DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT ® PLANNING DIVISION . December 15, 2014 Bob Harding D.A. Hogan & Associates 119 15t Ave. S, Suite 110 Seattle, WA 98104 bobh@dahogan.com Subject: Letter of Incomplete Application and SEPA Comments Former Woodway High School Multipurpose Sports Fields Files: PLN20140065, PLN20140066 &.PLN20140067 Dear Mr. Harding: The City of Edmonds has reviewed the application for design review (PLN20140065), a variance (PLN20140066), and a conditional use permit (PLN20140067), -in relation to the proposal to update the play fields and related facilities at the Former Woodway High School. Pursuant to Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) Section 20.02.002, the application has been determined to be incomplete. The following information must be submitted in order to make the application complete: 1) Revised cover letter. Please clarify the scope of the variance and the conditional use permit. In speaking with Matt Finch, the intent is to obtain all land use permits at this time but that was not clearly described. No additional permits or fees are required; however, please indicate how the variance being sought is not only for the catch fence height in the RS -8 zoned portion of the site but also for the height of the light poles in that zone. Likewise, describe how the conditional use permit is intended not only for the fencing in the OS -zoned portion of the site but also for the light poles. In addition, per ECDC 20.02.002.E, describe how.the proposal satisfies the applicable standards, requirements and criteria in the development regulations. Include here a discussion of the underlying zoning requirements as well as noise (Chapter 5.30 of the Edmonds City Code) and property performance standards (Chapter 17.60 ECDC). 2) Design review materials. Because design review is required, appropriate materials must be provided for the Architectural Design Board and Hearing Examiner to review. Please refer to page 7 of the Design Review handout (139), which is available on the City's website. In addition, please submit the following information: a. Before/after comparison. Photographs of the existing site taken from the parking lot towards the edges of the site compared with photosimulations of the same views with the project elements superimposed. b. Photometric drawing showing proposed light intensities at the edges of the,site after the lights are installed. c. Color renderings of any elevation drawings. This must at least include the proposed field house/concession stand as well as the dugout and back stop areas. d. Materials. `Submit spec sheets, photographs or similar for the materials used throughout the project— bleachers, field house/concession stand, dugouts, fence and ball control netting, light poles and lights, etc. 3) Access and parking plana Fire Marshall John Westfall has requested an access and parking plan: "Provide vehicle access plan to existing and new functional areas including parking allotments. Show gates and turnarounds provided. Callout fire lane for existing school functions`as well as interface with emergency response capability to new functional areas." Explain how the project will comply with the parking requirements in Chapter 17.50 ECDC. Please keep in mind that a complete response to this information request must be received within 90 days or the application will lapse for lack of information (ECDC 20.02.003.13).

This phase involves installing two new illuminated synthetic turf multiuse fields along with associated catch fencing, backstops and dugouts. A rubberized jogging track and walking paths will surround the project. This consolidated project requires a design review recommendation by the Architectural Design Board. The final decision on the project's design as well as conditional use permits and variances for the height of the back stops, fencing and lights will be made by the Hearing Examiner. If future funding is available, a second set of fields, backstops, fencing and lights will be installed along with a field house/concession stand; separate land use and building permits would be required for that work.

Edmonds Public Safety Complex: Council Chambers 2505 th Avenue North, Edmonds WA 98020 I. PROJECT PROPOSAL The Edmonds School District, in cooperation with Verdant Healthcare and the City of Edmonds, is proposing to upgrade the existing athletic fields at the former Woodway High School (Attachment 1). The first phase of this three-phase project involves installing two new synthetic turf fields together with catch fencing, backstops, bleachers, dugouts and lights (Attachment 2). A rubberized walking path will surround the fields (Attachment 3, Sheet F-1.0). The School District has applied for a building permit to make the field improvements (BLD20141182); the light poles are not included but could be added to that permit or be permitted separately. If future funding is available, a second set of fields, backstops, fencing and lights will be installed along with a field house/concession stand; separate land use and building permits would be required for that work. The existing school buildings, parking areas and vehicular circulation patterns will remain unchanged (Attachment 3, Sheet F-0.0). Because part of the field upgrade will occur in the Open Space zone (Attachments 4 & 5), the Architectural Design Board must review the design of the proposed improvements ["...each public use will undergo extensive review by the ADB in light of its relationship to its surrounding neighbors..." ECDC 16.80.030]. There are few specific design standards for a redevelopment project like this but the Comprehensive Plan and Edmonds Community Development Code do contain design guidance applicable to certain elements such as lighting and landscaping. This design review is being consolidated with two conditional use permits and two variances (PLN20140066, PLN20140067, PLN20150008, and PLN20150009). The CUPS and variances are ATTACHMENT 10 Phase 1 - FWHS Field Improvements Former Woodway High School Play Field Improvements PLN20140065 required because the site is split -zoned [Open Space (OS) and Residential Single Family (RS -8)] and because the height of the proposed fencing and light poles exceeds that which is regularly allowed in the OS and RS -8 zones. Fence height will range in height between 8' and 30' (Attachment 3, Sheets F-1.5, F-2.5 and F-2.6) while the light poles will be from 60' to 90' tall (Attachment 8, Sheets E-1.0 & E-2.0). Because this is a consolidated review, the ADB will make a recommendation about the project's design to the Hearing Examiner who will then hold a public hearing and issue the final decision on the design of this phase of the project as well as the four associated land use permits. The following Attachments are included with this report: 1. Land use applications and project narratives 2. Photos of similar sites and photosimulations of the proposal 3. November 18, 2014 plans (cover sheet, drainage and grading, elevations) 4. Zoning map 5. Aerial photo 6. Correspondence and public notice documentation for design review meeting 7.

