The above listed parcels are currently within unincorporated Ding County. The proponent would have to annex into Federal Way. This wetland peer review was conducted as if the property was in Federal Way. This letter is for informational purposes only and is not a guarantee or determination that the property will be annexed. The city forwarded your request to our wetland consultant, Landau, for their review. Landau completed a site visit, reviewed relevant documents, and prepared a December 23, 2019 memorandum (enclosed) in which they agree with the delineated boundary and rating of Wetland A included in the October 2019 report. According to the Federal Wiry Revised Code (FWRC), Wetland A is a Category III wetland with an 80-foot buffer based on its habitat score of five points. Please review the memorandum from Landau, in particular peer review comments #1-3; #2 pertains to future project submittal preparation. When planning future development on the parcels, note FWRC 19.145.160: "Unless otherwise provided, structures shall be set back a distance of five feet from the edges of a critical area buffer. The following may be allowed in the building setback area: (1) Landscaping; (2) Building overhangs; and (3) Fences and railings six feet and less in height." The wetland, buffer, and additional critical area building setback must be delineated on the site plan of any development application in conformance with FWRC 19.145.150(4). Any future land use application submittals to the city should include a copy of the October 2019 wetland assessment, Landau's December 23, 2019 Memorandum, and this letter. Should you have any questions about this letter contact me at 253-835-2634, or stace�sii@cityofFe_deralway.com.

The purpose of this peer review was to provide a professional opinion regarding applicable regulatory requirements in the City of Federal Way (City) Revised Code (FWRC) Title 19.145 (Environmentally Critical Areas), specific to Article IV Wetlands. Peer review comments regarding the October 2019 Report are as follows: 1) LAI staff conducted a reconnaissance of the subject properties on December 18, 2019 and agree with the delineated boundary and rating of Wetland A included in the October 2019 report. LAI was able to locate all sample plot and boundary flagging, as shown on Figure 1 of the October 2019 Report. The boundary of Wetland A was observed to generally follow the grade change of the subject properties. 2) LAI recommends that the wetland boundary flagging be surveyed, if not already completed, for inclusion on future site plans. LAI acknowledges that Figure 1 of the report presents a scaled site map of the wetland boundary and flagging; however, the report does not provide an indication of the method used for locating the boundary flagging shown on the figure (i.e., GPS or other land - survey methods are not referenced). LAI also notes that evidence of possible survey activities on the subject properties may have been initiated or completed, based on the presence of additional flagging on the subject properties and minor clearing, which would provide access to -the wetland and associated boundary flagging. 3) LAI acknowledges the intent of the October 2019 Report was to provide a summary of existing conditions on the subject properties, and it satisfies the applicable reporting requirements of 1 Soundview Consultants LLC. 2019.
