RE: FILE#12-105242-00-AD;RESPONSE TO INQUIRY
Lifeway Church Stormwater Inquiry, 157 SW 356th Street,Federal Way
Dear Mr. Budd:
The city has received your letter requesting acknowledgement and approval of the stormwater facility locations
for the Lifeway Church and Retreat Meadows Preliminary Plat projects. You have also requested guidance on
separation requirements for the two facilities.
LOCATION
The Lifeway Church Process IV site plan approval issued December 18,2009,indicates the location of the
church's stormwater facility on the southeast portion of the subject property. The Retreat Meadows
Preliminary Plat approval issued April 19,2011, indicates the location of the new SW 358`h Street extension's
stormwater facility in the same location as the church's stormwater facility.As SW 358`h Street will be a
public road, its associated stormwater facility will be public and located in a separate tract. Therefore, the
church's stormwater facility will need to re-locate north of the public facility.
The Public Works Department has not received detailed engineered drawings or a final technical information
report for the two facilities and therefore is unable to approve the locations, but due to existing topography the
department does acknowledge the two facilities will be within close proximity and on current Lifeway Church
property. Following completion of the SW 358'h Street stormwater facility in conjunction with the Retreat
Meadows plat, the facility will be dedicated to the city while the Lifeway Church stormwater facility will
remain under church ownership.
SEPARATION
The city does not have a standard for pond separation. Separation of the ponds will be dependent of several
factors such as access to the structures, access road, soils, and slope stability of berms. These items will be
addressed in the final technical information report and engineered drawings, which will be reviewed by the
Public Works Department prior to engineering approval. As there is no standard for pond separation and no
final engineering documents have been submitted,the department is unable to provide an exact separation
requirement.

Matt;
This letter is formally requesting the City of Federal Way to acknowledge&approve the location of the
detention/retention ponds with regard to the above referenced projects.
Both storm water detention/retention ponds are located on our property(LifeWay Church). I am
asking the City to approve the location of two separate storm water facilities&also provide some
guidance with regard to separation requirements.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me at 253-202-9429.
Thank you Matt,I look forward to hearing from you soon.
