MEMORANDUM
E99-0016 (SEPA Determination — Non -Project)
Foster Golf Links Six Year Master Plan Update
13500 Interurban Avenue South
Project Description:
This non -project SEPA review is in connection with the proposed six-year Master Plan
update for an 18 -hole public golf course in the City of Tukwila known as Foster Golf
Links. The site is approximately 70 acres in size and is currently comprised of an 18 -
hole, Par 69, golf course with a 9,252 square foot clubhouse and 208 parking stalls.
Improvements to the golf course include the adjustment, improvement and/or repair of
certain tees and greens, associated course drainage, creation of a replacement
clubhouse, the addition of 75 parking spaces and a maintenance building.
Agencies with Jurisdiction:
None.
Summary of Primary Impacts:
• Earth
The majority of the site is generally level and is located in the flood plain of the
Duwamish River. Soils in the older greens of the course contain clay and have
poor drainage. Newer greens were constructed with sand. Greens are gently
sloped with a few exceptions. Maximum grade changes do not exceed 10 feet.
Specific areas of the site (i.e. certain holes, tees and/or greens) may be graded
or re -graded. Select fill may be imported during the construction of the
improvements. An erosion control plan will be employed during construction.

Foster Golf Links Six -Year Master Plan Update
July 9, 1999
Page 2
• Air
Dust and exhaust emissions will be generated during construction, with watering
as necessary to control dust.
• Water
The site is adjacent to the Duwamish River which borders 50% of the course.
Seasonal water levels impact golf course drainage as many points on the course
are below the level of the adjacent Duwamish River during flood periods. A
pump station moves water from the low area between Holes #17 and #18 to the
existing storm water system which empties into a bio -filtration swale adjacent to
the #1 fairway. Other low areas are drained using dry wells as collectors to
direct and dissipate excess water. The effectiveness of all of the drainage
facilities is reduced when soils are saturated by sustained rainy periods and are
rendered inoperable during flood periods.
A year-round pond is proposed behind the green at Hole #2 for storm water
collection. The existing water collection area at Hole #9 will be expanded to a
year-round pond with overflow to the larger pond behind Hole #2.
• Plants
Those portions of the site bordering the Duwamish are tree -Tined. Vegetation
throughout the course and along Interurban Avenue is park -like by design,
composed of scattered tree and shrub plantings.
Animals
Northwest Chinook Salmon are found in the Duwamish River and were listed as
a threatened species in 1999. The river is part of a migration route for
anadromous fish. The site is located within the Pacific Flyway, a migration path
for various waterfowl.
• Energy/Natural Resources
Not applicable.

Foster Golf Links Six -Year Master Plan Update
July 9, 1999
Page 3
• Environmental Health
Noise generated by construction equipment will occur on a short-term basis.
The hours of construction will comply with the City's noise ordinance. The
proper and limited use of pesticides and fertilizers within shoreline areas will be
implemented to reduce the potential for adverse effects on animals, fish and
vegetation.
• Land/Shoreline Use
Those portions of the site within 200 feet of the Duwamish River are located in
Shoreline Overlay Zone. The current King County Shoreline Master Program
designation is Urban. The larger site is zoned Public Recreation Overlay
("PRO"). Interurban Avenue South borders the site's western perimeter and is
classified as a principal arterial.
Construction of the proposed clubhouse will require a separate SEPA
determination, a Shoreline Substantial Development permit and Design Review.
Construction of the proposed maintenance building will require a separate SEPA
determination. Specific tees and/or greens may require a separate SEPA
determination and Shoreline Substantial Development permit, depending upon
the extent of the improvements proposed.
Housing
No, housing is proposed nor will any residential structures be removed.
Aesthetics
Due to its proposed location within shoreline zone, the new clubhouse will be
subject to design review by the Planning Commission. Landscaping in and
around the parking lot will be required as a condition of the land altering permit.
• Light and Glare
Site lighting at the clubhouse and parking lot areas will be provided by new "no
glare" light standards. It is not anticipated that any additional light or glare will be
produced by the golf course improvements. Some existing lighting may be
relocated.

• Recreation
•
•
The proposal will improve and enhance the existing 18 -hole, 69 par, 4,862 yard
golf course. The nearby Interurban Trail is a multi -use trail linking King and
Pierce Counties. A part of this trail follows the Duwamish River within the city
limits of Tukwila. Recreational fishing and canoeing occurs in and along the
waterway.
Historic and Cultural Preservation
No known places or landmarks.
