Vicinity /Site Information
Existing Development
The site is currently undeveloped. The property does lie within a Puget Sound Energy easement, but the
proposed development will have no impacts on the PSE ability to use their easement.
Surrounding Land Uses
Shoreline Permit Criteria
r1
The property is bordered to the north by a PSE substation, to the east by the Interurban Trail and the
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad line, to the south by commercial property, and to the west by West
Valley Highway. The Green River is not directly adjacent to the property, but lies on the western side of
West Valley Highway.
1. The use is in conformance with the regulations of the underlying district.
There is no particular use associated with the Shoreline Permit. The activities only include preparing
the site for future development. Any future uses must comply with the underlying regulations of the
district.
2. The use does not conflict with the goals and policies of the Shoreline Master Program or the
provisions of the Shoreline Act and shoreline regulations.
The project meets all the goal and policies of the shoreline master program. No work will be done
within the river environment of the Green River. Public access to the river will not be hindered from
the project. The public will continue to be able to access the river using the Interurban Trail. In
addition, water from this site will now be treated prior to entering the river. Trees will be added
which will enhance the visual appearance of the property.
z
3. No structures or accessory facilities shall be located over the river, unless such structure protects or
promotes the public interest.
The applicant is not proposing any structures or facilities over the river. The project itself will be
outside of the river environment of the Green River.
4. There shall be no disruption of existing trees or vegetation within the river environment, unless
necessary for public safety or flood control, or if allowed as part of an approved Shoreline Substantial
Development Permit.
No work will occur within the river environment.
5. No effluents shall be discharged into the Green River, which exceeds the water quality classification
as established by the State for the adjacent portion of the river.
The applicant is not proposing to discharge any materials into the Green River.
6. All State and Federal Water quality regulations shall be strictly complied with.
The applicant has submitted an erosion control plan for the grading activities that will occur during
this project.
7. Wildlife habitat in and along the river should be protected.
As previously noted, the West Valley Highway separates the property from having any direct
connection to the Green River. The property itself provides very little wildlife habitat as it is isolated
and surrounded by commercial land uses.
The trees that the applicant will install will provide some habitat for birds and small rodents.
8. All perimeters of landfills or other landforms susceptible to erosion shall be provided with vegetation.,
retaining walls or other satisfactory mechanisms for erosion prevention.
During construction BMPs will be in place to prevent any erosion.
All Necessary permits shall be obtained from Federal, State, County, or Municipal Agencies.
The applicant has submitted for approval from the City's Public Works Department for grading and
has applied for a SEPA Determination.
10. Dredging for the purposes other than for navigational improvements or flood control is prohibited.
No dredging is proposed for this project.
11. Mining is prohibited along the river shoreline.
No mining is proposed for this project
12. Solid waste disposal is prohibited along the shoreline.
As part of this project no solid waste will be disposed along the riverbank.
13. No property will be acquired for public use without dedication by or just compensation to the
property owner.
Not applicable
14. Land filling is prohibited within the river channel unless such landfill is determined by the Planning
Commission to protect or promote the public interest.
No land filling within the river channel is proposed.
15. Removal of any cottonwood tree within the river environment or the low impact environment, which
tree is 12 inches or greater in diameter as measured from 4.5 feet above grade, shall be subject to
obtaining a Tree Permit.
The applicant is not proposing to remove any trees, but will plant a total of 43 new trees.
Conclusion
The proposal meets all goals and policies of the City Shoreline Master Program. As the property does
not directly border the Green River there will likely be no impacts to the River as a result of the
project.
Recommendation
Approval with the following conditions:
1) The trees proposed to be planted in the approved landscaping plan shall be planted prior to any
final inspections from the City.

Puget Western Incorporated
Strander Car Center site is located at the northwest corner of West Valley
Highway and Strander Boulevard. The PSE South site is located to the east of
West Valley, south of Strander Boulevard south of the existing PSE substation
site.
Project Description:
Puget Western Incorporated, a subsidiary of Puget Sound Energy has filed a SEPA application
for grading on two pieces of property, located to the east of West Valley Highway. One of the
properties is directly north of Strander Boulevard (Strander Car Center) and the other is directly
south (PSE South Site).
Approximately 5,000 cubic yards of fill will be imported to the Strander Car Center site for sub -
grade construction fill. About 2,000 cubic yards of fill will be excavated on site and used as fill
on site. While not part of this proposal, the future plans for the Strander Car Center is to develop
the site into a car sales facility and use an existing building on site as the sales office.
Approximately 3,500 cubic yards of fill will be imported to the PSE South site to bring the site
level to West Valley Highway. According to the SEPA checklist, there are no plans for the PSE
south site. Yet, it is safe to say that bringing in fill and making the site even with West Valley
Highway will allow the site to be developed for commercial or office uses in the future.

Summary of Primary Impacts:
Land Altering /Grading/Preloads Permit Approvals City of Tukwila, Public Works
SMA Permit for the PSE South Site City of Tukwila, Community Development
Special Permission from the Director City of Tukwila, Public Works
The two sites are located within the Green River Valley. Like many river valleys, both of
the sites are mainly flat. The soils on site are mapped as Newberg silt loam. A
Geotechnical report was submitted to the City for both sites. The reports do not mention
any indications of unstable soils or slopes.
The Union Pacific Railroad runs along the Strander Car Center site. The railroad is
raised which creates a slope of 25 percent along the east property line of the Strander Car
Center site.
The steepest grade on the PSE south site is 50 percent. This is located along West Valley
Highway along the western edge of the property.
The project has submitted and has an approved grading permit from Public Works. A
Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan has been submitted for the project.
•Air
Some emissions from construction vehicles will occur during the construction period.
Suspended particles from dust emissions will occur during construction activities. There
will be no long -term impacts to air quality as a result of this project. The entrances to
both sites will be rocked and dirt- driving surfaces will be watered to reduce dust in the air
during construction.
Water
There are no surface waters on or adjacent to the two properties. The sites are located
outside of the 100 -year flood plain.
The PSE south site is within the 200 -feet of the Green River. The property does not
directly border the Green River. West Valley Highway lies between the PSE south site
and the Green River.

