RE: FILE #08-105508-00-UP; RESPONSE TO HEARING EXAMINER CLARIFICATION REQUEST
Lifeway Church, 157 SW 3561h Street, Federal Way
Dear Ms. Marta:
The Department of Community Development Services has received your request to clarify and revise
Condition 2c of the Hearing Examiner's Process IV decision regarding the Lifeway Church project. The
referenced Condition 2c was drafted by staff November 23, 2009, and written agreement from the
applicant of said condition was received November 30, 2009.1 The Hearing Examiner received the
agreement during the open record period following the public hearing and memorialized it as a condition
of approval.
The department does not have the authority to revise or modify conditions in the Hearing Examiner's
decision. Any revision and/or modification requests to the land use decision should be made to the
Hearing Examiner via the Federal Way City Clerk. The city reserves the right to review and provide
comments to the Hearing Examiner on any revision and/or modification to the decision.
The Process IV Hearing Examiner's decision appeal period will end at 5:00pm Monday, January 4, 2010.
Please forward any correspondence to the Hearing Examiner via Carol McNeilly, City Clerk. Ms.
McNeilly may be reached at 253-835-2540 and Carol. McNeilly@cityoffederalway.con-L If you have any
questions regarding this letter, please contact me at 253-835-2638 or matt.herrera@cityoffederalway.com.

RE: Lifeway Church HEX Condition Issues
Good Morning Matt,
1) For number one take a look at the HE rules (CD should have a copy otherwise ask Carol) and see what it says
about reconsideration. If the rules don't speak directly to reconsideration, if both parties are in agreement, I
think the HE would be open to revise the decision if requested. The closest language I could find that would
allow CD to administratively revise condition #3 is FWRC 19.15.110 (lapse of approval - time extension), but
this language is not directly on point.
2) I agree that condition #3 is problematic for the reason you have identified. There could be an argument for
keeping the condition as it was agreed to by the Applicant, however, I think it would be difficult to enforce.
How has the City interpreted the "substantially complete" language in FWRC 19.15.100(2)? A similar vesting
issue would arise in that section since an approval would be void if construction is not substantially complete
within 5 years.
An unexpected death in my family occurred on Sunday so I won't be in the office this week. I will be checking
e-mail and somewhat available by phone 206-458-1754 if needed. One option to consider is to offer the
Applicant an extension to the appeal deadline to see if we can work something out. If a request for
reconsideration is made to the HE we should get this extension anyway as the appeal deadline may pass before
the HE responds.

Subject: Lifeway Church HEX Condition Issues
Peter,
Hope you had a good holiday. While you were out, the Lifeway Church HEX decision was issued and the applicant's agent
believes one of the conditions was incorrect. They are hoping for some kind of administrative fix before the appeal
period is over (Jan 1) or they are likely to appeal. I have attempted to condense the applicable items, but still ended up
with a long winded email, my apologies. Here's what I know:
Lifeway Church's agent Abbey Road Group has an issue with one of the conditions attached to their Process IV approval
granted Dec 18. During the Nov. 5 public hearing, they had decided to split their project into two phases. Phase I would
include the site development (roads, infrastructure, and impervious surfaces) and Phase II would include the
construction of the building. They had requested site development within 5 years of the land use decision and building
construction within 7 years of the land use decision.
During the open record period following the hearing, the Public Works Department agreed to the phasing plan with the
following three paraphrased conditions:
(1) If building permits for either phasf_ ..,eve not been issued within 5 years of the Ia.,d use decision, the applicant shall
undergo concurrency analysis and construct whatever mitigation measures necessary to obtain LOS;
(2) If building permits for either phase have not been issued within 5 years of the decision, the applicant shall pay
applicable concurrency fees in effect at the time of the building permit issuance; and
(3) If either phase is not fully constructed within 5 years of the decision, the applicant shall design a storm drainage
system to conform to standards adopted at the time the building permit was submitted.
These three conditions were agreed to by Abbey Road, in writing, prior to the Hearing Examiner's decision. When
making his decision, the Hearing Examiner used the language drafted by the city and agreed to by the applicant to
condition the Process IV decision. Following the issuance of the decision, Abbey Road Group took issue with the above -
referenced condition #3.
Abbey Road would like condition #3 to be revised to reflect Phase I completion within 5 years of the decision and Phase
II completion within 7 years of the decision. After speaking with Ken Miller, Public Works would allow condition #3 to be
analogous with conditions 1 and 2 which allow the seven year vesting if building permits are submitted within five years
following the decision. In effect, they would need to get building permits submitted within 5 years of the decision, or
they would be subject to whatever storm drainage standards the city has adopted at the time of building permit
submittal.
So after all of that, a couple of lingering legal questions have delayed our response thus far, and they are:
(1) FWRC does not allow reconsiderations to the decision, are we able to administratively revise any part of the of the
Hearing Examiner's decision?
(2) Does the original condition #3 have merit? A scenario that came up was what if they got their building permits
submitted within the five year decision period but were not finished with their project? Our understanding was if you
had a complete building permit submitted and the permit remained current during construction, the applicant would be
vested to codes in effect at the time of submittal. If that is the case, that would seem to contradict condition #3.
Let me know what you think. I'll be drafting a response on Tuesday 12/29 and out of the office beginning Wed, 12/30.
Thanks,
-Matt

RE: Lifeway Church Clarification Request to Hearing Examiner Decision Dated December 18, 2009,
Application No. 08-105508-00-UP; ARG Job No. 04-118
Dear Matthew,
Per our telephone conversation, we would like to clarify and revise Condition 20. of the Hearing
Examiner's Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision for Lifeway Church. Please review the
following:
Condition 2c. If phase 1-A and 1-13 project is not fully constructed within five years of the date of the
decision, then the applicant shall design the storm drainage system to conform to those
drainage design requirements and standards adopted by the city on the date that the
building permit application(s) for the phase 1-A or 1-B project is determined to be complete.
RESPONSE: We are in agreement that Phase 1A — Site Development Construction is
required to be completed within five years from December 18, 2009, and that this site
construction vests the project to original storm drainage requirements. However, Phase 18
-- Building Construction is anticipated to be constructed within five to seven years (from
December 18, 2009) as outlined in Condition 2 of the Hearing Examiner's decision —
'Phase 1 may be completed in two subset phases (A -Site Development const & B-Building
Const) during a seven (7) year period".
We request that Condition 2c be revised (or a letter of clarification from the City of Federal
Way stating the same) to reflect the above mentioned seven year phasing for Phase 1A to
be completed within five years of the Hearing Examiner's decision and Phase 1B to be
completed within five to seven years of the Hearing Examiner's decision.
Please review this clarification request in preparation of final Process IV approval for the Lifeway Church.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at (253) 435-3699, extension

Application No. 08-105508-00-UP; ARG Job No. 04-118
Dear Matthew,
In response to your letter dated November 23, 2009, we would like to present our comments to your
responses. Please review the following:
1. Review Process for Future Proposals — Phase II will require separate land use permitting and
environmental review. Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.15.030 provides guidance in
determining which land use permit shall apply to improvements and additions to developed sites.
If the applicant were to apply for Phase II approval at a later date, codes in effect on that date
would be applicable.
RESPONSE: The applicant would like to request that the Hearing Examiner stipulate that, in
addition to the above requirements, Phase 2 be reviewed under a Process 1 or 2 application
since the overall project has undergone review via a Process IV application.
2. Vestinq: As mentioned during the public hearing, Phase I was vested December 4, 2008, the
date of complete Process IV Master Land Use application. The 4,028 square -foot Phase 11
addition was disclosed by the applicant as a future phase 10-15 years following completion of the
initial phase with no other analysis provided. Staff requested further analysis from the applicant
in the above -referenced technical comment letter. Due to the applicant's non -response to the
request, staff determined Phase II was only a disclosure of possible future development and
outside the scope of review. Therefore, Phase II is not vested to current codes and policies.
RESPONSE: Since Phase 2 is proposed so far out we understand that it will need to be
reviewed under a separate permit application. However, the applicant would like to request that
the Hearing Examiner require that Phase 2 be reviewed under a Process 1 or 2 application since
the overall project has undergone review via a Process IV application.
•
3. Phasinq: Staff would support the seven year phasing with the following conditions:
a. If any building permits for the Lifeway Church Phase 1A and Phase 113 project have not
been issued , within five years of the date of the decision, the applicant shall fund
preparation of a new concurrency analysis. This analysis must demonstrate that
adequate capacity for the un-built portions of the project still exists for the remainder of
the project. In the event that there is not adequate capacity, the applicant shall be
required to construct whatever mitigation measures are necessary to obtain Level of
Service (LOS) E at any failing intersection.
RESPONSE: The applicant agrees to this condition. RESUBMITTED

been issued within five years of the date of the decision, the applicant shall make
payment of applicable transportation fees/concurrency fees that are in effect at the
subsequent building permit issuance.
RESPONSE: The applicant agrees to this condition.
c. If the Lifeway Church Phase 1A and Phase 1B project is not fully constructed within five
years of the date of the decision, then the applicant shall design the storm drainage
system to conform to those drainage design requirements and standards adopted by the
city on the date that the permit application(s) for the Phase 1A or Phase 1B project is
determined to be complete.
RESPONSE: The applicant agrees to this condition if the `permit application(s) for the
Phase 1 A or Phase 1 B project" is considered Building Permit(s).

RE: FILE #08-105508-00-UP; RESPONSE TO CLARIFICATION REQUEST
Lifeway Church, 157 SW 350 Street, Federal Way
Dear Ms. Marta:
The city has reviewed your clarification request regarding phasing and vesting items brought to the
attention of staff and the Hearing Examiner during the public hearing held November 5, 2009. Prior to
rendering a Process IV land use decision, the city's Hearing Examiner pro tern allowed the applicant to
submit a request to the city clarifying several items in the October 27, 2009, staff report. In the interest of
clarity, staff has paraphrased each of the applicant's items (italicized) and provided a response.
The 4,028 sf. addition to the main church building has been included as a component of the original
Master Land Use application, Design Decision, and Environmental Threshold Decision. Per
condition #3 of the staff report, "[t]he applicant shall obtain separate land use and building permits
for Phase II improvements due to its conceptual nature and length of time until construction. "
However, it was processed through all of the active land use permits for the overall project and will
coincide with the ultimate project.
If it is the city's contention that Phase H is not a component of the current Process IV decision, the
applicant proposes the future addition be reviewed via a Process I Master Land Use application as
the director's Design Decision and Environmental Threshold Determination has been completed for
Phase IT
Although the Phase II 4,028 s.f building footprint addition' is shown on the site plan, no further
information or analysis of the second phase was provided by the applicant. Staff only reviewed the
proposed 21,705 square -foot church and associated improvements otherwise known as Phase I. On
January 15, 2009, staff requested the applicant submit additional materials that included analysis of
the 4,028 square -foot addition (Exhibit A), but no such submittal was provided. The applicant's
traffic consultant, stormwater engineer, and architect provided no analysis other than the 21,705
square -foot Phase I. Staff drew the reasonable conclusion that the 4,028 square -foot addition was
depicted as a component of the master site plan for conceptual purposes only. The following
excerpts from submitted technical reports support this conclusion.
1 The applicant's architect provided no elevation drawings of the proposed Phase II addition. Architectural renderings were
submitted for the 21,705 square -foot building only.

Technical Reports — The following information is from technical reports submitted by the applicant
and enclosed with this correspondence as Exhibits B through E:
a. Transportation Management Plan prepared by Heath & Associates resubmitted July 16, 2009,
and included as Exhibit B:
• Page 3 — "This report summarizes anticipated traffic impacts related to the Lifeway
Church. The proposed project is a 21,705 square -foot church."
Page 3 — `Buildout of the project is expected by 2010."
Page 6 — "Any additional development of the church site would be undertaken under
additional permits if future phases are pursued."
b. Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Heath & Associates (Exhibit C) resubmitted July 16, 2009:
Page 3 — "This report summarizes anticipated traffic impacts related to the Lifeway
Church. The proposed project is a 21,705 square -foot church."
C. Preliminary Technical Information Report prepared by ESM Consulting Engineers (Exhibit D)
submitted November 14, 2008:
Drainage Summary — The area for future Phase II was analyzed as a "Landscape Area" not
impervious surface. As such, the stormwater facility was not designed for the proposed
Phase II additional impervious area.
d. Project Narrative prepared by Abbey Road Group submitted November 14, 2008 (Exhibit E).
Page 1 — "The applicant is proposing to construct of [sic] an approximately 21,705 sf, 2-
story Church/Sanctuary Building on the newly proposed Lot `1' of the BLA application
submittal under review."
SEPA — The city's Responsible Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) using, in
part, the environmental checklist and technical reports provided by the applicant. The environmental
checklist disclosed Phase II "is anticipated to begin within 10-15 years depending on church growth"
(page 2 Exhibit F), but provided no technical analysis of Phase II. As technical analysis of the Phase
II addition was not provided in the checklist or submitted reports, environmental review of the
second phase was not completed. Phase H will be subject to its own environmental threshold
determination.
Design Decision — The director issued an administrative design decision (Exhibit G) on July 28,
2009.
a. The decision states: "Phase II is a 4,028 square -foot planned expansion on the east portion of
the church building and is expected to proceed 10-15 years following construction of phase
one. As the applicant has -not provided elevation drawings for the Phase II expansion, future
proposals relating to Phase II shall undergo separate analysis."

Ms. Marta
November 23, 2009
Page 3
b. The Statement of Facts presented to the director states: "The applicant has not provided
elevation drawings for the Phase II expansion; therefore, future proposals relating to Phase II
shall undergo separate analysis."
C. The approved site plan states: "Design Decision Only."
Review Process for Future Proposals — Phase II will require separate land use permitting and
environmental review. Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.15.030 provides guidance in
deterliul}ill_, which land use permit shall apply to improvements and additions to developed sites. If
the applicant were to apply for Phase H approval at a later date, codes in effect on that date would be
applicable.
2. The applicant would like confirmation regarding the vesting of Phase I and Phase II to the current
development codes.
As mentioned during the public hearing, Phase I was vested December 4, 2008, the date of complete
Process IV Master Land Use application. The 4,028 square -foot Phase H addition was disclosed by
the applicant as a future phase 10-15 years following completion of the initial phase with no other
analysis provided. Staff requested further analysis from the applicant in the above -referenced
technical comment letter. Due to the applicant's non -response to the request, staff determined Phase
II was only a disclosure of possible future development and outside the scope of review. Therefore,
Phase II is not vested to current codes and policies.
The applicant would like a staff recommendation regarding the proposed phased construction
timeline brought forward during the November 5, 2009, public hearing.
As mentioned above, the 4,028 square -foot Phase II addition was not analyzed in conjunction with
the Process IV Master Land Use application and will require its own separate permitting and
environmental review. Therefore, Phase H is not included in this recommendation.
The applicant has proposed to construct Phase I in two phases spanning seven years. Phase IA
would encompass site development and is anticipated for completion within three to five years.
Phase 1B would include building construction and is anticipated for completion within five to seven
years.
Staff would support the seven year phasing with the following conditions:
a. If any building permits for the Lifeway Church Phase lA and Phase 1B project have not been
issued within five years of the date of the decision, the applicant shall fund preparation of a new
concurrency analysis. This analysis must demonstrate that adequate capacity for the un-built
portions of the project still exists for the remainder of the project. In the event that there is not
adequate capacity, the applicant shall be required to construct whatever mitigation measures are
necessary to obtain Level of Service (LOS) E at any failing intersection.
b. If any building permits for the Lifeway Church Phase 1A and Phase 1B project have not been
issued within five years of the date of the decision, the applicant shall make payment of
applicable transportation fees/concurrency fees that are in effect at the subsequent building
permit issuance.

RE: Lifeway Church Clarification Request to Staff Report Dated October 27, 2009, Application No. 08-
105508-00-UP; ARG Job No. 04-118
Dear Matthew,
As a follow up to the Public Hearing held on November 5, 2009, we would like to clarify and resolve three
issues on the Lifeway Church project. Please review the following:
1. Phase 2 Approval/Process: Phase 2, a 4,028 square foot addition to the main Church building,
has been included as part of the original application (see attached exhibits - Master Land Use
Application, Site Plan, Composite Utility Plan, and TIR Project Overview). The proposed addition
was also included and approved as part of the Director's Design Decision (July 28, 2009) as well
as the Environmental Threshold Decision (August 1, 2009).
Per Condition 3 of the Staff Report (October 27, 2009), the applicant is required to obtain
separate land use permits for Phase 2 due to the length of time until construction. The Phase 2
addition is proposed at a later date for the purpose of future Church expansion. Since it is
unknown as to how fast this growth will occur or what the needs of the Church will be at that time,
this Phase was presented as a future phase. However, it was processed through all of the active
land use permits for the overall project and will coincide with the ultimate project.
If Phase 2 is not vested at this time, we would like to propose that the future building addition be
reviewed through a Process 1 application (per Federal Way Municipal Code 19.15.030 (1)), prior
to Building Permit submittal, for traffic and design review only, and that since the Director's
Design Decision included Phase 2, that no additional SEPA or engineering be required.
2. Vesting: Due to the confusion of what aspects are vested for this project, we would like to clarify
the vesting for the overall project. As stated at the Public Hearing, the subject project is
applicable to the new vesting process outlined in Ordinance #09-625. Per this Ordinance, the
project was vested at Complete Application, which was December 4, 2008. We would like to
confirm that the overall project, including Phase 2, is vested to current land use codes in effect as
of December 4, 2008 as well as the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual.
Phasing: Because this project is proposed in two phases, we would like to propose a
construction schedule to be included as part of the Process IV approval. The Federal Way
Municipal Code 19.15.100 (2) states that "If the development activity, use of land, or other action
approved under this chapter includes phased construction, the time limits of this section may be
extended in the decision on the application, to allow for completion of subsequent phases." We
feel that since the overall project was covered in the SEPA and Master Land Use Application, and
per the above mentioned Code, that the following phasing should be allowed.

The proposed Construction Phasing is as follows:
Phase 1A — Site Development Construction is anticipated to be completed within three to five
years of the Process IV approval.
Phase 1B — Building Construction is anticipated to be completed within five to seven years of the
Project IV approval.
Phase 2 is anticipated to be completed within seven to ten years of the Process IV approval.
The above schedule is based off current economic conditions and could vary slightly dependent
on multiple factors.

