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. The neighboring short plat to the east of the site appears to have soils that were capable of facilitating infiltration for stormwater runoff. If infiltration is proposed for this project, soil logs 15-100698 Doe. I D.68193 I • P *J a licellsot •'— 10 m6ineer 11- SOPLOSIAger 17veuv TM17 infiltration suitability. 4. Any detention and water quality facilities for the short plat must be above ground (i.e. open pond). Underground facilities are allowed only with approval from the City of Federal Way Stormwater Management Division. 5.

Lots and intersections within new subdivisions or short plats must be designed to meet this standard. Engineered plans are required for clearing, grading, road construction, and utility work. Plans must be reviewed and approved by the City. Engineering review fees are $569.50 for EN submittal, and $68.50 per hour for additional review time.

Both the TrR and the plans will require the signature/seal of a professional engineer registered/licensed in the State of Washington. 2. Prior to short plat recording, all on- and off -site improvements shall be constructed and accepted by the Public Works Department. 3. In addition to engineering approval, short plats and subdivisions are required to obtain a separate permit for grading of lots. Details and fees may be obtained from the Federal Way Building Department. is The Federal Way Development Standards Manual (including standard detail drawings, standard notes, and engineering checklists) is available on the City's website at www�citvoffWqra1�yMggM to assist the applicant's engineer in preparing the plans and TIR. 15-100698 Doc S.D.. 68193 Ms. Pease Page 7 March 18, 2015 i7y� erood �itn, an• sediment OiCii• oil j jir, 11 T 1p��lilli�lljqllli�l I i 1 1 i 11 rqads�and Subdivision dtairl fbj�ilitlesjbgft become theresponsibility MUM t—Ity.