Staff Report
• Animals
The Geotechnical report done for the Strander Car Center site notes that moderate to
heavy groundwater seepage could be encountered in deep excavations extending to z
around eight or nine feet if the grading activities are done in the winter season (October
through May). ~ w
et
Stormwater on the Strander Car Center site will run to catch basins on the eastern o p
property line near Strander Boulevard. The PSE south site has an existing drainage ditch co °
along the western property line. W
There is an offsite wetland to the east of the subject property. This is a type I wetland, W o
which requires a 100 -foot buffer. The 100 -foot buffer area extends on the PSE south
LL
property.
• a
The applicant has requested to reduce the buffer by 50 percent. TMC 18.45 does allow Z
for a buffer to be reduced, but only with permission from the Community Development 1, O
Director and the submittal and approval of an enhancement plan for the buffer. w
The applicant has submitted an enhancement plan which the City must approve prior to D-
uly grading activities occurring on the property. o E-
w
u'
z
Vegetation on both the sites includes blackberry tickets, shrubs, and grass. A review of
City aerial photos, from 1999, shows a large canopy of trees on the PSE south site. A o
subsequent review of the site during this project showed that all the trees have been z
removed. Approximately, 43 tree stumps of various tree species were located on the
property. The applicant has submitted a landscaping plan for the PSE south site. Most of
this landscaping will be located along West Valley Highway.
The habitat quality of this area is currently quite poor. Some birds were observed on the
sites during a walk through. The adjacent properties are mostly developed, thus this site
is not part of any habitat corridors.
Both of the sites are near the Green River. The Green River does have Chinook salmon,
Coho salmon, and Cuthroat trout. These fish species have federal protection through the
Endangered Species Act.
It is very unlikely that this project will have any impact on the habitat area around the
Green River. In addition, there are no opportunities for habitat restoration or
enhancement. As noted, the PSE south site does not border the Green River, it is

Housing
No housing is proposed nor will any residential structures be removed.
Aesthetics
The project will involve the clearing and leveling of two properties. As noted, this
proposal is limited to grading activities, no specific development plans are proposed at
this time. The grading includes the clearing of all vegetation on the properties. The PSE
south site will be required, under the City's shoreline regulations to re- vegetate the
property. The applicant has submitted a landscaping plan that will be approved as part of
the required Shoreline Permit. The landscaping plan includes the planting of Big Leaf
Maple, Douglas Fir, and Western Red Cedar. These trees will be planted along the
western property line near West Valley Highway. They will aid in offsetting any
negative visual impacts from the project along West Valley Highway.

The Strander Car Center site is located in Tukwila, Washington, near the northwest corner of the intersection of West
Valley Highway and Strander Boulevard. The site is within a Puget Sound Energy easement tract and adjacent to a
Union Pacific Railroad tract. The applicant, Puget Western, Inc., is an affiliate of Puget Sound Energy, therefore the
proposed use of the easement area for the parking lot does not violate any rights associated with the easement. The
Strander Car Center site is located within the northwest quarter of Section 25, Township 23, Range 4 East,
Willamette Meridian. The PSE South Site is located along West Valley, south of Strander Boulevard and the
existing PSE substation site.

B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. EARTH
a. General description of the site (circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other:
Both sites topography is generally flat, with a very slight slope to the northeast.
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
The steepest slope is approximately 25 percent and is located along the eastern boundary line
between the subject property and the Union Pacific Railroad property on the Strander Car Center
site. The steepest slope is approximately 50 percent and is located along West Valley Highway on
the PSE South site.
c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)?
If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime farmland.
d.
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service Soil Survey of the King County Area, Washington (1973) was
reviewed to determine the general nature of soils on the subject sites. The sites are mapped as
containing Newberg silt loam. The following soils information was taken from the Soil
Conservation Service 1973 publication.
The Newberg series is a well- drained soil formed in alluvium. Typically, the surface soil is very
dark grayish brown, gravelly silt loam and very fine sandy loam to a depth of 20 inches. The subsoil
to a depth of 60 inches contains stratified layers of dark grayish -brown and yellowish -brown very
fine sandy loam, loamy sand, and silt loam. Faint mottles are present at a depth of approximately 3
to 4 feet. The mottles become more prominent with depth. The mottles coincide with the seasonal
water table. This soil unit may contain small areas of Briscot, Oridia, and Woodinville soils.
Newberg soils are not listed by the Washington State or King County Soil Conservation Service as
hydric (wetland) soil.
Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so,
describe.
Based on the existing soil types, there does not appear to be any indication of unstable soils. See
attached geotechnical evaluation for furtherinformation on soils.
Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed.
Indicate source of fill.
Approximately 5,000 cu

Approximately 2,000 cubic yards of on site material will be excavated and used as fill within the
Strander Car Center project. site. The source of fill is not yet known but will be from an approved
source. trApprokiinately 3;500 cubic yatds` of fill Will be imported for the APSE South; Site'
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
During construction, erosion could occur as a result of clearing and grading activities. Clearing and
grading would be limited to the removal of grass And other vegetation and within the areas where the
STRANDER CAR CENTER/PSE SOUTH SITE
Environmental Checklist

parking lot would be located. In order to reduce potential erosion problems, all grading activities
would be in accordance with an approval grading and erosion plan. Erosion would not occur as a
result of the use of the finished site.

industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, v
generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. 1
z
None.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any.
Grading activities would be in accordance with an approved grading and erosion control plan. A
Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (TESC) plan has been developed for this
proposal. See attached Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan. The TESC plan was
designed in accordance with the latest edition of the City of Tukwila Engineering Standards.
2. AIR
b. Are there any off —site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so,
generally describe.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any.
The plan includes Best Management Practices (BMPs) that, when used in combination, prevent or
reduce pollution of water caused by construction activities. The TESC plan indicates the minimum
necessary measures that the contractor shall implement during the construction process. BMPs are
defined as physical, structural, and/or managerial practices that, when used in combination, prevent
or reduce pollution of water caused by construction activities. The TESC plan for the proposal has
been designed to protect off -site properties, as well as minimize the quantity of sediment -laden water
from entering the public storm system.
Short-term emissions to air from construction could occur. Suspended particles would be generated
by dust emissions from construction activities and vehicle emissions from automobiles and
construction equipment. Dust could occur during grading/construction operations. These impacts
should be minimal. Long -term emissions to air would be typical of current conditions and are not
anticipated to have an impact to the area.
Current air emissions are predominantly from vehicular traffic in the area and would not adversely
affect the proposal. No other off -site emissions would affect the proposal.
The Washington Clean Air Act requires the use of all known, available, and reasonable means of
controlling air pollution, including dust. Construction impacts would not be significant and could be
controlled by measures such as washing truck wheels before existing the site and maintaining gravel
construction entrances. In addition, dirt- driving surfaces would be watered during extended dry
periods to control dust.

