Henning; Reagan Dunn Subject: Re: Dalpay Short Plat -- LUA 19-000136 Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Ms. Weihs: Here are some additional comments I would also like to be included. This came from the Wolf Woods annexation report — page 6: “Stormwter management will be provided directly or via contract — in a manner that is consistent with the City of Renton Stormwater Manual, King County standards and applicable State of Washington guidelines. As described in Section No. 3, the city is aware of some previously reported storm water management challenges in nearby areas. While annexation per se will not impact current matters, City officials report an intention to develop a plan to better address these issues following annexation of the Wolf Woods Area”. Maybe that can happen with this short plat? Thank you. Claudia Donnelly On Jul 9, 2019, at 9:16 AM, Claudia Donnelly <thedonnellys@oo.net> wrote: Thank you.

Thanks for the link. I read the SEPA report — but don’t see any mention about what Renton allowed in 2004 — the Windstone broken detention pond and the December 2004 flow of water to May Creek because of all the rain. That doesn’t surprise me, though. I hope you got the documents I sent to Mr. Close for the problems that might occur with Wolf Woods. I saw/read the drainage study and there was nothing mentioned about downstream drainage complaints and/or stream study. In 2010, I came down to Renton for the Maretin’s Ranch preliminary plat and found a drainage report that KC WLRD sent to their engineering firm. Plus I know of many other drainage reports in KC about our property. Mayor Law sent a letter to DNR about doing a SEPA report on May Creek for the proposed logging of DeLeo Wall area of Cougar Mountain. It’s like Renton doesn’t even want to mention what they allowed to happen to the various streams out here — out of sight, out of mind mentality. I am curious as to why a downstream analysis isn’t required? Thank you.

A neighborhood meeting is not required for this proposal; however, environmental review is required.

Henning <Jhenning@Rentonwa.gov> Subject: Dalpay Short Plat -- LUA 19-000136 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.

Henning" <jhenning@rentonw a.gov> 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. Claudia Donnelly 10415 - 147th Avenue SE Renton, WA 98059
