CALL TO ORDER Committee Chair Kochmar called the meeting to order at 5:30 PM. Committee Member Jim Ferrell was excused. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The September 22, 2008 LUTC meeting minutes were approved. Moved: Duclos Seconded: Kochmar Passed: Unanimously, 2-0 3. PUBLIC COMMENT No public comment was received. 4. BUSINESS ITEMS A. 2009 Asphalt Overlay Program — Preliminary List and authorization to Bid John Mulkey provided background information on this item. Committee Chair Kochmar asked at what time staff decides to bid part or all of the overlay schedules. Mr. Mulkey explained that once final design of all of the schedules has been completed, cost estimates are refined to fit within the budget. Schedules may have to be modified depending on what the budget allows. When the project goes out to bid, all of the schedules are bid. When the project is awarded to a contractor, staff may recommend only awarding a portion of the schedules, as allowable by the budget. Committee Chair Kochmar asked if the present time is a favorable bidding climate. Mr. Mulkey responded that yes, the present is a favorable bidding climate. Bids that go out early or more in advance of the project time usually yield a better price. There is no way to know how the cost of oil, asphalt, or materials will be affected at the actual bidding time; the price may either work for or against the City. This year, staff has been more conservative in their estimates because of the uncertainty of costs and feels that bidding this project now will yield very solid bids. Moved: Duclos Seconded: Kochmar Passed: Unanimously, 2-0 Committee forwarded Option 1 to the October 21, 2008 City Council Consent Agenda for approval. B. Outdoor Storage Containers Zoning Text Amendment Lori Michaelson provided background information on this item. Committee Chair Duclos asked how many residents attended the Planning Commission's Public Hearing and if there were any written comments. Ms. Michaelson responded that there were no written comments but that Federal Way resident Don Barovic was the only public comment. Mr. Barovic spoke in favor of allowing several containers on residential property. He had plans to use the containers as a sound barrier between his property and a neighboring church as well as for small livestock Mr. Baravic's comment would not be consistent with the Planning Commission's Outdoor Storage Containers Zoning Code; therefore, Mr. Barovic would not be allowed several containers on his property. Councilmember Burbidge asked for clarification as to how "industry standards" might apply to this topic. Ms. Michaelson explained that a quantitative restriction to containers would affect size and quantity. Staff thought that it may be better to go with a qualitative restriction that will allow for containers that are G:\LUTC\LUTC Agendas and Summaries 2008\10-06-08 Minutes.doc Land Usefrransportation Committee Page 2 October 6, 2008 consistent with the standards for that use in that zone. Staff believes the outdoor storage container industry will dictate what the industry standard is. Committee Chair Kochmar asked if there was any reason to explain the increase in permit applications and inquires for outdoor storage containers and approximately how many are currently in use. Ms. Michaelson answered that outdoor storage containers are becoming more popular, are inexpensive and are very efficient. Staff believe a good estimate to be around 20 outdoor storage containers in use citywide based solely on what was seen in windshield surveys and in aerial photos. Moved: Duclos Seconded: Kochmar Passed: Unanimously, 2-0 Committee forwarded Option 1 with a further modification to not make changes to the definitions of "dwelling unit" (DU) and "accessory dwelling unit" (ADU) to the October 21, 2008 City Council Consent Ordinance for first reading. 5.

A verbatim recording of the hearing is available in the office of the King County Hearing Examiner. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. General Information: Developer: GWC Inc. Terry DeFoor 24633 NE 133rd Street Duvall, WA 98019 (206) 999-8874 Engineer: Jaeger Engineering 9419 South 204th Place Kent, WA 98031 (253)850-0155 Location: STR: Zoning: Acreage: Number of Lots: Density: Lot Size: Proposed Use: Sewage Disposal: Water Supply: Fire District: School District: Complete Application Date: Generally between Military Road South and Peasley Canyon Road, north of SR -18 15-21-04 R-4 11.62 acres 37 Approximately 3.18 units per acre Approximately 5,000 square feet in size Single-family detached dwellings Lakehaven Utility District Lakehaven Utility District King County Fire District No. 39 Federal Way School District September 10, 2002 2. Except as modified herein, the facts set forth in the King County Land Use Services Division's preliminary report to the King County Hearing Examiner for the October 12, 2004, public hearing are found to be correct and are incorporated herein by reference. The LUSD staff recommends approval of the application, subject to conditions. 3. GWC, Incorporated, has filed a preliminary plat application to subdivide 11.62 acres into 37 lots for single-family residential development. The proposed property is located on the east side of Military Road South within a rapidly developing urban residential area. 4. Surface water runoff from the plat development will be piped over steep erosional slopes into the Mill Creek system. Level 2 flow control will be imposed to avoid exacerbating erosional impacts. Further north within the Green River valley the gradient for Mill Creek flattens out and chronic flooding conditions are encountered during major storm events. DDES staff regards these chronic flooding conditions to be regional problems to be resolved through public projects undertaken by the affected jurisdictions. 5. The October 12, 2004, public hearing was continued to allow the Applicant's engineer to submit a revised design for the proposed recreation tract meeting code requirements.. The revised Tract C area exceeds the 14,430 square feet required under code, and the adjacent drainage tract has been reconfigured to provide a more usable recreation area. In addition, staff condition l Lc has been revised to accommodate alternative designs for transitioning channelization improvements north of the plat entrance if additional right- of-way cannot be obtained. CONCLUSIONS: If approved subject to the conditions' imposed below, the proposed subdivision makes appropriate provision for the public health, safety and welfare; serves the public use and interest; and meets the requirements of RCW 58.17.110. 2. The conditions of approval imposed herein, including dedications and easements, will provide improvements that promote legitimate public purposes, are necessary to serve the subdivision and are proportional to its impacts; are required to make the proposed plat reasonably compatible with the environment; and will carry out applicable state laws and regulations and the laws, policies and objectives of King County. DECISION: The preliminary plat application for Northlake Rim, as revised and received on October 19, 2004, is APPROVED, subject to the following conditions of final approval: 1. Compliance with all platting provisions of Title 19A of the King County Code. 2.

The applicant shall be responsible for the installation, maintenance and monitoring of any approved mitigation. The mitigation plan must be installed prior to final inspection of the plat. Geotechnical e. Determine the top, toe and slides of 40% slopes by field survey. Provide a 50 - foot buffer for these slopes. The buffer may be reduced with the submittal of a satisfactory soils report, subject to review and approval by a DDES geologist, prior to engineering plan approval. f. The applicant shall delineate all on-site erosion hazard areas on the final engineering plans (erosion hazard areas are defined in KCC 21A.06.415). The delineation of such areas shall be approved by a DDES geologist. The requirements found in KCC 21A.24.220 concerning erosion hazard areas shall be met, including seasonal restrictions on clearing and grading activities. I q _ g. The following note shall be shown on the final engineering plan and recorded plat: RESTRICTIONS FOR SENSITIVE AREA TRACTS AND SENSITIVE AREAS AND BUFFERS Dedication of a sensitive area tract/sensitive area setback area conveys to the public a beneficial interest in the land within the tract/setback area. This interest includes the preservation of native vegetation for all purposes that benefit the public health, safety and welfare, including control of surface water and erosion, maintenance of slope stability, and protection of plant and animal habitat. The sensitive area tract/setback area imposes upon all present and future owners and occupiers of the land subject to the tract/setback area the obligation, enforceable on behalf of the public by King County, to leave undisturbed all trees and other vegetation within the tract/setback area. The vegetation within the tract/setback area may not be cut, pruned, covered by fill, removed or damaged without approval in writing from the King County Department of Development and Environmental Services or its successor agency, unless otherwise provided by law. The common boundary between the sensitive area tract/sensitive area setback area and the area of development activity must be marked or otherwise flagged to the satisfaction of King County prior to any clearing, grading, building construction or other development activity on a property subject to the sensitive area tract/setback area. The required marking or flagging shall remain in place until all development proposal activities in the vicinity of the sensitive area and buffer are completed. No building foundations are allowed beyond the required 15 -foot building setback line, unless otherwise provided by law. 19. Suitable recreation space shall be provided consistent with the requirements of KCC 21A.14.180 and KCC 2IA. 14.190 (i.e., sport court[s], children's play equipment, picnic table[s], benches, etc.). The tract(s) shall be reconfigured to create more useable area. Fencing shall be provided between the recreation tract and SAT tract. a. A detailed recreation space plan (i.e., location, area calculations, dimensions, landscape specs, equipment specs, etc.) shall be submitted for review and approval by DDES and King County Parks prior to or concurrent with the submittal of engineering plans. b. A performance bond for recreation space improvements shall be posted prior to recording of the plat. C. The steep slope buffer may be reduced to 15 feet adjacent to the recreation tract. d. If a pedestrian easement is to be provided within the Tract C recreation area, it shall be relocated adjacent to the tract's southern boundary. I qq — 20. A homeowners' association or other workable organization shall be established to the satisfaction of DDES which provides for the ownership and continued maintenance of the recreation, open space and/or sensitive area tract(s). 21. Street trees shall be provided as follows (per KCRS 5.03 and KCC 21A.16.050): a. Trees shall be planted at a rate of one tree for every 40 feet of frontage along all roads. Spacing may be modified to accommodate sight distance requirements for driveways and intersections. b. Trees shall be located within the street right-of-way and planted in accordance with Drawing No. 5-009 of the 1993 King County Road Standards, unless King County Department of Transportation determines that trees should not be located in the street right-of-way. C. If King County determines that the required street trees should not be located within the right-of-way, they shall be located no more than 20 feet from the street right-of-way line. d. The trees shall be owned and maintained by the abutting lot owners or the homeowners association or other workable organization unless the County has adopted a maintenance program. Ownership and maintenance shall be noted on the face of the final recorded plat. e. The species of trees shall be approved by DDES if located within the right-of- way, and shall not include poplar, cottonwood, soft maples, gum, any fruit - bearing trees, or any other tree or shrub whose roots are likely to obstruct sanitary or storm sewers, or that is not compatible with overhead utility lines. f. The applicant shall submit a street tree plan and bond quantity sheet for review and approval by DDES prior to engineering plan approval. g. The applicant shall contact Metro Service Planning at 684-1622 to determine if 148'' Avenue SE is on a bus route. If so, the street tree plan shall also be reviewed by Metro. h. The street trees must be installed and inspected, or a performance bond posted prior to recording of the plat. If a performance bond is posted, the street trees must be installed and inspected within one year of recording of the plat. At the time of inspection, if the trees are found to be installed per the approved plan, a maintenance bond must be submitted or the performance bond replaced with a maintenance bond, and held for one year. After one year, the maintenance bond may be released after DDES has completed a second inspection and determined that the trees have been kept healthy and thriving. A landscape inspection fee shall also be submitted prior to plat recording. The inspection fee is subject to change based on the current County fees. ORDERED this 26th day of October, 2004.

