SUBJECT:
Drainage Easement Release - Leskovar
BACKGROUND
During the mid 1980's King County's division of Building and Land Development initiated a
comprehensive study of some of their existing storm water retention/detention (R/D) facility
inventory. The R/D facilities of concern in the study were facilities designed and constructed
prior to the late 1970's. These facilities were designed to a standard much lower than later
standards and were not required to be dedicated to public use as was the case later in time. The
goal of this study was to determine the condition, status, and future disposition of these older R/D
facilities, Le., should they be taken into the public domain for operation and maintenance, should
they be retrofit for another purpose such as water quality, or in some cases should they simply be
abandoned.
It was determined that many of the R/D facilities studied had little or no value in the control of
stormwater runoff. In fact, many of the R/D facilities posed safety hazards, were anaesthetic
problem, and generated citizen complaints. In these cases, it was suggested that the R/D facilities
be "retired", i.e., bypassed and filled. In addition to the three aforementioned criteria for
retirement the City has two more - ponds can only be retired after it is demonstrated that there will
be no impact to downstream conveyance systems and that there is no other benefit, e.g., water
quality, to be obtained from them.
One R/D facility on the "retirement" list has been bypassed and filled by SWM and lies within
a drainage easement which encumbers property owned by John Leskovar at the intersection of SW
307th Street and 16th Avenue SW. The downstream conveyance system has been analyzed and
has sufficient conveyance capacity. Supplemental water quality will be accomplished in a small
drainage tract downstream via enhanced infiltration.
The attached graphic depicts the location and size of the easement. Mr. Leskovar has requested
that the City release the easement as the RID facility within it has been retired. It is not clear that
the easement belongs to City - it was not specifically dedicated on the record plat. However, the
City Attorney's office suggests that the city can release (vacate) any implied rights that it
potentially has in the property and thereby avoid extended legal research associated with
establishing easement ownership.
Although a state statute (RCW 35.94.040) provides that any surplus lands, property or equipment
originally acquired for public utility purposes may be sold or conveyed, a public hearing and
adoption of a resolution by the legislative body is required. Staff suggests that Council hold a
public hearing and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to release this easement. As
it is not clear that the easement belongs to the city and the property no longer has value to the city
for storm drainage purposes, staff suggests that no compensation be required of the property
owner for the release.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Committee forward this matter to the Council for their consideration
with a recommendation of approval of the easement release at no cost to the property owner. To
accomplish this staff recommends that the committee authorize the preparation of a resolution for
Council consideration and that the Council meeting serve as the required public hearing.

SeaTac Phase I (Belmor)- Final Project Acceptance
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Background:
The referenced project has been completed and the contractor is now requesting release of the
retainage associated with the project. Prior to release of retainage on a Public Works project, the
City Council must accept the work as complete to meet State Department of Revenue and State
Department of Labor and Industries requirements.
Attached please find the July 1, 1998 memo to the Land Use/Transportation Committee entitled
SeaTac Phase I (Belmor) RFB98-107 "Rebid" - Authority to Award Bid. This memo was
presented to the committee as part of a request for permission to award the referenced project.
The low project construction bid was $1,429,377.61 from Pivetta Brothers Construction, Inc.
Add to this a Committee approved 10% construction contingency in the amount of $142,937.76
and you arrive at a total approved construction contract budget of $1,572,315.37.
The final construction cost for the SeaTac Phase I (Belmor) project is $1,326,498.60 -
$245,816.77 below the approved construction contract budget of $1,572,315.37. A summary of
the ending project balance follows:

SeaTac Phase I (Belmor) RFB98-107 i Rebid" - Authority to Award Bid
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Background:
This item was presented to you and was approved for Award to Stan Palmer Construction, Inc.
on June 1, 1998. Due to the reluctance of Stan palmer Construction, Inc. To enter into a contract
with the City for the construction of the above referenced project and in an effort to potentially
save project costs, the City rejected all bids and rebid the project.
On June 29, 1998, the City received one bid on the referenced project rebid. The low-bid
contractor for this project is Pivetta Brothers Construction, Inc., with a total bid amount of
$1,429,377.61. As an aside, Pivetta was the second low bid on the initial project bid. This bid
amount is 10 % lower than the average bid of the three lowest bidders combined of the first
bidding process, and 6.5 % higher than the engineer's estimated construction cost for this project
(see attached rebid tabulation).
Based on the reference checks completed by CH2M HILL, Inc., the City's Design Consultant on
this project, and by City staff, there is no known reason why this low bidder should not be able
to successfully complete this project to the City's satisfaction.
The project budget status is as follows:
Design
$ 195,900.00
Acquisition
$ 47,000.00
Construction Management
$ 214,700.00
Construction
$1,429,377.61
10% Construction Contingency
$ 142,937.76
$2.029.915.37
Total Project Costs
Council Authorized Budget
$1,853,356.00
Costs - Budget
$ 176,559.37
The estimated project shortfall ($176,559.37) is due to a two year construction delay and includes
the 10% construction contingency in the amount of $142,937.76.
Recommendations:
Staff recommends that the project budget be amended by a budget increase in the amount of
$176,559.37. Staff recommends the award of this project to the lowest responsive, responsible
bidder, Pivetta Brothers Construction, Inc., in the amount of $1,429,377.61 and that a 10%
construction contingency totaling $142, 937.76 be established for the project. In addition, staff
recommends that this matter be placed on the July 7, 1998 City Council meeting consent agenda
for their consideration.

III. FINDINGS
1.
The Hearing Examiner has heard testimony, admitted documentary evidence into
the record, and taken this matter under advisement.
2.
3.
4.
The Community Development Staff Report sets forth general findings, applicable
policies and provisions in this matter and is hereby marked as Exhibit "1" and
incorporated in its entirety by this reference.
All appropriate notices were delivered in accordance with the requirements of the
Federal Way City Code (FWCC).
The applicant has a possessory ownership interest in a rectangular, 9.91 acre
parcel of unimproved property located in the northwest portion of the City of
Federal Way near Poverty Bay Park. The applicant is requesting preliminary plat
approval to subdivide the site into 28 single-family residential lots with a
minimum lot size of 9,600 square feet and an average lot size of 11,582 square
2
feet and a density of 2.8 dwelling units per acre. The north property line of the
parcel abuts the View Cliff single-family residential subdivision; the east property
line abuts the Adelaide Park single-family subdivision; the south property line
abuts the Lakota Highlands single-family subdivision; and the west property line
abuts unplatted parcels improved with single-family dwellings.
5.
A review of the preliminary plat reveals that access is provided at the northeast
corner of the site from 304th Street S.W. onto 24th Avenue S.W. which currently
extends north into the View Cliff subdivision and which will be extended south to
connect with 24th Avenue S.W. in the Lakota Highlands subdivision. 25th Avenue
S.W. currently dead-ends at the south end of the View Cliff No.2 subdivision but
will be connected to a Ventana plat road which will extend south and east to
connect with 24th Avenue S.W. A 26,358 square foot storm drainage detention
pond is located at the northwest corner of the plat, and 10,954 square feet of
open space are provided along the slopes at the west property line. Because of
topographic differences, the applicant must install a retaining wall of up to eight
feet in height, one foot from the six residential lots of the Adelaide Park
subdivision which abut the east property line.
6.
A visit to the site establishes that the parcel has significant topographic
differences and is heavily vegetated with second growth timber and dense
understory. Access to the site is provided from S.W. Dash Point Road via either
21st Avenue, 16th Avenue, or 12th Avenue to 304th Street which presently
terminates at the plat boundary. Future plat residents will likely travel from the
plat via 306th Place onto 21st Avenue which provides a connection with S.W.
312th Street and Dash Point Rd., both of which provide access to SR-99. 304th
Street appears substandard for virtually it's entire length as do internal roads in
the View Cliff subdivision. Adelaide Elementary School, located on the
southeast corner of the intersection of 16th Avenue and 304th Street, is within
walking distance of the plat. The site is also a short distance from Lakota Junior
High School located southeast of the intersection of 312th Street and Dash Point
Road. The proposed subdivision should complement abutting and nearby
development which consists of attractive, well-maintained, single family homes.
7.
Section 22-1568 of the Federal Way City Code (FWCC) defines a significant tree
as one in good health which has a diameter of 12 inches or a circumference of
37 inches measured 4 % feet above ground. The preliminary tree preservation
and removal plan identified 239 significant trees on the site, 210 of which are
located in future rights-of-way, utility easements, and building pads and must be
3
removed. Most of the significant trees are located on the western half of the site,
and most of the 29 retained trees are located either along the north property line
adjacent to View Cliff or in the southwest corner above 26th Avenue S.W.
Conditions of approval and mitigating measures in the Mitigated Determination of
Nonsignificance (MONS) require the applicant to replant the site with two, six foot
high, Douglas or grand fir trees on each building lot or within open space areas.
Furthermore, the applicant must plant 66 street trees along both sides of internal
plat roads including the extension of 25th Avenue into the View Point subdivision.
8.
Because of the topography, the applicant has requested the City to approve
mass grading which will allow on-site material to be used as fill for low areas and
eliminate the necessity of removing and replacing material which would require
6,000 to 8,000 truck trips. This number of truck trips would impact local
subdivision streets and could create a safety hazard due to pavement width and
sight distance problems. If mass grading is approved by City staff, all excavated
material can be used on-site and no import fill will be required. While tree
removal and mass grading will temporarily create a most unattractive
appearance, construction of attractive single-family homes and the planting of
street trees and fir trees and the landscaping of yards will soon render the site
compatible with abutting subdivisions.
9.
Concerns were raised by residents of the area regarding the possibility of eagles,
goshawks, owls, pileated woodpeckers, and ensatina salamanders on the site.
Terra Associates, Inc., conducted several wildlife assessments in response to
said concerns and submitted reports dated June 26,1997, March 19, 1998, and
November 23, 1998 (Exhibit Q to the staff report). These reports establish that
the nearest eagle nest is located more than 2,000 feet north of the parcel
adjacent to Puget Sound. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
generally prohibits development within 330 feet of a nest, restricts development
within 660 feet of a nest, and requires preservation of perch trees within 200 feet
of the shoreline. While some large trees on the site could be used for occasional
perching, because the eagle nest is more than 2,000 feet away and because the
eagle activity is concentrated along the shoreline, development of the site will
have no adverse impact on the pair of bald eagles nesting on Poverty Bay.
Goshawks are only rarely observed in the Puget Sound region, almost always in
the forested areas of the Cascade mountains in eastern King County.
Goshawks are often confused with Cooper's hawks which are rather common in
the Puget Sound area, and no evidence of nests were observed on the site.
Great horned owls may roost or perch on the site, however since this species is
4
10.
11.
very adaptable and relatively tolerant of human activities, development of the site
will create no significant adverse impact on the owls. Pileated woodpeckers
generally inhabit mature and old growth forests which have large snags and
fallen trees, but are also reported to use open woodlands, parks, and wooded
suburbs in the Puget Sound area. The study identified six snags on the
Ventana site which have been used for foraging by pileated woodpeckers and
one large Douglas fir that has a nest cavity which could have been used by said
woodpeckers. However, the foraging appears relatively old and the 10 acre site
is much too small to support a pair of woodpeckers. The habitat is only of
marginal suitability since the healthy condition of the trees provides a low density
of small snags. While ensatina salamanders are found they are not on any state
or federal list of threatened, endangered, or sensitive species. The ensatina is
described by expert publications as "one of the most widespread of species of
salamanders." Development of the site will not adversely affect any species or
habitat of concern.
The applicant will comply with all FWCC infrastructure requirements. Fifty foot
wide rights-of-way will be improved with 28 feet of pavement, vertical curbs,
gutters, sidewalks, and street trees. The intersection of 304th Street and 24th
Avenue S.W. will be widened and improved with sidewalks on the west and
south sides. The applicant will also install a raised asphalt sidewalk on the south
side of 304th Street from the parcel to Adelaide Elementary School. Conditions
also require a retaining wall design along the south property line to promote
residential design themes through terracing and the use of natural material.
Section 20-155 (b) FWCC requires all residential subdivisions to retain 15% of
the gross land area in open space. However, said section also authorizes
applicants to elect a fee in lieu of open space payment to satisfy open space
requirements. Following consideration of the City's overall park plan; and the
quality, location, and service area of the open space, the parks director accepted
the offer of payment in lieu of open space. The payment is based on the most
recent assessed value of the property or a professional appraisal. Thus, the plat
. complies with Section 20-155(b) as the applicant is maintaining 2.5% of the site
as open space and the parks director has agreed to accept a fee in lieu of
payment for 12.5%. Because of the mass grading required to develop the site in
accordance with it's zone classification, the absence of critical areas such as
wetlands, and the large amount of open space within the immediate area to
include Poverty Bay Park and numerous ravines and steep slopes, the parks
director's decision is appropriate. The plat makes appropriate provision for open
5

spaces, parks, and playgrounds.
Significant concerns were raised by downstream property owners to the west
regarding storm drainage control and the increased runoff caused by removal of
the trees and understory and the creation of impervious surfaces. The site is
located within an area of the South Lower Puget Sound Sub-Basin which has
downstream conveyance, flooding, erosion, and habitat problems associated
with storm water runoff. Pinnacle Engineering, Inc., prepared a preliminary
storm drainage report dated October 17, 1997, and revised August 14, 1998
(Exhibit I to the staff report.) The report proposes mitigation as recommended by
the basin plan which requires use of a seven day storm event in sizing on-site
detention facilities. Pinnacle Engineering, Inc., also performed a Level 2
downstream assessment which identified substandard drainage facilities.
Conditions of approval require that all storm water facilities be designed in
accordance with the 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual. Pinnacle,
in its efforts to find an established drainage course which will accommodate plat
storm drainage, is attempting to obtain easements across private property. If
successful, such will ensure a discharge route that will not impact downstream
property owners. The Examiner has added a condition which requires the
applicant to provide a copy of the final storm drainage plan to Dean Condos with
opportunity to review and comment prior to it's final approval by the City.
Compliance with the basin plan, the KCSWDM, and the provision of adequate
downstream facilities will ensure that the plat makes appropriate provision for
drainage ways.
The principal objection raised by neighboring property owners is the proposed
connection of 25th Avenue S.W. between the Ventana and View Cliff
subdivisions. King County approved View Cliff in the mid-1960's many years
before the incorporation of Federal Way and prior to adoption of County road
standards. The View Cliff final plat contains the following note:
Temporary turnaround to become void on extension of 25th
Avenue S.W.
The final plat also reflects 25th Avenue S.W. extending to the 304th Street right-of-
way. Thus, King County intended that 25th Avenue would be extended and that
the temporary cul-de-sac would be eliminated. All property owners within View
Cliff were either aware of the temporary nature of the cul-de-sac or were charged
with it's knowledge since it is a recorded document. However, property owners
6
r
14.
15.
correctly assert that View Cliff has had no problems with it's internal circulation
for the past 30+ years and strenuously object to the creation of another access
into the subdivision for a number of reasons to include: higher traffic volumes on
inadequate and poorly designed streets; opposition by 97% of the residents of
View Cliff; creation of a high speed traffic corridor; elimination of a basketball
hoop and play area for children at the 25th Ave. cul-de-sac; creation of unsafe
walking and bicycling conditions; increased crime caused by better access and
more than one way out; and the fact that the extension of 25th was required by
King County as opposed to the City.
In addition to the temporary cul-de-sac and extension of 25th to the south
property line, the final plat of View Cliff No.2 reflects that the unopened right-of-
way of S.W. 304th Street abuts the entire south property line of the plat (lots 1
and 18). Thus, when View Cliff No.2 was approved, King County contemplated
the extension of 25th Avenue to the south and the extension of 304th Street to the
north to provide a connection with 25th Avenue. Since the City has not required
the applicant to either dedicate the additional right-of-way for 304th Street or to
construct said street, the existing 30 foot wide unopened right-of-way will likely
not be used for road purposes.
A drive through the View Cliff subdivision reveals an attractive, well maintained
neighborhood with streets of substandard width and no curbs, gutters, or
sidewalks, and either narrow or no shoulders. View Cliff is shaped similar to a
chicken "wishbone" with the two prongs being 25th Avenue and 24th Avenue and
the stem extending north from their intersection. To access Ventana through
View Cliff, a driver would travel westbound on S.W. 304th Street, turn northbound
on 24th Avenue S.W., travel north for approximately 1,000 feet, make a
horseshoe left turn onto 301 st Place which runs to the northwest, make a sharp
left turn onto 25th Avenue S.W., and then drive south about 1,000 feet to
Ventana, A much quicker and easier access into Ventana is provided via 21 st
Avenue and S.W. 306th for drivers coming from either the north or the south.
Ventana residents would have no reason to use View Cliff roads unless visiting
someone in View Cliff, or if other accesses were closed. Connecting 25th
Avenue will likely mean that some residents of View Cliff desiring to travel south
will likely use the Ventana roads as opposed to the present 24th/304th route.
While 25th Avenue will experience more traffic, it will not become the
thoroughfare that residents fear. The View Cliff subdivision contains 54 lots,
most of which will continue to use the 24th/304th route to Dash Point Road.

16.
17.
Residents have accused City staff of not listening to their desire to keep 25th
Avenue closed. Residents point to the virtual unanimous support for closure as
evidenced by petition signatures. However, City staff and the Examiner must
review policies and standards adopted by the Federal Way City Council in
determining proper access for a new subdivision. land use decisions are not
made by popular vote, but are determined by whether the project complies with
adopted criteria. Chapter 20 FWCC contains the Federal Way Subdivision
Code. Section 20.2 states that the purpose of said chapter is to implement the
Comprehensive Plan; promote the health, safety, and general welfare; promote
safe and convenient travel by the public on streets and highways through the
proper planning and coordination of new streets within a subdivision with existing
and planned streets in the surrounding community; provide for proper ingress
and egress; and promote the effective use of land by preventing overcrowding or
scattered development which would adversely impact the transportation system.
Thus, the City Council has determined that in approving new subdivisions, City
staff must plan and coordinate "new streets within a subdivision with existing and
planned streets in the surrounding community." City staff has done so by
requiring a road connection contemplated for many years.
Section 20-151 FWCC entitled "Subdivision Design" provides in part as follows:
a.
Subdivisions should be designed so that traffic is distributed in a
logical manner toward a collector street system, to avoid intrusion
and over-burdening of residential streets, and to connect with
planned or existing streets.
c.
Cul-de-sac streets should be no longer than 600 feet.
d.
Blocks should be no longer than 1,200 feet without an intersecting
connector road.
If 25th is not connected, a cul-de-sac substantially longer than 600 feet will be
maintained. Even with 25th Ave. connected, the distance between its intersection
with 24th Ave. SWand SW 3018t Place is longer than 1,200 feet. Connecting 25th
will not overburden the existing road even though it is substandard. The only
objective way of determining whether a street is overburdened is to refer to a
recognized traffic engineering publication establishing standards for local streets.
Otherwise, some residents may think that 10 vehicle trips per day overburdens a
street while others may think that 500 vehicle trips per day overburdens a street.
8
18.
The Federal Way City Council has adopted traffic volume limits for each street
classification. All streets abutting and within the Ventana and View Cliff
subdivisions are classified as local streets, and Table 111-3 of the comprehensive
plan states that local streets can handle a maximum of 1,500 vehicle trips per
day. The Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual estimates
that each single family residential dwelling will generate ten vehicle trips per day.
Thus, if every vehicle trip from every single family dwelling in both the Ventana
and View Cliff subdivisions use 25th Ave., such would amount to 820 vehicle trips
per day or 55% of the road's capacity.
Connecting 25th is also consistent with the land use goals and policies of the
Federal Way Comprehensive Plan as follows:
a.
Land Use Goal 3 and Land Use Policy (LUP) 14 encourage the
preservation and protection of Federal Way single family neighborhoods
through strict enforcement of the City's land use regulations. Such
includes the requirements of the subdivision code set forth above.
Furthermore, smaller street grids are encouraged to disperse vehicular
traffic so that no residential streets are overburdened and walking
distances are shortened, which in turn reduces vehicular use. LUP 17
encourages the development of transportation routes to single family
neighborhoods which re-enforces the concept of multiple routes between
destinations. The transportation goals and policies of the comprehensive
plan encourage the protection of neighborhoods from traffic impacts. As
previously found, connection of 25th with the Ventana street network will
add little, if any, traffic to the streets within View Cliff. The connection will
provide an alternative vehicle and pedestrian route for residents of View
Cliff travelling to the south.
b.
Transportation Goal 2 and TP 20 state as follows:
Transportation Goal 2: Provide a safe, efficient, and economic
street system with sufficient capacity to move people, goods, and
services at an appropriate level of service. The City shall adopt
policies for the construction, reconstruction, maintenance, and
preservation of new and existing facilities such as gravel and
substandard streets.
TP 20: Take advantage of opportunities to open new road
9
connections to create route alternatives, especially in areas with
few access choices.
Opening 25th Ave. specifically complies with the above goal and policy as
it creates a second alternative route into View Cliff which consists of 54
lots served by only one access.
c.
TP21 states as follows:
Enhance traffic circulation and access with closer spacing of
through streets as follows:
a.
Arterial streets at least every 1,200 feet in single family
zones and every 600 feet in non-single family zones.
b.
Collector streets every 600 feet in single family zones and
every 600 feet in non-single family zones.
Implementing TP 21 would require extending 304th St. to 25th Ave., but City staff
has elected not to do so. However, based upon the adopted comprehensive plan
policies and subdivision code criteria, City staff has correctly required the
extension of 25th Ave. Following the desires of residents would directly contradict
the adopted standards, plans, and policies of the City Council. Furthermore,
maintaining 25th a dead-end road would not further the health, safety, and
welfare as it creates problems not only for emergency vehicle providers, but also
delivery trucks, garbage trucks, mail service, etc., which must now backtrack for
significant distances due to the road layout. The plat makes appropriate
provisions for streets, roads, alleys, and other public ways.
19.
Lake Haven Utility District will provide both potable water and fire flow to the site
and sanitary sewer service to each lot. The Federal Way Fire Department has a
fire station within a reasonable response time. The plat makes appropriate
provision for water supplies, sanitary waste, and fire protection.
20.
The applicant must comply with the Federal Way School Impact Fee Ordinance
and make a payment of $2,882 per single family housing unit at the time of
building permit issuance. As previously found, the applicant is providing safe
walking conditions for students by providing sidewalks on both sides of internal
plat roads and on the south side of 304th St. E. to Adelaide Elementary School.
10
While concerns were raised regarding overcrowded conditions at the schools,
our Court of Appeals has addressed this issue in the case of Kenart and
Associates v. SkaQit County, 37 Wn. App 295 (1984) as follows:
School capacity is always a legitimate concern, but, taken alone any
development could be halted solely on this ground. If no solution exists,
then perhaps no further development is appropriate, but the mere fact that
more houses mean more children and more children mean greater school
capacity is needed, is not the end of the inquiry. 37 Wn. App 295 at 302.
The City Council has adopted a School Impact Fee Ordinance to address
overcrowding, and taxes generated by the subdivision will also support the public
schools. The plat makes appropriate provision for schools and school grounds
and safe walking conditions for students.
Section 20-126 FWCC requires the Examiner to issue a written recommendation
of approval or disapproval of the subdivision to the City Council. Section 20-
126(c) sets forth the decision criteria used by the Examiner in reviewing the
preliminary plat. Findings on each criteria are hereby made as follows:
21.
A.
22.
As previously found, the proposed plat is consistent with the Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan.
B.
As previously found, the preliminary plat is consistent with applicable
provisions of the subdivision code.
C.
The preliminary plat is consistent with the public health, safety, and
welfare assuming that the applicant complies with applicable development
codes and regulations.
D.
As previously found, the preliminary plat satisfies the design criteria set
forth in Section 20-2 FWCC as well as the criteria set forth in RCW
58.17.110.
E.
The preliminary plat is consistent with the development standards set forth
in Sections 20-151 through 20-157 and 20-178 through 20-187 FWCC.
Concerns were raised by one or more property owners abutting the east side of
the parcel regarding the proposed retaining wall. The applicant submitted a
11
proposal for a rock retaining wall and requested the Examiner's approval.
However, neither City staff nor residents had had an opportunity to review the
proposal and the Examiner will not approve it, but will impose the City's
recommended Condition 6. In doing so, the Examiner is not finding that said wall
is not appropriate or not a good design, but only that it should be further
reviewed prior to approval.
23.
The Examiner has modified conditions of approval as agreed to between the
applicant and the City, but has declined to adopt the modifications requested for
the drainage condition. The Examiner agrees that since the applicant is
proposing the preliminary plat, it is responsible for remedying downstream
conveyance problems.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
From the foregoing findings the Hearing Examiner makes the following conclusions:
1.
The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to consider and decide the issues presented
by this request.
2.
The proposed preliminary plat of Ventana is consistent with the goals and
policies of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan and satisfies all criteria of the
Federal Way Subdivision Code and zoning regulations.
3.
The proposed preliminary plat makes appropriate provision for the public health,
safety, and welfare for open spaces, drainage ways, streets, roads, alleys, other
public ways, water supplies, sanitary waste, fire protection, parks, playgrounds,
sites for schools and school grounds, and safe walking conditions for students.
4.
The proposed preliminary plat satisfies all criteria set forth in Sections 20-126(c),
20-151 through 20-157, and 20-178 through 20-187 FWCC.
5.
The proposed preliminary plat will serve the public use and interest by providing
an attractive location for a single family residential subdivision consistent with
existing development in the area, and therefore should be approved subject to
the following conditions:
1,
Because the plat proposes to redirect surface water runoff from the
12
northeast basin into the western basin (the net result of which is an
increase in the real size of the plat's westernmost drainage basin, as
required by the Public Works Director), and prior to constructing the plat
improvements, the conveyance system downstream of this basin shall be
analyzed in sufficient detail to insure that the increased volume of water
discharged from this basin can be accommodated. A level three
downstream analysis shall be performed from the plat to Puget Sound for
engineering plan review. Additional hydrologic/hydraulic analysis shall be
required if the level three analysis is not sufficient to determine all
drainage problems.
The downstream capacity of the new drainage conveyance for the
Southwest basin between the project site and Puget Sound has to be
adequate. The capacity of this conveyance needs to be fully analyzed
using the design standard outlined in the King County Surface Water
Design Manual. The analysis will be reviewed in the engineering review
process. Any deficiency of the conveyance has to be addressed before
engineering approval of the project. Depending upon the result of the
analysis and the historical observation record, the mitigation effort may
involve substantial improvement of the conveyance system downstream.
The bonds and liability requirement, including drainage facilities
restoration and site stabilization bond and the maintenance defect bond,
shall be applied to all downstream improvements constructed by the
developer.
The applicant shall be required to construct all improvements necessary
to mitigate all identified conveyance problems, whether existing or
resulting from the plat's development, as identified during engineering
plan review, as required by the Public Works Director. Engineering
approval shall not be granted if it is determined that proposed mitigation is
not adequate to address the impacts of the project.
2.
All plat drainage elements shall be required to conform to the standards,
policies, and practices of the City of Federal Way's Surface Water
Management Division as outlined in the adopted "1990 King County
Surface Water Design Manual," the "City of Federal Way Comprehensive
Surface Water Management Plan - Phase I," the "Comprehensive Surface
Water Management Plan, " and the "Stormwater System Operation ancj
Maintenance Manual," and as modified by the Public Works Director.
13
3.
Retention/detention facilities used to control runoff from the site to off-site
drainage courses shall be located in a detention tract dedicated to the city
at the time of final plat approval, unless located within improved public
rights-of-way. Vegetative screening of the facilities shall be provided.
4.
The final plat drawing shall establish the open space in an open space
tract to be owned in common and maintained by property owners of the
proposed subdivision (or owned by an incorporated homeowners'
association and maintained by the association), and prohibiting removal or
disturbance of landscaping within the tract, except as necessary for
maintenance or replacement of existing plantings and as approved by the
city. Additional vegetation may be located in open space(s) and Native
Growth Protection Easement (NGPE) tracts to meet the MONS conditions
as approved by the city.
5.
Prior to issuance of construction permits, a landscape plan, prepared by a
licensed landscape architect, shall be submitted to the city for approval,
and shall include the following elements:
a)
Open space landscaping;
b)
Street trees in planter strips inside plat boundaries;
c)
Tree conservation and significant tree replacement; and
d)
Visual screening of all property boundaries of the detention tract
from adjacent properties and the right-of-way with landscaping
and/or fencing. Cyclone fencing, if used, shall be painted black or
green, and shall be surrounded by vegetation.
6. Retaining walls and rockery design shall be harmonious with existing
adjoining residential uses, and shall promote residential design themes
through such means as terracing, orientation, natural material selection,
, use of vegetation, and textural treatment.
7.
The applicant must develop written procedures to inform personnel
working on the site (1) to be on the alert the possibility that (a)
archaeological remains could be exposed during construction, and (b)
14
evidence of such remains can include concentrations of organic material,
shell, fire modified rock, burned or oxidized sediments, bone or lithic, and
(2) that should remains be exposed, personnel must follow specific
procedures to notify the Washington State Department of Archaeology
and Historic Preservation, the City of Federal Way, and an archaeologist.
The written procedures shall be reviewed and approved by the city prior to
beginning construction.
8.
To provide a safe route of travel for school children, the applicant shall
install an asphalt-paved pedestrian pathway from the subject site, west
along the southern side of SW 304th Street to Adelaide Elementary
School, subject to review and approval by the Public Works Director. The
pathway shall generally be 8-feet wide, but may be narrowed down to a 5-
foot wide in places as necessary to avoid construction conflicts with
existing improvements along the route.
9.
According to the Plat of ViewCliff No.2, the temporary turn-around located
at the southern portion of Viewcliff No.2 is to become void on the
extension of 25th Avenue SW. The applicant will be responsible for
preparation and submittal of any documents necessary to accomplish the
voiding of the existing 25 Avenue SW cul-de-sac at the direction of the
city.
10. The applicant shall provide a copy of the final storm drainage plans to
Dean Condos for review and comment prior to final approval by the City.
RECOMMENDA TION:
It is hereby recommended to the Federal Way City Council that the preliminary plat
of Ventana be approved subject to the conditions contained in the conclusions
above and the mitigating measures set forth in the Mitigated Determination of
Nonsignificance.

CONSULTED DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
The following departments, agencies, and individuals were advised of this application.
A. Community Development Review Committee (CDRC), consisting of the Federal Way
Community Development Services Planning and Building Divisions; Public Works
Engineering and Traffic Divisions; Parks Recreation and Cultural Resources
Department; Federal Way Department of Public Safety (Police); Federal Way Fire
Department; Lakehaven Utility District; and Federal Way Public Schools. CDRC
comments have been incorporated into this report where applicable.
B. All property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the site were mailed notices of the
original and revised application, and of the February 2, 1999, public hearing. The site
was also posted and notice published in the newspaper and on the city's official notice
boards. Thirty-six (36) comment letters were submitted in response to the two notices
of application (Exhibit D). A petition signed by 44 residents was submitted on February
11, 1998. Following notice of the public hearing, a January 18, 1999, comment letter

changes or corrections were made to the city's initial determination.
III STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT
a.
A Mitigated Environmental Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) was issued for
the proposed action on October 15, 1998 (Exhibit E). This determination was based on
review of information in the project file, including the environmental checklist (Exhibit
F), resulting in the conclusion that the proposal would not result in probable significant
adverse impacts on the environment provided the following measures are complied with:
1.
One or two Douglas Fir or Grand Fir trees, a minimum of six feet in height at the
time of planting, shall be installed in each building lot before final building
inspection shall occur; or,
In lieu of planting the trees within individual lots, the same number and type of
trees shall be installed within an area, such as an open space or detention tract.
The trees shall be a minimum of six feet in height at the time of planting, and shall
be installed before the final plat is approved.

