Re: 00-104581-00-PC,Salter Short Plat Preapplication Conference
36526 3"'Avenue SW,Federal Way,WAF E
Dear Mr.DeWitt:
This letter follows up the September 28,2000,preapplication conference with the Federal Way
Development Review Committee for the purpose of preliminary review and discussion of your proposal
to divide one 82,829 square foot lot into four lots.A residence is located on the southwestern portion of
the site. Department and agency requirements are summarized below,or are enclosed with this letter.
Staff contact is listed with each summary.
LAND USE DIVISION—Deb Barker,253-661-4103
1. Short Plat Process—Pursuant to Federal Way City Code(FWCC)Division 5, "Short Subdivision
Plats,"short plat applications are administratively processed through the Department of Community
Development Services under FWCC Section 20-83 et al. The administrative review process requires
that the Director of Community Development Services issue a decision on the short subdivision
request. Public notice of the complete short plat proposal is required per FWCC Section 20-90, and a
14-day public comment period is provided.However,no public hearing will be required unless the
environmental decision is appealed. Short plat filing fees are$1,553.00, less the$310.00
preapplication fee. A master land use application,short plat handout,and code sections are enclosed.
2. State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)—Pursuant to FWCC Section 18-143(a)(3),the short plat
applications are exempt from environmental review under SEPA unless there are environmentally
sensitive areas on the subject site. The City's environmentally sensitive areas map shows that the site
is listed in an erosion hazard area,which meets the definition of a geologically hazardous area.
Pursuant to FWCC Section 18-141(a), geologically hazardous areas are designated as environmentally
sensitive areas. Therefore, pursuant to FWCC Section 18-143,the short plat is not exempt from
environmental review. A SEPA checklist must be submitted with the formal application. The SEPA
filing fee is$554.00.The Director of Community Development Services will issue a decision on the
environmental application. All property owners and residents within 300 feet of the subject site will be
notified of the environmental decision and provided a 14-day comment period followed by a 14-day
appeal period.An environmental checklist and handout on obtaining mailing labels are enclosed. The
comment and appeal periods must conclude before the short plat approval can be granted.
3. Lot Size—The zoning for the subject site is Residential Single Family(RS-15.0). Minimum lot size
for all lots is 15,000 square feet.Areas dedicated for public right-of-way may not be included in the
lot area calculations. As depicted,the proposed lots appear to satisfy the minimum lot size
requirements. Please list the size of the proposed lots on the face of the short plat,not the net lot size.

4. Setbacks—Existing and future residences must conform to the following structural setback
requirements of FWCC Section 22-631, "Detached Dwelling Units"(enclosed): 20 feet for the front
yard, five feet for the side yard,and five feet for the rear yard.The short plat must depict these
typical building setback requirements.Lot coverage for residential uses is limited to 50 percent and
includes all impervious surfaces such as driveways,walkways,patios, and roof overhangs.
5 Open Space—Short plats must comply with the applicable regulations set forth in the Subdivision
ae. O,'finance,FWCC Chapter 20(enclosed). Pursuant to FWCC Section 20-155, on-site open space in
saiamount of 15 percent of the gross land area of the short plat site must be established, or a
payment equal to 15 percent of the assessed land value be made. The applicant must set aside 15
percent of the site(approximately 12,424.35 square feet of the 82,829 square foot lot)or pay a fee-
in-lieu of an open space payment equal to 15 percent of the fair market value of the site. The Parks
Director must approve the land set aside for open space.
An 11,335 square foot Tract A is shown on the plat. This is 13.684 percent of the gross land area. If
this area is used for set aside, an additional fee-in-lieu in the amount of 1.31 percent of the assessed
land area must be provided before the short plat can be recorded.Also,provide unencumbered
access to tract A for lots 1 and 4. Typically, a minimum five-foot wide easement could provide
access. The following language should be included on the face of the plat for tract A:

Open Space shown on this short plat as Tract A is set aside and reserved for permanent
open space and recreational use for the benefit of the present and future owner(s)of
interest in lots 1, 2, 3, and 4. Ownership and maintenance of Tract A is to be shared
equally by the owners of lots 1,2,3,and 4. Except as shown on the plat, no building
shall be placed on Tract A and such Tract shall not be further subdivided or used for
financial gain.
6. Landscape Plan—A landscape plan prepared by a licensed landscape architect must be provided
with the short plat application. The plan must identify existing wooded areas, meadows, rock
outcroppings and other landscape features, and must show significant trees,open space,required
street trees,and other ornamental plantings required by code. Any trees and vegetation on the site

