The Process III decision crite Proposal must also meet the criteria contained in FWRC 19.145.090(3). 4. Land Use Renew Timeframes — The Planning Division win notify the applicant of the application status 'within 28 days of submittal. If the application is determined complete, staff will issue a Letter of Complete AlopIication. The F'WRC limits the administrative review to 120 days from the date of a 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 mitten notification, or the land use application will expire. 5. Process III applications require a public notice and comment period. Within 14 days of issuing the Letter of Complete Application, a Notice o£Application will be published in the Federal Way Minor, pasted on the subject property, placed at the city's three designated notice boards, Property owners within 300 feet of the subject property, and mailed to 0• Land Use Application Smbxittal Regidrementt — Please refer to the enclosed Bulletin #001, "Submittal Requirements for Use Process III or IV," to determine what materials must be submitted with the land use application, 20-100609-PC Doc ID 80164 Ms. Savanna Nagorski Page 3 of 9 March 18, 2020 7. Effect of Use Process Decision — In accordance with FWRC 19.15.100(2), "Lapse of Approval - Generally," the applicant must substantially complete construction for the development activity, use of land, or other actions approved; and complete the applicable conditions listed in the Use Process decision within five years after the final decision of the city on the matter, or the decision becomes void. Provisions for extension of time are contained within FWRC 19.15.110, "Lapse of Approval — Time Extension." 8. General Zoning Regulations — The use zone chart of FWRC 19.200.010 (enclosed) provides regulations for the proposed use. The applicant should consult the referenced use zone chart prior to submitting a Master Land Use Application to verify all site components and proposed uses will comply with city code. The following is only a portion of the zoning regulations governing the proposed use in the RS zone: Detached dwelling unit (FWRC 19.200.010) Required Yards, Lot Coverage, Building Height, Parking — Required yards, lot coverage, building height, and parking are: i. Front/side/rear setback — 20'/5'/5', Street side setback on a corner lot is 10% see FWRC 19.05.160 "P definitions" for definition of "property line" and item (2), yard setbacks, for flag lots; South 359th Street is a minor collector. ii. Maximum lot coverage —50% iii. Maximum building height — 30' above average building elevation iv. Parking — Two spaces per dwelling unit 9. Wetlands/Reasonable Use — The properties have previously gone through a wetland report peer review. Under city file no. 16-105771-AD it was determined as documented in a September 18, 2017, letter that there is a Category II wetland on -site (Wetland A) with a 165-foot buffer and a Category I wetland off - site (Wetland B) with a 225-foot buffer, and that both parcels were completely encumbered by the buffers from Wetland A and B. The two lots were later reconfigured via a Boundary Line Adjustment (city file no. 18-102925-SU) approved on December 11, 2018, and recorded under King County recording number 20190208900013. The current proposal is for reasonable use of two single-family properties encumbered by wetlands/ buffers. Per FWRC 19.45.090(2), an applicant may apply for a modification or waiver of the provisions of Chapter 19.145 for projects on single-family residential lots using process III. Each property must apply for an receive approval of a Use Process III land use application. A single Use Process III cannot cover both lots because they are two individual project requests on separate pieces of property that must stand on their own. Also, Reasonable Use is to grant the ability to build one home, not two. The previous, June 13, 2016, wetland delineation prepared by Habitat Technologies is valid for a five-year period. The city updated the wetland buffer requirements in the FWRC via Ordinance No. 19-873, adopted in July 2019. As part of the Use Process III submittal, provide a memorandum or report addendum to update the Wetland A and B buffer widths to reflect current code, FWRC 19.145.420. A buffer enhancement/mitigation plan prepared by a qualified professional for development within the wetland buffers will also need to be submitted. In addition, provide a written narrative addressing the Reasonable Use criteria contained within FWRC 19.145.090(3). Regarding Reasonable Use, per FWRC 19.145.090: "(4) If the city grants a request under this section, it shall grant the minimum necessary to provide the applicant with some reasonable use of the subject property, considering the factors described in subsections (3) (a) through (e) of this section. Any approval or waiver of requirements shall result in 20-100609-PC Doc TD 80164 Ms. Savanna Nagorski Page 4 of 9 March 18, 2020 the minimum possible impacts to the function and values and/or risks associated with proposed improvements on affected critical areas. The city may impose limitations, mitigation under an approved mitigation plan, conditions and/or restrictions it considers appropriate to reduce or eliminate any undesirable effects or adverse impacts of granting a request under this section." In response to questions listed by the applicant in the preapplication meeting request submittal: ■ A reasonable size house has been deemed to be a building footprint up to 1,600 square feet, including garage, and the building height as allowed in the use zone chart. ■ The applicant's wetland consultant will need to put together a buffer enhancement/mitigation plan for city review. • A 24' x 24' driveway is too large, as driveway width is limited to 20' per FWRC 19.130.140(1). • If the applicant chooses to use a septic system rather than connect to sewer, that will have to be considered as part of the reasonable use request and may impact the overall proposal and required mitigation. See FWRC 19.145.090(4). 10. Outside Agency Permits— It is the applicant's responsibility to identify and obtain all required state, federal, or other agency permits as may be required. 