These issues can change due to modifications and revisions in the plans. The major issues section is only provided as a means to highlight critical requirements or issues. Please be sure to read the comments made by all departments in the following section of this letter. Planning Division • The project requires annexation into the City of Federal Way. • The project requires a Process III land use application with SEPA. • There are numerous regulations related to setbacks and site development contained within the use zone chart for FWRC 19.220.030, Outdoors, Yards and Landscaping, FWRC Chapter 19.125, and Community Design Guidelines FWRC Chapter 19.115. • The proposal describes wetlands and steep slopes on the property. FWRC Chapter 19.145 regulates critical areas. FWRC Sections 19.145.410-440 discuss wetlands, and Section 19.145.440(5) addresses wetland buffer averaging. Per code, the buffer at its narrowest point cannot be reduced to less than 75 percent of the required width, and is decided upon using Use Process III, which would be reviewed concurrently with the already required Use Process III land use application. Sections 19.145.220-250 discuss geologically hazardous areas. A separate Use Process is not required for erosion hazard area impacts, however see FWRC 19.145.240(1)-(3). Current critical area reports prepared by qualified professionals in accordance with city code are required for any wetland, wetland buffer, or geologically hazardous area impacts. • The submittal asks about combining the seven lots into two. A Boundary Line Adjustment (BLA) is required to revise property boundaries. A BLA must meet all applicable City requirements. See FWRC Chapter 18.10 and the enclosed handout for this information. This process can occur any time prior to issuance of building permits. Public Works - Development Services Division • The project must comply with the 2016 King County Surface Dater Design Manual and the City of Federal Way addendum to that manual. Conservation Flow Control and Enhanced Basic water quality requirements will apply. In addition, Best Management Practices and Oil Control will be required. Public Works - Traffic Division • Transportation Concurrency Management (FWRC 19.90) — Transportation concurrency permit with an estimated application fee of $9,032.00 is required for the proposed project. • Traffic Impact Fees (FWRC 19.91) - Traffic impact fees are required and will be assessed and paid prior to building permit issuance. • Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) — A specialized land use trip generation study prepared by a licensed engineer in Washington is required to determine the number of trips generated by the development and to assess other significant project impacts and determine traffic and safety mitigation measures not identified in the concurrency analysis. • Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135.040) — Construct improvements and dedicate right-of-way along the property frontage on S. 320th Street and 32^d Avenue S. to adopted roadway section. In addition, the existing traffic signal at S. 320th Street and 32�d Avenue S. would need to be modified as part of the street improvements. 19-104441-00-PC Pape Kenworth Page 2 of 18 Doc ID 79630 ■ Access Management (FWRC 19.135.260) — The development shall meet access management standards. Lakehaven Water & Sewer • Certificates of Availability for water and sewer are issued by Lakehaven. Certificates are valid for one (1) year from date of issuance. • Hydraulic model results (FF #94) indicate that Lakehaven's standard maximum allowable system liquid velocity of 10 ft/s, at no less than 20 psi, is exceeded in the existing proximate water system at a fire flow rate above 5,400 GPM. This flow figure depicts the calculated performance of the existing water distribution system under high demand conditions. Fire flow rates greater than available in the existing distribution system may be accommodated through water distribution system improvements. On -site hydraulic system calculations may need to be determined during design of the on -site water distribution system improvements. • A Lakehaven Developer Extension (DE) Agreement will be required to construct new (on -site fire hydrant) water distribution system facilities for the proposed development. • For water use during site construction/development, the existing water service(s) must be utilized for this purpose. ■ A Lakehaven DE Agreement will be required to construct new sanitary sewer system facilities necessary for the proposed development, including extend-to-far-edge(s) in accordance with long- standing Lakehaven policy. Lakehaven's current Wastewater System Comprehensive Plan indicates sewer trunk extension to the property from the east; however, Lakehaven would consider, and presuming downstream analysis supported, extending new sewer main from the south across S. 3201h Street. • Applicant will be required to complete and submit a Sewer Use Survey (SUS). Information in the SUS will be used by Lakehaven to determine specific pretreatment requirements (if any). South King Fire and Rescue ■ A Certificate of Water Availability including a bydrau& fxrr flo)P model shall be requested from the water district and provided at the time of building permit application. • This project will require at least one (1) fire hydrant in the approved location on the west side. • Additional requirements pertain to emergency access, lock box, sprinkler system, and fire alarm.

