The previous monitoring was completed by Habitat Ecology and Design, however the same staff member from Habitat Ecology and Design that set up the project, completed the site visits, and authored the annual reports is now working for KJL Environmental. Therefore the institutionalized knowledge regarding the mitigation installation, maintenance, and monitoring has remained constant over the monitoring period. The Year Four monitoring was not completed because Habitat Ecology and Design, Inc. closed as a business in late 20ll/early 2012. If there are any questions regarding this transition, please feel free to contact our office anytime. The mitigation project site is located near the intersection of Wells Avenue South and South 34th Street, within the City of Renton. KJL Environmental staff visited the mitigation site on January 12, 2013 to assess the mitigation areas in regards to the outlined Standards of Success. The following is a summary of our site visit and the results ofthe mitigation in regards to Year Five requirements. Standards of Success Standards of success are an essential tool to measure a mitigation project. Four specific performance standards were outlined in the June 8, 2007 Wetland Mitigation/Buffer Enhancement and Maintenance/Monitoring Plan completed by AlderNW. These performance standards were created to evaluate the mitigation project in regards to the three goals identified in the report, which include: (1) Creating new scrub-shrub wetland habitat that mimics native wetland plant communities, (2) Controlling invasive plant growth within the mitigation planting areas, and (3) Enhancing the existing wetland and buffer area by planting native trees and shrubs. The following are the standards of success: (1) A minimum 80-percent average native vegetative cover of trees and shrubs throughout the mitigation areas at the end of the five year monitoring period. Plant species composition should meet the intent of the mitigation goals. (2) A minimum of 80-percent survival of planted trees and shrubs at the end of each of the five years of the monitoring period. This survival rate is established as a goal and may be adjusted where natural regeneration and growth has resulted in minimum plant cover, as defined in Item 1. Weedy and 303 North Baker Street 0 Mount Vernon, WA 98273 0 Phone: (425) 308-4628 Email: KJL.ENCO@gmail.com '. Cherie Lane Division 2 Year Five Monitoring Report invasive species, such as reed canary grass and Himalayan blackberry, will not be considered suitable substitutes for the planted species. (3) Less than ten percent cover by invasive weedy species at the end of each growing season (juring the five year monitoring period. (4) Saturated soils at minimum of 18 inches from the surface throughout the limits of the wetland creation areas at least until May 1, measured consecutively, for each year during the monitoring period. The monitoring project was set up to capture data that reflects whether or not the project is meeting the standards of success. Methods Habitat Ecology originally established four transects, two quadrats, and eight photo points in April 2009 to help assess the mitigation project in regards to the identified Standards of Success. The purpose of the transects is to determine percent survival for the project and the quadrats will be used to determine vegetative cover. The transects and quadrats are samples of the entire project and are assumed to represent the trends and conditions of the entire mitigation project. The following is a description of the location and dimensions of the transects and quadrats. Transects Four transects were established to measure plant survival, with transect dimensions provided on the stakes. The approved mitigation plan required a minimum of 5-50' transects. Due to the size and shape of the mitigation areas, Habitat Ecology and Design established 3-50' transects and 1-100' transect. The data recorded from the transects are used to assess the percent survival of the mitigation plants over the course of the monitoring period. The following are the general location and dimension of these transects: • Transect 1 (Wetland Creation): Established within the wetland creation area. The transect is 50' long by 5' wide and includes Photo Points 1 and 2 at the east end and west end of the transect respectively. • Transect 2 (Wetland and Buffer Enhancement): Established west of Transect L The transect is 100' long by 5' wide and includes Photo Points 3 and 4 at the east end and west end of the transect respectively. Quadrat 2 is located at the east end of the transect. • Transect 3 (Wetland Enhancement): Located within the enhancement, east of the wetland creation areas. The transect is 50' long by 5' wide. and includes Photo Points 5 and 6 located at the north end and south end of the transect respectively. • Transect 4 (Buffer Enhancement): Located at the east end of the mitigation area, just north of Lot 6. The transect is 50' long by 5' wide and includes Photo Points 1 and 8. Quadrats Two Quadrats were established at the ends of Transects 1 and 2. The percent cover for trees, shrubs, herbaceous, and total cover was visually estimated. The data recorded within these quadrats will be used to evaluate the percent cover performance standards outlined in the final mitigation plan. • Quadrat 1: Located at the east end of Transect 1. The quadrat is 20' x 20'. January 21,2013 Prepared by: KJL Environmental Consulting Page 2 of7 KJL# 13-01 " Cherie Lane Division 2 _ ~GlI' Five Monitoring Report • Quadrat 2: Located at the east end ofTransect 2. The quadrat is 20' x 20'. Results The following sections are a summary of the general observations and data collected from the January 12, 2013 site visit. This information will be used to determine whether the mitigation areas are meeting the Year Five performance standards outlined in the final mitigation plan. Overall Percent Survival The overall Percent Survival is 93% within the four transects, which is a 7% decrease from Year Three values. The mitigation plants continue to grow and have increased in both size and canopy cover. Many of the native volunteers noted in the Year Three inspection and continued to grow and are now well established. This includes young volunteer red alder, black cottonwood, and Nootka rose plants that are providing increased native plant densities. In addition, a dense native herbaceous plant community has become established. These plants will help increase water quality improvement functions, as well as provide limited biological support. A small number of installed plants were removed when Soos Creek Water and Sewer District cleared and graded within the eastern portion of the easement (see Figures 13-14 for photographs of area). It should be noted that the overall mitigation site is meeting the percent survival performance standards. The percent survival data provided in Table 1 include live, stressed, and dead plants observed in the field.

Quadrat 2: Overall percent cover for the mitigation plants is 85% with invasive cover less than 5%. This is a 20% increase during the past growing season due in large part to the many volunteer black cottonwood seedlings and new Nootka rose shoots observed within the quadrat/transect area. Photo Point Assessment Eight photo points were established by placing a stake at each location with a description of photo directions. The pictures included below should be compared with previous reports to help track changes over time. A visual comparison can help assess growth, disturbance, or other changes over the length of the monitoring period. Surface ponding was observed within the wetland creation area, which is a criteria outlined in Standard of Success #4. Comparison with the April 2009 photographs included in a previous report indicates substantial growth during over the course of the monitoring period. Many of the photographs show high canopy cover with low invasive cover. The willows present within the wetland creation area are providing important biological support functions through screening and habitat complexity.

The mitigation plants in addition to native volunteer species are well established and are providing increased functions and values. Herbaceous cover including bent grass and soft rush has colonized the sewer line mitigation area. The plants are helping increase local water quality and habitat functions and will provide a good transition community as the planted trees and shrubs continue to grow. Both the installed and native volunteer plant species have seen substantial growth over the past two growing seasons. A small number of installed mitigation plants were cleared as part of maintenance activities associated with the sewer line easement. Based on conversations with Mitchell Fines Homes, the cleared area was not part of the NGPA or mitigation area. Conclusion Overall, the Cherie Lane Division 2 mitigation project is meeting the Year Five performance standards. The mitigation plantings appear generally healthy and well established. The following is a summary of how the site is doing in regards to each performance standard . . (1) The mitigation plantings had an aerial cover of 80 and 85% within the two recorded quadrats. The plants appear to be well established and have continued to increase the total aerial cover over monitoring period. (2) The total percent survival within the established transects is 93%. Some mortality of installed mitigation plants was recorded due primarily to clearing and grading activities associated with sewer line easement maintenance, however the presence of volunteer native species has offset the loss of plants. (3) Less than 5% invasive cover was observed within the two quadrats. Overall, invasive cover throughout the mitigation areas appeared low due in large part to the success of installed and native volunteer plants. (4) Surface ponding and saturation was observed within the wetland creation area. The mitigation project has met Year Five performance standards established in the mitigation plan.

Mitchell Fine Homes Attn: Scott Mitchell 3815 S 380th Street Auburn, W A 98001 Re: Cherie Lane Division 2 Year Three Monitoring Report City of Renton Fi1~UA05~I-m Dear Mr. Mitchell: Habitat Ecology and Design, Inc. has completed the Year Three monitoring assessment for the Cherie Lane Division 2 Project. The mitigation project site is located near the intersection of Wells Avenue South and South 34th Street, within the City of Renton. The purpose of this report is to fulfill the Year Three report requirements. Habitat Ecology and Design visited the mitigation site on January 19, 2011 to assess the mitigation areas in regards to the outlined Standards of Success. The following is a summary of our site visit and the results of the mitigation in regards to Year Three requirements. Standards of Success Standards of success are an essential tool to measure a mitigation project. Four specific performance standards were outlined in the June 8, 2007 Wetland MitigationlBuffer Enhancement and Maintenance/Monitoring Plan completed by AlderNW. These performance standards were created to evaluate the mitigation project in regards to the three goals identified in the report, which include: (1) Creating new scrub-shrub wetland habitat that mimics native wetland plant communities, (2) Controlling invasive plant growth within the mitigation planting areas, and (3) Enhancing the existing wetland and buffer area by planting native trees and shrubs. The following are the standards of success: (1) A minimum 80-percent average native vegetative cover of trees and shrubs throughout the mitigation areas at the end of the five year monitoring period. Plant species composition should meet the intent of the mitigation goals. (2) A minimum of80-percent survival of planted trees and shrubs at the end of each of the five years of the monitoring period This survival rate is established as a goal and may be adjusted where natural regeneration and growth has resulted in minimum plant cover, as defined in Item 1. Weedy and invasive species, such as reed canary grass and Himalayan blackberry, will not be considered suitable substitutes for the planted species. (3) Less than ten percent cover by invasive weedy specieS at the end of each growing season during the five year monitoring period (4) Saturated soils at minimum of 18 inches from the surface throughout the limits of the wetland creation areas at least until May 1, measured consecutively, for each year during the monitoring period 1826 4th Street • Marysville, WA 98270 • Phone: (360) 658-9810 Fax: (360) 651-7252 • Email: kyleI.habitatedi@gmail.com Cherie Lane Division 2 Year Three Monitoring Report The monitoring project was set up to capture data that reflects whether or not the project is meeting the standards of success. Methods Habitat Ecology staff established four transects, two quadrats, and eight photo points in April 2009 to help assess the mitigation project in regards to the identified Standards of Success. The transects will be used to determine percent survival for the project and the quadrats will be used to determine vegetative cover. The transects and quadrats are samples of the entire project and are assumed to represent the trends and conditions of the entire mitigation project. The following is a description of the location and dimensions ofthe transects and quadrats. Transects Four transects were established to measure plant survival, with transect dimensions provided on the stakes. The approved mitigation plan required a minimum of 5-50' transects. Due to the size and shape of the mitigation areas, The Jay Group established 3-50' transects and 1-100' transect. The data recorded from the transects will be used to assess the percent survival of the mitigation plants over the course of the remaining four years of monitoring. The following are the general location and dimension of these transects: • Transect 1 (Wetland Creation): Established within the wetland creation area. The transect is 50' long by 5' wide and includes Photo Points 1 and 2 at the east end and west end of the transect respectively. • Transect 2 (Wetland and Buffer Enhancement): Established west of Transect 1. The transect is 100' long by 5' wide and includes Photo Points 3 and 4 at the east end and west end of the transect respectively. Quadrat 2 is located at the east end of the transect. • Transect 3 (Wetland Enhancement): Located within the enhancement, east of the wetland creation areas. The transect is 50' long by 5' wide and includes Photo Points 5 and 6 located at the north end and south end of the transect respectively. • Transect 4 (Buffer Enhancement): Located at the east end of the mitigation area, just north of Lot 6. The transect is 50' long by 5' wide and includes Photo Points 7 and 8. Quadrats Two Quadrats were established at the ends of Transects 1 and 2. The percent cover for trees, shrubs, herbaceous, and total cover was visually estimated. The data recorded within these quadrats will be used to evaluate the percent cover performance standards outlined in the final mitigation plan. • Quadrat 1: Located at the east end of Transect 1. The quadrat is 20' x 20'. • Quadrat 2: Located at the east end of Transect 2. The quadrat is 20' x 20'. Results The following sections are a summary of the general observations and data collected from the January 19, 2011 site visit. This information will be used to determine whether the mitigation areas are meeting the Year Three performance standards outlined in the final mitigation plan. Overall Percent Survival The overall Percent Survival is 100% within the four transects, which is a 1 % increase from Year Two values. The increase and overall high percent survival are due in large part to the continued growth from native February 7, 2011 Prepared by: Habitat Ecology and Design, Inc Page 2 of6 HEDI 009-1069 t Cherie Lane Division 2 _ ~ar Three Monitoring Report volunteer plants. Many native plants were observed outside of the established transects, with young volunteer red alder, black cottonwood, and Nootka rose plants providing increased native plant densities. The herbaceous plant cover also continues to provide water quality improvement and habitat functions. The combination of the herbaceous plant cover with the emerging shrub and tree canopy will help to continue to increase habitat support functions through the creation of foraging and nesting opportunities. The percent survival data provided in Table 1 include live, stressed, and dead plants observed in the field The mitigation plants continue to grow and have increased in both size and canopy cover that wi11lik:ely continue into Year Four.

The following is a summary of the recorded cover values. Quadrat 1: Overall percent cover for the mitigation plants is 55% with invasive cover at less than 5%. This is a 10% increase during the past growing season, which is due to new growth and volunteer plants. The mitigation plants appeared healthy and well established. Quadrat 2: Overall percent cover forthe mitigation plants is 60% with invasive cover less than 5%. This is a 5% increase during the past growing season due in large part to the many volunteer black cottonwood seedlings observed within the quadrat/transect area. Plant cover should continue to increase into Year Four. Photo Point Assessment Eight photo points were established by placing a stake at each location with a description of photo directions. These pictures will be used as a visual comparison to assess growth, disturbance, or other changes over the length of the monitoring period Surface ponding was observed within the wetland creation area, which is a criteria outlined in Standard of Success #4. Comparison with previous photographs demonstrates the continued growth and establishment of trees and shrubs within the planting areas. Many of the photographs show high canopy cover with low invasive cover. The willows present within the wetland creation area have created closed canopy conditions in portions of the wetland They will continue to provide important biological support functions through screening and habitat complexity.

The mitigation areas are relatively :free of invasive cover; however maintenance may be needed during the next growing season to remove some Himalayan blackberry near Transect Four. The mitigation plants in addition to native volunteer species are well established and are helping to provide an overall increase in functions and values for the on-site wetland unit. The herbaceous vegetation is also well established and is helping to keep invasive cover low while the woody vegetation grows. The plants are helping increase local water quality and habitat functions and will provide a good transition community as the planted trees and shrubs continue to grow. The next maintenance visit should occur during the middle of the next growing season to help insure that invasive cover remains low. Conclusion Overall, the Cherie Lane Division 2 mitigation project is meeting the Year Three performance standards. The mitigation plantings continue to appear healthy and well established The following is a summary of how the site is doing in regards to each performance standard (l) The mitigation plantings had an average 57.5% aerial cover within the two recorded quadrats. This' is an increase from Year Two and is on pace to reach the 80% threshold by Year Five. (2) The total percent survival within the newly established transects is 100%. Some mortality of installed mitigation plants was recorded, however the presence of volunteer native species has offset the loss of plants. (3) Less than 5% invasive cover was observed within the two quadrats. Overall, invasive cover throughout the mitigation areas appeared low due in large part to recent maintenance. . (4) Surfuce ponding and saturation was observed within the wetland creation area. The mitigation areas appear to be on track to meet the Year Three performance standards.

The mitigation project site is located near the intersection of Wells Avenue South and South 34th Street, within the City of Renton. It is our understanding that the first three quarterly reports required by the mitigation report have been completed and approved by the City of Renton. The previous three quarters of monitoring were completed by AlderNW. The purpose of this report it to fulfill the Year One Fourth Quarter report requirement. The Jay Group, Inc. visited the mitigation site on April 16, 2009 to assess the mitigation areas in regards to the outlined Standards of Success. The previously established transects created by AlderNW could not be located in the field during this site visit. Therefore, we established four new transects (3-50' transects and 1-100'), which will be used for the remainder of the monitoring period to evaluate the identified performance standards. This also included the establishment of two quadrats and eight photo points. The following is a summary of our initial site visit and the results of the mitigation in regards to Year One, Fourth Quarter requirements. Standards of Success Four specific performance standards were outlined in the June 8, 2007 Wetland Mitigation/Buffer Enhancement and Maintenance/Monitoring Plan completed by AlderNW. These performance standards were created to evaluate the mitigation project in regards to the three goals identified in the report, which include: (1) Creating new scrub-shrub wetland habitat that mimics native wetland plant communities, (2) Controlling invasive plant growth within the mitigation planting areas, and (3) Enhancing the existing wetland and buffer area by planting native trees and shrubs. The following are the standards of success: . . (1) A minimum 80-percent average native vegetative cover of trees and shrubs throughout the mitigation areas at the end of the five year monitoring period. Plant species composition should meet the intent of the mitigation goals. 1927 5th Street • Marysville, WA 98270 • Phone: (360) 659-8159 Fax: (360) 651-7252 • Email: kylel@jaygroupllc.com Cherie Lane Division l ~ar One Fourth Quarter Monitorin.port (2) A minimum of 80-percent survival of planted trees and shrubs at the end of each of the five years of the monitoring period. This survival rate is established as a goal and may be adjusted where natural regeneration and growth has resulted in minimum plant cover, as defined in Item 1. Weedy and invasive species, such as reed canary grass and Himalayan blackberry, will not be considered suitable substitutes for the planted species. (3) Less than ten percent cover by invasive weedy species at the end of each growing season during the five year monitoring period. (4) Saturated soils at minimum of 18 inches from the surface throughout the limits of the wetland creation areas at least until May 1, measured consecutively, for each year during the monitoring period. Methods As mentioned above, four transects, two quadrats, and eight photo points have been established to help assess the mitigation project in regards to the identified Standards of Success. The transects will be used to determine percent survival for the project and the quadrats will be used to determine vegetative cover. The transects and quadrats are samples of the entire project and are assumed to represent the trends and conditions of the entire mitigation project. The following is a description of the location and dimensions of the transects and quadrats. Transects Four transects were established to measure plant survival, with transect dimensions provided on the stakes. The approved mitigation plan required a minimum of 5-50' transects. Due to the size and shape of the mitigation areas, The Jay Group established 3-50' transects and 1-100' transect. The data recorded from the transects will be used to assess the percent survival of the mitigation plants over the course of ' the remaining four years of monitoring. The following are the general location and dimension of these transects: • Transect 1 (Wetland Creation): Established within the wetland creation area. The transect is 50' long by 5' wide and includes Photo Points 1 and 2 at the east end and west end of the transect respectively. • Transect 2 (Wetland and Buffer Enhancement): Established west of Transect 1. The transect is 100' long by 5' wide and includes Photo Points 3 and 4 at the east end and west end of the transect respectively. Quadrat 2 is located at the east end of the transect. ' • Transect 3 (Wetland Enhancement): Located within the enhancement, east of the wetland creation areas. The transect is 50' long by 5' wide and includes Photo Points 5 and 6 located at the north end and south end of the transect respectively. • Transect 4 (Buffer Enhancement): Located at the east end of the mitigation area, just north of Lot 6. The transect is 50' long by 5' wide and includes Photo Points 7 and 8. Quadrats Two Quadrats were established at the ends of Transects 1 and 2. The percent cover for trees, shrubs, herbaceous, and total cover was visually estimated. The data recorded within these quadrats will be used to evaluate the percent cover performance standards outlined in the final mitigation plan. • Quadrat 1: Located at the east end of Transect 1. The quadrat is 20' x 20'. • Quadrat 2: Located at the east end of Transect 2. The quadrat is 20' x 20'.

This infonnation will be used to detennine whether the mitigation areas are meeting the Year One, Fourth Quarter perfonnance standards outlined in the final mitigation plan. Overall Percent Survival The overall Percent Survival is 100% within the four transects, however some indications of stress were observed on some of the mitigation plants. The majority of the mitigation plants appear very healthy and well established. The plants should continue to do well, with little additional mortality expected. The percent survival data provided in Table 1 include live, stressed, and dead plants observed in the field. This data will be used for future evaluation during the remaining monitoring visits.

The following is a summary of the recorded cover values. Quadrat 1: Overall percent cover for the mitigation plants is 35% with invasive cover at less than 5%. The mitigation plants appeared healthy in this area with many new buds and shoots. Quadrat 2: Overall percent cover for the mitigation plants is 50% with invasive cover less than 5%. Many volunteer black cottonwood seedlings were observed within the quadrat/transect area. Photo Point Assessment Eight photo points were established by placing a stake at each location with a description of photo directions. These pictures will be used as a visual comparison to assess growth, disturbance, or other changes over the length of the monitoring period. Currently surface ponding/saturation can be seen in the wetland creation area (Figures 1-2). In addition, the mitigation areas appear to have low invasive cover.

Recommendations Maintenance appears to have occurred recently, which has removed the majority of Himalayan blackberry cover within the mitigation planting areas. Herbaceous cover including bent grass and soft rush has colonized the sewer line mitigation area. The plants are helping increase local water quality and habitat functions and will provide a good transition community as the planted trees and shrubs continue to grow. A substantial amount of new Indian plum and snowberry starts were observed throughout much of the mitigation area was observed. These plants will provide increased canopy cover and should help decrease the temporal loss associated with the project impacts. Continued maintenance should occur later in the current growing season to help insure that invasive cover remains low. Conclusion Overall, the Cherie Lane Division 2 mitigation project is meeting the Year One, Fourth Quarter performance standards. The mitigation plantings appear generally healthy and well established. The following is a summary of how the site is doing in regards to each performance standard. (1) The mitigation plantings had an average 40% aerial cover within the two recorded quadrats. The plants appear to be growing well and should continue to increase the total aerial cover over to reach the 80% threshold by Year Five. (2) The total percent survival within the newly established transects is 100%. The large number of snowberry, Indian plum, and rose volunteer plants should help increase the plant cover and survival numbers. (3) Less than 5% invasive cover was observed within the two quadrats. Overall, invasive cover throughout the mitigation areas appeared low due in large part to recent maintenance. (4) Surface ponding and saturation was observed within the wetland creation area. The mitigation areas appear to be on .track to meet the Year Two performance standards. Continued maintenance should occur to help keep invasive plant cover low.

Mitigation was required for the project to compensate for wetland and wetland buffer impacts resulting from construction of the project. The mitigation design for the project is presented on the Wetland Mitigation Plan, dated June 8, 2007, by AlderNW. Third Qu~rterly Monitoring Standards Monitoring standards to be examined during the second quarterly monitoring visit as listed on the Wetland Mitigation Plan, dated June 8, 2007, by AlderNW are as follows: . 1. Verify that any maintenance recommendations identified III previous report have been completed as necessary. 2. Less than ten percent cover by invasive shrub species. The monitoring report will identify maintenance requirements and any adjustments which may be recommended to assure that the mitigation work is performing satisfactorily to meet the project objectives. The monitoring will include fencing, signage, presence of trash and debris and any other conditions which may require maintenance or adjustments. Vegetative Cover Three 50ft sample transects to measure of the level of plant cover over the mitigation area has been established. Transect 1 is located within the mitigation area behind (north of) Lots 1 and the detention tract. Transect 2 is located within the mitigation area behind Lots 3 and 4. Transect 3 rums in a north-south direction located within the mitigation planting area west of Lot 6. 518 North 59th Street. Seattle. Washington 98103-Phone (206)783-1036 email aldernw@comcast.net Mr. Scott Mitchell September 8, 2008 . Results of the % cover sampling are presented on Tables lA, IB and lC. The overall average woody shrub cover along the three transects is approximately 32%. This result at the end of the first growing season after installation of the plantings indicates satisfactory growth toward meeting the standard of 80% shrub cover by the end of the 5 year monitoring period. Himalayan blackberry is present within the mitigation area as noted in the second quarterly monitoring report dated June 5, 2008. Efforts to reduce the growth of the Himalayan blackberry were undertaken during the time period since the second quarterly monitoring report. Control measures included physically cutting the above ground canes. The overall average cover by Himalayan blackberry along the three transects is just under approximately 10%. This level of cover meets the standard for cover by Himalayan blackberry. Recommendations Based on observations of conditions on the mitigation area, I have the following recommendations for maintenance activities, to be completed during June. 1. Himalayan blackberry is present throughout the mitigation area. It is important that blackberry be controlled at this time. If left to grow, the blackberry will begin to affect the survival and growth of the planted materials and other desirable native species, and it will be more· difficult to control during successive years. Blackberry control measures should next be undertaken next spring in May or early June when spring growth is underway. Blackberry control may be accomplished by a combination of cutting canes and application of an approved glyphosate herbicide such as Rodeo. Herbicide should be applied by use of brush or small hand held sprayer to avoid damaging nearby native vegetation. In working to control the blackberry, care should be taken to avoid damage to desirable native species. 2. Trash and debris from the ongoing construction activity adjacent to the mitigation area should be removed as it appears. Contractors and homeowners should be notified that debris shall not be discarded into NGPA. The next quarterly monitoring inspection for the project is scheduled to be conducted during the month of December, 2008. The monitoring visit in December will include a measure of the survival rates for the planted materials and will include recommendations for replacing plants which have not survived.

Results of this count are presented on Table I. Plant materials in general, are in good condition and have put on new growth since the mitigation plantings were installed in October, 2007, and reported in the first quarterly report dated April I, 2007. The overall survival rate for the planted materials is 91 %. Survival of the planted materials will be reviewed during the third quarterly monitoring visit. Results of the count made at that time will be used in identifying replanting requirements to meet the plant survival standard at the end of the first year. Plant Cover Himalayan blackberry is present within the mitigation. A qualitative evaluation of the level of cover by the Himalayan blackberry indicates that it exceeds the desired level identified in the standards of success. Recommendations Based on observations of conditions on the mitigation area, I have the following recommendations for maintenance activities, to be completed during June. 1. Himalayan blackberry is present around the margins of the mitigation areas and is beginning spring growth on some sections of the mitigation area. Blackberry where it is present within the mitigation area should be removed from the area. Blackberry control may be accomplished by a combination of cutting canes and application of an approved glyphosate herbicide such as Rodeo. Herbicide should be applied by use of brush or small hand held sprayer to avoid damaging nearby native vegetation. It is important that the blackberry be controlled at this time. If left to grow, the blackberry will begin to affect the survival and growth of the planted materials and other desirable native species, and it will be more difficult to control during successive years. In working to control the blackberry, care should be taken to avoid damage to desirable native species. 2. Contractors working on houses adjacent to the mitigation area have discarded some construction debris and trash into the mitigation area. This trash should be removed. Contractors and homeowners should be notified that debris shall not be discarded into NGP A.

' AIderNW April 1, 2007 Project No. 20104 Mr. Scott Mitchell Mitchell Fine Homes 3819 South 380th Street Auburn, Washington 98103 Subject: First Quarter Monitoring Report Wetland Mitigation Cherie Lane North Renton, Washington Dear Mr. Mitchell: In accordance with monitoring requirements for the Wetland Mitigation Area in thCherie Lane North project, I conducted a monitoring visit on March 27, 2008. Mitigation was required for the project to compensate for wetland and wetland buffer impacts resulting from construction of the project. The mitigation design for the project is presented on the Wetland Mitigation Plan, dated June 8, 2007, by AIderNw. Standards of Success The following standards were listed in the Final Wetland Mitigation Plan and Maintenance/Monitoring Plan dated June 8, 2007, for the project: 1. A minimum 80-percent average native vegetative cover of trees and shrubs at the end of the minimum five year monitoring period. Plant species composition shall meet the intent of the mitigation goals. 2. A minimum of 80-percent survival of planted trees and shrubs at the end of each of the minimum five years of the monitoring period. This survival rate is established as a goal and may be adjusted where natural regeneration and growth has resulted in minimum plant cover, as defined in Item 1. Weedy and invasive species, such as reed canarygrass and Himalayan blackberry, will not be considered suitable substitutes for the planted species. 3. Less than twenty percent cOver by invasive weedy species at the end of each growing season during the five year monitoring period. These standards are to be met within the area included in the buffer enhancement and mitigation planting area, covering approximately 32,660sq.ft. General conditions within the mitigation area or illustrated in the attached photographs. 518 North 59th Street. Seattle. Washington 981()3-Phone (206)783-1036 email aldernw@Corncast.net Mr. Scott Mitchell April 1. 2008 Wetland Hydrology There was surface water present within the wetland creation area at the time of the monitoring visit on March 27. 2008. The wetland hydrology standard is being met for the project Plant Survival I completed a count of the surviving plant materials within the designated mitigation area. Results of this count are presented on Table 1. Plant materials are in good condition and have put on new growth since the mitigation plantings were installed in October, 2007, and reported in the as-built report dated November 28,2007. Recommendations Based on observations of conditions on the mitigation area, I have the following recommendations for maintenance activities, to be completed during May and June. 1. Himalayan blackberry is present around the margins of the mitigation areas and is beginning spring growth on some sections of the mitigation area. Blackberry where it is present within the mitigation area should be removed from the area. Blackberry control may be accomplished by a combination of cutting canes and application of an approved glyphosate herbicide such as Rodeo. Herbicide should be applied by use of brush or small hand held sprayer to avoid damaging nearby native vegetation. 2. Contractors working on houses adjacent to the mitigation area have discarded some construction debris and trash into the mitigation area. This trash should be removed. Contractors and homeowners should be notified that debris shall not be discarded into NGP A. The next quarterly monitoring inspection fOf the project is scheduled to be conducted during the month of June, 2008. It is my observation that with completion of the recommended maintenance activities, the mitigation area will be satisfactorily progressing toward meeting stated performance standards to be satisfied at the end of the monitoring period for the project. If you have any questions or require additional infonnation, please call. Sincerely yours, ALDERNW j~~~ Enclosures Photos of Mitigation Area.

Schweikl Cherie Lane Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA 05-147, ECF, PP September 18, 2006 Northwest quadrant of S 34th Place and Wells Ave S Approval for a subdivision of two parcels ofland totaling 2.84 acres into 6 lots suitable for single-family residential development. Development Services Recommendation: Approve subject to conditions DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT: The Development Services Report was received by the Examiner on August 29,2006. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Development Services Report, examining available infonnation on file with the application, field checking the property and surrounding area; the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: MINUTES The following minutes are a summary of the September 5, 2006 hearing. The legal record is recorded on CD. The hearing opened on Tuesday, September 5, 2006; at approximately 10:20 a.m. in the Council Chambers on the seventh floor of the Renton City Hall. Parties wishing to testify were affinned by the Examiner. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit No.1: Yellow file containing the original Exhibit No.2: Vicinity Map application, proof of posting, proof of publication and other documentation pertinent to this request.

There was a correction to the staff report, as of August 2006 the owner of the property is Amberwood LLC. The project is 2.84 acres which was originally submitted for a short plat and during the initial review it was determined that the number of tracts were too many and so it was moved up to the preliminary plat level and submitted as such. Originally there were nine lots, seven that fronted directly on S 34th Place and two other residential lots proposed to be accessed from an access easement off S 34th Place and crossing S 34th Street, an undeveloped right-of-way. There are wetlands on each side plus a stormwater tract. . Currentll' the plan is for 6 residential lots fronting off S 34th Place, one stormwater tract, a public right-of-way off S 34 Street, which is to remain undeveloped, and then a Native Growth Protection Area north of the public right-of-way. With these changes, it is now back to a Short Plat. The recommendations were changed and so were read into the record: 1. The applicant shall submit a Final Wetland Mitigation Plan to demonstrate how the approved buffer averaging would be mitigated in areas abutting the wetland buffers. This Final Wetland Mitigation Plan shall include a restoration plan for the new waterline construction area. A monitoring program shall be required as required by Renton Municipal Code. The satisfaction of this requirement is subject to the review and approval of the Development Services Project Manager prior to recording the Final Plat. 2. Permanent buffer protection fencing, where wetland buffers abut the residential lots, in the form of a "split-rail" style wood fence shall be installed prior to final inspection. Rear yards of residential property abutting the wetland buffer should not be fenced with sight-obscuring fencing, but rather should utilize the split-rail fence. 3. A revised Conceptual Landscape Plan shall be submitted to the Development Services Project Manager for review and approval prior to Final Plat recording. 4. In order to avoid having the side yard (and possibly a fence) of Lot 6 along the access road of the plat (S. 34th Place) and to reduce curb cuts along Wells Ave S, Lot 6 shall front on and be accessed from S. 34th Place. 5. A Homeowners' Association (ROA) shall be created concurrently with the recording of the Final Plat in order to establish maintenance responsibilities for all shared improvements. The HOA shall be responsible for maintenance of the Native Growth Protection Area (easement), the stormwater detention Cherie Lane Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-05-147, ECF, PP September 18,2006 Page 3 tract, and any common areas created within the plat. A draft of the document shall be submitted to the City of Renton Development Services Division for review and approval by the City Attorney and Property Services section prior to recording of the Final Plat. 6. The applicant shall create a Native Growth Protection Easement for the areas identified as Wetland' A' , Wetland 'C', their associated buffer areas, and new buffer areas created to compensate for buffer . averaging. 7. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Traffic Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each new average daily trip associated with the project prior to the recording of the final plat. 8. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Fire Mitigation Fee based on a rate of $488.00 per new single- family lot prior to the recording of the final plat. 9. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per new single-family lot prior to the recording of the final plat. 10. The applicant shall obtain a revised Certificate of Sewer Availability from the Soos Creek Water & Sewer District indicating connection of side sewers for Lots 1 through 5 to a sewer line located in S. 34th Place and connection of side sewer for Lot 6 to a sewer line located in S. 34th Street. The property is located in south Renton at the intersection of S 34th Place and Wells Avenue South. The Winsper development abutts to the north and Talbot Road S is over a slight distance to the west. The two parcels ofland are divided by the public right-of-way, S 34th Street, this would result in 6 lots. There are two large wetlands on the property as well as the wetland buffers. The parcel is located in the Residential-8 Zone (R-8) and the Comprehensive Plan Designation is Residential-Single Family (RSF). The property is currently vacant. The plan does meet the requirements of the Community Design Element, Environmental Element, Housing and Land Use Elements. The wetlands have been determined to be Category 2 with 50-foot wide buffers required. The applicant has requested buffer averaging and staffhas approved this request. Soos Creek Utilities has put sewer lines through the wetlands, a sanitary sewer line and a storm line. The City of Renton is now telling the applicant that a waterline must be run from 34th Place up through one of the wetlands. Reconstruction is a condition of the plat. Staff has asked that the planting plan be revised so all of the buffer averaged areas are included in the planting plan. The proposed short plat meets all the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan Criteria and Policies. There are no utility easements. A final landscape plan will be provided later in the process and will be looked at with the final plat. Two trees are required for each building lot, five feet oflandscaping will be required along the public right-of-way, Wells Street and 34th Place. The boundaries are reasonable and the topography is a gentle slope, there are no steep slope issues on this property. The stonnwater plan is to utilize a vault in the tract. The vault may be part of the mitigation plan for the buffer averaging and will have to be addressed during the final mitigation plan. Soos Creek has provided a letter of availability for sewer service. They will provide service to the lots from the line in S 34th Street, which means that side sewers going through the wetlands and wetland buffers. The applicant, on the other hand, submitted a Cherie Lane Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-05-147, ECF, Pi- September 18, 2006 Page 4 utility plan showing Lot 6 accessing the line in S 34th Street outside the wetland buffer, but the other lots, 1-5 accessing the new line in S 34th Place. It is necessary to make sure that Soos Creek is in agreement with this plan. Brant Schweikl, 1945 S 375th Street, Federal Way, WA 98003 stated that he is the Civil Engineer for this project. The Stormwater report that was prepared actually addresses the 9-10t version. The vault that is shown is going to decrease in size. The plats located to the east have taken some of the recharge water that was originally reaching the wetlands, and has been piped through the existing S 34th Street right-of-way. That explains some of the reasons why the wetlands have changed. There was no recharge provided from the flows off the existing development. With the reconfiguration, previous Lots 7,8, and 9 were going to recharge the wetlands A and C. Due to conditions there, the only option is to take stormwater from Lot 6 into Wetland A for recharge. The vault itself will handle the impervious from the 6 lots minus the private access tract, which has been retracted from the final design. The sewers in S 34th Street are deep enough to service all the lots that was the original design. The City agreed with the design and no further development was required along S 34th Street. The initial intent was to stay out of the buffers, however S 34th Place is an accepted public right-of-way, to actually get the utilities into the system it would be necessary to do six open cuts into the pavement, where if service is accessed onto the S 34th Street for sanitary service it would be are-vegetation of the wetlands. This appears to be the best access. None of the services go into the actual wetland itself, but stay in the buffer area. The old existing Lot 8 will be set aside in a wetland tract. Kayren Kittrick, Development Services stated that the sewers belong to Soos Creek, the City would prefer developing into S 34th Place for ease of maintenance, however, Soos Creek will make the final decision. The additional dedication on 6th is specifically because they are using that frontage that is being used and so additional work needs to be done. The Examiner called for further testimony, regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 11 :08 am. FINDINGS. CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant, Brant A. Schweikl for Amberwood LLC, filed a request for a Preliminary Plat. 2. The yellow file containing the staff report, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A) documentation and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit #1. 3. The Environmental Review Committee (ERC), the City's responsible official issued a Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated (DNS-M). 4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. Cherie Lane Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-05-147, ECF, PP September 18, 2006 Page 5 5. The current proposal is to divide the parcel into six lots and three tracts. Normally, a parcel divided into 9 lots (6 lots and 3 tracts) would be a short plat but the original proposal was to create a plat with more lots and so the application was originally a Preliminary Plat. The number oflots and tracts was reduced so the proposal is now a short plat. 6. The subject site is located northwest of the intersection of South 34th Place and Wells Avenue South. The subject site is divided by the unopened right-of-way of South 34th Street. 7. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of single-family uses, but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. 8. The subject site is currently zoned R-8 (Single Family - 8 dwelling units/acre). 9. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 4476 enacted in October 1994. 10. The subject site is approximately 2.84 acres of 123,708 square feet. The south parcel is approximately 509 feet long (east to west) and 100 feet wide. The north parcel is approximately 409 feet long (east to west) by 185 feet wide. They are separated by the 42-foot right-of-way of S 34th Street. 11. The parcel slopes down from approximately 220 feet in the east to approximately 190 feet in the west. 12. Wetlands exist on both the north parcel and the south parcel. One wetland straddles both parcels and is located in the eastern third of the parcels. The other wetland is predominantly located on the north parcel but its buffer would extend to the south parcel. The total wetland critical areas are 83,771 square feet. The applicant proposes buffer averaging to create buildable parcels in the south lot. The wetlands, buffers and enhanced buffers would be preserved by a Native Growth Protection Easement. 13. The tree inventory shows that there are 67 significant or protected trees on the site. Their removal will require a replacement of 17 trees meeting code standards. Trees in the wetland and wetland buffer area will be preserved. 14. The applicant will be dividing the subject site into six lot arrayed west to east along the north side of a cul-de-sac roadway, South 34th Place. At the westernmost edge will be a detention Tract for stormwater containment. Proposed Lot 6, at the eastern edge of the plat would be a comer lot and is sized to accommodate a larger streetside side yard. Staff has recommended that Proposed Lot 6 have its front yard facing south to match the remaining lots of the plat. 15. The wetland section that will be preserved in the southern parcel will be located between Proposed Lots 5 and 6. 16. As indicated above, the property is divided by an existing right-of-way that cuts through both wetland areas. Staff noted that this type of arrangement, a street cutting the wetlands would probably not be permitted under ordinary circumstances. The question of utility line location was an issue and whether it should run in this area or along the south in 34th Place. The Soos Creek Water and Sewer District will have to be consulted. Wells Avenue will provide access to and from the site leading to Talbot by east and west connectors north and south of the plat. 17. The density for the plat would be 6.54 dwelling units per acre after subtracting sensitive areas (wetland) and roadways. Cherie Lane Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-05-147, ECF, Pl September 18,2006 Page 6 18. The subject site is located within the Renton School District. The project is expected to generate approximately 2 or 3 school age children. These students would be spread across the grades and would be assigned on a space available basis. 19. The development will increase traffic approximately 10 trips per unit or approximately 60 trips for the 6 single-family homes. Approximately ten percent of the trips, or approximately 6 additional peak hour trips will be generated in the morning and evening. 20. Stormwater will be detained on a tract located at the western end of the plat. It was noted that no wetland recharge had occurred with some nearby developments. Clean water from this plat should be channeled to the wetlands. 21. As noted, sewer service will be provided by Soos Creek District. They will have to be consulted on how connections to their lines are made. 22. Water will be provided by the City. 23. The proposed plat and its new homes will make demands on the City's roads, parks and emergency services. The City has adopted mitigation fees for transportation improvements, fire services and parks and recreational needs based on an analysis of the needs and costs of providing those services. These fees are traditionally applied to new development to help offset the impacts new homes and residents have on the existing community and the additional demand for services. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The proposed plat, whether a short plat or preliminary plat, appears to serve the public use and interest. The plat will be protecting wetlands found on the site. It will intrude into what should ordinarily be wetland buffer areas but will compensate for those intrusions by enlarging the buffers in other areas. 2. The proposed lots are generally rectangular and all have direct access to a public street. Utility services can be provided to the site by both the City and the Soos Creek District. The applicant will be utilizing buffer averaging to create reasonable building lots. This does mean that homes will be closer to actual wetlands than would normally be considered appropriate but fencing should minimize intrusions into the sensitive wetlands. 3. The plat will provide additional housing opportunities for those seeking detached single-family living. The development of the plat will increase the tax base of the City and help offset some of the general impacts of new homes and residents on the City's infrastructure. 4. The development will increase, specifically increase the demands on the City's parks, roads and emergency services. The applicant shall, therefore, help offset those impacts by providing mitigation that matches the fees established by the City. 5. There is no reason to further damage either the wetlands or their buffers by allowing further utility digging, trenching or other intrusion. All utilities shall be from the south or east. 6. In conclusion, the plat appears reasonable and is approved subject to the conditions outlined below. Cherie Lane Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-05-147, ECF, PP September 18, 2006 Page 7 DECISION: The Short Plat is approved subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall submit a Final Wetland Mitigation Plan to demonstrate how the approved buffer averaging would be mitigated in areas abutting the wetland buffers. This Final Wetland Mitigation Plan shall include a restoration plan for the new waterline construction area. A monitoring program shall be required as required by Renton Municipal Code. The satisfaction of this requirement is subject to the review and approval of the Development Services Project Manager prior to recording the Final Plat. 2. Permanent buffer protection fencing, where wetland buffers abut the residential lots, in the form of a "split-rail" style wood fence shall be installed prior to final inspection. Rear yards of residential property abutting the wetland buffer should not be fenced with sight-obscuring fencing, but rather should utilize the split-rail fence. 3. A revised Conceptual Landscape Plan shall be submitted to the Development Services Project Manager for review and approval prior to Final Plat recording. 4. In order to avoid having the side yard (and possibly a fence) of Lot 6 along the access road of the plat (S. 34th Place) and to reduce curb cuts along Wells Ave S, Lot 6 shall front on and be accessed from S. 34th Place. 5. A Homeowners' Association (ROA) shall be created concurrently with the recording of the Final Plat in order to establish maintenance responsibilities for all shared improvements. The HOA shall be responsible for maintenance of the Native Growth Protection Area (easement), the stormwater detention tract, and any common areas created within the plat. A draft of the document shall be submitted to the City of Renton Development Services Division for review and approval by the City Attorney and Property Services section prior to recording of the Final Plat. 6. The applicant shall create a Native Growth Protection Easement for the areas identified as Wetland' A', Wetland 'C', their associated buffer areas, and new buffer areas created to compensate for buffer averaging. 7. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Traffic Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each new average daily trip associated with the project prior to the recording of the final plat. 8. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Fire Mitigation Fee based on a rate of $488.00 per new single- family lot prior to the recording of the final plat. 9. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per new single-family lot prior to the recording of the fmal plat. 10. The applicant shall obtain a revised Certificate of Sewer Availability from the Soos Creek Water & Sewer District indicating connection of side sewers for Lots 1 through 5 to a sewer line located in S. 34th Place and connection of side sewer for Lot 6 to a sewer line located in S. 34th Street. 11. All utility connections and new lines shall be installed along the south and east roadways adjacent to the plat.

