I would like to go in record for the current comment period affixed to Short Plat application LUA17, 000263, SHPL-A. My name is... Jerry Kierig 6301 SE 2nd Place Renton WA 98059 (425) 271-3016 My property lies adjacent on the west to the application property noted above. I have lived on this property since 1994. During that time My wife Karen and I have witnessed/ experienced the change of our property from living on a rural dirt road to now a semi-congested neighborhood with a wide paved development access route in front of our house. While we are not objectionable to progress and change and the increase of our property value... it has come with some inconveniences. Added traffic, noise, and additional water flow problems around and onto our property from the development of properties uphill from ours. The application property is mostly higher to ours and a quite significant ground water spring has soaked the portion of said property directly adjacent to ours because it swails out in back of our former neighbors home. That flow helps feed our stand of large cedars there which we have no intention of removing as it adds to the diversity of the neighborhood in contrast to the development tactic of taking out the native trees. That swail/ flow continues through and around our property to the west and into the property behind us directly to the west and then spills out into the 154th st corridor. Evidence of this has been documented. My professional experience with land development is that addition of hard scape no matter how well its designed to mitigate storm/ surface water absorption will increase the upper subsurface & surface accumulation of storm water in historic subsurface ground water flow channels as water flows in direction of least resistance. The integration of a water flow management system is far more successful than the old dispersion policy which basically places the water flow problem on the property owners further down the "historic" storm water flow channel. After review of preliminary surface water management proposal I would like to go on record as being in favor of the designed storm water collection system designed by Pacific Engineering Design. The capture and management of hard scape storm/ surface water accumulation in my opinion is necessary to alleviate the additional water flow problems which has increased on the application property over the past 2 decades from over development and lack of surface storm water management uphill from my property. Water will continue to flow in the direction of the native flow but at a smaller volume with a collection management system on the application property. jk Jerry Kierig CPBD, AIBD VP Design & Engineering PAN ABODE Cedar Homes 800-782-2633 or (425) 255-8260 panabodehomes.com On 5/18/2017 12:20 PM, Matthew Herrera wrote: Hi Jerry, yes email format is fine. –Matt Matt Herrera, AICP Senior Planner City of Renton 425.430.6593 From: Jerry Kierig [mailto:jerryk@panabodehomes.com] Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2017 12:08 PM To: Matthew Herrera <MHerrera@Rentonwa.gov> Subject: Re: LUA17, 000263, SHPL-A Additional Info Request Matt...

LUA17, 000263, SHPL-A Additional Info Request Pls provide the subdivision plan for this project and name of new legal owner. I am the property owner directly adjacent on the west and interested why the design states storm water tract on east side of project property. Low end is the west side, we have water problems associated with the spring that is on the west side of the project site. Thank you for any info you can provide. jk -- Jerry Kierig CPBD, AIBD VP Design & Engineering PAN ABODE Cedar Homes 800-782-2633 or (425) 255-8260 panabodehomes.com
