Jail Services through February is $103K and is above the year-to-date budget estimate of $10K by $92K. The City currently
uses City of Fife, City of Enumclaw, King County, and Yakima County for Jail Services. The negative variance is due to
timing of payments in 2008 compared to 2009. January invoices for each of these vendors in 2008 were not received and paid
for until April 2008 as oppose to received and paid for in February of 2009. The adjusted variance when the timing difference
is taken into consideration would be positive variance of $52K or 34%.

increases in supplies when compared to 2008's spending patterns.
Excluding probation through February revenue is down $4K or 1.8% compared to year-to-date 2008. When probation is
included, the decrease is $12K or 4.6%. The decrease is mainly due to the decrease in Probation Services revenues, which
decreased $7K from 2008 due to less referral to probation. Total filings year-to-date in February 2008 was 3,150 and in 2009
was 3,579; an increase of 429 or 13.6%.

one-time monies ($60K) for Public Defender compared to 2008's spending patterns.

miscellaneous line items.
Law year-to-date expenditures total $212K and is $9K below estimates mainly due to savings found in charges for services

CASH & INVESTMENTS
Overall investment interest year-to-date through February 2008 compared to year-to-date through February 2009 decreased by
$108K. The unfavorable variance is due to the decrease in interest rates for the overall market. The interest rates have
decreased from February 2008 to February 2009 from 3.63% to 1.30%.

DATE: 2/512009
TO: Neal Beets, City Manager
FROM: Scott Pingel, lCMA Fellow
SUBJECT: Public Defense Standards Ordinance
The City of Federal Way was recently awarded a $20,000 grant from the Washington State
Office of Public Defense to help improve public defense services. One of the requirements for
accepting grant funds is to adopt standards for the delivery of public defense services. City staff
plan to use the grant funds to help support public defender compensation and to defray the
expense of having the public defender present at arraigrunent calendars.
The Public Defense Standards Ordinance as drafted is based on State statutory requirements,
State Bar gUidelines, and existing practice. It ensures that indigent criminal defendants receive
high quality, professional legal representation. It requires that public defenders have the
appropriate training, skills and experience necessary to provide public defense services, and that
, they keep up on their skills through continuing legal education courses. They must satisfy aU
requirements for practicing law in the State of Washington as determined by the Washington
Supreme Court, and in a manner consistent with the Rules of Professional Conduct.
)
This ordinance also requires that public defenders be reasonably compensated for the services
they provide, which is normally accomplished through the contract negotiation process. The
ordinance requires that anticipated case loads in any contract for public defense services provide
the necessary number of attorneys, time and effort to provide effective representation. The
ordinance requires a case reporting and management information system be maintained, which
includes the number of cases, any hours billed, costs or expenses. The City will be required to
determine that an attorney or firm can meet these accepted standards before awarding any new
contracts for public defense services.
This ordinance does not have any negative fiscal impacts on the City; in fact, it only has
positive impacts on the City. By adopting the ordinance, the City can accept the $20,000
grant from the Office of Public Defense. While it is not guaranteed ongoing money, the City
is eligible for and will continue to apply for these grant funds year after year. It is
important to note that the City already meets and exceeds these standards. By adopting the
ordinance we are simply committing ourselves to them. Our current public defender
contract and conflict attorney contracts are more stringent than the ordinance. Both the
current Contract Public Defender and the City Prosecutor have had a chance to review and
comment on the proposed ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FEDERAL WAY, WASHINGTON, ESTABLISHING STANDARDS FOR
PUBLIC DEFENSE, ADDING A NEW CHAPTER TO THE FEDERAL
WAY REVISED CODE.
WHEREAS, RCW 10.101.030 requires the City of Federal Way ("City") to adopt
standards for the delivery of public defense services; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to adopt public defense service standards which reflect the
needs of the City;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. A new chapter is added to Title 2, of the Federal Way Revised Code to read as
follows:
2.38.020 Standards for Public Defense
To ensure that indigent criminal defendants receive high quality Legal representation through
a public defense system that efficiently and effectively protects the constitutional requirement of
effective assistance of counseL. the City adopts the standards in this chapter for the delivery of
public defense services.
2.38.030 Definitions.
"Public defender" means an attorney providing indigent public defense services.
"Public defense" means legal representation of indigent defendants in criminal cases.
2.38.040 Professional practices and qualifications.
Public defenders shall have the requisite training, skill, and experience necessary to provide
public defense services; shall be appropriately accredited and licensed by all applicable agencies
and governmental entities; shall satisfy the minimum requirements for practicing law in
Washington as detennined by the Washington Supreme Court; should be familiar with the law
and practice relevant to their practice area; should be familiar with the consequences of a
conviction; and should follow these standards. Legal interns working for a public defender must
meet the requirements set out by the State Bar Association and be properly supervised by a
public defender. Public defense services shall be provided to all clients in a professionaL. skilled
manner in a manner consistent with the accepted professional practices for other similar services
within the Pu~et Sound region and consistent with the Rules of Professional Conduct, case law.
Ordinance No.09-
Page 10f5
and applicable court rules defining the duties of counsel and the rights of defendants in criminal
cases. Public defenders shall maintain appropriate malpractice insurance policies. A public
defender's primary and most fundamental responsibility is to promote and protect the best
interests of the client.
2.38.050 Compensation.
Public defender compensation shall normally be established through the negotiation of
contracts for public defense services. The total compensation package shall be at a reasonable
level given the customary compensation within the community for similar services rendered by
other publicly paid attorneys to a public client. The total compensation package should take into
consideration the public defender's training and experience. the nature and extent of services
requested. as well as the time and labor required of the attorney undertaking the services. The
total compensation package should take into consideration the following costs and expenditures
where they are related to public defense: possible appeal costs: post-conviction costs: reasonable
expert witnesses necessary to preparation and presentation of a case; reasonable investigator
expenses necessary to preparation and presentation of a case: administrative costs; support
services; possible extraordinary costs; and other reasonable. customary. and actual expenses that
are incurred in performing non-routine public defense services. Attorneys who have a conflict of
interest should not have to compensate any substituted attorney out of their own funds.
2.38.060 Caseload.
Case loads anticipated in a contract for public defender services should allow each client the
time and effort necessary to ensure effective representation. Anticipated caseloads should take
into account both the number and tyPes of cases anticipated. charging practices. plea bargaining
practices. and case handling practices including diversions and other administrative procedures
in use or expected to be used. Public defenders should not accept more cases than can be
reasonably managed. Private attorneys who provide public defense services as a portion of their
practice should dedicate a sufficient amount of time to their public defense caseload based on the
percentage of a full-time caseload which the public defense cases represent.
2.38.070 Reports of attorney activity.
Public defenders should maintain a case reporting and management information system
which includes number of cases and any hours billed. costs. or expenses. This information
should be provided regularly to the City and should be available to the Office of the
Administrator of the Courts. Any such system shall be maintained independently from client files
so as not to disclose confidential information.
2.38.080 Supervision and traininl!.
Public defenders should attend training approved by the office of public defense at least once
per calendar year, including a minimum of seven hours of continuing legal education annually in
areas relating to their public defense practice. Every public defender should have the opportunity
to attend courses that foster trial advocacy skills and to review professional publications and
tapes. The performance of public defenders should be monitored and evaluated based upon
compliance with these standards. Supervision and evaluation efforts should include relevant
information and contacts.
Ordinance No.09-
Page 20f5
2.38.090 Disposition of client complaints. .
Each agency, firm, or individual attorney providing public defense services shall have a
method to respond promptly to client complaints. Complaints should first be directed to the
attorney, firm, or agency which provided representation. The complaining client should be
informed as to the disposition of his or her complaint within one week if an investigation is
concluded. If additional attention to an issue is required a complaint may be made to an official
body with jurisdiction over the matter or to the City's contract administrator to evaluate the
legitimacy of the complaint and to follow up on any meritorious ones.
2.38.100 Substitution of attorneys or assifnment of contracts.
A public defender should not sub-contract with another firm or attorney to provide
representation without ensuring that any attorney providing public defender services comply
with these standards. A firm or office providing public defense services should provide the
names and experience levels of those attorneys who will actually be providing the services to the
City. The employment agreement should address the procedures for continuing representation of
clients upon the conclusion of the agreement. Alternate or conflict counsel should be available
for substitution in conflict situations at no cost to the counsel declaring the conflict. Public
defenders should maintain a written policy explaining how a conflict of interest is defined, and
identify conflicts as Quickly as possible.
2.38.110 Public Defense Contracts.
(1) The City should award new contracts for public defense services only after determining
that the attorney or firm chosen can meet accepted standards. Under no circumstances should a
contract be awarded on the basis of cost alone. At least one attorney in a finn bidding for a
public defense contract should have at least one year of trial experience. Attorneys or firms
bidding for contracts must demonstrate their ability to meet these standards. The City Attorney
should not select the attorneys who will provide public defense services.
(2) Neither the City, in its selection of an attorney, firm, or agency to provide public defense
representation, nor the attorneys selected, in their hiring practices or in their representation of
clients, shall discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, national origin, age, marital
status, gender, sexual orientation or disability. Both the City and the public defender shall
comply with all federaL state, and local non-discrimination requirements.
(3) Contracts for public defense services shall include grounds for termination of the contract
by the parties. Termination of a provider's contract should only be for good cause. Good cause
includes the failure of an attorney to render adequate representation to clients; the willful
disregard of the rights and best interests of a client; and the willful disregard of these standards.
SECTION 2. Severability. Should any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, or
phrase of this chapter, or its application to any person or situation, be declared unconstitutional
or invalid for any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of
this chapter or its application to any other person or situation. The City Council of the City of

MEETING DATE: April 7, 2009
Subsequent to the March 17 City Council First Reading of the above-referenced Ordinance, it was
brought to staff's attention that there was a scrivener's error on page 52 of Exhibit A.
The error was that certain text on page 52 of Exhibit A was not shown with an underline designation. The
underline designation was inadvertently removed sometime after the proposed code amendments were
submitted to the Planning Commission and prior to being submitted to the City Council.
The corrected page 52 is attached as Exhibit A to this Memorandum.
The City Council is being asked to accept the corrected page 52 and move to adopt the Clearing, Grading
and Tree and Vegetation Retention Code Amendment via the following motion:
"1 move approval of the L UTC 's recommendation to approve the Clearing, Grading and Tree
and Vegetation code amendments, which are attached as Exhibit A to the Adoption Ordinance,
with corrected page 52 as shown in Exhibit A attached to this Memorandum. "

