FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
File No. 05-100722-00-UP
ST Fabrication Outdoor Storage and Building Elevation
35703 16th Avenue South, Federal Way
Project Description — The project consists of establishing outdoor storage areas at several designated
locations on the subject property and elevating the existing warehouse structure, "Building B" by
approximately 15 feet.
2. Zoning —Zoning for the subject site is Business Park (BP). This zoning district permits Fabrication,
Assembly and Distribution uses pursuant to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Section 22-860. The
project is subject to Process H, Site Plan Review, as it does not meet the land use process exemptions
under FWCC Sections 22-32 and 22-32.2.
Nonconformance — FWCC Section 22-334 establishes under what circumstances an existing
nonconforming structure must be brought into conformance. The value of the proposed building
elevation to "Building B" is $14,000. The applicant has submitted an appraisal of "Building B"
which indicates the value of the structure is $200,000. No nonconformance threshold is triggered by
the proposed building elevation.
4. Outdoor Storage Areas — The applicant has proposed the following outdoor storage areas: 1) a 40' x
162' outdoor storage area located to the north of Building A; 2) outdoor storage areas along all four
sides of Building B, and, 3) a 20 x 40 outdoor storage area to the east of Building D. All proposed
outdoor storage areas are proposed on existing paved surfaces. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1113,
commercial outdoor storage must comply with the following:
a. Required buffers for the primary use. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-860, the required yards for
the property are 50 feet from the front property line (east property line), 20 feet from the side
property lines (north and south property lines), and 0 feet from the rear property line (west
property line). The proposed outdoor storage areas satisfy this requirement.
b. A minimum six-foot high solid screening fence or other appropriate screening approved by the
Director of Community Development is required around the outside edge of the area devoted to
the outdoor use, activity, or storage. Existing chainlink fence along the north and west property
lines in the areas of the outdoor storage shall be augmented with screening slats to create a sight
barrier. The remaining outdoor storage areas are screened from adjacent properties by existing
structures and topography to the east.
C. The proposed outdoor storage area is not located in the required yards adjoining the residential
properties to the south.
d. The proposed outdoor storage will not inhibit safe vehicular and pedestrian movement to, from,
and on the subject property.
Correspondence
No expansion beyond the approved outdoor storage areas is permitted on the property without
required land use approval.
Accessible Parkin — The applicant has provided an accessible stall along the south fagade of the
building, pursuant to Building Division requirements.
6. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-394(b), and the forgoing findings, the proposal is found to be
consistent with the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan; all applicable provisions of the FWCC; and
with the public health, safety, and welfare.
7. Final construction drawings will be reviewed for compliance with specific regulations and other
applicable City requirements. A building permit is required for this project. These findings shall not
waive compliance with future City of Federal Way codes, policies, and standards relating to this
development.

RE: File No: 05-100722-000-00-UP; REQUEST FOR TECHNICAL'INFORMATION
ST Fabrication, 35703 161h Avenue South, Federal Way
Dear Mr. Cherian:
On February 15, 2005, the City of Federal Way Department of Community Development Services received a.
Process 11 application to elevate and re -side an existing 11,100 square -foot manufacturing building located at
35703 16"' Avenue South, and to create three outdoor storage areas in the immediate vicinity of this structure.
The 207,516 square -foot subject property contains a total of six structures, all of which are currently vacant.
The site was last used by the Federal Way School District as a storage facility; prior to this use the site
operated as a Plastics Manufacturing business.
In order for the City to continue review of your proposal, the following information must be provided:
1) Planning
A. Provide a site plan of Building B at an enlarged scale that allows for accurate delineation in square
feet of the area proposed for outdoor storage. All outdoor storage areas must be located on paved
surfaces, and these areas should be delineated with paint striping. The delineation of the storage
areas on the site plan and on the actual paved areas is intended to establish approved outdoor storage
areas and prevent unauthorized expansion of outdoor storage areas on the property.
B. The submitted elevations show large openings on the north and south facades of the structure. Prior
to the unauthorized raising of the structure, the building was enclosed- Pursuant to Federal Way City
Code (FWCC) Section 22-861, Special Regulations and Notes, the impacts of fabrication, assembly,
and distribution use may be no greater than the impacts of other uses permitted in the zone. As such,
in order to contain the noise generating impacts of the use, the proposed building alterations are
required to include some means of fully enclosing the structure, such as compatible attached siding
or metal sliding doors.
C. Indicate.what screening, if any, is proposed along the property lines.
D. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-334(5), when the use conducted on the subject property has ceased
for more than one year, the applicant shall repair, and/or restore the improvements on the site, such
as drainage, landscaping, curbing, parking, parking lot landscaping, etc., to a condition as near as
physically possible to the condition required by the requirements of approval of the existing
development. Based on site inspection, this requirement would apply to the restriping of parking
stalls in the geographic location of Building B. Please refer to the enclosed memorandum from Scott
Sproul, Plans Examiner, for requirements associated with accessible parking.