The objective of our analysis was to evaluate the current site conditions and determine the approximate 0 N
number of trees previously removed from the site. This scope of work also included a recommendation of w w
w
tree species and number to be planted within an approximately 15 -foot by 290 -foot (4,350- square -foot) H U
landscape planting area. p
. z
Findings: The approximately 0.50 acre (22,000- square -foot) site is currently undeveloped, and is located v
within the shoreline of the Green River. The site is located within an area commercially developed; 0
bounded by the Interurban Trail to the east, a substation to the north, and commercial development to the z
south. Although the site is located within the shoreline of the Green River, the shoreline zone is divided
by the West Valley Highway, which forms the western site boundary. Without a contiguous connection
to the Green River, the site currently has a low habitat functional value.
The site is relatively flat with downed logs and cut tree stumps scattered throughout. The site is
dominated by grasses and shrubs including reed canarygrass. Himalayan blackberry, and salmonberry.
Nine western red cedar saplings have been planted along the northern property boundary adjacent to the
substation. A sewer line easement is located 15 to 20 feet east of the western property boundary. An
approximately 2- foot -wide informal dirt trail extends along the length of the property parallel to
West Valley Highway within the sewer line easement. Seven Douglas fir saplings have been planted in a
row along the eastern side of the dirt trail.
Recommendations: Approximately 43 tree stumps were identified throughout the entire subject site.
Many of the cut trees were coniferous species including black cottonwood, as evidenced by tree sprouts
regenerating from the stumps. The shoreline adjacent to the Green River was evaluated as an undisturbed
reference site. Dominant tree species in the shoreline included black cottonwood, big leaf maple, and
western red cedar. Table 1 below outlines trees recommended for planting in the 4,350- square -foot
landscape planting area.

Table 1— Planting List for Tree Replacement
April 8, 2003
Plant sizes and densities were selected to increase overall plant survival rate on the site. Trees should be
planted throughout the landscape area as to avoid placement within the sewer line easement. It is
recommended that plantings be installed in the early spring or late fall to minimize the need for
supplemental watering.
Limitations: The findings and conclusions documented in this letter have been prepared for specific
application to this project. They have been developed in a manner consistent with that level of care and
skill normally exercised by members of the environmental science profession currently practicing under
similar conditions in the area. Our work was also performed in accordance with the terms and conditions
set forth in our proposal. The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are professional
opinions based on an interpretation of information currently available to us and are made within the
operation scope, budget, and schedule of this project. No warranty, expressed or implied is made. In
addition, changes in government codes, regulations, or laws may occur. Because of such changes, our
observations and conclusions applicable to this site may need to be revised, wholly or in part.
Should you have questions or need additional information, please call me at (425) 251 -6222. Thank you.

RE: Responses to Shoreline Regulations for
PSE South Site
BCE Job NO. 10705
Dear Nora:
The following is our responses to the City of Tukwila Shoreline Regulations for the proposed PSE South
Site:
1. Response: The proposed rough grading is in conformance with the regulations of the
underlying zone district.
2. Response: The use does not conflict with the goals and policies of the Shoreline Master
Program or the provisions of the Shoreline Act and shoreline regulations.
3. Response: No structures or accessory facilities will be located over the river.
4. Response: The proposed project will not cause any disruption to existing trees or vegetation
within the river environment. No work is proposed within the 50 -foot river environment
measured from the mean high watermark of the Green River. The projects westerly property
line is located a minimum of 80 feet from the mean high waterline and a minimum of 30 feet
from the landward edge of the 40 -foot river environment area.
5. Response: The proposed project will not result in effluent being discharged into the Green
River, which exceeds the water quality classifications established by the State of Washington
for the adjacent portions of the river. The proposed stormwater system for the project will be
designed to incorporate water quality treatment and detention in accordance with the City of
Tukwila Development Standards, based on the 1998 King County Drainage Manual. After
receiving treatment and detention, Stormwater runoff will discharge to the east and north of
the project site, which is the direction of the pre - development flow pattern of the site.
Therefore, as currently designed, no surface water runoff from the project will discharge
directly to the Green River.
6. Response: The proposed project will comply with all State and Federal water quality
regulations determined applicable to this project by the City of Tukwila. The City currently
utilizes the 1998 King County Drainage Manual as their guideline for water quality and water
quantity runoff controls. The project will be based on the 1998 King County Drainage
Manual and will incorporate any other water quality requirements as determined appropriate
by the City and other State agencies during the SEPA and Shoreline permit process.

7. Response: The proposed project will not disturb existing wildlife habitat located in and
along the Green River. Existing vegetation located on the site consists mainly of short
pasture grass. The western boundary of the property is located a minimum of 80 feet from
the mean high watermark of the Green River and approximately 60 feet from the top -of -bank
of the river. No work is proposed within this area.
8. Response: The proposed project does not include any areas containing perimeters of
landfills or other land forms susceptible to erosion. However, prior to any clearing and
grading of the site, a temporary erosion and sedimentation control plan will be approved by
the City and implemented in the field to help prevent and control erosion from cleared areas.
All disturbed perimeter areas will be stabilized and landscaped as soon as possible during the
construction phase to minimize the potential for erosion.
10. Response: The proposed project does not include any dredging. Earthwork for the project
will be limited to minor excavation and import fill needed for future site work.
11. Response: The proposed project does not include any mining along the river shoreline or
any other areas on site.
12. Response: The proposed project will not result in the disposal of any solid waste material
along the river shoreline. Dumpsters and recycle areas will be provided on site as part of the
project to contain solid waste and recycle materials in the future.
14. Response: The proposed project does not include any land filling within the Green River
channel. No filling or grading work is proposed within a minimum of 80 feet of the mean
high watermark of the Green River.
15. Response: The proposed project does not include the removal of any cottonwood trees
located within the river environment or the low impact environment of the Green River. The
existing site does not contain any existing trees within the river environment or the low
impact environment of the Green River.
If you have any questions or need any additional information regarding these responses, please feel free to
contact me.