Tax Parcel Number: 27033600202200 4. Location: 23200 100th Avenue West, Edmonds, WA 98020 5. Project size: Approximately 7 acres of 40 acre school site 6. Zonin : Open Space (OS) & Single Family Residential (RS -8) 7. Existing Use: Scriber Lake High School (within the former Woodway High School) and associated athletic fields and improvements 8. Proposed Use: No change (upgrading the existing athletic fields) 9. Decision Process: Consolidated Type III -B decision, appealable to City Council The Edmonds School District is acting as lead agency for SEPA review. A determination has not been issued as of the date of this report. Page 2 of 7 Former Woodway High School Play Field Improvements PLN20140065 A "Notice of Application and Public Meeting" was published in the Herald Newspaper, posted at the subject site, as well as the Public Safety Complex, Community Development Department, and the Library on February 18, 2015 (Attachment 6). Notices were also mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the site. No public comments have been received as of the date of this report. Public comment will be requested as part of the public hearing process before the Hearing Examiner at a future date. This application was reviewed and evaluated by Fire District #1 as well as the Building and Engineering Divisions (Attachment 7). Each group, in addition to Planning, Public Works and others, will review the associated building permit for compliance with all applicable codes. 1. Topography: The bulk of the site where the school and fields are located is level. Steeper slopes fall away from the level area on the east, south and west. 2. Soils: According to the Soil Survey of Snohomish County Area, Washington, the level portion of the site is underlain by "Urban land" soils. The east slope is underlain by soils identified as "Alderwood Urban Land Complex, 2 - 8% slopes"" while the south and west slopes are composed of "Everett gravelly sand loam, 15 — 25% slopes". 3. Critical Areas: A critical area determination in 1993 (CRA19930154) identified the site as a conditional waiver. When the critical areas code was updated in 2005, the site was reclassified to contain areas of possible erosion and landslide hazards as well as a 'School Grounds' habitat conservation area for the forest buffer around the school and fields. 4. Wildlife: Wildlife associated with the property is typical of an urban environment including song birds and small mammals. 5. Vegetation: The site has typical school landscaping with large areas of grass while the whole site is surrounded by the forest buffer noted above. 6. Shoreline: The subject property is not located within shoreline jurisdiction. The school site is surrounded by single family neighborhoods. The Westgate commercial area is to the northeast of the site (Attachments 4 & 5). -G.,COMPREHENSIVE-PLAN.x = The recently updated Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan, adopted by City Council in February 2014 and referenced in the Comprehensive Plan, identified the development of a sports field complex at the Former Woodway High School as a "big idea" (page 3-2) and a provided a specific objective for the Parks and Open Space goal: Page 3 of 7 Former Woodway High School Play Field Improvements PLN20140065 "2.E Implement previous community process to work with the Edmonds School District to redevelop the Former Woodway High School site into a regional sports and recreation asset with adult soccer/multi-sports turf fields, providing for year-round recreation options and serving a growing community. Involve the community in design development." [Chapter 4: Action Plan, page 4-4] The Comprehensive Plan designation for this site is split between "Open Space" and "Single Family Urban 1"; as a result, the proposal is subject to the design guidance found in the Comprehensive Plan's Urban Design Element. As noted previously, the larger site will remain unchanged including the school buildings, vehicular access and parking. The following analysis relates the field upgrade project to the applicable goals and objectives for site design as identified in the Urban Design Element (pages 92-98). C.7. Design Objectives for Open Space. C. 7. a. To create green spaces to enhance the visual attributes of the development and encourage outdoor interaction. C.7.b. To provide places for residents and visitors to meet and to interact. C.7.c. To provide an area for play, seating and other residential activities. Comments: The field upgrade project supports this objective. Use of the new playfields will be scheduled by the City of Edmonds Park Department and will provide day and evening opportunities for recreation and interaction year-round. C.10. Design Objectives for Lighting. C.10.a. Provide adequate illumination in all areas used by automobiles, bicycles and pedestrians, including building entries, walkways, parking areas, circulation areas and other open spaces to ensure a feeling of security. C.10.b. Minimize potential for light to reflect or spill off-site. C.10.c. Create a sense of welcome and activity. C.10.d. Provide adequate lighting for signage panels. Comments: The proposed lighting will be directed toward the playfields and shielded to minimize spill off-site (Attachment 8, Sheets E-1.0, E-2.0 and SPL -1.0). The lighting spill plan (Sheet SPL -1.0 of Attachment 8) shows that the use of cut-off directional lights, in combination with the existing forested buffer at the site boundaries, will result in minimal light spill off of the site. C.11. Design Objectives for Signage. C.11.a. Protect the streetscape from becoming cluttered. C.11.b. Minimize distraction from the overuse of advertisement elements. C.11.c. . Provide clear signage for each distinct property. C.11.d. Use graphics/symbols to reduce the need to have large letters. Page 4 of 7 Former Woodway High School Play Field Improvements PLN20140065 C.11.e. Minimize potential for view blockage. C.11.f. Signs should be related to the circulation element serving the establishment. C.11.g. Landscaping should be used in conjunction with pole signs for safety as well as appearance. C.11.h. Where multiple businesses operate from a central location, tenants should be encouraged to coordinate signing to avoid the proliferation of signs, each competing with the others. Comments: No signage has been proposed. All signage must meet the requirements of ECDC 20.60. C.13. Design Objectives for Significant Features. C.13.a. Retain significant landscape features and unique landforms such as rock outcroppings and significant trees. C.13.b. Limit potential future negative environmental impacts such as erosion, runoff, landslides, and removal of vegetation and/or habitats. C. 13. c. Buffer incompatible uses. C. 13. d. Integrate buildings into their site by stepping the mass of the building along steep sloping sites. Comments: The existing forested buffer and steep slopes surrounding the site will not be disturbed. Typical erosion and sediment control best management practices will be required during construction. With conditions, staff feels that the proposal satisfies the referenced goals, policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. 1. ECDC 20.11 General Design Review ECDC 20.11.030 lists the criteria for Site Treatment that must be met. A. ECDC 20.11.030.8. Site Treatment. The existing character of the site and the nearby area should be the starting point for the design of the building and all site treatment. The following are elements of site treatment: 1. Grading, vegetation removal and other changes to the site shall be minimized where natural beauty exists. Large cut and fill and impervious surfaces should be avoided. Comments: The existing athletic fields were cleared and graded level when Woodway High School was originally developed. As a result, minimal additional grading will be required with this project and the forested buffer will remain (Attachment 3, Sheets F-1.2 & F-1.3). Page 5 of 7 Former Woodway High School Play Field Improvements PLN20140065 2. Landscape treatment shall be provided to enhance the building design and other site improvements. Comments: The existing expanse of turf grass will be replaced with artificial turf, pervious and impervious paths, as well as turf grass in some locations (Attachment 3, Sheet F-1.1). 3. Landscape treatment shall be provided to buffer the development from surrounding property where conflict may result, such as parking facilities near yard spaces, streets or residential units, and different building heights, design or color. Comments: No change to the forested buffer is proposed. A row of trees is proposed along the entrance drive adjacent to the fields (Attachment 9). The species and the size of the trees were not identified. 4. Landscaping that could be damaged by pedestrians or vehicles should be protected by curbing or similar devices. Comments: The proposed trees between the entry drive and the updated fields will be protected by curbing. 5. Service yards, and other areas where trash or litter may accumulate, shall be screened with planting or fences or walls which are compatible with natural materials. Comments: No service yards are proposed. 6. All screening should be effective in the winter as well as the summer. Comments: The existing forested buffer around the site contains a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs that provide year-round screening and interest. 7. Materials such as wood, brick, stone and gravel (as opposed to asphalt or concrete) may be substituted for planting in areas unsuitable for plant growth. Comments: No such areas are proposed. 8. Exterior lighting shall be the minimum necessary for safety and security. Excessive brightness shall be avoided. All lighting shall be low-rise and directed downward onto the site. Lighting standards and patterns shall be compatible with the overall design theme. Comments: The proposed light locations and patterns are compatible with the redesign of the athletic fields and light spill is kept to a minimum as a result (Attachment 8, Sheets E-1.0 & SPL -1.0). Staff feels the proposal is consistent with design criteria contained within ECDC 20.11.030.B. 2. ECDC 20.13 Landscaping Requirements ECDC 20.13 contains specific landscaping requirements for new developments, which the ADB may alter in accordance with the design review chapter. Because this project involves Page 6 of 7 Former Woodway High School Play Field Improvements PLN20140065 redevelopment of existing grass playfields into artificial turf fields, few landscaping changes are proposed. The main change is the addition of a row of trees in a planting strip between the access drive and the fields (Attachment 9). The types and sizes of the trees are not shown on the plan - the ADB could recommend a tree species or could leave it to the applicant to work out with staff during building permit review. Staff feels with the proposed recommendations that the proposed landscaping generally consistent with the requirements of ECDC 20.13. [IIN N:DIC Al I Al 14'019—iVKOHI Pursuant to ECDC 20.11.020, when recommending approval of proposed development applications, the ADB must find that the proposed development is consistent with the criteria listed in ECDC 20.11.030 (General Design Review), the Comprehensive Plan, and the zoning ordinance. Based on the findings, analysis, conclusions, and attachments with this report, staff recommends that the ADB RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the design for the proposed Former Woodway High School Field Improvements under file number PLN20140065 with the following motion and recommended conditions of approval: THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BOARD ADOPTS THE FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF THE STAFF REPORT AND FINDS THE PROPOSAL IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, POLICIES OF ECDC 20.10.000, DESIGN CRITERIA OF ECDC 20.11.030, AND ZONING REGULATIONS AND RECOMMENDS THAT THE HEARING EXAMINER APPROVE THE DESIGN OF THE PROPOSED FORMER WOODWAY HIGH SCHOOL FIELD IMPROVEMENTS WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1.

ATTACHMENT 13 Phase 1 - FWHS Field Improvements Edmonds School District No. 15 Forl..cr Woodway High School Multipurpose Sp-.,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 1 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 future 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.

ATTACHMENT 14 Phase 1 - FWHS Field Improvements SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST UPDATED 2014 Purpose of checklist: Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal. Instructions for applicants: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use "not applicable" or "does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-making process. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. Instructions for Lead Agencies: Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROIECTACTIONS (part D). Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead agency may exclude (for non - projects) questions in Part B - Environmental Elements —that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal. i'10 /icy' MAR 0 2 2015 DEVELOPMENT SERVICES COUNTER SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) January 2015 Page 1 of 15 A.

Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. (Lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on project description.) Exhibit B is a comprehensive Project Design Narrative. In summary, the project seeks to construct a multi-purpose athletic field complex. For Phase 1 of the project, there will be one large multipurpose synthetic turf athletic field with subsurface drainage to replace an existing natural turf multi-purpose field accommodating 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 or 2 full little league baseball / softball fields with associated backstops, dugouts, ball control fencing and netting. This project also would provide pedestrian improvements including a combination of pervious concrete paving, conventional concrete paving and portable bleacher seating. A pedestrian walking path will be constructed around the field with accommodation for connection in future phases. Depending upon funding, a community garden area may be developed, including wood chip pathways and raised garden bed areas and depending upon funding availability, field lighting related to Phase 1 improvements. To minimize potential future disturbance, the conduit and foundation system for future lighting associated with the Phase 1 field will be installed. The total anticipated site disturbance for Phase 1 is approximately 298,000 SF, or approximately 6.84 acres. 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 future 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 unless previously completed in Phase 1 or 2. The overall site area, including all phases of work is approximately 468,800 SF, or approximately 10.76 acres. This SEPA Environmental Checklist considers impacts for all three phases. 12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township, and range, if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available.

SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) January 2015 Page 3 of 15 B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS 1. Earth a. General description of the site (circle one): at rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other The site is currently a natural grass baseball/softball field and soccer field, with adjacent cinder running track and natural grass football/soccer field. b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)? - -- - The developed portions of the project area are generally flat with interior transitional surface slopes. Within the project limits, there are limited areas that have slopes of 3 horizontal to 1 vertical (33%). Beyond the project limits in forested/vegetated areas to the west and south, slopes range up to 2 horizontal to 1 vertical (50%), typically sloping away from the project area. These forested areas are outside the project limits and will not be disturbed as part of the proposed improvements. c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any agricultural land of long-term commercial significance and whether the proposal results in removing any of these soils. Based upon the Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey, the underlying soils within the project area are classified as Urban Land (fill). A Geotechnical Engineering Report has been prepared for this project by Associated Earth Sciences Inc., dated June 4, 2014. The subsurface soils observed with the exploration borings were consistent with the NRC Web Soil Survey, which found existing fill ranging in depths from 4 to 11 feet below the existing ground surface elevation. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. None observed. e. Describe the purpose, type, total area, and approximate quantities and total affected area of any filling, excavation, and grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. The proposal includes offsite disposal of existing natural grass sod and unsuitable soils; onsite cut and fill of existing suitable soils, and import of structural fill, aggregate materials, and imported sand and aggregate materials as required for the field construction. The following values are approximate at the time of writing: Phase 1 Improvement Excavation & offsite disposal of oraanics and unsuitable soils: Approx. 1700 cubic yards Earthwork with onsite cut and fill of suitable soils: Approx. 5300 cubic yards of cut being placed as fill Import of fill and aggregate base materials: Approx. 10,300 cubic yards Phase 2 & 3 Improvements Excavation & offsite disposal of organics and unsuitable soils: SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) January 2015 Page 4 of 15 Approx. 1700 cubic yards Earthwork with onsite cut and fill of suitable soils: Approx. 5300 cubic yards of cut being placed as fill Import of fill and aggregate base materials: Approx. 10,300 cubic yards f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. Localized surface erosion may occur as a result of clearing and grading operations, however due to the flat slopes on site and the location of the limit of site disturbance proposed this is expected to be minor as the project site is composed primarily of slopes under 2%. Minor localized erosion may occur as a result of construction activities, however will not extend outside the project limits. Use of on-site erosion control measures including silt fences, construction entrances, catch basin protection, interceptor swales, and other standard construction erosion control practices and Best Management Practices, and seasonal limitations of construction will control potential on-site erosion. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? The project proposes the synthetic turf surface field area and surrounding track surfacing to be vertically draining (technically pervious), which have not been included in determining impervious surface coverage for the project area. The proposed hardscape surfaces for Phase 1 includes the concrete walkways/plaza areas to the north and east sides of the field area totaling 22,651 square feet. A portion of the pedestrian areas will be developed with pervious concrete paving. Within the disturbance area, the proposed hardscape surfacing equates to approximately 10.3% coverage after Phase 1 of the project construction. Phases 2 and 3 of the project will be nearly identical to Phase 1 in terms of the use of synthetic turf and rubberized surfacing and proposed hardscape surfaces. Future phases are anticipated to add approximately 11,100 sf of hardscape/impervious surfacing including a concessions building (Phase 3). The combined hardscape equates to approximately 4% coverage after these Phases are completed but the exact extent will not be known until those phases are designed. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: To the extent possible the disturbed area of the project site will be limited to minimize erosion potential. To reduce erosion, some or all of the following vegetative cover practices may be implemented as site conditions dictate: seeding, mulching and matting, and/or clear plastic covering. Structural practices to control erosion include a stabilized construction entrance, filter fabric fence for perimeter siltation control, temporary interceptor trenches, check dams and a sediment settling tank. All catch basins in the vicinity of the work will have erosion protection throughout the construction period. All work will be performed in compliance with local and state code and permitting requirements. 2. Air a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal during construction, operation, and maintenance when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. Emissions to the air would result from the movement of earth, and exhaust from construction equipment. There will be a minor increase of vehicles to the site during the construction work week. SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) January 2015 Page 5 of 15 No additional emissions than currently exist on the site would result following completion of construction. b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. None c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: All work will be performed in compliance with local and state code and permitting requirements. The use of watering trucks will be employed during construction to keep dust to a minimum. Construction equipment will be kept in good operating condition to minimize exhaust. 3. Water a. Surface Water: 1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into. There are no surface water bodies within the project area. Deer Creek is located approximately 0.5 miles to the northwest of the project area. Deer Creek flows west and eventually discharges to Puget Sound. 2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans. No. 3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material. Not Applicable. 4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. Not Applicable. 5) Does the proposal lie within a 100 -year floodplain? If so, note location on the site plan. No. 6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge. No. b. Ground Water: 1) Will groundwater be withdrawn from a well for drinking water or other purposes? If so, give a general description of the well, proposed uses and approximate quantities withdrawn from the well. Will water be discharged to groundwater? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) January 2015 Page 6 of 15 Ground water will not be permanently withdrawn as part of this project; it is possible that a limited amount of ground water will be removed on a temporary basis during construction if perched groundwater is encountered in utility trenching. In the finished condition, the stormwater within the vertically draining field section will be collected via a subsurface drainage system and routed into the existing storm water collection system on site. Before it reaches the subsurface drainage system, as the water is moving through the base crushed rock and sand materials, some water could enter the ground water system via infiltration. It is expected that stormwater infiltration into the subgrade will be relatively limited; however the quantity of infiltration is not known. 2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the following chemicals... ; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve. No waste materials will be discharged into the ground due to this project. Not Applicable. c. Water runoff (including stormwater): 1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe. The primary source of storm water runoff will be rainfall. Rainfall landing upon the pervious field surface will percolate vertically through the engineered permeable aggregate base profile. Stormwater will be collected in a subsurface drainage system and routed via underground piping through an engineered flow control device. The discharge from the flow control device will connect to the existing storm drainage system for the school campus. 2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. It is not anticipated that waste materials would enter surface or ground waters. None of the proposed impervious surfaces will be subject to pollutant generators. No fertilizers will be used on the synthetic turf field. The field drainage section has a permeable aggregate layer below the synthetic turf. Runoff from the field will infiltrate through this aggregate layer prior to collection in the subsurface drainage system. 2) Does the proposal alter or otherwise affect drainage patterns in the vicinity of the site? If so, describe. All drainage improvements will be limited to within the property limits. There will be no affect to drainage patterns in the vicinity of the site or offsite. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water, and drainage pattern impacts, if any: To ensure that peak flow rates from the effective impervious surfaces are comparable or less than predeveloped/historical peak flow rates from the site, flow control will be added at the stormwater discharge point from the field area. The flow control will take advantage of the available storage within the permeable aggregate base in the field, as well as the subsurface drainage lateral trenches and central collector drain line. It is anticipated that with the proposed flow control structure in place, for most rain events there will be a reduction in runoff rates from the project area as a result of this project. In addition to the flow control structure, the field section that includes imported crushed aggregate will help attenuate the discharge and provide natural storage within the field base material. This is expected to result in a reduction in peak runoff rates from the project area. Due to the SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) January 2016 Page 7 of 15 relatively flat gradients, the travel velocities as water percolates laterally through the base gravel are slow and the void spaces, in effect, function as temporary storage — the void spaces in the imported aggregate become saturated during storm events between the subsurface drainage trenches. 4. Plants a. Check the types of vegetation found on the site: Note: Within the project site proposed limit of disturbance, all vegetation is either maintained grass, or herbaceous perennial and annual weeds. Other vegetation "Checked" is found immediately adjacent but outside of the limit of disturbance. V deciduous tree:. alder, maple, aspen, other V evergreen tree: fir, cedar, pine, other V shrubs V grass pasture crop or grain Orchards, vineyards or other permanent crops. wet soil plants: cattail, buttercup, bullrush, skunk cabbage, other water plants: water lily, eelgrass, milfoil, other other types of vegetation b. What kind and amount of vegetation will be removed or altered? Removal is limited to the existing maintained grass surface totaling approximately 192,000 sf in Phase 1. An existing 18" caliper Douglas fir tree will also be removed. Phases 2 and 3 will include the removal of existing maintained grass surface totaling approximately 174,190 sf. c. List threatened and endangered species known to be on or near the site. None known or observed. d. Proposed landscaping, use of native plants, or other measures to preserve or enhance vegetation on the site, if any: None. e. List all noxious weeds and invasive species known to be on or near the site. None known. S. Animals a. List any birds and other animals which have been observed on or near the site or are known to be on or near the site. Examples include: birds: hawk, heron, eagle, songbirds, other: mammals: deer, bear, elk, beaver, other: Squirrels fish: bass, salmon, trout, herring, shellfish, other_ b. List any threatened and endangered species known to be on or near the site. None known or observed. SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) January 2015 Page 8 of 15 c. Is the site part of a migration route? If so, explain. No. d. Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife, if any: None. e. List any invasive animal species known to be on or near the site. None known. 6. Energy and natural resources a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar) will be used to meet the completed project's energy needs? Describe whether it will be used for heating, manufacturing, etc. There are no energy uses anticipated within Phase 1 or Phase 2 Improvements. Energy uses required for field lighting may become part of Phase 1 improvements depending upon funding availability. The completed project including Phase 3 improvements anticipates electric power needs for future field lighting, the restroom and concession building, occasional power requirements from exterior mounted duplex outlets. b. Would your project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties? If so, generally describe. No. c. What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of this proposal? List other proposed measures to reduce or control energy impacts, if any: Projects of this nature (replacing grass athletic surfaces with artificial) are generally understood to produce a measureable reduction in the use of gasoline or diesel powered maintenance equipment, water, and chemical additives in the form of pesticides and herbicides. Regardless of when field lighting improvements are installed, whether in Phase 1 or in future Phase 3, floodlights with dimming capabilities will be used to reduce electrical energy use. Fully programmable lighting controls will be used to limit energy use by ensuring the lights are turned off when the field is not in use. The project does not propose to quantify these savings for any particular purpose. 7. Environmental health a. Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to toxic chemicals, risk of fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste, that could occur as a result of this proposal? If so, describe. None. 1) Describe any known or possible contamination at the site from present or past uses. There is no known contamination at the site from present or past uses. 2) Describe existing hazardous chemicals/conditions that might affect project development and design. This includes underground hazardous liquid and gas transmission pipelines located within the project area and in the vicinity. SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) January 2015 Page 9 of 15 There are no known existing hazardous chemicals or conditions that could affect the project development. 3) Describe any toxic or hazardous chemicals that might be stored, used, or produced during the project's development or construction, or at any time during the operating life of the project. Fuel and other cleaning solvents necessary to maintain equipment and facilitate the construction will be used during the course of construction. There will be no known contaminates stored on site or used during the operating life of the project. 4) Describe special emergency services that might be required. Police, fire, and ambulance, as they currently serve the site. 5) Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health hazards, if any: Proposed measures will include compliance with all applicable code provisions including handling and storage of fuels and potentially hazardous material during construction. b. Noise 1) What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your project (for example: traffic, equipment, operation, other)? Existing noise includes traffic and user noise generated through use of the school site. Use will remain as currently exists on the site, with outdoor recreational activities. 2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project on a short-term or a long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)? Indicate what hours noise would come from the site. There would be short-term noise impacts from construction activities such as clearing, grading and other field construction actions. Initially, noise would be created by heavy equipment such as backhoes, graders and trucks. Once the base is in place, noise would be created primarily from pneumatic power tools, saws, hand tools and occasional trucks delivering building materials. In the long term, noise levels would be consistent with existing levels. There may be a level of noise such as cheering associated with each of the fields during active use; however that is the current existing use. There is no PA system or amplified music or noise systems associated with this project. (Noise associated with maintenance activities such as mowing equipment is significantly reduced as the synthetic turf maintenance requirements represent a significant reduction from that associated with natural turf. 3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any: Construction hours will be limited to times posted by the City of Edmonds. Once complete, the District will limit the use of the field to comply with local noise ordinance. The field will continue to be used only consistent with existing uses. Scheduling and maintenance of the field will be completed by City of Edmonds, Department of Parks and Recreation staff. SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) January 2015 Page 10 of 15 8. Land and shoreline use What is the current use of the site and adjacent properties? Will the proposal affect current land uses on nearby or adjacent properties? If so, describe. The project area is on an existing school site previously utilized as a high school, however currently hosts a variety of District programs, as well as operations and administration of Edmonds Heights and Scriber Lake High School. Current use of the specific project area includes recreational uses including track and field, baseball, softball, football and soccer. Residential development surrounds the site. The project specific area surrounded by the school site (School building and additional fields to the North and East and Residential surrounding the entire school property). b. Has the project site been used as working farmlands or working forest lands? If so, describe. How much agricultural or forest land of long-term commercial significance will be converted to other uses as a result of the proposal, if any? If resource lands have not been designated, how many acres in farmland or forest land tax status will be converted to nonfarm or nonforest use? Not known. 1) Will the proposal affect or be affected by surrounding working farm or forest land during normal business operations, such as oversize equipment access, the application of pesticides, tilling, and harvesting? If so, how: No. c. Describe any structures on the site. The site includes a school building that is approximately 148,484 sf. d. Will any structures be demolished? If so, what? Chain link fencing, backstops and dugouts will be removed at the existing baseball/softball field. No buildings will be demolished. e. What is the current zoning classification of the site? The Eastern two-thirds of the overall project.site is designated Single Family Residential (RS - 8). The Western one-third of the site is designated Open Space (OS). Within the area of the Phase 1 Improvements, there is approximately 24,000 SF within the RS -8 zone and 264,000 SF in the Open Space zone. In Phases 2 and 3, there is approximately 170,800 SF within the Open Space Zone, and the same 24,000 SF within the RS -8 Zone that will be disturbed. f. What is the current comprehensive plan designation of the site? The Eastern two-thirds of the project site is designated Single Family — Urban 1. Western one- third is designated Open Space. Entire site is within the "Old Edmonds Woodway High" overlay area. g. If applicable, what is the current shoreline master program designation of the site? Not Applicable. Has any part of the site been classified as a critical area by the city or county? If so, specify. There are critical areas present including erosion and landslide areas around the perimeter of the site. Proposed site improvements maintain essentially existing grades at the forested edges of the project areas. SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) January 2015 Page 11 of 15 The perimeter forested buffer areas on the school grounds are also identified as a Fish & Wildlife Habitat Conservation Area. No portions of the existing forested areas are disturbed as part of the proposed improvements. There is one isolated tree to be removed as part of the development, and that is central to the site improvements area. L Approximately how many people would reside or work in the completed project? The school currently accommodates approximately 835 Students and approximately 102 Classroom Teachers & Staff in 2013. j. Approximately how many people would the completed project displace? None. k. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce displacement impacts, if any: Not Applicable. L. Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with existing and projected land uses and plans, if any: The land use will remain unchanged. The site is currently used as a public school. The project consists of the renovation of an existing athletic facility. m. Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with nearby agricultural and forest lands of long-term commercial significance, if any: Not applicable. 9. Housing a. Approximately how many units would be provided, if any? Indicate whether high, mid- dle, or low-income housing. None. b. Approximately how many units, if any, would be eliminated? Indicate whether high, middle, or low-income housing. None. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control housing impacts, if any: None. 10. Aesthetics a. What is the tallest height of any proposed structure(s), not including antennas; what is the principal exterior building material(s) proposed? Within Phase 1 Improvements, the back stop and ball control netting will be 30' in height. Either within Phase 1 or in future Phase 3, field light standards will range from 60 to 90 ft. in height. b. What views in the immediate vicinity would be altered or obstructed? Existing views from the surrounding properties will not be altered or obstructed by the proposed sports field complex. The site perimeter is densely vegetated with mature evergreen trees to the south, west and north. The developed site is west of the existing school buildings. SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) January 2015 Page 12 of 15 Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any: None anticipated. The site development will be heavily screened by existing forested vegetation, and the site improvements are minimally visible from any adjacent property. 11. Light and glare a. What type of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of day would it mainly occur? Depending upon funding availability, field lighting improvements may be included in Phase 1 or Phase 3. There are no lighting improvements planned in Phase 2. Lights will be used after sunsetuntil-approximately 10:00 PM,- or earlierestablished-in cooperation with the City of Edmonds. The lighting provided will consist of cutoff style floodlights utilizing Metal Halide or Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps which will be mounted on poles surrounding the fields. The lights will be aimed to the playing field that it is intended to illuminate. The type of light that will be produced consists of direct glare, reflected glare, light trespass and sky glow. b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard or interfere with views? No. c. What existing off-site sources of light or glare may affect your proposal? None. Proposed measures to reduce or control light and glare impacts, if any: Regardless of whether installed in Phase 1 or in Phase 3, the new athletic field lighting system will utilize floodlights with the best available technology in shielding and reflector design to reduce the lighting impacts off of the field and into the night sky. External visors, internal devices and high efficiency reflectors will be utilized to minimize lighting impacts. Electrical equipment that allows for reduced wattage operation of the floodlights will be incorporated to minimize the amount of lighting initially needed to light the fields. 12. Recreation a. What designated and informal recreational opportunities are in the immediate vicinity? The project site is within an existing school site. The project site includes an existing baseball/softball and soccer field, with adjacent running track and football/soccer field. b. Would the proposed project displace any existing recreational uses? If so, describe. A minor disruption to existing owner controlled recreational uses will occur during Phase 1 during Spring/Summer 2015. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts on recreation, including recreation opportunities to be provided by the project or applicant, if any: The project is entirely educational (physical education) and recreational in nature, and improves an existing educational and recreational resource. The project will expand the use of the fields through improved wet -weather reliability, providing expanded teaching opportunities for educational use, opportunities for practice and competition by organized interscholastic and youth recreational users, as well as the general public.