E. Be advised that the applicant is also required, as a component of compliance with the
nonconformance section of the code, to remove all rubble and debris, whether construction related
or not, from the site prior to occupancy.
2) Public Works
A. The applicant shall provide an itemized estimate of costs of the proposed improvements to Building
`B', including, but not limited to the following: building structural improvements, improvements to
bring building into compliance with building code, costs to bring building into compliance for fire
protection/suppression requirements, all other proposed interior and exterior improvements to the
building, and any costs associated with the temporary storage area(s). The estimate must also
include the recent un-permitted improvements done to date.
B. Itemized cost estimate(s) of proposed improvements to any of the other building(s) on the site.
Public Works will determine, based on these estimates, whether the costs associated with the site
improvements will meet or exceed thresholds set forth for street frontage or water quality
improvements.
3) Lakehaven Utility District
Please see the enclosed memorandum from Brian Asbury, March 3, 2005.
4) Federal Way Fire Department
An automatic fire sprinkler was required and is still required for existing building B. The automatic fire
sprinkler system that was in building B shall be altered/repaired, subject to the approval of the Fire
Department. Please be advised that the value of repairing or replacing the automatic sprinkler system
must be included in the above -referenced project value estimates. Please coordinate with Greg Brozek of
the Federal Way Fire Department (253-946-7241) for information related to Fire Department
requirements.
5) Building Division
Please refer to the enclosed memorandum from Scott Sproul, Plans Examiner, for information related to
accessible parking requirements.
Upon receipt of the requested information, the City will notify you within 14 days if any additional
information is required. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 253-835-
2644.

ST Fabrication, 35703 16th Avenue South, Federal Way
Dear Jane,
We have prepared the following responses to your request for technical information:
1) Planning
A. The attached Site Plan B shows the areas designated for outside storage. These are divided
into the following areas on existing pavement or concrete:
1. B — north lot (100' x 30')
2. B — east lot (63' x 100')
3. D — east lot (20' x 40')
4. B — south lot (100' x 50')
5. B — west lot (35' x 75')
6. A — north lot (40' x 162')
B. A revised elevation drawing has been submitted for the building permit for Building B. This
steel structure is a Type II-B steel structural frame, roof and walls. The occupancy is F-2 low
hazard, with a total of 8000 square feet. The elevations have been revised to show the
openings on the north and south facades. We will have sliding doors with matching siding to
that of the rest of the structure.
C. Screening has been installed on the chain link fencing along the southwest corner of the
property and along the south fence, just to the west of building C. This will block the visual
impacts of the site to the adjacent neighbors to the south.
D. The van accessible parking stall for Building B is indicated on the Site Plan B and will be striped
and appropriate signage installed.
E. All garbage and debris from construction will be removed from the site.
2) Public Works
A. The following budget is the total improvements to the site that are incurred or will be incurred
prior to occupancy. The table below shows the item description, the prorated cost for Building
B, the total cost for the entire site, the related percentages to the total value:

3) Lakehaven Utility District
We have communicated with Brian Asbury with Lakehaven and have satisfied the requirements of
his March 3rd letter on this matter. Specifically, the hydraulic flow model has determined that there is
sufficient flow at the site. A Water Use Questionnaire has be filled out and side sewer permit
application has been received and is pending.
4) Federal Way Fire Department
An automatic fire sprinkler was required when the building was used for storage of highly flammable
plastics materials. The original structure was an open building with no siding on the north or the
south walls. Even with open walls, the highly flammable nature of the plastics materials stored in
Building B required the automatic fire sprinkler system. Our application is a low hazard operation
with non-flammable components.

The actual metal building is only 8,000 square feet and likely will not require the automatic fire
sprinkler system to be reactivated. We are in communication with Greg Brozek and Chris Ingham of
the Federal Way Fire Department regarding this.

