Scope of Work
McCormick Plat Debris Flow Analysis
Otak Project 3 1511
September 18, 2009
The McCormick Plat is located at the base of the hill/ravine below a project that Otak worked on its
2003-2004 called Woodside at McGaryev Park (Orak Project No. 8330). The initial McCormick
preliminary plat application made to King Couiw included a "mitigation berm" at the base of the
hill/ravine to help contain any debris transported down the ravine to the NIcCormick Plat. Since
then, the City of Renton has annexed the. McCormick plat area from King County.
The McCormick flat is currently known as Palle` View, a 47-unit manufactured home community
accessed from Nlaple Valley Highway (SR ] 69) at the base of the ravine.
The City of Renton has requested that the ptinic consultant for the RlcCoriruck plat, Pacific
1'rigineering Design, LLC (Pacific Enginccriigo provide a debris flow analysis.. in response to the
City's request, Pacific Engineering asked OtA, Inc. for this proposal to complete the requested
debris flow analysis on the ravine.
The approach for the debris flow anal)-sis is u> provide an assessment of debris flow potential/risk
based on field observations and measurements of the amount and condition of material currently
accumulated in the railine, make a recommendation of the appropriate level and method of
mitigation, and participate with Pacific Engineering in presenting this recommendation to the City.
Our proposed Scope of work to complete the debris flow analysis includes the flowing tasks and
fees:
Task I— Project Management and Coordination
Task 1.1--Team Coordination and Meetings
Communicate and coordinate with the projcct team throughout the investigation and design
process. This task will include:
• Project conference calls to coordinate field visits and share preliminary findings
• One meeting with the project team.
Task 1.2-- Coordination and Meetings with Pacific Engineering Design
Communicate and coordinate with Pacific f .nginccring Design, LLC throughout the investigation
and design process. This task will include:
• Project conference calls to coordin.it(° tidd visits and share prelinunary findings

• One meeting with Pacific .Engineei-Mg Design.
Task 1.3— Present Findings and Recommendations to the City of Renton
Communicate and coordinate with the project team throughout the investigation and design
process. This task will include:
• Project conference calls to coordinate field visits and share preliminary findings
• One mccting with City of Renton to present findings and recommendations.
Assymption.c
• Total number of conference calls and mcetings will be limited as noted in each sub -task.
Task 2—Geomorphic Investigation
Task 2. 1 —Literature Review
Collect and review available background information pertinent to slope stability and channel
performance. This information will include data already- available from previous studies, including
geology and soils maps, topographic maps, and I A)AR.
Task 2.2—Stream Reconnaissance
The project hydraulics engineer and geotnorphololnst (qualifications provided) will conduct a
detailed reconnaissance of the creek channel and valley slopes. The reconnaissance will include the
full length of the ravine to identify sediment source areas along the valley- walls and in -channel
sediment storage areas- The reconnaissance will include, but will not be limited to, documenting
channel gradient, mapping areas of channel erosion and deposition, debris flow channels, streambed
scour features, and the distribution of streambed grain sizes.
Photograph and characterize streambed sediment grain -size, based on field observations.
Task 2.3---Complete a Geomorphic Evaluation
Evaluate hill slope and in -channel processes contributing to overall channel performance. The
characterization (based on the results of ' ]'asks 2.1 and 2.2) will include qualitative assessments
regarding sediment production mechanisms, flo« dynamics, sediment transport capacity and
channel forming processes.
Task 3—Findings and Recommendation Report
Task 3,1—Report
Prepare a short technical rnemoranduni dcsc:ribing the methodolop, and results of the ravine
reconnaissance, and geomorphic evaluaiton,..11so includes conclusion on risk and quantity of debris
flow and recommendation for any mitigatiull.

validation, field identification of bankfull stage indicators, bed material sampling and analysis
and HEC-R, hydraulic modeling. 'Hiroughout his tenure with Colorado State University
Brett has developed strong workilig relationships with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation
(USBOR), the U.S. Army Corps of Engincers ([,rSACE), and Santa Clara Valley Water District
(SC' \XT)). Much of his research has focused on sediment transport modeling and analysis of
watershed scale stream stability problems, coupling detailed field data collection with state of
the art numerical modeling programs. Brett has presented his research at well respected
international conferences and co-anrltored technical documents for the L?SACE, SCVWD, and
the State of Colorado.

East Lents Floodplain Restoration Project; Portland, Oregon
Geomorphic Assessment/Stream Bank Stability Analysis/Engineering Design
The City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services recently selected Otak to
provide design, engineering and management services for the East Lents Flood
Mitigation Project. The primary goal of the project is to reduce nuisance flooding
of Johnson Creek in the Lents Neighborhood of Portland. Through the City's
Willing Seller's .Program, they have acquired 19 acres of floodplain properties. The
design concept includes excavation of flood storage along Johnson Creek and
restoration of stream/riparian/floodplain habitat. Brett's primary contribution to
this project thus far are; characterization the baseline geomorphic conditions along
the 3300 ft reach, analysis of stream bank stability along the urbanized reach, and
engineering design for the proposed flood mitigation project.
May Creek Habitat Restoration Project; King County, Washington
Hydrologic/Hydraulic Modeling—Otak is working with GeoEngineers and Mid
Sound Fisheries Enhancement Group (Nfid Sound) for King County to evaluate
and recommend fish habitat improvements that also mitigate chronic flooding
along May Creek in King County. The goal of the project is to identify various
habitat improvements that can be implemented and maintained by valley
residents. Viable projects must be easily permitted. Brett conducted the
hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of a suite of potential improvements with
particular emphasis on the changes to the flooding frequency, durations, and
velocities. Many of the proposed projects incorporated flood plain/wetland
enhancement elements. Brett created innovative methods of analyzing the
hydraulic and hydrologic effects of the projects using HE.C-RAS hydraulic
modeling software.

Geotechnicai Secondary Review Completed
Dear Mr. McCormick:
Please find enclosed, the completed Technical Peer Review completed by Kleinefelder. Based on this
Technical Peer Review, additional analysis is recommended in order to support the proposed design or
any new design for debris flow mitigation. This analysis should include estimation of the debris flow
volume, type of debris flow, density, kind and size of debris flow materials, geometry of the blocked
channel area and velocity of debris flow. In addition, the report indicated that the berm "runout"
mitigation system is not required to be within the 65-foot stream buffer to provide protection to the
future residence of the McCormick Plat.
Based on this study, please provide the City with the additional geotechnical analysis as identified within
the provided report and make the following changes to the design of the mitigation berm:
• Provide a "curved vertical impact structure" at the mouth of the ravine;
• Provide a different discharge point for the Beehive grated inlet proposed along the base of the
debris flow mitigation berm;
• Provide for "catchment" of the estimated debris flow volume with high impact energy
dissipating debris flow fencing at the mouth of the ravine;
• Evaluate the run out distance of the debris flow in order to demonstrate that no protection is
required for the residence to the west, or provide protection if the calculated run out reaches
the residence; and
• Relocate the debris flow mitigation berm north of the 65-foot stream buffer area.
Once the additional studies are completed and Plat Maps are updated, please submit 5 full size Plat
Maps and 5 copies of the additional studies to the City in orderto continue review of the subject project
application. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at (425) 430-7314.

We prepared a geotechnical engineering report regarding the proposed subdivision project dated
April 1, 2008. Furthermore, we prepared some response letters in September and October of 2008
based on comments by King County and Renton. This letter is to provide further clarification to our
report and to summarize the observations that we made following the recent, very significant
precipitation that accumulated in the end of 2008 and beginning of 2009.
We made a visit to the site on January 15, 2009. This was approximately one week after
significant rain had fallen, following a few weeks of some snow and cold weather, which caused
major flooding and some landsliding in Western Washington. The two major areas that we were
looking'at, areas that most greatly affect the proposed development, are the creek that enters near
the southeastern portion of the project site and flows in a half -round culvert at the southern edge of
the site, and the steep slopes at the southern and eastern edges of the project site. With -the
extensive flooding that occurred approximately one week earlier, we would have expected to
observe conditions that indicated great flows occurred in the creek. However, we found that the
amount of flow In the creek never crested the half -round culvert, a culvert that is only 18 inches -in
diameter. The reason we know this is because leaves that fell adjacent to the culvert this fall still
line the edges of the culvert. This would indicate that, even though the precipitation amounts in the
Puget Sound area were significantly above normal, the creek water was able to, flow through the
normal channel that has been established at the site for apparently around 50 years. As we
pointed out in our April 1, 2008 report, a new subdivision (McGarvey Park Division 5,6) was
established within the last 5 years upslope of the project site that has lessened the amount of water
in the creek's drainage basin. Surface water from the undeveloped subdivision site used to flow
into the creek that flows through the project site. Stormwater from McGarvey Park subdivision now
discharges to another ravine/creek that is west of the project site. We have attached a drawing
from the McGarvey Park project's plans illustrating the above -described stormwater system. In our
opinion, the amount of water that flowed through the creek during the recent major precipitation
event is evidence that the amount of water in the creek now is less than before the McGarvey Park
subdivision was constructed. Thus, the potential for erosion and landsliding due to water
associated with the creek is now (less than in the past.
During our January 15 visit, we also observed the condition of the slopes that border the southern
and eastern sides of the proposed development. As noted earlier, several landslides had occurred
Valley View Mobile Park, LLC JN 08070
February 19, 2009 Page 2
in the Puget Sound area in the preceding week because of the precipitation: If landsliding were to -
have occurred on the slopes at the site, recently downed vegetation, soil exposures, soil sloughing;
and/or water emanating from the slopes would have been seen. However,.we did not observe any
of these conditions. We observed that the slopes were in the same condition as we had observed
in preparation of our reports prior to the recent significant precipitation. -
The plans for the project include a 65-foot-buffer from the existing steep slope on the southern side_
Of the proposed housing development; this buffer includes a debris berm. A 25-foot buffer is
proposed from the slope on the eastern side of the development. This -has been detailed in -our.
April 1 report. The plans for the project alsc include minimum 15-foot building- setback from the
buffers, thus the overall setback distances for the proposed houses in the development will be at
least 80 feet from the southern slope and 40 feet from the eastern slope. The southern slope is..
more critical than the eastern slope, and that is- why the setback distances. vary.-, Several
developments are located to the west of the subject site that is situated .near the base of slopes
that are very similar and contiguous to the southern slope on the subject site. A summary of the' -
information we obtained and/or observations we made at these sites is as -.follows....
« We observed the subdivision that is directly west of the site, Summerfield, has residences -- .
which are located approximately 25 feet from the steep southern slope. This is.obviously a -.-
shorter distance that what is proposed at the subject site. Summerfield has a ravinelcreek .
that.extends down to it from the slope above, similar to the subject site: As noted earlier,
stormwater from the subdivision above the subject site (McGarvey Park Division 5,6) is now
diverted into that ravine/creek, thus it appears that more water is now flowing there than 5
years ago (when the subdivision was developed). We did not see any evidence of any
landslide or debris flow issue during our recent visits, and the houses near the stream and
the base of the hillside appear to be very intact and stable. In addition, we found
documentation from just prior to the construction of the subdivision in 1986 that indicates a
debris flow was accounted for in the project design. The site of the design debris flow
would fit into a 35-foot by 35-foot area. The catchment area on the subject site is much
larger than this area, thus the amount of debris flow that can be contained on the subject
site well exceeds the design debris -flow used for the Summerfield development.
River Valley Condominiums are located west of Summerfield. We found .documentation
that the closest building to the steep southern slope is approximately 60 feet. Other
buildings have greater setback distances, but those appear to be governed by wetlands
and not the steep slopes. We did not see any indications of slope movement or instability
where the one building is closest to the steep southern slope during our recent visits.
+ The New Life Church is located west of the River Valley Condominiums. Records indicate
that a diversion berm was constructed between the steep southern slope and building
(similar to what is being proposed at the subject site). The berm protects both the church
and its educational wing. Records indicate that a setback of 'at least 50 feet' be
maintained from the steep southern slope. Based on our observations, the setback is in
the range of 65 to 70 feet. Again, no signs of instability were observed during -our recent
visits.
In summary, the plan for the project site is to have at least an 80-foot setback from southern slope
and a 40-foot setback from the less critical eastern slope. The 80-foot setback is greater than all
the nearby developments that are adjacent a very similar southern slope. Therefore, we believe
that the 80-foot setback distance from the southern slope is extremely adequate based on the
setback distances of the nearby developments. The 40-foot setback from the site's eastern slope
is more than the 25-foot setback on the adjacent Summerfield project. The Summerfield project
was observed to be stable following the recent flood ing/lands liding event. The southern slope on

