Woodspring Suites Tukwila <br />Response to Review Comments <br />CPH No. 0128 -15 -002 <br />December 23, 2015 <br />Page 3 of 14 <br />3. Show tree protection measures on the site plan for any off-site significant trees in close proximity <br />to the construction area (Ref. TMC I 8.44.080(B)(I 0) for tree protection requirements). <br />Response: The enclosed landscape plans show "tree protection fencing" along the site boundary <br />adjacent to offsite significant trees. A note has also been added to the Site Plan (sheets P6.00 and <br />P6.0) to specify that continuous silt fence and tree protection measures shall be installed at the <br />property boundary and site perimeter. The specific details of the tree protection measures are <br />proposed to be provided with final TESC plans that will be reviewed and approved by the City as part <br />of the construction permit. <br />4. Revise landscape sheet L2 to state that a Certified Pesticide Applicator must be used for the <br />knotweed/blackberry control when applying chemicals. Demonstrate compliance with the use of <br />pesticides by addressing items 1-5 of TMC 18.44.080(D)(3)(0). <br />Response: Notes have been revised to specify manual controls of invasive vegetation for one year <br />initially and if that fails, to apply separately for a permit to spray knotweed. <br />5. Biologist/ecologist must be on site during planting to ensure that species placement is appropriate <br />in the mitigation area. Add a note to the plan sheets to indicate this. <br />Response: Note added to sheet LS-04, General Landscape Notes #IS. <br />6. Please provide more detail regarding irrigation methods and how the area will be accessed if <br />irrigated by truck. An irrigation plan must be provided prior to building permit approval. <br />Response: See sheets LS-06, LS-07 and LS-08 for full irrigation plans, details and notes. <br />7. Please add an additional native perennial grass to native and herb seed mixture and indicate <br />how the seed will be applied. <br />Response: Per phone discussion with Jaimie Reavis, no seed mixtures will be used and instead, the <br />Shoreline buffer will be planted with trees and shrubs. <br />8. Include planting details for all proposed landscaping, including mitigation area. <br />Response: See Sheet LS-05 for Planting Details. <br />9. Consider alternative deciduous trees in the shoreline in addition to or instead of the proposed <br />alder trees. <br />Response: Alder has been removed from the planting schedule and replaced with Birch. See sheet LS- <br />03. <br />10. Address in response: Consider placement of willow stakes in the rock outf all. <br />Response: Willow stakes have been placed at the outfall. See sheet LS-03. <br />11. Address in response: will soil conditions drain fast enough for success of Manzanita? If not, please <br />consider a more appropriate species. <br />Response: Manzanita has been removed from the planting schedule and replaced with Oregon grape. <br />See sheet LS-03. <br />12. Indicate groundcover quantities on the plans. <br />Response: Groundcover quantities are indicated in the plant legend on sheet LS-03. <br />13. Labeling the spacing of all landscaped areas on planting plan is suggested for ease of <br />installation. <br />34 <br />
