GARRISON GREENS SUBDIVISION
#ENV-2003-15 (KIVA #2031459)
Responsible Official: Kim Marousek,AICP Prepared by: Matt Gilbert
I. PROPOSAL
The applicant has proposed a preliminary long subdivision of 6 51 acres into 19 residential lots
and one (1) storm drainage tract The minimum lot size proposed is 9,622 square feet. Garrison
Creek flows parallel and immediately adjacent to the northern boundary of this site Associated
areas of class III wetlands, totaling approximately 125 square feet, are located in the north
' easterly portion of the site. The wetland and wetland buffer areas as well as on-site stream buffer
areas will be enclosed in no-build easements The proposed subdivision will also include the
installation of associated infrastructure
The subject site is located at 10922 and 11004 SE 2441h Street and composed of two tax parcels

Sections 15.08.220 to 15 08 224, and to Section 15 08 240 of the Kent City Code may require the
conveyance of Sensitive Area Tracts to the City of Kent, in order to- preserve trees; or to regulate
the location and density of development based upon known physical constraints such as steep
and/or unstable slopes, wetlands or proximity to streams or lakes, or to maintain or enhance water
quality. Compliance with the provisions of Chapter 6.12 of the Kent City Code may require
provisions for future mass transit adjacent to the site.
Notice of Application l
Garrison Greens Subdivision
#ENV-2003-15/#203I459
In addition to the above, Kent follows revisions to the Washington State Environmental Policy
Act, Chapter 197-11 WAC (effective November 10, 1997), which implements ESHB 1724 and
ESB 6094.
Mitigating conditions are applied, because identified impacts cannot adequately be addressed by
existing City Codes and Ordinances.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
A. Earth
The project site has been described as flat to roiling and generally slopes to the northwest
at a slope of approximately 3% with maximum on-site slopes of 15%. Soils on this site
have been identified as Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam, which is characterized by
moderately well drained soils. At full build-out, approximately 60% of the subject site
will be covered with impervious surface.
Construction activities on this site will result in increased potential for erosion. The
applicant will provide temporary erosion control measures such as silt fences, straw bates
and temporary storm drainage facilities in accordance with City of Kent standards.
Approximately 168 square feet of wetland in the northeast corner of the property will be
filled and relocated, and an additional 2,000-3,000 cubic yards of soil excavated for road '
and storm water facility construction.
The Owner / Subdivider shall be required to submit and receive approval of a Detailed '
Grading Plan from the Department of Public Works for the entire development These
Plans will be required to meet the requirements of the City of Kent Construction
Standards and City of Kent Development Assistance Brochure #1-3, Excavation and
Grading Permits & Grading Plans These plans shall include provisions for utilities,
roadways, retention / detention ponds / facilities, stormwater treatment facilities, and a
building footpad for each building. These plans shall also be designed to eliminate the
need for processing several individual Grading Permits upon application for Building
Permits.
The Owner/ Subdivider shall be required to submit and receive approval of a Temporary
Erosion / Sedimentation Control Plan meeting the requirements of the City of Kent
Construction Standards from the Department of Public Works for the entire development
These plans shall be required to reflect the Detailed Grading Plan discussed above and
the Detailed Tree Plan meeting the requirements of City of Kent Development Assistance
Brochure #3, Detailed Tree Plans,approved by the Planning Department.
B. Air
Emissions and dust particulates generated pnmarily by constriction equipment will be
produced during the construction phase of this project Long term air quality impacts
will be generated by vehicles associated with the new residential land use.
The applicant has proposed frequent watering of the site during the construction phase of
this project to control dust and other particulates generated on the site.
C. Water
The subject site is immediately adjacent to Garrison Creek, which is classified as a minor
stream Wetland areas associated with Garrison Creek are located in the northeast corner
Page 2 of 7
Notice of Application
Garrison Greens Subdivision
4ENV-2003-15 /#2031459
of the property. The applicant has proposed to fill the approximately 125 square foot
northeast wetland. Pursuant to the mitigation standards found in Kent City Code 11.05,
the applicant has proposed to create new wetland area The applicant has provided the
City with a wetland delineation prepared by Chad Armour LLC, which has been
approved by the City of Kent.
