All residential subdivisions are required to provide open space in the amount of 15 percent of the
gross land area of the subdivision site, per FWRC 18.55.060(2), paid at the time of recording. All or
some of the open space requirement may be satisfied by a fee -in -lieu payment at the discretion of the
Parks Director. If open space is provided onsite, it shall be provided in its own tract. As with other
tracts, an open space tract cannot count towards the minimum lot area of a lot/lots.
• Public Works Development Services Division
1. The site is divided (topographically), by a north -south oriented ridge or high point. This ridge
splits the site into 2 separate, distinct threshold discharge areas. The westerly discharge area is
in a Conservation (Level 2) flow control area, while the easterly discharge area is in a Flood
Problem (Level 3) flow control area. See additional comments below for additional details as to
what this means in regard to storm drainage for the project.
2. The applicant is advised that the City expects to adopt a new stornwater manual in 2016. While
it's not known at this time when adoption of a new manual is expected, we feel it's important to
provide this information so that the owner/applicant is aware of this upcoming change. If the
applicant submits a complete Preliminary Short Plat application after City adoption of a new
manual, then the project will be subject to the stormwater regulations and requirements of that
manual. If the applicant submits a complete Preliminary Short Plat application before adoption
of the new manual, then the project is subject to the stormwater requirements of the current
(2009) King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), and City addendum to the
manual.

the representative listed for that section.
PLANNING DIVISION (Leila Willoughby -Oakes, 253-835-2644, Leila.Willoughby-Oakesna cityoffederalway.com)
1. Existing Site Conditions — The parcel (un-platted lot) is undeveloped, vegetated and contains several
tree stands. A developed lot (single family home) with accessory buildings exists to the north and
Fishers Pond (city -owned) to the east contains a Category I Wetland (bog). Properties zoned RS 7.2
exist to the west with SW 318°i Street terminating at the subject property's western property line. The
15-10583; -PC Doc ID 71478

Mr. Ideker
Page 3
property contours are such that the middle of the site is flat and the sides slope downward both east
and west. There are no sidewalks or street improvements along the 61h PI SW frontage.
Short Plat Process — Pursuant to FWRC 18.30.010, short plat applications are administratively
processed through the Department of Community Development. The administrative review process
requires that the Director of Community Development issue a decision on the short subdivision
request, confirming conformance with FWRC 18.30.1 10(2). After the permit center accepts an
application, planning division staff will conduct a completeness review, issuing a letter of
completeness or incompleteness requesting additional information within 28 days of receipt. Public
notice of the complete short plat proposal is required per FWRC 18.30.080, and a 15-day public
comment period is provided. However, no public hearing will be required unless an appeal is filed. A
master land use application and short plat handout with submittal checklist are enclosed; relevant
code sections are available at the city's website at www.cityoffederalway.com under Title 18-
`Subdivision.' Short plats do not require a public mailing to adjoining landowners.
3. Critical Areas — According to city critical area mapping, the subject property is located in a critical
aquifer recharge area — the 1- and 5-year wellhead protection zone. The site is a dual rated critical
aquifer recharge area. A hazardous materials inventory statement must be submitted with the formal
short plat application inventory.
Per Project File Number (PFN) 15-105199-AD (administrative decision request), on October 16, 2015,
the Planning Division granted a wetland buffer reduction 072104-9093. The buffer related to the
Category 1 Wetland 50 feet southwest of the subject property was determined to be permanently
altered, due to a right-of-way, 6`' PI SW— dissecting. Therefore, no onsite buffer mitigation will be
required. A previous proposal included bio-swales along a private road as wetland buffer mitigation.
Fishers Pond contains a Palustrine Aquatic Bed/Forested Wetland (bog), and accordingly, no
contaminated or untreated stormwater should leave the site. Please see Kevin Peterson's, Development
Services, comments for more stormwater drainage information.
4. Tacoma Smelter Plulne — The Department of Ecology's Facility/Site Atlas indicates the site is located
within a soil safety program service area impacted by the Tacoma Smelter Plume. The site has sat
undeveloped. The property contains an arsenic concentration of 40.0 ppm-100.0 ppm (arsenic
concentrations 0-6" 90`h percentile). The city requests the applicant provide soil tests to the city during
construction permits if necessary to obtain written approval of the site's clean-up from the Department
of Ecology through their voluntary program. Options for clean-up includes disposing of contaminated
topsoil on the site and sending them to a landfill or when arsenic and lead levels are fairly low,
applicants may rnix soils with cleaner soils to dilute the contarnination (information enclosed).
