Re: MULTICARE PREAPPLICATION MEETING— PRE98-0069
35454 Pacific Highway South
Dear Mr. Simmons:
Thank you for meeting with the city's Community Development Review Committee regarding
your proposed project. The committee includes representatives from the Lakehaven Utility
District and Federal Way Fire Department, and staff from the city's Land Use and Building
Divisions and Public Works Department.
This letter summarizes our preapplication conference on August 13, 1998, at which time
members of the committee discussed development requirements as they apply to the proposal to
use the existing site for casework construction and storage for the Multicare Health System.
Where appropriate, pertinent ordinance sections are noted. The items listed below do not include
all regulations applicable to the subject proposal. In preparing your application, all pertinent
portions of the city's land use code must be consulted.
LAND USE DIVISION (Deb Barker, 253-661-4103)
Required Review Processes — The subject site is zoned BP (Business Park). Records indicate
that the site was used as construction and truck sales in 1983. However, by 1991, those
businesses had closed and underground storage tanks were removed. The site has been
vacant since that time.
Multicare Preapplication

The proposed casework construction and storage use would be permitted under Federal Way
City Code (FWCC)Section 22-861, Fabrication, assembly and distribution. The proposal is
subject to Process II (Sites lan Review) because previous uses have ceased for more than
one year and the new use must be established through a formal land use process. However,
because environmental review is required, the proposal would be subject to Process III
(Project Approval). Under Process III, the Director of Community Development Services
makes a decision based on criteria listed in the FWCC. A checklist for development
application submittal requirements and master land use application are enclosed, along with
applicable code sections. Building permits are issued after land use approval is granted.
As discussed in the preapplication meeting, the proposal is not exempt from the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) because it represents a change in use from the previous
uses to the proposed use (see Section 3. a) below). If a change of use has occurred, an
environmental checklist must be submitted and reviewed prior to the city issuing an
environmental decision. All property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the site are
notified of that decision. The notification includes a 14-day comment and 14-day appeal
period. SEPA review must be concluded before Process III approval may be granted.
2. Fees — The proposal to develop the project requires the following fees (fees are indicated in
parentheses): Process II, Site Plan Review ($1,218.00, includes fire review fee); Process III,
Project Approval ($1,333.00, includes fire review fee); and SEPA ($472.00, includes fire
review fee). Additional fees are associated with other city and district regulations and
permits. Building permits must be obtained before any work commences.
3. Nonconformances — The proposal also triggers requirements of FWCC Article IV,
Nonconformance, because of the change of use. The use has ceased for more than one year
and the improvements exceed 50 percent of the assessed value of the existing improvements.
Refer below for specific nonconforming elements. FWCC Article IV establishes when and
under what circumstances nonconforming aspects of a use or development must be brought
into conformance with the zoning code. In the case of the subject site, a number of
nonconforming conditions apply to the project.
a) FWCC Section 22-334(1) — If an applicant proposes a change of use on property
occupied by a single tenant, the applicant shall meet those provisions determined by
the director to be reasonable related and applicable to the change of use. Provide a
written narrative which addresses the previous and proposed: 1) hours of operation; 2)
required parking; 3) traffic generation; 4) general appearance; 5) type, extent, or
amount of indoor or outdoor storage; and 6) constituents of surface water discharge or
runoff.
Multicare Preapplication
August 25, 1998

b) FWCC Section 22-334(5) — If the use on the subject property has ceased for more than
one year, the applicant shall repair and restore the improvements on the site (drainage,
landscaping, curbing, parking, parking lot landscaping) to a condition as near as
physically possible to the condition required by the requirements of approval. If the
building is abandoned, the applicant shall comply with all development regulations
applicable to the subject property to the extent physically or technically practical on
the site.
c) FWCC Section 22-334(6) — If the applicant is making any alterations or changes, and
doing work other than normal maintenance or tenant improvements, and the work
exceeds 50 percent of the assessed or appraised value of the improvement, the
applicant shall meet all development regulations applicable to the property. With the
building improvements assessed at $1,000 by King County, it is assumed that the work
to the site will exceed $500 and that applicable development regulations shall be
complied with, including but not limited to, perimeter landscaping, interior parking lot
landscaping, parking stalls, setbacks, height, and community design guidelines.