Note to DRC: This site has been vacant for a number of years. In the past-
a fabrications business operated at the site, and therefore, ST Fabrications
(which welds and fabricates metal for bridges and structures, etc), is not
considered a change of use. Because they raised the building, without
building permits or land use approval, and in order to establish outdoor
storage areas on the property, they must now -go thru a USE Process II. You
might want to take a look at some of the old communications in AMANDA on the
property, specifically the Soen You project (which never obtained land use
approval)_
Please be aware that this proposal is only related to the large building in
the northwest -corner of the site (Building B). The other buildings will be
occupied by undetermined tenants at a future date.

Re: Dominion Holdings Site — Move in RequirementstlItttlNC D�'T AY
Dear Mr. Fewins,
As you know, Dominion Holdings LLC recently acquired the property, parcel #2921049107 from Group II
LLC. Dominion Holdings is a subsidiary of our primary business, ST Fabrication, Inc. We currently
operate our fabrication company in unincorporated King County, Auburn, WA. I serve as the managing
partner of Dominion Holdings and the President of ST Fabrication, Inc.
ST Fabrication is a "dba" for Jabez Holdings, Inc., and registered minority business enterprise with the
Office of Women and Minority Business for the State of Washington.
Attached you will find our Master Land Use Application and Site Map. Also enclosed are our engineered
drawings for the lifting of building B. We propose the following use of the property and ask your
assistance in helping us expedite the necessary checks in the approval process to this end.
ST Fabrication would be the primary tenant occupying buildings designated as B and D. Our land use
application is for the lifting of Building B per the attached engineered drawing plan. The only reason for
lifting the building is for increased ceiling clearance, not for any intensification of building use. Our use is
actually a less intensive industrial use than several of the previous tenants.
Our normal business operations include cutting, drilling, grinding, sawing, welding, and primer painting
(using an electrostatic gun, approved with a PSCAA permit) of steel and aluminum. With more than 20
employees, ST Fabrication will be bringing valuable jobs to the City of Federal Way.
We also would use the yard space between the buildings for staging, loading, and temporary storage of
steel building materials. Steel is loaded and unloaded off the trucks and taken into the various shop
areas for production work. Sub -assemblies may be staged in sequence, awaiting subsequent operations
en masse. No additional paving or re -striping is required.
The attached site plan (stamped by a professional engineer) shows the building layouts and the non -
permeable areas that we would use for temporary outside operations and storage. Also labeled are the
buildings and area that would be sub -leased out to designated business park users. The sewer and
water connections are labeled along with the electrical vault.
The zones shown as yellow are the buildings to be occupied by ST Fabrication. The buildings in blue are
those that will eventually be sub -lease to others. The green, brown, and orange zones are non -
permeable ground, either currently paved with asphalt, concrete, or compacted with gravel and other
coarse rock. We do not have any plans for increasing the non -permeable surface area of the site. Our
intention is to only clean up the general debris and repair the broken areas as required for safety.

As I mentioned in our discussions with you, we are accurately informed regarding the issue of storage of
materials and outside operations as it pertains to previous tenants and owners at this site. At this
moment, there are large piles of recycled materials in various, appropriate, non -permeable areas stored
outside. During the process of our purchase, we observed numerous pallets of wood stored inside and
outside of the buildings, transported to and from the site.
An adjoining neighbor to the site on the south was a prior owner (actually his father). They ran a
construction business and earth moving business there for many years prior to leasing it to the plastics
manufacturing company. During their ownership, heavy equipment, i.e., forklifts, loaders, back hoes,
excavators, welding, trucking, etc. all took place inside and outside of the buildings with a regular
frequency. Another local business owner we spoke with almost went to work for the plastics company
and also confirmed the use of the entire yard and buildings in their staging for manufacturing or
fabrication and subsequent shipping. This occurred prior to the incorporation of the City of Federal Way
and after the City's incorporation.
No major improvements are expected for the existing buildings and grounds other than what we have
submitted in the engineering plans for Building B. Sub -lessees will meet all federal, state, and city
requirements.
Buildings A, C, E and F would be sub -leased out to another tenant fitting the approved business park
zoning.
It should be noted that the current zoning for the land is designated as business -park. In Division 10 of
the current zoning code, BP, Section 22-861 allows for Fabrication, assembly and distribution. ST
Fabrication is an AISC (American Institute of Steel Contractors) Fabricator.
Some of our recent projects include the steel for the Pavilions II development in Federal Way, the new
Federal Way Middle school, and the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge. We look forward to moving our
business and operations to Federal Way. Much of our steel is exported to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and
even Diego Garcia, generally supporting the military installation for the US military. As a result, we often
fall under the War Powers Act and have the highest priority in all our commercial transactions. With over
twenty employees, we expect to be a valuable addition to the community.
We would like to proceed with occupancy of the premises and seek your valuable assistance to that end.
Respectfully,
sse Cherian

