PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Construct a 14,600 square foot clubhouse, demolish an existing three -story clubhouse and associated buildings, alteration of golf course tees and greens near the new structure and new 286 car parking lot. The proposed clubhouse includes a 200 seat restaurant and lounge and two one thousand square foot meetings rooms. Construction of a portion of the parking lot, removal of an abandoned single family house formerly used as the golf course maintenance office and removal of vegetation such as cedar trees will occur within the shoreline environment. 2. POLICIES OF THE SMA/SMP: MEMORANDUM The site is within the jurisdiction of the Tukwila Shoreline Management Program (SMP). This program was adopted in June, 1974 and amended March 16, 1982. The City's SMP was reviewed and approved by the State Department of Ecology as being consistent with the State Shoreline Management Act, adopted in 1971. The Shoreline Master Plan establishes three management zones adjacent to the Green/Duwamish River: River Zone: An impact buffer area which provides for resource protection, flood control maintenance, pollution control and landscape enhancement. This zone includes the first 40 feet from the mean high water mark. Low Impact Zone: A transition area intended to minimize physical and visual impact on the river zone while accommodating shoreline development. This zone includes the second 60 feet from the mean high water mark. Steven M. Mullet, Mayor 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 ': ..�.:ttii.�.H+aeaw,+�� z ce 6 J U 0 • UJ J • u_ . w g? .g2 I Z F ... • O Z �- w w U � O N o I— w W o w z O~ z L02 -044: Foster Golf Links Clubhouse and Parking Lot Shoreline Substantial Development Permit High Impact Zone: An area to provide for more intensive use of the shoreline resource. This zone includes the area from 100 feet to 200 feet from the mean high water mark. The applicable policies of the City's Shoreline Management Program are set forth below along with a discussion of the proposed project. City of Tukwila Shoreline Master Plan: Overall Goals: 1. Promote reasonable and appropriate use of the shorelines, which will promote and enhance public interest. 2. Protect against adverse effects against the public health, the land, its vegetation and wildlife and the waters and their aquatic life within Tukwila. 3. Protect public rights of navigation. 4. Recognize and protect private property rights consistent with public interest. 5. Maintain a high quality of environment along the shorelines of Tukwila. 6. Preserve and protect fragile natural resources and culturally significant features. 7. Provide safe and reasonable access for the public to the shorelines. 8. Recognize, protect, and improve aquatic habitats and spawning grounds of the Green River, which are invaluable natural resources. 9. Recognize, protect and improve those wildlife habitats, which are valuable natural resources of the State. 10. Encourage recreational activities unique to or dependent upon the use of the river which benefit the public interest. Response: The proposed project is a clubhouse with a pro -shop, meeting rooms, a restaurant and lounge, and golf cart storage with associated office and maintenance space. The project is located in an area of the City designated on the Comprehensive Plan Map for Commercial /Light Industrial and Low Density Residential activity. Adjacent land uses consist of single family residential across the river on the north, a rendering plant across the river on the east and multifamily on the west across Interurban Avenue South along with a METRO park and ride facility. The Duwamish River borders the golf course on three sides. The Green River Trail runs along Interurban Avenue South in this location. An existing retention/bioswale located in the Low Impact Environment will be enlarged to handle the additional runoff generated by the larger clubhouse and enlarged parking lot. The enlarged clubhouse is expected to enhance the functioning of the golf course and increase its visibility as a recreational facility. This will also have an economic benefit resulting from the multiple uses of the facility (restaurant, lounge, meeting rooms). This can be viewed in some respects as enhancing the public interest. The project will not interfere with the navigation of the Green River. There may be culturally significant features on the site, based on initial research carried out by Larson c: \mydocs \roster Golf Course \\shoreline -staff rpt.doc 2 L02 -044: Foster Golf Links Clubhouse and Parking Lot Shoreline Substantial Development Permit Anthropological Archaeological Services Limited, which prepared an Archaeological Resources and Traditional Cultural Places Assessment for this project. The golf course is located on a portion of the Joseph Foster Homestead and a maple tree planted in 1873 by Joseph Foster lies within the Low Impact Environment of the shoreline. A professional archaeologist is required to monitor any ground disturbing activities that extend into native soils as a condition of the SEPA determination. There is a Windrow of cedar and coastal redwood trees that were planted in 1933 by George Eddy around the same time as a house that he built, which may be located in the former location of Joseph Foster's third home. Most of the Windrow is proposed to be removed to increase the number of parking stalls for the project. The trees have been evaluated by a certified arborist who determined that most of the trees are in poor to fair condition and have suffered significant root loss during the construction of the parking lots and retaining wall in years past. The arborist stated: "The resultant damage often causes significant root rot that can take decades to manifest itself. Given the genetics of these trees that grow to such immense size, I do recommend that all ten of these trees be removed." A copy of the arborist's reports is attached (see Attachment A). One tree, a 30" caliper Port Orford cedar tree that is located closest to the historic maple tree will be retained. Those trees that fall within the Low Impact shoreline environment must be replaced based on the requirement of Tukwila's Tree Ordinance (TMC 18.54). Some of the required replacement trees will be used to screen the parking on the east side of the historic maple tree. Enhancement of the riverbank adjacent to the historic maple tree and the enlarged retention/bioswale will be required, with native vegetation being planted and invasive vegetation being removed. One comment was received during the Notice of Application comment period from an adjacent resident objecting to the removal of the Windrow trees. Additional comments on the removal of the Windrow were received during the comment period on the SEPA MDNS. A copy of the comments received, the SEPA staff report, analysis prepared by Adolfson and Associates of the comments received and Director's memo reconsidering the SEPA determination are attached (See Attachment B). The Director reaffirmed the MDNS after a review of the comments and the analysis by Adolfson and Associates. The project will not interfere with the aquatic habitat and spawning grounds found in the Green River. The analysis referred to above by Adolfson and Associates confirms that the project and the removal of the Windrow will not impact spawning grounds or other threatened habitat. The closest public access to the river is available just off -site to the north at an historic marker, which marks the location of Foster Landing at Foster Homestead and provides three benches for viewing the river. The marker notes that flat- bottomed boats carried passengers and goods on the Duwamish River from 1854 to 1886. The river also is observable from various greens on the golf course. The Green River Trail, which also c: \mydocs \Poster Golf Course\\shorelinc-staff rpt.doc 3 L02 -044: Foster Golf Links Clubhouse and Parking Lot Shoreline Substantial Development Permit provides public access to the river, is not located on golf course along this stretch of the river, but rather has been relocated to run along the street to avoid conflicts between golfers and bicyclists, joggers and pedestrians, which could result in injuries. The applicant has not noted any significant birds or animals nesting in the trees identified to be removed. The amount of human activity on the golf course may preclude much wildlife habitat, however, the improvements to the riverbank required because of the removal of significant trees in the Low and High Impact shoreline environments will foster improvements to fish habitat in the river and habitat for other wildlife that utilize the river. The applicant has stated: "The cedar trees currently may provide some nesting opportunities for wildlife, but are not close enough to the River to provide shade. While no eagles have been observed in the vicinity during field visits, the large cedars could potentially be used for perching. After removal of the trees it is unknown whether eagles would seek alternate perch locations in other tall trees located on the golf course. As the golf course is always planting and removing trees during its six year master plan alteration, it is unlikely, but unknown, that the removal of the planned trees on the fully treed 60 acre site will cause disruption to the flyway patterns. Replacement trees are being installed on the golf course and in the parking lot. While coastal bull trout are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, no data on file at the City of Tukwila was available that listed or identified confirming the presence of spawning or rearing bull trout within the Duwamish River. Previous Environmental Impact statement on file at the City indicate the Puget Sound Evolutionary Significant Unit (ESU) Chinook salmon are federally- listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Reproducing populations of Puget Sound ESU Chinook salmon exist in the Duwamish River, however, the development of the clubhouse and removal of the cedar trees is not expected to have an impact on the salmon population." A copy of the shoreline substantial development permit application and response to technical comments from the City is attached as Attachment C. Economic Development Element Goals: 1. Encourage economic development along shorelines that will enhance the quality of life for the residents of Tukwila with minimum disruption of the environment. 2. Encourage economic development along shorelines that will result in long -term over short-term benefits for the river shoreline. c: \mydocs \Foster Golf Course \\shoreline -staff rpt.doc 4 L02 -044: Foster Golf Links Clubhouse and Parking Lot Shoreline Substantial Development Permit 3. Recognize the quality of the existing economic activities along the river and discourage any future economic activities that may be of less quality. 4. Encourage inland location of development so that access along the shorelines is enhanced. 5. Encourage commercial development of public recreational facilities consistent with shoreline goals and policies. Response: The construction of the clubhouse, which is located outside the shoreline environment, will not interfere with the enjoyment of the river as currently experienced by users of the golf course. The construction of a larger clubhouse may permit more individuals to enjoy the shoreline area, either as users of the golf course or the meeting rooms or restaurant/lounge to be located in the clubhouse. An enlarged clubhouse may increase revenues generated by the golf course, golf instruction, cart rental, pro -shop etc. The project will generate construction jobs during the time the building is under construction and permanent employment for approximately 19 -40 people and to that extent enhances the quality of life for the residents of Tukwila. The golf course is a public course, not a private facility to which membership is required before use. • Public Access Element Goals: 1. Encourage safe, convenient and diversified access for the public to the shorelines of Tukwila. 3. Increase public access to publicly owned shorelines. 4. Encourage inland location of development so that access along shorelines is enhanced. Response: The goals of this section relate to providing public access to the river. There is a public trail system that runs the length of the Green River. In this portion of the river, the trail is located along Interurban Avenue South to separate the golfing recreational activity from pedestrian and bicycling activities. Visual access is available to players on the golf course. Users of the clubhouse will not have direct river views. The applicant notes that "..(w)hile this project will not alter the access to the river, the project will attract more golf and non -golf citizens to the facility, which will bring greater recognition to the river and the recreational opportunities." Circulation Element Goals: The Circulation Element of the City's Shoreline Master Program applies to the location of proposed major roads, transportation routes and other public facilities within the shoreline. The proposed project does not involve the location of any public roads or public facilities within the shoreline aside from a small portion of the internal driveway system that provides access to the parking stalls. A very small portion of this driveway lies within the River Environment, but pre -dates the adoption of the City's Shoreline Master Program. c: \mydocs \Foster Golf Course \\shoreline -staff rpt.doc 5 _ L02 -044: Foster Golf Links Clubhouse and Parking Lot Shoreline Substantial Development Permit This driveway is also near the historic maple tree. The applicant originally planned to restore the asphalt driveway but not expand the driveway. The project has been revised to avoid any work in the section of the driveway that is closest to the river and the historic maple tree. z Q =z ce ` Recreational Element Goals: 6 v 00 co D 1. Encourage recreational activities and related facilities unique to or dependent upon the use of the river, which benefit the public interest. -J i- 2. Encourage diverse, convenient and adequate recreational opportunities along the w o shorelines for the local residents and a reasonable number of transient users. 2 g Response: A public trail system runs along the Green River, alternating sides of the river on which it is located. As noted above under Public Access, the Trail does not run along w the River along this portion of the river. The golf course itself is a recreation facility z '— located within the shoreline, and while it is not shoreline dependent, use of the golf course I-- O does provide access to the river for patrons of the golf course. U � O — rn w w I— o ..z w U= O I Shoreline Use Element Goals: 1. Encourage appropriate development in suitable locations without diminishing the quality of environment along the shorelines of the river. 2. Shoreline activities should be consistent with the overall goals for development along the river. Response: The construction of the new clubhouse is outside the shoreline environment. Only a portion of the access drive and 51 of the parking stalls lie within the shoreline environment. Conservation Element Goals: 1. Encourage preservation of unique, fragile and scenic elements, and of non- renewable natural resources; assure continued utilization of the renewable resources. 2. Encourage the preservation as much as possible of the natural character of the river and its shoreline. 3. Encourage the preservation of resources and ecology of the river and its shoreline. 4. Water quality in the river should be sufficiently high to permit human use and provide a suitable use and habitat for desirable forms of aquatic life. Response: As noted above and in other sections, no structures will be constructed in the shoreline environment. The road that provides access to the northern parking stalls was c: \mydocs \Poster Golf Course \\shoreline -staff rpt.doc 6 . z L02 -044: Foster Golf Links Clubhouse and Parking Lot Shoreline Substantial Development Permit originally proposed to be removed and repaved and additional parking stalls created. The project has been modified to eliminate this element of the proposal. The applicant will not disturb the driveway and one mature cedar tree (Port Orford Cedar) will be retained. This required the parking area be revised as noted on Attachment D. Mature trees will be removed that fall within the Low and High Impact shoreline environment. Trees that fall within the Low Impact environment are regulated by the City's Tree Ordinance that requires replacement of significant trees, that is trees over 4 inches in caliper. The landscape plan will be required to be revised to indicate the number of replacement trees that must be provided based on the size of the trees in the shoreline that will be removed. In addition, an enhancement plan for the portion of the river immediately adjacent to the historic maple tree and the current retention/bioswale will be required as mitigation for the removal of the trees and the expansion of the retention/bioswale in the shoreline environment. The applicant has stated: Historical /Cultural Element "This project will not impact the sandbars, wetlands or watercourse of the river that are important for habitat, as the majority of the project is well beyond the 200' zone of the river. The portion of the work within the 40' to 200' zone is earthwork, which will be held to the high City standards of erosion control and the best known implemental practices of the industry. Absolutely no work is to be performed within the river zone itself The cedar trees being removed may currently provide some nesting opportunities for wildlife, but are not close enough to the river to provide shade. While no eagles have been observed in the vicinity during field visits, the large cedars could potentially be used for perching. After removal of the trees it is unknown whether eagles would seek alternate perch locations in other tall trees located on the golf course. As the golf course is always planting and removing trees during its six year master plan alteration, it is unlikely, but unknown, that the removal of the planned trees on the filly treed 60 acre site will cause disruption to the flyway patterns. Replacement trees are being installed on the golf course and in the parking lot." 1. Protect or restore areas having historic, cultural, educational or scientific values. 2. The long -term effects upon the river must be considered over short-term benefits, economic or otherwise. Response: An Archaeological Resources and Traditional Cultural Places Assessment was prepared for this site. The study determined that there may be a possible hunter- fisher- gatherer or ethnographic period campsite located on the site and that there are two historic c: \mydocs \Foster Golf Course \'shoreline -staff rpt.doc 7 L02 -044: Foster Golf Links Clubhouse and Parking Lot Shoreline Substantial Development Permit buildings that may be significant, the current Foster Golf Links Clubhouse and George Eddy house as well as a cultural feature that may be significant, the Windrow, located on the property as well. The study recommends that the possible hunter- fisher- gatherer or ethnographic period campsite be avoided and that a professional historian inventory and if necessary evaluate the existing clubhouse, George Eddy House and Windrow for significance prior to demolition. The site also contains the Foster Maple Tree, which was planted July 4, 1873. As a condition of SEPA, the project will be required to have a professional archeologist on -site during any ground disturbing activities both in the area of the hunter- fisher- gatherer or ethnographic period campsite as well as any other areas where construction might intersect with undisturbed native soils. A second condition of SEPA approval requires that a professional historian must inventory and if necessary, evaluate the existing clubhouse, George Eddy House and Windrow for significance prior to their demolition. 3. SHORELINE REGULATIONS: Following are the relevant review criteria as contained in the Tukwila Shoreline Regulations (Tukwila Municipal Code, Chapter 18.44) as applied by the City of Tukwila. A. TMC 18.44.110 General Shoreline Regulations All uses within the shoreline overlay district must conform to the following general regulations: 1. The use is in conformance with the regulations of the underlying zone district. Response: The zoning on this parcel is Commercial /Light Industrial and Low Density Residential and has been developed as a golf course since 1925. The components of the clubhouse (restaurant, pro -shop, lounge) are permitted uses within the Commercial /Light Industrial district. The Tukwila Board of Architectural Review will review the project at a public hearing to consider the design of the building and the landscaping plan. 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. Response: Section 2, above is a discussion of the goals of the City's adopted Shoreline Management Program. Several conditions will be required as part of approval of the shoreline permit. As a result, the proposed project will be consistent with the City's adopted Shoreline Management Program. 3. No structures or accessory facilities shall be located over the river unless such structure protects or promotes the public interest. Response: No structures or accessory facilities are located over the river. c: \mydocs \Foster Golf Course \\shoreline -staff rpt.doc 8 L02 -044: Foster Golf Links Clubhouse and Parking Lot Shoreline Substantial Development Permit 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; Z Response: No existing trees or vegetation in the River Environment will be removed or ce 2 disturbed. There will be large cedar trees removed from the Low Impact Environment; these trees must be replaced based on the standards found in the City's Tree Ordinance. v o To mitigate the removal of these large trees the applicant will be required to provide a w i restoration plan for the portion of the riverbank immediately adjacent to the historic maple —J t- tree. u w0 5. No effluent shall be discharged into the Green River which exceeds the water quality g Q classification as established by the State for the adjacent portion of the river. rn a = Response: No effluent will be discharged into the Green River. The existing z retention/bioswale will be enlarged to handle the increase in impervious area due to the z o new clubhouse and the enlarged parking lot. The storm water drainage system will be w designed and constructed in accordance with the standards and specifications of the King v County Surface Water Design Manual. p - . 0 I-- The applicant has stated the following: 0 w O "The design of the storm water control system is an enhancement of the i v Z existing on -site system, expanded to meet the existing off site needs as well �? as the larger building footprint and the larger parking lot. This p 1-- enhancement is primarily an enlargement of the existing water quality z treatment and pond along the number one golf hole. The pond is being enlarged as a feature of the first hole to accommodate the larger requirements of this project. The entire drainage collection and treatment system has been reviewed on a preliminary basis by the Public Works department and has been met with approval. The source of the storm water flowing through the site is primarily storm water collected in the parking lot of the facility, as the existing lot is being re- graded and expanded. The storm water from the building footprint will either be tied into the storm system or will be discharged into the new water feature adjacent to the new ninth green. The only off -site introduction of water is the existing tie to the storm water collected from the City Shops and golf course maintenance building. At the request of the City Public Works department, the pond is being enlarged to handle the off site storm water from the shops that was previously not addressed. This existing connection to the City Shops is not being altered under this project. c: \mydocs \Foster Golf Course \\shoreline -sta rpt.doc 9 L02 -044: Foster Golf Links Clubhouse and Parking Lot Shoreline Substantial Development Permit This clubhouse project is not adding a fuel storage area to the golf course, and it is not altering any method of storing, handling or use of fertilizers. The entire list of fertilizers used at the site has been approved by the City Public Works Department's Biologist for use on all areas of the course, including the areas adjacent to the river. To reduce the impact on the storm ;� w system and the river, this project will not house any fertilizers under any ce 2 circumstances, even temporarily." ► -I v U 5. All State and federal water quality regulations shall be strictly complied with. w w J H' Response: The project will comply with all State and federal water quality regulations. w o 6. Wildlife habitat in and along the river should be protected. a I Response: Wildlife habitat in and along the river will not be altered by the construction of z w H this project. With the restoration of the riverbank adjacent to the historic maple tree, there F- O z i—. may be an improvement of wildlife habitat over what currently exists. DJ o As noted earlier under the discussion of the City's Shoreline Master Program, the redwood p (.0 trees may provide some nesting opportunities for wildlife, but they are not located close w enough to the river to provide shade. The analysis prepared by Adolfson and Associates to o supplement the SEPA review addressed the habitat value of the redwoods as they relate to u ~O the threatened species of the marbeled murrelet and juvenile salmonids. The applicant notes that the golf course is constantly planting and removing trees on the site and it is not v known whether this causes disruption to the flyway patterns of birds. Replacement trees 0 will be planted for the trees removed from the Low Impact Environment. Z Please also see the applicant's response under "Conservation Element" above. 7. All perimeters of landfills or other land forms susceptible to erosion shall be provided with vegetation, retaining walls or other satisfactory mechanisms for erosion prevention. Response: A land altering permit will be required for this project. Silt fences and siltation control ponds will be installed to control storm water prior to discharge into the existing drainage structures. New catch basins will be installed to convey storm water from the site. 8. All necessary permits shall be obtained from federal, State, County or municipal agencies. c: \mydocs \Poster Golf Course \\shoreline -staff rpt.doc 10 e L02 -044: Foster Golf Links Clubhouse and Parking Lot Shoreline Substantial Development Permit Response: No federal permits are required.

