3. PUBLIC COMMENT
None
4. BUSINESS ITEMS
A. Belmor Park Safety Improvements
Rick Perez presented the background information on the project.
Councilman Faison asked if bicycle lanes could be added. Mr. Perez said they could not be added now. Mr.
Perez discussed reducing lane size to create bike lanes; Federal Way's road standard width is 11 feet.
Councilwoman Burbidge asked why there are pedestrian flashers on 21 st Ave SW near Saghalie Junior High?
Mr. Perez said that in the past, there was a fatality accident on 21 st and when that flasher was put in it was
decided to put in a flasher on S. 336th street, near Saghalie, also. They were converted to push-button flashers
from 24-hour flashers.
Chair Dovey asked if the City starts with option 1, could they build [expand] on it later? Mr. Perez said that,
yes, they can add to it later.
Councilwoman Kochmar asked if the residents of Belmor Park knew that the city is working on this safety issue?
Mr. Perez responded 'Yes, we have been working with them' and added that he called them this morning. Ms.
Kochmar urged a wait in action to discuss the impacts with Belmor Park residents and that, in any case, they be
notified before action is taken.
Chair Dovey stated he wanted to move forward with the issue, the full Council can discuss it and invite the
residents of Belmor Park to attend that meeting. Other topics mentioned were vegetated pedestrian islands
(difficult to irrigate) and a way to 'beautify' them.
Responding to a question from Chair Dovey, Mr. Perez stated that the nearest crosswalks in either direction are
1) A crosswalk at 1 ih that has a street light and pedestrian refuge and
2) A crosswalk at 23'd that has a full traffic signal.

6/20/2005
Chair Dovey noted that the crosswalk near the entrance to Belmor Park is between two larger crosswalks and to
'over mark' all crosswalks will negate the purpose ofthe street work done to reduce automobile congestion.
Councilman Faison moved to approve Option 1 *, creation of a Pedestrian RefUge Island. Park seconded.
PASSED unanimously,
* Councilman Faison added the request that Mr. Perez notifY the residents of BeZmor Park about the planned
changes for 32ih
B. 2006-2011 Transportation Improvement Project
Chair Dovey turned over the meeting to Councilman Park and recused himself from this agenda item, as he is a
tenant in properties impacted by a project on the TIP. He left the LUTe meeting at this point.
Rick Perez provided background information. Staff recommends Option 1, reducing the scope of some projects
and consolidating others.
Councilman Faison asked if the City is establishing a policy to look into using roundabouts first - is this a
Council issue or a Public Works policy issue? Mr. Perez responded that the City does consider roundabouts,
and looks at cost effectiveness. Right of Way (ROW) for a roundabout is expensive and another additional cost
is landscaping. However, the cost for a signal is higher ($3500 per year) and there are more accidents at a
signal. Mr. Perez advised that a policy is not needed and staff recommendations are adequate. In response to
Councilman Faison's questions on signalized roundabouts, Mr. Perez responded that non-signalized ones are
better at moving traffic, 1 or 2 entry points at most should be signalized, to control one or two access points that
take all available space in the circle.
Councilman Faison also brought up issues of aesthetics and ease of pedestrian crossing. He mentioned wanting
to discuss removing projects #6, 11, & 21 from the TIP. He later suggested these projects take a lower priority
and be reviewed in the future. Mr. Perez stated that the City is due to update their comprehensive plan; any
change to the plan will require a thorough re-working of the TIP.
Councilman Faison wants bundled items separated out so critical items can be identified. Which ones are
failing now? Which will fail in three years? Which will fail in six years? Mr. Perez says he can have maps
available at the next meeting.
Councilman Park sug~ested that this can be discussed at the City Council meeting July 19th. He also asked
about projects on 312 & 356th. Mr. Perez stated that the City is compelled by budget to complete projects
using a 'worst first' approach, using funding, as it is available.
Councilman Faison asked why there were no identified projects in the newly annexed areas. Mr, Perez stated
that, because these areas were not within the city, city staff did not have access to data on them. There is a
project underway funded by the State.
Councilman Faison asked about funding for sidewalks. Mr. Perez responded that there is some available in the
school improvements funding, but that it is difficult to suggest pricing for sidewalks as it is so dependant on the
drainage needs. Cary Roe added that there is some funding for sidewalks, mostly for repair and meeting federal
standards, in the Pavement Overlay project.
Moved by Faison. Seconded by Park. Recommendation to fwd Option 1, PASSED unanimously [without Dovey].
6. FUTURE MEETINGS
The next scheduled meeting will be July 18,2005.

