RE: File No. 07- 103077- 00 -AD; TRAVIS REGULATED LAKE SHORELINE REHABILITATION
4222 SW 325`h Street, Federal Way
Dear Mr. Travis:
I am in receipt of your June 5, 2007, proposal to perform certain work along the edge of the Lake Lorene
shoreline adjacent to your residence at 4222 SW 325`h Street. Your request is conditionally approved as
noted below.
Your letter and sketch depict various actions proposed to mitigate minor shoreline erosion at the subject
property as described in your prior March 23, 2007, letter to the City. Your proposal includes the
following tasks:
• Install a coir log along the toe of the shoreline bank;
• Install coir fabric over the log and onto the bank;
• Plant Red Dogwood shrubs in a hedge pattern to provide deep rooting stability along the
lake edge;
• Grass seeding to provide soil stabilization.
Lake Lorene is a regulated lake under the Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Section 22 -1. Pursuant to
FWCC Section 22 -1335, rehabilitation of a regulated lake can be administratively approved by the
Director of Community Development subject to certain conditions.
Your correspondence demonstrates that there is some minor shoreline erosion that has occurred. The
rehabilitation plan you prepared was developed based on concepts from the Washington State Department
of Fish and Wildlife, and the plan implements the use of natural materials and vegetation. Implementation
of the plan will not adversely impact the regulated lake, and is intended to provide long term stabilization
of the site.
The tasks listed above are considered repair, remodeling, or maintenance and are therefore exempt from
environmental review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) pursuant to WAC 197 -11-
800(3).
Work proposed in your June 5, 2007, letter and plan is hereby conditionally approved as noted below:
1. A landscape inspection shall be scheduled once the landscaping is installed. Please
contact Jim Harris, Senior Planner, at 253- 835 -2649 or

Department of Community Development a brief annual monitoring report (prepared by
the homeowner) and site photos for two years following construction. The monitoring is
intended to document the results of the rehabilitation plan and implementation.
Please contact Jim Harris, Senior Planner, at 253- 835 -2649 or jim.harris @cityoffederalway.com if you
have any questions about this decision.

RE: Rehabilitation Project
Dear Sir,
RECEIVED
.JUN Q 5 2[)07

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY"
BUILDING DEPT, Monday, June 05, 2007
Pursuant to previous conversations, property inspection and confirmation with
Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife agent, Larry Fisher, I have, what I
believe is an acceptable plan to move forward with the rehabilitation project for my
shoreline.
Due to the fact that my lakefront shoreline falls within °`protected wetlands" definition by
Washington State, I must use natural materials in the process of this project. NW Linings
& GeoTextiles in Kent has product called "coif logs" and "coif fabric" which I intend to
utilize. The logs are twenty inches in diameter, twenty feet long, the fabric comes in four
foot wide rolls and is much like jute or burlap.
Please find included, my drawings (plans), roughly to scale of the affected shoreline area
and also a crosscut of how the coir log should look.
The concept is relatively simple:
Coir Log — The shoreline sod will be rolled back and the coir log staked in under
the toe of the shoreline. The image below illustrates just how the coir log is staked
to the lake bottom. In my attached drawing (plan), the dotted line image
represents the coir log as it is actually under the sod and under the water. The
cross cut better shows that concept.
Coir Fabric — The coir fabric will then be stretched from the coif log (water line)
and staked onto the crest of the bank (approximately three to four feet).
Red Dogwoods — To insure the soil is held in place, it was suggested by Larry
Fisher of Washington State DFW, to plant Red Dogwoods in hedge pattern along
