Dear Mr. Hovland:

FINDINGS OF FACT

2. Site plan modifications include the addition of mechanical equipment on the west side of the building
to be screened with metal screening material. There are no proposed modifications to existing parking
or site landscaping.
3. This Process I application is limited to site plan and exterior building design review.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. The proposed improvements are not exempt from Use Process review as they do not meet criteria set
forth in FWRC 19.15.020, "Exceptions."
2. Process I "Director's Decision" is the appropriate Master Land Use application as the improvements
are to a development site and they do not exceed thresholds set forth in FWRC 19.15.030(1).

Federal Way Discount Guns & Indoor Range
Narrative;
The construction of the tenant improvement for Federal Way Discount Guns and
Indoor Range at 1401 South 324r' Street (the old ScubSet' Building) requires the
elimination of an exiting storefront/window & door at the Western end of the
/North Elevation. The opening will be in -filled with CMU and painted to match the
existing building.
Covered plaza:
To mitigate the elimination of the storefront we have proposed a covered plaza.
The covered area will be 20'X I0'and will be constructed on an existing
concrete sidewalk area (see Site Plan). The structure will be constructed of steel
with a metal roof. The shape will match the sloped roof at the east end of the
building.
Screens @ Mechanical Units;
The indoor gun range will require a separate mechanical system to change air on
an accelerated basis The system has two units: at the east end of the range, a
roof top mounted supply unit will introduce air to the range below. An exhaust
unit is required at the west end of the range - this unit will be mounted on the
existing concrete.
Both units will be screened in a manner that will allow air to move into the units
The screen for the roof top unit will match the existing (red) metal siding.
At the grade unit, a steel frame will be constructed with metal siding at the north
and 'mesh'panels at the west and south to allow air flow. The west panels will
be hinged to act as gates to allow for maintenance. The grade mounted unit will
be galvanized and unpainted to complement the existing colors and materials of
the building.
Enclosures.
• Drawings as required
• Photographs of the existing building
• Picture of the proposed 'mesh `panels @ on grade unit