SUBJECT: McCormick Plat
LUA08-068, PP, ECF (Formerly King Co. File No. L08P0003)
"On Hold" Notice
Dear Mr. McCormick:
The subject project was scheduled for a SEPA determination at the Environmental Review
Committee (ERC) on Monday, January 5, 2009. After review of.the environmental issues for the
McCormick Plat, the Environmental Review Committee determined that there was not enough
information for them to make a SF -,PA determination. The Committee determined that an
independent secondary review of the provided "Preliminary Geotechrucal Engineering Report",
would allow for full disclosure of the landslide and steep slope hazards on site,. The Committee
further determined that this secondary review- shall be conducted by Klcinfelder, and the expenses
shall be paid by the applicant.
Based on the ERC's determination City staff sent a request to Kleinfelder for a cost estimate for
the secondary review (enclosed). The secondary review would include the evaluation of the
following items:
• A geotechnical review and analysis of the site identifying potential impacts and
appropriate mitigation measures;
+ A peer review of the geotechnical report and letters prepared by the Geotech Consultants;
+ Assessment of the proposed debris flow mitigation berm including options that might be
more effective;
• Comments on whether the berm could be located to the north of the proposed design to
allow location outside of the 6-5-foot stream buffer; and
• As appropriate, additional comments on minimizing the risk to life and safety related to
potential debris flows.
In order to proceed with the secondary review, the applicant shall submit to the City of Renton a
check for the estimated amount of $6,000.00 made out to the City of Renton. This check can be
delivered attention to Vanessa Dolbee, Associate Planner. Once the City receives the funds, we
will contact Kleinfelder to commence the secondary review process. The applicant will receive a
copy of Kleinfelder's review once it is complete and the project will go back to the
Environmental Review Committee for a STPA determination.

Kleinfelder is pleased to submit this proposal to provide a technical peer review of
geotechnical aspects of the proposed review of the proposed McCormic Plat at 16405
SE Renton -Maple Valley Road (SR 169) in King County. This proposal is based on
your letter request to us dated January 14, 2009. Attached to your letter were several
reports and plans related to the project. We understand that a major concern is the
risks associated with an upslope debris flow and the developer's proposal to construct a
debris flow mitigation berm.
We propose to review the information provided to us, perform geotechnical analyses as
appropriate and visit the site. We assume that permission for us to visit the site will be
obtained by others. Based on this information and evaluations we will provide the
recommendations and conclusions requested in your letter which included:
• A geotechnical review and analyses of the site identifying potential impacts and
appropriate mitigation measures;
• A peer review of the geotechnical report and letters prepared by Geotech
Consultants;
• Assessment of the proposed debris flow mitigation berm including options that
might be more effective;

• Comments on whether the berm could be located to the north of the proposed
design to allow location outside of the 65-foot stream buffer;
• As appropriate, additional comments on minimizing the risk to life and safety
related to potential debris flows.
We estimate that the fee for this work will be $6,000 and will perform in accordance with
our Master Agreement with the City of Renton. We can start our work as soon as we
receive notice to proceed with our work completed in about two weeks. After the first
week, we would suggest meting with you to discuss our findings and recommendations
prior to preparing our written report.
We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and look forward to working with
you on this project. Please sign and return the attached form for our records. If you
have any questions or need additional information, please contact the undersigned at

for the future residents of the proposed neighborhood. As such, in addition to the general
geotechnical analysis and the peer evaluation of the Preliminary Geotechnical Report„
please evaluate the effectiveness of the "debris flow mitigation berm" proposed for
landslide protection and if its location within the 65-foot stream buffer is necessary for its
function (could the berm be moved north outside of the buffer area?) In addition, could
you please provided recommendations for mitigation to best protect human life and safety
within the subject development proposal as it pertains to geotechnical hazards.

Notice of Application and Proposed Determination of Non -Significance, Mitigated
Vanessa,
The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Fisheries Division has reviewed the Notice of Application including the proposed mitigation
measures, the environmental checklist; the Critical Areas Report; and the October 7 2008 ecological justification letter
from the applicant's consultant. We apologize for the delay in our response to these materials; Tribal offices were closed
from Dec 17 through Dec 25 due to weather and holidays. We finally completed our review and have some questions and
initial comments about this proposal.
1. Per the Critical Areas Report, King County staff previously determined that the onsite stream in a Type N
waterbody (i.e. non -fish bearing), which was attached to the Critical Areas Report. We did not receive a copy of
this letter with our copy of the Critical Areas Report and would like a copy. Please send one if the City has it; if
not, please request one from the applicant. We would like to verify that the water typing is correct for this project.
2. Please clarify if this project will comply with the King County code required 65 foot stream buffer (assuming the
water typing is correct) or if this buffer will be impacted by any aspect of the project. The ecological justification
letter implies that there will be a "debris flow berm" within the north side 65' stream buffer for the plat, but there is
no discussion about this berm in the Critical Areas Report or the checklist; its purpose; potential impacts from this
berm and the proposed mitigation for berm impacts. As part of this analysis, there should be about why the 65
foot buffer on the north side of the stream would be revegetated with grass only once existing structures and
infrastructure is removed and how grass will serve to restore riparian functions at this site.
3. Please clarify the purpose of the existing half culverts in the stream on site. These culverts should be removed as
part of this project if they are not providing access crossings to the southern portion of the site.
4. We would also like to review the proposed buffer reduction and planting proposal for the wetlands and stream.
5. Please clarify how the applicant proposes to route stormwater to the Cedar River without affecting the wetlands or
the Type N stream. This approach would require piping stormwater offset underneath SR 169 and through
downstream properties. Since there is no discussion about easements or other agreements with downstream
property owners, it is not clear how the stormwater will be routed directly to the Cedar River. Also, the Critical
Areas report implies that all stormwater will be infiltrated and treated or dispersed. See condition 4 from KCC
21A.24.325.2a as identified on page 8 of the Critical Areas Report. The Critical Areas Report indicates that all
seven measures from this section of King County Code will be applied to this project. Please clarify how
stormwater will be managed from this site and what stormwater standard will apply to this project.
We appreciate the opportunity to review this proposal and your assistance in obtaining additional information/analyses as
requested above.
Thank you,

SUBJECT: McCormick Preliminary Plat LUA 08-068
We have reviewed the subject Environmental and Development application for a
proposed plat recently annexed. The following are comments related to the
environmental impacts, policy, and other code -related comments:
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
WATER The property is currently not served by a public water system. There is a
10-inch Ductile iron pipe stub extended to the site from the Plat of Valley
Faire. The water stub is approximately 8.2 feet away from the sewer
main. These facilities are part of the Cedar River Water and Sewer
District system
SEWER There are existing sewer lines servicing this site. The sewer lines are
basically following the existing driveway loop, and they drain to the sewer
main for the Plat of Valley Faire, through a sewer easement. These lines
are facilities of the Cedar River Water and Sewer District.
STORM The site contains steep slopes, wetlands and an unnamed stream. The site
is located in the Cedar River basin. A Level 1 analysis was provided in
compliance with the 2005 KCSWDM.
STREETS The site is fronted on the North by SR 169, or Maple Valley Highway.
Three is no current dedicated right of way access to the site from SR 169.
SR 169 is a Washington State Highway, and therefore requires that the
design of frontage improvements be reviewed and approved by that entity.

CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON
RESOLUTION NO. 3082
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, ADOPTING
A PARK AND RECREATION FACILITIES MITIGATION POLICY AND
FEE AND DECLARING IT A SEPA POLICY.
WHEREAS, the City of Renton has a Parks Master Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that there are presently park
and recreation needs being unmet in the City; and
WHEREAS, new development is quickly creating a demand for
additional park and recreational facilities; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has been presented with a Park and
Recreation Mitigation Fee Policy which seeks to impose on new
development a portion of the cost to meet the needs created by new
development under the Parks Master Plan; and
WHEREAS, on February 14, 1994 the City adopted a prior
resolution adopting a Park and Recreation Facilities mitigation
policy and fee and declaring it a SEPA policy; and
WHEREAS, that policy and fee underwent subsequent SEPA review
which arguably requires the City to readopt the resolution;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RENTON,
WASHINGTON, DO RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. The above recitals are found to be true and
correct in all respects.
SECTION II. The City Council of the City of Renton hereby
adopts the Park and Recreation Facilities Mitigation Fee Policy
which is attached hereto as a policy of the City of Renton.
RESOLUTION NO. 3082
SECTION III. The City Council of the City of Renton adopts
the Park and Recreation Facilities Mitigation Fee Policy as a SEPA
policy.
SECTION IV. The City Council directs the staff and
administration to utilize this policy as guidance in mitigating the
environmental effects of new development. However, should any
applicant refuse to avail itself of the Park and Recreation
Facilities Mitigation Fee Policy, then the City staff and
administration shall independently analyze the environmental
impacts of the proposed development on the park and recreation
facilities of the City. The City staff may require the applicant
to prepare studies for the City to assist it in such independent
analysis. Mitigation would then be imposed on the basis of the
independent analysis. Likewise, should the staff reviewing a
project determine that there are specific attributes of the project
that make this mitigation policy inadequate or unworkable, then the
staff is authorized to require additional studies and/or
environmental review and to impose mitigation outside the scope of
this policy.

RES.399:7/20/94
DEVELOPMENT MPACT MITIGATION POLICY
FOR PARK AND RECREATION FACILITIES
INTRODUCTION
The City's Park and Recreation Plan provides development policies and design standards for various
types of parks, open space areas, trail systems and special recreation facilities_ This plan provides a
strategy for offering recreation services based on needs created by expected population growth.
Currently the City is deficient in certain types of park land and facilities. This need is expected to
become even more critical as the City continues to undergo strong growth pressures. 1n order to
meet these needs, new financial resources will be required.
The impact of new development can be partially mitigated by requiring developers to dedicate park
land, contribute monies for the acquisition and/or development of new park sites, assist in improving
existing park sites or provide recreation opportunities within a project itself. This mitigation will be
in proportion to the need created by the new development. The policies described herein discusses
how impact mitigation will be used to help partially offset and the costs of growth in Renton. The
cost of correcting existing deficiencies and the cost of satisfying a portion of the needs created by
growth will be funded by public monies.
GENERAL APPROACH
Residential development occurring in the City of Renton is subject to the impact mitigation fee policy
stated herein. Projects specifically excluded are:
(1) Construction or location of any residential structures of four dwelling units or less;
(2) Option to be considered by City Council: low income housing which is defined for
purpose of this policy to include:
(a) Housing constructed under a governmentally assisted financing program under which the
development is rent controlled for low-income housing and/or the owner is contractually
required to maintain the development as low-income housing for a specified period of time no
less than ten years, or the housing is constructed by a Housing Authority as low income
housing as defined by the Housing Authority. Should there be any question as to whether or
not a development falls within this definition, the administering person should look to the
intent of the section which is to exempt housing from payment of this fee when that housing
is dedicated to the poor and infirm. For purposes of defining the term "poor," if no other
criteria applies, then a person would be defined as "poor" when they qualify for supplemental
social security income under the then existing rules.
It is the intent of this policy to require developers to pay for park improvements based on the impact
of their development upon the City's parr and recreation system. Impacts are measured by the
expected number of users within a proposed project. Section V and VI of the Comprehensive Park
and Recreation Master Plan provides participation rates and demand for recreation areas and
facilities based on a per capita basis. Standards developed in Section VIH convert this demand into
quantifiable amounts of park areas and facilities based on a desired level of service by the City. Fees
are to be collected at time building permit is issued.
LOCATION OF B PROVEMENTS
For planning purposes the City has been divided into six areas_ However, the park system provides
not only neighborhood parks and community parks, but also regional or community -wide facilities
and area -wide facilities such as portions of trails that connect up with county -wide and multi -county
trails. Planning for the various park facilities generally involves expenditure of funds for park land
acquisition well in advance of construction of improvements. Funds for both acquisition and
development of park facilities must be accumulated over a period of time. If parks fees generated
under this policy can be accumulated and spent on the most desirable project, then there is a
substantial likelihood that the mitigations policy will result in actual mitigation by providing existing
developed and usable facilities.
It will remain a goal of the park planning process to provide neighborhood parks in each planning
area as well as providing community, regional and area -wide parks.
Since the planning will be done on a City-wide basis, all new development covered by this policy will
contribute to the fund. Certain development will have existing park facilities near the development
which have been paid for, in whole or in part, by mitigation fees paid by others more geographically
distant. The fee of the development near the existing park will then go to pay for a park facility
elsewhere in the municipality. In this manner, the park system will be treated as an integrated whole
to provide the maximum benefit to the entire populace of the City.
M , GAT'ION.ALTERNATPVES
Park and facility impact mitigation can be achieved by one or a combination of the following methods
described below.
1. The.P4, . canAgree to land dedication by the developer- 'Dedication of wetlands, shorelines
areas or sensitive areas may be permitted, but only to the degree that such dedication shall
satisfy a recreational need of the City_ Accumulation of undevelopable or sensitive areas
without significant recreational values shall be discouraged as a parks mitigation policy, but
may be encouraged to satisfy other City policies.
2. The deveivW pan pay 0.,h d _qn the formula described herein....
3. Thyvq' can rvtieWrt n-site facilities -or ahat will help stisfyy a portion of
the neighborhood and commurity park needs.
4. The developer can agree to construct needed facilities in a nearby park.
Page 2
5. The developer can propose a combination of the above alternatives that is satisfactory to the
City.
6. Governmental developers such as the school district may meet the mitigation policy by
dedication of land, contracting to provide facilities such as gymnasiums, ballfields, open space
and similar recreational facilities, which contract shall provide for defined hours of use,
description of the facilities or acreage to be provided, and which contract shall be permitted
in nature as long as the facility is being utilized in such a fashion that recreational demands
are created. Any such contract shall be approved by the City as detailed below_
After the developer selects one of the above mitigation alternatives, the proposal must be reviewed
by the staff of the Department of Parks and Recreation and The Board of Parks Commissioners and
approved by ERC before the City can enter into an agreement per Section 2.9.4 Sec F, Ordinance
3706. Specific mitigation measures will be considered on the basis of the City's Park and Recreation
Plan, The Trails Plan, The Comprehensive Plan and other related City documents. Further mitigation
may be imposed by a decision maker under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).

The greatest park and facility need in the City of Renton is for neighborhood and community parks.
These types of park areas traditionally receive the most use by local residents but are the most
difficult to acquire because they are also prime sites for residential or other types of development.
To a lesser extent, residents also use and enjoy community -wide facilities such as trail systems and
general open space but they are generally easier to acquire.
It is assumed that a significant portion of general open space will be undevelopable and will be
acquired through the development process because of their environmental sensitive classification
(steep hillsides, wetlands etc.) Current zoning restrictions protect this, type of land from
development,. Linear parks mostly consist of power line and pipeline easements and are already in
public ownership. Linear park areas will mostly be used for open space and trail systems.
The Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan recommends a standard of 1.2 acres per L000
population for neighborhood parks and 1.1 acres per 1,000 population for community parks. See
Section VH1 for park definitions, development policies and design standards.
B. IMPACT FEE CALCULATIONS
The formula for calculating the impact fees and a sample exercise is shown below. The formula is:
+ Assumes an average cost per acre of R-1 zoned property at $30,000 for park land
acquisition and development cost of $75,000 per acre for neighborhood and
community parks. The actual cost will be determined at the time of the application.
Page 3
* Based on 2.62 persons per single family dwelling unit and 1.7 persons per multi-
family unit. Source: Washington State Office of Financial Management, 1989.
(R)IF = C x S x D where
1,000
(R)IF = Residential Impact Fee
C. = Average cost per acre for acquisition and development (1)
* To be updated annually by the Parks Department.
S = Combined standard (in acres/1,000 residents) for neighborhood and
community parks (1.2 acres + 1.1 acres = 2.3 acres)
D = Average number of occupants per dwelling unit (2)
Sample Exercise:
$105,000 x 2;-3 x 2.62 = $632,73 x 50% = 316.36/single family unit
1,000
$110,000 x_2.3_ x 1_.7.5_ = $442.75 x 50% = 221.37/multi-family unit
1,000
C. MITIGATION POLICIES (Residential Development)
1. The City recognizes the high cost of park acquisition and development would impose a
substantial burden on the developers of single-family and multi -family units. Therefore the City
chooses to impose only one half of the impact fee that would be calculated using the formulas
outlined in section B. The other 50% of the fee will be provided through direct contribution by
the City, through governmental grants or otherwise. For example, the City,'s recent purchases of
land along May Creek, Honey Creek, the wetlands purchase in the valley from Glacier Park, the
NARCO purchase, the Black River Corporate Park purchases and the Puget Power purchase
along the Cedar River are all examples of the City's contribution.
2. Developer, cyan *0cw to 33% of fir share of able pwk � £� �ralue. by pxc�vi� �n-site

space and fa its r psed.- :` hese facilities are listed`';iw file design standards hf the
ComprehensivePark and Recreation Plan.
To calculate the value of on -site improvements, only land and facilities common to a
neighborhood or community park will be considered and any trail must be an expansion or
extension of current plan. These values will be established by the Park and Recreation
Department utilizing cost information determined from similar projects. In no case will
landscaped areas and narrow greenbelts be counted as part of the on -site improvements.