Re: Dominion Holdings Site — Petition for Process II — Site Plan Review
Dear Mr. Fewins,
We would like to thank you and Jane Gamble for coming out to the site yesterday. I found the exchange
informative and believe that we will be able to move the project along smoothly, complying with the City
and State regulations.
Let me say for the record that we regret having selected the house mover/contractor we hired for lifting
Building B. Since the drawings for the remodel of the building were in hand, they incorrectly assumed this
was sufficient. The electrical contractor that we selected for the electrical repairs did secure a permit and
we are in the process of securing the sewer permit with Lake Haven.
Moving forward, we ask you to consider the following comments and allow us to move through the
Process II — Site Plan Review and not through the Process III which requires a SEPA review. Frankly, the
time delay this will cause will likely require us to abandon the project and loose our down payment and
the monies put into the site work to date.
I have reviewed the documents that Jane Gamble presented containing historical background information
on this site. Two of documents we received reference incomplete applications for other business and we
will address applicable sections to our project as the site review determines appropriate to our project.
The memo from Deb Parker dated 3/15/99, Interoffice Memorandum from the Federal Way Department of
Public Works indicates that there might be a 25% cost threshold that would necessitate some public
works improvements. Our project costs are remarkably different and don't approach the 25% threshold
described in this document.
A recent appraisal (11/23/2003) shows the subject property and improvements valuer! at $1,700,000.
This is our purchase price of the property as well. The buildings themselves in the current state were
valued at $586,000 two years ago. The current value of the buildings is at a minimum $820,000, simply
based on the rise is steel prices in the last 12 months. Using the old appraisal value for the buildings, the
cost of Building "B" is $200,000.00. Here is the scope of our project to get the site open for our business:
Projects required for ST Fab to occupy Cost
electrical mains restored to all buildings $41,000.00
electrical TI for "B" $ 5,000.00
site sewer work & TI for "D" $10,000.00
TOTAL $56,000.00

Telephone: (253) 735-2000. Fax: (253) 887-9323 Fax: (907) 569-6955
As you can see, our total project costs are less than 10% of the building values, even when using a two
year old appraisal. It should also be noted that when just considering the area that ST Fabrication is
requesting occupancy for, the prorated cost of the electrical is only $13,700.00. This means that Our real
cost for moving into building B and D is $28,700.00.
Based upon this we submit that the public improvements described in the 3/15/99 memo are not
applicable to our project.
"WAC 197-11-800 Categorical exemptions, part (3) allows for repair, remodeling, maintenance, or minor
alteration of existing private or public structures, facilities or equipment, including utilities, involving no
materials expansions or changes in use beyond that previously existing;"
Our position is as follows: Part (3) of this code allows for the following:
1. repair
2. remodeling
3. maintenance
4. minor alterations
Any one of these (4) activities are allowed as long as there are no:
a. material expansions
b. changes in use beyond that previously existing
Based upon this, we see each of the (4) activities as distinct, and while they may overlap, they do not
have to overlap. This means that repairs may not be remodeling. Remodeling maybe a repair or
maintenance, but it may not be a minor alteration. You could have a remodel that is neither repair or
maintenance, and not a minor alteration.
Our position is that the lift of building "B" was in fact a remodel (2) that did not have any material
expansion (a) and also did not change in use beyond thatpreviously existing (b). Where is not
change in floor space, footings, number of floors, or surrounding non -permeable space or roof
area. A Process III and SEPA review is not warranted in this case.
The only reason for our remodel was a safety consideration when moving steel around inside a building.
This would apply to steel, wood, plastic or any other project, when moving around inside a low ceiling,
there is a potential hazard.
As I have stated previously, we are a minority business and we do have limited resources. The time it will
take for us to move through this process is of great concern to us. We simply can't sustain the project
costs plus the payments at two locations simultaneous for months on end. We respectfully ask that you
review our positions allow us to proceed with the Process II — Site Review in an expeditious manner.
Respectfully,