Hogan & Associates 119 1st Ave. S, Suite 110 Seattle, WA 98104 Subject: Letter of complete application —Variance for light pole height in OS zone at former Woodway High School (File: PLN20150013) Dear Mr. Harding, The City of Edmonds has reviewed the March 6, 2015 submittal for a variance for the -height of light poles in the Open Space (OS) zone at the former Woodway High School at 23200 1001h Ave. S. The height of these light poles was originally to be reviewed by the Hearing Examiner through a conditional use permit (PLN20150008) in a consolidated review but that permit was withdrawn when it was realized the height of the poles in question were taller than what the code allowed through a conditional use permit. Pursuant to Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) Section 20.02.002, the application has been determined to meet the procedural submission requirements and therefore is complete; please accept this letter as the City's completeness notice in accordance with ECDC 20.02.003. While the application is technically complete, the City may request additional information during review of the project with which to make a decision. The City will proceed with the public notice portion of the project as required by Chapter 20.03 of the ECDC. If you have any questions, please let me know either at 425-771-0220 or michael.clugston@edmondswa.gov. Sincerely, Mike Clugston, AICP Associate Planner Cc: Matt Finch, Edmonds School District ATTACHMENT 15 Phase 1 - FWHS Field Improvements '12C. 189 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Edmonds School District, in cooperation with Verdant Healthcare and the City of Edmonds, is proposing a phased -project to upgrade the existing sports fields at the former Woodway High School. This phase involves installing two new illuminated synthetic turf multiuse fields along with associated catch, fencing, backstops and dugouts. The School District requests a variance from the maximum allowed height for structures in the Open Space zone for light poles associated with the field upgrade project. These light poles were originally to be reviewed by the Hearing Examiner through a conditional use permit (PLN20150008) but that permit was withdrawn when staff realized the height of the poles in question were taller than what the code allowed through a conditional use permit. The proposed poles will range from 70' to 90' in height. PROJECT LOCATION: 23200100 th Avenue West (Tax ID #: 27033600202200) NAME OF APPLICANT: Edmonds School District (rep. D.A. Hogan & Assoc.)

