Re: File No. 19-100548-00-UP; TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMENTS
Security Contractor Services Inc., 34211 Pacific Highway South, Federal Way
Dear Mr. Reider:
City of Federal Way staff has reviewed your February 1, 2019, submittal of documents related to the Security
Contractor Services Process I application. City departments and other agencies as appropriate have provided
the following comments that will need to be addressed prior to written decision on the application, or as
otherwise noted. Questions regarding the technical review comments should be addressed to the referenced
staff representative. To expedite city review of any resubmittal a comprehensive and thorough response to
each item identified below should be submitted to the city.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT — PLANNING DIVISION
Jim Harris, 253-835-2652, jim.harris@cityoffederalway.com
1. The applicant and applicant's agent have stated in previous discussions with city staff that the proposed
buildings at the site are intended to be temporary. However, the application materials submitted to'the
city do not identify anything regarding these improvements being temporary.
City staff has previously stated that the proposed buildings do not meet the temporary uses section of
.Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC 19.275). In summary, a job trailer can only be located temporarily on an
active building/construction site per FWRC 19.275.080.
Since the proposed building improvements do not qualify as a Class I or Class II Temporary Use under
FWRC 19.275.020, this review is being conducted for these improvements being permanent improvements
at the site, and this development must comply with all applicable development standards in the FWRC.
2. The subject property has a history of two different Process I decisions (12-100401 UP & 15-103816 UP);
and an administrative change of use determination (12-100401 UP). It appears that the approved site plan
in the May 25, 2012, and September 11, 2015, decisions (12-100401 UP & 15-103816 UP), including but
not limited to parking lot delineation improvements, have not been completed and installed. These
improvements, including parking lot striping, ADA striping, pedestrian walkway, landscaping, etc., trust
be completed now for the site to be compliant with prior city approvals. City policy is to not grant
further approvals for properties that are not in compliance with previous land use decisions/approvals.
Mr. Matt Reider