SUBJECT:
Clearing, Grading, and Tree and Vegetation Retention Code Amendments
MEETING DATE: February 23, 2009
A. POLlCY QUESTION
Should the City of Federal Way approve amendments to the FWCC Chapter 20 "Subdivisions"
and Chapter 22, "Zoning" regarding Clearing, Grading, and Tree and Vegetation Retention, and
related amendments?
B. BACKGROUND
Study Sessions with the Planning Commission
The topic oftree preservation, clearing, and grading was initially placed on the Planning Division and
Planning Commission 2007 Work Program. Staff began meeting with the Planning Commission in
study session format in September 2001 and conducted three study sessions on this topic (September
19,2001, November 9,2007, and January 16,2008). The staff reports and minutes of these meetings
are located in a binder in the City Council offices.
The Planning Commission requested that staff invite representatives from the development
community and utility companies and other interested parties to meet with them to provide input on
this topic. Staff developed and maintained a list of interested parties for this code amendment. Those
on the list of interested parties were notified of all meetings and were sent draft versions of the
proposed code amendment.
Briefing Meeting with the LUTC
Staff met with the Land Useffransportation Committee (LUTC) on February 25, 2008, and provided
the committee with an overview of the process to date with the Planning Commission and comments
provided by interested parties.
City Council Committee Staff Report
Clearing, Grading, and Tree and Vegetation Retention Code Amendments
Meeting Date: February 23, 2009
Page I
The LUTC directed staff to proceed with draft code amendments that generally allow for greater
initial c1eanng and grading flexibility, but increase standards for tree replacement; timmg of
development with respect to timing of clearing and grading; and monitoring and penalties for non-
performance and violations.
Coordination with Low fmpact Development (LID) grant.
In 2008, the City of Federal Way received an LID grant from the Puget Sound Partnership. As part of
the work funded by the grant, the City's UD grant technical assistant, AHBL, has provided input
relating to tree/vegetation retention that has been incorporated into the proposed code amendments.
Planning Commission Public Hearing Process
The Planning Commission conducted public hearings on the proposed code amendments on
November 5, 2008, November 19,2008, January 7, 2009, January 21,2009, and February 4,2009.
During these public hearings, the Planning Commission had the opportunity to consider written and
oral testimony from citizens and representatives from the local development community. (Staff
reports and minutes from these meetings are located in a binder in the City Council offices.)
On February 4,2009, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the staff recommended
code amendment with some minor modifications.
One of the modtfications pertained to changing the allowable artificial slope from the staff
recommended limit of 3: I (three feet horizontal for every one foot in rise) to 2: 1 for artificial slopes
with a length no greater than six feet. After the close of the Public Hearing, it was discovered that the
Planning Commission had intended the modification to read "height" instead of "length." Staff is
requesting that the LUTC consider the Planning Commission's intent when taking action on the
proposed code amendment. (Please refer to Section D below for recommended action.)
)
Additional Meetings with Citizens
In addition to the public testimony received by the Planning Commission at each of the public hearing
dates listed above, staff met with representatives of the Master Builders Association on December 2,
2008, to discuss the first draft of the proposed code amendment. On January 23, 2009, staff met with
citizens (primarily single-family homeowners) who had concerns about how the proposed code
amendments would potentially affect them.
Staff made revisions to the draft code amendments in response to the questions and concerns raised at
both of these meetings as well as the comments received during the public hearings. While staff did
not ultimately support all of the changes to the draft code that were proposed throughout the public
review process, staff believes the draft code has been improved substantially in response to the public
input received and that the majority of the identified concerns have been addressed.
C. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CODE AMENDMENTS
Some of the key provisions of the proposed code amendments include:
· Consolidation of existing code sections that deal with clearing and grading, and tree/vegetation
retention into one new article of the zoning code.
City Council Committee Staff Report
Clearing, Grading, and Tree and Vegetation Retention Code Amendments
Meeting Date: February 23, 2009
Page 2
· Clearing, grading, and tree/vegetation retention plans are reviewed and approved in conjunction
with the underlying permit required for the proposed development activity.
· More flexibility in mass grading with an emphasis on results. For example: limits of grading area
may be greater than the area of infrastructure construction. However, there will be greater confrol
on the timing of site clearing with relation to site development, as well as emphasis on less
overall alteration of the natural topography.
· Lot size averaging and cluster development will be allowed for residential subdivisions on sloped
sites in order to reduce disturbance to natural site conditions.
· The existing "significant tree preservation" requirements contained in the "Landscaping" article
of the code are replaced with a "tree units per acre" standard that allows credit for all trees in
good health that can be retained on site.
· Flexibility in meeting tree replacement requirements by allowing off site and/or fee-in-lieu
payment where the development site cannot support the required number of tree units.
· Provisions for protection of on- and off-site vegetation that is to be retained, as well as new code
sections containing maintenance and monitoring provisions for up to two years.
· Specific penalties for unauthorized tree removal/damage.
· Coordination with utilities and written comment is required prior to proceeding with site work.
D. RECOMMENDED AcnON
As noted in Section B above, it was discovered after the official closing of the public hearing that the
Planning Commission's intent was different from that expressed in the motion that was passed. The
staff recommendation below incorporates the Planning Commission's intent as a proposed modification
for consideration by the LUTe.
ST AFF RECOMMENDA nON: Staff recommends adoption of the Planning Commission's
recommendation as shown in Exhibit A to the Draft Adoption Ordinance with the
following modification:
Modify Section 22-XX15(a)(ii) to delete the word "length" aDd replace it with
the word "height."

Now, THEREFORE, mE CITY COUNCIL OF mE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
Section I. Findings. The City Council of the City of Federal Way makes the following findings with
respect to the proposed code amendments.
A. These code amendments are in the best interest of the residents of the City and will benefit the
City as a whole by adding clarity to clearing and grading standards; establishing maximum
retaining wall heights; and establishing minimum tree units per acre standards for tree retention.
B. These code amendments comply with Chapter 36.70A RCW, Growth Management.
C. These code amendments are consistent with the intent and purpose of FWCC C,hapter 22
"Zoning," and will implement and are consistent with the applicable provisions of the Federal
Way Comprehensive Plan.
D. These code amendments bear a substantial relationship to, and will protect and not adversely
affect, the public health, safety, and welfare.
Section 2. Conclusions. Pursuant to FWCC Sections 22-216 and 22-528, and based upon the Findings
set forth in Section I, the Federal Way City Council makes the following Conclusions of Law with
respect to the decisional criteria necessary for the adoption of the proposed amendments:
l. The proposed FWCC text amendments are consistent with, and substantially implement, the
following Federal Way Comprehensive Plan goals and policies:
LUG I Improve the appearance and function of the built environment.
LUG3 Preserve and protect Federal Way's single-family neighborhoods.
LUP6 Conduct regular reviews of the development regulations to determine how to improve
upon the permit review process.
LUPI9 Consider special development techniques (e.g., lot size averaging, cottage housing, and
planned unit developments) in single-family areas, provided they result in residential
development consistent with the quality and character of existing neighborhoods.
Ordinance No.
Page_of_
LUP20 Preserve site characteristics that enhance residential development (trees, water-courses,
vistas, and similar features) using site planning techniques such as clustering, planned unit
developments, and lot size averaging.
HG I Preserve and protect the quality of existing residential neighborhoods and require new
development to be of a scale and design that is compatible with existing neighborhood character.
HP8 Consider the economic impact of all development regulations on the cost of housing.
HP9 Maximize efficiency in the City's development review process and ensure that unnecessary
time delays and expenses are eliminated. Continue to provide streamlined permitting processes
for development that is consistent with the FWCP and FWCC, and that has no adverse impacts.
HP 10 Encourage community input, where appropriate, into the development permit process by
providing thorough and timely information to the public.
HG3 Develop a comprehensive plan and zoning code that provide flexibility to produce
innovative housing solutions, do not burden the cost of housing development and maintenance,
and diversify the range of housing types available in the City.
HP 19 Increase the amount of undeveloped open spaces in both infill and new development
parcels, by expanding the use of cluster development and allowing housing techniques such as lot
averaging, and zero lot line standards.
)
NEG 1 To preserve the City's natural systems in order to protect public health, safety, and
welfare, and to maintain the integrity of the natural environment.
NEP2 Preserve and restore ecological functions, and enhance natural beauty, by encouraging
community development patterns and site planning that maintains and complements natural
landforms.
NEP18 The City shall maintain regulations and standards to cany out the Surface Water
Management Comprehensive Plan's policy of restricting stormwater runoff from all new
development and redevelopment in order to minimize the potential for flooding and stream bank
erosion, and preserve and enhance development and redevelopment. City policies, regulations,
and standards will meet the comprehensive stormwater program requirements of the Puget Sound
Plan, and will comply with NPDES permit requirements as applicable.
CA 13 (Countywide Planning Policy) All jurisdictions shall regulate development on certain
lands to protect public health; property, important ecological and hydrogeological functions, and
environmental quality, and to reduce public costs. The natural features of these lands include: a)
Page _of_
Ordinance No.
Slopes with a grade greater than 40 percent; b) Severe landslide hazard areas; c) Erosion hazard
areas; d) Mine hazard areas; and e) Seismic hazards. Regulations shall include, at a minimum,
provisions for vegetation retention, seasonal clearing and grading limits, setbacks, and drainage
and erosion controls.
NEG9 Adopt standards to ensure against the loss of both public and private property to
geologically hazardous areas.
NEP54 Land uses on steep slopes should be designed to prevent property damage and
environmental degradation, and to enhance open space and wildlife habitat.
NEP55 As slope increases, development intensity, site coverage, and vegetation removal should
decrease and thereby minimize drainage problems, soil erosion, siltation, and landslides. Slopes
of 40 percent or more should be retained in a natural state, free of structures and other land
surface modifications.
PUP16 The City should, to the extent practical, work with utility providers in preparing a right-
of-way vegetation plan that ensures that the needs of landscaping and screening are balanced with
the need to prevent power outages.
2. The proposed FWCC text amendment bears a relationship to the public health, safety, and welfare
because it establishes more prescriptive standards for clearing, grading, and retention of trees and
vegetation during land development activities. Implementation of the code amendments will
result in development that gives better consideration for natural site conditions and greater
amount of tree and vegetation retention on a citywide basis.
And
3. The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the City because site
development proposals will be required to more cohesively address proposed site clearing and
grading, and tree/vegetation retention as part of the permit review process. Proposed standards
related to clearing and grading and utilization of rockeries and retaining walls will be required to
provide for better aesthetic treatment of sites, less dramatic alteration of natural site conditions,
and greater consideration for off-site impacts. All new developments (except for within the City
Center Core and Fame) will be required to establish a minimum number of tree units per acre that
will result in a more predictable amount of tree canopy retention on a citywide basis. Retention of
tree canopy provides an aesthetic and economic benefit, as well as serving to reduce sound
transmission, clean the air, and help reduce stormwater runoff.

Article III, Design Criteria
20-154 Cluster subdivision.
(a) Purpose. The term cluster subdivision applies to both long and short subdivisions. The purpose of
cluster subdivisions is to provide design flexibility, sensitivity to the surrounding environment, and
innovation consistent with the site and the comprehensive plan; promote compatibility with housing on
adjacent properties through lot size and design; promote affordable housing; promote reduction of
impervious surface; aOO promote usable open space; and promote the retention of native vegetation.
(b) Standards.
(I) The gross land area available for cluster subdivisions must be a minimum of two acres.
(2) Lots created in a cluster subdivision may be reduced in size below the minimum required in
Chapter 22 FWCC, up to one-half of the size of the underlying zoning requirement, but in no case smaller
than 5,000 square feet, per lot; provided, that minimum setback requirements are met. This provision
cannot be used together with FWCC 22-976(d)(l) (affordable housing bonus).
(3) When the cluster subdivision abuts a single-family zoned neighborhood, the lots in the
proposed development inunediately adjacent shall be no less than the neighboring lot size, or the
underlying zoning minimum lot size minus to percent, whichever is smaller.

d. Zero lot line development cannot exceed 10 percent of the lots proposed unless it is in a
multifamily zone. .
e. Each unit shall be intended for owner occupancy.
(7) Cluster lots are not eligible for accessory dwelling units under FWCC 22-613 or 22-648.
(c) Approval criteria. The innovative or beneficial overall quality of the proposed development shall

the goals of the comprehensive plan for architectural compatibility with single-family housing on adjacent
properties.
Exhibit A - Proposed Clearing, Grading, and Tree Retention Code Amendments - 02/26/2009
Page 4 of 65
(2) The subdivision results in 15 percent common open space of which at least 10 percent of the
gross land area must be usable on-site open space, which is identified with the development and easily
accessible to residents.