FTheabove requiremetrts are over and above that which;may be required as open space in multi-
y and planned unit developments. Credit will not be given for internrnal walkways or
alks for use by the projeces residents only.
3. A land donation will only be considered if it meets the minimum design and location criteria or it
is or will become part of a large park site. If the donated site is to become part of a larger park
site, the City must be assured that the remaining parcel(s) will be acquired.
4. Construction or fees paid for improvements to a local existing park or facility must meet the
needs of the new development as well as the surrounding neighborhood_ Any improvements to
an existing park must be in conformance to an existing master plan, capital improvement plan or
documents found in the Park and Recreation Plan,

SUBJECT: LUA08-068 McCormick Plat
The proposed development would result in a potential loss of affordable housing in the
Renton community by eliminating approximately 40 existing manufactured home spaces
and replacing them with 34 new single-family residential lots.
The City of Renton policies in the Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan ensure
that housing exists for all economic segments of Renton's population. To the extent
possible, please consider the potential housing impacts that would result as a
consequence of this project and identify appropriate mitigation for these potential
housing impacts. Mitigation should include relocation assistance for the existing
residents of the manufactured home park.

Vanessa — I am writing to comment on the Notice of Application and Proposed DNS-M for this project. The applicant
objects to the condition requiring the payment of relocation assistance, for three reasons.
First, the Washington Supreme Court has determined that such relocation assistance requirements are unconstitutional.
Guimonf v. Clark, 121 Wn.2d 586, 854 P,2d 1 (1993). In Guimonf, the Court found that the Mobile Home Relocation
Assistance Act in effect at the time (former RCW 59.21) that required a park owner to contribute money toward relocation
costs upon park closing was an unconstitutional taking on the grounds that the law was unduly oppressive and therefore
violated park owners' substantive due process rights. Following Guimonf, RCW 59.21 was amended in 1995 to change
the program to what it is now. The relocation fund, now administered by the state, is funded by a $100 fee charged on
every transfer of title for a mobile home, as well as other funding allocated by the legislature. (The program is described
on CTED's web site at http:fiwww.cted.wa.gov/site1484/default.aspx.)
Second, impacts to current residents are economic ones. Economic impacts are not the proper subject of mitigation
under the State Environmental Policy Act ("SEPA").
Third, under SEPA, mitigation may only be imposed if it: (1) addresses a significant adverse environmental impact
identified in an environmental document; and (2) based on a written SEPA policy adopted by the jurisdiction. Here, these
criteria are not met.
For these reasons, the applicant requests that the final DNS-M not include the condition relating to relocation assistance.
Thank you for your consideration of these comments.

Response to "On Hold" Notice
Dear Ms. Dolbee:
We have revised the preliminary plat plans and documents for the project referenced above in
accordance with the "On Hold" notice dated September 19, 2008. The following outline
provides the comments from the "On Hold" letter in italics exactly as written, along with a
narrative response describing how the comment was addressed.
City Comments
The following information will need to be submitted before Wednesday, November 19, 2008, so
that we may continue the review of the above subject application:
1. Item number 5 under "Geotechnical" on the Plat Screening Transmittal (enclosed) has
not been fully addressed. "Please either relocate the debris flow mitigation berm outside
the required stream buffer or provide ecological justification and/or mitigation for
locating it as proposed."
RESPONSE: Please see the letter dated October 7, 2008 prepared by Sewell Wetland
Consulting, Inc. for ecological justification for locating the debris flow mitigation berm
in the stream buffer as currently proposed. Mr. Sewell notes in his report that there is
no buffer function in the present condition. The buffer of 65 feet with the proposed
berm will provide a functional buffer. The protection berm is integral to the function
of the buffer.

PED No. 07093
a. The provided Critical Areas Report, by Sewall Wetland Consulting, inc. did not
address the debris flow mitigation berm within the Stream buffer area; nor did the
report address the mitigation berms effects on the stream`s functions and values.
Please either provided professional ecological justification and/or mitigation
pursuant to KCC 21A.24.380 for locating the debris flow mitigation berm within the
Stream buffer; or move the debris flow mitigation berm outside the buffer area.
RESPONSE: Please see the letter dated October 7, 2008 prepared by Sewell Wetland
Consulting, Inc. for ecological justification for locating the debris flow mitigation berm
in the stream buffer as currently proposed. The mitigation berm does not adversely
affect the stream's function or value. Mr. Sewell states that the stream currently has
no functional buffer of any kind. The removal of existing structures, grading,
restoration and planting of the berm and buffer then provides for a functional buffer
along the stream area. The inclusion of the berm provides protection from intrusion
by users of proposed residences and does not adversely impact the functions of the
proposed buffer in any way.
2. item number 6 under "Geotechnical" on the Plat Screening Transmittal has not been fully
addressed. "A conceptual debris flow mitigation area maintenance plan must be
provided if the proposal will require cleaning or repair after debris flow event. The
conceptual plan must address ownership, access and financial responsibilities.
Engineering details can be deferred until plat engineering plan review."
RESPONSE: Please see the letter dated October 16, 2008 prepared by Geotech
Consultants, Inc. outlining a conceptual maintenance plan for the debris flow
mitigation area including a map showing the area of the site that will potentially need
cleaning and an access route into and out of that area. Also see Conceptual Debris
Flow Mitigation Area Maintenance Plan, attached.
We have carefully considered all options for providing a debris flow mitigation area as
discussed in our meeting. These options include (1) relocating the stormwater pond
for the subdivision; (2) relocating the internal roadway for the project; and (3)
relocating the recreational area and residential lots. The relocation of the stormwater
pond is not feasible due to elevations on the site. The stormwater pond must be
located on the lower portion of the site due to natural storm drainage patterns. In
addition, we find that in attempting to modify the plat as suggested in our meeting
results in a plat requiring two access points to the highway which is very difficult to

PED No. 07093
achieve considering site topography. We also find that lot yield is reduced under that
required for minimum density. We have researched the applicable code provisions for
modification of maximum roadway length and minimum density requirements (KCC
14.42.060 and KCC 21A.12.060.B) and do not believe that modifications could be
granted in this case. In particular, with regard to the minimum roadway length, such a
proposal would pose concerns regarding emergency access.
We performed an analysis of the debris flow mitigation area (also discussed in the
October 16t" meeting) and find that starting behind lot 31 and progressing east
(upstream) to the R-12/RA-5 zone boundary, there is approximately 420 linear feet of
stream buffer that, as designed, will provide approximately 4,000 cubic yards of debris
storage volume between the proposed mitigation berm and the existing hillside. It
should also be noted that there is approximately 1,500 feet between the upstream
pond at McGarvy Park and this project which is treed and will provide additional
debris protection, debris storage and run -out area in case of a catastrophic failure of
the McGarvy Park pond. Our surveyor provided topographic information for
approximately 300 feet of this panhandle and analysis of that portion of the stream
shows that the existing stream "swale" would provide storage of approximately 1,200
cubic yards of debris (at a 4-foot depth of debris) before spilling out into the flatter
portions of the panhandle at certain points. This measured portion represents
approximately only 1/5 of the distance between the site and the McGarvy Park Pond,
so simple extrapolation indicates approximately 6,000 cubic yards of storage for
potential debris before any flows would reach our proposed mitigation area on -site.
The "panhandle" of the site is located outside of the City boundaries and is not
proposed for subdivision. Nevertheless, as a matter of physical reality, this panhandle
will serve as a mitigation and "runout" area for unforeseen events.
We believe that this cumulative storage area would be sufficient to accommodate
debris. In addition, it is important to keep in mind that a debris flow event is
extremely unlikely and would result only from a statistically unlikely combination of
circumstances, including the failure of an off -site detention pond designed to County
standards and approved by the County, unusually high rainflow, and a substantial
seismic event. Further, the development of the proposed subdivision would improve
existing conditions, in which residential uses are located closer to the hillside without
the protection of a berm or buffer area.

3. Conceptual Recreation Pion: Thank you for the conceptual recreation plan submitted
with the September 9th submittal. Although, pursuant to KCC 21A.14.180A.1, residential
subdivisions that have a density of eight units or less per acre require three hundred
ninety square feet of recreational space per unit. The subject project's density is 3.106
dwelling units per acre (36 1ots/11.59 acres = 3.106 du/ac), therefore, 390 square feet
per unit of recreation space is required. As such, the project shall provide a total of
14,040 square feet of recreational space (390 sq. ft. x 36 lots = 14,040 sq. ft.) In
addition, pursuant to KCC 21A.14.190B.1. at least 45 square feet per dwelling unit of
play area shall be provided, with a minimum size of four hundred square feet. As such,
the subject proposal shall provide 1,620 sq. ft. of ploy area (45 sq. ft. x 36 lots = 1,620 sq.
ft). Please redesign the conceptual recreation plan to meet the minimum requirement
pursuant to King County Code.
RESPONSE: The conceptual recreation plan has been revised to provide a minimum of
390 square feet of recreational per lot and 45 square feet of play area per lot. See
revised conceptual landscape plan included. Calculations are shown on the plan.
4. Pursuant to KCC 21A.12.030A, minimum lot width for the R-12 zone is 30 feet. in
addition, pursuant to KCC 21A.12.050B "Lot widths shall be measured by scaling a circle
of the applicable diameter within the boundaries of the lot..." As such, lots 30 and 31 do
not meet the minimum lot requirements for the R-12 zone. Please redesign the
preliminary plot pion so that all lots meet the minimum lot width requirement.
RESPONSE: Lots have been adjusted where necessary to ensure that the 30-foot rule is
met. 30-foot diameter circles have been added to the preliminary plat plans to aid in
reviewing this requirement.

