Con7prehensiue Plan and Zoning Designalion — The city's comprehensive plan designation for the subject property is Single -Family Residential — High Density. The property is currently zoned Single - Family Residential (RS) 7.2. Each lot must have a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet. Note that any area established as an ingress/egress easement, flagpole, access panhandle, or access tract for each property must be deducted from the underlying parcel lot size per FWRC 19.05.120, definition of "Lot Area." Please include this "net" lot area on the lot closure calculations and short plat document. 2. Short Plat Process — Pursuant to FWRC 18.30.010, short plat applications are administratively processed through the Department of Community Development. The administrative review process requires that the Director of Community Development issue a decision on the short subdivision request and confirm conformance with FWRC 18.30.110(2). Public notice of the complete short plat proposal is required per FWRC 18.30.080, and a 15-day public comment period is provided. However, no public hearing will be required unless an appeal is filed. If the director issues an approval of the short plat, the approval typically includes and requires construction of associated infrastructure improvements. As required by the city's Public Works Department, all infrastructure improvements must be designed, reviewed, and constructed prior to recording the short plat. Doc ID:77278 18-100578-00-PC Ms. Theissen March 9, 2018 Page 3 Prior to construction of short plat improvements, engineering approval must be granted by the Public Works Department. Please see Public Works Department — Kevin Peterson's comments below for specific information regarding engineering requirements. A master land use application and short plat handout are enclosed; relevant code sections can be accessed at: www.codepublisliip.g.ebm/WA/FederalWgy. 3. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) —The proposal is SEPA exempt. 4. Public Notice — The city will prepare and the applicant will post, a notice board or boards on the subject property. Copies of the Notice of Application will also be posted at the city's designated public notice areas and published in the Federal Way Mirror. Critical Areas — The City's Critical Areas Map does not identify any wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat resource areas, geologically hazardous areas, or critical aquifer recharge areas on the subject property. 6. Single -Family Residential Regulations — Existing and future residences must conform to the following bulk and dimensional requirements of FWRC 19.200.010, "Detached Dwelling Units": front yard — 20 feet; side yard — 5 feet; and rear yard — 5 feet. Please refer to FWRC 19.05.160, "Property Line " definition for the flag lot setbacks illustration to see how the building setbacks should be applied.

Driveway and/or parking pad in a required front yard may not exceed 20 feet in width (except as specified in FWRC 19.130.240[l][b]), and may not be closer than five feet to any side property line. Any existing building improvements on both proposed lots must meet applicable minimum setback, and maximum lot coverage standards. The improvements and impervious areas on proposed lot 1 may need to be modified to meet the maximum lot coverage standard of 60 percent impervious. Open Space — All residential subdivisions are required to provide open space in the amount of 15 percent of the gross land area of the subdivision site per FWRC 18.55.060(2). All or some of the open space requirements may be satisfied by a fee -in -lieu payment at the discretion of the Parks Director, after consideration of the city's overall park plan, quality, location, and service area of the open space that would otherwise be provided with the project. If the fee -in -lieu option is chosen, a written request to the Parks Director is required. A copy of this request is required as a component of the short plat application. Open space fees shall be paid prior to recording the short plat. Refer to FWRC 19.100.070, "Timing of Fee Payments." 8. Tree Retention/Replacement— The short plat will be subject to tree density requirements of FWRC 19.120.130(1); note that 25 tree units per acre are required for single-family zoned sites. A tree unit is a value assigned to existing trees retained on the property or replacement trees. The larger the tree, the greater value it is assigned. Required tree density can be composed of retained trees and replacement 18-100578-00-PC Doc ID:77278 Ms. Theissen March 9, 2018 Page 4 plantings per FWRC 19.120.130. The tree and vegetation plan must clearly show where the tree units are to be located. The formal application must indicate what trees are to be removed. A tree retention plan detailing how each proposed lot of the short plat will meet tree unit density requirements shall be submitted with the short subdivision application. Items required to be included in the plan are itemized in FWRC 19.120.040(2)(a) through (e). 