Wetland Plan -It appears that the sidewalk has been constructed within the 25-foot wetland buffer. The applicant was advised in a letter dated April 18, 2007, that a variance was required in order to encroach in the wetland buffer within 25 feet of the wetland edge. This encroachment, without an approved variance, is a violation of City of Renton code. In the April 18, 2007 letter it was requested that the wetland report text be removed from the plan sheets. Has the report text been revised as requested in the April 18, 2007 letter and resubmitted? It does not appear to be with the submittal materials in the file. HEX Condition 2. Permanent buffer protection fencing -On the Final Wetland Mitigation Plan, the split rail fence is shown along the north property line parallel to the front property line on Lot 6. The fence line must follow the 25-foot buffer line, which angles into the property (see approved Preliminary Short Plat plan). Correct the plan to show the split rail fence along the 25 foot buffer line, not the property line. HEX Condition 3. Landscape Plan -Review of the landscape plan indicates the following: The split rail fence posts are specified on the landscape plan at 10' -0" on-center. The wetland mitigation plan recommends the fence posts be placed 8' -0" on-center. Correct the spacing shown on the landscape plan for the split rail fence posts to 8'-0" on- center. Select a replacement tree for Betula jacquemontii (birch), or provide evidence that it would be a suitable tree in this situation (street tree in proximity of utility lines). Unless a h:\division.s\develop.ser\dev&plan.ing\projects\2005 projects\05-147 .elizabeth\memorandum to carrie olson.doc Carrie Olson Page 2 of2 October 15, 2007 small-growing cultivar is recommended (has not been), the size of this tree (to 60 feet) would be excessive. Both mahonia aquifolium and nandina domestica would grow to heights, 6 feet and 4 feet respectively, that would block visibility for vehicles pulling out of driveways. This, in proximity to sidewalks, would a danger to public safety. Select plants for sight triangle that would not block visibility. Landscaping must be shown for the Detention Water Quality Vault tract, as per Renton Municipal Code 4-4-070, "Landscaping." All pervious areas of the property, including stormwater tracts, must be landscaped. Our concern with having just lawn over the vault, as is the current condition of the tract, is that it will become preponderantly weeds in the future and weed seeds will blow onto neighboring properties and the wetland, making maintenance difficult and compromise the efforts to enhance the wetland. The details for trees on the plan were printed over another part of the plant list, correct this on the revised plan. ERe Mitigation Measure 4: In addition to the 2 trees per lot (12 trees) shown on the landscape plan, an additional 17 trees are required as compensation for trees removed (ERC Mitigation Measure #4). These are additional trees to the "front trees" and the wetland mitigation requirements. Nine comus kousa trees are shown on the plan within the 5-foot parking strip. An additional 8 trees are required to be shown on the plan. h: \division. s\develop. ser\dev &plan. ing\projects\2005 proj ects\05 -147 .elizabeth \memorandum to carrie olson.doc DENSITY WORKSHEET City of Renton Development Services Division 1055 South Grady Way-Renton, WA 98055 Phone: 425-430-7200 Fax: 425-430-7231 1.

The applicant shall submit a Final Wetland Mitigation Plan to demonstrate how the approved buffer averaging would be mitigated in areas abutting the wetland buffers. This Final Wetland Mitigation Plan shall include a restoration plan for the new waterline construction area. A monitoring program shall be required as required by Renton Municipal Code. The satisfaction of this requirement is subject to the review and approval of the Development Services Project Manager prior to the Final Plat. This condition will be met by action taken by the developer. 2. Permanent buffer protection fencing, where wetland buffers abut the residential lots, in the form of a "split-rail" style wood fence shall be installed prior to final inspection. Rear yards of residential property abutting the wetland buffer should not be fenced with sight-obscuring fencing, but rather should utilize the split-rail fence. This condition will be met by action taken by the developer. 3. A revised Conceptual Landscape Plan shall be submitted to the Development Services Project Manager for review and approval prior to Final Plat recording. The landscape plans have been submitted with the first submittal of this Final Short Plat. 4. In order to avoid having the side yard (and possibly a fence) of Lot 6 along the access road of the plat (South 34th Place) and to reduce curb cuts along Wells Avenue South, Lot 6 shall front on and be accessed from South 34th Place. This has been noted within the restrictions on the Final Short Plat.

A Homeowners' Association (HOA) shall be created concurrently with the recording of the Final Plat in order to establish maintenance responsibilities for all shared improvements. The HOA shall be responsible for maintenance of the Native Growth Protection Area (easement), the stormwater detention tract, and any common areas created within the plat. A draft of the document shall be submitted to the City of Renton Development Services Division for review and approval by the City Attorney and Property Services section prior to recording of the Final Plat. The Certificate of Incorporation and the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (c. C. and R. 's) for the Homeowner's Association have been included with the first submittal of the Short Plat. 6. The applicant shall create a Native Growth Protection Easement for the areas identified as Wetland "A", Wetland "C", their associated buffer areas, and new buffer areas created to compensate for buffer averaging. The required Native Growth Protection Easements have been dedicated on the Final Short Plat. 7. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Traffic Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each new average daily trip associated with the project prior to the recording of the Final Plat. 8. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Fire Mitigation Fee based on a rate of $488.00 per new single-family lot prior to the recording of the Final Plat. 9.

There was a correction to the staff report, as of August 2006 the owner of the property is Amberwood LLC. The project is 2.84 acres which was originally submitted for a short plat and during the initial review it was determined that the number of tracts were too many and so it was moved up to the preliminary plat level and submitted as such. Originally there were nine lots, seven that fronted directly on S 34th Place and two other residential lots proposed to be accessed from an access easement off S 34th Place and crossing S 34th Street, an undeveloped right-of-way. There are wetlands on each side plus a stormwater tract. Currently, the plan is for 6 residential lots fronting off S 34th Place, one stormwater tract, a public right-of-way off S 34th Street, which is to rema' en a Native Growth Protection Area north of the public >nght-of-way. With these changes, . is now back to a Short Plat. The recommendations were changed and so were read into the record: 1. The applicant shall submit a Final Wetland Mitigation Plan to demonstrate how the approved buffer averaging would be mitigated in areas abutting the wetland buffers. This Final Wetland Mitigation Plan shall include a restoration plan for the new waterline construction area. A monitoring program shall be required as required by Renton Municipal Code. The satisfaction of this requirement is subject to the review and approval of the Development Services Project Manager prior to recording the Final Plat. 2. Permanent buffer protection fencing, where wetland buffers abut the residential lots, in the form of a "split-rail" style wood fence shall be installed prior to final inspection. Rear yards of residential property abutting the wetland buffer should not be fenced with sight-obscuring fencing, but rather should utilize the split-rail fence. 3. A revised Conceptual Landscape Plan shall be submitted to the Development Services Project Manager for review and approval prior to Final Plat recording. 4. In order to avoid having the side yard (and possibly a fence) of Lot 6 along the access road of the plat (S. 34th Place) and to reduce curb cuts along Wells Ave S, Lot 6 shall front on and be accessed from S. 34th Place. 5. A Homeowners' Association (HOA) shall be created concurrently with the recording of the Final Plat in order to establish maintenance responsibilities for all shared improvements. The HOA shall be responsible for maintenance of the Native Growth Protection Area (easement), the stormwater detention Cherie Lane Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-05-147, ECF, PP September 18, 2006 Page 3 tract, and any common areas created within the plat. A draft of the document shall be submitted to the City of Renton Development Services Division for review and approval by the City Attorney and Property Services section prior to recording of the Final Plat. 6. The applicant shall create a Native Growth Protection Easement for the areas identified as Wetland 'A', Wetland 'C', their associated buffer areas, and new buffer areas created to compensate for buffer averaging. 7. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Traffic Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each new average daily trip associated with the project prior to the recording of the final plat. 8. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Fire Mitigation Fee based on a rate of $488.00 per new single- family lot prior to the recording of the final plat. 9. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per new single-family lot prior to the recording of the final plat. 10. The applicant shall obtain a revised Certificate of Sewer Availability from the Soos Creek Water & Sewer District indicating connection of side sewers for Lots 1 through 5 to a sewer line located in S. 34th Place and connection of side sewer for Lot 6 to a sewer line located in S. 34th Street. The property is located in south Renton at the intersection of S 34di Place and Wells Avenue South. The Winsper development abutts to the north and Talbot Road S is over a slight distance to the west. The two parcels ofland are divided by the public right-of-way, S 34di Street, this would result in 6 lots. There are two large wetlands on the property as well as the wetland buffers. The parcel is located in the Residential - 8 Zone (R-8) and the Comprehensive Plan Designation is Residential -Single Family (RSF). The property is currently vacant. The plan does meet the requirements of the Community Design Element, Environmental Element, Housing and Land Use Elements. The wetlands have been detennined to be Category 2 with 50-foot wide buffers required. The applicant has requested buffer averaging and staffhas approved this request. Soos Creek Utilities has put sewer lines through the wetlands, a sanitary sewer line and a stonn line. The City of Renton is now telling the applicant that a waterline must be run from 34di Place up through one of the wetlands. Reconstruction is a condition of the plat. Staffhas asked that the planting plan be revised so all ofthe buffer averaged areas are included in the planting plan. The proposed short plat meets all the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan Criteria and Policies. There are no utility easements. A final landscape plan will be provided later in the process and will be looked at with the final plat. Two trees are required for each building lot, five feet of landscaping will be required along the public right-of-way, Wells Street and 34th Place. The boundaries are reasonable and the topography is a gentle slope, there are no steep slope issues on this property. The stonnwater plan is to utilize a vault in the tract. The vault may be part of the mitigation plan for the buffer averaging and will have to be addressed during the final mitigation plan. Soos Creek has provided a letter of availability for sewer service. They will provide service to the lots from the line in S 34di Street, which means that side sewers going through the wetlands and wetland buffers. The applicant, on the other hand, submitted a Cherie Lane Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-05-147, ECF, PP September 18, 2006 Page 4 utility plan showing Lot 6 accessing the line in S 34th Street outside the wetland buffer, but the other lots, 1-5 accessing the new line in S 34th Place. It is necessary to make sure that Soos Creek is in agreement with this plan. Brant Schweikl, 1945 S 375th Street, Federal Way, WA 98003 stated that he is the Civil Engineer for this project. The Stormwater report that was prepared actually addresses the 9-10t version. The vault that is shown is going to decrease in size. The plats located to the east have taken some ofthe recharge water that was originally reaching the wetlands, and has been piped through the existing S 34th Street right-of-way. That explains some of the reasons why the wetlands have changed. There was no recharge provided from the flows off the existing development. With the reconfiguration, previous Lots 7,8, and 9 were going to recharge the wetlands A and C. Due to conditions there, the only option is to take stormwater from Lot 6 into Wetland A for recharge. The vault itself will handle the impervious from the 6 lots minus the private access tract, which has been retracted from the final design. The sewers in S 34th Street are deep enough to service all the lots that was the original design. The City agreed with the design and no further development was required along S 34th Street. The initial intent was to stay out of the buffers, however S 34th Place is an accepted public right-of.:way, to actually get the utilities into the system it would be necessary to do six open cuts into the pavement, where if service is accessed onto the S 34th Street for sanitary service it would be are-vegetation ofthe wetlands. This appears to be the best access. None of the services go into the actual wetland itself, but stay in the buffer area. The old existing Lot 8 will be set aside in a wetland tract. Kayren Kittrick, Development Services stated that the sewers belong to Soos Creek, the City would prefer developing into S 34th Place for ease of maintenance, however, Soos Creek will make the final decision. The additional dedication on 6th is specifically because they are using that frontage that is being used and so additional work needs to be done. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 11 :08 am. FINDINGS. CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant, Brant A. Schweikl for Amberwood LLC, filed a request for a Preliminary Plat. 2. The yellow file containing the staff report, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A) documentation and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit #1. 3. The Environmental Review Committee (ERC), the City's responsible official issued a Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated (DNS-M). 4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. Cherie Lane Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-05-147, ECF, PP September 18, 2006 Page 5 5. The current proposal is to divide the parcel into six lots and three tracts. Normally, a parcel divided into 9 lots (6 lots and 3 tracts) would be a short plat but the original proposal was to create a plat with more lots and so the application was originally a Preliminary Plat. The number oflots and tracts was reduced so the proposal is now a short plat. 6. The subject site is located northwest of the intersection of South 34th Place and Wells Avenue South. The subject site is divided by the unopened right-of-way of South 34th Street. 7. The map element ofthe Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of single-family uses, but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. 8. The subject site is currently zoned R-8 (Single Family -8 dwelling units/acre). 9. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 4476 enacted in October 1994. 10. The subject site is approximately 2.84 acres of 123,708 square feet. The south parcel is approximately 509 feet long (east to west) and 100 feet wide. The north parcel is approximately 409 feet long (east to west) by 185 feet wide. They are separated by the 42-foot right-of-way ofS 34th Street. 11. The parcel slopes down from approximately 220 feet in the east to approximately 190 feet in the west. 12. Wetlands exist on both the north parcel and the south parcel. One wetland straddles both parcels and is located in the eastern third of the parcels. The other wetland is predominantly located on the north parcel but its buffer would extend to the south parcel. The total wetland critical areas are 83,771 square feet. The applicant proposes buffer averaging to create buildable parcels in the south lot. The wetlands, buffers and enhanced buffers would be preserved by a Native Growth Protection Easement. 13. The tree inventory shows that there are 67 significant or protected trees on the site. Their removal will require a replacement of 17 trees meeting code standards. Trees in the wetland and wetland buffer area will be preserved. 14. The applicant will be dividing the subject site into six lot arrayed west to east along the north side of a cul-de-sac roadway, South 34th Place. At the westernmost edge will be a detention Tract for stormwater containment. Proposed Lot 6, at the eastern edge of the plat would be a comer lot and is sized to accommodate a larger streets ide side yard. Staff has recommended that Proposed Lot 6 have its front yard facing south to match the remaining lots of the plat. 15. The wetland section that will be preserved in the southern parcel will be located between Proposed Lots 5 and 6. 16. As indicated above, the property is divided by an existing right-of-way that cuts through both wetland areas. Staff noted that this type of arrangement, a street cutting the wetlands would probably not be permitted under ordinary circumstances. The question of utility line location was an issue and whether it should run in this area or along the south in 34th Place. The Soos Creek Water and Sewer District will have to be consulted. Wells Avenue will provide access to and from the site leading to Talbot by east and west connectors north and south of the plat. 17. The density for the plat would be 6.54 dwelling units per acre after subtracting sensitive areas (wetland) and roadways. ( Cherie Lane Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-05-147, ECF, PP September 18, 2006 Page 6 18. The subject site is located within the Renton School District. The project is expected to generate approximately 2 or 3 school age children. These students would be spread across the grades and would be assigned on a space available basis. 19. The development will increase traffic approximately 10 trips per unit or approximately 60 trips for the 6 single-family homes. Approximately ten percent of the trips, or approximately 6 additional peak hour trips will be generated in the morning and evening. 20. Stormwater will be detained on a tract located at the western end of the plat. It was noted that no wetland recharge had occurred with some nearby developments. Clean water from this plat should be channeled to the wetlands. 21. As noted, sewer service will be provided by Soos Creek District. They will have to be consulted on how connections to their lines are made. 22. Water will be provided by the City. 23. The proposed plat and its new homes will make demands on the City's roads, parks and emergency services. The City has adopted mitigation fees for transportation improvements, fIre services and parks . and recreational needs based on an analysis of the needs and costs of providing those services. These fees are traditionally applied to new development to help offset the impacts new homes and residents have on the existing community and the additional demand for services. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The proposed plat, whether a short plat or preliminary plat, appears to serve the public use and interest. The plat will be protecting wetlands found on the site. It will intrude into what should ordinarily be wetland buffer areas but will compensate for those intrusions by enlarging the buffers in other areas. 2. The proposed lots are generally rectangular and all have direct access to a public street. Utility services can be provided to the site by both the City and the Soos Creek District. The applicant will be utilizing buffer averaging to create reasonable building lots. This does mean that homes will be closer to actual wetlands than would normally be considered appropriate but fencing should minimize intrusions into the sensitive wetlands. 3. The plat will provide additional housing opportunities for those seeking detached single-family living. The development of the plat will increase the tax base of the City and help offset some of the general impacts of new homes and residents on the City's infrastructure. 4. The development will increase, specifIcally increase the demands on the City's parks, roads and emergency services. The applicant shall, therefore, help offset those impacts by providing mitigation that matches the fees established by the City. 5. There is no reason to further damage either the wetlands or their buffers by allowing further utility digging, trenching or other intrusion. All utilities shall be from the south or east. 6. In conclusion, the plat appears reasonable and is approved subject to the conditions outlined below. Cherie Lane Preliminary PIa. File No.: LUA-05-I47, ECF, PP September 18, 2006 Page 7 DECISION: The Short Plat is approved subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall submit a Final Wetland Mitigation Plan to demonstrate how the approved buffer averaging would be mitigated in areas abutting the wetland buffers.

The location of the subject parcel is shown on the attached Vicinity Map (Figure 1). The purpose of our work was to identify the limits of the wetland areas on and immediately adjacent to the subject property. We have also reviewed Site Development plans prepared by In conducting our site wetland evaluation, we followed the general procedures for the routine on-site methodology as outlined in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (March 1~97). This procedure involves analysis of vegetation patterns, soil conditions, and near-surface hydrology in making a determination of wetland conditions. Our scope of work included site visits in April, 2005 to complete the wetland evaluation and flag the limits of the site wetlands and in October, 2005 to review site conditions for preparation of this report. We had also made a preliminary site visit in May, 2004. The flagged wetland points have been surveyed and plotted on project maps as shown on project design plans by Schweild and Associates, and on the Site Map (Figure 2). WETLAND EVALUATION PROCEDURES For the purpose of this study, we used the wetland definition adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers (COE) for administering Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. According to this definition, wetlands are: ''Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas." (33 CFR 323) 518 North 59th Street, Seattle, Washington 98103; 'Phone (206)783-1036 email aldernw@comcast.net , I ( W. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 In Washington State, the Shoreline Management Act and Growth Management Act have amended this definition to exclude some wetland situations by adding the following sentences to the wetland definition: Wetlands do not include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non-wetland sites, including but not limited to, irrigation and drainage ditches, grass-lined swales, canals, detention facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, farm ponds, and landscape amenities, or those wetlands created after July 1, 1990, that were intentionally created as a result of the construction of a road, street or Highway. Wetlands may include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non- wetland areas to mitigate the conversion of wetlands. Delineation procedures are based on diagnostic environmental indicators of wetland vegetation, wetland soils, and wetland hydrology. These procedures, outlined in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (March 1997) are commonly known as a Triple Parameter Method. By definition, an area is designated as wetland when there are positive indicators for all three parameters. A listing of plant species has been developed for use in the methodology for delineating wetland areas. This listing assigns plant species to one of five indicator status categories ranging from Obligate wetland species, which almost always occur in wetlands, to Upland species, which rarely occur in wetlands. Under normal conditions, hydrophytic vegetation is determined to be present if more than 50 percent of the dominant species are in the Obligate (OBL), Facultative Wetland (FACW), or Facultative (FAC) indicator categories. Diagnostic indicators of hydric soils are related to soil saturation, which leads to anaerobic conditions in the soil. Under these conditions, decomposition of organic material is inhibited and soil minerals are reduced, creating characteristic soil colors that can be quantified by comparison with Munsell Soil Color Charts. A chroma of one or less in unmottled soils or a chroma of two or less in mottled soils generally indicates a hydric soil. In addition, soils that are saturated during the growing season satisfy a criterion for hydric soils. We used a hand auger and or shovel to collect soil samples from depths of 8 to 18 inches, or below the A horizon. Wetland hydrology is defined as inundated or saturated soil conditions for at least 14 consecutive days during the growing season. If no water is present at the time of evaluation, other indicators may include topographic low points or channels, flood debris, complete absence of vegetation, or presence of hydric soils. GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS The subject property is an approximately 2.7 acre property located in the 3400 block of Wells Avenue South in the City of Renton, as shown on Figure 1. South 34th Street right-of-way runs through the middle of the property. At present the property is undeveloped. Adjacent properties to the east and north of the project are occupied by existing single family residences of the Winsper development. A new residential development, Cherie Lane is under construction on the property' to the south. /' The site is occupied by a mixed conifer-deciduous forest stand of composed of mostly deciduous trees. Oregon ash I (Fraxinus latifolia), red alder (Alnus rubra) black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), and big leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) are the common deciduous trees species on the property. Western red cedar (Thuja plicata) is the Project No. 20104 Page No. 2 .. Mi. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 common conifer tree present on the property. Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), snowberry (Symphoricarpos alba), hazelnut (Corylus cornuta), and Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor) are common shrub species present. There are existing sanitary sewer and storm drain pipes following the alignment of the South 34th Street alignment across the property. These pipe lines were installed sometime after 1996. Construction of the pipelines resulted in disturbance to the site in an approximately 30ft wide strip, in an east west orientation through the property. Soils across the property and on much of the surrounding area are mapped as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (Soil Survey of King County, Washington, U.S. Soil Conservation Service, 1973). The Alderwood series is made up of moderately well-drained soils that have a weakly to strongly consolidated substratum at depths of between 24 and 40 inches. The National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils does not list the Alderwood series as a hydric soil although wetland conditions are common in depressional areas within Alderwood soil units. There has been coal mining activity on properties to the south. There may have been some work related to the coal mining activity on the subject property. Surface soils at some locations on the property show evidence of the past activity, and include some coal mine tailings. Our site observations are not consistent with the Alderwood soil type descriptions. The past mining activity may explain the differences where present. Topographically, the property generally slopes down from about elev. 220 along the eastern property line to the low point of about elev. 182 on the southwest property comer. WETLAND AREAS We have identified the limits of three wetland areas on the property as shown on the Site Map (Figure 2). A previous study dated September 24, 1996, by B-twelve Associates, Inc. identified two wetland areas on the property. The configuration of the wetlands identified in their report is similar to that identified during the recent work. Over the nine years since their study was completed there has been considerable new development adjacent to the subject property and the construction of the sanitary sewer and storm drain pipe lines across the property. This work has app~rently affected surface and subsurface drainage patterns on the property, resulting in change in the wetland configuration. Wetland A with an area of approximately 6,230sq.ft. is located across the east end of the property. Wetland B is a small area near the south property line and west 'of the south end of Wetland A. Wetland C with an area of r ' I approximately 14,000sq.ft is the largest of the site wetlands. Each of the site w~ands is an isolated area with no defined surface inlet or outlet. Wetland A Wetland A is an isolated wetland l~ted on the east end of the property. Vegetation within the wetland includes an overstory black cottonwood and western red cedar. Understory shrub species include salmonberry, Himalayan blackberry, and red osier dogwood (Cornus stolonifera). Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), soft rush (Juncus effusus), and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) are'herbaceous species within the wetland. Using the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetland classification system (Cowardin et al., 1979), the wetland is designated as a palustrine forest wetland habitat. Project No. 20104 Page No. 3 • Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 Hydrologically this wetland is supported by seepage into the northeast end of the area. At the ti,me of observations in April, 2005, there was-surface drainage entering the wetland from the existing development to/the east. This surface water moved south through the wetland and dissipated over the south end of the area. \ JUs our interpretation tfat, the wetland would satisfy the criteria for designation as a City of Renton Category 2 /". • . t I' " wetland. Th~ standard buffer for a category 2 wetland in the City of Renton is 50ft. "" Wetland B Wetland B is a very small isolated wetland ofless than 1,000sq.ft, located along the south property line. It is situated within a shallow depression with no defined inlet or outlet. Duritig an initial site visit in April, 2005, soils within the wetland were saturated to near the surface although there was no standing surface water present. Vegetation within the wetland includes black cottonwood and Oregon ash forming a canopy over the wetland, with red osier dogwood and Himalayan blackberry as shrub cover. Herbaceous species present include reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) and other grasses, soft rush (Juncus effosus), and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens). It is our interpretation that the wetland would satisfy the criteria for designation as a City of Renton Category 3 wetland. As a small ~solated wetland of less than ~OOsq.ft. the area can be filled, if mitigation is provided. Mitigation can be provided with storm water treatment and ~andscaping. \.. / Mitigation for filling Wetland B is "being partially pr~vided by the storm water treatment system for the project. Additional mitigation for the habitat area of the wetland and buffer is being provided in the buffer averaging design whereby an additional approximately 2,457sq.ft of upland habitat area is being set aside form development beyond that which would be provided with the uniform 50ft buffer. Wetland C Wetland C is the largest of the site wetlands, having an area of approximately 14,000sq.ft. It is located on the northwest corner of the property. Vegetation within the wetland includes Oregon ash, black cottonwood and some western red cedar (Thuja plicata) trees. Understory shrub vegetation includes Himalayan blackberry, snowberry and, salmonberry. Herbaceous vegetation includes, reed canary grass soft rush. Using the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetland classification system (Cowardin et al., 1979), the wetland is designated as a palustrine forest wetland habitat. Hydrologically, the area is supported by groundwater seepage. The interior topography is somewhat hummocky, creating scattered low areas. At the time of our observations in April, 2005, there was shallow surface water in isolated depressions. There is no defined surface inlet or outlet for the wetland. It is our interpretation that the wetland would satisfy the criteria for designation as a City of Renton Category 2 wetland. The standard buffer for a category 2 wetland in the City of Renton is 50ft. Project No. 20104 Page No. 4 , Mr-. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 Previous Wetland Study There have been two previous wetland studies addressing wetlands on the Cherie Lane North project and in the immediate vicinity. These include a study by B-12 Associates, Inc. dated September 24, 1996, which included the subject property and' a study by AlderNW dated November 13, 2003, for the Cherie Lane I project immediately to the south. Field work fotthe B-12 project was completed in April, 1996, and field work for the Cherie Lane project to the south was compfetixi in April and October, 2003. Field work for the Cherie Lane North project was completed in April and October of 2004. The wetland limits as identified by these studies are illustrated on Figure 4 (Wetland Limits). As illustrated on Figure 3, the wetland limits on the Cherie Lane North property have undergone changes since the original was co~leted by B-12 Associates in the spring of 1996. Seven years elapsed after the B-12 Associates work before the Cherie Lane field work was conducted, and eight years elapsed before the Cherie Lane North field work was completed. Over that time period there have been significant changes affecting site drainage patterns within the property boundaries and on the adjacent properties. The identified wetlands are supported in large part by near surface groundwater seepage with some contribution from surface water flows. Soils within the wetlands are typically a clay loam which is relatively impermeable. Wetland hydrology in the site wetlands can be characterized as near surface groundwater seepage and surface water movement into the upslope side of the wetland where it flows across the relatively impermeable soils. Surface water in the wetland dissipates through evapotranspiration and slow infiltration. Surface water is retained within the wetland in shallow depressions. As noted in the B-12 report, the subject property and wetlands had been subject to disturbance from past coal mine activities. This was also noted in th~ wetland report for the C_herie Lane project to the south. With this history of site disturbance, near surface hydrology and drainage patterns across the site have been undergoing change. Drainage patterns had been altered on the Cherie Lane property and on the Cherie Lane North property by construction of roads and activities related to the past mining. Since the B-12 Associates field work Was completed, there have been continuing alterations to the site and upslope areas. Immediately to the east of the subject property, new homes have been constructed. This work involved grading to create building pads and installation of drain lines around the homes. In addition, the sanitary sewer and storm drain line have been constructed along the unconstructed South 34th Street alignment running from east to west across the property. These construction activities on and adjacent to the property will have the effect of changing drainage patterns onto and across the property. The level of groundwater reaching the site wetlands likely has been reduced. A typical effect of the construction of ditch lines for sanitary sewers and storm drains is to create subsurface drainage patterns along the bottom of the ditches, and to limit the movement of groundwater laterally across the ditch line. This would have the effect of reducing groundwater support to the site wetlands. With surface water being collected in the storm water treatment system., the level of surface water reaching site wetlands is likewise alt~!ed. Surface water runoff reaching the site is affected in terms of the location of discharge and in terms of the timing of discharges. Project No. 20104 Page No.5 , , Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 The stud)! completed for the Cherie Lane project to the south did not identify wetlands extending northward from the Cherie Lane project onto the Cherie Lane North property. South 34th Place has recently been constructed along the north property line for the Cherie Lane project (off the south property line of Cherie Lane North). Wetlands in general and in particular wetlands within developing urban landscapes are dynamic systems. It should be expected that changes in wetland size and position can and will occur over a seven year period. The general pattern of the site wetlands is similar between the 1996 study and the current study for Cherie lane North, although the extent of the wetlands is reduced. The extent Wetlands A and C on Cherie Lane North is consistent with the Cherie Lane study. WILDLIFE HABITAT We have completed a wildlife and habitat evaluation of the project area, The purpose of our work was to document the existing site conditions to identify habitats and potential wildlife use of the property. This work was undertaken to determine if there are critical habitats on the property which would be subject to regulation under Renton City Code which identifies critical habitats as: ":those habitat areas which meet any of the following criteria: i. The documented presence of species proposed or listed by the federal government or State of Washington as endangered, threatened, sensitive, monitor, or priority; and/or ii. The presence of heron rookeries or raptor nesting areas; and/or iii. Category 1 wetlands (refer to subsection B7b(i) of this Section for classification criteria); and/or iv. Portions of streams and their shorelines designated in the Renton Shoreline Master Program, RMC 4-3-090, as Conservancy or Natural (refer to the Renton Shoreline Master Program). c. Mapping: i. Critical habitats are identified by lists, categories and definitions of species promulgated by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (Non-game Data System Special Animal Species) as identified in WAC 232-12-011; in the Priority Habitat and Species Program of the Washington State Department ofFish and Wildlife; or by rules and regulations adopted currently or hereafter by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. ii. Referenced inventories and maps are to be used as guides to the general location and extent of critical habitat. Critical habitat which is identified in subsection B5b of this Section, but not shown on the referenced inventories and maps, are presumed to exist in the City and are also protected under all the provisions of this section. iii. The actual presence or absence of the criteria listed above as determined by qualified (> professionals, shall govern the treatment of an individual building site or parcel of land requiring compliance with these regulations." During the course of site visits to complete the wetland site evaluation we also made notes regarding observation of wildlife species observed on the site. Project No. 20104 Page No. 6 , , Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 The subject property is occupied by one general vegetation cover type. Lowland mixed forest is the predominant vegetation cover type across the property. This cover type is based on the habitat categories listed in the King County Wildlife Study Guidelines for SEPA (1993). Similar categories are listed and described in the King County Wildlife Habitat Profile (1987). The majority of the property is occupied by second or third growth mixed forest with variation m the relative cover by conifers and deciduous trees. The forest cover on the southern portion of the property is generally dominated by deciduous trees primarily black cottonwood and Oregon ash.. On the northern section of the property trees present include western red cedar. Wildlife We have prepared a listing of wildlife species (Table 1) observed or likely to be present on the property. This listing is based on species occurrences noted in King County Wildlife Habitat Profile (1987) and on personal experience. Amphibians and Reptiles Other than the Pacific chorus frog (Pseudacris regilla), no amphibians were observed during our site visits. These species are generally inactive during fall and winter and are most frequently encountered during spring and summer. The cover types on this property, particularly the forested wetland and adjacent second-growth forest, should provide habitat for several other species of amphibians. The most likely species are the northwestern salamander (Ambystoma gracile) and long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum). The presence of amphibians on the site is limited by the absence of areas of standing water which might provide breeding habitat for amphibians. The most likely reptiles to be found in the habitats available on this property are the northern alligator lizard (Elgaria coerulea) and garter snakes (Thamnophis spp.). Table 1 lists other amphibians and reptiles that could be expected in the habitats present on this site. The species listed in Table 1 are based on tables provided by King County (1987) for the habitats described above and on our evaluation of the existing site conditions. Birds Because of their high levels of daytime activity and vocalizations, birds are the most commonly encountered group of vertebrates. Some of the commonly observed species on the site were the black-capped chickadee (Parus atricappilus), American robin (Turdus migratorius), winter wren (Troglodytes troglodytes), and song sparrow (Melospiza melodia). A large number of migratory songbirds including flycatchers, warblers, and vireos are expected on this site during the breeding season. The most likely raptors to use this site are the great homed owl (Bubo virginianus), Cooper's hawk (ACCipiter cooperi), and red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis). Table 1 lists other bird species expected in the habitats available on this property. Mammals Most mammals. tend to be secretive and nocturnal, and our observations reflect a relatively small proportion of species that may actually exist on the subject property. We observed coyote (Canis latrans) scat on trails around the Project No. 20104 Page No. 7 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 property. A large nest, probably built by an eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), was located in the deciduous forest near the north side of the property. Other common mammals that are likely to be present on the site include opossum (Didelphis virginiana), deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), and raccoon (Procyon lotor). Several species of bats are also likely to be present in these habitats during the summer. Table 1 lists other mammal species expected to occur in the habitats available on this site. Threatened, Endangered, or Sensitive (TES) Species Critical Habit Two wildlife species included on 'Yashington State listings ofTES could be found on or in the vicinity of the subject property. These include the Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), and pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus). Neither of these species is listed as threatened in the state of Washington. The closest aquatic habitat which might support either bull trout or Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), is in May Creek approximately 2 miles north of the property. Honey Creek where it is present within the wetland along the east side of the project does not include habitat for either Chinook salmon or bull trout. Bald eagles are found throughout the Puget Sound region. They are most commonly observed along lake or river shores although they may be found foraging over a large area and may roost in larger trees away from bodies of water. No bald eagles were observe on or near the project site. The project site is away from any large bodies of water where they would be likely to build nests. Pileated woodpeckers generally inhabit mature and old-growth forests, or second-growth forests with sufficient large snags and fallen trees (Rodrick and Milner 1991). Pileated woodpeckers are also reported to use open woodlands, parks, and wooded suburbs (Ehrlich et al. 1988) and are regularly seen in those habitats in King County. They excavate cavities in snags or large dead branches for nesting and usually make a new nest cavity every year. Nest snags are usually greater than 27 inches in diameter and taller than 87 feet. There are few large snags within the subject property which could be used by pileated woodpecker. During our site visits we did not note the presence of any individuals nor did we note any trees with characteristic pileated woodpecker foraging cavities. There is not extensive habitat area on the property or in the near vicinity which is suitable for pileated woodpecker foraging. Great blue herons are not included on the Washington State TES lists although the presence of heron rookeries is identified as a critical habitat in the City of Renton. No great blue herons were observed on the site during our site visits and there are no 'heron rookeri~s in the near vicinity of the project site. Herons are not likely to use the residential habitats on the property and in the near vicinity Red-tailed hawks are likewise not included on the Washington State TES lists although raptor nests are identified as critical habitat in the City of Renton. No red-tailed hawks were observed on or in the near vicinity of the property. Based on our review of existing site conditions it is our conclusion that there are no critical habitat areas as defined in . the City of Renton codes, within or in near proximity to the Cherie Lane North project boundary. Project No. 20104 Page No. 8 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT -WETLAND IMPACTS It is proposed to develop the 2.7 acre property for construction of a 9 lot residential development as shown on project maps by Schweikl and Associates and on the Site Map (Figure 2). Access to the project will be provided from South 34th Place which has been partially completed as part of the Cherie Lane project along the south property line. With the exception of the small isolated Wetland B, the site wetlands will be set aside from development within designated Wetland Tracts. As designed, the project will not result in direct impacts to the preserved site wetlands. The tracts include the wetland areas with a minimum 25ft wide buffer, in accordance with provisions of the Renton City Code which allow buffer averaging. ' Buffer Width Averaging Buffer width ~veraging may be allowed in accordance with RMC where the following steps are taken: " " 1. That the wetland contains v~riations in ecologi9al sensitivity or there are existing physical improvements in or near the wetland and buffer; and II. That width averaging will not adversely impact the wetland function and values; and iii. That the total area contained within the wetland buffer after averaging is no less than that contained within the required standard buffer prior to averaging; and iv. A site specific evaluation and documentation of buffer adequacy based upon The Science of Wetland Buffers and Its Implications for the Management of Wetlands, McMillan 2000, or similar approaches have been conducted. The proposed buffer standard is based on consideration of the best available science as described in WAC 365-195-905; or where there (~aD aDsen~ of valid scientific information, the steps in RMC 4-9- 250F are followed. '~ , v. In no instance shall the buffer width be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) of the standard buffer or be less than twenty five feet (25ft) wide. Greater buffer width reductions require review as a variance per subsection N3 of this Section and RMC 4-9-250B; and VI. Buffer enhancement in the areas where the buffer is reduced shall be required on a case-by-case basis where appropriate to site conditions, wetland sensitivity, and proposed land development characteristics. VII. Notification may be required pursuant to subsection F8 of this Section. Wetland bufers are vegetated upland areas adjacent to and generally surrounding wetlands. As such buffers are they provide beneficial functions within the urbanizing landscape in their realtionship to the the wetland and as upland habitat area. They provide beneficial functrions as an element ,of the preserved wetland and as preserved upland habitat. Project No. 20104 Page No. 9 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 Buffer averaging element (i.) Buffer averaging is beiDg applied to Wetlands A and C. Both of these wetlands have been affected by past activities on and adjacent to the property. These include construction of the water and sanitary sewer lines across the property, construction of the existing residential developm~ts to the north and south, and the development under construction to the south. These activities have involved clearing and grading activity within the wetlands and the buffers for the two wetland~. This past activity has affected the majority of the buffer area surrounding the site wetlands. The one section of the buffer which was minimally affected is on the north end of Wetland A which remains forested. This area is being preserved and expanded with the buffer averaging. Buffer averaging elements (ii, iii iv, v and Vi) , Buffers as an integral unit of the wetland system in urban environment in providing protection to the wetland habitat, and in providing. what have been identified as "sink" and "source" functions. They act to provide protection to the wetland in the form of generating a physical.parrier between human activity and the wetland. "Sink" functions are those that in effect absorb impacts before reaching the wetland. They serve to moderate water level flu~tions in the wetland; they to .mediate chemical and physical impacts to the wetland from erosion, movement of sediments and pollutant into the wetland; and to moderate temperatue in the wetland. "Source" functions include the roles served to the wetland system to support wildlife habitat, provide biotic input to the wetland system, and for their role in mediating effects of human disturbance to wetland associated wildlife. These "sink" and "source" functions are related to the vegetative cover on the buffer, the total area of buffer habitat included, the width of the buffer, surrounding topography, and the level of development within the surrounding urban landscape. Existing residential development activity on and immediately adjacent to the subject property have affected the effectiveness of the wetland buffers. The buffer width has been reduced along the northeast comer of Wetland A. Construction of the waeter and sanitary sewer lines across the property have affected soil conditions and vegetative cover within a portion of Wetland A and the buffer for Wetland C. Additionally the site had been partially cleared in the past, reducing the forest canopy cover allowing the establishment of non native species incliding Himalayan blackberry and reed canarygrass. With buffer avaraging as being proposed for this ·project there will be no loss in total wetland buffer area maintained within the project. There will be a net increase in the total buffer area which would be provided with a uniform 50ft buffer, of approximaely 2,457sq.ft. With the provision of a somewhat larger habitat area being provided wihtin the two Wetland Tracts, there will be no significant reduction in the "source" buffer function. The preserved buffers can effectively provide roles in maintaining wildlife habitat, and in providing biological support by way of maintaining input of nutrients and organic matter into the sytem. Project No. 20104 Page No. 10 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 This function within the developed project can be maintained and enhanced with the implementation of buffer enhancement plantings as proposed for the project. As the vegetative cover on the buffer grows and matures the effectiveness in providing -a physical barrier will be increased. This function can be further enhanced by the installation of fencing to limit encroachment into the designated wetland tracts. "Sink" functions to protect the wetland will be maintained in part by design of the storm water treatment system. This system can control the movement of stormwater into and through the wetland to minimize impacts on wetland hydrology. This system will likewise limit the movement of untreated run offinto the wetlands. The proposed buffer averaging including enhancement plantings within the buffer can maintain a level of wetland and buffer function comparable to that which would be provided if a uniform 50ft buffer were provided within the residential development. New Water Line Construction A new water line is proposed-to be constructed across the west side of the property. This water line is being .......... ( constructed to satisfy water serVice reqUirements for' this property and other residential developments in the area. Construction of the water line will--mvolve teinPorary disturbance to approximately 3,030sq.ft. of the buffer for Wetland B. r - A vegetation restoration planting plan ~'l be prepared when construction design plans are finalized for the project. --, This planting plan will Include details on the number, spacing and species to be placed on the disturbed soils within the water line easement area. All'plant materials to be )ncluded in the planting plan will be native to the area, and to ,,-the extent possible species selected will be those native species present on the property. Native trees and shrubs will be included. These plantings are intended to supplement natural regeneration and to accelerate the establishment of native shrub cover on the disturbed area. With the implementation of a restoration plan, the impacts from construction of the water line on the wetland buffer can be minimized to the-extent possibl~ and the disturbed areas returned to a stable condition, with native vegetative cover. A final restoration plan will be prepar¢ and submitted for review as final development plans are prepared. The restoration plan will'be implemented with the buffer enhancement plantings. Buffer Mitigation/Enhancement Planting Plan We have prepa~ed a conceptual buffe~ mitigation/enhancement plan for the project. The general design intent of this plan is to increase the density of native trees and sllrubs within the preserved buffer and to control the growth of non native invasive species includin~Himalayan blackberry, and reed canarygrass, among others included on the DOE listing of invasive species. Project No. 20104 Page No. 11 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 This conceptual plan is prepared to demonstrate the feasibility of construction the project to meet City of Renton requirements for preserving wetland and. buffer function. A final plan will be prepared as final construction design plans are completed. The wetlandlbuffer enhancement plan involves four objectives: l. Control the growth of invasive plants, including Himalayan blackberry and Scot's broom (Cytisus scoparius) and others as included on the DOE listing of non native invasive species. 2. Increase the overall cover of native trees and shrubs. 3. Increase the native plant species diversity. 4. Restore the area affected by water line construction. As final project design plans are prepared a final mitigation plan will be prepared. This plan will include details as required by the City of Newcastle. o Construction plan o Planting plan showing details of plant numbers, species and spacing o Monitoring methodology. Monitoring will be carried out over a period of five years following completion of the work o Standards of success for evaluating the success of the project in meeting project goals and objectives o Contingency plan We trust the information presented is sufficient for your current needs.

File No.: LUA 05-147, ECF, PP September 18,2006 Northwest quadrant of S 34th Place and Wells Ave S Approval for a subdivision of two parcels of land totaling 2.84 acres into 6 lots suitable for single-family residential development. Development Services Recommendation: Approve subject to conditions DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT: The Development Services Report was received by the Examiner on August 29,2006. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Development Services Report, examining available infonnation on file with the application, field checking the property and surrounding area; the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: MINUTES The following minutes are a summary of the September 5, 2006 hearing. The legal record is recorded on CD. The hearing opened on Tuesday, September 5, 2006, at approximately 10:20 a.m. in the Council Chambers on the seventh floor of the Renton City Hall. Parties wishing to testify were affinned by the Examiner. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit No.1: Yellow file containing the original Exhibit No.2: Vicinity Map application, proof of posting, proof of publication and other documentation pertinent to this request.