SECTION I
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Lifeway Church project is located at the southwest corner of lst Avenue SW, and SW 356th
Street. North side of the property abuts SW 356th St and across the street there is a senior
citizens complex, to the east across 1st Ave. SW there is single family residential subdivisions, to
the south abuts the single family homes and the Illahee Middle School complex and to the west
sides abuts a proposed single family residential development. The project is in Section 30,
Township 21 North; Range 4 East.
The project contains around 8.85 acres. The. site has two residential homes, garages and a few
outbuildings, all to be removed. The site is currently covered with trees and heavy underbrush.
The property generally. slopes in a south or easterly direction, with slopes mostly under 15
percent. There appears to be one small area where slopes are above 15 percent. The access to the
site will come from 1st Ave. SW. and from the future 2" d Ave.
The proposal is to develop a local church complex for a congregation which has outgrown its
current location. The church plans to develop the project over several phases. The main
infrastructure systems, sewer, water and storm will be built in their entirety under phase I. The
sanitary sewer and water will come from Lakehaven Utility District. The sewer system will be a
low pressure system utilizing a grinder pump system which will connect to a main pressure line
running through the proposed new residential subdivision discharging into a new gravity
. manhole near the northeast corner of SW 356th St. and 3rd Ave. SW. Water will come from a
main line in 1st Ave. SW which will loop west around the building and then back to 1st Ave. SW.
It will not connect to the water system in the proposed new residential subdivision because they
will be in different pressure zones.
The site is located within Federal Way's "Hylebos Creek" drainage basin. The site is situated in
one sub -basin which generally flows towards I" Ave. SW and on to the Hylebos Creek. There is
a new conveyance system under lst Ave. SW which consist of a 12" pipe system starting at a
catch basin on the west side of 1st Ave. SW going east under this street to the other side to
another catch basin. It continues south along the east side of the road about 130 feet to another
catch basin where it turns east and discharges to an open field. This field appears to have -some
-wetland areas within it along with an open pond.
This site is within the City of Federal Way which uses the-1998 King County Surface Water
Design Manual (KCSWDM) which allows continuous rainfall/runoff modeling for the
stormwater system design. A water quality facility will be part of the detention ponds creating a
combined detention/wetpool facility also using the requirements set forth in the 1998 King
County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM). This site is .in. the City of Federal Way's
Basic Water Quality Area and the Level 1 Flow Control Area.

Exhibit A
Statement of Facts
Federal Way Revised Code Chapter 19.115 `Community Design Guidelines'
Lifeway Church, File 08-105508-UP
The Planning Division hereby presents the following statement of facts to the Director of Community
Development pursuant to content requirements of the Community Design Guidelines decision as set forth
in Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.65.100(4).
1. Proposal — The applicant, Rick Budd of Nehemiah Group, has proposed a two -phased church
development on three single-family zoned parcels approximately 13.83 acres in size. Phase I consists
of a two-story, 21,205 square -foot church building with parking, landscaping, road and stormwater
improvements. Phase II is a planned expansion of a 4,028 square -foot footprint on the east portion of
the church building and is expected to proceed 10-15 years following construction of phase one. The
applicant has not provided elevation drawings for the Phase II expansion, therefore, future proposals
relating to Phase 1I shall undergo separate analysis.
Requested Decision — The applicant submitted a Process IV Hearing Examiner Master Land Use
(MLU) application November 14, 2008. Prior to the Hearing Examiner's Process IV decision, the
Director of Community Development Services shall issue a design decision pursuant to FWRC
19.65.100(b)(ii).
3. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) — The applicant submitted a
CPTED checklist as a component of the Process IV MLU application. Staff finds the applicant has
met the intent of CPTED and provides measures that include, but are not limited to: natural
surveillance; site and building layout; landscaping; lighting; and entrance visibility.
4. Site Design — Pursuant to FWRC 19.155.050, project designers shall strive for overall design
continuity by using similar elements throughout the project and addressing the following items: (a)
pedestrian areas, amenities, and circulation; (b) surface parking lot; (c) garbage and recycling
receptacles, placement, and screening; and (d) lighting. Staff finds the applicant has met the intent of
the chapter's site design standards and analysis of each item with recommended conditions is
provided below:
a. Pedestrian areas, amenities and circulation — The proposed improvements provide outdoor
seating located on the east side of the church building and additional seating/gathering on the
north elevation consisting of an at -grade patio and elevated balcony. An expansive 4,828
square -foot pedestrian plaza is proposed along the north elevation. The plaza will provide three
direct connections to the South 356ffi Street right-of-way and also join two additional pedestrian
pathways leading to the southern entrance and vehicle parking areas. All pathways are clearly
delineated and ornamental landscaping will line the pedestrian plaza and pedestrian
connections. A bicycle rack is provided on the north elevation, adjacent to the pedestrian plaza,
to promote alternative transportation modes during informal church gatherings.
b. Surface parking lot— Access to the parking area will be provided via private 30-foot-wide
driveway located on the south side of the church building. The driveway is clearly visible from
adjacent rights -of -way and will span approximately 600 feet between 1' Avenue South and 2nd
Avenue SW. Loop access and designated drop-off area is provided inside the parking area.
Pedestrian pathways within the parking area will be clearly delineated using textured concrete.
Internal lot landscaping will be provided within islands and bulb -outs at a ratio of 22 square
feet per stall. Type I perimeter landscaping will be provided along the north, east, and west
portions of the parking lot to screen the parking area from adjacent residential zones.
As a condition of approval, the applicant shall provide directional arrows within the
parking lot area pursuant to FWRC 19.115.050(2)(b).
C. Garbage and recycling receptacles —The garbage and recycling enclosure materials will consist
of an 18-foot-wide sight obscuring fence with keystone or CMU walls. Tree, shrubs, and
groundcover will abut the enclosure wall to provide further screening.
d. Lighting — Pedestrian areas surrounding the church building will be illuminated via 12 wall
mounted, 150 watt lighting fixtures. Lighting standards within the parking area consist of 11
dual and single sided recessed (i.e. cutoff shield) Lithonia KAD 250 watt fixtures with 20-foot
poles. The steps of the pedestrian plaza will contain two bollard style lighting fixtures 42 inches
in height.
As a condition of approval, the applicant shall provide additional lighting near the
garbage enclosure area pursuant to FWRC 19.115.050(7)(ii).
Building Design — As the proposed improvements will contain facades longer than 60 feet that will
be visible from a right-of-way, the building is subject to fagade treatment and articulation
requirements pursuant to FWRC 19.115.060(2). Further, the project is subject to a significant
structural modulation pursuant to FWRC 19.115.100(3) as the north and south facades exceed 120
feet. Staff finds the applicant has met the intent of the chapter's building design standards and
analysis of each item is provided below:
a. FaVade modulation and screening options —The applicant has utilized all four modulation and
screening options on various elevations. FWRC 19.115.060(2) allows flexibility when applying
dimensional standards of the four options if more than the minimum are incorporated. Staff
provides analysis for each elevation.
i. North Elevation — (1) Four modulations meeting minimum depth and width have
been provided; (2) ornamental landscaping ranging in widths of 9-12 feet will be
planted along the north fagade; (3) a canopy measuring 21 feet in depth and 45
feet in width is incorporated into the north entrance; and (4) a 4,828 square -foot
pedestrian plaza is provided between the building and South 356`h Street. The
plaza exceeds the one percent gross floor area minimum and is easily
visible/accessible from the right-of-way. All four options have been incorporated.
ii. East Elevation — (1) One modulation six feet in depth and 42 feet in length has
been provided; and (2) a Type II landscaping screen along the base of the east
fagade. Two of the four options have been incorporated.
Statement of Facts Page 2
Lifeway Church File 08-105508-UP/Doc. i.D 50827
iii. South Elevation — (1) Four modulations meeting minimum depth and width have
been provided; (2) ornamental landscaping ranging in widths of 7-19 feet will be
planted along the south facade; and (3) a canopy measuring 23 feet in depth and
48 feet in width is incorporated into the south entrance. Three of the four options
have been incorporated.
iv. West Elevation — (1) A Type H landscaping screen at least eight feet in width will
be planted along the west facade; and (2) a canopy along the entire west facade
will be incorporated. Two of the four options have been incorporated.
b. Building articulation and scale — The project architect has provided exterior materials that
include areas of stone wainscot, board and batten vertical siding, horizontal lapped siding,
visible window trim, exposed heavy timber and large expanses of glazing. Multiple building
setbacks, canopies, material variations, ornamental landscaping and multiple opportunities for
outdoor giahering assist in providing a pedestrian scale to a building with two relatively long
facades.
c. Significant Structural Modulation — As the north and south facades are 181 feet in length and
visible from rights -of -way, a significant structural modulation is required for each facade. The
minimum depth of the modulation is 10 percent of the total facade length (18 feet) and a
minimum width of that is twice the size of the minimum depth (36 feet). The modulation on the
north facade will measure 21 feet in depth and 45 feet in width. The modulation on the south
facade will measure 23 feet in depth and 48 feet in width.
6. Building and Pedestrian Orientation — One of the building's two entrances will face the South
356`' Street right-of-way. The entrance will provide substantial articulation and glazing, which will
allow visual access from the street. Although the pedestrian plaza is not proposed on the street
corner as recommended by code, it's overall expansiveness and proximity to the adjacent right-of-
way provides superior opportunities for access and use. Staff finds the applicant has met the intent of
building and pedestrian orientation pursuant to 19.115.070.
7. Institutional Uses — Pursuant to FWRC 19.115.100, institutional uses are required to implement
specific district guidelines. The applicable guidelines are FWRC 19.115.090(1)(a), (b), (e), (f), (g),
(i), 0). Staff finds the applicant has met the intent of specific district guidelines and provides
italicized analysis following each provision:
a. Surface parking may be located behind the building, to the side(s) of the building, or adjacent to
the right-of-way; provided, however, that parking located adjacent to the right-of-way
maximizes pedestrian access and circulation pursuant to FWRC 19.115.050(4).
Vehicle parking is located on both sides of the building, behind the building and
adjacent to South 35e Street, I' Avenue South, and 2"d Avenue SW rights -of -way.
Pedestrian access/circulation is provided via two six -foot -wide pathways adjacent to
South 35e Street that direct pedestrians to the buildings north and south entrances.
Along I' Avenue South and 2nd Avenue SW, sidewalks lead to internal pedestrian
pathways adjacent to the parking area. Within the parking lot and along vehicle
ingresslegress points, delineated pedestrian paths are provided via textured concrete.
b. Entrance facades shall front on, face, or be clearly recognizable from the right-of-way; and
shall incorporate windows and other methods of articulation.
Statement of Facts Page 3
Lifeway Church File 08-105508-UP/Doc I D.50827
The north entrance fagade fronts South 356, h Street and the south entrance fagade is
clearly recognizable from I" Avenue and 2"d Avenue rights -of -way. The two entrances
have incorporated expansive glazing with visible trim, exposed timber supported
canopies, and stone wainscoting.
e. Ground -level mirrored or reflective glass is not allowed adjacent to a public right-of-way or
pedestrian area.
Applicant does notpropose ground -level mirrored or reflective glass.
f. 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.
Applicant does not propose chain -link fencing.
g. All significant trees within a 20-foot perimeter strip around the site shall be retained and/or
replaced within the applicable required landscape buffer.
Two significant trees will be removed within the 20 foot perimeter. One significant tree
will be removed along the South 356'4 Street frontage and one significant tree will be
removed along the 2"d Avenue SW frontage. Both trees will be replaced within each
perimeter landscape buffer.
i. Parking lots should be broken up into rows containing no more than 10 adjacent stalls, separated
by planting areas.
As shown on the site plan, rows contain 10 or less stalls per row within the parking lot.
All rows are separated by interior lot landscaping provided within islands or bulb -outs.
j. Pedestrian walkways (minimum six feet wide) shall be provided between the interior of the
project and the public sidewalk.
Two six -foot -wide pedestrian walkways and one 28 foot -wide pedestrian plaza provides
connections from the South 356`4 Street right-of-way and the interior of the project.
Decisional Criteria — The proposal is consistent with applicable Community Design Guideline
decision criteria set forth in FWRC 19.65.100. As shown in analysis above, the proposal is
consistent with site design standards set forth for institutional uses in FWRC 19.15.100.
Final construction drawings will be reviewed for compliance with specific regulations, conditions of
approval, and other applicable city requirements following an affirmative Process IV Hearing Examiner
decision. These findings shall not waive compliance with future City of Federal Way codes, policies, and
standards relating to this development.

RE: File #08-105508-00-UP; TECHNICAL COMMENT LETTER #2
Lifeway Church, 157 SW 354P Street, Federal Way
Dear Ms. Napier:
The city is in receipt of your May 29, 2009, resubmittal of plans and information regarding the Lifeway
Church Process IV Master Land Use application and corresponding State Environmental Policy Act
checklist. Proposed site development includes a new 21,705 square-f6ot, two-story church/sanctuary
building, stormwater detention pond, parking accommodations, landscaping, and road improvements. The
application was deemed complete December 4, 2008; notice of application was given December 10, 2008;
and a technical comment letter was mailed on January 15, 2009.
TECHNICAL COMMENTS/REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If you have questions about an individual comment, please contact the appropriate department
representative noted below.
Matthew Herrera, Planning, 253-835-2638, matt.herrera@cityoffederalway.com
Prior to issuing the administrative Community Design Guidelines decision and scheduling a public
hearing, the following issues must be addressed_
1. Pedestrian Area Lighting — As mentioned in the January 15, 2009, technical comment letter, no
pedestrian area lighting is shown on the site plan or lighting plan. Please show areas of pedestrian
lighting on the site plan and/or lighting plain
2. Lighting Details — Parking lot lighting details do not confirm pole height. Please confirm on the
details that lighting does not exceed 30-foot maximum.
3. Garbage and Recycling Enclosure —The current placement of the enclosure within the 30-foot
sideyard setback is not permitted. Please relocate the enclosure and verify it meets_ dimensional
requirements as regulated by Federal Way Revised Code {FWRC} 19.125.150(7)(4).
4. Vehicle Barrier — As mentioned in the January 15, 2009, technical comment letter, a vehicle
access barrier in the northern end of the plaza area was requested. Although the callouts on the
site plan indicate the four, two -foot diameter appurtenances are "planters/vehicle barriers" they
are located on the extreme ends of the plaza entrance and do not provide a barrier separating
pedestrians from the SW 356'h right-of-way. Further, it appears the barriers are bollards and not
1\4,. Napier '
Hutt W. 200$� t
Page 2
planters. Please add a vehicle access barrier on the northern end of the plaza. Staff suggests
boulders or raised planters, which will provide a safety barrier and streetscape element.
5. Height — It remains unclear the actual height of the structure using the city's Average Building
Elevation (ABE) height calculation. The resubmitted elevation drawings did not address this
issue. Please be advised that maximum height standards for church uses in RS zones is 30 feet
ABE with the opportunity for height extensions if criteria listed in FWRC 19.200.050 are met.
Please submit elevation drawings with hei t measurements using the ABE calculation.
6. Modulation and Screening — FWRC 19.115.060 requires all facades visible from right-of-way
and residential zones implement at least two of the four options listed. The north and south
elevations meet these requirements as the north elevation has incorporated all four and the south
elevation has incorporated three. The east elevation and west elevation do not meet the facade
requirements due to the following:
a. West Elevation — Only one (landscaping) of the four options meets the requirement. The two
canopies do not meet the 50 percent length requirement. Staff suggests adding modulation(s)
on the west elevation. FWRC 19.115.060 allows flexibility with dimensional standards of the
modulation and screening requirement if more than two options are incorporated.
b. East Elevation — Only one (modulation) of the four options meets the requirement. Staff
suggests adding an eight -foot -wide Type II landscaping strip to meet the modulation and
screening requirement.
Please add modulation and screening that meet FWRC 19.115.060 standards.
7. Architect's Stamp —The submitted site plans are stamped by a land surveyor. FWRC 19.15.040
requires site plans to be prepared by a Washington State certified architect or engineer. Please
resubmit site plans with a valid architect or engineer stamp.

RE: FILE #08-105508-00-UP; SURFACE WATER DESIGN MANUAL VESTING
Lifeway Church, 157 SW 356A Street, Federal Way
Dear Ms. Napier:
Please accept this correspondence as a formal follow-up to ongoing email and phone conversations that
have transpired beginning in March 2009 with regard to vesting to the city's stormwater standards. The
city's Letter of Complete Application dated December 4, 2008, incorrectly asserted that "[t]he Process IV
application is vested to the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the City of
Federal Way Addendum to the 1998 KCSWDM." As of today, land use applications vest at the time of
decision and not complete application. I have enclosed a bulletin drafted by the Development Services
Division of the city's Public Works Department that details their new surface water manual adoption.
If you have any questions regarding the new 2009 KCSWDM adoption, please contact Ann Dower at
253-835-2732. Any questions regarding your development application can be directed to me at 253-835-

II. REQUESTED DECISION & PROJECT PROPOSAL
The applicant is requesting a Process IV "Hearing Examiner" decision pursuant to Chapter 19.70 of
the Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC). Applicants proposing church developments within single-
family residential zoned neighborhoods shall submit a Process IV Master Land Use (MLU)
application pursuant to FWRC 19.200.050. In addition, the applicant is required to obtain master
plan approval as a component of the Process IV decision as the subject property is greater than five
acres.
As shown on site plans (Exhibit B), project applicant proposes to construct a two-story, 21,705
square -foot church/sanctuary building at 157 SW 356' Street. Additional proposed site
improvements concurrent with building construction include clearing and grading to accommodate:
(1) new stormwater conveyance, treatment and detention facility; (2) parking lot area with
designated drop-off zone, capacity to provide parking for 202 vehicles, lighting and fenced
garbage/recycling enclosure; (3) 30-foot-wide private driveway between I" Avenue South and 2nd
Avenue South; (4) perimeter and parking lot landscaping, and (5) half -street right-of-way
improvements along I` Avenue South and 2nd Avenue South.
The submitted site plan also includes a 4,028 square -foot building pad on the east portion of the
building for future phase two construction. Applicant has stated the additional phase is anticipated
10-15 years following the initial construction. No additional phase two details or elevation
drawings were submitted with this Process IV MLU application.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed improvements exceed State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) flexible thresholds
adopted by the city, specifically FWRC 14.50.030(1)(c) "For office, commercial, recreational,
service or storage buildings up to 4,000 square feet gross floor area, and up to 20 parking spaces."
Therefore, an environmental threshold determination is required prior to any land use decision or
building permit.
Staff Report to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner Page 2
Lifeway Church Process rV `Hearing Examiner's Decision' File No. 08-105508-00-UP/Doc.ID 51067
a) Determination of Nonsigncance — Following staff review of the environmental checklist, the
city's Responsible Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) for the proposal
August 1, 2009 (Exhibit Q. Agencies with jurisdiction were notified of the determination and
public notice was provided via procedures within the city's environmental policy. No
comments or appeals were received regarding the environmental determination.
b) Wetland — As shown on the city's critical areas map (Exhibit D), a Category III wetland is
believed to be located on the southern portion of the subject property. A wetland
reconnaissance was performed by Sewell Wetland Consulting, Inc. on March 26, 2008 (Exhibit
E), and according to their findings, no jurisdictional wetlands were found on the subject
property. This conclusion was made using methodologies contained in the 1997 Washington
State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual. The city's wetland consultant, ESA
Ado `son, concurred with the applicant's report that no jurisdictional wetlands are on the subject
property (Exhibit F) and no buffers or mitigation is required.
c) Archeological Assessment — D-uring the preapplication stage of development, staff suggested
the applicant retain the services of an archeologist to perform an assessment of the subject
property prior to submitting a formal application. In recent years, the Puyallup and
Muckleshoot tribes have commented on several threshold determinations. By providing
archeological studies with the environmental checklist, answers relating to historic and cultural
preservation would be based on onsite professional evaluation. Field investigations performed
by Drayton Archaeological Research found no cultural materials identified on the subject
property (Exhibit G) and concluded no additional archaeological work is warranted.
IV. COMAHNTS RECEIVED ON LAND USE APPLICATION
As of the date of this report, no comments have been received on the environmental threshold
determination or the Process IV MLU application.
V. CONSULTED DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
The following departments, agencies, and individuals were advised of this application:
I. Development Review Committee (DRC), consisting of Community Development Services
Planning and Building Divisions; Public Works Development Services and Traffic Divisions;
Lakehaven Utility District; and South King Fire and Rescue District. DRC comments have been
incorporated into this report where applicable.
2. All property owners within 300 feet of the site (Exhibit I) were mailed the Notice of
Application (NOA) December 10, 2008, and Notice of Public Hearing on October 17, 2009.
The NOA and Notice of Public Hearing (Exhibit 1) were posted on the site, published in the
Federal Way Mirror; and posted on the City's official notice boards, in accordance with the
City's public notice requirements.
3. In accordance with SEPA and FWRC Title 14, "Environmental Policy;" all property owners
and occupants within 300 feet of the site, and all affected agencies and tribes, were notified of
the proposed action and the City's environmental determination. In addition, the site was posted
and notice placed in the newspaper and on the City's official notice boards.