For.further information contact Eva Barber, Technical Assistance Coordinator at the Department of
Ecology, Toxics Cleanup Program at (360) 407-7094 or Eva. Barbe►{aiecy.wa.gov.
5. State Environtnental Policy Act (SEPA) —Short plats are exempt from the requirements of SEPA
review per Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 197-11-800, Categorical Exemptions.
6. General Zoning
a. `Detached Dwelling Units' are a permitted use in the RS9.6 zoning district.
b. Maximum height of structures-30 feet above average building elevation.

December 17. 2015
Mr. ldeker
Page 4
c. Maximum roof eave overhang within the required yard is 18 inches (1.5 feet).
d. Lot Size —The zoning for the subject site is RS-9.6. The minimum lot size in this zone is 9,600
square feet. As depicted, the proposed Lots 1-4 meet the minimum lot size requirements. The
proposed access easements serving Lots 1-4, and required open space tract will not be counted
towards minimum lot sizes.
e. Setbacks— Future residences must conform to the following building setback requirements of
FWRC 19.200.010, "Detached Dwelling Units": front yard —twenty feet; side yard —five feet; and
rear yard —five feet. All structure setbacks are measured from the access easement on this project.
Rear -yards shown on plans are 10 feet whereas 5 feet is permitted.
f. Driveway Standards (FWRC 19.130.240) — Residential driveways serving a two -car garage shall
not exceed 20 feet in width. A driveway serving a three -car garage may exceed 20 feet in width if
the subject property is at least 60 feet in width and the garage is located not more than 40 feet
from the front property line. Driveways may not be closer than five feet from any side property
line. Please refer to Traffic Division comments for public street standards.
g. Parking— Two spaces per dwelling unit.
h. Lot Coverage — Maximum permitted lot coverage is 60 percent of the total lot area. The following
describes calculating lot coverage:
"19.110.020 Calculating lot coverage.
(1) General. Except as specified in subsection (2) of this section, the area of all structures,
pavement and any other impervious surface on the subject property will be calculated as a
percentage of total lot area, exclusive of the area of any recorded access easements, in
detenmining compliance with maximum lot coverage required in this title. If the subject
property contains more than one use, the maximum lot coverage requirements for the
predominant use will apply to the entire development.
"(2) Exceptions. The following shall be excepted from the provisions of this section:
(a) A wood deck will not be considered as an impervious surface for maximum lot coverage
proposed if the deck is constructed with gaps between the boards and if there is a pervious
surface below the deck.
(b) A vehicular access easement, private tract, or that portion of a private driveway located
within the "flag pole" or "access panhandle" part of the lot will not be used or considered in
determining compliance with the maximum lot coverage requirement of this title.
(c) One-half of the area covered with grass grid pavers will be considered as impervious
surface in determining compliance with the maximum lot coverage requirement of this title."
7. Subdivision Design Criteria — Short plats are subject to the subdivision design criteria of FWRC
18.55.
• Land Division Design (Block Perimeter) — Please see Traffic Division comments on compliance
issues (Contact Sarady Long, Senior Traffic Engineer).

Open Space —All residential subdivisions are required to provide open space in the amount of 15
percent of the gross land area of the subdivision site per FWRC 18.55.060(2). All or some of the open
space requirement may be satisfied by a fee -in -lieu payment at the discretion of the Parks Director,
after consideration of the city's overall park plan, quality, location, and service area of the open space
that would otherwise be provided with the project. Open space fees shall be paid prior to recording
the short plat. If the applicant chooses to provide onsite open space, it shall be provided in its own
tract and include a combination of the following types:
Open Space Category
% of Gross Land Area
Usable
10% minimum
Conservation
No maximum or
minimum
Buffer
29/o maximum
Constrained
2% maximum
Approximately 3,303 sq. ft. of open space is depicted on the conceptual plans submitted as Tract `C';
no development or accessory structure encroachments may occur in this area. Therefore, a fee in -lieu
of open space payment of approximately 10% (based on this proposal) of the assessed land value
shall be paid in addition to physical open space designated on site.
Per FWRC 18.55.060.6, "Open space shall be owned in common undivided interest by all property
owners within the land division as members...." stated as a plat restriction during recording. As with
other tracts, an open space tract cannot count towards the minimum lot area of Lots 1-4.