There was a correction to the staff report, as of August 2006 the owner of the property is Amberwood LLC. The project is 2.84 acres which was originally submitted for a short plat and during the initial review it was determined that the number of tracts were too many and so it was moved up to the preliminary plat level and submitted as such. Originally there were nine lots, seven that fronted directly on S 34th Place and two other residential lots proposed to be accessed from an access easement off S 34th Place and crossing S 34th Street, an undeveloped right-of-way. There are wetlands on each side plus a stormwater tract. Currently, the plan is for 6 residential lots fronting off S 34th Place, one stormwater tract, a public right-of-way off S 34th Street, which is to remain undeveloped, and then a Native Growth Protection Area north of the public right-of-way. With these changes, it is now back to a Short Plat. The recommendations were changed and so were read into the record: 1. The applicant shall submit a Final Wetland Mitigation Plan to demonstrate how the approved buffer averaging would be mitigated in areas abutting the wetland buffers. This Final Wetland Mitigation Plan shall include a restoration plan for the new waterline construction area. A monitoring program shall be required as required by Renton Municipal Code. The satisfaction of this requirement is subject to the review and approval of the Development Services Project Manager prior to recording the Final Plat. 2. Permanent buffer protection fencing, where wetland buffers abut the residential lots, in the form of a "split-rail" style wood fence shall be installed prior to final inspection. Rear yards of residential property abutting the wetland buffer should not be fenced with sight-obscuring fencing, but rather should utilize the split-rail fence. . 3. A revised Conceptual Landscape Plan shall be submitted to the Development Services Project Manager for review and approval prior to Final Plat recording. 4. In order to avoid having the side yard (and possibly a fence) of Lot 6 along the access road of the plat (S. 34th Place) and to reduce curb cuts along Wells Ave S, Lot 6 shall front on and be accessed from S. 34th Place. 5. A Homeowners' Association (HOA) shall be created concurrently with the recording ofthe Final Plat in order to establish maintenance responsibilities for all shared improvements. The HOA shall be responsible for maintenance of the Native Growth Protection Area (easement), the stormwater detention Cherie Lane Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-05-147, ECF, PP September 18, 2006 Page 3 tract, and any common areas created within the plat. A draft of the document shall be submitted to the City of Renton Development Services Division for review and approval by the City Attorney and Proper!Y Services section prior to recording of the Final Plat. 6 .. The applicant shall create a Native Growth Protection Easement for the areas identified as Wetland' A' , Wetland 'C', their associated buffer areas, and new buffer areas created to compensate for buffer averaging. 7. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Traffic Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each new average daily trip associated with the project prior to the recording of the final plat. 8. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Fire Mitigation Fee based on a rate of $488.00 per new single- family lot prior to the recording of the final plat. 9. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per new single-family lot prior to the recording of the final plat. 10. The applicant shall obtain a revised Certificate of Sewer Availability from the Soos Creek Water & Sewer District indicating connection of side sewers for Lots 1 through 5 to a sewer line located in S. 34th Place and connection of side sewer for Lot 6 to a sewer line located in S. 34th Street. The property is located in south Renton at the intersection of S 34th Place and Wells Avenue South. The Winsper development abutts to the north and Talbot Road S is over a slight distance to the west. The two parcels ofland are divided by the public right-of-way, S 34th Street, this would result in 6 lots. There are two large wetlands on the property as well as the wetland buffers. The parcel is located in the Residential - 8 Zone (R-8) and the Comprehensive Plan Designation is Residential-Single Family (RSF). The property is currently vacant. The plan does meet the requirements of the Community Design Element, Environmental Element, Housing and Land Use Elements. The wetlands have been determined to be Category 2 with 50-foot wide buffers required. The applicant has requested buffer averaging and staff has approved this request. Soos Creek Utilities has put sewer lines through the wetlands, a sanitary sewer line and a storm line. The City of Renton is now telling the applicant that a waterline must be run from 34th Place up through one of the wetlands. Reconstruction is a condition of the plat. Staff has asked that the planting plan be revised so all of the buffer averaged areas are included in the planting plan. The proposed short plat meets all the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan Criteria and Policies. There are no utility easements. A final landscape plan will be provided later in the process and will be looked at with the final plat. Two trees are required for each building lot, five feet of landscaping will be required along the public right-of-way, Wells Street and 34th Place. The boundaries are reasonable and the topography is a gentle slope, there are no steep slope issues on this property. The stormwater plan is to utilize a vault in the tract. The vault may be part of the mitigation plan for the buffer averaging and will have to be addressed during the final mitigation plan. Soos Creek has provided a letter of availability for sewer service. They will provide service to the lots from the line in S 34th Street, which means that side sewers going through the wetlands and wetland buffers. The applicant, on the other hand, submitted a Cherie Lane Preliminary Plat ~ File No.: LUA-05-147, ECF, PP September 18, 2006 Page 4 utility plan showing Lot 6 accessing the line in S 34th Street outside the wetland buffer, but the other lots, 1-5 accessing the new line in S 34th Place. It is necessary to make sure that Soos Creek is in agreement with this plan. Brant Schweikl, 1945 S 375th Street, Federal Way, WA 98003 stated that he is the Civil Engineer for this project. The Stormwater report that was prepared actually addresses the 9-10t version. The vault that is shown is going to decrease in size. The plats located to the east have taken some of the recharge water that was originally reaching the wetlands, and has been piped through the existing S 34th Street right-of-way. That explains some of the reasons why the wetlands have changed. There was no recharge provided from the flows off the existing development. With the reconfiguration, previous Lots 7,8, and 9 were going to recharge the wetlands A and C. Due to conditions there, the only option is to take stormwater from Lot 6 into Wetland A for recharge. The vault itself will handle the impervious from the 6 lots minus the private access tract, which has been retracted from the final design. The sewers in S 34th Street are deep enough to service all the lots that was the original design. The City agreed with the design and no further development was required along S 34th Street. The initial intent was to stay out of the buffers, however S 34th Place is an accepted public right-of-way, to actually get the utilities into the system it would be necessary to do six open cuts into the pavement, where if service is accessed onto the S 34th Street for sanitary service it would be are-vegetation of the wetlands. This appears to be the best access. None of the services go into the actual wetland itself, but stay in the buffer area. The old existing Lot 8 will be set aside in a wetland tract. Kayren Kittrick, Development Services stated that the sewers belong to Soos Creek, the City would prefer developing into S 34th Place for ease of maintenance, however, Soos Creek will make the final decision. The additional dedication on 6th is specifically because they are using that frontage that is being used and so additional work needs to be done. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 11 :08 am. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant, Brant A. Schweikl for Amberwood LLC, filed a request for a Preliminary Plat. 2. The yellow file containing the staff report, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) documentation and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit #1. 3. The Environmental Review Committee (ERC), the City's responsible official issued a Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated (DNS-M). 4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. Cherie Lane Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-05-147, ECF, PP September 18, 2006 Page 5 5. The current proposal is to divide the parcel into six lots and three tracts. Normally, a parcel divided into 9 lots (6 lots and 3 tracts) would be a short plat but the original proposal was to create a plat with more lots and so the application was originally a Preliminary Plat. The number oflots and tracts was reduced so the proposal is now a short plat. 6. The subject site is located northwest of the intersection of South 34th Place and Wells Avenue South. The subject site is divided by the unopened right-of-way of South 34th Street. 7. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of single-family uses, but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. 8. The subject site is currently zoned R-8 (Single Family - 8 dwelling units/acre). 9. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 4476 enacted in October 1994. 10. The subject site is approximately 2.84 acres of 123,708 square feet. The south parcel is approximately 509 feet long (east to west) and 100 feet wide. The north parcel is approximately 409 feet long (east to west) by 185 feet wide. They are separated by the 42-foot right-of-way of S 34th Street. 11. The parcel slopes down from approximately 220 feet in the east to approximately 190 feet in the west. 12. Wetlands exist on both the north parcel and the south parcel. One wetland straddles both parcels and is located in the eastern third of the parcels. The other wetland is predominantly located on the north parcel but its buffer would extend to the south parcel. The total wetland critical areas are 83,771 square feet. The applicant proposes buffer averaging to create buildable parcels in the south lot. The wetlands, buffers and enhanced buffers would be preserved by a Native Growth Protection Easement. 13. The tree inventory shows that there are 67 significant or protected trees on the site. Their removal will require a replacement of 17 trees meeting code standards. Trees in the wetland and wetland buffer area will be preserved. 14. The applicant will be dividing the subject site into six lot arrayed west to east along the north side of a cul-de-sac roadway, South 34th Place. At the westernmost edge will be a detention Tract for stormwater containment. Proposed Lot 6, at the eastern edge of the plat would be a comer lot and is sized to accommodate a larger streetside side yard. Staff has recommended that Proposed Lot 6 have its front yard facing south to match the remaining lots of the plat. 15. The wetland section that will be preserved in the southern parcel will be located between Proposed Lots 5 and 6. 16. As indicated above, the property is divided by an existing right-of-way that cuts through both wetland areas. Staff noted that this type of arrangement, a street cutting the wetlands would probably not be permitted under ordinary circumstances. The question of utility line location was an issue and whether it should run in this area or along the south in 34th Place. The Soos Creek Water and Sewer District will have to be consulted. Wells Avenue will provide access to and from the site leading to Talbot by east and west connectors north and south of the plat. 17. The density for the plat would be 6.54 dwelling units per acre after subtracting sensitive areas (wetland) and roadways. Cherie Lane Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-05-147, ECF, PP September 18, 2006 Page 6 18. The subject site is located within the Renton School District. The project is expected to generate approximately 2 or 3 school age children. These students would be spread across the grades and would be assigned on a space available basis. 19. The development will increase traffic approximately 10 trips per unit or approximately 60 trips for the 6 single-family homes. Approximately ten percent of the trips, or approximately 6 additional peak hour trips will be generated in the morning and evening. 20. Stormwater will be detained on a tract located at the western end of the plat. It was noted that no wetland recharge had occurred with some nearby developments. Clean water from this plat should be channeled to the wetlands. . 21. As noted, sewer service will be provided by Soos Creek District. They will have to be consulted on how connections to their lines are made. 22. Water will be provided by the City. 23. The proposed plat and its new homes will make demands on the City's roads, parks and emergency services. The City has adopted mitigation fees for transportation improvements, fire services and parks and recreational needs based on an analysis of the needs and costs of providing those services. These fees are traditionally applied to new development to help offset the impacts new homes and residents have on the existing community and the additional demand for services. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The proposed plat, whether a short plat or preliminary plat, appears to serve the public use and interest. The plat will be protecting wetlands found on the site. It will intrude into what should ordinarily be wetland buffer areas but will compensate for those intrusions by enlarging the buffers in other areas. 2. The proposed lots are generally rectangular and all have direct access to a public street. Utility services can be provided to the site by both the City and the Soos Creek District. The applicant will be utilizing buffer averaging to create reasonable building lots. This does mean that homes will be closer to actual wetlands than would normally be considered appropriate but fencing should minimize intrusions into the sensitive wetlands. 3. The plat will provide additional housing opportunities for those seeking detached single-family living. The development of the plat will increase the tax base of the City and help offset some of the general impacts of new homes and residents on the City's infrastructure. 4. The development will increase, specifically increase the demands on the City's parks, roads and emergency services. The applicant shall, therefore, help offset those impacts by providing mitigation that matches the fees established by the City. 5. There is no reason to further damage either the wetlands or their buffers by allowing further utility digging, trenching or other intrusion. All utilities shall be from the south or east. 6. In conclusion, the plat appears reasonable and is approved subject to the conditions outlined below. Cherie Lane Preliminary Plat • File No.: LUA-05-147, ECF, PP September 18, 2006 Page 7 DECISION: The Short Plat is approved subject to the following conditions: 1.

The applicant shall pay the appropriate Traffic Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each new average daily trip associated with the project prior to the recording of the final plat. 8. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Fire Mitigation Fee based on a rate of $488.00 per new single- family lot prior to the recording of the final plat. 9. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per new single-family lot prior to the recording of the final plat. 10. The applicant shall obtain a revised Certificate of Sewer Availability from the Soos Creek Water & Sewer District indicating connection of side sewers for Lots 1 through 5 to a sewer line located in S. 34th Place and connection of side sewer for Lot 6 to a sewer line located in S. 34th Street. 11. All utility connections and new lines shall be installed along the south and east roadways adjacent to the plat.

Fesser j:>f Cherie Lane II Short Plat, LUA-05-147-SHPL Format and Legal Description Review Bob Mac Onie and I have reviewed the above referenced short plat submittal and have the following comments: Comments for the Applicant regarding the preliminary short plat submittal: It is understood that the subject lots will access off of S 34th Place. Therefore, why is S 34th Street needed (except for access to Wetland Tract "B")? Said street was dedicated to the city under Rec. No.98] 228] 932, but should there be a partial vacation? Said vacated portion could be added to the lots in this subject short plat request. If there is to be a further dedication of street right of way (S 34th Place), then the following information concerning dedication of properties for street purposes needs to be addressed: The dedication of properties for street purposes requires approval by the City Council. Said dedication is achieved via a recorded City of Renton Dedication Deed document. If the dedication is to be recorded with the short plat, the dedication process needs to be timed in such a way that Council approval and all other matters pertaining to the dedication have been taken care of, and said document is ready to record. The Deed of Dedication document includes both a legal description exhibit and a map exhibit. The legal description exhibit should be prepared, stamped, dated and signed by the applicant's surveyor. The surveyor should also prepare the map exhibit. The dedication process requires an updated Plat Certificate dated within 45 days of Council approval of said dedication. Talk to the Project Manager if there are questions or further information is needed. Information needed for final short plat approval includes the following: Note the City of Renton land use action number and land record number, LUA-05-147-SHPL and LND-20-0465, respectively, on the drawing, preferably in the upper right-hand corner.

A licensed surveyor will need to prepare and stamp, sign and date the final short plat submittal. Show two ties to the City of Renton Survey Control Network. The geometry will be checked by the city when the ties have been provided. Note the Basis of Bearing on the final submittal. Include a statement of equipment and procedures used, per WAC 332-130-100. Note the dates the existing monuments were visited, per WAC 332-130-150, and what was found. Provide short plat and lot closure calculations. Indicate what has been, or is to be, set at the corners of the proposed lots. Note discrepancies between bearings and distances of record and those measured or calculated, if any. Note all easements, covenants and agreements of record on the drawing. The city will provide addresses for the proposed lots as soon as possible. Note said addresses on the short plat drawing. On the final short plat submittal, remove all references to topog lines, utilities facilities and other items not directly impacting the subdivision. These items are provided only for preliminary short plat approval. Remove the building setback lines noted on the short plat lots. Setbacks are determined at the time that building permits are issued. Remove all references to zoning and density. Remove the "PROPERTY OWNER" block, "SURVEYOR" block, "ENGINEER" block and "BUILDING FOOTPRINT AREA" block from the final short plat submittal. The City of Renton Administrator of Planning/BuildinglPublic Works is the only city official who signs this short plat. Provide an appropriate approval block and signature line. Pertinent King County approval blocks also need to be noted on the drawing. All vested owner(s) of the subject short plat need to sign the final short plat drawing. Include notary blocks as needed.

Due to a mistake by your planning department we were issued a construction permit without having a final approved mitigation plan. Being our first project requiring a mitigation plan we were unaware that installation would normally be. required first. As we prepared to start the mitigation installation in the summer 2005, we came to the city for some· clarifications in tl;1e plan. At this point the City realized what had happened and we were told that, the plan had actually not. been approved. By this point, 80% of the development construction was complete. . Wetland plan revisions, requested by the City, were delivered in August of 2005 and additional requested revisions were delivered in December. Unfortunately it took until December 28th for the final approval to be reached. At that point my contractors were too busy to go forward with the installation. So, far from being given "special permission" we were delayed by the City for a year from when we had planned to install, in ~all 2005, and a year and a half from when it should have been done, in Spring 2005. Now our five year monitoring plan is starting a year later and I will have a wetland-maintenance bond tied up for an extra year. As I stated in my last reply to you, dated June.24th, 2006,_','we have strong incentives, to get the wetlands installed so that we can get our security device released.", I also have a strong incentive to have it last and the weather here is still in the 80s as I write this. We currently, and still, have Cerna Landscaping scheduled for approximately the end of October pending appropriate weather. -2-September 28, 2006 Now, on to getting things done. We had Garet Munger on site the week of September 11 th to flag the boundaries of the wetlands creation area. I have an excavator scheduled for the week of October 16th to do the necessary clearing and excavating within those areas. Attached are letters I sent to the two builders the day before I received your letter. I requested updates from them on the site regarding the clean up so that we can spray hydro seed, install the split rail fence, and schedule the final asphalt lift. Also, the concrete work for installing the mailboxes should be completed the week of September 25th• Lastly, an existing question we had that you brought up: Do you have a specific vendor or design approved for the wetlands signs? We certainly understand the City's urgency to get these issues taken care of and we're working toward such. We will get them completed in a timely manner in a fashion that will allow them to provide the maximum lifespan and benefit for which the wetlands are intended. Given the complexity of the . surrounding issues, feel free to contact me with any questions or maybe we should have an on-site meeting at some point.

Mr. Kevin M. Wyman Mackenzie River Homes Renton, Washington Subject: Final Wetland EvaluationlMitigation Design Cherie Lane~ Renton, Was1ifu'~on Dear Mr. Wyman: AlderNW August 22, 2005 Revision December 13,2005 Project No. 51103 . "-'Cffi;-6f<R'E~\Y6T~-" RECfilVED I' DEC 2 ~ luuj . RE\JISION ! As requested, we have conducted a wetland evaluation for the property located near the intersection of Wells Avenue South and South 34th Street in the City of Renton. The purpose of our work was to identify the limits of the wetland -areas on and immediately adjacent to the subject property. ---In conducting our site evaluation, we followed the general procedures for the routine on-site methodology as outlined in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (March 1997). This procedure involves analysis of vegetation patterns, soil conditions, and near-surface hydrology in making a detennination of wetland "conditions. Our scope of work included site visits in April, 2003 and in October, 2003, at which time we completed our site evaluation and flagged the limits of the wetland along the west side. We completed the delineation and flagging of the wetland area during site visits in April, 2003 and revisited the site in October, 2003. The flagged wetland points . I have been surveyed and plotted . Core Design. Inc. We also have prep a Final Wetland-Mitigati6ti Plan fo project. This final mitigation design is based on the Conceptual Mitigation plan with adjustments for changes in Lot 11, was accepted and approved by the City of Renton and by the heclrlng examiner for the project. PROCEDURES For the purpose of this study, we used the wetland definition adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers (COE) for administering Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. According to this definition, wetlands are: ''Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient· to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas." (33 CFR 323) 518 North 59th Street, Seattle, Washington 98103-Phone (206)783-1036 email aldernw@comcast.net Mr. Kevin Wyman August 22, 2005 Revision December 13, 2005 In Washington State, the Shoreline Management Act and Growth Management.Act hllve amended this definition to exclude some wetland situations by adding the following sentences to the wetland definition: Wetlands do not include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non-wetland sites, including but not limited to, irrigation and drainage ditches, graSs-lined swales, canals, detention facilities, wastewater treabnent facilities, farm ponds, and laridscape amenities, or those wetlands created after July I, 1990, that were intentionally created as a result of the construction of a road, street or Highway. Wetlands may include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non- wetland areas to mitigate the conversion of wetlands. Delineation procedures are based on diagnostic environmental indicators of wetland vegetation, wetland soils, and wetland hydrology. These procedures, outlined in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (March 1997) are commonly known as a Triple Parameter Method. By definition, an area is designated as wetland when there are positive indicators for all three parameters. A listing of plant species has been developed for use in the methodology for delineating wetland areas. This listing assigns plant species to one of five indicator status categories ranging from Obligate wetland species, which almost always occur in wetlands, to Upland species, which rarely occur in wetlands. Under normal conditions, hydrophytic vegetation is determined to be present if more than 50 percent of the dominant species are in the Obligate (OBL), Facultative Wetland (FACW), or Facultative (FAC) indicator categories. Diagnostic indicators of hydric soils are related to sOil saturation, which leads to anaerobic conditions in the soil. Under these conditions, decomposition of organic material is inhibited and soil minerals are reduced, creating characteristic soil colors that can be quantified by comparison with Munsell Soil Color Charts. A chroma of one or less in unmottled soils or a chroma of two or less in mottled Soils generally indicates a hydric soil. In addition, soils that are saturated during the growing season satisfy a criterion for hydric soils. We used a hand auger and or shovel to collect soil samples from depths of 8 to 18 inches, or below the A horizon. Wetland hydrology is defined as inundated or saturated soil conditions for at least 14 consecutive days during the growing season. If no water is present at the time of evaluation, other ~cators may include topographic low points or channels, flood debris, complete absence of vegetation, or presence of hydric soils. . , • > GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS The site is occupied by a mixed conifer-deciduous forest stand of composed of mostly deciduous trees. Oregon ash (Fraxinus lati[olia), red alder (Alnus rubra) black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), and some big leaf maple (Acer macrophy/lum) are the common deciduous trees species on the property. western red cedar (Thuja plicata) is the common deciduous tree present on the property. Salmonberry (Rubus spectabi/is), snowberry (Symphoricarpos alba), and Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor) are the common shrub species present. Adjacent properties east of the project are occupied by existing single family residences of the Wins per n development. Permit applications for construction of a residential subdivision on the property to the south have been submitted for review. Properties to the north and west are undeveloped and occupied by forest. Project No. 123002 Page No. 2 , Mr. Kevin Wyman August 22, 2005 Revision December 13, 200S It appears that there has been some minor grading work on the property. Surface soils'1md vegetation show evidence of disturbance on a swath generally crossing the central section of the property from east to west. This area of disturbance shows on aerial photographs taken in September, 1990. It does not show on earlier aerial photographs .. - Soils across the property and on much of the surrounding area Me mapped as'-Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (Soil . , Survey of King County, Washington, U.S. Soil Conservation Service, 1973). The Alderwood series is made up of moderately well~ed soils that have a weakly to strongly consolidated substratum at depths of between 24 and 40 inches. The National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils does not list the A1derwood series as a hydric soil although wetland conditions are common in depressional areas within A1derwood soil units. Our observations across the site outside of the wetlands and away from disturbed areas are generally consistent with the description of the Alderwood soil series. There has been coal mining activity on the property as outlined in the Preliminaty Geotechnical Evaluation and Coal Mine Hazard Assessment dated May 28, 2003, by Icicle Creek Engineers. Their report identifies an area of coal mine hazard on the southwest co~er of the property. Topographically, the property generally slopes down from about elev. 236 along the eastern property line to the low point of about elev. 180 along the west property line. _ An excavated ditch line crosses the property from near the southeast property comer toward the north property line at Wells Avenue. The ditch drains to the storm drainage system in Wells Avenue. WETLAND AREA We have identified the limits of two wetland areas on the property as shown on the Site Map Sheet 1 of 4). The J wetland limits were flagged by A1derNW, and have been surveyed and plotted on project maps by Core Design, Inc., Wetland A is the larger of the 'site wetlands with an area of approximately 16,340sq.ft. ·r ., Wetland B is a smaIl isolated area of approximatel}';.J,204sgJt near the southwest property corn~r. It is located ~thin the area designated as hi~ coal mine hazard. Wetland A Wetland A is an ''L'' shaped wetland occupying a ceiltral location 'on the property. Vegetation within the wetland includes herbacCous wetIand sPecies -within the interior sections of the wetland with shrub species around the margin of the area. There are taller trees around the margin of the wetland. Predominant herbaceous vegetation within the wetland includes creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens), soft rush (Juncus ejfosus), and grasses including reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea). Shrub species around the margins of the wetland include Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor), sDOwberry (Symphoricarpos alba), and sonie red osier dogwood (Comus stoloni/era). Trees forming the canopy over the wetland include Oregon ash (Fraxinus lati/olia), black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), and some western red cedar (Thuja plicata). Using the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetland classification system Cowardin et a1., 1979), Wetland A includes areas of scrub-shrub habitat and emergent habitat. There is a forest canopy over the wetland making the area a forested habitat. Project No. 123002 Page No.3 Mr. Kevin Wyman August 22, 2005 Revision December 13, 2005 Hydrologically the wetland is supported primarily by near surface seepage drainage "into the wetland. There is no defined surface flow into the wetland. Surface water within the wetIand dissipates and infiltrates. There is no defined outlet from the wetland. At the time of our observations in April, 2003, there were areas of shallow surface water within the wetIand and soils were saturated to near the surface throughout the wetIand. In October, 2003, there were no areas of surface water. It is our interpretation of the City of Renton Critical Area Regulations, that the wetland meets the criteria for designation as a City of Renton Category 3 WetIand. It meets the Category 3 criteria because it is larger than 5,000sq.ft. and has been subject to past disturbance. The past disturbance has altered surface drainage patterns, surface soils have been altered, changing topsoil conditions, and vegetation has been in response to· the disturbance. The standard buffer requirement for Category 3 wetIands is 25 feet. WetJandB WetIand B is a small isolated· area within the coal mine hazard area on the southwest comer of the property. It is a small area of emergent vegetation dominated by creeping buttercup within the surrounding forest. It is our interpretation that this wetland meets the criteria for designation as a Category 3. The wetland and surrounding . buffer is enclosed within the limits of the hazard area PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT It is proposed to develop the property for construction of a 16 lot residential development as shown on project maps by Core Design, Inc. and on the Site Development Plan Sheet 2 of 4. Access to the proposed residential building lots will be provided by construction of an access road which enters the site from Wells Avenue near the northeast comer of the property. The road system will connect with the construction of Wells Avenue for the residential development to the south of the property. These are established access points which define the location of the road system for this project. Construction of the road to connect with the road for the 'project to the south will require filling approximately 2,766sq.ft of Wetland A. With construction of the roadway, there will be reduced buffer width between the new construction and the wetIand boundary at three locations. This area where the buffer will be less than the minimum required 25 foot buffer, is being counted as an indirect wetIand impact or "Paper Fill" and is included m the calculation of the wetland mitigatIon requirements. The area caIculated as paper fill is approximately 1,87Isq.ft. The combined wetland impact from the proposed construction is approximately 4,64lsq.ft. which includes the 220sq.ft which will be filled for construction of the roadway and the 1,87Isq.ft ofwetIand where there will be less than the mininium 25ft buffer. '"'""--- The project will set aside approximately 86,563sq.ft in Tract A which includes the wetland and upland buffer, along with the area covered by the coal mine hazard area. Approximately 40% of the 5 acre property will be included in TractA. The Final Wetland Mitigation Plan is designed to compensate for the identified wetland impacts and buffer impacts. Project No. 123002 Page No. 4 , r Mr. Kevin Wyman August 22, 2005 Revision December 13, 2005 Wetland Buffer Requirements In accordance with provisions of the City of Renton Sensitive Area Regulations, the standard buffer for a category 3 wetland is 25 feet. The project has been designed to provide the minimum 25 foot buffer width for the wetland to the extent possible. Where the buffer is less than 25 feet the affected wetland is being treated as fill and is included in th_e)(1 calculations for mitigation requirements. With this treatment the effective minimum 25 foot buffer is maintained fOP1 the purpose of project design and identification of impacts and mitigation requirements. Because of the constraints from the wetland configuration and requirements for matching existing roads there are no feasible alternative road alignments which would reduce the wetland and buffer impacts. Approximately 7,223sq.ft of area within the 25 foot wetland buffer will be impacted by the road construction. The boundary of Tract A mcludes approXiirlawty !),024sq.ft of upland area beYond me rmmm~ 25 foot buffer as . compensation for the affected buffer area. This provides an increase of approximately 1,800sq.ft. WetlandIBuffer Function There is a wide range of physical, chemical and biological processes which take· place within wetlands and the . associated upland buffer. These wetland processes collectively have been defined as providing functioruu value because of their contribution within the physical, geographical and social landscape. Existing conditions on the west side of the wetlarid buffer are illustrated on the attached photos. Wetland and buffer processes include the microbiological action of bacteria to accumulate and remove contaminants from the water stream, macrobiological processes of providing habitat for vertebrate and invertebrate animal populations and geohydrological processes within the larger landscape for providing detention and retention of surface water. Washington State Department of Ecology (WSDOE) has categorized and grouped the various identifiable wetland process into three kinds of wetland functions. (Methods for Assessing Wetland Functions; Volume I: Riverine and Depressional Wetlands in the Lowlands of Western Washington. Washington State Department of Ecology Publication #99-115). The WSDOE assessment methodology is an attempt to provide a level of quantitative assessment which can be used to identify and evaluate the relative functional contribution of wetland areas. The three general groups of wetland and functions are: Functions related to Water Quality hnprovement; Functions related to Hydrology(Water Quantity); and Functions related to Wildlife Habitat Suitability. The relative value or potential for an individual wetland and its buffer to provide a given function is related to a number of factors including; overall size, position within the watershed, shape of the wetland, density and species composition of vegetation within the wetland and the presence or absence of special habitat features. A summary of the functional assessment for the wetland and buffer area_which will be impacted by the proposed road improvements and buffer averaging is presented on Table 1. As noted on Table I, the existing wetland and its buffer has moderate potential for wetland and buffer function. Project No. 123002 Page No.5 .'"\ Mr. Kevin Wyman August 22, 2005 Revision December 13, 2005 A primary wetland buffer function is in providing wildlife habitat for species associated with the wetland habitat as well as for species not directly dependent on the wetland area. For this property, the wetland area is of moderate size and has been subject to disturbance and some clearing in the past. There is no permanent surface water within the wetland which would support amphibian wildlife species. With the presence of Himalayan blackberry, the buffer area has reduced habitat function. With control of the Himalayan blackberry and the planting of native trees and shrubs, there will be a reduction in the density of invasive non native species and an increase in native plant species diversity along with an increase in structural diversity. As the vegetation matures there will be an increase in the habitat complexity and habitat suitability and an increase in the potential for use by increased numbers and diversity of wildlife species. TreeS have been included so that there will be a forested component on the festored and enhanced buffer. Wetland Mitigation Requirements Where there is no feasible development alternative whereby wetland and buffer impacts can be avoided, and where impacts to the wetland and buffers are miriimized to the extent possible, the City of Renton Critical Regulations allow wetland and buffer impacts if there is compensation for any pennanent wetland or buffer impacts (4-3-05-M8). For this project there is no feasible alternative location for the roadways for the Cherie Lane property. Any alternative road alignments would not meet the requirement to match existing roadways and limit the ability to access . portions of the property on the northwest corner. The access road is being designed to meet City of Renton design requirements which establish minimum road widths. The City of Renton requires that "The overall goal of any compensatory project shall be no net loss of wetland function and acreage and to strive for a net resource gain in wetlands over present conditions. The concept of "no net loss" means to create, restore and/or enhance a wetland so that there is no reduction to total wetland acreage and/or function." (4-3-05M9a). The Critical Area Regulations (4-3-05M9 throughM12) provide guidance for determining appropriate compensatory mitigation ratios to meet the mitigation goals. Mitigation can be provided by creation of new wetland or by a combination of wetland creation and enhancement of an existing wetland. The standard mitigation ratio for impacts . to Category 3 forested wetlands is 1.5 : I (Wetland Area Created: Wetland Area Impacted). This ratio can be adjusted where a combination of wetland creation and wetland enhancement is proposed. If a combination of creation and enhancement is to be used; the mitigation shall include wetland creation at a minimum ratio of 1 : 1 and wetland enhancement at a ratio of 1 : 1. For construction of the roadway, 4,646sq.ft of the wetland habitat will be impacted. Mitigation for the impact to the wetland will be provided by creation of 4,900.ft. of new wetland and enhancement of 5,OOO.ft of the wetland . . The areas proposed for wetland creation and enhancement are shown on the Site Development Plan (Sheet 2 of 4). New wetland area will be created by excavating to match the grade of the adjacent wetland to allow overflow from Project No. 123002 Page No.6 • .. Mr. Kevin Wyman August 22, 2005 Revision December 13, 2005 ~.i,,"" the wetland into the mitigation area. The shallow excavation will lower surface grades to reach the near surface shaIIow water table over the site. Grading to expand the existing wetland will involve some excavation of existing wetland. The mitigation area will be planted in native wetland shrubs and trees to accelerate the development of scrub-shrub wetland habitat on the mitigation area. Enhancement of the existing wetland will be carried out by making plantings of native trees and shrubs to accelerate ~ establishment of native scrub-shrub habitat on sections of wetland where there has been disturbance and there is sparse shrub and tree groWth. Enhancement will also involve worle to control the growth of non native invasive species on the area designated as the mitigation area. The areas identified for wetland creation and enhancement will be adjusted in the final design and at the time of conStruction to avoid existing features and to select the most appropriate area for wetland enhancement. ~ Goals and Objectives Construction of the roadway will impact a relatively small area of the wetland along the western margin between the proposed access road and the wetland. With implementation· of the proposed mitigation design concept, the wetland functions impacted by the limited filling will be replaced by creation of 4,900sq.ft of new wetland and by enhancing approximately 5,OOOsq.ft of existing disturbed wetland area. Proposed wetland mitigation areas are shown on the Site Development Plan Sheet (2 of 4). The areas shown are somewhat larger than the minimum requirements to illustrate the general location and concept of the proposed mitigation. To a large extent the wetland hydrology functions, will be mitigated by excavation to create new wetland area. This excavation to create new wetland area will expand the surface area and capacity for storage within the wetland to replace the hydrological function of the wetland area to be impacted. Water quality improvement functions will be mitigated with the reestablishment of native vegetation including herbaceous growth within the wetland creation area. The general goal of the mitigation plan is to create a wetland habitat area which has comparable or greater function as is found in the existing wetland to be impacted. This goal will be accomplished by replacing the area to be fiJJed with new wetland, and by enhancing portions of the oosting wetland and buffer. With completion of the mitigation design plan the total wetland area on the project wiU be expanded. . The wetland mitigation design involves three general object6ives: I. Establish new scrub-shrub wetland habitat which mimics native plant communities on a minimum of 4,900sq.ft. of created wetland area, having a minimum of four wetland shrub species and two wetland tree species. 2. Control the growth of invasive plants, including Himalayan blackberry and Scot's broom on the areas included in the mitigation plan. Project No. 123002 Page No.7 Mr. Kevin Wyman August 22, 2005 Revision December 13, 2005 3. Enhance existing wetland area occupied by emergent habitat to -establish 5,OOOsq.ft of scrub-shrub habitat with a minimum of four native shrub species and three native tree species. Wetland Hydrology/W ater Regime The area designated for the wetland creation will be hydrologically supported by natural drainage from the existing wetland. In addition, the proposed grading for wetland creation will intercept the shallow perched water table which is present across the site to create wetland hydrological conditions. The grading plan for the new wetland area will be designed to match the elevations in the adjacent wetland with the . intent of allowing surface and subsurface water to spill into the newly created wetland area. The hydrological objective of the mitigation design is to maintain saturated soils to within 12 inches of the surface within the wetland creation area at least until May l of each year. WETLAND MITIGATION MONITORING Standards of Success A determination of the success in achieving the buffer/wetland mitigation goals and objectives will be based on the following standards: Standards of Success A determination of the success in achieving the bufferlwet1and mitigation goals and objectives will be based on the following standards: 1. A minimum 80-percent average native vegetative cover of trees and shrubs throughout the mitigation areas at the end of the five year monitoring period. Plant species composition shoUld meet the intent of the mitigation goals. 2. A minimum of 80-percent survival of planted trees and shrubs at the end of each of the five years of the monitoring period. This survival rate is established as a goal and may be adjusted where natural regeneration and growth has resulted in minimum plant cover, as defined in Item 1. Weedy and invasive species, such as reed canarygrass and Himalayan blackberry, will not be considered suitable substitutes for the planted species. 3. Less than ten percent cover by invasive weedy species at the end of each growing season during the five year monitoring period. Project No. 123002 Page No. 8 " ,. Mr. Kevin Wyman August 22, 2005 Revision December 13, 2005 4. Saturated soils to the surface throughout the limits of the wetland creatio'd areas at least until May 1, measured consecutively, for each year during the monitoring period. 5. A water table within 12 inches of the surface through May 1 of each monitoring year. Sampling Methods Vegetative cover will be sampled by measurements along 50-foot long permanently established transects. Data to be collected on these transects include surviving plant numbers and aerial coverage by species. These transects will be located to provide adequate sampling of the different vegetation zones in the mitigation area. A minimum of five transects will be established to sample the buffer and wetland mitigation areas. Permanent stakes will identifY the end points of each transect. In addition to the Sample transects, permanent photo points will be established from which the mitigation area can be photographed. These photos will provide a pictorial record of the development of the area over time and will be used to supplement the quantitative sample transects. Monitoring Schedule The project biologist shall provide construction inspection services during implementation of the mitigation plan to ensure that mitigation design objectives are being met. It is important that wetland biologist provide observation and consultation services when work is underway within mitigation areas. This is to assure that enhancement design is being appropriately interpreted and to be available to provide consultation and make adjustments in the event changed conditions are encountered and to identifY the specific limits of work. An initial report describing the as-built conditions will be prepared for submittal to City of Renton when construction work, has been completed. This report will be prepared upon completion of the plantings for the project and will identifY the work completed and document the baseline conditions for defining the success of the project in 'subsequent monitoring reports. Following completion of the project and acceptance of the plantings the mitigation area will be monitored on the following schedule. 1. 2. 3. 4. 30 days after completion Quarterly during the first year after installation of the plant materials. Monitoring shall be conducted during the months of March, June, September, and December. During June or July of the second, third, fourth and fifth years after installation. Final inspection of the mitigation project, five years after the mitigation plantings were installed and the mitigation work accepted as complete. _ _ __ _ _____ ---, '0CVlNAi'\ ~ Project No. 123002 Page No. 9 Mr. Kevin Wyman August 22, 2005 Revision December 13, 2005 The wetland biologist will monitor the project on the above schedule and prepare ~tten reports addressing the survivability and growth of plant materials, as well as any recommendations for maintenance or remediation. These reports will be submitted to City of Renton within two weeks of completing each monitoring visit. The wetland biologist will prepare a final report at the end of the five year monitoring period to be submitted within thirty days of completing the final mitigation inspection. This final report will address the success of the project in meeting the project objectives. Care and Maintenance The mitigation area shall be examined periodically to detennine the possible invasion of weedy pest species such as Scot's broom, reed canarygrass, English ivy, and Him8.Iayan blackberry, which compete with more desirable native species. These pest species shall be controlled as they appear on the buffer enhancement area. Reed canarygrass can be periodically cut to control its growth, and blackberry can be physically pulled out or cut do-M!. Red alder and black cottonwood, or other tree seedlings which may become established shall be thinned to 8 ft. to 12 ft. centers. Irrigation will be required during the first summer arid possibly during the second summer after installation. Water shall be applied as necessary depending on rainfall and soil moisture conditions. Irrigation may be provided by iDstallation of temporary irrigation pipes or by water trucks. Requirements for replacement of dead . plant materials shall be identified during the monitoring inspection. Replanting as necessary will be carried out during the dormant season. Trash and effects of vandalism shaIJ be removed as soon as possible after appearance in the area. We trust theinfonnation presented is sufficient for your current needs.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND The proposed preliminary plat consists of two tax parcels totaling approximately 2.84 acres. Both parcels are vacant and apparently have not been developed in recent years. The proposed land use action is approval of a 6-lot subdivision for single-family residential development. The land subdivision would include a tract for stormwater detention and a Native Growth Protection Easement for two wetlands and their buffers. Access will be from an east-west existing road, S 34th Place, via Wells Ave S. South 34th Place was recently considered as part of the Cherie Lane I preliminary plat. HEX report Cherie L~ne II 02 City of Renton PIBIPW Departmen. CHERIE LANE 1/ PRELIMINARY PLA T --- PUBLIC HEARING DA TE: SEPTEMBER 5, 2006 " Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner . LUA-05-147, ECF, PP Page 4 of 14 The property is zoned Residential 8 (R-8). Six lots would be developed at a density of 6.54 dwelling units per net acre (du/a) using the R-8 development standards. The lots range from 5,015 to 10,421 sf. The applicant submitted several studies including: a geotechnical report, wetland delineation, and a preliminary storm drainage report. Category 2 wetlands were found to be present on the site. Mitigation for buffer averaging, necessary to create buildable lots in certain areas, has been proposed by the applicant. Site preparation for development of the plat would include the removal of vegetation and trees for roadways, utilities and building pads. Trees and vegetation would remain in wetlands and wetland buffers. Replacement trees, to compensate for protected trees to be removed, will be required. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Single Family (RSF). 2. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971 as amended), on August 7,2006, the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated (DNS-M) for the Cherie Lane II Preliminary plat. The DNS-M included four mitigation measures. A 14-day appeal period commenced on August 14, 2006, and ended on August 28,2006. No appeals were filed. 3. COMPLIANCE WITH ERC MITIGATION MEASURES Based on an analysis of the probable impacts from the proposal, the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) issued the following mitigation measures with the Determination of Non- Significance -Mitigated (DNS-M): 1. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations included in the geotechnical report, "Report -Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Services Cherie Lane II Residential Development," by Icicle Creek Engineers, dated July 22,2005. 2. The applicant will be required to submit a wetland enhancement and restoration plan as mitigation for wetland buffer compensation. Such plan must be approved prior to recording of the final plat. 3. The project shall comply with the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual for both detention (Conservation Flow Control-Level 2) and water quality facilities. 4. The applicant shall be required to plant a minimum of seventeen (17) trees (not including trees required for front setback landscaping, street trees, and trees planted as part of the wetland buffer compensation) as mitigation for trees removed from the site for development. 4. STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS Representatives from various city departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and address site plan issues from the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file, and the essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report and the Departmental Recommendation at the end of the report. 5. CONSISTENCY WITH PRELIMINARY PLAT CRITERIA: Approval of a plat is based upon several factors. The following preliminary plat criteria have been established to assist decision makers in the review of the subdivision. HEX report Cherie Lane II 02 City of Renton PIBIPW Departmen. CHERIE LANE /I PRELIMINARY PLA T PUBLIC HEARING DATE: SEPTEMBER 5, 2006 (a) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-05-147, ECF, PP Page 5 of 14 The objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan form the basis for zoning and development regulations for land use and building construction. Although all elements of the Comprehensive Plan apply, the most applicable elements for review of this preliminary plat are Community Design, Environmental, Housing, and Land Use. Community Design Element -New Development Site Planning Objective CD·D: New neighborhood development patterns should be consistent with Renton's established neighborhoods and have an interconnected road network. Although the access road, S 34th Place terminates in a cul-de-sac, there is currently no development proposed to the west that would justify completing the street to its logical connection with Talbot Rd S. Otherwise, the access road complies with City of Renton poliCies for connectivity. Policy CD 15. Land should be subdivided into blocks sized so that walking distances are minimized and convenient routes between destination points are available. The single block of the proposed plat would be configured as a standard city block. Policy CD·16. During land division, all lots should front on streets or parks. Discourage single-tier lots with rear yards backing onto a street. All lots are planned to front on a street, with a dedicated Native Growth Protection easement to the rear of each lot. Policy CD·19. During development, significant trees, either individually or in stands, should be preserved, replaced, or as a last option, relocated. Trees within wetlands and wetland buffers would be preserved within a recorded Native Growth Protection Easement, with the exception of those in buffer averaging areas, which must be replaced at a ratio of one to one. "Protected" trees that would be removed for preparation of building sites would be replaced at a rate of one tree replaced for every four protected trees removed. Policy CD·26. Streets, sidewalks, and pedestrian or bike paths should be arranged as an interconnecting network. The use of cul-de-sacs should be discouraged. A grid or "flexible grid" pattern of streets and pathways, with a hierarchy of widths and corresponding traffic volumes, should be used. The vehicle and pedestrian circulation system is externally connected. There are no internal streets planned. Policy CD· 27. New streets should be designed to provide convenient access and a choice of routes between homes and parks, schools, shopping, and other community destinations. Street improvements to the undeveloped north side of S 34th PI would be required, but otherwise no new streets are planned. Landscaping Policy CD· 50. Trees should be planted along residential streets, in parking lots requiring landscaping, and in other pervious areas as the opportunity arises. Trees HEX report Cherie Lane II 02 City of Renton PIBIPW Departmen. CHERIE LANE /I PRELIMINARY PLA T Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-05-147, ECF, PP PUBLIC HEARING DA TE: SEPTEMBER 5, 2006 should be retained whenever possible and maintained using Best Management Practices as appropriate for each type. Page 6 of 14 Trees at the ratio of one per lot, approximately, have been proposed to be planted in the front yard setback of each residential lot. The Residential 8 zone requires a minimum of two trees per lot in the front yard setback or within the abutting public right-of way of each lot. The applicant would be required to provide the two trees per lot. In addition, all pervious areas of single-family lots and the stormwater detention tract are to be landscaped. Protected trees will either be retained or replaced. Maintenance would be the responsibility of the property owner (individual lots and abutting parking strips) and the Homeowners' Association (common areas including open space and detention tracts and Native Growth Protection Easement areas). Objective CD·K: Site plans for new development projects for all uses, including residential subdivisions, should include landscape plans. A Conceptual Landscape Plan for the Cherie Lane /I Preliminary plat has been submitted by the applicant, but does not appear to meet the minimum requirements of RMC 4-4-070 "Landscaping." Completion of the landscaping prior to final inspection would be a requirement of the project. Policy CD·53. Landscape plans for proposed development projects should include public entryways, street rights-of-way, stormwater detention ponds, and all common areas. The Final Landscape Plan would include proposed landscaping of the detention tract. Policy CD·55. Maintenance programs should be required for landscaped areas in development projects, including entryways, street rights-of-way, stormwater retention/detention ponds, and common areas .. Maintenance of common areas would be the responsibility of the Homeowners' Association. Maintenance of landscaping is required by Renton Municipal Code. Policy CD·56. Surface water retention/detention ponds should be landscaped appropriately for the location of the facility. The applicant has proposed a vault within a detention tract for the Cherie Lane /I Preliminary plat. The tract would be landscaped. Streets, Sidewalks, and Streetscape Objective CD·M: Develop a system of residential streets, sidewalks, and alleys that serve both vehicles and pedestrians. Policy CD·61. Residential streets should be constructed to the narrowest widths (distance from curb to curb) feasible without impeding emergency vehicle access. S. 34th PI is constructed to the narrowest dimension allowed by City code. Policy CD·66. Sidewalks or walking paths should be provided along residential streets. Sidewalk width should be ample to safely and comfortably accommodate pedestrian traffic. A sidewalk would be provided on the project side of the only public street. Policy CD·71. All utility lines should be placed underground. All utility lines will be placed underground. HEX report Cherie Lane II 02 City of Renton PIBIPW Departmer\ CHERIE LANE /I PRELIMINARY PLA i PUBLIC HEARING DATE: SEPTEMBER 5, 2006 Environmental Element Wetlands Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-05-147, ECF, PP Page 7 of 14 Objective EN·D: Preserve and protect wetlands for overall system functioning Policy EN·8. Achieve no overall net loss of the City's remaining wetlands base. The proposed plat would not result in the loss of wetlands. Policy EN·9. In no case should development activities decrease net acreage of existing wetlands. Development activities associated with the Cherie Lane /I Preliminary plat would not decrease the net acreage of existing wetlands. Policy EN·10. Establish and protect buffers along wetlands to facilitate infiltration and maintain stable water temperatures, provide for the biological regime, reduce amount and velocity of run-off, and provide for wildlife habitat. Although limited buffer averaging would be necessary, additional buffer area would be enhanced to provide adequate protection of wetlands to remain. Maintenance of wetlands and their buffers would be the responsibility of the Homeowners' Association. Policy EN·13. When development may impact wetlands, the following hierarchy should be followed in deciding the appropriate course of action: a. avoid impacts to the wetland, b. minimize impacts to the wetland, c. restore the wetland when impacted, d. recreate the wetland at a ratio which will provide for its assured viability and success, e. enhance the functional values of an existing degraded wetland. Impacts to the wetland should be avoided or minimized during construction and occupancy. If damage occurs, restoration would be required. A mitigation plan to enhance wetland buffers would be required as a condition of approval of a buffer averaging plan. A wetland maintenance and monitoring plan is a requirement of Renton City code. Housing Element Moderate and Middle Income Housing Objective H·D: Encourage the private sector to provide market rate housing for the widest potential range of income groups including middle-and moderate-income households. Policy H·24. Disperse moderate-income housing in all areas of the City that have vacant land. By approving subdivision of land into parcels of approximately 5,000 to 10,000 sf each, moderate income housing would be available outside in an area of the City that has traditionally had very large residential tracts. This provides the opportunity for families to live outside of the Urban Center, in a more "suburban" environment. HEX report Cherie Lane II 02 City of Renton PIBIPW Departmen" CHERIE LANE /I PRELIMINARY PLA T PUBLIC HEARING DATE: SEPTEMBER 5, 2006 Land Use Element Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-05-147, ECF, PP Page 80f14 The Cherie Lane II Preliminary plat property is designated Residential Single-family on the Comprehensive Plan map. Residential Single-family Land Use Designation The property proposed for the Cherie Lane II subdivision is designated Residential Single-family (RSF). The objective established by the RSF is to designate land for quality residential single-family development organized into neighborhoods at urban densities. The intention is that subdivisions are carefully designed to enhance and improve the quality of single-family living environments. The proposed plat is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies for Residential Single-family Land Use. Objective LU-FF. Encourage re-investment and rehabilitation of existing housing, and development of new residential plats resulting in quality neighborhoods that: 1) Are planned at urban densities and implement Growth Management targets; 2) Promote expansion and use of public transportation; and 3) Make more efficient use of urban services and infrastructure. The project would provide 6 residential lots, which would further Growth Management targets. Policy LU-147. Net development densities should fall within a range of 4.0 to 8.0 dwelling units per net acre in Residential Single Family neighborhoods. The six lots within the R-8 zone would be at a density of 6.54 dwelling units per net acre, after the required deductions, and therefore is within the preferred density range of the R-8 zone. Policy LU-149. Lot size should exclude private sidewalks, easements, private road, and driveway easements, except alley easements. Lot areas do not include access easements. Objective CD-K: Site plans for new development projects for all uses, including residential subdivisions, should include landscape plans. A Conceptual Landscape Plan has been submitted, a Final Landscape Plan will be required. Policy CD-45. Existing mature vegetation and distinctive trees should be retained and protected in developments. Trees and vegetation would be removed outside of the wetlands and their buffers within the plat. However, al/ pervious areas, except rear yards, are required to be landscaped and additional trees will be planted, as required by City of Renton code. This would compensate for the loss of vegetation to a certain extent. Policy CD-53. Landscape plans for proposed development projects should include public entryways, street rights-of-way, storm-water detention ponds, and all common areas. A Final Landscape Plan is required indicating that common areas, including the detention tract, would be landscaped. HEX report Cherie Lane II 02 City of Renton PIBIPW Departmen. CHERIE LANE /I PRELIMINARY PLA T PUBLIC HEARING DA TE: SEPTEMBER 5, 2006 Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-05-147, ECF, PP Page 9 of 14 Policy CD-55. Maintenance programs should be required for landscaped areas in development projects, including entryways, street rights-of-way, storm-water retention/detention ponds, and common areas. The applicant would be required to incorporate a Homeowners' Association, which would be responsible for maintenance of all common improvements. (b) Compliance with the Underlying Zoning Designation. The 2.84 -acre site (gross area) consists of two parcels within the Residential - 8 dwelling units per acre (R-8) zone on the City of Renton Zoning Map. The proposed development allows for the future construction of up to 6 dwelling units with associated plat improvements. Density -In the City of Renton, residential density is based on the land area less public streets, private access easements, and critical areas. Prior to calculating density the area to be dedicated for a Native Grown Protection Easement is deducted from the gross acreage. The Cherie Lane II property contains approximately 83,771 sf of critical area that would be deducted from the gross site area. After the deduction of 83,771 sf from the 123,708 gross square foot parcel (123,708 gsf site -83,771 sf = 39,937 net sf (0.92 acre), the proposed 6-lot plat would have a net density of 6.54 dwelling units per acre. (6 units / 0.92 acre = 6.54 du/a). This is within the range of allowable densities of 4 to 8 du/a for the R-8 zone. Lot Dimensions and Sizes -The minimum lot width in the R-8 zone is 50 feet for interior lots and 60 feet for corner lots with a minimum lot depth of 65 feet. The plat would create 6 lots, one tract, and two Native Growth Protection Easements at the following sizes: Lot Table Lot Area {square feetl 1 5,075 2 5,086 3 5,027 4 5,015 5 5,718 6 10,421 Easement and Tract Table Tract Purpose Size (sf) NGPE Wetland 'A' 4,434 NGPE Wetland 'A' buffer 20,975 NGPE Wetland 'C' 23,071 NGPE Wetland 'C' buffer 28,604 C Surface water detention tract 4,079 Lots in the plat would meet the lot dimension requirements. Because of wetland buffer locations, however, building construction areas may be somewhat limited. Buffer HEX report Cherie Lane II 02 City of Renton P/BIPW Departmen CHERIE LANE 1/ PRELIMINARY PLA T PUBLIC HEARING DATE: SEPTEMBER 5, 2006 Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-05-147, ECF, PP Page 10 of 14 averaging will be allowed, but no buffer may be reduced by more than 50 percent (25 feet). A condition of approval is recommended that buffers be clearly marked prior to and during construction. An additional condition is recommended that the buffer perimeter be provided with permanent buffer protection fencing in the form of a "split-rail" style wood fence be installed prior to recording the Final Plat. Setbacks -The R-8 zone requires minimum front yard setback of 15 feet for primary the structures and 20 feet for attached garages that access from the front yard street. Side yard setbacks along a street (corner lot) are 15 feet and interior side yard setbacks are 5 feet. Rear yard setbacks are 20 feet. Setbacks are shown on the Preliminary plat plan and appear to comply with the setback requirements. All setbacks would be verified prior to the issuance of individual building permits. Building Standards -The R-8 zone permits one single-family residential structure per lot. Accessory structures are permitted, at a maximum number of two per lot at 720 square feet each, or one per lot at 1,000 square feet in size. The 6 proposed lots would support one primary structure on each lot. Building height in the R-8 zone is limited to 2 stories and 30 feet for primary structures and one story and 15 feet for detached accessory structures. Maximum building coverage in the R-8 zone, based on lots being greater than 5,000 sf each, would be 35 percent or 2,500 sf, whichever is greater. Project compliance with each of these building standards will be verified prior to the issuance of building permits for each individual structure. Landscaping -Landscaping is required for this subdivision (RMC 4-4-070). General landscape requirements include: on-site landscaping along all street frontages, except for walkways and driveways; when rear or side yards are along property lines abutting a street, a minimum of five (5) feet of planting area in the public right-of-way; landscaping of all pervious areas in the plat including detention ponds, and installation of underground irrigation systems or use of drought resistant plant materials. Specific landscape requirements are also applicable to the preliminary plat including those related to: trees, soils, drainage, plants, and berms as outlined in the landscaping regulations. Cherie Lane II would abut Wells Ave Sand S 34th Place. A five foot wide irrigated or drought resistant landscape strip must be installed along these two streets and if there is additional undeveloped right-of-way in excess of five feet, this additional width must be landscaped. Additionally, a minimum of two trees of a City approved species with a minimum caliper of 1-~ inch per tree must be planted in the front yard or planting strip of every lot prior to final building occupancy. The Conceptual Landscape Plan indicates trees, "two per lot frontage," will be planted, although only 11 trees are shown, one planted within the drip line of a tree that may remain (located within the wetland buffer). No landscaping is shown in areas abutting the public streets and no detention tract landscaping is shown. To ensure that landscaping requirements are met, staff recommends as a condition of plat approval that a revised conceptual landscape plan, with adherence to City of Renton landscaping requirements demonstrated, be submitted to the Development Services Project Manager for review and approval prior to final plat recording. Prior to the issuance of building permits, a detailed Final Landscape Plan must be submitted and approved. HEX report Cherie Lane II 02 City of Renton PIBIPW Departmen. CHERIE LANE /I PRELIMINARY PLA T PUBLIC HEARING DATE: SEPTEMBER 5, 2006 (c) Compliance with Subdivision Regulations. Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-05-147, ECF, PP Page 11 of 14 Lot Arrangement: Side lot lines are to be at right angles to street lines, and each lot must have access to a public street or road. Access may be by private access easement per the requirements of the Street Improvement Ordinance. The side lot lines of the proposed lots are at right angles to street lines. All lots would have access to the public roadway. As proposed, lots comply with arrangement and access requirements of the Subdivision Regulations. Lots: The size, shape and orientation of lots shall meet the minimum area and width requirements of the applicable zoning classification and shall be appropriate for the type of development and use contemplated. The Preliminary plat plan includes setback lines for each lot showing potential building envelopes. With wetland buffer averaging, proposed lots appear to have sufficient building area for the development of detached single family homes. Property Corners at Intersections: All lot corners at intersections of dedicated public rights-of-way, except alleys, shall have minimum radius of 15 feet. The proposed subdivision would create one lot to be located at the intersection of public rights-of-way. This lot corner would have a radius equal to or greater than 15 feet. (d) Reasonableness of Proposed Boundaries Access and Street Improvements: The property is located on both sides of the public right-of-way of S 34th St. Since the residential lots and detention tract would be located on the south side of this right-of-way, and the wetlands primarily located north of it, access will be from the south. A related single-family development, Cherie Lane I was required to complete half street improvements to S 34th Place. Therefore, S 34th PI would provide primary access to the proposed subdivision. In order to avoid having the side yard (and fence) of Lot 6 along the access road of the plat (S. 34th PI) and to reduce curb cuts along Wells Ave S, a condition of approval is recommended that Lot 6 front on and be accessed from S. 34th Place. Wells Ave S, which runs north-south, provides northbound indirect access to Talbot Road S, through the Winsper development. Southbound Wells can be used to access both Talbot Road and Benson Drive S, a principal arterial. Street improvements including curb, gutter, sidewalk and street lighting would be required. To ensure common improvements are maintained, staff recommends the establishment of a homeowners' association (HOA) as a condition of preliminary plat approval. The HOA would be responsible for maintenance of all common improvements, including but not limited to utility and access easements, the stormwater detention facility, and wetland and buffer tracts. Topography: The site slopes gradually at about 8 percent from the northeast corner of the property toward the southwest. There are no steep or otherwise protected slopes present on the site. A large number of trees, shrubs and groundcover are present throughout the site. An inventory submitted by the applicant indicates approximately 67 "protected" trees, those 8 inches or greater in size measured 4.5 feet above grade, would be removed to prepare the site for construction. Protected trees include maple, ash, cedar, and fir. All vegetation from the plat will be removed, with the exception of that in the wetlands and HEX report Cherie Lane II 02 City of Renton PIBIPW Departmen. CHERIE LANE /I PRELIMINARY PLA T PUBLIC HEARING DATE: SEPTEMBER 5, 2006 Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-05-147, ECF, PP Page 12 of 14 wetland buffers. To compensate for the loss of the 67 protected trees, staff recommends as a condition of approval, that the applicant be required to provide 25 percent of total, 17 trees, at a minimum of 2 inches in caliper measured at 4.5 feet above grade. The approximate location of these trees will be required to be shown on the revised conceptual landscaping plan to be submitted prior to recording the final plat. A geotechnical report indicates that native soils would be suitable for residential building construction. The applicant has indicated that required cut and fill should be less than 5 feet to create final grades for building sites. The Environmental Checklist indicates the cut and the fill would be balanced at approximately 5,000 cy. Relationship to Existing Uses: The property is vacant with no indication of recent occupation or development. The surrounding neighborhood is comprised of new single family residential subdivisions. The Winsper development, zoned R-8, is abutting to the north. A new subdivision, Cherie Lane I Preliminary plat, is being constructed at the present time. Undeveloped land between the proposed plat and Talbot Road can only be accessed from Talbot. (e) Availability and Impact on Public Services (Timeliness) Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention staffs indicate that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the proposed development, subject to the condition that the applicant provide Code required improvements and fees. A Fire Mitigation Fee will be required prior to recording the Final Plat in order to mitigate the project's potential impacts to emergency services. Recreation: It is anticipated that the proposed development would generate additional users of existing City park and recreational facilities and programs. Therefore, a Parks Mitigation Fee would be required prior to recording the Final Plat. Schools: The site is located within the Renton School District No. 403. Based on the student generation factor, the proposed plat would result in approximately 3 additional students (0.44 x 6 = 2.64). The School District has indicated that they would be able to handle additional students coming from the proposed development. The schools would include: Talbot Hill Elementary, Dimmitt Middle School and Renton High School. Storm Drainage/Surface Water: Drainage improvements would include curbs, gutters, catch basins, and pipe network for collection of surface water on-site. Runoff would be directed to a stormwater vault located on a deSignated storm drainage tract. A Storm Drainage Report has been included in the Preliminary Technical Information Report by Schweikl and Associates, PLLC, dated October, 2005, used specifications that conform to the detention and water quality standards as delineated in the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual. Landscaping of stormwater tracts is required by RMC 4-4-070. The applicant is to submit a revised conceptual landscape plan for the review and approval of the Development Services Project Manager prior to recording of the plat. The applicant is subject to the Surface Water SDC fees of $715.00 per new single family home. Wetlands are present at this site in three locations, Wetland 'A' at 4,434 sf borders the east property boundary, Wetland 'B' is proposed to be filled, and Wetland 'C' at 23,071 sf borders on the east. Staff recommends that Native Growth Protection Easements (NGPE) be recorded to preserve Wetlands 'A' and 'C', the wetland buffers, and buffer HEX report Cherie Lane II 02 City of Renton PIBIPW Departmer CHERIE LANE 1/ PRELIMINARY PLA T PUBLIC HEARING DA TE: SEPTEMBER 5, 2006 Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-05-147, ECF, PP Page 13 of 14 averaged areas. Additionally, staff has recommended that a Homeowners' Association be incorporated for the Plat to manage and maintain the NGPE. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that the outside perimeter of the wetland buffer be fenced with a split-rail fence. Rear yards of residential property abutting the wetland buffer should not be fenced with sight-obscuring fencing, but rather should utilize the split-rail fence. Water Utilitv: The proposed development is within the City of Renton water service area. Site-specific improvements to the City system including water main extension, fire hydrants and domestic water stubs will be required in accordance with City of Renton standards. System Development Charges will be applicable. Sanitary Sewer Utility: The applicant has submitted a Certificate of Sewer Availability from the Soos Creek Water & Sewer District. The District has indicated ability to provide service to all lots via an existing line located in the S. 34th Street right-of-way. The applicant has indicated the side sewer for Lot 6 would be connected to the S. 34th Street main, but side sewers to Lots 1 through 5 would be connected to a new line in S. 34th Place. The latter would be preferable to avoid invasion of the wetlands and/or wetland buffers by side sewers. Staff recommends that the applicant obtain a revised Certificate of Sewer Availability from the Soos Creek Water & Sewer District indicating connection to a sewer line in S. 34th Place. A Soos Creek Water & Sewer District Special Connection Charge will be assessed. H. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Cherie Lane" Preliminary plat, Project File No. LUA-05-147, ECF, PP subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall submit a Wetland Mitigation Plan to demonstrate how the approved buffer averaging would be mitigated in areas abutting the wetland buffers. The satisfaction of this requirement is subject to the review and approval of the Development Services Project Manager prior to recording the Final Plat. 2. The perimeter of wetland buffers shall be clearly marked prior to and during construction with removable chain-link construction fencing. 3. Permanent buffer protection fencing in the form of a "split-rail" style wood fence shall be installed prior to final inspection. Rear yards of residential property abutting the wetland buffer should not be fenced with sight-obscuring fencing, but rather should utilize the split- rail fence. 4. A revised Conceptual Landscape Plan shall be submitted to the Development Services Project Manager for review and approval prior to Final Plat recording. 5. In order to avoid having the side yard (and possibly a fence) of Lot 6 along the access road of the plat (S. 34th Place) and to reduce curb cuts along Wells Ave S, Lot 6 shall front on and be accessed from S. 34th Place. 6. A Homeowners' Association (HOA) shall be created concurrently with the recording of the Final Plat in order to establish maintenance responsibilities for all shared improvements. The HOA shall be responsible for maintenance of the Native Growth Protection Area (easement), the stormwater detention tract, and any common areas created within the plat. A draft of the document shall be submitted to the City of Renton Development Services Division for review and approval by the City Attorney and Property Services section prior to recording of the Final Plat.