I. SUMMARY OF APPLlCA liON
The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval to allow subdivision of a vacant
15.93 acre site into twenty-eight (28) residential single family lots in a cluster subdivision,
with public streets, sewer and water services.
II. PROCEDURAL INFORMA liON
Hearing Date:
Decision Date:
June 21,2005
July 1, 2005
At the hearing the following presented testimony and evidence:
1. Lori Michaelson, Senior Planner, City of Federal Way
2. De-En Lang, Lang Associates, 10658 Riviera Place NE, Seattle, WA 98125
At the hearing the following exhibits were admitted as part of the official record of these
proceedings:
1 . Staff Report with all attachments
2. Power Point Presentation (Hard Copy)
3. Letter from John and Luann Davis dated June 17, 2005
4. Letter from David L Hartman dated June 21, 2005
III. FINDINGS
1. The Hearing Examiner has heard testimony, admitted documentary evidence into
the record, viewed the site and taken this matter under advisement.
Page - 3
2. The Community Development Staff Report sets forth general findings, applicable
policies and provisions in this matter and is hereby marked as Exhibit "1" with
attachments and hereby incorporated in its entirety by this reference.
3. All appropriate notices were delivered in accordance with the requirements of the
Federal Way City Code (FWCC).
4. The applicant has a possessory ownership interest in a rectangular, unimproved,
15.93 acre parcel of property abutting the west side of the unopened 9th Avenue
SW between SW 364th Place and SW 368th Street within the City of Federal Way.
The applicant requests preliminary plat approval to allow subdivision of the site
into 28 single family residential lots using the cluster subdivision method.
5. The site plan shows all lots clustered in the eastern half of the site. The western
half consists of wetlands and buffers which the applicant will dedicate to the City
as a separate Tract (A). Tract A supports a one Category III wetland and one
Category II wetland, both of which are associated with a stream flowing through
the site from north to south. Tract A measures 8.59 acres which is more than
50% of the site.
6. The preliminary plat map shows access provided to all lots via an internal plat
road extending west from 9th Avenue SW and then curving to the north where it
terminates in a cul-de-sac. All lots will access onto the internal plat road with the
exception of four lots in the northwest corner of the developed portion of the site
which will access via a private road extending northwest from the cul-de-sac. An
improved, 32,471 foot, open space tract is located in the northeast corner
adjacent to 9th Avenue SW. Improvements on said tract include a trail connecting
the internal plat road with 9th Avenue SW, grass play area, playground
equipment, and benches. A 33,512 square foot stormwater detention tract is
located at the southeast corner of the site adjacent to 9th Avenue SW.
7. The King County Soil Survey Map identifies soils on the site as Alderwood
gravelly sandy loam which have only a slight erosion hazard and are capable of
supporting urban development. The site has rolling topography with slopes of
less than 10% and no geologically hazardous areas. Surface elevations range
from 382 to 406 feet. Vegetation in the upland areas proposed for development
includes both evergreen and deciduous trees and an understory of shrubs. The
wetland area consists of both deciduous and evergreen trees and an understory.
The City has approved the applicant's site clearing plan which shows no clearing
in critical areas.
Page - 4
8. The site contains 90 significant trees, defined by the Federal Way City Code
(FWCC) as 12 inches in diameter or 37 inches in circumference measured 4.5
feet above ground. The applicant will remove 11 such trees and preserve the
remaining 79 which includes all such trees within the Tract A open space area.
Conditions of approval require the storm drainage design and construction plans
to ensure wetland and stream protection to include wetland hydrology, flow
control, and water quality. According to the applicant's wildlife study report, the
site does not support any endangered, threatened, or sensitive species, plant or
animal. The most critical habitat, the wetland and stream, will remain in
undisturbed open space.
9. The site is located within the Single Family High Density designation of the City
of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan and the Residential Single Family (RS9.6)
zone classification of the FWCC. Parcels abutting the north and west property
lines are also within the RS9.6 classification and parcels to the east and south
within the RS15 classification. Abutting uses include the subdivision of
Silverwood along the north property line. Silverwood was previously approved
and recorded as a clustered subdivision with a minimum lot size of 5,000 square
feet and average lot size of 5,500 square feet. 9th Avenue S. abuts the east
property line and medium density residential parcels lie to the east of said road.
10. FWCC 20-153 does not allow the total number of lots in a cluster subdivision to
exceed the number that the applicable zone classification would permit in a
conventional subdivision. Based upon the lot sizes allowed in the RS-9.6 zone,
the applicant could create 47 conventional lots on the parcel. Therefore, the
proposed 28 lots is well within the density provisions of the code.
11. The applicant proposes lot sizes between 5,056 and 10,186 square feet with an
average lot size of 6,368 square feet. Such sizes meet the criteria of FWCC 20-
154 which requires that lots created in a cluster subdivision equal one-half the
size of the underlying zone classification, but in no case smaller than 5,000
square feet. As previously found, all of the applicant's lots exceed 5,000 square
feet and half the size of the minimum 9,600 square foot lot size authorized in the
RS-9.6 zone. FWCC 20.154(a)(3) requires clustered lots adjacent to an
established single family neighborhood to equal the neighboring lot size or the
underlying zoning minimum lot size minus 10%, whichever is smaller. The plat
proposes a minimum size of 6,199 square feet for lots abutting the Silverwood
cluster plat along the north property line has an average lot size of 5,500 square
feet. Lots do not abut any other property lines.
Page - 5
12. The cluster plat meets the criteria set forth in FWCC 20-154(7)(c) and FWCC 20-
1640 by providing a single family cluster plat compatible with surrounding areas
and which provides extensive on-site open space. The City will review future
building permits to ensure architectural design, especially garage facades and
front entries. The applicant has submitted two prototype house elevations and
site plans which meet the intent of the FWCC. FWCC 20-1640 intends each
dwelling unit for owner occupancy and the plat complies with said section by
focusing solely on development of single family residential structures as opposed
to duplexes, townhomes, or zero lot line development. The covenants will also
help promote and enhance home ownership.
13. The preliminary plat map shows that the two open space tracts combined will
measure 9.34 acres or 59% of the gross land area of the parcel. The Tract E
open space located in the northeast corner measures 32,471 square feet and
will contain various recreational improvements as set forth above. The Parks
Director has elected to calculate the required usable open space on the net
developable area as opposed to the gross land area. The proposed open space
exceeds the minimum of 10% of usable open space by approximately 500
square feet. In making its determination the Director properly considered the
easy access from both the public street and the subdivision and the significant
active and passive recreational facilities within one mile of the site to include the
BPA regional trail, Hylebos State Park, Armstrong Park, and the 363rd Street
open space park.
14. Both the Public Works Director and Fire Department have reviewed and
accepted the proposed street layout and improvement plans. Said plans include
the construction of 9th Avenue SW to public standards from its current northern
terminus at the north property line to SW 368th Street. Such will require
construction of a new road from the north property line to the south property line.
Between the south property line and SW 368th Street 9th Avenue SW currently
exists as a private road. In accordance with previous conditions of development
along said road, at such time as the City desires to make said road public, lot
owners must pay for upgrading the road. However, the applicant has agreed to
upgrade said private road to public standards at its own expense.
15. The applicant will construct internal streets within the plat to a section "U" full
street standard within a 56 foot wide right-of-way. Improvements include 32 feet
of paved roadway, vertical curb and gutter, four foot planter strip with street
trees, five foot sidewalk, and three foot utility strip with street lights. The private
Page - 6
access to four lots in the northwest corner will consist of a 38 foot wide, private
tract. Improvements will include 24 feet of paved roadway, vertical curb and
gutter, five foot sidewalk, and two foot utility strip.
16. The northerly portion of 9th Avenue SW which extends along the plat's eastern
property line from north to south will be improved to three quarter street
improvements within a 60 foot wide right-of-way. The applicant will dedicate all
necessary property to increase the right-of-way width to 60 feet. Improvements
therein will include 36 feet of paved roadway, vertical curb and gutter, four foot
wide planting strip with street trees, five foot wide sidewalk, and three foot utility
strip with street lights on the west side. On the east side a four foot gravel
shoulder will abut the pavement.
17. The southerly or off-site portion of 9th Avenue SW which extends from the south
boundary of the plat to SW 368th Street will consist of a 24 foot wide paved
roadway with four foot wide gravel shoulders on each side, water quality
improvements, and related culvert improvements.
18. A mitigating measure in the MONS required the applicant to host a neighborhood
traffic safety meeting with area residents. Such meeting occurred on March 16,
2005, and based upon residents' request and the City's concurrence, the
applicant will install three speed humps and associated warning signs on 9th
Avenue SW. A northern hump will be installed north of the internal plat road
intersection and a south hump south of the internal plat road intersection. A third
hump will be installed near the mid-point of the private road section. While
residents expressed significant concerns regarding increased traffic not only on
9th Avenue SW, but on surrounding roads to include SW 368th, the applicant's
traffic engineer and the City's traffic engineer determined that the additional
traffic will require no further analysis. The applicant's traffic engineer did conduct
an assessment and set forth the conclusions in a letter to the City dated April 11,
2005. The conclusions confirmed that increased trips on 368th St. would be
limited to vehicles going to and from IlIahee Middle School. As additional traffic
mitigation the applicant will dedicate 30 foot wide strips of property along the
west, southwest, and south property lines for future road improvements.
19. Required street improvements to the private portion of 9th Avenue SW will require
additional paving and related improvements to include gravel shoulders, water
quality measures, and modification of an existing 12 inch diameter, concrete
culvert conveying the stream under the road. The right-of-way improvements will
necessitate intrusions into the stream buffer which the Director of Community
Page - 7
Development has approved. The Director has properly reviewed and approved
the request as no alternative location exists since the street has long been
constructed at its present location, and the intrusions must occur in order to
accommodate necessary improvements. A portion of the improvements will
ensure surface water quality and will treat street runoff prior to discharge to
roadside ditches. To accommodate street improvements the applicant will
remove approximately 25 feet of the west end of the existing culvert and add
approximately 30 feet to the east end.
20. The applicant has also requested permission to add a new 12 inch concrete
culvert alongside and parallel to the modified culvert to address a concern about
water ponding due to clogging of the culvert by vegetation. The City has not as
yet approved the second culvert and will make a final appealable decision at the
time of final engineering plans.
21. The applicant will comply with the City School Impact Fee Ordinance and make a
per lot payment to offset the impacts on the Federal Way School District of
school aged children residing in the plat. The district estimates 18 to 19 school
aged children will reside in the plat. Children will attend school at Enterprise
Elementary, IlIahee Middle School, and Todd Beamer High School. Buses will
transport elementary and high school students, but middle school students will
walk to school. The school access analysis indicates safe walking conditions to
the school by two different routes.
22. The Lakehaven Utility District will provide both domestic water and fire flow to the
site and will also serve each lot with sanitary sewers.
23. The stormwater drainage system must meet the requirements of the 1998 King
County Surfacewater Design Manual and the City's amendments thereto. The
project must provide level 1 flow control and basic water standards. The
conceptual drainage plan accepted by the Public Works Department proposes to
preserve the existing north/south drainage pattern across the site. Approximately
two-thirds of the site presently drains directly to the on-site wetlands by sheet
flow, and the eastern portion of the site drains to the south and combines with
the outflow from the wetlands. The conceptual plan proposes to direct surface
water runoff from lots 12 through 22 and from the joint driveway serving lots 21
and 22 directly to the wetland to help maintain hydrology. Runoff from the
remaining area will be collected and directed through a buried piping system to a
wet pond/detention facility in Tract B. The pond will discharge at the present
natural location into the wetland buffer near the south property line. Storm
Page - 8
drainage runoff from 9th Avenue SW will receive water quality treatment prior to
discharge. The landscape plan shows screening for the detention pond from 9th
Avenue SW and protection by dark, vinyl coated, chain link.
24. Prior to obtaining preliminary plat approval the applicant must establish that the
request satisfies the criteria set forth in Section 20-126(c) FWCC, Findings on
each criteria are hereby made as follows:
A. As previously found, the project is consistent with the Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan which designates the site and surrounding area as
Single Family High Density.
8. The project is consistent with applicable provisions of the FWCC to
include those adopted by reference from the comprehensive plan.
Development of the preliminary plat must comply with the provisions of
FWCC Chapter 18, Environmental Policy; Chapter 20, Subdivision;
Chapter 22, Zoning; and all other applicable codes and regulations.
Conditions of approval as recommended hereinafter will ensure
compliance with all provisions of the FWCC.

