Edmonds School District No. 15
For►..,;r Woodway High School Multipurpose Sp-t-ts Fields
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: The proposal is the construction of a multi-purpose athletic field complex that is to occur
in three phases. Phase l consists of one large multi-purpose synthetic turf athletic field with subsurface drainage to replace an
existing natural turf multi-purpose field. This field currently accommodates little league baseball, softball and soccer uses.
This field will be large enough to accommodate 2 full size soccer fields that can also accommodate lacrosse and two full little
league baseball/softball fields with associated backstops, dugouts, ball control fencing and netting as well as pedestrian
improvements. A pedestrian walking path will be constructed around the field with accommodation for connection in future
phase. Depending on funding, a community garden area may be developed, including wood chip pathways and raised garden
bed areas. To minimize potential future disturbance, the conduit and foundation system for future lighting associated with the
Phase 1 field will be installed.
Phases 2 and 3 will be constructed at a future date depending upon funding availability and will include an identical
multipurpose synthetic turf field to the North which will connect the pedestrian pathway system to the southern field
constructed in Phase 1. To minimize potential fixture disturbance, the conduit and foundation system for future lighting
associated with Phase 2 field will be installed and connected to the infrastructure installed within the Phase 1 improvements.
Phase 3 includes a one story restroom and concession building, minor pedestrian paving improvements and sports field lighting
for all fields. Impacts of all three phases were considered in the SEPA Environmental Checklist.
The proposed action will require approval of grading, fill and excavation, building permits, height variance approval as well as a
Conditional Use Permit from the City of Edmonds. It will also require a Washington State Department of Ecology Construction
Stormwater Permit.
