Bonding is required for all street improvements and temporary erosion and sediment control measures associated with the project. The bond amount shall be 120 percent of the estimated costs of the improvements. An adininistrative fee deposit will need to accompany the bond to cover any possible legal fees in the event the bond must be called. Upon completion of the installation of die unprovements, and final approval of the. Public Works Inspector, the bond will be reduced to 30 percent of the original amount and held for a taw -year maintenance period. The developer %rill be responsible for the maintenance of all storm drainage facilities (including the detention and water quality facilities) and street systems during the two-year maintenance period. During that time, the Public Works Inspector will make periodic visits to the site to ensure the developer's compliance with the maintenance requirements. Upon satisfactory completion of the two-year maintenance period, the remainder of the bond will be released. Maintenance for public roads and subdivision drainage facilities then become the responsibility of the city. Nfa.intenance for private roads and drainage facilities, including short plats, remain the responsibility of the individual property owners. 7.

PUBLIC WORKS—TIta.PPIC DIVISION (Sarady Long, 253-835-2743, sarada*.losi tc ckyoffcderaimmy.com) Transportation Concurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90) 1. Based on the submitted materials for 93 townhomes, the Institute of Transportation Fngineers (ITE) Trip Generation - 811, Edition, land use code 230 (Residential Condominium/Townhouse), the proposed project is estimated to generate approximately 57 new weekday PM peak hour trips. Filc I7.I OA i±8 00-Pc Doc IU:'C 193 Mr. Evan \Mann Page 12 of 19 October 12, 2017 2. A concurrency permit is required for this development project. The Traffic Division will perform a concurrency analysis to deternne 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 die proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in the six -}year Transportation Improvement Plan (Tl1'). 3. The estimated fee for the concurrency permit application is $8,505.00 (51 - 500 trips). This fee is an estimate and based on the materials submitted for the preapplication conference. The concurrency he concurrency permit application is submitted with the application fee trust be paid in full at the time t land use application. The fee may change based on the new weekday PM peak hour trips as identified in the concurrency 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) Based on the submitted materials for 93 townhouse units, the estimate total traffic impact fee is $240,827- The actual fee will be assessed and collected from the applicant when the building permit is issued, using the fee schedule then in effect (FWRC 19.100.070[3] [c]). Street Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135) The applicant/owner will be expected to construct street improvements consistent with the planned roadway cross -sections as shown in Map III-4 in Chapter III of the Fedoml Vqy Coinprehenlive 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: 6 South 333,a Street is a Minor Collector planned as a Type "R" street, consisting of a 40-foot street with curb and gutter, 4-foot planter strips with street trees, 6-foot sidewalks, and street lights in a 66-foot right-of-way. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, a 6-foot right-of-way dedication and full street improvements are required. ■ Twentieth Avenue South is a Minor Collector planned as a Type "R" street, consisting of a 40-foot street with curb and gutter, 4-foot planter strips with street trees, 6-foot sidewalks, and street lights in a 66-foot right-of-way. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, a 3-foot right-of-way dedication and half street improvements are required as measured from the street centerline. ■ Internal roads shall be a Type `W," consisting of a 28-foot street with curb and gutter, 4-foot planter with street trees, 5-foot sidewalks, and street lights in a 52-foot right-of-way. ■ Private internal streets (alley) shall be per Dwg. 3-2FF., Dwg. 3-2FF, and Dwg. 3-2GG. A turn- around may be required as determined by South king Fire do Rescue. 2. The applicant may make a written request to the Public Works Director to modify, defer, or waive the required street improvements (FDv'RC 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 at $290.00 ($270.00 plus a $20 recording fee).

