RE: Preapplication Review, Weber Short Plat
PRE94-0054
Dear Phil:
Thank you for attending the pre-application meeting on September 22, regarding your
proposed three lot short plat at 3312 SW 340th Street in Federal Way.
The following is a summary of issues discussed at our meeting. For your convenience, I
have listed comments in the following categories: zoning, public works and water and
sewer. A copy of the meeting attendance list is attached for your reference.
Zoning:
The following issues relate to the Federal Way City Code (FWCC) and require resolution
with the preliminary plat application. Questions should be directed to me at 661-4110.
1. Application. A short plat application and State Environmental Review (SEPA) review
are required. SEPA is required because the lot was previously platted. Attached is a
Master Land Use application, short plat submittal requirements, SEPA checklist and
procedure for obtaining mailing labels. The combined short plat and SEPA review
filing fee is $1,805, payable at time of filing.
2. Lot area and coverage. The lot is zoned RS 7.2. Minimum lot size is 7,200 square
feet. Vehicle access easements may be included in lot area calculations. However,
right-of-way dedications cannot. Lot coverage is limited to 60% and includes all
impervious surfaces.
3. Building setback. Two structures are located on the existing lot. All existing and
proposed structures must meet minimum building setback requirements. They are: 20
feet from the front, five feet from the side and five feet from rear property lines.
These distances are calculated from the wall of the structure to proposed property
lines.

4. Significant trees. A significant tree inventory and tree retention plan must be
prepared by a landscape architect licensed in Washington for submittal with the short
plat application. This plan will be used to determine whether or not replacement trees
are required. Replacement trees will be required if more than 75% of the significant
trees will be removed as part of the short plat application. For reference, significant
trees are greater than 12 inch diameter measured 4.5 feet above the ground that are in
good health and are not detrimental to the community. Red alder, cottonwood, poplar
and big leaf maple are not significant regardless of their size. Replacement trees are
either 12 foot tall evergreen or 3 1/2 inch diameter deciduous.
5. Open space. FWCC requires you either set aside 15% of the site, after any required
right-of-way dedications are subtracted out, or make a payment equal to 15% of the
fair market value of the site to mitigate city open space impacts. Payment, if
proposed, must be accompanied by a current appraisal statement prepared by a state
certified appraiser, or another source acceptable to the city, to establish the fair
market value of the property.
6. Access Easement. Please consider narrowing the easement on the extreme east and
west lots from 20 to 12 feet wide and decreasing the length of the hammer head to 18
feet long. Also consider moving the center driveway inline with the main entrance.
This will reduce the impervious surface ratio for each lot and provide a eight foot
wide landscape buffer between the homes and street. Please consider installing a
three or four foot tall landscape berm and landscaping in this area.
7. A reciprocal access easement, which includes use and maintenance provisions, must
be provided prior to short plat approval.
8. Water and Sewer Availability. Water is provided by the City to Tacoma. Sewer is
provided by Federal Way Sewer and Water. Letters of water and sewer availability
must be provided with the short plat application.
9. Utilities. All new utilities must be provided underground.
Public Works:
The following requirements were provided by the City's Public Works Department.
Questions should be directed to Julie Venn, Engineering Plans Reviewer at 661-4125.
SW 340th St is an inadequately improved roadway with 18 feet of pavement, curb, gutter, and
sidewalk on the north side of the centerline of the road and classified a principal arterial.
Right-of-way consists of 42 feet south and 30 feet north of the sectional line. When proceeding
east from the site, the roadway turns into SW 336th St., a commercial area near 21st Ave. SW.
A piped storm drainage system exists in SW 340th Street. The site is flat with very little
potential for erosion. The site is vegetated with lawn and common shrubbery.