Storm Water Runoff- The applicant will be required to provide storm drainage
improvements to comply with all applicable Core and Special Requirements outlined in
the King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), including surface water
quantity and quality control. Pinnacle Engineering Inc, prepared and submitted a
October 27, 1997, Preliminary Storm Drainage Report, revised August 14, 1998
(Exhibit I), to the Department of Community Development Services for review by the
Public Works Department. A basin modification request, submitted in August 1998, for
the project (Exhibit .J) was conditionally approved by the Public Works Director on
October 1, 1998 (Exhibit K). The preliminary plat depicts storm water collected in a
detention pond at the northwest comer of the site, with release to a water quality
biofiltration swale on the west side of the site and on to Puget Sound via open and
closed conveyance systems (Exhibit L). An infiltration tank with oil water separator and
settling basins is also depicted in the northeast comer of the site, with connection to the
stormwater system within SW 304th Street (refer to Exhibits Ml and M2). See Section
Ix. C. of this report for a detailed description of the proposed drainage facilities.
B. Soils - The 1973 King County soils survey map lists the soils type as Alderwood
Gravelly Sandy Loam (AgC) and Alderwood Kitsap (AkF). AgC soils are characterized
as moderately well drained soils over dense, relatively impermeable till at depths of 24
to 40 inches, These soils are described as capable of adequate compaction, runoff is
slow, and erosion hazard is slight with slopes at 6-15 percent. AkF soils are
characterized as very steep, and include rapid runoff and severe erosion hazard and slip
potential with slopes of 25 to 70 percent. Distribution of soils varies greatly within
short distances,

Topography - The site is hilly, with an average slope of20 percent. Steep slopes on the
west side of the site adjacent to 26th Avenue SW are proposed to be retained in
constrained and buffer open space. A slope analysis map submitted with the application
depicts 83 percent of the site with 0-20 percent slopes, 16 percent of the site with 20-40
percent slopes, and .01 percent of the site with 40-100 percent slopes (Exhibit N).
D.
Vegetation - Vegetation on site is heavily wooded, and consists primarily of mature
firs, alders, and maples trees, with a dense native understory of shrubs. The Preliminary
Tree Preservation and Removal Plan (Exhibit 0) submitted with the preliminary plat
identifies 239 trees on the subject property that meet the FWCC definition of
significant. The plan locates 210 of these trees in the future right-of-way, utility
easements, and building pads; the trees are not proposed to be retained. Meandering
road(s) around significant trees was not feasible due to topography and existing points
of connection, according to the applicant, and 88 percent of the significant trees are
proposed for removal (refer to Exhibit P, the preliminary clearing and grading plan).
Approval of the preliminary plat is subject to submittal and approval of a landscape
plan pursuant to FWCC Section 20-158. During engineering plat design and review,
staff will work with the applicant to identify trees which could be retained on the site
with preliminary plat alignment and final construction. Retained significant trees
outside of open space areas would be regulated under FWCC Section 22-1568,
Significant Trees.
The applicant will be providing 10,284 square feet of constrained and buffer open space
on the western side of the site. This area contains 11 significant trees which shall be
retained. The balance of the open space obligation will be provided through fee in lieu
of payments due prior to final plat approval per FWCC Section 20-155.
E.
Wildlife - A Wildlife Study/Eagle Assessment, prepared by Terra Associates, March 19,
1998 (Exhibit Q- J), indicated that eagles reside approximately 2,000 feet north of the
subject site in Poverty Bay Park, a 48 acre unimproved park site. The wildlife study
states that eagles may perch in the trees of the subject site, an event witnessed by
neighbors.
According to a July 9, 1998, amendment to the eagle report (Exhibit Q-2), retention
and/or replacement of significant trees and vegetation, as well as incorporation of street
trees and buffer open space into subdivision design, will help mitigate the introduction
of human activities on the wildlife habitat. The 11 mature trees retained in the open
space tract will provide eagle perching habitat as the subdivision vegetation matures.
The report recommends that perch tree replacement be initiated through installation of
evergreen trees on each individual building lot. Replacement trees were recommended
as a means to mitigate potential adverse impacts to eagle habitat, and stated as SEP A
conditions (refer to Section III. A).

An October 30, 1998, letter (Exhibit G- 7, Carrell) commented on the sighting of
potentially threatened or endangered wildlife species at the subject site. A November
23, 1 ~98, supplemental wildlife report (Exhibit Q-3) addressed northern goshawks,
pileated woodpeckers, and ensatina salamanders, as well as eagles in response to the
comment letter. This report amendment was reviewed by a Habitat Biologist with the
Washington State Department ofFish and Wildlife. His response is Exhibit R.
The Terra Associates reports did not identify any adverse impacts on the
aforementioned species or individuals using the site. No additional mitigation measures,
other than those for replacement trees, was stated in the Terra Associates reports. The
condition required by the city through the environmental review process will ensure
adequate compensation for loss of vegetation and habitat in this urban setting,
consistent with recommendations of the state. No additional conditions are
recommended.
F.
Mapped Sensitive Areas - The Federal Way Sensitive Areas Map (Exhibit S) indicates
that the west side of the site is within an erosion hazard area with steep slopes,
consistent with the soils classification. No other geologically hazardous sensitive areas
are evident from the map. A geotechnicial report evaluating the erosion hazard areas
contains erosion control measures for improvements proposed within the erosion hazard
areas. The FWCC requires that these measures be implemented.
Typical soils excavation will occur with the street construction, at the site of the
detention pond, and for utility installation. The preliminary clearing and grading plan
depicts clearing limits which exceed city standards for development clearing noted
above. In an August 18, 19981etter, the applicant requested mass regrading of the
subject site for lot development in conjunction with utility easement installation to
achieve a balanced cut and fill program, and to reduce construction related vehicular
traffic impacts at the site. Without the mass grading, the applicant estimates that 6,000
to 8,000 truck trips are necessary to remove and replace the material at the site. This
request was reviewed by the Planning, Building, and Public Works staff, and approved
subject to engineering plan review. It is anticipated that all excavated material can be
used on site, and that no import fill will be required if the mass grading is approved.
The Geotechnicial Report, prepared by Terra Associates, Inc., February 27, 1998 and
revised August 17, 1998 (Exhibit 1), contains recommendations and conclusions for the
proposed development, including site preparation and grading of the subject site.

NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS
A.
Vicinity - The property is situated in the northern portion ofthe city, in a single family
residential area. The site is vacant. The majority of adjacent properties are developed
with single family residences on lots ranging from 7,400 square feet or more per
dwelling unit to the south (Plat of Lakota Highlands), to 11,000 square feet or more per
dwelling unit to the north (plat of ViewcliffNo.1 and 2). Poverty Bay Park is northeast
of the subject site (Exhibit B).
B. Cultural Resources - A letter identifying the subject site as a potential burial ground
was submitted during the SEPA comment period (Exhibit G-12, Clark). In response to
this issue, a Heritage Resources Investigation, prepared by Northwest Archaeological
Associates, Inc., December 4, 1998, was submitted (Exhibit U). A copy was forwarded
to the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, the
Muckleshoot Tribe, and the Puyallup Tribe. A response from the Washington State
Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation was received on De-cember 16,
1998 (Exhibit V). To date, no tribal responses have been received.
The Heritage Resource Investigation found that four archaeological sites are recorded
within three miles of the project location. While heritage resources were not located
during a reconnaissance, specific procedures are outlined in the report should
archaeological remains be exposed. Refer to condition #7 of preliminary plat approval
(page 17).
VI GENERAL DESIGN
A. Subdivision Access and Roadway System - Access to the property will be provided by
the northward extension of 24th Avenue SW from SW 306th Street, connecting to SW
304th, and the southerly extension of 25th Avenue SW, connecting to 24th Avenue SW
at SW 305th Street. Refer to Exhibit W, the preliminary roadway and utility plan. 24th
Avenue SW, 25th Avenue SW, and SW 305th Street are classified by the FWCC as
local streets, providing access to residences and connecting neighborhood streets to the
collector system. Pursuant to FWCC street improvement standards, the minimum right-
of-way width for local streets is 50 feet. The applicant is proposing full street
improvements for the roadways, including 28 feet of pavement, vertical curb/gutters,
street trees, sidewalks, and landscape/utility strips within the 50-foot right-of-way. The
intersection ofSW 304th Street and 24th Avenue SW shall be widened and improved
with sidewalk on the west and south sides. The Public Works Department and Federal
Way Fire Department have reviewed the proposed access, street improvements, and
curve radius.

Compliance with the City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) and FWCC
was analyzed in a March 9, 1998, memorandum prepared by the city's Traffic Engineer
(Exhibit X). It concludes that the proposed street layout of the Ventana subdivision is
consi~tent with existing codes and Comprehensive Plan goals and policies.
Street connectivity from Ventana to the plat of View cliff No. 2 is opposed by Viewcliff
residents, who on February 11, 1998, submitted a petition signed by 44 residents
(Exhibit Y). Staff responded to the petition in a March 20, 1998, letter (Exhibit Z).
B. Pedestrian System - Sidewalks will be provided along all lot frontages. Specifically,
full street improvements include five foot wide sidewalks on both sides of the street.
Half street improvements at SW 304th at 24th Avenue SW will include a five foot wide
sidewalk only on the southerly side of the street. The applicant will be required to
provide an eight foot wide paved walking path from the subject site eastward along the
south side of SW 304th Street to Adelaide Elementary School. In addition, five foot
wide sidewalks will be extended northward to into ViewcliffNo. 2.
C. Landscape Buffers and Open Space - In accordance with FWCC Chapter 20,
Subdivisions, landscaped buffers are specified only when the plat is adjacent to an
incompatible zoning district. The proposed plat is bordered on all sides by single family
residential zoning, therefore, no formal buffers are required. Street trees, when mature,
open space vegetation, screening of the detention tract, and replacement trees will
contribute to visual buffering. Street tree requirements are described in VII. A.; open
space requirements are described in VIII. B., and detention tract screening in IX. C.;
below.
D. Lot Layout - The lots range in size from 9,626 square feet to 18,354 square feet. The
proposed lots are generally rectangular in shape. Five are flag lots in conformance with
FWCC standards. To facilitate storm drainage collection, lots 1 through 8 are proposed
to be regraded, and rockeries (six to eight feet in height), would be installed along the
east property line to contain a 20 foot drainage easement. To minimize visual and
aesthetic impacts to adjoining easterly single family homes, rockery and retaining wall
design should promote residential design themes through terracing, natural material
selection, placement of vegetation, and textural treatment. Refer to condition #6 of the
preliminary plat approval (page 17).

feet of pavement, vertical curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and street trees, within a 50-foot
right-of-way width. The intersection ofSW 304th Street and 24th Avenue SW shall be
widened and improved with sidewalk on the west and south sides. Sixty-six red maple
street trees are proposed to be installed in the right of way (Exhibit 0). The Public
Works Department and Federal Way Fire Department have approved roadway
improvements and curve radius as proposed.
In a June 8, 1998, memorandum, the Traffic Engineer stated that off-site improvements
to 26th A venue SW were not warranted (Exhibit AA).
Pursuant to plat conditions as previously established for the adjacent subdivision of
ViewcliffNo. 2, the temporary turn-around located at the southern portion of View cliff
No.2 (Exhibit BB) is, "to become void on extension of 25th Avenue SW." The
applicant will be required to install street improvements at this location as required by
the city (Exhibit W). The applicant will be responsible for preparation and submittal of
any documents necessary to eliminate the turn-around at the direction of the city. This
requirement is addressed as condition #9 of the preliminary plat approval {page 17).
Street lighting is required pursuant to FWCC Sections 22-1522. The applicant has
proposed to install five street lights in the subdivision.
B. Adequacy of Arterial Roads - This proposal has been reviewed under the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEP A). Based on the FWCC, the additional traffic to be
generated by this development does not require any roadway improvements for vehicles
or pro rata share payments because there are no projects in the city's Transportation
Improvement Plan (TIP) impacted by the project.
VIII
PUBLIC SERVICES
A. Schools - As part of the city's review ofthe proposal, the preliminary plat application
was referred to the Federal Way School District for comments. Comments received on
October 31, 1997, March 4,1998, and May 27,1998, included the following
information. The proposed subdivision will be served by Adelaide Elementary, Lakota
Junior High, and Decatur Senior High Schools. As these schools are within one mile of
the subject site, no bus transportation is available from this site. School service areas
are reviewed annually and may be adjusted to accommodate enrollment growth and
new development.
The existing route of travel from the proposed subdivision to Adelaide Elementary is
via a substandard roadway, with gravel shoulders and ditches. To meet the standards of
FWCC Section 20-156( a), the applicant will be required to install an improved
pedestrian corridor from.the subject site to Adelaide Elementary School along the

Open Space - The nearest city park is Poverty Bay Park,"kitty-corner" from the
northwest portion of the subject site. Other public parks in the vicinity include Adelaide
Park, 1,000 feet southeast of the site; Lakota Park, approximately 3,000 feet southeast
of the site; and Dumas Bay Retreat Center, approximately 2,000 feet west of the site.
To provide adequate recreational opportunities commensurate with new residential
development, FWCC Chapter 20, Subdivisions, requires dedication of land on site for
open space, or a fee-in-lieu-ofpayment. Specifically, FWCC Section 20-155(b) requires
all residential subdivisions to provide open space in the amount of, "15 percent of the
gross land area of the subdivision site; or pay a fee in lieu of' payment for all or
portions of the open space area required.
Total open space required for this plat is 64,764 square feet (15 percent of the 431,763
square foot parcel). Pursuant to FWCC Section 20-155, the applicant proposes to
provide a portion of the required open space on site and pay fee-in-lieu for the balance
of the required open space. Specifically, the applicant proposes to provide a 10,283
square foot on-site open space tract, consisting of constrained and buffer area, on the
west side of the site (2.38 percent of the four percent of constrained and buffer open
space pennitted under FWCC 20-155), and to meet the balance ofthe requirement
(54,467 square feet) through payment of an open space fee. The fee would be based on
the assessed value of the land according to the King County Assessors Office valuation
of the subject site at the time the final plat is reviewed. This fee shall be paid to the city
before the final plat is approved.
C. Fire Protection - The Certificate of Water Availability from the Lakehaven Utility
District indicates that water will be available to the site in sufficient quantity to satisfy
fire flow standards for the proposed development. The Fire Department requires that a
fire hydrant be located within 350 feet of each lot. The preliminary plat drawing depicts
the installation of four fire hydrants at the subdivision. The exact location of these
hydrants must be approved by the Fire Department.

IX UTILITIES
A. Sewage Disposal - The applicant proposes to serve the proposed plat by a public sewer
system managed by Lakehaven Utility District. A July 22, 1997, Certificate of Sewer
Availability (Exhibit DD) indicates the district's capacity to serve the proposed
development through a Developer Extension Agreement (DEA) between the applicant
and the district. According to the preliminary plat, an extension of the existing sanitary
sewer main in 26th Avenue SW will serve the site. The applicant will need to renew the
expired certificate and DEA before the engineering approval is granted.
B.
Water Supply - The applicant proposes to serve the subdivision with a public water
supply and distribution system managed by the Lakehaven Utility District. A July 22, .
1997, Certificate of Water Availability (Exhibit EE) indicates Lakehaven's capacity to
serve the proposed development through a Developer Extension Agreement (DEA). The
applicant will need to renew the expired DEA and certificate before the engineering
approval is granted.
C. Drainage Facilities - The site is located in the South Lower Puget Sound Sub-Basin, in
an area identified by the Executive Proposed Basin Plan: Hylebos Creek and Lower
Puget Sound, as having downstream conveyance, flooding, erosion, and habitat
problems associated with stormwater runoff. The applicant is proposing to provide
mitigation as recommended in the Basin Plan, specifically, Basin Plan Recommendation
#BW-2 which calls for the use of a seven-day storm event in sizing on-site detention
facilities. A 30 percent safety factor is not required to be used in facility design.
The February 1998, Levell Downstream Analysis, including onsite basin comparisons,
offsite conveyance capacity checks, and core and special requirements under the
KCSWDM, was prepared by Pinnacle Engineering, Inc, and reviewed by the Public
Works Department (Exhibit I).
Development of the site will create additional runoff from new impervious area. The
9.9 acre project site is located on a ridge and contains four distinct drainage basins. The
applicant submitted a request for basin modification (variance). The detailed description
of the requested diversions can be found in the preliminary storm drainage report
containing an August 14, 1998, level II downstream assessment prepared by Pinnacle
Engineering (Exhibit 1).
The variance request, was reviewed by Public Works Surface Water Management staff,
in conjunction with the KCSWDM, and was conditionally approved in a October 1,
1998, letter (Exhibit L). Stormwater design and plat drainage elements must conform to
the standards, policies, and practices ofthe City of Federal Way's Surface Water
Management Division as outlined in the adopted "King County Surface Water Design

EXHIBIT
.~ ~ tt e
Manual," the "City of Federal Way Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan -
Phase I," the "Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan," and the "Stormwater
System Operation and Maintenance Manual."
As the variance request proposes to redirect surface water runoff from the southeast
basin"ofthe plat into the west basin, the net result of which is an increase in the areal
size of the plat's westernmost drainage basin, the conveyance system downstream of
this basin shall be analyzed in sufficient detail to insure that the increased volume of
water discharged from this basin can be accommodated. A level three downstream
analysis shall be performed from the plat to Puget Sound for engineering plan review.
Additional hydrologic/hydraulic analysis shall be required if the level three analysis is
not sufficient to determine all drainage problems.
The applicant shall be required to construct improvements necessary to mitigate all
identified conveyance problems, whether existing or resulting from the plat's
development, as identified during engineering plan review. Engineering approval shall
not be granted if it is determined that proposed mitigation is not adequate to address the
impacts of the project. Refer to conditions #1 and #2 of the preliminary plat approval
(page 16).
Storm drainage facilities are to be designed in accordance with all applicable core and
special requirements outlined in the KCSWDM, and per the basin complex variance
request approval. An infiltration tank., detention pond, and biofiltration swale are
proposed to provide runoff control for the site. The approved storm drainage facilities
must be constructed per city code requirements, prior to final plat approval and
recording of the subdivision condition. The detention facilities shall be vegetatively
screened from the plat and surrounding properties. Refer to condition #3 of the
preliminary plat approval (page 16).

Dear Deb,
,; ",
I'm writing with infonnation regarding a new subdivision, reference number
SUB970005. We live along the undeveloped park in this proposed area. We
have for many years, the opportunity to observe the eagle family that live
in this park. In fact, they hunt their prey in thffs proposed subdivision.
We have also observed red tail hawk, falcons, and owls in this area, sometimes
in our back yard. Why take their home away?
.,
In addition, with all the talk and controversy on "old growth timber", how can
this subdivision be created and this "old growth timber" be done away With?
This proposed area has beautiful "old growth timber" on it.
Please keep me informed by placing my name on the mailing list:
Mary M. Hunter

Thank you for your time.

Dear Ms. Barker:
I am writing to express serious concern about the proposed development at 24th Ave. S.W. and
S.W. 304th S1. (File #: SEP97-0036, SOB97-0005). As a resident of the View Cliff
neighborhood which is adjacent to the proposed development site, I am fearful ofthe impact of
this development for the surrounding areas.
My concern about this development is threefold. First, I am concerned about the construction
process and the extent to which it may disrupt our current lifestyles as residents of the area,
including access to and from the neighborhood, the noise generated, the physical "mess" that
may result, and the span of time such a development may cover. A development of this size can
severely disrupt the livability of the area while the construction takes place.
Second, I am concerned about the quality of the development and its impact on the investment
value of our homes in the area. The value of our property is heavily dependent upon the quality
of the surrounding areas. Without proper assurances of the quality of the new development, I
have serious worries about the negative impact on the current value of my home and property.
Finally, I am concerned that this development will negatively and irrevocably change the nature
and character of the surrounding neighborhoods. View Cliff is currently a safe, peaceful place
to live, which is the primary reason we have chosen this area to invest in a home. The
development of the adjacent land, without proper quality controls, could destroy our existing
quality of life, Of particular concern is the "right of way improvements." What does this
involve, and how might it alter the flow of traffic on our residential streets? I am interested in
learning of the details of such right of way improvements. Other developments and city projects
in the general area have already caused traffic delays and other inconveniences; this development
could êxacerbate those existing problems.
In short, this development could have devastating effects on the quality of our lives and the
investment value of our property. I urge the City of Federal Way to establish proper quality
controls to maintain the quality of the existing neighborhoods which surround the proposed
development site. I would like to get more detailed information about the proposed plans, and
voice my opinions about them in a public forum or with the proper city officials.
In the meantime, should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at my home
phone: 835-0381.

Subject: 1) Access to View Cliff Block 1&2 and ViewCliffNo. 2 Sub-divisions during construction.
2) Proposed plans for development ofthe Ventara Subdivision site.
Ms Barker and Mr. Clifton,
Thank you for the kind attention, responsiveness and assistance you provided during my several visits to
the Community Development Services office concerning SUB-970005.
I am a resident of the Viewcliffsubdivisions, which includes 24th and 25th Avenues S.W., that abut the
north boundary ofVentara along 304th St. and along a line continuing west passed the present terminus of
25th Avenue S.W.. I have reviewed, with neighbors, the infonnation and preliminary plans, you provided,
about the proposed Ventara subdivision plus excerpts from chapters 20 and 22 of the Federal Way City
Code (FWC) dealing with Single Family Residential Detached Dwelling Units (Zone RS 9.6),
Subdivisions, and Landscaping. I offer these comments as a summary of views expressed during this
meeting.
There is no doubt in our minds that this project will proceed to conclusion. The site is highly desirable and
the owners have every right to develop it. The City of Federal Way, however, has the jurisdiction and
obligation to ensure that the utilization of existing trees in site landscape planning is done wisely and with a
real sense of community esthetic balance to offset a developer's natural urge for stuffing as many clear-cut,
minimum size, view lots into a given space as is allowed by zoning.
What seems to be going on is that Ventara is being designed as though it was an island unto itself, without
any aesthetic connection to surrounding neighborhoods and the wooded character of the city at large. We
object to the present lack of landscaping plans detailing the retention of Significant Trees on housing lots
that reflect some aesthetic continuity with the tree rich contiguous subdivisions where space between view
lot homes is sufficiently open to allow mini-views from sidewalks and homes across a street. Both
developer and city should ensure that generous, not just minimum, existing tree conservation values are
reflected in the Ventara theme design together with, but not totally dominated by, view considerations.
The following comments are offered in two parts. Part I deals with isolated points worthy of mention, easily
accomplished and not expected to have major impact on the economics or design of the project. Part II is an
appeal for Significant Tree retention above minimum statutory levels that hopefully will inspire both city
authorities and the developer to place special emphasis on design concepts and lot details, including size,
that will maximize tree retention on these view lots.

PART J:
1) ACCESS DURING CONSTRUCTION. At the intersection of 304th Street and 24th Avenue the street
will be widened and considerable land contouring win be required to create the new intersection extending
24th Avenue from Viewcliffinto the Ventara site. Residents of the ViewcliffSubdivisions have no other
access except through this intersection. We ask that construction be planned and executed in such a way
that at least 1/2 of the road at this intersection is always open to local and emergency traffic without delays
of passage.
2) CHANGE STREET NAME FROM 25th STREETS.W. TO 25th AVENUE S.W. The short extension
of 25 Avenue S.W. from ViewcliffNo. 2 into Ventara should not have it's name changed to "street" at the
border of the subdivision. People looking at a map, trying to find a stubby little 500 foot long street
discontinuity will have a terrible time finding it, including guests of the new residence and maybe
ambulance, fire and police personnel. When Ventara is thought of as being part of something larger than
itself, the advantages of change the street name becomes obvious.
'"'
3) DETENTION POND: First, we are concerned that the detention pond will become a sta2:nant
siltation/water retention pond, over time, with sediment clogged, inadequate leaching, thus, becoming an
accumulator of water born stonn drain trash, odor and a mosquito breeder. What are the leaching
properties going to be, of the final detention system, so this won't happen? Second, who will maintain the
area and mow the grass that should be planted in the retention pond and biofiltration swale so it doesn't
turn into a rotting, bug infested neighborhood eye sore plugged with weeds, new alders and thom bushes. Is
the city 2:oin2: to include mowin2: this pond and biofiltration swale in the public works budget so it gets
scheduled, cared for and mowed on a re2:ular basis? Ifnot, what then and by whom? Certainly not the
resident who has to live next to the ugly thing and smack bugs while property values decline!
4) SEWER LINE: We are pleased that the sewer line stops at the border of the project and isn't extended
into Viewcliff. Our septic systems are in excellent soils and working just fine. We feel no compelling need
for sanitary sewers at this time.
5) MAILING LIST: Please add my name to the mailin2 list for'communications concerning the Ventara
project.
PART II:
1) SITE DESCRIPTION: The 9.9 acres making up the proposed Ventara subdivision comprise a uniquely
beautiful site with 239 tall Fir and Hemlock trees that qualify as "Significant Trees" (over 12 inches in
diameter) in the FWC 22-1568 definition for SR zoned sites. At the site, the average tree diameter is
around 24 inches including some with diameters as large as four (4) feet across, "Big Daddy" measuring
five (5) feet in diameter and "Grandpa" more than 6 feet in diameter. From it's western edge, the site
slopes gently upward from a lower elevation overlooking Puget Sound and the Cascade mountains. The
rise continues to a rounded ridge located along a generaUy south by southwest centerline. Behind the ridge,
the topography progresses easterly sloping gently downward to the eastern site boundary which drops off
suddenly to neighboring subdivisions. I hope you and other city staff members who will have decision
authority over the Ventara project will take the time to walk through this beautiful woods before any plans
to alter it are approved and while it still stands in it's virginal condition. My offer to escort such a walk
still stands.

2) MOST COMPELLING ISSUE: I wish to present an appeal for the maximum retention of mature
trees on the Ventara site, especially Significant Trees, rather than ending up with minimums, as appears
to be the present design intent. After review of the planning available to me, to date, I conclude that the
thrust of the pl'oject could lead to a virtual clear-cut of all but 15% of the entire 9.9 acre Ventara site
resulting in the destruction of 199 Significant Tre--..s and almost all mature trees of non-fir 01' hemlock
species outside designated Open Spaces, regardless of size or esthetic appeal. One's first reaction might
be... "Who is this guy kidding?, they would never do that." My response is to look at the newer upscale
subdivision on 304th Street S.W. across from Adelaide Elementary School, and count the Significant
Trees, not replants, remaining in these view lots (which are 30 feet wider than Ventara's lots). Virtual
clear-cut? Not so far fetched as one might initially think! Follow the reality!
3) TREE COUNT: Of the 239 Significant Trees on the site the FW Code allows a developer to remove up
to 75% without restriction. Of the remaining 25% (60 trees), fully 1/2 of them can be removed and replaced
(one for one) with 30 mini-trees 12 feet tall. All such replacement trees can be placed within the 15 % Open
Space allocation. Thus, the true minimum retention of Significant Trees is only 12 1/2 percent of the
original 239 pre-development Significant Tree count, e.g. 30 trees (see Tally below).
4) By statute (see Sununary Tally below), only 30 Si2nificant Trees must be retained without
substitution in the entire Ventara project. All others appear to be fair game for the ax. The view lot
character of this site and the saw mill value of the timber alone makes virtual clear-cut a great temptation
and, 1 submit, a high probability, especially since there appears to be no proposed plan to the contrary i.e.,
plans showing proposed housing lot Significant Tree retention for consideration by the City of Federal
Way, before preliminary site plans are formally approved.
5) Of the 30 Significant Trees that must be retained, 20 of them are already in the required Open Space
areas. The other 10 required but unidentified retained Significant Trees can be randomly selected by the
developer and grace 10 house lots with a single tree in each lot while all other housing lots can be stripped
bare to ease construction. Some of the 10 may not be earmarked for a house lot but, may be located on
easements. If so, these trees would have to survive trenching for sanitary sewer, storm drain and potable
water pipings, underground electrical cable, or excavation of the storm water Detention Pond basin. Maybe
a few could be retained (FWC 20-1 86c) along sidewalks by meandering the road a little bit near the
detention pond.
6) In the Ventara plan, Open Space Tract 996 contains 53% of all required Open Space in the project. It
lies along the eastern boundary of the site and will not interfere with the sight-lines of any of western facing
view lots. By plan, this Open Space will be heavily contour graded near the 304th Street intersection with
24th Avenue S.W. and contain only one Significant Tree. Tract 996 will need cover and can be loaded
with all 30 of the replacement mini-trees without hampering view lines anywhere. This may meet the
minimum Landscaping Code and it may help give Tract 996 some needed repair, but it will not help keep
any of the Significant Trees on the housing lots in front, side or back yards, or along the sidewalks.
7) Summary Tally: The following tally emerges as a very likely Significant Tree virtual clear-cut scenario.
Description: Sig. Trees Source:
Total Significant Trees on 9.9 acre Ventara site == 239 Prelim.Tree Preserv/Removal Plan
Less 75% authorized removal by FW Code (.75x239) == 179 FWC 22-1568 (c-Ia,b)
Minimum 25% to be retained by FW Code == 60 FWC 22-1568 (c-Ia,b;c-5)
1/2 of retain minimum replaced by mini-trees == 30 FWC 22-1568 (c-lg)
Net balance of Significant Tree Retention required by FW Code == 30

Trees Retained in Open Spaces 20 FWC 22-1568 (c-Ic,d)
Trees Retained in easements or house lots 10
Surplus of Significant Trees retained above absolute minimum of 30 = zero, i.e. Virtual Clear-cut.
8) It appears that such a virtual clear-cut could be done without technical violation of ~resent FW City
Code even though the spirit and intent of the code would, I believe, be violated. Extensive tree removal
could increase runoff into the detention pond, destabilize the slope and be inconsistent with the esthetic
character of exiSting contiguous subdivisions already surrounding Ventara.
9) From a non-resident developer perspective, the above is a good plan for the stripping of big, tall trees
that could get in the way of construction and pure sight-lines ITom 18 of the 25 lots narrow view lots
having widths of 75 feet or less. Such narrow lots make tree retention increasingly difficult as the large
houses and three car driveways, appropriate for such prime land, will consume much of the lot space. Such
severe cutting of trees could, however, actually lower the market value of the proposed 25 lots below that
achievable with an open forest theme offering views between stately mature trees interspersed among the
houses and along streets meandering (FWC 20-186c) around Significant Trees of special character or size.
10) If the City of Federal Way really wants to retain some of the ecological character and ambiance that
graces one of it's remaining second growth tree stands offered for residential development, the Community
Development Department and Public Works Department should re-review this Ventara Plan from the larger
and holistic point of view of the community at large and that of contiguous neighborhoods, not just press on
with the expedient desires of the developer. Federal Way needs to exercise some real control over this
particular project's tree retention plan including insisting on seeing plans now, that show what significant
Trees are left over after the houses are built and the three car driveways are in place on such narrow lots.
,
11) I suggest the following: Retaining a meaningful number of these magnificent mature trees will require a
strong desire to do so by both the Wellington Morris CoIporation (developer) and the City of Federal Way
Departments' of Community Development and Public Works. Agreeing on a concept that includes
meaningful numbers of Significant Trees being incoIporated into the design of residential lot landscaping
and the orientation ofhouseldriveway footprints on those lots will be a necessary part of achieving the
desired tree retention even if tree retention criteria has to be included in the subdivision covenants.
12) Only through finding a commonly acceptable development theme and concept that retains many more
of the Significant or unique trees than those allowed by statutory nùnimums, will the city retain some of it's
natural treasure and Ventara residents enjoy the special character of a neighborhood growing out of this
unique tall tree building site. One such concept could incoIporate an "open forest view" design where
residents look through tall Significant Trees in the foreground as they enjoy a scene that includes the distant
waters ofPuget Sound and sunsets over the Cascade Mountains. Such a concept could balance the
economic value and tax base realities of view property, together with the city's desire, (and that ofnearby
subdivision residents) to preserve their pacific northwest tall tree heritage. If you don't like this concept,
come up with another one, but keep trees in the concept detai/s.
13) MY APPEAL is that project designers and marketing people together with city departments all make a
concerted effort to find ways to retain existing Significant Trees by including them in the overall concept,
on each housing lot and along streets that are laid out to meander if necessary to make room for these
giants. Since planning is only in the preliminary stage, the time to act is now. To do otherwise would, in my
view, be a travesty of administrative neglect by the city, and missed marketing opportunity for the
developer. ~ - ,/' /A

8) It appears that such a virtual clear-cut could be done without technical violation of present FW City
Code even though the spirit and intent of the code would, I believe, be violated. Extensive tree removal
could increase runoff into the detention pond, destabilize the slope and be inconsistent with the esthetic
character of exišting contiguous subdivisions already surrounding Ventara.
9) From a non-resident developer perspective, the above is a good plan for the striPPÙlg of big, tall trees
that could get in the way of construction and pure sight-lines ITom 18 of the 25 lots narrow view lots
having widths of 75 feet or less. Such narrow lots make tree retention increasingly difficult as the large
houses and three car driveways, appropriate for such prime land, will consume much of the lot space. Such
severe cutting of trees could, however, actually lower the market value of the proposed 25 lots below that
achievable with an open forest theme offering views between stately mature trees interspersed among the
houses and along streets meandering (FWC 20-186c) around Significant Trees of special character or size.
10) If the City of Federal Way really wants to retain some of the ecological character and ambiance that
graces one of it's remaining second growth tree stands offered for residential development, the Community
Development Department and Public Works Department should re-reviewthis Ventara Plan from the larger
and holistic point of view of the community at large and that of contiguous neighborhoods, not just press on
with the expedient desires of the developer. Federal Way needs to exercise some real control over this
particular project's tree retention plan including insisting on seeing plans now, that show what significant
Trees are left over after the houses are built and the three car driveways are in place on such narrow lots.
II) I suggest the following: Retaining a meaningful number of these magnificent mature trees will require a
strong desire to do so by both the Wellington Morris Corporation (developer) and the City of Federal Way
Departments' of Community Development and Public Works. Agreeing on a concept that includes
meaningful numbers of Significant Trees being incorporated into the design of residential lot landscaping
and the orientation of house/driveway footprints on those lots will be a necessary part of achieving the
desired tree retention even if tree retention criteria has to be included in the subdivision covenants.
12) Only through finding a commonly acceptable development theme and concept that retains many more
of the Significant or unique trees than those allowed by statutory minimums, will the city retain some of it's
natural treasure and Ventara residents enjoy the special character ora neighborhood growing out of this
unique tall tree building site. One such concept could incorporate an "open forest view" design where
residents look through tall Significant Trees in the foreground as they enjoy a scene that includes the distant
waters ofPuget Sound and sunsets over the Cascade Mountains. Such a concept could balance the
economic value and tax base realities of view property, together with the city's desire, (and that ofnearby
subdivision residents) to preserve their pacific northwest tall tree heritage. If you don't like this concept,
come up with another one, but keep trees in the concept details.
13) MY APPEAL is that project designers and marketing people together with city departments all make a
concerted effort to find ways to retain existing Significant Trees by including them in the overall concept,
on each housing lot and along streets that are laid out to meander if necessary to make room for these
giants. Since planning is only in the preliminary stage, the time to act is now. To do otherwise would, in my
view, be a travesty of administrative neglect by the city, and missed marketing opportunity for the
developer. ~- ¿ß~,:- /~HIBIT~-f1,..... æ

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
Subject: Prel iminary Storm Drainage Design
Project: VENTANA
Location: Lakota Beach Area, (S.W.30Sth and 26th Ave S.W')
JAN 0 7 1998
Upon review of the above Storm Drainage Plan want to inform you about our
serious concerns/fears regarding this Plan.
I do not bel ieve the existing 26th Ave S.W runoff ditch and detention system
adjoining my property could handte any significant increase in flow withQut serious
problems to any adjoining and some downstream properties.
, The existing system is MARGINAL and We've had flooding probJems in the past. We
have spent many hours and lots of money keeping our property some what dry.
We questi on any increased of Runoff Flow to the exi sting system and do not agree
with the report that states: Runoff from the Westerly portion of the proposed
Development flows to the existing 26th Ave. S.W. ditch.
There is very little, if any runoff from the proposed project site, the major
source of water in the existing system is from the paved portion of 26th Ave.S.W.
Since my property is below and exposed to any added surface or runoff waters We
must object and repeat our concerns regarding increased Runoff Flows, open ditches
and questionable Downstream Analysis statements, such as :
(Runoff discharged from the western portion of the site wi enter the existing
roadside ditch on the east side of 26th Ave. SWJ
(The presence of the dispersal trench could not be determined and the direction of
flow from this point was not evident.).
Please record my objections not onìy to the City Planners but also to Wellington
Morris (VENTANA), and Mr. Miller at Pinnacle Engineering.