Lifeway Church Process IV `Hearing Examiner's Decision' File No. 08-10550"0-UP/Do. I D.51067
VI. GENERAL. CHARACTERISTICS OF SITE AND VICINITY
The subject property is comprised of three, single-family residentially zoned parcels totaling 8.4
acres (366,949 square feet). Existing built environment includes one manufactured home along the
I" Avenue South frontage and two garages with associated driveways on the SW 356t` Street
frontage. Surrounding land uses consist of a mix of single-family residential, senior housing, and
public school. Adjacent properties east, north, and west are zoned RS 7.2 and properties south are
zoned RS 15.0. FWRC 19.20U50 allows church uses within RS 7.2 zones with Process IV land
use approval.
The topographic survey conducted by Sadler Barnard and Associates (Exhibit J) and satellite
imagery accessed from Google Earth (Exhibit K) indicate portions of the site contain areas of
mature forest. The referenced topographic survey and preliminary landscape/tree retention plan
identify 183 significant trees on the subject property. Significant trees are defined as: a minimum
12 inches in diameter measured four and one-half feet above ground; and in good health; and not
detrimental to the community; and not red alder, cottonwood, poplar or big leaf maple.
The 1973 Soil Conservation Survey of King County indicate the soils on the site consist of Everett
Sandy Loam (EvB). The site topography is generally flat with moderately sloping areas in the
north -central and southeastern portions of the subject property. Undulating areas contain slopes
ranging from 5-20 percent with one localized area of 40 percent. Although several slopes are on
excess of 15 percent, a geotechnicai reconnaissance performed by GeoResources in February 2008
(Exhibit L), found no evidence the site contained geologically hazardous areas as defined within
FWRC 19.05.070.
The subject property is within the Hylebos Creek drainage basin. The applicant's preliminary
Technical Information Report (TIR) (Exhibit * prepared in September 2008, identifies one sub -
basin that conveys natural flows southwesterly to a public system below 1" Avenue South before
entering Hylebos Creek and eventually Puget Sound.
VII. SITE DESIGN
a) Church Building Improvements — The applicant proposes a two-story, 21,705 square -foot
church/sanctuary building to be located on the north central portion of the subject property. The
overall building pad will encompass 16,121 square feet with a planned phase 11 expansion of
4,028 square feet on the eastern portion of the building 10-15 years following the initial
construction. The proposed structure will contain multiple modulations and awnings. As shown
on the site plan (Exhibit B), the furthest linear building dimensions measure 180 feet in length
and 105 feet in width. As shown on the exterior elevation plans (Exhibit 1), the proposed
building will measure 30 feet above average building elevation and 35.25 inches at its highest
point (ridge height). The proposed building height meets FWRC 19.200.050 maximum ABE.
standards of 30 feet. The north elevation contains a fireplace chimney extending four feet above
the ridge line and nine feet from the ABE. FWRC 19.110.060(1) allows rooftop appurtenances
to exceed maximum height limits if views from adjacent properties will not be significantly
affected.
b) Stormwater Improvements — Pursuant to thresholds within FWRC 16.25.020, full drainage
review is required; therefore, the applicant must comply with core and special requirements of
the 1998 King County Surface Design Manual (KCSWDM) and Federal Way Addendum to the
KCSWDM. As detailed in the applicant's preliminary TIR (Exhibit M) and utility plan (Exhibit
O), the applicant will provide stormwater flow control via detention pond. As a component of
Staff Report to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner Page 4
Lifeway Church Process IV `Hearing Exwniner's Decision' File No. 08-105508-00-UP/n--. i.o 51067
the detention pond, a wet pond will be used as a water quality measure to treat runoff from
pollution generating surfaces. Stormwater flows from the development's impervious surfaces
will be collected in 12 catch basins and conveyed to the detention/wetpond facility on the
southeastern corner of the property. The applicant shall obtain final engineering approval from
the Public Works Department during the building permit stage of development.
c) Parking Lot Improvements — Pursuant to FWRC 19.200.050, parking stall quantity for church
uses is determined via Transportation Improvement Plan (TMP) analysis completed by a
professional traffic engineer. As shown in the applicant's TMP (Exhibit P), the following three
methods of analysis were used to determine parking demand: (1) projected attendees; (2)
International Building Code occupancies; and (3) Institute of Transportation Engineers parking
generation methodologies. An average calculation of the three methods resulted in 176 parking
stalls. The applicant's consultant engineer recommends a minimum of 176 stalls be provided
onsite for the church's two Sunday services as it was determined that 176 stalls would
adequately serve the projected 449 attendees the church expects to include in the coming 10
years. As shown on the site plan (Exhibit B), 202 parking stalls will be provided.
Parking space and aisle dimensions shall be designed using the "Parking Lot Design Criteria"
policy adopted by reference within FWRC 19.130.160(2). Typical parking dimensions within
the site plan are 9 feet wide and 18 feet long with 25-foot drive aisles. As permitted by FWRC
19.130.170, up to 25 percent of the provided stalls may be compact. Project applicant has
proposed 48 compact stalls measuring 8 feet wide and 15 feet wide with 25.5-foot drive aisles.
Space and aisle dimensions meet the above -referenced design criteria.
Access to the parking area will be provided via a 30-foot-wide private driveway between 18'
Avenue South and 2"d Avenue SW. Three ingress/egress points are provided for vehicle use and
pedestrian pathways are provided for additional access. Internal parking aisles and vehicle
drop-off area provide loop access resulting in improved circulation. Pedestrian areas are clearly
marked using stamped concrete in asphalt areas.
Pursuant to FWRC 19.125.070(2), parking areas that accommodate more than 50 stalls shall
provide 22 square feet of Type IV landscaping within the surface parking lot area. As shown on
the submitted landscape plan (Exhibit Q), 6,912 square feet of interior lot landscaping is
provided, exceeding the 4,448 square -foot minimum required. Parking areas adjacent to
residential zones shall provide Type I landscaping within the required perimeter landscape
areas. Further discussion on this requirement is detailed in the following landscaping section.
d) Landscaping— Pursuant to FWRC 19.125.060, nonresidential uses within single-family
residential zoning districts shall provide a Type III landscaping screen at least 10-feet in width.
FWRC 19.125.070(5)(b) requires the perimeter landscaping screen increase to a higher density
Type I landscaping screen for all parking areas adjacent to residential zones. As such, a ten foot
Type I landscaping screen will be required along the east, north and west parking lot perimeter.
The submitted landscaping plan details the 10-foot required Type I screen along the east and
west perimeter, but a Type III screen is shown along the north perimeter. As a condition of
approval, Type I landscaping screen along the north parking area perimeter shall be provided
and shown on the final landscape plan.
Compliance with the city's building modulation and screening requirements has been met on
the east and west facades via eight -foot Type II landscaping screen provided at the base of the
building. Additional ornamental landscaping is providing on the north and south facades and
along the internal driveway.
Staff Report to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner Page 5
Lifeway Church Process IV `Hearing Examiner's Decision' File No. 08-105508-00-UP/N.. ID 51067
A final landscape plan shall be submitted with the building permit application. Final inspection
of the installed landscaping will be required prior to Certificate of Occupancy.
e) Significant Trees — As the Process IV MLU application was determined complete prior to the
city's recent tree retention/replacement policy change, the applicant is vested to "Significant
Tree" regulations, the city's prior tree policy. The submitted topographic survey (Exhibit J) and
landscaping/tree retention plan (Exhibit Q) detail 183 existing significant trees located on the
subject property. The applicant proposes the removal of 46 significant trees for associated site
improvements. As the proposed removal of 46 trees is above the 25 percent
retention/replacement significant tree policy, no replacement is required.
As a condition of approval, the applicant shall provide protection to retained significant trees
near the proposed clearing and grading areas on the southern portion of the subject property.
Protection measures include, but are not limited to: (1) establishment of a no disturbance area
using temporary fencing and survey flagging around drip lines of retained trees; and (2) if the
grade level around the trees is to be raised by more than one foot, a rock well shall be
constructed_ The inside diameter of the rock well shall be equal to the diameter of the tree trunk
plus 10 feet. Proper drainage, and irrigation if necessary, shall be provided in all rock wells.
Protection measures shall be included in the final landscaping and engineering plans submitted
with the building permit application.
f) Lighting — As shown on the lighting plan. (Exhibit R), pedestrian areas surrounding the church
building will be illuminated via 12 wall -mounted, 150-watt lighting fixtures. Lighting standards
within the parking area consist of 11 dual and single sided recessed (i.e. cutoff shield) Lithonia
KAD 250-watt fixtures with 20-foot poles. The steps of the pedestrian plaza will contain two
bollard style lighting fixtures 42 inches in height. The garbage and recycling area is not shown
on the lighting plan and proposed lighting levels are relatively low in the vicinity. As a
condition of approval, the applicant shall provide an additional lighting standard (comparable to
other proposed standards within the plan) near the garbage enclosure area pursuant to FWRC
19.115.050(7)(ii).
g) Garbage & Recycling Enclosure —As shown on the enclosure detail (.Exhibit S), garbage and
recycling receptacles will be screened by six-foot keystone wall and 100 percent sight
obscuring fence. Further screening will be provided with landscaping along the base of the wall
as shown in the landscaping plan (Exhibit Q). The enclosure space will measure 198 square
feet, exceeding the 65 square -foot minimum prescribed within FWRC 19.12.5.150(7)(d).
h) Master Plan Approval — FWRC 19.200.050(2) requires the applicant obtain master plan
approval through Process IV if the subject property is more than five acres. As the subject
property exceeds this threshold, the applicant has provided preliminary details of a proposed
expansion planned 10-15 years following completion of the initial phase. As shown on the site
plan (Exhibit 6), an expansion of the building footprint measuring 4,028 square feet (building
pad only) is proposed on the east facade. Due to the extended time between the initial and final
phase and lack of specific details of the expansion (i.e. totaI gross floor area and architectural
elevations), separate land use application and pern-iitting will be required for proposed Phase Il
construction. The Department's recommendation for approval of the initial phase to no way
represents approval of the proposed Phase 1I.

VIII. COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES
Pursuant to Process IV `Hearing Examiner's Decision' guidelines, the Director of Community
Development Services issued a written decision regarding the application's Community Design
Guidelines July 28, 2009 (Exhibit T). The effect of this decision is contingent upon Process IV
project approval by the Hearing Examiner. Adoption of the design decision is included as a
condition of Process IV approval, as recommended herein.
IX. TRANSPORTATION
a) Access — The applicant has provided vehicular/pedestrian access and circulation consistent with
the goals and policies for Transportation, as set forth in Chapter 3 of the Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan (FWCP). The subject property has two vehicle access points (one on V .
Avenue South and one on 2nd Avenue SW). Pedestrian access is provided adjacent to SW 3561h
Street via two six -foot -wide sidewalks and one 28-foot-wide pedestrian plaza entrance.
Additional pedestrian access is provided on 1" Avenue and 2nd Avenue SW frontages. A
bicycle rack will be provided near the SW 356`h Street entrance.
The site is adjacent to a principal arterial (SW 356a' Street) and a minor arterial (1" Avenue
South) thereby meeting FWRC 19.200.050 special regulation #4 "[t]he subject property must
be adjacent to a collector or arterial right-of-way."
b) Concurrency — As a component of the Process IV MLU application, the applicant was required
to undergo traffic Concurrency analysis pursuant to the state Growth Management Act; goals
and policies of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan; and FWRC Chapter 19.90
Transportation Concurrency Management.
The city's Traffic Division reviewed the Concurrency application and accepts the applicant's
traffic engineer calculation that the proposed church improvements will generate 12 new
weekday trips. Trip generation was based on rates found in the Institute of Traflic Engineers
publication Trip Generation (8`h Edition, 2003). The evening peak hour trips were then
distributed and assigned to the adjacent roadways and intersection within the study area using
the city's transportation model (Exhibit 0. Peak hour trips were found to affect the following
four projects in the city's six -year Transportation Improvements Plan (TIP).

delineated stamped concrete walkway within the asphalt parking/driveway areas and textured
concrete pathways throughout the subject property.
XI. STATEMENT OF FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS
Based on an analysis of the Process IV application, the environmental record, and applicable
decisional criteria, the Department of Community Development Services finds that:
Staff Report to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner Page 9
Lifeway Church Process IV `Hearing Examiner's Decision' File No. 08-105508-00-UP/D c. LD.51067
a) Proposed improvements require review under the city's land use Process 1V `Hearing
Examiner' pursuant to provisions outlined in FWRC 19.200.050 `Required Review Process.'
Applicable regulations and policies used to review the proposal included, but were not limited
to: Federal Way Revised Code Titles 14, 16, and 19; Federal Way Comprehensive Plan; 1998
King County Surface Water Design Manual with Federal Way Addendum; Public Works
Department Development Standards•, and State Environmental Policy Act rules Chapter 197-11.
b) Proposed improvements include the construction of a 21,705 square -foot church/sanctuary
building, parking area to accommodate 202 vehicles, pedestrian amenities, landscaping and
above -ground stormwater facility. A 4,028 square -foot building pad expansion is planned 10-15
years following construction of the initial proposal.
c) An environmental checklist was reviewed by city staff, agencies with jurisdiction, and Puyallup
and Muckleshoot tribes. Following review of the proposal and environmental reports submitted
by the applicant, the city's Responsible Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance
(DNS) August 1, 2009. No comments or appeals were received regarding the environmental
threshold determination.
d) The city's critical areas inventory indicates a Category III forested wetland may exist on the
southern portion of the subject property. A,wetland reconnaissance performed by the
applicant's wetland consultant and confirmed by the city's consultant show no evidence of any
wetlands on or within 200 feet of the subject property. No other critical areas or associated
buffers are within the subject property's boundary.
e) The following are general dimensional regulations pursuant to FWRC 19.200.050 "Use Zone
Chart."
i. Minimum Lot Size — 7,200 square feet / Pr osal — 366,949 s vase feet
ii. Required Yards (setbacks) — 30 feet front, 30 feet side, and 30 feet rear / Proposal 35
feet front, 207 feet east side, 194 feet west side and 453 feet rear
iii. Lot Coverage— 75 percent maximum / Proposal - 3l percent
iv. Height — 30 feet ABE / Fr osal — 30 feet ABE 35-foot rida hei t
The proposed site plan meets lot size, required yard, lot coverage, and height requirements.
f) A proposed fireplace chirnney extends approxnnately four feet above the ridgeline and nine feet
A13E on the north elevation. FWRC 19.110.060(1)(b) allows rooftop appurtenances to exceed
height maximum if views from adjacent properties are not significantly affected. The placement
of the chimney structure will not compromise any views of neighboring parcels due to the
subject property's topographic elevation.
g) FWRC 19.200.050(4) requires church uses within RS zones abut collectors or arterial rights -of -
way. The subject property is adjacent to SW 356`" Street and 181 Avenue South, which are
designated a Principal Arterial and Minor Arterial, respectively, by the FWCP.
h) Right-of-way dedication and half -street improvements along the existing V Avenue South
frontage include road, curb/gutter, planter and sidewalk north of the private driveway. Right-of-
way dedication and half -street improvements for a new 2°d Avenue SW include road, parking
lane, curb/gutter, planter and sidewalk. In lieu of improvements along the SW 356h Street, the
applicant shall dedicate 1 I feet along the property frontage for the above -referenced designated
TIP project. Road construction meets requirements of FWRC Chapter 19.135 'Public
Improvements' and road section standards adopted by the FWCP.
statT Report to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner Page 10
Lifewav Church Process IV 'Hearing Examiner's Decision' File No. 08-105508-00-UP/ooc. Lo. 51067
i) The church improvements will generate 12 new peak hour trips that will affect 4 projects
adopted in the city's six year TIP. The applicant will be required to provide a pro-rata share
contribution in the amount of $25,143.00 to mitigate impacts to level of service standards.
j) The amount of proposed impervious surfaces required full drainage review by the Public Works
Department. The subject property is within areas designated Level 1 Flow Control and Basic
Water Quality, which requires the applicant to design a stormwater facility meeting the
applicable requirements of the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual. Flow control
and water quality requirements will be met via a series of catchbasins conveying stormwater to
an onsite detention/wetpond prior to downstream release.
k) The applicant's traffic engineer has provided analysis that 176 parking stalls will adequately
serve full occupancy of the church. The site plan exceeds the recommendation and provides
202 parking stalls.
1) FWRC 19.200.050(2) requires all church proposals on property greater than five acres obtain
master plan approval as a component of the Process IV decision. As the Lifeway Church MLU
application exceeds this threshold, the applicant has provided a conceptual Phase II expansion
consisting of a 4,028 square-Ofoot building pad addition located on the east side of the Phase I
building. The planned Phase II expansion is expected to be constructed 10-15 years following
the initial site improvements. No exterior building elevations of Phase II were submitted with
the MLU application. The majority of improvements (structure, stormwater, roads, landscaping,
etc.) will be completed during the initial construction. Due to the conceptual nature of the
planned expansion, separate permitting and review will be required for Phase II and the
department's recommendation in no way includes the second phase.
m) The Director of Community Development Services has found the proposal meets applicable
requirements of FWRC Chapter 19.115 "Community Design Guidelines" and issued Design
Approval July 28, 2009. The effect of this decision is contingent upon Process IV project
approval by the Hearing Examiner. No appeals of the decision were filed with the city.
n) Final engineering and construction plans related, but not limited to buildings, roads, stormwater
and lighting will be reviewed during the building permit stage and must meet all applicable
Public Works Department Development Standards and the 2006 International Building Code
standards adopted by the Department of Community Development Services Building Division.
o) As analyzed previously, city staff has concluded that the church improvements have met all
Process IV decisional criteria pursuant to FWRC 19.70.150(3).
p) Pursuant to FWRC 19.70.150(2), the Hearing Examiner shall issue a decision on the Process IV
Master Land Use application within 10 working days following the close of the public hearing.

