4. BUSINESS ITEMS
A. SeaTac International Airport - Noise Ouality Program
Stan Sheppard, Airport Noise Programs Manager, provided background information and a PowerPoint
presentation on the item. John Creighton, Port of Seattle Commission President, was also present to answer
questions.
Council Member Kochmar thanked Mr. Creighton and Mr. Sheppard for their presentation. She also asked
for some clarification on the following. In the last Part 150 Study Process (2002), a recommendation was
made. Council Member Kochmar thought that it had been recommended to change the flight pattern from
its current path to a more south western path, over the Port of Tacoma tide flats. In the Port of Seattle's
minutes, it stated that no change would be made, as the City of Milton complained that the changing of the
flight path would negatively affect their community. Committee Member Kochmar wonders why a city
with considerably less population than that of Federal Way could influence the recommendation of the
study. Why couldn't the flight patterns be changed to go over Puget Sound and Vashon Island, a much less
densely populated area? Secondly, is it possible to change the threshold for the level of noise that is
allowable (DNL) in order to provide services or mitigation fees to those residents and schools most affected
by the noise? Thirdly, with a third runway, although the level of noise may not be increased, the frequency
oftake-offs and landings will increase, How many more flights is the Port of Seattle expecting?

July 2, 2007
Mr. Sheppard explained that through past studies, the Port has developed a policy on how they will
implement change. In order to change the current flight paths that are having adverse affects to Federal
Way residents, the Port would have to consider the opinions of the residents who would be affected by the
change. To change the flight path to move more westward over the Port of Tacoma, Milton, and Fife, the
Port of Seattle would need those communities' approval for the flight path change in order to warrant
making the change. The Port of Seattle has tried to get the approval from Fife and Milton in the past and it
hasn't happened. Mr. Sheppard strongly believes that the only way to possibly influence a change would
be for residents to go to their Congressman, Adam Smith, and complain enough to get his attention and
support in order to try to get him to lobby for the change in their behalf.
To answer the second question, changing the DNL is not something that can be changed by the desire to do
so. It can only be changed by changing the type of aircraft that are being used. Mr. Creighton added that in
earlier conversation, Council Member Kochmar had expressed much concern for the affect this noise has
had on the students and learning in the Federal Way School District. Mr. Creighton believes that the Port
of Seattle would be favorable to looking into federal programs that may have monies available to help the
most adversely affected schools. Most of these federal programs use the noise contours as guidelines for
funding.
Committee Chair Dovey asked for more information on the DNL. If the DNL is an average, is it possible
that there are some planes that far exceed the average DNL? Mr. Sheppard described it as a logarithmic
average, taken over the course of a year and includes many different aircraft. Because there are so many
different planes in use today, yes, there are planes that will exceed the 65 average DNL, for example, EVA
air has a 747-400, that flies a couple times a week during the early am hours, full of passengers and cargo.
This flight probably does exceed the 65 DNL.
Public Comment:
Rick Hughes - Mr, Hughes commented that he has spoken with Mr. Sheppard and his associates at the Port
of Seattle on multiple occasions and has gotten nowhere. He has a hard time believing that nothing can be
done about the noise quality, especially concerning the EVA Air flight that ascends and turns over western
Federal Way at 3:00 AM in the morning. Mr, Hughes estimates that the 747-400 is at 2,000 to 3,000 ft
altitude, far lower (therefore, much louder) than what is required. Mr. Sheppard explained that the Port of
Seattle works to make each airlines comply with the federal regulations as much as possible. All flights are
watched and monitored. The Port has attempted to ask EVA Air to alter their flight times. Due to many
factors, that has not been possible.
Anna Etter - Ms. Etter lives near 30Sth Street and is pleased the Port is present to listen to Federal Way's
concerns over airplane noise, Since the Port says that not much can be done, what can our Council and
residents do to help influence the situation and help influence the Port of Seattle to make a change? Mr.
Creighton encourages the residents and the Council members to make their feelings known to the Port at
the next Part 150 Program. The Port Commissioners are very open to working with the congressional
delegation.
Committee Member McColgan asked about the change that had occurred at John Wayne Airport in Orange
County, CA. Mr. Sheppard explained that prior to 1990 the Airport Noise and Capacity Act had been
enacted in Orange County and was grandfathered in, in order to maintain the quality of noise in that region.
Committee Chair Dovey reiterated to the audience that the City is fortunate to have Port Commission
representation at this meeting. Chair Dovey hopes that residents will understand that this is a process and
that although we would all hope for change to occur as soon as possible, we are beginning the process that
will hopefully influence change in the next Part 150 Study in 2009.
Peter Townsend - Mr, Townsend wanted to know the effect the planes with newer technology will have on
the third runway, Will it keep some of the older planes off of the third runway? Mr. Sheppard explained
that the effect that technology has on planes is that is makes them more efficient. Technology is evolving
and streamlining aircraft. Currently the airport is affected by poor weather conditions multiple days each
G:\LUTClLUTC Agendas and Summaries 2007\12-3-07 Minutes.doc
Land Use/Transportation Committee
Page 3
July 2, 2007
year. The result is decreased capacity as this leaves only one runway functioning at a level below normal.
The third runway's main function will be to keep airplane capacity at a constant level, even during some
poor weather conditions. The FAA has regulated at what distance from the airport and at what altitude an
aircraft must be to turn. There is also a point at which the aircraft must "fly by" before it turns out (west)
over the water.
Ms. Tapp - Ms. Tapp lives in Marine Hills and thanks the Port for being present today. She asks the Port
for clarification, Since 1993, although the FAA has made change to the flight path, she has not noticed any
significant change in noise. Prior to the FAA changing the requirements for tuning to include a "fly by"
location, who could possibly be complaining about airplane noise over the water, since no one actually
lives on the water? Chair Dovey restated the question asking where the complaints actually originated
from. Mr. Sheppard answered that most of the complaints originated along the shoreline. It is possible that
the water magnified the noise level.
Nancy Combs - Ms, Combs lives in southwest Federal Way and was very agitated about the level of noise
from aircraft and how it has adversely impacted her quality of life. As her comment did not ask a question,
no response was given.
Rod Leland of Federal Way Public Schools thanked the Port for being present. The school district's
priority is the education of the students. With at least ten schools in the district impacted by the airplane
noise: Woodmont, Vahalla and Sunnycrest Elementary, does it make sense to make the students have to
wait three years for mitigation as a result of all the noise (one year until the next study plus two years for
the study)? Mr. Sheppard responded that working with their recourses and within the noise contours, it is
unlikely that any federal funding would be available to those areas beyond of the 65 DNL contour. Mr.
Creighton added that in the SeaTac and south Seattle area along with the Highline School District, all of
those noise programs were strictly funded with federal money from the FAA. Mr. Creighton added that it
may still be possible to find other monies available for such programs, especially in the case of the school
district with the help of our state legislators and possible widening the range of the noise contours.
Committee Member McColgan wants a better understanding of why the EVA Air flight at 2:30-3:00 AM
cannot be restricted since it affects thousands of residents in our community. Mr. Sheppard reiterated that
the Port has truly done all it can to communicate with EVA Air on the affects of this particular flight. EVA
Air is aware that it is having negative impacts on communities, but unfortunately, they have no other viable
options for this particular flight. There are some things the Port is trying to do, however. On arrivals, there
will be a "continuous descent approach" implemented. There is the ability to implement this more readily
with nighttime approaches as air travel is somewhat reduced. The Port is hoping to see some positive
changes in level of noise to communities with this program.
Bud Moore -Marine Hills, Federal Way. Mr. Moore wonders if new planes with new technology can't be
utilized to reduce noise impacts in Federal Way. Also, a broad area benefits from having the Sea Tac
Airport, although it seems as though the flight paths favor the area south of the airport (Federal Way).
Can't the impacts of the noise be distributed just like the benefits of the airport? Mr. Sheppard confirmed
that newer aircraft with newer technology will reduce noise impacts over time as more and older planes are
replaced, however, changing the flight paths of existing flights is not likely to change or at least change
within the next few years. Federal funding dictates what the Port can do to provide noise quality programs.
Chair Dovey again encouraged residents to take this to the next level and contact their congressman, Adam
Smith.
Paul Matthews - Marine Hills, Federal Way resident for 50 years. Can the public have access to the data
on elevation and nautical miles south of the airport? Mr. Matthews suspects that there are probably a
significant number of violations and would like to have access to this information to look for himself. Mr.
Sheppard pointed out how the information can be obtained and also made available a pamphlet with
general information for those in attendance.