Transportation
The project is located on Interurban Avenue South, a four -lane public roadway
serving commercial traffic. Metro bus service is available along this street. The
project proposal identifies an increase in the number of available parking stalls
from 208 to 283.
• Public Services
No increase in public services is expected. The Golf Division of the Tukwila
Parks & Recreation Department oversees this operation as an "enterprise fund",
meaning it is self -supported.
• Utilities
Project will not increase demand on the utility systems.

Revised Six Year Master Plan Update
June 1, 1999
To All Interested Persons:
The preparation of this new Six Year Foster Golf Links Master Plan is an essential
step for the continuous successful and financial independence of this city -owned.
public golf course. Purchased in 1978 by the city, it provides citizens a quality
golf experience and a large green belt oasis in the center of Tukwila.
The course is operated by the City's Department of Parks and Recreation as an
"enterprise fund", meaning all operational costs, capitol improvements, and
support services must be paid with golf revenues. Since 1978 green fees have
paid for 90% of course operations and construction improvements. The city has
achieved success in keeping our green fees at the average or below other nearby
courses while utilizing funds to keep the facility competitive.
The last Six Year. Master Plan was implemented in 1993. Several capital projects
will need to be carried over into the new plan. Construction of a new
maintenance facility will begin this year and will carry over into the second year
of the new plan. Construction funding is shown as part of the new plan in the
Financial Plan and Strategy section.
A new clubhouse, which was the largest construction project not completed
from the previous plan, will have a major impact on all aspects of the new plan.
The primary source of funding will continue to be green fees, and adjustments
will need to be made to these fees during the six years of this plan and beyond,
as bonds must be sold to pay for the clubhouse and other course improvements.
Again, a balance of setting competitive green fees and providing sufficient
operational and capital funding will be our goal. The new Six Year Foster Golf
Links Master Plan achieves this balance and will continue to provide a quality
golfing facility for everyone.
Respectfully submitted by:
Don Williams, Director
Parks and Recreation Department

Foster Golf Links
Revised Six Year Master Plan Update
PURPOSE OF MASTER PLAN:
The focus and philosophy of this revised Six -Year Master Plan for Foster Golf
Links remains consistent with the Six -Year Plan developed and approved in 1993.
The revised plan focuses on the construction of the new maintenance facility,
immediate course improvements, the design and construction of a new
clubhouse, and a comprehensive plan for course improvements to sustain and
improve Foster Golf Links in the future.
All efforts are directed at improving Foster Golf Links for its patrons and keeping the
course competitive in the busy local golf market. Because of the high profile nature
of new courses in the area, improving the visual presentation and quality of
conditions and play at Foster Golf Links are important for keeping existing customers
and gaining new golfers. With the popularity of golf on television and in the media,
course conditioning and shot values are becoming a part of the vocabulary and
expectations of experienced and novice golfers. By revising holes, addressing
continuous problems, and improving drainage, revenues can be increased by
attracting new customers and allowing more play in the wet months.
HISTORY OF FOSTER GOLF LINKS:
Foster Golf Links was built in the mid -1920's and has long fulfilled a need for
recreational golfers in the greater Seattle area. The course is a public owned facility
having been acquired by the City of Tukwila in 1978, funded by a citizen's General
Obligation Bond and Councilmatic Bonds. The last bond payment was in 1997. The
City has continuously undertaken projects to improve the quality of the course while
maintaining reasonable rates. The Golf Division, as part of the Department of Parks
and Recreation, oversees this operation as an "enterprise fund", meaning it is self -
supported.
Foster Golf Links
Revised Six Year Master Plan Update
SITE DESCRIPTION/ EXISTING CONDITIONS:
Foster Golf Links occupies a beautiful and unique site adjacent to the meandering,
tree lined Duwamish River. The river borders 50% of the course and comes into play
physically as well as aesthetically with two holes crossing the water and many others
bordering the river. The golf course is recognized as 'a rewarding, fun, relatively flat,
but interesting track that is easy to walk and is challenging for the age and ability
level of its regular golfers. There are cart paths through the entire course which
serve those golfers who wish to ride and provide maintenance access to all points of
the property. Since the time of City ownership there has been a continuous effort to
improve maintenance and increase the playability and enjoyment of the course
through improvement projects.
The park -like setting is enhanced by tree and shrub plantings throughout the golf
course and around the clubhouse and parking areas. Landscaping along Interurban
Avenue provides positive street appeal for the facility.
