RE: FILE #08-103455-00-SE; ENVIRONMENTAL THRESHOLD DETERMINATION
Cottages at Redondo, King County Parcels 367440-0140 & 367440-0145, Federal Way
Dear Mr. Bridgeford:
This office and other City staff have reviewed the environmental checklist you submitted. We have determined that the
proposal will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. As a result, an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) is not required to comply with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
A 14-day comment period is required by the SEPA rules (WAC 197-11-340). A notice inviting comments will be
published in the Federal Way Mirror on November 5, 2008. At the end of the comment period, the department will
determine if the Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) should be withdrawn, modified, or issued as proposed. All
final determinations may be appealed within 14 days following the comment deadline. No licenses, permits, or
approvals will be issued until completion of the appeal period.
Our decision not to require an EIS does not mean that the license, permit, or approval you are seeking from the City has
been granted. Approval or denial of the proposal will be made by the appropriate administrative or legislative body
vested with that authority. The environmental record is considered by the decision maker(s) and conditions will be
imposed to reduce identified environmental impacts, as long as the conditions are based on adopted and designated City
policy.
After a final decision has been made on your proposal (i.e., after a permit has been issued or City Council action taken,
as applicable), you may, but are not required to, publish a Notice of Action as set forth in RCW 43.21 C.075. The Notice
of Action sets forth a time period after which no legal challenges regarding the proposal's compliance with SEPA can
be made. A copy of the Notice of Action form and copies of RCW 43.21C.080 and WAC 197-11-680 providing
instructions for giving this notice are available from the Department of Community Development Services.
The City is not responsible for publishing the Notice of Action. However, the City is responsible for giving a notice (to
parties of record) stating the date for commencing a judicial appeal (including the SEPA portion of that appeal) if your
proposal is one for which the City's action on it has a specified time period within which any court appeals must be
made.
If you need further assistance, please contact Associate Planner Matthew Herrera at 253-835-2638.
Sincerely,
Ai�t�

GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION
Proposed Action: Proposed cottage housing project consisting of eight single-family residential
units with associated site improvements on two existing parcels totaling 1.3
acres.
Project Name: Cottages at Redondo
Final Staff Evaluation for Environmental Checklist Page 1
Cottages at Redondo File 08-103455-00-SE/Doc 1 D 47561
Location: The subject site has not been formally addressed. The affected King County
parcels are 367440-0140 and 367440-0145 located near the intersection of 18`h
Avenue South and Pacific Highway South.
Applicant: John Sawyer of Tom Sawyer Enterprises
Lead Agency: City of Federal Way Department of Community Development Services
Federal Way
Zoning: RS 7.2
Federal Way
Comprehensive
Plan Designation: Single -Family High -Density Residential
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ACTION AND BACKGROUND
The proposed cottage housing development consists of eight single-family residential units; one common
house to be shared with residents of the development; three garage structures and parking for 17 vehicles;
common open space; on -site stormwater facilities; and associated site improvements. The proposed
development will encompass two unimproved single-family residential parcels totaling 1.3 acres. The
application is one of three cottage housing demonstration projects authorized for review by City Council
Ordinance 08-580.
The project action is not categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), specifically the flexible threshold adopted by the City in: Federal Way
City Code (FWCC) 18-73(5) "For landfills and excavations up to 500 cubic yards"; and Washington
Administrative Code 197-11-800(23)(b) "All stormwater, water and sewer facilities, lines equipment,
hookups or appurtenances including, utilizing or related to lines eight inches or less in diameter."
STAFF EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
The following are responses to the elements of the environmental checklist. Staff has provided a response
indicating agreement, clarification, and/or amendment of the applicant's response.
A. BACKGROUND
1-5. Concur with the checklist.
6. Projected start of spring 2008 has since passed. Land use, building, and engineering approval
must be granted prior to construction.
7-9. Concur with the checklist.
10. Applicant will be required to obtain the following approvals or permits: (1) Threshold
Determination; (2) Concurrency Determination; (3) Building Permit; (4) Engineering
Approval; and (5) Boundary Line Adjustment.
11-12. Concur with the checklist.
Final Staff Evaluation for Environmental Checklist Page 2
Cottages at Redondo File 08-103455-00-SE/nog I A 47561
B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. Earth
a-c. Concur with the checklist.
d. The City's critical areas map indicates a majority of the subject property is within an
"Erosion Hazard Area."
e-g. Concur with the checklist.
h. Applicant will be required to implement a temporary erosion and sedimentation control
plan as part of the City's engineering stage of construction permitting. The Public Works
Department's Development Standards and the 1998 King County Surface Water Design
Manual is expected to provide sufficient mitigation of potential impacts.
2. Air
a. Short-term impacts to air quality during construction activity will contribute to carbon
monoxide levels through operation of construction machinery, delivery equipment and
materials, and worker access to the site by automobile. These activities also involve
emissions of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen, potentially elevating the level of
photochemical oxidants, such as ozone, in the ambient air. Longer term use -related
impacts will vary in level, based on traffic generation and residential fireplaces or wood
burning stoves, but are not expected to result in significant adverse impacts beyond that
normally associated with a residential -use environment. Long-term impacts, due to
automobile emissions, will vary in level according to the amount of traffic generated by
future residents and visitors.
b-c. Concur with the checklist. Compliance with local, state, and federal air quality standards
is expected to provide sufficient mitigation of potential impacts.
3. Water
a. Surface
1. Redondo Creek is located approximately 600 feet south of the subject property.
The City has designated Redondo Creek a Major Stream. This stream begins at
Steel Lake, approximately'/2 mile from the subject property, and eventually flows
into Puget Sound.
2. No work will take place over, in, or within 200 feet of the above -referenced surface
waters.
3-6 Concur with the checklist.
b-c. Ground and Water Runoff (including stormwater)
As proposed, the runoff will be collected from impervious surfaces via catch basins and
roof drain pipes and conveyed to an on -site detention pond. Roof drain pipes will be eight
inches in diameter and outflow pipes from catch basins will be 12 inches in diameter. The
water quality system will treat a portion of the flow before it is discharged into the City's
conveyance system, which eventually leads to Puget Sound.
Final Staff Evaluation for Environmental Checklist Page 3
Cottages at Redondo File 08-103455-00-SE/Doc I D 47561
d. Storm drainage facilities are required to be designed in accordance with the King County
Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), as amended by the City of Federal Way.
Compliance with local, state, and federal water runoff standards is expected to provide
sufficient mitigation of potential impacts.
4. Plants
a-d. Concur with the checklist. As the subject property is undeveloped, vegetation removal
will be necessary to provide a building envelope for the proposed structures and related
improvements. The City's significant tree ordinance requires 25% retention/replacement
of on -site significant trees. As proposed, two of the three significant trees on the subject
property will be removed, which is below the threshold of replacement. Applicant
proposes landscaped areas that include native planting and community terraced garden.
5. Animals
a-c. Concur with the checklist.
d. No impacts to animals are anticipated, as the work area is relatively small and the area to
be graded does not provide any significant animal habitat. The applicant will provide
typical residential landscaping such as trees, shrubs, and groundcover; therefore, no
further mitigation is necessary.
6. Energy and Natural Resources
a-c. Concur with the checklist. No significant adverse energy and natural resource impacts are
anticipated; therefore, no mitigation measures are necessary.
7. Environmental Health
a. The risk of environmental health hazards is always present during construction projects.
Compliance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations should sufficiently
mitigate the potential for significant adverse environmental impacts.
b. During construction of the residence, noise levels will increase on the site due to
construction activity. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1006, construction activity and the
operation of any heavy equipment will be limited to the hours between 7:00 a.m. and
8:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, with such activities being prohibited on Sundays or
on holidays observed by the City unless an exception is granted by the City of Federal
Way Community Development Director. Compliance with state and local noise standards
will provide sufficient mitigation of impacts.
8. Land and Shoreline Use
a-e. Concur with the checklist.
f. The Federal Way Comprehensive Plan designation is Single -Family High -Density
Residential.
g. The site is not located within jurisdiction of the Shoreline Management Act.
h. The City's critical area inventory has designated a majority of the subject property an
"Erosion Hazard Area."
i-1. Concur with the checklist.
Final Staff Evaluation for Environmental Checklist Page 4
Cottages at Redondo File 08-103455-00-SE/Do. 1.D.47561
9. Housing
a-c Concur with the checklist. Net gain of dwelling units is proposed. No housing impacts
will result from the proposal; therefore, no mitigation is necessary.
10. Aesthetics
a-c. Concur with the checklist. Cottage housing height restrictions are 24-foot maximum ridge
height and 18 feet above average building elevation. The proposed action will not result
in any aesthetic impacts provided the proposal complies with applicable code
requirements and compliance with the final decision of the Hearing Examiner.
11. Light and Glare
a-d. Concur with the checklist. Acceptable levels of light and glare normally associated with
residential use and corresponding traffic is anticipated.
12. Recreation
a-c. The proposed action will not result in any recreation impacts. Applicant will provide on -
site common open space, which includes a courtyard and community garden. Applicant
will also provide a "common house" to be enjoyed by residents of the cottage housing
development.
13. Historic and Cultural Preservation
a-c. No known historic, archeological, or cultural resources are known to be present on or
near the site. Compliance with local, state, and federal regulations will provide sufficient
mitigation of potential impacts. No additional mitigation is required.
14. Transportation
a-e. Concur with the checklist.
f-g. Transportation impacts will be mitigated via the City's Concurrency process. The Public
Works Traffic Division is currently reviewing the Concurrency application and will
determine the amount of peak trips and any required mitigation. If it is determined
mitigation is necessary, the applicant shall pay a pro-rata share of future traffic
improvement projects near the subject property. The projected total share to be paid by
the applicant shall be paid prior to the issuance of any construction permit.
15. Public Services
a-b. Concur with the checklist.
16. Utilities
a-b. Concur with the checklist.
CONCLUSION
The lead agency for this proposal has determined that the proposed action does not have probable
significant adverse impact on the environment and an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not
required under RCW 43.2 1 C.032(2)(c). This decision was made after review of a completed
environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency. The information is available
to the public upon request. The City reserves the right to review any future revisions or alterations to the
site or the proposal in order to determine the environmental significance or nonsignificance of the project
at that point in time.

