The pedesft hail still proposed to extend through this portion of the Wetland `A' buffer. Enhanced Bu er — Sewall's wetland buffer mitigation planting plan shows that the 18,026 square feet buffer enhancement area is to be planted in native vegetation, including Douglas fir, Big leaf maple, Western Red Cedar and Vine maple trees, and a variety of native shrubs including Red Currant, Indian plum, Salmonberry, and Nootka Rose. Mulch is to be provided in all planting areas. As part of the buffer enhancement invasive non-native Himalayan blackberry and Scotch Broom wall be cleared from the enhancement planting areas as well as from those portions of property outside of the reduced wetland buffer (see section b below). A split raiI fence is intended to sepaarate the proposed pedestrian trail and the wetland buffer enhancement planting areas. According to the Sewall report, the proposed enhancement planting will increase the overall quality of the wetland and wetland buffer habitat through removal of non-native invasive species and installation of native vegetation in the buffer. There will also be increased opportunities for wildlife foraging and nesting with the installation of snags and large woody debris. This further improves the shelter and habitat functions of the wetland and buffer. The enhanced buffer will also provide improved water quality to stormwater runoff from the site before it enters the stormwater system Open rail fencing will discourage Duman intrusion into the mitigation area, while providing access for wildlife into the improved habitat. Crrette reviewed the revised wetland buffer planting plan and in a technical memorandum dated June 22, 2009, concurred with proposed plan revisions. Although the wetland buffer reduction proposal has been revised to include only those parcels associated with St. Luke's Lutheran Church, the initial Sewall plans that depicted wetland buffer property also met code reduction and buffer enhancement on the New Hope Christian Church requirements for wetland buffer reduction and buffer enhancement; especially as non-native invasive species also impact wetland `A' on the New Hope property. A b�'er reduction and mitigation concept on both properties is supported by staff in that contiguous treatment and removal of invasive materials along the length of a threatened wetland assists in the overall success of the buffer restoration program In the event that the New Hope Christian Church opts to participate in the wetland buffer reduction and mitigation program, the Project Approval can be modified to incorporate this area into the buffer reduction and mitigation phuL 1VIiti anon Plantin Plum — Sewall's Mitigation Planting Plata for St Luke' Lutheran Church dated March 2009, contains the planting list, plant details, wetland sign details and rail fence details for the reduced wetland buffer. Page W3 of the plan details mitigation concepts and goals, with specific construction and planting notes, maintenance and monitoring program requirements. Watering requirements notes in section 4.3.3 state that while watering is not needed for plantings installed between October and March IS, irrigation will continue through October 1st, or between June I" and October V for any subsequent year. Removal of blackberry varieties and Scotch Broom is to be on- going, and monitoring by a qualified wetland biologist is to be performed ten times over a five year period. In order to confirm that the applicant has obtained the services of a qualified wetland biologist to perform the project monitoring, prior to commencement of any work in the wetland buffer, the applicant shall submit to the city copies of contracts with a qualified wetland biologist signed by both parties.

Construction activities, e.g., site preparation work, will contribute only to a short-term increase in local suspended particulate levels,as this activity contributes to carbon monoxide levels through the 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, into the ambient air. Compliance with local, state, and federal air duality standards provides sufficient mitigation of these potential impacts.

Our church provides much -needed and highly regarded services such as daycare and preschool, space for community meetings and musical and theatrical Performances, social services such as on -site counseling, a food and clothing bank, as well as its weekly church services and Sunday school Since St. Luke's is growing in church attendance and in demand for community related functions, we again fmd a need to expand our facilities. In good faith, we purchased existing undeveloped property adjacent to our current church building, to provide space for building expansion, play areas, stone water detention ponds, parking, and access drives_ The Problem We are acutely aware of the impact of an existing wetland that runs through this property. Based on the current sensitive area ordinance, with its 50'buffer from the wetland, much of the property we last purchased to tie everything together is unusable. The Pre -Application Process helped us greatly in this process. We have an agreement with the new Hope Christian Fellowship, owners of parcel 082104-9039 to treat the problem as one issue under our permit. The flagging and grades have been completed and are included in the attached exhibits. 1 foder Process III, we respectfully request a modification to the critical area requirements to allow the 50' buffer to be reduced to 25' and relocate the three section holding which the current buildings sit, based on the attached criticalroeportlocated £room Sewall Wetland Consulting, Inc. It is our intent that our plan will not adversely impact or modify any abutting properties current condition other than the upgrading on Parcel 082104-9039. We would propose to mitigate the bul£er reduction by restoring/enhancing the currently highly degraded bufferto a functional buffer, by removing non-native invasive species and installing native tree and shrub plantings_ A monitoring program will be put into place to ensure success of the mitigation area. RESUBMITTED JUN 1 12009 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY BUILDING DEPT. This would allow the church to provide parking closer to the main buildings and therefore minim...parking overflow onto the street It would also substantially increase the useable land for what we consider io be purposes to the entire community. Achieving our Objectives The church is about to embark on an exciting building expansion pmjeck The lust phase will provide additional classrooms, Offices, circulation and seating on the northwest comer of the present site. We are cantering the linaI sragL�$ leading to construction plants, In the future, we plan to remove and replan; Malkaw Hall, czar aging gymnasium building, rather than spending money on upgrades and maintenance for a building that no ]anger serNw its purpose. The replacement building %vill be multipurpose Family life center that will meet the needs of the church and community much more effectively. Because the critical area regulations are undergoing changes that could impact what the church can do in the future phases of this expansion program, we are attempting to resolve the wetland butfer issue at this time. For parking it will undoubtedly be directly related to the first phase of the project. We need to think toward the future. Thanks for this partnership! At St Luke's Community of Christ, we understand that moving ahead to better serve our worshippers and city is impossible without the cooperation and support of City of Federal Way. e Thank you for your patan dthe hth in our past endeavors.

