period to accommodate the proposed development. This is a pass/fail test. Please note that if the
proposed project does not pass and creates an impact not anticipated in the six -year Transportation
Improvement Plan (TIP), supplemental transportation analysis and concurrency mitigation fees may
be required.
The estimated fee for the concurrency permit application is $1,669 (1 - 10 Trips). This fee is an
estimate and based on the materials submitted for the pre -application 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 6 single family lots, the estimated total traffic impact fee is $23,250.
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)). At any time prior to building permit issuance,
the applicant may request to defer to final building inspection the payment of a transportation impact fee
for a single-family residential dwelling unit (FWRC 19.100.075). If this option is selected, a covenants
prepared by the city to enforce payment of the deferred fees will be recorded at the applicant's expense.
Refer to defer payment of impact fee code for process.
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-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 would be expected to construct improvements on the following streets
to the City's planned roadway cross -sections:
a. SW 365`h Street shall be constructed to a Type "X" street, consisted of a 20-foot street with 8-foot
ditch, 5-foot sidewalks, 3-foot utility strips, and street lights in a 52-foot right-of-way. SW 3650'
Street shall be extended from 6`' Ave SW to 3>d PI SW in order to meet block perimeter standards.
Right-of-way width may be tapered down to 37 feet wide to accommodate 3/4 street improvements
(no ditch, sidewalk, or utility strip on the south side). Taper requires Public Works approval.
b. The internal street shall be a public street conforming to a Type "X" local street, consisting of a
20-foot street with 8-foot ditch, 5-foot sidewalks, 3-foot utility strips and street lights in a 52-foot
right-of-way (ROW). The applicant may request a right-of-way modification to construct the
internal road to a Type "W" if additional parking or planter strip is preferred. This cross-section
consists of a 28-foot street with 4-foot planter strips, 5-foot sidewalks, and 3-foot utility strips
within a 52-foot right-of-way.
c. Two private road sections, as shown on the proposed site plan, are not recommended.
2. No street or combination of streets shall function as a cul-de-sac longer than 600 feet (FWRC
18.55.010).

required street improvements (FWRC 19.135.070). Information about right-of-way modification
requests is available through the Public Works Development Services Division. These modification
requests have a nominal review fee currently at $278.00.
5. 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)
Submit an intersection sight distance analysis for the design vehicle used at the plat access
driveway/intersection with internal street and SW 365 h Street. The analysis shall be conducted in
accordance to 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.
2. Please provide photo documentation within the appendix of the sight distance analysis. A minimum
of one photo looking to the left and one looking to the right will show the location of the viewer in
accordance to AASHTO guidelines. The Site Plan with plan and profile sheets should also be
incorporated into the report to provide the site distance documentation. Indicate if there are any street
trees, landscaping requirements, or any other objects existing or proposed to be within the sight
distance triangle. State if the sight distance requirements are met or not and provide any traffic safety
mitigation measures.
Design Criteria (FWRC 18.55)
All lots shall be accessed by a public street right-of-way (FWRC 18.55.020). In certain cases, lots may be
accessed by an ingress/egress and utilities easement or alley subject to the requirements established in the
city of Federal Way public works development standards.
Misc. Safety related Comments
Driveways serving a single family dwelling unit abutting two streets should be at least 25 feet from the
beginning of the street radius.