Meeting Follow -Up — Mr. Knowles asked if the proposed stormwater facilities (round -about) may be
counted towards open space requirements. Open space may not be counted towards the residential
open space requirements of FWRC 18.55.060. If open space on site cannot be provided, the
remaining may be fulfilled via the fee -in -lieu of open space process.
9. Homeowners (HOA) —The applicant asked if an HOA would be required. A required HOA would be
determined during the preliminary short plat review. All areas owned in common (stonnwater
facilities/open space tracts) shall be in a separate tract and contain covenants/plat notes stating areas
shall be equally owned and maintained by all owners in the subdivision.
Follow -zip: An HOA established for the maintenance of shared facilities will be determined at the
time of submission. Minimum requirements include covenants to this effect on the recorded short plat
document.
10. Clearing and Grading — The short plat is subject to the provisions of FWRC 19.120, "Clearing,
Grading, and Tree and Vegetation Retention." It is recommended that FWRC 19.120 be reviewed
carefully in reference to the proposed short plat. A clearing and grading plan that meets FWRC
19.120.020 and FWRC 19.120.040 must be submitted with the formal short plat application, if
clearing and grading work is proposed.
11. Tree Density Requirements — The plat will be subject to tree density requirements of FWRC
19.120.130(1); note that 25 tree -units per acre are required for single-family zoned sites. In the case of
Ii-105837 -PC Duc ID 71478
December 17, 2015
Mr. Ideker
Page 6
the 1.51-acre site, approximately 38 tree units are required (25 x 1.51 acres = 37.75 tree units; fractions
rounded up to the nearest whole number). Tree unit credits are found in Table 2 of FWRC 19.120.130-
2. Formal applications (preliminary short plat drawing) must indicate which trees will be removed,
areas of non -disturbance, and tree protection measures for existing trees.
A tree unit is a value assigned to existing trees retained on the property or replacement trees. The
larger the tree, the greater value it is assigned. Required tree density can be composed of retained
trees and replacement plantings per FWRC 19.120.130. The tree and vegetation plan must clearly
show where the tree units are to be located. Per FWRC 19.120.130.3, the total number of tree units
required to be provided by a regulated activity shall be calculated by multiplying gross site acreage,
minus any proposed public or private streets and regulated critical areas (excluding buffers).
If an applicant cannot provide for the minimum tree units per acre on site, off -site mitigation, or fee -
in -lieu payment to the city's urban forestry account, may be approved by the director. See FWRC
19.120.140 for off -site mitigation and fee -in -lieu payment requirements.
12. School Impact Fees — School impact fees (currently $4,687.00 per single-family home) are due at the
time of building permit application for new dwelling units. This fee amount is subject to change as
determined annually by the Federal Way School District.
13. Approval Duration — Short plat preliminary approval expires five years from the date of approval.
Engineering plans must be approved, improvements constructed, and the short plat must be recorded
within the five-year time period. No less than 60 days prior to the lapse of approval, the applicant
may request a two-year time extension for the short plat approval.
14. Fees — Development fees change annually. Contact the Permit Center at 253-835-2607, or
periiiiteenter tr cityoffederal►vay.com. Please be aware that additional utility fees, school impact fees,
fee -in -lieu of open space, concurrency, and engineering plan review fees may apply. Please note
adoption of a new schedule is pending.
15. Recorcling—The city will record the short plat with the King County Division of Records and
Elections subsequent to the Public Works Department approval of submitted as -built plans. Prior to
recording the short plat, all surveying and monumentation must be complete. Please ensure all
taxes/property liens are paid on the subject property prior to recording, to satisfy the Treasury Office.
In addition, all other required improvements must be substantially completed as determined by the
departments of Community Development and Public Works.

2. As noted above, under the Major Issues section, the project site is separated into 2 distinct threshold
discharge areas, with separate levels of flow control for each discharge area. The western portion of
the site lies within a Conservation (Level 2) flow control area, while the eastern portion lies within a
Flood Protection (Level 3) flow control area. Because the threshold discharge areas do not meet
within '/4-mile from their points of discharge from the site (refer to the definition of Threshold
discharge area in the KCSWDM), there must be 2 separate flow control facilities provided for each
threshold discharge area. The applicant must design the flow control facilities to meet the
performance criteria identified for each discharge area. In addition to flow control facilities, Best
Management Practices (BMP's) are required as outlined in the KCSWDM.
3. The project also lies within an Enhanced Basic Water Quality Area (each threshold discharge area is
in the Enhanced Basic Water Quality Area). Water Quality Treatment shall be designed to meet the
treatment criteria of the Enhanced Basic Water Quality Menu.
