The Hearing Examiner enters the following Findings and Conclusions based upon the
testimony and exhibits admitted at the open record hearing:
FINDINGS
1. Lakeland Hills Estates, LLC (the Applicant) requested approval of a preliminary plat
to subdivide four parcels ofland, 22.97 total acres (1,000,696 square feet), into 70
single-family residential lots, a storm drainage tract (62,954 square feet.), and a
wetland/open space tract (131,997 square feet).l The parcels are located on the west
side of Kersey Way SE in Auburn, Washington, in King County. Exhibit 3; Exhibit
4; Exhibit 16.
2. The City of Auburn (City) deemed the application for subdivision and plat
modification approval complete on August 15, 2006. Exhibit 6. .
I The parcels are identified by the following King County Parcel Numbers: 3221059009 (parcel A),
3221059059 (parcel B), 3221059043 (parcel C), 3221059020 (parcel D). Exhibit 3. The legal descriptions
of Parcels A, B, C, and D may be found on the Lakeland Hills Estates preliminary plat map, dated
September 28, 2006. Exhibit 4.
Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation
Hearing Examiner for the City of Auburn
Lakeland Hills &tates Preliminary Plat PLT05-0004
Page 3 of25
3. The City gave notice of the preliminary plat application and plat modification
requests on August 14, 2006. The City published notice of the November 7, 2006
public hearing on the application and the requests on October 27,2006, by posting
notice of the hearing at the proposed subdivision site, by publishing notice in the King
County Journal, and by mailing notice of the hearing to owners of property within
300 feet of the proposed subdivision site. Auburn City Code (ACC) 17.06.030
requires the City give notice of a public hearing on a complete application, and
publish notice not less than 10 days prior to the hearing in a newspaper of general
circulation within the county where the real property proposed for subdivision is
located. ACC 17.06.030; Exhibit 6; Exhibit 7; Exhibit 8; Exhibit 9; Exhibit 10.
4. The City of Auburn analyzed the environmental impacts of the subdivision proposal,
as required by the State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A). The City determined that
the proposal would not have a probable significant adverse impact on the
environment, and issued a Determination of Non significance (DNS) on October 10,
2006. No DNS appeals were filed by the close of the appeal period, October 24,
2006. Exhibit 11.
5. . The Washington State Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation
(Department) reported that a recorded archaeological site, the Williams Farmstead
Site (45KI549), is located on or adjacent to the proposed subdivision site. The
Department requested performance of a professional archaeological survey of the
proposed subdivision site, prior to ground disturbing activities on the site. The City
of Auburn noted that a December 8, 2004 Archaeological Resources. and Traditional
Cultural Places Assessment prepared by Larson Anthropological Archaeological
Services Limited (LAAS) concluded the Williams Farmstead Site was "probably not
significant".2 Given the results of the Assessment, City staff recommended that a
condition of preliminary plat application approval for the Lakeland Hills Estates
Subdivision be monitoring of site disturbing activities on the proposed subdivision
site to determine the presence, if any, of archaeological resources on the proposed
subdivision site. At the public hearing on the subdivision application, Mr. Scott
Finch, representing the Applicant, requested that subdivision approval be conditioned
on this monitoring. Exhibit 18; Testimony of Mr. Finch.
2 The City noted that the contractor prepared the Assessment as part of Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) preparation for the Kersey III development, located directly south of the proposed Lakeland Hills
Estates subdivision. The City of Auburn issued the final EIS (FEIS) in February 2005. LAAS also
concluded that most of the Kersey III development area had "low probability for significant hunter-fisher-
gatherer, ethnographic period, and historic Indian archaeological resources because of the project's steep
gradient and a lack of a constant water source..." The FEIS for the Kersey III project concluded that site
disturbing activities should be monitored to determine the presence of archaeological resources. City staff
noted that similar to the Kersey III development, the proposed Lakeland Hills estates subdivision site has a
steep gradient and no constant water source. Exhibit 19.
Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation

6. The proposed subdivision site is located on the west side of Kersey Way SE, a Minor
Arterial street, at 49th Street SE. The proposed subdivision would extend south along
the west side of Kersey Way SE, to a proposed road, Evergreen Way SE.3 Evergreen
Way would extend to the east of the proposed subdivision, extending through the
Kersey III Division 1 development, currently under construction. The Kersey III
Division 1 development would border the proposed Lakeland Hills Estates
subdivision, sharing a common boundary on the eastern edge of the proposed
subdivision. Exhibit I, Staff Report, page 3; Exhibit 2; Exhibit 4.
7. The proposed subdivision site is located within the City's Rl Single Family
Residential zoning district. The Rl district provides for the development of single-
family detached dwellings, not more than one such dwelling on each lot, and for such
accessory uses as are related, incidental and not detrimental to the residential
environment. ACC 18.12.010. Two single-family residences currently exist on a
portion of the proposed subdivision site. Both residences would be removed from the
site as part of proposed subdivision construction. The remainder of the proposed
subdivision site is currently vacant, forested land. Exhibit I, Staff Report, pages I, 2,
and 3.
8. The minimum lot size in the Rl zoning district is 8000 sq. ft., and the minimum lot
width is 75 ft. ACC 18. 12. 040(A), ACC 18.12.040(B). But a maximum of20 percent
of the lots within a plat of 50 lots or more may reduce the lot width to 60 feet. ACC
18. 12. 040(B)(1). This reduction shall only be approved simultaneously with a
preliminary plat. This provision may only be used when it is necessary to
accommodate a proper lot or street layout due to physical constraints of the
subdivision. ACC 18. 12.040(B)(I). City staff interprets this provision to allow any
lot width between 60 and 80 feet. The Applicant's proposed subdivision includes 7
of70 lots with reduced lot widths: three lots at 60 feet wide, and four lots at
approximately 64 feet wide. The Applicant requested a modification from City
standards to allow for the 7 lots with reduced lot widths. Aside from the planned
detention tract and wetland/open space tract, 805,745 sq. ft. would be available within
the proposed subdivision site for lot and subdivision internal road development. The
Applicant proposed a development density of3.1 dwelling units per acre. ACC
18. 12. 040(A); ACC 18. 12. 040(B); Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 7; Exhibit 4; Exhibit
29.
9. The proposed subdivision site is designated Single Family Residential by the City's
Comprehensive Plan. City staff noted that Comprehensive Plan Policy LU -25 is
relevant to the proposed subdivision. Policy LU-25 of the Comprehensive Plan calls
for the careful planning of areas abutting major arterials, so that 'potential conflict
between arterial development and single family uses can be avoided. Policy LU-25
notes that single family uses in such areas should be platted in a manner which orients
3 Evergreen Way SE will be constructed as a Collector Arterial. Exhibit J, Staff Report, page 3.

the units away from the arterial, though "non-motorized access between the
residential area and the arterial should be provided." Exhibit 1, Staff Report, pages 2
and 7; City Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Element, page 3-16 (last revised
December 2005).
10. The general goals of the City's Comprehensive Plan are: to manage growth to
enhance community quality and values by actively coordinating land use type and
intensity with City facility and service provision and development; to provide
predictability in land use regulation but flexibility for development through
perform~ce standards to protect and enhance natural resources and critical lands; to
promote coordinated regional growth; and to maintain and enhance Auburn's
character as a family community while providing needed services and opportunities
for a wide array of housing types and sizes. City Comprehensive Plan, General
Goals 1-4 (last revised December 2005).
11. Area surrounding the proposed subdivision site, in all directions, is part of the City's
Rl Single Family Residential zoning district, and is designated Single Family
Residential under the City's Comprehensive Plan. Land to thenorth and west of the
proposed subdivision site is currently vacant, forested land. Land to the south of the
site is vacant land that is part of the Kersey III development project, currently under
development. Land to the east of the site, across Kersey Way SE, is the site of an
operating 664-acre gravel mine. Asphalt and concrete manufacturing facilities are
also located on the mine site. The mine will likely operate for the next 25 years.
Exhibit 1, StajJReport, page 2; Exhibit 23.
12. The proposed subdivision site consists of land that slopes steeply uphill, from the
north to the south, overlooking the gravel mine site to the northeast and east across
Kersey Way SE. The proposed subdivision site also consists of land that slopes
uphill, from the west and northwest, to the east and southeast. The point lowest in
elevation is located in the northwest corner of the site, at approximately 230 feet of
elevation. The proposed subdivision site's slopes are generally at a 15-20 percent
grade, though the steepest slope in the northwest section of the site approaches a 35-
40 percent grade. No slopes over 40 percent are found on the proposed subdivision
site. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, pages 3 and 8; Exhibit 4; Exhibit 15; Exhibit 23.
13. A wetland/stream complex is located in the western and southwestern portion of the
proposed subdivision site. The Applicant's wetland consultant delineated one stream,
Stream A, and two wetlands, Wetland A and Wetland B, on the proposed subdivision
site, as of November 10, 2005. The consultant determined that Stream A is a Class 3
stream, pursuant to ACC Section 16.10.080 (D). The stream is approxiffiately two to
four feet wide, 0.5 to 10 inches deep. The stream flows from the western portion of
the proposed subdivision site, angling to the northwest. Wetland A IS a slope wetland
with scrub-shrub vegetation located along portions of Stream A near the western site
boundary. Wetland B is a slope wetland with scrub-shrub vegetation located in the
Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation
Hearing Examiner for the City of Auburn
Lakeland Hills Estates Preliminary Plat PLT05-0004
Page 60f25
southwest corner of the site. The consultant determined that both Wetland A and
Wetland B qualify as a Category 4 wetland, pursuant to ACC Section 16.1 0.080.
Exhibit 4; Exhibit 17.
14. City critical areas ordinances generally require a minimum 25 foot wide buffer
around Category 4 wetlands, and a minimum 25 foot wide buffer around Class 3
streams. ACC 16. 10. 090(E)(I); ACC 16. 10. 090(E)(2).
15. Following the consultant determination, Karen Walters, Muckleshoot Indian Tribe
Fisheries Division Watersheds and Land Use Team Leader, raised a concern
regarding the impacts of proposed subdivision construction on the on-site stream. An
October 3, 2006 letter to Scott Finch, Dreamworks Construction, from Sewall
Wetland Consulting, Inc., mentioned Walters's concern and noted the classification
of the on-site stream was unclear, in contrast to the consultant delineation. The letter
noted that the proposed subdivision application was modified to comply with the 75-
foot buffer associated with a Class 2 stream. The modification is reflected in the
Applicant's October 2006 Conceptual Mitigation Plan Map. Exhibit 1, Staff Report,
page 9; Exhibit 5; Exhibit 22; Exhibit 26.
16. The Applicant would fill a portion of Wetland B, approximately 3,154 sq. ft., and
would mitigate for the wetland loss as required by ACC Chapter 16.10. The fill
would result from alignment of an access road for the Kersey III development to the
south of the proposed subdivision. The alignment is proposed as part of the Lakeland
Hills Estates subdivision application. The Applicantwould impact 2,745 sq. ft. of
stream buffer to ensure proposed subdivision Lots 53-56 meet the 8,000 sq. ft.
minimum lot size requirement for the Rl zoning district. The Applicant would also
impact 11,181 sq. ft. of stream buffer to allow for construction of the subdivision's
stormwater detention facility. The Applicant would mitigate the wetland impact
through enhancement of 8,016 sq. ft. of Wetland A. Planned enhancement would
occur through native tree and shrub plantings. The Applicant would mitigate the
buffer impact through enhancement of8,396 sq. ft. of buffer, including removal of
non-native material and planting with native tree and shrub species. A split-rail fence
would be placed on the western border of Lots 53-56 to separate the lots from the
stream buffer. The City's Environmental Protection manager reviewed the
conceptual mitigation plan presented by the Applicant, and determined the plan was
acceptable. A proposed condition of preliminary plat application approval would
require the Applicant to submit a final mitigation plan and monitoring schedule that
complies with the City's Critical Areas Ordinance prior to the start of construction.
Exhibit I, Staff Report, pages 3 and 12; Exhibit 5; Exhibit 17.
17. Pursuant to ACC Section 16.10.120 and 16.10.110, Category 4 scrub/shrub wetland
enhancement must occur in a 2.5:1 ratio, for 2.5 acres of wetland enhanced for every
one acre of wetland impacted. ACC 16.10.120, ACC 16.10.110. The Applicant
would enhance 8,016 sq. ft. of Wetland A for 3,154 sq. ft of impact to Wetland B, a
Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation
Hearing Examiner for the City of Auburn
Lakeland Hills &tates Preliminary Plat PLT05-0004
Page 70f25
ratio of2.54: 1. Stream buffer widths may be reduced by the City on a case-by-case
basis by up to 35 percent if an applicant demonstrates that a reduction will not result
in any adverse impact to the stream. Further, if an existing buffer is vegetatt:d, a
buffer enhancement plan may be required to demonstrate how the function and values
of the buffer and stream will be improved. ACC 16. 10. 090(2)(e).
18. Aside from impacted areas, the Applicant would protect the wetland/stream complex
within a 131,997 sq. ft. open space tract, located in the western portion of the
proposed subdivision site. The tract would be set off from adjoining proposed
subdivision lots by sensitive area signs and split-rail fencing. Exhibit 1, StaJf Report,
page 3; Exhibit 4; Exhibit 5.
19. The owner of the gravel mine neighboring the proposed subdivision, Segale
Properties, raised a concern about stormwater draining from the proposed subdivision
site. Construction of the proposed subdivision would result in increased stormwater
runoff from the proposed subdivision site, and decreased quality of the stornlwater
leaving the site, as on-site grading occurs. Stormwater would be collected on-site
through roof drains and sanitary sewers, and directed to a stormwater detention pond,
to be constructed in the northwest corner of the proposed subdivision site. The pond
would be contained within a 62,954 sq. ft. detention tract. The detention tra.ct would
be adjacent to the proposed open space tract containing the wetland/stream complex.
Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 5; Exhibit 4; Exhibit 23.
20. Segale Properties also raised a concern that future owners of property within the
proposed subdivision be notified of the proximity of their property to an active
mining operation, and of the stricture ofRCW Section 36.70A.060, which ensures,
among other things, that the use of land adjacent to mineral resource lands shall not
interfere with the continued, customary use of the land for mineral extraction. Segale
Properties proposed a condition of preliminary plat application approval that the deed
for each individual lot within the proposed subdivision. In addition, RCW S,ection
36.70A.060 requires that the final subdivision plat and building permits within 500
feet of mineral resources lands contain notice to subdivision home buyers of nearby
mining operations. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 6; Exhibit 23; Testimony of Mr.
Hancock; Testimony of Mr. Welsh.
21. Vehicles may access the gravel mine site via Kersey Way SE. Kersey Way SE would
also provide access to the proposed subdivision. The street has one lane in each
direction for its entire length, with a posted speed limit of 35 MPH, gravel shoulders,
curbs, gutters and sidewalks. The Applicant's traffic consultant observed s}X:eds
considerably higher than 35 MPH on the street. City staff characterized Kersey Way
SE as a high speed arterial. The City would require dedicated lanes for turns and
merging and advance warning signs on Kersey Way SE, to prevent rear end collisions
and to provide sufficient merging opportunities. The City would also require

Page80f25
vegetation removal to maintain sight distance along the street. Exhibit 1, Staff Report,
pages 3 and 4; Exhibit 36; Testimony of Mr. Welsh.
22. The proposed subdivision will add right-turn entering traffic and left-turn entering
and exiting traffic to Kersey Way SE. The Applicant's traffic consultant estimated
that the proposed subdivision would generate 641 net new traffic trips in and out of
the subdivision, including 50 net new weekday AM peak hour trips, and 68 net new
weekday PM peak hour trips. 45% of those net new trips will travel outbound from
the proposed subdivision on Kersey Way SE, and 54% of those net new trips will
travel inbound to the subdivision on Kersey Way SE. The Applicant's traffic
consultant reported that all available sight distances would exceed the minimum
standards for design speed of 50 MPH, including the stopping sight distances for
northbound traffic on Kersey Way NE approaching the proposed subdivision access
point. The Applicant proposed placement of the access point so that this sight
distance would be 555 feet, which exceeds the 510 feet estimated by the Applicant's
traffic consultant. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 4; Exhibit 4; Exhibit 16; Exhibit 27.
23. The Applicant would improve Kersey Way SE to provide safe access into and exiting
the proposed subdivision, and would widen the roadway consistent with City road
standards established for the site. The improvements would include: a right-.of-way
dedication from the proposed subdivision site; construction of a 1 O-foot widl~
sidewalk/trail along the west side of Kersey Way SE; landscaping along the west side
of Kersey Way SE; curb and gutter; installation ofa northbound left turn lane for
entry into the proposed subdivision, and construction of a southbound decelc;:ration
and right-turn lane, into the proposed subdivision. The sidewalk/trail would provide
pedestrian access to the proposed subdivision. Similar non-motorized improvements
are planned for the Kersey III Division 1 development to the south of the proposed
subdivision. Proposed conditions of preliminary plat application approval would
require the construction of Kersey Way SE and subdivision internal roads in
compliance with City standards. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, pages 4, 10, 12; Exhibit 4;
Exhibit 16.
24. Following improvements to Kersey Way SE, the R Street SE/Kersey Way SE arterial
corridor and the Evergreen Way SE (Lakeland Hills Way SE to Kersey Way SE)
corridor would provide a level ofservice4 above the City's minimum level of service
threshold, in both directions, through 2008. The Growth -Management Act, Chapter
36.70A RCW, requires that all jurisdictions within the state ensure that transportation
facilities have enough capacity to meet current and future traffic demand, or "'traffic
concurrency". The City measures concurrency in terms of arterial level of service.
Exhibit 16. '
4 Level of Service (LOS) is a TOad intersection criteria ranging from LOS A (little/no delay:S 10 seconds) to
LOS D (very long delays:S 50 seconds for un-signaled intersections and:S 80 seconds for signaled
intersections) with LOS F signifying jammed conditions on all approached with excessively long delays
and vehicles unable to move at times.

