The variance request has been revised per the request of the City of Federal Way Planning Department to add additional information beneficial to the Client's request. The overall proposed project consists of one existing parcel, (Parcel No. 02021049087) which total approximately 0.574 acres (25,000 sf before dedication) in size. The property is owned by Mr. Steve Davis who is parking vehicles in the rear of the property. The existing residential structures were recently damaged by an electrical fire and they are in the process of being demolished by the Owner. The proposed re -development of the parcel is for the installation of an 1820 sf automated recycling car wash structure, an attached 247 sf two (2) story office, six (6) vacuum parking stations, a total of 13 parking stalls, new sanitary sewer service, underground surface water detention vault, a Filterra water quality treatment unit and associated asphalt pavement for circulation, see Drawings A-1.0 &A-2.0. The current zoning classification for the site is CE — Commercial Enterprise according to the GIS Zoning Map and the proposed uses are permitted out right in the CE zone. VARIANCE DESCRIPTION Due to the geometric configuration of the of the existing parcel and the dimensions of the proposed automated car wash facility with it's entrance and exit requirements for turning movements associated with vehicular circulation the current longitudinal north -south orientation of the structure is the only option available to obtain the minimum emergency vehicle access width of 20 feet in the exiting drive lane. This addresses the north -south 09156-Variance 130814.doc portion of the siting of the structures, now we must look at the east -west oriezitation of the car wash structure. The existing building setback requirements for the CE zone require a 15-foot building setback along the eastern property boundary as shown on Drawing PD-1. With the existing CE Zone setback there is insufficient width (13-feet) to efficiently and safely establish minimum parking aisle and backing width adjacent to the six (6) vacuum stall and the ingress aisle for the car wash. The lack of minimum aisle width would lead the project's overall safety due to the deficient design causing potential accidents and restricted circulation that would inhibit the proper operation of the facility. This would also affect the ability for recycling/refuse vehicles to efficiently ingress/egress the proposed dumpster area at the rear of the car wash facility. The supplier of the carwash equipment, D-S Car Wash, Inc., has supplied an August 5, 2013 letter (enclosed) confirming that they strongly recommend a 10 car cueing for adequate operation of the carwash. The letter also states that the City of Seattle code requires a 10 car cueing for a carwash facility in the City of Seattle. The supplier also has site plans that incorporate two access pay stations/queuing lanes, but due to the East-West dimension of the parcel two lanes are not feasible, therefore we are limited to the less owner desirable one lane ten car stacking option. The Client has visited the few carwash facilities in the demographic area and seen heavy customer traffic/stacking, especially during the weekends that have caused heavy congestion and access difficulties to these facilities and the surrounding public right-of-way (ROW). The Client wish to develop a facility that affords the best possible site configuration that allows for maximum ease of access and circulation for the customer and the public on both the site and the public ROW in an effort to promote a profitable business and public safety. Our proposed variance is to reduce the required building setback along the eastern property boundary to 5-feet from 15-feet to provide a safe minimum aisle and backing width to allow for overall proper safe vehicle site circulation, see Drawing V-1. The overall premise of our proposal has no apparent affects to any adjacent properties and allows for a safe efficient onsite design. The existing improvements of the King County Metro Park and Ride Facility just east of our project site includes 10'-12' tall screened concrete retaining wall approximately 12.85' off the parcel boundary and has mature evergreen trees at the base and above the wall that screen the park and ride facility from the surrounding parcels. There is no intended pedestrian or vehicle access designed into the 12.85' landscaped area at the base of the wall and there are no existing ingress/egress easements upon the Davis Parcel for Metro Transit to access the area below the wall. Therefore there would be no visual or interactive conflicts with the normal everyday operation of the King County Park and Ride facility or the patrons. The existing mature evergreen trees screening the west side of the park and ride facility are much taller than the total proposed height of the carwash facility (17.5') and office (24'), neither of which will be visible from the pavement level of the park and ride. 2 09156-Variance 130814.doc Variance Criteria Discussion A. The proposed reduction in the building setback from 15' to 5' along the eastern property boundary does not constitute a granting of a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon surrounding properties. The approval of our proposed variance would be geometrically and topographically unique due to the height of the existing wall and mature screening evergreen trees at both the top and bottom of the wall and the lack of active design use of the any of the property below the wall. Secondarily the unique defined use of the adjacent parcel as a Metro park and ride facility with only distant seldom used parking stalls directly adjacent to the common property line sets this situation aside from all other potential variance requests that may be requested by any surrounding properties in the future. The western boundary of the parcel is a community park facility owned by the City of Federal Way that incorporates the West Hylebos Wetland Complex that will be preserved for eternity. We are confident that there are no other parcels of this size within the CE zone that have the same surrounding uses located within the City of Federal Way. B. The variance is necessary due to the special geometric constraints of both the parcel dimensions, small square footage parcel size and encroachment of the 200 foot wetland buffer from the West Hylebos Wetlands Park adjacent to the south and west side of the parcel that requires the dedication of 958 sf, 3.99% of the parcel after the prior City required dedication of a 10-foot width of the property frontage adjacent to the S. 348" Street ROW for future road widening. Without the variance the Property Owner would not be able to effectively utilize the property as a car wash facility as an outright permitted use within the CE Zone due to the lack of an adequate (minimum) parking aisle width, safe backing area for the six (6) vacuum stalls adjacent to the west side of the car wash structure and proper vehicular two-way circulation for safe ingress and egress to and from the facility for customers and emergency vehicles. The surrounding parcels in the same zone in the vicinity of our proposed site are generally of a significantly larger and wider nature and appear to be less impacted by the geometric and environmental restrictions that are present on our parcel. The increased size and associated proportional geometric dimensions of the surrounding parcels allows them to be more effectively developed to meet the use requirements and functionality of the underlying uses allowed within the CE Zone than our much smaller parcel and all of it's geometric constraints. Therefore it can be said that the initial designation of a smaller parcel like ours as Commercial Enterprise, (CE), by the City of Federal Way has lead to some possibly unforeseen