Date of Information Request'June 9,.2008-.
Deadline for Submittal of 1.nformation: SOpfaml err %-2009
Please provide ten (10) copies of the following, unless otherwise noted.
Drainage: The following information must be prepared and stamped by a civil engineer licensed in the State
of Washington.
• Please revise the Level 1 Analysis to show the existing drainage system along the frontage of Valley
Faire. There is a large bypass crass pipe under the Maple Valley Highway at the entrance to Valley
Faire and another cross culvert located east of the entrance.(see plans enclosed Summerfield Phase
II). Please show the existing direction of flows along the Valley Faire frontage. The drainage plans for
Valley Faire show that the drainage along the easterly frontage flows to the west.
+ The Level 1 Analysis should include a narrative regarding the overflow sequence and routing for the
existing detention pond for Woodside at McGarvey Park. This facility contains two cage type overflow
structures and an emergency spillway designed for overflow redundancy (plans enclosed). This pond
is located directly upstream from the proposed McCormick Subdivision.
• Please include in the Level 1 Analysis copies of the Summerfield Ravine Stabilization and Phase 11
(enclosed) to show how the offsite upstream flows have been routed.
Note we have contacted Gary Ward (253-372-5681) at WSDOT Maintenance to request that the existing
downstream 36-inch cross culvert be cleaned. W SDOT has responded to this request and plans to have the
culvert cleaned by mid July.
Groundwater:
Please submit geotechnical recommendations to address groundwater for the construction of the roads and
subdivision . Revise the conceptual drainage plan as needed to address groundwater.
Geotechnical:
1) As proposed, the lots along the eastern steep slopes (lots 19-21 and possibly 17,18) intrude into the
required 25 foot steep slope buffer. The buffer must be fully contained in a separate tract. Please either
revise the plans to show the recommended 25 foot buffer in the critical areas tract or provide supplemental
geotechnical engineering information that supports further reduction of the buffer width. In addition, a fencing
and buffer restoration plan must be provided for the disturbed portions of the steep slope and landslide hazard
area buffers. The planting plan must use native species and shall be designed to minimize the intrusion of
invasive species.
2) Please have the project geotechnical engineer specifically evaluate the debris flow risk associated with an
emergency overflow event or embankment breach in the pond at the head of the ravine. The evaluation
should include discussion of the expected flow volumes, geomorphic impacts, life safety hazards and risk of
property damage, as well as some discussion of the likelihood of these events. Please also include discussion
of, and if appropriate, incorporate, additional mitigation measures to minimize the hazard from these and other
low probability, high hazard events.
McCormick — L08P0003

3) Please provide more details M,_,rding the conceptual debris flow mitig _)n berm. The current proposa:-
does not appear to include rock or er armoring measures. Please verif -it a structural fill berm wil! b;
stable in the evert of anticipated d--. is flows and if necessary provide rein--- _ement, armoring, or other. ,
energy dissipation features to turn the flows and protect the berm.
4) Please either extend the debris flow mitigation berm to the base of the steep slope to the east or provide
appropriate rear yard protection along lots 15-21.
5) Please either relocate the debris flow mitigation berm outside the required stream buffer or provide
ecological justification and/or mitigation for locating it as proposed.
6) A conceptual debris flow mitigation area maintenance plan must be provided if the proposal will require
cleaning or repair after debris flow events. The conceptual plan must address ownership, access and financial
responsibilities. Engineering details can be deferred until plat engineering plan review.
7) Please provide an analysis of the ability to store or safely convey water and landslide debris without
increasing the current risk to adjacent properties and public right of way. If mitigation measures are required,
conceptual plans must be included.
If you have further questions regarding the geotechnical inforrr;ation, please contact Todd Hurley, Senior
Geologist at 206-296-7257.
Roads:
• Please provide an updated measurement of the length of cul-de-sac from the construction centerline of
SR-169 to the center point of the cul-de-sac bulb. If the length of cul-de-sac exceeds the requirements
of the 2007 King County Road Standards, revise the plat or submit a variance to the KCRS.
• Tract H appears to exceed the 150 ft. maximum length without a cul-de-sac (as measured to the
centerline of Road A). Either revise this tract to include a cul-de-sac, reduce the length or submit a
variance to the KCRS
• Conceptual frontage improvement plan — provide a conceptual frontage improvement plan which
includes the proposed right turn pocket, taper, and associated drainage improvements.
Building Envelope: Given the 15 ft. building setback line (BSBQ required from the critical area tract(s),
please reevaluate the building envelope for proposed lot 21. Note, the 15 ft. bsbl will also extend from the
south lot line. This may result in the reconfiguration and/or loss of lots) along the eastern portion of the site.
Conceptual! Recreation Plan: Submit a conceptual recreation plan which indicates the type of improvements
(i.e. sport court, play structure, benches, landscaping, etc.) proposed within the recreation tracts. See KCC
21A.14.180 E2 for equipment requirements. Please note, at this time, Tracts C, E, and F do not appear to be
feasible for recreation use, given the proximity to SR-169 and critical area tracts.
Revised Preliminary Plat: Provide 25 copies of a revised preliminary plat, as necessary, as a result of above -
referenced requests for additional information.
As a result of the review of the information, additional information (studies, revisions, etc.) may be requested
at a later date. Further evaluation of these issues may result in the reconfiguration andlor loss of lots.

CONCEPTUAL DEBRIS FLOW MITIGATION AREA
MAINTENANCE PLAN
MCCORMICK PLAT
This Conceptual Debris Flow Mitigation Area Maintenance Plan ("Maintenance Plan") is
provided for the McCormick Plat ("Plat"), located at 16405 Southeast Renton -Maple
Valley Road, Renton, Washington.
MAINTENANCE
The stream and wetland and their buffers are contained with in Tract B of the Plat,
depicted on Attachment A (Site Plan). Also located within Tract B is a berm designed to
retain debris in the event of an overflow event or embankment breach associated with
upstream stormwater facilities. In the case of such an event, the Covenants, Conditions
and Restrictions ("CC&Rs") for the Plat will require the Homeowners' Association to
take the following steps:
• Obtain all necessary city, state or federal permits for the removal of debris and
restoration of the affected area to its preexisting condition.
• Within 60 days of permit issuance, remove all debris from the affected area,
consistent with permit conditions.
• Restore the affected area to its preexisting condition (including restoration of
preexisting grade and vegetation type), consistent with permit conditions.
OWNERSHIP
Tract B will be owned by the Homeowners' Association (as will all common areas).
ACCESS
Access to the Debris Flow Mitigation Area is through Tract E (see Attachment A).
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
The Homeowners' Association will bear financial responsibility for maintenance in the
event of a debris flow. Provisions will be made in the CC&Rs for financing maintenance
activities. Nothing in this Maintenance Plan restricts the ability of the Homeowners'
Association to seek and recover damages from third parties who bear partial or full
responsibility for a debris flow event.

We prepared a preliminary geotechnical engineering report regarding the proposed subdivision
project dated April 1, 2008, Thereafter, we received a copy of a comment letter prepared by King
County dated June 9, 2008 following the initial submittal of plans for the project. We prepared a
response letter September 9, 2008.. We understand that the property will be annexed into the City
of Renton. A letter was prepared by the city following the response by the project team (including
our firm) dated September 19, 2008. They have requested more information be provided to
comments raised in the King County letter.
One issue in the City of Renton letter is related to our services: The issue is that "a conceptual
debris flow mitigation area maintenance plan is needed if the proposal will require cleaning or
repair after debris flow event". In our opinion, cleaning and/or repair will be needed. Therefore, we
make the following recommendations:
1. Because we understand that a permit will likely be needed in order to do any cleaning
and/or repair, we recommend that such a permit be obtained soon after a debris flow event.
2. Once a permit is secured, cleaning and/or or repair should begin within 60 days,
3. Cleaning and/or repair should include removing all soil and debris within the stream buffer
area on the southern and western portions on the site. We have included a site plan
indicating the location of the "potential clean-up area" on the property where cleaning and/or
repair should be done. The soil and debris should be removed down to the ground level
that existed prior to the debris flow event. In addition, the stormwater system that is located
at the northern portion of the stream buffer should also be cleaned of any soil and/or debris.
4. Large equipment will likely be needed for cleaning and/or repair work, and we recommend
that this equipment gain access to the potential clean-up area via a utility corridor that will
be located between Lot 36 and Tract A (see attached site plan).
5. After the cleaning and/or repair work is completed, vegetation should be placed over
disturbed ground; the vegetation should be similar to what existed prior to the debris flow
event.

Dear Vanessa,
In dour September 19, 2008 "On -hold %(� IILV- re�.;arding the McCormick Plat, you
requested a professional ecological iri',Tillc�i'ion lur the location ofthe proposed debris
flow berm within the north side 6;-;ifc,inii hrrftcr for the proposed plat.
The existing condition ofthe buf ii it . ir,�a is highIN degraded and lacks tvpical
buffer functions for a number of rti i t}i1urrently the stream in the vicinity of the berm
is located within culverts. The ctrl�,'rT ifpally hal#'culyerts so technically the stream
in this area is "above ground" and rm� .1 l).rrr •d culvert (which would require no butler).
However, the open pipe functions i3 :rrl` i I,�• game as a huned culvert as far as
minimizing the function of the str�� in, ii, tla - area.
The stream buffer on the site locate.' r:,rr i tit the channel is entirely developed as a
mobile home park A fence hordt.•r` ih t,: ofthe culvert for much of its length Cho:
northerly edge ofthc proposed str•,:rIwi is lo�wr than the -stream and has no native
vegetation. [ he area is a mik ofoia,.�i , ,r,i Raved pads_ rockeries. and existing mobile
home structures and sheds. A sing iC )(t,i la, fir,jList outside the outer edge of the buffer
exists in this area. In my view- th,.- l),iil('ri ol' this stream in its current condition has no
positive ecological functions ofam k.iid ioi ,his stream.