March 18, 2019
3. In addition, the February 14, 2012, decision (12-100401 UP) approved only container and trailer parking
in the middle lot area; and allowed for overflow customer and employee parking in the lower area as
depicted on the approved site plan. As stated in the conditions of the February 14, 2012, approval, if use
of the site is modified from what was approved in the February 14, 2012, approval, then, a new review
(Process I or II) will be required to evaluate any future change of use.
Please identify in writing how the new proposal is consistent with the February 14, 2012, approval.
4. Proposal" —
A. Previous discussions with the applicant did not include the proposed 1,200 square foot canvas
storage building. For the current proposal, with two new buildings totaling 1,968 square feet, a
Process II review is required as the proposed buildings exceed 25 percent of the gross floor area of
existing buildings on the site (FWRC 19.15.030). The Process I application needs to be revised to be
a Process II for the proposed two new buildings.
B. Since the existing church building on the site is 3,952 square feet in size, then the maximum size
addition allowed on the property using Process I review is 988 square feet per FWRC 19.15.030.
The application could be revised to stay within Process I maximum thresholds for new square footage
of not more than 25 percent of the gross floor area of the existing use (on the site) by reducing the
total size of new improvements to no more than 988 square feet.
Either revise the proposal to be less than 988 square feet for a Process I application, or revise the
application to a Process II land use review.
Nonconformance — Pursuant to FWRC 19.30.090, "Nonconforming Development":
"(1) All nonconforming aspects of a development must be brought into conformance if:
"(a) An applicant proposes to add to the subject property either 2,500 square feet of new gross
floor area or more, or 25 percent of the gross floor area or more of the building(s) on the
subject property, whichever is less, within any consecutive 36-month time period commencing
at the time of building permit issuance; or
"(b) the property is abandoned."
As proposed, the 25 percent gross floor area threshold is exceeded and the site requires full compliance
for the entire property. A thorough review of the site conformance has not been conducted by city staff;
however, major nonconforming elements that would need to be brought up to current FWRC standards
include, but are not limited to, the following: vehicle circulation area site paving per FWRC 19.130.210;
perimeter landscape buffers per FWRC 19.125.060(9); parking lot landscape area per FWRC 19.125.070;
trash and recycling enclosure area per FWRC 19.125.150; and fence treatment guidelines per FWRC
19.115.090(2)(�. Site paving would then trigger stormwater upgrades to current stormwater detention and
treatment standards per FWRC 19.30.120.
6. Development Standards —Under any circumstance, the new site development/building addition will require
compliance with the following:
19-100548-00-UP Doc I.D. 78846
Mr. Matt Reider
Page 3 of 6
March 18, 2019
a. Fifteen foot minimum side yard setbacks per FWRC 19.240.020;
b. Ten foot wide perimeter Type 2 landscape per FWRC 19.125.060(9)(c) on both sides of
the middle portion of the site;
c. Identification of employee parking areas; and
d. Outdoor activity and storage area standards per FWRC 19.125.165—19.125.190,
7. Sewage - The site plan and project information submitted to the city identifies using a holding tank for
sewage in the .office, with regular pumping of the holding tank. City staff has not previously allowed this
type of sewage holding tank for commercial development. It appears not to be within the public health,
safety, and welfare, to have a permanent office facility using temporary sewage facilities within an urbanized
area where public sewer facilities are within a reasonable distance. One of the criteria for approval of a
Process I or II application is to provide for the public health, safety, and welfare (FWRC 19. 55.020).
Either connect to the public sewer system or provide written approval from the Ding County Health
Department that a holding tank is an acceptable means of providing sewage for a permanent office for
ten employees. For the city to consider this a viable proposal for sewage disposal, any documentation
from the Health Department must address the known factors that this is a permanent building; there are
ten employees at the site; and Lakehaven Sewer and Water District has sewer facilities available in the
nearby vicinity.
8. The 64 by 12 foot proposed office does not meet the city's Community Design Guidelines. The picture
of the office on the January .16, 2019, site plan would meet the design guidelines for this vicinity;
however, the picture of the trailer in the email from Reider to Harris on February 20, 2019, shows and
discusses a trailer office on axles, no skirting, mono color, etc.
The FWRC adopted Community Design Guidelines are minimal standards for commercial development
and one of the purposes of the guidelines is to maintain and protect property values and enhance the
general appearance of the City (FWRC 19.115.010[1]). The picture of the trailer emailed to city staff on
February 20, 2019, does not meet the minimum general guideline of enhancing the city.
City staff will provide flexibility in administering design guidelines for this location behind an existing
building; however, city staff cannot approve the building as proposed. At a very minimum, finishing the
base of the building (skirting or better) is required, plus some landscaping or other visual aesthetic design
treatment along the east facade of the building is requited. Major design guideline elements, such as
modulation, articulations, etc., are not required due to the building location and surrounding on -site
improvements.
PUBLIC WORKS — DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIVISION
Ann Dower, 253-835-2732, ann.dower@cityoffederalway.com
This site regularly has water quality violations. If the parking area remains graveled, the applicant is advised to
install catch basin inserts or other methods to capture silt before it enters the public storm system or stream,
and to maintain them regularly.
Doc. I.D. 78846
19-100548-00-UP
Mr. Matt Reider