As requested, Earth Consultants, Inc. (ECI) is pleased to present this letter summarizing our
visual site reconnaissance for the subject site. In preparing this letter, we visited the subject
site to observe the general site conditions, reviewed the proposed development plan and
reviewed information in our library and files regarding subsurface information in the site
vicinity. This letter presents a summary of our observations and our recommendations for
placing the planned fill at the site
We understand it is planned to. fill the subject site up to the. level of West Valley Highway,
which borders the west side of the. site. The fill material would consist of general fill material
imported from a nearby site.
Eventually the site will be developed with a commercial or office development, however the
scope of this study is limited to providing recommendations for placing fill at the site.

On February 10, 2003 a representative from our firm visited the subject site to observe the
existing site conditions. The subject site is located east of West Valley Highway, about three
hundred (300) feet south of the intersection of West Valley Highway and Strander Boulevard.
The rectangular- shaped property extends about two hundred eighty (280) feet in the north -
south direction and seventy -five (75) to one hundred forty' (140) feet in the east -west
direction. The site is bordered to the north by a Puget Sound Energy power substation, to
the east by the Tukwila Interurban Trail and undeveloped land, to the west by West Valley
Highway, and to the south by a single -story retail development.
The site is located about five feet below the elevation of West Valley Highway and is
relatively flat, with less than about three feet of elevation change across the length of the
site.
The site is currently vegetated with tall grass, blackberry brambles, cottonwood trees, and
brush.
Subsurface Conditions
No subsurface exploration was conducted as part of this reconnaissance. The study area is
located within the Green River Valley. Based on our experience in this area, we anticipate the
site is underlain by moderately compressible loose silt and poorly graded sand.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Based on the results of our reconnaissance, in our opinion, the site can be filled generally as
planned. The area to receive structural fill should be stripped and cleared of surface
vegetation, organic matter, and other deleterious material. Based on our experience in this
area, we anticipate a stripping depth of six (6) to twelve (12) inches should be adequate.
However, in some localized areas the stripping depth may need to be increased to twelve (12)
to eighteen (18) inches. Stripped materials should not be mixed with materials to be used as
structural fill.

Following the stripping operation, the ground surface where structural fill is to be placed
should be observed by a representative of ECI. Proofrolling may be necessary in order to
identify soft or unstable areas. Proofrolling should be performed under the observation of a
representative of ECI. Soil in loose or soft areas, if recompacted and still yielding, should be
overexcavated and replaced with structural fill to a depth that will provide a stable base
beneath the general structural fill. The optional use of a geotextile fabric placed directly on
the overexcavated surface may help to bridge unstable areas.
Structural fill is defined as compacted fill placed under buildings, roadways, slabs,
pavements, or other load - bearing areas. During dry weather, a granular compactible soil with
a maximum grain size of six inches can be used as structural fill.
The structural fill should be placed in horizontal lifts not exceeding twelve (12) inches in loose
thickness and compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of its laboratory maximum dry density
determined in accordance with ASTM Test Designation D -1557 (Modified Proctor). The fill
materials should be placed at or near their optimum moisture content.
The site should be graded such that surface water is directed off the site. Loose surfaces
should be sealed at night by compacting the surface to reduce the potential for moisture
infiltration into the soils.
Permanent fill slopes should be . inclined no steeper than 2H:1V (Horizontal:Vertical).
Permanently exposed slopes should be seeded with an appropriate species of vegetation to
reduce erosion and improve stability.of -the surficial layer of
The weight of the fill that will be placed to raise site grades will induce settlement in the
underlying compressible soils. In order to monitor the rate and amount of settlement,
settlement monitors should be placed on the existing site subgrade before placement of the
fill. ECI can provide and install the settlement monitors and obtain periodic settlement
measurements.

The rectangular- shaped parcel contains approximately 3.5 acres of land and is located - � .
northeast of Strander Boulevard in the Northwest quarter of Section 25, Township 23 -! 0
North Range 4 East, in Tukwila, Washington (Figure 1). The site contains an ilj Z
underground stormwater detention system with several catch basins and manholes located v
throughout the site, and overhead power lines. Overall, the site is undeveloped and 0 1--
contains grassy fields and blackberry thickets that have been recently cleared and mowed. z
North of the site is a building, south of the site is a gravel road which is the easement for
Strander Boulevard, west of the site is the interurban trail and restaurants, and east of the
site is the Union Pacific Railroad grade. The base of the railroad grade contains remnants
of the ditch system. The gravel road that is situated within the Strander Boulevard
easement and development north of the site filled the ditch and severed water flow
through the ditch.

