Land Use Issues — Stormwater
1. Surface water runoff control and water quality treatment will be required per the 2016 King Count' Surface
6Ylater Design Manual (KCS\Y/DM) and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the KCSWDM
(Addendum). This project meets the requirements for a Full Drainage Review. At the time of land use
site plan submittal, a preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR), addressing the relevance of the
project to the nine core and five special requirements of the KCSWDM will be required. A Level 1
downstream analysis shallalso be provided in the preliminary TIR. The city has 1" = 100', five-foot
contour planimetric maps in GIS format that may be used for basin analysis.
2. The project lies within a consen ation flow control area; thus, the applicant must design the flow control
facility to meet these performance criteria. Since the project creates more than 5,000 square feet of new
or replaced impervious area, requirements for a flow control facility and Best Management Practices
(BMP's) apply as outlined in the KCSWDM. Should frontage improvement requirements create enough
new/replaced impervious area to require a detention facility and/or BMP's, this area can be evaluated
separately from the site.

3, The project lies within an Enhanced Basic Water Quality Area. Water quality treatment shall be designed
to meet the treatment criteria of the Enhanced Basic Water Quality Menu provided in the KCWDM. In
addition to the KCSWDM, our initial review suggests that FWRC 19.30.120, "Nonconforming Water
Quality Improvements," applies to this site. Specifically, the following items are applicable:
"(b) Redevelopment which involves the construction or replacement of a building footprint or
other structure having a surface area of 5,000 square feet or more, or which involves the expansion
of a building footprint or other structure by 5,000 square feet of surface area or more; OR
"(c) Redevelopment which involves the repair or replacement of 5,000 square feet or more of an
impervious surface, when such redevelopment is not part of a routine maintenance activity; OR
"(g) Redevelopment, other than normal maintenance or other than the tenant improvements, but
including any increase in gross floor area, in any one consecutive 12-month period which exceeds
50 percent o f the assessed or appraised value (whichever is greater) of the structure or
improvement being redeveloped. The appraisal must be from a state -certified general appraiser.
For purposes of determining value under this section, improvements required pursuant to
FWRC 19.30.090 (nonconforming development), 19.30.110 (street/sidewalk improvements), this
section (nonconforming water quality improvements) and FWRC 19.135.030 (street/sidewalk
improvements) shall not be counted towards the 50 percent threshold which would trigger
application of this subsection."
Therefore, water quality will be required for the entire site, including new and existing pollution
generating impervious surfaces. "Site" as defined in 1.1.13 footnote 2 of the Addendum, refers to all
parcels under contiguous ownership. Treatment options must be selected from the Enhanced Basic
Water Quality Menu provided in the KCSWDM. Water quality requirements may be evaluated separately
for the frontage improvements.
4. If infiltration is proposed, soil logs prepared by a licensed geotechnical engineer or septic designer must
be provided to verify infiltration suitability.
5. Detention and water quality must be above ground (i.e. open pond). Underground facilities are allowed
only with approval from the City of Federal Way Public Works Department.
6. Show the proposed location and dimensions of the detention and water quality facilities on the
preliminary plans.
7. If more than one acre will be disturbed during construction, a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) construction storm water permit may be required. Information regarding this permit
can be obtained from the Washington State Department of Ecology at 360-407-6048, or

See the Traffic Division comments from Senior Transportation Planning Engineer Sarady Long for
traffic related items.
2. If dedication of additional right-of-way is required to install street frontage improvements, the dedication
shall be conveyed to the city through a statutory warranty deed. The dedicated area must have clear title
prior to recording.

3. All stormwater treatment and detention requirements outlined above may apply to any improvements
within the public right-of-way.
4. A five-year moratorium on cutting 160, Avenue South will be in place once the WSDOT overlay project
is complete. WSDOT is planning to start work on a pavement overlay and curb ramp replacement on
May 1, 2019. If there is any need to pothole or cut 161, please contact the right-of-way p(mnit desk at
253-835-2725, immediately and plan to complete work in the right-of-way ahead of the WSDOTproject.
Building (or EN) Permit Issues
1. Engineered plans are required for clearing, grading, road constLuction, and utility work. Plans must be
reviewed and approved by the city. Engineering review Fees are $3,004.00 for the First 12 hours of review,
and /67.00 per hour for additional review time. A final TIR shall be prepared for the project and
submitted with the engineering plans. Both the TIR and the plans will require the signature/seal of a
professional engineer registered/licensed in the state of Washington.
2. The Federal Way Public Vorks Development.S'landards Manual (including standard detail drawings, standard
notes, and engineering checklists) to assist the applicant's engineer in preparing the plans andTIR is
available on the city's website at 1w12:1/W,,VX►f citvoFFederalnay.coan indeX.aspx?n.id- ,��.
3. Bonding is required for all street improvements and temporary erosion and sediment control measures
associated with the project. The bond amount shall be 120 percent of the estimated costs of the
improvements. An administrative fee deposit will need to accompany the bond to cover any possible
legal fees in the event the bond must be called. Upon completion of the installation of the improvements,
and Final approval of the Public Works Inspector, the bond will be reduced to 30 percent of the original
amount and held for a two-year maintenance period.
4. The developer will be responsible for the maintenance of all storm drainage facilities (including the
detention and water quality facilities) and street systems during the two-year maintenance period. During
that time, the Public Works Inspector will make periodic visits to the site to ensure the developer's
compliance with the maintenance requirements. Upon satisfactory completion of the two-year
maintenance period, the remainder of the bond.vlu be released. Maintenance for public roads and
subdivision drainage facilities then become the responsibility of the city. Maintenance for private roads
and drainage facilities, including short plats, remain the responsibility of the individual property owners.
5. When topographic survey information is shown on the plans, the vertical datum block shall include the
phrase "DATUM: N.G.V.D.-29" or "DATUM: K.C.A.S.," on all sheets where vertical elevations are
called out.
6. Drawings submitted for plan review shall be printed on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" paper. Site plans shall be
drawn at a scale of 1" = 20', or larger. Architectural scales are not permitted on engineering plans.

