preapplication conference. Each section should be read thoroughly. If you have questions, please contact
the representative listed for that section.
PLANNING DIVISION (Matthew Herrera, 253-835-2638, matt.herrera@cityoffederalway.com)
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Designation — The city's comprehensive plan designation for the
subject property is Single -Family Residential — High Density. The property is currently zoned
Residential Single -Family (RS) 9.6. The minimum lot area for residential lots in RS 9.6 zones is
9,600 square feet.
2. Procedurallnformation — Short subdivision review is administrative. The department will issue a
complete application letter and/or request for additional information within 28 days of receiving the
short subdivision application. Vesting of the proposed short subdivision shall take place at the time
of complete application. A notice of application with an accompanied two -week comment period is
required prior to a preliminary decision to approve or decision to deny. The decision is made by the
city's Director of Community and Economic Development. A two -week appeal period follows the
director's decision. Prior to construction of short plat improvements, engineering approval must be
granted by the Public Works Department. Please see Kevin Peterson's comments for specific
information regarding engineering requirements.

3. Short Plat Content Requirements — For an itemized list of required information to be included in the
short plat, please refer to the enclosed bulletin 010, "Short Subdivision." The city's subdivision code
(FWRC Title 18) and zoning and development code (FWRC Title 19) can be accessed from
www.codel2tiblisliin-g.com/WA/Federal WaY.
4. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) — Short plat applications are exempt from the requirements
of SEPA review.
5. Public Notice — The city will prepare and post a notice board on the subject property. Copies of the
Notice of Application will also be posted at the city's designated public notice areas and published in
the Federal Way Mirror.
6. Critical Areas —A significant portion of the site qualifies as a Geologically Hazardous Area.
Additionally, a stream is located in the northeastern corner of the property. Each of these
environmentally critical areas and their buffers reduce the outright building envelope of the lot. It
can be reasonably assumed that when this property was originally subdivided in 1969 it was to
accommodate one house, as the steep topography limited the buildable area.
A further subdivision of this lot would impact the slope and stream buffer area. It would also require
the need for additional critical area permits for the newly created lot. The city's policy is to approve
further subdivisions of land resulting in "turn -key" lots, which require no other permits except for a
standard single-family building permit.
The city would support one single family home on the lot if it does not compromise the safety of the
surrounding property owners, city property, and the future homeowner. The design of the
improvements will need the consultation and seal of a qualified professional geotechnical engineer.
Third party review by the city's geotechnical engineer will also be required. If improvements are
proposed within the stream setback, an additional Use Process IV application will be required. Be
advised a stream delineation, prepared by a qualified professional, will be required with the building
permit submittal package.
Several city policies and purpose regulations provide a basis for not supporting the proposed
subdivision within the Geologically Hazardous Areas and stream setback. The following does not
constitute a complete list:
• Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FYVCP) Natural Environment Policy (NEP) 32 —
The City may regulate private development and public actions to protect water
quality and to ensure adequate in -stream flow to protect fisheries, wildlife habitat,
and recreation resources.
• FWCP NEP36 — The City should continue to restrict stream relocation projects, the
placing of streams in culverts, and the crossing of streams for both public and private
projects. Where applicable in stream corridors, the City should consider structures
that are designed to promote fish migration and the propagation of wildlife habitat.
• FWCP NEP55 — As slope increases, development intensity, site coverage, and
vegetation removal should decrease and thereby minimize drainage problems, soil
Doe ID 64621

