Zoning Designation and Density — The site is zoned Single Family Residential (RS 5.0) and has a comprehensive plan designation of high density single-family. Lots in the RS 5.0 zone must be a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet. Property set aside in tracts or vehicular access easements cannot count towards the minimum lot area per FWRC 19.05.120 "lot area." Review Process — A subdivision of ten or more lots requires review and decision on the preliminary plat application by the city's Hearing Examiner following a public hearing. In summary, following application, the City will review the application for completeness and technical comments. The first procedural decision point is the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review and determination. Following conclusion of the SEPA review, City staff will present the staff report and recommendation on the preliminary plat to the Hearing Examiner, who then makes the final decision on the preliminary plat application. The Hearing Examiner's written decision on the preliminary plat is based on the applicant satisfying criteria pursuant to FWRC 18.35.170(3). The decision of the Hearing Examiner may be appealed pursuant to FWRC 18.35.210. 18-102386-00-PC Doc ID: 77834 Mr. Le July 13, 2018 Page 3 After the final decision on the preliminary plat, engineering plans must be submitted and reviewed by the City Public Works Department. Following review and approval of engineering plans, construction of plat infrastructure may begin. Substantial completion of plat improvements is required prior to final plat review and decision by the City Council. The final plat fee, in effect at the time of the final plat application, and items identified in FWRC 18.40.020, are required to process the final plat. The City allows bonding of only minor improvements such as sidewalks, street lighting, landscaping, or similar improvements. Within 30 days of a complete final plat application, City Council will take action on the plat and upon approval the applicant must record the plat with the King County Recorder's Office. For an itemized list of required information to be included in the preliminary plat submittal, please refer to the enclosed preliminary plat submittal checklist. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) — The proposed subdivision is not categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 197-11-800 and is subject to a threshold determination. A completed environmental checklist must be submitted with the Master Land Use application. A thoroughly completed checklist that gives comprehensive answers to each item will expedite the review process. The public, government agencies, and tribes will be invited to comment on the checklist during a 14-day comment period. An environmental threshold determination made by the director must be rendered prior to public hearing on the preliminary plat application. 4. Public Notice — The preliminary plat and SEPA review require notices of application and public hearing. The applicant will be responsible for supplying a map and list of all properties within 300 feet of the subject property. Three sets of stamped mailing envelopes for each property owner with the department's return address must accompany the map and list. The city's GIS Department provides this service for a nominal fee (less the postage and envelopes). Please see the enclosed bulletin for further information. The applicant will also be required to post City supplied notice boards at the appropriate times and pay the notice board fee. Environmentally Critical Areas — The City's Critical Areas Map does not identify any wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat resource areas, or geologically hazardous areas. The City's map is for planning level purposes and not all critical areas within the city have been identified. The department will require a critical areas report if evidence is found of an apparent critical area located on the subject property or within proximity of the subject property during the development application review process. A portion of the subject property is within a critical aquafer recharge area, ten-year capture zone. 6. Fees —As development fees change annually, please contact the Permit Center at 253-835-2607 for an updated fee list prior to submitting your applications. Additional utility fees, school impact fees, concurrency, and engineering plan review fees apply. 7. Setbacks — Existing and future residences must conform to the following structural setback requirements of FWRC 19.200.010, "Detached Dwelling Units": front yard - twenty feet; side yard - five feet; and rear yard - five feet. Side yard setback from a corner lot for that portion of the lot not 18- 1 02386-00-PC Doc ID: 77834 Mr. Le July 13, 2018 Page 4 adjacent to the primary vehicular access is ten feet. Depict these typical building setback requirements on the proposed plat. Single -Family Residential Regulations a. Maximum height of structures — 30 ft. above average building elevation. b. Maximum lot coverage — 50 percent. c. Required parking spaces two per dwelling unit. d. Driveway and/or parking pad in a required front yard may not exceed 20 feet in width (except as specified in FWRC 19.130.240(1)(b)) and may not be closer than five feet to any side property line (unless shared access). 