The Examiner recommends approval subject to conditions recommended by staff. ORAL TESTIMONY Deb Barker, Federal Way Staff. Ms. Barker presented an overview of the staff report on behalf of the City. Her testimony, other than her presentation of the staff report, was in response to the public concerns raised during the hearing. First, she addressed the concern of the residents that too many trees were being removed. She noted that the applicant's plan actually exceeded the City's requirements regarding replacement of removed trees. She noted that the project exceeded the open space requirements stated in the Code, which was also a concern for many residents. Finally, she reassured the public that although there were concerns raised regarding the grading proposed for the site, there were further permits that still had to be applied for and examined by City departments before construction could begin_ Bill McCaffrey, applicant_ Mr. McCaffrey presented the history and background of the project. Specifically, he described the competitive process to be granted the cottage housing demonstration project. He noted that it was his proposition to create the development as a Low Impact Development (LID). fn response to community concerns, he stated that he has not been misleading about his intentions with the project, and that the public has always been presented with the 16 -unit plan, and not with the 12 -unit plan as many residents contend. Also he disagreed with the statements made regarding the experimental nature of rain gardens proposed for the site. He testified that they were not experimental. They are currently in use in other developments in the City, and are intended to capture water at the source of the runoff and prevent damage to the lake. Rain gardens, he noted, are very good at capturing and controlling the flow of contaminants. Finally, he stated that he followed the recommendations of a hired arborist in order to save important trees on the property. Carl Hansen, resident. Mr. Hansen voiced few concerns regarding the project itself, and about the ingress and egress issues on 6`" Place. He wanted to make sure that the project and plat maps correctly stated the name of the road, as it appeared to be misnamed on the current mapping_ BFP707808.DOC; l /13041,150015/1 Preliminary Plat Recommendation P. 1 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation 31 Simon Garcia, III, resident. Mr. Garcia also stated concerns regarding the main road, and the problem of runoff during heavy rains causing cars to hydroplane on the road. In addition he stated that stormwater runoff from the road often resulted in overflow onto his property down the road, and he hopes that such problems will be addressed in the planning and construction during the proposed widening of the road. Marilyn Gates, resident. Mrs. Gates first stated her concerns regarding the disruption of animals in the area, including coyotes, raccoons, and skunks, that due to the project would likely end up in her backyard. In addition, she was concerned about the ability of the lake to handle any further runoff, as it already submerges her property during the heavy rainfall of the winter months. Finally, she stated that she disagrees with the piecemeal development that the City is allowing around the lake, and that it is the cause of some of the major problems with the lake. David Toner, resident. Mr. Toner first raised his concern regarding the lack of notice provided to him as a property owner with a partial ownership interest in the lake. Although his property is not within 300 feet of the project property, the lake is, and as a partial owner of the lake he believed he, along with all other partial owners, ought to have been notified regarding the SEPA determination process. His problem was that due to lack of notice, the property owners around the lake, who will be most affected -by any harm to the lake, were unable to have a voice in the determination process. He also contends that the project needs an Environmental Impact Statement, and that because he did not receive notice he was unable to voice this concern to the City. In addition, he testified that he believed this project posed a great economic risk to the City, and that the adverse affects that will likely result from mass grading, removal of trees, and harm to the lake, are reason enough for this proposal to be denied. Richard Scott, resident. Mr. Scott also addressed the issue of lack of notice to those residents around the lake who are not within 300 feet of the subject property, but have partial ownership of the lake. In addition he opposed the proposed mass grading, and the removal of nearly all of the large trees on the property, as they are not only crucial to the geological integrity of the lake, but also the aesthetic quality. Bob Roper, resident. Mr. Roper has been monitoring the lake for over 12 years, from 1993 through 2005, and is concerned by the proposal because of the possible infiltration and flow into the lake that will occur. He lives on the lake, chairs the Land Use Committee of the Mirror Lake Residents Association, served on the Board of Directors for the Washington State Lake Protection Association, and is a chemical engineer. He is specifically concerned that the King County stormwater manual techniques are insufficient to prevent harm to the lake, especially in regards to the inadequacies of the proposed rain gardens for controlling stormwater runoff into the lake. He submitted a letter into the record addressing these issues in great detail. He also stated concern regarding the cottage housing on the subject location because of its impact on the lake, (BFP707808.DOC;1/13041.150015/) Preliminary Plat Recommendation p. 2 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation and because it would allow double the density of the surrounding zoning districts. Finally, he proposed conditions to the approval of the plat if approved: reducing the housing to 12 units, reserving the south side of the property for water retention, providing for City maintenance of the ponds for the project, and a bond for remediation of future water problems. Eden Toner, resident. Mr. Toner also addressed the lack of notice received as a property owner in the area, like those that testified before him. He felt as though he was essentially excluded from the process. He also pointed out an easement that would allow lake access to 5 of the cottage homes. This would create problems for the property owners that own the lake and who are responsible for its maintenance, because the cottage home owners owe no duty to protect the lake. In addition, he disagreed with the proposal to remove all of the trees. Mr. Toner also testified that he felt as though the applicant had deceived the neighbors throughout this process, and that the applicant only went through the necessary motions in order to have this project approved. Finally, he proposed conditions for the possible approval of the project: addition of retention ponds, retention of more trees on the property, fewer number of proposed units, and phased grading. Patricia Raine, resident. Ms. Raine testified mainly only to the wildlife problem that is likely to be created from the clearing of the subject property. Specifically, her concern regarded the increase in rats that come onto her property and into her house. James Knannlein, resident. Mr. Knannlein testified that the quality of the lake has gone down as a result of oth:-r projects in the vicinity, and that it will continue to be adversely impacted if this project is approved. In addition he pointed out that there are significant important wildlife in the area, specifically osprey and eagles, and the impact on these animals habitats needs to be addressed in an Environmental Impact Statement prior to any further action on the project_ Duncan Blanchard, resident. Mr. Blanchard testified primarily to his concerns regarding water retention on the subject property and the overflow of the lake that is likely to occur upon clearing the property and increasing impervious surfaces. He stated that he has installed more retention devices on his property for a single home than what is proposed for 16 homes. Barbara Hartloff, resident. Ms. Hartloff was primarily concerned with the deterioration of the quality of the lake, how overflow damages the properties, and how even minimal runoff makes a big impact on the lake, and by extension, the property owners. In addition she pointed out that the property owners on the lake were the ones responsible for its upkeep, that there is no City involvement or funds involved, and that this project will impact each of those property owners' interests. She also stated her belief that an untested idea like the rain garden is simply not enough to prevent harm to the lake. William Murphy, resident. ( 8FP707808.DOC;1 /I 3041.150015/} Preliminary Plat Recommendation P. 3 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation _ 0— Mr. Murphy has been involved in trying to clean the lake up for the past thirty years, and believes they have made progress, but that this project will be detrimental to any gain that has been made. Fish have been added to the lake, which have brought eagles and osprey to the area, but harm to the lake and clearing of the property will negatively impact that relationship. In regards to the City, he believes that they have upheld the Code, and are not protecting the residents, the property, or the environment. Additionally, he believes that the applicant has been deceptive in what he has presented to the community. Finally, he stated that even if the Hearing Examiner cannot hear a SEPA appeal, he is able to deny the proposal as it currently stands. Ann Dower, Federal Way Senior Engineering Plans Reviewer. Ms. Dower currently works in the City Public Works Department, and has been there for 10 years, she is not a P.E., but has many years of experience working at that level. Ms. Dower specifically addressed the issue of stormwater for the project. She testified that the applicant has provided sufficient geotechnical reports and infiltration tests for the water situation, and that King County and the State Department of Ecology have advocated for this type of infiltration system in developments. She, and the rest of City staff, believes that the proposed system of several rain gardens, pervious pavement, infiltration gallery below the pavement, current soil conditions, and retention trenches will be a successful management system for the project. In response to a question from the Examiner regarding the longevity of this type of system, she is confident that the systems will work for this site, and that they will take care of the 100 -year storm and beyond, as well as cover level 3 flow control and phosphorous flow into the lake. Also, she pointed out that infiltration systems in general, the category that rain gardens fall into, are the best method for controlling and filtering phosphorous. In addition, she stated that the development process is not finished, and that she and her department will continue to work with the applicant to further perfect the system. In response to Examiners question regarding monitoring of the system, she did state that monitoring issues have not been addressed at this stage, although she would be open to monitoring conditions, but that bonding will be required, and is also a proposed condition in the staff report. In addition, she said that because of the available open space planned for on the site, it would be possible to move the rain gardens or enlarge them if some type of failure does occur; however she does not see this as a likely occurrence. When asked by the Examiner about the water quality of the lake, she stated that there is a Public Works Department study from 2005 that indicates no trend towards degradation of the Mirror Lake water quality, and that no degradation is foreseen as a result of this project. In response to Mr. Garcia's concerns, Ms. Dower stated that the design standards require that water be captured and treated, that the design does not impact neighboring properties with erosion problems, and that if the impacts on Mr. Garcia's property can be addressed in this project, that will be done during future planning with the applicant. Finally, in response to Mr. Roper's letter, she stated that she generally disagrees with its content, and that many departments within the City have reviewed setbacks proposed for the project. Some of his concerns are also specifically addressed in Exhibit H-3; and that other aspects of the staff report also address many of his, and other resident's, concerns. EXHIBITS See list of exhibits at p. 19 of the September 19, 2008, staff report prepared by Deb Barker. In addition, the following exhibits were presented and entered into the record during public hearing: ( B F P707808. DOC;1 / 13041.150015/ ) Preliminary Plat Recommendation p. 4 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation Y: Letter from David Toner Z: Letter from Bob Roper Z-1: Letter from Eden Toner Z-2: Letter from Marla Ledin Z-3: Email from Marla Ledin FINDINGS OF FACT Procedural: Ap lip cant. The applicant is Bill McCaffrey of WJM Studios. 2. Hearing. The Hearing Examiner conducted a hearing on the application at 2:00 p.m. at Federal Way City Hall on September 26, 2008. Substantive: 3. Site/Proposal Description. The applicant proposes to subdivide an approximate 1.85 acre parcel of land into 16 -lots for establishment of single-family cottage housing units. The site, which consists of five parcels for a total of 1.85 acres, is a long and narrow parcel, 109 feet wide by 716 feet deep, with frontage onto SW 312th Street and 6th Place SW. A small house on the southernmost portion will be removed with plat development; the rest of the site is vacant. A 7 - foot wide portion of the property extends northward approximately 140 feet, which has been referred to as the panhandle on the site. The site is located in the central portion of the Citi, north of SW 312th Street and east of 6th Place SW. The site is accessed from 6th Place SW off of SW 312th Street. The subject site has a land area of .80,598 square feet. The project was submitted as a potential cottage housing project in January of 2007, in order to be selected to advance the formal development of the Cottage Housing demonstration project. in this process, it was established that 8 traditional single-family homes could be situated on the parcels. The original cottage estimate was for 14 units, but upon purchasing additional land, the City approved the modification to allow for 16 units. As the development of the site will create additional runoff from new impervious surfaces such as streets, driveways, and rooftops, the plan proposes the use of pervious pavement systems, shallow infiltration basins and trenches, rain gardens and other techniques to be implemented in order to prevent further runoff impacts. In addition, the property, based on a Forestry evaluation, the site contains two forest cover types; a fully stocked stand of second growth timber in the northern portion of the site, with conditions ranging from very poor to good, and the area around the existing house consists of scattered individual or clusters of evergreen trees, and the understory is grass and weeks, with conditions ranging from very poor to very good. There are also 63 significant trees located on the subject site, of which the applicant has proposed removing all of them in addition to removal ,of most of the other vegetation on the site. Tree replacement has been proposed with the installation of 28 evergreen trees ten feet in height at the time of planting, and further vegetation replanting. Also on the site are deer and songbirds, as well as nuisance species such as skunks, raccoons, feral cats, and rodents. ( BFP707808.DOC; 1113041.150015/ } Preliminary Plat Recommendation p. 5 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation 4. Characteristics of the Area. The property is situated in the central portion of the City in an already developed single-family residential area. The site is generally surrounded by residential properties developed with single-family residences on lots ranging from 6,969 square feet to 20,150 square feet in size. The 18 -acre church property to the east contains a sanctuary with daycare facility, a community building, a school building, and several small rental cottages throughout the large site. Lots sought of the subject site front onto Mirror Lake, and lots west of the site front onto 6th Place SW, which is a private easement roadway. Mirror Lake is a regulated lake as defined under Federal Way Code, and is located approximately 160 feet south of the subject site. SW 312th Street and a row of developed residential lots separate the proposed cottage development from the lake. However, one of the underlying lots of the project is the beneficiary of a ten -foot -wide easement to Mirror Lake. Additionally, the zoning of the surrounding area is the same as the subject property, RS 7.2, Single -Family - High Density. 5. Adverse Impacts. The surrounding community has expressed several concerns about the impacts of the project. Staff have thoroughly addressed all of those issues in their report and testimony. Infrastructure issues are addressed in more detail in Finding Fact No. 6. Other impacts are addressed below: A. Easement. Some community members expressed concern about the overuse of an easement that allows lake access to a portion of the subject property. It is believed that the drafters of the access easement never intended it to allow access to multiple users, as would occur if this project is approved. The scope of the easement is a private issue between the future owners of the subject property and those others who have rights to Mirror Lake. The issue is not germane to this permit application. B. Water Quality. The adequacy of the proposed stormwater detention facility is addressed under Finding of Fact No. 6 below in regard to infrastructure. Water quality is addressed here as a separate environmental impact. Several citizens, most notably Bob Roper, expressed concern over impacts on water quality. Mr. Roper, a chemical engineer with extensive experience in monitoring water quality in Mirror Lake, testified that the rain gardens proposed by the applicant are experimental and it is unclear whether they will adequately protect Mirror Lake from water quality problems. Ann Dower, from the Public Work's department, has ten years of experience in assessing the adequacy of stormwater systems. She noted that a 2005 study of Mirror Lake water quality found no trend towards degradation and that she and others in Public Works who have assessed the project see no threat to water quality from the proposed project. Ms. Dower stated that the stormwater system proposed by the applicant is actually the best suited of the types available for preventing phosphorous contamination of the lake. She also noted that the system has been subjected to extensive geotechnical analysis. Given the expertise and testimony of staff and the thorough analysis conducted for the design of the stromwater system, the Examiner finds that the; system is adequately designed to prevent any material water quality degradation of Mirror Lake. Mr. Roper noted that the King County Stormwater Drainage Manual, applicable to this development, does not have compulsory requirements for inspections of system performance or correction of deficiencies. Mr. Roper points out that the Manual authorizes the review authority to impose additional conditions based upon site specific conditions. In her testimony Ms. Dower stated that she was open to conditions that required monitoring. The Examiner will condition the (B FP707808. DOC;1 / 13041.150015/ ) Preliminary Plat Recommendation p. 6 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation project to include a monitoring plan and to allow the City to correct deficiencies if they are not timely corrected by the property owners. These obligations will be recorded upon the property. This condition is intended to address both water quality control and water flow. C. Tree Retention. All trees will be removed from the property, but the applicant will replant 28 evergreen ten or more feet taller. Staff have found this to be consistent with the City's tree regulations and project opponents have not identified any code provision that is violated by the clearing of the existing trees. Further, there is nothing in the record to suggest anything unique about the trees that would warrant protection beyond that required by Federal Way regulations. For these reasons, there is no justification to require any additional tree mitigation_ D. Wildlife. Concerns were raised about native wildlife, such as deer, songbirds, skunks, raccoons, feral cats, and rodents. None of these species are designated as threatened or endangered under federal regulations and they are not protected under Federal Way regulations. Comments were made about eagle sightings in the area but there is no evidence to suggest that there is any eagle habitat on the property that would be affected by the project. Concerns were also raised that displaced wildlife would become a nuisance to adjoining properties, but there was no evidence presented to support this issue. Impacts on wildlife are either not adverse or there is no legal basis to mitigate against the impact. 6. Adequacy of Infrastructure and Public Services_ As mitigated by staff, adequate infrastructure will serve development as follows: • Transportation: As proposed and as required by the Federal Way City Code ("FWCC"), all internal and external roadways shall be improved to all applicable FWCC street standards, and rights -of -ways must be dedicated by Statutory Warranty Deed to the City of Federal Way. As shown on the plat cross-section, streets are designed in accordance with the City's February 9, 2007, right-of-way modification granted by the Public Works Department. The section for 6`h Place SW is a section `W' and includes 20 -foot pavement width, vertical curb and gutter, four -foot planter strips, five -foot -wide sidewalks, three-foot utility strip, streetlights, and street trees. This property will remain private but will be set aside in a "Tract V for possible future dedication to the public, and parking will not be allowed in the tract. The section for SW 312`h Street is a section "K" and includes a 78 -foot -wide right-of-way, 44 -foot pavement width, vertical curb and gutter, six-foot planter strips, eight -foot - wide sidewalks, five-foot bike lanes, streetlights, and street trees. Submitted plans demonstrate how the full street section can be constructed within the right-of-way. A sight distance analysis was provided and reviewed by the City. The approved internal roadway cross section follows those of private road serving 13 or more lots and consists of 24 feet of pavement, 5 -foot wide sidewalk on both sides, and a minimum easement width of 34 -feet. The City granted a modification to eliminate sidewalks on one side of the private roadway. Both the City's Traffic Engineer and South King Fire and Rescue reviewed the submitted plans and concluded that the proposed street layout of the Mirror Lake Highland Cottage subdivision is consistent with the adopted codes and comprehensive plan. (B F P 707808. DOC; U 13041.1500151) Preliminary Plat Recommendation p. 7 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation —5-7 • Vehicular Access and Circulation: Primary vehicular access to the site will be provided via 6`h Place SW off of SW 312`h Street. The applicant will dedicate land to the 6`h Place SW frontage, will construct the half street to meet city standards, and will establish a Tract X for future dedication. 6`h Place SW will remain private until such a time as required by the City. No direct vehicular access will be allowed to SW 312`h Street. No dedication is required along SW 312`h Street as that portion of street contains a section of unopened right-of-way. The internal driveway shall be improved to a private roadway standard. Pursuant to FWCC street improvement standards, applicable SW 312`h Street improvements must be dedicated to the City of Federal Way for right-of-way and the public and private streets must be improved to applicable City standards. The northern extension of Weyerhaeuser Way and the northern extension of 32"' Avenue South, both from South 320"' Street. The 32"' Avenue South right-of-way is outside Federal Way corporate boundaries, but will be constructed in accordance with King County standards as a part of the preliminary plat improvements. To comply with FWCC Section 20-151, which requires block perimeters no longer than 1,320 feet for non -motorized trips and 2,640 feet for streets, South 317th Street within the plat is stubbed to extend to the north in conjunction with future development. Pursuant to FWCC street improvement standards, all street improvements must be dedicated to the City of Federal Way for right-of-way and must be improved to applicable City standards, except private access and private alley tracts. • Pedestrian System: As proposed and required, the plat complies with the FWCC subdivision code requirements for on- and off-site pedestrian circulation; providing cottage housing requirements for on and off-site pedestrian circulation; providin pedestrian pathways the length and width of the project as well as along SW 312 Street and 6`h Place SW frontage. The new sidewalks will connect to existing paved roadway shoulders on 6`h Pace SW and SW 312`h Street. • Open Space: There will be both common and private open space within the project site. The proposed Cottage and Compact Single -Family Housing Development requires 8,000 square feet of open space for the 16 unites based on a 500 square feet per unit standard. Provided common open space is 10,431 square feet and rain garden open space is 4,087 square feet for a total of 14,518 square feet of common open space. The common open space includes established garden areas, a pea patch, and a 560 square -foot community building, landscaped pedestrian corridors, and includes rain gardens that incorporate pedestrian trails, seating and landscaping. Of this, 22% is in common sidewalks. Mr. Roper asserts in his testimony that the rain gardens have been incorrectly used to count towards the open space requirements for the project. As noted by the applicant, however, the project complies with open space requirements even if the rain gardens are not counted. The three open space "clusters" will "be established in tracts to be owned in common by the owners of the Cottage Housing Development. There will also be front yard open space areas that area Iminimum of 9 -feet deep, located between a porch and the property line ranging in size from 403 square feet to 832 square feet. These private yards will be separated from common areas with low fencing and will be planted and maintained by individual homeowners. (BFP707808.DOC;1 /13041.150015/) Preliminary Plat Recommendation p. 8 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation • Drainage: Development of this site will create additional runoff from new impervious surfaces such as streets, driveways, and rooftops. Storm drainage facilities are being designed in accordance with Low Impact Development (LID) options from the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual ("KCSWDM") and as modified by the City. The applicant's storm drainage Preliminary Technical Information Report and Level I Drainage Analysis were reviewed and approved by the City's Public Works Department. According to the reports, runoff from the site currently goes into a ditch along SW 312`h Street, and crosses under SW 312`h Street to discharge into Mirror Lake. This system drains into Fishers Bog to the south, and ultimately to Lakota Creek and Puget Sound. Proposed LID techniques depicted on submitted plans are to reduce impervious surfaces, use pervious pavement for sections of the private road, increase stormwater infiltration to the maximum extent feasible through the use of shallow infiltration basins and trenches, allow soil amendment to provide a good growth medium and enhance treatment of stormwater to be infiltrated, and infiltrate stormwater runoff from roof areas through the use of individual infiltration trenches. Stormwater design and plat drainage elements must conform to the standards, policies, and practices of the City of Federal Way's Surface Water Management Division as outlined in the KCSWDM, the Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan, and the Stormwater System Operation and Maintenance Manual. The approved storm drainage facilities must be constructed per City code requirements, prior to final plat approval and recording of the subdivision. Final review and approval of the storm drainage facilities as shown on the engineering plan will occur in conjunction with full drainage review. • In his written materials, Mr_ Roper takes issue with a decision issued by Ann Dower waiving the five foot setback requirement for the rain gardens. FWCC 21-23 only allows the applicant to appeal these decisions and the appeal must be heard by the Public Works Director. The Examiner and Council have no authority to entertain an appeal of this decision. • Water: The applicant proposes to serve the subdivision with a public water supply and distribution system managed by the Lakehaven Utility District. The December 7, 2007, Certificate of Water Availability indicates Lakehaven's capacity to serve the proposed development through a Developer Extension Agreement (DEA). • Sewage: The applicant proposes to serve the proposed plat by a public sewer system managed by Lakehaven Utility District. A December 7, 2008, Certificate of Sewer Availability indicates the district's capacity to serve the proposed development through a Developer Extension Agreement (DEA) between the applicant and the district. The applicant will be extending the sewer to the far edge of the subject site, and may provide opportunities for other properties to hook up to the sewer on a latecomer basis. • Schools: As part of the City's review of the proposal, the preliminary plat application was referred to the Federal Way School District for review. A March 31, 2008, school access analysis submitted by the applicant indicates that the site is located in the service areas of Lake Grove Elementary, Lakota Middle School, and Federal Way (B FP707808. D0C;1 / 13041.15(1015! ) Preliminary Plat Recommendation P. 9 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation High School. School service areas are reviewed annually and may be adjusted to accommodate enrollment growth and new development. Middle and elementary school students will walk to school as these schools are within one mile of the subject site, while high school students will be bused to school. Lakota Middle School students will walk west along SW 312th Street to the middle school, crossing SW 3121h at 8`h Avenue SW in a marked crosswalk. Lake Grove Elementary and Federal Way high School students will walk north along 6`h Place SW to SW 308`h Street. The Lake Grove students will continue east to the school grounds within a path separated from the vehicular travel lane by a curb. High school students will catch the school bus at SW 308`h and 8`h .Avenue SW. Bus stops are subject to change, as student needs increase and roads are developed. School impact fees will be collected at the time of building permit issuance. Currently those fees amount to $3,883.00 plus a $194.00 City administrative fee per single-family housing unit. School impact fees are determined on the basis of the District's Capital Facilities Plan and are subject to annual adjustment and update. • Fire Protection: South King Fire and Rescue requires that a fire hydrant be located within 350 feet of each lot. If this condition cannot be met, the houses require sprinklers. In the case of the long narrow lot, hydrant access is limited, so all of the houses, garages and other buildings will be required to contain sprinkler systems prior to final inspection. The Certificate of Water Availability from Lakehaven Utility District indicates that water will be available to the site in sufficient quantity to satisfy : fire flow standards I for the proposed development. The exact number and location of fire hydrants will be reviewed and approved by South King Fire and Rescue. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Procedural: 1. Authority of Hearing Examiner: FWCC 20-110 (4) and (5) provide the Examiner with the authority to conduct a hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council on preliminary plat applications. State Environmental Policy Act ("SEPA") Review: SEPA review would be subject to challenge if notice of the SEPA threshold decision (issuance of the DNS) did not follow code requirements. Community members raise an interesting notice argument in on this issue. Mirror Lake, which is within 300 feet of the proposal, is owned by all the members of the Mirror Lake Resident's Association. FWCC 18.49(a)(1) requires. the City to provide notice of a threshold determination to all "...owners of real property as shown in the records of the county assessor located within 300 feet of the site..." As noted -in Exhibit L-3, notice of the SEPA threshold determination was mailed to the president of the Mirror Lake Resident's Association. There is no case law in Washington State that directly addresses this type of situation. In general, the constitutional requirements for notice in permit hearings is to.provide notice that is reasonably calculated to apprise affected parties ofa pending action to afford them an opportunity to present objection. See, e.g., Pease Hill Community Group v County of Spokane, 62 Wn. App. 800 (1991). The members of the Resident's Association managed their ownership rights through their Residents's { B FP707808. D0C;1 / 13041.150015/ ) Preliminary Plat Recommendation p. 10 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation Association. Under the reasonableness standard of due process, notifying the President of that Association was an appropriate means of providing notice to the membership. "Reasonableness" is a concept that works for all participants in the land use process and it would be unreasonable to expect a municipal entity to asecertain the identify of all members of an organization with ownership rights to a parcel of property and then mail eachmember notice. The President of the Association was in a much better position to provide this notice than the City. Substantive: 2. Zoning Designation: Single -Family — High Density, RS7.2. 3. Review Criteria and Application. FWCC 20-126(c) governs the criteria for preliminary plat approval. Those criteria are quoted in italics below and applied to the application under corresponding Conclusions of Law. FWCC 20-126(c): Decisional Criteria. A Hearing Examiner shall use the following criteria in reviewing the preliminary plat and may recommend approval of the plat to the City Council if (1) It is consistent with the comprehensive plan; 4. The application is subject to the adopted Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP), which designates the property as Single -Family — High Density.

