4. Landscape Plan

lot and meet Public Works standards (TMC 17.20.030 G). Plans must include the
type, quantity, spacing, and location of all plantings Maximum sheet size24" by
36"
B. Show all existing trees to be retained and any tree protection measures required
(for example fencing and drip lines).
You short plat and SEPA application has been deemed incomplete and City Staff will not begin
to review the application until all required materials are submitted to the City.
Planning staff did do a basic review of the materials and have found two major items that need to
be addressed:
1. The property is zoned Low Density Residential (LDR). The minimum lot size in the
LDR zone is 6,500 square feet. Lots two and three are both under 6,500 square feet. The
City will not approve a short plat application that does not meet the minimum lot
requirements.
2. The wetland report prepared by B -12 Wetland Consulting not meet City standards. In
December of 2004 the City adopted a new Sensitive Area Ordinance. The new
regulations require larger buffers than the City's previous ordinance. However, the
wetland report references the City's old ordinance. For example, the buffer distance for a
type II wetland under the new regulations is 80 feet. Yet the report notes that the buffer
is 50 feet.
Additionally, under section 3.0 "Observation" the report notes the various resources that
were examined to determine the presence and location of a wetland on or near the
property. The City maintains and extensive inventory of wetlands and streams within the
City. The City's inventory (which was recently) updated would provide better
information than many of the inventories that are referenced in the report.
•
Please note that the Department shall cancel an incomplete application if the applicant fails to
submit the requested information within 90 -days following notification from the Department that
the application is incomplete. The Department may extend up to 120 days if the applicant
submits a written request for an extension prior to cancellation. The request must clearly
demonstrate that the delay is due to circumstances beyond the applicant's control (such as the
need for seasonal wetland data) or unusual circumstance not typically faced by other applicants,
and that a good faith effort has been made to provide the requested materials (TMC 18.104.070).
Once the above - mentioned information is provided, City staff can begin to review the
application. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (206) 431 -3684 or you can
email me at bmilesna,ci.tukwila.wa.us.

RE: Refund for E05 -007
DATE: April 21, 2006
A SEPA application was submitted for a short plat at 13330 32 "d Avenue South.
However, when Planning staff reviewed the short plat application we found that the
project was exempt from SEPA review and thus a formal SEPA application with
checklist was not required. Planning requests that a refund check in the amount of
$500 be issued to Rehabitat NW.
A copy of the originally receipt has been attached.