11. Application Fees & Submittal— Please contact the Permit Center at hcnniscentcr [nr Cirvrrffsdr rapt a�'.cr�tn_, or 253-835-2607, for updated fee schedule information for applications and permits. PUBLIC WORKS — DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIVISION Kevin Peterson, 253-835-2734, kevin.peterson@cityoffederalway.com Land Use Issues — Stormwater 1. At the time of the land use application, a drainage plan shall be submitted that shows how stormwater runoff from all new impervious surfaces will be managed. Currently, the city requires stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP's) to be per the requirements of Appendix C of the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM). 2. If infiltration is proposed, soil logs prepared by a licensed geotechnical engineer or septic designer must be provided to verify infiltration suitability. 3. Show the proposed location and dimensions of any flow control BMP's on the preliminary plans. Right -of -Way Improvements 1. See the Traffic Division comments from Senior Transportation Planning Engineer Sarady Long for traffic related items. 2. All stormwater treatment and detention requirements outlined above may apply to any improvements within the private easements or public right-of-way. 20-100609-PC Doc ID 80164 Ms. Savanna Nagorski Page 5 of 9 March 18, 2020 Building Permit Issues 1. The building permit materials will be reviewed under the city's single-family residential (SFR) permit process. Submittal requirements for SFR permits are available under the city's website for Building Division handouts, or can be picked up at the Permit Center. 2. A stoxmwater System Development Charge will be added to the building permit fees. 3. To assist the applicant's engineer in preparing the plans and TIR, the Federal Way Public Works Development Standards Manual (including standard detail drawings, standard notes, and engineering checklists) is available on the city's website at http://www.cityoffederalway.com/index.aspx?nid=171. 4. 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. 5. Drawings submitted for plan review shall be printed on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" paper. Site plans shall be drawn at a scale of 1" = 20', or larger. Architectural scales are not permitted on engineering plans. 6. Provide cut and fill quantities on the clearing and grading plan. PUBLIC WORKS TRAFFIC DIVISION Sarady Long, 253-835-2743, saradv.ion a cityoffedera1Nva y.cnm Transportation Concurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90) 1. Based on the submitted materials for one lot and the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation - 10th Edition, land use code 210 (Detached Single Family Residential), the proposed project is estimated to generate approximately one new weekday PM peak hour trip and nine daily trips. 2. A concurrency permit is required for this development project. The PW Traffic Division will perform a concurrency analysis to determine if adequate roadway capacity exists during the weekday PM peak period to accommodate the proposed development. 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). 3. The estimated fee for the concurrency permit application is $1,773.00 (1 - 10 trips). This fee is an estimate and based on the materials submitted for the preapplication meeting. The concurrency 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) 1. Based on the submitted materials, the estimated traffic impact fee is $4,251 per lot. The actual fee will be assessed and collected from the applicant when the building permit is issued, using the fee schedule then in effect (FWRC 19.100.070[3] [c]). 20-100609-PC Doc 1D 80164 Ms. Savanna Nagorski Page 6 of 9 March 18, 2020 Street Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135) The applicant/owner will be expected to construct street improvements consistent with the planned roadway cross -sections as shown in Map III-4 in Chapter III of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) shown as Table III-10 (FWRC 19.135.040). Based on the materials submitted, staff conducted a limited analysis to determine the required street improvements. The applicant will be expected to construct improvements on the following streets to the city's planned roadway cross-section: a South 359111 Street shall be a Type "R" street, consisting of a 40-foot street with curb and gutter, 4-foot planter strips with street trees, 6-foot sidewalks, and street lights in a 66-foot right-of-way. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, half street improvements and a three- foot right-of-way dedication are required. The applicant will be expected to construct these improvements at such time a permit application is submitted. a A private easement serving two lots shall be per Dwg No. 3-2CC (16-foot minimum paved road within a 20-foot easement). It appears that the existing trees/vegetation to the west may need to be removed to meet sight distance requirements. Verify intersection sight distance analysis at the private road easement on South 35911, Street. 2. 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 are available through the Public Works Development Services Division. These modification requests have a nominal review fee currently at $344. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT — BUILDING DIVISION Scott Sproul, 253-835-2621, scott.sproul@cityoffederalway.com 1. Building Codes. The structure will be treated as a new building permit application and must meet all current codes. 2. Building PermitApplicalion Process. Copies of the application and checklists may be obtained on our web site at R'u�C.GFL'nfFLdel'alu'al".Cr.7tn. Please note, land use approval is recommended prior to submitting the building permit application to avoid delay in project review. If the project has not received land use approval, it may be placed on hold until land use review is completed. 3. Review Timing. Federal Way reviews plans on a first in, first out basis; however, there are some small projects with inconsequential review requirements that may be reviewed out of order. The first comment letter can be expected within five to seven weeks of the submittal date. Re -check of plans will occur in one to three weeks after resubmittal. Revised or resubmitted plans shall be provided in the same format, size, and amount as the originally submitted plans. Revised/resubmitted drawings shall indicate by means of clouding or written response, what changes have been made from the original drawings.