This phase involves installing two new illuminated synthetic turf multiuse fields along with associated catch fencing, backstops and dugouts. The project site is split -zoned between Open Space (OS) and Single -Family Residential (RS -8). This consolidated project first required a design review recommendation by the Architectural Design Board. The ADB recommended approval of the design of the project, with conditions, on March 4, 2015. It should be noted that the original conditional use permit for light pole height in the OS zone (PLN20150008) was then withdrawn by the School District when staff realized the height of the proposed poles in question was taller than what the code allowed through a conditional use permit. The School District subsequently applied for a variance for light pole height in the OS zone (PLN20150013). The design of the project and lights has not changed from what was recommended for approval by the Architectural Design Board, only the type of permit that the Hearing Examiner reviews. The final decision on the project's design as well as the conditional use permit and variances for the height of the back stops, fencing and light poles are made by the Hearing Examiner.

This phase Involves installing two new Illuminated synthetic turf multiuse fields along with associated catch fencing, backstops and dugouts. The project site is split -zoned between Open Space (OS) and Single - amity Residential (RS -8). This consolidated project first required a design review recommendation by the Architectural Design Board. The ADB recommended approval of the design of the project, with conditions, on March 4, 2015. It should be noted that the original conditional use permit for 11 ht pole height In the OS zone (PLN20150008) was then withdrawn by the School District when staff realized the height of the proposed poles in question was taller than what the code allowed through a conditional use permit. The School District subsequentlyy applied for a variance for light pole height In the OS zone (PLN20150013). The design of the project and lights has not changed from what was recommended for approval by the Architectural Design Board, only the type of permit that the Hearing Examiner reviews. The final decision on the project's design as well as the conditional use permit and variances for the height of the back stops, fencing and light poles are made by the Hearing Examiner.

The Project is to update the existing athletic - fields at the former high school site and convert the existing softball field into a synthetic turf multipurpose field. Following construction, the field will be maintained and scheduled by the City of Edmonds Parks Department. These permit applications were consolidated for review under Edmonds Community Development Code (``ECDC") 20.01.002. Pursuant to ECDC 17.00.030, the Hearing Examiner has authority to review and provide a recommendation to the Edmonds City Council regarding this application for a variance for a public structure and use. According to ECDC 20,01.002(C), the Edmonds City Council shall hear the permits collectively. The Project continues to satisfy the current zoning for the property as a Permitted Primary Use in the Open Space zone (majority of the site) and, for the 24,600 square foot portion at the southeast corner of the site, the RS -8 Zone. Two proposed design elements, however, require variance from the Code. These are: OUR MISSION- ATTACHMENT 16 To ADVOCATE for all students by PROVIDING a learning environment which E 4IPOWPi1aS@ 1 - FWHS Field II1lpfOV@Cll@IItS personal; creative and, academic potential in order to BECOME Iifelon Backstop/Fencing5. ' Height Variance ECDC 16.20.030, 16.65.010 and 16.80.030 set a maximum height of 25 feet in the Open Space and RS -8 zones. The variance would provide a 5 -foot variance to height for the backstop/fencing structures, which are designed at 30 feet for safety and effectiveness. 2. Light Pole Height. The height of light poles at the site will range from 60 feet to 90 feet. Given the height of these structures, the playfield lighting requires a conditional use permit, variance and architectural design review (ECDC 16.65.010 and 16.80.010(C)). The criteria for approving such a CUP and variance are set forth in ECDC 16.65.010, 16.80.020 and 20.05.010. The Project is a. partnership between the School District, the City of Edmonds and Verdant Health Commission. It has been in development for many years but just recently received full funding. The School District has been seeking public comment on the Project this month in response to concerns that were recently raised by community members. These comments have focused on issues regarding the proposed synthetic turf materials,and questions about whether those materials present environmental and/or health hazards. These topics regarding the choice of turf material fall outside the scope of the issues presented in and the criteria for approval of the Application. The School District can replace the existing turf material for the existing fields without any conditional use permit or variance. The School District, in connection with the larger project and its role as lead agency under the State Environmental Policy Act, Chapter 43.210 RCW ("SEPA") for its project (WAC 197-11-926), is in the process of holding public meetings to accept information regarding these issues. Public meetings are being held this afternoon at the Former Woodway High School library and tomorrow evening (March 18t') at the Former Woodway High School gymnasium. The School District will evaluate these matters and determine if there is substantial evidence of probable, significant, adverse environmental impacts that were not previously addressed in the SEPA Checklist, SEPA analysis, or threshold determination for the Project. Again, although these turf material issues are outside the scope of the Application, the School District wants to inform the City of the concerns and the School. District's review processes. The School District will provide an update of any further action it takes pursuant to SEPA. If you have questions regarding these issues, please contact Stewart Mhyre at (425) 431-7015.

Unfortunately there is not a "standard" or minimum height for backstop improvements. The current maximum 25' height of structures within the land use zone is not ideal to protect the adjacent public and pedestrian areas from impacts of batted, foul and thrown balls. At the recreation level of play anticipated, including all age groups, a typical backstop will range from 30'-40' above adjacent finish grade and we have included this height for most backstops on recreational fields in other communities including fields in Redmond, Sammamish, Shoreline, Seattle, Bellevue and Issaquah. For this project, and due to the adjacency of school buildings as well as walkways associated with school activities as well as recreational activities, we are recommending 30' ht. A 25' ht. backstop will "catch" fewer errant balls and there will be a resultant an increase of foul or batted balls; overthrown balls; and errant kicks entering the public circulation and spectator areas. Often the public areas have pedestrians that are not focused on activities on the field, therefore unaware of the potential for balls (soccer, lacrosse, softball, and baseballs) entering a shared space. This incremental increase to 30' ht. will not materially impact the visual image of the facility, and will add needed protection to the public. By way of comparison, the City of Sammamish has a shared facility for multi-purpose fields at Eastlake High School. The current 8' perimeter fence adjacent to a grandstand/bleacher area has proven to be inadequate, and the city will be increasing the height of that fence and netting system up to 30' ht. to protect adjacent users, and to keep balls out of other facilities.

I can imagine it's a great deal of effort and I appreciate your hard work. I support the project but write with a few concerns and suggestions. First, I was told (perhaps incorrectly?) that the new field turf would utilize the rubber scraps that have recently been shown to contain carcinogenic chemicals. I understand that several other cities have substituted a slightly more expensive (but safer) rubber material in their new fields since these studies have come out. I think all children playing on the field deserve the safest possible rubber material. Secondly, even though I don't live near the field, I am opposed to lighting it at night. While outdoor recreational activity is always positive, it never seems to be quite as safe at night, and I can certainly sympathize with the neighbors who don't want nighttime activity and light pollution to be an everyday occurrence. Additionally, the light posts themselves on soccer fields pose hazards; many kids crash into them and get injured, even though no one thinks about that possibility when they are constructed. They also inhibit certain sports and activities by getting in the way of balls or participants, or even some activities like radio control plane flying and model rocket shooting (both activities are very common on that field right now and would be substantially diminished). In fact, a new group has just been established, the Edmonds RC Flyers, who would likely prefer to keep the field exactly the way it is right now. But we also understand that improvements are generally good for everybody — we just want to minimize unintended negative consequences. Finally, I believe that I read that the project will proceed in 3 stages, with the first part being work on the southern portion of the field. If that is correct, you could have a tremendously positive impact on the community if you could keep the northern half of the field open for use while construction proceeds on the south this spring and summer. Already, my son's flag football team has been forced to move away from this field to a greatly inferior location due to imminent construction. If you could find a way to keep the northern part of the field open this spring and summer while the south is worked on, that would be an awesome boon to the citizens of our community.

As a longtime resident of Edmonds (I attended EWHS on the Woodway campus) and mother of a child in the District, I am keenly aware of the need this community has for these fields.