Raymond Holmes - Federal Way resident for 35 years, Mr, Holmes feels that the noise impacts from
aircraft turning west out over the water has doubled or tripled in the last couple of years, He feels as
though the planes are turning west prior to getting enough altitude, If the planes were higher prior to
turning west, the noise would not be so great. Mr. Sheppard explained that the destination of the flights
really determines that point at which the plane turns west out over the water. The demand of various flights
truly determines this factor.
Council Member Burbidge stated that she has heard so many complaints over the years on the EVA Air
flight, more complaints probably than any other flight. Mr. Sheppard responded that due to the size and
weight ofthe aircraft, the noise it projects is going to be greater.
Jim Simpson - Marine Hills, Federal Way. Is there any reason why the EVA Air flights in question could
have their flight plan extended further south prior to turning west. Mr. Sheppard reiterated that in order to
change a flight plan, the Port would need "buy off' from the cities of Fife and Milton. To date, Fife and
Milton say no. Chair Dovey asked again the question of if the cities of Milton and Fife bought off on the
flight plan, then the FAA would approve the change? Mr. Sheppard said that if Fife and Milton would
agree to the flight plan change, the FAA would entertain and most likely change the flight plan, although it
is not possible to say with absolute certainty.
Committee Member Kochrnar thanked the Port of Seattle representatives for being present. She has been
involved in this issue for many years and has been equally frustrated that a solution to the negative impacts
of airplane noise in Federal Way has not been found, Committee Member Kochmar wants the community
to know that she stands behind them and wants them to be taken care of. Committee Member Kochmar
requested Chair Dovey request staff to provide a transcript of tonight's meeting to: all Port of Seattle
commissioners that were not present at tonight's meeting, all Port of Seattle officials, all of our
Congressional delegates, and a copy directly to Congressman Adam Smith. Committee Member Kochmar
would like to take a look at the possibility of air traffic Impact Fees from the airport, and in addition,
requests Committee Chair Dovey add this issue to the our legislative agenda that begins in January.
Chair Dovey requested that Stan Sheppard provide a printout each day for 60 days to ACM Cary Roe with
the data on the EVA Air flight that has caused so much concern. Staff would like to have this data
available as a tool to be proactive in their attempt to address this issue.
E. 2008 School Impact Fees
ACM Wang provided background information on the item. Also present from Federal Way Public Schools
were Sally McLean, Chief Financial Officer and Jerrie Walker, GIS Analist. Ms. McLean passed out a
handout, School Impact Fees. She thanked staff and Council Members for their partnership and support in
collecting impact fees. Since 1996, $4 million has been collected in impact fees and has been used to
install portables, build the Public Academy, and has helped finance new construction. All new construction
has future growth in mind (common areas that can be converted to classrooms as future growth allows).
Committee Member McColgan noted the recent school bond that passed. Is this (school impact fees) a
separate issue for different construction? Ms. McLean responded that this is an impact fee that applicants
and developers that come into the city and want to build new buildings would have to pay. This fee would
help offset the cost to the district for increased capacity of adding additional students to the district. Chair
Dovey inquired as to the City of Des Moines impact fees. Ms. McLean stated that the City of Des Moines
has never adopted a Growth Management Act. Any impact fees have been collected in the SEP A process.
When a Des Moines development has impacted Federal Way schools, Des Moines and Federal Way School
District have negotiated fees at the time of SEP A. The State is not matching the impact fees. Chair Dovey
noted that Federal Way's impact fees are significantly lower than our neighboring cities. With more multi-
family housing developing and more density anticipated, does the school district forecast higher impact
fees? Ms. McLean said that many factors will influence impact fees in the futures. These fees will be
reevaluated on a regular basis and fees adjusted accordingly.

C. Capital Proiects Review Policy
Marwan Salloum provided background information on the item. Committee Member McColgan asked Mr.
Salloum to summarize how the recommended policy will differ from the current procedure of reviewing
capital projects. Mr. Salloum explained that the current procedure for reviewing capital projects includes
conunittee and Council approval at the 30%, 80% and 100% design stages of project. The proposed policy
will ask the committee and Council to approve design of the capital project at the 30% and 85%-100%
stages, combining the later stages of the design process, approving the budget and authorizing staff to bid
the project for construction.

On August 2,2007, a Notice and Order to Correct Violations was issued to Mr. Hoban,
the property owner of2316 SW 325th Street. In Violation Order 07-104006, the city cited
Mr. Hoban with violations of: 1) Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Section 22952, "Junk
and Junk Yards Prohibited"; 2) International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) 302.5,
"Rodent Harborage"; and 3) FWCC Section 22-1177, "Parking and Storage of
Recreational Vehicle."
On August 16,2007, Mr. Hoban entered into a Limited Right of Entry Agreement
(LROE) with the City of Federal Way. In the LROE, Mr. Hoban agreed to bring his
property into compliance by August 23,2007. On August 23rd Mr. Hoban was not in
compliance. The city, in section #3 of the LROE, has the right to bring property into
compliance and then recover reimbursement from the property owner.
On September 4,2007, the city had its sub-contractor, Olympic Landscape Maintenance,
started the clean-up work. All of the junk and junk vehicles, rodent harborage, and
recreational vehicle were removed. The property was brought into compliance.
On November 2,2007, Mr. Hoban was presented the bill for the work that the city had
done to bring his property into compliance. He was requested to pay within 30 days.
As of December 10,2007, Mr. Hoban has not paid the City of Federal Way. I request that
the City Council certify the cost of the abatement on The Hoban Project.

Phil Olbrechts, Hearing Examiner
RE: North Lake Pointe Preliminary Plat
06-106495-00-SU
FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS OF
LA W AND RECOMMENDATION
INTRODUCTION
The applicant requests approval of a preliminary plat to subdivide a 3.7 acres into 12 residential,
single-family lots. The Examiner recommends approval subject to conditions recommended by
staff.
ORAL TESTIMONY
David Lee, Associate Planner for Federal Way, summarized the application. A staff member
from the Public Works Department answered questions regarding the use of a private tract for
access to some of the lots.
EXIDBITS
See list of exhibits at page 11 of the October 1, 2007, staff report prepared by David Lee. In
addition, a hard copy of the PowerPoint presentation presented by David Lee was introduced as
Exhibit 13. Mr. Lee also submitted a revised staff report as Exhibit 14.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Procedural:
1. Applicant. The applicant is Russ Millard.
2. Hearing. The Hearing Examiner conducted a hearing on the application at 10:00 a.m. at
Federal Way City Hall on November 14, 2007.
Substantive:
3. Site/Proposal Description. The proposal includes a subdivision of 3.7 acres into 12
residential, single-family lots. One existing single-family dwelling will be demolished and
another existing sip,gle-family dwelling will be preserved. Street improvements, water, sewer,
utilities, storm drainage control improvements and other related infrastructure improvements will
be installed to service the plat. The preliminary plat map was introduced into the record as
Exhibit 1.
4. Characteristics of the Area. The subject property is bordered on the north, east and west
with single-family residential development and to the south with open space.
{P A0679544.DQC; 1I13041.90OOOOI}
Preliminar~J)lat Recommendation
11. 1
Findings>- Conclusions and Recommendation
5. Adverse Impacts. There are no adverse impacts of significance associated with the
proposal. There were no comments received from any concerned members of the public at the
hearing or through any written comment. As noted in the staff report, the subject land is not in a
problem area relative to landslide, seismic hazard, erosion, steep slope hazards or a hundred-year
floodplain. There are no wetlands on site or within 200 feet of the property. Further, there are
no wildlife species recognized as priority species by Federal Way regulations.
6. Adequacy of Infrastructure and Public Services. As mitigated by staff, adequate
infrastructure will serve development as follows:
· Transportation: The Public Works Department and South King Fire & Rescue have
approved preliminary roadway design and curve radii as proposed. Lots 3, 4, 5 and 6
will be accessed by a private access tract. South 332nd Place, which connects the plat
to 38th A venue South, shall only be constructed to half-street improvements with a
20-foot paved roadway and frontage improvements on the north side of the proposed
road. The rest of the road that traverses the subdivision (South 332nd Place and 39th
Place South) will be constructed to the "U" Roadway Section Standards, which
involves a 32-foot paved roadway along with sidewalks on both sides, as well as curb,
gutter, and planter strips. No off-site traffic mitigation was found to be required
under State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review.
· Ol'en Space: The applicant will not be dedicating any open space. In lieu of the
dedication of open space, the applicant has chosen to pay a fee in lieu of open space
as authorized by FWCC Section 20-125. Fee in lieu of open space shall be calculated
on 15% of the most recent assessed or appraised value of the subject property.
· Drainage: Storm drainage facilities are being designed in accordance with the 1998
King County Surface Water Design Manual and the City's Amendments to the
Manual. The applicant's December 2006 Preliminary Conceptual Storm Drainage
Analysis (Exhibit No. 13) by Rykels Engineering Group, Inc., was reviewed by the
City's Public Works Department. The preliminary design proposes to collect and
convey stormwater runoff through a series of pipes and catch basins into a private
stormwater detention and water quality treatment facility located near the southeast
portion of the North Lake Pointe site. The stormwater detention and water quality
treatment facility will be located in a separate tract that will be dedicated to the City
at final plat review.
· Water: The applicant proposes to serve the subdivision with a public water supply
and distribution system managed by the Lakehaven Utility District. A July 21, 2006,
signed Certificate of Water Availability (Exhibit No. 12) indicates Lakehaven's
capacity to serve the proposed development.
· Sewage: The applicant proposes to serve the proposed plat by a public sewer system
managed by Lakehaven Utility District. A July 21,2006, signed Certificate of Sewer
Availability (Exhibit No. 11) indicates the District's capacity to serve the proposed
development through a developer extension agreement between the applicant and the
District.

