PROJECT NAME :
LUA13 -001572 , ECF ,PP,CAR
Henley USA LLC
The Reserve at Tiffany Park
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applica nt has submitted a proposal requesting SEPA
Environmental Review and Preliminary Plat approval for a 97 -lot subdivision (96 lots with a 30%
t ree retention alternative plan). The 21.66 acre site is located within the Residential -8 dwelling
units per acre (R -8) zoning classification. A small portion of the site located within the R-4
zoning classificat ion . All proposed lots would be located within the R-8 zoning classification.
The subject property is located at the dead end of SE 18th St bordered by the Cedar River
Pi peline along the southern property line and Mercer Island Pi peline along the eastern property
line . The 96 lots would result in a d e nsity no m o re than 5.70 dwelling units per acre . Lot si zes
would range from 4,500 square feet to 8,456 square feet with an average lot size of 5,399
squ are fee t. In additio n to the 97 (96) lots, 13 tracts are proposed for sensitive areas, tree
rete ntion, st o rm drainage, access, pedestrian connections, and open space including an
(ex i stin g) vegetated buffer alo ng the northern boundary 10-feet in w i dth . Access to the site
would be gained from SE 18th St with secondary access extended from 124th Place SE . The site
is currently vacant with 1,305 significant trees and the applicant has proposed to retain 147
trees (188 trees with a 30% tree retention alternat ive p lan). The applicant has submitted a
Wetland Report, Dra i nage Report, Traffic Impact Analysis, Geotechnical Eng i neering study,
Arborist Report, Habitat Data Report, and Independent Secondary Studies for Transportation
and Wetlands are included with the application . The site contains three Category 2 wetlands
(Wetlands A, C, and , D) and two Category 3 wetlands (Wetland B and E). The app l icant is
requesting a Critical Area Exemption for the extension of SE 18th St through portions of the
buffer associated with Wetland E.