9. Clearing & Grading —A clearing and grading plan addressing items listed in FWRC 19.120.040(1)(a) through 0) is required with a short subdivision application. Prior to beginning clearing and grading activities for any plat infrastructure, all trees/vegetation that are to be preserved within and adjacent to the construction area shall be clearly marked and protected per guidelines prescribed within FWRC 19.120.160. 10. Design Criteria and Improvements — Short plats are subject to the subdivision design and improvements criteria set forth in FWRC Chapters 18.55 and 18.60, respectively. It is the responsibility of the applicant to identify how the proposed short subdivision meets applicable design and improvements criteria and is therefore, entitled to the land division. 11. Sewage Disposal — The applicant must provide documentation that each lot in the subdivision will either connect to the sanitary sewer system, or provide an on -site septic system. Wherever feasible, all lots in the short plat shall be connected to sanitary sewer system; see comments from the Lakehaven Water & Sewer District, below. A sewer availability certificate from the Lakehaven Water & Sewer District must be provided with the short plat application if sanitary sewer is to be used. If connection to the sanitary sewer system is not feasible, on -site sewage disposal may be utilized. The design and construction of the septic system must be approved by Public Health -Seattle & King County. Provide a copy of the Health Department Subdivision Pre -Application Report. If on -site septic systems are provided, prior to short plat recording, the applicant must obtain the Public Health - Seattle & King County signature on the short plat document and provide a copy of their signed Application for Final Subdivision. 12.

Engineering plans must be approved, improvements constructed, and the plat must be recorded within the five-year time period. Pursuant to FWRC 18.05.090, no less than 60 days prior to the lapse of approval, the applicant may request a two-year time extension for the plat approval. 17. Recording — The applicant will record the short plat with the King County Division of Records and Elections following final approval of the short plat document, completion of infrastructure, and Public Works Department approval of as -built plans. Prior to recording the short plat, water and sewer completion letters must be provided to the city and all surveying and monumentation must be complete. In addition, all other required improvements must be substantially completed as determined by the departments of Community Development and Public Works. The open space fee -in -lieu must be paid in full prior to recording. PUBLIC WORKS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIVISION (Kevin Peterson, 253-835-2734, kevin.peterson@cityoffederalway.com) Land Use Issues — Stormwater 1. Surface water runoff control and water quality treatment will be required per the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM). Based on the current proposal, it appears the development will be subject to either the `Simplified' or `Directed' Drainage review requirements of the KCSWDM. If frontage improvements in S 298th Street are required (see Traffic Division comments, below), and those improvements affect the existing open ditch and/or 12-inch drain pipes are required, then the project will be subject to a `Targeted' Drainage Review. The civil engineer will need to determine the final drainage review requirements. At the time of preliminary short plat submittal, the City requires a preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR) shall be submitted, or, at the very least, a narrative that addresses how the project will meet the appropriate drainage review requirements. 2. If infiltration is proposed, soil logs prepared by a licensed geotechnical engineer or septic designer must be provided to verify infiltration suitability. Right -of -Way Improvements 1. See the Traffic Division comments from Sarady Long, Sr. Transportation Planning Engineer, for traffic related items. 