1. EARTH
a. General description of the site: flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous
Site is predominantly flat with a steep slope along the eastern boundary line.
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
The steepest slope on the site is approximately 40% and is located along the eastern
boundary line (see attached site plan). The proposal includes potential terraced
gardens along this slope. Terraced gardens will be built per geotechnical engineering
recommendations.
See Appendix Al for Site Plan.
c. What general types of soils are found on the site? If you know the classification of
agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime farmland.
The on -site soils are mapped as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, 15 to 30 percent
slopes and Alderwood material, 0 to 6 percent slopes, according to the Soil
Conservation Service, Soil Survey for the King County Area, Washington.
See Appendix A4 for the Soil Map and A5 for Soil Description.
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity?
Page 11 of the Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering report
prepared by Jason Engineering states that "there are no signs of previous slope
instability or failures."
See Appendix B for Subsurface and geotechnical Engineering Report.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed.
Indicate source of fill.
Site preparation will require grading activities for roads, building pads the
stormwater facilities. The grading areas will encompass the majority of the site. It is
anticipated that there will be approximately 2,281 cubic yards of cut and 504 cubic
yards of fill. Though it is not anticipated to be needed, the source of any fill will be
dependent on availability and pricing at the time of construction.
Page 3 of 15
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
Yes. Removal of the existing vegetation could result in erosion. Temporary erosion
control measures approved by the City of Federal Way will be utilized during
construction.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after construction?
The site is anticipated to be approximately 50% impervious when completed.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any.
As part of the construction documents, a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation
Control Plan will be prepared for approval by the City of Federal Way. Erosion
control features will be installed prior to construction and maintained until the site
has been stabilized.
1
2. AIR
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile,
odors and industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If
any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known.
1 The grading activities proposed at the site will cause dust particulate to be emitted
into the air. Vehicles and equipment used during all phases of construction can be a
potential source of emissions. When the project is complete, the site may be the
source of vehicle emissions from vehicles using the site.
b. Are there any off -site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so,
describe.
Vehicles using the surrounding street system may, at times, be a source of emissions
or odor. However, it is not anticipated that off -site sources of emissions or odor will
impact the proposed development of this site.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any.
�j Unwanted dust particulate can be controlled to a certain extent by the application of
water before and during grading activities. It is assumed that construction vehicles
used will be equipped with factory -installed mufflers and spark arresters that would
control excessive emissions. There are no measures proposed to control emissions as
a result of vehicles using the site after construction.

short-term or long-term basis? Indicate what hours noise would come from the site.
During the short-term, construction activity at the project site will vary
considerably as the construction progresses. Also, because the noise produced
on the site depends on the equipment being used, the noise would vary from day
to day. Noise levels can be expected to range from 57 to 89 dBA (based on a
construction activity noise model, described in Noise from Construction
Equipment and Operations, Buildhrg Equipment, and Home Appliances). Noise
associated with construction operations on the site will occur roughly between

City building permits.
Long-term noise impacts will result from vehicles using the site and noises
typical to a residential development.
3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any.
Noise impacts associated with the construction phases of the project will be
limited in duration. To mitigate general noise impacts during the grading phase,
measures such as using and regularly maintaining efficient mufflers and
quieting devices on all construction equipment and vehicles can be anticipated.
No measures to mitigate noise impacts during the building phase are proposed.
Construction hours will be limited to those hours specified in the City issued
permits.
No measures are proposed to mitigate long-term noise impacts once the project
is constructed.

