Depart t of Community Development City of ukwila Type 2 Permit (Sensitive Areas Special Permission) JR Page 3 of 3 09/08/2011 11:24:00 AM H:\Special Permission\Villages at South Station\Rockery Repair_PL11-035_L11-043\NOD_Villages Rockery Repaii_L11-043_PL11- 035.doc City of Tukwila Jim Haggerton, Mayor Department of Community Development Jack Pace, Director MEMORANDUM September 9, 2011 TO: Jack Pace, Director, Department of Community Development FROM: Jaimie Reavis, Assistant Planner RE: L11-043 Special Permission, Director, Request for a Sensitive Area Ordinance Deviation to allow work within the buffer of a Type 3 stream. SEPA This project is exempt from the State Environmental Policy Act under WAC 197-11-800 (3), Repair, remodeling, and maintenance activities. BACKGROUND In July 2011, the City of Tukwila was notified of a failed rockery on the Villages at South Station apartment complex site, and a Special Permission and Building permit were submitted to the City for the rockery repair. On Tuesday, August 9, City staff met on site with the applicant and representatives from the Villages at South Station to get an understanding of the scope of the proposed work and the location of the work proposed in relation to the stream and the stream buffer. The rockery is located on the north side of an existing apartment building within the buffer of a Type 3 stream which is a tributary of Gilliam Creek. It appears that the rockery and portions of the building are within the first 40 feet of the stream, and therefore have setbacks from the stream and the stream buffer which are legally nonconforming. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone 206-431-3670 • Fax. 206-431-3665 The failed section of the rockery is approximately 20 feet long, centered on the northeast corner of the building. The rockery failure exposed a portion of the foundation of Building A, as well as steeply sloping soils within the support zone of the footing. The applicant is proposing to repair the rockery by rebuilding the rockery using the existing rockery rocks, backfilling the rockery with crushed quarry spalls and ballast, and restoring a working roof downspout drain to the northeast corner of the building (Building A). The proposed work will be done using heavy equipment which is proposed to be located at the top of the slope and to the west of the rockery failure area. Work to retrieve parts of the rockery which have fallen down the slope towards the stream will occur by hand. Vegetation in the project vicinity is invasive, comprised mostly of Himalayan Blackberry. Any vegetation disturbed will be replaced with plantings of species native to the Pacific Northwest. DECISION CRITERIA Section 18.70.050 (7) of the Nonconforming Lots, Structures and Uses section of the TMC outlines the criteria under which existing structures located within watercourses and their buffers that do not meet the requirements of the Sensitive Areas Overlay District may be remodeled, reconstructed, or replaced. Each of these criteria is listed in italics below, followed by a description of how the project does or does not comply. a. The new construction does not further intrude into or adversely impact an undeveloped sensitive area or the required buffer; The repaired rockery is proposed to be located within the same footprint as existing previously; it is not proposed to be expanded in size, and the location is not proposed to be any closer to the watercourse than the rockery was before it failed. b. The new construction does not threaten the public health, safety or welfare; and The rockery and associated downspout repair is being undertaken in order to prevent damage to the building. The purpose of the project is to stabilize the slope to help protect the building's structural integrity as well as the safety of residents in the apartment building. c. The structure otherwise meets the requirements of this chapter. The requirement for a series of final inspections as part of the building permit to determine the location and type of required mitigation (location and number of plantings, species) will be added to ensure the project will meet the mitigation requirements of TMC Chapter 18.45. Section 18.45.070 (B) of the Environmentally Sensitive Areas section of the TMC lists the uses allowable within a sensitive area or its buffer, subject to administrative review. The work to repair the rockery is a permitted use within this section of the code under number 1, Maintenance and repair of existing uses and facilities where alteration or additional fill materials will be placed or heavy equipment used. Maintenance and repair activities within stream buffers are subject to the mitigation requirements of TMC 18.45.100. Work within the stream buffer may occur, provided that: a. The buffer is vegetated and includes an onsite buffer enhancement plan prepared by a qualified professional, to retain existing native vegetation and install additional native vegetation in order to improve the buffer function; or b. If there is no significant vegetation in the buffer, a buffer may be reduced only if an on -site buffer enhancement plan is provided. The plan must include using a variety of native vegetation Page 2 of 3 that improves the functional attributes of the buffer and provides additional protection for the watercourse functions. Staff determined during the site visit on August 9, 2011 that there is no significant native vegetation currently located within the buffer. There are, however, areas that are likely to be disturbed where equipment will be located and where fallen rockery rocks will be removed. These areas can be planted with native species to meet mitigation requirements. Due to the small size of the project and the uncertainty about how much of the buffer will be disturbed, staff suggested required mitigation be determined during a final inspection after the work to repair the rockery is complete. Once the plantings are added to areas determined during the first final inspection, staff will conduct a second inspection to ensure the mitigation is complete. CONCLUSIONS 1. The repaired rockery and roof downspout drain will not further intrude into or adversely impact the undeveloped portion of the stream buffer. 