07-103109 AND 07-103111CITY OF ti. Federal Way October 19, 2007 Ms. Lori Harvey CES NW Inc. 5210 12"' Street East Fife, WA 98424 CITY HALLFILE 33325 8th Avenue South Mailing Address: PO Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98063-9718 (253) 835-7000 www.cityoffederalway.com RE: FILE #07-103109-00-SU; PLANNING COMMENTS, SOUNDVIEW MANOR PRELIMINARY PLAT Dear Ms. Harvey: This letter forwards initial technical comments as prepared by the Planning Department. The formal subdivision and environmental applications were submitted on June 7, 2007, and are still considered incomplete based on adopted Federal Way City Code (FWCC) standards. The following comments are based on review of documents submitted to date: PRELIMINARY PLAT PLAN (SHEET PP1) 1. Pursuant to FWCC Section 20-111(c)(1)(1), the comprehensive plan and zoning classifications of the proposed plat and adjacent properties shall be listed on the preliminary plat drawing. This information for adjacent properties is missing from the submitted drawing. In addition, the comprehensive plan designation of Single -Family High -Density must be added to the `Site Statistical Breakdown' data. 2. Under FWCC Section 20-111(c)(1)(p), building setback lines are required to be depicted. Setbacks for corner lots are 20-foot front yard, 10-foot side yard facing the second street, and five feet for the second side and rear setback_ Please revise the setbacks for lots 3, 15, and 26. 3. List the height, materials, textures and landscape areas associated with all proposed retaining walls or rockeries. These should be depicted on the preliminary plat drawing. PARTIAL AND FULL GRADING PLANS (GRI AND GR2) 1. Provide a legend for these plans. 2. List the height of any proposed retaining walls and rockeries. 3. Identify those areas that are proposed to be established with slopes that exceed 20 percent. LANDSCAPE PLAN (SHEET LIA) 1. The text that states "existing trees and native vegetation to be retained" is not consistent with the grading plans which eliminate the existing trees and vegetation, and should be revised accordingly. 2. Show the street trees in the internal and external rights -of -way. 3. Depict the location of buffer fencing called out under FWCC Section 20-178(b). 4. According to the landscape plan, there are a total of 206 significant trees located on the subject site. The mass grading plan proposes removal of 192 of the significant trees, leaving undisturbed trees located in the wetland buffer. Tree replacement is proposed to be established within the edge of tract A, the storm drainage tract, as well as tracts B and C, landscape buffer tracts. Please be advised that any replacement trees shall be located in separate tracts to be owned and maintained by the homeowners association. Further, the applicant shall verify that the extensive vegetative screen created by the mature fir replacement trees will not adversely impact the function of the storm drainage facility. Please confirm if any views will be impacted by the replacement trees. Ms 'Harv, October 19, 2007 Page 2 5. A hatching pattern on the plan is not listed in the plant legend. Please provide an explanation of this pattern. 6. Revise the callout for Landscape Buffer Level III to Type III landscape buffer. TREE RETENTION PLAN (SHEET L1.0) Please darken the significant tree notations on this plan so it is readable. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST (SEPA) The Environmental Checklist must be revised as follows: o A.6 — The formal application was submitted in June 2007, but the checklist response states that anticipated construction date is spring 2007. Please revise the response based on current timelines. o A.8 — Revise this section to disclose information prepared about the heron's nest. o B. Lb — This response reflects an existing residence and does not seem to belong to this project. Please revise to be project specific. o B. Lf — The response states that the undeveloped portion of the site is covered with vegetation. Is the entire site not undeveloped? o B.l .g — Provide a response to this item. o B.3.a.1 —Revise this response to list the "perennial" major stream identified in the Wetland and Drainage Corridor Evaluation and Delineation Report, prepared by Habitat Technologies, that the off -site wetland is a Category II wetland with 100-foot buffer and that the storm drainage discharges into a regulated wetland associated with Dumas Bay. o B.3.a.2 — Revise this response to note that grading is proposed within 200 feet of the described wetland/stream system, but not within the wetland buffer. o B.3.a.4 — Demonstrate that the proposed development does not divert or withdraw water from the wetland systems. o BA.b — The figure of 60 percent of vegetative removal differs from the grading plans that reflect between 74 percent and 90 percent of the vegetation would be graded. This response should be consistent. In addition, list the quantity of significant trees existing on the subject site, the quantity of significant trees proposed for removal in conjunction with infrastructure installation, and proposed tree replacement methodology. o B.5 — Revise this section to reflect the Heron's nest proximity to the subject site and any recommendations from the Habitat Technologies September 17, 2007 report, titled `Great Blue Heron Nest Analysis.' o B.5.d — Given the proximity of the wetland and stream corridor, and identified mammal corridors on the subject site, list measures proposed to mitigate disruption to the wildlife corridors, including potential nuisance impacts to existing residential development. o B.8.a — List the use of adjacent properties. o B.8.c — Revise the response from "no" to "none." o B.8.h — Revise this response to include the wetland and stream. o B.10.a — The maximum height of a building in this zone is 30 feet above average elevation. o B.12.c — Revise this response to identify the fee -in -lieu of payment proposed to meet open space requirements of the FWCC. In addition, the wetland buffer can be counted as conservation open space under FWCC. o B.14.a -- This response should be amended to reflect that the FW Comprehensive Plan requires block perimeter requirements be met, and the plat has been designed to meet this requirement. o B.14.d — List the lineal feet of public right-of-way depicted on the plat drawing. o B.16.b — List the size of pipes proposed to be installed in conjunction with this development. 07-103109 Doc.1 D. 42573 Ms. Harvey October 19, 2007 Page 3 WETLAND AND DRAINAGE CORRIDOR EVALUATION AND DELINEATION REPORT, BLUE HERON ANALYSIS 1. Receipt of the above -noted Blue Heron Analysis prepared by Habitat Technologies dated September 17, 2007, will address the incomplete application item noted in the City's September 10, 2007 incomplete application letter. However, the City will forward the above -referenced wetland and drainage corridor report which includes a Wildlife Observations chapter, as well as the Great Blue Heron Nest Analysis prepared by Habitat Technologies dated September 17, 2007, and Great Blue Heron Nest Exhibits prepared by CES, NW, dated August 2, 2007, to Chris Anderson with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) for review and comment. 2. The Habitat Technologies analysis notes that there are two heron nests located off -site of the subject site, and that the nests "were not active during July and August 2007, and no field evidence was present that would define these nests as active earlier in the 2007 breeding season or as occupied by herons for nesting during this season." The report does not contain a recommendation for development separation or buffers from the nests. However, submitted exhibits depict the location of the heron's nest and a corresponding 500-foot buffer, and a 300-foot buffer, and your cover letter dated October 1, 2007, states that CES contends that a 300-foot buffer provides a more than adequate separation for an inactive nest. Please identify the scientific basis for the proposed 300-foot buffer and the associated parameters for development activity within that buffer consistent with WDFW dictates. 3. The wildlife section of the Wetland and Drainage Corridor Evaluation and Delineation Report contains a brief section titled Movement Corridors, and reports that small, medium and large mammals appeared to be moving throughout the project site. Given the proximity of the wetland and stream corridor, are there any recommendations for fencing along the wetland buffer? Identify other measures to mitigate disruption to the wildlife corridors, including potential impacts to existing development. PROJECT STATUS As of the date of this letter, the preliminary plat application remains incomplete due to the buildability issue. All other incomplete application items have been submitted for review. Technical comments from the Public Works Engineering and Traffic divisions have been forwarded. When resubmitting, please submit six copies of any plans or SEPA checklists, and four copies of any reports with the enclosed resubmittal information form.

The subject property is located within the 984 ft. Great Blue Heron Management buffer as recommended under management guidelines established for nesting great blue herons in the State of Washington under the WDFW Priority Habitats and Species Program. This letter outlines project -specific management recommendations and conservation considerations in reference to the proposed Soundview Manor Residential Community and nearby heron nesting activity. Great blue herons are considered a Priority Species by WDFW due to their colonial behavior. Heron colonies are categorized as a vulnerable aggregation; which includes those species or groups of animals susceptible to significant population declines, within a specific area or statewide, by virtue of their inclination to aggregate. They are considered a State Monitor species and are therefore managed by WDFW, as needed, to prevent them from becoming endangered, threatened, or sensitive. Great blue herons and their nests are protected under RCW 77.15.130, Protected Fish or Wildlife. Federal Way Municipal Code incorporates this in Chapter 18, Environmental Protection; under 18-28, Additional definitions; in the mention of fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, listing (2): Habitats and species of local importance. In the absence of comprehensive land -use and/or colony site management plans, WDFW recommends a permanent, year round buffer of 984 feet from the periphery of a colony in absence of any comprehensive land use plans (see attached buffer map). All human activities likely to cause colony abandonment should be restricted in this buffer year-round, and all human activities likely to cause disturbance to nesting great blue herons should be restricted in this buffer area from 15 February to 31 July. More information on Priority Habitats and Species can be found at: http://wdfvv.wa.gov/hab/phspage.htm On 07/05/07, as a follow-up to a report of a great blue heron nest site that was previously unknown to WDFW, a site visit was conducted at an undeveloped stand of trees south of the proposed Soundview Manor site, accessed via a walking path near 31435 42nd Place SW, to investigate whether there was sign of recent heron nesting activity. The 07/05/07 site visit resulted in confirmation of two great blue heron nests found in a black cottonwood that is dominant within the canopy of the subject stand of woods. The tree is located at (WGS 84) N 47 19' 10.4"; W 122 23' 15.9". The new heron colony site is roughly 2,000 ft southwest of the old Dumas Bay County Park heron colony site, which has been abandoned due to multiple pressures including eagle depredation events. At one time the Dumas Bay colony supported up to 24 active heron nests. The colony has not been used since 2000; at that time five active nests were observed. WDFW has interest in where the Dumas Bay colony birds have renested, as it is not certain if these individuals have remained within the immediate area, or left the vicinity altogether. The nearest known active heron colony in Federal Way is located to the northeast of the project site, in the Redondo Beach area; with two nests occupied, one of which actively used for nesting during the 2007 breeding season. Interviews with local citizens indicate that the new nest site has potentially been used for nesting since at least the 2006 breeding season (great blue heron nesting season, February 15-July 31). Anecdotal reports indicate that herons were in the stand in 2006, picldng twigs from surrounding trees and building nests, as well as with nestlings later in the season. Observations made on 07/05/07 did not indicate current breeding season occupation, however anecdotal reports indicated that birds were in the stand earlier in the 2007 breeding season. WDFW considers the occupancy status of this nest site to currently be unknown; with no adults present during initial activity investigations in July 2007, but nests in the colony were new or newly repaired. The subject Soundview Manor construction would occur approximately 286 feet north (see attached buffer map) from the current nest tree. WDFW is unable at this time to predict where herons may distribute their nesting efforts within the currently known colony area, or elsewhere within the immediate vicinity in future nesting seasons. Future nests may be located closer in proximity, or further away to the proposed Soundview Manor site. Proposed project activities include. clearing and grading of the site; construction of the proposed residential housing subdivision; construction of access roads and other impervious infrastructure; landscaping activities; as well as other associated exterior heavy construction activities. Clearing, grading, and land disturbing activities are restricted during the heron nesting season under WDFW Priority Habitats and Species management recommendations for great blue herons which outline that any human activity likely to cause disturbance to nesting great blue herons should be restricted within a 984 ft buffer during the nesting season. Exterior construction, particularly a larger -scale subdivision project such as that proposed for the subject site, has the potential to disturb nesting great blue herons at the adjacent heron colony. Proposed subject construction activities, when implemented, will impact baseline environmental conditions within the vicinity of the project site; particularly noise levels within the surrounding area due to excavation, clearing, grading, heavy equipment use, multiple residential structures being built at once, and other such activities that are known to generate large amounts of noise and add to and/or alter human activity patterns in the area. These changes to human activity patterns and the associated increase in noise levels are not normally found within the built and natural environment surrounding the great blue heron nesting area. Although some species of wildlife, including herons, are known to habituate to some human activities and habitat alterations, particularly those that are regular in pattern and well established so as to allow for a gradual habituation period, a new situation or addition of new potentially disturbing factors may result in considerably different responses in wildlife species at either the individual or local population level. It is plausible that urban herons are habituated to regular, low -intensity human activities such as the recreational activity found along a nearby walking path (approximately 100 feet south) and residential activity found within the subdivisions nearby (the nearest being approximately 200 feet to the east) of the subject nest tree. However, various human activities may not pose an impact to wildlife or wild) ife habitat as a single factor alone, but rather cumulatively, acting in a synergistic manner with other potentially influential factors. Therefore, it is likely that wildlife, including herons that utilize the area within the vicinity of the subject property, are not habituated to new activity patterns associated with the proposed construction project and the resulting alteration to baseline environmental conditions that would occur during implementation of the proposed project. Irregular noise and construction activities not usually found within the area may create stress in individual animals, resulting in altered behavior and activity patterns; as well as potentially attract predatorial species to the construction activities found within the area, or to the affected wildlife that may be displaying erratic behavior due to the additional stress factors found within the surrounding environment. Heron colonies in urban areas of western. Washington are under increasing human -induced pressure, both directly and indirectly, due to their proximity to potentially disturbing human activities and the dynamic of constant change 2 associated with a developing urban built and natural environment. In recent years, other large urban heron colonies in King County have disbanded. At times, some of the herons will nest in smaller "satellite" colonies of roughly 1 to 5 nests in the vicinity of the old "larger colony" site. Alternatively, some of these old colony sites and their surrounding areas are not used at all for heron nesting purposes. Smaller colonies tend to be negatively impacted more easily by predators. The ultimate effect of the pressure exerted by an urban environment on heron colonies is complex and not completely understood. Therefore, conservation management measures are recommended due to the abandonment of historically well:established heron colonies within Federal Way and current observations of heron investigation and use of areas for nesting, albeit in small numbers, within the City at present. WDFW recommends the following measures be taken to assist in the management of the new great blue heron colony found south of the proposed Soundview Manor Residential Community: No exterior construction activities including clearing, grading, construction of roads and multiple residential structures shall be allowed at the subject site during the great blue heron nesting season (February 15 - July 31) within a 500 ft. management buffer surrounding the. current nest site. , Lower intensity construction activity that limits noise and does not involve large scale site manipulation, such as preparation and finishing work limited to the interior of structures using hand held power tools, would be allowable during the nesting season. Such a condition should provide that this limitation period may be modified, including being reduced, depending on actual heron activity at the colony within any given year. A request by the applicant to alter this construction limitation would need to be reviewed by a qualified wildlife biologist and recommendations submitted to WDFW for approval. • Native trees greater than or equal to 56 ft in height and native shrubs greater than or equal to 23 ft. in height found within 300 feet of the current nest tree, e.g. along the southern edge of the proposed Soundview Manor Residential Community, shall be retained as a vegetative screening buffer to assist in mitigation of any activities found in the surrounding built environment that may disturb heron nesting activity at the subject nest site. ■ Where appropriate, outdoor utility lighting of Soundview Manor Residential Community should incorporate shielding to reduce glare into the recommended 300 ft. vegetative buffer in order to avoid any potential adverse impacts to great blue herons and other wildlife utilizing the existing natural environment found adjacent to the subject site. In Alterations to the above recommendations may be submitted to WDFW for review and management recommendations if it is determined that the subject nesting site is unoccupied by great blue herons for breeding purposes over a period of 5 consecutive years or greater, as documented by a qualified wildlife biologist and confirmed by WDFW.

Page 3 — Groundwater: While groundwater was not encountered during the subsurface exploration, at least one test hole should reach the water table in the vicinity of the infiltration facility. If the water table is very deep, the test hole need not extend more than one-fourth the maximum width of the pond below the bottom of the pond. This would mean that a test hole near the vicinity of the pond needs to reach groundwater, or be drilled to an elevation of 115' (68'/4 is 17' below elevation 132.) Provide another test hole, along with data, meeting this requirement. (KCSWDM 5.4.1) To address the general requirements for infiltration facilities as described in the King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), two borings were drilled within the proposed infiltration pond location at the approximate locations shown on the "Boring Location Plan," Plate 1. Each boring was drilled to a depth of 31.5 feet below existing grade. Boring B-1 was drilled to an approximate elevation of 116.5 feet and B-2 was drilled to an approximate elevation of 109.5 feet. At each boring location, loose to medium dense silty sand (Unified Soil Classification SM) was encountered to a depth of 7.5 to 10 feet below grade. The silty sand was underlain by outwash deposits comprised of poorly graded sand with silt (SP-SM) and poorly graded sand (SP) to the maximum exploration depth at each boring location. Groundwater was not encountered during the exploration. 2. Test Pit TP-1 was drilled to an elevation of 17 feet below grade, or elevation 128. This is one foot short of meeting the minimum 5 feet below the bottom elevation of the infiltration surface. Provide another test hole, along with data, meeting this requirement. (KCSWDM 5.4.1) As described above, two borings were drilled within the proposed infiltration pond location. Boring B-2 was extended approximately 22.5 feet below the proposed infiltration elevation of 132 feet. 3. Page 12 — Textural Analyses: Increased moisture was encountered at a depth of 16 feet at TP- 1, which may be indicative of localized seasonal perched groundwater or a seasonal high groundwater table. However, the recommended infiltration pond surface elevation was at 13 feet at TP-1. Based on similar results with TP-2 at the same elevations, it would appear that the soils within three feet of the proposed infiltration surface elevation may not be conductive to proper infiltration. Show how soils within TP-1, TP-2, and TP-3 meet the soil property requirements listed on page 5-58 of the KCSWDM. Verify that the particle size distribution for the three test holes meet the minimum and maximum requirements. Based on additional subsurface exploration, the seasonal high groundwater table is greater than a depth of approximately 22.5 feet below the proposed infiltration elevation of 132 feet. The increased moisture encountered at a depth of 16 feet at Test Pit TP-1 does not appear to be perched on an impermeable layer extending laterally beneath the proposed infiltration area. The increased moisture may be indicative of seasonal perched groundwater collecting above a less permeable lens within the outwash deposits, similar to the beds of poorly graded sand with silt observed at TP-3. However, less permeable lenses were not observed at excavations within the proposed pond location during initial or subsequent EARTH CONSULTING INCORPORATED Page 2 SOUNDMEW MANOR February 20, 2008 E-12164-1 explorations. The increased soil moisture was observed at an approximate elevation of 129 feet, approximately 3 feet below the proposed infiltration elevation. Based on textural analyses, soils collected at Test Pit TP-1 within the proposed infiltration area and at TP-2 approximately 50 feet east of the proposed infiltration area are comprised of coarse sand both above and below the proposed infiltration elevation. Based on observed soil conditions at the boring locations, the coarse sand extends up to 22.5 feet below the proposed infiltration elevation. 4. The design infiltration surface is shown at 132 feet. The elevation of SW Dash Point Road directly north of the proposed infiltration pond is also at elevation 132. The embankment ditch elevation on the south side of SW Dash Point Rd. is near elevation 129 (based on the road culvert). The embankment on the north side of the road drops significantly to elevation 126, only 130 feet horizontally away from the pond surface. Given the fact that the soils in the area have a high to severe slippage potential, and based on the elevations noted above, please discuss in depth what effects, if any, the lateral migrating phreatic water surface, or the increased ground water recharge will have on the structural stability of SW Dash Point Rd. adjacent to the project site. To assess the effects the proposed infiltration pond may have on the stability of Southwest Dash Point Road, we reviewed soils and geologic maps of the area and conducted a slope stability analyses. Soils and Geologic Map Review As stated in the referenced geotechnical engineering study, review of the 1973 USDA Soil Conservation Service (SCS) maps for King County indicates the soils underlying most of the property consist of Indianola loamy fine sand, 4 to 15 percent slopes (Map Unit InC). Indianola soils formed in sandy recessional glacial drift, and when found on 4 to 15 percent slopes are characterized by rapid permeability, slow to medium runoff, and a slight to moderate erosion hazard. On 15 to 30 percent slopes, Indianola soils are characterized by medium runoff and a moderate to severe erosion hazard. The soils encountered in the vicinity of the proposed infiltration facility are consistent with Indianola soils. The northeastern corner of the property is mapped as Alderwood and Kitsap soils, very steep (Map Unit AkF). Alderwood soils formed in glacial till and Kitsap soils formed in glacial lake deposits. When found on steep slopes, Alderwood and Kitsap soils are characterized by rapid to very rapid runoff, a severe slippage potential, and a severe to very severe erosion hazard. This is due to a combination of slope gradient and the impermeable nature of these soils at a shallow depth. Review of the Draft Geologic Map of the Tacoma North 7.5-Minute Quadrangle, Washington (Troost, Booth, in review) indicates the site is underlain by glacial till (Map Unit Qvt) comprised of a compact mixture of sand, silt, and gravel, deposited by the Vashon glacier. Areas to the south of the site are mapped as recessional outwash (Map Unit Qvr) comprised of stratified sand and gravel deposited by meltwater streams issuing from the receding Vashon glacier. Areas to the north of the site are mapped as advance outwash (Map Unit Qva) comprised of bedded sand and gravel deposited by meltwater streams issuing from and subsequently overrun by the advancing Vashon glacier. Based on observed conditions in the EARTH CONSULTING INCORPORATED Page 3 SOUNDVIEW MANOR February 20, 2008 E-12164-1 vicinity of the proposed pond, the upper loose to medium locations are likely either recessional outwash deposits deposits. The underlying dense to very dense sands are deposits. Slope Stability Analyses dense sands at the exploratory or reworked advance outwash consistent with advance outwash To assess the stability of the slope to the north of Southwest Dash Point Road, a quantitative slope stability analysis was conducted to numerically model the stability of the slope. We used the GEO-SLOPE computer program to model the potential for deep-seated and shallow rotational -type failures. Our analyses provided us with factors -of -safety against failure. The factor -of -safety is the ratio of driving forces to resisting forces. A factor -of -safety of 1.0 is equilibrium, a factor -of -safety of less than 1.0 indicates failure, and a factor -of -safety of 1.5 or greater is generally considered the acceptable minimum for static conditions. "Cross Section A -A'," Plate 2, was developed from proposed topographic data provided on a topographic survey by C.E.S. NW, Inc. Cross Section A -A' extends from the slope area north of Southwest Dash Point Road through the proposed pond to the proposed future alignment of Southwest 314th Street. A slope stability analysis was then conducted along the topographic profile. Please refer to Plate 1 for the location of Cross Section A -A'. The topographic profile used in our stability analyses along Cross Section A -A' is included as Plate 2. Soils strength parameters were assigned based on soil conditions observed in our subsurface exploration, on our experience with similar soil conditions, and on published data. The following values were used in our analyses: Soil Parameters for Stability Analysis Soil Type Density Cohesion 1.1.1. Friction Incfl (Dsfl I (dearees Medium dense fill 130 1 0 34 Loose to medium dense sand 110 0 28 i Dense to very dense sand 115 j 0 32 pcf = pounds per cubic foot, psf = pounds per square foot In our analyses, we modeled the potential for shallow and deep-seated rotational -type failures within the north -facing slope to the north of Southwest Dash Point Road. For the purpose of our analyses, we modeled a shallow groundwater table in the native surficial soils to represent seepage from the proposed pond. In our opinion, however, this condition is unrealistic, as neither impermeable layers nor a groundwater table were encountered during the exploration. In our opinion, lateral movement of infiltrated water at the pond should be minimal. EARTH CONSULTING INCORPORATED Page 4 'SOUNDVIEW MANOR February 20, 2008 E-12164-1 Based on the results of our slope stability analyses, the factor -of -safety for saturated conditions within the slope is 1.8 for a shallow rotational -type failure under static conditions. Shallow surficial failures are still possible, however, if seepage were to saturate the loose surficial soils mantling the slope. Due to the bedded nature of the advance outwash deposits, lateral movement of infiltrated stormwater is possible along less permeable bedding planes. However, in our opinion, it is not likely that lateral movement of infiltrated stormwater will reach the slope to the north of Southwest Dash Point Road. We trust this information meets your current needs. If you have any questions, please call. Respectfully submitted, EARTH CONSULTING INCORPORATED Eric L. Woods, LG Project Manager Kristina M.

The subject property is located within the 984 ft. Great Blue Heron Management buffer as recommended under management guidelines established for nesting great blue herons in the State of Washington under the WDFW Priority Habitats and Species Program. This letter outlines project -specific management recommendations and conservation considerations in reference to the proposed Soundview Manor Residential Community and nearby heron nesting activity. Great blue herons are considered a Priority Species by WDFW due to their colonial behavior. Heron colonies are categorized as a vulnerable aggregation; which includes those species or groups of animals susceptible to significant population declines, within a specific area or statewide, by virtue of their inclination to aggregate. They are considered a State Monitor species and are therefore managed by WDFW, as needed, to prevent them from becoming endangered, threatened, or sensitive. Great blue herons and their nests are protected under RCW 77.15.130, Protected Fish or Wildlife. Federal Way Municipal Code incorporates this in Chapter 18, Environmental Protection; under 18-28, Additional definitions; in the mention of fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, listing (2): Habitats and species of local importance. In the absence of comprehensive land -use and/or colony site management plans, WDFW recommends a permanent, year round buffer of 984 feet from the periphery of a colony in absence of any comprehensive land use plans (see attached buffer map). All human activities likely to cause colony abandonment should be restricted in this buffer year-round, and all human activities likely to cause disturbance to nesting great blue herons should be restricted in this buffer area from 15 February to 31 July. More information on Priority Habitats and Species can be found at: http://wdfw.wa.gov/hab/Phspage.htm On 07/05/07, as a follow-up to a report of a great blue heron nest site that was previously unknown to WDFW, a site visit was conducted at an undeveloped stand of trees south of the proposed Soundview Manor site, accessed via a walking path near 31435 42nd Place SW, to investigate whether there was sign of recent heron nesting activity. The 07/05/07 site visit resulted in confirmation of two great blue heron nests found in a black cottonwood that is dominant within the canopy of the subject stand of woods. The tree is located at (WGS 84) N 47 19' 10.4", W 122 23' 15.9". The new heron colony site is roughly 2,000 ft southwest of the old Dumas Bay County Park heron colony site, which has been abandoned due to multiple pressures including eagle depredation events. At one time the Dumas Bay colony supported up to 24 active heron nests. The colony has not been used since 2000; at that time five active nests were observed. WDFW has interest in where the Dumas Bay colony birds have renested, as it is not certain if these individuals have remained within the immediate area, or left the vicinity altogether. The nearest known active heron colony in Federal Way is located to the northeast of the project site, in the Redondo Beach area; with two nests occupied, one of which actively used for nesting during the 2007 breeding season. Interviews with local citizens indicate that the new nest site has potentially been used for nesting since at least the 2006 breeding season (great blue heron nesting season, February 15-July 31). Anecdotal reports indicate that herons were in the stand in 2006, picking twigs from surrounding trees and building nests, as well as with nestlings later in the season. Observations made on 07/05/07 did not indicate current breeding season occupation, however anecdotal reports indicated that birds were in the stand earlier in the 2007 breeding season. WDFW considers the occupancy status of this nest site to currently be unknown; with no adults present during initial activity investigations in July 2007, but nests in the colony were new or newly repaired. The subject Soundview Manor construction would occur approximately 286 feet north (see attached buffer map) from the current nest tree. WDFW is unable at this time to predict where herons may distribute their nesting efforts within the currently known colony area, or elsewhere within the immediate vicinity in future nesting seasons. Future nests may be located closer in proximity, or further away to the proposed Soundview Manor site. Proposed project activities include: clearing and grading of the site; construction of the proposed residential housing subdivision; construction of access roads and other impervious infrastructure; landscaping activities; as well as other associated exterior heavy construction activities. Clearing, grading, and land disturbing activities are restricted during the heron nesting season under WDFW Priority Habitats and Species management recommendations for great blue herons which outline that any human activity likely to cause disturbance to nesting great blue herons should be restricted within a 984 ft buffer during the nesting season. Exterior construction, particularly a larger -scale subdivision project such as that proposed for the subject site, has the potential to disturb nesting great blue herons at the adjacent heron colony. Proposed subject construction activities, when implemented, will impact baseline environmental conditions within the vicinity of the project site; particularly noise levels within the surrounding area due to excavation, clearing, grading, heavy equipment use, multiple residential structures being built at once, and other such activities that are known to generate large amounts of noise and add to and/or alter human activity patterns in the area. These changes to human activity patterns and the associated increase in noise levels are not normally found within the built and natural environment surrounding the great blue heron nesting area. Although some species of wildlife, including herons, are known to habituate to some human activities and habitat alterations, particularly those that are regular in pattern and well established so as to allow for a gradual habituation period, a new situation or addition of new potentially disturbing factors may result in considerably different responses in wildlife species at either the individual or local population level. It is plausible that urban herons are habituated to regular, low -intensity human activities such as the recreational activity found along a nearby walking path (approximately 100 feet south) and residential activity found within the subdivisions nearby (the nearest being approximately 200 feet to the east) of the subject nest tree. However, various human activities may not pose an impact to wildlife or wildlife habitat as a single factor alone, but rather cumulatively, acting in a synergistic manner with other potentially influential factors. Therefore, it is likely that wildlife, including herons that utilize the area within the vicinity of the subject property, are not habituated to new activity patterns associated with the proposed construction project and the resulting alteration to baseline environmental conditions that would occur during implementation of the proposed project. Irregular noise and construction activities not usually found within the area may create stress in individual animals, resulting in altered behavior and activity patterns; as well as potentially attract predatorial species to the construction activities found within the area, or to the affected wildlife that may be displaying erratic behavior due to the additional stress factors found within the surrounding environment. Heron colonies in urban areas of western Washington are under increasing human -induced pressure, both directly and indirectly, due to their proximity to potentially disturbing human activities and the dynamic of constant change 2 z associated with a developing urban built and natural environment. In recent years, other large urban heron colonies in King County have disbanded. At times, some of the herons will nest in smaller "satellite" colonies of roughly 1 to 5 nests in the vicinity of the old "larger colony" site. Alternatively, some of these old colony sites and their surrounding areas are not used at all for heron nesting purposes. Smaller colonies tend to be negatively impacted more easily by predators. The ultimate effect of the pressure exerted by an urban environment on heron colonies is complex and not completely understood. Therefore, conservation management measures are recommended due to the abandonment of historically well=established heron colonies within Federal Way and current observations of heron investigation and use of areas for nesting, albeit in small numbers, within the City at present. WDFW recommends the following measures be taken to assist in the management of the new great blue heron colony found south of the proposed Soundview Manor Residential Community: No exterior construction activities including clearing, grading, construction of roads and multiple residential structures shall be allowed at the subject site during the great blue heron nesting season (February 15 - July 31) within a 500 ft. management buffer surrounding the -current nest site. Lower intensity construction activity that limits noise and does not involve large scale site manipulation, such as preparation and finishing work limited to the interior of structures using hand held power tools, would be allowable during the nesting season. Such a condition should provide that this limitation period may be modified, including being reduced, depending on actual heron activity at the colony within any given year. A request by the applicant to alter this construction limitation would need to be reviewed by a qualified wildlife biologist and recommendations submitted to WDFW for approval. « Native trees greater than or equal to 56 ft in height and native shrubs greater than or equal to 23 ft. in height found within 300 feet of the current nest tree, e.g. along the southern edge of the proposed Soundview Manor Residential Community, shall be retained as a vegetative screening buffer to assist in mitigation of any activities found in the surrounding built environment that may disturb heron nesting activity at the subject nest site. Where appropriate, outdoor utility lighting of Soundview Manor Residential Community should incorporate shielding to reduce glare into the recommended 300 ft. vegetative buffer in order to avoid any potential adverse impacts to great blue herons and other wildlife utilizing the existing natural environment found adjacent to the subject site. « Alterations to the above recommendations may be submitted to WDFW for review and management recommendations if it is determined that the subject nesting site is unoccupied by great blue herons for breeding purposes over a period of 5 consecutive years or greater, as documented by a qualified wildlife biologist and confirmed by WDFW.

Breeding pairs on the Pacific coast occur only to about 52 north latitude. Distribution of great blue herons within Washington is state-wide (see Figure 1). RATIONALE Great blue herons can be vulnerable because of their tendency to aggregate during the breeding season. The availability of suitable great blue heron breeding habitat is Great Blue Heron Ardea herodias Last updated: 1999 Written by Timothy Quinn and Ruth Milner '4e SVINI Figure 1. The great blue heron, .4rdea herodias. occurs throughout Washington. Map derived from the literature. declining as human population increases in Washington State. In addition, great blue herons may abandon breeding colonies or experience reduced reproductive success when disturbed by humans. HABITAT REQUIREMENTS Great blue herons occur near most types of fresh and saltwater wetlands including seashores, rivers, swamps, marshes, and ditches. They are found throughout Washington but are most common in the lowlands. Nesting Great blue Herons are colonial breeders that nest in a variety of deciduous and evergreen tree species. Nests are usually constructed in the tallest trees available, presumably to reduce the risk of predation by mammals (Butter 1992, Carlson 1995), but may also be located in bushes and in artificial structures (Bruce 1986, Blus et al. 1980) when trees are absent (Henny and Kurtz 1978). In King and Kitsap counties, great blue herons nested at heights Volume IV: Birds. 3-1 Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife ranging from 9-26 m (30-85 ft) in the tallest trees available (Jensen and Boersma 1993). A British Columbia study found that most great blue heron nests occurring in trees were located >14 m (46 ft) in height. No nests were found under 10 m (33 ft) (Mark I976). Great blue herons in western Oregon nested at heights ranging from 7-25 m (23-82 ft) (Werschkul et al. 1976). Feeding Great blue herons feed on a wide variety of aquatic and marine animals found in shallow waters. Great blue herons also feed on mice and voles (Calambokidis at al. 1985, Butler 1995), which were an important food for nestlings in Idaho (Collazo 1981) and may be an important food for British Columbia great blue herons during winter (Butler 1995). At large spatial scales (e.g., great blue heron home range), the location of great blue heron colonies is probably best explained by the distribution of foraging habitat (Gibbs 1991, Jensen unpublished data, see human disturbance below for smaller scale considerations). Although great blue herons may forage up to 29 km (I8 mi) from a colony, most forage within 2-5 km (1-3 mi) of the colony (Short and Cooper 1985, Butler 1995). The number of nests per colony in British Columbia (Butler 1991), Oregon (Werschkul at al, 1977, Bayer and McMahon 1981), Maine (Gibbs 1991), and Washington (Jensen unpublished data) were positively correlated with the amount of nearby foraging habitat, and in Maine were negatively correlated with the costs of foraging at greater distances (km flown/ha of wetland visited). Feeding territory size and location may vary from year to year (Hoover and Wills 1987). The availability of alternative foraging and nesting habitat within close proximity of known foraging sites is probably critical to great blue heron reproductive success. Butler (1995) suggested that food availability strongly affects great blue heron survival, the spacing of their colonies, and their use of habitat. Moreover, great blue heron food supply may be limiting, particulary in areas where foraging areas freeze during winter (Butler 1992). Colonies usually exist at the same location for many years, and productivity (number of fledglings/nesting herons) may be positively related to the number of years colonies have been in use (Butler 1995). Great blueherons may relocate their colonies in response to increased predation on eggs and young by mammals and birds such as eagles (Jensen unpublished data), declines in food availability (Simpson et al. 1987), or human disturbance. Jensen (unpublished data) suggested that 2 of the 5 King County colonies monitored in 1991 were abandoned in late spring due to bald eagle predation, but Butler ( I995) found that there was no relationship between the location of great blue heron colonies and the location of areas with high densities of nesting eagles. Thus, abandonment of colonial nesting areas due to predation pressure from eagles may be regionally specific. Great blue heron colonies built in spruce or Douglas -fir trees may damage host trees over time, which may also influence colony relocation (Julin 1986). LIMITING FACTORS The availability of nesting habitat in close proximity to suitable foraging habitat limits great blue herons. The availability of alternative foraging sites could be critical to nesting success. Great blue herons are generally sensitive to human disturbance and are frequently the target of vandalism (Parker 1980, English 1978). The type and extent of human disturbance can affect great blue heron colony site selection (Gibbs at al. 1987, Watts and Bradshaw I994). In Virginia, great blue herons chose colony sites further from roads and human structures than would be expected by chance; a pattern that was apparent up to 400-800 m (1312-2625 ft) from colonies (Watts and Bradshaw 1994). Great blue heron colonies have been abandoned in response to housing and industrial development, highway construction, logging, vehicle traffic, and repeated human intrusions (Leonard I985, Parkes 1980, Kelsall and Simpson 1979, Werschkul at al. 1976). In King and Kitsap counties, Jensen (unpublished data) found that great blue heron colony size decreased as distance to the nearest human disturbance within 300 m (984 ft) decreased, and as the amount of human development within 300 m (984 ft) of the colony increased. Nests occupied first in each of 3 King County colonies in 1991 were furthest from development and had more than twice as many fledgling than nests closer to development (3.13 versus 1.51 young/nest) (Jensen unpublished data). Volume IV: Birds, 3-2 Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Other studies suggested that great blue herons may habituate to non -threatening repeated activities (Webb and Forbes 1982, Vos et al. 1985, Calambokidis et al. 1985, Shipe and Scott 1981). 'Thus, different great blue herons may have different tolerance levels to disturbance depending on disturbance history and type (Simpson 1984). Although the effects of visual and auditory buffers have not been well studied, topographic or vegetation obstructions may ameliorate some types of disturbance (Webb and Forbes 1982). MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS We suggest that the most effective way to conserve great blue herons in Washington is through comprehensive land - use planning that considers the needs of al l species. In the absence of comprehensive Iand-use plans, we recommend the protection of existing great blue heron colonies using colony site -specific management plans. Colony site - specific management plans are based on general recommendations from current research, knowledge of the colony, surrounding land uses, and landowner goals. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife can assist in development of these management plans. Al l plans designed to conserve great blue heron colonies should consider the following factors, among others: The colony's size, location, relative isolation, and the degree of habituation to disturbance (Henny and Kurtz 1978, Bowman and Siderius 1984). Colonies located in close proximity to existing human activities may tolerate more disturbance than colonies located in undisturbed areas (Simpson 1984, Webb and Forbes 1982, Bowman and Siderius 1984). While it is currently unclear how colony size affects reproductive success (Butler 1995), larger colonies may be more stable and are probably indicative of more or better foraging habitat and higher productivity (number of fledglings/nesting herons) than smaller colonies. Should priorities need to be set, larger colonies should receive more protection than smaller colonies. Great blue herons are less tolerant of disturbance during the pre -nesting and courtship periods, becoming progressively less likely to temporarily leave or abandon nests after laying eggs (Kelsall 1989, Bowman and Siderius 1984, Rodgers and Smith 1995). To protect colonies from human disturbance, most studies reviewed by Butler (1992) recommended a minimum 300 m (984 ft) buffer zone from the periphery of colonies in which no human activity occurs during the courtship and nesting season (15 February to 31 July). Many authors of these studies, however, make recommendations in the absence of data showing the effects of human disturbance on nesting great blue herons. Moreover, colonies in Washington have been established or continue to persist within 300 m (984 ft) of human disturbance. Following experimental work on the disturbance of nesting great blue herons in Ontario, Canada, Vas et al. (1985) recommended that a 250 in (820 ft) buffer zone (their greatest flushing distance) plus 50 m (164 ft) for a total of 300 in (984 ft) would be suitable to minimize disturbance to nesting great blue herons. In a similar study on flushing distance in Florida, Rogers and Smith (1995) recommended a distance of 100 in (328 ft) to avoid disturbance to nesting great blue herons from motorboats and humans on foot. In the absence of comprehensive land -use and/or colony site management plans, we recommend the establishment of pennanent, year-round minimum protection areas (buffers) of 250-300 m (820-984 ft) from the peripheries of colonies (Bowman and Siderius 1984, Quebec 1986 in Kelsall 1989, Vos et at. 1985, Buckley and Buckley 1976, Pullin 1988, Short and Cooper 1985, Parker 1980). All human activities likely to cause colony abandonment should be restricted in this buffer year-round. All human activities likely to cause disturbance (flushing and other behaviors that may reduce fitness) to nesting great blue herons should be restricted in this buffer area from the beginning of courtship behavior through fledging (15 February to 31 July) unless site specific nesting chronology is known (J. Kelsall, personal communication) in which case timing of restrictions should reflect this knowledge. In addition, we concur with Butler's (1991) recommendation that activities such as logging or construction should not occur within 1,000 m (3,281 11) of a colony and no aircraft should fly within a vertical distance of 650 in (2,133 ft) during the nesting season unless those activities can be shown to have no effect on great blue heron fitness. Since the proximity of nesting habitat to foraging habitat is important to great blue heron fitness (Butler 1995), the loss or degradation of nesting habitat may be a problem if alternative great blue heron nesting habitat becomes limited. We recommend that several alternative forested stands at least 4 ha (10 ac) in size with dominant trees at least 17 in (56 ft) in height be left in the vicinity of existing great blue heron breeding colonies (Parker 1980, Jensen Volume IV: Birds. 3-3 Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and Boersma 1993). Large colonies (>50 nests) would likely require more alternative nesting habitat. J. Kelsall (personal communication) suggested leaving large nesting trees in the center of an area having 300 In (984 ft) or more of isolation during the breeding season. Important foraging areas within a minimum radius of 4 km (2.5 mi) of colonies should be protected from development (Hoover and Willis 1987). In addition, each foraging area, particulary those that are intensively used, should have a surrounding buffer zone of at least 100 m (328 ft) (Short and Cooper 1985). Human activities that reduce the value of foraging sites should be minimized in these buffer zones. Buffer zones may be critical for foraging areas that are surrounded by intense human development (Short and Cooper 1985, Hoover and Wills 1987). Organochlorine, organophosphate, and carbamate insecticides can be highly toxic to birds, mammals, and fish, and their use should be avoided near great blue heron colonies and upland/wetland foraging habitat (McEwen et al. 1972, Grue et al. 1983, Grue et al. 1986, Smith 1987). Synthetic pyrethroids (e.g., permethrin) are low in their toxicity to birds and mammals and may be used as alternatives. However, they are highly toxic to fish and should be kept out of water systems (Grue et al. 1986, Smith and Stratton 1986). The use of any insecticide (Smith 1987) or herbicide (Santillo et al. 1989) should be avoided in great blue heron nesting or foraging habitat unless it has been shown to have no effect on great blue heron fitness. Appendix Aprovides useful contacts to help assess the use of pesticides, herbicides, and their alternatives. Buffer zones around great blue heron colonies (300 m (984 ft)) and foraging areas within 4 km (2.5 mi) of colonies (100 m [328 ft]) should be free of pesticides (Brown 1978, Smith 1987). Suggested buffer widths for insecticide spray application near foraging areas range from 31-500 m (102-1,640 ft) (Kingsbury 1975, Payne et al. 1988, Terrell and Bytnar-Perfetti 1989), but in general buffer widths should increase as the toxicity of the treatment compound increases. Determination of buffer widths should account for pesticide droplet size and volume and meteorological conditions (Kingsbury 1975, Brown 1978, Payne et al. 1988). Efforts to increase awareness of great blue heron nesting colonies should concentrate on inventories, information exchange, and education. Used and abandoned colony sites should be inventoried regularly and mapped by local and state agencies. Reproductive success should be monitored, particularly if it is likely to be affected by bald eagles and/or human disturbance. REFERENCES Bayer, R. D., and E. McMahon. 1981.

Kelsall, Wildlife Biologist Retired Delta, British Columbia Volume IV: Birds. 3-6 Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife r-, KEY POINTS Habitat Requirements • Great blue herons are colonial breeders that nest in tall (>7 in [23 ft]) deciduous or evergreen trees near fresh and saltwater wetlands. • Great blue herons typically nest at heights ranging from 9 -26 in (29-85 ft). • Great blue herons feed on aquatic and marine animals found in shallow water, and sometimes on mice and voles from upland habitats. They usually forage within 2-5 km (1-3 mi) of their breeding colony site. • Alternative nesting and feeding habitat is probably critical to great blue heron reproductive success. ■ Great blue herons that have experienced few disturbances may not tolerate human activities near their colonies. However, great blue herons that have been frequently or consistently exposed to disturbance may be more tolerant of human disturbances. Management Recommendations Wherever possible, a habitat protection buffer at least 300 m (984 ft) wide should be established around the periphery of a colony. All human activities likely to cause colony abandonment should be restricted in this buffer year-round, and all human activities likely to cause disturbance to nesting great blue herons should be restricted in this buffer area from 15 February to 31 July. Site specific management plans should be developed for each great blue heron colony whenever activities that might affect that colony are proposed. Such plans should consider the following: ➢ The colony's size, location, relative isolation, and degree of habituation to disturbance; ➢ Topographic or vegetative features surrounding the colony that might ameliorate the effect of human disturbance; ➢ The availability of foraging areas and their proximity to the colony site; ➢ Proximity of forest lands that could be used as alternative colony sites; ➢ Land -use patterns and potential for long-term availability of nesting and foraging habitat. • Stands of large trees at least 17 in (56 ft) high and at least 4 ha (10 ac) in size that can be buffered from disturbance should be left in the vicinity of great blue heron breeding colonies as alternative nesting habitat. ■ Foraging areas, especially wetlands, within a minimum radius of 4 km (2.5 mi) of colonies should be protected from development and should have a surrounding disturbance free buffer zone of at least 100 m (328 ft). • Attempts should be made to keep all pesticides out of great blue heron foraging and nesting habitat, and associated buffer zones. Refer to Appendix Afor contacts useful when assessing pesticides, herbicides, and their alternatives. • Activities such as logging or construction should not occur within 1,000 m (3,281 ft) of a colony, and no aircraft should fly within a vertical distance of 650 in (2,133 ft) during the nesting season. ■ Alternative forested stands at least 4 ha (10 ac) in size with dominant trees at least 17 in (56 ft) in height should be left in the vicinity of existing great blue heron breeding colonies.

Ordinarily, this would have been folded in to a document responding to all comments, but 1 wanted you to have this information prior to the neighborhood traffic meeting on May 29`° at 7:00 p.m. at Decatur High School.' As you are aware, the City has received an application for the proposed Soundview Manor Subdivision, consisting of 27 single-family homes. Access to the site would be from SW Dash Point Road east of 44` Avenue SW and the extension of SW 3 1 e Street west of 42nd Place SW. The access to SW 314th Street is required by the Federal Way City Code (FWCC). Attached is a summary of the applicable City Code and Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) policies for your reference. The proposed development would be inconsistent with Code without the street connection to SW 314 1hStreet under two code provisions: ■ FWCC Section 20-151(c) requires that the distance from a single access point to the farthest end of a dead-end street or cul-de-sac not exceed 600 feet; • FWCC Section 20-180(e) requires block perimeters to be less than 2640 feet, with exceptions for areas where it is physically impossible to meet this requirement. The City Code does not allow City staff to modify these requirements. Therefore, staff is proceeding with this application as though the connection will be required. However, at the time of their formal review, the City Council may decide to not make the connection. As such, staff has also requested the applicant prepare a plan for City Council's consideration that would provide for access for pedestrians and emergency vehicles only, similar to that permitted by King County on 36`h Avenue SW between Twin Lakes Division 5 and Bayview Country Estates. The neighborhood traffic meeting scheduled for May 29, 2008 is intended to address the types of traffic mitigation that may be appropriate within Twin Lakes Divisions 5 and 6 if the connection is made by City Council. The meeting is not intended to discuss the pros and cons of the connection itself. Therefore, 1 thought that responding to your comments prior to the meeting would provide a common basis of understanding the impacts of the development and the street connection. Hopefully, this would allow us to determine a consensus on what types of measures would be effective at reducing the impacts to Twin Lakes. The neighborhood traffic meeting will be conducted by the applicant. It will not replace the required public hearing, which will be scheduled by the City at a later date. File #07-103109-00-SU May 27, 2008 Page 2 of 5 I've summarized the submitted traffic related comments, listed them in order of decreasing frequency that the comment was made and provided a response to each. 1. Connection would reduce safety for pedestrians, especially children Since 1997, the City has had 102 collisions involving pedestrians and bicyclists; 19 of these occurred on local streets and minor collectors within residential neighborhoods, thus averaging 2 per year. The causes of these vary drastically and the locations are scattered randomly around the City, with a concentration of 4 near Federal Way High School, an area devoid of sidewalks. None of them have ",kbccumed in Twin Lakes. Due to the low level and sporadic nature of these collisions, it is impossible to predict with any level of statistical reliability whether this development would increase pedestrian and vehicular volumes sufficiently to change collision rates involving pedestrians or bicyclists. 2. The intersection of 42°d Place SW and SW 310 Street has poor sight distance. Staff concurs. Options may include installation of a mini -roundabout or all -way stop. 3. The approach on SW 314th Street is too steep. The maximum grade of SW 314th Street is 19.8%, which would have required an exception from King County Road Standards with concurrence from the Fire Marshall. The City does not have these records. However, the estimated increase in traffic would not justify requiring the developer to reconstruct the street to current standards. As a public street, the City cannot deny use to some unless we deny it to all access. Therefore, we cannot use this as a basis to not connect the street. 4. Cut -through traffic impacts/ Too much traffic generated by development/ Existing streets are too narrow already. The Traffic Impact Analysis prepared for the development investigated this concern. Out of 322 daily trips generated, 71 (22%) are estimated to use SW 314th Street to access the development. The study also estimated the increase in volume due to the connection to SW Dash Point Road at 563 vehicles per day. City staff believes that this is a very conservative estimate and actual volumes would be much lower. Thus the net increase is estimated at 634 vehicles per day. During the evening peak hour, the net increase is estimated at 67 vehicles per hour, or one vehicle every 54 seconds. The City's standard for a 36-foot wide street is that it should be capable of handling 5000 vehicles per day. These include: • SW 314th Street between Soundview Manor and 39th Avenue SW, • 39th Avenue SW between SW 314th Street and SW 317th Street, • SW 317`h Street between 39th Avenue SW and 42nd Avenue SW, ■ 42°d Avenue SW between SW 317th Street and SW 320th Street, • 415Y Place SW between SW 313th Street and SW 314`h Street, • SW 313th Street between 415t Place SW and 37`h Avenue SW, • 37th Avenue SW between SW 315th Street and SW 319`h Street, and • 36th Avenue SW between SW 319" Street and SW 320`' Street. The highest volume estimated on any of these streets assuming the connection to Soundview Manor is made would be on 42nd Avenue SW north of SW 320`h Street, at 1739 vehicles per day, well below the 5000 threshold. File #07-103109-00-SU May 27, 2009 Page 3 of 5 All other streets in Twin Lase Divisions h and stimated local volume impactedm by Soundview are capable of 1000 vehCity standards assume icles per day. T again well below the Manor is on 42" d Avenue SW north of SW 317 Street, at 417 vehicles per day, g threshold. 5. Additional access encourages crime. There is no clear consensus in the research on this topic. 6. We want the same treatment that Bayview Country Estates got. Key to the King County Hearings Examiner decision ove$o diew 35 MAvenue or was n e SW, andhaving in fact,single that connection on a 28-foot wide street could potentially Lakes and SW Dash Point decision included the proviso that once second co should beection hrween n removed. difference the Road were provided that the gate on 36 Avenue S two situations is that SW 3 1 e Street was intended to handle the forecast volumes. 7. The connection would increase speeding. There is no evidence to suggest that non-residents of a given neighborhood exceed the speed limit more than residents. 8. The connection would increase noise. ith increases in traffic volume, but these increases Roadway noise would increase commensuratew would not exceed noise thresholds in City Co 9. Emergency vehicles won't use access. South King Fire and Rescue is requesting the connection be made because the existing stub of SW 314�` Street is non -conforming with Fire Code. 10. Make access' pedestrian and emergency vehicle only. This is an option that will be presented to City Council. Per City Code, staff does not have the latitude to make the decision to use this option. 11. Connection would reduce property values. ss f concerns ing traffic This is a matter of debate. Some buyers prefer less cbce ecauseLof se ooncerris regarding demergency volumes and crime, and some prefer greater accessoptions response times. 12. People are already not stopping at stop signs. The only stop signs within the neighborhood are located at the allthe Neighborhood Traffic Safety Avenue SW/SW 319tr Street. This all way stop was installed under Program. If it is ineffective, the process to remove it can be engaged anytime with a petition signed by 10 residents. 13. Arterial standards are not met for the connection. File 407-103109-00-SU May 27, 2008 Page 4 of 5 The proposed connection would be classified as a minor collector, not an arterial. Thus, arterial standards do not need to be met. 14. Developer opposes. True, but not relevant. The connection is a City Code requirement. 15. Prohibit use of connection by construction vehicles. This is a condition that City staff would recommend to the Hearings Examiner to place on the preliminary plat approval. 16. Don't want traffic calming as mitigation. This will be the topic of discussion at the neighborhood meeting on May 29h. 17. Connection too steep for speed humps. The Council -adopted policy prohibits the placement of speed humps on grades exceeding 8%. If speed humps are proposed, they would have to be installed on street segments with grades less than 8%. 18. Connection "too steep to meet radius" We do not understand this terminology. "Steep" implies a reference to vertical alignment and "radius" implies a reference to horizontal alignment. 19. Headlight sweep impacts. There would be an increase in the use of headlights commensurate with the increase in traffic volumes. 20. King County agreed connection was dangerous. Soundview Manor's proposed roadways would meet all applicable road standards. The only roadway sections that do not are those that King County allowed to be constructed in 1976. 21. What code requires the connection? Attached are the applicable City Code and Comprehensive Plan policies. 22. City didn't prevent fatality on Hoyt Road. The recent fatality involved high speed and an intoxicated driver on an arterial road. There are no traffic calming measures that have proven effective at reducing the speed of intoxicated drivers. 23. City wasted money on curb ramps on Hoyt Road. Under case law associated with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the City is mandated to replace curb ramps whenever we overlay a street. We suggest you direct this comment to your federal representatives and the United States Access Board. 24. Conflict with golf carts. File #07-103109-00-SU May 27, 2008 Page 5 of 5 The only golf cart crossing that would be impacted by the development is on SW 313'h Street east of 41 Place SW. The TIA suggests that this would be impacted by an increase of 22 peak hour trips (averaging one vehicle every 2 minutes 43 seconds) or 212 daily trips. This would not impact the ability to find a gap in traffic to cross. 25. Development shouldn't access Dash Point Road. In order for the development to access SW Dash Point Road, the applicant needs to demonstrate conformance with City and State standards regarding the spacing and sight distance available from the access. These standards are met, so the City has no basis to deny access to SW Dash Point Road. 26. Collision history at 42nd Place SW at SW 314th Street. No collisions have been reported at this intersection from 1997 through 2006. If you have any additional transportation -related questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me. Please contact Senior Planner Deb Barker at 253.835.2642 with any other questions on the preliminary plat application. I hope to see you at the meeting on May 29, 3008.

Maintain existing and preserve future street connections vital to system integrity. TP 20: Take advantage of opportunities to open new road connections to create route alternatives, especially in areas with few access choices. TP 21: Enhance traffic circulation and access with closer spacing of through streets, unless geographical constraints do not permit. Limit the area to be served by a single access point commensurate with planned density. TP 37: Keep through traffic to state routes and arterials. Discourage the use of local or neighborhood streets for through movements (unless part of an overall process of creating a street grid). Federal Way City Code 20-151 (a): Subdivisions should be designed so that traffic is distributed in a logical manner toward a collector street system, to avoid intrusion and overburdening of residential streets, and to connect with planned or existing streets. 20-151 (c): No street or combination of streets shall function as a cul-de-sac longer than 600 feet. 20-151 (d): Block perimeters should be no longer than 1,320 feet for non -motorized access, and 2,640 feet for streets. 20-180 (e) Streets shall be provided to develop a street network with a block perimeter of no greater than 2,640 feet, as measured on centerlines. This requirement may be modified if connections cannot be made due to: (1) Topographical constraints. (2) Environmentally sensitive areas. (3) Adjacent development is not being conducive.

Currently Twin Lakes has children and grandchildren who play on the streets as well as many children who walk to school.. With all the cars which park on the street, traffic has to weave in and out just to clear the cars. The streets are already over crowded without additional traffic from Soundview Manor. Additionally, it has already been ruled that the slope of 314th SW does not meet Washington State requirements for a collector street and in fact, the slope exceeds the maximum slope allowed for mountainous highways. I don't understand why we are wasting tax payers money when previous studies by King County Traffic Engineers have already concluded that this proposed road would not be in the public's best interest due to the many safety concern?

Those deaths could have been prevented if I had done more than call the City and request that they consider installing devices which would inhibit speed on Hoyt Road in that vicinity a few years ago. We used to live four houses from Hoyt Road on SW 323rd Street and I would worry every morning when my wife tool the children to school that an irresponsible driver might come flying around that nearly blind turn and plow into her car. In order to avoid a collision on Hoyt Road I once had to turn my car into the oncoming traffic lane when a speeding car appeared from what seemed out of the blue. On another call to the City I made, a mart from the Planning Department drove out to talk to me to provide me with a reason why the City had to spend tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to carve out at least twenty handicap curb cuts along a quarter mile strip which links Hoyt Road with 320''' via 323rd and 43r0 Place. This in an area that already has gently sloped curbs. The reason the man from the Planning Department gave me was that the City was afraid of being sued if some Handicapped person became injured as a result of crossing the street where a handicapped ramp was not provided. With two dead, I think the speed inhibitor on Hoyt Road would have been a better investment. We have since moved to the cul-de-sac at 39"' Court SW which requires that we turn on to SW 317'hISW 314''' in order to exit from our neighborhood, which is my purpose for this letter. Your plan to extend and connect SW 314'h to a development which would give traffic a short-cut from Dash Point Road to SW 32e would create more problems than it would solve. This time rather that making a simple telephone call to the City I am submitting my thoughts in writing and, in order to promote public recognition of the hazards that would be created, I am also submitting this letter to the Federal Way Mirror. My voice was not heard before and two young men died, they would still be alive if the speed inhibitors I envisioned were installed years ago. Those who live on or near the single winding street formed by 42nd Avenue SW, SW 317 h Street, and SW 3le are aware of the potential hazards that increased traffic would inflict upon our neighborhood. 1. The street is not wide enough to allow for constant traffic. As it is now people are respectful and pull to the side of the road to allow opposing traffic to pass when one car is parked on one side of the road. When there are gatherings at one of the homes and cars are parked on both side of 314'h/317'h it is necessary to slow down to a near crawl to give way to oncoming traffic. V14 �R )3 I suggest that you and your crew park cars on both sides of the street along 310/317'b and simulate a simple drive through the neighborhood, particularly at the choke points created by the bends in the road. 2. Twin Lakes is a golf community, the only one in Federal Way, and, depending upon the fate of litigation at Northshore, possibly the only golf community within many miles. It is a community enhancement. One of the reasons the couple who bought our old house on SW 323`a did so was because it would put them in a golfing community (they are budgeting for a golf cart to get them to the Twin Lakes Golf Course) One of the advantages of living in a golf community is being able to drive your own golf cart to the course to play a round ofgolf. I see people, many being senior citizens, doing so every day and they often use SW 314'a/SW 317'b as part of their route. Think of the hazards created by constant traffic with transient drivers who are not accounting for the vulnerability of the'many golf carts that use that street. 3. The section of Twin Lakes that lies north of 320'b acts like a large cul-de-sac wherein only people who live there or are otherwise familiar with the area enter with the exception of service vehicles, and guests who are coming for the first time. What that creates is a population that has respect for the neighborhood and who are knowledgeable enough of the turns on the way to and from a particular residence to cut their speed. Transient traffic using SW314/SW317th to connect with 320'b or Dash Point Road who are merely passing through will not be as conscious of maintaining their speed. My 13 year -old and 8 year -old children walk those sidewalks and ride bicycles on the street to visit friends and the thought of vehicles passing at greater speeds is intolerable. 4. The rise on the hill on 314'b as it currently drops down toward Dash Point Road is steep to the extent that it is a favorite for kids who ride their sleds when it snows. The elevation change is such that an oncoming vehicle is not visible until the very last split second in an oncoming traffic situation, the slightest miscalculation can result in an incident either with children on the street or a vehicle turning from 42d Pl. onto SW 3 le (Please check this out for yourselves). The grade is also such that it would hinder larger fire and emergency vehicles accessing the area from Dash Point Road. 4. I was told that access for emergency vehicles from the station on Dash Point Road would be improved should SW 3I0 be connected to Dash Point Road. Why then is it that the emergency vehicles that serve our area that I have seen make their approach from east heading west to our community, the opposite direction that would be taken if they were coming from Dash Point Road? The majority of the emergency and police services that come to our area originate from east of us where most of the fire stations and the police department are located and the significance of those services coming to us from the Dash Point Road area are much less significant if not nil. 5. Providing more than one exit to our area invites criminal activity such as the burglary that took place at our home on SW 323'd a couple ofyears ago. SW 323'd Street turns into 43 d Place, so our street had exits to the main thoroughfares ofHoyt Road and 320'b and that made our home a target to burglars who knew they had two escape routes. Cutting an access to Dash Point Road provides criminals with another means of escape from our community. 6. We, like other residents, live where we do because it is a quiet area, and our property values are maintained because of that and the efforts of each resident to maintain their properties. If you make a thoroughfare of SW 3171b/SW 314'b, the increased traffic will serve to disturb that peace, and affect our property values which have already suffered in the current economy. Solutions such as widening the street would only exacerbate some of the problems I have mentioned. Speed inhibiting mechanisms will not reduce the amount of traffic, therefore, criminal activity will increase as a result of the flow of transient traffic. The implementation of your plan or proposal can only result in a I-) disintegration of the integrity of our neighborhood and create the potential for more tragedies such as the one that took the li►res of two young men on Hoyt Road.

I would like to add my 2 cents worth. Having lived in Federal Way for 36 years, and in our current Twin Lakes home for 16 years, there are a few things in our subdivision that none of the other Twin Lakes areas have. We are surrounded on three sides by ravines and hills that give us a dead end, no outlet area, with no through traffic. And unless this 314th street gets opened up, it will stay that way, forever. I remember what Division 1 & 2 were like in the early 60's. My folks were going to move out here from Seattle, or tear down and rebuild on Queen Anne Hill. We loved the peace and quiet of a home we saw on 25th SW & 324th. My dad couldn't live with the daily drive down Hwy 99 to Boeing, though, so we stayed in Seattle. When my wife and I saw our present home, it was like that same feeling again. What really amazes me, is we can sit on our back patio in the evening, and it is dead silent. We could be in Ravensdale. There's only minimal traffic on my street of 37th, and most everyone here respects their neighbors and drives accordingly. I can leave the windows open in summer and let the breezes come through, the fir trees whisper in the wind and it's like being way out in the hills. This is one of the main reasons we're retiring in this house. What 1 DON'T want is my area to be a shortcut to anywhere, and end up with high traffic and speed bumps, like 35th Ave SW is in division 9 & 10, from 324th to 3"th. That's how it got the nickname 1-35, Interstate 35. 1 realize it wouldn't be a shortcut, but actually take longer than going over to Hoyt Road to get to 320th. But there's always some whacko that has to use it that way. And then there's the safety/security concern. Smart thieves know they can get trapped with just two police cars. I like it. Granted, not all are Einstein's, but it narrows the odds. Also makes the wilder young ones think twice for the same reason. For the record, N O on opening up 310 to the proposed short plat Sincerely Dan & Ron Steuernagel 2 31701-37th Ave SW Federal Way, WA 98023 Deb Barker, Senior Planner City of Federal Way P.O.

I am very concerned about the proposal to open 314'" up to Soundview Manor which will provide an alternative shorter route from Dash Point Road to 320`h. This alternative mute passes through a residential neighborhood. Due to increased fuel costs and that "time is money", I believe there will be a marked increase in traffic, especially commercial. This will lead to safety issues, more noise and wear & tear. One of the significant positive attributes of Twin Lakes is the quiet neighborhood with local traffic only. Creating a short cut through our neighborhood will adversely impact the quality of life and potentially the value of my home. When Bay View Estates on Dash Point Road was built several years ago, a similar circumstance was encountered. A gate was built on 36'h Avenue which blocked off traffic between Twin Lakes and Marine View Estates and avoided establishing a short cut through residential neighborhoods. I respectfully request that the City of Federal implement a similar solution to 310 Street. If in the event the City elects to move forward with opening up 310 Street, I request that during the construction phase of Soundview Manor that all construction traffic be restricted from traveling through 314`h Street. Additionally, due to the increase in traffic there are a number of safety concerns. There are a number of uncontrolled intersections which will need to be marked with signage to prevent accidents. Again, I strongly encourage the City NOT to open up 3141h and to keep my neighborhood truly residential with limited traffic.

'There is a creek running directly t'r'orn the plat under Dash Point Road along the property lines of Lots 1, 2, and 3 along 441' Ave SW all the way to Dumas Bay. The volume of water goes from nothing to a raging river in minutes when it rains. The increase of water volume over the past few years has caused the two properties nearest Dash Point Road to complete major construction along the creek's edge to stop erosion. Last year numerous trees fell into the ravine due to erosion w1ule the rivers path has also been altered due to the increase in water volume. IT water volume is allowed to increase the flow thru this natural creek it could create extensive additional erosion causing even more trees to fall and creek banks to erode placing our homes in danger. There is also the concern of allowing additional contaminants to flow into Dumas Bay where this is already a problem with algae and other environmental issues on record. Although we have no objections to new homes and growth in the area, we do have a major concern for the safety of our homes and property. We have watched this dry creek bed, turn into a raging river in minutes over the past five years we have lived here. Allowing any additional water volume would -place the three adjacent homes in danger as well as adversely impact the land and property the remaining distance to Dumas Bay. Please take this creek into consideration when approving the design for Surface and Stormwater Management.

The issue of through traffic arose several years ago when it was proposed that 36th Avenue SW be extended, allowing traffic to cut through the residential area down to Dash Point Road and a new development. This was before our city was created; the county held hearings and did agree to the solution of a locked access gate that could opened by emergency personnel only. The primary objection to the 36th Avenue SW extension was not just the volume of traffic through a quiet street - it was also that the extension would be an overused shortcut and would also become a new challenge to youthful drivers. As you are probably aware, SW Dash Point Road as it drops to the shore has been the scene of racing (and fatalities) for years. We were concerned about having another "teen challenge". Hence, my objection to ext4 same as before - there wil: than anticipated, and this for more more accidents. A be an appropriate solution emergency vehicles. May I also request written will occur?

I am against having the road opened to through traffic for the following reasons: * The slope of the street is so steep that traveling downhill, one cannot see at street level approximately 10 feet forward of a vehicle bumper. At present the barrier dead end to the street precludes traveling down the street at any unsafe speed knowing the road abruptly stops. With no road barrier the incentive to proceed slowly down the hill is gone and this presents a very real danger to those of us who walk along this street. * Emergency vehicles can not transition down the street due to the rate of decline. In fact, we have seen emergency personnel park the fire truck and walk down the street to render assistance. * If opened this will create a Dash Point Road and 320th Street alternative connection not currently available. This route would be considerably shorter and for this reason traffic will increase drastically through this residential neighborhood. * School children attending Twin Lakes Elementary walk to and from school on the streets adjacent and connecting to 314th Street. Our children are not accustom to dodging oncoming traffic on these narrow streets.

We seriously disagree with the plan to punch through what is now a dead --end street to connect Twin Lakes to Dash Point Road. The area in question is a steep hill with blind intersection approaching the bottom. The effects of doing so include: Traffic where there was none previously Cars entering Twin Lakes as drivers look for new ways through the area An increase in crime, as there would be a new way to exit Twin Lakes Cars speeding downhill on 314h St In addition to those considerations, the streets in the existing neighborhood are so narrow that when cars are parked legally on both sides there is only space for a single lane of traffic.

Several neighborhoods in this area currently have access to a single road — one just adjacent to the new neighborhood site and several on Dash Point Road. The traffic headaches and safety implications of this proposed thoroughfare are significant. It would be irresponsible for the planning commission to ignore this fact. While we understand the logistics, we request that the commission consider the concerns of the neighborhood. Wouldn't a permanent gate (like the one on 36I' Avenue — Bayview) serve all of our needs?

NE, Puyallup, WA) plan to develop a site along the 4400 block of WE Dash Point Road in Federal Way Dear Ms. Barker: We wish to register our objections to the development of the 4400 Block of SW Dash Point Road, south of SW Dash Point Road, west of 42°d Place SW. Our objections are several: 1. Federal Way still remains an environmentally attractive area with wooded areas, scenic drives and an abundance of wildlife. Recently, however, the beautiful area south of the Aquatic Center on 348h has been quite literally raped for a huge development, and word has it that the wedge area north of Dash Point Road, across from the Metropolitan Market is slated for high density development. Other once beautiful areas ... for example, the region west of Hoyt Road at 3480, and the area above the water treatment plant on Dash Point Road, have in years not so far past also given way to development. Granted, some development is necessary in a growing area, but to turn the remaining most scenic places into high density housing is to ruin the very conditions that attracted many of our residents to move here over tht past years. The development described above, coming into a particularly scenic area, would have a devastating effect on the quality of life of those in the area, destroying a natural, scenic area and increasing traffic in an area that, despite its tranquil appearance, already experiences considerable noise pollution from Dash Point Road. Is Federal Way to become an ugly, crowded, noisy place, a city without natural beauty. Why? To pad the pockets of developers and their benefactors? surely the council and the Division of Building and Planning, can envision something better. 2. To cut a forest for housing, thereby destroying natural habitat and disrupting the lives of residents in the area, seems particularly uncalled for at a time when housing closures are rampant across the nation and there is a buyers' market. \�,t-1� ')3 3. In addition to the tranquility (despite road noise on Dash Point Road) of the area, both it and its immediate surroundings to the west (including Dumas State Park) are home to nesting great blue herons, pileated woodpeckers, ospreys, barred, great homed and, occasionally barn owls, varied thrushes and the relatively rare townsends solitaire, all birds that require fairly extensive, non -developed forest land. As forest is cut back for housing development, a point eventually will be reached where these species disappear. The impact of the proposed development is unlikely, by itself, to have such a dire impact, but it opens the way to the next development which, quite possibly, could push the habitat into such a state. 4. Despite the currently fairly low housing density in the general area of the proposed development, dash Point Road has become a major thoroughfare. Access to the proposed development from this road would vastly increase traffic congestion and noise, and would constitute a major, detrimental environmental impact for those living close to the road. If the development ultimately is allowed to proceed, please do not approve access to it from Dash Point Road. 5. City planners, being part and parcel of a democratically elected city government, have a responsibility to the city's residents. A city that has ... and to some extent still can ...boast of its beauty, should not dive recklessly into growth and development that destroy that beauty. It is that beauty that has drawn many past residents and that, if destroyed, will make Federal Way a far less pleasant place to live. What many residents of this city, and most recently those in the Twin Lakes and nearby regions, see is an apparently unplanned scramble to growth, with little or no concern for natural beauty, tranquility, or quality of life, and essentially no consideration whatsoever for current residents in areas slated for further development. All this, of course, may fatten the city's coffers. But isn't the purpose of those coffers to assure the city's residents' quality of life? If it does the opposite, it is a disservice to the residents and to the city as a whole. Exactly who benefits in such a case? Did we elect our government to pad certain pockets at our own expense? Before the City of Federal Way charges straight ahead, further into potential disaster, how about having the citizens see ... and vote on ... a comprehensive plan for the future growth that almost inevitably is to occur here? Is there such a plan? If no, why not? And if so, where can Federal Way residents go to see it ... and act on it?

