Background This request for a watercourse buffer reduction is an "after the fact" land use application resulting from a code enforcement action that began on March 31, 2011, when the applicant was cited by Code Enforcement for cutting into a steep slope, clearing in a stream buffer, cutting significant trees in the stream buffer and beginning the conversion of a garage to a single family dwelling all without a permit. The proposed conversion of the garage involves the extension of the structure an additional 14 feet towards the stream, which would put the structure in the 50 foot stream buffer. As a result, the buffer must be reduced if the garage is to be expanded. Decision Criteria TMC 18.45.100 E. states that the Director may reduce the standard wetland buffer on a case -by -case basis only where the buffer is significantly degraded and subject to the following criteria in a through c below. The criteria are identified in italics followed by the response. a) The buffer reduction will not result in direct, indirect or long-term adverse impacts to watercourses; The impact to the buffer has already occurred with the clearing of trees and vegetation prior to receiving approval through a Special Permission, Director land use permit. The reduced buffer area is primarily flat with a moderate slope on the edge of the stream banks within the buffer. The approval of the buffer reduction will help repair the damage done to the stream buffer, while allowing the expansion of the garage into a single family dwelling.

The plan must include using a variety of native vegetation and improves the functional attributes of the buffer and provides additional protection for the watercourse functions. A buffer enhancement plan has been submitted to replace the invasive species with native plants. The Urban Environmentalist has reviewed this plan and made revisions that, if implemented, will improve the condition of the watercourse buffer and the functional attributes of the buffer. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of a 50% reduction in the buffer for the Type 4 watercourse and the buffer enhancement plan that has been prepared with the following conditions: 1. All blackberries and other invasive plants in the stream buffer must be removed with the roots dug out. 2. Beauty bark or wood chips must be placed between the native plants at least 3 inches deep. 3. The plants identified on the revised planting plan are native plants.

Staff has "color coded" the different types of plants so that you can see more easily where each tree, shrub or ground cover is to be planted. As part of this approved planting plan, there are several requirements that must be met: 1. All blackberries and other invasive plants in the stream buffer must be removed with the roots dug out. 2. Beauty bark or wood chips must be placed between the plants at least 3 inches deep (the City can provide some suggestions about where you can try to get free wood chips from tree companies). 3. The plants identified on the revised planting plan are native plants. No substitutions for these plants is acceptable. These plants are not available at home improvement stores, so the City is providing you with the attached list of nurseries to contact to see if they have the plants available. We suggest that you take the landscape plan with you to the nursery, to be sure you get the correct plant species. 4. A split rail fence must be constructed as indicated on the drawing to separate the stream and stream buffer from the rest of the property to protect the plants and buffer area. 5. Plants must be watered during the dry months of the year until they become established (at least 3 years), so you will need to plan for how you will do that. The City will assist you with a maintenance and monitoring plan after the planting has been approved. The work must be completed by April 12, 2012. Please call for an inspection once you have completed the planting. If you have any questions about removing the invasive plants, finding the native plants, or planting, please call Sandra Whiting at 206-431-3663.

That letter also identified corrections needed to the landscape plan and that a request must be made to waive the 10-foot building setback for residential structures from the buffer. The letter stated we must receive these items within 90 days from the date of the letter, December 21, 2011 or the permit would expire. A copy of that letter is enclosed. To -date, we have not received corrections to the landscaping plan or the request for the building setback waiver. I am writing to remind you that if we do not receive the requested materials by March 20, 2012, your permit will expire. You will then need to re -apply for a new sensitive area buffer reduction. The City's Zoning Code (TMC 18.104.070 E.) allows applicants to request a 120 day extension of a land use permit by submitting a written request prior to the expiration of your permit. 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 circumstances not typically faced by other applicants and that a good faith effort has been made to provide the requested materials. Please let me know if you have any questions. You can reach me at 206-431-3661 or at Carol.Lumb.@Tukwilawa.gov.