Staff has determined that the following development standards are applicable to the
project and must be brought into conformance with the following development code
requirements of FWCC Section 22-861, under Process III (Project Approval).
i) Setback Requirements — Minimum structural setback requirements for the
fabrication, assembly, and distribution facility are 50 foot front yard setbacks
(unless the entry is visible from the street and front facade is glass, then 25 foot,
or if the landscape buffer and stormwater facilities are located in the front yard
then 35 foot); 20 foot side yard setback; and 0 or 20 foot rear yard setbacks:
(Please note that "0" rear yard setbacks are permitted only with 50 foot front
yard setback.) Provide verification of the structural setbacks for the subject site.
ii) Parking Requirements — Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-861, parking for the
fabrication, assembly, and distribution use is one parking stall for each 1,000
square feet of gross floor area. The size of the buildings is unknown and 11
parking stalls are proposed. I am unable to determine if the required amount of
parking is adequate. The asphalt parking lot would be required to be repaired
and the weeds removed.
For reference, standard stall sizes are 81/2 by 18 feet and compact parking stalls
are 8 by 15 feet. Up to 25 percent of the spaces may be compact stalls. A
parking stall/drive aisle chart is enclosed.
Multicare Preapplication
August 25, 1998

iii) Truck Parking — FWCC Section 22-861, Note #4, states that the subject
properly must be designed so that truck parking, loading, and maneuvering
areas; areas where noise generating outdoor uses and activities may occur; and
vents and similar features are located as far back as possible from any
residential zone and secondarily from any public right of way. Indicate how this
requirement is met.
iv) Land Use Criteria — FWCC Section 22-861, Note #7, states that this use may be
permitted only if it meets the following criteria: a) The process, products,
activities, and materials utilized and/or produced by this use are similar to the
process, products, activities, and materials of one or more of the other uses
permitted in this zone; and b) the impacts of this use on other uses and
businesses on the subject property, in the area of the subject property and in the
city, will be no greater than the impacts of other uses permitted in this zone.
Provide a response and/or a design that meets these criteria.
v) Perimeter Landscaping — Ten feet of type II landscaping shall be installed along
the north and west property line between the parking lot and the right-of-way
(ROW). Five feet of type III landscaping is required along the south and east
property. lines. The planting shall include trees, shrubs and groundcover.
Existing vegetation may already meet these perimeter landscape requirements.
vi) Parking Stalls Reconfiguration — Parking stalls, loading areas, and drive aisles
must be delineated. The balance of the asphalt area not used for building, future
buildings, vehicular, or pedestrian circulation should be converted to a
predeveloped state per FWCC Section 22-1564(a).
For reference, standard stall sizes are 8'/z by 18 feet and compact parking stalls
are 8 by 15 feet. Two way drive aisles are 25.6 feet. Up to 25 percent of the
required spaces may be compact stalls. A parking stall/drive aisle chart is
enclosed. Interior parking lot landscaping must be provided for the parking
stalls in the amount of 20 square feet per parking stall per FWCC Section 22-
1567(b)(1)(a) (enclosed).
vii) Loading Dock Screening — The loading docks must be screened from the from
the ROW with type I landscaping in conformance with FWCC Section 1564(w).
viii) Plant Species — With the exception of lawn areas, at least 25 percent of new
landscaping materials shall consist of drought tolerant species. The preliminary
plan should indicate how this requirement is satisfied.

ix) Foundation Landscaping — This must be provided along the building facades to
the extent available per FWCC Section 22-1564(u).
4. Wetland Setback Intrusions — Any proposed intrusions into the regulated wetland or stream
setback areas require review under FWCC Article XIV.
Design Guidelines — Projects subject to site plan review are subject to the provisions of
FWCC Article M, Community Design Guidelines. However, in cases of remodeling of
existing developments, only those guidelines that are, "reasonably related and applicable to
the area of expansion or remodeling" (Section 22-1632) are applied to the project.
Generally, this proposal must address guidelines pertaining to facade treatment and
pedestrian circulation.
Following are key design guidelines that are reasonably related, along with staff comments
and recommendations:
a) FWCC Section 22-1638(b) (BP Zoning District) — 1) Surface parking may be located
behind the building, to the sides of the building, or adjacent to the right-of-way;
provided however, that parking located adjacent to the right-of-way maximize
pedestrian access and circulation per FWCC Section 22-1634(d). 2) Buildings with
ground floor services should orient major entrances ... and pedestrian features to the
right-of-way to the extent possible.
Staff Response — With the parking lot between the street and the building, a pedestrian
pathway from South 356th Street to the office building that is protected from the
vehicle circulation areas shall be provided. Outdoor furniture, fixtures, and street scape
elements should be incorporated into the site design, and bike racks should be
provided. Provide dedicated pedestrian pathways between buildings. Building facades
visible from the right of way should incorporate methods of articulation and
architectural design such as material or color variation, vegetation, and/or architectural
features. Facades that exceed 60 feet in length must incorporate facade treatment such
as canopies or awnings and landscaping.
6. Signs — One free-standing medium profile sign would be permitted on this site per FWCC
Section 22-160 1 (A)(2). Building mounted signage is also permitted. All signs at the site
require that a separate sign permit be approved. A sign permit application is enclosed. Please

subject: Multicare Storage Facility (PRE98-0069) VA C
date: August 13, 1998
Based on my review of the submitted materials and a site visit, I have the following comments:
Traffic Impacts
The proposed project will not impact any intersections by 10 or more PM peak hour trips. No
traffic impact analysis is required.
Right -of -Way Improvements
Per FWCC Sec. 22-1474, half -width frontage improvements are required on S 356th Street and
Pacific Highway S. On S 356th Street, improvements include pavement widening to 33'
pavement between the curb and the centerline, vertical curb, gutter, 6' planter with trees, 8'
sidewalk, and street lights. A 20' right-of-way dedication will be required to accommodate these
improvements. On Pacific Highway S, improvements include pavement widening to 43' pavement
between the curb and the centerline, vertical curb, gutter, 6' planter with trees, 8' sidewalk, and
streetlights. A 10' right-of-way dedication will be required to accommodate these improvements.
The above requirements assume that the proposed improvements exceed 25% of the assessed or
appraised value of all structures on the subject property. Per FWCC Sec. 22-1477, a request for
modification, deferment, or waiver from the above improvements may be submitted to the Public
Works Director.
Site Access
The proposed driveway shall meet the minimum 150' spacing to adjacent intersections and
driveways (on both sides of the street) as established by FWCC Sec. 22-1543.

35454 Pacific Highway South
Date: 8/11/98
After reviewing the materials submitted and a visit of the proposed site the following comments and
findings address issues that need to be resolved prior to developing the site.
1. If the project creates 5,000 square feet or more of impervious area, surface water runoff
control and treatment will be required per the current King Coun!y Surface Water Design
Manual (KCSWDM), the City's amendments and through the SEPA process, the Hylebos
Creek and Lower Puget Sound Basin Plan.
2. The proposed project is located within the West Branch Hylebos Creek Sub -Basin. The
proposed design should utilize infiltration to the maximum extent feasible given soil
conditions. Site specific soils information to support design infiltration rates should be
provided as part of the SEPA process. The site is in an area designated BW-3 by the basin
plan. If infiltration cannot be used, a modified storm water retention/detention (R/D) facility
shall be designed such that the post -developed 100-year flow is released at 70-percent of the
pre -development 2-year rate. A 24-hour design storm is to be used. A 30% factor of safety
is required in the design of the detention system. These requirements are based on the
Hylebos Creek and Lower Puget Sound Basin Plan.
3. The use of the property is proposed to change. The proposed change has the potential to
release new/increased pollutants into the storm water system. The project site will need to be
retrofit for water quality per FWCC section 22-337 and designed according to the King
County Surface Water Design Manual.
4. The site plan submitted does not show any area to be used for water quality or detention.
The layout of the site should take this into consideration.
5. At the time of the site plan review submittal a narrative addressing the relevance to the project
of the 7 core and the 12 special requirements of the KCSWDM will be required. A Level I
downstream analysis shall also be provided. The city has available 1" =100', 5 foot contour,
planimetric maps that must be used for basin analysis. Contact Kevin Peterson, Engineering
Technician at 661-4126 for further details.
6. Provide the project valuation to check the 25% street improvement threshold per section 22-
1473 of the FWCC. If the project valuation is 25% of the value of the existing structure on
the project site then street improvements built to standards per section 22-1524/25 of the
FWCC will be required.
Per section 22-1477 of the FWCC, the applicant may make a written request to the Public
Works Director for a modification, deferment or waiver from the above Right -of -Way
requirements. A handout on these procedures is attached.
7. Refer to the traffic division memo for comments regarding street improvements and traffic
issues.
8. Parking areas shall be paved with curbing along the perimeter. (FWCC 22-1567)
9. When topographic survey information is shown on submitted plans, as required, the vertical
datum block shall include the phrase "DATUM: N.G.V.D.-29" or "DATUM: K.C.A.S." on
all sheets where elevations are called out.
10. All drawings shall be drafted/plotted on 24" x 36" mylar sheets with permanent black ink.
Site plans shall be drawn at a scale of 1"=20' or larger. Drawings submitted for plan review
shall be printed on 24" x 36" paper.

To Whom it may concern,
It is the intention of MultiCare Health System to continue to utilize our property at 35454
Pacific Hwy. South as a storage site. We would also like to commence a
casework/cabinet shop at that site in the existing main building on that site.
The operation will consist of sefting up and operating a wood working function to
construct new cabinets and casework on an ongoing basis for installation during tenant
improvements at MultiCare owned and operated sites.
Materials used will be plywood, particle board, plastic laminates, moldings and
associated contact bond adhesives and solvents. All hazardous materials due for
disposal would be trucked away by contracted hazardous chemical handlers.
In order to achieve the necessary conditions for such an operation it will be necessary
to restore power to the site, install a heating system, and recommission the toilet and
restroom facilities. The existing trailer on site will be utilized as an office and meeting
space. The smaller, corrugated metal building will be used for storage only.

RE: Gaudio Estates, 35454 Pacific Highway South
Dear Felix:
Thank you for meeting with Greg Fewins and me on June 18, 1996 to
discuss development issues for the above referenced property. At
the conclusion of the meeting you requested clarification of
three issues. They were:
a) status of the submitted wetland delineation,
b) type and extent of critical area intrusions that may be
supported by staff, and
c) specific Process II application submittal requirements for the
subject site.
For clarity, each issue is discussed below separately.
Status of the Submitted Wetland Delineation
The submitted Wetland and Streambank Determination dated March
1996 was examined by city staff prior to the June 18 meeting. The
report was determined complete and accurate pursuant to the
requirements of Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Section 22-1356(b).
The identified "wetland -like area B" does not meet the
definition of a regulated wetland per FWCC and shall not be
regulated as such. However, the identified Wetland A and Hylebos
Creek are regulated by city codes as critical areas. Each
requires a 100 foot setback from the feature's edge. No further
action will be taken on the report until a Process II application
is filed for city review. A that time it will included in the
application as a reference document. Please a advised that the
accuracy of this report may be affected by changing conditions
related to the wetland and stream, and revisions to city critical
area regulations. Delay in submitting a development application
for this site may require verification of the delineations or
changes to the submitted report.
TyRe and Extent of Critical. Area Intrusions that may be Supported
by Staff,
Two, perhaps three, critical areas are located on or within 100 feet of the site. They include
a wetland, major stream and potentially a steep slope. The steep slope are is located along
the south property line. In summary, city staff will support selective intrusions up to a
maximum of 50 feet within the 100 foot critical area setbacks or to a point of existing
vegetation within the setback, whichever is less provided:
a) the existing vegetation within the critical area setbacks are surveyed and mapped;
b) area calculations for setbacks of each critical area is provided. These calculations
should be split into two groups, the calculated area within the proposed critical area
setback and calculated area outside the proposed setback in which improvements are
proposed to be located;
c) the proposed critical area setback, including both sides of the creek on the subject
site, is cleared of all debris and planted with riparian type native vegetation (drought
resistant trees, shrubs and ground cover) to match existing riparian areas;
d) total area of the proposed setback intrusions is less than total area of proposed critical
area setback.
Rationale for the four conditions is to insure no net loss of wetland and stream area, function
and values occur due to site development and disturbed critical areas are reestablished to
provide lost habitat functions and values. These conditions are based on the importance of the
existing critical areas and degraded condition of their setback areas.
Insufficient information was provided to formulate a staff recommendation regarding
potential steep slope intrusions along the south property line. For reference, slopes greater
than 40 percent grade are classified as a critical area and require a setback of 25 feet from
the top and toe of the slope. Intrusions are possible provided separate
reports are provided which demonstrate the proposed intrusion
will not adversely affect the steep slope. If this criteria is
met, intrusions within this area can be supported. Please
examine topographic information along the south property line to
verify this issue. Slopes greater than 40 percent grade must be
shown on the development plans.
Process II Application Submittal Requirements
A Process II land use application must be filed in order to
obtain a final decision on proposed critical area intrusions.
Without this decision the staff recommendation contained in this
letter is only advisory. In order to assist you in preparing a
complete Process II application specific submittal requirements
are either attached or listed below.
* Master Land Use application and $2163 filing fee,
* Completed and signed SEPA checklist, two sets of stamped
envelopes addressed to all property owners and occupants
within 300 feet of the subject site, list of addresses and
$472 filing fee,
* $100 public notice sign deposit,
* Eight sets of drawings as noted on the attached Development
Application Submittal Requirements handout. Please note the
"bubble drawing" (conceptual site plan) discussed at the
meeting is acceptable provided additional information, not
crossed out on the handout, is included.
As discussed at the meeting development plans must include the
specific type and extent of any critical area intrusion. Please
contact me at 661-4110 if you have any questions.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Bill Kingman
FROM: Jeffrey H. Sharp For Your Information
DATE: April 26, 1994
SUBJECT: FW U-Haul & Mini Warehouse File No.: PRE 94-0015
After reviewing the materials submitted and a visit of the proposed site the following comments
and findings address issues that need to be resolved prior to developing the site.
1. Surface water runoff control and treatment will be required per the 1992 King Count
Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), the City's amendments and through the
SEPA process, the Hylebos Creek and Lower Puget Sound Basin Plan.
2. The proposed project is located within the West Branch Hylebos Creek Sub -Basin. The
proposed design should utilize infiltration to the maximum extent feasible given soil
conditions. Site specific soils information to support design infiltration rates should be
provided as part of the SEPA process. The site is in an area designated BW-3 by the
basin plan. If infiltration cannot be used, a modified storm water retention/detention
(R/D) facility shall be designed such that the postdeveloped 100-year flow is released at
70-percent of the predevelopment 2-year rate. A 24-hour design storm is to be used.
A 30 % factor is not required in the design of the detention system. These requirements
are based on the Hylebos Creek and Lower Puget Sound Basin Plan.
3. The site plan submitted does not show any area to be used for water quality or detention.
The layout of the site should take this into consideration.
4. At the time of the site plan review submittal a narrative addressing the relevance to the
project of the 7 core and the 12 special requirements of the KCSWDM will be required.
A Level I downstream analysis shall also be provided. The city has available l" =100',
5 foot contour, planimetric maps that must be used for basin analysis. Contact Kevin
Peterson, Engineering Technician at 661-4126 for further details.

RE: Federal Way Mini -Warehouses and U-Haul Preapplication
Review,
PRE94-0015
Dear Chuck:
Thank you for attending the pre -application meeting on April 7,
1994 for your proposed 690 unit mini -storage and U-Haul business
at 35454 Pacific Highway South in Federal Way.
The following is a summary of issues discussed at our pre -
application meeting. For your convenience, I have listed
comments in the following categories: zoning, public works,
building, fire, and water & sewer. A copy of the meeting
attendance list is attached for your review.
zoning•
The following issues relate to the Federal Way City Code (FWCC)
and must be resolved through a Site Plan application. Questions
should be directed to me at 661-4110.
For reference the property is zoned Manufacturing Park (MP). The
proposed mini -warehouse is classified as a mini -storage per
Section 22-865 of the FWCC. The proposed rental of moving vans
is classified as an accessory use to the mini -storage per Section
22-946 of the FWCC. Both are allowed in the MP zone through a
Site Plan approval.
1. A Site Plan application must be submitted for city review.
Attached for your reference is a Master Land Use Application
and Site Plan drawings requirement handout. The Site Plan
application filing fee is $1,218, payable at time of filing.
Processing time is 60 to 90 days from receipt of a complete
application.
2. A State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review is required.
Attached for your reference is a SEPA checklist and handout
describing how to obtain mailing labels for the public
notice. You must also provide two sets of envelopes
addressed to all property owners and occupants within 300
feet of the site and a list of addresses for the SEPA
decision and public hearing notice. The SEPA review filing
fee is $472, payable at time of filing. Processing time is
45 to 60 days and runs concurrent with the Site Plan
application review.
3. A regulated slope traverses the south property line. A
slope analysis must be provided with the Site Plan
application to verify the location of the top of the
regulated slope and proposed improvements along the south
property line. For reference regulated slopes are greater
than 40 percent grade and require a 25-foot setback,
measured from the point where the slope is less than 40
percent grade.
4. Hylebos Creek, a major stream, traverses the site. The
stream must be delineated and surveyed to verify the
location of the stream and any proposed improvements, if
within 100 feet of the stream. For reference a 100-foot
setback, measured from the top of the bank, is required.
5. A wetland may be located south of the site. A wetland
delineation must be provided with the Site Plan application
to verify the location of the wetland edge and any proposed
improvements within 100 feet of the delineated edge of
wetland. For reference a 100-foot setback, measured from
the wetland edge, is required. Also, the city adopted the
1989 Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating
Jurisdictional Wetlands and subsequent U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers regulatory guidance letters for defining regulated
wetlands. Although a specific wetland may not meet the
federal criteria, it will be regulated if it is functionally
related to another wetland that meets the criteria.
6. The decision to classify the U-Haul business as accessory
retail sales may be reexamined if the project is downsized
due to environmental constraints.
7. All new structures must meet minimum building setback
requirements. Setbacks are 20 feet from South 356th Street
and 20 feet from all other property lines.
8. Building facade modulation is required for any existing or
proposed exterior wall longer than 60 feet. The minimum
depth is four feet, minimum width is five feet and maximum
width is 50 feet.
9. Parking is determined on a case by case basis. Please
provide verification that the proposed number of stalls is
adequate for the intended use with the Site Plan
application.
10. Full size parking stalls dimensions are 8 1/2 by 18 feet.
Compact stalls are 8 by 15 feet. No more than 25 percent of
the proposed parking may be compact size. Please note,
these dimensions are predicated on a 25 1/2 foot wide two
way drive aisle.
11. The Site Plan application must include a landscape plan
prepared by a landscape architect licensed in Washington.
Several landscape requirements are listed below. Please
refer to the attached landscape code for a full discussion
of all requirements. Summary requirements are discussed
below.