Arents, Alderwood material, 0 to 6 percent slopes (AmB)
In many areas this soil is level, as a result of shaping during construction for urban facilities. Areas are rectangular
in shape and range from 5 acres to about 400 acres in size.
Representative profile of Arents, Alderwood material, 0 to 6 percent slopes, in an urban area, 1,300 feet west and
350 feet south of the northeast corner of Sec 23, T 25N, R 5E:
0 to 26 inches, dark -brown (IOYR 4/3) gravelly sandy loam, pale brown (IOYR 6/3) dry; massive; slightly hard,
very friable, non- sticky, nonplastic; many roots; medium acid; abrupt, smooth boundary. 23 to 29 inches
thick.
26 to 60 inches, grayish -brown (2.5Y 5/2) weakly consolidated to strongly consolidated glacial till, light brownish
gray (2.5Y 6/2) dry; common, medium, prominent mottles of yellowish brown (IOYR 5/6) moist; massive; no
roots; medium acid. Many feet thick.
The upper, very friable part of the soil extends to a depth of 20 to 40 inches and ranges from dark grayish brown
to dark yellowish brown.
Some areas are up to 30 percent included soils that are similar to this soil material, but either shallower or deeper
over the compact substratum; and some areas are 5 to 10 percent very gravelly Everett soils and sandy Indianola
soils.
This Arents, Alderwood soil is moderately well drained. Permeability in the upper, disturbed soil material is mod-
erately rapid to moderately slow, depending on its compaction during construction. The substratum is very slowly
permeable. Roots penetrate to and tend to mat on the surface of the consolidated substratum. Some roots enter the
substratum through cracks. Water moves on top of the substratum in winter. Available water capacity is low. Run-
off is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight.
This soil is used for urban development. Ca - pability unit IVe-2; woodland group 3d2.

Re: Subsurface Exploration/Geotechnical Engineering Report
Attn: Mr. Sawyer:
At your request, we have conducted a soils exploration and foundation evaluation for the above mentioned project.
The results of this investigation, and our recommendations, are to be found in the following report. We have
provided three copies for your review and distribution.
During our exploration, two test pits were advanced and soil samples submitted for laboratory testing from the
project site. The data has been carefully analyzed to determine soils bearing capacities and footing embedment
depths. The results of the exploration and analysis indicate that conventional spread and continuous wall footings
appear to be the most suitable type of foundation for the support of the proposed structures. Little variability was
encountered in comparing the soil profiles of the site. Net allowable soil pressures, embedment depth, soil
parameters, and total expected settlements have been presented for the site, later in the report.
Often, because of design and construction details that occur on a project, questions arise concerning soil conditions.
We would be pleased to continue our role as geotechnical engineers during the project. We appreciate this
opportunity to be of service to you and we look forward to working with you in the future. If you have any
questions concerning this report, the procedures used, or if we can be of any further assistance please call us at
(206) 786-8W.

Introduction:
This report presents the results of a soils exploration and foundation analysis for the proposed new construction
located at 2981218th Avenue South in Federal Way, WA. The subsurface exploration and analysis determines the
various soil profile components, the engineering characteristics of the foundation materials and provides criteria
for the design engineers and architects to prepare or verify the suitability of the foundation design. This report was
requested by Tom Sawyer. Written authorization to perform this exploration and analysis was provided by Tom
Sawyer.
Scope:
The scope of this geotechnical report and analysis included; a review of geological maps of the area, review of
geologic and related literature, a reconnaissance of the immediate site, subsurface exploration, field and laboratory
testing, and an engineering analysis and evaluation of the foundation materials to provide allowable bearing
capacity, estimates of settlement, subgrade modulus, lateral earth pressure design values, geotechnical
recommendations for site grading including site preparation, subgrade preparation, fill placement criteria,
suitability of on -site soils as structural fill, drainage and erosion control measures, as well as an evaluation of
landslide and erosion hazards at the site per the King County Critical Areas regulations.
We were not requested to provide an Environmental Site Assessment for this property. Any comments concerning
onsite conditions and/or observations, including soil appearances and odors, are provided as general information.
Information in this report is not intended to describe, quantify or evaluate any environmental concern or situation.
General:
The exploration and analysis of the foundation conditions reported herein are considered sufficient in detail and
scope to form a reasonable basis for the foundation design. Any revision in the plans for the proposed structure
from those enumerated in this report should be brought to the attention of the soils engineer so that he may
determine if changes in the foundation recommendations are required. If deviations from the noted subsurface
conditions are encountered during construction, they should also be brought to the attention of the soils engineer.
The soils engineer warrants that the findings, recommendations, specifications, or professional advice contained
herein, have been promulgated after being prepared according to generally accepted professional engineering
practice in the fields of foundation engineering, soil mechanics and engineering geology. No other warranties are
implied or expressed.
This investigative report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Tom Sawyer and retained design consultants
thereof. Findings and recommendations within this report are for specific application to the proposed project. All
recommendations are in accordance with generally accepted soils and foundation engineering practices.