Access management standards are based on roadway safety and capacity requirements, FWRC 19.135.280 provides access standards for streets based on planned roadway cross -sections. Please note that access classifications are per Drawing 3-1A in the Public Works Development Standards. 2. The current proposal does not meet access management standards. The proposed new streets must be located no closer than 150 feet to any street intersection, or to any other driveway, whether on or off the subject property. The proposed accesses must be relocated to meet access management standards. Alternatively, the applicant may request a modification from the Public Works Director. 3. A second access must be provided to serve lots 47 through 93. A new street/access connecting to 206' Avenue South should be provided for circulation. Depending on the internal street layout, a temporary turn -around meeting fire department standards may be required. 4. The director may grant a modification administratively to reduce spacing standards by up to 20 percent of the tabular values with supporting documentation (FWRC 19.135.290). Please note that these modification requests have a nominal review fee of $290. Once a preliminary traffic queuing analysis has been completed, the applicant's traffic engineer may submit a written request for access modification if desired. 5. For driveways that serve uses other than single-family residential uses and zero lot line townhouse developments, the maximum driveway width is 30 feet for a two-lane two-way driveway and 40 feet for a three -lane two-way driveway (F\`(/RC 19.135.270). Driveway widths may be increased in order to provide adequate width for vehicles that may be reasonably expected to use the driveway, as deterinined by the Public Works Director. 6. A traffic circle should be installed at 20t1, Avenue South and South 333,d Street. Please analyze if the four- way stop control intersection can be converted to a traffic circle. 7. "Traffic cahning devices may be needed on 20t1, Avenue South and South 333rd Street. R. No street, or combination of streets, shall function as a cul-de-sac longer than 600 feet (F\VRC 18,55.010). 9. Verify intersection sight distance in meeting AASI ITO intersection sight distance requirements at the proposed new street connection to 20d' Avenue South.

The project includes King County tax parcel 797820-0085, -0086, and -0090, which totals approximately 10.18 acres of RM 3.6 zoned property located in the southwestern portion of Federal Way. The Creekside Commons Townhome site consists of two parcels on the north and south sides of South 333rd Street, with both parcels featuring a stream flowing in a southwesterly direction. The concept is to create a residential neighborhood with both front -loaded and alley -loaded townhomes to meet the zoning requirements of the RM-3.6 zone. The site plan includes a total of 93 townhomes with mostly duplex structures and three triplex structures. The townhomes are accessed by way of a public street with parking on one side. Guest parking will be placed adjacent to the alley -loaded townhomes so that conflicts with driveways would be minimized. Each townhome will include a two car garage with the front -loaded townhome also including apron parking. The street system in the southerly portion of the neighborhood includes a hammerhead turnaround due to the access and physical constraints of this area. Required open space will be created within the neighborhoods, along the perimeter streets, and over the storm drainage vaults. Some of the alley -loaded townhomes will be accessed by way of greencourts located between the structures. The greencourts will include sidewalks for guests to access the front doors of these townhomes. The intent is to have the townhomes platted on individual fee simple lots, with each lot being a minimum of 2250 square feet. The conceptual site plan calls for the alley to be placed in an easement.

The project proposes a preliminary plat consisting of 93 lots for use as townhomes or multi -family. The lots proposed as part of this project will all meet the underlying zoning requirements. Surrounding uses are as follows: • North: Multi -family, Apartments • South: Single Family Residential, Multi -family East: 20th Ave South, Single Family Residential, Multi -family • West: Trailer homes, Multi -family Existina Conditions The site is comprised of two parcels that are bisected by S 33rd Street and by a stream that runs from the northeast corner to the southwest corner of the properties. The stream crosses under S 333rd Street approximately at the mid -point of the site. Both parcels are forested with trees and underlying shrubs. There are mild slopes on the site that flow to the creek. There is an existing single family home that is in average condition. Critical Areas There is a stream that crosses the site as described above. The stream is considered a tributary to the Hylebos Stream and will likely have protective buffers a prescribed by a biologist. There are no other known wetlands or critical areas on the site. A full critical area reconnaissance and report will be prepared and provided as part of the development plan. Access and Utilities The site will take primary access from South 333rd Street and 20th Avenue South. The parcel that lies north of S 333rd Street will have a 50' wide through street that connects from 20th Avenue S to S 333r0 Street. The parcel that lies to the south of S 333rd Street will have a single 50' wide access from S 333rd Street that terminates in a hammerhead style turnaround in the southwest corner of the property. Frontage improvements are anticipated along both S 333rd Street and 20th Avenue S. Due to the stream and associated buffers we anticipate the improvements in those areas being reduced for minimal critical area impact. Utility location are not currently known but it is anticipated that utilities will be extended and looped as necessary through the plat to serve the lots. Storm will be detained, treated, and released per current City of Federal Way stormwater management plans.