unique challenges in the development of the parcel with the current setback requirements of the CE zone. The Client has been associated with this parcel as a partner or as individual owner for over six years. At this point there have been many different conceptual uses investigated for the parcel and the Client has determined that the use that he believes is financially 3 09156-Variance 130814.doc feasible over the long term is to develop the parcel as a carwash facility. With the expanding population growth of the demographic area there appears to be less competition with proposed use of the parcel as a carwash and therefore an increasing demand for services since there are only a few sole single -use carwash facilities in operation within the demographic area. The original proposal prior to the recent recession, while under a partnership, was to develop the parcel as commercial office space. This proposal ran into several zoning and wetland buffer setback requirements that made this proposal both financially and functionally enviable due to the lack of leasable space and a deficiency in available parking associated with the remaining usable parcel after wetland buffer dedication. Currently the recession continues and there is a glut of available commercial office space available all over the region. The possibility of proposing a coffee shop was also investigated by the Client and it was determined that the demographics of such a facility would have substantial competition from the many surrounding stores and the lack of store frontage visibility, as the site will sit considerably below the elevation of the curb line of S. 348 h Street. The Client's area of experience and expertise also does not lie in the operation of a commercial coffee facility and Client only wishes to manage a minimal staff such as the carwash facility will require. The coffee shop option was deemed financially risky during the ongoing recession and above the level of managerial commitments that the Client wishes to undertake during this volatile fragile economic period. Therefore, by maintaining a 5-foot landscape strip along the eastern parcel boundary the Owner would be able to obtain reasonable allowable use of the property by installing the outright permitted car wash facility with properly designed safe commercial and emergency vehicular circulation as required by the City of Federal Way Code. C. The granting of this variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone primarily due to the location of the parcel being at the outskirts of the zone, surrounded by the park property on two sides. The property is already heavily screened by the existing mature evergreen trees at the base and above the retaining wall on the Metro park and ride facility. The variance will allow for proper 20 foot wide emergency vehicle access with a 10 car queue awaiting, a carwash and all of the vacuum stalls in operation and should not cause any potential back up onto S. 3480' Street that would be detrimental to the public. Therefore, we believe that both the Public and the Owner will both be benefited by the granting of the variance and that there will be no negatives that will arise from the re- development of the property. Demolition of the older existing residential structures will in itself improve the view corridors and property values of the surrounding properties and the construction of the proposed car wash facility will create a more valuable source of commercial property tax for the public coffers. 09156-Variance 130814.doc D. As previously stated in the above arguments the special circumstances of the subject property are not a result of actions taken by the Owner. The special circumstances surrounding this variance request are the smaller size and existing geometric dimensions of the parcel, the encroachment of an existing wetland buffer at the southwest corner of the parcel and the subsequent loss of area and required dedication of the buffer and a City mandated 10-foot frontage dedication of future right-of-way (ROW) adjacent to the S. 348" Street ROW. Without the variance and with consideration of the manufacturer's recommended vehicle stacking of 10 vehicles for proper operation of the facility, the recommended staking would be in conflict with the available ingress/egress/backing width requirements to obtain required emergency vehicle access all along the length of the length of the vacuum stalls at the west side of the car wash facility. Therefore, the standard packaged car wash facility creates a special circumstance that that requires a variance to provide properly designed safe commercial/emergency vehicular circulation as required by the City of Federal Way Code to allow the outright permitted use available to the Owner. We hope that the Director of Community and Economic Development Department and the Hearing Examiner will undertake a deep consideration of our proposed variance and grant approval of the variance to allow beneficial re -development project to move forward.

Federal, Way, WA. 98003 Ref: Car wash building location as shown on V-1, Variance Proposal Site Plan. Dear Mr. Davis; You asked me if it were possible to move the proposed car wash building location, as shown on your V-1 Variance Proposal Site Plan, farther to the West and not negatively affect the business. The layout as shown is the best possible use of the property. When laying out the location of the building the design must allow for adequate traffic flow to avoid traffic patterns that will cause congestion and also allow for adequate cueing (Seattle requires 10 car cueing for a car wash). The current building location allows vehicles easy access to the car wash building entrance, allows adequate cueing, provides an exit lane if a vehicle is prohibited from entering the car wash building and provides customers easy access to enter/exit the vacuum stalls. Customers will be able to easily enter the site, wash their vehicle, use support products (vacuums/vending) and exit the site without undue congestion. Moving the building farther to the West will cause conflicting traffic patterns that will cause congestion, limit customer use of support products and will negatively impact your business. I strongly do not recommend relocating the car wash building farther to the West. Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional information. Best Regards David A.

At this time we would like to submit our report to you for your review and approval as required in accordance with the City of Federal Way Municipal Code (FWMC) for protecting critical wetland areas. For details about our original findings and methodology used for wetland determination and delineation, together with applicable map data and information for wetland regulation and buffer standards from the FWMC, please refer to the original JCA reports for this same property titled "Wetland Verification Report for the Joseph Pircey Site @ Federal Way" dated February 18, 2006, and the "Revised Wetland Verification for the John McHugh Site @ Federal Way" [same site] dated October 26, 2007. Summary _of_Background Information: As a matter of background, John Comis Associates (JCA) has conducted site visits and field investigations at the subject property beginning in 2005 thru 2007, and now in 2012. That work included preparation of 2 wetland verification reports for the `Joseph Pircey Site' dated 2/21/2005 (a reconnaissance report) and 2/18/2006 (a detailed verification report). Both reports generally examined the onsite area and adjacent offsite areas within 150 feet of the project site to determine if there were any regulated jurisdictional wetlands, and recommend buffers for any regulated areas (see Field Note Sketch Maps dated 2/l/05 and 1/14/06— respectively Figures 5 & 6 in the 2006 `Pircey' report). The `Pircey' reports were subsequently