Site Exploration Procedures
General Notes:
The field exploration to determine the engineering characteristics of the foundation materials included a
reconnaissance of the project site, excavating the test pits, performing field penetrometer and vane shear tests and
recovering disturbed grab samples. A total of two test pits were placed an the site, Test pits were advanced to 6 to
10 feet below the existing ground surface. Test pits were located by the Field crew near as possible to the proposed
building location. Sadler and Bernard Surveyors supplied a site plan to locate the proposed building orientation
and position the excavations. The test pits were located by the field technician by means of normal taping and
pacing procedures and are presumed to be accurate to within a few feet. After completion, the pits were backfilied
with excavated soils and the site cleaned and leveled as required.
The types of foundation materials encountered in the test pits have been visually classified and described in detail
on the logs provided in the Appendix. The results of the field penetrometer and vane shear tests, moisture contents
and other laboratory tests are presented on the logs. It is recommended that the logs not to be used for estimating
quantities due to highly interpretive results.
Drilling & Sampling Procedures:
The test pits were performed with a conventional track excavator. Representative samples were obtained from the
pits at various soil intervals. The samples obtained by this procedure were classified in the field by a soils
technician, identified according to pit number and depth, placed in plastic bags to protect against moisture loss and
transported to the laboratory for additional testing.
Laboratory Testing Program:
Along with the field investigation, a supplemental laboratory besting program was conducted to determine
additional pertinent engineering characteristics of the foundation materials necessary in analyzing the behavior of
the proposed building structure. The laboratory testing program included supplementary visual classification and
water content determinations on all samples. In addition, selected samples were subjected to Moisture Content
Analysis - D4959, and Grain Size Analysis - ASTM designation C-117, C-136. All phases of the laboratory testing
program were conducted according to applicable ASTM Specifications and the results of these tests are to be found
on the accompanying logs located in the Appendix.

Site Information
Project Description
The purpose of this section is to enumerate details of the proposed structure. The following information was
provided by the project owner. The lot is to be sub divided in to three lots for new construction. The buildings will
be wood framed, single family residence structures. No basements are planned. Conventional spread footings and
slab -on -grade floors are contemplated. The farthest lot to the east may be best suited to a daylight basement type
structure in order to maximize the usable area of the lot. Differential settlements are limited to 3/4 inch. The site of
the proposed building addition upon which this soils exploration has been made is located at 29812 18th Avenue
South in Federal Way, WA. There is an existing house on the lot that will be removed.
The site topography consists of mostly flat ground area on the west and middle portions of the site with a slight
slope on the east side of the lot. This eastern slope was measured at 17%. The site drainage consists of city
maintained storm drainage and sanitary sewer. The site vegetation is mostly grass, small shrubs and blackberry
bushes in the west and middle portions. There are a few trees in the middle and eastern portions of the lot, mostly
conifers with a few maples. Prior grading has not occurred
Geology of Area: (AmB) Alderuwood
The geology of the site and surrounding area as taken from the USDA Soil Conservation Service Survey consists of
Arents, Alderwood material, 0 to 6 percent slopes (AmB). Soil is dark brown to pale brown, gravelly sandy loam.
The upper, very Friable part of the soil extends to a depth of 20 to 40 inches and is non -plastic, non sticky and
contains roots. Below this layer is weakly consolidated to strongly consolidated glacial till. The till is light
brownish gray, no roots, many feet thick. The Arents, Alderwood soil is moderately well drained. Permeability in
the upper, disturbed soil is moderately rapid to moderately slow, depending on its compaction during construction.
The substratum is very slowly permeable. Roots tend to penetrate to and mat on the surface of the consolidated
stratum. Water moves on top of the stratum in winter. Available water capacity is low. Runoff is slow, and the
erosion hazard is slight.
Climate of Area:
The climate of the site and surrounding area as taken from the USDA Soil Conservation Service Survey consists of
annual precipitation from 35 to 60 inches, most of which is rainfall, between October and May. The mean annual air
temperature is about 50 degrees F. The frost free season is 150 to 200 days. Elevation ranges from 100 to 800 feet.
Description of Foundation Materials:
J The soil profiles encountered were relatively consistent among the
two pits and are typical of what is expected in the area. The
literature found in the Soil Conservation Surveys is consistent with
the material found on site. It is to be noted that, whereas the test pits
,j were placed and sampled by an experienced technician, it is
sometimes difficult to record changes in stratification within narrow
limits. In the absence of foreign substances, it is also difficult to
distinguish between discolored soils and clean soil fills. It is
recommended that the logs not to be used for estimating quantities
due to highly interpretive results.
The surface of the proposed construction site is covered with 6 to 12
inches of topsoil that should be removed prior to the start of any construction due to the high compressibility of