AUDIENCE COMMENT
Citizen Comment: Sword -
Valley View Mobile Home
Park
celebration was reported incorrectly in last week's Council minutes. The
---AxxUecL date of the event 1
Hallie Sword (Renton) requested that the sign noticing the proposed land use
action at Valley View Mobile Home Park be moved to the front entrance of the
park. She suggested adding the following to the sign: 1) the name of the
community being redeveloped, and 2) a warning for residents and potential
buyers letting them know they may be responsible for removing their homes or
having them demolished if the proposed development is approved. Ms. Sword
also suggested that the park manager should be responsible for notifying new
residents of the proposed redevelopment, and that residents will be given a one-
year notice to move if the project is approved.
Councilmember Carman remarked that the City may already require mobile
home park owners to notify residents when there is a potential for the park to be
redeveloped. He asked the Administration to look into the matter.
Mayor Law clarified that this situation is unique because the application was
vested under King County.
Citizen Comment: Workman - Barbara Workman (Renton) shared her family's background and economic
Valley View Mobile Home situation. She stated that she could not afford to move her home at Valley
Park View Mobile Horne Park, or pay the $6,000 to have it demolished. Ms.
Workman also stated that if she were to demolish the home she would have no
where to go. She requested the City's help in saving her home.
Citizen Comment: Casserly - Brian Casserly (Renton)- expressed concerns regarding public safety and public
Touchdowns Sports Bar & nuisances at TOLIChdOW175 Sports Bar & Grill, 423 Airport Way S. He stated
Grill, Safety Issues that after speaking to Council about the business last year, the situation briefly
improved_ Ile noted, however, that since late spring, residents have had to
increasingly call 911 to report a wide variety of problems. Mr. Casserly
reported that the problems include public drinking, loud arguing, public
urination, loud stereos, and drag racing motorcycles. He commented that the
management of Touchdowns has not taken the matter seriously, citing a lack of
promised security at the establishment.
Continuing, .Mr. Casserly stated that the bar moved into their neighborhood, not
the other way around. He requested that the following steps be taken in the
interest of public safety: 1) pressure the management of Touchdowns Sports
Bar & Grill to hire off -duty police officers to secure the parking lot, 2) step-up
police presence in the area, and 3) prioritize police response due to the recent
violence that occurred at the establishment.
Mr. Casserly also requested, as a stakeholder in the neighborhood, to be kept
informed on discussions occurring between the City and Touchdowns Sports
Bar & Grill, as he and his neighbors would like the opportunity to contribute to
those discussions.

RE: Response to "On Hold" Notice FED Job No.: 07093
McCormick Plat, Application No: LUA08-068
Dear Ms. Dolbee:
We have revised the preliminary plat plans and documents for the project referenced above in
accordance with your Request for Additional Information letter dated July 11, 2008 and the denial to
our extension request dated August 26, 2008. The following outline provides the comments from the
King County Request for Additional Information letter dated June 8, 2008 in italics exactly as written,
along with a narrative response describing how the comment was addressed:
Drainage: The following information must he prepared and stamped by a civil engineer licensed in
the State of Washington.
Please revise the Level I Analysis to show the existing drainage system along the frontage of
Valley Faire. There is a large hYpass cross pipe under the Maple Valley Highway at the
entrance to Valley Faire and another- cross culvert located east of the entrance (see plans
enclosed Summer field Phase R). Please show the existing direction of'flows along the Valley
Faire frontage. The drainage plans for Valley Faire show that the drainage along the easterly
frontageflows to the west.
RESPONSE: The Level 1 Analysis has been revised to show existing drainage system
and direction of flows along the frontage of Valley Faire, the 30" bypass cross pipe (for
Summerfield Creek) under the SR-169 at the entrance to Valley Faire and other cross
culverts have been shown. As -Built drawings for the Valley Faire have been added to the
report.
• The Level I Analysis should include a narrative regarding the overflow sequence and routing
for the existing detention pond for Woodside at McGarvey Park. This facility contains two
cage type overflow structures and an eme,gencv spillway designed for overflow redundancy
(plans enclosed). This pond is located directly upstream from the proposed McCormick
Subdivision.

RESPONSE: The Level 1 Analysis has been revised to include a narrative regarding the
overflow sequence and routing for the existing detention/water quality pond for Woodside at
McGarvey Park. The As -built drawings of the pond and its associated drainage system have
been added to the report. The primary overflow is through the ravine to the east of the
McCormick site which has been stabilized with a primary emergency piped overflow system
along the ravine. The pond's secondary emergency overflow system flows to the ravine which
discharges through the McCormick site.
0 Please include in the Level 1 Anal 'ysi.s copies of the Summerfield Ravine Stabilization and
Phase If (enclosed) to show how the of f' ite !upstream flows have been routed.
RESPONSE: The Level 1 Analysis has been revised to include copies of the Summerfield
Ravine Stabilization and Phase II. Another exhibit showing the Summerfield Ravine, its
emergency overflow and the drainage through the McCormick site has been added to the
Analysis.
Mote we have contacted Gary Ward (25.3-372-5681) at WSDOT Maintenance to request that the
existing downstream 36-inch cross culvert he cleaned. WSDOT has responded to this request and
plans to have the culvert cleaned by mid .Ilium.
RESPONSE: Noted.
Groundwater.
Please submit geotechnical recommendations to address groundwater fi)r the construction of the roads
and subdivision. Revise the conceptual drainage plan as needed to address groundwater.
RESPONSE: Groundwater will likely be encountered during the construction phase. A
conceptual plan for a French drain has been added to the upstream side sidewalk along Road
"A". Further drainage measures may be required during the construction drawing phase or
the construction phase itself. Please refer to the response letter from Geotech Consultants
dated 09/09/08.
Geotechn ical.
1. As proposed, the lots along the east steep slopes (lot 19-21 and possibly 17 and 18) intrude into
the required 25 foot steep slope buffer. The buffer must be fully contained in a separate tract.
Please either revise the plans to show the recommended 25,1oot buffer in the critical areas tract
or provide supplemental geotechnical engineering information that supports further reduction
of'the buffer width. In addition, a f �ncing and buffer restoration plan must be provided for the
disturbed portions of the steep slope and landslide hazard area buffers. The planting plan must
use native species and shall be designed to minimize the intrusion of invasive species.

RESPONSE: Lot 21 has been deleted. Intrusion into the steep slope buffer for the
remaining lots has been eliminated. The buffer is fully contained in a separate tract. A
fencing and buffer restoration plan will be provided at the time of Construction plan review
and approval. The Planting plan will similarly be done at that time utilizing native species
and minimize intrusion of invasive species. Please refer to the response letter from Geotech
Consultants dated 09/09/08.
2. Please have the project geotechnical engineer specifically evaluate the debris flow risk
associated with an emergency overfloiv event or embankment breach in the pond at the head of
the ravine. The evaluation should include discussion of'the expected flow volumes, geomorphic
impacts, life safety hazards and risk vf'property damage, as well as some discussion of'the
likelihood of these events. Please also include discussion of and if appropriate, incorporate,
additional mitigation measures to minimize the hazard _from these and other low probability,
high hazard events.
RESPONSE: The debris flow risk for this site is extremely low for any flow associated with
an overflow event at the pond upstream. A primary overflow through the ravine with a 30
inch piped system paralleling the ravine provides a large amount of protection. The pond has
been designed for a 100 year storm event. That said, the geotechnical engineer advises that
we construct a small berm adjacent to the lots that most likely will be affected in the event of
a small landslide or other overflow event from the upstream pond. Additionally, the
gcotechnical engineer recommends that we install an overflow system to convey any
overtopping of the stream through a conveyance system. To this end a conveyance system is
proposed utilizing 18 inch diameter pipe and beehive inlets for emergency relief and
protection for the uphill lots. Please refer to the response letter from Geotech Consultants
dated 09/09/08.
3. Please provide more details regarding the conceptual debris flow mitigation berm. The current
proposal does not appear to include rock or other armoring measures. Please verify that a
structural fill berm will be stable: in the event of anticipated debris flows and if necessary
provide reinforcement, armoring, or other energy dissipation features to turn the flows and
protect the berm.
RESPONSE: Details of the debris flow mitigation berm are provided with armoring noted
on sheets P3 and PS. A structural analysis will be provided as needed at the time of
construction drawing approval. Please refer to the response letter from Geotech Consultants
dated 09/09/08.
4. Please either extend the debris flwv mitigation berm to the base of'the steep slope to the east or
provide appropriate rear yard protection along lots 1 5-21.
RESPONSE: The debris flow mitigation berm now extends to the base of the steep slope to
the east. Please refer to the response letter from Geotech Consultants dated 09/09/08.

5. Please either relocate the debris flow mitigation berm outside the required stream buffer or
provide ecological justification andlor mitigation for locating it as proposed.
RESPONSE: The debris flow mitigation berm remains inside the stream buffer for several
reasons. The existing condition of the site has driveway and pavement well within the buffer
as well as mobile homes. Thus, the buffer will have no impervious area whereas the present
condition had significant areas of imperviousness. This mitigation berm is integral to the
stream buffer function — it mitigates potential debris flow and overflow from the stream
within the buffer area design for that very purpose. Further mitigation is not seen as
necessary. Please refer to the response letter from Geotech Consultants dated 09/09/08.
6. A conceptual debris flow mitigation area maintenance plan must be provided if the proposal
will require cleaning or repair after the debris flow events. The conceptual plan must address
ownership, access and financial respol7sibilities. Engineering details can be deferred until plat
engineering plan review.
RESPONSE: The proposal will likely require some cleaning or repair after the debris flow
events. Those events are extremely difficult to predict and assign a given level of damage.
Maintenance and repair will be a function of the severity of the event. Ownership,
maintenance and financial responsibility will be by the homeowner's association.
Engineering details for a debris flow mitigation maintenance plan will be provided at plat
engineering review. Please refer to response letter from Geotech Consultants dated 09/09/08.
7. Please provide an analysis of the ability to store or safely convey water and landslide debris
without increasing the current risk to adjacent properties and public right of way. If mitigation
measures are required, conceptual plans nulst be included.
RESPONSE: The buffer remains at 65 feet with both a protection berm and an overflow
system in place for added protection. The 18 inch pipe provided can convey all of the
projected runoff from the upstream pond up to approximately 15 efs. A conceptual plan for
this is provided. Please refer to the response letter from Geotech Consultants dated 09/09/08.
If you have any further questions regarding the geotechnical information, please contact Todd
Hurley, Senior Geologist at 2 06-296- 725 7.