The following is a general project narrative describing the proposed project concept as well as questions in bold italics related to the various design elements: Zonin The subject properties consist of King County parcels 292104-9060 and -9091 and are zoned RS15.0. They are each approximately 0.86 acres adjacent to S 359th Street and the Hylebos Wetlands site in the City of Federal Way. Both parcels are currently vacant, with no street addresses or improvements except for a gravel driveway for access to adjacent properties. Surrounding uses are as follows: • North: Hylebos Wetland Property Y South: Single -Family Residential East: Single -Family Residential • West: Hylebos Wetland Property 33400 8th Ave S.

However, the site is encumbered by a Category III wetland with 6-7 habitat points, requiring a 150' buffer per FWRC 19.145.420.2. The buffer from this onsite wetland encompasses the entirety of both properties. In addition, the Hylebos Wetlands west and north of the subject sites have a 250' buffer that also overlaps the properties. Please refer to the excerpt from Response to City of Federal Way Letter of February 1, 2019 provided by Habitat Technologies, dated May 10, 2017, for a brief description of the wetlands and a map of onsite wetlands. Applying provisions from FWRC 19.145.440(4-6) is not feasible for development of the site. We understand that FWRC 19.145.090 provides standards related to reasonable use processes within the City. It is our understanding that based on the criteria in (3), a proposed single-family home for each parcel may be approvable. Please provide a list of required reports and permits for approval of a reasonable use within an onsite wetland buffer. Proposed Use and Layout The depicted project layout included with this application proposes to build a single-family home for each of the two lots, maintaining the existing access and extending minimally for the new buildings. The homes will front the existing access that extends north into the two properties from 3591h Please confirm the maximum single-fami/y building footprint size to lot size ratio allowed for a home in a reasonable use situation. Otherwise, please provide the maximum building footprint approvable for these individual sites /fmitigation for the wetland buffers is provided. What extent of mitigation is required to build the single-family KrIll the City also accept a 24' x 24' driveway fronting the house to the existing access easement? Please confirm ff the existing 25' access and utility easement will need to be impro ved. Utilities Water and sanitary sewer services provided by Lakehaven Water and Sewer District are available in the adjacent right-of-way to the property. It is anticipated that these existing water and sewer facilities will provide adequate capacity for the proposed two single-family homes. The property owners may use the most cost-effective approach for sewage disposal, whether it be on -site septic or connecting to the sewer main. Mr. Robert "Doc" Hanst. February 11, 2020 Page 3 Are mains required to extend to serve the 21ots, or can we extend stubs from each home? What are additional requirements if the property owner intends to use an on -site septic system as opposed to connect to the sewer main, in relation to the reasonable use and wetland buffer vicinity? Stormwater What stormwaterrequirements will be placed for the development of the individual homes approved through the reasonable use exception?