Cadence Clyborne Edmonds Resident Clugston, Michael From: Sent: To: Subject: To whom it may concern, Tim Crosby <timcrosby@comcast.net> Wednesday, March 18, 2015 9:02 AM CPOinfo Old Edmonds Woodway Turf Fields I am an Edmonds resident and homeowner since 1991. My wife and I chose this lovely community to raise our kids and put them through the public school system from K to 12. My oldest daughter is now a freshmen in college and received an academic scholarship (thank you, ESD!), and my youngest is a sophomore at Meadowdale. I volunteered at school when work allowed, and volunteered as a coach for two soccer teams connected to Sno-King Youth Club and FC Edmonds. I also served a short stint on the Edmonds Economic Development Commission, a volunteer body of dedicated citizens working to improve the economic opportunities for Edmonds. I love this community I call home, and am excited to see more people spending time downtown. The part of Edmonds that has always bothered my was the lack of development to support the health of our kids. As a coach for eleven years it was hard to bring kids on to fields that were hard dirt, uneven and pockmarked grass that caused joint injuries, and muddy in the spring due to lack of maintenance in the fall or time to rest. What made it especially hard was going to away games and playing on properly maintained grass and turf fields. About six years ago the Old Edmonds Woodway High School fields began to open up. They seemed like paradise compared to other available fields. However, in short time and due to such extreme pressure (before lacrosse), the upper field would get played on every season, and spring soccer turned them to semi-permanent mud. The lower field has great grass, but it is the drain field for the upper field (water travels downhill) and the southern end was always soggy. Then budget cuts to maintenance meant grass cutting was cut back dramatically and turned the blessing of good growing conditions in to a jungle of really long grass or big clumps of grass clippings. Both conditions dramatically impacted ability to practice and play. To provide a finer point, long grass means you have to kick the ball harder to get it to move. This proved to be a disadvantage when we would play away games on turf fields where that hard kick we had to learn in practice would send the ball careening past the target and either out of bounds or to the opponent's feet. Thanks. I pursued numerous attempts to have the city and school pay attention to these unhealthy conditions, including joining the Economic Development Commission to show how good fields can draw visitors to our town. Soccer and other sports tournaments have proven across the country to provide economic boosts to the host city. I can tell you with envy that it was hard to see Shoreline build so many turf fields, more than they actually needed for the soccer tournament they did develop. How did they get the backing to build so many fields? Because they invested in the health of their kids. Which is why I am celebrating now over the fact that the city and school, with the help of Verdant, are now seeking to invest in our kid's health. The project to turf the OEW fields is a dream come true. While my kids may not directly benefit, others will. It is exciting to see the stars align and create the opportunity to make a dream of many become reality. I wholeheartedly support this project, and am willing to volunteer more time and donate what I can to ensure it's success. I know from previous discussions that there are those who are against such efforts. I am confused why such a positive step is seen as a bad move. I know the direct neighbors may have concerns over extended noise and light pollution. When I have heard these comments I have said that lights turn off at Spm at other facilities, and noise already happens there. After all it was a high school. If I heard safety concerns due to increased traffic, I reminded them that 1) there is a dedicated light to that entrance, something missing at both Edmonds Woodway and Meadowdale High Schools, and 2) parent drivers are generally safer than teen high school drivers. In the end it seems like many concerns I heard were more from the impact on a few direct neighbors, rather than the positives for the whole community. If I heard any concerns about the environmental problems of turf, I am able to say I am a long term, and dedicated environmentalist who has worked with that non-profit sector on various boards for over 25 years; and while I see that putting plastics down where grass should be seems wrong, the cumulative net impact of turf vs grass in this wet region seems to be a wash. Thanks for investing in the future of our kid's health and finally giving our children a home field advantage. Please let me know how I can help make this happen.

As Vice -Presidents of Softball for Pacific Little League, our goal is to grow the PLL softball program and expand girls' sports participation. Our league is growing every year, and having additional turf fields available for use would benefit our 1000+ players, softball and baseball alike. The proposed turf fields would be a wonderful asset to our community, not only available for use by community sports organizations such as Pacific Little League, Sno-King and other leagues - but also a great, family friendly place for families to enjoy. We, along with the other board members and families of Pacific Little League, urge you to approve and proceed with this project.

This required us to limit our practice times and find field space in the Shoreline School District.

I am a parent of two daughters that attend Edmonds Heights, located on the campus of the former Edmonds- Woodway high school. On Friday, they became aware of the plans to re -do the fields and put in artificial turf, and our family and Edmonds friends are very concerned about this. My daughters have written letters to you (below). We are truly grateful for the proposed improvements to encourage physical health for the residents and visitors to Edmonds — please do not erase all this work by exposing everyone, including city workers, to the harmful effects of crumb rubber fields. You may already be aware that there is much controversy surrounding using artificial turf, because of the health dangers from being exposed to and playing on this type of field. You may also know that there are several lawsuits pending in California, and other states have actually halted using crumb rubber fields until more long-term tests are done. We urge you to re -consider the material used for the re -doing of the field, there are other options out there that have less adverse health effects than crumb rubber. Also, if there is a way to keep the grass field at all, that would be optimal for everyone's health and well-being. Thanks for reading and here are the letters from my girls transcribed word for word: -Deb Harrick (206) 229-2841 Dear Edmonds school district, I am a 5th grader at Edmonds Heights and I just learned that Astroturf is going to replace the grass field. I am concerned about this because it puts people and animals at risk. If you make the dirt field into astroturf, then all of the birds that come here and eat the worms will come and eat the tires (that ran on oil, dirt and garbage) and die from eating rubber. And all of the animals that eat the birds and everything in this area will die. There is a likely link that astroturf (crumb rubber fields) causes cancer, so chjldren may have higher risks to get cancer from playing soccer on this field! If you replace the healthy, good -for -the -planet grass with astroturf, then what is the point of having an Organic garden space when all the fumes from the field will be going into the plants and poison things that kids may eat? Thank you for trying to make the field better, please do it in a way that won't give kids cancer. Sincerely, Jasmine Harrick, 11 Dear Edmonds School District, I am a 4th grader at Edmonds Heights and I think it's BAD about the astroturf! The cut-up tires drove over oils and the bad stuff that is on the roads. And now the tires will get put out on the field and release fumes and then people will breathe the fumes. And all the birds that think the crumbs look like worms and will die from eating rubber and all the gross stuff in the tire bits. Also, the gross tire bits might cause Leukemia, which is very bad! So PLEASE do not put the astroturf on the field. And what is the point of having an organic garden if the fumes from the field go into the garden? I really hope that you stop the astroturf and stop putting kids and nature in danger.

It will be an excellent asset to the community, give us a first class facility to be proud of, and provide some much needed fields to the area. As a father of two boys - ages 10 and 12- who each play multiple sports, I know first hand how few quality fields there are in the area. Ever since hearing about the project my family has been very excited about the possibly of playing on fields of this high quality right here in our own "back yard". We typically have needed to commute over a half hour each way to their soccer practices so that their team can play on field turf and not muddy sod. The entire team is excited about the prospects of playing these new fields. I also have been coaching in the Edmonds School District for over 20 years, so I know how heavily the current high schools fields are being used. This facility would allow some of the teams that double, triple and even quadruple book the fields to spread out. At Lynnwood and Meadowdale there sometimes are youth soccer leagues practicing without goals because there are two/three teams sharing each field. Finally, as a teacher, I want to see the district facilities benefitting the community as much as possible. I feel like the Edmonds Heights property could be so much better utilized. In looked at the drawings I thrilled to see the plan moving forward and really becoming a gathering spot for many years to come Sincerely- Tod Harris, Teacher/Coach Edmonds School District Sent from my Pad Clugston, Michael From: Linda Hoverson <linda.hoverson@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2015 3:02 PM To: finchm@edmonds.wednet.edu; Clugston, Michael Subject: Edmonds Woodway Playfield Project I am a resident of the 102nd Place West neighborhood and live adjacent to the northeast corner of the playfield. I have a couple of concerns that I would like you to consider before finalizing this project. 1) The parking is very limited at this location. If the field is to be used by select sports teams as well as adult teams, as originally stated in the planning meetings years ago, there won't be sufficient parking for even two fields, let alone all four. We have seen events at the school where parking spills out of the parking lot onto the school road and also on the north side of the gate that cuts off 102nd Place West from the school property. I fear that the remedy to this situation will be to eliminate the gate and this will GREATLY impact our street. We lived here before the gate was installed and the traffic from the school became dangerous. Students used the street as a 1/4 mile racetrack hitting speeds of 50+ by the time they reached the top of the hill that drops down onto Highway 104. I believe that was the reason why the gate was installed in the first place. Our street would become an overflow parking lot with cars lining both sides of the street. Add to that the increased traffic of people accessing and leaving the playfields and we have a potential traffic nightmare. 2) I am also concerned about the drainage plan. I'm not confident that the existing drainage plan is all that good considering the constant sogginess in the northeast corner of the grassy field area. I know that the Architectural Design Board passed the plan that will tie in the new drainage piping to the existing system. While I don't think it will make the sogginess worse, I can't see this improving it either. I appreciate your taking the time to read my concerns and hope you will seriously consider them before forging ahead with this playfield project. Linda Hoverson 23125 102nd Place West Edmonds, WA 98020 linda.hoverson@gmail.com COMMENTS ON FORMER WOODWAY HIGH ATHLETIC FIELD IMPROVEMENTS General Comments: Equipment Storage Capacity: Confirm that the proposed field house has sufficient storage space for all field equipment including, but not limited to, soccer nets, lacrosse nets, field hockey nets, baseball bases, pitcher mounds,l and outfield fencing. Seating Capacity: My initial impression was that the seating capacity may not be sufficient if the District expects that the fields will eventually host regional `playoffs' (e.g., District 1 Little League tournaments, HS District or State playoffs, etc.). My opinion is that any additional seating should not be added now, but that the general layout and configuration should be designed to accommodate additional seating (temporary or permanent) in the future. Scoreboards/Scorer booths: I did not see any scoreboards referenced in the plan. If scoreboards are planned, then scorer booths, with appropriate underground or wireless connections to the scoreboards, should be included. Health Risks of Crumb Rubber: Given the recent published reports on the health risks posed by some crumb rubber used as ballast for artificial turf fields, the District should be prepared to address those issues not only now, but also after the field improvements are made. A sign on the field house explaining what steps the District took to address health concerns might be one means of addressing the issue. Comments Regarding Use of Fields for High School Baseball: Field Orientation — Direction of Afternoon Sun: When possible, a baseball field should be orientated to avoid a batter facing the afternoon or late -afternoon sun. The principal reason is the safety of the batter, and to a lesser extent the umpire and catcher. Looking into the sun while high velocity pitches at being thrown creates a risk that the batter cannot move out of the way quickly enough to avoid a pitch that might hit the batter. So, the ideal orientation is for a batter standing at home plate to be looking generally to the northeast. The proposed layout of the north field — with the batter facing northwest — is the second best option. The proposed layout of the south field — with the batter facing southwest — is the worst possible option. Presumably the current proposed location of home plate area was adopted to provide the most convenience in accessing the field house/concession stand. While this is perfectly understandable, perhaps greater weight should be given to the pros and cons of players and coaches using the fields during play. Field Orientation — Foul Balls: The second issue that will arise with the home plates being in such close proximity to each other is that foul balls from one field will regularly land in the ' The size and dimensions of pitcher mounds for Little League and for High School baseball are different, so up to 4 mounds might have to be stored. playing area of the other field, disrupting play and creating a potential safety issue when both fields are being used simultaneously. Possible Solution: One alternative configuration is to locate the home plate of the south field in the southeast corner of the field. Granted, spectators will have to walk a bit from the field house/concessions stand to the south field bleachers, and granted, the `running track' around the south field would need some slight reconfiguration, but, in my opinion, the overall benefit to players using the south field as a baseball diamond outweigh that inconvenience. This configuration will also avoid the problems created by foul balls. Such a configuration also will ease the congestion a bit around the field house area when two games are starting or ending at about the same time. Bullpens and/or Batting Cages: I did not see any area designated for use as bullpens or batting cages. It appears some areas north of the north field, and south of the south field, might be suitable for these facilities.

