PLANNING DIVISION (Becky Chapin, 253-835-2641, rebecca.chapin@cityoffederalway.com)
Land Use Designation — The subject property is within a Neighborhood Business (BN) zone. Self-
service storage facility uses are permitted in BN zones subject to regulations set forth in FWRC
19.215.130.
Permit Requirements — The proposed development will require review under Process III, Project
Approval, in addition to review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and a Boundary
Line Adjustment (BLA).
0 Process III— Under Use Process III, the land use decision will be made by the Director of
Community and Economic Development Services following a review of the application as
provided in FWRC 19.65.010, et al.
■ Environmental Review — The proposed development requires environmental review pursuant to
the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) as the proposal exceeds the exemption threshold.
The environmental review is a component of the Process III land use application and a
completed environmental checklist with notice materials will be required. The city does utilize
the optional DNS notice procedures for applications that include a SEPA checklist. The
optional DNS process allows a combined project and anticipated environmental determination
public notice period that expedites the overall land use application process. An environmental

threshold determination made by the Director of Community and Economic Development must
be issued prior to land use or building permit approval.
Boundary Line Adjustment — The proposed buildings on the preapplication site plan show the
retail building over property lines. Buildings cannot be built over property lines and a Boundary
Line Adjustment (BLA) is required to eliminate the interior property line. A BLA is a minor
alteration in the location of lot boundaries on existing lots. Pursuant to FWRC Chapter 18.10,
"Boundary Line Adjustments", BLA applications are administratively processed. Please note
that the BLA process runs concurrently with the Process III land use process; however, the
BLA must be approved by the Director of Community and Economic Development and
recorded at King County before issuance of any new building permits.
The enclosed master land use application must accompany the formal land use, environmental,
and BLA applications. An environmental checklist is also enclosed. Please refer to the enclosed
Process III Development Submittal Requirements Checklist when preparing your plans and
associated documents.
Public Notification — Process III applications and SEPA determinations require a public notice and
14-day comment period. Within 14 days of issuing the Letter of Complete Application, a Notice of
Application and Optional DNS will be published in the Federal Way Mirror, mailed to persons
within 300 feet of the subject property, posted on the subject property, and placed at the City's three
designated notice boards. The applicant is required to submit one (1) set of stamped mailing
envelopes to persons receiving tax statements within 300 feet of the subject property. The City's GIS
Division provides this service for a nominal fee (postage is provided by the applicant) or the
applicant may provide their own mailing envelopes via King County Assessor records or title
company. Please find the enclosed mailing labels bulletin for further information.
4. Fees — The formal application must be prepared in accordance with the City's Development
Requirements checklist (enclosed) and must be accompanied by the appropriate fees. As fees change
annually, please contact Development Specialist staff for the current application fees for Use Process
III, SEPA, BLA, and other permits/reviews identified in this letter. Development Specialists can be
reached at 253-835-2607.
Geologically Hazardous Area — Geologically Hazardous Areas (GHA), steep slope areas, exist on
site. The City of Federal Way defines a steep slope as an area with a slope of 40 percent or greater,
with a vertical relief of 10 or more feet, a vertical rise of 10 feet or more for every 25 feet of
horizontal distance. Improvements may not be located within 25 feet of a GHA, unless no reasonable
alternative exists and then only if the development activity will not lead to or create any increased
erosion hazard as demonstrated by geotechnical analysis (FWRC 19.160.010).
The city did receive a Geotechnical Design Report, prepared by GeoResources, LLC, dated June 30,
2009, for a previously approved project. If you wish to utilize this report, an updated report must be
submitted for the two additional parcels and new proposed buildings. The report should also address
site conditions, building foundation, and other construction related issues.