22-XX16 Clearin2 and 2radin2 standards for sites with slopes of 15% or 2reater.
(a) The provisions of this section shall apply to development in areas with slopes of 15% or greater
and with a vertical relief of 6 or more feet and a vertical rise of 6 feet or more for every 40 feet of
horizontal distance. The provisions of this section are intended to specifically promote the following:
(I) Undertake development in a manner that will protect life and property from hazards due to
slope. unstable and erodible soils, earth movement, and other geologic and hydrologic hazards;
(2) Reduce potential for increased erosion, sedimentation, and surface runoff. and the resulting
adverse impacts on water quality;
(3) Promote a safe means of ingress and egress for vehicular and pedestrian traffic in sloped
areas;
(4) Preserve the visual quality of sloped areas, which are a valuable natural and economic
resource; and
(5) Encourage innovative and imaginative site development techniques to create structures and
site plans that are suited to sloped terrain. For example. tuck-under garages and daylight basements are
encouraged to integrate homes into existing topography and minimize grading (see Figure 22-XX).
(b) Sites containing or within 25 feet of slopes of 40% or greater (steep slope hazard area) and/or sites
with erosion, landslide, and/or seismic hazard areas are also subject to the requirements of Article XIV.
Critical Areas.
(c) These standards do not apply to isolated slope areas that are less than 5,000 square feet in land
area. For purposes of this provision, the entire contiguous area with slopes measuring 15% or greater shall
be included in the minimum size calculation regardless of the number of individual lots or different land
ownerships involved.
(d) Residential land divisions on sites with slopes of 15% or greater are encouraged to implement the
following standards in order to minimize clearing and grading necessary to support development on
individual lots.
(l) Lot size averaging may be utilized for residential land divisions on sites that contain areas
with slopes in excess of 15% as well as areas with slopes less than 15% as follows:
(i) More steeply sloped portions of a site shall have larger lots resulting in a reduced
percentage of lot disturbed for construction. In no case shall any lot created with a slope of 15% or greater
be less than the minimum lot size of the underlying zoning district.
(ii) Reduced lot sizes may be allowed within the portions of the site that are less than 15%
slope. Minimum lot size may be reduced to by up to 50% of minimum lot size requirement of the
underlying zoning designation, but in no case less than 5,000 square feet for each single family residential
building lot. and nQ less than 1800 square feet for each small lot single family or zero lot line townhouse
lot.
(iii) The maximum allowable density of the underlying zoning district shall not be exceeded
for the overall development for which lot size averaging is being applied.
(2) As an alternative to. lot size averaging, cluster development may be employed. pursuant to
FWCC 20-154, in order to limit disturbance of sloped areas of a site. Cluster develooment should be
employed where this option will result in successful retention of mature tree canopy and native
vegetation.
(e) Grading plans for residential land divisions shall show that each parcel created by the land
division is a suitable building site and show the following on the plan drawings:
(i) Setbacks;
(ii) Driveways;
(iii) Proposed building envelope; and
(iv) Usable rear yard area a minimum of 10 feet deep.
(f) Front yard setbacks for single family residential development on lots with a slope of 15% or
greater may be applied in a flexible manner where such application will protect slopes and natural
Exhibit A - Propose9 Clearing, Grading, and Tree Retention Code Amendments - 02/26/2009

species. shall be retained on the subiect property to the maximum extent possible in all developments as
follows:
Exhibit A - Proposed Clearing, Grading, and Tree Retention Code Amendments - 02126/2009
Page 37 of65
(I) Site and building development shall take into consideration the location of existing stands of
healthy trees both on site and on adiacent properties. Where safe and feasible, the meandering of streets
and/or sidewalks around existing stands of trees is encouraged.
(2) Minimum Tree Density - New Uses on Vacant or Redeveloping Parcels. The tree density
requirements will be met primarily through the conservation of existing trees. However, in order to
provide for continued flexibility in the design of new development, in those situations where a
development's design would preclude the retention of the required number of trees. the use of
replacement or supplemental tree planting is authorized. The minimum tree density for each land use
designation is specified in Table 22-XX 18.1.
(3) Sites with Insufficient Tree Cover. It is recognized that some sites may not contain a sufficient
number of existing trees to meet the tree density standards set forth in Table 22-XX 18-1. In those
situations, additional trees are to be planted as necessary to achieve the minimum tree density
requirements of this section. Modification of the requirements of this subsection ((a)(3)) may be obtained
under 22-XXX5.
(b) Tree density requirements. All regulated activity shaH ensure that the following tree densities shall
be achieved and maintained during and after development:

by a regulated activity shall be calculated by multiplYing gross site acreage. minus any proposed public or
private streets and regulated critical areas (excluding buffers) determined by Federal Way to be
undesirable for tree planting (e.g., certain wildlife habitat and wetlands). by the required tree density (in
tree units per acre) set forth in Table 22-XXI8.1. The result of the calculation will be the total number of
tree units required for the activity. [fthe calculation results in a fractional quantity. it shall be rounded up
to the next higher whole number.
(d) Tree unit credits. The number of tree unit credits given for retaining existing trees, or the planting
of new trees. varies in order to encourage the retention of large existing trees and the planting of
replacement trees that provide greater canopy areas at maturity. Tree unit credits for the retention of
existing trees and the planting of new trees shall be awarded as follows:
Tree Unit Credits (Table 22-XXI8.2)
Existine Tree Catel!:orv Tree Unit Credit
Existing Tree I" to 6" d.h.h. 1.0 tree units ocr tree retained

applicable subsections of this chapter; and
(3) If the proposed modification will not violate any city of Federal Way City Codes or
ordinances. In particular, a modification shall not be a substitute for any zoning variance; and
(4) Where applicable, the proposed modification would result in an increased retention of
significant trees and/or naturally occurring vegetation on the site;
(5) The proposed modification also satisfies the criteria listed in subsection (b), (c), (d), (e), or (0
of this section.
(c) The width of the perimeter landscaping may be reduced up to 25 percent when: (I) 1\ development
retaills an additional 10 percent of sigaificant trees or 10 significant trees per acre on site, whichever is
greater. (~the proposed landscaped area incorporates a combination of plant materials, berms a
minimum of three feet in height, and architectural elements of appropriate height and scale sufficient to
act as an efficient substitute for the three-foot berm.
(d) The landscaping requirement may be modified when necessary, because of special circumstances

Article XIX, Community Design Guidelines
22-1634 Site design - All zoning districts.
(a) General criteria.
(l) Natural amenities such as views, significant or unique trees, or groupings of trees, creeks,
riparian corridors, and similar features unique to the site should be incorporated into the design.
(2) Pedestrian areas and amenities should be incorporated in the overall site design. Pedestrian
areas include but are not limited to outdoor plazas, arcades, courtyards, seating areas, and amphitheaters.
Pedestrian amenities include but are not limited to outdoor benches, tables and other furniture, balconies,
gazebos, transparent glass at the ground floor, and landscaping. .
(3) Pedestrian areas should be easily seen, accessible, and located to take advantage of
surrounding features such as building entrances, open spaces, significant landscaping, unique topography
or architecture, and solar exposure.
(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.
(5) Place physical features, activities, and people in visible locations to maximize the ability to be
seen, and therefore, discourage crime. For example, place cafes and food kiosks in parks to increase
natural surveillance by park users, and place laundry facilities near play equipment in multiple-family
residential development. A void barriers, such as tall or overgrown landscaping or outbuildings, where
they make it difficult to observe activity.
(6) Provide access control by utilizing physical barriers such as bollards, fences, doorways, etc.,
or by security hardware such as locks, chains, and alarms. Where appropriate, utilize security guards. All
of these methods result in increased effort to commit a crime and, therefore, reduce the potential for it to
happen.
(7) Design buildings and utilize site design that reflects ownership. For example, fences, paving,
art, signs, good maintenance, and landscaping are some physical ways to express ownership. Identifying
intruders is much easier in a well-defined space. An area that looks protected gives the impression that
greater effort is required to conunit a crime. A cared-for environment can also reduce fear of crime. Areas
that are run down and the subject of graffiti and vandalism are generally more intimidating than areas that
do not display such characteristics.
(b) Surface parking lots.
Ex.hibit A - Proposed Clearing, Grading, and Tree Retention Code Amendments - 02/26/2009
Page 54 of 65
(I) Site and landscape design for parking lots are subject to the requirements of Article xvn of
this chapter.
(2) Vehicle turning movements shall be minimized. Parking aisles without loop access are
discouraged. Parking and vehicle circulation areas shall be clearly delineated using directional signage.
(3) Driveways shall be located to be visible from the right-of-way but not impede pedestrian
circulation on-site or to adjoining properties. Driveways should be shared with adjacent properties to
minimize the number of driveways and curb cuts.
(4) Multi-tenant developments with large surface parking lots adjacent to a right-of-way are
encouraged to incorporate retail pads against the right-of-way to help break up the large areas of
pavement.
(5) See FWCC 22-1638 for supplemental guidelines.
(c) Parking structures (includes parking floors located within commercial buildings).
(I) The bulk (or mass) of a parking structure as seen from the right-of-way should be minimized
by placing its short dimension along the street edge. The parking structure should include active uses such
as retail, offices or other commercial uses at the ground level and/or along the street frontage.
(2) Parking structures which are part of new development shall be architecturally consistent with
exterior architectural elements of the primary structure, including rooflines, facade design, and finish
materials.
(3) Parking structures should incorporate methods of articulation and accessory elements,
pursuant to FWCC 22-1 635(c)(2), on facades located above ground level.
(4) Buildings built over parking should not appear to "float" over the parking area, but should be
linked with ground level uses or screening. Parking at grade under a building is discouraged unless the
parking area is completely enclosed within the building or wholly screened with walls and/or landscaped
berms.
(5) Top deck lighting on multi-level parking structures shall be architecturally integrated with the
building, and screened to control impacts to off-site uses. Exposed fluorescent light fixtures are not
permitted.
(6) Parking structures and vehicle entrances should be designed to minimize views into the garage
interior from surrounding streets. Methods to help minimize such views may include, but are not limited
to, landscaping, planters, and decorative grilles and screens.
(7) Security grilles for parking structures shall be architecturally consistent with and integrated
with the overall design. Chain-link fencing is not permitted for garage security fencing.
(8) See FWCC 22-1 638(c)(4) for supplemental guidelines.
(d) Pedestrian circulation and public spaces.
(I) Primary entrances to buildings, except for zero lot line townhouse development and attached
dwelling units oriented around an internal courtyard, should be clearly visible or recognizable from the
right-of-way. Pedestrian pathways from rights-of-way and bus stops to primary entrances, from parking
lots to primary entrances, and pedestrian areas, shall be accessible and should be clearly delineated.
(2) Pedestrian pathways and pedestrian areas should be delineated by separate paved routes using
a variation in paved texture and color, and protected from abutting vehicle circulation areas with
landscaping. Approved methods of delineation include: stone, brick or granite pavers; exposed aggregate;
or stamped and colored concrete. Paint striping on asphalt as a method of delineation is not encouraged.