2. If dedication of additional right-of-way is required to install street frontage improvements, the dedication shall be conveyed to the City through a statutory warranty deed. The dedicated area must have clear title prior to recording. 3. All stormwater treatment and detention requirements outlined above may apply to any improvements within the public right-of-way. 4. FWRC 19.135.280 requires that driveways serving residential uses may not be located closer than 25 feet to any street intersection. Lots and intersections within new subdivisions or short plats must be designed to meet this standard. 18-100578-00-PC Doc ID:77278 Ms. Theissen March 9, 2018 Page 6 Building [or Engineering (EN)] Permit Issues 1. Engineered plans are required for clearing, grading, road construction, and utility work. Plans must be reviewed and approved by the City. Engineering review fees (2018) are $1,669.00 for the first 12 hours of review for Short Plats, and $139.00 per hour for additional review time. A final TIR shall be prepared for the project and submitted with the engineering plans. Both the TIR and the plans will require the signature/seaI of a professional engineer registered/licensed in the state of Washington. 2. All improvements shall be constructed prior to plat recording. 3. The Federal Way Public Works Development Standards Manual (including standard detail drawings, standard notes, and engineering checklists) is available on the City's website at http.-I/www.cioffedera]wU.com/index.aspx?nid=171 x?nid=171 to assist the applicant's engineer in preparing the plans and TIR. 4. Bonding is required for all Public street improvements and temporary erosion and sediment control measures associated with the project. The bond amount shall be 120 percent of the estimated costs of the improvements. An administrative fee deposit will need to accompany the bond to cover any possible legal fees in the event the bond must be caIIed. Upon completion of the installation of the improvements, and final approval of the Public Works Inspector, the bond will be reduced to 30 percent of the original amount and held for a two-year maintenance period. The developer will be responsible for the maintenance of all street systems during the two-year maintenance period. During that time, the Public Works Inspector will make periodic visits to the site to ensure the developer's compliance with the maintenance requirements. Upon satisfactory completion of the two-year maintenance period, the remainder of the bond will be released. Maintenance for public roads and subdivision drainage facilities then become the responsibility of the City. Maintenance for private roads and drainage facilities, including short plats, remain the responsibility of the individual property owners. 6. When topographic survey information is shown on the plans, the vertical datum block shall include the phrase "DATUM: N.G.V.D.-29" or "DATUM: K.C.A.S.," on all sheets where vertical elevations are called out. 7. Drawings submitted for plan review shall be printed on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" paper. Site plans shall be drawn at a scale of 1" = 20', or larger. Architectural scales are not permitted on engineering plans. 8. Provide cut and fill quantities on the clearing and grading plan. 9. Temporary Erosion and Sediment control (TESC) measures, per Appendix D of the 2016 KCSWDM, must be shown on the engineering plans. 10. The site plan shall show the location of any existing and proposed utilities in the areas affected by construction. Doe ID:77278 I8-100578-00-PC Ms. Theissen March 9, 2018 Page 7 PUBLIC WORKS — TRAFFIC DIVISION Sarady Long, 253-835-2743, saradv.ion (wcityoffederalway.com Transportation Concurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90) Based on the submitted materials for two Single Family Detached Housing, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation - l Oth Edition, land use code 210 (Single Family Detached Housing), the proposed project is estimated to generate approximately one (1) new weekday PM peak hour trips and nine (9) daily trips. 2. A concurrency permit is required for this development project. The PW Traffic Division will perform concurrency analysis to determine if adequate roadway capacity exists during the weekday PM peak period to accommodate the proposed development. Please note that supplemental transportation analysis and concurrency mitigation may be required if the proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in the six -year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP). The estimated fee for the concurrency permit application is $1,669.00 (less than 10 PM Trips). Thi, fee is an estimate and based on the materials submitted for the preapplication meeting. The concurrency application fee must be paid in full at the time the concurrency permit application is submitted with land use application. The fee may change based on the new weekday PM peak hour trips as identified in the concurrency trip generation. 