6. Key Development Regulations — FWRC 19.215.130, Self-service storagefacility, provides specific
design and use requirements for the proposed Urban Storage project. The formal site plan must
include the following:

Mr. Linardic
Page 4
May 1, 2013
a. Required Setback — Required setbacks for self-service storage uses are 25 feet for the front and
20 feet for the side and rear yards.
b. Lot Size — The site must be a minimum of 1 acre and shall be no greater than 3 acres. As
depicted on the site plan, the site area is 134,288 square feet or 3.08 acres. However, after
reviewing King County Assessor's data it appears the total lot size is 125,670 square feet, 2.88
acres, and would meet the maximum lot size requirements. When submitting plans, please
verify the correct lot size.
c. Building Height —The height allowed is 35 feet above average building elevation (AABE)
except those portions within 100 feet of a residential zone shall not exceed 30 feet and shall be
set back a minimum of 20 feet.
d. Parking — Required parking is 1 stall for each 300 square feet of the facility's office gross floor
area. The site plan provided does not depict the office gross floor area, but adequate parking
appears to be proposed.
e. Special Regulations and Notes from Zone Use Chart —The following special regulations and
notes apply to the project:
1. The hours of operation of self-service storage facilities uses may be limited to reduce
impacts on nearby residential areas.
2. The portion of the subject property that is developed with self-service storage facilities and
related site improvements shall be no greater than three acres.
3. No single building shall contain more than 40,000 gross square feet of building area.
4. If any portion of a structure on the subject property is within 100 ft. of a residential zone,
then that portion of the structure shall not exceed 30 ft. above average building elevation
and the structure shall be set back a minimum of 20 ft. from the property line of the
residential zone.
5. No door openings for any storage unit shall be constructed directly facing any residentially
zoned property.
6. The subject property must be designed so that any on -site vehicle maneuvering space shall
be located as far as possible from any residential zone and secondarily, from any public
right-of-way.
7. Self-service storage facilities may include one accessory living facility.
8. On -site parking for one rental truck of no more than 12,000 lbs gross vehicle weight
(GVW) shall be permitted. This rental truck shall be for the use of tenants of the self-
service storage facility for the moving of personal items to and from the storage units.
9. No outdoor use, activity, or storage, is permitted associated with self-service storage
facilities.
10. No individual storage stall or locker may exceed 500 sq. ft. of floor area.
11. Uses associated with self-service storage facilities are restricted to dead storage only. The
following are specifically prohibited:
a. Commercial, wholesale, or retail sales.
b. The service, repair, or fabrication of motor vehicles, boats, trailers, lawn mowers,
appliances, or other similar equipment.
c. The operation of power tools, spray painting equipment, table saws, lathes,

13-101414 Doc I D :63311
Mr. Linardic
Page 5
May 1, 2013
e. Any use that is noxious or offensive because of odor, dust, noise, fumes, or vibration.
f. Storage of hazardous or toxic materials, and chemicals or explosive substances.
12. For self-service storage facilities, the required landscape areas must be planted with Type I
landscaping per FWRC 19.125.050 et seq. of this title when in the side and rear yard, and
with Type III landscaping when adjacent to a right-of-way. See item 98 below.
13. No maximum lot coverage is established. Instead, the buildable area will be determined by
other site development requirements, i.e., required buffers, parking lot landscaping, surface
water facilities, etc.
7. Clearing, Grading, and Tree and Vegetation Retention — FWRC 19.120 contains requirements
for clearing, grading, and tree and vegetation retention and replacement. A tree/vegetation retention
plan as required under FWRC 19.120.040(2) must be submitted with the Process III application and
incorporated into clearing and grading drawings (FWRC 19.120.040(1)).
The tree and vegetation retention/replacement plan must be prepared by a certified arborist or
certified landscape architect and should include applicable information provided in the Clearing,
Grading, and Tree and Vegetation Retention section of the FWRC. The standards require each
development to maintain a minimum tree unit density. The minimum tree density in BN zones is 20
tree units per acre. The subject property's density would be 58 tree units (20 tree units x 2.88 acres
= 57.6 tree units). A tree unit is a value assigned to existing trees retained on the property. The larger
the tree, the greater value it is assigned (e.g. an existing tree measuring between 18 inches to 24
inches qualifies as 2.5 tree units). Required tree density can be composed of retained trees and
replacement plantings per FWRC 19.120.130. (Note: Required landscaping trees may be counted in
tree density.) The tree/vegetation retention plan must clearly show where the 58 tree units are to be
located. The formal landscape plans must detail information about tree unit credits and replacement,
and reflect protection techniques for any tree and vegetation retention areas.
If an applicant cannot provide for the minimum required tree units per acre on site, off -site
mitigation or a fee -in -lieu payment into the city's urban forestry account may be approved by the
director. See FWRC 19.120.140 for off -site mitigation and fee -in -lieu payment requirements.