these soils. Strongly consolidated glacial till layers were encountered beneath the existing topsoil and extended to
depths beyond the scope of this investigation. Lines of demarcation represent the approximate boundary between
the soil types, but the transition may be gradual. The top layer of the soils ranged from 2 to 4 feet in depth and
consisted of brown silty sand with gravel. There were many roots in this layer. Some areas exhibited orange stains
and slight mottling. The second layer was strongly consolidated glacial till. It was grayish brown and very dense.
Two other test pits were excavated on the adjacent lot. All pits are in agreement with expected soil types and were
similar in content.
Mottled soil indicates seasonal soil saturation (alternate oxidizing and reducing conditions). In other words, water
flows through this layer periodically creating a saturated soil condition at times and at other times the soil may be
- dry. This can create a soft, saturated yard area, problems for basements and septic fields, and poor aeration for
landscape plantings. A soil "mottled" in the top 18 inches of its profile has both oxidized (rust -colored) iron and
reduced (gray -colored) iron present. The gray (reduced) iron suggests prolonged water-logged conditions.
Implementation of a perimeter footing drains should alleviate many difficulties associated with these soil
conditions.
Geoseismic Setting:
This project site is located within a "Zone 3 Area" per the 1997 edition of the Uniform Building Code, classified as
type Sc per the 1997 U.B.C. Table 16-J. Per the 2000 International Building Code (I.B.C.) these soils are a Site Class
C, from Table 1615.1.1. All building structures on this project should be designed per the Code Requirements for
such a seismic classification. These types of soils have a shear wave velocity in the range of 1,200 to 2,500 ft/sec
1 and an undrained shear strength greater than 2000 psf with blow counts greater than 50 blows per foot. The
following may be used for the seismic coefficients.

Liquefaction is when saturated, cohesionless soils are temporarily tamed in to a liquid state usually from a seismic
event. If ground motion lasts for extended amounts of time, the grain to grain contact shifts and the grain structure
can collapse. If the water within the soil cannot flow easily between the grain and out of a collapsing area, the
water pressure increases. When pore pressures build up within the soil and exceed the effective contact pressure of
the soil, the water can push the soil particles apart. When the particles lose contact with each other, the soil mass
can behave like a liquid. If pore pressures are great enough, water may discharge out of the ground like a geyser
leaving characteristic signs, such as sand boils. Liquefaction is generally related to; soil characteristics, water table
depths and the degree of seismic activity. The results are lower bearing capacities, increased settlement issues,
landslides, and lateral spreading to name a few things. Liquefaction potential for this site is provided within the
` boundaries of the site. Seismic events which affect land masses on a greater scale are beyond the scope of this
J report.

In our review we found no evidence of liquefaction of the soils in the immediate area from the 1949,1965 and 2001
earthquakes. The Liquefaction Susceptibility Map of King County Washington provided by the Department of
natural Resources classifies the area as LOW to VERY LOW. We therefore consider the site to have a LOW
susceptibility to liquefaction and have used this information within our design recommendations.

Foundation Discussion & Recommendations
General Notes:
Various foundation types have been considered for the support of the proposed building structure. Two
requirements must be fulfilled in the design of foundations. First, the load must be less than the ultimate bearing
capacity of the foundation soils to maintain stability; and secondly, the differential settlement must not exceed an
amount that will produce adverse behavior of the superstructure. The allowable settlement is usually exceeded
before bearing capacity considerations become important; thus, the allowable bearing pressure is normally
controlled by settlement considerations.
Considering the subsurface conditions and the proposed construction, it is recommended that the structure be
founded upon conventional spread and continuous wall footing foundations. Settlements should not exceed
tolerable limits if the following design and construction recommendations are observed.
Foundation Design Recommendations:
On the basis of the data obtained from the site and the test results from the various laboratory tests performed, we
recommend that the following guidelines be used for the net allowable soils bearing capacity.
All footings are to be excavated to native undisturbed glacial till soils. Footings are required to be a
minimum of 18 inches below grade for freeze thaw purposes. After excavation, compact any loose surface
soils with a jumping jack compactor. These soils shall be verified by the soils engineer after excavation.
?V Confirm bearing capacity of the native soils and that all soft spots have been removed and replaced with
suitable fill material and compacted to least 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D-
1557.
t* Continuous wall footings should be a minimum of 16 inches in width and any slab for the proposed building
should be suitably reinforced and connected to the footings so as to limit the effects of differential settlement
and to provide some degree of uniform settlement ability for the building should the site undergo
liquefaction during a major seismic event.