■ Tra§c Impact Fees (Fir/RC 19.91) — Traffic impact fees payment will be assessed at the building permit
issuance.
• Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135.040) — Construct half -street frontage improvements and dedicate
right-of-way along the property frontage on SR 161 and South 352^d Street if the proposal exceeds the 25
percent threshold.

Transportation Concurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90)
1. Based on the submitted materials to expand the Costco building by approximately 2,305 square feet, and
the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation - 10,h Edition, land use code 857
(Discount Club), the proposed project is expected to generate 10 new PM peak hour trip.
2. A concurrency permit is required for this development project. The PW Traffic Division will perform a
concurrency analysis to determine if adequate roadway capacity exists during the weekday PM peals
period to accommodate the proposed development. Please note that supplemental transportation analysis
and concurrency mitigation may be required if the proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in
the six -year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP).
3. The estimated fee for the concurrency permit application is ,$"1,721 (1 - 10 trips). This fee is an estimate and
based on the materials submitted for the preapplication meeting. The concurrency application fee must be
paid in full at the time the concurrency permit application is submitted with the land use application. The
fee may change based on any changes in the estimated weekday PM peak hour trips as identified in the
concurrency application. The applicant has the option of having an independent traffic engineer prepare
the concurrency analysis consistent with city procedures; however, the fee remains the same.
Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) (FWRC 19.135)
4. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared by engineer licensed in the state of Washington is required for
this development project. The engineer should contact the Traffic Division for a scoping sheet in the
initial stages of their study. The TIA should include the following analysis:
• Queuing analysis access points for morning, evening, and Saturday peak hours.
Transportation Impact Fees (TIF) (FWRC 19.91)
5, Based on the submitted materials to increase the store by approximately 2,305 square feet, the estimate
traffic impact fee is $18,420. Please note, the actual impact fee will be calculated at the time a completed
building permit application is filed and must be paid prior to permit issuance.

Street Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135)
6. Based on King County Assessor's record and the submitted materials, it appears this proposal meets the
25 percent threshold criteria for requiring street frontage improvements as identified in the FWRC
19.135.030. The applicant/owner may submit an appraisal for the subject property. The Public Works
Development Services Division will evaluate the submitted appraisal data to determine if the project
actually meets the city's 25 percent threshold for requiring street frontage improvements.
7. If the proposed project meets the 25 percent threshold, the applicant/owner will be expected to
construct street improvements consistent with the planned roadway cross -sections as shown in Map II1-4
in .Chapter III of the Federal lVay Camp rbeafive Plan (FWCP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
shown as Table III-10 (FWRC 19.135.040). Based on the materials submitted, staff conducted a limited
analysis to determine the required street improvements. The applicant will be expected to construct
improvements on the following streets to the city's planned roadway cross -sections:
• South 352°d Street is a Principal Collector planned as a Type "M" street, consisting of 36-foot street
with curb and gutter, 6-foot planter strips with street trees, 8-foot sidewalks, and street lights in a 70-
foot right-of-way. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, five feet of right-of-way dedication and half
street improvements are required as measured from the street centerline. South 3521,d Street is
improved with vertical curb gutter, sidewalks, streetlights, etc., on both sides of the street. However,
the improvements on the north side of the street are not to current standard and will not likely meet
ADA requirements.
+ Enchanted Parkway South (SR 161) is a Principal Arterial planned as a Type "A" street, consisting of
a 90-foot street.with curb and gutter, 6-foot planter strips with street trees, 8-foot sidewalks, and
street lights in a 124-foot right-of-way. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, 12 feet of right-of-way
dedication and half street improvements are required as measured from the street centerline.
The applicant may make a written request to the Public Works Director to modify, defer, or waive the
required street improvements (FWRC 19.135.070). These modification requests currently have a nominal
review fee currently at $334.00.
Access Management (FWRC 19.135
8. The westerly driveway on South 352nd Street should be redesigned to minimize queuing and to facilitate
on site traffic circulation. This may include increasing throat length to a minimum of 50 feet and
modifying the existing standard curb cut to radius. Also, a left turn lane from the internal drive aisle into
the fueling site should be explored.
9. A mini -roundabout should be explored at the main entrance to Costco and The Home Depot.
10. The internal driveway off of Enchanted Parkway South between the Costco fueling facility and the Olive
Garden restaurant should be redesigned to incorporate a mini -roundabout or other alternative.

11. Minimum throat length for non -single-family driveways shall be 40 feet minimum, 50 feet desirable.
Throat length is measured from the face of curb (or edge of traveled way if no curb exists) on the public
street to the first conflicting drive aisle or parking movements that would conflict with entering and
exiting traffic.
