RE: FILE#10-102376-AD;CHRISTIAN FAITH SCHOOL PLAY AREA,33645 20TH AVE S,FEDERAL WAY
Dear Dr. Ellington:
I am in receipt of your June 3,2010,letter regarding creation of a playground for elementary school students at
the Christian Faith School housed in the Christian Faith Center. Your letter notes that you would install a black
chain-link fence around the playground area that is a minimum of 42 inches in height,and the maximum height
of the play structure is 13.5 feet. The submitted site plan depicts a 42'x 36'play area(1,620 square feet)
located adjacent to the east entry,which is intended to accommodate no more than one class of twenty children
at any one time.
The location of the proposed playground equipment is consistent with the playground area identified on sheet
L1.5 of the Christian Faith Center Landscape Plan prepared by Abbey Road Group LLC,dated August 3,
2005,and approved by the City on September 18, 2006. The playground area is considered part of the overall
recreation area and play field uses that received Master Plan approval. This playground area is also available
for use by daycare participants.
Under Federal Way Revised Code(FWRC) 19.205.130,schools are required to have outdoor play areas with at
least 75 square feet for each child using the area at any one time, and be enclosed by a solid fence or other
screen at least 6 feet in height.' The proposed 1,620 square-foot play area accommodates up to 21 children.
The proposed playground installation is approved subject to the following conditions:
• Fencing around the play area shall be at least 6 feet in height, and shall be solid fencing or if chain-
link then it shall be screened with vegetation in accordance with FWRC.
The applicant is required to obtain a building permit for any fencing over six feet in height. However, the play
structure is exempt from building permit review pursuant to International Building Code(IBC) 105.2.
I can be reached at 253-835-2642 if you have any questions about this letter.
Sincerely, ,q

Dear Ms. Barker,
Christian Faith School would like to construct a playground for our elementary students to enjoy
outdoor play during school hours. We have worked with Wild.
wood Playgrounds Northwest who
has partnered with North Carolina State University on ideas integrating manufactured play
equipment with living landscape. The system we have selected is designed to incorporate
physical development with structured and free playtime. The playground plans are attached for
your review.
Additionally, the following details are not indicated on the drawing:
• A black chain-link fence, necessary to prevent children from running into the street
and/or potential child snatching, around the perimeter with a minimum height of 42"
• The play structure at its tallest point is 13.5 feet which will have a minimal visibility affect
next to the two story b ure of Christian Faith Center