2. The repair project will help prevent damage to the building foundation and stem walls, and will help stabilize the slope in support of the public health, safety, and welfare. 3. Mitigation will be completed to restore any areas within the buffer that are disturbed during the rockery and downspout drain repair. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Special Permission permit with the following condition: 1. Staff from the Department of Community Development shall be contacted prior to final building permit approval to determine which areas shall be planted, if soil amendments are needed, and the species and quantity of plants to be installed. A second final inspection shall be conducted prior to final approval to ensure the mitigation planting has been completed. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Due to the proximity of the sensitive area to the building and retaining wall, we are requesting a buffer reduction to complete this work. All repairs and reassembly will be made in such a manner to limit any adverse impact on the sensitive area. Also, we wish to complete this work in the dry months in order to have no impact on the stream. A detailed description of the work is attached in the Geotechnical Engineering Observations and Repair Recommendations report. This repair is summarized as follows: 1. Re -install failed rockery, all material & machinery will come in from the top and minimize work impact on sensitive area. 2. Create pathway to access the retaining wall area from above, this includes moving landscape and fences. 3. Collect the rocks that have fallen using cables, chains and a flying grapple to avoid major impact on the creek and sensitive area plants. 4. The ballast rock and fill will be shuttled in from the parking lot with a small loader. 5. Steel plates may be needed to travel from staging area. 6. Area of work will be taped off to identify hazardous area. 7. Repair the downspout drain line from the corner of the building near where the failure has occurred. 8. Reinstall undamaged fence sections when work is complete. 9. Prep landscape area for new landscaping. 10. All work will be outside the water coarse to avoid any State compliance issues. 11. Reinstall existing rocks back into the retaining wall. 12. Coordinate wall repair to meet soil engineer specifications and coordinate any soil testing as the wall is being reassembled. 13. Repair & restoration of landscape damage from rockery repair. Associated Earth Sciences, Inc.

(AESI) has completed a limited geotechnical engineering study of the failed rockery. This letter -report summarizes our observations, and provides our geotechnical engineering recommendations related to repairing the rockery. This letter -report has been completed in accordance with local standards of practice in the field of geotechnical engineering for specific application to this project by Security Properties, Inc. and its agents. No other warranty, express or implied, is made. Our work was completed in general accordance with our scope of work and cost proposal dated May 6, 2011. We were verbally authorized to proceed. SITE DESCRIPTION The Village at South Station complex is crossed by a drainage feature that flows generally from the northwest to the southeast. We understand that this drainage feature is considered by the City to be a critical area, with attendant limitations on construction activity in adjacent areas. The drainage feature has a native growth buffer that is heavily overgrown with blackberries. Buildings of the complex near the rockery failure are at the edge of the buffer for the drainage feature. The buildings near the rockery failure are up to approximately 8 feet higher than the adjacent drainage feature, and the grade separation is achieved with rockeries. The rockeries appear to be typical construction with sound rock materials. ;During -a heavy rain event in aboutrAprilof this year, a portion of the rockery immediately adjacent to the northeast corner of Building A of the Village at South Station complex failed. The failure affected about 20 lineal feet of the rockery centered on the northeast corner of the Kirkland a Everett a Tacoma 425-827-7701 425-259-0522 253-722-2992 www.aesgeo.com The Village at South Station Geotechnical Engineering Observations and Repair Recommendations Tukwila, Washington Rockery Failure building. The rockery rocks in the affected area had displaced into the native growth buffer along with some of the soil they had retained. The failure has encroached on the building foundation at the corner of the building exposing about 12 to 18 inches of the stem wall for a distance of about 6 feet west of the northeast building corner. The remaining soils exposed in the failed area were wet and oversteepened. The grounds person had covered the area in sheet plastic after the failure was discovered. Some of the rocks on the margins of the failure area were undermined and loosened. The failure was likely related to the downspout at the northeast corner of the building. The remnants of the subgrade portion of the downspout tightline were observed to be broken and deteriorated. It is likely that heavy rain flow was directed to the leaky, deteriorated downspout drain, saturating the soils behind the rockery and causing the failure. Very little of the foundation and stem wall of the building were exposed by the failure. We did not observe any indication that the rockery failure was increasing in size or that the building foundation was in immediate risk of undermining. The failed area had been covered in plastic to reduce the potential for further soil erosion. We completed a sketch of the failed rockery area, which is included with this report as Figure 1. No subsurface explorations were completed as part of this study. The rockery failure resulted in exposure of soils in the failure face or "scarp". The exposed soils appeared to consist of loose to medium dense fill material that was likely placed at the time the adjacent building was constructed. We were able to observe soils at footing elevation of Building A adjacent to the rockery failure by using a hand probe, and found the soils immediately adjacent to the footing to be medium dense, and consistent with compacted structural fill based on evaluation with the hand probe. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The failed section of the rockery has exposed a portion of the foundation of Building A, as 7 :well as steeply sloping remaining soils within the support zone of the footing:; It is important to repair the failed portion of the rockery to reduce the potential for further degradation of the soils that support the building foundations. Access to restore the failed section of rockery is limited by the adjacent drainage course and its buffer, and by sloping, wooded terrain. Because of the site access constraints, the owner - and contractor have selected a project "' ;approach that calls for rebuilding the rockery using the existing rockery rocks, backfilling the rockery 'with crushed quarry spalls and ballast, and restoring a working roof downspout drain2 to the northeast corner of Building AM GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS We recommend that the existing rockery rocks be retrieved to allow access for preparing the subgrade below the new rockery facing. Any existing rockery rocks that have not already been displaced but which are undermined should also be removed. The bearing surface for the July 19, 2011 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. BWG/tb — KE110140A3 — Projecls120110140IKEIWP Page 2 The Village at South Station Geotechnical Engineering Observations and Repair Reconunendations Tukwila, Washington Rockery Failure rockery rocks should be cleaned of wet, loose, and displaced soils to expose suitable bearing materials. If the exposed materials are soft, removal of soft soils might be limited by concerns for the adjacent drainage course. To the extent that any loose soils can be removed, we recommend that course of action. Where removal of soft soils is not possible, we recommend improving the subgrade below the new rockery facing by placing and compacting Quarry Spalls (WSDOT Standard Specifications 9-13.6) to establish a firm and unyielding subgrade capable of supporting the planned rockery facing. The rockery should be provided with a functional drain consisting of a 4-inch minimum diameter rigid perforated pipe placed at the base of the lowest course of rockery rocks. The drainpipe should be connected with drainpipes that are assumed to exist behind portions of the existing intact rockery that will remain. The rockery should be backfilled with Quarry Spalls or 2-inch "Railroad Ballast" (2-inch crushed rock with minimal fines) tamped into place with the excavator bucket between the existing soil face and the back of the rockery rocks. We do not recommend the use of compacted soil "structural fill" behind the rockery. All fill placed to restore grades should consist of Quarry Spalls or railroad ballast. The Quarry Spalls or railroad ballast may be capped with a woven geotextile fabric such as Mirafi 500x and up to 1 foot of topsoil to allow landscaping of the finished repair, if desired. The rockery should be constructed in a manner consistent with locally accepted standards of practice for rock wall construction. One example of local standards of practice is the Associated Rockery Contractors (ARC) Rock Wall Construction Guidelines, August 15, 2000. DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS The downspout at the northeast corner of Building A should be provided with a working discharge pipe. We recommend that the drain line for the downspout not be combined with other drains, and that the new discharge pipe be laid out such that it is in an area protected from likely sources of damage. The pipe should be provided with cleanouts at 50-foot intervals. Inspection and clean out of the discharge line should be a routine part of the grounds maintenance activities. It seems likely that failure of the discharge line for the northeast downspout of Building A was a primary cause of the existing rockery failure, and if the discharge line becomes damaged or plugged in the future the conditions that caused the existing rockery failure may re -occur. In addition to the downspout discharge line, establishing effective drainage of the repaired rockery is also important. We anticipate that the existing rockery was constructed with a drain Iine, and we recommend that the existing drain line be examined and cleaned or repaired as needed to function as it was originally intended. The repaired rockery section should be provided with a new drain that connects to the existing systems on either side of the repair area after they are brought into working order.

Page 3 The Village at South Station Geotechnical Engineering Observations and Repair Recommendations Tukwila, Washington Rockery Failure CONSTRUCTION SERVICES This letter -report is based on limited evaluation of surface conditions exposed at the time of our site work. The proposed construction project will expose bearing soils for the repair to the rockery facing, and may also expose additional support soils for the existing building foundations. We recommend that we be allowed to observe completion of the rockery repair. By observing completion of the repair, we can verify that the subsurface conditions that are encountered are consistent with our earlier observations, and with the conditions we assumed in preparing our recommendations. If any unexpected conditions are encountered, we would be available to help identify them and assist in formulating plans to address them in a timely manner. Observation of construction of the rockery repair is not included in our currently authorized scope of work. We are available to provide a scope of work and cost estimate for construction phase services on request. CLOSURE We appreciate the opportunity to be of service.