9. Landscape Suffers — Pursuant to FWRC 18.60.030, preliminary plats adjacent to a city designated arterial (215` Ave SW &. SW 320"' St) must provide a 10-foot-wide Type III landscape strip along the arterial street. The landscape tract is required to shield new residences from the arterial street and will be equally owned and maintained by the homeowners' association; up to 2% can be credited to the open space buffer requirements. Perimeter fencing in subdivisions shall be located on the interior side of landscape strips planted along arterial streets. Type III landscape consists of a mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees interspersed with large shrubs and groundcover. 10. Open Space — All residential subdivisions are required to provide open space in the amount of 15 percent of the gross land area of the subdivision site per FWRC 18.55.060(2). A minimum 10 percent of the open space is required to be usable open space; i.e. appropriate for active recreation areas. Additionally, any onsite open space must be set aside in a tract and owned in common undivided interest by all property owners within the subdivision. All or some of the open space requirements may be satisfied by a fee -in -lieu payment at the discretion of the Parks Director after consideration of the city's overall park plan, quality, location, and service area of the open space that would otherwise be provided with the project. The fee in lieu of open space is calculated on 15 percent of the most recent assessed land value of the property. If the fee -in - lieu option is chosen, a written request to the Parks Director is required. A copy of this request is a required component of the short/preliminary plat application. Open space fees -in -lieu shall be paid prior to recording the plat. 11. Clearing and Grading — The preliminary plat is subject to the provisions of FWRC 19.120, "Clearing, Grading, and Vegetation and Tree Retention." It is recommended that FWRC 19.120 be reviewed carefully in reference to the proposed plat. A clearing and grading plan that meets FWRC 19.120.020 and FWRC 19.120.040 must be submitted with the formal plat application, if clearing and grading work is proposed. Any retaining walls and rockeries can be a maximum of six feet in height and must comply with standards in FWRC 19.120.120. Preliminary designs for retaining walls shall be submitted with the preliminary plat application, and include cross sections, and visual depictions of retaining walls. 12. Tree Retention/Replacement — The plat will be subject to tree density requirements of FWRC 19.120.130(1); note that 25 tree units per acre are required for single-family zoned sites. A tree unit is a value assigned to existing trees retained on the property or replacement trees. The larger the tree, the 18-102386-00-PC Doc 1D: 77834 Mr. Le July 13, 2018 Page 5 greater value it is assigned. Required tree density can be composed of retained trees and replacement plantings per FWRC 19.120.130. The tree and vegetation plan must clearly show where the tree units are to be located. The formal application must indicate what trees are to be removed. In the case of the 2-acre site, approximately 50 tree units are required. Tree unit credits are in Table 2 of FWRC 19.120.130(2). Per FWRC 19.120.130(3), the total number of tree units required to be provided is calculated by multiplying gross site acreage, minus any proposed public or private streets. 13. Forest Practices Permit — The City has assumed jurisdiction over the review and approval of Class IV -General Forest Practices permits. A forest practices application form must be completed if more than 5,000 board feet of merchantable timber is harvested from the subject property. This is approximately equal to one log truck of timber. The City will review the proposed Class IV -General Forest Practices in conjunction with the Preliminary Plat application. Please include details of such activity in the environmental checklist as the Class IV permit is not exempt from SEPA review. 14. Tacoma Smelter Plume — The subject property is located in the Tacoma Smelter Plume detect area containing 20.1 ppm to 40.0 ppm arsenic and lead concentration. Please contact Eva Barber, Technical Assistance Coordinator, Department of Ecology, at Eva.Barber@ecy.wa.gov or 360-407- 7094 regarding the Voluntary Soil Clean -Up Program. Additional information on the smelter plume testing and cleanup requirements can be found at http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/tcp/sites_brochure/tacoma smelter/2011/ts-hp.htm. The City will require soil testing and soil cleanup (if applicable) as a component of the preliminary plat and SEPA applications, review and site development. The applicant shall provide preliminary soil testing data in compliance with Washington State Department of Ecology guidelines with the preliminary plat application. 15. Design Criteria and Improvements — Short Plats and Preliminary Plats are subject to the subdivision design and improvements criteria set forth in FWRC Chapters 18.55 and 18.60. It is the responsibility of the applicant to identify how the proposed subdivision meets applicable design and improvements criteria and is therefore entitled to the land division. 