Their May 18, 2009 technical memorandum is enclosed. Grette reviewed technical information submitted in March 2009 for the environmental and Use Process III applications as well as the March 6, 2009, wetland report and proposed mitigation plans prepared by Sewell Wetland Consulting. A summary of findings begins on page 2 of the Grette memo. According to the memo, Grette agrees with the wetland categorization and delineation; they agree that the footpath meets wetland buffer.intrusion criteria; and they agree with the wetland reduction and mitigation of all areas except on parcel 082104-9127. Grette states that the existing wetland buffer conditions on parcel 082104-9127 do not meet the criteria for wetland buffer reduction under Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC), 19.175.040. They have indicated that the proposal and wetland buffer enhancement plan should be modified to eliminate those portions of the wetland that are not eligible for wetland buffer reduction. Also, Grette has been made aware that an adjacent property owner has elected to not proceed with wetland buffer reduction and enhancement on their property in conjunction with the St. Luke's project. In a May 21, 2009 e-mail, Mike Layes with Grette Associates indicated that the findings do not change with parcel #082104-9039 removed from the scope of work. At this time, please review the enclosed Grette memo and revise related plans and reports accordingly. Please provide four copies of any revised plan or report. I will forward the revisions to Grette for review and comment. Based on the extent of changes, additional funding may be required for Grette to proceed with their review. Please don't hesitate to contact me at 253-835-2642 if you have any questions about this letter.

Analysis Report, Functional Assessment, and Mitigation Plan (Report) Prepared by Sewall Wetland Consulting, Inc. dated March 6t', 2009 for the St. Luke's Lutheran Property. The property is located at 515 South 312'h Street in Federal Way, Washington (Subject Property). The Subject Property is recorded as King County Tax Parcels 0821049038, 0821049034, and 0821049127. 2.0 Review A Grette Associates biologist conducted a thorough review of the Report prepared by Sewall Wetland Consulting, Inc. The review focused on verifying the accuracy of the Report for compliance with the requirements of the Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) Chapter 19.175 Regulated Wetlands. A site assessment was conducted on May 13, 2009. The site assessment included a verification Of the flagged delineated wetland boundaries and an assessment of current conditions within the wetland buffer. The delineation verification was based on the methodology of the Washington State Department of Ecology's (Ecology} Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation tllanraal, the US Army Corps of Engineers' Wetlands Delineation Manual, and associated regional guidance letters, including Interim Regional Supplement to the Carps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual.• Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region. The Subject Property was also assessed for additional wetlands and regulated streams not identified in the Report. In addition, wetlands were categorized and assigned appropriate buffers using the classification criteria detailed in FWRC 19.175.020 Wetland categories and standard buf ers. 3.0 Findings — Site Assessment, Delineation Verification The previously delineated wetland boundaries were verified during the site assessment. At the time of the assessment, the previously delineated boundaries appeared to be accurate. The on- 2 I 02 :Nara. 3t` Sfxr;c , ,pie:. , site wetland boundary of Wetland A was clearly defined by changes in vegetation and topography. Grette Associates recommends the City accept the delineated wetland boundary as surveyed. No previously unidentified wetlands or regulated streams were observed within the Subject Property or immediate vicinity during the site assessment. 4.0 Findings — Site Assessment, Wetland Categorization During the site assessment, wetlands were categorized wer as e classification criteria detailed in FWRC 19.175.020 Wetland categories and standard e (1) Category I wetlands meet one of the following criteria: a. Contain the presence of species or documented habitat recognized by state or federal agencies as endangered, threatened o r potentially extirpated plant, fish or animal species; or b. Contain the presence of plant associations of infrequent occurrence, irreplaceable ecological ftenctions, or exceptional local significance re �d awetlands`dgraundwaterg but not mited to exchange areas, rine systems, peat bogs and fens, f significant habitat or unique educational sites; or c. Have three or more wetland classes, one of which is open water. (2) Category H wetlands are greater than 2,500 square feet in area, do not exhibit the characteristics of Category I wetlands, and meet one of the following criteria: a. Are contiguous with water bodies or tributaries to water bodies which under normal circumstances contain or support a fish population, including streams where flow is intermittent, or b. Are greater than one acre in size in its entirety; or c. Are less than or equal to one acre in size in its entirety and have two or more wetland classes, with neither class dominated by non-native invasive species. (3) Category III wetlands are greater than 2,500 square feet in area and do not exhibit those characteristics of Category I or Hwetlands. (b) Standard buffer widths for regulated wetlands are established as follows: (1) Category I wetlands shall have a standard buffer width of 200 feet. (2) Category 11 wetlands shall have a standard buffer width of I00 feet. (3) Category 11I wetlands shall have in area$ andahalbuffer have at�andard ba�erfor width of 25 feet for greater than 10,000 square feet wetlands that are between 2,500 to 10,000 square feet in area. The rating of Wetland A as Category III by Sewall Wetland Consulting, Inc. is consistent with the rating by Crrette Associates and the City's wetland inventory. Wetland A meets the criteria of a Category III wetland as it is greater than 2,500 square feet and does not meet the criteria of Category I or ll wetlands. Wetland A requires a standard 50 foot buffer as it is greater than 10,000 square feet in size. According to the Ci as Federal CateWay Zoning Atlas, Wetland A is identified as Wetland 8-21-4-314 and is documented a3':1:,. l)t" :i:i;<.l.t'....'�,"epi r 7. . . 2 5.0 Findings — Site Assessment, Existing Wetland Buffer Condition During the site assessment Grette Associates inspected the existing buffer conditions of Wetland A. Buffer areas on parcels 0821049038, 0821049039, 0821049I53, and 0821049157, were dominated by a shrub plant community of invasive species including Himalayan blackberry (Rufus discolor) and Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius). Some sparse native tree species were Present, including red alder (141nus rubra), black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesit). Evidence of past fill and current dumping of yard waste was also Observed in buffer areas within these parcels. Buffer areas within parcel 0821049127 contained a forested plant community dominated by Douglas fir, bitter cherry (Prunus emarginata), and red alder over an understory of Indian plum (Cemleria cerasiformis), salal (Gaultheria shallon), and sword fern (Polystichum munitum). Himalayan blackberry was present, but did not dominate the understory plant community. Topography in this portion of the wetland buffer also contains fairly steep slopes. 