Landscaping — A landscape plan prepared by a Washington State licensed landscape architect shall
be submitted with the formal application. It must depict perimeter and interior parking lot
landscaping requirements under FWRC 19.125 et al as follows:
a. Perimeter Landscaping — Landscaping that provides separation and screening of uses from
adjacent properties is required under FWRC 19.125.060(5), which calls for Type III
landscaping five feet in width along the western property lines adjacent to the rights -of -way;
Type I landscaping fifteen feet in width along the east property line adjacent to the residential
zone; and Type III landscaping five feet in width along the balance of the site. However, note
#12 of special regulations and notes states: For self-service storage facilities, the required
landscape areas must be planted with Type I landscaping per FWRC 19.125.050 et seq. of this
title when in the side and rear yard, and with Type III landscaping when adjacent to a right-of-
way. In this case, only those portions adjacent to the right-of-way may receive Type III
landscaping. All other property lines must receive Type I landscaping.
Type I landscaping is intended to provide a solid sight barrier to totally separate uses that
consist of evergreen trees, large shrubs and groundcover; which will provide a 100 percent
sight -obscuring screen within three years from the time of planting; or a combination of
13-101414 Doc I D :63311
Mr. Linardic
Page 6
May 1, 2013
approximately 75 percent evergreen and 25 percent deciduous trees, with an allowable five
percent variance, with large shrubs, and groundcover backed by a 100 percent sight -obscuring
fence. Tree, shrub, and groundcover spacing shall be appropriate for the species type.
b. Interior Parking Lot Landscaping — Interior lot landscaping per parking space is required in
accordance with FWRC 19.125.070(b)(1), "Parking Lot Landscaping." Type IV landscaping is
required to be installed at the ends of all rows of parking and disbursed throughout the interior
parking area, in the amount of 20 square feet per parking stall, or 400 square feet is required for
this project. List the square footage of each interior parking lot landscape island on the
landscape plan. Only those landscape areas that are adjacent to a parking stall will qualify as
interior parking lot landscaping.
c. Parking Lot Screening — Methods to screen parking and driving surfaces from adjacent public
streets include methods such as berms at least three feet in height within the perimeter
landscape areas; or substantial shrub plantings or architectural feature to reduce the visual
impact of parking areas and screen automobiles in FWRC 19-125.070(e)(1). This is required
along the west side of the site to screen vehicles from the street.
Community Design Guidelines — Community Design Guidelines are applicable for the storage
facility as provided in FWRC 19.115 et al. The Director will issue a design decision in conjunction
with the land use decision. BN zone specific standards and general design standards apply to this
project. Guidelines are to be consulted in their entirety when preparing an application. Project
designers should strive for overall design continuity by using similar elements throughout the project
such as architectural style and features, materials, colors, and textures. The formal land use
application should include a written narrative identifying any mitigating design factors.
General guidelines in FWRC 19.115.060(2) and (3) Building Design all zones that apply to the
proposed project are summarized below:
a. Facade Treatment — Building facades that are longer than 60 feet and visible from either a
right-of-way or residential zone shall incorporate two of the four required treatments of
FWRC 19.115.060(2), (a) Facade modulation, (b) Landscape screening, (c) Canopy or
arcade, (d) Pedestrian plaza. However, facades that are solidly screened by Type I
landscaping may use facade modulation as the sole option.
b. Building Articulation and Scale — Building facades visible from rights -of -way and other
public areas, in addition to blank walls, should incorporate methods of articulation and
accessory elements per FWRC19.115.060(3).
■ BN Zone — BN zone related supplemental guidelines in FWRC 19.115.090(1)(a) through (s)
apply as follows:
a. Surface parking may be located behind the building, to the side(s) of the building, or
adjacent to the right-of-way; provided, however, that parking located adjacent to the right-
of-way maximizes pedestrian access and circulation pursuant to FWRC 19.115.050(4).
b. Entrance facades shall front on, face, or be clearly recognizable from the right-of-way; and
shall incorporate windows and other methods of articulation.
c. Building entrances shall be architecturally emphasized and shall incorporate transparent
glass.