Schweikl, Schweikl and Associates PROJECT NAME: Cherie Lane II Preliminary Plat DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: The proponent of the Cherie Lane II Preliminary Plat is requesting SEPA environmental review and Preliminary Plat approval for subdivision of vacant land. The proposed subdivision would result in 6 lots suitable for single-family residential development, a surface water detention facility in a separate tract, and several wetland tracts. The 5.94 acre property (made up of two tax parcels) is zoned Residential 8 (R-8, eight dwelling units per net acre). The density of the plat would be 6.54 dwelling units per net acre (du/n), which is with the range (4 to 8 du/a) allowed by the R-8 zoning. The two parcels are divided by a street right-of-way for an undeveloped section of South 34th Street. Access would be from the south side of the southernmost parcel, from an existing street, South 34th Place. The six lots would range in size from approximately 5,015 sq ft to 10,421 sq ft. LOCATION OF PROPOSAL: LEAD AGENCY: Northwest quadrant of S 34th Place and Wells Avenue S The City of Renton Department of Planning/Building/Public Works Development Planning Section The City of Renton Environmental Review Committee has determined that it does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21 C.030(2)(c). Conditions were imposed as mitigation measures by the Environmental Review Committee under their authority of Section 4-6-6 Renton Municipal Code. These conditions are necessary to mitigate environmental impacts identified during the environmental review process. Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 PM on August 28, 2006.

The proposed subdivision would result in 6 lots suitable for single-family residential development, a surface water detention facility in a separate tract, and several wetland tracts. The 5.94 acre property (made up of two tax parcels) is zoned Residential 8 (R-8, eight dwelling units per net acre). The density of the plat would be 6.54 dwelling units per net acre (du/n), which is with the range (4 to 8 du/a) allowed by the R-8 zoning.

REPORT OF AUGUST 7, 2006 Em" '1mental Review Committee Staff Report LUA-05-147, PP, ECF Page 20f7 T ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND, CONTINUED As indicated in a preliminary geotechnical report (see Earth section, below) the majority of the site is currently forested. Those parts of the site to be developed for dwellings and surface water structures would be cleared of all vegetation. The applicant has submitted a conceptual landscaping plan. A final landscaping plan will be required indicating street frontage plantings in accordance with City code requirements. Two jurisdictional wetlands have been delineated on the site. The applicant has requested approval of wetland buffer averaging in order to create building pads on two lots that would be otherwise undevelopable. The wetlands, with their associated buffers, would be dedicated as a Native Growth Protection Area (NGPA). The area to be recorded as a NGPA easement is approximately 83,771 square feet in size. There is one 4,079 sq. ft. detention tract proposed at the southwest corner of the site. Access to the lots would be available from S. 34th Place, a new street built as part of the Cherie Lane (I) subdivision located south of adjacent to Cherie Lane II. Currently S. 34th Place terminates in a cul-de-sac, but should be available as a through street to Talbot Road South should development to the west occur in the future. As mentioned, a new subdivision (Cherie Lane I) is being constructed adjacent to the proposed plat on the south side of S. 34th Place. Completed homes have been developed recently to the east, fronting on S. Wells Street. The Winsper Subdivision, dating from the late 1990's abuts the site on the north. The property comprising Cherie Lane II was the result of a 1998 City of Renton-approved subdivision. II PART TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW In compliance with RCW 43.21 C.240, the following project environmental review addresses only those project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations. A. Recommendation Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials make the following Environmental Determination: DETERMINA TION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE Issue DNS with 14-day Appeal Period. B. Mitigation Measures x DETERMINATION OF NON -SIGNIFICANCE -MITIGA TED. Issue DNS-M with 14-day Appeal Period. Issue DNS-M with 15-day Comment Period with a Concurrent 14-day Appeal Period. 1. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations included in the geotechnical report, "Report - Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Services Cherie Lane II Residential Development," by Icicle Creek Engineers, dated July 22, 2005. 2. The applicant will be required to submit a wetland enhancement and restoration plan as mitigation for wetland buffer compensation. Such plan must be approved prior to recording of the final plat. 3. The project shall comply with the 2005 King County Surface Water DeSign Manual for both detention (Conservation Flow Control -Level 2) and water quality facilities. 4. The applicant shall be required to plant a minimum of seventeen (17) trees (not including trees required for front setback landscaping, street trees, and trees planted as part of the wetland buffer compensation) as mitigation for trees removed from the site for development. C. Environmental Impacts The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following probable impacts: Cherie Lane II ERC Report (rev 2).doc City of Renton PIBIPW Department CHERIE LANE /I PRELIMINARY PLJ..._ REPORT OF AUGUST 7, 2006 1. Earth Envir ,..,ental Review Committee Staff Report LUA-05-147, PP, ECF Page 30f7 Impacts: The topography of the portion of the site that would be developed has a vertical change of about 40 feet as it slopes toward the southwest from the northeast corner. The average grade is approximately 8 percent. The steepest area is at the rear of Lots 4 and 5 where the grade is about 16 percent. No sensitive slopes that would require mitigation are present on the site. A geotechnical study (see below) included excavation to between nine and fifteen feet at four locations across the site. Subsurface conditions, below the 0.5 deep topsoil layer, were deemed suitable for the proposed construction. Cuts and fills should be five feet or less to create building pads and access to garages by driveways from S. 34th Place. Although there are three wetlands on the site (see "Water," below), no groundwater was observed in the test pits. A geotechnical analysis, "Report -Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Services Cherie Lane" Residential Development," by Icicle Creek Engineers, dated July 22,2005, was provided by the project applicant. The Report addressed surface and subsurface conditions, site preparation and earthwork, structural fill and fill placement, foundation support, the proposed storm water detention vault, and erosion control and drainage considerations. The Report makes specific recommendations regarding site preparation and building construction. The applicant would be required to follow the recommendations of the geotechnical report as a condition of approval. Mitigation Measures: The applicant will be required to comply with the recommendations included in the geotechnical report, "Report -Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Services Cherie Lane" Residential Development," by Icicle Creek Engineers, dated July 22, 2005. Nexus: RMC 4-4-060, "Grading, Excavation and Mining Regulations 2. Air Impacts: It is anticipated that some adverse air quality impacts would be associated with site work and building construction required to develop this property. Project development impacts during construction include dust resulting from grading, exhaust from construction vehicles, odors from roofing installation, and roadway paving. Dust would be controlled through the use of temporary erosion control measures and the sprinkling of the site with water as needed. Odor impacts during construction are unavoidable and would be short-term in nature. Post development impacts potentially include vehicle and heating system exhaust. These emissions are regulated by state and federal agencies. Nor further site specific mitigation for the identified impacts from exhaust is required. Mitigation Measures: None required Nexus: Not applicable 3. Wetlands Impacts: There have been three known wetland delineations of the site in the past decade. In 1996, a wetland delineation was prepared by B-12 Associates. A report by AlderNW, dated March 2,2006, was submitted by the applicant. The City, in order to verify the AlderNW report, retained The Watershed Company to provide a letter report, which is dated May 3, 2006. The B-12 report was used prior to the 1998 subdivision of the property. This delineation is not currently accurate. Development in the vicinity may have caused some changes to the wetland environment, or there may have been inaccuracies in the B-12 delineation, as has been speculated in The Watershed report. A utility line (possibly an eight-inch Soos Creek sanitary sewer line) has been located through the center of the two primary wetlands, as delineated by B-12. Also, clearing of vegetation and excavation of test pits, within the wetland, for the before mentioned geotechnical investigation has added to the degradation of the wetlands. Cherie Lane II ERC Report (rev 2).doc City of Renton PIBIPW Department. CHERIE LANE /I PRELIMINARY f REPORT OF AUGUST 7, 2006 En 1mental Review Committee Staff Report LUA-05-147, PP, ECF Page 40f7 The AlderNW delineation of Wetlands 'A' and 'B' was verified by The Watershed Company as accurate. Wetland 'C' was determined by Watershed to be more extensive in its southwest corner than shown by AlderNW. Possibly based on this information, two lots intended for residential development were eliminated from the proposed subdivision. It appears from the Watershed sketch map (not surveyed) that the larger wetland area and at least fifty percent of its buffer would now be outside of the development area for the project. There is sufficient area on tax lot 292305-9040 for wetland buffer averaging, including what would be necessary for an expanded Wetland 'C'. Approval of buffer averaging, for reduced buffer dimensions, has been requested by the applicant. Wetland buffer areas to be graded equal 11,907 sq. ft. and proposed compensation area is 17, 188 sf. The applicant will be required to create wetland buffer areas on a one-to-one ratio, at a minimum, to compensate for wetland buffers to be filled for development. A conceptual wetland mitigation plan has been submitted, but will require revision to include additional restoration areas to compensate for the increased buffer averaging mitigation. Mitigation Measures: The applicant will be required to submit a wetland enhancement and restoration plan as mitigation for wetland buffer compensation. Such plan must be approved prior to recording of the final plat. Nexus: SEPA Regulations, Renton Municipal Code 4-3-050, "Critical Areas Regulations." 4. Stormwater Impacts: The applicant submitted a "Preliminary Technical Information Report," by Schweikl and Associates, PLLC, dated October, 2005. The speCifications of the report conform to the detention and water quality standards as delineated in the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM). On-site drainage improvements will include curbs, gutters, catch basins, vaults, and pipe network for collection of surface water runoff. A wetland recharge analysiS may be required during the final engineering design stage to determine if roof drains should be used to recharge the wetland area. The applicant has proposed installing an underground detention and water quality vault to address Level 2 Flow Control detention requirements. A downstream analysis indicated that a downsizing of pipe in the conveyance system east of Talbot Road may cause stormwater to overtop Talbot Road during a 100 year storm event. Indications are that no damage to residential structures or infrastructure would result however. Flow control at the proposed project site would prevent an increase in discharge to the existing downstream conveyance system. Mitigation Measures: This project shall be subject to the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual for both detention (Conservation Flow Control -Level 2) and water quality facilities. Nexus: SEPA Regulations 5. Streets and Transportation Impacts: The two parcels of the project site are divided by a dedicated right-of-way for S. 34th Street. Access to the stormwater facility and 6 residential lots, however, would be from the existing street abutting the south property line, S. 34th Place. Improvements to the north side of S. 34th Place will be required, including widening of the street to the full 42 foot right-of-way including 32 feet of road pavement, 5 foot wide sidewalks, curb, gutter, and street lighting. The applicant will be required to pay a Transportation Impact Fee to offset the cost of road construction and maintenance. The fee is based on $75 per trip and 9.57 trips per residence and must be paid prior to recording of the final plat. Mitigation Measures: None.

Mitigation Measures: None. Nexus: N/A 6. Parks & Recreation Impacts: The proposed development is anticipated to generate future demand on existing and future City parks, recreational facilities, and programs. The applicant will be required to pay park mitigation fees prior to the recording of the final plat. Mitigation Measures: None Nexus: N/A 7. Vegetation & Wildlife Impacts: The site is largely forested with second growth evergreen and deciduous trees. This environment, in spite of increasing urbanization, probably provides habitat for various wildlife species. Mammals such as deer, raccoon, skunk, squirrel, rabbit, and coyote utilize similar habitats and may live or forage onsite. No threatened, protected, or endangered mammal or avian species are known to be on site however. The applicant proposes to clear the southern of existing trees and vegetation outside of protected wetland and buffer areas, to accommodate grading for roads and building site preparation. A tree inventory submitted by the applicant indicates approximately 67 "protected" trees (8" caliper or larger measured at 4.5 feet above grade) will be removed. This count does not include populus or alnus species, trees in wetlands or wetland buffers, or trees of any type smaller than 8" caliper. Deciduous trees proposed to be removed include maple (40) and ash (14). Protected evergreens proposed to be removed include cedar (9) and fir (4). Renton Municipal Code requires the retention of protected trees during development. Twenty-five percent of protected trees must be retained. For the West Coast preliminary plat, 25% of the protected trees would be 17 trees to be retained. Four protected trees within the buffer of Wetland 'A' may be retained. If protected trees cannot be retained, the replacement ratio is 1 :1. Therefore, 17 trees will need to be planted on site. Replacement trees must be a minimum 2 inches in caliper at 4.5 feet above grade. All pervious areas of the subdivision are required to be landscaped, including front and side yards of residential lots, detention tracts and open space. The Renton Municipal Code requires that two street trees be provided for each residential lot, located in front of the primary structure. Consistent with RMC 4-10-11 OA, the applicant will also be required to provide 5 feet of landscaping along the frontages of NE 4th Street, Hoquiam Ave, and the internal plat roads (see Streets and Transportation section, above). The site clearing, loss of vegetated habitat, and subsequent provision of landscaping and street trees is typical for urbanizing areas, as the resulting subdivided lots are not large enough to feasibly retain significant numbers of trees or other native vegetation while accommodating the proposed residential development. The required landscaping and street trees will provide aesthetic appeal for the post-development neighborhood and adjacent street frontages, and buffer established nearby neighborhoods from the new development. Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall be required to plant a minimum of seventeen (17) trees (not including trees required for front setback landscaping, street trees, and trees planted as part of the wetland buffer compensation) as mitigation for trees removed from the site for development.

These improvements will be installed at the developer's cost. Civil plans must be prepared by a registered professional engineer in the State of Washington and shall meet City standards. 4. Per the City of Renton Fire Marshall all single family structures beyond 500 feet on a dead end roadway are required to be sprinklered. 5. All plats are required by City code to provide a fire hydrant with a minimum fire flow requirement of 1,000 GPM within 300 feet of any proposed single-family structure. This distance is measured along a travel route. If the proposed single-family structures exceed 3,600 square feet, the minimum fire flow increases to 1,500 GPM and requires two hydrants within 300 feet of the structure. Additional fire hydrants may be required as a part of this project to meet this criterion. The fire hydrants must meet all current city of Renton standards. 6. Lateral spacing of fire hydrants shall be predicated on hydrants being located at street intersections. 7. System Development Charges (SDC) are $1956 per new unit. These fees are collected at the time a construction permit is issued and prior to recording the short plat. Plan Review -Sewer 1. Although the Soos Creek District will have the final review and approval the City still needs to see the sewer on the engineering design plans. Plan Review -Street Improvements and Transportation 1. The project needs to install street improvements including curb, gutter, sidewalk, and street lighting all to City of Renton standards across the full frontage of the parcel being developed if not existing. 2. S 34th PI shall be widened to the full 42' right-of-way with 32' of pavement and 5' sidewalks. 3. Projects that are 5 to 20 residential lots in size are required to install street lights per City of Renton plans and specifications along the full frontage of the parcel being developed and on the new public right-of-way. Private street lighting systems are not allowed .. ---:> 4. All lot corners at intersections of dedicated public rights-of-way shall have a minimum radius of fifteen feet. 5. All new electrical, phone, and cable services and lines must be undergrounded. The construction of these franchise utilities must be inspected and approved by a City of Renton public works inspector prior to recording the plat. 6. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Traffic Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each new average daily trip associated with the project prior to the recording of the final plat.

I July 26, 2006 Elizabeth Higgins, AICP Senior Planner Development Services Division 1055 S Grady Way Renton, W A 98055 Re: Cherie Lane II Preliminary Plat LUA05-147. PP, ECF Dear Ms. Higgins, I would like to have the City include the following mitigation measures if the Cherie Lane II project proceeds: • All construction of facilities that will be turned over to the City of Renton should . '.' . be constructed to the same standards as those facilities constructed by the City and the City's p\1blic works staff. For example, a walk-through ofthe Cherie Lane I project will show that curbs and sidewalks are poorly constructed, storm drain grates do not comply with City standards, and manhole and other castings located within the street are improperly built to approximate final pavement elevation instead of being adjusted to final grade after paving is complete. • Driveways and curb ramps must comply with current ADA standards. Neither Cherie Lane I nor any of the adjacent (new) subdivisions have driveways that meet ADA. It is my understanding that since· the City receives federal funds all construction in the public right of way must meet those standards. , • 'j .' • Erosion control measures at Cherie Lane I are abysmal. For example, the catch basins have riever'beeri maintained thus allowing seqiment to enter into receiving waters. The developer should be required to certify, on a weekly basis; that their erosion control measUres comply\vith CitY ahd' State ·requirements. Thedev~J:oper. and their contractor must be required to submit a Construction SWPPP in . conformance with DOE requirements. Because of the many abu~es found in . Cherie Lane I;'tne' abbreviated SWPPP allowed in the DOE regulations for'smail construction projects· should not be allowed; . ' • Wash water from concrete trucks should not be allowed to be washed into adjacent native areas as is the case at Cherie Lane I. Wash water from exposed aggregate driveways should not be allowed to flow into the new storm drain Cherie Lane II Perteet Letter . . :··.f ~ I 1 7/26/2006 Page -1 of2 , j system as has been the case at Cherie Lane I. Best management practices should be followed. The following is downloaded for the Washington State DOE website: Design and Installation Specifications: • Concrete truck chutes, pumps, and internals shall be washed out only into formed areas awaiting installation of concrete or asphalt. • Unused concrete remaining in the truck and pump shall be returned to the originating batch plant for recycling. • Hand tools including, but not limited to, screeds, shovels, rakes, floats, and trowels shall be washed off only into formed areas awaiting installation of concrete or asphalt. • Equipment that cannot be easily moved, such as concrete pavers, shall only be washed in areas that do not directly drain to natural or constructed stormwater conveyances. • Washdown from areas such as concrete aggregate driveways shall not drain directly to natural or constructed stormwater conveyances .. • When no formed areas are available, washwater and leftover product shall be contained in a lined container. Contained concrete shall be disposed of in a manner that does not violate groundwater or surface water quality standards. Because of the poor pavement condition on S 32nd Street, this street should be specifically excluded from use as a haul route for any and all truck traffic to and from the site. Construction of Cherie Lane I significantly deteriorated the street, and no more construction traffic should be allowed. I have attached several photographs taken of the Cherie Lane I construction activity that illustrates many of the above points. Additionally, I wish to attend and testify at the September 5, 2006 hearing.

Weaver, ACIP Senior Planner City of Renton 1055 South Grady Way Renton, Washington 98055 Project: Cherie Lane 11-.,,"Project No.: 05043 RE: S. 34th Street Vacation -Explanation of Public Benefit Dear Keri, 1945 S. 375th S~t Federal Way. WA 98003 Phone: (253) 81 5-1700 Fax: (252) 815-170 I The purpose of this letter is to provide the Explanation of Public Benefit for our proposed vacation of the S. 34th Street public right-of-way (ROW) from the Wells Ave S. westerly boundary to the western boundary of the plat of Cherie Lane II. Originally the Stiegman Short Plat (LUA-98~026-SHPL, the underlying short plat) dedicated the S. 34ili Street public right-of-way between Lot 8 and Tract "A" of the short plat with the restrictive covenant (File No. LUA-98-026, SHPL-H, ECF), which required the installation of full ROW improvements. We had provided Mr. Neil Watts, Development Services Administrator, with a Future ROW Improvement Conside~tion paper dated October 25, 2005 that analyzed if the required S. 34th Street ROW improvement was currently the most beneficial ROW to be developed in light of the passage of five plus years and the approval of the plat of Cherie Lane I. The paper was reviewed by Neil and his decision was that the plat of Cherie Lane II would not be required to install full ROW street infrastructure and that the best public ROW extension westward would be from the new S. 34th Place ROW developed within the Cherie Lane I project. The proposal' to vacate the unopened/undeveloped portion of S. 34th Street public ROW would be to the best interests of the public for the following reasons; 1 • The existing S. 34th Street unopened right-of-way is encumbered by wetlands and wetlands buffers. The S. 34th Place right-of-way and street improvements within the plat of Cherie Lane I are under construction or completed at this point in time and by designating it as the preferred alternative for extension will preserve the integrity of the wetlands and their associated buffers in the vicinity. • The addition of the improvements to the un-opened public right-of-way S. 34th Street right-of-way would provide a redundant public street to the west boundary of Cherie Lane I and II in extremely close proximity. The extension of the two public ROW's to Talbot Road S. would create ,a situation that would not meet the intersection spacing requirements for the Talbot Road S. road classification. Adding S. 34th Street improveme~ts for our project alone would add approximately 19,851 square fee! of'new impervious surface and associated stormwater detention system volume and displace wetlands and wetland buffers. This would also increase the City of Renton's long term Street Maintenance budget requirements with this stretch of improved S. 34th Street ROW servicing potential two single family residences. The vacation of the S. 34th Street ROW therefore affords the pUblic with the lowest cost to benefit ratio While maintaining future transportation capabilities • During our site plan development phase we obtained the site plans for two preliminary plats that have been proposed for parcels to the west of Cherie Lane I and II that indicate that neither of the two proposals intended to connect to the existing unopened S. 34th Street ROW. Both preliminary proposals were utilizing the extension of the S. 34th Place (Cherie Lane I) ROW to access Talbot Road S. Therefore the potential future development of the surrounding area by interested private party's is better based upon the S. 34th Street ROW extension and would allow for the vacation of the S. 34th Street with no loss of service to future developing parcels. • The existing S. 34th Place (Cherie Lane I) ROW is currently aligned along a corridor that has two existing parcel access pipe stems, easements and existing storm drainage, sanitary sewer and power distribution infrastructure already in the ground. This aCcess is currently being utilized as the primary access to the majority of the undeveloped parcels to the west of the plats of Cherie Lane I & II. Therefore there would be little impact to access patterns to the existing parcels and the public could benefit from the utilization of the existing utilities already installed along the alignment. The extension of the unopened S. 34th Street ROW would create a situation that would be dividing the two parcels directly to the west of Cherie Lane II in half and create a tier of substandard lots with improper lot depths. This alternative would also pass through two existing single-family structures and encroach upon two more single-family structures to the west above Talbot Road S. Therefore the would be less impact existing public owner properties and infrastructure and less financial burden upon the taxpayers if the S. 34t1i Street (Cherie Lane II) ROW has vacated and the S. 34th Place (Cherie 'Lane 2 I) ROW be future east-west connection to Talbot Road S. • If the plat of Cherie Lane II develops as proposed there would be seven of the nine proposed lots fronting off of the S. 34th Place (Cherie Lane n right-of-way. If the City were to require the improvement of the S. 34th Street right-of-way it . would create a situation whereby potentially seven lots would have two public minor street frontages which is not a preferred condition. Therefore it would be beneficial to the public and the people residing in the proposed residential structures to have the properties have a single access frontage for safety and security concerns and therefore a higher property/property tax value. • The City of Renton will also receive compensation for the vacated ROW that would otherwise not be available to the public if the Cherie Lane II were required to develop the ROW. ! In summary we believe that the vacation of the unopened S. 34th Street ROW is in the best long term benefit of the public without impacting future transportation capabilities and that the vacation should be approved.

