preapplication conference. Each section should be read thoroughly. If you have questions, please contact
the representative listed for that section.
PLANNING DIVISION (Matthew Herrera, 253-835-2638, matthew.herrera@cityoffederalway.com)
1. Zoning Designation and Use — The subject property is currently designated Single -Family High
Density Residential (RS 7.2). Staff is also aware the school district is requesting the subject property
be re -designated to Community Business (BC) via the annual comprehensive plan update process.
School uses are permitted within both RS and BC zoning districts with varied bulk limitations
described in item #6.
2. Use Application — As the proposed improvements exceed SEPA flexible threshold limitations
(explained in item #3), the high school will require a Process III Master Land Use application.
Process III is an administrative review conducted by city staff with a final decision issued by the
Director of Community and Economic Development. The Planning Division will notify the applicant
of application status within 28 days of submittal. If the application is determined complete, staff will
issue a Letter of Complete Application. FWRC limits the administrative review to 120 days from the
date of complete application. The 120-day review period will stop any time the applicant has been
requested by the city to correct plans, perform required studies, or provide additional information
needed to issue a decision. The review period will begin within 14 days following submittal of

requested items. Please be advised that any request for corrections and/or additional information
must be provided within 180 days of written notification or the land use application will expire.
Environmental Review — The project is subject to environmental review under the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) as the proposal exceeds flexible thresholds (buildings larger than
12,000 square feet and parking for more than 40 vehicles) pursuant to FWRC 14.15.030(c). The
school district may act as Lead Agency for SEPA purposes, or may request the City to assume Lead
Agency. The city does utilize the optional DNS method of combined land use and SEPA
notifications when environmental checklists are thoroughly completed. If the district acts as Lead
Agency, the city recommends consultation between staff and the district to identify any mitigation
that may be needed prior to issuing a threshold determination.
4. Public Notice — The Process III application will require a 14-day comment period. The Notice of
Application soliciting comments will be published in the Federal Way Mirror, posted at the subject
property, and the official notice boards within the city. Mailed notice to all residences within 300
feet of the subject property is also required. The applicant is responsible for submitting stamped
mailing envelopes for property owners within 300 feet of the school's property. The city's GIS
Division can provide this service for a nominal fee. Please see the enclosed handout for further
information.
Critical Areas — The subject property is within a 10-year Wellhead Protection Zone. The applicant
is required to submit a Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement that discloses the approximate
quantities of hazardous materials that will be stored, handled, treated, used, produced, recycled, or
disposed of in connection with the proposed activity.
As the proposed landscaped area will exceed 10,000 square feet, the applicant is required to prepare
a management manual using best management practices (BMPs) and integrated pest management
(IPM) for fertilizer and pesticide/herbicide applications. The BMPs shall include recommendations
on the quantity, timing, and type of fertilizers applied to lawns and gardens to protect groundwater
quality. The manual should be a component of the landscaping plan set.

Community Design Guidelines — The proposed improvements are subject to an administrative
design review conducted by city staff. Project designers shall strive for overall design continuity by
using similar elements throughout the project such as architectural style and features, materials,
colors, and textures. Building and site design for institutional uses, such as a school, is guided by
FWRC 19.115.100. Please include a written narrative identifying haw the project complies with all
applicable desipZuidelines. Several guidelines applicable to your project are below.
a. Building Fagade Modulation and Screening Options — As all four building facades are longer
than 60 feet and visible from rights -of -way or residential uses, all four facades are required to
incorporate at least two of the four listed treatments:
i. Fagade Modulation — A minimum depth of two feet, minimum width of six feet, and
maximum width of 60 feet. Alternative methods to shape a building such as angled or
curved facade elements, offset planes, wing walls, and terracing will be considered,
provided that the intent of the section is met.
ii. Landscape Screening — Eight -foot -wide Type II landscape screening along the base of the
facade, except Type IV may be used in place of Type II for facades that are comprised of
50 percent or more window area, and around building entrances.
iii. Canopy or Arcade — As a modulation option, canopies or arcades may be used only along
facades that are visible from a right-of-way. Minimum length is 50 percent of the length of
the favade using this option.
iv. Pedestrian Plaza — Plaza square footage is equal to one percent of the gross floor area of
the building, but it must be a minimum of 200 square feet. The plaza should be clearly
visible and accessible from the adjacent right-of-way.
The above -referenced "two of four" options shall be incorporated along the entire length of the
facade, in any approved combination. Options used must meet the dimensional standards as
specified above, but if more than two are used, dimensional requirements for each option may
be modified. The proposed plan does not meet this requirement.
b. Significant Structural Modulation — As all four building facades exceed 120 feet in length and
are visible from rights -of -way and residential zones, a significant structural modulation (offset)
is required to be incorporated into the building design for each facade. The minimum depth of
the modulation shall be approximately equal to 10 percent of the total length of the subject
facade and the minimum width shall be approximately twice the minimum depth The
modulation shall be integral to the building structure from base to roofline. It appears the
facades do not meet this requirement.
c. Entrance —The entrance fagade shall front on, face or be clearly recognizable from the right-of-
way and shall incorporate windows and other methods of articulation.
d. Pedestrian Circulation — Pedestrian pathways from rights -of -way to primary entrances, from
parking lots to primary entrances, and pedestrian areas, shall be accessible and clearly
delineated. Walkways shall be provided between the interior of the project and the public
sidewalk and must be a minimum of six feet wide. Pedestrian pathways and pedestrian areas
13-101307