of-way, or clearly visible from a right-of-way or public sidewalk, may incorporate facade treatments that
are less pedestrian-oriented than in subsection (c )(3)( a) of this section, such as a combination of structural
modulation, architectural articulation, and foundation landscaping.
c. Principal facades of single-story buildings with more than 16,000 sq. ft. of gross
ground floor area shall emphasize facade treatments that reduce the overall appearance of bulk and
achieve a human scale. This may be accomplished through such design techniques as a series of .
distinctive entrance modules or "storefronts" framed by projecting, offset rooflines, and/or a major
pedestrian plaza adjacent to the entrance.
(4) Pedestrian pathways shall be provided from rights-of-way, bus stops, parking areas, and
any pedestrian plazas and public on-site open space to primary building entrances. Where a use fronts
more than one right-of-way, pedestrian access shall be provided from both rights-of-way, or from the

ADMINISTRATIVE REpORT
Mr. Fewins announced that at the February 18, 2009, Planning Commission meeting we will hold our
Annual Appreciation Dinner. The dinner will start at 6:00 p.m. and will take place in the Dash Point
Conference Room. The regular meeting will start at 1:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. There will be two
public hearings: one on the use of recreational vehicles for temporary occupancy and the second is on
construction hours (the Commission held a public hearing on the construction hours and the LUTe sent it
back to Commission). In addition, there will be a study session on the 2009 work program.
Mr. Fewins stated that the reorganization of the Federal Way City Code (FWCC) becomes effective
February 9,2009. The codified version should be ready in about a month. He asked Commissioners if they
want a hard copy of the new code or if they would be willing to access it through the website.
Commissioner Hope would like a hard copy. Commissioner Bronson suggested a CD, but is willing to use
the website. The other Commissioners are willing to access the code through the website. Commissioner
Carlson stated that the tables on the website are difficult to read and understand. Mr. Fewins replied he
would look into this issue.
COMMISSION BUSINESS
PU8L1C HEARING Continued - Clearing, Grading, and Tree Retention Code Amendments
Ms. Shull delivered the staff report. She focused on the changes made since the January 21 SI meeting. On
January 30, 2009, staff issued a final staff draft and it is this document that is being considered at tonight's
meeting. There are two recommendations that staff has received numerous comments to change, namely
limiting the artificial slope gradient to 3: I and limiting the height of single-family retaining walls to four
feet and multi-family/commercial retaining walls to six feet After careful review of these comments, staff
has concluded that the reco~endations will not be changed. The meeting was opened for public comment

Peter Townsend - He commented that he does understand the Commission is frustrated and feels
the proposed amendments should be moved on, but he and other citizens are frustrated because
they have only recently learned about this issue and are attempting to understand some"40 pages of
proposed changes. This issue will affect thousands of homeowners. There are issues he feels have
not been adequately discussed, but feels this is not the time to bring them up since the Commission
wants to move the proposed amendments on to the City Council LandlUse Transportation
Committee (LUTC). He suggested that in the future, staff inform homeowner associations of all
proposed code amendments.
Paul Gobat - He stated that the minutes of January 7, 2009, on page 2, state that the proposed
amendments will not be retroactive and are intended for new lots. The draft does not address this.
The City has not had much input from homeowners on the proposed code amendments. Sellevue
had problems because homeowners did not have much input into some proposed amendments.
Bob Ormsby - He stated that staff has done a good job. Please clarify whether the proposed code
amendments will allow a homeowner to maintain their view. He has lived in a house where he lost
his view because trees in the green belt grew high enough to obscure the view. What impact would
the proposed code amendments have on a homeowner who remodels and changes the footprint?
Paul Lymberis, Quadrant- He asked the Commissioners to look at Exhibit D, which is two
examples of slopes comparing 3: I to 2: I. slopes. His concern is that given the smaU nature of the
change, why should he have to go through a modification process. The 2: I slopes could be
required to meet regulations for steep slopes and he asked the Commission to encourage staff to
make this change.
Brant Schweikl, Schweikl and Associates - He asked that if the proposed amendments are adopted,
that a report be prepared after they have been in use for a while to ascertain if the proposed
amendments work or not. He suggested the report include how many modifications are requested
and if they are approved or not.
Commissioner Carlson stated that in regards to the 2: 1 versus 3: I slopes, his inclination was to agree with
the staff reconunendation. However, after reviewing Exhibit 0 on slopes and what has been said tonight,
he feels that a 2: I slope at a limited, short height would be acceptable.
Commissioner Carlson asked staff if a covenant allows topping and if the city does not, which regulations
would take precedence? Mr. Beckwith replied that covenants are private agreements between homeowners
and city regulations take precedence over covenant regulations.
Mr. Carlson noted that on page 14 of Exhibit A (proposed amendments), item 22- XXX3(9)( c) deals with
tree and vegetation removal and'storm- and groundwater and states that removal"... will not change the
quality, quantity, or velocity of storm water or groundwater." Any kind of clearing and grading will
increase the quantity of runoff, so the word "quantity" should be deleted.
Chair Pfeifer asked Mr. Lymberis what he would say the height should be for a 2: I slope. Mr. Lymberis
commented that he doesn't know the magic number, but ten feet seems to make the most sense because it
fits the current code. Comment has been made in the past that a 3: I slope is easier to maintain; Mr.
Lymberis commented that not aU slopes are intended to be maintained.
Commissioner Medhurst commented that in regards to slopes, the proposed amendments should
accommodate the most common exceptions. He also commented that the definition of topping could allow
one to limb a tree from the bottom up and the definition should be changed.

Commissioner Medhurst is concerned that with a 5% administrative cash deposit for bonds, because as the
amount a bond increases, so will the administrative deposit. He does not feel a more expensive bond
requires a more expensive administrative deposit and suggested that the administrative cash deposit be a
fixed fee. In regards to retaining walls, it is stated that an exemption may be made to allow a higher wall,
but it would have to lead to a "better result." What is meant by a "better result" and how could staff apply
this equitably?
Ms. Shull replied that the 5% administrative cash deposit was chosen because this type of bonds is not
expected to be expensive. However, she understands the concern and staff is willing to consider the
suggestion. As far as using the phase "better result" for allowing an exemption for retaining walls, staff
wants to have flexibility in the code and since it is not possible to know all contingencies, it was felt this
phase would allow for flexibility. The "better result" would be based on aesthetics or saving open space.
Commissioner O'Neil asked Ms. Shull to explain the modification process; he is concerned regarding
timing of a modification, not wanting it to delay a project. Ms. Shull first clarified that a modification is not
a variance. A variance takes more time and effort and requires a hearing examiner hearing. The type of
development standards the city currently grants modifications to include right-of-way projects, landscaping,
and parking. Generally it will become apparent during the preapplication whether a modification may be
wanted or not. The applicant submits a letter to the director requesting the modification explaining what is
wanted and why. Any supporting documentation is included with the letter. The director will issue a
recommendation on the modification request by letter. The process can take from a few days to perhaps a
month or two depending upon the complexity of the request. Regardless, as long as the applicant requests
the modification while their project application is being processed, the recommendation for the modification
request will be completed before the project application process.
Commissioner Elder commented that she has spent a great deal of time considering the slope issue. She
went to another city to view how they handle slopes. She has decided that she does not support the staff
recommendation for slopes, but she does support the staff recommendation for fence height.
Commissioner Bronson commented that on page 2 of Exhibit A, item 20-83(b)(29), it states that the
applicant may be asked for additional information at the discretion of the director. This concerns him
because there is no limit on what the director may ask for and it could increase the cost and time to process
the application. Ms. Shull replied that requirement is there because staff cannot anticipate all information
that may be needed to process the application.
Commissioner Bronson commented that on page 14 of Exhibit A, item 22-XXX3(9)(d), seems to indicate
that a permit is required to remove trees and vegetation. Mr. Fewins commented that removal of trees and
vegetation on a residential lot does not require city approval or permission if it meets the criteria stated in
subsections a - c of thatsection.
Commissioner Long asked if there is a fee for a modification request. Mr. Fewins replied there is no fee.
Commissioner Long asked if a homeowner is granted a modification and his neighbor wants the same
modification, does the neighbor have to submit a modification request. Ms. Shull replied that the neighbor
will need to apply for a modification so that there is an official record of the request and approval.
Commissioner O'Neil asked if he was to remove a tree from his backyard, how this would affect the tree
unit per acre requirement Ms. Shull replied that if removing the tree would put you below the tree unit per
acre requirement, then you would need to replace the tree. Be aware that for an already developed lot, you
would only need to replace to the point you are currently. For example, if to meet the tree unit per acre
K:IPbnning CO<<mis<ionIlQOqIMeeting SWRnat)' O!.(l4.09.doc

PlalUling Commission Minutes

FeblUalY 4, 2009
requirement your lot would need five trees but currently you have three, you do not need to plant two more
trees. In addition, if you were to remove one of your three trees, you would only need to replace one tree,
you would not have to bring the number up to five. Commissioner Medhurst asked what if I \\iant to
replace with a different type of tree. Ms. Shull replied that city will have a wide-range list of acceptable
replacement trees. In addition, one can request a modification.
Commissioner Carlson asked staff to clarify that a parcel part of an approved subdivision would not be
subject to the proposed amendments. Mr. Fewins commented that per state law, a final subdivision is
vested for five years and any development within the subdivision after those five years is subject to the
current code.
Commissioner Carlson asked staff to speak to the topic of topping. Ms. Shull responded that the city does
not have a tree topping standard. Topping is not the same as pruning and arborists say that topping almost
always leads to the death of the tree. For this reason, in the proposed amendments the city considers
topping the same as removing a tree.
Commissioner O'Neil asked if someone cuts down a tree and thereby no longer meets the tree unit per acre
requirement, how would the city know. Mr. Fewins replied that the city's code enforcement is a complaint
based, meaning that unless your neighbor files a compliant, the city will not know.
Commissioner Bronson moved (and it was seconded) to adopt the proposed code amendments as written
and send them on to the LUTC recommending approval.
Commissioner Elder commented that she favors a 2: I slope. Commissioner Carlson agreed, but also feels
the height or length should be limited to six feet. Commissioner Bronson stated that a 2: I slope should be
acceptable and the city can encourage developers to design 3: I slopes. Commissioner Carlson stated that
engineers should be able to design aesthetically pleasing 2: I slopes. Commissioner Elder commented that
properties are developed to be sold and engineers know what will and will not sell and they say 2: I slopes
will sell. Commissioner O'Neil stated that he understands both the staffs and developer's views and feels
that as long as the modification process is not onerous, 3: I slopes are acceptable. Commissioner Medhurst
commented he is in favor of2: I slopes. Commissioner Carlson moved (and it was seconded) to amend the
motion by amending section 22-XX 15 to provide for 2: I slopes with length of no greater than six feet.
Commissioner Bronson commented he doesn't see a need for the six-foot length limit. The vote was held
on the amendment to the motion with two opposed and five in favor; the amendment to the motion carried.
It was pointed out to staff that on page 14 of Exhibit A, there are two sections numbered 9.
Commissioner Medhurst commented that the bond deposit should be on a sliding scale. Commissioner
Medhurst moved (and it was seconded) to amend the motion on the floor to modify Division 3 section 22-
XX33 paragraph 3 to include language consistent with existing bond cash deposits to be applied on a
sliding scale. The vote was held with seven in favor; the amendment to the motion carried.
Commissioner Carlson moved (and it Was seconded) to amend the motion by removing the word
"quantity" from section 22-XXX3(9)(c). The vote Was held with seven in favor, the amendment to the
motion carried.
The vote was held on the original motion to adopt the proposed code amendments as written and send
them on to the LUTC recommending approval as amended. The vote was held with seven in favor, the
motion as amended carried.