· Schools: The applicant shall be required to pay school impact fees, at the rate of
$3,169 per single-family housing unit, at the time of building permit issuance. Staff
forwarded the application to the Federal Way School District for comments. No
written comments from the School District were submitted into the record, although
the staff report indicates that the School District commented that the project would be
served by Lake Dolloff Elementary School, Sequoyah Middle School, and Todd
Beamer High School. School bus transportation is provided for all three schools.
Staff also determined that the subdivision will provide safe pedestrian access to the
nearest bus stops for these three schools. Staff also found safe pedestrian access to
the schools themselves, although the distance to the schools makes it unlikely that any
students would actually walk to school. Exhibit No.9, a school access analysis,
identifies the pathways that would be used by students to walk to school bus stops or
to the schools themselves.
· Fire Protection: As noted in the staff report, the Certificate of Water Availability
from the Lakehaven Utility District indicates that water will be available to the site in
sufficient quantity to satisfy fire flow standards for the proposed development. South
King County Fire & Rescue requires that a fire hydrant be located within 350 feet of
each lot. Using this standard, the number and location of fire hydrants will be
reviewed and approved by South King County Fire & Rescue as a condition of
preliminary plat approval.

reviewing the preliminary plat and may recommend approval of the plat to the City Council if:
( 1) It is consistent with the comprehensive plan;
4. The 2003 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan designates the property as Single Family-
High Density. The proposed land use is consistent with the density allowances and policies
applicable to this land use as established in the Comprehensive Plan.

FWCC 20-126(c)(2): It is consistent with all applicable provisions of the Chapter, including
those adopted by reference from the comprehensive plan:
5. The "Chapter" reference in the criterion above appears to be Division VI (Preliminary
Plat) of Title 20 of the FWCC. As noted in detail in the staff report, the application has complied
with all the procedural requirements for preliminary plat review. Further, as required by FWCC
~ 20-115, the environmental review process required under the State Environmental Policy Act
has also been completed on August 22, 2007, through the issuance of a determination of non-
significance, which was not appealed. The proposal is also in conformance with the City's
Zoning Code as required by FWCC 20-112, as proposed use and densities for the property are
consistent with its RS-9.6 zoning designation.
FWCC 20-126(c)(3): It is consistent with public health, safety, and welfare.
6. As identified in the Findings of Fact, as conditioned there are no material or significant
adverse impacts associated with the project and there will be adequate infrastructure to serve it.
For these reasons, the plat is consistent with public health, safety, and welfare.
FWCC 20-126(c)(4): It is consistent with the design criteria listed in FWCC 20-2:
FWCC 20-2: This chapter is adopted in furtherance of the comprehensive plan of the City. It is
hereby declared that the regulations contained in this chapter are necessary to:
(1) Promote the health, safety and general welfare in accordance with the standards
established by the state and the city;
7. As noted in the Washington State Growth Management Act, the Washington State
Legislature has found it to be in the public interest to prevent urban sprawl and to promote the
efficient use of infrastructure. The infill development proposed by the applicant at urban
densities meets these objectives. Also, as previously discussed, the project, as mitigated, creates
no material or significant adverse impacts and there is adequate infrastructure to meet the needs
of the new development. For these reasons, the project promotes the health, safety, and general
welfare in accordance with the standards established by the state and the city.
FWCC 20-2(2): Promote effective use of land by preventing the overcrowding or scattered
development which would injury health, safety or the general welfare due to lack of water
supplies, sanitary sewer, drainage, transportation or other public services, or excessive
expenditure of public funds for such services:
8. As previously noted, the project constitutes infill development in an area that is already
characterized and developed by residential development. Also as previously discussed, the
project is served (or as conditioned will be served) by adequate infrastructure. The density of the
proposal, as noted in the staff report, is consistent with the surrounding densities as well. For
these reasons, the above criterion is satisfied.
FWCC 20-2(4): Provide for adequate light and air.

Findings,,-Conclusions and Recommendation
9. The density of the project meets the density requirements for the RS-9.6 district. The
applicant will have to comply with the dimensional requirements of the zoning code for any
structures it builds in order to get through building permit review. The dimensional standards of
the City's Zoning Code sets the standard for adequacy of light and air and for these reasons the
above criterion is satisfied.
FWCC 20-2(5): Provide for water, sewage, drainage, parks and recreational areas, sites for
schools and school grounds and other public requirements:
10. As noted in the Findings of Fact, the project is served by adequate infrastructure.
FWCC 20-2(6): Provide for proper ingress and egress:
11. Access to all lots complies with City design standards.
FWCC 20-2(7): Providefor housing and commercial needs of the community:
12. The project provides for infill development and urban densities and therefore satisfies the
above criteria.
FWCC 20-2(8): Require uniform monumenting of land divisions and conveyance of accurate
legal descriptions:
13. FWCC 20-111(b) requires that the survey of the proposed subdivision must be made by
or under the supervision of a registered land surveyor who shall certify that it is a true and
correct representation of the land surveyed. This and other requirements like it help ensure that
the objective of uniform monumenting of land divisions and accurate legal descriptions are
satisfied.
FWCC 20-2(9): Protect environmentally sensitive areas:
14. As noted previously, the project has gone through a review under the State
Environmental Policy Act, which ensures that all environmentally sensitive areas are protected
and mitigated. As noted in the staff report, there are no recognized environmentally sensitive
areas on the subject property.
FWCC 20-2(10): Provide for flexibility and site design to accommodate view enhancement
protection, protection of streams and wetlands, protection of steep slopes and other
environmental significant or sensitive areas.
15. There are no environmentally sensitive areas in need of protection at this site and there is
no evidence of any view impairment.
FWCC 20-125(c)(5): It is consistent with the development standards listed in FWCC 20-151
through 20-157, and 20-178 through 20-187.
16. As discussed in the staff report, the project complies with the standards listed in FWCC
20-151 through 20-157 and FWCC 20-178 through 20-187. These standards govern adequacy of

infrastructure, dimensional density standards, street improvements, landscaping, and retention of
vegetation. The only issue that is of some concern is FWCC 20-152(d), which provides that
"[i]n general, all lots should be accessed by public street right of way....". It is clear from the
plat map (Exhibit 1) that the lots served by Tract B could not be reasonably configured to
accommodate the greater amount of area required for a public right of way. Given state and
local policies favoring urban densities within cities, the use of private access tracts is a
reasonable accommodation. Given the recent Abby Lane decision, however, it does appear that
private access tracts are often used to circumvent the more onerous dimensional standards for
development of public right of way.
RECOMMENDA TION
The Examiner recommends that the City Council approve the preliminary plat subject to the
conditions recommended by staff in the revised October 1,2007 Staff Report (Exhibit No. 14).
Any requirements identified by staff in Section XI of the Staff Report, Findings of Fact, are also
adopted as recommended Conditions of Approval. The following is also added as a Condition of
Approval::
1. Fire hydrants shall be located within 350 feet of each proposed lot. The exact number
and location of fire hydrants shall be reviewed and approved by South King County Fire
& Rescue prior to final plat approval.
Dated this 26th day of November, 2007.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
PuRPOSE OF CHECKLmT
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A), Revised Code a/Washington (RCW) Chapter 43.21 C, requites
all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An
environmental impact statement (BIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse
impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you
and the agency identify impacts from' your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it
can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an BIS is required.
INSTRUCfIONS FOR APPLICANTS
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about our proposal. Governmental
agencies use this checklist to determiiJ.e whether the environniental impacts of your proposal are significant,
requiring preparation of an BIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or
give the best description you can.
You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you
should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire
experts. If you do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know"
or "does not apply." Complete answers to questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations.
Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time
or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or Its
environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or
provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there llJ,ay be significant adverse impact.
. .
USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NON-PROJECI' PROPOSALS
Complete this checklist for non-project proposals, even though questions may be answered ".does not apply."
In addition, complete the Supplemental Sheet for Non-Project Actions.
For non-project actions, the references in the checklist to the words ''project,'' "applicant," and "property or
site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," tt~~f~ED

- B.ENVJRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. EARrn
a. General description of the site (circle one): flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other.
The site has a gentle slope to the south, but would be considered relatively flat.
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
Less than 10%.
c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, mulch)? If
you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime farmland.
Dense glacially consolidated silty sand.
d. Are there surface indications or histoty of unsqtble soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe.
None Known.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate
source of fill.
The on-site improvements will provide frQ building pads, streets, and stromwater management
facilities. There will be about 20,000 feet of cut and fill for the storm water management facility, streets and
pads, as well as cuts and fills not to exceed eight feet. There will be select back fill materials imported for
backfilling trenches, roadwork and concrete preparation. The site is inten.ded to balance on-site.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
Erosion could occur during the removal of vegetation and clearing,
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction
(for example, asphalt or buildings)?
IT is expected that due to the development of the large lots that less than 40010 of the site would be
covered by impervious surfaces.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any.
A temporary erosion control plan will be developed and implemented. Appropriate measures such as silt
fencing and other measures in accordance with City of Federal Way requirements will be utilized, as
appropriate.
2. AIR
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors,
industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally
describe and give approximate quantities ifknown.
The types of emissions that will be those generally associated with plat construction and single-
fainily neighborhoods. These would include construction equipment exhaust, dust, automobile
exhaust and smoke from gas fireplaces. There will be no unusual odors or industrial emissions.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally
describe.
The off-site sources of emissions or odors would be the residential neighborhoods that surround the
site and SR 18.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any.
The Washington Clean Air Act requires the use of all known available and reasonable means of controlling
air pollution, including dust. Construction impacts will not be significant and can be controlled by watering or
using dust suppressants on areas of exposed soils, water truck wheels before leaving the site and maintaining
gravel construction entrances.
3. WATER
a. Surface.
1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year-round
and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide
names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into.
None Known.
2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described waters?
If yes, please describe and attach available plans.
Not Applicable.
3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from
surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the
source of fill material.
None, this is not applicable.
4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description,
purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
Not Applicable.
5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year floodplain? If so, note loc8.tion on the site plan.
No
6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe
the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge.
All surface water discharge will be controlled by the storm water management facility.
b. Ground.
1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to groundwater? Give general
description, purpose, and approximate quantities ifknown.
No.
2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other
sources, if any (for example: domestic sewage; industrial, containing the following
chemicals...; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the number of such
systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans
the system(s) are expected to serve.
-
Not applicable.
c. Water Runoff (including stormwater)
1) Describe the source of nmoff (including stormwater) and method of collection and disposal, if
any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other
waters? If so, describe.
As approved by the City of Federal Way on-site surface runoff water will be collected and
controlled using the storm water management facility. After detention, treated water will be
discharged to the existing drainage system. Off-site water will not be collected or treated.
. ,
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so; generally desc!ibe.