RE: File #08-105508-00-UP; Technical Comment Letter & Request for Additional Information
Lifeway Church, 157 SW 3561h Street, Federal Way
Dear Ms. Napier:
The City's Development Review Committee (DRC) is currently reviewing the above -referenced Process
IV land use application and corresponding State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) checklist. Proposed
site development includes a new 21,705 square -foot, two-story church/sanctuary building, stormwater
detention pond, parking accommodations, landscaping, and road improvements. The application was
deemed complete December 4, 2008, and notice of application was given December 10, 2008. Members
of the DRC have provided comments below.
TECHNICAL COMMENTS/REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If you have questions about an individual comment, please contact the appropriate department
representative noted below.
Matthew Herrera, Planning Division, 253-835-2638, matt.herrera@cityoffederalway.com
While Planning staff finds the overall design concept in accordance with many of the City's development
regulations applicable to church uses; some corrections and/or additional information is requested prior to
scheduling a public hearing and issuing a determination on the Community Design Guidelines component
of the Process IV application.
I. Site Plan
a. Plan Inconsistencies — The site plan (sheet 5) prepared by Abbey Road Group has considerable
differences with regard to parking and aisle location than the civil, landscape, and design intent
plans. Please modify all plans to be consistent with one another.
b. Detailed Enlargement — As the subject property is nearly 14 acres and the area to be developed
is considerably smaller, staff requests an additional exhibit showing an enlarged detail of the
site development area north of the proposed road connecting 1" Avenue South and 2nd Avenue
South. Using a scale such as 1 '= 20' for the proposal area similar to sheet L-1 of the landscape
plan would provide a site plan more conducive for comment and review for the public and the
City's decision makers. Several of the applicable comments in this technical review should be
added to this new exhibit.

II. Pedestrian Areas
a. Pedestrian circulation areas should be delineated with textured pavement. This requirement has
been called out for areas surrounding the building footprint on sheet A1.0, but no details of
walkways or material is provided on the pedestrian connections in parking lot areas. Please
provide commentaKy on sheet A1.0 regardingregKding the delineation method and materials for parking
Iot pedestrian connections.
b. The site layout provides many opportunities for pedestrian interaction, but only one seating area
is provided at grade (under the north canopy). Staff suggests providing additional seating,
outdoor furniture, and other streetscape elements. Please see FWCC 22-1634(d)(5) for a list of
examples. Adding pedestrian features on the south side of the building, the area desi aced for
Phase II. and the -plaza would satisfy the pedestrian component.
C. As the pedestrian plaza is adjacent to SW 356 h Street, please add a vehicle access barrier on the
northern end of the plaza. Staff suggests boulders or raised planters, which will provide a safety
barrier and streetscape elements.
d. FWCC 22-1638(a)(10) requires pedestrian walkways from the right-of-way to measure six feet
in width. Please amend the two walkwa s on the east and west side of the building foo rint to
reflect this re uirement.
e. Additional lighting in pedestrian areas is needed. Please pLovjde lighting details for pedestrian
circulation and plaza areas.
f. The applicant's traffic consultant noted pedestrian and bicycling activity present in the area
during their analysis. The City's Bicycle Facilities Plan identifies SW 356h Street as a "Class 2
Route" (marked bike lanes). Staff suggests the placement of a bicycle rack in a pedestrian area
to encourage additional transportation options for youth groups and church staff to utilize
during informal hours of church operation.
M. Lighting
No lighting details with regard to glare are included with the lighting plan. Glare regulations require
cutoff shields for lighting fixtures. Please provide a taical lighting ole and fixture detail that will
be used in the parking lot area. The pole should measure between 20 and 30 feet and shall include
cutoff shields.
IV. Height and Rooftop Appurtenances
a. Height — Using the City's Average Building Elevation (ABE) height calculation, Staff estimates
the highest point of the structure (canopy area) to 30 feet ABE. Submitted plans and narrative
detail a height measurement of 39 feet. Please provide clarification on the building height
measurement.
b. Rooftop Appurtenances — No rooftop appurtenances were shown on the building elevations as
they are preliminary. Appurtenances must be screened or painted. Project designers should
consult FWCC Sections 22-960 and 22-1047 prior to building permit submittal.

V. Garbage & Recycling Enclosure
It is unclear where the garbage and recycling enclosure will be located on the subject property as it is
shown in three different locations on submitted site, landscape, and architectural design intent plans.
Garbage and recycling enclosure elements shall be consistent relative to the architecture, material,
and color of the primary building and should be screened with landscaping. Chain link fencing is not
a permitted garbage enclosure. The minimum space requirement for the enclosure area is 65 square
feet. Please provide elevations/details of garbage enclosure and clarify, on submitted plans its
1 nrati nn _
VI. Parking
a. Stall Count Discrepancies — As mentioned previously, site plan inconsistencies have resulted in
a discrepancy in stall count totals. Totals provided in the project narrative, Traffic Management
Plan, environmental checklist, project coversheet amount to 204 stalls. The remaining civil,
landscape, lighting, and design intent plans provide 195 stalls. Please provide a final stall count
and detail those changes in the correspondiLig plans.
b. Stall Count Methodology — Please provide the methodology in the transportation management
plan for determining the parking stall count during Sunday morning services, e.g. Institute of
Transportation Engineers Parking Generation manual.
C. Accessibility — If the final stall count will be 195, then six stalls shall be accessible. If the final
stall count will be 204, then seven stalls shall be accessible. In either case, at least one stall
shall be van accessible.
VH. Master Plan
As the subject property is greater than five acres, a master plan detailing the ultimate development of
the site is required. A Phase H, which includes a 4,028 square -foot expansion of the building
footprint, is anticipated in 10 to 15 years as noted in the project narrative. As a component of the
master plan, please include details of additional Rarking and possible stormwater facility upgades
that may be needed for the future expansion.
VIH. Boundary Line Adjustment
Community Development Services and Public Works have received the December 2, 2008, BLA
resubmittal modifying the original submittal. Prior to approval, the house located on the new
Kopery line separating proposed lots one and two must be removed.
Kevin Peterson, Dev. Services Division, 253-835-2734, kevin.peterson@cityoffederalway.com
Public Works has reviewed the November 14, 2008 submittal. Prior to Land Use Approval, the following
Technical Review comments shall be addressed:
1) The following comments apply to the proposed storm water pond:
a) Locate the pond such that it does not interfere with the SW 3586'Street improvements (3/4
street improvements along the south property boundary), whether required with this phase of
development or in the future (Traffic Division to determine the requirements for construction of
SW 358t' St). It appears that the current pond location may encroach (or be very close to
encroaching) into the future roadway.
b) The pond access road should be designed so that when SW 358 h Street is built (whether with
this phase of the project or in the future) the access will be off of 358t', and the access road still
08-105508 Doc I D 48463
Mr. Napier
January 15, 2009
Page 4
meets the 15% maximum slope requirement. As currently designed and located, it appears that
the pond access road may not meet the 15% maximum slope requirement if it were to come off
of 358* Street.
c) The pond control structure shall also be located outside of the future 358d' right-of-way, yet still
be located adjacent to the pond access road.
2) We require that the engineer provide a roadway plan and profile of SW 3580' Street, between 2nd
Avenue SW and I" Avenue South, showing existing and proposed grades. This will aid in the review
process of both this and the Retreat Meadows preliminary plat projects. The concern is that the entire
section of this road, between 2"d Avenue SW and 0 Avenue South, will meet the City's design
criteria.
3) Label the existing and proposed street names on the Lighting Plan.
4) Confirm with the Traffic Division on street improvement requirements for this phase of the project.
5) informational Only - The applicant should be made aware that open -cutting of 15t Avenue South
and/or SW 356 h Street for extension of utilities may trigger the City's requirement for full -width
asphalt overlay or an overlay mitigation fee.
SEPA Issues —
1) Section B.14.d. — The response should be broken down for each roadway, including proposed
improvements, width of dedication, and limits of improvements. The applicant should discuss all of
these issues with the City's Traffic Division, in order to determine the extents of the improvements
required.
2) Section B.16.b. — The response indicates that a new water main will be extended down 2nd Avenue
SW; however, the plans show the water connection in 1" Avenue South. The response and drawings
should correspond to each other.
Sarady Long, Traffic Division, 253-835-2743, sarady.long@cityoffederalway.com
Mr. Long is currently reviewing the concurrency application and transportation impact analysis. Any
Traffic Division comments will be routed to you upon completion.

Hi Tamara:
I am sorry to have to report that our Classified Dept. made an error and place the wrong legals in today's paper,
so your Lifeway Church ad did not appear as scheduled.
We can schedule it for the Saturday paper at no charge. We are working to rectify this situation so it can't
happen again. I thought we had a good system in place, but human error prevailed. We are trying to eliminate
the possibility of human error.
Again, I am very sorry. Let me know if you wish to run on Saturday, and if any dates in the legal need to be
changed. Thank you for your understanding. We will get this resolved shortly.

PROJECT NARRATIVE FOR PROPOSED LIFEWAY CHURCH PROJECT
LOCATED AT SW 356T" AND 1 ST AVE. SW
The proposed Lifeway Church Project consists of three parcels (3021049020 (A),
3021049118 (B), 3021049036 (C)) and is approximately 13.83 acres in size. Currently the
site has two single family residences located parcels B and C, with only the residence on
parcel C being occupied. The residence on parcel B is abandoned and is planned for
demolition as part of a Boundary Line Adjustment application currently under review with
the City of Federal Way. The applicant is proposing to construct of an approximately
21,705 sf, 2-Story Church/Sanctuary Building on the newly proposed Lot '1' of the BLA
application submittal under review.
The development is proposing access off of SW 356th St. onto 2"d Ave. SW and also off
of 1 st Ave. SW. A storm detention pond is proposed on the southerly portion of the
newly proposed Lot `2', to accommodate the site's storm drainage.
All three existing Lots are heavily vegetated and the development's proposal with the
new lot configurations under the BLA will be to only remove vegetation on Lot 1 for
development and leave the existing vegetation and trees on the newly proposed Lots 2
and 3, with the exception of what will need to be removed to accommodate the storm
pond on Lot 2.
The site development area of the project is localized to approximately 5 acres of the
overall project area.
Location
The development is located on the southwest corner of SW 356th St. and 1 st Ave. SW in
Federal Way. The site has residential communities to the west and east across 1st Ave.
SW and Senior Housing across SW 356th St. to the north with commercial office
buildings across the street to the northeast. Illahee Middle School is the southerly
neighbor of the project site.
Zoning
The site is presently zoned at RS 7.2,

R C L-
NOV 14 2008
Water: CITY (op FEDERAL WAY
Lakehaven Utility District is the water purveyor in the area. Water mains run' r,)(:z
along both S. 356th St. and 1 st Ave. S. Connections to the water main will be in
accordance with Lakehaven Utility District requirements. In conjunction with the
Project/04-118/Permit Submittals/Pre-Application/Project Narrative 11.12.08
westerly proposed subdivision development currently under review with the City,
water will be extended down 2"d Ave. SW for utilization by the Church Facility.
Sewer:
Lakehaven Utility District is the sewer purveyor in the area. The site is currently
utilizingy a Septic System. The nearest existing sewer main is on 41h Ave. S. north
of 356t St. Should the residential portion of the project move forward, the project
will extend the sewer from the closest location at the time of construction to the
site for utilization by the residences and the church facilities, per Lakehaven
Utility District's requirements. In conjunction with the westerly proposed
subdivision development currently under review with the City, water will be
extended down 2nd Ave. SW for utilization by the Church Facility.
Storm Water:
A detention pond is proposed on the site and will discharge to existing City
systems as per the City of Federal way requirements.
Roads:
S. 356th St. is a 5-lane highway running along the frontage of the site directly to
the north. We propose constructing half -street improvements on 2'd Ave. SW
(matching the existing centerline of 2Id Ave. SW across S. 3561h St.), for access
to the church facilities. A 30' through access way off of 1" Ave. SW. to 2nd Ave.
SW will be constructed for additional access to the church facilities and
circulation.

Narrative:
Compliance with Community Design Guidelines
Lifewai Church
SW 356th Street, Federal Way, Washington
Prepared by:
Jack A. Ross AIA, Architect
October 1, 2008
The proposed development of Lifeway Church's new Worship, Administration &
Classroom Facility, to be located at the Southwest Comer of SW 356t, Street & lst
Avenue SW, has been designed, to the best of our knowledge, to include the criteria as
outlined in FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIX, "Community Design Guidelines". The
following narrative describes how the various guidelines have been met:
FWCC Section 22-1634 d
There are two primary entrances into the proposed facility — one oriented facing the
major public & pedestrian thoroughfare of SW 356th Street, and the other on the
opposing, or interior facade of the building. These entrances are quite `grand' in nature
including covered canopies, delineated pedestrian routes and plazas, and clearly
recognizable as entrances from both directions. In addition, the entrance facing SW 356th
Street is also the main event & gathering hub of the proposed building — with outdoor
seating at both the main pedestrian entrance level and an open deck above.
FWCC Section 22-1638 a 2
As indicated above, the entrance facades front on, and are clearly recognizable from the
main thoroughfare of SW 356th Street. The grand architectural canopies and columns,
along with large expanses of glazing clearly identify these elements as entrances.
FWCC Section 22-1639(3)
The proposed building is 173'-9" in length and varies in depth from 89'-0" to 92'-0" on
either end. In this length, there are (3) three significant structural modulations proposed
on each side of the building. The largest of these are the main entrance setbacks, stone
columns and canopies — which provide a 20 ft. depth and an overall width of 42 ft. —
exceeding the 10% minimum required by this section. In addition, the remaining fagade
length is broken up with vertical, stone & glazed architectural elements that extend from
the ground to a sloping roof termination that finishes above the building's main fascia
that extends along its length — thereby breaking up the roof forms and creating interest as
well.
FWCC Section 1639(5j
As indicated in the above section, the proposed design includes varying rooflines — all
with pitched roofs. Flat roofs have been avoided altogether. The design varies the
support elements of the various roofs — some are supported by heavy -timber and wood
truss elements while others are supported by sloping stone walls, horizontal siding walls,
or walls of vertical board & batten finish. The roof forms are very distinct and clearly
identify, along with their supporting elements, the varying functional characteristics of
the proposed building and use.
FWCC 22-1639 5
The proposed building incorporates varying methods of architectural articulation
including (6) six exterior architectural treatments:
a. Large expanses of glazing
b. Stone wainscots
C. Board & Batten Siding
d. Horizontal Lap Siding
e. Exposed Heavy'Timber Structure
f. High Profile Architectural Grade Composition Shingle
The proposed architectural design modulations/offset elements are appropriately
proportionate to the length and height of the building. Pedestrian orientation to the
building is maximized by placement of the user's clearly recognizable event hub facing
the main thoroughfare and pedestrian right-of-way. This element includes development
of a large pedestrian plaza between the street and building entrance.
FWCC 22-1639(6)
The proposed parking areas have been designed to comply with the City's landscaping
criteria. Please see the Landscape Plans prepared and submitted as part of this
application.
FWCC 22-1635(h)
Fagade Modulation — As indicated above, all facades' designs include modulation &
offset of major architectural elements, varying architectural finishes/colors & varying
rooflines.
Landscape Screening — See the proposed Landscape Plan.
Canopy or Arcade — As mentioned above, the two main entrances are defined by Grand
Stone & Heavy -Timber structure supporting expansive canopies.
Pedestrian Plaza — A very large pedestrian plaza has been provided between SW 356cn
Street and the Main Building Entrance facing it. The plaza is easily recognizable from
the public sidewalk and encompasses 1,980 sq. ft. or slightly more than 9% of the gross
floor area of the building.