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. Transportation Impact Fees (TIF) (FWRC 19.91) Based on the submitted materials for one new single family lot, the estimated traffic impact fee is $3,991 per lot. The total amount of the impact fees will be assessed and collected from the applicant when the building permit is issued, using the fee schedule then in effect. The applicant may request, at any time prior to building issuance, to defer the payment of the impact fee to final building inspection. If this option is selected, a covenants prepared by the city to enforce payment of the deferred fees will be recorded at the applicant's expense on each lot. Please refer to defer payment of impact fee code for process. Street Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135) The applicant/owner would be expected to construct street improvements consistent with the planned roadway cross -sections as shown in Map III-4 in Chapter III of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) shown as Table III-10 (FWRC 19.135.040). Based on the materials submitted, staff conducted a limited analysis to determine the required street improvements. The applicant would be expected to construct improvements on the following streets to the City's planned roadway cross -sections: ■ South 2981h St. is a minor arterial planned as a Type "S" street, consisting of a 36-foot street with curb and gutter, four -foot planter strips with street trees, five-foot sidewalks and street lights in a 60-foot right-of-way (ROW). Assuming a symmetrical cross section, half street improvements are required. It appears the existing right-of-way width is adequate to accommodate the improvements. 18-100578-00-PC Doc ID:77278 Ms. Theissen March 9, 2018 Page 8 ■ The access easement serving less than 4 lots shall be per Dwg. No. 3-2DD (Private Driveway serving 3 or 4 lots). Per FWRC 19.135.280, there may be only one driveway for each 330 feet of lot frontage. A The access easement shall be a Type "W" street (28-foot street with curb and gutter, 4' planter strips with street trees, 5' sidewalks and street lights in a 52-foot right-of-way) if serving more than 4 lots. 2. The applicant may make a written request to the Public Works Director to modify, defer, or waive the required street improvements (FWRC 19.135.070). Information about right-of-way modification requests is available through the Public Works Development Services Division. These modification requests have a nominal review fee currently at $278 plus recording fee. Access Management (FWRC 19.135) 1. Access management standards are based on roadway safety and capacity requirements. FWRC 19.135.280 provides access standards for streets based on planned roadway cross -sections. Please note that access classifications are per Drawing 3-IA in the Public Works Development Standards. The existing circular driveway on S 298`h St. will not be permitted. Lot 1 shall be limited to only one driveway on S 2981h St. There may be only one driveway for each 330 feet of lot frontage (FWRC 19.135.280). This property does not have the 660 feet minimum street frontage to allow a second access. 4. TP4.5 Require developments to dedicate right-of-way as needed for development commensurate with the impacts of the development. At a minimum, setback limits shall be used to assure that buildings are not placed within the right-of-way requirements for planned transportation facilities. Right-of-way dedication shall be commensurate with a development's impact to the existing and planned transportation system. LAKEHAVEN WATER AND SEWER DISTRICT (Brian Asbury, 253-946-5407, BAsbury@lakehaven.org) ❑ Lot 1 has existing water & sewer service connections. ❑ New water & sewer service connections for Lot 2. ❑ Existing water supply lines (meter -to -house) for parcels 7683800219 & 7683800222 Moth presumably run down the east side of site parcel. Unknown if there are any existing private easement(s). But the site will either need those private easement(s) shown on SP if existing or reserved/granted on SP if new. SOUTH KING FIRE AND RESCUE (Chris Cahan, 253-946-7243, chris.cahan@southkingfire.org) Emergency Access Fire apparatus access roads shall comply with all requirements of Fire Access Policy 10.006 h ://soutlikin fire.or ocumentCenter/Home4View/24.

Currently, the parcel is developed with a single-family residence and associated improvements. The site and all adjacent parcels are zoned RS7.2 (1 unit/7,200 sf by the City of Federal Way. The enclosed site plan depicts the proposed 2-lot short plat, creating one additional lot for a new single-family residence. The existing house, on proposed Lot 1, will continue to be accessed via South 298th Street; while the new lot, proposed Lot 2, located to the south, will be accessed via the existing 20-foot gravel drive located on the eastern portion of the site. This existing gravel driveway is currently providing access to two additional parcels located south of the site. Lot 1 will be approximately 15,000 sf, and Lot 2 will be approximately 7,500 s£ Although, a conceptual building plan is not included for lot 2, the developer will construct a single-family home product in accordance with the City of Federal Way's Community Design Guidelines. Preliminary site research indicates the City of Federal Way and Lakehaven Utility District have water, sewer and storm availability within South 298th Street right-of-way, immediately adjacent to the subject property. Our schematic site plan is based on the following and intended to meet City Code: • Front setbacks: 20 feet. • Side yard setbacks: 5 feet for interior lots, 10 feet for the portion of corner lots adjacent to vehicular access. • Rear yard setback: 5 feet. • Maximum building height of 30 feet. ■ Minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet. • Access proposed from South 298th Street. • One water meter connection will be provided for new lot. • One sanitary sewer connection will be provided for new lot. • Stormwater will be mitigated by the use of porous pavement and individual lot infiltration. • The estimated vehicle trips per day is 10. • Parking: four spaces will be provided on new lot; anticipating two in garage and two in driveway). Specific questions we would like City of Federal Way staff to address: • Preliminary Short Plat process and timeline; • Building permit process and timeline; ■ Verification of building setback and height requirements; • Verification of building setbacks from access easement; ■ Frontage improvement requirements; • Improvement requirements for access easement; I • Fire and emergency vehicle access requirements; J • Right-of-way and access requirements; • Confirmation of storm mitigation through porous pavement and lot infiltration; ■ Impervious surface thresholds; • Confirmation of landscape, tree -retention; ® Any applicable impact and permit fees; ® Zoning requirements; 4 Fire requirements — sprinklers and building constraints; 0 Confirmation of connection to existing sewer main within South 298th Street; o Confirmation of connection to existing water main within South 298th Street.

Currently, the parcel is developed with a single-family residence and associated improvements. The site and all adjacent parcels are zoned RS7.2 (1 unit/7,200 sf by the City of Federal Way. The enclosed site plan depicts the proposed 2-lot short plat, creating one additional lot for a new single-family residence. The existing house, on proposed Lot 1, will continue to be accessed via South 298th Street; while the new lot, proposed Lot 2, located to the south, will be accessed via the existing 20-foot gravel drive located on the eastern portion of the site. This existing gravel driveway is currently providing access to two additional parcels located south of the site. Lot 1 will be approximately 15,000 sf, and Lot 2 will be approvmately 7,500 sf. Although, a conceptual building plan is not included for lot 2, the developer will construct a single-family home product in accordance with the City of Federal Way's Community Design Guidelines. Preliminary site research indicates the City of Federal Way and Lakehaven Utility District have water, sewer and storm availability within South 298th Street right-of-way, immediately adjacent to the subject property. Our schematic site plan is based on the following and intended to meet City Code: • Front setbacks: 20 feet. • Side yard setbacks: 5 feet for interior lots, 10 feet for the portion of corner lots adjacent to vehicular access. • Rear yard setback: 5 feet. • Maximum building height of 30 feet. • Minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet. • Access proposed from South 298th Street. ■ One water meter connection will be provided for new lot. • One sanitary sewer connection will be provided for new lot. • Stormwater will be mitigated by the use of porous pavement and individual lot infiltration. • The estimated vehicle trips per day is 10. • Parking: four spaces will be provided on new lot; anticipating two in garage and two in driveway). Specific questions we would like City of Federal Way staff to address: • Preliminary Short Plat process and timeline; • Building permit process and timeline; • Verification of building setback and height requirements; ■ Verification of building setbacks from access easement; • Frontage improvement requirements; • Improvement requirements for access easement; • Fire and emergency vehicle access requirements; • Right-of-way and access requirements; ■ Confirmation of storm mitigation through porous pavement and lot infiltration; • Impervious surface thresholds; • Confirmation of landscape, tree -retention; o Any applicable impact and permit fees; Zoning requirements; o Fire requirements — sprinklers and building constraints; v Confirmation of connection to existing sewer main within South 298th Street; • Confirmation of connection to existing water main within South 298th Street. It is our understanding at a minimum, one representative from each City department will be present at the Pre -Application Conference. Below is a list of City Staff requested to attend but not limited to: • Land Planning • Biologist • Development Engineer • Building Division ■ Fire Official • Lakehaven Utility District We look forward to meeting with staff and bringing this project to fruition. Please contact us with the meeting date, time and location upon scheduling. Sincerely, Amber Thiessen Senior Planner C.E.S.