SECTION 1 PROJECT OVERVIEW
Proiect Location
The 3.8 acre project consists of three separate parcels that are located in the SW/4 of f
Section 15, TWP 21N, RGE 4E, W.M. The property is located along the east side of S
38th Ave South, adjacent to and westerly of the Northlake Ridge Subdivision. The
address of the existing residence. is 33214 38th Ave South, Federal Way, WA. The tax
parcel numbers for these tracts are 6143600-0617, 0614, & -0500. The project is
generally located in the easterly part of Federal Way, north of SR 18 and easterly of
North Lake.
Proiect Description
The approximate 3.8 acre site is to be developed as a 12-Lot Subdivision. It is
planned that the one existing residence will remain and 10 new single family homes
will be constructed. Access to the site will be via a new roadway extended east and
southerly from 38th Ave South to connect to S 333rd PI along the east property at North
Lake Ridge Subdivision. Work will include site clearing and grading, installation of a
storm drainage collection, water quality and detention system, extension of water and
sewer service for each lot; site work, paving and installation of other utilities as
required to service the entire development. All roof, footing and driveway drains from
the new residences will be connected to the drainage system. The minimum lot size
for the proposed subdivision is 7,200 sf, the zoning is SR9.6.
Predeveloped Conditions - The proposed project consists of three separate tax
parcels. There are existing residences with outbuildings on two of these lots. The
existing residence on future lot 10 will remain. The other residence and outbuildings
will be removed. The remainder of the property is used as lawn and open pasture. The
southerly portion of the site is covered with mature trees and brush. The natural
gradient of the property is a slight slope from northwest to southeast towards an
existing offsite wetland area on the adjacent property. There is an approximate slope of
1% across the property. There is an approximate 6 foot change in elevation across the
property. Portions of the site have been cleared in the past. The property drains via
surface runoff to a wetland area on the recently completed plat of North Lake Shore
Lands to the south and east of the subject property.
This downstream wetland and drainage course is identified as Sub-basin B 1 in the
drainage analysis for the East Campus south Residential Drainage Report prepared for
the Quadrant Corporation by ESM Engineers, on file at the City of Federal Way. A
copy of this report was used to aide in the preparation of the downstream analysis for
the project.
At this time, there are no special drainage requirements that apply to the development
of this property. The preliminary subdivision application will be considered by the City
upon acceptance of the drainage design. The storm drainage design requirements
applicable to this project are found in the appropriate provisions of the 1998 King
North Lake Pointe Subdivision, Federal Way, WA
County Surface Water Design Manual as modified by the City of Federal Way. The
City has required that level 1 Flow Control and the Basic Water Quality Control Menus
be used to determine the detention and water quality requirements for the subject
property. Controlled discharge from this project will be to the existing wetland area to
the southwest.
Existin" Soils - The King County Soils Survey Maps identify the soil types for the
subject site as Alderwood Gravely Sandy loam. These soils are generally considered
unsuitable for infiltration systems.
Developed Conditions - Specific site work includes site grading and placement of fill for
the construction of the utilities, roadways and the proposed residences. The required
improvements will include the extension of water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage and
access road improvements for the project. The proposed improvements include
approximately 475 If of full-width street improvements and 200 feet of half street
improvements from into and through the property to provide access to all of the new
lots. A private access tract will be developed to access lots 2-5 and a separate tract to
access lots 12&13 as shown on the plat map. Underground utilities will include water,
sanitary sewer, storm drainage, natural gas, electrical power, telephone, and cable TV.
An underground storm drainage collection system will be installed for the lot and
roadway drainage. All residential downspouts and footing drains will be connected to
this drainage system. The storm drainage system will discharge to a proposed
combination stormwater quality and detention pond located in the along the southeast
side of the site. A storm drain outfall will be installed with an outlet control manhole for
controlled discharge from the detention system to the existing drainage course.
SECTION 2 CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY
Surface Water Drainage Review -The project is required to address Full Drainage
Review under the City of Federal Way Surface Water Design Manual. Full Drainage
Review requires preparation of engineering site improvement plan, a Technical
Information Report, Erosion/Sedimentation Controls and related information. The
project is required to address the applicable core requirements 1-8, special
requirements 1-5.
A. Core Requirements
Core Requirement #1: Discharge at the Natural Location. - The natural topography
of the site is such that all existing runoff sheet drains southeasterly across the
property towards the adjacent natural wetland on the North Lake Shore Lands Plat.
All runoff from the developed site will be intercepted and drain to the control facility
with discharge to this existing downstream system. There is no existing or proposed
bypass area from the drainage system. This runoff is conveyed southerly under SRm18 to the Mill Creek wetland into the Mill Creek Drainage Basin.
North lake Pointe Subdivision; Federal Way, WA
Core Requirement #2: Offsite Analysis -On a slight amount of upstream off site
runoff enters the property from the north. Existing ditches along 38th Ave South
intercept the runoff and carrying westerly towards North Lake. The proposed
drainage facilities will include provisions to intercept any existing runoff that may
enter the property.
Core Requirement #3: Flow Control - The storm drainage design requirements
applicable to this project are found in the 1998 King County Surface Water Design
Manual and appropriate provisions of the City of Federal Way Design Manual. The
City has required that Level 1 Flow Control and the Basic Water Quality Menu be
used to determine the detention and water quality requirements for the subject
property .
Core Requirement #4: Conveyance System - The project site improvements as
proposed include construction of public and private road improvements to provide
access to all new lots. On site storm drainage detention will be provided with a
water quality pond, with controlled release to downstream system. Detailed
calculations for pipe sizing will be provided with the design plans.
Core Requirement #5: Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control - The design plans
to be submitted will list the basic measures and construction ,sequence as required
to address ESC issues for this site.
Core Requirement #6: Maintenance and Operations - All drainage improvements
proposed will be located in public right of way or storm drain tracts. The detention
pond will be located in a tract of land to be dedicated to the City of Federal Way,
maintenance of the drainage system and pond will be the responsibility of the City.
Core Requirement #7: Financial Guarantees and Liability - Once the Engineering
plans are approved, the appropriate bonds will be submitted to the City as part of
the platting process.
Core Requirement #8: Water Quality - The project will use an open combination
stormwater detention and wet pond as approved by the City.
Special Requirement #1: Other Adopted Area-Specific Requirements - Not
applicable for this project.
Special Requirement #2: Floodplain/Floodway - There is no known floodplain or
f100dways on this property.
Special Requirement #3: Flood Protection Facilities - Not applicable to this project.