Commissioner Pfeifer thanked the staff for all the work they did on the Clearing, Grading, and Tree
Retention Code Amendments. He appreciated that staff involved the Master Builders Association,
homeowners, developers, and engineers and that staff listened to them and made some changes based on
what they heard.
Mr. Fewins commented that staff intends to present the proposed amendments at the February 23, 2009,

to hold elections for chair and vice-chair at their next meeting, planned for February 18,2009.
AUOlENCE COMMENT.
Peter Townsend - He commented that there are more issues that need to be addressed on the
Clearing, Grading, and Tree Retention Code Amendments.
Brant Schweikl. Schweikl and Associates - He stated that he had a project where a costly noise
study was an additional study requested per the director. He asked if subdivisions are vested for
five years, does that mean the CC&R's are no good after five years. He asked if Commissioner
Carlson intended for his amendment to slopes to limit height and not length.
Mr. Beckwith replied that the CC&R's would be a valid document, but city requirements may supersede
them. Commissioner Carlson agreed that he did intend to limit the height and not the length of slopes. Mr.
Fewins commented that he will ensure the LUTC is aware that height and not length was intended.

Commissioner Elder commented that she has spent a great deal of time considering the slope issue. She
went to another city to view how they handle slopes. She has decided that she does not support the staff
recommendation for slopes, but she does support the staff recommendation for fence height.
Commissioner Bronson commented that on page 2 of Exhibit A, item 20-83(b)(29), it states that the
applicant may be asked for additional information at the discretion of the director. This concerns him
because there is no limit on what the director may ask for and it could increase the cost and time to process

that may be needed to process the application.
Commissioner Bronson commented that on page 14 of Exhibit A, item 22-XXX3(9)( d), seems to indicate
that a permit is required to remove trees and vegetation. Mr. Fewins commented that removal of trees and
vegetation on a residential lot does not require city approval or permission if it meets the criteria stated in
subsections a - c of that section.
Commissioner Long asked if there is a fee for a modification request. Mr. Fewins replied there is no fee.
Commissioner Long asked if a homeowner is granted a modification and his neighbor wants the same
modification, does the neighbor have to submit a modification request. Ms. Shull replied that the neighbor
will need to apply for a modification so that there is an official record of the request and approval.
Commissioner 0 'Neil asked if he was to remove a tree from his backyard, how this would affect the tree
unit per acre requirement. Ms. Shull replied that if removing the tree would put you below the tree unit per
acre requirement, then you would need to replace the tree. Be aware that for an already developed lot, you
would only need to replace to the point you are currently. For example, if to meet the tree unit per acre

requirement your lot would need five trees but currently you have three, you do not need to plant two more
trees. In addition, if you were to remove one of your three trees, you would only need to replace one tree,
you would not have to bring the number up to five. Commissioner Medhurst asked what If I want to
replace with a different type of tree. Ms. Shull replied that city will have a wide-range list of acceptable
replacement trees. In addition, one can request a modIfication.
Commissioner Carlson asked staff to clarify that a parcel part of an approved subdi vision would not be
subject to the proposed amendments. Mr. Fewins commented that per state law, a final subdivision is
vested for five years and any development within the subdivision after those five years is subject to the
current code.

always leads to the death of the tree. For this reason, in the proposed amendments the city considers
topping the same as removing a tree.
Commissioner O'Neil asked if someone cuts down a tree and thereby no longer meets the tree unit per acre
requirement, how would the city know. Mr. Fewins replied that the city's code enforcement is a complaint
based, meaning that unless your.neighbor files a compliant, the city will not know.
Commissioner Bronson moved (and it was seconded) to adopt the proposed code amendments as written
and send them on to the LUTC recommending approval.
Commissioner Elder commented that she favors a 2: I slope. Commissioner Carlson agreed, but also teels
the height or length should be limited to six feet. Commissioner Bronson stated that a 2: I slope should be
acceptable and the city can encourage developers to design 3: I slopes. Commissioner Carlson stated that
engineers should be able to design aesthetically pleasing 2: I slopes. Commissioner Elder commented that
properties are developed to be sold and engineers \mow what will and will not sell and they say 2: I slopes
will sell. Commissioner O'Neil stated that he understands both the staffs and developer's views and feels
that as long as the modification process is not onerous, 3: I slopes are acceptable. Conunissioner Medhurst
commented he is in favor of2: I slopes. Commissioner Carlson moved (and it was seconded) to amend the
motion by amending section 22-XX 15 to provide for 2: I slopes with length of no greater than six feet.
Commissioner Bronson commented he doesn't see a need for the six-foot length limit. The vote was held
on the amendment to the motion with two opposed and five in favor; the amendment to the motion carried.
It was pointed out to staff that on page 14 of Exhibit A, there are two sections numbered 9.
Commissioner Medhurst commented that the bond deposit should be on a sliding scale. Commissioner .
Medhurst moved (and it was seconded) to amend the motion on the floor to modify Division 3 section 22-
XX33 paragraph 3 to include language consistent with existing bond cash deposits to be applied on a
sliding scale. The vote was held with seven in favor; the amendment to the motion carried.
Commissioner Carlson moved (and it was seconded) to amend the motion by removing the word
"quantity" from section 22-XXX3(9)(c). The vote was held with seven in favor; the amendment to the
motion carried.
The vote was held on the original motion to adopt the proposed code amendments as written and send
them on to the LUTC recommending approval as amended. The vote was held with seven in favor; the
motion as amended carried.

AUDIENCE COMMENT
Peter Townsend - He commented that there are more issues that need to be addressed on the
Clearing, Grading, and Tree Retention Code Amendments.
Brant Schweik/. Schweik/ and Associates - He stated that he had a project where a costly noise
study was an additional study requested per the director. He asked if subdivisions are vested for
five years, does that mean the CC&R's are no good after five years. He asked if Commissioner
Carlson intended for his amendment to slopes to limit height and not length.
Mr. Beckwith replied that the CC&R's would be a valid document, but city requirements may supersede
them. Commissioner Carlson agreed that he did intend to limit the height and not the length of slopes. Mr.
Fewins commented that he will ensure the LUTC is aware that height and not length was intended.

22, "Zoning," in order to conform to state and federal law, codify administrative practices, clarify and
update zoning regulations as deemed necessary, and improve the efficiency of the regulations and the
development review process; and
WHEREAS, it is in the public interest for the City Council to adopt regulations allowing for the

Way City Code (FWCC), has complied with Process VI review pursuant to FWCC Section 22-216; and

Ordinance No.
Page_of_
Section 1. Findings. The City Council of the City of Federal Way makes the following findings with
respect to the Proposal:
1. The best interests and general welfare of the City of Federal Way would be served by amending
the zoning code to allow for transfer of jurisdiction of review of Class IV -General Forest
Practices applications because:
a. The review of Class IV -General Forest Practices applications would be conducted by City
of Federal Way staff concurrent with the review of clearing and grading plans and tree/
vegetation retention plans; and
b. Approval of Class IV -General Forest Practices applications would run concurrent with
approval of associated land use and/or building permit associated with a project represented
by the forest land conversion to non-forest use; and
c. Timing of the forest practices actions would be tied to the overall site development timeline
approved for the overall project.
2. Since most forest practices within the City of Federal Way are Class IV-General conversions of
forest land to a developed non-forest use, taking over jurisdiction for approval of these actions
will simplify the review process for project applicants as the forest practices review can be
conducted by city staff along with other permit review requirements.
3. Adoption of the zoning code amendments will help implement comprehensive plan land use
and housing element policies that specify improving upon the permit review process and
maximizing efficiency in the permit review process.
Section 2. Conclusions. Pursuant to FWCC Sections 22-216 and 22-528, and based upon the Findings
set forth in Section 1, the Federal Way City Council makes the following Conclusions of Law with
respect to the decisional criteria necessary for the adoption of the proposed amendments:
1. The proposed FWCC text amendments are consistent with, and substantially implement, the
following Federal Way Comprehensive Plan goals and policies:
LUG I Improve the appearance and function of the built environment.
LUP6 Conduct regular reviews of the development regulations to determine how to improve
upon the permit review process.
HP9 Maximize efficiency in the City's development reView process and ensure that
unnecessary time delays and exp~nses are eliminated. Continue to provide streamlined
permitting processes for development that is consistent with the FWCP and FWCC, and that
has no adverse impacts.

NEGl To preserve the City's natural systems in order to protect public health, safety, and
welfare, and to maintain the integrity of the natural environment.
NEP2 Preserve and restore ecological functions, and enhance natural beauty, by encouraging
community development patterns and site planning that maintains and complements natural
landforms.
NEP 18 The City shall maintain regulations and standards to carry out the Surface Water
Management Comprehensive Plan's policy of restricting stormwater runoff from all new
development and redevelopment in order to minimize the potential for flooding and stream
bank erosion, and preserve and enhance development and redevelopment. City policies,
regulations, and standards will meet the comprehensive stormwater program requirements of
the Puget Sound Plan, and will comply with NPDES permit requirements as applicable.
CAl3 (Countywide Planning Policy) AU jurisdictions shall regulate development on certain
lands to protect public health, property, important ecological and hydrogeological functions,
and environmental quality, and to reduce public costs. The natural features of these lands
include: a) Slopes with a grade greater than 40 percent; b) Severe landslide hazard areas; c)
Erosion hazard areas; d) Mine hazard areas; and e) Seismic hazards. Regulations shall
include, at a minimum, provisions for vegetation retention, seasonal clearing and grading
limits, setbacks, and drainage and erosion controls.
NEG9 Adopt standards to ensure against the loss of both public and private property in
geologically hazardous areas.
2. The proposed FWCC text amendment bears a relationship to the public health, safety, and
welfare because it because it establishes more prescriptive standards for clearing, grading, and
retention of trees and vegetation during land development activities. Implementation of the code
amendments will result in development that gives better consideration for natural site conditions
and greater amount of tree and vegetation retention ona citywide basis.
And
3. The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the City because site
development proposals will be required to more cohesively address proposed site clearing and
grading, and tree/vegetation retention as part of the permit review process. .