Deb Barker, Associate Planner

ref. Notice of Revised Land Use Application for Vantana Subdivision
Dear Associate Planner Barker:
My wife and I have some serious questions about the water drainage consequences for our property
that will occur if the Ventana Subdivision is built as planned. We are already experiencing run off
problems because of the nature of the glacial till and hard pan characteristics of the soil on the hill
behind our house. We note that the plan calls for a detention pond to the north of lot 28. This is
fine for the lots that drain to the west. Has the city of Federal Way determined that water will also
run east and south from lots 1-15 & lots 19-20?
The north west Detention Pond will be above a road that has a ditch whereas lots 1-8 will front back
yards of houses that have basements. What is the estimate of the total water runoff from roof sur-
faces of all of the house lots that I have mentioned? Please reconsider installing a detention pond for
Lot 8 and for part of Lot 1. Are you aware that the house just east of my house is in the middle of a
recently active stream bed and is placed on pilings?
Thanks for your consideration, .

Subject: Preliminary Storm Drainage Design Rev. 3-26-98

Location: Lakota Beach Area, (S.W.30Sth and 26th Ave S.W')
RECEIVED BY
COMMUNllY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
MAY 1 1 1998
Upon review of the above Storm Drainage Plan it is eviàent the plan considers only
costs and one of the many adjoining property owners. The revised report does
change the downstream flow from the Detention Tank on SVV 30SUì and adds piping
to the property owner giving the drainage pipe easement, but st i II exposes many
other properties to added surface water, infiltration and possible flood damage.
, I do not believe the existing Detention Tank is capabie of handling the flows that
wili occur, and not comfortable with the statement in the report (Appendix 0
affsite Detention Tank Analysis) that states [The reason the analysis preformed
shows the tank to be in the state of overflow is due to differences in modeiing
procedures], Please clarify.
The existing open ditches and culverts on SW 3CStn (priva:e road vvith easement)
are at rIsk of overflowing and wi!! increased inf:itrat1on of the soil area around us,
thus creating problems with adjoining and lower elevation properties. ref.( Photos
#2 thru 6)
The new proposed Westerly outfall to the 28th lwe SVI/ catchbasin seems inadequate
and subject to overflowing. The rev. proposal intends to add a 12" inlet pipe to the
existing catchbasin that already has (2)12" inlet pipes plus the Si..;rfacewater
runoff from 28th Ave SW into the basin, Piease note; the proposed outlet design is
only 12" dia., as are the (2) culverts across 28th Ave. SW j do ,~ot think the outlet
size pipes will be adequate?
As stated in my original letter of concern We've had fiood:n9 probiems in the past,
and have invested much time and money in developing our property.
Since our properties are below and exposed to these added waters We must object
and repeat our concerns regarding increased runoff/infiltration. ooen ditches and
questionable Downstream Analysis. .

I'm writing to you in regards to the Ventana Plat development currently
under consideration by the city of Federal Way. I am opposed to the
stated requirement of connecting 25th Ave SW from the ViewCliff side to
the 25th Ave SW in Ventana. I'm sure a variance could be e~voked by the
city in this matter.
The ViewC11ff neighborhood has been established for over thirty years and
at no time has the configuration of the streets posed a threat to the

Dear Mr. Moore:
I oppose the proposed connection of Ventena development and the 25th Avenue S.W.
cul-se sac in View Cliff.
There will be a negative impact on this small neighborhood of 52 residences as linking
View Cliff and Ventena development will increase the traffic and the potential for crime.
It is my understanding that the rationale for this change is to increase access for
emergency vehicles. However, the incidence of emergency vehicles is very low in this
small neighborhood and doesn't warrant loss oflivability of the area.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,

VENTANA SUBDIVISION/REVISED LAND USE APPLICATION
Dear Mr. Moore:
In comparing the Preliminary Plat of Ventana dated
September 1997 to the Plat attached to the revised Land Use
Application of April 1998, the following was noted:
On the April 1998 plat 25Th Avenue SW in Ventana is
shown connecting into 25Th Avenue SW in the existing View
Cliff development. The September 1997 plat was drawn with
25Th Avenue SW ending in ventana and not connecting into View
Cliff.
As you know, on March 3, 1998 the View Cliff residents
presented to the Federal Way city a petition signed by 97.67%
of the View Cliff residents requesting 25Th Avenue SW not be
connected into View Cliff. We are still firm in that desire.
View Cliff has been in existence since 1960. Access has
always been from SW 304Th Street ONLY and has never been a
problem. Access for emergency vehicles to View Cliff is not
a concern. There has been no access problem with only one
entrance for approximately 38 years and we have no concern
with it remaining so.
Being a city was proposed to the voters as giving us
more control over our lives. I ask you to please do not
connect 25Th Avenue SW from Ventana into View Cliff. This
would be an excellent time to demonstrate to the citizens we
DO have some control over our lives and property.

Re: Notice of Revised Land Use Application (Ventana Subdivision)
Dear Associate Planner Deb Barker:
After reviewing the Land Use Application we are quite concerned as to the potential drainage
problems the development would add to an already bad situation. On more than one occasion I
have been called home fÌom work to redirect (by siphoning) the rising water, caused by rain, fÌom
the back of our house to the fÌont and into the storm drain. Our property slopes up fÌom the back
of the house to the Northwest comer, this comer is approximately 40 feet fÌom the Southeast
comer of the Ventana Subdivision.
In the project description is the mention of "detention ponds" yet as we look at the drawings sent
for our review we find only one such pond. And that is in the far Northwest comer of the 10 acre
lot. Our concern is, how will this one detention pond help contain any additional drainage run off
caused by the development in the Southeast comer?
What we are asking for is that all issues are considered and in your review hearing someone asks
the question. "Are the property owners located adjacent to the Southeast comer, protected fÌom
additional run off caused by this development?" If the answer to this is yes then we would feel our
concerns have been addressed.
~ you,
~~\ \\~

Dear Sir:
Upon reviewing the subdivision VENT ANA , which is across the
street from my residence, I was pleased with the layout and
thought it would be a welcome addition to this quiet (almost
rural) Adelaide neighborhood. The revised proposal however, has
left me disillusioned and confused. The original plat plan
states, "Open Space Required--64,751 Square Feet". As I read the
revised plan it appears to me that the open space now proposed is
10,284 Square Feet. How can you allow less that the required
open space?
In paraphrasing the information I received after talking with
your office, I understand that you can "buy off" the open space
issue. This sounds an awful lot like what I would refer to as a
"payoff!" If indeed that is allowed in the city of Federal Way,
tell me how that benefits our immediate neighborhood by dollars
going into the parks department. Don't get me wrong. I indeed
support parks within the city. However, Federal Way was
incorporated because too many of we citizens were unhappy with
King County allowing too many buildings and no open spaces. Our
open space requirements were designed to protect us from that.
Now the city can choose to allow the developer to buy it off??
By whose authority? Don't we as citizens of Federal Way have any
say? I am indeed confused and disillusioned.
How can the planning commission decide what is best for a
neighborhood? Let's go by the REQUIREMENTS! Why set
requi~ements if we have no intent to use them? Or were they set
up as a revenue stream for the city parks department? I'm
confident that was not the intent of the original "open space"
requirements.
As a bit of history, It is my understanding that this parcel of
property was selected by King County and money appropriated to
purchase the whole said piece of property for open space. The
city of Federal Way chose to use that appropriated money to
assist in purchasing Palisades Retreat. Now we have digressed to
a mere 10,000 sq. ft. The size of one building lot. A good
example of our government working for us?
I welcome Ventana in it's original plan.

Please don't disappoint

Subject:
Ventana Development Eliminatiin of the 25th Ave. S.W.
Cul-De-Sac in View Cliff.
Dear Sir:
We are long time residence of View Cliff, one of the three original
families near the Cul-De-Sac on 25th Avenue S.W., over 30 years ago.
One of the factors in selecting this location was the added privacy
of the View Cliff development. Along with our neighbors, we are
concerned about the opening up of 25th Avenue S.W. into the Ventana
development. The gain of additiònal access to and from our home is
not preferable to our loss of privacy.
In addition, we are very concerned about lo§§ of some safety and
security by any added access to the neighborhood. This is a major
concern to us because of a recent experience.
We are the parents of the Des Moines police sargent and family
residing in Federal Way whose home was invaded, family threatened
at gun point and robbed by juveniles in February. We have first.
hand experience of the tramaand anxiety suffered by a family under
those circumstances. -
Until our society, law enforcement and judiciary do a better job of
protection, especially in our homes, we believe that the opèning up
of access to our street would significantly reduce the safety and
security to ourselves and neighbors. ...
We respectfully request you reconsider and cancel the plan to open
up 25th Avenue S.W. Cul-De-Sac into the Vent ana development- for the
reasons stated above. -
Sincerely,
æ4l~

Dear Mr. Moore:
We are writing this in response to the proposed Ventana development. We moved into
this area from Brown's Point five years ago. When we were driving around looking at
different areas, we immediately fell in love with the Viewcliff area. It is quiet and
protected. We wanted to raise our children in a neighborhood where they could rIde their
bikes and cross the street to play at their friends' houses. We waited for a house to go on
the market so we could move into this area. It is quiet and protected, and we enjoy living
here. We can see the water and all the birds, and eagles fly over our house regularly.
Up until recently, we have had no problems. We had someone break: into one of our cars
and a few other suspicious things go on that have given us some concern. We feel by
opening up our street with another development and all the extra cars and exposure will
only increase the crime in this area.
We are also concerned for our children. Our neighborhood is not one that is necessarily
suitable for fences the way the lots are laid out, etc. It will be dangerous for them to play
outside with all the extra traffic.
We strongly oppose this development connecting to our neighborhood. Please do not
allow this to happen.
Sincerely, /ì

Dear Mr. Watkins,
I am writing to you in your role as Chairman of the Land Use Planning Committee. There are
several comments in regards to the Ventana Subdivision that I feel are pertinent as you review this
project.
+
Equitable Distribution of Traffic - The proposed development allows access to
21st Avenue S.W. trom both 306th and 304th. It is essential to maintain this to
dissipate traffic as widely as possible. The appearance of elitism is prešent when
residents of306th try to retain the status of a dead-end street while expecting the
rest of us to absorb the impact of growth and traffic.
+
Proper Land Use - Land Us~Planning literature urges cities to avoid extensive use
of large cui de sacs and dead-end streets. Any changes to the proposed
development couItí alter this concept.
I purchased my home on 305th in 1978 and although I have since relocated I look forward to
returning to Federal Way. In 1978 the outlet for the proposed connection of 24th avenue and
S. W. 306th was present, I know having walked the neighborhood. Twenty years ago I believed
someday this road will have to be used when what is now the Ventana site is developed, a belief I
hold now more than ever. I find it hard to believe any resident of306th could have bought their
home not knowing additional access was a possibility.
Since the opportunity to acquire this parcel as open space slipped through the hands of
govemnlent several years ago, please make sure the burden of growth is spread equitably.
Sincer~ly,- ~
IJd/L(J.[ . rM

Dear Mr. Moore:
As a property owner, taxpayer and voter residing in view
Cliff I object to the connection of 25Th Ave SW from the
proposed Ventana Subdivision with 25Th Ave SW in view Cliff.
25Th Ave SW in view Cliff is a low traffic street with
only local traffic which affords quiet, a measure of privacy
and security. For many residents the fact View Cliff has
~nly one entry point was a great factor in moving here.
The View Cliff owners petition presented to the ci ty
Council on March 03, 1998 reflected 98% of the View Cliff
residents do not want the street connected from Ventana into
view Cliff.
We respectfully request 25Th Avenue SW be allowed to

Dear Mr. Moore:
As a property owner, taxpayer and voter residing in view
Cliff I object to the connection of 25Th Ave SW from the
pro~soo Ventana s~ivision with 25~ ~ ~ in Vi~ Cliff.
25Th Ave SW in view Cliff is a loW traffic street with
only local traffic which affords quiet, a measure of privacy
and security. For many residents the fact View Cliff has
only one entry point was a great factor in moving here.
The view Cliff owners petition presented to the ci ty
council on March 03, 1998 reflected 98% of the view Cliff
residents do not want the street connected from Ventana into
view Cliff.
We respectfully request 25Th Avenue SW be allowed to
remain a cul-de-sac in View Cliff and not be connected with

Subject: Ventana Residential Project, widening 304th,
Dear Ms. Barker,
As a neighbor of Adelaide school, I have some concerns regarding the widening of SW
304th S1. from 19th PI SW to the parking entrance to the school as follows:
1) The proposed pedestrian path along the south side ofthe street and adjacent to the
side of my property on the north side of the street will increase the impervious surface
area on a street that is inadequately designed to handle large amounts of surface water
that drains to the north. It is obvious that the path needs to be on the south side for the
safety of the children walking directly to the school, however, it seems that 8 feet of
walkway is excessive in a residential area where the standard walkway in most cities is 5
ft, Consideration should be given to reduce the width of the path to perhaps 6.5 ft.,
which is not uncommon, along 304th from 19th because of runoff problems, especially
since you will be reducing the width in other areas.
2) More critical than the runoff from surface water with the street widening is the
possibility of massive runoff from the school parking area if the present drainage system
is altered. Years ago water would run off the school lot and erode my property. A survey
showed that the county had built the storm drain 3 to 4 feet on my property (see attached
PLS survey report). I allowed them to leave the pipe in place rather than impact the
public with the cost of reconstruction if they would take care of the water problem. They
did this by placing an asphalt benn along my property and installing two catch basins,
recently labeled #1 and #2 by Wellington-Morris survey crews. Also the School District
added another on their property. When installing the catch basin on the school property,
which drains to the two on 304th, the contractor built an extruded concrete curb to catch
the flow from the lot. The curb was deliberately built without an opening to allow the
curb to act as a weir when the inlet plugsJallowing clear water to flow to the downstream
basins. It does not take long, however, to plug Catch Basins #1 and #2. From the above
description, it is critical how the pedestrian path is designed to tie into the school without
allowing water to flow down 304th to my property and then other neighbors to the west
Long tenn solutions would require a better system to handle the water on the parking lot.
Under today,s standards a detention pond would be required.

walkway is excessive in a residential area where the standard walkway in most cities is 5
ft. Consideration should be given to reduce the width of the path to perhaps 6.5 ft.,
which is not uncommon, along 304th from 19th because of runoff problems, especially
since you will be reducing the width in other areas.
2) More critical than the runoff from surface water with the street widening is the
possibility of massive runoff from the school parking area if the present drainage system
is altered. Years ago water would run off the school lot and erode my property. A survey
showed that the county had built the stonn drain 3 to 4 feet on my property (see attached
PLS survey report). I allowed them to leave the pipe in place rather than impact the
public with the cost of reconstruction if they would take care of the water problem. They
did this by placing an asphalt benn along my property and installing two catch basins,
recently labeled #1 and #2 by Wellington-Mon'Ïs survey crews. Also the School District
added another on their property. When installing the catch basin on the school property,
which drains to the two on 304th, the contractor built an extruded concrete curb to catch
the flow from the lot The curb was deliberately built without an opening to allow the
curb to act as a weir when the inlet plugsJallowing clear water to flow to the downstream
basins. It does not take long, however, to plug Catch Basins #1 and #2. From the above
description, it is critical how the pedestrian path is designed to tie into the school without
allowing water to flow down 304th to my property and then other neighbors to the west.
Long tenn solutions would require a better system to handle the water on the parking lot.
Under today,s standards a detention pond would be required. , ',' ' r,

3) Because of the site distance problem traveling f<tm the east to the west at the
intersection of 18th PI and SW 304th, I believe a stop sign should be placed on the
northeast comer.
Your attentión to these matters would be appreciated. I would like to be a party of record
on future decisions. Also, I believe because of my understanding of the problems in the
area and the fact that I am an engineer with the City of Kent responsible for these kinds
of challenges, I would be happy to meet on site or otherwise assist the city or developer's
engineer with possible solutions.

The Responsible Official of the City of Federal Way hereby makes the following Findings of
Fact based upon impacts identified in the Environmental Checklist; the Final Staff Evaluation for
Environmental Checklist; Federal Way File No. SEP 97-0036; Conclusions of Law based upon
the 1995 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan; and other policies, plans, rules, and regulations
designated as a basis for exercise of substantive authority under the Washington State
Environmental Policy Act Rules pursuant to RCW 43.21C.060.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1.
The proposed action is to subdivide a 9.9 acres into 28 single family lots. There are steep
slopes in the western portion of the site.
The 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual will apPl/t6t3~l¡n-l~~~...e

A October--17, 1997 (revised August 14, 1998), Preliminary Storm Drainage Report
prepared by Pinnacle Engineering, Inc., addressed existing conditions and provided drainage
system design recommendations for the proposed development. The report was reviewed by
the Federal Way Public Works Department to verify the proposed drainage system will be
designed in accordance with all applicable Core and Special requirements outlined in the
1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM).
4.
The site is located in the Central Lower Puget Sound drainage basin. There are four distinct
drainage basins on the subject site. In a September 15, 1998 letter, the applicant requested a
modification to divert portions ofthe basins. This request was reviewed as a complex
variance request by the Surface Water Division for compliance with the KCSWDM
standards, and approved subject to conditions in an October 1, 1998, letter from-the Public
Works Director.
5.
This project will be required to construct roadway improvements for SW 304th Street, 24th
Avenue SW, and 25th Avenue SW as per the 1995 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan
(FWCP) and as per the Federal Way City Code (FWCC). Pedestrian connections from the
subject site to Adelaide Elementary School will be inSÌfllled along the south side of SW
304th Street in accordance with FWCC Section 22-156(a).
6.
The February 27, 1988 ( revised August 17, 1998), Geotechnicial Report, prepared by Terra
Associates, Inc., contains specific recommendations and conclusions for the proposed
development, including site preparation and grading of the subject site. In an August 18,
1998 letter, the applicant reiterated the importance of a balanced cut and fill'program
through mass grading of the subject site. Supplemental geotechnicial analysis and.
recommendations may be required by the Public Works Director or Building Official, as
allowed by the FWCC, during development of the site.
7.
The subject site contains 239 significant trees, 210 of which are proposed to be removed
with the grading of the subject site for the installation of roadways and utilities. Trees
proposed for retention should be protected by placement within a Native Growth Protection
Easement (NGPE).
8.
There is an eagle nest approximately 2,000 feet north ofthe subject site. Eagles have been
observed perching in trees at the subject site, and would be expected to continue using the
site, according to a March 19, 1998, report prepared by Terra Associates. One or two
replacement trees, four to six feet in height, are recommended to be planted in each lot as
part of the landscaping scheme for the deve1opmel1t. .

The applicant will dedicate 10,284 square feet of land for constrained and buffer open space,
and will provide a fee in lieu of to address the balance of the required open space. The fee
shall be paid before the final plat is approved.
10. The applicant requested mass regrading of the subject site for lot development to achieve a
balanced cut and fill program and to reduce construction related vehicular traffic impacts.
Without the mass grading, building sites would be broken up, access would be awkward,
and off-site construction traffic would increase. The request was approved subject to
engineering plan review.
11. The final staff evaluation for Environmental Checklist, Federal Way Application Number
SEP97-0036 is hereby incorporated by reference as though set forth in full.

Ventana preliminary Plat
Federal Way File No: SEP97-0036, Related File No: SUB97-0003
Dear Mr. Moore:
The homeowners of ViewCliff do hereby appeal paragraph 5 of
the City of Federal Way's MDNS, dated October 16,1998.
Our specific objection is to what the MDNS refers to in
paragraph 5 as "roadway improvements for 25th Avenue SW." We
do not consider connecting 25th Avenue SW from Ventana to
View Cliff to be an improvement or desirable and appeal this
decision in the strongest manner.
Connectivity of neighborhoods was not the reason the majority
of owners in ViewCliff had as a priority when we purchased
our property & many of the owners have been here since the
early 1960's. Conversely, security, privacy, quiet, a safe
neighborhood for children & limited access were some of our
reasons for establishing homes in viewcliff. Connecting
25th Avenue SW from Ventana to Viewcliff will destroy the
very atmosphere we came here to enjoy.
wi thin the past month a Meth house was discovered eight
blocks directly south of Viewcliff. We have no desire for
additional connectivity and strongly oppose it. Connectivity
will reduce our neighborhoods liviability & we do not desire
more circulation of traffic in our small neighborhood.
As you know, we filed a petition with the Federal Way City
Council on March 03, 1998 and made an oral appeal at that
meeting. We have met with Ms. Deb Barker, Assistant Planner,
- Mr. Rick Perez, Traffic Engineer, Mr. Cary Roe, Public Works
.Director in several meetings at City Hall with our protests
& appeal. Our objection to the connection of 25th Avenue SW
is strong and ongoing.

We ask for relief of imposition of the Federal way city Code,
section 20.151, Subdivision design. Specifically, we ask
that the existing 25th Avenue SW cul-de-sac in viewCliff be
made permanent. We additionally ask that SW 304th street
never be extended from 24th Avenue SW to 25th Avenue SW on
the ViewCliff-Ventana border & wording to that effect be
placed in the city's records.
Mr. Rick Perez, Traffic Engineer mentions extending SW 304th
street is a possibility in his review of our petition sent to
Ms. Deb Barker on March 09,1998. He lists this on page two
of his review under section 20-151, Subdivision design,
paragraph (f).
Mr. Perez closes his review of our petition with this
summary: "The proposed street layout of the Ventana
subdivision is consistent with existing codes and
comprehensive Plan goals and policies."
As stated 97% of the residents of ViewCliff do not want this
connectivity into Ventana on 25th Avenue SW & we ask for
relief of the existing codes, Comprehensive Plan goals and
policies which were written after Federal Way became a city.
When Cityhood was being pushed we were told if we became a
City we would have more input into how our lives and property
would be governed. We now have Cityhood and we ask the City
council to make good on that promise to respect our wishes
and we ask for relief on the 25th Avenue Connection with the
Ventana subdivision, as well as never extending 304th SW from
24th Avenue SW to 25th Avenue SW between ViewCliff and
Ventana.

expressed concern for a nesting pair of eagles in the area, which is commendable,
but it has ignored the rest of a diverse ecosystem that exists in this building site.
We understand that groWth in thèFederal Way area is inevitable, but squeezing every
last bit of possible space out of every existing site is. irresponsible and the impact on
the community will be irreversible. The contractor's desire to obtain the maximum
possible return on this project must be weighed against the needs and concerns of the
community and the City. In balancing these two positions your department must be
forward looking and not concentrate on short term gains. When this project is complete,
the local residents and the City of Federal way will be left with any negative
consequences which result from this proposal if it is accepted as presented. Federal
Way is growing at a rate well beyond the ability of its infrastructure to support the
growth and we strongly recommend that the Department of Community Development
Services take the time to reconsider this proposal. We will all have to live with this
decision for a long time.

Dear Mr. Moore:
We are extremely concerned about the quality of life in Federal Way being lessened drastically by both
increased traffic and destruction of wildlife habitats. A prime example of this is the building proposed in
the Ventana area. -
We are opposed to the destruction of an oasis for wildlife in this area. The proposed replanting of some
.. six foot high evergreens does not come close to what is needed to sustain the present animal populations-
fox, owls, and other indigenous animals cannot relocate in an area of pavement and houses. The nearby
bald eagles cannot rest upon a six foot high Douglas fir, nor find food in that suburban setting. Once the
bulldozing is done, we have lost those treasures forever. It is disturbing to see that money is setting the
fate for us, rather than foresight, futuristic planning, and reasonable environmental awareness.
Not having the power to stop this development, the next concern is the connection of 25th A venue SW
from Ventana to View Cliff. As concerned citizens, living in the View Cliff area, we have signed
petitions to not let that street be joined. Aren't we, the people, supposed to be able to effect decision
making in our city? Those of us who reside here are well aware of increased traffic problems with the
few new homes which have recently been built near here. With the new development being one of many
houses being built close together, the population density is going to cause many problems which will
need to be faced, including security, congestion, and safety for our children.
There is environmental significance to this development project. There is significance to the effect on
quality of life in Federal Way. We hope that our city leaders will reconsider the current plan regarding the
Ventana development.

Dear Mr. Moore
My purpose in writing to you is to object, in the strongest possible terms, to
connection of the Viewcliff neighborhood to the new Ventana development
through 25th AVE SW.
I can find no advantage in extending a dead-end street two blocks to another
dead-end. A modification which is opposed by 97% of neighborhood residence.
It seems that this plan to destroy the Viewcliff neighborhood, as we know it, is
being pursued to satisfy a "post city-hood" regulation which was written without
regard for the uniquely individual character of neighborhoods like Viewcliff.
Rather than retaining this character, this regulation destroys neighborhoods and
promotes the urban sprawl we all want to avoid. Is the mindless destruction of
neighborhoods like Viewcliff really what being a city is all about? I think not!
May I suggest an alternate course? Make the existing cul-de-sac at the end of
25th AVE SW a permanent feature of the Viewcliff neighborhood. In addition,
wording should be added to city records such that SW 304th will never be
extended from 24th AVE SW to 25th AVE SW on the Viewcliff-Ventana border.
These changes will promote security, safety, privacy, and help to limit the
continuous circulation of traffic. In short, these changes will help retain the

Subject: Mitigated Environmental Detennination of Nonsignificance
Reference: Ventana Preliminary Plat Objections:
Federal Way file No. SEP97-0036, Related File No.: SUB97-0003
The resident neighbors to the development project described in the subject proposal would
like to raise an objection to the subject proposal. Changes have been have been made
which are significantly different from the subject proposal. Additionally other
environmental issues are not acceptably addressed. The following are some, but not all of
the objections we are hereby presenting.
1. The Findings of Fact item number 7 in the present proposal is significantly different
than that was previously identified and documented by the City of Federal Way. There
was a requirement to retain 25% of the evergreen trees on the plat. The present change
allows for a retention of only 12% of the significant trees. Concerns were originally
presented to the Community Development Services Department questioning whether
the 25% figure would be adequate due to environmental impacts. It is again reiterated
that this area is located on a bluff and that removal of these evergreens increase
potential property and bodily hann from falling trees. Planting one or two trees, six foot
in height per plot hardly offers any kind of a buffer zone for 15 or 20 years.
2. There is concern that adequate protection will not be provided for the number of
Eagles seen perching if not nesting on the site. Additionally there are several old
growth trees which can never be replaced if removed.
3. Improvements to only 304th Street and 25th Avenue SW are identified. There is concern
that other streets in the neighbor will be affected by the change, but will not receive any
compensation. TIús would include 306th PI. and 24th Avenue SW.

Federal Way, WA 98003
Dear Sir:
Upon reviewing the subdivision VENTANA, which is across the
street from my residence, I was pleased with the layout and
thought it would be a welcome addition to this quiet (almost
rural) Adelaide neighborhood. The revised proposal however, has
left me disillusioned and confused. The original plat plan
states, "Open Space Required--64,751 Square Feet". As I read the
revised plan it appears to me that the open space now proposed is
10,284 Square Feet. How can you allow less that the required
open space?
In paraphrasing the information I received after talking with
your office, I understand that you can "buy off" the open space
issue. This sounds an awful lot like what I would refer to as a
"payoff!" If indeed that is allowed in the city of Federal Way,
tell me how that benefits our immediate neighborhood by dollars
going into the parks department. Don't get me wrong. I indeed
support parks within the city. However, Federal Way was
incorporated because too many of we citizens were unhappy with
King County allowing too many buildings and no open spaces. Our
open space requirements were designed to protect us from that.
Now the city can choose to allow the developer to buy it off??
By whose authority? Don't we as citizens of Federal Way have any'
say? I am indeed confused and disillusioned.
How can the planning commission decide what is best for a
neighborhood? Let's go by the REQUIREMENTS! Why set
requirements if we have no intent to use them? Or were they set
up as a revenue stream for the city parks department? I'm
confident that was not the intent of the original "open space"
requirements.
As a bit of history, It is my understanding that this parcel of
property was selected by King County and money appropriated to
purchase the whole said piece of property for open space. The
city of Federal Way chose to use that appropriated money to
assist in purchasing Palisades Retreat. Now we have digressed to
a mere 10,000 sq. ft. The size of one building lot. A good
example of our government working for us?
I welcome Ventana in it's original plan.
me.
Please don't disappoint

. Dear Mr. Moore:
I am writing in response to the Mitigated Environmental Determination of
Nonsignificance for the Ventana Preliminary Plat, Federal Way File: SEP97-
~. -
I find fault with the decision of nonsignificance for the Ventana Plat. The area
is characterized by mature and old growth trees and composes high-quality
habitat for indigenous lowland forest species. As noted in the determination
. letter, the site is presently used by eagles for roosting. A pair of red pileated
. woodpeckers also forage in the site and may nest there. I've frequently
observed a breeding pair of northern goshawk foraging on the site. I
frequently hear owls hooting from trees within the Ventana site. The site is
also home to a healthy population of Ensatina salamanders.
These are just species that I've identified from casual observation.
Undoubtedly, others would turn up from a systematic biological survey.
The presence of these species suggests that the site is high-quality forest
. habitat, an increasingly precious resource in Federal Way these days.
City Policy NE-l aims to "protect and restore environmental quality through
land use plans, surface water management plans and programs,
comprehensive park plans, and development review."
Policy NE-2 aims to "preserve and restore ecological functions and enhance
natural beauty by encouraging community development and site planning
that maintains and complements natural land forms."
. The Ventana subdivision decision does not reflect these policies as the
. subdivision would almost entirely eliminate the present forest habitat. Wlùle

Ventana Subdiuision (
G
October 3D, 1998
Becàuse of the presence of a number of state candidate species (red pileated
woodpeckers and northern goshawks), the Ventana Plat merits attention as a
Priority Habitat under the state's Priority Habitat Program. This is a voluntary
program through wlúch the state Department of Fish and Wilàlife make
available their biologists and expertise to help local governments protect
, wildlife habitat in developments such as this.,
Preserving some of this habitat ,is especially important since the Ventana plat
sits between the forested wetland in Poverty Bay Park to the North and an
unnamed wetland to the northeast on the corner of S. 304th Street and 21st
Avenue Southwest. Maintaining a strip of habitat between the two sites
would preserve a travel corridor for species using the two wetlands.
The City proposes an alternative tree planting scheme that would concentrate
planting of young trees 4 to 6 years old in a strip along the site's northern
. edge. This isa well-intentioned idea, but doesn't go far enough and likely
won't have the intended effects. The trees are intended to serve as roosting
areas for bald eagles, but adult eagles certainly won't use such small trees. It
would be a matter of decades before those young trees reach the size and
structure that would afford eagle roosting.
Mature trees must be retained if they are to be of any perching use for bald
eagles; the same goes for northern goshawks.
¡
~
The City has chosen to accept payment from. the developer in lieu of
, requiring the full fifteen percent open space requirement for the subdivision
(per Section 20-155, subsection B, subdivisión design). I strongly disagree with
this decision and believe it's not in the be~t' interest of the surrounding
neighborhoods. This forest has served as open space, providing recreational,
esthetic, and wildlife habitat for this community since its inception. I know
this fact well, since my family was the first to move into the View Cliff
neighborhood and I've lived my entire life here. There's no escaping the fact
that the Ventana development will greatly change the nature of the area.
Retaining the full measure of open space targeted under the city code, will
,help lessen the negative impacts on the surrounding community, though,
Moreover, by retaining the full fifteen percent in open space, preferably as an
intact bloc of habitat in its natural state, the development would provide for
some wildlife habitat and lessen the impact on surrounding wildlife. This
effect would be enhanced if the open space were concentrated against the
unimproved right-of-way at the site's northern end,
I object to the proposed connection of the Ventana Subdivision to 25th
Avenue Southwest. Many of the resident;.<; ofYiew Cliff are already concerned
, about traffic, crime, and safety and feel that connecting Ventana to View Cliff.