reviewed at the request of the City by OTAK Consultants in August of 2006. At that time, OTAK conducted field tests within approximately 300 feet of the project site to determine if jurisdictional wetlands or streams are located within that area (see OTAC Technical Memo dated 9/29/06). Their biologist found an additional offsite wetland (designated at "TH-6", OTAK flag date Davis Wetland Report @ Federal Way By John Comis Associates Date: 1/31/13 Page 1 of 8 8/30/06) located approximately 150 to 200 feet southwest from the project site (pg 3, OTAK Memo 2006). They also concluded that the offsite wetland may be part of the larger offsite wetland complex associated with the Hylebos Creek system located to the southwest and could therefore be rated Category I, which requires a 200-foot buffer by FWMC standards. Then apparently nothing was done for the `Pircey' site until it was purchased by John McHugh in 2007. At that time he requested JCA to conduct another site visit and prepare a "Revised Wetland Verification Report for the Site @ Federal Way", which we did by Memorandum dated 10/26/07. The offsite wetland complex to the southwest was located and verified by JCA, and the smaller wetland nearest to the project site was designated as Wetland "A" at "TP-10", JCA flag date 10/18/07. The JCA flag point and test plot location was about 3 feet from the OTAK "TH-6". The distances were measured at that time by JCA using a `hip -chain' from the nearest wetland to the SW property comer and found be 156 feet (see Field Note Sketch Map [FNSM], pg. 7, dated 10/19/07). A revised report with supplemental information for the `John McHugh Site' was submitted to the City by JCA Memorandum dated 10/26/2007. That report was subsequently reviewed by the City's consultant, Grette Associates, in December 2007. They prepared a technical memorandum to the City dated 1/17/2008 that indicated the nearest wetland point to the SW property corner, which they measured indirectly by GPS plot, to be 145 feet (see Grette Figure 1 in their Jan 2008 memo). At that time, they recommended that the discrepancy in the measurement was too great and the distances should be check and verified by a survey method that would be more precise. They also recommended that the wetland category determined by JCA as Category II for the smaller wetland nearest to the site should be revised to be the higher rated Category I which they determined to be the rating for the larger offsite system to the southwest in the Hylebos Wetland by the Grette Associates biologist (Grette 2008). They generally agreed with the conclusions of our routine onsite determination and delineation method of "regulated wetlands" that we described in the reference reports. t- The field investigation had been expanded in 2007 and 2008 to include offsite wetlands that were located within 215 feet 2 of the site boundary. The identification and delineation of "regulated wetlands" was made in accordance with the City of Federal Way Critical Area Regulations for wetlands in accordance with the current standards in the Federal Way Municipal Code (FWMC). The data points were flagged with colored ribbon and marked as follows: • "WETLAND DELINEATION -number" (pink ribbon, tied to vegetation, see circled points on field note sketch maps) • "TEST PLOT -number" (blue and rg een ribbons, tied to wooden stakes or vegetation, see triangles on sketch map) (Note that JCA has marked TP#1 thru #8 on 1/14/06; TP#9 thru #13 on 10/19/07 were done for the second verification report for offsite wetlands and streams) • "TRANSECT-distance" blue ribbon, as measured by JCA and tied to vegetation) "FLAGGING BY OTAK" (pink & black stripped ribbon, tied to vegetation, see points marked "TH#" dated 8/30/06 on flags tied to vegetation as noted on the JCA field note sketch map dated 10/19/07) Summary of Current Wetland Findings: The figures and field note sketch maps provided with this report (also included with our original reports) show the relationship between the project site and the offsite wetland called "West Hylebos Wetland Complex". Please note that the open water zone (indicated as "PUBH" on the NWI map, Figure 4) is more Wetlands are delineated using the 1997 Washiirgmn Slaie etlands �[rLieallort aid laelureufian_ Ma�tual, prepared by the Washington State Department of Ecology (WDOE Publication #96-94). The WA Wetlands Manual is required to be used by all state agencies in the application of any state laws and regulations as well as any city or county in the implementation of any regulations under the Growth Management Act. This methodology has been modified at this time to be consistent with the 2010 US Army Corps of Engineers: fl ❑nn1 1 ment to the Cor o F.n ineer ;Veiland Deltneation Manewl.

This represents a reasonable distance from which a "regulated activity" should not impact a "regulated wetland". Davis Wetland Report @ Federal Way By John Comis Associates Date: 1/31/13 Page 2 of 8 than 1500 feet west of the site. The main stream corridor for "West Hylebos Creek" extends through that wetland complex 800 feet west of the site. The nearest offsite wetland to the project site that we have located by our survey is Wetland "A" and `B" located 162 feet from the southwest property corner. The Field Note Sketch Map (FNSM, Figure 6, 2012) and the Modified Site Plan (Figure 7, 2012) show the numbered data points measured by JCA on 12/13/12 and 12/20/12. At this time we used a 200 foot K&E reel chain as shown in the Photo Appendix (Photo #1), which was `tight -chained' between the closest point on Wetland "A""and the southwest property corner at the rebar and plastic cap set by ESM Engineering. A Photo Appendix is provided with this report that shows the JCA test plot at TP-10, habitat features (large trees and existing shrub vegetation in the buffer), surveyed property corner (at the galvanized metal fence post), drainage features, the measured transect line, and various other site -specific information that we have found during our field investigations. The location of property corners is based on the actual survey that was done by ESM Engineering for the site plan. We used the property corner location as the basis for offsite wetland and stream corridor locations to the south and west that are plotted to scale on the maps provided with this report (also see the original McHugh Report, 2008 for map details). JCA prepared 2 Figures 4 and 5 as supplemental data for the JCA report in 2008. These maps indicate the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) locations for wetland classes and the USGS topography and drainage map features for the offsite areas to the south and west of the site. The smaller wetland area designated as Wetland "A" is approximately 100 square feet in size and it is the closest part of the larger mosaic wetland complex that is situated southwest of the project site. Just down gradient from small Wetland "A" is a larger area designed as Wetland `B" and the boundary of the wetland is now delineated in detail from Wetland Delineation point's #A1 to #A5. Note that this is a closed boundary with associated uplands separating this mosaic wetland from the larger wetland area located about 20 feet farther to the southwest. Also note that our original hip -chain measurements have now been adjusted to correspond with the `tight -chain' measurement. The small wetlands in the outer part of the mosaic wetland appear to be connected hydrologically to the main offsite wetland complex by hydric soils as indicated at TP-10.1 (see FNSM, Figure 6). We dug this test plot in an area between Wetland "A" and `B" and found that hydric soil and hydrology are present, which indicates that the outer -most mosaic wetlands appear to be part of the main wetland area of the "West Hylebos Wetland". However, there is at least 162 feet of upland