EVERE7T Seattle, WA 9B1O�} C��uY:urOO P"b�'c sa��Us Costco Wholesale Kim Stever y99 La!<e Drive Issaquah, WA 98027 RE: Costco, Proposed Site Modifications Dear Mr. Boule' and Ms. Stever, In your November 18, 2002 letter, you have requested direction from the City regarding how to address surface water, water quality, and wetland concerns raised by the Ciry as they pertain to additional development of the existing Costco site with a service station. These issues are critical since the pr��posed conceptual site plan would result in direct impacts to the existing wetland mitig��tion area and water quality facilities on site. As you are awarE, wetland alteration w�is permitterJ for the initial Costco development on the basis of an anolysis in an EIS for the site that ir.dicated that water qualiry (leaving the site) could be improved through the proposed mitigation improvements. The Shapiro lelter does not fully address pre�.�iously iterated City concerns regar�ing the modifications to the site and stormwater facilities for a gas station. Water qualily monitoring by itself will not address additiona� modification to wetlands on tFie site and to the storm drainage system. There are hvo major issues that must still be addressed before modifications can be made to the Costco site that would be consistent v�ith the EIS. These issues rrgard wetlands and stormwater facilities on the site. eoth issues must be addressed in accordance with the analysis and approach of the EIS hefore there will be adequate basis for the City to approve any modifications to the site.