Your application for a Special Permission Sensitive Area buffer reduction located at 4415 S. 137'h Street has been found to be complete on December 16, 2011 for the purposes of meeting state mandated time requirements. This determination of complete application does not preclude the City from requesting 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. This letter will provide comments on the three applications that you have submitted to the City. L11-053: Special Permission — Buffer Reduction Request As we discussed at the site visit yesterday, the proposed addition to the garage is too close to the stream buffer. We measured the distance from the stream culvert to the garage as approximately 36 feet. The buffer width is 25 feet, so this leaves a maximum amount that can be added to the garage of 10 feet unless you have the site surveyed to confirm the exact distance of the structure from where the stream enters the culvert and pipe. Please correct the site plan to reflect this revision. We also discussed at the site visit on December 191, the need to request as part of the Special Permission Buffer Reduction Permit that the City waive the required 10 foot building setback for residential structures from the edge of the stream buffer. The City will consider waiving this building setback if additional mitigation is provided — we discussed additional plantings along the stream bank. Your architect, Mr. Don Atwood, can amend the planting drawing submitted on November 15, 2011. Please incorporate shrubs, trees, such as Western Red Cedar as well as ferns and Oregon grape into the planting plan. We discussed the use of bareroot plants — the planting density must be increased with the use of these small plants, but these size plants have a good survival rate if the planting areas are watered and weeded to assist the plants in their growth. The bare root plants will be less expensive than larger plants. The King Conservation District holds a native bareroot plant sale in March — I will attach an order form for the plants. It is advisable to pre -order the plants — we discussed CPL Page 1 of 3 H:\\L11-053\L11-053 Correction 12-20-11 plus D11-082-D11-195 12/21/2011 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone 206-431-3670 • Fax:: 206- 431-3665 Mr. Santiago Ramirez December 21, 2011 L11-053-Buffer Reduction Request D11-082 and D11-195 this with Mr. Atwood at the site visit. Below are some corrections needed to the planting proposed in the 25 foot buffer area — these comments apply also to any proposed plantings to mitigate for the waiver of the building setback. The following are comments/corrections on the landscaping plan you submitted on November 15, 2011: 1. The planting density is too low — shrubs should be at 3-4 feet on center, trees at 10 —12 feet on center, and plants such as ferns and Oregon grape at 1— 2 feet on center. 2. Smaller plant sizes are recommended — one or two -gallon plants will do better over the long run than 5- gallon. If you want to take advantage of the King Conservation District bareroot native plant sale in early March, the City would accept bare -root plants, but the plant count would need to be higher than for container -grown plants due to the higher possibility for failure. The order form for the bareroot sale is enclosed. 3. Comus nuttalii should not be planted — recent experience in Tukwila shows that it does not do well in restoration plantings. Please substitute another native tree. If a deciduous tree is desired, we recommend Oregon Ash (Fraxinus latifolia), Bitter Cherry (Prunus emarginata), Crabapple (Malus fusca), or a smaller willow like Salix hookeriana. 4. Arctostaphylos is not appropriate for this planting area — it does better in full sun. (We suggest you put in) Please substitute more sword ferns and/or Mahonia nervosa (Low Oregon Grape) at the planting densities identified in comment # 1. 5. Because of weeds, the entire planting area will need to be mulched with arborist chips or bark to a depth of at least 4 inches (keeping the mulch 2-3 inches away from trunks, stems or crowns of plants). We recommend sheet mulching the site with cardboard covered with arborist chips. This could be done before (you can cut holes through the cardboard to plant) or after planting. 6. You must submit a simple maintenance plan (watering, weed control, replanting dead plants, etc.). As part of final approval of the Special Permission permit, you will be required to submit to the City monitoring reports — we will work with you to come up with a simple monitoring plan. This application will expire if we do not receive the additional information within ninety days of the date of this letter unless an extension is granted pursuant to Section 18.105.070(E). Please be aware that fifteen (15) hours of staff time is allowed for the processing of the Special Permission -Buffer Reduction application — staff time spent beyond the 15 hours will be billed at $92/hour. To -date five hours and fifteen minutes of the 15 hours allotted to this land use application has been expended. Building Permits D11-082 and D11-195: D11-082: this permit is for the addition to the garage to convert that structure to a dwelling unit and has not been issued — a letter indicating that the application was incomplete was sent to you on April 14, 2011 and a letter informing you that the application will expire on December 30, 2011 was sent to you on August 4, 2011. You may request an extension of this permit, which will be considered by the Building Official, however, approval of the extension is not guaranteed. At the site visit on December 19th, Dave Larson, Senior Plans Examiner, discussed with your architect revisions to the foundation on the east side of the building extension. These revisions need to be incorporated into the drawings for the project and submitted along with the other items identified in the Letter of Incomplete Application. D11-195: This permit is for the rockery to stabilize the slope on the eastern side of the property where you have cut into the slope. It appeared from the site visit that you intend to use Ecology blocks rather than the rockery — if that is CPL Page 2 of 3 12/21/2011 H:\\L11-053\L11-053 Correction 12-20-11 plus D11-082-D11-195 Mr. Santiago Ramirez December 21, 2011 L11-053-Buffer Reduction Request D11-082 and D11-195 the case, then you must submit a revision to the issued permit. As Mr. Larson discussed with your architect yesterday, an engineer must stamp the revised plans. Please follow the procedure for submitting corrections to the building permits by completing the revision form. Your architect also discussed with Mr. Larson possibly submitting a permit application to the Public Works Department for grading work on the site. If you have questions about this permit, you may contact the Public Works Department at 206-433-0179. Please remember that no work may take place in the 25 foot reduced buffer area until the Special Permission permit has been issued. No work may take place on the rockery/Ecology block wall or the garage until the building permits have either been issued (D11-082) or revised (D11-195).

