The Process I application is hereby conditionally approved based on the following condition and the enclosed Findings for Site Plan Approval: Pursuant to Federal Way City Code(FWCC) Section 22-952, it is a violation of this chapter to accumulate junk,or for a property owner or the person in control of property to allow junk,junked, or inoperable vehicles to accumulate on the subject property. As such, prior to final inspection of the proposed construction(building permit number 03- 103261-00-MF), all junk and inoperable vehicles on the subject property must be removed and the site must be in compliance with this code section. This decision shall not waive compliance with future City of Federal Way code, policies,and standards relating to this site. The effective date of this decision is September 8,2003. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-356, any person who received notice of the administrative decision may appeal this decision to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner by September 22,2003. Please be aware that no work on the proposal can commence until the end of the appeal period. However, in that you are the only party of record,you may waive your right to appeal this decision. The City must receive this waiver in writing. Waiver of the right to appeal does not effect the effective date of this decision. Therefore, if you choose to waive your right to appeal,you could begin work on the proposal on September 8,2003, provided you have obtained the necessary building permits. As a final note, please be aware that the subject property is located in high crime area. The City strongly advises that the applicant contact Stacey Flores, Community Relations and Information Specialist for the Federal Way Police Department, for information related to crime prevention strategies that could benefit the occupants of the dwelling units,the property owner,and the City as a whole. Ms. Flores' direct line is 253-661-4717. Pp Mr.Jeffrey Swanson Page 2 September 3,2003 An hourly Process I application fee of$115.50 is now due(two hours at$57.50 per hour). However,the$57.50 deposit paid at the time of application covers a portion of this fee. Therefore, a balance of$57.50 is due and must be paid before obtaining a building permit. Should you have any questions about this letter,please call Jane Gamble,Associate Planner,at 253- 661-4120. Sincerely, (ine„ Kathy McClung, Director Community Development Services enc: Findings for Site Plan Approval Approved Site Plans c: Jane Gamble,Associate Planner Stacey Flores,Community Relations and Information Specialist for the Federal Way Police Department File#03-103434-00-UP Doc.I .24426 r CITY OF Federal Way Findings For Site Plan Approval Swanson Garage Conversions 28606-28608 25th Place South File No: 03-103434-00-UP 1. The applicant proposes to convert two existing attached garages into living space consisting of two bedrooms and a family room for two duplex units located at 28606 and 28608 25th Place South, in Federal Way.1 Zoning for the subject property is Multifamily Residential (RM 3600). This zoning district permits attached dwelling units pursuant to Federal Way City Code(FWCC) Section 22-667. This proposal is subject to Process I,Director's Approval, as it does not meet the land use process exemptions under FWCC Section 22-32. 2. The proposed conversions are exempt from SEPA review pursuant to Washington Administrative Code(WAC) 197-11-800,"Categorical Exemptions,"as the proposed action involves fewer than four residential units. 3. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-667,the required parking for attached dwelling units is 1.7 parking units per dwelling unit;the total required number of parking stalls for the duplex located on the subject property is four parking stalls.2 The applicant has demonstrated on the site plan that four parking stalls are available on the lot,and these stalls are outside of required yards.3 As such,the proposed conversion of the existing garage spaces does not create a parking nonconformance on the site. The required parking stalls must be striped prior to final building inspection. 4. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-952, it is a violation of this chapter to accumulate junk, or for a property owner or the person in control of property to allow junk,junked,or inoperable vehicles to accumulate on the subject property. As such,prior to final inspection of the proposed construction(building permit number 03-103261-00-MF)all junk and inoperable vehicles on the subject property must be removed and the site must be in compliance with this code section. 5. The proposal has been reviewed for consistency with all applicable zoning regulations including, FWCC Chapter 22,Article IV,"Nonconformance"; FWCC Chapter 22,Article 'XVII, "Landscaping"; and FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIX, "Community Design Guidelines." The proposed conversion will create four-bedroom two-bath units at the duplex. 2 Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1379,if the formula for determining the minimum and maximum number of parking spaces results in a fraction,that fraction will be rounded up to the next higher whole number. 3 Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1135(2),attached dwelling units in residential zones may not locate parking areas in required yards.Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-667,the front yard setback for an attached dwelling unit is 20 feet from the front property line.Based on the submitted site plan,it appears that the dwelling units are located 19 feet from the front property line. 6. Nonconforming development standards have been identified at the subject site.4 Under FWCC Section 22-334(6), nonconforming development standards must be corrected if a multi-tenant building adds more than 50 percent of value in any one calendar year. The existing value of the duplex unit is $133,000, according to the King County Assessor's Records.The applicant proposes to add $14,000 value to the units with the conversions. Therefore, as the applicant will add less than 50 percent value to the units with this proposal, nonconforming development standards are not be required to be brought up to current code standards. 7. Community Design Guidelines for residential dwelling units encourage the use of windows in all facades, pedestrian walkways between the dwelling unit and the street, and landscaping between the dwelling unit and the street. Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED)principles of natural surveillance, access control, and ownership are used with design guidelines to identify and incorporate design features that reduce opportunities for criminal activity. The existing duplex units do not have any windows that face the street, nor are any street facing windows proposed with the garage conversion.Also, existing pedestrian walkways from the dwelling unit to the street are via the driveway. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1632, applications for remodeling of existing developments shall meet only those provisions of the design guideline article that are reasonably related to the area of remodel. In this case,the area of remodel involves only garages containing street-facing facades. Staff strongly recommends that windows be included on the west street-facing façades to the extent possible to conform to design guidelines and CPTED principles. Pedestrian connections and landscaping between the building and the street,while not reasonably related to the area of remodel, are also recommended. 8. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-395(b), and the forgoing findings,the proposal is found to be consistent with the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan;all applicable provisions of the FWCC; and with the public health, safety,and welfare,provided that the stated condition of approval is met. 9. A building permit application under file#03-103932-00-MF is under review. Final construction drawings will be reviewed for compliance with specific regulations, conditions of approval,and other applicable City requirements.These findings shall not waive compliance with future City of Federal Way codes,policies,and standards relating to this development. Prepared by: Jane Gamble,Associate Planner Date: August 29, 2003 • 4 The duplex is set back 19 feet from the property line,while the minimum front yard setback is 20 feet pursuant to FWCC Section 22-667.Existing site improvements appear to exceed 60 percent lot coverage maximum.