16. School Access Analysis — A school access analysis is required to be submitted to the City with the preliminary plat application, to assure that safe walking routes to schools or bus stops are provided as required by RCW 58.17. If there are not safe and adequate walking routes available, walking route improvements may be required as part of the plat review process. Contact Jennifer Wojciechowski at 253-945-2071 for information about the school access analysis requirements. 17. School Impact Fees — School impact fees are due at the time of issuance of a building permit for new dwelling units. This fee amount is subject to change as determined annually by the Federal Way School District. Please check with the Permit Center, as mentioned above, for up-to-date fees. 18. Approval Duration — Short and preliminary plat approval expires five years from the date of approval, per FWRC 18.35.220. Engineering plans must be approved, improvements constructed, and the plat must be recorded within the five-year time period. Pursuant to FWRC 18.05.090, no less than 60 days prior to the lapse of approval, the applicant may request a two-year time extension for the plat approval. 18-102386-00-PC Doc ID: 77834 Mr. Le July 13, 2018 Page 6 19. Recording — Following substantial completion of subdivision improvements and City Council review of the final plat, the applicant is responsible for recording the plat with the King County Recorder's Office. Prior to recording the plat, all surveying and monumentation must be complete. In addition, all other required improvements must be substantially completed as determined by the departments of Community Development and Public Works. PUBLIC WORKS — DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIVISION Ann Dower, 253-835-2732, ann.dower@cityoffederalway.com Land Use Issues — Stormwater 1. Surface water runoff control and water quality treatment will be required per the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the 2016 KCSWDM. This project meets the requirements for a Full Drainage Review. At the time of land use site plan preliminary plat submittal, a preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR), addressing the relevance of the project to the eight core and five special requirements of the KCSWDM will be required. A Level 1 downstream analysis shall also be provided in the preliminary TIR. The City has 1" = 100', five-foot contour planimetric maps that may be used for basin analysis. 2. The project lies within a Conservation flow control area, thus the applicant must design the flow control facility to meet this performance criteria. In addition to flow control facilities, Best Management Practices (BMP's) are required as outlined in the KCSWDM. The project also lies within an Enhanced Basic Water Quality Area. Water Quality Treatment shall be designed to meet the treatment criteria of the Enhanced Basic Water Quality Menu. 3. If infiltration is proposed, soil logs prepared by a licensed geotechnical engineer or septic designer must be provided to verify infiltration suitability. 4. Detention and water quality treatment facilities for subdivisions are required to be above ground (i.e. an open pond), within a separate storm drainage tract, and dedicated to the City for future maintenance. Detention and water quality facilities may be within the same tract. Underground facilities are allowed only with approval from the City of Federal Way Stormwater Management Division. 5. Show the proposed location and dimensions of the detention and water quality facilities on the preliminary plans. 6. If more than one acre will be disturbed during construction, a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) construction storm water permit may be required. Information regarding this permit can be obtained from the Washington State Department of Ecology at http:Ilwww.ecy.wa.. ZprogEamslwqlstormwaterlcoiistructibii/index.htinI or by calling 360-407- 6048. Right -of -Way Improvements 1. See the Traffic Division comments from Erik Preston, Senior Traffic Engineer, for traffic related items. 18-102386-00-PC Doc ID: 77834 Mr. Le July 13, 2018 Page 7 2. If dedication of additional right-of-way is required to install street frontage improvements, the dedication shall be conveyed to the City through a statutory warranty deed. The dedicated area must have clear title prior to recording. 3. All stormwater treatment and detention requirements outlined above may apply to any improvements within the public right-of-way. 4. FWRC 19.135.280 requires that driveways serving residential uses may not be located closer than 25 feet to any street intersection. Lots and intersections within new subdivisions or short plats must be designed to meet this standard. Building (or EN) Permit Issues 1. Engineered plans are required for clearing, grading, road construction, and utility work. Plans must be reviewed and approved by the City. Engineering review fees are currently $2,503.00 for the first 12 hours of review, and $139.00 per hour for additional review time. A final TIR shall be prepared for the project and submitted with the engineering plans. Both the TIR and the plans will require the signature/seal of a professional engineer registered/licensed in the state of Washington. 