Significant trees, as defined by FWCC, must be inventoried
to determine if more than 75% of the trees will be removed
with the development proposal. If so, you must plant
replacement trees at a ratio of 1:1 to the amount equal to
25% of the significant trees before construction.
Replacement trees must be ten feet tall evergreen or three
inch caliper deciduous trees.
Perimeter landscaping is required. Specifically, a ten foot
wide Type II landscape area is required along South 356th
Street and Pacific Highway South. A five foot wide Type III
landscape area is required along the south property line. A
five foot wide Type II landscape area is required along the
east line. Please note, landscaping may not be located in
sensitive areas, including related buffers.
A ten foot wide Type I landscape area is required around the
storage area. The area set aside for parked rental vehicles
is classified as a storage area. Also, the FWCC recommends
wherever feasible the building be located in front of
parking areas.
Landscaping is required in the parking lot. 20 square feet
per stall is required if less than 49 parking stalls are
proposed and 22 square feet is required if more than 50
stalls are proposed.
Xeroscape type landscaping is recommended. A automatic
irrigation is required for all proposed landscaping which is
not xeroscape type.
The landscape plan should be based on the utility and
drainage plan. Trees are not allowed over utility lines or
on the south side of a biofiltration swale.
You may request a administrative modification to the
landscape requirements. Your request should be addressed to
me and discuss how the proposed modification meets the
decisional criteria of FWCC Section 22-1570, attached for
your reference.
12. A trash enclosure with access doors must be provided. The
enclosure is not allowed in building setback areas. Also,
the enclosure must be sized to provide a 65 square foot area
for recycling in addition to the trash bin.
13. Signs are reviewed through separate permits. Please contact
Richard Cottage, Zoning Code Compliance Officer at 661-4017
to discuss sign requirements.
Public Works•
Public Works comments will be provided under separate cover as
soon as they are available, as discussed with Debra Coates on
April 25, 1994. Any questions should be directed to Ron Garrow,
Senior Development Engineer, at 661-4137.
Building Division:
The city•s building division provided a memo addressing building
permit and construction issues. Questions should be directed to

Re: U-Haul & Mini Warehouse
PRE94-0015
Dear Mr. Lynn:
I have received your letter to Mr. Kingman regarding
reconsideration of paragraph 5 of the staff's follow-up to the
pre -application meeting for the above referenced proposal. In
the pre -application meeting and in the follow-up correspondence,
staff had indicated that the proposal would require street
development of improvements to Pacific Highway South and S. 356th
Street.
The improvements to the streets detailed in the staff's follow-up
letter are based on the Federal Way City Code (FWCC), Sections
22-1473 and 22-1524. FWCC requires the full width development of
the abutting rights -of -way for all projects meeting or exceeding
the specified thresholds. In this case, the value of the
proposed improvements to the site exceeded 25% of the assessed
value of the existing structures on the site.
The letter cited FWCC Section 22-1477 through which the applicant
may request a modification, waiver, or deferment to the code
requirements. A handout on this procedure was provided,. To
date, no request has been received based on the criteria set
forth in Section 22-1477.
Another item listed in staff's letter is the need for a Traffic
impact Analysis (TIA). Through this analysis, additional street
improvements beyond the site boundaries may be required. Also,
the report may provide justification for a modification to the
code required frontage improvements.
Many issues were brought out in the pre -application meeting which
affected the overall site plan. The ultimate site plan for this
proposal, should it go forward, will probably affect the
requirements for off -site street improvements. It would be
premature to revise any street improvement requirements without
considering any revised site plan and an associated TIA.
Therefore, staff will not make any further reconsideration to the
follow-up letter from the pre -application meeting ❑f April, 1994
until an application for the proposed development is received
with a revised site plan, letter of request in accordance with
FWCC Section 22-1477 for modification t❑ the code required street
improvements, and a TIA for the project.
If you have any further questions, please call me at 661-4137.
Sincerely,
Ronald Garrow, P.E.
