Richard Thompkins. Pacific Engineering Design, 4800 South
188th Street, Seattle
Mr. Thompkins referred to a display board regarding the
storm drainage system for Terrace View. Mr. Thompkins
explained that the site is approximately fifty-two acres and is
comprised of four development areas known as North and
South Upper Terraces for multi-family units and North and
South Commercial Benches for commercial development.
There are presently about 430 multi-family units and
approximately 70,000 square feet of-commercial retail
planned. The site will have its own drainage system, which
will collect run-off from the new impervious areas.
Approximately twenty-four acres of the fifty-two acre site will
be developed and approximately nineteen of those acres will
be impervious. The site is a former gravel pit that has been
reclaimed for this development. The run-off will be collected
in a system that will convey it into a public storm system that
will be extended as part of the new north access ramp to the
Lake Tapps Parkway.
Mr. Thompkins stated that Pierce County is constructing a
regional facility off-site to the west, known as the Trillium
Pond, which will accommodate the Terrace View project. An
additional drainage conveyance system will carry off-site,
up-stream drainage through the site to a new culvert under
East Valley Highway, which will connect to the County's
proposed stream system that will be conveyed to the White
River.