for the proposed subdivision is 9,600 sf, the zoning is SR9.6.
Predeveloped Conditions - The proposed project consists of three separate tax
parcels. There are existing residences with outbuildings on two of these lots. One of
the residences will remain, and the other building and garage will be removed. The
remainder of the property is used as lawn and open pasture. The southerly portion of
the site is covered with mature trees and brush. The natural gradient of the property is
a slight slope from northwest to southeast towards an existing offsite wetland area on
the adjacent property. There is an approximate slope of 1 % across the property. There
is an approximate 6 foot change in elevation across the property. Portions of the site
have been cleared in the past. The property drains via surface runoff to a wetland area
on the recently completed plat of North Lake Shore Lands to the south and east of the
subject property.
This downstream wetland and drainage course is identified as Sub-basin B 1 in the
drainage analysis for the East Campus south Residential Drainage Report prepared for
the Quadrant Corporation by ESM Engineers, on file at the City of Federal Way. A
copy of this report was used to aide in the preparation of the downstream analysis for
the project.
TASK 2 RESOURCE REVIEW
North Lake Pointe Subdivision, Federal Way, WA
The Publi~ Works Division of the City of Federal Way and the website were visited to
research and obtain copies of available drainage resources for the project vicinity. The
following information was used for the level One drainage analysis:
a. Supporting Maps and Documents - City Drainage Maps, Sensitive Area Maps,
design plans for adjacent properties and topographic information as shown on
the subdivision plans were used for this analysis. The appropriate
documentation is attached to this report.
b. Basin Reconnaissance Summary Report - Not Available for this site.
c. Floodplain and Floodway Maps - The site is not located within an identified
floodplain or flood hazard area.
d. Other Reports or Analysis - Copies of the TIR and Downstream Drainage
reports for the adjacent properties were requested and received from the City of
Federal Way to review the downstream drainage conditions.
TASK 3 FIELD INSPECTION OF STUDY AREA
The project site and downstream drainage course were visually inspected in November
2006. The description of the study area is as follows:
Upstream Tributary Areas - The properties immediately up hill to the north and west of
this project are generally single family homes on large lots with established lawns and
cleared pastures. Drainage from these properties is generally via an undefined
drainage course westerly down the slopes to North Lake and away from the subject
property. There are roadside ditches along 38th Ave South to intercept this surface flow
from the properties above and direct this flow off the property and away from the
downstream system.
Downstream Drainage Analvsis - The property to the southeast is the natural free
flowing outlet for runoff from this project. This property has been recently developed as
a large subdivision with an established stormwater collection and detention system. It
is proposed to maintain the natural drainage course to the existing wetlands located to
the southeast on this property.
TASK 4 DESCRIPTIONnDENTIFICA TION OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
The downstream drainage system consisting of natural wetlands, swales, pipes and
ditches is well established. Although the steeper slopes are subject to erosion, there
have been no significant problems identified in this downstream drainage course.
There are no signs of flooding, erosion, or other problems associated with this existing
drainage system. This system appears to have adequate capacity for the stormwater
runoff. The City had no record of drainage problems within this area.
TASK 5 MITIGATION ONSIlE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
North Lake Pointe Subdivision, Federal Way, WA
Past experience and inspections of the natural soils found on this site indicate that
onsite retention is not feasible. The storm drainage design requirements applicable to
this project are found in the City Construction Standards and the King County Surface
Water Design Manual as modified by the City. The drainage requirements will be
addressed using a combination water quality and detention pond. Preliminary design
volumes and configurations for this pond are attached.
SECTION 4 FLOW CONTROL AND WATER QUALITY
A. Existing Site Hydrology - The proposed plat includes the development of the
above described 3.8 acre tract. There are two existing residences and outbuildings
located on the site. There is an established lawn and deciduous trees around the
residences. There is an existing gravel driveway and large maneuvering! parking area
that accesses the residences from 38th Ave South. The remainder of the site is
modeled as 50% till pasture and 50% till forest.
The following was used for the KCRTS input for existing site conditions.

B Developed Site Hydrology - The developed drainage system consists of the
combined runoff from the 12-lots and the roadway improvements. No significant
developed area will bypass the detention facility. Per the manual requirements, 4,000
sf of impervious area was used for each developed lot and the area of proposed road
improvements was measured from the plat map.

North lake Pointe Subdivision, Federal Way, WA
D. Flow Control System and Performance Standards- The worksheets and
computer analysis for the sizing of the storm drainage detention facility are attached to
this report. The storm drainage detention system has been designed to comply with the
conditions of the Surface Water Design Manual, where applicable. Stormwater
detention for will be provided in a single cell combination water quality and detention
pond and stormwater wetland. An outlet control manhole will restrict runoff to the
existing downstream drainage course. The details for sizing the retention/detention
facility are provided in the attached calculations and on the drainage plan sheets.
Level 1 flow control analysis was used with the time series analysis to design the
detention pond. level 1 flow control requires that the detention pond be sized with the
orifice structure configured to match the duration curves from the developed site to the
duration curves from the predeveloped site between the 2-year flow and the 10-year
flow.
E. Detention Facility - The KSRTS level 1 analysis and site design parameters
allowed the design of a storm drain detention and water quality facility located at the
southwest comer of the site. Details of the detention pond are summarized in the table.

F. Water Quality System - The BMP for storm water quality is the use of the Basic
Water Quality Resource Menu. The most appropriate solution for this site was a storm
water wet pond incorporated into the detention facility.
SECTION 5 CONVEYANCE SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Detailed calculations for pipe sizing will are attached.
SECTION 6 SPECIAL REPORTS AND STUDIES
No special studies have been prepared for this project.
SECTION 7 BASIN AND COMMUNITY PLANNING AREAS
There are no specific drainage development conditions that apply to this project.
North Lake Pointe Subdivision, Federal Way, WA
SECTION 8 OTHER PERMITS
Construction of the road and drainage improvements require approval prior to
construction. Construction of the single family residences will require separate building
permits. A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit is required
for this project. This permit is obtained from Washington State Department of Ecology.
There are no other permits that are required for this project.
SECTION 9 EROSION/SEDIMENTATION CONTROLS
As part of the construction process, the entire subdivision will be cleared and regraded.
This regrading includes the lots and the alignment of the roadways. It is proposed to
construct the subdivision detention and water quality pond as part of the ESC/grading
improvements. An additional sedimentation pond is proposed along the easterly
boundary of the plat as required to intercept runoff until the permanent facilities are
constructed. Detailed calculations for the ESC system are attached.

In this analysis we have paid special attention to the
following:
· Pathways that require students to cross the fe\vest number
of streets to reduce vehicle-pedestrian exposures.
· Pathways that allow students to walk on the sidewalk or
paths where available.
· Pathways that allow students to walk the shortest possible
distance on streets without sidewalks or wide shoulders.
· Pathways that allow students to walk on the left side of
the street facing traffic on streets where practicable.
· Pathways that avoid high speed, high volume roads and
roads with high truck volume.
· Pathways that make use of protective techniques (traffic
control devises, existing crossing guards, and school
patro Is).
· Pathways that make use of easements with walk'rvays
through parks or other available areas \vhere student
safety is maximized. Walkways must be cleared of
vegetation for maximum visibility.
Our analysis includes the following information, where
available:
· School location
· Description of sidewalk, pedestrian paths and shoulders,
including:
· Condition and width of shoulder and sidewalk.
· Whether shoulders are paved, gravel or grass or oon-
existen t.
· Whether sidewalks and shoulders are immediately
adjacent to traffic lanes or are separated by a planting
strip or other means from moving traffic and
· The location of drainage or irrigation ditches.
· Location of all crosswalks, including type of crossing
protection offered.
· Medians, pedestrian refuge islands and other pedestrian
safety features.
· Posted speed I imits and warning signs and especially all
20 mph speeds limit zones.
· All stop and yield signs
· Traffic signals, including presence of marked sidewalk
and pedestrian signal indication. Traffic signal and
phasing for pedestrian crossing.
· Bicycle lanes or paths.
· Other relevant pedestrian safety factors observed.

conclusion that the proposal would not result in probable significant adverse impacts on the
environment.
No comments or appeals on the SEP A decision were submitted to the City.
IV. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
A. Soils - The 1973 King County soils survey map lists the soils type as Alderwood Gravelly Sandy
Loam (AgB). Alderwood soils are characterized as moderately wen drained soils that have a
weakly consolidated to strongly consolidated substratum at a depth of 24 - 40 inches. AgB soils
are described as capable for urban development, runoff is slow, and erosion hazard is slight.
Typical soils excavation will occur with the street construction, at the site of the proposed on-site
water quality treatment facility, and for utility installation. The preliminary clearing and grading

~2"-
plan depicts clearing limits for construction of the following facilities: street right-of-way, surface
water pond, demolition of existing structures, and utility development.
B. Topography - Rykels Engineering Group, Inc., has prepared a conceptual storm drainage analysis
for the project (December 29, 2006, Exhibit 8). The soils characteristics are described in detail in
the report.
The City of Federal Way Environmentally Sensitive Areas Map does not reveal this site to be in a
problem area relative to landslide, seismic hazard, erosion, steep slope hazards, or toO-year flood
plain.
C. Vegetation - The site is currently partially wooded with patches of grassy fields. A mixture of
conifer and deciduous trees reside on the property. A tree survey (Exhibit l) was submitted with
the application as part of the required landscape plan.
There are a total of 66 significant trees on the subject property. The applicant has proposed to
remove 18 of these trees from the interior of the site for infrastructure. Pursuant to FWCC Section
22-1568, no tree replacement is required. City policy and FWCC Section 20-179 state that
existing mature vegetation shall be retained to the maximum extent possible. Retained significant
trees outside of open space areas would be regulated under FWCC Section 22-1568, "Significant
Trees," at the time of individual home construction.
D. Wetlands - There are no wetlands on-site or within 200 feet of the subject property. No wetlands
or surface waters are known to exist on or around the property, and no wetlands or streams are
identified on the City's environmentally sensitive areas maps.
E. Wildlife and Habitat - No wildlife species recognized as priority species are known to inhabit the
site, or the nearby vicinity.
v. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS
Vicinity - The property is situated in the southeastern portion of the City, in a single-family
residential area with RS 9.6 zoning encompassing the subject property. The site is currently
developed with two single-family homes and accessory structures. One ofthe single-family homes
will be demolished or remodeled as part of the development, and the other home preserved. The
surrounding properties are developed with single-family homes. The land to the north and east of the
subject site is developed as the cluster subdivision known as Northlake Ridge (RS9.6); the average lot
size in this cluster subdivision is approximately 5,000 square feet. The property directly south of the
subject site is dedicated open space and a part of the North Lake Shore Lands. The properties to the
west of the subject site is developed single-family properties known as the North Lake Shore Lands.
VI. GENERAL DESIGN
A. Density and Lot Size - Pursuant to FWCC Section 20-153, all lots in conventional subdivisions
shall meet the density and minimum lot size requirements-in this instance, 9,600 square feet per
lot. The proposed 12 lots each meet this minimum size.