13-101414 Doc I.D.:63311
Mr. Linardic
Page 7
May 1, 2013
d. Ground floor entrances to retail sales or services shall incorporate plaza features or
furnishings, and/or streetscape amenities, in a context -sensitive amount and combination,
considering the scale of the retail use(s) and entrance(s) to the overall building or
development, and the proximity and access to other existing plaza or streetscape features.
Plans do not depict any of these elements. If the self -storage business includes a retail
component such as packing boxes or tape, etc., these features will be required.
e. Ground -level mirrored or reflective glass is not allowed adjacent to a public right-of-way or
pedestrian area. Formal plans shall identify the glazing materials.
f. If utilized, chain -link fences visible from public rights -of -way or adjacent properties, and
not screened by Type I landscaping as defined by Chapter 19.125 FWRC, shall utilize
vinyl -coated mesh, powder -coated poles, dark color(s), and architectural element(s) such as
pole caps and/or decorative grid pattern.
n. All new buildings, including accessory buildings such as carports and garages in the BN
zone shall appear to have a roof pitch ranging from at least 4:12 to a maximum of 12:12.
Lighting — The lighting plan must provide the specific type of lighting used on each building
fagade and parking area. Denote the height and candle footage of each light on the plan, and
confirm the associated wattage of lighting at the east property line. No glare is to extend off the
subject property per FWRC 19-105.030(3).
• Pedestrian Access — Per FWRC 19.115.090(1)(i), pedestrian walkways (minimum six feet
wide) shall be provided between the interior of the project/office building and the public
sidewalk.
10. Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) — FWRC 19.115.010(2) CPTED,
requires minimum standards for design review to reduce the rate of crime associated with persons
and property, thus providing for the highest standards of public safety. CPTED principles are: 1)
natural surveillance; 2) access control; and 3) ownership. The enclosed CPTED checklist must be
completed and submitted with the formal application, and CPTED principles should be incorporated
into the project as applicable.
11. Garbage/Recycling — No facilities for garbage and recycling are shown. FWRC 19.125.150 requires
that storage areas for garbage and recycling receptacles be required for all new commercial
developments. The formal application must note the specific size, design, location, and screening of
garbage receptacles as required by FWRC 19.125.150 and 19.125.040. Locations for the recycling
and garbage facilities, and any fencing or screening details, must be depicted on the formal site plan.

3. The applicant shall provide a geotechnical report that addresses design pavement thickness for the
roadways.
4. 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.
5. 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 will 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.

PUBLIC WORKS TRAFFIC DIVISION (Sarady Long, 253-835-2743, sarady.long@cityoffederalway.com)
Transportation Concurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90)
1. A concurrency permit is required for this development project. The concurrency analysis will
determine if adequate roadway capacity exists during the weekday PM peak period to accommodate
the proposed development project. 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).
2. Based on the submitted materials for 80,475 square feet self -storage facility, the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation - 8t' Edition, land use code 151 (Mini -Warehouse),
staff is not able to estimate the number of trips generated by the project. Please provide the total
13-101414 Doc I.D.:63311
Mr. Linardic
Page 10
May 1, 2013
number of storage units. Based on the total square feet, staff anticipate that this project will generate
about 52 new weekday PM peak hour trips. This is just an estimate and staff would need the total
storage units in order to correctly estimate the development trip generation.
The estimated fee for the concurrency permit application is $3,374.50 (51— 500 Trips). This fee is
an estimate and based on the materials submitted during the preapplication meeting. The
concurrency application fee must be paid in full at the time the concurrency permit application is
submitted with land use application. The fee may change based on the new weekday PM peak hour
trips as identified in the concurrency trip generation. 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 Fees (TIE) (FWRC 19.91)
Based on the submitted materials for 80,475 square feet of Mini -Warehouse, the estimated traffic impact
fee is $75,887.11. Please note, the actual impact fee will be calculated based on the fee schedule in effect
at the time a building permit application is filed and must be paid prior to permit issuance.
Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) (FWRC 19.135)
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:
• Turn lanes warrant analysis at site accesses.
• Sight distance analysis per AASHTO for the proposed access.
■ Queuing analysis of access points during the morning, evening, and Saturday peak hours.
