3. Geologically Hazardous Areas — Portions of the site are mapped as erosion hazard areas. The east
portion of the site appears to be relatively steep and may meet the criteria of a landslide hazard area.
A geoteclmical report that identifies any geologically hazardous areas on -site and makes
recommendations for construction practices and required mitigation measures, if necessary. See
FWRC 19.160.010.
4. Fees —As development fees change annually, please contact the Permit Center at 253-835-2607 for an
updated fee list prior to submitting your application. Additional utility fees, school impact fees,
concurrency, and engineering plan review fees apply.
5. Lot Size — The zoning for the subject site is RS-15.0. Minimum lot size for each lot is 15,000 square
feet. As depicted, the proposed lots meet or exceed the minimum lot size requirement. Please also
consider the following definition of "lot area" from FWRC 19.05.120:
"'Lot area' means the minimum lot area per dwelling unit based on the underlying zone.
For single-family lots, the area of a vehicular access easement, private tract, flag
pole, or access panhandle shall not be credited in calculation of minimum lot area."
6. Design Criteria — Short plats are subject to the subdivision design criteria of FWRC 18.55.020. -
7. Setbacks— Existing and future residences must conform to the following structural setback
requirements of FWRC 19.200.010, "Detached Dwelling Units": front yard —twenty feet; side yard —
five feet; and rear yard —five feet.
8. Miscellaneous Single -Family Residential Regulations —
a) Maximum height of structures-30 feet above average building elevation.
b) Maximum lot coverage-50 percent.
c) Required parking spaces —two per dwelling unit.
d) Driveway and/or parking pad may not be closer than five feet to any side property line.
9. Open Space — All residential subdivisions are required to provide open space in the amount of 15
percent ofthe gross land area of the subdivision site per FWRC 18.55.060(2). All or some of the open
space requirement 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. Open space fees shall be paid prior to recording
the short plat, unless the applicant chooses to defer the payment via a covenant recorded against each
newly created lot. If the applicant chooses to provide onsite open space, it shall be provided in its owl'
tract and include a combination of the f6llowing types:
Open Space Category

10. Clearing, Grading, and Vegetation and Tree Retention — The short plat is subject to the provisions of
FWRC 19.120, "Clearing, Grading, and Vegetation and Tree Retention." It is recommended that
FWRC 19.120 be reviewed carefully in reference to the proposed short plat. A clearing and grading
plan that meets FWRC 19.120.020 and FWRC 19.120.040 must be submitted with the formal short
plat application, if clearing and grading work is proposed.
The applicant should review FWRC 19.120.110 and provisions for lot size averaging where sites have
slopes of 15 percent or greater. It appears that the subject site may be able to utilize this flexible lot
design standard to result in better use of the site, and reduced impervious surface and stormwater
management costs. The applicant is further encouraged to pursue low impact development (LID)
stormwater management approaches to explore the possibility of meeting some or all of the minimum
open space requirements on site.
Review FWRC 19.120.120 for minimum standards for rockeries and retaining walls. The site design
should minimize the need for rockeries and retaining walls and should not require rockeries or
retaining walls in excess of six feet in height.
The 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. In the case of the 3.31-acre site, 83 tree units are
required (25 3.31 = 82.75, minus any land area deducted for public or private streets). Tree unit
credits are in table 2 of FWRC 19.120.li0-2. The site is currently heavily forested and appears to meet
the tree density requirement. The formal application must indicate if any trees are to be removed.
11. School Mitigation Fees — School mitigation fees (currently $4,215.00 per single-family home) are due
at the time of building permit application for new dwelling units. This fee amount is subject to change
as determined annually by the Federal Way School District.
12. Approval Duration — Short plat preliminary approval expires five years from the date of approval.
Engineering plans must be approved, improvements constructed, and the short plat must be recorded
within the five year time period. No less than 60 days prior to the lapse of approval, the applicant may
request a two-year time extension for the short plat approval.
13. Recording— The city will record the short plat with the King County Division of Records and
Elections subsequent to Public Works Department approval of submitted as -built plans. Prior to
recording the short plat, all surveying and monumentation must be complete. In addition, all other
required improvements must be substantially completed as determined by the departments of
Community and Economic Development and Public Works.