As proposed, and with conditions as recommended by staff, the preliminary plat will comply with all provisions of the chapter. FWCC 20-126(c)(3): It is consistent with public health, safety, and welfare. 6. As discussed in detail in the Findings of Fact, all adverse impacts associated with the proposal are fully mitigated and all infrastructure needs are met. The proposed Cottage Housing preliminary plat would permit development of the site consistent with the current Single -Family High Density land use classification of the FWCP and map. Proposed access and fire hydrant locations must meet all requirements of South King Fire and Rescue, and all future structures are required to be sprinklered. Under these conditions the project is designed and conditioned to ensure protection of the public health, safety, and welfare.. FWCC 20-126(c)(4): It is consistent with the design criteria listed in FWCC 20-2: (B FP707808. DOC; 1/13041-150015/) Preliminary Plat Recommendation P. 11 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation 7. The proposed preliminary plat would promote the purposes identified in FWCC Section 20-2 and the standards and regulations therein, as identified in the staff report, including effective use of land, promotion of safe and convenient travel on streets, provision for the housing needs of the community, protection of environmentally sensitive areas, and preservation of approximately 18% of the site as common open space. As proposed, and with conditions as recommended, the plat application complies will all provisions of the chapter. FWCC 20-2: This chapter is adopted in furtherance of the comprehensive plan of the City. 7t is hereby declared that the regulations contained in this chapter are necessary to (1) Promote the health, safety and general welfare in accordance with the standards established by the state and the city; 8. As noted in the Washington State Growth Management Act, the Washington State Legislature has found it to be in the public interest to prevent urban sprawl and to promote the efficient use of infrastructure. The development proposed by the applicant at urban densities meets these objectives. Also, as previously discussed, the project, as mitigated, creates no material or significant adverse impacts and there is adequate infrastructure to meet the needs of the new development. For these reasons, the project promotes the health, safety, and general welfare in accordance with the standards established by the state and the city. FWCC 20-2(2): Promote effective use of land by preventing the overcrowding or scattered development which would injury health, safety or the general welfare due to lack of water supplies, sanitary sewer, drainage, transportation or other public services, or excessive expenditure of public funds for such services: 9. As previously noted, the project constitutes development in an area that is already characterized and developed by residential development. In addition, the project will effectively use the land, combining high-density housing with high levels of open space and on site infrastructure. Also as previously discussed, the project is served (or as conditioned will be served) by adequate infrastructure. For these reasons, the above criterion is satisfied. FWCC 20-2(4): Provide for adequate light and air. 10. The density of the project meets the density requirements for the RS7.2 zoning district. The applicant will have to comply with the dimensional requirements of the zoning code for any structures it builds in order to get through building permit review. The dimensional standards of the City's Zoning Code set the standard for adequacy of light and air and for these reasons the above criterion is satisfied. FWCC 20-2(5): Provide for water, sewage, drainage, parks and recreational areas, sites for schools and school grounds and other public requirements: 11. As noted in the Findings of Fact, the project is served by adequate infrastructure, in order to properly serve new residents as well as to prevent degradation of current services to existing residents of the area. FWCC 20-2(5): Provide for proper ingress and egress: {BPP707808.DOC;1113041.150015/) Preliminary Plat Recommendation p. 12 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation 12. According to staff, as conditioned, access to all lots will comply with City design standards. The widening of 6i1' Place SW will aid in available safe access to the subject property. FWCC 20-2(7): Provide for housing and commercial needs of the community: 13. The project constitutes a development at urban densities, and therefore satisfies the above criteria. In addition, the project is a Cottage Housing Demonstration project that will serve as a model for future developments of the same type, which will help meet the long term economic and housing growth in the future. FWCC 20-2(8): Require uniform monumenting of land divisions and conveyance of accurate legal descriptions.- 14. escriptions:14. FWCC 20-11 l(b) requires that the survey of the proposed subdivision must be made by or under the supervision of a registered land surveyor who shall certify that it is a true and correct representation of the land surveyed. This and other requirements like it help ensure that the objective of uniform monumenting of land divisions and accurate legal descriptions are satisfied. FWCC 20-2(9): Protect environmentally sensitive areas: 15. As noted previously, the project has gone through a review under the State Environmental Policy Act, which ensures that all environmentally sensitive areas are protected and mitigated. No appeal has been filed in regards to the SEPA determination, and although concerns regarding the sensitivity of Mirror Lake have been raised, the LID and other development techniques have been employed that will minimize adverse environmental impacts. Although residents are concerned about the adverse impacts to their individual properties, as, well as to the Lake itself, the project has been properly reviewed and mitigated in order to prevent such damages from occurring. In addition, further review of the engineering site plan will take place prior to construction and final approval of the plat. FWCC 20-2(10): Provide for flexibility and site design to accommodate view enhancement, protection, protection of streams and wetlands, protection of steep slopes and other environmental significant or sensitive areas. 16. The project incorporates features designed to comply with the above criterion. The LID has been utilized to specifically address the protection of the environment and sensitive areas. There are also no streams, wetlands, or steep slopes on the project site. FWCC 20-125(c)(5): It is consistent with the development standards listed in FWCC 20-151 through 20-157, and 20-178 through 20-187 17. Development of this site is required to comply with the provisions of FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions"; Chapter 18, "Environmental Protection"; Chapter 22, "Zoning"; and all other applicable local and state development codes and regulations. As proposed, and as recommended by City staff, the preliminary plat application complies with all applicable statutes, codes, and regulations. ( B FP 707808.

Property Description — The subject site, which consists of five parcels for a total of 1.85 - acres, is a long and narrow parcel, 100 feet wide by 716 feet deep, with frontage onto SW 312'h Street and 6"' Place SW. A small house on the southernmost portion will be removed with plat development; the balance of the site is vacant. A 7 -foot -wide portion of the property extends northward approximately 140 feet. The site is located in the central portion of the City, north of SW 312"' Street and east of 6"' Place SW (Exhibit E). The site is accessed from 6"' Place SW off of SW 312"' Street. The subject site has a land area of 80,598 square feet (1.85 acres). Cottage Housing — In 2006, the Federal Way City Council adopted a Cottage Housing ordinance, which authorized cottage housing on a demonstration project basis (ExhibitX— Bulletin #0611). The FWCC defined cottage housing development (CHD) as a residential lot development consisting of clusters of between 4 and 16 detached dwelling units that include cottage and compact single-family (CSF) units and which meets specific criteria that limit the size of the building, and contain requirements for common open space and specific architectural design standards. Cottage homes are restricted in square footage, but are allowed at roughly twice the density permitted by the underlying zone, are single- family ownership homes, and are characterized by home orientation to a shared central open space. As noted in the ordinance, after approved cottage housing projects have been constructed and evaluated, additional cottage housing developments may be permitted or the City Council may chose to amend or repeal the cottage housing code provisions. The Mirror Lake Highland Cottage project was submitted as a potential cottage housing project for fourteen units on January 1, 2007. As required under the Cottage Housing Ordinance, the applicant presented the proposed development to interested neighbors in a meeting on January 23, 2007. Neighborhood concerns included traffic, trees, and lake protection. The applicant submitted a pro -forma analysis that demonstrated that the property could be developed into seven traditional single-family housing parcels? The proposed CHD was analyzed for conformance with adopted selection criteria and was ' Bulletin #061 lists the requirements for CHD submittals 2 Upon purchase of additional land, the revised proforma demonstrated that eight traditional housing lots could be developed. Staff Evaluation Mirror Lake Highland (Cottages) Preliminary Plat _49 File 07-106874-00-SU/Doc. I.D. 46545. Page 2 found to be generally consistent with the purposes of the cottage housing article, was designed with sensitivity to neighboring single-family residential uses, and was an excellent example of Craftsman inspired cottage housing with appropriate design features. Following analysis and review, on April 17, 2007, the Cottage Housing Selection Committee recommended that the proposed development be selected to advance to the formal submittal phase for development of a Cottage Housing demonstration project (Exhibit F-1); subject to the following conditions: 1. Rain gardens shall be considered as usable open space only if containing formal landscaping and seating. 2. The formal application shall provide verification of open space quantity and configuration. 3. Any changes to City road standards may require the proposal to be changed. 4. The project shall meet all requirements of the 1998 KCSWDM for Level 3 Flow Control and Resource Stream Protection Menu Water Quality. If approved by the Public Works Director, the applicant may design the project using methods outlined in the 2005 KCSWDM standards for Low Impact Development (LID), but must show that Level 3 flow control and Resource Stream Protection Menu Water Quality standards will be met. The applicant may be required to provide additional bonding or maintenance provisions for methods not currently approved by the 1998 KCSWDM. In addition, site and development constraints may impact the proposed lot layout. The applicant purchased additional land and requested that a larger project be considered. On October 10, 2007, the City approved a modification to the site plan that expanded the cottage housing proposal from fourteen units to sixteen units subject to the following conditions (Exhibit F-2): 1. Lot 1 contains a garage that fronts onto 6rh Avenue SW, which does not meet FWCC Section 22-923(9)(e). The location of the garage door must be modified or a formal modification submitted. 2. Open space layout should be modified to switch unit 15 with the adjacent open space block and move the open space area bounded by parking stalls to the south to combine and increase an existing open space area. Refer to the red -lined plan. 3. All units must be sprinklered per the Fire Department, including those on SW 312`h Street. 4. The affordable units require porches per FWCC 5. Conditions from the original conditions of approval from the April 17, 2007, approval remain in effect. These conditions have guided the application through the preapplication and SEPA processes and are addressed in section VI below. 4. Lot Sizes, Density —The underlying zoning is RS 7.2, which in a traditional plat would require a minimum of 7,200 square feet. Lot sizes in cottage housing plats are not subject to minimum lot size, but are permitted twice the number of lots allowed in a typical plat based on a pro -forma analysis. Cottage housing developments must meet certain dimensional requirements such as maximum size of the unit, minimum and maximum setbacks, etc. Refer to Section 4 below for a thorough discussion of Cottage Housing.