Page 90f25
25. The Applicant proposed development of the proposed subdivision in two sections,
due to steep slopes on the proposed subdivision site and the difficulty of constructing
a north-south road grade in compliance with City regulations. Lots 1-19 in the
southern, upper portion of the proposed subdivision would be developed separately
from Lots 20-70 in the northern, lower portion of the proposed subdivision. Lots 1-
19 abut the Kersey III development, which lies to the east of the lots. Exhibit 1, Staff
Report, page 3; Exhibit 4; Exhibit 31.
26. The southern portion of the proposed subdivision would be accessed from two public
streets within the Kersey III Division 1 preliminary plat, previously approved by the
City. These two public streets would be parallel to the proposed Evergreen Way,
located directly to the south of proposed subdivision Lots 1-5. Lots 1-19 cannot be
directly accessed from the proposed Evergreen Way due to the on-site slopes, which
create an elevation difference between the lots and the proposed Evergreen Way.
According to the Hearing Examiner's decision approving the Kersey III Division 1
preliminary plat, Evergreen Way would be extended east to meet Kersey Way SE.5 A
proposed condition of preliminary plat application approval would require extension
of proposed subdivision internal streets to meet Kersey III Division 1 internal streets,
in the southern portion of the proposed subdivision. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, pages 3
and 10; Exhibit 4.
27. The northern portion of the proposed subdivision lots would be accessed from Kersey
Way SE by a public road, Road E, from which a north-south road through the
subdivision would branch, Road A. Road E extends southwest past the intersection
with Road A, where it becomes Road F. Road F will terminate in a temporary cul-de-
sac where the proposed subdivision site abuts the property to the south. Because the
property to the south is under the same ownership as the proposed subdivision site,
Road F will eventually extend south, through the southern property, to the proposed
Evergreen Way, providing another point of access to the proposed subdivision.
Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 4; Exhibit 4.
28. Developing the proposed subdivision in two sections would require the installation of
a tall retaining wall between the two areas, located along the lot lines of Lots 16-19,
20-22, and 38. The retaining wall would support the grade differential between the
two portions of the proposed subdivision site, but the wall would- prevent vehicle and
pedestrian passage between the two portions of the site. The Applicant has proposed
a 10-foot retaining wall maintenance easement along the lot lines of Lots 16-19,20-
22, and 38. A retaining wall would also lie along the margin of Lots 23, 24, 29, and
30. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 4; Exhibit 4.

29. The Applicant also requested approval of four modifications of standards set by
Chapter 17.12 ACC, Subdivision Improvements. The Applicant made the following
requests:
a. Reduction in the required intersection spacing between Kersey Way SE and
plat Road A (Modification A);
b. Reduction in lot width for proposed Lots 48,54,55,56,60, and 61
(Modification B);
c. Reduction in the horizontal centerline radius for Road F near Lot 59 and Road
A near Lot 68 (Modification C);
d. Allowance to exceed the standard maximum road grade of 6% to allow grades
up to 7.5% for Roads A, B, C, F, and cul-de-sacs A and B (Modification D);
e. Approval of the boulevard design of the site entrance (Modification E);
f. Approval to allow Lots 1 through 19 without a secondary emergency access
when 25 residential units are exceeded and are being served by the single road
connection (Modification F).
The City's Transportation Planner, Joe Welsh, testified that all modifications would
be necessary, and thus, would have to be approved by the City Council, to permit
connection between lots via an internal road network. Mr. Lou Larsen, Applicant's
engineer, testified that the preliminary plat layout depended on approval of all
modification requests. Mr. Welsh testified that the requested modifications are
acceptable to the City Engineering Department, and necessary to accomplish
appropriate road engineering within the proposed subdivision. Exhibit 28; Exhibit
29; Exhibit 30; Exhibit 31; Exhibit 32; Exhibit 33; Testimony of Mr. Welsh;
Testimony of Mr. Larsen.
30. The Applicant requested Modification A after the City determined that the
Applicant's initial proposal to connect Kersey Way SE with the Kersey III
development's road infrastructure, via a road through the proposed subdivision,
would call for an unacceptable road grade. Following the City's determination, the
Applicant redesigned the proposed subdivision road layout to remove the connection
through the proposed subdivision, and provide entry to the 55 lots in the northern
section of the proposed subdivision via Public Road E and Public Road A. The
Applicant stated a landscaped boulevard connection would be required to provide
dual access to Kersey Way for the 55 lots. The Applicant proposed a reduced
intersection spacing of 185 ft between Road E/Road A and Kersey Way SE, to allow
for a road layout in which all lots could access Road A directly. The Applicant
reported that lots are not allowed to access directly onto a boulevard, and that denial
of the modification would result in access tracts being used to access lots between
Road A and Kersey Way SE, reducing the number of possible lots. Exhibit 28.
31. The Applicant requested Modification B to provide for width modifications on lots
48,54,55,56.60, and 61. The Applicant noted the lesser widths were necessary to
Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation
Hearing Examiner for the City of Auburn

Page II of25
accommodate the road connection points with the Kersey III development and the
wetland and stream buffer on the property. The Applicant stated that denial of the
modification would result in the loss of at least three lots, and the Kersey III
development to the east of the proposed subdivision would have lots smaller than any
lot in the proposed subdivision. Exhibit 29.
32. The Applicant requested Modification C to accommodate the road connection points
with the Kersey III development and Kersey Way SE. The Applicant stated the width
of the proposed subdivision would not be great enough to accommodate a 375-foot
road curve radius, without eliminating many lots from the proposed subdivision. The
two curves proposed by the Applicant would have 100-foot and 150-foot radii. The
Applicant proposed a four-way intersection near the two curves controlled by two-
way stop signs. The Applicant noted that the Kersey III development and the
Lakeland Hills development north of the proposed subdivision would have horizontal
curves below a 375-foot radius. Exhibit 30.
33. The Applicant proposed Modification D to minimize the height of the vertical cut that
would be made to cut the plat in two sections, cutting off vehicle and pedestrian
access. The Applicant noted that nearby Kersey III and Terrace View Apartments
developments employ 12% maximum road grades. The Applicant proposed a 7.5%
maximum road grade for the proposed subdivision. Exhibit 31.
34. The Applicant proposed Modification E to permit the splitting of the proposed
subdivision site into two portions, the northern and the southern portion, necessitated
by the City's road grade limits. The splitting of the site would permit only singular
access to the proposed subdivision's northern 51 lots. The Applicant reported that
denial of the request could mean the proposed subdivision's southern 19 lots would
remain undeveloped. Exhibit 32.
35. The Applicant requested Modification F to permit a split "boulevard-style" entry
from Kersey Way SE into the proposed subdivision, at Road E. The Applicant
reported the boulevard entry would be developed instead of a second access point for
the proposed subdivision's northern 51 lots, since the split of the site to accommodate
grading requirements would only allow for singular access to the lots. The Applicant
would satisfy secondary emergency access requirements through boulevard
construction. Exhibit 33.
36. No transit service is provided adjacent to the proposed subdivision. The nearest
transit service available is King County METRO Route 151, which provides service
along Mill Pond Drive SE, approximately 1.9 miles to the west of the proposed
subdivision. Exhibit 4; Exhibit 16.
37. The Applicant does not propose to create parks or recreational areas within the
proposed subdivision. The Applicant would pay the City a park impact fee in-lieu-of

park or recreational area creation.6 Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 7; Testimony of Mr.
Pilcher.
38. The proposed subdivision site is located within the Auburn School District. The City
collects a school impact fee for subdivision development's impact on District
infrastructure. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 6.
39. Dan Repp, City Public Works, testified that water and sewer service is available for
the proposed subdivision. Testimony of Mr. Repp.
40. Mr. Repp explained that the method used to make the water service available to the
subdivision is currently in question. If the Kersey III development is fully developed
(Divisions 1 and 2), water lines would be installed to the northern portion of the
proposed subdivision site. The lines would then be extended north to serve the rest of
the site. If the Kersey III development is not built, the Applicant would need to
explore other options, construction of one or more of which would then become a
condition of approval. The other options include the following improvements
required by the City's 2001 Water Comprehensive Plan, either (a) and (b) or (c) and
(d) of which must be completed prior to final plat approval:
a. BP-112: a booster pump facility located along Kersey Way between Oravetz
Road and Stuck River Road;
b. DS-213-1211, 1411: a 16-inchpipeline within Kersey Way, from 37th Way SE
through BP-112, to and through the site into the Zone Four pressure zone;
c. BP-lll: a booster pump facility located along East Valley Highway near 8th
Street E;
d. DS-208-1408, 1508: a 16-inch pipeline within East Valley Highway extending
from Oravetz to 8th Street E and DS-649-1509, 1510: a 12-inch pipeline
within Elizabeth Avenue SE extending from the existing stub in Elizabeth
Loop SE to Lakeland Hills Loop SE.
Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 5; Testimony of Mr. Repp.
41. Mr. Pilcher, City Planner, testified that though the City has not yet approved the
Applicant's proposal for delivering sanitary sewer service to the proposed
subdivision, the details of sanitary sewer service provision can be worked out prior to
6 The City did not pass a park impact fee ordinance until after the Applicant filed his application, but the
ordinance had been passed by the City at the time of the public hearing on the pr9ject. Had the ordinance
not been passed, the Applicant would have been called to adhere to his earlier agreement to pay $152,
716.15 to the City Parks Department for City parks projects. By the earlier ordinance, ACC 17.12.260, an
applicant for a preliminary plat of greater than 50 lots would usually be required to provide on-site
recreational facilities. In this case, the Parks Department would have been willing to accept a fee-in-lieu,
due to the steep slopes on site. Exhibit I, Staff Report, pages 6 and 7; Testimony of Mr. Pilcher.

final plat approval. Options for providing sanitary sewer service to the proposed
subdivision include: a) a gravity sewer system, in step with the 2001 City
Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan, routed south along Kersey Way SE down the
White River to the Lakeland Hills (King County) Pump Station; b) a single sewer
pump station to serve the proposed subdivision, until a permanent gravity sewer
system is constructed. Mr. Pilcher added that the City is currently evaluating the
pump station option to determine its feasibility. Regardless, the City would require
the Applicant to extend a gravity sewer line along the proposed subdivision's frontage
along Kersey Way SE. Tract D would be a sewer easement in the northwest corner of
the proposed subdivision. Exhibit 1 Staff Report, pages 4 - 6; Testimony of Mr.
Pilcher.
42. In a letter to the City, Scott Finch, on behalf of Lakeland Hills Estates LLC,
expressed a commitment to participate in the cost of constructing either the sanitary
sewer lift station or the gravity system that would be located along Kersey Way SE.
Exhibit 24.
43. Scott Finch, on behalf of the Applicant, testified that the Applicant supports all
proposed revised conditions listed in the Revised Proposed Conditions of Approval
for Lakeland Hills Estates, dated November 7, 2006. Testimony of Mr. Finch.

Conclusions Based on Findings
I. Preliminary Plat Application
A. With conditions, adequate provisions will be made for the public health,
safety and general welfare and for open spaces, drainage ways, streets,
alleys, other public ways, water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks, and sites
for schools and school grounds. The City provided adequate notice of the
public hearing associated with the application and opportunity for public
comment. The proposed subdivision's internal street system will be public
and will provide adequate vehicular and pedestrian transportation routes for
subdivision residents. The Applicant will pay a fee in-lieu-of providing park
space within the proposed subdivision. Stormwater will be collected on-site
and routed to a stormwater detention facility for treatment and dispersal. The
Applicant will construct improvements to Kersey Way SE, to ensure motorist
safety and to construct a pedestrian path along the street. The Applicant will
mitigate the impact of the proposed subdivision on Auburn School District
schools by payment of a school impact fee. Water and sewer service will be
available to the proposed subdivision. Retaining walls will be built within the
proposed subdivision to protect steeper slopes.
Conditions of approval are necessary to ensure that a means of providing
sewer and water service to the proposed subdivision is constructed.
Conditions of approval are also necessary to ensure that internal subdivision
streets connect to streets of a neighboring development, to provide drop-off
and pick-up opportunities for school bus access along internal subdivision
roads, and to provide for construction of adequate public storm drainage
facilities. Findings 1,2,3,6, 12, 19, 21 - 28,37 - 43.

Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation
Hearing Examiner for the City of Auburn
Lakeland Hills &tates Preliminary Plat PLT05-0004
Page 16of25
B. With conditions, the proposed project conforms to the general purposes
of the City of Auburn's Comprehensive Plan, Title 17.02 (Subdivisions),
and to the general purposes of any other applicable policies or plan which
have been adopted by the City Council. The proposed subdivision would
provide single-family residential housing and would be consistent with the
purposes and regulations of the subdivision title, consistent with the general
purposes and policies ofthe City Comprehensive Plan, and would be
consistent with the City's 2001 City Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan.
Should the Kersey III Division 1 development not be completed, the
subdivision's water service provision will be required to conform to the City's
2001 Water Comprehensive Plan. Proposed subdivision lots would be
oriented away from Kersey Way SE, a minor arterial, in step with Policy LU-
25 of the City Comprehensive Plan. The proposed subdivision's development
will be coordinated with the construction of water and sewer service provision
facilities in the area of the proposed subdivision. Subdivision development
would provide for the enhancement of critical lands, including wetlands,
streams, and wetland/stream buffer areas, through a City-approved conceptual
mitigation plan. The Applicant will construct improvements to Kersey Way
SE, to ensure motorist safety and to construct a pedestrian path along the
street. The improvements will not diminish level of service along the R Street
SE/Kersey Way SE and Evergreen Way SE arterial corridors. The Applicant
will provide for open space within the proposed subdivision via a
wetland/open space tract. The request to reduce 7 lot widths within the
proposed subdivision will promote the effective use of land, by allowing space
for development of internal subdivision roads and wetland and stream buffers.
The proposed subdivision's internal street system will be public and will
provide adequate vehicular and pedestrian transportation routes for
subdivision residents. The Applicant will pay a fee in-lieu-ofproviding park
space within the proposed subdivision. Stormwater will be collected on-site
and routed to a stormwater detention facility for treatment and dispersal. The
Applicant will mitigate the impact ofthe proposed subdivision on Auburn
School District schools by payment of a school impact fee. Water and sewer
service will be available to the proposed subdivision. Retaining walls will be
built within the proposed subdivision to protect steeper slopes.
Conditions of approval are necessary to ensure that future subdivision home
buyers have notice of neighboring gravel mine operations prior to purchasing
a subdivision home, and to ensure that a means of providing sewer and water
service to the proposed subdivision is constructed. Conditions of approval are
also necessary to ensure that internal subdivision streets Connect to streets of a
neighboring development, to provide drop-off and pick-up opportunities for
school bus access along internal subdivision roads, to provide for construction
of adequate public storm drainage facilities, and to ensure wetland mitigation

and monitoring complies with the City's Critical Areas Ordinance. Findings
1,6,9,10-28,37-43.
C. The plat conforms to the City of Auburn's zoning ordinance, Title 18,
and any other applicable planning or engineering standard and
specifications. The proposed subdivision will contain single-family
residential housing at a development density of 3.1 dwelling units per acre.
No lot will be less than 8,000 sq. ft. in area, in compliance with the Rl zoning
district minimum lot size requirement. Seven of the 70 proposed lots, or 10%
of the proposed lots, will have widths less than 75 feet to accommodate the
subdivision's internal road system and wetland/stream buffer areas. This lot
width reduction complies with ACC Section 18.12.040(B)(I) requirements for
lot width reduction. Findings 1 and 8.
D. With conditions, potential environmental impacts of the proposal have
been mitigated such that the proposal will not have an unacceptable
adverse effect upon the quality of the environment. The City determined
that the proposed subdivision would not have a probable significant adverse
impact on the environment, and issued a Determination of Non significance .
(DNS).
Conditions of approval are necessary to ensure that site disturbing activities
on the proposed subdivision site are monitored to determine the presence, if
any, of archaeological resources on the proposed subdivision site. Conditions
of approval are also necessary to ensure that on-site wetlands, stream, and
buffer areas are protected in compliance with City Critical Areas Ordinances.
Findings 4, 5, 13 - 18..
E. With conditions, adequate provisions have been made so that the
preliminary plat will prevent or abate public nuisances. Public Nuisances
are addressed generally throughout the ACC and are addressed directly in
Chapter 8.12 ACC. A public nuisance affects public health and property
values by creating visual blight, harboring rodents and/or beasts, or creating
unsafe pedestrian and traffic situations. Potentially unsafe pedestrian and
traffic situations will be alleviated by the construction of Kersey Way SE
street and pedestrian improvements, and by the constructi'on of the subdivision
internal road system.
Conditions of approval are necessary to ensure that connections to public
sewer and water will limit potential negative impacts to public health, to
ensure that street improvements are constructed in compliance with City
standards, and to ensure that proposed subdivision home buyers have notice of
neighboring mine operations prior to purchasing subdivision homes. Findings