Response: This project does not propose any landfilling within the river channel. 14. ...(R)emoval of any cottonwood tree within the river environment or the low impact environment, which tree is 12 inches or greater in diameter as measured 4.5 feet above grade, shall be subject to the requirements of TMC Chapter 18.54, Tree Regulations. Response: As noted earlier, there are trees that will be removed within the Low Impact Environment. These will be replaced based on the requirements of the City's Tree Ordinance. B. TMC 18.44.130 Specific shoreline regulations — river environment. c: \mydocs \Foster Golf Course \\shoreline -sta rpt.doc 11 z L02 -044: Foster Golf Links Clubhouse and Parking Lot Shoreline Substantial Development Permit The River Environment consists of a 40 -foot wide management zone, measured from the mean high water mark. Uses in the River Environment are restricted to such uses as footpaths or trails, recreation facilities, dikes, bridges, or fire lanes. The River Environment on this site ends approximately at the top of the riverbank. A small portion of the driveway around the historic maple tree encroaches into the River Environment. This driveway existed prior to the adoption of the City's Shoreline Master Program. The project has been revised to eliminate the planned renovations to the asphalt driveway. No additional improvements or development are proposed within the River Environment on this site other than the vegetation enhancements required through the tree cutting permit. C. TMC 18.44.140 Specific shoreline regulations — low impact environment The low impact environment consists of a 60 -foot wide management zone, beginning at the end of the River Environment and proceeding 60 feet landward. Types of uses permitted in the low impact environment include structures not exceeding 35 feet in height, adequately screened or landscaped parking/loading and storage facilities, utilities, public or private streets or signs. Within the low impact environment on this site are located parking, and portions of the vehicle access ways, including access for cars. TMC 18.44.140 B. states: Low impact environment uses shall conform to the following standards: 1. Structures shall be sited and appropriately landscaped in accordance with underlying zoning regulations; Response: No structures are proposed to be located in the Low Impact Environment. 2. Access roads shall be located no closer than ten feet to buildings, spur tracks or parking/loading and storage facilities, and the effective setback area shall be suitably landscaped. This shall not prohibit ingress and egress points between an access road and the described facilities; Response: A portion of the internal access drive falls within the Low Impact Environment. Existing maintenance sheds within the Low Impact Environment of the shoreline are being removed as part of the new construction. 3. Parking, loading, and storage facilities shall be appropriately screened from the river with: a. A solid evergreen screen of a minimum six -foot height, or b. Decorative fence six feet high. (Note: Chain link fence shall be slatted and planted with ivy or other trailing vine except where a safety hazard may exist.), or c. Large hardy shade or fruit trees such as maple, alder, poplar, cottonwood, sycamore, willow, oak, beech, walnut, ash, birch or other species approved by the Director at a maximum of 30 feet on center, or c: \mydocs\ Foster Golf Course \\shorclinc -staff rpt.doc 12 L02 -044: Foster Golf Links Clubhouse and Parking Lot Shoreline Substantial Development Permit d., Earth berms at a minimum of four feet high, suitably planted with live groundcover or natural grass; Response: The applicant will be required to use some of the replacement trees to screen the new parking areas to the east of the historic maple tree. 4. Railroad lead trackage shall be no closer than 15 feet to parking/loading and storage facilities, and shall be suitably landscaped. Response: This criteria is not applicable. 4. COMMENTS: Comments were received during the Notice of Application period from a user of the Green River Trail expressing concern about construction disrupting the use of the Trail. These concerns were addressed in the SEPA staff report and a condition applied through SEPA. A copy of the comment letter is attached. A second comment was received from a resident in the single family residential area to the north regarding the removal of the Windrow trees. The resident requested that these trees be retained. The Tukwila Tree Ordinance permits the removal of these trees, however, replacement trees are required for trees removed in the Low Impact Environment. Approximately 32 replacement trees will be required based on the sizes of the trees indicated on the tree cutting plan. In addition, enhancement of the river bank in the vicinity of the historic maple tree and the enlarged retention/bioswale will be required to improve the habitat value of the vegetation in the shoreline. Copies of the two comments received are included in Attachment A. 5. SEPA: A determination of non - significance, mitigated was issued on November 19, 2002. The appeal period closed on December 11, 2002. A copy of the SEPA determination and staff report are attached (Attachment B). Comments were received during the comment period on the MDNS providing information and /or opinions related to the proposed removal of the trees in the vicinity of the George Eddy house. Several comments expressed concerns about the potential impact of tree removal on wildlife habitat, including that of federally listed salmonids and the marbeled murrelet also federally listed as "threatened." To address these issues, the applicant retained a qualified independent consultant to review habitat concerns. The applicant hired Adolfson and Associates to prepare an analysis of the concerns raised. A copy of the report prepared by Adolfson is attached as part of Attachment B. After reviewing the comments received and the Adolfson report, the Director of the Department concluded that the MDNS should be retained. A copy of the Director's memorandum reconsidering the SEPA determination also is included as Attachment B. c: \mydocs \roster Golf Course \\shoreline - staff rpt.doc 13 z Q• w lY 2 -JU 00 UD cn w J F=-- � u_ w u_ ? = W z � zI- LL" u i U D O I— w W u.

The project site is located on property owned by the City and developed as a golf course since 1925. The site is designated Commercial /Light Industrial and Low Density Residential on the Comprehensive Plan map and zoned Commercial /Light Industrial and Low Density Residential. The proposed project is consistent with the land use and zoning designations. 2. The proposed use, a golf course clubhouse with associated restaurant, lounge, pro - shop, cart rental, meeting rooms and maintenance facilities, is consistent with adjacent land uses. These uses consist of single family residential across the river on the northeast, a rendering plant across the river on the east, and multifamily residential across Interurban Avenue South on the west along with a METRO park and ride facility. The Green River borders the golf course site on three sides. 3. The project will promote economic development in the City and will not interfere with the navigation of the Green River. 4. There is the potential of culturally significant features on the site. An Archaeological Resources and Traditional Cultural Places Assessment has been prepared and implementation of the recommendations of this study are requirements of SEPA. Development of the site will not interfere with the aquatic habitat and spawning grounds found in the Green River or the habitat of the marbeled murrelet, a threatened species. The analysis prepared by Adolfson and Associates confirms this conclusion. 5. Public access is available on the north of the site. Users of the golf course have visual access to the river. The Green River Trail, which meanders back and forth on either side of the river from Auburn north through the City of Tukwila runs along Interurban Avenue South along this portion of the river to prevent conflicts between Trail users and golfers. 6. The project is consistent with the General Shoreline Regulations set forth in TMC 18.44.110: A. The use is in conformance with the regulations of the underlying zone district and the use is consistent with the goals and policies of the City's adopted Shoreline Management Program. B. No structures or accessory facilities will be located over the river; C. The project will not disrupt existing trees or vegetation within the River environment. No cottonwood trees within the river environment or low impact environment will be removed. Other significant trees will be removed from the Low Impact Environment and will be replaced as required by TMC 18.54, the City's Tree Ordinance. A certified arborist evaluated the condition of the trees to be removed and determined that they should be removed. D. No effluent will be discharged into the Green River; storm water will be discharged into the existing retention/bioswale that will be enlarged to handle the additional runoff. Silt fences and siltation control ponds will be used to control storm water prior to discharge into the existing drainage structures. E. All state and federal water quality regulations shall be strictly complied with. c: \mydocs \Foster Golf Course \\shoreline -staff ipt.doc 14 L02 -044: Foster Golf Links Clubhouse and Parking Lot Shoreline Substantial Development Permit F. Wildlife habitat in and along the river will not be disturbed by the construction of this project. Wildlife habitat along the river will be improved by restoration of native vegetation along the portion of the riverbank that is adjacent to the historic maple tree. G. All necessary permits will be obtained for this project. H. No dredging or mining will occur with the project. I. The site is already publicly owned by the City of Tukwila. J. No landfilling is proposed within the river channel. 7. The project is consistent with the requirements of TMC 18.44.130, River Environment. 8. The project is consistent with the requirements of TMC 18.44.140, Low Impact Environment. A. The structure is sited according to the Commercial /Light Industrial and Low Impact Residential zones in which it is located. Landscaping will be provided according to the requirements of these zones. B. Parking, loading and storage facilities will be screened from the river in the following ways: the replacement trees required for the removal of the redwood and blue spruce trees in the Low Impact Environment will be planted to screen the revised parking to the east of the historic maple tree. C. No railroad tracks serve the site. 9. Comments were received from a user of the Green River Trail. Issues raised by these comments were addressed in the SEPA staff report. Comments were also received from a resident objecting to removal of trees in the Low Impact Environment of the shoreline as well as outside the shoreline. Tree removal is permitted under the City's Tree Ordinance if replacement trees are provided. 10. A determination of non - significance, mitigated was issued on November 19, 2002; the comment period ended on December 11, 2002. Additional comments were received during the comment period on the MDNS raising concerns about the impact of tree removal on wildlife habitat, including that of federally listed salmonids and the marbeled murrelet. These comments were reviewed by an independent contractor and an analysis prepared on the issues raised. The issuance of the MDNS was affirmed by the Director of the Department of Community Development on December 6, 2002. 6. RECOMMENDATION Approve the shoreline substantial development permit with the following conditions: 1. The revised parking area to the east of the historic maple tree must be screened from the river using some of the replacement trees required by TMC 18.54 as noted on Attachment E. 2. The riverbank adjacent to the historic maple tree and the enlarged retention/bioswale must be enhanced to remove invasive species of vegetation and planted with native species. These areas are noted on Attachment E. c: \mydocs \Foster Golf Course \\shoreline -staff rpt.doc 15 migivoialue Allow aoo g - ti Uiv l0% -v 61213 NmOIIS SV NOLLVIYllOdNI 1VVIIs10 'V NV'Id 1115 50/00/90 %v0 SS solo 90106 V.11k1�5 9'98l 'us 0080 untie away Amy /um% B ell .40 ayeag.wa.l 0016105 905 99196 3'^'S'FY111^.".

Gilles 4 2 5— 8 2 2 — 4 9 9 4 It was pointed out to me today that I made an error in my report of the Blue Spruce and Coast Redwood trees dated November 20, 2002. The error was in the Executive Summary on Page One of the report, and the Summary /Conclusions section at the bottom of Page Two. These two sections should have the same trees noted as good, fair, and poor as on Attachment 1, Tree Inventory/Condition Spreadsheet, Page Four of Nine of the November 20, 2002 report. The Executive Summary should read as follows: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Trees #3 and 4 are Blue Spruce and trees #5 through 12 are Redwood. Trees #3, 4, 5 and 6 are in poor condition and will not survive long -term. Trees 9, 10, 11, and 12 are in poor to fair condition. Trees 7 and 8 are in good condition. However, all of the Redwood trees have suffered significant root loss during the construction of the parking lots and retaining wall. The resultant damage often causes significant root rot that can take decades to manifest itself. Given the genetics of these trees that grow to such immense size, I recommend that all ten of these trees be removed. The Summary /Conclusions should read as follows: SUMMARY /CONCLUSIONS: Trees 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are in poor or fair condition. Trees 7 and 8 are in good condition. It is obvious, however, that large roots were cut and damaged at some time in the past to install the parking lot and retaining wall. Coast Redwood trees are the largest trees in North America and can grow for thousands of years in their native habitats where they have extensive root systems. Leaving these giant trees in such a small planter may be inviting catastrophic failure in the future due to lack of adequate root space and the Fax: 425 -822 -6 E —mail: bkgille 12823 NE 107th 1 ATTACHMENT A p.2 Dec 11 02 05:13p Bri Gilles root rot caused from previous construction damage. Therefore, I recommend removal of all ten trees. SITE PLAN: Also attached is copy of the site plan with the trees numbered. WAIVER OF LIABILITY: There are many conditions affecting a tree's health and stability which may be present and cannot be ascertained, such as, root rot, previous or unexposed construction damage, internal cracks, stem rot and more which may be hidden. Changes in circumstances and conditions can also cause a rapid deterioration of a tree's health and stability. While I have used every reasonable means to examine these trees, this evaluation represents my opinion of the tree health at this point in time.

METHODOLOGY: To evaluate the tree and to prepare the report, I drew upon my 20+ years of experience in the field and my formal education in Natural Resources Management, Dendrology, Forest Ecology, Plant Identification, and Plant Physiology. I also followed the protocol of the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) for Hazard Tree Assessment while looking at the overall health of the tree and the site conditions. This is a scientifically based process to look at the entire site, the surrounding land and the soil, as well as a complete look at the trees themselves. In examining the tree, I looked at such factors as: size, vigor, crown ratio and class, density of needles, injury, insect activity, root damage and root collar health, crown health, evidence of disease causing bacteria, fungi or virus, dead wood and hanging limbs. While no one can predict with absolute certainty which trees will or will not fall, we can, by using this scientific process, assess which trees are most likely to fail and take appropriate action to minimize injury and damage. GENERAL SITE NOTES: The Foster Memorial Tree is a beautiful Big Leaf Maple, Acer macrophyllum tree planted July 4, 1873 by Joseph Foster. It is located between Interurban Avenue South and the Green River in the Foster Golf Links in a small patch of lawn with two other trees and some shrubs. The lawn area is just north of the existing house, which is scheduled for demolition. This lawn area is bordered on the west by an existing parking lot that is slightly higher in elevation than the lawn itself. There is an access road thatcurves around the lawn area to the north and east. OBSERVATIONS: • The tree is currently 61.7 inches in diameter measured at the standard 4.5 feet above the ground. • The tree is 82 feet tall (measured with a clinometer.) • The canopy: o The shape of the canopy is generally symmetrical in shape and weight distribution around the trunks. o The foliage is dense for the species indicating a high level of vigor. o The crown, the top 10 to 15% of the canopy, is healthy and strong. This also indicates a high level of health and vigor. • The trunk is typical for the species: o The trunk forks into two large trunks 12 to 14 feet above the ground. o The two trunks were previously topped at 24 and 28 feet. Foster Memorial Tree Tree Protection Plan November 14, 2002 Page 3of12 o New scaffold branches have developed from the trunks below the topping wounds. o Rot has developed in the trunks below the topping cuts and extends down into the main trunk. ■ With the use of binoculars I observed the main trunks and major branches. No insect infestations or woodpecker activity was observed. = z • The tree appears to have adequate solid wood to support itself at ix 2 this time and has the potential to survive one or more decades into the future. o o o The root collar has no apparent defects, no apparent fungal or bacterial c a n w LU infections, and no observable insect infestations. GENERAL HEALTH CONCLUSIONS: w o The tree is in good health and structure considering its age and poor pruning of the past. The tree has potentially many decades of life left and is worthy of extra c effort to maintain it during expansion of the parking lots and other improvements w planned for the golf course. z 1--0 zt- w TREE PROTECTION MEASURES: 2 o In order for trees to survive the stresses placed upon them in the construction process, p N tree protection must be planned in advance of equipment arrival on site. If tree protection Di- is not planned integral with the design and layout of the project, the trees will suffer i v needlessly and will possibly die. With proper preparation, often adding little or nothing ii_ o extra to the project budget, trees can survive and thrive after construction. This is critical iii z co for tree survival because damage prevention is the single most effective treatment for 0 trees on construction sites. Once trees are damaged, the available treatment options are p /- limited: Z The following minimum Tree Protection Measures are included on three separate sheets so that they can be copied and introduced into all relevant documents such as site plans, permit applications and conditions of approval, and bid documents so that everyone involved is aware of the requirements. To be effective, these measures must be understood by all involved in the project from the project manager, to the on site construction supervisor, down to every single equipment operator who will be operating equipment in the vicinity of the tree. The Tree Protection Fence installation, the trenching and root pruning, and the removal of the current asphalt must be overseen by an experienced ISA Certified Arborist to ensure the tree's continued long -term health. Foster Memorial Tree Tree Protection Plan November 14, 2002 Page 4 of 12 Foster Memorial Tree Tree Protection Plan November 14, 2002 Page 5 of 12 TREE PROTECTION MEASURES: • Tree Protection Fences will need to be placed around the tree. • Tree Protection Fences are to be placed according to the attached drawing. • Tree Protection Fences must be inspected by both the City Parks representative and the Consulting Arborist prior to the beginning of any construction work activities. • Nothing must be parked or stored within the Tree Protection Fences —no equipment, vehicles, soil, debris, or construction supplies of any sorts. • No burning is to be allowed within the Tree Protection Zone, under the dripline of any retained trees, or within 30 feet of the Tree Protection Fences. • Cement trucks must not be allowed to deposit waste or wash out materials from their trucks within the Tree Protection Fences. • The Tree Protection Fences need to be clearly marked with the following or similar text: This portion to be done in four -inch or larger letters: o "TREE PROTECTION FENCE DO NOT ENTER THIS AREA DO NOT PARK OR STORE MATERIALS WITHIN THE PROTECTION AREA" This portion to be done in three -inch letters: "This tree has been valued at $27,600.00. Any damage done to the tree or roots will cause a fine to be levied upon the perpetrator of the damage commensurate with the level of damage. Any questions, call Brian K. Gilles at Gilles Consulting @ 425 - 417 - 0850" • The area within the Tree Protection Fencing must be covered with wood chips, hog fuel, or similar materials to a depth of 8 to 10 inches. The materials should be placed prior to beginning construction and remain until the Tree Protection Fencing is taken down at the end of the project during final landscaping. • A drip irrigation system must be installed in order to prevent the stress of construction from negatively impacting the tree. o Irrigation water must not be allowed to strike the trunk or base of the tree. o Tree should be watered once every 14 to 21 days. Water penetration must reach to a depth of 14 to 18 inches. Once this depth of water penetration is achieved, the area should be allowed to dry out for 14 to 21 days. • When excavation or fill occurs near the, this includes the demolition of the existing house, the removal of the existing parking lot and roadway, the installation of any utilities within 10 feet of the tree protection fencing, removal of trees near the Foster Memorial Tree, or any other construction activities required, the following procedure must be followed to protect the long term survivability of the tree: o An International Society of Arboriculture, (ISA) Certified Arborist must be working with all equipment operators. o The Certified Arborist should be outfitted with a shovel, hand pruners, a pair of loppers, a handsaw, and a power saw (a "sawsall" is recommended). o When any roots of one inch diameter or greater, of the tree to be retained, is struck by the equipment, the Certified Arborist should stop the equipment operator. o The Certified Arborist should then excavate around the tree root by hand/shovel and cleanly cut the tree root. o The Certified Arborist should then instruct the equipment operator to continue. o Boring under the root systems of the trees (and other vegetation) can be considered for utility installation. All work must be done under the direct supervision of an ISA Certified Arborist. This is to be accomplished by excavating a limited trench or pit on each side of the critical root zone of the tree and then hand digging or pushing the pipe through the soil under the tree. The closest pit walls shall be a minimum of 7 feet from the center of the tree and shall be sufficient depth to lay the pipe at the grade as shown on the plan and profile. o Tunneling under the roots of trees shall be done under the supervision of an ISA Certified Arborist in an open trench by carefully excavating and hand digging around areas where large roots are exposed. No roots 1 inch in diameter or larger shall be cut. o The contractor shall verify the vertical and horizontal location of existing utilities to avoid conflicts and maintain minimum clearances; adjustment shall be made to the grade of any new utility as required. • Demolition of existing house: o It is my judgment that the house can be demolished and hauled away without any impacts on the Foster Memorial Tree if the following measures are precisely followed and if the Project Consulting Arborist is on site during the demolition. o When the house is demolished, placement of equipment and trucks is important to protect the tree. Track hoes and other large equipment shall Foster Memorial Tree Tree Protection Plan November 14, 2002 Page 6 of 12 V e e, NFL be placed in accordance with the specifications given by the Consulting Arborist who will be on site present during all the demolition and hauling away of the house. o Specifically, the equipment will be placed on the east and west sides of the house and south of the house. o All work will be done working from the south in such a manner that the boom or bucket will not come into contact with the canopy of the tree. _ z re 6 • Removal of the gravel driveway at the base of the tree, within the dripline, should -J be done by hand under the direct supervision of the Project Consulting Arborist. U o o Work will consist of removing the gravel with hand tools and replacing cn w LLI the gravel with aged compost. N w 0 • Removal of the Port Orford Cedar, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana tree west of the Foster Memorial Tree will be done by the following procedure: g o The lower branches will be cut off to a height of at least 12 feet. N a o This will allow room for a small ditch witch, not a hoe mounted unit but = w the smallest self propelled model available, to be utilized to trench a swath z as close to the base of the Cedar tree as possible to a depth of 42 inches. z o o The Consulting Arborist will be on site to supervise this work and to w w provide root - pruning services as noted above. 0 o 0 ■ If the large Rhododendron, located 42 feet south and slightly east of the Foster ° F= w Memorial Tree is to be removed rather than preserved in its current location, a v similar process must be followed. u. o o The only difference is that the trench shall only be 8 to 10 inches deep. w o No other equipment is to be used to remove the large shrub. Other than the trencher, all work must be done by hand under the supervision of the z Consulting Arborist. • The critical root zone of the tree must be injected with a combination of beneficial mycorrhizal fungi and tree based fertilizer. o Mychorrhizal fungi are naturally occurring beneficial fungi that form a symbiotic relationship with the tree roots that improve the tree's ability to absorb water and nutrients significantly. This will promote healthy root growth, which generally results in a healthier tree. o Trees have different nutritional needs than turf or shrubs. Lawn fertilizer can actually cause harm to trees — especially trees under stress. Tree based fertilizers are formulated specifically to meet the nutritional needs of trees. This is especially important in old Maple trees that can be harmed from excess nitrogen. o This injection can occur this fall prior to the installation of the 8 to 10 inches of mulch, or can be done sometime between late March or April 2003. Foster Memorial Tree Tree Protection Plan November 14, 2002 Page 7 of 12 1. 0 Significant Existing Tree Continuous chainlink 7 Fencing Post @ Max 10" O.C. Install as shown on plans a minimum of 5 feet outside dripline of tree(s) Six -foot high temporary chainlink fence shall be placed as shown on plans. Fence shall completely encircle tree. Install fence posts using pier • blocks only. Avoid driving posts or stakes into major roots. 2. An experienced ISA Certified Arborist must be present during any construction activities near the tree including: removal of asphalt, demolition of the house, removal of adjacent trees, grading or filling. 3. Work with the protection fencing shall be done manually. No stockpiling of materials, soil, debris, vehicle traffic, or storage of equipment or machinery shall be allowed within the limit of the fencing. 4. Cement trucks must not be allowed to deposit waste or wash out materials from their trucks within the Tree Protection Fences. 5. The area within the Tree Protection Fencing must be covered with wood chips, hog fuel, or similar materials to a depth of 8 to 10 inches. The materials should be placed prior to beginning construction and remain until the Tree Protection Fencing is taken down.

