facilities are located east of the subject site, such as detached single family units, apartment <br />buildings and schools. The site sits within the block where two motels — the Great Bear and <br />the Moonrise are located. Both of those motels are fenced, boarded and vacant because of <br />federal charges of criminal activity. The future of those two buildings is not known at this <br />time. <br />C. Topography <br />The site is within the Gilliam Creek drainage basin. The corner of S. 144th Street and TIB is <br />the high side of the site at 302 foot elevation and then drops to 284 feet in elevation along <br />the east property line, which is an 18 foot difference. There is a sharp drop down to the <br />east from TIB. The soil is generally very poor and the water table high, thereby limiting <br />surface water absorption and the ability to do low impact development or underground <br />facilities. <br />D. Vegetation <br />The Arborist Report notes that there are several cedars that have been excessively pruned <br />and whose trunks are growing into a concrete bulkhead. They are also in the center of the <br />site and would not be feasible to save or work around. She also notes that the Coast <br />Redwood in the southwest corner is healthy and it is located in a required setback area along <br />the south property line. The arborist recommends retention of that one superior tree in the <br />southwest corner. <br />She summarized that this project is an excellent opportunity to replace declining trees with <br />vigorous appropriate species. <br />iiVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV Viii <br />/, / /D7%Daaaaii< <br />��1 <br />ttm p <br />111111 1111111111111111111111111111 <br />Ill <br />II f '1111111u <br />11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111.1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,V,V,V,V,o10 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 <br />viii <br />in OVV1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111VVOOVVVVVVVVOVVVI <br />Looking south along TIB at Coast Redwood <br />L13 -0044 — Tukwila Village Phase 2 Page 7 <br />11 <br />