The following are comments from the Public Works Department:
1. The south 12 feet of the entire parcel shall be dedicated to the city for public right-of-
way.
2. SW 340th St. requires the widening on the north side, with new curb, gutter and
sidewalk in conformance with the city's standards. In lieu of constructing the
improvements, the applicant may enter into a No-Protest agreement with the City for the
formation of a Local Improvement District (LID). This street appears on the City's
Transportation Improvement Program project #20.
3. All lots shall be accessed through the proposed access easement. This easement shall be
30 feet in width, improved to city standards with 20-foot paved surface with curb and
gutter. If the existing curb cut in SW 340th Street is not utilized, this curb cut and
associated sidewalk on SW 340th St shall be removed and replaced with full curb and
gutter and new sidewalk.
4. The short plat document shall provide a statement pertaining to the maintenance
responsibilities for the access easement.
5. A typical infiltration system shall be designed for the individual lots based on soil logs
of the site. These infiltration systems shall be designed to handle runoff from 3000
square feet of roof and other impervious surfaces on each lot. The access road system
shall have an independent infiltration system. Design of the systems shall follow the
King County Surface Water Design Manual standards.
6. If the use of infiltration systems is not possible due to poor soil conditions, a storm
•
drainage detention system will be required with controlled discharge into the existing
system in SW 340th St.
7. Oil/water separation shall be required for that portion of the runoff originating from the
driveways.
8. Letters of water and sewer availability shall be submitted to the city.
The current submittal shows a driveway system that would front the future buildings on the lots.
The access portion which is shared by all parties will need to be a minimum 20 feet in width for
two directional traffic. When this access roadway enters onto the other two lots to either side,
these roadways may be reduced to minimum 12-foot driveways. It is recommended that the
driveways be setback from the future property line and a landscape buffer be provided between
the road and these driveways.
Submittal contents for the short plat should conform to the checklist provided with these
comments.

Water and Sewer:
Federal Way Water and Sewer provided the enclosed memo for your information. Questions
should be directed to Rick Gilmore, Supervisor of Technical Services at 941-2288.
King County Fire and the city's building division have no comment on the proposal.
Summary:
Please be advised that this information is provided in response to the information which you
presented for the meeting. As the project is redesigned or as more detailed information is
prepared, there may be additional issues or concerns arise which were not covered at this
meeting.
I hope this information is helpful in the design of the project. A copy of the attendance roster
is enclosed for your records. Feel free to call me at 661-4110 at any time with questions
regarding the proposal.

TO: Fernando L. Fernandez
FROM: Julie Venn For Your Information
Date: September 28, 1994
SUBJECT: Project File No.: PRE94-0054, Weber Short Plat
After reviewing the materials submitted and a visit to the proposed site the following comments
and findings address issues that need to be resolved prior to acceptance of the short plat. I have
reviewed the submitted documentation on the above referenced proposal.
The site is currently occupied by a single family residence with a garage and shed to the east
of the house. Access is by a driveway off of SW 340th St. The site includes approximately 8
mature evergreen trees to the west of the house.
SW 340th St is an inadequately improved roadway with 18 feet of pavement, curb, gutter, and
sidewalk on the north side of the centerline of the road and classified a principal arterial.
Right-of-way consists of 42 feet south and 30 feet north of the sectional line. When proceeding
east from the site, the roadway turns into SW 336th St., a commercial area near 21st Ave. SW.
A piped storm drainage system exists in SW 340th Street. The site is flat with very little
potential for erosion. The site is vegetated with lawn and common shrubbery.
The following are comments from the Public Works Department:
1. The south 12 feet of the entire parcel shall be dedicated to the city for public right-of-
way.
2. SW 340th St. requires the widening on the north side, with new curb, gutter and
sidewalk in conformance with the city's standards. In lieu of constructing the
improvements, the applicant may enter into a No-Protest agreement with the City for the
formation of a Local Improvement District (LID). This street appears on the City's
Transportation Improvement Program project #20.

3. All lots shall be accessed through the proposed access easement. This easement shall be
30 feet in width, improved to city standards with 20-foot paved surface with curb and
gutter. If the existing curb cut in SW 340th Street is not utilized, this curb cut and
associated sidewalk on SW 340th St shall be removed and replaced with full curb and
gutter and new sidewalk.
4. The short plat document shall provide a statement pertaining to the maintenance
responsibilities for the access easement.
5. A typical infiltration system shall be designed for the individual lots based on soil logs
of the site. These infiltration systems shall be designed to handle runoff from 3000
square feet of roof and other impervious surfaces on each lot. The access road system
shall have an independent infiltration system. Design of the systems shall follow the
King County Surface Water Design Manual standards.
6. If the use of infiltration systems is not possible due to poor soil conditions, a storm
drainage detention system will be required with controlled discharge into the existing
system in SW 340th St.
7. Oil/water separation shall be required for that portion of the runoff originating from the
driveways.
8. Letters of water and sewer availability shall be submitted to the city.
The current submittal shows a driveway system that would front the future buildings on the lots.
The access portion which is shared by all parties will need to be a minimum 20 feet in width for
two directional traffic. When this access roadway enters onto the other two lots to either side,
these roadways may be reduced down to minimum 12-foot driveways. It is recommended that
the driveways be setback from the future property line and a landscape buffer be provided
between the road and these driveways.
Submittal contents for the short plat should conform to the checklist provided with these
comments. Any question regarding the listed items on the checklist may be directed to Julie
Venn at 661-4125.