4. The preliminary design drawings indicate the use of Best Management Practices (BMP's) (or Low
Impact Design — LID - options) as a means of eliminating (or reducing the size of) detention facilities.
While this is allowed and required under the KCSWDM, the use of LID will have to strictly adhere to
all of the design criteria (including soils testing) of the KCSWDM.
5. If infiltration is proposed, soil logs prepared by a licensed geotechnical engineer must be provided to
verify infiltration suitability. All soils logs and infiltration test methodology shall be per the criteria
identified in the KCSWDM.
6. Detention and water quality facilities for short plats must be above ground (i.e. open pond), and shall
be within a separate tract.
7. Show the proposed location and dimensions of the detention and water quality facilities on the
preliminary plans.
8. If more than one acre will be disturbed during construction, a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) construction storm water permit may be required. Information
regarding this permit can be obtained from the Washington State Department of Ecology at
http.//wNvw.ecy.wa gov/programs/wg/storm-vvate-/construction/index.html or by calling 360-407-
6048.
Right -of -Way Improvements
1. See the Traffic Division comments from Sarady Long, Sr. Transportation Planning Engineer, for
traffic related items.
2. If dedication of additional right-of-way is required to install street frontage improvements, the
dedication shall be conveyed to the City through a statutory warranty deed. The dedicated area must
have clear title prior to recording.
3. All stormwater treatment and detention requirements outlined above apply to any improvements
within the public right-of-way.

I . Engineered plans are required for clearing, grading, road construction, and utility work. Plans must be
reviewed and approved by the City. Initial engineering review fees are $569.50 for short plat review,
and $68.50 per hour for additional review time. A final TIR shall be prepared for the project and
submitted with the engineering plans. Both the TIR and the plans will require the signature/seal of a
professional engineer registered/licensed in the State of Washington.
2. In addition to engineering approval, short plats and subdivisions are required to obtain a separate
permit for grading on the building lots. Details and fees may be obtained from the Building
Department.
3. The Federal Way Public Works Development Standards Manual (including standard detail drawings,
standard notes, and engineering checklists) is available on the City's website at
llittp://www.cifyoffederalway.com/iiidex.aspx?nid=171 to assist the applicant's engineer in preparing
the plans and TIR.
4. Bonding is required for all street improvements and temporary erosion and sediment control measures
associated with the project. The bond amount shall be 120 percent of the estimated costs of the
improvements. An administrative fee deposit will need to accompany the bond to cover any possible
legal fees in the event the bond must be called. Upon completion of the installation of the
improvements, and final approval of the Public Works Inspector, the bond will be reduced to 30
percent of the original amount and held for a two-year maintenance period.
The developer will be responsible for the maintenance of all storm drainage facilities (including the
detention and water quality facilities) and street systems during the two-year maintenance period.
During that time, the Public Works Inspector will make periodic visits to the site to ensure the
developer's compliance with the maintenance requirements. Upon satisfactory completion of the two-
year maintenance period, the remainder of the bond will be released. Maintenance for public roads
and subdivision drainage facilities then become the responsibility of the City. Maintenance for private
roads and drainage facilities, including short plats, remain the responsibility of the individual property
owners.
6. When topographic survey information is shown on the plans, the vertical datum block shall include
the phrase "DATUM: N.G.V.D.-29" or "DATUM: K.C.A.S.," on all sheets where vertical elevations
are called out.
7. Drawings submitted for plan review shall be printed on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" paper. Site plans shall
be drawn at a scale of 1" = 20', or larger. Architectural scales are not permitted on engineering plans.
8. Provide cut and fill quantities on the clearing and grading plan.
9. Temporary Erosion and Sediment -control (TESL) measures, per Appendix D of the 2009 KCSWDM,

Transportation Concurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90)
1. A concurrency pen -nit is required for this development project. The concurrency analysis wilt
determine if adequate roadway capacity exists during the weekday PM peak period to accommodate
the proposed development project. Please note that supplemental transportation analysis and
concurrency mitigation may be required if the proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in
tile, six -year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP).
2. Based on the submitted materials for a four -lot short plat, the Institute of Transportation Engineers
(ITE) Trip Genercrfio►t - Wh Edition, land use code 210 (Single Family), the proposed project is
estimated to generate approximately 6 new weekday PM peak hour trips.