December 30, 2013
erosion, siltation, and landslides. Slopes of 40 percent or more should be retained in a
natural state, free of structures and other land surface modifications.
FWCP NEP63 — TIZe City should manage aquatic and riparian (stream side) habitat in
a way that minimizes its alteration in order to preserve and enhance its ability to
sustain fish and wildlife.
■ FWRC 19.145.010 — The purpose of this division (critical areas code) is to protect the
environment, human life and property from harm and degradation. This is to be
achieved by precluding or limiting development in areas where development
poses serious or special hazards; by preserving and protecting the quality of
drinking water; and by preserving important ecological areas such as steep slopes,
streams, lakes and wetlands (emphasis added).
7. Lot Size —Minimum lot size for each lot is 9,600 square feet. Please be advised that any area
established as an ingress/egress easement, pipestem, or access tract for each property must be
deducted from the underlying parcel lot size. Please include this "net" lot area on the lot closure
calculations and short plat document.
Design Criteria — Short plats are subject to the subdivision design criteria set forth in FWRC
Chapter 18.55.
9. Setbacks and Lot Coverage — Existing and future residences must conform to the following
structural setback requirements of FWRC 19.200.010, "Detached Dwelling Units" (enclosed): fi-ont
yard — 20 feet; side yard — 5 feet; and rear yard — 5 feet. Lot coverage for residential uses is limited
to 60 percent and includes all impervious surfaces such as driveways, walkways, patios, and roof
overhangs. Depict these typical building setback requirements and the proposed lot coverage on the
proposed short plat.
10. Open Space — 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, after consideration of the city's overall park plan, quality, location, and service area of the
open space that would otherwise be provided with the project. If the fee -in -lieu option is chosen, a
written request to Public Works and Parks Director Cary Roe is required. A copy of this request is a
required component of the short plat application.
11. Tree Retention/Replacement — The city's tree standards require each development/redevelopment to
maintain a tree unit density. Tile minimum tree density requirements for RS zones are 25 tree units
per acre. A tree retention plan prepared by a certified arborist or a certified landscape architect
detailing how the subject property will meet tree unit density requirements shall be submitted with
the short subdivision application. Items required to be included in the plan are itemized in FWRC
19.120.040(2)(a) through (e). The table below identifies tree unit values for retained and
replacement trees.

2. A Level I downstream analysis shall be provided in the preliminary TIR. There is a known
downstream erosion problem. The developer will be required to provide flow control measures that
do not aggravate or contribute to this problem.
The project lies within a Conservation Flow Control Area; thus, the applicant must design the flow
control facility to meet or exceed these performance criteria. The project also lies within an
Enhanced Basic Water Quality Area. Water quality treatment shall be designed to meet the treatment
criteria of this Water Quality Menu.
4. Storm Water Best Management Practices (BMP's) are encouraged to the extent feasible, but are not
required, for short subdivisions.
5. Soil infiltration tests prepared by a licensed geotechnical engineer or septic designer must be
provided to verify infiltration suitability.
6. Detention and water quality treatment facilities are required to be above ground (i.e. an open pond).
Underground facilities are allowed only with approval from the City of Federal Way Stormwater
Management Division.
7_ Show the proposed location and dimensions of the detention and water quality facilities on the
preliminary plans.
8. If more than one acre will be disturbed during construction, a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit may be required. Information regarding this permit can be
obtained from the Washington State Department of Ecology at 360-407-6437, or
%vww.egy.wa.gov/12rograiiis/sea/pac/iiidex.littiil.
If work is to be done below the ordinary high water mark, a Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA)
permit may be required. Information regarding this permit can be obtained from the Washington

