RE: File No. 18-102360-00-AD;
Christensen Cabana Rebuild, 204 SW 292"d Street, Federal Way
Dear Ms. Kline:
This letter is in response to your May 31, 2018, inquiry regarding permit requirements for demolishing
the existing 1,090 square -foot building and replacing it with an approximately 385 square -foot accessory
(cabana) building as described in your request and associated preliminary design plans. Based on your
description and preliminary design plans, the proposed building will be smaller than the existing building
and will not be more nonconforming than the existing building. The proposed changes will also require
stabilization of the existing slope around the building.
After reviewing the proposal, description, and previous review by City staff on a previous similar
proposal at the site, the requirements for the replacement cabana are largely the same as identified in the
City's June 22, 2015, letter from Planning Manager Isaac Conlen to Karen Kline.
All of the review process and permit requirements except as noted below are the same as previously
outlined, as no applicable codes have changed since the 2015 review. The following will expand on a
couple of potential code issues identified in the June 22, 2015 letter.
To clarify, a geotechnical report and review will be required as previously identified in item 1
under potential code issues. When you submit the geotechnical report to the City, we will require
third party review of the report by one of the City contracted geotechnical consultants. The
applicant will be required to pre -fund review by outside City consultants. An Administrative
Decision application (enc.) must be submitted with submittal of the geotechnical engineering
report. Four copies of the report plus a copy on disk must be submitted to the City.
2. Items 2 — 5 outlined in the June 22, 2015, letter all apply and must be met and submitted to the
City.
3. In accord with state law, the proposal is required to submit a floodplain permit application with a
Habitat Assessment. The Habitat Assessment must be prepared by a qualified professional
familiar with the assessment process. If any habitat is found to be impacted by the development,
then a mitigation plan will have to be prepared, submitted and approved. Any required mitigation
must be completed or financially guaranteed before any building permit can be issued.
Ms. Kline

4. An affidavit must be provided by the property owner, stating that the cabana will not be used as
an accessory dwelling unit. Absent this affidavit, the structure would be required to comply with
the ADU requirements and registered as an ADU.
5. With the building permit application for the cabana, provisions for sewer service to the proposed
building must be identified.
6. The applicant is responsible for identification and compliance with any applicable state and/or
federal permit requirements.
The above is not intended to represent permit review comments, but simply to alert you to several issues
so that you are aware of the relevant code sections and can address those in your application submittal.
The Federal Way Revised Code can be found online at http://www.codepublishing.com/WA/FederalWay/

Accessory Building (Cabana) Remodel ��
rlacrrintinn of rtpnu Qt
Please advise on all permit materials needed in order to modify an existing, legally nonconforming accessory building
within a shoreline jurisdiction. The proposal will include the demolition of the existing building to be replaced with a
smaller accessory building and deck, that will not be more nonconforming than the existing building. The proposed
enclosure plus deck will occupy less than the original building footprint, in order to conform to the side yard setback.
The enclosed space will be reduced from 1,090 SF to 385 SF. The proposed changes will require stabilization of the
existing slope around the building.
List/Describe Attachments
Attachments include 1) site plan locating the 1,090 SF accessory building to be replaced by a new 385 SF enclosure
plus deck, occupying less than the original building footprint; 2) floor plan of the proposed modification; 3) 3D images of
the proposed structure.