The grade is approximately 19 As all of you are aware, this steep grade can not be made to meet current safety standards. There are also places on this section of street where the sight distance of drivers is severely reduced. Those of us that live in the immediate vicinity cope with near misses of each other on a regular basis by recognizing the danger and being very cautious. Should the street be opened up we will have a substantial number of continually new drivers on S.W. 314th Street, so that good fortune can not be counted on to prevent death and bodily harm from the accident that will occur. The children who live in the immediate area will walk to and from the nearby elementary school in this very hazardous zone. The danger to all who use our sidewalks will be increased. The City of Federal Way and the Council Members will be individually and collectively responsible for this future stream of foreseeable accidents and negative life changing consequences of these accidents. With these thoughts in mind, we ask that S.W. 314th Street not be extended. Sinc rely, "Adams Gary d Judith cc: Federal Way City Council fox ';y C-ugewe avA mdta mowtgovu.erd 3:L 420 42"d T>Laee S.

King County tax parcel numbers 112103- 9060 and 112103-9119, Federal Way, WA 98023 We are writing regarding the above parcel of land and the proposed development. We are opposed to the suggested development or ANY development of this land for a number of reasons as follows: 1. We are very concerned that our environment is being compromised every time we cut down wooded areas. We are the °Evergreen State" but will soon be approaching "Concrete Jungle." We see so many "for lease, for rent, for sale' signs. Do we really need yet another development? A recent development was built on Hoyt Road — are those all sold? What is the vacancy rate for commercial and residential? Why does the City of Federal Way keep cutting down trees only to put up more buildings — residential and commercial — which then stand vacant? We think it's time that you, as our City Representatives, step up and join the Green Revolution and put a moratorium on ANY building in the City — especially when it involves destroying our environment. This particular development is home to wildlife and right next to a Blue Heron's Nest — which are not to be disturbed. You don't think cutting down the surrounding area will disturb the Blue Heron? 2. We are also concerned about safety issues that the extension of SW 314th Street to Dash Point Road will bring. The roads in the Twin Lakes area are not designed to accept more traffic. There is a large grade hill on SW 314th and 42°d Place on three different locations. It is difficult to see traffic coming from two of those intersections. Forty Second Place is too narrow to handle the traffic it now receives. When one vehicle is parked on the street it is difficult for two other vehicles to pass each other and impossible when a vehicle is parked on both sides. We have a home o� �� across the street from us (you know the one) that we heard could have up to 14 people living in it at one time. That means more vehicles, more children. With increased traffic will come increased accidents and injuries. It is also very congested at 320th and 42nd Avenue when the Twin Lakes Elementary School children are leaving for the day and their parents are picking them up along that street. Many times children have run across the street without looking and were nearly hit with a vehicle. Adding more traffic to that scenario could be disastrous. We hope you will take our comments and others into consideration and deny the application for destroying yet another wildlife area.

King. County tax parcel numbers 112103-9060 and 112103- 911.9, Federal Way, WA 98023 I am against having the road opened to through traffic for the following reasons: ■ The slope of the street is so steep that traveling downhill, one cannot see at street level approximately 10 feet forward of a vehicle bumper. At present the barrier dead end to the street precludes traveling down the street at any unsafe speed knowing the road abruptly stops. With no road barrier the incentive to proceed slowly down the hill is gone and this presents a very real danger to those of us who walk along this street. ■ Emergency vehicles can not transition down the street due to the rate of decline. In fact, we have seen emergency personnel park the fire truck and walk down the street to render assistance. • If opened this will create a Dash Point Road and 320th Street alternative connection not currently available. This route would be considerably shorter and for this reason traffic will increase drastically through this residential neighborhood. ■ School children attending Twin Lakes Elementary walk to and from school on the streets adjacent and connecting to 314th Street. Our children are not accustom to dodging oncoming traffic on these narrow streets. Aemly, f�t Glen Steele 31316 42nd PI SW May 18, 2008 RE: Connection of Dash Point Rd.to 310 St., in Twin Lakes Deb Barker, Senior Planner City of Federal Way 33325 8h Ave. S. PO Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98063-9718 Dear Ms. Barker: RECEIVED BY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MAY 1 g 2008 I have become increasingly concerned about the proposed connection of Dash Point Rd. to 314th St. in Twin Lakes. This connection to Dash Point Road is one block from my house and since I live close to this area, I want to inform you of the impact this will have on the community. As background to this situation, I want to give you my perspective as a distrustful homeowner, two houses away from the half -way house, group home on 421a Ave. SW - That the Federal Way City Council not only approved this house in my neighborhood but also used tax -payer money to fund it, contributes to why I have concerns over the judgment of City Council and whether they have the homeowner's best interest in mind. This brings me to the issue at hand. First, the hill we live on is very steep and many of the cars who travel this hill go much faster than the 25mph of a residential street. In fact, it is so steep that we have had a snow plow get stuck on the hill and makes me doubt the rationale that it will give better access to emergency vehicles, entering from Dash Point Road. There are already two entrances to our community with easy access from the east and south. Second, I have witnessed three accidents at the intersection of 42°d Ave SW and 310 St, at my house. The first, since there are no stop signs, was a car coming down the lull at a high rate of speed and a car trying to make it up the hill at a high rate of speed, colliding at this intersection. The second, was a drunk who was wandering without purpose, and crashed into the yard across the street. Third, was a truck that slipped out of gear, ran down the hill at a great rate of speed, taking out a mailbox, tree and finally a car. These are examples of how dangerous and steep this hill is. Third, because of the curvature of the hill, backing out of our driveway is blind to oncoming drivers. Because the lull is so steep, and cars pick up speed as they go down it, we have nearly been hit on several occasions. Increasing the traffic flow on this street will only make all of these situations more plentiful and dangerous. As a result of the increased traffic flow and my concerns for the judgment of City Council noted in my background paragraph, I am not confident that City Council has the best interests of there constituents in mind. Knowing of the above situations and that a \,,�ONa-7 decision to open 314th St. to Dash Point Rd. would only aggravate the traffic, I feel the City would be negligent to open this street to increased traffic. Last, I would like to point out the precedent that has been set with the gate to Bayview Estates. The Gate to Bayview went through the hearing process years ago, has worked well, protecting the homeowners of Twin Lakes and protecting the integrity of the community. Increased traffic flow would expose our community to more crime and decrease our home values similar to the effect of the group home. Please, this time, listen to the homeowners, and respect our perspective. Who better would understand this particular situation than the homeowner who lives on the street. Sincerely, Robert J. Snyder, MD Esther G Trinidad 4160 SW 314" Street Federal Way, WA 98023 May 13, 2008 Deb Barker, Senior Planner City of Federal Way PO Box 9718 Federal Way, Wa 98063 RE: Notice of Land Use Application Soundview Manor Preliminary Plat COMMUNITYDEVELOPMENB DEPARTMENT MAY 19 2008 The enclosed article published in the "Seattle Times" seems to come at a perfect time to make us take notice of the affect this proposed development would have on the Sound and adjacent home owners. This parcel is on a ravine(dry creek bed) with very steep grades heading directly down hill to the sound. The soil is held in place by the vegetation. Remove the trees and hold the soil in place with retaining walls and pavement? Do we really want Federal Way to grow as a city at any cost?

The bulldozers and excavators followed, scraping away the topsoil and leveling the land to golf - course smoothness. By this summer, the first of 166 homeowners will move here, to a place called McCormick Woods, west of Port Orchard in r(Ilsap County and a mile upstream from Puget Sound It's an unremarkable transformation that happens every day. And its one of the biggest threats to Puget Sound. The way we grow is undermining our promises to Protect and restore Puget Sound, and could hobble a new rescue plan on which we may be asked to commit as much as $16 billion on top of the $9 billion we already expect to spend by 2020. It happens one creek at a time as bulldozers and pavement disrupt the natural flow of water through the ecosystem, destroying habitat and sending billions of gallons of polluted runoff into the Sound. At McCormick Woods the next victim is Anderson Creek, once one of the most unspoiled streams flowing to Sinclair Inlet Today, there are plans to build hundreds of homes around it. "Bye-bye, Anderson Creek," said Ed O'Brien, a stomlwater engineer for the state Department of Ecology, Even as we continue to push to protect Puget Sound, the entire effort is up against the fact that we also need to make room for as many as 4 million more people who could move here this century. And as we do, we are gradually eating away at the Sound's finely tuned water -cleaning system by leveling as much as 10,000 acres of forest every year, There's no overt conspiracy to hurt the Sound. Instead, the damage is happening in the pursuit of cheaper land and economic development, a longing for big backyards and a resistance to http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm]/localnewsl2004405985_growth Storinwater2OmO.ht... 5/13/2008 Local News I The painful cost of booming growth I Seattle Times Newspaper Page 2 of 5 urban density, and a need to keep home prices within reach of average people. There are success stories. Cities no longer routinely pump partially treated sewage into the water. Some of the most polluted places, such as bays next to cities, are getting cleaned up. Some toxic chemicals are on the decline in animals. Factories today are much more restricted than 40 years ago in the pollution they pump into the Sound. Yet we still struggle to protect Puget Sound and I at the same time make room for everyone to live the way they want. • Efforts to regulate stormwater are politically 1 toxic, and state officials have balked at tougher, J more costly controls. • The developments we allow lag behind the latest stormwater designs, because many county and city goverments are still using 16-year-old rules. q, • Even the newest engineering standards, some of the strictest in the country and ones that could add ` thousands of dollars to the cost of a home, aren't enough to stop the damage. j • Perversely, developers who try promising new approaches to addressing stormwater face red tape ' that creates costly delays or hurts effectiveness. 'The implications for the Sound are dire,' said Gene Duvemoy, president of the Cascade Land Conservancy, a Seattle -based nonprofit that works to preserve undeveloped land. "Puget Sound is a funnel. Anything that we do at the top end of the funnel comes out at the bottom end" The damage runoff does Four decades ago, stormwater runoff wasn't considered an environmental problem. After all, it wasn't chemical pollution pouring from factory pipes or sewage plants. So builders dug ditches and laid pipes I to send runoff to the handiest stream. The result was quiet environmental decay. Surging water flooded and scoured streams. Rain rushed off roads and rooftops, washing pollution i into rivers. i Today, stormwater flowing into Puget Sound is a slow-motion oil spill, amounting to millions of gallons a year. Leaking septic tanks ruin shellfish beds. Pesticides wash off lawns into streams. Copper poisons E salmon, scrambling their ability to smell predators. Toxic flame retardants used in everything from II televisions to mattresses enter the Puget Sound food chain, winding up in harbor seals and orcas. Dirt } smothers fish eggs. fCoho salmon have been filmed going belly -up in Seattle streams after encountering a gush of stormwater. Creeks now go dry in the summer because we've messed with the groundwater that used , to replenish them. The state first tried to tackle the problem 16 years ago. In 1992, the state Department of Ecology issued an engineering manual describing how to build the pipes and ponds that cope with the rainwater flowing from developments around Puget Sound. The approach called for channeling water into big holding ponds, where water would dribble out, reducing creek erosion from uncontrolled gushes. Dirt and pollutants would settle to a pond's bottom instead of washing out to creeks and eventually the Sound. But within a few years, it became dear the designs weren't working well enough. The man-made holding ponds were too small to handle a good Puget Sound winter soaker. j So Ecology tried again with new engineering manuals that called for bigger and more costly ponds to I catch even more stormwater. But the state didn't make them mandatory. So most local jurisdictions haven't made changes. At McCormick Woods near Port Orchard, Kitsap County commissioners promised in 2003 to require builders to follow the most up-to-date stormwater standards. At the same time, they approved what will http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htmUlocalnews/2004405985_rowth_stormwater20m0.ht... 5/13/2008 Local News I The painful cL of booming growth I Seattle Times Ne, gaper Page 3 of 5 amount to a small city with a business park, shopping, and more than 4.000 homes and apartments, ranging from big houses along a golf course to modest ones aimed at first-time buyers. Yet they didn't change any county stormwater rules. Kitsap County still follows the 1992 manual. That's not unusual. Snohomish, Skagit, Pierce, Thurston, Mason and Island counties all follow the 1992 manual, and so do countless cities. Kbap County hasn't wanted to commit the lime and effort to overhaul its engineering standards, whieh it adopted in 1997• said Jeff Rowe-Hombaker, assistant director of the Community Development ❑eparime nt. He also questioned the worth of the state's newer standards. "Until it's mandated, most organizations don't really act," he said. New rules, same problems Now most local governments don't have a choice. The Ecology Department plans to force many, including Kitsap County. to adapt its newest stormwater engineering manual by August 2009. But scientists — and even the Ecology Department's own experts — say the new standards won't protect Puget Sound either. The simple fact is this: Its nearly impossible to get pipes and ponds to imitate a forest. The new stormwater designs screen out some pollution, but not all of it And pavement still prevents rain from soaking into the ground. Even a little development can do a lot of damage. Stonnwater scientists have found that when the amount of roads, rooftops and parking lots surrounding a stream — called "impervious surfaces" — goes above even 5 percent, it means environmental decline. That's trouble for Anderson Creek at McCormick Woods, currently home to steelhead, coho and chum -salmon runs. When construcrion is finished, the creek is expected to be 40 percent surrounded by impervious surface. At that lavel, scientists expect a big drop in wildlife, including fish, songbirds I and amphibians. Two years ago, a group of 14 scientists and engineers finally had enough. They wrote a letter to a 2006 Puget Sound commission appointed by Gov. Chdstine Gregoire, saying "little hope should be held for restoration of Puget Sound" if sweeping changes weren't made to address stormwater The scientists called for severely restricting new construction near healthy streams, stopping deforestalion, engineering developments to let rain soak into the ground, and replacing antiquated stormwater sys terns. But the proposal was dismissed as "wholly unrealistic and naive" by the Master Builders of King and Snohomish Counties, one of the state's most powerful building lobbies. The association's executive, Sam Anderson, said new stormwater systems hadn't been used long enough to declare them a failure. Ignored, developers say, is the cost more regulation adds to the price of new homes, putting them further out of reach of average people. Builders complain that the newest stormwater requirements will add thousands to the casts of building each house. They point to a new study from a University of Washing:an economist saying land -use regulations have already added 2200,001] to the price e, an average Seattle home. Peter Orser, president of Quadrant Homes of Bellevue, the arm of Weyerhaeuser that starts five new homes around Puget Sound every workday, argues that new -home builders shouldn't bear all the burdens of restoring Puget Sound. After all, there are plenty of older neighborhoods that dump stormwater into the Sound with virtually no control. "We don't go in there to rape the land," he said. "Everything we do is done in the lowest -impact development we can." Do permits have teeth? This is the climate that Jay Manning, the state Ecology director, landed in last year when he announced reforms meant to change the way we deal with stormwater. Manning praised the new approach as "one of the most important steps that this agency has taken in many years" to deal with the problem. But the new rules — contained in a permit most cities and counties need under the Federal Clean Water Act — were compromised from the start because of opposition from business and local governments. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htmUlocalnews/2004405985_growth_stonnwater20m0.ht... 5/13/2008 Local News I The painful cost of booming growth I Seattle Times Newspaper Page 4 of 5 Under the permit rules, which the Ecology Department wrote, dozens of Puget Sound cities and counties would finally have to start following Ecology's latest engineering manual. To upgrade antiquated stormwater systems in most places around the Sound, developers who tear down an old building to put up a new one would need to control more runoff. -And some counties and cities, for the first time, would have to start monitoring stormwater systems to see if they work. But Mike Grady, a top policy adviser for the Seattle office of the National Marine Fisheries Service, the i federal agency in charge of protecting Puget Sound chinook and orcas, says the permit doesn't go far j enough. It sets no limits on the amount of toxic chemicals allowed in stormwater, he said. The permit also doesn'trequire any of the latest, environmentally friendly development methods. "To me it comes down to, when are you going to draw a line in the sand and say, These standards I are not protective to fish, so let's not pretend that they are,"' Grady said. i The Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the fisheries service have told the state Ecology Department that the permit should go further. But department leaders have been unwilling to try, in part because of politics, according to internal memos. + In 2003, Bill Moore, the department's lead stormwater-policy 11 adviser, acknowledged in a memo to top !- Ecology department managers that fully protecting water quality would require much stricter rules. But that would mean a bruising backlash from business and local government that could hurt the chances for progress, he said. Moore recommended that the department instead aspire to a permit that was "adequate -to -good." For example, the Ecology Department decided counties and cities can let developers in most places off the hook in following the new standards, if they build on less than an acre. That was despite opposition from some of the agency's own experts, who warned research showed many small developments could add up to significant damage. Environmental groups are now suing the Ecology Department to get tougher rules. But on the other side, a host of cities and counties are suing to block the new permit, which they argue is unduly burdensome and costly. In a recent interview, Moore defended his agency's position. Stormwater permits alone, he said, can't conquer a much more fundamental issue affecting Puget Sound: where and how we build. Think low -impact So where and how should we be building around Puget Sound, a place where millions of new residents will all want their own places to call home? Environmentalists and some developers say low -impact development is one answer. The state is starting to promote it, and some local governments say they want to change their rules to allow it. It turns out it's easier said than done. The idea sounds simple: Design developments to act more like forests by allowing rainwater to soak into the ground through permeable pavement with tiny holes. Build special gardens to soak up the rain that sluices from gutters. Some even suggest building houses on short columns that leave the forest floor untouched. But the concept runs up against decades of habits and rules: the assembly -line methods of major developers, concerns that low -impact methods are unproven and bureaucrats wedded to old methods. Today, only a few adventurous developers dare to try new approaches. But many complain of costly delays, roadblocks and outright opposition from government officials resistant to trying something new. At McCormick Woods, Kitsap County promised to encourage developers to use these low -impact techniques. But there's little sign of it at a new Quadrant Homes project under construction there. The company says that a layer of tough, claylike earth — a common problem in Western Washington — makes novel approaches to stormwater management unworkable because the water won't quickly soak into the ground. Quadrant made a similar argument in Snoqualmie, persuading the City Council to reject a plan requiring low -impact development for much of its massive Snoqualmie Ridge development. The company is trying it in a few places there. Still, Orser, Quadrant's president, says he's afraid the low -impact approach will make homes hard to sell to people unaccustomed to the look. He also worries the novel strategies will fail if homeowners don't maintain things like rain gardens. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htmlllocalnewsl2004405985_rowth stonnwater2OmO.ht... 5/13/2008 Local News I The painful a of booming growth I Seattle Times Ne . paper Page 5 of 5 But some of the area's top low -impact experts say the builders are copping out, and low -impact methods can still work with customized approaches to each project, instead of cookie -cutter formulas. "It's way easier for those guys to come in and do what they've always done until there's some regulation that comes in and tells them to do something else," said Curtis Hinman of Washington State University, who has written a widely used manual on low -impact development Partners in restoration In 2007, with huge fanfare, the Legislature approved a new state agency, The Puget Sound Partnership. It's supposed to lead a restoration of the Sound by 2020. As it formulates an overarching strategy, its leaders have vowed that stonmwater and development issues will be prominent parts of the effort. "We have to grow differently," said David Dicks, the partnership's executive director. "There's just no two ways about it." In a recent draft report, a group of experts convened by the partnership called for a dramatic overhaul of the state's myriad environmental laws, instead creating a single set of rules governing the land around Puget Sound. It also recommended a single group or superagency to oversee the new regulations. "We do not reach this conclusion lightly," said the report, which is meant to be part of a broader study underpinning the final cleanup plan. "However, in this case we believe it is warranted. The region has tried the uncoordinated, diffuse approach and it has not achieved success." But the Puget Sound Partnership has little power to create rules or enforce standards. Instead, the agency has been assigned the task of writing a recovery plan, doling out money to governments and nonprofit groups, drumming up public support and nudging local and state agencies in the right direction. Brad Ack, who headed the state's previous Puget Sound agency, the Puget Sound Action Team, points to recent compromises as a possible preview of things to come. The govemor's 2006 Puget Sound commission recommended incremental improvements in the handling of stormwater, triggering criticism from scientists who said it wasn't nearly enough. When the commission responded by suggesting a task force to look at the problem, the builders' lobby fought back. The task force was quietly scrapped. Stonnwater was "the gorilla in the room that we came right up to and touched ... but nobody was willing to confront," said Ack, who now works for a group that promotes sustainable seafood harvesting. "People just said, We don't have time to deal with that It's too controversial. It's too complex.'

ESPEC)<ALLY, do we object to the using of SW 314th Street as throughway access to the aforetmentioned propem I We are opposed the developer's proposal to subdivide two, currently - wooded, "vacant" lots into 28 single-family residential lots '`on the steeply sloped site, and - ADDMONALLY, do we object to the developer's presumption that on SW Dash Point Road, construction of storm drainage facilities, and utility improvements" would sotiichow mitigate the adverse impact such dn-elopment would have upon "the Category II Wetland located west of the subject site". upon "the (traditional) Great Blue Heron nesting site located south of and E jdtl n 9 the subject site", and upon the long-standing tranquility currently enjoyed by residents of the adjacent T«in Lakes and Dumas Bay neitrbborlioods. We have resided at our Twin Lakes address since 1977 and have, over the past nearly 31 years, frequently observed Blue Herons, Pileated Woodpeckers, and assorted hawk species nesting within and around the subject property-, we have heard osprey and bald eagles there by day and Barred owls there by night. Simply because "a (single) Great Blue Heron nest" was found nearby the site is no reason to conclude that the site itself has not served as a multi -nest rookery in the past or that development of the site would not discourage herons from continuing to nest upon on adjacent land. In our view, such green belts as the proposed development site represents are precious necessities to maintaining both quality of life for community residents of all ies and, parenthetically, to supporting property values for homeowners.

WE WISH TO NOTIFY YOU OF OUR OPPOSITION to the development of the 4400 Block of SW Dash Point Road, south of SW Dash Point Road, west of 42" � Place SW at SW 314' Street `as extendeai"--Kng County tax parcel numbers 112103-9WO and 112103-9119, Federal Way, WA 98023. ESPECIALILY, do we object ' -to the use of SW 31e Street as throughway access to the aforementioned properly! We are opposed to the developer's proposal to subdivide two, currently wooded, `vacant' lots into 28 single-family residential lots "on the steeply sloped site"; and ADDITIONALLY, do we object to the developer's presumption that "improvements on SW Dash Point Road, construction of storm drainage facilities, and utility improvements" would somehow mitigate the adverse impact such development would have upon "the Category 11 Wefiand located west of the subject site, upon "the (traditional) Great Blue Heron nesting site located south of rand within!) the subject site", and upon the long-standing tranquility currently enjoyed by residents of the adjacent Dumas Bay and Twin Lakes neighborhoods. We have lived at our present address— South West 313� Street, west of 44t` Avenge South West, and adjacent to the intersection of South West Dash Point Road and 47�' Avenue South West —since October 2001. During the past nearly seven years, we have frequently observed Great Blue Herons, Pileated Woodpeckers, and several species of hawk nesting within and around the subject property; we have seen osprey and bald eagles there during the day and heard Barred owls there at night. A traditional multi -nest rookery for Great Blue Heron has existed in the woods adjacent to the ParklBird Sanctuary at Dumas Bay each year since we moved here and, according to neighbors, for decades prior. Simply because "a (single?) Great Blue Heron nest" was found "south" of the proposed development site is no reason to suppose that the site ifseff has not served as a multi -nest rookery in the past or that development of the site would not discourage herons from continuing to nest upon on adjacent land. In our view —one shared by many of our neighbors --such green belts as the subject site represents are precious to maintaining both quality of life for community residents of all species and, parenthetically, to supporting property values for homeowners. We question the wisdom of Westbrook Investments, LLC of Puyallup, WA and of -their agent, Laurie Harvey, with CES NW, Inc. of Fife, WA in discounting both: the limitations of a site that is watershed to a Category II wetland, and the safety/noise concerns of residents around and within the proposed multi - home development when the site itself is termed "steeply sloped" and additional road access is to be via an existing steeply sloped road—i.e. South West 314�' Street. Additiona!fy, that portion of 314"' Street is directly in -line with the street on which we Iive—South West 31e Street —and we shudder to think about the additional traffic noise and night-time light `pollution' that removal of forest for any connection of 314`r' Street to South West Dash Point Road via the proposed development site would create. Furthermore, we question the wisdom of those in your office which, by allowing connecting construction for the proposed development, would be exhibiting complete lack of consideration... (continued ■ Page 2 May 16, 2008 ...for neighboring Federal Way residents, many of whom have been living in and paying taxes to King County long before Federal Way was incorporated, and, moreover, who have been paying taxes to support a city government which exists not only to collect taxes but to respect and uphold the will of its ctzenlconstituents. There is a disturbing pattern of allowed over development and of a lack of foresight on the:part of city planners that has become apparent within the City of Federal Way (The City) over the last few years. This is evidenced by the systematic "saturation development" permitted by The City in which more people are invited into a city that seems to exhibit sensitivity only toward the interests of the business community, developers in particular, with no consideration for the needs and wishes of its residents: more protected green space; more areas set aside for recreation & play [when -was the last created'[); more intelligent designlretrodesign of intersections [e.g. the intersection at SW 356th Street and 21st Avenue S. with the transition to 22nd Avenue S. is already overtaxed and The. City's ill -planned "solution" was destined to become obsolete even before the recent roadwork there was completed! — where was the opportunity for public input on that project?! The best solution—realigdng:21st;Avenue with 22nd Avenue around the Shell station and through a portion of the parking area NW of the intersection of 356th Street and 21st Avenue —disappeared when the city approved the; building permit for the new building in that location!); and better access between 1-5 and main city thoroughfares :[the mess at SR 1815. 348th Street116th Avenue S./Enchanted Parkway/Pacific Hwy S.IS.356th Street continues to get worse with no apparent attempt made at a solution, yet The City continues to allow rampant, seemingly unchecked development in the immediate area —Crossings & Federal Way Marketplace —with no regard for the additional pressure the encouraged concentration of traffic in,that area would have on an already over -burdened road systemij. The City seems to want to attract more people to this area yet continues to, make,, --no plans to accommodate additional residents once they are here. Instead of holding developers,,,both.pommercial and residential, accountable for negatively impacting local traffic, our city planners and those in the land -use office have adopted a "build what you wanYwherever you wantthowever you want" attitude toward developers; and, in turn, residents are left with virtually no improvement to local infrastructure to few as theiic, planted sidewalk strips which Federal Way taxpayers inevitably pay to have maintained) and the bill: for providing quality public education and school facilities and resources for MORE students, for enlarging. roads to accommodate MORE baffic,,for.providing services for MORE people. The City of Federal Way is blessed to be situated in such a beautiful part of the Puget Sound Legion and, indeed, in such a beautiful part of the world. But The City needs to act sensiNy and responsibly on behalf of its citizens by saying "No" to developers once in a while in order to protect that_ which remains of what drew people --including us —to this.area in the first place. We do not want our community to become —as it continues to he hull -dozing toward just another area jammed with malls and fast food places that is indistinct frown! any othergas stop along the 1-5 corridor!!

Box 9718 Federal Way WA 98063-9718 Michael and Mary Kate Dudley 4120 SW 315th Street Federal Way, WA 98023 Soundview Manor Preliminary Plat Dear Ms Barker, 414 YIs ���NT�EP grlc9EN 2008 t We would like to open this letter by thanking you and the other members of the City of Federal Way for your efforts toward making our community a wonderful place to live. Through your efforts we have seen many improvements in our infrastructure, most notably traffic improvements in our more congested areas, i.e. 320th and I-5 and highway 18 and Enchanted Parkway. Thank you for your ongoing efforts. As members of the Twin Lakes community we would like to bring some concerns to your attention regarding the impact of the continuation of SW 314th Street into the planned Soundview Manor development. Our first concern is for the community as a whole and regards traffic changes that may result from this proposed change. The streets in our section of Twin Lakes are narrow and, with all the cars parked along our roads, most notably 42nd Ave SW, there are already traffic issues without the additional traffic this development will create. Another issue in our community is the traffic, both foot and auto, created by Twin Lakes Elementary School. Parents park along 42nd Ave SW near the comer of 320th to pick up their children after school. While this practice does not currently create a problem for the current level of traffic, the city must look at the effects that Soundview Manor traffic will have on the school traffic as well as the safety of the children in this area. Since there are no traffic signs in Twin Lakes community the traffic through our community tends to operate at a rather fast pace and has a tendency to not stop at corners prior to making turns. The additional traffic from the Soundview Manor development will invariably add to this unhealthy mix of traffic. This, coupled with the parking on both sides of our narrow streets, will only add to an unhealthy mix off traffic. Finally as a family we have issues with the traffic issues that Soundview Manor will have on our location at the corner of 42 Ave SW and SW 315th Street. Our driveway is located right at the "T" where 42nd Ave meets SW 315th Street and the current situation N-�o�- 3) makes getting into and out of our driveway iTlteMsting at best. In order to pull out you must clear in three directions when pulling out and we are not looking forward to trying to merge into the additional flow of traffic this new development will create. And, while we are at it, let's admit it will not be only the Soundview Manor traffic we will be contending with it is also all the other traffic that will be taking the shortcut from 509 to 320th! Recent sales in our neighborhood have brought our little area younger families that we welcome to our community however we also worry about these young, 6 through 12 years of age, having to live with this additional traffic near the intersection of 42 Ave SW and SW 315th Street. Also on 41st Ave SW near the corner of SW 315th Street we have two deaf children and we worry about the affects this additional traffic burden will have on them. As an alternative to the opening of SW 314th Street to 509 we would like to suggest that the city consider doing what the city has done in other parts of Twin Lakes and is a common practice throughout Western Washington, having emergency access available when necessary. Although this might not be the best situation it should be the only solution until other infrastructure changes are made that will actually alleviate the anticipated traffic increases. We are confident that given the City's forward -looking mien that you will do the right thing. Please take these concerns to heart when making your decision. Any decision you make will affect how we live in Twin Lakes. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration in this matter. kchael I Dudley 1 ;1 Mary Kate Dudley 71?Epq�T Y 9ge r d' � a rrr f �.c. -ZJ - -- 1�512�1Z1]0$ Deb 8aricer - Soundview ManorlFiye a -mail Page From: Deb Barker To: donflye@webtv.net CC: Greg Fewins Date: 5/20/2008 8:45 AM Subject: Soundview Manor/Flye e-mail Mr. Flye - Thank you for your a -mails dated May 13, 2008 and May 19, 2008.

In response to your inquiry, submitted drawings depict the extension of SW 314th Street into the plat in conformance with Federal Way City Code standards.

The apparent short schedule was overlooked perhaps due to this eventuating after two or three years of preliminary activty. In any case I emailed D. Barker on May 13 and received no response relative to whether the City had made a decision regarding the extension of 314th Steet. My file may not be complete however notwithstanding letters to the City by Mike McLeod President of the Board, Twin Lakes Homeowners Association dating back to December 20, 2005 I find no notification that the City had decided to extend 314th Street or any response from the City relative to this. Perhaps I do not understand the process but we consider this a very serious matter and it seems strange that the question has not been discussed very extensively during the past few years. 06ge.2 {512i71Ztia8} Deb Barker Swllnf�y eW Mangr/Ffye e-mail _ In view of the successful precedent established over the past fifteen or so years with the use of a gate to control traffic along 35th Street where Twin Lakes and Bayview Estates meet and provide an additional exit I cannot imagine why the extension of 314th Street should be an issue at all. In any case I am herewith requesting that every possible consideration be given to the Letter dated May 25, 2007 addressed to "All homeowners in Divisions 5 and 5 and forwarded to the City Council by Silas C. and Jean Madison by endorsement. Presumably this letter is available in the City files. The extension of 314th Street is among other considerations considered extremely dangerous, potentially and probably seriously negative relative to property values, and, unnecesasary considering the precedent mentioned above.

Box 330310 Seattle, WA 98133-9710 206-440-4000 TTY: 1-800-833-6388 www.wsdot.wa.gov The subject project proposes to construct 28 single family units located in the Federal Way area. The project site is located on the south side of SR509/Dash Point Road at approximately MP 9.30. A new access -driveway is to be provided by a driveway onto SR509. We have reviewed the Transportation Impact Analysis prepared for the above referenced development and we offer the following comments: 1. The introduction of the north access on SR509, which is a continuation of SW 314th St., will partially redirect the existing trips from the neighborhood to the north access instead of the SW 320th St and 42nd Ave SW US. Therefore, it is important to capture the change of the existing trip distribution in the analysis and Figures 7 & 8. 2. Page 6 — SW Dash Point Road (SR-509) section: please classify SR509 as an Urban -Minor Arterial. 3. The subject project poses no significant impact to SR509 operation. However, even with meeting sight distance, due to such heavy vegetation along SR509, it is recommended that all overgrown vegetations at the proposed north access driveway be cleared for better visibility. Discussion can be added to the Sight Distance at Access Driveways section — page 9. An access permit is also required for the proposed access on SR 509. 4. For documentation purposes, please provide LOS analysis for the SR 509 and 47th Ave SW intersection.

Their letter dated March 12, 2007, is enclosed. To date, a formal preliminary plat application has not been submitted to the city, nor have we received a copy of the TIA reviewed by WSDOT. If you wish to have city comments on the TIA prior to a formal application, four copies of the study must be submitted with a review deposit of $2,720.00.' Additionally, the City has adopted new policies to address review of traffic impacts for the PM peak hour. A concurrency application will be required to be submitted with the preliminary plat application. This application fee is expected to be $1,448.00, based on the proposed 28 lots. The concurrency application applies to the PM peak hour and trips generated by the site greater than 1 (one) PM peak hour trip. Information from the TIA pertaining solely to the PM peak hour is not considered part of the review deposit as noted above, but will be considered under the concurrency application for determination of PM peak hour impacts to 6-year Traffic Improvement Program (TIP) pro-rata share calculations, as well as a concurrency determination.

Based upon the findings of Habitat Technologies and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, we believe this nest is inactive. At this time a 300 foot buffer is proposed to allow for protection of this nest in the event it becomes active. Our biologist visited the site in the fall/winter of 2005 and again in July/August 2007 and did not note any heron activity or other like birds. Additionally there were no reports of Heron activity in the vicinity had been made to WDFW until our plat had been proposed to the City. Since the nest is approximately 90' west of the populated area of Twin Lakes, and near what appears to be a heavily traversed walking path, the likelihood is that the nest has been abandoned due to existing human intrusion. It is our contention that a 300' proposed buffer provides a more than adequate separation for an inactive nest. I have enclosed mapping of the site with buffers as well as documentation from our Wetland consultants. If you require additional information please do not hesitate to contact us. We trust that this meets your needs at this time to consider this application complete. Regards, Lori L. Harvey Land Use/Planning C.E.S.

RECEIVEDOCT - 2 2007 RE: Sound View Manor (Parcels 1121039060 and 1121039119) Great Blue Heron Nest Analysis Dear Mr. Deaver, As we have discussed over the past few weeks Habitat Technologies has completed a series of additional onsite assessments; talked with Mr. Chris Anderson, Wildlife Biologist, Washington State Department of Wildlife (WDFW); and reviewed additional background information to address a recent report concerning two (2) potential great blue heron nests located within a large cottonwood tree offsite to the south of the proposed Sound View Manor Residential Community located within the City of Federal Way. This large cottonwood tree is located within parcel 1121039095 which is owned by Federal Way Public Schools. Additional assessment completed by Habitat Technologies was undertaken during July and August 2007. This assessment identified that two large nests were present within the large cottonwood tree. These nests were not active during July and August 2007 and no field evidence was present that would define these nests as active earlier in the 2007 breeding season or as "occupied" by great blue heron for nesting during the 2007 breeding season. The 2007 Habitat Technologies assessment was completed at a time of the breeding season when young -of -the -year would have begun the process of learning to fly but would still retain a very close connection to the nest. In addition, no droppings or other indicators of active nesting were evident within the understory surrounding the two nests. The 2007 Habitat Technologies assessment was also consistent with the WDFW observation made on July 5, 2007 that verified that the nests were not active during the 2007 breeding season. As noted by WDFW the nests were reported by local citizens as potentially used since at least the 2006 breeding season. Unfortunately, nest occupation was not verified by WDFW during the 2006 breeding season. Onsite assessments completed by Habitat Technologies during the fall and winter of 2005 failed to identify these nests. Based on this information it appears that the nests were not present during the 2005 breeding season, were reported as used during the 2006 breeding season, and were not active during the 2007 breeding season. wetlands, streams, fisheries, wildlife — mitigation and permitting solutions 1 P.O. Box '1088, Puyallup, Washington 98371 05287 voice 253-845-5119 fax 253-841-1942 habitattech@qwest.net The nest tree was identified by survey as 286 feet south of the southern boundary of the Sound View Manor project site. This nest tree was located approximately 200 feet west of an existing residential community to the east. An existing homesite was located approximately 220 feet directly to the east of the nest tree. In addition, an existing, well utilized trail was located near the base of the nest trees. This trail connected the residential community to the east of the nest tree to the public school located to the south of the nest tree. This trail was approximately four (4) to six (6) feet wide and worn to exposed gravel and dirt. The trail included created jumps for bicycles and the area appeared to be well utilized by the neighborhood for travel and recreation. CONCLUSION As defined during the 2007 breeding season, and further verified by WDFW, the potential great blue heron nests within the large cottonwood tree to the south of the proposed Sound View Manor residential community were not active during the 2007 breeding season. In addition, these nests were not present within the large tree during the 2006 breeding season. As defined by survey this large cottonwood tree was further away from the proposed Sound View Manor than the existing residential community to the east of the large tree. Sincerely, Bryan W.

The City received a proposed mass grading plan (sheet GR 2), a partial grading plan (sheet GR-1) with the initial submittal packet. An August 29, 2007 resubmittal contained residential floor plans, elevations and an August 28, 2007 letter explaining the proposed grading concepts. This letter states that the partial grading of 75% of the site is necessary to only construct proposed plat infrastructure, and that the grading request is greater than usual since more area is required for finish grades to match existing grades due to the site being steeper than typical. However, the issue of grading does not address the `build -ability' of the steep site, especially as the houses proposed for this steep site are two-story slab on grade, and submitted elevations reflect a flat construction site. In order for the city to analyze proposed clearing limits and grading limits for creation of reasonable and "buildable" lots, information about how these proposed dwelling units will be situated on the steep lots must be submitted, including the placement of each dwelling unit on the lot; proposed finish floor elevations; proposed height of basement walls, foundation walls, crawl spaces, and rockeries or retaining walls necessary for lot development. Based on the July 17, 2007 incomplete application letter and the above noted issue, the subdivision application is still considered incomplete. After receipt of the requested information, the department will notify you within 14 days whether your application is considered complete or what, if any, information is still needed. It is important to note that the department cannot begin processing the formal preliminary plat and environmental applications until all required items are submitted.

A copy of the July 13, 2007 e-mail, from Mr. Anderson is enclosed! Based on this information, the applicant must prepare and submit a report that verifies the location of the nest(s) and evaluates potential development impacts to the nest locations and to the herons. The report must identify mitigation measures necessary to protect the nest(s) and reduce impacts to the herons. The report will be routed to WDFW along with other agencies and individuals, for comment and review. I am aware that Habitat Technologies, Inc. included a chapter titled `Wildlife Observations' in their March 7, 2006 Wetland and Draingd Corridor Evaluation and Delineation Report.. This report was submitted wit}i the preliminary plat application. The report listed avian species that were observed or would be expected based on plant communities, available habitats direct observations, and observations within adjacent parcels. The on -site assessment, completed between November 2005 and January 2006, did not include observed or potential use of the site or surrounding properties by Herons. Both the Black Crowned Night Heron and the Blue Heron are listed on the Washington State Priority Habitat and Species listing and their breeding areas are listed as priority areas. These types of areas may also be classified as fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas pursuant to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Section 18-28 (enclosed) In light of observed Heron nesting conditions, a thorough report must be prepared -as noted above and submitted to the City for review. Wildlife observations in the Habitat Technologies report must be modified to reflect these new findings. The SEPA checklist must be modified to reflect Heron nesting conditions, impacts, and identified mitigation, and the nest(s) and any buffer depicted on relevant drawings, including preliminary plat and clearing and grading plans. After receipt of the requested information noted above, the department will notify you within 14 days whether your application is considered complete or what, if any, information is still needed. It is 1 Mr. Anderson notes that he created the enclosed map prior to his visit to the site and the map is not an official WDFW map. He notes that official WDFW Maps are available through the State.

They are found throughout Washington but are most common in the lowlands. Nesting Great blue herons are colonial breeders that nest in a variety of deciduous and evergreen tree species. Nests are usually constructed in the tallest trees available, presumably to reduce the risk of predation by mammals (Butler 1992, Carlson 1995), but may also be located in bushes and in artificial structures (Bruce 1986, Blus et al. 1980) when trees are absent (Henny and Kurtz 1978). In King and Kitsap counties, great blue herons nested at heights ranging from 9- 26 m (30-85 ft) in the tallest trees available (Jensen and Boersma 1993). A British Columbia study found that most great blue heron nests occurring in trees were located >14 m (46 ft) in height. No nests were found under 10 m (33 ft) (Mark 1976). Great blue herons in western Oregon nested at heights ranging from 7-25 m (23-82 ft) (Werschkul et al. 1976). Feeding Great blue herons feed on a wide variety of aquatic and marine animals found in shallow waters. Great blue herons also feed on mice and voles (Calambokidis et al. 1985, Butler 1995), which were an important food for nestlings in Idaho (Collazo 1981) and may be an important food for British Columbia great blue herons during winter (Butler 1995). At large spatial scales (e.g., great blue heron home range), the location of great blue heron colonies is probably best explained by the distribution of foraging habitat (Gibbs 19.91, Jensen unpublished data, see human disturbance below for smaller scale considerations). Although great blue herons may forage up to 29 km (18 mi) from a colony, most forage within 2-5 km (1- 3 mi) of the colony (Short and Cooper 1985, Butler 1995). The number of nests per colony in British Columbia (Butler 1991), Oregon (Werschkul et al. 1977, Bayer and McMahon 1981), Maine (Gibbs 1991), and Washington (Jensen unpublished data) were positively correlated with the amount of nearby foraging habitat, and in Maine were negatively correlated with the costs of foraging at greater distances (km flown/ha of wetland visited). Feeding territory size and location may vary from year to year (Hoover and Wills 1987). The availability of alternative foraging and nesting habitat within close proximity of known foraging sites is probably critical to great blue heron reproductive success: Butler (1995) suggested that food availability strongly affects great blue heron survival, the spacing of their colonies, and their use of habitat. Moreover, great blue heron food supply may be limiting, particulary in areas where foraging areas freeze during winter (Butler 1992). Colonies usually exist at the same location for many years, and productivity (number of fledglings/nesting herons) may be positively related to the number of years colonies have been in use (Butler 1995). Great blue herons may relocate their colonies in response to increased predation on eggs and young by mammals and birds such as eagles (Jensen unpublished data), declines in food availability (Simpson et al. 1987), or human disturbance. Jensen (unpublished data) suggested that 2 of the 5 King County colonies monitored in 1991 were abandoned in late spring due to bald eagle predation, but Butler (1995) found that there was http://wdfw.wa.gov/hab/phs/vol4/gbheron.htm 7/11/2007 WOFW -- PHS Management Re ommendations Vol IV: Birds Page 3 of 10 no relationship between the location of great blue heron colonies and the location of areas with high densities of nesting eagles. Thus, abandonment of colonial nesting areas due to predation pressure from eagles may be regionally specific. Great blue heron colonies built in spruce or Douglas -fir trees may damage host trees over time, which may also influence colony relocation (Julin 1986). LIMITING FACTORS The availability of nesting habitat in close proximity to suitable foraging habitat limits great blue herons. The availability of alternative foraging sites could be critical to nesting success. Great blue herons are generally sensitive to human disturbance and are frequently the target of vandalism (Parker 1980, English 1978). The type and extent of human disturbance can affect great blue heron colony site selection (Gibbs et al. 1987, Wafts and Bradshaw 1994). In Virginia, great blue herons chose colony sites further from roads and human structures than would be expected by chance; a pattern that was apparent up to 400-800 m (1,312-2,625 ft) from colonies (Watts and Bradshaw 1994). Great blue heron colonies have been abandoned in response to housing and industrial development, highway construction, logging, vehicle traffic, and repeated human intrusions (Leonard 1985, Parker 1980, Kelsall and Simpson 1979, Werschkul et al. 1976). In King and Kitsap counties, Jensen (unpublished data) found that great blue heron colony size decreased as distance to the nearest human disturbance within 300 m (984 ft) decreased, and as the amount of human development within 300 rn (984 fit) of the colony increased. Nests occupied first in each of 3 King County colonies in 1991 were furthest from development and had more than twice as many fledgling than nests closer to development (3.13 versus 1.51 young/nest) (Jensen unpublished data). Other studies suggested that great blue herons may habituate to non -threatening repeated activities (Webb and Forbes 1982, Vos et al. 1985, Calambokidis et al. 1985, Shipe and Scott 1981). Thus, different great blue herons may have different tolerance levels to disturbance depending on disturbance history and type (Simpson 1984). Although the effects of visual and auditory buffers have not been well studied, topographic or vegetation obstructions may ameliorate some types of disturbance (Webb and Forbes 1982). MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS We suggest that the most effective way to conserve great blue herons in Washington is through comprehensive land -use planning that considers the needs of all species. In the absence of comprehensive land -use plans, we recommend the protection of existing great blue heron colonies using colony site -specific management plans. Colony site -specific management plans are based on general recommendations from current research, knowledge of the colony, surrounding land uses, and landowner goals. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife can assist in development of these management plans. All plans designed to conserve great blue heron colonies should consider the following factors, among others: The colony's size, location, relative isolation, and the degree of habituation to disturbance (Henny and Kurtz 1978, Bowman and Siderius 1984). Colonies located in close proximity to existing human activities may tolerate more disturbance than colonies located in undisturbed areas (Simpson 1984, Webb and Forbes 1982, Bowman and Siderius 1984). While it's currently unclear how colony size affects reproductive success (Butler 1995), larger colonies may be more stable and are probably indicative of more or better foraging habitat and higher http://wdfw.wa.gov/hab/phs/vol4/gbheron.htm 7/11 /2007 VH'DFW -- PHS Management Re,j�!,ommendations Vol IV: Birds Page 4 of 10 productivity (number of fledglings/nesting herons) than smaller colonies. Should priorities need to be set, larger colonies should receive more protection than smaller colonies. The timing of a proposed activity. Great blue herons are less tolerant of disturbance during the pre -nesting and courtship periods, becoming progressively less likely to temporarily leave or abandon nests after laying eggs (Kelsall 1989, Bowman and Siderius 1984, Rodgers and Smith 1995). Topographic or vegetative features surrounding the colony that might ameliorate the effect of human disturbance. The availability of foraging areas and their proximity to the colony site (Simpson 1984; Gibbs et al. 1987; Gibbs 1991; Butler 1992, 1995). Proximity of forest lands that could be used as alternative colony sites (Simpson 1984, Julin 1986, Gibbs et al. 1987). Land -use patterns and potential for long-term availability of nesting and foraging habitat. To protect colonies from human disturbance, most studies reviewed by Butler (1992) recommended a minimum 300 m (984 ft) buffer zone from the periphery of colonies in which no human activity occurs during the courtship and nesting season (15 February to 31 July). Many authors of these studies, however, make recommendations in the absence of data showing the effects of human disturbance on nesting great blue herons. Moreover, colonies in Washington have been established or continue to persist within 300 m (984 ft) of human disturbance. Following experimental work on the disturbance of nesting great blue herons in Ontario, Canada, Vos et al. (1985) recommended that a 250 m (820 ft) buffer zone (their greatest flushing distance) plus 50 m (164 ft) for a total of 300 m (984 ft) would be suitable to minimize disturbance to nesting great blue herons. In a similar study on flushing distance in Florida, Rogers and Smith_ (1995) recommended a distance of 100 m (328__ft) to avoid disturbance to nesting great blue herons from motor boats and humans on foot. In the absence of comprehensive land -use and/or colony site management plans, we recommend the establishment of permanent, year-round minimum protection areas (buffers) of 250-300 m (820-984 ft) from the peripheries of colonies (Bowman and Siderius 1984, Quebec 1986 in Kelsall 1989, Vos et al. 1985, Buckley and Buckley 1976, Pullin 1988, Short and Cooper 1985, Parker 1980). All human activities likely to cause colony abandonment should be restricted in this buffer year-round. All human activities likely to cause disturbance (flushing and other behaviors that may reduce fitness) to nesting great blue herons should be restricted in this buffer area from the beginning of courtship behavior through fledging (15 February to 31 July) unless site specific nesting chronology is known (J. Kelsall, personal communication) in which case timing of restrictions should reflect this knowledge. In addition, we concur with Butler's (1991) recommendation that activities such as logging or construction should not occur within 1,000 m (3,281 ft) of a colony and no aircraft should fly within a vertical distance of 650 m (2,133 ft) during the nesting season unless those activities can be shown to have no effect on great blue heron fitness. Since the proximity of nesting habitat to foraging habitat is important to great blue heron fitness (Butler 1995), the loss or degradation of nesting habitat may be a problem if alternative great blue heron nesting habitat becomes limited. We recommend that several alternative forested http://wdfw.wa.gov/hab/phs/vol4/`gbheron.htm 7/11/2007 WDFW -- PHS Management Re-grnmendaticns Vol IV: Birds Page 5 of 10 stands at least 4 ha (10 ac) in size with dominant trees at least 17 m (56 ft) in height be left in the vicinity of existing great blue heron breeding colonies (Parker 1980, Jensen and Boersma 1993). Large colonies (>50 nests) would likely require more alternative nesting habitat. J. Kelsall (personal communication) suggested leaving large nesting trees in the center of an area having 300 m (984 ft) or more of isolation during the breeding season. Important foraging areas within a minimum radius of 4 km (2.5 mi) of colonies should be protected from development (Hoover and Willis 1987). In addition, each foraging area, particulary those that are intensively used, should have a surrounding buffer zone of at least 100 m (328 ft) (Short and Cooper 1985). Human activities that reduce the value of foraging sites should be minimized in these buffer zones. Buffer zones may be critical for foraging areas that are surrounded by intense human development (Short and Cooper 1985, Hoover and Wills 1987). Organochlorine, organophosphate, and carbamate insecticides can be highly toxic to birds, mammals, and fish, and their use should be avoided near great blue heron colonies and upland/wetland foraging habitat (McEwen et al. 1972, Grue et al. 1983, Grue et al. 1986, Smith 1987). Synthetic pyrethroids (e.g., permethrin) are low in their toxicity to birds and mammals and may be used as alternatives. However, they are highly toxic to fish and should be kept out of water systems (Grue et al. 1986, Smith and Stratton 1986). The use of any insecticide (Smith 1987) or herbicide (Santillo et al. 1989) should be avoided in great blue heron nesting or foraging habitat unless it has been shown to have no effect on great blue heron fitness. Appendix A (pdf file 35kb) provides contacts useful for assessing pesticides, herbicides, and their alternatives. Buffer zones around great blue heron colonies (300 m [984 ft]) and foraging areas within 4 km (2.5 mi) of colonies (100 m [328 ft]) should be free of pesticides (Brown 1978, Smith 1987). Suggested buffer widths for insecticide spray application near foraging areas range from 31- 500 m (102-1,640 ft) (Kingsbury 1975, Payne et al. 1988, Terrell and Bytnar-Perfetti 1989), but in general buffer widths should increase as the toxicity of the treatment compound increases. Determination of buffer widths should account for pesticide droplet size and volume and meteorological conditions (Kingsbury 1975, Brown 1978, Payne et al. 1988). Efforts to increase awareness of great blue heron nesting colonies should concentrate on inventories, information exchange, and education. Used and abandoned colony sites should be inventoried regularly and mapped by local and state agencies. Reproductive success should be monitored, particularly if it is likely to be affected by bald eagles and/or human disturbance. REFERENCES Bayer, R. D., and E. McMahon. 1981.

Great blue herons typically nest at heights ranging from 9-26 m (29-85 ft). Great blue herons feed on aquatic and marine animals found in shallow water, and sometimes on mice and voles from upland habitats. They usually forage within 2-5 km (1- 3 mi) of their breeding colony site. Alternative nesting and feeding habitat is probably critical to great blue heron reproductive success. . Great blue herons that have experienced few disturbances may not tolerate human activities near their colonies. However, great blue herons that have been frequently or consistently exposed to disturbance may be more tolerant of human disturbances. Management Recommendations • Wherever possible, a habitat protection buffer at least 300 m (984 ft) wide should be established around the periphery of a colony. All human activities likely to cause colony abandonment should be restricted in this buffer year-round, and all human activities likely to cause disturbance to nesting great blue herons should be restricted in this buffer area from 15 February to 31 July. o Site specific management plans should be developed for each great blue heron colony whenever activities that might affect that colony are proposed. Such plans should consider the following: o The colony's size, location, relative isolation, and degree of habituation to disturbance; o Topographic or vegetative features surrounding the colony that might ameliorate the effect of human disturbance; o The availability of foraging areas and their proximity to the colony site; o Proximity of forest lands that could be used as alternative colony sites; o Land -use patterns and potential for long-term availability of nesting and foraging habitat. Stands of large trees at least 17 m (56 ft) high and at least 4 ha (10 ac) in size that can be buffered from disturbance should be left in the vicinity of great blue heron breeding colonies as alternative nesting habitat. Foraging areas, especially wetlands, within a minimum radius of 4 km (2.5 mi) of colonies should be protected from development and should have a surrounding disturbance free buffer zone of at least 100 m (328 ft). . Attempts should be made to keep all pesticides out of great blue heron foraging and nesting habitat, and associated buffer zones. Refer to Appendix A for contacts useful when assessing pesticides, herbicides, and their alternatives. . Activities such as logging or construction should not occur within 1,000 m (3,281 ft) of a http://wdfw.wa.gov/hab/phs/vol4/gbheron.htm 7/11/2007 WDFW -- PHS Management Repo4nmendations Vol IV: Birds Page 10 of 10 colony, and no aircraft should fly within a vertical distance of 650 m (2,133 ft) during the nesting season. . Alternative forested stands at least 4 ha (10 ac) in size with dominant trees at least 17 m (56 ft) in height should be left in the vicinity of existing great blue heron breeding colonies.

The map is not an official WDFW or state map. WDFW does record heron data in its Heritage database which then is applied to the Priority Habitats and Species maps. Our database will be updated with the new heron colony within the next 90 days and the PHS maps will reflect the new colony at that time. These maps are available to appropriate interest groups via a request process. More information is available at: http://wdfw.wa.gov/hab/release.htm The triangle locates a residential address that is directly adjacent to the walking path the heron colony is located near. The distance line shows approximately where the old Dumas Bay County Park colony is in reference to the new satellite colony. Hope this helps, feel free to contact me if you or the applicant need further info on the nest location.

WDFW looks forward to collaborating in regards to local heron colony management. On 07/05/07, as a follow-up to a report of a great blue heron nest site that was previously unknown to WDFW, I visited an undeveloped stand of trees, accessed via a walking path near 31435 42nd Place SW, to investigate whether there was sign of recent heron nesting activity. This site is roughly 2,000 ft southwest of the old Dumas Bay County Park heron colony site, which has been abandoned for a number of years due to multiple eagle incursions (see attached map). WDFW has interest in where the Dumas Bay colony birds have renested, as it is not certain if these individuals have remained within the immediate area, or left the vicinity altogether. The 07/05/07 site visit resulted in confirmation of 2 recent great blue heron nests found in the largest cottonwood within the subject stand of woods. The tree is located at (WGS 84) N 47 19' 10.4", W 122 23' 15.9". The tree is located just north (— 40 meters) of the walking path that traverses roughly east -west through the stand of woods. Interviews with local citizens indicate that this site has potentially been used for nesting since at least the 2006 breeding season (great blue heron nesting season, February 15-July 31). Anecdotal reports indicate that herons were in the stand in 2006, picking twigs from surrounding trees and building nests, as well as with nestlings later in the season. Observations made on 07/05/07 did not indicate current breeding season occupation, however anecdotal reports indicated that birds were in the stand earlier in the breeding season. Great blue herons are considered a Priority Species by WDFW due to their colonial behavior. Heron colonies are categorized as a vulnerable aggregation; which includes those species or groups of animals susceptible to significant population declines, within a specific area or statewide, by virtue of their inclination to aggregate. They are considered a State Monitor species and are therefore managed by WDFW, as needed, to prevent them from becoming endangered, threatened, or sensitive. Great blue herons and their nests are protected under RCW 77.15.130, Protected Fish or Wildlife. Federal Way Municipal Code incorporates this in Chapter 18, Environmental Protection; under 18-28, Additional definitions; in the mention of fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, listing (2): Habitats and species of local importance. WDFW recommends a permanent, year round buffer of 984 feet from the periphery of a colony in absence of any comprehensive land use plans. More information on Priority Habitats and Species can be found at: http://wdfw.wa.gov/hab/phspage.htm WDFW understands that the subject site may be proposed for development, which could potentially impact the local heron colony. WDFW requests the opportunity to review current plans and specifications of the proposed construction project, in order to provide project specific management recommendations regarding the heron colony. Alternatively, WDFW could provide assistance and review regarding any project specific great blue heron management plan developed by the applicant and submitted to the City of Federal Way. Please feel free to contact me regarding any questions or concerns with the management of great blue heron colonies.

Twin Lakes — 4400 SW 320'h Street Lakota — 1415 SW 3141h Street Decatur — 2800 SW 320`' Street The closest current bus stop for Lakota and Decatur is located at SW Dash Point Road at 44'h Avenue SW on the north side of Dash Point Road. (If we assume that Dash Point Road is an east -west .street at this point.) Students would need to cross Dash Point Road to board the bus. Bus stops may also change based on student transportation needs. There is an elementary bus stop at SW Dash Point Road and 48'h Place SW, on the south side of Dash Point Road. Soundview Manor is within the one mile radius of Tivin Lakes Elementary. As Soundview Manor is developed and the connection with SW 314`4 Street is completed, sludents would be able to walk to Twin Lakes Elenientaty from Soundview Manor along SW 314`h Street and 42'd Place SW. Please contact Geri Walker, FWSD, at 253-945-2071 if you have any questions about the school data. I can be reached at 253-835-2642 if you have any questions about the subdivision application.

Boundaries are reviewed annually and adjustments may be required as enrollment fluctuates. Twin Lakes — 4400 SW 320th ST Lakota —1415 SW 314th ST Decatur — 2800 SW 320th ST The closest current bus stop for Lakota and Decatur is located at SW Dash Point Rd at 44th Ave SW on the north side of Dash Point Rd. (If we assume that Dash Point Rd is and east -west street at this point). Students would need to cross Dash Point Rd to board the bus. Bus stops may also change based on student transportation needs. There is an elementary bus stop at SW Dash Point Rd and 48th PL SW, on the south side of Dash Point Rd. Soundview Manor is within the one mile radius of Twin Lakes Elementary. As Soundview Manor is developed and the connection with SW 314th ST is completed, students would be able to walk to Twin Lakes Elementary from Soundview Manor along SW 314th St and 42nd PL SW. The guidelines for the School Access Analysis are attached. Thanks for the opportunity to provide this information to the developer. Sincerely, Geri Walker School Access Analysis New development creates a need for analysis of student pedestrian safety. The Federal Way School District would prefer an analysis of walking paths to schools and bus stops from new subdivisions be prepared by the developer prior to final comments on impacts. Generally a walking route should be planned to assure that school -age pedestrians from a neighborhood: • Cross the fewest number of streets to reduce vehicle -pedestrian exposures • Walk on sidewalks or paths where available; • Walk the shortest possible distance on streets without sidewalks or wide shoulders; • Walk on the left side of the road facing traffic on streets where practicable; • Avoid high speed, high volume roads and roads with high truck volume. • Make maximum use of protective techniques (traffic control devices, existing crossing guards and school patrols.) • Use easements with walkways through parks or other available areas where student safety is maximized. Walkways and paths must be cleared of vegetation for maximum visibility. The analysis of walking paths to schools and school bus stop locations from a new subdivision should include the following information: • School location Description of sidewalks, pedestrian paths and shoulders including: ➢ condition and width of shoulder and sidewalks; ➢ whether shoulders are paved, gravel or grass, or non-existent; ➢ whether sidewalks and pathways are immediately adjacent to the traffic lanes or are separated by a planting strip or other means from moving traffic; and ➢ the location of drainage or irrigation ditches. • Location of all crosswalks, including type of crossing protection offered; • Medians, pedestrian refuge islands and other pedestrian safety features; • Posted speed limits and warning signs, especially all 20 mph school speed limit zones; • All stop and yield signs; • Traffic signals including presence of marked crosswalks and pedestrian signal indication. Traffic signal timing and phasing for pedestrian crossing. • Major sight line obstructions as measured from the height of children. ■ Bicycle lanes or paths. ■ Other relevant pedestrian safety factors observed. ti CITY OF CITY HALL 33325 8th Avenue South Ak Federal Way Mailing Address: PO Box 9718 98 Federal Way, WA 98063-9718 (253) 835-7000 www. cityoffederalway com Ms. Laurie Harvey ,, ' July 5, 2007 CES NW, Inc. ; _j 5210 12`h Street East Fife, WA 98424 t` Re: Permit #07-103109-00-SU; Incomplete Application, Soundview Manor Preliminary Plat Dear Ms. Harvey: On June 7, 2007, the Department of Community Development Services received your development permit application for the proposed 28-loc single-family subdivision at SW Dash Paint Road at approximately 43`d Avenue SW, as extended.

This project was originally submitted to the City on June 7, 2007, as a 27-lot subdivision. Following extensive discussion with city staff, the proponent revised the project to 21 lots, adding large open space tracts to the project. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUESTED Additional information as noted below must be submitted for review before: (1) issuance of the environmental determination and (2) setting the date for the public hearing. I. SEPA — The following information must be addressed and the environmental checklist revised before the environmental determination for this project can be issued: B.1 Please expand responses to this section and include discussion of the erosion propensity of the existing soils along with any proposed mitigation; the overall goals for grade and fill balance; utilization of retaining walls or rockeries, if any; how useable yard areas will be established; proposed open space areas east and west of the built areas; and reflect that clearing, mass grading, and utility installation for plat construction shall be limited to the dry season only (April 30 to October 1). Also, identify the location of the "steepest naturally occurring slope of approximately 70 percent," since that information is not reflected on sheet SV2. B.3.a.4 The current response states `wetland hydrology will not be maintained by diverting water." The proposed development will not be permitted to impact wetland hydrology without appropriate mitigation. Please revise this checklist response to discuss impacts to the wetland hydrology and any proposed mitigation. B.3.c.1 Revise this checklist response to explain where runoff from this site currently discharges, the effect the infiltration pond will have on current discharge, and where the pond will discharge if the pond overflows. Include the existing condition of the drainage corridor downstream from the discharge area. B.3.d Revise this response to include measures such as dry season construction and preparation of a Level 2 downstream analysis report during engineering review. Mr.. Cram Deai�er November 9, 2010 Page 2 B.4.b This response states "between 74 and 90 percent of the mature trees and native cover will be removed to prepare the site for single-family residences." Please clarify if the amount of vegetation to be removed is based on the proposed clearing limits reflected on sheet GR2 dated 9/29/10 or based on previous mass grading concepts. Revise this response to clarify the amount of vegetation including quantity of significant trees removed for infrastructure and for pad development. Identify tree replacement locations, such as within open space areas, if required! B.5.d Revise this response to disclose the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) findings and recommendations regarding heron presence and occupancy on the adjacent property, including but not limited to construction restrictions, vegetation retention, lighting shields, and recommended monitoring period of five breeding seasons (2007 to 2011). Discuss how the DFW recommendations are incorporated into the proposed development, and include copies of any management plans approved by DFW. B.12.c Revise this section to reflect the open space that is proposed to be provided within the subdivision, and clarify if the fee -in -lieu -of option will be sought. See section 1 below. B.14.f/g Revise this checklist section response to update the correct PM peak hour trips and the daily trips; add traffic mitigation to include pro-rata share contribution from the concurrency report as required by FWRC; and add all the conclusions and summaries as updated by the review comments from the TIA or reference the TIA. H. Wildlife — The City previously forwarded the `Blue Heron Analysis' prepared by Habitat Technologies dated September 17, 2007, to Chris Anderson with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW). His review comments dated November 7, 2008, were forwarded to your attention. Those comments included specific recommendations for management of the heron colony including a 500-foot management buffer; nesting season construction activity restrictions; vegetation retention within 300 feet from the nest; and plat outdoor lighting limitations. Please provide a written response to the DFW recommendations, which will be incorporated into environmental conditions of preliminary plat approval. Include commentary by your wildlife biologist as appropriate. TECHNICAL COMMENTS — The following technical comments must be addressed prior to scheduling the preliminary plat hearing before the Federal Way Hearing Examiner. Planning Department, Deb Barker, 253-835-2642 Open Space — Under FWRC 18-55.060(2), 15 percent of the gross land area is required to be established as on -site open space or alternatively fee in lieu of payment made. Based on the current plat layout, approximately 28 percent of the site is proposed to be established as open space. Please identify which tract will be classified as which open space category based on the list below. Note that a homeowners' association (HOA) will be responsible for ownership and maintenance of all commonly held open space land areas in perpetuity. 1 It is understood that the landscape plan will not be updated until the status of the SW 314a' Street road connection is confirmed, and this section may be updated based on that revised plan. File 07-103109-SU Doc. I.D. 56225 Mr. Craig Deaver November 9, 2010 Page 3 Open Space Category % of Gross Land Area Usable 10% minimum Conservation No maximum or minimum Buffer 2% maximum Constrained 2% maximum 2. Preliminary Plat Plan Comments — Revise the following plans to reflect the following: 0 Sheet PP1 (Preliminary Plat Plan) o Show the location of the stream corridor that continues north of SR 509, and the approximate location where the drainage system will tie into that stream. o List the net plat area, which is the gross plat area minus critical areas, rights -of -way, and public purpose lands. o Lot #1 is the only corner lot in this plat, and the side setback adjacent to SW Dash Point Road must be revised to reflect the comer setback of 10 feet instead of 5 feet. o Revise the term allowable building height to "30 feet above average building elevation." o Denote where the existing impervious surfaces of 6,999 sq. ft. are located. o Add "proposed" to impervious surface: 79,645 sq. ft. • Sheet GRl (Partial Grading Plan) — Staff recommends that this map be eliminated. • Sheet GR2 (Mass Grading Plan) o Revise the title of this page to "Clearing and grading plan." Note that the Public Works Department may waive the SW a 14" Street connection upon receipt of a formal request. o Add a legend to this map. o Consider adding the 40% slope areas to this map as the 40% slope map (sheet SV2) is a different scale than sheet GR2. o Depict the building pad area for lots 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. 3. School Access Analysis — If the SW 3 1 e Street connection is eliminated, the school access analysis must be revised to reflect a different route for the students attending Twin Lakes Elementary School. Critical Areas — According to the City's critical areas maps, the subject property contains areas that meet the FWRC definition of a critical area per FWRC 19.145.030. The western portion contains portions of the 100-foot buffers from the Category 11 wetland and from the major stream, both located off -site; as well as geologically hazardous areas consisting of erosion hazard soils along SW Dash Point Road, and steep slope hazard areas where slopes exceed 40% throughout the site. According to submitted plans, the proposed development will not encroach into the buffer areas of the regulated wetland or stream x However, clearing and grading in conjunction with road and utility installation and creation of building pads is proposed to occur within the geologically hamrdous areas. The following code sections detail development regulations for critical areas, including geologically hazardous areas. Formal responses to these regulations are requested. 2 Impacts to wetland or stream hydrology, if any, have not been quantified at this time. Doc. I.D. 56225 File 07-103109-SU Mr. Craig Deaver November 9, 2010 Page 4 FWRC 19.160 GeologicaIt Hazardous Areas —Under FWRC 19.160.010, the city regulates development activities and land surface modifications on or within 25 feet of a geologically hazardous area. The director may permit development on or within 25 feet of a geologically hazardous area if no reasonable alternative exists and only if the development activity or land surface modification will not lead to or create any increased slide, seismic, or erosion hazard.3 In order to evaluate the proposal, as provided in FWRC 19.160.010(3), a soils report prepared by a qualified professional engineer licensed in the state of Washington, which describes how the proposed development will impact the following on the subject property and nearby properties, is required. The "Geotechnical Engineering Study and Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation" prepared by Earth Consultants, Inc, dated May 18, 2006, identifies site conditions, critical areas considerations, and includes recommendations. Of concern is the fact that preliminary grading plans were not available at the time of the study, and report recommendations may not be appropriate. Provide proposed grading plans to the report author. The report must be revised to evaluate the stability of the proposed grading and provide construction setback recommendations based on these plans, including specifications for proposed slopes over 6 feet in height. The report shall include recommended methods for mitigating identified impacts, and a description of how these mitigating measures may impact adjacent properties. Federal TA Comprehensive Plan — In addition to the above -referenced codes, the following Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) policies address protection of geologically hazardous areas. NEP54 - Land uses on steep slopes should be designed to prevent property damage and environmental degradation, and to enhance open space and wildlife habitat. NEP55 - As slope increases, development intensity, site coverage, and vegetation removal should decrease and thereby minimize drainage problems, soil erosion, siltation, and landslides. Slopes of 40 percent or more should be retained in a natural state, free of structures and other land surface modifications. NEP56 - Landslide hazard areas should be free of development, unless the risks and adverse impacts associated with such development can be reduced to a negligible level. In order to assist staff in evaluating the proposed development, please provide a written analysis that details how the proposed development responds to these Comprehensive Plan policies and how geologically hazardous areas will be protected. Retention of Vegetation — The City noted in previous comments that the proposed subdivision did not meet the retention of vegetation provisions of FWRC 18.60.040 a Based on survey drawings, the majority of the site contains 15% slopes as measured in their natural state. The current development proposal does not include retaining walls; and the proposed terracing is based on graded contours with building pads separated from each other by 2:1 slopes that range from 4 feet to 6 feet in height. As depicted in the proposed grading plan, large areas of undeveloped open space flank the developed 3 FWRC 19.160.010(2). 4 The code stated that all natural vegetation shall be retained on the site to be subdivided except that which will be removed for improvements or grading as shown on approved engineering plans. Existing mature vegetation shall be retained to the maximum extent possible. Preservation of significant trees shall apply solely to the development of each single-family lot at the time a building permit is applied for. Lots created on slopes of 15% or greater shall minimize grading and shall not result in extensive use of retaining walls. NOTE: this section has been superseded by FWRC 19.120. File 07-103109-SU Doc. I.D. 56ZM: Mr. Craig Deaver November 9, 2010 Page 5 area, which is consistent with the City's expectations for this site. These open space areas create a buffer from adjacent development and provide a suitable location for any tree replacement. When submitting a revised landscape plan, please include an analytical response to the Retention of Vegetation section of FWRC. Refer to the created open space areas, the potential locations for significant tree replacement (if required), long term stabilization methods for lot terracing and 2:1 slopes, and identify potential circumstances for installation of retaining walls. 6. Forward Comment Letter — In reviewing the file, it appears that a comment letter received on February 24, 2009, was added to the file and forwarded to staff, but not forwarded to your attention. A copy of the letter from AJ Kroll is enclosed. Development Services, Ann Dower, 253-835-2732 Plans The information submitted on September 29, 2010, has been reviewed. Although the previously provided comments must all be addressed, the following comments must be addressed prior to preliminary plat approval: Provide water quality and flow control for Dash Point Road improvements. Revise the plans to show the initial sizing and location. If onsite facilities are sized to provide this, then clearly indicate this in the Technical Information Report. 2. The 15-20' high, 2:1 slope in the pond tract is not maintainable. Revise the pond design so that it can be maintained. The applicant was previously advised to terrace the pond, providing a -six-foot bench between walls. The bench can be sloped up to 3:1 if necessary. Staff would also support surrounding the pond with walls and placing a fence on top of the wall. The area inside the wall and associated access are the only areas that the City would then accept and maintain. A non -cartridge presettling system is preferred for ease of maintenance. 4. Provide a TESC plan. Explain how you propose to stabilize the 2:1 slopes between the houses prior to home construction. This must be a "permanent" situation since the timing of home construction cannot be predicted and WSDOE requires that all home sites be stabilized. Verify that there is a 30' landing at the south end of Soundview Manor. Only one foot of rise is allowed within this 30' length. Technical Information Report 1. Although pond sizing is mostly conceptual and "rough" at this point, several of Sean Wells' review comments indicated that the pond may be too small. Comments from the public (Steve Lee letter dated 5/19/08) also indicate concern over the pond size. Please address Mr. Lee's comments and be prepared at the LUTC and preliminary plat hearing to explain and defend the size of the pond. Calculations will be thoroughly reviewed during engineering plan review. 2. Explain and provide support for CES's position that the downstream wetland (Dumas Bay Park) does not require specific measures from this development to maintain hydrology. File 07-103109-SU Doc. LD. 56225 Mr. Craig Deaver November 9, 2010 Page 6 3. Provide rough sizing calculations for the flow control and water quality improvements on Dash Point Road. Traffic Division, Sarady Long, 253-835-2743 Plans 1. Sight distance analysis per AASHTO at the new road connection to SW Dash Point Road. Please use intersection sight distance analysis not stopping sight distance as depicted on the plan. The analysis shall be conducted in accordance to AASHTO guidelines (3.5 ft object height, 3.5 ft driver's eye height, 14.5 ft back from the edge of the traveled way for passenger vehicles). Also, please show sight distance calculation and identify if sight distance is adequate to meet AASHTO. 2. Show the proposed school access route as approved by the School District and any proposed improvements. Extend SW 314'h Street to the new plat road (Soundview Drive) to meet street connectivity provisions per FWRC 19.135.251. This requirement may be modified by the Public Works Director on a case -by -case basis with a written modification request along with the appropriate fee. Please provide supporting documentations with the formal modification request. Please note that staff would support the modification request if connections cannot be made due to topographic constraints, environmentally sensitive areas, and/or adjacent development are not conducive to the roadway extension. 4. SW Dash Point road is a Type K street with 44' paved road/bike lane, 6' planter strip, 8' sidewalk, and 3' utility strip all within 78' right-of-way (ROW). The applicant is expected to construct half - street improvements along the property frontage, which should include 22' minimum paved, 6' planter strip, 8' sidewalk, and 3' utility strip all in 39' ROW measured from the street centerline. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, no ROW dedication is required as measured from the street centerline. Please note that additional right-of-way may be needed to accommodate turn lanes as determined in the TIA report. Tapers and transitions beyond the project frontage may be required as deemed necessary for safety purposes, taper rate shall be WS^2/60 or as directed by the Public Works Director. Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) 1. Update the TIA report with the new PM Peak hour of 26 instead of using the previous 34 trips. Also, the Traffic department has provided previous comments in memos dated July 3, September 17, and October 1, 2007, and March 14, 2008. Some of these comments have not been addressed, while other comments may not be applicable as the project will generate less trips and connection to SW 314ei Street may not be required. Please review the previous traffic related comments and address those that are still applicable. 2. Verify intersection sight distance analysis at driveway access to SW Dash Point Road in meeting AASHTO intersection sight distance requirement as discussed above. File 07-103109-SU Doc. I D. 56225 Mr. Craig Deaver November 9, 2010 Page 7 Provide turn -lane warrants analysis for ingress and egress at the access to SR 509 using the revised 26 total trips. Provide a figure for the new channelization on SR 509 for the turn lane and tapers if applicable. 4. The TIA contained a Neighborhood Traffic Safety (NTS) section. Pending a modification request from the applicant and approval from the Public Works director, street connection to SW 314" Street may not be required. If this is the case, the TIA should be revised accordingly. Update the Conclusions and Mitigation in the TIA report to be consistent with the new data. PROJECT STATUS This letter clarifies the additional information that must be submitted prior to preparation and issuance of the environmental determination. This letter also details the information that must be submitted before the public hearing can be scheduled. All other issues to be addressed beyond these time lines have been noted as appropriate. PROJECT CANCELLATION Pursuant to FWRC 18.05.080, if an applicant fails to provide additional information to the City within 180 days of being notified that such information is requested, the application shall be deemed null and void and the City shall have no duty to process, review, or issue any decisions with respect to such an application.