On-site storm water runoff will primarily be generated from roadways, residential
I structures and associated driveways. Storm water will be collected in catch basins within
the roadways and/or tight-lined from residential roof tops and conveyed to a proposed on
site detention facility All run-off will be conveyed into the proposed storm water
management system or allowed to infiltrate. Discharges from the detention facility will
ultimately enter the wetlands. All stormwater management facilities will be designed
according to City of Kent standards.
The Owner / Subdivider shall be required to complete a drainage analysis and develop
and submit drainage plans according to the 2002 City of Kent Surface Water Design
Manual and the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual.
The proposed project is located in the Garrison Creek watershed, which flows into the
Green River.
This site contains a 125 sq ft category 3 wetland as defined by Kent City Code Chapter
11.05. The wetland is located in the north east portion of the property and shall be
mitigated in accordance with Kent City Code Chapter 1105, including recording a
sensitive area easement or deeding the property to the city for preservation of wetland
function and values. The project is also proposing a sewer extension through a wetland
buffer on the adjacent property This wetland is a category 2 wetland and the buffer shall
be mitigated in accordance with Kent City Code Chapter 11.05. A copy of the
delineation is located in the Public Works Department, Engineering Division, in Wetland
File No 02-12
The proposed development will impact 125 sq. ft of wetland, which requires mitigation
in accordance with Kent City Code 11 05 A conceptual wetland mitigation plan may be
found in Wetland File No 02-12. A final wetland mitigation plan must be approved
pursuant to Kent City Code Chapter 11 05 prior to issuance of any development permits.
If the applicant proposes mitigation off-site on an ad3acent property, the applicant must
prove that they have permission to complete mitigation on that site.
Wetlands provide functions for wildlife by providing habitat Encroachment into buffers
of c ntical a reas, including wetlands, often occurs unintentionally by adjacent property
owners, which impacts wetlands and the associated buffers. A structure, such as a fence,
would denote the location of the boundary to the sensitive area as defined by Kent City
Code Chapter 1105 Wildlife passable fences, such as a split cedar fence, provide
protection to the critical areas and associated buffers, allowing wildlife access to habitats
found in wetlands. In addition, the wildlife passable fence provides a suitable location
for educational material such as signage identifying wetland areas.
D. Plants
A wide range of vegetation exists on the subject site. Deciduous and evergreen trees,
shrubs, grasses as well as wet soil plants have all been identified in various plant
communities. The applicant has indicated that 70% of the vegetation on the site will be
Page 3 of 7

Garrison Greens Subdivision
#ENV-2003-15/#2031459
removed or altered through the construction of this project. The applicant has submitted
a survey of significant on-site trees and, as part of civil construction plan review, will be i
required t o s ubmit a nd r eceive a pproval o f a d etailed t ree p Ian t hat s hows trees t o b e s
retained.
The Owner/ Subdivider shall be required to submit and receive approval of a Landscape
Plan meeting the requirements of the City of Kent Construction Standards, and the
landscape requirements for retention / detention ponds in the City of Kent and King
County Surface Water Design Manuals. Both the Kent Planning Department and the
Department of Public Works must approve these plans prior to, or in conjunction with,
the approval of the Engineering Plans
E. Animals
There are existing sensitive areas such as creeks and wetlands downstream of this
proposal. The City of Kent as well as the Washington State Department of Fish
and Wildlife (WDFW) have an interest in the continued health of these areas.
Therefore, the Applicant/Owner/Subdivider shall be required to obtain an
approved Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) from the WDFW or a written waiver
there from.
F. Land and Shoreline Use ,
The two subject parcels are each currently developed with a single family home and
various accessory structures. On the western parcel, only the single family home and the
adjacent garage will remain. On the eastern parcel, the home, the adjacent garage and a
small shed will be retained.
Properties to the south, east and west of the site, are zoned SR-3, Single Family
Residential. A dl owing 1 and to the n ortb of the s ubject s ite i s z oned MR-M,M edium
Density Multifamily.