Traffic engineer Rick Perez in his review of the residents' petition opposing

. Having lived here for 34 years and having used these streets both as a child

I ask that the determination of non-significance be reversed based oil the fact

mitigation for these species.
I ask that the allowance of reduced open space percentage be reversed, and

Dear Patrick and Sean Redmond:
Thank you for your comment letter regarding the city's environmental determination for the
preliminary plat of Ventana. The following information is provided in response to the
comments and concerns expressed in your letter.
1.
Grading - The preliminary plat of Ventana was submitted on October 17, 19'98 as a 25
lot subdivision with four open space tracts. On March 28, 1998, the developer
modified the application to propose a 28 lot subdivision with one open space tract. The
balance of the open space is to be paid via fee- in-lieu-of providing the open space on.
site in accordance with the Federal Way City Code (FWCC) section 20-155(b)
(enclosed).
Mass grading is reviewed under the Federal Way subdivision code. In the case of
Ventana, the mass grading request presented by the developer is being reviewed by city
staff and if approved by City Council will be subject to engineering plan review. The
open space tract and other areas are to be omitted from the mass grading. Staff
considers some level of mass grading of the site reasonable because of the site's
topography, existing and proposed roadway configurations, location of existing and
proposed utilities, and to reduce construction related impacts. A reduced scale map of
the preliminary clearing and grading plan is enclosed.
2.
Drainage - To clarify, your property lies east of the proposed plat of Vent ana, in the plat
of Adelaide Park.
The proposed plat of Vent ana is required to be designed in accordance with the 1990 King
County Surface Water Management Manual (KCSWDM), and in conformance with
conditions imposed by the Public Works Director.
At this time, a surface water variance request to modify drainage basins has been granted
by the Public Works Director subject to conditions. Condition number I from the
approved surface water variance request states "The flow rates from the southeast basin,
northeast basin and northwest basin in the developed condition need to be analyzed. The
peak discharge rates from above three basins for the 2-year and la-year 7-day design
storm events in the developed condition have to be equal or less than the peak discharge

Comments to the Mitigated Detennination of Nonsignificance
Dear Mr. Kure, Ms. Ray and Mr. Jones:
Thank you for your comment letter dated October 26, 1998 regarding the city's environmental
determination for the preliminary plat of Ventana.
As was previously discussed with you in meetings with staff, and in a written response from
Rick Perez, dated March 9, 1998 (enclosed), the proposed subdivision does meet the
comprehensive plan requirements for street connectivity and access. Connectivity was also
considered with the approved plat of Viewcliff No.2, and 25th Avenue SW is identified on the
approved plat with a "temporary tum-a-round to become void on extension of 25th Ave SW".
" The city has taken your comments into consideration. However, your letter dated October 26,
1998, does not raise any new information indicating the proposal's probable significant adverse
environmental impacts that were not previously disclosed. As the City's responsible
environmental official, I have determined that your comments have been adequately addressed
by the environmental checklist and the City's evaluation. Therefore no modifications to the
current mitigated determination of nonsignificance are warranted at this time.
,
The initial Mitigated Determination of Non Significance (MDNS) is now the city's final
decision. Any person aggrieved of the City's final determination must file an appeal with the
City by 5:00 pm, November 13, 1998, pursuant to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) section
18-51 (enclosed). Appeal provisions for the above referenced State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) are outlined in the enclosed handout. SEPA appeal fees are $70.00 and are
nonrefundable.
Your letter dated October 26, 1998 stated that "the homeowners of Viewcliff hereby appeal
paragraph 5 of the City of Federal Way's MDNS". Please be advised that to consider your
letter a valid appeal by code, the provisions of FWCC Section 18-51 must be met. Please refer
to the appeal handout and the process ~V handout for requirements.

Proposal: Subdivision of a 9.9 acre Lot in 28 Single Family Lots.
Property between SW 304th and SW 306th street~, at 24th Ave. SW Avenue
and at 25th Avenue SW.
For Those Concerned:
In this letter I would like to pass along information I received from
Marie Reed (now deceased), who had gathered much information of early
history here in the Federal Way area.
Talking with her about the Burt House Plat, which borders our neighbor-
hood, she once told me that there were b~rial plots in the Burt House Plat.
She thought they were burial plots of the family that originally owned the
land, or could even be Indian burial sites.
Because the land is thickly covered with trees, making it a water shed
source, and a protection for land erosion, does stripping the land create
an underground water seepage problem for h~mes located below the develoþment1
. ' .-
EXtending 25th Avenue SW into the development will cover underground
electrical, television and telephone cables that come up from the Lakota
area.
It is sad that the last remaining stand of virgin trees here in Fedezral
Way xs coming to end with this beautiful gift from Nature.
In sadness, ,

Ventana Development Eliminati~n of the 25th Ave. S.W.
Cul-De-Sac in View Cliff.
Dear Sir:
We are long time residence of View Cliff, one of the three original
families near the Cul-De-Sac on 25th Avenue S.W., over 30 years ago.
One of the factors in selecting this location was the added privacy
of. the View Cliff development. ,Along with our neighbors, we are
concerned about the opening up of 25th Avenue S.W. into the Ventana
development. The gain of additiònal access to and from our home is
not preferab~e to our loss of priv~cy. -:
In aqd~tion, we are very concerned about loss of some safety and
security by any added access to the neighborhood. This is a major
concern to us 'because of a recent experience.
We are the parents of the Des Moines police sargent and family
residing in Federal .Way whose hôme was invaded, family threatened
at gun point and c~obbed by juveniles in February. We have first
hand' experience óf the trama and anxiety suffered by a family under
those circumstances.
Until our society, law enforcement and judiciary do a better job of
protection, especially in our homes, we believe ,that the opening up
of access to our street would significantly reduce the safety and
'. security to ourselves and neighbors.
'We respectfully request you reconsider arid' cancel the plan to open
up 25th Avenue S.W. Cul-De-Sac into the Ventana development for the
reasons stated above.

Subject: Vent ana Development Elimination of the 25th Ave
S.W. cul-de-sac in ViewCliff
Dear Mr. Moore:
We understand that the City of Federal Way is not going to honor
the requests of the ViewCliff residents to maintain the 25th Ave
S.W. cul-de-sac. We have previously expressed our concerns in
the enclosed letter. We have some first hand personal security
concerns because of our son's family recent home invasion here
in Federal Way.
,We are very disappointed that our city management is not listen-
ing to specific neighborhood requests. We have not been shown
why it is necessary for big brother to impose on our neighborhood
and change which has been working well for over 30 years. This
is another example why citizens can be disenchanted with govern-
ment bureaucracy ignoring their requests.
Respectfully,

We ask for relief of imposition of the Federal Way city Code,
Section 20.151, Subdivision design. Specifically, we ask
that the existing 25th Avenue SW cul-de-sac in ViewCliff be.
made permanent. We additionally ask that SW 304th street
never be extended from 24th Avenue SW to 25th Avenue SW on
the ViewCliff-Ventana border & wording to that effect be
placed in the City's records.
Mr. Rick Perez, Traffic Engineer mentions extending SW 304th
street is a possibility in his review of our petition sent to
Ms. Deb Barker on March 09, 1998. He lists this on page two
of his review under section 20-151, Subdivision design,
paragraph (f).
Mr. Perez closes his review of our petition with this
summary: "The proposed street layout of the Ventana
subdivision is consistent with existing codes and
Comprehensive Plan goals and policies."
As stated 97% of the residents of ViewCliff do not want this
connectivity into Ventana on 25th Avenue SW & we ask for
relief of the existing codes, Comprehensive Plan goals and
policies which were written after Federal Way became a city.

When Cityhood was being pushed we were told if we became a
City we would have more input into how our lives and property
would be governed. We now haveCityhood and we ask the City

MITIGATED ENVIRONMENTAL
DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE
(MONS)
Ventana preliminary Plat
Federal Way File No: SEP97-0036, Related File No: SUB97-0003
Dear Mr. Moore:
The homeowners of ViewCliff do hereby appeal paragraph 5 of
the city of Federal Way's MDNS, dated October 16, 1998.
Our specific objection is to what the MONS refers to in
paragraph 5 as "roadway improvements for 25th Avenue SW." We
do not consider connecting 25th Avenue SW from Ventana to
View Cliff to be. an improvement or desirable and appeal this
decision in the strongest manner.
Connectivity of neighborhoods was not the reason the majority
of owners in ViewCliff had as a priority when we purchased
our property & many of the owners have been here since the
early 1960's. Conversely, security, privacy, quiet, a safe
neighborhood for children & limited access were some of our
reasons for establishing homes in viewcliff. Connecting
25th Avenue SW from Ventana to Viewcliff will destroy the
very atmosphere we came here to enjoy.
Within the past month a Meth house was discovered eight
blocks directly south of Viewcliff. We have no desire for
additional connectivity and strongly oppose it. Connectivity
will reduce our neighborhoods liviability & we do not desire
more .circulation of traffic in our small neighborhood.
As you know, we filed a petition with the Federal Way city
Council on March 03, 1998 and made an oral appeal at that
meeting. We have met with Ms. Deb Barker, Assistant Planner,
Mr. Rick Perez, Traffic Engineer, Mr. Cary Roe, Public Works
Director in several meetings at City Hall with our protests
& appeal. Our objection to the connection of 25th Avenue SW
is strong and ongoing:

Dear Mr. Moore:
As a homeowner in the ViewCliff development, I try to keep myself informed as to how the
Vantana plat plan is proceeding. I read the recent correspondence sent to you by Robert Jones,
Dale Kurr and Dianne Ray regarding this issue. I agree that connecting 25 Avenue SW from
Vantana to ViewCliff and extending SW 3O4th Street from 24th Avenue SW to 25 Avenue SW is
not an improvement to our neighborhood.
We bought our house in VtewCliff because the limited access provides privacy and it is safe
place for our children to play. We agree that the proposed changes would have an adverse
affect on this privacy and safety.
In addition, I am concerned about the percentage of land that is being set aside for parks in the
Vantana development and the benefits to our neighborhood.
Respectfully,

RE:
SEP 97-0036, Prelúninary Plat of Ventana,
Comments on the Mitigated Detennination of Nonsignificance
Dear Patrick and Sean Redmond:
Thank you for your comment letter regarding the city's environmental determination for the
preliminary plat of Ventana. The following information is provided in response to the
comments and concerns expressed in your letter.
1.
Grading - The preliminary plat of Ventana was submitted on October 17, 19'98 as a 25
lot subdivision with four open space tracts. On March 28, 1998, the developer
modified the application to propose a 28 lot subdivision with one open space tract. The
balance of the open space is to be paid via fee- in-lieu-of providing the open space on 0
site in accordance with the Federal Way City Code (FWCC) section 20-155(b)
(enclosed).
Mass grading is reviewed under the Federal Way subdivision code. In the case of
Ventana, the mass grading request presented by the developer is being reviewed by city
staff and if approved by City Council will be subject to engineering plan review. The
open space tract and other areas are to be omitted from the mass grading. Staff
considers some level of mass grading of the site reasonable because of the site's
topography, existing and proposed roadway configurations, location of existing and
proposed utilities, and to reduce construction related impacts. A reduced scale map of
the preliminary clearing and grading plan is enclosed.
2.
Drainage - To clarity, your property lies east of the proposed plat of Vent ana, in the plat
of Adelaide Park.
The proposed plat of Ventana is required to be designed in accordance with the 1990 King
County Surface Water Management Manual (KCSWDM), and in conformance with
conditions imposed by the Public Works Director.
At this time, a surface water variance request to modifY drainage basins has been granted
by the Public Works Director subject to conditions. Condition number 1 fro'm the
approved surface water variance request states "The flow rates from the southeast basin,
northeast basin and northwest basin in the developed condition need to be analyzed. The
peak discharge rates from above three basins for the 2-year and 10-year 7-day design
storm events in the developed condition have to be equal or less than the peak discharge

rates in the existing condition for the same basin and the same design storm event. \I
This condition is a re-statement of the code requirement £Tom the 1990 King County
Surface Water Management Manual as well as the Draft Executive Proposed Basin Plan
Hylebos Creek and Lower Puget Sound. Please be advised that the project is currently
being reviewed by the City's Surface Water Management Division for compliance with the
above condition as well as other requirements of the FWCC and KCSWDM codes.
Preliminary plat engineering plans prepared by Pinnacle Engineering dated July, 1998
depict a proposed 20' drainage easement on the east side of the site which would tightline
the storm water £Tom the houses on lots 1 through 8 to the northeast comer of the subject
site into an underground infiltration system. A rockery is proposed on the eastern lot line
of the Ventana Plat with a maximum height of 8 feet shown.
You query as to who is going to be responsible for any drainage damage to the existing
homes now and in the future. In response, the current condition of the drainage is that it
flows ITom the eastern side of the site in an easterly direction. The applicant will be
required to document that proposed drainage system discharges are equal or less than the
peak discharge rates in the existing condition for the same basin and the same design
storm event. The project must be constructed to meet the current Federal Way code
standards.
You also ask if the City is going to accept any liability for drainage now and in the future.
In response, the City of Federal Way is the reviewing agency only. The developer is
proposing the project. The liability for the drainage presently is a civil issue between two
private property owners. The liability for the drainage in the future will also be a civil issue
between two private property owners.
3.
Fence encroachment - You ask who is responsible for removal and replacement of the
fence. In response, the fencing issue is again a civil matter as it (the fence) sits on
private property.
4.
Eagle perching/tree replacement - A June 26, 1997 Wildlife Study/Eagle Assessment
was prepared by Terra Associates. It indicated that eagles reside approximately 2,000
feet north of the subject site in the large unimproved park site. The study states that
eagles may perch in the trees of the subject site.
According to the Eagle Assessment dated July 9, 1998, retention and/or replacement of
significant trees and vegetation, as well as incorporation of street trees and buffer open
space into subdivision design, will help mitigate the introduction of human activities on
wildlife habitat. Open space provided for the site is in the form of 10,284 square feet of
constrained and buffer open space a~. defined by the FWCC. The 11 matufrees -H - ~

retained'in this tract will provide eagle perching habitat as the subdivision vegetation
matures.
The report recommends that perch tree replacement be initiated through installation of
evergreen trees on each individual building lot. The condition is recommended as a
means to mitigate potential adverse impacts to eagle habitat. The report states that the
intent of the recommendation was not to provide immediate perch sites for eagles.
Rather the trees planted in lots would, over time, become large enough to serve as
potential perch trees for eagles. Copies of the report pages are enclosed.
The city has taken your comments into consideration. However, your letter dated October 23,
1998, does not raise any new information indicating the proposal's probable signi~cant adverse
environmental impacts that were not previously disclosed. As the City's responsible
environmental official, I have determined that your comments have been adequately addressed
by the environmental checklist and the City's evaluation. Therefore no modifications to the
current mitigated determination of nonsignificance are warranted at this time.
The Mitigated Determination of Non Significance (MDNS) is now the city's final decision.
Any person aggrieved of the City's final determination must file an appeal with the City by
5:00 pm, November 13, 1998, pursuant to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) section 18-51
(enclosed). Appeal provisions for the above referenced State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) are outlined in the enclosed handout. SEPA appeal fees are $70.00 and are
nonrefundable.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please don't hesitate to call

RE:
SEP 97-0036, Preliminary Piflt of Ventana,
Comments on the Mitigated Detennination of Nonsignijicance
Dear Gary.& Julie Gillespie:
Thank you for your comment letter regarding the city's environmental determination for the
preliminary plat of Ventana. The following information is provided in response to the
comments and concerns expressed in your letter.
1.
Grading and Wildlife - On March 28, 1998, the developer, Wellington Morris, Inc.,
submitted revised preliminary plat application materials for the 28-lot subdivision. The
Ventana preliminary plat contains one open space tract, with the balance of the open
space obligation to be paid via fee- in-lieu-of providing the open space on site, in
accordance with the Federal Way City Code (FWCC) section 20-155(b) (enclosed).
c-
Grading for the preliminary plat project is reviewed under the Federal Way subdivision
code. In the case of Ventana, a mass grading request presented by Wellington Morris is
being reviewed by city staff and if approved by City Council will be subject to
engineering plan review. The open space tract and other areas are to be excluded from
mass grading. Staff considers some level of mass grading of the site reasonable because
of the site's topography, existing and proposed roadway configurations, location of
existing and proposed utilities, and to reduce construction related impacts.
A June 26, 1997 Wildlife Study/Eagle Assessment was prepared by Terra Associates,
Inc. for the development. It indicated that eagles reside approximately 2,000 feet north
of the subject site in the large unimproved park site. The study states that eagles may
perch in the trees of the subject site. According to the Eagle Assessment dated July 9,
1998, retention and/or replacement of significant trees and vegetation, as well as
incorporation of street trees and buffer open space into subdivision design, will help
mitigate the introduction of human activities on wildlife habitat. Open space provided

for the site is in the form of 10,284 square feet of constrained and buffer open space as
defined by the FWCC. The 11 mature trees retained in this tract will provide eagle
perching habitat as the subdivision vegetation matures.
The report recommends that perch tree replacement be initiated through installation of
evergreen trees on each individual building lot. The condition is recommended as a
means to mitigate potential adverse impacts to eagle habitat. The report states that the
intent of the recommendation was not to provide immediate perch sites for eagles.
Rather the trees planted in lots would, over time, become large enough to serve as
potential perch trees for eagles.
Based on other comments from neighbors, the city has required the applicap.t to provide
a supplemental wildlife study to address the presence of goshawks, red pileated
woodpeckers, owls and Ensatina Salamanders. Once this information is received, the
city will again review the required mitigation for this project.
2.
Roadway'Connection: Your letter indicates concern regarding the proposed vehicular
connection between Viewcliff and'Ventana. As detailed in the March 9, 1998
memorandum from Rick Perez, Traffic Engineer, (enclosed), the proposed subdivision
does meet the comprehensive plan requirements for street connectivity and access. The
Federal Way Comprehensive Plan and the Federal Way Subdivision Code are
documents written and adopted by the Federal Way City Council within a public
process.
,-
Street connectivity was also considered by King County with the 1964 approval of the
plat of Viewcliff No.2. The face of that plat identifies 25th Avenue SW with a
"temporary tum-a-round to become void on extension of 25th Ave SW".
The city has taken your comments into consideration. However, your letter dated October 28,
1998, does not provide any new information indicating the proposal's probable significant
adverse environmental impacts that were not previously disclosed. As the City's responsible
environmental official, I have determined that your comments have been adequately addressed
by the environmental checklist and the City's evaluation. Therefore, no modifications to the
current mitigated determination of nonsignificance are warranted at this time.
The Mitigated Determination of Non Significance (MDNS) is now the city's final decision.
Any person aggrieved of the City's final determination may file an åppea1 with the City by
5:00 p.m., November 13, 1998, pursuant to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) section 18-51
(enclosed). Appeal provisions for the above referenced State Environmental Policy Act

Comments on the Mitigated Detennination of Nonsignificance
Dear Lakota Highlands Residents:
....
Thank you for your comment letter regarding the city's environmental determination for the
preliminary plat of Ventana. The following information is provided in response to the
comments and concerns expressed in your letter.
1.
Grading and Wildlife - Your letter indicates that you feel that the MDNS finding of
fact Number 7 addresses a different proposal than was presented with respect to tree
retention.
The preliminary plat ofVentana was submitted on October 17,1997 as a 25-lot
subdivision with four open space tracts. The tracts were provided to meet the
subdivision code open space requirements in effect at that time.
The Federal Way City Council approved amendments to the City's subdivision códe on
January 6, 1998. The open space requirement was modified to allow fee in-lieu-of
payment instead of providing all of the open space on site for all subdivisions
regardless of the lot size. Previously, lots over 5 acres in size were required to provide
on-site open space; fee-in-lieu-of payments were not permitted.
These amendments were passed by the city council in response to the inferior open
space areas which were being proposed by within subdivisions. These open space areas
tended to be small and difficult to maintain. Pooling the open space payments permitted
the Parks Department to acquire desirable open space areas which could be successfully
maintained.
On March 28, 1998, the developer modified the subdivision layout to propose a 28-lot
subdivision with one open space tract. The balance of the open space obligation is to be

met via fee- in-lieu-of providing the open space on site in accordance with the Federal
Way City Code (FWCC) Section 2Q-155(b) (enclosed).
The subdivision code discusses tree retention and grading activities in several locations.
FWCC Section 20-179(b), Retention of Vegetation, states that preservation of the
significant trees pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1568 shall apply solely to the
development of each single family lot at the time at the time a building permit is
applied for. Grading for the preliminary plat project is reviewed under the FWCC
Section 20-179. In the case of Ventana, a mass grading request presented by the
applicant is being reviewed by city staff and if approved by City Council will be
subject to engineering design and review. The open space tract and other areas are to be
omitted from the mass grading. Staff considers some level of mass grading of the site
reasonable because of the site's topography, existing and proposed roadway
configurations, location of existing and proposed utilities, and to reduce construction
related impacts. A site that has mass grading approval will be required to implement
tree replacement for those significant trees not identified in roadways or utility
corridors.
2.
Eagles - A June 26, 1997 Wildlife Study/Eagle Assessment was prepared by Terra
Associates, Inc. for the development. It indicated that eagles reside approximately
2,000 feet north of the subject site in the large unimproved park site. The study states
that eagles may perch in the trees of the subject site. According to the Eagle
Assessment dated July 9, 1998, retention and/or replacement of significant trees and
vegetation, as well as incorporation of street trees and buffer open space into
subdivision design, will help mitigate the introduction of human activities on wildlife
habitat. Open space provided for the site is in the form of 10,284 square feet of
constrained and buffer open space as defined by the FWCC. The 11 mature trees
retained in this tract will provide eagle perching habitat while the subdivision
vegetation matures.
The report recommends that perch tree replacement be initiated through installation of
evergreen trees on each individual building lot. The condition is recommended as a
means to mitigate potential adverse impacts to eagle habitat. The report states that the
intent of the recommendation was not to provide immediate perch sites for eagles.
Rather the trees planted in lots would, over time, become large enough to serve as
potential perch trees for eagles.

RE:
SEP 97-0036, Preliminary Plat of Ventana,
Comments on the Mitigated Detennination of Non8ignificance
Dear Mr. Craig:
Thank you for your comment letter regarding the city's environmental determination for the
preliminary plat of Ventana. The following information is provided in response to the
comments and concerns expressed in your letter.
Your letter indicates your dissatisfaction with the open space proposed with the revised
preliminary plat of Ventana.
As we discussed in a phone conversation on November 2, 1998, the preliminary plat of
Ventana was submitted on October 17, 1997 as a 25 lot subdivision with four open space
tracts. The tracts were provided to meet the subdivision code open space requirements in effect
at that time.
The Federal Way City Council approved amendments to the City's subdivision code on
January 6, 1998 under Ordinance # 98-309 (enclosed). The open space requirement was
modified to permit fee in-lieu-of payments instead of providing all of the required open space
on the subject site for subdivisions regardless of the lot size. Previously, subdivision of lots
larger than 5 acres in size were required to provide all open space on-site; fee in lieu of
payments were not permitted.
The subdivision amendments were passed by the Federal Way City Council in response to the
inferior open space areas which were being proposed within subdivisions. These open space
areas tended to be small and difficult to maintain. Pooling the open space payments has
permitted the Parks Department to acquire desirable open space areas which could be
successfully maintained.
On March 28, 1998, the Ventana applicant modified the subdivision layout to propose a 28 lot
subdi vision with one open space tract. The balance of the open space obligation is to be met
via fee- in-lieu-of providing the open space on site in accordance with the Federal Way City
Code (FWCC) Section 20-15~(b) (enclosed). Please note that funds acquired from this project
must be spent in the P ARCS Comprehensive Planning Area for this property unless agreed to
by the applicant.

Your May 10, 1998 letter correctly identifies this particular site as selected by King County for
open space acquisition. Following incorporation, the City of Federal Way made several attempts
to purchase the lot for open space with no success. The City declined to condemn the site, and,
instead, with King County's approval, reallocated the funds to other open space purchases.
The city has taken your comments into consideration. However, your letter dated October 29,
1998, does not raise any new information indicating the proposal's probable significant adverse
environmental impacts that were not previously disclosed. As the City's responsible

Your May 10, 1998 letter correctly identifies this particular site as selected by King County for
open space acquisition. Following incorporation, the City of Federal Way made several attempts
to purchase the lot for open space with no success. The City declined to condemn the site, and,
instead, with King County's approval, reallocated the funds to other open space purchases.
The city has taken your comments into consideration. However, your letter dated October 29,
1998, does not raise any new information indicating the proposal's probable significant adverse
environmental impacts that were not previously disclosed. As the City's responsible
environmental official, I have determined that your comments have been adequately addressed
by the environmental checklist and the City's evaluation. Therefore no modifications to the
current mitigated determination of nonsignificance are warranted at this time.

Federal Way, WA 98023
RE:
SEP 97-0036, Preliminary Plat of Ventana, ,
Comments on the Mitigated Detennination of Nonsignificance
Dear Mr. Carrel:
Thank you for your comment letter regarding the city's environmental determination for the
preliminary plat of Ventana. The following information is provided in response to the
comments and concerns expressed in your letter.
1.
Wildlüe - Your letter asks that the determination be reversed based on the fact that the
proponents have failed to identify the presence of hawks, red pileated woodpeckers,
owls and Ensatina salamanders on the site and did not mitigate for these species.
~-
The applicant has been advised of your observations, and is being required to
supplement the wildlife study to address the presence of hawks, red pileated
woodpeckers, owls and Ensatina salamanders on the site. The city, with assistance from
the Department of Fish and Wildlife will review this information. Pursuant to RCW
197-11-340(3)(a)(ii), the city will withdraw the Determination of Nonsignificance
(DNS) if there is significant new information indicating, or on, a proposals probable
adverse environmental impacts. Should the environmental decision be withdrawn, all
property owners within 300 feet of the subject site will be notified of the new
environmental decision.
As noted in your letter, the Washington State Priority Habitat Program is a voluntary
program. Neither the City nor the state can compel a property owner to participate in
this program.
2.
Open Space - The preliminary plat of Ventana was submitted on Oétober 17, 1997 as a
25 lot subdivision with four open space tracts. The tracts were provided to meet the
subdivision code open space requirements in effect at that EXH I B IT ---1j- 1

The Federal Way City Council approved amendments to the City's subdivision code on
January 6, 1998 under Ordinance # 98-309. The open space requirement was modified
to permit fee in-lieu-of payments instead of providing all of the required open space on
the subject site for subdivisions regardless of the lot size. Previously, subdivision of
lots larger than 5 acres in size were required to provide all open space on-site; fee in
lieu of payments were not permitted.
The subdivision amendments were passed by the Federal Way City Council in response
to the inferior open space areas which were being proposed within subdivisions. These
open space areas tended to be small and difficult to maintain. Pooling the open space
payments has permitted the Parks Department to acquire desirable open spt!ce areas
which could be successfully maintained.
On March 28, 1998, the Ventana applicant modified the subdivision layout to propose a
28 ~ot subdivision with one open space tract. The balance of the open space obligation
is to be met via fee- in-lieu-of providing the open space on site in accordance with the
Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Section 20-155(b) (enclosed).
If the applicant were to provide open space on the site, at least 10 percent of the 15
percent is required to be usable open space, considered for development as active
recreation areas pursuant to FWCC Section 1O-155(a)(1).There are no minimums or
maximums of conservation open space. As stated in FWCC section 20-155(a)(2),
conservation open space and usable open space may be, but are not always, mutually
inclusive.

3.
Roadway Connection: Your letter indicates concern regarding the proposed vehicular
connection between Viewcliff and Ventana. As detailed in the March 9, 1998
memorandum from Rick Perez, Traffic Engineer, (enclosed), the proposed subdivision
does meet the comprehensive plan requirements for street connectivity and access. The
Federal Way Comprehensive Plan and the Federal Way Subdivision Code are
documents written and adopted by the Federal Way City Council within a public
process.
Street connectivity was also considered by King County with the 1964 approval of the
plat of Viewcliff No.2. The face of that plat identifies 25th Avenue SW with a
"temporary turn-a-round to become void on extension of 25th Ave SW".
The city has taken your comments into consideration. While, your letter dated October 30,
1998, does raise new information, staff does not have informati~ i~ the H - 7

RE:

Comments on the MitigaJed Determination of Nonsignificance
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Collins:
Thank you for your comment letter regarding the city's environmental determination for the
preliminary plat of Ventana. The following information is provided in response tõ the
comments and concerns expressed in your letter.
"
Roadway Connection: Your letter indicates concern regarding the proposed vehicular
connection between Viewcliff and Ventana. As detailed in the March 9, 1998 memorandum
from Rick Perez, Traffic Engineer, (enclosed), the proposed subdivision does meet the City of
Federal Way comprehensive plan requirements for street connectivity and access. The Federal
Way Comprehensive Plan and the Federal Way Subdivision Code are documents written and
adopted by the Federal Way City Council within a public process.
Street connectivity was also considered by King County with the 1964 approval of the plat of
Viewcliff No.2. The face of that plat identifies 25th Avenue SW with a "temporary turn-a-
-round to become void on extension of 25th Ave SW".
The city has taken your comments into consideration. However, your letter dated October 29,
1998, does not provide any new information indicating the proposal's probable significant
adverse environmental impacts that were not previously disclosed. As the City's responsible
environmental official, I have determined that your comments have been adequately addressed
by the environmental checklist and the City's evaluation. Therefore, no modifications to the
current mitigated determination of nonsignificance are warranted at this time.
The Mitigated Determination of Non Significance (MDNS) is now the city's final decision.
Any person aggrieved of the City's final determination may file an appeal with the City by
5:00 p.m., November 13, 1998, pursuant to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) section 18-51
(enclosed). Appeal provisions for the above referenced State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) are outlined in the enclosed handout. SErA appeal fees are $70.00 and are
nonrefundable.

Comments on the Mitigated Detennination of Nonsignijicance
Dear Mrs. Clark:
Thank you for your comment letter date October 26, 1998, regarding the city's environmental
determination for the preliminary plat of Ventana. The following information is provided in
response to the comments and concerns expressed in your letter.
1.
Cultural resources - The applicant has been advised of your conversation with Marie
Reed, and is being required to prepare a study to address the presence of cultural
resources on the site. The city, with assistance from the Washington State Department
of Archaeology and Historic Preservation will review this information. Pursuant to
RCW 197-11-340(3)(a)(ii), the city will withdraw the Determination of
Nonsignificance (DNS) if there is significant new information indicating, or on, a
proposals probable adverse environmental impacts. Should the environmental decision
be withdrawn, all property owners within 300 feet of the subject site will be notified of
the new environmental decision.
Grading - On March 28, 1998, the developer, Wellington Morris, Inc., submitted
revised preliminary plat application materials for the 28-10t subdivision. The Ventana
preliminary plat contains one open space tract, with the balance of the open space
obligation to be paid via fee- in-Heu-of providing the open space on site, in accordance
with the Federal Way City Code (FWCC) section 20-155(b). (enclosed).
Grading for the preliminary plat project is reviewed under the Federal Way subdivision
code. In the case of Ventana, a mass grading request presented by Wellington Morris is
being reviewed by city staff and if approved by City Council will be subject to
engineering plan review. The open space tract and other areas are to be excluded from
mass grading. Staff considers some level of mass grading of the site reasonable because
of the site's topography, existing and proposed roadway configurations, location of
existing and proposed utilities, and to reduce construction related impacts. The
applicant will coordinate with utility providers to provide underground utility service

The city has taken your comments into consideration. While, your letter dated October 26,
1998, does raise new information, staff does not have information at hand indicating the
proposal's probable significant adverse environmental impacts that were not previously
disclosed. As the City's responsible environmental official, I have determined that no
modifications to the current mitigated determination of nonsignificance are warranted at this
time. However, once we receive the requested cultural resource study, this decision will be
reviewed (see page 1).
The Mitigated Determination of Non Significance (MDNS) is now the city's final decision.
Any person aggrieved of the City's final determination may file an appeal with the City by
5:00 pm, November 13, 1998, pursuant to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) section 18-51
(enclosed). Appeal provisions for the above referenced State Environmental Policy- Act

RE:
Ventana Preliminary Plat SUB97-0005: Downstream Analysis/Storm Drainage Plan
Dear Mr. Condos:
.,
Thank you for taking the time to write and express your concerns about the dr3Únage issues
associated with the development of what we are now calling the Ventana parcel. As the manager of
the City's Surface Water division it is often my task to oversee the review of difficult or complex
drainage proposals. The drainage associated with the Ventana plat is such a proposal and I can assure
you that it merits and has received the division's full attention.
As it is still early in the process of plat approval, specifics of the drainage proposal have not yet been
submitted, e.g., storm system layout, size, length, facility type etc. - this means that it is not yet
possible to answer the questions in your letter with specifics. To elaborate, a Technical Information
Report (TIR) which proposes a drainage system and investigates downstream surfacè water impacts
has been submitted. City Surface Water staff have reviewed the TIR and have several concerns which
have been passed on to the Plat's engineer. Included in our comments to the engineer are concerns
similar to those raised by you in comments # 1 and #2 of your November 12, 1998 letter.
Part of the City's Code requirements for this site demand that a thorough downstream impact analysis
be performed in accordance with strict standards and guidelines. All impacts determined by this
process will be addressed by the site engineer in detail before construction is allowed to proceed. At
this point the downstream analysis extends from the site to Puget Sound. The following general
drainage principles will be adhered to:
.
.
Discharge from the site will occur at its current natural location
Peak flows leaving the developed site will be less than or equal to those leaving the site under
existing conditions .
Downstream conveyance systems will be designed to convey the 25-year storm event
An analysis of downstream systems in the 100-year event will be performed and any unsusual
circumstances will be addressed
Necessary drainage easements for the construction of any proposed solution will be obtained

c,;
At this point, the developer proposes to construct a pipe system in the vicinity of SW 305th Place.
The system is uhder review in accordance with the principles above. Therefore, in answer to your
question # 1 - should overflow occur, due to the occurence of an extreme stonn event, the overflow
will go in the direction that it has gone in the past. Again, note that this is being addressed as a part
of the TIR - a copy of your letter will be provided to the site engineer.
In response to ybur concern that the proposed pipe leaving the SW 305th detention tank jeopardizes
the downstream systems I suggest that the TIR, in its final fonn, will address any impacts downstream
of the Ventana site.
The plans for the western boundary of the plat are incomplete. We have not yet received a
geotechnical report for review. Be assured that the stability of the slope will be addressed and that
we are fully aware of the sloughing problem. The engineer has suggested that rerouting the drainage
away ITom the top of the slope will provide sufficient protection. At this point, staff is not convinced
that this is a satisfactory proposal - we need the geotechnical report. This issue is not strictly a
surface water issue and will require the input of other Public Works divisions - but the slope stability
issue will be addressed.
I hope that this letter affords you some comfort in the City's drainage approach to the review of the
Ventana proposal. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call
, me at (253) 661-4135.

