Jim Ferrell, Mayor
This letter responds to your request to waive the required street improvements along S 337t' St,
which abuts the above -referenced property. After evaluating the existing conditions along the
referenced street, review of Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) provisions (Section 19-135),
and direction provided by the City Council, the Public Works Department hereby modifies the
requirements for street improvements.
Code Section (FWRC) 19-135.070 Modifications of Improvements Along Property Frontage
allows the Public Works Department to grant a request to modify, defer, or waive the required
street improvements only after consideration of four specific reasons. The reason most
applicable here is contained in FWCC Section 19-135.070(1), "Improvements as required would
not be harmonious with existing street improvements."
S 337a` Street is classified as a local street, corresponding to Federal Way Roadway Section "W".
This roadway section requires a 24-foot paved roadway, a four -foot planter strip, a five-foot
sidewalk, and a three-foot utility strip, all within a 52-foot right-of-way. Application of the
required street improvements would result in an improved street section that is not harmonious
with existing street improvements, which consists of an 18-20-foot paved roadway within a
68-foot right-of-way. The applicant is required to widen the road if necessary along the property
frontage to meet a minimum width of 20 feet. The property frontage and right-of-way must be
staked in the field and verified by City staff. If improvements are required, staff will direct you
as to whether a plan and cross-section are required.
The applicant must also execute a City of Federal Way Local Improvement District Waiver of
Protest Covenant (`No -Protest LID'), in the event a future LID is formed to bring S 337 h Street
up to require standards. The No -Protest LID document will be sent under separate cover and
must be signed, notarized, and returned to the City prior to issuance of a building permit.

Project Name ' LL Management LLC Single Family Residence
Permit # 19-101078-SM
Location 3102 S 337' Street
Re uest
The applicant is building a new single family home on an undeveloped parcel and requests that
frontage improvements be waived along his approximately 70' of frontage on S 3371h Street.
Staff Analysis
S 337a` Street is a type "W" street requiring 24' of pavement with 4' planter strip, 5' sidewalk,
and 3' utility strip on both sides, within a 52' right-of-way.
The existing street is paved 20 feet wide with a ditch on the south side. It is unevenly crowned,
with very little longitudinal slope, and located within a right-of-way that is approximately 68'
wide. Surrounding topography is relatively flat.
Code section 19.135.070 criterion #1, "the improvements as required would not be harmonious
with existing street improvements, would not function properly or safely or would not be
advantageous to the neighborhood or City as a whole" is the reason that most applies in this case.
This reason has previously been applied and right-of-way modifications have been granted for
other single-family homes located on this road.
Staff Recommendation
Curb, gutter, sidewalk, planter strip, and street widening beyond 20 feet would not be
harmonious with the existing street improvements and should be waived. South King Fire
approved this modification request, with the condition that the home will have an automatic fire
sprinkler system.
Conditions of Aipproval
The applicant must provide a minimum of 20 feet of pavement width along the property
frontage.
