establishing more than 40 new parking spaces for the RTTO lot.
• All outdoor use, activity, and storage areas must comply with required buffers for the primary use
(15' side;.20' rear). 'I
• The outdoor storage area must be fenced with a minimum six -foot -high solid screening fence or wall
that complies with the design guidelines in Chapter 19.115 FWRC.
o If utilized, chain -link fences visible from public rights -of -way or adjacent properties, and not
screened by Type I landscaping as defined by Chapter 19.125 FWRC, shall utilize vinyl -coated
mesh, powder -coated poles, dark color(s), and architectural element(s) such as pole caps and/
or decorative grid pattern.
• Type I landscaping 15 feet in width shall be provided along the eastern property line and Type I
landscaping 5 feet in width shall be provided along the northern and southern property lines within
the RTTO lot.
If the RTTO lot is going to be located on an unimproved area of the site, the underlying ground
must be improved as required by the departments of Public Works and Community Development.
• Public Works Development Services Division
• Surface water runoff control and water quality treatment will be required for the new paved surfaces,
and shall be per the 2016 Kind County Surface Dater De ign Manual (KCSVIDM) and City Addendum to
the manual. This project meets the requirements for a Full Drainage Review.
• The project lies within a conservation flow control area; thus, the applicant must design the flow
control facility to meet this performance criterion. In addition to flow control facilities, Best
Management Practices (BMPs) are required as outlined in the KCSWDM. The project also lies within
an Enhanced Basic Water Quality Area.
• Initial review suggests that FWRC 19.30.120, "Nonconforming Water Quality Improvements"
applies to this site. 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.

Land Use Issues — Stormwater
1. Surface water runoff control and water quality treatment will be required for the new paved surfaces, and
shall be per the 2096 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDNI) and City Addendum to the
manual. 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
18-104115-00-PC Doc ID: 78259
Mr. Matt Reider
Page 6 of 9
October 19, 2018
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 criterion. 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;
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;
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. The city will allow water quality treatment facilities that have achieved General Use Level Designation
(GULD) status under the Washington State Department of Ecology, and that meet the enhanced basic
treatment standard.
5. Detention and water quality facilities for private commercial developments outside the City Center -Core
must be above ground (i.e. open pond). Underground facilities are allowed only with approval from the
City of Federal Way Public Works Department. The applicant will have to make a written request to the
Public Works Director for this exception.
6. Show the proposed location and dimensions of the detention and water quality facilities on the
preliminary plans.
Engineering (EN) Permit Issues
1. Engineered plans are required for clearing, grading, parking area improvements, and utility work. Plans
must be reviewed and approved by the city. Engineering review fees are ,$2,303.00 for the first 18 hours
of review for commercial building permits, and ,$139.00 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. The Federal Way Public Works Development Standards Manual (including standard detail drawings, standard
notes, and engineering checklists) is available on the city's website to assist the applicant's engineer in
preparing the plans and TIR at http://www.cityoffederalway.com/index.aspx?nid=171.

October 19, 2018
3. Bonding is required for all 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 become 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 (TESC) 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.

RE: Pre -Application Conference Submittal
Proposed Registered Tow Truck Operator Lot
Dear Doc:
Job No. 2034-001-018
RECEIVED

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Please accept this cover letter and accompanying information as our submittal for a Pre -
Application conference with the City of Federal Way for a Zoning Change of Use Application
on the property located at 33216 Pacific Highway South.
The project includes King County tax parcels 797820-0015 and 797820-0010, which totals
approximately 1.35 acres of Community Business (BC) zoned property located in the Pacific
Highway Corridor just north of South 333rd Street.
Per the requirement of Washington State Patrol and Washington State Department of
Revenue, a Registered Tow Truck Operator (RTTO) is required to have local jurisdiction
approval that the RTTO lot is a permitted use. As such, Auto Mart, LLC is seeking a Zoning
Change of Use approval to develop a RTTO lot on the above referenced property as required
by Permit Center Staff.
The existing site is a vehicle sales lot with additional parking located in the rear 1 /3 (-21,525
SF) of the property. Auto Mart, LLC is seeking to continue vehicle sales on this property
while utilizing the rear 1 /3 of the property as a RTTO lot. Upgrades to the site include
installation of a security gate and security fencing around the perimeter. Existing buildings
will be used as vehicle sales office, towing office, and automotive repair.
We understand that Federal Way Revised Code 19.220.030 allows vehicle sales and tow
lots through a Process II land use review. The vehicle sales lot is an established use on the
property while the RTTO will be a new use for the property. At this time no other changes
are being proposed.