Street Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135)
1. The applicant/owner would be expected to construct street improvements consistent with the planned
roadway cross -sections as shown in Map III-6 of the FWCP and Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) shown as Table III-19 (FWRC 19.135.040). Based on the materials submitted, staff conducted
a limited analysis to determine the required street improvements. The applicant would be expected to
construct improvements on the following streets to the City's planned roadway cross -sections:
Military Road is a Principal Arterial planned as a Type "G" street shown in Table III-19,
consisting of a 66' street with curb and gutter, 6' planter strips with street trees, 8' sidewalks,
and street lights in a 100' right-of-way (ROW). Assuming a symmetrical cross section, 8' ROW
dedication and half street improvements are required as measured from the street centerline.
The owner may be required to dedicate additional right-of-way (ROW) to accommodate additional
turn lane improvements if identified in the transportation analysis and/or property corner radius.
3. 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). Information about a right-of-way
modification request is available through the Public Works Development Services Division. Please
note that these modification requests have a nominal review fee currently at $91.50.

4. Tapers and transitions beyond the project frontage may be required as deemed necessary for safety
purposes, taper rate shall be WS^2/60 or as directed by the Public Works Director.
Access Management (FWRC 19.135)
Access management standards are based on roadway safety and capacity requirements. FWRC
19.135.280 provides access standards for streets based on planned roadway cross -sections. Please
note that access classifications are per Drawing 3-1A in the Public Works Development Standards.
2. Access may be further restricted if such access would interfere with the 95`b percentile queue lengths
from any existing traffic control device.
3. Specify if a gate will be installed at the main entrance. If installed, please ensure that the gate be
located at least 40' from the edge of travelled way and include a turn around. Please verify with Fire
Department.
4. This property does not have the 660 feet minimum street frontage to allow a second access driveway
onto Military Road South. Staff would support a second driveway limited to exit only if access
spacing and sight distance can be met.
5. For driveways that serve uses other than single-family residential uses and zero lot line townhouse
development, the maximum driveway width is 30 feet for a two-lane two-way driveway and 40 feet
for a three -lane two-way driveway (FWRC 19.135.270). Driveway widths may be increased in order
to provide adequate width for vehicles that may be reasonably expected to use the driveway, as
determined by the Public Works Director.
6. Please submit intersection sight distance analysis for the proposed access driveway/intersection on
Military Road South. The analysis shall be conducted in accordance to the latest AASHTO
guidelines (3.5 ft object height, 3.5 ft driver's eye height, 14.5 ft back from the edge of the traveled
way for passenger vehicles). The analysis must bear the seal of a licensed engineer in the state of
Washington. The sight distance triangle shall be depicted on the plan set.
Please provide photo documentation within the appendix of the sight distance analysis. A minimum
of one photo looking to the left and one looking to the right will show the location of the viewer in
accordance to AASHTO guidelines. The Site Plan with plan and profile sheets should also be
incorporated into the report to provide the site distance documentation. Indicate if there are any
street trees, landscaping requirements, or any other objects existing or proposed to be within the
sight distance triangle. State if the sight distance requirements are met or not and provide any traffic
safety mitigation measures.
The applicant's engineer needs to submit a Vehicle Turning Diagram to the Public Works Traffic
Division. This diagram will show how the appropriate design vehicle (such as: Bus, Garbage Truck,
and WB-62) can enter, maneuver, and leave the site without encroaching onto opposing traffic lanes
or mounting a curb. The Site Plan should be modified accordingly.

PUBLIC WORKS - SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING DIVISION (Rob Van Orsow, 253-835-2770,
robv@cityoffederalway.com)
Solid Waste & Recycling Design Considerations
Solid waste and recycling design considerations include:
■ Adequate space allocation for interior and exterior garbage, recycling, food waste, waste oil, yard
debris, hazardous waste, or biohazard collection containers. Minimum recycling space allocation is
established by FWRC 19.125.150.
• For basic solid waste and recycling needs within a single enclosure, clear interior dimensions
measuring 10' deep by 20' across are recommended, along with a two -door swing -open or roll -open
gate that spans the front width of the enclosure. When gate doors are opened, no structure or
hardware should remain above grade across the enclosure opening. Gate pins/holes are preferred for
holding gates in closed and open positions to ease service access and maximize the life of gate
hardware.