Foster Memorial Tree Tree Protection Plan November 14, 2002 Page 12 of 12 November 20, 2002 Rick Still, Assistant Director Tukwila Parks and Recreation 12424 42' Avenue South Tukwila, WA 98168 SUBJECT: EVALUATION OF LARGE PORT ORFORD CEDAR TREE AT FOSTER GOLF LINKS Dear Mr. Still: Gilles Cc suiting Brian K. Gilles 4 2 5- 8 2 2 - 4 9 9 4 As you requested, while at the Foster Golf Links site on November 1, 2002, I also evaluated the large Port Orford Cedar tree that is just to the southwest of the Foster Memorial Tree. Specifically you asked me to evaluate the tree for health and structure and to inform you if its condition warranted retention during your upcoming expansion/development project. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The tree is in good health and vigor. There is included bark between the trunks from the ground up four feet. This potentially weak structure can cause failure during severe adverse weather events. If left alone, the tree could survive for several more decades. The tree has a 60 to 65% chance of long term survival of the construction is limited to the current boundaries of the existing parking lot and access road. An additional factor to consider, however, is that, while the Port Orford cedar is healthy, it is competing with the Foster Memorial tree for resources such as water, nutrients, sunlight, and canopy space. Removal of the cedar will improve the long -term health of the Foster Memorial tree, as long as the tree protection measures that are delineated in my previous report, dated November 14, 2002, are followed to protect the Foster Memorial Tree from damage. METHODOLOGY: To evaluate the tree and to prepare the report, I drew upon my 20+ years of experience in the field and my formal education in Natural Resources Management, Dendrology, Forest Ecology, Plant Identification, and Plant Physiology. I also followed the protocol of the Fax: 425-822-6314 E -mail: bkgilles @aol.com 12823 NE 107th Place Kirkland, WA 98033 International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) for Hazard Tree Assessment while looking at the overall health of the tree and the site conditions. This is a scientifically based process to look at the entire site, the surrounding land and the soil, as well as a complete look at the trees themselves. In examining the tree, I looked at such factors as: size, vigor, crown ratio and class, density of needles, injury, insect activity, root damage and root collar health, crown health, evidence of disease causing bacteria, fungi or virus, dead wood and hanging limbs. While no one can predict with absolute certainty which trees will or will not fail, we can, by using this scientific process, assess which trees are most likely to fail and take appropriate action to minimize injury and damage. The tree was tagged and numbered tree #2. The tag is made of shiny aluminum, approximately l inch by 3 inches in size, and is attached to the tree with a short galvanized nail. The use of galvanized nails was to minimize rusting and streaking. Short nails were used so that they would not penetrate through the bark into the vascular cambium and potentially introduce pathogens. The tag was placed as high as possible to minimize its removal. The tag was placed on the backside of the tree as inconspicuously as possible so as to not draw attention. GENERAL SITE NOTES: The tree is located between Interurban Avenue South and the Green River in the Foster Golf Linksin a small patch of lawn with two other trees and some shrubs. The lawn area is just north of the existing house, which is scheduled for demolition. The lawn area is bordered on the west by an existing parking lot that is slightly higher in elevation than the lawn itself. There is an access road the curves around the lawn area to the north and east. The Foster Memorial Tree is located just 38 feet away. There is a small shrub hedge between the Cedar tree and the parking lot that is four feet to the west. OBSERVATIONS: • The tree is a Port Orford Cedar, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana that is forked at four feet above the ground. The trunk diameters, measured the standard 4.5 feet above the ground are 10.5, 25.7, and 22.3 inches in diameter. • The canopy: o The shape of the canopy is generally symmetrical in shape and weight distribution around the trunks. o The foliage is dense for the species indicating a high level of vigor. o The live canopy is approximately 95% of the entire tree height indicating good health and vigor. o The crown, the top 10 to 1 5% of the canopy, is healthy and strong. This also indicates a high level of health and vigor.

COMMENTS RECEIVED During the comment period I have received and reviewed the following communications (copies attached): Each of these communications provide information and/or opinions related to the proposed removal of trees in the vicinity of the George Eddy house in the northeastern portion of the project site. E -mails number 1, 2 and 4 express concern about the potential impact of tree removal on wildlife habitat, including that of federally listed salmonids and the marbled murrelet, also federally listed as "threatened." Communications number 5 through 7 express similar concerns. Communication number 8 expresses concern that the project proposal has "the potential to cause adverse impacts to salmonid habitat with inadequate mitigation." It suggests that the existing trees are "more likely to recruit into the Green River sooner than the [proposed] replacement \ \TUK2 \VOL3\HOME\ STEVE \STEVE\DEVEL \FosterGCW indrow021205.doc Page : trees" and recommends that the project be modified to require wood to be placed in the Green River as mitigation. EVALUATION Based upon these comments I requested that the applicant retain a qualified independent consultant to review habitat concerns, particularly as they relate to federally listed species, and report their findings. The applicant retained Adolfson Associates of Seattle, Washington. This office received their report on December 6, 2002 (copy attached). The report consists of a letter from Adolfson Senior Scientist Benn Burke to Tukwila Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Rick Still, dated December 6, 2002, with attachments. Attachments include a Salmonid Technical Memo and a Marbled Murrelet Technical Memo, both dated December 6, 2002. In summary of his analysis and findings, Mr. Burke offers the following opinions (paraphrased): • Removal of the subject trees would not result in the unmitigated loss of unique habitat types or diversity within the City. • It is not reasonable to assume that marbled murrelets would utilize the subject trees, or any other tree, at the golf course as nesting habitat. These trees do not meet the habitat preferences of nesting marbled murrelets. • Removal of the subject trees would not result in an unmitigated loss of forage opportunities for juvenile salmonids. • The subject trees are not tall enough nor near enough the river to contribute woody debris naturally. It is unlikely the subject trees are healthy enough to grow to a height where they might eventually contribute woody debris. Proposed replacement trees have a higher chance of providing large woody debris in the long term due to their closer proximity to the river. • The proposed action will not result in a permanent loss of riparian forest and will not result in the loss of trees that one could expect to grow and recruit into the river. • The proposed action will not result in unmitigated adverse impacts to federally listed fish species. CONCLUSION Upon reconsideration of MDNS E02 -020 based upon comments received and the Adolfson Associates analysis, I have concluded that the MDNS shall be retained.

That stand of trees is unique with in the lower Duwamish Estuary and provides a diversity in large species that is not found anywhere else in this area. The redwoods provide a specific habitat type and their proximity to the river makes them rather important to local and migratory species, including Federally listed salmonids. I would like to see an alternative parking plan developed that preserves these trees as well as some of the other mature on site trees. In addition, I believe that these trees are an asset to the site and provide a pleasant, individualized character that is worth preserving.

I would like to point out that marbled murrelets Brachyramphus marmoratus another Federally listed species (Threatened, Federal ESA in 1992) uses redwood trees for nesting. Since they have a presence within greater Puget Sound, one would be able to reasonable presume that the potential for nesting behavior by this bird could occur at the golf course. Certainly, since they are drawn to this habitat type, I would expect at least an occasional seasonal presence much in the same way that there is an occasional bull trout occurance in the lower Duwamish. The issue of the distance of the trees from the river where this threatened species concerned is moot. The proximity of these redwoods to the river has little bearing on murrelets use as they will fly over 40 miles (sometimes much more) from their feeding areas to utilize trees like these. In addition to this, the trees provide insect food source for juvenile salmonids as well as habitat for other local species as I mentioned previously. I've attached a photo below as well as a few web pages for your review. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Ryan http://www.nps.gov/mora/ncrd/murrelet.htm http: / /www.spruceroots.orq /Murrelet.html http:// www. cws- scf. ec.gc.ca /hww- fap /hww- fap.cfm ?ID species= 27 &lanq =e Carol Lumb - Foster Tree Page 1 From: Tom Pulford To: Lumb, Carol Date: 11/27/02 2:23PM Subject: Foster Tree Thanks for info on the tree assessment. Very thorough and in keeping with a good arborist. sorry to see the redwoods to go. most will out last the new clubhouse given its forty year life. would be good to have replacement for character and wildlife cover but difficult to maintain in golf setting(maintenance) and parking lot due to room for large trees. Perhaps it maybe more appropriate to plant a mitigating grove close to the river to act as habitat for animal vs a habitat for cars. I still am a little concerned that the tree removal issues, site layout and the amount of grading are not shown together. You may have better documentation than I have had the opportunity to review. The arborist may not be aware of the amount of grading and drainage changes through that Foster Tree area. The arborist may not visualize that the new double lane road appears to be within the drip line of the Foster Tree. He may need to address if and if so how this additional paving and root compaction can be mitigated as well as to address the long term maintenance to encourage viability. An accurate depiction of the drip line on the grading and site layout plan would be a good start. I am delighted to read that the Foster Tree is in a good condition as he indicates, this is spite of having a previous tree topping and years of a gravel road at its base. I believe he is a little conservative on the replacement value and perhaps he is not aware of the "cloud on the land title" that if were are to cause the untimely death of this tree, the .93 acre knoll reverts to the heirs. Carol Lumb - Foster Golf Trees From: Ryan Partee To: Jim Morrow Date: 1213/02 3:48PM Subject: Foster Golf Trees Jim, I have read through Brian Gilles reports concerning the Trees at Foster Golf. Here are my comments on his documents as well as some editorial comments. While Mr. Gilles reports are well done, I would be curious in hearing his suggestions as to what could be done to conserve and rehabilitate these trees.(i.e. asphalt removal, soils rehabilitation, mychorrhizal fungal and tree based fertilizer soil injection). The reports center on defining the trees current status and recommending them for removal. I am of the opinion that we have a unique chance to preserve and help these trees recover. The port orford cedar and the Foster Memorial Tree In the reports produced by Mr. Gilles, he states that each of these trees is in good health. Given the size and age of each, I would expect each of these trees to outlive the design life of the new clubhouse (50+ years). I would like to point out that both the Foster Memorial Tree (Big Leaf Maple, Acer macrophyllum) and the port orford cedar Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, are well established, mature trees. While I would agree that there is some root competition between these trees, this is a long- standing competition, which does not appear to be fundamentally detrimental to either tree. Root competition is natural and expected, but is not immediately life threatening to either tree in my opinion. What is of greater concern for the welfare of both these trees is the surrounding asphalt and compacted soils. Part of this root competition between these trees is caused simply by their proximity to each other. However, the main reason for this is that the cedar does not have suitable soils to the west, and therefore concentrates its rooting efforts to the east where it inevitably must compete with the maple. If the asphalt to the west of the cedar tree was removed and the soils re- worked as in the case of the gravel driveway removal, both trees would benefit. This would allow both trees to continue to coexist since each would be afforded the opportunity for a greater root zone area from which to draw resources. This of course would also apply to the other . parking lot trees slated for removal. I disagree with his recommendation to remove the port orford cedar. Parking lot access road around the Foster Memorial Tree... The layout for the new paved access road around the foster memorial tree does not conform to City of Tukwila Code.18.44.130.B.1: "B. River environment uses shall conform to the following standards: 1. Access roads, parking or storage areas, the closest edge of which shall be a minimum of 40 feet from the mean high water mark ;" The new access road encroaches into this 40 -foot management zone as well as the dripline of the Foster Memorial Tree (attachement). Reconstruction of the existing road would further serve to compact the soil surrounding the tree and most likely have a detrimental impact on what roots have penetrated under this Page 1 z '~ w • 1 6 U O 0 U) 0 cn J H w O J L1 j u O -±* ▪ w Z = z I- O - U2 , o ff w W u- w z • = O I • z Carol Lumb - Foster Gol rees Page 2 area. This certainly could effect its longevity. Tree removal in general... What appears to be the limiting factor on all of the trees discussed in Mr. Gilles reports is the previously allowed parking lot construction (pavement), site development and former tree maintenance practices. I am truly amazed that the mature trees within the existing parking area are doing as well as they are given these growing conditions and their previous treatment. As a Biologist I have a strong objection to the removal of the redwoods and cedar located in the north end of the existing parking lot. That stand of trees is unique within the lower Duwamish Estuary and provides a distinct diversity in coniferous species that is not found anywhere else along the river corridor within Tukwila. The redwoods and the port orford cedar, provide a specific habitat type and their proximity to the river makes them rather important to local and migratory species, including Federally listed satmonids (chinook salmon and bull trout). These trees may also benefit another Federally listed species, the marbled murrelet Brachyramphus marmoratus. Marbled murrelets are known to use redwood trees (and other mature coniferous trees) for nesting. Since they have a presence within greater Puget Sound, one would be able to reasonably presume that the potential for nesting behavior by this bird could occur at the golf course. Certainly, since they are drawn to this habitat type, I would suspect that there might be at least an occasional presence much in the same way that there is an occasional bull trout occurrence in the lower Duwamish. The issue of the distance of the trees from the river where this threatened species concerned is moot. The proximity of these redwoods to the river has little bearing for murrelets as they will fly over 40 miles (sometimes much more) from their feeding areas to utilize trees like these. Although the likely hood that murrelets would utilize these trees in any fasion is slim, the potential does exist. In addition to this, the trees provide insect food source for juvenile salmonids as well as habitat for other local species despite the fact that most of the trees are over 200 ft from the OHWM. Perhaps what is most puzzling about this project is that for whatever the reason, (political, economical, sight line from Interurban) I have seen no attempt to design the site improvements to accommodate the parking lot trees proposed for removal. It is true that most all of the trees are outside the 200 -foot shoreline management area and as such, have little in the way of regulations to protect them. It is also true that there is no City regulation that would stop the trees from being cut down. The tree cutting is left to the discretion of the developer, which in this case is us. From what I understand, Tukwila was the 4th City in the United States to obtain an accredited Backyard Wildlife Habitat Certification. This certification was received in May of 2002 and was acknowledged by U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell who sent along her congratulations saying. "By receiving this distinctive honor, the City of Tukwila has become a leader in our region by creating a model for protecting wildlife right in our own backyards. Tukwila has shown that developing a community habitat is something all local residents can work toward with a sense of accomplishment and pride. Protecting the environment has always been one my top priorities. I applaud the Tukwila Wildlife Habitat Project and residents of Tukwila for partnering with the National Wildlife Federation to make environmental protection one of your priorities." Pam Linder is also a member of the Backyard Wildlife Habitat Program and has been a supporter of that project from its start in 1999. Taking down these trees without examining the options for their preservation is simply negligent and irresponsible. We owe it to our citizens to do whatever is necessary to conserve these trees.

While I am not a resident of Tukwila (I live in Burien), I was an active member in Tukwila's Backyard Wildlife Habitat Committee and learned a great deal about the importance of large trees to the urban environment. They absorb pollutants, mitigate storm water runoff, cool an area when it's hot, keep an area warm when it's cold, provide possible nesting sites for threatened /endangered high- nesting birds (eagles, marbled murrelets, osprey, heron), and take decades if not centuries to replace. I urge you to reconsider your decision about this action. A reply would be appreciated.

Large trees such as these are an invaluable resource for wildlife. Of all the things we can do for wildlife preserving large trees is the most important because it takes so long to replace them. As a member of the Tukwila Wildlife Habitat committee I thought Tukwila was going to become a leader in preserving wildlife habitat when we became certified as a wildlife community. I would hate to see Tukwila go back to a policy of removing habitat when it gets in the way. Habitat has to be a top priority. I would gladly help in developing an alternative plan that would preserve this habitat.

We trust that the city will scrutinize this issue closely; we hope that you will decide not to cut down the trees. Tukwila is fast loosing large portions of it's wooded areas and other wildlife habitat to development and factors such as the Citrus Longhorned Beetle. Tukwila was recently recognized as the first National Wildlife Habitat Community in Washington state. We would hate to see the city make such a short- sighted decision as to cut down these trees which provide significant habitat. Old, large trees such as these cannot be easily replaced. Simply planting other trees does not replace the habitat that is lost when an old tree is destroyed. DEC 05 '02 11 : 24AM TUKGWILA DCD/PW Steve Lancaster Responsible Qmicial City of Tukwila 6300 Soutbcenter Boulevard Tukwila, WA 98188 RE; Foster Golf Course MDNS E02 -020 Dear Mr_ Lancaster; The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Fisheries Department has reviewed the Mitigated ]determination of Non - Signifitanee (MDNS) for the proposed modifications to the 'Foster Golf Course, located along the Green River. This project is within the Tribe's Usual and Accustomed Fishing Area We are sending these comments in theinterest of protecting and restoring the Tribe's treaty- protected resources. The proposed modifications to the existing golf cauxse include, but are not limited to, expansion of the • parking lot, increasing the current stormwater system, and removing trees along the Green River. As proposed in the MDNS, these three activities have the potegtial to cause adverse: impacts to salmonid habitat. Withinadequate mitigation. For example, the SEPA review notes that 32 replacement trees will be "- required for the removal of cedar aces that are 50+ years image along the Green River. While the size of replacement trees are not specified in the MDNS, it is unlikely that they will,be equivalent in height and/or diameter to 50+ year -old trees. The trees to be removed are older; therefore, they are more llkc1y to recruit into the Green River sooner than the replacement trees. Therefore, the project sboiilcl.be modifted by requiring wood to be place into the Green River of sufficient size and nu mber.•to mitigate for the loss of, large cedar tree removal The amount of wood needed depends on the temporal extent of the,project impacts. These impacts depend in part on how many trees are removed for what aspects of the project to discern shorter and long term impacts. For example, some trees may be removed due to a reconfiguration C.9 of a golf green and could be =vegetated, whereas the parking lot will cause a permanent loss. of riparian vegetation and is in an area that one couldexpect trees to gro;W and recruit into,the•.Green River. The parking lot, as noted above, is within the riparian zone of the Green River where trees could recruit to the River. The portion of the parking lot that is in this zone should be relocated and revegetated to allow for trees to grow and recruit into the River in the future. We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this proposal. If you have any questions, please contact me . at (253) 939 -3311, extension 116.

( Adolfson) is pleased to provide a review and response to seven comments from two sources received regarding the Mitigated Determination of Non Significance (MDNS) issued by the City for Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Project. Our investigation included a site visit on December 5, 2002 and a review of literature regarding potential fish and wildlife use in the vicinity of the Foster Golf Links. The results of the literature review are provided in the comment responses below and in the attached technical memoranda. A site visit was conducted on December 4, 2002 to observe habitat and evaluate the site - specific conditions. The proposed parking lot expansion occurs partly within the 200 - foot shoreline zone of the Green River. It is our understanding that fifteen trees are proposed for removal in order to facilitate the expansion of the parking area for the Foster Golf Links clubhouse. This includes the removal of a row of coastal redwoods. The proposed parking area is located on a piece of land between the Green River and Interurban Avenue, in Tukwila, Washington. The land is currently.developed, with a house, parking garage, and paved driveway. The paved driveway extends to the top of bank of the Green River, east of the house. The Green River shoreline in this area is vegetated with big leaf maple, black cottonwood, Pacific willow, Douglas fir, western red cedar, Himalayan blackberry, and reed canarygrass. A small, unpaved area remains immediately adjacent to the house, and is planted with a big leaf maple• bearing a plaque stating that it was planted in 1873, as well as two blue spruce trees. In addition, eleven coastal redwoods were planted in a row behind the house. The row of redwoods is located between approximately 90 and 300 feet from the Green River shoreline. The redwoods range in diameter at breast height (dbh) from 28 inches to one individual of 40 inches dbh. These trees are bordered on both sides by developed areas. Immediately to the east, within the drip -line of the trees, is an existing paved parking area and beyond that a sidewalk which abuts Interurban Avenue, a busy, four-lane arterial. Interurban Avenue is developed with residences, housing developments, and commercial businesses. Project Understanding It is our understanding that the City of Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department is proposing to upgrade the existing club house and parking area at the Foster Golf Links.