April 30, 2013
should be delineated by separate paved routes using a variation in paved texture and color.
Approved methods of delineation include: stone, brick or granite pavers; exposed aggregate; or
stamped and colored concrete. Paint striping on asphalt as a method of delineation is not
encouraged.
e. Pedestrian Areas — Pedestrian areas and amenities should be incorporated in the overall site
design. Pedestrian areas include but are not limited to outdoor plazas, courtyards, and seating
areas. Pedestrian amenities include but are not limited to outdoor benches, tables and other
furniture, and landscaping. Pedestrian areas should be easily seen, accessible, and located to
take advantage of surrounding features such as building entrances, open spaces, significant
landscaping, unique topography or architecture, and solar exposure.
f. Parking Lots — Parking lots should be broken up into rows containing no more than 10 adjacent
stalls, separated by planted areas. Pedestrian connections through the parking lot to the building
and sports areas need to be provided. Parking and vehicle circulation areas shall be clearly
delineated using directional signage.
g. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) — Implementation of CPTED
principles (Natural Surveillance, Access Control, and Ownership) is required. The enclosed
CPTED checklist must be submitted with the formal land use application.
h. Appurtenances — Outdoor furniture, fixtures, and streetscape elements, such as lighting,
freestanding signs, trellises, arbors, raised planters, benches, and trash receptacles should be
incorporated into the site design.
i. Chainlinkfencing— Any chainlink fencing visible from right-of-way or adjacent properties
shall utilize vinyl -coated mesh, powder coated poles, dark colors and architectural elements
such as pole capes and/or decorative grid pattern.
j. Lighting — In addition to CPTED lighting standards, the following shall apply: lighting levels
shall not spill onto adjacent properties; lighting shall be provided in all loading, storage, and
circulation areas; lighting standards shall not reduce the amount of landscaping required for the
project; and lighting fixtures shall not exceed 30 feet in height and shall include cutoff shields.
A photometric lighting plan that meets the standards of the Illuminating Engineering Society
(IES) minimum outdoor light levels will be required with the Process III application.
8. Landscaping — A landscape plan prepared by a Washington State licensed landscape architect shall
be submitted with the formal application. Please follow general guidelines outlined in FWRC
19.125.040 (1) through (26) when preparing the site plan and planting schedule. The following
regulations are specific to your proposal:
a. Perimeter — A 15-foot-wide Type I landscaping screen will be required along the entire western
property line abutting the single-family residences. A 5-foot Type.III landscaping screen will be
required along the remaining frontages with the exception of those frontages where 0' setbacks
are specified as no perimeter landscaping is required. Perimeter landscaping adjacent to parking
lots will need increased evergreen planting to screen automobiles.