[Discussed at meeting: Additional gross floor area would trigger additional required parking spaces at the ratio noted in the parking section above.] (6) Improvements. If the outdoor use, activity, or storage is located on an unimproved area of the site, the underlying ground must be improved as required by the departments of public works and community development. (7) Modification. The applicant may request a modification of the requirements of subsection (3) of this section. 16. Lighting — FWRC 19.105.030 contains lighting regulations. The applicant shall select, place, and direct light sources both directable and nondirectable so that glare produced by any light source, to the maximum extent possible, does not extend to adjacent properties or to the right-of-way. A lighting plan will be required with the land use submittal. 17. Garbage and Recycling Receptacles — FWRC 19.125.150 requires that storage areas for garbage and recycling receptacles be required for each project. The formal application must note the specific size and location of each facility. Locations for the recycling and garbage facilities must be depicted on the formal site plan. Include the square footage of each facility provided, depict routes of travel for staff and service providers, including vertical clearance and turning radius of each. 18. CtificalAreas — The proposal describes wetlands and steep slopes on the property. The submittal discusses wetland buffer averaging and filling in the steep slope area and buffer. FWRC Chapter 19.145 regulates critical areas. FWRC Sections 19.145.410-440 discuss wetlands, and Section 19.145.440(5) addresses wetland buffer averaging in particular. Per code, the buffer at its narrowest point cannot be reduced to less than 75 percent of the required width, and is decided upon using Use Process III, which would be reviewed concurrently with the already required Use Process III land use application; additional fees are required. Sections 19.145.220-250 discuss geologically hazardous areas, and Section 19.145.240 addresses erosion hazard areas. A separate Use Process is not required for erosion hazard area impacts, however see FWRC 19.145.240(1)-(3). Current critical area reports prepared by qualified professionals are required for any wetland, wetland buffer, or geologically hazardous area impacts. These reports must evaluate the proposal and probable impacts to critical areas, in compliance with the FWRC critical areas regulations. The report may be peer reviewed at the applicant's cost per FWRC 19.145.080(3). The submittal asks for an explanation of any King County records from past history regarding wetlands, steep slopes, required buffers, and building setbacks. The City does not have these records, so the applicant would need to obtain them from King County, who can be reached at 206-296-6600. 19. Boundary Line Adjustment (BLA) — The submittal asks about combining the seven (7) lots into two (2). A Boundary Line Adjustment is required to revise and remove property lines.

PUBLIC WORKS TRAFFIC DIVISION Sarady Long, 253-835-2743, saraciy.longCu],cityoffederalway.com Transportation Concurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90) 1. Staff is unable to determine trip generation for the proposed development using the Institute of Transportation Engineers ITE's Trip Generation. Therefore, the applicant's traffic engineer needs to 19-104441-00-PC Pape Kenworth Page 10 of 18 Doc ID 79630 submit a trip generation study to determine the number of trips generated by the proposed development. At a minimum, the trip generation study shall include three (3) studies for similar land use and settings. The methodology for determining the trip generation shall be based upon the guidelines established in the most recent edition of the ITE Trip Generation Handbook. 2. A concurrency permit is required for this development project. The Public Works Traffic Division will perform concurrency analysis to determine if adequate roadway capacity exists during the weekday PM peak period to accommodate the proposed development. Please note that supplemental transportation analysis and concurrency mitigation may be required if the proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in the six -year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP). The estimated fee for the concurrency permit application is $4,938 for development generating 10 to 50 PM trips and $9,032 for development generating over 51 trips. The concurrency application fee must be paid in full at the time the concurrency permit application is submitted, which must occur along with the land use application. The fee may change based on the new weekday PM peak hour trips as identified in the 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 (TIF) (FWRC 19.91) 1. Traffic impact fees will be assessed and collected from the applicant when the building permit is issued, using the fee schedule then in effect. Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) (FWRC 19.135) 1. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared by an 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: ■ A specialized land use trip generation study for the mixed -use proposal; ■ Analysis of intersections impacted by 100 trips in the weekday morning and Saturday peak hours; and ■ Coordinate with WSDOT on channelization and other traffic related requirements. Street Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135) The applicant/owner would be expected to construct street improvements consistent with the planned roadway cross -sections as shown in Map III-4 in Chapter III of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) shown as Table III-10 (FWRC 19.135.040). Based on the materials submitted, staff conducted a limited analysis to determine the required street improvements. The applicant would be expected to construct improvements on the following streets to the City's planned roadway cross sections: 32°d Avenue S. is planned as a Type "K" street, consisting of a 44' street with curb and gutter, six-foot planter with street trees, eight -foot sidewalks, and street lights in a 78-foot right-of-way (ROW). Assuming a symmetrical cross section, the applicant would be expected to construct 3/4 street improvements for approximately 300' north from S. 320th Street and taper to a 28' wide paved street with curb and gutter, six-foot planter strips, and eight -foot sidewalk along the remainder of the property frontage. To accommodate the improvements, an additional 39' ROW dedication is required as measured from street centerline. Please note, the existing traffic signal will need to be modified to accommodate the required street improvement. 19-104441-00-PC Pape Kenworth Page I I of 18 Doc ID 79630 South 320,h Street is a Principal Arterial planned as a Type "A" street, consisting of a 90' street with curb and gutter, six-foot planter strips with street trees, eight -foot sidewalks, and street lights in a 124' ROW. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, half street improvements are required as measured from the street centerline along the entire property frontage. Please note, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) approval would be required for channelization impacting the State limited access. 2. 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 right-of-way modification requests are available through the Public Works Development Services Division. These modification requests have a nominal review fee currently of $334. 3. 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. 4. Per FWRC 19.135.280, there may be only one driveway for each 330 feet of lot frontage. This property does not have the adequate street frontage to allow five (5) driveways. Based on the available 870' lot frontage, the City will permit two (2) driveways. However, the City would be supportive of a third driveway to accommodate trucks exiting the service building. The City may further limit or prohibit access to or from driveways onto arterial streets as deemed appropriate for safety. 5. The southerly driveway on 32nd Avenue S. shall be located approximately 300 feet north of S. 3200, Street out of the turn pocket. 6. Truck traffic restriction north of the site to minimize impacts to residential development. The pavement on 32ad Avenue S. must be designed to accommodate the expected traffic load. PUBLIC WORKS — SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING DIVISION Rob Van Orsow, 253-835-2770, robyQcityoffederai►yay•com Review FWRC 19.125.150 for solid waste and recycling design requirements; also see the enclosed checklist.