The location of the subject parcel is shown on the attached Vicinity Map (Figure 1). The purpose of our work was to identify the limits of the wetland areas on and immediately adjacent to the subject property. We have also reviewed Site Development plans prepared by In conducting our site wetland evaluation, we followed the general procedures for the routine on-site methodology as outlined in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (March 1997). This procedure involves analysis of vegetation patterns, soil conditions, and near-surface hydrology in making a determination of wetland conditions. Our scope of work included site visits in April, 2005 to complete the wetland evaluation and flag the limits of the site wetlands and in October, 2005 to review site conditions for preparation of this report. We had also made a preliminary site visit in May, 2004. The flagged wetland points have been surveyed and plotted on project maps as shown on project design plans by Schweikl and Associates, and on the Site Map (Figure 2). WETLAND EVALUATION PROCEDURES For the purpose of this study, we used the wetland definition adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers (COE) for administering Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. According to this definition, wetlands are: "Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas." (33 CFR 323) 518 North 59th Street, Seattle, Washington 98103-Phone (206)783-1036 email aldernw@comcast.net Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 In Washington State, the Shoreline Management Act and Growth Management Act have amended this definition to exclude some wetland situations by adding the following sentences to the wetland definition: Wetlands do not include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non-wetland sites, including but not limited to, irrigation and drainage ditches, grass-lined swales, canals, detention facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, farm ponds, and landscape amenities, or those wetlands created after July 1, 1990, that were intentionally created as a result of the construction of a road, street or Highway. We~lands may include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non- wetland areas to mitigate the conversion of wetlands. Delineation procedures are based on diagnostic environmental indicators of wetland vegetation, wetland soils, and wetland hydrology. These procedures, outlined in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (March 1997) are commonly known as a Triple Parameter Method. By definition, an area is designated as wetland when there are positive indicators for all three parameters. A listing of plant species has been developed for use in the methodology for delineating wetland areas. This listing assigns plant species to one of five indicator status categories ranging from Obligate wetland species, which almost always occur in wetlands, to Upland species, which rarely occur in wetlands. Under nonnal conditions, hydrophytic vegetation is determined to be present if more than 50 percent of the dominant species are in the Obligate (OBL), Facultative Wetland (FACW), or Facultative (FAC) indicator categories. Diagnostic indicators of hydric soils are related to soil saturation, which leads to anaerobic conditions in the soil. Under these conditions, decomposition of organic material is inhibited and soil minerals are reduced, creating characteristic soil colors that can be quantified by comparison with Munsell Soil Color Charts. A chroma of one or less in unmottled soils or a chroma of two or less in mottled soils generally indicates a hydric soil. In addition, soils that are saturated during the growing season satisfy a criterion for hydric soils. We used a hand auger and or shovel to collect soil samples from depths of 8 to 18 inches, or below the A horizon. Wetland hydrology is defined as inundated or saturated soil conditions for at least 14 consecutive days during the growing season. If no water is present at the time of evaluation, other indicators may include topographic low points or channels, flood debris, complete absence of vegetation, or presence of hydric soils. GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS The subject property is an approximately 2.7 acre property located in the 3400 block of Wells Avenue South in the City of Renton, as shown on Figure l. South 34th Street right-of-way runs through the middle of the property. At present the property is undeveloped. Adjacent properties to the east and north of the project are occupied by existing single family residences of the Winsper development. A new residential development, Cherie Lane is under construction on the property to the south. The site is occupied by a mixed conifer-deciduous forest stand of composed of mostly deciduous trees. Oregon ash (Fraxinus latifolia), red alder (Alnus rubra) black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), and big leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) are the common deciduous trees species on the property. Western red cedar (Thuja plicata) is the Project No. 20104 Page No. 2 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 common conifer tree present on the property. Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), snowberry (Symphoricarpos alba), hazelnut (Corylus comuta), and Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor) are common shrub species present. There are existing sanitary sewer and storm drain pipes following the alignment of the South 34th Street alignment across the property. These pipe lines were installed sometime after 1996. Construction of the pipelines resulted in disturbance to the site in an approximately 30ft wide strip, in an east west orientation through the property. Soils across the property and on much of the surrounding area are mapped as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (Soil Survey of King County, Washington, U.S. Soil Conservation Service, 1973). The Alderwood series is made up of moderately well-drained soils that have a weakly to strongly consolidated substratum at depths of between 24 and 40 inches. The National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils does not list the Alderwood series as a hydric soil although wetland conditions are common in depressional areas within Alderwood soil units. There has been coal mining activity on properties to the south. There may have been some work related to the coal mining activity on the subject property. Surface soils at some locations on the property show evidence of the past activity, and include some coal mine tailings. Our site observations are not consistent with the Alderwood soil type descriptions. The past mining activity may explain the differences where present. Topographically, the property generally slopes down from about elev. 220 along the eastern property line to the low point of about elev. 182 on the southwest property comer. WETLAND AREAS We have identified the limits of three wetland areas on the property as shown on the Site Map (Figure 2). A previous study dated September 24, 1996, by B-twelve Associates, Inc. identified two wetland areas on the property. The configuration of the wetlands identified in their report is similar to that identified during the recent work. Over the nine years since their study was completed there has been considerable new development adjacent to the subject property and the construction of the sanitary sewer and storm drain pipe lines across the property. This work has apP(1.rently affected surface and subsurface drainage patterns on the property, resulting in change in the wetland configuration. Wetland A with an area of approximately 6,230sq.ft. is located across the east end of the property. Wetland B is a small area near the south property line and west of the south end of Wetland A. Wetland C with an area of approximately 14,000sq.ft is the largest of the site wetlands. Each of the site wetlands is an isolated area with no defined surface inlet or outlet. Wetland A Wetland A is an isolated wetland located on the east end of the property. Vegetation within the wetland includes an overstory black cottonwood and western red cedar. Understory shrub species include salmonberry, Himalayan blackberry, and red osier dogwood (Comus stolonifera). Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), soft rush (Juncus effosus), and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) are herbaceous species within the wetland. Using the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetland classification system (Cowardin et al., 1979), the wetland is designated as a palustrine forest wetland habitat. Project No. 20104 Page No. 3 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 Hydrologically this wetland is supported by seepage into the northeast end of the area. At the time of observations in April, 2005, there was surface drainage entering the wetland from the existing development to the east. This surface water moved south through the wetland and dissipated over the south end of the area. It is our interpretation that the wetland would satisfy the criteria for designation as a City of Renton Category 2 wetland. The standard buffer for a category 2 wetland in the City of Renton is 50ft. Wetland B Wetland B is a very small isolated wetland of less than 1,000sq.ft, located along the south property line. It is situated within a shallow depression with no defined inlet or outlet. During an initial site visit in April, 2005, soils within the wetland were saturated to near the surface although there was no standing surface water present. Vegetation within the wetland includes black cottonwood and Oregon ash forming a canopy over the wetland, with red osier dogwood and Himalayan blackberry as shrub cover. Herbaceous species present include reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) and other grasses, soft rush (Juncus effusus), and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens). It is our interpretation that the wetland would satisfy the criteria for designation as a City of Renton Category 3 wetland. As a small isolated wetland of less than 2,200sq.ft. the area can be filled, if mitigation is provided. Mitigation can be provided with storm water treatment and or landscaping. Mitigation for filling Wetland B is being partially provided by the storm water treatment system for the project. Additional mitigation for the habitat area of the wetland and buffer is being provided in the buffer averaging design whereby an additional approximately 2,457sq.ft of upland habitat area is being set aside form development beyond that which would be provided with the uniform 50ft buffer. WetlandC Wetland C is the largest of the site wetlands, having an area of approximately 14,000sq.ft. It is located on the northwest corner of the property. Vegetation within the wetland includes Oregon ash, black cottonwood and some western red cedar (Thuja plicata) trees. Understory shrub vegetation includes Himalayan blackberry, snowberry and, salmonberry. Herbaceous vegetation includes, reed canary grass soft rush. Using the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetland classification system (Cowardin et al., 1979), the wetland is designated as a palustrine forest wetland habitat. Hydrologically, the area is supported by groundwater seepage. The interior topography is somewhat hummocky, creating scattered low areas. At the time of our observations in April, 2005, there was shallow surface water in isolated depressions. There is no defined surface inlet or outlet for the wetland. It is our interpretation that the wetland would satisfy the criteria for designation as a City of Renton Category 2 wetland. The standard buffer for a category 2 wetland in the City of Renton is 50ft. Project No. 20104 Page No. 4 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 Previous Wetland Study ) There have been two previous wetland studies addressing wetlands on the Cherie Lane North project and in the immediate vicinity. These include a study by B-12 Associates, Inc. dated September 24, 1996, which included the subject property and a study by AlderNW dated November 13, 2003, for the Cherie Lane I project immediately to the south. Field work for the B-12 project was completed in April, 1996, and field work for the Cherie Lane project to the south was completed in April and October, 2003. Field work for the Cherie Lane North project was completed in April and October of 2004. The wetland limits as identified by these studies are illustrated on Figure 4 (Wetland Limits). As illustrated on Figure 3, the wetland limits on the Cherie Lane North property have undergone changes since the original was completed by B-12 Associates in the spring of 1996. Seven years elapsed after the B-12 Associates work before the Cherie Lane field work was conducted, and eight years elapsed before the Cherie Lane North field work was completed. Over that time period there have been significant changes affecting site drainage patterns within the property boundaries and on the adjacent properties. The identified wetlands are supported in large part by near surface groundwater seepage With some contribution from surface water flows. Soils within the wetlands are typically a clay loam which is relatively impermeable. Wetland hydrology in the site wetlands can be characterized as near surface groundwater seepage and surface water movement into the upslope side of the wetland where it flows across the relatively impermeable soils. Surface water in the wetland dissipates through evapotranspiration and slow infiltration. Surface water is retained within the wetland in shallow depressions. As noted in the B-12 report, the subject property and wetlands had been subject to disturbance from past coal mine activities. This was also noted in the wetland report for the Cherie Lane project to the south. With this history of site disturbance, near surface hydrology and drainage patterns across the site have been undergoing change. Drainage patterns had been altered on the Cherie Lane property and on the Cherie Lane North property by construction of roads and activities related to the past mining. Since the B-12 Associates field work Was completed, there have been continuing alterations to the site and upslope areas. Immediately to the east of the subject property, new homes have been constructed. This work involved grading to create building pads and installation of drain lines around the homes. In addition, the sanitary sewer and storm drain line have been construc~ along the unconstructed South 34th Street alignment running from east to west across the property. These construction activities on and adjacent to the property will have the effect of changing drainage patterns onto and across the property. The level of groundwater reaching the site wetlands likely has been reduced. A typical effect of the construction of ditch lines for sanitary sewers and storm drains is to create subsurface drainage patterns along the bottom of the ditches, and to limit the movement of groundwater laterally across the ditch line. This would have the effect of reducing groundwater support to the site wetlands. With surface water being collected in the storm water treatment system, the level of surface water reaching site wetlands is likewise altered: Surface water runoff reaching the site is affected in terms of the location of discharge and in terms of the timing of discharges. Project No. 20104 Page No.5 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 The study completed for the Cherie Lane project to the south did not identify wetlands extending northward from the Cherie Lane project onto the Cherie Lane North property. South 34th Place has recently been constructed along the north property line for the Cherie Lane project (off the south property line of Cherie Lane North). Wetlands in general and in particular wetlands within developing urban landscapes are dynamic systems. It should be expected that changes in wetland size and position can and will occur over a seven year period. The general pattern of the site wetlands is similar between the 1996 study and the current study for Cherie lane North, although the extent of the wetlands is reduced. The extent Wetlands A and C on Cherie Lane North is consistent with the Cherie Lane study. WILDLIFE HABITAT We have completed a wildlife and habitat evaluation of the project area, The purpose of our work was to document the existing site conditions to identify habitats and potential wildlife use of the property. This work was undertaken to determine if there are critical habitats on the property which would be subject to regulation under Renton City Code which identifies critical habitats as: ":those habitat areas which meet any of the following criteria: i. The documented presence of species proposed or listed by the federal government or State of Washington as endangered, threatened, sensitive, monitor, or priority; and/or ii. The presence of heron rookeries or raptor nesting areas; and/or. iii. Category 1 wetlands (refer to subsection B7b(i) of this Section for classification criteria); and/or iv. Portions of streams and their shorelines designated in the Renton Shoreline Master Program, RMC 4-3-090, as Conservancy or Natural (refer to the Renton Shoreline Master Program). c. Mapping: i. Critical habitats are identified by lists, categories and definitions of species promulgated by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (Non-game Data System Special Animal Species) as identified in WAC 232-12-011; in the Priority Habitat and Species Program of the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife; or by rules and regulations adopted currently or hereafter by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. ii. Referenced inventories and maps are to be used as guides to the general location and extent of critical habitat. Critical habitat which is identified in subsection B5b of this Section, but not shown on the referenced inventories and maps, are presumed to exist in the City and are also protected under all the provisions of this section. iii. The actual presence or absence of the criteria listed above as determined by qualified professionals, shall govern the treatment of an individual building site or parcel of land requiring compliance with these regulations." During the course of site visits to complete the wetland site evaluation we also made notes regarding observation of wildlife species observed on the site. Project No. 20104 Page No. 6 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 '--... ,..- ) I The subject property is occupied by one general vegetation cover type. Lowland mixed forest is the predominant vegetation cover type across the property. This cover type is based on the habitat categories listed in the King County Wildlifo Study Guidelines for SEPA (1993). Similar categories are listed and described in the King County Wildlifo Habitat Profile (1987). The majority of the property is occupied by second or third growth mixed forest with variation in the relative cover by conifers and deciduous trees. The forest cover on the southern portion of the property is generally dominated by deciduous trees primarily black cottonwood and Oregon ash.. On the northern section of the property trees present include western red cedar. Wildlife We have prepared a listing of wildlife species (Table I) observed or likely to be present on the property. This listing is based on species occurrences noted in King County Wildlifo Habitat Profile (1987) and on personal experience. Amphibians and Reptiles Other than the Pacific chorus frog (Pseudacris regil/a), no amphibians were observed during our site visits. These species are generally inactive during fall and winter and are most frequently encountered during spring and summer. The cover types on this property, particularly the forested wetland and adjacent second-growth forest, should provide habitat for several other species of amphibians. The most likely species are the northwestern salamander (Ambystoma gracile) and long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum). The presence of amphibians on the site is limited by the absence of areas of standing water which might provide br~.eding habitat for amphibians. I The most likely reptiles to be found in the habitats available on this property at~ the northern alligator lizard (Elgaria coerulea) and garter snakes (Thamnophis spp.). Table 1 lists other amphibians and reptiles that could be expected in the habitats present on this site. The species listed in Table 1 are based on tables provided by King County (1987) for the habitats described above and on our evaluation of the existing site conditions. Birds Because of their high levels of daytime activity and vocalizations, birds are the most commonly encountered group of vertebrates. Some of the commonly observed species on the site were the black-capped chickadee (Parus atricappilus), American robin (Turdus migratorius), winter wren (Troglodytes troglodytes), and song sparrow (Melospiza melodia). A large number of migratory songbirds including flycatchers, warblers, and vireos are expected on this site during the breeding season. The most likely raptors to use this site are the great homed owl (Bubo virginianus), Cooper's hawk (ACCipiter cooperi), and red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis). Table I lists other bird species expected in the habitats available on this property. Mammals Most mammals tend to be secretive and nocturnal, and our observations reflect a relatively small proportion of species that may actually exist on the subject property. We observed coyote (Canis latrans) scat on trails around the Project No. 20104 Page No. 7 Mr. Steve. Beck March 2, 2006 property. A large nest, probably built by an eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), was located in the deciduous forest near the north side of the property. Other common mammals that are likely to be present on the site include opossum (Didelphis virginiana), deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), and raccoon (Procyon 1010r). Several species of bats are also likely to be present in these habitats during the summer. Table I lists other mammal species expected to occur in the habitats available on this site. Threatened. Endangered. or Sensitive nES) Species Critical Habit Two wildlife species included on Washington State listings ofTES could be found on or in the vicinity of the subject property. These include the Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocepha/us), and pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus). Neither of these species is listed as threatened in the state of Washington. The closest aquatic habitat which might support either bull trout or Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), is in May Creek approximately 2 miles north of the property. Honey Creek where it is present within the wetland along the east side of the project does not include habitat for either Chinook salmon or bull trout. Bald eagles are found throughout the Puget Sound region. They are most commonly observed along lake or river shores although they may be found foraging over a large area and may roost in larger trees away from bodies of water. No bald eagles were observe on or near the project site. The project site is away from any large bodies of water where they would be likely to build nests. Pileated woodpeckers generally inhabit mature and old-growth forests, or second-growth forests with sufficient large snags and fallen trees (Rodrick and Milner 1991). Pileated woodpeckers are also reported to use open woodlands, parks, and wooded suburbs (Ehrlich et al. 1988) and are regularly seen in those habitats in King County. They excavate cavities in snags or large dead branches for nesting and usually make a new nest cavity every year. Nest snags are usually greater than 27 inches in diameter and taller than 87 feet. There are few large snags within the subject property which could be used by pileated woodpecker. During our site visits we did not note the presence of any individuals nor did we note any trees with characteristic pileated woodpecker foraging cavities. There is not extensive habitat area on the property or in the near vicinity which is suitable for pileated woodpecker foraging. Great blue herons are not included on the Washington State TES lists although the presence of heron rookeries is identified as a critical habitat in the City of Renton. No great blue herons were observed on the site during our site visits and there are no heron rookeries in the near vicinity of the project site. Herons are not likely to use the residential habitats on the property and in the near vicinity Red-tailed hawks are likewise not included on the Washington State TES lists although raptor nests are identified as critical habitat in the City of Renton. No red-tailed hawks were observed on or in the near vicinity of the property. Based on our review of existing site conditions it is our conclusion that there are no critical habitat areas as defined in the City of Renton codes, within or in near proximity to the Cherie Lane North project boundary. Project No. 20104 Page No. 8 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT -WETLAND IMPACTS It is proposed to develop the 2.7 acre property for construction of a 9 lot residential development as shown on project maps by Schweikl and Associates and on the Site Map (Figure 2). Access to the project will be provided from South 34th Place which has been partially completed as part of the Cherie Lane project along the south property line. With the exception of the small isolated Wetland B, the site wetlands will be set aside from development within designated Wetland Tracts. As designed, the project will not result in direct impacts to the preserved site wetlands. The tracts include the wetland areas with a minimum 25ft wide buffer, in accordance with provisions of the Renton City Code which allow buffer averaging. Buffer Width Averaging Buffer width averaging may be allowed in accordance with RMC where the following steps are taken: 1. That the wetland contains variations in ecological sensitivity or there are existing physical improvements in or near the wetland and buffer; and ii. That width averaging will not adversely impact the wetland function and values; and iii. That the total area contained within the wetland buffer after averaging is no less than that contained within the required standard buffer prior to averaging; and iv. A site specific evaluation and documentation of buffer adequacy based upon The Science of Wetland Buffers and Its Implications for the Management of Wetlands, McMillan 2000, or similar approaches have been conducted. The proposed buffer standard is based on consideration of the best available science as described in WAC 365-195-905; or where there is an absence of valid scientific information, the steps in RMC 4-9- 250F are followed. v. In no instance shall the buffer width be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) of the standard buffer or be less than twenty five feet (25ft) wide. Greater buffer width reductions require review as a variance per subsection N3 of this Section and RMC 4-9-250B; and vi. Buffer enhancement in the areas where the buffer is reduced shall be required on a case-by-case basis where appropriate to site conditions, wetland sensitivity, and proposed land development characteristics. vii. Notification may be required pursuant to subsection F8 of this Section. Wetland bufers are vegetated upland areas adjacent to and generally surrounding wetlands. As such buffers are they provide beneficial functions within the urbanizing landscape in their realtions hip to the the wetland and as upland habitat area. They provide beneficial functrions as an element of the preserved wetland and as preserved upland habitat. Project No. 20104 Page No. 9 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 Buffer averaging element (i.) Buffer averaging is being applied to Wetlands A and C. Both of these wetlands have been affected by past activities on and adjacent to the property. These include construction of the water and sanitary sewer lines across the property, construction of the existing residential developments to the north and south, and the development under construction to the south. These activities have involved clearing and grading activity within the wetlands and the buffers for the two wetlands. This past activity has affected the majority of the buffer area surrounding the site wetlands. The one section of the buffer which was minimally affected is on the north end of Wetland A which remains forested. This area is being preserved and expanded with the buffer averaging. Buffer averaging elements (ii, iii iv, v and vi) Buffers as an integral unit of the wetland system in urban environment in providing protection to the wetland habitat, and in providing what have been identified as "sink" and "source" functions. They act to provide protection to the wetland in the form of generating a physical barrier between human activity and the wetland. "Sink" functions are those that in effect absorb impacts before reaching the wetland. They serve to moderate water level fluctuations in the wetland; they to mediate chemical and physical impacts to the wetland from erosion, movement of sediments and pollutant into the wetland; and to moderate temperatue in the wetland. "Source" functions include the roles served to the wetland system to support wildlife habitat, provide biotic input to the wetland system, and for their role in mediating effects of human disturbance to wetland associated wildlife. These "sink" and "source" functions are related to the vegetative cover on the buffer, the total area of buffer habitat included, the width of the buffer, surrounding topography, and the level of development within the surrounding urban landscape. Existing residential development activity on and immediately adjacent to the subject property have affected the effectiveness of the wetland buffers. The buffer width has been reduced along the northeast comer of Wetland A. Construction of the waeter and sanitary sewer lines across the property have affected soil conditions and vegetative cover within a portion of Wetland A and the buffer for Wetland C. Additionally the site had been partially cleared in the past, reducing the forest canopy cover allowing the establishment of non native species incliding Himalayan blackberry and reed canarygrass. With buffer avaraging as being proposed for this project there will be no loss in total wetland buffer area maintained within the project. There will be a net increase in the total buffer area which would be provided with a uniform 50ft buffer, of approximaely 2,457sq.ft. With the provision of a somewhat larger habitat area being provided wihtin the two Wetland Tracts, there will be no significant reduction in the "source" buffer function. The preserved bUffers can effectively provide roles in maintaining wildlife habitat, and in providing biological support by way of maintaining input of nutrients and organic matter into the sytem. Project No. 20104 Page No. 10 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 This function within the developed project can be ffiaintained and enhanced with the implementation of buffer enhancement plantings as proposed for the project. As the vegetative cover on the buffer grows and matures the effectiveness in providing a physic3l barrier will be increased. This function can be further enhanced by the installation of fencing to limit encroachment into the designated wetland tracts. "Sink" functions to protect the wetland will be maintained in part by design of the storm water treatment system. This system can control the movement of stormwater into and through the wetland to minimize impacts on wetland hydrology. This system will likewise limit the movement of untreated run off into the wetlands. The proposed buffer averaging including enhancement plantings within the buffer can maintain a level of wetland and buffer function comparable to that which would be provided if a uniform 50ft buffer were provided within the residential development. New Water Line Construction A new water line is proposed to be constructed across the west side of the property. This water line is being constructed to satisfy water service requirements for this property and other residential developments in the area. Construction of the water line will involve temporary disturbance to approximately 3,030sq.ft. of the buffer for WetlandB. A vegetation restoration planting plan will be prepared when construction design plans are finalized for the project. This planting plan will include details on the number, spacing and species to be placed on the disturbed soils within the water line easement area. All plant materials to be included in the planting plan will be native to the area, and to the extent possible species selected will be those native species present on the property. Native trees and shrubs will be included. These plantings are intended to supplement natural regeneration and to accelerate the establishment of native shrub cover on the disturbed area. With the implementation of a restoration plan, the impacts from construction of the water line on the wetland buffer can be minimized to the extent possible and the disturbed areas returned to a stable condition, with native vegetative cover. A final restoration plan will be prepared and submitted for review as final development plans are prepared. The restoration plan will be implemented with the buffer enhancement plantings. Buffer Mitigation/Enhancement Planting Plan We have prepared a conceptual buffer mitigation/enhancement plan for the project. The general design intent of this plan is to increase the density of native trees and shrubs within the preserved buffer and to control the growth of non native invasive species including Himalayan blackberry, and reed canarygrass, among others included on the DOE listing of invasive species. Project No. 20104 Page No. 11 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 This conceptual plan is prepared to demonstrate the feasibility of construction the project to meet City of Renton requirements for preserving wetland and buffer function. A final plan will be prepared as final construction design plans are completed. The wetlandlbuffer enhancement plan involves four objectives: 1. Control the growth of invasive plants, including Himalayan blackberry and Scot's broom (Cytisus scoparius) and others as included on the DOE listing of non native invasive species. 2. Increase the overall cover of native trees and shrubs. 3. Increase the native plant species diversity. 4. Restore the area affected by water line construction. As final project design plans are prepared a final mitigation plan will be prepared. This plan will include details as required by the City of Newcastle. o Construction plan o Planting plan showing details of plant numbers, species and spacing o Monitoring methodology. Monitoring will be carried out over a period of five years following completion of the work o Standards of success for evaluating the success of the project in meeting project goals and objectives o Contingency plan We trust the information presented is sufficient for your current needs.

Valerie Kinast Arneta Henninger X7298 CHERIE LANE II SHORT PLAT PREAPPLICATION 05-094 S 34TH ST AND WEST OF WELLS AVE S NOTE ON PRELIMINARY REVIEW COMMENTS CONTAINED IN TmS REPORT: THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS ON DEVELOPMENT AND PERMITTING ISSUES ARE BASED ON THE PRE-APPLICATION SUBMITTALS MADE TO THE CITY OF RENTON BY THE. APPLICANT. THE APPLICANT IS CAUTIONED THAT INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS SUMMARY MAY BE SUBJECT TO MODIFICATION AND/OR CONCURRENCE BY OFFICIAL DECISION MAKERS (E.G. HEARING EXAMINER, BOARDS OF ADJUSTMENT, BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS AND CITY COUNCIL). REVIEW COMMENTS MAY ALSO NEED TO BE REVISED BASED ON SITE PLANNING AND OTHER DESIGN CHANGES REQUIRED BY THE CITY OR MADE BY THE APPLICANT. I have reviewed the preapplication'submittal for this 9 lot short plat located in Section 29, Twp. 23N Rng. 5E, and have the following comments. WATER • The proposed short plat is located in the City of Renton Water Service Area. • This site is not located in the City of Renton Aquifer Protection Zone. • This site is located in the City of Renton 350 and in the 490 Water Pressure Zones. • There is a new 8" watermain in S 34th PI currently under construction. A dead-end 8" watermain is capable of delivering 1250 GPM. See City of Renton water drawing W3190. • Per Renton fire code, any new single family-dwelling construction (not exceeding 3,600 square- feet of gross building area, including garage) must have a fire hydrant capable of delivering a minimum of 1,000 gpm fire within 300 feet of the structure. If the proposed single-family dwelling exceeds 3,600 square feet, the minimum fire flow increases to 1,500 GPM or higher and will require two hydrants within 300 feet of the structure, and each hydrant must be able to deliver 1,000 gpm. This distance is measured along a traveled roadway, access road and driveway from the hydrant(s) to the building. • Water service to this development will require an extension of the City's water system, including but not limited to the following: \Alta n" Li1lIt: L ~lIUIL r lilL rl t:ill'l'"\;illlUlI Page 2 . ~ .. : i ,., i,.,. .J\.. ,.", ~ • , ';~' i' . 1. A new 8-inch(minimum) water main within the new internal roadway (N 34th Si5!~c"th~]~h~rt !. :i' plat, with a connection to an existing 8-inch water line in Winsper (WI 892) on the.:.n,'?rt~ s.~d~ of the short plat and a connection to the main in Wells Ave S. The new 8-inch watef'line'will be able to provide about 2,500 gallon per minute (gpm) of fire flow. . '. '."" 2. New fire hydrants, domestic water service stubs according to City of Renton codes and standards. • These improvements will be installed at the developer's cost. Civil plans must be prepared by a registered professional engineer in the State of Washington and shall meet City's standards. • Per the City of Renton Fire Marshall all single family structures beyond 500 feet on a dead end roadway are required to be sprinklered. • The City of Renton Water System Development Charges of$I,105 per new single-family parcel will be required for this short plat. This fee must be paid prior to issuance of the construction permit for the preliminary short plat. SANITARY SEWER • This project site is not served by the City of Renton sanitary sewer system. • The applicant needs to contact the Soos Creek Sanitary Sewer District for availability, fees, plan review and permits. • Although the Soos Creek District will have the final review and approval the City still needs to see the sewer on the engineering design plans. STORM DRAINAGE • There are storm drainage structures in S34th PI, in Main Ave S and in Wells Ave S. • A conceptual drainage plan and drainage report shall be submitted with the preliminary short plat application for this project. The conceptual drainage plan is to include detention and water quality treatment for the fully built out short plat, including future houses, driveways and roadway improvements. The runoff from the new houses must be tightlined into the storm drainage system constructed for the preliminary short plat. The drainage plan is to be designed per the 2005 King County Surface Water Drainage Manual Conservation Flow Control. This is a condition on the short plat. • Surface Water System Development Charges of $715 per new single family parcel will be required for this short plat. This fee must be paid prior to issuance of the construction permit for the preliminary short plat. EROSION CONTROL MEASURES • All erosion control shall be per DOE. STREET IMPROVEMENTS • The project needs to install street improvements including curb, gutter, sidewalk and street lighting all to City of Renton standards across the full frontage of the parcel being developed if not existing. ~' , Cherie Lane 2 Short Plat Preapplication Page 3 • The new street interior to the short plat must be developed to City standards, which are 42' right-of-way, full 32' pavement width, with curbs, gutters, 5' sidewalks adjacent to curb and street lighting. A tum around to the satisfaction of Fire Department will be required. • S 34th PI shall be widened to the full 42' right-of-way with 32' of pavement and 5' sidewalks. • All street lighting shall be per City of Renton standards and specifications. Private street lighting systems (including PSE) are not allowed. • All new electrical, phone and cable services to the short plat must be undergrounded. Construction of these franchise utilities must be inspected and approved by a City of Renton public works inspector prior to recording of the short plat. • Traffic mitigation fees of approximately $75 per net new average daily trip will be required prior to recording of the short plat as a condition of the short plat. Fire mitigation and Parks mitigation fees must also be paid prior to recording of the short plat. GENERAL • All required utility, drainage and street improvements will require separate plan submittals prepared according to City of Renton drafting standards by a registered Civil Engineer. • The construction permit application must include an itemized cost estimate for these improvements. The fee for review and inspection of these improvements is 5% of the first $100,000 of the estimated construction costs; 4% of anything over $100,00 but less than $200,000, and 3% of anything over $200,000. Half of this fee must be paid upon application for construction permits (preliminary plat improvements), and the remainder when the construction permit is issued. There may be additional fees for water service related expenses. • All plans shall be tied to a minimum of two of the City of Renton Horizontal and Vertical Control Network. cc: Kayren K.. DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: . July 20, 2005 CITY OF RENTON PlanningIBuildinglPublic Works MEMORANDUM Pre-Application File No. 05-094 Valerie Kinast, (425) 430-7289 Cherie Lane II Short Plat General: We have completed a preliminary review of the pre-application for the above-referenced development proposal. The following comments on development and permitting issues are based on the pre-application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant and the codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official decision-makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Zoning Administrator, Board of Adjustment, Board of Public Works, and City Council). Review comments may need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. The applicant is encouraged to review all applicable sections of the Renton Municipal Code. The Development Regulations are available for purchase for $50.00 plus tax, from the Finance Division on the first floor of City Hall or the City website at www.ci.renton.wa.us. Notice: This Project will be subject to the requirements of the recently adopted City Code, Ordinance No.1500, effective on November 10, 2004. It is also subject to the recently adopted Critical Areas Regulations, Ordinance No. 5137 effective on May 4, 2005. T.he Critical Areas Ordinance is available for purchase for $34.25 in the City Clerk's Office on the 7th floor of Renton City Hall. Project Proposal: The subject property is located at 900 and 909 South 34th Street. The proposal is to subdivide two existing parcels totaling 123,708 square feet (2.8 acres) into nine lots and three wetlands tracts. The site is currently undeveloped and contains three wetlands. The access is proposed from South 34th Place, which is being constructed as part of the Cherie Lane I plat. Lots 8 and 9 would be accessed via a 20 ft. private access easement from South 34th Place. Upon re~uest of a pre- application review the applicant indicated that they will be requesting to have South 34 Street vacated. The parcels to be developed are Tract A and Lot 8 of the Stiegman Short Plat that was recorded on December 28, 1998 (Recording number 9812289012). According to RMC 4-7-070N the plat may not be further short platted until five years after recording. It has been over five years since the Stiegman Short Plat was recorded. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The existing development is located within the Residential Single Family (RSF) Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation. The following proposed policies are applicable to the proposal as guidelines for design of proposed site: Objective LU-FF: Encourage re-investment and rehabilitation of existing housing, and development of new residential plats resulting in quality neighborhoods that: 1) Are planned at urban densities and implement Growth Management targets, 2) Promote expansion and use of public transportation; and 3) Make more effiCient use of urban services and infrastructure. Cherie Lane II Short PIa' July 20, 2005 Pre-Application Meeting Page 2of4 Policy LU-I47. Net development densities should fall within a range of 4.0 to 8.0 dwelling units per net acre in Residential Single-Family neighborhoods. Policy LU-I48. A minimum lot size of5,000 squarefeet should be allowed on in-fill parcels of less than one acre (43,560 sq.ft.) in single-family designations. Allow a reduction in lot size to 4,500 square feet on parcels greater than one acre to create an incentive for aggregation of land. The minimum lot size is not intended to set the standard for density in the designation, but to provide flexibility in subdivision/plat design andfacilitate development within the allowed density range. Policy LU-I49. Lot size should exclude private sidewalks, easements, private road, and driveway easements, except alley easements. Policy LU-I50. Required setbacks should exclude public or private legal access areas, established through or to a lot, and parking areas. Zoning/Density Requirements: The subject property is located within the Residential - 8 dwelling units per acre (R-8) zoning designation. The density range required in'the R-8 zone is a minimum of 4.0 to a maximum of 8.0 dwelling units per acre (dulac). The method of calculating net density has been revised in the new code and is as follows: A calculation of the number of housing units and/or lots that would be allowed on a property after critical areas and public rights-ol-way and legally recorded private access easements are subtracted from the gross area (gross acres minus streets and critical areas multiplied by allowable housing units per acre). Required critical area buffers and public and private alleys shall not be subtracted from gross acres for the purpose of net density calculations. The applicant did not provide a density worksheet or adequate information for staff to determine the overall net density of the development. The wetlands delineation has not been completed so the exact square footage of critical areas to be deducted from the gross site area for density calculations has not been determined. The areas of a possible dedication of right-of-way and/or street vacation have not been determined. The square footage of access easements, critical areas, right-of..,way dedication etc. must be provided at the time of fotmalland use application. A completed density worksheet is required at submittal time. The site is located within a previous short plat. Short platting a tract and parcel of the Stiegman Short Plat must not increase the density of that plat to above 8.0 units per acre. A density calculation of the complete area of the Stiegman Short Plat must be submitted in addition to the, density calculations for the new short plat to demonstrate this. Development Standards: The R-8 zone permits one residential unit per lot. Detached accessory structures are permitted at a maximum number of two per lot at 720 square feet each, or one per lot at 1,000 square feet in size. Minimum Lot Size. Width and Depth -The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 zone is 4,500 sq. ft. for parcels greater than I gross acre and 5,000 sq. ft. for parcels I gross acre or less. A minimum lot width of 50 feet for interior lots and 60 feet for comer lots, as well as a minimum lot depth of 65 feet, is also required. This proposal appears to meet the lot size and dimension requirements. Upon formal submittal please list the lot area for ~ach lot in addition to the lot dimensions. Lots with access easements should list both the total lot area including the easement and not including the easement. Building Standards -The R-8 zone allows a maximum building coverage of 35% of the lot area or 2,500 square feet, whichever is greater for lots 5,000 square feet in size or greater. Lots less than 5,000 05-094 Cherie Lane II SHPL (9-lot R-8 wetlands. street vacation).doc\ Cherie Lane II Short Plat July 20, 2005 Application Meeting Page 3 of4 square feet in size would permit a maximum building coverage of 50% of the lot area. Maximum building coverage includes primary and accessory buildings. Building height is restricted to 30 feet and 2-stories. Daylight basements may be possible on sloping sites. Detached accessory structures must remain below a height of 15 feet and one-story with a gross floor area that is less than the primary structure. Setbacks -Setbacks are the minimum distance required between the building footprint and the property line or private access easement. Setbacks are measured from the access easement line rather than property line on applicable lots. The required setbacks are 15 ft. for the primary structure and 20 ft. for attached garages in the front, 20 ft. in the rear and 5 ft. on interior side yards. Side yards along a street must be at least 15 ft. for the primary structure and 20 ft. for the attached garages. The side yard ~Iong an access easement'is by definition a side yard along a street. . Access I parking: The submitted proposal shows undeveloped S. 34th Street accessing from Wells Avenue South and terminating at the west· edge of the site. The narrative states that access is proposed via South 34th Place that is being developed as a half-street as part of the Cherie Lane I Plat. Access to lots 8 and 9 is proposed via a 20 ft. access tract from S 34th Place. City code requires new public right-of-way to be a minimum of 50 feet in width; however this can be reduced to 42-feet in width (32 feet of pavement and 5-foot sidewalks on both sides of the street) when the extra area from the reduction is used for the creation of additional lots which could not be platted without the reduction; or when the platting results in the creation of lots with less than one hundred feet (100') feet in depth. -The applicant indicated at submittal that they would like to pursue a vacation of South 34th Street. Issues of connectivity to surrounding areas as well as the exact location of wetlands will have a bearing on whether a street vacation can be considered. Private driveways may serve a maximum of two lots and must be placed in easements, not tracts, that have a minimum easement width of 20 feet with 12 feet of paving. Addresses of lots along private streets/driveways are to be visible from the public street by provision of a sign stating all house numbers and are to be located at the intersection of the private street and the public street. The maximum driveway slopes cannot exceed fifteen percent (15%), provided that driveways exceeding eight percent (8%) are to provide slotted drains at the lower end of the driveway. If the grade exceeds 15%, a variance from the Board of Adjustment is required. Each lot is required to accommodate off street parking for a minimum of two vehicles Landscaping and Open Space: For plats abutting non-arterial public streets, the minimum off-site landscaping is a five (5 ft.) wide irrigated or drought resistant landscape strip. If there is additional undeveloped right-of-way in excess of 5 ft., this also must be landscaped. For plats abutting principal, minor or collector arterials, the width increases to 10ft. unless otherwise determined by the reviewing official during the subdivision process. Trees are required on all new lots. At least two (2) trees of a City approved species with a minimum caliper of 1 112 inches per tree must be planted in the front yard or planting strip of every lot prior to building occupancy. A Conceptual Landscape Plan as defined in RMC 4-8-120D must be submitted at the time of application. A Detailed Landscape Plan will be required at submittal for final plat review. 05-094 Cherie Lane II SHPL (9-lot R-8 wetlands, street vacation).doc\ Cherie Lane II Short Plaf July 20, 2005 Pre-Application Meeting Page 4 of4 Critical Areas: The site contains wetlands. A wetlands delineation and report will need to be completed according to the City of Renton Critical Areas Regulations, Ordinance No. 5137. The report must address the impacts to the wetland and buffers. Because the wetlands appear different in the submitted plat draft than in the Stiegman Short Plat in 1998, changes to the wetland should be addressed with the study also. Any proposed modifications to the requirements, such as buffer averaging, must be clearly identified and justified in the study. The wetlands delineation and report submitted with the application may be required to undergo independent secondary review by a qualified specialist selected by the City at the applicant's expense. Permit Requirements: Short plats ranging from five to nine lots are processed via the Hearing Examiner (public hearing required) within an estimated time frame of 6 to 8 weeks for preliminary short plat approval. The application fee is $1,000 for plat review and $500.00 for environmental review. The applicant will be required to install a public infonnation sign on the property. Detailed information regarding the land use application submittal is provided in the attached handouts. Environmental Review will be required due to the presence of wetlands on the site. Once preliminary short plat approval is received, the applicant must complete the required improvements and satisfy any conditions of the preliminary approval before the plat can be recorded. The newly created lots may be sold only after the short plat has been recorded. For your use, I have attached a copy of the short plat recording process to be completed after preliminary short plat approval. Fees: In addition to the land use application fees listed above, the following mitigation fees would also be required prior to the recording of the plat. • A Transportation Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each new average daily trip attributable to the project; • A Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per new single family residence; and, • A Fire Mitigation Fee based on $488.00 per new single family residence. Building pennit fees would be charged prior to construction of the homes. A handout listing all of the City's Development related fees is attached for your review. Additional Comments: In advance of submitting the full application package, applicants are strongly encouraged to bring in one copy of each application material for a pre-screening to the customer service counter to help ensure that the application is complete prior to making all copies. Expiration: Upon preliminary short plat approval, the preliminary short plat approval is valid for two years with a possible one year extension, if requested by the applicant from the Hearing Examiner, prior to expiration. cc: Jennifer Henning 05-094 Cherie Lane II SHPL (9-lot R-8 wetlands, street vacation).doc\ S't!!