separation between the southwest property corner and the smallest mosaic wetland area. In summary, the offsite wetland that we found located nearest to the southwest property comer is designated by this revised report as Wetland "A". Generally, Wetland A appears to be a "slope wetland" and appears to be a headwater wetland associated with a stream or tributary area that drains farther offsite to the southwest. This small mosaic wetland appears to drain by subsurface flow in a southwest direction based on overall surface topography of this area. Wetland "A" is located 162 feet from the southwest property corner on a bearing of S-380-W, as adjusted for deviation, using a Brunton hand-held compass (see Figure 7 for details). This distance is measured by JCA from the closest edge of Wetland "A" to the subject site using a 200-ft reel tape stretched along a straight line between the SW property corner and the nearest point on the small Wetland "A" at JCA "TP- 10". This location is situated next to same wetland point described in the "Technical Memorandum" by OTAK as their data point marked by pink and black stripped ribbon at "TH6", dated 8/30/06. (See Photo Appendix for more details) Please note that Wetland A is located entirely offsite from the subject property. Offsite wetlands and streams are located as shown on maps included with the memorandum and report and these areas are approximately located and delineated in detail by JCA as shown on the FNSM's. Davis Wetland Report @ Federal Way By John Comis Associates Date: 1/31/13 Page 3 of 8 Earlier onsite and offsite investigations were also done by JCA during wet winter periods (February of 2005 and January of 2006) when saturation and/or inundation were found to be present within the identified wetland areas. At the October 2007 site visit there was groundwater saturation and "interflow" that we observed on 10/19/07 indicating subsurface flow was occurring along the drainage corridor at a point that is approximately 200 feet south of the site (see TP-8, FNSM pg7, 10/19/07). Vegetation classes within Wetland "A" and `B" are identified and generally characterized in accordance with Cowardin et al as follows: SUMMARY OF WETLAND VEGETATION CLASSES: WL: SYSTEM CLASS WATER REGIME abbreviation A Palustrine Scrub -Shrub/ Saturated * (PSS/emB) emergent B Palustrine Scrub -Shrub/ Saturated * (PSS/emB) emergent * saturated (B): substrate is saturated for an extended period during growing season but surface water is seldom present Wetlands "A" and "B" are part of a mosaic wetland complex, and situated at the outer -most edge of that complex. It appears to this investigator that the outer part of the mosaic wetland complex may be rated separately as Category II by the FWMC definitions (see Appendix 1, part E, for details) if it is not "contiguous with water bodies or tributaries to water bodies which under normal circumstances contain or support a fish population, including streams where flow is intermittent". However, as stated above in the background section, we have deferred to the earlier review by OTAK and Grette Associates that the mosaic wetland complex shall be rated Category I and regulated with a 200-foot standard buffer width. A minimum building setback (BSL) of 15 feet is required to be measured from the wetland buffer boundary for construction of new above -ground structures. Summary of Offsite Stream and Drainage Findings: A small drainage swale (unnamed) appears to extend to a point near the southwest comer of the site. We find that the upper -most end of sub -surface "interflow" is 53 feet south of TP2. This is located at TP13 (see FNSM pg7 10/19/07). At TP 13 we find sub -surface water in a test hole to be at 10" to 12" deep. This was measured just below the duff layer in relatively undisturbed offsite area [See FNSM page 7 for details]. Where saturation was in this test hole, we noted that there was no apparent flow but groundwater saturation and freewater were present at depth. Furthermore, we noted that there was no saturation or freewater present in a test hole that was dug to a depth of 15 inches located at TP12 just 12 feet north of TP 13 (this corresponds to a location 41' south of TP2 which is located 50 feet south of the surveyed property line). Therefore, we conclude that the closet point of sub -surface flow is 103 feet south of this site. This location is the closest point of a stream corridor to the south side of this site; and a 100-foot stream buffer does not extend into the subject property. Note that for a watercourse to be classified as a "stream" by the FWMC, it must have an ordinary high water mark which this stream corridor does not have as it is sub -surface flow in the area of the site (see Appendix 1 for details). An emergent surface drainage course is located 160 feet south of TP2. TP2 is located 50 feet south of the surveyed property. Therefore, the surface drainage course is more than 200 feet south of this property. The offsite stream corridor is NOT influenced by surface water runoff from this site. All onsite runoff will be controlled and retained within the project property as shown by the engineered drainage plan. 3 US Fish and Wildlife Service's "Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States", FWS/OBS-79/31 (Cowardin et al, 1979) Davis Wetland Report @ Federal Way By John Comis Associates Date: 1/31/13 Page 4 of 8 Summary of Recon)mend ations for Offsite Wetland Protection: Based on the current WDOE wetland rating manual for a "slope' wetland which serves as a source of hydrology for the main wetland area farther to the southwest, the mosaic wetland complex that is nearest to the site appears to be rated Category II (McHugh JCA, 2007). However, based on the rating and analysis prepared by OTAK and Grette Associates for this project site review, we are complying with a Catesory I wetland rating, together with a 200-foot standard buffer width and 154bot building setback line. I met Steve Davis at the site on 12/20/12 and we discussed the new measurement (162 feet, tight chain) from the SW property corner to the closest point on the nearest part of the mosaic Wetland "A". He showed me the new site plan drawing by the project engineer, Schweikl and Associates, PLLC, with the revised location for a storm water detention vault, which is oriented diagonally across the southwest corner of the site. At this time, the new plan is designed to provide an additional onsite area at the SW corner of the property that we measured from the property corner. This portion of the property has been left undisturbed with native vegetation that extends from the property comer to the toe of the existing slope (see Photo #4). The onsite portion of the buffer will be 38 feet wide to get a total width of 200-feet for the required standard buffer (162' offsite portion + 38' onsite portion). The revised site plan does not need a modified buffer. The total distance for the onsite and offsite buffer width is 200 feet which is in accordance with the standard buffer width as required by FWMC. No planting strip is proposed along the top of the existing fill slope, but the plan shows a 15' building setback line (dashed) for new above ground structures. A storm water detention vault may be set within that 15' setback. The top of the vault will be at the edge of the buffer boundary in this corner of the site. In this area the existing slope will be removed and it will have a vertical edge at the 200' buffer boundary line. We propose a 5' high chain link fence with slats to be constructed along the top of the fill (or vault) to provide screening for potential impacts from the site including glare, noise and intrusion. I believe this concludes our wetland and stream assessment for this area. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions about our field data, findings or recommendations.