The site is located within the Central Lower Puget Sound drainage basin. The property is
located on a ridge and contains four distinct drainage basins (see Figure 4). The basins
have been labeled as northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest according to their
location within the property boundary. A description of each basin follows:
Northeast:
The northeast drainage basin is 0.90 acres of heavily vegetated area. Storm water runoff
currently sheet-flows overland to the east through the thick vegetation to the eastern
property boundary (see Figure 5). The runoff enters the backyard of the adjacent property
to the east and then continues in a northeasterly direction (see Downstream Analysis -
Northeast). The topography in the northeast drainage basin averages 10% slopes.
Southeast:
~
. ,
.J
The southeast drainage basin is comprised of 2.66 acres with densely forested conditions.
Currently, the runoff sheet-flows overland to the southeast and exits the property along
the eastern and southern property boundary lines (see Figure 6). Once off site, the storm
water continues to the southeast and then south (see Downstream Analysis - Southeast).
The topography in the southeast drainage basin averages 10% slopes.

'j
Southwest:
The southwest drainage basin contains 5.47 acres of forest with dense undergrowth.
Storm water runoff generally flows to the west in the form of sheet-flow (see Figure 7).
The runoff collects along the western property boundary and either flows to the north
along 26th Avenue SW or to the south along the private driveway to a common point (see
Downstream Analysis - Southwest). The topography ranges between 5% and 35%
slopes.
Northwest:
The northwest drainage basin is 0.88 acres of heavily vegetated area. Storm water runoff
currently sheet-flows overland to the west through the thick vegetation to the western
property boundary (see Figure 8). The runoff continues to the west and enters a large
draw that directs the runoff to the west and northwest (see Downstream Analysis -
Northwest). Topography in the northwest drainage basin averages 12% slopes.

The ultimate goal of the proposed drainage is to mimic the existing conditions in tenns of
the rates of runoff discharging from the site by providing a detention pond, an infiltration
tank, and allowing some portions of the site to sheet-flow offsite. The proposed drainage
has been designed using the most current approved engineering methods as described in
the King COW1ty Stonn Water Management Manual and approved by City of Federal
Way. Four drainage basins are present in the proposed condition with slightly modified
amoW1ts of area constituting them (see Figure 9). A thorough comparison of the existing
and proposed basins with respect to the rates of runoff exiting the site can be foW1d in
Appendix B (On-site Basin Comparisons). The following is a description of the proposed
drainage plan for each of the four drainage basins:
Northeast:
The proposed infiltration tank that has been designed to infiltrate the rooftop runoff for
Lots 1-8 & 12-15 is located in the northeast basin. An area of 0040 Ac will be allowed to
drain to the east in the same manner as in the existing condition. Of the 0040 Ac, the
amoW1t of impervious area accoW1ts for 0.08 Ac and the amoW1t of pervious area
accoW1ts for 0.32 Ac. The pervious area will be made up of grassed yards.
Southeast:
In the southeast basin, the runoff from the rooftops on Lots 1-8 will be tightlined to the
infiltration tank located in the northeast basin. The grassed, pervious area will be allowed
to exit the site and sheet-flow as in the existing condition. The amoW1t of pervious area is
1.11 Ac.
Southwest:
In the developed condition, the southwest basin will be comprised of 7.66 acres of
pervious and impervious area. The stonn water runoff from Lots 9-11, 16-28, Tract 994,
and the interior roads will be collected and conveyed by W1dergroW1d conveyance pipe to
the detention pond and biofiltration swale that is proposed to provide detention and water
quality treatment. Tract 995, which is 0.38 Ac of pervious area, will be allowed to bypass
the detention facility. The rates of runoff exiting the site from the southwest basin in the
developed condition will be detained to match the rates of runoff exiting in the existing
condition.

Northwest:
A small portion of pervious area located on the northern and western side of the detention
pond wiIi be allowed to exit the site and sheet-flow offsite as in the existing state. The
amount of area that will be tributary to the northwest basin is 0.05 Ac.

IV. DOWNSTREAM ANALYSIS
There are four distinct drainage basins found on-site. These drainage basins are labeled
as northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest. The individual downstream analyses
of the drainage basins are as follows:
Northeast:

Storm water runoff from the northeastern basin will sheet-flow to the east as in the
existing condition to the eastern and northern property boundaries (see Figure 10). The
backyard runoff from Lot 1 will travel eastward into the adjacent property and sheet-flow
for approximately 150 LF across the adjacent lot into 23rd Avenue SW. The runoff then
sheet-flows north along the edge of pavement of 23rd Avenue SW for approximately 180
LF to the intersection with SW 304th Street. The runoff then turns east and continues to
sheet-flow on the south side of the pavement downhill for 200 LF to the low point of the
road. The storm water enters a catchbasin on the south side of SW 304th Street. From the
CB, the runoff is conveyed to the north through 12" SD for 40 LF and discharged into a
natural drainage swale. The swale meanders through private property to the northeast
through forest with thick vegetation. Residents adjacent to the swale have had problems
on occasion with flooding. Storm water is conveyed through the swale to the northeast
for approximately 400 LF towards 21st Avenue SW. The swale is received by a 12" SD
on the western side of 21 st A venue SW that conveys the runoff to the north under a
private driveway for 30 LF. The runoff continues to the north for 200 LF through a series
of roadside drainage channels and 12" SD's that are located under private driveways. The
drainage channels and SD' s direct the runoff to the intersection of 21 st A venue S W and
20th Place SW. A 12" SD conveys the runoff to the northeast 25 LF under 21st Avenue
SW to the western side of 20th Place SW. Runoff continues to the north through drainage
channels and SD's. With the exception of the problem previously noted in the drainage
swale on the private property, there appears to be sufficient capacity in the drainage
system for the northeast basin. Since a majority of the northeastern basin will be
infiltrated, the downstream drainage system should receive a volume of runoff less than
previously experienced.
Southeast:
Storm water runoff from the southeastern basin will sheet-flow to the southeast and
eventually be received by the conveyance system located in SW 306th Place (see Figure
11). A portion of the runoff from the backyards will exit the site along the eastern
property boundary and sheet-flow through the adjacent property to. the east for
approximately 250 LF and enter the conveyance system located in SW 305th Street. The
conveyance system of SW 30Sth Street conveys the runoff to the southeast and then south
"Strivingfor the Peak of Excellence"

Ventana
Job No. 97021
through 12" SD for 300 LF. Once the storm system conveys the runoff to the south side
of SW 30Sth Street, the runoff is discharged into a drainage swale that conveys the storm
water to the south through private property for 60 LF to a 12" intake also located on
private property. The 12" SD conveys the runoff to the south to a CB located on the
northern side of SW 306th Place.
The remainder of the storm water runoff on-site will sheet-flow to the southeast through
the adjacent property to the southeast for approximately 200 LF and enter the storm
system located in SW 306th Place. The runoff is conveyed to the east through 12" SD for
400 LF and tie into the CB that the previously described runoff enters.
The entire runoff is then conveyed to the south for 340 LF under SW 306th Place and
through private property to a CB located on the northern side of SW 307th Street through
a series of SD and drainage channel. From the CB, the storm water is conveyed through
24" SD to the south following 22nd Avenue SW for approximately 850 LF. The runoff is
then discharged into a large drainage channel that continues to the south. From the
observations made of the existing offsite drainage system, the amount of runoff expected
to exit the site will not adversely affect the system due to sufficient capacity.
:-;'1',
Northwest:
In the Northwestern portion of the site, runoff sheet flows to the west for approximately
100 LF into an existing draw, which flows in a westerly direction. The slopes and bottom
of the draw are saturated with groundwater seepage originating from upstream sources.
The northern portion of the draw is owned by King County Parks. Eventually the runoff
intercepts a stream, which conveys flow west through a 24" ADS culvert at SW 302nd
Street and a 24" culvert at SW 300th Place. There appears to be adequate capacity within
the existing draw and drainage channel to convey the on-site runoff in the northwestern
basin.
Southwest:
Runoff exiting the southwestern basin enters a ditch along the eastern side of 26th A venue
SW (photo 1) and flows north to an existing 12" culvert (photo 2). Runoff flows through
the 12" pipe under a gravel driveway in a northwesterly direction for 23 LF, then west in
a roadside ditch that is earth/rock lined and 1-2 feet in depth (photo 3) for 130 LF at a
slope of 12.3%. Runoff continues west through a 12" pipe for 20 LF at 15.4% under a
driveway (photo 4). Runoff continues in a ditch for 104 LF at a slope of 14.6% (photo 5),
then flows through 61 LF of 12" pipe, then flows through 36 LF a shallow ditch, then
through 25 LF of 12" CP culvert, then through 10 LF of open ditch (photo 6), and then
enters a 12" pipe serving as an intake into an existing 48" detention pipe (photo 7). The
detention pipe was installed for Short Plat No. 679081 in 1981. Runoff discharged from'

the tank flows north through 64 LF of 12" CMP before outfalling onto a slope which was
created by filling for Lot 3 construction of the KCSP 679081. The overland drainage
course directs the storm water to the northwest 80 LF towards a 5x5 sump (photo 8 & 9)
with a wire screen covering at the toe of the slope. A 12" CP culvert exits the sump in a
westerly direction beneath an existing driveway and outfalls on the western side of the
driveway, although the outfall was not located. A I-foot wide drainage channel was
evident on the northern side of an existing garage, which conveys runoff in a westerly
direction.

.PROPOSED DOWNSTREAM IMPROVEMENTS
Western Basin: The developer has negotiated with the property owner downstream from
the existing detention tank to obtain a 10 foot drainage easement along the eastern side of
Lot 3 to an existing catchbasin located on 28th A venue SW (photo 10). The purpose of
the easement would be to install approximately 230 LF of 12" pipe directly from the
detention pipe control structure to the catchbasjn. Once installed, runoff would be
conveyed westerly through 40 LF of 12" pipe (photo 11), then through another 70 LF of
12" pipe installed as part of the agreement with the property owner, replacing the existing
ditch (photo 12). Runoff would then cross 28th Avenue SW through 30 LF of 12" CMP
(photo 13), outfalling into a 3 foot deep ditch on the south side of 28th Avenue SW (photo
13A). Runoff would continue west (photo 14 & 15) to the intersection of 28th Avenue
SW and 30th Avenue SW (photo 16), then cross 28th Avenue SW through 12" pipe, then
continue along the northern side of 30th Avenue SW in a westerly direction (photo 17).
The ditch continues west before entering an underground conveyance system which
conveys flow to SW 300th Place, then continues west through private property before
outfalling into the Puget Sound (see Downstream Analysis Exhibits Shts. 1 & 2).

REVIEW OF RESOURCES
According to the Executive Proposed Basin Plan as adopted by the City of Federal Way
(see Appendix E), the site is located in the Central Puget Sound Basin. The Drainage
Basin Map of King County, Figure 13, also depicts the site being located in the Puget
Sound Basin. The property lies within the limits of the Federal Way Community
Planning Area, Figure 14. The site is not located in any of the critical drainage areas
defmed in the reference section of the 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual.
Based on the King County Sensitive Areas Maps, Figures 15-19, the property is not found
in any of the potential problem areas for landslide, seismic, erosion, and wetland hazards.
As previously noted, the on-site soil is mostly Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AgC)
with a small portion being Alderwood and Kitsap soils (AkF) which are both classified as
Hydrologic Group "c" (see Figure 3).

West Basin
This basin has been modeled using the modified SBUH methodology with the modified
,7-day design stonn (the Bruce Barker Method). The software program WaterWorks has
been used to develop and manipulate hydrographs.
The precipitation rates from the KCSWM Design Manual are as follows:
2 yr, 7-day:
10 yr, 7-day:
4.30"
5.80"
Peak rates of runoff and required RID volume are summarized here, and the calculations
are shown in detail in Appendix A.

Prelim. Detention Volume ReQuired(ct) 48,954
(Peak flows, cfs)
Northeast Basin
This basin was modeled using the KCRTS methodology with the software provided by
King County.
The site is located in the Sea- Tac Rainfall Region and was modeled using the 100-year
stonn event. This basin will utilize an infiltration tank to handle stonn water runoff.
Please refer to Appendix G for the KCRTS output.

** Calibrated to interflow component of runoff. Use for applications where
runoff volume is critical, such as detention design.
Flat: Average slope of 15% or less. .
Steep: Average slope greater than 15%.
Outwash soils: For sites predominantly outwash use standard 24-hr hydro graph method in
the design manual.
For RJD Analysis: Use interflow calibrated Tc for both existing and developed condition
hydrograph.
¿ For Conveyance/Overflow Analysis: Use standard SCS Type I-A 24-& rainf~

ON-SITR BASIN COMPARISONS.
¡
I
The purpose of this analysis is to compare the rates of runoff and storm volumes for the
northeastern, southeastern, southwestern, and northwestern drainage basins within the
proposed site of development. The comparison for the basins is based upon the existing
and developed conditions for the 2- and lO-year events for using the KCRTS
methodology and software provided by King County. The following is a comparison for
each of the four basins:

Northeast:
In the existing condition, the total area associated with the northeastern basin is 0.90 Ac.
The existing vegetation consists of forested conditions with thick llilderbrush. In the
developed condition, the total area associated with northeastern basin that is being
allowed to exit the site and proceed offsite as is demonstrated in the existing condition is
0.40 Ac. The amount of impervious area is 0.08 Ac. The remainder of the 0.40 Ac is
comprised of pervious area vegetated with grass. Hydrographs for the existing and
developed conditions have been created for the two storm events (see attached HYD
program output).
As indicated on the following table, both the rates of runoff and storm volumes decreased
slightly from the existing condition to the developed condition for both of the storm
events. In light of the downstream problem noted in the downstream analysis, the
decreased rates and volumes will be favorable.

Southeast:
In the existing condition, the total area associated with the southeastern basin is 2.66 Ac.
The existing vegetation consists of forested conditions with thick llilderbrush. In the
developed condition, the total area associated with northeastern basin that is being
allowed to exit the site and proceed off site as is demonstrated in the existing condition is
1.11 Ac of pervious, grassed vegetation. Hydrographs for the existing and developed
conditions have been created for the two storm events (see attached HYD program
output).
When comparing the rates exiting the site, there is approximately a 50% decrease in rates
of runoff and storm volumes for the storm events. The southeastern basin is part of a
much larger overall basin. The stonn water flows in the conveyance system located in

SW 307th Street are heavy within the 24" SD's. The runoff from the site is negligible
compared to the total flows noted in the downstream conveyance system.
Southwest:
In the developed condition, the storm water runoff in the southwestern basin is being
collected and conveyed to a detention pond. A small amount of the southwestern basin,
0.38 Ac, is being allowed to bypass the detention pond. The detention pond and control
structure have been designed to release the collected runoff at rates equivalent to the rates
exiting the site in the existing condition (see Appendix A). Therefore, the downstream
drainage system will not experience any increased flow rates according to the approved
methods of design.
Northwest:
In the existing condition, the total area associated with the northwestern basin is 0.88 Ac.
The existing vegetation consists of forested conditions with thick underbrush. In the
developed condition, the total area associated with northeastern basin th-at is being
allowed to exit the site and proceed offsite as is demonstrated in the existing condition is
0.05 Ac of pervious, grassed vegetation. Hydrographs for the existing and developed
conditions have been created for the two storm events (see attached HYD program
output).
The amount of area contributing to the northwest basin is considerably less in the
developed condition than in the existing condition. The result is a significant decrease in
both the rates of runoff and storm volumes. Once again, the on-site area that is associated
with the overall basin is insignificant when comparing to the entire basin. The decreased
rates and volumes will not alter the downstream drainage system.

OFFSITE CONVEYANCE CAPACITY CHECK
SOUTHWEST BASIN
The downstream from the detention pond outfall to the Puget Sound was analyzed using
the SBUH methodology using the 25-year, 24-hour storm event. WaterWorks, a software
program from Engenious Systems was used to calculate, route and add the hydrographs,
as well as calculate the pipe capacities. The basins and reaches (pipes and ditches) are
identified on the 24"x36" blueline exhibits A and B which can be found folded up in back
of this report. The topography shown was prepared by Tri-County Surveying.
For the purpose of this analysis, the hydrographs were assumed to be instantaneous
between each reach. This is a conservative assumption that shortens the time of
concentration thus increase the calculated peak flows.
The results of the analysis indicate all the pipes and reaches are not adversely affected by
the minor diversion occurring on the Ventana site. Each pipe and ditch haš adequate
capacity. The only problem identified is Reach 17, a 12" concrete pipe that is sloped in
the wrong direction.

OFFSITE DETENTION TANK ANALYSIS:
I

An existing detention tank is located to the west of the proposed development,
downstream of the outfall from the proposed on-site detention pond. The detention tank
is located on the southern edge of lot 3 on the short plat KCSP 679081. The purpose of
this analysis is to demonstrate how the offsite detention tank perfonns once the proposed
site of Vent ana has been developed. The tank is analyzed by routing the 2- and 10-year,
7-day design stonns through the as-built tank, which is considered a conservative analysis
since the tank was originally designed using 1979 King County drainage standards.
The detention tank has a length of 49 ft., a diameter of 48 in., and a 0.50% slope. The
control structure is comprised of a 12" overflow riser with a bottom-plate orifice.

The off site basin tributary to the tank, downstream and west of the proposed site, consists
of 1.12 acres with 0.76 acres being pervious area and 0.36 acres being impervious area.
The off site basin has been modeled for the two design stonns. The on-site basin that is
tributary to the tank consists of a total of 7.31 acres with 4.91 acres being pervious area
and 2.40 acres being impervious area and has also been modeled for the two design
stonns. The hydro graphs associated with the on-site area of 7.31 acres are routed through
the proposed, on-site detention pond to compute the hydro graphs of the runoff being
released from the pond to the downstream system. The offsite hydro graphs (1.12 acres)
are added to the pond release hydro graphs, which results in the total runoff tributary to
the off site detention tan1e
The following are the results from the offsite detention tank routing:

The riser overflow elevation is 193.44 ft. In the case of both the 2- and 10-year, 7-day
stonn events, the stonn water will overflow. The off site detention tank was sized using
the Y & W method which typically produces lower rates of runoff and detention volumes.
The rates of runoff being released from the proposed development match the runoff rates
for the existing conditions of the on-site area. Therefore, the proposed development will
not adversely impact the off site detention tank. The reason that the analysis perfonned
shows the tank to be in a state of overflow is due to the differences in modeling
procedures, the past technique being the Y&W method and the current being the SBUH
method with the 2- and IO-year, 7-day design storms.

Introduction
The Central Lower puget Sound sub-basin drains upland areas through two major
streams, Redondo Creek (tributary 0384) and Cold Creek (tributary 0385); and a
host of intenmittent channels farther west (Figure 4.4.1). The upland area is
underlain by till and locally overlain by outwash. The steeper slopes leading
down to puget Sound expose a sequence of older, deeper deposits of past gla-
ciations and interglaciations. Moderate erosion of the sandier deposits on
this slope is common along the channels here, as is landsliding near the con-
tacts between sandy and underlying silty deposits.

Flows in the sub-basin are predicted to be minimally increased in the future,
but they are dramatically greater now than prior to development. Between 1987
and full build out, modeled flows typically increase by no more than 10 to 20
percent even without onsite detention. In contrast, the differences between
forested and 1987 conditions are typically three- or four-fold for a given
recurrence interval.

Water-quality conditions in this basin affect both streams and lakes.
Observed high concentrations of fecal colifonms, metals, ,and total suspended
solids stem from high-density development, numerous arterial roads and two
state highways, and a now-abandoned petrochemical disposal site. The mouth of
Redondo Creek, in particular, was rated the single worst water-quality site of
any in the Hylebos and Lower Puget Sound basins during the 1989-1990 stonm
season sampling program. Water here discharges into Lower Puget Sound Wetland
61, a number-one rated intertidal wetland and an lSRA. Degraded water quality
at this site is particularly problematic.

Surface-water problems here are numerous but most are not severe, reflecting
the limited extent of the drainage system and the substantial alterations that
have already occurred to many of the streams. The habitat value of this sub-
basin is also rather low. Significant problems, therefore, are few in number
(Figure 4.4.2). Those problems that do not pose hazardous conditions are not
addressed by the recommendations below. They are noted in both the Current
and Future Conditions Report (King County, 1990a) and in the final listjng of
identified problems (King County, 1990e). These recommendations also do not
address the recent failure of the Redondo Beach Road Seawall, caused by wave
action during high winds in December 1990.
Recommendations (Figure 4.4.3)
Regulations and Programs. Because the sub-basin is largely built out, onsite
flow control for new development could be only moderately effective. No
supplemental detention beyond the Basinwide Recommendation (see BW-2) is
therefore recommended. In some cases, however, less restrictive detention may
be feasible and acceptable.

Core Requirements:
1) Four natural points of discharge are present in the existing condition and will be
present in the developed condition as well. Runoff is being allowed to sheet-flow
off site for the northeast, southeast, and northwest drainage basins in order to try to
mimic existing rates of runoff. For the southwest basin, the runoff being released
from the detention pond is discharged from the site into a roadside ditch as was
occurring in the existing condition.
2) A downstream analysis has been performed.
3) An infiltration tank, a detention pond, and a biofiltration swale are proposed to
provide runoff control for the site.
4) The proposed conveyance system will be sized to ensure proper function in a later
submittal package

This letter serves as a modification request to divert storm water runoff from developed portions
of the Southeast basin to an infiltration system located near the Northeast comer of the plat. The
diversion is necessary because there is no existing storm system near the Southeast corner of the
site to convey runoff, and the soils in the Northeast comer of the site are more suited for
infiltration. Some backyard runoff will be allowed in the Southeast basin to account for the
diversion.
Please call if you have any questions.

Letter of Modification Request - Revised.
Dear Mr. Tang:
We have received your Memo dated 9/1/0/98 to Ms. Deb Barker requesting an updâted
Modification Request that fo~lows the procedure outlined in the King County Surface Water
Design Manual (KCSWDM). The Modification Request considers the following:
. .
1. Divert a portion bfthe Southeast :Basiri to the Northeast Basin.
2. Divert portions of the Southeast, Northeast, and Northwest Basins to the Southwest Basin.
3. Divert the downstream discharge path of the Southwest basin fróm the present overland path
to an established roadside ditch arid underground conveyance system; .
Basis for the Modification Request:
1. The present topography of the Southeast basin slopes in a southeasterly .direction onto
adjacent property. There is no established drainage course in the basin or nearby that can be
used for conveyance of developed runoff. Therefore, it was logical to consîder onsite
infiltration for runoff from rooftops and developed portions of the lots within the Southeast
basin. 1\ .geotechnical analysis and. ~oil logs discovered that the most desirable soils for
infiltration existed in the Northeastern: portion of the site at a depth of approxiniately 13 feet
below existing grade. The soils in the Southeast basin did not demonstrate the same
desirable characteristics and a tightline was desigried to convey runoff from the . lots to an
infiltration tallk located near the Northeast comer of the site. ::5 ~

The preferred method for controlling, developed runoff is infiltration as discussedfu the
Department ,of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for the Puget Sound Basin, Section
1-2.8. By diverting runoff to the Northeast basin, infiltration can be used and potential
downstream problems in the Southeast Basin can be avoided, thus producing a result in the
public interèst meeting the objectives set forth by the DepartmentöfEcology.
2. The detention pond located in the Northwest comer of the site has been designed to meet the
current standards of the city of Federal Way for detention and water quality. Portions of the
Northeast, Northwest, and Southeast basins that contain the proposed roadway of 24th
Avenue SW and developed lots are conveyed to the pond for the purpose of controlled runoff
and water quality meeting the City'sstandaids. A small portion of developed runoff ITom
24th Avenue SW will flow uncontrolledto the north and south respective basins which will
acéount for some 'of the diverted flows.
The 'diversion of the Northeast, Northwest, and Southeast basins to the,detention'and water
quality facility in the Northwest comer of the site will produce compensating ~sults in the
public ~terest' by avoiding downstream basins that' demonstrate potential problems and will
meet the objectives of the City for function, water quality, and m3intenance. '
3. The present downstream drainage path of the Southwest basin was initially considered as the
proposed outfall for the detention and, water quality facility. futerest and, concern from
downstream property owners over the impact from runoff Ïtiitiated' an investigation into an
alternative outfall path. Negotiations were' conducted with concerned owners and an
agreement was reached to construct a conveyance system to the existing conveyance system
along 28th Avenue SW. A detailed downstream survey and analysis has been performed to
qualify the proposed drainage path. ,," '
The proposed diversion of the present downstream drainage path in the Southwest basin will
produce a compensating result in the 'public interest and nieet the' objectives of safety,
function, and maintainability.,

Re:
Complex Variance Request,
Preliminary Plat of Vent an a Basin Diversion Request
SUB97-000S
Dear Mr. Miller:
The Public Works Department has received your letter dated September IS, 1998 in which -you request a
Complex Variance for the referenced project. The detailed description of the diversion can be found in the
Preliminary Storm Drainage report dated August 14, 1998.
Pursuant to the 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual, Chapter 1, Section 1.4.1, the Department of
Public Works has the authority to detennine if and what type of variance is required for projects subject to
drainage review. Variances fi"om the requirements described in the manual may be granted provided the variance
will accomplish the following:
I. Produce a compensating or comparable result that is in the public interest.
2. Meet the objectives of safety, function, appearance, environmental protection, and maintainability
based on sound engineering judgement
Upon review of the Preliminary Storm Dramage report, the following describes how the above listed criteria are
met:
The project site area is about 9.9 acres. It is located on a ridge and contains four distinct dramage basins.
Without a variance, the King COtmty Surface Water Design Manual may require that the project to construct four
separate retention/detention facilities onsite. The City Surface Water Management division (SWM) recognizes
the impractical nature of this requirement.
The size of the proposed basin modification is minor. As the result of the modification, the runoff rates in the
developed condition fi"om the Northeast basin, Southeast basin and Northwest basin will all be equal or less than
their runoff rates in the existing condition for the 2-year and IO-year storm events.
The proposed diversion of the downstream discharge path of the Southwest basin will divert high flows fi"om the
present overland path to an established roadside ditch and pipe system. The diversion is not significant in the
sen~e that the outfall locations of the existmg and the proposed drain~ge paths into Puget Sound are very close
(about 200 feet) and the distance between the outfall and the project site is very short (about a halfmile).

By diverting high flows from and erosion-prone overland path located on private properties to an established.
conveyance system located within the public right of way, the City will have the benefit of convenience for
maintenance i.e., easy access for addressing future maintenance needs. The following conditions of approval will
also ensure that the objectives of safety, function, and environmental protection are met.
I. The flow rates from the Southeast basin, Northeast basin and Northwest basin in the developed
condition need to be analyzed. The peak discharge rates from above three basins for the 2-year and
10-year 7 -day design stonn events in the developed condition have to be equal or less than the peak
discharge rates in the existing condition for the same basin and the same design stonn event.
2. A flow splitter must be installed at the outlet of the existing offsite detention tank so that all low
flows will remain in its existing drainage path, and all flows larger than the erosion-causing threshold
(i.e., 50% of the 2-year peak flow) will be diverted to the new drainage path.
~
3. The downstream capacity of the new drainage conveyance for the Southwest basin between the
project site and Puget Sound has to be adequate. The capacity of this conveyadce needs to be fully
analyzed using the design standard outlined in the King County Surface Water Design Manual. The
analysis will be reviewed in the engineering review process. Any deficiency of the conveyance has
to be addressed before engineering approval of the project Depending upon the-result of the
analysis and the historical observation record, the mitigation effort may involve substantial
improvement of the conveyance system downstream. 1ñe bonds and liability requirement, including
drainage facilities restoration and site stabilization bond and the maintenance and defect bond, shall
be applied to all downstream improvements constructed by the developer.
If you have any questions, please contact Fei Tang, P.E., Surface Water Engineer, at (253) 661-4015.

Subject
Site Evaluation for Bald ~gles
Federal Way Project
Federal Way. Washington
Dear Mr. Sahar:
As requested, we visited the subject property near 25th Avenue SW in Federal Way, Washington. Our site visit
was conducted on June 17, 1997. during a period of light rain. The pwpose of our site visit was to evaluate the
site conditions for possible use by bald eagles (Ha/iaeetus /eucocepha/us).
The subject property isa square parcel of ten acres located .~tween SW 304th Street arid SW 306th Street on the
e¿sc side of 25th A venue SW. The property is undeveloped, but anetwork of1rails crosses andproýjdes accesstO'
most parts of the site.
The property is currently covered by a second growth mixed coniferous and broadleaf deciduous forest.
Dom.i[l.a.nt native tree species are Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menzies;l). western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla),
big-leaf maple (Accr macrophyOUl1f), and red alder (A/nus rubra). The forest understory is dominated by Indian
plum (Oemleria cera;;iformis), red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa), salal (Gaultheria shot/on). and salmonberry
(RubuJ spectabilis). Common herbaceous species include sword fern (Po/ystichum munitum), bracken-fern
(Pceridiutn aqlli/irlllm), and stinging nettle (Urfica dioica).
Topographically, the site is located on the crest of a north-south trmding ridge. The elevation near the center of
the property is approximately 325 feet, and elevations near the east and west boundaries are approximately 300
feet. There are no swales or depressions on the property, and no wetlands or other special habitats are present on
the property.
Neighbors in the vicinity have reported that the large trees on the prOperty have been used for perch sites by bald
eagl~s. ~ald eagles in, the Puget Sound r~gion f~almost exclusively on fish. and to a much lesser extent on

Mr. Greg Sahar
June 26, 1997
Very few trees on the sit~ appcarcdto have the structure necessary to support an eagle nest. However. most eagle
nests ín the Puget Sound region are very close to water, and this site is probably too far from open water to be a
desirable nest location.
Information available from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife indicates a bald eagle foraging
territory On Puget Sound north of the subject property. This territory is occupied by a singk pair of eagles,
although other eagles may pass through on occasion. One nest sitcis located close to the water approximately
one-half mile north of the subject property, and a second nest site is located approximately one mite further east
on Puget Sound. It is. not unusual for a pair of eagle to have multiple nest sites within their territory. although
only one nest would be active each year. Bald cagle nests belotlging to differcntpairs in the Puget Sound region
are generally located about five miles apart. As long as the Poverty Bay nest is active, it is unlikely that another
pair of eagles would attempt to build a nest in this vicinity.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife generally designates restricted zones around active bald eagle
nests. The primary zone includes a radius of 330 feet around the nest site, and the secondary zone i~cludes the
area between 330 feet and 660 feet from the nest site. Development activities are generally prohibited in the
primary zone and limited within the secondary zone. It is also recommended that foraging perch trees within 200
feet of the shoreline be preserved.
Because the closest known nest site is over 2,0.00 feet from the subject pro~, there should be no restrictions of
development of the site. The site is also at least 2,000 feet from the closest shoreline. It is unlikely that trees on
the property would be used as foraging perches by th.c eagles. However. it is likely that the eagles would
occasionally use trees on the site for resting perches.
It is our understanding that under the proposed development plan for this site, at least 25 percent of the large trees
on the site will be preserved. Many of the perch trees that are currently used by eagles will still be available.
Many eagles in the Puget Sound region have become habituated to human activity -and development and will
readily use perch treès in a residential development. However, there is considerable variation in individual
tolerance for disturbance, and it is not possible to be certain how the resident eagles in this area will react to this
development.
It ís our conclusion that there are no bald eagle nests on or within 2,000 feet of the Federal Way property,
although the large tr~es on the site are likely to be used for occasional perching. The proposed level of
development is unlikely to have any adverse impact on the pair of bald eagles nesting on Poverty Bay.

Response to Comments
Preliminary Plat of Vent ana
King County, Washington
.
Dear Mr. Sahar:
. As requested, we have reviewed the comments from the City of Federal Way on the Preliminary Plat of Ventana,
located between SW 304th Street and SE 306th Street in Federal Way, Washington. Weconductèd a site visit on
January 29, 1998, to investigate the issues raised in those comments.
Bald Ea :des
As noted in our previous letter on bald eagle use of trees in this area (dated June 26, 1997), a pair of bald eagles
has a territory on Poverty Bay, with a nest site approximately 2,OÓQ feet north of the Ventanasite. The
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife typically requires primary and secondary zones of protection around
nest sites. These zones may vary in size based on specific characteristics of each territory, but the outer protection
zone is generally less than 1,000 feet in radius from the nest. In addition, foraging perch trees within 200 feet of a
shoreline are protected. Because the Ventana site is at least 2,000 feet from the nest site and about 2,000 feet
from the closest shoreline, there should be no restriction on site development because of the eagles.
It was originally anticipated that approximately 25 percent of the large trees on the site would be preserved, but
the current grading plan indicates a greater impact. Wellington-Morris Corporation has elected to pay a fee to the
City of Federal Way in lieu of preservation of open space. In the current plan, approximately 0.24 acres out of the
total of 9.9 acres on the site will be preserved in one open space tract. This area, Tract 995, is located on a
relatively steep slope adjacent to 26th Avenue SW in the southwest corner of the property. This tract will
preserve numerous large Douglas fir (Pseudotsllga men::iesii) trees, and a few big-leaf maple (Acer
macrophyllum) and red alder (Alnus rubra), The tract is on a west-facing slope with a view of Puget Sound.