CITY COUNCIL REVIEW, ACTION
Pursuant to Section 20-127, following receipt of the final report and recommendation of the
hearing examiner, a date shall be set for a public meeting before the city council.
The city council review of the preliminary plat application shall be limited to the record of the
hearing before the hearing examiner, oral comments received during the public meeting (so
long as those comments do not raise new issues or information not contained in the examiner's
record) and the hearing examiner's written report. These materials shall be reviewed for
compliance with decisional criteria set forth in section 20-126. The city council may receive
new evidence or information not contained in the record of hearing before the hearing
examiner, but only if that evidence or information: (i) relates to the validity of the hearing
examiner's decision at the time it was made and the party offering the new evidence did not
know and was under no duty to discover or could not reasonably have discovered the evidence
until after the hearing examiner's decision; or (ii) the hearing examiner improperly excluded or
omitted the evidence from the record. If the city council concludes, based on a challenge to the
hearing examiner recommendation or its own review of the recommendation, that the record
compiled by the hearing examiner is incomplete or not adequate to allow the city council to
make a decision on the application, the city council may by motion remand the matter to the
hearing examiner with the direction to reopen the hearing and provide supplementary findings
and/or conclusions on the matter or matters specified in the motion.
After considering the recommendation of the hearing examiner, the city council may adopt or
reject the hearing examiner's recommendations based on the record established at the public
hearing, If, after considering the matter at a public meeting, the city council deems a change in
the hearing examiner's recommendation approving or disapproving the preliminary plat is
necessary, the city council shall adopt its own recommendations and approve or disapprove the
preliminary plat.
As part of the final review, the city council may require or approve a minor modification to the
preliminary plat if:
(a) The change will not have the effect of increasing the residential density of the plat;
(b) The change will not result in the relocation of any access point to an exterior street from
the plat;
(c) The change will not result in any loss of open space or buffering provided in the plat;
and
(d) The city determines that the change will not increase any adverse impacts or
undesirable effects of the project and that the change does not significantly alter the
project.

comment and/or appeal the project. The comment letters and the City's responses are attached
(Exhibit J). The comments raised in these letters have been addressed in the City's SEPA
determination and in the preliminary plat application as described and recommended in this report.
As noted below, the environmental determination was finaled with no appeals filed.
C. In accordance with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A) and FWCC Chapter 18~
"Environmental Protection," all property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the site, and all
affected agencies, wete notified of the proposed action and the City's environmental decision. In
addition, the site was posted and notice placed in the newspaper and on the City's official notice
boards. The City received no written comments or appeals of the environmental determination.
D. Also, as described in Section VII.C., below, neighbors along 9th Avenue SW were notified, and a
neighborhood traffic safety (NTS) meeting was held on March 16,2005, to identify appropriate
traffic calming measures to be installed along 9th Avenue SW with plat construction.
III. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT
The City issued a Mitigated Environmental Determination of Nonsignificance (MONS) for the proposal
on January 29,2005 (Exhibit K). 'This determination was based on review of infonnation in the project
file, including the environmental checklist and staff evaluation of the environmental checklist, resulting in
the conclusion that the proposal would not result in probable significant adverse impacts on the
environment provided the project complies with the MDNS mitigation measures. The MDNS established
two mitigation measures for the project, related to transportation, and described under Section VII, below.
IV. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
A. Soils - The 1973 King County soils survey map lists the soils type as Alderwood Gravelly Sandy
Loam (AgB), Type B. The Alderwood series is made up of relatively well-drained soils that are
relatively shallow in depth and experience a perched water table in the winter. AgB soils are
described as capable for urban development, runoffis slow, and erosion hazard slight.
B. Topography and Drainage - The site has a moderately rolling topography with ground slopes ofless
than 10 percent. The site contains no steep slopes or other geologically hazardous areas. Ground
surface elevations on the property range from approximately 382 feet to 406 feet. The predominate
drainage pattern across the site is north to south. Refer to Section IX.C, below, for a description of
stonn drainage facilities as proposed by the applicant and required by the City,
C. Vegetation - On site vegetation is described in the applicant's Environmentally Sensitive Areas
Study (Exhibit L) as including the two categories of non-wetland and wetland. Vegetation in the non-
wetland, or upland areas, includes western hemlock, Douglas fir, western red cedar, and red alder,
with an under story of salmonberry and red elderberry, sword fern, bracken fern, and dewberry.
Wetland vegetation consists of black cottonwood, red alders, western red cedar, salmonberry,
hardhac, and willows.
Approval of the preliminary plat is subject to approved conceptual clearing and landscape plans,
pursuant to FWCC ~ 20-158. The subdivision code requires that existing mature vegetation be
retained to the maximum extent possible, with site clearing limited to plat infrastructure
improvements, such as streets, drainage, utilities, usable open space, and related improvements.
Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner
Preliminary Plat of Brighton Park
Page 3
File #03-1 03 1 78-OOO-OO-5UI Doc ID 30905
Approximately 6.59 acres of the totaI15.93.acre site is proposed to be developed with the
subdivision, and approximately 9.34 acres is proposed to be set aside in permanent open space. Open
space tracts include Tract "A" (to be dedicated and dedicated to the City of Federal Way, and Tract
"E" (to be dedicated to the HomeoWners). Clearing limits as proposed by the applicant and shown on
the preliminary plat map (Exhibit A) and preliminary grading plan (Exhibit C) are consistent with
code limits, and no clearing is proposed within any critical areas. Based on the applicant's tree
retention plan (Exhibit G), the site contains 90 significant trees,4 11 of which are to be removed and
79 preserved, with infrastructure improvements. All existing trees within the Tract "A" open space
will be retained. The proposed playground improvements within the Tract "E" open space will
minimize clearing of existing trees.
Significant trees located outside of approved infrastructure areas will be addressed during individual
review of single-family building pennits, subject to the significant tree retention and replacement
standards ofFWCC ~ 22-1568, whereby the removal of more than 75 percent of the existing
significant trees requires replacement of a minimum of 25 percent of the number of existing
significant trees.
D. Wetlands, Streams - The site contains two wetlands and a stream that are defined and regulated by
the FWCC. As depicted on the preliminary plat map (Exhibit A), a "Category II" wetland ("Wetland
A") occupies the entire western half of the site. A very small portion of a "Category III" wetland
("Wetland B") is located at the northwest corner of the site. A major stream flows from Wetland B
southward through Wetland A. As it traverses the Brighton Park site, the stream is fully contained
within the wetland boundary as delineated. The stream continues to flow in a southeasterly direction
off site, through an open channel, then through existing culverts under a neighboring driveway, and
under 9th Avenue SW, generally south of the site.
The applicant's Environmentally Sensitive Areas Study was reviewed and accepted by the City as
appropriately classifying and delineating the subject wetlands and stream, and as documented in a
teclmical memorandum by the City's wetland consultant, Sheldon and Associates, Inc. (Exhibit M).
In. addition, the applicant's Wildlife Study Report (Exhibit N) documents that the stream does not
contain the presence of species or documented habitat recognized by state or federal agencies as
endangered or threatened fish or animal species. Therefore, the wetlands do not meet the FWCC
criteria for "Category I'" wetlands classification based on the presence of ESA habitat.
No permanent or temporary intrusions into the on site wetlands or their buffers are proposed, and no
significant adverse impacts to streams or wetlands requiring environmental mitigation were
identified during the City's SEP A review of the project. All on site wetlands and their buffers are
proposed to be set aside and dedicated to the City as permanent open space. Additional protective
measures are proposed by the applicant, and approved by the City, including a four-foot high split
rail cedar fencing to be installed along the wetland buffer, as shown on the landscape plan (Exhibit
F), and wetland signage (Exhibit 0) to discourage human and pet intrusions, placed at approximate
150-foot intervals as specified on the exhibit. All fencing, signage, and related improvements are
subject to the City's review and approval during engineering review.
4 "Significant trees" are defined by FWCC as 12 inches in diameter, or 37 inches in circumference, measured four and one-half
feet above ground; in good health; and not detrimental to the ronununity (e.g., is not diseased, dying, or likely offalling into
public open space or right-of-way, etc.) or obscuring safe sight distance requirements. Significant trees shall not include red
alder, cottonwood, poplar, or big leaf maple.
Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner
Preliminary Plat of Brighton Park