6.0 Findings — Document Review, Wetland Assessment In general, the Report accurately describes background information, methods, and results of the wetland delineation, wetland categorization, and functional assessment as specified under FWRC 19.175.010 .Determination of wetland and regulated wetland. However, the Report does not include the required information of FWRC 19.175.01 e "A list of observed plant and wildlife species, using both scientific and common names, )a d a description of their relative abundance." In addition, data sheets included with the report do not list percent cover of vegetation or indicate dominance. The City may require this information be provided in an addendum to the Report. This information is to be included in all future reports prepared for the City. 7.0 Findings — Document Review, Proposed Buffer Reduction The applicant proposes to reduce the standard 50 foot buffer of Wetland A to a 25 foot buffer through Process III, provide mitigation through buffer enhancement actions, and develop a Pervious foot trail around the perimeter of the reduced buffer. According to FWRC 19.175.040 Structures, improvements and land surface modification within regulated wetland buffers, a wetland buffer may be reduced if the following criteria are met: (5) Buffer reduction. Through process 1r1, the director of community development may reduce the standard wetland buffer width by up to 50 percent, but in no case to less than 25 feet, on a case -by -case basis, if the project includes a buffer enhancement plan which utilizes appropriate native vegetation and clearly substantiates that an enhanced buffer will improve and provide additional protection of wetland functions and values, and where one of the following conditions can be demonstrated: (a) Existing conditions are such that the required standard buffer exists in a permanently altered state (e.g., roadways, paved parking lots, per7nanent structures, etc) which does not provide any buffer fiinction, then the buffer can be reduced for that portion where the intrusions are existing (b) Except for Category I wetlands, existing conditions are such that the wetland has been permanently impacted � � an,acent alterations oorrent tF!eadominanas evidenced e of nonnatbe such things as persist iv invasive species (c) A project on an existing single-family Iot platted prior to the incorporation of the city, where imposition of the standard buffer would preclude reasonable use of the lot. The director shall have the authority to determine if buffer averaging is warranted on the subject property and, if so, may require additional buffer area on other portions of the perimeter of the sensitive area. The Report states that a buffer reduction is warranted "due to evidence of human alterations (graded fill slope at edge of wetland) and dominance of non-native species" and the buffer enhancement plan provides "a slight increase in G out of 64 possible functions of the wetland and buffer from the mitigation proposal". Crrette5 Associates riagrees 2 with Sewall �$210490 9� Consultants, Inc. for proposed buffer reduction to 2 parcels 0821049153, and 0821049157. The buffer within these parcels is dominated by Himalayan blackberry and shows clear signs of recent alteration due to human activities. The buffer enhancement plan will improve wetland functions. Grette Associates does not agree with Sewall Wetland Consultants, Inc. regarding buffer reduction on Parcel 0821049127. Existing buffer conditions do not meet the requirements for buffer reduction as the buffer in this area is dominated by a nature forested plant community and has not been recently impacted by human alterations. There are some areas of invasive blackberry in the understory, but the dominant plant layer (forest) is primarily native species. In addition, the proposed buffer enhancement plan would likely displace and disturb many of the existing native understory species within this portion of wetland lbuffer. 8.0 Findings — Document Review, Proposed Foot Path The current development proposal is the construction of a footpath around the perimeter of the proposed reduced buffer, with a small Portion of the footpath extending into the proposed reduced buffer. No direct impacts to the wetland are proposed at this time, Any direct impacts will need to be approved through Process IV and meet the criteria detailed in FWRC 19.175.030 Structures, improvements and land surface modifications within regulated wetlands. According to FWRC 19.175.040 Structures, improvements and land surface modification within regulated wetland buffers, the following minor improvements are allowed within the buffer of a wetland: (4) Minor improvements. Minor improvements such as footbridges, walkways and benches may be located within the buffer from a regulated wetland if approved through process III, based on the following criteria: 4 (a) It will not adversely affect water quality; (b) It will not adversely affect the existing quality of the wetland's or buffer's wildlife habitat; (c) It will not adversely affect drainage or stormwater retention capabilities; (d) It will not lead to unstable earth conditions nor create erosion hazards; and (e) It will not be materially detrimental to any other property in the area of the subject property nor to the city as a whole. The proposed footpath meets the five criteria for minor improvements as detailed in the Report, and is an allowable use within the wetland buffer with City approval though Process III. As such, the construction of the proposed footpath does not require a reduced buffer. 9.0 Findings — Summary Grette Associates agrees with the wetland categorization and delineated wetland as marked in the field and surveyed Grette Associates agrees that the proposed footpath will not impact wetland functions and values and is an allowable use and meets the definition of minor improvement. Grette Associates agrees with the proposed reduction of wetland buffer areas within Parcels 0821049038, 0821049039, 0821049153, and 0821049157. Grette Associates does not agree with buffer reduction within Parcel 0821049127 because of the dominance of native forested vegetation within the existing buffer. Grette Associates recommends that the buffer reduction proposal and proposed buffer enhancement be modified to only include Parcels 0821049038, 0821049039, 0821049153, and 0821049157. The review of the Report and site assessment was conducted using the best available scientific information and methodologies and the best professional judgment of Grette Associates staff biologists. Final acceptance and approval of the Report, categorization, delineations, buffer reduction, and footpath is at the discretion of City staff.