I.D. 46545 Mirror Lake Highland (Cottages) Preliminary Plat Page 4 IV. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT A. Soils, Topography, Slopes — The 1973 King County soils survey map lists the soils type as Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam (AgB), 0-6 percent slopes. Alderwood soils are characterized as moderately well drained soils that have a weakly consolidated to strongly consolidated substratum at a depth of 24 to 40 inches. AgB soils are described as capable for urban development, runoff is slow, and erosion hazard is slight. The Geotechnical Engineering Study for Mirror Lake Highlands Development, prepared by Pacific Geo Engineering, LLC, dated December 20, 2007 (Exhibit M), notes that the site is underlain by five feet of sandy loam suitable for infiltration. Below that down to nine feet is dense to very dense glacial till. With this opportunity, the applicant has proposed to utilize `Low Impact Development' (LID) standards and fully infiltrate the stormwater runoff into the ground. Installation of the infiltration trenches and pervious pavement would require soils excavation beyond those areas typically cleared for streets, storm drainage facilities, and utility installation. Submitted documents depict grades that slope 5 feet to 15 feet, north to south. The high point is in the NW center of the property, and the site drains to a catch basin in SW 312th Street. The preliminary plat site does not have any steep slopes or any other geologically hazardous areas, as depicted on the Map of Topographic Survey, prepared by Paul Hill Mabry, December 21, 2007 (Exhibit N-1), and the Unrecorded Record of Survey, by Informed Land Survey, December 18, 2007 (Exhibit N-2). B. Vegetation Preliminary plat applications are subject to submittal and approval of a tree clearing plan and landscape plan pursuant to FWCC Section 20-158. City policy and FWCC Section 20-179 state that existing mature vegetation shall be retained to the maximum extent possible. Retained significant trees located outside of plat infrastructure areas would be regulated under FWCC Section 22-1568, "Significant Trees," at the time of individual home construction. According to the Tree Evaluation and Protection Plan prepared by Washington Forestry Consultants, dated December 18, 2007 (Exhibit O), the site contains two forest cover types. Type I is a fully stocked stand of second growth timber in the northern portion of the site, with conditions that range from very poor to good. The understory is made of shrubs and ground cover, including invasive blackberries. The Type II area is around the existing house and consists of scattered individual or clusters of evergreen trees, and the understory is grass and weeds. Conditions range from very poor to very good. Based on information from the report, there are 63 significant trees located on the subject site.6 In order to install the private roadway and the underlying LID -based infiltration system for the cottage housing lots, the applicant proposes the removal of most of the vegetation on the subject site. Pursuant to the provisions of FWCC Section 22-1568, removal of more than 75 percent of the significant trees requires replacement in the amount of 25 percent of the existing significant trees. The applicant proposes to retain four significant trees and provide significant tree replacement through installation of 28 evergreen trees ten feet in height at the time of planting, and further proposes extensive vegetation within the common areas of the preliminary plat site. 6 A significant tree is defined in the FWCC as a tree that is in good health, not detrimental to the community, and at least 12 inches in diameter 4.5 feet above the ground, not including red alder, cottonwood, poplar, or big -leaf maple. Staff Evaluation Mirror Lake Highland (Cottages) Preliminary Plat _5a_ File 07-106874-00-SU/o«. I.D. 46545 Page 5 As discussed in section VLE, Grading, below, City staff recommends conceptual approval of the proposed clearing and grading of the site, and will continue analysis during engineering review in accordance with FWCC standards. C. Stormwater Runoff and Low Impact Development (LID) — Development of the site will create additional runoff from new impervious surfaces such as streets, driveways, and rooftops. As the soils on the site are conducive to infiltration, which is a component of Low Impact Design (LID), infiltration will be used to dispose of the stormwater. The storm drainage facilities are being designed in accordance with the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), which provides opportunities for low impact development (LID) not available under the 1998 KCSWDM, which is currently adopted by the City. The subject site is required to meet Level 3 Flow Control and Resource Stream water quality standards as described in the 1998 KCSWDM. The Preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR) prepared by AHBL, dated December 2007 (Exhibit P-1) and the Level I Drainage Analysis, AHBL, December 2007 (Exhibit P-2) proposes LID techniques that are to be implemented on the site plan to include: • Reduced impervious surface through reduction of road length by providing community parking areas and pedestrian access to the unit; • Pervious pavement systems for portions of the private road; • Infiltrating stormwater runoff to the maximum extent feasible through the use of shallow infiltration basins and trenches; • Amending the soils within shallow infiltration facilities to provide a good growth medium and enhance treatment of stormwater to be infiltrated; and • Infiltrate stormwater runoff from roof area through the use of individual infiltration trenches for each structure. The January 2, 2008 Preliminary TIR Addendum Appendix B prepared by AHBL (Exhibit P-3) provided preliminary sizing calculations to illustrate the functionality of LID Best Management Practices (BMP) proposed with the proposed development. The basin map B-1 included with this addendum depicts four separate infiltration areas, pervious paving, roof area infiltration through trench systems, the 6th Place SW and SW 3120'right-of-way infiltrated using trenches, and remaining landscaped areas collected and infiltrated on site in order to meet the Level 3 flow control requirements. Rain gardens are proposed in conjunction with other LID practices (Exhibit P-4). Refer to section IKC below for additional information. D. Wildlife and Habitat — The applicant noted in the SEPA checklist (Exhibit J) that deer and songbirds exist on the subject property, that the planting of native vegetation on the site will enhance wildlife habitat opportunities, and that no threatened or endangered species are known to be on or near the subject site. The northern portion of the subject property is wooded and a neighbor registered concern about development impacts to wildlife species, such as skunks, raccoons, feral cats, and rodents. These species are typically considered as nuisance species and not regulated nor protected by Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). Various measures to control or remove nuisance wildlife species are available. Staff Evaluation File 07-106874-00-SU/Doc. I.D. 46545 Minor Lake Highland (Cottages) Preliminary Plat Page 6 -- 53 - V. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS A. Vicinity — The property is situated in the central portion of the City in an already developed single-family residential area. The site contains one small house that will be removed during site construction. The site is generally surrounded by residential properties developed with single-family residences on lots ranging from 6,969 square feet to 20,150 square feet in size. The 18 -acre church property to the east contains a sanctuary with daycare facility, a community building, a school building, and several small rental cottages throughout the large site. Lots south of the subject site front onto Mirror Lake, and lots west of the site front onto 6"' Place SW, which is a private easement roadway. B. Mirror Lake — Mirror Lake, a regulated lake as defined under Federal Way City Code Section 22-1, Definitions, is located approximately 160 feet south of the subject site. SW 312'' Street and a row of developed residential lots separates the propose cottage development from the lake. In the SEPA checklist, the applicant noted that one of the underlying lots is the beneficiary of a ten -foot -wide easement to Mirror Lake, and stated that "at this time there are no plans for improvements to the Mirror Lake access easement for the five benefited homes." The easement to the lake is a private matter. Further, the applicant has not included Mirror Lake or the easement when demonstrating how the common open space requirements are met for cottage housing development. VI. PRELIMINARY PLAT DESIGN/COTTAGE AND COMPACT SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT A. Cottage Housing Development Standards — As noted above, cottage housing development (CHD) is intended to provide small lot residential development characterized by home orientation to a shared central open space. Demonstration projects are required to comply with development standards of FWCC Section 22-923. Under FWCC Section 22-923(15)(f), for those CHD's that are processed as formal subdivisions, all development standards of this article shall be reviewed as a component of the preliminary plat review process. The proposed development is designed to comply with cottage housing development standards as discussed below: (1) Development size — The cottage housing is proposed on a parcel that totals 1.85 acres, which is in excess of the .75 -acre minimum. The development is arranged to feature three clusters of four or more units to address code standards. Two affordable housing units are to be established with the proposed development, allowing it to include up to 16 dwelling units. (2) Locational criteria — CHD units must be separated from existing CHD units by 660 feet. Currently, there are no CHD housing units in Federal Way. The City has received two formal applications for CHD projects; both are located east of Pacific Highway South. However, the location of these units is almost two miles from the subject property and the location requirements for the Mirror Lake cottage housing project are considered to be met. (3) Calculation of units — The applicant submitted a pro -forma analysis that demonstrated that the land assembled for this proposal could be developed into eight traditional single-family housing units with minimum lot sizes of 7,200 square feet. The cottage development can include up to double the amount of housing units permitted under traditional development scenarios, but no more than 16 units. There are only five of the Compact Single -Family (CSF) Staff Evaluation Mirror Lake Highland (Cottages) Preliminary Plat -54- File 07-106874-00-SU/Da. I.D. 46545 Page 7 units proposed, which does not exceed the 35 percent maximum of the total dwelling unit count, as allowed by code. (4) Units size — Floor area for the Cottage Housing Development (CHD) units is proposed between 1,090 square feet and 1,096 square feet, meeting the 800 to 1,100 square feet size regulations for CHD. The Compact Single -Family (CSF) units are proposed between 1,289 square feet and 1,292 square feet, meeting the 1,100 square feet to 1,300 square feet regulations for CSF. The applicable floor area for all units is within surrounding exterior walls and does not include porches or those areas that are less than six feet in height. (5) Common open space — The proposed Cottage and Compact Single -Family Housing Development requires 8,000 square feet of open space for the 16 units based on a 500 square feet per unit standard. Drawing sheet A -lb (Exhibit A-4) notes that provided open space is 10,431 square feet and rain garden open space is 4,087 square feet for a total open space amount of 14,518 square feet. The common open space includes established garden areas, a pea patch, and a 560 square -foot community building, landscaped pedestrian corridors, and includes rain gardens that incorporate pedestrian trails, seating and landscaping. Of this, 22% is in common sidewalks. The applicant notes that the required minimum amount of required open space is provided without incorporating areas established as rain gardens. The three open space "clusters" will be established in tracts to be owned in common by the owners of the CHD. (6) Private open space — Sheet A -lb (Exhibit A-4) depicts front yard open space areas that are a minimum of nine feet deep, located between a porch and the property line ranging in size from 403 square feet (unit 13) to 832 square feet (unit 2). These private yards will be separated from common areas with low fencing and will be planted and maintained by individual home owners. (7) Site design — As required under FWCC, at least 12 of the units abut landscaped and common open spaces including rain garden areas, and common open space areas include dwelling units on at least two sides. Submitted surveys demonstrate that there are no slopes that exceed 15 percent. Clearing and grading is proposed within the majority of the subject site in order to install the internal driveway, utilities and storm drainage improvements, which consist of a series of infiltration trenches and rain gardens located outside of the small lot areas. Retaining walls are shown on the Civil plan between the CHD residential lots. In a June 20, 2008, letter from the applicant (Exhibit R), the applicant noted that fill and re -grading is used to fit flat first floors into sloping hillsides, and retaining walls are incorporated to establish "usable" side yards as encouraged by focus groups employed by the applicant. However, as noted in the letter, the applicant has continued to work with his engineer to reduce or eliminate the need for retaining walls. To this end, it is recommended that the project be conditioned so that the engineering plans depict a reduction in retaining walls throughout the site within reason, and that rockeries or retaining walls reflect CHD scale and residential themes including use of texture, vegetation and/or terracing. (8) Design standards — As depicted on architectural sheets, each dwelling unit has a roof pitch of 10:12, which exceeds the minimum 6:12 roof pitch called out under FWCC. Dormer windows which account for less than 35% of the roof area are at a 4:12 roof pitch. Units 1 and 2, which abut the SW 312th right-of-way, each have a primary entry and porch over 100 square feet in area oriented to the street per FWCC. All units have a primary or secondary covered entry to common open space areas, including a vegetated pedestrian corridor or a vegetated rain garden. The pedestrian corridor to lot 13 consists of only the paved portion, with little or no Staff Evaluation Mirror Lake Highland (Cottages) Preliminary Plat _551- File 07-106874-00-SU/rb.. I.D. 46545 Page 8 abutting vegetation. This can be adjusted by reorienting the lot 14 porch access and reshaping these lots 13 and 14. Staff recommends that prior to final plat approval, common open space around lot 13 shall be increased by reorienting unit 14 porch access to the south open space area, and reallocating the common area lot area along lot 13. All porches are a minimum 6 feet deep per FWCC. Building elevations depict residential units that are well proportioned and which do not look like "tall skinny houses," and which include ridge height -to -width ratios that do not exceed 1:1. Attached garages are proposed on lot 1 and lot 16. The garage on lot 16 abuts the internal driveway. In a May 12, 2008 letter, the Director of Community Development Services approved a requested modification to the lot #1 garage, approving the garage location abutting 6a' Place SW, a private street (Exhibit Q). (9) Parking — The five CSF units require ten parking stalls or two per unit, and the 11 Cottage units require 20 parking stalls or 1.8 per unit, for a total of 30 parking stalls. The applicant proposes 30 parking stalls to be provided with two attached garages, five free-standing garages for four cars each, and eight at -grade parking stalls. No on -street parking is permitted on 6t'' Place SW or along SW 3120' Street, and there are no carports proposed with this application. As required under code, the free-standing garages have a minimum 6:12 roof pitch, and garage doors face internal driveways except as modified. Free-standing garages separate the common areas and dwelling units from the internal driveway, and at -grade parking stalls are separated by landscape areas or buildings. Parking areas do not occupy street frontage except for the lot 1 garage, which fronts a private roadway. Surface parking is set back more than ten feet from side and rear property lines, and is screened from adjacent roadways and residential uses by common area landscaping and fencing. (10) Height — The applicant has submitted plan sheets that depict cottage units that meet the maximum 18 -foot height as defined under FWCC Section 22-1 Height of structure; in no case does the ridge of any roof exceed 24 feet average building elevation (ABE) (Exhibit B). This is due in part to the broad gable roof and the inclusion of bedrooms on the ground floor. As previously noted, the applicant proposes to utilize infiltrative soils conditions and install LID - based infiltration systems throughout the common areas of the site. Those areas for future building location are also proposed to be graded in conjunction with infrastructure installation. Due to the small size of each building lot and the proposed LID -based grading concept, the city has determined that the lowest elevation used in determining ABE height measurement will be established after final grading following installation of the infiltration system. (11) Setbacks and building separation — Setbacks shown on Sheet A -lb (Exhibit A-4) depict required front, side, and rear yard setbacks. The front yards for lots 3 through 16 are oriented to one or more common open space areas. Decks less than 18 inches in height are proposed to intrude into the side yards of most lots no more than five feet, as permitted under FWCC Section 22-1133(3). (12) Lot coverage — Sheet A -lb (Exhibit A-4) demonstrates that the total site coverage of the 80,598 square -foot lot is 46.2 percent, or 37,267 square feet, well under the 60 percent maximum. (13) Affordable housing bonus for developments that exceed 12 units — Two affordable housing units are proposed with this development to increase unit count. As stated in FWCC, one half of all dwelling units over 12 shall be affordable and the cottage housing units shall be sold at a price that is affordable for a two -person household with an annual income equal to or less than 80% of the County median income level (Exhibit Aq. Units 7 and 13 are proposed to be established as affordable units of cottage housing, with the same materials and exterior Staff Evaluation Mirror Lake Highland (Cottages) Preliminary Plat -5(o— File 07-106874-00-SU/nog. I.D. 46545 Page 9 appearance as market rate units. In order to address affordable housing requirements, it is recommended that prior to final plat approval, the applicant shall provide a covenant to be reviewed and approved by the City that establishes a minimum of two affordable cottage housing units as affordable housing based on adopted cottage housing standards; and include a condition that prior to building permit issuance, staff shall confirm that the affordable cottage units have the same materials and exterior appearance as the market rate units. (14) Common area maintenance — There are extensive common areas involved with this proposal, including several rain garden areas that function in concert with infiltration systems. It is recommended that prior to final plat approval, covenants and controls that demonstrate continued care and maintenance of all CHD common areas with authority and funding for on- going maintenance shall be in place. This shall include provisions for long-term maintenance of the common building and free-standing garages. (15) General provisions — As permitted under FWCC, a 560 square -foot centrally located common building that reflects residential building components is proposed for this CHD project. The single -story gabled building would contain a restroom and small kitchen. Also, as provided under FWCC Section 22-924, Modifications, the City has granted modifications to the attached garage and driveway location (Exhibit Q). Further, the City has determined that the initial conditions applied to the Cottage Housing demonstration project (Exhibit F-1) and subsequent modification to the Cottage Housing demonstration project (Exhibit F-2) have been addressed as follows: April 17, 2007 conditions of approval: The proposed rain gardens contain formal landscaping and seating and therefore can be considered as usable open space; the formal application provided the open space quantity and configuration on sheet A -lb; changes to the City road standards have been incorporated into the project design; and to date, documents prepared by AHBL support the project ability to infiltrate and meet Level 3 flow control and Resource stream protection menu water quality standards. As noted in the original condition, additional bonding or maintenance provisions for methods not currently approved under the adopted 1998 KCSWDM may be required. October 10. 2007 conditions of approval: The applicant applied for and received a modification for the location of the Lot 1 garage; lot 15 and the open space layout has been modified based on comments thereby increasing the existing open space area; the final plat conditions of approval reflect the requirement that all units must be sprinklered per the Fire Department, including those on SW 312th Street and including the garages and community building; the affordable units contain porches per FWCC; and those conditions from the original conditions of approval from the April 17, 2007 approval, still remain in effect. B. Vehicular Access and Circulation — Primary vehicular access to the site will be provided via 6th Place SW off of SW 312th Street. The applicant will dedicate land to the 6th Place SW frontage, will construct the half street to meet city standards, and will establish a Tract X for future dedication. 6`h Place SW will remain private until it is required by the City. No direct vehicular access will be allowed to SW 312th Street. No dedication is required along SW 312'b Street as that portion of street contains a section of unopened right-of-way. The internal driveway shall be improved to a private roadway standard. Pursuant to FWCC street improvement standards, applicable SW 312th Street improvements must be dedicated to the City of Federal Way for right-of-way and the public and private streets must be improved to applicable City standards. Staff Evaluation Mirror Lake Highland (Cottages) Preliminary Plat _5�_ File 07-106874-00-SU/n«. I.D. 46545 Page 10 See Section VII of this report for a detailed description of the proposed roadway system and improvements. C. Pedestrian System — As proposed and required, the plat complies with the FWCC cottage housing requirements for on- and off-site pedestrian circulation; providing pedestrian pathways the length and width of the project as well as along SW 312"' Street and 6t' Place SW street frontage. The new sidewalks will connect to existing paved roadway shoulders on 6"' Place SW and SW 312'' Street. D. Clearing, Grading — Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-179, the preliminary plat is subject to approved preliminary clearing and grading plans, and all natural vegetation shall be retained on the site to be subdivided, except that which will be removed for infrastructure improvements or grading as shown on approved engineering plans. The applicant has proposed to clear and grade approximately 96 percent of the site during infrastructure construction in order to install infiltration systems, internal roads, and install utilities. With the proposed clearing and grading activities, the applicant would be removing 93 percent of the significant trees located on the site. The City recommends conceptual approval of the proposed grading and clearing request due to special circumstances of the grading required for the proposed LID infiltration systems in conjunction with the small size of the cottage housing lots. A TESC plan must be submitted with construction plans and approved by the City prior to issuance of engineering approval. E. Landscaping — The applicant's preliminary landscape plan (Exhibit D) provides landscaping as required by FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions," and FWCC Section 22-923 "Cottage Housing", including street trees along public roads and internal landscaped open space and common areas. As a recommended condition of preliminary plat approval, the applicant's final landscape plan shall be prepared in accordance with the preliminary plat conditions of approval and shall be submitted for the City's review and approval prior to issuance of engineering approval for plat improvements. FWCC Chapter 20 requires perimeter landscape buffers only when the plat abuts an incompatible zoning district. The proposed plat is bordered on all sides by single-family residential zoning; therefore, no perimeter buffers apply. Street trees, when mature, and open space vegetation will contribute to visual buffering. The applicant's Tree Evaluation and Protection Plan prepared by Washington Forestry Consultants, dated December 18, 2007, (Exhibit O) indicates that 4 of the total 63 significant trees within the proposed grading limits will be retained including those potentially located in future infrastructure areas. The applicant's preliminary landscape plan proposes to replace the significant trees in common open space areas and street trees along all external and internal roadways. VII. TRANSPORTATION A. Street Improvements — As proposed and as required by the FWCC, any required right-of-way dedication must be established through Statutory Warranty Deed to the City of Federal Way and all internal and external streets must be improved to meet all applicable FWCC street standards. As shown on the plat cross section on sheet 113, streets are designed in accordance Staff Evaluation Mirror Lake Highland (Cottages) Preliminary Plat r$— File 07-106874-00-SU/n«. I.D. 46545 Page 11 with the City's February 9, 2007, right-of-way modification granted by the Public Works Department (Exhibit S). The section for 6h Place SW is a section `W' and includes 20 -foot pavement width, vertical curb and gutter, four -foot planter strips, five -foot -wide sidewalks, three-foot utility strip, streetlights, and street trees. This property will remain private but will be set aside in a "Tract X" for possible future dedication to the public, and parking will not be allowed in the tract. The section for SW 312'b Street is a section `K' and includes a 78 -foot - wide right-of-way, 44 -foot pavement width, vertical curb and gutter, six-foot planter strips, eight -foot -wide sidewalks, five-foot bike lanes, streetlights, and street trees. Submitted plans demonstrate how the full street section can be constructed within the right-of-way. A sight distance analysis was provided and reviewed by the City. The approved internal roadway cross section follows those of private road serving 13 or more lots and consists of 24 feet of pavement, 5 -foot sidewalk on both sides, and a minimum easement width of 34 feet. The City granted a modification to eliminate sidewalks on one side of the private roadway. The City's Traffic Engineer and South King Fire and Rescue reviewed the submitted plans and concluded that the proposed street layout of the Mirror Lake Highland Cottage subdivision is consistent with the adopted codes and comprehensive plan. B. Off -Site Traffic Mitigation — This proposal has been reviewed under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) as discussed in section III of this report. King County METRO Transit Division noted that there is a bus stop on westbound SW 312a' Street, east of 60, Place SW (Exhibit K-1). If any street improvements are made to this area, the applicant will be required to incorporate a landing at this bus stop. Specifically, the applicant will be required to install a 10' x 10' landing pad that meets Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. This will be required as a condition of approval and reviewed during engineering approval. C. Concurrency — Per FWCC Chapter 19, Article IV, a concurrency permit is required for the development. At the applicant's request, a concurrency analysis was performed by the City to determine whether there is adequate roadway capacity to accommodate the development and identifies traffic mitigation consistent with RCW 82.02. The staff report of the Concurrency analysis identified sixteen (16) Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) projects impacted by one or more PM peak hour trips resulting in $64,458.00 in pro -rata mitigation necessary to address any failures of the City's Level of Service (LOS) standard. The final staff evaluation for the Concurrency application, Federal Way File #08 -106876 -00 -CN, is hereby incorporated by reference as though set forth in full.