3. The estimated 2015 fee for the concurrency permit application is S&LZ 00 (1-10 Trips). This fee is an
estimate and may change afl:er December 31, 2015. The concurrency application fee must be paid in
full at the time the concurrency pennit application is submitted witty land use application. The fee
may change based on the new weekday PM peak hour trips as identified in the concurrency trip
generation. The applicant has the option of having an independent traffic engineer prepare the
concurrency analysis consistent with City procedures; however, the fee remains the same.
Transportation Impact Fees (TIF) (FWRC 19.91)
Based on the submitted materials for four (4) single family lots, the estimated traffic impact fee is
115,320. The actual fee will be calculated and paid at the time of plat recording. The applicant may defer
pars or all of the impact fee payment amount to either building permit issuance; or to later than closing of
the sale of the single family home. If this option is selected, covenants prepared by the City to enforce
payment of the deferred fees will be recorded at the applicant's expense on each lot at the time of plat
recording for residential land divisions.

Narrative tCEIVIED
Proposed Residential Short Plat NOV 16 2015
31811 6th Place SW CITY OF ED RAL tVAy
Parcel No. 072104-9093
The goal is to develop four residential lots in the RS 9.6 zone. All lots will be equal to or greater
than 9,600 SF.
The main project objective is to minimize the creation of impervious surface and maximize the
retention of precipitation that falls on the development. Impervious surface minimization is to
protect the two downstream stormwater receiving systems:
• Fisher's Pond (to the east). r
• Category 3 wetland (offsite to the southwest)''
Access will be handled by a private roadway off of 6th PI SW. Roadway will terminate in an
emergency vehicle turnaround (currently a cul-de-sac is proposed). The roadway will be primarily
composed of porous HMA so as to maximize retention of site runoff; porous surfacing also provides
for water quality requirements. Preliminary indications reveal site soils are very conducive to
stormwater treatment via filtration and infiltration,
Onsite sidewalks will be constructed of pervious concrete. The sidewalk system will link 6th Place to
SW 318th St.
A planter strip with street trees will be constructed along the onsite roadway.
Roof drainage will be handled by extensive rain garden systems in each of the rear yards.
The proponents will request that 6th Place public street improvements be waived or deferred to
minimize creation of impervious surface in the Fisher Pond Watershed.
Tract A is 35' wide for access and utilities as well as future right-of-way dedication.
Tract B is to accommodate private access and utilities associated with the portion of the turnaround
outside Tract A.
Tract C is open space; the proposed open space area is 0.076 acres (5 % of gross area). The
proposal is to pay the "in -lieu -of' fee to mitigate for not meeting the 15% open space requirement.
LakeHaven Utility District will provide public water and sewer service to the site. Fire hydrants are
located just offsite in 8th Place SW and 6th Place SW.

The site is approximately 65,775 square feet (1.51 acres) in size and is currently
undeveloped. The property is made up of a forested community that is dominated by red
alder (Alnus rubra) and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Beneath the forest canopy
is a shrub layer that is dominated by salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis). No structures
currently exist on the property. With the exception of the wetland buffer associated with
Fisher's Pond, no other critical areas were identified on the property.
2.2 Proposed Actions
The applicant proposes to construct a new two-story single family residence on the
subject property (Figure 3). The location of the structure is proposed in the western
portion of the property. In addition to the single-family residence, two attached garages
and associated concrete parking will be constructed. Access to the residence will be from
6'h Place SW and will consist of a 15-foot wide asphalt driveway. Prior to the
construction of these features, areas of the property will be cleared of vegetation and
minor grading will occur.
2.3 Regulatory Summary
Fisher's Pond is located approximately 50 feet southwest of the subject property and is
classified as a Palustrine Aquatic Bed/Forested Wetland. Based on the Washington State
Department of Ecology's (Ecology) Washington State Wetland Rating System for
Western WA — Revised (Hruby 2006), and the City of Federal Way Revised Code (CFRC
19.175), Fisher Pond is a Category I .wetland and shall have a standard buffer width of
200 feet.
Although the subject property does not contain any critical areas, Fisher's Pond is located
within 200 feet of the subject property (Grette Associates 2012). Typically, only local
jurisdictions regulate wetland buffer impacts.

3 IMPACT ANALYSIS
The proposed project will result in unavoidable impacts to critical area buffers on the
subject property. As described above in Section 2.3, there are no critical areas within the
subject property. However, southwest of the property, across 6'h Place SW, is a Category
I wetland (Fisher's Pond) that is within 200 feet of the property. A portion of the 200-
foot buffer for this wetland extends onto the subject property (Figure 3). Within the
subject property there is approximately 17,976 square feet of wetland buffer area. No
impacts to critical areas are proposed for this project. The affected critical area buffer is
summarized below in Table 1.