File #03-1 0317S-OOO-OO-SUI Doc ID 30905
As noted above, no project-related adverse environmental impacts requiring mitigation were
identified during the City's SEPA review of the project. However, based on the Sheldon technical
. memorandum (Exhibit M), and as noted in Section XII, staff recommends that the final storm
drainage design and construction plans address specific measures in order to further ensure wetland
and stream protection, as they relate to maintaining wetland hydrology, flow control, and water
quality. In addition, as addressed in Section VII.E, below, certain temporary intrusions into the
stream setback for purposes of public street improvements, and related storm drainage
improvements, were reviewed and administratively approved under applicable code requirements.
B. Wildlife and Habitat- The applicant's Wildlife Study Report (Exhibit N) was reviewed and accepted
by City staff with no significant adverse impacts identified or required for the project. The report
documents that the site does not meet the FWCC definition of "Fish and Wildlife Habitat
Conservation Area," and does not support any endangered, threatened, or sensitive species primarily
associated with the two dominant plant communities or the on site wetlands. As noted in the wildlife
report, the Washington State Department ofFish and Wildlife (WDFW) did not report any priority
wildlife species on or near the site. In addition, no comments from WDFW were submitted in
response to the City's environmental threshold detennination, The primary mitigation for habitat
impacts is through preservation of all on site wetlands, buffers, vegetation, and habitat, in Tract "A."
v. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS
A. Vicinity - The property is situated in the southern portion of the City in a single-family residential
area, and the southwest property boundary abuts Pierce County (Exhibit H). The site is presently
vacant. As noted under Section J.F., above, and the zoning map (Exhibit I), the property is
surrounded by high density zoning (RS 9.6) to the north and west, and medium density zoning (RS
15.0) to the east and south. Existing development around the site includes the subdivision of
"Silverwood" to the north. Silverwood is an approved and recorded cluster subdivision. having a
minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet, and an average lot size of about 5,500 square feet. South of
the site is medium density residential and a continuation of an on-site wetland and stream. Ninth
Avenue .South and medium density residential lie east of the site. Undeveloped properties with high
density residential zoning lie to the west of the site.
VI. GENERAL DESIGN
A. Density- Pursuant to FWCCC ~ 20-153, the total number ofIots created in a cluster subdivision
cannot exceed the number that would be permitted in a conventional subdivision on a site of the
same total area, after reserving required open space. The total number of lots permitted is calculated
by subtracting the required open space of 15 percent, and subtracting 20 percent for streets from the
gross land area, then dividing by the minimum lot size of the underlying zoning district. Based on
the calculation below, the maximum number ofIots that could be created on the subject parcel is 47
lots. The proposed 28 lots is consistent with the density provisions of the code.
Gross Land Area 693,911 sq. ft. (15.93 acres)
Minus 15% open space 104,087 sq.ft.
Minus 20% for streets 138.782 sq.ft.
451,042 sq.ft divided by 9,600 = 47 lots maximum
Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 5
PreliminarY Plat of Brighton PlII:"k File #03-1 03178..()()lH)o-SUI Doc ID 30905
B. Lot Size - The proposed Brighton Park lots range in size from 5,056 to 10,186 square feet, with an
average lot size of 6,368 square feet. Pursuant to FWCC ~ 20-154, lots created in a cluster
subdivision may be up to one-half the size of the underlying zoning requirement, but in no case
smaller than 5,000 square feet. Pursuant to FWCC ~ 20-154(a)(3), lots in the proposed cluster -
subdivision that are immediately adjacent to an established single-family neighborhood shall be no
smaller than the neighboring lot size, or the underlying zoning minimum lot size minus 10 percent,
whichever is smaller. The proposed plat complies with this standard by providing an average
minimum lot size of6,199 square feet for lots 8, 9~ 10, 11, and 12, located immediately adjacent to
the Silverwood cluster plat, which has an approved minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet, and an "as-
built" average lot size of 5,500 square feet. The proposed lots along the west and south property lines
ofthe Brighton Park plat are buffered from neighboring residential areas by wetlandS and buffer.
C. Cluster Plat Approval Criteria - The Brighton Park cluster plat is subject to the approval criteria
contained in FWCC ~ 20-1 54(7)(c) and FWCC ~ 22-1640. The plat meets the approval criteria by
providing a single-family cluster plat compatible with surrounding areas and providing extensive on-
site-open space.
Review of future single-family home permits in the Brighton Park plat are subject to minimum
architectural design standards regarding garage facades and front entry design. Two prototype
sample house elevations and site plans, that meet the intent ofFWCC ~ 22-1640, are provided for
information with the preliminary plat application (Exhibit P).
In addition, the preliminary plat as proposed, meets the intent FWCC ~ 22-1640 standards, which
intends each dwelling unit for owner occupancy. The proposed Brighton Park c1usterplat meets the
intent of this section by focusing solely on the development of single-family residential structures as
opposed to other types of development allowed .under the cluster subdivision, such as duplexes, town
homes, or zero lot line development. The applicant has also stated that the homeowner's association
covenants (required by code for fmal plat approval) will help promote and enhance home ownership.
D. Lot Layout - Most of the proposed lots are rectangular shaped with frontage on public right-of-way.
Four lots (lots 11, 12, 13, and 14), will be accessed via a private roadway tract (Tract "C"). Two lots
(lots 21 and 22) will jointly share a driveway. All building setback lines (BSBL's) are depicted on
the preliminary plat map, and each lot contains an adequate building area.
E. Open Space - To provide adequate recreational opportunities commensurate with new residential
development, FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions," requires dedication of land on site for open space,
or a fee,.in-lieu payment. In accordance with FWCC ~ 20-155(b), a cluster subdivision must provide
all required open space (15 percent) on-site, and it must all be usable, except up to five percent can
be buffer. However, as described below, the Parks Director has altered the open space category
percentages for the Brighton Park Preliminary Plat.
As shown on the preliminary plat map and landscape plan (Exhibits A and F, respectively), the plat
provides two separate open space tracts, comprising a total of 406,476 square feet (9.34 acres), or 59
percent, of the total gross land area of the site. The Tract "A"-open space contains 374,005 square
feet (or 8.59 acres) and is proposed to be dedicated to the City of Federal Way. As noted above,
Tract "A" fully contains and preserves the on site wetlands, stream, and associated buffers. The
Tract "E" open space has a total area of32,471 square feet (or .75 acres) and is proposed to be
dedicated to future homeowners as usable recreational open space. Tract "E" will contain a ''tot lot"
Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner
Preliminary Plat of Brighton Park

with play structure, picnic area, lawn/play area, and will be accessible to residents via a proposed
walking path extending from the interior of the plat through the open space and to the adjacent
public sidewalk at 9th Avenue SW.
Pursuant to the criteria at FWCC ~ 20-1 55(c)(I) through (5), the Parks Director reviewed and
approved the applicant's open space proposal. Between the two open space tracts, the total proposed
on site open space is 9.34 acres, or 59 percent of the site, This significantly exceeds the code-
required minimum of 15 percent of the gross land area, or 2.39 acres. In addition, several existing
active and passive recreational facilities are available within approximately one mile of the site.
These include the BP A Regional Trail, the Hylebos State Park, the Annstrong Park, and the 363rd
Street Open Space .Park.
The proposed dedication of 8.59 acres as City-owned park land results in a net developable area on
the site of7.34 acres, or 319,730 square feet. Based on net developable area, and as accepted by the
Parks Director, the proposed usable open space of 32,471 square feet exceeds the code-required
minimum of 10 percent (or 31,973 square feet). In addition, the tract's usability will be enhanced by
the structured playground equipment and play area and its configuration as a single piece of land,
with easy accessibility from within the plat andto an adjacent public street via a trail.
F. Subdivision Access and Roadway System - Access to the subdivision will be provided by a new
public roadway terminating in a cul-de-sac, via an extension from 9th Avenue SW. Ninth Avenue
SW will be improved and connected to adjacent streets. Section vn of this report contains a detailed
description of the proposed roadway system and right-of-way improvements.
G. Pedestrian System - Sidewalks will be provided along all street frontages as part of the required
right-of-way improvements, and as described in detail in Section vn.
H. Landscape Buffers - In accordance with FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions," landscape buffers are
specified only when the plat is adjacent to an incompatible zoning district. The proposed plat is
bordered on all sides by single-family residential zoning. Therefore, no perimeter buffers are
required. Street trees (when mature), open space vegetation, and screening of the storm drainage
. tract (as proposed and reqUired) will contribute to visual buffering. Street trees are a required right-
of-way improvement, as described below in Section vn, below. Landscape screening of the
detention pond is also provided and shown on the landscape plan (Exhibit F).
VII. TRANSPORTATION
A. SEP A-Based Transportation Mitigation - Ai> noted above, the MDNS established two
transportation-related mitigation measures. These are summarized as follows: I) prior to final plat
approval, the applicant must either construct the identified impacted Transportation Improvement
Plan (TIP) projects, or may voluntarily pay an alternative pro-rata share contribution of $89,905
toward the impacted projects; and 2) prior to the preliminary plat hearing, the applicant shall arrange
a neighborhood traffic meeting to identify appropriate traffic calming devices for 9th Avenue SW,
and such devices shall be shown on preliminary plat documents. As described in paragraph c.,
below, the required neighborhood traffic safety (NTS) meeting has taken place and the appropriate
traffic calming measures have been reflected on the preliminary plans, subject to final engineering
plans review. The remaining MDNS requirement to construct or pay a pro-rata share toward
impacted TIP projects continues to apply as a SEP A condition of project approval, and must be
addressed prior to final plat approval.