Some of this work occurs within 200 feet of the top of bank of the Green/Duwamish River. Included in these trees are a row of 10 coastal redwoods (Sequoia sempervirons) (Photo 1), a single redwood surrounded by parking lot and maintained lawn (Photo 2), two paper birch (Betula papyrifera), and two • Colorado blue spruce. Coastal redwoods are a tree species native to the coast range of California and the extreme southwest corner of Oregon (Preston, 1978). Colorado blue spruce are native to the southern Rocky Mountain states. Neither Colorado blue spruce nor redwood are identified as native to the Puget Sound Trough ecoregion (Pojar and MacKinnon, 1994). Paper birch is native to Washington. All of the trees proposed to be removed were planted as landscaping; none are naturally occurring. Comment Responses. The following responses are numbered to correspond to numbers assigned to the comments provided to us by the City (attached). 1. The commenter's assertion that these trees provide a pleasant and individualized character that is worth preserving reflects their personal opinion. Although certainly valid in that context, the commenter also implies that these trees represent a unique or unusual habitat type and that impacts to this unique and unusual habitat type were not adequately addressed within the context of the MDNS. It is my opinion that individual trees, or even small groups of trees planted as landscape amenities, do not compose a "habitat type" as generally described in the literature. The habitat type "Redwood Forest" is described by Franklin and Dyrness (1988) and includes forest dominated by redwoods in climax or late succession stages of growth that occur in limited coastal areas of California and southwestern Oregon. In this context, redwood forests include stands or groups of redwood trees within a wider assemblage of other tree and understory species native to that region and that supports a unique assemblage of plants and animals. In the context of the Foster Golf Links site, .th.e "habitat type" would be characterized as "urban" as described by Ferguson. et al. (2001) in Johnson and O'Neil (2001). The urban habitat type is not unique in Tukwila and this habitat type is of relatively low importance to fish or wildlife compared to any native assemblage including old growth or mature second growth forest with native understory. It is my opinion that the removal of these trees would not result in the unmitigated loss of unique habitat types or diversity within the City. 2. Marbled murrelet is a species of bird listed as threatened under the Federal Endangered Species Act. As described in the attached technical memoranda, marbled murrelets occur in the Puget Sound region and are known to utilize habitat types within 50 miles (or more) of marine areas where they forage. The commenter is correct that native stands of redwood trees are important habitat types for marbled murrelet. These birds do rely heavily on native redwood stand where both trees and birds occur naturally. Redwood trees grow to a size and have a branch configuration that reflects the habitat preference of nesting marbled murrelet (see enclosed technical memoranda). That point established, it is my opinion that the commenter has PAGE 02/19 12/06/2002 11:27 2067899684 ADOLFSON Foster Golf Links Clubhouse .. toject December G, 2002 Page3of6 PAGE 03/19 misinterpreted their source of information and has inferred that marbled murrelets would be somehow drawn to the individual redwood trees at the Foster, Golf Links. Marbled murrelets are fish eaters that forage in marine waters. Aside from providing nesting habitat, redwoods do not provide a food source or other unique attribute that z would draw them to these individual trees. Marbled murrelet that occur in Washington State readily utilize other native species of trees that also grow in such a W way that they provide similarly preferred nesting habitat. As described in the 6 attached technical memoranda, marbled mur;elet in Washington State nest in stands - o of native old growth or mature second growth forest typically removed from urban c w areas. Based in information presented in the scientific literature it is my opinion that it J X is not reasonable to assume, as the commenter states, that marbled murrelets would cn u_ I 0 utilize these trees, or any other tree, at the golf course as nesting habitat. 3. The commenter is correct in their statement that murrelets are know to fly inland for Li. a substantial distances to utilize suitable nesting habitat as described above. They are = also correct that location of these trees in relation to the marine habitat in Puget Z Sound has no bearing on the conclusion that the proposed action will not adversely O affect marbled murrelets. What does have significant bearing, however, is that these w F- trees do not meet the habitat preferences of nesting marbled murrelets, as described in the response to Comment 2. o o� 4. Overhanging riparian vegetation has been shown in the literature to provide a = 0 significant source of food to fish in some riverine systems as a result of insect drop. „o A growing body of literature also supports the presumption that insects can be w z important forage items in lower river systems, estuaries, and even marine o environments. However, it is unlikely that the loss of these trees would result in a o'- measurable decrease in forage for juvenile salmonids in the lower Green!Duwamish z River, as these trees do not overhang the river. Insects dropping from these trees would fall on ground, far removed from the river. Insects could be blown from these trees into the river during periods of excessively high winds, but under these circumstances insects would also be blown into the river from many other trees in the vicinity, including those planted as replacements. It is my opinion.that the removal of these trees would not result in a unmitigated loss of forage opportunities for juvenile salmonids in the lower Green/ Duwamish River. 5. Only five of the 15 trees to be removed occur within 200 feet of the river (see attached photos). None of the trees occur directly adjacent to the top of bank of the river. None of the trees to be removed are currently tall enough to fall and land directly in the river. I do not know if the commenter was aware of the condition of the health of the trees when writing these comments on the MDNS. It is my understanding that, based on review of the trees by a qualified arborist, it is unlikely any of the 15 trees would be healthy enough to grow to a height where they would be tall enough to fall into the river. It is likely that they would be removed as hazards to pubic safety before they could obtain their full potential, height (which could take several hundred years for the redwoods). In the event that any of these trees were to 12/06/2002 11:27 2067899684 ADOLFSON PAGE 04/19 Foster Golf Links Clubhouse . rojecr December 6, 2002 Page 4 of 6 fall naturally, in the near future they would likely fall onto paved surfaces of the house. The likely scenario then, is that they would be cut up and removed for public safety long before they would ever have the chance to be washed into the river. Although the replacement trees are not the equal in size to those removed, they are to be planted along the river. It is my opinion that they would have a higher chance of providing large woody debris to the stream in the long term by simple nature of their proximity to the river, compared to the trees to be removed around the parking area. 6, Native riparian forest containing western red cedar, even as immature trees, that is located along the lower Green/Duwamish River are relatively. These forests do provide important ecological function as identified by the commentor. The site plan misidentified the trees to be removed as cedar (implying western redcedar [Thuja plicata]), a tree native to most lowland forests in the Puget Sound Region. The trees to be removed are coastal redwoods and Colorado blue spruce that were planted as landscape amenities, and are not part of any native riparian forest complex (see photo). The reviewer is apparently unfamiliar with the actual site and the description within the MDNS appears to have been somewhat misleading as to imply that these trees might occur as part of a natural riparian forest assemblage. As a point of clarification, riparian forest is not being coverted to parking lot as part of the proposed action. Existing parking area is being expanded into an area that is currently developed as road, lawn, landscape area, and building site as shown in the attached photographs. The proposed action will not result in a permanent loss of riparian forest and will not result in the loss of trees that "one could expect to grow and recruit into the Green River" as described in the response to Comment 5. 7. Comment noted. If the proposed action involved siting of a totally new facility in an area currently dominated by riparian forest and not simply the expansion of an existing facility into areas already disturbed by development, I would agree that there would be more appropriate places to have a locate a parking lot. However, the existing land uses (home, road, lawn, parking lot) were established prior to our current understanding of ecological principles and the importance of shoreline areas related to salmon production. In addition, the mitigation proposed.to compensate for the loss of this disturbed habitat provides for planting trees with more actual recruitment potential than the trees proposed for removal. The commenter's opinion is completely understandable in that context, but given that the MDNS reflects the potential impacts to the environment as it exists today (the environmental baseline), and not as it could exist at some unknown future time under differing circumstances, it is my opinion that, the proposed action will not result in unmitigated adverse impacts to listed fish species in the lower Green/Duwamish River, as described by SEPA.

The redwoods provide a specific habitat type and their proximity to the river makes them rather important to local and migratory species, including Federally listed salmonids. I would like to see an alternative parking plan developed that preserves these trees' as well as some of the other mature on site trees. In addition, I believe that these trees arc an asset to the site and provide a pleasant, individualized character that is worth preserving. .:,.• z ,1- W • J0 0 co 0❑ wE- w �Q � ❑ _� 1--w z= Z o .

I would like to point out that marbled murrelets Brachyramphus marmoratus another Federally listed species (Threatened, Federal BSA in 1992) uses redwood trees for nesting. Since they have a presence within greater Puget Sound, one would be able to reasonably presume that the potential for nesting behavior by this bird could occur at the golf course. The issue of the distance of the trees from the river where this threatened species concerned is moot. The prox of these redwoods to the river has little bearing on murrelets use as they will fly over 40 miles (sometimes much more) from their feeding areas to utilize trees like these. r In addition to this, the trees provide insect food source for juvenile salmonids as well as habitat for other local species as I mentioned previously. 11 /1db /2UU2 11:2/ 2 b/899684 ADOLFSON PAGE 12/19 MEMORANDUM DATE: December 6, 2002 TO: Rick Still FROM: Berm Burke CC: Occurrence of Federally - listed salmonids in the Project Vicinity A D O L F J O N Etwi ronnzenrcpt SofU#ons RE: Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Project - Salmonid Technical Memo A review of current scientific literature was conducted to summarize information on the expected level of use and habitat requirements of federally - listed salmonids in the project vicinity. A listing of pertinent references is provided at the end of this report. Puget Sound Chinook Salmon Chinook salmon in the vicinity of the Foster Golf Links golf course are included in the Puget Sound Chinook ESU; a population listed as threatened by the NMFS on March 24, 1999. Chinook salmon are anadromous. Adults spawn in freshwater streams in the late summer and fall, Fry emerge in the winter and spring. Juvenile chinook may rear in freshwater from three months to two years (NMFS 1998). The outmigration of juvenile chinook occurs year- round. Warner and Fritz (1995) found juvenile chinook year -round in the lower Duwamish /Green River system with a distinctive population peak in mid - May. The 1992 Salmon and Steelhead Stock Inventory (SASSI) report (1994) states that chinook generally migrate to salt water in the summer and fall, with some fish overwintering in fresh water and outmigrating in the spring. Regardless of outmigration timing, Puget Sound chinook spend from two to four years rearing in Puget Sound and /or the North Pacific before returning to spawn. Adult chinook salmon return to the Duwamish/Green River system from April through September (SASSI, 1994). Chinook salmon die after spawning. Chinook require varied habitats during different phases of their life. Chinook typically spawn in the mainstem of larger rivers and tributaries. Spawning habitat typically consists of riffles and the tailouts of pools with clean substrates dominated by large cobbles. Juvenile chinook rear in the lower mainstem of rivers before entering the estuary. This is a period of intense growth; Shepard (1981) reports individual juvenile chinook may grow from one percent to two percent a day in the environments. Individual juvenile chinook may spend, on average, two to six days rearing in the estuary; however, the year -round outmigration of juveniles results in a generally constant recruitment to lower -river and estuarine habitats over the entire year (Stober et al. in Shepard, 1981). After rearing, Puget Sound chinook move to pelagic habitats. Some fish forage entirely within Puget Sound and nearshore waters while others range into the 'North Pacific (NMFS, 1998).

Lr LVO1O77OO Adolfson Memorandum Page 2 In Tukwila, chinook are present within the mainstem of the Duwamish /Green River during their outmigration as juveniles and during their return migration as adults. Chinook salmon stocks in the Duwamish /Green River have been identified as "healthy" based on escapement levels (SASSI 1994). The 1992 SASSI report stated that there has been an increasing trend in natural spawning escapement levels as indicated by redd counts; however, the report concludes that some of these increases may be attributed to naturally spawned fish of hatchery origin, This includes fish of hatchery origin that do not return to the hatchery as adults, instead spawning naturally in streams. Bull Trout Coastal bull trout was listed by the USFWS as threatened in November 1, 1999. The historical distribution of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) extended from northern California to Alaska. In Washington, bull trout are found throughout coastal and inland streams and lakes (WDFW 1991). Bull trout and Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma) are not,'in fact, "trout," but are char. Both Bull trout and Dolly Varden are similar species, and have been considered to interbreed or be the same species. Separate inventories for each species have not been performed due to two major factors: considerable biological similarities exist between the species and methodologies to reliably separate them where they coexist have only recently been developed and have not been widely applied; and strong similarities exist with respect to life history, habitat, and hatchery and fisheries management (WDFW 1998). Bull trout have a very complex life history. There are two life history forms in bull trout: a resident form and a migratory form. Individuals of the migratory form may be stream dwelling (fluvial), lake - dwelling (adfluvial), or ocean - or esturine- dwelling (anadromous) (USFWS 1998). Individuals of each form may be represented in a single population; however, migratory populations may dominate where migration corridors and subadult rearing habitats are in good condition (USFWS 1998). Most coastal bull trout are anadromous. Anadromous fish migrate to the ocean in the spring and return in the late summer and early fall (Wydoski and Whitney 1979). Bull trout are opportunistic feeders, consuming fish in the water column and insects on the bottom (WDW 1991). Stream temperatures and substrate conditions are important for bull trout. Bull trout are most commonly associated with pristine or only slightly disturbed basins (USFWS 1998). Bull trout spawn from August through November in streams with clean gravel substrates and cold (less than 9 degrees C) water temperatures. Redds are dug by females in water eight to 24 inches deep, in substrate gravels 0.2 to two inches in diameter (Wydoski and Whitney 1979). Bull trout are not known to occur as residents in the Duwamish /Green River system. There have been reports of native char in the basin; however, extensive surveys in the upper watershed above Howard Hanson Dam have not identified a resident population in this relatively undisturbed watershed (WDFW 1998). Warner and Fritz (1995) reported the capture of one bull trout adult in the lower estuary downstream of the City during their seine surveys in the Duwamish /Green River estuary and confirmed the identification of the fish by genetic testing. It is not known whether this individual fish was an anadromous or fluvial fish from the Duwamish /Green system or an opportunist from another basin feeding on outmigrating fish in the lower river (Warner and Fritz 1995). Given that other contemporary fish surveys throughout the Duwamish /Green River system have not produced a single confirmed bull trout (WDFW 1998), it appears that bull trout use, or potential use, in the Duwamish/Green River within the City of Tukwila is not significant, although the occasional fish may stray into the lower estuary. $41JULr bUN PAGE 13/19 z I-Z ~ w jU O 0 CO 0 O W J F- CD w . u "I (21 I w z � zo ❑ U O N ❑ i- ww u.. w z U = H I O z 12/06/2002 11:27 2067899684 ADOLFSON PAGE 14/19 Adolfson Memorandum Page 3 No bull trout have been identified in any of the tributary streams within the City of Tukwila and, given habitat conditions, future bull trout use is not likely Available Fisheries Habitat in the lower Duwamish /Green River The Foster Golf Links golf course is located within 200 feet of the Duwamish/Green River, a large river system draining a major watershed, often referred to as Water Resources Inventory Area 9 (WRIA 9). The Duwamish /Green River flows generally north through the City of Tukwila from approximately River Mile (RM) 5 to RM 17. Prior to the 1920's, the Duwamish River drained a much larger watershed including all flows from the present Green River watershed (WRIA 9), the Lake Washington drainage basin (WRIA 8), and the White River (now part of WRIA 10). Both natural and man -made modifications during the early 1900's reduced the drainage basin to its present configuration. Flows from the White River were diverted to the Puyallup River by a flood in 1906 and flows from Lake Washington were diverted west to Lake Union and Salmon Bay after the construction of the Ballard Locks and Lake Washington Ship Canal in 1916. Currently the Duwamish/Green River drains about one quarter of its original extent (Warner and Fritz, 1995). Historically, the lower Duwamish /Green River including the entire reach within the City, consisted of rapidly shifting meanders (Warner and Fritz, 1995). Presently, the Duwamish/Green River within the City is completely constrained by dikes. Diking during the early part of the 1900's and the construction of Howard Hanson Dam in 1961 on the Green River near Palmer, Washington have reduced flooding and erosion and limit the river to its present channel. Extensive water regime and channel modifications have resulted in current habitat conditions that were not historically present in the Duwamish /Green River system. A large estuarine wetland that included the lower reach of the river is no longer present. The northern -most portion of the Duwamish /Green River is maintained as a navigation channel, which is dredged to allow access upstream to the Turning Basin. Most of the oxbows, side channels, sloughs, and associated wetlands historically present in reaches flowing through the City have been filled or otherwise isolated from the Duwamish /Green River channel. The Duwamish/Green River adjacent to the Foster Golf Links golf course serves as a salmonid transportation and rearing area (Williams et at, 1975). Williams et al. (1975) state that the lower Duwamish /Green River is "vital to salmon as a transition area for adaptation of migrants to salinity changes." The northernmost portion of the present -day Duwamish/Green River system is still generally a brackish estuarine environment, although dredging has created deepwater habitats where none previously existed (Warner and Fritz, 1995). Tidal influences are observed upstream to about the mouth of the Black River. The mouth of the Black River marks the upstream extent of the Duwamish River portion of the Duwamish/Green River system. The channelization of the river has resulted in a modification of the natural mixing action of the estuary, resulting in a distinct salt wedge and simplified mixing zone (Dawson and Tilley 1972 in Warner and Fritz, 1995). Substrates within the lower Duwamish /Green River are dominated by consolidated and unconsolidated mud and sand (Warner and Fritz, 1995). Compacted gravel is the dominant substrate above the tidal influence (Williams et al., 1975). Most of the area within the shoreline zone of the Duwamish /Green River within the City is either developed or brown field being . mv.. ea„ n ..s..a:nassyscr:zzrrL:x?v+=+•r� ••.,-^.'^- •.^ ""'^; wxcr5v+. vr,.. mw+; mY, ±a75°.'Y!;'Y��.'X:C"d ".•!+•• z ~ w 00 LLI J = F- � u_ w o g Q = • a w z I- o w ~ : o U O- 0H w ! o z U 0 Z 11/ bb /'lbbl 11:2/ 10b /899684 Adoffson Memorandum Page 4 ADOLFSON PAGE 15/19 redeveloped: Water dependent uses generally occur below RM 8 (Williams et al. 1975). Small areas of sparse tree and shrug; cover line the bank, but shading potential is limited. Vegetation growing along the dikes provides some overhanging cover, but habitat complexity is low and habitat elements such as large woody debris and off channel areas are generally absent. Summary Although the occasional fish may 'stray into the lower estuary, bull trout use, or potential use, in the Duwamish/Green River within the City is not likely to be significant. Chinook use within the vicinity and site is well documented. The Duwamish/Green River adjacent to the Foster Golf Links golf course serves as a transportation and rearing area for chinook salmon during their outmigration as juveniles and during their return migration as adults.

A listing of pertinent references and personal communications is provided at the end of this report. Marbled Murrelet Occurrence in the Project Vicinity Marbled murrelets are currently federally- listed as threatened in Washington State. Marbled murrelets occur from the Aleutian Islands of Alaska to central California (Federal Register Volume 61, Number 102, May 24, 1996). in Washington, marbled murrelets are year -round residents on coastal waters,'and have been observed foraging in Puget Sound waters (Wahl and Speich, 1984; Speich et al., 1995). Marbled murrelets typically forage for small fish and crustaceans in marine waters within 1.2 miles of the shore (Ehrlich et al., 1988; WDW, 1991; USFWS, 1996). Nesting habitat is not present in the project area (see below). Marbled murrelet potential use of the Foster Golf Links golf course area is expected to be limited only to occasional transient use when they may fly over the area between their foraging grounds in marine waters and their inland nests. Nesting Habitat Requirements In nesting requirements, marbled murrelets are dependant upon old- growth forests, or forests with an older tree component (USACOE, 2002). Sites occupied by murrelets tend to have a higher proportion of mature forest classes than do unoccupied sites (Raphael et al., 1995). These forests are characterized by multi - layered canopies and a high composition of low - elevation conifer trees, and typically occur on the lower two thirds of forested slopes, up to 52 miles from marine environments (Hamer and Nelson, 1995). Preferred Nest Trees Marbled murrelets nest and roost in mature and old growth forest areas of western Washington (WDW, 1991), and they tend to nest in the same forest stand in successive years (USFWS, 1997), Critical Habitat for marbled murrelets was designated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in 1996. For nesting habitat to be accessible to marbled murrelets, it must occur close enough to the marine environment ADOLFSON ASSOCIATES, INC. 5309 Shilshole Avenue NW, Suite 200 Seattle, WA 98107 Tel 206 789 9658 www.adol'.fson.com Fax 206 789 9684 A D O L F S O N owl • 00 Ewirontnenra Sol(Xons z i~ ~ z O 0 0 to -1 _ W u_ w 0 w a = I- Ill z° w w 2 o 0 O N • I- tow I - w z ui U = 0 . z for murrelets to fly back and forth. In the Puget Sound area there is little nesting habitat available near marine environments, with stands meeting the habitat preferred by murrelets occurring between 10 and 40 miles inland (Hamer, 1995). The farthest inland distance for a known occupied site is 84 kilometers (52 miles) in Washington. The available literature considers the following attributes to be common traits of nest trees preferred by marbled murrelets: ...vv I v J Jvv`1 Adolfson Memorandum Page 2 Tree Structure. Individual tree attributes that provide conditions suitable for nesting include large branches (average of 32 centimeters (13 inches), range of 10 to 81 centimeters (4 to 32 inches) in Washington, Oregon, and California) or forked branches, deformities (e.g., broken tops), dwarf mistletoe infections, witches' brooms, or other structures large enough to provide a platform for a nesting adult murrelet (Hamer and Nelson, 1995). These structures are typically found in old- growth and mature forests, but may be found in a variety of forest types including younger forests containing remnant large trees. Because marbled murrelets do not build nests, moss or detritus may be important to cushion or hold the egg. Platforms should have overhead cover for protection from predators and weather, which may be provided by overhanging branches, limbs above the nest area, or branches from neighboring trees. Canopy cover directly over the nests was typically found to be high (average 84 percent; range 5 to 100 percent) (Hamer and Nelson, 1995). Such canopy cover may be provided by trees adjacent to the nest tree, and/or by the nest tree itself. Northwestern forests and trees typically require 200 to 250 years to attain the attributes necessary to support marbled murrelet nesting, although characteristics of nesting habitat sometimes develop in younger coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) and western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) forests. Tree Species. The marbled murrelet population in Washington, Oregon, and California nests in most of the major types of coniferous forests in the western portions of these states, wherever older forests remain inland of the coast. Based on current information from Washington, Oregon, and Califomia, nests have been found in Douglas -fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), coastal redwood, western hemlock, western redcedar (Thuja plicate), or Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) (Hamer and Nelson, 1995). No records were found of marbled murrelet using coastal redwoods for nesting in Washington. Stand Size In addition to studies of edge effects, some research has been initiated to look at the importance of stand size. Among all Pacific Northwest birds, the marbled murrelet is considered to be one of the most sensitive to forest fragmentation (Hansen and Urban 1992). Murrelet nest stand size in Washington, Oregon, and California varied between 3 and 1,100 hectares (7 and 2,717 acres) and averaged 206 hectares (509 acres) (Hamer and Nelson, 1995). Nelson and Hamer, (1995) found that successful murrelets tended to nest in larger stands than did unsuccessful murrelets, and Schieck et al. (1995) found that murrelet presence and abundance was positively correlated with old- growth stand size in British Columbia; however, neither sets of data were statistically significant. rHUt 11119 z i~ w EC 2 J U U w w J CD u_ w 0 u. co a =w r-_ z ,- �= z D • ❑ O - ❑ I-- w W u. ui = o'- z --.. vv. rvvr a i. L1 -.VV. V JJVV� Adolfson Memorandum Page 3 References General Landscape Condition In addition to stand size, general landscape condition may influence the degree to which marbled murrelets nest in an area. In Washington, marbled murrelet detections increased when old- growth/ mature forests comprised more than 30 percent of the landscape (Hamer and Cummins, 1990). Hamer and Cummins (1990) found that detections of marbled murrelets decreased in Washington when the percentage of clear - cut/meadow in the landscape increased above 25 percent. Additionally, Raphael et al. (1995) found that the percentage of old -growth forest and large sawtimber was significantly greater within 0.8- kilometer (0.5 -mile) of sites (203 - hectare (501 -acre) circles) that were occupied by murrelets than at sites where they were not detected. Raphael et al. (1995) suggested tentative guidelines based on this analysis indicate that sites with 35 percent old - growth and large sawtimber in the landscape are more likely to be occupied. In California, Miller and Ralph (1995) found that the density of old- growth cover and the presence of coastal redwood were the strongest predictors of murrelet presence. Summary The nearest potential occurrence of marbled murrelets is in the marine waters of Elliott Bay or Puget Sound, more than 5 miles from the project. Marbled murrelets may fly over the project between nest and marine foraging areas. Coastal redwoods are utilized as nesting trees for marbled murrelet, however, this is only in California or southern Oregon where these trees are native. Although several of the on -site redwoods have a dbh of 32 inches, with one tree exhibiting a dbh measured at 40 inches (per drawings provided by the City), however, they did not exhibit suitable branch structure, and do not provide shelter from adjacent disturbance. Instead, they are located in a row immediately adjacent to a busy four -lane arterial (Interurban Way) and overlook a residential home. Moss, mistletoe, and lichen was not observed on the trees; however, this is unconfirmed as observations were only made from the ground. Murrelets tend to avoid areas of continual disturbance and commonly nest and roost in mature and old growth forest areas averaging 509 acres in size.