Re: ST Fabrication Occupancy Project Description (Total Cost < $ 60,000.00) Ty y CaF FF- MnAl. W Ay
LIUILDINC3 OUPT,
Dear Mr. Fewins,
Here are the specific steps we are proposing for ST Fabrication's Occupancy of Building B & D at the
Dominion Holdings Site:
1. Remodel Building "B" by raising the ceiling per the engineer of record's plan. This will not change
the use of the building, it will not increase the gross floor area, and it will be less than 10% of the
building valuation.
2. Repair Building "B" by removing existing rubble and repairing open or broken walls and ceiling
areas, especially as evidenced in the NW quadrant of the building.
3. Close and secure all panels that have been destroyed or removed during remodeling process (1)
and secure the building with appropriate doors to prevent unauthorized entry.
4. Repair existing electrical service per the permit # 05-100517-00-EL
5. Convert existing septic system by connecting existing sewer at site per the engineer of record's
plan and pending permit.
6. Remove debris piles located on various non -permeable areas observed on 2/9/05 walk through.
7. Repair existing non -permeable areas per site plan, no expansion of non -permeable areas.
8. Verify clean out of storm drainage system.
9. Location of steel storage racks and bunkers per the site plan.
10. Privacy screening on fencing as required.
Here are the specific steps we are proposing to Buildings A, C, E, & F:
1. Repair existing electrical service per the permit #s 05-100518-00-EI, 05-100519-00-EL, and 05-
100520-00-EL.
2. No other remodeling till future tenants are identified and go through City occupancy requirements.

Re: ST Fabrication - Outside Storage and Operations Justification
Dear Mr. Fewins,
We are submitting this letter to lend support to our position of allowing "continued" use of the subject
property for normal fabrication. This includes the fabrication or manufacturing of steel components by
means of the following normal operations at our site:
• Transportation operations — generally loading and unloading of steel materials off and on to flat
bed trucks and containers.
• Manufacturing — fabrication operations including cutting, drilling, sawing, shearing and welding of
steel beams, plates, angles, and bars.
• Painting — fabricated steel is painted using primer paint only using an electrostatic system
approved by Puget Sound Clean Air Agency.
• Staging/storage — steel can be stored in designated areas on a temporary or rotating basis in
designated areas (non -permeable ground) on racks, bunkers or dunnage.
As a manufacturer, we will not be able to move all the steel into the manufacturing flow inside the shop in
any given moment. The general process is to unload the raw steel stock onto the bunkers or racks as is
appropriate and stage it for production. Steel is moved into the manufacturing processes and eventually
a finished part is loaded for transport out. In our shop, we would have steel coming into the south door
and smaller steel through the east door. Finished steel would move out the north door and be staged for
loading. Racks would be used to store small stock for use as operations require. Steel staging and
storage does not increase the non -permeable area of the site at all and is not considered hazardous.
Prior operations at this site have used the outside premises for these kinds of operations. The plastics
manufacturing company had operational use of the entire site, utilizing all six buildings in there
operations. This required materials (hazardous, unlike steel) to be routinely moved between buildings
during the normal use of there operations. Pallets were staged with raw materials prior to bringing them
into the shop and finished products were likewise staged in bulk in the asphalted areas.
in particular, the original owners that still live adjacent to the property ran a heavy construction company
out of this facility. Their operations included mining of peat and other earth materials for construction
sites. They had multiple areas for storage of materials outside.
Just across the street, DBM Construction has their site in the same zoning. Driving through their yard,
you can see steel staged all over on permeable ground. Clearly, this is an allowed used in the zone, and
we are not asking for anything different. Their yard is similar in nature to ST Fabrication, only ten times
the size. Carlile as well has multiple units storage and staged outside.

PROJECT NAME: ST FABRICATION
PROJECT ADDRESS: 35703 16TH AVE S
ZONING DISTRICT: BP
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: UP2 to elevate building higher than existing state and
to add temporary storage and operations per plan.
LAND USE PERMITS:
PROJECT CONTACT:
UP II
ST FABRICATION
PO BOX 876
2537352000 (Work)
MATERIALS SUBMITTED: Site plan
Note to DRC: This site has been vacant for a number of years. In the past
a fabrications business operated at the site, and therefore, ST Fabrications
(which welds and fabricates metal for bridges and structures, etc), is not
considered a change of use. Because they raised the building, without
building permits or land use approval, and in order to establish outdoor
storage areas on the property, they must now go thru a USE Process II. You
might want to take a look at some of the old communications in AMANDA on the
property, specifically the Soen You project (which never obtained land use
approval).
Please be aware that this proposal is only related to the large building in
the northwest corner of the site (Building B). The other buildings will be
occupied by undetermined tenants at a future date.
