Hello Claudia,
Thank you for your comments. I am assuming you would like to be made a party of record correct?
A neighborhood meeting is not required for this proposal; however, environmental review is required.
You can view the SEPA checklist, as well as the other submittal documents (including drainage report
and stream study), using the following link:

Let me know if you have any additional questions,

Dear Ms. Weihs:
I thought of some other information this morning that I want to pass onto you.
In 2009, my husband and I added a room onto our house and had to have an inspection of our
property before we could get our building permit. Because of the stream, we had to leave the
buffer and then we had to use buffer averaging for the rest of our side yard. Therefore, we can’t
do anything with our side yard — where the stream is located. In addition the inspector found a
wetland — since confirmed by planners for the Wolf Woods project at the corner of our side
yard and we had to take that into account also.
And as for the SEPA documents, I would like to view them — if and when they are
completed. Also, if this plat goes through, the entire area will be covered in black top. There
maybe a detention pond, but as I’ve been told over and over agaiin, a detention pond cannot
collect all of the sediment. Some of the stormwater runoff will flow down 148th Avenue SE
(Nile) into the tributary of Greenes Stream that comes off the drainage ditch and goes underneath
148th about 500 feet frm SR 900. I believe that is the runoff from King County Roads and
150th Avenue SE. That flows down 148th into the residences of King County residents and
then back to my area and then into Greennes Stream via a culvert in the driveway at 10403 -
147th Avenue SE.
I guess I will be coming down to City Hall later this week to obtain the documents I’ve
requested. The site quoted is: http: bit.ly/2Xqzy52
Thank you.

Can you please send me a link to the documents you talk about on the white board
— I can’t seem to access them with my MAC.
Thank you.

Dear Ms. Weihs:
My name is Claudia Donnelly and I live downstream of where the
Dalpay Short Plat wants to go in - - I live in King County and have
Greenes Stream flowing through my yard to May Creek. Earlier,
I sent Mr. Close some documents and pictures for Wolf Woods and
Dalpay Short Plat. You may want to get copies for your file.
In 1989, a gentleman who owned the property where Windstone is
now located got a $50 permit from DNR and clear cut his property
and left it for 6 years. Starting in 1990 - 97, we got his flood
waters, sedimentation, erosion, crud. King County didn’t stop
it. In August 2004, I saw yellow muddy water flowing down
Greenes Stream and called a Renton planner who told me that “the
Windstone detention pond broke”. In December 2004, there was
so much rain that KBS was using a sprinkler was used to disperse
the water. Again, I had yellow water flowing down and a Renton
inspector did not stop it. So, I got 4 samples and drove to DOE
offices in Bellevue. By 1 pm, a DOE inspector was on site and
stopped the flow. I am trying to protect my property, Greenes
Stream and May Creek. I hope you take these two incidents into
account when you write your final report. In addition, at Piper’s
Bluff, the detention pond broke 3 different times. Also, I gave
Jennifer and Mr. Close an article on storm water runoff case
law. I have had many problems with storm water runoff in the
last 32 years and hope that this project is killed.
In addition, I submitted a copy of a letter Mayor Law sent to DNR
and it talks about a SEPA report being done for the impact of dirty
water on May Creek, along with the sloping of the ground. I
hope both SEPA reports are done. Will this developer have to do
a neighborhood review/question and answer meeting? Because I
would love to attend and aske questions.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.