B. Access and Roadway Improvements -The Public Wodes Director has reviewed and accepted the
proposed preliminary plat layout and street improvement plans (Exhibits A, D,and E), and the
applicant's Traffic Impact Analysis and addendum (Exhibit Q). In addition, the Federal Way Fire
Department reviewed and approved preliminary street plans, including curve radii, as proposed.
As noted above, access to Brighton Park will be provided .by a new public roadway, via 9th Avenue
SW, terminating in a Qul-de-sac within the plat. Resulting from the plat improvements, 9th Avenue
SW will connect SW 364tb Place to the north of the plat, and to SW 368tb Street to the south of the
plat. As described in 4), below, existing access tracts within 9th Avenue SW will be converted to
public right-of-way.
As proposed, and as required by code and the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP), the
applicant will construct the following "local street" improvements on and off the site, and will
dedicate the corresponding public right-of-way in an amount necessary to acconunodate
improvements. As required by code, all dedications to the City must be conveyed by Statutory
Warranty Deed prior to or concurrent with final plat recording. Also, as proposed, and as required by
code, all streets will have a minimum pavement section of three inches Class B asphalt over seven
inches of crushed surfacing on all internal streets, and three inches Class B asphalt over eight inches
of crushed surfacing onSW 360th Street to support the traffic loads.
1) The internal street within the plat will be improved to a "Section U" full street standard
within a 56 foot wide right-of-way. Improvements will include 32 feet of paved
roadway, vertical curb and gutter, four-foot planter strip with street trees, five-foot
sidewalk, and three-foot utility strip, with streetlights.
2) The internal private roadway tract within the plat (Tract "C") will be improved to a
"Section Y" full street standard within a 38 foot private tract. Improvements will
include 24 feet of paved roadway, vertical curb and gutter, five-foot sidewalk, and two-
foot utility strip. As required by code, this tract will serve no more than four lots (Lots
11, 12, 13, and 14), and the tract length will not exceed 150 feet in length. As indicated
in text note #3 on the face of the plat, the lots abutting this tract for access shall have
undivided ownership of the tract and be responsible for its maintenance.
3) The northerly portion of9lb Avenue SW abutting the plat's eastern property line will be
improved to ''%'' street improvements within a 60-foot wide right-of-way.
Improvements will include a 36-foot paved roadway, with improvements along the
project's frontage to include vertical curb and gutter, four-foot planting strip with street
trees, five-foot sidewalk, and three-foot utility strip, with street lights. On the east side
of the street, a four-foot gravel shoulder will abut the pavement. The balance of the
street improvements on the east side of the street will occur with future development of
this area to achieve a "Section S" full street standard.
4) The southerly (off site) portion of9tb Avenue SW, which extends from the plat's
southerly boundary to SW 368lb Street, will be improved to the extent necess8.ry to
achieve adequate and safe access to the plat, while remaining consistent with existing
street improvements within this currently private road and minimizing impacts to the
stream which flows through an existing culvert beneath the road. Street and related
improvements will consist of a 24-foot wide paved roadway with four-foot gravel
shoulders on each side, water quality improvements, and related culvert improvements.

Existing access tracts within this section of the roadway will be converted to public
right-of-way, resulting in a 60-foot right-of-way width. Owners oflots along 9th
Avenue SW whose property is subject to existing private access tracts have been
notified of the City's intent to convert these tracts to right-of-way (Exhibit R). With
future development along 9th Avenue SW, this right-of-way will be developed to the
full planned street standard, "Section S." The culvert request is subject to
administrative approval, as discussed in paragraph E, below.
C. Neighborhood Traffic Safety (NTS) - Pursuant to the above-noted MDNS conditions of approval, in
order to address project-related impacts along 9th AvenUe SW, the applicant and City conducted a
neighborhood traffic safety (NTS) meeting with residents on March 16,2005. As a result of the
meeting, and with the City's concurrence, a total of three (3) speed humps, and associated warning
signs, will be constructed to City standards on 9th Avenue SW. The speed humps and associated
signage have also been reflected on the preliminary plat map (Exhibit A), as required by the MDNS.
Pursuant to the MDNS, these improvements are a required component of plat infrastructure and must
be constructed prior to final plat approval, in accordance with approved engineering plans.
At the NTS meeting, some of the neighbors raised separate safety concerns about adjacent streets,
particularly, site distance on South 368th Street and safe school access. The City's traffic engineer
reviewed the concerns and confirmed that the MDNS as issued for the project adequately addresses all
identified traffic impacts with no additional analysis or mitigation required. In addition, as noted under
Section vm.A, below, Federal Way Public Schools reviewed the applicant's School Access Analysis
and determined that the walking routes outlined in the analysis meet the minimum requirements for a
walking path to the school. The applicant's traffic engineer also prepared a response to the neighbors'
concerns (Exhibit S), which was reviewed and accepted by the City's traffic engineer.
D. Additional Proposed Right-ol-Way Dedication - As proposed by the applicant, and accepted by the
City, a 30-foot wide strip of property along the west, southwest, and south property lines will be
dedicated to the City to help accommodate street frontage improvements when adjacent properties
develop, consistent with the FWCC and FWCP.
E. Right-of- Way and Culvert Improvements to 9" Avenue SW - The required street improvements to 9th
Avenue SW will require additional paving and related improvements, including gravel shoulders,
water quality measures such as filter strips, and modification of an existing 12-inch diameter
concrete culvert below the roadway. These right-of-way improvements will necessitate intrusions
into the stream buffer that are subject to approval by the Director of Community Development
Services pursuant to FWCC ~ 22-1312, "Intrusions into Setbacks," (a) Essential public facilities,
public utilities and other public improvements.
As depicted on the 9th Avenue SW detail on the preliminary plat map (Exhibit A), the applicant has
requested to modifY the existing stream culvert beneath 9th Avenue SW in order to accommodate the
required street improvements. The Director has reviewed and approved this request as meeting the
applicable code criteria at FWCC ~ 22-1312(a). Specifically, no alternative location exists, and the
intrusions are the minimum necessary to accommodate the required improvements. Public street
improvements are necessary for safe and adequate access to the site; and sUrface water quality
improvements are necessary and required in accordance with the King County Suiface Water Design
Manual (KCSWDM) in order to treat the street runoff prior to discharge to roadside ditches and the
stream. The existing culvert does not align with and will not match the required 24-foot paving along
9th Avenue SW. Accommodating the street improvements requires the removal of approximately 25
feet of the west end of the existing culvert, and addition of approximately 30 feet to the east end.

Also, as depicted on the preliminary plat map (Exhibit A), the applicant has requested to add a new
12-inch concrete culvert alongside and parallel to the modified existing culvert. The reason for this
additional culvert, as described by the applicant, is to address a concern about water ponding in the
area of the culvert due to clogging of the culvert, as raised by a neighbor to the south of the site. The
City agrees that seasonal debris blockage and backup has historically occurred, due to the culvert's
location in a rural, woOded setting, and in a relative low spot. However, this may be strictly a
maintenance issue, which may be addressed by converting the street from a private to a public street,
with associated maintenance assurances. As a recommended condition of approval, the applicant's
final engineering plans must include a drainage analysis addressing the purpose for the additional
culvert, for the City's review and administrative decision at that time.
It should also be noted that modifications to the stream culvert will be subject to a Hydraulic Project
Approval (HP A) pennit from the WDFW, and the.applicant is responsible to obtain and address any
conditions of this approval.
VllI. PUBLIC SERVICES
A. Schools - As required for the City's review of preliminary plat applications, the applicant prepared a
School Access Analysis (Exhibit Q, Section Vll.B) that was reviewed by the Federal Way School
District. According to District comments (Exhibit 1'), the proposed development will generate
approximately 18 to 19 school aged children. The site is located in the service areas for Enterprise
Elementary, TIlahee Middle School, and Todd Beamer High Schoo1. Enterprise and Beamer students
would be transported by bus, as the schools are located more than a mile from the site. Current bus
stop locations are as follows: Enterprise at 6th Avenue SW and SW 367th Street; Beamer at 6th
Avenue SW and SW 363M Streets. A safe walking route to all bus stops via'sidewalks will be
available to students living within the plat. District comments also indicate that the two walking
routes to TIlahee Middle School, as outlined in the School Access Analysis, both meet the minimum
requirements for a safe walking path to the school. The District noted no additional concerns.
School service areas, and bus stop locations, are reviewed annually and may be adjusted to
accommodate enrollment growth and new development. School impact fees, as authorized by City
ordinance and collected at the time of building permit issuance, are currently $3,011.50 (plus a City
administrative fee) for a single-family housing unit. School impact fees are detennined on the basis
of the district's Capital Facilities Plan and are subject to annual update and adjustment
B. Parks & Open Space - Existingrecreational facilities that are located within approximately one mile
of the Brighton Park site iriclude the BPA Regional Trail, Hylebos State Park, "Armstrong" Park,
and the 363M Street Open Space Park. On-site parks and open space requirements are discussed in
detail in Section VI.E., above.
C. Fire Protection - As noted in Section IX, below, Lakehaven Utility District has certified that water
will be available to the site in sufficient quantity to satisfY fire flow standards for the proposed
development. The Fire Departmentrequires that a fire hydrant be located within 350 feet of each lot.
The exact number and location of hydrants will be reviewed and determined by the Fire Department
during .engineering. .

