BACKGROUND
Pursuant to City Council Resolution 92-122, application for minor modifications to the
preliminary plat of Heritage Woods are subject to the procedures of the Federal Way City Code
(FWCC) Chapter 22, Article 6, Use Process I.
Under Use Process I, the Director of Community Development Services renders a written
decision after considering all of the information and comments submitted on the matter and based
upon the decisional criteria in FWCC section 22-394. The criteria includes the following:
1. It is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan;
2. It is consistent with all applicable provisions of the zoning code; and
3. It is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare.

Modification Request — UPR96-0032
Page 2
FINDINGS
The site is located in a Residential Single Family (RS9.6) zoning district. The site is
designated Single Family High density in the 1995 Comprehensive Plan "Cityshape".
2. Heritage Woods preliminary plat was approved by the City Council on October 22, 1992.
The subject open space tract of the Heritage Woods preliminary plat (exhibit 2) will be
dedicated to the City of Federal Way and is approximately 4.1 acres in size.
4. The 1992 preliminary plat approval was conditioned to include construction of a double
tennis court facility. The tennis court condition of the preliminary plat approval was at the
request of the city's Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department.
Public parks in residential zones require Process III land use review. Condition #5 of the
preliminary plat approval and the park condition were discussed in the 1992 staff report and
City Council preliminary plat approval for Heritage Woods. The preliminary plat review and
approval included review and approval of the public park under Process III review.
6. Pursuant to City Council Resolution 92-122, application for minor modifications to the
preliminary plat of Heritage Woods are subject to the procedures of FWCC Chapter 22,
Article 6, Use Process L
7. The request to change the condition of preliminary plat approval (from a double tennis court
to amended lawn and tree area) is a minor modification using the decisional criteria in FWCC
section 2-113(e) as follows:
a) The change will not increase or change the residential density of the plat.
b) The change will not result in the relocation of any access point to any exterior street
from the plat.
c) The change will not result in any loss of buffering or open space area, the change may
result in the initial loss of additional trees internally in the plat, however, additional trees
are proposed to be planted with the revised proposal.
d) The change does not significantly alter the project. If approved, park facilities for a
larger segment of the population will be provided due to the general nature of the open
field area compared to a tennis court. Adverse impacts and undesirable effects will not
result from modifying the physical park improvements from a tennis court to an open
grass field.