In addition to the designated open space tract, an area of natural vegetation will be preserved on the slope at the
east ends of Lots 16, 17, 18, and 19. This area is dominated by Douglas fir with some maples and alders. It is
located on a west-facing slope with a view of Puget Sound. Another area of natural vegetation will be preserved
at the east end of Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4. This area is dominated by red alders with an understory of salmonberry.
Several other large trees will also be preserved in individual lots on the property.
It is unlikely that the eagles from the Poverty Bay territory use the trees on the Ventana site for anything more
than incidental resting perches. The site is too far from the nest to be used regularly for territorial defense perches
or overnight roosting. The site is also too far from the shoreline to be used for foraging perches. The preserved
open space tract and the other trees and areas of natural vegetation should retain enough trees to provide for
occasional eagle use.
The Ventana site is almost completely surrounded by existing residential development, and eagles using the site at
the present time are probably habituated to residential landscapes and neighborhood activities. It is reasonable to
expect eagles to continue using the site to the same extent as currently. In order to rnaint~in the long-term
potential for use by eagles, we recommend that additional conifers, especially Douglas fir and grand flf (Abies
grandis), be used for landscaping in individual lots.
.
Wetlands
As noted in our previous letter, there are no wetlands or other aquatic habitats on the Ventana property. In
response to comment #19, we examined the southeast corner of the property in more detail. Red alder and
salmonberry, with some Himalayan blackberry and trailing blackberry (Rubus ursinus), dominate vegetation in
this area. Alder and salmonberry are frequently found in wetlands, but they are just as likely to be in uplands.
Soil samples in this area showed no hydric characteristics. The colors were dark yellowish brown (lOYR3/4)
with no mottles. There was no saturation, in spite of heavy recent rainfall.
Adjacent land to the south and east from the southeast property corner is occupied by existing residential
development. Wooden fences are present on the property boundary, with landscaped yards and houses within 100
feet of the Ventana property. No wetlands are present in this area, and to the best of our knowledge, no wetlands
are located anywhere within 100 feet of the Ventana property boundary.
We trust this information satisfies your current needs for this project. If you have any questions or need
additional information, please call.

'Dear Mr. Sahar:
As requested, we have reviewed t.':1e additional comments fro:n the City of Federal Way on the Preliminary Plat
of V{,I'.tana, located betl,veen SW 304th Street and SE 306th Street, in Federal Way, Washington. The City of
Federal Way has requested some additional clarification ofa recommendation made in our previous letter.
Our previous letter (dated March 19, 1998) proposed that "in order to maintain the long-term potential for use by
eagles, we recommend that additional conifers, especially Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and grand fir
~4.bies grandis), be used for landscaping in individual lots." The intent of this recommendation was not to
provide immediate perch sites for eagles. Trees large enough for eagles to use would be extremely difficult to
transplant and would have a low probability of survival. Our intention was that standard landscape-size trees
(four to six feet) be provided as a part of the landscaping scheme for the d~velopment. One or two of these trees
could be planted in each of the proposed lots. Over a time span of 50 to 100 years, these trees will become large
enough to serve as potential perch trees for eagles, and they will provide replacements for existing trees in the
òpen spaces that eouid die or be blo\\l1 down during that time period.

Response to Wildlife Concerns
Preliminary Plat ofVentana
Federal Way, Washington
Dear Mr. Nielsen:
As requested, we have reviewed the letter from Mr. Chris Carrel (Oct. 30, 1998) regarding wildlife issues on
the Preliminary Plat of Ventana, located between SW 304th Street and SE 306th Street in Federal Way,
Washington. This letter raised questions about four species that Mr. Carrel believes to be on the property.
These are the northern goshawk, owls, pileated woodpeckers, and ensatina salamanders. We conducted a site
visit on November 10, 1998, to investigate the issues raised in those comments and to evaluate the site for
these species. We have also reviewed the letter on SEPA comments from the City of Federal Way (Nov. 18,
1998), which requests additional information on the potential impact of the project on bald eagles.
Northern Goshawk
Mr. Carrel's letter states that he has "frequently observed a breeding pair of northern goshawk foraging on the
site." This statement implies that the goshawks are nesting on the Ventana site.
The northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) is listed as a candidate for status as threatened or endangered by the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW).
The goshawk is a large hawk that feeds on small mammals (rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, etc.) and a variety of
birds (crows, grouse, ducks, pheasants, etc.) (Terres, 1980). Goshawks normally nest in tall trees in heavily
wooded, remote wilderness areas and mountain forests (Harrison, 1979). Goshawks are only rarely observed
in the Puget Sound region, and there are no known nests in western King County (P., Thompson, WDFW,
personal communication 11/11/98). Goshawks are relatively common in the forested areas of the Cascade
Range in eastern King County.
EXHIBIT~.'

c
It is my opinion that Mr. Carrel has seen another hawk in this vicinity and has misidentified it as a northern
goshawk. Cooper's hawks (Accipiter cooperi) are similar to goshawks, and they are relatively common in the
Puget Sound area. Goshawks are generally larger than Cooper's hawks, but there is some overlap in the size
ranges for these species. Cooper's hawk generally feed on small birds captured in forested areas. These hawks
are the most likely raptors to be encountered in the habitat available on the Ventana site.
While on-site, I searched the trees for possible raptor nests, but was unable to locate any. During my three
visits to the site, I have seen no hawks, owls, or eagles on or near the site.
The City of Federal Way Environmentally Sensitive Areas regulations (Article XIV, Sec. 22-1221 through
Sec. 22-1369) includes no specific rules for protection of wildlife or habitat. However, relevant state or
federal regulations regarding wildlife might be applicable. There are no federal regulations specifically
protecting nest sites for Cooper's hawks, and WDFW has no specific management guidelines for Cooper's
hawks. However, Cooper's hawk nests would be covered under general rules prohibiting the destruction of
nests of protected species (R.C.W 77.16.120). The term "protected species" is defined to ~nclude all birds
other than game birds, predatory species, or those otherwise classified as threatened or endangered (W.A.c.
. 232.12.011(3». "Predatory birds" in western Washington are limited to American crow, European starling,
and house sparrow (W.A.c. 232.12.004(2».
The proposed action on the Ventana site will require clearing most of the trees on the property, which would
remove potential foraging habitat for Cooper's hawks. However, large forested areas remain in this vicinity in
Poverty Bay Park, Dash Point State Park, and other wooded ravines. Proposed actions for this site will have
no significant adverse impact on this species or the individuals currently using the site. No mitigation
measures are required or proposed.
Owls
Mr. Carrel reports that he can "frequently hear owls hooting from trees within the Ventana site." It is likely
that Mr. Carrel has heard a great homed owl (Bubo virginianus), a large owl with a deep hooting call. Great
homed owls are common in the Puget Sound region, but they are rarely seen because of their nocturnal habits.
The proposed action on the Ventana site will require clearing most of the trees on the property. Potential
perching and roosting sites for great homed owls will be lost. However, these owls are very adaptable and are
relatively tolerant of human activity. Proposed actions for this site will have no significant adverse impact on
this species or the individuals currently using the site. No mitigation measures are required or proposed.
Pileated Woodpecker
Mr. Carrel's letter states that "a pair of pileated woodpeckers also foråge in the site and may nest there."

The pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pilea/us) is a candidate for listing as a threatened or endangered species
by WDFW. Candidate species are believed to be declining in population and are to by reviewed by WDFW
for possible listing as threatened or endangered. Because pileated woodpeckers are not officially designated as
threatened or endangered, they have no formal regulatory status at this time.
The pileated woodpecker falls into the category of protected species under WDFW regulations as described
above. There are no specific requirements for habitat protection, although WDFW has prepared management
recommendations for this species (Rodrick and Milner, 1991). Those recommendations are logging operations
that would impact large areas of forest. The recommendations are not applicable to a small development in an
urban setting.
Pileated woodpeckers generally inhabit mature and old-growth forests or second-growth forests with sufficient
large snags and fallen trees (Rodrick and Milner, 1991). Pileated woodpeckers are also reported to use open
woodlands, parks, and wooded suburbs (Ehrlich et aI., 1988), and are regularly seen in those habitats in the
Puget Sound vicinity. Pileated woodpeckers excavate cavities in snags or large dead branches for nesting and
usually make a new nest cavity every year. Nest snags are usually greater than 27 inches in diameter and taller
than 87 feet.
Pileated woodpeckers usually forage in forests at least 40 years old, feeding primarily on carpenter ants, beetle
larvae, and other insects in large snags and stumps. In foraging, they dig large distinctive excavations in snags
or live trees, leaving piles of chips on the ground. During the fall season, pileated woodpeckers also feed on
fruits, nuts, and acorns (Ehrlich et at, 1988). The average home range size on the west side of the Cascades is
1,200 acres, but some studies have found that the density of these woodpeckers increased with the abundance
of large conifers and snags (Rodrick and Milner, 1988).
The U.S. Forest Service (1986) recommends maintaining at least 2 snags greater than 12 inches in diameter
per acre, and some snags must be greater than 20 inches in diameter to provide nesting sites.
I located foraging excavations by pileated woodpeckers in six snags on the Ventana site, generally across the
central part of the property. Most of these snags were between 10 and 16 inches in diameter and included red
alder (Alnus rubra) and Douglas fir (Pseudo/suga menziesii). The observed snag density is approximately 0.6
snags per acre. One very large Douglas fir (48 inch diameter) has a snag top with some excavations. This
snag also has a nest cavity that may have been used by pileated woodpeckers. The observed foraging appears
to be relatively old, and no recent chips were found near these trees.
I believe that the Ventana property is much too small to support a pair of pileated woodpeckers and the habitat
is of only marginal suitability. The generally healthy condition of the forest on this site provides a low density
of small snags. I found only one snag in the normal size range for nest cavities (greater than 20 inches in
diameter). It is likely that this site is only a small part of a breeding and foraging territory that may include
Poverty Bay Park, Dash Point State Park, and other heavily wooded areas.

The proposed action on the Ventana site will require clearing most of the trees on the property. Large snags
would have to be removed for safety reasons. However, because of the marginal quality of the habitat and its
limited use for foraging, the proposed actions are not expected to have any significant adverse impact on the
pileated woodpecker. No mitigation measures are required or proposed.
Ensatina
Mr. Carrel reports that the "site is also home to a healthy population of ensatina salamanders." During my
most recent site visit, I found three of these salamanders in a relatively short time, and I agree with Mr.
Carrel's comment. The ensatina is not on any state or federal lists òf threatened, endangered, or sensitive
specIes.
The ensatina is a small salamander that is described by Leonard et al. (1993) as "one of the most widespread
species of salamanders." Leonard et al. (1993) also describe the ensatina as "ubiquitous"-and "commonly
encountered." They can be found easily by searching under logs or other woody debris on the forest floor.
The proposed clearing on the Ventana site will remove most of the trees and woody debris on the property.
Most of the suitable habitat for ensatinas will be lost, although some habitat will remain in the small areas of
preserved open space. Because the ensatina is so common and widespread, the proposed actions for this site
will have no significant adverse impact on this species, and no mitigation measures are required. However,
any existing woody debris or logs should be retained in the open space areas.
Bald Ea!?:le
As noted in our previous letters on bald eagle use of trees in this area (dated February 12, March 19, and July
19, 1998), a pair of bald eagles has a territory on Poverty Bay, with a nest site approximately 2,000 feet north
of the Ventana site. Bald eagles are becoming more common in the Puget Sound region, and it is possible that
adult or immature eagles use the tall trees on the Ventana site for occasional perching. The eagles reported to
have been seen on this site may be the resident eagles from the Poverty Bay territory, or they could be
transients that have no established territory.
As noted above, the City of Federal Way has no specific regulations applying to protection of sensitive species
or their habitat, but state and federal regulations would still apply. The Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife typically requires primary and secondary zones of protection around nest sites. These zones may vary
in size based on specific characteristics of each territory, but the outer protection zone is generally less than
1,000 feet in radius from the nest.
In addition, foraging per,ch trees within 200 feet of a shoreline are protected. Federal guidelines recommend a
primary protection zone with a 330-foot radius and a secondary zone with a 660-foot radius. \

Because the Ventana site is at least 2,000 feet from the nest site and about 2,000 feet from the closest
shoreline, there should be no restriction on site development because of the eagles. The site is not subject to
state or federal bald eagle management guidelines, and no direct mitigation should be required.
In the proposed development plan for the Ventana site, approximately 0.24 acres out of the total of 9.9 acres
on the site will be preserved in one open space tract. This area, Tract 995, is located on a relatively steep slope
adjacent to 26th Avenue SW in the southwest comer of the property. This tract will preserve several large
Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) trees, and some big-leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) and red alder (Alnus
rubra). The tract is on a west-facing slope with a view ofPuget Sound.
It is unlikely that the eagles from the Poverty Bay territory use the trees on the Ventana site for anything more
than incidental resting perches. The site is too far from the nest to be used regularly for territorial defense
perches or overnight roosting. The site is also too far from the shoreline to be used for foraging perches. The
preserved open space tract will retain some trees that could allow occasional eagle use.
The Ventana site is almost completely surrounded by an existing residential development, and éagles using the
site at the present time are probably habituated to residential landscapes and neighborhood activities. It is
, reasonable to expect eagles to continue using the site to the same extent.
Although no direct mitigation is required, in order to maintain the long-tenn potential for use by eagles, we
recommend that additional conifers, especially Douglas fir and grand fir (Abies grandis), be used for
landscaping in individual lots. The intent of this recommendation in not to provide immediate perch sites for
eagles. Trees large enough for eagles to use would be extremely difficult or impossible to transplant and
would have a low probability of survival. Our intention is that standard landscape-size trees (four to six feet)
be provided as a part of the landscaping scheme for the development. One or two of these trees could be
planted in each of the proposed lots. Over a time span of 50 to 100 years, these trees will become large
enough to serve as potential perch trees for eagles, and they will provide replacements for existing trees in the
open spaces that could die or be blown down during that time period. This recommendation has been accepted
as a condition of the MDNS, with the provision that a comparable number of trees be clustered in other parts
of the property.

Federal Way, Washington 98003
Dear Deb:
I have reviewed the infonnation you sent to me concerning the development proposal for tax
parcel # 122103-9022, and have the following comments to offer:
If the City of Federal Way is considering protecting the species discussed in these documents
(bald eagles, goshawks, Cooper's hawks, pileated woodpeckers, etc.) and,the mature forest
habitats they use, it is important to detennine to what extent they are using this site. This is
impossible to establish without field surveys done according to scientific protocol. A thorough
site review for wildlife usage has apparently not been perfonned to date. Regarding northern
goshawks in particular, reports oftheir use of this site may possibly be eIToneous, but goshawk
presence has been documented in the Puget Sound urban area. Anyone with a simple bird
identification book and a pair of binoculars can, with practice, become quite adept at bird
identification, and it would thus be inappropriate to dismiss the reports as misidentification of
Cooper's hawks as goshawks if the mature forest habitats goshawks use are present on the site.
lfthe City of Federal Way wishes to limit degradation of the mature forest habitat now covering
the site, and limit impacts to the species discussed in these documents, the best way to do so is to
retain as many mature trees on the site as possible. The great majority of the "significant" trees
on the site are slated for destruction because they are in future right-of-way, building pads, and
utility easements. As mitigation, I or 2 Douglas fir or,grand fir trees would be planted per site.
First, it is difficult to believe that a development plan with 28% total impervious surface area
would require the destruction of88% of the existing significant trees (210 out of239). An on-
site, tree-by-tree review may help to clarify the actual extent of "necessary" tree removal.
Second, if "replacement" trees are used, significantly larger ones could certainly be planted, and
would provide more wildlife benefit in less time. The stipulations now call for small trees (4-6
feet) to be planted, and only I or 2 per site. This would provide as few as 28 non-significant
trees as replacement for 210 existing significant trees, which clearly constitutes a great
diminishment in habitat value for the wildlife individuals cuITently using tfxfflBn :=J~

Perhaps the most important long-tenn step the City of Federal Way can take is to establish which
habitats and species it will protect, and to what level. Hopefully the sample of items from fish
and wildlife ordinances tr.roughout the state you recently requested from VlDFW will be of
assistance in fonnulating a fish and wildlife ordinance.
To this end, WDFW also strongly recommends adoption of the Priority Habitats and Species
program. This program is centered around a list of fish and wildlife habitats and species WDFW
considers management priorities because of their population status, their vulnerability, or their
recreational, commercial or tribal importance. It is designed to help guide growth in a manner
that will preserve the best and most important habitats for a broader range of fish and wildlife
species. WDFW feels strongly that adoption oftrus program is the best and most practical way
to maintain the health and viability of the complete spectrum offish and wildlife resources. It
provides protection for important and vulnerable wildlife species that are often not otherwise
protected, such as great blue herons and cutthroat trout. WDFW maintains a computer database
of PHS species, and will be glad to offer technical assistance and management recommendations
regarding protection of priority habitats and species.
Our rationale for recommending this is that endangered, threatened, and sensitive species
represent mistakes that have already happened or lack of adequate consideration in land use
changes that have already occurred. A focus on just these categories of wildlife is a reactive
mode of planning that only addresses ways to mend past neglect and mismanagement. A
wildlife protection program for only the most imperiled species is like navigating down a
highway by looking in the rearview mirror; we need to be looking at what the headlights are
showing us.
It is also contrary to the principles of land use planning. The true spirit of planning anticipates
potential conflicts and responds to these in a pro-active manner before they become real
problems. Therefore, effective planning for wildlife must include consideration of those species
that are currently being pushed in the direction of endangered or threatened status. Waiting until
a species becomes precarious before taking any action will ensure that protection plans will be
costly, surrounded by controversy, and less likely to be successful than preventative measures.
WDFW strongly encourages the City of Federal Way to incorporate the PHS program in its
Comprehensive Plan or Critical Areas Ordinance with language such as the following:
Habitats or species that have been identified as priority species or priority habitats by the Washington
Department ofFish and Wildlife Priority Habitats and Species Program should not be reduced and will be
preserved through regulation, acquisition, incentives and other techniques. Habitats and species of local
importance will also be protected in this manner. The City will determine which habitats and species are of
local importance. (The criteria for this designation should be deemed in the Comprehensive Plan or fish
and wildlife ordinance.)

Dear Mr. Sahar:
As requested, we have conducted a geotechnical engineering study for the subject project. The attached report
presents our findings and recommendations for the geotechnical aspects of project design and construction.
Our field exploration indicates the site is generally underlain, at shallow depths, by mediu~ dense outwash sands
and dense glacial till composed of silty sand with gravel. In our opinion, these soil conditions will be suitable for
development of the site as proposed, provided the recommendations presented in this report are incorporated into
project design and construction.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to Wellington Morris Corporation during the design phase of this
project and look forward to working with you during the final design and construction phases.
We trust the information presented in this report is sufficient for your current needs. If you have any questions or
require additional-information, please call.
Sincerely yours,

Ventana
SW 304th Street
Federal Way, Washington

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed Ventana plat will include constructing access and development for 28 lots on an
approximate ten-acre parcel. Preliminary plans, prepared by Pinnacle Engineering, Inc., dated October
16, 1997, show access to the site will be off of 24th Avenue SW, 25th Avenue SW, and SW 304th
...' Street. Site grading to establish roadway grades will consist primarily of cuts varying from two to ten
feet below existing surface elevations. In the southwest portion of the site, cuts approaching 14 feet
below existing grades are planned to create a public access tract and private lot access. Rockeries with
.,J" maximum heights of eight feet will be used to face vertical grade breaks required to construct the
~\ private access to Lot~t the extreme southwest site comer. vÖkP-f. ~ Æ:-Ic¡ r-tktll^-I ') vJ~/?
~i~"A stonnwater detention pond will be constructed in the northwest comer of the site (Tract 994),
\Ãt~ Preliminary plans show interior slopes graded at 2:1 (Horizontal:Vertical) from the adjacent east road
t' shoulder. Treated stonnwater will be discharged through a control structure to a biofiltration swale
located southwest of the detention pond. Lots 1 through 8 and 12 through 15 will have their stonnwater
routed to discharge in an infiltration facility. This facility will consist of a perforated buried structure
installed adjacent to the east side of the roadway, north of Lot 4.
... t). Þ"lMBased on our experience with similar projects, we expect the residential structures will be supported on
~ ¡J~: . a system of bearing walls and isolated columns. We expect structural loads to be about one to two kips
.1 ,/
/ per foot for bearing walls and about 20 kips for interior columns. We also expect main floors will be
framed over a crawl space with attached garage floors constructed at grade.
The recommendations contained in the following sections of this report are based on our understanding .. ¡J , r-
of the above design features. If actual features vary, or if changes are made, we should review the~ ~ ,(")
order to modify our recommendations as required. We should review final design drawings and (.,1 V' .
specifications to verify that our recommendations have been properly inteq:>reted and incorporated into
project design.

SITE CONDITIONS
3.1
Surface
The approximate location of the site is shown on the Vicinity Map, Figure I. Topographic conditions
on the project site are shown on the Exploration Location Plan, Figure 2.
The project site is located between SW 304th Street and SW 306th Street on the east side of 26th
Avenue SW. Existing residences surround the site to the south, east, and north. Topographically, the
site is located on the crest of a north-south trending ridge. The elevation through the center of the
property ranges from Elev. 298 to Elev. 316. Elevations near the east and west boundaries are as low as
Elev. 250 on the west to Elev. 282 in the southeast. The property is wooded with firs, alder, maple
trees, with a dense native understory. -

3.2
Subsurface
In general, we found that a majority of the site is mantled with 6 to 12 inches of forest debris and
topsoil. In the$outhern section off 24th Avenue SW, we encountered numerous stockpiles of
landscaping debris. In all but two test pits, a red-brown silty sand with gravel underlies the surface
mantle to a depth of about two to four feet. Below the red-brown silty sands, the site soils vary.
"
In the south to southeastern section of the site, we encountered a medium dense, tan to brown silty sand
with some gravel overlying dense to very dense glacial till composed of cemented, gray-brown silty
sand with gravel. In Test Pit TP-5, we were able to excavate through the glacial till and observed
medium dense gray sand from 13 to 15 feet.
In the northeast to western sections of the site, we encountered glacial recessional outwash consisting of
silty to clean sands. The brown to gray sands found near the 'surface were silty and occasionally
contained some gravel. We found the deeper sands to be less silty and coarser-grained.- We also
observed some thin silt laminations within the sand units.
, The preceding discussion is intended as a brief review of the soil conditions encountered. For more
detailed descriptions, please refer to the Test Pit Logs in Appendix A.
3.3
Groundwater
We did not observe groundwater seepage in our test pits during exploration. We did; however, observe
some iron stain mottling in some of the deeper sandy soils, which is indicative of groundwater seepage.
Fluctuations in groundwater seepage levels should be expected on a seasonal and arumal basis.
Typically, groundwater seepage reaches maximum levels during and shortly following the wet winter
months and diminishes or is completely absent during the dry summer season.

GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
4.1
Erosion
A review of the Soil Survey for the King County Area identifies the site as being underlain by
Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (Age) and Alderwood Kitsap soils (AleF). These classifications are
consistent with the soils we observed. With the existing slope gradients over most of the site, these soils
will have a low to moderate potential for erosion when exposed. Where site gradients increase, the soil
erosion potential will be high. Erosion protection measures, as required by the City of Federal Way,'
will need to be in place concurrent with the start of grading activity on the site.

Seismic
Tne Puget Sound area falls within Seismic Zone 3, as classified by the 1994 Unifonn Building Code
CUBC). Based on the soil conditions encountered, and the local geology from Table 16-1 of the UBC, a
site coefficient of 1.2 should be used in design.
Liquefaction is a phenomenon where there is a reduction or complete loss of soil strength due to an
increase in water pressure induced by vibrations. Liquefaction mainly affects geologically recent
deposits of fine-grained sands that are below the groundwater table. Soils of this nature derive their
strength trom intergranular fiiction. The generated water pressure, or pore pressure, essentially
separates the soil grains and eliminates this intergranular fiiction, thus eliminating the soils' strength.
Based on the soil and groundwater conditions we encountered, it is our opinion that there is no risk for
liquefaction to occur at this site during an earthquake.
4.3 '
Slope Stability
We did not observe site conditions that would indicate unstable slope conditions exist at the site. Slope
. conditions we observed were stable and there was no surficial evidence that previous slope failure had
occurred at the site. The soil conditions encountered at the test pits are moderately well drained and
exhibit moderate to high strength characteristics. In our opinion, provided recommendations outlined in
this report are followed, planned grading, as ShO\\l1 on preliminary plans prepared by Pinnacle
Engineering, Inc., would not impact the current stability of the site slopes nor those on adjacent
properties.
5.0
DISCUSSION AND RECOMl\1ENDA TIONS
5.1
General
Based on our study, in our opinion, the site is suitable for the proposed development trom a
geotechnical s'tandpoint. The buildings can be supported on conventional spread footings bearing on
competent native soils below the upper 12 to 18 inches of surficial soils. Alternatively, if required by
desired final building elevations, structural fill placed and compacted above these native soils can be
used to support the building foundations. Floor slabs and pavements can be similarly supported.
The native, near-surface soils encountered at the site contain a significant amount of fines and will be
difficult to compact as structural fill when too wet. The ability to use native soil from site excavations
as structural fill will depend on its moisture content and the prevailing weather conditions at the time of
construction. If grading activities will take place during the winter season, the owner should be
prepared to import clean granular material for use as structural fill and backfill.
The following sections provide detailed recommendations regarding the above Issues and other
geotechnical design considerations. These recommendations should be incorporated into the final
design drawings and construction specifications.

5.2
Site Preparation and Gradin2:
To prepare the site for construction, all vegetation, organic surface soils, and other deleterious materials
should be stripped and removed trom the site. You should expect surface stripping depths of about 6 to
12 inches to remove organic topsoil. Stripped vegetation debris should be removed from the site.
Organic topsoil will not be suitable for use as structural fill but may be used for limited depths in non-
structural areas or for landscaping purposes.
Once clearing and grubbing is complete, cuts and fills can be made to establish desired lot and road
grades. Prior to placing fill, we recommend proof rolling all exposed surfaces to detennine if any
isolated soft and yielding areas are present. Cut areas that will provide direct support for new
construction should also be proofrolled.
If excessively yielding areas are observed and they can not be stabilized in place by compaction, the
affected soils should be removed to finn bearing and grade restored with structural fill. If the depth of
excavation to remove unstable soils is excessive, use of geotextile fabric, such as Mirafi HP370 or
equivalent, in conjunction with clean granular structural fill, can be considered to limit the depth of
" removal. In general, experience has shown that a minimum of 18 inches of clean, granular structural fill
over the geotextile fabric should establish a stable bearing surface. A representative of Terra
Associates, Inc. should observe all proofrolling operations. We also recommend field evaluations at the
time of construction to verify stable subgrades.
Native soils vary at the site, ranging from relatively clean sand with gravel to silty sand with up to 39
percent fines (silty and clay size particles). The ability to use native silty soils (USCS classification SM,
SP-SM) from site excavations as structural fill will depend on their moisture content and the prevailing
weather conditions at the time site grading activities take place. The cleaner site soils (USCS
classification SP) should be suitable for use as structural fill during most weather conditions.
If grading activities are planned during the wet winter months, or if they are initiated during the summer
and extend in~o fall and winter, you should be prepared to import wet weather structural fill, For this
purpose, we recommend importing a granular soil which meets the following grading requirements:
U.S. Sieve Size Percent Passing
3 inches 100
No.4 75 maximum
No. 200 5 maximum*
*Based on the 3/4-inch fraction.

Prior to use, Terra Associates, Inc, should examine and test all materials planned to be imported to the
site for use as structural fill.
Structural fill should be placed in uniform loose layers not exceeding 12 inches and compacted to a
minimum of 95 percent of the soils' maximum dry density, as determined by ASTM Test Designation
D-698 (Standard Proctor), The moisture content of the soil at the time of compaction should be within
two percent of its optimum, as determined by this ASTM standard. In non-structural areas, or for
backfill in utility trenches below a depth of four feet, the degree of compaction could be reduced to 90
percent.
'-
5.3
Excavations
All excavations at the site associated with confined spaces, such as utility trenches, must be completed
in accordance with local, state, or federal requirements. Based on current Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, sandy outwash soils found on the north, central, and west
sides of the site would be classified as Group C soils. The dense glacial till soils found on the south half
of the site, would fall into a Group B category.
Accordingly, for excavations more than four feet but less than 20 feet in depth, the side slopes within
the upper four feet should be laid back at a minimum slope inclination of 1.5: 1. Below this level, side
slopes should be completed at a 'minimum gradient of 1: 1. If there is insufficient room to complete the
excavations in this manner, or if excavations greater than 20 feet in depth are planned, using temporary
shoring to support the excavations may need to be considered.
Groundwater seepage should be anticipated within excavations during the winter season. We anticipate
that the volume of water and rate of flow into the excavation will be relatively minor, and is not
expected to impact the stability of the excavations when completed as described above. Conventional
sump pumping procedures along with a system of collection trenches, if necessary, should be capable of
maintaining a relatively dry excavation for construction purposes.
The above information is provided solely for the benefit of the owner and other design consultants and
should not be construed to imply that Terra Associates, Inc. assumes responsibility for job site safety, It
is understood that job site safety is the sole responsibility of the project contractor.
5.4
Foundations
Spread Footings
Residences may be supported on conventional spread footing foundations bearing on competent native
soils or on structural fills placed above competent native soils. Foundation subgrades should be
prepared as recommended in the Site Pr~paration and Grading section of this report. Perimeter
foundations should be at a minimum depth of 18 inches below final exterior grades for frost protection.
Interior foundations can be constructed at any convenient depth below the floor slab.

February 27, 1998
Project No. T-3686-1
For bearing on competent native soils or structural fill, we recommend designing foundations for a net
allowable bearing capacity of 2,500 pounds per square foot (pst). For short-term loads, such as wind
and seismic, a one-third increase in this allowable capacity can be used. With the expected loads, and
this bearing stress applied, the estimated total settlements fall in the range of one-half inch. Continuous
foundations transitioning from native to structural fill support should be stiffened to resist bending
caused by potential differential movement.
For designing foundations to resist lateral loads, a friction coefficient of 0.4 can be used. Passive earth
pressures acting on the side of the footing can also be considered. We recommend calculating this
lateral resistance using an equivalent fluid weight of 350 pounds per cubic foot (pet). This value
assumes the footing will be constructed neat against competent native soil or backfilled with structural
fill, as described in the Site Preparation and Grading section of this report. The passive value
recommended includes a safety factor of 1.5.
5.5
Slab-on-Grade Construction
Slabs-on-grade may be supported on the subgrade prepared as recommended in the Site Preparation and
Grading section of this report. Immediately below the floor slab, we recommend placing a four-inch
thick capillary break layer of clean, free-draining sand or gravel that has less than three percent fines
passing the No. 200 sieve. This material will reduce the potential for upward capillary movement of
water through the underlying soil and subsequent wetting of the floor slab.
Where moisture by vapor transmission is undesirable, a durable plastic membrane should be placed over
the capillary break material. The membrane should be covered with one to two inches of clean, moist
sand to guard against damage during construction and to aid in curing of the concrete.
5.6
Rockeries
We understand two rockeries may be used in the south\vest portion of the site. A rocket}' is not
intended to function as an engineered structure to resist lateral earth pressures as a retaining wall does.
The primary function of a rockery is to cover the exposed excavated surface and thereby retard the
erosion process. Soil conditions encountered in Test Pit TP-I 0 indicate eight feet of loose to medium
dense silty sand over dense, cemented glacial till. The loose to medium dense silty sands will not stand
near-vertical for rockery construction. If rockeries are facing the silty sand soils with heights greater
than four feet, then we recommend excavating out the silty sands and reconstructing the area as a
reinforced structural fill rockery. Rockeries of four feet and less can be constructed against the loose to
medium dense silty sands without reinforcement. We recommend limiting rockeries to a height of eight
feet where placed against the dense glacial till soils and against the reinforced fill section. Typical
rockery construction details are included on Figures 3 and 4.

The construction of rockeries is, to a large extent, not entirely controlled by engineering methods and
standards. It is imperative that rockeries are constructed properly and with care. An experienced
contractor, with a proven ability in rockery construction, should perform the work. The rockeries
should be constructed with hard, sound, and durable rock in accordance with accepted local practices.
"
5.7
Stormwater Detention Pond
A stonnwater detention pond will be constructed in Tract 994, in the northwest comer of the site. Based
on the pond location, we expect the eastern side will be excavated down on the naturally sloping grades
from east to west. An earth berm will likely be constructed along the western, northern, and southern
sides to establish the desired pond crest elevations. Detained and treated stormwater will be discharged
through a control structure into a biofiltration swale southwest of the pond. With the existing surface
grades, the potential thickness of fill required to construct the earth berm will be approximately six to
eight feet.
Our field exploration indicates that the soil conditions encountered in a predominant portion of the pond
excavation should consist of loose to medium dense silty sand to sand with gravel. We did not observe
any groundwater seepage at the time of our exploration.
Fill used in construction of the earth benns should consist of the native silty sands to glacial tills placed
and compacted as structural fill. With the soil conditions encountered, and perimeter berms constructed
with structural fill, stable slope configurations will be provided with the proposed pond grading.
However, the 2: I interior slopes will be susceptible to sloughing caused by fluctuating pond water
levels. To mitigate this sloughing potential, we recommend a one-foot thick surface cover of four to
ten-inch size quarry rock be placed on all the ponds' interior slopes up to the maximum water level.
The first year of service will require periodic inspections to monitor the perfonnance of the surface
cover. Additional quarry rock may be required through time to maintain the slope surface.
5.8
Infiltration
Southwest Section
The loose, near-surface soils overlying the cemented glacial till will allow infiltration of surface water
runoff. However, the underlying till is relatively impermeable. In general, water that would be
infiltrated through the upper soil zone would become perched on the underlying dense till. The till has a
relatively low penneability and will impede the downward migration of the infiltrated water. As a
result, seepage will develop and flow laterally along the till contact. The till contact typically parallels
the existing surface topography. Therefore, it is likely that infiltrated water would flow downslope to
the west and would not infiltrate into the deeper site soils. Based on these conditions, it is our opinion
that infiltration would not be feasible in the glacial till locations.