Staff Report to the FedetaL W~ Hl:llring PYllminp.l.
File #06-106495-OO-SU I Doc. J.D. 42589
~
B. Lot Layout - With the exception oflots 4 and 5, all of the proposed lots are of rectangular shape.
Lots 1 and 2 have direct access to South 33200 Place. Lots 3,4,5, and 6 have access to 39th Place
South through a shared private access tract dubbed "Tract B." Lots 7 through 12 all have direct
access to South 333rd Place (which turns into 39th Place South through the middle of the
development). All building setback lines (BSBL) are depicted on the preliminary plat map, and
each lot contains an adequate building area. A 30-foot wide utilities and access easement running
east to west on the northern portion of the subject property in the right-of-way (transecting Lot 6)
currently exists. The applicant will be required to vacate this easement prior to final plat approval.
C. Open Space - To provide adequate recreational opportunities commensurate with new residential
development, FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions," requires setting aside land on-site for open
space, or a fee-in-lieu payment. The applicant has proposed the fee-in-lieu option rather than
providing on-site open space. The fee-in-lieu of open space shall be calculated on 15 percent of
the assessed value of the property based on an assessment that is no more than one year old at the
time of final plat submittal. In the absence of an assessment, the market value shall be based on
an appraisal conducted by a MAl certified appraiser or another professional appraiser approved
by the Parks Director. Again, the appraisal shall be no more than one year old at the time of final
plat submittal.
D. Subdivision Access and Roadway System - Access to the site is via South 332nd Place and 39th
Place South (both streets yet to be developed) off of 38th A venue South and South 333rd Place
respectively; both streets are existing minor collector streets. Section VII of this report provides a
detailed description of the proposed roadway system and improvements.
E. Pedestrian System - A sidewalk will be provided along the length of South 3320d Place and South
333rd Place. Specifically, half street improvements include a four-foot wide planter strip, five-foot
wide sidewalk, and three-foot wide utility strip. The Federal Way School District has reviewed
the plans and do not have any comments regarding school access paths or configuration.
F. 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, and screening of the storm drainage tract will contribute to
visual buffering. Street tree requirements are described in Section VII-A of this report.
VII. TRANSPORTATION
A. Street Improvements - With the exception of lots 4 and 5, all of the proposed lots are of
rectangular shape. Lots 1 and 2 have direct access to South 332nd Place. Lots 2,3,4, and 5 have
access to 39th Place South through a shared private access tract "Tract R" Lots 6 through 12 all
have direct access to South 333rd Place (which turns into 39th Place South through the middle of
the development). The City's Traffic Engineer has reviewed the project and concluded that the
proposed street layout of the North Lake Pointe subdivision is consistent with the adopted codes
and comprehensive plan in place at the time of the complete application.
The northerly plat road connection to 38th Avenue South (shown as South 332nd Place on the
plans), shall be constructed as follows: a 20-foot paved roadway with curb and gutter along the
north margin, a four-foot planter strip with street trees, five-foot sidewalk, and a three-foot utility
strip with streetlights, all within a 32-foot right of way.

~+
The remaining interior plat road (shown as 39th Place South/South 333rd Place on the plans) shall
be constructed to City standard roadway section "U" as follows: a 32-foot paved roadway, with
curb and gutter, four-foot planter strips with street trees, five-foot sidewalks, and three-foot utility
strips with streetlights, all within a 56-foot right of way.
Street frontage improvements along 38th A venue South shall be constructed to a City standard
Type "S" street section, consisting of a 36-foot street with four-foot planter strip with street trees,
five-foot sidewalks, and three-foot utility strip with streetlights, within a 60-foot right-of-way. The
applicant's engineer needs to verify that a 30-foot right-of-way has been dedicated. Assuming a
symmetrical cross section, frontage improvements are required and should be measured from the
street centerline.
Street lighting is required on all streets, pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1522.
The Public Works Department and South King Fire and Rescue have approved preliminary
roadway design and curve radii as proposed.
B. Off-Site Traffic Mitigation - This proposal has been reviewed under the State Environmental
Policy Act (SEP A). No mitigation for traffic impacts was identified in the SEP A review of the
proposal.
VIII. PUBLIC SERVICES
A. Schools - As part of the City's initial review of the proposal, the preliminary plat application was
referred to the Federal Way School District for comments. Comments from the school district
indicate Lake Dolloff Elementary School, Sequoyah Middle School, and Todd Beamer High
School will serve the proposed subdivision. There is school bus transportation to all three schools.
The proposed walking path from the development will provide safe access to the following bus
stops: bus stop for Lake Dolloff Elementary School is located at 4200 South 308th Street; the bus
stop for Sequoyah Middle school is located at 34155 South 360th Street; the bus stop for Todd
Beamer High School is located at 35999 16th Avenue South. The school district did not indicate
any required improvements in its comments.
B. The applicant provided on July 30, 2007, a School Access Analysis (Exhibit 10). The school
access analysis identifies a safe path of travel for students walking. In summary, a safe route of
school-related pedestrian travel will be provided by existing pedestrian pathways, of on average,
five-foot asphalt walking path next to the driving surface. A full detailed analysis of each
pedestrian pathway to the schools is provided for within the School Access Analysis. It should be
noted however, due to the distance created by the location of the new subdivision and the existing
schools; it is highly unlikely that pedestrian travel will occur with any frequency. Final location
and design ofthe school access path shall be approved by the Federal Way School District and
the Federal Way Public Works Department prior to issuance of construction permits for
infrastructure improvements.
School service areas 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, I 69.00 per single-family housing unit.
School impact fees are determined on the basis of the district's Capital Facilities Plan and are
subject to annual adjustment and update.

C. Parks & Open Space - The applicant has chosen to satisfy the open space requirement of FWCC
Section 20-155 via a fee-in-lieu payment, which is recommended to be approved by the City of
Federal Way Parks Director. The fee-in-lieu of open space payment shall be calculated on 15
percent of the most recent assessed or appraised value of the property.
On-site parks and open space requirements are discussed in Section VI of this report.
D. Fire Protection - The Certificate of Water Availability from the Lakehaven Utility District
indicates that water will be available to the site in sufficient quantity to satisfy fire flow standards
for the proposed development. South King Fire and Rescue requires that a fire hydrant be located
within 350 feet of each lot. The exact number and location of fire hydrants will be reviewed and
approved by South King Fire and Rescue.
IX. UTILITIES
A. Sewage Disposal- The applicant proposes to serve the proposed plat by a public sewer system
managed by Lakehaven Utility District. A July 21,2006 signed, Certificate of Sewer Availability
(Exhibit II) 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 July 21, 2006 signed,
Certificate of Water Availability (Exhibit 12) indicates Lakehaven's capacity to serve the
proposed development. If additional hydrants or other fire protection systems are indicated, a
Development Extension Agreement may be required.
C. Drainage Facilities - Development of the site will create additional runoff from new impervious
surfaces such as streets, driveways, and rooftops. Storm drainage facilities are being designed in
accordance with the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the
City's amendments to the manual. The applicant's December 2006, preliminary Conceptual
Storm Drainage Analysis (Exhibit 13) by Rykels Engineering Group, Inc., was reviewed by the
City's Public Works Department.
The preliminary design proposes to collect and convey stormwater runoff through a series of
pipes and catch basins into a private stormwater detention and water quality treatment facility
located near the southeast portion of the North Lake Pointe site. The stormwater detention and
water quality treatment facility will be located in a separate tract that will be dedicated to the City
at final plat. Access to the facility will be via the existing pond access (Tract H of the plat of
Northlake Ridge) located just east of the proposed North Lake Pointe Pond.
Final review of the stormwater quality and detention pond will occur in conjunction with the plat
improvement engineering plans.

XI. FINDINGS OF FACT
Based on an analysis of the proposed action, environmental record, and related decisional criteria, the
Department of Community Development Services finds that:
1. The proposal includes the subdivision of 3.7 acres into 12 residential single-family lots and a
private stormwater detention facility. An existing single-family home (and all associated _
buildings on site) located in the northwest section of the subject property will be demolished and
another existing single-family home located along the western property line will be retained.
2. The preliminary plat application is subject to the 2003 FWCP, and the codes and regulations in
effect at the time the application was deemed complete, which was January 17,2007.
3. The subject property is designated Single Family - High Density in the 2003 FWCP.
4. An Environmental Determination ofNonsignijicance (DNS) was issued for this proposed action
on August 22,2007. No appeals of the SEPA decision were submitted to the City.
5. Zoning for the site is RS-9.6 (minimum lot size 9,600 square feet). Properties to the north, east,
south, and west of the subject property are also zoned RS 9.6. The proposed residential
subdivision and density is consistent with applicable zoning and subdivision regulations.
6. Pursuant to FWCC Section 20-153, on this 3.7-acre parcel, the maximum number oflots allowed
is 12. The 12 proposed lots comply with applicable density requirements.
7. As proposed, each lot 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.
8. A significant tree survey was submitted with the application. There are a total of 66 significant
trees on the subject property. The applicant has proposed to remove 18 of these trees from the
interior of the site for the engineering phase of the project. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1568,
no tree replacement is required. City policy and FWCC Section 20-179 state that existing mature