Had I known that such plans were being made, I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS HOME. My biggest concern of the whole debacle is the impact to 102nd PI W, a "NO OUTLET" road. Imagine the people who will avoid the main access to Edmonds/Woodway by using "the back way"- going up the 102nd PI W hill - idling cars for drop-off and pick-up, parking "by the gate" to gain closer access to the fields ... the sudden influx of traffic would be devastating to the calm and serene street it is now.

I attended the Architectural Design Committee meeting last week. I am concerned that I did not hear the environmental impact study results for this site. Groundwater and run off can be potentially effected by the chemical and metallic vapors and dust leeching from finely shredded recycled rubber on the artificial turf fields. Our neighborhood air quality would also be at risk because of proximity and longevity to the field. Many of us have houses that are much closer to these fields than other sports fields at the High Schools. This is to say nothing of the risks that exist to the players' health concerns. There have been many studies that have linked the above concerns for exposure to toxicants from the vapors and dust as well as increased injury risk. The UW Women's Soccer Coach Amy Griffin has been in the news recently because she compiled data on the number of athletes who have developed Non Hodgkin Lymphoma. She is questioning whether there is a link to the toxic chemicals in "tire crumb" used as "in -fill" in the artificial turf fields and the dozens of cancer cases. The research I studied today makes a definite case for erring on the side of environmental and health caution. Let our city take the necessary precautions for our children and our community. Let us not just rubber stamp this because the school districts may have. Please keep us posted as to when the next meeting will be concerning this!

There is a cluster of buildings with parking lot, a dirt baseball diamond, and a few acres of grassy fields, all of which has a margin of forest around the outermost edges. For the recent many years, this small, repurposed, multi -use campus has served the needs of hundreds of people through the numerous specific programs housed on the campus, and by the grassy fields which are enjoyed by residents of the local neighborhood, weekend recreationalists, local bird watchers and more. It is a surprisingly well -used campus. When I go to the campus, it feels like a brief getaway to the country. The green grassy fields are a welcome contrast to concrete. The surrounding vista of magnificent, grand trees is beautiful to admire. The rustle of leaves in the wind is deliciously refreshing. When I walk near the trees, I see small birds leaping from branch to branch in the delightful pursuit of each other. Traffic hums in what feels like a distant place. This is an enchanting place for many. Joggers, mothers pushing baby strollers, small groups of adolescents engaged in healthy outdoor activities, are commonplace in the daytime. Dog -walkers appear in the evening. At night, stars can be seen in the sky and owls call from the trees. Ultimate Frisbee players and remote -control airplane enthusiasts frequent the campus on weekends. This peaceful, quiet place already provides multiple health benefits: emotional respite from busy lives, demanding jobs, and brief escape from the hectic city. The serenity gives a boost to the spiritual and mental health of all comers. For those who desire a brisk walk or jog, opportunities for a quiet run and cardiovascular activity are everywhere. The campus is special because it feels grand, unstructured, and loaded with natural beauty. It is a little slice of heaven, a small oasis, in our otherwise busy city. I write this letter from many perspectives: as a nearby property owner; as the mother of a child who attends school on this campus; as an environmental biologist; a board-certified family practice health professional (ARNP, RN) and as a former board-certified oncology nurse with five years' experience in caring for adults undergoing inpatient treatment for cancer. Perhaps most importantly, I write this letter because I am simply an individual who cares deeply about people, the natural world, and about the future for all of us. Proposed changes to this campus include resurfacing the existing baseball diamond and soccer - fields with AstroTurf and adding lighting to illuminate the fields. I loudly protest the planned use of AstroTurf (and any other synthetic petrochemical material) on the fields. Lesser protestations go to the future noise and light pollution, and attendant increased traffic and safety issues. Ultimately, I profoundly believe that the current and future users of this multipurpose campus, the surrounding neighborhood, the Edmonds School District and the City of Edmonds, would all be better served by a different master plan addressing other potential uses of this park- like acreage. Astroturf: All of my concerns about AstroTurf relate to human and environmental health impacts posed by the shredded rubberized material which comprises AstroTurf. Actual and potential human health impacts would involve both the users of AstroTurf playfields and their families; the employees, staff, children and families who work, attend school, or participate in other campus programs; and the residents who live in the nearby area. Furthermore, I am deeply concerned about the impact of AstroTurf on the local and migratory bird populations and other wildlife that depend on this area for shelter, nesting, food and water. 2 Astroturf is comprised of tiny pieces of shredded tires. These "crumbs" get into the socks, shoes, clothing, hair, nose, mouth and abrasions of people who play on the field: greater physical contact with the field, such as happens with soccer goal -keepers, results in higher exposure to the rubber particles. Along with soccer enthusiasts, sports and oncology medical professionals, and environmental health advocates, I am concerned by the high rates of cancer (notably lymphoma) recently identified among soccer goalies (Rappleye, H.). Although the investigation into AstroTurf as a potential human carcinogen is ongoing, I think it's imprudent and, in fact, somewhat rash, to create further exposure to any material that has been identified or flagged as a potential human carcinogen (Engle, M.; O'Donnel, L.). It would be far wiser for city and school district planners to err on the safe side: use an alternative product to resurface the sports fields such as coconut coir, cork, or just old-fashioned dirt. From a cost perspective, AstroTurf may initially appear attractive, but the human cost of cancer is far too great to even risk a single life. "The price of cancer drugs has doubled in the past decade, with the average brand-name cancer drug in the U.S. costing $10, 000 for a month's supply... according to a new report by IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics, a health information, services and technology company.... And those are just average prices; some drugs may cost as much as $30, 000 a month " (Rabin, R.) Clearly, in financial terms alone, the medical and pharmaceutical costs for a chemotherapy patient are enormous, but obviously, the cost in emotional distress and suffering to the patient and family, and to other relationships, costs in lost earnings, lost education days, and the almost innumerable additional costs, are far greater (American Cancer Society.) As a health professional, I have had about five years' experience caring for inpatients undergoing cancer treatment with chemotherapy, radiation, biological modifiers, surgery, or stem cell transplants. As a health professional, I have personally assisted hundreds of cancer patients, and their families, through the dying process. The vast majority of my patients had no identifiable cause of their cancers. Many cancer patients do not even have a single risk factor for their disease. Based on my experience, I would readily assert that many people who develop cancer are, in fact, model citizens in terms of their health choices: they eat nutritiously, live physically active lives, don't drink, don't smoke, love their families, and are good to their neighbors. One of the most common reflections made by me, and the several dozen oncology nurses with whom I worked, was "Cancer patients are the nicest people in the world. " I believed that then, and I believe that now. In regards to the disease of cancer and its treatment, I have heard hundreds of cancer patients say something along the lines of "I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. " None of us is safe from the risk of cancer. Cancer does not just happen "to other people." Exposing anyone to potential carcinogens- especially when it can be avoided- is a moral imperative. Volatile Organic Compounds: In addition to the hazard posed specifically by the shredded rubber particles, AstroTurf also emits gases known as volatile organic compounds (VOC's) such as benzene, toluene and acetone, among others. These toxic gases arise/offgas from AstroTurf, to small or large degree, all the time. These gases are well-established carcinogens. Some writers have likened AstroTurf vapors as being similar in effect to that of a small refinery, especially during summer, when use of the fields is greatest. Soccer players readily speak of "head space vapors." My four nephews and two nieces, ranging in age from high school to college, are avid soccer players: each and every one of them is very familiar with the term "head space vapors." Players and fans may only be exposed to these vapors for hours at a time, but citizens who live downwind of the playfield, and those who regularly use the campus or its grounds, will have significantly increased exposure to these toxic vapors. Many claims about the benefits of AstroTurf are controversial or untrue. The claim that AstroTurf minimizes injuries is controversial. Significant evidence supports dirt and grass as far safer for players, to minimize injury. The claim that AstroTurf does not require water is untrue: synthetic fields have to be cleaned, sanitized and cooled; each of these processes requires thousands of gallons of water. Environmental impacts of AstroTurf include the health of the soil, the health of plants grown in the soil, the health of locally exposed birds/wildlife, and probable remote effects caused by runoff or wind dispersion. Soil contaminated with shredded rubber material will, in practical terms, be polluted forever. I ask you: once these tiny particles of rubber are applied to the fields, how will they be reclaimed from the soil if proven carcinogenic? What if future users simply want to farm there, or use it for another purpose? They won't be able to remove the rubber debris from the soil. Birds feed from the tainted soil and coincidentally ingest the shredded rubber material. "...Golden Gate Audubon supported [the]resolution to halt artificial turf playf eld conversions until additional information, becomes available " http://goldengateaudubon.org/conservation/ make-the-city-safe-for-wildlife/artificial-turf-and- lighting/ For the above-mentioned reasons, several American cities have declared a moratorium on the use of AstroTurf. I strongly urge that no AstroTurf be used anywhere on this campus. Illumination of Sports fields: I strongly object to the planned installation of sports field illumination. The huge lights which illuminate sports fields in order to extend field use into the evening hours are extremely disruptive to the neighborhood. Light blaring into bedrooms and living rooms is invasive. In recognition of the unpleasant effects of light pollution, the recent trend in "dark sky" lighting 4 technology, and city and neighborhood rules regarding dark sky compliance, are intended specifically to mitigate the effects of light pollution. In terms of environmental impact, night-time sports field illumination is known to be disruptive to birds, bats, nocturnal creatures and neighboring residents. Again, (GoldenGate) Audubon Society takes the position that "Night lighting can cause birds to become confused and disoriented because birds that migrate at night navigate using the moon and stars. Night lighting will negatively impact birds that roost and nest in this part of the [proposedjpark" Noise pollution: Another concern about the proposed plan is the noise pollution from athletic fields: it is extremely unpleasant to the nearby neighborhood. I know this firsthand because I have lived about 300+ yards from Pop Keeney Stadium in Bothell WA for many years and I have come to hate the noise. The noise from the loudspeakers, umpires, referees, cheering crowds, marching bands, pep rallies, boom boxes and others is extremely unpleasant. Any sense of "peace and quiet" at home is destroyed. Even when inside my Bothell home with all the doors and windows closed, I need to be in the basement in order to obtain virtually quiet surroundings. When this noise persists all day and well into the evening of each and every day in summer, of weekends year-round, and of school days, this irksome noise becomes frankly cacophonic, grossly unpleasant, and greatly diminishes any sense of relaxation at home. When sports noise is short-term or contained to normal daylight hours, the sounds are tolerable. The sounds of healthy people doing healthy things is, actually, not so bad, in my opinion. For about seven years, I lived in a rented home along the Burke Gilman Trail in Seattle: my living room was literally about 15 feet from the trail. Human voices, whizzing bikes, the occasional dog bark- these sounds were heard almost constantly all day, but there were no loud speakers, no amplifying system. The noise wasn't so bad: at dusk and in the evening, those of us who lived along the Burke Gilman Trail got a reprieve from the otherwise almost constant sounds. In closing: I emphasize my deep satisfaction that a partnership has formed between the school district, the city, and a local health care corporation. As a nurse practitioner, it gives me great pleasure to learn that these three very important community organizations are collaborating on a project with the intent of better serving the health needs of youth and families. I deeply thank Verdant Healthcare for investing in a healthy benefit to the community. I thank both the city and the school district for similarly investing in the health of its citizens. However, there are specific aspects of the current proposal which I strongly discourage. 5 I applaud minor updating to the sports courts, but I cannot overstate my objections to the planned AstroTurf and night lighting, and I vehemently object to any sound amplification devices or systems. These changes to the sports fields clearly pose a potential (and perhaps actual) health threat to many people. They would ruin the quality of life for the nearby residents. And they pose significant risk to the birds and other wildlife that live or migrate through this campus. The actual and potential human health effects, and the direct and indirect environmental effects, are just too substantial In terms of the first phase of the proposed plan, I suggest: use ONLY grass and dirt to create a nice baseball diamond and ONE nice soccer field in the south part of the campus where a pre-existing dirt baseball diamond is located. No night lighting. No sound amplification. Leave the rest of the campus in as natural, peaceful, quiet a state as possible. The city and school district of Edmonds already have plenty of other sports fields. Seattle Parks and Recreation have many ball fields and soccer fields, almost all of which are grassy fields, not synthetic. I offer to you Gilman Park, 923 NW 54th Street, in the east Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, as a superb example of a park that has recently been modified with beautiful grassy fields, and is intensively used for multiple purposes. It is an absolutely beautiful park that uses no AstroTurf http://www.seattle.gov/Parks/park detail.asp?id=242. ) I encourage the involved parties to consider something completely different, something that retains the unique natural charm that the campus already provides, and which preserves the emotional, spiritual and mental health -promoting qualities of this quiet peaceful mountaintop. Installing a walking path, perhaps a fountain or tree garden would appeal to a wider demographic and encourage citizens of all ages to become more physically active. There are so many alternatives to the proposed plan that would be far better for the current and future users of the campus, that would have wonderful health -promoting benefits, and which wouldn't negatively impact the quality of life for those who live in the nearby neighborhood. I deeply hope that other uses will be identified and come to fruition. Sincerely, MarSaret Allsoil Margaret Pinson N Annotated Bibliography American Cancer Society.