The site is zoned Residential IRS 7.2), and Church uses are permitted on the subject property under Federal Way City Code (FWCC) section 22-635. According to code regulations, upon receipt of an application the City has 28 days to determine whether all information and documentation required for a complete application pursuant to FWCC Section 22-33 has been submitted. NOTICE OF COMPLETE APPLICATION Please consider this letter as a Letter of Complete Application. Pursuant to the FWCC, the application is deemed complete as of April 2, 2009, based on a review of your submittal relative to those requirements as set out in the Development Requirements checklist. A 120-day time line for reviewing the SEPA and Process III applications has started as of this date. The City has 120 days from the date that an application is deemed complete to take action on the application. However, the 120-day time line can be stopped at any time that the City requests additional information as noted below. You will be informed of the status of the 120-day time line when you are notified in writing that additional information is needed. Having met the submittal requirements, your application is now ready for processing. Therefore, pursuant to the FWCC, a Notice of Application will be published in the Federal Way Mirror within 14 days and other public notice will be given based on City procedures. The Department of Community Development Services has responsibility to notify other agencies that may have jurisdiction over your development project or an interest in it. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUESTED The following items are based on an initial technical review of the application during completeness review. 1. Wetland Consultant Review — The wetland buffer reduction and mitigation proposal has been routed to the City's wetland consultant for a cost estimate in preparation of their review of the wetland delineation and proposed wetland buffer reduction and mitigation plan. The applicant is Mr. LaDuke April 3, 2009 Page 2 responsible for funding review by the City's wetland consultant and their estimate will be forwarded to you upon receipt. Their review will not commence until the funding has been received. In addition, additional information may be required following wetland consultant review. 2. Wetland Buffer Reduction — Under FWCC section 22-1359(e), the director may reduce the standard wetland buffer width to up to 50 percent, but in no case less than 25 feet, on a case by case basis if the project includes a buffer enhancement plan and if specific conditions are demonstrated. Proposed plans prepared by Sewell Wetland Consulting depict the Category III wetland with a 50-foot buffer, together with a reduction of the buffer to 25 feet with mitigation planting within the reduced wetland buffer. A trail is proposed at the outer edge of the reduced buffer, and the wetland and stream analysis report includes a discussion of the criteria of FWCC section 22-1359(d) for that feature. However, the trail appears to be located within the wetland buffer and wetland area on the south side of the site. Please confirm if the trail is proposed to intrude into the wetland with this application, or if the trail will be limited in scope at this time. 3. Storm Pond Relocation — The drawing depicts the storm pond being relocated out of the wetland buffer, but there is no information in the report to discuss how this would occur. Please provide additional information about the storm pond relocation. 4. Off -site Work — According to submitted plans and the SEPA checklist, some of the wetland buffer mitigation is proposed on property not owned by the Community of Christ Church. Please provide written confirmation that the property owners of these adjacent sites have approved the proposed wetland buffer mitigation (and, by reference, approve of access on their property by review staff and consultants) on their subject property. Note that a permanent easement or other legal agreement will be required in conjunction with approved actions. 5. SEPA Checklist — The environmental checklist must be revised to address the following: a The SEPA checklist must be signed. A.11 — Revise to disclose the proposed trail located in the wetland buffer, and clarify if any portion of the trail is proposed in the wetland. • B.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ACTION The applicant has requested an administrative reduction of the Category III wetland buffer from 50 feet to 25 feet with wetland buffer enhancement proposed. (Exhibit A). II. GENERAL INFORMATION Project Name: St. Luke's Community of Christ Wetland Buffer Reduction Applicant: St. Luke's Community of Christ Church Attn: Harold LaDuke 515 South 312" Street Federal Way, WA 98003 206-910-0853 Location: St. Luke's Church is located at 515 South 312t' Street, Federal Way (Exhibit B), and the Church owns King County Tax Parcel Numbers: 082104-903g, 9127, 9153, and 9157, which also contain the wetland. Only parcel #082104- 9038 is developed The wetland is also located on King County Tax Parcel 082104-9039, which is owned by New Hope Christian Church located at 31411 6'h Avenue South, who may opt to participate in the wetland buffer reduction and enhancement proposal. Parcel Size: St. Luke's parcel is 11.46 acres (499,197 square feet), while New Hope's parcel is 2.28 acres (99,316 square feet). Zoning; Residential Single -Family (RS-7.2) Comprehensive Plan Designation: Single -Family High -Density (SFHD) The following information was submitted as part of the application for wetland buffer reduction request: SEPA Checklist, March 16, 2009, and amended date May 21, 2009 Wetland Analysis Report, Functional Assessment and Mitigation Plan prepared by Sewell Wetland Consulting, Inc. March 6, 2009, with amendments on May 20, 2009 (Exhibit D) St. Luke's Lutheran Church Mitigation Plan, Planting Plan and Mitigation Notes prepared by Sewell Wetland Consulting, Inc. March 6, 2009, amended on May 20 and dune 10, 2009 (Exhibit E) III. Project History The applicant submitted an application for SEPA and Process III project approval on March 18, 2009. The application was determined complete on April 2, 2009. The initial application was submitted in partnership with the New Hope Church. This property, located south of St. Luke's, is also impacted by this wetland and New Hope wished to partake in the wetland buffer reduction process. This partnership is still under discussion, and while not finalized, is reflected within this staff report. Additional information was submitted for the project on May 21 and June 11, 2009. IV. REVIEW OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST The following lists the elements of the environmental checklist (Exhibit Q, and a response to each: 1) whether City staff concurs or does not concur with the applicant's response to the SEPA checklist item, or 2) City staffs additional comments or clarification to each checklist item A. BACKGROUND 1. The proposal is to reduce and enhance the regulated buffer associated with Wetland A. 2-3. Concur with the checklist. 