SUBJECT:
2008 Planning Commission and Long Range Planning Work Program
MEETING DATE: December 17,2007
A. POLICY QUESTION
How should the 2008 Planning Commission Work Program be prioritized?
B. BACKGROUND
At the beginning of each calendar year, the Planning Commission's Work Program for that year is
approved by the City Council. The purpose ofthis memorandum is to assist the LUTC and City
Council in approving a work program. An update was presented to the Planning Commission on
October 17, 2007, and they recommended for inclusion in the 2008 Work Program an amendment to
Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 18, "Environmental Protection," in order to address carbon
emissions associated with development.
This memorandum includes the following information:
1. 2007 Planning Commission Work Program - Items Completed in 2007 (Section C of this staff report).
2. 2007 Planning Commission Work Program - Items to be carried over into 2008. Work items
started in 2007, but not yet completed (Section D ofthis staff report).
3. Other Long Range Planning Responsibilities. We have included other long-range planning projects
that are not part of the Planning Commission Work Program but are required to be done on an
annual basis by King County or the State of Washington (Section E of this staff report).
( ,
4. 2008 Comprehensive Plan Amendments - This is a list of citizen-initiated comprehensive plan
amendment requests that will be presented to the LUTC on February 4, 2008, for a recommendation
to the City Council on which ones should be selected for further study (Section F of this staff report).
5. Recommended Prioritization of Code Amendments for 2008 - This is a list of potential code
amendments to be included as part of the 2008 Planning Commission Work Program. Since there
are more amendments on the list than can be completed by staff during 2008, we have organized
them by High, Medium, and Low Priority in an attempt to assist you in prioritizing them (Section
G of this staff report). A staff recommendation is presented in Section I of this staffreport.
6. Other Long Range Work (Addendum and Supplement to the Planned Action SEPA) is described
in Section H of this staff report.
7. Exhibit A - This is a list of potential code amendments that staff has been adding to over the years
but have been unable to work on due to them not being a high enough priority or based on staff
workload.
C. 2007 PLANNING COMMISSION WORK PROGRAM - ITEMS COMPLETED IN 2007
The following is a list of items completed in 2007.
1. Flag Lots - Amended the zoning code to clarify how flag lots should be regulated.
2. 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendments - Seven site-specific requests were approved. In addition,
various chapters of the comprehensive plan were amended to address the BPIBC code
amendments (see below). The BPIBC comprehensive map amendment also altered the boundaries
of the Community Business (BC) and former Business Park (BP) zone and created a new
Commercial Enterprise (CE) zone.
3. BPIBC Code Amendments - The City adopted a new Commercial Enterprise (CE) zoning district,
which is based on the BP designation with expanded uses.
4. Height Increase - Allowed increased building heights for certain uses in the BC zone.
5. Housing - Allowed single-family units (small lot detached development) and zero-lot line
townhouse development in multifamily zones.
6. Increased Short Plat and SEP A Thresholds - Amended FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions," to
increase the maximum number oflots in a short plat from four to nine lots. Amended FWCC
Chapter 18, "Environmental Protection," to increase the SEP A residential categorical exemption
threshold from four to nine lots and from four to nine residential units.
7. 2005-2007 Shoreline Master Program Update - The City updated the Shoreline Master Program
(SMP). The SMP provides policy guidance and land use regulations for shoreline areas and
adjacent upland areas within 200 feet of the shoreline within the City.l
1 Staff completed the Master Program Update. It has been submitted to the Department of Ecology for their review and approval.

8. Shoreline Stringline Setback - Amended FWCC Chapter 18, Article III, to add flexibility in
measuring the shoreline stringline setback. This is being addressed as part of the SMP update. I
D. 2007 PLANNING COMMISSION WORK PROGRAM -ITEMS TO BE CARRIED OVER INTO 2008
The following two amendments are part of the 2007 Planning Commission Work Program that were
started in 2007, but are not yet completed. Work on these amendments will continue in 2008:
1. Significant Trees, Vegetation Retention, Clearing and Grading - This involves a review of and
amendment to the current City of Federal Way zoning and subdivision code requirements related
to the preservation of significant trees, vegetation retention, and site grading. Staff has conducted
two study sessions with the Planning Commission to date. The next step is to invite developers,
representatives from the Master Builders Association, Friends of the Hylebos, Puget Sound
Energy, Bonneville Power Administration, and interested citizens to a Planning Commission Study
Session. This study session is scheduled for January 16,2008.
2. South 356th Subarea Plan - This is a study to determine whether the Single-Family Residential
(RS) 15.0 designated parcels located south of SW 356th Street and west of 1 st Avenue South
should be considered for higher density. Potential impacts on drainage and traffic associated with
increased density are being evaluated. The next step is to ,brief the LUTC on these findings. This
briefing is scheduled for February 4, 2008.
E. OTHER LONG RANGE PLANNING RESPONSIBILITIES
The following table shows reporting or monitoring work required by King County or the State of
Washington to be done on an annual basis. This is not part of the Planning Commission Work Program.

F. 2008 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS
The City accepts applications on a yearly basis for amendments to the Federal Way Comprehensive
Plan (FWCP) text and map. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-523, after the September 30th deadline for
accepting applications, the City Council shall hold a public hearing and select those amendment
requests it wishes to move to the Planning Commission for further consideration. It is the City's
practice that all City business be presented to a Council committee, in this case the Land Use/
Transportation Committee (LUTe), before Council deliberation.
The following is a list of citizen-initiated comprehensive plan amendment requests that will be
presented to the LUTC on February 4, 2008, for a recommendation to the City Council on which ones
should be selected for further study:
1. Request from Mr. Un-Ha Shin to change the comprehensive plan designation and zoning of two
parcels totaling 5.01 acres located east of Pacific Highway South at approximately the 27700 block
and directly east of the Silver Shadow apartment complex, from Single Family High Density and
RS 7.2 (one unit per 7,200 square feet) to Multi-Family and Multifamily Residential (RM 2400-
one unit per 2,400 square feet).
2. Request from Federal Way Village LLC (developer of the Federal Way Village project at Kitts
Comer) to change the comprehensive plan designation and zoning of 1.53 acres located at 33901
Pacific Highway South, from Multi-Family and Multifamily Residential (RM 2400 - one unit per
2,400 square feet) to Community Business and BC zoning.
3. Request from Ms. Trinh Nguyen to change the comprehensive plan designation and zoning of two
lots totaling 0.3 acres located at the southwest comer of the intersection of South 288th Street and
18th Avenue South, from Multi-Family and Multifamily Residential (RM 3600 - one unit per
3,600 square feet) to Community Business and BC zoning.
4. Request from Mr. Peter J. Koszarek to change the comprehensive plan designation and zoning of the
northern portion of a 19.86 acre-parcel located south and west of 21 st Avenue SW and directly south
of the Lakota Palisades I and Lakota Ridge subdivisions, from Single-Family Medium Density and
RS 15.0 (one unit per 15,000 square feet) to Neighborhood Business and BN zoning.
5. Request from Mr. Robert Velasco to change the comprehensive plan designation and zoning of
0.75 acres located at the northwestern comer of Hoyt Road SW and SW 340th Street from Single-
Family High Density Residential and RS 9.6 (one unit per 9,600 square feet) to Neighborhood
Business and BN zoning.
G. RECOMMENDED PRIORITIZATION OF CODE AMENDMENTS FOR 2008
The following is a list of potential code amendments to be included as part of the 2008 Planning
Commission Work Program. Since there are more amendments on the list than can be completed by
staff during 2008, we have organized them by High, Medium, and Low Priority, in an attempt to assist
you in prioritizing them.