A March 31, 2008, School Access Analysis prepared by the applicant (Exhibit 7) noted that the site is located in the service areas for Lake Grove Elementary, Lakota Middle School, and Federal Way High School. Middle and elementary school students will walk to school as these schools are within one mile of the subject site, while high school students will be bused to school. Lakota Middle School students will walk west along SW 312`h Street to the middle school, crossing SW 3120' at 8t' Avenue SW in a marked crosswalk. Lake Grove Elementary and Federal Way High School students will walk north along 6"' Place SW to SW 308'b Street. The Lake Grove students will continue east to the school grounds within a path separated from the vehicular travel lane by a curb. High school students will catch the school bus at SW 308`h and 8`b Avenue SW. Bus stops are subject to change as student needs increase and roads are developed. School service areas are reviewed annually and may be adjusted to accommodate enrollment growth and new development. School impact fees, as authorized by City ordinance and collected at the time of building permit issuance, are currently $3,883.00 (plus a $194.00 City administrative fee) per single-family housing unit.

PUBLIC SERVICES A. Schools — As part of the City's review of the proposal, the preliminary plat application was referred to the Federal Way School District for review. A March 31, 2008, School Access Analysis prepared by the applicant (Exhibit 7) noted that the site is located in the service areas for Lake Grove Elementary, Lakota Middle School, and Federal Way High School. Middle and elementary school students will walk to school as these schools are within one mile of the subject site, while high school students will be bused to school. Lakota Middle School students will walk west along SW 312`h Street to the middle school, crossing SW 3120' at 8t' Avenue SW in a marked crosswalk. Lake Grove Elementary and Federal Way High School students will walk north along 6"' Place SW to SW 308'b Street. The Lake Grove students will continue east to the school grounds within a path separated from the vehicular travel lane by a curb. High school students will catch the school bus at SW 308`h and 8`b Avenue SW. Bus stops are subject to change as student needs increase and roads are developed. School service areas are reviewed annually and may be adjusted to accommodate enrollment growth and new development. School impact fees, as authorized by City ordinance and collected at the time of building permit issuance, are currently $3,883.00 (plus a $194.00 City administrative fee) per single-family housing unit. School impact fees are determined on the basis of the District's Capital Facilities Plan and are subject to annual adjustment and update. Staff Evaluation Mirror Lake Highland (Cottages) Preliminary Plat 6-0 File 07-106874-00-SU/v«. I.D. 46545 Page 13 B. Parks & Open Space — The subject site is located in Park Planning Area A of the Federal Way PARCS Comprehensive Plan, and is approximately '/2 mile from the Lakota Park, '/4 mile from French Lake Park, '/4 mile from Lake Grove Park, and '/z mile from Fishers Bog. Under the FWCC, applications for subdivision shall provide fifteen percent of the gross land area in open space, or make a fee -in -lieu -of payment for the open space, except however, cottage housing developments are required to provide open space on site so the fee is not an option. As more fully described in section VI, the applicant is providing on-site open space to meet the cottage housing requirements for open space (See Exhibit A-4, Exhibit D and Exhibit P-4). C. Fire Protection — South King Fire and Rescue requires that a fire hydrant be located within 350 feet of each lot. If this condition cannot be met, the houses require sprinklers. In the case of the long narrow lot, hydrant access is limited, so all of the houses, garages and other buildings will be required to contain sprinkler systems prior to final inspection. The Certificate of Water Availability from Lakehaven Utility District indicates that water will be available to the site in sufficient quantity to satisfy fire flow standards for the proposed development. The exact number and location of fire hydrants will be reviewed and approved by South King Fire and Rescue. IX. UTILITIES A. Sewage Disposal — The applicant proposes to serve the proposed plat by a public sewer system managed by Lakehaven Utility District. A December 7, 2007, Certificate of Sewer Availability (Exhibit 0 indicates the district's capacity to serve the proposed development through a Developer Extension Agreement (DEA) between the applicant and the district. The applicant will be extending the sewer to the far edge of the subject site, and may provide opportunities for other properties to hook up to the sewer on a latecomer basis. B. Water Supply — The applicant proposes to serve the subdivision with a public water supply and distribution system managed by the Lakehaven Utility District. The December 7, 2007, Certificate of Water Availability (Exhibit V) indicates Lakehaven's capacity to serve the proposed development through a Developer Extension Agreement (DEA). C. Drainage Facilities — Development of the site will create additional runoff from new impervious surfaces such as streets, driveways, and rooftops. Storm drainage facilities are being designed in accordance with Low Impact Development (LID) options from the 2005 KCSWDM, and as modified by the City. The applicant's storm drainage Preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR), December 2007 (Exhibit P-1) and Level I Drainage Analysis, December 2007 (Exhibit P-2), was reviewed by the City's Public Works Department. According to the TIR, and the August 30, 2006, amendment (Exhibit P-3), runoff from the site currently goes into a ditch along SW 312th Street, and crosses under SW 312"' Street to discharge into Mirror Lake. This system drains into Fishers Bog to the south, and ultimately to Lakota Creek and Puget Sound. Proposed LID techniques depicted on submitted plans are reduced impervious surfaces; pervious pavement for sections of the private road; stormwater infiltration to the maximum extent feasible through the use of shallow infiltration basins and trenches; soil amendment to provide a good growth medium and enhance treatment of stormwater to be infiltrated (Exhibit P-4); and infiltrate stormwater runoff from roof area through the use of individual infiltration trenches. Staff Evaluation File 07-106874-00-SU/Doc. I.D. 46545 Mirror Lake Highland (Cottages) Preliminary Plat Page 14 Stormwater design and plat drainage elements must conform to the standards, policies, and practices of the City of Federal Way's Surface Water Management Division as outlined in the 1998 and the 2005 KCSWDM, the Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan, and the Stormwater System Operation and Maintenance Manual. The approved storm drainage facilities must be constructed per City code requirements, prior to final plat approval and recording of the subdivision. X. ANALYSIS OF PRELIMINARY PLAT DECISIONAL CRITERIA The FWCC establishes review procedures and decisional criteria for deciding upon various types of land use applications. Pursuant to FWCC Chapter 22, "Cottage and Compact Single -Family Housing," Section 22-923(15)(a), CHD's in RS zones are permitted as subdivisions. Pursuant to FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions," Section 20-110, preliminary plat applications are submitted to the Hearing Examiner for public hearing. The preliminary plat application and the recommendation of the Hearing Examiner are submitted to the City Council for approval or disapproval.

