RE: File #18-101093-00-AD; CONDITIONAL PLAT EXTENSION APPROVAL
Roesch Military Short Plat, *NO SITE ADDRESS*, Federal Way
Dear Mr. Roesch:
The Community Development Department has received your March 12, 2018, request to extend the
preliminary short subdivision approval granted to the Roesch Military Short Plat for an additional two
years. The referenced application is a four -lot short subdivision granted approval by the city on April 7,
2009. The previous two-year extension is scheduled to expire April 7, 2018. The city's subdivision
regulations allow the City to administer extensions if criteria within Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC)
18.05.090(2) can be satisfied.
Your request for a two-year extension is approved per the following conditions:
CONDITIONS
1. The applicant shall be subject to the current rockeries and retaining walls regulations set forth
in FWRC 19.120.120.
2. The project shall be subject to transportation impact fees in effect at the time of development
permit application, per FWRC 19.91.
3. Stormwater improvements must meet requirements in place at the time of submittal.
Currently, the city has adopted the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual
(KCSWDM) and the City of Federal Way Addendum to that manual. However, these
regulations are subject to change and the application is not vested to any stormwater standard
at this time.
TIME EXTENSION CRITERIA
The following is an excerpt of the plat time extension criteria from FWRC 18.05.090. In the interest of
clarity, staff reviewing the request has responded to each criterion using information provided by the
applicant and relevant city policies justifying the extension approval. An extension request shall satisfy
the following criteria to be approved:
(a) Except for the first request for time extension, the applicant has made substantial progress to
complete the plat;

Staff Response — The applicant has recently submitted additional engineering materials to City of
Federal Way staff. Staff finds criterion (a) has been met.
(b) There are circumstances beyond the applicant's control which prevent compliance with the time
limits;
Staff Response — A difficult financing environment has prevented the development of the proposed
lots. Such circumstances are beyond the applicant's control; therefore, staff finds criterion (b) has
been met.
(c) The extension will not create or continue conditions that constitute a code violation or an attractive
nuisance, contribute to erosion and sedimentation problems, or impact the public health, safety, and
welfare;
Staff Response — Site conditions have remained unchanged and unimproved since the development
was granted approval; therefore, code violations, attractive nuisances, erosion/sedimentation
problems, and public health, safety, and welfare should not arise due to the extension approval. Staff
finds criterion (c) has been met.
(d) Whether either physical conditions in the vicinity of the plat or codes and requirements of the city,
applicable agencies, and utility providers have changed to such a degree since initial approval that it
would be contrary to the public interest to extend the life of the plat.
Staff Response — Staff finds criterion (d) will be met with the conditions below:
(i) Whether the adoption of new codes and/or standards would substantially affect project layout and
stonn drainage design;
Staff Response — The project is currently vested to the stormwater design criteria of the 2009 King
County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM). The project site lies within a Flood Problem
Flow Control Area and an Enhanced Basic Water Quality Treatment area. On April 24, 2016, the
City adopted the 2016 KCSWDM; therefore, the Public Works Department Development
Services Division has determined that the project will be required to design their stormwater
systems, including the flow control and water quality treatment facilities, to meet the design
criteria of the 2016 KCSWDM.
(ii) The adequacy of mitigation and/or impact fees to address the cost of mitigation at the end of the
expiration period;
Staff Response — The previous extension's conditions that will remain in full effect with this
current extension adequately mitigate impacts.
(iii) Whether the delayed project is an impediment to other development projects in the vicinity as a
result of traffic concurrency reserved capacity.
Staff Response — Traffic Division staff has determined the delay of an additional two years will
not be an impediment to other development projects in the vicinity, and the capacity reserve
certificate associated with the preliminary short plat approval remains valid for this extension.
