E. and 7th Ave. S. E. Dear Dennls: Thank you for meetinp last Thursday morning, Octobar 24th, at a slte neer 106th St. S. E. and 7th Ave. S. E. with myseli end 8111 Way iram The Watershed Company, Brock Baker, the project proponent, and Rich Johnson hom t��e Washington Department oi Flsheries. A sectlon of North Creek near its headwaters flaws across the site end parts of the site are also considered to be wetland. As you know, Mr. Baker wfshes to esteblish the bounderies oi ihe site avaliable to him to proceed with resldential development of the site. Those wauld be the areas not Included within stream and wetlend buflers. Factors whlch would determine ihe extent oi the stream and wetlend buHers to be applied to the slte Include the extent and classificatlon of ihe site's weltands, ihe classiflcation oi North Creek on-site and a determination of Ils use by salmonid flsh, and an Interpretatlon of section 37.150 B of the zoninp code regardinp the setbac�cs requlred tor the particular combinatlon and configuration o1 streams end wetlands on the slte. A wetiand report dated Dec. 24, 1990 was prepared by Raedeke and Aseociates which Identifled and delineated the wetlands on the site. They classilied the wetlands as Categary II which would infer a 50 foot aetback hom ihe wetland bounderies. On April 30, 1991 we co� ��icted elecirofishing In North Creek on the site end Immediately upstream and down:�tream of it, end were unable to capture any fish. A copy of our May 7, 1991 lerier to Brock Beker reporling on our findings Is Included for your �•eference. Though we were unable to find any diiect evldence ihat any salmonid flsh use the on-site section ot North Creek in the present tlme frame, Rich Johnson of the Washington Department of Fisherles expressed to us thet he cor�sida;rs ihe on-site sectlon of stream to have accasional salmanid flsh use based on observatlons of coho spawners upstream of ihe site several years ago and the more recent capture oi coho Juv��nlles several blocks downstream of the site. The stream on-site is intermittem, that Is, It does not flow year around. A determinatlon reaardtng salmonid fish use would normally be important with repard to setbacks because i� the stream on-site were determined to be without salmonid fish use it could be classifled as a category 3 stroam wfih a 25 foot setback whereas if It were determined that 1029 Market Slreet, Suite B, Kirkland.