We have made revision to the preliminary plat and associated drawings and reports for the Soundview Manor project. The revisions in part are based on conversation and suggestions made by city staff. There are several significant differences between the previous preliminary plat submittal and this submittal. This letter is intended to discuss why the changes were made. First the lot count was reduced from 27 lots to 21 lots to accommodate native buffers city staff suggested on the east and west sides of the project. These buffers are 2.26 acres in size. The buffers will be left in their native condition. The westerly Open Space Tract `E' will provide a natural area which will provide further protection to the adjacent wetland and stream area. Tract `F' to the east will provide a natural vegetated area between the proposed plat and the adjacent Twin Lakes plat. It is also important to note that all healthy trees located in these two tracts will be preserved. As consideration for these two tracts we are asking the city to waive the recreation/park fee as more than 15% of the site has been set aside. In this submittal a revised landscape plan has not been prepared. Once we have approval on the general layout a formal landscape and tree retention plan will be completed for city review and approval. As you can see on the included preliminary plat maps we did not include a connection to SW 314th Street. This connection was not included for multiple reasons. First the roadway connection would require substantial additional grading activity to the entire project. The grading would also encroach into the proposed open space tract V. Due to the grades at SW 314th Street it would require the majority of the site to be adjusted to accommodate the roadway connection. Second there is no direct benefit to this project for this secondary access. The proposed 21 lot project will be access off of SW Dash Point Road. The proposed roadway will be adequate for all users including emergency vehicles. Third, as the city is aware there is significant opposition to the roadway connection from the adjacent property owners. Based on these three reasons and the obvious financial cost of installing the roadway we have not shown a_ connection to SW 310 Street. Page 1 of 2 P:\05170.2\IFEing\P-Plat\Ltr-Technical Comments - 2010.09.01.doc On this submittal we have included multiple detailed grading design sheets for review by the city. It is important to point out this proposed grading plan has substantially reduced the overall grading activity and required retain walls. Since the project is a cul-de-sac with lots on located on both sides of the proposed roadway we did not provide a partial grading plan. It would not be practical to grade just for the roadway and not include the lots. We did not show walls on the site as it is possible to build the project without retaining walls. On the grading plan we have minimized the grade transition between each lot to 4-8 feet. It is likely that retaining walls will be constructed in these transition areas as part of the house construction. Once you have had chance to review the documents it might be best if we had another meeting to discuss the project. In the mean time if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to call. cc: Ann Dower, City Of Federal Way Soma Chattapadhyay, City Of Federal Way Chris Ingram, South King Co.

At the time Mr. Lee contacted me, I was unfamiliar with the project. Since that time I have reviewed the plans, TIR, and comments made by Mr. Wells, and am now able to provide more accurate information. The drainage report provided by CES NW Inc. dated June 7, 2007, page 18, states that although the City's Flow Control Applications Map shows this property in a Level 1 Flow Control Area, the City is requiring Level 2 flow control due to a documented downstream severe erosion control problem. I believe this is the same erosion control problem Mr. Lee refers to in his letter. However, as Mr. Lee suggested, the applicant will be asked to contact Mr. Ransom as part of the Level 2 Downstream Analysis that was required in Mr. Well's comments dated 10/05/07. Item #5 Detention Pond Sizing The engineering plans have not yet been completed. Staff has commented extensively on the initial sizing of the pond, and will continue to review the engineer's design parameters and calculations to assure that it meets the requirements of the 1998 KCSWDM. Staff agrees with Mr. Lee that for design purposes, the site should be considered "forested" for existing conditions, and a combination of"impervious" and "till grass" for proposed conditions. Item #6 Wetland H drolo The 2007 TIR does not cover wetland hydrology, but staff has required that it be addressed prior to approval. The engineer and wetland consultant will be required to work together to determine which home sites will drain to the existing wetland to maintain the wetland hydrology. Typically, roof runoff is routed through individual dispersion trenches near the edge of the wetland buffer. Chemicals from lawn runoff has not been addressed, but could be if the wetland biologist has a concern. Item #7 Walls Staff is aware of the wall heights and has required the applicant to work on reducing wall heights, terracing, and adding landscaping to reduce the physical and visual impact of walls on the site. Item 8 Stormfilter �t Based on acceptance of this technology by WSDOE, the City's current policy is to allow Stormfilter products to be used in situations such as the one proposed on this site. If the City accepts ownership and maintenance responsibilities for the storm water facilities on this site, they will become part of the City's regular maintenance schedule. Although the City commonly accepts ownership and maintenance of storm water facilities for subdivisions, The City has not made a determination as to whether or not this storm water facility will be accepted. Item 11 Offsite Fill The geotechnical report does not address this issue. The applicant should be advised of this concern and provide a response. NOA 18 - Marvin & Roxanne Smith 31102 44th Ave SW This plat will be required to meet Level 2 Flow Control and Resource Stream Protection water quality requirements. Level 2 flow control is specifically designed to minimize erosion hazards to downstream properties. Resource Stream Protection is designed to minimize pollutants entering our streams.

First what is the status of the Mitigated Determination of Non -Significance (MDNS)? Second when can a hearing date be issued for this project? Last if the council denies the roadway connection to Twin Lakes we would like to preserve the ability to achieve 28 lots. Will the MDNS be issued within the next week or two? It was my understanding that the neighborhood meeting was the last issue that needed to be addressed prior to issuing the determination. Now that the meeting has been completed is there anything preventing a SEPA determination from being issued? This project has been reviewed and approved by all city departments and outside regulatory agencies. As part of the MDNS I would like to make sure that all impacts reference 28 lots even though the site plan currently only shows 27 lots due to the roadway interconnection requirement to SW Me Street. Due to the negative responses from neighborhood meeting we feel it is highly likely the City Council will disallow the connection to SW 314t" St. In anticipation of this, we would like the SEPA determination to reflect a total of 28 lots as original submitted. At this time we see nothing that is preventing the project from moving toward a hearing date. If necessary we are more than willing to provide alternate. plans for a pedestrian and Emergency Vehicle Access at SW Me Street. We have preciously provided alternative plans for this type of access for staff to review, via email. A formal submittal can be made to the city for review if staff feels it is warranted for public hearing. A new site plan could be prepared show how 28 lots can be achieved with an emergency vehicle and pedestrian access. A site plan of this type may be helpful in presenting alternative solutions to the hearing examiner and to city council. Please understand I would like staff to support any alternate solution presented by us. Finally, we understand the city requirement for roadway connectivity. The plans prepared by CES are intended to show how this requirement can be met. It appears there will be significant opposition of this roadway connection by the public mainly based on safety concerns. The safety concerns can be mitigated however due to the nature of the existing roadway grade it will be difficult to mitigate all safety related concerns. It is important to point out this project did not create the existing roadway grade which is approximately 19%. This proposed project proposes to meet city code and will also provide mitigate measures to 11 help with these safety concerns as presented at the neighborhood meeting. Do we need to show the mitigation measures the city requires on the preliminary plans? If so please provide us the information so it can get reflected on the exhibits and plans presented at the hearings. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Thx From: Community Christian Center mailto:cccfedwa hotmall.com Sent: Friday, August 17, 2012 5:01 PM To: Patrick Doherty Subject: Re: Soundview Manor Preliminary Plat FW File# 07-10 To whom it may concern -- Our neighborhood borders both Dash Point Rd. SW (WA 509) and Dumas Bay wetlands. There has been a persistant effort to develop a wooded area upslope from our neighborhood and ultimately the wetland; an area which has been home to blue heron and, more recently, osprey. We are concerned that this deforestation and subsequent development would not only irreparably destroy our view but would adversely impact the wetland itself, the creek which flows into it, and the wildlife which calls Dumas Bay and the surrounding wooded area home. The city has already determined, apparently, that the impact would be "non -significant" and magnanimously allowed through 5P August 17 for comment. Other areas of development around Federal Way offer examples of how this "non -significance" assessment by the city has proven wrong: one in particular, the area between Saghalie Middle School and the King Co. Aquatic Center was cleared of all its trees and then sat undeveloped for years while wind blasted unabated through the area destroying trees and fences on adjacent properties --hardly "non -significant". While I know that this comment period is merely a legal formality and that my concerns and those of my neighbors are not likely to change the inevitable land clearing AT LEAST the City and its planning commission folks could acknowledge that this latest development effort, while no doubt inevitable, is by no means "non -significant" to the neighbors --furry, feathered and otherwise. The Determination of Non - Significance is, quite simply, a misnomer. [ref.

Attached is a copy of a note from the city I received late last week about this development - that you may have seen advertised along SR509 recently near SW 47th (on the left from Bayview). I'd assumed that everyone around here had received this note - but it appears not. Anyway - since it could affect us all, thought you'd like to be informed now. Janet is the contact point currently named on the documentation from the city - and I've included Jeanne as our most local council member. No doubt we'll learn more soon.

While this may not yet be the appropriate time to raise some concerns (below), I'd like to place on record a couple of points and trust that you and your colleagues can address these at an appropriate point in the approval process. As I make these comments, I have in mind the very poor appearance of the development along SW Campus Drive near the Aquatics Center. My understanding is that the original developer there cleared more trees than was permitted and then went out of business. I trust that the City will address this proposed development aiming to avoid a similar situation. 1. There is no mention at this stage of how existing trees will be impacted. Since this is a rural area of Federal Way and part of the approach that visitors see on their way to Dash Point State Park, I'd ask that the development only proceed if it can be kept largely invisible from SW Dash Point Road through the preservation of the bulk of the existing tree line. 2. There is no indication of where the vehicular access to SW Dash Point Road will be from Soundview Manor. I assume it will be fairly close to 44th Av SW. This strikes as potentially hazardous, since that will place three junctions to SR509 in less than a half mile. I request that plans for how this additional junction will incorporated safely be considered in depth before approval for Soundview Manor is given so that we are not faced with subsequent traffic 'improvements' (a rotary perhaps) that will in themselves cause environmental disturbance. I have copied Jeanne as a nearby resident and council member, and John as President of BayView HOA.

It was my understanding that this project was not moving forward. I followed this project from the beginning, attending all of the meetings both city and Twin Lakes HOA meetings, because of the negative impact on Bayview Country Estates by one of Soundview Manor's requests which was to open up the gate that separates Twin Lakes and Bayview. This would have a major impact on the traffic within Bayview. I have never been noticed or advised that this project was back on the table and that is a major concern to me and all of Bayview. Please forward to me the information that you received from the city on this matter and cause my name to be placed back on the notification list of any or all actions with reference to Soundview Manor.

In your email you express concerns about the existing trees and location of vehicular access associated with the proposed preliminary plat. Existing Trees — The applicant is proposing to retain over 30% of the site in open space tracts, which exceed the city's minimum open space requirements. Within this area, the applicant is proposing to retain all existing significant trees_ The applicant will also be required to install perimeter landscaping along the SW Dash Point Road frontage, as well as sidewalks, lighting, and street trees. Location of Proposed Vehicular Access — The applicant is proposing one vehicular access point to the subdivision from SW Dash Point Road. The proposed access is approximately 400 feet from 441h Avenue SW and it is located at the approximate mid -point of the site frontage along SW Dash Point Road (see enclosed copy of the proposed site plan). This access point meets the state highway access management 250-foot spacing requirement. Furthermore, at the request of staff, the applicant's traffic engineer has performed additional analyses (Sight Distance Analysis and Turn Lane Warrant Analysis) at the proposed access point to ensure safe and efficient traffic operation.

In your email, you inquire about a similar proposal for the subject site that you understood was not approved by the city. In 1990, the Federal Way City Council approved a 30-lot preliminary plat application (Resolution 90-32) for the subject site. This approved preliminary plat was not constructed and the approval expired. In 2007, a new application for a preliminary plat approval was submitted. A notice of complete application was issued in May of 2008. Following this notice, the city received numerous comments expressing concern related to a proposed vehicular connection to the adjacent Twin Lakes neighborhood. In response to these comments, the applicant revised the site plan to eliminate the vehicular connection to the adjacent neighborhood (see the enclosed copy of the proposed site plan). The current proposal has not moved forward during the last few years, due to the downturn in the local economy.

In your email, you express concerns about existing wetlands located in the vicinity of the proposed preliminary plat. In addition, you note that the area has been home to blue heron and osprey. Existing Wetlands — There is an existing wetland located off -site and to the west of the proposed subdivision. The associated wetland buffer area is partially located on the subject property. The applicant is not only proposing to maintain the entire 100-f6ot wetland buffer in -tact, but is also proposing to maintain an additional contiguous open space area ranging from 60-200 feet wide. In all, the applicant is proposing to maintain over 30% of the site in open space area. Within this open space area, the applicant is proposing to retain all the existing significant trees (see the enclosed copy of the proposed site plan for location of the wetland, buffer area, and proposed open space areas). Heron and Osprey — In November of 2007, the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) verified the location of a heron's nest located on a property adjacent to the subject site and recommended a 300-foot no clearing setback and a 500-foot no -disturbance setback in addition to a 5- year nest -monitoring period. In January of 2012, the WDFW confirmed that this particular nest had been abandoned and had fallen apart, and retracted their previous recommendation. As noted in the paragraph above, the applicant is proposing to retain over 30% of the site in conservation and buffer open space. This exceeds the minimum requirement of 15% on -site open space required by city code and this area will continue to provide habitat opportunities for wildlife. As a point of clarification, the city's issuance of a Mitigated Determination of Non -Significance (MDNS) means that certain mitigation actions must be taken in order for the impact of the development to not be significant. It does not mean that the proposed development will have no impact on the site or surrounding area, as certainly any development of land in a natural state will change its character and overall appearance and function.

We have determined that the above -referenced proposal will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment, provided the mitigation measures identified in the enclosed Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) are met. As a result, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required to comply with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). A copy of the MDNS is enclosed. 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 August 3, 2012. At the end of the comment period, the department will determine if the MDNS should be withdrawn, modified, or retained. All final determinations may be appealed within 14 days of the end of the comment period. 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 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 43.21C.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 and Economic Development. File #07-10311 1-00-SE Doc. I.D. 61590 Mr. Jerry Mann Page 2 August 2, 2012 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 thd�!SEPA'pprtion of that appeal) if your proposal is one for which the city's action on it has a specifiect~t - - e period within which any court appeals must be made.

This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the City. PROPOSED ACTION: Subdivision of a 9.01-acre site into 21 single-family lots with street improvements, construction of storm drainage facilities, utility improvements, and wetland mitigation. Approximately 30% of the site will be retained in separate open space tracts containing a regulated wetland buffer. Vehicular access to the lots within the subdivision will be from SW Dash Point Road. Proponent: Westbrook Investments, LLC, 437 29"' Street NE, Suite G, Puyallup, WA 98372 Location: The south side of the 4100 block of SW Dash Point Road, in the SW 'V4 of Section 11, Township 21 North, Range 03 East, W.M., in King County, Washington. King County Parcel numbers 112103-9119 and 112103-9060. MITIGATION MEASURES (SUMMARY): 1) Clearing, grading, wall and utility line construction for the plat shall be limited to the months between April 30 and October 1 (known as the "dry season"). After final plat approval, these seasonal restrictions shall also apply to construction on individual lots. The Public Works Director may revise this restriction based on weather patterns and individual site considerations. 2) Prior to engineering approval, the applicant shall retain the services of a certified ESC supervisor with experience in construction supervision/inspection and a background in geology, soils science, or agronomy who shall be responsible for erosion control throughout the project. 3) Prior to engineering approval, the applicant shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the city that the engineering plans have fully incorporated Critical Areas Special Provisions from the 2009 KCSWDM (section 5.D.3). 4) The engineering plans shall include turbidity testing that shall be performed pursuant to section D.4.2-3 of the 2009 KCSWDM. 5) The engineering plans shall include school access improvements as follows: a) Street lighting at the entrance to the development, and along the sidewalk to be installed on the south side of SW Dash Point Road, from the entrance of the development, west to 44`h Avenue SW. b) A paved walkway within a public right-of-way to be dedicated to the city and maintained by a homeowner's association through the east side of the development, including sufficient lighting along said path, to SW 310 Street in the Twin Lakes neighborhood. Foliage on either side of the paved walkway shall allow for clear visibility to support student safety. Further information regarding this action is available to the public upon re?est at the Federal Way Department of Community and Economic Development (Federal Way City Hall, 33325 8 Avenue South, Federal Way, WA, 98003).

At our meeting I was supportive of installing the "School Bus Stop Ahead" sign (53-1- please see attached) on Dash Point Road SW due to potential sight distance. However, after reviewing the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) which provide guidance/policy on signs installation and AASHTO for Geometric Design of Highways and streets, I don't think it is possible. Per the MUTCD Manual Section 713.13, the "School Bus Stop Ahead" sign (53-1) should only be installed if there is not adequate sight distance preventing road users from seeing the stopped school bus. Additionally, AASHTO provides guidance on roadways design which required a stopping sight distance of 250' for design speed of 35 MPH (please see attached). This distance is required for road users traveling at 35 MPH to see the object (school bus) and react and decelerate to a complete stop. I think the available sight distance from 47th Ave SW to 44th Ave SW. is about 450'. Since there is adequate stopping sight distance I cannot support this request to install the "School Bus Stop Ahead" sign. I am sorry for the confusion. Please call me if you have questions or concerns on this issue. Sarady Long Senior Trans.

In attendance were Janet Schull and Sarady Long from the City of Federal Way, and Jo Boyer and Michelle Turner from the Federal Way School District Transportation Dept. This letter serves as our final analysis and recommendation. After reviewing our mutual concerns, and our original request for an LED flashing crosswalk signal on Dash Point Rd SW, which would require an extended period of time for review, and approval by the state, we agreed on the following: 1) Improved lighting at the entrance to the development, and along the sidewalk to be installed on the north side of Dash Point Rd SW, from the entrance of the development, west to 44th Ave SW. 2) Installation of "School Bus Stop Ahead" signs in both directions along Dash Point Rd SW to indicate the bus stop on Dash Point Rd SW at 44th Ave SW. The school district is requesting that the city check into signs that are enhanced and/or reflective for better visibility to oncoming traffic. 3) Installation of a paved walkway through the east side of the development, including sufficient lighting along said path, to the Twin Lakes neighborhood. This walk path is necessary so students may safely access the bus stop located at SW 313th St at 41st PI SW. The school district is also asking for a review of the foliage around this walk path. Clear visibility is a priority for student safety. My thanks to all for the time and effort given, Jo Boyer Transportation Services Coordinator 253-945-5960 ibover@fwps.org "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass ... it's about learning to dance in the rain." .

There are two city requirements that are not addressed in the most recent preliminary plat resubmittal. The following two areas of concern have been identified with regard to readiness to proceed to Hearing Examiner, which would be the next step in the preliminary plat review process. Issue 1: As represented on the preliminary plat drawings, the on -site usable open space does not meet the minimum code requirements of 10% of site area. In this case, we can proceed to the hearing examiner hearing with the preliminary plat drawings as submitted and our staff report will address this via a recommendation for a preliminary plat condition that accepts the plat as presented. subject to a fee -in - lieu payment to meet the remainder of the usable open space requirement. We will also recommend a condition to provide additional amenities to the area of the plat that has been shown as improved with a wood chip trail, to include additional amenities such as benches. Issue 2: The pedestrian pathway must meet the provisions of Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 18.55.070, "Pedestrian and Bicycle Access" (see reference below), and that of the modification to the block perimeter requirements that was approved per a letter issued under Public Works Deputy Director Ken Miller's signature on January 17, 2012. The preliminary plat drawings must show the pedestrian pathway in a TRACT not an easement. We understand that you are planning to testify at the hearing examiner hearing in support of an easement in lieu of a tract. That is -certainly your prerogative, but we must forward a preliminary plat drawing that meets our code requirements and the conditions of the modification decision. 18.55.070 Pedestrian and bicycle access. (1) In addition to the sidewalks required in FWRC 19.135.010 regarding requirements to rights -of -way and vehicular easements, pedestrian and bicycle access should be provided ---for-established orplanned'safe-school routes, bit-eways;-traiis, transit stops, and general circulation. File #07-103109-00-SU Doc. I.D. 62560 Mr. Craig Deaver Page 2 of 2 November 7, 2012 (2) Pedestrian and bicycle access shall be provided in 20 feet of dedicated right-of-way. Paved width shall be 12 feet. Pedestrian -scale lighting shall be provided if the two ends of the access corridor are not intervisible. No sight -obscuring fences or landscaping shall be permitted abutting access corridors. (3) Pedestrian and bicycle access shall be provided to develop a nonmotorized network with a block perimeter of no greater than 1,320 feet, as measured on centerlines. This requirement may be modified if connections cannot be made due to: (a) Topogr#phical constraints. (b) Environmentally sensitive areas. (c) Adjacent development is not being conducive. (4) Pedestrian and bicycle access corridors shall be considered as usable open space in determining open space requirements. (Ord. No. 07-554, § 5(Exh. A(2)), 5-15-07; Ord. No. 98-330, § 3, 12-15-98; Ord. No. 97-291, § 3, 4- 1-97; Ord. No. 90-41, § 1(16.260.10—16.260.30), 2-27-90. Formerly 20-156. Code 2001 § 20-157.) We are ready to proceed with scheduling a hearing date, once Issue 2 has been addressed with corrected preliminary plat drawings indicating the pedestrian corridor is located within a tract. We will proceed with Issue 1 as outlined above, unless you indicate you wish to revise the proposed on - site usable open space design prior to proceeding with the hearing examiner hearing.

Attached please find the response we prepared to Ann Dower for the February 10, 2012 email from Deb Barker. This letter was sent via e-mail to Ann and Deb followed by a conversation with Ann. On the attached plans and noted in the letter addressing Ann's comments the roadway details and call outs have been changed as requested. It understood that street lighting and trees are required. Street lights and trees were previously addressed on the plans. We also concur the plat must meet the requirements of the 2009 King County Storm Water Design Manual. Items 1-5 from the February 10, 2012 comments have been addressed on the attached response letter. We are not sure why the 100% forested modeling is required as the site is using infiltration. It is assumed this is required to show the new offsite roadway improvements which by pass the pond to do not exceed the pre - developed rates. We do not agree with the requirements of Enhanced Basic for water quality. Enhanced water quality is generally a requirement for discharge to a fish bearing body of water such as a stream or lake. This project utilizes infiltration and is not anticipated to discharge to a body of water under normal storm conditions. We are in general agreement of the necessary erosion control and the need for a wall design. The need for piping to convey water from upstream properties is not necessary. In response to your email of October 18, 2012, we respectfully disagree regarding the use of tract over easement for the pedestrian pathway located between lots 2 and 3 and would like to present this to the Examiner for a decision. If we lose on this matter at the hearing the preliminary plat and adjacent lots can be modified to address the tract. As you know we object to this standard as the tract will have more impact on the buildable area of the lots than an easement. As for the intent of the open space standards as presented on the last drawing submittal, we modified the open space category listings under the site statistical break down per Deb Barkers suggestions. The open space area is more than double the requirement. Therefore we are strongly opposed to providing a fee in lieu of a park. A soft trail was added extending from the sidewalk of Dash Point road connecting to the sidewalk of SW 314th Street. Due to the topographical constraints it is difficult to preserve native vegetation and the associated buffering while providing useable open space. We believe we have met the minimum criteria for useable open space by providing a soft trail and passive amenities. If necessary we are willing to provide park benches to help meet the criteria of useable open space. In our opinion the trails we have proposed will be a benefit to proposed homes and adjacent community. Providing additional trails through steep terrain to nowhere do not provide a benefit to anyone. In fact it eliminates native vegetation and would encourage undesirable activity. Please understand this area will be surrounded by fencing on three sides. In closing we believe we have addressed all items adequately to schedule a hearing. Please let us know if there are deficient items and when the city is able to schedule a hearing.

Harvey C.E.S. NW, INC 310 29th St NE, Ste 101 Puyallup, WA 98372 Dear Ms. Harvey, Please use this letter of correspondence as an amendment to the November 7, 2007 WDFW heron management recommendation letter regarding the proposed Soundview Manor Preliminary Plat (Fed Way file #07-103109-00- SU). WDFW relayed in the past 2007 management recommendation letter that a monitoring period of 5 consecutive years would be appropriate. This has occurred. WDFW has no issue with retracting previous 2007 recommendations regarding heron considerations for this proposed site. The site has historically received little heron nesting use — none of which has been regular. There are other areas within Federal Way that show more regular heron nesting use. No heron nesting has been known from the 2007 season, through the 2011 season. Periodic reconnaissance by WDFW and C.E.S. NW Inc. contractor Habitat Technologies have supported lack of evidence of nesting activity over this monitoring period. Most recently, I visited the project site and walked its entirety on 12/2812011. No Great Blue Heron nests were observed. No remnants of previous heron nests were observed. I did observe three inactive, old American Crow nests. This species (crow) is not recommended for management consideration per WDFW Priority Habitat and Species (PHS) Recommendations. WDFW has no issue with the Soundview Manor project, as currently proposed, regarding nesting herons (or lack thereof) on the site. This is due to the recommended monitoring efforts being met and lack of heron use. In the event herons, or any other PHS Occurrence, is noted on the site prior to or during construction activities or associated project reconnaissance measures; please notify Chris Anderson at WDFW to report occurrence and examine if any wildlife management considerations may be recommended.

After evaluating the existing and proposed conditions, review of Federal Way City Code (FWCC) provisions (Sections 19.135.070; 19.135,030; 18.55.010), and direction provided by the City Council, the Public Works Department hereby waives the required street extension, based upon the following: 2) Unusual topographic or physical conditions preclude the construction of the improvements as required. The configuration necessary to make the connection between SW 310 Street and the subdivision would require a tight turning radius and roadway grades that exceed Federal Way road standards. Traffic calming would be necessary to insure safe traffic movement. In addition, with existing grades ranging from 25-45 percent, significant clearing and grading would be required within the area, which has been determined to be geologically hazardous. The applicant will be required to provide a pedestrian corridor within a separate tract, to be maintained by the homeowners association. To reduce the amount of grading within the area, the pedestrian corridor width may be reduced from the City standard. At a minimum, it must consist of an eight -foot -wide paved path with two -foot -wide gravel shoulders on the sides. Pedestrian scale lighting shall be provided along the path if both ends are not intervisible. The path must meet all applicabie ADA requirements. If you have any questions on these improvement requirements, please contact Ann Dower, Senior Engineering Plans Reviewer, at (253) 835-2732 or via email at ann.dower@cilyoffederalway.com.

We look forward to having a Determination of Nonsignificance in early 2012. Attached please find the following addressing the City's comments to that submittal: 1. A revised right of way modification is accompanying this letter requesting relief from the 20 foot pathway pursuant to FWIRC 18.53.070. We are proposing a 10 foot public easement with 6 foot of concrete pathway, and 2 foot planting beds on either side of the pathway. 2.

Technical comments on the right-of-way modification request and the herons nest are included. PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION On November 4, 2011, the city received your resubmitted items in response to the City's November 9, 2010 letter that requested additional information. Although our review of the additional information is not complete, the preliminary plat application is considered active and valid since submittal deadlines were met. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW City staff are continuing to review resubmitted information to ascertain if all issues from the City's November 9, 2010 letter have been satisfactorily addressed. Our goal is to issue a mitigated determination on nonsignificance (MDNS) early in 2012. However, as discussed in this letter, some additional information is needed before the environmental determination can be issued. COMMENTS ON RESUBMITTED INFORMATION & ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUESTED The following comments on the resubmitted information are provided to further review of preliminary plat application. Please note those italicized items which must be concluded before the environmental determination can be issued. Engineering Review, Ann Dower, 253-835-2742 Right-of-way Modification — Your November 2, 2011 right-of-way modification request is to eliminate the SW 314`h Street roadway. A five -foot -wide gravel pathway is proposed to provide pedestrian connectivity to the east in lieu of the roadway. While elimination of the roadway can generally be supported, as depicted, the gravel trail does not comply with Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 18.55.070 Pedestrian and bicycle access.' The pedestrian corridor must be revised to reflect this 20-foot-wide requirement in order for the right-of-way modification request to be 1 18.55.070 Summarized: Pedestrian and bicycle access should be provided for established or planned safe school routes, bikeways, trails, transit stops, and general circulation. Pedestrian and bicycle access shall be provided in 20 feet of dedicated right-of-way. Paved width shall be 12 feet. Pedestrian -scale lighting shall be provided if the two ends of the access corridor are not intervisible. No sight -obscuring fences or landscaping shall be permitted abutting access corridors. Mr. Craig Deaver December 20, 2011 Page 2 approved. Alternatively, the right-of-way modification request should be expanded to request a narrower pedestrian corridor width along with the elimination of SW 314"' Street. Please note that the right-of-way modification process must be concluded before the environmental determination will be issued. 2. Mitigation — Due to environmental conditions associated with the site, including highly erosive soils, existing and proposed steep slopes on the site, a known erosion problem downstream of the site, and the proposed infiltration pond down slope of the development, the SEPA determination will include mitigation measures to ensure that erosion will be minimized. Conditions will include, but will not be limited to, enlarged sedimentation facilities to prevent downstream erosion, and limiting construction to only the months between April 30 and October 1 ("dry season"). In addition, a cash deposit will be required to cover erosion control and site stabilization until each of the lots is permanently stabilized and a certificate of occupancy has been issued for each house. The cash deposit will be in addition to, and separate from, the performance and maintenance bond or assignment of funds typically required for projects within the City of Federal Way. This is an informational item and no action is required at this time. Planning Review, Deb Barker, 253-835-2642 Heron's Nest — Based on correspondence between your wildlife consultant Habitat Technologies, Inc. and Chris Anderson, with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, it appears that the herons' nest that is located south of the subject property has not been occupied. As a result, the nest is not regulated and associated set backs are not warranted. Please provide a signed copy of the November 9, 2011 WDFW letter for our records as Mr. Anderson's e-mail message is faint and hard to read. This must be received before the environmental determination will be issued 2. School Access Analysis — The revised school access analysis has been forwarded to Federal Way School District transportation and security staff for evaluation. The school access analysis must be approved before the environmental determination will be issued. Please note that additional comments will be forwarded to your attention as available, including School District findings, Parks Director comments, and additional technical comments from staff. With this request for additional information, the review clock is suspended with 27 days used.' When resubmitting, please include two copies of any letters or reports, and include the enclosed Resubmittal Information Form.

We are now actively seeking project preliminary plat approval from the City of Federal Way. A recent site visit by Habitat Technologies to our project Soundview Manor showed no evidence of the previously identified Heron nests (see attached letter). Therefore we will would request your concurrence with our biologist's findings and remove the recommendations from the site. The goal is to achieve preliminary plat for this project without the Heron buffer restrictions. It is important to mention that in your letter dated November 7, 2007 you made recommendations regarding construction activities in and around the site for 5 consecutive years during the nesting season of February July, it was also noted that there was no evidence that the stand was occupied during the July 2007 nesting season. Based on your 2007 field visit we feel that the five consecutive years concluded on July 31, 2011. Please provide a letter of approval removing all Heron related conditions to the City of Federal Way. Regards, Lori L. Harvey Land Use/Planning RESUBMITTED NOV 0 4 2011 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY CDS End Letter Habitat Technologies Site Plan associated with a developing urban built and natural environment. In recent years, other large urban heron colonies in King County have disbanded. At times, some of the herons will nest in smaller "satellite" colonies of roughly 1 to 5 nests in the vicinity of the old 'larger colony" site. Alternatively, some of these old colony sites and their surrounding areas are not used at all for heron nesting purposes. Smaller colonies tend to be negatively impacted more easily by predators. The ultimate effect of the pressure exerted by an urban environment on heron colonies is complex and not completely understood. Therefore, conservation management measures are recommended due to the abandonment of historically well -established heron colonies within Federal Way and current observations of heron investigation and use of areas for nesting, albeit in small numbers, within the City at present. WDFW recommends the following measures be taken to assist in the management of the new great blue heron colony found south of the proposed Soundview Manor Residential Community: No exterior construction activities including clearing, grading, construction of roads and multiple residential structures shall be allowed at the subject site during the great blue heron nesting season (February 15 - July 31) within a 500 ft. management buffer surrounding the current nest site. Lower intensity construction activity that limits noise and does not involve large scale site manipulation, such as preparation and finishing work limited to the interior of structures using hand held power tools, would be allowable during the nesting season. Such a condition should provide that this limitation period may be modified, including being reduced, depending on actual heron activity at the colony within any given year. A request by the applicant to alter this construction limitation would need to be reviewed by a qualified wildlife biologist and recommendations submitted to WDFW for approval. • Native trees greater than or equal to 56 ft in height and native shrubs greater than or equal to 23 ft. in height found within 300 feet of the current nest tree, e.g. along the southern edge of the proposed Soundview Manor Residential Community, shall be retained as a vegetative screening buffer to assist in mitigation of any activities found in the surrounding built environment that may disturb heron nesting activity at the subject nest site. Where appropriate, outdoor utility lighting of Soundview Manor Residential Community should incorporate shielding to reduce glare into the recommended 300 ft. vegetative buffer in order to avoid any potential adverse impacts to great blue herons and other wildlife utilizing the existing natural environment found adjacent to the subject site. ■ Alterations to the above recommendations may be submitted to WDFW for review and management recommendations if it is determined that the subject nesting site is unoccupied by great blue herons for breeding purposes over a period of 5 consecutive years or greater, as documented by a qualified wildlife biologist and confirmed by WDFW.

NW, Inc. has made the following changes to the Soundview Manor Preliminary Plat application, plans and supporting documents. The changes have been made within the actual documents but are also noted below to aid in the review process. I. SEPA — The following information must be addressed and the environmental checklist revised before the environmental determination for this project can be issued: B.1 Please expand responses to this section and include discussion of the erosion propensity of the existing soils along with any proposed mitigation; the overall goals for grade and fill balance; utilization of retaining walls or rockeries, if any; how useable yard areas will be established; proposed open space areas east and west of the built areas; and reflect that clearing, mass grading, and utility installation for plat construction shall be limited to the dry season only (April 30 to October 1). Also, identify the location of the "steepest naturally occurring slope of approximately 70 percent," since that information is not reflected on sheet SV2. This SEPA reflects the revisions made to the plans which address the comments above. The plans have been modified to show rock retaining walls, flat rear yard areas, and large open space areas. The steepest slope which is approximately 43% has also been identified on sheet GR1.0 of the civil set. B.3.a.4 The current response states "wetland hydrology will not be maintained by diverting water." The proposed development will not be permitted to impact wetland hydrology without appropriate mitigation. Please revise this checklist response to discuss impacts to the wetland hydrology and any proposed mitigation. The SEPA has been revised to address the wetland hydrology. Unfortunately the original statement was an error and has been revised to reflect the information shown in the Storm report and on the proposed design. RESUBMITTED NOV 0 4 2011 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY CDS November 9, 2010 Page 2 B.3.c.1 Revise this checklist response to explain where runoff from this site currently discharges, the effect the infiltration pond will have on current discharge, and where the pond will ' discharge if the pond overflows. Include the existing condition of the drainage corridor downstream from the discharge area. The SEPA has been revised to address current runoff discharge and any additional effects. 3.d Revise this response to include measures such as dry season construction and preparation of a Level 2 downstream analysis report during engineering review. The SEPA has been revised to address measures used to control surface runoff and a Level 2 downstream analysis. B.4.b This response states "between 74 and 90 percent of the mature trees and native cover will be removed to prepare the site for single-family residences." Please clarify if the amount of vegetation to be removed is based on the proposed clearing limits reflected on sheet GR2 dated 9/29/10 or based on previous mass grading concepts. Revise this response to clarify the amount of vegetation including quantity of significant trees removed for infrastructure and for pad development. Identify tree replacement locations, such as within open space areas, if required! The SEPA has been revised to reflect current grading plans and a narrative addressing native vegetation and trees has been added. B.5.d Revise this response to disclose the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) findings and recommendations regarding heron presence and occupancy on the adjacent property, including but not limited to construction restrictions, vegetation retention, lighting shields, and recommended monitoring period of five breeding seasons (2007 to 2011). Discuss how the DFW recommendations are incorporated into the proposed development, and include copies of any management plans approved by DFW. As a significant time has elapsed and it has become clear the Heron is no longer present. Therefore we have requested relief from these recommendations from WDFW. A copy of the letter from CES to WDFW is included in this submittal package. B.12.c Revise this section to reflect the open space that is proposed to be provided within the %,/ subdivision, and clarify if the fee -in -lieu -of option will be sought. See section 1 below. The SEPA has been revised to address open space usage and fee in lieu options. We expect the fee will not be required due to the significant amount of open space set aside. B.14.f/g Revise this checklist section response to update the correct PM peak hour trips and the daily trips; add traffic mitigation to include pro-rata share contribution from the concurrency report as required by FWRC; and add all the conclusions and summaries as updated by the review comments from the TIA or reference the TIA. The SEPA has been revised to address these issues. H. Wildlife — The City previously forwarded the `Blue Heron Analysis' prepared by Habitat Technologies dated September 17, 2007, to Chris Anderson with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW). His review comments dated November 7, 2008, were forwarded to your 1 It is understood that the landscape plan will not be updated until the status of the SW 3141h Street road connection is confirmed, and this section may be updated based on that revised plan. File 07-103109-SU Doc, I.D. 56225 November 9, 2010 Page 3 attention. Those comments included specific recommendations for management of the heron colony including a 500-foot management buffer; nesting season construction activity restrictions; vegetation retention within 300 feet from the nest; and plat outdoor lighting limitations. Please provide a written response to the DFW recommendations, which will be incorporated into environmental conditions of preliminary plat approval. Include commentary by your wildlife biologist as appropriate. Habitat Technologies revisited the site on November 1, 2011 and documented that the nest is no longer present. Correspondence has been prepared and sent to Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife on November 4, 2011. Copies of the correspondence, Biologists findings and the original recommendations are contained in EXHIBIT VIII of the SEPA. TECHNICAL COMMENTS — The following technical comments must be addressed prior to scheduling the preliminary plat hearing before the Federal Way Hearing Examiner. Planning Department, Deb Barker, 253-835-2642 1. Open Space — Under FWRC 18.55.060(2), 15 percent of the gross land area is required to be established as on -site open space or alternatively fee in lieu of payment made. Based on the current plat layout, approximately 28 percent of the site is proposed to be established as open space. Please identify which tract will be classified as which open space category based on the list below. Note that a homeowners' association (HOA) will be responsible for ownership and maintenance of all commonly held open space land areas in perpetuity. Open Space Category % of Gross Land Area Usable 10% minimum Conservation No maximum or minimum Buffer 2% maximum Constrained 2% maximum Site Statistical Break Down on Sheet PP1 has been revised to show how the projects proposed Open Space Categorization. Tracts C, D, and F have been classified as Usable. Tract F includes usable features that include portion of a proposed pedestrian path, a portion of an existing dirt roadbed, and retained native vegetation and mature trees. These tracts meet the definition of Usable Open Space as defined in 18.55.060. 2. Preliminary Plat Plan Comments — Revise the following plans to reflect the following: • Sheet PP1 (Preliminary Plat Plan) o Show the location of the stream corridor that continues north of SR 509, and the approximate location where the drainage system will tie into that stream. Sheet PP1 is an overview of the proposed site. This sheet does not include the existing or proposed storm drainage features. However the existing and proposed storm drainage systems are graphically depicted on many other sheets within the plan set in addition to the storm report. The requested revision has not been added to PP1. o List the net plat area, which is the gross plat area minus critical areas, rights -of -way, and public purpose lands. The Gross Plat Area has been added to the Site Statistical Break Down shown on sheet PP1. File 07-103109-SU Doe, LD. 56225 November 9, 2010 Page 4 o Lot #1 is the only corner lot in this plat, and the side setback adjacent to SW Dash Point Road must be revised to reflect the corner setback of 10 feet instead of 5 feet. The building setback for Lot #1, adjacent to SW Dash Point Road has been revised graphically to reflect a 10' setback, see sheet PP1. o Revise the term allowable building height to "30 feet above average building elevation." The Site Statistical Break Down on sheet PP1 has been revised per this comment. o Denote where the existing impervious surfaces of 6,999 sq. ft. are located. The existing impervious surface is a combination of an existing on -site driveway/roadway and existing building and concrete surfaces that encroach onto the property from adjacent parcels to the east of the project site. o Add "proposed" to impervious surface: 79,645 sq. ft. The work proposed has been added to the Site Statistical Break Down shown on sheet PP1. • Sheet GRl (Partial Grading Plan) — Staff recommends that this map be eliminated. This sheet has been removed from the plan set. The sheet index on PP1 and each sheet number has been revised to reflect the request. • Sheet GR2 (Mass Grading Plan) o Revise the title of this page to "Clearing and grading plan." Note that the Public Works Department may waive the SW 3141h Street connection upon receipt of a formal request. This sheet and the sheet index on PP1 have been revised per the city's request. Note that the project has also been revised to eliminate the connection to SW 314th Street. o Add a legend to this map. A legend has been added to the sheet. o Consider adding the 40% slope areas to this map as the 40% slope map (sheet SV2) is a different scale than sheet GR2. The project has considered the request and has added the 40% slope to the map. o Depict the building pad area for lots 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Hatched areas representing the potential footprint area provided by the grading plan have been added for these lots. This request seems unnecessary as the area available should be clear. It should also be noted that the future home builder on these lots may elect to construct retaining walls, high foundation walls or walk out basements thereby altering the buildable footprint area beyond the hatched area illustrated. 3. School Access Analysis — If the SW 3141h Street connection is eliminated, the school access analysis must be revised to reflect a different route for the students attending Twin Lakes Elementary School. The School Access Analysis has been revised and is in accordance with parameters outlined by the Federal Way School Districts and four copies have been provided. Please note a pedestrian access has been maintained from the project to the adjacent existing development of Twin Lakes. File 07-103109-SU Doc I D. 56225 November 9, 2010 Page 5 4. Critical Areas — According to the City's critical areas maps, the subject property contains areas that meet the FWRC definition of a critical area per FWRC 19.145.030. The western portion contains portions of the 100-foot buffers from the Category II wetland and from the major stream, both located off -site; as well as geologically hazardous areas consisting of erosion hazard soils along SW Dash Point Road, and steep slope hazard areas where slopes exceed 40% throughout the site. According to submitted plans, the proposed development will not encroach into the buffer areas of the regulated wetland or stream.2 However, clearing and grading in conjunction with road and utility installation and creation of building pads is proposed to occur within the geologically hazardous areas. We are in agreement with the above statement. The following code sections detail development regulations for critical areas, including geologically hazardous areas. Formal responses to these regulations are requested. • FWRC 19.160 Geologically Hazardous Areas — Under FWRC 19.160.010, the city regulates development activities and land surface modifications on or within 25 feet of a geologically hazardous area. The director may permit development on or within 25 feet of a geologically hazardous area if no reasonable alternative exists and only if the development activity or land surface modification will not lead to or create any increased slide, seismic, or erosion hazard 3 In order to evaluate the proposal, as provided in FWRC 19.160.010(3), a soils report prepared by a qualified professional engineer licensed in the state of Washington, which describes how the proposed development will impact the following on the subject property and nearby properties, is required. The "Geotechnical Engineering Study and Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation" prepared by Earth Consultants, Inc, dated May 18, 2006, identifies site conditions, critical areas considerations, and includes recommendations. Of concern is the fact that preliminary grading plans were not available at the time of the study, and report recommendations may not be appropriate. Provide proposed grading plans to the report author. The report must be revised to evaluate the stability of the proposed grading and provide construction setback recommendations based on these plans, including specifications for proposed slopes over 6 feet in height. The report shall include recommended methods for mitigating identified impacts, and a description of how these mitigating measures may impact adjacent properties. A letter has been prepared by Associated Earth Science Incorporated which addresses these concerns. It is important to note the original geotechnical engineer that prepared the original report is no longer in business. Therefore a new geotechnical engineer was hired to address the concerns identified. • Federal Way. Comprehensive Plan — In addition to the above -referenced codes, the following Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) policies address protection of geologically hazardous areas. NEP54 - Land uses on steep slopes should be designed to prevent property damage and environmental degradation, and to enhance open space and wildlife habitat. NEP55 - As slope increases, development intensity, site coverage, and vegetation removal should decrease and thereby minimize drainage problems, soil erosion, siltation, and landslides. 2 Impacts to wetland or stream hydrology, if any, have not been quantified at this time. 3 FWRC 19.160.010(2). File 07-103109-SU Doc. I D. 56225 November 9, 2010 Page 6 Slopes of 40 percent or more should be retained in a natural state, free of structures and other land surface modifications. NEP56 - Landslide hazard areas should be free of development, unless the risks and adverse impacts associated with such development can be reduced to a negligible level. In order to assist staff in evaluating the proposed development, please provide a written analysis that details how the proposed development responds to these Comprehensive Plan policies and how geologically hazardous areas will be protected. The site has been design with a substantial buffer along the east and west property boundaries. The intent of this buffer is to prevent property damage to the adjacent property. Additionally the buffers will maintain existing open space and wildlife habitat areas. See Geotechnical response letter for further information. 5. Retention of Vegetation — The City noted in previous comments that the proposed subdivision did not meet the retention of vegetation provisions of FWRC 18.60.040.4 Based on survey drawings, the majority of the site contains 15% slopes as measured in their natural state. The current development proposal does not include retaining walls; and the proposed terracing is based on graded contours with building pads separated from each other by 2:1 slopes that range from 4 feet to 6 feet in height. As depicted in the proposed grading plan, large areas of undeveloped open space flank the developed area, which is consistent with the City's expectations for this site. These open space areas create a buffer from adjacent development and provide a suitable location for any tree replacement. When submitting a revised landscape plan, please include an analytical response to the Retention of Vegetation section of FWRC. Refer to the created open space areas, the potential locations for significant tree replacement (if required), long term stabilization methods for lot terracing and 2:1 slopes, and identify potential circumstances for installation of retaining walls. The Retention of vegetation has been accounted for in the easterly and westerly buffers. A revised landscape plan is not being submitted because the site in our opinion meets the tree requirements. 170 trees 12" in diameter and greater will be removed with 59 trees 12" in diameter remaining in the open space and buffer areas. A rock wall alternative to the 2:1 slopes for lot terracing has been added to the plans and addressed in the geotechnical letter. 6. Forward Comment Letter — In reviewing the file, it appears that a comment letter received on February 24, 2009, was added to the file and forwarded to staff, but not forwarded to your attention. A copy of the letter from AJ Kroll is enclosed. We have received and reviewed the letter from AJ Kroll. Development Services, Ann Dower, 253-835-2732 Plans The information submitted on September 29, 2010, has been reviewed. Although the previously provided comments must all be addressed, the following comments must be addressed prior to preliminary plat approval: 4 The code stated that all natural vegetation shall be retained on the site to be subdivided except that which will be removed for improvements or grading as shown on approved engineering plans. Existing mature vegetation shall be retained to the maximum extent possible. Preservation of significant trees shall apply solely to the development of each single-family lot at the time a building permit is applied for. Lots created on slopes of 15% or greater shall minimize grading and shall not result in extensive use of retaining walls. NOTE: this section has been superseded by FWRC 19.120. File 07-103109-SU Doc, I.D. 56225 November 9, 2010 Page 7 1. Provide water quality and flow control for Dash Point Road improvements. Revise the plans to show the initial sizing and location. If onsite facilities are sized to provide this, then clearly indicate this in the Technical Information Report. The Technical Information Report has been revised to address the water quality treatment for the Dash Point Road improvements. The onsite facilities have been designed to compensate for the offsite roadway flow and volume under developed conditions. Please see the revised TIR for further information. 2. The 15-20' high, 2:1 slope in the pond tract is not maintainable. Revise the pond design so that it can be maintained. The applicant was previously advised to terrace the pond, providing a six-foot bench between walls. The bench can be sloped up to 3:1 if necessary. Staff would also support surrounding the pond with walls and placing a fence on top of the wall. The area inside the wall and associated access are the only areas that the City would then accept and maintain. Retaining walls have been placed on the south portion of the pond to provide a maintainable bench area. The area between the top of the pond and the retaining wall is 10 feet wide and graded at approximately 15% cross slope. The wall has been tiered with two 4 foot section with a 6 foot bench between the walls. 3. A non -cartridge presettling system is preferred for ease of maintenance. The cartridge system is still the preferred treatment method for this project. The 2009 King County Storm Manual allows this as a treatment method. We are not opposed to looking at alternative treatment methods during the final site development design. 4. Provide a TESC plan. Explain how you propose to stabilize the 2:1 slopes between the houses prior to home construction. This must be a "permanent" situation since the timing of home construction cannot be predicted and WSDOE requires that all home sites be stabilized. The preliminary plans have been revised to show a rock retaining wall in the 2:1 slope areas between building pads. Please understand the rock retaining walls shown are one potential solution for site stabilization. The developer may choose other alternatives in place of the rock wall provided they meet Federal Way and WSDOE requirements. 5. Verify that there is a 30' landing at the south end of Soundview Manor. Only one foot of rise is allowed within this 30' length. The plans have been modified to show a less than 3% grade for the 30 foot "landing" section of the cul-de-sac. See sheet C1 or sheet 8 of 10 of the plan set. Technical Information Report 1. Although pond sizing is mostly conceptual and "rough" at this point, several of Sean Wells' review comments indicated that the pond may be too small. Comments from the public (Steve Lee letter dated 5/19/08) also indicate concern over the pond size. Please address Mr. Lee's comments and be prepared at the LUTC and preliminary plat hearing to explain and defend the size of the pond. Calculations will be thoroughly reviewed during engineering plan review. Currently the pond is sized to handle the flow and volume from the site under developed conditions. In fact the pond has been conservatively size to handle flows from the original designed plat which had additional lot and roadway area. The geotechnical engineer has confirmed the infiltration rate that was used in sizing the pond. Further the geotechnical engineer will be onsite during pond excavation to confirm the design infiltration rates. File 07-103109-SU Doc LD. 56225 November 9, 2010 Page 8 2. Explain and provide support for CES's position that the downstream wetland (Dumas Bay Park) does not require specific measures from this development to maintain hydrology. The Dumas Bay Park downstream hydrology system will be maintained through stormwater discharge to the existing wetlands to the west. As stated in the TIR and the revised SEPA Storm discharge to the offsite wetland will mimic pre -developed flows and volumes. Additionally storm flows from the improved Dash Point Improvements will also help maintain hydrology to this area. 3. Provide rough sizing calculations for the flow control and water quality improvements on Dash Point Road. The onsite facilities have been designed to compensate for the offsite roadway flow and volume under developed conditions. Therefore flow control for the improvements on Dash Point Road has not been provided. Traffic Division, Sarady Long, 253-835-2743 Plans 1. Sight distance analysis per AASHTO at the new road connection to SW Dash Point Road. Please use intersection sight distance analysis not stopping sight distance as depicted on the plan. The analysis shall be conducted in accordance to AASHTO guidelines (3.5 ft object height, 3.5 ft driver's eye height, 14.5 ft back from the edge of the traveled way for passenger vehicles). Also, please show sight distance calculation and identify if sight distance is adequate to meet AASHTO. The site distance exhibit has been updated to conform to the AASHTO standards. The site distance meets the city and AASHTO requirement. Additional site distance analysis is provided in the revised traffic report. 2. Show the proposed school access route as approved by the School District and any proposed improvements. The proposed school route has not changed. A pathway has been provided from the proposed development to the adjacent development which I we believe is and acceptable school access route. 3. Extend SW 3141h Street to the new plat road (Soundview Drive) to meet street connectivity provisions per FWRC 19.135.251. This requirement may be modified by the Public Works Director on a case -by -case basis with a written modification request along with the appropriate fee. Please provide supporting documentations with the formal modification request. Please note that staff would support the modification request if connections cannot be made due to topographic constraints, environmentally sensitive areas, and/or adjacent development are not conducive to the roadway extension. A Formal Right of Way Improvement Modification Request has been prepared and is included in this submittal package. Additionally the appropriate application fee is also being supplied. As was shown on the last submittal, the request is to eliminate the requirement for an adjacent roadway connection. 4. SW Dash Point road is a Type K street with 44' paved road/bike lane, 6' planter strip, 8' sidewalk, and 3' utility strip all within 78' right-of-way (ROW). The applicant is expected to construct half - street improvements along the property frontage, which should include 22' minimum paved, 6' planter strip, 8' sidewalk, and 3' utility strip all in 39' ROW measured from the street centerline. File 07-103109-SU Doc, LD. 56225 November 9, 2010 Page 9 Assuming a symmetrical cross section, no ROW dedication is required as measured from the street centerline. Please note that additional right-of-way may be needed to accommodate turn lanes as determined in the TIA report. All proposed offsite roadway improvements comply with the dimensions listed above and will fit within the existing right or way as shown on the provided plans. 5. Tapers and transitions beyond the project frontage may be required as deemed necessary for safety purposes, taper rate shall be WS^2/60 or as directed by the Public Works Director. We agree with the taper requirements. Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) 1. Update the TIA report with the new PM Peak hour of 26 instead of using the previous 34 trips. Also, the Traffic department has provided previous comments in memos dated July 3, September 17, and October 1, 2007, and March 14, 2008. Some of these comments have not been addressed, while other comments may not be applicable as the project will generate less trips and connection to SW 314th Street may not be required. Please review the previous traffic related comments and address those that are still applicable. The Traffic study has been update to reflect the request changes. Further the project has paid the necessary application fee for Traffic Concurrency. 2. Verify intersection sight distance analysis at driveway access to SW Dash Point Road in meeting AASHTO intersection sight distance requirement as discussed above. The site distance at the driveway access is adequate and meets AASHTO standards. Please see the revised site distance exhibit for calculations. 3. Provide turn -lane warrants analysis for ingress and egress at the access to SR 509 using the revised 26 total trips. Provide a figure for the new channelization on SR 509 for the turn lane and tapers if applicable. See the revised Traffic Report prepared by Heath and Associates. 4. The TIA contained a Neighborhood Traffic Safety (NTS) section. Pending a modification request from the applicant and approval from the Public Works director, street connection to SW 310 Street may not be required. If this is the case, the TIA should be revised accordingly. A modification request has been submitted with this package for review and approval. 5. Update the Conclusions and Mitigation in the TIA report to be consistent with the new data. See the revised Traffic Report prepared by Heath and Associates. PROJECT STATUS This letter clarifies the additional information that must be submitted prior to preparation and issuance of the environmental determination. This letter also details the information that must be submitted before the public hearing can be scheduled. All other issues to be addressed beyond these time lines have been noted as appropriate. PROJECT CANCELLATION Pursuant to FWRC 18.05.080, if an applicant fails to provide additional information to the City within 180 days of being notified that such information is requested, the application shall be deemed null and File 07-103109-SU Doc, I.D- 56225 November 9, 2010 Page 10 void and the City shall have no duty to process, review, or issue any decisions with respect to such an application. No less than 30 days prior to the lapse of the 180-day notification by the City, the applicant may submit a written request for an extension of the 180-day time limit. The request would be administratively reviewed and can be approved only if adopted criteria are met. At this time it is our understanding all documents have been submitted that would prevent cancelation of the application. Based on the submitted material we anticipate a full review in order to achieve a public hearing date. When resubmitting, please submit six copies of any plans or SEPA checklists, and four copies of any reports with the enclosed resubmittal information form.

CITY OF �EUERAL WAY CDs Project: Soundview Manor #07-103109-00-SU (CES #05170.0) Subject: Right Of Way Improvement Modification Request t1ky'S Dear Mr. Roe, 310 29th Street NE, Suite 101 Puyallup,WA 98372 Phone: (253) 848-4282 Fax: (253) 848-4278 Attached please find our fee for $91.50 for a formal Right of Way Modification Request. The preliminary plat of Soundview Manor is requited by FG/RC 19.135.251 to make a connection to the existing Twin Lakes development at Southwest 314`h Street. We are requesting modification to this requirement and in accordance of FI/RC 19.135.251 which states: Streets shall be provided to develop a street network with a block perimeter of no greater than 2,640 feet, as measured on centerlines. This requirement may be modified if connections cannot be made due to: (1) Topographical constraints (2) Environmentalysenjifive areas (3) Adjacent development not being conducive We believe that it is in the best interest for all parties that the modification be allowed for the following reasons: 1. Topographical Constraints• Steep slopes are present in and around the area of a potential roadway connection. The current configuration of SW Me Street does not meet City of Federal Way's standards for roadway grade. A connection to SW 314th Street would require a tight turning radius. Due to the grade and required turning radius this would create a roadway that would need significant traffic calming devices to insure the safe traffic movement. The vertical differential between the two roadway locations results in a large amounts grading resulting in significant earth movement and native vegetation removal. 2. Environmentalysensitive areas. • The site is in a recognized geologically hazardous area as identified by City of Federal Way code. Grades in the area of a potential connection range from 25%-45%. The elimination of the connection enables the project to maintain the integrity of the slopes and existing vegetation. Elimination of a potential roadway connection benefits both the existing and proposed neighborhoods by retaining more open space and native vegetation while maintaining the integrity of the existing slope. It is also important to note that the elimination of the roadway connection significantly reduces the amount of earth work required onsite, thereby minimizing the environmental impact. 3. Adjacent development not being conducive: In addition to the issues mentioned above the City of Federal Way has forwarded numerous written objections from neighboring property owners expressing their concerns with a roadway connection. The neighbor's had many safety concerns regarding pedestrian interaction with vehicular traffic, the increase in traffic accidents due to the steep roadway grade, sight distances and potential issues from the increase in traffic volumes. It is important to note the revised design incorporates a pathway connection to the adjacent development for community continuity and for school age children to safely walk to and from nearby Twin Lakes Elementary.

Fee responses are in bold. Please note that the fees listed reflect fees as of this date, and that there may be changes to these fees based on fee changes in place at the time of final plat submittal. 1. Final Plat Submittal Fees: The 2011 final plat fee is $2,918.50. King County recording fees will also be required when the final plat is approved. 2. Engineering Review Fees (Plan and Profile): The City collects an $824.50 deposit for 12 hours of engineering review. Supplemental engineering review is billed at $68.50/hour. Inspection Fees: Public Works Inspection fees are $61 per hour. 4. Mitigation Fees (Note: Since the project has not been issued approval, we do not have a SEPA or HE Examiner report to rely on.) Traffic Mitigation Fees — Based on the Traffic Concurrency decision dated 10/09/2007, it appears to be $157,506; will this remain as the amount? The Traffic Division notes that the pro-rata mitigation of $157,506 is no longer valid. With the approved extension dated May 4, 2011, this subdivision project is now subject to concurrency and traffic impact fees. The applicant needs to submit a new concurrency application with a $1,584.00 application fee. The impact fee for the project will be calculated and paid at the time of final plat recording. Based on the current 2011 fee schedule, the impact fee is $3,111.94 per dwelling unit (lot) or $65,350.75 for 21 lots plus $1,960.52 administrative fee, for a total of $67,311.27. Also, there may be other improvement needed to meet concurrency, which will be addressed in the concurrency analysis. From other projects in that area, Traffic has not seen any LOS failures to warrant improvements. ii. Scnooi Mitigation Fees — A school mitigation fee of $4,024 per single-family dwelling unit paid at time of building permit issuance unless deferred until home sale per final plat Ms. Bailey June 3, 2011 Page 2 conditions. This is the 2011 fee, and these fees are adjusted annually by the Federal Way School District. J]'.

I have discussed a bit further with Tom. Although the reports and documents that you have in the file for Soundview Manor are "old", we would still like to obtain copies of what you have. Traffic, TIR, any GEOTECT etc. Also the copies of plan sheets that Tom obtained do not seem to be a complete set, which appears should be 11 sheets? So we would appreciate copies of the most recent complete set of plans. We do already have a copy of the Nov 9, 2010 comment letter the City sent to CES NW Inc requesting additional information. The history of the project and all the historical documents, as well as current information we are able to gather, are needed to complete a thorough assessment report for our client, as they need to be aware of all issues that could potentially affect the property. We have completed dozens of these for Washington Federal. We don't need to come in again and meet with you. We would just like to request the copies to be made available for pick-up.

I have discussed a bit further with Tom. Although the reports and documents that you have in the file for Soundview Manor are "old", we would still like to obtain copies of what you have. Traffic, TIR, any GEOTECT etc. Also the copies of plan sheets that Tom obtained do not seem to be a complete set, which appears should be 11 sheets? So we would appreciate copies of the most recent complete set of plan . We do already have a copy of the Nov 9, 2010 comment letter the City sent to CES NW Inc requesting additional information. The history of the project and all the historical documents, as well as current information we are able to gather, are needed to complete a thorough assessment report for our client, as they need to be aware of all issues that could potentially affect the property. We have completed dozens of these for Washington Federal. We don't need to come in again and meet with you. We would just like to request the copies to be made available for pick-up. We understand there will be a fee. Sorry for the trouble. We'll send a courier with a check when the documents are available. Thank you very much. .5*A , Sandy Bailey I Project Coordinator I Novastar Development, Inc. 18215 72nd Ave. South, Kent, WA 98032 1 (425) 656-7400 Direct 1 (425) 251- 8782 Fax �-4 A S ) �r mm tova5tardev.corn From: Sandy Bailey Sent: Monday, April 18, 2011 3:15 PM To: 'Deb Barker' Cc: Wayne Potter; Tom Barghausen Subject: RE: Soundview Manor records request Hello Deb, Tom Barghausen met with you a while back to discuss the status of this project.

Just to clarify, currently, there are NO approvals for Soundview Manor. No SEPA determination. No Hearing Examiner report, or Council resolution. There IS a current conceptual layout that has been given a "thumbs up" by staff . There are: • conceptual grading, drainage and other civil plans prepared by CES; • a Preliminary Storm Drainage and Erosion Control Report prepared by CES dated Sept 2010; ■ a Geotechnical engineering study and prelim infiltration eval prepared by Earth Consultants dated May 2006; • a preliminary TIA prepared by Heath dated January 2008; and • a wetland and drainage corridor eval and delineation report prepared by Habitat Technologies dated March 2006. There is a November 2010 letter from the City with a request for additional technical information to keep the project active. I just wanted you to know the status of the project.

Tell Cary I said "hi" and congratulations. I'll have to be sure to look him up when I'm there. How would Monday morning work? I have a 1 pm at the office, but I could be in the City at say 10 to do this. I'd like to get PW input too, so if we can double up, that would be great. All I have is an appraisal and a title report. I don't have any plans at all, and would be looking to for sure get a copy of the Staff report, HE report, SEPA MDNS, and all conceptual or (maybe) final engineering plans so that we can assess the costs to develop the site based on the approvals to date. Plus copies of obvious studies that any engineer worth his salt would want such as drainage, traffic, and soils for sure. Wetlands —can't forget that. If it's possible to go ahead and make copies of these so that I can take them with me, that would be great —I'll pay for the copies when I get there. If not, I can flag these from the files —but no reason to make this overly complicated. Let me know if Monday works and I'll see you there. It can be anytime between 9 and 11, but I would need to leave there by noonish. If Monday isn't good, pick Wednesday maybe —anytime.

Unfortunately I am out of the office tomorrow (Thursday). I am available Friday (after 10am), as well as any time Monday through Thursday of next week. You are right that you walked this site in the 80's as Soundview Manor once was a plat project under King County, became an "A" list project after incorporation, and died in the early'90's. The City has been actively working with the owner and his team on this project, and I'd be glad to go over the files with you. Do you want to talk with any PW representatives or catch up with them later after reviewing the file? (And yes, Cary is still here, with yet another new title. He is the Director of Parks, Public Works and Emergency Management).

Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98063 Attention: The Director RE: File #07-103109-00-S4, Soundview Manor Preliminary Plat MAR 2 6 Z009 The Twin Lakes Homeowner's Association had planned on submitting the attached Petition(s) with 529 signatures to the City at the public hearing for the proposed Soundview Manor Subdivision. For some unknown reason, it appears that the public hearing has been postponed. Please accept the attached Petition(s) with "original signatures" opposing the opening of streets to our development (SW 314th Street and 36th Avenue SW) for safety reasons to be a part of the record for the proposed subdivision. We would appreciate you keeping us advised of any changes that may occur regarding the proposed Soundview Manor Subdivision and any effect it maybe have on our development. Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Robert A. Hill Member of the Board Twin Lakes Homeowner's Association PETITION - 314th Street Respectfully submitted to the Federal Way City Council: Subject: Petition against opening up the dead-end street at the bottom of 314t" Street within Twin Lakes, due to many safet and other concerns. Please accept this petition as a demonstration that we, the homeowners in Twin Lakes are united in our stand against what clearly would be a poor decision if the city approves the opening of 314"' Street «7ithin Twin Lakes to join together with the proposed new development named Sound View Manor, along Dash Point Road (509). The idea of a connecting road between Twin Lakes and the proposed development by punching through what is now a dead end street has disaster written all over it. The facts are obvious to all those who live in and are familiar with the area affected. Some of our concerns are: 1. The limited lines of sight at existing Twin Lakes intersections such as 42" d Place SW and SW 314t" Street, compounded by the steep adjacent grades and cars parked on both sides of the streets, would pose a significant, constant danger. 2. SW 314th Street, as it has been developed in Twin Lakes, no longer meets code for street -width if it were to become an arterial or a through street to the ;proposed developmeriL. 3. In the view of three civil engineers, the grade of SW 314t" Street, where it would connect to the proposed development is "too steep to meet radius." 4. The excessive grade makes the road unsafe or unusable with snow, sleet or hail on the ground. 5. The great noise of car, truck and other vehicle engines laboring up that steep grade, and the sweep of headlights into homes from vehicles both ascending and descending the hill between SW Dash Point Road and SW 320t" Street through the 90-degree turns, would significantly damage the quality of life for residents in both developments. 6. This current area of Twin Lakes is a residential area with many children living and playing in the area. If this street were opened up the significant increase in traffic involving multiple streets within Twin Lakes would put the children dangerously at risk. a. More cars — now speeding down the hill because they have a way through — is a terrible idea b. Going through intersections in a car, the driver can't see more than 10 or 15 yards ahead. Breaking and stopping distance would be inadequate for the existing 25 MPH limit and would just be totally unsafe. c. Traffic would be increased even more so as drivers who do not even live in either neighborhood would be using this access as a short cut putting excessive traffic in a residential area. 7. Lastly, and most importantly, if SW 314th Street were opened, the shortest route between SW Dash Point Road and SW 320"' Street would take traffic'",ithin a half block of Twin Lakes EIementar3 School, along 42°d Avenue SW. It is estimated that the increased traffic along 42nd Avenue SW, from the houses in **TURN OVER** PETITION — 314th Street arm Sound View Manor alone, would be several hundred cars a day. Add to this hundreds of additional vehicles (using as a shortcut) going to/from Highway 509/Dash Point Road each morning, as children" to Twin Lakes Elementary School are crossing 42 Avenue SW and other points along this route, is just totally unacceptable and put these young children in danger. There is no need to complete SW 314`h Street. The communities of Twin Lakes and Sound View Manor are much better off without this thoroughfare between SW Dash Point Road and SW 320"' Street. The Twin Lakes Homeowners Association and the residents of Twin Lakes neighborhood therefore respectfully ask the City Council when considering approval of development plans for Sound View Manor that they do NOT include continuing/opening S«' 314" Street. It cannot be overstated that this connection was not asked for by the developers. In fact, the developer did not want it. It was also not asked for by either the FWPD or the F\VFD. Twin Lakes. Homeowners certainly do not want it. It appears the only persons pushing for this new road is the City's Public Works Department as they were the ones who asked the developer to include the connection in their plans submitted to the city. Some history: "Sound View Manor' is a name that goes back to 1989, when another development was proposed for this area. The very points we are making now were -made then. At that tune, King County agreed on the hazard — and so did the Federal Way Cit.,, Council When we fast became a City. Per a Nov. 3, 1989 decision made by King County: "Increasing the traffic at this intersection and at a possible intersection of 31 e SIfJ and Dash Point Road (SR 509) will be an open invitation to traffic accidents and deaths. The slope of 314" SW does not meet Washington State or the Icing Couny, Code requirements for a collector street. In fact, the slope exceeds the maximum slope allowed far mountainous high}vays. It may look flat on a map but one quick visit will clear4j, indicate the need to seriously restrict traffr'cflow on this street': In Feb. 1990: "...the King Corr,ity Trafftc Engineer and Subdivision Technical Committee concluded that the connection of STY314m St. to SR 509 through the proposed plat would not be ill the public's best interest due to these safetj, concerns. " Another Count' decision at that time went on to say that: "The roadway in question would be at grades of 19-20%, which exceeds what is allowed by today's road standards... The Departnent of Public Works determined in 1979 that. it would be extremely hazardous to allow such a connection given the sight distance to the west at this location .... (The recommendation Nvas Withdrawn.) Again, we cannot overstate the safety concerns we have regarding the proposed opening of this street. Opening the road would certainly brink many unsafe situations affecting our children and the quality of life for our residents. Whether keeping SW 314`h closed means revising (or making an exception to) rile City Code or simply revising the project plan, we are confident that these facts as listed above will. allow you to make the correct and necessary decision - - and .NOT allow the proposed road. **TURN OVER** I have read the Petition addressed to the City of Federal Way, in the County of King, regarding the SoundView Manor project including the proposed through street on 314t" Street, and I hereby sign the petition: NAME (LEGIBLE) Rai-4-(►le--?-- Ar I hhYccA,Q Lim Crisp ADDRESS DATE 3� Sn 313�^Si aW. 7 SO si�(J 3 (3 9'-1 i 7 3�56 A) 31 yJ 3750 Syl'3 f3-Flti ,S�� iY-�7 '57 C3a 413'� Oi. osr� 3803 5w. 3LV$U 37c 23Z�r ,6W 01 FtA �5t7 5qot-23,2aa7 15w e i ' Gl S`- , 41 ,3s-b?) t5i� (!513tK M. �)Crt- 2�� 26"'07 �osn nron er�on 3g03 25W ca15tj� S-It J /2-31a7 I I have read the Petition addressed to the City of Federal Way, in the County of King, regarding the SoundView Manor project including the proposed through street on 314t" Street, and I hereby sign the petition: NAME (LEGIBLE) d/4 �/OtLn ADDRESS DATE 31(03 37AYJ-�e S w q1 � 0 3I /i 2 Sw 3z ST ST--p 2Cc 3/', 7 :3 7 %y A .�/ W s� fj -fk st C11- /i" 0Y 9-/V -U 7 � " /�-- d-� q- 2--Z--c-7 I/ I have read the Petition addressed to the City of Federal Way, in the County of King, regarding the SoundView Manor project including the proposed through street on 314th Street, and I hereby sign the petition: NAME (LEGIBLE) ADDRESS _?19�qj 3�;�4�s--> 31 8 q S cU -3 1 (-T' 3l i 3- Sly/ 3 )ol >'?,1t SLO 3t3+A s� DATE S' 2 2z (:3 �S O elo— z a �� � zq L6 l have read the Petition addressed to the City of Federal Way, in the County of King, regarding the SoundView Manor project including the proposed through street on 314th Street, and l hereby sign the petition: N?A',\IE (LEGIBLE) -,A aJ�-- ADDRESS DATE 336 iy AJ-SV J _k PL E- z'J-0W [,� _ 13^� Istv's j 4", ,S s -- 1-2 � - 001> 3 731q 5 (d 3 131"' 5t, Oge' 57 f ly 5=; a K I/ St-eP 31162o .6-7 Aw- �;10 54� eL 3IS 3g; 94) l have read the Petition addressed to the City of Federal Way, in the County of Bing, regarding the SoundView Manor project including the Proposed through street on 314t" Street, and l hereby sign the petition: NT INTE (LEGIBLE) e YRR Lis f /�/,✓6 f// G; j U/;V 7 /` .� �l i� �• % �,vairCrL ��14 z4LZa' S ADDRESS DATE 39 v - sw .ti Sr /Zy/os S/ ��1,1- ZL9oo -g�l' ' y •4&,- k 311 o 0 3&'` &c--.

RECEIVE) MAY ,,.. 7 20H PUBLIC: WORKS DEPARTMENT As a home owner in Division 5 of Twin Lakes, I am adamantly opposed to the extension of SW 314 for this new development. I live one house from the corner of 319th and 36th Ave SW. I can hardly back out of my driveway now — I feel like I need to take a number to exit my own home. Extending SW 314th would only increase the traffic flow. To add more traffic to our already very busy streets is unthinkable to me that you would even consider adding another development to these streets. It will not only be the new development but others trying to cut through off of Dash Point Road. There are established main streets to carry this traffic, Dash Point Road and 320kh Street which were designed as main arterials and should be used by this development. I have lived here for many years and have seen the traffic increase as our own development was enlarged. Adding more traffic to already highly used streets will only increase the problems we now face with speeding, not stopping at the stop signs and etc. I also feel it would increase the potential for more crime. Right now there are only two streets leading out of Division 5 and 6 — this would just open another avenue of entrance or escape to criminal activity. Please reconsider this application.

This would only serve to make SW 314t' Street to be another high occupancy thoroughfare from Dash Point Road. The neighborhood in Twin Lakes would be impacted by the traffic that would posed greater hazard to pedestrians and the elementary school close by. The area now is relatively peaceful and walker -friendly. People wave to neighbors and feel fairly safe. The additional exposure that connecting SW 314t' Street would irreparably harm to character, property values and livability of our beloved area. Please do not allow SW 310' Street to be connected or "extended" in any manner. Thank you, Jerry Payne 4128 SW 314'` St. Federal Way, WA 98023 (253) 874-7498 N"�L)A 3 RECEIVED BY CDMMUNEB' DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Q 3420 SW 32011 Street B-3 Federal Way, WA 98023-2209 Phone: (253) 838-0464 Facsimile: (253) 838-1784 www.twinlakeshoa.co Friday, May 9, 2008 Deb Barker City of Federal Way 33325 81h Ave. South PO Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98063-9718 Subject: Twin Lakes Homeowners Association Board position against the opening of 314th St. for connection to the proposed Soundview Manor development. Dear Ms. Barker: Please accept this letter as a demonstration that we, the homeowners in Twin Lakes are united in our stand against what clearly would be a poor decision if the city approves the opening of 314th Street within Twin Lakes to join together with the proposed new development named Sound View Manor, along Dash Point Road (509). The idea of a connecting road between Twin Lakes and the proposed development by punching through what is now a dead end street has disaster written all over it. The facts are obvious to all those who live in and are familiar with the area affected. Some of our concerns are: 1. The limited lines of sight at existing Twin Lakes intersections such as 42°d Place SW and SW 314th Street, compounded by the steep adjacent grades and cars parked on both sides of the streets, would pose a significant, constant danger. 2. SW 314th Street, as it has been developed in Twin Lakes, would not meet code for street width if it were to become an arterial or a through street to the proposed development. 3. In the view of three civil engineers, the grade of SW 314th Street, where it would connect to the proposed development is "too steep to meet radius." 4. The excessive grade makes the road unsafe or unusable with snow, sleet or hail on the ground. � 0 4 y 5. The great noise of car, truck and other vehicle engines laboring up that steep grade, and the sweep of headlights into homes from vehicles both ascending and descending the hill between SW Dash Point Road and SW 320th Street through the 90-degree turns, would significantly damage the quality of life for residents in both developments. 6. This current area of Twin Lakes is a residential area with many children living and playing in the area. If this street were opened up the significant increase in traffic involving multiple streets within Twin Lakes would put the children dangerously at risk. a. More cars — now speeding down the hill because they have a way through — is a terrible idea b. Going through intersections in a car, the driver can't see more than 10 or 15 yards ahead. Breaking and stopping distance would be inadequate for the existing 25 MPH limit and would just be totally unsafe. c. Traffic would be increased even more so as drivers who do not even live in either neighborhood would be using this access as a short cut putting excessive traffic in a residential area. 7. Lastly, and most importantly, if SW 314th Street were opened, the shortest route between SW Dash Point Road and SW 320th Street would take traffic within a hundred feet of Twin Lakes Elementary School, along 42nd Avenue SW. It is estimated that the increased traffic along 42"d Avenue SW, from the houses in Sound View Manor alone, would be several hundred cars a day. Add to this hundreds of additional vehicles (using as a shortcut) going to/from Highway 509/Dash Point Road each morning, as children walking to Twin Lakes Elementary School are crossing 42" d Avenue SW and other points along this route, is just totally unacceptable and puts these young children in danger. There is no need to complete SW 314th Street. The communities of Twin Lakes and Sound View Manor are much better off without this thoroughfare between SW Dash Point Road and SW 320th Street. The Twin Lakes Homeowners Association and the residents of Twin Lakes neighborhood therefore respectfully ask the City when considering approval of development plans for Sound View Manor that they do NOT include continuing/opening SW 314tn Street. It cannot be overstated that this connection was not asked for by the developers. In fact, the developer did not want it. It was also not asked for by either the FWPD or the FWFD. Twin Lakes Homeowners certainly do not want it. It appears the only persons pushing for this new road is the City's Public Works Department as they were the ones who asked the developer to include the connection in their plans submitted to the city. Some history: "Sound View Manor" is a name that goes back to 1989, when another development was proposed for this area. The very points we are making now were made then. At that time, King County agreed on the hazard — and so did the Federal Way City Council when we first became a City. Per a Nov. 3, 1989 decision made by King County: Page 12 "Increasing the traffic at this intersection and at a possible intersection of 314th SW and Dash Point Road (SR 509) will be an open invitation to traffic accidents and deaths. The slope of 314'* SW does not meet Washington State or the King County Code requirements for a collector street. In fact, the slope exceeds the maximum slope allowed for mountainous highways. It may look flat on a map but one quick visit will clearly indicate the need to seriously restrict traffic flow on this street': In Feb. 1990: "...the King County Traffic Engineer and Subdivision Technical Committee concluded that the connection of SW 314"h St. to SR 509 through the proposed plant would not be in the public's best interest due to these safety concerns. " Another County decision at that time went onto say that: "The roadway in question would beat grades of 19-20%, which exceeds what is allowed by today's road standards... " The Department of Public Works determined in 1979 that it would be extremely hazardous to allow such a connection given the sight distance to the west at this location .... (The recommendation was withdrawn.) Again, we cannot overstate the safety concerns we have regarding the proposed opening of this street. Opening the road would certainly bring many unsafe situations affecting our children and the quality of life for our residents. Whether keeping SW 314th closed means revising (or making an exception to) the City Code or revising the project plan, we are confident that these facts as listed above will allow you to make the correct and necessary decision - - and NOT allow the proposed road. Thank you, and we'll await notice on the next opportunity to be heard.

These main arterials already have traffic control lights in place and are designed to carry a significant amount of traffic, whereas 3 le Street was meant to serve the traffic volume of the existing residential community.

Do not open or extend 314th SW for the following reasons: * The area in question is a steep grade of 19 and 17 degrees with a blind intersection approaching the bottom. PLEASE personally review the site. * Going through the intersection in a car, the driver cannot see more than 10 or 15 yards ahead. Breaking and stopping distance would be inadequate for the existing 25 MPH steep limit. This street does not qualify as a pass through arterial. * Speed bumps are not suitable on such a grade. * The safety and integrity of our neighborhood would be compromised as cars but through our Division from Dash Point Rd. to 320th. 2 The site is very steep with many swales and sandy areas prone to erosion. * Please require more stringent clearing and engineering supervision to assure that all city approved permits are requirements are tightly enforce.. *Insist that a weekly city inspection be required of the developer and builder to ensure there is no possibility of damage to surrounding homes or properties. Please give these concerns your utmost consideration and approval. Requirer these concerns in approving the application.

To all whom it may concern: I will start this letter with the old adage, "hindsight is always 20-20." I'm hopeful that I can articulate the reasons why this street should NOT be opened so that this old adage will not apply to this situation. Unfortunately in our society, there is a huge gap between what cities' "Community Development Service Department" do and approves and those involved in analyzing the cause and contributing factors associated with catastrophic events (accidents, fatal deaths, etc.). As background, I recently retired after 35 years with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA Inspector — Pilot) with one of my primary functions being accident investigation. I have been involved in hundreds and hundreds of aircraft accident investigations and in analyzing the cause and contributing factors associated with these accidents. Some of the accidents that I have investigated definitely had a connect to actions taken by cities through their planners, zoning, rezoning, growth plans, etc., etc.., or in this case the desire or motivation (thought process) that "the more open the roads are the better off we are." I don't mean to bore you or take the focus off the purpose of this letter, but I believe it important to at least give you one example (could give you many more) of what I'm trying to say. One of the major accidents I investigated involving land usage was at the California Sacramento Executive Airport in the mid 1970's. In this case, at the completion of a weekend air show, an F-86 (two -place US fight jet used during the Korean conflict) departed runway 20 at the airport but over rotated (several times) and was not able to get airborne. The aircraft ran off the end of the runway through Freeport Blvd., picking up two vehicles (that were just traveling down the street) and came to rest inside Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor. There were 23 fatalities (mostly children) and approximately 60-70 others with minor to major injuries. This accident sticks in my mind as I arrived at the seen within minutes of the accident as the "Investigator In Charge" for the Federal Government and for nearly four hours one could only hear the screaming and crying of little kids. This was due to the difficulties of trying to remove this jet (needed crane from Air Force base) and smoke/fuel burning as rescue workers could not get inside to help the victims. Because of the time it took to remove the aircraft, none of the people who were trapped and screaming survived. I spent nearly a year of my life on this accident investigation including hearings, depositions, litigation, trials, etc. The pilot (who survived) was definitely responsible, but many other contributing factors were included with one of them being "land usage", (zoning, approval of land use, etc.) I know the city as well as others (including the Federal Government) paid out huge dollars to settle the many many law suits. The question was asked many many times, "How in the world did the city fathers ever allow Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor to be built directly across and in -line with an airport runway"? I hope this example helps you understand my point of reference as I shift to the purpose of my letter and that is, the proposed opening of SW 3141' Street within Twin Lakes. I understand that a city planner's reference is, the more open streets there are the better off we are. In general, I agree but I also think it is important to look at "total impact" and if that impact affects "safety" concerns one should make adjustments. In this case it should not be opened. Twin Lakes Elementary school is located on 32e Street SW and within 100-200 feet of 42"d Ave. SW. As we know, 320'h is a fairly heavily traveled road wherein 42nd is presently used mainly by some 350-400 local residents, and in my opinion considered relatively light to moderate traffic for the type of street. Many of the children attending this school live in the area (north of 320'h in the area of the proposed opening) and are accustomed to a relatively safe environment — walking to school with local residential traffic only. To open SW 314'h to the proposed 28 single-family lots and to open access from SW Dash Point Road will only direct all that traffic to the intersection of 42nd Ave SW and 320d' Street where Twin Lakes Elementary School is closely located. As this "shortcut" is learned by other commuter traffic or residents from other neighborhoods — people wanting to get to/from Dash Point/3201h — we will have even more increased traffic trying to make a thoroughfare through our now safe neighborhood streets. And if and when the homes are built at North Shore Golf Course, these types of "shortcuts" will become even more increasingly popular with commuters thinking that cutting through the side streets of neighborhoods will get them home faster. I have to ask --why would we want to do that??? Oh, I forgot, because the more open roads --the better! As I said before, in most cases I would normally agree with the open road concept, but I do not agree in this case. Twin Lakes Elementary School is bordered by only the two streets (320 & 42nd). To change the characteristic of these streets/intersections by the increased traffic is not in the best interest of the community and certainly will be a significant increased safety risk for all the children living in the area. If one absolutely needs emergency (police/fire) access to the new development (and previous feedback from emergency personnel does not even indicate that), I would suggest as a last resort a chain/gate across the road between the two developments similar to the one between Twin Lakes and Bay View Estates. I'm sure you'll agree that it's important to be consistent within the same neighborhood. Please DO NOT open the street so as to increase the traffic and put the children at a much higher risk of danger. It's bad enough to have one of the two streets bordering the school being high volume (so much so that the city finally installed a street light). We certainly don't need the increased -.� traffic on 42" as well with perhaps more street lights being installed or serious or fatal injuries or people asking "How in the world did the city leaders ever allow this to be?" It is my understanding that the developer initially did not want this street opened - - it was only after first submission of the plan and at the city's request/insistence that he included the opening. Hard to believe our city officials would push this on a contractor/subdivision/existing neighborhood when it goes contrary to all obvious safety and quality of living for its citizens and appears to be in direct contradiction to King County's review and decision of this same subject in the late 1980's. I believe there are many reasons why this street should not be opened, but the main reasons are all safety concerns. Feel free to contact me if any part of my letter is unclear or if I can answer any questions.

We are very concerned about the proposal to open 314th street to Soundview Manor, which will provide an alternative shorter route between Dash Paint Road and 3204' street. This short cut would be through residential neighborhoods. We believe there will be a marked increase in traffic, especially commercial vehicles during the construction phase of the development. This will lead to safety issues, more noise and damage to the residential streets with the heavier construction equipment, concrete, and building supplies vehicles accessing the site. One of the reasons we purchased our home in Twin Lakes is the quiet neighborhood with limited local traffic only. Creating a short cut through our neighborhood will adversely impact the quality of living, safety issues and potentially the value of our homes. A similar situation was encountered when Bay View Estates was built on Dash Point Road. 36th Avenue was blocked off with a gate to prevent traffic from cutting through both Twin Lakes and Bay View Estates residential neighborhoods. We respectfully request that the City of Federal implement a similar solution to 314th Street. Again, we strongly encourage the City NOT to open up 314th street to through traffic and to keep the integrity of our neighborhood.

Currently Twin Lakes has children and grandchildren who play on the streets as well as many children who walk to school.. With all the cars which park on the street, traffic has to weave in and out just to clear the cars. The streets are already over crowded without additional traffic from Soundview Manor. Additionally, it has already been ruled that the slope of 314th SW does not meet Washington State requirements for a collector street and in fact, the slope exceeds the maximum slope allowed for mountainous highways. I don't understand why we are wasting tax payers money when previous studies by King County Traffic Engineers have already concluded that this proposed road would not be in the public's best interest due to the many safety concern?

Those deaths could have been prevented if I had done more than call the City and request that they consider installing devices which would inhibit speed on Hoyt Road in that vicinity a few years ago. We used to live four houses from Hoyt Road on SW 323`d Street and I would worry every morning when my wife took the children to school that an irresponsible driver might come flying around that nearly blind turn and plow into her car. In order to avoid a collision on Hoyt Road I once had to turn my car into the oncoming traffic lane when a speeding car appeared from what seemed out of the blue. On another call to the City I made, a man from the Planning Department drove out to talk to me to provide me with a reason why the City had to spend tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to carve out at least twenty handicap curb cuts along a quarter mile strip which links Hoyt Road with 320'h via 323`d and 43`d Place. This in an area that already has gently sloped curbs. The reason the man from the Planning Department gave me was that the City was afraid of being sued if some handicapped person became injured as a result of crossing the street where a handicapped ramp was not provided. With two dead, I think the speed inhibitor on Hoyt Road would have been a better investment. We have since moved to the cul-de-sac at 39'h Court SW which requires that we turn on to SW 317'h/SW 314'h in order to exit from our neighborhood, which is my purpose for this letter. Your plan to extend and connect SW 314'h to a development which would give traffic a short-cut from Dash Point Road to SW 320'h would create more problems than it would solve. This time rather that making a simple telephone call to the City I am submitting my thoughts in writing and, in order to promote public recognition of the hazards that would be created, I am also submitting this letter to the Federal Way Mirror. My voice was not heard before and two young men died, they would still be alive if the speed inhibitors I envisioned were installed years ago. Those who live on or near the single winding street formed by 42" d Avenue SW, SW 317'h Street, and SW 314'h are aware of the potential hazards that increased traffic would inflict upon our neighborhood. 1. The street is not wide enough to allow for constant traffic. As it is now people are respectful and pull to the side of the road to allow opposing traffic to pass when one car is parked on one side of the road. } When there are gatherings at one of the homes and cars are parked on both side of 314'h/317'h it is necessary to slow down to a near crawl to give way to oncoming traffic. \M� 13 I suggest that you and your crew park cars on both sides of the street along 314t'/317a' and simulate a simple drive through the neighborhood, particularly at the choke points created by the bends in the road. 2, Twin Lakes is a golf community, the only one in Federal Way, and, depending upon the fate of litigation at Northshore, possibly the only golf community within many miles. It is a community enhancement.. One of the reasons the couple who bought our old house on SW 323`a did so was because it would put them in a golfing community (they are budgeting for a golf cart to get them to the Twin Lakes Golf Course) One of the advantages of living in a golf community is being able to drive your own golf cart to the course to play a round of golf. I see people, many being senior citizens, doing so every day and they often use SW 314a'/SW 317'b as part of their route. Think of the hazards created by constant traffic with transient drivers who are not accounting for the vulnerability of the many golf carts that use that street. The section of Twin Lakes that lies north of 320a` acts like a large cul-de-sac wherein only people who live there or are otherwise familiar with the area enter with the exception of service vehicles, and guests who are coming for the first time. What that creates is a population that has respect for the neighborhood and who are knowledgeable enough of the turns on the way to and from a particular residence to cut their speed. Transient traffic using SW314/SW317th to connect with 32CP or Dash Point Road who are merely passing through will not be as conscious of maintaining their speed. My 13 year -old and 8 year -old children walk those sidewalks and ride bicycles on the street to visit friends and the thought of vehicles passing at greater speeds is intolerable. 4. The rise on the hill on 314a' as it currently drops down toward Dash Point Road is steep to the extent that it is a favorite for kids who ride their sleds when it snows. The elevation change is such that an oncoming vehicle is not visible until the very last split second in an oncoming traffic situation, the slightest miscalculation can result in an incident either with children on the street or a vehicle turning from 42"d € 1. onto SW 314a' (Please check this out for yourselves). The grade is also such that it would hinder larger fire and emergency vehicles accessing the area from Dash Point Road. 4. I was told that access for emergency vehicles from the station on Dash Point Road would be improved should SW 314's be connected to Dash Point Road. Why then is it that the emergency vehicles that serve our area that I have seen make their approach from east heading west to our community, the opposite direction that would be taken if they were coming from Dash Point Road? The majority of the emergency and police services that come to our area originate from east of us where most of the fire stations and the police department are located and the significance of those services coming to us from the Dash Point Road area are much less significant if not nil. 5. Providing more than one exit to our area invites criminal activity such as the burglary that took place at our home on SW 323'd a couple of years ago. SW 323`d Street turns into 43`d Place, so our street had exits to the main thoroughfares of Hoyt Road and 320a` and that made our home a target to burglars who knew they had two escape routes. Cutting an access to Dash Point Road provides criminals with another means of escape from our community. 6. We, like other residents, live where we do because it is a quiet area, and our property values are maintained because of that and the efforts of each resident to maintain their properties. If you make a thoroughfare of SW 317'b/SW 31e, the increased traffic will serve to disturb that peace, and affect our property values which have already suffered in the current economy. Solutions such as widening the street would only exacerbate some of the problems I have mentioned. Speed J inhibiting mechanisms will not reduce the amount of traffic, therefore, criminal activity will increase as a result of the flow of transient traffic. The implementation of your plan or proposal can only result in a disintegration of the integrity of our neighborhood and create the potential for more tragedies such as the one that took the lives of two young men on Hoyt Road. a resideneof Twin Lakes go : -#� jQ W Deb Barker, Planning City of Federal Way 33325 8th Ave South ')PO Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98063-9718 Environmental File #07-103111-00-SE Preliminary Plat File #07-103109-00-SU Concurrency File #07-103112-00-CN May 12t', 2008 EIVED B COMMUNITY DEVELMTTD OEEPARTMENT MAY 1 6 2008 Per our conversation, you said to write in with comments related to the above file numbers that reference the proposed short plat, SoundView Manor. 1 would like to add my 2 cents worth. Having lived in Federal Way for 36 years, and in our current Twin Lakes home for 16 years, there are a few things in our subdivision that none of the other Twin Lakes areas have. We are surrounded on three sides by ravines and hills that give us a dead end, no outlet area, with no through traffic. And unless this 314th street gets opened up, it will stay that way, forever. I remember what Division 1 & 2 were like in the early 60's. My folks were going to move out here from Seattle, or tear down and rebuild on Queen Anne Hill. We loved the peace and quiet of a home we saw on 25th SW & 324th. My dad couldn't live with the daily drive down Hwy 99 to Boeing, though, so we stayed in Seattle. When my wife and I saw our present home, it was like that same feeling again. What really amazes me, is we can sit on our back patio in the evening, and it is dead silent. We could be in Ravensdale. There's only minimal traffic on my street of 37th, and most everyone here respects their neighbors and drives accordingly. I can leave the windows open in summer and let the breezes come through, the fir trees whisper in the Ind and it's like being way out in the hills. This is one of the main reasons we're retiring in this house. What I DON'T want is my area to be a shortcut to anywhere, and end up with high traffic and speed bumps, like 35th Ave SW is in division 9 & 10, from 324th to 344th. That's how it got the nickname 1-35, Interstate 35. 1 realize it wouldn't be a shortcut, but actually take longer than going over to Hoyt Road to get to 320th. But there's always some whacko that has to use it that way. And then there's the safetylsecurity concern. Smart thieves know they can get trapped with just two police cars. I like it. Granted, not all are Einstein's, but it narrows the odds. Also makes the wilder young ones think twice for the same reason. For the record, N O on opening up 314t' to the proposed short plat.

I am very concerned about the proposal to open 314'h up to Soundview Manor which will provide an alternative shorter route from Dash Point Road to 320t'. This alternative route passes through a residential neighborhood. Due to increased fuel costs and that "time is money", I believe there will be a marked increase in traffic, especially commercial. This will lead to safety issues, more noise and wear & tear. One of the significant positive attributes of Twin Lakes is the quiet neighborhood with local traffic only. Creating a short cut through our neighborhood will adversely impact the quality of life and potentially the value of my home. When Bay View Estates on Dash Point Road was built several years ago, a similar circumstance was encountered. A gate was built on 36`h Avenue which blocked off traffic between Twin Lakes and Marine View Estates and avoided establishing a short cut through residential neighborhoods. I respectfully request that the City of Federal implement a similar solution to 314' Street. If in the event the City elects to move forward with opening up 314`h Street, I request that during the construction phase of Soundview Manor that all construction traffic be restricted from traveling through 314th Street. Additionally, due to the increase in traffic there are a number of safety concerns. There are a number of uncontrolled intersections which will need to be marked with signage to prevent accidents. Again, I strongly encourage the City NOT to open up 314t' and to keep my neighborhood truly residential with limited traffic.

There is a creek running directly from the plat under Dash Point Road along the property lines of Lots 1, 2, and 3 along 44t` Ave SW all the way to Dumas Bay. The volume of water goes from nothing to a raging river in minutes when it rains. The increase of water volume over the past few years has caused the two properties nearest Dash Point Road to complete major construction along the creek's edge to stop erosion. Last year numerous trees fell into the ravine due to erosion while the rivers path has also been altered due to the increase in water volume. If water volume is allowed to increase the flow thru this natural creek it could create extensive additional erosion causing even more trees to fall and creek banks to erode placing our homes in danger. There is also the concern of allowing additional contaminants to flow into Dumas Bay where this is already a problem with algae and other environmental issues on record. Although we have no objections to new homes and growth in the area, we do have a major concern for the safety of our homes and property. We have watched this dry creek bed turn into a raging river in minutes over the past five years we have lived here. Allowing any additional water volume would place the three adjacent homes in danger as well as adversely impact the land and property the remaining distance to Dumas Bay.

The issue of through traffic arose several years ago when it was proposed that 36th Avenue SW be extended, allowing traffic to cut through the residential area down to Dash Point Road and a new development. This was before our city was created; the county held hearings and did agree to the solution of a locked access gate that could opened by emergency personnel only. The primary objection to the 36th Avenue SW extension was not just the volume of traffic through a quiet street - it was also that the extension would be an overused shortcut and would also become a new challenge to youthful drivers. As you are probably aware, SW Dash Point Road as it drops to the shore has been the scene of racing (and fatalities) for years. We were concerned about having another "teen challenge". Hence, my objection to extending SW 314th Street would be the same as before - there will be a shortcut more heavily used than anticipated, and this particular street has the potential for more more accidents. A requirement for a locked gate would be an appropriate solution to any objection about access for emergency vehicles. May I also request written notification of the hearing when it will occur? Unfortunately, I am computer -challenged and don't have email. Sincerely, David C.

I am against having the road opened to through traffic for the following reasons: * The slope of the street is so steep that traveling downhill, one cannot see at street level approximately 10 feet forward of a vehicle bumper. At present the barrier dead end to the street precludes traveling down the street at any unsafe speed knowing the road abruptly stops. With no road barrier the incentive to proceed slowly down the hill is gone and this presents a very real danger to those of us who walk along this street. * Emergency vehicles can not transition down the street due to the rate of decline. In fact, we have seen emergency personnel park the fire truck and walk down the street to render assistance. * If opened this will create a Dash Point Road and 320th Street alternative connection not currently available. This route would be considerably shorter and for this reason traffic will increase drastically through this residential neighborhood. * School children attending Twin Lakes Elementary walk to and from school on the streets adjacent and connecting to 314th Street.

The effects of doing so include: Traffic where there was none previously Cars entering Twin Lakes as drivers look for new ways through the area An increase in crime, as there would be a new way to exit Twin Lakes Cars speeding downhill on 31e St In addition to those considerations, the streets in the existing neighborhood are so narrow that when cars are parked legally on both sides there is only space for a single lane of traffic.

NE, Puyallup, WA) plan to develop a site along the 4400 block of WE Dash Point Road in Federal Way Dear Ms. Barker: We wish to register our objections to the development of the 4400 Block of SW Dash Point Road, south of SW Dash Point Road, west of 42"d Place SW. Our objections are several: 1. Federal Way still remains an environmentally attractive area with wooded areas, scenic drives and an abundance of wildlife. Recently, however, the beautiful area south of the Aquatic Center on 348th has been quite literally raped for a huge development, and word has it that the wedge area north of Dash Point Road, across from the Metropolitan Market is slated for high density development. Other once beautiful areas ... for example, the region west of Hoyt Road at 348th, and the area above the water treatment plant on Dash Point Road, have in years not so far past also given way to development. Granted, some development is necessary in a growing area, but to turn the remaining most scenic places into high density housing is to ruin the very conditions that attracted many of our residents to move here over the past years. The development described above, coming into a particularly scenic area, would have a devastating effect on the quality of life of those in the area, destroying a natural, scenic area and increasing traffic in an area that, despite its tranquil appearance, already experiences considerable noise pollution from Dash Point Road. Is Federal Way to become an ugly, crowded, noisy place, a city without natural beauty. Why? To pad the pockets of developers and their benefactors? surely the council and the Division of Building and Planning, can envision something better. 2. To cut a forest for housing, thereby destroying natural habitat and disrupting the lives of residents in the area, seems particularly uncalled for at a time when housing closures are rampant across the nation and there is a buyers' market. 0Q[ �)3 area, 3. In addition to the tranquility (despite road noise on Dash Point Road) of the both it and its immediate surroundings to the west (including Dumas State Park) are home to nesting great blue herons, pileated woodpeckers, ospreys, barred, great horned and, occasionally barn owls, varied thrushes and the relatively rare townsends solitaire, all birds that require fairly extensive, non -developed forest land. As forest is cut back for housing development, a point eventually will be reached where these species disappear. The impact of the proposed development is unlikely, by itself, to have such a dire impact, but it opens the way to the next development which, quite possibly, could push the habitat into such a state. 4. Despite the currently fairly low housing density in the general area of the proposed development, dash Point Road has become a major thoroughfare. Access to the proposed development from this road would vastly increase traffic congestion and noise, and would constitute a major, detrimental environmental impact for those living close to the road. If the development ultimately is allowed to proceed, please do not approve access to it from Dash Point Road. 5. City planners, being part and parcel of a democratically elected city government, have a responsibility to the city's residents. A city that has ... and to some extent still can ...boast of its beauty, should not dive recklessly into growth and development that destroy that beauty. It is that beauty that has drawn many past residents and that, if destroyed, will make Federal Way a far less pleasant place to live. What many residents of this city, and most recently those in the Twin Lakes and nearby regions, see is an apparently unplanned scramble to growth, with little or no concern for natural beauty, tranquility, or quality of life, and essentially no consideration whatsoever for current residents in areas slated for further development. All this, of course, may fatten the city's coffers. But isn't the purpose of those coffers to assure the city's residents' quality of life? If it does the opposite, it is a disservice to the residents and to the city as a whole. Exactly who benefits in such a case? Did we elect our government to pad certain pockets at our own expense? Before the City of Federal Way charges straight ahead, further into potential disaster, how about having the citizens see ... and vote on ... a comprehensive plan for the future growth that almost inevitably is to occur here? Is there such a plan? If no, why not? And if so, where can Federal Way residents go to see it ... and act on it? Respectfully John M n L� Ursula .

The grade is approximately 19 As all of you are aware, this steep grade can not be made to meet current safety standards. There are also places on this section of street where the sight distance of drivers is severely reduced. Those of us that live in the immediate vicinity cope with near misses of each other on a regular basis by recognizing the danger and being very cautious. Should the street be opened up we will have a substantial number of continually new drivers on S.W. 314th Street, so that good fortune can not be counted on to prevent death and bodily harm from the accident that will occur. The children who live in the immediate area will walk to and from the nearby elementary school in this very hazardous zone. The danger to all who use our sidewalks will be increased. The City of Federal Way and the Council Members will be individually and collectively responsible for this future stream of foreseeable accidents and negative life changing consequences of these accidents. With these thoughts in mind, we ask that S.W. 314th Street not be extended. Sinc rely■ z Gary d Judith Adams cc: Federal Way City Council t'�Cit '�y Fugewe avid moLa movvtgomeq� si420 42vd Pace S. W.

King County tax parcel numbers 1121.03- 9060 and 112103-9119, Federal Way, WA 98023 We are writing regarding the above parcel of land and the proposed development. We are opposed to the suggested development or ANY development of this land for a number of reasons as follows: We are very concerned that our environment is being compromised every time we cut down wooded areas. We are the "Evergreen State" but will soon be approaching "Concrete Jungle." We see so many "for lease, for rent, for sale" signs. Do we really need yet another development? A recent development was built on Hoyt Road — are those all sold? What is the vacancy rate for commercial and residential? Why does the City of Federal Way keep cutting down trees only to put up more buildings — residential and commercial — which then stand vacant? We think it's time that you, as our City Representatives, step up and join the Green Revolution and put a moratorium on ANY building in the City -- especially when it involves destroying our environment. This particular development is home to wildlife and right next to a Blue Heron's Nest — which are not to be disturbed. You don't think cutting down the surrounding area will disturb the Blue Heron? 2. We are also concerned about safety issues that the extension of SW 314th Street to Dash Point Road will bring. The roads in the Twin Lakes area are not designed to accept more traffic. There is a large grade hill on SW 314t.h and 42"d Place on three different locations. It is difficult to see traffic coming from two of those intersections. Forty Second Place is too narrow to handle the traffic it now receives. When one vehicle is parked on the street it is difficult for two other vehicles to pass each other and impossible when a vehicle is parked on both sides. We have a home .� fl 05 across the street from us (you know the one) that we heard could have up to 14 people living in it at one time. That means more vehicles, more children. With increased traffic will come increased accidents and injuries. It is also very congested at 320th and 42nd Avenue when the Twin Lakes Elementary School children are leaving for the day and their parents are picking them up along that street. Many times children have run across the street without looking and were nearly hit with a vehicle. Adding more traffic to that scenario could be disastrous. We hope you will take our comments and others into consideration and deny the application for destroying yet another wildlife area.

King. County tax parcel numbers 112103-9060 and 112103- 9119, Federal Way, WA 98023 I am a gainst having the road opened to through traffic for the following reasons: • The slope of the street is so steep that traveling downhill, one cannot see at street level approximately 10 feet forward of a vehicle bumper. At present the barrier dead end to the street precludes traveling down the street at any unsafe speed knowing the road abruptly stops. With no road barrier the incentive to proceed slowly down the hill is gone and this presents a very real danger to those of us who walk along this street. * Emergency vehicles can not transition down the street due to the rate of decline. In fact, we have seen emergency personnel park the fire truck and walk down the street to render assistance. ■ If opened this will create a Dash Point Road and 320th Street alternative connection not currently available. This route would be considerably shorter and for this reason traffic will increase drastically through this residential neighborhood. ■ School children attending Twin Lakes Elementary walk to and from school on the streets adjacent and connecting to 314th Street. Our children are not accustom to dodging oncoming traffic on these narrow streets. SinZ'el ly, -4& Ien Stle 31316 42nd Pl SW May 18, 2008 RE: Connection of Dash Point Rd.to 310 St., in Twin Lakes Deb Barker, Senior Planner City of Federal Way 33325 e Ave. S. PO Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98063-9718 Dear Ms. Barker: RECEIVED BY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MAY 1 9 2008 I have become increasingly concerned about the proposed connection of Dash Point Rd. to 314t' St. in Twin Lakes. This connection to Dash Point Road is one block from my house and since I live close to this area, I want to inform you of the impact this will have on the community. As background to this situation, I want to give you my perspective as a distrustful homeowner, two houses away from the half -way house, group home on 42"d Ave. SW. That the Federal Way City Council not only approved this house in my neighborhood but also used tax -payer money to fund it, contributes to why I have concerns over the judgment of City Council and whether they have the homeowner's best interest in mind. This brings me to the issue at hand. First, the hill we live on is very steep and many of the cars who travel this hill go much faster than the 25mph of a residential street. In fact, it is so steep that we have had a snow plow get stuck on the hill and makes me doubt the rationale that it will give better access to emergency vehicles, entering from Dash Point Road. There are already two entrances to our community with easy access from the east and south. Second, I have witnessed three accidents at the intersection of 42°d Ave SW and 314t' St, at my house. The first, since there are no stop signs, was a car coming down the hill at a high rate of speed and a car trying to make it up the hill at a high rate of speed, colliding at this intersection. The second, was a drunk who was wandering without purpose, and crashed into the yard across the street. Third, was a truck that slipped out of gear, ran down the hill at a great rate of speed, taking out a mailbox, tree and finally a car. These are examples of how dangerous and steep this hill is. Third, because of the curvature of the hill, backing out of our driveway is blind to oncoming drivers. Because the hill is so steep, and cars pick up speed as they go down it, we have nearly been hit on several occasions. Increasing the traffic flow on this street will only make all of these situations more plentiful and dangerous. As a result of the increased traffic flow and my concerns for the judgment of City Council noted in my background paragraph, I am not confident that City Council has the best interests of there constituents in mind. Knowing of the above situations and that a �►DN J-7 decision to open 314t' St. to Dash Point Rd. would only aggravate the traffic, I feel the City would be ne lig`ent to open this street to increased traffic. Last, I would like to point out the precedent that has been set with the gate to Bayview Estates. The Gate to Bayview went through the hearing process years ago, has worked well, protecting the homeowners of Twin Lakes and protecting the integrity of the community. Increased traffic flow would expose our community to more crime and decrease our home values similar to the effect of the group home. Please, this time, listen to the homeowners, and respect our perspective. Who better would understand this particular situation than the homeowner who lives on the street. Sincerely, LUI � �c�2 Robert J.

This parcel is on a ravine(dry creek bed) with very steep grades heading directly down hill to the sound. The soil is held in place by the vegetation. Remove the trees and hold the soil in place with retaining walls and pavement? Do we really want Federal Way to grow as a city at any cost? Taking away the green belts takes away the reasons many choose to reside in our beautiful area. I purchased My house in Twin Lakes because it is an old established area with the old growth trees, Quiet and moderate traffic. Please, please consider how this development would change the environment, ecology and lives of the residents in the surrounding neighbors. I truly hope you will deny the application for development of Soundview Manor.

The bulldozers and excavators followed, scraping away the topsoil and leveling the land to golf - course smoothness. By this summer, the first of 166 homeowners will move here, to a place called McCormick Woods, west of Port Orchard in Kitsap County and a mile upstream from Puget Sound. It's an unremarkable transformation that happens every day. And it's one of the biggest threats to Puget Sound. The way we grow is undermining our promises to protect and restore Puget Sound, and could hobble a new rescue plan on which we may be asked to commit as much as $18 billion on top of the $9 billion we already expect to spend by 2020. It happens one creek at a time as bulldozers and pavement disrupt the natural flow of water through the ecosystem, destroying habitat and sending billions of gallons of polluted runoff into the Sound. At McCormick Woods the next victim is Anderson Creek, once one of the most unspoiled streams flowing to Sinclair Inlet. Today, there are plans to build hundreds of homes around it. "Bye-bye, Anderson Creek," said Ed O'Brien, a stormwater engineer for the state Department of Ecology. Even as we continue to push to protect Puget Sound, the entire effort is up against the fact that we also need to make room for as many as 4 million more people who could move here this century. And as we do, we are gradually eating away at the Sound's finely tuned water -cleaning system by leveling as much as 10,000 acres of forest every year. There's no overt conspiracy to hurt the Sound. Instead, the damage is happening in the pursuit of cheaper land and economic development, a longing for big backyards and a resistance to http://seattletimes.nwsource. com/html/localnews/2004405985_growth_stormwater2OmO.ht... 5/ 13 /2008 Local News I The painful cost of booming growth I Seattle Times Newspaper Page 2 of 5 urban density, and a need to keep home prices within reach of average people. There are success stories. Cities no longer routinely pump partially treated sewage into the water. Some of the most polluted places, such as bays next to cities, are getting cleaned up. Some toxic chemicals are on the decline in animals. Factories today are much more restricted than 40 years ago in the pollution they pump into the Sound. Yet we still struggle to protect Puget Sound and at the same time make room for everyone to live the way they want. • Efforts to regulate stormwater are politically toxic, and state officials have balked at tougher, more costly controls. • The developments we allow lag behind the latest stormwater designs, because many county and city goverments are still using 16-year-old rules. • Even the newest engineering standards, some of the strictest in the country and ones that could add thousands of dollars to the cost of a home, aren't enough to stop the damage. • Perversely, developers who try promising new approaches to addressing stormwater face red tape that creates costly delays or hurts effectiveness. "The implications for the Sound are dire," said Gene Duvemoy, president of the Cascade Land Conservancy, a Seattle -based nonprofit that works to preserve undeveloped land. "Puget Sound is a funnel. Anything that we do at the top end of the funnel comes out at the bottom end." The damage runoff does Four decades ago, stormwater runoff wasn't considered an environmental problem. After all, it wasn't chemical pollution pouring from factory pipes or sewage plants. So builders dug ditches and laid pipes to send runoff to the handiest stream. The result was quiet environmental decay. Surging water flooded and scoured streams. Rain rushed off roads and rooftops, washing pollution into rivers. Today, stormwater flowing into Puget Sound is a slow-motion oil spill, amounting to millions of gallons a year. Leaking septic tanks ruin shellfish beds. Pesticides wash off lawns into streams. Copper poisons salmon, scrambling their ability to smell predators. Toxic flame retardants used in everything from televisions to mattresses enter the Puget Sound food chain, winding up in harbor seals and orcas. Dirt smothers fish eggs Coho salmon have been filmed going belly -up in Seattle streams after encountering a gush of stormwater. Creeks now go dry in the summer because we've messed with the groundwater that used to replenish them. The state first tried to tackle the problem 16 years ago. In 1992, the state Department of Ecology issued an engineering manual describing how to build the pipes and ponds that cope with the rainwater flowing from developments around Puget Sound The approach called for channeling water into big holding ponds, where water would dribble out, reducing creek erosion from uncontrolled gushes. Dirt and pollutants would settle to a pond's bottom instead of washing out to creeks and eventually the Sound. But within a few years, it became clear the designs weren't working well enough. The man-made holding ponds were too small to handle a good Puget Sound winter soaker. So Ecology tried again with new engineering manuals that called for bigger and more costly ponds to catch even more stormwater. But the state didn't make them mandatory So most local jurisdictions haven't made changes. At McCormick Woods near Port Orchard, Kitsap County commissioners promised in 2003 to require builders to follow the most up-to-date stormwater standards. At the same time, they approved what will http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htmlllocalnews/2004405985_growth_stormwater20m0.ht... 5/ 13/2008 Local News I The painful cost of booming growth I Seattle Times Newspaper Page 3 of 5 amount to a small city with a business park, shopping, and more than 4,000 homes and apartments, ranging from big houses along a golf course to modest ones aimed at first-time buyers. Yet they didn't change any county stormwater rules. Kitsap County still follows the 1992 manual. That's not unusual. Snohomish, Skagit, Pierce, Thurston, Mason and Island counties all follow the 1992 manual, and so do countless cities. Kitsap County hasn't wanted to commit the time and effort to overhaul its engineering standards, which it adopted in 1997, said Jeff Rowe-Hombaker, assistant director of the Community Development Department. He also questioned the worth of the state's newer standards. "Until its mandated, most organizations don't really act," he said. New rules, same problems Now most local governments don't have a choice. The Ecology Department plans to force many, including Kitsap County, to adopt its newest stormwater engineering manual by August 2009. But scientists — and even the Ecology Department's own experts — say the new standards won't protect Puget Sound either. The simple fact is this: Its nearly impossible to get pipes and ponds to imitate a forest. The new stormwater designs screen out some pollution, but not all of it. And pavement still prevents rain from soaking into the ground Even a little development can do a lot of damage Stormwater scientists have found that when the amount of roads, rooftops and parking lots surrounding a stream — called "impervious surfaces" — goes above even 5 percent, it means environmental decline. That's trouble for Anderson Creek at McCormick Woods, currently home to steelhead, coho and chum -salmon runs. When construction is finished, the creek is expected to be 40 percent surrounded by impervious surface. At that level, scientists expect a big drop in wildlife, including fish, songbirds and amphibians. Two years ago, a group of 14 scientists and engineers finally had enough. They wrote a letter to a 2006 Puget Sound commission appointed by Gov. Christine Gregoire, saying "little hope should be held for restoration of Puget Sound" if sweeping changes weren't made to address stormwater. The scientists called for severely restricting new construction near healthy streams, stopping deforestation, engineering developments to let rain soak into the ground, and replacing antiquated stormwater systems But the proposal was dismissed as "wholly unrealistic and naive" by the Master Builders of King and Snohomish Counties, one of the state's most powerful building lobbies. The association's executive, Sam Anderson, said new stormwater systems hadn't been used long enough to declare them a failure. Ignored, developers say, is the cost more regulation adds to the price of new homes, putting them further out of reach of average people Builders complain that the newest stormwater requirements will add thousands to the costs of building each house. They point to a new study from a University of Washington economist saying land -use regulations have already added $200,000 to the price of an average Seattle home. Peter Orser, president of Quadrant Homes of Bellevue, the arm of Weyerhaeuser that starts five new homes around Puget Sound every workday, argues that new -home builders shouldn't bear all the burdens of restoring Puget Sound. After all, there are plenty of older neighborhoods that dump stormwater into the Sound with virtually no control "We don't go in there to rape the land," he said. "Everything we do is done in the lowest -impact development we can." Do permits have teeth? This is the climate that Jay Manning, the state Ecology director, landed in last year when he announced reforms meant to change the way we deal with stormwater. Manning praised the new approach as "one of the most important steps that this agency has taken in many years" to deal with the problem. But the new rules — contained in a permit most cities and counties need under the Federal Clean Water Act — were compromised from the start because of opposition from business and local governments. http://seattletimes.nwsource.comlhtmlllocalnewsl2004405 985_growth—stormwater2OmO.ht... 5/ 13/2008 Local News I The painful cost of booming growth I Seattle Times Newspaper Page 4 of 5 Under the permit rules, which the Ecology Department wrote, dozens of Puget Sound cities and counties would finally have to start following Ecology's latest engineering manual. To upgrade antiquated stormwater systems in most places around the Sound, developers who tear down an old building to put up a new one would need to control more runoff. And some counties and i cities, for the first time, would have to start monitoring stormwater systems to see if they work. But Mike Grady, a top policy adviser for the Seattle office of the National Marine Fisheries Service, the federal agency in charge of protecting Puget Sound chinook and orcas, says the permit doesn't go far enough. It sets no limits on the amount of toxic chemicals allowed in stormwater, he said. The permit also doesn't require any of the latest, environmentally friendly development methods. "To me it comes down to, when are you going to draw a line in the sand and say, 'These standards are not protective to fish, so let's not pretend that they are,"' Grady said. The Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the fisheries service have told the state Ecology Department that the permit should go further. But department leaders have been unwilling to try, in part because of politics, according to internal memos In 2003, Bill Moore, the department's lead stormwater-policy adviser, acknowledged in a memo to top Ecology department managers that fully protecting water quality would require much stricter rules. But that would mean a bruising backlash from business and locai government that could hurt the chances for progress, he said. Moore recommended that the department instead aspire to a permit that was "adequate -to -good." For example, the Ecology Department decided counties and cities can let developers in most places off the hook in following the new standards, if they build on less than an acre. That was despite opposition from some of the agency's own experts, who warned research showed many small developments could add up to significant damage. Environmental groups are now suing the Ecology Department to get tougher rules. But on the other side, a host of cities and counties are suing to block the new permit, which they argue is unduly burdensome and costly. In a recent interview, Moore defended his agency's position. Stormwater permits alone, he said, can't conquer a much more fundamental issue affecting Puget Sound: where and how we build. Think low -impact So where and how should we be building around Puget Sound, a place where millions of new residents will all want their own places to call home? Environmentalists and some developers say low -impact development is one answer. The state is starting to promote it, and some local governments say they want to change their rules to allow it It turns out it's easier said than done. The idea sounds simple: Design developments to act more like forests by allowing rainwater to soak into the ground through permeable pavement with tiny holes. Build special gardens to soak up the rain that sluices from gutters. Some even suggest building houses on short columns that leave the forest floor untouched. But the concept runs up against decades of habits and rules: the assembly -line methods of major developers, concerns that low -impact methods are unproven and bureaucrats wedded to old methods. Today, only a few adventurous developers dare to try new approaches But many complain of costly delays, roadblocks and outright opposition from government officials resistant to trying something new. At McCormick Woods, Kitsap County promised to encourage developers to use these low -impact techniques. But there's little sign of it at a new Quadrant Homes project under construction there. The company says that a layer of tough, claylike earth — a common problem in Western Washington — makes novel approaches to stormwater management unworkable because the water won't quickly soak into the ground. Quadrant made a similar argument in Snoqualmie, persuading the City Council to reject a plan requiring low -impact development for much of its massive Snoqualmie Ridge development. The company is trying it in a few places there. Still, Orser, Quadrant's president, says he's afraid the low -impact approach will make homes hard to sell to people unaccustomed to the look. He also worries the novel strategies will fail if homeowners don't maintain things like rain gardens. http: //seattletimes.nwsource. comlhtmlllocalnewsl2004405985_growth—stormwater2OmO.ht... 5/ 13/2008 Local News I The painful cost of booming growth I Seattle Times Newspaper Page 5 of 5 But some of the area's top low -impact experts say the builders are copping out, and low -impact methods can still work with customized approaches to each project, instead of cookie -cutter formulas "It's way easier for those guys to come in and do what they've always done until there's some regulation that comes in and tells them to do something else," said Curtis Hinman of Washington State University, who has written a widely used manual on low -impact development. Partners in restoration In 2007, with huge fanfare, the Legislature approved a new state agency, The Puget Sound Partnership. Its supposed to lead a restoration of the Sound by 2020. As it formulates an overarching strategy, its leaders have vowed that stormwater and development issues will be prominent parts of the effort. "We have to grow differently," said David Dicks, the partnership's executive director "There's just no two ways about it." In a recent draft report, a group of experts convened by the partnership called for a dramatic overhaul of the state's myriad environmental laws, instead creating a single set of rules governing the land around Puget Sound. It also recommended a single group or superagency to oversee the new regulations. "We do not reach this conclusion lightly," said the report, which is meant to be part of a broader study underpinning the final cleanup plan. "however, in this case we believe it is warranted. The region has tried the uncoordinated, diffuse approach and it has not achieved success." But the Puget Sound Partnership has little power to create rules or enforce standards. Instead, the agency has been assigned the task of writing a recovery plan, doling out money to governments and nonprofit groups, drumming up public support and nudging local and state agencies in the right direction. Brad Ack, who headed the state's previous Puget Sound agency, the Puget Sound Action Team, points to recent compromises as a possible preview of things to come. The governor's 2006 Puget Sound commission recommended incremental improvements in the handling of stormwater, triggering criticism from scientists who said it wasn't nearly enough When the commission responded by suggesting a task force to look at the problem, the builders' lobby fought back. The task force was quietly scrapped. Stormwater was "the gorilla in the room that we came right up to and touched ... but nobody was willing to confront," said Ack, who now works for a group that promotes sustainable seafood harvesting. "People just said, 'We don't have time to deal with that.

WE WISH TO NOTIFY YOU OF OUR OPPOSffION to the development of the 4400 Block of SW Dash Point Road, south of SW Dash Point Road, west of 42nd Place SW at SW 31e Street "as extend —King County tax parcel numbers 112103-9060 and 112103-9119, Federal Way, WA 98023. ESPECIALLY, do we object to the use of SW 310 Street as throughway access to the aforementioned property!

We have lived at our present address— South West 31e Street, west of 40 Avenue South West, and adjacent to the intersection of South West Dash Point Road and 47th Avenue South West —since October 2001. During the past nearly seven years, we have frequently observed Great Blue Herons, Pileated Woodpeckers, and several species of hawk nesting within and around the subject property; we have seen osprey and bald eagles there during the day and heard Barred owls there at night. A traditional multi -nest rookery for Great Blue Heron has existed in the woods adjacent to the Park/Bird Sanctuary at Dumas Bay each year since we moved here and, according to neighbors, for decades prior. Simply because "a (single?) Great Blue Heron nest" was found "south" of the proposed development site is no reason to suppose that the site itself has not served as a multi -nest rookery in the past or that development of the site would not discourage herons from continuing to nest upon on adjacent land. In our view —one shared by many of our neighbors —such green belts as the subject site represents are precious to maintaining both quality of life for community residents of all specie and, parenthetically, to supporting property values for homeowners. We question the wisdom of Westbrook Investments, LLC of Puyallup, WA and of their agent, Laurie Harvey, with CES NW, Inc. of Fife, WA in discounting both: the limitations of a site that is watershed to a Category II wetland, and the safety/noise concerns of residents around and within the proposed multi - home development when the site itself is termed "steeply sloped" and additional road access is to be via an existing steeply sloped road----i.e. South West 314ih Street. Additionally, that portion of 3140' Street is directly in -line with the street on which we live —South West 313`h Street —and we shudder to think about the additional traffic noise and night-time light `pollution' that removal of forest for any connection of 314'h Street to South West Dash Point Road via the proposed development site would create. Furthermore, we question the wisdom of those in your office which, by allowing connecting road construction for the proposed development, would be exhibiting complete lack of consideration... (continued, p.2) , 0 Page 2 May 16, 2008 ...for neighboring Federal Way residents, many of whom have been living in and paying taxes to FGng County long before Federal Way was incorporated, and, moreover, who have been paying taxes to support a city government which exists not only to collect taxes but to respect and uphold the will of its citizen/constituents. There is a disturbing pattern of allowed over development and of a lack of foresight on the part of city Planners that has become apparent within the City of Federal Way (The City) over the last few years. This is evidenced by the systematic "saturation development" permitted by The City in which more People are invited into a city that seems to exhibit sensitivity only toward the interests of the business community, developers in particular, with no consideration for the needs and wishes of its residents: more protected green space; more areas set aside for recreation & play when was the last created?! ; more intelligent designlretrodesign of intersections [e.g. the intersection at SW 356th Street and 21st Avenue S. with the transition to 22nd Avenue S. is already overtaxed and The City's ill -planned "solution" was destined to become obsolete even before the recent roadwork there was completed! — where was the opportunity for public input on that project?! The best solution —realigning 21st Avenue with 22nd Avenue around the Shell station and through a portion of the parking area NW of the intersection of 356th Street and 21st Avenue —disappeared when the city approved the building permit for the new building in that focabon!]; and better access between 1-5 and main city thoroughfares [the mess at SR 181S, 348th Street116th Avenue S./Enchanted Parkway/Pacific Hwy S.IS.356th Street continues to get worse with no apparent attempt made at a solution, yet The City continues to allow rampant, seemingly unchecked development in the immediate area —Crossings & Federal Way Marketplace —with no regard for the additional pressure the encouraged concentration of traffic in that area would have on an already over -burdened road system!]. The City seems to want to attract more people to this area yet continues to make no plans to accommodate additional residents once they are here. Instead of holding developers, both commercial and residential, accountable for negatively impacting local traffic, our city planners and those in the land -use office have adopted a "build what you want/wherever you want/however you want" attitude toward developers; and, in turn, residents are left with virtually no improvement to local infrastructure (a few pwthetic, planted sidewalk strips which Federal Way taxpayers inevitably pay to have maintained) and the bill: for providing quality public education and school facilities and resources for MORE students, for enlarging roads to accommodate MORE traffic, for providing services for MORE people. The City of Federal Way is blessed to be situated in such a beautiful art of the Pu et Sound r ion and, indeed, in such a beautiful part of the world. But The City needs to act sensibly and responsibly on behalf of its citizens by saying "No" to developers once in a while in order to protect that which remains of what drew people —including us —to this area in the first place. We do not want our community to become —as it continues to be bull -dozing toward— ust another area jammed with malls and fast food places that is indistinct from any other as stop along the 1-5 corridor!!

Box 9718 Federal Way WA 98063-9718 Michael and Mary Kate Dudley 4120 SW 315th Street Federal Way, WA 98023 Soundview Manor Preliminary Plat Dear Ms Barker, r; 4MM�N1 E O. 9 �o08 We would like to open this letter by thanking you and the other members of the City of Federal Way for your efforts toward making our community a wonderful place to live. Through your efforts we have seen many improvements in our infrastructure, most notably traffic improvements in our more congested areas, i.e. 320th and I-5 and highway 18 and Enchanted Parkway. Thank you for your ongoing efforts. As members of the Twin Lakes community we would like to bring some concerns to your attention regarding the impact of the continuation of SW 314th Street into the planned Soundview Manor development. Our first concern is for the community as a whole and regards traffic changes that may result from this proposed change. The streets in our section of Twin Lakes are narrow and, with all the cars parked along our roads, most notably 42nd Ave SW, there are already traffic issues without the additional traffic this development will create. Another issue in our community is the traffic, both foot and auto, created by Twin Lakes Elementary School. Parents park along 42nd Ave SW near the corner of 320th to pick up their children after school. While this practice does not currently create a problem for the current level of traffic, the city must look at the effects that Soundview Manor traffic will have on the school traffic as well as the safety of the children in this area. Since there are no traffic signs in Twin Lakes community the traffic through our community tends to operate at a rather fast pace and has a tendency to not stop at corners prior to making turns. The additional traffic from the Soundview Manor development will invariably add to this unhealthy mix of traffic. This, coupled with the parking on both sides of our narrow streets, will only add to an unhealthy mix off traffic. Finally as a family we have issues with the traffic issues that Soundview Manor will have on our location at the corner of 42 Ave SW and SW 315th Street. Our driveway is located right at the "T" where 42nd Ave meets SW 315th Street and the current situation \'�oPr 3I makes getting into and out of our driveway interesting at best. In order to pull out you must clear in three directions when pulling out and we are not looking forward to trying to merge into the additional flow of traffic this new development will create. And, while we are at it, let's admit it will not be only the Soundview Manor traffic we will be contending with it is also all the other traffic that will be taking the shortcut from 509 to 320th! Recent sales in our neighborhood have brought our little area younger families that we welcome to our community however we also worry about these young, 6 through 12 years of age, having to live with this additional traffic near the intersection of 42 Ave SW and SW 315th Street. Also on 41st Ave SW near the corner of SW 315th Street we have two deaf children and we worry about the affects this additional traffic burden will have on them. As an alternative to the opening of SW 314th Street to 509 we would like to suggest that the city consider doing what the city has done in other parts of Twin Lakes and is a common practice throughout Western Washington, having emergency access available when necessary. Although this might not be the best situation it should be the only solution until other infrastructure changes are made that will actually alleviate the anticipated traffic increases. We are confident that given the City's forward -looking mien that you will do the right thing. Please take these concerns to heart when making your decision. Any decision you make will affect how we live in Twin Lakes. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration in this matter. 4!�ichael udl ey Mary Kate Dudley M Nr.95 fog L r May 19, 2008 ,GMMUN!TVo R'ELE0, MD 8 yPAR7Ag1 P►, MAY 1 9 �008 Director of Community Development Services City of Federal Way, 33325 8th Avenue South PO Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98063-9718 RE: Official Public Comments for Sound -view Manor Preliminary Plat, KC tax parcel numbers 112103-9060 and 112103-9119 To Director of Community Development Services: The following letter is submitted as official documentation related to the above referenced preliminary plat submittal. Please incorporate these into the official public records for consideration to the Hearings Examiner. The transportation analysis report provides pre and post development level of service, transportation loading modeling, and sight distance analyses along the proposed intersection of Dash Pt. Road and Soundview Drive. This transporation analysis (vertical and horizontal sight distance) is not conducted at the new proposed connection to SW314th Street. In addition, the transportation analysis is `localized' only for sight distance evaluations, while trip modeling provides more regional impacts from the proposed development. Please note that the development of this proposed plat would immediately impact the SW 314th and 42"d Place SW intersection if connection is approved. This places a safety concern at the SW 314th and 42nd Place SW intersection since both horizontal and vertical sight distqwe is a major problem currently at this intersection. With the design speed set a0mph and the posted speed at 25 mph, the sight distances are not obtainable at this intersection. With additional loading from the proposed Soundview Manor development to this existing intersection, new accidents to kids, cars and property is expected in the future at this intersection. The City should place utmost concern to public safety, but opening of the SW 314th Street would increase accident rates in this historically quiet residential neighborhood. From the 2006 transportation presentation done by Mr. Rick Perez, City transportation engineering manager. Mr. Perez stated that the first policy (of the three main policies) of the City's comprehensive plan was to provide safety to residents. If this development is allowed to connect, then this policy would be violated. In addition, the connection is mainly for emergency purposes, therefore having a road `connection' is required for this number of new lots, but having a gated knox box type of gate would be advantageous for the District Fire and Emergency services while protecting lives at the SW 3101 and 42nd Place SW slee Page 1 5/19/2008 Nn�33 intersection. Please review this proposal for consideration as a condition of approval for the development to maintain safety along SW 314t` (with 19.1% existing roadway slopes) and while providing increased emergency services to existing residents along SW 314'' with a gated opening for emergency purposes, but closed for flow through traffic. 2. Slopes are in excess of 12% that is typically what emergency vehicles need to climb slopes. In addition, over 12% slopes makes maintenance vehicles, vactor trucks, and other heavy service vehicles difficulty in servicing proposed catch basins that if filled, would be problematic for maintenance if access is not possible. In addition to District Fire Marshall approval, the City's Maintenance Manager should recommend and provide comments to the proposed grades proposed within the plat. 3. The preliminary TIR report was not posted at the counter on May 15''. A call was placed to Deb Barker, City Senior Planner, on Monday, May 19te. This report was placed on the counter on Monday. A review was not possible at this late juncture for the preliminary TIR drainage report. 4. A call was placed to the engineering reviewer, Ann Dower, on May 19t' about the detention analysis level sizing method used to size the detention facility. It was stated that the detention pond was sized with a Level 1 method that states no downstream problems is presently existent. Calls have been placed by Mr. Harold Ransom (parcel #8731990290) in the past to King County prior to the incorporation of the City of Federal Way, regarding problems from runoff via the existing SW 314'h Street to the Dash point drainage system that eventually discharges to the Dumas Bay via an inventoried stream with a categorized wetland connecting to it immediately to the west of the two parcels being developed. Mr. Ransom should be interviewed to investigate the existing stormwater problems and erosion problems he's experienced in the past. At the minimum, his testimony should be included within the downstream/upstream drainage analysis report. This should be noted in the preliminary TIR. In addition, downstream (with %4 mile), parcel #1121039128 or more commonly known as 31102 40 Avenue SW, presently has very steep banks at the back yard of their property that abuts the steep banked stream. If additional runoff from this development is to further degrade the side -slopes and erode the banks of this parcel and it's downstream parcels, then problems may exist in the near future. Historically this area has very rich abundant till soils that is prone to erosion, but also aids in providing rich habitat to the water species. Evaluation of the downstream analysis report provided by CES, Inc., the engineering consultants, should consider the use of a Level 11 at the minimum for this proposed development. 5. The detention facility sized is very small for the size of the plat especially considering the existing conditions of the site is primarily forested conditions with slee Page 2 5/19/2008 conversion to grass, roads, pond -impervious, etc. Staff should investigate the calculations further. 6. The project currently drains so much natural drainage to the wetlands located to the west of the Soundview Manor. This project needs to provide `clean' water to this wetland that mimics the existing hydrology and landuse draining towards the wetlands. Clean water would be runoff from roof leaders and not runoff from pesticide and fertilized areas from grass. The existing plans does not appear to mimic the existing hydrology based upon my preliminary 2 minute review of their p-plat plans. The TIR needs to be examined for an explanation of continuance of the existing drainage pattern. 7. The 18-foot high wall appears to be `block' walls as depicted on sheet GR2.2. In addition other walls greater than 6 feet in height appear to be proposed throughout this plat. The use of an 18-foot high wall will require structural considerations and review, but with structurally designed concrete reinforced walls, the appearance would be unsightly. Consideration should be used to be better grade the site and `step' walls throughout the site instead of utilizing one huge wall at the perimeter of the pond. Also, an 18-foot high wall adjacent to the pond poses a hazard to kids. Kids will scale fences easily and may endanger themselves. 8. The proposed storm -filter vault is a recently allowable code from the Department of Ecology that is hard to maintain and costs taxpayer's money to maintain. These vaults contain cartridges that must be inspected and removed frequently, therefore an HOA that services these structures would be posing environmental problems in the near future from lack of knowledge on maintaining the structure. Due to the steep grades heading into this structure, the erosivity hazard possible from this development from the steep grades and the mass grading from the site, the proposed stormfilter system would be prone to frequent upkeep. If upkeep is to be maintained by the City maintenance department, it is a cost upon all City taxpayers. Therefore, consideration (conditions of approval) should be given to proposing a two -celled water quality and detention structure for this development that would be less cumbersome to existing taxpayers. 9. The collision history within the transportation report only provides collisions up to 2005. This history is inconclusive and lacks substantive data since a couple of deaths each year happen along Dash Point road in this stretch of the area. Trees, grades, shade, and slick road conditions are all contributors to this stretch of Dash Point Road and connection to this street poses problems in the future. As a condition of approval, a note should be added to obtain WSDOT connection approval with this plat and to satisfy all WSDOT codes and regulations. 10. Staging and stockpile areas are staged very far away from the exit into and out of 1 the plat. In addition, a note should be placed on the p-plat plan sheets that state slee Page 3 5/19/2008 that SW 314t' cannot be accessed due to excessive dust and noise in a residential neighborhood. The wheel wash should be placed near the exit of the plat and not further uphill where it can again take on more mud prior to exiting the plat via Dash Point Road. 11. The soils report was not present in the package placed on the Federal Way counter. This plat and the City should note that fill was placed along the sloped areas (19.1% roadway along SW 310 Street) and it's properties. Sandy loam material fill in excess of 5' to 7' were placed on properties downhill of the intersection of SW 314t' Street and 42°d Place SW. This soil substrate material is prone to liquidification with excessive ground reverberations caused from trees falling and heavy equipment pounding to create the connection to SW 314tn Street. The soils report should include evaluations on allowable equipment usage close to the proximity of this fill area and care during compaction of soils during construction. Two trees have been taken down in the near past in the proposed development and just from the fallen trees, vibrations in our homes have been felt. We are concerned about movement along this slope especially with water loads and vibrations present. The soils report should analyze this potential hazard. Thank you for considering these comments and concerns. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (206) 501-5708 or at steve ellc.or .