may not be located closer than 25 feet to any street intersection. Lots and intersections within new
subdivisions or short plats must be designed to meet this standard.
If Lot 2 is intended to access off of the roadway to the north, that roadway will need further review
to determine the extent of road widening, paving, drainage, etc. that will be required.
Engineering Permit Issues
Engineered plans are required for clearing, grading, road construction, and utility work. Plans must
be reviewed and approved by the city. Engineering review fees. are $549.50 for the first 12 hours of
review and $68.50 per hour for additional review time. A final TIR shall be prepared for the project
and submitted with the engineering plans. Both the TIR and the plans will require the signature/seal
of a professional engineer registered/licensed in the State of Washington.
2. In addition to engineering approval, short plats and subdivisions are required to obtain a separate
permit for grading. Details and fees may be obtained from the Federal Way Building Division.
The Federal Way Development Standards Manual (including standard detail drawings, standard
notes, and engineering checklists) is available on the city's website at www.cityoffederalway.com, to
assist the applicant's engineer in preparing the plans and TIR.
4. The applicant shall provide a geotechnical report that addresses design pavement thickness for the
roadways and any proposed infiltration.
Bonding is required for all street improvements and temporary erosion and sediment control
measures associated with the project. The bond amount shall be 120 percent of the estimated costs of
the improvements. An administrative fee deposit will need to accompany the bond to cover any
possible legal fees in the event the bond must be called. Upon completion of the installation of the
improvements, and final approval of the Public Works Inspector, the bond will be reduced to 30
percent of the original amount and held for a two-year maintenance period.
The developer will be responsible for the maintenance of all storm drainage facilities (including the
detention and water quality facilities) and street systems during the two-year maintenance period.
During that time, the Public Works Inspector will make periodic visits to the site to ensure the
developer's compliance with the maintenance requirements. Upon satisfactory completion of the
two-year maintenance period, the remainder of the bond will be released. Maintenance for public
roads and subdivision drainage facilities then become the responsibility of the city. Maintenance for
private roads and drainage facilities, including short plats, remain the responsibility of the individual
property owners.
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.
Drawings submitted for plan review shall be printed on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" paper. All final
approved drawings shall be drafted/plotted on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" mylar sheet with permanent
black ink. Site plans shall be drawn at a scale of 1" = 20', or larger. Architectural scales are not
permitted on engineering plans.

PW TRAFFIC DIVISION (Erik Preston, PE, 253-835-2744, erik.pi-estop(a)cityof€ederalway.comi
Transportation Concurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90)
1. Based on the submitted materials for two single-family lots, the Institute of Transportation Engineers
(ITE) Trip Generation - 811' Edition, land use code 210 (Single -Family Detached Residential); the
proposed project is estimated to generate approximately two new weekday PM peak hour trips.
2. A concurrency permit is required for this development project. The PW Traffic Division will perform
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).
The estimated fee for the concurrency permit application is $344.50 (1 — 10 trips). This fee is an
estimate and based on the materials submitted for the preapplication meeting. The concurrency
applicant 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. Residential Land Divisions — Based on the submitted materials for one additional single family lot,
the estimate traffic impact fee is $3,205.30. The actual fee will be calculated and paid at the time of
plat recording. The applicant may defer part or all of the impact fee payment amount to either
building permit issuance, or to later than closing of the sale of the single family home. If this option is
selected, a covenants prepared by the city to enforce payment of the deferred fees wi I I be recorded at
the applicant's expense on each lot at the time of plat recording for residential land divisions.
Street Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135)
1. The applicant/owner would be expected to construct street improvements consistent with the planned
roadway cross -sections as shown in Map III-6 of the FWCP and Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
shown as Table 111-19 (FWRC 19.135.040). Based on the materials submitted, staff conducted a
limited analysis to determine the required street improvements.

roadway cross-section Type W, which includes a four -foot planter strip, five-foot sidewalk, and three-
foot utility strip behind the curb.
3. The applicant may make a written request to the Public Works Director to modify the required street
improvements (FWRC 19.135.070), which the city would support. Information about a right-of-way
modification requests are available through the Public Works Development Services Division. These
modification requests have a nominal review fee currently at $91.50.
Access Management (FWRC 19.135)
1. Access management standards are based on roadway safety and capacity requirements. FWRC
19.135.280 provides access standards for streets based on planned roadway cross -sections. Please
note that access classifications are per Drawing 3-IA in the Public Works Development Standards.
2. A vehicular access easement or tract will be required for access to Lot 2 with a minimum 20-foot
wide paved roadway to serve emergency vehicles (FWRC 19.135.100).
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.