II. Modification Requests9
A. Special circumstances make modification necessary in this case, and because
of such special circumstances, development of the proposed subdivision site
in strict conformity with Title 17, Auburn City Code will not allow
reasonable and harmonious use ofthe property. The steep slopes present on
site and the site's proximity to a minor arterial make all the modifications
requested necessary in this case. Development of the proposed subdivision in
strict conformity with Title 17 would mean: development of an internal road
system with inappropriate road engineering and grades inconsistent with City
standards; inappropriate vehicular entry from and onto Kersey Way SE, a minor
arterial; loss of area dedicated to wetland/stream buffer areas in step with the City
Critical Areas Ordinance; and elimination of some subdivision lots for single
family residential development similar to development in neighboring
subdivisions. Findings 1, 6, 7, 8, 11 -18,21 - 23, 25 - 27, 29 - 35.
B. Modification approval will not alter the character of the neighborhood, or be
detrimental to surrounding properties. Approval of al requested modifications
will result in the development of a single-family residential subdivision,
consistent with the single-family residential subdivisions that surround the
proposed subdivision. Approval of all modifications will be beneficial to the
neighboring Kersey III Division 1 subdivision development, because the
requested modifications will provide for connecting proposed subdivision internal
roads with Kersey III Division 1 development internal roads. Findings 1, 6 - 9,
11, 21 - 23, 25 - 27, 29 - 35.
C. Modification approval will not be materially detrimental to the
implementation of city policies, objectives, and plans. Modification approval
will be consistent with City Comprehensive plan goals and policies. Approval of
all the modifications will permit orienting proposed subdivision dwelling units
away from Kersey Way SE, a minor arterial, and provide for a proposed
subdivision internal road system with pedestrian access from the residential area
to Kersey Way SE. Modification approval will allow for coordination of single-
family residential development with nearby transportation infraStructure, promote
coordinated regional growth by constructing street connections between the
proposed subdivision and the Kersey III Division 1 development, and to ensure
critical wetland/stream buffer areas are protected. Findings 1, 8 -10, 12 -18,21 _
23, 25 - 27, 29 - 35.
9 The Hearing Examiner will make a single recommendation regarding the Applicant's modification
requests, since aU the modifications would be necessary, and thus, would have to be approved by the City
Council, to permit connection between lots via an internal road network. Finding 28.
Findings, Conclusions. and Recommendation
Hearing Examiner for the City of Auburn
Lakeland Hills &tates Preliminary Plat PLT05-0004
Page 19 of25
D. Literal interpretation of Title 17, Auburn City Code, would deprive the
Applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the Rl zoning
district. The Applicant requests modifications consistent with development
parameters in subdivisions surrounding the proposed subdivision. Modification
denial would result in elimination of subdivision lots that would otherwise be
pennitted within the Rl zoning district, according to Rl zoning district minimum
lot size and minimum lot width requirements. Findings 1, 6 - 8, 11, 12, 21- 23, 25
-27,29-35.
E. Modification approval will be consistent with the purpose of Title 17,
Auburn City Code and will not lessen the requirements of the Auburn zoning
ordinance. Approval of all the modifications will result in subdivision lots that
meet the minimum lot size and minimum lot width requirements of the Rl zoning
district. Modification approval will allow the Applicant to coordinate proposed
subdivision internal road system development with improvements to Kersey Way
SE. The improvements will ensure motorist safety and provide a pedestrian path
along streets. The improvements will not diminish level of service along the R
Street SE/Kersey Way SE and Evergreen Way SE arterial corridors. The request
to reduce 7 lot widths within the proposed subdivision will promote the effective
use of land, by allowing space for development of internal subdivision roads,
wetland/stream buffer areas, and single-family residential lots. The proposed
subdivision's internal street system will be public and will provide adequate
vehicular and pedestrian transportation routes for subdivision residents.
Modification approval would also be consistent with the goals and policies of the
City Comprehensive Plan (see Conclusion II (C), above). Findings 1,6 -10,12,
13 -18, 21 - 27, 29 - 35.
RECOMMENDATION
Based upon the preceding Findings and Conclusions, the Hearing Examiner for the City
of Auburn recommends to the Auburn City Council that the request for approval of a
preliminary plat application to subdivide four parcels of land, 22.97 total acres, into 70
single-family residential lots, a storm drainage tract and a wetland tract, and the related
requests for modifications be APPROVED, with preliminary plat approval subject to the
following conditions: 10
I. Prior to final plat approval, the construction of a gravity sewer system is required to serve the
property per the 2001 Comprehensive Sewer Plan along Kersey Way and along the White
River to the Lakeland hills (King County Metro) Pump Station; OR
IA. An alternative, a single sewer pump station, if feasible, may be constructed to
temporarily serve the proposed development until such time as the pennanent
gravity sewer is in place. Some of the feasibility issues to consider involve the
10 Conditions include both legal requirements applicable to all developments and conditions to mitigate the
specific impacts of this development.

ability to bypass pump the system, providing safe working pressures within the
pumping system, and available downstream capacity of the existing gravity
system. The pump station shall be designed and constructed to serve the sewer
basin determined by the City. In addition, the interim pump station shall be
located such that it provides adequate space to meet the design requirements for
the interim pump station, access to the pump station and access to the storm
drainage ponds. Meeting this requirement may impact the configuration and total
number of lots proposed, particularly lots 65 through 69.
2. Prior to final plat, the development is required to construct the following offsite
improvements as identified in the 200 1 Water Comp Plan to bring water from the valley
system to the zone four pressure zone to serve the site.

and Stuck River Road
b. OS - 213-1211, 1411; A 16-inch pipeline within Kersey Way, from 37th Way SE
through BP-112, to and through the site frontage (approximately 4000 linear feet).
3. An alternative to the completion of the Kersey Way booster pump station and Kersey Way
waterline improvements would require completion of the following as identified in the 2001
Water Comprehensive Plan:
a. BP-ll1; A booster pump facility located along East Valley Highway (EVH) near 8th
StE.
b. OS-208-1408, 1508; A 16-inch pipeline within EVH extending from the existing 12-
inch line south of Lakeland Hills Way to 8th St E (approximately 3000 linear feet).
c. OS-649-1509, 1510; A 12-inch pipeline within Elizabeth Ave SE extending from the
existing stub in Elizabeth Ave SE (north of 58th PI SE) to the northern entrance to
Elizabeth Loop SE (approximately 800 linear feet).
4. Construction activities within the southern portion of the plat (lots 1-19) shall not commence
until the connecting streets within Kersey III ~ivision 1 have been constructed and dedicated
as public streets.
5. Internal plat streets and utilities shall be extended to the adjoining property as depicted on the
preliminary plat. Easements shall be granted to the City for the temporary cul-de-sac
turnarounds where plat roads terminate at adjacent properties. These easements shall allow
for the City and/or its authorized agents to remove the cul-de-sacs at the time the roads are
extended to serve the adjoining property. Building setback requirements shall be measured
from the permanent lot boundary, not the easement edge.
6. In order to avoid negatively impacting Lot 1, the temporary cul-de-sac on Road B shall be
centered on the street alignment and equally intrude onto both Lots 1 and 9. Alternatively,
Lot 1 shall be designated as "unbuildable" until such time the temporary cul-de-sac is
removed.
7. A dedicated southbound right turn lane on Kersey Way SE to proposed Road E shall be
constructed as directed by the City Engineer, prior to final plat approval. The applicant shall
dedicate sufficient right-of-way to accommodate the turn lane.

both the construction of infrastructure (roads and utilities) and lot grading shall be approved
by the City Engineer. The objective of the plan should be to accomplish the desired amount
of grading during one construction period, while limiting the extent of exposed ground, and
to limit or avoid the need for subsequent grading and disturbance, including grading of
individual lots during home construction. The geotechnical engineer shall develop specific
recommendations to mitigate grading activities, with particular attention to developing a plan
to minimize the extent and time soils are exposed and also to address grading and related
activities during wet weather periods (the period of greatest concern is October 1 through
March 31).

be given particular attention by the geotechnical engineer and coordinated with the project
engineer responsible for the storm drainage system design
18. Prior to commencing site clearing or grading activities, the applicant shall submit a proposed
dust control plan for review and approval. This plan shall show methods of preventing dust
from impacting adjacent properties, natural and public storm drainage systems, and right-of-
ways. Control measures shall be implemented prior to the beginning and in conjunction with
on-site clearing, filling, grading or other construction activities.
19. Storm drainage facilities shall incorporate high standards of design to enhance the appearance
of the site and serve as an amenity. The design of above ground storage and conveyance
facilities shall incorporate landscaping utilizing native vegetation, minimal side slopes,
safety, maintenance needs, and function. Prior to final plan approval, a landscaping plan with
applicable cross-sections shall be provided to demonstrate that storm drainage pond aesthetic
requirements consistent with City standards can be accommodated on-site.

aeration shall be provided within the storm pond.
21. The applicant or a future Homeowners Association shall maintain those portions of the
stormwater tract, including landscaping and walls, located outside the fenced pond boundary
at the 10-year storm water surface elevation, as determined by the City Engineer.
22. The design of the storm drainage conveyance lines shall consider upstream bypass surface
flows, and route them appropriately through the project site, as approved by the City
Engineer.
23. Maintenance access shall be provided to all structures proposed to be in public ownership and
to the proposed storm ponds. The remaining portions (as applicable) of this system shall be
placed within a tract dedicated to the Homeowners Association for maintenance and
operation.

quantity and quality impacts from the proposed public street improvements associated with
the project including Kersey Way. Storm drainage from the public street improvements shall
not be allowed to drain into any private storm drainage facilities.
25. In order to alert potential lot purchasers of the presence of adjacent surface mining
operations, the following note shall be placed on the final plat and within the deed for each
home offered for sale: ''NOTICE: This property is near designated mineral resource lands on

26. Residential streets that are 28 feet in width, face of curb to face of curb, shall allow parking
on one side of the street only. "No Parking this Side" signs, in accordance with City of
Auburn standard details, shall be installed on the same side of the street where fire hydrants
are located, prior final plat approval. Failure to provide the ''No Parking" signs will result in
the street being declared a Fire Lane and additional signage and painting will be required by
the Fire Marshal in order to meet Auburn City Code 10.36.075, Fire Lanes Marking.
27. No direct lot access shall be allowed to 49th St SE, Kersey Way SE or Evergreen Way SE.
Access to the storm drainage pond may be provided from 49th St. SE, upon approval by the

shall be planted between the fence and the edge of the right-of-way. This requirement shall be
completed consistent with city design and construction standards.
29. Prior to issuance of construction permits, the applicant shall submit the proposed retaining
wall design and its aesthetic treatment for the wall to be located between the upper and lower
portions of the plat. The intent of the design shall be to mitigate the visual impact of this wall
for those lots located on the downhill (northern) side of the wall.
30. The final plat drawing shall contain the address of all lots as assigned by the City of Auburn.
31. A fmal mitigation plan, monitoring schedule, and contingency plan for the wetland/stream
corridor shall be submitted for review and approval by the Planning Director prior to the
commencement of any construction activities. The mitigation plan shall include measures to
prevent human activities within the buffer area. The mitigation plan shall be prepared
consistent with the City's Critical Areas Ordinance.
32. The Applicant shall design the public facilities, including but not limited to the location of
structures and appurtenances, to facilitate their future maintenance and operations such that
the impact of the steeper road grades are reduced, as approved by the City Engineer.
33. Where retaining walls are used adjacent to public roads or within a public facility, the
applicant shall provide either mechanically stabilized earth or cement concrete retaining
walls, as approved by the City Engineer.
34. Permanent gravity sanitary sewer service for the development is to be provided through a
connection to the future Kersey Way gravity line by routing flows down Road E (from the
manhole at the intersection of Road A and Road F) to Kersey Way. Permanent gravity
service to the Road A cul-de-sac may be routed through Tract D and then to the future Kersey
Way gravity line. Should the interim lift station be acceptable, the developer will need to
provide a temporary gravity line from the Kersey Way line to the proposed lift station.

Subject: Slope Stability and Setback Recommendations
Proposed lakeland Hills Estates
5022 Kersey Way Southeast
Auburn, Washington
Dear Mr. Finch:
via facsimile (425) 254-9892
On September 28. 2005, the undersigned principal engineer met with you at the project site. The
purposes of this visit were to observe the existing site conditions, discuss the planned development,
and monitor the excavation of test pits along the slope on the western side of the property. This
letter presents a summary of our findings related to stability of the western slope. Our services
were provided in general accordance with the scope that you authorized in olir Contract for
Professional Services.
We understand that that the entire property will be developed with numerous residential lots. Of
these, approximately eight lots and the detention tract will adjoin the slope that declines to a
shallow ravine running along the western edge of the site. During our visit to the site, we measured
the inclination of this slope using a hand-held inclinometer, which is accurate to within
approximately 2 percent. Based on our measurements, this western slope has an average
inclination of 30 to 35 percent, and a height of 20 to 30 feet. The slope was covered with brush and
there were several mature trees growing on it. We observed no indications 'of recent instability on
this slope. The remainder of the property generally appears to be inclined at less than 30 percent.
-
We observed the excavation of three test pits spaced at relatively even intervals alolig' ttTe western
slope. These explorations were located within 15 feet of the slope's crest.. All three test pits
encountered generally similar conditions consisting of loose, slightly silty sand. that became
medium-dense to dense below a depth of approximately 3 feet. These soils were exposed to the
maximum 10-foot depth of the explorations, and no groundwater or wet soils were observed. We
observed similar sand soils in soil exposures at various locations around the property.
. Based on our observations and the soil conditions encountered in the test pits, the potential for
future instability on the western slope is low. This slope is not steep, and is comprised of sand soils
. without a high groundwater table. If soil movement does occur on the slope, it would be confined to
the near-surface looser sand and should not affect the denser sand beneath. As a result, the
planned development should no~ adversely affect the slope's stability, provided the slope is not'
improperly disturbed, and runoff from the development is not discharged onto the slope. Fill and
clearing debris must not be placed on th~ slope, unless it is retained by an e'ngineered retention
system.. We recommend that conventional footings for the residences be located no closer than 25

feet to the slope's crest. This is a more than sufficient building setback to protect the house
foundations. in the event of shallow slope movement. No filling should occur within 10 feet of the
slope's crest.
-Due to the permeability of the sand soils, we recommend that an impervious liner be used for the
entire detention pond if any part of it extends to within 50 feet of the slope's crest. This prevents
infiltration of the detained water into the soil close to the slope. The pond should not be closer than
25 feet to the slope.
L1MITA TIONS
The conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on site conditions as they
existed at the time of our site visit. If the subsurface conditions encountered during CQnstruction
are significantly different from those anticipated, we should be advised at once so that we can
review these conditions and reconsider our recommendations where necessary. Unanticipated soil
conditions are commonly encountered on construction sites. Such unexpected' conditions
frequently require making additional expenditures to attain a properly constructed project.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Lakeland Hills Estates, LLC, and its
representatives, for specific application to this project and site. Our recommenda,tions and
conclusions are based on the site materials observed and on previous experience with sites that
have similar observed conditions. The conclusions and recommendations are professional opinions
derived. in accordance with current' standards of practice within the limited scope of our services.
No warranty is expressed or impJied.
We trust that this report meets your immediate needs for the proposed development. Please
contact us if we can be of further service.

I. PROJECT OVERVIEW
Site Location and Project Proposal
The project is located on the south side of Kersey Way SE at the intersection of Kersey Way
and SE 49th Street in Auburn, W A. The site is located in the southwest quarter of Section 32,
Township 21 North, Range 5 East in the City of Auburn. Please see the attached Vicinity Map
for location.
The proposed project contemplates subdivision of approximately 22.97 acres ofland into (a)
71 residential lots for single-family detached homes, (b) public residential access streets, and
(c) a tract for drainage facilities. The project will include site grading to establish (1) building
pads on each of the proposed lots, (2) the public streets, and (3) an open pond-type stormwater
detention-water quality facility (and associated maintenance access road).
Existing Site Conditions
The current use of the site and adjacent properties are all large lot single family residential.
Currently there are two single family residences and some outbuildings on the project site. The
site is mostly forested with cleared areas around the single family residences, which could be
classified as lawns although some of the cleared areas are not maintained and could be
considered pasture.
The site is generally sloped 15-20% with some flat areas at'existing residences near Kersey
Way. The steepest slope which is located in the NW section of the site approaches a 35-40%
slope. No steep slopes (over 40%) are indicated.
According to the 1973 King County Soils Survey, the site soils are mapped as Alderwood
gravelly sandy loam, 6 to 15 percent slopes (AgC).
There is an unclassified stream located in a ravine on the western edge of the property. The
stream flows under Kersey Way S.E. and connects into Bowman Creek NW of the site.
Bowman Creek then ultimately flows into the White River.

II. OFF-SITE DRAINAGE ANALYSIS
Upstream Tributary Area
An upstream tributary are lies to the south of the project site. The direction of flow is almost
due north, sheet flowing across the south property line. There don't appear to be any
concentrated flows such as creeks or ravines contributing directly to the site at this point. The
areas to the east, west and south of this project are proposed to be developed, and is currently
under review at the city. This neighboring project is currently known as the Kersey III
development. For this project and the drainage calculations contained herein, it is assumed that
the Kersey III development will be completed and all drainage from that site will be diverted
to the on-site storm detention/retention system associated with that project. There will be no
off-site drainage contributing to this site upon completion of the Kersey III development. In
the event that the Kersey ill development is not completed, a more detailed analysis of the
upstream basin will be performed for this project, as necessary, during the course of the design
reVIews.
Downstream Analysis
There is an unclassified stream located in a ravine on the western edge of the property. The
stream flows under Kersey Way S.E. and connects into Bowman Creek NW of the site.
Bowman Creek then ultimately flows into the White River.