Housing to the south, east and w est c onsists o f a in ixture o f(older and newer) s mgle
family residences on both platted and unplatted lots An apartment complex is located
immediately north of the site.
G. Housing
Seventeen new housing units will be created through this proposal. The two existing
homes on the site will remain.
H. Transportation
The Washington State Legislature created the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Law in
1991 with the goals of reducing traffic congestion, air pollution and petroleum
consumption. This law requires major employers to encourage their employees to use
commute alternatives such as transit, carpools, bicycles, walking, compressed work
weeks, telecommuting, and flexible work schedules to reduce drive alone commute trips
during the peak congestion periods The City addresses the transit alternative by requiring
that the Owner / Subdivider accommodate the needs for transit as expressed by King
County Metro Transit.
The proposed development project is located within the East Hill area of the City and will
take its primary access from Southeast 244'b Street. This public street has an existing
public right-of-way width of about 60-feet, while the asphalt street width is currently
Page 4 of 7
Nonce of Application
Garrison Greens Subdivision
#ENV-2003-15/#2031459
about 18 to 22-feet wide The existing street provides for two narrow lanes of traffic,but
does not include the following other improvements: cement concrete curbs & gutters;
stormwater drainage system,cement concrete sidewalks, nor a street lighting system.
The existing asphalt and gravel pavement section of this portion of the street prism is
inadequate to provide an expected 20-year service life for the motoring public and may
be in need of a n asphalt o verlay /r ebuild i n order t o maintain an a cceptable 1 evel of
service while accommodating the increased volume of trips being generated by this
proposal.
Streets and roadways, which do not provide adequate capacity for motor vehicles, and
streets that have failing pavement sections, result in increased air pollution when
compared to streets that comply with current standards and provide adequate capacity and
pavement section. Similarly, intersections that do not provide for adequate capacity also
increase the levels of air pollution.
Southeast 244"' Street is classified as a Residential Collector Street upon the City's
Master Plan of Roadways, which will require: a minimum of 60-feet of public right-of-
way; a 36-foot wide asphalt roadway with two traffic lanes, plus two parking strips;
vertical c ement concrete curbs & gutters, a 5-foot wide planter strip, a nd 5-foot wide
cement concrete sidewalks on both sides of the street, a stormwater drainage system; a
City-approved street lighting system, public utilities, and other street appurtenances when
fully improved.
This development is within an area that is characterized by streets with narrow traffic
lanes and narrow or no shoulders, and has been identified as having substandard
pedestrian facilities This development will required to design and construct off-site
sidewalks / walkways to provide safe travel for school-age pedestrians to and from
George Daniel Elementary School or financially participate in same as determined by the
Public Works Department,
Southeast 244`b Street is currently not improved to its design standard, and will require
improvement/widening in conjunction with this development to support this project and
continued development in the area
This development will cause significant and/or additional congestion at the following
intersections.
Southeast 244h Street and 116ei Avenue Southeast
Southeast 244`b Street and 100 Avenue Southeast
116a'Avenue Southeast and Southeast 248" Street
116'b Avenue Southeast and Kent Kangley Road/SR-516
Southeast 240t' Street and 104a'Avenue Southeast
The current average daily traffic (ADT) along Southeast 244th Street is approximately
600 vehicles This development will add an estimated 170 daily and 17 PM peak hour
trips to the local street system.
The subject site takes access to public right of way via SE 244th Street, which connects
to James Street The site is not directly served by transit service. The nearest Metro stop
is located approximately 600 feet south of the site

Kent-Des Moines Road to S 252°d Street
Public Hearing for Confirmation of Final Assessment Roll
' February 15, 2005 has been scheduled for the confirmation hearing on the final assessment roll
for Local Improvement District 358.
BACKGROUND
1 The Pacific Highway South HOV Lanes project has been in the planning and construction phase
for a number of years Various jurisdictions are involved, each completing their portion of the
route. The portion within the City of Kent is being constructed in phases and is not yet complete.
Other portions are complete.
Various funding sources, including grants and City money,have been approved for the project.
In addition,there were originally a total of 19 properties that were included in this proposed LID.