Table 1. Proposed Critical Area Impact Summary by Type.

Total

3.1 Wetland Impacts
No wetland impacts will occur during the proposed project.
3.2 Wetland Buffer Impacts
The proposed project will construct a new 15-foot wide asphalt driveway, extending
approximately 226 linear feet from 6`h Place SW to the proposed location of the new
single-family residence (Figure 3). The total length of the driveway that is proposed
within the wetland buffer area is approximately 116 feet and will permanently remove
approximately 1,741 square feet of wetland buffer area. In addition, during the
construction of the proposed driveway there will likely be temporary wetland buffer
impacts adjacent to the driveway footprint. These impacts will be associated with the
grading and clearing of the driveway area and will occur over a 1 to 3 week period.
3.3 Affected Functions and Values
The wetland buffer area that is within the subject property is forested with a dense shrub
layer beneath. However, the existing wetland buffer west of 6`h Place SW is likely
providing little wetland buffer function due to the disconnection from the wetland caused
by the paved road. The presence of a Place SW provides a hydrological barrier for
surface water that would otherwise flow into the wetland. Currently, the surface water
that sheet flows toward the road from the wetland buffer is likely intercepted by the
vegetated area adjacent to the paved edge of the road and conveyed to a stormwater catch
basin.
Although wetland buffer functions are likely limited west of 6`h Place SW, the buffer area
does provides some wildlife habitat. The dense vegetation within the property likely
provides large and small mammal foraging and cover, passerine, waterfowl, and raptor
foraging and nesting, and amphibian foraging and refuge. Social values include aesthetic
and ecological characteristics.
Soltys Wetland Buffer 5 October 2013
Mitigation Plan Grette Associates, LLC
The construction of the proposed asphalt driveway will result in the removal of
vegetation that currently provides refuge for wildlife and will reduce stormwater
infiltration due to the impervious surface of the driveway. Impervious surfaces do not
allow stormwater to infiltrate, thus the water collected on these types of surfaces tend to
create a surge of stormwater runoff during rain events. The stormwater will also likely
collect sediments and pollutants from the impervious area as the water is conveyed off of
its surface.
4 MITIGATION APPROACH
The proposed project was designed and configured to avoid and then minimize impacts to
the critical areas within the project area. Unavoidable impacts to the wetland buffer will
be mitigated through the construction of vegetated bioswales that will be constructed
parallel to the portion of the driveway that is within the wetland buffer (Attachment A,
Sheet 1 & 2). These actions will be accompanied by revegetating any additional area that
is disturbed during the construction of the driveway within the buffer area.
4.1 Mitigation Sequencing
As required by the City of Federal Way, this section describes the efforts made by the
project proponent to apply mitigation sequencing to the proposed project. Mitigation
sequencing is a set of steps designed to prevent unavoidable impacts to the' environment,
and then to rectify those impacts that cannot be avoided. The steps considered during the
planning of this project are discussed below.
1. Avoidance
The environmental impacts associated with the project are unavoidable. Based on
the location of the subject property and adjacent properties, the only feasible road
access to the property is off of 61h Place SW (Figure 3) and through the wetland
buffer. In order to access the subject property a driveway must be constructed
through the wetland buffer to connect 6th Place SW.
2. Reduction
Relocating the driveway to avoid environmental impacts is not feasible. Based on
the City of Federal Way code, CFRC 19.135.270, the maximum driveway width
for a single family residence is 20 feet. The proposed driveway has been reduced
to IS feet in width.
3. Restoration
Due to the requirements needed to access the property, the restoration of the
permanently affected area is not feasible. The construction process will require
extending approximately 116 feet of asphalt driveway through the wetland buffer
area, which will permanently remove 1,741 square feet of wetland buffer. Areas
outside of the permanently lost buffer that are temporarily affected by
Soltys Wetland Buffer 6 October 2013
Mitigation Plan Grette Associates, LLC
construction of the driveway will be restored to pre -impact conditions as specified
below in Section 5.2.
4. Compensation
.The project proponent proposes to compensate for the affected functions within
the wetland buffer area through the construction of vegetated bioswales and by
restoring any portion of the wetland buffer that is disturbed during the
construction. The proposed bioswale construction and buffer restoration will
occur immediately adjacent to the driveway (Appendix A).