IX. UTILITIES
A. Sewage Disposal-' The applicant proposes to serve the proposed plat by a public sewer system
managed by Lakehaven Utility District. A June 12,2003, Certificate of Sewer Availability (Exhibit
U) indicates the District's capacity to serve the proposed development through a Developer
Extension Agreement (DEA) between the applicant and the District.
B. Water Supply - The applicant proposes to serve the subdivision with a public water supply and
distribution system managed by the Lakehaven Utility District. A June 12,2003, Certificate of
Water Availability (Exhibit V) indicates the District's capacity to serve the proposed development
through a DEA between the applicant and the District.
C.. Drainage Design and Facilities - Development of the site will create additional surface water runoff
from new impervious surfaces such as streets, driveways, and rooftops. Storm drainage facilities
must be designed in accordance with the 1998 KCSWDM and the City's amendments to the manual.
Pursuant to the drainage analyses prepared for the project, and the KCSWDM, the project is required
to provide Levell flow control and basic water quality standards. In conjunction with engineering
review, the applicant's final drainage plans are subject to review and approval under the KCSWDM,
and the applicable conditions of preliminary plat approval as recommended.
The applicant's conceptual drainage plan (Exhibit C), Level I Downstream Drainage Analyses, and
addenda (Exhibit W) were reviewed and accepted by the City's Public Works Department, subject to
[mal review and approval in conjunction with engineering review. The downstream analyses indicate
that the proposed storm drainage system will preserve the existing north-to-south drainage pattern
across the site. Approximately two-thirds of the site drains directly to the on site wetlands by sheet
flow. The wetlands drain to the south near the middle of the south property line. The eastern portion
of the site also drains to the south and combines with the outflow from the wetlands. The on site
developed area will be divided into two drainage sub-basins. As proposed, surface water runoff from
Lots 12 through 22, and from the joint driveway for Lots 21 and 22, will be directed toward the
wetland in order to mimic existing site conditions and help maintain wetland hydrology. Runoff
fromthe remaining developed property will be collected, and then conveyed through a buried piping
system to a wet pond/detention facility to be constructed in Tract uB." The pond will discharge at its
natural location into the wetland buffer near the south property line. Storm drainage runoff from 9th
Avenue SW will be subject to water quality treatment prior to discharge to the stream, and the
culvert beneath 9th Avenue SW will be modified to accommodate street improvements. Based on the
City's review of preliminary drainage plans (Exhibit C), and the Sheldon recommendations (Exhibit
M), specific requirements for the design and construction of storm drainage facilities are
recommended to ensure protection of the on site wetlands and stream, as noted in Section XII.
Also, as shown on preliminary plat details and the landscape plan (Exhibits B and F), the storm
drainage detention pond, Tract "B," is screened from the adjacent street and residential properties by
fencing and landscaping. Fencing is specified as dark, vinyl-coated chain link. No retaining walls or
rookeries are proposed with the plat or indicated by preliminary grading plans. As a recommended
condition of preliminary plat approval, should retaining walls be proposed with plat infrastructure or
future home construction, they shall promote residential design themes for compatibility with
surrounding residential areas, by utilizing design measures such as terracing, orientation, natural
material selection, use of vegetation, and textural treatment.

XI. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
Based on an analysis of the proposed action, environmental record, and related decisional criteria, the
Deparbnent of Community Development Services finds that:
1. The proposed action is to subdivide a vacant 15.93-acre parcel into 28 residential single-
family lots, in a cluster lot configuration. All adjacent land uses are single-family residential.
The site contains critical areas, including regulated wetlands and a stream, which also extend
off site to the north and south. No other critical areas on or adjacent to the site were
identified during environmental review of the project.
2. The preliminary plat application is subject to the FWCP, and the codes and regulations, in
effect at the time the application was deemed complete, on August 29,2003.
3. The subject property is designated Single Family High Density by the FWCP. The proposed
preliminary plat is permitted by FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions," and Chapter 22,
"Zoning. "
4. Zoning for the site is RS-9.6 (minimum lot size 9,600 square feet). Properties to the north
and west of the site are also all zoned RS 9.6. Properties to the south and east of the site are
zoned RS-15.0. The proposed residential subdivision and density is consistent with
applicable zoning and subdivision regulations applicable to a lot cluster plat.
5. An Environmental Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) was issued for this
proposed action on January 29, 2005. No appeals ofthe SEPA decision were submitted to
the City. The project as designed, and as recommended, is consistent with the previous
SEP A determination.
6. Pursuant to FWCC ~ 20-154, the lot size in a cluster subdivision may be reduced up to ~ the
minimum lot size of the underlying zoning designation, but in no case smaller than 5,000
square feet. Therefore, the minimum lot size allowed on the project is 5,000 square feet. All
proposed lots exceed the minimum size required and the average proposed lot size is 6,368
square. feet.
7. Pursuant to FWCC ~ 20-153, on this 15.93-acre parcel, the maximum number oflots
allowed is 47. The maximum number of lots allowed is calculated by subtracting 15 percent
of the gross land area for open space and subtracting 20 percent for streets, and dividing the
remaining area by the underlying zoning lot size. The 28 propos~d lots comply with
applicable density requirements.
Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner
Preliminary Plat of Brighton Park
Page 13
File #03-1 03178.ooo-oo-SUI Doc II) 30905
8. Each lot as proposed contains an adequate size and shape building envelope to contain a
future single-family residence. Building setback lines (BSBL) are identified on the
preliminary plat map.
9. The cluster plat regulations promote open space and protect natural features. The proposed
plat results in preservation of approximately 59 percent of the site (9.34 acres) in two open
space tracts. All on site regulated wetlands and their buffers are preserved within Tract "A".
10. The applicant's open space plan is consistent with applicable code, and will meet the
recreational needs of future residents. In accordance with FWCC ~ 20-1 54(5)(b), a cluster
subdivision must provide all required open space (15 percent) on site. The plat exceeds the
minimum 15 percent open space requirement by providing 59 percent ofthe gross land area
in open space. Approximately 8.59 acres of the total open space (Tract "A") will be
dedicated to the City, as proposed by the applicant, and accepted by the Parks Director, and
may be considered for future recreational opportunities. Usable open space (Tract "E") is
provided in the amount 002,471 square feet. Pursuant to FWCC ~ 20-155(c), the Parks
Director has reviewed and altered the applicant's proposed open space categories, resulting
in.a total open space which significantly exceeds the minimum 15 percent code requirement,
and usable open space which is approximately 10 percent of the net developable area of (or
.75 acres of 7.34 acres), following open space dedication to the City. In reviewing the
proposed open space plan, the Parks Director considered the size of tIle plat; the proposed
dedication of park land to the City; existing recreational opportunities in the vicinity of the
subject property; and the usability of the Tract "E" usable open space. Tract E will be owned
in common and maintained by the homeowners of the plat. Provisions for ownership, use,
and maintenance of the tracts are noted on the face of the plat. Pursuant to code, dedication
of park property and right-of-way to the City is subject to a statutory warranty deed.
11. The site .contains 90 significant trees, based on the applicant's significant tree retention plan.
Eleven of the significant trees are to be removed, and 79 preserved, with infrastructure
improvements. All significant trees and other existing vegetation within the Tract "A" open
space area of 8.59 acres are proposed to be retained and permanent preserved. Significant
trees located outside of approved infrastructure areas are addressed during individual review
of single-family building permits, subject to the significant tree retention and replacement
standards ofFWCC ~ 22-1568.
12. Clearing and grading limits as proposed by the applicant and shown on the preliminary plat
clearing and grading plans, are consistent with the requirements of the subdivision code,
whereby site grading is limited to the plat infrastructure areas such as streets, utilities, storm
drainage facilities, and usable open space areas. No clearing or grading is proposed within
the on site wetlands, wetland buffers, or stream.
13. City staff, and the City's wetland consultant, reviewed and accepted the applicant's wetland
and stream classifications and delineations. The site contains a Class I wetland, a Class II
wetland, and a major stream. As proposed, all wetlands and associated buffers, and existing
vegetation and habitat contained therein, will be Wldisturbed and permanently preserved. As
proposed, the project will also install wetland buffer fencing and signage to discourage
human and pet intrusions. Final engineering plans addressing the recommended conditions
of approval will further ensure wetland and stream protection.