Future development of the plat in accordance with applicable codes and regulations will ensure protection of the public health, safety, and welfare. 4. It is consistent with the design criteria listed in FWCC Section 20-2. Staff Evaluation Mirror Lake Highland (Cottages) Preliminary Plat File 07-106874-00-SU/n«. I.D. 46545 Page 15 Staff Comment: The proposed preliminary plat would promote the purposes identified in FWCC Section 20-2 and the standards and regulations therein, as identified in the staff report, including effective use of land, promotion of safe and convenient travel on streets, provision for the housing needs of the community, protection of environmentally sensitive areas, and preservation of approximately 18 percent of the site as common open space. As proposed, and with conditions as recommended by City staff, the preliminary plat application complies with all provisions of the chapter. It is consistent with the development standards listed in FWCC Sections 20-151 through 157, and 20-158 through 187. Staff Comment: Development of this site is required to comply with the provisions of FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions"; Chapter 18, "Environmental Protection"; Chapter 22, "Zoning"; and all other applicable local and state development codes and regulations. As proposed, and as recommended by City staff, the preliminary plat application complies with all applicable statutes, codes, and regulations. XI. FINDINGS OF FACT Based on an analysis of the preliminary plat application, environmental record, and related decisional criteria, the Department of Community Development Services finds that: The proposal is to subdivide a 1.85 -acre parcel into a 16 -lot single-family cottage housing demonstration project as provided in FWCC. 2. The proposed single-family cottage housing residential subdivision is consistent with existing Federal Way zoning and comprehensive plan designations, including cottage and compact single-family housing standards for the RS-7.2/Single Family -High Density zoning district. 3. City staff received and responded to written comments received from neighbors regarding potential impacts on traffic, trees, and Mirror Lake. The comments were considered in the environmental determination on the project. 4. An Environmental Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued for this proposed action on April 16, 2008, based on the Staff Evaluation of Environmental Checklist. Three written comments were received regarding the proposed development. No appeals of the environmental determination were filed with the City. The preliminary plat was reviewed and determined to be consistent with all cottage and compact single-family housing decisional criteria set forth in FWCC Section 22-923 as well as applicable standards of preliminary plat decisional criteria including 20-126(1) through (5), including consistency with the comprehensive plan; consistency with all applicable provisions of the chapter, including those adopted by reference from the comprehensive plan; consistency with the public health, safety, and welfare; consistency with the design criteria listed in FWCC Section 20-2; and consistency with the development standards in FWCC Sections 20-151 through 20-157, and 20-178 through 20-187. 6. Lot sizes for the 16 cottage housing parcels range from 1,839 square feet to 2,674 square feet, with an average lot size of 2,235 square feet. This does not include areas set aside as garages, open space, and recreation areas. Floor area for those Cottage Housing Development (CHD) Staff Evaluation Mirror Lake Highland (Cottages) Preliminary Plat &3.— File 07-106874-00-SU/nog. I.D. 46545 Page 16 units is proposed between 1;090 square feet and 1,096 square feet. The Compact Single -Family (CSF) units are proposed between 1,289 square feet and 1,292 square feet. 7. The applicant's proposed grading plan clears the majority of the site, including 93 percent of existing significant trees, in conjunction with installation of LID -based infiltration systems and roadway and utility construction. City staff conceptually supports the proposed clearing due to the proposed LID related grading for infiltration systems and the small size of the individual cottage lots, subject to review of a final grading plan and subject to all conditions of preliminary plat approval. A TESC will be required to eliminate erosion and aesthetic issues. The applicant's significant tree inventory indicates that 4 of the 63 significant trees will be retained within the proposed grading limits. The 28 evergreen replacement trees are proposed to be installed in common open space areas featured in the development, and extensive landscaping will be provided in conjunction with development of common open space areas. 9. The development proposes to install more than 14, 518 square feet of common open space in conjunction with cottage housing development, which exceeds the required 500 square feet per cottage or compact single-family housing unit, or 8,000 square feet for the 16 units. The privately maintained open space includes established gardens, a pea patch, and a 560 square - foot community building, landscaped pedestrian corridors, and rain gardens that incorporate pedestrian trails, seating, and landscaping. The proposed cottage housing development is subject to review of final landscape plans as a condition of preliminary plat approval. 10. The applicant submitted a concurrency application that was processed by the City's Traffic Engineer. The report found that the proposed development will impact 16 of the City's Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) projects with one or more PM peak hour trips, and as a result, $64,458.00 in pro -rata mitigation must be paid to address any failures of the City's Level of Service (LOS) standard prior to final plat approval. City staff concurs with this mitigation as a recommended condition of preliminary plat approval. 11. Vehicular access into the cottage housing development will be available off of 6t' Place SW north of SW 312th Street, both of which will be widened to City standards. No direct vehicular access will be allowed directly to SW 312th Street. Plat layout provides for good vehicle and pedestrian circulation in accordance with all applicable right-of-way improvement requirements. In accordance with the FWCC, all street improvements along SW 3121b Street must be dedicated and improved to current street standards, while improvements along 61h Place SW will be maintained as private in a "Tract X." The internal driveway width of 24 feet and internal hammerhead turnaround are satisfactory for the cottage housing development. The City's Traffic Engineer has reviewed the project and concluded that the proposed street layout is consistent with the adopted codes and comprehensive plan in place at the time of the complete application. 12. The applicant provided a school access analysis which indicates that the site will be served by Lake Grove Elementary School, Lakota Middle School, and Federal Way High School. High school students from the plat will be bused from existing nearby stops, or new and additional stops as the district may determine appropriate for the conditions. Elementary and middle school students will walk to school via existing sidewalk and roadway corridors. The applicant will be required to provide shoulder separation between the roadway and the paved shoulder along the north side of SW 312"' Street between 6t' Place SW and 8th Avenue SW for student passage.

Design and construction of low impact development (LID) surface drainage facilities in accordance with the 2005 KCSWDM and recommended conditions of preliminary plat approval, will ensure that all potential erosion, surface water runoff, water quality, and infiltration/storage-related impacts are addressed. The applicant's TIR was reviewed and accepted by the City's Public Works Department subject to final engineering review. Storm drainage facilities generally consist of infiltration trenches, pervious pavement, and rain gardens. 14. The preliminary plat application was reviewed for consistency with all applicable state and local codes, policies and regulations, including the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP); Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapters 18, "Environmental Policy"; 19, "Planning and Development"; 20, "Subdivisions"; 21, "Surface and Stormwater Management"; Chapter 22, Article XII, "Cottage and Compact Single -Family Housing;" Articles XIV, and XVI, "Improvements", Article XVII "Landscaping,"; the 1998 and 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual; and Federal Way Development Standards. As proposed and recommended by staff, the preliminary plat is consistent with the FWCP and all other applicable codes and regulations. 15. Water and sewer facilities are available from the Lakehaven Utility District and are adequate to serve the proposed development. It is the applicant's responsibility to secure all necessary water and sewer services from the utility provider. 16. As proposed and recommended by staff, approval and development of the proposed preliminary plat will ensure consistency and compatibility with existing surrounding single-family zoning, uses, and densities. 17. Pursuant to the FWCC, prior to final plat approval and recording, all required and approved improvements will be constructed, or the improvements appropriately bonded, per City code requirements. XII.

Roe, P.E., Assistant City Manager, Chief Operating Officer, Emergency VIA: Manager FROM: Rick Perez, P.E., City Traffic Engineer Sarady Long, Senior Transportation Planning Engineer 4�_ SUBJECT: Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Ordinance BACKGROUND: Attached is the draft Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) ordinance. This proposed Ordinance amends Chapter 15 of the Federal Way Municipal Code, which pertains to Commute Trip Reduction. The new ordinance reflects the changes in State Law. Second, the proposed Ordinance formally adopts the City's CTR Plan that has been adopted by the State CTR Board. In 2006, the Washington State Legislature passed the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Efficiency Act, which requires local governments in those counties experiencing the greatest automobile -related air pollution and traffic congestion to develop and implement plans to reduce drive alone commute trips and vehicle miles traveled (VMT). The CTR Efficiency Act builds upon the successful 1991 CTR law that requires major employers to implement trip reduction programs. Under the new law, jurisdictions are required to develop new CTR plans and establish program goals and targets for their urban growth areas. The new law however, provides jurisdictions with more flexibility in setting goals for their major employers and developing a plan that is tailored to meet the City's individual needs. CTR goals are required to adopt a minimum target of 10% Single Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) rate reduction and 13% Vehicle Miles Traveled reduction by 2011. CTR plans are intended to be consistent with a jurisdiction's existing Comprehensive Plan, and jurisdictions may identify areas of their Comprehensive Plans that they want to change so that the plan is more supportive of CTR. At this time, staff is not proposing to make any changes to the Comprehensive Plan. The CTR Plan is a collection of goals and policies, facility and service improvements, and marketing strategies that support reducing drive alone trips and vehicle miles traveled by 2011. It also describes requirements for major employers, documents the public involvement process, presents a sustainable financing plan, and lays out the implementation structure for the CTR program. LUTC Memorandum RE: FW CTR Ordinance October 20, 2008 Page Two On February 1, 2008, the City of Federal Way CTR Plan was unanimously approved by the State CTR Board. A Public Hearing before the Planning Commission was conducted on September 17th, 2008 and was unanimously approved by the Planning Commission without any changes. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the draft ordinance and forwarding the ordinance to the November 4th, 2008 City Council Ordinance Agenda for 1St reading: Attachment: City of Federal Way Commute Trip Reduction Plan Draft Ordinance cc: Project File Day File C:\Documents and Settings\darleneNTocal Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ContentOutlook\B6HST139\10-20-08 LUTC - CTR Ordinance (2).doc ORDINANCE NO.

Employers meeting the definition of "affected employer" in this Chapter must identify themselves to the City of Federal Way within 90 days of either moving into the boundaries of the City of Federal Way or growing in employment at a worksite to one hundred (100) or more affected employees. Employers who do not identify themselves within 90 days are in violation of this Chapter. 2. Newly affected employers identified as such shall be given 90 days to perform a baseline measurement consistent with the measurement requirements specified by the City of Federal Way. Employers who do not perform a baseline measurement within 90 days of receiving written notification that they are subject to this Chapter are in violation of this Chapter. 3. Not more than 90 days after receiving written notification of the results of the baseline measurement, the newly affected employer shall develop and submit a CTR Program to the City of Federal Way. The program will be developed in consultation with the City of Federal Way staff to be consistent with the goals of the CTR Plan adopted. The program shall be implemented not more than 90 days after approval by City of Federal Way. Employers who do not implement an approved CTR Program according to this schedule are in violation of this Chapter. ORD # , PAGE 7 114 4. Newly affected employers will be given 90 days to designate an employee transportation coordinator (ETC) to work closely with the City of Federal Way staff to develop, implement, and monitor strategies and processes to meeting defined CTR goals for their job site. If for any reason the ETC is displaced from their position, a new transportation coordinator must be designated by the employer within 90 days. Employers who fail to designate an ETC within 90 days of being identified as an affected employer are in violation of this Chapter. D. Change in Status as an Affected Employer. Any of the following changes in an employer's status will change the employer's CTR program requirements: If an employer initially designated as an affected employer no longer employs one hundred (100) or more affected employees and expects not to employ one hundred (100) or more affected employees for the next twelve (12) months, that employer is no longer an affected employer. It is the responsibility of the employer to notify the City of Federal Way that it is no longer an affected employer. The burden of proof lies with the employer. 2. If the same employer returns to the level of one hundred (100) or more affected employees within the same twelve (12) months, that employer will be considered an affected employer for the entire 12 months and will be subject to the same program requirements as other affected employers. 3. If the same employer returns to the level of one hundred (100) or more affected employees twelve (12) or more months after its change in status to an "unaffected" employer, that employer shall be treated as a newly affected employer and will be subject to the same program requirements as other newly affected employers. 15.205 Requirements for Employers - RCW 70.94.531. An affected employer is required to make a good faith effort, as defined in RCW 70.94.534(2) and this Chapter, to develop and implement a CTR program that will encourage its employees to reduce VMT per employee and drive alone commute trips. The employer shall submit a description of its program to the City of Federal Way and provide progress report to the City on employee commuting and progress toward meeting the drive alone reduction goals. The CTR program must include the mandatory elements as outlined below (FWCC 15.205). A. Mandatory Program Elements. Each employer's CTR program shall include the following mandatory elements: 1.

The purpose of this ordinance was to comply with the Commute Trip Reduction Act RCW 70.94.521 adopted by the Washington State Legislature in 1991. This law requires employers of 100 or more employees who arrive between 6 and 9 a.m. to develop and implement a program to encourage their employees to reduce vehicle miles traveled and drive alone trips. In 2006, the Washington State Legislature passed the Commute Trip Reduction Efficiency Act which amended the requirements for local governments in those counties experiencing the greatest automobile -related air pollution and traffic congestion to develop and implement plans to reduce drive alone trips. This plan has been prepared in accordance with these revisions to RCW 70.94.521. Under the Washington State CTR Efficiency Act requirements, the City is required to prepare a new CTR plan and set new goals. The Commute Trip Reduction Plan is a collection of City - adopted goals and policies, facility and service improvements, and marketing strategies about how the City will help make progress for meeting the goals over the next four years. The goal of the Federal Way CTR plan is to reduce drive alone trips by 109/6 and vehicle miles traveled by 13% among major work sites. Building upon the success of the existing commute trip reduction program, the City strives to meet the goals of the plan for the future by working in partnership and coordination with other agencies and employers. This proposed Plan has been developed through extensive involvement by CTR -affected employers and King County Metro who helped identify strategies and ways for successful achievement of the goals. This plan helps to support the achievement of the City's vision and the goals of its comprehensive plan. Benefits of the CTR Program to City of Federal Way Although the Commute Trip Reduction Program only applies to a few sites in the City of Federal Way, the CTR program will continue to grow and address a variety of transportation and environmental issues. Several trends are increasing the value of CTR in Federal Way, particularly as an alternative to expanding roads and parking facilities. The major transportation problems facing Federal Way are traffic and parking congestion, inadequate mobility for non -drivers, and various economic, social and environmental costs associated with high levels of automobile travel; all problems that can be addressed by CTR. The value of CTR is further enhanced by the following trends: • Rising facility costs. The cost of expanding highways and parking facilities is increasing. In many cases it is more cost effective to manage demand than to continue expanding supply. If the CTR program is successful, it will help reduce the demand on state, regional and local streets. This in turn helps to reduce the need to expand the roadway system. City of Federal Way Commute Trip Reduction Plan June zuuo • Demographics. As the population becomes older and more mature, it will become more important to increase the availability of quality travel options for non -drivers. Senior citizens will be more dependent on transit and non -motorized travel options. • Energy Costs. Vehicle fuel costs have risen dramatically and are projected to increase in the future due to depletion of oil supplies and environmental constraints. Rising costs have increased the demand for non -drive alone travel alternatives. The vanpool market, in particular, has exceeded demand and there are currently waiting lists for available vanpools. • Consumer preferences and market trends. CTR is addressing current consumer preferences in which more consumers want to live in multi -modal communities where it is possible to walk and bicycle safely, use neighborhood services, and have access to quality public transportation. • Environmental concerns. CTR helps to address concerns over air pollution, sprawl and other environmental impacts by reducing the demand for automobiles. Automobiles contribute to 55% of air pollutants. For each car that is taken off the road, there is a significant benefit to the environment. In summary, the CTR program is a cost-effective program that addresses a number of issues in the City of Federal Way. Although CTR has been applied to only a few work sites, the program will continue to grow and expand as solutions are needed to complex transportation and environmental issues. City of Federal Way Commute Trip Reduction Plan June 2007 I. BASELINE ASSESSMENT Affected CTR Work Sites As part of the requirements of the CTR Efficiency Act, the City of Federal Way conducted a background assessment of land use and transportation conditions of the CTR -affected work sites. These conditions were used to develop strategies to help the sites meet their CTR goals. Under the CTR ordinance, there are 13 affected worksites in the City of Federal Way. Those worksites include the following: Work Site Address St. Francis Hospital 34503 9th Ave S U.S Postal Services 34301 9th Ave S Federal Way City Hall 33325 8th Ave S World Vision US 34834 Weyerhaeuser Way South Ber er/ABAM 33301 9th Ave S Virginia Mason Medical Center 33501 1st Way South Financial Pacific Leasing 3455 S 344th Street EDS 32275 32nd Avenue S Weyerhaeuser Corporate 33663 Weyer aeuser WayS Weyerhaeuser East Campus III 33940 Weyer aeuser Way S Weyerhaeuser North Building I & II 32275 32nd Avenue S Weyerhaeuser Northwest Plaza 840 S 333rd Street Weyerhaeuser Technology Center 32901 Weyerhaeuser way S A site profile for each CTR -affected work site has been prepared.