This re -assessment process has allowed for additional field data collection, an extended review of seasonal hydrology patterns, and an updated wetland delineation. Item #1 — Describe the methods used for determining the boundary of the West Hylebos Wetland Corridor located offsite and west of the project site as shown on Revised Figure 8. Discussion: As identified within the Environmentally Critical Areas Assessment dated June 13, 2016 the West Fork of Hylebos Creek Corridor was located offsite to the west of the project site. The wetland associated with this corridor adjacent to the project site was identified as best meeting the criteria for designation as a City of Federal Way Category I Wetland with a 225-foot standard buffer. This Corridor would also appear to meet the criteria for designation as a City of Federal Way "Fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas." Additional assessment was completed between early February and mid -May 2017 to provide a more accurate depiction of the approximate edge of the wetland associated with the West Fork of Hylebos Creek Corridor adjacent to the project site. This additional assessment included additional onsite evaluations and a more detailed review of prior wetland assessment surveys of parcels within the local area. As a result of this additional assessment the approximate wetland boundary has been depicted on the Revised Figure 8 (attached). As with the 2016 assessment, the identified wetland boundary for this offsite corridor was not specifically flagged, wetlands, streams, fisheries, wildlife — mitigation and permitting solutions P.O. Box 1088, Puyallup, Washington 98371 253-845-5119 contact@habitattechnologies.net was not defined by the hand-held field GPS (with the exception of the wetland adjacent to the northern boundary of the project site), and was not professionally surveyed following the 2017 assessment. As defined within the Environmentally Critical Areas Assessment dated June 13, 2016 the project site had been modified by prior land use actions. These actions had included the prior import and placement of fill particularly along the northern boundary of the project site. The offsite wetland to the north was identified at the toe of this prior fill using a hand-held GIPS (Off 1 and Off 2) and depicted on the Revised Figure 8. Item #2 — Show the location of all sample plots on Figure W1 and revise field data forms as needed. Discussion: Following the onsite meeting with City of Federal Way environmental review staff a series of additional sample plots was established throughout the project site. The 2107 sample plots are depicted on Revised Figure 8 and were used to provide an updated wetland boundary based on existing site conditions identified between early February and mid -May 2017. The collection of this additional field data, coupled with the 2016 field data, allowed for a refinement of the onsite wetland boundary (Wetland A). The boundary identified during the 2017 assessment period was defined with wooden lath and flagging. Routine mowing of the project site had removed the majority of 2016 wire flagging. As a result of above normal seasonal rainfall events during the early February and mid -May 2017 assessment period the pattern of seasonal surface water movement across the project site was also refined over the 2016 assessment. As noted during 2017 seasonal surface water was identified to move generally from the northeast to the southwest across the project site. No seasonal surface water was identified to enter and travel across the project site from the northern boundary. In addition, no seasonal surface water was identified to exit the site to the west as a result of an elevated buried utility corridor along the entire western boundary of the project site. As noted during the 2016 assessment the onsite surface water appeared to be terminating within the small excavated pond in the southwestern portion of the project site. This area of the excavated pond had been managed as a garden during prior growing seasons. However, as noted during the 2017 assessment onsite surface water was identified to continue to the south from the area of the excavated pond. At the southern boundary of the project site seasonal surface water was identified to enter a created road -side ditch associated with South 359th Street. Once within the created road -side ditch seasonal surface water entered a controlled inlet to a culver leading to the south and out letting to the south of South 359tn Street. 16070 As noted in the Environmentally Critical Areas Assessment dated June 13, 2016 Wetland A was best defined as mixture of managed lawn, garden area, and an excavated farm pond. This wetland was dominated by a grass and herb plant community and included a few trees and shrubs generally around the pond. The 2017 assessment also identified that a portion of the created roadside ditch along South 359th Street also exhibited wetland characteristics. This area (flagged onsite as Wetland B) was regularly managed as a part of roadway maintenance actions and appeared best defined as an "intentionally created feature." As such, this roadside ditch would not appear to be regulated as a "wetland" and the City of Federal Way. In addition, this roadside ditch was located offsite and would require City of Federal Way approval for any work within the right of way. Item #3 — Provide an accuracy statement for the wetland boundary mapping and describe the equipment used to survey/locate the wetland flags. Discussion: The location of the onsite wetland boundary and the sample plots was defined use a hand-held GPS (Garman GPS Map 60CSX). While not survey quality, this GPS identified spot locations typically accurate to within five meters. Accuracy increases with a lack of overhead vegetation obstructions and satellite locations. Item #4 — Revise the wetland rating form based on any adjustments to the wetland boundary. Discussion: As noted above the 2017 assessment identified a few additional site variations not identified during the 2016 assessment. Following this assessment, the wetland rating from for Wetland A has been updated (see attached). During the 2016 assessment Wetland A was identified as within a closed depression with no surface water outlet. However, as noted in 2017 Wetland A exhibited a surface water outflow to the south that entered the created roadside ditch associated with South 359th Street. As such, the rating numbers associated with the character of the surface water outflow from the wetland as depicted in questions D.1.1 and D.4.1 were revised from a score of 'A" to a score of "2." This change dropped the total wetland score from "20" points to "19" points resulting in a change in wetland category from "II" to "III." The standard buffer for either a Category II or Category III Wetland with a habitat score of 6 or 7 points is 165 feet. Please contact me with any questions or directions. Sincerely, Thomas D.