III. FLOW CONTROL & WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS AND
DESIGN
PART A - EXISTING SITE HYDROLOGY
. The current use of the site and adjacent properties are all large lot single family residential.
Currently there are two single family residences and some outbuildings on the project site. The
site is mostly forested with cleared areas around the single family residences, which could be
classified as lawns although some of the cleared areas are not maintained and could be
considered pasture.
The site is generally sloped 15-20% with some flat areas at existing residences near Kersey
Way. The steepest slope which is located in the NW section of the site approaches a 35-40%
slope. No steep slopes (over 400-10) are indicated.
According to the 1973 King COlmty Soils Survey, the site soils are mapped as Alderwood
gravelly sandy loam, 6 to 15 percent slopes (AgC).
There is an unclassified stream located in a ravine on the western edge of the property. The
stream flows under Kersey Way S.E. and connects into Bowman Creek NW of the site.
Bowman Creek then ultimately flows into the White River.
The total site area is 22.97 acres, but the existing wetland will not be included in the drainage
calculations because it will ultimately be downstream of, and thus will not contribute to, the
detention facility. The wetland area is approximately 3.03 acres. The remaining are that will
be analyzed on the site measures approximately 19;94 acres.
The hydrological soil group is "C" according to the above described soil type identified on
site. Two-thirds of the site is covered by trees, eN = 74. The remaining one-third of the site is
covered by lawns, buildings and driveways, a conservative approach is to consider all of this
area as lawn, CN = 70. Combining the two site conditions results in a composite pervious
surface, CN = 71. Please refer to the Appendix for the SCS Western Washington Runoff
Curve Numbers, Table 111-1.3.
According to WSDOE Isopluvial Maps (please see appendix), the estimated precipitation
values are:

PART B - DEVELOPED SITE HYDROLOGY
The proposed project contemplates subdivision of approximately 22.97 acres of land into (a)
71 residential lots for single-family detached homes, (b) public residential access streets, and
(c) a tract for drainage facilities. The project will include site grading to establish (1) building
pads on each of the proposed lots, (2) the public streets, and (3) an open pond-type stormwater
detention-water quality facility (and associated maintenance access road).
Project generated stormwater will be collected in a pipe and catch basin system and routed to
the proposed stormwater facility to be located in Tract A. The stormwater facility will be
designed to the parameters of the City of Auburn's design standards as described below. The
facility is planned to discharge from the pond into unclassified stream described above, then
under Kersey Way SE into Bowman Creek and continuing ultimately to the White River.
The site area analyzed for the developed condition is the same as the pre-developed condition,
19.94 acres.
The hydrological soil group is "C" according to the above described soil type identified on
site. The site has approximately 9.66 acres of impervious surface, consisting of roads,
sidewalks, driveways, roofs, and pond water surface, CN = 98. The remaining pervious
surface is approximately 10.28 acres of lawns, CN = 86. Please refer to the Appendix for the
SCS Western Washington RunofICurve Numbers, Table 111-1.3.
PART C - HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS
The drainage analysis uses Engenious Systems, Inc's WaterWorks software, utilizing the
Santa Barbara Urban Hydrograph (SBUH) methodology.
In accordance with City of Auburn drainage standards the discharge rates from storm drainage
detention system shall be based upon the peak discharged rates. The peaks shall be equal to or
less than the following criteria:
· The 2-year 24-hour developed discharge shall match 50% of the existing 2-year
24-hour peak storm event;
· The 10-year 24-hour developed discharge shall match to the ~xisting 10-year 24-hour
peak storm event;
· The 25-year 24-hour developed discharge shall match to the existing 25-year 24-hour
peak storm event; ,
· The lOO-year 24-hour developed discharge shall match to the existing 100-year 24-
hour peak storm event;

Each storm event outflow is equal to or below the required matching pre-developed peak
storm event. The pond as designed will be 136-feet long, 80-feet wide, and 8-feet deep,
containing 117,419 cubic feet of storage capacity.
A tee type control structure with two orifices and a notch at the top of the riser pipe will be
constructed to meet the release rate standards. These calculations have been included.
PART E - WATER QUALITY TREATMENT
Water quality treatment has been calculated in accordance with the requirements set forth in
the City of Auburn's Design and Construction Standards Manual. The rainfall amount has
been calculated by taking 72-percent of the 2-year 24-hour isopluvial, which results in 1.44-
inches of precipitation. Engenious Systems, Inc's WaterWorks computer software was used to
size the water quality facility. The storage will be provided in a pre-settling type pond prior to
outletting to the detention pond. The required storage volume needed for water quality
treatment is 59,718 cubic feet
Given the restrictions of the site, a bio-filtration swale or bio-filtration filter are not practicable
options due to slopes in the site. The best option is a wetpond or pre-sett1~g pond for this site.
IV. CONVEYANCE SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
The conveyance analysis will be included in the :final Technical Information Report at
construction document submittal. The system will be designed to convey the 25-year peak
flows and a backwater analysis will be performed to check for flooding conditions at the 100-
year event per the King County Surface Water Design Manual. ,

J 1/1//2005
v. EROSION/SEDIMENTATION CONTROL DESIGN
Erosion and sedimentation control will be provided by utilizing BMPs selected from the City
of Auburn Design and Construction Standards. These BMPs will likely include, but are not
necessarily limited to, sediment pond(s) and/or trap(s), silt fencing, construction safety
fencing, interceptor v-ditches, rock check dams, plastic sheeting of stockpiles, straw mulch,
hydro-seeding, catch basin protection, and rocked construction entrance, etc.
A Temporary Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan will be submitted as part of the
construction documents detailing the means by which sediment and erosion control will be
handled during construction.
Filter fabric fence will be used as perimeter protection, which will reduce sediment transport
from the site. A gravel construction entrance will reduce the amount of sediment transported
by construction vehicles and reduce the areas disturbed by vehicular traffic. Clearing limits
will be delineated on the construction plans for the purpose of preventing disturbance of those
areas of the project that are not designated for clearing and or grading. A construction
sequence will be provided to aid the contractor in applying the erosion control measures at the
appropriate stages during construction

Curve Number
2.3.2 Runoff Parameters
All storm event hydrograph methods require input of parameters that
describe physical drainage basin characteristics. These parameters provide
the basis from which the runoffhydrograph is developed. This section
describes only the key parameter of curve number that is used to estimate the'
runoff from the water quality design storm. .
The NRCS (formerly SCS) has, for many years, conducted studies of the
runoff characteristics for various land types. After gathering and
analyzing extensive data, NRCS has developed relationships between land
use, soil type, vegetation cover, interception, infiltration, surface storage,
and runoff. The relationships have been characterized by a single runoff
coefficient called a "curve number." The National Engineering Handbook
- Section 4: Hydrology (NEH-4, SCS, August 1972) contains a detailed
description of the development and use of the curve number method.
NRCS has developed "curve number" (CN) values based on soil type and
land use. They can be found in "Urban Hydrology for SmaIl Watersheds",
Technical Release 55 (lR-55), June 1986, published by the NRCS. The
combination of these two factors is called the "soil-cover complex." The
soil-cover complexes have been assigned to one of four hydrologic soil
groups, according to their runoff characteristics. NRCS has classified over
4,000 soil types into these four soil groups. Table 2.2 shows the
hydrologic soil group of most soils in the state of Washington and
provides a brief description of the four groups. For details on other soil
types refer to the NRCS publication mentioned above (TR-55, 1986).

Notes:
Hydrologic Soil Group ClassifICations, as Defined by the Soil Conservation Service:
A = (Low runoff potenJiaJ) Soils having low runoff potential and high infiltration rates, even when thoroughfy wetted. They
consist chiefly of deep, well to excessively drained sands or gravels and have a high rate of water transmission (greater than
0.30 in/hr.).
B = (Moderately low runoff potential). Soils having moderate infiltration rates when thoroughly wetted and consist chiefly of
moderately deep to deep, moderately well to well drained soils with moderately fine to moderately coarse textures, These
soils have a moderate rate of water transmission (0. J 5-0.3 inlhr.).
C = (Moderately high runoff potential). Soils having low infiltration rates when thoroughly wetted and consist chiefly of soils
with a layer that impedes downward movement of water and soils with moderately fine to fine textures. These soils have a
low rate of water transmission (0.05-0.15 inlhr.).
D = (High runoff potential). Soils having high runoff potential. They have very low infiltration rates when thoroughly wetted
and consist chiefly of clay soils with a high swelling potenJiaJ, soils with a permanent high water table, soils with a hardpan
or clay layer at or near the swface, and shallow soils over nearly impervious material. These soils have a very low rate of
water transmission (0-0.05 inlhr.).
· = From SCs, TR-55, Second Edition. June 1986, Exhibit A- J. Revisions made from SCS, Soil Interpretation Record, Form #5,
September 1988 and various county soil Slll'Veys.
Table 2.3 shows the CNs, by land use description, for the four hydrologic
soil groups. These numbers are for a 24-hour duration storm and typical
antecedent soil moisture condition preceding 24-hour stoons.
The following are important criteria/considerations for selection of CN
values:
Many factors may affect the CN value for a given land use. For example,
the movement of heavy equipment over bare ground may compact the soil
so that it has a lesser infiltration rate and greater runoff potential than
would be indicated by strict application of the CN value to developed site
conditions. '
CN values can be area weighted when they apply to pervious areas of
similar CNs (within 20 CN points). However, high CN areas should not
be combined with low CN areas. In this case, se~te estimates of S
(potential maximum natural detention) and Qd (runoff depth) should be
generated and summed to obtain the cumulative runoff volume unless the
low CN areas are less than 15 percent of the subbasin.
Separate CN values must be selected for the pervious and impervious
areas of an urban basin or subbasin. For residential districts the percent
impervious area given in Table 2.3 must be used to compute the respective

1 Introduction
.'
This analysis documents the traffic conditions associated with the construction and
occupation of the proposed Lakeland Hill Estates residential development. Its purpose is to
identify traffic related impacts generated by the proposed PI:Qject and, .where appropriate,
outline programmatic and/or physical improvements to minimize or eliminate potential
adverse effects of these impacts.
1.1 Project Location
The project site is located in the City of Auburn, Washington. More specifically, this project
would be located in the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Kersey Way SE at 49th
Street SE. The general location of the site is shown on the vicinity map in Figure 1.
1.2 Project Description
Lakeland Hill Estates, u.c, is proposing to develop a 71-unit single-family detached
residential development. The site would be served by an internal public road network with
access directly onto Kersey Way SE and indirect access onto Evergreen Way SE through
adjacent development connectivity. The site is currently occupied by four single-family
homes, all of which would be removed as part of this development. On-site construction is
expected to begin in 2006 and the horizon year for this project has been assumed to be
2008. Figure 2 illustrates the proposed site plan.
1.3 Study Process, Organization, and.Scope
This study follows the guidelines set forth by the City of Auburn Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA)
Guidelines. The study will first look at the existing conditions to determine the state of the
current street network and traffic characteristics within the study area. The study will then
. anfllyze the future background conditions that represent forecasted traffic conditions in the
. area assuming the proposed project is not constructed. Next, the study will analyze the
forecasted conditions with the project and compare the results to the future background
conditions to determine the direct impacts associated with the proposed project as well as
cumulative traffic conditions. Finally, mitigation measures, if necessary, will be proposed to
counter the impacts as predicted.

The scope of this analysis was determined with the assistance of City of Auburn staff.
Through this scoping process, the following two arterial corridors were identified as
potentially impacted during the PM peak hour:
. R Street/Kersey Way corridor from Auburn Way S / 17th Street SE to the southern
City limits.
. Evergreen Way corridor from Lakeland Hills Way to Kersey Way.
r:.. _
The affected intersections within these corridors include the following locations:

Existing Conditions
This section of the report describes existing transportation conditions in the vicinity of the
proposed development and includes a description of the street system, traffic control, traffic
volumes, levels of service, and transit service. It is intended to serve as a basis for
subsequent analysis of forecasted transportation conditions with the project.
1.4 Street Network
The street network is suburban or rural in character in the vicinity of the site. A more
detailed description of the street network studied, specifically the affected arterials, is
presented below.
R Street SE / Kersey Way SE Corridor connects Auburn Way SI17th Street SE to the
north with the King County / Pierce County boundary line to the south. Between 17th
Street SE and Oravetz Road, this corridor is designated R Street SE. This street has one lane
in each direction for its entire length. This corridor has a posted speed limit of 35 MPH,
although observed speeds are considerably higher. This corridor has a combination of
gravel shoulders and curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. Dedicated left- and right-turn lanes are
provided at selected intersections. Kersey Way SE bounds the site to the east and is one of
the major streets serving the site vicinity.

Lakeland Hills Way SE connects East Valley Highway East to the northwest with Lake
Tapps Parkway East to the southeast. The posted speed limit is 30 MPH along the entire
length of the street Lakeland Hills Way SE serves one lane of traffic in each direction with
dedicated left- and right-turn lanes as well as a central two-way left-turn lane at selected
locations. There are curbs, gutters, and sidewalks lining both sides of the street.
I.
Oravetz Road links Lakeland Hills Way SE to the southwest and R Street SE / Kersey Way
SE to the northeast To the southwest, Oravetz Road serves one lane of traffic in each
direction with a center two-way left turn lane. The posted speed limit is 30 MPH and curbs,
gutters, and sidewalks line both sides of the street. To the northeast, there is no center two-
way left-turn lane, the speed limit increases to 35 MPH, and there are gravel shoulders on
both sides of the street. Dedicated left- and right-turn lanes are provided at selected
intersections along the entire length of the street.

Evergreen Way SE currently runs from the west at Lakeland Hills Way to just east of
Quincy Avenue SE / Evergreen Loop SE, where the roadway terminates. Evergreen Way
SE serves one lane of traffic in each direction with a posted speed limit or 30 MPH. Curbs,
gutters, and sidewalks line both sides of the street The planned extension of Evergreen Way
SE would provide an east/west corridor between Lakeland Hills Way SE and Kersey Way

1.5 Traffic Control
Currently, two of the analysis intersections are signalized. These are the intersections of R .
Street SE at 29th Street SE, and 18200 Avenue E at 9th Street E. The intersection of Kersey
Way SE at Oravetz Road is now undergoing signalization and will therefore be considered a
signalized intersection for this report. All other analysis intersections are currently
unsignalized.
1.6 Existing Traffic Volumes
f ;;
For the purpose of this traffic analysis, the PM peak hour time period was used as the
primary basis for evaluating traffic impacts. The traditional PM peak hour occurs between
the hours of 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM. This two-hour period is then broken down into 15-
minute intervals. The peak hour within this two-hour period is identified as the 60-minute
interval associated with the greatest four consecutive I5-minute traffic volumes. The PM
peak hour was selected as the analysis hour because it represents the time period when the
combination of background and project-generated traffic volumes are anticipated to reach
the greatest levels, thus resulting the highest potential traffic impact
Existing 2005 PM peak hour volumes were obtained from the City's traffic model and
checked for relative accuracy by obtaining a PM peak hour turning movement count at the
intersection of Kersey Way SE at 53rd Street SE. This turning movement count was

conducted on Wednesday, October 13, 2004. These volumes were also compared to the
2005 average daily traffic volumes along these corridors provided by Mirai Transportation
Planning and Engineering to confirm consistency. Resultant traffic volumes are shown in

1.7 Existing Level of Service
t .,' ~
TSI examined the level of service for the existing conditions at the intersections and arterial
corridOls identified as potentially impacted during the PM peak hour. Level of service (LOS)
is a measure of the ability of a given transportation facility to serve traffic using the street
netwOlK. The Transportation Research Board developed the LOS methodology used in
making this evaluation and it is summarized in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), 2000.
r;-"
Intersection LOS is defined in tenns of seconds of average vehicle control-delay. Control-
delay includes all of the time a driver is delayed at an intersection. At signalized
intersections, the majority of control-delay is generally associated with waiting during a red
light. At unsignalized intersections, the majority of control-delay is generally associated with
moving through the queue at a stop sign controlled approach. Control-delay at both types
of intersection also includes the time to decelerate while approaching an intersection and
accelerate after leaving an intersection.
Seconds of control-delay are divided into several categories ranging from LOS-A, which is
very good, to LOS-F, which reflects a breakdown in traffic flow. Although these letter
designations provide a simple basis for comparison, seconds of average vehicle delay should
be used as the exact measure of comparison. The LOS category breakdown by control-
delay is summarized below in Table 1.

The results of the existing intersection LOS calculations are presented in Table 2 below. For
signalized intersections, the LOS represents the average LOS for an entire intersection. For
unsignalized intersections, the LOS for the worst movement only is presented. All LOS
worksheets associated with this document can be found in the appendices.

In addition to intersection LOS, arterial corridor LOS was evaluated. Arterial LOS is defined
in tenns of average travel speed along a street corridor and is measured separately for each
direction of travel. Typically, most if not all of the delay along a corridor occurs at
intersections. The average travel speed is divided into several categories ranging from LOS-
A, which is very good" to LOS-F, which reflects a breakdown in traffic flow. Although these
letter designations provide a simple basis for comparison, the actual average travel speed is
. a more meaningful basis for comparison. In addition to average travel speed, arterial LOS
also depends on the arterial classification. Arterial classification is divided into four
categories ranging from Category I (a high-speed principal arterial with strict access control)
to Category N (a low-speed urban arterial with minimal access control). The LOS category
breakdown defined in the HCM-2000 for arterial LOS is summarized below in Table 3.

The Growth Management Act requires that all jurisdictions within the state ensure that
transportation facilities have adequate capacity to rneet current and future traffic demand.
Consequently, before any future development is approved by a jurisdiction, it must be
shown that adequate capacity exists or capacity improvements will be in place to serve traffic
generated by the development prior its construction and occupation. If a transportation
facility is operating over capacity under existing conditions, future development cannot
cause the facility to deteriorate any further. These tests are tenned traffic concurrency and
can be measured a number of ways, including intersection LOS and arterial LOS. The City
of Auburn measures concurrency in terms of arterial LOS.
1.8 Existing Transit Service
t 'f'
There is no transit service provided adjacent the project site. The nearest transit service
available is via King County Metro Route 151, which provides limited service along Mill
Pond Drive. Consequently, it was assumed that all trips entering and exiting the site would
be via private vehicle, which creates a more conservative analysis.
1.9 Existing Non-Motorized Transportation
In the vicinity of the site, non-motorized transportation facilities are limited for pedestrian
and bicycle use. There are no bicycle lanes or sidewalks in the near vicinity of the site.
Therefore, pedestrian and bicycle transportation are not anticipated to playa major role in
the movement of people between the site and the surrounding communities.