2.3 Soil Conservation Service Soil Survey of the King County Area
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service Soil Survey of the King County Area, Washington
(1973) was reviewed to determine the general nature of soils on the subject site. The site
is mapped as containing Newberg silt loam. The following soils information was taken
from the Soil Conservation Service 1973 publication.
The Newberg series is a well- drained soil formed in alluvium. Typically, the surface soil
is very dark grayish brown, gravelly silt loam and very fine sandy loam to a depth of
20 inches. The subsoil to a depth of 60 inches contains stratified layers of dark
grayish -brown and yellowish -brown very fine sandy loam, loamy sand, and silt loam.
Faint mottles are present at a depth of approximately 3- to 4 -feet. The mottles become
more prominent with depth. The mottles coincide with the seasonal water table. This soil
unit may contain small areas of Briscot, Oridia and Woodinville soils. Newberg soils are
not listed by the Washington State or King County Soil Conservation Service as hydric
(wetland) soil.
2.4 City of Tukwila Chapter 18 - Zoning Code
Review of the Definitions section and the Sensitive Areas Overlay section of the of the
City of Tukwila Chapter 18 - Zoning Code indicated that "Constructed wetlands are not
considered wetlands for the purpose of this chapter" and "Watercourses do not include
irrigation ditches, stormwater runoff channels or devices or other artificial water
courses.... ". The off -site ditch east of the site is a railroad ditch constructed through
upland soils for the purpose of draining and conveying stormwater runoff from the
railroad grade; therefore, would not be a wetland or watercourse using the City of
Tukwila Chapter 18 - Zoning Code.
3.0 SITE RECONNAISSANCE
3.1 Site Conditions During Site Visit
On June 6 and July 19, 2002, Ms. Theresa Henson with Barghausen Consulting
Engineers, Inc., visited the subject site to determine if wetland was present on or adjacent
to the site. At the client's request, during the July 19 site visit, Mr. John Comis, a
biologist with John Comis Associates, assisted with the wetland determination. The site
visits included a visual observation of the subject site and surrounding area. Dominant
vegetation on the site included grassy fields and blackberry thickets that had been
recently cleared and mowed. Wetland hydrologic conditions, soils, and vegetation are not
present on the site. Some wetland vegetation types are present east of the site in the
railroad ditch. The ditch was constructed through upland soils, as indicated on the King
County Soils Survey and confirmed in the field; therefore, would not be considered a
jurisdictional wetland. Wetland was not identified on or adjacent to the site.
3.2 Topography
The site is relatively flat and ranges in elevation from approximately 26 feet in the
southeast corner of the site to approximately 18 feet in the northeast corner of the site.
The high point is a mound of fill located adjacent to a depression located on the north
side of the gravel road (the Strander Boulevard easement). The base of the depression is
-2-
10431.001.doc [TRH/tep]
at an elevation of approximately 20 feet and appears to be a remnant of the temporary
sedimentation erosion control facility that was present on the site during placement of the
underground stormwater system. Generally, the site slopes very gently to the northeast.
The bottom of the off -site ditch was located approximately three to four feet below the
elevation of the site.
~
3.3 Fauna
Various songbirds were seen on the site. No plant or animal species, listed federally or 0 0
by the state as threatened or endangered, were observed on the site. u w
LU
J
3.4 Vegetation u_
0
Nine representative data plots were established to document plant species and dominance
of vegetation on the subject property and in the ditch located east of the site (Figure 2). g Q
The site vegetative species composition included the grassy fields and blackberry v>
thickets. Although vegetation on the site had been cleared and mowed, it was still easy to w
identify. Dominant vegetation in the off -site ditch included reedcanary grass,
z =
'—
cottonwood trees, and red -osier dogwood. Hydrophytic (wetland) plant communities F- 0
were not present on the site. Although hydrophytic vegetation was present in the off -site w !—
ditch, the ditch was not considered wetland because it was constructed through upland
soils, according to the King County Soil Survey and field verification. Data forms 0 �.
detailing observations for vegetation are included in Appendix B. g �.
w
3.5 Soils 0
0
During the site reconnaissance, soil conditions, including color, texture, and relative w Z
moisture content, were observed and recorded at nine representative data points on and 0
near the subject site. The site contains fill, gravelly sandy loam and silt loam soils that 0 F"
range from 10YR3/2 and 2/2 at the surface to 10YR 4/3 and 4/4 below the surface. The Z
off -site ditch had soils that coincided with the lower soil profile of Newberg soils. This
would be expected since the base of the ditch is 36 to 48 inches (3 to 4 feet) below the
elevation of the site. Since the soil features coincide with the lower profile of the
Newberg soil series, and Newberg soils are not considered to be hydric (wetland) soils by
the Washington State or King County Soil Conservation Service, the ditch was not
considered to have hydric (wetland) soils. Field sheets detailing observations for soils are
included in Appendix B.
3.6 Hydrology
Hydrologic conditions, including saturated soils, as well as indicators of wetland
hydrology as defined by the wetland delineation manuals, were not observed during our
site visits in June and July of 2002. The off -site ditch is expected to contain water during
the rainy season because (a) it receives runoff from the railroad grade, and (b) the ditch
was excavated 3 to 4 feet below the grade of the site and is expected to be at the level of
the seasonal water table for Newberg soils (3 to 4 feet below ground surface). Since the
off -site ditch was constructed through upland soils it is not considered to have
jurisdictional wetland hydrologic conditions.

1 4.0 CONCLUSIONS
Based on the referenced wetland delineation manuals, vegetation, soils, and hydrologic conditions
necessary for an area to be considered wetland were not found on the site. The off -site ditch was
not considered to be a jurisdictional wetland because it was constructed through upland soils.
The following evidence was used to determine that the ditch is not a jurisdictional wetland.
1. The ditch was constructed through Newberg silt loam soils that are not considered to
be hydric (wetland) soils according to the Washington State and King County Soil
Conservation Services.
2. The soil profile in the ditch was confirmed in the field to coincide with the lower
Newberg soil profile at a depth of 3 to 4 feet.
3. The ditch was excavated to a depth of 3 to 4 feet below ground surface.
4. Newberg soil contains a seasonal water table at a depth of 3 to 4 feet below ground
surface.
5.0 CLOSURE
The findings and conclusions documented in this report have been prepared for specific
application to this project. They have been developed in a manner consistent with that level of
care and skill normally exercised by members of the environmental science profession currently
practicing under similar conditions in the area. Our work was also performed in accordance with
the terms and conditions set forth in our proposal. The conclusions and recommendations
presented in this report are professional opinions based on an interpretation of information
currently available to us and are made within the operation scope, budget, and schedule of this
project. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made. In addition, changes in government codes,
regulations, or laws may occur. Because of such changes, our observations and conclusions
applicable to this site may need to be revised in whole or in part.