b. Parking Lot — For each parking space, twenty-two square feet of interior lot Type IV shall be
provided. Landscaping is required to be installed at the ends of all rows of parking and
disbursed throughout the interior parking area. The landscaping plan must list the specific size
of each landscape island proposed for interior parking lot landscaping in order to verify the
required square footage is provided. The applicant is encouraged to use landscaping islands as
green stormwater infrastructure if feasible.
c. Tree Retention/Replacement — The landscaping plan will need to identify if the minimum tree
density requirements are met via existing tree cover. BC zoned sites are required to maintain at
least 20 tree units per acre. If the site does not have the specified number of credits the
applicant is required to provide a minimum of one tree unit for each 500 square feet of building
expansion (proposed total square footage minus existing total square footage). If onsite planting
to meet this requirement is not feasible, offsite planting on another school district property
would be considered. Please see the tree unit credit chart FWRC 19.120.130-2 for details
regarding the credit assignments for existing and replacement trees.
d. Screening of Blank Walls - Building walls which are uninterrupted by window, door, or other
architectural feature(s) that are 240 square feet or greater in area, and not located on a property
line, shall be screened by landscaping. Such planting shall include trees, shrubs, and
groundcover appropriate for the area proposed.
9. Parking — High schools are required to provide one stall for each employee and one stall for each 10
students. Please provide a calculation that details compliance with this requirement. Ample bicycle
parking should also be provided.
10. Nonconforming Development — The new high school will be viewed as a new and separate
structure on an already developed site as set forth in FWRC 19.30.090(1)(a)(ii). If no improvements
are proposed within the stadium area, then the lighting fixtures will not be required to come into
compliance with the current height limitations.
11. Clearing and Grading — The applicant is required to obtain clearing and grading plan approval as a
component of Process III approval. Please consult FWRC 19.120.040(1) for items that are required
to be included on the plan. Any needed rockeries or retaining walls shall be limited to six feet in
height as measured from finished grade at base of wall to top of wall with a minimum three-foot
landscaped setback at the base of each rockery or retaining wall. Rockeries and retaining walls
visible from a public right-of-way or adjacent property shall be composed of rock, brick, or other
textured/patterned wall styles.
12. Garbage & Recycling Receptacles — The design of the enclosure area should be consistent with the
architectural design of the primary structures on the site. The enclosure shall be screened from the
abutting property by a 100 percent sight -obscuring fence or wall and appropriate landscape screen.
The minimum size for the garbage and recycling storage area shall be 65 square feet.
13. Application Fees —Please contact the Permit Center at 253-835-2607 for updated fee schedules for

Land Use Issues — Stormwater
Surface water runoff control and water quality treatment will be required per the 2009 King County
Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the 2009
KCSWDM. This project meets the requirements for a Full Drainage Review. At the time of land use
site plan 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 City has V = 100',
five-foot contour planimetric maps that may be used for basin analysis.
2. The project lies within a Flood Problem flow control area, thus the applicant must design the flow
control facility to meet this performance criteria. 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. Best Management Practices (BMP's) must also be
implemented onsite.
3. In addition to the KCSWDM, our initial review suggests that FWRC 19.30.120, "Nonconforming
Water Quality Improvements" applies to this site. Specifically, the following items are applicable:
La. Redevelopment which involves the creation or addition of impervious surfaces having an area of
5,000 square feet or more;
1.b. Redevelopment which involves the construction or replacement of a building footprint or other
structure having a surface area of 5,000 square feet or more, or which involves the expansion of a
building footprint or other structure by 5,000 square feet of surface area or more;
l .c. Redevelopment which involves the repair or replacement of 5,000 square feet or more of an
impervious surface, when such redevelopment is not part of a routine maintenance activity;
Ld. Redevelopment which involves the collection and/or concentration of surface and/or stormwater
runoff from a drainage area of 5,000 square feet or more;
l .g. Redevelopment, other than normal maintenance or other than the tenant improvements, but
including any increase in gross floor area, in any one consecutive 12-month period which exceeds 50
percent of the assessed or appraised value (whichever is greater) of the structure or improvement
being redeveloped. The applicant may provide an appraisal of the improvement. The appraisal must
be from a source acceptable to the City. The Director may require the applicant to provide an
appraisal from a second source acceptable to the City if the assessed valuation appears to be
inaccurate or inappropriate. If more than one appraisal is provided by the applicant or required by
the City, the greater of the two amounts shall be used. For purposes of this determining value under
this section, improvements required pursuant to FWRC Sections 19.30.090 (nonconforming
development), 19.30.110 (street/sidewalk improvements), 19.30.120 (nonconforming water quality
improvements) and 19.135.030 (street/sidewalk improvements) shall not be counted towards the 50
percent threshold which would trigger application of this subsection;
13-101307 Doc ID. 63207
Ms. Baumann
Page 8
April 30, 2013
Therefore, water quality treatment will be required for the entire site, including new and existing
pollution generating impervious surfaces. Treatment options must be selected from the Enhanced
Basic Water Quality Menu provided in the KCSWDM.
4. Soil logs prepared by a licensed geotechnical engineer or septic designer must be provided to verify
infiltration suitability.
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.
6. Show the proposed location and dimensions of the detention and water quality facilities on the
preliminary plans. If landscaping is part of a proposed drainage feature, a landscape plan must be
included in the civil drawings.
7. If more than one acre will be disturbed during construction, a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit may be required. Information regarding this permit can be
obtained from the Washington State Department of Ecology at
h ://www.ec .wa. oy/ ro s/sea/ac/index.html, or by calling 360-407-6437.
Right -of -Way Improvements
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.
All stormwater treatment and detention requirements outlined above will be applied to new
impervious area within the public right-of-way.
4. FWRC 11.05.110 requires that overhead utility lines be relocated underground if over 500 feet, or
three spans are affected by a project. This condition will be applied to 16'h Avenue South, South
304'h Street, and South 308'b Street.
5. Include landscape and irrigation plans for right-of-way landscaping in the civil plan set. Irrigation
will be required on South 300 Street, South 308" Street, and 16"' Avenue South. Separate meters
may be required for right-of-way irrigation. This will be determined during engineering review.
Building (or El) Permit Issues
Engineered plans are required for clearing, grading, road construction, and utility work. Plans must
be reviewed and approved by the City. Engineering review fees are $824.50 for the first 12 hours of
review, and $68.00 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/seal
of a professional engineer registered/licensed in the State of Washington.
13-101307 Doc I D 63207
Ms. Baumann