2 Forecasted Background Conditions without the Project
. [e'
This section of the report outlines the assumptions and steps taken to forecast future traffic
volumes without the proposed project. It discusses the potential impacts of additional
automobile traffic in the site vicinity generated by the growth in the area and the impacts
associated with other transportation issues.
2.1 Planned Street Network Improvements
[.'"
Based on the City of Auburn Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for 2005 through
2010, multiple facility improvements are planned in the vicinity of the proposed project.
These planned improvements include the following projects:
i .
" -
f.....
. Kersey Way SE at Oravetz Road Intersection Signalization
. Kersey Way Trail - Non-motorized trail running parallel Kersey Way
. Bicycle Lanes - Along Kersey Way, 53rd Street SE to 9th Street E
. Extension of Evergreen Way SE to Kersey Way SE.
The signalization at the intersection of Kersey Way SE at Oravetz Road and the extension of
Evergreen Way SE are both expected to increase vehicular capacity within the vicinity of the
site. With the extension of Evergreen Way, the intersection of Evergreen Way SE and
Kersey Way SE is expected to be signalized. In addition, intersection improvements at the
intersection of Evergreen Way and Lakeland Hills Way SE, to include either signalization or
conversion of the intersection to a roundabout, are proposed.
, .
At this time the adjacent development known as Kersey III is on hold, however for the
purpose of analysis, it has been assumed that the Evergreen Way extension will be in place
in 2008. In the event the connection through Kersey III is not fully constructed before partial
occupancy of this proposed development, provisions for a secondary access point may be
required or City development standardsIllay limit the number of t,lnits that can be occupied
with a single site access.
2.2 Background Traffic Volumes
For the purpose of this analysis, the year 2008 was selected as the design year for this
project. In 2008 this development is expected to be fully constructed and occupied, thus the
corresponding travel patterns would be established. This section of the report describes year
2008 background traffic conditions as a basis for evaluating cumulative traffic impacts and
isolating project specific impacts. The background traffic conditions are the future traffic
patterns on the road network forecasted without the construction and occupation of the
proposed development.

f .
For this report, the background traffic volumes were forecast by adding the pipeline traffic
volumes from the proPosed Kersey III development and an additional 3. 7 percent annual
background growth rate (based on City staff recommendation) to the existing volumes. The
resulting background traffic volume forecasts are presented in Figure 4.
2.3 Background Level of Service
A level of service analysis was conducted for year 2008 background traffic conditions
without the project, as summarized in Table 5. The level of service worksheets for the 2008
afternoon peak hour background conditions can be found in the appendices.

3 Forecasted Conditions with the Project
r '!'
This section of the report analyzes the forecasted traffic volumes associated with the
proposed project and discusses the potential impacts associated with project generated
vehicular traffic near the site. Other transportation issues, including site access and parking
that relate to the daily operation of the project, are also addressed. The forecasted
conditions with the project will be compared with the background traffic conditions to
determine any associated impacts with the addition of the proposed project.
3.1 Project Generated Traffic Volumes
TSI uses a generally accepted transportation planning approach that includes the following
steps for forecasting travel demand:
1. ~
. Trip Generation: Trips produced by the occupancy.ofthe project.
. Mode Split: Proportion of trips by travel mode (automobile, transit, other).
. Trip Distribution: Originsldestinations and routes of trips.
. Travel Assignment: Net number of new trips using the street network by route.
3.1.1 Trip Generation
t
Trip generation is an estimate of the number of vehicles that enter and leave a site for a
particular land use. For traditional developments, such as the proposed project, standard
manuals, such as the ITE Trip Generation Manual, are used as a basis for this forecasting
process. For this analysis, the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 7th Edition, was used to forecast
the gross trip generation associated with the proposed project as prescribed in the City's
Traffic Impact Analysis guideliries. The project is categorized as Land Use Code (LUC) 210,

As shown in Table 7, the time period generating the greatest hourly volume is anticipated to
be the PM peak hour. In this time period, 68 net new trips are forecasted to be generated by
the proposed project with 43 trips directed inbound and 25 directed outbound. Therefore,
only the PM peak hour will be analyzed as indicated in Section 1.6, "Existing Traffic
Volumes." The gross trip generation estimates have been reduced by the number of trips
forecasted to be generated by the existing land uses on the site to yield net new trip
generation estimates.
3.1.2 Mode Split
As described in Section 1.8, "Existing Transit Service," no transit service is provided in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed site. Although a non-motorized trail is planned parallel
to Kersey Way within the vicinity of the site and bicycle lanes are planned along Kersey Way
SE south of the site, all of the trips arriving to and departing from the site were assumed to
be via private vehicle. This assumption maintains a conservative analysis.

3.1.3 Trip Distribution and Travel Assignment
t ~.
Using engineering judgment and practice, the forecast trip distribution for this proposed
development has been developed through a combination of the distribution formulated by
City's traffic model for the proposed Kersey III development site, which is adjacent to this
development site,and the current traffic flow trends of the surrounding road netwOlK. The
resultant traffic distribution pattern is shown in Figure 5.
~~"i
i-':
, .
1('-.
r.
The trip distribution and trip generation were combined to develop a traffic assignment at
the analysis intersections. The travel assignment traffic volumes are also shown in Figure 5.
The resulting project trips were then added to the background traffic volumes. Figure 6
illustrates the combination of the background and forecasted project generated traffic to
show the total forecasted intersection volumes in the immediate vicinity of the site with the

Table 8 shows all signalized intersections analyzed would operate at LOS-D or better during
the PM peak hour with the project. The eastbound approach at the intersection of Howard
Road and R Street SE is forecast to operate at LOS-F. However, this approach operates at
LOS-F even under existing conditions. Furthennore, the delay associated with this project at
this approach is forecasted to be only negligibly greater than that forecasted for future
background conditions without the project. The westbound approach at the intersection of
17th Street SE and Auburn Way S is forecast to operate at LOS-E. However, this approach
operates at LOS-E even under existing conditions. As with the eastbound approach of
Howard Road, the delay associated with this project at this approach is forecasted to be only
negligibly greater than that forecasted for future background conditions without the project.

S.S Site Access .
~.
As presented Section 1.2, "Project Description," the site would potentially be served by two
accesses. One of these access locations would provide direct access onto Kersey Way SE.
The other access, through various connections with the adjacent development, would be via
the Evergreen Way SE extension.
f '
I:
Based on the level of service calculations prepared for the intersection of the site access at
Kersey Way SE, the eastbound minor approach from the site is forecasted to operate at
LOS-C with an average delay of approximately 20 seconds per vehicle. The overall
intersection LOS would be LOS-A.
~
,.
The applicant proposes on-site roadway grading and clearing to allow for the proposed
auxiliary lanes at the access location along Kersey Way SE. The applicant proposes the
addition of a southbound right-turn lane into the site as well as a northbound left-turn lane
into the site.
r }"
S.4 Sight Distance
f ...
Entering and stopping sight distances were estimated on Kersey Way SE at the proposed
location of the primary access, reflecting preliminary construction drawings prepared by
Pacific Engineering. These estimates were measured consistent with the City of Auburn
Design and Construction Standards, Reference Tables RG-2 and RG-5. The estimated
available values, along with the recommended minimum standards are presented below in
Table 10.
~' , '2 ,
The posted speed limit along Kersey Way SE at this location is 35 MPH. Customary
engineering practice is to use a design speed 5 to 10 MPH higher than the posted speed
limit. However, because multiple speed studies indicate that this corridor is frequently
traveled at speeds significantly higher than the posted speed limit, the available sight
distances at this location have been compared against the minimum standards for both a
design speed of 50 MPH and a design speed of 45 MPH.

J.
Sight lines south of the proposed access location appear to be limited due to a vertical crest
curve along Kersey Way SE. Sight lines north of the proposed access location appear to be
limited due to the horizontal curvature north of the access. Traffic traveling at excessive
speed on northbound Kersey Way approaching the proposed site access may not have
sufficient stopping sight distance because of vertical curvature and the additional stopping
distance required due to the road's downgrade. Stopping sight distance is that distance
necessary to comfortably stop to avoid an object 0.5 feet high. Note that this deficiency is
an existing condition and the presence of small objects such as debris in the roadway is not
expected to increase with the project.
i t
Nonetheless, the City of Auburn Police Department may desire to conduct additional speed
enforcement to deter the speeding behavior observed. Note that traffic traveling the speed
limit or even 10 mph over the speed limit has adequate stopping sight distance to
comfortably come to a stop.
3.5 Forecasted Transit Service with the Project
Transit service is expected to remain as presented in Section 2.5, "Existing Transit Service,"
and is not anticipated to playa major role in transportation to and from this proposed
development
3.6 Forecasted Non-Motorized Transportation with the Project
. ~
Non-motorized transportation is anticipated in the vicinity of the site is expected to change
with the implementation of the planned non-motorized trail, which will run parallel Kersey
Way SE near the site and the addition of bicycle lanes along Kersey Way SE south of the

site. However, pedestrian and bicycle transportation are not anticipated to playa major role
in the movement of people between the site and the surrounding destinations.
8.7 Internal Roadway System
"
Lakeland Hill Estates would be served by an internal street system that would provide access
to the surrounding City street network. Cut-thru traffic using the internal roadway of this
development is expected to be minimal due to the alternative opportunity provided for
access and egress into the traffic flow along Kersey Way at the proposed signalized
intersection of Evergreen Way SE and Kersey Way SE. This gravitation of traffic to the
signalized intersection and the minimal amount of project generated traffic within the site
suggests that the main roadWay through the site would most likely be classified as a non-
arterial.
! .
L
>-~
Due to the topography of the site, the applicant may need to secure a deviation from City
standards regarding the slope of the internal roadway.
! .
8.8 Parking
Each individual lot would include off-street parking. In addition, on-street parking would be
available within the site where not restricted by law.
r'
8.9 Possible Mitigation
There are several conditions that could warrant the development of mitigation measures in
response to the construction and occupancy of a proposed development. Examples of these
conditions include existing geometric deficiencies on the street network surrounding the
proposed development, improvements along the' developments frontage, impacts to offsite
street network facilities, and the traffic impact fee payable to the City of Auburn.
3.9.1 Site Access to Kersey Way SE
It is possible that even with improvements to Kersey Way associated with the project,
northbound traffic exceeding the speed limit by 15 mph may not be provided the
recommended minimum stopping sight distance. Construction of auxiliary turn lanes will
facilitate stopping or avoidance maneuvers should they ever be necessary because of a fixed
object or stalled vehicle in the roadway; and illumination at the intersection will also assist .
drivers in identifying a hazard.
Other mitigation to optimize sight lines should include removal of vegetation along both the
easterly and westerly edges of Kersey Way SE within the public right of way and on the
applicant's properties, from the site access to approximately 500 feet north and south of the
access.

The planned installation of traffic signals on Kersey Way SE at the intersections of Oravetz
Road and Evergreen Way SE will contribute to a change in roadway character, which may
create a higher level of driver awareness and in turn lower travel speeds.
! .'"
, I,;' .
The City of Auburn Police Department may want to conduct additional speed enforcement
along this corridor, given the significant disparity between observed speeds and the posted
speed limit.
If the traveled speeds along this section of Kersey Way are not reduced with the change in
character along the corridor, the City may want to consider installation of traffic signage
along Kersey Way approaching the intersection, warning approaching drivers that an
intersection is ahead. One approach would be to install 36-inch by 36-inch yellow warning
signs in the style of sign type W2-2; side road sign, as shown in the Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices. Alternative signage could include text that would read "HIDDEN
INfERSECTlON'~. The signs should be placed approximately 425 feet in advance of the
access,. as measured along the centerline of Kersey Way SE, and at least 6 feet from the edge
of shoulder or pavement.
3.9.2 Other Mitigation
Auxiliary right-turn and left-turn lanes along Kersey Way SE into the site are proposed to
help mitigate any potential safety issues associated with the proposed site access location.
This development is not expected to have a significant impact on the adjacent corridors or
the intersections analyzed for this report, and therefore no off-site transportation related
mitigation is warranted.
3.9.3 On-Site Roadway Design
The applicant may need to seek a deviation to the City of Auburn's Design Standards for
maximum slope allowed along roadways due to the topography of the site. Installation of
traffic calming measures such as chicanes or other devices may be placed along the main
on-site roadway where feasible. The Institute of Transportation Engineers describes
chicanes as:
· a series of narrowings or curb extensions that alternate from one side of the street to
the other forming S-shaped curves
· also called deviations, serpentines, reversing curves, twists, and staggerings.
Other traffic calming measures such as intersection bulbouts may be appropriate. However,
devices which induce a vertical deflection such as speed humps are not appropriate on the
primary north/south road due to its relatively steep slope.

In the event the connection through Kersey III is not hilly constructed before partial
occupancy of Lakeland Hill Estates, all site traffic would potentially travel through the
intersection of Kersey Way and the primary site access. If this were to be the case, levels of
service for site traffic at this intersection would only deteriorate slightly. If the Evergreen
Way Extension is not expected to be completed by the time full occupancy of this
development is expected to occur, the applicant may need to seek alternative means of
gaining secondary site access.
J,',

3.9.4 Traffic ImpactFee
L1'
The City of Auburn collects traffic impact fees for residential developments based on the
number of new dwelling units per development. The current fee rate is $677.71 per single-
family residential dwelling unit. This development would consist of 67 net new dwelling
units and would be required to pay traffic impact fees in the amount of $45,406.57.
Proposed mitigation to the site access intersection and payment of the required traffic impact
fee is expected to mitigate the transportation impacts of this proposed project. No significant
adverse transportation impacts are expected.

WETLAND AND STREAM ANALYSIS REPORT
CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Location
This report describes the regulated wetlands and streams on or within 150- feet of the
Lakeland Hills project. The site is located to the southeast of Kersey Way SE and
includes 4 properties (parcels 3221059009, 3221059043, 3221059020, and 3221059059).

2.0 METHODOLOGY
B-12 Wetland Consulting, Inc. visited the site on May 12,2005, and on August 24,2005,
to inspect the site for wetlands and streams. A combination of field indicators, including
vegetation, soils, and hydrology was used to determine the presence of wetlands, The
methodology used to identify any jurisdictional wetlands on the site is described in the
Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (W ADOE, March
1997). This is the methodology currently recognized by the City of Auburn, and the
State of Washington for wetland determinations and delineations. The wetland areas
identified would also be considered wetlands using the methodology described in the
Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987), as
required by the US Army Corps of Engineers,
The Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual and the Corps of
Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual both require the use of the three-parameter
approach in identifying and delineating wetlands. A wetland should support a
predominance ofhydrophytic vegetation, have hydric soils and display wetland
hydrology. To be considered hydrophytic vegetation, over 50% ofthe dominant species
in an area must have an indicator status of facultative (F AC), facultative wetland
(FACW), or obligate wetland (OBL), according to the National List of Plant Species That
Occur in Wetlands: Northwest (Region 9) (Reed, 1988). A hydric soil is "a soil that is
saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop
anaerobic conditions in the upper part". Anaerobic conditions are indicated in the field
by soils with low chromas (2 or less), as determined by using the Munsell Soil Color
Charts; iron oxide mottles; hydrogen sulfide odor and other indicators, Generally,
wetland hydrology is defined by inundation or saturation to the surface for a consecutive

Page 3 of8
period of 12.5% or greater of the growing season. Areas that contain indicators of
wetland hydrology between 5%-12.5% of the growing season mayor may not be
wetlands depending upon other indicators. Field indicators include visual observation of
soil inundation, saturation, oxidized rhizospheres, water marks on trees or other fixed
objects, drift lines, etc. Under normal circumstances, indicators of all three parameters
will be present in wetland areas,
Streams were identified by the presence of a defined channel that contains flowing
surface water at some time of the year.
Streams were delineated by the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM). The definition of
the OHWM as defined by the Washington State Department of Ecology as a part of the
Shoreline Management Act is,
"the mark on all lakes, streams, and tidal water that will be found by examining
the bed and banks and ascertaining where the presence and action of waters are
so common and usual, and so long continued in all ordinary years, as to mark
upon the sod a character distinct from that of the abutting upland, in respect to
vegetation as that condition exists on June 1. 1971, as it may naturally change
thereafter, or as it may change thereafter in accordance with permits issued by a
local government or the department: PROVIDED, That in any area where the
ordinary high water mark cannot be found, the ordinary high water mark
adjoining salt water shall be the line of mean higher high tide and the ordinary
high water mark adjoiningfresh water shall be the line of mean. high water".
. The Wetlands were flagged with pink "Wetland Delineation" flagging and labeled
consecutively. The Stream was flagged with white and blue-dot flagging and labeled
consecutively. Data points were flagged with orange with black stripe flagging labeled
DP#_, Flags were subsequently surveyed by)" I - ) 1.:"

3.0 OBSERVATIONS
3.1 Existing Site Documentation
Prior to visiting the site, a review of several natural resource inventory maps was
conducted. Resources reviewed included the King County Soil Survey, King County
Sensitive Areas Folio: Streams, A Catalog of Washington Streams and Salmon
Utilization, and the National Wetland Inventory.
3.1.1 King County Soil Survey
According to the King County Soil Survey, the site contains Alderwood gravelly, sandy
loam (AgC), which typically occurs on slopes of 6-15 percent; Alderwood gravelly sandy
loam (AgD), which typically occurs on slopes of 15-30 percent; and lndianola loamy fine
sand (InC), which typically occurs on slopes of 4-15 percent. Alderwood gravelly, sandy
loam soils are moderately well drained soils that formed under conifers, in glacial
deposits. Indianola soils are made up of somewhat excessively drained soils that formed
under conifers in sandy, recessional, stratified glacial drift. According to the publication,
Re: Finch-Lakeland Hills
8-12 Job#A5-214
November 10, 2005
Page 4 of 8
"Hydric Soils of the United States" Alderwood and lndianola soils are not considered
hyric or wetland soils.
3.1.2 King County Sensitive Areas Folio: Wetlands
According to the King County Sensitive Areas Folio: Wetlands, there are no wetlands
located on or with 300' of the site.
3.1.2 King County Sensitive Areas Folio: Streams
According to the King County Sensitive Areas Folio: Streams, there are two unclassified
streams located on/near the western boundary of the site. There is also an unclassified
stream located greater than 300' to the east of the site.

