Land Use Issues — or water
Surface water runoff control and water quality treatment will be required per the 2016 King County
Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and.Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC).
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 projecl
to the nine core and five special requirements of the KCSWDM will be required. A Level I
downstream analysis shall also be provided in the preliminary TIR. The City has I 100'. five-foot
contour planimetric maps 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:
I.b. 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 feei of surface area or more-,
I.F.Keaevei
impervious surface, when such redevelopment is not part of a routine maintenance activity;
Therefore, water quality treatment will be required for the entire site, including new and existing
[�jollution 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. Due to the project's location within the City Center Core, retention and water quality facilities may be
placed underground.
6. Show the proposed location and dimensions of the detention and water quality facilities on the
preliminary plans.

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 storrn 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

Transportation Concurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90)
Based on the submitted materials for 6,000 square feet of auto parts sales, the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation - 8t" Edition, land use code 843 (Auto Parts Sales), a pass -by rate of
43%, and a trip credit for the existing use, the proposed project is estimated to generate approximately 0
new weekday PM peak hour trips. Therefore, a concurrency permit is NOT required for this developmowj
project.
Transportation Impact Fees (TIF) (FWRC 19.91)
Based on the submitted materials for 6,000 square feet of Automobile Parts Sales and impact fee credit
for the existing use, the estimated traffic impact fee is Q.00. Please note, the actual impact fee will be
calculated based on the fee schedule in effect at the time a building permit application is filed and must be
paid prior to pen -nit issuance.
Street Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135)
1 , Per FWRC 19. 1' )-5.040, the applicant/owner would be expected to construct street improvements
consistent with the planned roadway cross -sections as shown in Appendix 111-A in Chapter III of the
Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) and the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) shown as
Table III- 10. Based on the materials submitted, staff conducted a limited analysis to deten-nine the
required street improvements. The applicant would be expected to construct improvements on the
following streets to the City's planned roadway cross -sections:
SR-99 is a Principal Arterial planned as a Type "A" street, consisting of a 90-foot street
with curb and gutter, six-foot planter strips with street trees, 8-foot sidewalks, and street
lights in a 124-foot right-of-way (ROW). Assuming a symmetrical cross section,
approximately 7-foot ROW dedication and half street improvements are required as
measured from the street centerline. However, since the functional cross-section is fully
c*nstructed. no further ROW dedication or frontage improvements are required along SR-

curb and gutter, 12-foot sidewalks with street trees and decorative streetlights (as measured
from the south face -of -curb) is required. A strip of land on the southern property line
approximately 5 feet wide by 45 feet long must be set aside as a "Tract V to accommodate
these improvements and to be dedicated to the City as ROW for the grid road at a future
date.

2. The applicant may make a written request to the Public Works Director to modify, defer, or waive the
required street improvements (FWRC 19. 1 ' ) 5.070). Information about right-of-way modification
requests is available through the Public Works Development Services Division. These modification
requests have a nominal review fee currently at $160.00 ($290.00 in 2017).
1. 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- 1 A in the Public Works Development Standards.
2. Public Works Traffic Division Policy requires a minimum driveway throat length of 40 feet (50 feet
preferred) as measured from the face of curb. The proposed SR 99 driveway does not meet this
requirement and should be modified.
3. 1TAC 468-52-040 limits access on state highways to access spacing of 250 feet with only one access
per parcel. Pacific Highway S is access class "I" where left access may be permitted every 330 feet
and left -out access is only permitted at signalized intersections (FWRC 19.135.280). The proposal
must be modified to meet this 250-foot spacing requirement. Due to current spacing of adjacent
driveways and access roads, the subject property should either use S 3 1 Sth PI to access SR 99 or
pursue a shared access driveway with the property to the north. In this instance, no access to SR 99
will be allowed while other access options exist.
Misc. Safety related Comments
The applicant must submit a Vehicle Turning Diagram to the Public Works Traffic Division. This
diagram will show how the appropriate design vehicle (such as: Delivery Truck, Garbage Truck, or WB-
62) can enter, maneuver, and leave the site without encroaching onto opposing traffic lanes or mounting a
curb.

Space Required and Enclosure Basics
* 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 (enclosed). Note that this typically makes up only about 1/3 of the
combined space needed for solid waste and recycling containers combined.
* In general, per unit services costs are lower for larger containers emptied less frequently. Sites that do
not allow ample space for containers will tend to have higher service costs over the long teri-n.
* Basic solid waste and recycling services can be accommodated within a single enclosure with clear
interior dimensions measuring 10deep by 20' across. A two -door swing -open or roll -open gate

Page I I
should span the front 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
both 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.
• Plan for user access to interior waste and recycling storage areas/containers, and convenient access to
exterior containers screened by enclosure(s).
Vehicle and Service Access
Plan for unobstructed enclosure ingress and egress for service vehicles, preferably in -line with enclosure
openings. Allow appropriate turning radii for service vehicles, and minimize potential 'blind spots' during
entry and while backing.
Screening Specification for Enclosures
Consider landscaping, setbacks and screening requirements, based on FWRC 19.125.040 (4) & (5)-
Large Scale Projects and On -Site Waste Compaction
0 Note that larger -scale commercial or multi -unit housing developments may see long-terrn savings
from the use of on -site waste compaction equipment. Planning elements for this equipment includes
larger enclosure dimensions, defined overhead clearances, power utility access, and drainage
management.
o For grocery stores, restaurants, or multi -family facilities, "Self -Contained" waste compactors
are preferred over "Stationary" or "Break Away" compactors. Compactors may need to be
covered and connected to the sanitary sewer, since compacted wet wastes can cause leakage
and surface water nuisances.
0 Mixed -use developments may also benefit from on -site waste compaction equipment. Additional
mixed -use development considerations include:
• Designated chutes and/or internal facility maintenance areas or services for tenant use,
• Movement of wastes and recycling items from interior units to collection areas, and
• Enabling access by business tenants and/or residents to exterior waste and recycling
enclosure(s).
Help with many design parameters related to service access is available via the City's contracted solid
waste services provider, Waste Management. Contact: Dian Young, Route Manager, at 253-804-6815

• the water distribution systern under high dernand conditions. If inore precise available fire flow
figures are required • desired, Applicant can request Lakehaven perform a system hydraulic model
analysis (separate frorn, or concurrent with, an application for Availability). Current/2016 (2017 in
parentheses) cost for a hydraulic model analysis is $200.00 ($210.00). Fire flow rates greater than
available in the existing distribution system inay be accommodated through water distribution system
improvements. Please contact Lakehaven for further detail.
The site has one (1) existing domestic water service connection (1" size meter, SVCNo4659).
A water service connection application submitted separately to Lakehaven is required for each new
service • to the water distribution system (e.g., irrigation • fire -protection), or any
modification to an existing water service connection (e.g., larger meter/service, abandonment of
existing service(s), re -activation, etc.), in accordance with standards defined in Lakehaven's current
'Fees and Charges Resolution'. Non -single-family properties require separate domestic (per

Proposal Descript'on
The project proposes to develop an approximate 6,000 square foot AutoZone store at
31660 Pacific Highway. The site is currently developed with a Shell Gas Station. The
project proposes to demolish the existing building and site features to accommodate the
proposed development.
In addition to the new building, there will be parking, landscaping, lighting, stormwater
and utility infrastructure improvements to serve the proposed use. Proposed signage
includes a free-standing pylon sign along the Highway 410 frontage. A Concept Site Plan
dated October 31, 2016 is attached to this application for reference.
1. What specific code approval criteria will be relevant to the proposal?
2. What will be required to modify the existing driveways on Pacific Highway? The
project proposes to remove two existing driveways and install a new driveway at
the approximate midpoint of the site frontage on Pacific Highway.
3. Request confirmation of Site Plan Review timeline?
4. Will SEPA be required? If so, can it be processed concurrently with Site Plan
Review?
5. What impact studies will be required with this development?
6. Request city comments regarding the concept site/building plans and compliance
with City commercial site design standards. Is the concept site plan acceptable to
city staff? We want to identify any potential site constraints that might trigger
significant modification to the concept site layout.
7. Request any available as -built plans regarding existing sanitary, water, and
stormwater systems. Confirmation of stormwater management requirements.
