Subject: SW 344th Way at Weyerheauser Way S Roundabout Intersection Impreovemtns - waiver of
pre -application
Isaac,
I am emailing you per a request for a waiver of the pre -application conference for the S 344th Way at Weyerhaeuser Way
S Roundabout Intersection Improvements Project (Application No. 11-05088-00 SE) . I am requesting this under Section
19.43.030 part 2(a) of the Federal W ay Revised Code based on section (1) in the simple nature of the project.
Furthermore I believe this requirement should be waived as this project has been identified in the City's 6-year
Transportation Improvement Plan, which was approved by Council.
If I could get a written waiver per part 2 of this section (below) it would be appreciated.
John Mulkey, P.E.

19.40.030 Exceptions.
The following actions are exempt from the provisions of this chapter:
(1) Development proposals and permits listed in FWRC 19.15.010(3)(b). Preapplication
conferences for such proposals and permits are optional. Optional preapplication conferences
will be scheduled by the director on a time -available basis.
(2) Projects that are granted a written waiver by the director of community development
services based on the following procedure:
(a) The applicant submits a written request to the director of community development
services for a waiver from the requirement to undergo a preapplication conference based on one
or more of the following criteria:
(i) The simple nature of the proposal;
(ii) The project would be severely impacted by the preapplication process due to
time or financial constraints outside the control of the applicant;
(iii) The site has previously undergone preapplication, site plan or other land use
review for the same or similar development proposal and it is unlikely further preapplication
review will provide any benefit to the city or applicant;
(iv) The director determines preapplication review is not in the best interest of the
city or applicant.
(b) The applicant is advised in writing that waiver of preapplication review increases the
risk of the application being incomplete or that the processing time will be increased.