LIFEWAY CHURCH
TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN AND PARKING ANALYSIS
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This report summarizes anticipated traffic impacts related to the Lifeway Church. The
proposed project is a 21,705 square foot church. The church currently meets at Decatur
High School off of So 320th Street. The project site is located on the southwest corner of
the SW 356th Street & 1st Avenue S intersection. The area surrounding the project is
primarily residential. Access to the project will be via an internal roadway that will
connect 1st Avenue Sand 2nd Avenue SW. Buildout of the project is expected by 2010.
The current site plan shows that 202 parking stalls will be provided. 7 of the stalls will be
disability parking only. Attached to this report is a site plan of the proposed Lifeway
Church that shows the proposed building and parking lay -out. Current use estimations
have been determined by the church and includes the number of participants based on
building usage for each service associated with the church throuvhI uses
have been further defined below.
II. METHODS OFANALYSIS
The city of Federal Way requires the use
parking requirements. The several meth
with consultants with the church and city
as follows:
l t v--� ZcS�-.ry5
1. Use Projected Attendees
2. Use IBC Occupancies
3. Use ITE Parking Generation methodo
III. DETERMINE A VERAGE VEHICLE OC
For a church use, one method is to use the exl Y enicles in
conjunction with the number of attendees duri _ __ anum service times in order to
determine the number of parking spaces. The occupant load of a building can be fixed,
thereby allowing for the calculation of the number of parking stalls to serve the church.
This information can be analyzed with modifications applicable to the Lifeway Church in
order to better estimate the needed parking once the new sanctuary is fully occupied.
The city of Federal Way recommends the use of ITE Parking Generation data along with
data from other sites. Several sites with the same size magnitude as the Lifeway Church
were analyzed for vehicle occupancy based on samples of cars entering onto their
respective sites. Exhibit A provides information on the AVO as noted. Along with ITE
data, the churches reviewed included the following:
By reverting to the AVO of 2.5 used in the CFC report and then assuming the 90 percent
capacity of the church indicating full occupancy as defined by churches the following
number of parking stalls would serve the church.
449 attendees /2.5 attendees per vehicle = 160 stalls with 90 percent = 162 stalls
Method 2 Parking Demand - Use IBC Occupancies
The projected occupancy for all of the buildings on -site are shown in Appendix C. This
information, calculated by the project architect, indicates that if maximum occupancy as
outlined in the IBC is used the total number on -site is 700 occupants.
Assuming this number of attendees and a 3.0 AVO requires that 234 stalls be provided
based on this methodology.
f*Q Pi n 5 R w,-4_ *.J.--,d k 47 q b J{ -�-U C� Q G� . f L •� O 27 Z 5 ��-`I S
Method 3 Parking Demand - Use ITE Parking Generation
This ITE methodology recognizes several independent variables including seats,
attendees and square footage.
Use Number of Seats
The total number of seats is 449 in the proposed Lifeway Church and the peak parking
demand as determined by ITE is 0.16 vehicles per seat which is the average rate. The
parking requirements using this method is therefore calculated to be 72 stalls. If the /
fitted curve is used the number of stalls would be 73 stalls. Using the 85th percentile of
ITE yields 0.21 vehicles per seat, which calculates to 95 stalls.
2. Use Number of Attendees
The total attendees is assumed to be 449 which represents the sanctuary capacity plus
the nurse The peak parking demand using average rates is 0.44 attendees per stall
n'• p p g g g p
and therefore the parking calculates out to 198 stalls using this methodology. Using the 5 0...,.
fitted equation under this scenario calculates the parking to be 212 stalls. Assuming the
;85th percentile of 0.6 vehicles per attendee the number would calculate to 269 stalls.
Use Total Square Footage of Buildings
The total square footage on the site once constructed will be 21,705 square feet. The
peak parking demand based on rates is 7.81 vehicles per 1,000 square feet. The number
of parking stalls would therefore be 170 stalls (21.705 x 7.81 = 170). The data is
scattered such that a fitted curve isn't calculated. By using the 85th percentile under this
listing the rate of 13.79 vehicles per 1,000 square feet gross floor area would calculate
to 299 stalls.
C. Days and Hour of Uses
The use times and current and projected attendance for the various weekly events at the
building are shown in Exhibits B. The maximum parking needs on the site will take
place during Sunday morning church services with lesser usage needed at other times of
the week.
V. PARKING MANAGEMENT
The Lifeway Church personnel would commit to keeping the parking lot clear of long
term parking and use by others not associated with the activities on the site. The site
would not lend itself to this activity as most area establishments have their own off-street
parking. Control of parking and direction to the patrons should also be provided by the
church leadership in the form of announcements and reminders to direct attendees as to
parking functions and any other guidance that might be needed such as encouraging their
members to ride share. Also proposed would be usher directed traffic to assure full
utilization and efficient movement within the parking lot during the main services.
The building allows for future space for up to 449 seats. Any additional development of
the church site would be undertaken under additional permits if future phases are pursued.
Parking needs for the future phases would be reviewed prior to permit and could be based
on actual utilization.
VI. TRAFFIC MOVEMENT TO ADJACENT STREETS
Location of the site is to be at southwest corner of the South 356th Street & 1 st Avenue
South intersection. The access for the site is to be provided a new roadway bordering the
southern edge of the site that will connect 1st Street SW and 2nd Avenue SW. Upon
approval of the building and site plan and review of the Traffic Management Plan, the
church will can finalize the site plan and also the city to complete its review of the traffic
impact analysis.
VII. CONCL USIONS
The several methods of analysis yield the following results as summarized below:
Method 1 - Projected Attendees of 449 attendees and 3.0 AVO = 150 Stalls
Method 1 - Projected Attendees of 449 attendees and 2.75 AVO = 163 Stalls
Method 1 - Projected Attendees of 449 attendees and 2.5 AVO = 180 Stalls
Method 2 - Parking Demand Using IBC occupancies And 3.0 AVO = 234 Stalls
Method 3A - ITE Number of seats = 72 Stalls (rates) and 65 Stalls (equation)
Method 3A - ITE Number of seats = 95 Stalls (rates) 85th percentile
Method 3B - ITE Number of Attendees = 198 Stalls (rates) and 212 Stalls (equation)
Method 3B - ITE Number of Attendees = 269 Stalls (rates) 85th percentile
Method 3C - ITE Square Footage = 170 Stalls (rates)
Method 3C - ITE Square Footage = 299 Stalls (rates) 85th percentile
Given the many ways that churches can operate and thereby control the number attendees,
it is recommended that Method 1 provides the best basis of parking demand for this
specific church. The number of stalls using this method would be up to 180 stalls if 100
percent attendance needs to be considered. A more realistic need is assuming the
effective maximum for churches which is 90 percent of maximum attendance or 162
stalls. Current site plans shows approximately 202 stalls which is augmented by a few
spaces for higher occupancy vehicles so the 180 stall calculation could be met.
The IBC occupancy calculation results in an extremely high parking requirement that
would never be achieved as it assumes that all areas of the building is fully occupied
which would not happen in reality. None of the programs planned by the church would
accommodate such a high number of attendees.
The ITE calculations are for generic churches and no knowledge is available as to how
the churches in the data pool operate or what their specific demographics are. The
analysis presented in Exhibit B in this analysis is detailed as to how this specific church
will operate once the new sanctuary is built and would prevail in terms of a commitment
by the church to operate as proposed within this analysis.
Calculate the number of parking stalls using the 85th percentile of the ITE analysis
average for attendees and seats and also using a conservative approach to AVO in
conjunction with the number of attendees. In this case the AVO assumed is 2.75.
The suggested criteria for calculating the proposed parking are bolded on the
previous page and are used as an average of the several methods.
Using the average of the three methods, the proposed minimum number of stalls are
therefore calculated as follows:
(163 stalls + 95 stalls + 269 stalls)/3 = 176 stalls proposed for the site
VIII. RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Provide a minimum of 176 parking stalls on -site. The current proposed design shows
202 parking stalls.
2. Provide the City of Federal Way a schedule of operations for Sunday services
reflecting the start time of services and building occupancy. The purpose is to
corroborate that site occupancy will not exceed the projected 449 attendees assumed
with full occupancy of the new sanctuary building.
Other Strategies if needed
As was identified in the CFC analysis and suggested here the following strategies are also
suggested as necessary.
1. Self -regulation by attendees employing shared rides if parking supply is regularly
exceeded.
2. Increases in the capacity of the parking lot through tandem parking during peak
events.
3. Off -site parking with shuttle van service.

Vehicle Ocsupanpy- Parking Analysis
Currently the church leases off site parking and shuttles parishioners back and forth. On
Wednesday June 16th, 2004 Church staff documented 148 cars on the Church grounds and 31 4vo
123 off -site, a total of 271 parked vehicles (232 parked vehicles were noted in the traffic
study). Attending service on June 16th were 768 adult parishioners and 240 children. The
calculated vehicle occupancy is —3.7 (1,008 people/271 cars) persons per car.
The occupancy for the site as determined by the City building Department is 772 persons in
the main sanctuary, 213 in the youth sanctuary and 525 in the reception room. These
values are consistent to observed values on June 16th, 2004. The reception area is not in
use during services (albeit a few people setting up for a reception after a service or wedding
would be present). Thus from an occupancy loading perspective the Church is at capacity
now. The additional parking proposed simply provides the needed parking on site. With the
proposed parking addition the site will have sufficient parking (316 stalls > 271 demand) to
meet the parking demand of the Church.
Summary
At project completion 316 parking stalls will be available on site for parishioners of the Slavic
Gospel Church. Using ITE data suggests a peak parking demand of 313 vehicles and based
on vehicle occupancy a demand of 271 would be expected. Both these values are less than
the provided 316 parking stalls. Thus day to day parking demand is projected to be met on
site.

3.1.2.2 Parking
Parking analysis generally uses the 85 to 90 percentile of demand to assure that parking supply provided
on a site meets the demand for the majority of potential cases experienced (ITE 1999).
Church
Parking demand for the church is affected by the same factors as trip generation (discussed above). The
projected peak Sunday parking demand of 1,266 reflects 90 percent church occupancy by 4,020 persons
withentering and exiting patterns of the existing church.
Projected peak Sunday demand of 1,266 is lower than the on -site supply of 1,648 (1,178 on the church
site, 470 on the school site).
There are several factors that may result in higher parking demand than projected. These include:
• Greater than 90 percent occupancy of the sanctuary.
• Lower AVO.
• Variability in entering and exiting patterns such that attendees stay on site longer and fewer
attendees leave prior to the end of the service. This is more likely to occur on events like
Christmas or Easter or when special programs are offered.

DRAFT - Environmental Impact Statement 3-38 October 2003
02"1 Z
■ A change in programs to offer education classes during the later service that would encourage
attendees at the earlier service to remain on site. This is less likely to lead to additional parking
accumulation with an hour and a half separation between services.
It is not possible to reliably assess the probability that these factors would occur. The potential results of
higher parking demand consists of spiIIover to adjacent streets and/or properties. If spillover occurs, it is
most likely to be accommodated at the following locations:
• The office park, which shares the proposed driveway entrance with the church on pacific
Highway South (Pacific Highway South). Shared parking an this site would be 600 to gpp feet
from the church building and would not meet Federal Way standards for distance to shared
parking facilities. It is unlikely that these spaces would be occupied on Sunday.
• On -street parking in the Business Park area to the south where South 341st Place, 21st Place
South, and 18th Place South all allow on -street parking. The blocks immediately west and south
of the site can accommodate approximately 120 cars with parallel parking on both sides of the
street. These streets are provided with pedestrian connections to the site via 20th Avenue South,
which is new, and are approximately 900 feet of walking distance from the church. This is in
excess of the 500-foot standard in FWCC 22-2422(2) for distance to shared parking facilities.
• The light industrial and office areas south of the site are slightly more distant but would be
unlikely to be occupied on Sunday and could be used for spill -over parking.
• The residential area north of South 336th Street is less.likely to be used for spill -over parking
- beeause ens :. pr :__L_4 ca"0th Avenue South (the major gateway to the
residential area�isarrow to_permit on -street parking}.
It is likely that the church could reach formal or informal agreements with adjacent commercial properties
to allow use of parking lots not used by businesses on Sunday.
If necessary, reductions in parking demand could be accomplished by several means, including:
■ Self -regulation by attendees employing shared rides if parking supply is regularly exceeded.
■ Increases in the capacity of the parking lot through tandem parking during peak events.
• Temporary parking adjacent to the school athletic field.
Off -site parking with shuttle van service.
The maximum weekday parking demand of 1,361 for the evening service reflects the assumed 75 percent
occupancy and 2.5 AVO. This is within the parking supply on site.
Weekdays, mid -day parking demand would be a maximum 375 for daytime church programs, plus 79 for
employees. This reflects an AVO of 1.1 and is within the parking supply.
School
Existing parking surveys for schools generally provide parking ratios based on numbers of students;
however, the large variety of factors that may affect trip generation, as discussed above, also affect
parking demand. A 1993 review of parking data from multiple studies found a margin of error in
matching a statistical regression with actual cases to be. outside of the acceptable range of variation for
most users (ITE 1999).

Land Use: 560
Church
Land Use Description
A church is a building where public worship services are held. A church houses an assembly hall or
sanctuary. It may also house meeting rooms, classrooms and occasionally dining, catering, or party
facilities. The database for this land use also includes synagogues and mosques.
Database Description
The database consisted of all suburban sites with the exception of one urban site. Parking demand at the
urban site was similar to that of the suburban sites and therefore the data were combined and analyzed
together.
• Average site density: 25 sq. ft. GFA per seat (six sites).
• Average parking supply ratios: 0.27 spaces per seat (11 study sites), 0.66 spaces per attendee (eight
study sites) and 10.6 spaces per 1,000 sq, ft. GFA (10 study sites).
The wide variation in parking demand rates based on building GFA was likely due to variations in the
provision of meeting rooms, classrooms and residence space in addition to worship space in some
facilities.
Limited data were available for parking demand on weekdays at houses of worship with primary services
on Sunday. At one site, a weekday parking demand rate of 0.006 vehicles per seat was reported for the
hour beginning at 6:00 p.m. At another site, a weekday parking demand rate of 1,17 vehicles per 1,000
sq. ft. GFA was reported for the hour beginning at 10:00 a.m.
Limited data were available for parking demand at houses of worship with primary services on days other
than Sunday.
• One study was submitted for a synagogue that had a peak parking demand rate of 0.41 parked
vehicles per attendee between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m. during a Saturday service with 132 attendees.
• One study was submitted for a masque that had a building size of 4,800 sq. ft. GFA and a peak
parking demand rate of 6.2 parked vehicles per 1,000 sq. ft. GFA between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m. on a
Friday.
• Two Seventh-Day Adventist churches were observed to have parking demand rates of 0.32 and 0.40
vehicles per attendee between 10:00 and.11:00 a.m. on a Saturday during services with 78 and 105
attendees, respectively.
Future studies should include weekday data that encompass group activities (such as, youth
groups, study groups, retreats) as well as base employee data.

Subject: Lifeway Church Traffic Impact Analysis - Revisions
Dear Mr. Long:
This letter serves to address the comments made in your February 2, 2009 letter concerning
revisions to the Lifeway Church Traffic Impact Analysis -Level 1.
1. The northbound approach of 1st Ave SW at SW 356th Street is fully widened with a left turn
lane, a through lane and a right turn lane, providing substantial storage for vehicles during the
lower volume Sunday peak hour. Project traffic also has the option of using the western
access via the future 2nd Ave SW if queuing ever becomes an issue on 1st Ave SW.
Therefore queuing issues are not expected to be an issue for the Lifeway Church access point.
2. The count data for Aug 10, 2008 is provided in the appendix. The count was actually from
It: 15 AM to 12:30 PM, with the peak hour occurring from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM.
I hope this letter answers the comments sufficiently. Please call if you have any further
questions.
Sincerely,
Gregary B. Heath, P.E.

TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS — LEVEL 1
I. INTRODUCTION
The main goals of this study focus on the assessment of existing roadway conditions and
forecasts of newly generated project traffic. The first task includes the collection of
general roadway information, public transportation information, and entering sight
distance data. Forecasts of future traffic and dispersion patterns on the street system are
then determined using established trip generation and distribution techniques. As a final
step, appropriate conclusions and mitigation measures are defined if needed.
IT PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This report summarizes anticipated traffic impacts related to the Lifeway Church. The
proposed project is a 21,705 square foot church. The church currently meets at Decatur
High School off of So 320th Street. The project site is located on the southwest corner of
the SW 356th Street & 1st Avenue S intersection. The area surrounding the project is
primarily residential. Access to the project will be via an internal roadway that will
connect 1st Avenue S and 2nd Avenue SW. Buildout of the project is expected by 2011.
Figure 1 shows the general site location with the surrounding street network and primary
arterials. A site plan illustrating the overall configuration of the project is given in Figure
2.
III. EXISTING CONDITIONS
A. Existing Roadway Characteristics
The street network serving the proposed project consists of a variety of roadways.
Characteristics for these roadways vary with respect to lane widths, grades, speeds, and
function. The nearest major truckline is Interstate 5 located to the south of the project.
The major roadways and arterials surrounding the site are listed and described below.
1st Ai,enue S is a north -south, two-lane to multi -lane arterial which borders the east edge
of the project. The speed limit along the roadway is posted at 35 mph. Pavement
surfacing consists of cement/asphalt concrete with shoulders comprised of gravel or
bordered by curb, gutters and sidewalks. Lane widths are roughly 12 feet while grades
are in the range of 0 to 6 percent.
SW 356th Street is a multi -lane major arterial with a two way left turn lane that borders
the north side of the site. The posted speed limit along the roadway is 40 mph and the
pavement surface is comprised of asphalt concrete. Lane widths are approximately 12
feet while the roadway is generally bordered by curb and gutters. Grades along the road
are generally mild and fall within the range of 0 to 6 percent.

B. Transit Service
A review of the King County Metro system map indicates that the nearest bus route
serves the Pacific Highway corridor.
C. Sight Distance at Access Driveways
Analysis was made of the existing roadways near the site. According to AASHTO
guidelines for a 35 mph design speed approximately 390 feet of entering sight distance is
needed and for a 40 mph design speed 445 feet of entering sight distance is needed to
ensure safety for project traffic exiting the site. Based on established standards and field
notes, sight distance appears to be acceptable in both directions at the access locations on
SW 356th Street and 1st Avenue S.
D. Non -Motorist Traffic
Pedestrian and bicycle traffic was observed during site visits. The area does not have a
significant amount of non -motorist traffic and no impact is expected on the local roadway
system.
IV. FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
A. Trip Generation
Trip generation is used to determine the magnitude of project impacts on the surrounding
street system. Data presented in this report for the PM Peak hour was taken from the
Institute of Transportation Engineer's publication Trip Generation, Seventh Edition. The
designated land use for this project is defined as Church (LUC 560). The new church will
serve the existing members that meet at Decatur High School. A trip generation study
was performed at the school after a Sunday church service to capture the volumes of
attendees. The study was performed Sunday August 10, 2008 from 11:15 AM to 12:30
PM. The peak hour for the church was calculated to be the 11:30 to 12:30 interval. This
study captured exiting volumes and the peak hour of travel when church members are
arriving would have generally the same volumes. The trip generation count showing
inbound and outbound church trips during the Sunday peak hour can be found in the
appendix.
Table 1 on the following page, shows the project volumes for the Average Weekday
Daily Traffic (AWDT), PM peak hour, and the Sunday peak hour.
The weekday trips are representative of church activities such as group studies and youth
group. The Lifeway Church plans on having a group study once a week and youth group
meetings once or twice a week. Weekday project trips during the PM peak time should
be minimal as church meetings typically are not held during the normal PM peak travel
time of 4 to 6 PM.

B. Trip Distribution and Assignment
Trip distribution describes the process by which project generated trips are dispersed on
the street network surrounding the site. The specific destinations and origins of the
generated traffic primarily influences the key intersections, which will effectively receive
the bulk of project impacts. The trips generated by the project are expected to follow the
general trip pattern as shown in Figure 3 on the following page. Figure 3 gives a best
guess estimate of how traffic is likely to travel to and from the site during the critical peak
hour. As shown in the figure, 40 percent of traffic is expected to come from the west on
SW 356th Street (the 5 percent in the circle represents traffic coining to and from the
residential areas nearby), 25 percent to and from the east on SW 356th Street, 5 percent to
and from the south on 1st Avenue S, and 30 percent to and from the north on 1st Ave S.
C. Queuing and Access
The City of Federal Way has requested an analysis of the adjacent intersection of SW
356th St & 1st Ave SW to determine if queuing for the northbound approach would
interfere with exiting church traffic. The distance from the northbound approach stop bar
to the project access is roughly 200 feet. The northbound intersection approach is
widened to provide separate lanes for left, through, and right turn movements. This
widening is provided to accommodate the higher volumes during the school and evening
peak hours. Lower volumes are expected during the Sunday peak hour. Significant
storage is therefore provided for queued northbound vehicles. The queue would not
likely impede movements from the church access on 1st Avenue SW, however in the
event of any blocking, the alternate access to the west via the future 2nd Avenue SW is
available. A count will be taken as requested during the Sunday peak hour, and can be
provided along with queuing analysis in an addendum to this report.

V. SUMMARY
The Lifeway Church project proposes to construct a 21,705 square foot church on the
southwest corner of SW 356th Street & 1st Avenue S. The church will serve existing
members that currently meet at Decatur High School. The project will be a mild
generator of traffic during the week with an estimated 14 PM peak trips expected. A trip
generation study found that during the Sunday peak hour, 138 trips access the current site.
The project is expected to have little impact during the weekday AM and PM peak hours.
Mitigation for the Lifeway Church is as follows.
1. Complete street improvements and dedicate right-of-way across the project frontage
as required by the City of Federal Way.
2. Extend SW 358th Street from 1st Avenue S to 3rd Avenue SW.
3. Extend SW 360th Street along the southern property line from the east edge of the
property to 3rd Avenue SW.