March 18, 2019
If the parking lot is paved, surface water runoff will be required to meet standards in place at the time at the
time of permitting for flow control and water quality. Currently, that is the 2016 King County Surface Water
De ign Manual and the City of Federal Way Addendum to that manual. The site would have to meet
Conservation Flow Control and Enhanced Basic Water Quality standards.
The site plan must show where the 10 employees will park and any plans to revise the current parking area.
Circulation, queuing, and parking for delivery vehicles must also be shown. Provide an estimate the number
of delivery vehicles that will enter/exit the site daily.
PUBLIC WORKS — TRAFFIC DIVISION
Sarady Long, 253-835-2743, sarady.long@cityoffederalway.com
The Public Works Traffic Division has finished its review of the submitted materials. The following technical
review items must be address prior to Public Works Traffic Division approval.
Based on the submitted materials to construct a 768 square foot office to accommodate about 10
employees, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation -100, Edition, land use code
712 (Small Office Building), the proposed project is estimated to generate approximately 12 new weekday
PM peak hour trips. As such, a concurrency permit is required for this development project. The fee for
the concurrency permit application is $4,938.00 (11 - 50 trips). The applicant has the option of having an
independent traffic engineer prepare the concurrency analysis consistent with city procedures; however,
the fee remains the same.
2. Based on the submitted materials for a 768 square foot office building, the estimate total traffic impact
fee is $4,796 (2019 rate of $6.06 per square foot plus three percent administrative fee). Please note, the
actual impact fee will be calculated based on the fee schedule in effect at the time a completed building
permit application, or land use process approval, is filed and paid prior to permit issuance.

• Certificates of Water and Sewer Availability issued separately by Lakehaven may be required to be submitted
with any land use and/or building permit application(s) (check with land use agency for requirement). The
certificates are valid for one year from the date of issuance. If certificates are needed, allow one to two working
days to issue for typical processing. The 2019 cost for a Certificate of Availability is $70.00 ($140.00 for both).
• Fire flow at no less than 20 psi available within the existing water distribution system is a minimum of
2,500+ GPM (approximate) for two hours or more. This flow figure represents Lakehaven's adopted
minimum level of service goals for non-residential areas regarding performance of the existing water
distribution system under high demand conditions.
• The site has an existing water service connection 0/8" x'/4" meter). The existing meter needs to be
evaluated under UPC and Lakehaven standards to determine if it's adequate for the proposed use.
• The site has an existing sewer service connection.

Good Morning Jim,
Thank you for getting back to me and leaving a voicemail. I appreciate hearing your questions ahead of the internal DRC
meeting that you are holding on 2/28/19. As you can imagine Security Contractor Services are excited to receive
approval in a timely manner so Williams Scotsman (Willscot) will deliver the trailer.
I hope to provide answers to your questions:
1. The brochure provided on the site plan depicts accurate layout and schematics of the trailer that SCS will be
using; however, they do not intend to use a "dolled" up version as the brochure shows. For example, SCS will
not be covering the bottom of the trailer with a skirt and then planting landscaping around it.
2. The job site trailer has a holding tank for sewage similar to a portable toilet (aka Porta Potty). Willscot has
included monthly pumping in their maintenance service with SCS. The pumping service is just like the ones uses
to pump out porta-potties.
Below is an actual Willscot trailer similar to the one depicted in the brochure on the site. As you can see it is not "dolled
up" like the one shown in the brochure.
4L
I hope this information provides some clarity. If there is anything else I can help answer please let me know.

Thank you for your time and help!

We don't. I suppose, with proper O&M of what they're proposing, that would sufficiently manage
wastewater generated from the proposed office trailer. However, if it's going to be a permanent type
installation, we'd strongly recommend a sewer service connection. And I would kind of suspect that Health
Department may have comment on this (may not allow it, with sewer service at/on/to the property).

RE: Process I - Review of Minor Site Improvements of Existing Development
Dear Mr. Hansen:
Please accept this project narrative on behalf of Security Contractor Services (SCS) for their
proposed site improvements on property located at 34211 Pacific Highway South. SCS is
seeking permit approval from the City of Federal Way so that they can place a mobile sales
office trailer on the property. ESM has been retained to help SCS with the Process I Land Use
Process. It is our hope that the following project narrative provides the City with enough
information to conduct their review.
EXISTING SITE DETAILS
The 3.2-acre parcel is zoned for Community Enterprise. The developed lot is primarily flat,
however, there is a 15-foot elevation change that occurs midway down the property. This
topographic condition delineates the upper and lower gravel parking lot The principle building
and use on the site is a 3,952 square foot building that has been used by New Community
Church for congregation and similar church activities. The existing church building is
surrounded by asphalt pavement. A sight -obscuring fence with sliding gate is located
approximately 40 feet behind the building and spans the width of the parcel. Chain link fence
surrounds the perimeter of the existing gravel lot behind the church building. Vinyl slats have
been added to the fence along the South property line to clearly delineate the property boundary
and to provide security. Vinyl slats have not been installed along the fence north of the sliding
gate so that entering and exiting sight distances are not obstructed. Beyond the gravel parking
lot is a forested area to remain as -is. In addition to the New Community Church, past uses have
included contractor storage and tractor trailer parking as evident on Google Maps and King
County iMap.