High Priority
1. Amendment to increase the maximum allowable height in the City Center-Core (CC-C) and City
Center -Frame (CC-F).
2. Amendment related to the 120-foot maximum fa~ade length requirement of the Community Design
Guidelines.
3. Amendment to consider reducing how open space requirements are met in the CC-C and CC-F
zones.
4. Amendment to delete the maximum allowable density for senior housing in the Community
Business (Be) zone. This is a citizen-initiated request; however, it is one that would have been
initiated by staff in the absence of being initiated by a citizen.
5. Amendment to FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions," and Chapter 22, "Zoning," to incorporate Low
Impact Development (LID) Techniques. Whether this remains a high priority depends upon
obtaining technical assistance from the Puget Sound Partnership. A determination as to whether
the City is successful in obtaining this assistance should be received by the end of 2007.
6. Amendment to allow home occupation day cares in an existing residential dwelling in commercial
zones. This amendment is required to comply with state law.
7. Amendment to allow the Director of Community Development Services the flexibility to determine
the allowable hours of construction on a case-by-case basis.
8. Amendment to adopt regulations allowing storage containers in non-residential and/or residential
zones.
Medium Priority
1. Amendment to FWCC Chapter 18, "Environmental Protection," to address carbon emissions.
2. Amendment related to development standards for adult family homes.
3. Amendment related to revising the Community Design Guidelines. It has been II years since the
Community Design Guidelines were first adopted and it may be time to revisit them.
4. Amendment related to maximum lot coverage for single-family development.
5. Amendment to regulate the size of secondary/accessory buildings and to clarify how the size of an
accessory dwelling unit (ADD) is calculated.
6. Amendment to adopt an approval process and criteria to locate heliports.
7. Amendment related to allowing churches in all zones. Currently, churches are allowed in all
residential zones and the Community Business (BC), City Center-Core (CC-C) and City Center-
Frame (CC-F) zones, but not in the Professional Office (PO), Neighborhood Business (BN),
Commercial Enterprise (CE), or Office Park (OP) zones.
8. Amendment to allow increased building heights for certain uses in the Neighborhood Business
(BN) zone and require buildings to be located adjacent to rights-of-way.
9. Amendment to allow increased building heights in the Community Business (BC) zone.
Low Priority
I. Amendment to FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions," to simplify the submittal requirements for plats.
2. Amendment to FWCC Chapter 22, "Zoning," to require design standards and development
requirements for essential public facilities. This is an omission in the current code.
3. Amendment to FWCC Chapter 22, Article XVIII, "Signs," to allow off site signs for special events.
4. Amendment to FWCC Chapter 22, "Zoning," to require applicants to hold traffic-related
neighborhood meetings, when necessary, related to mitigation of traffic impacts.
5. Amendment to FWCC Section 22-952 pertaining to "Junk and Junk Yards" in order to clarify
what constitutes junk, particularly on developed lots.
Land Use/Transportation Committee (LUTC) Staff Report
2008 Planning Commission and Long Range Planning Work Program
Meeting Date: December 17, 2007
Page 5
6. Amendment to make FWCC Chapter 22, Article N, "Nonconformance," and Article XVI,
"Improvements," consistent pertaining to who is authorized to conduct an appraisal of property.
7. Amendment related to revising the process for permitting cell towers and wireless facilities and
their development standards. It has been 10 years since the regulations were first adopted and it
may be time to revisit them.
H. OTHER LONG RANGE WORK
Recent proposals for residential development in the Planned Action EIS area have exceeded
assumptions. In addition, the City is anticipating even more residential development in that area based
on recent inquiries. Therefore, in the short term an addendum to the Planned Action EIS will be
prepared and in the longer term, a Supplemental EIS may have to be prepared. Neither document is
required to be presented to the Planning Commission, LUTC, or City Council. Staff may also be
involved in the preparation of a strategic plan to address how we will use the money from the Lift
Legislation. The City will receive up to $30 million over 20 years. This money can be used to construct
grid streets, parks, and structured parking in the downtown. It is unclear at this time whether the
Planning Commission will be involved.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the code amendments to be included in the 2008 Planning Commission Work
Program be those listed under "High Priority" in Section G of this staff report. As in the past, it is the
staffs intention to complete the adopted work program by the end of the calendar year; however, some
items may have to be carried over to the 2009 Work Program if we are unable to complete them in 2008.
J. COMMITTEE OPTIONS
The LUTC and/or City Council may add additional items to the 2008 Planning Commission Work
Program, or may modify the priority order recommended by staff. Staff can work with the LUTC to re-
prioritize the list at the December 17th LUTC meeting, or come back to your next meeting with a
prioritized list.
K. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Forward the LUTC recommendation to the
, 2008, City Council Consent Agenda.

LIST OF CODE AMENDMENTS
CHAPTER 18 -- ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Page Section/Title Explanation of ProblemlRational for Change
18-8 18-51(a) & (b) Amend the SEP A appeal process from Process IV to Process III. Process
IV doesn't work well for an appeal (e.g. decisional criteria doesn't work;
traditional 1724 processing is awkward). Also, clarify the process for
different types of SEP A appeals.
CHAPTER 20 -- SUBDIVISIONS
Page Section/Title Explanation of ProblemlRational for Change
NA Subdivisions in general Add provisions for plat corrections. These provisions would be for fixing
minor typographicaVscrivners errors on recorded plats. We have had
several recent requests and needs for these types of plat fixes. See
document in Silverwood folder 01-1031 04-00-SU. King County has plat
correction code provisions I have used as a guideline, see KCC 19A.08.120.
20 Preliminary plat Add criteria to define a major and a minor change to the preliminary plat.
CHAPTER 22 -- ZONING
Page Section/Title Explanation of ProblemlRational for Change
Codify process and development standards for uses such as a mobile taco
stand or outdoor accessory use that is in place just during working hours.
Consider amending Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) provisions to
eliminate setback requirements for critical areas when separated by an
existing road or other physical barrier of a certain width or type.
22-21 22-33 Development application submittal requirements... (b) Contents... (8)
Eight complete and bound sets of drawings...
This section requests elevations, but does not request floor plans. We need
to add "floor plans" to the list of required items because it is impossible to
understand elevations without the corresponding floor plans.
For site plans, we need "existing site plan" and "proposed site plan" in
order to determine what is being changed. We also need "existing" and
"proposed" for building elevations and floor plans.
22-42 22-351 Add provisions for an expiration period for Process I Director's Approval.

22-44.1 22-365 Process II Process II approval criteria list only some things from the design guidelines.
approval criteria For example, it lists 1634, but not 1635. I think it should simply say, "(c)
Community design guideline decisional criteria" and stop there. Here is the
excerpt:
22-45 Process II Add provisions for an expiration period for Process II Site Plan Review.
22-65 22-488( c)(1)(b) These two principal criteria are too limiting for making a rezone decision.
Add additional criteria-call Municipal Research to get other rezone
criteria examples.
22-75 22-552 This code section allows for a 60 day temp use permit, with the possibility
for an additional 60 days for a total of 120 days. However, Chapter 9 states
that temporary business registrations are only issued for a maximum of 90
days without the possibility of an extension. These two duration periods
should be coordinated one way or the other.
Various Various Modify temporary use, outdoor activity exemptions for certain temporary
uses, and temporary business registration provisions for consistency. Need
to allow a broader range of temporary sales particularly by zone (e.g.
pedestrian type sales in the city center; non-profit sales; school activities
such as food sales at football games).
22-85, 22-601, Various The current development regulations governing church uses are unable to
Various accommodate the modem day church facility/campus. Modem churches
now have large secondary schools, daycares, youth services, and large
office buildings on site. The current development regulations do not
contemplate the mixed use nature of the modem church campus in terms of
setbacks, heights, use process, etc.
22-249 22-967(5), PWSF 22-967(5), Standards for electronics equipment enclosures, lists the
following as priority #3: "Equipment enclosures shall be placed above
ground in an enclosed cabinet that shall not exceed six feet in height and
occupy more than 48 square feet of floor area, including areas for
maintenance or future expansion." This is becoming a problem because
many proposals are calling for cabinets up to 7"6". One proponent has said
that the manufacturer does not make that type of cabinet shorter, so they are
proposing to build shed enclosures instead. However, a shed is more bulky
and intrusive than a cabinet. Also, some of these sites are already developed
with multiple carrier cabinets in a fenced enclosure, in which case building
a shed for one carrier does not make sense. Proposed solution: Change the
code to state, "shall not exceed eight feet."
22-259 22-1093 Consider adding new Land Surface Modification (LSM) exemption criteria
(it would be #14) that would state that those noxious weeds, as identified on
the Washington State Noxious Weed List, which are designated (which
means the state requires their removal) are permitted to be removed
outright. Those noxious weeds that are identified by the state but not
designated for removal can be permitted to be removed with director's
approval looking at scope and scale of removal, and potential need for
remediation of disturbed area.

22-269 22-1248, Critical areas Homeowners who wish to add small additions or decks to their houses often
exemptions face a major obstacle if the existing house was built in part of a critical area,
such as a steep slope or stream buffer. The only provision of the code for
allowing them to build an addition is a costly and time-consuming Process
IV with the hearing examiner. Other cities have critical area exemptions for
minor improvements in order to avoid situations like this. These
exemptions could also apply to commercial and mixed-use projects.
22-296 22-1564(i) Code gives measurements for "small shrubs," "medium shrubs," and "large
shrubs" but nowhere in the code is landscaping described as either "small"
or "medium" - only "large." Perhaps we could simply say, "Shrubs in
Type I, II and III landscaping shall be a minimum of 24 inches in height,
shrubs in Type IV landscaping shall be a minimum of 12 inches in height."
22-299 22-1564 Need to clarify which requirement supersedes when there is a conflict
between setbacks/required yards and landscaping requirements.
22-299 22-1566(c) Need to clarify landscaping requirements for single family uses in the
Multifamily Residential (RM) zone.
22-1568(c)(I)(g) and One section requires a 12-foot replacement tree and the other requires a 10-
(c)(5)(b) foot replacement tree. Is there a good reason for the different standards?
22-325 22-1634 and 22-1635 The design guidelines could use some revision and clarity overall. One
thing that might help would be to combine the site design section with the
building design section, because some things listed under "site design"
apply to building design. For example: 22-1634(4), "Project designers shall
strive for overall design continuity by using similar elements throughout the
project such as architectural style and features, materials, colors, and
textures." This is something that could apply, even ifthere is just one
building on the site.
22-328 22-1635 Add a standard for screening exposed rooftop mechanical units with both
new construction and remodels. This will provide a basis to require that
pre-existing, ugly rooftop units are screened as part of major facelifts (as
"reasonably related" to the remodeling).
ESA section Delete reasonable use criteria from various Environmentally Sensitive Area
modification sections. Consider using the SEP A approach as criteria that
uses a priority order of avoidance, minimizing impacts, mitigation, etc.
Various Principally 22- Separate single-family parking and driveway regulations into separate
1135(1)(a); and subsections; preclude driveways and parking from required side yards with
1134,1403, 1453, and modification provisions and decisional criteria (e.g. constraints, access to
1424 principal parking area! structure, use rights and privileges like others).
Various Chapter 22, Article Create administrative review processes for rehabilitation activities within
XIV, ESA all ESA's buffer areas. Refer to stream and wetland rehabilitation
provisions as examples.
Unknown Create new provisions to allow a second kitchen area in single-family
homes under certain conditions without triggering Accessory Dwelling Unit
(ADD) provisions.