We are sure that our neighbors have raised many safety issues concerning this extension and we support all of these concerns, especially those restricted lines of sight for drivers, the steep slope, and dangerous intersection of 42nd Place S.W and S.W. 314th Street. Rather than repeating these safety concerns, we would like to a address another serious concern about the impact this extension will have on the quality of life here in our neighborhood. Not only will this extension raise the amount of -traffic and noise in our neighborhood, it will change the kind of traffic by encouraging those looking for easy criminal targets to cruise our streets. Currently everyone leaving our division of Twin Lakes must return to South 320th Street via one of only two exits. Crimes of opportunity are rare in our neighborhood because those who tend to commit such crimes rarely travel into areas with few escape routes. In our earlier discussions about Soundview Manor, we were surprised and disappointed to learn that it was the City staff that required the extension of S.W. 314th Street under the philosophy that connecting all roads and neighborhoods is good planning and should be incorporated whenever possible. While we agree that connecting areas is a good general planning concept, we believe exceptions should be seriously considered when the connectivity decreases existing values while adding nothing. This extension of S.W. 314th Street is an excellent example. Please delete the extension S.W. 314th Street from this project.

Our concern is that the plans in File 07-103109-STJ / 07-103111-SE, is requesting the extension of SW 314th St to the proposed development and significantly increase traffic through our neighborhood where our children play. We live at 31521 39th Ave SW, which happens to be on the bend of this proposed street extension, where visibility is significantly decreased because of the natural curve of the street. The increased traffic due to commuters and neighbors to save travel time between 320th and Dash Point Rd would multiply the potential of children being struck by these cars. We ask that if this street is required to be a through street that you please choose to insert i a blockade similar to the one currently placed in our neighborhood at the end of 36th Ave. SW. The precedence has been set for this within the neighborhood and I have been told by families living on this street that it has kept traffic from flowing between the developments but still offers access to our city's firefighters and law enforcement if necessary. It is not necessary to increase the danger of our children. Please do not allow the extension of this street to be approved without placing a blockade to prevent the increased traffic through our neighborhood. We sincerely thank you for this consideration and would be happy to provide any additional feedback or clarification if needed to assist in this decision making process. i rds, Waka Morales Federal Way Residents since 1995 BGG.

We are opposed to the development of these parcels if they will lead to the opening of 314t" Street SW. 1. This is a well developed neighborhood with distinct boundaries and traffic patterns. These patterns serve all of the residents of this area of Twin Lakes with the security of knowing that vehicles that may be on the prowl will be noticed as out of place and that they must exit at only one of two points. This bit of security that we enjoy will be disrupted with the proposed change of opening 314t" 2. Traffic noise will increase with the proposed opening. 3. Safety of residents who enjoy walking with their children and or dogs will be decreased. 4. More chance of persons cruising the neighborhood to look for an opportunity to do mischief. 5. The sight distance up the hill from the lower section of 314"' to the intersection at 42"a is already almost blind and an increase in traffic will be sure to have some disastrous results when a collision occurs there. 6. This is a quiet place to live and opening the traffic through this well established neighborhood would not benefit the City of Federal Way in any way other than to increase the opportunity for crime and accidents. Please consider that we moved to this location because of the limited access by the public and the quite atmosphere that it affords. Please consider that the upside to opening this street would be far outweighed by the negative effects.

PO Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98063-9718 MAY 2 X 2008 Subject: Opposition to the opening of SW 314t` Street within Twin Lakes for "Serious Safety Concerns." To all whom it may concern: I am writing this letter in concern of the safety of my children and the safety of the others living in my neighbor. I have lived in this neighbor for the majority of my life. I appreciate the fact that it is a safe place with relatively light to moderate traffic and I recognize the people driving though the neighbor as well. Usually people that know others give a common respect of safety to one another, for example if I knew there was a deaf child that lived down my street I would be extra cautious. That is the beauty of a small enclosure area; it has boundaries of safety that surround the house in it. When I was in High School, my car was hit in front of my house, and the car speed away into the darkness. In quick thinking, my father was able to get into his car and drive after him, thinking he would never find the person, who did it, and that all was lost. To my luck and the beauty of the boundaries of the neighbor the person got turned around in a cul-de-sac and was brought back to where the accident occurred. If there would have been an open road, the person would have been able to drive away and never seen again. Which bring me to this very concern of the high volume of traffic and the concern for the safety of my children, what happens if one of my children were playing in the yard and someone drove by and kidnapped one of them? The high volume of traffic brings in strangers that I don't recognize and the possibility of that car being able to drive away and never be seen again. I understand that could happen either way but with the boundaries closed off and risky factor goes down, which is one of the reason I live here. With the extension, the road in front of my house would become a "short cut" to people wanting to get to/from Dash Point/320a' in a rush not thinking about the children or elderly living in the neighbor. Plus Twin Lakes Elementary is a block away from my house. Every day I see children walking home from school, they are accustomed to a relatively safe environment. This is a safe place for the kids to play and grow up, opening up the road with \ao R 2"9 * increase volume of traffic will increase the risk of children getting hit by cars and increase the level of danger. - I am concerned about the increase population the extension will bring as well, such as littering, racing, noise, vandalism and robbery which will bring down the property value. I have worked very hard to live in a place where I feel is safe and has a low risk factor. I would like my children to grow up in a place where they feel safe and comfortable as well. Please DO NOT open the street to increase the traffic and put the children at a much high risk of danger.

As we understand the proposal, the developer and City want to open the dead-end of 314th to directly access Dash Point Road (SR 509). This creates incredible safety issues for our neighborhood and its residents. The grade of 314tb is over 18%, having had it surveyed in the early 801s. This grade does not allow good visibility for either motorists and/or residents, especially little kids. Lines of sight with a grade like make for very limited visibility. In fact, during that time period, we as local residents argued against a proposed opening of 314th to Dash Point Road, and King County agreed with the danger and committed to maintaining the dead-end status. The intersection of 314tb and 42°d Place as it exists is very severely sight - limited, and any additional traffic would again create a very unsafe location. We are led to believe the City desires two points of access to any new residential area, but opening our area to Dash Point Road's heavy, fast traffic is untenable. For safety access, we would suggest the developer putting in two access streets to accommodate the needs. An alternative would be to install a break -away gate, as exists between Twin Lakes and Bayview Estates, and also at 315th Street and the 49/50th intersection. Our concern is not to stop the right of developing, but rather to ensure that imprudent traffic planning does not adversely impact our neighborhood's safety. Please call if you might have any questions.

O. Box 9718 33325 8"' Ave S. Federal Way, WA 98003-9718 Dear Ms. Barker, The other evening, I attended a meeting at which Mr. Richard Perez, City Traffic Engineer, described the City Code by which, you the members of the City Council will have the opportunity to approve or disapprove the Sound View Manor Development project and consequently the opening of 314'h Street through to Dash Point Road. I commend Mr. Perez for trying to conduct a meeting to a rather hostile crowd of 80 — 100 concerned citizens that are against the opening of 314'h Street. Previously, a number of citizens had written their concerns to you, and his job, at the meeting, was to try and explain the rational. His interest was traffic mitigation once the street is put through. Our interest is not to have the street opened in the first place. What I took away from the meeting was the City Councils', or perhaps your interest in changing the way we live. Taking away our neighborhoods and cul-de-sacs in the interest of "connectivity" is absurd. It was probably not the current Council that adopted this Code, but it is this Council that has the power to either change the code or permit exemptions to it. Quite frankly, I've lived here on the same street for over 20 years. I like Federal Way because it has the type of neighborhoods that I prefer. If I wanted to live in a neighborhood full of "connectivity," I would move to Seattle or Tacoma. Why is it that City Council, past or present, deems in its wisdom that "We The People" want to be subjected to the same downfalls as other large cities? What is wrong with the way we live now? I live on a street with a cul-de-sac. Most on the street have lived in the neighborhood for many years. We know who belongs on our street and who does not. We know what cars belong on our street and those that do not. Because we are what you might call an "old-fashioned" neighborhood, that knows and helps one another, we have very little crime. The only break-in that occurred on our street happened in the middle of the day. We saw him and gave chase. He had parked his car at the end of the cul-de-sac so that he knew he could get away. Although a full description of the man and his car were given to police, he was never caught. Cul-de-sacs may not prevent crime in a neighborhood; by they do provide a deterrent. One break-in in 22 years is a 61 Ms. Deb Barker Page 2 June 7, 2008 crime statistic that should be encouraged not discouraged by the vision of policymakers that want to make "connectivity" vogue. Although I don't live on or near the affected area, I do have a vested interest in their neighborhood as well as my own. If you, the City Council, can change a neighborhood against the will of its people, then at some point you will come into my neighborhood and change the way I live. They have a right and should have a say into something as dramatic and affecting as putting in a through street into their neighborhood. At the meeting, Sound View had a couple of their engineers in attendance. They commented that they are willing to change their plans and already have contingencies to accommodate both the neighbors of Twin Lakes and still fulfill most of the Code in question. This included a couple less houses and two entrances and exits on Dash Point Road. They said they have no vested interest in opening 314'' Street. Listen to the people, the Councils' voting constituency, DO NOT OPEN SW 314T' STREET. I look forward to receiving answers to my questions in paragraph four.

Federal Way, WA 98003 JUN 10 2008 I would like to add my name to those protesting the opening of SW 314`h St. This would have a direct bearing on the amount of traffic on our corner. When we get a black ice day, our neighbors on 41" Place SW have to leave their cars around us, because of the steep slope leading to their homes. The same is true on RO'. When you have autos parked on both sides of the street, there is barely enough room for one car to pass through. I realize that there is a code that we are to conform to, but the City Council has the authority to change that code. If they do not, it will be like an accident waiting to happen. I do believe that this opinion is shared by all of the residents in this area. Sincerely, Ira Quint �, b A y 5 June 7, 2008 Arthur F.

Box 9718 Federal Way, WA. 98003-9718 Dear Ms. Barker: I have been following with interest and concern the proposed Sound View Development Project and specifically the opening of 314th Street through to Dash Point Road. I understand, based on the meeting held on May 29a` and in correspondence from concerned Federal Way residents that current city codes require connectivity for the size and type of the proposed development. It is also my understanding the City Council may modify the codes as it pertains to this current requirement if circumstances warrant such a modification. In my view there is ample justification for modification of the requirement: We, as Federal Way residents have been very clear and vocal in our opposition to the opening of 314a` Street and 36a` Avenue SW. We have cited the projected increased traffic and corresponding safety issues, the steepness of 310, and 36'h Ave SW with resultant line of site issues, the narrow streets, and of course a vulnerability to crime. In addition, the City Council must recognize and consider the major negative impact the opening of these streets will have on our standard of living, property values, and our expectations when we invested in this neighborhood. Previous decisions by the Police and Fire Departments and King County found the current gated situation on 36 h Ave SW acceptable, and should remain as such. The Sound View developer is willing to make concessions regarding his development that would not necessitate the opening of 31e. The City Council must listen to its constituency and preserve our community by modifying the code, and not opening 314'' and 36t' Ave. SW to Dash Point Road. Sincerely, Arthur F. Fregoso `I \'�'ORy& RECEIVED BY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMEN i Ted and Sue Stock 4022 SW 313' St Federal Way, WA 98023 June 9`h, 2008 City of Federal Way Director of Community Development Services Attn: Deb Barker, Senior Planner P.O. Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98003-9718 Dear Ms. Barker: At the meeting on May 27'h with Richard Perez from the City, we counted about 90 Twin Lakes homeowners present. Surely there are at least another 90 that would like to have been there. These homeowners make up a significant constituency of the City Council. We will be a very unhappy constituency if the Council ignores our concerns and desires and allows for the connection of SW 314d` St. to Dash Point Road. Those present at the meeting were unanimous in their opposition to the city's plan, and they likely represent the views of all the homeowners from Twin Lakes who were not there and the future Soundview homeowners who certainly will not want hundreds of extra cars a day coming off of Dash Point Road into and through their neighborhood. By now, you have likely heard all of the valid reasons why homeowners object to the city's plan. Frankly, we just don't see a good reason why hundreds of extra cars per day need to go through our neighborhood. The current configuration has worked well for forty years. Residents here like living in a neighborhood with cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets which provide a more secluded living environment. If not, we would live in Seattle! One of the concerns that was addressed in a letter by Mr. Perez was safety of pedestrians. He stated that of the 102 collisions involving bicyclists and pedestrians since 1997, none have occurred in Twin Lakes. Let's keep it that way! Regarding the safety concerns of hundreds of extra cars using the very steep intersection of 42nd PI SW and SW 314d' St, he stated that no collisions have been reported at this intersection since 1997. I wonder why. Let's keep it that way! We all know that codes are subject to interpretation and modification. They are, presumably, established for the benefit of the citizens involved. However, if there is 100% opposition to the city's attempt to enforce the "code", then who benefits? Nobody. Even the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan Policies discourage and conflict with the city's plan. TP 37 states: "Keep through traffic to state routes and arterials. Discourage the use of local or neighborhood streets for through movements." SW 314t` St. would certainly be used for through movements if opened to Dash Point Road. One of the codes states that no street or combination of streets shall function as a cul-de- sac longer than 600 feet. Also, we understand that the code requires a neighborhood of more than 25 homes to have two ways in and out. Three solutions to these requirements would be to change the configuration of the development to: 1) reduce the size of the development to 25 homes, 2) reduce the length of the longest street distance to 600 feet, and 3) have two entrances to the development off of Dash Point Road. The obvious solution is to install an emergency gate on SW 310, St. between Twin Lakes and the new Soundview Manor development. Emergency personnel could instantly open this gate electronically. It would have a very little impact on the response time, much less than the delays to emergency response caused by installing speed bumps as traffic mitigation. The gate option has served the Bayview Estates development well, and the residents on both sides of the gate are happy with it. Good fences make good neighbors. However, if we are unsuccessful in stopping the opening of 314`h St., then the gate into Bayview Estates must be removed. If our neighborhoods must be opened to traffic from Dash Point Road (against everyone's wishes), then at least the impact would be spread between the two openings. Thank you for your consideration of our concerns. We look forward to discussing these issues further at the upcoming public hearing and city council meeting. Sincerely, Ted G.

Within this formal objection to the proposal for the extension of SW 314th Street into the proposed development, I submit the following. The streets in Division Five were not designed and are not suitable to accommodate a significant increase in vehicle traffic as proposed by the developer. Reasons why this proposal should not be approved by the city include but are not limited to: • The streets in Division Five are strictly residential and not thoroughfares such as 47' Ave. SW, and/or SW 320th St. In homes along the proposed route, many children and pets are present. • Streets such as SW 13th, SW 314th Street and 42nd Place SW, are woefully inadequate to accommodate additional through traffic. 0 SW 314th St. is only thirty-six (36) feet and six (6) inches wide, curb -to -curb. • Many residents and guests must park their vehicles on both sides of the street, resulting in reduced available traffic driving area. • One of the streets used to short-cut through Division Five is 41't Ave SW. This street is posted as a deaf child area. With this in mind, should an incident occur, it is clear that the city must assume responsibility due to increased traffic resulting directly from the extension. The entrance to the affected residential streets fall squarely between two of Federal Way's public Schools, which are a very short distance apart on SW 320th Street. • Opening SW 314th St. to more traffic from the new development as well as from traffic channeled from numerous other areas onto SW Dash Point Road then into the Twin Lakes residential areas will promote heavy use by automobiles, No � y 3 pick-up trucks and heavy equipment through a residential area with increased noise, congestion and auto pollution. • Homeowners back out of their garages onto the streets, which in this case will be with obstructed views of oncoming traffic from over and down the hill, such as is the case at 4122 SW 314th St. Traffic speeds proceeding down the hill will be faster due to increased volumes regardless of posted speed limits. • All homeowners affected by this proposal to create a new thoroughfare will be absolutely negatively affected by immediate and drastic reduction in property values which in turn, will of course, significantly reduce the city's property tax revenue. The negative effects on the Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club will require costly time-consuming in-depth studies as relates to devaluation of the land in general. • The cost to the city will be extreme in light of the required installation of additional traffic lights on SW 320th Street, traffic volume studies, the installation of numerous speed bumps on the residential streets, new signage and road zone marking. The extension of SW 314th St should not be considered or allowed.

We are "citizens of concern" and are opposed to having SW 314`h Street open in Twin Lakes to the new development "Soundview Manor". Y We are opposed to because the steepness of 3141h and there are already too many accidents there as it is. ■ The steepness and a grade of 19% is a hazard and is difficult for emergency vehicles as it is and we understand that it would be more difficult if these vehicles come from Dash Point to 314th Ave SW. • If Soundview Manor was built there would also be a line of sight problem when going out because of the curves in the road on Dash Point. We would like to be informed when there are going to be any public hearing(s) and a City Council meeting(s) concerning this issue. We can be reached at the above address and phone numbers and our email is bicandee@comcast.net. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and put us on the list for future correspondence related to this matter. Thank you for your time in this matter. Sincerely, Barbara and Les Candee Residents of Twins Lakes Deb Barker, Senior Planner City of Federal Way 33325 8th Avenue South PO Box 9718 Federal Way WA 98063-9718 Subject: Extension of SW 310 Street June 12, 2008 DECEIVED BY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT JUN 13 2008 The proposed extension and opening of SW 314th Street west of 42"d Place SW is definitely not a good alternative because: 1. This relatively narrow street is currently the route for children going to Twin Lakes Elementary School. 2. Even if the end of the street is blocked with a gate like the one between Twin Lakes and Bay View Estates (which we feel is a better option), the children from Bay View Estates/ Sound View Estates can still use this route if they go to Twin Lakes Elementary School. 3. If the street is opened to two-way traffic the children going to Twin Lakes Elementary School will be in serious danger. 4. The street is very steep and this increases the danger of opening it to two- way traffic. 5. The combination of steepness of grade, narrow width, homeowners cars parked on the street, and curvature of the route will prevent this being a safe two-way street. An emergency gate such as the one existing between Twin Lakes and Bay View is a safer option. We have been homeowners in Twin Lakes for 30 years. We purchased our home because of the restricted access into the area. Opening up another entrance into our area will create more traffic accidents and provides another exit for possible criminal activity. The City of Federal Way has let us down in the past (Oxford/Compass House and now the Muslim extended family project in violation of our CC&R's single family status). We hope you will now honor the safety of our children and restore our faith in the City Council.

Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98003-9718 Dear Ms. Barker: JUN 1 3 2008 We are writing this letter to inform you of our great concern over the proposed opening of SW 314t' St to create access into a new housing development (Soundview Manor). We fear that the connection of SW 314`h St. to Dash Point Road will cause highly detrimental changes to our Twin Lakes neighborhood's - character and in particular, to its safety. In addition, the King County study advised against this extension because of the very steep, nearly 20% grade, which severely limits the standard sight distances for drivers. This poses a threat for all drivers, pedestrians, and especially children at play and walking or riding bicycles to and from school. The neighborhood is highly opposed to this plan as was evidenced at the recently held meeting. Even the Soundview developer does not want this through -street connection as it will add from 600 to 1,700 vehicles per day traveling through the neighborhood. Because the current plan for the Soundview development involves over 25 houses, the code, as presented by Mr. Richard Perez at the May 27, 2008 meeting, calls for two access roads into and out of the development. We understand the good intentions of this code; however, we believe its affects on our neighborhood will be unduly burdensome to the residents because of property devaluation, reduced safety, and the character of the neighborhood —a character that we very much enjoy and, which was a primary factor that brought us here to live. We believe that the code should be amended thereby preventing hundreds of vehicles to pass through this small and quiet residential area. Instead, simple solutions would be to: 1. limit the number of houses in the Soundview development to 25 or less, 2. or provide 2 access points into the development from Dash Point Road. A third option would be to install a locked gate between the Twin Lakes neighborhood and the new development. Emergency vehicles would have the ability to open the gate. The developer has indicated the company is willing to pay for such a gate. We urge you to consider changing or amending this code as it not only will affect our neighborhood, but in Mr. Perez's opinion, another 50 to 100 neighborhoods in the Federal Way community. It is within your power to protect the safety, property values, and the quality of life in this neighborhood that means so much to us.

Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98003-9718 RE: Soundview Manor Proposed opening of SW 314th and possible opening of 36th Ave SW to Bayview Country Estates. Dear Ms. Barker, We have been following this issue since its inception and would like to make additional comments regarding the increased traffic and safety concerns that would be created for this community if the tract is approved as submitted by the Soundview Manor developers. Opening SW 314th as an ingress/egress for the Soundview Manor would especially affect the safety of children going to and from the Twin Lakes Elementary school. Because of the steepness of SW 3141h a "line of sight" is obscured and safety to all citizens would be compromised. The possible opening of 361h Ave SW to Bayview Estates as discussed at the traffic meeting on May 29, 2008 would add additional concern because of the steep grade with the curve and the narrow width of this residential street. Safety issues would be compromised by increased traffic; loss of line of sight, speed acceleration due to a downhill grade and probable vehicle and citizen accidents due to the narrow width of the street. We do not support the NiMBY philosophy; we do however, feel strongly that approval of the Soundview Manor plan as is does not explore all options available. We request City Council require the developer review and modify their plan to accommodate Twin Lakes citizens which would still fulfill the Code in question for the development of their project. With an amended, approved plan eliminating the opening of 314th and the gate at 36th, City Council will meet their obligation to the citizens of Federal Way who voted them into their council position; and also provide consent to the developer.

Within this formal objection to the proposal for the extension of SW 314r' Street into the proposed development, I submit the following. The streets in Division Five were not designed and are not suitable to accommodate a significant increase in vehicle traffic as proposed by the developer. Reasons why this proposal should not be approved by the city include but are not limited to: • The streets in Division Five are strictly residential and not thoroughfares such as 47`h Ave. SW, and/or SW 320`h St. In homes along the proposed route, many children and pets are present. + Streets such as SW 13`h, SW 314`h Street and 42nd Place SW, are woefully inadequate to accommodate additional through traffic. • SW 314`h St. is only thirty-six (36) feet and six (6) inches wide, curb -to -curb. • Many residents and guests must park their vehicles on both sides of the street, resulting in reduced available traffic driving area. ■ One of the streets used to short-cut through Division Five is 41" Ave SW. This street is posted as a deaf child area. With this in mind, should an incident occur, it is clear that the city must assume responsibility due to increased traffic resulting directly from the extension. • The entrance to the affected residential streets fall squarely between two of Federal Way's public Schools, which are a very short distance apart on SW 320`h Street. • Opening SW 314`h St. to more traffic from the new development as well as from traffic channeled from numerous other areas onto SW Dash Point Road then into the Twin Lakes residential areas will promote heavy use by automobiles, No � y3 pick-up trucks and heavy equipment through a residential area with increased noise, congestion and auto pollution. • Homeowners back out of their garages onto the streets, which in this case will be with obstructed views of oncoming traffic from over and down the hill, such as is the case at 4122 S\V 314`h St. Traffic speeds proceeding down the hill will be faster due to increased volumes regardless of posted speed limits. • All homeowners affected by this proposal to create a new thoroughfare will be absolutely negatively affected by immediate and drastic reduction in property values which in turn, will of course, significantly reduce the city's property tax revenue. The negative effects on the Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club will require costly time-consuming in-depth studies as relates to devaluation of the land in general. • The cost to the city will be extreme in light of the required installation of additional traffic lights on SW 320`h Street, traffic volume studies, the installation of numerous speed bumps on the residential streets, new signage and road zone marking. The extension of SW 314`h St should not be considered or allowed.

Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98003-9718 Dear Ms. Barker, We are responding to the meeting held at Decatur High School on May 27`h, 2008. We are "citizens of concern" and are opposed to having SW 3141h Street open in Twin Lakes to the new development "Soundview Manor". • We are opposed to because the steepness of 314th and there are already too many accidents there as it is. The steepness and a grade of 19% is a hazard and is difficult for emergency vehicles as it is and we understand that it would be more difficult if these vehicles come from Dash Point to 314`h Ave SW. • If Soundview Manor was built there would also be a line of sight problem when going out because of the curves in the road on Dash Point. We would like to be informed when there are going to be any public hearing(s) and a City Council meeting(s) concerning this issue. We can be reached at the above address and phone numbers and our email is b'candee comcast.net. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and put us on the list for future correspondence related to this matter. Thank you for your time in this matter. Sincerely, Barbara and Les Candee Residents of Twins Lakes N0 � SD Deb Barker, Senior Planner City of Federal Way 33325 8th Avenue South PO Box 9718 Federal Way WA 98063-9718 Subject: Extension of SW 310' Street June 12, 2008 RECEIVED BY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT JUN 13 2008 The proposed extension and opening of SW 314th Street west of 42"d Place SW is definitely not a good alternative because: 1. This relatively narrow street is currently the route for children going to Twin Lakes Elementary School. 2. Even if the end of the street is blocked with a gate like the one between Twin Lakes and Bay View Estates (which we feel is a better option), the children from Bay View Estates/ Sound View Estates can still use this route if they go to Twin Lakes Elementary School. 3. If the street is opened to two-way traffic the children going to Twin Lakes Elementary School will be in serious danger. 4. The street is very steep and this increases the danger of opening it to two- way traffic. 5. The combination of steepness of grade, narrow width, homeowners cars parked on the street, and curvature of the route will prevent this being a safe two-way street. An emergency gate such as the one existing between Twin Lakes and Bay View is a safer option. We have been homeowners in Twin Lakes for 30 years. We purchased our home because of the restricted access into the area. Opening up another entrance into our area will create more traffic accidents and provides another exit for possible criminal activity. The City of Federal Way has let us down in the past (Oxford/Compass House and now the Muslim extended family project in violation of our CC&R's single family status). We hope you will now honor the safety of our children and restore our faith in the City Council.

Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98003-9718 Dear Ms_ Barker: JUN 1 3 2008 We are writing this letter to inform you of our great concern over the proposed opening of SW 314`h St to create access into a new housing development (Soundview Manor)_ We fear that the connection of SW 3 le St. to Dash Point Road will cause highly detrimental changes to our Twin Lakes neighborhood's - character and in particular, to its safety_ In addition, the King County study advised against this extension because of the very steep, nearly 20% grade, which severely limits the standard sight distances for drivers. This poses a threat for all drivers, pedestrians, and especially children at play and walking or riding bicycles to and from school. The neighborhood is highly opposed to this plan as was evidenced at the recently held meeting. Even the Soundview developer does not want this through -street connection as it will add from 600 to 1,700 vehicles per day traveling through the neighborhood_ Because the current plan for the Soundview development involves over 25 houses, the code, as presented by Mr. Richard Perez at the May 27, 2008 meeting, calls for two access roads into and out of the development.

I am against having the road opened to through traffic for the following reasons: * The slope of the street is so steep that traveling downhill, one cannot see at street level approximately 10 feet forward of a vehicle bumper. At present the barrier dead end to the street precludes traveling down the street at any unsafe speed knowing the road abruptly stops. With no road barrier the incentive to proceed slowly down the hill is gone and this presents a very real danger to those of us who walk along this street. * Emergency vehicles can not transition down the street due to the rate of decline. In fact, we have seen emergency personnel park the fire truck and walk down the street to render assistance. * If opened this will create a Dash Point Road and 320th Street alternative connection not currently available. This route would be considerably shorter and for this reason traffic will increase drastically through this residential neighborhood. * School children attending Twin Lakes Elementary walk to and from school on the streets adjacent and connecting to 314th Street. Our children are not accustom to dodging oncoming traffic on these narrow streets.

Sure. I can still run a few hydrological models to test for myself if their Level Us for detention purposes are adequate and comment on their calculations. I fully understand your unbiased review will be the sole source engineering review, but you can use my noted public comment to further examine the engineering review if you wish. I will wait for their revised TIR report then based upon the first round of technical comments by staff. The few hundred people in the HOA are interested mostly in the traffic first I know. I'm mostly interested in the water, sound increases from the new development with less screening of trees from the state roadway (not described in the SEPA from my quick glance), and the environmental impacts associated with the mass clearing of trees that may affect wildlife that is adjacent to the Dumas Bay Sanctuary. This is why my interest in the wetland, storm -water impacts that affect wet water habitat and eventually the avian wildlife that also prey on the wet habitat. I'll be sad when the frogs leave the wetlands after the development. That was what happended when the erosion happened in the steep slope development on Hoyt Road with the erosion from the site having been washed into the ditches and downstream into the streams. Some habitat was lost there from that Trinity Developer with poor surveying having been done on the site. This project will have a more profound environmental problem if erosion, increased flows, etc. impacts are unmitigated downstream. Thanks for your correspondence on this project and I look forward to seeing their revised TIR calculations. I need to keep reminding myself that the preliminary submittal may not have the correct pond sizing and they may be using just preliminary 'guesses'. You may want to walk the 1/4 mile downstream and look at the steep till soil slopes susceptible to erosion. That maybe why Sean asked for the Level 11 analyses. Wait a little while though since the flows down there are very high right now from higher groundwater contributions to that flow right now.

Are the few hundred people interested in the storm water, traffic, or both? I know there is a group concerned about sight distance related to the extension of SW 314th Street. I had not heard about the downstream erosion problem you mentioned, but it appears that Sean was concerned and required a Level 2 downstream analysis. I've attached his first round of comments if you're interested in reading them. Since then the engineer has resubmitted plans, but not the TIR for further review. Your comments on storm water are good. I would be very interested in seeing your calculations if you are willing to do that. Since I am required to do a complete review of my own, I can't rely on your material, but can take it into consideration as public comment. I think it might make more sense to wait until they turn in a new TIR. If you want to see it, I will make it available when it comes in. The site is shown in King County data as 7.22 acres. I will visit the site before I begin review, but Google Earth only shows forest. They are required to design to existing site conditions as they existed prior to 1979, which at this point I would consider to be 100% forested unless they can prove otherwise. I'm not sure what FW regulations you checked? Keep in mind, when commenting on engineers or developers, that all a -mails that I send or receive are public domain. I appreciate your input.

The preliminary plat of Soundview Manor is required by FTIAC 19.135.251 to make a connection to the existing Twin Lakes development at Southwest Me Street. We are requesting modification to this requirement and in accordance of FTC 19.135.251 which states: Streets shall be provided to develop a street network with a block perimeter of no greater than 2,640 feet, as measured on centerlines. This requirement may be modified if connections cannot be made due to: (1) To constraints. (2) Environmentalysensitive areas (3) Adjacent development not being conducive We believe that it is in the best interest for all parties that the modification be allowed for the following reasons: 1. Topographical ConstraintsSteep slopes are present in and around the area of a potential roadway connection. The current configuration of SW Me Street does not meet City of Federal Way's standards for roadway grade. A connection to SW 314th Street would require a tight turning radius. Due to the grade and required turning radius this would create a roadway that would need significant traffic calming devices to insure the safe traffic movement. The vertical differential between the two roadway locations results in a large amounts grading resulting in significant earth movement and native vegetation removal. 2. Environmentalysensitive areas. • The site is in a recognized geologically hazardous area as identified by City of Federal Way code. Grades in the area of a potential connection range from 25%-45%. The elimination of the connection enables the project to maintain the integrity of the slopes and existing vegetation. Elimination of a potential roadway connection benefits both the existing and proposed neighborhoods by retaining more open space and native vegetation t '^) while maintaining the integrity of the existing slope. It is also important to note that the elimination of the roadway connection significantly reduces the amount of earth work required onsite, thereby minimizing the environmental impact. 3. A#aeent development not being conducive: In addition to the issues mentioned above the City of Federal Way has forwarded numerous written objections from neighboring property owners expressing their concerns with a roadway connection. The neighbor's had many safety concerns regarding pedestrian interaction with vehicular traffic, the increase in traffic accidents due to the steep roadway grade, sight distances and potential issues from the increase in traffic volumes. It is important to note the revised design incorporates a pathway connection to the adjacent development for community continuity and for school age children to safely walk to and from nearby Twin Lakes Elementary.

Page 3 — Groundwater: While groundwater was not encountered during the subsurface exploration, at least one test hole should reach the water table in the vicinity of the infiltration facility. If the water table is very deep, the test hole need not extend more than one-fourth the maximum width of the pond below the bottom of the pond. This would mean that a test hole near the vicinity of the pond needs to reach groundwater, or be drilled to an elevation of 115' (68'/4 is 17' below elevation 132.) Provide another test hole, along with data, meeting this requirement. (KCSWDM 5.4.1) To address the general requirements for infiltration facilities as described in the King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), two borings were drilled within the proposed infiltration pond location at the approximate locations shown on the "Boring Location Plan," Plate 1. Each boring was drilled to a depth of 31.5 feet below existing grade. Boring B-1 was drilled to an approximate elevation of 116.5 feet and B-2 was drilled to an approximate elevation of 109.5 feet. At each boring location, loose to medium dense silty sand (Unified Soil Classification SM) was encountered to a depth of 7.5 to 10 feet below grade. The silty sand was underlain by outwash deposits comprised of poorly graded sand with silt (SP-SM) and poorly graded sand (SP) to the maximum exploration depth at each boring location. Groundwater was not encountered during the exploration. 2. Test Pit TP-1 was drilled to an elevation of 17 feet below grade, or elevation 128. This is one foot short of meeting the minimum 5 feet below the bottom elevation of the infiltration surface. Provide another test hole, along with data, meeting this requirement. (KCSWDM 5.4.1) As described above, two borings were drilled within the proposed infiltration pond location. Boring B-2 was extended approximately 22.5 feet below the proposed infiltration elevation of 132 feet. 3. Page 12 — Textural Analyses: Increased moisture was encountered at a depth of 16 feet at TP- 1, which may be indicative of localized seasonal perched groundwater or a seasonal high groundwater table. However, the recommended infiltration pond surface elevation was at 13 feet at TP-1. Based on similar results with TP-2 at the same elevations, it would appear that the soils within three feet of the proposed infiltration surface elevation may not be conductive to proper infiltration. Show how soils within TP-1, TP-2, and TP-3 meet the soil property requirements listed on page 5-58 of the KCSWDM. Verify that the particle size distribution for the three test holes meet the minimum and maximum requirements. Based on additional subsurface exploration, the seasonal high groundwater table is greater than a depth of approximately 22.5 feet below the proposed infiltration elevation of 132 feet. The increased moisture encountered at a depth of 16 feet at Test Pit TP-1 does not appear to be perched on an impermeable layer extending laterally beneath the proposed infiltration area. The increased moisture may be indicative of seasonal perched groundwater collecting above a less permeable lens within the outwash deposits, similar to the beds of poorly graded sand with silt observed at TP-3. However, less permeable lenses were not observed at excavations within the proposed pond location during initial or subsequent EARTH CONSULTING INCORPORATED Page 2 SOUNDVIEW MANOR February 20, 2008 E-12164-1 explorations. The increased soil moisture was observed at an approximate elevation of 129 feet, approximately 3 feet below the proposed infiltration elevation. Based on textural analyses, soils collected at Test Pit TP-1 within the proposed infiltration area and at TP-2 approximately 50 feet east of the proposed infiltration area are comprised of coarse sand both above and below the proposed infiltration elevation. Based on observed soil conditions at the boring locations, the coarse sand extends up to 22.5 feet below the proposed infiltration elevation. 4. The design infiltration surface is shown at 132 feet. The elevation of SW Dash Point Road directly north of the proposed infiltration pond is also at elevation 132. The embankment ditch elevation on the south side of SW Dash Point Rd. is near elevation 129 (based on the road culvert). The embankment on the north side of the road drops significantly to elevation 126, only 130 feet horizontally away from the pond surface. Given the fact that the soils in the area have a high to severe slippage potential, and based on the elevations noted above, please discuss in depth what effects, if any, the lateral migrating phreatic water surface, or the increased ground water recharge will have on the structural stability of SW Dash Point Rd. adjacent to the project site. To assess the effects the proposed infiltration pond may have on the stability of Southwest Dash Point Road, we reviewed soils and geologic maps of the area and conducted a slope stability analyses. Soils and Geologic Map Review As stated in the referenced geotechnical engineering study, review of the 1973 USDA Soil Conservation Service (SCS) maps for King County indicates the soils underlying most of the property consist of Indianola loamy fine sand, 4 to 15 percent slopes (Map Unit InC). Indianola soils formed in sandy recessional glacial drift, and when fou_nd_on 4_to-15-per-eent slopes-ar& characterized_ by rapid permeability,__slow to medium runoff, and a slight to moderate ero ion hazard. an 15 to 3 percent slopes, Indianola soils are characterized by medium runoff and a moderate to severe erosion hazard. The soils encountered in the vicinity of the proposed Y in tra Ian cility are consistent with Indianola soils. The northeastern corner of the property is mapped as Alderwood and Kitsap soils, very steep (Map Unit AkF). Alderwood soils formed in glacial till and Kitsap soils formed in glacial lake deposits. When found on steep slopes, Alderwood and Kitsap soils are characterized by rapid to very rapid runoff, a_severe slippage potential, and a sevQre_-to very_ severe erosi mbinoR-hazard— This is ue to a coation of slope gradient and the impermeable nature of these soils at a shallow depth. Review of the Draft Geologic Map of the Tacoma North 7.5-Minute Quadrangle, Washington (Troost, Booth, in review) indicates the site is underlain by glacial till (Map Unit Qvt) comprised of a compact mixture of sand, silt, and gravel, deposited by the Vashon glacier. Areas to the south of the site are mapped as recessional outwash (Map Unit Qvr) comprised of stratified sand and gravel deposited by mei#Water sta'eams _ issuing from the receding Vashon glacier. Areas to the north of the site are mapped as advance ❑utwash (Map Unit Qva) comprised of bedded sand and gravel deposited by meltwater streams issuing from and subsequently overrun by the advancing Vashon glacier. Based on observed conditions in the EARTH CONSULTING INCORPORATED Page 3 SOUNDVIEW MANOR February 20, 2008 E-12164-1 vicinity of the proposed pond, the uppe locations are likely either recessional deposits. The underlying dense to very deposits. Slope Stability Analyses r loose to medium dense sands at the exploratory outwash deposits or reworked advance outwash dense sands are consistent with advance outwash To assess the stability of the slope to the north of Southwest Dash Point Road, a quantitative slope stability analysis was conducted to numerically model the stability of the slope. We used the GEO-SLOPE computer program to model the potential for deep-seated and shallow rotational -type failures. Our analyses provided us with factors -of -safety against failure. The factor -of -safety is the ratio of driving forces to resisting forces. A factor -of -safety of 1.0 is equilibrium, a factor -of -safety of less than 1.0 indicates failure, and a factor -of -safety of 1.5 or greater is generally considered the acceptable minimum for static conditions. "Cross Section A -A'," Plate 2, was developed from proposed topographic data provided on a topographic survey by C.E.S. NW, Inc. Cross Section A -A' extends from the slope area north of Southwest Dash Point Road through the proposed pond to the proposed future alignment of Southwest 314th Street. A slope stability analysis was then conducted along the topographic profile. Please refer to Plate 1 for the location of Cross Section A -A'. The topographic profile used in our stability analyses along Cross Section A -A' is included as Plate 2. Soils strength parameters were assigned based on soil conditions observed in our subsurface exploration, on our experience with similar soil conditions, and on published data. The following values were used in our analyses: Soil Parameters for Stability Analysis Soil Type Density Cohesion 1.1.1. Friction 4Ps� - �� r� Medium dense fill 130 0 34 Loose to medium dense sand 110 0 28 Dense to very dense sand 115 0 32 pcf = pounds per cubic foot, psf = pounds per square foot In our analyses, we modeled the potential for shallow and deep-seated rotational -type failures within the north -facing slope to the north of Southwest Dash Point Road. For the purpose of our analyses, we modeled a shallow groundwater table in the native surficial soils to represent seepage from the proposed pond. In our opinion, however, this condition is unrealistic, as neither impermeable layers nor a groundwater table were encountered during the exploration. In our opinion, lateral movement of infiltrated water at the pond should be minimal. - EARTH CONSULTING INCORPORATED Page 4 SOUNDVIEW MANOR February 20, 2008 E-12164-1 Based on the results of our slope stability analyses, the factor -of -safety for saturated conditions within the slope is 1.8 for a shallow rotational -type failure under static conditions. Shallow surficial failures are still possible, however, if seepage were to saturate the loose surficial soils mantling the slope. Due to the bedded nature of the advance outwash deposits, lateral movement of infiltrated stormwater is possible along less permeable bedding planes. However, in our opinion, it is not likely that lateral.moyement of infiltrated stormwater will reach the slope to the north of Southwest Dash Point Road. We trust this information meets your current needs. If you have any questions, please call. Respectfully submitted, EARTH CONSULTING INCORPORATED Eric L. Woods, LG Project Manager Kristina M.

Clearing and Grading — site: Preliminary grading plans depict clearing the center of the site for infrastructure installation, including drainage facilities and easements from individual building lots; a public street; a private pedestrian corridor to the east; and utilities corridors, leaving undisturbed the edges of the site as a vegetative buffer. In conjunction with the cut and fill, the applicant proposes to grade the building pads in a stepped fashion, which will require retaining walls, rockeries, or other slope transitions between building lots. The resulting buildable area of each lot must remain suitable for residential yard purposes and the resulting homes shall meet height requirements of FWRC 19.05.080, "Height,"' and not require oversized basements or be built on stilts. Page 9, First Paragraph: Based on a geotechnical study and preliminary infiltration testing done by Earth Consultants, Inc. in 2006, the applicant is proposing an infiltration pond that will meet Conservation Flow Control requirements. The pond will be over -sized to compensate for runoff from the project's Dash Point Road improvements, which cannot be detained onsite due to slope constraints. Prior to infiltration, the applicant proposes to install a StomfikeEP teatReftt DDF, and Citt- annroved stormwater filtration system to provide water quality treatment for the site. A separate &srmfilte?' DDE- and City -approved stormwater filtration system is proposed for Dash Point Road frontage improvements. In addition, storm drainage from the yards of lots 14- 21 will sheet flow into the proposed wetland buffer, helping to maintain the wetland hydrology of the existing drainage corridor. Page 11, Statement of Facts and ConcIusions Numbers 7 and 9: 7. To provide adequate recreational opportunities commensurate with new residential development, FWRC Title 18, "Subdivisions," requires dedication of a minimum of 15% of gross land area for -on site for open space, or a fee -in -lieu payment: Pursuant to FWRC 18.55.060, the applicant has proposed a combination of 439-5 129,678 square feet of conservation open space in Tracts B, E, and G; buffer open space in Tracts C and D; and usable open space in Tracts F and H. As currently proposed, the preliminary plat map includes approximately 13.52% usable open space, greater- i-2-1/6 1.49% buffer open space, and approximately 18.01% in conservation open space in order to meet the code requirement. 9. The preliminary grading plan identifies retaining walls on and between several of the proposed lots. Retaining walls are also proposed on the south side of the stormwater facility in Tract A. The retaining walls within Tract A should be designed and constructed in a manner to minimize potential aesthetic impact along SW Dash Point Road. In order to minimize the maintenance for the stormwater treatment facility, the retaining walls proposed on the south side of Tract A shall be located in outside of the fence surrounding the stormwater facili and shall be privately owned and maintained.

The city issued.a Mitigated Environmental Determination of Nonsignifrcance (MDNS, Exhibit 5) for the proposed action on August 3; 2012. This determination was based on review of information on file, including the environmental checklist (Exhibit 6) and staff evaluation of the environmental checklist for. the Soundview Manor proposal (Exhibit 6); resulting in the conclusion that.the._preposal would not result in probable significant adverse'impact on the environment provided the applicant complies with the mitigation measures in this MDNS_ SFR = single-family residential Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 2 Soundview Manor Preliminary Plat File Number_ 07-103109-00-UP/ Doc_ 1D_ 62759 B. The city received comment letters on the proposal from four citizens which were responded to by city staff (Exhibit 7)_ C_ No appeals of the environmental determination were submitted to the city- W. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT A_ Soils — The applicant provided a Geotechnical Engi Bering, Investigation, May 18, 2006 (Exhibit 8), by Earth Consultants, Inc. and a Geotechnical Engineering Review letter, November 4, 2011 (Exhibit 8), by Associated Earth Sciences, Inc- Earth Consultants, Inc. is no longer in business and Associated Earth Sciences, Inc- reviewed the Geotechnical Engineering Review and prepared a November 4, 2011, response. In general, they agree with the recommendations provided in the original geotechnical report - The 1971 King County soils survey map lists the soils type as at least 85 percent Indianola loamy fine sand (InD). The balance of the site is made up of smaller portions of Ragnar/ Indianola (RdE) soils; Alderwood and Kitsap (AkF) soils; and Alderwood gravelly Sandy loam (AgQ soils. Indianola series is made up of somewhat excessively drained soils in sandy, recessional stratified glacial drift. Slopes are 0 to 30%. Raguar/Indianola association (RdE) is characterized as a moderately steep series, with slopes 15 to 25%, and convex to concave. B. Topography — the site is generally comprised of a northwest facing slope, which descends approximately 95 feet from the southern to the northern property line over a horizontal distance of approximately 600 feet- The slope surface has been cut by several northwest -trending drainages. The city's critical areas maps depict the northern portion of the subject site as having steep slopes and soils that are considered erosion hazards. The geotechnical report confirms this characterization- C. Vegetation — The site is moderately to heavily vegetated with medium to large diameter evergreen and deciduous trees, with an undergrowth of ferns and mixed brush, except for the overgrown dirt road in the center of the site. The applicant proposes to clear and grade -the middle cif -the site and reshape the land to accommodate roadways, utilities, and building lots_ No vegetation will be retained in this area_ The east and west portions of the site -will remain undisturbed. The west portion of the site is comprised of a designated wetland buffer (Tract B) and open space buffer (Tract E). These two tracts shall remain in their natural vegetated state and total 60,289 square feet in size- The east portion of.the site is comprised of two open space tracts (Tracts F and G) totaling 59,598 square feet. Tracts F and G shall also remain in their natural vegetated state_ Tract F will be improved with a wood chip trail and benches to provide for usable on site open space - This subdivision application is vested to code provisions that regulate "significant" trees,2 and which requires that 25% of the number of significant trees be retained or replaced with project development. The significant tree retention plan submitted with the application (Exhibit 9) depicts 231 trees on the subject property that meet the definition of a significant tree. Of the 231 significant trees, 38 are located within future right -of --way and utility easements and are 2 A significant tree is defined in the Federal Way. City Code (FWCQ as a tree that is in good health, not detrimental to the community, and at least 12 inches in diameter 4.5 feet above the ground, not including red alder, cottonwood, poplar, or big -leaf maple - Staff Report to the hearing Examiner Page 3 Soundview Manor Preliminary Plat File Number 07-103109-00-UP/ Doc_ W. 62759 exempt from retention requirements. This leaves 193 non-exempt trees, of arhich a minimn_m 25% or 49 trees must be retained or are otherwise subject to replacement- Following development .of the center portion of the project site, 57 trees (29.50%) are identified on the significant tree retention plan to remain undisturbed in the open space tracts. This number of trees exceeds retention standards and tree replacement will only be required if fewer than 25% of the significant trees are maintained. This will be reviewed during engineerm", plan review - Site landscaping will be installed in the form of Type IH landscaping in perimeter landscape Tracts C and.D; enhancement of open space Tract F with wood chip path and benches connecting an existing trail to the pedestrian path located in Tract H; visual screening of the storm drainage facility in Tract A; and street trees as required by the public works street standards. Landscape plans shall be submitted for review and approval by the Directors of Community and Economic Development and Public Works during engineering plan review. The proposed usable open space tracts will provide approximately 36.52% of the site in open space areas_ These open space tracts will be owned and maintained by the future homeowners of the plat and will be further protected from development or vegetation removal. D. Wetlands — The applicant provided a Wetland and Drainage Corridor report prepared by Habitat Technologies, March 7, 2006.(Exhibit 10). The report identified a stream located west of the subject property and characterized as an off -site drainage corridor. This stream meets the city's definition of a minor stream with a 50-foot buffer and drains to the north through private properties and into Dumas Bay_ There is a Type 2 :downstream severe erosion issue. associated with this stream, with scouring and bank washout observed by the city. The stream is associated with a wetland (Wetland A) that is Iocated on the parcel immediately west of the subject property. This wetland is less than one half acre in size based on the city's 1999 wetland inventory, and meets the classification as a Category R wetland with 100-foot buffers. Wetland buffer intrusions are subject to the provisions of the FWRC; however, no buffer intrusions are proposed with this project. The applicant has designated Tract B as a wetland buffer tract, and in addition an adjacent designated open space tract (Tract E) of 40,025 square feet to remain in a natural state. The applicant has indicated that in order to maintain wetland hydrology to the existing wetland and drainage corridor (stream), storm drainage runoff from the back and side yards of lots 14 - 21, and. a portion of -the roof area, will be allowed to sheet flow into the proposed wetland buffer before being collected in the existing wetland. Open space Tract E will be left as native, and stormwater from this tract will continue to flow to the buffer and wetland as it does under existing conditions. No changes to.the wetland hydrology period will be permitted under the code. V. NEIGHBORHOOD'CHARACTERISTICS A. Vicinity —The property is situated generally in the west -central portion of the city The site is located along, SW Dash Point Road, at approximately the 4400 block The subject site abuts the Twin Lakes subdivision to the east. The site also abuts Federal Way School District pro_Derty (Twin Lakes Elementary) to the south. B_ Public Parks The site is in close proximity to Dumas Bay Park to the east and Dash Point state park to the west. Both are accessed from SW Dash Point Road, which fronts the subject property.

Lot Size — The proposed Soundview Manor lots range in size from 9,603 square feet to 15,327 square feet for single-family use_ All proposed lots meet the minimum 9,600 square -foot lot size for single-family residential use required in the RS 9.6 zoning district (FWRC 19-200-010)_ B. Lot Layout — Most of the proposed lots are of rectangular shape. Preliminary building setback lines (BSBL) are depicted on the preliminary plat map and each lot contains an adequate building area_ C_ Open Space — To provide adequate recreational and landscaped open space amenities commensurate with new residential development, FWRC Title 18, "Subdivisions," requires dedication of a minimum of 15% of gross land area for on -site open space, or a fee -in -lieu payment_ The subject property is 9.01 acres, or 392,630 square feet in size_ Fifteen percent of the gross land area is 58,895 square feet_ As proposed on the preliminary plat map (Exhibit 1, Sheet PP I), the following open space is provided: Open Space 1 Percent of Gross Land Project Specific I Proposed Tract(s) and Square Category Area per FWRC Square Feet R uired Footage (SF) Usable 10% minimum 39,263 SF minimum Tracts F and H — 53,114 SF (13.52%) Conservation No maximum or _ No maximum or Tracts B (wetland buffer), E minimum minimum and G (large stands of trees) — 70,710 SF (18.01 %) Buffer 2% maximum _ 7,853 SF maximum Tracts C and D — 19,571 SF (4.98%) As currently shown on the preliminary plat site plan, the applicant greatly exceeds the minimum on -site open space requirements of the FWRC. Total open space provided as shown in the preliminary plat site plan is approximately 143,395 square feet, or 3652 %. Of this total, 131,677 square feet (33-53% of gross land area) is creditable toward required on -site open space. Creditable open space is calculated as follows: 13.52% usable + 18.01% conservation + -- -- 2%(maxi twi allowa6lc) buffer = 3333%. - -- - D_ Subdivision Access and Roadway System — Access to the site will be via SW Dash Point Road adjacent to the north side of the site, from a new access road, "Soundview. Drive," located at the approximate mid -point along the SW Dash Point Road frontage_ Section VII of this report provides a detailed description of the proposed roadway system and improvements_ Pedestrian System — Sidewalks will be provided along all street frontages. Specifically, interior full street improvements include five-foot wide sidewalks on both sides of all streets, and eight - foot sidewalks on the project frontage along SW Dash Point Road. In accordance with FWRC I 8.55.010(4), which requires block perimeters no longer than 1,320 feet for non -motorized trips and 2,640 feet for streets, an cast/west street connection would be required across the subject property. The city granted a right -of --way modification to eliminate a vehicular connection to SW 314m Street. As a SEPA condition, the subdivision is required to include one, 12-foot wide pedestrian and bicycle access tract incorporating an 8-foot wide paved pedestrian path that connects the proposed internal road to the sidewalk on the southern side of SW 314`h Street, located within the Twin Lakes Subdivision. Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 5 Soundview Manor Preliminary Plat File Number_ 07-I03109-00-UP/ Doc. ID. 62759 F. Landscape Buffers — In accordance with FWRC 18.60.030, a minimum tent -foot wide Type Ill landscape strip shall be provided along all arterial streets to shield new residences from arterial streets. SW Dash Point Road is an arterial street; therefore, landscape buffering along this street is required. The, preliminary plat map provides landscape buffers in Tracts C and D, 10-feet in width, abutting S TAV Dash Point i oad. G. Clearing and Grading - -&ito. Preliminary grading plans depict clearing the center of the site for infrastructure installation, including drainage facilities and easements from individual building lots; a public street; a private pedestrian corridor to the east; and utilities corridors, leaving undisturbed the edges of the site as a vegetative buffer. In conjunction with the cut and fill, the applicant proposes to grade the building pads in a stepped fashion, which will require retaining walls, rockeries, or other slope transitions between building lots. The resulting buildable area of each lot crust main suitable for residential yard purposes and the resulting homes shall meet height requirements of FWRC 19.05.080, "Height,"' and not require oversized basements or be built on stilts. Erosion could occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use at this project site; staff concurs with this statement. The applicant will be required to -submit a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control (TESL) Plan -that is consistent with provisions of the 2009 King County Surface ,Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the FWRC in order to pre vent'and/or minimise erosionimpacts during the construction phase of the project. However, due to steep slopes, erosive soils; proximity to the stream and wetland; proposed onsite infiltration; and a documented downstream erosion problem, erosion control measures outlined in the 2009 KCSWDM will be enforced: to the. -fullest extent possible and additional wet season restrictions will apply as outlined in the SEPA report. VII. TRANSPORTATION A. Street Improvements — Per FWRC 19.135.040, the applicant is required to provide improvements to SW Dash.Point Road in accordance with the adopted street section type "M" from the Federal Way CompsP(FWwohestnehe applicant will provide an extension of the asphalt roadway with vertical curb and gutter, six- foot planter strips with street trees, eight -foot sidewalk, and streetlights. An 11-foot right-of- waydedication will be necessary to meet the adopted street section standard_ Such dedication is authorized by FWRC 19.135.040 and shall be completed prior to Certificate of Occupancy. Within the plat, the proposed new road, "Soundview Drive," shall be improved to Local Street Section, corresponding to a city standard roadway Section "W." The required street improvements include 28 feet of pavement with vertical curb and gutter, four -foot planter strips with street trees, five-foot sidewalks, and three-foot utility strips with streetlights, within a 52- foot wide dedicated right-of-way. } "Average building elevation (ABE) " means the average of the highest and -lowest existing or proposed.eleva6ons, whichever is lowest, taken at the base of the exterior wails of the structure, omit means five feet above the lowest of the existing or proposed elevations; whichever is lowest ABE is the elevation from which building height is measured_ "Height of structure" means the vertical distance rncasured from the average building elevation around the building segment to the highest point of fiat roof or to the deck line of a mansard roof, or to tite mid -point between eave and ridge of the highest principal roof of gable; hip gambrel, or similar sloped roof For singlo-family residential structures where the total area of dormers exceeds 35 percent of the total area of the underlying sloped roof, height will be treasured to the ridge of the highest principal gable. Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 6 Soundview Manor Preliminary. Plat Fite Number- 07-103109-WUP/ Doc. l®_ 62759 c� G tncariv� All streets shall be designed and constructed by the applicant per FWRC requirements. In accordance with FWRC standards, all street improvements must be dedicated as city right-of- way and improved to full street standards, unless otherwise noted. Street lighting is required on all streets, pursuant to FWRC 18.60.100. B_ To facilitate meeting the perimeter block standards of FWRC Chapter 18.55.070, and meet the code standard regarding provision of access for established trails, a paved pedestrian connection from the new roadway "Soundview Drive" to SW 310 Street will be provided by the applicant.