SUBJECT: SALTER SHORT PLAT-(00-104581-00-PC)
36526 3RD AVE SW
This memorandum!rovides review comments from the Traffic Division on the proposed Salter Short Plat
located at 36526 3 Avenue SW. After reviewing the submitted materials and a site visit,I have the
following comments.
Traffic Impacts Analysis(TIA)
The proposed project will not impact key intersections by 10 or more weekday PM peak hour trips. Since
this is the case,a traffic impact analysis(TIA)is not required for the development.
Right-of-Way Improvements
Per FWCC Sec. 22-1473,frontage improvements to current City standards cross section W will be required
along the property frontage on SW 3661 Street. The improvements include pavement widening to provide
28' from curb to curb,4'planter strips,5' sidewalks,street lighting at intersections and 3'utility strip all
within 52'of right-of-way.
In addition,since lot 1 has direct access onto the existing 30'wide access easement(3`d Ave SW),the
applicant shall improve the frontage of lot 1 approximately 132'to City standard. At a minimum,the
improvements shall include 20'of pavement,5' sidewalks and drainage along the east side of the property.
Please note,lot 2 shall not have access onto 3'l Ave SW. As such,appropriate wording shall be shown on the
face of the plat.
The existing easement(west 30' of the subject property)shall be set aside as a Tract"X"for future right-of-
way and street purposes. At such time the City determines,in its sole discretion,that Tract"X"is needed for
those purposes,a Statutory Warranty Deed conveying Tract X to the City of Federal Way shall be executed
by the Grantor,her successors,grantees,or assigns.
Access
Alternative access for lot 2 may be obtained from the easement on the west property line(3rd Ave SW).
However,the city would require street improvements to meet the city standard.
The proposed driveway on SW 366th Street shall be aligned with 3'd Place SW. This driveway shall be paved
to provide 20'of pavement width.
A sight distance analysis shall be verified to meet AASHTO at the proposed driveway on SW 366th Street.

SUBJECT: SALTER SHORT PLAT- (00-104581-00-PC)
36526 3RD AVE SW ; Public Works Comments
The Public Works Department has reviewed the proposal and visited the site, resulting in the following
comments:
1. Considering the maximum lot coverage of 50%and the required frontage improvements,this proposal
will create more than 10,000 square feet of impervious area. A Technical Information Report must be
submitted addressing all of the Core and Special Requirements outlined in the 1998 King County
Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the Federal Way Addendum to the KCSWDM.
2. Roof downspout controls must be determined at the platting stage. Infiltration is required unless
infiltration testing,as specified in the KCSWDM, proves that infiltration is infeasible. If roof runoff is
infiltrated or dispersed according to the requirements of Section 5 of the KCSWDM,the size of any
required flow control facility may be reduced according to the provisions outlined in Section 5.2.2.
Regulations in the KCSWDM regarding infiltration,dispersion and detention systems as they relate to
slopes and septic systems must be observed.
3. The project will be required to provide Level 1 flow control if new impervious areas that are not
infiltrated equal 5,000 square feet or more.
4. If 5,000 square feet or more of new pollution-generating impervious areas are created, Basic Water
Quality Treatment as outlined in the KCSWDM will be required.
1. The applicant will need to provide a geotech report that addresses design pavement
thicknesses for the roadways.
2. The applicant shall reimburse the City for the cost of all required regulatory, warning and
street name signs that are installed prior to acceptance by the City of all other require
improvements.
3. Copies of Public Works' standard checklists are available on request to assist the applicant's
engineer in preparing the plans and the TIR.
4. Bonding will be required for all improvements associated with the project. The bond amount
shall be 120% of the estimated cost of the improvements. Upon completion of the
installation and final approval by the Public Works inspector, the bond value will be reduced
to 30% of the original amount for the two year maintenance period. An administrative fee
deposit will need to accompany the bond to cover any possible legal fees in the event the
bond must be called.
5. The developer will be responsible for the maintenance of the storm drainage and street
systems for the two year maintenance period. During that time,the Public Works inspector
will make periodic visits to assure developer's compliance with maintenance requirements.
6. When topographic _ vey information is shown on submitteu vials,the vertical datum block
shall include the phrase "DATUM: N.G.V.D.-29" or "DATUM: K.C.A.S."on all sheets where
elevations are called out.
7. All drawings shall be drafted/plotted on 24" x 36" mylar sheets with permanent black ink.
Site plans shall be drawn at a scale of 1"=20' or larger. Drawings submitted for plan review
shall be printed on 24" x 36" paper.
8. Provide cut and fill quantities on the grading plan.
9. The site plan should show the location of any existing and proposed utilities in the areas
affected by construction.

