Re: File No. 01-100174-000-00-UP; PROCESS II APPROVAL
Tosco Canopy Replacement and Expansion; 28718 Military Road
Dear Mr. Lakey:
The City has completed administrative review of the Tosco Marketing Company proposal to
replace the existing fuel canopy and other site improvements at 28718 Military Road, Federal
Way. The Process II application is hereby approved based on the enclosed Findings and
Conclusions for Application No. 01-100174-00-UP.
The effective date of the decision is March 19, 2001. Pursuant to Federal Way City Code
(FWCC) Section 22-368, this decision may be appealed in the form of a letter delivered to the
Department of Community Development Services (33530 First Way South, PO Box 9718,
Federal Way, WA 98063-9718) by April 2, 2001, by any person who submitted comments or
receives a copy of this decision. An appeal letter must contain a clear reference to the matter
being appealed and a statement of the factual findings and conclusions of the Director of
Community Development Services disputed by the person filing the appeal, and must include
the appeal fee of $121. Any appeal of this Process II decision will be heard by the Federal Way
Hearing Examiner.
Please be advised that since you are the only party of record for this application, you may waive
your right to appeal. The City must receive this waiver in writing. Waiver of the right to appeal
does not effect the issuance date. Therefore, if you choose to waive your right to appeal, you
could begin work on the proposal on March 20, 2001, provided you have obtained the
necessary building permit.
Unless modified or appealed, this site plan approval is valid for one year from the effective date
of this decision. If no further action is taken within one year, the decision will expire. A one-
time six-month extension may be granted only if a written request is submitted to the City's
Department of Community Development Services (33530 First Way South, PO Box 9718,
Federal Way, WA, 98063-9718), at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the decision.
Mr. Marin Lakey

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
For Application No. 01-100174-00-UP
Tosco Canopy Alteration
28718 Military Road, Federal Way
1. The applicant has proposed to replace the existing fuel canopy, raise the canopy to 14'6"
clear height, and replace with new 4' 0" fascia with light well. Perimeter landscaping will be
installed and upgraded along Military Road South and South 288"' Street.
2. Zoning for the subject site is Neighborhood Business (BN). This zoning district permits
vehicle service station uses pursuant to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Section 22-723.
The proposal is subject to Process II, Site Plan Approval, as it does not meet the land use
process exemptions under FWCC Section 22-32.
3. The proposed canopy replacement and expansion is exempt from SEPA review pursuant to
Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 197-11-800, "Categorical Exemptions."
4. The proposal has been reviewed for consistency with all applicable zoning regulations
including FWCC Section 22-723, "Neighborhood Business, Vehicle Service Stations";
FWCC Article VI, "Site Plan Approval"; FWCC Article IV, "Nonconformance"; FWCC
Article XVII, "Landscaping"; and Article XIX, "Community Design Guidelines."
5. Nonconformance: The proposal involves alterations and changes to an improvement that is
nonconforming and the fair market value of the alteration exceeds 50 percent of the assessed
value of that improvement. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-334(6), in the event that this
subsection is triggered with respect to a particular use at a site, the applicant shall meet all
development regulations applicable to that use on the property. This will be achieved by
upgrading the perimeter landscaping in the geographic portion of the site related to the fuel
canopy.
6. Landscaping: The proposal includes providing Type III landscaping five feet in width in the
existing perimeter landscape bed located on the corner of Military Road South and South
288`h Street. The applicant shall install a new six-foot wide landscape island with curbing
and five feet of Type III landscaping to the north of the northerly entry on Military Road
South. The applicant shall install a six-foot wide landscape island between the two existing
entry drives along South 266`" Street. This landscape bed will be planted with five feet of
Type III landscaping and curbing shall be provided around the landscape island.
7. Design Guidelines: Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1632, all commercial applications for
alterations or changes shall meet only those provisions of "Community Design Guidelines"
that are determined by the Director of Community Development Services to be reasonably
related and applicable to the area of expansion or remodeling. This will be achieved by
using materials and design features for the new canopy that reflect the materials and design
of the primary structure.
8. The Public Works Department has determined that this project does not trigger any street
improvements as the cost of improvements proposed on the subject site do not exceed 25
percent of the assessed value of all existing structures on site.
9. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-394(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.
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.

RE: Request for Pre Application Conference Waiver; File No. 01-100174-
000-00-UP; TOSCO CANOPY UPGRADE
28718 Military Road South
Dear Mr. Lakey:
This letter is in response to your January 17, 2001, request for a waiver from the required pre -
application process for your proposal to remove existing fascia on an existing fuel canopy, raise
the canopy to 14'6" clear height, and replace with a new 4'0" fascia with lightwell at the above
referenced address. You state in your letter that this project is identical in scope to another
canopy replacement that underwent a pre -application conference with the City on November
30, 2000.
You requested an exemption from pre -application conference requirements because the City
has already reviewed a similar development proposal in the same zoning district and it is
unlikely further pre -application review will provide any benefit to the City or applicant. Pursuant
to Federal Way Code (FWCC) Section 22-1653, a pre -application waiver may be granted by the
Director of Community Development Services if the applicant submits a written request for a
waiver from the requirements based on such a condition.
In light of the above listed considerations and pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1653(2)(a) "Pre -
application Conference," the City of Federal Way agrees to grant a waiver from the required
pre -application process for this project. However, be advised that waiver of pre -application
review increases the risk of the application being incomplete or that the processing time will be
increased.
Please call Jane Gamble, Associate Planner, at 253-661-4120 with any questions.
Sincerely,