4. The SEPA checklist was prepared on March 6, 2009, and revised on May 21, 2009. Communication from both St. Luke's and New Hope churches reflects ongoing discussion about a potential partnership with respect to the wetland buffer reduction and enhancement proposal, as supported by responses in the March checklist. Should New Hope not participate in the proposed wetland buffer reduction and enhancement proposal, New Hope does not have any obligation or responsibility for the proposal, nor is the grandfathered status of the development on parcel 082104-9039 called into question. 5. The City of Federal Way has requested the SEPA checklist. 6. A 14-day appeal period followed by a 14-day comment period will commence once the SEPA determination is issued. Administrative land use approval for the wetland buffer reduction would be granted under Process III following environmental review. 7.

The 1973 King County Soils Survey map lists the soils type of the majority of the site as Alderwood Sandy Gravelly Loam (AgB) with soils characterized as gravelly sandy loam, with zero to six percent slopes. d. Concur with the checklist. One portion of the subject site previously contained a residential structure that was recently removed by the Fire Department. e. A request to mow and remove invasive blackberries and Scots Broom vegetation outside of the wetland buffer in order to access the wetland buffer edge in preparation of mitigation was conditionally approved by the City in a July 8, 2009 decision. The area of mowing is generally a 30-foot-wide swath along 600 feet of western side of the wetland, or approximately 18,000 square feet. Conditions of approval include installation of erosion control in the event that ground is disturbed with removal of the invasive species. f-h. Concur with the checklist. 2. Air a-c. Construction activities, e_g., site preparation work, will contribute only to a short-term increase in local suspended particulate levels, as this activity contributes to carbon monoxide levels through the 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, into the ambient air. Compliance with local, state, and federal air quality standards provides sufficient mitigation of these potential impacts. Mitigation planting that enhances on -site vegetation will provide filtering of suspended particulates. The buffer reduction will not adversely impact air quality and no further mitigation is required. 3. Water a. L Concur with the checklist. No downstream analysis was required for the wetland buffer reduction request. According to the Wetland Analysis Report, Functional Assessment and Mitigation Plan prepared by Sewell Wetland Consulting, Inc. revised date May 20, 2009, Wetland `A' meets the criteria for a category III wetland. Category III wetlands contain 50-foot buffers per Federal Way Revised Code. Wetland A is a depressional wetland with forested and shrub vegetation communities and considered a Palustrine forested, broad -leafed deciduous Staff Evaluation for Environmental Checklist 09-101032/Dm. 1D. 50967 St. Luke's Church Wetland Buffer Reduction Page 3 seasonally flooded (PFOIC) wetland based on adopted classifications. The wetland is located on the east side of the split basin associated with the site and it drains to the south into the Hylebos Stream, which drains to Puget Sound- 2- Work proposed within the 50-foot wetland buffer includes removal of invasive species, restoration planting, and installation of a soft surface pedestrian trail. The applicant has proposed to reduce the north and west portions of the wetland buffer from 50 feet to 25 feet, and elect to include the eastern portion of the wetland buffer in the request once issues are resolved. Sewell Wetland Consulting, Inc. prepared a Wetland Analysis Report, Functional Assessment and Mitigation Plan. The report notes that the current condition of the buffer is degraded by the encroachment of dominant non-native invasive species (blackberries) and evidence of human alterations with graded fill slopes at the edge of the wetland. The Sewell wetland buffer enhancement plan proposes removal of non-native vegetation and installation of a diverse quantity of native vegetation within the reduced wetland buffer. As provided for in Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.175.040(5), the Director of Community Development Services can use Process III to administratively approve a wetland buffer reduction request only if specific criteria are met and if it is demonstrated that an enhanced buffer will improve and provide additional protection of wetland functions and values. In reviewing the Sewell wetland report, the City's wetland consultant, Grette Associates, noted that the buffer conditions of wetland A meet the eligibility criteria for buffer reduction except for that portion of wetland buffer on the southern most portion of the site, located on King County parcel #082104-9127. As this wetland buffer remains intact and is not degraded by grading, filling or invasive species, Grette recommended that it not be included in the wetland buffer reduction request. The applicant revised the scope of the wetland buffer reduction request to maintain the 50-foot wetland buffer for the wetland portion located on King County parcel #082104-9127, and continue the pedestrian trail through this portion of the wetland buffer (report dated June 10, 2009). Further analysis of the wetland buffer reduction request and proposed mitigation will be completed in conjunction with Process III review. 3-6. Concur with the checklist. b. 1-2. Concur with the checklist. C. 1-2. The current storm drainage system for the church development is located at the northern end of the wetland buffer, straddling the buffer of wetland A. The applicant proposes to relocate this pond outside of the wetland buffer. Such relocation will require additional Process III review including engineering review arid may involve potential upgrades to the storm pond. Alternatively, the pond could remain in place until reconfigured and/or relocated with future development. Further analysis will be conducted in conjunction with the Process III review. d.