Mr. Neil Watts Development Services Administrator City of Renton 1055 South Grady Way Renton, Washington 98055 DEC 05 2005 RECEIVED Project: Cherie Lane II -.~ Project No.: 05043 1945 S. 375th Street FederalWay,WA 98003 Phone: (253) 815-1700 Fax: (252) 815-170 I RE: Request and Justification for Variance form Side Lot Setback from Private Drive F or Proposed Lots 4 and 5 Dear Neil, In putting together our preliminary lot layout design we had designed into the layout a 20 foot wide private access easement to two lots in the rear of our private frontage lots. We had a couple of specific questions concerning on how the City of Renton interprets the lot width requirements and had Valerie Kinsat, and other assisting city staff review our preliminary layout. As part of the review of the Valerie indicated that our proposed private access easement did not meet. the newly revised definition for the side yard setback adjacent to a "private access drive", 4-11-260 Definitions. In our discussion Valerie explained the planning department and the City Council were attempting to address concern about having private access drives 5 feet from windows of . existing homes, referring to proposed two lot short plats with one existing residential structure on the parcel. It is our understanding that this new definition has prevented several two lot short plat proposals and in other cases has caused major revisions. It seems reasonable that the City may wish to provide the private property owners with some visual separation between the structure and the private access road, but we believe that there are other methods of achieving this goal without sacrificing valuable developable square footage and decreasing potential urban densities in defiance of the goals of the Growth Management Act. 1 Our layout incorporates 70 foot wide Lot 5 (50' min. width) with a 20 foot private access easement located entirely on Lot 5. We are proposing to locate the private access easement entirely on one lot so that we are able to offer one additional lot that is not encumbered by an easement. We believe that a more effective means of providing visual separation between the private access is to provide private solid fencing along the private access easement. The observed actions of private property owners in the past that have been presented with similar situations is to unilaterally with out governmental mandate install solid visual screens. This method of screening shall be provided in our plat design. If such screening is to be provided in either case, is there then an advantage between a 5 foot or a 15 foot setback from a residential structure if the access is effectively screened? In our project proposal not only would this affect Lot 5 but it would also affect the adjacent Lot 4 with a similar restrictive setback and ultimately result in the reduction of a buildable lot for the project and subsequently a reduction in City property tax revenue collection. There are other examples where this similar situation occurs. My own single family residence has a neighboring driveway (not extending completely to the rear of the lot) five feet directly opposite our 5 foot dining room window and is effectively screened by a six foot high solid cedar fence. Having the driveway effectively screened has eliminated the location (distance from the property line) of the neighbor'S driveway as a visual disturbance and has not prevented our use or enjoyment of dining room at anytime. As private citizens I and my neighbor jointly constructed the solid cedar fence to screen the driveway without sacrificing my or their lot square footage and without the assistance of or regulation by King County. Another consideration in this matter is that this only an extremely low volume 20 foot private access easement to two residential lots and not a public street right-of-way that it's combined with in the "Side Yard along a street" definition in Section 4-11-260. The expected' traffic levels between the private access and a public right-of-way are several orders of magnitude different in most cases and therefore there would not be same number of potential trips on a private access which by codes requires the same setback as the significantly higher volume public right-of-way. At this point in my engineering career I have not been asked to provide at anytime such a generous setback from a private access in any of the other varied cities and counties that I have produced engineering documents for. This would be the first time I have been asked to provide anything other than the normal side lot setback. The following are our supporting arguments for granting a 10 foot reduction of the side lot setback from the proposed 20-foot private access drive. 1. The preliminary short plat site plan as proposed for the project attempts to maximize the developer's right to gain reasonable use of the environmentally constrained property. The size of the proposed single-family residential lots and structures within Cherie Lane II are consistent with the surrounding neighborhoods. The surrounding properties actually had greater and rights 2 ~ ... and privileges under of the previous zoning regulations to develop their property in a more efficient manner and can gain more substantial use of their land than Cherie Lane II is currently able to under the new revised setback code. The Cherie Lane II project site is critically constrained along it east- west axis by Wetland A and City of Renton/Soos Creek Water and Sewer District utilities. The proposed site plan was only able to incorporate the minimum 50-foot lot widths despite the utilization. of Wetland Buffer Averaging to reduce the impacts of the environmentally constrained area upon the reasonable use of the property by the owner. The goal is to provide the City and surrounding neighborhoods with housing that is in conformance with the existing size and appearance of the surrounding neighborhoods and not be forced to propose much narrower building plans that both City and neighbor's would definitely find to be out of character. We are providing street profile elevations of the proposed development with and without the variance to show the street appearance and appeal of the variance for your consideration. Finally it should be note that this proposed variance will deprive the subject property owner of his rights to develop his property in the same manner that the surrounding neighbors have enjoyed and benefited from. 2. The· granting the variances will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements since the surrounding neighborhoods have been developed under the same regulations that we are requesting and therefore be consistent with the neighborhood. 3. By granting approval of the variances it would only allow the development to enjoy the rights, privileges and code that the existing surrounding neighborhoods enjoyed and thereby could not be considered a special privilege. In summary we would request that the City of Renton please review the variance request and the cumulative impacts of the current side yard setback regulation from private accesses on the vast number of current and the future projects and the City property tax revenue available to maintain the same amount of public right-of-way. If you determine it would assist you to meet with Steve Beck; Owner, and I we would be willing to arrange to meet with you at your convenience. If you should have any questions or require additional information please do not hesitate to contact me, Brant A. Schweikl, at (253) 815-1700, and I will provide you with the information that you require. 3. u· Brant A. Schweikl, P.E.

The project is located west of the intersection of South 34th Street and Wells Avenue South. The overall proposed project consists of two existing parcels Lot 8 (Parcel No. 2923059040) and Tract A (Parcel No. 2923059188) of the Steigmen Short Plat, City of Renton SP (LUA- 98-026). The parcels are 76,263 sf and 59,696 sf in size, respectively. The current City of Renton zoning classification is R-8 Single-Family Residential. Currently the site is undeveloped and contains three existing wetlands, two of which appear to be of jurisdictional size, Wetlands "A" & "C". The two parcels are divided by an existing City of Renton undeveloped and unopened right-of-way for South 34th Street. The South 34th Street ROW is undevelop~d but has sanitary sewer and storm drainage utilities installed along the length of the ROW. The surrounding land uses include the single-family residential Plat of Winsper II to the north, the single-family residential developments of the Steigman SP and Winsper II to the east, the plat of Cherie Lane I (under construction) to the south and unplatted/undeveloped parcels of land to the west. The project proposes to short plat the two existing parcels into 9 single-family lots in the R-8 Residential zone,. preliminarily two wetland tracts to be preserved, a storm drainage deteption tract and a joint use access easement across Lot 5 .. The lots range in size from 5,031 sf (Lot 1) to 11 ,074 sf (Lot 8) and the overall density after dedication and vacation being 6.28 dwelling units per acre. The ballpark opinion of probable cost of construction is $2 million and the opinion of probable fair market valve is $3.375 million, assuming the finished dwelling units will be sold for an average price of $375;000. Lots 1 through 7 will front off of South 34th Place (Cherie Lane I) and receive their water, storm drainage, power, telephone from South 34th Place and their sanitary sewer services will be connected to all of their utility services from the same, except for Lot 7 which is proposed to have its sanitary service connected to the existing sanitary sewer line in the unopened South 34th Street right-of-way to the north of the lot. The access to Lots 8 & 9 would be via a proposed 20-foot wide joint access tract across Lot 5, connecting to South 34th Place and their water services and storm drainage connections would be from S. 34th Place and their sanitary sewer service to the unopened South 34th Street ROW. The conceptual storm drainage concept will be to .recharge the existing wetlands to pre- development wetland hydrologic levels with the developed portions of the backyards of Lots 8 and 9. The remainder of the project will utilize an underground concrete vault for detention/water quality that is located in a separate dedicated tract west· of Lot 1 to address runoff rate control. Discharge from the proposed underground concrete vault will be to an existing Type 2 Catch Basin and conveyance· system in the Cherie Lane I development that conveys flow westward toward Talbot Road S. The project proposes to bring the Cherie Lane I proposed 28-foot half street improvements to S. 34th Place up to a full 32' pavement width, add concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk and dedicate the necessary right-of-way for the improvements. Since the proposal utilizes S. 34th Place for access to all of the lots and the fact that the City of Renton has recognized that S. 34th Place ROW is the location for a future east-west connection between Wells Ave South and Talbot Road South the City has agreed to allow the project to vacate the to vacate the existing South 34th Street ROWand record the necessary easements for any existing utilities that are not presently covered by proper easements. The project will swap the area to be dedicated for the S. 34th Place widening with an equivalent area of the existing S. 34th Street ROW that will be vacated back to the CiZ. Therefore it will reduce the square footage area of the proposed vacation of the S. 34 Street ROW that will need to be purchased back from the City. The conceptual grading plan ~ depicted has 2099 CY of Cut and 1592 CY of Fill. The final grading plan will attempt to provide an earthwork balance and reuse portions of the site strippings to reduce the amount of material that might need to be transported from the site. The project soils as mapped are found to be ground moraine deposits consisting of unsorted mixture of clay, silt sand and gravel, known commonly as glacial till. The glacial till is covered by approximately 6 inches of topsoil and the layer the glacial till varies in depth from 3 Y2 ft to 10 Y2 ft. In light of the smaller lots being created under of the R -8 Zone all of the trees within the developed area will be removed to allow for placement of the structures (See Tree Inventory Plan). There is a possibility that some of the Firs located in the developed backyard areas of Lots 8 & 9 can be retained. The project will retain it band of trees along the northern boundary of Lots 8 & 9. The contractor will most likely have portable job. shack and there is the possibility that the developer may utilize one of the single-family dwellings as a model home display.

The glacial till is covered by approximately 6 inches of topSOil and the layer the glacial till varies in depth from 3 Yz ft to 10 Yz ft. G:\Land Projects 2004\05043\Prel Plat\05043-Envchlst.doc 3 d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. There were no areas of observed unstable soils observed on or adjacent to the site during any of the project site visits and there is no history of any that have been discovered. e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. The project will propose to balance the site earthwork quantities and the estimated earthwork quantity is approximately 5000 cubic feet cut and fills balance. The source of any fill material is proposed to onsite material, unless seasonal weather conditions do not allow for ttie use on onsite materials for fill due the moisture content of the material. It that situation off site structural fill material may be required and would be taken from the closet available source at the time of project construction. f. Could erosion occur as a result. of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. As with any glacial till soils there is the possibility the erosive when disturbed by construction activities, especially with the use of heavy construction equipment on uncompacted material. The site is required to prepare and install an erosion control plan that will be reviewed and approved by the City of Renton to address the possibility of erosion. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? Includi·ng the proposed vacation of the S. 34th ROW the project is proposing an impervious coverage of approximately 19.82% (final configuration w/vacation) h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: The site is required to prepare and install an erosion control plan that will be reviewed and approved by the City of Renton to address the possibility of erosion. The erosion control plan will include a temporary rock construction entrance, siltation fence, catch basin sediment protection, interceptor swales, sediment traps, straw bales, mulching and hydroseeding. Erosion control facilities will be maintained in a functional manner by the contractor. G:\Land Projects 2004\05043\Prel Plat\05043-Envchlst.doc 4 2. AIR a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (Le., dust, automobile, odors, and industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. The grading activities proposed at the site will cause dust particulate to be emitted to the air. Vehicles and equipment used during all phases of construction can be a potential source of emissions. When the project is completed the site may be the source of vehicle emissions from vehicles accessing the plat internal public roadway, lawn maintenance equipment and certified wood stoves. However, the quantities are unknown. b. Are there any off-site sources of emission or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generall.y describe. Vehicles using Wells Ave South and S. 34th Street adjacent to the site can be a source of emissions or odor. However, it is not anticipated that these off-site vehicle sources of emissions will impact this proposal. There are no other known sources of odor or emissions in the vicinity. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: Unwanted dust particulate can be controlled to a certain extent by the application of water before and during grading activities and street sweeping. It is assumed the construction vehicles used will be equipped with factory-installed mufflers and spark arresters that would control excessive emissions. 3. WATER a. Surface Water: 1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year- round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into. Yes. Three wetlands exist on the project parcel. Wetland "A" is a 6072 sf Category 2 wetland located adjacent to the eastern parcel boundary; Wetland "B" is a 880 sf wetland that is non jurisdictional and lies along the southern parcel boundary near the proposed lot line for Lots 2 & 3. The project proposal is to fill this wetland; Wetland "C" is a 13,988 sf Category 2 wetland located in the NW corner of the project site. Due to the nature of the sloping wetlands this only isolated shallow pocketed ponding possible within the wetland. 2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans. . Yes. The project proposes to partiCipate in wetland buffer averaging of portions of the proposed 50 ft buffer associated with Wetlands A & C to accommodate the proposed configuration of the single-family residential lots adjacent to the irregular wetland buffers. The project proposes to increase the net buffer area set aside in wetland tracts by 1,936 sf (0.045 ac). G:\Land Projects 2004\05043\Prel Plat\05043-Envchlst.doc 5 3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material. No fill or dredge material will be placed or removed from any wetlands onsite. 4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. None anticipated. The project will provide clean storm drainage runoff from the proposed residential structures to recharge for the existing wetland· hydrology where existing flow may be cutoff. 5) Does the proposal lie within a 1 DO-year flood plain? If so, note location on the site plan. No, the project does not lie within a 100 year floodplain. 6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge. No. G:\Land Projects 2004\05043\Prel Plat\05043-Envchlst.doc 6 b. Ground Water: . 1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to ground water? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. No. 2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the following chemicals ... ; agricultural; etc} Describe the general size of the system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve. No proposed discharges to groundwater from any source. The site proposes a gravity sanitary collection system and offsite treatment by the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District. c. Water Runoff (including storm water): 1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters, If so, describe. . The proposed project site includes a tightline conveyance system to a proposed underground onsite stormwater detentionlwater quality system located in Tract B at the SW corner of the project site. All lots will be tightlined to the conveyance system unless the clean stormwater runoff from roof areas is to be discharged to the existing Wetlands A andC for maintaining existing wetland/basin hydrology. It is antiCipated that some clean roof runoff from the proposed residential structures on Lots 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9 may be utilized to maintain wetland hydrology associate.d with existing Wetlands A and C. The project also will be widening the S. 34111 Place right-of-way (ROW) to 32' of pavement and adding concrete curb, gutter and 5' sidewalk. Associated with these improvements will be the installation of public tightlined conveyance system to collect surface water runoff fro the S. 34111 PI .. ROW. The runoff will then be conveyed to the proposed underground onsite stormwater detentiQnlwater quality system in Tract B. The outlet and overflow from the proposed underground detention system will be the storm drainage infrastructure being Installed by Cherie Lane I. The restricted site runoff will then be convey through a tightlined conveyance system to Talbot Road and then in natural stream channels to wetlands east of Highway 167, south of 1-405. 2) Could waste material enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. Generally, a project of this type and size would provide areas of landscaping as part of individual lots. If residents of the residential homes use gardening chemicals or fertilizers available at home improvement outlets which are used to maintain these areas are not handled properly, it is possible they could enter surrounding areas. To our knowledge, there are no other known sources of contaminants associated with this proposal. The project will also be required to prepare plans for, obtain approval and install a stormwater water quality facility to operate in conjunction with the detention system and current the surface water design manual adopted by the City of Renton. G:\Land Projects 2004\05043\Prel Plat\05043-Envchlstdoc 7 d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any: All stormwater runoff generated from this project site will be collected, detained and treated in a combined underground detentionlwet vault water quality facility prior to discharge to the storm drainage detention vault outlet conveyance system being installed by Cherie Lane I. The developed surface water peak flow will be attenuated to pre-existing storm peak levels stipulated by the current stormwater management design manual adopted by the City of Renton. The restricted runoff discharge and overflow will be to the south of Tract B. It is anticipated that some of the residential roof drains from Lots 5,6,7,8 and 9 may discharge their clean roof stormwater runoff to existing Wetlands A & C through level spreaders installed within the wetland buffers to emulate the existing saturation/hydrologic conditions as much as practically feasible. 4. PLANTS a. b. What kind and amount of vegetation will be removed or altered? All trees located within Wetland Tracts "A" and "C" will remain. We are proposing to remove all existing cottonwood, aspen and maple trees from the lots fronting on S. 34th Place (Lots 1-7). There is one 8" diameter Fir at the rear portion of Lot 1 that might possibly be retained if the grading/home plans allow. Lots 8 & 9 are larger in size and it would appear that there would be an opportunity to retain two large Firs on Lot 8 and that some of the maples along the northern plat boundary may be retained as a landscaping screen from the adjacent Plat of Winsper Div. 2. All of the other deciduous trees and evergreen trees encumbering the building pad site not mentioned above will be removed from Lots 8 & 9. The detention tract will also have all of the trees removed to facilitate the construction of the underground detentionlwater quality tank. Ground vegetation will be removed from the lot area of all lots and the detention tract and the S. 34th PI. ROW to be dedicated. Upon completion of the construction of the single-family residential structures the disturbed areas within the lots will be landscaped with either lawn or mulched garden planting beds. c. List threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site. To our knowledge, there are no threatened or endangered plant species on or nea,r the site. Alder NW will be including a Habitat Data recon'naissance report and . including a letter in their Wetland Report documenting non-existence of threatened or endangered species on or near the site. G:\Land Projects 2004\05043\Prel PlaI\05043-Envchlst.doc 8 /. d. Proposed landscaping, use of native plants, or other measures to preserve or enhance vegetation on the site, if any: Upon completion of the construction of the single-family residential structures the disturbed areas within the lots will be landscaped with either lawn or mulched garden planting beds. During constl1Jction the wetland tract boundaries adjacent to the areas of construction will be will have siltation fence installed to identify and prevent intrusion into the wetland tracts to be preserved. The project proposes to salvage the existing native vegetation harvested from the residential developed areas and the disturbed buffer reduction areas for reuse in the buffer enhancement areas and re-vegetation of the graded buffer areas. 5. ANIMALS a. Circle any birds and animals which have been observed on or near the site or are known to be on or near the site: b. List any threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site. To our knowledge, there are no threatened or endangered animal species on or near the site. Alder NW will be including a Habitat Data reconnaissance section in their wetlands report and including a letter in their W~tland Report documenting non-existence of threatened or endangered species on or near the site. c. Is the site part of a migration route? If so, explain The site Is located within the boundaries of the western flyway. However, migrating bird populations have not been known to visit the site. d. Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife, if any: Approximately 1.42 acres will be preserved in wetlandlwetland buffer tract and an additional 4351 sq feet (0.10 acres) will remain as detention tract with an underground detention vault that can be left open/unfenced. By preserving the . detention tract unfenced it will allow passage and migration of wildlife across the parcel unencumbered in the north-south direction and animals will also be able to pass from east to west across the parcel via the access easement for the existing storm drainage and sanitary sewer utilities located within the to be vacated S. 34th Street ROW with out encountering a fence. These areas will also be available to wildlife for habitat purposes. While all other vegetation will be removed in the area of the development, the addition of landscaping on individual lots would provide vegetatic;m for forage and habitat purposes for the bird population. 6. ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar) will be used to meet the completed project's energy needs? Describe whether it will be used for heating, manufacturing, etc. The primary energy source required to meet the energy needs of the proposed plat G:\Land Projects 2004\05043\Prel Plat\05043-Envchlst.doc 9 is electricity and natural gas. Sufficient amounts of which would be used to maintain a comfortable lifestyle and environment. b. Would your project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties? If so, generally describe. No, it is not anticipated that this project will affect the potential for adjacent properties to use solar energy. The building heights will not exceed that which is required in the MSF zone and the structures will not be located in an orientation that will affect the southern exposure to any of the adjacent existing structures to the north in Winsper 2. c. What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of this proposal? List other proposed measures to reduce or control energy impacts, if any: The homes will be built to meet or exceed current building and energy codes. 7. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH a. Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to toxic chemicals, risk of fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste, that could occur as a result of this proposal? If so, describe. Typically, a residential development is not a source of environmental health hazards. However, the risk of fire is always present within a residential development. 1) Describe speCial emergency services that might be required. While not anticipated to occur, the services of the local emergency service providers may be required at some time as they would in any the surrounding residential neighborhoods. 2) Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health hazards, if any: No additional measures are proposed. G:\Land Projects 2004\05043\Prel Plat\05043-Envchlst.doc 10 b. Noise 1) What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your project (for example: traffic, equipment, operation, other)? . Vehicular traffic noise Is generated on S. 34th Place and Wells Ave. S., however it is not anticipated that the noise will adversely impact the proposed project. 2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project on a short-term or a long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)? Indicate what hours noise would come from the site. During the short-term, construction activity at the project site will vary considerably as the construction progresses. In addition, because the noise produced on the site depends on the equipment being used, the noise would vary from day to day. Maximum construction noise levels can be expected to range from 65 to 89 dBA with an average value of approximately 85 dBA. Minimum noise levels can be expected to have a wider range of 57 to 88 dBA with an average value of 78 dBA (based on a construction activity noise model, described in Noise from Construction Equipment and Operations, Bui/ding Equipment, and Home Appliances). Noise associated with construction operations on the site will occur roughly between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Long- . term noise impacts will result from vehicles traveling to and from the site and noises typical to a single-family residential plat. 3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any: Noise impacts associated with the construction phases of the project will be limited in duration. To mitigate general noise impacts during the grading phase, measures such as using and regularly maintaining efficient mufflers and quieting devices on all construction equipment and vehicles can be anticipated. No measures to mitigate noise impacts during the building phase are proposed. Construction hours will be limited to the normal workday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. 8. LAND AND SHORELINE USE a. What is the current use of the site and adjacent properties? The 3.39-acre project site (including the to be vacated S. 34th St. ROW) is currently undeveloped except for the existing utilities that are located within the to be vacated S. 34th Street ROW. The surrounding parcels west of the project are The Plat of Wlnsper 2 near the northwest corner and unplatted large parcel single- family parcels, the Plat of Wins per 2 to the north, residential single-family homes of the Stiegman Short Plat to the east and the S. 34th Place public ROW with the Plat of Cherie Lane I to the south of the right-of-way. b. Has the site been used for agriculture? If so, describe. To our knowledge, the project parcel has not been used for crop production; however, timber harvest may have occurred in the distant past. c. Describe any structures on the site. There are no existing structures on the site. G:\Land Projects 2004\05043\Prel Plat\05043-Envchlst.doc 11 d. Will any structures be demolished? If so, what? None e. What is the current zoning classification of the site? R-8 Single Family Residential f. What is the current comprehensive plan designation of the site? Residential Single Family g. If applicable, what is the current shoreline master program designation of the site? Not Applicable h. Has any part of the site been classified as an "environmentally sensitive" area? If so, specify. Yes. Three wetlands exist on the project parcel. Wetland "A" is a 6072 sf Category 2 wetland located adjacent to the eastern parcel boundary; Wetland "8" is a 880 sf wetland that is non jurisdictional and lies along the southern parcel boundary near the proposed lot line for Lots 2 & 3. The project proposal is to fill Wetland "B"; Wetland "C" is a 13,988 sf Category 2 wetland located in the NW corner of the project site. Due to the nature of the sloping wetlands this only isolated shallow pocketed ponding possible within the wetland. i. Approximately how many people would reside or work in the completed project? The proposed plat of 9 lots will provide housing for approximately 18-27 individuals. j. Approximately how many people would the completed project displace? None. k. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce displacement impacts, if any: The project proposes clustering the residential development along the existing S. 34th Street ROW area to minimize potential impacts to the wetland and buffer areas. I. Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with existing and projected land uses and plans, if any: The site is in an area that has the same zoning, R-8 Single Family Residential. 9. HOUSING a. Approximately how many units would be provided, if any? Indicate whether high, middle, or low-income housing. Nine single-family residential median priced housing. G:\Land Projects 2004\05043\Prel Plat\05043-Envchlst.doc 12 b. Approximately how many units, if any, would be eliminated? Indicate whether high, middle, or low-income housing. None. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control housing impacts, if any: The project is proposing to vacate the S. 34th Street ROW that would reduce the amount of public infrastructure necessary to serve the proposed development. By reducing the public ROW there will be no additional maintenance budgetltaxes necessary for the accessing the proposed plat. Also vacating the S. 34th Street ROWand establishing an existing utilities easement will allow the ROW to remain undeveloped which could function as habitat and migrational access for animals. The proposed plat will create housing consistent with the principals and mandates of The Growth Management Act (GMA). The GMA strives to increase existing urban densities to allow for the full utilization of existing utilities, services and infrastructure and to increase the functionality of mass transit while protecting the rural environments from urban sprawl. 10.' AESTHETICS a. What is the tallest height of any proposed structure(s), not including antennas; what is tlie principal exterior building material(s) proposed. The tallest structure will be two stories and 30 feet with wood/vinyl exterior. b. What views in the immediate vicinity would be altered or obstructed? The project should not compromise the views from adjacent properties. The view of the site, of course, will be altered to that of a single-family housing development, but shall remain buffered from the Winsper 2 and Stiegmen plats by existing tress . and vegetation along the east, west and north parcel boundaries. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any: The proposed plat will include architecturally compatible homes by a single builder meeting the requirements of the City of Renton Building Guidelines. The Interior roads will be built to City of Renton public road standards and the project proposes the creation of aesthetically pleasing front yard landscaping' for the single-family residences. 11. LIGHT AND GLARE a. What type of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of day would it mainly occur? Light and glare will result from reflective surfaces of the glazing and building materials, exterior building lights, and street lights. Exterior building lights and street lighting will be design to minimize the dispersal light beyond the project and specific intended areas of illumination by providing design and placement of lights specifically chosen to illuminate target areas with downward emitting luminaries. The occurrence of light impacts would be anticipated from dusk to dawn. Some G:\Land Projects 2004\05043\Prel Plat\05043-Envchlst.doc 13 glare impacts may be present during the daytime associated primarily with normal residential window glazing. b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard or interfere with views? It is highly unlikely that glare or light from the project site will interfere with views or affect wildlife. The proposed project will have accompanying light and glare impacts that are consistent the adjacent existing residential development. Streetlights and other outdoor lighting are intended to promote safety rather than create a safety hazard. c. What existing off-site sources of light or glare may affect your proposal? There are no known off-site sources of light or glare that are anticipated to affect this proposal. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control light and glare impacts, if any: The exterior building lights will be of low intensity and street lights will be directed downward typically used for safety and security purposes. Proposed buffer tracts . adjacent to the proposed residential structures should provided additional screening beyond what was required of the existing residential dwellings adjacent to our project. 12. RECREATION a. What deSignated and informal recreational opportunities are in the immediate vicinity? Thomas Teasdale Park (West), Talbot Mill Park (West), Cascade Park (East),Tiffany Park (East) and the Maplewood and Fairwood Golf Courses to the east of the project. b. Would the proposed project displace any existing recreational uses? If so, describe. No, the project will not displace any recreational opportunities. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts on recreation, including recreation opportunities to be provided by the project or applicant, if any: The project proposes to set aside 1.93 acres that will be preserved in separate undeveloped tracts and available for wildlife habitat viewing and indirect recreational opportunities. 13. HISTORIC AND CULTURAL PRESERVATIO,.. a. Are there any places or objects listed on, or proposed for, national state, or local preservation registers known to be on or next to the site? If so, generally describe. None known to exist. b. Generally describe any landmarks or evidence of historic, archaeological, scientific, or cultural importance known to be on or next to the site. None known to exist. G:\Land Projects 2004\05043\Prel Plat\05043-Envchlst.doc 14 c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts, if any: There are no measures proposed to r~duce or control impacts. However, if objects are unearthed during site work that may be culturally significant, the Washington State Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation will be notified. 14. TRANSPORTATION a. Identify public streets and highways serving the site, and describe proposed access to the existing street system. Show on site plans, if any. The major arterials servicing the site are Highway SiS, Benson Rd. S., Talbot Rd. S. and SE 176th St. The immediate access to the plat will be from Wells Ave. S. to S. 34th Place. b. Is site currently served by public transit? I{not, what is the approximate distance to the nearest transit stop? Metro Transit has Routes iSS, 163 and 169 stop at the intersection of 108th Ave SE and SE 176th Street, approximate distance is 0.6 miles. Route 169 also travels north boun'd on Talbot Rd. S, approximate distance is 0.5 miles c. How many parking spaces would the completed project have? How many would th~ project eliminate? The completed project will provide two driveway parking spaces per lot. It is anticipated. that the street would be able to accommodate parking on one side as well. No parking spaces will be eliminated. d. Will the proposal require any new roads or streets, or improvements to existing roads or streets, not including driveways? If so, generally describe (indicate whether public or ' private? . Yes, the project will be most likely be required to widen the proposed 28 feet of public traveled way of S. 34th Place being installed by Cherie Lane I to a 32 foot width and add concrete curb, gutter and 5 foot sidewalk. e. Will"the project use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of) water, rail, or air transportation? If so, generally describe. The nearest airport is the Renton Airport and Seattle-Tacoma International airport is west approximately 6 miles. f. How many vehicular trips per day woLiid be ge~erated by the 'completed project? If known, indicate when peak volu~e~ would occur. . According to the ITE Trip Generation Manual, Sixth Edition, Land Use Code 210, Single-Family Detached Housing, Trip Generation rates will generate approximately 86 vehicle trips per day for 9 lots at 9.53 trips per residence. g. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any: None are proposed. The project will be accessing a developed public dead end G:\Land Projects 2004\05043\Prel Plat\05043-Envchlst.doc , 15 street. 15. PUBLIC SERVICES a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services (for example: fire protection, police protection, health care, schools, other)? If so, generally describe. Yes. Whenever a residential development is 'constructed, the need for public services, such as police and fire protection, increases. Renton School District No. 403, City of Renton Police Department, and the City of Renton Fire District (Station #13) serve the site. . f,:~.' .' .. ~.:, " .:.: b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services, if any.

October 2006 Dwelling Unit Completion: ............... ; .......... .January 2007 The proposed construction hours for the project will be limited to normal workday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at this time it is not anticipated that there will be a need for any special hours for construction or hauling during the evening hours, but there may subcontractors that chose to work during the daytime hours on weekends. The proposed haul and transportation routes utilized by the project contractor will be dependent upon on the contractor selected for the project and their available material suppliers and available soil fill sites open at the time of the construction. It can be said that Wells Ave South and S. 34th Place will be used as a portion of the proposed haul route. Unwanted dust particulate can be controlled to a certain extent by the application of water before and during grading activities and street sweeping. It is assumed the construction vehicles used will be equipped with factory-installed mufflers and spark arresters that would control excessive emissions. As with any glacial till soils there is the possibility the erosive when disturbed by construction activities, especially with the use of heavy construction equipment on uncompacted material. The site is required to prepare and install an erosion control plan that will be reviewed and approved by the City of Renton to address the possibility of erosion. The contractor will employ standard traffic control measures as required to facilitate the construction of the off site project infrastructure improvements. The main streets affected by the proposed construction will be Wells Ave S. and S. 34th Place and they are relatively lightly traveled, both dead end to the south and west of the project, respectively. Preliminary traffic control plans may require the contractor to narrow the width of the traveled way along the S. 34th Street ROW while install the road widening, concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk and install the water services for the dwellings. There will also be an area at the northwest return of the intersection of Wells Ave. S. and S. 34th Place that will require a coned off construction area for the demolition and reinstallation of the existing concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk. Depending upon the ultimate design of the proposed underground stormwater detention/water quality facility the project may utilize a small crane to lift and place precast top slabs into place. The crane would not extend beyond a height of thirty feet and therefore it would not be necessary to contact the City Airport Manager or the FAA. If you should have any questions or require additional information please do not hesitate to contact me, Brant A.

