NOTICE OF APPEAL
RE: 35620 Pacific Coast Highway, File # 18-100666-00-AD
Parcel Numbers: 292104-9052, 292104-9099, 292104-9106
Owner: Maurine Karl Estate
Estate Executor and Applicant: Lynn Kelly
Estate Counsel: Alexis Singletary, Attorney at Law
Consultant: Kevin C. Nortness
The applicant is in receipt of a letter dated August 9, 2010 [attached] from Becky Chapin,
a Federal Way Senior Planner, addressed to Kevin C. Nortness, a land use, municipal law and
litigation consultant, and concerning the above -referenced property. Thus, a responsible officer
for the City of Federal Way has stated a City decision affecting pending applications, and a
reasonable assumption is made that Ms. Chapin's letter constituted the final decision of an
administrative official. As Federal Way Revised Code requires the filing of appeal to City
decisions within 14 days of the date of such written communications, this Notice Of Appeal is
herewith submitted prior to 5 p.m., August 23, 2018.
The City, via Ms. Chapin, has stated that a qualified wetlands report prepared by an
expert on behalf of the applicant and property owner — specifically, a Wetland Report dated
December 16, 2017 as prepared by AJ Bredberg, B&A, Inc. -- was received and reviewed by the
City, and that a subsequent site visit was conducted by a consultant tasked by the City [and as
noted, requested by the applicant] as such — specifically, Perteet Inc., as documented in a memo
from Perteet and directed to Ms. Chapin, dated July 30, 2018. The City's consultant thus had
issued a report. The City then stated its' concurrence with that report, without noted exception or
qualification.
Responsive to Ms. Chapin's letter, Kevin C. Nortness, acting on behalf of the applicant
and directed thereby, wrote a letter dated August 16, 2018, and addressed to Ms. Chapin for the
City. Ms. Chapin responded with an email dated August 17, 2018, within which email the sender
noted that the City had received the August 16 letter, and would be providing an answer.

The applicant submitted a request for third party review of the Wetland Report (as
provided to the City by the applicant) to Perteet Inc. The City stated as follows in its' August 9,
2018 letter to the applicant:
"Perteet prepared a technical memorandum.... in which they do not concur with the
boundary of the functional (effective) wetland buffer ... The City concurs with Perteet's review."
"All site plans for future development must depict the permanently altered wetland buffer
as established by Perteet."
At page 2, subsection 1) of their July 30, 2018 memorandum, Perteet Inc. advised the
City that:
"Perteet also completed a reconnaissance and determination (but not delineation) of
Wetland X. Wetland X was found to have positive wetland indicators....Perteet scored Wetland
X as a Category III with a Habitat Score of 5. Pursuant to FWRC 19.145.420(2) Wetland X
requires a 105 foot standard buffer."
2 NOTICE OF APPEAL, Maurine Karl Estate, August 23, 2018
NORTNESS CONSULTING 2018
The Applicant asserts that Perteet's findings and conclusions, and the City's concurrence
therewith, as reflected in the July 30, 2018 memorandum, and exclusively with reference to
Wetland X, are erroneous.
The Applicant on appeal will submit evidence and testimony to support the following:
1) Wetland X is approximately 2,417 sq. ft. in size. It is thus a small (and isolated)
wetland which lacks certain specified wetland characteristics, if it is a regulated
and/or jurisdictional wetland.
2) Such a wetland is generally rated as a Category 4 wetland, and not a Category 3.
3) A Category 4 wetland in Federal Way would require a 40 ft. buffer.
4) The site would not be encumbered by a 40 ft. buffer.
5) There is no historic data confirming Wetland X as a wetland, soils therein do not meet
wetlands or hydric soil criteria, and we differ with Perteet's findings as to hydrology
indicators.
6) The area designated Wetland X may have been affected by the dumping of
stormwater as the result of road construction.
The applicant proposes to present testimony and evidence in support of his/her appeal,
and to contradict Perteet's findings as noted above with specificity. The appeal will incorporate
the report dated December 16, 2017 prepared by B&A, Inc., and submitted to the City, and all
information, representations and recommendations contained therein, in addition to the Perteet
report, and all communications between the Applicant and the City via their respective
designated representatives. Appropriate and applicable manuals and data will also be utilized.
Discovery may include internal communications to be requested from the City. It is the
applicant's intention to demonstrate with evidence, in open hearing, that the City is in error as
asserted with this writing. The applicant seeks a reversal of the City's decision. The Applicant
has, prior to the submittal of this Notice of Appeal, asked the City to consider a compromise
resolution. No answer or proposal has been received as of August 20, 2018.
The applicant expressly does not waive any rights under Federal Way Revised Code or
any other law or authority.
Respectfully,
kcn