Play: At 4862 yards, par 69, Foster Golf Links is a relatively short course by today's
standards. The holes are laid out in a treed setting with generally flat terrain
punctuated by swales and hollows. Maximum grade changes do not exceed 10 feet.
The shortness of the course and lack of restricting hazards in tee shot landing areas
contributes to slow play on some holes when long -hitting golfers choose to wait for
the players ahead of them to leave the green before hitting their tee shots.
Approaches to greens are generally open; again lacking hazards which might
otherwise regulate the speed of play. Greens are small and gently sloped with a few
exceptions. Other than the putting green, there is no room for a dedicated practice
area.
Clubhouse: The existing clubhouse provides a pro shop, restaurant, lounge, meeting
room and locker rooms in 9,252 square feet of space. Although the clubhouse was
one of the earliest to be constructed in the state and is architecturally pleasing, it is
improperly placed on the golf course for easy access and staging of play. The pro
shop is of limited size and does not afford visual control of the #1 or #10 tees. The
clubhouse also does not provide handicap accessibility. While the clubhouse does
provide a meeting room on the top floor, it is of limited use as a banquet facility,
having no easy access to the kitchen facilities. The entrance to the clubhouse is not
well defined and there is limited curbside appeal as paving surrounds the building. It
should also be noted that no major improvements to the clubhouse have been
undertaken since it was constructed and it lacks any energy efficiency measures.
There have been several minor improvement projects including installation of a fire
exit, carpeting, interior pro shop wall installation, second floor ceiling insulation and
exhaust fan replacement. A new clubhouse will be designed in 2000. •

Foster Golf Links
Revised Six Year Master Plan Update
Parking: Current parking layout at the course provides approximately 208 stalls. The
number is inadequate for peak periods of play when some golfers must leavethe
course due to lack of close overflow parking. Recent improvements to #9 green
have removed a few spaces. The general condition of the parking areas is good and
existing plantings provide pleasant softening of the required expanse of hard
surfacing. New clubhouse construction will cause some revisions to the existing
parking lot but will result in the addition of approximately 75 spaces.
Ground Maintenance: The general condition of the course is good. Because the
greens are generally small, there are limited options for pin placements (hole
locations) resulting in wear or overuse due to compaction. The condition is
exaggerated at the older, soil -based greens. (Newer greens, constructed with sand
instead of soil, perform better in terms of compaction, drainage, and rooting depth).
The same conditions are apparent at some existing tees. With smaller usable
surfaces due to tiered configuration or poor soil mix the tees suffer from drainage
problems and over -use. Recently constructed tees reflect the correct size and
materials for the amount of play. The areas surrounding some greens and mounds
located throughout the course were constructed with poor draining soil and are
difficult to mow in wet conditions resulting in equipment -caused damage, poor
walking support in wet months, and the frustration of plugged (lost) balls.
Drainage: The property is generally flat and in the flood plain of the Duwamish
River. The river is both an asset and liability. The proximity provides a pleasant visual
asset and affects play but the seasonal water levels impact golf course drainage as
many points on the course are below the level of the river during flood periods. A
pump station moves water from the low area between #17 and #18 to the existing
storm sewer system which empties into a bio -filtration swale adjacent to the #1
fairway. Other low areas are drained using dry wells as collectors to direct and
dissipate excess water. The effectiveness of all of the drainage facilities is reduced
when soils are saturated by sustained rainy periods and are rendered inoperable
during flood periods.
Circulation and Safety: The Plan continues previous efforts to make improvements
such as adjustments to hole layout, tree plantings, and cart path routing, which
provide the greatest safety for golf patrons. Cart path additions and improvements
have aided maintenance access to the entire course.
Maintenance Facility: The existing maintenance operation is located adjacent to the
#1 tee and is housed in a series of small buildings with connecting open sheds. This
does not present visitors with a very pleasing first look at the golf course. The lack of
adequate storage for both equipment and materials along with limited access into
the area makes the present location less than desirable for the necessary operations.
A new facility for golf and park maintenance crews and equipment is to be built in
1999/2000 at the south end of the #18 tee and will be occupied in Spring 2000.

Foster Golf Links
Revised Six Year Master Plan Update
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
Maintenance Facility: Design and construction documents for the maintenance
facility were started in 1998. The project, to be located south of #18 tee, will be a
shared facility with the Parks Division. Construction is scheduled to begin in 1999
and the facility will be occupied in 2000. The new location will provide adequate
space for equipment and materials and will be visually separated from the golf
course.