Northeast Infiltration Facility
The gray sand encountered in this area, at Test Pit TP-I at a depth of about 13 feet below existing
surface grade, would allow for infiltration of surface water runoff. The infiltration system should be
designed for an infiltration rate of three inches per hour. No construction stormwater should be
discharged to this facility. The system should include a pretreatment bay to remove debris from the
collected roof water prior to discharging to the ground.
5.9
Draina2e
Surface
Final exterior grades should promote free and positive drainage away from the site at all times. Water
must not be allowed to pond or collect adjacent to foundations or within the immediate building areas.
We recommend providing a gradient of at least three percent for a minimum distance of ten feet from
the residences perimeters. If this cannot be completed, provisions should be included for collection and
" disposal of surface water adjacent to the structures.
Subsurface
We recommend installing perimeter foundation drains. Roof and foundation drains should be tightlined
separately to the storm drains. Subsurface drains must be laid with a gradient sufficient to promote
positive flow to a controlled point of approved discharge. All drains should be provided with cleanouts
at easily accessible locations.
5.10
Utilities
Utility pipes should be bedded and backfilled in accordance with American Public Works Association
(APW A) or the City of Federal Way specifications. As a minimum, trench backfill should be placed
and compacted as structural fill, as described in the Site Preparation and Grading section of this report.
As noted, most soils excavated on-site should be suitable for use as backfill material during dry weather
conditions. However, if utility construction takes place during the winter, it will likely be necessary to
import suitable wet weather fill for utility trench backfilling.
5.11
Pavements
Pavements should be constructed on subgrades prepared as described in the Site Preparation and
Grading section of this report. Regardless of the relative compaction achieved. the subgrade must be
firm and relatively unyielding before paving. The subgrade should be proofrolled with heavy
construction equipment to verify this condition.

February 27, 1998
Project No. T-3686-1
The appropriate pavement section depends on the supporting capability of the subgrade soils and the
traffic conditions to which it will be subjected. We understand that traffic will mainly consist of light
passenger traffic, with only occasional heavy traffic in the fonn of moving trucks and trash removal
vehicles.
Based on this infonnation, with a stable subgrade prepared as recommended, we recommend the
following pavement sections:
.
Two inches of asphalt concrete (AC) over six inches of crushed rock base (CRB)
.
Two inches of AC over four inches of asphalt treated base (A TB)
The paving materials used should confonn to the Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT) specifications for Class B AC, A TB, and CRB.
Long-term pavement performance will depend on surface drainage. A poorly-drained pavement section
will be subject to premature failure as a result of surface water infiltrating into the subgrade soils and
reducing their supporting capability. To improve performance, we recommend surface drainage
" gradients of at least two percent. Some longitudinal and transverse cracking of the pavement surface
should be expected over time. Regular maintenance should be planned to seal cracks when they occur.
6.0
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Terra Associates, Inc. should review the final design and specifications in order to verify that earthwork
and foundation recommendations have been properly interpreted and implemented in project design.
We should also provide geotechnical services during construction in order to observe compliance with
the design concepts, specifications, and recommendations. This will allow for design changes if
subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated prior to the start of construction.

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
.'
Ventana '
Federal Way, Washington
On September 24, 1997, we perfonned our field exploration using a mid-sized trackhoe. We explored
subsurface soil conditions at the site by excavating ten test pits to a maximum depth of 18 feet below
existing grade. The test pit locations are shown on Figure 2. The test pit locations were approximately
detennined by measurements hom the existing property line, fences, and walls. Test pit elevations were
interpreted from the topographic survey, prepared by Pinnacle Engineering, Inc., dated March 1997.
The Test Pit Logs are presented on Figures A-2 through A-6.
A geologist hom our office conducted the field exploration and classified the soil cQnditions
encountered, maintained a log of each test pit, obtained representative soil samples, and observed
pertinent site features. All soil samples were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil
"Classification System (USCS) described on Figure A-I.
Representative soil samples obtained from the test pits were placed in closed containers and taken to our
laboratory for further examination and testing. The moisture content of each sample was measured and
is reported on the Test Pit Logs. Grain size analyses were perfonned on sixteen of the samples, the
results of which are shown on Figures A-7 through A-14.

INTRODUCTION
Wellington-Morris Corporation is planning to develop a 9.9 acre parcel in Federal Way, King
County for residential housing. The City of Federal Way requested that a heritage resource
investigation of the project area be completed prior to issuing a construction permit. Northwest
Archaeological Associates, Inc. (NWAA) was retained by Wellington-Morris to conduct
background research and a survey of the ten-acre parcel in November, 1998. Laws of the state
of Washington which may apply to the project include the Indian Graves and Records Act (RCW
27.44) which prohibits knowingly disturbing a Native American or historic grave, and the
Archaeological Sites and Resources Act (RCW 27.53) which requires that anyone proposing to
excavate into, disturb, or remove artifacts from an archaeological site on public or private lands
obtain a permit from the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (OAHP) (Appendix A).
Project Location
The project area consists of a wooded block between SW 304th St. and SW 306th Pl., and
between 24th and 26th Ave. SW in T. 21 N., R. 3 E., NE % Section 12 (Figures 1 and 2). It is
situated on a low ridge at the edge of the bluff above Dumas and Poverty bays. Elevation of the
parcel ranges from 300 to about 330 ft. asl.
ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
Geology
The Puget Trough is part of a partially submerged regional depression that extends from British
Columbia to the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Bedrock consists of sedimentary and igneous rock
of the Tertiary, including andesite and basalt. The surface geology is largely a product of late
Pleistocene deposition, which mantled the area with sands, silts, and gravels. During the final
glacial advaAce of the Pleistocene, the ice was approximately 3,400 ft. (1,035 m.) thick in the
Seattle area. Continental ice began to retreat about 15,000 B.P. (years Before Present), and by
c. 13,500 B.P., the southern Puget Lowlands were free of ice (Waitt and Thorson 1983). The
retreating ice deposited glacial drift, forming an extensive rolling plain between the Sound and
the Cascade foothills, which was subsequently cut by glacial meltwater. Many of the landscape
features are glacial in origin, formed as moraines, terraces, ridges, kettle lakes and bogs, and
broad channels cut through till by outwash streams.
During the Holocene, rivers and streams cut through the drift and occupied outwash channels,
depositing alluvium over outwash sediments. Colluvial sediments have been deposited on valley
slopes and floors, triggered in some cases by tectonic activity, which recent studies suggest has
been fairly common in the Puget Lowlands. An earthquake along the Seattle Fault dating
between 1,100 and 1,700 B. P. caused rapid uplift south of the fault and subsiden,ce to its north,
landslides into lakes Washington and Sammamish, and a tsunami in Puget Sound (Bucknam et
al. 1992; Atwater and Moore 1992).

Native vegetation of the project area consists of forests of the Tsuga heterophylla (Westen;!
Hemlock) Zone. which are characterized by western hemlock. western red cedar, and Douglas
fir. with a dense shrub and herbaceous understory (Franklin and Dyrness 1973). Vegetation in
the Puget Lowlands includes higher proportions of taxa favoring somewhat drier conditions,
including madrona. Douglas fir. bracken fern, grasses, hazel, and Oregon white oak. Parklands
and prairies were common during the early historic period. some of which were created or
maintained by American Indians. who deliberately burned them to prevent forest encroachment
and to enhance the productivity of certain plant foods and forage (Norton 1979). Along stream
courses and on floodplains, red alder, black cottonwood. big leaf and vine maple, and other
riparian taxa predominate. Lower river valleys typically included numerous wetlands, supporting
taxa such as cattail, reeds, and wapato.
Fauna
}
oj
Prior to extensive historic period settlement, the Puget Lowlands were populated by numerous
species of large and small mammals, fish, and birds. Deer, elk. cougar. and black bear were
present throughout the Puget Lowlands, along with birds such as pheasant. quail, and grouse.
Beaver. muskrat, river otter, skunk, coyote. red fox, and weasel were common in riparian ,
woodlands, ponds, and swamps. Lakes. ponds, and marshy areas were populated by migratory
and resident waterfowl, including a variety of ducks, geese, and swans. Freshwater fish such as
suckers, whitefish, Dolly Varden, and steel head trout occupied rivers, streams, and lakes, while
chinook. coho, and chum salmon spawned in local rivers and creeks (Larrison 1967; Salo and
McComas 1979). Salmon were also available in the Sound, along with cod, herring, sole, and
other fish, shellfish, crabs, marine mammals such as seals, porpoise. and otters, and waterfowl.

Paleoenvironments
Studies of pollen from dated contexts in the Puget Lowlands indicate that vegetation and climate
changed substantially during the late Pleistocene and early to middle Holocene (Whitlock 1992).
Pioneer and early successional species such as lodgepole pine, bracken fern, and alder
colonized the newly deglaciated landscape of western Washington, followed by Douglas fir.
Between c. 10,000 and 6,000-5,000 B.P., summer temperatures were higher and effective
moisture lower, conditions marked by the expansion of prairies in the Puget Lowlands and
expansion of Douglas fir, oak, hazel, grasses, and bracken fern. Cedar and hemlock began to
increase after c. 7,000 B.P., becoming dominant by about 5,000 B.P. and marking the onset of
the modern climatic regime and development of closed climax forests. No major changes are
evident between then and the historic period, when native vegetation was disrupted by land
clearance.

Prehistory
The earliest evidence of human occupation in western Washington consists of a small number of
fluted projectile points characteristic of the period between 12,000-11,000 B.P., and Olcott sites,
thought to represent an early period of occupation prior to development of marine-oriented
cultures (Carlson 1990; Mattson 1971). These assemblages were traditionally interpreted as
representing a subsistence strategy focused on hunting large land mammals, although they are
more likely only one component of a more diverse adaptation. Sites dating to before 5,000 B.P.
are rare on the coast, probably due to several factors including poor preservation conditions,
submersion by subsequent sea level rise, and differences in the distribution of intertidal and
marine resources.
'"1
,J
After c. 5,000 B.P., larger populations organized in more complex ways exploited a wide range of
locally available resources, including shellfish, salmon, berries, roots, and bulbs, with an
increasing emphasis on salmon over time. Shell middens are numerous on saltwater shorelines.
Ground stone, bone, antler, and shell tools, associated with fishing, marine mammal hunting, and
plant processing, became increasingly more common and diversified. Full-scale development of
marine-oriented cultures on the coast, and inland hunting, gathering and riverine fishing traditions,
as represented in the ethnographic record are apparent after c. 2,500 B.P. A wide variety of
ground and chipped stone and bone artifacts made of both local and imported materials occur,
representing complex and diversified technologies for fishing, hunting, processing and storage
(Blukis Onat 1987; Nelson 1990).

With Euroamerican contact, drastic changes in native populations, community composition, and
cultural traditions occurred (Boyd 1990). Smallpox and other epidemic diseases significantly
reduced native populations even before direct contact, and the introduction of guns, iron tools,
processed and non-native foods, alcohol, and other goods also affected Native economies. After
Fort Nisqually was established in 1833, Indians began trading for goods on a regular basis. By
the time the first white settlers moved into the White River (now Green River) Valley, thousands
of bushels of potatoes were being cultivated by American Indians (Chatters 1981).
Ethnography and Ethnohistory
The project area is in the historic period territory of the Puyallup (Spier 1936), who utilized the
Puyallup and upper Carbon River drainages. Villages were between the mouth of the Puyallup
River and Orting, near the mouth of the Carbon River (Carpenter 1981; Smith 1940). Members
of 13 villages consisting of confederated bands from the Puyallup, Carbon, and Stuck River
watersheds were assigned to the Puyallup Reservation (Indian Claims Commission 1963:6, cited
in Carpenter 1981:488).
The Duwamish occupied the area just north and northeast, from Elliott Bay to the pre-1906
junction of the White and Green rivers at present-day Auburn. Three originally distinct bands, the
Skopamish, Stakamish, and Skulkamish, occupied the Green and White River drainages from

Auburn to their headwaters in the Cascades. As was typical of the puget Sound Salish, each of
these groups and villages was politically autonomous although bound to others in the watershed
by kinship, language, and social and economic interactions of various kinds (Smith 1941).
Members of the Green and White River groups were later assigned to the Muckleshoot
Reservation. The Duwamish were assigned to the Suquamish Reservation at Point Madison on
the Kitsap Peninsula, although some Duwamish from the lower White "(now Green) River Valley
went to the Muckleshoot Reservation (Baenen 1981; Lane 1973; Smith 1940).

Puget Sound Salish-speaking groups, including the Puyallup, Duwamish, and Green-White River
groups (Muckleshoot), spent winters in permanent villages of cedar plank houses located mainly
at river confluences and on lower river courses. The Duwamish also had villages on Puget
Sound. During the spring, summer and fall, members of each village split up into smaller family
groups and moved to seasonal camps and locations to fish, hunt, and gather resources. The
Puyallup and Muckleshoot traveled to Puget Sound to collect shellfish and other saltwater
resources, but they focused their activities on fishing for salmon in the rivers and on hunting and
gathering in inland prairies, wetlands, lakes, and forests. The Duwamish relied primarily on
marine resources, including shellfish, fish, and marine mammals.
..,
A network of trails provided access from inland villages and camps, including the village at the
historic Green-White River confluence, to Puget Sound. Puyallup, Muckleshoot, and other
groups traveled over them to shellfish collecting areas at Redondo Beach and other parts of
Poverty Bay between Des Moines and Three Tree Point (Robinson 1993; Smith 1940:26;
Waterman c. 1920). Several ethnographic myths are set in this area, and landmarks located at
and near the mouth of Mill Creek and Redondo Creek, and at Steel and Doloff lakes (Buerge
1989).

History
The earliest Euroamerican settlers in the southern Puget Lowlands arrived c. 1850, claiming
lands in the Duwamish, White, Puyallup, and other lower river valleys where there was good
agricultural land and access to navigable waterways. Shortly afterward, regional discontent
among American Indians over being moved out of their lands by white settlement and
unfavorable treaty terms erupted into open conflict. In the project vicinity, there was
dissatisfaction with the terms of the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855, which assigned Duwamish,
Green, and White river groups to the Suquamish Reservation on the Kitsap Peninsula, far from
their traditional territories.
Hostilities in the White River Valley ended with the signing of the Medicine Creek Treaty, which
established the Muckleshoot Reservation for Green and White River groups in 1857. Whites
moved back into the valley slowly and by 1870, all good river land had been claimed. Less
productive agricultural land and transportation difficulties kept most settlers out of the uplands
between the White (Green) River Valley and Puget Sound until after Highway 99 was completed
in 1918. A few homesteads were established east of the project area during the latter half of the
nineteenth century. Access trails and wagon roads were built off a military road to Fort
Steilacoom constructed in the 1850s (Robinson 1993).

Only a few archaeological projects have taken place in the Federal Way area, All have been
small-scale investigations associated with cultural resource management requirements (Grant
1994; Robinson 1993, 1996). Earlier investigations focused on shoreline surveys (e.g., Bryan
1955; Winterhouse 1948). Four sites are recorded within approximately three miles of the project
location:
45-KI-3: This shell midden is the earliest recorded site in the area (Bryan 1953). It is
located on the shore of Poverty Bay near the mouth of Cold Brook, c. 1.7 mi. northeast of
the project area. Burials were found on the slope behind the beach.
45-PI-42: This site is located east of Dash Point and approximately 2.2 mi. west of the
project area. Human bones were found eroding out of a stream bank 0.2 mi. from the
beach. A ranger at Dash Point State Park also observed a site in this area, which was
later covered by a parking lot.
~, >,:".,1
T]
45-KI-58: This site, a shell midden, is located on a 30 degree slope on the bank of
Lakota Stream, c. 100 m (330 ft.) inland from the beach. It is the closest recorded site to
the project area, which is about 0.5 mi. east at the top of the slope.

45-PI-41: This site is a shell midden located at Dash Point, c. three miles west of the
project area. A single burial was recorded, as well as jadeite adzes with antler hafting.

Based on the setting, historic and ethnographiclethnohistoric information, and known
archaeological sites in the region, the project area is considered to have a moderate probability
of containing heritage resources. Prehistoric and ethnohistoric sites are likely to be temporary
camps or resource locations such as hunting or plant collecting areas. Sites could be associated
with the trail-network leading from the White/Green River valleys to Poverty Bay. Historic period
remains could include evidence of logging such as skid trails, roads, or springboard-notched
trees; structure foundations, vehicle remains, glass, ceramic, metal and other domestic debris,
non-native/planted trees or shrubs. There is also a possibility that burials are present on the site:
A long-time resident of the area stated that there had been burial plots on the Burt House Plat,
according to a woman living in the neighborhood (Clark 1998). She was unsure whether they
were white or American Indian burials.
METHODS
A crew of two archaeologists conducted a pedestrian survey of the property area on November
25, 1998. Transects were oriented north-south and spaced approximately 30 m (98 ft.) apart.
Transects deviated somewhat where vegetation growth was too thick to penetrate, although
variations were minor. Because surface visibility was very low, the duff was scraped away with

shovels and the mineral soil exposed at 10 to 30 m intervals on each transect. Eight transects
were completed.

No prehistoric cultural material was observed during the survey. A small amount of modem
debris, including glass, plastic, and aluminum cans, was found on the surface or in the duff. Two
scraped/graded areas were observed on the top and upper east slope of the ridge near the north
end of the project area. Several mounds and borrow excavations, apparently constructed for
bicycles. were found around the graded areas. A small number of concrete blocks and bricks
were also seen in this area, several of which were stacked against the base of a tree, but no
evidence of foundations or other remains of razed structures was observed. Surface visibility
was poor throughout the project area, however. covered by a thick understory of Oregon grape,
salal, ferns, ivy, salmonberry, and other shrubs and groundcover. Several dirt paths/tracks ran
through the project area. providing somewhat better visibility, but they were substantially covered
with leaves.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
J
None of the debris observed appears to be associated with a potentially significant historic or
prehistoric site. Any structures that might have been located on the property may have been
razed and most of the debris removed. Although the presence of any extensive sites appears
unlikely based on the results of the survey. heritage resources not located by the survey could be
exposed by land clearing and construction. The Puyallup. Muckleshoot, or Suquamish also may
have information relevant to the project area or other concerns which should be addressed (see
Appendix B). These concerns can be addressed in the final report.

If the project goes forward. personnel working on the site should be alerted to the possibility that
archaeological remains could be exposed and informed about procedures to be enacted if they
are found. œvidence of prehistoric sites that could be encountered includes concentrations of
organic material, shell. fire modified rock, charcoal, burned or oxidized sediments, bone, or
lithics. If such materials are found, work should be suspended at that location until the Office of
Archaeology and Historic Preservation (OAHP) and a professional archaeologist can be
contacted. If suspected historic or prehistoric human remains are found. the King County
Medical Examiner, OAHP. tribes. and an archaeologist should be contacted.

The legislature hereby declares that:
(1) Native Indian burial grounds and historic graves are acknowledged to be a finite, irreplaceable,
and nonrenewable cultural resource, arid are an intrinsic part of the cultural heritage of the people of
Washington. The legislature recognizes the value and importance of respecting all graves, and the
spiritual significance of such sites to the people of this state;
(2) There have been reports and incidents of deliberate interference with native Indian and historic
graves for profit-making motives;
(3) There has been careless indifference in cases of accidental disturbance of sites, graves, and
burial grounds;
(4) Indian burial sites, cairns, glyptic markings, and historic graves located on public and private
land are to be protected and it is therefore the legislature's intent to encourage voluntary reporting and
respectful handling in cases of accidental disturbance and provide enhanced penalties for deliberate
desecration. [1989 c 44 § I.] f XHIR!l ~L~_t\1;

these occasional, recreational activities except in areas where necessary to protect underwater historic archaeological sites.
The legislature also recognizes that salvors who invest in a project to salvage underwater archaeological resources on
state-owned aquatic lands should be required to obtain a state permit for their operation in order to protect the interest of the
people of the state, as well as to protect the interest of the salvors who have invested considerable time and money in the

Re: Ventana Subdivision
Log No: 110298-03-KI
Dear Ms. Barker;
We have reviewed the draft professional archaeological survey report for the Ventana Subdivision by Ms.
Meg Nelson. We would suggest that information regarding the local history and, in particular, any
, information on the Burt House Plat that is found be incorporated into the final version. Any subsequent
fieldwork should be guided by this information. We would also recommend a monitoring plan be
developed to assure that any graves or burial not found during the survey phase are identified early in any
subsequent land clearing activities. We would appreciate receiving the final version when it is available.
These comments are based on the information available at the time of this review. Should additional
information become available, our assessment may be revised. In the event that archaeological or historic
materials are discovered during project activities, work in the immediate vicinity should be discontinued,
the area secured, and this office notified.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment and a copy of these comments should be included in
subsequent environmental documents.
Sincerely,
~

March 9, 1998
Re:
Ventana Petition
I have reviewed the petition submitted on February II, 1998. The petitions request that 25th
Avenue SW, currently ending in a temporary cul-de-sac in the plat of View cliff, not be connected
to the proposed Ventana subdivision. The petitioners are concerned that extending-25th Avenue
SW will generate more traffic, disrupt the quality of life, and expose residents of View cliff to
more crime, speeding, and traffic safety hazards. Based on my review ofthe Federal Way City
Code and the Comprehensive Plan, I have the following technical comments responding to the
petitioners' request:
Federal Way City Code
Below are the Federal Way City Code sections applicable to the petitioner's concerns:
Section 20-2. Purpose.
This chapter is adopted in furtherance of the comprehensive plan of the city. It is hereby
declared that the regulations contained in this chapter are necessary to:
(1) Promote the health, safety, and general welfare in accordance with standards established
by the state and the city;
Promote effective useo! land by preventing the overcrowding or scattered development
which would injure health, safety, or the general welfare due to the lack of water
supplies, sanitary sewer, drainage, transportation or other public services, or excessive
expenditure of public funds for such services;
Avoid congestion and promote safe and convenient travel by the public on streets and
highways though the proper planning and coordination of new streets within subdivisions
with existing and planned streets in the surrounding community;...
Provide for proper ingress and egress;...
(2)
(3)
(6)
This section finds that the requirements of Chapter 20 are necessary for general safety and
welfare. Particular note should be made of subsection 3, requiring "coordination" of
existing and new streets. EXHIBiT ~'. .~L~.~-
EXHIBIT X
PAGE-LOF ---1-
('
c
Section 20-151. Subdivision design
(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.
Streets.should be coordinated with existing intersections to avoid offsetting new
intersections, and should intersect at a 90-degree angle plus or minus five degrees.
Cul-de-sac streets should be no longer than 600 feet.
Blocks should be no longer than 1,200 feet without an intersecting connector road.
Subdivisions on steep slopes should be designed so that streets are constructed generally
parallel, rather than perpendicular, to the slope;
Streets should be designed in conformance with adopted standards for sight distance at
intersections, as prescribed in section 22-1151 et seq.
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
(f)
'.
"Overburdening of residential streets" cited in subsection (a) is defined as exceeding the
traffic volumes for each street classification in the Comprehensive Plan. All streets
abutting and within the proposed Ventana subdivision are classified as local streets. Table
ill-3 in the Comprehensive Plan shows that local streets can be expected to handle up to
1,500 vehicles per day. Based on Institute of Transportation Engineer's Trip "Generation,
a street would have to serve as the sole access of more than 150 single-family homes to
exceed 1,500 vehicles per day. Nothing in the Ventana subdivision proposal would result
in any local street carrying more than 1,500 vehicles per day.
Subsection (a) states that subdivisions should be designed to connect with planned or
existing streets. It should also be noted that the existing cul-de-sac in Viewcliff is shown
on the face of the plat as temporary. It was intended, at the time of plat approval by King
County, that 25th Avenue SW be extended southward. Additionally, requiring 25th
Avenue SW be to the existing plat of View cliff would eliminate the non-conformance of
the existing cul-de-sac in Viewcliff.
Subsection (d) requires that the block fonned by Viewcliff and Ventana streets combined
be no longer than 1,200 feet. To meet this requirement, S 304th Street could be extended
tTom 24th Avenue SW to 25th Avenue SW.
Land Use Goals and Policies of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan
Below are the Comprehensive Plan Goals and policies applicable to the petitioners' issues:
Land Use Goal 3:
Preserve and protect Federal Way single family neighborhoods.
LUP 14:
Maintain and protect the character of existing and future single family
neighborhoods through strict enforcement of the City's land use regulations.
This policy presumes that existing city codes provide standards that serve to
maintain and protect single family neighborhoods. A substantial amount of text in
the Comprehensive Plan reflects principles of neo-traditional neighborhood ~
E~~ I BIT. L~Rt

(
c
planning. Tills school of thought suggests that providing a smaller grid of streets
disperses veillcular traffic more effectively, provides shorter walking distances
between origins and destinations that in turn reduces vehicular use, improves air
quality, improves safety, and encourages a feeling of community. Hence, the
.existing code's limits on the length of blocks and cul-de-sacs are intended to meet
the adopted goals and policies.
LUP 17:
Encourage the development of transportation routes and facilities to service
single family neighborhoods. Special attention should be given to pedestrian
circulation.
Tills policy reinforces the concept of providing multiple paths between destinations
to reduce the negative impacts of auto use and improve pedestrian circulation.
LUP 25:
Encourage the establishment of street patterns and amenities that encourage
walking, bicycling, and transit use.
Tills policy is also consistent with neo-traditional neighborhood planning and
supports multiple paths between destinations. .
'.
Transportation Goals and Policies of the Federal Wa,y Com,prehensive Plan
The Transportation chapter of the Comprehensive Plan establishes the ftamework for providing a
transportation system (facilities and services) and focuses on actions needed to create and manage
the transportation inftastructure and services.
Transportation Goal J:
b.
Maintain mobility for residents and business through a balanced
integrated system of street alternatives that:
Reduce auto dependency, especially single occupant vehicle use
Support the land use vision and pIan
Protect and enhance the environment and quality of life
c.
d
Tills goal is consistent with the principles of neo-traditional neighborhood planning.
TP5: Protect neighborhoods from traffic impacts.
Tills policy is intended to encourage development that channels large volumes of traffic
away from existing development willIe still providing connectivity between
neighborhoods. The Ventana subdivision's street network would not add significant
volumes of traffic to streets within Viewcliff. The connection to the proposed Ventana
subdivision would provide an alternative vehicle and pedestrain route for the residents of
Viewcliff.
Transportation Goal 2:
Provicie' a safe efficient and economic street system with sufficient
capacity to move people, goods, and services at an appropriate
, lò1 tfé

PAGE ~ OF If
(.
c
level of service. The City shall develop and adopt policies for the
construction, reconstruction, maintenance, and preservation of
new and existingfaci/ities, such as gravel and substandard streets.
TP20: Take a.4vantage of opportunities to open new road connections to create route
alternatives, especially in areas with few access choices.
Viewcliffhas one source of access, at S 304th Street. By connecting Viewcliffthrough
Ventana to the plat of Lakota Higlùands, VÌewcIiffwill obtain an alternative route.
TP 2 J: Enhance traffic circulation and access with closer spacing of through streets as follows:
a. Arterial streets at least every 1,200 feet in single family zones and every 600 feet
in non-single-family zones.
Collector streets every 600 feet in single-family zones and every 600 feet in non-
single-family zones.
b.
If this policy had been canied out before and during the platting of View clift; collector
streets would be located at SW 300th Street, SW 302nd Street, and SW 304th Street, as
well as 24th Avenue SW and 26th Avenue SW. However, the nearest collector to
Viewcliffis 21st Avenue SW. The plat ofViewcIiffPhase 2 has addressed neighborhood
connectivity by providing a stub street (a temporary cul-de-sac) at 25th Avenue SW.
Connecting the plats of Viewcliff and Ventana would help meet the policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
TG4: Enhance community livability and transportation by providing a connected system of
bike and pedestrian ways that is also integrated into a coordinated regional network.
TP52: Work to extend the existing system of sidewalks bikeways, and equestrian ways in the City
to provide safe access to public transit, neighborhood and business centers, parks,
schools, public facilities, and other recreational attractions.
Connecting Viewcliff and Ventana subdivisions will provide alternative routes for vehicles
and pedestrians, thus improving circulation within the vicinity of both subdivisions.
Summary
The proposed street layout of the Ventana subdivision is consistent with existing codes and
Comprehensive Plan goals and policies.

Subject;
Petition to the city of Federal Way city
Council:
We the following, all residents of VIEWCLIFF subdivision,
bordering on the north of the proposed VENTANA subdivision,
hereby petition and request that 25th. Ave SW, currently
ending in a cul-de-sac in VIEWCLIFF, not be connected into
the proposed VENT ANA subdi vision. 25th Ave SW should be
allowed to rema.in as it is, a ' dead end' in the VIEWCLIFF
subdivision.
VIEWCLIFF has been in existence since 1960. Access has
always been from SW 304th street ONLY, and has never been a
problem.
Crime in VIEWCLIFF has increased in the past few years with
breaking into c.ars, theft of electronic equipment, threatened
assaul t to a homeowner, theft of a mans business tools, to
name a few instances. Traffic is currently a concern with
several young people dri ving at excessi ve rates of speed
through the neighborhood which is a concern to all,
especially families with small children. opening up 25th.
AvenueSW will only increase traffic though VIEWCLIFF.
. .. lJ) .
openJ.ng up 25th Ave SW w.1.ll generate more traff1.c, not so
much from the residents of VENTANA, as using 25th through
VIEWCLIFF would be out of their way for access to their
homes, but from casual traffic that has no need to be in
VIEWCLIFF. Additional traffic into our neighborhood will
disturb the quality of life we now enjoy and will expose us
to more potential crim~nals, speeding and safety threats to
all, especially children. Crime has already become a problem
as stated above and documented in Federal Way Police records.
Access for emergency vehicles is not a concern. VIEWCLIFF
has existed with one entrance-exit for approximately 38 years
with no access problem. We have no concern for having SW
304th the only access to our neighborhood.