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 recreational use of the course and the new golf course will enhance "...reasonable and appropriate use... ", will not alter navigation, will not have adverse effects on the public health, land and only minimal impact (the loss of three trees within two hundred foot of the river). This work will not alter the fisheries or the public's right to access the shoreline. 3. No structures or accessory facilities shall be located over the river, unless such structure protects or promotes the public interest. This project will not add any structure over the 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 a part of an approved Shoreline Substantial Development permit. No trees will be removed within the first 55' from the water's edge. However, this project will remove five trees located from 55' to 200' of the river.. 5. No effluents shall be discharged into the Green River which exceeds the water quality classification on established by the State for the adjacent portion of the river. This project will not discharge effluents into the water. 6. All State and Federal water quality regulations shall be strictly complied with. This project will be required to obtain local permitting which would ensure compliance with state and federal regulations. 7. Wildlife habitat in and along the river should be protected. We have not observed any significant birds or animals nesting in the trees identified to be removed. David A. Clark Architects, PLLC David A. Clark Architects, PLLC 8.

CLARK November 18, 2002 Carol Lumb Senior Planner City of Tukwila 6300 Southcenter Blvd #100 Tukwila, WA 98188 Re: Proposed Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Dear Ms. Lumb, Qr.. �• .� NOV '18 2002 COFJ Tf DEVELOPMENT In response to your letter of November 12, 2002 regarding your SEPA, Design Review, Shoreline and Special Permission Parking application comments, please find the following responses. The numbering relates directly to your initial letter. E02 -020 SEPA 1. Regarding item #3.a.6. Please discuss handling of parking lot runoff, runoff from the shops, carts and other equipment and handling of fertilizers, application and storage and how this may impact waters draining to the enlarged detention pond. Will there be fuel storage areas on- site? What measures are planned to handle any spills that may occur? The only added impact will come from the larger size of the parking lot and the larger building footprint size. The runoff from the city shops is an existing connection that is not being altered by this project. The detention pond is being enlarged to handle the larger on -site footprint. At the request of the Public Works department, we are also enlarging the pond to handle the off site water from the shops that was previously not addressed. We are not adding a fuel storage area to the golf course, and we are not altering any method of storing, handling or use of fertilizers. The entire list of fertilizers used at the site has been approved by the City Public Works Department's Biologist for use on all areas of the course, including the areas adjacent to the river. However, this project will not house any fertilizers under any circumstances, even temporarily.

Item #4 /5: Plants and Animals: This project includes removal of several large cedar trees that are part of a Windrow planted possibly at the same time that the George Eddy home was constructed. The sequoia trees being removed within the 100' Low Impact Environment shoreline boundary provide many habitat benefits, including fishery benefits. Replacement with smaller trees does not totally mitigate the removal. If these trees are ultimately removed, this project will be required to provide riverbank habitat improvements as a mitigation measure along with replacement trees as required by TMC 18.54.130 3. One Cedar tree and two spruces are identified to be removed with in the 100' Low Impact Environmental Shoreline Boundary. Two Sequoias are identified to be removed in the 200' High Impact Environmental Shoreline Boundary. It is unlikely that any of these trees will provide shading for the river habitat. Also note that the Spruce trees are not native species of Western Washington, but introduced ornamentals. 3. Item #12. It appears that construction of the parking lot will temporarily affect the location of the Green River Trail along Interurban Avenue South. Please describe how Trail users will be accommodated during construction, specifically how the Trail users will be notified of construction activity that will disrupt use of the Trail and where the Trail will be re- routed. The Drawings have the following note on the architectural site plans "Provide existing asphalt bike path & concrete sidewalk as required at new entrance. Contractor shall sign- closure with warning signs approved by the City and shall restore smooth paved temporary paths within 48 hours of closure or as allowed by the City. Construct new entrance in strict:. accordance with City Standards. See civil drawings for more information." 4. Item 7. Environmental Health a.2., a spill response and pollution prevention plan will be requiredfor the construction activities. The contractor shall be required to submit for approval a spill response and pollution prevention plan at the pre- construction meeting with the City. We would ask that this requirement be deferred until that time. 5. Item #13: Please provide an evaluation from a certified arborist on the impacts to the historical tree of the building demolition (George Eddy house), and any improvements to the inner driveway that provides vehicle access to parking stalls on the west side of the site. A detail on how the historic tree will be protected during construction, reviewed and approved by the arborist, must be provided. The City has already engaged an independent arborist to assist the design team in protecting the Foster tree. His report and recommendations on this question will be addressed under a . separate letter. 6. The remainder of the Windrow of large sequoia trees is proposed for removal just outside the 200' shoreline boundary. Did you consider a plan that would incorporate these trees into the landscape plan? What is the impact to the overall parking for this project if the Windrow trees are retained? These trees were not considered to remain in the design process in an effort to provide the most usable and accessible parking spaces close to the clubhouse. Their removal will mitigate any further impact of parking on the Golf Course / Green Space and the Foster DAVID A. CLARK ARCHITECTS, PLLC November 14, 2002 Ms. Carol Lumb Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Page 3 Maple. Retaining these trees would require a loss of at least 36 parking spaces (4 compact and 32 standard). The following are comments or suggestions we would like to discuss: ce QF- = Z ~'w JU 00 U U CO MI J = 7. Item #13: While not as old as the Foster Maple Tree, the Windrow of sequoia trees should also be included among the historical resources on the site, as they are thought to have been planted around the same time as when the George Eddy house was constructed. We have no knowledge of the Sequoia trees as historic resources. Their removal mitigates any further impact of parking on the Golf Course / Green Space and the Foster Maple. w w 4. Plants c.

CLARK ARCHITECTS, PLLC 2. Item 4: The shoreline application must discuss the habitat impacts to the shoreline environment of the removal of the cedar trees. One Cedar and one Blue Spruce are located with in 100' from the Riverr edge, and one Blue Spruce is located 70' from the River edge. It is unlikely that these trees are capable of casting shadows or causing significant impact to the river habitat. 3. Item 5: Water that is discharged to the detention pond will be collected from a variety of sources, including fertilized greens and areas where leakage from vehicles is possible (parking lots, shops). What impacts will this have on the water that discharges to the Duwamish River? The only added impact will come from the larger size of the parking lot and the larger building footprint size. The runoff from the city shops is an existing connection that is not being altered by this project. The detention pond is being enlarged to handle the larger on- site footprint. At the request of the Public Works department, we are also enlarging the pond to handle the off site water from the shops that was previously not addressed. We are not adding a fuel storage area to the golf course, and we are not altering any method of storing, handling or use offertilizers. The entire list offertilizers used at the site has been approved by the City Public Works Department's Biologist for use on all areas of the course, November 14, 2002 Ms. Carol Lumb Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Page 4 including the areas adjacent to the river. This project will not alter the method, amount or frequency of delivery offertilizer. 4. Item 7: This area is along the Pacific Flyway and bald eagle, Chinook salmon and bull trout area listed protected species that are found in the vicinity. How will these habitats be impacted by the :i w development and how will the habitat be protected? D The cedar trees currently may provide some nesting opportunities for wildlife, but are not -J v 0 close enough to the River to provide shade'. While no eagles have been observed in the . co w vicinity during field visits, the large cedars could potentially be used for perching. After w i removal of the trees it is unknown whether eagles would seek alternate perch locations in co u _ other tall trees located on the golf course. As the golf course is always planting and w o removing trees during its six year master plan alteration, it is unlikely, but unknown, that the removal of the planned trees on the fully treed 60 acre site will cause disruption to the flyway ct patterns.

The application is missing a narrative that addresses the relevant Tukwila Comprehensive Plan z shoreline policies. A copy of these policies is attached. Please review and address Goals 5.6, 5.8, 5.9 and 5.10. Goal 5.10 should be addressed particularly as it relates to the enlarged detention pond on the site and the source of the storm water that will flow there. Please see attached for Comprehensive Plan narrative. 6. Did the project designers consider trying to reuse or somehow save the many trees that are in the existing parking lot? Some of them appear distressed, but for the most part, they are mature trees that would provide a lot more benefit right off the bat than replacement trees. Where reasonable tree digging is possible trees located in the existing parking lot and those in the south parking lot expansion area will be dug and transplanted by Parks Department for use on other park sites. As the demolition/construction period is outside the usual tree digging season, it is not feasible to transplant the trees for this project. DAVID A. CLARK ARCHITECTS, PLLC November 14, 2002 Ms. Carol Lumb Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Page 5 L02 -040: Design Review Application The following code requirements have not been addressed: 1. The Landscape Plan is missing planting note details for the trees and shrubs. In addition, the plant lists include size notations that may be in error. For example, the shade trees are listed as 2.5' (foot) caliper, when 2.5" (inch) caliper probably is intended. Please review the sizes of the plans listed and adjust as appropriate. (TMC 18.52.050) Corrections to the font have been made for clarification. The landscape plan has been revised to reflect changes. 2. Please clarify the front property line location and whether perimeter landscaping is provided on the front of the site along Interurban Avenue. The Zoning Code requires 12 'A feet of Type I landscaping to screen the parking area. Type I landscaping requires one tree for each 30 lineal feet (these are already planted along the frontage), one shrub for each 7 lineal feet (evergreen and deciduous) and living groundcover to cover 90% of the landscape area within three years. (TMC 18.52.050) Existing vegetation along the Interurban frontage to remain unless identified otherwise. Landscape plans indicate any disturbed planting along the frontage to be replaced The landscape plan has been revised to reflect these changes. The delineation of the exact property line is unknown to the City at this time. A surveyor has been engaged to provide a final determination. Please note the proposed parking lot does not encroach any closer . to the right -of way (and existing landscaping, bike trail and sidewalk) than the existing parking la 3. No quantities are specified for the proposed groundcovers nor are symbols specified to identify what groundcovers will be planted where. These are required by the landscape code (TMC 18.52.050) The landscape plan has been revised to reflect ground cover planting symbols and quantities. 4. No irrigation plan has been provided for the landscaping. (TMC 18.52.050) An irrigation plan is included as a part of the re- submittal. 5. Please provide an elevation detail for the foundation/landscape island in the front of the building. What typical seasonal plants will be planted, particularly in the winter? • The center planter is a "fountain" of flowers and is strictly annuals planted for seasonal color. There is no structure or water in the island The landscape plan has been revised for clarification of this item. Typical plants for winter would be Ornamental Cabbage, Ornamental Kale, and Winter Pansies. Other seasons would include bulbs, summer and fall annuals and perennials. 6. Wheel stops must be provided on the perimeter landscaping. (TMC 18.56.7.e.). The site plan has been revised to reflect the required wheelstops. Please let me know how many copies of the revised plan to submit. 7. Bicycle parking must be provided (1 space per 50 parking stalls). (TMC 18.56.130) The site plan has been revised to reflect the required bike parking. DAVID A. CLARK ARCHITECTS, PLLC November 14, 2002 Ms. Carol Lumb Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Page 6 8. Where will garbage and recycling be collected? The collection area should be noted on either the landscape plan, with screening details noted, or on the site plan. The site plan does indicate the screened garbage /recycling enclosure55' south of the building adjacent to the 18 green. 9. At least one designated loading area is required. (TMC 18.56.060) Please identify where this space will be located on the site plan. The loading area is shown on the site plan on the service /fire lane at the south end of the building, between the building and the 18 green. 10. No information about proposed signage was submitted other than the notation on the building elevations as to possible locations for signage on the building. The BAR reviews and approved signage as part of design review. If signage design is not available for review now, it can be submitted at a future time for BAR review and approval. The setback for the free standing sign is taken from the front property line. We would like to defer this submittal to a future date. The following are comments and suggestions we would like to discuss with you: 11. The window treatments and sizes vary on the west elevation — some windows appear to have shutters and are wider than others. Is there a reason for the differences in the window sizes /treatments? If not, please revise the design to provide a consistent size of windows. As we discussed, the style of the elevations and the treatment of the fenestration underwent extreme scrutiny by the city, the Mayor and the council. The resulting design is a farmhouse vernacular, very common in the south King County area. A significant element in this style is the "add -on" look of the building, giving the appearance that the building was constructed in phases. The varying sizes of dormer windows is a significant element of this design. 12. The western elevation is dominated by the roof appearance. Can you revise the design of the projecting roof over the meeting rooms to provide a gable treatment similar to that shown on the north or south elevations? As we discussed, the style of the elevations and the treatment of the roof lines underwent extreme scrutiny by the city, the Mayor and the council. The resulting design is a farmhouse vernacular, very common in the south King County area. A significant element in this style is the "add -on" look of the building, giving the appearance that the building was constructed in phases. The varying types of roof lines is also significant element of this design. 13. The Fire Department had commented that the shade trees at the main drive may need to be field adjusted to ensure ladder truck access to the clubhouse. Understood. DAVID A. CLARK ARCHITECTS, PLLC November 14, 2002 Ms. Carol Lumb Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Page 7 14. The tree cutting plan indicates that two parking stalls will be located at the far northern end of the site. The landscape plan does not identify these two stalls. Which plan is correct? Since there is a historical marker just north of these two parking stalls, did you consider some kind of linkage between historic maple tree and this marker? The landscaping plans are correct. The site plan will be revised to reflect that change. Special Permission Parking 1. Please explain what is meant by "demand loads," which is the basis for determining the number of additional parking stalls needed. How is it that the "demand loads" indicates such a higher need for parking stalls Does the "demand load" method use gross square footage rather than usable square footage as the basis for its calculations? As we discussed, the "demand load" is a based on a scenario of situations that are likely to occur at a golf course and restaurant facility. The scenario that created the greatest "demand load" was one that had a Friday afternoon shotgun golf tournament, a 7 PM wedding reception and a full restaurant and lounge. 2. The chart for Concept A states that no parking is required for the Pro Shop. Parking is required for accessory uses — and in this case, retail uses require 2.5 parking stalls for each 1,000 square feet of floor area. The parking study did not take into account the parking for the retail as the facility is not a >: "destination" type of retail store. It primarily serves only those patrons who are already,'on site (golfers, and perhaps the occasional restaurant patron). Retail staff parking requirements were, in fact, taken into account.

While this project will not alter the access to the river, the project will attract more golf and non -golf citizens to the facility, which will bring greater recognition to the river and the recreational opportunities. 5.8 Historic Resource Use: Recognition of the river's contribution to the Tukwila's history and community identity through identification., enhancement, restoration, and protection of sites with historic and cultural value and through development of interpretive and educational programs. One document known to the City have suggested only documentation of the existing on -site buildings for possible historical significance. However, at the November 4 Tukwila City Council meeting, it was discussed and determined that there are no significant historical value of the five buildings on site slated to be demolished. These buildings, having been constructed from between 1932 (George Eddy House, currently abandoned) and 1946 (existing clubhouse). One existing large rn tree, thought to have been planted in 1873, will remain completer undisturbed This tree will be completely protected with a tempos construction fence and alteration of the soil in the area under the of the golf course landscape architect. 5.9 Natural Environment and Habitat Use: Restored, Enhanced, and protected natural environmental resources along the river, including trees, wildlife and features with value for long term public, scientific, and educat This project will not impact the sandbars, wetlands or watercourseo the river that are important for habitat, as the majority of the project is:„ well beyond the 200' zone of the river. The portion of the work within` the 40' to 200' zone is earthwork which will be held to the high Citj: standards of erosion control and the best known implemental practices of the industry. Absolutely no work is to be performed within the river zone itself uses. DAVID A. CLARK ARCHITECTS, PLLC The cedar trees being removed may currently provide some nesting opportunities for wildlife, but are not close enough to the river to provide shade. While no eagles have been observed in the vicinity I Source: Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Harmed Office /Warehouse Project, September, 2001, prepared by Huckel /Weinman Associates. during field visits, the large cedars could potentially be used for perching. After removal of the trees it is unknown whether eagles would seek alternate perch locations in other tall trees located on the golf course. As the golf course is always planting and removing trees during its six year master plan alteration, it is unlikely, but unknown, that the removal of the planned trees on the fully treed 60 acre site will cause disruption to the flyway patterns. Replacement trees are being installed on the golf course and in the parking lot. 5.10 Water Quality, Surface Water, and Flood Control Use: Improved water quality and quality control program affecting the Green/Duwamish River that improve the river's water quality , provide habitat for fish and wildlife, protect public health and safety, and enhance public enjoyment of the river. The design of the storm water control system is an enhancement of the existing on -site system, expanded to meet the existing off site needs as well as the larger building footprint and the larger parking lot. This enhancement is primarily an enlargement of the existing water quality treatment and pond along the number one golf hole. The pond is being enlarged as a feature of the first hole to accommodate the larger requirements of this project. The entire drainage collection and treatment system has been reviewed on a preliminary basis by the Public Works department and has been met with approval. The source of the storm water flowing through the site is primarily storm water collected in the parking lot of the facility, as the existing lot is being re- graded and expanded The storm water from the footprint will either be tied into the storm system or will. bet.. discharged into the new water feature adjacent to the new ninth: green. The only off-site introduction of water is the existing tie to the' storm water collected from the City Shops and golf course maintenance' -';` building At the request of the City Public Works department, the is being enlarged to handle the off site storm water from the shops tha was previously not addressed. This existing connection to the City Shops is not being altered under this project. DAVID A. CLARK ARCHITECTS, PLLC This clubhouse project is not adding a fuel storage area to the golf course, and it is not altering any method of storing, handling or. use,of fertilizers. The entire list offertilizers used at the site has been approved by the City Public Works Department's Biologist for use on all areas of the course, including the areas adjacent to the river. To reduce the impact on the storm system and the river, this project will not house any fertilizers under any circumstances, even temporarily. DAyib A.