Clubhouse: Design of the new clubhouse is scheduled to begin in 2000 with
construction starting as soon as funding is available. Occupancy and operation is
anticipated in 2003. The new facility will be designed according to the priorities
established in the 1993 Master Plan. In that scenario a new building (14,400 square
feet including 2400 square feet of cart storage) would be constructed north of the
existing clubhouse. The new location would provide inviting, unobstructed, views of
the golf course when visitors enter the parking area, sweeping vistas of the course
from the clubhouse and would improve circulation around the building. Parking
would be increased to approximately 275 stalls. New landscape areas around the
clubhouse would enhance the setting and street appeal of the setting.
Golf Course Improvements: Improvements are described on the revised golf course
plan. Implementation will be as described in the Priority List. Changes proposed by
the Master Plan address play, maintenance, drainage, safety, circulation, and location
of new buildings. The Plan recommends most greens be rebuilt and enlarged to
provide better drainage and additional pin locations. Tees are to be rebuilt as well to
provide larger teeing areas, better visual quality, and easier maintenance. Some tees
and greens need to be relocated to lengthen holes. Other features and revisions are
proposed to improve the strategy and playability of the course. Cart path locations
are revised to improve circulation and staging areas and widths are increased to 8
feet. New ponds and drainage swales collect storm water and provide opportunity
for dramatic play and interesting visual quality. Re -grading improves playability in
wet conditions and reduces maintenance. Winter tees are connected to the path
system for ease of circulation in the winter.
Hole by Hole Description of Proposed Improvements:
Hole #1: Build new tee to the right and behind the existing tee. Final placement to
be determined by new clubhouse location. Build new green and bunker complex to
the east of the existing green, adding approximately 40 yards to the hole and
reducing drainage problems.
Hole #2: Move tee north and west of the existing tee location. Re-route cart path
to improve staging area. Re -grade low area at end of tee shot landing area and low
area left of the green. Enlarge and reshape the green. Create year-round pond
behind the green for storm water collection and visual feature viewed from
clubhouse.

Foster Golf Links
Revised Six Year Master Plan Update
Hole #3: Rebuild green. Repair low area at left front of green. Rebuild front -right
bunker. Remove back -right bunker.
Hole #4: Adjust tee location and route cart path around tee to increase separation
of staging area. Rebuild green to address poor drainage condition at the lower left
portion of the green.
Hole #5: Fill low area at right front of tee. Add deciduous trees with contrasting
foliage to the East side of the fairway for visual separation from Hole #4 and seasonal
interest.
Hole # 6: Adjust the routing of the hole by clearing trees to the limit of the buffer
along the river. Selectively prune existing trees to reduce tee shot conflict. Re -locate
water collection area at front of tee to left side of fairway. Add bunkers to reinforce
the lengthened play line and create a strategic landing area for long drives. Relocate
cart path at mid -fairway to reduce conflict with #7 fairway and to improve staging
and separation at green. Relocate the new green behind the existing green to
increase the length of the hole. Selectively prune trees south and east of the new
green to increase light level and air circulation.
Hole #7: Route cart path around perimeter of tee. Create tee shot landing area
slightly right of existing by adding hazards at left side of fairway. Enlarge green and
add bunker or tree at right front for approach shot interest. Add deciduous trees at
back and left side of green for visual separation from #10 fairway.
Hole #8: Re-route cart path and relocate shrub planting bed from directly behind
tee to allow wider grass apron for walking approach to tee. Enlarge green and
reshape bunkers and aprons to improve drainage and increase second shot values.
Hole #9: Build new green complex and pond to create "signature" hole. Expand
existing water collection area to year-round pond with overflow to larger pond
behind #2 green.
Hole # 10: Install new bunker(s) at the right side of fairway to give definition to tee
shot. Add trees on left side of fairway for visual separation from hole #7. Regrade
green apron to improve drainage. Long term: re -shape green complex with
bunker(s) to increase the challenge of the approach shot.
Hole #11: Enlarge tee by regrading to single large level and using space gained from
existing #17 tee. Regrade green approach and perimeter mounding to improve
drainage.
Hole #12: Re -grade tee aprons, including mounds, for simplified shape and better
drainage. Strip existing clay soil from left side fairway mounds and cap with free
draining soil for seeding. Remove incongruous mounds in fairway.
8
Foster Golf Links
Revised Six Year Master Plan Update
Hole #13: Re -grade tee to single, large surface. Re-route cart path at green for
better staging and connection to #14 tee.
