The residential density of the project with bonus density is 18 du/ac. Access to the townhomes would be from S 132nd St. The site slopes down to the south with vertical relief of roughly 70 ft. The garages would be accessed via private alleys and all of the townhomes would be alley-loaded.

Preliminary estimates of 15,000 cy of cut and 3,600 cy of fill. The site contains greenhouses, a shop, a utility building and a single family detached home. All of the existing structures would be demolished as part of the proposed project. No wetlands or streams are located on the property. There is a small drainage that runs east-west and is roughly 175 ft to 350 ft south of the property. The developed site would continue to drain to the south to the natural discharge location for the site. The site is located in the West Lake Washington drainage basin and stormwater would be met with a stormwater detention vault followed by a media filter vault with Level 2 Flow Control standards. The site contains 57 significant trees, all of which are proposed to be removed. Construction is estimated to begin in May 2018 and end one year later.
