Responses are being provided to questions raised at that meeting. Federal Way Question #i * Public Comment: Why did the city not include in its published land use decision more up to date DAH P findings submitted to the city during the public comment period? The decision should have included I RG's updated Built Environment Survey in which the DAH P agreed there were adverse effects to the historic district dated October 1 5th. * Response: The N H PA Section 1 o6 process is a separate, federal regulatory procedure independent of the city's local project permit review framework. The Section 1o6 process is not within the city's control, and it contains standards that are different from those implicated in this Process III decision. The city acknowledges that the outcome of the N H PA Section 1o6 process may result in mitigation measures (either mandatory and/or voluntary) that are separate from and in addition to any requirements imposed through the city's review of the applicant's proposal. - .1 Federal Way Question#2 Public Comment: Throughout the decision there are numerous conditions that state certain things must be met before the building permit is issued. How will the public know if the applicant has met the requirements and/or if the city has reviewed each but requires further analysis prior to approval? * Response: Conditions of approval are common. It is a regular part of city staff's responsibility to review projects for code compliance and to ensure any conditions of approval are met pursuant to the timeframe stated in the condition. If there is a question about a particular condition please contact city staff. F Federal Way Question #3 Public Comment: Clarification was requested regarding a condition of approval related to pavement improvement --does it involve road widening? Response: Condition 27 is strictly to address construction of the pavement to support the additional truck loading. No widening is contemplated between SR 18 and the driveway serving Buildings A and B. Similarly, the language regarding pavement mitigation as far north as S 32oth Street does not contemplate additional widening, other than frontage improvements that may be required as part of the proposed warehouse on the Tech Center site. The Comprehensive Plan does indicate a planned widenin to a width consistent with that south of the Headquarters driveway 4-5 lanes with bike lanes and sidewalks) between the Headquarters driveway and S 336th Street, but there is no indication at this time of when or by whom that would be constructed. - .1 Federal Way