RESPONSE: The centerline of the proposed Road A has been revised to provide a
measurement from the as -constructed centerline of Maple Valley Highway (SR 169) to the
center of the proposed cul-de-sac. That revised length is 600 feet. Per KCRS Section 2.03(A)
(4), 600 feet is the maximum distance allowed without a variance.
• Tract H appears to exceed the 150 Jt_ maximum length without a cul-de-sac (as measured to the
centerline of'Road A)_ Either revise this tract to include a cul-de-sac, reduce the length, or
submit a variance to the KCRS.
RESPONSE: Tract H has been revised so that the distance from the intersection of Road A
to the back of Tract H now measures approximately 123 feet.
• Conceptual frontage improvement plan provide a conceptual frontage improvement plan
which includes the proposed right turn pocket, taper, and associated drainage improvements.
RESPONSE: The plat drawings have been revised to show the right turn pocket into the site
(consistent with the improvements along; the frontage to Valley Faire) and a taper back to
existing edge of pavement both directions along Maple Valley Highway (SR 169) from the
proposed entry (Road A). Preliminary storm drainage improvements are also now shown on
the plans.
Building Envelope: Given the 15 ft. building ,s•ethack line (BSBL) required from the critical area
tract(s), please reevaluate the building envelope for proposed lot 21. Note the 15 ft. BSBL will also
extend from the south lot line. This mcn- result in the reconfiguration and/or loss of lot(s) along the
eastern portion of the site.
RESPONSE: Lot 21 has been removed and the area divided up among the remaining lots.
Building setbacks and lot lines have been reconfigured to remove any portion of the lots from
the steep slope buffer area and provide a 15-foot building setback from the back of the lot.
Conceptual Recreation Plan: Submit a conceptual recreation plan which indicates the type of
improvements (i.e. sport court, play structure, benches, landscaping, etc_) proposed within the
recreation tracts. See KCC 21A.14.1 80 E2 for equipment requirements. Please note, at this time,
Tracts C, E, and F do not appear to he ftasihle for recreation use, given the proximity to SR-1 69
and critical area tracts.
RESPONSE: A conceptual recreation plan has been prepared by a licensed landscape
architect and is included with this resubmittal. Please note that upon further review of the
open space requirements, KCC Section 21A.14.150 (A) (3) states:
"Residential subdivisions developed at a density of greater than eight units per acre: [shall
provide] one hundred seventy square feet [open space) per unit."

Our original open space calculations were done based on King County's Subdivision Density
& Dimension calculations handout, which suggests that we needed to provide 390 square feet
per unit. Open space calculations have been revised for 36 lots at 170 square feet per lot.
Required open space is 6,120 square feet. Provided is 9,089 square feet (Tract D only).
Revised Preliminary Plat. Provide 25 copies of revised preliminary plat as necessary, as a result
of the above -referenced requests, for additional information.
RESPONSE: Per our discussion, you are requiring only 12 copies of the revised preliminary
plat plans.
As a result of the review of'the information, additional information (studies, revisions, etc.) may be
requested at a later date. Further evaluation of these issues may result in the reconfiguration
and/or loss of lots.
RESPONSE: Noted.
If you have questions, comments, or need additional information, please contact me at your earliest
opportunity. Thank you.

We prepared a preliminary geotechnical engineering report regarding the proposed subdivision
project dated April 1, 2008. Since that time, we received a copy of a comment letter prepared by
King County dated June 9, 2008 following the initial submittal of plans for the project. Some of the
items included in the comment letter were with regards to geotechnical issues. Below in this letter
we have included the specific comments that were included in King County's letter, and they are
then followed by our response. In preparation of this letter, we also reviewed Sheets P1 through
P9 of the project, which were prepared by Pacific Engineering, LLC and dated September 9, 2008.
Groundwater:
Please submit geotechnical recommendations to address groundwater for the construction
of the roads and subdivision. Revise the conceptual drainage plan as needed to address
groundwater.
RESPONSE: Groundwater was revealed in our explorations in the area of the new road
and subdivision of about 4 feet or deeper. The grading plans for the new road indicate a cut
of up to 4 feet. Thus, some groundwater may be encountered. The use of a French Drain
has been included in the new plans if groundwater is encountered. This will mitigate any
impacts of groundwater on project construction. Project impacts to groundwater will be
mitigated through compliance with applicable stormwater management requirements.
Geotechnical:
As proposed, the lots along the east steep slopes (lot 99-21 and possibly 17 and 18)
intrudes into the required 25 foot steep slope buffer. The buffer must be fully contained
in a separate tract. Please either revise the plans to show the recommended 25 foot
buffer in the critical areas tract or provide supplemental geotechnical engineering
information that supports further reduction of the buffer width. In addition, a fencing and
buffer restoration plan must be provided for the disturbed portions- of the steep slope
and landslide hazard area buffers. The planting plan must use native species and shall
be designed to minimize the intrusion of invasive species.

RESPONSE: The plans now indicate that Lot 21 has been deleted. Intrusion into the steep
slope buffer for the remaining lots has been eliminated. The Buffer is fully contained in a
separate tract.
2. Please have the project geotechnical engineer specifically evaluate the debris flow risk
associated with an emergency overflow event or embankment breach in the pond at the
head of the ravine. The evaluation should include discussion of the expected flow
volumes, geomorphic impacts, life safety hazards and risk of property damage, as well
as some discussion of the likelihood of these events. Please also include discussion of,
and if appropriate, incorporate, additional mitigation measures to minimize the hazard
from these and other low probability, high hazard events.
RESPONSE: As discussed on Page 7 of our report, we provided a height for a protection
berm on the southern portion of the property that would correspond to an extremely large,
low -probability event. This berm will provide protection against a debris flow that could
begin well upslope of the berm. In our analysis of the volume of the debris, we assumed
that a greater than 1-in-100 years precipitation event would occur that would trigger such a
large debris flow event. Is such an event were to occur, precipitation that reaches the
ground above the berm, as well as overflow water from the upslope detention pond, would
be the trigger for the debris flow. Therefore, the proposed berm provides adequate life -
safety for the inhabitants of subdivision if a 1-in-100 years precipitation event, or higher,
were to occur in our opinion
If a catastrophic event were to occur that included the failure of the upslope detention pond,
the berm may be overtaken. However, the only likely scenario for the failure of the pond
would involve a very significant earthquake during/following an extreme precipitation event.
The likelihood of two significant events such as these occurring together is extremely low.
Thus we do not believe that designing the berm for the possibility.of the failure of the upper
detention pond is warranted for this project.
3. Please provide more details regarding the conceptual debris flow mitigation berm. The
current proposal does not appear to include rock or other armoring measures. Please
verify that a structural fill berm will be stable in the event of anticipated debris flows and
if necessary provide reinforcement, armoring, or other energy dissipation features to
turn the flows and protect the berm.
RESPONSE: Armoring of the berm is included in the current plans. We believe that the
berm is well protected if a debris flow were to reach it.
4. Please either extend the debris flow mitigation berm to the base of the steep slope to
the east or provide appropriate rear yard protection along lots 15-21.
RESPONSE: This is now included in the pians.
5. Please either relocate the debris flow mitigation berm outside the required stream buffer
or provide ecological justification and/or mitigation for locating it as proposed.
RESPONSE: The berm is a soil and rock structure. Since it is made from natural materials
in their natural state, we believe that including the berm in the stream buffer is justified.

6. A conceptual debris flow mitigation area maintenance plan must be provided if the
proposal will require cleaning or repair after the debris flow events. The conceptual plan
must address ownership, access and financial responsibilities. Engineering details can
be deferred until plat engineering plan review.
RESPONSE: If a large debris flow were ever to occur, that chance of it occurring again for
some time is almost infinitesimal. However, it is important that the debris be cleared out
and any repairs to the berm also be performed in a timely manner. Cleaning or repair work
should occur within three months of the debris flow in our opinion. The ground level in the
stream buffer area before and after a potential debris -flow event should be the same.
Cleaning or repair must be conducted in a manner that will restore critical areas and their
buffers. Access for clean-up of the debris will be needed at the northwestern corner of the
site.
7. Please provide an analysis of the ability to store or safely convey water and landslide
debris without increasing the current risk to adjacent properties and public right of way.
If mitigation measures are required, conceptual plans must be included.
RESPONSE: Our analysis for the amount of debris area needed upslope of the berm only
includes the southeastern buffer area. However, there is a very large amount of buffer area
remaining to the west and northwest of the southwestern buffer area. Therefore, it is our
professional opinion that any debris flow can readily be kept on the property. As for the
water runoff, an 18-inch pipe is included in the buffer area that can convey all of the
projected runoff from the upstream pond up to approximately 15 cfs.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service on this project, if you have any questions, or if we
may be of further service, please do not hesitate to contact us.

SUBJECT: McCormick Plat
LUA08-068, PP, ECF (Formerly King Co, File No. L08P0003)
"On Hold" Notice
Dear Mr. McCormick:
Thank you for the submittal of additional information requested with in the Plat Screen
Transmittal form, dated .tune 9, 2008. During our review, of the provided additional information,
staffs has determined that the items listed below had not been addressed and/or require further
information in order to proceed.
The following information will need to be submitted before Wednesday, November 19, 2008, so
that we may continue the review of the above subject application:
1. Item number 5. under "Geotechnical" on the Plat Screening Transmittal (enclosed) has not
been fully addressed. "Please either relocate the debris flow mitigation berm outside the
required stream buffer or provide ecological justification and/or mitigation for locating it
as proposed."
a. The provided Critical Areas Report, by Sewall Wetland consulting, Inc. did not
address the debris flow mitigation berm within the Stream buffer area; nor did
the report address the mitigation berms effects on the stream's functions and
values. Please either provided professional ecological justification and/or
mitigation pursuant to KCC 21 A.24.3 80 for locating the debris flow mitigation
berm within the Stream buffer; or move the debris flow mitigation berm
outside of the buffer area.
2. Item number 6 under "Geotechnical" on the Plat Screening Transmittal has not been fully
addressed. "A conceptual debris flow mitigation area maintenance plan must be provided
if the proposal will require cleaning or repair after debris flow event. The conceptual
plan must address ownership; access and financial responsibilities. Engineering details
can be deferred until plat engineering plan review."
3. Conceptual Recreation Plan: Thank you for the conceptual recreation plan submitted with
the September 9`h submittal. Although, pursuant to KCC 21A.14.180A.1, residential
subdivisions that have a density of eight units or less per acre require three hundred
ninety square feet of recreational space per unit. The subject project's density is 3.106
dwelling units per acre (36 lots / 11.59 acres = 3.106 du/ac) therefore 390 square feet per
1055 South Grady Way - Renton, Washington 98057

