where it commences approximately 110 feet west of the intersection of
Oakesdale Ave SW and SW 16th Street and proceeds south for 1,450 linear
feet. The trail has numerous cracks and upheavals due to adjacent large tree
root systems. The project will remove approximately 3,300 square feet of the

inches of asphalt paving. The tree roots below the trail and up to a foot from
the trail will be cleanly cut and removed as part of the renovation project. This

WATER BODY:Springbrook Creek
An exemption from a Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit is hereby Approved on the
proposed project in accordance with RMC 4.9.190C 'Exemption from Permit System' and for the following
reasons:
WAC 173.27.040(2)(b) Normal maintenance or repair exemption. Vegetation maintenance along the banks
prevents a decline from a lawfully established condition.
The King County Drainage District No. 1 is requesting a Shoreline Exemption to allow for the maintenance of
11,197 lineal feet of shoreline along the Springbrook Creek from SW 43rd Street to SW 16th Street. The
project involves the removal of overgrown vegetation including grass and brush along the banks of the creek
to reduce blockage of the forward flow of the channel. Vegetation will be removed from the edge of
Springbrook Creek within a 10.foot wide area from the edge of the waterway. Brush would be cut at a
height no greater than 6.inches above the existing ground. A measuring device that is 10 feet in length will
be used to verify adequate brush removal from within the clearing zone. Cut brush and grass from the site
will be removed and disposed of outside of the floodplain. In addition, garbage and debris within the
channel will be removed as authorized by the Drainage District.
Vegetation removal will occur annually between September 15 and December 31. All cut vegetative debris
will be promptly removed and no fallen trees in the channel will be removed without authorization. All work
will be completed above the Ordinary High Water Mark with the exception of possible removal of
trash/debris in the water.
The Drainage District has provided a proposed enhancement plan that would be implemented in certain
areas of corridor where work will be performed. Enhancement plants consist of Big Leaf Maple, Paper Birch,
Pacific Dogwood, Oregon Ash, Pacific Ninebark, Quaking Aspen, Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, and
Western Hemlock. Possible plant substitutes accceptable to the District include Red Alder, Western White
Pine, Bitter Cherry, Cascara, Vine Maple, Red.Osier Dogwood, Western Hazelnut, Black Hawthorn, Osoberry,
Wood Rose, Salmonberry, and Snowberry.
Previous Shoreline Exemption Permits have been issued (LUA97.142, LUA00.129, LUA05.070, LUA07.076,
and LUA11.087). The current permit expires on August 22, 2017.
The Shoreline Exemption will expire September 27, 2022.
