II. DISCUSSION AND INFORMATION
A. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TECHNIQUES FIELD TRIP
Committee members and staff conducted a van field trip of two residential subdivisions. The first
stop was at the Woodbrook Community Park Gazebo at the Highlands at Woodbrook, a single
family residential development constructed by Schneider Homes in the West Hill area of
unincorporated King County at the 5300 block of South 284'h Street. The second stop was a
walking tour of Woodridge, a detached condominium residential development constructed by
Centex Homes at 12211 NE 203rd Street in Bothell. Committee members and staff discussed
and reviewed the following:
• Design techniques for addressing vertical street grades, street intersections on slopes,
landing areas for streets on steep slopes, visual appearance of straight streets versus
curvilinear streets on steep slopes;
• The potential for applying different street standards to cul-de-sac stubs of relatively short
length;
• How to accommodate Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements at sidewalks
and street crossings;
• The safety and maneuverability for vehicles in residential development on steep slopes;
• The use and maintenance of different types of retaining walls to stabilize sloped
development sites;
• Home owner association maintenance of private streets and associated stormwater
facilities; and
• Street facility life cycle and cost analyses methods used by Centex to provide future
owners with financial information about maintenance requirements for private streets.