However, three parcels were combined into one assessment due to a lot line adjustment reducing
the total number to 17 properties All of the properties are subject to No Protest LID Covenants
for street frontage improvements for which those improvements are now part of the City's
project. Property owners were required to execute a no protest LID Covenant in lieu of having to
construct their street frontage improvements in conjunction with building their development with
the exception of one recently-developed property that was added prior to the formation of the
E LID whose owner agreed to be included in the LID to satisfy his obligation for providing
frontage improvements Since more-recent developments along Pacific Highway have either
constructed their frontage improvements or paid the City the equivalent dollar amount to include
same into the City's project,the Public Works Department determined it was only fair to follow
up on these obligations As such, the department contacted these property owners with three
options on how to proceed and meet their obligation The choices included constructing the
improvements themselves,paying the City to construct, or forming an LID to provide payment
over 10 years. Seven of the properties requested the City form an LID, 2 were undecided and the
others did not respond. Based on the result of this survey, the City proceeded with formation of
' the LID.
The Resolution of Intent No. 1683 was approved by City Council on August 17, 2004 which set '
the LID formation hearing date for October 5,2004. City Council passed Ordinance No. 3717 on
October 19, 2004 forming the LID. We are now ready to finalize the LID Assessment Roll.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The Pacific Highway South HOV Lanes Project will reconstruct and widen the roadway to a '
curb to curb width of 86 feet providing a northbound and southbound high occupancy vehicle
lane adjacent to the street curb with a raised center median Improvements also include the
construction of concrete curb, gutters, a 7-foot-wide sidewalk,undergroundmg the overhead
utilities,upgrading the existing traffic signals,control of driveway access points, drainage and
illummation system unprovements.
PROJECT FUNDING '
The total cost of this project is approximately$10,431,116. The City is receiving funds from
several sources. federal and state funds($7,776,613), Local/Pnvate fimds($2,081,905) and the ,
Local Improvement District($572,598). The LID constitutes only 5.5 percent of the total project
costs.
CORRESPONDENCE WITH AFFECTED PROPERTIES ,
In June 2003,the City of Kent sent a letter to each affected property owner explaining
improvements the City of Kent is constructing along Pacific Highway South That letter also
explained the property owner's commitment to provide improvements along the frontage of their
property. This letter informed the owners that even though they may not have personally
executed the Covenant, they are the current owner of this property and, by law, are now subject ,
to the terms and conditions of the Covenant. A copy of the LID Covenant was provided in that
letter.
In February 2004,the City of Kent sent another letter further explaining the property owner's ,
commitment and, in that letter, the City presented the property owners three alternatives for
meeting this commitment: Direct payment to the City for cost of improvements, constructing the '
improvements themselves or formation of a Local Improvement District Each owner was asked
to indicate their preferred option on an attachment to the letter and return it to the City.
In August 2004 the City sent a letter to each property owner explaining the City's intention to
proceed with the formation of the LID. This letter also provided them notice of an informal
public meeting to be held at the City. ,
On September 13, 2004 each property owner was sent their preliminary assessment and a notice
of the Public Hearing to be held on October 5, 2004.
The informal property owner meeting was held on September 22, 2004 in council chambers to
provide each property owners affected by the LID an opportunity to ask the City staff questions
regarding the project or their assessment. One property owner chose to attend this meeting
1
The public hearing for formation of this LID was held in front of the Council on October 5,
2004 Nobody spoke at the hearing
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
1 Since the requirements of the property owners was to provide frontage improvements, the LID
costs were calculated based on a front footage charge
' PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENT
Upon City Council passing the Ordinance confirming the final assessment roll,there is a 30-day
period in which any or all of the assessment can be paid without interest charges After the 30-
1 day period, the balance is to be paid over a ten-year period wherein each year's payment is one-
tenth of the principal plus interest on the unpaid balance. The market rate at the time the LID
bonds are sold determine the interest rate

Critical Areas Ordinance#ZCA-20044
Principal Planner Kim Marousek gave an overview of previous meetings and actions taken with regards to the Critical
Areas Ordinance. She stated that the scope for this evening focuses on the issue of wetland buffers and specifically
whether buffers could be reduced with enhancements
Ms. Marousek addressed questions raised by Chair Clark with respect to standard buffer widths.