This plan is based on the Wetland EvaluationlBuffer Averaging Plan Concept dated June 7, 2006. That report described the existing site conditions and presented a conceptual mitigation plan for the project. It was reviewed and accepted by City of Renton Staff in their review of preliminary permit applications. It was also reviewed and given approval by the Hearing Examiner. There have been minor changes in the project design as the project design has been refined. Changes include removal of the requirement to construct a new water line extending south from the northwest property comer along the west property line. A shorter water line will be constructed north from the southwest property comer to a valve for future connections, near the southwest comer of Wetland B on the Cherie lane North property. This construction is within the wetland buffer and extends to within less than 25ft of the wetland limits. Mitigation is being provided for this indirect wetland impact. In addition, a sidewalk will be provided along the north side of South 34th Street, and across the southern limits of Sensitive Area Tract B. At this location there is a small section of the wetland area where there will be less than the minimum 25ft buffer between the sidewalk and the edge of the wetland. Mitigation is being provided for this indirect wetland impact. Details of the plan are provided on sheets 1-3 of the Wetland MitigationlBuffer Enhancement and Maintenance/Monitoring Plan set. GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS The subject property is an approximately 3.4 acre property located in the 3400 block of Wells Avenue South in the City of Renton. At present the property is undeveloped. The unopened South 34th Street right-of-way runs through the middle of the property. The area included within the project includes two parcels; parcel #2923059188 (1.8 acre), on the north side of the south 34th Street right-of-way, and parcel#2923059040(1.2 acre) on the south side of the right-of-way. The South 34th Street right-of-way (.4 acre) runs between the two parcels and will remain as city owned right-of-way. Adjacent properties to the east and north of the project are occupied by existing single family residences of the Winsper development. A new residential development, Cherie Lane, is under construction on the property to the south. South 34th Place running along the south property line was constructed by the Cherie Lane project to the south. In its undeveloped condition the site is occupied by a mixed conifer-deciduous forest stand of composed of mostly deciduous trees. Oregon ash (Fraxinus lati/olia), red alder (Alnus rubra) black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), and big leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) are the common deciduous trees species on the property. Western red cedar (Thuja plicata) is the common conifer tree present on the property. Salmonberry (Rubus June 8, 2007 Project No. 20104a spectabilis), snowberry (Symphoricarpos alba), hazelnut (Corylus comuta), and Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor) are common shrub species present. There are existing sanitary sewer and stonn drain pipes following the alignment of the South 34th Street right-of- way. These pipe lines were installed sometime after 1996. Construction of the pipelines resulted in disturbance to the site in an approximately 30ft wide strip, in an east west orientation through the property. Soils across the property and on much of the surrounding area are mapped as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (Soil Survey of King County, Washington, U.S. Soil Conservation Service, 1973). The Alderwood series is made up of moderately well-drained soils that have a weakly to strongly consolidated substratum at depths of between 24 and 40 inches. The National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils does not list the Alderwood series as a hydric soil although wetland conditions are common in depressional areas within Alderwood soil units. There has been coal mining activity on properties to the south. There may have been some work related to the coal mining activity on the subject property. Surface soils at some locations on the property show evidence of the past activity, and include some coal mine tailings. Our site observations are not consistent with the Alderwood soil type descriptions. The past mining activity may explain the differences where present. Topographically, the property generally slopes down from about elev. 220 along the eastern property line to the low point of about elev. 182 on the southwest property comer. WETLAND AREAS We have identified the limits of three wetland areas on the property as shown on the Site Map (Figure 1). A previous study dated September 24, 1996, by B-twelve Associates, Inc. identified two wetland areas on the property. The configuration of the wetlands identified in their report is similar to that identified during the recent work. Over the ten years since their study was completed there has been considerable new development adjacent to the subject property to the east and north along with the more recent construction of the Cherie Lane project to the south. Additionally the sanitary sewer and stonn drain pipe lines were constructed across the property. This work has apparently affected surface and subsurface drainage patterns on the property, resulting in changes in the wetland configuration. Wetland A, with an area of approximately 6,230sq.ft., is located across the east end of the property. Wetland B is a small area ofless than 1,000sq.ft, near the south property line and west of the south end of Wetland A. Wetland C with an area of approximately 25,000sq.ft is the largest of the site wetlands. Each of the site wetlands is an isolated area with no defined surface inlet or outlet. The wetland delineation was reviewed by The Watershed Company as reported in their letter dated May 3,2006. The wetland limits as shown on project maps reflect adjustments in accordance with their comments. Wetland A Wetland A is an isolated wetland located on the east end of the property. Vegetation within the wetland includes an overstory of black cottonwood and western red cedar trees. Understory shrub species include salmonberry, Himalayan blackberry, and red osier dogwood (Comus stolonifera). Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), soft rush (Juncus effusus), and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) are herbaceous species within the wetland. Page No. 2 June 8, 2007 Project No. 201 04a Using the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetland classification system (Cowardin et al., 1979), the wetland is designated as a palustrine forest wetland habitat. Hydrologically this wetland is supported by seepage into the northeast end of the area. At the time of observations in April, 2005, there was surface drainage entering the wetland from the existing development to the east. This surface water moves south through the wetland and dissipates over the south end of the wetland. This wetland has been designated as a City of Renton Category 2 wetland. The standard buffer for a category 2 wetland in the City of Renton is 50ft. WetlandB Wetland B is a very small isolated wetland of approximately 840sq.ft, located along the south property line. It is situated within a shallow depression with no defined inlet or outlet. During an initial site visit in April, 2005, soils within the wetland were saturated to near the surface although there was no standing surface water present. Vegetation within the wetland includes black cottonwood and Oregon ash forming a canopy over the wetland, with red osier dogwood and Himalayan blackberry as shrub cover. Herbaceous species present include reed canarygrass (Pholons orundinaceo) and other grasses, soft rush (Juncus ejjitsus), and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens). This wetland has been designated as a City of Renton Category 3 wetland. As a small isolated wetland, of less than 2,200sq.ft., it can be filled, if mitigation is provided. Mitigation can be provided with storm water treatment and or landscaping. Mitigation for filling Wetland B is being partially provided by the storm water treatment system for the project. Additional mitigation for the habitat area of the wetland and buffer is being provided in the buffer averaging design whereby an additional approximately 7,000sq.ft of upland habitat area beyond that which would be provided with the uniform 50ft buffer, is being set aside from development Wetland C Wetland C is the largest of the site wetlands, having an area of approximately 25,000sq.ft. It is located on the northwest comer of the property. Vegetation within the wetland includes Oregon ash, black cottonwood and some western red cedar trees. Understory shrub vegetation includes Himalayan blackberry, snowberry and, salmonberry. Herbaceous vegetation includes reed canary grass and soft rush among other species. Using the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetland classification system (Cowardin et al., 1979), the wetland is designated as a palustrine forest wetland habitat. Hydrologically, the area is supported by groundwater seepage. The interior topography is somewhat hummocky, creating scattered low areas. At the time of our observations in April, 2005, there was shallow surface water in isolated depressions. There is no defined surface inlet or outlet for the wetland. It is our interpretation that the wetland satisfies the criteria for designation as a City of Renton Category 2 wetland. The standard buffer for a category 2 wetland in the City of Renton is 50ft. WILDLIFE HABITAT We have completed a wildlife and habitat evaluation of the project area, The purpose of our work was to document the existing site conditions to identify habitats and potential wildlife use of the property. This work was undertaken to determine if there are critical habitats on the property which would be subject to regulation under Renton City Code which identifies critical habitats as: Page No. 3 ":those habitat areas which meet any of the following criteria: June 8, 2007 Project No. 201 04a i. The documented presence of species proposed or listed by the federal government or State of Washington as endangered, threatened, sensitive, monitor, or priority; and/or ii. The presence of heron rookeries or raptor nesting areas; and/or iii. Category 1 wetlands (refer to subsection B7b(i) of this Section for classification criteria); and/or iv. Portions of streams and their shorelines designated in the Renton Shoreline Master Program, RMC 4-3-090, as Conservancy or Natural (refer to the Renton Shoreline Master Program). c. Mapping: i. Critical habitats are identified by lists, categories and definitions of species promulgated by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (Non-game Data System Special Animal Species) as identified in WAC 232-12-011; in the Priority Habitat and Species Program of the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife; or by rules and regulations adopted currently or hereafter by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. ii. Referenced inventories and maps are to be used as guides to the general location and extent of critical habitat. Critical habitat which is identified in subsection B5b of this Section, but not shown on the referenced inventories and maps, are presumed to exist in the City and are also protected under all the provisions of this section. iii. The actual presence or absence of the criteria listed above as determined by qualified professionals, shall govern the treatment of an individual building site or parcel of land requiring compliance with these regulations." During the course of site visits to complete the wetland site evaluation we also made notes regarding observation of wildlife species observed on the site. The subject property is occupied by one general vegetation cover type. Lowland mixed forest is the predominant vegetation cover type across the property. This cover type is based on the habitat categories listed in the King County Wildlife Study Guidelines for SEPA (1993). Similar categories are listed and described in the King County Wildlife Habitat Profile (1987). The majority of the property is occupied by second or third growth mixed forest with variation in the relative cover by conifers and deciduous trees. The forest cover on the southern and eastern portion of the property is generally dominated by deciduous trees, primarily black cottonwood and Oregon ash. On the northern and western section of the property, there is a greater level of conifer trees present, primarily western red cedar. Wildlife We have prepared a listing of wildlife species (Table 1) observed or likely to be present on the property. This listing is based on species occurrences noted in King County Wildlife Habitat Profile (1987) and on personal experience. Amphibians and Reptiles Other than the Pacific chorus frog (Pseudacris regilla), no amphibians were encountered during our site visits. Amphibians and reptiles are generally inactive during fall and winter and are most frequently encountered during spring and summer. The cover types on this property, particularly the forested wetland and adjacent second-growth Page No. 4 June 8, 2007 Project No. 20104a forest, should provide habitat for several species of amphibians. The most likely species are the northwestern salamander (Ambystoma gracile) and long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum). The presence of amphibians on the site is limited by the absence of areas of standing water which might provide breeding habitat for amphibians. The most likely reptiles to be found in the habitats available on this property are the northern alligator lizard (Elgaria coerulea) and garter snakes (Thamnophis spp.). Table 1 lists other amphibians and reptiles that could be expected in the habitats present on this site. The species listed in Table 1 are based on tables provided by King County (1987) for the habitats described above and on our evaluation of the existing site conditions. Birds Because of their high levels of daytime activity and vocalizations, birds are the most commonly encountered group of vertebrates. Some of the commonly observed species on the site were the black-capped chickadee (Parus atricappilus), American robin (Turdus migratorius), winter wren (Troglodytes troglodytes), and song sparrow (Melospiza melodia). A large number of migratory songbirds including flycatchers, warblers, and vireos are expected on this site during the breeding season. The most likely raptors to use this site are the great homed owl (Bubo virginianus), Cooper's hawk (ACCipiter coo peri), and red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis). Table 1 lists other bird species expected in the habitats available on this property. Mammals Most mammals tend to be secretive and nocturnal, and our observations reflect a relatively small proportion of species that may actually exist on the subject property. We observed coyote (Canis latrans) scat on trails around the property. A large nest, probably built by an eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), was located in the forest stand near the north side of the property. Other common mammals that are likely to be present on the site include opossum (Didelphis virginiana), deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), and raccoon (Procyon lotor). Several species of bats are also likely to be present in these habitats during the summer. Table 1 lists other mammal species expected to occur in the habitats available on this site. Threatened. Endangered. or Sensitive (TES) Species Critical Habit Two wildlife species included on Washington State listings of TES could be found on or in the vicinity of the subject property. These include the Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), and pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus). Neither of these species is included as endangered on federal or state of Washington listings. Bald eagles are identified as threatened on federal and state listings. Pileated woodpeckers are not included on federal listings but is identified as a candidate species on State of Washington listings. Bald eagles are found throughout the Puget Sound region. They are most commonly observed along lake or river shores although they may be found foraging over a large area and may roost in larger trees away from bodies of water. No bald eagles were observed on or near the project site. The project site is away from any large bodies of water where they would be likely to build nests. Pileated woodpeckers generally inhabit mature and old-growth forests, or second-growth forests with sufficient large snags and fallen trees (Rodrick and Milner 1991). Pileated woodpeckers are also reported to use open woodlands, parks, and wooded suburbs (Ehrlich et al. 1988) and are regularly seen in those habitats in King Page No. 5 June 8, 2007 Project No. 20104a County. They excavate cavities in snags or large dead branches for nesting and usually make a new nest cavity every year. Nest snags are usually greater than 27 inches in diameter and taller than 87 feet. There are few large snags within the subject property which would be likely to be used by pileated woodpecker. During our site visits we did not note the presence of any individuals nor did we note any trees with characteristic pileated woodpecker foraging cavities. There is not extensive habitat area on the property which is suitable for pileated woodpecker foraging or nesting. Great blue herons are not included as a threatened, endangered or as a candidate species on the Washington State listings although the presence of heron rookeries is identified as a critical habitat in the City of Renton. No great blue herons were observed on the site during our site visits and there are no heron rookeries in the near vicinity of the project site. Great Blue Herons are included as a monitor species on Washington State Listings. Red-tailed hawks are likewise not included on the Washington State TES lists although raptor nests are identified as critical habitat in the City of Renton. A single red-tailed hawk was observed flying over the property during a site visit for the Cherie Lane I project in April, 2003. There are no red-tailed hawk nests present on or in the near vicinity of the property. Based on our review of existing site conditions it is our conclusion that there are no critical habitat areas as defined in the City of Renton codes, within or in near proximity to the Cherie Lane North project boundary. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT -WETLAND IMPACTS It is proposed to develop the approximately 3.4 acre property for construction of a 6 lot residential development as shown on project maps by Schweikl and Associates and on the Site Development Plan (Figure 2). Access to the project will be provided from South 34th Place which has been partially completed along the south property line as part of the Cherie Lane project. The six lots are being constructed on the southern 1.2 acre parcel. No new construction is being proposed for the parcel on the north side of the South 34th Street right-of-way. With the exception of the small isolated Wetland B, the site wetlands will be set aside from development within Sensitive Area Tract B. This tract includes all of the parcel north of the South 34th Street right-of-way, the right of- way itself and the portion of the parcel south of the right-of-way occupied by the South end of Wetland A. It has an overall area of 76,263sq.ft. The tract includes wetlands A and C along with surrounding upland buffer area in accordance with provisions of the Renton City Code which allow buffer averaging. Except as noted below, a minimum 25ft buffer is being provided between the wetland and new construction. As designed, the project will not result in direct impacts to the preserved site wetlands. There are two locations where new construction will extend to within less than 25ft of the wetland boundary. These include construction of the sidewalk along the north side of South 34th Place, where it will cross the south end of Sensitive Area Tract B. Approximately 40sq.ft. of Wetland A extends to within 25ft of the sidewalk construction. This area of wetland is being treated as an indirect impact for which mitigation is being provided. The second area where there will be new construction within 25ft of the wetland boundary, is at the southwest comer of Wetland C where a new water line will be extended north along the west property line to provide future connection for any new developments to the west. Approximately 240sq.ft of the western tip of Wetland C will be indirectly impacted by the water line construction. Mitigation is being provided for this indirect impact. WETLAND MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS Page No. 6 June 8, 2007 Project No. 20104a Where there is no feasible development alternative whereby wetland and buffer impacts can be avoided, and where impacts to the wetland and buffers are minimized to the extent possible, the City of Renton Critical Regulations allow wetland and buffer impacts if there is compensation for any permanent wetland or buffer impacts (4-3-05- M8). For this project there are no feasible alternative locations for the sidewalk and water line construction. The locations and requirements for their construction have been established to meet community requirements and to meet requirements to provide service for future development on adjacent properties. Alternative locations would not meet these neighborhood service needs. The City of Renton requires that ''The overall goal of any compensatory project shall be no net loss of wetland function and acreage and to strive for a net resource gain in wetlands over present conditions. The concept of "no net loss" means to create, restore and/or enhance a wetland so that there is no reduction to total wetland acreage and/or function." The Critical Area Regulations provide guidance for determining appropriate compensatory mitigation ratios to meet the mitigation goals. Mitigation can be provided by creation of new wetland or by a combination of wetland creation and enhancement of an existing wetland. The standard mitigation ratio for impacts to Category 2 forested wetlands is 3 : I (Wetland Area Created: Wetland Area Impacted). This ratio can be adjusted where a combination of wetland creation and wetland enhancement is proposed. If a combination of creation and enhancement is to be used; the mitigation shall include wetland creation at a minimum ratio of 1.5 : 1 and wetland enhancement at a ratio of 2 : I. The areas proposed for wetland creation and enhancement are shown on the Site Map (Figure I). New wetland area will be created along the north side of Wetland C, by excavating to match the grade of the adjacent wetland to allow overflow from the wetland into the mitigation area. The shallow excavation will lower surface grades to reach the near surface shallow water table over the site. The area selected is currently occupied by low shrubs with Himalayan blackberry as a predominant species. - Grading to expand the existing wetland will involve some excavation of existing wetland. The mitigation area will be planted in native wetland shrubs and trees to accelerate the development of scrub-shrub wetland habitat on the mitigation area. Enhancement of the existing wetland will be carried out by making plantings of native trees and shrubs to accelerate the establishment of native scrub-shrub habitat on sections of wetland where there has been disturbance and there is sparse shrub and tree growth. Enhancement will also involve work to control the growth of non native invasive species on the area designated as the mitigation area. The areas identified for wetland creation and enhancement can be adjusted at the time of construction to avoid existing features and to select the most appropriate area for wetland enhancement. WETLAND BUFFER AVERAGING The project is being designed to maintain the required average 50ft buffer for the preserved wetlands within the project area. Except as described above where the 'Yater line and new sidewalk will be constructed within the minimum 25ft buffer, a minimum 25ft buffer is being maintained for the site wetlands. Buffer averaging calculations and illustration of the affected buffer areas is shown on Buffer Averaging Plan (Figure 3) Page No. 7 Section L6fRMC outlines buffer averaging conditions as follows: Averaging of Buffer Width: June 8, 2007 Project No. 20104a Standard wetland buffer zones may be modified by averaging buffer widths. Upon applicant request, wetland buffer width averaging may be allowed by the Department Administrator only where the applicant demonstrates all of the following: i. That the wetland contains variations in ecological sensitivity or there are existing physical improvements in or near the wetland and buffer; and ii. That width averaging will not adversely impact the wetland function and values; and iii. That the total area contained within the wetland buffer after averaging is no less than that contained within the required standard buffer prior to averaging; and iv. A site specific evaluation and documentation of buffer adequacy based upon The Science of Wetland Buffers and Its Implications for the Management of Wetlands, McMillan 2000, or similar approaches have been conducted. The proposed buffer standard is based on consideration of the best available science as described in WAC 365-195-905; or where there is an absence ofvalld scientific information, the steps in RMC 4-9-250F are followed. v. In no instance shall the buffer width be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) of the standard buffer or be less than twenty five feet wide. Greater buffer width reductions require review as a variance per subsection N3 of this Section and RMC 4-9-250B; and vi. Buffer enhancement in the areas where the buffer is reduced shall be required on a case-by-case basis where appropriate to site conditions, wetland sensitivity, and proposed land development characteristics. vii. Notification may be required pursuant to subsection F8 of this Section. Wetland buffers are vegetated upland areas adjacent to and generally surrounding wetlands. As such buffers provide beneficial functions within the urbanizing landscape in their relationship to the wetland and as upland habitat area. They provide beneficial functions as an element of the preserved wetland and as preserved upland habitat. Buffer averaging element (i.) Buffer averaging is being applied to Wetlands A and C. Both of these wetlands have been affected by past activities on and adjacent to the property. These include construction of the water and sanitary sewer lines across the property, construction of the existing residential developments to the north and east, and the development under construction to the south. These activities have involved clearing and grading activity within the wetlands and the buffers for the two wetlands. This past activity has affected the majority of the buffer area surrounding the site wetlands. The one section of the buffer which was minimally affected is on the north end of Wetland A, and off the northeast comer of wetland C, which remain forested. This forested area is being preserved with the buffer averaging. Reduced buffer widths are being applied to the sections of wetland buffer affected by past activities. Buffer averaging elements (ii and iv) Page No. 8 June 8, 2007 Project No. 20 I 04a Buffers serve as an integral unit of the wetland system in urban environment in providing protection to the wetland habitat. They act to provide protection to the wetland in the form of generating a physical barrier between human activity and the wetland. Additionally wetland buffers are an extension of the wetland area. Buffers generally provide function in terms of wetland hydrology; water quality; Wildlife habitat: and buffer protection. The discussion which follows is based on The Science of Wetland Buffirs and Its Implications for the Management of Wetlands, McMillan 2000, Wetland hydrology buffer function. Wetland buffers may help moderate impacts on water volumes reaching wetlands and fluctuations to the hydroperiod within the wetland by detaining surface runoff and slowly releasing it into the wetland. Within the Cherie Lane North project area, the only section of wetland buffer which has the potential to affect water volumes reaching the wetland is the buffer adjacent to Lot 6. At other locations adjacent to Lots 1 through 5 the buffer does not slope toward the wetland and there would be little contribution of surface water through the buffer into the wetland. A letter dated March 1,2007, by AlderNW describes the potential hydrological impact of the project on hydrology to Wetland A. The surface water treatment system for Lot 6 includes provisions for maintaining surface flows into the wetland from wetland and footing drains. Wetland water quality buffer function Buffers provide water quality function by: sediment removal; by biological ''treatment'' through biological uptake or conversion of nutrients and pollutants before reaching the wetland; by binding dissolved pollutants on soil particles; and through shading to ameliorate water temperature effects within the wetland. The reduced buffer width adjacent to Lots 1 through 5 the buffer does not slope toward the wetland and there would be little contribution of surface water through the buffer into the wetland and therefore little contribution to water quality treatment function related to water reaching Wetland C from the developed area. Grades within the reduced wetland buffer width adjacent to Lot 6 are relatively flat and the buffer is well vegetated. Surface water will move slowly across the buffer and will infiltrate to be treated within the soils and by buffer vegetation to have minimal effect on water quality in Wetland A. Buffer Wildlife Habitat function The total area maintained as buffer is increased by approximately 6,700sq.ft beyond that which would be provided with a uniform 50ft buffer. The buffer averaging will not reduce the wildlife habitat function within the developed project. Buffer Protection Buffers are subject to damage and disruption from effects of human disturbance and from the potential for windstorm damage to standing tall trees. The effectiveness of the preserved buffers within the project will be enhanced and maintained through installation of fencing to mark the buffer limits. Fencing can have the effect of reducing the potential for human damage to the buffer vegetation. There are few tall trees within the reduced buffer between Lots I through 6 which will be subject to wind damage. Page No. 9 Buffer averaging element (iii) June 8,2007 Project No. 20104a The total area being included as wetland buffer within the project will be increased by approximately 6,700sq.ft. beyond that which would be provided with a unifonn 50ft buffer. Buffer averaging element (v) The limited areas where the buffer will be less than 25ft in width are being treated as indirect wetland impacts and mitigation is being provided by wetland creation at another location within the project. Buffer averaging element (vi) The buffer between new development and the wetland boundary is being enhanced with plantings of native shrubs and trees and with maintenance measures to control the growth of non native shrub species. Buffer Increase Discussion Where the buffer and or wetland has special and unique features such as presence of endangered species, which are deemed to require additional protection, the city may require increased buffer width (RMC 4-3-050M6d). Conditions where the additional buffer may be required are outlined as elements i. through vi. i. The wetland is used by species listed by the Federal or the State government as threatened, endangered and sensitive species and State-listed priority species, essential habitat for those species or has unusual nesting or resting sites such as heron rookeries or raptor nesting trees or evidence thereof; or ii. The subject property, or nearby lands to which the subject property drains in route to a wetland, are susceptible to severe erosion, and erosion control measures will not effectively prevent adverse wetland impacts; or iii. The subject property or nearby lands to which the subject property drains in route to a wetland have minimal vegetative cover or slopes greater than fifteen percent (15%) and conditions cannot be restored to prevent adverse wetland impacts; or iv. Wetland-dependent wildlife species are observed to be present in the wetland, and may require larger buffers based upon the evaluation in subsection M6d(v) of this Section; and v. For proposals meeting any of the criteria in subsections M6d(i) to (iv) of this Section, buffers are established using a site specific evaluation and documentation of buffer adequacy based upon The Science of Wetland Buffers and Its Implications for the Management of Wetlands, McMillan 2000, Wetlands in Washington State Volume 2: Guidance for Protecting and Managing Wetlands, Appendix 8C (Hruby, et al., 2005), or similar approaches; and vi. Notification is given consistent with subsection F8 of this Section. Criteria i. Two wildlife species included on Washington State listings ofTES could be found on or in the vicinity of the subject property. These include the Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), and pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus). Neither of these species is listed as threatened in the state of Washington. The closest aquatic habitat which might support either bull trout or Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), is in May Creek approximately 2 miles north of the property. Honey Creek where it is present within the wetland along the east side of the project does not include habitat for either Chinook salmon or bull trout. Page No. 10 Bald eagles are found throughout the Puget Sound region. They are most commonly observed along lake or river shores although they may be found foraging over a large area and may roost in larger trees away from bodies of water. No bald eagles were observed on or near the project site. The project site is away from any large bodies of water where they would be likely to build nests. Pileated woodpeckers generally inhabit mature and old-growth forests, or second-growth forests with sufficient large snags and fallen trees (Rodrick and Milner 1991). There are few large snags within the subject property which would be likely to be used by pileated woodpecker. During our site visits we did not note the presence of any individuals nor did we note any trees with characteristic pileated woodpecker foraging cavities. Great blue herons are not included on the Washington State TES lists although the presence of heron rookeries is identified as a critical habitat in the City of Renton. No great blue herons were observed on the site during our site visits and there are no heron rookeries in the near vicinity of the project site. Red-tailed hawks are likewise not included on the Washington State TES lists although raptor nests are identified as critical habitat in the City of Renton. A red-tailed hawk nest had been identified during earlier studies in 2002 and 2003, in a large black cottonwood tree within wetland D-5 off the property to the east. New construction is 100ft or more from the nest tree. There has been no recent red tail hawk activity in the vicinity indicating that the nest tree is no longer active. There are no documented records of the presence of any species listed by the Federal or the State government as threatened, endangered and sensitive species (TES) and State-listed priority species being present within the wetland or in the near vicinity of the Cherie Lane North project. The wetlands do not include areas of standing water which would provide breeding habitat for amphibians. There are no wetland dependent species in the area. Based on our review of existing site conditions it is our conclusion that there are no critical habitat areas as defined in the City of Renton codes, within the Cherie Lane North project boundary. No increase in buffer width is indicated. Criteria ii and iii. There are no lands adjacent to or on the property and draining to a wetland which are subject to severe erosion. Installed erosion control measures are sufficient to effectively prevent adverse wetland impacts from erosion. There are no nearby lands wetland where there is minimal vegetative cover or slopes greater than fifteen percent that could not be restored. Criteria iv. There are no observations or records of wetland dependent wildlife species such water fowl, which would benefit from or would be better protected with increased buffer width. The proposed development does not meet the criteria for the buffer area or width to be increased. WETLAND MITIGATIONIBUFFER ENHANCEMENT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The wetland mitigation design as presented on Sheets 1 to 3, includes two elements. It provides mitigation for the indirect wetland impacts from the sidewalk and water line construction, by creating new wetland and enhancing existing wetland and it includes provisions for enhancing the wetland buffer to satisfy requirements for allowing reduction in buffer width through buffer averaging. Goals and Objectives Wetland Mitigation The proposed construction for the sidewalk and water lines will not require any direct filling or loss of wetland area. The 240sq.ft of wetland where there will be less than 25ft between the wetland limits and the new Page No. 11 June 8, 2007 Project No. 20104a construction, is being treated as an impact because of the potential adverse effect on the wetland as a result of the reduced buffer width. With implementation of the proposed mitigation design concept, the wetland functions impacted by the indirect impact will be replaced by creation of 450sq.ft of new wetland and by enhancing approximately 600sq.ft of existing disturbed wetland area. Proposed wetland mitigation areas are shown on the Wetland Mitigation Plan (Figure 3). The area selected to implement the required mitigation is currently occupied by low shrubs including Himalayan blackberry as a predominant species, along with snowberry. Reed canarygrass is also present on the area. The mitigation area has been selected to avoid larger trees. Wetland hydrology functions, will be mitigated by excavation to create new wetland area. This excavation to create new wetland area will expand the surface area and capacity for storage within the wetland to replace the hydrological function of the wetland area to be impacted. Water quality improvement functions will be mitigated with the reestablishment of native vegetation including herbaceous growth within the wetland creation area. The general goal of the mitigation plan is to create a wetland habitat area which has comparable or greater function as is found in the existing wetland being impacted. This goal will be accomplished by creating new wetland area to compensate for the indirect wetland impacts, and by enhancing portions of the existing wetland and buffer. With completion of the mitigation design plan the total wetland area on the project will be expanded. The wetland mitigation design involves three general objectives: 1. Establish new scrub-shrub wetland habitat which mnmcs native wetland plant communities on a minimum of 450sq.ft. of created wetland area. The created wetland habitat will have a minimum of three wetland shrub species and one wetland tree species. 2. Control the growth of invasive plants, including Himalayan blackberry and Scot's broom on the areas included in the mitigation plan. 3. Enhance 600sq.ft of the existing wetland to establish native scrub-shrub habitat having a minimum of three native shrub species and one native tree species. Enhancement will be accomplished with new plantings of native trees and shrubs and by controlling the growth of Himalayan blackberry on the enhancement area. Wetland Mitigation Hydrology/W ater Regime The area designated for the wetland creation will be hydrologically supported by natural drainage from the existing wetland. In addition, the proposed grading for wetland creation will intercept the shallow perched water table which is present across the site to create wetland hydrological conditions. The grading plan for the new wetland area is designed to match the elevations in the adjacent wetland with the intent of allowing surface and subsurface water to spill into the newly created wetland area. The hydrological objective of the mitigation design is to maintain saturated soils to within 18 inches of the surface within the wetland creation area at least until May I of each year. Goals and Objectives Buffer Enhancement The general design intent of this plan is to increase the density of native trees and shrubs reserved buffer and to control the growth of non native invasive species including Himalayan blackberry, and reed canarygrass, among others included on the DOE listing of invasive species, within the designated buffer areas included within the planting plan. The wetlandlbuffer enhancement plan involves four objectives: Page No. 12 June 8, 2007 Project No. 20104a 1. Control the growth of invasive plants, including Himalayan blackberry and Scot's broom (Cytisus scoparius) and others as included on the DOE listing of non native invasive species. 2. Increase the overall cover of native trees and shrubs. 3. Increase the native plant species diversity. CLOSING The Wetland Mitigation/Buifer Enhancement and Monitoring Plan (Sheets 1 to 3) provides details for implementation of the mitigation plan design concept. This plan includes a grading plan, a detailed planting plan showing locations, numbers and size of plant species to be installed, and a maintenance and monitoring plan to be carried out over the minimum five year monitoring period following construction.

The purpose of our work was to identify the limits of the wetland areas on and immediately adjacent to the subject property. We have also reviewed Site Development plans prepar~ by In conducting our site wetland evaluation, we followed the general procedures for the routine on-site methodology as outlined in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (March 1997). This procedure . involves analysis of vegetation patterns, soil conditions, and near-surface hydrology in making a detennination of wetland conditions. Our scope of work included site visits in April, 2005 to complete the wetland evaluation and flag the limits of the site wetlands and in October, 2005 to review site conditions for preparation of this report. We had also made a preliminary site visit in May, 2004. The flagged wetland points have been surveyed and plotted on project maps as shown on project design plans by Schweikl and Associates, and on the Site Map (Figure 2). WETLAND EVALUATION PROCEDURES For the purpose of this study, we used the wetland definition adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Anny Corps of Engineers (COE) for administering Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. According to this definition, wetlands are: '''Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas." (33 CFR 323) 518 North 59th Street, Seattle, Washington 98103· Phone (206)783-1036 email aldernw@comcast.net Mr. Steve Beck November 7, 2005 Revision December 2, 2005 In Washington State, the Shoreline Management Act and Growth Management Act have amended this definition to exclude some wetland situations by adding the following sentences to the wetland ~efinition: Wetlands do not include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non-wetland sites, including but not limited to, irrigation and drainage ditches, grass-lined swales, canals, detention facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, farm ponds, and landscape amenities, or those wetlands created after July 1, 1990, that were intentionally created as a result of the construction of a road, street or Highway. Wetlands may include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non- wetland areas to mitigate the conversion of wetlands. Delineation procedures are based on diagnostic environmental indicators of wetland vegetation, wetland soils, and wetland hydrology. These procedures, outlined in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (March 1997) are commonly known as a Triple Parameter Method. By definition, an area is designated as wetland when there are positive indicators for all three parameters. A listing of plant species has been developed for use in the methodology for delineating wetland areas. This listing assigns plant species to one of five indicator status categories ranging from Obligate wetland species, which almost always occur in wetlands, to Upland species, which rarely occur in wetlands. Under normal conditions, hydrophytic vegetation is determined to be present if more than 50 percent of the dominant species are in the Obligate (OBL), Facultative Wetland (FACW), or Facultative (FAC) indicator categories. Diagnostic indicators of hydric soils are related to soil saturation, which leads to anaerobic conditions in the soil. Under these conditions, decomposition of organic material is inhibited and soil minerals are reduced, creating characteristic soil colors that can be quantified by comparison with Munsell Soil Color Charts. A chroma of one or less in unmottled soils or a chroma of two or less in mottled soils generally indicates a hydric soil. In addition, soils that are saturated during the growing season satisfy a criterion for hydric soils. We used a hand auger and or shovel to collect soil samples from depths of 8 to 18 inches, or below the A horizon. Wetland hydrology is defined as inundated or saturated soil conditions for at least 14 consecutive days during the growing season. If no water is present at the time of evaluation, other indicators may include topographic low points or channels, flood debris, complete absence of vegetation, or presence of hydric soils. GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS The subject property is an approximately 2.7 acre property located in the 3400 block of Wells Avenue South in the City of Renton, as shown on Figure 1. South 34th Street right-of-way runs through the middle of the property. At present the property is undeveloped. Adjacent properties to the east and north of the project are occupied by existing single family residences of the Winspei development. A new residential development, Cherie Lane is under construction on the property to the south. The site is occupied by a mixed conifer-deciduous forest stand of composed of mostly deciduous trees. Oregon ash (Fraxinus lati/olia), red alder (Alnus rubra) black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), and big leaf maple (Acer macrophy//um) are the common deciduous trees species on the property. Western red cedar (Thuja plicata) is the Project No. 20104 Page No. 2 Mr. Steve Beck November 7) 2005 Revision December 2, 2005 common deciduous tree present on the property. Salmonberry (Rubus spectabi/is), snowberry (Symphoricarpos alba), hazelnut (Corylus cornuta), and Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor) ~e common shrub species present. There are existing sanitary sewer and stonn drain pipes following the alignment of the South 34th Street alignment across the property. These pipe lines were installed sometime after 1996. Construction of the pipelines resulted in disturbance to the site in an approximately 30ft wide strip, in an east west orientation through the property. Soils across the property and on much of the surrounding area are mapped as A1derwood gravelly sandy loam (Soil Survey of King County, Washington, U.S. Soil Conservation Service, 1973). The A1derwood series is made up of moderately well-drained soils that have a weakly to strongly consolidated substratum at depths of between 24 and 40 inches. The National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils does not list the Alderwood series as a hydric soil although wetland conditions are common in depressional areas within Alderwood soil units. There has been ~ mining activity on properties to the south. There may have been some work related to the coal mining activity on the subject property. Surface soils at some locations on the property show evidence of the past activity, and include some coal mine tailings. Our site observations are not consistent with the A1derwood soil type descriptions. The past mining activity may explain the differences. Topographically, the property generally slopes down from about elev. 220 along the eastern property line to thelow point of about elev. 182 on the southwest property comer. WETLAND AREAS We have identified the limits of three wetland areas on the property as shown on the Site Map (Figure 2). A previous study dated September 24, 1996, by B-twelve Associates, Inc. identified two wetland areas on the property. The configuration of the wetlands identified in their report is similar to that identified during the recent work. Over the nine years since their study was completed there has been considerable new development adjacent to the subject property and the construction of the sanitary sewer and stonn drain pipe lines across the property. This work has apparently affected surface and subsurface drainage patterns on the property, resulting in change in the wetland configuration. Wetland A with an area of approximately 6,230sq.ft. is located across the east end of the property. Wetland B is a small area near the south property line and west of the south end of Wetland A. Wetland C with an area of approximately 14,000sq.ft is the largest of the site wetlands. Each of the site wetlands is an isolated area with no defined surface inlet or outlet. Wetland A Wetland A is an isolated wetland located on the east end of the property. Vegetation within the wetland includes an overstocy black cottonwood and western red cedar. Understory shrub species include salmonberry, Himalayan blackberry, and red osier dogwood (Comus stoloniflra). Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), soft rush (Juncus effosus), and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) are herbaceous species within the wetland. Using the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetland classification system (Cowardin et a1., 1979), the wetland is designated as a palustrine forest wetland habitat. Project No. 20104 Page No. 3 Mr. Steve Beck November 7, 2005 Revision December 2, 2005 Hydrologically this wetland is supported by seepage into the northeast end of the area. At the time of observations in April, 2005, there was surface drainage entering the wetland from the existing development to the east. This surface water moved south through the wetland and dissipated over the south end of the area. It is our interpretation that the wetland would satisfy the criteria for designation as a City of Renton Category 2 wetland. The standard buffer for a category 2 wetland in the City of Renton is 50ft. WetlandB Wetland B is a very small isolated wetland of less than 1,000sq.ft, located along the south property line. It is situated within a shallow depression with no defined inlet or outlet. During an initial site visit in April, 2005, soils within the wetland were saturated to near the surfuce although there was no standing surfuce water present. Vegetation within the wetland includes black cottonwood and Oregon ash fonning a canopy over the wetland, with red osier dogwood and Himalayan blackberry as shrub cover. Herbaceous species present include reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) and other grasses, soft rush (Juncus ejJUsus), and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens). It is our interpretation that the wetland would satisfy the criteria for designation as a City of Renton Category 3 wetland. As a small isolated wetland of less than 2,200sq.ft. the area' can be filled, if mitigation is provided. Mitigation can be provided with storm water treatment and or landscaping. Mitigation for filling Wetland B is being partially provided by the storm water treatment system for the project. Additional mitigation for the habitat area of the wetland and buffer is being provided in the buffer averaging design whereby an additional approximately 2,457sq.ft of upland habitat area is being set aside form development beyond that which would be provided with the uniform 50ft buffer. Wetland C Wetland C is the largest of the site wetlands, having an area of approximately 14,000sq.ft. It is located on the northwest comer of the property. Vegetation within the wetland includes Oregon ash, black cottonwood and some western red cedar (Thuja plicata) trees. Understory shrub vegetation includes Himalayan blackberry, snowberry and, salmonberry. Herbaceous vegetation includes, reed canary grass soft rush. Using the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetland classification system (Cowardin et al., 1979), the wetland is designated as a palustrine forest wetland habitat. Hydrologically, the area is supported by groundwater seepage. The interior topography is somewhat hummocky, creating scattered low areas. At the time of our observations in April, 2005, there was shallow surface water in isolated depressions. There is no defined surface inlet or outlet for the wetland. It is our interpretation that the wetland would satisfy the criteria for designation as a City of Renton Category 2 wetland. The standard buffer for a category 2 wetland in the City of Renton is 50ft. WILDLIFE HABITAT Project No. 20104 Page No. 4 '. Mr. Steve Beck November 7, 2005 Revision December 2, 2005 We have completed a wildlife and habitat evaluation of the project area, The purpose of our work was to document the existing site conditions to identify habitats and potential wildlife use of the p~operty. This work was undertaken to determine if there are critical habitats on the property which would be subject to regulation under Renton City Code which identifies critical habitats as: ":those habitat areas which meet any of the following criteria: i. The documented presence of species proposed or listed by the federal government or State of Washington as endangered, threatened, sensitive, monitor, or priority; and/or ii. The presence of heron rookeries or raptor nesting areas; and/or iii. Category 1 wetlands (refer to subsection B7b(i) of this Section for classification criteria); and/or iv. Portions of streams and their shorelines designated in the Renton Shoreline Master Program, RMC 4-3-090, as Conservancy or Natural (refer to the Renton Shoreline Master Program). c. Mapping: i. Critical habitats are identified by lists. categorieS and definitions of species promulgated by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (Non-game Data System Special AnimaI Species) as identified in WAC 232-12-011; in the Priority Habitat and Species Program of the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife; or by rules and regulations adopted currently or hereafter by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service . . ii. Referenced inventories and maps are to be used as guides to the general location and extent of critical habitat. Critical habitat which is identified in subsection BSb of this Section, but not shown on the referenced inventories and maps, are presumed to exist in the City and are also protected under all the provisions of this section. iii. The actual presence or absence of the criteria listed above as determined by qualified professionals, shall govern the treatment of an individual building site or parcel of land requiring compliance with these regulations." During the course of site visits to complete the wetland site evaluation we also made notes regarding observation of wildlife species observed on the site. The subject property is occupied by one general vegetation cover type. Lowland mixed forest is the predominant vegetation cover type across the property. This cover type is based on the habitat categories listed in the King County Wildlife Study Guidelines for SEPA (1993). Similar categories are listed and described in the King County Wildlife Habitat Profile (1987). The majority of the property is occupied by second or third growth mixed forest with variation in the relative cover by conifers and deciduous trees. The forest cover on the southern portion of the property is generally dominated by deciduous trees primarily black cottonwood and Oregon ash.. On the northern section of the property trees present include western red cedar. Project No. 20104 Page No. 5 Mr. Steve Beck November 7, 2005 Revision December 2, 2005 Wildlife We have prepared a listing of wildlife species (Table 1) observed or likely to be present on the property. This listing is based on species occurrences noted in King County Wildlife Habitat Profile (1987) and on personal experience. Amphibians and Reptiles Other than the Pacific chorus frog (Pseudacris regilla), no amphibians were observed during our site visits. These species are generally inactive during fall and winter and are most frequently encountered during spring and summer. The cover types on this property, particularly the forested wetland and adjacent second-growth forest, should provide habitat for several other species of amphibians. The most likely species are the northwestern salamander (Ambystoma gracile) and long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum). The presence of amphibians on the site is limited by the absence of areas of standing w~ which might provide breeding habitat for amphibians. The most likely reptiles to be found in the habitats available on this property are the northern alligator lizard (Elgaria coerulea) and garter snakes (Thamnophis spp.). Table I lists other amphibians and reptiles that could be expected in the habitats present on this site. The species listed in Table 1 are based on tables provided by King County (1987) for the habitats described above and on our evaluation of the existing site conditions. . Birds Because of their high levels of daytime activity and vocalizations, birds are the most commonly encountered group of vertebrates. Some of the commonly observed species on the site were the black-capped chickadee (Parus atricappilus), American robin (Turdus migratorius), winter wren (Troglodytes troglodytes), and song sparrow (Melospiza melodia). A large number of migratory songbirds including flycatchers, warblers, and vireos are expected on this site during the breeding season. The most likely raptors to use this site are the great homed owl (Bubo virginianus), Cooper's hawk (Accipifer cooperi), and red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis). Table 1 lists other bird species expected in the habitats available on this property. Mammals Most mammals tend to be secretive and nocturnal, and our observations reflect a relatively small proportion of species that may actually exist on the subject property. We observed coyote (Canis latrans) scat on trails around the property. A large nest, probably built by an eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), was located in the deciduous forest near the north side of the property. Other common mammals that are likely to be present on the site include opossum (Didelphis virgin/ana), deer mouse (Peromyscus manicu/atus), and raccoon (Procyon lotor). Several species of bats are also likely to be present in these habitats during the summer. Table 1 lists other mammal species expected to occur in the habitats available on this site. Threatened. Endangered. or Sensitive (TES) Species Critical Habit Two wildlife species included on Washington State listings ofTES could be found on or in the vicinity of the subject property. These include the Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), and pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus). Project No. 20104 Page No. 6 {, i Mr. Steve Beck November 7, 2005 Revision December 2, 2005 Neither of these species is listed as threatened in the state of Washington. The closest aquatic habitat which might support either bull trout or Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), is in,May Creek approximately 2 miles north of the property. Honey Creek where it is present within the wetland along the east side of the project does not include habitat for either Chinook salmon or bull trout. Bald eagles are found throughout the Puget Sound region. They are most commonly observed along lake or river shores although they may be found foraging over a large area and may roost in larger trees away from bodies of water. No bald eagles were observe on or near the project site. The project site is away from any large bodies of water where they would be likely to build nests. Pileated woodpeckers generally inhabit mature and old-growth forests, or second-growth forests with sufficient large snags and fallen trees (Rodrick and Milner 1991). Pileated woodpeckers are also reported to use open woodlands, parks, and wooded suburbs (Ehrlich et al. 1988) and are regularly seen in those habitats in King County. They excavate cavities in snags or large dead branches for nesting and usually make a new nest cavity every year. Nest snags are usually greater than 27 inches in diameter and taller than 87 feet. There are few large snags within the subject property which could be used by pileated woodpecker. During our site visits we did not note the presence of any individuals nor did we note any trees with characteristic pileated woodpecker foraging cavities. There is not extensive habitat area on the property or in the near vicinity which is suitable for pileated woodpecker foraging. Great blue herons are not included on the Washington State TES lists although the presence of heron rookeries is identified as a critical habitat in the City of Renton. No great blue herons were observed on the site during our site visits and there are no heron rookeries in the near vicinity of the project site. Herons are not likely to use the residential habitats on the property and in the near vicinity Red-tailed hawks are likewise not included on the Washington State TES lists although raptor nests are identified as critical habitat in the City of Renton. No red-tailed hawks were observed on or in the near vicinity of the property. Based on our review of existing site conditions it is our conclusion that there are no critical habitat areas as defined in the City of Renton codes, within or in near proximity to the Cherie Lane North project boundary. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT -WETLAND IMPACTS It is proposed to develop the 2.7 acre property for construction of a 9 lot residential development as shown on project maps by Schweikl and Associates and on the Site Map (Figure 2). Access to the project will be provided from South 34th Place which has been partially completed as part of the Cherie Lane project along the south property line. With the exception of the small isolated Wetland B, the site wetlands will be set aside from development within designated Wetland Tracts. As designed, the project will not result in direct impacts to the preserved site wetlands. The tracts include the wetland areas with a minimum 25ft wide buffer, in accordance with provisions of the Renton City Code which allow buffer averaging. Buffer Width Averaging Project No. 20104 Page No. 7 Mr. Steve Beck November 7, 2005 Revi~OD December 2, 2005 , e Buffer width averaging may be allowed in accordance with RMC where the following steps are taken: i. That the wetland contains variations in ecological sensitivity or there are existing physical improvements in or near the wetland and buffer; and ii. That width averaging will not adversely impact the wetland function and values; and iii. That the total area contained within the wetland buffer after averaging is no less than that contained within the required standard buffer prior to averaging; and iv. A site specific evaluation and documentation of buffer adequacy based upon The Science of Wetland Buffers and Its Implications for the Management of Wetlands, McMillan 2000, or similar approaches have been conducted. The proposed buffer standard is based on consideration of the best available science as described in WAC 365-195-905; or where there is an absence of valid scientific information, the steps in RMC 4-9- 250F are followed. v. In no instance shall the buffer width be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) of the standard buffer or be less than twenty five feet (25ft) wide. Greater buffer width· reductions require review as a variance per subsection N3 of this Section and RMC 4-9-250B; and vi. Buffer enhancement in the areas where the buffer is reduced shall be required on a case-by-c8se basis where appropriate to site conditions, wetland sensitivity, and proposed land development characteristics. vii. Notification may be required pursuant to subsection F8 of this Section. Wetland bufers are vegetated upland areas adjacent to and generally surrounding wetlands. As such buffers are they provide beneficial functions within the urbanizing landscape in their realtionship to the the wetland and as upland habitat area. They provide beneficial functrions as an element of the preserved wetland and as preserved upland habitat. Buffer averaging element (i.) Buffer averaging is being applied to Wetlands A and C. Both of these wetlands have been affected by past activities on and adjacent to the property. These include construction of the water and sanitaIy sewer lines across the property, construction of the existing residential developments to the north and south, and the development under construction to the south. These activities have involved clearing and grading activity within the wetlands and the buffers for the two wetlands. This past activity has affected the majority of the buffer area surrounding the site wetlands. The one section of the buffer which was minimally affected is on the north end of Wetland A which remains forested. This area is being preserved and expanded with the buffer averaging. Buffer averaging elements (ii, iii iv, v and vi) Buffers as an integral unit of the wetland system in urban environment in providing protection to the wetland habitat, and in providing what have been identified as "sink" and "source" functions. They act to provide protection to the wetland in the form of generating a physical barrier between human activity and the wetland. Project No. 20104 Page No. 8 Mr. Steve Beck November 7, 2005 Revision December 2, 2005 "Sink" functions are those that in effect absorb impacts before reaching the wetland. They serve to moderate water level fluctuations in the wetland; they to mediate chemical and physical iml1acts to the wetland from erosion, movement of sediments and pollutant into the wetland; and to moderate temperatue in the wetland. "Source" functions include the roles served to the wetland system to support wildlife habitat, provide biotic input to the wetland system, and for their role in mediating effects of human disturbance to wetland associated wildlife. These "sink" and "source" functions are related to the vegetative cover on the buffer, the total area of buffer habitat included, the width of the buffer, surrounding topography, and the level of development within the surrounding urban landscape. Existing residential development activity on and immediately adjacent to the subject property have affected the effectiveness of the wetland buffers. The buffer width has been reduced along the northeast comer of Wetland A. Construction of the waeter and sanitary sewer lines across the property have affected soil conditions and vegetative cover within a portion of Wetland A and the buffer for Wetland C. AdditionalIy the site had been partially cleared in the past, reducing the forest canopy cover allowing the establishment of non native species incliding Himalayan blackberry and reed canarygrass. With buffer avaraging as being proposed for this project there will be no loss in total wetland buffer area maintained within the project. There will be a net increase in the totaI buffer area which would be provided with a unifonn50ft buffer, of approximaely 2,457sq.ft . . With .the provision of a somewhat larger habitat area beina provided wihtin the two Wetland Tracts,. there will be no significant reduction in. the "source" buffer function. . The preserved buffers can effectively provide roles in maintaining wildlife habitat, and in proViding biological support by way of maintaining input of nutrients and organic matter into the sytem. This function within the developed project can be maintained and enhanced with the implementation of buffer enhancement plantings as proposed for the. project. As the vegetative cover on the buffer grows and matures the . effectiveness in providing a physical barrier will be increased. This function can be further enhanced by the installation of fencing to limit encroachment into the designated wetland tracts. "Sink" functions to protect the wetland will be maintained in part by design of the stonn water treatment system. This system can control the movement of stonnwater into and through the· wetland to minimize impacts on wetland hydrology. This system will likewise limit the movement of untreated run offinto the wetlands. The proposed buffer averaging including enhancement plantings within the buffer can maintain a level of wetland and buffer function comparable to that which would be provided if a unifonn 50ft buffer were provided within the residential development. New Water Line Construction Project No. 20104 Page No. 9 Mr. steve Beck. November 7, 2005 Revision December 2, 2005 A new water line is proposed to be constructed across the west side of the property. This water line is being constructed to satisfy water service requirements for this property and other r~idential developments in the area.· Construction of the water line will involve temporary disturbance to approximately 3,03Osq.ft. of the buffer for WetlandB. A vegetation restoration planting plan will be prepared when construction design plans are finaJirod for the project. This planting plan will include details on the number, spacing and species to be placed on the disturbed soils within the water line easement area. All plant materials to be included in the planting plan will be native to the area, and to the extent possible species selected will be those native species present on the property. Native trees and shrubs will be included. These plantings are intended to supplement natural regeneration and to accelerate the establishment of native shrub cover on the disturbed area. With the implementation of a restoration plan, the impacts from construction of the water line on the wetland buffer can be minimized to the extent possible and the disturbed areas returned to a stable condition, with native vegetative cover. A final restoration plan will be prepared and submitted for review as final development plans are prepared. The restoration plan will be implemented with the buffer enhancement plantings. Buffer MitigationlEnhancement Planting Plan We have prepared a conceptual buffer mitigation/enhancement plan for the project. The general design intent of this plan is to increase the density of native trees and shrubs within the preserved buffer and to control the growth of non native invasive species including Himalayan blackberry, and reed canarygrass, among others included on the DOE listing of invasive species. This conceptual plan is prepared to demonstrate the feasibility of construction the project to meet City of Renton requirements for preserving wetland and buffer function. A final plan will be prePared as final construction design plans are completed. The wetlandlbuffer enhancement plan involves four objectives: 1. Control the growth of invasive plants, including Himalayan blackberry and Scot's broom (Cytisus scoparius) and others as included on the DOE listing of non native invasive species. 2. Increase the overall cover of native trees and shrubs. 3. Increase the native plant species diversity. 4. Restore the area affected by water line construction. As final' project design plans are prepared a final mitigation plan will be prepared. This plan will include details as required by the City of Newcastle. o Construction plan o Planting plan showing details of plant numbers, species and spacing Project No. 20104 Page No. 10 Mr. Steve Beck November 7, 2005 Revision December 2, 2005 o Monitoring methodology.

Mr. Scott Mitchell Mitchell Fine Homes 3819 South 380th Street Auburn, Washington 98103 Subject: As-built Report Wetland Mitigation Cherie Lane North Renton, Washington Dear Mr. Mitchell: CITY OF RENTON DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIVISION B~~~~~ Date ~( cif- AlderNW November 28, 2007 Project No. 20104 As requested, I have reviewed the work completed for the wetland mitigation requirements for the Cherie Lane North Residential development in Renton, Washington. Mitigation was required for the project to compensate for wetland and wetland buffer impacts resulting from construction of the project. The mitigation design for the project is presented on the Wetland Mitigation Plan, dated June 8, 2007, by AlderNW. In completing this review and the preparation of the as-built report for the wetland mitigation work, I visited the site on October 22, 2007. I revisited the site on November 28, 2007. Installation of the plant materials and grading work for the mitigation areas had been completed in October. NGPA signes were being installed in November. I had also been present at the project site periodically during October, 2007 while work was in progress to complete the grading for the mitigation area. In general, the mitigation work has been completed in accordance with the Final Wetland Mitigation Planting Plan. It is our observation that mitigation plantings have been satisfactorily installed. Photographs illustrating conditions at the time of the monitoring visit on October 22, 2007, were taken. Representative photos are included with this report as Photo 1 through Photo 5. Additional photos taken at that time are being maintained in AlderNW files, for reference in future monitoring visits. It is my observation that work within the buffer mitigation area has been completed in general accordance with the mitigation plan dated June 8, 2007. That plan illustrates the work completed and serves as the as-built drawing for the project. Based on observations of conditions on the mitigation area, I have the following recommendations for maintenance activities, to be completed during July and August: 1. Himalayan blackberry is present around the margins of the mitigation planting areas. Blackberry where it is present within the mitigation area should be removed from the area. 2. Contractors working on the house on Lot 6 have discarded construction materials and other debris into the adjacent NGPA. This material should be removed and contractors and homeowners notified about the NGPA limits. 518 North 59th Street, Seattle, Washington 98103· Phone (206)783-1036 email aldernw@comcast.net - In accordance with mitigation design requirements the project shall be monitored over a five year monitoring period. Monitoring visits are to be completed quarterly over the first year. 'Hte iBiW ElYBl1BrI~ ute_riBs .. sit ...... shQ.\!ldhe oondJJ(1M during the mOPtb Elf Mwelt, 2667. -=>.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND The proposed preliminary plat consists of two tax parcels totaling approximately 2.84 acres. Both parcels are vacant and apparently have not been developed in recent years. The proposed land use action is approval of a 6-lot subdivision for single-family residential -development. The land subdivision would include a tract for stormwater detention and a Native Growth Protection Easement for two wetlands and their buffers. Access will be from an east-west existing road, S 34th Place, via Wells Ave S. South 34th Place was recently considered as part of the Cherie Lane I preliminary plat.