Staff Report to the BAR L02 -040 Foster Golf Links Clubhouse B. Existing Development: z _� The site is zoned Commercial /Light Industrial (C /LI) and Low Density Residential u (LDR). The land currently is developed with an 18 -hole golf course, existing clubhouse 6 = constructed in 1946, several outbuildings and parking for 198 vehicles. 0 0 u) 0 u) 11.1 11.1 1 The site is bordered on three sides by the Green River, on the west by Interurban Avenue w O South and multifamily housing across the road along with a METRO park and ride g facility. A residential neighborhood, Foster Point, lies to the northeast across the river. A u_ rendering plant lies across the river to the east. co O I— w Z 1 D. Topography: l _ 0 z l— The site is developed as a golf course, which has slight variations in topography. The ? o steepest slope on the site is 37% on an adjacent course. Approximately 8,000 cubic yards U co of fill and 1,600 cubic yards of cut are planned as part of the construction activity. The o !— building pad and surrounding area will be filled to raise the elevation to 20 feet in order = v to be above the 100 -year flood plain. 1 ' L I O z C. Surrounding Land Use: u.i H I — The site is developed as a golf course, with manicured greens and varied vegetation. z There is a windrow of cedar trees, some of which fall within the shoreline environment that are proposed for removal. The historic Foster Maple Tree is located in the northwest portion of the site, adjacent to the river. Joseph Foster, an early settler in Tukwila, is reported to have planted the maple tree on July 4, 1873. As required by the City's SEPA determination, a certified arborist has made recommendations on protecting the historic maple tree both during demolition of the existing structure nearby and construction on the revised parking area near the tree (see Attachment E). The arborist will be on -site to place the protective fence, observe and work with heavy equipment operators, supervise any excavation or tunneling under the tree roots etc. One of the cedar trees (the Port Orford Cedar) that is closest to the historic maple tree will be retained. E. Vegetation: F. Sensitive Areas: Portions of the site lie within 200 feet of the Green River, a shoreline of the State and are regulated through the City's Shoreline Master Program. A shoreline substantial development permit will be issued prior to the public hearing with three conditions. The first condition requires screening of the parking just east of the historic tree from the c: \my docs \Foster Golf Course Clubhouse \DRstaffrpt.doc 3 Staff Report to the BAR L02 -040 Foster Golf Links Clubhouse river; the second condition requires enhancement of the shoreline adjacent to the historic z maple tree and the enlarged retention/bioswale by removing invasive vegetation and = plantings of native species; and the third requires that the cedar closest to the maple tree 'cc w 2 be retained. QQ D JU 00 G. Access: u) o u) ILI J = T he site is accessed via Interurban Avenue South. Interstate 5 and State Highway 599 lie u) just to the north of the site. 0 BACKGROUND � j d = w The new building will replace the existing clubhouse, which was constructed in 1946. 1- _ The frontage of the site was improved with the pedestrian/bicycle trail and landscaping z F— when the METRO trunk line was installed. An agreement between the City and METRO 1--- o was to be executed at that time to identify the property line and grant full usage to the 2 D City of the easement over the trunk line for parking and circulation. Execution of this v agreement is still outstanding and must be signed prior to issuance of the building permit. o E- Ill A Special Permission Parking application was submitted along with the other 1 applications for this project, as the parking code does not include parking standards for u- O golf courses, or meeting rooms. The Special Permission Parking is a Type 2 decision by v U) the Director of the Department of Community Development. Y z A shoreline substantial development permit and tree cutting permit are also required for this project. Several trees in the shoreline environment are proposed for removal. An arborist was hired by the Parks and Recreation Department to evaluate the condition of the historic Foster maple tree, a windrow of trees planted in the 1930's and a Port Orford cedar tree adjacent to the historic maple tree. A decision on these permits is a Type 2, administrative decision by the Director of the Department of Community Development. The director has determined, based on the information provided by the arborist, that the Port Orford cedar tree closest to the historic tree will be retained, but that the other trees regulated by the Tree Ordinance may be removed based on the arborist's assessment of their condition and the need for additional parking on the site. The requirement to retain the cedar tree nearest the historic tree will require that the parking immediately to the west be reconfigured. BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW CRITERIA c: \my docs\Foster Golf Course Clubhouse \DRstaffrpt.doc 4 Staff Report to the BAR L02 -040 Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Design review is required for all projects that are within 300 feet of residential districts or z larger than 10,000 square feet. In the following discussion, the BAR criteria are shown in z bold, followed by staff's comments. The applicant's responses to the BAR criteria are C 2 found in Attachment C. 6 D 0 1. Relationship of Structure to Site. co w A. The site should be planned to accomplish a desirable transition with the LLI streetscape. (1) u - B. Parking and service areas should be located, designed and screened to w moderate the visual impact of large paved areas; J C. The height and scale of each building should be considered in relation to the site. u- < co Response: The proposed development, a clubhouse, will be located on a small Z portion of a 60 -acre site developed as a golf course. The new clubhouse will be 1 . 0 located approximately 140 feet back from the street frontage. The intervening w w area is currently developed as a parking lot and will continue to be used for o parking, although the site will be reconfigured by regrading the knoll area where 0 El the historic maple tree is located. One large cedar tree that is adjacent to the o i- historic tree will be retained. As a result, the proposed parking in that area will = w need to be reconfigured. The current streetscape will not measurably change from P the existing streetscape. Parking is currently provided in between the existing z clubhouse and the street. The clubhouse has two fronts — one toward the street, the other toward the golf greens. As a result, the service area for the restaurant 0 will be located on the south side of the building next to the kitchen, screened by a z row of Wax Myrtle shrubs. Deliveries to the pro -shop will take place in the golf cart staging area, which is screened from the street by the intervening parking lot and landscaping. The new clubhouse will be one story, with one section 40 feet in height. This part of the building falls within the C /LI zoned portion of the site. The remainder of the building complies with the 30 -foot maximum height limitation of the LDR district. 2. Relationship of structure and site to adjoining area. A. Harmony of texture, lines and masses is encouraged; B. Appropriate landscape transition to adjoining properties should be provided; C. Public buildings and structures should be consistent with established neighborhood character; D. Compatibility of vehicular pedestrian circulation patterns and loading facilities in terms of safety, efficiency and convenience should be encouraged. c: \my docs \Foster Golf Course Clubhouse \DRstaffrpt.doc 5 Staff Report to the BAR L02 -040 Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Response: The new clubhouse is smaller in mass than adjacent multi - family structures. As a public building, the proposed clubhouse is consistent with the established character of the neighborhood. The Green River provides a natural barrier between the golf course use and the residential area on the north. A rendering plant lies across the river on the east, and odors from the plant carry over to the golf course site depending on the direction the wind is blowing. The golf course is located along a major transportation route in Tukwila, Interurban Avenue South. Three -story multifamily housing is located on the west, across Interurban as well as a METRO park and ride facility. The golf course provides major green open space in this area. The main entrance to the site is being relocated approximately 100 feet to the south and a second entrance is being added at the south end of the parking lot. Pedestrian circulation will continue to be located along the street. This will improve sight lines to the project and access for patrons and emergency vehicles. A service area for delivery trucks is provided on the south side of the building near the kitchen. The delivery area for the pro -shop will be the golf cart staging area. Both delivery areas are separated from pedestrian travel. 3. Landscaping and Site Treatment. A. Where existing topographic patterns contribute to the beauty and utility of a development, they should be recognized, preserved and enhanced; B. Grades of walks, parking spaces, terraces and other paved areas should promote safety and provide an inviting and stable appearance; C. Landscape treatment should enhance architectural features, strengthen vistas and important axis, and provide shade; D. In locations where plants will be susceptible to injury by pedestrian or motor traffic, mitigating steps should be taken; E. Where building sites limit planting, the placement of trees or shrubs in paved areas is encouraged; F. Screening of service yards, and other places which tend to be unsightly should be accomplished by use of walls, fencing, planting or combination; G. In areas where general planting will not prosper, other materials such as fences, walls and pavings of wood, brick, stone or gravel may be used; H. Exterior lighting, when used, should enhance the building design and the adjoining landscape. Lighting standards and fixtures should be of a design and size compatible with the building and adjacent area. Lighting should be shielded, and restrained in design. Excessive brightness and brilliant colors should be avoided. Response: The landscaping plan, found in Attachment A, illustrates the proposed landscaping for the site. The Commercial /Light Industrial zone requires c: \my docs\Foster Golf Course Clubhouse \DRstaffpt.doc 6 Staff Report to the BAR L02 -040 Foster Golf Links Clubhouse 12.5 -feet of landscaping at the front of the site. The site plan indicates there is 10 z feet of existing landscaping between the inside edge of the sidewalk and the = I-= parking area. An additional 2 %2 feet is required by the Zoning Code in the area w zoned C /LI. The front landscaping will remain 10 feet in the LDR zoned portion m of the site. The landscape plan also does not reflect the type of existing -1 vo landscaping that is found in the front, which is required by the code. No other N 0 landscaping is required except for fifteen square feet of landscaping for each J I p arking stall. Additional landscaping is provided around the new clubhouse to cn u_ enhance the overall appearance. A landscaping feature is the focus of the entrance to the site, a circular island that will be planted with seasonal color. tL The clubhouse is sited at the edge of the golf course that consists of manicured i w greens and existing vegetation of shrubs and trees. The clubhouse will be Z 1 integrated into these existing vegetative features. The kitchen service delivery z o area is adjacent to a covered patio area that serves the conference room. The w w service delivery area will be screened from the covered patio by an evergreen n o hedge of Wax Myrtles. The golf cart area on the north side of the building will be v co screened by landscaping as well. Deliveries for the pro -shop will take place in the o I— golf cart staging area. The landscaping in the reconfigured parking lot has been z v brought into compliance with the City's landscaping requirements (15 square feet „ of landscaping per parking stall). Where possible, the Parks and Recreation w z Department will re -use the existing trees that will be removed from the parking U lot in other park sites. 0 I-- . z The lighting in the parking area and circulation areas is designed to remain on- site. Lighting is mounted on twelve -foot poles that have been placed around four sides of the building for pedestrian circulation in the pathways. These poles are also located on the pedestrian path between the building and the parking lot. The main entry proposes to use ground- mounted lighting to highlight site access. There is perimeter "up and down" lighting on the Interurban side of the building. See Attachment B for the site's lighting plan. An arborist evaluated the condition of the historic Foster maple tree and provided tree protection measures to be observed during construction. These measures are folded into the conditions applied through the shoreline substantial development permit and the tree cutting permit. The applicant will be required to retain the Port Orford cedar tree. This will require reconfiguring the parking in that area. c: \my docs \Foster Golf Course Clubhouse \DRstaffrpt.doc 7 Staff Report to the BAR L02 -040 Foster Golf Links Clubhouse 4. Building Design. A. Architectural style is not restricted, evaluation of a project should be based on quality of its design and relationship to its surroundings; B. Buildings should be to appropriate scale and in harmony with permanent neighboring developments; C. Building components such as windows, doors, eaves, and parapets should have good proportion and relationship to one another. Building components and ancillary parts shall be consistent with anticipated Life of the structure; D. Colors should be harmonious with bright or brilliant colors used only for accent; E. Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware on roof, ground or buildings should be screened from view; F. Exterior lighting should be part of the architectural concept. Fixtures, standards, and all exposed accessories should be harmonious with building design; G. Monotony of design in single or multiple buildings projects should be avoided. Variety of detail, form and siting should be used to provide visual interest. Response: The building design is typical of a farmhouse, a structure common to the South King County area and representative of an economic activity that was common in the Tukwila area for many years. The treatment of the roof lines and windows is meant to convey a structure that was "added -on" to, like many farm houses that were enlarged over the years to accommodate expanding families. The low slope of the roof is broken up with the use of dormers. The scale of the one -story building fits with the surrounding golf course and the multifamily development across Interurban Avenue South. The materials to be used include vinyl siding for the upper portion of the walls, with fieldstones used on the lower portion of the walls to lend farm house character to the structure. The color palate is a blend of harmonious earth tones: a buttery-beige color for the vinyl siding, with light red and tan sandstone color for the fieldstone. The roofing materials will be composite shingles of brown/gold. Vinyl awnings will be used over the windows to draw attention to the commercial components of this project — the restaurant, lounge, and meeting room. The color used for the awning is terra cotta. The roof mounted mechanical equipment is on the east side of the building, away from the street and will be designed to be consistent with the chimney design (see west building elevation for illustration). The majority of the mechanical equipment is located on the ground to avoid appearance issues and screened by landscaping. The lighting features of the project are discussed under #3 above. c: \my does \Foster Golf Course Clubhouse \DRstaffrpt.doc 8 Staff Report to the BAR L02 -040 Foster Golf Links Clubhouse 5. Miscellaneous structures and Street Furniture. A. Miscellaneous structures and street furniture should be designed to be part of the architectural concept of design and landscape; B. Lighting in connection with miscellaneous structures and street furniture should meet the guidelines applicable to site, landscape and buildings. Response: There will be an outdoor barbeque on the east side of the structure on the patio and will be designed with similar materials as the main building. A bicycle rack is provided to the left of the building entrance, adjacent to the handicapped parking. The location and design of signage has not been determined as yet. Approval of the signage can either be an administrative decision or can be brought back to the Board of Architectural Review when its design and location is determined. CONCLUSIONS 1. Relationship of Structure to Site: The new clubhouse is located on a major arterial in Tukwila. It will be approximately 140 -feet back from the street, with that area used for on -site parking. This provides an appropriate transition from the busy thoroughfare to the recreational facility. The parking area will be landscaped as required by the City's landscape code. The streetscape will not change measurably from what currently exists. The service areas for the kitchen and the pro -shop are screened from the street by the intervening parking lot and landscaping. The height and scale of the clubhouse, with a building height that ranges from 30 -40 feet, fits with the surrounding golf course open space and the multi - family housing across the street. 2. Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area: The one - story, farm house style building is consistent with the character of the surrounding neighborhood, which consists of three -story multifamily housing and a METRO park and ride across Interurban Avenue South on the west and the Green River on the remaining three sides. Compatibility with vehicle and pedestrian circulation is maintained by this project as the main entrance is being moved approximately 100 feet south and a second access added at the south end of the site to improve both emergency access as well as vehicle access. Delivery areas are separated from pedestrian travel ways. The sidewalk/trail along Interurban will remain for pedestrian and bicycle use. Only docs \Foster Golf Course Clubhouse \DRstaffrpt.doc 9 Staff Report to the BAR L02 -040 Foster Golf Links Clubhouse 3. Landscape and Site Treatment: Landscaping is provided around the new clubhouse to enhance its overall appearance and integrate it into the surrounding green space of the golf course. A circular island, which will be planted with seasonal color will form a landscaping focal point at the entrance to the new clubhouse. The C /LI zone requires 12.5 feet of Type 1 landscaping along the front of the site; only 10 feet is provided along the entire frontage. For the C /LI portion of the site, the applicant will be required to provide 12.5 feet of landscaping. The landscaping along the entire frontage will be enhanced to comply with Type 1 requirements. The service area on the south side of the building is screened by an evergreen hedge of Wax Myrtles from the adjacent patio and from view of the street by additional landscaping. The pro - shop delivery area is also screened by landscaping. Twelve -foot pole lighting will be provided in the parking lot and for outdoor circulation along the pedestrian path. Ground mounted lighting will be used to highlight the entrance to the building. 4. Building Design: The building design is typical of farmhouses found throughout South King County in the 19 and early 20 Century. The building is designed to have the appearance of being "added on to" over the years. The materials being used are vinyl siding and fieldstone on the outer walls. The proposed colors are harmonious earth tone with terra cotta colored awnings used to accent the commercial components of the project. The roofing materials will be composite shingles of brown/gold tones, which blends with the other building materials. The roof mounted mechanical equipment is on the east side of the roof to screen it as much as possible from view. The mechanical equipment. has been designed to resemble the chimney features by using fieldstone as part of the construction materials. 5. Miscellaneous Structures and Street Furniture: A bicycle rack is provided at the northern end the building near the golf cart area. An outdoor barbeque will be located on the east side of the structure. Building and site signage has not been determined as yet. c: \my docs\Foster Golf Course Clubhouse \DRstaffrpt.doc 1 0 z .

Gilles 4 2 5- 8 2 2 - 4 9 9 4 SUBJECT: EVALUATION OF LARGE PORT ORFORD CEDAR TREE AT FOSTER GOLF LINKS As you requested, while at the Foster Golf Links site on November 1, 2002, I also evaluated the large Port Orford Cedar tree that is just to the southwest of the Foster Memorial Tree. Specifically you asked me to evaluate the tree for health and structure and to inform you if its condition warranted retention during your upcoming expansion/development project. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The tree is in good health and vigor. There is included bark between the trunks from the ground up four feet. This potentially weak structure can cause failure during severe adverse weather events. If left alone, the tree could survive for several more decades. The tree has a 60 to 65% chance of long term survival of the construction is limited to the current boundaries of the existing parking lot and access road. An additional factor to consider, however, is that, while the Port Orford cedar is healthy, it is competing with the Foster Memorial tree for resources such as water, nutrients, sunlight, and canopy space. Removal of the cedar will improve the long -term health of the Foster Memorial tree, as long as the tree protection measures that are delineated in my previous report, dated November 14, 2002, are followed to protect the Foster Memorial Tree from damage. METHODOLOGY: To evaluate the tree and to prepare the report, I drew upon my 20+ years of experience in the field and my formal education in Natural Resources Management, Dendrology, Forest Ecology, Plant Identification, and Plant Physiology. I also followed the protocol of the Fax: 425 - 822 -6314 E -mail: bkgilles @aol.com 12823 NE 107th Place Kirkland, WA 98033 42:Z..101.

This is a scientifically based process to look at the entire site, the surrounding land and the soil, as well as a complete look at the trees themselves. In examining the tree, I looked at such factors as: size, vigor, crown ratio and class, z density of needles, injury, insect activity, root damage and root collar health, crown ? z health, evidence of disease causing bacteria, fungi or virus, dead wood and hanging w 2 w limbs. While no one can predict with absolute certainty which trees will or will not fail, 6 we can, by using this scientific process, assess which trees are most likely to fail and take C.) o appropriate action to minimize injury and damage. w w I - - The tree was tagged and numbered tree #2. The tag is made of shiny aluminum, w w 0 approximately 1 inch by 3 inches in size, and is attached to the tree with a short g galvanized nail. The use of galvanized nails was to minimize rusting and streaking. g _, Short nails were used so that they would not penetrate through the bark into the vascular u cambium and potentially introduce pathogens. The tag was placed as high as possible to I-- W minimize its removal. The tag was placed on the backside of the tree as inconspicuously z F. as possible so as to not draw attention. z o W w 2 o GENERAL SITE NOTES: p S2 The tree is located between Interurban Avenue South and the Green River in the Foster Golf Linksin a small patch of lawn with two other trees and some shrubs. The lawn area = v is just north of the existing house, which is scheduled for demolition. The lawn area is L 1:: bordered on the west by an existing parking lot that is slightly higher in elevation than the w z co lawn itself. There is an access road the curves around the lawn area to the north and east. U The Foster Memorial Tree is located just 38 feet away. p I- z There is a small shrub hedge between the Cedar tree and the parking lot that is four feet to the west. OBSERVATIONS: • The tree is a Port Orford Cedar, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana that is forked at four feet above the ground. The trunk diameters, measured the standard 4.5 feet above the ground are 10.5, 25.7, and 22.3 inches in diameter. • The canopy: o The shape of the canopy is generally symmetrical in shape and weight distribution around the trunks. o The foliage is dense for the species indicating a high level of vigor. o The live canopy is approximately 95% of the entire tree height indicating good health and vigor. o The crown, the top 10 to 15% of the canopy, is healthy and strong. This also indicates a high level of health and vigor. Evaluation of Port Orford Cedar Foster Golf Links November 14, 2002 Page 2 of 5 • The trunks are typical for the species: o As noted above, the trunk forks at four feet above the ground. • There is some included bark between two of the trunks that could indicate an internal structural weakness. o The trunks are straight above the fork. o There is a wound on the 25.7 -inch trunk with a rot pocket. • The rot appears to be well compartmentalized and does not appear to extend into the rest of the tree. • With the use of binoculars, I observed the main trunks and major branches. No insect infestations or woodpecker activity was observed. • The tree appears to have adequate solid wood to support itself at this time and has the potential to survive one or more decades into the future. o The root collar has no apparent defects, no apparent fungal or bacterial infections, and no observable insect infestations. o The parking lot was installed within five feet of the base of the tree. However, the tree appears to have adjusted to the loss of root zone and has recovered well. GENERAL HEALTH CONCLUSIONS: The tree is in good health and structure considering its age and the installation of the parking lot and access road. The tree has potentially many decades of life left and is worthy of extra effort to maintain during expansion of the parking lots and other improvements planned for the golf course. However, as noted earlier, while the Port Orford cedar is healthy, it is competing with the Foster Memorial tree for resources such as water, nutrients, sunlight, and canopy space. Removal of the cedar will improve the long -term health of the Foster Memorial tree, as long as the tree protection measures that are delineated in my previous report, dated November 14, 2002, are followed to protect the Foster Memorial Tree from damage. WAIVER OF LIABILITY: There are many conditions affecting a tree's health and stability which may be present and cannot be ascertained, such as, root rot, previous or unexposed construction damage, internal cracks, stem rot and more which may be hidden. Changes in circumstances and conditions can also cause a rapid deterioration of a tree's health and stability. While I have used every reasonable means to examine these trees, this evaluation represents my opinion of the tree health at this point in time. These findings do not guarantee future safety nor are they predictions of future events. As conditions change is the responsibility of the property owners to schedule additional site visits by the necessary professionals to ensure that the long -term success of the project is ensured. It is the responsibility of the property owner to obtain all required Evaluation of Port Orford Cedar Foster Golf Links November 14, 2002 Page 3 of 5 permits from the city, county, stated, or federal agencies. It is the responsibility of the property owner to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and permit conditions. Thank you for calling Gilles Consulting for your arboricultural needs.

Trees 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 are in poor • to fair condition. Trees 5 and 12 are in good condition. However, all of the Redwood • trees have suffered significant root loss during the construction of the parking lots and retaining wall. The resultant damage often causes significant root rot that can take decades to manifest itself. Given the genetics of these trees that grow to such immense size, I do recommend that all ten of these trees be removed.

Gilles 4 2 5- 8 2 2 - 4 9 9 4 As you requested, I returned to the Foster Golf Links site yesterday to evaluate the condition of the row of Redwood trees and the two Blue Spruce trees. Specifically you asked me to evaluate the trees and to inform you if their condition warranted their retention during your upcoming expansion/development project. METHODOLOGY: To evaluate the trees and to prepare the report, I drew upon my 20+ years of experience in the field and my formal education in Natural Resources Management, Dendrology, Forest Ecology, Plant Identification, and Plant Physiology.

Please refer to Attachment 1 Tree Inventory /Condition Spreadsheet, for the details of the evaluation of each tree. There is a brief legend at the top of page one explaining the headings and contents of the spreadsheet. The descriptions were left brief on the spreadsheet in an effort to include as much pertinent information as possible, to make the report manageable, and to not bore the reader with infinite levels of detail. A more complete description of the headings and terms used within the report is included in Attachment 2 Glossary /Terms Used in This Report and Their. A brief review of these terms and descriptions will allow the reader to rapidly move through the spreadsheet and understand the information. SUMMARY /CONCLUSIONS: Trees 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, and 11 are in poor or fair condition. Trees 5 and 12 are in good condition. It is obvious, however, that large roots were cut and damaged at some time in Foster Golf Links Evaluation of Spruce and Redwood Trees November 20, 2002 Page 2 of 9 the past to install the parking lot and retaining wall. Coast Redwood trees are the largest trees in North America and can grow for thousands of years in their native habitats. Leaving these giant trees in such a small planter may be inviting catastrophic failure in the future due to lack of adequate root space and the root rot caused from previous construction damage. Therefore, I recommend removal of all ten trees. WAIVER OF LIABILITY: There are many conditions affecting a tree's health and stability which may be present and cannot be ascertained, such as, root rot, previous or unexposed construction damage, internal cracks, stem rot and more which may be hidden. Changes in circumstances and conditions can also cause a rapid deterioration of a tree's health and stability.