Memorandum
Public Works Traffic Division

From:
Date:
March 9, 1998
Re:
Ventana Petition
I have reviewed the petition submitted on February 11, 1998. The petitions request that 25th
Avenue SW, currently ending in a temporary cul-de-sac in the plat ofViewclifl: not be connected
to the proposed Ventana subdivision. The petitioners are concerned that extending 25th Avenue
SW will generate more traffic, disrupt the quality of life, and expose residents of View cliff to
more crime, speeding, and traffic safety hazards. Based on my review of the Federal Way City
Code and the Comprehensive Plan, I have the following technical comments responding to the
petitioners' request:
Federal Way City Code
Below are the Federal Way City Code sections applicable to the petitioner's concerns:
Section 20-2. Purpose.
This chapter is adopted in furtherance of the comprehensive plan of the city. It is hereby
declared that the regulations contained in this chapter are necessary to:
(1) Promote the health, safety, and general welfare in accordance with standards established
by the state and the city;
Promote effective use of land by preventing the overcrowding or scattered development
which would injure health, safety, or the general welfare due to the lack ofwater
supplies, sanitary sewer, drainage, transportation or other public services, or excessive
expenditure of public funds for such services;
Avoid congestion and promote safe and convenient travel by the public on streets and
highways though the proper planning and coordination of new streets within subdivisions
with existing and planned streets in the su"ounding community;...
Provide for proper ingress and egress;...
(2)
(3)
(6)
This section finds that the requirements of Chapter 20 are necessary for general safety and
welfare. Particular note should be made of subsection 3, requiring "coordination" of
existing and new streets.
~ 6\) t\'~
EXHIBIT ~
PAGE ~ OF q
. "~ \ ~
. Section 20-151. Subdivision design
(a) Subdivisions should be designed so that traffic is distributed in a logical manner toward
a collector street system, to avoid intrusion ar.d overburdening of residential streets, and
to connect with planned or existing streets.
Street~ should be coordinated with existing intersections -to avoid offsetting new
intersections, and should intersect at a 90-degree angle plus or minus five degrees.
Cul-de-sac streets should be no longer than 600 feet.
Blocks should be no longer than 1,200 feet without an intersecting connector road.
Subdivisions on steep slopes should be designed so that streets are constructed generally
parallel, rather than perpendicular, to the slope;
Streets should be designed in conformance with adopted standards for sight distance at
intersections, as prescribed in section 22-1151 et seq.
" ,
'"
(
(
(h)
(c)
(d)
(e)
(f)
«Overburdening of residential streets" cited in subsection (a) is defined as exceeding the
traffic volumes for each street classification in the Comprehensive Plan. All streets
abutting and witlùn the proposed Ventana subdivision are çlassified as local streets. Table
ill-3 in the Comprehensive Plan shows that local streets can be expected to handle up to
1,500 velùcles per day. Based on Institute of Transportation Engineer's Trip Generation, .
a street would have to seNe as the sole access of more than 150 single-family homes to
exceed 1,500 velùcles per day. Nothing in the Ventana subdivision proposal would result
in any local street canying more than 1,500 vehicles per day.
Subsection (a) states that subdivisions should be designed to connect with planned or
existing streets. It should also be noted that the existing cul-de-sac in Viewcliff is shown
on the face of the plat as temporary. It was intended, at the time of plat approval by King
County, that 25th Avenue SW be extended southward. Additionally, requiring 25th
Avenue SW be to the existing plat ofVtewcliffwould eliminate the non-confonnance of
the existing cul-de-sac in Vtewcliff.
Subsection (d) requires that the block fonned by Vtewcliff and Ventana streets combined
be no longer than 1,200 feet. To meet this requirement, S 304th Street could be extended
ITom 24th Avenue SW to 25th Avenue SW.
Land Use Goals and Policies of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan
Below are the Comprehensive Plan Goals and policies applicable to the petitioners' issues:
Land Use Goal 3:
Preserve and protect Federal Way single family neighborhoods.
LUP 14:
Maintain and protect the character of existing and future single family
neighborhoods through strict enforcement of the City's land use regulations.
This policy presumes that existing city codes provide standards that seNe to
maintain and protect single family neighborhoods. A substantial amount of text in
the Comprehensive Plan reflects principles of neo-traditional neighborhood Ki

plarming. This school ofthought suggests that providing a smaller grid of streets
disperses vehicular traffic more effectively, provides shorter walking distances
between origins and destinations that in turn reduces vehicular use, improves air
quality, improves safety, and encourages a feeling of community. Hence, the
,existing code's limits on the length of blocks and cul-de-sacs are intended to meet
the adopted goals and policies.
LUP 17:
Encourage the development of transportation routes and facilities to service
single family neighborhoods. Special attention should be given to pedestrian
circulation.
This policy reinforces the concept of providing multiple paths between destinations
to reduce the negative impacts of auto use and improve pedestrian circulation.
LUP 25:
Encourage the establishment of street patterns and amenities that encourage
walking, bicycling, and transit use.
,
This policy is also consistent with neo-traditional neighborhood planning and
supports multiple paths between destinations.
TranSJ'ortation Goals and Policies of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan
The Transportation chapter of the Comprehensive Plan establishes the ftamework for providing a
transportation system (facilities and services) and focuses on actions needed to create and manage
the transportation inftastructure and services.
Transportation Goal 1:
Maintain mobility for residents and business through a balanced
integrated system of street alternatives that:
Reduce auto dependency, especially single occupant vehicle use
Support the land use vision and plan
Protect and enhance the environment and quality of life
b.
c.
d
This goal is consistent with the principles of neo-traditional neighborhood planning.
TP5: Protect neighborhoods from traffic impacts.
This policy is intended to encourage development that channels large volumes of traffic
away ftom existing development while still providing connectivity between
neighborhoods. The Ventana subdivision's street network would not add significant
volumes of traffic to streets within Viewcliff. The connection to the proposed Ventana
subdivision would provide an alternative vehicle and pedestrain route for the residents of
Viewcliff.
Transportation Goal 2:
Provide a safe efficient and economic stree't system with sufficient
capacity to move people, goods, and services at an appropriate

level of service. The City shall develop and adopt policies for the
construction,- reconstruction, maintenance, and preservation of
new and existing facilities, such as gravel and substandard streets.
TP20: Take açlvantage of opportunities to open new road connections to create route
alternatives, especially in areas with few access choices.
Viewcliffhas one source of access. at S 304th Street. By connecting Viewcliffthrough
Ventana to the plat of Lakota ffigblands, Viewcliffwill obtain an alternative route.
TP21: Enhance traffic circulation and access with closer spacing of through streets as follows:
a. Arterial streets at least every 1,200 feet in single family zones and every 600 feet
in non-single-family zones.
Collector streets every 600 feet in single-family zones and every 600 feet in non-
single-family zones.
b.
"'-
If this policy had been carried out before and during the platting of ViewcIüI:' collector
streets would be located at SW 300th Street, SW 302nd Street, and SW 304th Street, as
well as 24th Avenue SWand 26th Avenue SW. However, the nearest collector to
Viewcliffis 21st Avenue SW. The plat of View cliff Phase 2 has addressed neighborhood
connectivity by providing a stub street (a temporary cul-de-sac) at 25th Avenue SW.
Connecting the plats of View cliff and Ventana would help meet the policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
TG4: Enhance community livability and transportation by providing a connected system of
bike and peckstrian ways that is also integrated into a coordinated regional network
TP52: Work to extend the existing system of sidewalks bikeways, and equestrian ways in the City
to provick safe access to public transit, neighborhood and business centers, parks,
schools, public facilities, and other recreational attractions.
Connecting ViewcIiff and Ventana subdivisions will provide alternative routes for vehicles
and pedestrians, thus improving circulation within the vicinity of both subdivisions.
Summary
The proposed street layout of the Ventana subdivision is consistent with existing codes and
Comprehensive Plan goals and policies.

SUBJ:
CPTED for Ventana
I have looked over the proposed plat ofVentana and have conducted a Crime Analysis-report
trom our Records files. During the calendar year of 1997 in reporting district 018, which is
bounded by Puget Sound on the north, 21st Ave SW on the east , SW Dash Point on the south
" and an area parallel to 28th Ave. SW on the west, there were sixty-three reports filed.
I have listed the calls and percentage of each for the given area:
Assault Domestic Violence 9%
Burglary 15%
Misc. Non Criminal 32%
Drugs 1%
Fraud 1%
Prop. Damage Accident 9%
Recovered Veh. 1 %
Theft's 19%
Threatening 1 %
Warrants 5%
In regards to a CPTED impact at this time trom the proposed Ventana plat, Ido not believe that
this will have a directed bearing on our agency in the beginning. The traffic concerns have been
addressed and the area is single family housing. The impact would be gradual over a period of
time of construction of homes and being occupied.
When construction does begin I would suggest that CPTED be taken into account and the use of
strategic placement of street lighting and signs.

SUBJECT:
Plat of Ventana
During the preapplication meeting for the Ventana Subdivision, Public Works staff called out
pedestrian connection connecting 26th A venue SW to proposed 25th A venue SW. The connection
was intended to provide pedestrian linkage between the proposed subdivisions and the
neighborhood to the west. Right of way improvements along 26th Avenue SW frontage were
waived with the installation of the pedestrian connection.
Based on further review of the existing conditions at the site and in the vicinity, the pedestrian
connection from 26th A venue SW to 25th A venue SW may be eliminated for the following
reasons:
1.
Unusual topographic or physical conditions preclude the connection of the improvements
as required. Specifically, slopes excess of 40 percent in the area proposed for the
pedestrian connection would create pedestrian corridors with grades which exceed those
established for accessibility.
2.
The pedestrian connection would provide access to a low density residential area that is
unlikely to redevelop with any substantial increase in pedestrian trips.
These two factors combined suggest they such a connection would have infrequent use. If 26th
A venue SW is ever improved north of the existing paved roadway, pedestrian access between
25th Avenue SW and 26th A venue SW can be established northward of the proposed
subdivision, where grades are less steep.

Re: Preliminary Plat of Ventana
Please enter these comments into the official record of the Hearing Examiner for the
February 2nd, 1999 hearing regarding the preliminary plat of Ventana. I own a house near
the comer of 24th Ave. SW and S. 304th S1. and have lived in the neighborhood for all of
my 34 years.
I oppose connecting the Ventana subdivision to 25th Ave. SW. I believe this action is
unnecessary and will degrade the quality of life in our neighborhood by creating higher
traffic volumes on poorly designed streets where traffic speed is already a neighborhood
concern.
The City Traffic Engineer provides several reasons why the streets should be connected
at 25th Ave. SW, including a smaller grid,of streets that would encourage pedestrian and
bicycle use, encourage a feeling of community, enhance traffic circulation and increase
route alternatives to View Cliff.
These are laudable goals but unfortunately the proposed connection would not benefit our
neighborhood. View Cliff residents have long been concerned about high-speed traffic on
their streets, primarily 24th Ave. SW. This concern is evidenced by a 1996 petition
submitted to the City Traffic Engineer in which more than 90 percent of the residents of
24thAve. SW requested speed bumps on 24th Ave. SW because of a chronic problem with
speeding traffic. The City Traffic Engineer has never responded to that petition.
I have witnessed one accident due to high speed in front of my house in the past year. My
neighbors on the comer of 24th Ave. SW and S. 304th S1. have witnessed several more in
that same time frame. Accidents aside, I have seen far too many people speed up and
down the street in front of my house. Many of these people are not neighborhood
residents.
High speeds are encouraged by the substandard street design of 24th Ave. SW and 25th
Ave. SW, roads that were built in the 1960s. The streets are wide with no centerline, no
sidewalks, gentle curves, and generally feature long stopping sight distances. Drivers tend
to travel faster on roads that are wide, curve gently, and allow the driver to see a longer
distance ahead. 1
Moreover, this type of road design creates a psychological environment that encourages
speed.

"A wide pavement exerts a strong influence over a motorist. First, it puts
someone in a car or truck at a greater distance from objects on either side.
Looking at objects that are farther away creates the feeling that a vehicle is
moving more slowly and prompts a motorist to compensate by speeding
up. Second, by making the motorist survey a broad field in front of his
vehicle, a wide pavement provides an assurance that he is in command of
that field, which in turn induces him to increase his speed. II 2
Even drivers who practice safe driving are tempted to speed on streets such as this
because the street design encourages it. I witness this on a daily basis as drivers passing
my house at the south end of 24th Ave. SW, through a stretch of the street with a long
sight distance, invariably surpass the speed limit as they travel by my house.
Adding the connection at 25th Ave. SW will allow more drivers entry into View Cliff,
adding traffic volume. Many of those entering through 25th Ave. SW will be channeled
out through 24th Ave. SW, past my house, almost certainly exacerbating the s~eeding
problem there. Connecting 25th Ave. SW to the Ventana Plat will lengthen 25 Ave. SW,
thereby encouraging greater speed through this area and creating a speeding problem that
doesn't currently exist.
In addition, the cul-de-sac at the end of 25th Ave. SW features a neighborhood basketball
hoop that has been there since the early 1970s. I personally played hundreds of pick-up
games there myself. This hoop was built by neighbors and is maintained by current
residents. It provides recreational opportunities for children within the neighborhood.
Without it, many would have to travel down to Adelaide Elementary School for a public
accessible basketball hoop. This hoop would be eliminated by the street connection,
thereby ending nearly three decades of neighborhood recreation.
The connection will burden poorly designed streets with additional car traffic,
exacerbating speeding problems and threatening neighborhood safety. The longer street
will also create a speeding problem on 25th Ave. SW. Destruction of the basketball court
will remove a long-lived neighborhood recreational amenity.
Therefore, the connection will result in a degradation of the neighborhood's current
quality of life, contrary to city Land Use Goal 3 ("Preserve and protect Federal Way
single family neighborhoods. ") and Land Use Policy 14 ("Maintain and protect the
character of existing and future single family neighborhoods through strict enforcement
of the City's land use regulations ") and Transportation Policy 5 ("Protect neighborhoods
from traffic impacts. ")
The City Traffic Engineer argues that the connection at 25th Ave. SW will encourage
alternatives to automobile traffic. This is doubtful. liThe most important factor for
pedestrians on the street is the speed of vehicles. High-speed traffic is intimidating for
pedestrians because it increases road noise and shortens reaction times for drivers.
Drivers are less likely to yield for pedestrians and, when collisions occur, serious
pedestrian injuries are more likely to result. 113
The prime detriment to pedestrian and bicycle movement in View Cliff is the unsafe
conditions fostered by the design of View Cliffs streets not the lack of a connection
between View Cliff and Lakota Highlands.
When I bicycle with my children or take my family on a walk, I am very concerned about
traffic speed and the lack of sidewalks. Many of the parents of young children in the
2 Conservation Law Foundation, Take Back Your Streets: How to Protect Communities from Asphalt and
Traffic, May 1995.

neighborhood that I have spoken to, feel the same way. Because the connection of the
View Cliff to Ventana at 25th Ave. SW will likely increase traffic and speeds on
substandard streets, exacerbating unsafe conditions, the connection will likely create a
further impediment to pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
In addition, while the connection would provide an additional automobile alternative, it
would not, in fact, provide an alternative pedestrianlbicycle rout. Ventana's proposed
street system corresponds roughly to a footpath/bikepath that currently connects foot and
bike traffic to Lakota Highlands. As a child, I helped build that path and I know from
firsthand experience that this path serves the neighborhood's bicycle and pedestrian
needs.
Ventana can be developed while maintaining a pedestrian-bike connection into the new
development, where pedestrians and bicyclists would fmd modem, pedestrian- and
bicycle-friendly roads. However, that connection does not as a matter of course have to
be an automobile connection as well.
Further, the city's Natural Environment policy 2 from the comprehensive plan aims to
"preserve and restore ecological functions and enhance natural beauty by encouraging
community development patterns and site planning that maintains and com~lements
natural land fonus. Channeling additional traffic through View Cliff via 25 Ave. SW
will create new hazards for resident wildlife of Poverty Bay Park, an undeveloped city
park west of 25th Ave. SW.
This park is home to a rich variety of wildlife, including but not limited to bald eagles,
northern goshawk, deer, raccoon, skunks, and porcupines. Foxes and coyotes are also
likely residents of this park, though adequate surveys haven't been conducted to identify
all the park's wildlife. Traffic is one of the major threats to wildlife, especially large,
wide-ranging mammals like deer, which have been observed by residents on 24th Ave.
SW. By increasing traffic on 25th Ave. SW along the park's eastern boundary, the city
will be encouraging development patterns that conflict with the park's ecological
functions.
While increasing connections between developments and providing shorter street grids
may in general be a good thing for neighborhoods it cannot be a one size fits all
prescription. In the final analysis, it must make sense for the specific neighborhood
within which it is proposed. This is not the case in View Cliff, where connectivity would
spill more traffic on streets that do not meet city road design standards.
The Ventana connection at 25th Ave. SW threatens the quality of life of the View Cliff
neighborhood without providing sufficient counterbalancing benefits. It will increase
threats to public safety through increasing traffic and speeds along substandard streets,
eliminate recreational facilities, and discourage foot and bicycle traffic. In addition, it
will pose additional threats to resident wildlife of the Poverty Bay Park.
For these reasons, this portion of the Ventana Preliminary Plat should be denied.
Thank you for your attention to my concerns.
Sincerely,
[j;. c. tJ

Subject:
Proposed Plat of "Ventana"
The Applicant's Proposed Revisions to Certain of the City Staff-Recommended
Conditions of Approval
I represent Wellington-Monis Corporation ("WMC"), the developer-applicant of the above-
referenced proposed plat. WMC hereby requests that the following revisions be made to certain of
the City Staff-recommended Conditions of preliminary plat approval (with the changes illustrated by
red-lining and strike-out) with the reason(s) for each change noted as follows:
Condition 1
Because the plat proposed to redirect surface water runoff from the northeast basin
into the western basin (the net result of which is an increase in the real-size of the
plat's westernmost drainage basin, as 1 equil ed by tIle Public 'vV 01 ks Dil eGtOl), and
prior to constructing the plat improvements, the conveyance system downstream of
this basin shall be analyzed in sufficient detail to insure that the increased volume of
water discharged from this basin can be accommodated. A level three downstream
analysis shall be perfonned trom the plat to Puget Sound for engineering plan review.
Additional hydrologidhydraulic analysis shall be required if the level three analysis is
not sufficient to determine all drainage problems.
The downstream capacity of the new drainage conveYélllce t<.)r the Southwest basin
between the project site and Pugct Sound has to be adequHLe The capacity ol'this
conveyance nc(:."(ls to he fì.Jlly analy/.cd using the design standard outlined in the King
County Surface Water Design Manual. The analysis will be reviewed in the
engineering review process. Any deficiency or the conveyance has to be addressed
before engineering approval ofthe project Depending upon the result of the analysis
and the historical observation record, the mitigation Cm)!.t may involve substantial
improvcmcnt of the conveyance system downstream. Th~ bonds and liability
rcquircmcnt, including drainagc nH.:ilitic:; restoration and site stabilil'.atiol1 bond and

(
c
the maintenance defect bond, shall be applied to all downstream improvements
constructed by the developer.Tlle ð. l llicc¡ t ~hnlt'-be-reqttired h, c"h~tnlctcttt
in1pro~ement5 neCeS5ðl) to mitigate all identified conveyance problems, whethel
existing 01 lestdtihg fiol11 the plat's de'Velopl11elit, as identified during eligineelihg plan
review, as requited by the Public Wolks Dilcctol. I:ngiheelihg apploval shall hot be
gl anted if it is detellllined that ploposed mitigation is not adequate to addl ess the
impacts of the project.
Reason for Change(s):
The word "real" has been stricken trom the first paragraph because it adds nothing to the
meaning wlúle the phrase "as required by the Public Works Director" has been stricken because the
Public Works Director did not require the drainage basin modification but, rather, approved a
variance request for the modification.
The applicant proposes substituting Condition 3 of the approved variance (see the October
1, 1998 letter trom the Public Works Director, a copy of which is included as Exhibit K to the Staff
Report) for this condition's second paragraph. The applicant contends that the variance condition's
language more equitably addresses the subject of potential downstream improvements and that the
original second paragraph set forth in the Ventana preliminary plat Staff Report is too rigid in relation
to its requirement that "[t]he applicant shall be required to construct all improvements necessary to
mitigate all identified conveyance problems, whether existing or resulting trom the plat's development
. . . ." Depending upon the nature and circumstances of existing downstream conveyance problems,
the City or other property owners or developers may fairly have some responsibility for sharing in the
expense of remedying such problems.
Condition 4
The final plat drawing shall establish the open space in an open space tract to be
owned in common and maintained by property owners of the proposed subdivisiol)
(or owned by an incorporated homeowners' association and maintained by the
association), and prohibiting removal or disturbance ofïandscaping within the Iracl.
except as necessary for maintenance or replacement of existing plantings and as
approved by the city. Additional vegetation may be located in open space(s) and
Native Growth Protection Easement (NGPE) tracts to meet the MDNS conditions as
approved by the city.
Reason for Change(s):
The applicant wishes to have the option of setting up a homeowners' association for the
Ventana subdivision and having it own and maintain the open space tract.
Condition 6
The rockery propos~d alóng "the site's east boundary shall be of a tiered design

into the hearing record as Exhibit '1'. Rrtaining-wall~mckery-d~-\'1ï~haH-be

design thchles tll1ough such Illeðl.S as telracihg, olicntation, üatwal hlatolial sekction,
use of vegetation, and textural tleatll1eht.
Reason for Change(s):
The original condition seems too vague. To address the underlying concern, the applicant has
had the geotechnical engineering firm Terra Associates prepare the attached "Tiered Rockery
Section" design detail sheet to set forth a specific design solution that is acceptable to the applicant.
Condition 7
The applicant must develop written procedures to inform personnel working on the
site tJJnq'~be on the édeI1~'lhe possibility that (~J:::arch_(l~?logical remains could be
exposed during construction;-that and (b) -evidence of $.qÞÕthe remains can include
concentrations of organic material, shell, fire modified rock, burned or oxidized
sediments, bone or lithic, and t7J:jthat should remains be exposed, personnel must
follow specific procedures to notify the Washington State Department of Archaeology
and Historic Preservation, the City of Federal Way, and archaeologist. The written
procedures shall be reviewed and approved by the city prior to beginning
construction.
Reason for Change(s):
Clarification.
Condition 8
:!?'_'p'~()..\'_i~(:él safe route of travel for school children, the applicant shall install aþ
1p.lmUfpi.y~g pedestrian palhwaycoll idol from the subject site, west along the
southern side of SW 304th Street to Adelaide Elementary School, subject to review

wide, bur may be narrowed down to a 5-fbot width in places as ncce~sary to avoid

Some or all of these requests may be further addressed during the preliminary plat hearing tóday.

Petition to the City of Federal Way City
Council:
We the following, all residents of VIEWCLIFF subdivision,
bordering on the north of the proposed VENTANA subdivision,
hereby petition and request that 25th. Ave SW, currently
ending in a cul-de-sac in VIEWCLIFF, not be connected into
the proposed VENTANA subdivision. 25th Ave SW should be
allowed to remain as it is, a 'dead end' in the VIEWCLIFF
subdivision.
VIEWCLIFF has been in existence since 1960. Access has
always been from SW 304th street ONLY, and has never been a
problem.
crime in VIEWCLIFF has increased in the past few years with
breaking into cars, theft of electronic equipment, threatened
assault to a homeowner, theft of a mans business tools, to
name a few instances. Traffic is currently a concern with
several young people driving at excessive rates of speed
through the neighborhood which is a concern to all,
especially families with small children. Opening up 25th.
Avenue SW will only increase traffic though VIEWCLIFF.
Opening up 25th Ave SW will generate more traffic, not so
much from the residents of VENTANA, as using 25th through
VIEWCLIFF would be out of their way for access to their
homes, but from casual traff ic that has no need to be in
VIEWCLIFF. Additional traffic into our neighborhood will
disturb the quality of life we now enjoy and will expose us
to more potential criminals, speeding and safety threats to
all, especially children. Crime has already become a problem
as stated above and documented in Federal Way Police records.
Access for emergency vehicles is not a concern. VIEWCLIFF
has existed with one entrance-exit for approximately 38 years
with no access problem. We have no concern for having SW
304th the only access to our neighborhood.

To The Attention of:
Deb Barker, Associate Planner of Federal Way, and
stephen Causseau, Hearing Examiner of "Ventana Subdivision.
I make the appeal for our two-block neighborhood on 25th Avenue, S.W.,
that it remain a dead-end street, rather than 25th Avenue, S.W. be extended
into the "Ventana Subdivision Development"" for the following reasons:
Disruption of Neighborhood Character:
1. Living here since 1974, the neighborhood has known each and all
their neighbors, and were aware of the comings and goings in our
neighborhood. I made it a point to keep an eye out for the grade-
school children's safety coming home from school.
2. The end of the road, closest to the development site has been a
playground area for our tots to teens. This recreational area
will be lost if we are connected to the Subdivision.
S.'tJ.
3. with the present thinking and planning of 24th Avenues, and 25th
Avenue, S.W., the picture becomes an ideal setting for a speed
runway for cars, motorcycles and motor bikes. There will be many
late-night and early-moring disturbances made by those who will
take advantage of a speed-way like this.
4. Because this wooded area is a form of water shed and holding of
soil/ground, with the trees and their root system, how will the
underground seepage and run-off of water affect those of us living
around and below the Subdivision, when the trees and their root
systems have been removed? When living in Kelso. Washington, years
back, ~e experienced flooding in our basement and settling of the
house,- foundation each Spring from the underground water flow and
seepage.
5. Sincerely, I believe the future residents of the homes abutting
25th Avenue. S.W., will appr~€~ate knowing they are living at the
end of the road, as we do.for sãfety it provides for all concerned.

Preliminary Plat of Ventana
Dear Mr. Causseaux:
The proposed Ventana subdivision borders the View Cliff
subdivision on our south border. Part of the Ventana
proposal includes connecting 25Th Ave S. W. from Ventana into
View Cliff.
Of the fifty property owners in view Cliff, only one
desires this connection to occur. Our petition, reflecting
97% of the View Cliff residents opposed to connecting 25Th.
Ave. S. W. from Ventana to View Cliff, was presented to the
Federal Way city council in March of 1998.
View Cliff representatives have met with Mr. Cary Roe,
Public Works Director, Ms Deb Barker, Assistant Planner, Mr.
Rick Perez, Traffic Engineer, as well as Mr. Gregory Moore,
Director of Community Development Services in follow-up
meetings subsequent to our presentation to the City Council
to appeal that 25Th. Ave. S.W. not be connected into view
Cliff.
While the survey of October 19,1964 notes the 25Th Ave.
S. W. cul-de-sac in view Cliff a "Temporary turn-a-round to
become void on extension of 25Th. Ave. S. W. ", this was a
county stipulation. As we are now a city we ask this
notation be removed by the City of Federal Way & that the
25Th. Ave. S.W. cul-de-sac in View Cliff remain as it is &
has been for approximately 35 years.
We additionally ask that S. W. 304Th Street never be
extended from 24Th Avenue S.W. to 25Th Ave. S.W. on the
Viewcliff-Ventana border & wording to that effect be placed
in the City's records.

DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE
(MDNS)
Ventana preliminary Plat
Federal Way File No: SEP97-0036, Related File No: SUB97-0003
Dear Mr. Moore:
The homeowners of ViéwCliff do hereby appeal paragraph 5 of
the city of Federal Way's MONS, dated October 16, 1998.
Our specific objection is to what the MONS refers to in
paragraph 5 as "roadway improvements for 25th Avenue SW." We
do not consider connecting 25th Avenue SW from Ventana to
View Cliff to be an improvement or desirable and appeal this
decision in the strongest manner. '
Connectivity of neighborhoods was not the reason the majority
of owners in ViewCliff had as a priority when we purchased
our property & many of the owners have been here since the
early 1960's. conversely, security, privacy, quiet, a safe
neighborhood for children & limited access were some of our
reasons for establishing homes in viewcliff. Connecting
25th Avenue SW from Ventana to Viewcliff will destroy the
very atmosphere we came here to enjoy.
wi thin the past month a Meth house was discovered eight
blocks directly south of viewcliff. We have no desire for
additional connectivity and strongly oppose it. Connectivity
will reduce our neighborhoods liviability & we do not desire
more circulation of traffic in our small neighborhood.
As you know, we filed a petition with the Federal Way city
Council on March 03, 1998 and made an oral appeal at that
meeting. We have met with Ms. Deb Barker, Assistant Planner,
Mr. Rick Perez, Traffic Engineer, Mr. Cary Roe, Public Works
Director in several meetings at City Hall with our protests
& appeal. Our objection to the connection of 25th Avenue SW
is strong and ongoing.
EX HI BIT -_1-~t\:-f.~
(
:,,~'T~\
',;"'. .,
(,
( 2 )
We ask for relief of imposition of the Federal Way city Code,
section 20.151, Subdivision design. Specifically, we ask
that the existing 25th Avenue SW cul-de-sac in ViewCliff be
made permanent. We additionally ask that S\-'l 304th street
never be extended from 24th Avenue SW to 25th Avenue SW on
the ViewCliff-Ventana border & wording to that effect be
placed in the city's records.
Mr. Rick Perez, Traffic Engineer mentions extending SW 304th
street is a possibility in his review of our petition sent to
Ms. Deb Barker on March 09, 1998. He lists this on page two
of his review under section 20-151, Subdivision design,
paragraph (f).
§)
Mr. Perez closes his review of our petition with this
summary: "The proposed street layout of the Ventana
subdivision is consistent with existing codes and
comprehensive Plan goals and policies."
As stated 97% of the residents of ViewCliff do not want this
connecti vi ty into véntana on 25th Avenue SW & we ask for
relief of the existing codes, comprehensive Plan goals and
policies which were written after Federal Way became a c~ty.
When ci tyhood was being pushed we were told if we became a
City we would have more input into how our lives and property
would be governed. We now have cityhood and we ask the City
council to make good on that promise to respect our wishes
and we ask for relief on the 25th Avenue Connection with the
Ventana subdivision, as well as never extending 304th SW from
24th Avenue SW to 25th Avenue SW between ViewCliff and
Ventana.
Respectfully,
Dale Kure

VENTANA SUBDIVISION/REVISED LAND USE APPLICATION
8
Dear Mr. Moore:
In comparing the Preliminary Plat of Ventana dated
September 1997 to the Plat attached to the revised Land Use
Application of April.1998, the following was noted:
On the April 1998 plat 25Th Avenue SW in Ventana is
shown, connecting into 25Th Avenue SW in the existing View
Cliff development. The September 1997 plat was drawn with
25Th Avenue SW ending in Ventana and not connecting into view
Cliff.
As you know, on March 3, 1998 the View Cliff resIdents
presented to the Federal Way City a petition signed by 97.67%
of the View Cliff residents requesting 25Th Avenue SW not be
connected into View Cliff. We are still firm in that desire.
view Cliff has been in existence since 1960. Access has
always been from SW 304Th Street ONLY and has never been a
problem. Access for emergency vehicles to View Cliff is not
a concern. There has been no access problem with only one
entrance for approximately 38 years and we have no concern
with it remaining so.
Being a city was proposed to the voters as giving us
more control over our lives. I ask you to please do not
connect 25Th Avenue SW from Ventana into View Cliff. This
would be an excellent time to demonstrate to the citizens we
DO have some control over our lives and property.
Sincerely,
Robert F. Jones

families near the Cul-De-Sac on 25th Avenue S.W., over 30 years ago.
One of the factors in selecting this location was the added privacy
of the View Cliff development. Along with our neighbors, we are
concerned about the opening up of 25th Avenue S.W. into the Ventana
development. The gain of additional access to and from our home is
not preferable to our loss of priv~cy. :
In aqd~tion, we are very concerned about loss of some safety and
security by any added access to the neighborhood. This is a major
concern to us because of a recent experience.
We are the parents of the Des Moines police sargent and family
residing in Federal Way whose höme was invaded, family thr~atened
at gun point and'robbed by juveniles in February. We have first
..hand experience of the trama and anxiety suffered by a family under
those circumstances.
Until our society, law enforcement and judiciary do a better job of
protection, especially in our homes, we believe .that the opening up
of access to our street would significantly reduce the safety and
security to ourselves and neighbors.
We respectfully request you reconsider and cancel the plan to open
up 25th Avenue S.W. Cul-De-Sac into the Vent ana development for the
reasons stated above.
Sincerely,
æ,w~

AS PROPERTY OWNERS AND VOTERS OF FEDERAL WAY WE WISH TO
EXPRESS OUR DEEP CONCERNS ABOUT THE PROPOSED EXTENTION OF
25TH SW FROM THE VENT ANA DEVELOPMENT INTO VIEW CLIFF THERE
BY DOING AWAY WITH CUL-DE-SAC. WE ARE AGAINST THIS AS THIS
WILL OPEN OUR AREA TO HEA VY TRAFFIC WHICH WE HA VE BEEN PRO-
TECTED AGAINST UP TO TillS TIME.
WE BUILTIN THIS AREA IN 1973 BECAUSE OF THE QUIET SITTING AND
BOTH ROADWAYS ENDED WITH CUL-DE-SAC'S. TillS PEACE AND QUIET
WilL BE DESTORYED BY OPENING THIS AREA UP TO TRAFFIC FLOW
WHICH IS NOT NECESSARY. YOU DO NOT GAIN ANYTIDNG BY DOING
THIS DESTRUCTION OF THE CUL-DE-SAC. YOU WILL DO AWAY WITH
SAFETY THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED FOR OUR CHILDREN THAT LIVE
IN THIS AREA BY INCREASE IN TRAFFIC. THIS AREA HAS BEEN POSTED
ON 304TH AS "NO OUTLET" AND THIS HAS PREVENTED UNWANTED
VEHICLES CRUISING OUR AREA.
WHEN FEDERAL WAY WAS PUSIDNG TO BECOME A "CITY" IT WAS PUSHED
"VOTE TO BECOME A CITY AND BE ABLE TO HAVE A "VOICE" IN THE
PLANNING OF THE "NEW CITY". OUR EXPERIENCE SO FAR IN DEALING
WITH "CITY HALL" HAS BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTING. YOU CARE LESS
ABOUT THE VOTERS AND T AXP AYERS OF FEDERAL WAY AS TO THEIR
FEELINGS AND SAFETY OR THEIR RlGHTS TO PEACE AND QUIET.
WE UNDERSTAND THA:r 98% OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE SIGNED
THE PETITION AGAINST TillS MOVEMENT AND SO FAR THE CITY HAS
INDICATED THAT THEY DON"T CARE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO WHAT
EVER YOU WANT. VOTERS DO GET THEIR REVENGE AT THE POLLS.
THANK YOU

Dear Mr. Moore
My purpose in writing to you is to object, in the strongest possible terms, to
connection of the Viewcliff neighborhood to the new Ventana development
through 25th AVE SW.
I can find no advantage in extending a dead-end street two blocks to another
dead-end. A modification which is opposed by 97% of neighborhood residence.
It seems that this plan to destroy the Viewcliff neighborhood, as we know it, is
being pursued to satisfy a "post city-hood" regulation which was written without
regard for the uniquely individual character of neighborhoods like Viewcliff.
Rather than retaining this character, this regulation destroys neighborhoods and
promotes the urban sprawl we all want to avoid. Is the mindless destruction of
neighborhoods like Viewcliff really what being a city is all about? I think not!
May I suggest an alternate course? Make the existing cul-de-sac at the end of
25th AVE SW a permanent feature of the Viewcliff neighborhood. In addition,
wording should be added to city records such that SW 304th will never be
extended from 24th AVE SW to 25th AVE SW on the Viewcliff-Ventana border.
These changes will promote security, safety, privacy, and help to limit the
continuous circulation of traffic. In short, these changes will help retain the

livability of the Viewcliff neighborhood. In my humble opinion, that is what being
a city is all about.

Subject: Ventana Development Elimination of the 25th Ave
S.W. cul-de-sac in ViewCliff
Dear Mr. Moore:
We understand that the City of Federal Way is not going to honor
the requests of the ViewCliff residents to maintain the 25th Ave
S.W. cul-de-sac. We have previously expressed our concerns in
the enclosed letter. We have some first hand personal security
concerns because of our son's family recent home invasion here.
in Federal Way.
8'
We are very disappointed that our city management is not listen-
ing to specific neighborhood requests. We have not been shown
why it is necessary for big brother to impose on our neighborhood
and change which has been working well for over 30 years. This
is another example why citizens can be disenchanted with govern-
ment bureaucracy ignoring their requests. .
Respectfully,
~~