The proponent of this Process I land use application is the City of Federal Way Parks,
Recreation, and Cultural Services Department. The city will be responsible for operation and
maintenance of the public park facility when constructed by the developer (Parklane
Ventures), and accepted by the city.
9. David Morrison of Parklane Ventures is the developer of Heritage Woods. In a September
19, 1996, letter to Barbara Simpson of the Parks Department (exhibit 3), Mr. Morrison
agreed to the revision of preliminary plat condition #5 as proposed.
10. The Community Development Services Department published a notice of subject request in
the Federal Way News on September 28, 1996, posted three notice boards along Military
Road South, and at each of the official notification boards of the city. The 14 day comment
period expired on October 14, 1996. No written or verbal comments were received regarding
the application.
11. The Heritage Woods preliminary plat was submitted for application in 1991, and reviewed
under the 1990 Comprehensive Land Use Plan, and the 1991 Comprehensive Park,
Recreation, and Open Space Plan. The application to revise condition #5 of the preliminary
plat was received in August 1996, and is being reviewed pursuant to the City of Federal Way
1995 Comprehensive Park, Recreation, and Open Space Plan.
12. The City of Federal Way 1995 Comprehensive Park, Recreation, and Open Space Plan
identifies in section VII, page 39, that the proposed Heritage Woods public park is classified
as a Neighborhood Park.
13. Section VI, page 2, of the comprehensive park plan identifies that under Standard
Neighborhood Park Policies (SNP) 4, appropriate facilities for neighborhood parks include:
• Children's playground.
• Unstructured open play area for general recreation.
• Paved game court.
• Picnic area.
• Trail system.
• Natural open space.
• Drainage corridors.
• Other possible facilities: restrooms, picnic shelter buildings, and tennis courts.
Tennis courts are not generally located at neighborhood parks due to the small size of
neighborhood parks, and the limited user base of tennis courts. Unstructured open play areas
are common facilities for neighborhood parks.
Heritage Woods Preliminary Plat
Modification Request — UPR96-0032
Page 4
14. Under section VI, page 3, of the parks plan, tennis courts are identified as an appropriate
facility at a community park, which are larger and serve more population than a
neighborhood park.
15. Condition #5 of the Heritage Woods preliminary plat approval also requires the developer to
provide signage regarding the historical aspect of Old Military Road. This application does
not request to modify the condition of signage for Old Military Road, and this element still
applies to the project.
16. The revised proposal embodies design principles that protect the public health, safety, and
welfare by providing a public play field accommodating a wider variety of the population
beyond users of tennis courts.
CONCLUSIONS
The proposal has been reviewed for compliance with the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan, the
Federal Way Comprehensive Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan, pertinent zoning
regulations, and other applicable city regulations. The proposal meets the decisional criteria of
Process I review. Based on the findings and conclusions of this review, approval of the condition
modification is recommended and the revised condition #5 is shown below.
This decision shall not waive compliance with future City of Federal Way codes, policies, or
standards relating to this decision.
REVISED CONDITION #5
The developer will construct a minimum improvement of a 140 foot by 200 foot irrigated,
soil amended lawn area graded and seeded to Parks Department standards, and 12 park
trees. There shall be $50, 000.00 expended for construction and material, and the developer
shall provide records at no cost to the city of all labor, materials, and equipment associated
with the park development. Additional park amenities will be constructed by the developer if
any of the $50, 000.00 budget remains after the lawn area and trees are installed. The Parks
Department will provide the park improvement design of the lawn area, trees, and irrigation
system at no cost to the developer. The developer will also erect a sign or monument
regarding "Old Military Road" as approved by the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural
Services Department Director.

Dear Community Development:
Nov 0 4 1996
RE: Heritage Woods
I am writing on behalf of the city's Parks and Recreation Commission.
We have seen your public notice pertaining to the change from a single
tennis court to an open meadow for a portion of the required open space
in the above -mentioned development off Military Road.
The Parks and Recreation Commission would like to go on record favoring
the open meadow concept. This approach would offer residents and the
neighborhood a more varied opportunity for outdoor recreation in both
an active and a passive mode.
Thank you for your ongoing efforts to make Heritage Woods, and other
new housing developments, positive additions to our community.
Yours truly,
PL-

I am in receipt of Jennifer Schroder's letter to Greg Moore, a copy of
which is attached. We are in full agreement with the terms and conditions for
revising the park development plan from double tennis courts, to an irrigated,
amended lawn area and trees. We will post a Bond in the amount of $50,000 to
apply to the development of these park improvements, which your department
will design and we will construct to your specifications, and we will pay a
maximum of $50,000 toward the cost of design, inspection, development
approval and any applicable fees or water and power connection fees..
As you know we agreed to these revisions provided that The City agreed
to permit the deferment of park improvements after the plat is recorded, as time
does not permit the park to be designed and constructed, before the final plat of
Division 1 is recorded. We will use best efforts and co-operate with The City to
develop the park as soon as time and weather permits.