The most current version of the City of Federal Way's Comprehensive Plan was adopted on July 2002. The City has a number of policies and goals that support CTR which are described in their land use and transportation elements. They include: City of Federal Way Land Use Element The City of Federal Way has designated a City Centers composed of two parts a City Center Core and City Center Frame. The creation of an identifiable and vibrant "downtown" is one of the primary goals identified by the Comprehensive Plan. The policies of the Land Use and City Center chapters envision a concentrated City Center comprised of mixed-use developments, pedestrian -oriented streetscapes, livable and affordable housing, a network of public spaces and parks, and development of superior design and quality. City of Federal Way Transportation Element The City of Federal Way Transportation Element has a number of policies and goals that support CTR, including the development of a multi -modal transportation system, non -motorized system and transportation demand management. Described below are some of the goals and policies from the Transportation Element that support CTR: Multimodal Transportation TP29 Reduce reliance on the single occupant auto by prioritizing and implementing supportive local -level transit, HOV, and non -motorized improvements. TP30 Identify and plan for multi -modal freeway, arterial, and collector street improvements which ensure more efficient use of existing roads and enhancement of HOV, transit, and related non - motorized operations. TP31 Integrate the traffic circulation network with high capacity transit, HOV, bicycle, and pedestrian networks with consideration to regional system needs, including air and port facilities. TP32 Structure the City's improvement program to strategically place increments of public and private investment that complement the multi -modal vision of the plan. This should include "matching" improvements to supplement the efforts by other agencies to provide HOV and transit facilities. TP33 Acquire rights-of-way for high capacity transit whenever possible in advance of their need, and make accommodations for any improvements, whether public or private, to provide for future high capacity transit needs without major redevelopment (e.g., locate structures so they would not need to be altered to accommodate future high capacity transit facilities). Non -Motorized Transportation Non -motorized transportation facilities will be increasingly important to the City in meeting the travel needs of its residents and workers and to reduce our dependence on automobiles. The City of Federal Way 30 June 2007 Commute Trip Reduction Plan pedestrian and bicycle systems can be implemented through a prioritized series of improvements to complement the transit, and HOV systems as well as create a key link to business, cultural, recreational, and residential elements that are a part of the FWCP Vision. Goals TG4 Enhance community livability and transportation by providing a connected system of pedestrian and bicycle ways that is integrated into a coordinated regional network. Policies TP50 Provide sidewalks on both sides of all arterial streets as funding allows. Provide a one -mile grid of bicycle facilities connecting major activity centers, recreational facilities, and schools. TP52 Incorporate pedestrian and bicycle features as design elements in the City Center as reflected in the FWCP Vision and City Center Street Design Guidelines. TP53 Ensure that City facilities and amenities are ADA compatible. TP54 Work to extend the existing system of sidewalks, bikeways, and equestrian ways in the city to provide safe access to public transit, neighborhood and business centers, parks, schools, public facilities, and other recreational attractions. TP55 Work with other agencies, particularly relating to regionally significant facilities, to pursue funding for pedestrian and bicycle amenities. TP56 Inform and educate the public on safety and use of non -motorized facilities. TP57 Ensure non -motorized facilities are safe and well maintained. Transportation Demand Management The Transportation Element acknowledges the City's CTR ordinance and describes recommendations and goals for supporting CTR: 1. Encourage voluntary expansion of the CTR Program to employers of less than 100 employees. The encouragement by employers may be as diverse as subsidized bus passes, carpool space priority, bike racks, shower facilities, van pools, car pool information access, telecommuting, variable work hours, etc. 2. Encourage the formation and expansion of area -wide ride -sharing programs. Such programs operate with little direct cost to the City and are highly cost-effective. 3. Facilitate the creation of Park and Ride facilities and transit centers to supplement the regional system, either directly through acquisition of property or indirectly through development conditions where employer vans are required to shuttle employees to Park and Ride facilities or transit centers. 4. Facilitate enhancements to the HOV System. This may include the acquisition of property for HOV lanes, construction of arterial HOV lanes on City arterials and State highways, and priority treatments for buses at traffic signals. At the very least, opportunities to support improved access to the State system of HOV lanes should be identified and supported. Through TDM options, the City recognizes it can maximize the effectiveness of the public investment dollar. Many jurisdictions are finding non -construction, or management actions, critical City of Federal Way 31 June 2007 Commute Trip Reduction Plan I15V_ to the overall achievement of congestion management and protection of neighborhoods. As such, the TDM goals for Federal Way can be expressed as follows. Goal TG5- a. Employ and promote the application of non -construction, and transit/HOV construction actions to preserve and enhance mobility and assist in achievement of the land use vision. b. Develop methods to successfully measure and achieve the following HOV & Transit mode split- levels by the year 20 10.- 15 percent of all daily trips over one mile in length; 30 percent of all work trips, and 40 percent of trips between major activity centers. c. Assist all CTR affected and voluntary employers in the Federal Way planning area to achieve the Commute Trip Reduction Act travel reduction goals. d. Ensure that all members of the community, including those with transportation disadvantages, have viable travel options or alternatives. Revised 2003 III -65 Use transportation demand management to help achieve an appropriate arterial level of service that balances the economic, ecological, accessibility, and livability needs of the City's residents, consumers, employers, and employees. Policies TP58 Support the achievement of City and regional mode split goals through encouragement of local and regional work at home and transportation coordination programs such as ride matching services and vanpools. TP59 Support other transportation demand management programs that can be shown to be cost- effective in achieving plan goals, while allowing residents and employers discretion to choose the methods they wish to employ. TP60 Develop an arterial street HOV system and related enhancement, which complements the regional freeway HOV system, through the following actions: • Place emphasis on the development of HOV and transit priority improvements; especially those requiring minimal cost or construction. These improvements should pace the extension of the regional system and minimize the gap between traveler needs and system capacity. Establish an urban traffic control system that gives priority to buses and HOVs. Establish policy that when arterials require more than four through lanes to maintain the adopted LOS, additional travel lanes will be for HOVs. As HOV lanes reach the adopted LOS standard, increase the vehicle occupancy requirements for their use (e.g. increase from two or more to three or more occupants). LOS will then be calculated by the average delay per person. TP61 Provide improved operational efficiency to the City's transportation system and support regional monitoring programs through regular, structured reporting, monitoring, and performance evaluation. TP62 Modify the development review process by: • Incorporating revised impact analysis procedures that comply with GMA concurrency and other requirements. The revisions need to include revised Level of Service standards. City of Federal Way 32 June 2007 Commute Trip Reduction Plan -157- • Streamlining it to the extent possible to minimize private development costs. Where developments are consistent with this plan, they should be allowed to proceed by mitigating site impacts; developing appropriate components of the HOV, transit, non -motorized and motorized chapters; and participating in an equitable citywide improvement funding or mitigation payment program. Incorporating requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Requiring explicit consideration of pedestrian and bicycle circulation, as well as parking and general circulation needs. TP63 Adopt a flexible level of service standard which employs a measurement factor that accommodates demand management to help balance likely levels of growth, with opportunities to create a multi -modal transportation system. TP64 Encourage non -motorized improvements which minimize the need for residents to use motorized modes by providing: 1) access to activity centers; 2) linkage to transit, park & ride lots, and school bus networks; 3) completion of planned pedestrian/jogging or bicycle trails; and 4) designating a network of streets that can safely and efficiently accommodate bicycles. TP65 Enhance a non -motorized system by the following actions: • In instances where the citywide system of bike lanes, trails, and sidewalks crosses or abuts new development or redevelopment, consider requiring the developer to mitigate the impact of the development on the City's transportation system by constructing bike lanes, trails, and sidewalks that interface with the existing system. • Coordinate development of the non -motorized system with surrounding jurisdictions and regional system extensions. • Extend the existing system of City sidewalks to all streets. TP66 Recognize that TDM requires coordination, and work with regional representative and other adjacent communities to develop coordinated TDM strategies. Review of Comprehensive Plan Policies Appendix G includes an analysis of the comprehensive plan goals and policies that support CTR. The CTR Planning Guide included a list of goals and policies that CTR -affected jurisdictions should incorporate into their comprehensive plans. The analysis shows that there are a number of goals and policies that are not yet incorporated in the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. During the next update cycle, the appropriate steps could be taken to create a stronger basis for the City's CTR program. Supporting Transit Plan Policies and Programs Public transit service is provided to area residents by a combination of fixed -route, express, dial -a -ride, and subscription bus services. King County METRO serves the City directly, while Pierce Transit buses provide connections from the Park and Ride lot on 1-5 at South 320 Street to Tacoma and Puyallup. Sound Transit serves the Federal Way and Star Lake Park and Ride lots with regional express buses between SeaTac and Tacoma, and between Federal Way and Bellevue. METRO and Pierce Transit provide bus and park & ride facilities to Federal Way. City of Federal Way 33 June 2007 Commute Trip Reduction Plan -15� Sound Transit is reviewing a high capacity transit system alternative for a second phase. The City plan identifies stations/transit centers on or near the 1-5/SR-99 corridor at South 272nd Street, South 316th Street, South 336th Street, and South 348th Street. Until light rail transit is extended to Federal Way, the transit centers would be for bus transit only. The integration of the road system for vehicles and buses with high capacity transit is incorporated into this plan. Specific projects that are planned are: • Federal Way — Seattle New peak period, peak direction commuter service between the new Federal Way City Center transit center/P&R and downtown Seattle, operating every 6 to 15 minutes. • Link LRT: Extension from SeaTac Airport to S 272nd Street Continue extension of the Central Link light rail system from SeaTac Airport to S. 272nd Street in the vicinity of existing Star Lake or Redondo Highland Park and Ride including a new station in Federal Way. The project will include all necessary components such as infrastructure, systems, and stations. For prototypical costing purposes, the alignment is assumed to be aerial primarily along SR 99. The final alignment and station locations will be determined through project level design and environmental review. Prototypical cost estimates for the alignment are presented here. • Link LRT: Extension from S 272"d St. to Tacoma Preliminary design and right-of-way acquisition for an extension of Link light rail transit from Federal Way (vicinity of S 272nd Street) to Tacoma. For prototypical cost estimation purposes, the line is assumed to be a mix of aerial, at -grade and retained cut and fill primarily along the western edge of 1-5, and would include stations in the vicinity of Federal Way Transit Center and 15 and S 348th Street. Planning Coordination and Cross Boundary Issues The City of Federal Way developed its CTR plan in coordination with other CTR -affected jurisdictions in King County. The City of Federal Way also attended meetings that were sponsored by the Puget Sound Regional Council to discuss regional approval CTR issues. The City of Federal Way has a number of cross boundary issues that affected its CTR Plan. Many of the commuters who travel to CTR -affected work sites live outside of Federal Way. Commuters travel to Federal Way from Seattle, Pierce County and East King County. Interstate 5 and State route 167 are the major state facilities that commuters use to travel to the City of Federal Way. To address other cross boundary issues, the City is working with regional partners on the following: • Working with King County Metro to provide transit services to the regional hubs. City of Federal Way 34 June 2007 Commute Trip Reduction Plan • Working with Sound Transit to improve transit access to the City. • Working with WSDOT to coordinate state highway projects, including SR 167 • Working with the PSRC to coordinate on regional TDM issues. City of Federal Way 35 June 2007 Commute Trip Reduction Plan j/^ II. and III. BASELINE AND GOALS FOR 2011 The goal of the CTR program is to reduce drive alone vehicle use and vehicle miles traveled among employees who work in CTR -affected worksites by 10% and 13% respectively. The targets are based on the most recent CTR work site drive alone and vehicle miles traveled rates. The target was established by taking the most recent drive alone rate and multiplying the rate by 10%. This number was then subtracted from the most recent drive alone rate and the result established the target for 2011. Drive Alone Target = Most recent drive alone rate - (Most recent drive alone rate * A 0) Vehicle Miles Target = Most recent VMT - (Most recent VMT * .13) City of Federal Way 36 June 2007 Commute Trip Reduction Plan -1C�1- 2005.. • ..

STRATEGIES FOR ACHIEVING GOALS AND TARGETS Potential Actions for the City to Eliminate Barriers To help make progress towards reaching the City's CTR goals, the City explored different strategies. The following potential strategies were identified that would help the City achieve its 2011 goal. The City would perform these strategies in coordination with King County Metro and other South King County jurisdictions • Parking To increase the percentage of commuters using transit, vanpool, carpool and non - motorized forms of transportation, the City will work with CTR employers to encourage parking management program, such as implementing preferential parking for carpools and vanpools and reducing parking capacity. The City will also review its current policies and development code for parking requirements and possibly identify changes that could help reduce drive alone travel. • Transit Sound Transit, Pierce Transit and King County Metro operate transit services in the City of Federal Way. Currently, less than 1 % of commuters who travel to CTR - affected work sites use transit. To increase the transit ridership at CTR -affected work sites, the City will work with transit providers to enhance transit services to make transit more accessible and convenient to commuters. The City will work with transit agencies to extend service hours, increase coverage, expand span of service and make transit stops more accessible to work sites. • Create Local Networking Opportunities for CTR -affected Work Sites To increase opportunities for ridesharing and continue partnerships between employers, the City, in coordination with King County Metro, will continue working with local networking enhancing opportunities for affected employers. Local networking with other CTR -affected employers and businesses will offer opportunities to discuss CTR and transportation issues, coordinate ridematching services, conduct joint commute options promotions, and offer coordinated programs that can benefit their employees. • Land Use The City will continue to implement its current land use policies that encourage the development of its City Center. Employers will be encouraged to locate in the Center where higher levels of services, such as transit, non -motorized and TDM programs are offered. Higher densities would help to increase transit, vanpooling and ridesharing activities. City of Federal Way 38 June 2007 Commute Trip Reduction Plan — /1 Pj __ • Employer Assistance To help CTR -affected and other business work sites achieve their goals, the City and King County Metro will continue to provide assistance to employers with implementing their programs. • Management Support and ETC training The City, in coordination with King County Metro, will work with chambers of commerce and other business organizations to increase support for CTR programs. • Work with Developers to Implement Transportation Management Plans Through the City's development review process, the City will encourage developers to implement various TDM measures that will help encourage commuters to use non -drive alone alternatives. TDM measures include installing commuter information centers, preferential parking for carpools and vanpools, offering transit pass discounts, and using pedestrian -friendly design that encourages transit use. City of Federal Way 39 June 2007 Commute Trip Reduction Plan lb Recommended Strategies to Achieve Goals Based on the feasibility of implementing various potential actions that were identified, the following strategies are planned that will help the CTR -affected work sites make progress towards their 2011 goal.