LUA-05-147, ECF, PP Page 40(14 The property is zoned Residential 8 (R-8). Six lots would be developed at a density of 6.54 dwelling units per net acre (du/a) using the R-8 development standards. The lots range from 5,015 to 10,421 sf. The applicant submitted several studies including: a geotechnical report, wetland delineation, and a preliminary storm drainage report. Category 2 wetlands were found to be present on the site. Mitigation for buffer averaging, necessary to create buildable lots in certain areas, has been proposed by the applicant. Site preparation for development of the plat would include the removal of vegetation and trees for roadways, utilities and building pads. Trees and vegetation would remain in wetlands and wetland buffers. Replacement trees, to compensate for protected trees to be removed, will be required. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Single Family (RSF). 2. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971 as amended), on August 7,2006, the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated (DNS-M) for the Cherie Lane II Preliminary plat. The DNS-M included four mitigation measures. A 14-day appeal period commenced on August 14, 2006, and ended on August 28, 2006. No appeals were filed. 3. COMPLIANCE WITH ERC MITIGATION MEASURES Based on an analysis of the probable impacts from the proposal, the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) issued the following mitigation measures with the Determination of Non- Significance -Mitigated (DNS-M): 1. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations included in the geotechnical report, "Report -Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Services Cherie Lane II Residential Development," by Icicle Creek Engineers, dated July 22, 2005. 2. The applicant will be required to submit a wetland enhancement and restoration plan as mitigation for wetland buffer compensation. Such plan must be approved prior to recording of the final plat. 3. The project shall comply with the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual for both detention (Conservation Flow Control-Level 2) and water quality facilities. 4. The applicant shall be required to plant a minimum of seventeen (17) trees (not including trees required for front setback landscaping, street trees, and trees planted as part of the wetland buffer compensation) as mitigation for trees removed from the site for development. 4. STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS Representatives from various city departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and address site plan issues from the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file, and the essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report and the Departmental Recommendation at the end of the report. 5. CONSISTENCY WITH PRELIMINARY PLAT CRITERIA: Approval of a plat is based upon several factors. The following preliminary plat criteria have been established to assist decision makers in the review of the subdivision. HEX report Cherie Lane II 02 ; '·:t .... \ City of Renton PIBIPW Departme( ..• J CHERIE LANE /I PRELIMINARY PLAT PUBLIC HEARING DATE: SEPTEMBER 5. 2006 (a) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-05-147, ECF, PP Page 50f14 The objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan form the basis for zoning and development regulations for land use and building construction. Although all elements of the Comprehensive Plan apply, the most applicable elements for review of this preliminary plat are Community Design, Environmental, Housing, and Land Use. Community Design Element -New Development Site Planning Objective CD·D: New neighborhood development patterns should be consistent with '7 . Renton's established neighborhoods and have an interconnecte,d~ad network. 1~' Although the access road, S 34th Place terminates in a ~;;;;!rhere is currently no development proposed to the west that would justify completing the street to its logical connection with Talbot Rd S. Otherwise, the access road complies with City of Renton pOlicies for connectivity. Policy CD 15. Land should be subdivided into blocks sized so that walking distances are minimized and convenient routes between destination points are available. The single block of the proposed plat would be configured as a standard city block. Policy CD·16. During land division, ~Uld front on streets or parks. Discourage single-tier lots with rear yards backifl§~;t?a;'rreet. -' All lots are planned to front on a street, with a dedicated Native Growth Protection easement to the rear of each lot. ~ Policy CD·19. During development, signifi~ither individually or in stands, should be preserved, replaced, or as a last option, relocated. Trees within wetlands and wetland buffers would be preserved within a recorded Native Growth Protection Easement, with the exception of those in buffer averaging areas, which must be replaced at a ratio of one to one. "Protected" trees that would be removed for preparation of building sites would be replaced at a rate of one tree replaced for every four protected trees removed. P • -eo:2"'~ ... treets, Sl alks, and pedestrian or bike paths should be arranged as a ·nterconnectin . he use of gul-de-sacs sh~iscoucaged. A grid or "flexi pattern of streets and pathways, with a hierarchy of widths and corresponding traffic volumes, should be used. The vehicle and pedestrian circulation system is externally connected. There are no internal streets planned. Policy CD· 27. New streets should be designed to provide convenient access and a choice of routes between homes and parks, schools, shopping, and other community destinations. Street improvements to the undeveloped north side of S 34th PI would be required, but otherwise no new streets are planned. Landscaping Policy CD· 50. Trees should be planted along residential streets, in parking I~~ requiring landscaping, and in other pervious areas as the opportunity arises. ~ HEX report Cherie Lane" 02 City 0' Renton PIBIPW Departme, ..... !

Page 60'14 Trees at the ratio of one per lot, approximately, have been proposed to be planted in the front yard setback of each residential lot. The Residential 8 zone requires a minimum of two trees per lot in the front yard setback or within the abutting public right-of way of each lot. The applicant would be required to provide the two trees per lot. In addition, all pervious areas of single-family lots and the storm water detention tract are to be landscaped. Protected trees will either be retained or replaced. Maintenance would be the responsibility of the property owner (individual lots and abutting parking strips) and the Homeowners' Association (common areas including open space and detention tracts and Native Growth Protection Easement areas). Objective CD-K: Site plans for new development projects for all uses, including residential subdivisions, should include landscape plans. A Conceptual Landscape Plan for the Cherie Lane /I Preliminary plat has been submitted by the applicant, but does not appear to meet the minimum requirements of RMC 4-4-070 "Landscaping. n Completion of the landscaping prior to final inspection would be a requirement of the project. Policy CD-53. Landscape plans for proposed development projects should include public entryways, street rights-of-way, stormwater detention ponds, and all common areas. ~ ~ ~ \A.v pvof.s2-·77 The Final Landsca~ Plall. would include proposed landscaping of the detention tract.

The applicant has proposed a vault within a detention tract for the Cherie Lane /I Preliminary plat. The tract would be landscaped. Streets, Sidewalks, and Streetscape Objective CD-M: Develop a system of residential streets, sidewalks, and alleys that serve both vehicles and pedestrians. Policy CD-61. Residential streets should be constructed to the narrowest widths (distance from curb to curb) feasible without impeding emergency vehicle access. s. 34th PI is constructed to the narrowest dimension allowed by City code. pohcy cD-66.Sidewal~r walking paths shouldbe provided along residential streets.

Acmeve no overaJl net lOSs of the City's remaining wetlands base. The proposed plat would not result in the loss of wetlands. Policy EN-9: In no case should development activities decrease net acreage of existing wetlands. Development activities associated with the Cherie Lane /I Preliminary plat would not decrease the net acreage of existing wetlands. Policy EN-10. Establish and rotect buffers along wetlands to facilitate infiltration and maintain stable wa er temperatures, rovi e or e biolo' eglme, re uce amount and velocity of run-off, and provide for wildlife habitat. Although limited buffer averaging would be necessary, additional buffer area would be enhanced to provide adequate protection of wetlands to remain. Maintenance of wetlands and their buffers would be the responsibility of the Homeowners' Association. Policy EN-13. When development may impact wetlands, the following hierarchy should be followed in deciding the appropriate course of action: a. avoid impacts to the wetland, b. minimize impacts to the wetland, c. restore the wetland when impacted, d. recreate the wetland at a ratio which will provide for its assured viability and success, e. enhance the functional values of an existing degraded wetland. Impacts to the wetland should be avoided or minimized during construction and occupancy. If damage occurs, restoration would be required. A mitigation plan to enhance wetland buffers would be required as a condition of approval of a buffer averaging plan. A wetlamL ain nance and monitoring plan is a requirement of Renton City code. Housing Element Moderate and Middle Income Housing Objective H-D: Encourage the private sector to .Q!"0vide market rate housingJfor the widest potential range of income groups including rilTcfdie:ana moderate-income households. Policy H-24. Disperse moderate-income housing in all areas of the City that have vacant land. By approving subdivision of land into parcels of approximately 5, 000 to 10; 000 sf each, moderate income housing would be available outside in an area of the City that has traditionally had very large residential tracts. This provides the opportunity for families to live outside of the Urban Center, in a more "suburban" environment.

A Conceptual Landscape Plan has been submitted, a Final Landscape Plan will be requm~.------------------------ Policy CD-45. Existing mature vegetation and distinctive trees should be retained and protected in developments. Trees and vegetation would be removed outside of the wetlands and their buffers within the plat. However, all pervious areas, except rear yards, are required to be landscaped and additional trees will be planted, as required by City of Renton code. This would compensate for the loss of vegetation to ~ certain extent. Policy CD-53. Landscape plans for proposed development projects should include public entryways, street rights-of-way, storm-water detention ponds, and all common areas. A Final Landscape Plan is required indicating that common areas, including the detention tract, would be landscaped.

Maintenance programs should be required for landscaped areas in development projects, including entryways, street rights-of-way, storm-water retention/detention ponds, and common areas. The applicant would be required to incorporate a Homeowners' Association, which would be responsible for maintenance of all common improvements. (b) Compliance with the Underlying Zoning Designation. The 2.84 -acre site (gross area) consists of two parcels within the Residential - 8 dwelling units per acre (R-8) zone on the City of Renton Zoning Map. The proposed development allows for the future construction of up to 6 dwelling units with associated plat improvements. Density -In the City of Renton, residential density is based on the land area less public streets, private access easements, and critical areas. Prior to calculating density the area to be dedicated for a Native Grown Protection Easement is deducted from the gross acreage. The Cherie Lane II property contains approximately 83,771 sf of critical area that would be deducted from the gross site area. After the deduction of 83,771 sf from the 123,708 gross square foot parcel (123,708 gsf site -83,771 sf = 39,937 net sf (0.92 acre), the proposed 6-lot plat would have a net density of 6.54 dwelling units per acre. (6 units / 0.92 acre = 6.54 du/a). This is within the range of allowable densities of 4 to 8 du/a for the R-8 zone. Lot Dimensions and Sizes -The minimum lot width in the R-8 zone is 50 feet for interior lots and 60 feet for corner lots with a minimum lot depth of 65 feet. The plat would create 6 lots, one tract, and two Native Growth Protection Easements at the following sizes: Lot Table lot Area (square feet) 1 5,075 2 5,086 3 5,027 4 5,015 5 5,718 6 10,421 Easement and Tract Table Tract Purpose Size (sf) NGPE Wetland 'A' 4,434 NGPE Wetland 'A' buffer 20,975 NGPE Wetland 'c' 23,071 NGPE Wetland 'c' buffer 28,604 C Surface water detention tract 4,079 Lots in the plat would meet the lot dimension requirements. Because of wetland buffer locations, however, building construction areas may be somewhat limited. Buffer HEX report Cherie Lane" 02 City of Renton PIBR'W Departmel; ..) CHERIE LANE II PRELIMINARY Po. T PUBLIC HEARING DATE: SEPTEMBER 5, 2006 Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-05-147, ECF, PP Page 100(14 averaging will be allowed, but no buffer may be reduced by more than 50 percent (25 feet). A condition of approval is recommended that buffers be clearly marked prior to and during construction. An additional condition is recommended that the buffer perimeter be provided with permanent buffer protection fencing in the form of a "split-rail" style wood fence be installed prior to recording the Final Plat. Setbacks -The R-8 zone requires minimum front yard setback of 15 feet for primary the structures and 20 feet for attached garages that access from the front yard street. Side yard setbacks along a street (corner lot) are 15 feet and interior side yard setbacks are 5 feet. Rear yard setbacks are 20 feet. Setbacks are shown on the Preliminary plat plan and appear to comply with the setback requirements. All setbacks would be verified prior to the issuance of individual building permits. Building Standards -The R-8 zone permits one single-family residential structure per lot. Accessory structures are permitted, at a maximum number of two per lot at 720 square feet each, or one per lot at 1,000 square feet in size. The 6 proposed lots would support one primary structure on each lot. Building height in the R-8 zone is limited to 2 stories and 30 feet for primary structures and one story and 15 feet for detached accessory structures. Maximum building coverage in the R-8 zone, based on lots being greater than 5,000 sf each, would be 35 percent or 2,500 sf, whichever is greater. Project compliance with each of these building standards will be verified prior to the issuance of building permits for each individual structure. Landscaping -Landscaping is required for this subdivision (RMC 4-4-070). General landscape requirements include: on-site landscaping along all street frontages, except for walkways and driveways; when rear or side yards are along property lines abutting a street, a minimum of five (5) feet of planting area in the public right-of-way; landscaping of all pervious areas in the plat including detention ponds, and installation of underground irrigation systems or use of drought resistant plant materials. Specific landscape requirements are also applicable to the preliminary plat including those related to: trees, soils, drainage, plants, and berms as outlined in the landscaping regulations. Cherie Lane" would abut Wells Ave Sand S 34th Place. A five foot wide irrigated or drought resistant landscape strip must be installed along these two streets and if there is additional undeveloped right-of-way in excess of five feet, this additional width must be landscaped. Additionally, a minimum of two trees of a City approved species with a minimum caliper of 1-Y2 inch per tree must be planted in the front yard or planting strip of every lot prior to final building occupancy. The Conceptual Landscape Plan indicates trees, "two per lot frontage," will be planted, although only 11 trees are shown, one planted within the drip line of a tree that may remain (located within the wetland buffer). No landscaping is shown in areas abutting the public streets and no detention tract landscaping is shown. To ensure that landscaping requirements are met, staff recommends as a condition of plat approval that a revised conceptual landscape plan, with adherence to City of Renton landscaping requirements demonstrated, be submitted to the Development Services Project Manager for review and approval prior to final plat recording. Prior to the issuance of building permits, a detailed Final Landscape Plan must be submitted and approved. HEX report Cherie Lane II 02 City of Renton PIBIPW Departmel ..• ) CHERIE LANE /I PRELIMINARY PLA T PUBLIC HEARING DATE: SEPTEMBER 5, 2006 (c) Compliance with Subdivision Regulations. \ <1) Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-05-147, ECF, PP Page 11 of 14 Lot Arrangement: Side lot lines are to be at right angles to street lines, and each lot must have access to a public street or road. Access may be by private access easement per the requirements of the Street Improvement Ordinance. The side lot lines of the proposed lots are at right angles to street lines. All lots would have access to the public roadway. As proposed, lots comply with arrangement and access requirements of the Subdivision Regulations. Lots: The size, shape and orientation of lots shall meet the minimum area and width requirements of the applicable zoning classification and shall be appropriate for the type of development and use contemplated. The Preliminary plat plan includes setback lines for each lot showing potential building envelopes. With wetland buffer averaging, proposed lots appear to have sufficient building area for the development of detached single family homes. Property Corners at Intersections: All lot corners at intersections of dedicated public rights-of-way, except alleys, shall have minimum radius of 15 feet. The proposed subdivision would create one lot to be located at the intersection of public rights-of-way. This lot corner would have a radius equal to or greater than 15 feet. (d) Reasonableness of Proposed Boundaries Access and Street Improvements: The property is located on both sides of the public right-of-way of S 34th st. Since the residential lots and detention tract would be located on the south side of this right-of-way, and the wetlands primarily located north of it, access will be from the south. A related single-family development, Cherie Lane I was required to complete half street improvements to S 34th Place. Therefore, S 34th PI would provide primary access to the proposed subdivision. In order to avoid having the side yard (and fence) of Lot 6 along the access road of the· plat (So 34th PI) and to reduce curb cuts along Wells Ave S, a condition of approval is recommended that Lot 6 front on and be accessed from S. 34th Place. Wells Ave S, which runs north-south, provides northbound indirect access to Talbot Road S, through the Wins per development. Southbound Wells can be used to access both Talbot Road and Benson Drive S, a principal arterial. Street improvements including curb, gutter, sidewalk and street lighting would be required. To ensure common improvements are maintained, staff recommends the establishment of a homeowners' association (HOA) as a condition of preliminary plat approval. The HOA would be responsible for maintenance of all common improvements, including but not limited to utility and access easements, the stormwater detention facility, and wetland and buffer tracts. Topography: The site slopes gradually at about 8 percent from the northeast corner of the property toward the southwest. There are no steep or otherwise protected slopes present on the site. A large number of trees, shrubs and groundcover are present throughout the site. An inventory submitted by the applicant indicates approximately 67 "protected" trees, those 8 inches or greater in size measured 4.5 feet above grade, would be removed to prepare the site for construction. Protected trees include maple, ash, cedar, and fir. All vegetation from the plat will be removed, with the exception of that in the wetlands and HEX report Cherie Lane II 02 City of Renton PIBIPW Departmei,' -;: ) CHERIE LANE II PRELIMINARY ptA T PUBLIC HEARING DATE: SEPTEMBER 5, 2006 Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-05-147, ECF, PP Page 12 of 14 wetland buffers. To compensate for the loss of the 67 protected trees, staff recommends as a condition of approval, that the applicant be required to provide 25 percent of total, 17 trees, at a minimum of 2 inches in caliper measured at 4.5 feet above grade. The approximate location of these trees will be required to be shown on the revised conceptual landscaping plan to be submitted prior to recording the final plat. A geotechnical report indicates that native soils would be suitable for residential building construction. The applicant has indicated that required cut and fill should be less than 5 feet to create final grades for building sites. The Environmental Checklist indicates the cut and the fill would be balanced at approximately 5,000 cy. Relationship to Existing Uses: The property is vacant with no indication of recent occupation or development. The surrounding neighborhood is comprised of new single family residential subdivisions. The Winsper development, zoned R-8, is abutting to the north. A new subdivision, Cherie Lane I Preliminary plat, is being constructed at the present time. Undeveloped land between the proposed plat and Talbot Road can only be accessed from Talbot. (e) Availability and Impact on Public Services (Timeliness) T~Mts FdYhti"dY1 Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention staffs indicate that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the proposed development, subject to the condition that the applicant provide Code required improvements and fees. A Fire Mitigation Fee will be required prior to recording the Final Plat in order to mitigate the project's potential impacts to emergency services. Recreation: It is anticipated that the proposed development would generate additional users of existing City park and recreational facilities and programs. Therefore, a Parks Mitigation Fee would be required prior to recording the Final Plat. Schools: The site is located within the Renton School District No. 403. Based on the student generation factor, the proposed plat would result in approximately 3 additional students (0.44 x 6 = 2.64). The School District has indicated that they would be able to handle additional students coming from the proposed development. The schools would include: Talbot Hill Elementary, Dimmitt Middle School and Renton High School. Storm Drainage/Surface Water: Drainage improvements would include curbs, gutters, catch basins, and pipe network for collection of surface water on-site. Runoff would be directed to a stormwater vault located on a designated storm drainage tract. A Storm Drainage Report has been included in the Preliminary Technical Information Report by Schweikl and Associates, PLLC, dated October, 2005, used specifications that conform to the detention and water quality standards as delineated in the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual. Landscaping of stormwater tracts is required by RMC 4-4-070. The applicant is to submit a revised conceptual landscape plan for the review and approval of the Development Services Project Manager prior to recording of the plat. The applicant is subject to the Surface Water SDC fees of $715.00 per new single family home. Wetlands are present at this site in three locations, Wetland 'A' at 4,434 sf borders the east property boundary, Wetland 'B' is proposed to be filled, and Wetland 'C' at 23,071 sf borders on the east. Staff recommends that Native Growth Protection Easements (NGPE) be recorded to preserve Wetlands 'A' and 'C', the wetland buffers, and buffer HEX report Cherie Lane II 02 .A S.".~h~t.,pHC .. ..,..-RIiI/IiJt~ ..

Mr. Steve Beck 19129 SE 145th Street Renton, Washington 98056 Subject: Wetland Evaluation Cherie Lane North South 34th Street at W~lls Avenue· Renton, Washington Parcel #2923059188 and 2923059040 Dear Mr. Beck: . MAR f.~ , t.;: AlderNW March 2, 2006 Project No. 20104 As requested, we have conducted a wetland evaluation for the property located near the intersection of Wells Avenue South and South 34th Street in the City of Renton. The location of the subject parcel is shown on the attached Vicinity Map (Figure 1). The purpose of our work was to identify the limits of the wetland areas on and immediately adjacent to the subject property. We have also reviewed Site Development plans prepared by In conducting our site wetland evaluation, we followed the general procedures for the routine on-site methodology as outlined in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (March 1997). This procedure involves analysis of vegetation patterns, soil conditions, and near-surface hydrology in making a determination of wetland conditions. Our scope of work included site visitS in April, 2005 to complete the wetland evaluation and flag the limits of the site wetlands and in October, 2005 to review site conditions for preparation of this report. We had also made a preliminary site visit in May, 2004. Th~lJJlgg tland ints have been surveyed and plotted on project maps as shown on project design plans by Schweiki and Associa~ and on the Site MapjEigur.e.2)~. __ ~ WETLAND EVALUATION PROCEDURES For the purpose of this study, we used the wetland definition adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers (COE) for administering Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. According to this definition, wetlands are: , ''Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under nonnal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas." (33 CFR 323) 518 North 59th Street, Seattle, Washington 98103-Phone (206)783-1036 email aldernw@comcast.net Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 In Washington State, the Shoreline Management Act and Growth Management Act have amended this definition to exclude some wetland situations by adding the following sentences to the wetland definition: Wetlands do not include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non-wetland sites, including but not limited to, irrigation and drainage ditches, grass-lined swales, canals, detention facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, farm ponds, and landscape amenities, or those wetlands created after July I, 1990, that were intentionally created as a result of the construction of a road, street or Highway. Wetlands may include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non- wetland areas to mitigate the conversion of wetlands. Delineation procedures are based on diagnostic environmental indicators of wetland vegetation, wetland soils, and wetland hydrology. These procedures, outlined in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (March 1997) are commonly known as a Triple Parameter Method. By definition, an area is designated as wetland when there are positive indicators for all three parameters. A listing of plant species has been developed for use in the methodology for delineating wetland areas. This listing assigns plant species to one of five indicator status categories ranging from Obligate wetland species, which almost always occur in wetlands, to Upland species, which rarely occur in wetlands. Under normal conditions, hydrophytic vegetation is determined to be present if more than 50 percent of the dominant species are in the Obligate (OBL), Facultative Wetland (FACW), or Facultative (FAC) indicator categories. Diagnostic indicators of hydric soils are related to soil saturation, which leads to anaerobic conditions in the soil. Under these conditions, decomposition of organic material is inhibited and soil minerals are reduced, creating characteristic soil colors that can be quantified by comparison with Munsell Soil Color Charts. A chroma of one or less in unmottled soils or a chroma of two or less in mottled soils generally indicates a hydric soil. In addition, soils that are saturated during the growing season satisfy a criterion for hydric soils. We used a hand auger and or shovel to collect soil samples from depths of 8 to 18 inches, or below the A horizon. Wet1and hydrology is defined as inundated or saturated soil conditions for at least 14 consecutive days during the growing season. If no water is present at the time of evaluation, other indicators may include topographic low points or channels, flood debris, complete absence of vegetation, or presence of hydric soils. GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS The subject property is an approximately 2.7 acre property located in the 3400 block of Wells Avenue South in the City of Renton, as shown on Figure 1. South 34th Street right-of-way runs through the middle of the property. At present the property is undeveloped. Adjacent properties to the east and north of the project are occupied by existing single family residences of the Winsper development. A new residential development, Cherie Lane is under construction on the property to the south. The site is occupied by a mixed conifer-deciduous for_est stand pf composed of mostly deciduous trees. Oregon ash (Fraxinus lati/olia), red alder (Alnus rubra) black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), and big leaf maple (Acer macrophy/lum) are the common deciduous trees species on the property. Western red cedar (Thuja plicata) is the Project No. 20104 Page No. 2 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 common conifer tree present on the property. Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), snowberry (Symphoricarpos alba), hazelnut (Corylus cornuta), and Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor) are common shrub species present. There are existing sanitary sewer and storm drain pipes following the alignment of the South 34th Street alignment across the property. Th~e pipe lines were installed sometime after 1996; Construction of the pipelines resulted in disturbance to the site in an approximately 30ft wide strip, in an east west orientation through the property. Soils across the property and on much of the surrounding area are mapped as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (Soil Survey of King County, Washington, U.S. Soil Conservation Service, 1973). The Alderwood series is made up of moderately well-drained soils that have a weakly to strongly consolidated substratum at depths of between 24 and 40 inches. The National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils does not list the Alderwood series as a hydric soil although wetland conditions are common in depressional areas within Alderwood soil units. There has been coal mining activity on properties to the south. There may have been some work related to the coal mining activity on the subject property. Surface soils at some locations on the property show evidence of the past activity, and include some coal mine tailings. Our site observations are not consistent with the Alderwood soil type descriptions. The past mining activity may explain the differences where present. Topographically, the property generally slopes down from about elev. 220 along the eastern property line to the low point of about elev. 182 on the southwest property comer. WETLAND AREAS We have identified the limits of,!hree wetland areas on the-property as shown on the Site Map (Figure 2). A previous study dated September 24, 1996, by B-twelve Associates, Inc. identified two wetland areas on the property. The configuration of the wetlands identified in their report is similar to that identified during the recent work. Over the nine years since their study was completed there has been considerable new development adjacent to the SUbject6 property and the construction of the sanitary sewer and storm drain pipe lines across the property. This work has app~rently affected surface and subsurface drainage patterns on the property, resulting in change in the wetland configuration. Wetland A with an area ofapproximate~230~JV.is located across the east end oftbe property. Wetlan'~~ small area near the property line and west of the south end of Wetland A. Wetland C with an area of approximately; {4,000sq. s the largest of the site wetlands. Each of the site wetlands is an isolated area with nq defined surfa . or outlet. Wetland A Jl51~ Wetland A is an isolated wetland located on the east eDOfthe property. Vegetation within the wetland includes an overstory black cottonwood and western red cedar. Understory shrub species include salmonberry, Himalayan blackberry, and red osier dogwood (Comus stolonifera). Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), soft rush (Juncus effusus), and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) are herbaceous species within the wetland. Using the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetland classification system (Cowardin et al., 1979), the wetland is designated as a ~e forest wetland habitaL ---~ ~~o Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 Hydrologically this wetland is supported by seepage into the northeast end of the area. At the time of observations in April, 2005, there was surface drainage entering the wetland from the existing development to the east. This surface water moved south through the wetland and dissipated over the south end of the area. tl, ~q-,~ mte . ~ t the wetland would satisfy the criteria for designation as a City of Renton Category 2 w· and. The standard buffer for a category 2 wetland in the City of Renton is 50ft. ,- Wetland B Wetland B is a very small isolated wetland of less than 1,000sq.ft, located along the south property line. It is situated within a shallow depression with no defined inlet or outlet. During an initial site visit in April, 2005, soils within the wetland were saturated to near the surface although ~ere was no standing surface water present. Vegetation within the wetland includes black cottonwood and Oregon ash forming a canopy over the wetland, with red osier dogwood and Himalayan blackberry as shrub cover. Herbaceous species present include reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) and other grasses, soft rush (Juncus effusus), and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens). It is our interpretation that the wetland would satisfy the criteria for designation as a City of Renton Category 3 wetland. As a small isolated wetland of less than 2,200sq ft the area caD ~ if mitigation is provided. Mitigation can be provided with storm water treatment and or landscaping. -:g.tigation for filling Wetland B is being partially provided by the storm water treatment system for the project. Additional mitigation for the habitat area of the wetland and buffer is being provided in the buffer averaging design It hereby an additional approximately 2,457sq.ft of upland habitat area is being set aside form development beyond , that which would be provided with the Uinform 5"01l6Uff~ '1 WetiandC ~ •. Wetland C is the largest of the site wetlands, having an area of approximate 14,000~' It is located on the northwest corner of the property. Vegetation within the wetland includes Oregon ,bcl? cottonwood and some western red cedar (Thuja plicata) trees. Understory shrub vegetation includes Himalayan blackberry, snowberry and, salmonberry. Herbaceous vegetation includes, reed canary grass soft rush. Using the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetland classification system (Cowardin et al., 1979), the wetland is designated as a palustrine forest wetland habitat. {yJ1\(" 'b6\~ Hydrologically, the area is supported by groundwater seepage. The interior topography is somewhat hummocky, creating scattered low areas. At the time of our observations in April, 2005, there was shallow surface water in isolated depressions. There is no defined surface inlet or outlet for the wetland. It is our interpretation that the wetland would satisfy the criteria for designation as a City of Renton Category 2 wetland. The standard buffer for a category 2 wetland in the City of Renton is 50ft. Project No. 20104 Page No. 4 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 Previous Wetland Study There have been two previous wetland studies addressing wetlands on the Cherie Lane North project and in the immediate vicinity. These include a study by 8-12 Associates, Inc. dated September 24, 1996, which included the subject property and a study by AlderNW dated November 13, 2003, for the Cherie Lane I project immediately to the south. Field work for the 8-12 project was completed in April, 1996, and field work for the Cherie Lane project to the south was completed in April and October, 2003. Field work for the Cherie Lane North project was completed in April and October of 2004. The wetland limits as identified by thes~ studies are illustrated on Figure 4 (Wetland Limits). \J As illustrated on Figure 3, the wetland limits on the Cherie Lane North property have undergone changes since the original was completed by 8-12 Associates in the spring of 1996. Seven years elapsed after the 8-12 Associates work before the Cherie Lane field work was conducted, and eight years elapsed before the Cherie Lane North field work was completed. Over that time period there have been significant changes affecting site drainage patterns within the property boundaries and on the adjacent properties. The identified wetlands are supported in large part by near surface groundwater seepage with some contribution from surface water flows. Soils within the wetlands are typically a clay loam which is relatively impermeable. Wetland hydrology in the site wetlands can be characterized as near surface groundwater seepage and surface water movement into the upslope side of the wetland where it flows across the relatively impermeable soils. Surface water in the wetland dissipates through evapotranspiration and slow infiltration. Surface water is retained within the wetland in shallow depressions. As noted in the 8-12 report, the subject property and wetlands had been subject to disturbance from past coal mine activities. This was also noted in the wetland report for the Cherie Lane project to the south. With this history of site disturbance, near surface hydrology and drainage patterns across the site have been undergoing change. Drainage patterns had been altered on the Cherie Lane property and on the Cherie Lane North property by construction of roads and activities related to the past mining. Since the 8-12 Associates field work /as completed, there have been continuing alterations to the site and upslope areas. Immediately to the east of the subject property, new homes have been constructed. This work involved grading to create building pads and installation of drain lines around the homes. In addition, the sanitary sewer and storm drain line have been constructed along the unconstructed South 34th Street alignment running from east to west across the property. These construction activities on an~ adjacent to the property will have the effect of changing drainage patterns onto and across the property. The level of groundwater reaching the site wetlands likely has been redu~. A typical effect of the construction of ditch lines for sanitary sewers and storm drains is to create subsurface drainage patterns along the bottom of the ditches, and to limit the movement of groundwater laterally across the ditch line. This would have the effect of reducing groundwater support to the site wetlands. With surface water being collected in the storm water treatment system, the level of surface water reaching site wetlands is likewise altered. Surface water runoff reaching the site is affected in terms of the location of discharge and in terms of the timing of discharges. Project No. 20104 Page No. 5 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 The study completed for the Cherie Lane project to the south did not identify wetlands extending northward from the Cherie Lane project onto the Cherie Lane North property. South 34th Place has recently been constructed along the north property line for the Cherie Lane project (off the south property line of Chene Lane North). Wetlands in general and in particular wetlands within developing urban landscapes are dynamic systems. It should be expected that changes in wetland size and position can and will occur over a seven year period. The general pattern of the site wetlands is similar between the 1996 study and the current study for Cherie lane North, although the extent of the wetlands is reduced. The extent Wetlands A and C on Cherie Lane North is consistent with the Cherie Lane study. WILDLIFE HABITAT We have completed a wildlife and habitat evaluation of the project area, The purpose of our work was to document the existing site conditions to identify habitats and potential wildlife use of the property. This work was undertaken to detennine if there are critical habitats on the property which would be subject to regulation under Renton City Code which identifies critical habitats as: ":those habitat areas which meet any of the following criteria: i. The documented presence of species proposed or listed by the federal government or State of Washington as endangered, threatened, sensitive, monitor, or priority; and/or ii. The presence of heron rookeries or raptor nesting areas; and/or iii. Category 1 wetlands (refer to subsection B7b(i) of this Section for classification criteria); and/or iv. Portions of streams and their shorelines designated in the Renton Shoreline Master Program, RMC 4-3-090, as Conservancy or Natural (refer to the Renton Shoreline Master Program). c. Mapping: i. Critical habitats are identified by lists, categories and definitions of species promulgated by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (Non-game Data System Special Animal Species) as identified in WAC 232-12-011; in the Priority Habitat and Species Program of the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife; or by rules and regulations adopted currently or hereafter by the U.S. Fish and WIldlife Service. ii. Referenced inventories and maps are to be used as guides to the general location and extent of critical habitat. Critical habitat which is identified in subsection B5b of this Section, but not shown on the referenced inventories and maps, are presumed to exist in the City and are also protected under all the provisions of this section. iii. The actual presence or absence of the criteria listed above as detennined by qualified professionals, shall govern the treatment of an individual building site or parcel of hmd requiring compliance with these regulations." During the course of site visits to complete the wetland site evaluation we also made notes regarding observation of wildlife species observed on the site. Project No. 20104 Page No. 6 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 The subject property is occupied by one general vegetation cover type. Lowland mixed forest is the predominant vegetation cover type across the property. This cover type is based on the habitat categories listed in the King County Wildlife Study Guidelines for SEPA (1993). Similar categories are listed and described in the King County Wildlife Habitat Profile (1987). The majority of the property is occupied by second or third growth mixed forest with variation in the relative cover by conifers and deciduous trees. The forest cover on the soutlJern portion of the property is generally dominated by deciduous trees primarily black cottonwood and Oregon ash! On the northern section of the property trees present include western red cedar. Wildlife We have prepared a listing of wildlife species (Table 1) observed or likely to be present on the property. This listing is based on species occurrences noted in King County Wildlife Habitat Profile (1987) and on personal experience. Amphibians and Reptiles Other than the Pacific chorus frog (Pseudacris regi/la), no amphibians were observed during our site visits. These species are generally inactive during fall and winter and are most frequently encountered during spring and summer. The cover types on this property, particularly the forested wetland and adjacent second-growth forest, should provide habitat for several other species of amphibians. The most likely species are the northwestern salamander (Ambystoma graCile) and long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum). The presence of amphibians on the site is limited by the absence of areas of standing water which might provide breeding habitat for amphibians. The most likely reptiles to be found in the habitats available on this property are the northern alligator lizard (Elgaria coerulea) and garter snakes (Thamnophis spp.). Table 1 lists other amphibians and reptiles that could be expected in the habitats present on this site. The species listed in Table 1 are based on tables provided by King County (1987) for the habitats described above and on our evaluation of the existing site conditions. Birds Because of their high levels of daytime activity and vocalizations, birds are the most commonly encountered group of vertebrates. Some of the commonly observed species on the site were the black-capped chickadee (Parus atricappilus), American robin (Turdus migratorius), winter wren (Troglodytes troglodytes), and song sparrow (Melospiza melodia). A large number of migratory songbirds including flycatchers, warblers, and vireos are expected on this site during the breeding season. The most likely raptors to use this site are the great homed owl (Bubo virginianus), Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cooperi), and red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis). Table 1 lists other bird species expected in the habitats available on this property. Mammals Most mammals tend to be secretive and nocturnal, and our observations reflect a relatively small proportion of species that may actually exist on the subject property. We observed coyote (Canis latrans) scat on trails around the Project No. 20104 Page No. 7 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 property. A large nest, probably built by an eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), was located in the deciduous forest near the north side of the property. Other common mammals that are likely to be present on the site include opossum (Didelphis virginiana), deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), and raccoon (Procyon lolor). Several species of bats are also likely to be present in these habitats during the summer. Table I lists other mammal species expected to occur in the habitats available on this site. Threatened. Endangered. or Sensitive lTES) Species Critical Habit Two wildlife species included on Washington State listings ofTES could be found on or in the vicinity of the subject property. These include the Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), and pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus). Neither of these species is listed as threatened in the state of Washington. The closest aquatic habitat which might support either bull trout or Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), is in May Creek approximately 2 miles north of the property. Honey Creek where it is present within the wetland along the east side of the project does not include habitat for either Chinook salmon or bull trout. Bald eagles are found throughout the Puget Sound region. They are most commonly observed along lake or river shores although they may be found foraging over a large area and may roost in larger trees away from bodies of water. No bald eagles were observe on or near the project site. The project site is away from any large bodies of water where they would be likely to build nests. Pileated woodpeckers generally inhabit mature and old-growth forests, or second-growth forests with sufficient large snags and fallen trees (Rodrick and Milner 1991). Pileated woodpeckers are also reported to use open woodlands, parks, and wooded suburbs (Ehrlich et al. 1988) and are regularly seen in those habitats in King County. They excavate cavities in snags or large dead branches for nesting and usually make a new nest cavity every year. Nest snags are usually greater than 27 inches in diameter and taller than 87 feet. There are few large snags within the subject property which could be used by pileated woodpecker. During our site visits we did not note the presence of any individuals nor did we note any trees with characteristic pileated woodpecker foraging cavities. There is not extensive habitat area on the property or in the near vicinity which is suitable for pileated woodpecker foraging. Great blue herons are not included on the Washington State TES lists although the presenCe of heron rookeries is identified as a critical habitat in the City of Renton. No great blue herons were observed on the site during our site visits and there are no heron rookeries in the near vicinity of the project site. Herons are not likely to use the residential habitats on the property and in the near vicinity Red-tailed hawks are likewise not included on the Washington State TES lists although raptor nests are identified as critical habitat in the City of Renton. No red-tailed hawks were observed on or in the near vicinity of the property. Based on our review of existing site conditions it is our conclusion that there are no critical habitat areas as defined in . the City of Renton codes, within or in near proximity to the Cherie Lane North project boundary. Project No. 20104 Page No. 8 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT -WETLAND IMPACTS It is proposed to develop the 2.7 acre property for construction of a 9 lot residential development as shown on project maps by Schweikl and Associates and on the Site Map (Figure 2). Access to the project will be provided from South 34th Place which has been partially completed as part of the Cherie Lane project along the south property line. With the exception of the small isolated Wetland B, the site wetlands will be set aside from development within designated Wetland Tracts. As designed, the project will not result in direct impacts to the preserved site.wetlands. The tracts include the wetland areas with a minimum 25ft wide buffer, in accordance with provisions of the Renton ~ Code which allow buffer averaging. (f;fxd\v...r.1.J:Au..( clUi I . tyB--1!ffer Width Avera";". eY'0,Yw":>' WA.\v C ~L<fI!J .~ Buffer width averaging may be allowed in accordance with RMC where the following steps are taken: lJ'e/1~~ 1. That the wetland contains variations in ecological sensitivity or there are existing physical improvements in or near the wetland and buffer; and ii. That width averaging will not adversely impact the wetland function and values; and iii. That the total area contained within the wetland buffer after averaging is no less than that contained within the required standard buffer prior to averaging; and iv. A site specific evaluation and documentation of buffer adequacy based upon The Science of Wetland Buffers and Its Implications for the Management of Wetlands, McMillan 2000, or similar approaches have been conducted. The proposed buffer standard is based on consideration of the best available science as described in WAC 365-195-905; or where there is an absence of valid scientific information, the steps in RMC 4-9- 250F are followed. v. In no instance shall the buffer width be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) of the standard buffer or be less than twenty five feet (25ft) wide. Greater buffer width reductions require review as a variance per subsection N3 of this Section and RMC 4-9-250B; and vi. Buffer enhancement in the areas where the buffer is reduced shall be required on a case-by-case basis where appropriate to site conditions, wetland sensitivity, and proposed land development characteristics. vii. Notification may be required pursuant to subsection F8 of this Section. Wetland bufers are vegetated upland areas adjacent to and generally surrounding wetlands. As such buffers are they provide beneficial functions within the urbanizing landscape in their realtionship to the the wetland and as upland habitat area. They provide beneficial functrions as an element of the preserved wetland and as preserved upland habitat.

UIt eJ (J\ e __ Y V II!fbJ] Buffer averaging is being applied to Wetlands A and C. Both of these wetlands have been ected by past activiti~ on and adjacent to the property. These include construction of the water and sanitary sewer lines across the property, construction of the existing residential developments to the north and south, and the development under construction to the south. These activities have involved clearing and grading activity within the wetlands and the buffers for the two wetlands. This past activity has affected the majority of the buffer area surrounding the site wetlands. The on~ section of the buffer which was minimally affected is on the north end of Wetland A which remains forested. This area is being preserved and expanded with the buffer averaging. -- L ___ ~~ __ ----~~------------~~ Buffor averaging elements (ii, iii iv, v and vi) Buffers as an integral unit of the wetland system in urban environment in providing protection to the wetland habitat, and in providing what have been identified as "sink" and "source" functions. They act to provide protection to the wetland in the form of generating a physical barrier between human activity and the wetland. "Sink" functions are those that in effect absorb impacts before reaching the wetland. They serve to moderate water level fluctuations in the wetland; they to mediate chemical and physical impacts to the wetland from erosion, movement of sediments and pollutant into the wetland; and to moderate temperatue in the wetland. "Source" functions include the roles served to the wetland system to support wildlife habitat, provide biotic input to the wetland system, and for their role in mediating effects of human disturbance to wetland associated wildlife. These "sink" and "source" functions are related to the vegetative cover on the buffer, the total area of buffer habitat included, the width of the buffer, surrounding topography, and the level of development within the surrounding urban landscape. Existing residential development activity on and immediately adjacent to the subject property have affected the effectiveness of the wetland buffers. The buffer width has been reduced along the northeast comer of Wetland A. Construction of the waeter and sanitary sewer lines across the property have affected soil conditions and vegetative cover within a portion of Wetland A and the buffer for Wetland C. Additionally the site had been partially cleared in the past, reducing the forest canopy cover allowing the establishment of non native species incliding Himalayan blackberry and reed canarygrass. With buffer avaraging as being proposed for this project there will be no loss in total wetland buffer area maintained within the project. There will be a net increase in the total buffer area which would be provided with a unifon"ilsOft -~ .buffer, of approximaely 2,457sq.ft. With the provision of a somewhat larger habitat area being provided wihtin the two Wetland Tracts, there will be no significant reduction in the "source" buffer function. The preserved buffers can effectively provide roles in maintaining wildlife habitat, and in providing biological support by way of maintaining input of nutrients and organic matter into the sytem. Project No. 20104 Page No. 10 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 This function within the developed project can be maintained and enhanced with the implementation of buffer enhancement plantings as proposed for the project. As the vegetative cover on the buffer grows and matures the effectiveness in providing a physical barrier will be increased. This function can be further enhanced by the installation of fencing to limit encroachment into the designated wetland tracts. "Sink" functions to protect the wetland will be maintained in part by design of the stonn water treatment system. This system can control the movement of stonnwater into and through the wetland to minimize impacts on wetland hydrology. This system will likewise limit the movement of untreated run off into the wetlands. [; proposed buffer averaging including enhancement plantings within the buffer can maintain a level of wetland ;]d buffer function comparable to that which would be provided if a unifonn 50ft buffer were provided within the residential dev~lopment. .D JjM . n6~ onJ\ \[I~ ~ New Water Lme Co.strud.o. r f\ C$ a.~~. l% A new water line is proposed to be constructed acroPs the west side of the property. This water line is being constructed to satisfy water service requirements for this property and other residential developments in the area. Construction of the water line will involve temporary disturbance to approximately 3,030sq.ft. of the buffer for WetlandB. A vegetation restoration planting plan will be prepared when construction design plans are finalized for the project. This planting plan will include details on the number, spacing and species to be placed on the disturbed soils within the water line easement area. All plant materials to be included in the planting plan will be native to the area, and to the extent possible species selected will be those native species present on the property. Native trees and shrubs will be included. These plantings are intended to supplement natural regeneration and to accelerate the establishment of native shrub cover on the disturbed area. With the implementation of a restoration plan, the impacts from construction of the water line on the wetland buffer can be minimized to the extent possible and the disturbed areas returned to a stable condition, with native vegetative cover. A final restoration plan will be prepared and submitted for review as final development plans are prepared. \ The restoration plan will be implemented with the buffer enhancement plantings. -~, /~f/"Buffer Mitigation/Enhancement Planting Plan / , , " . / We have prepared a conceptual buffer mitigation/enhanCement plan for the project. The general design intent of this plan is to increase the density of native trees and shrubs within the preserved buffer and to control the growth of non native invasive species including Himalayan blackberry, and reed canarygrass, among others included on the DOE listing of invasive species. Project No. 20104 Page No. 11 Mr. Steve Beck March 2, 2006 This conceptual plan is prepared to demonstrate the feasibility of construction the project to meet City of Renton requirements for preserving wetland and. buffer function. A final plan will be prepared as final construction design plans are completed. The wetlandlbuffer enhancement plan involves four objectives: 1. Control the growth of invasive plants, including Himalayan blackberry and Scot's broom (Cytisus scoparius) and others as included on the DOE listing of non native invasive species. 2. Increase the overall cover of native trees and shrubs. 3. Increase the native plant species diversity. 4. Restore the area affected by water line construction. As final project design plans are prepared a final mitigation plan will be prepared. This plan will include details as required by the City ofNewcastIe. o Construction plan o Planting plan showing details of plant numbers, species and spacing o Monitoring methodology.