APPENDIX A
WETLAND DELINEATION METHODS
The triple parameter approach of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (1987)
was used to delineate the extent of wetlands on the site. Under this methodology, vegetation, soils, and
hydrology are each evaluated to determine the presence or absence of wetlands. Based on the use of this
method, an area is considered to be a wetland if each of the following is met: (1) dominant hydrophytic
vegetation is present in the area, (2) he soils in the area are hydric, and (3) he necessary hydrologic
conditions within the area are met.
The site was evaluated by conducting a walking inspection of the property. As part of this inspection,
species of vegetation adjacent to the site, soil conditions on the site, and hydrologic conditions on the site
were noted at several data plots to more accurately determine if wetlands were present on the site.
Wetland Vegetation
Hydrophytic plants are plants specially adapted for saturated and/or anaerobic conditions. The U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has assigned an indicator status to many plant
species that is based upon the estimated probability of the species existing under wetland conditions.
Plants are categorized as Obligate (OBL), Facultative Wetland (FACW), Facultative (FAC), Facultative
Upland (FACU), and Upland (UPL). Species with an indicator status of OBL, FACW, or FAC are
considered to be adapted to saturated and/or anaerobic (i.e., wetland) conditions and are referred to as
hydrophytic vegetation (Appendix B).
Trees and shrubs off of the site directly to the west were inventoried to determine what was likely present
on the site before it was cleared. The approximate percentage of cover for each of the different plant
species occurring within the tree, shrub, and herb strata was determined. Dominant plant species are
considered to be those that, when cumulatively totaled in descending order of abundance, exceed
50 percent of the areal cover for each vegetative stratum. Any additional species individually
representing 20 percent or greater of the total areal cover for each vegetative stratum are also considered
dominant.
Hydric Soils
Hydric soils are defined as those soils which are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the
growing season to develop anaerobic conditions that favor the growth and regeneration of hydrophytic
vegetation. As a result of anaerobic conditions, hydric soils exhibit characteristics directly observable in
the field, including high organic matter content, greenish or bluish grey color (gley formation),
accumulation of sulfidic material, spots of orange or yellow color (mottling), and dark soil colors (low
chromas).
Soil observations were completed within soil data plots dug with a shovel to a depth of at least 18 inches
below the existing ground surface. Soil samples were examined for the presence of hydric indicators.
Soil organic content was estimated visually and textually. The presence of sulfidic material was
determined by the presence of sulfide gases (i.e., a "rotten egg" odor). Soil colors were recorded after
being determined through use of the three aspects of color in the Munsell Soil Color Chart: hue, value
and chroma (e.g., a soil designated as 10YR 6/2 has a hue of 10YR, a value of 6, a chroma of 2, and a soil
color name of light brownish gray). A soil chroma of two in combination with soil mottling or a soil
chroma of one without soil mottling typically indicates a hydric soil.
A -1
10431.001.doc [TRH /tep]
Wetland Hydrology
Hydrologic conditions identifying wetland characteristics occur during those periods when the soils are
inundated permanently or periodically, or the soil is continuously saturated to the surface for sufficient
duration to develop hydric soils and support vegetation typically adapted for life in periodically anaerobic
conditions. Research has indicated that duration of soil saturation and inundation during the growing
season is more influential on the plant community than the frequency of soil saturation and inundation
during the growing season. For the purposes of this wetland delineation, the wetland hydrology criterion
was considered to be satisfied if it appeared that wetland hydrology was present for at least 5 to
12 percent (12 to 29 days) of the growing season. The growing season begins when the soil reaches a
temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit in the zone of root penetration.
The hydrology was evaluated by direct visual observation of surface inundation or soil saturation within
18 inches below the existing ground surface in data plots. According the 1987 Manual, "For soil
saturation to impact vegetation, it must occur within a major portion of the root zone (usually within
12 inches of the surface) of the prevalent vegetation." Therefore, if saturated soils or indicators were
observed within 12 inches of the surface, positive indicators of wetland hydrology were noted.
The area near each data plot was also examined for indicators of wetland hydrology. These indicators
include dried watermarks, drift lines, sediment deposits, and drainage patterns. It was not possible to
observe conditions during the entire growing season. Areas where positive indicators of hydrology were
noted were assumed to contain wetland hydrology.

West Valley Highway (State Route 161)
Tukwila, Washington
Dear Mr. Erikson:
Project Description
ECI understand it is planned to develop a portion of the approximately 3.2 -acre site with a
new parking lot and stormwater retention pond. The proposed parking lot will occupy the
majority of the site and will be accessible from Strander Boulevard on the south side of the
lot and along a shared access easement on the north side of the site.
Stormwater runoff from the parking lot will be collected, and controlled using a stormwater
pond located in the immediate southwestern corner of the site.
If the above design criteria are incorrect or change, we should be con tilted rto %review the
recommendations contained in this report. µ

Surface
The subject property consists of an approximately 3.25 -acre, irregular shaped site located
approximately two hundred (200) feet east of the intersection of Strander Boulevard and
West Valley Highway (State Route 181) in Tukwila. The site extends approximately 1,200
feet in a north -south direction from an undeveloped easement for Strander Boulevard along
the south side of the site to an existing parking lot to the north. The site extends
approximately one hundred (100) to two hundred (200) feet in an east -west direction from
the east side of a section of the Interurban Trail along the western property line to a spur
of the Union Pacific Railroad.
The site contains an existing office building that is to remain. At the time our study was
performed, the existing building, proposed parking lot and pond, and our exploration
locations were approximately as shown on the Test Pit Location Plan, Plate 2.
The site is essentially flat with a maximum elevation change of around eight feet within the
limits of the site. The site is bordered to the east by a five (5) to twelve (12) foot high
west - facing slope that extends up to a level railroad bed at a gradient of around 20
percent. The site is vegetated with tall grass, and localized growths of dense blackberry
brambles.
Subsurface Conditions
Subsurface conditions for the proposed site improvements were evaluated by excavating
seven test pits to a maximum depth of eleven (11) feet below existing grade within the
proposed parking lot and stormwater pond. Please refer Table I for a more detailed
description of the subsurface conditions encountered at each location explored. The
following is a brief description of the conditions encountered at our test pit locations.
At our test pit locations, we encountered a surficial layer of grass and brush over topsoil.
The topsoil and vegetation layer was typically two to three inches thick. The topsoil was
characterized by its dark brown color, loose consistency, and the presence of abundant
roots.
Underlying the topsoil and vegetative layer we encountered one to three feet of loose to
medium dense fill comprised of silty sand with gravel (Unified Soil Classification, SM), silty
gravel (GM), and silt with varying amounts of sand (ML). The fill was characterized by its
disturbed appearance, and the presence of angular gravel and localized zones of concrete,
metal and plastic debris.
Earth Consultants, Inc.
Puget Western, Inc.
October 7, 2002
Underlying the topsoil at our test pit locations, we encountered two and one half to eight
feet of medium dense silt (ML) over loose to medium dense poorly graded sand with silt
(SP -SM) to the maximum exploration depth of eleven (11) feet below existing grade. In
Test Pit TP -1, we encountered a two and one half foot thick layer of medium dense silty
fine sand (SM) from five to seven and one half feet below existing grade.
Groundwater
No groundwater seepage was encountered at our test pit locations to the maximum
exploration depth of eleven (11) feet below grade. However, increased soil moisture, iron
oxide staining, and mottling were encountered at widely varying depths. The increased soil
moisture, iron oxide staining, and mottled soils were most commonly encountered at
around seven to nine feet below existing grade. The observed mottling and iron oxide
staining may be indicative of the seasonal high groundwater table in the area.
Based on observed soil and groundwater conditions, in our opinion, moderate to heavy
groundwater seepage could be encountered in deep excavations extending to around eight
or nine feet below existing grade if the grading is conducted during the winter season. The
contractor should be aware that groundwater levels are not static. There will likely be
fluctuations in the groundwater level depending on the season, amount of rainfall, surface
water runoff, and other factors. Generally, the water level is higher and seepage rates are
greater in the wetter winter months (typically October through May).
Laboratory Testing
Moisture content tests were conducted on representative soil samples at various depths
throughout the site. The moisture contents of the representative samples are provided on
the individual test pit logs provided in Table I. The classifications shown on the
accompanying logs are based on visual field classifications at the time of our subsurface
exploration. It is important to note that these test results may not accurately represent the
overall in -situ soil conditions. Our geotechnical recommendations are based on our
interpretation of these test results and their use in guiding our engineering judgment. ECI
cannot be responsible for the interpretation of these data by others.
In accordance with our Standard Fee Schedule and General Conditions, the soil samples for
this project will be discarded after a period of fifteen days following completion of this
report unless we are otherwise directed in writing.

DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
Based on the results of our study, it is our opinion the proposed parking lot, and the
stormwater pond can be constructed generally as planned.
Site pavements should be supported on existing competent native soil or on a minimum of
twelve (12) inches of newly placed structural fill. Depending on the condition of the soil
exposed at the pavement subgrade elevations, compacting the exposed soil in -place to the
requirements of structural fill may be possible, provided the recommendations contained in
our study are followed. Detailed recommendations pertaining to preparation of the
pavement subgrade are contained in the Site Preparation and General Earthwork and
Pavement Areas sections of this study.
At our test pit locations we encountered up to three feet of loose to medium dense fill. If
loose fill or native soil is encountered at the pavement subgrade elevations it should either
be compacted in -place to the requirements of structural fill or overexcavated and replaced
with a minimum of twelve (12) inches of structural fill. The fill also contained trace
amounts of miscellaneous concrete, plastic, and metal debris. If debris laden fill is
encountered at pavement subgrade elevations, it should be overexcavated and replaced
with structural fill.
Site Preparation and General Earthwork
The proposed parking and drive areas should be stripped and cleared of surface vegetation,
organic matter, and other deleterious material. Based on the thickness of the topsoil and
grass layers observed at the site, we estimate a stripping depth of two to four inches will
be needed. Stripped materials should not be mixed with materials to be used as structural
fill.
If loose soil or debris laden fill is encountered at pavement subgrade elevations, it should
be overexcavated and replaced with structural fill.
Following the stripping operation and excavations necessary to achieve pavement subgrade
elevations, the ground surface where structural fill or pavements are to be placed should be
observed by a representative of ECI. Soil in loose or soft areas, if recompacted and still
yielding, should be overexcavated and replaced with structural fill to a depth that will
provide a stable base beneath the general structural fill. The optional use of a geotextile
fabric placed directly on the overexcavated surface may help to bridge unstable areas.

Structural fill is defined as compacted fill placed under foundations, roadways, slabs,
pavements, or other load- bearing areas. Fill under pavements and walks should be placed
in horizontal lifts not exceeding twelve (12) inches in loose thickness and compacted to 90
percent of maximum dry density except for the top twelve (12) inches which should be
compacted to 95 percent of maximum dry density determined in accordance with ASTM
Test Designation D- 1557 -91 (Modified Proctor). The fill materials should be placed at or
near their optimum moisture content.
During dry weather, most soils that are compactable and non - organic can be used as
structural fill. Based on the results of our laboratory tests, most of the site soils appeared
to be near their optimum moisture content and should be suitable for use in their present
condition as structural fill, provided the grading operations are conducted during dry
weather. However, the site is underlain by moisture sensitive soils that will degrade if
exposed to excessive moisture, and compaction and grading will be difficult if the soil
moisture increases significantly above its optimum condition.
If the site soils are exposed to moisture and cannot be adequately compacted then it may
be necessary to import a soil that can be compacted. During dry weather, any non - organic
compactable soil with a maximum grain size of six inches can be used. Fill for use during
wet weather should consist of a fairly well graded granular material having a maximum
grain size of four inches and no more than 5 percent fines passing the No. 200 sieve based
on the minus 314 -inch fraction. A contingency in the earthwork budget should be included
for this possibility.
Pavement Areas
The adequacy of paved parking and driveway areas will be related in part to the condition
of the underlying subgrade. To provide a properly prepared subgrade for pavements, the
subgrade should be treated and prepared as described in the Site Preparation and General
Earthwork section of this report. This means at least the top twelve (12) inches of the
subgrade should be compacted to 95 percent of the maximum dry density (per ASTM D-
1557 -91) and should be unyielding under a proof roll. It is possible that some localized
areas of soft, wet or unstable subgrade may still exist after this process. Overexcavation
and replacement with structural fill or crushed rock may be needed to stabilize these
localized areas.

The following pavement section for lightly - loaded areas can be used:
E -10323
Page 6
• Two inches of asphalt concrete (AC) over four inches of crushed rock base (CRB)
material, or
• Two inches of AC over three inches of asphalt treated base (ATB) material,
Heavier truck - traffic areas will require thicker sections depending upon site usage,
pavement life and site traffic. In our opinion, the following pavement sections can be used
for truck - trafficked areas:
• Three inches of AC over six inches of CRB, or
• Three inches of AC over four and one -half inches of ATB,
Pavement materials should conform to WSDOT specifications. A Class B asphalt mix
should be used.
Utility Trench Backfill
The native and fill soils should generally provide adequate support for underground utilities.
However, the loose condition of some of the soils may require remedial measures such as
over excavating soft soils or compacting the soils exposed in the trench bottom. In
addition, caving of trench walls in the granular soils should be anticipated.
Utility trench backfill is a major concern in reducing the potential for settlement along utility
alignments, particularly in pavement areas. Therefore, it is important that each section of
utility line be adequately supported in the bedding material. The material should be hand
tamped to ensure support is provided around the pipe haunches. Fill should be carefully
placed and hand tamped to about twelve (12) inches above the crown of the pipe before
heavy compaction equipment is brought into use. The remainder of the trench backfill
should be placed in lifts having a loose thickness of less than twelve (12) inches. A typical
trench backfill section and compaction requirements for load supporting and non -load
supporting areas is presented on Plate 3.

