13-103065RESUBMITTED June 13, 2013 JUN 13 2013 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY COS Matt Herrera Associate Planner City of Federal Way Subject: Mirror Estates; revised clearing limits Matt, We are purchasing the plat of Mirror Estates (Permit No. 07-102761-00-EN) in Federal Way from West Coast Bank. We look forward to finishing this plat and making it a positive addition to the City of Federal Way. We have a long history of developing many successful projects throughout South King County. I would be more than happy to share information on these projects with you if you like. I would like to request a small deviation to the proposed clearing limits to this project which would help us in making this not only a viable project, but will allow us to create a better finished product and ultimately enhance the surrounding neighborhood. Several neighbors have also voiced their concerns about problem trees (cottonwoods) that are a nuisance and danger to their properties. As you know it is extremely expensive to import material and in this case it should not be necessary based upon the soils and quantities that exist on site. I believe the overall impact to the neighborhood will be lessened by this approval.

These maps were prepared using the approved TESCP plans for Mirror Estates. The plat encompasses 9.5 acres. Roughly 2 acres will remain undisturbed open space (or created wetland area). The balance of the site will either be cleared now during plat construction, or later when homes are built. Under the approved plan, roughly 5.6 acres is approved for clearing during plat construction. The remaining 1.9 acres is scattered throughout the area of future lots in 7 separate locations, all of which will eventually need to be cleared and graded when homes are built. This plat received preliminary approval of this plat in 2007 at a time when the City was hesitant to allow full site clearing during construction of a plat, which is why the 1.9 acres was set aside for delayed clearing. However, since that time, the City has recognized the benefit of allowing a developer/builder to perform ail required land disturbance activity during the plat development stage, and has changed its approach and recommendations to allow full site clearing to be done for plats with smaller urban lots such as Mirror Estates. If these isolated areas are left in their natural state for clearing and grading later, it will have a significant and measurable adverse impact on the surroundinq neighborhood as well as result in significant additional (and unnecessary) exposure to water quality issues over a much longer period of time. If these areas must remain protected from clearing and grading until the home building stage, it will have the following adverse impacts on the surrounding community and local road system: The earthwork is not balanced under the approved plan. This means literally hundreds of additional truck trips will be required to and from the site bringing dirt on the site and/or hauling dirt off the site. Furthermore, the approved design will require importing thousands of cubic yards of dirt to build the roads, only to be followed by the need to haul off thousands of cubic yards of excess material on many of the lots that are not cleared at this time. • These truck trips will create unnecessary added traffic and wear and tear on City roads and the local neighborhood streets with the associated impacts. 18215 72ND AVENUE SOUTH KENT, WA 98032 (425) 251-6222 (425) 251-8782 FAX BRANCH OFFICES ♦ OLYMPIA, WA ♦ CONCORD, CA ♦ TEMECULA, CA www.barghausen.com Matt Herrera City of Federal Way Community Development Services -2- June 13, 2013 • Regardless of how much attention is paid to street cleaning, wheel washing, and other BMPs, it is likely that such extensive heavy truck traffic may result in mud on the streets that reaches the storm system. While it is customary for construction projects to deal with such issues, it makes little sense to create more exposure to this if it can be avoided by keeping the dirt on site as much as possible. • This problem only gets worse if the individual lots are cleared as permits are issued later in the 7 isolated areas. It is inefficient to match grades between lots as they are cleared, which leads to more erosion control effort later that could be avoided. In order to avoid these adverse impacts, we are requesting approval to clear and grade these 7 isolated areas now in conjunction with the plat development. If these areas can be cleared now and the lots graded to 'finished" pads, we can balance the earthwork on site and avoid hundreds of truck trips carrying dirt on local roads. This is not a question of whether or not the vegetation will be removed and the lots graded. It is only a question of "when." It is clear in this case that the earthwork is imbalanced due mostly to the topographic conditions and design requirements. We can mitigate this by clearing and grading the lots and roads at the same time, thereby dramatically reducing the number of unnecessary truck trips on City streets. The plat is being purchased by a local builder/developer (Eagle Creek Land & Development, LLC). They intend to build on the lots. Enclosed are two supplemental letters in support of our request. One is from Eagle Creek, and the other is from their General Contractor, RJC Construction Group, Inc. Both of these letters further support this request. Please let us know when this can be scheduled for review by the City Council. We are anxious to take advantage of the summer weather so that this plat can be built and paved before the rainy season.

I have over 15 years experience in building plats in Western Washington and make these statements based on this experience. 1. Doing limited clearing requires multiple mobilizations by clearing crews after roads, sidewalks and other improvements have been installed. This work can cause significant damage to improvements dui to truck and equipment traffic. This work also signifantly increase potential erosion control issues after site has been stabilized. Not only -that but significant clearing after construction of roads also increase impact on neighbors in adjacent areas. 2. Mass grading approval would allow for a balance dirt work onsite therefore limiting the amount of import and export needed for the site. Under the limited grading plan approved the site is significantly short of structural dirt needed to build the road and other improvements. More than 7000 cubic yards of imported fill material would be needed. This would require nearly 300 trucks to enter and leave the site. This tracking would significantly impact the neighborhood and potentially damage existing curb, sidewalk and other improvements in the area. 3_ A limited grading approval would also result in the need to export excess material from areas graded at a later date. Again this would significantly impact the neighborhood with increased truck traffic and lead to additional erosion control problems after the site has already been stabilized. If you have additional questions or concerns please let me know. Dean Burton RJC Construction Group P.O.