WAC 197-11 %0 EnvbvnmentA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST Purpose of checkl&.- The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment The purpose of this cheddist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. Insductions for appliccaits: This environmental cheddist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply." Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions ifyou can. Ifyou have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN ADDmc)N, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). For nonproject actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively.

The property is bordered to the north by S 312� Street, to the west by 40' Avenue South, to the south by single family residence and to the east generally by 6th Avenue South and 7`� Avenue South. King Courtly I -ma SITE ti a� V nt PROM X #5R 2.0 METHODOLOGY On October 21, 2008, October 22, 2008 and again on October 27, 2008, Sewall Wetland Consulting Inc. inspected the site for jurisdictional wetlands and streams using methodology described in the Washington State Wetlands Identification Manual (WADOE, March 1997). This is the methodology currently recognized by the City of Federal Way and the State of Washington for wetland determinations and delineations. The Washington State Wetlands Identification Manual as well as the 1987 Federal Manual requires the use of the three -parameter approach in identifying and delineating wetlands. A wetland should support a predominance of hydrophytic vegetation, have hydric soils and display wetland hydrology. To be considered hydrophytic vegetation, over 50% of the dominant species in an area must have an indicator status of facultative (FAQ, facultative wetland (FACW), or obligate wetland (OBL), according to the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: Northwest (Region 9) (Reed, 1988). A hydric soil is "a soil that is saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during Re: St. Luke's Property SWC Job #A8-226 May 20, 2009 Revised June 10, 2009 Page 3 of 9 the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part." Anaerobic conditions are indicated in the field by soils with low chromas (2 or less), as determined by using the Munsell Soil Color Charts; iron oxide mottles; hydrogen sulfide odor and other indicators. Generally, wetland hydrology is defined by inundation or saturation to the surface for a consecutive period of 12.5% or greater of the growing season. Areas that contain indicators of wetland hydrology between 5%-12.5% of the growing season may or may not be wetlands depending upon other indicators. Field indicators include visual observation of soil inundation, saturation, oxidized rhizospheres, water marks on trees or other fined objects, drift lines, etc. Under normal circumstances, indicators of all three parameters will be present in wetland areas. 3.0 OBSERVATIONS 3.1 Existing Site Documentation Prior to visiting the site, a review of several natural resource inventory maps was conducted. Resources reviewed included the King County Soil Survey, City of Federal Way Zoning and Wetland Atlas, Department of Natural Resources FPARS, and the National Wetland Inventory. 3.1.1 King County Soil Survey According to the King County Soil Survey Area of Interest (AOI), the site contains Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AgB); which typically occurs on slopes of 0 to 6 percent, and Arent Alderwood Material (AmQ; which typically occurs on slopes of 0 to 6 percent. Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AgQ are moderately well drained soils formed under conifers in glacial deposits. Arents Alderwood material consists of Alderwood soils that have been so disturbed through urbanization that they no longer can be classified with the Alderwood series. According to the publication, "Hydric Soils of the United States" Alderwood gravelly sandy loam soils and Arents Alderwood material are not considered to be hydric or wetland soils. King County Soil Survey Re: St. Luke's Property SWC Job #AS-226 May 20, 2009 Revised June 10, 2009 Page 4 of 9 3.1.2 City of Federal Way Zoning and Wetland Atlas According to the City of Federal Way Wetland Atlas, there is a wetland located along the western property boundary. This wetland is identified as Wetland 8-21-4-314. Wetland 8- 21-4-314 is documented as being a Category III wetland.