April 30, 2013
2. The Federal Way Development Standards Manual (including standard detail drawings, standard
notes, and engineering checklists) is available on the City's website at www.cityoffederaiwgy.com to
assist the applicant's engineer in preparing the plans and TIR.
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.
4. 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 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.
5. 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.
6. Drawings submitted for plan review shall be printed on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" paper. All final
approved drawings shall be drafted/plotted on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" mylar sheet with permanent
black ink. Site plans shall be drawn at a scale of 1" = 20', or larger. Architectural scales are not
permitted on engineering plans.
Provide cut and fill quantities on the clearing and grading plan. Erosion control measures, per
Appendix D, 2009 KCSWDM, must be shown on the engineering plans.
The site plan shall show the location of any existing and proposed utilities in the areas affected by
construction.
PUBLIC WORKS TRAFFIC DIVISION (Sarady Long, 253-835-2743, sarady.long@cityoffederalway.com)
Transportation Concurrency 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 a 230,000 square feet high school and the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation - 8`h Edition, land use code 530 (High School), the
13-101307 Doc 1.D 63207
Ms. Baumann
Page 10
April 30, 2013
proposed project is estimated to generate approximately 223 weekday PM peak hour trips. The City
would support allowing credit for an existing high school building, which would reduce the total
trips by approximately 189 trips. As such, the net new trips would be 34 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
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 a 230,000 square feet high school building and credit for an existing
195,227 sq. ft. building, the estimated traffic impact fee is $90,528. Please note, the actual impact fee will
be calculated based on the fee schedule in effect at the time a building permit application is filed and must
be paid prior to permit issuance.
Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) (FWRC 19.135)
1. A Transportation Impact Analyses (TIA) to identify transportation impacts of development projects
and provide appropriate mitigation measures is required. The TIA is required to assess additional -
project impacts beyond those that were identified under the concurrency permit process. Mitigation
improvements necessary beyond those identified in the TIP to meet the city's adopted level -of -
service standards are required to be provided by the applicant.
2. 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:
• Signal warrant analysis and left -turn lane warrant analysis at site accesses on South 308`h Street.
• Sight distance analysis per AASHTO for the proposed access.
• Queuing analysis at access points including school bus loading area for morning, evening, and
Saturday peak hours if applicable. The analysis should also look at school bus queuing at
intersections with heavy left -turn volume.
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-6 of the FWCP and Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) shown as Table 11I-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:
South 308`h Street is a Minor Collector planned as a Type "R" street, consisting of a 40-foot
street with curb and gutter, 4' planter strips with street trees, 8' sidewalks, and street lights in a
66' right-of-way (ROW). Assuming a symmetrical cross section, 3' ROW dedication and half -
street improvements are required as measured from the street centerline. The Bicycle and
13-101307
Dce I D 63207
Ms. Baumann
Page 11
April 30, 2013
Pedestrian Master Plan identified this street as a Bike Boulevard, which may require striping
and signage along this stretch of roadway.
South 304`h Street is a Minor Collector planned as a Type "R" street, consisting of a 40-foot
street with curb and gutter, 4' planter strips with street trees, 8' sidewalks, and street lights in a
66' right-of-way (ROW). Assuming a symmetrical cross section, 3' ROW dedication and half -
street improvements are required as measured from the street centerline. The west half of
property is classified as a Bike Boulevard under the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
16'h Avenue South would need to be upgraded to City standard, which shall consist of a 40'
street with curb and gutter, 4' planter strips with street trees, 6' sidewalks, and street lights in a
66' right-of-way (ROW). The applicant may also pursue a street vacation. This process would
require council action.
2. The owner may be required to dedicate additional right-of-way (ROW) to accommodate additional
turn lane improvements if identified in the transportation analysis and/or property corner radius.
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 request is available through the Public Works Development Services Division. Please
note that these modification requests have a nominal review fee.
4. Tapers and transitions beyond the project frontage may be required as deemed necessary for safety
purposes, taper rate shall be WS^2/60 or as directed by the Public Works Director.
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 34A in the Public Works Development Standards.
2. Access may be further restricted if such access would interfere with the 95'b percentile queue lengths
from any existing traffic control device.
3. The City currently has a project under design by KPG to construct a mini -roundabout at South 308'k
Street and 14'h Avenue South intersection. The easterly driveway on South 30e Street will be
impacted by this project. Please coordinate driveway design and improvement on South 308'' Street
with KPG (Richard Hutchinson — 253.627.0720 Ext. 293).
4. For driveways that serve uses other than single-family residential uses and zero lot line townhouse
development, the maximum driveway width is 30 feet for a two-lane two-way driveway and 40 feet
for a three -lane two-way driveway (FWRC 19.135.270). Driveway widths may be increased in order
to provide adequate width for vehicles that may be reasonably expected to use the driveway, as
determined by the Public Works Director.
5. The applicant must submit a Vehicle Turning Diagram to the Public Works Traffic Division. This
diagram will show how the appropriate design vehicle (such as: Bus, Garbage Truck, and WB-62)
13-101307 Doe. I.D. 63207