(RS35.0) Vacant City Property H lebos Wetland V. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Proposal — The applicant submitted a Variance Master Land Use application April 15, 2013 (Exhibit Q. The applicant has requested a variance to the CE zone required 15-foot side yard setback for car wash facilities prescribed in FWRC 19.240.050. The applicant's proposed site plan (Exhibit D) depicts a 5-foot east side yard setback. Highlights of the proposed and remaining setbacks include the following: • North — 20-foot front yard setback • South —15-foot rear yard setback • West — 20-foot side yard setback ■ East — 5-foot side yard setback (proposed) 2. Property Information — The property is a 25,000 square -foot (0.57-acre) lot located in the southern portion of the city along South 348t' Street. The proposed car wash facility use is permitted in the CE zone. The applicant has demolished the two single-family houses that were on site. The subject property is now vacant. Vehicle access to the site is from South 348t' Street. Topographic data provided by the applicant and accessed from King County IMAP database details a slight slope from South 348`h Street right-of-way to the property. The site itself is flat. There is a 10-12 foot tall retaining wall on the neighboring property to the east. The properties to the south and west are vacant heavily forested sites (Exhibit E). The city's critical areas map has designated the southwest portion of the subject property as a wetland buffer area. The wetland buffer encompasses an estimated 1,390 sq. ft. of the site. 3. Procedural Benchmarks — The city issued a Letter of Complete Application within the 28-day mandated timeline on May 3, 2013. The Notice of Application was issued on May 10, 2013. Pursuant to FWRC 19.70.060, the notice was published in the Federal Way Mirror, posted on the city bulletin boards, mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property, and posted on the subject property. The Notice of Public Hearing was issued September 6, 2013, published in the Federal Way Mirror, posted on city bulletin boards, and mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property. Procedural documents and affidavits are included in Exhibit F. Steve's Car Wash Variance Request 13-101628/D.,- LD. 63777 Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 2 4. Public Comments — As of the date of this staff report, no comments have been submitted to the Department of Community and Economic Development. 5. Compliance with SEPA — The variance request is categorically exemptl from threshold determination requirements of the State Environmental Policy Act. 6. Lot Size —The King County Department of Assessments has listed the subject property lot size as 0.57 (25,000 square feet). 7. Critical Area — There is a Category I wetland off site and the associated 200-foot wetland buffer is located within the southeast corner of the subject property. The wetland buffer is estimated to be 1,390 sq. ft. 8. Site Visit — Staff conducted a site visit in August with the applicant, to verify accuracy of the site description and conditions. 9. Further Review — This recommendation is limited to review of the east side yard setback reduction variance request. Detailed structural and critical areas review did not occur. The project will be subject to building, zoning, environmental, and other codes/regulations applicable to the proposal. V1. CONCLUSIONS The following conclusions are drawn from the previous findings of fact. The applicant is subject to variance decisional criteria set forth in FWRC 19.45.030 and Process IV decisional criteria set forth in FWRC 19.70.150(3). The applicant's responses to decisional criteria are attached in Exhibit G. Staff responses to decisional criteria are italicized. Variance Decisional Criteria 1. That the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located. A reduction of the eastern side yard setback is not a grant of special privilege that is inconsistent with the limitations upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone. The proposed use is an outright permitted use in the CE zone. Other sites in the vicinity would be allowed to develop as a car wash or similar facilities. The applicant has demonstrated that due to lot dimension the car wash cannot function correctly without the setback reduction. Therefore, staff concludes the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege. 2. That the variance is necessary because of special circumstances relating to the size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings of the subject property to provide it with use rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located. The subject property's east to west dimension is narrow, 100 feet wide, and the total square footage of the site is less than surrounding parcels in the vicinity. The other uses in the I Washington Administrative Code 197-11-800(6)(b) Steve's Car Wash Variance Request 13-101628/Doe.I,D, 63777 Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 3 vicinity (across South 348'h Street) are offices located in Office Park (OP) zoning and are also larger in size. It is difficult to design a functioning car wash facility that meets the required 15 foot setback. There is insufficient width for the car wash building stacking lane, vacuum stalls, and ingress/egress on such a narrow site. Cars would potentially back into the drive aisles or into the stacking lanes causing possible accidents and restricted circulation that would inhibit the proper operation of the facility. An additional 10 feet to the east gives the necessary space for safe backing movements and ingress/egress space for optimal movement and flow on -site. There are other constraints on the site such as a wetland buffer (Exhibit L9 and a IQ foot dedication of right-of-way along the South 348`" Street frontage for future road widening. These constraints contribute to a lesser degree to the applicant's inability to develop the property. Therefore, staff concludes the variance is necessary due to special circumstances relating to the size and topography of the property. 3. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located. Granting the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located. At the time of this staff report, the city has not received any public comments regarding the variance request. The adjacent property to the east (the location of the variance request) is an 8.54-acre King County Metro Park & Ride. The Park & Ride has a 10-12 foot tall retaining wall and large evergreen trees buffering the car wash facility. The impact to the neighboring property is mitigated with the existing improvements and vegetation. The property to the south and west are both vacant forested lands heavily impacted by wetlands and wetland buffers; no impact is anticipated. Therefore, staff concludes that granting of the requested variance will not be materially detrimental to the public we fare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone. 4. That the special circumstances of the subject property are not the result of the actions of the owner of the subject property. The special circumstances related to the subject property are pre-existing conditions; the owner had no part in creating these conditions. Therefore, staff concludes that the special circumstances of the subject property were not the result of action of the owner. Process IV Decisional Criteria 1. It is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) contains goals and policies to help guide growth and development of the City. The FWCP provides general policy framework as a basis for implementing development regulations and other city programs. The subject lot is designated as Commercial Enterprise by the FWCP, and zoned CE — Commercial Enterprise. Applicable policies in the FWCP Land Use and Economic Development Chapter are as follows: Steve's Car Wash Variance Request 13-101628/Doc, CD. 63777 Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 4 L UP35 Allow a broad range of commercial, retail, office, industrial, and supportive uses to meet the needs of workers and consumers, in well integrated, well functioning, high quality developments. LUP36 Require development to be compatible and well integrated into its surroundings and adjacent zones through site and building design and development standards that reduce or eliminate land use conflicts, nuisance impacts, or critical areas impacts; ensure project aesthetics; promote sharing of public facilities and services; and improve vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow and safety, including access control and off-street interconnectivity between adjoining properties where feasible. EDPIO The City will work with the private sector to actively encourage the retention and expansion of existing businesses, as well as bring in new development, businesses, and jobs to the community. 2. It is consistent with all applicable provisions of this title and all other applicable laws. Upon review of the variance proposal, city departments and agencies with jurisdiction offered no objections to the proposed variance in relation to the decisional criteria. If the variance is approved, improvements on the subject property must comply with all other development standards and code requirements. 3. It is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare. Upon review of the variance proposal, city departments and agencies with jurisdiction offered no objections to the proposed variance in relation to public health, safety, and welfare. If the variance is approved, improvements on the subject property must comply with all other development standards and code requirements. Surface water runoff from lot coverage impacts will be mitigated via compliance with the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and city addendum, and/or those surface water design standards that are in effect at the time of the building application. The proposed variance will eliminate an unsafe vehicle backing situation and relieve restricted circulation on site. 4. The streets and utilities in the area of the subject property are adequate to serve the anticipated demand from the proposal. As part of the land use application, a concurrency analysis will be required. At that time an analysis will be done to determine if streets in the area are adequate to serve the anticipated demand from the proposal. It is anticipated that streets in the area are adequate. 5. The proposed access to the subject property is at the optimal location and configuration for access. Access to the lot is from South 348�" Street. The location of the access point along the lot frontage is the optimal location and configuration. One of the reasons to allow the Variance is to provide far proper vehicle access and vehicle queuing to avoid any potential back up onto South 34e Sheet. As part of the land use decision, a thorough analysis of the site design and access will be done by the city Traffic Division. Steve's Car Wash Variance Request 13-101628/Dm I D. 63777 Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 5 6. Traffic safety impacts for all modes of transportation, both on and off site, are adequately mitigated. If the variance is granted, the applicant will be required to adequately mitigate any traffic safety inadequacies applicable to the site redevelopment. Such review would be a component of the land use application and must comply with all other development standards and code requirements. No mitigation is required as a result ofgranting the variance. VII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The City has reviewed the variance application, pertinent decisional criteria, and the special circumstances surrounding the property at the time of development. The City recommends that the variance request to reduce the required 15-foot side yard setback to 5 feet be granted.