What are your suggestions for improving the CTR program? "i q r' • Implement tolls at bridges which will discourage people from driving. • Provide incentives for using non -drive alone modes, particular vanpooling. • Provide subsidy to vanpool if they are unable to fill the van with at least 6 riders. • Increase communication to commuters about non -drive alone alternatives. • Restructure the way vanpools are charged. Instead of charging by the van, charge by the trip to allow for flexibility for more riders. • Allow vanpools to pick up other riders that do not regularly ride in the van. • Encourage employers to offer telework which is very popular among commuters. 3. What types of assistance would you like to see from the City and Metro? • Provide monetary assistance for using non -drive alternatives • Follow up with the vanpool program to allow for more flexibility with ridership and cost structure. • Increase marketing and promotional activities. —lq5 Appendix G COMMUTE TRIP REDUCTION SUMMARY OF POLICIES THAT SUPPORT CTR Inter -Agency Coordination Urban Growth Areas i _Iq7— Example Commute Trip Reduction & Goals Policies ManagementGrowth Policies Pursue transportation demand management (TDM) strategies at the None local/regional level by coordinating with regional and state partners so customers see their travel choices and the various TDM promotions as a coordinated, integrated system that makes a difference in the community. Example: Regulations to influence travel behavior Marketing Improvements in services and facilities Require the integration of non -motorized and transit connections when LUP38 planning and developing urban centers or GTEC's. Establish urban centers and/or GTEC's where they can be served by LUP38 regional transit agencies, or work with the appropriate transit agency to expand service to the urban center within a reasonable timeframe. Urban Encourage new housing developments to be located in urban growth NA areas and small towns to help provide a sense of community and safe, non -motorized transportation to community facilities and public transit modes. Discourage transportation improvements that would trigger development NA that is premature or not consistent with applicable comprehensive plans, policies, or zoning. Provide aesthetic and functional amenities along pedestrian facilities, LUP25 such as water fountains, benches, trash receptacles, public art, and open spaces (such as seating plazas). Provide pedestrian, and bicycle connections in newly developing areas of LUP31, 32 the city, promoting both internal access and linkages with the rest of the city. Incorporate transit -supportive and pedestrian friendly design features in LUP 38, FWCC new development through the development review process. Examples include: Provide pedestrian pathways that minimize walking distances to activities and to transit stops. Provide weather protection such as covered walkways or arcades connecting building developments, and covered waiting areas for transit and ridesharing. Incorporate guidelines for addressing that sidewalks and walkways are TP28, TP38, separated from the roadway by a landscaping strip or drainage swale. FWCC -1q5- Example Commute Trip Reduction & Goals & Policies Growth .• Policies Adopt pedestrian friendly design guidelines, especially in high pedestrian LUP25, FWCC activity zones, such as wide sidewalks, landscape buffers or strips, street trees, adequate lighting, traffic calming measures (such as traffic circles, curb bulbs, raised medians, speed tables and chicanes), special pavements, and bollards. Adopt development design standards that promote a pedestrian friendly LUP32 environment. Such standards May include reduced building setbacks, requirements for display windows, building entrances oriented toward the street, and locating parking lots to the rear or side of buildings. Secure bike lanes and trail improvements or easements through the FWCC development review process to develop portions of the bicycle and pedestrian system. Require new developments to incorporate non -motorized features or TP65 programs designed to promote use of alternatives to single -occupant vehicles, such as; • Preferential parking for car pools and van pools • Special loading and unloading facilities • Transit facilities, including comfortable bus stops, and waiting areas, adequate turning room, and where appropriate, signal preemption and queue -jump lanes • Bicycle parking and related facilities Coordination Pursue strategies that make transit safe, secure, comfortable, and TP71 affordable. Integrate multiple access modes, including buses, carpools, and TP58, TG8a vanpools, bicycles, and pedestrians. Integrate transit -oriented development opportunities with the private and T131 public sectors. Zoning Discourage the development of major, stand-alone park and ride facilities None with city limits. Situations where additions to park and ride capacity could be considered include: At the terminus for a major, regional transit system. When opportunities exist for "shared parking "(e.g., where transit commuter parking can be leased from another development. Such as a shopping center, movie theatre, church, etc.) Areas where alternatives to automobile uses are particularly inadequate (e.g., lack of direct transit system, or pedestrian and bicycle access) or cannot be provided in a cost-effective manner. Example Commute Trip Reduction & Goals Policies ManagementGrowth Policies Allow a reduction in the number of required parking spaces if a Recommends development provides ride -share programs, car pool parking spaces, bike adding to Comp. racks, lockers or other approved non -motorized parking options. Plan. Encourage transit oriented development and pedestrian friendly land use LUP38 characteristics through zoning and land use policies that encourage mixtures of land uses, increased densities in targeted areas with design standards. Adopt a parking credit program that allows developers to reduce the Recommends number of required parking spaces if they provide an alternative adding to Comp transportation program to drive alone vehicles. Pian. Housing Element Work with other jurisdictions to achieve a jobs/housing balance that None makes it possible for people to live closer to where they work. Promote quality, community -friendly residential development, through LUP 17, LUP 18 features such as enhanced open space and pedestrian connectivity. Capital Facilities Element Explore the possibility of encouraging cooperative funding for bicycle None trails. Implement a methodology for public-private partnerships when it would CFP 27 result in a more efficient use of public resources. Aggressively seek funding opportunities for safety, mobility, intermodal, CFP 22 bicycle, pedestrian, neighborhood, and transportation demand management improvements Provide adequate and predictable funding to construct and maintain TP57 pedestrian and bicycle capital projects. Effectively link pedestrian project funding and approval decisions to TP52 priorities identified in the CTR plan, as well as the Non -Motorized element of the jurisdiction's Comprehensive Plan. Support a greater investment in pedestrian enhancements, and ensure TP50, TP54, TP55 that all new transportation projects include funding for pedestrian improvements. Continue programs to construct, maintain, and repair sidewalks. TP50, TP54, TP57 Assign high priority to pedestrian and bicycle projects that provide access TP51, TP54, TP55 to major employment areas and activity centers, provide linkages to transit, complete planned bicycle facilities and provide system connectivity. Example Commute Trip Reduction & Goals Policies ManagementGrowth Policies Effectively link TDM program funding and approval decisions to priorities None identified in the CTR plan, as well as the transportation element of the jurisdiction's Comprehensive Plan. Utilities Element Secure sidewalk and trail easements over existing utility lines where ever None feasible Transportation Element Carpools, Vanpools, & Ride Share Ensure that the city as an employer sets a positive example by None maintaining a strong transportation demand management program for its employees. Pedestrian System Connectivity The city should ensure that continuous and/or direct bicycle lanes are TP62 provided between all jurisdictions and major activity centers. Consider pedestrians along with other travel modes in all aspects of TP54, TP62 developing the transportation system. Provide safe and convenient pedestrian access in all new and improved transportation projects, unless exceptional circumstances exist. Remove barriers and deterrents along the existing pedestrian system to TP57, TP64 create better access between employment facilities, residential and other uses. Coordinate the local jurisdiction's existing and planned pedestrian system TP 55, TP65,TP66 with adjacent jurisdictions to provide a continuous, coordinated system, especially when major employment and activity centers are nearby. Secure sidewalks and trail improvements or easements through the TP10, TP62 development review process to develop portions of the pedestrian system. Pedestrian Safety and Security Adopt and use national (American Association of State Highway and None Transportation Officials, AASHTO) design standards for pedestrian facilities. Address the special needs of citizens with various degrees of mobility in TP53, TP70 planning, designing, implementing and maintaining pedestrian facilities. Provide consistently designed pedestrian activated signal crossings, and None consider technologies that enhance pedestrian safety at crossings, such as longer crossing times and audible crossings. --Q-c,lll� Example Commute Trip Reduction & Goals Policies ManagementGrowth Policies Improve mobility and safe access for walking and bicycling, and create TP54, 56, 57, 64 incentives to promote non -motorized travel to employment centers, commercial districts, transit stations, schools and major institutions, and recreational destinations Update and review the Pedestrian and Bicycle transportation Plan every None five years. The updates should consider the existing and future role of the single -occupant vehicle in relation to non -motorized and public transportation modes, as well as newly annexed areas, areas experiencing unforeseen development and/or redevelopment, and other emerging issues. Develop an effective "share the road/share the trail" concept for Recommends pedestrian and bicycle education programs for the motorized and non- adding to Comp. motorized public. Plan Accessibility Sidewalks or pedestrian facilities should be located along all both sides of TP50 all arterials, collectors, and at least one side of most local streets. Pedestrian facilities should be wide enough to allow the disabled, such as TP53, TP62, wheelchair users, to access them, usually a minimum of 5' to 6'. A wider FWCCC facility should be provided along principal arterials (generally a minimum of 8'), or in business districts that attract more pedestrians. Direct pedestrian linkages should be considered whenever possible, to TP51, TP54 connect between internal land uses and arterials. This reduces walking distances to transit stops and commercial uses. Public Transportation Encourage interconnections and time coordination of public transportation TP67, 68, TP71 modes (bus, coach and rail) to increase level of service and ridership. Work with transit providers to provide transit service that is fast, frequent, TP71 and reliable between urban centers and urban villages and that is accessible to most of the city's residences and businesses. Pursue strategies that make transit safe, secure, comfortable, and affordable. Support development of an integrated, regional high capacity transit TP25, 31, 33, TG6 system that links urban centers within the city and the region. Develop partnerships with transit providers to implement projects TP71, TP74, TP68 providing neighborhood -to -transit links that improve pedestrian and bicycle access to transit services and facilities. X03 __ Example Commute .. Policies ManagementGrowth Policies Coordinate with regional, state, and federal agencies, local governments, TP71, TG2 and transit providers when planning and operating transportation facilities and services in order to promote regional mobility for people and goods and the urban center approach to growth management. Design transit access into large developments, considering bus lanes, TP73, 75 stops, shelters, non -motorized lanes & facilities as part of the project design Coordinate with transit providers and the private sector to develop and TG5, TP58, 59, 66 implement compatible transportation demand management regulations and strategies that are consistent with the Commute Trip Reduction Act. Work with car share companies to provide car share opportunities at key None locations, such as major employers, business districts, and high density residential areas. Provide preferential lanes, such as High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes TP42, TP60, TG7 on roads which will benefit commuters the most, such as those with major transit routes, and those experiencing the greatest congestion. Ferries For water -borne travel across Puget Sound, encourage the expansion of N/A the passenger -only ferry service and land -side facilities and terminals that encourage walk-on (by -foot, bicycle, transit) trips rather than ferry travel with automobiles. Coordinate ferry arrivals and departures with mass transit systems to N/A ensure an efficient flow of people and traffic. Education and Encouragement the general public and public officials about the economic, None transportation system performance, environmental, health and social benefits of walking and biking and develop improved programs to encourage increased levels of walking and biking. Educate drivers and pedestrians about pedestrian safety issues, and TP56 enforce pedestrian related laws. Consider the formation of a pedestrian advisory committee to provide Already in place input to the jurisdiction (staff and elected officials) on pedestrian related issues and needs, as well as review of major transportation projects to ensure that pedestrian needs are adequately addressed or considered. —.2 Example Commute Trip Reduction & Goals Policies Growth.. Policies Develop a pedestrian walking/biking map that is focused on major activity Already exist centers, such as business districts or major employment areas. The map should identify sidewalks, trails, bike routes, transit corridors and bus stops/transit centers, and key activity centers such as institutional uses and government centers, major employers, commercial or retail areas, parks, and other points of interest. Monitoring Ensure that the local government monitors the results of its TDM TG5 programs and policies, and continually evaluate changes needed to improve mode split goals. Continually evaluate large employer CTR program effectiveness and TG5 reduce the employer threshold if needed to achieve the jurisdiction's mode split goals. Economic Development Element Funding Mechanisms Promote public awareness of the impact travel choices have on None household finances, personal quality of life, society, and the environment, and increase awareness of the range of travel choices available. Employment Require large employers to implement a commute trip reduction program FWCC for employees, as mandated by the Commute Trip Reduction Act. The county/city should encourage employers in urbanized areas to offer FWCC staggered work hours or flextime and other Transportation demand Management programs such as parking management, ride match services and preferential parking of vanpools, carpools, covered bike racks, lockers and showers at work sites. Encourage employers to provide information and marketing on commute FWCC, TP58 alternatives, such as transit schedules, rideshare information, and guaranteed ride home programs. Encourage employers to develop telecommuting options, which allow FWCC, TP58 employees to work one or more days at home or at a "satellite work center" closer to their homes. Encourage employers to allow flexible work schedules or compressed FWCC work weeks to help reduce the number of vehicles using local and regional roadways. Encourage major employers to provide daycare opportunities onsite or None nearby. — , t5-- Example • Reduction & GoalsPolicies Growth.• Policies Encourage employers to provide subsidies to employees who commute None using other modes, such as free or reduced prices for transit passes, or discounted parking for rideshare vehicles.

Affected Employer: An employer is "affected" under the CTR law if there are at least 100 "affected" employees at a single work site. Alternative Work Schedules: AWS programs offer alternatives to the typical eight-hour work day. Options include flex -time, a compressed work week, and staggered work hours. Automobile Dependency: Transportation and land use patterns that result in high levels of automobile use and limited transportation alternatives. In this case, "automobile" includes cars, vans, light trucks, SUVs and motorcycles Base Year: The CTR law requires affected employers to measure the results of their employee trip program against base year values for VMT and drive alone vehicles. The goal year is 2011. Bus Rapid Transit: Special lanes dedicated to transit buses, often incorporating other features to insure high quality transit service. Carpool: Two to six people age 16 and older, sharing the ride in an automobile to and from the work place. Commute: The trip made by an employee between their home and work locations, regardless of the distance or mode used. Compressed Work Week: A work week that is compressed from the typical five-day, 40 hour work week into a shorter work week but maintaining the same number of hours. Commute Trip Reduction Program: A CTR program is comprised of strategies used by an employer to reduce employee use of single -occupant vehicles (SOVs) and the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per employee. The CTR program specifies the measures to be used that will achieve the target goals. Drive Alone Vehicles: A vehicle that is occupied by one person. Employee Transportation Coordinator: The CTR law requires employers to appoint an employee transportation coordinator, or ETC. The personal is personal change agent who provides the "human touch" needed to remedy traffic congestion and air pollution problems. An ETC is the organization's key contact person providing commuting information to employees and liaison activities with transit agencies and local jurisdictions. The ETC creates marketing strategies, administers employee ridesharing programs, and measures results. Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH): GRH programs provide an emergency ride home for employees who commute to work in a ridesharing mode and have an illness or emergency. Typically, an employee can take a cab ride home and charge the ride to their employer's account or be reimbursed for the expense. High -Occupancy Vehicle (HOV): a passenger vehicle carrying more than a specified minimum number of passengers. HOVs include carpools, vanpools, and buses. HOV requirements are often indicated as 3+ (three or more passengers required) or 4+ (four or more passengers required). HOV Lane: This is a traffic lane limited to carrying high occupancy vehicles (HOVs) and certain other qualified vehicles. HOT Lanes (High Occupancy Toll Lanes): HOV facilities that allow lower occupancy vehicles, such as solo drivers, to use the facility if they pay a toll. This offers users three options: drive alone on an unpriced but congested general purpose lane, drive alone and pay to use a less congested lane, or rideshare (carpool, vanpool or ride transit) to use a less congested lane without any additional fee. Mobility: The movement of people and goods. Mobility Management (Also called Transportation Demand Management): Various strategies that change travel behavior (how, when and where people travel) in order to increase transport system efficiency and achieve specific objectives such as reduced traffic congestion, road and parking cost savings, increased safety, improved mobility for non -drivers, energy conservation and pollution emission reductions. Nonmotorized Transportation (also known as Active Transportation and Human Powered Transportation) includes Walking, Bicycling, Small -Wheeled Transport (skates, skateboards, push scooters and hand carts) and Wheelchair travel. Parking Management: Strategies aimed at making better use of available parking supply. Parking management strategies include preferential parking or price discounts for carpools and/or short- term parkers, and disincentives, prohibitions and price supplements for those contributing more to congestion. Parking Pricing: Strategy to reduce automobile use by requiring motorists to pay directly for using parking facilities. Time variable parking pricing can be used as a congestion reduction strategy. Parking Cash -Out: This means that people (typically commuters, and sometimes residents of multi -family housing) who are offered a free parking space are also offered the cash equivalent when they use alternative transportation modes and so do not impose parking costs. Ridesharing: Ridesharing is any cooperative effort of two or more people sharing a motor vehicle traveling to a common destination, such as a work site. Carpools and vanpools are common forms of ridesharing. Smart Growth: Land use development practices that create more resource efficient and Livable communities, with more Accessible land use patterns. An alternative to sprawl. Sprawl: Dispersed, low-density, single -use, automobile dependent land use patterns. Stakeholder: Individuals or groups that are affected by a decision and have an interest in its outcome. Teleworking: Teleworking involves the use of telephones, computers, and other technology to work from a location other than a conventional office. Transportation Demand Management (TDM): Various strategies that change travel behavior (how, when and where people travel) in order to increase transport system efficiency and achieve specific objectives such as reduced traffic congestion, road and parking cost savings, increased safety, improved mobility for non -drivers, energy conservation and pollution emission reductions. Also called Mobility Management. Transportation Management Association (TMA): A TMA is a partnership or organization that brings interested parties together to work on transportation issues. Vanpool: A vanpool consists of seven to fifteen people sharing their commute in a passenger van, generally riding to the same place of employment. Vehicle Miles Traveled: Number of miles a vehicle has traveled for a commute. -210