Proposed Residential Development
Retreat Meadows Residential Plat
(and 35dh Church Site)
SW 35e Street & 1' Avenue
Federal Way, Washington
Job: LandmarkHm.356thSt.RG
INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE
This report summarizes our site observations and provides geotechnical
recommendations and design criteria for the proposed Retreat Meadows Residential Plat to be
located south of SW 3561h Street in Federal Way, Washington. The project site is adjacent to
a commercial (church) project site that was included in our site evaluation. The geotechnical
recommendations provided in this report are for both sites. The general location of the site is
shown on the Vicinity Map, Figure 1.
Our understanding of the project is based on our discussions with you and Mr. Stuart
Scheuerman of ESM (civil engineer), a review of the preliminary plans provided, and on our
experience in the area. We understand that current plans call for creating several new
roadways and residential lots with associated driveways and utilities. The site configuration
and topography is illustrated on the Site Plan, Figure 2.
The purpose of our services is to evaluate the surface and subsurface conditions at
the site as a basis for addressing the Federal Way Critical Areas Ordinance as well as
providing geotechnical recommendations and design criteria. Our scope also includes
evaluating the potential of stormwater infiltration/detention. Specifically, our scope of services
for this project included the following:
1. Reviewing the available geologic, hydrogeologic and geotechnical data for the site
area.
2. Evaluating the shallow subsurface conditions at the site by observing open test pits at
the site.
3. Addressing the appropriate geotechnical regulatory requirements for the proposed site
development, per any City of Federal Way CAO requirements.
4. Providing geotechnical recommendations for site grading including site preparation,
subgrade preparation, fill placement criteria, suitability of on -site soils for use as
structural fill, temporary and permanent cut and fill slopes, and drainage and erosion
control measures.
5. Providing recommendations and design criteria for conventional foundation and floor
slab support, including allowable bearing capacity, subgrade modulus, lateral
resistance values and estimates of settlement. i.�EIVE®

6. Providing recommendations and design criteria for the design of conventional
subgrade/retaining walls, including backfill and drainage requirements, lateral design
loads, and lateral resistance values.
7. Providing recommendations for pavement subgrade preparation.
B. Providing appropriate IBC seismic design parameters for the proposed residential
structures.
9. Providing recommendations for either stormwater infiltration or detention. Where
embankments are required, we will include recommendations for construction of the
embankment.
SITE CONDITIONS
Surface Conditions
The proposed 356th residential plat is located in an area of established rural and high
density residential development. The subject property consists of several adjoining tax parcels
that are generally rectangular in shape. The site is bounded by SW 35e Street. Several new
roadways will be constructed for the project, 2nd and 3`d Avenue SW extensions and SW 360t'
Street. The commercial site located to the northeast is bounded by 1st Avenue SW on the east
and 356'h Street on the north. The sites are bounded by existing residential development on the
southeast, west and south. The proposed site configuration for the development is illustrated
on the Site Plan, Figure 2.
Portions of the Retreat Meadows site area developed with existing residential structures
and detached buildings, generally in the north and southeast. The church site is also developed
with existing residential structures in the northeast and east. Existing gravel driveways extend
through the site to these properties. These structures will be removed during the proposed site
development.
The project site is situated on a local topographic ridge with the northeast portion of the
site extending down the east margin of the ridge. The ground surface at the site is flat to gently
sloping with localized moderately sloping areas in the southwest and east. Slopes at the site
range from approximately 5 percent to 20 percent, with isolated steeper areas reaching 25
percent. The site topography and slopes of 15 to 39 percent are illustrated on the Site Plan,
Figure 2. No slopes of 40 percent or steeper were observed on the site.
The majority of the site is currently vegetated with second growth timber consisting of a
mix of conifer, alder and maple trees. A moderate to dense understory of vine maple, native
wandering blackberry, and occasional huckleberry, holly and salal occurs throughout the site.
Localized areas of invasive blackberry and grasses occur, particularly in the northeast portion of
the site where localized clearing has occurred. Vegetation around the existing residences
consists of ornamental grass, shrubs and trees. No evidence of standing water, seeps or
springs were observed on the site. No evidence of erosion or slope instability was observed at
the site or the adjacent areas.
Site Soils
The subject property is located in an area mapped by the Soil Survey for Pierce
County (USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service web soil survey as Alderwood gravelly
sandy loam (AgC) soils in the northwest, Everett gravelly sandy loam (EvC & EvB) northeast
and south. The Alderwood soils are derived from glacial till and are classified as having a
"moderate" potential for erosion when exposed. The Everett soils are typically derived form
glacial outwash. An excerpt from the NRCS soils map for the site area is included as Figure
3.
As previously stated, we observed no evidence of significant erosion at the site at the
time of our site visit.

Site Geology
According to the Geologic map of the Tacoma North 7.5-minute Quadrangle Pierce
County, Washington in review (Troost, K.G., Booth, D.B., and Borden, R.K.), the site is in an
area underlain by glacial outwash deposits (Qvr). Based on our site observations, the south
portion of the site is more characteristic of glacial till (Qvt). The outwash and till deposits
were deposited during the Vashon stade of the Fraser Glaciation, approximately 12,000 to
15,000 years ago. The outwash deposits generally consist of a poorly stratified mixture of
sand and gravel that may locally contain silt, cobbles or boulders. The Vashon glacial till was
deposited at the base of the advancing glacial ice and subsequently overridden by the glacial
ice. As such, the glacial till is considered densely consolidated offer high strength
characteristics. The outwash deposits are considered normally consolidated and offer
moderate strength characteristics. An excerpt of the Geologic Map is attached as Figure 4.
Subsurface Conditions
Our interpretation of the subsurface conditions at the site are based on our site
observations, data review, test pits excavations and experience in the area. We monitored
the excavation of sixteen test pits at the site on two occasions. The test pits ranged from
approximately 5.5 to 14 feet in depth and generally confirmed the mapped stratigraphy. In
general, the test pits encountered 1/2 to 1-foot of forest duff and topsoil mantling sand and gravel
with variable amounts of silt, cobbles and boulders. We interpret this sand and gravel material
to be recessional outwash deposits. The test pits on the north portion of the site encountered
the sand and gravel to depths of 6 feet to 11 feet. Glacial till was encountered in the remaining
areas of the site at depths of 3 to 5 feet below the ground surface. Glacial till was encountered
at depth in all of the test pits excavated at the site.
The recessional outwash sand with gravel and weathered till soils were in a medium
dense to dense condition. The outwash and weathered glacial till was underlain by dense to
very dense glacial till. Occasional zones of groundwater seepage was observed throughout the
site, generally above the dense glacial till. We also observed localized mottling of the soils in
the upper portion of the glacial till in several of the test pits in the west portion of the site. These
conditions would suggest a seasonal perched groundwater condition may occur on portions of
the site above the dense glacial till. Perched groundwater typically develops when the vertical
infiltration of precipitation through a more permeable soil is slowed at depth by a deeper, less
permeable soil type. The greatest volume of perched water will likely occur in late spring or
early summer, following the wet weather season.
Landslide Hazard Indicators — per City of Federal Way Municipal Code, Chapter 18.24
The City of Federal Way Municipal Code, Chapter 18.24 defines geologically
hazardous areas because of their susceptibility to erosion, landsliding, seismic or other
geological events are not suited to commercial, residential or industrial development
consistent with public health or safety concerns. Landslide hazard areas are those areas
potentially subject to episodic downslope movement of a mass of soil or rock including but not
limited to the following areas:
a. Any area with a combination of:
1. Slopes greater than 15 percent;
2. Permeable sediment (predominately sand and gravel) overlying relatively
impermeable sediment or bedrock (typically silt and clay); and
3. Springs or groundwater seepage.
b. Any area which has shown movement during the Holocene epoch, from 10,000 years ago
to the present, or which is underlain by mass wastage debris of that epoch.
Land markH m. RetreatMeadows. RG

c. Any area potentially unstable as a result of rapid stream incision, stream bank erosion or
undercutting by wave action.
d. Any area located in a ravine or on an active alluvial fan, presently or potentially subject to
inundation by debris flows or flooding.
e. Those areas identified by the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation
Service as having a severe limitation for building site development.
f. Those areas mapped as Class U (unstable), UOS (unstable old slides), and URS (unstable
recent slides) by the Department of Ecology.
g. Slopes having gradients greater than 80 percent subject to rockfall during seismic shaking.
Erosion Hazards — per City of Federal Way Chapter 18.24
The City of Federal Way Municipal Code, Chapter 18.24 defines erosion hazard areas
as generally consisting of areas having severe to very severe erosion hazard due to natural
agents such as wind, rain, splash, frost action or stream flow. The Everett and Harstine soils
mapped in the site area are listed as having a "moderate" potential for erosion when exposed.
These soils are also listed as being well drained to moderately well drained and having a
rapid to moderately rapid permeability, respectively.
No evidence of erosion or slope instability was observed at the site at the time of our
site visit.
Seismic Hazards — per City of Federal Way Chapter 18.24
The City of Federal Way Municipal Code, Chapter 18.24 defines seismic hazard areas
as those areas subject to severe risk of earthquake damage as a result of seismically
induced ground shaking, slope failure, settlement or soil liquefaction, or surface faulting.
These conditions occur in areas underlain by cohesionless soils of low density usually in
association with a shallow groundwater table.
According to the Seismic Zone Map of the United States contained in Figure 16-2 of
the 1997 IBC (International Building Code), the project site is located within Seismic Risk
Zone 3. Based on the subsurface conditions observed at the site, we interpret the structural
site conditions to corresponds with a seismic Soil Profile type So, (Site Class "D") as defined
by Table 1615.1.1 in the 2003 IBC documents. This is based on the likely range of equivalent
SPT (Standard Penetration Test) blow counts for the soil types observed in the site area.
These conditions were assumed to be representative for the conditions beyond the depths
explored. Structures located at the site that are constructed in accordance with the appropriate
seismic criteria will have the same risk as other designed structures in the Puget Sound area.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the results of our data review, site reconnaissance, subsurface explorations
and our experience in the area, it is our opinion that the site is suitable for the proposed
residential and adjacent commercial (church) development. Grading at the site is expected to
be limited to localized cuts and fills to meet the design grades. Conventional footings may be
utilized in areas of medium dense to dense native soil, or where structural fill material is
placed and properly compacted. The infiltration of stormwater runoff from the roadways will
not likely be feasible at this site as currently laid out. The infiltration of roof runoff is feasible
based on the amount of grading that occurs at the site. Based on the layout of the
commercial development in the northeast, the infiltration of stormwater may be feasible based
on the final grades and locations of the facilities. In general, thicker areas of recessional
sand and gravel were encountered in test pits located in the southeast portion of the
commercial site.

Pertinent conclusions and geotechnical recommendations regarding the design and
construction of the proposed development are presented below.
Landslide Hazards— per City of Federal Way Chapter 18.24
The City of Federal Way Municipal Code, Chapter 18.24 uses the above referenced
checklist to define a landslide hazard area.
Slopes greater than 15 percent were observed on the site, but no impermeable
sediment or groundwater seepage were observed. No areas of historic mass movement is
mapped or observed on the site. No areas of stream incision, stream bank erosion or
undercutting by wave action were observed at the time of our site visit. No ravines or on an
active alluvial fan were observed on or adjacent to the site at the time of our site visit. The
USDA SCS maps the Everett and Alderwood soils on the site as having "moderate"
limitations for building site development. No slopes greater than 40 percent were observed
on the site at the time of our visit.
Based on our observations of the site and review of published information, the site
does not have any above listed indicators and therefore is not classified as an active landslide
hazard area.
Steep Slope Hazard Indicators — per City of Federal Way Municipal Code, Chapter 1824
The City of Federal Way Municipal Code, Chapter 18.24 defines steep slope hazard
areas as those areas with a slope of 40 percent or greater and with a vertical relief of 10 or
more feet, a vertical rise of 10 feet or more for every 25 feet of horizontal distance. A slope is
delineated by establishing its toe and top and measuring the inclination over at least 10 feet
of vertical relief.
We did not observe any slopes of 40 percent or greater on the site.
Erosion Hazards — per City of Federal Way Chapter 18.24
Based on our site observations and explorations, it is our opinion that conventional
erosion control measures will provide adequate erosion mitigation at this site. We recommend
that temporary and permanent erosion control measures be installed and maintained during
construction or as soon as practical thereafter, to limit the influx of water onto exposed soils
and/or disturbed areas. Erosion control measures should include, but should not be limited
to, berms and swales with check dams to direct surface water runoff, ground cover/protection
in exposed areas and silt fences where appropriate. Graded areas should be shaped to
avoid concentrations of runoff onto cut or fill slopes, natural slopes or other erosion -sensitive
areas. Temporary ground cover/protection such as jute matting, excelsior matting, wood
chips or clear plastic sheeting may be used until the permanent erosion protection is
established.
Seismic Hazards — per City of Federal Way Chapter 18.24
The City of Federal Way Municipal Code, Chapter 18.24 defines seismic hazard areas
as those areas subject to severe risk of earthquake damage as a result of seismically
induced ground shaking, slope failure, settlement or soil liquefaction, or surface faulting.
These conditions occur in areas underlain by cohesionless soils of low density usually in
association with a shallow groundwater table.
Based on our review of the subsurface conditions, we conclude that the site soils are not
susceptible to liquefaction. The near -surface soils are generally in a medium dense to condition
and the static water table is located below the soils encountered at the site. Shaking of the
already dense soil is not apt to produce a denser configuration and subsequently excess pore
water pressures are not likely to be produced.
LandrnarkHm. RetreatMeadows. RG
February 6, 2008
Page 6
Liquefaction is a phenomenon where there is a reduction or complete loss of soil
strength due to an increase in water pressure. The increase in pore water pressure is
induced by seismic vibrations. Liquefaction mainly affects geologically recent deposits of
loose, fine-grained sands that are below the groundwater table. Based on the density and
coarse -grained nature of the glacially derived soils observed on the site, and the lack of a
groundwater table, it is our opinion that the risk for liquefaction to occur at this site during an
earthquake is negligible.
Site Preparation
Areas to be graded should be cleared of deleterious matter including any existing
structures, foundations, abandoned utility lines, debris and vegetation. The portions of the
site still covered with vegetation should be stripped of any forest duff and organic -laden soils.
These materials can be stockpiles and later used for erosion control or should be removed
from the site.
Where placement of fill material is required to meet the design grades (on either site),
the stripped/exposed subgrade soil areas should be compacted to a firm and unyielding
surface prior to placement of any fill. Excavated areas for the stump or debris removal should
be backfilled with structural fill compacted to the densities described in the "Structural Fill"
section of this report.
We recommend that a member of our staff evaluate the exposed subgrade conditions
after removal of vegetation and topsoil stripping is completed and prior to placement of
structural fill. The exposed subgrade soil should be proof -rolled with heavy rubber -tired
equipment during dry weather or probed with a 1/2-inch-diameter steel rod during wet
weather conditions.
Any soft, loose or otherwise unsuitable areas delineated during proofrolling or probing
should be recompacted, if practical, or over -excavated and replaced with structural fill, based
on the recommendations of our site representative. The areas of old fill material should be
evaluated during grading operations to determine if they need mitigation; recompaction or
removal.
Structural Fill
All material placed as fill associated with mass grading, as utility trench backfill, under
building areas, or under roadways should be placed as structural fill. The structural fill should
be placed in horizontal lifts of appropriate thickness to allow adequate and uniform
compaction of each lift. Fill should be compacted to at least 95 percent of MDD (maximum
dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM D-1557).
The appropriate lift thickness will depend on the fill characteristics and compaction
equipment used. We recommend that the appropriate lift thickness be evaluated by our field
representative during construction. We recommend that our representative be present during
site grading activities to observe the work and perform field density tests.
The suitability of material for use as structural fill will depend on the gradation and
moisture content of the soil. As the amount of fines (material passing US No. 200 sieve)
increases, soil becomes increasingly sensitive to small changes in moisture content and
adequate compaction becomes more difficult to achieve. During wet weather, we
recommend use of well -graded sand and gravel with less than 5 percent (by weight) passing
the US No. 200 sieve based on that fraction passing the 3/4-inch sieve, such as Gravel
Backfili for Walls (9-03.12(2)). If prolonged dry weather prevails during the earthwork and
foundation installation phase of construction, higher fines content (up to 10 to 12 percent) will
be acceptable.
LandmarkHm.RetreatMeadows. RG
February 6, 2008
Page 7
Material placed for structural fill should be free of debris, organic matter, trash and
cobbles greater than 6-inches in diameter. The moisture content of the fill material should be
adjusted as necessary for proper compaction.
Fill placed on slopes that are steeper than 5 to 1 should be "keyed° into the
undisturbed native soils by cutting a series of horizontal benches. This includes landscape
areas that may be constructed in the south portion of the site. The benches should be
1 %2 times the width of equipment used for grading and a maximum of 3 feet in height.
Subsurface drainage may be required in seepage areas. Surface drainage should be
directed away from all slope faces. Some minor raveling may occur with time. All slopes
should be seeded as soon as practical to facilitate the development of a protective vegetative
cover or otherwise protected.
We understand that stormwater collected at the site will be directed to an approved
stormwater detention ponds located in the south portion of the site. Where necessary to
utilized constructed pond embankments, we recommend that they be constructed of select fill
material and include keyways that extend into the native soils a minimum of three feet. The
embankments should be constructed of impermeable soil material, such as glacial till, silt.
clay or an appropriate mixture of these low permeability materials. Alternatively, a geotextile
liner or soil liner be utilized to limit seepage at the interface of the native and fill materials.
Typically, geotextile liners consist of 30-millimeter thick synthetic material placed as an apron
on the embankment slope. Soil liners are typically constructed with a minimum of 12-inches
of material containing a minimum of 30 percent fines (minus 200). Specific recommendations
can be provided based on your choice of materials.
Suitability of On -Site Materials as Fill
During dry weather construction, any non -organic on -site soil may be considered for
use as structural fill; provided it meets the criteria described above in the structural fill section
and can be compacted as recommended. If the soil material is over -optimum in moisture
content when excavated, it will be necessary to aerate or dry the soil prior to placement as
structural fill. We generally did not observe the site soils to be excessively moist at the time
of our subsurface exploration program.
The native outwash soils encountered in the north portion of the site generally consist
of sand and gravel with varying amounts of cobbles, boulders and silt. These soils are
generally comparable to "common pit run" material and will be suitable for use as structural fill
provided the moisture content is maintained within 4 percent of the optimum moisture level.
The underlying glacial till soils contain a higher fines content and will likely be unsuitable for
use as structural fill during or following extended periods of wet weather. If earthwork is
accomplished during drier portions of the year, the till soils are suitable for use as structural
fill, but can be disturbed if wet conditions occur.
We recommend that completed graded -areas be restricted from traffic or protected
prior to wet weather conditions. The graded areas may be protected by paving, placing
asphalt -treated base, a layer of free -draining material such as pit run sand and gravel or
clean crushed rock material containing less than 5 percent fines, or some combination of the
above.
Cut and Fill Slopes
All job site safety issues and precautions are the responsibility of the contractor
providing services/work. The following cut/fill slope guidelines are provided for planning
purposes only.
Temporary cut slopes will likely be necessary during grading operations or utility
installation. As a general guide, temporary slopes of 1.5H:1 V (Horizontal:Vertical) or flatter
LandmarkHm.RetreatMeadows. RG
February 6, 2008
Page 8
may be used for temporary cuts in the upper 3 to 4 feet of the soils that are weathered to a
loose/medium dense condition, where as temporary slopes as steep as 3/4H:1V can be used
in the very dense unweathered glacial till. Where ground water seepage is encountered,
flatter temporary slopes may be required. These guidelines assume that all surface loads are
kept at a minimum distance of at least one half the depth of the cut away from the top of the
slope and that significant seepage is not present on the slope face. Flatter cut slopes will be
necessary where significant raveling or seepage occurs.
We recommend a maximum slope of 2HAV for permanent cut and fill slopes in areas
of medium dense sand and gravel. It should be recognized that slopes of this nature do ravel
and require occasional maintenance. Where raveling or maintenance is unacceptable, we
recommend that flatter slopes or retaining systems be considered. Where 2H:1V slopes are
not feasible in these soils, retaining structures should be considered. Where retaining
structures are greater than 4-feet in height (bottom of footing to top of structure) or have
slopes of greater than 15 percent above them, they should be engineered.
Foundation Support
Based on the encountered subsurface soil conditions encountered across the site, we
recommend that spread footings for the new residences be founded on dense to very dense
native glacial till or on structural fill that extends to suitable native soils.
The soil at the base of the excavations should be disturbed as little as possible. All
loose, soft or unsuitable material should be removed or recompacted, as appropriate. A
representative from our firm should observe the foundation excavations to determine if
suitable bearing surfaces have been prepared, particularly in the areas where the foundation
will be situated on fill material.
For residential structures, we recommend a minimum width of 2 feet for isolated
footings and at least 16 inches for continuous wall footings. All footing elements should be
embedded at least 18 inches below grade for frost protection. Footings founded as described
above can be designed using an allowable soil bearing capacity of 2,500 psf (pounds per
square foot) for combined dead and long-term live loads. The weight of the footing and any
overlying backfill may be neglected. The allowable bearing value may be increased by one-
third for transient loads such as those induced by seismic events or wind loads.
For the proposed commercial structure in the northeast, we recommend that the
foundation elements be extended into the dense native soils or placed on adequately
compacted structural fill. Footings founded in accordance with these recommendations may
be designed using an allowable soil bearing capacity of 3,000 psf for the combined dead and
long term live loads. All footing subgrades should be evaluated by a geotechnical
professional prior to the placement of foundation forms.
Lateral loads may be resisted by friction on the base of footings and floor slabs and as
passive pressure on the sides of footings. We recommend that an allowable coefficient of
friction of 0.35 be used to calculate friction between the concrete and the underlying soil.
Passive pressure may be determined using an allowable equivalent fluid density of 300 pcf
(pounds per cubic foot). Factors of safety have been applied to these values.
We estimate that settlements of footings designed and constructed as recommended
will be less than 1 inch, for the anticipated load conditions, with differential settlements
between comparably loaded footings of 1/2 inch or less. Most of the settlements should
occur essentially as loads are being applied. However, disturbance of the foundation
subgrade during construction could result in larger settlements than predicted.