Please send me a list of comments that you received concerning our request so that we are aware of the concerns of the public and we can have an opportunity to consider and address them to expedite the proposal. Please let me know if there is anything that we can do to expedite the approval so that we can move to the design phase. Steve is having to make payments on the property monthly and the sooner that we can complete the project the better. Thanks Again for Your Assistance, Brant A. Schweikl, P.E.

Schweikl <bschweikl@sacivil.net> Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2013 11:12 AM To: Rebecca Chapin Cc: Isaac Conlen; Steve Davis Subject: Steve Davis Car Wash Variance Importance: High Becky, When I was in to re -submit the variance you indicated that someone had dropped off a queuing analysis for another car wash that indicated a 7 car queue. As you know our supplier/manufacturer of the care wash unit has recommend a 10 car stacking for the facility. And as the site plan that "both" the our ten and the other seven car stacking would extend along the proposed vacuum stall parking area and without the variance reduce the drive/emergency access aisle to a little over 13 feet. This would be substandard and not meet the 20' emergency vehicle access width requirement. With our stacking of ten cars all 6 vacuum stalls are impacted and if you assume 7 car stacking, 4 of the 6 stalls are impacted. Either way there is an impact to the safe operation of the facility. With the above facts it can be determine that there will be an impact to the emergency vehicle access in either case, therefore is would seem logical that further analysis of a stacking would not add any pertinent additional information to the ultimate decision making process and that the emergency access is therefore constricted and that the granting of the requested variance provides a solution to the emergency access. Would it be possible to obtain a copy of the queuing analysis for the other car wash so that we can review the basis of the analysis? Respectfully, Brant A Schweikl Brant A. Schweild, P.E. Managing Member Schweikl and Associates, PLLC 1945 S. 375th Street Federal Way, IWA 98003 PH: (253) 226-4508 bschweilcl@SAcivil.net couN rINGCc7rs.com The data for Kansas banks was collected between 4:30pm and 6:OOpm. While many of the maximum queues for the data collected in Minnesota were between these times, maximum queues occurred between 8:30am and 5:30pm so it is possible that some of the Kansas data does not capture the actual maximum queues for the day. The number of available lanes at banks, not including the ATM lane, ranged from two to seven lanes (though the most open at one time was five lanes). Even though plenty of lanes were available, cars often stacked at the lane closest to the building, thus additional lanes may not result in shorter queues. With an 85th percentile maximum queue of eight vehicles, the data suggests that banks with drive -through lanes should be able to accommodate 160 feet of vehicle stacking. 3.2 Car Washes Data collection was done at six car washes with drive -through services (including one full - service car wash) in February 2012. Twelve days of data were collected. The car washes were located in the cities of Falcon Heights, Hopkins, Minneapolis, Roseville and St. Louis Park, MN. Five of the six car washes (excluding the full -service car wash) were located at gas stations. Only the vehicles waiting in line were counted; vehicles being washed were not added to the queue.

The full - service car wash had two lanes and also produced the highest maximum queue of 10 vehicles. The maximum queues for car washes were spread throughout the afternoon from 12:30pm to 8:30pm. With an 85th percentile maximum queue of more than six vehicles, the data suggests that car washes with drive -through lanes should be able to accommodate 140 feet of vehicle stacking throughout the day. 3.3 Coffee Shops Data collection was done at six coffee shops with drive -through services in November 2010, August 2011 and February 2012. Fourteen days of data were collected. The coffee shops were located in the cities of Edina, Hopkins, Minneapolis, Roseville and St. Louis Park, MN. Vehicles being served were counted as being in the queue. Twelve days of data from the Kansas City, Kansas area is also included.