The western property boundary has a historic fill slope, sloping downward to the east to a wetland. The fill slope and historically disturbed portions of the upland are comprised of Black Hawthorn (Crataegus douglasii), Scofs broom (Cytisus scopairus), Himalayan Blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata), thistle (Cirsium arvense), trailing blackberry (Rubus ursinus), and bent grass (Agrostis sp.). Soil pits excavated within the uplands revealed a 16-inch layer of gravelly sandy loam with a color of 10YR 3/2 with no redoximorphic features. Soils within the uplands were dry during the time of our site investigation. 3.5 Wetland A Wetland A was flagged pink "Wetland Delineation" flagging labeled A-1 through A-15 and AA-1 through AA-15. Wetland A is located near along the eastern property boundary and extends off -site to the east. Wetland A is a depressional wetland with forested and shrub vegetative communities. Vegetation within Wetland A included Black Cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), red alder (Alnus rubra), Pacific willow (Salix lasiandra), red osier dogwood (Cornus sericea), Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), hardhack (Spiraea douglasii), reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), and fringecup (Tellima grandiflora). Re: St. Luke's Property SWC Job #A8-226 May 20, 2009 Revised June 10, 2009 Page 7 of 9 Soil pits excavated within the wetland revealed a 16-inch layer of silt loam with a color of 10YR 2/1. Soils within the wetland were moist within 12-inches of the soils surface during the time of our field investigation. According to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) wetland classification method (Cowardin et al. 1979), Wetland A would be considered a PFO1C (palustrine, forested, broad-leaved deciduous, seasonally flooded) wetland. According to the City of Federal Way Code § 22-1357, Wetland A would be regulated as a Category 3 wetland based on its overall size being larger than 1 acre and having one wetland classes (forested). Typically, Category 3 wetlands have a 50-foot buffer measured from the wetland edge. A 10-foot landscape setback line is measured from the buffer edge. 4.0 Proposed Project and Mitigation Measures The proposed project is the additional development of the property for building expansion, play areas, storm water detention ponds, parking, access drives, and more for provided services to the community. The current condition of the wetland is degraded by the encroachment of non-native invasive species. Currently, non-native invasive species within the wetland are not the dominant species; however, if action is not taken within the reasonably foreseeable future, the majority of the wetland will be consumed by Himalayan Blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) as it is already in great abundance within the wetland. The project proposes to reduce portions of the 50-foot degraded buffer to 25- feet. For the reduction of the wetland buffer, the buffer area adjacent to the reduction will be cleared on non-native invasive species (Himalayan Blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) and Scot's broom (Cytisus scopairus)). All degraded areas of remaining buffer contiguous with the site will be enhanced with native tree and shrub species. In addition, several habitat features will be installed to provide habitat opportunity to human tolerant wildlife species. See Final Mitigation Plan Sheets W-1, W-2 and W-3 for conceptual mitigation plan, planting plan, details, and installation and monitoring details, respectively. The project will reduce the 50' foot wide standard buffer adjacent to the northern and western boundary of the wetland. As mitigation for reduction of 16,645sf (square feet) the project will enhance at least 16,645 of degraded critical area buffer. Along the northern wetland boundary a few deciduous trees area located within the reduction area. FWCC §22-1359(e) — Buffer reduction. Wetland A and its associated buffer were evaluated pursuant to the methodologies by Null, W. S., G. Skinner, and W. Leonard, 2000 Wetland Functions Characterization Tool Re: St. Luke's Property SWC Job #A8-226 May 20, 2009 Revised June 10, 2009 Page 8 of 9 for Linear Projects, Washington State Department of Transportation, Environmental Affairs Office, Olympia, WA. The proposed project meets the requirement for buffer reduction due to the evidence of human alterations (graded fill slope at edge of wetland) and dominance of non-native invasive species. See Sheets W-1 through W-3 for buffer enhancement plan. See Appendix A for impact analysis. Sewall Wetland Consulting, Inc, has performed a before and after analysis of the existing conditions and subsequently future site conditions for the wetland mitigation area to determine whether there would be any detrimental impacts to the wetland or its associated buffer for the proposed buffer reduction. See Appendices for attached data sheets of WADOT Wetland Functions Tool. Analysis of the Wetland Functions Tool has indicated a slight net increase in 6 out of 64 possible functions of the wetland and buffer from the mitigation proposal. The proposed project has included off -site areas that are contiguous with the majority of the wetland buffer reduction to provide as comprehensive approach as possible in the design of the mitigation plan. The proposed project will provide an increase in the overall quality of wetland and wetland buffer habitat by removal of non-native invasive species and the installation of a more diverse wetland buffer. Wildlife forage opportunity will be directly increased by a broader range of species within the critical area. Additionally, habitat features such as snag(s) and large woody debris will be installed to increase habitat opportunity. FWCC §22-1359(d) — Minor Improvements The project has been designed for a foot path along the outer limits of the reduced buffer and through portions of the wetland buffer within the southern property parcel. Impact to the critical area buffer from proposed 3-foot wide walking path is 1,205sf. The 1,205sf of impact includes impacts from the west side and the 152sf from the east side of the wetland. The project has provided 1:1 enhancement for impacts to the buffer associated with the foot path. It is anticipated that the foot path will be constructed out pervious materials such as bark chip or similar. The buffer adjacent to the walking path has been planted with native shrub species, several of which are thorn producing which will encourage path walkers to stay on the trail and not intrude into the preserved habitat. No trees have been proposed within this area as all trees will be avoided during the construction of the trail. For impacts to 1,205sf of buffer from the trail, over 1,205sf of critical area buffer will be enhanced with native shrub plantings. (See Sheets W-1 through W-3 for mitigation plantings. Although the trail through the east side of the buffer is not proposed at this time due to the variance process required for the wetland crossing, it makes more sense to complete the mitigation for the buffer impacts at this time in association with the large amount of improvements already proceeding for the buffer reduction. ..' Re: St. Luke's Property SWC Job #A8-226 May 20, 2009 Revised June 10, 2009 Page 9 of 9 1) It is not anticipated that the proposed trail will decrease ambient water quality within the wetland. Materials for the trail will be provided from a clean approved source free of contaminants. It is not anticipated that the amount of foot traffic will lead to any increase in pollutants in surface water flows. 2) The foot trail is not anticipated to affect any habitat or wildlife within the critical area. Wildlife species within the vicinity of the trail are human tolerant species, indicative of the urban environment. The trail location will be adjusted to avoid any significant trees, habitat features such as snags or other habitat features. 3) The foot trail will be constructed out of pervious materials and will not affect drainage or stormwater retention capabilities. 4) The construction of the trail will not create unstable earth conditions or erosion hazards. The slopes that the trail will be located on would not be considered steep slopes and subsequently minor grading to the trail will not create hazardous conditions. 5) It is not anticipated that the proposed foot path will be materially detrimental to any other property in the area or to the City. The passive recreation of the critical area through use of the trail will create a sense of `ownership' of the critical area and will likely influence people using the trail to want to take care of the surrounding environment. 5.0 CONCLUSIONS Overall the project will impact 17,850sf of buffer and will provide 18,026sf of buffer enhancement. It is our professional opinion that the proposed wetland mitigation plan meets the requirements set forth by the City of Federal Way Code for the 25-foot buffer reduction and minor intrusion into the buffer for a pedestrian foot trail.