File #03-103 1 78-OOO-OO-SUI Doc ID 30905
14. Intrusions into the stream setback are proposed and required along 9th Avenue SW, for the
purpose of accommodating required right-of-way improvements at this location, including
street widening, water quality improvements, and stream culvert modifications. The
applicant's request to modify the existing 12-inch concrete culvert beneath 19th Avenue SW
was reviewed by the Director of Community Development Services as meeting the
applicable code criteria, FWCC ~ 22-1312(a), Essential public facilities, public utilities, and
other public improvements. As a recommended condition of approval, the applicant's
request for a second 12-inch culvert will be further analyzed during engineering plans
review, and an administrative determination based on that analysis will be made at that time.
15. Development of the site will create additional runoff from new impervious surfaces such as
streets, driveways, and rooftops. The applicant's conceptual drainage plan, and Level I
Downstream Drainage Analyses and addenda (Exhibits C and W, respectively), were
reviewed and accepted by the City's Public Works Department as adequate to serve the
proposed development. Storm drainage detention and water quality treatment facilities for
the project will be designed in accordance with the 1998 KCSWDM, as adopted by the City,
and the City's amendments to the manual. Final review and approval of the storm drainage
facilities will occur during engineering review and is subject to all applicable codes and
regulations, and conditions of preliminary plat approval as recommended.
16. Based on a review of the applicant's traffic iinpact analysis, and preliminary plat application
as proposed, the Public Works Director and Traffic Engineer have determined that the
proposal will comply with 'City codes, policies, and regulations pertaining to site access,
street layout, and design. In addition, the Federal Way Fire Department has reviewed and
accepted the preliminary street plans, including curve radii, as proposed.
Internal streets within the plat are designated as local streets by the FWCP, and will be
constructed with full street improvements as required by the FWCC. Ninth Avenue SW is
designated as a minor collector, and will be improved to three-quarter street improvements.
Conversion of existing private accesS tracts within 9th Avenue SW to public right-of-way,
-and improvements therein, are required by the FWCC as a second access to the plat. A 30-
foot wide strip of land along the entire western boundary of the plat will be dedicated for
future potential construction of 12th Avenue SW, as conceptually depicted in the 2000
FWCP, and a strip ofland varying in width from 30 to 45 feet along the entire southern
boundary of the plat will be dedicated for future potential construction of SW 366th Street, as
conceptually depicted in the 2000 FWCP. Construction of 12th Avenue SW and SW 366th
Street is not required with this plat. All road right-of-ways will be dedicated to the City, with
the exception of one private access tract, which must meet applicable City standards. As
noted on the preliminary plat, this tract will be owned and maintained by the lot owners
receiving access from each tract.
As required by the MDNS, and identified in a neighborhood traffic safety (NTS) meeting
with adjacent residents, and as shown on the prelimipary plat map, a total of three speed
humps, with associated signage, will be constructed to City standards on 9th Avenue SW.
17. The applicant's school access analysis was reviewed by the Federal Way School District.
According to the District, the proposed development will generate approximately 18 to 19
school aged children. The site is located in the service areas for Enterprise Elementary, Illahee
Middle School, and Todd Beamer High School. Enterprise and Beamer students would be
transported by bus, as the schools are located more than a mile from the site. Current bus stop

locations are as follows: Enterprise at 6th Avenue SW and SW 367th Street; Beamer at 6th Avenue
SW and SW 363nl Streets. A safe walking route to all bus stops via sidewalks will be available to
. students living within the plat. The District also stated that the two walking routes to TIlahee
Middle School, as outlined in the School Access Analysis, meet the minimum requirements for a
safe walking path to the school.
18. Water and sewer facilities are available from the Lakehaven Utility District and are adequate to
serve the proposed development. It is the applicant's responsibility to secure all necessary water
and sewer services from the utility provider.
19. The proposed subdivision and all attachments have been reviewed for compliance with the
FWCP; FWCC Chapter 18, "Environmental Protection"; Chapter 20, "Subdivisions"; Chapter
22, "Zoning"; and all other applicable codes and regulations. As proposed by the applicant, and
as recommended by staff, the preliminary plat is consistent with the FWCP and all applicable
codes and regulations~
20. Prior to fmal plat approval and recording, all required and approved improvements will be

Inter/oca/ Agreement with Lakehaven Utility Distrlctfor the design and construction of S336th
at pI Way South Intersection Improvement pro;ect
POLICY QUESTION:
Should the Council authorize the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with Lakehave Utility District (LUD) for the design
and construction of a water main as part of the S336th at I st Way Intersection Improvements Project?
BACKGROUND:
Lakehaven Utility District requested the City to enter into an interlocal agreement for the design and construction
of a water main replacement as part of the S336th Street at 1 st Way South Intersection hnprovements project in an
effort to reduce both cost and extended public disruption of the area.
The estimated cost of the interlocal agreement as outlined in Exhibit "B" of the Agreement is $5,460.00 for
project design. Also, Exhibit "B" lists several items dependent upon the final construction costs as "TBD", To
Be Determined. These items will be completed when the water main replacement is fully designed and the
project is bid for construction. At that time this Agreement will be amended to reflect the bid amounts and the
total cost of this project ifLUD elects to have the project constructed by the City's contractor.
Due to the fact that we had to resolve the water main replacement issue, enter into an interlocal agreement
with Lakehaven, and the desire to have the project construction completed without any potential shut-down
during the winter weather, the ad date for this project has been moved to February 2006.
OPTIONS:
I. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Interlocal Agreement as written.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Interlocal Agreement with the Committee recommended
modifications.
3. Reject the Interlocal Agreement and have Lakehave perform the design and project construction
separately from the City project.
4. Direct staff to any other option the Committee would like staff to evaluate.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends forwarding Option 1 to the August 2, 2005 City Council Consent Agenda for Approval:
Authorize the City Manager to execute the attached Interlocal Agreement as written.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Forward the above staff recommendation to the August 2, 2005 City Council Consent Agenda.

South 320th Street at r' Avenue South Intersection Improvements Project;
30% Design Status Report
POLICY QUESTION:
Should the Council authorize staff to proceed with design of the South 320th Street at 1 st Avenue South Intersection
Improvements Project and return to the Council at the 85% design completion for further reports and authorization?
BACKGROUND:
This project will add a 2nd left-turn lane in all four directions, northbound, southbound and westbound right-turn
lanes and widen 1st Avenue South to 5 lanes from South 3 16th Street to South 320th Street. The traffic signal
system will be modified to accommodate the added lanes. The existing span-wire emergency signal system at the
Federal Way Fire Department will be replaced with a new signal.
The following provides a brief synopsis of the progress on this project to date. Currently, the project design is
approximately 30% complete, which includes the following completed tasks:
. The Topographical Surveys
. The Geotechnical Investigation
· SEP A Submittals
. Channelization Plans
. Project Design to 30%
Ongoing Tasks Include:
. SEP A Approval and Project Permitting
. Value Engineering Study
. Right of Way Requirements (Property Appraisals, Review Appraisals Negotiation and
Acquisition)
. Project Open House scheduled for July 2005
. Project Design to 85%

At this time, staff anticipates obtaining Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) funds at 60% funding, or
approximately $3,823,320. This project budget has funding shortfall of $1,262,655. The scope of the project has
expanded from the original scope that was outlined in the City Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The
added scope includes adding a second southbound left turn lane, a second southbound right turn lane, and a
second eastbound left turn lane. This increase in scope required additional right of way acquisitions, additional
retaining walls and increased the size of the surface water detention and water quality facilities.
Staff evaluated the possibility of constructing a roundabout at this intersection to provide a traffic calming,
pedestrian friendly, and aesthetic intersection. Even with three lanes the roundabout alternative will not meet the
Level of Service (LOS) for the year 2020, and will also have major impacts on the adjoining property. The
roundabout would reduce the number of parking stalls available for the businesses, one of the businesses (North
west comer) would need to be relocated, and the need for higher retaining wall construction and right of way
acquisition for business relocation would increase the project cost.
In 2004 Staff applied and was not successful in obtaining TIB funding for this project as it was scoped in the 2004
TIP. This project was scheduled to go to ad in April 2006 and start construction June 2006 if grant funding from
the State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) was obtained in the 2005 grant cycle. To improve the project
score staff proposes to proceed with the design, environmental approval process and the Right of way acquisition
to qualify as a construction-ready project in the hope of getting 5 additional score points for possible project
funding. As a result, a Till funding application will be submitted in 2006 when the project design and right of
way acquisition is completed.

South 356th Street at SR 99 Intersection Improvements Project;
Design Alternatives Status Report
POLICY QUESTION:
Should the Council authorize staff to proceed with design of the South 356th Street at SR 99 Intersection
Improvements Project and return to the Council at the 30% design completion for further reports and
authorization?
BACKGROUND:
This project is affected by three other Capital Projects, Pacific Highway South HOV Lanes Phase V (South 340th
Street to South 356th Street), South 356th Street Widening (1st Avenue South to SR 99), South 356th Street
Improvements (SR 99 to SR 161) and WSDOT 1-5 Triangle Project. This intersection currently fails to meet City
Level of Service (LOS) criteria. The project consultant evaluated four intersection improvements alternatives.
Alternatives 1-4 meet the City LOS criteria for the year 2030, which are the projected traffic volumes from the
WSDOT 1-5 Triangle Project. Alternative I does not meet the City volume to capacity requirements for the year
2030.
For Alternatives 2-4 the lane configurations are the same and include the following:
. Eastbound - 2 left-turn lanes, 1 thru lane, I right-turn lane
. Westbound - I left-turn lane, 2 thru lanes
. Northbound - 2 left-turn lanes, 2 thru lanes
. Southbound - I left-turn lane, 3 thru lanes
The four Alternatives are shown on the attached exhibits and described below:
ALTERNATIVE 1: ROUNDABOUT
This alternative includes a modem roundabout with three circulating lanes incorporating the four intersecting legs
of S 356th Street and SR 99. To meet FHW A and WSDOT design guidelines for circulating speeds and defection
angles, the westerly approach of S 356th Street will be realigned to intersect the roundabout to the north of the
existing alignment. Likewise, the southbound approach on SR 99 will be realigned to intersect the roundabout
west of the existing alignment. By locating the roundabout north of the existing intersection, it is possible to avoid
further realignment of the west and south approach legs of S 356th Street and SR 99. See attached figure
ALTERNATIVE I.
Pros: Eliminates the need for a signal.
Pedestrian friendly.
Cons: The roundabout docs not meet the City volume to capacity requirements.
There are moderate right of way impacts, business relocation required.
WSDOT approval for the 3-lane roundabout on a state highway may be difficult.
This alternative may have possible wetland impacts