Re: Salter Short Plat @ 36526-3rd Avenue Southwest, Federal Way, Washington
Ms./Mrs. Barker,
I write you today because neither my engineer, Michael DeWitt of Holmvig, DeWitt&
Associates, Inc. nor myself has not received comments from the City of Federal Way (City)
following our Master Land Use - Preapplication Conference on September 28, 2000. At the
beginning of the meeting and at its completion, you stated we would receive comments in a
week's time.
Mr. DeWitt left you a voice mail on October 12, 2000 (two weeks after the conference) and was
contacted by you on October 13, 2000. You stated to Mr. DeWitt all comments had been
received except those concerning right-of-ways/roads. After receiving no letter from the City,
Mr. DeWitt contacted you again today to discuss the review process. Mr. DeWitt informed me
you would be sending out a response letter tomorrow but, the road issue(s) would not be
addressed. Apparently, the roads planner is at a conference and therefor unable to submit
comments. Given your feedback, it appears we will not receive"final" comments from the City
until some time next week!
My concern on this issue stems from the fact we submitted our Master Land Use Application on
August 31, 2000 and had to wait until September 28, 2000 for a Preapplication Conference. Now
we have been informed we will not receive all comments on my short plat until the end of October
2000. Simply put, this process has taken 2 months. This is 3 weeks longer than promised. The
lack of a timely response by the City at this early stage concerns me greatly. The development
schedule for my site has been impacted and if this level of performance by the City continues, it
will adversely affect the viability of such a small project. Any assistance you can provide to
expedite matters would be appreciated. And, don't hesitate to call if you have questions.
Sincerely

RE: Salter Short Plat Preapplication
DATE: September 20, 2000
I have reviewed the preapplication drawings dated August 25,200 for subdivision of one
82,829square foot lot residential lot into four lots at 36526 3' Place SW. There is an existing
residence on the southwest portion of the property. There are the following easements on the
west side of the site: 30-foot easement within a 40-foot easement, resulting in 10,024 square
feet of easement. Lot size without easement is 72,805 square feet. Certain planning issues,
listed below, must be resolved with the short plat approval. The site zoning is RS 15.0 with
the minimum lot size 15,000 square feet.
ISSUES:
1. Building setbacks - Building setbacks are 20 feet from the front and five feet from the
side and rear property lines. Lot coverage is limited to 50% and includes all
impervious surfaces. Building setback lines for all four lots should be depicted on the
face of the short plat, and setbacks from the existing structure must be shown.
2. Open Space - The applicant must set aside 15% of the site (approximately 12,424.35
sq ft of the 82,829 square foot lot) or pay a fee in lieu of an Open Space payment equal
to 15% of the fair market value of the site. A 11,335 square foot tract A is shown on
the plat. This is 13.684% of the gross land area. If this area is used for set aside,
additional fee in lieu of in the amount of 1.31% of the assessed land area must be
ti'
provided before the short plat can be recorded. Provide unencumbered access to tract A
for lots 1 and 4. The following language should be included on the face of the plat for

no building shall be placed on Tract A and such Tract shall not be further
subdivided or used for financial gain.
3. Minimum lot size - Minimum lot size is 15,000 sq ft. I am unclear as to how the NET
lot size is created. Lots may not count easements as lot area. Easements must be set-
aside in separate tracts.
4. Landscape plan - The proposed short plat has numerous trees that meet the definition
of significant. A tree retention and landscape plan prepared by a licensed landscape
architect must be submitted with the short plat application.
SUBDIVISION CODE CONFORMANCE REVIEW
All lots resulting from the subdivision must conform to the design standards of this ordinance
(Section 20, FWCC).
Subdivision design, Sec. 20-151 - Existing street on SW 336th Avenue SW is partially paved,
with existing sidewalk on the south side. The 40 foot wide ingress/egress easement on the west
side must be improved to standards.
Lot design, Sec. 20-152 - All proposed lots front the public right-of-way, with lots 2 and 3
sharing a 30-foot wide stem to the street. Can this be set in separate easement?
Density, Sec. 20-153 - Minimum lot size is 15,000 sq ft. I am unclear as to how the "NET lot
size" is created. Lots may not count easements as lot area. Easements must be set-aside in
separate tracts.
Open space and recreation, Sec. 20-155 - The applicant must set aside 15% of the gross land
area of the site (approximately 12,424.35 sq ft of the 82,829 square foot lot) or pay a fee in
lieu of an Open Space payment equal to 15% of the assessed value of the land. A 11,335
square foot tract A is shown on the plat. Provide language for the tract. Provide unencumbered
access to tract A for lots 1 and 4. If this open space tract is used, applicant must demonstrate
that at least 10 percent of the tract is usable per FWCC section 20-155(c).
The following language should be included on the face of the plat for tract A:
