Land Use Issues — Stormwater
Surface water runoff control and water quality treatment will be required per the 2016 King County Surface
Water Design Manual (KCSWDM). This project meets the requirements for a Full Drainage Review. At the
time of land use site plan submittal, a preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR), addressing the
relevance of the project to the nine core and five special requirements of the KCSWDM will be required.
A Level 1 downstream analysis shall also be provided in the preliminary TIR. The city has 1" = 100', five-
foot contour planimetric maps in GIS format that may be used for basin analysis.
2. The project lies within a conservation flow control area; thus, the applicant must design the flow control
facility to meet this performance criteria. In addition to flow control facilities, Best Management Practices
(BMP's) are required as outlined in the KCSWDM. The project also lies within an Enhanced Basic Water
,Quality Area. Water quality treatment shall be designed to meet the treatment criteria of the Enhanced
Basic Water Quality Menu.
3. In addition to the KCSWDM, our initial review suggests that FWRC 19.30.120, "Nonconforming Water
Quality Improvements" applies to this site. Specifically, the following items are applicable:
La. Redevelopment which involves the creation or addition of impervious surfaces having an
area of 5,000 square feet or more;
Lb. Redevelopment which involves the construction or replacement of a building footprint or
other structure having a surface area of 5,000 square feet or more, or which involves the
expansion of a building footprint or other structure by 5,000 square feet of surface area or more;
1.c. Redevelopment which involves the repair or replacement of 5,000 square feet or more of
an impervious surface, when such redevelopment is not part of a routine maintenance activity;
Ld. Redevelopment which involves the collection and/or concentration of surface and/or
stormwater runoff from a drainage area of 5,000 square feet or more;
1.e. Redevelopment which contains or directly discharges to a floodplain, stream, lake, wetland,
or closed depression, groundwater recharge area, or other water quality sensitive area
determined by the Public Works Director, based on a written map, policy, water quality
monitoring data or plan in existence or implemented by the director prior to submission of a
redevelopment application which is determined to trigger application of this subsection, or
based on information developed during review of a particular redevelopment application;
Lf. Redevelopment which involves a change in use, and the changed use has a potential to
release a new pollutant(s) to surface water systems within the city. For the purposes of this
subsection, "new pollutant(s)" means a pollutant that was- not discharged at that location
immediately prior to the change in use, as well as a pollutant that was discharged in less
quantities immediately prior to the change in use;
1.g. Redevelopment, other than normal maintenance or other than the tenant improvements,
but including any increase in gross floor area, in any one consecutive 12-month period which
exceeds 50 percent of the assessed or appraised value (whichever is greater) of the structure or

improvement being redeveloped. The applicant may provide an appraisal of the improvement.
The appraisal must be fiom a source acceptable to the city. The director may require the
applicant to provide an appraisal From a second source acceptable to the city if the assessed
valuation appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. If more than one appraisal is provided by
the applicant or required by the city, the greater of the two amounts shall be used. For
purposes of this determining value under this section, improvements required pursuant to
FWRC 19.30.090 (nonconforming development), 19.30.110 (street/sidewalk improvements),
19.30.120 (nonconforming water quality improvements) and 19.135.030 (street sidewalk
improvements) shall not be counted towards the 50 percent threshold which would trigger
application of this subsection;
1.h. Redevelopment of property which drains or discharges to a receiving water that has a
documented water quality problem, as determined by the Public Works Director based on a
map, plan, water quality monitoring data, or a written policy in existence or implemented by
the director prior to submission of a redevelopment application determined to trigger
application of this subsection, where the director determines that the redevelopment requires
additional specific controls to address the documented water quality problem.
Therefore, water quality treatment will be required for the entire site, including new and existing pollution
generating impervious surfaces. Treatment options must be selected from the Enhanced Basic Water
Quality Menu provided in the KCSWDM.
4. If infiltration is proposed, soil logs prepared by a licensed geotechnical engineer or septic designer must
be provided to verify infiltration suitability.
5. Detention and water quality facilities must be above ground (i.e. open pond). Underground facilities are
allowed only with approval from the City of Federal Way Public Works Department.
6. Show the proposed location and dimensions of the existing and proposed detention and water quality
facilities on the preliminary plans.
7. If more than one acre will be disturbed during construction, a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) construction stormwater permit may be required. Information regarding this permit
can be obtained from the Washington State Department of Ecology at 360-407-6048, or
www.ec .w , ov/ )gnms w s rm ter construeti n index.hunl.
8. If work is to be done below the ordinary high -water -mark, a Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) permit
may be required. Information regarding this permit can be obtained from the Washington Department of
Fish and Wildlife.

and $167.00 per hour for additional review time. A final TIR shall be prepared for the project and
submitted with the engineering plans. Both the TIR and the plans will require the signature/seal of a
professional engineer registered/licensed in the State of Washington.
2. To assist the applicant's engineer in preparing the plans and TIR, the Federal allay Public TdVorks Development
Standards Manual (including standard detail drawings, standard notes, and engineering checklists) is
available on the city's website at http:l/ww%n.cityoffederalway.comlindex.aspx?n.id=171.
3. 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 administrative 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 the improvements,
and final approval of the Public Works Inspector, the bond will be reduced to 30 percent of the original
amount and held for a two-year maintenance period.
4. The developer will 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 becomc the responsibility of the city. Maintenance for private roads
and drainage facilities, including short plats, remain the responsibility of the individual property owners.
5. When topographic survey information is shown on the plans, the vertical datum block shall include the
phrase "DATUM: N.G.V.D.-29" or "DATUM: K.C.A.S.," on all sheets where vertical elevations are
called out.
6. Drawings submitted for plan review shall be printed on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" paper. Site plans shall be
drawn at a scale of 1" = 20', or larger. Architectural scales are not permitted on engineering plans.
7. Provide cut and fill quantities on the clearing and grading plan.
8. Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control (TESL) measures, per Appendix D of the 2016 KCSWDM,
must be shown on the engineering plans.
9. The site plan shall show the location of any existing and proposed utilities in the areas affected by construction.

Transportation Concurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90)
1. Based on the submitted materials for 335 square feet of additional commercial building using the
Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation - 10th Edition, land use code 841 (Automobile
Sales - Used), the proposed project is estimated to generate approximately one new weekday PM peak
hour trip. Alternatively, the applicant may submit a site -specific trip generation study for the proposed
development.

Ms. Savanna Nagorski
Page 9 of 14
January 22, 2020
2. A concurrency permit is required for this development project. The PW Traffic Division will perform a
concurrency analysis to determine if -adequate roadway capacity exists during the weekday PM peak
period to accommodate the proposed development. Please mote 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).
3. The estimated fee for the concurrency permit application is ,$1,721 (1 - 10 trips). This fee is an estimate and
based on the materials submitted for the preapplication meeting. The concurrency application 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 any changes in the estimated weekday PM peak hour trips as identified in the
concurrency application. 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)
Commercial— Based on the submitted materials for 335 square feet of additional commercial building
added to the existing building, the estimate traffic impact fee is $3,232.07. 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 19.100.070P][a]). For a change in use for
which no building permit is required, the fee shall be calculated and paid based on the impact fee
schedule in effect on the date of an approved change of use.
Street Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135)
1. Based on the available records and the submitted materials, it appears that this proposal may require
street frontage improvements. This requirement may be modified by the Public Works Director as
outlined in the FWRC.

Solid Waste & Recycling Design Considerations
■ Provide adequate space allocation for interior and exterior garbage, recycling, food waste, waste oil, yard
debris, hazardous waste, or biohazard collection containers. Minimum recycling space allocation is
established by FWRC 19.125.150.
• For basic solid waste and recycling needs within a single enclosure, clear interior dimensions measuring
10 feet deep by 20 feet across are recommended, along with a two -door swing -open or roll -open gate
that spans the front width of the enclosure. When gate doors are opened, no structure or hardware
should remain above grade across the enclosure opening. Gate pins/holes are preferred for holding gates
in closed and open positions to ease service access and maximize the life of gate hardware.
• Sites may require a larger enclosure, or multiple enclosures, to accommodate on -site user access and/or
additional waste types and containers.
19-105175-00-PC - Doc ID: 79910
Ms. Savanna Nagorski
Page 10 of 14
January 22, 2020
• Plan for user access to interior waste and recycling storage areas/containers, and to exterior containers
screened by enclosure(s).
• Plan for unobstructed, safe enclosure ingress and egress for service vehicles, directly in line with
enclosure openings. Allow appropriate turning radii for service vehicles, and minimize potential "blind
spots" during ingress and egress.
• Consider landscaping, setbacks, and screening requirements (based on FWRC 19.125.040[4] & [51).
• Note that larger -scale commercial or multi -unit housing developments may see long-term savings from the
use of on -site waste compaction equipment. Planning for this equipment may require larger enclosure
dimensions, defined overhead clearances, consideration of power utility access, and drainage management.
* Mixed -use developments may also benefit from on -site waste compaction equipment. Additional mixed -
use development considerations include:
o Designated chutes and/or internal facility maintenance areas or services for tenants;
o Moving waste and recycling streams from interior units to collection areas; and
o Access by business tenants and/or residents to exterior waste and recycling areas.
Help with many design parameters related to service access is available via the city's contracted solid waste
services provider, Waste Management. Contact Senior Route Manager John Davis at 206-786-4530 (cell).

RE: Request for Pre -Application Conference
All Right Auto Sales Expansion
Dear Mr. Hansen:
1 I 4?
Job No. 2094-001-019
On behalf of Joe Azzam with NYH Properties, ESM Consulting Engineers is submitting this
letter and accompanying information as our request for a pre -application conference with
the City of Federal Way for the expansion of All Right Auto Sales.
The subject property includes 2.4 acres of BC zoned property within the City of Federal
Way. The site has direct access from SR 99/Pacific Hwy S containing King County tax
parcel 172104-9047 located at 33333 Pacific Hwy S.
The following is a general project narrative that outlines the proposal as well as known
issues and constraints that are relevant to this project:
Zoning and Land Use
The subject property is zoned BC - Community Business and is currently undeveloped.
Per FWRC 19.220.030, this proposed project is identified as a `retail establishment
providing vehicle sales.'
Since the site is already developed and the proposal includes an expansion of the current
use, this project proposes to keep the existing site development as nonconforming as
outlined in FWRC 19.30.090, while not exceeding the building expansion greater than 25%
of the existing gross floor area (GFA).
The primary structure and parking lot configuration proposed as part of this project will
meet all the underlying zoning requirements, which include building setbacks, building
height, tree retention, access and design guidelines.

Surrounding uses are as follows:
• North: Vacant
• South: Office Building
East: SR 99 / Commercial
• West: Vacant / Commercial / Menth Health Services (Telecare)
Existing Site Develo ment
The existing site is developed as an auto sales facility with a 1,342 GFA office, 2 carports,
1 storage container and approximately 140 existing parking stalls for office guests and
vehicle sales. The site contains approximately 47,600 SF of impervious surface, exclusive
of the building footprints.
The known nonconforming aspects of the sites are listed below:
- Landscape buffers adjacent to neighboring properties and an arterial ROW;
- Parking lot drive aisles and dimensions;
- Parking lot landscaping;
- Building setbacks;
- Site lighting.
Critical Areas
There is a known drainage feature on the west side of the subject property that connects
to the City's stormwater infrastructure via culverts and pipes north and south of the site.
Earlier this year, this drainage feature was proposed to be tight lined by the City's Public
Works department. However, due to the recommendations by the City's consultant,
Landau Associates, the drainage feature was classified as a stream and subsequently not
approved to be culverted and directly connect to the piped stormwater system.
The applicant has consulted with Sewall Wetland Consulting to determine the stream
delineation and type. Sewall previously provided an analysis for the Telecare site,
classifying the stream as Type Ns. During that site's review process, the City's third -party
consultant, Otak, agreed with the stream typing proposed by Sewall.
As a part of this preapplication review, a Critical Areas Report prepared by Sewall
concerning this subject property is included with this application. His report concludes
that the Type Ns stream will require a 35' buffer, per City of Federal Way standards. The
stream delineation was field surveyed by ESM and is represented on the included
conceptual site plan. No other critical areas are known to be on or near the property.
The site's topography gradually slopes west towards the stream from the existing parking
lot area. No steep slopes are identified on the subject property.
Utilities
Water and sanitary sewer services are provided by Lakehaven Water and Sewer District.
Water and an on -site sewage system currently serve the existing office building onsite.
The applicant is interested in the opportunity to connect to the public sewer system. The
applicant has received Water and Sewer Availability Certificates from Lakehaven to review
potential connection options. A Lakehaven sewer easement is located onsite that crosses
Mr. Robert "Doc" Hans(-.��
October 28, 2019
Page 3
the stream to connect to sewer on the Telecare site. The only other options would require
crossing SR 99.
Due to the site's topography and the presence of the onsite stream associated with the
City's stormwater infrastructure, this project proposes to retain project -associated
stormwater for the new expansion area in a private, underground vault that slow -releases
into the adjacent stream. It is assumed that the project will not be required to provide flow
control for the existing improvement, Water quality standards will be reviewed for the
entire site and facilities will be provided as necessary.
Site Design
The project proposes to maintain the extent of the existing impervious surface area and
nonconforming area, with the exception of a small portion near the proposed drive aisle
on the south side of the project that will be converted to landscaping. A few parking stalls
will be reconfigured to incorporate a parking lot expansion. The stream buffer will be
considered during site design,
The total expansion will add approximately 25,000 SF impervious surface to include a total
of approximately 215 stalls throughout the auto sales property, The parking expansion
arrangement will comprise of a series of 90` parking stall rows with a few parallel parking
stalls where feasible,
In Order to accommodate the additional parking stalls and avoid impacts to the stream,
the applicant will request the city grant approval under FWRC 19.125.100. The auto sales
use on the subject property necessitates the parking lot configuration be designed
differently than typical office or commercial spaces. This includes modified stall quantity,
dimensions and parking lot landscaping that is more suitable for a vehicle retail
establishment As such, the applicant will request that any landscaping requirements for
the parking rows and lot as outlined in FWRC 19.125.070 be supplemented by providing
additional landscaping in the open areas near the stream and buffer as opposed to within
the parking lot itself.
As part of the expansion, the applicant proposes to add 335 SF to the existing office
building. This is within the 25% GFA addition allowed under FWRC 19.30,090. This will
require relocating a 400 SF carport/container westward of the existing building. In
metal structure, primarily to maintain internal climate for the workers. addition, the applicant is interested in updating the existing carports with an enclosed
Retaining walls will be implemented adjacent to the stream buffer to accommodate for
site grading.
Further, the applicant is interested in resurfacing the existing improvements on site to
reduce damage and safety concerns with the existing condition. Please confirm if this
specific improvement is exempt from City review.
Questions
The following is a list of questions related to the project that we would like to discuss at
the preapplication meeting:
Mr. Robert "Doc" Hans..
October 28, 2019
Page 4
7- The applicant is interested in moving the excess dirt from the project on their
adjacent property's development to fill this site for development. Are there any
limitations to this option?
2• What land use process is required for the proposal if no stream impacts are
proposed?
3. What is required to come into conformance with this proposal?
4. As proposed, would this project require SEPA review? Under what conditions
would SEPA be required for this project?
5. Is the City receptive to approving modifications as allowed in FWRC 19.125.100?
6• Is the property owner allowed to resurface the existing parking lot impervious
areas without additional review?
7• What requirements apply to updating the existing carports with an enclosed metal
structure? Does this need to be incorporated into the project proposal for City
approval?
8. Will the relocation of the existing 400 SF carport/container need City approval?
9• Will the City adopt a maintenance easement over the stream?
10. How is the tree retention calculation determined with the proposed expansion?