2. In addition to engineering approval, short plats and subdivisions are required to obtain a separate permit for grading. Details and fees may be obtained from the Building Department. 3. The Federal Way Public Works Development Standards Manual (including standard detail drawings, standard notes, and engineering checklists) is available on the City's website at: www.cityoffedeimlw4y.coin/node/1467 to assist the applicant's engineer in preparing the plans and TIR. 4. Bonding is required for all street improvements and temporary erosion and sediment control measures associated with the project. The bond amount shall be 120 percent of the estimated costs of the improvements. An administrative fee deposit will need to accompany the bond to cover any possible legal fees in the event the bond must be called. Upon completion of the installation of the improvements, and final approval of the Public Works Inspector, the bond will be reduced to 30 percent of the original amount and held for a two-year maintenance period. 5. The developer will be responsible for the maintenance of all storm drainage facilities (including the detention and water quality facilities) and street systems during the two-year maintenance period. During that time, the Public Works Inspector will make periodic visits to the site to ensure the developer's compliance with the maintenance requirements. Upon satisfactory completion of the two- year maintenance period, the remainder of the bond will be released. Maintenance for public roads and subdivision drainage facilities then become the responsibility of the City. Maintenance for private roads and drainage facilities, including short plats, remain the responsibility of the individual property owners. 6. When topographic survey information is shown on the plans, the vertical datum block shall include the phrase "DATUM: N.G.V.D.-29" or "DATUM: K.C.A.S.," on all sheets where vertical elevations are called out. 7. Drawings submitted for plan review shall be printed on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" paper. Site plans shall be drawn at a scale of 1" = 20', or larger. Architectural scales are not permitted on engineering plans. 18-102386-00-PC Doc ID: 77834 Mr. Le July 13, 2018 Page 8 8. Provide cut and fill quantities on the clearing and grading plan. 9. Temporary Erosion and Sediment -control (TESC) measures, per Appendix D of the 2009 KCSWDM, must be shown on the engineering plans. 10. The site plan shall show the location of any existing and proposed utilities in the areas affected by construction. PUBLIC WORKS TRAFFIC DIVISION Erik Preston, PE, 253-835-2744, erik.preston@cityoffederalway.com Transportation Concurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90) 1. Based on the submitted materials for 14 single-family detached housing units, using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation - 10"' Edition, land use code 210 (Single -Family Detached Housing), the proposed project is estimated to generate approximately 14 new weekday PM peak hour trips. Alternatively, the applicant may submit a site -specific trip generation study for the proposed development. 2. A concurrency permit is required for this development project. The PW Traffic Division will perform concurrency analysis to determine if adequate roadway capacity exists during the weekday PM peak period to accommodate the proposed development. Please note that supplemental transportation analysis and concurrency mitigation may be required if the proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in the six -year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP). The estimated fee for the concurrency permit application is $4,790.00. This fee is an estimate and based on the materials submitted for the preapplication meeting. The concurrency application fee must be paid in full at the time the concurrency permit application is submitted with land use application. The fee may change based on any changes in the estimated weekday PM peak hour trips as identified in the concurrency application. The applicant has the option of having an independent traffic engineer prepare the concurrency analysis consistent with City procedures; however, the fee remains the same. Transportation Impact Fees (TIF) (FWRC 19.91) Based on the submitted materials for 14 single-family lots, the estimated total traffic impact fee is $55,878. The actual fee will be assessed and collected from the applicant when the building permit is issued, using the fee schedule then in effect (FWRC 19.100.070 3(c)). At any time prior to building permit issuance, the applicant may request to defer to final building inspection the payment of a transportation impact fee for a single-family residential dwelling unit (FWRC 19.100.075). If this option is selected, a covenants prepared by the city to enforce payment of the deferred fees will be recorded at the applicant's expense. Refer to defer payment of impact fee code for process. Street Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135) 1. The applicant/owner would be expected to construct street improvements consistent with the planned roadway cross -sections as shown in Map III-4 in Chapter III of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) shown as Table III-10 (FWRC 19.135.040). Based