Floor Slab Support
Slabs -on -grade should be supported on the medium dense or denser native granular
soils or on structural fill prepared as described above. Any areas of old fill material should be
evaluated during grading activity for suitability of structural support. Areas of significant
organic debris should be removed.
We recommend that residential floor slabs be directly underlain by a capillary break
material with minimum 4-inch thickness of coarse sand, pea gravel, or gravel containing less
than 3 percent fines. Commercial slabs should be underlain by a minimum of 6-inches of
capillary break material. The drainage material should be placed in one lift and compacted to
an unyielding condition.
A synthetic vapor barrier is strongly recommended to control moisture migration
through the slabs. This is of particular importance where moisture migration through the slab
is an issue, such as where adhesives are used to anchor carpet or the to the slab. All
commercial slabs should be underlain by synthetic vapor barriers specifically designed for
that purpose. During dry periods, a thin layer of sand may be placed over the vapor barrier
and immediately below the slab to protect the barrier material/liner during steel and/or
concrete placement. The sand layer is not recommended during wet weather conditions as it
will act as a moisture source following concrete placement.
A subgrade modulus of 400 kcf (kips per cubic foot) may be used for floor slab design.
We estimate that settlement of the floor slabs designed and constructed as recommended,
will be 1/2 inch or less over a span of 50 feet.
Pavement Subgrades
Pavement subgrade areas should be prepared as previously described in the site
preparation section of this report. The prepared subgrade should be evaluated by proofrolling
with a fully -loaded dump truck or equivalent point load equipment. Soft, loose or wet areas
that are disclosed should be recompacted or removed, as appropriate. Over -excavated areas
should be backfilled with compacted structural fill and sub -base material.
Site Drainage
All ground surfaces, pavements and sidewalks at the site should be sloped away from
the structure. Surface water runoff should be controlled by a system of curbs, berms,
drainage swales, and or catch basins, and conveyed to an appropriate discharge point.
Based on our site evaluation, it is our opinion that the infiltration of stormwater at the site
should be limited to roof water from the individual residence, if appropriate. We understand
that run-off from the new residential driveways and roadway areas will be collected and
conveyed to an engineered stormwater detention pond to be located in the southwest corner
of the subject property. Any embankment construction required should be completed with
suitable silty soils (greater than 25 percent fines by weight or minus No. 200 US Sieve).
Alternatively, the embankment may be lined with a suitable non -permeable liner material.
Where infiltration is utilized for the individual residences, we recommend an infiltration
rate of 15 minutes per inch for the sandy soils. An appropriate factor of safety should be
utilized.

This report describes the results of an effort to locate and identify any cultural resources (cultural,
historical or archaeological materials or sites) on a 24-acre parcel owned by 356`h Management
LLC and Lifeway Church. The subject property is comprised of a mix of undeveloped forest and
single-family residences in Federal Way, Washington. It is the intent of 356`h Management LLC
and Lifeway Church to subdivide -the extant parcels into a residential subdivision surrounding a
new church.
Drayton Archaeological Research LLC (DAR) was contracted to conduct an archaeological
investigation for the proposed development. DAR conducted a site file search at the Department
of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP), background research, fieldwork, and
production of this report. The subject property was visually surveyed, 40 shovel probes (SPs)
were excavated, photographs and notes were taken, and this report was produced to present the
findings and DAR recommendations. No cultural materials were encountered during this
assessment. The likelihood for encountering intact cultural deposits at this site is considered low
and DAR found no reason for further archaeological investigations in connection with the
development. The fieldwork was completed on September 6, 2007.
Introduction
Regulatory Environment
As part of the requirements for developing property in the State of Washington, certain projects
are required to complete an Environmental Checklist to comply with the State Environmental
Policy Act (SEPA) under Chapter 43.21c RCW. Although to the knowledge of DAR the project
has not triggered SEPA, this report would meet those established standards. The SEPA is
administered through the WAC 197-11-960 Environmental checklist. This administrative tool
allows the municipal and state governments the ability to insure that the degradation of the human
Drayton Archaeological Research L.L.C. Technical Report 0807E
Page 3 of20
environment is being accounted for in combination with development. The proponent's
obligations listed in the SEPA checklist for cultural resources are as follows,
13. Historic and cultural preservation
a. Are there any places or objects listed on, or proposed for, national,
state, or local preservation registers known to be on or next to the
site? If so, generally describe.
b. Generally describe any landmarks or evidence of historic,
archaeological, scientific, or cultural importance known to be on or
next to the site
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts, if any.
A professional archaeologist who meets the standard set forth by the United States Secretary of
the Interior completed this report and it fulfills the State of Washington's SEPA requirement for
cultural resource accounting. The municipal authority administering a SEPA checklist would be
the City of Federal Way, King County Washington. The applicable cultural resource management
laws and regulations that apply to SEPA projects are the Revised Code of Washington (RCW)
27.5 3Archaeological sites and resources and 27.44Indian graves and records
Proposal and Project Location
The proposed project is a mixed used area consisting of a eight single-family residences on a
relatively undeveloped hillside located in the eastern '/z of Section 30, Township 2 1 N Range 4E
on the Poverty Bay (1994) 7.5' quadrangle, King County (Figures 1 and 2). The project proposes
to subdivide the extant parcels into 70+/- individual parcels for a residential subdivision and a
large evangelical church complex (Figure 3). The project area is surrounded by mixed residential
property on all sides but the south, where Illahee Middle School is situated. The project area is
located at the southwest intersection of South 356th Street and 1st Ave South, Federal Way,
Washington.

The project site is located on the sides and atop rolling forested terrain. The majority of the 24-
acre area is undeveloped although eight single-family residences will be razed or relocated. No
perennial watercourses exist in the project area and although basin shaped area exists permitting
possible seasonal ponded water on the easternmost portion of the project area. The subject
property is located nearly a mile north of the King and Pierce County boundary. This boundary is
also the border of the Puyallup Indian Reservation placing the project area outside the original
reservation boundaries. The immediate vicinity around the parcels has been moderately
developed; single-family residences and their corresponding access streets are situated in every
cardinal direction and new developments are under construction on nearby undeveloped lots.
Geological Setting
The project area is situated atop an upland landform mantled with Pleistocene age glacial till and
recessional outwash. The outwash is comprised of stratified sand and gravel and is generally
lightly oxidized Booth et al. 2004 The westernmost po6ions. of the project area borders on what
is geologically mapped as ice -contact deposits that are similar to the recessional outwash
deposits, but are usually less well sorted and have a greater silt content. The glacial material was
largely deposited during the Vashon Stade of the Fraser Glaciation. Glacial ice was last present in
the Seattle and Tacoma areas from about 15,000 to 13,500 years ago; during this short span the
processes of glacial recession left large amounts of till and outwash, making up most of the
present day topography of the Puget lowland.
The southwest foot of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet (CIS) advanced and retreated a number of times
beginning in the Pleistocene epoch and continuing until about 13,500 years ago. Specifically in
Western Washington, the southwestern most extension of the CIS formed the `Puget Lowland'
(PL) between the Olympic Mountains and the Cascade Range. The low Willapa Hills define the
southern limit of the ice advance in the PL (Alt and Hyndman 1984). During the maximum extent
of ice age Glaciation, most of the northern third of Washington lay beneath a nearly continuous
sheet of glacial ice (Easterbrook 2003). Products of the most recent advance of the Puget Lobe of
the CIS (during the Vashon Stade of the Fraser Glaciation about 15,000 years ago at furthest
extent) provide the best picture of ice sheet growth and decay because they have not been
overlain with subsequent glacial movement. The advancing ice sheet deposited voluminous
sediment on a proglacial outwash plain that extended from the Olympic Mountains to the Cascade
Range (Haugerad 2003). This outwash is recognized as the `great lowland fill' (Booth and
Goldstein 1994). The lowland fill is approximately 3000 feet thick under Seattle, and 2000 feet
Drayton Archaeological Research L.L.C. Technical Report 0807E
Page 7 of 20
thick under Tacoma (bedrock appears south of Olympia). Each time the glacier advanced, it
modified the previously existing topography and deposited new glacial till. Outwash sediments in
front of the advancing glacier were often destroyed and reworked by the glacier. The most recent
and final Vashon Stade of glaciation modified the deposited `lowland fill' in several ways: by the
deposition of basil till, which was then shaped into drumlins, and by the excavation of deep linear
troughs now occupied by large lakes and the marine waters of Puget Sound (Booth and Goldstein
1994). Though we know that the CIS advanced at least 3 times during the Pleistocene, only
deposits of the final glaciation, known as the Vashon Stade, (approx.15,000-13,500 years ago)
can be differentiated with certainty.
In 1973, the Natural Resources Conservation Services (MRCS), through the USDA conducted a
study to classify soils in King County. The sediments found within the area of include Alderwood
gravelly sandy loam 6-15% slope, Everett gravelly sandy loam 0-5% slopes, and Everett-
Alderwood gravelly sandy loarlis- 6-15% slopes (Snyder et al. 1973). The sediments exposed
during DAR's fieldwork appeared to be fairly consistent with the Alderwood-Everett association
and likely represent areas of stabilized glacial deposits. A greater sandy silt content was noted on
the eastern aspect of the project area. The Alderwood Series soils are moderately drained
gravelly, undulating to hilly soils that overlay glacial till with slopes generally from 0-30%
(Snyder et al. 1973). Alderwood gravelly sandy loam is formed in glacial till and is one of the
most extensive soils on the broad uplands of King and Pierce Counties. The Everett association
soils are somewhat excessively drained, gently undulating gravelly soils located on terraces.
Environmental Setting
The project area is situated on gently sloping terrain that may be the margins of a terrace of the
West Branch of the Hylebos Creek located ca. '/z-mile to the east. The Hylebos Creek is a
tributary to the Puyallup River that drains into Commencement Bay, a geologically dynamic
floodplain in the Puget Sound basin. The Puget Sound basin is a central component of the Puget —
Willamette Trough, a north to south oriented structural basin located between the Pacific Coast
Range to the west and the parallel Cascade Range to the east. The trough extends southward from
the Canadian border to Oregon where it merges with the Willamette Valley, its physiographic and
geologic continuation (Easterbrook and Rahm 1970:42; Franklin and Dyrness 1973:16). The
Puget Sound basin is a depressed, partially submerged area; the present topography is a result of
Pleistocene glaciations. The general area slopes gently toward the Puget Sound and contains
Drayton Archaeological Research L.L.C. Technical Report 0807E
Page 8 of 20
many lakes and poorly drained depressions underlain by glacial drift (Franklin and Dymess
1973:17).
Prior to clearing, vegetation would have been typical of the Puget Sound area Tsuga hetrophylla
vegetation zone (Franklin and Dymess 1973:44-5). The precontact environment consisted of an
overstory dominated by Western hemlock, Douglas fir, and Western Red cedar. Large areas
would have differed from the broader regional pattern however, with areas of prairie, oak
woodland, and pine forest being distributed throughout the southern Puget Sound basin (Franklin
and Dymess 1973:88). Current vegetation on site is forest regrowth composed of many native and
nonnative species of tree with a somewhat open understory consisting of salal, Himalayan
blackberry, sword fern and various other low growing shrubs and trees.
Historic and Ethnohistoric Context
The historical investigation of:an area, to include archaeological, relies upon a diq,cnssion of the
past inhabitants to appreciate the full spectrum of possible occupational remnants. rIt is also
important to broadly discuss the land use relationship of the setting specifically and the general
occupation of the area along the Puyallup River. The occupation of the lower Puget Sound region
could date back 11,000 years, but the Commencement Bay tide flats and Puyallup River marshes
and islands were not conducive to utilization until after approximately 5,600 years (Forsman et al.
1998). Prior to that time it was likely that the upland areas were islands, analogous to the present
offshore islands of Puget Sound.
Expected site types in the general area include marine shell middens, burials, petroglyphs and
saltwater shoreline occupation and/or fishing sites in the areas along the river and bay (Wessen
1985). The lower areas around the Puyallup River delta are rich with history and have long been
used by regional inhabitants for myriad purposes. Known archaeological materials exist at the
mouth of the Puyallup River, along the coast at places like Dash Point, and along the shoreline of
the Thea Foss Waterway. The latter having been buried by construction fill and river deposits
(Baldwin and Brown 2006; Munsell 1981; Smith 1907; Weaver 2005).
The project area is located within the traditional territory of the Puyallup, Southern Coast Salish
speakers of the southern dialect of the Lushootseed language. The Puyallup traditionally occupied
the areas around Commencement Bay and the drainages of two rivers, the White and the
Puyallup, where they followed a seasonal round for resource procurement (Smith 1940). Land
Drayton Archaeological Research L.L.C. Technical Report 0807E
Page 9 of 20
types utilized within the river valleys included prairies, foothills, and uplands. Grazing areas for
horses and camas fields were located on prairies. The foothills contained materials for basketry,
wild berries and various species of game. The tidelands of Commencement Bay and Vashon
Island were utilized for salmon and various shellfish. Salmon were caught in fish weirs
constructed in strategic locations.
The main Puyallup village (S'Puyallupabsh) was located near the mouth of the Puyallup River
(Suttles and Lane 1990). Smith (1940) places the location near the current intersection of 15t' and
Pacific Avenue in Tacoma. Numerous springs drained to the base of the hill in the area, likely
around 15t' Street. A village, decimated by disease, was still occupied when Euro American
settlers first appeared in the mid-1800s. Other resources along the shore include a burial near the
intersection of East 24 Street and Dock Street (Wickersham 1900), shell middens along the
Puyallup River (Smith 1907) and Commencement Bay (Wickersham 1900), and a fish weir at the
moufA.of Wapato Creek (Munsell 1981).
Not much of S Puyallupabsh remained when a Norwegian settler, named Nicholas DeLin, arrived
in 1852 to file a Donation Land Claim and construct a mill at the mouth of Gallagher Creek.
Although the village location was no longer being occupied, there were some Puyallup
encampments there along the shore. The surrounding area was swampy and DeLin dammed the
mouth of the creek to flood the low areas for log storage. Attempts to establish businesses and
homesteads in the area by DeLin and others who followed were not successful. Settlement
developed north of there in what is now Old Town Tacoma.
The Puyallup Indian Reservation was created after the signing of the Medicine Creek Treaty on
December 26, 1854. It was enlarged in 1856 to include the mouth of the Puyallup River. The
1884 allotment act enabled individuals to sell tide flats, resulting in reducing the reservation to its
present size.
As with much of the Puget Sound area, the location of the project area was historically used for
the abundant timber resources. The Federal Way area was named due to the Pacific Highway
South (Route 99), a federally constructed road that connects Seattle and Tacoma (Phillips 1971).
The General Land Office map (USSG 1868) covering the project delineates the historic roadway,
but does not indicate any land claims in the vicinity. By 1931 portions of the land adjacent to the
highway were sold to pay for a community high school. By the 1950s, the name Federal Way was
Drayton Archaeological Research L.L.C. Technical Report 0807E
Page 10 of 20
adopted. Federal Way now exists largely as a bedroom community to the economic centers of
Tacoma and Seattle with significant population booms since the 1970s.
Relatively few archaeological investigations have been conducted in the general vicinity of the
project area, most located nearer Interstate 5 to the east. Several project have been conducted in
the Tacoma area as the historic downtown area has experienced revitalization. Palmer and Palmer
(1996) completed a comprehensive documentation of historic structures in and around the old
downtown and provide an excellent overview of the history Tacoma. Projects closer to the
present project area include Luttrell 2003, Forsman et al. 2003, Sparks and Montgomery 2005,
and Cooper 2005. DAR has conducted work within the city, on the uplands above Tacoma, and
south of I-5 along the uplands (Baldwin et al. 2007; Baldwin 2006; Baldwin and Brown 2006a-c;
and Baldwin et al. 2006a and 2006b). Forsman et al. 2003 provides a comprehensive review of
the Hylebos Creek history and ethnography.
Recorded archaeological sites on the upland areas are rare. There are no recorded sites within a
mile of the subject property. Roughly two miles to the southwest is 45PI47, the Wapato Creek
Fish Weir (Gamer 1959; Solland and Stenholm 1963; and Munsell 1980, respectively). Luttrell
recorded 45KI719, an historic stone foundation to a residential structure just over a mile to the
northeast.
Expectations
It is assumed that indigenous people with the choice would have settled nearer to the Puyallup
River or at the mouth of local drainages and used the project area for peripheral resource
gathering and, perhaps, processing of the collected resources. The proposed project location is on
an eastern and southern aspect of a hill or terrace slope above Commencement Bay and the mouth
of Hylebos Creek. This location is removed in elevation and distance from the water and would
have been heavily forested. It seems more likely that archaeological materials would be located
near the shore and at the mouth of the river (Forsman et al. 1998; Munsell 1981; Palmer and
Palmer 1996; Smith 1907; Smith 1940; Weaver 2005).
Although no prehistoric sites have been recorded within a mile of the project area, it is highly
likely that native inhabitants traveled upstream along the West Branch of the Hylebos for
resources such as for cattails for mats, terrestrial hunting; or fishing as the creek offers seasonal
runs of Coho, Chum and Chinook salmon. Village and/or occupation sites in the area were known
Drayton Archaeological Research L.L.C. Technical Report 0807E
Pagell of20
to be located along the water. Activity that is also expected in close proximity to villages is burial
or body disposal sites. The immediate project area is less likely to contain archaeological
resources, however due diligence was applied to all levels of the field investigation.
Field Methodology
DAR assessments are conducted preferably in a systematic fashion, successively increasing the
intensity of methods from surface survey to subsurface excavation. However there are site areas
where inconsistencies in development or terrain demand judgmental testing strategies or
provisions implemented to adapt to conditions. In the case of this field examination, the sporadic
single-family residences and surrounding manicured landscapes were not tested. Based on
landscape modification during homebuilding, the field archaeologists determined that testing the
relatively undisturbed areas would be a more prudent approach to finding intact archaeological
deposits.
DAR field investigations usually begin with a visual examination of the project area surface to
locate any exposed cultural material or features. This method of survey permits the field
investigator(s) a general understanding of the landscape and where the most likely locations for
resource gathering or habitation might be located. Following surface survey the project area is
systematically tested by subsurface probe excavation, if only to record a soil profile. Probes may
take a number of differing forms including mechanical testing, bucket auger, or shovel probing.
For the subject project, shovel probes were used.
Standard DAR shovel probes (SPs) consist of cylindrical cavities, approximately 50 cm in
diameter. The predetermined target depth for DAR SPs is roughly to contact with glacial till,
generally about 60-80 cm. However, individual depths of SPs are ultimately determined by
subsurface conditions in each hole and are individualized for project areas. Sediment and soil
excavated from SPs is examined and passed through'/4" mesh hardware screen. Details regarding
the location, depth, sediments encountered and general setting is recorded for each SP. The
probes are backfilled and their locations recorded on project maps. Artifacts, if recovered from
the SPs in unrecorded sites or isolate areas, are collected when previous arrangements or
directions from the landowner have not been formalized. Subsurface investigations included the
excavation of 40 shovel probes.