Brian K. Gilles t Date: November 19. 2002 ATTACHMENT 2: GLOSSARY/TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT, ON THE SPREAD SHEET AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE: In an effort to clearly present the information for each tree in a manner that facilitates the reader's ability to understand the conclusions I have drawn for each tree, I have collected the information onto a spreadsheet format. These descriptions were left brief on the spreadsheet in an effort to include as much pertinent information as possible, to make the report manageable, and, to not bore the reader with infinite levels of detail. This is an evaluation of tree health, vigor, and the proposed land use at the site where the tree is grown. A brief review of these terms and descriptions will allow the reader to rapidly move through the spreadsheet and understand the information. 1) TREE # - -the individual number of each tree. 2) SPECIES —This describes the species of each tree with both most readily accepted common name and the officially accepted scientific name. 3) DBH— Diameter Breast Height. This is the standard measurement of trees taken at 4.5 feet above the average ground level of the tree trunk. Occasionally it is not practical to measure a tree at 4.5 feet above the ground. The most representative area of the trunk near 4.5 feet is then measured and noted on the spreadsheet. For instance, a tree that forks at 4.5 feet can have an unusually large swelling at that point. The measurement is taken below the swelling and noted as, `28.4" at 36 "'. 4) % LCR— Percentage of Live Crown Ratio. The relative proportion of green crown to overall tree height. This is an important indication of a tree's health. If a tree has a high percentage of Live Crown Ratio, it is likely producing enough photosynthetic activity to support the tree. If a tree has less than 30 to 40% LCR it can create a shortage of needed energy. 5) SYMMETRY —is the description of the form of the tree. That is, the balance or overall shape of the tree and crown. This is the place I list any major defects in the tree shape —does the tree have all its foliage on one side or in one unusual area. Symmetry can be important if there are additional defects in the tree such as rot pockets, cracks, loose roots, weak crown etc. Symmetry is generally categorized as Generally Symmetrical, Minor Asymmetry or Major Asymmetry: i) Gen. Sym.— Generally Symmetrical. The tree is generally even on all sides with spacing of scaffold branches typical for the species, both vertical and radial. ii) Min. Asym. —Minor Asymmetry. The tree has a slightly irregular shape but appears to be no problem for the tree. iii) Maj. Asym. —Major Asymmetry. The tree has a highly irregular shape for the species and it can have a significant impact on the tree's stability, health and hazard potential. 6) BRANCH/FOLIAGE are important indications of a tree's health and vigor. First the branch growth and foliage density is described, and then any signs or symptoms of stress and /or disease are noted. i) For Deciduous trees in the dormant season: Foster Golf Links Evaluation of Spruce and Redwood Trees November 20, 2002 Page 5 of 9 (1) The structure of the tree is visible, (2) The quantity and quality of bud set indicates health, and is described as good bud set, average bud set, or poor bud set, (3) The amount of annual shoot elongation is visible and is described as Excellent, Good, Average, Fair, or short shoot elongation. ii) For evergreen trees year round and deciduous trees in leaf, the color and density of the needles or leaves indicates if the tree is healthy or stressed, or if an insect infestation, a bacterial, fungal, or viral infection is present. Foliage is categorized on a scale from: (1) Dense — extremely thick foliage, an indication of healthy vigorous growth, (2) Good —thick foliage, thicker than average for the species, (3) Normal/Average —thick foliage, average for the species, an indication of healthy growth, (4) Thin or Thinning— needles and leaves becoming less dense so that sunlight readily passes through; an indication that the tree is under serious stress that could impact the long -term survivability and safety of the tree, (5) Sparse —few leaves or needles on the twigs, an indication that the tree is under extreme stress and could indicate the future death of the tree iii) Necrosis —the presence of dead twigs and branchlets. This is another significant indication of tree health. A few dead twigs and branches are reasonably typical in most trees of size. However, if there are dead twigs and branchlets all over a certain portion of the tree, or all over the tree, these are indications of stress or attack that can have an impact on the tree's long -term health. iv) SSE —Short Shoot Elongation. This is an indication of the tree's overall health and vigor. A healthy tree will have average or longer annual shoot elongation. Trees under stress will have short annual shoots. v) Winter Evaluation of Deciduous Trees: (1) When the leaves are off the deciduous trees it is a good time to look at the structure of the tree, especially the crown. (2) It is also a time to evaluate the degree of bud set and annual shoot elongation. These are significant indicators of the health and vigor of the tree. (a) Bud set is described as "Excellent, Good, Average, Fair, or Poor." (b) Annual Shoot Elongation is described as "Excellent, Average, or Short." 7) CROWN CONDITION —The condition of the tree's crown is a reflection of the overall health and vigor of the entire tree. i) CROWN —The uppermost portion of the tree. Generally considered that part above the main trunk in deciduous trees and above the secondary bark in evergreen trees. ii) If the Crown Condition is healthy and strong, this is a good sign. If the crown condition is weak, broken out, or shows other signs of decline, it is an indication that the tree is under stress. It is such an important indication of health and vigor that this is the first place a trained forester or arborist looks to Foster Golf Links Evaluation of Spruce and Redwood Trees November 20, 2002 Page 6 of 9 begin the evaluation of a tree. Current research reveals that, by the time trees with root rot show significant signs of decline in the crown, fully 50% or more of the roots have already rotted away. Crown Condition can be described as: (1) Healthy Crown — exceptional growth for the species. (2) Average Crown — typical for the species. (3) Weak Crown —thin spindly growth with thin or sparse needles. (4) Flagging Crown — describes a tree crown that is weak and unable to grow straight up. (5) Dead —crown has died due to pathological or physical injury. The tree is considered to have significant stress and /or weakness if the crown is dead. (6) Broken out —a formerly weak crown condition that has been broken off by adverse weather conditions or other mechanical means. (7) Regenerated or Regenerating — formerly broken out crowns that are now growing back, Regenerating crowns may appear healthy or weak and indicate current health of the tree. iii) HANGERS —A term to describe a large branch or limb that has broken off but is still hanging up in the tree. These can be particularly dangerous in adverse weather conditions. iv) SUPPRESSED —a term to describe poor condition of an entire tree or just the crown. Suppressed trees are generally trees that are smaller and growing in the shade of larger trees around them. They generally have thin or sparse needles, weak or missing crowns, are prone to insect attack as well as bacterial and fungal infections. 8) TRUNK —this is the area I note any defects that can have an impact on the tree's stability or hazard potential. Typical things noted are: i) FORKED — bifurcation of branches or trunks that often occur at a narrow angle. ii) INCLUDED BARK —a pattern of development at branch or trunk junctions where bark is turned inward rather than pushed out. This is a serious defect in a tree that can and often does lead to failure of one or more of the branches or trunks. iii) EPICORMIC GROWTH —this is generally seen as dense thick growth near the trunk of a conifer tree. Although this looks like a healthy condition, it is in fact the opposite. Trees with Epicormic Growth has used their reserve stores of energy in a last ditch effort to produce photosynthetic surface area to produce more sugars, starches and carbohydrates to support the continued growth of the tree. Generally speaking, when conifers in the Pacific Northwest exhibit heavy amounts of Epicormic Growth, they are not producing enough food to support their current mass and are already in serious decline. iv) INTERNAL STRUCTURAL WEAKNESS —a physical characteristic of the tree trunk, such as a kink or a crack or a rot pocket that predisposes the tree trunk to failure at the point of the weakness. v) BOWED —a gradual curve of the trunk. This can indicate an Internal Structural Weakness or an overall weak tree. Foster Golf Links Evaluation of Spruce and Redwood Trees November 20, 2002 Page 7 of 9 • vi) KINKED —a sharp angle in the tree trunk that indicates that the normal growth pattern is disrupted. Generally this means that the internal fibers and annual rings are weaker than straight trunks and prone to failure, especially in adverse weather conditions. vii) GROUND FLOWER —an area of deformed bark near the base of a tree trunk that indicates long -term root rot. 9) ROOT COLLAR —This is the area where the trunk enters the soil and the buttress roots flare out away from the trunk into the soil. It is here that signs of rot, decay, insect infestation, fungal or bacterial infection are noted. NAD stands for No Apparent Defects. 10) Roots —Any abnormalities or girdling roots —roots that wrap around the tree itself that strangle the cambium layer and kill the tree, are noted here. 11) COMMENTS —This is the area I note any additional information that would not fit in the previous boxes or attributes about the tree that have bearing on the health and structure of the tree. 12) CURRENT HEALTH ASSESSMENT —A description of the tree's general health rating from dead, poor, fair, good, to excellent. 13) STATUS/RECOMMENDATION —This is an estimate of whether or not the tree is off sufficient health, vigor, and structure that it is worth consideration of retention. NOTE: TREES WITH THE SAME DESCRIPTION AND DIFFERENT RATINGS: Two trees may have the same descriptions in the matrix boxes, one may be marked "Significant," while another may be marked "Non- Significant." The difference is in the degree of the description. Early "necrosis" versus advanced "necrosis" for instance. Again, these descriptions were left brief in an effort to include as much pertinent information as possible, to make the report manageable, and, not to bore the reader with infinite levels of detail.

As you know, the seating capacity of the facility has been reduced slightly as the design development work has progressed. The new analysis has indicated that the parking demand will require 280 stalls for the facility, a decrease of 6 total stalls. At your direction, I will revise the site plan to reflect the total count of 280 parking stalls. Sincerely, Please contact me if you have any questions. J . �`i V ✓JI J David A.

Cultural Places Assessment, prepared by Larson Anthropological Archaeological g Services Limited (July 19, 2002) = w t— _ z � Summary of Primary Impacts: z O n o O - The soils at the proposed clubhouse site are silty sands. The site is developed as a golf course, which has slight variations in topography. The steepest slope on = w i - c the site is 37 % on an adjacent course. Approximately 8,000 cubic feet of fill LI= o and 1,600 of cut are planned as part of the construction activity. The building w z pad and surrounding area will be filled to raise the elevation to 20 feet in order U =. to be above the 100 -year flood plain. p l-- Earth The entire golf course site is 60.6 acres; the clubhouse and parking lot comprise a small portion of the overall site and will cover approximately 6% with impervious surface. Standard erosion control measures will be used during construction: silt fencing will be located along the downhill perimeter of the disturbed areas; silt protection will be placed on all existing and poposed catch basins; rock construction entrance will be installed; and a sediment pond to retain runoff will be created. Air Normal emissions and dust associated with use of construction equipment will occur during construction of the project. After construction, odors from the restaurant cooking exhaust and normal exhaust associated with vehicular traffic will occur. Water trucks will be used as needed during construction to keep the dust down. All equipment will meet local, state, and federal emission standards. This site is affected at times by odors from the rendering plant to the east. c:\mydocs \Foster Golf Course\sepa -rpt 2 rti., .rr c.�w.. z SEPA Review — E02 -020 Foster Golf Course Clubhouse November 19, 2002 Water The Green River abuts the site on three sides of the overall project site, although the construction of the clubhouse is not within the shoreline environment. The project is subject to the State Shoreline Management Act since landscaping, portions of the driveway and parking areas, and the enlargement of the retention/bioswale will be within 200 feet of the shoreline. No fill or dredge material will be placed in or removed from surface water, nor will there be any surface water or ground water withdrawals or diversions. The project site lies within the 100 -year floodplain. No discharges of waste materials to surface waters will occur. The existing storm water collection system will be revised to handle the new clubhouse and parking areas. An existing retention bioswale that is within the Low Impact Environment of the shoreline will be enlarged to handle the runoff from the enlarged parking lot and clubhouse and off -site city shops. The retention bioswale has a flapgate that prevents pond waters from going back into the storm drain system and a second flapgate between the pond's outlet and the river to prevent backwater flows from the river into the pond. The applicant has noted that the only added impact to water related to this project will come from the larger size of the parking lot and the larger building footprint size. The runoff from the city shops is an existing connection that is not being altered by this project. The detention pond is being enlarged to handle the larger on -site footprint. At the request of the Public Works department, the pond is being enlarged to handle the off site water from the shops that was previously not addressed when the original connection was made. No fuel storage area is included in the golf course project, and the applicant is not altering any method of storing, handling or use of fertilizers. The entire list of fertilizers used at the site has been approved by the City Public Works Department's Biologist for use on all areas of the course, including the areas adjacent to the river. However, this project will not house any fertilizers under any circumstances, even temporarily. The clubhouse will be connected to the City of Tukwila's sewage system. Plants The site is developed as a golf course, with manicured greens and varied vegetation. There is a windrow of cedar trees, some of which fall within the shoreline environment, that are proposed for removal. These trees are thought to have been planted in 1932 by George Eddy, at the time he constructed the house c:\mydocs \Foster Golf Course\sepa -rpt 3 SEPA Review — E02 -020 Foster Golf Course Clubhouse November 19, 2002 ttw that lies just to the east of the historic Foster Maple Tree. Those trees removed within the Low Impact shoreline environment must be replaced based on the City's Tree Ordinance (TMC 18.54). Based on the size of the trees to be removed, approximately 32 replacement trees will be required. Some of the replacement trees must be used to screen the revised parking area to the east of the historic tree, other of the replacement trees may be used to enhance the riverbank in the area adjacent to where the cedar trees are being removed. Landscaping will be provided at the front of the site, in the parking areas and around portions of the building as required by the City's Landscape Code, TMC 18.52. One comment was received by an adjacent resident in the single family neighborhood across the River objecting to the removal of the Cedar trees due to their aesthetic value and the danger of clearing and dirt movement near waterways. The City's Tree Ordinance, while encouraging retention of trees, does not prohibit their removal. As noted above, at least 32 replacement trees will be required. The historic Foster Maple Tree is located in the northwest portion of the site, adjacent to the river. This maple tree was planted by Joseph Foster, one of the original settlers in Tukwila, probably around 1873. A certified arborist has been hired to provide guidance on the protection of the tree, both during the construction activities as well as in the future after completion of the new clubhouse and supporting infrastructure. Information is not available yet as to the arborist's recommendations. A number of existing trees in the current parking lot will be removed to permit the regrading of the parking lot and relocation of the main entrance to the facility. The Technical Information Report notes that the existing paving of the driving and parking surfaces is in poor repair in part due to tree roots. There are no listed plant species in Tukwila that are threatened or endangered. The applicant notes that the trees were not considered to be retained so as to provide the most usable and accessible parking spaces close to the clubhouse. Removing these trees will reduce the amount of existing golf course and open space that must be converted to new parking space. Where reasonable tree digging is possible, the applicant states that trees located in the existing parking lot and those in the south parking lot expansion area will be dug and transplanted by Parks Department for use on other park sites. The demolition/construction period is outside the usual tree digging season so it is not feasible to transplant the trees for this project. Animals The SEPA Checklist notes that hawks and songbirds, have been observed on or near the site. The site is located along the Pacific Flyway migration route. The only mammals observed on the site are deer and rabbits. While the Checklist c: \mydocs \Foster Golf Course\sep a -rpt 4 SEPA Review — E02 -020 Foster Golf Course Clubhouse November 19, 2002 states that no fish have been observed, the National Marine Fisheries Service has recently listed the Puget Sound Chinook salmon as a threatened species. This species is known to inhabit the Green River. The applicant provided the following information related to animals on the site: "The cedar trees currently may provide some nesting opportunities for wildlife, but are not close enough to the River to provide shade. While no eagles have been observed in the vicinity during field visits, the large cedars could potentially be used for perching. After removal of the trees it is unknown whether eagles would seek alternate perch locations in other tall trees located on the golf course. As the golf course is always planting and removing trees during its six year master plan alteration, it is unlikely, but unknown, that the removal of the planned trees on the fully treed 60 acre site will cause disruption to the flyway patterns. Replacement trees are being installed on the golf course and in the parking lot. "While coastal bull trout are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, no data on file at the City of Tukwila was available that listed or identified confirming the presence of spawning or rearing bull trout within the Duwamish River. "Previous Environmental Impact statement on file at the City indicate the Puget Sound Evolutionary Significant Unit (ESU) Chinook salmon are federally - listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Reproducing populations of Puget Sound ESU Chinook salmon exist in the Duwamish River, however, the development of the clubhouse and removal of the cedar trees is not expected to have an impact on the salmon population." Energv/Natural Resources Electricity and natural gas will be used in the building for heating, lighting and cooking facilities. Diesel fuel will be used in construction equipment during construction. The project will not affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties. The building will be designed to meet the Washington State Energy Code to save energy in heating and cooling the structure. Environmental Health No special emergency services will be required as a result of the proposed project. Noise is generated by traffic along the street in front of the golf course. There are train tracks on the northeast property line. Construction noise will c: \mydocs \Foster Golf Course\sepa -rpt 5 SEPA Review — E02 -020 Foster Golf Course Clubhouse November 19, 2002 Housing Aesthetics occur during regular hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Noise from music from the restaurant and outdoor patio and the public address system for golfers, similar to existing levels, will occur once the clubhouse construction is completed and the building is open for business. z � w Land/Shoreline Uses J U U The area is the site of one of the original homesteads in Tukwila, settled by v w Joseph Foster. The site was developed as a golf course in 1925. Residential uses lie to the northeast and across Interurban Avenue South on the west. A u_ w Metro park and ride facility is also located across Interurban. City shops border the golf course on the south along with a Metro pump station. g Q A small portion of the overall golf course site is zoned Commercial /Light = w Industrial (C/LI) with the remainder zoned Low Density Residential (LDR). z = !— The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the site Commercial/Light z 0 Industrial and Low Density Residential. Half of the proposed clubhouse is w located in the C /LI area with the remainder located in LDR. The Shoreline Master Program designation is Urban and the proposal must obtain a Shoreline o c Substantial Development permit. The project is subject to review by the o �- Tukwila Board of Architectural Review, which will review the design of the i v project, proposed landscaping etc. The front property line is unclear at this o point; when the property line has been identified, front landscaping will be iii z. reflected on the landscaping plan. O The existing clubhouse, maintenance office (former George Eddy house) and . z maintenance shed will be demolished. Approximately 19 -40 people will work on the site when the project is constructed. No housing exists on the site. The former George Eddy house was used until recently as the maintenance office for the golf course. Wood siding and stone "type" veneer is proposed for the clubhouse building. The tallest portion of the structure is 40 feet, which falls within the C /LI zoned portion of the site. Golf course netting along the 18 fairway is visible from the multifamily housing on the west -side of Interurban Avenue South. The netting reaches 40 feet in height. The project is subject to design review and will be considered by the Tukwila Board of Architectural Review. c: \mydocs \Foster Golf Course\sepa -rpt 6 SEPA Review — E02 -020 Foster Golf Course Clubhouse November 19, 2002 Light/Glare The parking lot will be lit at night. The lighting in the parking lot will be directed so as to minimize any spillage off -site. There may be minimal glare from the glazing on building at certain times of the day. Recreation The site itself is developed as a golf course, with a clubhouse that includes a restaurant and lounge and a small pro -shop. The Green River Trail runs along Interurban Avenue South, the western property line of the site. Use of the trail may be disrupted during reconstruction of the parking lot. The trail will be posted prior to any construction that will disrupt or require relocation of the trail. Bicycle user groups will also be notified about any revisions to the trail. In addition, the applicant has noted the following: "The Drawings have the following note on the architectural site plans "Provide existing asphalt bike path & concrete sidewalk as required at new entrance. Contractor shall sign closure with warning signs approved by the City and shall restore smooth paved temporary paths within 48 hours of closure or as allowed by the City. Construct new entrance in strict accordance with City Standards. See civil drawings for more information. " Historic /Cultural Preservation An Archaeological Resources and Traditional Cultural Places Assessment was prepared for this site. The study determined that there may be a possible hunter - fisher- gatherer or ethnographic period campsite located on the site and that there are two historic buildings that may be significant, the current Foster Golf Links Clubhouse and George Eddy house as well as a cultural feature that may be significant, the Windrow, located on the property as well. The study recommends that the possible hunter - fisher - gatherer or ethnographic period campsite be avoided and that a professional historian inventory and if necessary evaluate the existing clubhouse, George Eddy House and Windrow for significance prior to demolition. The site also contains the Foster Maple Tree, which was planted July 4, 1873. The project will be required to have a professional archeologist on -site during any ground disturbing activities both in the area of the hunter - fisher- gatherer or ethnographic period campsite as well as any other areas where construction might intersect with undisturbed native soils. In addition, a professional historian must inventory and if necessary, evaluate the existing clubhouse, George Eddy House and Windrow for significance prior to their demolition. c: \mydocs \Foster Golf Course \sepa -rpt 7 SEPA Review — E02 -020 Foster Golf Course Clubhouse November 19, 2002 Transportation The site is served by Interurban Avenue South, which borders the property on the west. Interstate 5 and Interstate 405 are within one -half and one mile respectively of the site. The project proposes to relocate the current entrance to the site approximately 120 feet to the south and add a second entrance at the far south end of the site. The project will provide 286 parking stalls, an increase of 99 stalls over the existing 187 stalls. The site is served by transit and there is a park and ride lot across the street from the project. Public Services The construction of a larger clubhouse, with meeting space as well as enlarged restaurant and lounge will likely generate a slight increase in the need for public services such as police and fire. A fire lane will be constructed around the new clubhouse. Utilities Utilities currently available at the site include electric, natural gas, water; refuse service, telephone, storm water and sanitary sewer. No additional utilities are anticipated to be needed as a result of the building construction. Recommendation Determination of Nonsignificance, Mitigated The following conditions apply to this project: 1. Excavations into historically native soil, when in an area of archaeological potential, shall have a professional archaeologist on site to ensure that all State statutes regarding archaeological conservation/preservation are implemented. The applicant shall provide a written commitment to stop work immediately upon discovery of archaeological remains and to consult with the State Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation to assess the remains and develop appropriate treatment measures, which may include refilling the excavation. 2. A certified arborist must identify measure to protect the Foster Maple Tree, both during construction as well as after completion of the project. c:\mydocs \Foster Golf Course \sepa -rpt 8 !C:1141ikii;St.Ydd3hl�1'? _ "�Gait:S3�=� -Pa ° «dSEX�a$iS4"�,_ .