submittal, a preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR), addressing the relevance of the project
to the eight core and five special requirements of the KCSWDM will be required. A Level 1
downstream analysis shall also be provided in the preliminary TIR.
The project appears to drain to a Flood Problem Flow Control Area, which must be verified by the
downstream analysis. If it does drain to a flood problem area, the applicant must design the now
control facility to meet these performance criteria. Otherwise, it would need to meet Conservation
Flow Control standards. The project also lies within an Enhanced Basic Water Quality Area. Water
Quality Treatment shall be designed to meet the treatment criteria of the Enhanced Basic Water
Quality Menu.
3. If infiltration is proposed, soil logs prepared by a licensed geotechnical engineer, or septic designer,
must be provided to verify infiltration suitability.
4. Detention and water quality facilities must be above ground (i.e. open pond). Underground facilities
are allowed only with approval from the City of Federal Way Stormwater Management Division.
5. Show the proposed location and dimensions of the detention and water quality facilities on the
preliminary plans.
6. If more than one acre will be disturbed during construction, a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit may be required. Information regarding this pen -nit can be
obtained from the Washington State Department of Ecology by calling 360-407-6437, or at
�vww.ecv.wa. ovJ roaramsJseaf ac inr�ex.11t:nl.

Bonding is required for all 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 called. 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.
6. The developer will be responsible for the maintenance of all storm drainage facilities (including the
detention and water quality facilities) and 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 private roads and
drainage facilities, including short plats, remain the responsibility of the individual property owners.
7. 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

Transportation Coneurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90)
1. A concurrency permit is required for this development project. The concurrency analysis will
determine if adequate roadway capacity exists during the weekday PM peak period to accommodate
the proposed development project. 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).
2. Based on the submitted materials for eight residential lots, the Institute of Transportation Engineers
(ITE) Trip Generation - 8`" Edition, land use code 210 (Detached Single Family), states the proposed
project is estimated to generate approximately I 1 new weekday PM peak hour trips.
3. The estimated fee for the concurrency permit application is $1,584.50 (11 - 50 Trips). This fee is an
estimate and based on the materials submitted for the preapplication meeting. The concurrency
applicant fee must be paid in full at the time the concurrency permit application is submitted with the
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 eight single family lots, the estimate traffic impact fee is
$25,642. The actual fee will be calculated and paid at the time of plat recording. The applicant may
defer part or all of the impact fee payment amount to either building permit issuance, or to later than
closing of the sale of the single family home. 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 at
the time of plat recording for residential land divisions.
Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) (FWRC 19.135)
1. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared by engineer licensed in the state of Washington is required
for this development project. The engineer should contact the Traffic Division for a scoping sheet in
the initial stages of their study. The TIA should include the following analysis:
■ Sight distance analysis per AASHTO for the proposed accesses.
Street Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135)
1. The applicant/owner would be expected to construct street improvements consistent with the planned
roadway cross -sections as shown in Map III-6 of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) and
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) shown as Table III-19 (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:

gutter, 4-foot planter strips with street trees, 5-foot sidewalks, and street lights in a 60-foot
right-of-way. At a minimum, the improvement shall consist of a 20-foot paved road, 4-foot
planter strips with street trees, 5-foot sidewalks, and street lights. Assuming a symmetrical
cross section, an additional 2 feet right-of-way must be dedicated.
Third Avenue SW is planned as a Type "W" street, consisting of a 28-f6ot street with curb and
gutter, 4-foot planter strips with street trees, 5-foot sidewalks and street lights in a 52-foot right-
of-way. At a minimum, the improvement shall consist of a 20-foot paved road, 4-foot planter
strips with street trees, 5-foot sidewalks, and street lights all within 31 feet right-of-way. The
improvement shall be for the entire length of the property.
■ SW 365th Street (internal street) shall be constructed to a Type "W" street, consisted of a 28-
foot street with curb and gutter, 4-foot planter strips with street trees, 5-foot sidewalks, and
street lights in 52-foot right-of-way. SW 365t" Street shall be extended from the westerly
property to 3`d Avenue SW in order to meet block perimeter standard.
3. 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 a right-of-way modification
requests are available through the Public Works Development Services Division. Please note that
these modification requests have a nominal review fee currently at $105.50.
4. Tapers and transitions beyond the project frontage may be required as deemed necessary for safety
purposes, taper rate shall be WS112/60, or as directed by the Public Works Director.

