■ Planning Division
1. As proposed, the lots do not achieved the minimum lot size in the RS 15.0 (15,000 square feet per
FWRC 19.200.010[1][b]). Lot size averaging is only an option for land divisions on areas with slopes
of 15 percent or greater (FWRC 19.120.110).
2. The subject property is located in a geologically hazardous area on city mapping. Please submit a
geotechnical engineering report pursuant to FWRC 19.145.250 with your formal application.
3. All residential subdivisions are required to provide open space in the amount of 15 percent of the
gross land area of the subdivision site per FWRC 18.55.060(2). All or some of the open space
requirement may be satisfied by a fee -in -lieu payment at the discretion of the Parks Director. If open
space is provided onsite, it shall be provided in its own tract. As with other tracts, an open space tract
cannot count towards the minimum lot area of the lots.
4. Proposals of four -lots or more must provide a school access analysis pursuant to FWRC 18.55.070(1).
■ Public Works Development Services Division
5. Based on our initial review, it appears that a conveyance system will have to be constructed to safely
convey stormwater runoff across the downstream property(ies). The conveyance system will have to
connect into a city -owned drainage system.
6. Any street widening/improvements required by the Traffic Division would likely necessitate the
relocation of existing utility poles. Per FWRC 11.05.110(1), a relocation necessitated by a public
works project requires replacement of existing aerial facilities (three or more spans and/or 500 feet
or more) which shall be (relocated) underground.
■ Public Works Traffic Division
Due to permitting volumes, comments will be sent under separate cover.

clearing and grading work is proposed.
13. Tree Density Requinments — The plat will be subject to tree density requirements of FWRC 19.120.130(1);
note that 25 tree -units per acre are required for single-family zoned sites. A tree unit is a value assigned to
existing trees retained on the property or replacement trees. The larger the tree, the greater value it is
assigned. Required tree density can be composed of retained trees and replacement plantings per FWRC
19.120,130. The tree and vegetation plan must clearly show where the tree units are to be located. The
formal application must indicate what trees are to be removed.
In the case of the 1.57-acre site, approximately 40 tree units are required (25 x 1.57 = 39.25). Tree unit
credits are in Table 2 of FWRC 19.120.130(2). Per FWRC 19.120.130(3), the total number of tree units
required to be provided is calculated by multiplying gross site acreage, minus any proposed public or
private streets.
Meeting Follow -Up: Tree unit requirements will also be reviewed at the time of a building permit for each
lot. The preliminary landscaping, clearing, grading, and vegetation plan may depict general tree locations.
14. Sewage Disposal — The applicant must provide documentation that each lot in the subdivision will either
connect to the public sanitary sewer system or provide an on -site septic system. The city does not have
any code provision requiring connection to the sanitary sewer system. The continued use of the existing

RE: AUNT GERIE'S 4 LOT SHORT PLAT PREAPPLICATION CONFERENCE
Address: 30005 2111 Ave SW
Parcel: 021039004
Zoned: RS15
Area: 68,398 sqft
Current Use: (1) Single Family Residence w/ Detached Garage
Proposed Use: 4 Lot Short Plat for Single Family Use
Narrative:
We are seeking guidance on procedures and requirements required in order to subdivide Aunt Gerie's parcel
through the short plat process. It appears to us that the site could yield 4 buildable lots with 1 storm tract.
There are no significant trees on the parcel, nor any wetlands, streams or bodies of water mapped. The
Puget Sound is about 1,000 feet north of the site.
There is an existing 8" water main in 21 s' which ends with a fire hydrant at about in line with the existing
residence.
The nearest sewer connection point is 1,600 feet south of the project site at the intersection of SW 306'h
Place and 21 s' Ave SW. The proposed short plat can not bear the cost of a 1,600 foot main extension, nor is
a gravity connection feasible due to the elevation of site relative to the connection point. Individual septic
systems appear to be the only viable option.
Ideally, storm water would be addressed with an infiltration gallery in the proposed storm tract, otherwise
some sort of retention system with flow regulated dispersed release north along the current flow path.
Of particular concern is access to the site which is fronting a private leg of 21 s' Ave SW. The leg runs
approx. 1,000 feet and dead ends with no turnaround. The current paved width varies between 14 feet and
16 feet. Due to the limited space available in the existing condition we propose improving the frontage with
a 20' paved access and hammerhead turnaround on the parcel. Storm runoff would be collected in a
roadside ditch and directed to the proposed storm tract.
We thank you for your time and look forward to discussing these issues with you directly.
James Kerby