RE: Notice of Complete Application and Request forAdditional Information;
File No. 01-100174-000-00-UP; TOSCO CANOPY UPGRADE
28718 Military Road South
Dear Mr. Lakey:
The Department of Community Development Services has completed a review of your proposed renovation to
the existing fuel canopy expansion at the above referenced address. The zoning for this site is Neighborhood
Business (BN). Your application is deemed complete as of today's date, February 5, 2001. However, in order
to continue the processing of your application, the following information is required.
Landscape Requirements
You have submitted a landscape plan that indicates some existing vegetation in the perimeter landscape beds
located on the corner of Military Road South and South 288th Street, and along Military Road South. Pursuant
to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Section 22-334(6), if an applicant is making any alteration or change to an
improvement that is nonconforming and the fair market value of the alteration exceeds 50 percent of the
assessed value of that improvement, then the applicant shall comply with those development regulations
applicable to geographic portion of the site occupied by that use. It has been determined that the perimeter
landscaping along Military Road South and South 288th Street must be brought into compliance with current
City code in conjunction with this project.
Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1566(e)(1), Type III landscaping five feet in width is required along all
properties abutting public rights -of -way for this site. To achieve geographic compliance with this landscape
requirement, the existing landscaping beds depicted on the submitted landscape plans must be augmented
with deciduous trees and ground cover. Submit a modification request for the existing landscape bed between
the two driveway entry points along Military Road South. This particular landscape area is well established
with tall shrubs, and in order to plant trees or groundcover, the existing vegetation would have to be
disturbed. Instructions for modification submittal requirements are enclosed.
In addition to augmenting the existing perimeter landscaping, a five foot wide planting strip must be installed
along the lot line facing the right-of-way between the two driveways fronting South 288th Street. Please see
redlined site plans for details. This area is to be planted with a mixture of deciduous trees interspersed with
large shrubs, 24" in height and ground cover planted at 18" on center in a triangular pattern, as per code
requirements listed in FWCC Section 22-1565. Permanent 6" high concrete curbing shall be provided along all
landscape areas. Please revise the landscape plan to reflect these requirements.
The perimeter lot line to the north of the northerly entrance on Military Road South also fails to meet Federal
Way City Code in terms of landscaping requirements. There is currently nothing separating the parking stalls
facing the right-of-way from the sidewalk on Military Road South. Pursuant to FWCC 22-1567(e), parking
areas adjacent to public right-of-way shall incorporate berms at least three feet in height within perimeter
landscape areas; or alternatively, substantial shrub plantings may be added to the required perimeter
landscape type. Please submit a revised landscape plan showing a five' wide planting strip of Type III
landscaping on a 3' berm along the northern 70' of the perimeter lot line abutting Military Road South. The
enclosed redline landscape plans detail this requirement.
Parking
Please be advised that the parking that is currently accommodated in the northwest corner of the site will
need to be re -striped in conjunction with the installation of the required perimeter landscaping in this area.
Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1567(c) a minimum 6' landscape island is required to the south of the parking
row. A Type IV landscaping consisting of trees, shrubs and ground cover is required :for parking:lot landscape
islands. Please see the redlined site plan and enclosed landscape chapter for details.
In amending your landscape plans please clearly reflect the property line. Your submitted plans show existing
arborvitae and pine trees that would appear to be located on the adjoining property. The landscape plan
should only reflect vegetation located on the subject site.
Canopy Size
Please refer to the enclosed comments from Lakehaven Utility District. The applicant may wish to ensure that
the new canopy is large enough to meet the District's pretreatment requirements for:pump island discharge,
should the pump island ever be required to connect to sanitary sewer in the future, as is the case for all new
service stations . Please contact Brian Asbury at (253) 946-5407 for the specific requirements.
Also, please revise sheet A-O on your site plans to reflect an accurate vicinity map. The submitted plans
appear to be for the Tosco site located on 21� Avenue SW.
After receipt of the requested information we will notify you within 14 days whether any additional information
is needed to further process your application. Pursuant to statutory requirements, the City has 120 days from
the date of complete application to approve, disapprove, or return the application, unless the applicant
consents to an extension of such time period.
We look forward to proceeding with technical review on this application. Please feel free to contact me if you
have any questions or concerns. I can be reached at (253) 661-4120.

Dear Ms. Gamble:
E s t a b l i s h e d 1 9 6 6
This letter is in regards to our Tosco Canopy Upgrade Project located at 28718 Military
Road. Our firm submitted a design review package on January 17, 2001. Part of that
CECIL R. SPENCER
Vice P r e s i d e n t package was a landscape plan with existing vegetation.
Principal
On February 6, 2001, our firm received a response letter from the City of Federal Way.
One comment was made about the planting curb between the two driveway entry points
along Military Road South. This area has vegetation that is already established. Type III
landscaping is required as part of the project to bring the site into conformance. This would
CHRIS L A W T O N involve planting deciduous trees and ground cover in that planter.
Regional AVlanageP
Associate
In order to plant the new vegetation in that existing planter, the City recommended that our
firm submit a modification request. Please accept our modification submittal for this action.
If you have any concerns, questions, or need additional information, feel free to contact me
JOHN W. STROBEL at 425-818-6314.