Engineering & Retaining Structures Project: 298121811` Ave. So,
Consulting Foundations Sawyer
A01T= Business, Inc. Pavement Design & Analysis File #: 05001-110
The footings should be proportioned to meet the stated bearing capacity and/or the International Building Code
2003 minimum requirements. Total settlement should be limited to 1 inch total with differential settlement of 3/4
inch. Any excessively loose or soft spots or areas that do not meet the compaction requirements that are
encountered in the footing subgrade will require over -excavation and backfilling with at least 1 foot of structural
fill. In order to minimize the effects of any slight differential movement that may occur due to variations in the
characters of the supporting soils and any variations in seasonal moisture contents, it is recommended that all
continuous footings be suitably reinforced to make them as rigid as possible.
Structural Fill:
Structural fill should consist of a 3 inch minus select, clean, granular soil with no more than 5% fines (4200).
Suitable structural fill should consist of material that meets one of the following specifications, WSDOT Section 9-
03.10 Aggregate for Gravel Base, WSDOT Section 9-03.14(1) Gravel Borrow, WSDOT Section 9-03.14(2) Select
Borrow, WSDOT Section 9-03.9(3) Crushed Surfacing (Base Course Specs), WSDOT Section 9-03.9(3) Crushed
Surfacing (Top Course Specs), APWA Class A Pit Run, or APWA class B Pit Run. Material that does not meet one
of the specifications should be submitted with sieve analysis results for approval prior to placement.
The fill should be placed in lifts not to exceed 12 inches in loose thickness. Each layer of structural fill should be
compacted to a minimum density of 95 % of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM designation D-1557.
For structural fill below footings, the area of the compacted backfill must extend outside the perimeter of the
foundation for a distance at least equal to the thickness of the fill between the bottom of the foundation and the
underlying soils, If it is elected to utilize a compacted backfill for the support of foundations, the subgrade
preparation and the placing of the backfill should be monitored continuously by a qualified engineer or his
representative so that the work is performed according to these recommendations.
The use of on -site soils as structural fill is acceptable. If these soils are to be used for structural fill, laboratory
samples will need to be taken for grain size analysis and moisture -density relationships.
Lateral Earth Pressures:
Lateral earth pressures are dependent upon the backfill materials and their configuration and moisture content.
Three inch minus sand and gravel mixtures that are free draining are recommended for backfilling walls greater
than four feet tall. Below grade retaining walls or walls designed for retaining earthen fills on this project may use
the following values for design. Values were obtained based on a unit weight of 130 pcf, and a phi angle of 34
degrees.

Earth Pressure

At Rest: 57 lbs./ft3
Passive: 460 lbs./ft3

Groundwater was not encountered when the field exploration was conducted. Groundwater is not expected to
cause difficulties during construction of this project. It is recommended that runoff caused by wet weather be
directed away from all open excavations. The on -site surface silty soils can be expected to become soft and pump if
subjected to excessive traffic after becoming wet during periods of bad weather. This can be avoided by
constructing temporary or permanent driveway sections should wet weather be forecast The on -site drainage
(roof drains & catch basins for pavement areas) should be collected and directed away from the property. This can
be accomplished by tight -lining the drainage to the on site city maintained storm drainage system.

Retaining walls should contain at least 12 inches of free draining material behind the wall as well as a 6 inch
perforated drainpipe at the bottom of the wall to alleviate any pressure buildup. Connect the drainpipe to the on
site storm drainage system.
Slope Stability Modeling & Analysis:
Slopes may fail by a number of mechanisms, depending on the nature of the soil involved and the arrangement of
~� natural earth materials at the site in question. slope failures occur because forces tending to cause instability exceed
those tending to resist it. Generally, the driving forces are represented by a component of soil weight down slope,
and the resisting forces are represented by the soil strength acting in the opposite direction. The factor of safety
-� (FS) of the slope is expressed as the ratio of the resisting forces or "moments" to the driving forces or "moments".
When the FS is 1 or less, the slope must fail. When the FS exceeds 1, the slope is theoretically stable. When
estimating the FS for the slopes encountered, we considered the following types of information:
1) The soil and water profiles.
2) The kinematics of the potential slope failure.
3) The strength and weight of the soil.
_ 4) The proposed slope geometry.
5) Static and seismic (dynamic) loading conditions.
The site was modeled using Geo-Slope's Slope/ W program (version 2004) and we have included profiles of the
model later in this report. A ground acceleration of 0.15g was used in both the vertical and horizontal direction for
the dynamic loading conditions. We have calculated various scenarios and have found that the site shows no
indications of any deep seated instability of the slope under either static or dynamic loading. The minimum safety
factors in both static and dynamic conditions exceed the minimum standards to be considered a stable slope. Over
time, there may be small surface failures on the slope due to heavy rainfall and loose topsoil.
We do not anticipate that the proposed residential structure and construction of the project will have any off -site
impacts. The site is stable enough to support the proposed residential construction within the recommendations
made herein. There were no signs of previous slope instability or failures.