C_ Access - Access to the site will be via SW Dash Point Road adjacent to the south side of the site from a new access point on SW Dash Point Road. This access meets the state highway access management of 250 feet spacing requirement and. FWRC 19.135.280. The applicant's traffic engineer performed Sight Distance Analysis and Turn Lane Warrant Analysis at the proposed access point to ensure safe and efficient traffic operation (TIA prepared by Heath & Associates, November 4, 2011). D_ Concurrency - As a component of the preliminary plat approval application, the applicant was required to undergo traffic concurrency analysis pursuant to the state Growth Management Act, goals and policies of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan; and FWRC Chapter 19.90 Transportation Concurrency Management_ The city's Traffic Division reviewed the concurrency application and determined all intersections impacted by one or more weekday evening peak hour trips would meet the city's Level of Service standards with progn`u=ed improvements. A Capacity Reserve Certificate was issued by the City Traffic Engineer November 17, 2011, and vested 26 PM hour trips to this project. E. Traffic Impact Fee - The applicant will be subject to the city's transportation impact fee -(FWRC Chapter 19.91)_ The fee will be calculated based on the feee rate in effect at the time of plat recording_ The fee shall be paid at plat recording. The impact fee may be deferred, but shall -be paid no later than the closing of sale of each individual house -Covenants prepared by the city to enforce payment of the deferred fees shall be recorded at the -applicant's expense on each lot at the time of plat recording for residential land divisions and prior to building permit issuance for un platted single-family residential lots. The fee shall be calculated based on the impact fee schedule in effect on the date of payment of the impact fee. VM. PUBLIC SERVICES A. Schools - The applicant prepared a school access narrative that was reviewed by the Federal Way School District_ The site is located in the service areas for Twin Lakes Elementary, Lakota Middle School, and Decatur High School. Twin Lakes Elementary students will use the pedestrian corridor to SW 314`' Street and walk along internal roadways in the Twin Lake subdivision to the elementary school, as outlined in the school access analysis, which meets the miruirlum requirements for a safe walking path to the school - Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 7 Soundview Manor Preliminary Plat File Numben 07-103109-WUPI Doc_ ID_ 62759 Lakota Middle School and Decatur F-Ii h School students would be transported via school bus. The bus stop location is on Dash Point Road, and the school district is concerned that this road crossing location is not always safe. It is noted that bus stops are subject to change as student needs increase and roads are developed. Sidewalks will be extended along Dash Point Road along the project frontage. The school district is requiring that lighting highlight this sidewalk area for students walking to the intersection of44'h Avenue SW where they will be required to cross the road to meet the bus. Since there is no sidewalk on the north side of Dash Point Road, students will be instructed to wait on the south side on the new well -lit sidewalk section and then cross Dash Point Road when the bus has stopped. The collection of school impact fees will mitigate impacts to school service delivery. The school mitigation fee is collected at building permit issuance for a residence_ The Federal Way City Council adjusts the impact fee annually, and the applicable fee would be determined at the time a complete individual single-family building permit is submitted to the city- B. Public Parks — The Soundview Manor site is in close proximity to Dash Point State Park to the west and Dumas Bay Park to the east, which are both accessed from SW Dash Point Road. These public parks provide recreational opportunities for residents in the area- C. Fire Protection The Fire Department requires that a fire hydrant be located within 350 feet of each lot_ The exact number and location of fire hydrants will be reviewed and approved by the Fire Department IX. UTILrrIES A. Sewage Disposal —The applicant proposes to serve time proposed plat by a public sewer system managed by Lakehaven Utility District. The March 1, 2007, Certificate.ofSewerAvailability (Exhibit, 12) indicates the district's capacity to serve the proposed development through a Developer Extension Agreement (DEA) between time applicant and the district. B. Water Supply — The applicant proposes to serve the subdivision with- a public water supply and distribution system managed by the Tacoma Water. A 3anaury 26, 2007, Certificate of Water Availability (Exhibit I3) indicates Tacoma Water's capacity to serve the proposed development- C. Drainage Facilities — Development of the site will create additional runoff from new impervious surfaces such as streets, driveways, and rooftops. Storm drainage facilities are being designed in accordance with _the 2009 KCSWDM and the city's addendum to the manual. The applicant's January. 7, 2013, preliminary stormwatcr Technical Information Report (M) (Exhibit 8) by C_E:S_, NW, Inc. was reviewed by the city's Public Works Department for time purposes of preliminary plat review. Consc via►ion Flow Control and Enhanced Basic Water Quality treatment are required for the project, per the 2009 KCSWDM and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the manual. The site lies within the Lower Puget Sound Drainage Basin. It slopes downward in a northwesterly direction toward a minor stream and Category 2 wetland that evenuallu trcx arrge into Puget Sound A downstream erosion problem within the minor stream has been identified, however, the -project will provide detention to Conservation Flow Control Standards (aka level 2), which is designed to prevent development -induced increases in natural erosion rates. Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 8. Sowidview. Manor Preliminary Piat Me Number 07403109-00-UP/ Doc_ ID_ 62759 Based, on a geotechnical study and preliminary infiltration testing done by Earth Consultants, Inc. in 2006, the applicant is proposing an infiltration pond that will meet Conservation Flow Control requirements. The pond will be over -sized to compensate for runoff from the project's Dash Point Road improvements, which cannot be detained onsite due to slope constraints. Prior to infiltration, the applicant proposes to install a Stormfiltero treatment system to provide water quality treatment for the site. A separate Stormfllter�o system is proposed for Bash Point Road frontage improvements. In addition, storm drainage from the yards of lots 14-21 will sheet flow into the proposed wetland buffer, helping to maintain the wetland hydrology of the existing drainage corridor. The preliminary design proposes to collect and convey stormwater through a series of pipes and catch basins into the water quality treatment facilities located near the plat entrance road at Dash Point Road. In order to mitigate potential erosion impacts to downstream drainage systems and to the proposed infiltration pond, the applicant shall provide on -site Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control measures per the requirements of the 2009 KCSWDM and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the manual. The city will fit ther limit clearing and grading activities for overall site work and for individual lots during the wet season (October 1 to April 30) per the SEPA mitigation measures.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST Analysis of Environmental Checklist Following are staff responses to the elements of the environmental checklist (Exhibit C) indicating whether or not city staff concurs with the applicant's response to the checklist item, or staff clarification or amendment of the response. A. BACKGROUND 1-5. Concur with the checklist. 6. A two -week comment period commences following issuance of an environmental determination, followed by a two -week appeal period. At the conclusion of the environmental review process, the city forwards the preliminary plat application to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner for review. Following a public hearing, the examiner issues a recommendation on the preliminary plat application, which is forwarded to the Federal Way City Council for review and preliminary plat approval. After preliminary plat approval, civil engineering plans are reviewed by the city and construction of the plat road and utilities begins following verification that all related conditions have been met. The Federal Way City Council must approve the constructed final plat before it is recorded at King County. 7-9. Concur with the checklist. Soundview Manor SEPA Staff Report File #07-103111-00-SE / Doc. I.D. 59828 March 10, 2012 Page 2 of 12 10. In addition to the listed steps in the checklist, the City Council will review the Hearing Examiner's recommendation and will make the final decision on the preliminary plat application. The applicant is responsible to identify and obtain all applicable outside agency permits as may be required for the project. 11-12. Concur with the checklist. The initial application for a 29 lot subdivision was submitted on June 7, 2007, and the application was determined to be complete on April 29, 2008.' The city issued a notice of application on May 3, 2008, which resulted in numerous comments from adjacent residents who expressed concern about the proposed roadway alignment.2 The proposed configuration did not address subdivision code standards, and the applicant worked with the city to re -work the project grading, design, and layout. As provided under Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 18.05.080, the applicant requested and was granted extensions to the 180-day deadline for resubmitting requested information as follows: 1) a 90-day extension request was conditionally approved on August 12, 2010, under file #10A02950-AD; and 2) a 180-day extension was conditionally approved on May 4, 2011, under file 11-101469-AD. The city's conditions required that subsequent resubmittals were to meet current provisions of the 2009 King County Surface Water Design -Manual (KCSWDM), that a new concurrency application was to be submitted, and the project was to be subject to a Transportation Impact Fee (TIF). Revised plans submitted on November 4, 2011, reflected these conditions, in addition to reducing the number of lots to 21 and reducing the developed portions of the property leaving' over 30% of the site undeveloped. A new concurrency analysis for the Traffic Impact Fee (TIF)-was also' submitted. Staff routed the November 2011, redesigned project to relevant agencies for review. Comments from Public Works Engineering Division are reflected in section B1 and B3, while comments from the Federal Way School District are reflected in Section B15. B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS Earth a-b. Concur with the checklist. The May 18, 2006, Geotechnical Engineering Study prepared by Earth Consultants, Inc.3 states that the site is generally comprised of a northwest facing slope, which descends approximately 95 feet from the southern to the northern property line over a horizontal distance of approximately 600 feet. The slope surface has been cut by several northwest -trending drainages. The site is moderately to heavily vegetated with medium to large diameter evergreen and deciduous trees with an undergrowth of ferns and mixed brush, except for the overgrown dirt road in the center of the site. The applicant proposes to clear and grade the middle of the site and reshape the land. No vegetation will be retained in this area. The east and west portions of the site will remain undisturbed. Earth Consultants, Inc. is no longer in business and Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. reviewed the Geotechnical Engineering Review and prepared a November 4, 2011, response. In general, they agree with the recommendations provided in the original geotechnical report. C. Concur with the checklist. At least 85 percent of the soil classification for the subject site is InD (Indianola. loamy fine sand) according to the 1971 King County Soils Survey Map. The balance of the site is made up of smaller portions of Ragnar/ ' The application was not determined to be complete until requested grading information was provided. 2 Over 50 comment letters were received in addition to a petition with 529 signatures. 3 This firm is no longer in business and the November 4, 2011, Geotechnical Engineering Review prepared by Associated Earth Sciences Inc. was asked to review and comment on the applicability of the original study in regards to city review comments. Soundview Manor SEPA Staff Report File #07-103111-00-SE / Doc. I.D. 59828 March 10, 2012 Page 3 of 12 Indianola (RdE) soils; Alderwood and Kitsap (AkF) soils; and Alderwood gravelly Sandy loam (AgC) soils. Indianola series is made up of somewhat excessively drained soils in sandy, recessional stratified glacial drift. Slopes are 0 to 30 percent. Ragnar/Indianola association (RdE) is characterized as a moderately steep series, with slopes 15 to 25 percent and convex to concave. The soils from the test pits were classified in accordance with the Unified Soils Classification system. d. Concur with the checklist. The city's Surface Water Management division reports that the off -site stream course is highly incised and carved out; west of Dash Point Road it transitions rapidly into a steep coastal canyon. There are multiple locations where erosion and/or slides have recently occurred and it is an unstable system that continues to erode. Appropriate measures should be taken upstream to avoid impacts that would increase high flow durations or volumes in this stream course. e. In addition to the downstream erosion problem north of Dash Point Road, the city's critical areas map depicts the northern portion of the subject site as having steep slopes and soils that are considered erosion hazards. The geotechnical report confirms this characterization. According to the report, test pit locations were excavated to a maximum depth of 18.5 feet, and while groundwater was not encountered during subsurface exploration,. iron oxide staining and areas of increased moisture were encountered in all test locations at varying depths; the staining and moisture appear to be indicative of seasonal perched:,groundwater collecting above less -permeable beds and lenses within outwash deposits. Based on the depth of anticipated cuts and observed site conditions, groundwater seepage may be encountered in site excavations. The grading plan proposes excavations ranging up to 18 feet, which is within the tested ranges. The geotechnical report and the addendum contain recommendations for design and. stability standards; including recommendations for infiltrating stormwater in the coarse sand and find sand encountered below the proposed stormwater facility area. However, increased soil moisture may be indicative of localized seasonal perched ground water, which may affect the infiltration capability of the soils in the proposed infiltration area. The geotechnical report recommends, and the 2009 KCSWDM requires, that a minimum of three feet of separation be maintained between the bottom of the infiltration pond and the seasonal high groundwater table. Therefore, appropriate mitigation measures shall need to be incorporated at engineering stage. Under FWRC 19.160.010, "Geologically Hazardous Areas," the director may permit development activities, land surface modifications, or installation and maintenance of landscaping normally associated with residential uses on or within 25 feet of a geologically hazardous area if no reasonable alternative exists, and only if the development activity will not lead to or create any increased slide, seismic, or erosion hazard. The recommendations provided by the applicant have been preliminary in nature and place the bulk of the analysis at engineering review. Despite the recommendations, the checklist reflects the potential for erosion to occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use at this project site. The deteriorated condition of the downstream system cannot sustain any impacts that may develop from this location. e. Concur with the checklist. The applicant anticipates that balanced cut and fill can be achieved on site. Preliminary grading plans depict clearing the center of the site for infrastructure installation, including drainage facilities and easements from individual building lots; a public street; a private pedestrian corridor to the east; and utilities corridors, leaving undisturbed the edges of the site as a vegetative buffer. In conjunction with the cut and fill, the applicant proposes to grade the building pads in Soundview Manor SEPA Staff Report File #07-103111-00-SE / Doc. I.D. 59828 March 10, 2012 Page 4 of 12 a stepped fashion, which will require retaining walls, rockeries, or other slope transitions between building lots. The resulting buildable area of each lot must remain suitable for residential yard purposes and the resulting homes shall meet height requirements of FWRC 19.05.080, "Height,"A and not require oversized basements or be built on stilts. f-h As noted above, the checklist states that erosion could occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use at this project site; staff concurs with this statement. The applicant will be required to submit a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control (TESC) Plan that is consistent with provisions of the 2009 KCSWDM and the FWRC in order to prevent and/or minimize erosion impacts during the construction phase of the project. However., due to steep slopes; erosive soils; proximity to the stream and wetland; proposed onsite infiltration; and a documented downstream erosion problem, erosion control measures outlined in the 2009 KCSWDM will be enforced to the fullest extent possible. Compliance with local, state, and federal standards and the below conditions will provide sufficient mitigation of potential erosion and slope failure impacts. Federal Way's comprehensive plan policies -adopted by Federal Way, and contained within the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP), serve as a basis for the exercise of substantive SEPA authority to approve; condition, or deny proposed actions applicable to potential adverse environmental impacts resulting from -this project. The following policies of the FWCP address protection of geologically hazardous areas and support the conditions for the development. NEP54 — Land uses on steep slopes should be designed to prevent property damage and environmental degradation, and to enhance open space and wildlife habitat. NEP55 — As slope increases, development intensity, site coverage, and vegetation removal should decrease and thereby minimize drainage problems, soil erosion, siltation, and landslides. Slopes of 40 percent or more should be retained in a natural state, free of structures and other land surface modifications. NEP56 — Landslide hazard areas should be free of development, unless the risks and adverse impacts associated with such development can be reduced to a negligible level. NEP17 — The City shall develop and update surface water quality protection programs as needed and shall carry out those programs and use best management practices (BMP) in order to make progress toward meeting state and federal requirements and this plan's water quality and related resource goals. City surface water quality programs will include (but are not necessarily limited to Stormwater quality controls on new development and redevelopment. NEP18 — The City shall maintain regulations and standards to carry out the Surface Water Management Comprehensive Plan's policy of restricting stormwater runoff from all new development and redevelopment in order to minimize the potential for flooding and stream bank erosion, and preserve and enhance habitat and sensitive ,+ "Average building elevation (ABE) " means the average of the highest and lowest existing or proposed elevations, whichever is lowest, taken at the base of the exterior walls of the structure, or it means five feet above the lowest of the existing or proposed elevations, whichever is lowest. ABE is the elevation from which building height is measured. "Height of structure" means the vertical distance measured from the average building elevation around the building segment to the highest point of a flat roof or to the deck line of a mansard roof, or to the mid -point between eave and ridge of the highest principal roof of a gable, hip, gambrel, or similar sloped roof. For single-family residential structures where the total area of dormers exceeds 35 percent of the total area of the underlying sloped roof, height will be measured to the ridge of the highest principal gable. Soundview Manor SEPA Staff Report File #07-103111-00-SE / Doc. I.D. 59828 March 10, 2012 Page 5 of 12 areas. Water quality BMP shall be required for new development and redevelopment. City policies, regulations, and standards will meet the comprehensive stormwater program requirements of the Puget Sound Plan, and will comply with NPDES permit requirements as applied. Based on the above policies, the following mitigation measures should be required to minimize identified potential adverse impacts to slope stability and surface water quality: SEPA CONDITIONS 1) Clearing, grading, and wall and utility line construction for the plat shall be limited to the months between April 30 and October 1(known as the "dry season"). After final plat approval, these seasonal restrictions shall also apply to construction on individual lots. The Public Works Director may revise this restriction based on weather patterns and individual site considerations. 2) Prior to engineering approval; the applicant shall retain the services of a certified ESC supervisor with experience in construction supervision/inspection and a background in geology, soils science, or agronomy who shall be responsible for erosion control throughout the project. 3) Prior to engineering approval, the applicant shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the city that the engineering .plans have fully incorporated Critical Areas Special Provisions from the 2009 KCSWDM (section 5.D.3). 4) Construction shall include turbidity testing that shall be performed pursuant to section D.4.2-3 of the 2009 KCSWDM. 2. Air a. Concur with the checklist. Short-term effects to air quality will occur during construction and paving operations. Construction 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 include the emissions of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen, potentially elevating the level of photochemical oxidants (such as ozone) in the ambient air. Long-term impacts, due to vehicle and maintenance equipment (such as lawn mowers and emissions from employees' and guests' vehicles) will vary in level according to the amount of traffic generated in the future by the proposal. b. Offsite sources of emissions will include local automobile traffic and wood smoke from neighboring homes. Compliance with local, state, and federal air quality standards will provide sufficient mitigation of potential on -site construction activities and long-term site usage. The implementation of an approved TESC plan that incorporates watering of the site, wheel washing, and approved construction entrances, should adequately mitigate potential adverse construction impacts. 3. Water a. Surface 1) The March 7, 2006, Wetland and Drainage Corridor report prepared by Habitat Technologies observed that the site, "...had undergone prior land use Soundview Manor SEPA Staff Report File #07-103111-00-SE / Doc. I.D. 59828 March 10, 2012 Page 6 of 12 manipulations, including forest harvest, clear and grading, internal road creation, external public road and utility developmentand the development of surrounding properties." At this time, the internal dirt road is overgrown with vegetation and the second growth vegetation is vigorous. The stream located west of the subject property, and characterized in the report as an off -site drainage corridor, meets the city's definition of a minor stream and drains to the north through private properties and into Dumas Bay. As discussed above, there is a type 2 downstream severe erosion problem located on this stream, with scouring and bank washout observed by the city. The stream is associated with a wetland that is located on the parcel west of the subject property. This wetland is less than one half acre in size based on the city's 1999 wetland inventory, and meets the classification as a Category 1I wetland. with 100 foot buffers. Wetland buffer intrusions are subject to the provisions of the FWRC; however, no buffer intrusions are proposed with this project. The applicant has indicated in order; to maintain wetland hydrology to, the existing wetland and drainage corridor (stream), storm drainage runoff from the back and side.yards of lots 14 -2.1, and a portion of the roofs, will be allowed to sheet flow into the proposed wetland buffer before. being collected in the existing wetland. Open space Tract E will be left as native, and stormwater from this tract will continue to. flow to the buffer and wetland as it does under existing conditions.'No changes to the wetland hydro period will be permitted under the FWRC. As noted in the Wetland Report and the Technical Information Report, hydrology that supports Wetland A appears to be influenced by a: combination of surface water runoff and shallow ground water. Further analysis of wetland hydrology will be completed in conjunction with subsequent engineering review. 2-6) Concur with the checklist. b. Ground 1-2) Concur with the checklist. C. Water Runoff 1) Concur with the checklist. The revised November 3, 201,1 Preliminary Storm Drainage Report prepared by CES NW notes that there are three basins that function with this site, yet all reach the same downstream system. The proposed storm drainage system will collect and convey runoff from a majority of the developed site to storm drainage facilities (storm filter system/retention pond proposed in the northern portion of the site. Prior to discharge, stormwater runoff will flow through a stormfilter water quality system in order to mitigate for the Basic Water Quality requirement. The project proposes to utilize a retention pond to address flow control with essentially no stormwater release, and the retention pond will provide a minimum Level 2 flow control as required under the 2009 KCSWDM as amended by the city. Overflow from the pond goes into emergency spillways that direct flows into Dash Point Road, and north into an existing ditch that conveys flows to the existing stream that flows north into a wetland associated with Dumas Bay and into Puget Sound. Runoff from the wetland flows into the stream which is culverted under Dash Point Road and flows into the Dumas Bay wetland and into Puget Sound. Runoff from Dash Point Road also flows under the street and into the stream. Soundview Manor SEPA Staff Report File #07-103111-00-SE / Doc. I.D. 59828 March 10, 2012 Page 7 of 12 The applicant has indicated that in order to maintain wetland hydrology to the existing wetland and drainage corridor (stream), storm drainage runoff from the back and side yards of lots 14 -21, and a portion of the roof area, will be allowed to sheet flow into the proposed wetland buffer before being collected in the existing wetland. Open space Tract E will be left as native, and storm water from this tract will continue to flow to the buffer and wetland as it does under existing conditions. No changes to the wetland hydro period will be permitted under the code. 2) As with all paved, developed areas, the site will contribute some pollutants to ground and surface waters, as these will be washed off the site by stormwater into the drainage systems. Pollutants that accumulate on paved surfaces may include heavy metals, petrochemicals, and other substances. d. Concur with the checklist. Prior to clearing and grading for any improvements and/or buildings on the site, those portions of the drainage facilities necessary to accommodate the control of surface and stormwater runoff discharging from the site must be constructed and in operation in accordance with all city requirements. Compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations, along with SEPA conditions outlined under B.1 above, will ensure that surface water impacts are appropriately mitigated. The final TIR'submitted.with engineering permits shall demonstrate that existing wetland hydrology is maintained, that there are no changes to the wetland hydro period, or to the wetland plant community. 4. Plants a. Concur with the checklist. In addition, observed vegetation is noted in the Wetland Report. b. The applicant proposes to clear and grade the center of the site, leaving vegetative buffers to east and west. This subdivision application is vested to code provisions that regulate "significant"-trees,5 and which requires that 25% of the number of significant trees be retained or replaced with project development. The tree boundary and topography survey submitted with the application depicts 206 trees on the subject property that meet the definition of a significant tree.6 Following development of the center portion of the project site, 53 trees will remain undisturbed in the open space tracts. This number of trees meets retention standards, and tree replacement will only be required if fewer than 25% of the significant trees are maintained. This will be reviewed during engineering review. C. Concur with the checklist. d. In accordance with FWRC, an approved landscape plan is required for this project. Based on the landscape plan and revised plat layout, 25% of the significant trees will be retained at the edges of this development. Street trees will be installed in the right- of-way behind the curbs. The applicant will also provide vegetative buffering around the storm drainage facilities and within the usable open space tracts as appropriate. The proposed open space tracts will provide the 15% of open space required for this subdivision, will be owned and maintained by the Soundview Manor Homeowners S A significant tree is defined in the FWRC as a tree that is in good health, not detrimental to the community, and at least 12 inches in diameter 4.5 feet above the ground, not including red alder, cottonwood, poplar, or big -leaf maple. 6 25% of 206 trees is 52 trees. Soundview Manor SEPA Staff Report File #07-103111-00-SE / Doc. I.D. 59828 March 10, 2012 Page 8 of 12 Association, and will be further protected from development or vegetation removal. Refer to section 12 below for additional information about open space. The city supports full clearing and grading of center of site with open space tracts left undisturbed. 5. Animals a. Concur with the checklist. The March 7, 2006, Wetland and Drainage Corridor report prepared by Habitat Technologies also included a list of wildlife habitats believed to be present on the subject site and observed wildlife as well as a list of primary habitat for wildlife potentially present on the subject site. The report states that listed species of wildlife likely do not "inhabit" the on -site habitat types; rather when observed in the habitat types they are simply passing through on their way to suitable habitat. A resident adjacent to the subject site notified the city of a heron's nest located on a property adjacent to the subject site. The location of the heron's nest was verified by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) who reported their findings in a November 7, 2007, letter. WDFW recommended that the proposed development observe a no -clearing setback of 300 feet from the nest and a 500-foot no - disturbance setback, in addition to a 5-year nest monitoring period since herons' were known to abandon nesting sites when threatened. In a November 1, 2011 letter, Habitat Technologies noted that the nest had fully fallen apart and was no longer present. In a January 18, 2012 letter, WDFW noted the five years of monitoring has occurred, confirmed the absence of the nest, and retracted their previous recommendation. C. The site is part of the Pacific Flyway. Approximately 2.8 acres of the site (31%) is proposed to be established in open space that includes conservation open space, constrained open space, and buffer open space. FWRC 18.55.060 requires that 15% of the site be established in open space, and as proposed, the Soundview Manor development will exceed the amount of open space required to be provided by code. The preservation of the wetland buffer and retention of significant trees throughout the open space tracts will continue to provide habitat opportunities for some types of wildlife. 6. Energy and Natural Resources a-c. Concur with the checklist. 7. Environmental Health a. 1-2) Concur with checklist. The proposed plat will be served by a steep cul-de-sac roadway that will be designed to accommodate emergency vehicle access. Fire and police department personnel have reviewed this plat for adequacy of emergency access and layout, and found no significant environmental health hazards. No further mitigation measures are necessary. b. Noise 1-3) Concur with the checklist. Noise levels will increase on a long-term basis, due to the creation of approximately 21 additional dwelling units on an undeveloped site. Control measures include required conformance with local noise ordinances and regulating hours of construction. An increase in noise levels due to traffic generated by the new residences is expected on a long-term basis. The majority of noise will be generated by vehicle traffic and will occur during the major commuter times during the week consistent with surrounding developed residential areas. Compliance with Soundview Manor SEPA Staff Report File #07-103111-00-SE / Doc. I.D. 59828 March 10, 2012 Page 9 of 12 the code and implementation of the measures outlined in the checklist will sufficiently mitigate noise levels. Additionally, the vegetated buffers to the east and west will help buffer noise levels. No further mitigation measures are necessary. 8. Land and Shoreline Use a-b. Concur with the checklist. c-d. According to the survey, there may be existing shed structures that intrude into the eastern edge of this property. These will not impact the developed areas. e-g Concur with the checklist. The minimum lot size is 9,600 square feet with the RS 9.6 zoning. Lot sizes are proposed to range from 9,603 square feet to 15,327 square feet. h. Concur with the checklist. The off -site wetland is classified as a Category 2 wetland and is regulated with a 100 foot buffer; portions of which are located on the subject property. The stream is classified as a minor stream and regulated with a 50-foot buffer. The subject property also contains geologically hazardous areas with soils that meet the definition of erosion hazard and steep slope hazard. i-l. Concur with the checklist. 9. Housing a-c. Concur with the checklist. 10. Aesthetics a-c. _ Concur with the checklist. Views onto the site will change from an undeveloped, forested site to that of a suburban residential development. Aesthetic influence on adjacent properties is taken into consideration. To that end, retaining walls associated with the storm drainage facility, which is visible from Dash Point Road, shall be no greater than eight feet in height and shall be screened with non-invasive vegetation that is maintained by the homeowners association. Retaining walls or rockeries separating individual building lots shall be based on a residential scale and concept, and be a maximum of six feet in height, as measured from finished grade at base of wall to top of wall; and must be composed of brick; rockery; textured or patterned concrete; or other masonry product that complements the proposed building and site development, although other materials may be used with the approval of the Community and Economic Development and Public Works Directors. The retention of open space tract areas on the east and west portions of the site with undisturbed vegetation, in addition to the regulated wetland buffer will add to the character of the proposed development. 11. Light and Glare a-d. Concur with the checklist. The applicant will provide street lights within the cul-de- sac of the proposed development, as well as along Dash Point Road. 12. Recreation a-c. Concur with the checklist. According to the city's Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Comprehensive Plan, the site is located in Park Planning Area A. Under the FWRC, applications for subdivision shall provide 15% of the gross land area in open space, or make a fee -in -lieu -of payment for the open space, or a combination thereof. In the case of the 392,630 square -foot subdivision, 58,894.5 square feet of open space will be required, with a minimum of 10% usable open space for many recreational activities. Soundview Manor SEPA Staff Report File #07-103111-00-SE / Doc. I.D. 59828 March 10, 2012 Page 10 of 12 The applicant has proposed to leave over 30% of the edges of the site in open space, in addition to the undisturbed wetland buffer. A pedestrian path located in a tract Owned by the homeowners association will connect the internal plat road to SW 314`" Street in the plat of Twin Lakes Division #6. This trail qualifies as usable open space under the subdivision code. In a March 12, 2012 e-mail, the applicant accepted the Parks Director's direction for open space that includes usable, conservation, buffer, and constrained open space, noting that the proposal meets the intent of the open space and recreation requirements as long as usable open space features such as soft trails, informal seating, and infilI landscaping are provided, subject to review at preliminary plat and engineering review, and as proposed, a fee -in -lieu -of payment is not required. 13. Historic and Cultural Preservation a-c. Concur with the checklist. 14. Transportation a-f. As depicted on sheet C1 of the preliminary plat submittal, the internal street shall meet the local streets standards of the FWCP Cross Section "W," with street lighting, street trees, and parking on both sides of the street. Sheet C-2 depicts Dash Point Road improved to FWCP Cross Section "K" with street lighting, an eight foot wide sidewalk, street trees, a bike lane, and a turn lane. Transitional.tapers will extend to adjacent properties. To comply with FWRC 18.55.010(4), which requires block perimeters no longerthan 1,320 feet for non -motorized trips and 2,640 feet for streets, an east/west street connection would be required across the subject property. The city granted a right-of- way modification to eliminate a vehicular connection to SW 310 Street.' The applicant will be required to install a pedestrian connection to the property line to maintain non -motorized block perimeter requirements of the FWRC. The pedestrian connection, designed to comply with FWRC 18.55.070, is to be located in tract to be dedicated to the City per FWRC 18.55.070 and maintained by the homeowners association. A November 2011, Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared by Heath & Associates, Inc. found that a left turn lane on SW Dash Point Road was not warranted. A November 17, 2011, concurrency decision found that the project would generate 26 PM peak hour trips. The Capacity Reserve Certificate issued on November 17, 2011, vested those trips to this project. The traffic impact fee (TIF) for the new 21 single-family units will be based on the single-family category rate to be calculated and paid at the time of final plat recording as provided in the FWRC. Based on current adopted rates for 2012, the fee is $3,112/per unit. 15. Public Services a-b. Concur with the checklist. The applicant prepared a school access narrative that was reviewed by the Federal Way School District. The site is located in the service areas for Twin Lakes Elementary, Lakota Middle School, and Decatur High School. Twin Lakes Elementary students will use the pedestrian corridor to SW 310 Street and walk along internal roadways in the Twin Lake subdivision to the elementaryschool as outlined in the school access analysis, which meets the minimum requirements for a safe walking path to the school. 7 ROW medication granted under file 11-104464-SM. Soundview Manor SEPA Staff Report File #07-103111-00-SE / Doc. I.D. 59828 March 10, 2012 Page 11 of 12 Lakota Middle School and Decatur High School students would be transported via school bus. The bus stop location is on Dash Point Road, and the school district is concerned that this road crossing location is not always safe. It is noted that bus stops are subject to change as student needs increase and roads are developed. Sidewalks will be extended along Dash Point Road along the project frontage. The school district is requiring that lighting highlight this sidewalk area for students walking to the intersection of 441h Avenue SW where they will be required to cross the road to meet the bus. Since there is no sidewalk on the north side of Dash Point Road, students will be instructed to wait on the south side on the new well -lit sidewalk section and then cross Dash Point Road when the bus has stopped. The collection of school impact fees will mitigate impacts to school service delivery. The current school mitigation fee is $3,393.00 (plus a city administrative fee) for a single-family residence and is collected at building permit issuance for a residence. The Federal Way City Council adjusts the impact fee annually, and the applicable fee would be determined at the time a complete individual single-family building permit is submitted to the city. 16. Utilities a-b. Concur with the checklist. As of the date of environmental determination, the applicant had not yet made application to Lakehaven Utility District for a predevelopment, pre -design, or developer extension agreement. Pipe sizes of eight inches are proposed for the proposed water and sewer mains. The applicant submitted a King County Certificate of Water Availability signed by Tacoma Water on Janaury 26, 2007, and a King County Certiiate of Sewer Availability signed by Lakehaven Utility District on March 1, 2007. IV. 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 43.21C.032(2)(c), as long as identified conditions are met. 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.

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 checklist 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. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS This environmental checklist 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 if you can. If you 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 NON -PROJECT PROPOSALS Complete this checklist for non -project proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." In addition, complete the Supplemental Sheet for Non -Project Actions (part D). For non -project 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.

No. The proposed plat will be constructed in one phase with no further plans for expansion upon completion. 8. List any environmental information you know about that has been prepared, or will be prepared, directly related to this proposal. A wetland report will be submitted for this Plat. Wetlands buffers are known to exist on this site. Habitat Technologies of Puyallup, WA delineated the wetland buffer areas and setbacks as shown on the Plat and has issued a wetland analysis report. Please see the site plan for a clear depiction of the wetland buffers and location. A Great Blue Heron nest was reported offsite. A 300 foot buffer has been established by DFW and supplemental information has been submitted. Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 3 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist 9. Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental approvals of other proposals directly affecting the property covered by your proposal? If yes, explain. To our knowledge, no other government approvals are pending that directly affects this proposal. 10. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal, if known. SEPA threshold determination, Hearing Examiner approval, site development permit, forest practices, NPDES, wetland verification, and building permits will be needed for our proposal. 11. Give a brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. This project proposes to develop 9.19 acres into a 21-lot housing development in the City of Federal Way. All proposed lots will exceed 9,600 square feet. 12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address if any, and section, township, and range if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available. While you should submit any plans required by the agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications related to this checklist. Directions to site: From I-5 take the 320'h Street Exit, follow 320"' Street SW to 47 h Avenue SW. Turn Right onto 47"' Avenue SW. Turn Right on SW Dash Point Road. See the Appendix for the legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map. B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS EARTH a. General description of the site (circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other. b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)? The steepest slope on the site is approximately 45 percent, located in the central portion of the site near the manmade access road. The average slope across the site is approximately 15 percent. c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, mulch)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime farmland. The site is approximately 80 percent Indianola loamy fine sand, 4 to 15 percent slopes. The Northeast corner of the site, approximately 3 percent is Alderwood and Kitsap soils, very steep. The Northwest portion, approximately 14 percent, is Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, 6 to 15 percent slopes. And the Southwest corner, approximately 2 percent is Ragnar-Indianola association, moderately steep. See Appendix for complete soil descriptions and soil map. Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 4 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. There is a Type 2 downstream severe erosion problem located to the northwest of the site. e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. The intent of the proposal is designed to minimize the site grade to the extent allowed by the City of Federal Way code. Due to roadway design constraints of 15% maximum grade the proposed roadway will require a grade cut. Due to the roadway cut a significant amount of grading will occur. The project will create approximately 52,000 cu. yd. of cut and 26,000 cu. yd. of fill. Each lot will be graded with a flat building pad. The flat building pads for most lots will have transition areas on each lot line. The transition areas will range from approximately 2-8 feet and will either be graded at 2:1 or a wall will be installed for the transition area. The rear yards of most lots will be graded with minimal slope to allow for recreational opportunities. The grading Grading plans will be prepared by a licensed professional engineer and will be submitted to The City of Federal Way for review and approval. If additional structural fill material is need a second source of clean, appropriate construction fill will be sourced. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. Yes. The site is covered with vegetation that includes mainly young and mature trees, grasses, and shrubs. If vegetation is cleared during wet weather, erosion could occur. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? Approximately 25%-30% of impervious surface proposed. h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any. As part of the grading plan, 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 threat of erosion ceases to exist. In addition to the standard erosion control methods the site will leave substantial vegetation on the easterly and westerly portions of the site which will reduce sediment laden runoff and dust. 2. AIR a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke, etc.) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. The grading activities proposed at the site will cause dust particulate to be emitted to 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. However, quantities are unknown. b. Are there any off -site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 5 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist Vehicles using the adjacent roadways can be a source of emissions or odor. However, it is not anticipated that this off -site vehicle source of emissions will impact this proposal. There are no other known sources of odor or emissions in the vicinity. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any. Unwanted dust particulate can be controlled to a certain extent by the application of water before and during grading activities. It is assumed the 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 because of vehicles using the site after construction. WATER a. Surface 1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year- round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, and wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into. A `perennial' major stream identified in the Wetland and Drainage Corridor Evaluation and Delineation Report, prepared by Habitat Technologies, the off site category II wetland with a 100' buffer and the storm drainage discharge into a regulated wetland associated with Dumas Bay. 2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans. Grading is proposed within 200' for the described wetland/stream but not within the buffer. 3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material. There will be no amount of fill or dredge material placed in or removed from surface waters or wetlands. 4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. There will be neither withdrawals nor diversions. In order to maintain wetland hydrology to the existing wetland and drainage corridor, storm drainage runoff from the back and side yards of Lots 14-21 and will be allowed to sheet flow into the proposed wetland buffer before being collected by the existing wetland. Open Space Tracts E and F will be left in their native conditions. Storm water from this tract will continue to flow to the wetland and buffer as does under existing conditions. 5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year floodplain? If so, note location on the site plan. The site is in Zone `X', an area determined to be outside the 100-year flood plain. 6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 6 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge. No, the proposal does not include discharges of waste materials to any existing surface water. b. Ground 1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to groundwater? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. There will be no groundwater withdrawals. Stormwater will be treated for water quality and retained in an onsite infiltration facility. 2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the following chemicals...; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve. The site will be connected to the existing public sewer facility served by Lakehaven Utilities. c. Water Runoff (including stormwater) 1) Describe the source of runoff (including stormwater) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe. The primary source of runoff will be from stormwater generated from the proposed roadway, sidewalks, driveways and roof area. Minimal water runoff is anticipated to occur because of landscape watering and other maintenance activities. The proposed storm drainage system will collect and convey runoff from the majority of the developed site to the storm drainage facilities, stormfilter system and a retention pond, centrally located along the site's northerly boundary. The onsite infiltration pond is proposed to handle all runoff from the new surfaces except for drainage necessary to maintain wetland hydrology. 2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. Generally, a project of this type and size would provide areas of landscaping as part of individual lots. If chemicals or fertilizers that are used to maintain these areas are not handled properly, it is possible they could enter infiltration facilities. To our knowledge, there are no other known sources of contaminants associated with this proposal. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any. All stormwater runoff generated from this project site will be collected and disposed in the proposed on -site Infiltration pond or conveyed to the on -site wetland to maintain hydrology. All drainage for roadway runoff will be collected and conveyed to a water quality treatment facility prior to discharge to the infiltration ponds. Stormwater and erosion control BMPs will be implemented. Construction activities are anticipated to be completed during the dry weather season to control and reduce runoff impacts. A level 2 downstream analysis will be prepared for during engineering review. Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 7 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist 4. PLANTS a.

What kind and amount of vegetation will be removed or altered? Approximately 68% of the site will undergo clearing and grading activities. 170 significant trees will be removed with 103.5 tree credits will remain in the open space and buffers. For survey purposes trees greater than 12" were the only trees identified by the filed survey. Additional tree credits exist that are less than 12" in diameter. Open space and buffer areas are densely forested with established vegetation that include native ground cover and trees 1"-11" dbh. Landscape planting is planned along the street frontage. Planting will occur within the open spaces to achieve required tree credits if necessary. c. List threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site. To our knowledge, there are no threatened or endangered plant species on or near the site. d. Proposed landscaping, use of native plants, or other measures to preserve or enhance vegetation on the site, if any. We propose to meet or exceed the minimum native vegetation retention requirements. ANIMALS a. Circle any birds and animals that have been observed on or near the site or are known to be on or near the site. birds: hawk, heron, eagle, soa birds, other: mammals: deer, bear, elk, beaver, other: fish: bass, salmon, trout, herring, shellfish, other: b. List any threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site. A Heron's nest has been sited approximately 280' offsite to the south. c. Is the site part of a migration route? If so, explain. The site is located within the boundaries of the western flyway. However, migrating bird populations have not been known to visit the site. Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 8 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist d. Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife, if any. WDFW recommended buffers and restrictions during nesting season (February 15-July 31, 2011) for a potential active Blue Heron nest. A site visit completed by Habitat Technologies on November 1, 2011, did not find a heron nest. Therefore we have requested relief from these recommendations and restrictions. See Exhibit VIII. The proposal includes the retention of 2.80 acres as Open Space and Critical Area Buffers that will preserve areas for wildlife. 6. ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar) will be used to meet the completed project's energy needs?

Sufficient amounts of which would be used to maintain a comfortable lifestyle and environment. b. Would your project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties? If so, generally describe. No, it is not anticipated this project will affect the potential for adjacent properties to use solar energy. c. What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of this proposal? List other proposed measures to reduce or control energy impacts, if any. The homes will be built to meet or exceed current building and energy codes. 7. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH a. Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to toxic chemicals, risk of fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste that could occur as a result of this proposal? If so, describe. Typically, a residential development is not a source of environmental health hazards. However, the risk of fire is always present within a residential development. 1) Describe special emergency services that might be required. While not anticipated to occur, the services of the local emergency service providers may be required at some time. 2) Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health hazards, if any. None are proposed. b. Noise 1) What types of noise exist in the area that may affect your project (for example: traffic, equipment operation, other)? Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 9 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist There is some traffic noise associated with adjacent roadways. However, it is not anticipated that the noise will adversely impact the proposed project. 2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project on a short- term or long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction operation, other)? 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. In addition, because the noise produced on the site depends on the equipment being used, the noise would vary from day to day. Maximum construction noise levels can be expected to range from 65 to 89 dBA with an average value of approximately 85 dBA. Minimum noise levels can be expected to have a wider range of 57 to 88 dBA with an average value of 78 dBA (based on a construction activity noise model, described in Noise from Construction Equipment and Operations, Building Equipment, and Home Appliances). Noise associated with construction operations on the site will occur roughly between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Long-term noise impacts will result from vehicles using the site and noises typical to a single-family residential plat. 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 the normal workday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. 8. LAND AND SHORELINE USE a.

Where potential blockage of existing views occurs, design methods will be used to reduce horizontal view blockage. Considerations will be made to preserve any existing view corridors by proper location of street right-of-ways, view conservation easements or other means. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any. Retention of existing mature trees, as well as other native vegetation per FWCC will help reduce or control aesthetic impacts created by the proposed action. Existing and vegetation to be planted will help to soften and compliment the proposed architectural elements. 11. LIGHT AND GLARE a. What type of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of day would it mainly occur? Light and glare will result from reflective surfaces and exterior building lights. Interior lighting may be noticeable. The occurrence of light impacts would be anticipated from dusk to dawn. Street lights will be located and oriented in a manner to minimize glare to plats occupants. Glare impacts are associated primarily with sunny days, something we don't have an abundance of in this region. b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard or interfere with views? It is highly unlikely that glare or light from the project site will interfere with views or affect wildlife. c. What existing off -site sources of light or glare may affect your proposal? There are no known off -site sources of light or glare that are anticipated to affect this proposal. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control light and glare impacts, if any.

The consolidated C horizon, at a depth of 24 to 40 inches, is mostly grayish brown mottled with yellowish brown. Some layers in the C horizon slake in water. In a few areas, there is a thin, gray or grayish -brown A2 horizon. In most areas, this horizon has been destroyed through logging operations. Soils included with this soil in mapping make up no more than 30 percent of the total acreage. Some areas are up to 3 percent poorly drained Norma, Bellingham, Seattle, Tukwila, and Shalcar soils; some are up to 5 percent the very gravelly Everett and Neilton Soils; and some are up to 15 percent Alderwood soils that have slopes more gentle or steeper than 6 to 15 percent. Some areas in Newcastle Hills are 25 percent Beausite soils, some northeast of Duvall are as much as 25 percent Oval] soils, and some in the vicinity of Dash Point are 10 percent Indianola and Kitsap soils. Also included are small areas of Alderwood soils that have a gravelly loam surface layer and subsoil. Permeability is moderately rapid in the surface layer and subsoil and very slow in the substratum. Roots penetrate easily to the consolidated substratum where they tend to mat on the surface. Some roots enter the substratum through cracks. Water moves on top of the substratum in winter. Available water capacity is low. Runoff is slow to medium, and the hazard of erosion is moderate. This soil is used for timber, pasture, berries, row crops, and urban development. Capability unit Ive-2; woodland group 3 d 1. C.E.Si. NWInc.

We are now actively seeking project preliminary plat approval from the City of Federal Way. A recent site visit by Habitat Technologies to our project Soundview Manor showed no evidence of the previously identified Heron nests (see attached letter). Therefore we will would request your concurrence with our biologist's findings and remove the recommendations from the site. The goal is to achieve preliminary plat for this project without the Heron buffer restrictions. It is important to mention that in your letter dated November 7, 2007 you made recommendations regarding construction activities in and around the site for 5 consecutive years during the nesting season of February July, it was also noted that there was no evidence that the stand was occupied during the July 2007 nesting season. Based on your 2007 field visit we feel that the five consecutive years concluded on July 31, 2011. Please provide a letter of approval removing all Heron related conditions to the City of Federal Way. Regards, l� Lori L.

NW Inc. 310 - 29" Street NE, Suite 101 Puyallup, WA 98372 RE: Sound View Manor (Parcels 1121039060 and 1121039119) Potential Large Nest Analysis Dear Mr. Deaver, Earlier today Habitat Technologies completed an onsite analysis to determine if the previously observed large nest noted in the 2007 and 2008 Habitat Technologies' letter reports located within a large black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) tree offsite to the south of the proposed Sound View Manor Residential Community had been utilized by large birds (such as great blue heron - Ardea herodias or red tailed hawk - Buteo jamaicensis) for nesting during the 2011 breeding season. As noted in 2007 and 2008 the large nest was not occupied within a large black cottonwood tree identified by survey as 286 feet south of the southern boundary of the Sound View Manor project site. This large black cottonwood tree was located approximately 200 feet west of an existing residential community to the east. An existing homesite was located approximately 220 feet directly to the east of the large black cottonwood tree. As identified on November 1, 2011 no large nest was present within the large black cottonwood tree. As with the 2008 assessment, the 2011 assessment noted branch debris from what may have at one time been a large nest under the tree canopy. No evidence of active nesting or nest occupation during the 2011 nesting season (i.e. droppings, feathers, or other indicators) was identified within the general location of the large black cottonwood tree or within the surrounding understory of the large black cottonwood tree. A meandering assessment of the remainder of the Sound View Manor project site did not identify any large nests that would have been occupied during the 2011 nesting season (see attached photos). Thank you for allowing Habitat Technologies the opportunity to assist with your project requirements. Please contact us with any questions or need for additional assessment. Sincerely, Bryan W.

The subject property is located within the 984 ft. Great Blue Heron Management buffer as recommended under management guidelines established for nesting great blue herons in the State of Washington under the WDFW Priority Habitats and Species Program. This letter outlines project -specific management recommendations and conservation considerations in reference to the proposed Soundview Manor Residential Community and nearby heron nesting activity. Great blue herons are considered a Priority Species by WDFW due to their colonial behavior. Heron colonies are categorized as a vulnerable aggregation; which includes those species or groups of animals susceptible to significant population declines, within a specific area or statewide, by virtue of their inclination to aggregate. They are considered a State Monitor species and are therefore managed by WDFW, as needed, to prevent them from becoming endangered, threatened, or sensitive. Great blue herons and their nests are protected under RCW 77.15.130, Protected Fish or Wildlife. Federal Way Municipal Code incorporates this in Chapter 18, Environmental Protection; under 18-28, Additional definitions; in the mention of fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, listing (2): Habitats and species of local importance. In the absence of comprehensive land -use and/or colony site management plans, WDFW recommends a permanent, year round buffer of 984 feet from the periphery of a colony in absence of any comprehensive land use plans (see attached buffer map). All human activities likely to cause colony abandonment should be restricted in this buffer year-round, and all human activities likely to cause disturbance to nesting great blue herons should be restricted in this buffer area from 15 February to 31 July. More information on Priority Habitats and Species can be found at: http://wdfw.wa.gov/hab/phspage.htm On 07/05/07, as a follow-up to a report of a great blue heron nest site that was previously unknown to WDFW, a site visit was conducted at an undeveloped stand of trees south of the proposed Soundview Manor site, accessed via a walking path near 31435 42nd Place SW, to investigate whether there was sign of recent heron nesting activity. The 07/05/07 site visit resulted in confirmation of two great blue heron nests found in a black cottonwood that is dominant within the canopy of the subject stand of woods. The tree is located at (WGS 84) N 47 19' 10.4", W 122 23' 15.9". The new heron colony site is roughly 2,000 ft southwest of the old Dumas Bay County Park heron colony site, which has been abandoned due to multiple pressures including eagle depredation events. At one time the Dumas Bay colony supported up to 24 active heron nests. The colony has not been used since 2000; at that time five active nests were observed. WDFW has interest in where the Dumas Bay colony birds have renested, as it is not certain if these individuals have remained within the immediate area, or left the vicinity altogether. The nearest known active heron colony in Federal Way is located to the northeast of the project site, in the Redondo Beach area; with two nests occupied, one of which actively used for nesting during the 2007 breeding season. Interviews with local citizens indicate that the new nest site has potentially been used for nesting since at least the 2006 breeding season (great blue heron nesting season, February 15-July 31). Anecdotal reports indicate that herons were in the stand in 2006, picking twigs from surrounding trees and building nests, as well as with nestlings later in the season. Observations made on 07/05/07 did not indicate current breeding season occupation, however anecdotal reports indicated that birds were in the stand earlier in the 2007 breeding season. WDFW considers the occupancy status of this nest site to currently be unknown; with no adults present during initial activity investigations in July 2007, but nests in the colony were new or newly repaired. The subject Soundview Manor construction would occur approximately 286 feet north (see attached buffer map) from the current nest tree. WDFW is unable at this time to predict where herons may distribute their nesting efforts within the currently known colony area, or elsewhere within the immediate vicinity in future nesting seasons. Future nests may be located closer in proximity, or further away to the proposed Soundview Manor site. Proposed project activities include: clearing and grading of the site; construction of the proposed residential housing subdivision; construction of access roads and other impervious infrastructure; landscaping activities; as well as other associated exterior heavy construction activities. Clearing, grading, and land disturbing activities are restricted during the heron nesting season under WDFW Priority Habitats and Species management recommendations for great blue herons which outline that any human activity likely to cause disturbance to nesting great blue herons should be restricted within a 984 ft buffer during the nesting season. Exterior construction, particularly a larger -scale subdivision project such as that proposed for the subject site, has the potential to disturb nesting great blue herons at the adjacent heron colony. Proposed subject construction activities, when implemented, will impact baseline environmental conditions within the vicinity of the project site; particularly noise levels within the surrounding area due to excavation, clearing, grading, heavy equipment use, multiple residential structures being built at once, and other such activities that are known to generate large amounts of noise and add to and/or alter human activity patterns in the area. These changes to human activity patterns and the associated increase in noise levels are not normally found within the built and natural environment surrounding the great blue heron nesting area. Although some species of wildlife, including herons, are known to habituate to some human activities and habitat alterations, particularly those that are regular in pattern and well established so as to allow for a gradual habituation period, a new situation or addition of new potentially disturbing factors may result in considerably different responses in wildlife species at either the individual or local population level. It is plausible that urban herons are habituated to regular, low -intensity human activities such as the recreational activity found along a nearby walking path (approximately 100 feet south) and residential activity found within the subdivisions nearby (the nearest being approximately 200 feet to the east) of the subject nest tree. However, various human activities may not pose an impact to wildlife or wildlife habitat as a single factor alone, but rather cumulatively, acting in a synergistic manner with other potentially influential factors. Therefore, it is likely that wildlife, including herons that utilize the area within the vicinity of the subject property, are not habituated to new activity patterns associated with the proposed construction project and the resulting alteration to baseline environmental conditions that would occur during implementation of the proposed project. Irregular noise and construction activities not usually found within the area may create stress in individual animals, resulting in altered behavior and activity patterns; as well as potentially attract predatorial species to the construction activities found within the area, or to the affected wildlife that may be displaying erratic behavior due to the additional stress factors found within the surrounding environment. Heron colonies in urban areas of western Washington are under increasing human -induced pressure, both directly and indirectly, due to their proximity to potentially disturbing human activities and the dynamic of constant change 2 associated with a developing urban built and natural environment. In recent years, other large urban heron colonies in King County have disbanded. At times, some of the herons will nest in smaller "satellite" colonies of roughly 1 to 5 nests in the vicinity of the old "larger colony" site. Alternatively, some of these old colony sites and their surrounding areas are not used at all for heron nesting purposes. Smaller colonies tend to be negatively impacted more easily by predators. The ultimate effect of the pressure exerted by an urban environment on heron colonies is complex and not completely understood. Therefore, conservation management measures are recommended due to the abandonment of historically well -established heron colonies within Federal Way and current observations of heron investigation and use of areas for nesting, albeit in small numbers, within the City at present. WDFW recommends the following measures be taken to assist in the management of the new great blue heron colony found south of the proposed Soundview Manor Residential Community: • No exterior construction activities including clearing, grading, construction of roads and multiple residential structures shall be allowed at the subject site during the great blue heron nesting season (February 15 - July 31) within a 500 ft. management buffer surrounding the current nest site. Lower intensity construction activity that limits noise and does not involve large scale site manipulation, such as preparation and finishing work limited to the interior of structures using hand held power tools, would be allowable during the nesting season. Such a condition should provide that this limitation period may be modified, including being reduced, depending on actual heron activity at the colony within any given year. A request by the applicant to alter this construction limitation would need to be reviewed by a qualified wildlife biologist and recommendations submitted to WDFW for approval. ■ Native trees greater than or equal to 56 ft in height and native shrubs greater than or equal to 23 ft. in height found within 300 feet of the current nest tree, e.g. along the southern edge of the proposed Soundview Manor Residential Community, shall be retained as a vegetative screening buffer to assist in mitigation of any activities found in the surrounding built environment that may disturb heron nesting activity at the subject nest site. ■ Where appropriate, outdoor utility lighting of Soundview Manor Residential Community should incorporate shielding to reduce glare into the recommended 300 ft. vegetative buffer in order to avoid any potential adverse impacts to great blue herons and other wildlife utilizing the existing natural environment found adjacent to the subject site. • Alterations to the above recommendations may be submitted to WDFW for review and management recommendations if it is determined that the subject nesting site is unoccupied by great blue herons for breeding purposes over a period of 5 consecutive years or greater, as documented by a qualified wildlife biologist and confirmed by WDFW.

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 checklist 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. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS This environmental checklist 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 if you can. If you 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 NON -PROJECT PROPOSALS Complete this checklist for non -project proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." In addition, complete the Supplemental Sheet for Non -Project Actions (part D). For non -project 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.

Proposed timing or schedule (including phasing, if applicable): Once all necessary approvals and permits are obtained, the project will be constructed. We anticipate that this will be in the summer of 2012. 7. Do you have any plans for future additions, expansion, or further activity related to or connected with this proposal? If yes, explain. No. The proposed plat will be constructed in one phase with no further plans for expansion upon completion. 8. List any environmental information you know about that has been prepared, or will be prepared, directly related to this proposal. A wetland report will be submitted for this Plat. Wetlands buffers are known to exist on this site. Habitat Technologies of Puyallup, WA delineated the wetland buffer areas and setbacks as shown on the Plat and has issued a wetland analysis report. Please see the site plan for a clear depiction of the wetland buffers and location. A Great Blue Heron nest was reported offsite. A 300 foot buffer has been established by DFW and supplemental information has been submitted. Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 3 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental approvals of other proposals directly affecting the property covered by your proposal? If yes, explain. To our knowledge, no other government approvals are pending that directly affects this proposal. 10. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal, if known. SEPA threshold determination, Hearing Examiner approval, site development permit, forest practices, NPDES, wetland verification, and building permits will be needed for our proposal. 11. Give a brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. This project proposes to develop 9.19 acres into a 21-lot housing development in the City of Federal Way. All proposed lots will exceed 9,600 square feet. 12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address if any, and section, township, and range if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available. While you should submit any plans required by the agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications related to this checklist. Directions to site: From I-5 take the 320"' Street Exit, follow 320"' Street SW to 47"' Avenue SW. Turn Right onto 47"' Avenue SW. Turn Right on SW Dash Point Road. See the Appendix for the legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map. B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS EARTH a. General description of the site (circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other. b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)? The steepest slope on the site is approximately 45 percent, located in the central portion of the site near the manmade access road. The average slope across the site is approximately 15 percent. c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, mulch)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime farmland. The site is approximately 80 percent Indianola loamy fine sand, 4 to 15 percent slopes. The Northeast corner of the site, approximately 3 percent is Alderwood and Kitsap soils, very steep. The Northwest portion, approximately 14 percent, is Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, 6 to 15 percent slopes. And the Southwest corner, approximately 2 percent is Ragnar-Indianola association, moderately steep. See Appendix for complete soil descriptions and soil map. Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 4 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. There is a Type 2 downstream severe erosion problem located to the northwest of the site. e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. The intent of the proposal is designed to minimize the site grade to the extent allowed by the City of Federal Way code. Due to roadway design constraints of 15% maximum grade the proposed roadway will require a grade cut. Due to the roadway cut a significant amount of grading will occur. The project will create approximately 52,000 cu. yd. of cut and 26,000 cu. yd. of fill. Each lot will be graded with a flat building pad. The flat building pads for most lots will have transition areas on each lot line. The transition areas will range from approximately 2-8 feet and will either be graded at 2:1 or a wall will be installed for the transition area. The rear yards of most lots will be graded with minimal slope to allow for recreational opportunities. The grading Grading plans will be prepared by a licensed professional engineer and will be submitted to The City of Federal Way for review and approval. If additional structural fill material is need a second source of clean, appropriate construction fill will be sourced. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. Yes. The site is covered with vegetation that includes mainly young and mature trees, grasses, and shrubs. If vegetation is cleared during wet weather, erosion could occur. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? Approximately 25%-30% of impervious surface proposed. h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any. As part of the grading plan, 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 threat of erosion ceases to exist. In addition to the standard erosion control methods the site will leave substantial vegetation on the easterly and westerly portions of the site which will reduce sediment laden runoff and dust. 2. AIR a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke, etc.) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. The grading activities proposed at the site will cause dust particulate to be emitted to 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. However, quantities are unknown. b. Are there any off -site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 5 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist Vehicles using the adjacent roadways can be a source of emissions or odor. However, it is not anticipated that this off -site vehicle source of emissions will impact this proposal. There are no other known sources of odor or emissions in the vicinity. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any. Unwanted dust particulate can be controlled to a certain extent by the application of water before and during grading activities. It is assumed the 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 because of vehicles using the site after construction. 3. WATER a. Surface 1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year- round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, and wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into. A `perennial' major stream identified in the Wetland and Drainage Corridor Evaluation and Delineation Report, prepared by Habitat Technologies, the off site category II wetland with a 100' buffer and the storm drainage discharge into a regulated wetland associated with Dumas Bay. 2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans. Grading is proposed within 200' for the described wetland/stream but not within the buffer. 3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material. There will be no amount of fill or dredge material placed in or removed from surface waters or wetlands. 4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. There will be neither withdrawals nor diversions. In order to maintain wetland hydrology to the existing wetland and drainage corridor, storm drainage runoff from the back and side yards of Lots 14-21 and will be allowed to sheet flow into the proposed wetland buffer before being collected by the existing wetland. Open Space Tracts E and F will be left in their native conditions. Storm water from this tract will continue to flow to the wetland and buffer as does under existing conditions. 5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year floodplain? If so, note location on the site plan. The site is in Zone `X', an area determined to be outside the 100-year flood plain. 6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 6 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge. No, the proposal does not include discharges of waste materials to any existing surface water. b. Ground 1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to groundwater? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. There will be no groundwater withdrawals. Stormwater will be treated for water quality and retained in an onsite infiltration facility. 2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the following chemicals...; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve. The site will be connected to the existing public sewer facility served by Lakehaven Utilities. c. Water Runoff (including stormwater) 1) Describe the source of runoff (including stormwater) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe. The primary source of runoff will be from stormwater generated from the proposed roadway, sidewalks, driveways and roof area. Minimal water runoff is anticipated to occur because of landscape watering and other maintenance activities. The proposed storm drainage system will collect and convey runoff from the majority of the developed site to the storm drainage facilities, stormfilter system and a retention pond, centrally located along the site's northerly boundary. The onsite infiltration pond is proposed to handle all runoff from the new surfaces except for drainage necessary to maintain wetland hydrology. 2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. Generally, a project of this type and size would provide areas of landscaping as part of individual lots. If chemicals or fertilizers that are used to maintain these areas are not handled properly, it is possible they could enter infiltration facilities. To our knowledge, there are no other known sources of contaminants associated with this proposal. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any. All stormwater runoff generated from this project site will be collected and disposed in the proposed on -site Infiltration pond or conveyed to the on -site wetland to maintain hydrology. All drainage for roadway runoff will be collected and conveyed to a water quality treatment facility prior to discharge to the infiltration ponds. Stormwater and erosion control BMPs will be implemented. Construction activities are anticipated to be completed during the dry weather season to control and reduce runoff impacts. A level 2 downstream analysis will be prepared for during engineering review. Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 7 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist 4. PLANTS a. Check or circle types of vegetation found on the site. X deciduous tree: alder, maple, aspen, other birch X evergreen tree: fr, cedar, pine, other hemlock X shrubs X grass pasture crop or grain wet soil plants: cattail, buttercup, bulrush, skunk cabbage, other water plant: water lily, eelgrass, milfoil, other _other types of vegetation b. What kind and amount of vegetation will be removed or altered? Approximately 68% of the site will undergo clearing and grading activities. 170 significant trees will be removed with 103.5 tree credits will remain in the open space and buffers. For survey purposes trees greater than 12" were the only trees identified by the filed survey. Additional tree credits exist that are less than 12" in diameter. Open space and buffer areas are densely forested with established vegetation that include native ground cover and trees 1"-11" dbh. Landscape planting is planned along the street frontage. Planting will occur within the open spaces to achieve required tree credits if necessary. c. List threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site. To our knowledge, there are no threatened or endangered plant species on or near the site. d. Proposed landscaping, use of native plants, or other measures to preserve or enhance vegetation on the site, if any. We propose to meet or exceed the minimum native vegetation retention requirements. 5. ANIMALS a. Circle any birds and animals that have been observed on or near the site or are known to be on or near the site. birds: hawk, heron, eagle, songbirds, other: mammals: deer, bear, elk, beaver, other: fish: bass, salmon, trout, herring, shellfish, other: b. List any threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site. A Heron's nest has been sited approximately 280' offsite to the south. c. Is the site part of a migration route? If so, explain. The site is located within the boundaries of the western flyway. However, migrating bird populations have not been known to visit the site. Bulletin 4050 — August 19, 2004 Page 8 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist d. Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife, if any. WDFW recommended buffers and restrictions during nesting season (February 15-July 31, 2011) for a potential active Blue Heron nest. A site visit completed by Habitat Technologies on November 1, 2011, did not find a heron nest. Therefore we have requested relief from these recommendations and restrictions. See Exhibit VIII. The proposal includes the retention of 2.80 acres as Open Space and Critical Area Buffers that will preserve areas for wildlife. 6. ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar) will be used to meet the completed project's energy needs? Describe whether it will be used for heating, manufacturing, etc. The primary energy source required to meet the energy needs of the proposed plat is electricity. Sufficient amounts of which would be used to maintain a comfortable lifestyle and environment. b. Would your project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties? If so, generally describe. No, it is not anticipated this project will affect the potential for adjacent properties to use solar energy. c. What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of this proposal? List other proposed measures to reduce or control energy impacts, if any. The homes will be built to meet or exceed current building and energy codes. 7. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH a. Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to toxic chemicals, risk of fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste that could occur as a result of this proposal? If so, describe. Typically, a residential development is not a source of environmental health hazards. However, the risk of fire is always present within a residential development. 1) Describe special emergency services that might be required. While not anticipated to occur, the services of the local emergency service providers may be required at some time. 2) Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health hazards, if any. None are proposed. b. Noise 1) What types of noise exist in the area that may affect your project (for example: traffic, equipment operation, other)? Bulletin #050 — August 19, 2004 Page 9 of 16 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist There is some traffic noise associated with adjacent roadways. However, it is not anticipated that the noise will adversely impact the proposed project. 2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project on a short- term or long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction operation, other)? 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. In addition, because the noise produced on the site depends on the equipment being used, the noise would vary from day to day. Maximum construction noise levels can be expected to range from 65 to 89 dBA with an average value of approximately 85 dBA. Minimum noise levels can be expected to have a wider range of 57 to 88 dBA with an average value of 78 dBA (based on a construction activity noise model, described in Noise from Construction Equipment and Operations, Building Equipment, and Home Appliances). Noise associated with construction operations on the site will occur roughly between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Long-term noise impacts will result from vehicles using the site and noises typical to a single-family residential plat. 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 the normal workday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. LAND AND SHORELINE USE a. What is the current use of the site and adjacent properties? The site is currently vacant residential land. The site boarders SW Dash Point Road to the north, single family residential development to the west, single family/residential vacant land to the east and vacant school district land to the south. b.

Considerations will be made to preserve any existing view corridors by proper location of street right-of-ways, view conservation easements or other means. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any. Retention of existing mature trees, as well as other native vegetation per FWCC will help reduce or control aesthetic impacts created by the proposed action. Existing and vegetation to be planted will help to soften and compliment the proposed architectural elements. 11. LIGHT AND GLARE a. What type of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of day would it mainly occur? Light and glare will result from reflective surfaces and exterior building lights. Interior lighting may be noticeable. The occurrence of light impacts would be anticipated from dusk to dawn. Street lights will be located and oriented in a manner to minimize glare to plats occupants. Glare impacts are associated primarily with sunny days, something we don't have an abundance of in this region. b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard or interfere with views? It is highly unlikely that glare or light from the project site will interfere with views or affect wildlife. c. What existing off -site sources of light or glare may affect your proposal? There are no known off -site sources of light or glare that are anticipated to affect this proposal. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control light and glare impacts, if any.

We are now actively seeking project preliminary plat approval from the City of Federal Way. A recent site visit by Habitat Technologies to our project Soundview Manor showed no evidence of the previously identified Heron nests (see attached letter). Therefore we will would request your concurrence with our biologist's findings and remove the recommendations from the site. The goal is to achieve preliminary plat for this project without the Heron buffer restrictions. It is important to mention that in your letter dated November 7, 2007 you made recommendations regarding construction activities in and around the site for 5 consecutive years during the nesting season of February July, it was also noted that there was no evidence that the stand was occupied during the July 2007 nesting season. Based on your 2007 field visit we feel that the five consecutive years concluded on July 31, 2011. Please provide a letter of approval removing all Heron related conditions to the City of Federal Way. Regards, 5 � Lori L.

NW Inc. 310 - 29th Street NE, Suite 101 Puyallup, WA 98372 RE: Sound View Manor (Parcels 1121039060 and 1121039119) Potential Large Nest Analysis Dear Mr. Deaver, Earlier today Habitat Technologies completed an onsite analysis to determine if the previously observed large nest noted in the 2007 and 2008 Habitat Technologies' letter reports located within a large black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) tree offsite to the south of the proposed Sound View Manor Residential Community had been utilized by large birds (such as great blue heron - Ardea herodias or red tailed hawk - Buteo jamaicensis) for nesting during the 2011 breeding season. As noted in 2007 and 2008 the large nest was not occupied within a large black cottonwood tree identified by survey as 286 feet south of the southern boundary of the Sound View Manor project site. This large black cottonwood tree was located approximately 200 feet west of an existing residential community to the east. An existing homesite was located approximately 220 feet directly to the east of the large black cottonwood tree. As identified on November 1, 2011 no large nest was present within the large black cottonwood tree. As with the 2008 assessment, the 2011 assessment noted branch debris from what may have at one time been a large nest under the tree canopy. No evidence of active nesting or nest occupation during the 2011 nesting season (i.e. droppings, feathers, or other indicators) was identified within the general location of the large black cottonwood tree or within the surrounding understory of the large black cottonwood tree. A meandering assessment of the remainder of the Sound View Manor project site did not identify any large nests that would have been occupied during the 2011 nesting season (see attached photos). Thank you for allowing Habitat Technologies the opportunity to assist with your project requirements. Please contact us with any questions or need for additional assessment. Sincerely, Bryan W.

The subject property is located within the 984 ft. Great Blue Heron Management buffer as recommended under management guidelines established for nesting great blue herons in the State of Washington under the WDFW Priority Habitats and Species Program. This letter outlines project -specific management recommendations and conservation considerations in reference to the proposed Soundview Manor Residential Community and nearby heron nesting activity. Great blue herons are considered a Priority Species by WDFW due to their colonial behavior. Heron colonies are categorized as a vulnerable aggregation; which includes those species or groups of animals susceptible to significant population declines, within a specific area or statewide, by virtue of their inclination to aggregate. They are considered a State Monitor species and are therefore managed by WDFW, as needed, to prevent them from becoming endangered, threatened, or sensitive. Great blue herons and their nests are protected under RCW 77.15.130, Protected Fish or Wildlife. Federal Way Municipal Code incorporates this in Chapter 18, Environmental Protection; under 18-28, Additional definitions; in the mention of fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, listing (2): Habitats and species of local importance. In the absence of comprehensive land -use and/or colony site management plans, WDFW recommends a permanent, year round buffer of 984 feet from the periphery of a colony in absence of any comprehensive land use plans (see attached buffer map). All human activities likely to cause colony abandonment should be restricted in this buffer year-round, and al human activities likely to cause disturbance to nesting great blue herons should be restricted in this buffer area from 15 February to 31 July. More information on Priority Habitats and Species can be found at: http://wdfw.wa.gov/hab/phspage.htm On 07/05/07, as a follow-up to a report of a great blue heron nest site that was previously unknown to WDFW, a site visit was conducted at an undeveloped stand Of trees south of the proposed Soundview Manor site, accessed via a walking path near 31435 42nd Place SW, to investigate whether there was sign of recent heron nesting activity. The 07/05/07 site visit resulted in confirmation of two great blue heron nests found in a black cottonwood that is dominant within the canopy of the subject stand of woods. The tree is located at (WGS 84) N 47 19' 10.4", W 122 23' 15.9". The new heron colony site is roughly 2,000 ft southwest of the old Dumas Bay County Park heron colony site, which has been abandoned due to multiple pressures including eagle depredation events. At one time the Dumas Bay colony supported up to 24 active heron nests. The colony has not been used since 2000; at that time five active nests were observed. WDFW has interest in where the Dumas Bay colony birds have renested, as it is not certain if these individuals have remained within the immediate area, or left the vicinity altogether. The nearest known active heron colony in Federal Way is located to the northeast of the project site, in the Redondo Beach area; with two nests occupied, one of which actively used for nesting during the 2007 breeding season. Interviews with local citizens indicate that the new nest site has potentially been used for nesting since at least the 2006 breeding season (great blue heron nesting season, February 15-July 31). Anecdotal reports indicate that herons were in the stand in 2006, picking twigs from surrounding trees and building nests, as well as with nestlings later in the season. Observations made on 07/05/07 did not indicate current breeding season occupation, however anecdotal reports indicated that birds were in the stand earlier in the 2007 breeding season. WDFW considers the occupancy status of this nest site to currently be unknown; with no adults present during initial activity investigations in July 2007, but nests in the colony were new or newly repaired. The subject Soundview Manor construction would occur approximately 286 feet north (see attached buffer map) from the current nest tree. WDFW is unable at this time to predict where herons may distribute their nesting efforts within the currently known colony area, or elsewhere within the immediate vicinity in future nesting seasons. Future nests may be located closer in proximity, or further away to the proposed Soundview Manor site. Proposed project activities include: clearing and grading of the site; construction of the proposed residential housing subdivision; construction of access roads and other impervious infrastructure; landscaping activities; as well as other associated exterior heavy construction activities. Clearing, grading, and land disturbing activities are restricted during the heron nesting season under WDFW Priority Habitats and Species management recommendations for great blue herons which outline that any human activity likely to cause disturbance to nesting great blue herons should be restricted within a 984 ft buffer during the nesting season. Exterior construction, particularly a larger -scale subdivision project such as that proposed for the subject site, has the potential to disturb nesting great blue herons at the adjacent heron colony. Proposed subject construction activities, when implemented, will impact baseline environmental conditions within the vicinity of the project site; particularly noise levels within the surrounding area due to excavation, clearing, grading, heavy equipment use, multiple residential structures being built at once, and other such activities that are known to generate large amounts of noise and add to and/or alter human activity patterns in the area. These changes to human activity patterns and the associated increase in noise levels are not normally found within the built and natural environment surrounding the great blue heron nesting area. Although some species of wildlife, including herons, are known to habituate to some human activities and habitat alterations, particularly those that are regular in pattern and well established so as to allow for a gradual habituation period, a new situation or addition of new potentially disturbing factors may result in considerably different responses in wildlife species at either the individual or local population level. It is plausible that urban herons are habituated to regular, low -intensity human activities such as the recreational activity found along a nearby walking path (approximately 100 feet south) and residential activity found within the subdivisions nearby (the nearest being approximately 200 feet to the east) of the subject nest tree. However, various human activities may not pose an impact to wildlife or wildlife habitat as a single factor alone, but rather cumulatively, acting in a synergistic manner with other potentially influential factors. Therefore, it is likely that wildlife, including herons that utilize the area within the vicinity of the subject property, are not habituated to new activity patterns associated with the proposed construction project and the resulting alteration to baseline environmental conditions that would occur during implementation of the proposed project. Irregular noise and construction activities not usually found within the area may create stress in individual animals, resulting in altered behavior and activity patterns; as well as potentially attract predatorial species to the construction activities found within the area, or to the affected wildlife that may be displaying erratic behavior due to the additional stress factors found within the surrounding environment. Heron colonies in urban areas of western Washington are under increasing human -induced pressure, both directly and indirectly, due to their proximity to potentially disturbing human activities and the dynamic of constant change OA associated with a developing urban built and natural environment. In recent years, other large urban heron colonies in King County have disbanded. At times, some of the herons will nest in smaller "satellite" colonies of roughly 1 to 5 nests in the vicinity of the old "larger colony" site. Alternatively, some of these old colony sites and their surrounding areas are not used at all for heron nesting purposes. Smaller colonies tend to be negatively impacted more easily by predators. The ultimate effect of the pressure exerted by an urban environment on heron colonies is complex and not completely understood. Therefore, conservation management measures are recommended due to the abandonment of historically well -established heron colonies within Federal Way and current observations of heron investigation and use of areas for nesting, albeit in small numbers, within the City at present. WDFW recommends the following measures be taken to assist in the management of the new great blue heron colony found south of the proposed Soundview Manor Residential Community: • No exterior construction activities including clearing, grading, construction of roads and multiple residential structures shall be allowed at the subject site during the great blue heron nesting season (February 15 - July 31) within a 500 ft. management buffer surrounding the current nest site. Lower intensity construction activity that limits noise and does not involve large scale site manipulation, such as preparation and finishing work limited to the interior of structures using hand held power tools, would be allowable during the nesting season. Such a condition should provide that this limitation period may be modified, including being reduced, depending on actual heron activity at the colony within any given year. A request by the applicant to alter this construction limitation would need to be reviewed by a qualified wildlife biologist and recommendations submitted to WDFW for approval. • Native trees greater than or equal to 56 ft in height and native shrubs greater than or equal to 23 ft. in height found within 300 feet of the current nest tree, e.g. along the southern edge of the proposed Soundview Manor Residential Community, shall be retained as a vegetative screening buffer to assist in mitigation of any activities found in the surrounding built environment that may disturb heron nesting activity at the subject nest site. • Where appropriate, outdoor utility lighting of Soundview Manor Residential Community should incorporate shielding to reduce glare into the recommended 300 ft. vegetative buffer in order to avoid any potential adverse impacts to great blue herons and other wildlife utilizing the existing natural environment found adjacent to the subject site. • Alterations to the above recommendations may be submitted to WDFW for review and management recommendations if it is determined that the subject nesting site is unoccupied by great blue herons for breeding purposes over a period of 5 consecutive years or greater, as documented by a qualified wildlife biologist and confirmed by WDFW.

The site is located near the 4400 block of SW Dash Point Road (SR 509) in Federal Way, Washington. Potential students residing in Soundview Manor will be served by the Federal Way School Districts. Current boundaries indicate that the schools in which the students will attend are: Twin Lakes Elementary School 4400 SW 320"' Street Lakota Junior High School 1415 SW 314"' Street Decatur High School 2800 SW 320' Street Internal plat sidewalks are proposed with connection points to SW Dash Point Road (SR 509) and SW 314' Street. All planned walking or bus routes would commence at these access points. OBJECTIVES 1. Students will cross the fewest number of streets possible to reduce vehicle - pedestrian exposures. 2. Students will walk on sidewalks or paths where available. 3. Students will walk the shortest possible distance on street where practical. 4. Students will walk on the left side of the road facing street where practical. 5. Students will avoid high speed, high volume roads and roads with high truck volume. 6. Students will make maximum use of protective techniques (traffic control devices, existing crossing guards and school patrols). 7. Use easements with walkways through parks or other available areas where student safety is maximized, walkways and paths must be cleared of vegetation for maximum visibility. SOUNDVIEW MANOR TO TWIN LAKES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Distance: The approximate straight line distance from Soundview Manor to Twin Lakes Elementary is approximately 1,400' (exhibit A) as approximated from King County u.' RESUBMITTED NOV 0 4 2011 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY CDS Services: Students residing at Soundview Manor would walk to Twin Lakes Elementary School. An existing bus route is currently located at SW Dash Point Road and 48d` Place SW. This bus stop is approximately 1000' to the NNW of the proposed entrance to the plat. The bus stop is located on the north side of SW Dash Point Road (SR 509) utilizing this stop would require the crossing of SR 509. Planned Walking Route: The walk route to Twin Lakes Elementary from Soundview Manor will begin by heading east to a pathway between proposed lots 3 and 4 which connects with SW 314th Street for approximately 300' to 42nd Place SW. Students head SSE approximately 800' to 42'd Ave SW (turns into SW 315th St. Students continue SSW approximately 750' to SW 320d' Street. No crossing is required at any location than that within the plat. Students head W for approximately 125' to an existing crosswalk located at the southeast entrance to Twin Lakes Elementary School.

The Federal Way School District would prefer an analysis of walking paths to schools and bus stops from new subdivisions be prepared by the developer prior to final comments on impacts. Generally a walking route should be planned to assure that school -age pedestrians from a neighborhood: • Cross the fewest number of streets to reduce vehicle -pedestrian exposures • Walk on sidewalks or paths where available; . • Walk the shortest possible distance on streets without sidewalks or wide shoulders; • Walk on the left side of the road facing traffic on streets where practicable, • Avoid high speed, high volume roads and roads with high truck volume. • Make maximum use of protective techniques (traffic control devices, existing crossing guards and school patrols.) • Use easements with walkways through parks or other available areas where student safety is maximized. Walkways and paths must be cleared of vegetation for maximum visibility. The analysis of walking paths to schools and school bus stop locations from a new subdivision should include the following information: • School location Description of sidewalks, pedestrian paths and shoulders including: ➢ condition and width of shoulder and sidewalks; ➢ whether shoulders are paved, gravel or grass, or non-existent; ➢ whether sidewalks and pathways are immediately adjacent to the traffic lanes or are separated by a planting strip or other means from moving traffic; and ➢ the location of drainage or irrigation ditches. • Location of all crosswalks, including type of crossing protection offered; ■ Medians, -pedestrian refuge islands and other pedestrian safety features; • Posted speed limits and warning signs, especially all 20 mph school speed limit zones; ■ All stop and yield signs; • Traffic signals including presence of marked crosswalks and pedestrian signal indication. Traffic signal timing and phasing for pedestrian crossing. • Major sight line obstructions as measured from the height of children. Bicycle lanes or paths. • Other relevant pedestrian safety factors observed.