3.2 Topography
The site slopes generally to the northwest with varying slope grades. A drainage area is
located along the western property boundary and contains a stream.
3.1 Uplands
The uplands on the site have been historically disturbed and are generally in non-pristine
condition. Dominant vegetation include Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), big leaf
maple (Acre macrophyllum), red alder (Alnus rubra), hazelnut (Corylus cornuta), vine
maple (Acer circinatum), oceans spray (Holodiscus discolor), evergreen blackberry
(Rubus armeniacus), trailing blackberry (Rubus ursinus), salal (Gaultheria shallon),
Soil pits excavated within the upland revealed an 8" gravelly, sandy loam A-horizon with
a color of IOYR 3/2; an underlying gravelly, sandy loam B-horizon revealed a color of
IOYR 3/3. Soils within the upland were dry during the time of our site visit.
3.2 Wetland A
Wetland A was flagged with pink "Wetland Delineation" flagging labeled A-I through
A-32. The western portion of the wetland was partially flagged and labeled AA-I
through AA-I1. Tp.e remainder of the west side of the wetland was not completed due to
the fact that no proposed activity will be located on the western side of Wetland A.
Wetland A is located along portions of Stream A near the western boundary of the site.
Re: Finch-Lakeland Hills
B-12 Job #A5-214
November 10, 2005
Page 7 of8
Wetland A is a slope wetland with scrub-shrub vegetation. Although there are some trees
located within the wetland there are not enough to comprise a forested wetland class.
Dominant vegetation includes, salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), lady fern (Athyrium
Filix-femina), skunk cabbage (Lysichitum americanum), and creeping buttercup
(Ranunculus repens).
Soil pits excavated within Wetland A revealed areas with a 16-inch layer of muck with a
color of lOYR 2/1, as well as areas with gravelly sandy loam B-horizon with a color of
10YR 3/2 with few, medium, distinct redoximorphic features. Soils within the wetland
were saturated within 12-inches of the soil surface during the time of our site visit.
According to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) wetland
classification method (Cowardin et a1. 1979), Wetland A has areas that would be
considered palustrine, scrub-shrub, broad-leaved deciduous, saturated (PSS 1B).
According to the City of Auburn Critical Areas Ordinance No. 5894, 916.10.080,
Wetland A would be considered a Category 4 wetland due to its score of 26 on the
adopted Department of Ecology Wetlands Rating Form for Western Washington (Dept.
of Ecology, 2004, Publication # 04-06-025). Category 4 Wetlands within the City of
Auburn typically have a 25-foot buffer measured from the wetland edge (916.1O.090(E)).
3.3 Wetland B
Wetland B was flagged with pink "Wetland Delineation" flagging labeled B-1 through B-
9. Wetland B is located in the southwest property comer to the east of Wetland A.
Wetland B is a slope wetland with scrub-shrub vegetation. Dominant vegetation includes
red alder saplings, salmonberry, skunk cabbage, and lady fern. Soil pits excavated within
the wetland revealed a 16-inch layer of muck with a color of lOYR 2/1. Soils within the
wetland were saturated within 12-inches ofthe soil surface during the time of our site
visit.
According the USFWS wetland classification method (Cowardin et a1. 1979), Wetland B
would be considered a palustrine, scrub-shfub, broad-leaved deciduous, saturated
(PSS1B).
According to the City of Auburn Critical Areas Ordinance No. 5894, 916.10.080;
Wetland A would be considered a Category 4 wetland due to its score of 26 on the
adopted Department of Ecology Wetlands Rating Form for Western Washington (Dept.
of Ecology, 2004, Publication # 04-06-025). Category 4 Wetlands within the City of
Auburn typically have a 25-foot buffer measured from the wetland edge (916.1O.090(E)).
3.4 Stream A Ntw"lS:Y(
The centerline of Stream A was located by the u.. L surveyors due to its
narrow stream width. During the time of our site visit Stream A did not have any flow.
Stream A progresses from a drainage swale within Wetland A to a defined channel that
Re: Finch-Lakeland Hills
8-12 Job#A5-214
November 10, 2005
Page 8 of8
drains Wetland A. Wetland A appears to be Stream A's predominant source of
hydrology.
Stream A is an intermittent stream approximately l' to 2 'wide with a depth of 6" to 10"
inches. One section of the stream near the center portion of the property has been
blocked to create a small ponded area. This blockage appears to be man made. Offsite to
the northwest Stream A flows through a culvert underneath an elevated gravel road. This
culvert appears to be a non-fish passable blockage as indicated by the Catalog of
Washington Streams and Salmonid Utilization.
According to the City of Auburn Critical Areas Ordinance 916.10.080 (D), Stream A
would be considered a 'Class 3 stream due. to the ordinary high water mark width near the
2' threshold, its intermittent flow, and lack offish use. Typically, Class 3 streams have a
25' buffer measured from its ordinary high water mark (OHWM). Due to Stream A's
narrow width it was not practical to flag the OHWM, therefore an offset of2' from the
centerline of the stream will be taken to compensate for the OHWM. The 25' stream
buffer will then be measured from the 2' stream offset. Due to the location of Wetland A
being outside ofthe OWHM ofthe stream, Stream A's buffer would not extend beyond
Wetland A's buffer no matter what the width of Stream A.
4.0 Proposed Project and Concept Mitigation
The proposed project is the development of72 single family residences. Part of the
project includes.a through access road for a subdivision to the south ofthe property. Due
to the road alignment for this through-road the project proposes fill of Wetland Bas
pursuant to 916.10.100. As mitigation for this impact, enhancement of a portion of
Wetland A is proposed. To compensate for impacts to 3,154sf of wetland, 8,000sf of
Wetland A will be enhanced with native tree and shrub p1antings, this results in a 2.5:1
(enhanced to filled) mitigation ratio as pursuant to 916.10.120, and 916.10.110.
Following approval ofthis conceptual mitigation plan, a detailed Final Mitigation Plan
will be submitted to the City for review and approval.

August 2004
Classification of Vegetated Wetlands for Western Washington
Wetland Name:
Date:
1. Are the water l.evels in the wetland usually controlled by tides (i.e. except during floods)?
~ go to 2 YES - the wetland class is Tidal Fringe
If yes, is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt (parts per
thousand)? YES - Freshwater Tidal Fringe NO - Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine)
If your wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the forms for Riverine
wetlands. Ifit is Saltwater Tidal Fringe it is rated as an Estuarine wetland. Wetlands that
were called estuarine in the first and second editions of the rating system are called Salt
Water Tidal Fringe in the Hydrogeomorphic Classification. Estuarine wetlands were
categorized separately in the earlier editions, and this separation is being kept in this
revision. To maintain consistency between editions, the tenn "Estuarine" wetland is kept.
Please note, however, that the characteristics that define Category I and II estuarine
wetlands have changed (see p. ).
2. Is the topography within the wetland flat and precipitation is only source (>90%) of water to it.
~ go to 3 YES - The wetland class is Flats
If your wetland can be classified as a "Flats" wetland, use the fonn for Depressional
wetlands.
3. Does the wetland meet both of the following criteria?
_The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores ofa body of open water (without any
vegetation on the surface) where atleast 20 acres (8 ha) are permanently inundated
(ponded or flooded);
_At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 ft (2 m)?
~ go to 4 YES - The wetland class is Lake-fringe (Lacustrine Fringe)
4. Does the wetland meet all of the following criteria?
-2C...The wetland is on a slope (slope can be very gradua/),
-k::The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional) and usually

banks.
K The water leaves the wetland without being impounded?
NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these type of wetlands except occasionally in
very small and shallow depressions or behind hummocks( depressions are usually
<3ft diameter and less than J foot deep).
NO - go to 5 @::t The wetland class is Slope
5. Is the wetland in a valley, or stream channel, where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from
that stream or river? The flooding should occur at least once every two years, on the average, to
answer "yes." The wetland can contain depressions that are filled with water when the river is
not flooding.
NO - go to 6 YES - The wetland class is Riverine

some time of the year. This means that any outlet, ifpresent, is higher than the interior of the
wetland.
NO - go to? YES - The wetland class is Depressional
7. Is the wetland located in a very flat area with no obvious depression and no stream or river
running through it and providing water. The wetland seems to be maintained by high
groundwater in the area. The wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural outlet.
NO - go to 8 YES - The wetland class is Depressional
8. Your wetland seems to be difficult to classify. For example, seeps at the base of a slope may
grade into a riverine floodplain, or a small stream within a depressional wetland has a zone of .
flooding along its sides. Sometimes we find characteristics of several different hydrogeomorphic
classes within one wetland boundary. Use the following table to identify the appropriate class to
use for the rating system if you have several HGM classes presentwithin your. wetland. NOTE:
Use this table only if the class that is recommended in the second column represents 10% or more
of the total area of the wetland being rated. If the area of the second class is less than 10% classify
the wetland using the first class. .

_Aspen Stands: Pure or mixed stands of aspen greater than 0.8 ha (2 acres).
_Cliffs: Greater than 7.6 m (25 ft) high and occurring below 5000 ft. '
_Old-growth forests: (Old-growth west of Cascade crest) Stands of at least 2 tree
species, forming a multi-layered canopy with occasional small openings; with at
least 20 trees/ha (8 trees/acre) > 81 cm (32 in) dbh or> 200 years of age.
_Mature forests: Stands with average diameters exceeding 53 cm (21 in) dbh; crown
cover may be less that 100%; crown cover may be less that 100%; decay,
decadence, numbers of snags, and quantity of large downed material is generally
less than that found in old-growth; 80 - 200 years old west of the Cascade crest.
_Prairies: Relatively undisturbed areas (as indicated by dominance of native plants)
where grasses and/or forbs form the natural climax plant community.
_Talus: Homogenous areas of rock rubble ranging in average size 0.15 - 2.0 m (0.5 -
6.5 ft), composed of basalt, andesite, andlor sedimentary rock, including riprap
slides and mine tailings. May be associated with cliffs.
_Caves: A naturally occurring cavity, recess, void, or system of interconnected
passages
_Oregon white Oak: Woodlands Stands of pure oak or oak/conifer associations
where canopy coverage of the oak component of the stand is 25%.
_Urban Natural Open. Space: A priority species resides within or is adjacent to the
open space and uses it for breeding and/or regular feeding; andlor the open space
functions as a corridor connecting other priority habitats, especially those that
would otherwise be isolated; and/or the open space is an isolated remnant of natural
habitat larger than 4 ha (10 acres) and is surrounded by urban development.
_EstuarylEstuary-like: Deepwater tidal habitats and adjacent tidal wetlands, usually
semi-enclosed by land but with open, partly obstructed or sporadic access to the
open ocean, and in which ocean water is at least occasionally ~iluted by freshwater
runoff from the land. The salinity may be periodically increased above that of the
open ocean by evaporation. Along some low-energy coastlines there is appreciable
dilution of sea water. Estuarine habitat extends upstream and landward to where
ocean-derived salts measure less than 0.5% during the period of average annual low
flow. Includes both estuaries and lagoons.
_Marine/Estuarine Shorelines: Shorelines include the intertidal and subtidal zones
of beaches, and may also include the backshore and adjacent components of the
terrestrial landscape (e.g., cliffs, snags, mature trees, dunes, meadows) that are
important to shoreline associated fish and wildlife and that contribute to shoreline
function (e.g., sand/rock/log recruitment, nutrient contribution, erosion control).

Does the wetland (or part of the wetland) meet both the criteria for soils ahd
vegetation in bogs? Use the key below to identify if the wetland is a bog. If you
answer yes you will still need to rate the wetland based on its functions.
1. Does the wetland have organic soil horizons (i.e. layers of organic soil),
either peats or mucks, that compose 16 inches or more of the first 32 inches
of the soil profile? (See Appendix B for a field key to identify organic
soils)? Yes - go to Q. 3 No - go to Q. 2
2. Does the wetland have organic soils, either peats or mucks that are less than
16 inches deep over bedrock, or an impermeable hardpan such as clay or
volcanic ash, or that are floating on a lake or pond?
Yes - go to Q. 3 No - Is not a bog for purpose of rating
. 3. Does the wetland have more than 70% cover of mosses at ground level,
AND other plants, if present, consist of the "bog" species listed in Table 3
as a significant component of the vegetation (more than 30% of the total
shrub and herbaceous cover consists of species in Table 3)?
Yes - Is a bog for purpose of rating No - go to Q. 4
NOTE: If you are uncertain about the extent of mosses in the understory
you may substitute that criterion by measuring the pH of the water that
seeps into a hole dug at least 16" deep. If the pH is less than 5,0 and the
"bog" plant species in Table 3 are present, the wetland is a bog.
3. Is the wetland forested (> 30% cover) with sitka spruce, subalpine fir,
western red cedar, western hemlock, lodgepole pine, quaking aspen,
Englemann's spruce, or western white pine, WITH any of the species (or
combination of species) on the bog species plant list in Table 3 as a

trees/acre (20 trees/hectare) that are at least 200 years of age OR have a
diameter at breast height (dbh) of32 inches (81 cm) or more.
NOTE: The criterion for dbh is based on measurements for upland forests.
Two-hundred year old trees in wetlands will often have a smaller dbh
because their growth rates are often slower. The DPW criterion is and "OR"
so old-growth forests do not necessarily have to have trees of this diameter,

Re: Archaeology - Survey Requested
Dear Mr. Osaki:
We have reviewed the materials forwarded to our office for the proposed project referenced above.
There is a recorded archaeological site (45KI549) either on or adjacent to the project area. Because
the scale of the proposed ground disturbing actions would destroy any archaeological resources that
may be present, a professional archaeological survey of the project area should be conducted prior to
ground disturbing activities. Identification during construction is not a recommended detection method
because inadvertent discoveries often result in costly construction delays and damage to the
resource. We also recommend consultation with the concerned tribes cultural committees and staff
regarding cultural resource issues.
If any federal funds or permits are involved Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, as
amended, and its implementing regulations, 36CFR800, must be followed. This is a separate process
from SEPA and requires formal govemment-to-government consultation with the affected Tribes and
this agency. We would appreciate receiving any correspondence or comments from concerned tribes
or other parties concerning cultural resource issues that you receive. .
These comments are based on the' information available at the time of this review and on behalf of the
State Historic Preservation Officer. Should additional information become available, our assessment
may be revised. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project and we look forward to
receiving the survey report. Please note that OAHP has recently revised our cultural resource
reporting guidelines. The guidelines are available on our website at .

Re: Lakeland Hill Estates, SEP05-0039.
Ms. Kramer:
Thank you for responding to the preliminary MONS issued for this proposed subdivision
located along Kersey Way SE, south of 4~t:J St. SE. .The prOject site is located directly
north of the Kersey 11/ development, for which an Environmental Impact Statement was
prepared in July 2004, with the Final EIS being issued in February 2005. As part of the
EIS process, an "Archaeological Resources and Traditional Cultural Places
Assessment" was prepared by Larson Anthropological Archaeological Services Limited,
dated December 8, 2004. The report identified the Williams Farmstead Site (45KI549), a
historiG period site it- concluded was "probably not significant." The report did not identify
any traditional cultural places through tribal consultation.
LAAS also concluded that most of the Kersey 11/ project area had "low probability for
significant hunter-fisher-gatherer, ethnographic period, and historic Indian archaeological
resources because of the project's steep gradient and a lack of a constant water
source... . · The Lakeland Hill Estates site, located to the north, has a similar steep
gradient and also has no constant water,source.
Given the results of the prior study, we do not find it appropriate to require this applicant
to prepare a similar report. The FEIS for the Kersey 11/ project concluded that site
disturbing activities should be monitored to determine the presence (if any) of
archaeological resources. It is our intention to a similar mitigation measur~ as part of the
Final MONS to be issued for this project. A copy of the MONS will be sent to your offices
when issued.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Steve,
The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Fisheries Division has reviewed the threshold determination (proposed
MONS) and environmental checklist for the above referenced project. We did not receive the preliminary
plat plans nor the Wetland and Stream Analysis Report and Concept mitigation dated November 10,2005;
therefore, we were unable to review these documents. Based on the documents that we have reviewed,
we have some questions aboutthis proposal as noted below:
1. How many houses will be built by the unnamed stream on site? How close will these houses be
built?
2. How close will the detention water quality pond be built to the unnamed stream?
3. What is the level of detention that will be used for the stormwater pond?
4. What method of water quality treatment will be used for stormwater?
5. What impacts will occur to the stream and its buffer and how will these impacts be mitigated?
We appreciate your prompt response to these questions to help us determine potential impacts associated
with this project and the proposed mitigation.
Thank you,