Hole #14: Re -locate cart path around perimeter of tees. Build a new green left of the
existing to create a sharper dogleg and partially hide target to discourage attempts to
drive the green. Add bunkers at outside corner of dogleg for target and at green side
to require precise approach. Re-route cart path for better staging at green and #15
tee.
Hole #15: Rebuild tee to maximize teeing area and simplify aprons. Route cart path
around perimeter of tee. Modify entire landing area and green complex to require
precise approach shot. Provide visual separation from #14 tee with bunker(s) and
trees. Change green slope to best accept shot from short of bunkers.
Hole #16: Rebuild tee to maximize teeing area on single level and simplify the
aprons. Enlarge green to back and left. Remove lower front shelf of green. Add
trees at right side for visual separation from #7.
Hole #17: Create entirely new hole as a par 3 to accommodate loss of existing tee to
new maintenance buildings. Build new tees behind and to left side of existing pond.
Add mounding and bunkers at green to define the target. Continue to use existing
low area between #17 and #18 to collect runoff but improve as visual feature. Install
trees at back right of green for visual separation from # 10 fairway.
Hole #18: Adjust existing tee to accommodate layout of new maintenance buildings.
Adjust play line to right by reshaping the fairway and enhancing tree hazards on left.
Strip existing mounds and regrade with free draining soil. Remove poor draining soil
at the green collar and replace with good topsoil cap for re -seeding.
Putting Green: Rebuild existing green with upgraded drainage and finish grading to
improve maintenance and playability. Long term: Install additional putting green
adjacent to first tee.

Revised Six Year Master Plan Update
FINANCIAL PLAN AND STRATEGY
Simply put, golf course revenues must pay for all related operations and capital
improvements. Efforts will continue to keep maintenance work costs as low as
possible, yet it is recognized there are annual increases. This also holds true for pro
shop operations, however, increased wholesale costs for merchandise can be
reflected in retail price increases.
Currently and in the future, golf course revenues will not be sufficient to pay for large
capital projects, such as the maintenance building and clubhouse construction all at
once. Budgeted in 1999, there is sufficient funding to pay for a large portion of the
maintenance facility's costs in 1999, however, more funds will be needed to
complete the project in 2000 than will be generated from that year's golf course
revenues. To "bridge" this funding shortfall, a Bond Anticipation Loan will need to
be obtained in 2000 and bonds.sold in 2001 to fund the new clubhouse. Bond sale
should be $3,700,000, which will include the funds to pay back the loan. Also
included in the clubhouse funding will be other golf course improvements
immediately around the new clubhouse and demolition of the old maintenance and
clubhouse buildings.
One budget item that has been added is an annual payment of $30,000, paid from
the General Fund to the golf course budget to pay for providing a parks maintenance
facility. The Parks Division is a General Fund operation that will operate out of the
golf course's facility. Because the golf course is an "Enterprise" Fund, it should
receive a "rental fee" from the Parks Division. The reverse is true for the golf course
when the General Fund provides support services. The golf course should pay for
those services, such as payroll, invoice payments, etc.
On page 17, a revenue sheet identifies the existing green fees and projected fee
changes to 2004. The green fees are set at a minimum level to support operational
and capital costs. It is assumed we will have 69,500 rounds of play per year. Weather
is the major determining factor which can increase or decrease annual revenues. For
financial planning purposes, revenues are projected on the conservative and the
opposite has been done for estimating operational and capital costs. Green fees can
be increased and some capital costs can be adjusted if necessary to meet revenue
shortfalls.
The following pages provide additional budget details and explanations. The
prepared budget worksheet, page 16, will be used as the basis for each new years'
budget proposal submitted to the Mayor and City Council. The budget worksheet
contains line titles (defined below) and dollar figures:
13
' Foster Golf Links
Revised Six Year Master Plan Update
Expenditures
• Operation and Maintenance: costs for course and Pro Shop
services.
• Engineering: work paid by the golf course for Public Works
engineers to manage capital projects.
• Transfers Out — General: monies paid by the golf course for
services provided to the course, such as payroll, invoice payment,
legal services, etc.
• Total Capital Expenditure: all costs related to capital equipment
purchased and all costs related to course or building
improvements.
• Bond Payment: costs to pay for annual bond payments.
• Total Expenditures: total of all expenditures estimated for that
year.
Revenues
• Beginning Working Capital: monies unspent carried over from the
previous year.
• Green Fees: net earnings after sales tax.
• Investment Interest: interest earning from invested golf funds.