April 30, 2013
can enter, maneuver, and leave the site without encroaching onto opposing traffic lanes or mounting
a curb.
6. The applicant should be forwarded to King County METRO and Pierce Transit for any transit
requirements.
7. Please verify intersection sight distance analysis for all driveways in meeting AASHTO sight
distance requirement. The analysis shall be conducted in accordance with the latest AASHTO
guidelines (3.5 ft object height, 3.5 ft driver's eye height, 14.5 ft 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 and shall state if the sight
distance requirements are met or not and provide any traffic safety mitigation measures if applicable.
PUBLIC WORKS - SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING DIVISION (Rob Van Orsow, 253-835-2770,
robv@cityoffederalway.com)
Solid Waste & Recycling Design Considerations
Solid waste and recycling design considerations include:
• Adequate space allocation for interior and exterior garbage, recycling, food waste, waste oil, yard
debris, hazardous waste, or biohazard collection containers. Minimum recycling space allocation is
established by FWRC 19.125.150.
■ For basic solid waste and recycling needs within a single enclosure, clear interior dimensions
measuring 10' deep by 20' across are recommended, along with a two -door swing -open or roll -open
gate that spans the front width of the enclosure. When gate doors are opened, no structure or
hardware should remain above grade across the enclosure opening. Gate pins/holes are preferred for
holding gates in closed and open positions to ease service access and maximize the life of gate
hardware.
• Sites may require a larger enclosure, or multiple enclosures, to accommodate on -site user access
and/or additional waste types and containers.
■ Plan for user access to interior waste and recycling storage areas/containers, and to exterior
containers screened by enclosure(s).
Plan for unobstructed, safe enclosure ingress and egress for service vehicles, directly in line with
enclosure openings. Allow appropriate turning radii for service vehicles, and minimize potential
`blind spots' during ingress and egress.
• Consider landscaping, setbacks and screening requirements [based on FWRC 19.125.040 (4) & (5)].
® Note that larger -scale commercial or multi -unit housing developments may see long-term savings
from the use of on -site waste compaction equipment. Planning for this equipment may require larger
enclosure dimensions, defined overhead clearances, consideration of power utility access, and
drainage management.
■ Mixed -use developments may also benefit from on -site waste compaction equipment. Additional
mixed -use development considerations include:
o Designated chutes and/or internal facility maintenance areas or services for tenants,
o Moving waste and recycling streams from interior units to collection areas, and
o Access by business tenants and/or residents to exterior waste and recycling areas.