Page 2
ALTERNATIVE 2: SIGNAL WITH STRAIGHT EAST LEG:
The proposed east leg of the intersection would be reconfigured as an "in line" continuation of the west leg to
match the existing roadway (South 356th Street) 1600 feet east of the intersection with SR 99. The west, north
and south legs would remain along their existing alignments. See attached figure ALTERNATIVE 2.
Pros: The skew angle of the east leg is increased from 34 to 70 degrees.
Eliminates the signal split phasing.
Cons: The Alternative is the most costly.
There are moderate right of way impacts; business relocation may be required.
WSDOT deviation approval is required for 70-degree skew angle, (WSDOT minimum angle is 75
degrees).
This Alternative may have possible wetland impacts.
ALTERNATIVE 3: SIGNAL WITH MODIFIED EAST LEG:
The proposed east leg of the intersection would be reconfigured as an "in line" continuation of the west leg,
however, it continues northeasterly with reverse curves (connected with small tangent) to match the existing
roadway (South 356th Street) 1200 feet northeast of the intersection with SR 99. The west, north and south legs
would remain along their existing alignments. See attached figure ALTERNATIVE 3.
Pros: The skew angle of the east leg is increased from 34 to 70 degrees.
Eliminates the signal split phasing.
Cons: There are moderate right of way impacts; business relocation may be required.
WSDOT deviation approval is required for 70-degree skew angle, (WSDOT minimum angle is 75
degrees).
This Alternative may have possible wetland impacts.
ALTERNATIVE 4: SIGNAL WITH EXISTING ALIGNMENT EAST LEG:
The proposed west leg would be shifted north to eliminate the angle point through the intersection, 300 feet west
of the intersection of SR 99. The east, north and south legs would remain along their existing alignments. See
attached figure ALTERNATIVE 4.
Pros: There are minimal right of way impacts.
This Alternative does not impact wetlands.
Eliminates the signal split phasing.
Cons: The curves on the east leg would require 6% super-elevation and speed reduced to 30 MPH to meet
WSDOT and AASHTO standards.
WSDOT deviation approval is required for 34-degree skew angle, (WSDOT minimum angle is 75
degrees), and for the radius through the intersection, (WSDOT requires tangent through the intersection,
no radius).
Business relocation may be required.

FROM: Kathy McClung, Director of Community Development Services ~
SUBJECT: Revision to the 2005 Planning Commission and Long Range
Planning Work Program
MEETING DATE: July 18, 2005
A. REQUESTED ACTION
Request that the Land UselTransportation Committee (LUTC) revise the 2005 Planning
Commission Work Program to incorporate the Downtown Code Amendments and some
Shoreline Master Program Updates, and forward a recommendation to the City Council.
B. BACKGROUND
The City Council approved a Planning Commission Work Program at their February 15th
meeting. Since that time, the Council has adopted an Interim Zoning Ordinance for the
City Center Core and a portion ofthe City Center Frame. This Ordinance will expire by
the end ofthe year, if not extended by the City Council. Staff has been directed to
recommend permanent changes to the zoning regulations for this area by the end ofthe
year. This will require a change to the Planning Commission Work Program in order to
accommodate this change.
In addition, City staff applied for a state grant to update the Shoreline Master Program to
the latest state adopted standards. We have been infonned that the City will receive
approximately $150,000 in order to inventory several lakes in the City, assign shoreline
designations to the P AA, and update the text of the program to the latest standards,
incorporating Best Available Science. State law will require these changes by 2009 in any
case. By accepting the grant we are agreeing to complete this work by the end of June
2007. The inventory portion of this grant will be required to be started this year. There
will likely be little that the Planning Commission will actually have to do this year on this
project, but it will impact some staff resources.
In order to accommodate these two unanticipated projects, we will take some senior staff
off of current planning projects to work on these and infill the current planning work with
temporary help. Our goal is to impact the permitting area as little as possible, but there
will be some impact with any staff change.
.
The following is an update of the existing work program (in bold) with the new programs
added in italics:
1 st Quarter _
1. Signs in Annexation Area - Presented at the January 19th Planning Commission

Voluntary Development Agreement between the City of Federal Way and OPUS NW, LLefor
Development of Traffic Signal Improvements at the intersection of SR-18 and SR-161.
POLICY QUESTION:
Should the Council authorize staff to enter into a voluntary development agreement with OPUS NW, LLC for
traffic signal improvements at the intersection of SR-18 and SR-161 ?
BACKGROUND:
OPUS NW, LLC is redeveloping the property south ofSR-18 in between SR-99 and SR-161. As a condition of
the redevelopment, OPUS is required to make partial improvements to the intersection ofSR-18 and SR-161
including upgrades to the existing traffic signal. The City of Federal Way Public Work's department plans on
making improvements to the same intersection as a part of the City's six-year TIP and 200512006 Capital
Improvement budget. The City's planned improvements are scheduled to occur in the summer of 2006, which is
several months' following the planned grand opening of the OPUS redevelopment project.
Thus, to minimize impacts to OPUS, the traveling public, and surrounding businesses, OPUS and the City have
agreed to comprehensively reconstruct the traffic signal one time rather than two times separately. This
coordinated approach will allow for a simplified design and construction project for both parties and will
accelerate the timing of the traffic signal upgrade, thus providing a more efficient level of service at the
intersection.
In order to facilitate the coordinated and cooperative approach to upgrading the traffic signal once versus twice
the City would agree to reimburse OPUS for the difference in costs between the base improvements (traffic signal
improvements OPUS is required to perform as a condition of the redevelopment of their property) and the
expanded improvements (the traffic signal improvements contained in the City's six year TIP and 2005/2006
Capital Improvement Budget).
BUDGET:
The 2005/2006 capital improvement project budget for the intersection project has sufficient funds to cover the
reimbursement to OPUS for the difference in costs between the base and expanded traffic signal upgrade.
OPTIONS:
1. Authorize staff to enter into the voluntary development agreement with OPUS NW, LLC for
development oftraffic signal improvements at the intersection ofSR-18 and SR-161.
2. Do not authorize staff to enter into the voluntary development agreement with OPUS NW, LLC
for development of traffic signal improvements at the intersection ofSR-18 and SR-161.

Status of Traffic Calming Efforts on 2rt Avenue SW
POLlCY QUESTION:
For information only.
BACKGROUND:
At the June 21, 200S, meeting of the City Council, staff was requested to provide an update on the status of the
City's efforts to address speeding concerns on 21st Avenue SW north ofSW Dash Point Road in response to
concerns expressed by residents.
The first petition for traffic calming devices on 21 st Avenue SW was received in late 200 I. The street easily met
the technical criteria for qualifying for the Neighborhood Traffic Safety (NTS) Program. A neighborhood
meeting was held in early 2002 to develop a consensus for addressing the speeding problem. The proposal
developed by those assembled consisted of the installation of all-way stop control on 21 st Avenue SWat both SW
304th Street and SW 30th Street, and two speed humps, one on 21 st Avenue SW between SW 30Sth Street and SW
306th Place, and one on 21 st Way SW between 19th Place SW and 21 st Avenue SW. Ballot results showed only the
speed hump on 21 st Way SW passing. Based on past experience on 4th Avenue S near S 304lh Street, staff
determined that one speed hump would not be effective in deterring speeding, so no propsal was forwarded to the
Committee.
The ballot results were contested due to an issue with the area being balloted. Due to the Council-adopted policy
of including areas wherein the sole source of access would be affected by a traffic calming proposal, a large area
was allowed to vote that would have had to either traverse a speed hump or an all-way stop intersection. This
issue was brought to the Committee and Council in July 2002, which reaffirmed the balloting area policy.
A second petition was received in 2003. Again, 21 st Avenue SW easily met the technical criteria for qualifying
for the NTS Program. A neighborhood meeting was held in March 2004, wherein a majority of those assembled
developed a proposal to install mini-roundabouts at the intersections of SW 30Sth Street and SW 30th Street,
although a significant minority preferred the previous proposal of all-way stops and speed humps. Note that by
not proposing any changes at SW 304th street, the balloting area previously contested was reduced significantly.
Nonetheless, this ballot measure also failed.
A third petition has now been received. Staff has determined that 21 st A venue SW continues to meet the technical
criteria for qualifying for the NTS program. A neighborhood meeting has been tentatively scheduled for July 27th.
Staff Recommendation:
