Observed Conditions, On April 10, 2018, I observed the area which was discussed in the April 6, 2018 meeting
has been corrected per the agreement reached in this meeting. However, further
inspection of this area of the property I found additional fill material to the south of the
cottonwood tree: crushed asphalt, yard debris, and gravel.
Corrective Action: Remove all unpermitted fill material down to the native soil. Remove this unpermitted fill
material back to the approved location which was agreed to at the April 6, 2018 meeting.
Perform minimal disturbance of the native soil which lies underneath the unpermitted 611
material.
Compliance Date:
Violation 82
Code Reference:
Regarding the area to be used for parking (see enclosed map) use only approved fill
material (No asphalt materials).
There is a Category IV Wetland with a 50-foot buffer and a stream on this parcel.
If you disagree with the City's boundaries of the wetland and wetland buffers on this
property, you may hire a qualified wetland biologist to map the wetland and its buffers
(per TMC 18.45.040 A.1.b).
Before any work proceeds, there must be an onsite meeting with the city's Urban
Environmentalist and Code Enforcement Officer Toole. Contact Officer Toole at 206-431-
3676 to schedule an appointment.
Once the unpermitted fill material has been removed, contact Officer Toole for an
inspection.

Observed Conditions: On April 10, 2018, I observed an unpermitted diverted stream. A trench was created along
the west property line which has diverted the natural course of the existing stream.
Corrective Action: Once the unpermitted fill material has been removed and inspected, fill the trench with