PROPOSED SITE IMPROVMENTS DEfA{LS
Security Contractor Services is looking to continue the use of contractor storage yard for their
business. A mobile sales office trailer will be brought on site and located approximately 6 feet
behind the sight obscuring fence with sliding gate. SCS will also construct a 3Ux49 canvas -
type shelter. The included site plan delineates the proposed location of the new structures. SCS
estimates that approximately 10 employees will be onsite during normal daytime business hours.
SCS is not proposing improvements to the existing building or impervious surface areas.
Additional improvements will include bringing electrical to the proposed sales office trailer. The
mobile office trailer contains fresh water and blackwater storage. A septic pumping service will
pump the blackwater storage tanks on a routine basis.
Drainage improvements are not anticipated due to the small amount of upgraded impervious
surface being added to the site: 1,200 square feet. Most of the parcel is already developed and
impervious from previous tenants: 81,154 square feet of impervious area (not including the small
amount of vegetation between the two gravel parking areas and along the side yards).
Furthermore, this site improvement is valued at $25,000 for the canvas -type shelter and mobile
sales office.

Subject: RE: Fed Way office aerial photo showing parking on both back lots
Hi Rob.
Your first question is can you re -gravel the two graveled areas on the site. The answer is that you may do so without
need of any permit (less than 100 cys of material). You may not expand the coverage area (this is important as there is a
stream to the west and wetland buffer to the north). Approval to re -gravel does not address use issues, which I've
discussed below.
I've looked through all the aerial photos I have access to. None of them shows vehicle parking on the site (some are too
fuzzy to show anything).
My take is that the middle gravel area was a lumber yard. There may have been some trucks parked there at times, but
that was a minor component. The lower gravel area also does not show truck parking in the photos. We do know,
however, that the lumber yard had delivery trucks. These trucks were not parked in the paved lot and they do not
appear to have been parked in the middle gravel area. Therefore, by the process of elimination, it seems they were
likely parked in the western most gravel area.
Based on this I would say that the western gravel area was used for vehicle parking and hence can be used as a parking
lot (for church overflow parking or customer parking for the container sales for example).
The change of use analysis we are required to do evaluates the following factors to determine if the proposed use
(trailer storage/container sales) creates greater impact than the previous use (lumber yard):
"Change of use" means the general character of a use has been modified. This determination shall
include but not be limited to a review of:
(1) Hours of operation;
I need to know from you what hours you expect to operate.
(2) Required parking;
Per code, the lumber yard required 1 parking space per 300 sf (including outdoor portion of yard). For the trailer
storage and container sales uses, city code states that parking is determined on a case -by -case basis. I do not believe
that these uses generate more parking demand than the lumber yard. You must maintain adequate parking on -site for
all uses (church, trailer parking and container sales). This can be accomplished using the paved lot adjacent to the
building and the western most lot.
(3) Traffic generation;
Traffic Division has asked for more detail about the proposed uses. How many employees will be on -site? What will
hours of operation be? Are we talking about typical shipping containers? Roughly how many containers and
trailers? Will the trailers be coming and going frequently or long term storage?
(4) General appearance;
Previous use and proposed uses involve unscreened storage of material and or vehicles. It looks like there were a
number of storage containers on -site with the original use as well. Equivalent.
(5) Type, extent or amount of indoor or outdoor storage; and
Same as above.
(6) Constituents of surface water discharge or runoff.
The type of runoff generated would not change. If motorized vehicles are proposed to be parked on areas of the site
not previously utilized for parking, however, those vehicles would contribute higher levels of pollution to surface water
runoff and would be considered a change of use. It's my conclusion that the middle gravel area was not utilized for
parking of motorized vehicles (noted that you believe a portion of this area did include vehicle parking). In any event
this appears consistent with your request as trailers and containers are not considered motorized vehicles.
Please respond with the answer to my above questions under (1) and (3) so we can complete our analysis.
Church Change of Use
At this time we are able to issue a letter stating that the church is not a change of use (from the chiropractic
office). This is based on the understanding that additional church parking will be available for the church on the western
most gravel lot. This assumes that adequate parking will be maintained in this lot (not totally consumed with trailers
and/or containers). Please let me know that is how you would like to proceed.
Regards,
Isaac