This document provides site information and the analysis used for the preliminary storm drainage design. The 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual and the City of Federal Way addendum to that document, as well as City of Federal Way design standards establish the methodology and design criteria used for this project. 1.2 Pre -Developed Conditions The site is located south of SW Dash Point Road approximately along the 44th Avenue SW alignment (See Site Location — Figure 2). The existing site is generally square with the northern boundary following the northeasterly alignment of SW Dash Point Road. The site is comprised of 2 parcels consisting of approximately 9.01 acres. Currently, the site is within the Residential Single -Family (RS 9.6) zoning district. The site is vacant and currently forested with a mix of native second -growth conifer and deciduous trees. There is an existing offsite drainage corridor and wetland adjacent to the entire west boundary of the site. The drainage corridor and wetland flow in a northerly direction towards SW Dash Point Road. Based on City of Federal Way Stream Ratings Map, the existing drainage corridor is classified as a "Minor Stream" and the existing wetland is classified as a Category 2 wetland. Based on their respective classifications, both the drainage corridor and the wetland require 100-foot buffers. Although both the drainage corridor and wetland are located completely offsite, the 100-foot buffer extends onto the site and affects a majority of the western boundary. The buffer was established from a wetland biologist flagging the eastern limits of the wetland and associated drainage -1- corridor and then a licensed surveyor locating the wetland flags. An existing dirt road connected to SW Dash Point Road runs through the site in a southeasterly direction continuing offsite near the southeast corner of the site. The site is bordered to the north by SW Dash Point Road, to the east by the existing Twin Lakes No. 6 subdivision (RS 7.2), to the south by undeveloped property (RS 9.6), and to the west by a combination of undeveloped property (RS 9.6) and the existing Dumas Bay No. 2 subdivision (RS 7.2). The existing site falls within the City of Federal Way designated Lower Puget Sound drainage basin. There is no known drainage problems associated with the existing site. Overall, the existing site generally slopes downward in a north -northwesterly direction. Based on existing contours, the site is comprised of several fairly well divined ridges and ravines all running in a north -northwesterly direction. It appears that the existing dirt road running through the site may have been constructed within one of the existing ravines. Overall, a majority of the site slopes at approximately 10% - 35% with some areas exceeding 40%. The existing elevations range between approximately 130-ft. to 233-ft. The site is not within a floodway or flood plain. The SCS Soil Survey for King County has mapped several soil types within the boundary of the site (See Soil Exhibits — Figure 4). The overwhelmingly predominant soil type for the site is Indianola loamy fine sand (InC). The remaining three soil types consist of Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AgC), Alderwood and Kitsap soils (AkF), and Ragnar- Indianola association (RdE). More detailed and site specific analysis has been completed -2- W for this project. This analysis is included in the geotechnical reports and memorandums included in Appendix B of this report. 1.3 Developed Conditions The proposed Soundview Manor plat consists of dividing 2 parcels totaling approximately 9.01 acres into 21 single-family residential lots. The proposed plat will develop approximately 6.18 acres of the site. Of the remaining project area, approximately 1.39 acres along the western boundary will remain as open space consisting of a wetland buffer associated with the existing offsite wetland and drainage corridor, and approximately 1.44 acres along the eastern boundary will remain as open space, landscape, and Heron buffer. The proposed plat will be served by a new internal public road system which includes one permanent cul-de-sac. The proposed plat will be accessed from SW Dash Point Road. Along with the proposed public road system, seven separate tracts are proposed for the plat. Tract "A" will be utilized for the public storm facility, Tract `B" is associated with the required wetland buffer along the west boundary of the plat and Tracts "C" and "D" are related to 10-ft. landscape strips adjacent to the SW Dash Point Road right of way. Tracts "E", "F" and `G' will be left as natural open space area. The proposed internal public road system will be complete with asphalt pavement, cement concrete curb and gutter, and cement concrete sidewalks. The new public roads will provide internal access to all of the proposed residential lots. SW Dash Point Road will be improved with a new half street improvement to widen the street section and will be complete with new cement concrete curb and gutter and cement concrete sidewalk. -3- The proposed plat will disturb approximately 6.16-acres of the site in order to construct the proposed improvements. Approximately 30% of the developed portion of the proposed plat will become impervious surfaces consisting of asphalt pavement, cement concrete, roof surfaces, patios, and decks. The remaining developed areas will be appropriately landscaped either by the individual lot owners or the project developer. The project will create approximately 59,000 cu. yd. of cut and 23,000 cu. yd. of fill. The proposed storm drainage system will collect and convey runoff from a majority of the developed site to storm drainage facilities (stormfilter system / retention pond) centrally located along the site's northerly boundary. Prior to discharging into the proposed retention pond, stormwater runoff from the developed site will flow through a stormfilter water quality system provided by CONTECH Stormwater Solutions, Inc. Conservation Flow Control is required for this project and is being mitigated for by the construction of a retention pond. The frontage road improvement areas will bypass the onsite retention pond, however the flows from this area are less than the existing onsite basin flows. Because the onsite basin flows will be retained and infiltrated onsite additional offsite flow control for the frontage area is not required to meet the overall conservation flow control requirement. Stormwater conveyance for the proposed project will be addressed in a number of ways. The proposed roads will be complete with storm drainage structures and a tightline conveyance system to collect and convey storm drainage to the proposed storm drainage facility. Storm drainage from the proposed roof surfaces will be tightlined to the storm _J drainage system located within the proposed roads. Storm drainage from all of the front -4- yards and a majority of the side yards for most lots will drain towards the proposed roads based on the proposed finish grading. In order to maintain wetland hydrology to the existing wetland and drainage corridor, storm drainage runoff from the back and side yards of Lots 14-21 and a portion will be allowed to sheet flow into the proposed wetland buffer before being collected by the existing wetland. Open Space Tract `E' will be left as native conditions. Storm water from this tract will continue to flow to the wetland and buffer as does under existing conditions. All segments of the proposed storm drainage conveyance system will adequately convey stormwater runoff generated by the 25-year and the 100-year storm events. -5- Fi ure 1 - TIR Worksheet -6- KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON, SURFACE WATER DESIGN MANUAL TECHNICAL INFORMATION REPORT (TIR) WORKSHEET Part 1.

In a few areas, there is a thin, gray or grayish -brown A2 horizon. In most areas, this horizon has been destroyed through logging operations. Soils included with this soil in mapping make up no more than 30 percent of the total acreage. Some areas are up to 3 percent poorly drained Norma, Bellingham., Seattle, Tukwila, and Shalcar soils; some are up to 5 percent the very gravelly Everett and Neilton Soils; and some are up to 15 percent Alderwood soils that have slopes more gentle or steeper than 6 to 15 percent. Some areas in Newcastle Hills are 25 percent Beausite soils, some northeast of Duvall are as much as 25 percent Ovall soils, and some in the vicinity of Dash Point are 10 percent Indianola and Kitsap soils. Also included are small areas of Alderwood soils that have a gravelly loam surface layer and subsoil. Permeability is moderately rapid in the surface layer and subsoil and very slow in the substratum. Roots penetrate easily to the consolidated substratum where they tend to mat on the surface. Some roots enter the substratum through cracks. Water moves on top of the substratum in winter. Available water capacity is low. Runoff is slow to medium, and the hazard of erosion is moderate. This soil is used for timber, pasture, berries, row crops, and urban development.

A proposed storm drainage system will collect and convey runoff from the developed site to storm drainage facilities (stormfilter system / retention pond) centrally located along the sites northerly boundary. In order to maintain wetland hydrology to the existing wetland and drainage corridor, storm drainage runoff from the back and side yards of Lots 14-21 and a portion of Lot 6 will be allowed to sheet flow into the proposed wetland buffer before being collected by the existing wetland. The predeveloped and developed basins were analyzed to determine peak flow and volume. The calculation in the appendix show that the runoff from the lots and tract combined with the offsite flow will closely mimic the existing flows and volumes for the wetland and stream basin. 2.1.2 Core Requirement #2 Offsite analysis. The offsite analysis is provided in Section 3.0 later in this report. 2.1.3 Core Requirement #3 Flow Control. The project is located in an area that the City of Federal Way has designated as a Conservation Flow Control Area 2.1.4 Core Requirement #4 Conveyance The conveyance system is designed to convey runoff from the 25-year and the 100-year peak flows for the proposed Soundview Manor development. - 23 - 2.1.5 Core Requirement #5 Erosion and Sediment Control The erosion control plan has been designed to meet or exceed the applicable requirements of the City of Federal Way. Proper ongoing monitoring and maintenance will be required. An erosion and sediment control plan will be provided during the formal engineering plan review. An NPDES and monitoring by the Department of Ecology will be a requirement of this project. 2.1.6 Core Requirement #6 Maintenance and Operations The proposed storm drainage facilities will be a publicly maintained system. Maintenance and operation guidelines for the private roof drainage system are included in Section 10 of this report. 2.1.7 Core Requirement #7 Financial Guarantees and Liability City of Federal Way requirements for financial guarantees and liability will be met. 2.1.8 Core Requirement #8 Water Quality The city of Federal Way requires enhanced water quality treatment for storm water runoff. Exception 2 page 1-69 of the SWM allows the enhanced level to be reduced to basic level for runoff when runoff is infiltrated per the standards in Section 5.4. Runoff from most onsite areas will be conveyed to a storm filter water quality vault system provided by CONTECH Stormwater Solutions, Inc. From there it will be discharged to the proposed infiltration pond meeting the requirements for water quality and infiltration. A separate water quality system for the frontage improvements meeting the requirements for enhanced water quality facilities will be provided. There are two small basin areas within the frontage improvement area. The two treatment train requirement may be met by providing 2 storm filters in each of the 2 basin areas or possibly a storm filter -24- followed by infiltration. However, final selection of the treatment method to meet the requirements for the frontage area will be made during the final design process. Final design will incorporate the City of Federal Way requirements for water quality mitigation. 2.2 Special requirements #1. As previously mentioned, the site is within the City of Federal Way designated Lower Puget Sound drainage basin. #2. The site does not lie within a floodway or floodplain. #3. No flood protection facilities are proposed. Not applicable. #4. Not applicable since this project does not fall under the use criteria for requiring source controls. #5. The proposed use for this project does not fit the criteria for a high use site and therefore oil control is not applicable. 3.0 OFFSITE ANALYSIS Due to the city documenting an existing Type 2 downstream severe erosion problem in the area of the proposed project it is therefore necessary to perform a Level 2 downstream analysis. However, since the project proposes to utilize a retention pond to address flow control with essentially no stormwater release, the city will accept a Level 1 downstream analysis. In addition the retention in the onsite more than offsets flows from frontage road improvements which will bypass the pond. A majority of the storm drainage from the site naturally flows in a predominantly north - northwesterly direction. A majority of the storm drainage from the site is collected by an existing ditch located along the south side of SW Dash Point Road. Of the storm drainage that is collected by the existing ditch, approximately 5.70 acres of the site flows to an existing storm culvert centrally located along the sites northern boundary. The -25- existing storm culvert runs under SW Dash Point Road and outfalls on the north side. After discharging from the existing storm culvert, storm drainage continues to flow in a northerly direction for a short distance before flowing into a natural drainage corridor. Once collected by the natural drainage corridor, storm drainage flows in a northeasterly direction for approximately 1,300-ft. before flowing into an existing wetland contiguous with the Puget Sound shoreline within Dumas Bay Park. Storm drainage then works its way through the existing wetland before flowing into Puget Sound. Storm drainage produced from approximately 1.68 acres of the northeastern corner of the site is collected by the existing ditch located along the south side of SW Dash Point Road. Once collected by the existing ditch, storm drainage appears to flow approximately 1,000-ft. in a northeasterly direction beginning just east of the existing dirt road connected to SW Dash Point Road. At the end of the existing ditch, storm drainage flows into an existing storm drainage system that runs under SW Dash Point Road where it then outfalls on the north side of the road. From the outfall, storm drainage is discharged into an undefined drainage corridor which flows approximately in a northeasterly direction for approximately 500-ft. before flowing into the previously mentioned existing wetland located within Dumas Bay Park. Again, storm drainage then works its way through the existing wetland before flowing into Puget Sound. The storm drainage produced from approximately 1.63 acres of the southwestern portion of the site flows to the northwest where it is collected by the existing offsite wetland and drainage corridor. Once collected by the existing drainage corridor, storm drainage flows in a northeasterly direction for a short distance prior to flowing into an existing storm drainage system located near the northwest corner of the site. The existing storm drainage system runs under SW Dash Point Road in a northeasterly direction before outfalling into the existing drainage corridor on the northeast side of the intersection of SW Dash Point Road and -26- r -,1 44t'' Avenue SW. After discharging into the previously mentioned existing drainage corridor, storm drainage flows approximately 1,600-ft. before flowing into the existing wetland within Dumas Bay Park. The storm drainage then works its way through the existing wetland before flowing into Puget Sound. 4.0 FLOW CONTROL & WATER QUALITY FACILITY ANALYSIS AND DESIGN 4.1 Existing Site Hydrology (Part A) Storm runoff from a majority of the existing site naturally discharges in a predominantly north -northwesterly direction towards an existing ditch along the south side of SW Dash Point Road or an existing wetland located offsite and adjacent to the sites western boundary (See Figure 3 — Basin Exhibits). As a result two existing basins have been identified. The first is the existing basin (21.01 acres). The existing basin includes i approximately 13.62 acres of offsite area to the south and east of the existing site. The second is the existing wetland basin (3.42 acres) from which flows and volumes were established in order to maintain wetland hydrology under the developed conditions. The existing wetland basin includes approximately 1.79 acres of offsite area near the southwest corner of the existing site. Although the existing wetland is located entirely offsite near the proposed sites western boundary, the associated 100-ft. wetland buffer does extend into a majority of the western portion of the site. The project is within the City of Federal Way Lower Puget Sound designated drainage basin. There is no known drainage problems associated directly with the existing site. The SCS Soil Survey for King County has mapped several soil types within the boundary of the site (See Soil Exhibits — Figure 4). The overwhelmingly predominant soil type for the site is Indianola loamy fine sand (InC). The remaining three soil types consist of -27- Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AgC), Alderwood and Kitsap soils (AkF), and Ragnar- Indianola association (RdE). The site is vacant and currently forested with a mix of native second -growth conifer and deciduous trees with a dense understory of native shrubs. 4.2 Developed Site Hydrology (Part B) The proposed storm drainage system will collect runoff from a majority of the developed site and convey it to storm drainage facilities (stormfilter system / retention pond) centrally located along the sites northern boundary (See Conceptual Retention Pond Design — Sheet C4). The developed site consists of 3 separate developed basins. The developed basin conveying stormwater runoff to the stormfilter system / retention pond totals 1 approximately 20.88 acres. The developed basin includes approximately 13.62 acres of offsite area along a majority of the sites southern and eastern boundary. The second basin is the developed wetland / stream basin which totals approximately 1.76 acres. The developed wetland / stream basin consists of approximately 1.32 acres of offsite area near the southwest corner of the site. The remaining area is comprised of the required wetland buffer along the western boundary of the site and the back and side yards of Lots 7-9 and a portion of Lot 6. The developed wetland / stream basin also accounts for impervious surfaces related to back yard decks or patios located on Lots 7-9. The developed wetland / stream basin area and the flows and volumes produced from it approximately match the flows from the existing wetland / stream basin thus maintaining the wetland hydrology as well as possible. The third basin is the developed bypass basin which is comprised of area that will bypass the proposed stormfilter system / retention pond. This area is -28- comprised of existing and new asphalt pavement surfaces related to the required half street improvement to SW Dash Point Road. It also contains new cement concrete curb and gutter and cement concrete sidewalk along the south side of SW Dash Point Road. A small portion of the entrance road to the plat is also included in the developed bypass basin (See Figure 3 — Basin Exhibits). 4.3 Performance Standards (Part C) Conservation Flow Control is required for this project due to the potential erosion hazard on the downstream system and is being mitigated for by the construction of a retention pond downstream of a proposed stormfilter water quality treatment system provided by CONTECH Stormwater Solutions, Inc. 4.4 Flow Control System (Part D) Conservation Flow Control is required for this project and is being mitigated for by the construction of a retention pond. Retention pond sizing analyses are included in the stormwater calculations located in Appendix `A'. 4.5 Water Quality System (Part E) The enhanced treatment requirement is reduced to the basic treatment for discharge to infiltration system. Onsite Basic treatment is provided by the utilization of a stormfilter water quality system provided by CONTECH Stormwater Solutions, Inc. The stormfilter system will consist of a proposed precast stormfilter vault provided by CONTECH Stormwater Solutions, Inc. A separate water quality system for the frontage improvements meeting the requirements for enhanced water quality facilities will be provided. -29- Preliminary water quality sizing analyses are included in the stormwater calculations located in Appendix `A'. 5.0 CONVEYANCE SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN The overall site conveyance system serves greater than a 10 acre developed basin. The allowed methods of analysis therefore include the Rational Method and the King County Runoff Time Series (KCRTS) method. For this project, the KCRTS method will be utilized for analysis and design of the proposed stormwater conveyance system. Flushing velocity will be achieved in most of the storm main pipes. Some of the single runs from one or two side catch basins may not have full flushing velocity at site flows. 12-inch storm pipe is the minimum size used between catch basins for maintenance purposes. 6.0 SPECIAL REPORTS AND STUDIES Along with this preliminary storm drainage report (TIR) an environmental checklist will be submitted along with the preliminary plat submittal. Additionally, a Traffic Impact Analysis will be provided from Heath & Associates, Inc. dated April 2006. A Geotechnical Engineering Study and Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation will be provided by Earth Consultants, Inc. dated May 18, 2006. Lastly, a Wetland and Drainage Corridor Evaluation and Delineation Report will be provided by Habitat Technologies dated March 7, 2006. There are no other known special reports or studies. This drainage analysis and the future site construction documents will ultimately need to meet all the conditions of the project approval. -30- OTHER PERMITS The public sewer system will require permit approval from Lakehaven Utility District and the public water supply will require permit approval from Tacoma Water. Landscape plans, street light plans, and retaining wall design will all require approval as part of the engineering permit approval. An NPDES permit will be required from DOE. Additionally a permit from WSDOT will be required for the frontage improvements. No other known permits are required at this time. 8.0 TESC ANALYSIS AND DESIGN The erosion control plans require several erosion control measures and there are standard plan notes with additional requirements. Erosion control plans will be submitted during the formal engineering plan review. The following mitigation for sediment control is typical for projects of this nature but may change during the formal engineering plan review. An NPDES permit will be required for this project. Measures Taken to Control Sediment: A planned construction sequence designed to provide for construction of erosion control features. There shall be a designated ESC Supervisor who is to make daily site visits unless otherwise agreed upon with Public Works Department staff. Erosion control facilities shall be inspected weekly during the wet and dry season and after each runoff generating storm event during the wet season to check for sediment and to maintain proper functioning. The first construction activity shall be flagging the clearing limits to clearly delineate construction limits. -31- - Rock construction entrance to mitigate the introduction of sediment into off -site storm drainage facilities and adjacent public roadway facilities. When construction operations are such that debris from the work is deposited on the streets, the contractor shall, as a minimum, remove on a daily basis any deposits or debris, which may accumulate on the roadway surface. Should daily removal be insufficient to keep the pavement clean, the contractor shall perform removal operations on a more frequent basis. Pavement shall be swept prior to any street washing. Installation of siltation fence to reduce the possibility of sediment -laden water leaving the site and to control runoff velocities. Sediment shall be removed when it reaches one-third the height of the silt fence. Catch basin inserts to trap and to minimize any silt entering the existing and proposed drainage systems through catch basins. Sediment shall be removed when it reaches 12-inches in depth. 1 Construction of temporary interceptor swales to control runoff velocities and to collect and direct runoff to the temporary sediment pond. Rock check dams in the temporary swales to reduce runoff velocities and trap sediment. Sediment shall be removed when it reaches one-half the height of the dam. Partially construct permanent retention pond for use as the temporary sediment pond. The sides and bottom of the retention pond must only be rough excavated to a minimum of three feet above final grade. Excavation should be done with a backhoe working at "arms length" to minimize disturbance and compaction of the infiltration surface. Additionally, any required pretreatment facilities shall be fully constructed prior to any release of sediment -laden water to the facility. Construct temporary sediment pond riser and outlet pipe. Remove when site becomes further stabilized. Final grading of the infiltration facility shall occur only when all contributing drainage areas are fully stabilized. Outlet protection, riprap, to prevent erosion. -32- Centralized stockpile, wash down, construction staging and equipment maintenance and storage area to contain sediment. Timely stabilization of exposed soils per the erosion control notes to prevent erosion, (i.e. hydroseeding, straw/hay, plastic sheeting, etc.) In addition to these measures, construction activities shall conform to the erosion control notes contained in the construction plans. This includes erosion control seeding, mulching, and stockpiling methods as outlined on the plans. The creation of airborne dust during construction will also need to be controlled by the contractor. This can be accomplished through the use of watering trucks during construction. All of the features contained within the TESCP, if installed and periodically maintained, are expected to minimize the level of sediment -laden runoff entering any of the public road right-of-ways and adjacent properties. - 33 - 9.0 BOND QUANTITIES, FACILITY SUMMARIES & DECLARATION OF COVENANT 9.1 Bond Quantity Sheets Bond quantity sheets will be provided prior to engineering approval. -34- .. 9.2 Flow Control and Water Quality Facility Summary Sheet and Sketch Level 2 Flow Control and Basic Water Quality is required for this project. A stormfilter water quality system provided by CONTECH Stormwater Solutions Inc. will be utilized to address the water quality requirement. A retention pond downstream of the stormfilter water quality system will be constructed to address the flow control requirement. The project is within the City of Federal Way designated Lower Puget Sound drainage basin. Please reference the preliminary plat drawing for further preliminary design information. -35- J 9.3 Declaration of Covenant Covenant will be recorded prior to engineering plan approval. -36- 10.0 MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS MANUAL The storm drainage facilities for the proposed Soundview Manor project include an extensive conveyance system of catch basins, pipe, stormfilter water quality system, and a retention pond. Since the proposed storm drainage facilities will be public, maintenance will be the responsibility of the City of Federal Way. The proposed private roof drainage system will be the responsibility of the Soundview Manor Homeowner's Association. Maintenance checklists will be provided during the formal engineering plan review. -37- APPENDIX A Stormwater Calculations 'PA4-;,k-,4 �_Evicem> ZOO er" Nc- .. . ........

This preliminary flow has been determined for the whole area. The frontage area is actually two different flow areas with the westerly half discharging to the north, and the easterly half discharging to the east along the road. Water Quality design flow: WQ = 60% of developed 2-yr. peak flow rate. WQ = 600 (0.324) = 0.194 cfs The exact frontage road water quality facility will be provided during final engineering design and will meet requirement via storm cartridge filters or bioswale design. There may be a combination of the two. Storm cartridge option Required number of stormfilter cartridges (WQ flow)(449 gpm/15 gpm/cart) = number of cartridges (0.194 cfs)(449 gpm/cfs/15 gpm/cart) = 6 cartridges Or a bioswale analysis may show that at .least the east half can be treated in the road side ditch. A final design alternative meeting requriements will be provided along with detailed analysis during final engineering plan preparation. /� I(f ...`�'�-ttr�►-tvY.f^�Ps+t-!.��6�/w�r�.R�-t�6e•s.rd�.....--._.-....._...,.. _._..� �.-.__ ...._. �oCZ-_• VyIA(a:"�'A•(N CFSG� ���-�t-+oCt� .�"c��i'c.X`���'lti-EC.� •w£"Fv1�rlO�I �T�'ai�+�'� ....,...... 1�oESOO W. .�w ��.._......�...��_. ovr.��.SN_..rrar�t��-r._..Y._�.�±4 O -ray..-..,- _._ o vrw P�Sei G-�tzP��as = 1 `1, 900 V!-T - 0 . 41 .a � ..-...._.- � ....,.. _.._ 0.013 PC, �._�...._........... .-•..� •��a.�rs�cr i..oC.AT cos-1 � 2P � �I•S=A�tr -Of btl ot-3 � �✓�A Y'T4�G �`��.....,._.._........-...._..._.,.-.... iLf.RTS - -.

(ECI) for the proposed Soundview Manor residential development located at Southwest 314th Street and Southwest Dash Point Road in Federal Way, Washington. The general location of the site is shown on the "Vicinity Map," Plate 1. Project Description We understand it is planned to develop the approximately 9.2-acre, irregularly shaped property with a new residential development. Based on preliminary design information provided by C.E.S. NW, Inc., the proposed site development will include up to 28 single-family residence lots. The residence lots will be accessed by a new, northeast —southwest -trending, paved extension of Southwest 314th Street extending across the site from the west end of Southwest 314th Street to the southwestern portion of the site, and a southeast —northwest - trending, paved street extending from Southwest Dash Point Road in the north -central portion of the site to a cul-de-sac in the southeastern portion of the site. We understand it is planned to infiltrate runoff from the proposed development using a stormwater control pond to be located in the north -central portion of the site. The northwest -sloping site contains a series of northwest -trending drainages. Based on our current understanding of the project, fill is to be placed in the drainage areas, and anticipated cuts and fills of up to 20 feet may be needed to reach construction elevations. A wetland area is located west of the site. A 100-foot wetland buffer has been established adjacent to the wetland area that extends approximately 50 to 75 feet into the western portion of the site. The wetland buffer is to remain undeveloped. At the time our study was performed, the property, proposed lots, proposed stormwater facility, and our exploratory locations were approximately as shown on the "Test Pit Location Plan," Plate 2. The conclusions and recommendations in this study are based on our understanding of the proposed development, which is in turn based on the project information provided us. If the above project description is incorrect, or the project information changes, we should be consulted to review the recommendations contained in this study and make modifications, if needed.

Scope of Services The purpose of this study was to explore the subsurface conditions at the site and, based on the conditions encountered, to provide recommendations for developing the site with a residential development. We prepared this study in general accordance with the scope of services outlined in our October 25, 2005, proposal. On this basis, our study addresses the following: • Subsurface soil and groundwater conditions • Suitability of existing on -site materials for use as fill and recommendations for importing fill materials Seismic hazard analyses, including an evaluation of potential liquefaction hazard • Site preparation, grading, and earthwork procedures, including details of fill placement and compaction • Short-term and long-term groundwater management and erosion control measures • Foundation design recommendations, including bearing capacity and lateral pressures • Estimates of potential total and differential settlement magnitudes • Infiltration tests and textural sieve analysis to assess the feasibility of infiltrating stormwater runoff • Preliminary stability assessment SITE CONDITIONS Surface The subject site consists of an approximately 9.2-acre, irregularly shaped property located in the 4300 block of Southwest Dash Point Road in the. City of Federal Way, Washington, as shown on Plate 1. The site is bordered to the east by existing single-family residence lots, to the west by single-family residence lots and undeveloped property, to the south by - undeveloped property, and to the north by Southwest Dash Point Road. The site is generally comprised of a northwest -facing slope, which descends approximately 95 feet from the southern to northern property line over a horizontal distance of approximately 600 feet. The slope surface has been cut by several northwest -trending drainages. The site slopes generally northwest at gradients typically in the range of 10 to 20 percent. The slopes bordering the drainages descend to drainage centerlines at gradients generally in the range of 20 to 30 percent. A large drainage extends from the southeast site comer to the north -central portion of the site. The slopes bordering the drainage range from approximately 10 to 25 feet in height, descending to the drainage centerline at gradients in the range of 30 to 50 percent. An overgrown dirt road occupies the centerline of the large drainage. Earth Consultants, Inc.

The site is moderately to heavily vegetated with medium- to large -diameter pine and deciduous trees, with an undergrowth offems and mixed brush. Subsurface Subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated by excavating 11 test pits at the approximate locations shown on Plate 2. The test pits were excavated to a maximum depth of 18.5 feet below existing grade. Our test pit logs are included as Plates A2 through Al 2. Please refer to the test pit logs for a detailed description of the subsurface conditions encountered at each test pit location. A description of the field exploration methods is included in Appendix A. The fallowing is a generalized description of the subsurface conditions encountered. At each of our test pit locations, a surficial layer of topsoil and forest duff was encountered. The topsoil was typically 3 to 8 inches thick, with localized areas that were up to 10 inches thick. The topsoil was characterized by its dark brown to black color and organic content. Underlying the topsoil at two of our test pit locations (Test Pits TP-6 and TP-9), glacial till comprised of silty sand (Unified Soil Classification SM) and poorly graded sand with silt (SP- SM) was encountered. The glacial till was medium dense and extended to depths of 1 to 2 feet j below existing grade. Underlying the topsoil at 9 of our test pit locations, loose surficial soil comprised of silty sand with gravel (SM) was encountered. The loose surficial soils extended to depths ranging from 1.5 to 5 feet below existing grade. Underlying the glacial till and surficial soils at depths of 1 to 5 feet below grade, outwash deposits comprised of silty sand with varying amounts of gravel (SM), poorly graded sand with silt and varying amounts of gravel (SP-SM), and poorly graded sand (SP) with localized beds of sandy silt (ML) were encountered. The outwash deposits were generally loose to medium dense when encountered, becoming medium dense to dense with depth. The outwash soils extended to the maximum depth explored at each test pit location. Groundwater Groundwater was not encountered during our subsurface exploration. However, iron oxide staining and areas of increased moisture were encountered at all of our test pit locations at varying depths. The iron oxide staining and increased soil moisture appear to be indicative of seasonal perched groundwater collecting above less -permeable beds and lenses within the outwash deposits. Based on the depth of anticipated cuts and on observed site conditions, groundwater seepage may be encountered in site excavations. The contractor should be aware that groundwater levels are not static. There will likely be fluctuations in the groundwater level and seepage rate, depending on the season, amount of rainfall, surface water runoff, and other factors. Generally, the water level is higher and seepage rates are greater in the wetter, winter months (typically October through May). Earth Consultants, Inc. Page 3 A Bureau Veritas Company Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. -- Laboratory Testing Laboratory tests were conducted on representative sail samples to verify or modify the field soil classifications and to evaluate the general physical properties and engineering characteristics of the soil encountered. Visual field classifications were supplemented by grain -size analyses on representative soil samples. Moisture content tests were performed on all samples. The results of laboratory tests performed on specific samples are provided either at the appropriate sample depth on the individual test pit logs or on a separate data sheet contained in Appendix B. It is important to note that these test results may not accurately represent the overall in -situ soil conditions. Our geotechnical engineering recommendations are based on our interpretation of these test results. ECl cannot be responsible for the interpretation of these data by others. CRITICAL AREA CONSIDERATIONS As part of our study, the potential geologic hazards within the subject site as defined in the Federal Way Municipal Code (FMC), Chapter 18-28, were addressed. Based on our review, the site meets the criteria of an erosion hazard area and a steep slope hazard area as defined in the FMC. Erosion Hazard Areas Review of the 1973 USDA Soil Conservation Service (SCS) maps for King County indicates the soils underlying most of the property consist of Indianola loamy fine sand, 4 to 15 percent slopes. Indianola soils with 4 to 15 percent slopes are characterized by rapid permeability, slow to medium runoff, and a slight to moderate erosion hazard. The northeastern comer of the property is mapped as Alderwood and Kitsap soils, very steep. Alderwood and Kitsap soils are characterized by rapid to very rapid runoff, a severe slippage potential, and a severe to very severe erosion hazard. Alderwood and Kitsap soils meet the criteria of an erosion hazard area as defined in the FMC, Chapter 18-28.1. ' Erosion in the proposed development area will need to be controlled using best management practices. The test pits indicate the soils that should be encountered during construction will primarily consist of fine-grained silty sand, poorly graded sand, and poorly graded sand with silt. These soils may be susceptible to erosion due to sheet flow. Earth Consultants, Inc. Page 4 A Bureau Veritas Company Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. The erosion control plan should include measures for reducing concentrated surface runoff - and protecting disturbed or exposed surfaces by mulching and revegetation. The temporary erosion and sedimentation control plan should include the following: Where practical, maintain vegetation buffers around cleared areas. • Cover exposed soil stockpiles. • Hydroseed or place straw mulch in areas where grading is completed. • Divert water away from the top of slopes. • Use silt fences and straw bales around the lower portions of the site perimeter. Coordinate clearing, excavation and erosion control to reduce exposed areas. The erosion control measures should be reviewed on a regular basis by a representative of ECI to verify they are functioning as intended. Steep Slope Hazard Areas A large drainage extends from the southeast site corner to the north -central portion of the site. The slopes bordering the drainage range from approximately 10 to 25 feet in height, descending to the drainage centerline at gradients in the range of 30 to 50 percent. Slopes containing gradients of 40 percent or greater meet the criteria of a steep slope hazard area as defined in the FMC, Chapter 18-28.4. Preliminary grading plans were not available at the time of our study. However, based on our current understanding of the project, the steep slopes adjacent to the drainages are to be graded to reach lot and roadway construction elevations. If steep slopes are to remain, ECI should be notified to evaluate stability of the slopes and provide construction setback recommendations. DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS General Based on the results of our study, in our opinion, development of the site with single-family residences is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint. Conventional spread and continuous footing foundation systems bearing on competent native soil or newly placed structural fill may be used for support of the residences. Slab--on-grade floors may be similarly supported. If loose native soil is encountered at construction foundation and slab subgrade elevations, it should be either compacted to the requirements of structural fill, or it should be overexcavated and replaced with structural fill.

NW, Inc. This report has been prepared for specific application to this project only and in a manner - consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area. This report is for the exclusive use of Westbrook Investments, LLC and their representatives. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made. This report, in its entirety, should be included in the project contract documents for the information of the contractor. Site Preparation and General Earthwork Based on our understanding of the proposed development plan, site earthwork will likely consist of installing erosion control measures; stripping the site; cutting and filling the site to provide building pad and street grades; installing underground utilities; preparing curb, gutter, sidewalk, and roadway subgrades; constructing the stormwater facility; and constructing single-family residences on the lots. Erosion Control and Stripping Prior to removal of the vegetation, the clearing limits should be flagged and silt fence should be installed downslope of proposed grading areas. We recommend that, once the site clearing limits are flagged, ECI be contacted to walk the site with the grading contractor in order to provide additional geotechnical and erosion control recommendations. After the site is logged and grubbed, the proposed grading areas should be stripped and cleared of surface vegetation, organic matter, and other deleterious material. Existing utility _ pipes to be abandoned should be plugged or removed so they do not provide a conduit for t water and cause soil saturation and instability problems. The sod and topsoil encountered in our test pits was generally on the order of 3 to 10 inches thick. The sod and topsoil should be stripped and removed from the site, or may be stockpiled on site to be used in landscaping areas. The stripped materials should not be mixed with materials to be used as structural fill. During construction, the site must be graded such that surface water is collected and tightlined to an appropriate drainage facility. Water must not be allowed to stand in fill areas or where buildings, slabs, or pavements are to be constructed. Loose soil surfaces should be sealed by compacting the surface to reduce the potential for moisture infiltration. Temporm Slope - The following information is provided solely as a service to our client. Under no circumstances should this information be interpreted to mean that ECI is assuming responsibility for construction site safety or the contractor's activities; such responsibility is not being implied and should not be inferred. i Earth Consultants, Inc. Page 6 A Bureau Veritas Company Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. In no case should excavation slopes be greater than the limits specified in local, state (WISHA), and federal (OSHA) safety regulations. Based on the information obtained from our field exploration and laboratory testing, the loose surficial soils, medium dense weathered glacial till, and medium dense to dense outwash soils encountered in our test pit excavations would be classified as Type C by WISHA/OSHA. Temporary cuts greater than 4 feet in height in Type C soils may be sloped to a maximum inclination of 1.5H:1V (Horizontal:Vertical). If slopes of this inclination or flatter cannot be constructed, temporary shoring may be necessary. Structural Fill Structural fill is defined as compacted fill placed under buildings, roadways, floor slabs, pavements, or other load -bearing areas. Structural fill should be placed in horizontal lifts not exceeding 12 inches in loose thickness and compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of its laboratory maximum dry density determined in accordance with ASTM Test Designation D- 1557 (Modified Proctor). The fill materials should be placed at or near their optimum moisture content. Based on the results of our laboratory tests, the on -site soils at the time of our exploration appear to be near their optimum moisture content and should be suitable for use as structural fill. Laboratory testing indicates the native site soils have from 1 to 3 percent fines passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve. Soil with fines in excess of 5 percent will degrade if exposed to excessive moisture, and compaction, and grading will be difficult if the soil moisture increases above its optimum condition. If the site soils are exposed to excessive moisture or cannot be adequately compacted, it may be necessary to import a soil that can be compacted. During dry weather, any non -organic, compactable soil with a maximum grain size of 4 inches can be used. Fill for use during wet weather should consist of a fairly well -graded, granular material having a maximum grain size of 4 inches and no more than 5 percent fines passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve based on the minus 3/4-inch fraction. Slo a Fill Placement In our opinion, the placement of fill on a sloping grade is acceptable; however, where slope gradients exceed 20 percent, the fill must be keyed and benched into the slope. This process consists of excavating a keyway at the toe of the planned fill. The keyway should have a width of about 6 to 8 feet and a depth of at least 2 feet into competent native soil. The slope above the keyway should then be cut into a series of horizontal to slightly 1 inward -sloping benches. Typically, the benches are excavated with a small bulldozer as the fill is brought up. The width of the benches will vary with the gradient of the slope, usually the gentler the slope, the wider the benches. Earth Consultants, Inc. Page 7 A Bureau Veritas Company Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. 'Typical Slope Fill Placement," Plate 3, shows a schematic diagram of the keyway and benches. Permanent Slopes Permanent cut and fill slopes should be inclined no steeper than 2H:1V. Cut slopes should be observed by ECI during excavation to verify that conditions are as anticipated. Fill slope construction should also be observed under the full-time observation of an ECI representative to test structural fill soils. Supplementary recommendations can be developed, if needed, to improve stability, including flattening of slopes, placing erosion control fabrics, or installing surface or subsurface drains. Permanently exposed slopes should be hydroseeded with an appropriate species of vegetation to reduce erosion. Foundations Based on the results of our study and provided our recommendations are followed, in our opinion, the proposed residences may be supported on conventional spread and continuous footing foundation systems bearing on competent native soil or granular structural fill. If loose native soil is encountered at footing subgrade elevations, it should either be compacted in place to the requirements of structural fill, overexcavated and replaced with structural fill, or the footings should be extended to the underlying competent soil. Exterior foundation elements should be placed at a minimum depth of 18 inches below final exterior grade. Interior spread foundations should be placed at a minimum depth of 12 inches below the top of slam, except in unheated areas where interior foundation elements should be founded at a minimum depth of 18 inches. Interior foundations in crawl space areas may be supported on competent soils exposed on the surface of the crawl space. With foundation support obtained as described, for design, an allowable soil bearing capacity of 2000 pounds per square foot (psf) should be used for the competent native soil or structural fill. Loading of this magnitude would be provided with a theoretical factor -of - safety in excess of 3.0 against shear failure. For short-term dynamic loading conditions, a 113 increase in the above allowable bearing capacity may be used. Continuous and - individual spread footings should have minimum widths in accordance with local building codes. With structural loading as expected and provided the above design criteria are followed, total settlement of approximately 1 inch is anticipated, with differential settlement of approximately 1/2 inch. Most of the anticipated settlements should occur during construction as dead loads are applied. Earth Consultants, Inc. Page S A Bureau Veritas Company Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. Horizontal loads can be resisted by friction between the base of the foundation and the supporting soil and by passive soil pressure acting on the face of the buried portion of the foundation. For the latter, the foundation must be poured "neat' against the competent native soils or backfilled with structural fill. For frictional capacity, a coefficient of 0.30 should be used. For passive earth pressure, the available resistance should be computed using an equivalent fluid pressure of 300 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). These lateral resistance values are allowable values, and a factor -of -safety of 1.5 has been included. As movement of the foundation element is required to mobilize full passive resistance, the passive resistance should be neglected if such movement is not acceptable. Footing excavations should be observed by a representative of ECI prior to placing forms or rebar to verify that conditions are as anticipated in this report. Slab -on -Grade Floors Slab -on -grade floors should be supported on competent native. soil or granular structural fill. Disturbed subgrade soil must either be recompacted or replaced with structural fill. Slabs placed on structural fill or on native soils should b Retaining Walls e Retaining walls should be designed to resist lateral earth pressures from the retained soils, and any surcharge loading. For walls designed to yield a minimum of 0.002 times the height of the wall, lateral earth pressures should be calculated using an equivalent fluid with a unit weight of 35 pcf. For non -yielding walls, the equivalent fluid pressure should be increased to 50 pcf. The above lateral earth pressure values assume free -draining, horizontal backfill conditions. The above lateral earth pressures assume no surcharges due to traffic, adjacent foundation, construction loads, or other loading. If surcharges are to apply, they should be added to the above design lateral pressures. A 2-foot soil surcharge should be used to account for traffic surcharges, where applicable. To reduce the potential for hydrostatic forces building up behind walls, the use of free -draining backfill or a sheet drain combined with a perforated drainpipe can be considered. The free - draining backfill should consist of pea gravel or washed rock with a fines content of less than 5 percent based on the minus 314-inch fraction. The free -draining material should extend at least 18 inches behind the walls. A rigid, 4-inch-diameter, schedule 40, perforated PVC or SDR 35 drainpipe should be placed at the base of the walls, and should be surrounded by a minimum of 1 cubic foot per lineal foot with pea gravel or washed rock. The pipe should be Earth Consultants, Inc. Page 9 A Bureau Veritas Company Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. placed with the perforations facing down. The remainder of the backfill should consist of structural fill. Where drainage behind the walls cannot be achieved, the walls should be designed for hydrostatic pressures. Seismic Design Considerations Earthquakes occur in the Puget Lowland with regularity; however, the majority of these events are of such low magnitude they are not felt without instruments. Large earthquakes do occur, as indicated by the 1949, 7.2 magnitude earthquake in the Olympia area; the 1965, 6.5 magnitude earthquake in the Midway area; and the 2001, 6.8 magnitude earthquake in the Nisqually area. There are three potential geologic hazards associated with a strong motion seismic event at this site: ground rupture, liquefaction, and ground motion response. Ground Rupture The strongest earthquakes in the Puget Lowland are widespread, subcrustal events, ranging in depth from 30 to 55 miles. Surface faulting from these deep events has not been documented to date. Therefore, it is our Opinion that the risk of ground rupture at this site during a strong motion seismic event is negligible. Liquefaction Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which soils lose all shear strength for short periods of time during an earthquake. Groundshaking of sufficient duration results in the loss of grain -to - grain contact and rapid increase in pore water pressure, causing the soil to behave as a fluid. To have a potential for liquefaction, a soil must be cohesionless with a grain -size distribution of a specified range (generally sand and silt), it must be loose, it must be below the groundwater table, and it must be subject to sufficient magnitude and duration of groundshaking. The effects of liquefaction may be large total andfor differential settlement for structures founded in the liquefying soils. In our opinion, the potential for liquefaction of the soils encountered at this site should be low to negligible. This conclusion is based on the absence of a shallow groundwater table and the generally increasing soil density with depth. Ground Motion Response The 2003 International Building Code (IBC) regulations contain a static force procedure and a dynamic force procedure for design -base shear calculations. Based on the encountered soil conditions, it is our opinion Site Class C, 'Very Dense Soil and Soft Rock,' as defined in Table 1615.1.1 of the IBC, should be used to characterize the site soils.

Site Drainage Groundwater was not encountered during our subsurface exploration. However, iron oxide staining and areas of increased moisture were encountered at all of our test pit locations at - varying depths. The iron oxide staining and increased soil moisture appear to be indicative of seasonal perched groundwater collecting above less -permeable beds and lenses within the outwash deposits. If seepage is encountered, the bottom of the excavation should be sloped to one or more shallow sump pits. The collected water can then be pumped from these pits to a positive and permanent discharge, such as a nearby storm drain. Depending on the magnitude of such seepage, it may also be necessary to connect the sump pits by a system of connector trenches. Final site grades must allow for drainage away from the residence foundation. The ground should be sloped at a gradient of 3 percent for a distance of at least 10 feet away from the residences. Footing drains should be installed around the perimeter of the residences, at or just below the invert of the footing, with a gradient sufficient to initiate flow, as shown on the `Typical Footing Subdrain Detail," Plate 4. Under no circumstances should roof downspout drain lines be connected to the footing drain system. Roof downspouts must be separately tightlined to discharge. Cleanouts should be installed at strategic locations to allow for periodic maintenance of the footing drain and downspout tightline systems. PRELIMINARY INFILTRATION EVALUATION We understand that if feasible, it is planned to dispose of stormwater from the proposed development using a stormwater facility comprised of an infiltration pond. As part of our study, we conducted a preliminary infiltration evaluation to determine the feasibility of infiltrating stormwater in the vicinity of the stormwater facility area as shown on the preliminary site plan provided. Our infiltration evaluation consisted of the following: • Excavating three test pits (Test Pits TP-1 through TP-3) in the vicinity of the proposed stormwater facility area in the north -central portion of the site (The test pits were excavated to a maximum depth of 18.5 feet below grade in these areas.) f Conducting textural analyses of representative soils collected at the proposed - stormwater facility area • Interpreting the field data and laboratory analyses to further assess the feasibility of infiltrating stormwater Earth Consultants, Inc. Page 11 A Bureau Veritas Company Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. Textural Analyses Representative soil samples were collected from Test Pits TP-1 through TP-3 at depths ranging from 1 to 18 feet below existing grade. Grain -size analyses were conducted on several samples to determine textural classification. The soils were classified according to the USDA SCS classification method. The classifications were determined by measuring the percent fines passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve based on the percent passing the U.S. No. 10 sieve. Based on subsurface conditions encountered and on our textural analyses of representative soils collected at the test pit locations, the proposed stormwater facility area in the north -central portion of the site is underlain by a 1.5- to 3.5-foot-thick layer of loose loamy sand over loose to medium dense fine sand and coarse sand to the maximum depth explored at each location. Please refer to Appendix C to review Test Pits TP-1 through TP-3, which contain soil descriptions based on USDA classifications. Indications of a seasonal high groundwater table were not encountered at our exploratory locations. However, increased moisture was encountered at a depth of 16 feet at Test Pit TP-1, which may be indicative of localized seasonal perched groundwater or a seasonal high groundwater table. Infiltration Testing The feasibility of infiltrating stormwater was further assessed by conducting field infiltration tests. The infiltration tests were conducted in general accordance with the EPA falling Head Percolation Test procedures at depths ranging from 10 to 11 feet below existing grade. The following tables summarize the results of our tests: Infiltration Test Results Test Pit Location Infiltration Test Depth feet USDA Soil Classification USCS Soil Classification Infiltration Rate in/hr TP-1 11 Coarse Sand SP 491 TP-2 11 Coarse Sand SP 595 TP-3 10 Fine Sand SP 90 The observed infiltration rates range from 90 inches per hour in Test Pit TP-3 to 595 inches per hour in Test Pit TP-2. Earth Consultants, Inc. Page 12 A Bureau Veritas Company Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. - Discussion and Recommendations Based on observed soil conditions and laboratory tests, it is our opinion that infiltration of -- stormwater should be feasible in the coarse sand and fine sand encountered at depths of 3.5 to 18.5 feet below existing grade at the proposed stormwater facility area in the north - central portion of the site. However, increased soil moisture was encountered at a depth of 16 feet below existing grade at Test Pit TP-1. The increased soil moisture may be indicative of localized seasonal perched groundwater or a seasonal high groundwater table. In accordance with the King County, Washington Surface Wafer Design Manual, a minimum of 3 feet of separation must be maintained between the bottom of the infiltration pond and the seasonal high groundwater table. As such, the infiltration pond should be designed with an infiltration elevation no greater than 13 feet below existing grade, or an approximate elevation of 132 feet, in the proposed stormwater facility area. The infiltration capability of the soils throughout the proposed infiltration area may vary both horizontally and laterally. Due to this variability, a representative from ECI should observe the infiltration area during excavation to verify the soils encountered at the pond bottom elevation are as anticipated. LIMITATIONS Our recommendations and conclusions are based on the site materials observed, selective laboratory testing and engineering analyses, the design information provided us, and our _ experience and engineering judgment. The conclusions and recommendations are professional opinions derived in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area. No warranty is expressed or implied. The recommendations submitted in this report are based on the data obtained from the test pits. Soil and groundwater conditions between test pits may vary from those encountered. The nature and extent of variations between our exploratory locations may not became evident until construction. If variations do appear, ECI should be requested to reevaluate the recommendations of this report and to modify or verify them in writing prior to proceeding with the construction.

ELW DATE 2/8/06 PLATE 4 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT More construction problems are caused by site subsur- face conditions than any other factor. As troublesome as subsurface problems can be, their frequency and extent have been lessened considerably in recent years, due in large measure to programs and publications of ASFE/ The Association of Engineering Firms Practicing in the Geosciences. The following suggestions and observations are offered to help yowreduce the geotechnical-related delays, cost -overruns and other costly headaches that can occur during a construction project. A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT IS BASED ON A UNIQUE SET OF PROJECT -SPECIFIC FACTORS A geotechnical engineering report is based on a subsur- face exploration plan designed to incorporate a unique set of project -specific factors: These typically include: the general nature of the structure involved, its size and configuration; the location of the structure on the site and its orientation; physical concomitants such as access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities, and the level of additional risk which the client assumed by virtue of limitations imposed upon the exploratory program. To help avoid costly problems, consult the geotechnical engineer to determine how any factors which change subsequent to the date of the report may affect its recommendations. Unless your consulting geotechnical engineer indicates otherwise, your geotechnical engineering report should not be used: • When the nature of the proposed structure is changed, for example, if an office building will be erected instead of a parking garage, or if a refriger- ated warehouse will be built instead of an unre- frigerated one; • when the size or configuration of the proposed structure is altered; • when the location or orientation of the proposed structure is modified; • when there is a change of ownership, or • for application to an adjacent site. Geotechnical engineers cannot accept responsibility for problems which may develop if they are not consulted after factors consid- ered in their report's development have changed. MOST GEOTECHNICAL "FINDINGS" ARE PROFESSIONAL ESTIMATES Site exploration identifies actual subsurface conditions only at those points where samples are taken, when they are taken. Data derived through sampling and sub- sequent laboratory testing are extrapolated by geo- technical engineers who then render an opinion about overall subsurface conditions, -their likely reaction to proposed construction activity, and appropriate founda- tion design. Even under optimal circumstances actual conditions may differ from those inferred to exist, because no geotechnical engineer, no matter how qualified, and no subsurface exploration program, no matter how comprehensive, can reveal what is hidden by earth, rode and time. The actual interface between mate- rials may be far more gradual or abrupt than a report indicates. Actual conditions in areas not sampled may differ from predictions. Nothing tan be done to prevent the unanticipated, but steps can be taken to help minimize their impact. For this reason, most experienced owners retain their geotechnical consultants through the construction* stage, to iden- tify variances, conduct additional tests which may be needed, and to recommend solutions to problems encountered on site. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE Subsurface conditions may be modified by constantly - changing natural forces. Because a geotechnical engi- neering report is based on conditions which existed at the time of subsurface exploration, construction decisions should not be based on a geotechnical engineering report whose adequacy may have been affecled by time. Speak with the geo- technical consultant to Iearn if additional tests are advisable before construction starts. Construction operations at or adjacent to the site and natural events such as floods, earthquakes or ground- water fluctuations may also affect subsurface conditions and, thus, the continuing adequacy of a geotechnical report. The geotechnical engineer should be kept apprised of any such events, and should be consulted to determine if additional tests are necessary. GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES ARE PERFORMED FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES AND PERSONS Geotechnical engineers' reports are prepared to meet the specific needs of specific individuals. A report pre- pared for a consulting civil engineer may not be ade- quate for a construction contractor, or even some other consulting civil engineer. Unless indicated otherwise, this report was prepared expressly for the client involved and expressly for purposes indicated by the client. Use by any other persons for any purpose, or by the client fora different purpose, may result in problems. No indi- vidual other than the client should apply this report for its intended purpose without first conferring with the geotechnical engineer. No person should apply this report for any purpose other than that originally contemplated without first conferring with the geotechnical engineer. APPENDIX A FIELD EXPLORATION E-12164 Our field exploration was performed on November 4, 2005. Subsurface conditions at the site were explored by excavating 11 test pits to a maximum depth of 18.5 feet below existing grade. The test pits were excavated by Aikin's Excavating using a Hitachi EX120 tracked excavator. The approximate test pit locations and elevations were determined by pacing from site features depicted on a site plan provided by C.E.S. NW, Inc. The locations and elevations of the test pits should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method used. These approximate locations are shown on Plate 2. The field exploration was continuously monitored by a geologist from our firm, who classed the soils encountered, maintained a log of each test pit, obtained representative samples, and observed pertinent site features. All samples were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System that is presented on the "Legend," Plate Al. Logs of the test pits are presented on Plates A2 through Al2. The final logs represent our interpretations of the field logs and the results of the laboratory tests on field samples. The stratification lines on the logs represent the approximate boundaries between soil types. In actuality, the transitions may be more gradual. Representative soil samples were collected and returned to our laboratory for further examination and testing.

(KCSWDM 5AA) To address the general requirements for infiltration facilities as described in the KingCounty, Washington Surface Water Design Manual (KCSW .DM), two borings were drilled Within the proposed infiltration ;pond location at the approximate locations shown ,.on the "Boring Location Plan," Plate 1. Each .boring was drilled to .a depth of 31.5 feet below :existing :grade. Boring BA was drilled to an approximate -elevation of 116.5 feet and B-2 was drilled to :an approximate elevation :of 109.5 feet. At each boring location, loose .to medium dense silty sand (Unified Soil -Glassifcation SM) was encountered to a depth.of 7:5 :to 10 feet below grade. The silty sand was underlain by :outwash deposits :comprised :of poorly :graded sand::vvith silt :(:SP-SM) :and poorly graded sand (:SP) to the maximurn exploration depth at each boring location..

Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. kid [il NJ &L] a Serving the Pacific .Northwest Since 1981 November 4, 2011 Project No. KEI 10420A Westbrook Investments, LLC 437 29" Street N.E., Suite G Puyallup, WA 98372 Attention: Mr. Jerry Mahan Subject: Geotechnical Engineering Review Soundview Manor Federal Way, Washington The project site consists of 21 lots in an undeveloped parcel of land located near the intersection of SW -Dash Point Road and 44=" Avenue SW in Federal Way, Washington. The site is currently undeveloped with second cut forest at this time: The area is surrounded by residential construction. There was a previous geotechnical report performed on the project dated May 18, 2006 titled Geotechnical Engineering Study and Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation Soundview Manor Residential Development, prepared by Earth Consultants. This firm is no longer in business and AESI has been asked'to review and comment on the applicability of the original study in regards to the review comments from the city of Federal Way. We have been provided a grading plan and the geotechnical report for review. Report Review We were provided with the original geotechnical report prepared by Earth Consultants, dated May 18, 2006, titled Geotechnical Engineering Study and Preliminary Infltration Evaluaiion. Soundview Manor Residential Development. The report included exploration pit logs for 10 exploration pits. The pits were dispersed around the site as noted on the site and exploration plan. The logs indicate that the site is underlain by loose to medium dense, moist, poorly graded sands. However there also appears to be some dense to very dense glacial till near the surface at the south end of the site. Based upon review of the geologic maps of the area the soils found during the explorations appear to be consistent with that delineated on the geologic maps. The report provides geotechnical recommendations for site design, temporary and permanent grading, infiltration, structural fill placement, and parameters for foundations and retaining walls. These recommendations were based upon a grading plan that was not finalized at the time of the report. However the understanding was that the site would be mass graded to allow for the placement of homes and a roadway that met the city standards for grade. The report further recommended that once a site plan was developed and steep slopes were to remain the Kirkland ■ Everett Tacoma 425-827-7701 425-259-0522 253-722-2992 www.aesgeo.com geoteclnical engineer should review the plan to evaluate the stability of the slopes and provide recommendations for construction setbacks. In general we agree with the recommendations provided in the previous geotechnical report. Recommendations We understand that a final grading plan has been prepared for review by a geotechnical engineer. There is a comment letter from the City of Federal Way dated November 9, 2010 with the following comments that we have addressed based upon our review of the geotechnical report and the grading plan dated September 29, 2010. FWRC 19.160 Geologically Hazardous Areas A report must be provided that evaluates the stability of the proposed grading and provide construction setbacks based upon the plans including specifications for slopes over 6 feet in height. The report shall also include recommended methods for mitigating identified impacts, and a description of how these mitigating measures may impact adjacent properties. The grading plan provided includes grades that do not exceed 2H: IV as recommended in the geotechnical report. Based upon the soils conditions encountered it is our opinion that these slopes can be constructed to the heights shown on the plan with no impact to adjacent properties. We further recommend that structures maintain a 15 foot toe of slope setback from cut slopes and 25 feet from the top of fill slopes. The toe of slope setback on lots 11, 12, and 13 may be difficult to maintain in the current configuration if the house is placed on the level area of the lot. However, extended foundations or fill could be placed against a rear foundation wall to create a level area, thus providing an appropriate building setback from the toe of slope. At this time there are no retaining walls shown on the grading plan. However, there is a possibility that short retaining walls with a maximum height of 6 feet could be used for grade separation between the side yards of the lots. It is our opinion that walls could be designed to accommodate this condition if needed. Federal Way Comprehensive Plan NEP 54 Land uses on steep slopes should be designed to prevent property damage and environmental degradation, and enhance open space and wildlife habitat. The site plan has been prepared in order to provide roads that do not exceed the maximum gradients of the city code. The resulting lot configuration and elevations have been established based upon these grades in a manner that minimizes cut and fills beyond which is necessary to provide a conventional building pad. The remaining easterly and westerly perimeter area has been left to open space tracts. 2 NEP 55 As slope increases development intensity, site coverage and vegetation removal should decrease and thereby minimize drainage problems, soil erosion, siltation, and lands slides. Slopes of 40 percent or more should be retained in a natural state, free from structures and other land surface modifications. Based upon review of the site plan there are no retaining structures proposed. The slopes have all been graded to 2H: IV in order to retain the upper slopes in a natural state. There are also fill slopes on the western edge of the developed area. These fill slopes will be constructed in a controlled manner by benching into the native soils as recommended in the geotechnical report NEP 56 — Landslide hazard areas should be free of development, unless the risks and adverse impacts associated ivith such development can be reduced to a negligible level, It is our opinion that the lots have been graded as to minimize the impacts to the critical areas for reasonable use. The grading that will be performed will establish slopes that have a permanent inclination of no greater than 2H: IV, which is the maximum grade that is reasonable for the soil conditions found on site as recommended in the previous geotechnical report. By doing this it is our opinion that with slopes of this inclination under the conditions described in the geotechnical report the risks can be reduced to a negligible level. Revised Seismic Design Criteria The original report also provides design criteria based upon the 2003 IBC. It is our understanding that the City of Federal Way has since adopted the 2009 IBC. Therefore, the guidelines presented in the 2009 International Building Code (IBC) Section 1613 should be used in the seismic design of the project. Earthquake Ground Motions Parameters software version 5.0.9a available from the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program web site h ://earth ualce.us s. ovlhazma s/) using the 2009 IBC analysis option was used to determine interpolated probabilistic ground motion values in percent of gravity (g) for an event with a return period of 2 percent exceedance in 50 years. Using the software, the project area was submitted using latitude and longitude for unfactored spectral accelerations, which were determined to be Ss = 1.22 for short periods (0.2 seconds) and S1 = 0.43 for a 1-second period. Based on the results of our subsurface exploration and our estimation of soil properties at depth utilizing available geologic data, Site Class "C", in conformance with Table 1613.5.2 of the IBC, may be used. We are also available to provide geotechnical engineering and monitoring services during construction. The integrity of the foundations depends on proper site preparation and construction procedures.

NW Inc. 310 - 291h Street NE, Suite 101 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY Puyallup, WA 98372 CD5 RE: Sound View Manor (Parcels 1121039060 and 1121039119) Potential Large Nest Analysis Dear Mr. Deaver, Earlier today Habitat Technologies completed an onsite analysis to determine if the previously observed large nest noted in the 2007 and 2008 Habitat Technologies' letter reports located within a large black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) tree offsite to the south of the proposed Sound View Manor Residential Community had been utilized by large birds (such as great blue heron - Ardea herodias or red tailed hawk — Buteo jamaicensis) for nesting during the 2011 breeding season. As noted in 2007 and 2008 the large nest was not occupied within a large black cottonwood tree identified by survey as 286 feet south of the southern boundary of the Sound View Manor project site. This large black cottonwood tree was located approximately 200 feet west of an existing residential community to the east. An existing homesite was located approximately 220 feet directly to the east of the large black cottonwood tree. As identified on November 1, 2011 no large nest was present within the large black cottonwood tree. As with the 2008 assessment, the 2011 assessment noted branch debris from what may have at one time been a large nest under the tree canopy. No evidence of active nesting or nest occupation during the 2011 nesting season (i.e. droppings, feathers, or other indicators) was identified within the general location of the large black cottonwood tree or within the surrounding understory of the large black cottonwood tree. A meandering assessment of the remainder of the Sound View Manor project site did not identify any large nests that would have been occupied during the 2011 nesting season (see attached photos). Thank you for allowing Habitat Technologies the opportunity to assist with your project requirements. Please contact us with any questions or need for additional assessment. Sincerely, Bryan W.

The site, is currently undeveloped with second cut forest at this time: The area is surrounded by residential construction. There was a previous geotechnical report performed on the project dated May 18, 2006 titled Geotechnical Engineering Study and Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation Soundview Manor Residential Development, prepared by Earth Consultants. This firm is no longer in business and AESI has been asked to review and comment on the applicability of the original study in regards to the review comments from the city of Federal Way. We have been provided a grading plan and the geotechnical report for review. Report Review We were provided with the original geotechnical report prepared by Earth Consultants, dated May 18, 2006, titled Geotechnical Engineering Study and Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation Soundview Manor Residential Development. The report included exploration pit logs for 10 exploration pits. The pits were dispersed around the site as noted on the site and exploration plan. The logs indicate that the site is underlain by loose to medium dense, moist, poorly graded sands. However there also appears to be some dense to very dense glacial till near the surface at the south end of the site. Based upon review of the geologic maps of the area the soils found during the explorations appear to be consistent with that delineated on the geologic maps. The report provides geotechnical recommendations for site design, temporary and permanent grading, infiltration, structural fill placement, and parameters for foundations and retaining walls. These recommendations were based upon a grading plan that was not finalized at the time of the report. However the understanding was that the site would be mass graded to allow for the placement of homes and a roadway that met the city standards for grade. The report further recommended that once a site plan was developed and steep slopes were to remain the Kirkland Everett Tacoma C r�} + � P 425-827-7701 425-259-0522 253-722-2992 www.aesgeo.com geotechnical engineer should review the plan to evaluate the stability of the slopes and provide recommendations for construction setbacks. In general we agree with the recommendations provided in the previous geotechnical report. Recommendations We understand that a final grading plan has been prepared for review by a geotechnical engineer. There is a comment letter from the City of Federal Way dated November 9, 2010 with the following comments that we have addressed based upon our review of the geotechnical report and the grading plan dated September 29, 2010. FWRC 19.160 Geologically Hazardous Areas A report must be provided that evaluates the stability of the proposed grading and provide construction setbacks based upon the plans including specifications for slopes over 6 feet in height. The report shall also include recommended methods for mitigating identified impacts, and a description of how these mitigating measures may impact adjacent properties. The grading plan provided includes grades that do not exceed 2H: 1V as recommended in the geotechnical report. Based upon the soils conditions encountered it is our opinion that these slopes can be constructed to the heights shown on the plan with no impact to adjacent properties. We further recommend that structures maintain a 15 foot toe of slope setback from cut slopes and 25 feet from the top of fill slopes. The toe of slope setback on lots 11, 12, and 13 may be difficult to maintain in the current configuration if the house is placed on the level area of the lot. However, extended foundations or fill could be placed against a rear foundation wall to create a level area, thus providing an appropriate building setback from the toe of slope. At this time there are no retaining walls shown on the grading plan. However, there is a possibility that short retaining walls with a maximum height of 6 feet could be used for grade separation between the side yards of the lots. It is our opinion that walls could be designed to accommodate this condition if needed. Federal Way Comprehensive Plan 1VEP 54 Land uses on steep slopes should be designed to prevent property damage and environmental degradation, and enhance open space and wildlife habitat. The site plan has been prepared in order to provide roads that do not exceed the maximum gradients of the city code. The resulting lot configuration and elevations have been established based upon these grades in a manner that minimizes cut and fills beyond which is necessary to provide a conventional building pad. The remaining easterly and westerly perimeter area has been left to open space tracts. 0) NEP 55 As slope increases development intensity, site coverage and vegetation removal should decrease and thereby minimize drainage problems, soil erosion, siltation, and lands slides. Slopes of 40 percent or more should be retained in a natural state, free from structures and other land surface modifications. Based upon review of the site plan there are no retaining structures proposed. The slopes have all been graded to 2H: IV in order to retain the upper slopes in a natural state. There are also fill slopes on the western edge of the developed area. These fill slopes will be constructed in a controlled manner by benching into the native soils as recommended in the geotechnical report NEP 56 — Landslide hazard areas should be free of development, unless the risks and adverse impacts associated ivith such development can be reduced to a negligible level. It is our opinion that the lots have been graded as to minimize the impacts to the critical areas for reasonable use. The grading that will be performed will establish slopes that have a permanent inclination of no greater than 2H: IV, which is the maximum grade that is reasonable for the soil conditions found on site as recommended in the previous geotechnical report. By doing this it is our opinion that with slopes of this inclination under the conditions described in the geotechnical report the risks can be reduced to a negligible level. Revised Seismic Design Criteria The original report also provides design criteria based upon the 2003 IBC. It is our understanding that the City of Federal Way has since adopted the 2009 IBC. Therefore, the guidelines presented in the 2009 International Building Code (IBC) Section 1613 should be used in the seismic design of the project. Earthquake Ground Motions Parameters software version 5.0.9a available from the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program web sitea=://ewthguake.usgs.gov/hazmapsl) using the 2009 IBC analysis option was used to determine interpolated probabilistic ground motion values in percent of gravity (g) for an event with a return period of 2 percent exceedance in 50 years. Using the software, the project area was submitted using latitude and longitude for unfactored spectral accelerations, which were determined to be Ss = 1.22 for short periods (0.2 seconds) and S1 = 0.43 for a 1-second period. Based on the results of our subsurface exploration and our estimation of soil properties at depth utilizing available geologic data, Site Class "C", in conformance with Table 1613.5.2 of the IBC, may be used. We are also available to provide geotechnical engineering and monitoring services during construction. The integrity of the foundations depends on proper site preparation and construction procedures. In addition, engineering decisions may have to be made in the field in the event that variations in subsurface conditions become apparent. Construction monitoring services are not part of this current scope of work. If these services are desired, please let us know, and we will prepare a cost proposal.

The primary goals of this study concentrate on the assessment of existing roadway conditions and intersection congestion, forecasts of newly generated project traffic, estimations of future delay, safety analysis, and analysis of neighborhood impacts from the addition of the road connection. Preliminary tasks include the collection of roadway information, road improvement information, and peak 1 hour traffic counts. A detailed level of service analysis of the existing volumes is then l made to determine the present degree of congestion on the network. Based on this analysis, forecasts of future traffic levels on the surrounding street system are determined. Following this forecast, the future service levels for the key intersections are investigated. As a final step, applicable conclusions and possible mitigation measures are defined. H. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project consists of 21 single family units located in the Federal Way area of King County. The project site is located on the south side of Dash Point Road (SR-509) and just east of 47th Avenue SW. Site access is to be provided by a driveway onto Dash Point Road. There will not be a neighborhood connection. Nearby land uses are mostly residential, with the Twin Lakes Elementary School located to the south. Figure 1 on the following page shows the site location and roadway map, sight distance measurements, and the school walk route. Figure 2 shows the site plan and access configuration for the residential project. IIII. EXISTING CONDITIONS A. Surrounding Street Network The street network serving the proposed project consists of a variety of roadways. Primary streets serving the site are residential streets, multi -lane arterials, and a state route. Characteristics for most roadways vary with respect to lane widths, grades, speeds, and function. Differences are based on specific roadway designations and proximity to major employment areas to the north. The major roadways and arterials surrounding the site are listed and described on page 6.

Lane widths are roughly 12 feet, with paved shoulders of 3-5 feet transitioning to grass/gravel. The posted speed limit is 35 mph. Grades range roughly from 0 to 10 percent. At MP 9.30, this road is Federal Aide Route Designation as Urban - Minor Arterial. The City of Federal Way classification is Minor Arterial. SW 320th Street is a multi -lane arterial that lies to the south of the property. The posted speed limit is 35 mph, and lane widths are approximately 12 feet. A two-way left turn lane is provided along sections of the roadway, transitioning to left turn pockets at major intersections. Shoulders are curb/gutter/sidewalk. Grades range from 0 to 7 percent. B. Roadway Improvements A review of the 2011 to 2016 City of Federal Way Road Improvement Program indicates several projects scheduled in the general vicinity. The following named projects are expected to receive 1 or more PM peak hour trip from Soundview Manor, based on the Federal Way modeling output. Some adjustments were made to determine project trip assignments based on the lower trip generation of the most recently revised site plan. S 320th St @ I-5 Bridge Widening (Map ID #1 b): HOV lanes are to be added along with a realignment of ramps in the SE quadrant. The cost is listed at $101,874,000.