4.2 Goals and Objectives
The overall goal of the Mitigation Plan is to compensate for lost of wetland buffer
functions resulting from project construction. More specific mitigation goals include:
• Providevater quality enhancement;
■ Provide enhanced hydrological wetland buffer function;
■ Restore upland vegetation diversity.
Specific Functional objectives of the Plan include:
1. Create two 4 ft. x 70 ft. vegetated bioswales;
2. Restore upland vegetation in all disturbed areas.
5 COMPENSATORY MITIGATION PLAN
Compensatory mitigation will occur on the subject property (Appendix A). Actions
proposed at the site include constructing two vegetated bioswales and revegetating any
additional area that is temporarily disturbed during the construction of the driveway
within the buffer area or mitigation area.
The proposed compensation for the project was determined based on the existing wetland
buffer functions and conversations with the City of Federal Way planning department.
Based on the existing health of the vegetation within the buffer area, enhancement of the
wetland buffer (i.e. vegetation enhancement) will likely not increase the existing wetland
buffer functions. Therefore, the proposed compensation is designed to provide water
quality enhancement associated with stormwater runoff from the proposed driveway and
adjacent upland area. The impact area, approximately 1,741 square feet, consists of an
approximately 15-foot by 116-foot area where an asphalt driveway will be constructed.
This area is currently a forested community dominated by red alder and Douglas fir with
an understory of shrubs dominated by salmonberry.
5.1 Target Functions
5.1.1 Wetland Buffer Functions
The target function proposed for improvement within the buffer area is water quality.
Water quality within the buffer will be enhanced by collecting and treating stormwater
Soltys Wetland Buffer 7 October 2013
Mitigation Plan Grette Associates, LLC
runoff associated with the proposed driveway. Currently, the groundcover within the
forested buffer is mostly bare and likely does not filter out large amounts of sediments
and pollutants from surface water. Constructing two bioswales within the wetland buffer
area (north and south sides of the driveway) will provide the opportunity to filter out
sediments and pollutants from stormwater originating from the driveway. The wetland
buffer areas adjacent to the proposed driveway and bioswales will also be planted with
native shrubs and seeded with a native seed mix to reduce erosion and increase the native
species diversity within the buffer.
5.2 Mitigation Design
The intent of the compensatory mitigation actions at the subject property is to offset the
permanent loss of function of wetland buffer area within the site. Mitigation actions
include constructing two vegetated bioswales and restoration of the adjacent wetland
buffer area using native plantings.
5.2.1 Grading Plan
Initially, the extent of the proposed grading will be clearly marked, and silt fencing will
be installed along the outer grading extents. All vegetation within the areas proposed for
excavation and grading will be mechanically removed. Grading and clearing limits
within the wetland buffer area will be limited to 10 feet on either side of the paved
driveway edge.
During excavation and grading, Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be employed to
minimize erosion of disturbed surface soils and to prevent sediment -laden runoff from
leaving the project site. BMPs to be employed during construction may include (but are
not limited to) silt fencing and/or straw bales around the perimeter of the clearing and
grading areas, mulching area immediately after completion of grading, and installation of
plant material as soon as practical after grading.
Once the vegetation is removed, grading will be conducted using bull dozers, excavators,
dump trucks and other like equipment as needed to complete the work. Prior to the final
grade and paving of the driveway, the two bioswale will be excavated and constructed to
typical design standards presented in Attachment A, Sheets 1 and 2. Plantings within the
bioswales and adjacent areas will be installed once the final grade and paving is achieved.
5.2.2 Planting Plan
Planting installation will be performed in accordance with the specifications outlined in
this plan. Any alterations to the planting plan due to site conditions will require approval
from the project biologist and appropriate regulatory agencies prior to installation. The
project proponent is only proposing planting within the designated mitigation area and
bioswales (Appendix A, Sheet 3).
The intent of vegetating the bioswales and adjacent areas is to create a vegetated area that
will likely provide water quality and hydrological functions within the area proposed for
impacts. The herbaceous species will be planted in clumps of four and each clump will
be spaced on 2-foot centers and will include Dewey's sedge (Carex deweyana),
Soltys Wetland Buffer 8 October 2013
Mitigation Plan Grette Associates, LLC
northwest territory sedge (Carex utriculata), and Dagger leaf rush (Juncus ensifolius).
Shrub species will be planted in clusters among the emergent vegetation on 4- to 6-foot
centers and will include Nootka rose (Rosa nutkana), cluster rose (Rosa pisocarpa),
Scouler's willow (Salix scouleriana), and Indian plum (Oemleria cerasiformis). The
remaining bare areas within the mitigation site, including the bioswales, will be seeded
with an approved native seed mix.