Water
• A Certificate of Water Availability issued separately by Lakehaven may be required to be submitted
with any land use and/or building permit applications (check with land use agency for requirement).
Certificate is valid for one (1) year from date of issuance. If Certificate is needed, allow 10 work
days to issue for typical, 3 work days for accelerated, processing.
• Existing water system hydraulic model information for this site/area from 2003 (FF# 174) indicates
that Lakehaven's standard maximum allowable system velocity of 10 ft/s is exceeded at a fire flow
rate greater than 6,700 gpm (32 psi residual pressure). Fire flow capacities greater than 6,700 gpm
may be accommodated through water system improvements.
• A Developer Extension Agreement will be required to construct new and/or abandon existing water
distribution facilities for the proposed development. Additional detail and/or design requirements
can be obtained from Lakehaven by completing & submitting a separate application to Lakehaven
for a Developer Extension Agreement. Lakehaven continues to encourage
owners/developers/applicants to apply for Lakehaven processes separately to Lakehaven, early in the
pre-design/planning phase to avoid delays in overall project development.
• Depending on the final approved design, new water main greater than 8-inch diameter may be
required, and if so this construction should be identified in the SEPA checklist (e.g., "Potential for
new main greater than 8" diameter exists") prepared and submitted for the proposed land use action.
If main greater than 8-inch diameter is ultimately required and is not sufficiently addressed in the
initial SEPA checklist and approval, a separate SEPA process may be required prior to authorizing
construction of any new water system facilities.
• The site has the following existing water service connections (meter location/area references
provided):
• Domestic, Pool: 2" meter, SN 8359.

Statement of existing and proposed use for all structures located on the site.
The Federal Way High School Site currently houses Federal Way High School, Memorial
Stadium, FWPS Nutrition Services and the former Kenneth C. Jones Pool. It is the intent of
Federal Way Public Schools to replace some or all of these existing buildings with a new high
school facility on the same site that will house the current student population in approximately
230,000 square feet, with associated parking, athletic fields and relevant services. The existing
Memorial Stadium will remain. Nutrition Services is moving to their newly constructed facility
on 332nd.
Provide a statement of architectural design intent, including finish materials and colors.
Material selections have not been made, but the design of the new school will complement its
surroundings.
The District and the design team are continuing to explore several site plan options; the three
current plans are submitted for your review and comment.

All newly constructed frontages within the City Center (as defined within the City's
Comprehensive Plan) shall be required to irrigate the landscaping within the ROW.
Upon the completion of the 2-year maintenance period, maintenance and upkeep of the
landscaping will be the responsibility of the adjacent property owner. As such, a separate
metering and control system for irrigation would not necessarily be needed, however, a
license for the installation and operation of the irrigation system within the ROW shall be
obtained.
All newly constructed frontage improvements that fall outside the City Center (as defined
within the City's Comprehensive Plan) and are not located along any of the roadway
segments listed in Table 1, shall be the responsibility of the adjacent property owner.

CITY OF
Federal Way
Date: March 13, 2007
To: Public Works Staff
From: William S. Appleton, P.E., Development Services Manager
RE: Clarification on Irrigation Policy
Overview:
As part of the development and or redevelopment of pro perty within the City of Federal
Way, frontage improvements are often required, and in many cases these improvements
include the addition of landscaping strips that are planted with street trees and grass.
Once constructed, the developer is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the
landscaping for a period of 2-years, after which either the City or the adjacent property
owner will be responsible for ongoing maintenance of the frontage landscaping.
It is the intent of this memorandum to provide clarification on the following landscaping
issues:
Following the expiration of the 2-year maintenance bond, who assumes
responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of landscaping in the ROW.
■ When are irrigation systems required within ROW landscaping.
When should irrigation systems that are required be metered and turned over to
the City following the 2-year maintenance period.
Clarification:
Newly constructed frontages along those roadway segments listed in Table 1 shall be
irrigated. Ownership of the irrigation system and maintenance of the landscaping
following the expiration of the 2-year maintenance period shall also be as shown in Table
1. Those systems taken over by the City of Federal Way shall be designed and
constructed with a separate metering and control system. Irrigation systems that remain
private are not required to install a separate metering system, however, a license for
installation and operation of irrigation systems within the ROW shall be obtained.