Construction Considerations
Earthwork
Excessively organic top soils generally undergo high volume changes when subjected to loads. This is detrimental
to the behavior of pavements, floor slabs, structural fills and foundations placed upon them. It is recommended
that excessively organic top soils be stripped from these areas to depths of 6-12 inches and wasted or stockpiled for
later use. Exact depths of stripping should be adjusted in the field to assure that the entire root zone is removed. It
is recommended that the final exposed subgrade be inspected by a representative of the soils engineer. This
inspection should verify that all organic material has been removed. Any soft spots or deflecting areas should be
removed to sound bearing and replaced with structural fill.
Once the existing soils are excavated to the design grade, proper control of the subgrade conditions (i.e., moisture
content) and the placement & compaction of new fill (if required) should be maintained by a representative of the
soils engineer. The recommendations for structural fill presented within this report, can be utilized to minimize the
volume changes and differential settlements that are detrimental to the behavior of footings, and floor slabs.
Enough density tests should be taken to monitor proper compaction. For structural fill beneath building structures
one in -place density test per lift for every 1,000 ftz is recommended. In parking and driveway areas this can be
increased to two tests per lift for every 1,000 ft2.
Excavation equipment may disturb the bearing soils and loose pockets can occur at bearing levels that were not
disclosed by the test pits. For this reason, it is recommended that the bottoms of the excavations be compacted in -
place by vibratory compactors. The upper 12 inches should be recompacted to achieve an in -place density of not
less than 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D-1557.
Excavations:
Shallow excavations required for construction of foundations that do not exceed four feet in depth may be
constructed with side slopes approaching vertical. Below this depth it is recommended that slopes not exceed one
vertical to one horizontal. For deep excavations, the soils present cannot be expected to remain in position. These
materials can be expected to fail, and collapse into any excavation thereby undermining the upper soils materials.
This is especially true when working at depths near the water table. Proper care must be taken to protect personnel
and equipment.
Care must be taken so that all excavations made for the foundations are properly backfilled with suitable material
compacted according to the procedures outlined in this report Before the backfill is placed, all water and loose
debris should be removed from these excavations.
This information is provided for planning purposes. It is our opinion that maintaining safe working conditions is
the responsibility of the contractor. Jobsite conditions such as soil moisture content, weather condition, earth
movements and equipment type and operation can all affect slope stability. All excavations should be sloped or
braced as required by applicable local, state and federal requirements.
Floor Slab -On -Grade. -
Before the placing of concrete floors or pavements on the site, or before any floor supporting fill is placed, the
organic, loose or obviously compressive materials must be removed. The subgrade should then be verified by the
geotechnical engineer or his representative that all soft or deflecting areas have been removed. Areas of excessive
yielding should be excavated and backfilled with structural fill.

Consulting Foundations Sawyer
Business, Inc. Pavement Design & Analysis File #: 05001-110
Any additional fill used to increase the elevation of the floor slab should meet the requirement for structural fill.
Structural fill should be placed in layers of not more than 12 inches in thickness, at moisture contents at or above
optimum, and compacted to a minimum density of 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM
designation D-1557.
A granular mat should be provided below the floor slabs. This should be a minimum of four inches in thickness
and properly compacted. The mat should consist of sand or a sand and gravel mixture with non -plastic fines. All
material should pass a 3/4 inch sieve and contain less than 10% passing the #200 sieve. Groundwater can be
expected at shallower depths during the winter months. A moisture barrier, such as visqueen or plastic sheeting,
should be placed beneath all floor slabs.
Conclusion
When the plans and specifications are complete, or if significant changes are made in the character or location of
the proposed structures, a consultation should be arranged to review them regarding the prevailing soil conditions.
Then, it may be necessary to submit supplementary recommendations.
It is recommended that the services of our firm be engaged to test and evaluate the soil conditions during the
construction phase of the project The design values and recommendations made herein are valid only insomuch
as they are followed during the construction phase. Additionally, monitoring and testing during the construction
phase needs be performed to verify the subgrade conditions and that suitable materials are used and that they are
properly placed and compacted.
While the recommendations made herein are considered sufficient in detail for the construction of the proposed
project, there are many alternative methods of construction which are available. We can discuss various other
options for construction at your request.

The lowest factor of safety was 2.06 in the analysis. The potential slippage was barely visible on the surface of the slope and
only in the upper layers. Some surface raveling is to be expected but there are no indications of any deep seated instability.

The lowest factor of safety was 1.31 in the analysis. The potential slippage was barely visible on the surface of the slope. The
factor of safety shown above is 1.79 with minimum slippage still slightly visible and only in the upper layers. Some surface
raveling is to be expected but there are no indications of any deep seated instability.