The existing building setback requirements for the CE zone require a 15-foot building setback along the eastern property boundary as shown on Drawing PD-l_ With the existing CE Zone setback there is insufficient width (13-fed) to efficiently and safely establish minimum parking aisle and backing width adjacent to the six (6) vacuum. stall and the ingress aisle for the car wash. The lack of minimum aisle width would head the project's overall safety due to the deficient design causing patemial amidents and restricted circulation that would inhibit the proper operation of the facility- This vAxdd also affect the ability for recyclingtrefuse vehicles to efficiently ingrea-&egmz the proposed dumpster area at the rear of the car wash facility. The supplier of the carwash equipment, D-S Car Wwk Inc., has supplied an At>USt 5, 2013 letter (enclosed) confirming that they strongly revomrxod a 10 car cir* for adequate operation of the carwash. The letter also stases that the City of Seattle CO& requires a 10 car cueing for a carwash facility in the City of Scams. The su*S-cr z6o la� site plans that incorporate two access pay siationsigwuing lanes, but due to the Easz-Rosa dimension of the parcel two lanes are not feasible, therefore we ant limited to tiers kss owner desirable one lane ten car stacking option- The Client 1as, %isizod the ieu cz•w-h facilities in the demographic area and seen heavy caner traffxustacking_ cwecial:► during the weekends that have caused heavy congest:km and access difficmitbes b these facilities and the surrounding public right-of--a-ay (ROW). The Client wish to dnekp a facility that affords the best possible site configuration that allowx for mIXU =cast of access and circulation for the customer and the public on both doe site and the pees ROW in an effort to promote a profitable business and public satez-%-. Our proposed variance is to reduce the required building setback alaeg the property boundary to 5-feet from 15-feet to provide a safe minimum aisk and bads width to allow for overall proper safe vehicle site cimuLntiom seas Dra%%ing V-1_ The overall premise of our proposal has no apparent afferxs to artY adjaoml PrOPcrtics and allows for a safe efficient onsite design_ The existing improv enwmts of the King CQMC! Metro Park and Ride Facility just east of our project sine indudes 10'-12' tail s=MM-d concrete retaining wall approximately 12..85' off dw parcel boundar• and has ^au_= evergreen trees at the base and above the wall dud screen the park- and ride fa.-iln% the surrounding parcels. There is no intended pedestrian or %chicle actras dmgriCad trzo the 12.85' landscaped area at the base of the wall and there are no existing in� egress easements upon the Davis Parcel for Metro Transit to access the arm bcta% the wall - Therefore there would be no visual or interactive conflicts with the c%cndA! operation of the King County Park and Ride facility or the patrm s. The existing mature evergreen trees screening the vest side of tic Paris aid rxk facila` are match taller than the total proposed height of the can%ems facility (17�"l affim (24'), neither of which will be visible from the pavement level of the pwk and ride_ Variance Criteria Discussion A. The proposed reduction in the building setback from 15' to 5' along the eastern property boundary does not constitute a granting of a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon surrounding properties. The approval of our proposed variance would be geometrically and topographically unique due to the height of the existing wall and mature screening evergreen trees at both the top and bottom of the waH and the lack of active design use of the any of the property below the wall. Secondarily the unique defined use of the adjacent parcel as a Metro park and ride facility with only distant seldom used parking stalls directly adjacent to the common propert►• line sm this situation aside from all other potential variance requests that may be regtxst+ed :by an), surrounding properties in the future. The western boundary of the parcel is a community - park facility owned by the City of Federal Way that incorporate the West H%leloos Wetland Complex that will be preserved for eternity_ We are confident that there are no other parcels of this size mithin the CE zow thal ha%c the same surrounding uses located within the City- of Federal Way- B. The variance is necessary due to the special uric axtramfs of bo6 time parcel dimensions, small square footage parcel sine and encroachment of the 200 6DM wetland buffer from the West Hylebos Wetlands Park adjacent to the south mi-i ven sack of the parcel that requires the dedication of 958 sf, 3.99% of the parcel after the Prior Ck% required dedication of a 10-foot width of the proper frontage -►"w the S- Ue Street ROW for future road widening.

Therefore it can be said that the initial desipekof a svwk� r parcel like ours as Commercial Enterprise, (CE), by the City of Federal 'AA. h3s jr� do p some possibly unforeseen unique challenges in the developawnt of the rvd szsth *C current setback requirements of the CE zone. The Client has been associated with this parcel as a parer or as indi.idul o%= hx over six years. At this point there have been many diffe=t con` pftml tam i7negigMIJ for the parcel and the Client has determined that the use dvK he � 3 �ID�L4E—vim � n Ott ,3+.� feasible over the long term is to develop the parcel as a camrash facility- With the expanding population growth of the demographic area there appears to be less competition with proposed use of the parcel as a carwash and therefore an increasing demand for services since there are only a few sole single -use carwash facilities in operation within the demographic area The original proposal prior to the recent recession, while under a partnership, was to develop the parcel as commercial office space. This proposal ran into several zoning and wetland buffer setback requirements that made this proposal both financially and functionally unviable due to the lack of leasable space and a deficiency in available parking associated with the remaining usable parcel after wetland buffer dedication -- Currently the recession continues and there is a glut of available commercial office space available all over the region. The possibility of proposing a coffee shop was also investigated by the Chart and it was determined that the demographics of such a facility v+ootM have gebsmntiai ova4etition from the many surrounding stores and the lack of store frontage ►-isibilitr, as the site ails sit considerably below the elevation of the curb line of S. 348a Street TIx Clim-s we* of experience and expertise also does not lie in the operation of a commercW' coffee facility and Client only wishes to manage a minimal staff sum as the c wwash fa<i$it• require. The coffee shop option was deemed fraanciail► risky- Juaing the vvoz recession and above the level of managerial commitments that the Cl %%T-4ws to undertake during this volatile fragile economic period - Therefore, by maintaining a 5-foot landscape strip along the eastern pmcd bouDdar) dot Owner would be able to obtain reasonable allowable use of the prupeM. by iWs#lim- the outright permitted car wash facility with property designed safe emergency vehicular circulation as required by the City of Federal il,* Code- C. The granting of this variance will not be materially dcUiMental n the pubil-Ic welfare or injurious to the property or improve rnems in the vicinity and zone prra ant- due to the location of the parcel being at the outsidrts of the zone, awmunded by the pwi property on two sides. The property is almady heavily screened by tine evergreen trees at the base and above the retain -mg WA on the %two pars. ad rok facility. The variance will allow for proper 20 foot wide enxTgertc) ► rhkk WOM wi h a 10 car queue awaiting a carwasb and all of the vacuum stalls in Werafim and sum" rim cause any potential back up onto S. 34e Street that would be &M menW to the public. Therefore, we believe that both the Public and the 0%ner v►ill both be bmefited by dw granting of the variance and that there will be no negati■vs that will arise from the rc- development of the property. Demolition of the okkx existing rCSidcntW � %ill in itself improve the view corridors and property Values of the zinc PLUM aMd the construction of the proposed car wash facility will create a more valuabk sarrDe of commercial property tax for the public coffers_ D. As previously stated in the above arguments the special circumstances of the subject property are not a result of actions taken by the Owner_ The special circumstances surrounding this variance request are the smaller size and existing geometric dimensions of the parcel, the encroachment of an existing «ztlan3 buffer at the southwest corner of the parcel and the subsequent loss of area and required dedication of the buffer and a City mandated 10-foot frontage dedication of future right-of-way (ROW) adjacent to the S. 348th Street ROW. Without the variance and with consideration of the manufacturer's recommended vehicle stacking of 10 vehicles for proper operation of the facility, the recommended staking would be in conflict with the available ingress/egress/backing width requirements to obtain required emergency vehicle access all along the length of the Iength of the vacuum stalls at the west side of the car wash facility. Therefore, the standard packaged car wash facility creates a spacial circunIst'e that that requires a variance to provide properly designed safe cornmerc-iaFemergmcy vehicular circulation as required by the City of Federal Way Code to allow the outright permitted use available to the Owner. We hope that the Director of Community and Economic De%eloprnemI Deparmww and the Hearing Examiner will undertake a deep consideration of our proposed %wiub►-e and grant approval of the variance to allow beneficial re_dcz-elopmerg projcrt lo wo e forward.