Jim Ferrell, Mayor
On January 17, 2018, the City of Federal Way received your request for third party review of the Wetland
Report for parcel numbers 292104-9052, -9099, and -9106 (dated December 16, 2017) prepared by AJ
Bredberg, B&A Inc. Per the report, it was concluded the site has a permanently altered buffer pursuant to
Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.145.440(4).
WETLAND REPORT
The City forwarded your request to our wetland consultant, Perteet Inc., for their review. Perteet
completed two site visits and reviewed relevant documents. Perteet prepared a technical memorandum
(dated July 30, 2018) in which they do not concur with the boundary of the functional (effective) wetland
buffer. Perteet conceptually mapped their interpretation of the functional buffer occurring in the subject
property. The City concurs with Perteet's review.
NEXT STEPS
Please review the findings in the enclosed letter prepared by Perteet. All site plans for future development
must depict the permanently altered wetland buffer as established by Perteet. Any proposed intrusion into
the wetland will require a revised wetland report and review pursuant to FWRC 19.145.440. The revised
report will be peer reviewed at the applicant's expense in accordance with FWRC 19.145.080(3).
Should you have any questions about this letter or your property, I can be reached at 253-835-2641 or

Re City of Federal Way Karl Family Trust Wetland Review, File No.18-100666-00-AD
SUMMARY
Perteet Inc. conducted a critical areas review of a submitted wetland study to consider the extent of functional
wetland buffers for the site of an existing motel located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Pacific
Highway S and 356th St., occurring at 37600 Pacific Highway South, Federal Way, Washington. An older motel
and other outbuildings were observed on the site along with a gravel parking area and driveway and with
salvaged equipment and other stored items surrounding the buildings and occurring south and east of the
existing gravel areas. The property is zoned CE - Commercial Enterprise and includes tax parcels: #2921049099,
#2921049052, and #2921049106. The site is situated at the south end of the City of Federal Way in NE Section
29, Township 21 North, Range 4 East.
A stream identified as the East Fork of Hylebos Creek (Type F) flows through City Parcel 2921049006 to the east
and south of the subject property. A wetland identified as Wetland A is associated with Hylebos Creek occurs to
the east and south of the subject property. A smaller wetland identified as Wetland X occurs to the south and
west of the subject property. Our findings related to the determination, delineation, mapping, and ratings of these
wetlands are stated further in this memo.
The applicant is proposing to utilize a provision in the Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) to determine the
extent of functional wetland buffers that extend into the subject property. That code provision (FWRC
19.145.440(4)) is as follows:
(4) Permanently altered buffer. The director may provide written approval for a buffer reduction when existing
conditions are such that portions of the required buffer exist in o permanently alteredstate (e.g., roadways,
paved parking lots, and permanent structures) and do not provide any buffer function. The buffer maybe
reduced up to the area where the altered conditions exist.
The review of specific site features that may constitute a permanently alteredstate is subject to further City
consideration. Specific efforts under this review were focused on the buffer function requirement in this code
section to evaluate if and where the buffers do notprovide any buffer function. No redevelopment is proposed
at this time, but it is understood that the result of this request would potentially influence future site
development actions on the subject property.
Perteet ecological staff completed a site visit and critical areas review of the subject property and a review of the
proposed request with an initial site meeting onjuly 11, 2017, and with a follow-up technical evaluation of
wetland indicators and ratings onjuly 19, 2018. A review of readily available best available science guidance
literature related to wetland buffer functions was also conducted. In consideration of the reviewed information,
Perteet has conceptually mapped our interpretation of the functional buffers occurring in the subject property in
consideration of observed site characteristics, provided information, and related findings.

FINDINGS
1) Perteet completed a reconnaissance and comparative rating of Wetland A that occurs east and south of
the subject property and north of S 359" St. Perteet scored Wetland A as a Category II with a Habitat
Score of 6. Pursuant to FWRC 19.145.420(2) Wetland A requires a 165 foot standard buffer. Perteet also
completed a reconnaissance and determination (but not delineation) of Wetland X. Wetland X was
found to have positive wetland indicators (wetland data form attached). Perteet scored Wetland X as a
Category III with a Habitat Score of 5. Pursuant to FWRC 19.145.420(2) Wetland X requires a 105 foot
standard buffer. The report or wetland maps provided by the applicant do not state the survey date or
mapping methods and the report indicates that survey of recently delineated boundaries has not yet
occurred. Wetland A along the eastern perimeter of the subject property was understood to be recently
delineated in the field by the applicant and occurs along and near the toe of the historic fill slope for the
site; this boundary was observed. Wetland X was also mapped on applicant information and it was
discussed with the consultant for the applicant that this feature was mapped from a prior City
delineation. Wetland boundaries would need to be surveyed and mapped for any future development
applications.

