(c) Trees, whether growng sngly, n clusters or n woodland settngs, provde a wde varety of sgnfcant psychologcal and tangble benefts for both resdents and vstors. Trees contrbute to the natural envronment by modfyng temperatures and wnds, replenshng oxygen to the atmosphere and water to the sol, controllng sol eroson, and provdng wldlfe habtat. Trees contrbute to the vsual envronment by provdng scale, color, slhouette and mass, by creatng vsual screens and buffers to separate structures, and by promotng ndvdual prvacy.

Tree plantng locatons and speces selectons may produce both ntended benefcal effects on the property where they are planted, and unntended deleterous effects on neghborng propertes. Trees may block lght, cause the growth of moss, harbor plant dsease, retard the growth of grass and nterfere wth the enjoyment of vews and sunlght, leadng to the lessenng of property values. (f) It s n the nterest of the publc welfare, health and safety to establsh standards for lght, sun, ar, habtat, and scenc resource protecton, and the resoluton of obstructon and related complants.

(3) Ste-Specfc Determnaton - Geologcal and Geotechncal Report rovsons. Should the applcant queston the nformaton the cty must rely on to determne whether a locaton contans a geologcally hazardous area or area of geologc concern, the cty may ask the applcant to submt the approprate geotechncal or geologc report to confrm or modfy the

age 27 of 37 exstng nformaton known about the area. The requrements for these reports are contaned n Artcles VIII and X of ths Chapter. I The ntent of ths provson s to allow obvously nongeologcally hazardous stes to be determned as such. Where there s any ambguty about the potental for geologc hazards whatsoever, the department wll requre a geotechncal or geologcal report, rather than make a nongeologcally hazardous determnaton. 1 The Washngton Geologc Informaton ortal s avalable onlne at https://www.dn r. wa.gov/geologyporta I.

Submttal documents prepared by a lcensed engneer may also be requred by the department, pursuant to the cty's stormwater regulatons. (1) Geologcally Hazardous Areas and Areas of Geologc Concern. (a) Approval. Where applcable the department wll approve, approve wth condtons or deny the development proposal based on the department's evaluaton of specfc ste condtons. The department wll also consder any proposed mtgaton measures ncluded n a geotechncal report, f one s submtted. (b) ublc Works Requrements.

The mnmum buldng and mpervous surface setback from the top of slope shall be equal to the heght of the slope (1:1 horzontal to vertcal) plus the greater of one-thrd of the vertcal slope heght or 25 feet. () Areas of Geologc Concern. A mnmum 40-foot buldng and mpervous surface setback shall be mantaned from the top of slope. As requred n subsecton (l)(c) of ths secton, the 25 feet adjacent to the top of the slope shall be retaned as a natve vegetaton buffer, wth an addtonal mnmum 15-foot buldng and mpervous surface setback. The department may decrease the setback when such a setback would result n a greater than 1:1 slope setback or as may be allowed through a geologcal report or a ste-specfc determnaton. () Toe of Slope Buldng Setback. A geotechncal report may be requred for any new constructon wthn 200 feet of a geologcally hazardous area. The department wll make a determnaton based on slope heght and stablty ndcators. Where slope hazard ndcators are not dentfed, the requrements of the Internatonal Buldng Code Secton 1805 or Secton R403 wll apply. (e) Buffer and Buldng Setback Modfcatons - Report Recommendatons. The mnmum natve vegetaton buffer and/or buldng setback requrement may be decreased f a geotechncal report demonstrates that a lesser dstance, through desgn and engneerng solutons, wll adequately protect both the proposed development and the eroson hazard and/or landslde hazard area (see Artcles VIII and X of ths Chapter for geologcal and geotechncal report requrements). Should the geotechncal report ndcate that a greater buffer and/or buldng setback s requred than specfed n ths secton, the greater buffer and/or buldng setback shall be requred. The department may determne through a ste vst, a specal report or mappng, that an ncreased buffer and/or buldng setback s requred from the crtcal area. (f) Tme Lmtatons. For major new development, and where requred for mnor new development, clearng, and gradng, shall be lmted to the perod between May 1st to October 1st, unless the applcant provdes an eroson and sedmentaton control plan prepared by a professonal engneer lcensed n the state of Washngton that specfcally and realstcally dentfes methods of eroson control for wet weather condtons. (g) Feld Markng Requrements. For major new development, the proposed clearng for the project and all crtcal area buffers shall be marked n the feld for nspecton and approval by the department pror to begnnng work. Feld markng requrements for mnor new development wll be determned on a case-by-case bass by the department. The feld markng of all buffers shall reman n place untl constructon s completed and fnal

age 29 of 37 approval s granted by the department. ermanent markng may be requred as determned necessary to protect crtcal areas or ther buffers. (h) Cut and Fll Slopes. The faces of all cut and fll slopes shall be protected to prevent eroson as requred by the engneered eroson and sedmentaton control plan. () Development Impact Standards. All dscharge of runoff from the development ste shall be of lke qualty, flow rate, and velocty as that whch flowed from the ste pror to development. In addton, all stormwater flows shall be accepted onto, and shall be dscharged from, the development ste at the natural or otherwse legally exstng locatons. The proposed development shall not decrease the slope stablty of any area wthn 200 feet of the property boundary. (j) Development Rsk Standard. In cases where a specal report ndcates a sgnfcant rsk to publc health, safety and welfare, the department shall deny or requre revson of the ste development proposal. (k) Addtonal Clearng Standards. () Only the clearng necessary to nstall temporary eroson control measures wll be allowed pror to the clearng for roads and utltes constructon. () Clearng for roads and utltes shall be the mnmum necessary and shall reman wthn marked constructon lmts. () Clearng for overhead power lnes shall be the mnmum necessary for constructon and wll provde the requred mnmum clearances of the servng utlty. (I) Exstng Loggng Roads. Where exstng loggng roads occur n geologcally hazardous areas or areas of geologc concern, a geologcal or geotechncal report may be requred pror to use as a temporary haul road or permanent access road under a converson or COH forest practces applcaton. (m) Clusterng Requrements. The department may requre clusterng to ncrease protecton to geologcally hazardous areas or areas of geologc concern. (n) Vegetaton Enhancement. The department may requre enhancement of buffer vegetaton to ncrease protecton to geologcally hazardous areas or areas of geologc concern. (o) Sesmc Hazard Area Development Standards.