Ms. Marousek submitted letters for the record from Master Builder's Association dated November I", from The Soos
Creek Water and Sewer District on November 2nd, a letter from Oberto dated November 15, and a letter from the
Washington Department of Ecology dated November 29
Chair Clark declared the public hearing open
Paul Morford, PO Box 6345, Kent, WA 98064 stated that buffer distances were not based on best available science and
I that by increasing buffers,housing prices will increase,urging the Committee to leave the buffers as is
Floyd Erford, 11909 SE 248 h St., Kent, WA suggested that the City consider taking 25 feet of everyone's land rather
then targeting a few people. Joe Schuler, 28014 West Valley Highway, Kent, WA stated that the City created two
ponds on his property located on Frontage Road and 44`" Street. Chair Clark suggested that Kim Marousek speak with
him as his property is not inside Kent's boundaries Bill Applegate, 24520 112'h Ave SE, Kent, WA cited examples of
why aquifers are not protected
John Welch, 11405 SE 1961h,Kent,WA described his buffer issues, voicing opposition to an additional 25 foot buffer.
Bill Dinsdale, 13700 SE 266'h, Kent, WA stated that widening buffers will affect several of his properties citing an
estimated financial impact on one piece of property at between S750,000 and$1 1 million dollars. He stated that the city
would lose $30,000 dollars the first year in revenue with mitigation and permit fees and a $3,000 per year loss in taxes
I He suggested that,the city appoint a citizen's advisory council to make changes to the buffer in one year rather then now.
Mr. Kim Hargesheimer, 21626 107`h St. E, Buckley,WA stated that he manages the Oberto Sausage Company at 7060
S 238d'speaking on behalf of Art and Dorothy Oberto He stated that their consideration to expand Oberto, employing an
additional 45 people would be prohibitive with new regulations and could force them to move business to Oregon.
Tom Sharp, PO Box 918, Maple Valley, WA opined that a major problem would be loss of economic opportunity and
suggested applying the PUD ordinance to properties less than five acres in size to allow people more opportunity to
develop
Garrett Hoffman, South King County Manager, Master Builders Association submitted a letter to the record

presentation and exhibit for the record He spoke about buffer balancing, focusing on the structure of the GMA and
presented a buffer related case of W E A N vs Island County
Ms. Frankie Keyes, 10216 SE 2671h St, Kent, WA stated that by increasing the buffers people are losing their property
rights and in effect is the city's way of taking private property
Richard Robohm, Washington State Dept of Ecology, Northwest Regional Office stated that one GMA goal requires
that BAS be used to protect critical areas functions and values He stated that the city's draft proposal is at the low end of
the range of BAS, the classification system that provides a basis for establishing buffers is out of date, and compensation
ratios are half of what they need to be with regard to the loss of filling wetlands and mitigation project failures
Gary Volchok, 16400 SouthCenter Parkway, Suite 100, Seattle, WA 98188 gave a power point presentation focused
on wetlands on a specific property. He stated that he owns two acres of property that would see a reduction in the
developable portion with an increase to buffering He stated that his original property value was $549,000 and now the
value would be$223,000.
Alan Keimig, 216 A. St. NW, Auburn, WA stated that buffering should not be considered on set criteria rather on an
individual parcel bases per BAS
Gary Young, Polygon NW, 11624 SE 5'h St., Suite 200, Bellevue, WA questioned what the City would gain by
extending buffers an additional 25 feet across the board in the three categories, stating that the cost is greater than the
gain He urged the Committee to take a year to reconsider their decision before taking action.
Randy Reber,28519 136`' Ave. SE, Kent, WA stated that his family owns 46 acres He stated that increased buffering
will reduce his lot usage near Soosette Creek, Mr. Reber questioned the incentive to keep property with the continual
erosion of property values while still paying taxes on unused land
Theresa Dusek, Barghausen Consulting Engineers, 18215 72"d Avenue S., Kent, WA stated that she works with
developers and cities Ms Dusek opined on buffer averaging versus buffer reduction, questioning if existing buffers of 25
feet or less cause degradation of wetland functions and values She stated that an across the board increase buffer of 25
feet needs to be questioned
Ms. Marousek and Ms. Lizzie Zemke, wetland consultant with Adolfson &Associates addressed some of the concerns
raised as part of the testimony including how BAS was incorporated into the Critical Areas Ordinance for Kent Ms.