1. Submit an intersection sight distance analysis for the design vehicle used at the plat access driveway/
intersection with SW 366"' Street and 3`d Avenue SW. The analysis shall be conducted in accordance
to the latest AASHTO guidelines (3.5-foot object height, 3.5-foot driver's eye height, 14.5-foot back
from the edge of the traveled way for passenger vehicles). The analysis must bear the seal of a licensed
engineer in the state of Washington. The sight distance triangle shall be depicted on the plan set.
2. Block perimeters shall be no longer than 1,320 feet for non -motorized trips and 2,640 feet for streets
(FWRC 18.55.010 and FWCP Policy TP21). Therefore, the street layout should be revised to
incorporate an east -west street (SW 365'h Sheet) from the westerly property to 3`d Avenue SW, and a
north -south street (3`d Avenue SW) along the east side of the property for the entire length from SW
366'h Street to the northerly property line. These streets could replace the proposed north -south cul-
de-sac street and the internal road.
3. No street, or combination of streets, shall function as a cul-de-sac longer than 600 feet (FWRC 18.55.010).

PROJECT NAME: MONTEVISTA SHORT PLAT
PROJECT ADDRESS:
ZONING DISTRICT:

RS 15.0
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Proposal to divide one lot into (8) residential lots
LAND USE PERMITS: Preliminary Plat, SEPA
PROJECT CONTACT: MONTEVISTA PARTNERS LLC
11040 MAIN ST Suite 200
MATERIALS SUBMITTED: Preliminary Plat conceptual drawing and 1-page written
statement
Written Statement
This proposal is for an 8 lot single family residential subdivision of Tax Parce1302104-
9069. Access to the property will be from Southwest 366th Street which will require
improvements on Tax Parcel 302104-9173. It is anticipated Tax Parcel 302104-9173 will
be dedicated as right-of-way. However, we need input from the City in regard to the
required improvements along Southwest 366th Street. The proposed site plan shows
access to the adjoining parcel to the west through this subdivision, but we are unsure if
this will be required by the City for future circulation. The applicant would also like to
consider a fee in lieu of providing open space.
This parcel is located within Lakehaven Utility District's service area for both water and
sewer. The applicant would like the District to consider allowing individual septic
systems in lieu of constructing a low pressure sanitary sewer force main to serve the
development.
A pre -application meeting for a proposed subdivision was held in 2007 (File #07-104531-
00-PC) which included this parcel. The proposed subdivision in 2007 included the
adjacent parcel on the west which is not part of this proposed subdivision.

Hi Ray
It was good to meet you yesterday. I was able to talk with our Deputy Public Works Director and Senior Transportation
Planning Engineer about the questions you raised.
Both the north/south and east/west connections are necessary for block perimeter requirements. The City is ok with
locating your N/S road in the center of the property, as shown on your preferred option. However you will need to
extend the road to the center of the north property line. The idea is that it will eventually complete a road connection
located slightly west of 3rd Ave SW. With this alternative, the private gravel access road that is the current 3`d Ave SW
does not have to be improved or dedicated.
Although the City does not normally take over maintenance of short plat drainage facilities, this case will be an
exception since the facility will mainly serve the new public roadway. It will be required to meet City design standards
for walls, which are limited to 8' high. Multiple walls must have a 5' bench between them. Unless they are small, walls
typically have to be reviewed by a structural engineer, which will require additional review time and fees.
If you are able to provide an infiltration facility as we discussed in our meeting, infiltration ponds, trenches, or small
infiltration basins which are all acceptable alternatives if designed per the 2009 KCSWDM. An infiltration tank or vault
would not be an accepted alternative.
Although Best Management Practices are not required for subdivisions, they are encouraged. Section C.2.10 of the
2009 KCSWDM discusses the Native Growth Retention credit that I mentioned. It might be of some use to you, as well
as the other BMP's described in Appendix C such as restricted footprint, wheel strip driveways, minimum disturbance
foundations, permeable or grass grid pavement, etc. While they do put some restrictions on the builder, they
should also reduce the size of the storm facility. Table 5.2.2.A lists how BMP's impact modeling. Only standard asphalt
and concrete are allowed in public right-of-way.
As we discussed in the meeting, improvements will be reviewed under a separate EN approval application. You can
submit for EN approval at the same time you submit for short plat approval, but it is not required. Since a good portion
of the Engineering is necessary for the short plat review to verify that requirements are being met, sometimes it is most
efficient to submit both at the same time.
Please call or email me if you want to discuss anything further.