LAKEHAVEN WATER AND SEWER DISTRICT Brian Asbury, 253-946-5407, BAsburyklakehaven.or WATER • A Water Certificate of Availability issued separately by Lakehaven may be required to be submitted with any land use and/or building pert -nit applications (check with land use agency for requirement). Certificate is valid for one (1) year from date of issuance. If Certificate is needed, allow 1-2 work days to issue for typical processing. The 2019 cost for a Water Certificate of Availability is $70.00. • Hydraulic model results (FF #94) indicate that Lakehaven's standard maximum allowable system liquid velocity of 10 ft/s, at no less than 20 psi, is exceeded in the existing proximate water system at a fire flow rate above 5,400 GPM. This flow figure depicts the calculated performance of the existing water distribution system under high demand conditions. Fire flow rates greater than available in the existing distribution system may be accommodated through water distribution system improvements. On -site hydraulic system calculations may need to be determined during design of the on -site water distribution system improvements. Please contact Lakehaven for further details. • A Lakehaven Developer Extension (DE) Agreement will be required to construct new (on -site fire hydrant) water distribution system 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 either a Developer Pre -Design Meeting or a DE Agreement. Lakehaven encourages owners/developers/applicants to apply for Lakehaven processes separately to Lakehaven, and sufficiently early in the pre-design/planning phase to avoid delays in overall project development. • 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 meter/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 (per building, typically, some exceptions allowed), irrigation (if irrigated landscaped areas are incorporated into the site development), and fire protection (if required or installed) water service connections & meters. • For water use during site construction/development, the existing water service(s) must be utilized for this purpose. Please contact Lakehaven for further details. 19-104441-00-PC Pape Kenworth Page 14 of 18 Doc ID 79630 • Protection of any existing water meters &/or service connections, or full abandonment by "removal" if future service(s) will not be needed, will be required for any on -site building demolition. Please contact Lakehaven for further information regarding this issue. • To satisfy premise isolation requirements, the installation & satisfactory testing of an approved backflow prevention assembly (BPA) adjacent to each service meter is required pursuant to Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 246-290-490 and Lakehaven standards regarding premise isolation. Because the potential cross - connection hazard(s) cannot be determined at this time, Lakehaven cannot specify the minimum required BPA device. Contact Lakehaven's Cross -Connection Control Program Manager (Chris Zoepfl, (Zoel2flO-akehaven.oig, 253-946-5427) for additional information on premise isolation/BPA installation & testing coordination. • Typically required location(s) for any BPA is outside of a building (fire -protection typically aboveground, RPBA/RPBA devices always aboveground), and as close to the main as possible, but no further than 50- feet from the main. There are some reasons/situations for some case -by -case exceptions that are allowed by Lakehaven, most of these in Federal Way's City Center area. Applicants may submit a modification request (include plan/sketch) to Lakehaven for non -typical location(s). Contact Lakehaven's Cross - Connection Control Program Manager (Chris Zoepfl, CZoe fl La1g-J v en.o , 253-946-5427) for additional information on premise isolation/BPA requirements, installation, and testing coordination. • The associated DE 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). • Based on the proposal submitted, preliminary estimated Lakehaven water service connection fees/charges/deposits (2019 schedule) will be as follows. Actual connection charges will be determined upon submittal of service connection application(s) to Lakehaven. Charges -Payable -in -Lieu -of -Extension (CPILOE) are assessable against the property for water facilities previously constructed that provide direct benefit to the property. If a DE Agreement is required, CPILOE charges are due prior to and as a condition of scheduling the Lakehaven DE preconstruction meeting. Connection charges are separate from any DE fees/charges/deposits and are due at the time of application for service. All Lakehaven fees, charges, and deposits are typically reviewed and adjusted (if necessary) annually, and are subject to change without notice. • Water Service/Meter Installation, Main Bldg., Domestic, 11/2" preliminary size: $732.70 drop -in meter fee. Actual size TBD by Lakehaven based on applicant's estimated maximum domestic/commercial GPM usage rate. • Water Service/Meter Installation, Body Shop Bldg., Domestic, 1" preliminary size: $1,500.00 meter upsize deposit (upsize an existing meter).
