01— Gv3Zc79 A-0
As requested by the City, I visited the property located to the southwest of the intersection of 91h
and 3681h St. in Federal Way. On September 24, 2001, 1 completed a reconnaissance to determine
whether any wetlands are located on or within 200 feet of the property. No property corners could
be -found in the field, and therefore the property boundaries were approximately located using the
parcel map provided by you. The map scale on the parcel map was approximated and
measurements made from the northeast property boundary to determine the property corners. No
wetlands are located on the site. One wetland lies offsite of the western property boundary. This
wetland is identified as 31-21-04-181 in the Federal Way Wetland Inventory. The approximate
wetland boundary was located at several points, the distance paced to the approximated property
boundary, and mapped. The map is attached.
At its closest point, the wetland edge was about 18 feet from the approximated western property
boundary. It generally ranged from 18 to 23 feet from the property boundary. This wetland is an
isolated depressional wetland. According to the Federal Way Zoning Code, Section 22-1, this
wetland should be classified as a Category III as it appears to be approximately half an acre in size
and it has one wetland class consisting of shrub -sapling vegetation dominated by redosier
dogwood, spirea, and salmonberry. The minimum recommended buffer for Category III wetlands
greater than 10,000 square feet in area is 50 feet. Thus at its greatest extent, the wetland buffer
extends 32 feet inside the approximated property boundary, as shown in the attached map.
The wetland buffer to the south, east, and north of the wetland is forested. It is vegetated by black
cottonwood, alder, western red cedar, and an understory of redosier dogwood, salmonberry,
swordfern, and salal. The buffer in these areas is undisturbed and appears to be in good condition.
The remainder of the property is vegetated with these species, as well as big -leaf maple, beaked
hazelnut and western hemlock. Several trees on the property are greater than 20 inches in
diameter. The buffer to the west of the wetland lies in the back yard of a single-family residence.
It appears that there is adequate area on the remainder of the property to construct a single-family
residence and septic field outside the buffer and any required building setbacks.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this memo. You can contact me at 206-522-

Date: September 17, 2001
SUBJECT: Scope of Work for property at 9`h and 368'h
Attached are two scopes of work for the property at 9 h and 368`'. Please note that one
scope is for a wetland reconnaissance and one is for a delineation. Your client can
decide which he woii Id prefer tha t we do. Please convey to him that if he gives the go-
ahead for a delineation but we find that there are no wetlands on or within 200 ft. of the
site, we only charge him ;for the time we spend in the field. For both scopes, I have only
included the cost of a letter that records our findings and provides the wetland
classification and buffers. These scopes do not include the cost of a full Sensitive Areas
Study. Please contact me if you have any questions about this proposed work.
We have schedulekJ1 time to complete a delineation on the 24"'. Please confirm this at
your earliest con.veiiience. Thanks.

Re: Parcel #2188200050
Hello Greg,
S =lrftx sob 5-2)z 3S`0-7
olc"ti WSU/194
I am looking to purchase Parcel #2188200050 and to build a single-family
dwelling. It appears from your map that there is a possible wetland issue nearby
which may affect the use of this property.
I am requesting to have the scope of work intitiated for wetland delineation and
classification regarding wetland number 31-21-04-181 as it pertains to building a
single-family house on Parcel #2188200050.
Thank you for your timely response, as I am working to have this resolved within
a short feasibility period.
Best Regards,
Dan Wingard