• Equipment Rentals: fees collected from the renting of pull carts
and golf clubs.
• Power Cart: net revenues from rental of power carts.
• Concession Proceeds: restaurant concessionaire payment.
• Short Term Loan: payment out of bond sale proceeds to pay off
the loan for the maintenance building construction.
• Bonds Sold: sale of bonds to pay for maintenance building and
new clubhouse.
• Transfers In — Parks: monies paid to the course for services it
provides to the Parks Division.
• Miscellaneous Revenues: donations and similar gifts to the course.
• Total Revenue: total of all yearly revenues and beginning fund
balance.
• Ending Fund Balance: the estimated net dollars that would
become the next year's starting balance (Beginning Working
Capital as shown above).
The strategy for funding the new clubhouse and maintenance facility includes the
selling of Council approved bonds. As noted above it is estimated $3,700,000 will be
needed, annual payments will be about $300,000 for 20 years. First payment will be
made in 2002, one year after the bonds are sold.
14
Foster Golf Links
Revised Six Year Master Plan Update
To fund the maintenance facility a Bond Anticipation Loan will be made prior to the
sale of the bonds in 2001. A Bond Anticipation Loan will provide about $450,000 in
the year 2000 that will be used to complete construction payments for the
maintenance building. The repayment of this early loan will be included in the
annual payments for the bonds.
One idea that will be investigated prior to bond sale is the potential of partnering
with a restaurant concessionaire for capital investment. It is a common practice that
a restaurant concessionaire, in exchange for a long term exclusive food/beverage
contract, would commit a substantial dollar investment into building construction.
This would reduce the cost to the golf course, however, it would limit for a long
period, who would operate the restaurant. The presented financial plan does not
include this potential private investment.
The following presents some additional facts and assumptions about the financial
planning sheets:
Expenditures
1. The O&M budget would increase each of the six years by 3%.
2. Bonds would be sold to fund the construction of the new clubhouse and course
improvements related to the clubhouse area.
3. By the year 2002, the Golf Course would be able to support annual bond
payments of $300,000.
Revenues
1. The number of rounds projected for each year of the plan is 69,500.
2. Green fees rates to increase every two years.
3. Power Cart rentals are anticipated to increase by 12% in 1999 with the addition of
ten new carts. In the next five years, cart use is estimated to grow annually, with
price increases scheduled every two years.
4. Concession proceeds are at a fixed rate, established by contract, through the year
2002.
5. The new Restaurant Concessionaire would be able to pay proceeds of $50,000 a
year for the first two years of the contract, plus all utilities related to the
concession area.
6. This plan provides a direct contribution of $3.7 million by the Golf Course.
Additional contribution could be funded by partnership or restaurant concession
agreement.

1. The addition of weekend green fees (Saturday & Sunday). Through the prime
golfing season (April through September) $2.00 would be added to the green fees.
2. New junior green fees rate. Presently junior golfers pay the same rate as
seniors. The new fee schedule calls for a price reduction and the addition of
junior rates on weekends after 4:00 p.m.
3. New Twilight green fees. The present twilight rate would be offered one hour
before sunset and the fee would be one half the nine hole green fee.
4. The addition of winter rates. During the winter (October through February) all
golfers would be eligible for Tukwila Residential Rates.
5. The Park Director would be able to authorize promotional rates during off-peak
periods to increase revenues and promote the facility.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Don Williams
FROM: Michael Jenkins
DATE: May 26, 1999
RE: Comments concerning Draft Master Plan for Foster Golf Links
Thank you for providing a copy of the Master Plan for our review. The comments below pertain
specifically to potential Shoreline Master Plan issues rising for the proposed improvements:
• New tees and/or greens at Holes 1,,2, 4, 6, 7, 11, 15 & 16 may require Shoreline Permits if
they are within 200 feet of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) of the Green River.
Incorporation of native grasses and plantings within the Shoreline may be required. In
addition, the proper and limited use of pesticides within shoreline areas should be
implemented, to reduce the potential for adverse affects on animals, fish and/or vegetation.
Minimizing the use of pesticides near the shoreline will become increasingly important, in
light of the recent species listings under the Endangered Species Act.
• Any new or expanded irrigation systems, pump stations or related infrastructure within the
shoreline zone will require a permit. Repair or maintenance of existing systems is permitted
without a permit.
• Site plan is not scaled so the proposed location of new parking and clubhouse is difficult to
determine. If either is within the shoreline zone, a Shoreline Permit, with Design Review,
will be required.