OBSERVATIONS
Existing Site Documentation.
Prior to visiting the site, a review of several natural resource inventory
maps was conducted. Resources reviewed included the National Wetland
Inventory Map, the NRCS Soil Survey online mapping and the WADNR
Fpars stream mapping website and the WDFW Priority Habitats and
Species maps for the site,
Telecare Stream Determination - Sewall Wetland Consulting, Inc.
12-7-15.
A study of Parcels 7681.90-0010 & 0020 was conducted by our company
in 2015. This property abuts the south and west sides of the All Right
Auto property. A small stream passes through this site which enters the
site from the All Right Auto site. This stream was determined to be a
Type Ns stream in that study with a 35' buffer.
Soil Survey
According to data on file with the on-line NRCS Soil Survey, the site is
mapped as somewhat excessively drained Everett-Alderwood gravelly
loam. Neither Alderwood or Everett soils are considered "hydric" or
wetland soils.

As previously discussed, a drainage channel passes through the site
which would be considered a natural stream based upon our previous
site visit with WDFW. This channel was flagged with blue flagging
labeled E 1-E 16 and W 1-W 16. This channel consists of a highly incised
channel which emerges out of a 3' concrete culvert at the northeast
corner of the site. This channel appears to work primarily as a storm
drainage feature and has a highly flashy hydrology based upon large
areas of impervious surface which feed the storm drain system north of
the site where this water originates. The channel has a cobble bottom
and has been dry during our site visits, but heavy flows are evident from
the amount of erosion and in cutting of the channel. Portions of the
channel have cut into the soil up to 7' deep vertically. Trash and debris
from storm flows are evident throughout the channel.
This stream appears to be a seasonal non-fishbearing stream and
therefore best meets the definition in Federal Way Municipal Code
(FWMC) of a Type Ns stream due to seasonal flow. According to FWMC
19.145.270.1, Type Ns streams have a 35' buffer measured from the
OHWM.