The overall proposed project consists of one existing parcel, (Parcel No. 02021049087) which total approximately 0.574 acres (25,000 sf before dedication) in size. The property is owned by Mr. Steve Davis who is parking vehicles in the rear of the property. The existing residential structures were recently damaged by an electrical fire and they are in the process of being demolished by the Owner. The proposed re -development of the parcel is for the installation of an 1820 sf automated recycling car wash structure, an attached 247 sf two (2) story office, six (6) vacuum parking stations, a total of 13 parking stalls, new sanitary sewer service, underground surface water detention vault, a Filterra water quality treatment unit and associated asphalt pavement for circulation, see Drawings A-1.0 &A-2.0. The current zoning classification for the site is CE — Commercial Enterprise according to the GIS Zoning Map and the proposed uses are permitted out right in the CE zone. VARIANCE DESCRIPTION Due to the geometric configuration of the of the existing parcel and the dimensions of the proposed automated car wash facility with it's entrance and exit requirements for turning movements associated with vehicular circulation the current longitudinal north -south orientation of the structure is the only option available. This addresses the north -south portion of the siting of the structures, now we must look at the east -west orientation of the car wash structure. 09156-Variance.doc The existing building setback requirements for the CE zone require a 15-foot building setback along the eastern property boundary as shown on Drawing PD-1. With the existing CE Zone setback there is insufficient width (13-feet) to efficiently and safely establish minimum parking aisle and backing width adjacent to the six (6) vacuum stall and the ingress aisle for the car wash. The lack of minimum aisle width would lead the project's overall safety due to the deficient design causing potential accidents and restricted circulation that would inhibit the proper operation of the facility. This would also affect the ability for recycling/refuse vehicles to efficiently ingress/egress the proposed dumpster area at the rear of the car wash facility. Our proposed variance is to reduce the required building setback along the eastern property boundary to 5-feet from 15-feet to provide a safe minimum aisle and backing width to allow for overall proper safe vehicle site circulation, see Drawing V-1. The overall premise of our proposal has no apparent affects to any adjacent properties and allows for a safe efficient onsite design. The existing improvements of the King County Metro Park and Ride Facility just east of our project site includes 10'-12' tall screened concrete retaining wall approximately 12.85' off the parcel boundary and has mature evergreen trees at the base and above the wall that screen the park and ride facility from the surrounding parcels. There is no intended pedestrian or vehicle access designed into the 12.85' landscaped area at the base of the wall and there are no existing ingress/egress easements upon the Davis Parcel for Metro Transit to access the area below the wall. Therefore there would be no visual or interactive conflicts with the normal everyday operation of the King County Park and Ride facility or the patrons. The existing mature evergreen trees screening the west side of the park and ride facility are much taller than the total proposed height of the carwash facility (17.5') and office (24'), neither of which will be visible from the pavement level of the park and ride. Variance Criteria Discussion A. The proposed reduction in the building setback from 15' to 5' along the eastern property boundary does not constitute a granting of a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon surrounding properties. The approval of our proposed variance is geometrically and topographically unique due to the height of the existing wall and mature screening evergreen trees at both the top and bottom of the wall and the lack of active design use of the any of the property below the wall. Secondarily the unique defined use of the adjacent parcel as a Metro park and ride facility with only distant seldom used parking stalls directly adjacent to the common property line sets this situation aside from all other potential variance requests that may be requested by any surrounding properties in the future 09156-Variance.doc B. The variance is necessary due to the special geometric constraints of both the parcel dimensions, small square footage parcel size and encroachment of the 200 foot wetland buffer from the West Hyelbos Wetlands Park adjacent to the south and west side of the parcel that requires the dedication of 958 sf, 3.99% of the parcel after the prior City required dedication of a 10-foot width of the property frontage adjacent to the S. 348th Street ROW for future road widening. Without the variance the Property Owner would not be able to effectively utilize the property as a car wash facility as an outright permitted use within the CE Zone due to the lack of an adequate (minimum) parking aisle width, safe backing area for the six (6) vacuum stalls adjacent to the west side of the car wash structure and proper vehicular two-way circulation for safe ingress and egress to and from the facility. Therefore by maintaining a 5-foot landscape strip along the eastern parcel boundary the Owner would be able to obtain reasonable use of the property by installing the outright permitted car wash facility with properly designed safe commercial vehicular circulation as required by the City of Federal Way Code. C. The granting of this variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone primarily due to the location of the parcel being at the outskirts of the zone, surrounded by the park property on two sides. The property is already heavily screened by the existing mature evergreen trees at the base and above the retaining wall on the Metro park and ride facility. We believe that both the Public and the Owner will both be benefited by the granting of the variance and that there will be no negatives that will arise from the re- development of the property. Demolition of the older existing residential structures will in itself improve the view corridors and property values of the surrounding properties and the construction of the proposed car wash facility will create a more valuable source of commercial property tax for the public coffers. D. As previously stated in the above arguments the special circumstances of the subject property are a result of actions taken by the Owner. The special circumstances surrounding this variance request are the existing geometric dimensions of the parcel, the encroachment of an existing wetland buffer at the southwest corner of the parcel and the subsequent loss of area and required dedication of the buffer and a City mandated 10-foot frontage dedication of future right-of-way (ROW) adjacent to the S. 348" Street ROW. Also the required width of the standard packaged car wash facility creates a special circumstance that that requires a variance to provide properly designed safe commercial vehicular circulation as required by the City of Federal Way Code to allow the outright permitted use available to the Owner. 09156-Variance.doc We hope that the Director of Community and Economic Development Department and the Hearing Examiner will undertake a deep consideration of our proposed variance and grant approval of the variance to allow beneficial re -development project to move forward.