As a resident of Edmonds since I was five, I have grown up appreciating the importance of community here and the commitment to safety and opportunity for our kids. As a parent of two girls in our public school system (ages 11 and 9) and a part-time coach, I have been appalled at the lack of quality athletic facilities available to the residents in this area. As a city that thrives off the idea of supporting multiple facets of life's happiness from art programs to traditional community events to parks and recreation, I do not understand how we have gone this long being so far behind other local municipalities and regions when it comes to providing a space for our kids to get out and play. It is quite frankly 'ridiculous. This turf complex is a long -overdue add to our area's collective embrace of the importance of sport for our children and it really is imperative to support this progress.

The Edmonds community drastically needs more adequate fields for youth sports. The site at Old Woodway is ideal for such a facility. The community would benefit greatly from this facility. As a former coach, I realize the importance of facilities to practice. There is great competition among the various youth programs in the surrounding area which results in a shortage of fields. As we all know, weather in the Pacific NW makes it difficult to practice on many of the fields. The addition of the proposed turf facility, including lights, would allow all to benefit, including ESD by renting out the facilities. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the Community Meeting as I am out of town. Thank you.

I would, however, like to know if any consideration has been given to maintaining or integrating spaces for walking and jogging in this beautiful community facility. The design by DA Hogan which I found on the web doesn't appear to integrate a track or even an exercise trail for walking. The renovated spaces for team sports will be great but we shouldn't forget the many community members who don't participate in team sports yet need safe, accessible outdoor spaces for aerobic exercise. I would love to see a design which supported a wider range of fitness activities for people of all ages. Please let me know whom I might contact to get more information on this project.

This natural setting has been almost a daily part of our family's recreation and we will miss it greatly. My favorite days there are when the ground is wet and birds are feeding on the fields. I dislike living in a community that replaces these natural places that are healthy for people and animals with synthetic substances. My first and foremost concern is the recent news articles that have brought into question the safety of the SBR crumb rubber infill material. It sounds like other communities in our area have gone so far as to remove artificial fields they have installed, for the safety of their children. I would like to see Edmonds not fall into the same trap. I find it ironic that this project seems centered on the health of our community, when in reality we could be jeopardizing our health by choosing questionable products. I feel so helpless, knowing that plans are underway. I do wish, with all my heart, that this project could be re- thought.

We are hoping that plans to install the turf fields can be altered in response to community concerns. This is a place we enjoy every day for its natural beauty. It saddens me tremendously to think of the fields where birds feed, and people can enjoy a natural setting, will be covered with synthetic, environmentally unfriendly products. It also surprised me to read that these fields only last 5-10 years. What happens to the materials at that point? Our family is so careful with what we throw away. We hope our city is too. I know you have probably read studies both for an against. The studies against turf are strong enough that New York City and Los Angeles have blocked them being installed in their cities. Obviously, it's not just a small group of anxious people generating unwarranted concern. You have probably read the following article: http://www.nbcnews. com/news/investi gations/how-safe-artificial-turf-your-child-plays-n220166 Please do so again!

In talking with meeting attendees, I realized other important points were brought up. One of the big ones is the limited parking available and how the field use will impinge on school activities. This campus is not a no - longer -in -operation school campus. It houses several vibrant schools that call the campus their home. Also, this space will be completely taken over by organized sports. Not all of us, nor our children, play organized sports. These fields are used by many many families in our community for recreation, throughout the weekends, afternoon, and evenings. Sadly, we will all be pushed out by scheduled events. Our community does not have a lot of open space (especially in comparison to neighboring cities), and this is an important part of what our community offers. This project saddens and frustrates me. I hope a middle ground can be found, perhaps only converting part of the property to turf and leaving some as open -use space. Please consider the many voices that care about these issues.

I heard that you are going to replace the grass fields with crumb rubber artificial turf. I am concerned about the health and well-being of the animals and people that use those fields. There is a likely link between crumb rubber fields and cancer. The ground up, oil covered tires will release carcinogens, heavy metals, toxic vapors, and unpleasant smells into the air, which will get inhaled by all the humans and animals that use those fields. If you turn these fields into AstroTurf, then nothing will be able to grow, and all the animals that eat the small plants that grow on the fields might eat the fake grass and die. If you care at all about the well-being of the animals and humans that use these fields, then please, I beg you, don't put in these horrible crumb rubber artificial fields. Thank you.