Marousek stated that staff has looked at the Growth Management Goals with respect to the valley floor area and the
stream regulations that were brought forward.
Richard Weinman, Huckle, Weinman and Associates addressed comments made by a couple speakers with regard to
the W E A N decision, Division 1 of the Court of Appeals on June 7, 2004 He explained that while the W E.A N.
decision was decided recently it does not add more new information to the case law. The consultant team and staff have
been conscious throughout this process of the need to balance GMA goals and have been doing the same throughout the
process The balancing of goals is what has resulted in the proposed buffers being on the lower end of the best available
science range Weinman explained that the Court in W E A N did not Justify a departure from beset available science in
that case, rather the discussion of balancing GMA goals was a general statement,dicta,not a basis for the decision.
Assistant City Attorney, Kim Adams Pratt stated that the Legal Department concurs with Mr. Weinman's assessment
of the W E A N case It is not new information and the City's consultants and staff have been balancing GMA goals
throughout the process The Court in W E A N is not saying that RCW 36 70A 172 can be disregarded, which provides
that best available science shall be included in developing policies and regulations to protect the functions and values of
critical areas The Court emphasized that"this means all functions and values"
Deborah Ranniger, City Council Member commented on Mr Sharp's suggestion to revisit the PUD concept, on the
economic cost to the city versus the incremental gam achieved by adding an additional 25 feet of wetland buffer and on
changing wetland criteria stating that the city should consider delaying a decision
Ms. Marousek stated that the GMA mandate is December 1, 2004. She stated that the city has not prepared a detailed
cost analysis of impacts to citizens. However,there is a cost to the city if the critical areas environment is not protected.
Ms Marousek stated that the existing 3-tier classification system was acceptable to the city and when our consultants
looked at changing to the 4-tiered system, it wasn't much more beneficial
Richard Weinman stated that if the city does not adopt the Critical Areas Ordinance by December 1, 2004, it will
technically be out of compliance with the GMA and the City will not be eligible for many State grants
Chair Clark declared the Public Hearing Closed
Chair Clark MOVED and Bruce White SECONDED to approve the proposed Critical Areas Ordinance,ZCA-2002-4 as
recommended by the Land Use Planning Board with the amendments recommended by staff related to the wetland buffers
and forward the ordinance to the City Council for their decision
Committee Member White suggested that the City enlist a company like Polygon to tell the city how a current regulation
development has been degraded,voicing his opposition to move forward with these new regulations.
Member Harmon suggested the formation of an Ad-Hoc Committee for the duration of 60 to 90 days, to assist staff with
forming a compromise acceptable to all parties,and then move it on to Council
Community Development Director, Fred Satterstrom stated that staff and consultants have been cognizant of how this
ordinance will effect land development. Mr Satterstrom suggested that a meeting be held with the Full Council if the
Committee does not recommend this ordinance and wishes to depart from Best Available Science.
Chair Clark stated that the City is required by law under the GMA to move forward with a Critical Areas Ordinance and
by not complying the City could suffer severe consequences including ending up in court. He stated that postponing a
decision does a disservice to the community and city
Chair Clark called for the vote Motion failed 2 to 1 with Members Harmon and White Opposed.
Mr. Satterstrom suggested setting up a workshop with Full Council.

related to the Muth Amendment and staff s recommendation of Denial without Prejudice In response to an
inquiry by Member White, Assistant City Attorney Kim Adams Pratt stated her office is of the opinion that
once King County acts on this property, the applicant would not have to wait to resubmit this proposal with
the annual comprehensive plan updates in September 2005 because the Kent City Council can declare an
emergency to look at issues considered to be of community wide significance outside of the annual
Comprehensive Plan cycle It appears this application could be of community-wide significance because of
