Transportation Concurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90)
1. Based on the submitted materials for 217,300 square feet warehouse, the Institute of Transportation Engineers
(ITE) Trip Generation - 811, Edition, land use code 150 (Warehouse), the proposed project is estimated to
generate approximately 70 new weekday PM peak hour trips and 774 daily trips. The applicant may use
ITE LUC 150 if the proposed project matches the descriptions.
2. A concurrency permit is required for this development project. The PW Traffic Division will perform
concurrency analysis to determine 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 the proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in
the six -year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP).
The estimated fee for the concurrency permiL 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
applicant fee must be paid in full at the time the concurrency permit application is submitted with the
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)
1. Based on the submitted materials for 217,300 square feet warehouse, the estimated traffic impact fee is
,$314,P37. Please note, the actual impact fee will be calculated based on the fee schedule in effect at the time
a completed building permit application is filed and paid prior to permit issuance (FWRC 19.100.070 3[a]).
Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) (FWCC 22-1475)
A traffic impact analysis (TIA) prepared by an engineer licensed in the state of Washington is required. Please
contact Traffic Division staff for scoping sheet in the initial stage. The TIA should include the following:
• SR 18/ Weyerhaeuser Way S ramps LOS analysis.
• Queuing analysis and LOS analysis at access points for morning and evening peak hours.
• Pavement analysis to ensure it can accommodate the expected truck traffic.
• Left -turn lane for truck access and storage pocket needed to accommodate traffic from Greenline
Warehouse "A" and Greenline Warehouse "B." -
• Trip Generation Study for specific use such as Parcel Hub or Fulfillment Center.

Weyerhaeuser Way South is classified as a minor arterial consisting of a 66-foot street with
curb and gutter, 6-foot planter strips with street trees, 8-foot sidewalks, and street lights
within a 100-foot right-of-way. The Public Works Director has issued a right-of-way
modification for the proposed 314,424 square feet warehouse development. This right-of-
way modification is still valid and would also apply to this development. The applicant may
construct the frontage improvements in phases according to each project or the whole
improvements with the first development project.
2. The applicant may make a written request to the Public Works Director to modify, defer, or waive the
required street improvements (FWCC 22-1477). information about a 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.
3. Tapers and transitions beyond the project frontage may be required as deemed necessary for safety
purposes; taper rate shall be WS^2/60 or as directed by the Public Works Director.
Access Management (FWCC 22-1543)
1. Per FWCC 22-1543, the driveway must be located no closer than 150 feet to any street intersection or to
any other driveway, whether on or off the subject property.
2. It is recommended that the proposed driveways on the private loop road should not be located closer
than 150 feet.
3. The proposed "truck only" driveway shall be limited to 30 feet in width per Section VIII of the
Concomitant Agreement. This driveway must be designed to accommodate traffic from the proposed
Greenline Warehouse "A" and Greenline Warehouse `B."
4. Staff understands that this development will utilize a 30-foot "truck only" driveway from the parcel to the
north. As such, this driveway must be designed to accommodate the expected vehicles using the site in
term of storage length and turning radii, since left -turn storage would extend into the SR-1-8 Limited
Access limits. Please coordinate with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WDSOT) for
channelization plan approval. This driveway will be restricted to left -in, right -in, and right -out only. Please
note, WSDOT may further prohibit access to or from the driveway as deemed appropriate.
5. The development may be requited to dedicate additional right-of-way to accommodate additional turn
lane improvements if identified in the transportation study and/or property corner radius.
6. Adequate throat length must be provided and shall be at least 40 feet from the edge of pavement or curb.
The throat length may be reduced for a one-way driveway with no potential conflict.

Water
■ Lakehaven issued a Water Certificate of Availability for the proposed project property on August 7, 2017_
The certificate is valid for one-year from date of issuance.
Hydraulic model results (FF #324) indicate that Lakehaven's standard maximum allowable system liquid
velocity of 10 feet/s is exceeded at a fire flow rate above 4,100 GPM, provided new water main through
/on the site is connected (looped) to existing 12 inch water main north-northwest of the proposed site,
and also to existing 12 inch water main in Weyerhaeuser Way South. This flow figure depicts the
calculated performance of the water distribution system under high demand conditions. Fire flow rates
greater than available in the existing distribution system may be accommodated through water
distribution system improvements. Please contact Lakehaven for further detail.
A Lakehaven Developer Extension (DE) Agreement will be required to construct new and/or abandon
existing water distribution system facilities for the proposed development. Additional detail and/or design
requirements can be obtained from Lakehaven by completing and submitting a separate application to
Lakehaven for either a Developer Pre -Design Meeting or a DE Agreement. Lakehaven encourages
owners/developers/applicants to apply for Lakehaven processes separately to Lakehaven, and sufficiently
early in the pre-design/planning phase to avoid delays in overall project development.
• For water use during site construction/development, a hydrant meter may be approved for rental from
Lakehaven for this purpose. Please contact Lakehaven for further detail.
s To satisfy premise isolation requirements, the installation and satisfactory testing of an approved backflow
prevention assembly (BPA) adjacent to each service meter is required pursuant to WAC 246-290-490 and
Lakehaven standards regarding premise isolation. Because the cross -connection hazard(s) cannot be
determined at this time, Lakehaven cannot specify the minimum required BPA device. The applicant will be
required to complete and submit to Lakehaven a Water Use Questionnaire (WUQ). Information in the
WUQ will be used by Lakehaven to help determine specific premise isolation (aka backflow prevention)
requirements. Contact Lakehaven's Cross -Connection Control Program Manager (Chris Zoepfl,
CZoepfl@ akehaven.org, 253-946-5427) for additional information on premise isolation/BPA installation
and testing coordination.
■ The associated DE Agreement must achieve a point of either Substantial Completion or Acceptance, as
determined by Lakehaven, prior to activating any new domestic or irrigation water service connection(s).

PROJECT NARRATIVE
ESM Consulting Engineers, LLC is continuing development of the southeastern portion of
the Greenline Campus by proposing a Warehouse "B" building adjacent to the proposed
Warehouse "A" site. The proposed Warehouse "B" building will utilize similar design
materials for the exterior facade as proposed for Warehouse "A". The proposed
warehouse building footprint will be ±217,300 SF. The single -story building height will be
similar to Greenline Warehouse "A", in that it will not exceed a 6-story building height.
Proposed vehicular access to Greenline Warehouse "B" will be from the Private "Loop
Road" and trucks will enter the warehouse. loading bays and trailer parking, sharing the
driveway with Warehouse A. The parking lot has been designed to accommodate 244 car
stalls that wrap around the north, west, and south side of the building, leaving room for fire
apparatus access all the way around. A t2-6 foot retaining wall separates the majority of
the Warehouse "B" site from the Warehouse "A" site. This is due to the elevation change
across the site and the need to provide a flat building pad.

CRITICAL AREAS
Currently, there are several wetlands that exist on the Greenline Warehouse "B" site. The
wetlands that occur on site are labeled: ED, EF, EC, DT, DU, DP, DW, DX, and DZ.
Additionally, there is a minor stream on site, labeled EA. These critical areas are all noted
on previous applications made on Warehouse "A" project.
There are anticipated impacts to wetlands ED (primarily on Warehouse "A" site); EF; EC;
DU; DW; and DZ as part of this proposal. Additional impacts to minor stream EA are also
likely to occur.
STORMWATER
The proposed Greenline Warehouse "B" will share a stormwater detention pond with the
proposed Greenline Warehouse "A". The pond is located at the southern end of the
Greenline Warehouse "B" property (see attached site plan for details).
For more information please refer to the attached site plan.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 253-838-6113.