Stormwater Pond
E -10323
Page 7
The proposed development will also include construction of a stormwater control pond.
The pond will be located in the immediate northwestern portion of the site. Based on our
subsurface exploration, construction of the stormwater control pond as shown on the
preliminary site plan provided by the project civil engineer should be feasible.
The permanent slopes around the perimeter of the pond should be should be inclined no
steeper than 2H:1V
Excavations and Slopes
The following information is provided solely as a service to our client. Under no
circumstances should this information be interpreted to mean that ECI is assuming
responsibility for construction site safety or the Contractor's activities, such responsibility
is not being implied and should not be inferred.
In no case should excavation slopes be greater than the limits specified in local, state
(WISHA), and Federal (OSHA) safety regulations. Based on the information obtained from
the subsurface exploration, the loose to medium dense fill and native soils encountered at
our test pit locations would be classified as Type C by OSHA /WISHA. Temporary cuts
greater than four feet in height in Type C soils should be sloped at an inclination of
1.5H:1 V (Horizontal:Vertical).
If slopes of this inclination, or flatter, cannot be constructed, temporary shoring may be
necessary. Shoring will help protect against slope or excavation collapse, and will provide
protection to workers in the excavation. If temporary shoring is required, we will be
available to provide shoring design criteria.
Permanent cut and fill slopes should be inclined no steeper than 2H:1V. Cut slopes should
be observed by ECI during excavation to verify that conditions are as anticipated.
Supplementary recommendations can then be developed, if needed, to improve stability,
including flattening of slopes or installation of surface or subsurface drains.
Permanently exposed slopes should be seeded with an appropriate species of vegetation to
reduce erosion and improve stability of the surficial layer of soil.

No groundwater seepage was encountered at our test pit locations to the maximum

w
In our opinion, moderate to heavy groundwater seepage could be encountered in deep
excavations of around eight feet below grade. If seepage is encountered, the bottom of E
the excavation should be sloped to one or more shallow sump pits. The collected water
then be pumped from these pits to a positive and permanent discharge. Depending on I- i
the magnitude of such seepage, it may also be necessary to connect the sump pits by a z
system of connector trenches. z o
The appropriate locations of subsurface drains, if needed, should be established during o
grading operations by EC1's representative at which time the seepage areas, if present, o E--
may be more clearly defined. _ 0
During construction, the site must be graded such that surface water is directed away from . z
proposed fill areas. Water must not be allowed to stand in areas where pavements are to U
co
be constructed. Loose surfaces should be sealed by compacting the surface to reduce the p
potential for moisture infiltration into the soils. Z

Dear Mr. Mattson:
City of Tukwila
Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director
Mr. Harley Mattson, Planner
Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc.
18215 72 Avenue South
Kent, WA 98032
RE: Request for Zoning Code Interpretation
Thank you for your letter to Steve Lancaster, Director of the Department of Community
Development, requesting a zoning code interpretation on whether an unstaffed, stand alone
parking lot for rental vehicles is a use "...similar in nature to and compatible with other uses
permitted outright within this district," and consistent with both the stated purpose of the
Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) district and the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan.
I agree that the proposed rental car storage is most similar to the "commercial parking" use
permitted in the TUC. The site meets the requirement of being located at least 175 feet from
West Valley Highway and the parking will be located behind the commercial buildings that front
on West Valley Highway. The project will be required to provide fifteen (15) feet of Type 3
landscaping on the west and south sides of the site to provide screening from the adjacent streets.
As noted in the Planning Checklist from the Development Review meeting, an additional 15
square feet of interior landscaping is required per parking stall. Enclosed is a copy of Chapter
18.52, the Landscaping Code, which sets forth the landscaping requirements.
I also want to pass along some very preliminary comments from the Public Works Department
regarding development requirements. A traffic study will be required for the project. Frontal
improvements on Strander Blvd will be required (curb, gutter, sidewalk, street lights, drainage).
Your project must also be coordinated with the City's planned extension of Strander Blvd. across
the railroad tracks, including setbacks from the property line and right -of -way. The crossing of
the trail and signage must be coordinated with the City. An emergency services connection on
the north end of the site to Embassy Suites parking lot must be provided.

INFORMATION
State Shoreline requirements are implemented through the Tukwila Zoning Code, Shoreline Overlay
District (Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.44). Areas annexed to the City after the 1974 adoption of the
Tukwila Shoreline Master Plan are subject to the King County Shoreline Master Program. Generally, the
areas still subject to King County's Shoreline regulations are located north of the 42 " Avenue South
bridge.
REQUIREMENTS: All improvements over $2,500 and within 200 ft. of the Duwamish/Green River
and associated wetlands require a "Shoreline Development Permit" except the following:
• Owner- occupied construction of a single family
house that does not exceed 35 feet in height
and/or pier construction when the pier
construction costs are less than $2,500 in salt
water and $10,000 in fresh water;
• Normal maintenance and repair;
• Normal bulkheads common to single family
residences;
• Habitat improvements which are part of a
watershed plan;
• Hazardous waste remediation when approved
by the State;
• Emergency construction needed to protect
property from imminent danger;
PROCEDURES: Within 28 days of receiving your application, City Staff determines if it is complete,
based on the following "Complete Application Checklist. If not, you will be mailed a letter outlining what
additional information is needed.
A shoreline permit decision is made administratively by the Director of the Department of Community
Development. If the project also involves other land use actions, such as design review, that require a public
hearing, the applicant may request that the Shoreline Permit be heard along with the other permit(s) at the
public hearing. The City's decision will be sent for review by the Department of Ecology, which has 21 days
to take jurisdiction. No construction may occur during that time, although building permits may be
reviewed.

PUBLIC NOTICE MATERIALS:
COMPLETE APPLICATION CHECKLIST
The materials listed below must be submitted with your application, unless specifically waived in writing by the
Public Works Department and the Department of Community Development. Please contact each Department if
you feel that certain items are not applicable to your project and should be waived, or should be submitted at a
later date for use at the Public Hearing (e.g., revised colored renderings). Application review will not begin until
it is determined to be complete.
Once an application is determined to be complete, it is considered "vested" — that is, the application is considered
under the zoning and other land use controls in effect at the time the complete application is filed. However,
having a complete application in no way limits the City's ability to require additional information as needed to
establish consistency with development standards.
City staff are available to answer questions about application materials at 206 - 431 -3670 (Department of
Community Development) and 206 - 433 -0179 (Department of Public Works).
