j_ Include an addendum that addresses implementation of the vegetation management
plan as stated below.
2/6/2015 comment Response letter states the cost estimate worksheet will be provided once
the plan review by the City is complete. Please note, as it is not clearly state below, the cost
estimate shall also include an estimate for plants & labor associated with implementation of the
vegetation management plan. The estimate will be used to calculate a performance bond and/or
maintenance bond.
10/21/2014 comment — Please submit when civils are near final review.
8/11/2014 comment - Please provide an itemized engineers cost estimate, including units and
unit prices, for both on -site and off -site (right-of-way) improvements, including all utilities,
traffic control. Please use the King County Site Improvement Bond Quantity Worksheet and
utilize the "write-in" sections where appropriate.
• A bond is required to be placed for all erosion control measures, right-of-way and
stormwater management improvements. Posting a bond for stormwater systems applies to
subdivisions that involve 7,000 square feet or more of land disturbing activity and as well as
on projects in a critical area or buffer including ESLHA. The amount of the bond will be
based on 120% of the City approved estimate. The City will inform you of the appropriate
bond amount after review of the cost estimate. Please obtain the appropriate subdivision
improvement bond forms from the City.
• If you intend to post a bond in order to record the subdivision, the bond amount will be
based on the entire scope of the project.
• Inspection fees for this project will be calculated at 3.3% of the 120% City approved
estimate for all improvements.
2. April 3 2015 — Comment partially addressed. I will redline additional notes on the plans.
2/6/2015 comment — Thank you for including a traffic control plan. All required si ng age,
however, has not been shown. Please refer to City handout E81 and update plans accordingly.
10/21/ 2014 comment — A note was added to the plans indicating a flagger would be provided at
the intersection of Soundview Lane and Soundview Drive. Please include a TCP in the plan set
that addresses placement of signage, cones, location of flaggers, etc. Soundview Lane is to be
widened beyond its existing limits, which will create a greater impact at the intersection than
just periodic placement of a flagger.
8/11/2014 comment - Please submit a traffic control and haul route plan for review and
approval.

compaction and construction of all elements of the private access road and drainage installation
(related slope stability & foundation support).

4. April 3, 2015 — This item was discussed during a phone conference call with the applicant
on March loth. On March 251h an arborist letter from Shoffner Consulting was submitted
to the City addressing the City's requirement for tree replacement based on the number of
trees removed from the site. 29 replacement trees are required based on the number and
Dbh of trees removed. The proposal includes 26 replacement trees, all located on private
property. The City is agreeable to the planting of 26 trees on private property with the
additional 3 trees planted within the City right-of-way. The plans will be redlined to
include planting of 3 Dogwood trees within the ROW ... location to be determined in the
field during construction. In addition, as noted in the letter, the vegetation management
plan indicated planting of 36 trees in total on private property but due to spacing concerns
the arborist recommended planting of 26 trees. The plans will be redlined to include

relocating the Western Red Cedars as appropriate instead of eliminating them all
together.
2/6/2015 comment - The Tree Removal or Trimming within City Ruoff --Way policy was
updated and the new policy was gpproved by City Council on November 18, 2014. I have
discussed with our City Attorney whether or not this project vests to the old policy and in
accordance with RCW 58.17.033, the removal of trees located within the City right -of -wad
not fall under a land use control ordinance and therefore does not carry vesting.
Thank you for the effort to address the previous plan review comment, however, the new policy
no longer has a provision related to reimbursement for marketable timber. The new policy does,
however, have a provision for tree replacement that will need to be addressed. I have attached a
copy of the new policy at the end of these plan review comments. The plans do not state the
caliper of trees being removed so I am not able to state what the replacement requirement would
be. The policy states that a consulting arborist can review the recommended tree replacement
ratio and make a final determination on appropriate replacement ratio for the site. If all required
replacement trees can be planted in an appropriate location in the right-of-way or on the site,
then a consulting arborist will not be necessary. The potential that the trees planted in the
Native Vegetation Areas may count towards the required replacement was discussed by staff,
but the policy does not have a provision that would allow for trees that are otherwise required as
part of the development to count towards said replacement requirement. This issue could still
be addressed by a consulting arborist with their recommended tree replacement ratio. Please
revise plans and resubmit accordingly.
10/21/2014 comment - A note regarding this comment was added to the Native Vegetation Plan,
however, that specific plan is intended to deal with vegetation on private property. While it is
acceptable to keep the note on this plan, it shall be specifically called out on Sheet 2 (TESC,
Grading & Demo Plan). As you had requested in our meeting on 8/19/2014, the policy
regarding this requirement was emailed to you. The policy states that the required
documentation shall be submitted to the City prior to approval and issuance of the right-of-way
construction permit. Please submit at least three quotes/bids from tree removal contractors
experienced in removal and sale of marketable timber.
8/11/2014 comment - Several trees proposed for removal are shown to be located within the
City right-of-way. Please provide documentation showing these trees will not provide
marketable timber. If the timber is marketable, the money provided to the owner/developer for
removal of the tree(s) will need to be paid to the City.