Isaac,
Attached you will find two photo's from the king county website that clearly show that both upper and lower yards are
graveled. Though I cannot say I see vehicles in either of these photo's You will notice that the lumber layout and yard
configuration is set up for loading trucks. I don't know when these photo's were taken but would guess that Lumbermans
trucks were out making their deliveries during the day. I can tell you that lumberman's did store their trucks on this
property which I personally witnessed on many occasions. I'm hopeful that one of us can produce a photo that will confirm
my assertions.
Since Lumbermans was the last use in this yard for material and truck trailer storage and since my intended use is an
equivalent activity, Container sales and truck trailer storage. I request permission from the city of Federal way to scrape
the grass layer from the yards and add approximately forty yards of gravel to the graveled areas. Once graveled I request
that I be permitted to locate sale containers and trailers onto the graveled area.
Respectfully
Rob Graham

John: As follow up to our conversation at the Permit Center counter yesterday, following our discussion of your
proposal, I did a little checking around other departments in the City to see if they have requirements regarding this type
of proposed development at this site.
In summary, there may be other site development requirements such as stormwater requirements, traffic fees, building
permit requirements triggered by the addition of an approximately 800 square foot trailer at the site.
I suggest you not submit your Process I application at this time, and in the next couple days I will be discussing this

'Review process for improvements and additions to developed sites' as long as it does not exceed the threshold below:
19.15.030 Review processes for improvements and additions to developed sites.
Improvements and/or additions to existing developed sites, except critical area intrusions as regulated by Division V of this title,
shall be subject to land use review processes as follows:
(1) Minor improvements, modifications and additions. Minor improvements, modifications and additions to a site such as parking
lot and landscape area modifications and improvements, and/or additions to an existing developed site that are exempt from
SEPA shall be processed using process I, provided the improvements and/or additions do not exceed either of the following
thresholds:
(a) Twenty-five percent of the gross floor area of the existing use; or
(b) Two thousand square feet of new gross floor area.
(2) Substantial improvements. Improvements and/or additions to an existing developed site that are exempt from SEPA and
exceed the thresholds in subsection (1) of this section, but do not exceed 100 percent of the square footage of the gross floor
area of the existing use, shall be reviewed using process II. Substantial improvements to a site for a use which requires process
III or IV review shall be reviewed pursuant to the use process indicated on the applicable use zone chart.
Although it's a temporary trailer, it does not meet requirements per FWRC 19.275.080 Regulations for temporary trailers, as it will be
there for a few years and is not associated with a construction project. As such it's considered a permanent structure for land use
purposes. As part of the Process I application you will need to submit site plans and elevations per the attached Process I
Development Requirements handout. The structure must meet all requirements per that attached use zone chart FWRC 19.240.020.
This includes setbacks and parking requirements. The review is conducted administratively. I've attached the Process I submittal
checklist and Master Land Use application. The fee for a Process I application is $1,742.00, as fees change annually please contact
the Permit Center at 253-835-2607 or permitcenter@cityotfederaltvay.com for the most up-to-date fees.
The Permit Center is also who you will need to contact for Building Permit Application fees. If you have building code questions
regarding the trailer please contact Plans Examiner Greg Kirk, 253-835-2621, or greg.kirkacityoffederalway.com.
