Sorry Chaney, almost lost track of this one. But (relatively) minor comments.
Lakehaven’s comments below, regarding the proposed restroom/storage building on parcel 2368000040.
Let me know if there’s any questions or if additional information is needed.
· All Lakehaven Development Engineering related application forms, and associated standards
information, can be accessed at Lakehaven’s Development Engineering web pages
(http://www.lakehaven.org/204/Development-Engineering).
· All comments herein are valid for one (1) year and are based on the proposal(s) submitted and
Lakehaven’s current regulations and policies. Any change to either the development proposal(s) or
Lakehaven’s regulations and policies may affect the above comments accordingly.
· A Water and/or Sewer Certificate of Availability 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). Certificates are valid for one (1) year from date of issuance. If Certificate(s) is needed,
allow 1-2 work days to issue for typical processing. 2021 cost for a Water or Sewer Certificate of
Availability is $40.00 (each).
· The site has two (2) existing water service connections:
o SvcNo 11445, Residential, 5/8”x3/4” meter.
o SvcNo 25607, Non-Residential, 1” meter.
· A water service connection application submitted separately to Lakehaven is required for each new service
connection to the water distribution system (e.g., irrigation, 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 &/or property has a sewer service connection), and fire protection
(if required or installed) water service connections & meters.
· To satisfy premise isolation requirements, the installation & satisfactory testing of an approved backflow
prevention assembly (BPA) adjacent to each non-residential domestic & irrigation service meter is
required pursuant to WAC 246-290-490 & Lakehaven standards regarding premise isolation. As low
health cross-connection hazards, 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, CZoepfl@Lakehaven.org, 253-946-5427) for additional information on premise
isolation/BPA installation & testing coordination.
· Based on the proposal submitted, preliminary estimated Lakehaven water service connection
fees/charges/deposits (2021 schedule) will be as follows. Actual connection charges will be determined
upon submittal of service connection application(s) to Lakehaven. All Lakehaven fees, charges and deposits
are typically reviewed & adjusted (if necessary) annually, and are subject to change without notice.
o Water Service/Meter Installation, New Non-Residential Domestic, 5/8”x3/4” preliminary size:
$5,130.00 deposit. Actual size TBD by Lakehaven based on applicant’s estimated maximum
domestic/commercial GPM usage rate.
o Water Service/Meter Installation, Convert Ex. 1” Non-Residential to Irrigation: $0.00.

o Capital Facilities Charge(s)-Water, 4,764.71 per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU): $3,240.00
(based on 2020 total water usage on property of 4.02 ERU). Actual amount due TBD by Lakehaven
based on applicant’s estimated annual total water usage rate. Water system capacity credits are
available for this property from system capacity charges previously assessed, paid directly to
Lakehaven, and/or credited to the property for 3.34 ERU. Please contact Lakehaven for further
detail.
o ROW Permit Fee (City of Federal Way): $1,160.00.
· A Sewer Certificate of Availability 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 1-2 work days to issue for
typical processing. 2021 cost for a Sewer Certificate of Availability is $40.00.
· Future and/or additional site development may require extension of sewer system facilities south in
Military Rd S, under a LWSD Developer Extension Agreement project.
· A separate Lakehaven Sewer Service Connection Permit is required for each new connection to the sanitary
sewer system, in accordance with standards defined in Lakehaven’s current ‘Fees and Charges
Resolution’. Minimum pipe slope for gravity sewer service connections is 2%. In addition to all other sewer
service installation standards, installation of a Type 1, 48” monitoring manhole is typically required on the
private building sewer line, for all new or modified non-residential connections.
· Based on the proposal submitted, preliminary estimated Lakehaven sewer service connection
fees/charges/deposits (2021 schedule) will be as follows. Actual connection charges will be determined
upon submittal of service connection application(s) to Lakehaven. All Lakehaven fees, charges and deposits
are typically reviewed & adjusted (if necessary) annually, and are subject to change without notice.
o Sewer Service Connection Permit: $377.13 fee (per building).
o Capital Facilities Charge(s)-Sewer: $4,614.93 per ERU. Actual amount due TBD by Lakehaven
based on applicant’s estimated annual domestic/commercial/industrial only water usage
rate. Please contact Lakehaven for further detail.