S 320th St @ 1st Ave S (#19): Intersection improvements include 2nd EB & WB LT lanes, NB & SB RT lanes, widen 1st Ave to 5 lanes. The cost is $9,891,000, Receives 7 project trips. C. Peak Hour Volumes Field counts for this study were taken during the evening peak period between the hours of 4 PM and 6 PM. The PM peak hour was used for analysis purposes since it generally represents the worst case scenario for most commercial developments with respect to traffic conditions. This is primarily due to the common 8 AM to 5 PM work schedule and the greater number of recreation and shopping trips associated with the late afternoon period. Residents typically return home after work during the same general time period of the day, which results in a natural peak in evening traffic when combined with traffic oriented toward the project. Shown in Figure 3 on the following page are the weekday PM peak hour volumes for the primary intersection. Volumes on SR-509 were obtained from a count performed by the City of Federal Way at the SR-509/47th Ave SW intersection. This older count was factored up by a 2% growth rate annually to approximate current 2011 volume levels. PM peak hour turning counts can be found in Appendix B. D. Non -Motorist Traffic Volumes Observations for pedestrian and bicycle activities were made at several road segments serving the site. A considerable amount of non -motorist traffic was noted at the 42nd Ave/320th St intersection. Most of these volumes were associated with the nearby school J letting out. During the 2 hours from 4 PM to 6 PM, 33 pedestrians and 5 bicyclists were noted. The school walk route to Twin Lakes Elementary School is to be determined in discussion with the school district. JE. Transit Service A review of the King County Metro Transit web site reveals one transit route providing service in the vicinity of the site. Route 187 provides service from the Federal Way Transit Center to Twin Lakes, and travels along SW 320th Street. The route makes stops in the project vicinity roughly from 5:15 AM to 11:30 PM. Refer to the King County Metro website (transit.metrokc.gov/) for details on route stops and times. J J F. Access Driveways An examination of the proposed new access driveway on Dash Point Rd was made to determine whether adequate entering and stopping sight distance could be provided for inbound and outbound project traffic. Dash Point Rd has a posted speed limit of 35 mph, however vehicles were often noted during site visits to exceed this limit significantly. According to AASHTO standards, a 40 mph design speed has a minimum entering sight distance (ESD) of 445 feet and a minimum stopping sight distance (SSD) of 305 feet. A 45 mph design speed has a minimum ESD of 500 feet and a minimum SSD of 360 feet. Based on field measurements at the estimated entrance location, the proposed new access on SR-509 is able to provide adequate sight distance. Westerly of the entrance, both ESD and SSD were measured at approximately 620 feet with horizontal curvature as the limiting factor. Easterly of the entrance, an ESD of 570 feet and an SSD of 530 feet was measured, with vertical curvature as the limiting factor. These measured sight distances are well in excess of the required minimums. No safety issues relating to sight distance are expected for the Dash Point Rd entrance location. No significant vegetation issues were noted. General verification of sight distance should be done at the time of final review. Refer to Appendix D for a plan/profile exhibit and photograph. The project access onto SR-509 does not require an access permit through WSDOT. Per state law agencies over 22,500 are required to adopt and take over access management of the State Routes within their jurisdiction. The RCW 47.50 ordinance contains these provisions. In this case a right of way permit to construct the access within the right of way is required through the City of Federal Way. G. Collision History A list of the recorded collisions for the SR-509 corridor between 47th Ave SE and 30th Ave SW was provided by the City of Federal Way. The list covered collisions from 2003 through 2005. A summary of the totals per year is given below: TABLE 1 Collision History Location 2003 2004 2005 SR-509 @ 47th Ave SW 0 2 2 SR-509 from 47th Ave to 44th Ave 0 0 0 SR-509 @ 44th Ave SW 0 0 0 SR-509 from 44th Ave to 39th Ave 3 1 0 SR-509 @ 39th Ave SW 0 0 1 SR-509 from 39th Ave to 30th Ave 0 0 0 SR-509 @ 30th Ave SW _1 1 2 1 Out of the 13 reported collisions, 8 were fixed object/parked vehicle collisions. The direction of the vehicles at the time of collision tended to vary. Refer to the Appendix E for more detailed information on the reported accidents. A collision history of the neighborhood streets was also provided. Only one location in the neighborhood streets has any recorded collisions between 1997 and 2005. The intersection of 42nd Ave SW @ SW 320th St had 2 collisions in 2005; a right angle collision and a fixed object/parked vehicle collision. IV. FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS A. Trip Generation l Trip generation is used to determine the magnitude of project impacts on the surrounding street system. This is usually denoted by the specific number of trips, which enter or exit a site during a designated time period. Generation data was taken from the well-known Institute of Transportation Engineers publication Trip Generation, 8th Edition. The specific land use for this site is Single Family Detached Housing (LUC 210). Regression equations were used as directed by the City of Federal Way. Table 2 gives a summary of project traffic assuming 21 units. Average Daily Traffic and AM and PM peak hour volumes are given. TABLE 2 Project Trip Generation 21 Single Family Units Time Period Volume AWDT 247 vpd AM Peak Inbound 6 vph AM Peak Outbound 18 vph AM Peak Total 24 vph PM Peak Inbound 16 vph PM Peak Outbound 10 vph PM Peak Total 26 vph 1 As shown in the table, the AM peak hour is expected to have roughly 8% fewer trips than S during the PM peak hour. The inbound/outbound split for the PM peak is 63 percent entering and 37 percent exiting. B. Trip Assignment and Distribution J The destination and origination of future project traffic primarily dictates how trips will disperse at nearby intersections. Trips generated by the project are expected to follow the J 10 J general pattern shown in Figure 4. The distribution used is based on modeling prepared by the City of Federal Way. Figure 4 shows the expected PM peak hour project trip distribution and assignment for the 21 new single family homes. The Federal Way modeling distribution out to 1 PM peak hour trip can be found in Appendix E. Note that the Federal Way modeling assumes access through the adjacent neighborhood, which is no longer the case. The modeling also shows 32 PM peak hour trips. As the revised trip generation is now at 26 trips, the corrected number of project trips at outlying 1 intersections maybe estimated by applying a 0.81 factor (26/32) to those volumes shown 1 in the modeling output. C. Future Traffic Volumes The owners of the project anticipate a completion date for the build out of this project by 2013. Future 2013 traffic volumes without the project were derived by applying a 2 percent annual growth rate to the through volumes of Figure 3. Future 2013 PM peak hour volumes without the project are shown in Figure 5. Future 2013 PM volumes with } project traffic included is shown in Figure 6. D. Level of Service Description Existing peak hour delays were determined using the Highway Capacity Manual. Capacity analysis is used to determine level of service (LOS) which is an established measure of congestion for transportation facilities. LOS is defined for a variety of facilities including intersections, freeways, arterials, etc. A complete definition of level of service and related criteria can be found in the HCM. The methodology for determining the LOS at signalized intersections strives to determine the volume to capacity (v/c) ratios for the various intersection movements as well as the average control delay for those movements. Delay is generally used to measure the degree of driver discomfort, frustration, fuel consumption, and lost time. Control delay, in particular, includes movements at slower speeds and stops on intersection approaches as vehicles move up in queue position or slow down upstream of an intersection. Aside from the overall quantity of traffic, three specific factors influence signalized intersection LOS. These include the type of signal operation provided, the signal phasing pattern, and the specific allocation of green time. The methodology for determining the LOS at unsignalized intersections strives to determine the potential capacities for the various vehicle movements and ultimately 1 determines the average total delay for each movement. Total delay is described as the Jelapsed time from when a vehicle stops at the end of a queue until the vehicle departs from the stop line. A>>erage total delay is simply the mean total delay over the entire J stream. A number of factors influence potential capacity and total delay including the availability/usefulness of gaps. The range for intersection level of service is LOS A to LOS F with the former indicating the good conditions and the latter indicating the worst J conditions with heavy control delays. Detailed descriptions of intersection LOS are given in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual.

Level of service calculations were made through the use of the automated intersection analysis program HCS 2000. This program follows Chapter 17 procedures of the HCM for unsignalized intersection analysis. TABLE 3 Future 2013 Level of Service Delays given in seconds per vehicle Intersection Control Geometry LOS Delay SR-509/Entrance Stop Northbound A 9.8 Westbound A 7.6 As shown in the table, the project entrance intersection on SR-509 should have mild delays of LOS A. E. Turn Lane Warrants For this impact study, procedures described by the WSDOT Design Manual Figure 1310-15a were used to ascertain left turn lane requirements on Dash Point Rd at the project entrance to the north. The analysis was for the scenario of 2013 volumes with project traffic, shown in Figure 6. The results of this assessment indicate that a left turn lane would not be warranted on Dash Point Rd at the project entrance. A right turn lane analysis per WSDOT Figure 1310-19 was also performed. Again the analysis used 2013 volumes with project traffic, found in Figure 8. The analysis indicates radius only; a right turn pocket or taper would not be warranted. Summaries of the results and the applicable nomographs are given in Appendix G. Refer to the WSDOT Design Manual for detailed descriptions of the methods used. V. CONCLUSIONS AND MITIGATION The Soundview Manor Plat project is located on the south side of Dash Point Rd just east of 47th Avenue SW. The project consists of 21 single family detached housing units. Roughly 247 daily trips would be created on a typical weekday of which approximately 26 trips are expected into and out of the site during the PM peak hour. During the AM peak hour, 24 total trips are expected to be generated. Pedestrianibicyclist traffic along the major roadways is presently moderate during the end of the school day. Transit service is provided on 320th Street to the south of the project. Sight distance for the proposed access on SR-509 is acceptable. 15 According to WSDOT Design Manual procedures, neither a left turn lane nor a right turn pocket are warranted on SR-509 at the proposed project entrance. Per the Transportation Concurrency Analysis for Soundview Manor previously prepared by the City of Federal Way, all intersections impacted by one or more PM peak hour project trips would meet City of Federal Way LOS standards with programmed improvements. Soundview Manor is responsible for paying traffic impact fees for the proposed 21 single family units. Based on the fee of $3,112 per unit, the calculated impact fee comes to $65,352. Additional administrative fees may apply. This impact fee replaces the previously calculated pro-rata share contribution at TIP project locations. Project frontage improvements on Dash Point Rd are required, to a cross section "K" Street. J 16 J SOUNDVIEW MANOR PLAT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS APPENDIX 17 LEVEL OF SERVICE The following are excerpts from the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual - Transportation Research Board Special Report 209. Quality of service requires quantitative measures to characterize operational conditions within a traffic stream. Level of service (LOS) is a quality measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream, generally in terms of such service measures as speed and travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, and comfort and convenience. Six LOS are defined for each type of facility that has analysis procedures available. Letters designate each level, from A to F, with LOS A representing the best operating conditions and LOS F the worst. Each level of service represents a range of operating conditions and the driver's perception of those conditions. Level -of -Service definitions The following definitions generally define the various levels of service for arterials. Level of service A represents primarily free -flow operations at average travel speeds, usually about 90 percent of the free -flow speed for the arterial classification. Vehicles are seldom impeded in their ability to maneuver in the traffic stream. Delay at signalized intersections is minimal. Level of service B represents reasonably unimpeded operations at average travel speeds, usually about 70 percent of the free -flow speed for the arterial classification. The ability to maneuver in the traffic stream is only slightly restricted and delays are not bothersome. Level of service C represents stable operations; however, ability to maneuver and change lanes in midblock locations may be more restricted than in LOS B, and longer queues, adverse signal coordination, or both may contribute to lower average travel speeds of about 50 percent of the average free -flow speed for the arterial classification. Level of service D borders on a range in which small increases in flow may cause substantial increases in approach delay and hence decreases in arterial speed. LOS D may J be due to adverse signal progression, inappropriate signal timing, high volumes, or some combination of these. Average travel speeds are about 40 percent of free -flow speed. J Level of service E is characterized by significant delays and average travel speeds of one- third the free -flow speed or less. Such operations are caused by some combination of adverse progression, high signal density, high volumes, extensive delays at critical intersections, and inappropriate signal timing. I 18 J Level of service F characterizes arterial flow at extremely low speeds, from less than one- third to one -quarter of the free -flow speed. Intersection congestion is likely at critical signalized locations, with long delays and extensive queuing. These definitions are general and conceptual in nature, and they apply primarily to uninterrupted flow. Levels of service for interrupted flow facilities vary widely in terms of both the user's perception of service quality and the operational variables used to describe them. For each type of facility, levels of service are defined based on one or more operational 1 parameters that best describe operating quality for the subject facility type. While the concept of level of service attempts to address a wide range of operating conditions, limitations on data collection and availability make it impractical to treat the full range of 1 operational parameters for every type of facility. The parameters selected to define levels 1 of service for each facility type are called "measures of effectiveness" or "MOE's", and represent available measures that best describe the quality of operation on the subject { facility type. Each level of service represents a range of conditions, as defined by a range in the parameters given. Thus, a level of service is not a discrete condition, but rather a range of conditions for which boundaries are established. The following tables describe levels of service for signalized and unsignalized intersections. Level of service for signalized intersections is defined in terms of average control_de . Delay is a measure of driver discomfort, frustration, fuel consumption and lost travel time, as well as time from movements at slower speeds and stops on intersection approaches as vehicles move up in queue position or slow down upstream of an intersection. Level of service for unsignalized intersections is determined by the computed or measured control delay and is determined for each minor movement.

The primary reason for this difference is that drivers expect different levels of performance from distinct kinds of transportation facilities. The expectation is that a signalized intersection is designed to carry higher traffic volumes than an AWSC intersection. Thus a higher level of control delay is acceptable at a signalized intersection for the same level of service.

For other conditions, the time gap must be adjusted and required sight distance recalculated. Exhibit 9-55. Design Intersection Sight Distance —Case BI—Left Turn from Stop Sight distance design for left turns at divided -highway intersections should consider multiple design vehicles and median width. If the design vehicle used to determine sight distance for a divided -highway intersection is larger than a passenger car, then sight distance for left turns will need to be checked for that selected design vehicle and for smaller design vehicles as well. If the divided -highway median is wide enough to store the design vehicle with a clearance to the through lanes of approximately 1 m [3 ft] at both ends of the vehicle, no separate analysis for the departure sight triangle for left turns is needed on the minor -road approach for the near roadway to the left. In most cases, the departure sight triangle for right turns (Case B2) will provide sufficient sight distance for a passenger car to cross the near roadway to reach the median. Possible exceptions are addressed in the discussion of Case B3. If the design vehicle can be stored in the median with adequate clearance to the through lanes, a departure sight triangle to the right for left turns should be provided for that design vehicle turning left from the median roadway. Where the median is not wide enough to store the design vehicle, a departure sight triangle should be provided for that design vehicle to turn left from the minor -road approach. The median width should be considered in determining the number of lanes to be crossed. The median width should be converted to equivalent lanes. For example, a 7.2-m [24-ft] median should be considered as two additional lanes to be crossed in applying the multilane highway adjustment for time gaps in Exhibit 9-54.

DEVELOPMENT SOUTHWEST 314TH STREET AND SOUTHWEST DASH POINT ROAD FEDERAL WAY, WASHINGTON E-12164 INTRODUCTION General This report presents the results of the geotechnical engineering study and preliminary infiltration evaluation completed by Earth Consultants, Inc. (ECI) for the proposed Soundview Manor residential development located at Southwest 314th Street and Southwest Dash Point Road in Federal Way, Washington. The general location of the site is shown on the "Vicinity Map," Plate 1. Project Description We understand it is planned to develop the approximately 9.2-acre, irregularly shaped property with a new residential development. Based on preliminary design information provided by C.E.S. NW, Inc., the proposed site development will include up to 28 single-family residence lots. The residence lots will be accessed by a new, northeast —southwest -trending, paved extension of Southwest 314th Street extending across the site from the west end of Southwest 314th Street to the southwestern portion of the site, and a southeast —northwest - trending, paved street extending from Southwest Dash Point Road in the north -central portion of the site to a cul-de-sac in the southeastern portion of the site. _3 4, We understand it is planned to infiltrate runoff from the proposed development using a stormwater control pond to be located in the north -central portion of the site. The northwest -sloping site contains a series of northwest -trending drainages. Based on our current understanding of the project, fill is to be placed in the drainage areas, and anticipated cuts and fills of up to 20 feet may be needed to reach construction elevations. A wetland area is located west of the site. A 100-foot wetland buffer has been established adjacent to the wetland area that extends approximately 50 to 75 feet into the western portion of the site. The wetland buffer is to remain undeveloped. At the time our study was performed, the property, proposed lots, proposed stormwater facility, and our exploratory locations were approximately as shown on the "Test Pit Location Plan," Plate 2. J The conclusions and recommendations in this study are based on our understanding of the proposed development, which is in turn based on the project information provided us. If the above project description is incorrect, or the project information changes, we should be consulted to review the recommendations contained in this study and make modifications, if needed.

NW, Inc. Scope of Services The purpose of this study was to explore the subsurface conditions at the site and, based on the conditions encountered, to provide recommendations for developing the site with a residential development. We prepared this study in general accordance with the scope of services outlined in our October 25, 2005, proposal. On this basis, our study addresses the following: ■ Subsurface soil and groundwater conditions • Suitability of existing on -site materials for use as fill and recommendations for importing fill materials • Seismic hazard analyses, including an evaluation of potential liquefaction hazard • Site preparation, grading, and earthwork procedures, including details of fill placement and compaction • Short-term and long-term groundwater management and erosion control measures • Foundation design recommendations, including bearing capacity and lateral pressures • Estimates of potential total and differential settlement magnitudes • Infiltration tests and textural sieve analysis to assess the feasibility of infiltrating stormwater runoff • Preliminary stability assessment SITE CONDITIONS Surface The subject site consists of an approximately 9.2-acre, irregularly shaped property located in the 4300 block of Southwest Dash Point Road in the City of Federal Way, Washington, as shown on Plate 1. The site is bordered to the east by existing single-family residence lots, to the west by single-family residence lots and undeveloped property, to the south by undeveloped property, and to the north by Southwest Dash Point Road. The site is generally comprised of a northwest -facing slope, which descends approximately 95 feet from the southern to northern property line over a horizontal distance of approximately 600 feet. The slope surface has been cut by several northwest -trending drainages. The site slopes generally northwest at gradients typically in the range of 10 to 20 percent. The slopes bordering the drainages descend to drainage centerlines at gradients generally in the range of 20 to 30 percent. A large drainage extends from the southeast site corner to the north -central portion of the site. The slopes bordering the drainage range from approximately 10 to 25 feet in height, descending to the drainage centerline at gradients in the range of 30 to 50 percent. An overgrown dirt road occupies the centerline of the large drainage. Earth Consultants, Inc. Page 2 A Bureau Veritas Company Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. The site is moderately to heavily vegetated with medium- to large -diameter pine and deciduous trees, with an undergrowth of fems and mixed brush. Subsurface Subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated by excavating 11 test pits at the approximate locations shown on Plate 2. The test pits were excavated to a maximum depth of 18.5 feet below existing grade. Our test pit logs are included as Plates A2 through Al2. Please refer to the test pit logs for a detailed description of the subsurface conditions encountered at each test pit location. A description of the field exploration methods is included in Appendix A. The following is a generalized description of the subsurface conditions encountered. At each of our test pit locations, a surficial layer of topsoil and forest duff was encountered. The topsoil was typically 3 to 8 inches thick, with localized areas that were up to 10 inches thick. The topsoil was characterized by its dark brown to black color and organic content. Underlying the topsoil at two of our test pit locations (Test Pits TP-6 and TP-9), glacial till comprised of silty sand (Unified Soil Classification SM) and poorly graded sand with silt (SP- SM) was encountered. The glacial till was medium dense and extended to depths of 1 to 2 feet below existing grade. Underlying the topsoil at 9 of our test pit locations, loose surficial soil comprised of silty sand with gravel (SM) was encountered. The loose surficial soils extended to depths ranging from 1.5 to 5 feet below existing grade. Underlying the glacial till and surficial soils at depths of 1 to 5 feet below grade, outwash deposits comprised of silty sand with varying amounts of gravel (SM), poorly graded sand with silt and varying amounts of gravel (SP-SM), and poorly graded sand (SP) with localized beds of sandy silt (ML) were encountered. The outwash deposits were generally loose to medium dense when encountered, becoming medium dense to dense with depth. The outwash soils extended to the maximum depth explored at each test pit location. Groundwater Groundwater was not encountered during our subsurface exploration. However, iron oxide staining and areas of increased moisture were encountered at all of our test pit locations at varying depths. The iron oxide staining and increased soil moisture appear to be indicative of seasonal perched groundwater collecting above less -permeable beds and lenses within the outwash deposits. Based on the depth of anticipated cuts and on observed site conditions, groundwater seepage may be encountered in site excavations. The contractor should be aware that groundwater levels are not static. There will likely be fluctuations in the groundwater level and seepage rate, depending on the season, amount of rainfall, surface water runoff, and other factors. Generally, the water level is higher and seepage rates are greater in the wetter, winter months (typically October through May). Earth Consultants, Inc. Page 3 A Bureau Veritas Company J I Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. Laboratory Testing Laboratory tests were conducted on representative soil samples to verify or modify the field soil classifications and to evaluate the general physical properties and engineering characteristics of the soil encountered. Visual field classifications were supplemented by grain -size analyses on representative soil samples. Moisture content tests were performed on all samples. The results of laboratory tests performed on specific samples are provided either at the appropriate sample depth on the individual test pit logs or on a separate data sheet contained in Appendix B. It is important to note that these test results may not accurately represent the overall in -situ soil conditions. Our geotechnical engineering recommendations are based on our interpretation of these test results. ECI cannot be responsible for the interpretation of these data by others. CRITICAL AREA CONSIDERATIONS As part of our study, the potential geologic hazards within the subject site as defined in the Federal Way Municipal Code (FMC), Chapter 18-28, were addressed. Based on our review, the site meets the criteria of an erosion hazard area and a steep slope hazard area as defined in the FMC. Erosion Hazard Areas Review of the 1973 USDA Soil Conservation Service (SCS) maps for King County indicates the soils underlying most of the property consist of Indianola loamy fine sand, 4 to 15 percent slopes. Indianola soils with 4 to 15 percent slopes are characterized by rapid permeability, slow to medium runoff, and a slight to moderate erosion hazard. The northeastern comer of the property is mapped as Alderwood and Kitsap soils, very steep. Alderwood and Kitsap soils are characterized by rapid to very rapid runoff, a severe slippage potential, and a severe to very severe erosion hazard. Alderwood and Kitsap soils meet the criteria of an erosion hazard area as defined in the FMC, Chapter 18-28.1. Erosion in the proposed development area will need to be controlled using best management practices. The test pits indicate the soils that should be encountered during construction will primarily consist of fine-grained silty sand, poorly graded sand, and poorly graded sand with silt. These soils may be susceptible to erosion due to sheet flow. Earth Consultants, Inc. Page 4 ..i A Bureau Veritas Company Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. The erosion control plan should include measures for reducing concentrated surface runoff and protecting disturbed or exposed surfaces by mulching and revegetation. The temporary erosion and sedimentation control plan should include the following: • Where practical, maintain vegetation buffers around cleared areas. ■ Cover exposed soil stockpiles. • Hydroseed or place straw mulch in areas where grading is completed. • Divert water away from the top of slopes. • Use silt fences and straw bales around the lower portions of the site perimeter. • Coordinate clearing, excavation and erosion control to reduce exposed areas. The erosion control measures should be reviewed on a regular basis by a representative of ECI to verify they are functioning as intended. Steep Slope Hazard Areas A large drainage extends from the southeast site corner to the north -central portion of the site. The slopes bordering the drainage range from approximately 10 to 25 feet in height, descending to the drainage centerline at gradients in the range of 30 to 50 percent. Slopes } containing gradients of 40 percent or greater meet the criteria of a steep slope hazard area as defined in the FMC, Chapter 18-28.4. Preliminary grading plans were not available at the time of our study. However, based on our current understanding of the project, the steep slopes adjacent to the drainages are to be graded to reach lot and roadway construction elevations. If steep slopes are to remain, ECI should be notified to evaluate stability of the slopes and provide construction setback recommendations. DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS General Based on the results of our study, in our opinion, development of the site with single-family residences is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint. Conventional spread and continuous footing foundation systems bearing on competent native soil or newly placed structural fill may be used for support of the residences. Slab -on -grade floors may be similarly supported. If loose native soil is encountered at construction foundation and slab subgrade elevations, it should be either compacted to the requirements of structural fill, or it should be overexcavated and replaced with structural fill.

This report, in its entirety, should be included in the project contract documents for the information of the contractor. Site Preparation and General Earthwork Based on our understanding of the proposed development plan, site earthwork will likely consist of installing erosion control measures; stripping the site; cutting and filling the site to provide building pad and street grades; installing underground utilities; preparing curb, gutter, sidewalk, and roadway subgrades; constructing the stormwater facility; and constructing single-family residences on the lots. Erosion Control and Stripping Prior to removal of the vegetation, the clearing limits should be flagged and silt fence should be installed downslope of proposed grading areas. We recommend that, once the site clearing limits are flagged, ECI be contacted to walk the site with the grading contractor in order to provide additional geotechnical and erosion control recommendations. After the site is logged and grubbed, the proposed grading areas should be stripped and cleared of surface vegetation, organic matter, and other deleterious material. Existing utility pipes to be abandoned should be plugged or removed so they do not provide a conduit for water and cause soil saturation and instability problems. The sod and topsoil encountered in our test pits was generally on the order of 3 to 10 inches thick. The sod and topsoil should be stripped and removed from the site, or may be stockpiled on site to be used in landscaping areas. The stripped materials should not be mixed with materials to be used as structural fill. During construction, the site must be graded such that surface water is collected and tightlined to an appropriate drainage facility. Water must not be allowed to stand in fill areas or where buildings, slabs, or pavements are to be constructed. Loose soil surfaces should be sealed by compacting the surface to reduce the potential for moisture infiltration. Temporary Slopes The following information is provided solely as a service to our client. Under no circumstances should this information be interpreted to mean that ECI is assuming responsibility for construction site safety or the contractor's activities; such responsibility is not being implied and should not be inferred. Earth Consultants, Inc. Page 6 A Bureau Veritas Company Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. In no case should excavation slopes be greater than the limits specified in local, state (WISHA), and federal (OSHA) safety regulations. Based on the information obtained from our field exploration and laboratory testing, the loose surficial soils, medium dense weathered glacial till, and medium dense to dense outwash soils encountered in our test pit excavations would be classified as Type C by WISHA/OSHA. Temporary cuts greater than 4 feet in height in Type C soils may be sloped to a maximum inclination of 1.5H:1V (Horizontal:Vertical). If slopes of this inclination or flatter cannot be constructed, temporary shoring may be necessary. Structural Fill Structural fill is defined as compacted fill placed under buildings, roadways, floor slabs, pavements, or other load -bearing areas. Structural fill should be placed in horizontal lifts not exceeding 12 inches in loose thickness and compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of its laboratory maximum dry density determined in accordance with ASTM Test Designation D- 1557 (Modified Proctor). The fill materials should be placed at or near their optimum moisture content. Based on the results of our laboratory tests, the on -site soils at the time of our exploration appear to be near their optimum moisture content and should be suitable for use as structural fill. Laboratory testing indicates the native site soils have from 1 to 3 percent fines passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve. Soil with fines in excess of 5 percent will degrade if exposed to excessive moisture, and compaction, and grading will be difficult if the soil moisture increases above its optimum condition. If the site soils are exposed to excessive moisture or cannot be adequately compacted, it may be necessary to import a soil that can be compacted. During dry weather, any non -organic, compactable soil with a maximum grain size of 4 inches can be used. Fill for use during wet weather should consist of a fairly well -graded, granular material having a maximum grain size of 4 inches and no more than 5 percent fines passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve based on the minus 3/4-inch fraction. Slope Fill Placement In our opinion, the placement of fill on a sloping grade is acceptable; however, where slope gradients exceed 20 percent, the fill must be keyed and benched into the slope. This process consists of excavating a keyway at the toe of the planned fill. The keyway should have a width of about 6 to 8 feet and a depth of at least 2 feet into competent native soil. The slope above the keyway should then be cut into a series of horizontal to slightly inward -sloping benches. Typically, the benches are excavated with a small bulldozer as the fill is brought up. The width of the benches will vary with the gradient of the slope, usually the gentler the slope, the wider the benches. Earth Consultants, Inc. Page 7 A Bureau Veritas Company Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. "Typical Slope Fill Placement," Plate 3, shows a schematic diagram of the keyway and benches. Permanent Slopes Permanent cut and fill slopes should be inclined no steeper than 2H:1V. Cut slopes should be observed by ECI during excavation to verify that conditions are as anticipated. Fill slope construction should also be observed under the full-time observation of an ECI representative to test structural fill soils. Supplementary recommendations can be developed, if needed, to improve stability, including flattening of slopes, placing erosion control fabrics, or installing surface or subsurface drains. Permanently exposed slopes should be hydroseeded with an appropriate species of vegetation to reduce erosion. Foundations Based on the results of our study and provided our recommendations are followed, in our opinion, the proposed residences may be supported on conventional spread and continuous footing foundation systems bearing on competent native soil or granular structural fill. If loose native soil is encountered at footing subgrade elevations, it should either be compacted in place to the requirements of structural fill, overexcavated and replaced with structural fill, or the footings should be extended to the underlying competent soil. l Exterior foundation elements should be placed at a minimum depth of 18 inches below final exterior grade. Interior spread foundations should be placed at a minimum depth of 12 inches below the top of slab, except in unheated areas where interior foundation elements should be founded at a minimum depth of 18 inches. Interior foundations in crawl space areas may be supported on competent soils exposed on the surface of the crawl space. 1 ` 1 With foundation support obtained as described, for design, an allowable soil bearing capacity of 2000 pounds per square foot (psf) should be used for the competent native soil j or structural fill. Loading of this magnitude would be provided with a theoretical factor -of - safety in excess of 3.0 against shear failure. For short-term dynamic loading conditions, a 1/3 increase in the above allowable bearing capacity may be used. Continuous and individual spread footings should have minimum widths in accordance with local building codes. With structural loading as expected and provided the above design criteria are followed, total settlement of approximately 1 inch is anticipated, with differential settlement of approximately 1/2 inch. Most of the anticipated settlements should occur during construction as dead loads are applied. Earth Consultants, Inc. Page 8 A Bureau Veritas Company Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. Horizontal loads can be resisted by friction between the base of the foundation and the supporting soil and by passive soil pressure acting on the face of the buried portion of the foundation. For the latter, the foundation must be poured "neat" against the competent native soils or backfilled with structural fill. For frictional capacity, a coefficient of 0.30 should be used. For passive earth pressure, the available resistance should be computed using an equivalent fluid pressure of 300 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). These lateral resistance values are allowable values, and a factor -of -safety of 1.5 has been included. As movement of the foundation element is required to mobilize full passive resistance, the passive resistance should be neglected if such movement is not acceptable. Footing excavations should be observed by a representative of ECI prior to placing forms or rebar to verify that conditions are as anticipated in this report. Slab -on -Grade Floors Slab -on -grade floors should be supported on competent native soil or granular structural fill. Disturbed subgrade soil must either be recompacted or replaced with structural fill. Slabs placed on structural fill or on native soils should b Retaining Walls e Retaining walls should be designed to resist lateral earth pressures from the retained soils, and any surcharge loading. For walls designed to yield a minimum of 0.002 times the height of the wall, lateral earth pressures should be calculated using an equivalent fluid with a unit weight of 35 pcf. For non -yielding walls, the equivalent fluid pressure should be increased to 50 pcf. The above lateral earth pressure values assume free -draining, horizontal backfill conditions. The above lateral earth pressures assume no surcharges due to traffic, adjacent foundation, construction loads, or other loading. If surcharges are to apply, they should be added to the above design lateral pressures. A 2-foot soil surcharge should be used to account for traffic surcharges, where applicable. To reduce the potential for hydrostatic forces building up behind walls, the use of free -draining backfill or a sheet drain combined with a perforated drainpipe can be considered. The free - draining backfill should consist of pea gravel or washed rock with a fines content of less than 5 percent based on the minus 3/4-inch fraction. The free -draining material should extend at least 18 inches behind the walls. A rigid, 4-inch-diameter, schedule 40, perforated PVC or SDR 35 drainpipe should be placed at the base of the walls, and should be surrounded by a minimum of 1 cubic foot per lineal foot with pea gravel or washed rock. The pipe should be Earth Consultants, Inc. Page 9 A Bureau Veritas Company Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. placed with the perforations facing down. The remainder of the backfill should consist of structural fill. Where drainage behind the walls cannot be achieved, the walls should be designed for hydrostatic pressures. Seismic Design Considerations Earthquakes occur in the Puget Lowland with regularity; however, the majority of these events are of such low magnitude they are not felt without instruments. Large earthquakes do occur, as indicated by the 1949, 7.2 magnitude earthquake in the Olympia area; the 1965, 6.5 magnitude earthquake in the Midway area; and the 2001, 6.8 magnitude earthquake in the Nisqually area. There are three potential geologic hazards associated with a strong motion seismic event at this site: ground rupture, liquefaction, and ground motion response. Ground Rupture The strongest earthquakes in the Puget Lowland are widespread, subcrustal events, ranging in depth from 30 to 55 miles. Surface faulting from these deep events has not been documented to date. Therefore, it is our opinion that the risk of ground rupture at this site during a strong motion seismic event is negligible. Liquefaction Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which soils lose all shear strength for short periods of time during an earthquake. Groundshaking of sufficient duration results in the loss of grain -to - grain contact and rapid increase in pore water pressure, causing the soil to behave as a fluid. To have a potential for liquefaction, a soil must be cohesionless with a grain -size distribution of a specified range (generally sand and silt), it must be loose, it must be below the groundwater table, and it must be subject to sufficient magnitude and duration of groundshaking. The effects of liquefaction may be large total and/or differential settlement for structures founded in the liquefying soils. In our opinion, the potential for liquefaction of the soils encountered at this site should be low to negligible. This conclusion is based on the absence of a shallow groundwater table and the generally increasing soil density with depth. Ground Motion Response The 2003 International Building Code (IBC) regulations contain a static force procedure and a dynamic force procedure for design -base shear calculations. Based on the encountered soil conditions, it is our opinion Site Class C, "Very Dense Soil and Soft Rock," as defined in Table 1615.1.1 of the IBC, should be used to characterize the site soils. Earth Consultants, Inc. Page 10 A Bureau Ventas Company Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. Site Drainage Groundwater was not encountered during our subsurface exploration. However, iron oxide staining and areas of increased moisture were encountered at all of our test pit locations at varying depths. The iron oxide staining and increased soil moisture appear to be indicative of seasonal perched groundwater collecting above less -permeable beds and lenses within the outwash deposits. If seepage is encountered, the bottom of the excavation should be sloped to one or more shallow sump pits. The collected water can then be pumped from these pits to a positive and permanent discharge, such as a nearby storm drain. Depending on the magnitude of such seepage, it may also be necessary to connect the sump pits by a system of connector trenches. Final site grades must allow for drainage away from the residence foundation. The ground should be sloped at a gradient of 3 percent for a distance of at least 10 feet away from the residences. Footing drains should be installed around the perimeter of the residences, at or just below the invert of the footing, with a gradient sufficient to initiate flow, as shown on the "Typical Footing Subdrain Detail," Plate 4. Under no circumstances should roof downspout drain lines be connected to the footing drain system. Roof downspouts must be separately tightlined to discharge. Cleanouts should be installed at strategic locations to allow for periodic maintenance of the footing drain and downspout tightline systems. PRELIMINARY INFILTRATION EVALUATION We understand that if feasible, it is planned to dispose of stormwater from the proposed development using a stormwater facility comprised of an infiltration pond. As part of our study, we conducted a preliminary infiltration evaluation to determine the feasibility of infiltrating stormwater in the vicinity of the stormwater facility area as shown on the preliminary site plan provided. Our infiltration evaluation consisted of the following: Excavating three test pits (Test Pits TP-1 through TP-3) in the vicinity of the proposed stormwater facility area in the north -central portion of the site (The test pits were excavated to a maximum depth of 18.5 feet below grade in these areas.) Conducting textural analyses of representative soils collected at the proposed stormwater facility area Interpreting the field data and laboratory analyses to further assess the feasibility of infiltrating stormwater Earth Consultants, Inc. Page 11 A Bureau Veritas Company Geotechnical Engineering Study And Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation E-12164 Prepared for Westbrook Investments, LLC May 18, 2006 c/o C.E.S. NW, Inc. Textural Analyses Representative soil samples were collected from Test Pits TP-1 through TP-3 at depths ranging from 1 to 18 feet below existing grade. Grain -size analyses were conducted on several samples to determine textural classification. The soils were classified according to the USDA SCS classification method. The classifications were determined by measuring the percent fines passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve based on the percent passing the U.S. No. 10 sieve. Based on subsurface conditions encountered and on our textural analyses of representative soils collected at the test pit locations, the proposed stormwater facility area in the north -central portion of the site is underlain by a 1.5- to 3.5-foot-thick layer of loose loamy sand over loose to medium dense fine sand and coarse sand to the maximum depth explored at each location. Please refer to Appendix C to review Test Pits TP-1 through TP-3, which contain soil descriptions based on USDA classifications. Indications of a seasonal high groundwater table were not encountered at our exploratory locations. However, increased moisture was encountered at a depth of 16 feet at Test Pit TP-1, which may be indicative of localized seasonal perched groundwater or a seasonal high groundwater table. Infiltration Testing The feasibility of infiltrating stormwater was further assessed by conducting field infiltration tests. The infiltration tests were conducted in general accordance with the EPA Falling Head Percolation Test procedures at depths ranging from 10 to 11 feet below existing grade. The following tables summarize the results of our tests: Test Pit .- Location TP-1 TP-2 Infiltration Test Results Infiltration Test Depth feet 11 11 TP-3 1` 10 Fine Sand I SP f 90 USDA Soil Classification Coarse Sand Coarse Sand USCS Soil Classification SP SP Infiltration Rate in/ho 491 595 The observed infiltration rates range from 90 inches per hour in Test Pit TP-3 to 595 inches per hour in Test Pit TP-2.

NW, Inc. Discussion and Recommendations Based on observed soil conditions and laboratory tests, it is our opinion that infiltration of stormwater should be feasible in the coarse sand and fine sand encountered at depths of 3.5 to 18.5 feet below existing grade at the proposed stormwater facility area in the north - central portion of the site. However, increased soil moisture was encountered at a depth of 16 feet below existing grade at Test Pit TP-1. The increased soil moisture may be indicative of localized seasonal perched groundwater or a seasonal high groundwater table. In accordance with the King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual, a minimum of 3 feet of separation must be maintained between the bottom of the infiltration pond and the seasonal high groundwater table. As such, the infiltration pond should be designed with an infiltration elevation no greater than 13 feet below existing grade, or an approximate elevation of 132 feet, in the proposed stormwater facility area. The infiltration capability of the soils throughout the proposed infiltration area may vary both horizontally and laterally. Due to this variability, a representative from ECI should observe the infiltration area during excavation to verify the soils encountered at the pond bottom elevation are as anticipated. LIMITATIONS Our recommendations and conclusions are based on the site materials observed, selective laboratory testing and engineering analyses, the design information provided us, and our experience and engineering judgment. The conclusions and recommendations are professional opinions derived in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area. No warranty is expressed or implied. The recommendations submitted in this report are based on the data obtained from the test pits. Soil and groundwater conditions between test pits may vary from those encountered. The nature and extent of variations between our exploratory locations may not become evident until construction. If variations do appear, ECI should be requested to reevaluate the recommendations of this report and to modify or verify them in writing prior to proceeding with the construction.

I j I I I j j Additional Services As the geotechnical engineer of record, ECI should be retained to perform a general review of the final design and specifications to verify that the earthwork and foundation recommendations have been properly interpreted and implemented in the design and in the construction specifications. ECI should also be retained to provide geotechnical services during construction. This is to observe compliance with the design concepts, specifications, or recommendations and to allow design changes in the event subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated prior to the start of construction.

ELW DATE 2/6/06 PLATE 4 IMPORTANT INFORMATION J ABOUT YOUR GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT More construction problems are caused by site subsu r- €ace conditions than any other factor. As troublesome as subsurface problems can be, their frequency and extent have been lessened considerably in recent years, due in large measure to programs and publications of ASFE/ The Association of Engineering Firms Practicing in the Geosclences. The following suggestions and observations are offered to help you reduce the geotech nical-related delays, cost -overruns and other costly headaches that can occur during a construction project. A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT IS BASED ON A UNIOUE SET OF PROJECT -SPECIFIC FACTORS A geotechnical engineering report is based on a subsur- face exploration plan designed to incorporate a unique set of project -specific factors. These typically include. - the general nature of the structure involved, its size and configuration; the location of the structure on the site and its orientation; physical concomitants such as access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities, and the level of additional risk which the client assumed by virtue of limitations imposed upon the exploratory program. To help avoid costly problems, consult the geotechnical engineer to determine how any factors which change subsequent to the date of the report may affect its recommendations. Unless yourconsulting geotechnical engineer indicates otherwise, yourgeotechnicai engineering report should not be used: • When the nature of the proposed structure is changed, for example, if an office building will be erected instead of a parking garage, or if a refriger- ated warehouse will be built instead of an unre- frigerated one; • when the size or configuration of the proposed structure is altered; • when the location or orientation of the proposed structure is modified; • when there is a change of ownership, or • for application to an adjacent site. Geotechnical engineers cannot accept responsibility for problems which may develop if they are not consulted after factors consid- ered in their report's development have changed. MOST GEOTECHNICAL "FINDINGS" ARE PROFESSIONAL ESTIMATES Site exploration identifies actual subsurface conditions only at those points where samples are taken, when they are taken. Data derived through sampling and sub- sequent laboratory testing are extrapolated by geo- technical engineers who then render an opinion about overall subsurface conditions. -their likely reaction to Proposed construction activity, and appropriate founda- tion design. Even under optimal circumstances actual conditions may differ from those interred to exist, because no geotechnical engineer, no matter how qualified, and no subsurface exploration program, no matter how comprehensive, can reveal what is hidden by earth, rock and time. The actual interface between mate- rials may be far more gradual or abrupt than a report indicates. Actual conditions in areas not sampled may differ from predictions. Nothing can be done to prevent the unanticipated, but steps can be taken to kelp minimize their impact. For this reason, most experienced owners retain their geotechnical consultants through the construction stage, to iden- tify variances, conduct additional tests which may be needed, and to recommend solutions to problems encountered on site. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE Subsurface conditions may be modified by constantly - changing natural forces. Because a geotechnical engi- neering report is based on conditions which existed at the time of subsurface exploration, construction decisions should not be based on a geotechnical engineering report whose adequacy may have been affected by time. Speak with the geo- technical consultant to learn if additional tests are advisable before construction starts. Construction operations at or adjacent to the site and natural events such as floods, earthquakes or ground- water fluctuations may also affect subsurface conditions and, thus, the continuing adequacy of a geotechnical report. The geotechnical engineer should be kept apprised of any such events, and should be consulted to determine if additional tests are necessary. GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES ARE PERFORMED FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES AND PERSONS Geotechnical engineers reports are prepared to meet the specific needs of specific individuals. A report pre- pared for a consulting civil engineer may not be ade- quate for a construction contractor, or even some other consulting civil engineer. Unless indicated otherwise, this report was prepared expressly for the client involved and expressly for purposes indicated by the client. Use by any other persons for any purpose, or by the client for a different purpose, may result in problems. No indi- vidual other than the client should apply this report for its intended purpose without First conferring with the geotechnical engineer. No person should apply this report for any purpose other than that originally contemplated without First conferring with the geotechnical engineer. A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT IS SUBJECT TO MISINTERPRETATION Costly problems can occur when other design profes- sionals develop their plans based on misinterpretations of a geotechnical engineering report,1b help avoid these problems, the geotechnical engineer should be retained to work with other appropriate design profes- sionals to explain relevant geotechnical findings and to review the adequacy of their plans and specifications relative to geotechnical issues. BORING LOGS SHOULD NOT BE SEPARATED FROM THE ENGINEERING REPORT Final boring logs are developed by geotechnical engi- neers based upon their interpretation of field logs (assembled by site personnel) and laboratory evaluation of field samples. Only final boring logs customarily are included in geotechnical engineering reports. These logs should not under any circumstances be redrawn for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings, because drafters may commit errors or omissions in the transfer process. Although photographic reproduction eliminates this problem, it does nothing to minimize the possibility of contractors misinterpreting the logs during bid prepara- tion. When this occurs, delays, disputes and unantici- pated costs are the all -too -frequent result. To minimize the likelihood of boring log misinterpreta- tion, give contractors ready access to the complete geotechnical engineering report prepared or authorized for their use. Those who do not provide such access may proceed un- der the mistaken impression that simply disclaiming re- sponsibility for the accuracy of subsurface information always insulates them from attendant liability. Providing the best available information to contractors helps pre- vent costly construction problems and the adversarial attitudes which aggravate them to disproportionate scale. READ RESPONSIBILITY CLAUSES CLOSELY Because geotechnical engineering is based extensively on judgment and opinion, it is far less exact than other design disciplines. This situation has resulted in wholly unwarranted claims being lodged against geotechnical consultants. To help prevent this problem, geotechnical engineers have developed model clauses for use in writ- ten transmittals. These are not exculpatory clauses designed to foist geotechnica) engineers liabilities onto someone else. Rather, they are definitive clauses which identify where geotechnical engineers' responsibilities begin and end. Their use helps all parties involved rec- ognize their individual responsibilities and take appro- priate action. Some of these definitive clauses are likely to appear in your geotechnical engineering report, and you are encouraged to read them closely. Your geo- technical engineer will be pleased to give full and frank answers to your questions. OTHER STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO REDUCE RISK Your consulting geotechnical engineer will be pleased to discuss other techniques which can be employed to mit- igate risk.

Subsurface conditions at the site were explored by excavating 11 test pits to a maximum depth of 18.5 feet below existing grade. The test pits were excavated by Aikin's Excavating using a Hitachi EX120 tracked excavator. The approximate test pit locations and elevations were determined by pacing from site features depicted on a site plan provided by C.E.S. NW, Inc. The locations and elevations of the test pits should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method used. These approximate locations are shown on Plate 2. - The field exploration was continuously monitored by a geologist from our firm, who classified the soils encountered, maintained a log of each test pit, obtained representative samples, and observed pertinent site features. All samples were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System that is presented on the "Legend," Plate Al. Logs of the test pits are presented on Plates A2 through Al2. The final logs represent our interpretations of the field logs and the results of the laboratory tests on field samples.

Bryan W. Peck Wetland Biologist Thomas D. Deming Certified Professional Wetland Scientist INTRODUCTION This report details the culmination of activities and onsite evaluations undertaken to complete a wetland and drainage corridor evaluation as an element of the planning of the proposed SOUNDVIEW MANOR RESIDENTIAL C019MUNITY located generally to the south of SW Dash Point Road, within the City of Federal Way, King County, Washington (part of Section 11, Township 21 North, Range 3 East, W. NI.) (Figure 1). The evaluation and delineation of onsite and adjacent wetlands and drainage corridors is a vital element in the planning and selection or a site development action. The goal of this approach is to ensure that planned site development does not result in adverse environmental impacts to these critical areas. STUDY PURPOSE This purpose of this document is to present the results of an onsite assessment and evaluation of wetlands and drainage corridors within and immediately adjacent to the project site following the methods and procedures defined in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (1987 Manual), the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (Wash. Manual), the Washington Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) Forest Practice Rules, and the City of Federal Way Critical Areas Regulations Chapter 22. Drainage corridors were also assessed and identified in accordance with the criteria established by the City of Federal Way Critical areas Regulations Chapter 22 and the State of Washington Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) Forest Practice Rules (WAC 222-16-030). This study was designed to accommodate site planning and potential regulatory actions. This report is suitable for submittal to federal, state, and local authorities for wetland boundary verification and permitting actions. PROJECT SITE DESCRIPTION The project site (parcels 1121039060 and 1121039119) was vacant and had undergone prior land use manipulations to include forest harvest, clearing, grading, internal road creation, external public road and utility development, and the development of surrounding properties. The project site was accessed via SW Dash Point Road which formed the project's northern boundary. The project site exhibited a mixed upland forest plant community composed of mature second growth Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesh), Western red cedar (Thuja plicata), big leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), red alder (Alnus rubra), and a variety of shrubs and herbs. A narrow, depressional corridor was identified directly offsite to the west of the project site. This depressional corridor contained a perennial stream and associated wetlands -� and conveyed surface water from south to north eventually entering the Dumas Bay Area of Puget Sound. J 1 Soundview 05287 BACKGROUND INFORMATION NATIONAL WETLAND INVENTORY The National Wetland Inventory (NWI) mapping completed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was reviewed as a part of this assessment. This mapping resource did not identify any wetlands or drainage corridors within or adjacent to the project site (Figure 2). This mapping resource did identify offsite wetlands to the north and southwest of the project site. These offsite wetlands were identified as palustrine, open water, permanently flooded (POWH); palustrine, scrub -shrub, semi -permanently flooded (PSSF); and palustrine, emergent, semi -permanently flooded (PIEMF) to the north. The offsite wetland to the southwest was defined as palustrine, scrub -shrub, seasonally flooded (PSSC). This mapping resource also noted the shoreline of Puget Sound offsite to the north of the project site. STATE OF WASHINGTON PRIORITY HABITATS AND SPECIES The State of Washington Priority Habitats and Species (PHS) Mapping was reviewed as a part of this assessment. This mapping resource did not identify any priority habitats or species within or adjacent to the project site. This mapping resource generally identified the same offsite wetlands and the shoreline of Puget Sound as noted in the NWI mapping above (Figure 3). This mapping resource further identified an offsite bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) point location offsite to the northeast of the project site — within the Dumas Bay Park. STATE OF WASHINGTON STREAM MAPPING The State of Washington Department of Fisheries Stream Catalog was reviewed as a part of this assessment. This mapping resource did not identify any streams within the project site (Figure 4). This mapping resource did identify an unnamed offsite stream adjacent to the northwestern boundary area of the project site. CITY OF FEDERAL WAY MAPPING The City of Federal Way inventory mapping was reviewed as a part of this assessment. This mapping resource did not identify any wetlands or drainage corridors within the project site. This mapping resource generally identified the offsite stream adjacent to the northwestern boundary of the project site. This offsite drainage was identified to meet the criteria for designation as a City of Federal Way "Major Stream." This mapping resource further identified an associated wetland contiguous with the offsite stream adjacent to the project site. This offsite wetland was noted as a City of Federal Way Category 2 Wetland (Figure 5). 2 Soundview 05287 SOILS MAPPING The soil mapping inventory completed by the Soils Conservation Service was reviewed as a part of this assessment. This mapping resource identified the soil the project site as Indianola loamy fine sand (InC). The Indianola soil series is defined as somewhat excessively drained, as formed under conifers in sandy recessional glacial drift, and as not listed as "hydric" (Figure 6). WASHINGTON STATE NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM The Washington State Natural Heritage Program was reviewed as a part of this assessment. This resource identified a high quality, undisturbed wetland or a wetland that supports state Threatened, Endangered, or Sensitive plant species within the Section/Township/Range of the project site. ONSITE ANALYSIS CRITERIA FOR WETLAND AND STREAM IDENTIFICATION Wetlands are transitional areas between aquatic and upland habitats. In general terms, wetlands are lands where the extent and duration of saturation with water is the primary factor determining the nature of soil development and the types of plant and animal communities living in the soil and on its surface (Cowardin, et al., 1979). Wetlands are generally defined within land use regulations as "areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions" (1987 Manual). Wetlands exhibit three essential characteristics, all of which must be present for an area to meet the established criteria within the Wash. Manual and the 1987 Manual. These essential characteristics are: 1. Hydrophytic Vegetation: A predominance of plants that are typically adapted for life in saturated soils. 2. Hydric Soil: A soil that is saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper horizons. 3. Wetland Hydrology: Permanent or periodic inundation, or soil saturation to the surface, at least seasonally. A stream is generally defined as a location where surface waters produce a defined channel or bed. A defined channel or bed is typically an area which demonstrates clear evidence of the passage of water and includes, but not limited to, bedrock channels, 3 Soundview 05287 gravel beds, sand and silt beds, and defined channel swales. A stream need not contain water year-round. A stream typically does not include irrigation ditches, canals, storm or surface water run-off devices, or other artificial watercourses unless the constructed watercourse conveys a stream which naturally occurred prior to the construction of such watercourse. STUDY METHODS Habitat Technologies completed a series of site visits between November 2005 and January 2006. The objective of these site visits was to define and delineate potential wetland and drainage corridor areas which may be present within or immediately adjacent to the project area. Boundaries between wetland and non -wetland areas were established by examining the transitional gradient between wetland criteria along a number of east to west transects through the site. Onsite activities were completed in accordance with criteria and procedures established in the 1987 Manual, the Wash. Manual, the City of Federal Way Chapter 22, and the WDNR Forest Practice Rules. Delineation was performed using the routine methodology for areas larger than five acres as detailed in the 1987 Manual. Field data sheets are provided in Appendix A and sample plot locations are noted on Attachment A. FIELD OBSERVATION The project site was accessed via SW Dash Point Road and included two (2) existing parcels (parcels 1121039060 and 1121039119). The project site was generally moderately sloped to the north and exhibited a mixed forest plant community. The project site was vacant and had undergone prior land use manipulations in past years to include forest harvest, clearing, grading, ditch excavation, internal road creation, external public road creation, and development of adjacent properties. Soils As documented at representative sample plots within the project site was dominated by soil that exhibited a sandy loam to sandy gravelly loam texture and coloration typical of the Indianola soil series association. The soil within the project site appeared to drain moderately well to well and did not exhibit prominent redoximorphic features. The soil within the project site did not exhibit field characteristics typical of hydric soil. Hydrology Onsite hydrology appeared to be the result of seasonal stormwater runoff from onsite, stormwater runoff from adjacent properties, and soil characteristics. The project site 4 Soundview 05287 appeared to drain moderately well to well and did not exhibit field indicators associated with the movement of seasonal surface water runoff. A narrow, depressional corridor was identified offsite - adjacent to the northwestern boundary of the project site. This depressional corridor was identified to continue downslope to the northeast. This depressional corridor was also identified to extend upslope generally to the southwest. The movement of surface water within this depressional corridor appeared to be generally to the northwest, eventually entering Puget Sound in the area of Dumas Bay offsite to the north. This drainage corridor appeared to remain po nded/satu rated through at least the early portion of the growing season and to remain saturated at or near the surface well into the growing season. Perennial surface water flow patterns were evident within this depressional corridor and appeared associated with seasonal storm events and potentially upslope seeps. Vegetation The project site exhibited a mixed, forested plant community all of which had been altered by prior land use actions. Observed tree species included Douglas fir, Western red cedar, Western hemlock, big leaf maple, red alder, black cottonwood, cherry (Prunus spp.), and cascara (Rhamnus purshiana). The understory was dominated by a wide variety of shrubs and herbs which included Himalayan blackberry (Rubus procera), evergreen blackberry (Rubus laciniatus), Pacific blackberry (Rubus ursinus), Scot's broom (Cytisus scoparius), rose (Rosa spp.), Indian plum (Oemleria cerasiformis), vine maple (Acer circinatum), hazelnut (Corylus cornuta), Oceanspray (Holodiscus discolor), salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), Pacific red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa), red huckleberry (Vaccinium parvifolium), snowbeny (Symphoricarpus albus), Oregon grape (Berberis nervosa and Berberis aquifollum), salal (Gaultheria shallon), sword fern (Polystichum munitum), bracken fern (Pteridium aquilium), nettle (Urtica dioica), bleeding heart (Dicentra Formosa), geranium (Geranium spp.), wild ginger (Asarum caudatum), and false lily of the valley (Maianthemum dilatatum). This plant community was identified as non-hydrophytic in character (i.e. typical of uplands). The offsite depressional corridor adjacent to the northwestern portion of the project site exhibited a plant community typically associated with damp to saturated soils. Observed species included red alder, black cottonwood, Western red cedar, Sitka willow (Salix sitchensis), Oregon ash (Fraxinus latifolia), crabapple (Pyrus fusca), salmonberry, black twinberry (Lonicera involucrata), Pacific ninebark (Physocarpus capitatus), Douglas spiraea (Spiraea douglasii), Nootka rose (Rosa nutkana), reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), common lady fern (Athyrium fiJix-femina), slough sedge (Carex obnupta), skunk cabbage (Lysichitum americanum), water parsley (Oenanthe sarmentosa), speedwell (Veronica scutellata), and buttercup (Ranunculus repens). This plant community was identified as hydrophytic in character (i.e. typical of wetlands). 5 Soundview 05287 WETLAND AND DRAINAGE CORRIDOR DETERMINATION Wetland determination was based on sample plots which contained hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology in accordance with the 1987 Manual and the Wash. Manual. Based on these methods NO area within the project site was identified to exhibit all three of the established wetland criteria. In addition, NO area within the project site was identified to exhibit characteristics typically associated with a stream. Offsite Drainage Corridor: A drainage corridor was identified within a narrow offsite depressional corridor located to the west of the western project site boundary. This drainage corridor was identified to continue downslope generally to the northeast and enter a City of Federal Way Category 1 Wetland contiguous with the Puget Sound Shoreline within Dumas Park. This offsite drainage has been identified by the City of Federal Way to meet the criteria for designation as a "Major Stream." This offsite drainage corridor appeared to exhibit perennial flow patterns that had been greatly modified by land use actions. That portion of this stream adjacent to the project site did not appear to provide direct fish habitats. However, that portion of this stream downstream within Dumas Bay Park appeared to potentially provide direct fish habitats. The stream segment adjacent to the project site appeared to met the met the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) criteria for classification as riverine, upper perennial, unconsolidated bottom (R3UB). Offsite Wetland A: Wetland A was located within the offsite depressional corridor adjacent to the northwestern portion of the project site. Wetland A was dominated by a mixed, deciduous forest overstory that included often dense thickets of shrubs and herbs. Wetland hydrology appeared provided by the topographical depressional character of this area, from stream drainage within the wetland, seasonal stormwater sheet flow, and from soils characteristics. Wetland A appeared to remain po nded/satu rated following seasonal storm events and to remain po nded/satu rated to the surface into at least the early part of the growing season. The eastern boundary of Wetland A was identified, flagged, and surveyed. Following survey it was determined that this wetland and associated intermittent stream corridor were located to the west of the project site. Wetland A met the USFWS criteria for classification as palustrine, forested, seasonally flooded (PFOC). Wetland A has been identified by the City of Federal Way to meet the criteria for designation as a City of Federal Way Category 2 Wetland. CRITICAL CLASSIFICATION CITY OF FEDERAL FUNCTION BUFFER AREA (USFWS) WAY CATEGORY AND VALOE WIDTH RATING _ Wetland A PFOC 2 moderate 100 Feet Offsite _ R3UB Major Stream - 100 Feet Stream 6 Soundview 05287 WILDLIFE OBSERVATIONS The onsite assessment of fish and wildlife species presence was also completed as a part of the onsite assessment of wetland and drainage corridor characteristics. Onsite activities documented observations of individual species presence, the general location of the species sighting, and the life history activity being undertaken. For many of the smaller, less mobile species (i.e. small mammals, amphibians) the project site may provide all of their life history requirements (nesting, cover, feeding, and reproduction) while for the more mobile species (i.e. waterfowl, songbirds, medium sized mammals) the project site may be used for only a few of the life history requirements. These more mobile species may depend more upon adjacent habitat for more critical habitat needs such as nesting and cover from predators. Onsite assessment was completed between November 2005 and January 2006. Based on plant communities, available habitats, directly observations, and observations within adjacent parcels avian species that were observed or that would be expected within the project site would include American crow (Corvus brachynchos), rock dove (Columbia livia), mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus), Northern flicker (Colaptes auratus), hairy woodpecker (Picoides villosus), tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor), house sparrow (Passer domesticus), violet green swallow (Tachycineta thallassina), brown creeper (Certhia familiaris), song sparrow (Melospiza melodic), American robin (Turdus migratorius), dark eyed junco (Junco hyemalis), Steller's jay (Cyanocitta stelleri), starling (Sturnus vulgaris), black capped chickadee (Parus atricapillus), purple finch (Carpodacus purpureus), rufous sided towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus), golden crowned kinglet (Regulus satrapa), Western screech owl (Otus kennicotti), ruffed grouse (Bonasa embellus), bushtit (Psaltriparus minimus), pine siskin (Carduelis pinus), red breasted nuthatch (Sitta canadensis), and rufous hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus). The majority of these avian species would be expected to feed throughout the project site. Many of these species would be expected to also nest within or immediately adjacent to wetland, and seek cover within this wetland. However, no large nests suitable for bald eagle nesting were observed onsite or from the project site boundary. Mammal species observed (directly or indirectly) or expected within the project site would include black tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus), coyote (Canis latrans), raccoon (Procyon lotor), mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa), opossum (Didelphis virginianus), deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), shrew (Sorex spp.), Townsend mole (Scapanus townsendii), bats (Myotis spp.), eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus), and Douglas squirrel (Tamiasciurus douglasii). The project site would also provide habitats for Pacific treefrog (Hyla regilla), red legged frog (Rana aurora), roughskin newt (Taricha granulosa), and common garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis). The project site did not provide habitats suitable for fish species. 7 Soundview 05287 MOVEMENT CORRIDORS As identified by onsite wildlife trials, small, medium, and large mammals appeared to be moving throughout the project site. STATE LISTED PRIORITY SPECIES A few wildlife species identified by the State of Washington as "Priority Species" were observed onsite, either directly or indirectly (i.e. tracks, scat), or would be expected to utilize the onsite habitats. The majority of these species are identified as "game species" and are regulated by the State of Washington through recreational hunting bag limits, harvest seasons, and harvest area restrictions. This "game species" include black tailed deer, mourning dove, and ruffed grouse. A limited number of "State Candidate" or "State Monitored" species were observed, or potentially could utilize the habitats provided by the project site. State Candidate species are presently under review by the State of Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) for possible listing as endangered, threatened, or sensitive. "State Monitored" species that are native to Washington but require habitat that has limited availability, are indicators of environmental quality, require further assessment, have unresolved taxonomy, may be competing with other species of concern, or have significant popular appeal. A single State Candidate species — pileated woodpecker — may potentially utilize the snags and logs within the project site for feeding. Evidence of feeding activities for this species were observed along the offsite drainage corridor. No nesting areas were observed onsite for this species. While no State Monitored species were observed onsite as a part of this study, great blue heron (Ardea herodias) may potentially utilize offsite habitats. No nesting areas were observed onsite for this species. M0000ft FEDERALLY LISTED SPECIES No federally listed endangered, threatened, or candidate species, or critical habitats for such species, are documented to occur within the project site. However, bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) — a listed threatened species — has been documented within the Dumas Bay Park Area and along the Puget Sound Shoreline. As such, this species may occasionally overfly the project site. 8 Soundview 05287 REGULATORY CONSIDERATION The proposed alteration of lands defined by various federal, state, and local authority rules and regulations as "critical areas" (i.e. wetlands, streams) raises environmental concerns that are generally addressed in the development review process. These concerns center on the development's potential adverse impacts to the structure, function, value, and size of these "wetland" areas. Sucn adverse impacts may include: a reduction in wildlife habitats, reduced surface water quality, reduced water retention, a reduced ground water recharge rate, reduced plant species diversity, and the reduction in the function and value of other associated wetland and non -wetland characteristics. U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS - Section 404 Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344) prohibits the discharge of dredged or fill material into "Waters of the United States" without a permit from the Corps of Engineers (Corps). The Corps has jurisdiction over freshwater systems waterward from the ordinary high water line of a water body or waterward from the upland boundary of the adjacent wetland. The definition of fill materials includes the replacement of aquatic areas with dry land, grading which changes the surface contour of a wetland, and mechanized land clearing in wetlands. For the purposes of Section 404 permitting the Corps makes the final determination as to whether an area meets the wetland definition and would be subject to regulation under the Corps program. Applications to the Corps for permitting actions must follow the 1987 Manual wetland delineation format. Currently the Corps has two specific types of permits which apply to wetland fill proposals. These two types are a series of specific Nationwide Permits and the Individual Permit. The Nationwide Permit process identifies specific categories of work that can be undertaken following a set of specific conditions applicable to each Nationwide Permit number, The Corps requires an Individual Permit where a proposed activities within an identified jurisdictional wetland area can not be authorized under one of the Nationwide Permits. Within the Individual Permit process the Corps undertakes a much more in-depth review of the proposed project and the proposed impacts. The Corps must evaluate whether the benefits derived from the project outweigh the foreseeable environmental impacts of the project's completion. All projects that proceed forward using either one of the Nationwide Permits or the Individual Permit process must also comply with the provisions of the Endangered Species Act. As defined by a recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions the Carps of Engineers does not typically regulated "isolated" wetlands pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Under this decision "isolated" wetlands do not exhibit a continuous surface water connection to other, downstream aquatic system. 9 Soundview 05287 S T r�TE OF WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT, OF ECOLOGY Proposed action undertaken through either of the Corps of Engineers processes (Nationwide, Individual, or isolated) may also subject to the provisions of the Washington State Department of Ecology Water Quality Certification Process. Projects that may be exempt from Corps of Engineers Section 404 jurisdiction may still require review by the Washington State Department of Ecology to ensure consistency with State water quality protection provisions. STATE OF WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE Proposed action undertaken within the ordinary high water mark of a stream require review and potential permitting through the WDFW via the hydraulic permit approval (HPA) process. Such permitting requires the submittal of a permit application and associated project plans to the WDFW Regional Biologist. CITY OF FEDERAL WAY - Critical Areas Regulations Chapter 22 This City of Federal Way regulates activities in and around sensitive wetland and stream areas. The City has adopted the following criteria to define wetlands and streams for purposes of this regulation. Category 1 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 or potentially extirpated plant, fish or animal species; or b. Contain the presence of plant associations of infrequent occurrence, irreplaceable ecological functions, or exceptional local significance including but not limited to estuarine systems, peat bogs and fens, mature forested wetlands, groundwater exchange areas, significant habitat or unique educational sites; or c. Have three or more wetland classes, one of which is open water. Category 2 Wetlands are greater than 2,500 square feet in area, do not exhibit the characteristics of Category 1 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. Category 3 Wetlands are greater than 2,500 square feet in area and do not exhibit those characteristics of Category 1 or 2 wetlands. 10 Soundview 05287 Major stream means any stream, and the tributaries to any stream, which contains or supports, or under normal circumstances contains or supports, resident or migratory fish. If there exists a natural permanent blockage on the stream course which precludes the upstream movement of anadromous salmonid fish, then that portion of the stream which is downstream of the natural permanent blockage shall be regulated as a major stream. Minor stream means any stream that does not meet the definition of "major stream." ® Protective Buffers The City of Federal Way has established the following standard protective buffers for regulated wetlands and streams. The protective buffer is measured perpendicular from the identified wetland boundary or from the ordinary high water mark of a stream. WETLAND OR STREAM STANDARD CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PROTECTIVE BUFFER WIDTH Category 1 Wetland 200 feet Category 2 Wetland 100 feet Category 3 Wetland 50 feet Major Stream 100 feet Minor Stream 50 feet Q Buffers Modifications The City of Federal Way may allow intrusions into regulated wetlands, streams, and the associated protective buffers for such areas based on the following: Structures, improvements, and land surface modification within regulated wetland buffers (22-1359). (a) Generally. Except as allowed in this section, no land surface modification may take place and no structure or improvement may be located within a regulated wetland buffer. (b) Buffer Averaging. Buffers may be averaged only when the wetland or the buffer which is proposed to be reduced contains habitat types which have been so permanently impacted that reduced buffers do not pose a detriment to the existing or expected habitat functions. Through process III, the applicant must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the director of community development that the proposed buffer averaging will meet all of the following criteria: (1) Reduced buffers will not affect the water quality entering a wetland or stream; (2) Reduced buffers will not adversely affect the existing quality of wildlife habitat within the wetland or the buffer; (3) Reduced buffers will not result in unstable earth conditions nor create erosion hazards; and 11 Soundview 05287 (4) Reduced buffers will not be detrimental to any other public or private properties, including the loss of open space. . At no point shall the buffer width be reduced to less than 50 percent of the required standard buffer width, unless the buffer, in existing conditions, has already been permanently eliminated by previous, legally permitted actions. The total area contained within the buffer after averaging shall be equal to the area required for standard buffer dimensions. (c) Essential public facilities, public utilities and other public improvements. The director of community development may permit the placement of an essential public facility, public utility or other public improvements in a regulated wetland buffer if he or she determines that the line or improvement must traverse the buffer because no feasible or alternative location exists based on an analysis of technology and system efficiency. The specific location and extent of the intrusion into the buffer must constitute the minimum necessary encroachment to meet the requirements of the public facility or utility. (d) 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: (1) It will not adversely affect water quality; (2) It will not adversely affect the existing quality of the wetland's or buffer's wildlife habitat; (3) It will not adversely affect drainage or stormwater retention capabilities; (4) It will not lead to unstable earth conditions nor create erosion hazards; and (5) It will not be materially detrimental to any other property in the area of the subject property nor to the city as a whole. (e) Buffer reduction. Through process III, 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: (1) Existing conditions are such that the required standard buffer exists in a permanently altered state (e.g., roadways, paved parking lots, permanent structures, etc.) which does not provide any buffer function, then the buffer can be reduced for that portion where the intrusions are existing. (2) Except for Category 1 wetlands, existing conditions are such that the wetland has been permanently impacted by adjacent development .activities, as evidenced by such things as persistent human alterations or the dominance of non-native invasive species. (3) A project on an existing single-family lot 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. 12 Soundview 05287 (f) Modification. Other than as specified in subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the city may approve any request to locate an improvement or engage in land surface modification within the buffer from a regulated wetland through process IV, based on the following criteria: (1) It will not adversely affect water quality; (2) It will not adversely affect the; existing quality of the wetland's or buffer's wildlife habitat; (3) It will not adversely affect drainage or stormwater retention capabilities; (4) It will not lead to unstable earth conditions nor create erosion hazards; and (5) It will not be materially detrimental to any other property in the area of the subject property nor to the city as a whole, including the loss of open space. Any modification under this subsection shall not reduce the standard buffer by more than 50 percent, and in no case shall the remaining buffer be less than 25 feet. The city may require, as a condition to any modification granted under this subsection, preparation and implementation of a wetland buffer enhancement plan to protect wetland and buffer functions and values. (g) Revegetation. The applicant shall stabilize all areas left exposed after land surface modification with native vegetation normally associated with the buffer. (h) Buffer increases. The director shall require increased environmentally sensitive area buffer widths on a case -by -case basis when the director determines that a larger buffer is necessary to protect environmentally sensitive area functions, values or hazards based on site -specific conditions. This determination shall be supported by appropriate documentation showing that additional buffer width is reasonably related to protection of environmentally sensitive area functions and values, or protection of public health, safety and welfare. Such determination shall be attached as permit conditions. The determination shall demonstrate that at least one of the following factors are met: (1). There is habitat for species listed as threatened or endangered by state or federal agencies present within the sensitive area and/or its buffer, and additional buffer is necessary to maintain viable functional habitat; (2) There are conditions or features adjacent to the buffer, such as steep slopes or erosion hazard areas, which over time may pose an additional threat to the viability of the buffer and/or the sensitive area. In such circumstances the city may choose to impose those buffers, if any, associated with the condition or feature posing the threat in addition to, or to a maximum, beyond the buffer required for the subject sensitive area. Intrusion into stream setbacks (22-1312). (a) Essential public facilities, public utilities and other public improvements. The director of community development may permit -the placement of an essential public facility, public utility or other public improvements in a setback from a stream if he or she determines that the line or improvement must traverse the setback area because no feasible alternative location exists based on an analysis of technology and system efficiency. The specific location and extent of the intrusion into the setback area must constitute the minimum necessary encroachment to meet the requirements of the public 13 Soundview 05287 facility or utility. "Public utility and other public improvements" shall not include improvements whose primary purpose is to benefit a private development, including without limitation interior roads or privately owned detention facilities installed within or during the construction of a residential subdivision, binding site plan, or other commercial development. (b) Minor improvements. Minor improvements such as footbridges crossing the stream, walkways and benches may be located within the setback area if approved through process III, based on the following criteria: (1) It will not adversely affect water quality; (2) It will not adversely affect the existing quality of wildlife habitat within the stream or setback area; (3) It will not adversely affect drainage or stormwater retention capabilities; (4) It will not lead to unstable earth conditions nor create erosion hazards; (5) It will not be materially detrimental to any other property nor to the city as a whole; and (6) It is necessary to correct any one of the adverse conditions specified in subsections (b)(1) through (b)(5) of this subsection. (c) Other intrusions. Other than as specified in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the city may approve any request to locate an improvement or engage in land surface modification within stream setback areas only through process IV, based on the following criteria: (1) It will not adversely affect water quality; (2) It will not adversely affect the existing quality of wildlife habitat within the stream or setback area; (3) It will not adversely affect drainage or stormwater retention capabilities; (4) It will not lead to unstable earth conditions nor create erosion hazards; (5) It will not be materially detrimental to any other property in the area of the subject property nor to the city as a whole, including the loss of significant open space; and (6) It is necessary for reasonable development of the subject property. SELECTED DEVELOPMENT ACTION The Selected Development Action for the proposed SOUNDVIEW MANOR RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY project site focuses on development of residential community consistent with the City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan and local zoning. A primary element within the development of this residential community is the short-term and long-term protection of wetlands, streams, associated wildlife habitats, and local water quality. The Selected Development Action would avoid direct impacts to identified offsite wetlands and streams. In addition, protective buffers shall be established adjacent to these critical areas consistent with the provisions of the City of Federal Way Critical Areas Ordinance. 14 Soundview 05287 FIGURES 15 Soundview 05287 a w _ -SW 307TH ST �— 3iQTH SSIM PL �j E. aDES a �� 3i3TTH PL r 3-1,1TH x .