Results
The field investigation was conducted in a systemic fashion. Field investigations occurred on
September 6, 2007. Weather conditions during the survey were partly cloudy and warm with no
precipitation. Surface survey and inspection was planned for this project, however after initial
assessment of the area it was determined a comprehensive subsurface survey would be more
appropriate while visual examination of surface features would occur during the shovel probe
excavation. One unpaved access road leads from the northern boundary, South 356`h Street, to a
house at the southernmost part of the project area. Other driveways provide access to the
residences on the northern and eastern portions of the subject property.
The shovel -testing program was comprehensive and consisted of 40 SPs across the parcel (Figure
4). Due to the discussed archaeological expectations and relatively low probability for finding
cultural resources, SPs were excavated in six north to south transects. All SPs were recorded and
plotted on a field map (Figure`s). These three transects gathered subsurface dated along the
eastern and western slopes and the hilltop itself. Areas not investigated were those that contained
too steep of a slope to be considered even remotely likely for finding evidence of past cultural
land use.
Figure 4. Heavy undergrowth in the project area nullified the pedestrian survey leading to a thorough
shovel probe regiment

SPs were excavated as 45-50 cm diameter pits and excavated to a predetermined target depth of
80 cm (about 2.5 ft); however, individual depths of the SPs were ultimately determined by the
geological conditions present in each soil test location and other subsurface conditions, e.g. tree
roots or subsurface soil compaction. All sediment excavated from the probes was carefully
examined and evaluated by hand and samples were passed through'/4" hardware cloth. All
excavated SPs were completely backfilled, and locations were marked on a working project map.
The exposed deposits depicted relatively uniform gravelly sandy loam to a depth of 2 to 3 feet,
consistent with the Alderwood soil series.

Figure 5. Location of excavated shovel probes (SPs) within the project area.
No cultural materials were identified during the investigation. The subsurface sediments exposed
within the SPs was somewhat variable but usually consisted of a thin layer of partially
decomposed forest duff overlying gravelly sandy loam with various amounts of gravel and a
range of compaction; some probes were extremely difficult to dig while others, usually along the
eastern transects (SPs 17-40), consisted of a higher sand and silt content and thus were easier to
Drayton Archaeological Research L.L.C. Technical Report 0807E
Page 14 of20
excavate. The gravels and some yellowish brown sands present are related to deposits of the
Alderwood Everett Association as described in the Geologic Setting section of this report.
Several probes contained small amounts of charcoal fragments, likely the result of either forest
fire or fired brush piles after the land was initially cleared of timber.
Recommendations
The assessment of the 356t' Management LLC and Lifeway Church Development Project has
been conducted by a professional archaeologist who meets or exceeds the criteria set forth in
RCW: 27.53 for professional archaeological reporting and assessment. Based on the results of
surface observation and sub -surface testing the likelihood of encountering or impacting
significant archaeological site deposits during the development of the residential subdivision is
low. Previous landscape impacts including logging and construction of the surrounding
residential developments have altered the natural landform and presumably any cultural
constituents that may have been located there. It is DLa ae 1 '
that the VWject as it is currently proposedt c e al worL
All notes, photographs, drafts, and documents produced as a result of the presented investigation
are being retained at the office of Drayton Archaeological Research L.L.C. Copies of the
complete record may be obtained by formal letter request to Garth L. Baldwin at the address
provided on the title page.
DAR recommends that the project proponents be familiar with the provisions of Washington
State laws, RCW 27.53.060 and RCW 27.44.040. The Revised Code of Washington Chapter
27.53.060, Archaeological Sites and Resources, protects known prehistoric and historic
archaeological sites within the state that are located on public and private lands and makes it a
crime to intentionally destroy an archaeological site. In the unlikely event that archaeological
materials are encountered during the development of the property, an archaeologist should
immediately be notified and work halted in the vicinity of the finds until they can be inspected
and assessed.
The Revised Code of Washington Chapter 27.44.040, Indian Graves and Records, protects Native
American graves within the state that are located on public or private lands. These laws
specifically state that the willful removal, mutilation, defacing, and/or destruction of Indian
burials constitute a Class C felony. In the unlikely event that a burial should be encountered
Drayton Archaeological Research L.L.C. Technical Report 0807E
Page 15 of 20
during development of the property, all work in the vicinity must stop immediately and efforts to
contact the Washington Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAB?) and the
proper Federal Way city authorities should be initiated. If archaeological materials are located all
work should stop and a professional archaeologist should be retained to evaluate the extent of the
material and site delineation can be made. In the event that skeletal material or archeological
materials are encountered during development, all work should stop immediately and efforts to
contact Stephenie Kramer of the DAHP, the Federal Way Police, and cultural resource staff of the
Puyallup Tribe, should be undertaken immediately.

Re: Wetland and Stream Determination
SWC Job #A8-123
Mr. Budd,
Per your request we have inspected your property for jurisdictional wetlands and streams on and
within 315-feet of the property. The property is located at 119 SW 356th Street (parcels
3021049036 and 3021049118) Federal Way, Washington.
METHODOLOGY
Sewall Wetland Consulting, Inc. visited the site on March 26, 2008. A combination of field
indicators, including vegetation, soils, and hydrology was used to determine whether wetlands
are present on the site. The site was inspected using methodology described in the WashinRECEIVED
State Wetlands Identification Manual (WADOE, March 1997). This is the methodology
currently recognized by the City of Federal Way and the State of Washington for wetland NOV 1 4 2008

determinations and delineations. Wetland areas would also be considered wetlands when using
the methodology described in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual
(Environmental Laboratory, 1987/1989), as required by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Streams would be identified by the presence of a naturally defined channel that contains flowing
surface water at some time of the year.
OBSERVATIONS
The site has been historically disturbed through logging and land grading activities. However,
the majority of the site appears to haven been left undisturbed for the last several years.
Dominant vegetation on the property included Big Leaf Maple (Ater macrophyllum), Black
Cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), Red Alder (Alnus rubra), Bitter Cherry (Prunus
emarginata),Vine Maple (Ater circinatum), Indian Plum (Oemleria cerasiformis), Red
Elderberry (Sambucus racemosa), Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), Scot's broom (Cytisus
scopairus), Himalayan Blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica), Salal
(Gaultheria shallon), and Sword Fern (Polystichum munitum).
Soil pits excavated on the property revealed a 16-inch layer of gravelly sandy loam with a color
of 1 OYR 3/3. Soils on the property were dry within 16-inches of the soil surface.
According to the City of Federal Way Zoning and Wetland Atlas, there is a wetland located
along the southern property boundary. An early growing season field investigation revealed that
this area is comprised of Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) FAC+, Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis)
FAC+, Black Cottonwood (Populus balsamifera) FAC+, Indian Plum (Oemleria cerasiformis)
FACU, and western trillium (Trillium ovatum) FACU.
Soil pits excavated within the area revealed a 4-inch layer of gravelly, sandy loam with a color of
10YR3/3, from 4-6 inches soil colors were 1 OYR 3/4 and from 6-16 inches the soil matrix color
was 10YR 3/2 with few fine distinct redoximorphic features. However, soils within this area
were dry during the time of our field investigation. Since the soils were dry from the surface to
below a depth of 16 inches, it is highly unlikely that the presence of soil saturation to the surface
would be present for more than 5 percent of the early growing season.

SECTION I
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Lifeway Church project is located at the southwest corner of 1st Avenue SW, and SW 356th
1 Street. North side of the property abuts SW 356th St and across the street there is a senior
citizens complex, to the east across I" Ave. SW there is single family residential subdivisions, to
the south abuts the single family homes and the Illahee Middle School complex and to the west
sides abuts a proposed single family residential development. The project is in Section 30,
Township 21 North, Range 4 East.
The project contains around 8.85 acres. The site has two residential homes, garages and a few
outbuildings, all to be removed. The site is currently covered with trees and heavy underbrush.
The property generally slopes in a south or easterly direction, with slopes mostly under 15
percent. There appears to be one small area where slopes are above 15 percent. The access to the
site will come from 1st Ave. SW. and from the future 2nd Ave.
The proposal is to develop a local church complex for a congregation which has outgrown its
current location. The church plans to develop the project over several phases. The main
infrastructure systems, sewer, water and storm will be built in their entirety under phase I. The
sanitary sewer and water will come from Lakehaven Utility District. The sewer system will be a
low pressure system utilizing a grinder pump system which will connect to a main pressure line
running through the proposed new residential subdivision discharging into a new gravity
manhole near the northeast corner of SW 35e St. and 3rd Ave. SW. Water will come from a
main line in 1st Ave. SW which will loop west around the building and then back to 1st Ave. SW.
It will not connect to the water system in the proposed new residential subdivision because they
will be in different pressure zones.
The site is located within Federal Way's "Hylebos Creek" drainage basin. The site is situated in
one sub -basin which generally flows towards 1st Ave. SW and on to the Hylebos Creek. There is
a new conveyance system under 1st Ave. SW which consist of a 12" pipe system starting at a
catch basin on the west side of 1st Ave. SW going east under this street to the other side to
another catch basin. It continues south along the east side of the road about 130 feet to another
catch basin where it turns east and discharges to an open field. This field appears to have -some
wetland areas within it along with an open pond.
This site is within the City of Federal Way which uses the 1998 King County Surface Water
Design Manual (KCSWDM) which allows continuous rainfall/runoff modeling for the
stormwater system design. A water quality facility will be part of the detention ponds creating a
combined detention/wetpool facility also using the requirements set forth in the 1998 King
County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM). This site is in the City of Federal Way's
Basic Water Quality Area and the Level 1 Flow Control Area.

REVIEW OF STORMWATER REQUIREMENTS
FROM CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
The City of Federal Way follows the 1998 KCSWDM, which has eight core requirements and
five special requirements.
KCSWDM - Core Requirement No. 1— Discharge at the Natural Location
There is only one sub -basin which drains in an easterly direction to the Hylebos wetlands and
creek. The proposed developed conditions will continues to flow to this same discharge point.
KCSWDM - Core Requirement No. 2 — Offsite Analysis
"All proposed projects must submit an offsite analysis report that assesses potential offsite
drainage impact associated with development of the project site and proposes appropriate
mitigation of those impacts." (See Section III of this report for the downstream review)
KCSWDM - Core Requirement No. 3 — Flow Control
The flow control facility will be based on the City of Federal Way standards, the proposed onsite
improvements (buildings, parking lots, and driveways) will introduce more than 10,000 square
feet of new impervious area; therefore, onsite storm water flow control is required. The project
would propose to design a detention pond to a Level 1 Flow Control standard as set forth in the
1998 KCSWDM.
KCSWDM - Core Requirement No. 4 — Conveyance System
"All engineered conveyance system elements for proposed projects must be analyzed, designed
and constructed to provide a minimum level of protection against overtopping, flooding, erosion,
and structural failure as specified".
The City of Federal Way's conveyance requirements for a new system are per Section 1.2.4.1.of
the City's Addendum to the KCSWDM "New pipe systems shall be designed with sufficient
capacity to convey and contain (at a minimum) the 25-year storm peak flow, assuming
developed conditions for onsite tributary areas and existing conditions for any offsite tributary
areas." The new conveyance system analysis and design will be done during the final stage of
development for this project.
KCSWDM - Core Requirement No. 5— Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Will apply during the final design review.
KCSWDM - Core Requirement No. 6 — Maintenance and Operations
Will apply during the final design review.

PAGE
Fede 1st Way 9600 Suite 200
Federel Way. WA 9B003
KCSWDM - Core Requirement No. 7 -- Financial Guarantees and Liabili
Will apply during the final design review.
KCSWDM - Core Requirement No. 8 — Water Ouali
The City of Federal Way's water quality requirements are per Section 1.2.8 of the City's
Addendum to the KCSWDM "All proposed projects, including redevelopment projects, must
provide water quality (WQ) facilities to treat the runoff from new and/or replace pollution -
generating impervious surfaces and pollution -generating pervious surfaces." This site is located
within a Basic Water Quality Treatment Area as identified on the City of Federal Way Water
Quality Applications Map. The proposal will be to utilize a wetpond for water quality.
KCSWDM -Special Requirement No. 1— Other Adopted Area -Specific Re uirements
No other specific requirements are known for this site.
KCSWDM -Special Requirement No. 2 -- FloodWain/Floodway Delineation
The 100-year Flood Plain does not enter this site.
KCSWDM -Special Requirement No. 3 — Flood Protection Facilities
This requirement does not apply since the project is outside any defined floodplains.
KCSWDM -Special Requirement No. 4 — Source'Controls
"Water quality source controls prevent rainfall and runoff from coming into contact with
pollutants, thereby reducing the likelihood that pollutants will enter public waterways and violate
water quality standards." A combined detention and wetpool facility is proposed for water
quality treatment of runoff from the paved surface subject to vehicular traffic, prior to discharge
into the downstream public drainage system.
KCSWDM -Special Requirement No. 5 — Oil Control
After reviewing Section 1.3.5 of the KCSWDM, this site should not be classified as a high use
site, and oil control should not be required.
SUMMARY
The stormwater runoff from the project site will be collected from the roof/impervious areas,
grass and landscaped areas, and conveyed through a pipe system to the onsite combined
detention/wetpond facility and then discharge to the natural discharge location.

Soils Information
The City of Federal Way's and. King, County Soils Survey by the US Soils Conservation Service
(1973) generalizes the soils in the vicinity of this project as Alderwood Series; AgC and Everett
Series, EvD and Everett/Alderwood Series, EwC. The Alderwood soils are made up of mostly
poorly draining soils that have a weakly consolidated to strongly consolidated substratum at a
depth of 24 to 40 inches. The Everett soils are made up of somewhat excessively drained soils
that are underlain by very gravelly sand at a depth of 18 to 36 inches. The Everett/Alderwood
soils are about equal parts Everett and Alderwood soils. See enclosed soils map and soils
descriptions.

OFFSITE ANALYSIS
This off -site review will follow the City of Federal Way guidelines.
City of Federal Way.
-� The following is a Preliminary Level I Downstream Analysis, which looks at the drainage
system 1/4 mile downstream of the site along with the five tasks outlined under the Level I
Downstream Analysis. (See Overall Drainage Map in Appendix).
The five Tasks are: Task 1 - Study Area Definition and Maps
Task 2 - Resource Review
Task 3 — Field Inspection
Task 4 — Drainage System Description and Problem Screening
Task 5 — Mitigation
Task 1— Study Area Definitions and Maps
See Figure III — A within this report, there is an overall drainage map showing the project site
and the downstream drainage path for the sub -basin leaving the site.
Task 2 — Resource Review
The sub -basin discharge within the City of Federal Way, so a review of their downstream system
was conducted.
Task 3 — Field Inspection
See below the field inspections done for this proposed project.
Task 4 — Drainage System Description and Problem Screening
The overall drainage basin drains east towards 1 st Ave. S. There are no developed drainage
{ channel between the project site and 1st Avenue South. A wetland area identified as 30-21-4-143
on the City of Federal Way Zoning Map 94 consists of very dense brambles with coniferous and
deciduous trees, however, a wetland report enclosed indicates there is no wetland in this area.
_l After crossing 1st Avenue South in a new conveyance system the area drops off further to the
1 southeast towards a pond which appears to be at or near the edge of a portion of the Hylebos
Creek Wetland Area identified on Zoning Map 99 as 20-21-4-121.
-� There is a newer conveyance system under 1st Ave. SW which consist of a 12" pipe system
starting at a catch basin on the west side of 1st Ave. SW going east under this street to the other
side to another catch basin. It continues south along the east side of the road about 130 feet to
another catch basin where it turns east and discharges to an open field. This field appears to have
some wetland areas within it along with an open pond.

The Hylebos Creek area has been studied as part of the Hylebos Creek and Lower Puget Sound
Basin Plan. This specific area is identified as Sub -Catchment WH4 and showed heavy grass
cover along the east side of 1st Avenue South to the small pond. No signs of erosion or other
flood damage were apparent during the site visit.
The existing storm system under 1st Ave SW appeared to be functioning adequately. However,
there is evidence that excessive flows have overtopped the road and flowed passed the catch
basins. No permanent damage was apparent.
Task 5 — Mitigation
Since there are no known drainage issues with the downstream system, the proposed mitigation
would be to follow Federal Way's "Level 1" detention and their "Basic" water quality
requirements in the 1998 KCSWDM.

Resources has determined by the King County Flow Control Applications Map that a Level 1
Flow Control application would be appropriate for this area. The City of Federal Way's Flow
Control Map also shows this area as a Level 1.
The proposal is to design the detention pond using a "continues rainfall/runoff modeling" which
will be KCRTS. It will discharge, per Table 1.2.3.A of the KCSWDM, "match the existing 2-
year to 10-year peak flow, which is generally a Level 1.
Existing Site Hydrolorry
Existing conditions on the Lifeway Church site consists of large trees, underbrush, a few
buildings and gravel driveways all in a forest condition. Using KCRTS the basin will be modeled
as till forest, as detailed in the area delineation table below:

WATER QUALITY
Reviewing the Federal Way Surface Water Resources Map, the "basic water quality" is required
for this project.
The proposed Lifeway Church will utilize a combined detention/wetpool facility as mitigation
for water quality.
The following are wet pond calculation sheets from KCSWDM.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Purpose of Checklist:
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental
agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An
environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant
adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide
information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid
impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is
required.
Instructions for Applicants:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about our proposal.
Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the
most precise information known, or give the best description you can.
You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most
cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans
without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not
apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply." Complete answers to the
questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark
designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies
can assist you.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period
of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe
your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask
you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if
there may be significant adverse impact.