RE: Lakeland Hill Estates Preliminary Plat, File PL T05 -0004
To Whom It May Concern:
In reference to the plat application for Lakeland Hill Estates Preliminary Plat (File PLT05-0004),
while we have not yet reviewed the application material or staff report we do have two initial
comments based on our experience in the area:
1) We are concerned about stormwater. The site overlooks our property, which is easterly across
Kersey Way. Water will run off the proposed project site and into Bowman Creek which runs
through our property. Weare concerned about the volume and concentration ofthe water that
will flow to us, as well as water quality. The project sho uld be held to the strictest of standards.
Furthermore, no work of any kind should be required on our property of the developer, the City
or of us, as a result ofthis project, now or anytime in the future.
2) We must bring to your attention the existing operation on our neighboring gravel mine
property. For reasons explained below, we hereby request that notice provisions be inserted into
the plat, building permits and individual deeds as conditions of approval for the plat.
We own the gravel mining property directly across Kersey Way east and north of Lakeland Hill
Estates. It is a major regional facility, and is one of the primary gra vel sources serving the Puget
Sound area. In addition, the site also contains major asphalt and concrete manufactu ring
facilities. On occasion these facilities operate at night, typically for public projects. The mine is
664 acres in size, has been in operation in excess of 35 years, and will probably operate for
another 25 years before the supply is exhausted. Up until now the mine has been fairly isolat ed,
but the construction of these homes will encroach upon the mine and give rise to potential
problems with uninformed homeowner complaints about such things as air, noise, light and
traffic.
Mineral resource lands are recognized in the State Growth Management Act as an important
element to be protected. The City of Auburn has designated our property as a gravel mine site.
In RCW 36.70A.060, it states "[s]uch regulations shall assure that the use oflands adjacent to
agricultural, forest, and mineral resource lands shall not interfere with the continued use, in the
accustomed manner and in accordance with best management practices, of these designated lands
for the production of food, agricultural products, or timber, or for the extraction of minerals." We
are concerned about interference from the new Lakeland Hill Estates neighbors, and so we

P 206.575.2000 . F 206.575.1837 . www.segaleproperties.com
Lakeland Hill Estates, 8/30106, page 2
believe that home buyers in Lakeland Hill Estates need to know of the mine's presence and the
potential inconveniences to them, prior to purchase of their homes.
When plats are located within 500' of mineral resource lands, they are required by RCW
36.70A.060 to contain a notice that "the subject property is within or near design ated . .. mineral
resource lands on which a variety of commercial activities may occur that are not compatible with
residential development for certain periods of limited duration. The notice for mineral resource
lands shall also inform that an application might be made for mining-related activities, including
mining, extraction, washing, crushing, stockpiling, blasting, transporting and recycling of
minerals." Since our mine is already in operation where these operations do occur (not just
"may" occur), we would propose that slightly different language be used and request that you
require the insertion of this notice into the plat of Lake land Hill Estates:
NOTICE: This property is near designated mineral resource lands on which a variety of
commercial acti vities occur that may not be compatible with residential development,
including, but not limited to, mining, extraction, washing, crushing, stockpiling,
transporting, concrete and asphalt production, recycling of materials, and their related and
supporting activities.
The same RCW also requires the notice to be placed on building permits within 500' of mineral
resource lands. While this will pick up some of the new homes at Lakeland Hill Estates'
northeast end, other new homes are beyond that distance but elevated above the gravel mine as
outlined below. We ask that the notice be required on all building permits within Lakeland Hill
Estates, just as the notice is required on the entire plat as noted above.
Lakeland Hill Estates' physical characteristics argue for this expanded condition, and more. The
RCW's anticipate a flat site condition when requiring a notice within 500'. That is not the case
with Lakeland Hill Estates. The Lakeland Hill Estates project overlooks our gravel mine
property, and is sloped above it rising upward from Kersey Way. All of the potential problems
that might affect a neighboring property at a flat elevation could be at issue across the entire
Lakeland Hill Estates property due to its elevated condition.
Even with these plat and building permit conditions, it is unlikely that the new home buyers will
see any of these notices prior to purchasing their homes. They will not see the building permit,
and the plat map will probably be reduced to 8 -1/2 X 11 in their title report.
The seller disclosure "Form 17" also cannot be relied upon for notice to home buyers. Required
by the State (it is outlined in RCW 64.06.020), it requires a response to question IF: "Is there any
study, survey project, or notice that would adversely affect the property?" Will the seller check
off that box, and will the entire language of the mineral lands notice be attached? Worse yet, it is
common for buyers of new homes to waive their right to see Form 17, without knowing what they
are waIvmg.
We respectfully request that, as a condition of approval of the plat, the plat require the deed for
each residential lot to contain the same mineral lands notice. We believe that it is in the interest
of the public good to increase the exposure of this notice to potential home buyers, as well as
helpful to the sellers and the City to get this information out up front. This mine is big enough,
Lakeland Hill Estates is close enough, and the situation is serious enough to warrant this
additional condition.

Dear Steve:
We have revised the engineering plans for the project referenced above in accordance with your
comment letter dated September 22, 2006. Enclosed are the following documents for your
review and approval:
· 10 sets of revised civil plans dated September 28, 2006
· 10 copies ofTSI addendum memo dated June 28, 2006
· 10 copies of the Concept Mitigation plan dated October 2, 2006
The following outline provides each of your comments in italics exactly as written, along with a .
narrative response describing how each comment was addressed:
Environmental
You are aware of the stream categorization issue raised by the,Muckleshoot Tribe. At this time
your consultant has yet to contact Aaron Nix, the City's Environmental Protection Manager, to
discuss this more fully. Please have him do so at his earliest convenience.
Response: Our Wetland / Stream consultant has discussed the situation with Aaron Nix;
they met on-site Friday, September 29, 2006 to walk the stream c()rridor. A concept
mitigation plan has been prepared by Sewall Wetland Consulting, Inc. based on this site
meeting and is included with this resubmittaL This mitigation will affect lots 53-57 which
have been reduced in size to create a zone for this work between the wetland buffer and the
developed lots. These revisions are reflected on the revised plans.
Sanitary Sewer
The 2001 Sewer Comp Plan identifies this basin as being served by gravity sewer on Kersey Way
the White River to the Metro pump station. Your plans do not reflect this and rely upon a pump
station that has yet to be determined a feasible option to serve your development. (The City is

this area with an interim pump station, which may impact the force main alignment shown on
your plans or service to your development. Your development will be financially responsible for
participating in the construction of a gravity line if an interim pump station is constructed).
Your development should be discharging into a gravity line in Kersey Way through the
development entrance Road E, regardless if it is to be served by a pump station.
Response: It is understood that the pump station is only an interim solution and still needs
to be approved in concept by the city. A connection to Kersey Way via Road E would be .
very impractical due to the elevation difference between the intersection of Road ElF and
the cul':"de sac at the end of Road A (24-feet vertical difference). We are showing a
connection to Kersey Way through 49th and a gravity extension along Kersey Way. This
shows the applicant's intent to provide both a gravity line extension in Kersey Way and an
eventual site discharge to that gravity line. SPecific details beyond that can be worked out
during the construction document phase of the project. A letter was submitted to the city
by the applicant on Monday, October 2, 2006 ahead of this resubmittal that addresses this
issue.
Traffic
1. Horizontal stationing is missing on the plans, so staff is unable to determine how vertical
. data relates to the horizontal data.
Response: Stationing now shown on all plan sheets.
2. Temporary cul-de-sacs are requiredfor Roads B & c: but are not shown on the plans.
Response: Temporary cul-de-sacs added at the ends of Roads Band C.
3. On page 7 of the plan set, the standard detail shown for a local road is the old city
standard Except for the boulevard approach, all roads within the plat shall be designed
to the current local residential road standard The detail cross section shown should not
include pavement or sub roadbed information.
Response: The detail has been revised. We note that this update potentially changes
sidewalk locations on our plat. We had worked out with staff that the sidewalks would be
shown with a planter strip on one side and sidewalks flush with ba~k of sidewalk on the
other. The new detail shows planter strips on both sides. Due to timing constraints, we were
not able to confirm with the city as to whether we needed to comply with a planter strip on
both sides or not. In order to resubmit in a timely fashion, we have adjusted all sidewalks
within the plat to match the new detail and provide planter strips on both sides. If it is
determined that this was not necessary, we would like to discuss it at the preliminary plat
hearing and provide a condition with the option of returning the sidewalks to the previous
design.

Response: This issue has been discussed in several meetings with the city. Transportation
Solutions, Inc. prepared a June 28, 2006 addendum memo that evaluates stopping sight
distance for northbound traffic towards the site entrance onto Kersey Way and shows that
the intersection sight distance meets all safety requirements. Beyond that, we have also
proposed a northbound acceleration lane of approximately 200 feet in length which will
provide additional safety for left turning traffic coming out of the site. Additional copies of
the June 28th TSI memo are included with this resubmittal.

Dear Mr. Finch,
Per your request we have addressed the additional concerns proposed by Karen Walters
(Watersheds and Land Use Team Leader - Mucldeshoot Indian Tribe Fisheries Division)
and the City of Auburn in reference to the stream classification of the on-site stream.
After conversations with the City of Au.burn, including people from the Planning
Department and Environmental review department it is highly unlikely that the culvert
under Kersey Way will ever become fish passable. Additionally, SWC also closely
inspected the area off-site to the northwest of the property for any natui:al fish barriers.
This area is thought to contain a natural ca.scade fish blockage that is shown on the
Catalog of Washington Streams and Salmonid Utilization. Upon close inspection of the
presumed natural blockage, it appears, to have Dl8Il made influences asa poorly
constrocted barrel and tile system was observed. Upstream of this feature the stream
appears to flow through a portion of an, off-site wetland, through a couple of small
meandering braided channels and sheet flow, (still off-site to the northwest) which may
or may not be passable by fish. Due to the time constraints for this project, the project has
been modified to comply with the 7$-foot buffer associated with a Class 2 stream.
However, in the event of a determination of non-fish habitat provided by the Washington
Department ofFish and Wildlife the project/project client would like the ability to
modify the 75-foot buffer to the Class 3 25.foot buffer for those portions ofthestreafi1
above any SUch deemed point.
As it is. the proposed project has beenniodifted to reduce impacts to theassooiated 75-
foot buffer and has prepared a conceptual mitigation plan to off-set the remaining
impacts. For impact to 2, 745square feet (sf) ofb\1ifer adjacent to residential development

the stonn pond at a .5: 1 (enhanced to impacted) ratio to off-set the temporary lost

Subject: Lakeland Hill Estates Traffic Impact Analysis Supplement
Dear Mr. Welsh:
This letter report serves as a supplement to the Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA)
prepared for the Lakeland Hills residential development by Transportation Solutions,
Inc., dated November 2005. This addendum further examines the available
stopping sight distance at the proposed main site access along Kersey Way SE.
PROPOSED CONDmON
Lakeland Hill Estates, LLC, proposes to develop a 71-unit single-family residential
development. The site would be served by an internal public road network with
access directly onto Kersey Way SE and indirect access onto Evergreen Way SE
through adjacent development connectivity. The direct access location would
intersect the west edge of Kersey Way SE, south of 49th Street SE.
SIGHT DISTANCE EVALUATION
Entering and stopping sight disiances were estimated on Kersey Way SE at the
proposed location of the primary access, reflecting preliminary construction drawings
prepared by Pacific Engineering. A site visit confirmed that no other visual
obstructions omitted from the drawings were present. These estimates were
measured consistent with the City of Auburn Design and Construction Standards.
The estimated available values, along with the recommended minimum standards
were presented in Table 10 of the transportation impact analysis.
The posted speed limit along Kersey Way SE at this location is 35 mph. Common
engineering practice is to use a design speed 5 to 10 mph higher than the posted
speed limit. However, because multiple speed studies indicate that this corridor is
frequently traveled at speeds significantly higher than the posted speed limit, the
TSI
Transp8rtatio~:Solutjons. Inc.
Mr. Joe Welsh
June 28, 2006
Page 2 of 3
available sight distances at this location have been compared' against the minimum
standards for both a design speed of 50 mph and a design speed of 45 mph.
As shown in Table 10 of this project's earlier submitted traffic impact analysis, all
available sight distances at this location are expected to exceed the minimum
standards for a design speed of 45 mph. All available sight distances were also
reported to exceed the minimum standards for a design speed of 50 mph, except for
the stopping sight distance for northbound traffic on Kersey Way SE approaching the
site access.
The estimated available northbound stopping sight distance was originally estimated,
assuming a driver's eye height of 3.5 feet and an object height of 0.5 feet, to be 400
feet. Using a 50 mph design speed and accounting for the significant downgrade
northbound approaching the site access, the minimum standard stopping sight
distance is 470 feet.
This sight distance has been reevaluated using the latest generally accepted
methodology in the traffic engineering profession for measuring stopping sight
distance and as suggested by City staff, which assumes an object height of 2.0 feet
rather than the previously assumed 0.5 foot object height. This reevaluation shows
that the expected available northbound stopping sight distance will be approximately
510 feet. The available stopping sight distance is now exPected to exceed the very
conservative minimum standard of 470 feet set for a 50 mph design speed, while
also accounting for the downgrade approaching the site access.
This would allow northbound traffic to safely and comfortably decelerate or stop if
necessary for a pedestrian or stalled vehicle in the roadway near the proposed site
access.
SUMMARY
All available sight distances measured for this access location are now expected to
exceed the minimum standards set for a 50 mph design speed.
We believe the 50 mph design speed standard used for this analysis to be
conservative considering the posted speed limit is 35 mph. Furthermore, as this area
is further developed and with the planned instaIlation of signalization control along
Kersey Way SE to the north and south of this proposed access location, driver
behavior may change and travel speeds through this corridor may decrease.
I trust this additional analysis has provided you with what you need to move fOlward
in your review regarding the transportation aspect of this development.

RE: Lakeland Hills Estates, (File Nos. SEP05-0039 / PL T05-0004)
Project No.: 05056
Dear Steve:
As a function of designing the preliminary plat for Lakeland Hills Estates, it will be
necessary to request a modification to city of Auburn Plat standards. The specific
modification is for reduced intersection spacing between Kersey Way and Road A.
Per Auburn City Code 17.18.030, a number of criteria must be met in order to grant a plat
modification. The following outline provides each of your comments in italics exactly as
written, along with a narrative response describing how each comment was addressed:
Such modification is necessary because of special circumstances related to the size,
shape, topography location or surroundings of the subject property, to provide the owner
with development rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity and in
the zoning district in which the subject property is located;
Response: The initial proposal for this project was to provide a connection through
the project between Kersey Way and Kersey Ill's road infrastructure. Following a
final determination by the city in July concerning road grades, we have jointly
worked out a redesign of the plat to remove this connection and drop the elevation
of the lower portion of the project, essentially creating an upper and lower plat area
with no through connection. As a function of this redesign, it will be necessary to
employ a boulevard connection to Kersey Way in order to provide the dual access
required for the now isolated 55 lots in the lower plat area left without a connection
to Kersey 3's road infrastructure.
Since lots are not allowed to access directly onto a boulevard, it is necessary to
further revise the road layout so that all lots in the vicinity of the boulevard can
access Road A directly. This pushes Road A closer to Kersey Way and reduces the
intersection spacing between Road A and Kersey Way to 185 feet (centerline to
centerline).

PED #05056
That, because of such special circumstances, the development of the property in strict
conformity with the provisions of this title will not allow a reasonable and harmonious
use of the property;
Response: The general property shape and local topography does not allow for a
second connection to Kersey Way which forces the use of the boulevard access to the
lower 55 lots. Lot access within the plat in the vicinity of the boulevard must be to
Road A which further restricts how the lots may be laid out and shortens the
distance between Kersey Way and Road A. Denial of the shortened spacing would
require that access tracts be used to access several lots between Road A and Kersey
Way and further redesign of lots which would cost several lots.
C. That the modification, if granted, will not alter the character of the neighborhood, or
be detrimental to surrounding properties in which the property is located;
Response: This modification will greatly enhance the site entrance from the simple
access road previously proposed. The center island will allow for planting of trees
that will divide roadway surface into two separate roads. Even with the reduced
intersection spacing, the boulevard dimensions allow for approximately 130 feet of
stacking for left-turn I right-turn exiting movements onto Kersey Way without
interfering with the function of the intersection with Road A.
D. Such modification will not be materially detrimental to the implementation of the
policies and objectives of the comprehensive land use, circulation and utility plans of the
city;
Response: A plat modification to allow the reduced intersection distance for this
boulevard access will not be detrimental to the implementation of the policies and
objectives of the comprehensive land use, circulation and utility plans of the city. It
will be designed as a public street in all other aspects which will provide for utility
corridors and circulation for the proposed plat.
E. Literal interpretation of the provisions of this title would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district;
Response: Denial of this plat modification request could result in the loss of several
lots that the applicant is allowed under the current zoning code.
F. The approval of the modification will be consistent with the purpose of this title;
Response: The plat modification being requested (reduced intersection spacing) is
only necessary due to the need for the plat to manage larger constraints dealing with
road grades and access requirements.
G. The modification cannot lessen the requirements of the zoning ordinance. Any such
modification must be processed as a variance pursuant to ACC 18.70.010.