5.2.3 Planting Schedule
The proposed planting schedule for the mitigation area is presented below in Table 2.
The specific quantities of each species will be calculated during final design of the
mitigation action. In order to reduce mortality, a late fall planting installation (October —
November) schedule is preferred. Plants should not be installed during or immediately
before freezing weather.

Plant installation will be performed in accordance with the specifications outlined in this
Plan. Any alterations to the planting plan due to site conditions will require prior
approval from the project biologist and/or City Planner.
All plant materials to be used on the site will be native to Western Washington and will
consist of nursery grown stock from a reputable, local dealer. Only native species
specified in the approved plant schedule are to be used; no hybrids will be allowed. Plant
substitutions must be approved by the project biologist if specified species are not
commercially available.
Plant material provided will be typical of their species or variety; they will exhibit
normal, densely -developed branches and vigorous, fibrous root systems. Plants will be
sound, healthy, vigorous plants free from defects and all forms of infestation.
5.2.4 Preparation and Installation of Planting Materials
The landscape contractor shall verify the location of all elements of the landscape plan
prior to installation. The project biologist may adjust the locations of landscape elements
during the installation period as necessary.
1 Emergent species shall be planted with four (4) plugs per clump. _
Soltys Wetland Buffer 9 October 2013
Mitigation Plan Grette Associates, LLC
Circular plant pits with vertical sides will be excavated for all container stock. The pits
should be at least twice the diameter of the root system, and the depth of the pit should
accommodate the entire root system. The bottom of each pit will be scarified to a depth of 4
inches, and the pit should be thoroughly wetted prior to plant insertion to prevent capillary
stress. The planting hole shall be amended with a mixture of topsoil and organic material if
necessary to provide appropriate rooting media.
Broken roots should be pruned with a sharp instrument and rootballs should be
thoroughly soaked prior to installation. Set plant material upright in the planting pit to
proper grade 'and alignment. Water plants thoroughly midway through backfilling and
add Agriform tablets. Water pits again upon completion of backfilling. No filling should
occur around stems. Do not use frozen or muddy mixtures for backfilling. Form a ring
of soil around the edge of each planting pit to retain water, and install a 2-1/2 inch layer of
mulch around the base of each container plant.
5.2.5 Compliance Inspection
A compliance inspection will consist of evaluating the plantings immediately after
construction to confirm the plan was followed and were installed appropriately. The
compliance inspection will also evaluate the construction of the two bioswales. A walk-
through survey will be conducted to verify that installation conforms to the approved
plan.
Following the completion of the compliance inspection, a compliance memorandum will
be prepared by a qualified biologist to document the construction and verify that all
design features have been correctly implemented. Any changes to the planting plan will
also be discussed in the compliance memorandum. Photographs will also be taken to
document the completion of the mitigation area. The memorandum will be submitted to
the appropriate regulatory staff within 60 days following completion of all compensatory
mitigation actions.
5.2.6 Photographic Documentation
As described above, photographs will be taken during the compliance inspection in order
to obtain representative photographs of the mitigation site. Photographs will be taken at
each end planted area to document the planting and the construction of the bioswales.
5.3 Performance Standards
Performance standards provide a clear means of evaluating the success of a mitigation
action. The following performance standards have been developed to reflect the goals
and functional objectives detailed in Section 4.2 of this document. The performance
standards specifically related to this project and presented below in Table 3.

6 CONTINGENCY PLAN
The contingency plan provides a framework for taking action if the mitigation actions fail
to meet the performance standards described above. The contingency actions will vary
depending on whether physical or biological processes are responsible for non-attairunent
of performance standards, and the degree of shortfall. If the Project fails one or more
performance standards, but the permitting agencies agree the shortfall is minor, then
additional plantings, or like action, prior to undertaking more intense corrective actions
may be proposed.
6.1 Contingency Actions
This contingency plan identifies a planning process for selecting appropriate actions to
address failure of specific performance standards. In order to maintain the flexibility
needed to respond effectively and appropriately to biological and/or physical conditions,
this plan does not present a specific list of actions that will be taken to remedy all specific
types of failures at the site.
Failure of biological components of the mitigation actions are more difficult to predict
and specific responses are impossible to present in detail. However, the following
general approach is anticipated:
If the vegetation planted in the planted areas fails to meet the performance
standards, additional planting of the same or alternate species may occur.