• Sites may require a larger enclosure, or multiple enclosures, to accommodate on -site user access
and/or additional waste types and containers.
• Plan for user access to interior waste and recycling storage areas/containers, and to exterior
containers screened by enclosure(s).
■ Plan for unobstructed, safe enclosure ingress and egress for service vehicles, directly in line with
enclosure openings. Allow appropriate turning radii for service vehicles, and minimize potential
`blind spots' during ingress and egress.
• Consider landscaping, setbacks and screening requirements [based on FWRC 19.125.040 (4) & (5)].
• Note that larger -scale commercial developments may see long-term savings from the use of on -site
waste compaction equipment. Planning for this equipment may require larger enclosure dimensions,
defined overhead clearances, consideration of power utility access, and drainage management.
Help with many design parameters related to service access is available via the City's contracted solid
waste services provider, Waste Management. Contact: John Davis — Senior Route Manager at 206-786-
4530 (cell).

LAKEHAVEN UTILITY DISTRICT (Brian Asbury, 253-946-5407, BAsbury@lakehaven.org)
Water
• A Certificate of Water Availability (application form enclosed) issued separately by Lakehaven may
be required to be submitted with any land use and/or building permit applications (check with land
use agency for requirement). Certificate is valid for one (1) year from date of issuance. If Certificate
is needed, allow 10 work days to issue for typical, 3 work days for accelerated, processing.
• Existing water system hydraulic model information for this site/area (FF #101) indicates that
Lakehaven's standard maximum allowable system velocity of 10 ft/s is exceeded at a fire flow rate
greater than 5,300 gpm. Fire flow capacities greater than 5,300 gpm may be accommodated through
water system improvements.
■ A Developer Extension Agreement will be required to construct new and/or abandon existing water
distribution facilities for the proposed development. Additional detail and/or design requirements
can be obtained from Lakehaven by completing & submitting a separate application to Lakehaven
for a Developer Extension Agreement (application form enclosed). It appears two (2) separate 8"
diameter, dead-end extensions east in new drive aisle areas should be sufficient for the proposed
development. Lakehaven continues to encourage owners/developers/applicants to apply for
Lakehaven processes separately to Lakehaven, early in the pre-design/planning phase to avoid
delays in overall project development.
• The site has the following existing water service connections:
o Domestic -Residential, SN 12696: One (1), 5/8"x3/4" meter.
o Irrigation: None.
o Fire Protection: None.
■ A water service connection application submitted separately to Lakehaven is required for each new
service connection to the water distribution system, or any modification to an existing water service
connection (e.g., larger service, irrigation, abandonment of existing service(s), re -activation, etc.), in
accordance with standards defined in Lakehaven's current `Fees and Charges Resolution'. Non -
single -family properties require separate domestic, irrigation (if irrigated landscaped areas are
incorporated into the site development), and fire protection (if required or installed) water service
connections.
+ Installation & satisfactory testing of an approved backflow prevention assembly (BPA) adjacent to
each domestic &/or irrigation service meter is required pursuant to WAC 246-290-490 & Lakehaven
standards. As a low cross -connection hazard, either a double check valve assembly (DCVA) or a
reduced pressure backflow assembly (RPBA) is required. Contact Lakehaven's Cross -Connection
Control Program Manager (Chris Zoepfl, CZoepfla Lakehaven,org„ 253-946-5427) for additional
information & BPA testing coordination.
+ If a separate fire protection service connection is needed or desired, installation & satisfactory
testing of a separate approved backflow prevention assembly (BPA) is required pursuant to WAC
246-290-490 & Lakehaven standards. As a low cross -connection hazard, a double check detector
assembly (DCDA) or a reduced pressure detector assembly (RPDA) is required for 3" & larger
connections; for 2" & smaller connections a separate full -flow meter with a Double Check Valve
Assembly or RPBA is typical. Contact Lakehaven's Cross -Connection Control Program Manager
(Chris Zoepfl, CZoepfl@Lakehaven.gM, 253-946-5427) for additional information & BPA testing
coordination.
+ The associated Developer Extension Agreement must achieve a point of either Substantial
Completion or Acceptance, as determined by Lakehaven, prior to activating any new domestic or
irrigation water service connection(s).