'Your application for a Special Permission Sensitive Area buffer reduction located at 4415 S. 137'' Street has been found to be complete on December 16, 2011 for the purposes of meeting state mandated time requirements. This determination of complete application does not preclude the City from requesting additional plans or information, if in our estimation such information is necessary to ensure the project meets this substantive requirements of the City or to complete the review process. This letter will provide comments on the three applications that you have submitted to the City. L11-053= SteelnJ Permission — Buffer Iteduction_R.ectucst As we discussed at the site -visit yesterday, the proposed addition to the garage is too close to the stream buffer. `W'e measured the distance from the stream culvert to the garage as approximately 36 feet. The buffer width is 25 feet, so this leaves a maximum amount that can be added to the garage of 10 feet unless you have the site surveyed to confirm the exact distance of the structure from where the stream enters the culvert and pipe. )Tease correct the site jjan to reflect this revision. We also discussed at the site visit on December 19th, the need to request as part of the Special Permission Buffer Reduction Permit that the City waive the required 10 foot building setback for residential structures from the edge of the stream buffer. The City will consider waiving this building setback if additional mitigation is provided — we discussed additional plantings along the stream bank. 'Your architect, Mr. Don Atwood, can amend the planting drawing submitted on November 15, 2011. Please incorporate shrubs, trees, such as Western Red Cedar as well as ferns and Oregon grape into the planting plan_ We discussed the use of bareroot plants — the planting density must be increased with the use of these small plants, but these size plants have a good survival rate if the planting areas are watered and weeded to assist the plants in their growth. The bare root plants will be less expensive than larger plants. The King Conservation District holds a native bareroot plant sale in March — I will attach an order form for the plants_ It is advisable to pre -order the plants — we discussed CPL Paco 1 of 3 1-053U-11-033 Co.TccNon 12-20-11 Pl.. 17.11-082-1>11-t95 12/21/2011 6300 Southceurer Soulevord, Suite #100 - Tukwila, TVashirlgtorr 98188 • Phone 206-431-3670 - P. 206- 431-3665 City off Tukwila Jim Haggerton, Mayor Department of Community Development Jack Pace, Director NOTICE OF INCOMPLETE APPLICATION November 10, 2011 Mr. Santiago Ramirez 4415 S. 137th Street Tukwila, WA 98178 RE: L11-053, Special Permission Land Use Application for Sensitive Area Buffer Reduction Dear Mr. Ramirez: Your application for a Special Permission Sensitive Area buffer reduction for a Type 4 watercourse, located at 4415 S. 137th Street submitted on October 28, 2011 has been found to be incomplete. In order to be a complete application, the following must be submitted to the permit center: a. The application is missing a mitigation and enhancement plan to justify the requested buffer reduction and mitigate for the reduced buffer area. This plan must include a landscaping plan that shows the entire buffer area re -vegetated with native plants. In addition, the five trees removed from the buffer area without a permit must be replaced based on the City's Tree Ordinance, TMC 18.54. b. The site plan submitted appears to be incorrect in the distances identified from the existing southwest corner of the house to the stream. DCD and Public Works staff visited the site on 11-9-11 and measured 36 feet from southwest corner, rather than the 39 feet that is shown on the submitted plans. The maximum buffer reduction that can be approved is 50%, for a 25 foot buffer. This reduces the size that the proposed addition to the garage from 14 feet to 11 feet. Please correct the site plan for the project and the distances shown from the existing and proposed addition to the stream. If you believe our measurement is in error, you may obtain a survey of the site, prepared by a licensed surveyor. Upon receipt of these items, the City will re -review them for completeness and will mail you written notification of whether the application is complete or incomplete within 14 days. Please be aware that fifteen (15) hours of staff time is allowed for the processing of Special Permission applications — staff time spent beyond the 15 hours will be billed at $92/hour. This application will expire if we do not receive the additional information within ninety days of the date of this letter unless an extension is granted pursuant to Section 18.105.070(E).