2) Hylebos Creek (Type F) would require a standard buffer of 100 feet pursuant to FWRC 19.145.270.
3) The consideration of areas of the developed site that may not provide pny buffer function pursuant to
FWRC 19.145.440(4) was evaluated by first considering the basis of buffer functions in Ecology
guidance literature. The site has an active use, a gravel parking area, and structures inclusive of buildings
as well as other equipment and materials stored east and south of the outer gravel access driveway that
circles around the site buildings to the south and east. Outside of the gravel access driveway, vegetation
conditions were observed to include areas of mowed or infrequently mowed vegetation within and
between the stored equipment areas and existing trees with canopy coverage extending over much of the
equipment storage areas and partially over the gravel driveway. Pursuant to reviewed guidance
regarding buffer functions, there can be numerous factors in the built environment that can constitute
common disturbances within buffers and within other critical areas. Regular wetland disturbance
characteristics are described in the Ecology Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western
Washington, Ecology Publication #14-06-029, and include: residential and urban development, grazing,
paved roads or frequently used gravel roads, mowing, and pets. In the consideration of disturbances to
specific to ecological function, disturbances can have variable limitations on site processes, which are
defined by Ecology Publication #05-06-006 as environmental factors that occur within the wetland itself
or within its buffer. The interactions of site processes with landscape processes define how a wetland
functions. Pursuant to Ecology Publication #05-06-008, generally, any use that results in the creation of
impervious areas, clearing of vegetation, or compaction of soils will be incompatible with buffer
functions. Buffer functions are primarily associated with two parameters to protect a wetland, 1) water
quality, and 2) habitat. For water quality protection, a buffer's effectiveness at improving water quality is
largely a factor of how polluted water travels across and through the buffer. In urban areas, the
pollutants of concern are primarily sediments and metals from roads, parking lots, and construction sites.
For wildlife habitat, the two primary disturbances to wildlife habitat can be 1) connectivity to other
habitat areas, and 2) the intensity of intrusion of noise, light, people, and pets. The vegetation condition
of a wetland buffer is also an important characteristic for bird habitat. Ecology Publication #05-06-006
states that trees and shrubs provide screening for birds, as well as providing additional habitat in the
buffer itself (Johnson and Jones 1977, Milligan 1985). And in summary of publication #05-06-006,
functions provided by buffers generally include: removing sediment, removing excess nutrients
(phosphorous and nitrogen), removing toxics (bacteria, metals, pesticides), influencing the microclimate,
maintaining adjacent habitat critical for the life needs of many species that use wetlands, screening
adjacent disturbances (noise, light, etc.) and maintaining habitat connectivity. Tree canopy is an
important aspect of microclimate which is most important to riparian habitat (the interface between land
and a river or stream). Tree canopy also provides water quality function through interception of
precipitation that would otherwise generate site runoff.
4) The areas of buffer within the subject property that were considered to be so functionally impaired to not
provide any buffer functions are the site areas with permanent buildings and the limit (edge) of the
frequently used gravel driveway that occurs outside of tree canopy along the buffer. While buffer
functions are also intermittently disturbed outside (south and east) of the gravel access driveway, these
areas include some herbaceous, shrub, and canopy vegetation with disturbed functions but do not meet
the code criterion to not provide �gny buffer function.
5) For illustration, a roughly approximated mapping of our findings of the effective buffer area is provided
on the attached map and includes the applicant's submitted wetland mapping. This map should not be

used for development applications. For future development considerations the existing limits of the gravel
driveway and tree canopy should be surveyed by the applicant along with the associated delineated and
surveyed wetland boundaries adjacent to the subject property (on City property) and inclusive of the
standard buffers for consideration of the buffer reduction allowance under FWRC 19.145.440(4) for
buffers to stop at either the actively used and paved driveway edge (if the City determines gravel
pavement to be a permanent/y a/teredstate)and at the edge of tree canopy along the buffer. Any future
development should also be evaluated for increased disturbances related to the use intensity adjacent to
the buffer. Buffers can be substantially enhanced on the subject property to potentially remove stored
equipment, uncompact existing soils, and to substantially enhance the existing vegetation in the buffer
areas to increase and restore buffer functions.