CLARK ARCHITECTS, PULL November 18, 2002 Carol Lumb Senior Planner City of Tukwila 6300 Southcenter Blvd #100 Tukwila, WA 98188 Re: Proposed Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Dear Ms. Lumb, E02 -020 SEPA ' %fi✓• A Washington Professional Limited Liability Company Licensed and Registered Architects in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, and Washington NOV 18 2002 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT In response to your letter of November 12, 2002 regarding your SEPA, Design Review, Shoreline and Special Permission Parking application comments, please find the following responses. The numbering relates directly to your initial letter. 1. Regarding item #3.a.6. Please discuss handling of parking lot runoff, runoff from the shops, carts and other equipment and handling of fertilizers, application and storage and how this may impact waters draining to the enlarged detention pond. Will there be fuel storage areas on- site? What measures are planned to handle any spills that may occur? The only added impact will come from the larger size of the parking lot and the larger building footprint size. The runoff from the city shops is an existing connection that is not being altered by this project. The detention pond is being enlarged to handle the larger on -site footprint. At the request of the Public Works department, we are also enlarging the pond to handle the off site water from the shops that was previously not addressed We are not adding a fuel storage area to the golf course, and we are not altering any method of storing, handling or use of fertilizers. The entire list of fertilizers used at the site has been approved by the City Public Works Department's Biologist for use on all areas of the course, including the areas adjacent to the river. However, this project will not house any fertilizers under any circumstances, even temporarily. 0 U N U F U • 00 OD • 0 m N • oo o ..1 • CN co 0 co 0 C7 F eUe ert N. .�i N ' November 14, 2002 Ms. Carol Lumb Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Page 2 2. Item #4 /5: Plants and Animals: This project includes removal of several large cedar trees that are part of a Windrow planted possibly at the same time that the George Eddy home was constructed. The sequoia trees being removed within the 100' Low Impact Environment shoreline boundary provide many habitat benefits, including fishery benefits. Replacement with smaller trees does not totally mitigate the removal. If these trees are ultimately removed, this project will be required to provide riverbank habitat improvements as a mitigation measure along with replacement trees as required by TMC 18.54.130 3. One Cedar tree and two spruces are identified to be removed with in the 100' Low Impact Environmental Shoreline Boundary. Two Sequoias are identified to be removed in the 200' High Impact Environmental Shoreline Boundary. It is unlikely that any of these trees will provide shading for the river habitat. Also note that the Spruce trees are not native species of Western Washington, but introduced ornamentals. 3. Item #12. It appears that construction of the parking lot will temporarily affect the location of the Green River Trail along Interurban Avenue South. Please describe how Trail users will be accommodated during construction, specifically how the Trail users will be notified of construction activity that will disrupt use of the Trail and where the Trail will be re- routed. The Drawings have the following note on the architectural site plans "Provide existing asphalt bike path & concrete sidewalk as required at new entrance. Contractor shall sign closure with warning signs approved by the City and shall restore smooth paved temporary paths within 48 hours of closure or as allowed by the City. Construct new entrance in strict accordance with City Standards. See civil drawings for more information." 4. Item 7. Environmental Health a.2., a spill response and pollution prevention plan will be required for the construction activities. The contractor shall be required to submit for approval a spill response and pollution prevention plan at the pre - construction meeting with the City. We would ask that this requirement be deferred until that time. 5. Item #13: Please provide an evaluation from a certified arborist on the impacts to the historical tree of the building demolition (George Eddy house), and any improvements to the inner driveway that provides vehicle access to parking stalls on the west side of the site. A detail on how the historic tree will be protected during construction, reviewed and approved by the arborist, must be provided. The City has already engaged an independent arborist to assist the design team in protecting the Foster tree. His report and recommendations on this question will be addressed under a separate letter. 6. The remainder of the Windrow of large sequoia trees is proposed for removal just outside the 200' shoreline boundary. Did you consider a plan that would incorporate these trees into the landscape plan? What is the impact to the overall parking for this project if the Windrow trees are retained? These trees were not considered to remain in the design process in an effort to provide the most usable and accessible parking spaces close to the clubhouse. Their removal will mitigate any further impact of parking on the Golf Course / Green Space and the Foster DAVID A. CLARK ARCHITECTS, PLLC November 14, 2002 Ms. Carol Lumb Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Page 3 Maple. Retaining these trees would require a loss of at least 36 parking spaces (4 compact and 32 standard). The following are comments or suggestions we would like to discuss: 7. Item #13: While not as old as the Foster Maple Tree, the Windrow of sequoia trees should also be included among the historical resources on the site, as they are thought to have been planted around the same time as when the George Eddy house was constructed. We have no knowledge of the Sequoia trees as historic resources. Their removal mitigates any further impact of parking on the Golf Course / Green Space and the Foster Maple. 8. As a point of information, the following responses should have been included in the SEPA Checklist: 4. Plants c. "No listed plant species in Tukwila." 5. Animals b. "Bald eagle, Chinook salmon, bull trout." 6. Animals c. Pacific flyway, migratory birds, Duwamish River anadromous salmon Please let me know if you would like me to revise the SEPA Checklist L02 -044: Shoreline Substantial Development Permit Application The following information must be provided for review of the shoreline permit: 1. A flood control zone application is required along with the shoreline permit. A copy of this permit is attached. This application must be completed and submitted before the Shoreline Substantial Development permit can be issued. Attached please find the Flood Control Application as requested. 2. Item 4: The shoreline application must discuss the habitat impacts to the shoreline environment of the removal of the cedar trees. One Cedar and one Blue Spruce are located with in 100' from the River edge, and one Blue Spruce is located 70' from the River edge. It is unlikely that these trees are capable of casting shadows or causing significant impact to the river habitat. 3. Item 5: Water that is discharged to the detention pond will be collected from a variety of sources, including fertilized greens and areas where leakage from vehicles is possible (parking lots, shops). What impacts will this have on the water that discharges to the Duwamish River? The only added impact will come from the larger size of the parking lot and the larger building footprint size. The runoff from the city shops is an existing connection that is not being altered by this project. The detention pond is being enlarged to handle the larger on- site footprint. At the request of the Public Works department, we are also enlarging the pond to handle the off site water from the shops that was previously not addressed. We are not adding a fuel storage area to the golf course, and we are not altering any method of storing, handling or use offertilizers. The entire list offertilizers used at the site has been approved by the City Public Works Department's Biologist for use on all areas of the course, DAVID A. CLARK ARCHITECTS, PLLC November 14, 2002 Ms. Carol Lumb Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Page 4 including the areas adjacent to the river. This project will not alter the method, amount or frequency of delivery of fertilizer. z 4. Item 7: This area is along the Pacific Flyway and bald eagle, Chinook salmon and bull trout area listed z protected species that are found in the vicinity. How will these habitats be impacted by the Ce g development and how will the habitat be protected? -I The cedar trees currently may provide some nesting opportunities for wildlife, but are not v o close enough to the River to provide shade'. While no eagles have been observed in the w w �_ vicinity during field visits, the large cedars could potentially be used for perching. After u' removal of the trees it is unknown whether eagles would seek alternate perch locations in w 0 0 other tall trees located on the golf course. As the golf course is always planting and removing trees during its six year master plan alteration, it is unlikely, but unknown, that the u_ Q removal of the planned trees on the fully treed 60 acre site will cause disruption to the flyway u a patterns. Replacement trees are being installed on the golf course and in the parking lot. t _ z While coastal bull trout are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, no data I.- O on file at the City of Tukwila was available that listed or identified confirming the presence of 2 n spawning or rearing bull trout within the Duwamish River.' v N O— 0 H Previous Environmental Impact statement on file at the City indicate the Puget Sound = w Evolutionary Significant Unit (ESU) Chinook salmon are federally - listed as threatened under 1- the Endangered Species Act. Reproducing populations of Puget Sound ESU Chinook salmon u O z exist in the Duwamish River', however, the development of the clubhouse and removal of the di cn cedar trees is not expected to have an impact on the salmon population. o 1 z 5. The application is missing a narrative that addresses the relevant Tukwila Comprehensive Plan shoreline policies. A copy of these policies is attached. Please review and address Goals 5.6, 5.8, 5.9 and 5.10. Goal 5.10 should be addressed particularly as it relates to the enlarged detention pond on the site and the source of the storm water that will flow there. Please see attached for Comprehensive Plan narrative. 6. Did the project designers consider trying to reuse or somehow save the many trees that are in the existing parking lot? Some of them appear distressed, but for the most part, they are mature trees that would provide a lot more benefit right off the bat than replacement trees. Where reasonable tree digging is possible trees located in the existing parking lot and those in the south parking lot expansion area will be dug and transplanted by Parks Department for use on other park sites. As the demolition /construction period is outside the usual tree digging season, it is not feasible to transplant the trees for this project. DAVID A. CLARK ARCHITECTS, PLLC November 14, 2002 Ms. Carol Lumb Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Page 5 DAVID A. CLARK ARCHITECTS, PLLC L02 -040: Design Review Application The following code requirements have not been addressed: Z 1. The Landscape Plan is missing planting note details for the trees and shrubs. In addition, the plant lists i z include size notations that may be in error. For example, the shade trees are listed as 2.5' (foot) cc g caliper, when 2.5" (inch) caliper probably is intended. Please review the sizes of the plans listed and 6 v adjust as appropriate. (TMC 18.52.050) v co o Corrections to the font have been made for clarification. The landscape plan has been w= re vised to reflect changes. —I F u) LL , w 2. Please clarify the front property line location and whether perimeter landscaping is provided on the 2 front of the site along Interurban Avenue. The Zoning Code requires 12 1/2 feet of Type I landscaping w a to screen the parking area. Type I landscaping requires one tree for each 30 lineal feet (these are c = a already planted along the frontage), one shrub for each 7 lineal feet (evergreen and deciduous) and i _ living groundcover to cover 90% of the landscape area within three years. (TMC 18.52.050) ? (- Existing vegetation along the Interurban frontage to remain unless identified otherwise. z O Landscape plans indicate any disturbed planting along the frontage to be replaced. The 2 m landscape plan has been revised to reflect these changes. The delineation of the exact o property line is unknown to the City at this time. A surveyor has been engaged to provide a o final determination. Please note the proposed parking lot does not encroach any closer to the w w right -of way (and existing landscaping, bike trail and sidewalk) than the existing parking lot. 1 `!- o 3. No quantities are specified for the proposed groundcovers nor are symbols specified to identify what Cu u u) i groundcovers will be planted where. These are required by the landscape code (TMC 18.52.050) P. - The landscape plan has been revised to reflect ground cover planting symbols and quantities. z 4. No irrigation plan has been provided for the landscaping. (TMC 18.52.050) An irrigation plan is included as a part of the re- submittal. 5. Please provide an elevation detail for the foundation/landscape island in the front of the building. What typical seasonal plants will be planted, particularly in the winter? The center planter is a `fountain" offlowers and is strictly annuals planted for seasonal color. There is no structure or water in the island The landscape plan has been revised for clarification of this item. Typical plants for winter would be Ornamental Cabbage, Ornamental Kale, and Winter Pansies. Other seasons would include bulbs, summer and fall annuals and perennials. 6. Wheel stops must be provided on the perimeter landscaping. (TMC 18.56.7.e.). The site plan has been revised to reflect the required wheelstops. Please let me know how many copies of the revised plan to submit. 7. Bicycle parking must be provided (1 space per 50 parking stalls). (TMC 18.56.130) The site plan has been revised to reflect the required bike parking. November 14, 2002 Ms. Carol Lumb Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Page 6 8. Where will garbage and recycling be collected? The collection area should be noted on either the landscape plan, with screening details noted, or on the site plan. The site plan does indicate the screened garbage /recycling enclosure55' south of the building adjacent to the 18th green. 9. At least one designated loading area is required. (TMC 18.56.060) Please identify where this space will be located on the site plan. The loading area is shown on the site plan on the service /fire lane at the south end of the building, between the building and the 18 green. 10. No information about proposed signage was submitted other than the notation on the building elevations as to possible locations for signage on the building. The BAR reviews and approved signage as part of design review. If signage design is not available for review now, it can be submitted at a future time for BAR review and approval. The setback for the free standing sign is taken from the front property line. We would like to defer this submittal to a future date. The following are comments and suggestions we would like to discuss with you: 11. The window treatments and sizes vary on the west elevation — some windows appear to have shutters and are wider than others. Is there a reason for the differences in the window sizes /treatments? If not, please revise the design to provide a consistent size of windows. As we discussed, the style of the elevations and the treatment of the fenestration underwent extreme scrutiny by the city, the Mayor and the council. The resulting design is a farmhouse vernacular, very common in the south King County area. A significant element in this style is the "add -on" look of the building, giving the appearance that the building was constructed in phases. The varying sizes of dormer windows is a significant element of this design. 12. The western elevation is dominated by the roof appearance. Can you revise the design of the projecting roof over the meeting rooms to provide a gable treatment similar to that shown on the north or south elevations? As we discussed, the style of the elevations and the treatment of the roof lines underwent extreme scrutiny by the city, the Mayor and the council. The resulting design is a farmhouse vernacular, very common in the south King County area. A significant element in this style is the "add -on" look of the building, giving the appearance that the building was constructed in phases. The varying types of roof lines is also significant element of this design. 13. The Fire Department had commented that the shade trees at the main drive may need to be field adjusted to ensure ladder truck access to the clubhouse. Understood DAVID A. CLARK ARCHITECTS, PLLC November 14, 2002 Ms. Carol Lumb Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Page 7 14. The tree cutting plan indicates that two parking stalls will be located at the far northern end of the site. The landscape plan does not identify these two stalls. Which plan is correct? Since there is a historical marker just north of these two parking stalls, did you consider some kind of linkage between historic maple tree and this marker? The landscaping plans are correct. The site plan will be revised to reflect that change. Special Permission Parking 1. Please explain what is meant by "demand loads," which is the basis for determining the number of additional parking stalls needed. How is it that the "demand loads" indicates such a higher need for parking stalls Does the "demand load" method use gross square footage rather than usable square footage as the basis for its calculations? As we discussed, the "demand load" is a based on a scenario of situations that are likely to occur at a golf course and restaurant facility. The scenario that created the greatest "demand load" was one that had a Friday afternoon shotgun golf tournament, a 7 PM wedding reception and a full restaurant and lounge. 2. The chart for Concept A states that no parking is required for the Pro Shop. Parking is required for accessory uses — and in this case, retail uses require 2.5 parking stalls for each 1,000 square feet of usable floor area. The parking study did not take into account the parking for the retail as the facility is not a "destination" type of retail store. It primarily serves only those patrons who are already on site (golfers, and perhaps the occasional restaurant patron). Retail staff parking requirements were, in fact, taken into account. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. erely, avid A.

Wheel stops must be provided on the perimeter landscaping. (TMC 18.56.7.e.) 7. Bicycle parking must be provided (1 space per 50 parking stalls). (TMC18.56.130) 8. Where will garbage and recycling be collected? The collection area should be noted on either the landscape plan, with screening details noted, or on the site plan. 9. At least one designated loading area is required. (TMC 18.56.060) Please identify where this space will be located on the site plan. 10. No information about proposed signage was submitted other than the notation on the building elevations as to possible locations for signage on the building. The BAR reviews and approves signage as part of design review. If signage design is not available for review now, it can be submitted at a future time for BAR review and approval. The setback for the free standing sign is taken from the front property line. The following are comments or suggestions we would like to discuss with you: 11. The window treatments and sizes vary on the west elevation — some windows appear to have shutters and are wider than others. Is there a reason for the differences in the window sizes /treatments? If not, please revise the design to provide a consistent size of windows. 12. The western elevation is dominated by the roof appearance. Can you revise the design of the projecting roof over the meeting rooms to provide a gable treatment similar to that shown on the north or south elevations? 13. The Fire Department has commented that the shade trees at the main drive may need to be field adjusted to ensure ladder truck access to the new clubhouse. 14. The tree cutting plan indicates that two parking stalls will be located at the far northern end of the site. The landscape plan does not identify these two stalls. Which plan is correct? Since there is a historical marker just north of these two parking stalls, did you consider some kind of linkage between the historic maple tree and this marker? c: \mydocs \Foster Golf Course Clubhouse \Technical Comments Ltr.doc 3 1•4 *1 !rnn4 Mr. David A.

Mullet, Mayor Your application for a shoreline substantial development permit for the proposed Foster Golf Links Clubhouse located at 13500 Interurban Avenue South has been found to be complete on October 2, 2002 for the purposes of meeting state mandated time requirements. The other land use files related to the new clubhouse were found to be complete on September 23, 2002 (L02 -040, L02 -045, E02- 020, MIO2 -154). The project has been tentatively scheduled for a public hearing before the Tukwila Board of Architectural Review on December 12, 2002, although we will have a clearer idea on the scheduling of the public hearing once the first round of technical review is completed. The next step is for you to install the notice board on the site within 14 days of the date of this letter. You received information on how to install the sign with your application packet. If you need another set of those instructions, please call me. Once you have notified me that the notice board has been installed you will need to post it with a laminated copy of the Notice of Application and the comment period will start. Please call me 2 days prior to installing the sign so that I can prepare the Notice of Application and the mailing materials. After installing the sign with the laminated notice, please return the signed Affidavit of Posting to our office. This determination of complete application does not preclude the ability of the City to require that you submit additional plans or information, if in our estimation such information is necessary to ensure the project meets the substantive requirements of the City or to complete the review process. If the City finds additional plans or information is needed, then additional review time will be necessary to process your permit application. The precise amount of additional review time which may be needed will be the number of days between the date of this letter and the submission of the additional information. This notice of complete application applies only to the permits identified above. It is your responsibility to apply for and obtain all necessary permits issued by other agencies. There may be permits from other agencies required which we have not identified. I will be contacting you soon to discuss this project.

The following applications have been determined to be complete: L02 -040, Design Review, E02 -020, SEPA, L02 -045, Special Permission Parking, and MIO2 -154, Tree Cutting Permit. The application for a Shoreline Substantial Development permit, L02 -044, however, has been found to be incomplete. The Shoreline Substantial Development Permit application is missing the written discussion of project consistency with the shoreline decision criteria. Attached is a set of the Review Guidelines (from TMC 18.44.110) that is part of the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit application packet along with a copy of the Goals and Policies of the City's Shoreline Master Program. The Foster Golf Course falls within the City of Tukwila's Shoreline Master Program and shoreline permit applications must be consistent with these policies as well as the City's Comprehensive Plan policies on the shoreline. The Tukwila Comprehensive Plan shoreline goals and policies can be found beginning on page 53 of the Comprehensive Plan. Please review these goals and policies and address the applicable ones as part of the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit submittal. Upon receipt of these items, the City will re- review them for completeness and will provide you written notification of completeness or incompletness within 14 days.

Clark Architects, PLLC Foster Golf Links Clubhouse Written Narrative of Project Consistency with the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan Application L02 - 044 Criteria for Projects subject to the City of Tukwila Comprehensive Plan 5.6 Access and Recreational Use: Varied opportunities for public access to and along the river, including visual and cultural access, access to the water's edge, opportunities for small boat navigation and access, and connections to other neighborhoods. While this project will not alter the access to the river, the project will attract more golf and non -golf citizens to the facility, which will bring greater recognition to the river and the recreational opportunities. 5.8 Historic Resource Use: Recognition of the river's contribution to the Tukwila's history and community identity through identification, enhancement, restoration, and protection of sites with historic and cultural value and through development of interpretive and educational programs. One document known to the City have suggested only documentation of the existing on -site buildings for possible historical significance. However, at the November 4' Tukwila City Council meeting, it was discussed and determined that there are no significant historical value of the five buildings on site slated to be demolished. These buildings, having been constructed from between 1932 (George Eddy House, currently abandoned) and 1946 (existing clubhouse). One existing large maple tree, thought to have been planted in 1873, will remain completely undisturbed. This tree will be completely protected with a temporary construction fence and alteration of the soil in the area under the strict guidelines of the golf course landscape architect. 5.9 Natural Environment and Habitat Use: Restored, Enhanced, and protected natural environmental resources along the river, including trees, wildlife habitat and features with value for long term public, scientific, and educational uses. This project will not impact the sandbars, wetlands or watercourse of the river that are important for habitat, as the majority of the project is well beyond the 200' zone of the river. The portion of the work within the 40' to 200' zone is earthwork, which will be held to the high City standards of erosion control and the best known implemental practices of the industry. Absolutely no work is to be performed within the river zone itself. The cedar trees being removed may currently provide some nesting opportunities for wildlife, but are not close enough to the river to provide shade'. While no eagles have been observed in the vicinity 5.10 Water Quality, Surface Water, and Flood Control Use: Improved water quality and quality control program affecting the Green/Duwamish River that improve the river's water quality , provide habitat for fish and wildlife, protect public health and safety, and enhance public enjoyment of the river. The design of the storm water control system is an enhancement of the existing on -site system, expanded to meet the existing off site needs as well as the larger building footprint and the larger parking lot. This enhancement is primarily an enlargement of the existing water quality treatment and pond along the number one golf hole. The pond is being enlarged as a feature of the first hole to accommodate the larger requirements of this project. The entire drainage collection and treatment system has been reviewed on a preliminary basis by the Public Works department and has been met with approval. I Source: Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Normed Office /Warehouse Project, September, 2001, prepared by Huckel /Weinman Associates. David A. Clark Architects, PLLC during field visits, the large cedars could potentially be used for perching. After removal of the trees it is unknown whether eagles would seek alternate perch locations in other tall trees located on the golf course. As the golf course is always planting and removing trees during its six year master plan alteration, it is unlikely, but unknown, that the removal of the planned trees on the fully treed 60 acre site will cause disruption to the flyway patterns. Replacement trees are being installed on the golf course and in the parking lot. The source of the storm water flowing through the site is primarily storm water collected in the parking lot of the facility, as the existing lot is being re- graded and expanded. The storm water from the building footprint will either be tied into the storm system or will be discharged into the new water feature adjacent to the new ninth green. The only off-site introduction of water is the existing tie to the storm water collected from the City Shops and golf course maintenance building. At the request of the City Public Works department, the pond is being enlarged to handle the off site storm water from the shops that was previously not addressed. This existing connection to the City Shops is not being altered under this project. This clubhouse project is not adding a fuel storage area to the golf course, and it is not altering any method of storing, handling or use of fertilizers. The entire list offertilizers used at the site has been approved by the City Public Works Department's Biologist for use on all areas of the course, including the areas adjacent to the river. To reduce the impact on the storm system and the river, this project will not house any fertilizers under any circumstances, even temporarily. " CITY OF TU NOTICE OF APPLICATION PROJECT INFORMATION The City of Tukwila Department of Parks and Recreation has filed applications for construction of a new clubhouse to be located at the Foster Golf Course, 13500 Interurban Avenue South, construction of a 286 car parking lot, removal of several buildings including the existing clubhouse, and alteration of golf course tees and greens near the construction area Permits applied for include: E02 -020 (SEPA), L02 -040 (Design Review), L02 -044 (Shoreline), L02 -045 (Special Permission - Parking), MIO2 -154 (Tree Cutting Permit).