Dear Greg:
The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department requests a change to RZ 910001
Exhibit 15 Park and Open Space as approved by the Hearing Examiner. This section states
"Therefore the City will require dedication of the subdivision's proposed usable open space.
The applicant has agreed to dedicate this area to the City, and construct a double -wide tennis
court for public use (refer to exhibit R)." Exhibit R states "Parklane Ventures agrees to
construct a full double -wide tennis court to Parks Department specifications in Tract A at a
location to be selected by your department." Please see attached site location map.
Subsequent to the above agreement and approval the likely tennis court location was inspected
and found to be better suited to an irrigated, amended lawn area and trees. The value of the
double tennis court is approximately $50,000. The irrigated lawn area and trees are expected
to cost the developer $50,000 to construct. The Parks Department requests to change the
agreement to substitute "minimum improvement of a 140' x 200' irrigated, soil- amended lawn
area graded and seeded to Parks Department standards and 12 park trees; additional park
amenities will be constructed by Parklane if any budget remains after the lawn area and trees
are installed" for "double -wide tennis court".
We also request that Parklane post a $50,000 bond to ensure construction of the above
improvements. The Parks Department requests that the full amount of $50,000 be expended
for construction and materials for the above minimum improvements and agreed upon
additional improvements if any budget remain. We request that no part of this amount be
expended for any other purpose than construction and materials and that Parklane provide
records at no cost to the City of all labor, equipment and materials costs associated with this
construction to the maximum amount of $50,000. The Parks Department will provide the park
improvement design, at no cost to Parklane, of the lawn area and trees, irrigation system and
parks standards. Neither the Parks Department nor Parklane will change the agreement to
expend more or less than $50,000 for park improvements. Please see attached plan for the
proposed lawn area location.
This change was approved by the City Council Parks Committee on August 12, 1996 and has
been forwarded to Full Council on September 3, 1996 for final approval. Please see attached
Committee recommendation.
We request that Division 1 Plat Approval be allowed to proceed for final Plat approval and be
recorded without the approved park improvements being completed, but with a $50,000 bond
posted by Parklane with the City; that Tract A be dedicated to the City with the recording of
Division 1; and that the approved improvements be completed by Parklane within 12 months
of the recording of Division 1 but in no event later than the recording of Division 2.

CITY COUNCIL PARKS AND RECREATION CONBUTTEE
Date: August 12, 1996
From: Jennifer Schroder, Dire
Parks, Recreation and
Subject: Heritage Woods Park
Background -
In early 1992, Parklane Ventures Inc., met with the Parks Department to determine what active
open space requirements must be met for approval of their proposed plat development.
Agreement was reached to dedicate the active open space to the City as a neighborhood park and
to construct a double tennis court on the south portion of the park tract. This agreement was
upheld by the Hearing Examiner.
Subsequent to 1992, the developer refined plans and took the project through the permitting
process. Parklane also requested reconsideration of the tennis courts in exchange for park
improvements of equal value ($50,000). The tennis court location was inspected and found to
be an exceptional location for a formal field area due to its siting at the top of the hill and
having peek views of the Sound.
The Parks Department would like to have the flexibility to work with the developer to create a
park that would be as finished as possible within the budget of $50,000. The formal field and
trees would be the first priority but other improvements that would be desirable if there is any
leftover budget would be a play area or a trail with fitness stations. The improvements would
lead more quickly to a finished usable park than the single improvement of tennis courts in an
otherwise undeveloped setting.. The plan could also allow for future court development in a
portion of the site that would be further from houses and not obscure views with chain link
fencing.
Committee Recommendation:
The Parks Department requests Council support to work with Parklane for development of a
formal field area and other improvements instead of the existing plan for a double tennis court
improvement.

From: JIM HARRIS
To: JENNYS
Subject: Heritage Woods
You had two questions about the Heritage Woods plat condition requiring
tennis court facilities.
First question: Can the condition requiring a tennis court facility be
changed to a neighborhood park through an administrative procedure? Answer:
Yes, as specified in the resolution adopting the preliminary plat, Procoq I
is the procedure for minor modification of the plat. Process I requir a
tice
in the newspaper, posting the site, and Director of Community Developm
written approval. Process I decisional criteria V contained in FWCC section
22-394. a[L[
We would need drawings of the neighborhood park to process the application,
and $1,333.00 application fee if Parklane is the applicant.
Second question: Must the park be completed in conjunction with final plat of
phase I of Heritage Woods?
Answer: Last August when David Morrison proposed phasing the plat, we
determined what requirements would need completion for phase I and phase II.
Your letter dated August 10, 1995 to David Morrison stated the park
improvements are to be completed in conjunction with final approval of Phase
I. I don't have a problem if you are reconsidering the time line for park
improvements to allow completion in conjunction with phase II of the plat. A
financial guarantee by the developer is appropriate if we defer the park
improvements to the second phase.
Let me know if you have any other questions or comments. JIMH