on the materials submitted, staff conducted a limited analysis to determine the required street 18-102386-00-PC Doc 1D: 77834 Mr. Le July 13, 2018 Page 9 improvements. The applicant would be expected to construct improvements on the following streets to the City's planned roadway cross -sections: 2 1 " Ave SW is a Principal Arterial planned as a Type "E" street, consisting of a 64-foot street with curb and gutter, 6-foot planter strips with street trees with streetlights, and 8-foot sidewalks, and utility strip in a 98-foot right-of-way (ROW). Assuming a symmetrical cross section, 4-foot ROW dedication and half -street improvements are required as measured from the street centerline. If the ROW is not symmetrical, additional ROW dedication may be required. ■ SW 320`" St is a Minor Arterial planned as a Type "I" street, consisting of a 58-foot street with curb and gutter, 6-foot planter strips with street trees and streetlights, and 8-foot sidewalks, in a 92-foot right-of-way (ROW). Assuming a symmetrical cross section, 4-foot ROW dedication and half -street improvements are required as measured from the street centerline. ■ Internal street(s) shall be a Type "W" Local street, consisting of a 28-foot street with curb and gutter, four -foot planter strips with street trees, five-foot sidewalks and street lights in a 52-foot right-of-way (ROW). ■ Hammerhead turn-arounds are not permitted on public streets. An approved turnaround such as a Type "Z" Cul-De-Sac Terminus Bulb, consisting of a 90-foot street with curb and gutter, 26-foot center island (optional), 5-foot sidewalks, and street lights in a 106-foot right-of-way (ROW) is required. ■ Staff may be supportive of a ROW modification request to reduce the cul-de-sac diameter if approved by South King Fire & Rescue. 2. The applicant may make a written request to the Public Works Director to modify, defer, or waive the required street improvements (FWRC 19.135.070). Information about right-of-way modification requests is available through the Public Works Development Services Division. These modification requests currently have a nominal review fee of $278. Tapers and transitions beyond the project frontage may be required as deemed necessary for safety purposes. The taper rate shall be WS2/60 or as directed by the Public Works Director. Access Management (FWRC 19.135) 1. Access management standards are based on roadway safety and capacity requirements. FWRC 19.135.280 provides access standards for streets based on planned roadway cross -sections. Please note that access classifications are per Drawing 3-IA in the Public Works Development Standards. 2. Please show all neighboring driveways within 150 feet of the proposed driveway(s). 3. 21" Ave SW is classified as Access Class "2", which permits full access as close as 330 feet to any other street intersection or driveway, whether on or off the subject property. The current proposal does not meet access management standards and should be modified. Any access to 2 1 " Ave SW would be limited to right -in, right -out (RIRO). 18-102386-00-PC Doc ID: 77834 Mr. Le July 13, 2018 Page 10 4. SW 320"' Street is Access Class "3", which permits full access as close as 150 feet to any other street intersection or driveway, whether on or off the subject property. The applicant might consider looping the internal street to connect to SW 3201h St as well. 5. Access may be further restricted if such access would interfere with the 95"' percentile queue lengths from any existing traffic control device or if sight distance is deficient. 6. The director may grant a modification administratively to reduce spacing standards by up to 20 percent of the tabular values with supporting documentation (FWRC 19.135.290). Please note that these modification requests have a nominal review fee of $278. Once preliminary traffic queuing analysis has been completed, the applicant's traffic engineer may submit a written request for access modification if desired. Design Criteria (FWRC 18.55) 1. Block perimeters shall be no longer than 1,320 feet for non -motorized trips, and 2,640 feet for streets (FWRC 18.55.010 and FWCP Policy TP4.2). Therefore, a north -south connection to SW 320th St along the west side of the property (Type "AA" Nan -Motorized Path) would be required. If an internal Type W street connection to SW 320"' St were made, then a separate pedestrian path would not be required. 2. All lots shall be accessed by a public street right-of-way (FWRC 18.55.020). In certain cases, lots may be accessed by an ingress/egress and utilities easement or alley subject to the requirements established in the City of Federal Way public works development standards. Residential lots should not have access onto arterial streets. 3. Traffic calming devices such as speed humps, traffic circles, chicanes, etc. should be incorporated in the residential street design to control speed and any potential cut -through traffic if an internal street connection is made between 21" Ave SW and SW 320th St. Misc. Safety Related Comments 1. Driveways serving a single family dwelling unit abutting two streets should be at least 25 feet from the beginning of the street radius. The application should be forwarded to King County METRO and Pierce Transit for any transit requirements.