Project No.: 05056
Dear Steve:
As a function of designing the preliminary plat for Lakeland Hills Estates, it will be
necessary to request a modification to city of Auburn Plat standards. The specific
modification is to request that 6 lots be designed with widths less than 75 feet.
Per Auburn City Code 17.18.030, a nwuber of criteria must be met in order to grant a plat
modification. The following outline provides each of your comments in italics exactly as
written, along with a narrative response describing how each comment was addressed:
Such modification is necessary because of special circumstances related to the size,
shape, topography location or surroundings of the subject property, to provide the owner
with development rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity and in
the zoning district in which the subject property is located;
Response: This project proposes to meet two pre-determined road connection
points proposed by Kersey III, one connection to the Gillette parcel at a pre-
determined easement connection point, and a connection to Kersey Way. These
numerous connections and the narrow nature of the property require that the road
system be designed in a reverse "J" type configuration. There is also a wetland and
stream buffer on the property that further constrains lot layout. As a function of
these constraints, we are proposing to reduce the widths on siX lots (48, 54, 55, 56, 60
and 61) below the required 75-foot lot width. Lots 48, 54, 55 and 56 are proposed to
be 60 feet wide. Lots 60 and 61 are proposed to be 65 feet wide. All these lots are in
areas where there is extra lot length available due to road-to-r~ad or road-to-
wetland-buffer distances. All the proposed narrow lots are between 9,395 and 13,101
SF in size which are well above the minimum 8,000 SF required.
That, because of such special circumstances, the development of the property in strict
conformity with the provisions of this title will not allow a reasonable and harmonious
use of the property;

Response: With the constraints mentioned above, the only option available to using
narrow lots at these specific locations is to make all the proposed lots 75-feet wide.
This would result in the loss of at least three lots from the total lot count and would
create even larger lots (would add up to 2,000 SF to lot areas mentioned above) with
the 75 foot width as the site constraints would force lis to maintain lot length already
shown for these narrow lots. The loss of three lots is unreasonable given that the
applicant is allowed the lots by zoning, and the city has a means to allow the narrow
lots by use of the specific narrow lot allowance for plats above 50-lots in size.
C. That the modification, if granted, will not alter the character of the neighborhood, or
be detrimental to surrounding properties in which the property is located;
Response: This development will be directly connected to Kersey III which is being
designed through a PUD process and will result in many smaller lots than what is
proposed for this development. Our proposed narrow lots will actually be some of
our larger lots (in square footage) and will not be detrimental in any way to the
surrounding plats planned for this area.
D. Such modification will not be materially detrimental to the implementation of the
policies and objectives of the comprehensive land use, circulation and utility plans of the
city;
Response: A plat modification to allow these six lots to be designed with narrow
widths will not be detrimental to the implementation of the policies and objectives of
the comprehensive land use, circulation and utility plans of the city. All these lots
front onto proposed public streets and will have direct access to utilities the same as
the 75-foot wide lots.
E. Literal interpretation of the provisions of this title would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district;
Response: Denial of this plat modification request will result in the loss of at least
three lots that the applicant is allowed under the current zoning code. Neighboring
Kersey III will have many lots that are smaller than anything proposed in this
development.
F. The approval of the modification will be consistent with the purpose of this title;
Response: The goal should be to provide a mix of lots that add some variety to a
proposed neighborhood. The allowance of using 60-foot wide lots in certain
instances helps to generate this variety. These lots are much longer than the typical
75-foot lots located throughout the plat. They are bigger in area, and in five out of
the six cases, will have backdrops onto the undisturbed wetland tract. They may
even have a unique house design due to the narrower lot configuration.

Dear Steve:
As a function of designing the preliminary plat for Lakeland Hills Estates, it will be
necessary to request a modification to city of Auburn Plat standards. The specific
modification is to request that 2 horizontal curves for the interior plat roads be designed
at less than the 375-foot minimum radius. One will be a 100-foot radius; the other will be
ISO-foot radius.
Per Auburn City Code 17.18.030, a number of criteria must be met in order to grant a plat
modification. The following outline provides each of your comments in italics exactly as
written, along with a narrative response describing how each comment was addressed:
Such modification is necessary because of special circumstances related to the size,
shape, topography location or surroundings of the subject property, to provide the owner
with development rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity and in
the zoning district in which the subject property is located;
Response: This modification is necessary due to the narrow width of the subject
property being platted. We do not have enough property width to make the 375-foot
radius work and meet all required road connection points without significant loss of
lots. Kersey III will have numerous horizontal curvatures below this minimum as do
many roads in Lakeland Hills above this development.
That, because of such special circumstances, the development of the property in strict

wide enough piece of property to make this configuration work with 375-foot radii
without significant loss of lots.
C. That the modification, if granted, will not alter the character of the neighborhood, or
be detrimental to surrounding properties in which the property is located;
Response: We have modified the layout of the plat so that there are now only 2
horizontal curves. These two curves at loo-foot and ISO-foot radii are short in
curvature (86 feet and 106 feet respectively) and will not be detrimental to the
surrounding properties.
D. Such modification will not be materially detrimental to the implementation of the
policies and objectives of the comprehensive land use, circulation and utility plans of the
city;
Response: A plat modification to allow these two curves to be below the 375-foot
minimum radius will not be detrimental to the implementation of the policies and
objectives of the comprehensive land use, circulation and utility plans of the city.
We are currently proposing that a four-way intersection near these two curves be
controlled with two-way stop signs. This could be modified further to a four-way
stop to slow traffic at the curves even further. The radii will not have any significant
impact to proposed utilities through the plat.
E. Literal interpr~tation of the provisions of this title would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district;
Response: The physical boundaries of this property are the only constraints
necessitating that we request this modification. If the property were wider we could
likely meet the 375-foot minimum radius requirement. As noted earlier, Kersey III
will be constructing roads that have several instances of horizontal curves below the
375-foot minimum.
/
F. The approval of the modification will be consistent with the purpose of this title;
Response: We believe that this modification will be consistent with the purpose of
this title. Many properties throughout Auburn do not have the physical size to
develop to the allowed zoning potential and meet the 375-foot minimum road radius
requirement. Many of these have been granted permission to put in horizontal
curves of this geometry with safe and efficient results.
G. The' modification cannot lessen the requirements of the zoning ordinance. Any such
modification must be processed as a variance pursuant to ACe 18.70.010.
Response: We are not aware of any underlying zoning ordinance that would make
this a false statement.

Dear Steve:
As a function of designing the preliminary plat for Lakeland Hills Estates, it will be
necessary to request a modification to city of Auburn Plat standards. The specific
modification is to request that the road system be designed using maximum 7.5% grades.
Per Auburn City eode 17.18.030, a number of criteria must be met in order to grant a plat

the existing terrain, it is not possible to connect Kersey Way to Evergreen Way
through the plat without using 12% road grades. City Staff have indicated that they
cannot support this accommodation. Without this thru-connection, it is necessary to
cut the plat into two sections, separated by a vertical 'cut of up to 30 feet that will be
inaccessible to car or foot traffic. The lower section of the plat will be accessed via a
boulevard entrance from Kersey Way and the upper section will be accessed via two
residential road stubs off of Evergreen Way through a portion of the Kersey nl
development. We request this plat modification of 7.5% grades throughout the
project in order to minimize the height of this cut and other cuts that will be
required throughout the project as a function of using these lower design grades.
That, because of such special circumstances, the development of the property in strict
conformity with the provisions of this title will not allow a reasonable and harmonious
use of the property;

Response: With the existing grade of the site at 12% to 14%, it is unreasonable to
impose a 6% maximum grade for interior roads. Even with the requested 7.5%
road grades, extreme hardships will be placed upon the developer by way of cuts
and retaining walls that will now be required to separate the two sections of the
development.
C. That the modification, if granted, will not alter the character of the neighborhood, or
be detrimental to surrounding properties in which the property is located;
Response: This development is one of several proposed plats currently in process
with the city of Auburn along the south side of Kersey Way. The area is currently
rural and largely undeveloped with the exception of a handful of single-family
homes on large (5 acre+) lots. These new developments by their very nature will
alter the character of the area regardless of whether they employ 6%, 7.5% or 12%
road grades.
The upper portion of this development will be directly connected to the Kersey III
road network. That plat will be employing 12% grades on their roads in various
locations as well where. existing grades dictate a steeper road. In granting Lakeland
Hills Estates the requested 7.5% modification, the development will be nearer to
meeting the city standards while at the same time limiting visible cuts and retaining
walls required to meet the 7.5% grades to a minimum.
D. Such modification will not be materially detrimental to the implementation of the
policies and objectives of the comprehensive land use, circulation and utility plans of the
city;
Response: A plat modification to allow interior plat roads to be designed at 7.5%
will not be detrimental to the implementation of the policies and objectives of the
comprehensive land use, circulation and utility plans of the city. Many previous
developments (including Kersey III and Terrace View Apartments) utilize 12%
maximum road grades as do many roads going into Lakeland without any adverse
impacts.
E. Literal interpretation of the provisions of this title would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district;
Response: This plat is located on a hillside between the valley floor (Kersey Way)
and the Lakeland plateau. Neighboring Kersey III is on the same hillside and will
have many instances of 12% roads (including portions of Evergreen Way).
Major roads accessing the plateau (Lake Tapps Parkway) employ 12% grades as
does the recently constructed Terrace View Apartments. This is typical and
necessary for hillside development.

F. The approval of the modification will be consistent with the purpose of this title;
Response: The city of Auburn consists of a variety of lands from near-flat to near-
mountainous. This mix of topography makes Auburn a desirable living destination.
For example, Lakeland Hills was developed with road slopes from 2% to 15% and is
a very successful neighborhood. This project would be consistent with
neighborhoods such as those found in Lakeland Hills, which are safe, accessible and
fit in with the overall design of neighborhoods and communities throughout the
greater Auburn area.
G. The modification cannot lessen the requirements of the zoning ordinance. Any such
modification must be processed as a variance pursuant to ACC 18.70.010.
Response: This project appears to be consistent with all requirements of the
underlying zoning ordinance.

RE: Lakeland Hills Estates, (File Nos. SEP05-0039 / PLT05-0004) Project No.: 05056
Dear Steve:
As a function of designing the preliminary plat for Lakeland Hills Estates, it is necessary
to request a modification to city of Auburn Plat standards. The specific modification is
for singular access to the upper portion of the development.
Per Auburn eity Code 17.18.030, a number of criteria must be met in order to grant a plat
modification. The following outline provides each of your comments in italics exactly as
written, along with a narrative response describing how each comment was addressed:
Such modification is necessary because of special circumstances related to the size,
shape, topography location or surroundings of the subject property, to provide the owner
with development rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity and in
the zoning district in which the subject property is located;
Response: The initial proposal for this project was to provide a connection through
the project between Kersey Way and Kersey Ill's road infrastructure. This allowed
the plat to be designed with a connection to Kersey Way and a connection to
Evergreen Way via Kersey Ill's road infrastructure. Following a final
determination by the city in July that determined maximum road grades for the
development, we have jointly worked out a redesign of the plat to remove this
connection and drop the elevation of the lower portion of the project, essentially
creating an upper and lower plat area with no through connection. As a function of
this redesign, the upper section of the plat will have approx. 19 lots with single
access to Evergreen Way via Kersey Ill's road infrastructure. Added together with
the 32 lots in Kersey III already served by this same access, a total of 51 lots would
be served via singular access.

That, because of such special circumstances, the development of the property in strict
conformity with the provisions of this title will not allow a reasonable and harmonious
use of the property;
Response: These lots meet all other development requirements set forth by the city
of Auburn. Prior designs proposing 12% road grades allowed these lots to be served
via two access points. They are restricted now due to splitting the site into separated
sections to meet a maximum road grade throughout the development of 7.5%. With
Kersey III proposing 32 lots served by the Evergreen Way access, denial of this
request could result in the loss of all 19 lots proposed on the upper portion of the
site, which would not constitute reasonable use of the property.
C. That the modification, if granted, will not alter the character of the neighborhood, or
be detrimental to surrounding properties in which the property is located;
Response: This modification is simply an allowance for additional lots to be served
via single access beyond code. It will not alter the character of the neighborhood nor
be detrimental to surrounding properties.
D. Such modification will not be materially detrimental to the implementation of the
policies and objectives of the comprehensive land use, circulation and utility plans of the
city;
Response: This plat modification will not be detrimental to the implementation of
the policies and objectives of the comprehensive land use, circulation and utility
plans of the city. These lots meet all other development requirements set forth by
the city of Auburn with the exception of secondary emergency access.
E. Literal interpretation of the provisions of this title would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district;
Response: Denial of this plat modification request would likely result in the loss of
all 19 lots proposed in the upper portion of the development that the applicant is
allowed under the current zoning code. This would be in stark contrast to
development currently underway next door in Kersey III.
F The approval of the modification will be consistent with the purpose of this title;
Response: The plat modification being requested is to allow 19 lots to be developed
via a single access that meet all other development requirements set forth by the city
of Auburn. Approval of such a modification is consistent with the purpose of this
title.

Dear Steve:
As a function of designing the preliminary plat for Lakeland Hills Estates, it will be
necessary to request a modification to city of Auburn Plat standards. The specific
modification is for a boulevard entrance to the lower portion of the plat from Kersey
Way.
Per Auburn City Code 17.18.030, a number of criteria must be met in order to grant a plat
modification. The following outline provides each of your comments in italics exactly as
written, along with a narrative response describing how each comment was addressed:

with no through connection. As a function of this redesign, the lower section of the
plat will have approx. 51 lots with single access to Kersey Way. The site frontage
along Kersey Way is too short to provide a second connection; therefore we are
proposing to use a split "boulevard-style" entry road that will satisfy secondary
emergency access requirements.

That, because of such special circumstances, the development of the property in strict
conformity with the provisions of this title will not allow a reasonable and harmonious
use of the property;
Response: The geometry of the property and local topography restricts the site to a
single access to Kersey Way. With the plat separated vertically into two separate
sections due to road grade requirements, a boulevard entrance is the only way we
can satisfy secondary access requirements for the approx. 51 lots in the lower
portion of the site.
C. That the modification, if granted, will not alter the character of the neighborhood, or
be detrimental to surrounding properties in which the property is located;
Response: This modification will enhance the site entrance to the lower portion of
the site from the simple access road previously proposed. The center island will
allow for planting of trees that will divide roadway surface into two separate roads.
D. Such modification will not be materially detrimental to the implementation of the
policies and objectives of the comprehensive land use, circulation and utility plans of the
city;
Response: A plat modification to allow this bonlevard access will not be detrimental
to the implementation of the policies and objectives of the comprehensive land use,
circulation and utility plans of the city. It will be designed as a public street in all
aspects which will provide for utility corridors and circulation for the proposed plat.
E. Literal interpretation of the provisions of this title would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district;
Response: Denial of this plat modification request would result in the loss of
approx. 26 lots in the lower portion of the development that the applicant is allowed
under the current zoning code.
F. The approval of the modification will be consistent with the purpose of this title;
Response: The plat modification being requested is to allow a slightly different style
of entry road that will satisfy the requirement for secondary emergency access to
the lower 51 lots. Approval of such a modification is consistent with the purpose of
this title.

RE: Lakeland Hills Estates
PED Job No.: 05056
Dear Steve:
Per your request, we have reviewed the following request presented in your em ail of
November 1, 2006:
Applicant needs to address access concerns to the proposed storm ponds around the
proposed sewer lift station. Is the existing right-of Way for 41h Street wide enough to
accommodate both uses in this area?
The Right of Way for 49th is currently 50-feet wide. The city has indicated that direct access
to 49th from Kersey Way will be closed and access to the interim sanitary sewer lift station-
Lakeland Hills Estates storm ponds will be via a 15-foot wide paved access road beginning at
the cul-de-sac at the end of Road A, traversing along the top edge of pond cell 1 through
Tract D and then accessing onto the right-of-way proper where a 12-foot wide gravel access
road will be constructed. This is shown on Sheet PI2 of the preliminary plat plans dated 09-
28-06.
Using the Terrace View Pump Station as a guide, the interim pump station pad is anticipated
to be approximately 35 feet wide by 45 feet long. At these dimensions, it will likely need to
be placed partway onto the Lakeland Hills site in order to accommodate access and grading
issues. The applicant for Lakeland Hills Estates has stated in the past that if necessary, an
agreement could be worked out for such a solution. I have attached a sketch of one possible
scenario of how the station might be located this way;
If you have questions, comments, or need additional information, please contact me at 206-
431-7970. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Enclosure:

REVISED CONDITIONS LAKELAND HILL ESTATES
11/7/06
At this time, City staff can not support the plat modification request to address access concerns to
the proposed storm pond and the location and layout of the proposed interim sanitary sewer lift
station. Instead, staff proposes the following modification to the proposed conditions as follows:
Conditions #1 & 2 to be revised as follows:
1. Prior to final plat approval, the construction of a gravity sewer system is required to serve the
property per the 2001 Sanitary Sewer Comprehensive Sewer Plan, to the north along Kersey
Way and west along the White River to the Lakeland Hills (King County Metro) Pump Station.
1.A. As an alternative, a single sewer pump station, if feasible, may be constructed to temporarily
serve the proposed development until such time as the permanent gravity sewer is in place.
Some of the feasibility issues to consider involve the ability to bypass pump the system, providing
safe working pressures within the pumping system, and available downstream capacity of the
existing gravity system. The pump station shall be designed and constructed to serve the sewer
basin determined by the City. In addition. the interim pump station shall be located such that it
provides adequate space to meet the desiQn requirements for the interim pump station. access to
the pump station and access to the storm drainaqe ponds. Meetinq this requirement may impact
the confiquration and total number of lots proposed. particularly lots 65 throuqh 69.
1.8. In the event the City Engineer accepts an interim pump station to serve this development
and the sewer basin, the applicant shall be financially responsible for his proportional share of the
construction of the gravity system identified in the 2001 Sanitary Sewer Comprehensive Plan.
Prior to final plat approval, execution of a Non-remonstrance Agreement between the City and the
applicant shall be required to meet this financial obligation. [Former Condition #2]
Revision to Condition #24
24. Maintenance access shall be provided to all structures proposed to be in public ownership
and to the proposed storm ponds. The remaining portions (as Applicable) of this system shall be
placed within a tract dedicated to the Homeowners Association for maintenance and operation.
New Condition #35
35. Permanent qravity sanitary sewer service for the development is to be provided throuqh a
connection to the future Kersey Way qravity line by routinq flows down Road E (from the manhole
at the intersection of Road A and Road F) to Kersey Way. Permanent qravity service to the Road
A cul-de-sac may be routed throuah Tract D and then to the future Kersey Way aravity line.
Should the interim lift station be acceptable. the developer will need to provide a temporary
gravity line from the Kersey Way line to the proposed lift station.