If soil substrate is of poor, quality, a native top soil may be brought 'in and spread through the clearing area. The top soil should be tilled 'in with the native soils. All non-native species roots shall be disposed of off -site at (An approved facility.' The clearing and grading within the buffer will utilize the smallest construction equipment necessary to complete the work. General construction equipment will likely include excavator(s)"�,, backhoe(s), and trucks for hatflinq. 2.5 Stabilization of Mitigation Area All graded areas will be stabilized with hydroseed or mulch per 3.4.2 upon completion of grading. Orange construction fencing and/or erosion control fences will be placed around the m itigation area. The preferred time for construction is in the dry season (June -October). 2.6 Plant Material Installation All plant material will be planted by hand per detail and Construction and Planting Notes. "I"he Mitigation Plan specifies the required size, species, quantity. and location of plant materi(.fls 'to be 'installed. The contractor will re -seed or over -seed all hydroseeded areas disturbed during the planting process. Upon cornpletion ot fl-ic planting, the erosion control fencir"iq will he be f",)p roved restored and repaired.

Additional work may be required per the Monitoring Report and as approved by the City. Additional work may include removal of the grosses around each shrub and tree, 'installation of wood chips at each shrub and tree base, reseeding the mitigation area, re -staking existing trees and erosion control protection. 4.3 WATERING REQUIREMENTS 4.3.1 If plantings are installed within the dormant period throughout the winter months (October through March 15th) watering is not required. 4.3.2 If plantings are installed during the summer months (March through October 1st) a temporary irrigation system will be required. The temporary irrigation system may be removed after the first year providing t"i-le pio;-�i`untgs are established and acclimated to on -site conditions per Constrt.iction and Plantings Notes Sec. 4.0. 4.3.3 lrr*lg(,,.ition will continue from initiation through October 1st or between June 1st and Oct. 1 st for any subsequent year. Irrigation, if required, will provide head to head coverage for 15 mIr')utes per day every day. 4.3.4 Irrigation will only be used to help establish plant materials and is not intended to supplement or create additional hydrology in the mitigation area. Irrigation water for the mitigation area will be taken from the existing water lines in the area and not pumped out any wetlands, pond or streams. 4.4 CLOSFOUT OF FIVE YEAR MONITORING PROGRAM Upon cornpletion of the monitoring program and acceptance of the mitigation area by the City, the maintc�nance of the project will be reduced to include removal of litter and debris, removal of noxious weeds and undesirable vegetation, and repair of vandalized areas. 5.0 MONI'l"(")RING PROGRAM 5.1 SANlif,"ILING METHODOLOGY The mitigetion area will be monitored ten times over a five year period. Monitoring will be conducte'd using -the techniques and procedures described below to quantify the survival, relative health and growth of plant material. A monitoring report submitted following each monitoring visit will describe and quantify the status of the mitigation area at that time. 5.1.1 Veg(-Acition The vegetation monitoring consists of inspection of the planted material to determine the health and vigor of the installation. All the planted material in the restoration area will be inspected during ea(,..h monitoring visit to determine the level of survival of the installation. 5.2 STANDARDS OF SUCCESS 5.2.1 Eval(Aation of the success of the mitigation project will be based upon 100% survival for all planted woody vegetation at the end of year 1 and 80% survival for all planted woody vegetation at the end of year 5. 5.2.2 Not more than 10%cover of non-native invasive species within mitigation area after year 5. 5.2.3 Voltinteer native, non-invasive species will be included as acceptable components of the mitigation, but will not be counted towards the 80% success requirement. 5.3 CON1-INGENCY PLAN A conting(:1,ricy plan can be implemented if necessary. Contingency plans can include regrading, additional plant installation, erosion control, additional water quality facilities, modifications to hydrology, and plant substitutions including type, size, and location. If the monitoring results indicate that any of the performance standards are not being met, it may be necessary to "Implement all or part of the contingency plan. Careful attention to maintenance is essential in ensuring that problems do not arise. Should any of the site fail to meet the success criteria, a contingency plan will be developed and implemented with the City approval. Such plans are prepared on a case -by -case basis to reflect the failed m itigatiori characteristics. Continger)(,.,y/maintenance activities will include, but are not limited to.- • Replacing all plants lost to vandalism, drought, or disease, as necessary. • Replacing any plant species with a 20 percent or greater mortality rate with the same .'I,)ecies or similar species approved by the City. • Irrlg( i6ng the area only as necessary during dry weather if plants appear to be too dry, with a minimal quantity of water. o the mitigation area with an approved grass mixture as necessary 'if (,,,,,,,,,,,�t"-osion/sedimentation occurs. Rernoving all trash or undesirable debris from the restoration area as necessary per 4.0 Maintenance Program. 4r)" AdIAJ n I A A .4 r- -rf-'/-J ... ... ..... 0 2 IAL 1',� �,,�Y`Va ,',,J H"_DING I)EPT, 27641 Covington Way SE #2, Covington, WA 98042 253-859-0515 Fax 253-852-4732 I- M W wwa. a- iE W 04�, 0.