AHEAD OF THE CURVE
unit of recreational space is required. As such, the project shall provide a total of 14,040
square feet of recreational space (390 sq. ft. x 36 lots = 14,040 sq. ft.). In addition,
pursuant to KCC 21A.14.190B.1. at least 45 square feet per dwelling unit of play area
shall be provide, with a minimum size of four hundred square feet. As, such the subject
proposal shall provide 1,620 square feet of play area (45 sq. ft. x 36 lots = 1,620 sq. ft.)..
Please redesign the conceptual recreation plan to meet the minimum requirement
pursuant to King County Code.
4. Pursuant to KCC 21A.12.030A, minimum lot width for the R-12 zone is 30 feet. In
addition, pursuant to KCC 21 A.12.050B "Lot widths shall be measured by scaling a
circle of the applicable diameter within the boundaries of the lot..." As such, lots 30 and
31 do not meet the minimum lot width requirements for the R-12 zone. Please redesign
the preliminary plat plan so that all lots meet the minimum lot width requirement.
When submitting the requested information, include a copy of this letter and retain a copy for
your records. Provide a cover, letter, which lists how each item, was addressed. Any clarification
or explanation of the submittal can also be included in the cover letter. Please submit the
information to:

Please provide ten (1 Q) copies of the following, unless otherwise noted.
Drainage: The following information must be prepared and stamped by a civil engineer licensed in the State
of Washington.
Please revise the Level 1 Analysis to show the existing drainage system along the frontage of Valley
Faire. There is a large bypass cross pipe under the Maple Valley Highway at the entrance to Valley
Faire and another cross culvert located east of the entrance.(see plans enclosed Summerfield Phase
II). Please show the existing direction of flaws along the Valley Faire frontage. The drainage plans for
Valley Faire show that the drainage along the easterly frontage flows to the west.
The Level 1 Analysis should include a narrative regarding the overflow sequence and routing for the
existing detention pond for Woodside at McGarvey Park. This facility contains two cage type overflow
structures and an emergency spillway designed for overflow redundancy (plans enclosed). This pond
is located directly upstream from the proposed McCormick Subdivision.
• Please include in the Level 1 Analysis copies of the Summerfield Ravine Stabilization and Phase II
(enclosed) to show how the offsite upstrearn flows have been routed.
Note we have contacted Gary Ward (253-372-5681) at WSDOT Maintenance to request that the existing
downstream 36-inch cross culvert be cleaned. WSDOT has responded to this request and plans to have the
culvert cleaned by mid July.
Groundwater:
Please submit geotechnical recommendations to address groundwater for the construction of the roads and
subdivision . Revise the conceptual drainage plan as needed to address groundwater.
Geotechnical:
1) As proposed, the lots along the eastern steep slopes (lots 19-21 and possibly 17,18) intrude into the
required 25 foot steep slope buffer. The buffer must be fully contained in a separate tract. Please either
revise the plans to show the recommended 25 foot buffer in the critical areas tract or provide supplemental
geotechnical engineering information that supports further reduction of the buffer width. In addition, a fencing
and buffer restoration plan must be provided for the disturbed portions of the steep slope and landslide hazard
area buffers. The planting plan must use native species and shall be designed to minimize the intrusion of
invasive species.
2) Please have the project geotechnical engineer specifically evaluate the debris flow risk associated with an
emergency overflow event or embankment breach in the pond at the head of the ravine. The evaluation
should include discussion of the expected flow volumes, geomorphic impacts, life safety hazards and risk of
property damage, as well as some discussion of the likelihood of these events. Please also include discussion
of, and if appropriate, incorporate, additional mitigation measures to minimize the hazard from these and other
low probability, high hazard events.

Geologist at 206-296-7257.
Roads:
• Please provide an updated measurement of the length of cul-de-sac from the construction centerline of
SR-169 to the center point of the cul-de-sac bulb. If the length of cul-de-sac exceeds the requirements
of the 2007 King County Road Standards, revise the plat or submit a variance to the KCRS_
• Tract H appears to exceed the 150 ft. maximum length without a cul-de-sac (as measured to the
centerline of Road A). Either revise this tract to include a cul-de-sac, reduce the length or submit a
variance to the KCRS
• Conceptual frontage improvement plan — provide a conceptual frontage improvement plan which
includes the proposed right turn pocket, taper, and associated drainage improvements.
Building Envelope: Given the 15 ft. building setback line (BSBL) required from the critical area tract(s),
please reevaluate the building envelope for proposed lot 21, Note, the 15 ft_ bsbl will also extend from the
south lot line. This may result in the reconfiguration and/or loss of lots) along the eastern portion of the site.
Conceptual Recreation Plan: Submit a conceptual recreation plan which indicates the type of improvements
(i.e. sport court, play structure, benches, landscaping, etc.) proposed within the recreation tracts. See KCC
21A.14.180 E2 for equipment requirements. Please note, at this time, Tracts C, E, and F do not appear to be
feasible for recreation use, given the proximity to SR-169 and critical area tracts.
Revised Preliminary Plat: Provide 25 copies of a revised preliminary plat, as necessary, as a result of above -
referenced requests for additional information.
As a result of the review of the information, additional information (studies, revisions, etc.) may be requested

Jennifer,
Ok, I gave it a try ... talking with Gregg Deiner (sp?), He would rely like to talk with you. I told him you would give him a
call.
His arguments are as follows:
-The city gave him 2 weeks notice that the information needed to be in.
-They had a meeting with the city, and we did not discus this deadline at that meeting.
-The extension request was sent out on July 24th and we are getting back to them now. (he has a point here)
-King County did not get us the information in a timely manner so we could inform them of the deadline in a timely manner,
this was the reason they had the meeting to facilitate the process.
-Historically this is not the "Renton Way" and he doesn't understand why it is different now.
If you have any other questions about our conversation just ask.

Subject: LUA08-068 McCormick Preliminary Plat
Chip,
We received an extensions request for the subject application on July 25, 2008.
As I understand, City of Renton projects, don't have a "kill" date, although, this project was sent to us from K.C. and was
put on "hold" in K.C. When I took over the project I sent an additional letter to the applicant informing them of the status
of their project (still on hold) and informed the applicant that the requested information should be sent to Renton instead of
K.C. The hold letter from K.C. was sent out on June 9, 2008. Pursuant to KCC if the information requested is not received
by Sep. 9, 2008 the project can be canceled or denied.
The requested information (in short) includes updates to Drainage analysis, geotech. recommendation to address
groundwater, revised plan to meet the required buffer for the steep slopes, revise building envelope, and provide a
conceptual recreation plan. I have the complete list in my office if you would like to see it.
I spoke with KC in regards to how they evaluate granting an extension request. KC grants a 30, 60, or 90 day extensions
based on whether the applicant is making progress or not. There is not code language to restrict the number of extensions
one can grant and/or code language that explains how to determine if an extension can be granted or not. The subject
project has not received an extension at this point from KC or Renton.
When you get a chance, could we make a determination as to whether we are willing to grant the requested 90 day
extension, or whether we will grant a different time for extension or if we will deny their request.
Thanks,
Vanessa Dolbee

We.thank you for giving the Washington 5tatiibepartment of Transportation (WSDOT) this
opportunity to comment on the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA).: The proposed McCormick Plat
consists of 38 Single Family Residential Units (SFRs). Access to the project site is via an
existing driveway connection on the south side of SR 169 at MP 21.37. The site is currently
utilized by 40 mobile homes that will be removed by this proposal. We offer the following
comments:
1. Figure 1— Vicinity Map: please revise the map as all street names are not legible.
North arrow should also be included.
2. Page 4 — Sight Distance. specific sight distance should be quantified and stated
instead of "excellent in both directions" as provided.
3. Page 5 — LOS Table: please refoimat the table for better presentation; it appears
disorganized on the printout.
4. The TIA concluded that "a right turn pocket or taper on SR 169 at the site access
street is recommended based on WSDOT Design Manual criteria". For the traffic
safety due to the high operating speed on SR 169, a right turn pocket is required.
Design details for the proposed RT pocket, the driveway access, turn lanes, and
other channelization elements will be reviewed and approved through the official
Channelization Plan review process. Please submit an official Channelization Plan
for review and approval.
5. With a net increase of only 14 PM Peak Hour trips (9 entering + 5 exiting), the
subject development will not create any detrimental impacts to the existing traffic
operations on SR 169. We offer no further continents on the subject TIA.
However, the provided comments should be adequately addressed.

6. Note that even though the area would be annexed by the City of Renton in the
future, the Department still has jurisdiction between the curbs or roadway prism
(between right of way lines if not annexed). As such, in addition to the
channelization approval, pavement surfacing, construction inspection and other
elements within our authority require our approval. Regardless, a developer
agreement with the State, which outlines the Department's requirements and
approval for the proposed changes) along the highway, is needed.
If you have any questions, or require additional information please contact Felix Palisoc of our
Developer Services section by phone at 206-440-4713, or via e-mail at palisof@wsdot.wa.aov.

The Department of Development and Environmental Services (DDES) has implemented a program for managing certain
types of permit applications to provide customers with an enhanced level of customer service. The Project Management
Program seeks to provide customers with increased predictability for the permit process and better accountability from
County review staff.
For permit applications under Project Management, a project manager is assigned to the permit to facilitate
communication with the applicant and provide a fee estimate to cover the anticipated scope of review. The project
manager will also monitor and manage the permit application throughout the review process to ensure review schedules
remain in line with performance standards and the overall work hours are within the range of estimated fees for the
project.
Your application was received by our office on April 2, 2008 and will be processed by a Project Manager. The enclosed
information provides a summary of the fee estimate for the anticipated work disciplines associated with the preliminary
review phase and fee estimate revisions which may affect the permit fees.
Please return the signed Acknowledgment Form, page 2 of the enclosure, to my attention at the address specified in the
letter head. Failure to return the Acknowledgement Form and pay the deposit within 17 days of the date of this letter may
result in the suspension or cancellation of the application.
If you have any questions regarding the permit fees, the requirements of the project management program or any other
aspect of the review process, please contact me via e-mail at Kimberly Claussen@kingeounty.gov or by telephone at 206-
296-7167.