Preliminary Plat of Steel Lake Crest
FROM:
VIA:
Attached please find copies of the Agenda Bill, Hearing Examiners Decision, and the Staff Report with all
exhibits. This case is unusual in that the Hearing Examiner recommendation is different from the staff
recommendation. Therefore, we would like to give a brief synopsis of the reasons for the differing
recommendations.
The preliminary plat application is for the subdivision of6.77 acres into 28 single family lots. The proposal is
to mass grade the site, including on slopes exceeding 15%, remove a majority ofthe significant trees on site,
make significant cuts and likely utilize retaining walls extensively in order to provide level building sites for
the future homes. Federal Way City Code (FWCC), Chapter 20-179(a-c) limits grading and use of retaining
walls on slopes exceeding 15% and requires that mature vegetation be maintained to the maximum extent
possible. Staff did not feel the proposal was consistent with FWCC 20-179 (a-c) and met with the applicant in
an effort to find options to make the plat more consistent with the above cited code section. The applicant
made a business decision to move forward with the existing design unchanged.
On November 17,2008 the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing on the proposed preliminary plat of Steel
Lake Crest. Staff recommended denial of the plat for the reasons noted above. The Hearing Examiner
recommended approval of the plat subject to conditions identified by staff and adding one additional condition
related to grading of the site. The Hearing Examiner, in his decision, cited case law that suggests the code
sections in question may be too vague to enforce consistently as well as recent case law which suggests that
government must demonstrate the need for such regulations on a case-by-case basis.
In light of the Hearing Examiner's recommendation, staff is supportive of moving this plat forward with a
recommendation of approval.
RESOLUTION NO.

RE: Steel Lake Plat Group
Preliminary Plat
07-103897 -OO-SU
FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS OF
LAW AND RECOMMENDATION
INTRODUCTION
The applicant requests approval of a preliminary plat to subdivide 6.77 acres into 28 lots for
establishment of a single-family residential housing development. The Examiner recommends
approval of the application, subject to some potential modification of the proposed clearing and
grading.
ORAL TESTIMONY
Isaac Conlen - Planning Manager
Mr. Conlen made a short introduction of the Staffs recommendation of denial of this
proposal. He stated that although this is not the normal recommendation from the Staff, due to
an inability of the applicant and staff to come to a consensus regarding issues pertaining to
grading and clearing, they felt that the project was not consistent with applicable Federal Way
standards and policies.
Joanne Long-Woods - Federal Way Senior Planner
Ms. Long-Woods introduced the basics of the project for the hearing, all of which is in
the Staff Report and in the Finding of Facts. She also addressed mitigation measures that have
been proposed regarding noise from 1-5 being blocked from the proposed project as well as the
geotechnical studies that have revealed buried debris piles. The planner also specifically
addressed the issues of clearing and grading that has been proposed. The overall change in
elevation is approximately 70 feet across the site, and the average slope is 9.3%; however, on 6
of the lots the slope is reaching 40%. Overall, 90% of the site will need to be graded. The
grading will result in 17,000 cubic yards of fill brought onto the site and will result in significant
cut areas as well. She discussed these actions in relation to Chapter 9 of the Federal Way Code,
the general policy of which is that as slopes increase, development in those areas should decrease
and that slopes of 40% should be retained in order to prevent erosion and stormwater problems.
Finally, in response to a question from the Hearing Examiner, she stated that she did not have
any outstanding concerns regarding stormwater drainage resulting from the site.
Brant Schwiekel - Project Planner /Engineer for Applicant with 20 years experience in the field
Mr. Schwiekel began by stating the hardships he faced while designing the internal
roadway for the development due to the actions of the Staff. He also stated his disagreement
with the requirement of the City to install pedestrian walkways along Military Road South, as he
believes it is unsafe for motorists and oedestrians alike. but the idea was incorporated into the
I PA072ISoo.DOC; 1/13041.150017/)
Preliminary Plat Recommendation

Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation
plan in order to move the project forward. In addition, he discussed the sight distance
requirements for King County being met by the proposed plan and that the grading of slopes
would be necessary to build the approved road. Mr. Schwiekel then began addressing the
concerns raised regarding the slopes and grading that have been proposed. He stated that the
slopes were not natural to the site, as they had resulted from previous grading work. and that
without the mass grading proposed, there would be no collection gradient available for
stormwater runoff. The road would be elevated and the stormwater pond would be uphill from
the entire infrastructure, serving no purpose. In the proposal, the applicants will not be
developing the site themselves, and because of this, it would be better to allow them to do all of
the grading and clearing rather than leave it up to the multiple potential builders that could be
involved. Also, he discussed the concept that mass grading works for developments, because it
is conducive to families that want a normal flat yard and a normal flat driveway, rather than
sloping on their property. He also pointed out that the density proposed for this site is necessary
and appropriate for Federal Way in order to create livable housing and to bring in property tax.
Mr. Schwiekel also addressed his frustration with the Planning Staffs inability to give him
standards to follow based on the language of applicable code sections, and he also believes that
the new regulations are harsh on the development community and will significantly increase the
difficulty to build in the City. He also stated a basic unwillingness to reduce the number of lots
on the project in order to avoid building on the 40% slopes but did not really state a specific
reason for this stance other than believing that he and the applicants have done their best to meet
the requirements of the regulations.
In his rebuttal, Mr. Schwiekel restated his belief that future citizens and residents want
flat lots, flat backyards for their kids, and flat driveways that are more that access p<>ints to their
garages, and the best way to handle this desire is to handle it now, under the guise of one entity,
rather than waiting for each individual property owner to deal with it themselves. He also states
that flat lots allow for contractors to install standard foundations, rather than foundations that are
much more complicated and costly. In his belief, the only way this site can be developed is
using the cuttent prop<>sal. In his closing, he showed photographs of homes on 15% slopes in
other developments in Federal Way, and once again requested that the City provide him with
specifiC criteria relating to the applicable regulations.
Allen W oida - Applicant/Owner
Mr. Woida basically outlined the route the project has taken in order to get to the current
application proceeding. He also thinks that the plan is in the best interest of the City as well as
the residents. And finally, he stated his belief that the applicable code language regarding
grading and slope is not firm language, and the applicants should be granted a leniency, within
reason, when interpreting the language of the applicable regulations.
Margaret Raner - Neighbor living on Steel Lake
Ms. Raner stated her concern over clear cutting the land and the grading procedures that
would take place should the project be approved. She also stated that she believes there will be
an adverse affect on the environment due to the removal of all but 19 trees and also that the
proposal should not have been granted an exemption from the Shoreline Substantial
Development Permit. Finally, she stated her agreement with the Staffs denial recommendation.
Gloria Trinidad - Applicant/Owner

Preliminary Plat Recommendation
p.2
Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation
Ms. Trinidad stated that she does not believe that the clearing of the trees will have an
environmental impact and that the trees on site are alder trees, and as such are useless. Ms.
Trinidad also discussed her belief that the neighborhood is beginning to resemble a slum, and
new development is necessary to revive the neighborhood.
Ken Miller - Deputy Public Works Director
Mr. Miller testified that from an engineering standpoint, Mr. Schwiekel's design is
standard and appropriate and that stormwater is not a concern of the Public Works Department at
this stage. He also discusses the code and the intent of the code to use the existing topography of
the land rather than to mass grade the property. In addressing the applicant's request for the City
to provide specific standards and definitions to follow regarding the regulation, Mr. Miller states
that specific criteria are difficult to give because of the uniqueness of each individual proposed.
lot and of the site overall. He also stated that although the applicant expressed concern over the
safety of providing pedestrian walkways along Military Road, this is incorporated into the City's
pedestrian facilities plans and the walkways required of the applicant will connect to future
walkway construction along Military Road.

FINDINGS OF FACT
Procedural:
1. Applicant. The applicant is Steel Lake Plat Group, with owners Verlin & Linda Elder, Al
W oida, and Mike & Gloria Trinidad.
2. Hearing. The Hearing Examiner conducted a hearing on the application at 2:00 p.m. at
Federal Way City Hall on November 17, 2008. The applicant requested, and was granted,
several extensions on the issuance of a recommendation by the Examiner. The last extension
expired on February 17,2009.
Substantive:
3. SiteJProposal Description. The applicant proposes to subdivide approximately 6.77 acres
. into 28 lots for establishment of a single-family residential housing development, with public
streets, sewer, and water services. Transportation improvements will include half-street frontage
improvements and dedication of 9 feet of additional right-of-way along 28th Avenue South, an
internal loop roadway with curb, gutter, and sidewalks. Approximately 1.61 acres will be
I PA072IS00.DOC;1I13041. 1 5001 7/}
Preliminary Plat Recommendation
p.3
Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation
dedicated to public right-of-way and .61 acres will be allocated for storm drainage facilities,
landscaping tracts along 2Sth Avenue South and Military Road South, and an 8-foot-wide
pedestrian pathway that runs along the northeast edge of the plat to Military Road South. The
site consists of four parcels, is rectangular in shape. and fronts onto 28th Avenue SO\1th to the
west and Interstate 5 right-of-way and Military Road South to the east. There are currently three
single-family residences, a shed, barn, and swimming pool on the lots. All structures are planned
to be demolished. The site naturally slopes from the southwest corner to the northeast corner,
and there is an approximate drop of70 feet across the site, with an average slope of 9.3%. There
are a few small areas where the average. slope exceeds 40%. The majority of the. steep slopes are
near the existing houses and are a result of prior grading activities on the site. The.slopes on the
south edge of the site are typically 15% or greater. The vegetation on site is primarily deciduous
trees with some large evergreens located on the east side of the proPerty, as well as vine maples,
cedars, blackberry bushes, and nettles. There areovel' 200 trees on the site, and 87 have been
identified as significant. There are also deer and songbirds existing on the subject property.
Steel Lake is located within 200 feet of the proposed preliminary plat and would usually require
the applicants to apply for a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit, but the Director of
Community Development exempted the proposal from such a permit.
4. Characteristics of the Area. The property is situated in the central 'portion of the City in
an already developed single-family residential area. The properties are located south of 30Sth
with 28th Avenue South bordering the west side and the Interstate 5 right-of-way corrid;or on the
east side. Single-family residences border the property to the north, west, and south. There are
many significant trees surrounding the property as well.
5. Adverse Impacts.
A. Clearing and Grading. Staff have recommended denial of this project due to
massive clearing and grading. However, staff have not identified any adverse impacts associated
with this clearing and grading. In fact, staff testified that the clearing and grading will not create
any drainage problems. There is no evidence supporting a finding for any adverse impacts
associated with the proposed clearing and grading.
B. Tree Retention. Neighbors and staff expressed concern for the amount of trees
removed by the project. The City"s tree retention requirements set the standard for acceptable
levels of tree retention. As noted in the staff report, the project complies with the City's tree
retention requirements.
There are no other adverse impacts discern able from the record.
6. Adeauacv of Infrastructure and Public Services. As mitigated by staff, adequate
infrastructure will serve development as follows:
. Transportation: The to-be-constructed internal roadway will be a Type w street and
include 28-foot pavement width, vertical curb and gutter, four-foot. planter strips,
five-foot-wide sidewalks, three-foot utility strip, streetlights, and street trees. An S-
foot-wide paved pedestrian pathway will be constructed from the internal road in the
northeast area of the plat that will follow the outside edge of the proposed storm
t P A0721S00.DOC;1I13041.150017/}

Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation
drainage area and connect to Military Road. The half-street frontage improvements
will allow safer pedestrian travel along 28th A venue South as there are no sidewalks
along this area at this time, just a naITOW paved area outside of a white line marked
along the roadway, which is used by students traveling along the road. The City's
Traffic Engineer reviewed the submitted plans and concluded that the proposed street
layout of the project is consistent with the adopted codes and Comprehensive Plan.
As proposed and as required by the FWCC, all internal and external roadways shall
be improved to all applicable FWCC street standards, and rights-of-ways must be
dedicated by Statutory Warranty Deed to the City of Federal Way. In addition, a
concurrency permit is required for the development, to determine whether there is
adequate roadway capacity to accommodate the development and also identifies
traffic mitigation. The analysis determined 9 Transportation Improvement Plan
projects that will be impacted by the increased automobile traffic coming to and from
the proposed development (See project chart on page 9 of Staff Report). This impact
results in $39,790 of pro-rata mitigation necessary to maintain adopted level of
service standards.
. Pedestrian System: As proposed and required, the plat complies with the FWCC
subdivision code requirements for on- and off-site pedestrian circulation, providing
pedestrian pathways along 28th A venue South as well as on the internal road as well.
. Open Space: The applicant is proposing to install a pedestrian pathway and three
landscaping buffer areas, for a total of 8,223 square feet of open space, leaving
36,013.5 square feet remaining in order to meet the statutory requirements. The
applicant proposes to pay a "fee in lieu of' for the remainder of the required open
space, for a total of $50,155.12. The proposal was circulated to and approved by the
Director of the City Parks Department, and the fee will be required to be paid upon
final plat stage, based on the current assessed value of the land at that time.
. Drainage: 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 requirements of Level 1 Flow control and Basic
Water Quality treatment of the 1998 KCSWDM, as modified by the City.
Stormwater runoff currently discharges towards the northeast corner of the site and
enters a roadside ditch along the western edge of Military Road South, which then
flows to the south, is conveyed through a series of pipes under Military Road and
Interstate 5, and eventually drains into Lake Do11of, which lies at the upper reaches of
the Mill Creek drainage basin. Mill Creek eventually flows into the Green River,
which flows into the Puget Sound. Preliminary design of the drainage system
indicates that stormwater runoff from the site will continue to discharge at the current,
natural location. Additionally, a narrow strip of 28th Avenue South drains into Steel
Lake. Street improvements to 28th A venue South will increase the amount of
impervious area that drains into Steel Lake. The increase in impervious area does not
warrant additional flow control or water quality treatment facilities, but the
developer's engineer has agreed to install a small water quality treatment facility in
the lowest downstream catch basin, if determined to be necessary. The approved
storm drainage facilities must be constructed per City code requirements, prior to
(P A0721Soo.DOC; 1113041.150017/1
Preliminary Plat Recommendation
p.5
Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation
final plat approval and recording of the subdivision. Final review and approval of the
storm drainage facilities as shown on the engineering plan will occur in conjunction
with full drainage review.
. Water: The applicant proposes to serve th.e subdivision with a public water supply
and distribution system managed by the Lakehaven Utility District. The May 18,
2007, Certificate of Water Availability indicates Lakehaven's capacity to serve the
proposed development through a Developer Extension Agreement (DEA). However,
the applicant will need to reapply for the availability letter since the determination is
only valid for one year from the date of issuance.
. Sewage: The applicant proposes to serve the proposed plat by a public sewer system
managed by Lakehaven Utility District. A May 2007 Certificate of Sewer Availability
indicates the district's capacity to serve the proposed development through a
Developer Extension Agreement (DEA) between the applicant and the district. The
applicant will be extending the sewer to the far edge of the subject site and may
provide opportunities for other properties to hook up to the sewer on a latecomer
basis. However, the applicant will need to reapply for the availability letter since the
determination is only valid for one year from the date of issuance.
. Schools: A May 8, 2007 (Ex. N) school access analysis submitted by the applicant
indicates that the site is located in the service areas of Wildwood Elementary,
Sacajawea Middle School, and Federal Way High School. Also, comments from this
report indicate that the development will generate approximately 20-21 additional
school aged children. School service areas are reviewed annually and may be
adjusted to accommodate enrollment growth and new development. Middle and
elementary school students would be required to walk to bus stops along 28th Avenue
South, located at 3101h Street and 3Uth Street. High school students would be
required to walk to school from this development. Bus stops are subject to change, as
student needs increase and roads are developed. School impact fees will be collected
at the time of building permit issuance. Currently those fees amount to $3,883.00
plus a $194.00 City administrative fee 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.
. Fire Protection: South King Fire and Rescue requires that a fire hydrant be located on
the east end of the plat, that the hydrants must be spaced 600.feet or less apart, and
that every building lot shall have a fire hydrant within 300 feet. All hydrants shall be
in service prior to and during construction. The Celtificate of Water Availability
from Lakehaven Utility District indicates that water will be available to the site in
sufficient quantity to satisfy fire flow standards for the proposed development. The
exact number and location of fire hydrants will be reviewed and approved by South
King Fire and Rescue.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

(PA072IS00.DOC; 1/13041.150017/)
Preliminary Plat Recommendation
p.6
Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation
1. Authority of Hearing Examiner: FWCC 20-110 (4) and (5) provide the Examiner with
the authority to conduct a hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council on
preliminary plat applications.
Substantive:
2. Zoning Designation: Single-Family - High Density, RS7.2.
3. Review Criteria and Application. FWCC 20-126(c) governs the criteria for preliminary
plat approval. Those criteria are quoted in italics below and applied to the application under
corresponding Conclusions of Law.
FWCC 20-126(c): Decisional Criteria. A Hearing Examiner shall use the following criteria in
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 applicant p~"Oposes a residential development in an area designated by the Federal
Way Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code for residential development, within the densities
specified by the Zoning Code. Overall, the pl"Oject is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
One potential area of inconsistency concerns the mass clearing and grading proposed for the site.
Due to the nonmandatory language of the applicable policy and constitutional constraints in
interpreting that language, the Examiner does not find an inconsistency.
The comprehensive plan policy at issue is Policy NEP55, which provides as follows:
"As slope increases; development intensity, site coverage, and vegetation removal
should decrease, and thereby minimize drainage problems, soil erosion, siltation,
and landslides. Slopes of 40 percent or more should be retained in a natural
state, free of structures and other land surface modifications. "
There is no clearing and grading discern able from the record of slopes of 40% or more. The
issue for purposes of this application is whether development intensity, site coverage and
vegetation removal has "decreased" as slopes have "increased." Page 8 of the staff report notes
that "the grading plan shows significant cutting and filling in areas exceeding 15% slope."
In order to abide constitutional and statutory requirements and to avoid successful legal
challenge, the City should interpret its regulation in a manner that is consistent with
constitutional and statutory requirements. It is fairly clear from the record that the only way the
applicant can avoid the disturbance of the 15% slopes is by reducing the number of lots in those
areas. Consequently, a strict application of NEP55 results in a set-aside of property. In this
respect, the NEP55 and related regulations are similar to the King County open-space set-aside
requirements assessed in Citizens' Alliance for Property Rights v. King County, 145 Wn. App.
649 (2008). In that case the appellate court struck down a King County development regulation
requiring portions of property to be retained in its natural state as violating RCW 82.02.020. The
Court found that RCW 82.02.020 required King County to show that its set-aside requirements
were necessary to mitigate problems created by a development proposal (legally tenned "nexus")
{PA0721500.DOC;1I13041.l50017l}
Preliminary Plat Recommendation
p. 7
Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation
and that the amount of property set-aside was in proportion to the magnitude of the adverse
impacts created by the development (legally termed "proportionality"). The Court constmed
RCW 82.02.020 as placing the burden of proof on nexus and proportionality upon the
government. The Court struck down King County's open-space set-aside requirements because
King County failed to meet its burden. Given the King County case, the City should interpret
Policy NEP55 in a manner that restricts development when to do so is necessary to avoid adverse
impacts of clearing and grading steep slopes.
A second constitutional issue that must be used as an interpreted tool is the "void for vagueness"
doctrine, where courts will invalidate a development requirement on due process grounds when it
is so vague that persons of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ
as to its application. Anderson.v. Issaquah, 70 Wn. App. 64 (1993). Consequently, in order to
avoid invalidation, vague standards such as "minimize" must only be interpreted as restricting
development when it is absolutely clear that the standard has been violated. To do otherwise
would simply lead to invalidation anyway.
As noted in the Findings of Fact, there was no evidence presented at the hearing to show that the
mass grading and clearing would create any adverse impacts. Staff even testified that the mass
clearing and grading would not create any drainage problems. Federal Way also has some fairly
detailed critical area regulations that would prevent any clearing/grading or development activity
that would result in any geological hazards. NEP55, as is the case with most comprehensive plan
policies, is also vague. It requires that clearing/grading activities "decrease" as slope increases.
There is no indication of what level of development is appropriate for the steep slopes on the
property. NEP55 is also not a mandatory provision; it only requires that development activity
"should" decrease as slopes increase. The City's critical area regulations guide and restrict
development on steep slopes. Given the absence of any evidence showing adverse impacts and
the vagueness of NEP55, the Examiner concludes that the City's critical area ordinance
adequately implements NEP55 for this project and no further limitation on development is
required.
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. As detailed in the staff report, the proposed preliminary plat is consistent with all
applicable subdivision regulations and those adopted by reference from the comprehensive plan.
The one point where the Examiner disagrees in the staff analysis is staff s finding that the project
mass grading and clearing fails to comply with FWCC 20-179. Due to the statutory and
constitutional constraints on interpretation detailed in Conclusion of Law No.5, the Examiner
finds that the project is marginally consistent with FWCC 20-179, with some modification.
FWCC 20-179 provides as follows:
(a) All natural vegetation shall be retained on the site to be subdivided except that
which will be removed for improvements or grading as shown on approved
engineering plans. For zero lot line townhouse development, clearing and grading
shall be allowed to accommodate the construction of the building(s). If
development is to be phased, clearing and grading shall also be phased. A
{PA0721S00.DOC;1I13041. lSOOl?/}
Preliminary Plat Recommendation
p.8
Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation
preliminary clearing and grading plan shall be submitted as part of preliminary
plat application.
(b) Existing mature vegetations shall be retained to the maximum extent possible.
Preservation of significant trees pursuant to FWCC 22-1568 shall apply solely to
the development of each single-family lot at the time a building pennit is applied
for.
(c) Lots created on slopes of 15 percent or greater shall minimize grading and
shall not result in extensive use of retaining walls. Slopes are to be measured in
their natural state.
The applicant testified that the clearing and grading was necessary to provide. a gradient for
stormwater discharge and to allow for level lots. To the extent that the clearing and grading is
necessary for stormwater discharge, the Examiner finds that the clearing/grading is necessary for
improvements as contemplated in FWCC 20-179(a). To the extent that the clearing and grading
is only necessary to provide for level driveways or yards, the Examiner does not find the
clearing/grading consistent with FWCC 20-179(a). The project will be conditioned to allow
clearing and grading only to the extent necessary for stonnwater discharge and buildable lots,
within the context of the proposed lot and improvement configuration.
FWCC 20-179(b) is probably the most difficult standard from the developer's perspective, since
it is fairly specific in requiring vegetation to be retained "to the maximum extent possible."
Taken literally, this would mean no development should be allowed except for the constitutional
takings minimum of one or two homes. Since vegetation covers most an developable sites in
Federal Way, a literal application of FWCC 20-179(b) would severely restrict development and
would prevent Federal Way from reaching its growth targets mandated by the Washington State
Growth Management Act, Chapter 36.70A RCW. Going beyond the constitutional minimum.
the City is again left with a vague standard because it is difficult to come to an objective
conclusion on what design preserves vegetation "to the maximum extent possible." The
proposed condition in the preceding paragraph allows the applicant to have the number of
buildable lots he proposes while maintaining the vegetation on each of those lots to the extent
consistent with stonnwater control. As conditioned, the project satisfies FWCC 20-179(b).
FWCC 20-179(c) is also satisfied by the condition of approval applied in the preceding
paragraph. FWCC 20-179(c) does not limit the number of lots on slopes of 15% or more. It just
requires the minimization of grading on those lots. That is precisely what the recommended
condition of approval does.
FWCC 20-126(c)(3): It is consistent with public health, safety, and welfare.
6. The proposed preliminary plat would permit development of the site consistent with the
current Single-Family High Density land use classification of the Federal Way Comprehensive
Plan and map. Proposed access and fire hydrant locations must meet all requirements of South
King Fire and Rescue, and all future structures are required to be sprinklered. As conditioned,
future development of the plat in accordance with applicable codes and regulations will ensure
protection of the public health, safety, and welfare.
{PA072ISOO.DOC; 1/l3041.1S0017/}
Preliminary Plat Recommendation
p.9
Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation
FWCC20-126(c)(4): It is consistent with the design criteria listed in FWCC 20-2:
7. The proposed preliminary plat would promote the purposes identified in FWCC Section
20-2 and the standards and regulations therein, as identified in the staff report, including
promotion of safe and convenient travel on streets, provision for the housing needs of the
community, and preservation of a portion of the site as common open space. As proposed, the
plat application complies will all provisions of the chapter.
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;
.8. 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 development, at the proposed densities, meets these
objectives. Also, as previously discussed, the project provides 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:
9. As previously noted, the project constitutes development in an area that is already
characterized and developed by residential development. In addition, the project will effectively
use the land, combining high~density housing with high levels of open space and on-site
infrastructure. Also as previously discussed, the project is served (or as conditioned will be
served) by adequate infrastructure. For these reasons, the above criterion is satisfied.
FWCC 20-2(4): Provide for adequate light and air.
10. The density of the project meets the density requirements for the RS7.2 'zoning 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 set 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:
11. As noted in the Findings of Fact, the project is served by adequate infrastructure in order
to properly serve new residents as well as to prevent degradation of current services to existing
residents of the area.
FWCC 20-2(6): Provide for proper ingress and egress:

Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation
12. According to Staff, access to all lots will comply with City design standards. The
improvements to 28th Avenue South and the creation of the internal roadway loopwill aid in
available safe access to the subject property.
FWCC 20-2(7): Provide for housing and commercial needs of the community:
13. At the proposed densities, project satisfies the above criteria.
FWCC 20-2(8): Require uniform monumenting of land divisions and conveyance of accurate
legal descriptions:
14. FWCC 20-1 11 (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:
15. 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. No appeal has been filed in regards to the SEP A determination, and although
concerns regarding the significant trees and steep slopes have been raised, they do not qualify as
environmentally sensitive areas. In addition, further review of the engineering site plan would
take place prior to construction or final approval of the plat.
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.
16. Any development of the site will have to comply with the City's critical areas ordinance,
which ensures adequate protection of environmental resources. As conditioned, the project also
minimizes disturbance of vegetation and slopes that are not protected by the critical areas
ordinance. The criterion is satisfied.
FWCC 20-12S(c)(S): It is consistent with the development standards listed in FWCC 20-151
through 20-157, and 20-178 through 20-187.
17. As noted in the staff repOlt, the subdivision complies with all standards identified above.
The staff report does not find compliance with applicable clearing and grading requirements
(most notably FWCC 20-179), but as conditioned the Examiner does find compliance.
RECOMMENDATION
The Examiner recommends approval of the preliminary plat application, subject to the conditions
of approval recommended by staff and the following: .
1. Clearing and grading at the subdivision stage of development is limited to the extent
{P Aonl 500.DOC; 1113041.150017/}

p.ll
Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation
necessary to ensure: (a.) gravity discharge to the detention facilities proposed by the applicant; (b)
that all proposed lots are buildable; and (c) that the lots and improvements can be located and
configured as proposed. Buildable lots are defined as lots that can accommodate a home with at
least a 2,500 square foot footprint and still comply with all applicable regulations, including
critical area regulations.

II. CONSULTED DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
The following departments, agencies, and individuals were advised of this application.
A. Community Development Review Committee (CDRC), consisting of the Federal Way
Community Development Services Planning and Building Divisions; Public Works Engineering
and Traffic Divisions; Parks Recreation and Cultural Resources Department; South King Fire
and Rescue; Lakehaven Utility District; and Federal Way Public Schools. CDRC comments
have been incorporated into this report where applicable.
B. All property owners within 300 feet of the site were mailed notices of the application as required
by the Subdivision code, as well as the Mitigated Determination ofNonsignificance (MDNS) as
required by the State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A) and FWCC Chapter 18, "Environmental
Protection." The site was also posted and notices published in the newspaper and on the City's
official notice boards. Four comment letters were submitted in response to the August 11,2007,
Notice of Application. Two of the letters had return addresses on them, and two were submitted
as anonymous comments. Following revisions to the preliminary plat application, the City
responded to the parties that provided comments on the design of the plat on October 28, 2008,
and November 4, 2008.
III. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA)
A. The City of Federal Way issued a Mitigated Environmental Determination ofNonsignificance
(MDNS) for the proposed action on October 4, 2008. This determination was based on review of
information in the project file, including the environmental checklist and staff evaluation of the
Staff Evaluation
Steel Lake Crest Preliminary Plat
File 07-1 03897-00-SU/Doc lD. 47633
Page 3
environmental checklist for Steel Lake Crest Preliminary Plat, resulting in the conclusion that
the proposal would not result in probable significant adverse impacts on the environment.
B. The comment period for the MDNS concluded on October 20, 2008. One comment letter was
received in response to the environmental determination. The City replied to this comment letter
dated October 20, 2008. The applicant provided a response to the MDNS as well. The appeal
period ended on November 3,2008, with no appeals to the City's environmental decision. The
environmental decision is incorporated as though set forth in full.
IV. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
A. Soils - The Subsuiface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Report, prepared by Jason
Engineering & Consulting Business, Inc, and dated June 20, 2007, stated that ''the western portion
of the site consisted of AldelWood gravelly sandy loam (AgB) soils. Typical Alderwood soils are
moderately well drained, undulating to hilly soils that have dense, very slowly permeable glacial
till at a depth of 20 to 40 inches; on uplands and terraces formed under conifers in glacial deposits.
These soils are nearly level and moderately well drained. Water moves across the substratum in
winter. Areas are irregular in shape and slopes range from 0 to 6 percent. Runoffis slow and the
erosion hazard is slight. .
The geology of the eastern portion of the site consists of Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (Age).
Soil profiles are similar in type except permeability is moderately rapid in the surface layer and
subsoil. However, it is very slow within the cemented layer and dense glacial till. A perched water
table is as high as 18 to 36 inches at times from January through March. Runoff is slow to medium
and erosion hazard is moderate." The property slopes gently from west to east.
B. Topography, Slopes - The Technical Information Report & Preliminary Drainage Report states
that the site naturally slopes from the southwest comer to the northeast comer. There is an
approximate drop of70 feet across the site, with an average slope of 9.3%. There are a few small
areas where the average slope exceeds 40%. The majority of these steep slopes are near the
existing houses that have slopes up to 40% and are the result of prior grading activities. The slopes
on the south edge of the site are typically 15% or greater.
c. Vegetation - The geotechnical report identifies existing vegetation as primarily deciduous trees
with some large evergreen trees located on the east side of the property. There are also vine
maples, cedar trees, blackberry bushes, and nettles.
Preliminary plat applications are subject to submittal and approval of a tree retention plan and
landscape plan pursuant to FWCC Section 20-186. City policy and FWCC Section 20-179 states
that "existing mature vegetation shall be retained to the .maximum extent possible, with site
clearing limited to plat infrastructure improvements, such as streets, drainage, utilities, usable open
space, and related improvements. Retained significant trees located outside of plat infrastructure
areas would be regulated under FWCC Section 22-1568, "Significant Trees," and addressed at the
time a building permit is applied for. That section further states that "lots created on slopes of 15%
or greater shall minimize grading and shall not result in extensive use of retaining walls. Slopes
are to be measured in their natural state."
The applicant proposes to do mass grading on the site, resulting in the clearing, grading, and
removal of a majority of the significant trees and other vegetation on site. There are over 200
Staff Evaluation
Steel Lake Crest Preliminary Plat
File 07-103897-00-SU/Doc lD 41633
Page 4
trees on the site, but not all of them are considered "significant trees." A Landscape Plan (L-i)
and Tree Retention Plan (L-2) were submitted by the Roper Company, last revised submittal was
submitted on August 4, 2008, but the plan was dated May 13, 2008.
The plan and retention report identified that there are eighty seven (87) significant trees located
on the subject site.1 Pursuant to the provisions ofFWCC Section 22-1568, removal of more than
75 percent of the significant trees requires replacement in the amount of 25 percent of the
existing significant trees. The applicant proposes to retain nineteen (19) of the significant trees
and provide tree replacement through installation of three (3) replacement trees at the time of
planting, and further proposes to plant eight (8) additional trees on some of the lots within the
preliminary plat site. The proposal will just meet the minimum required percentage of tree
preservation and replacement, but the mass grading project will remove most of the internal trees
and a majority of the trees on the east side ofthe parcel.
As discussed in section VI.E, Grading, below, City staff is reconnnending denial of the
proposed preliminary plat and the proposed mass clearing and grading of the site.
D. Storm water Runoff-Development of the site will create additional runoff from new impervious
surfaces such as streets, driveways, and rooftops. The storm drainage facilities are being
designed in accordance with the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM),
which is currently adopted by the City. The subject site is required to meet the criteria for Level
1 Flow Control and Basic Water Quality standards as described in the 1998 KCSWDM.
The Preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR), with Preliminary Drainage Review
prepared by Schweikl and Associates, PLLC, dated July 2007 and revised May 2008 proposes to
meet the requirements for flow control and water quality by utilizing a combined detention and
wet pond, as allowed under the KCSWDM.
E. Wildlife and Habitat - The applicant noted in the SEP A checklist that deer and songbirds exist
on the subject property, that the planting of native vegetation on the site will enhance wildlife
habitat opportunities, and that no threatened or endangered species are known to be on or near
the subject site.
F. Steel Lake - Steel Lake is classified as a shoreline of the state and is located within 200 ft. of the
proposed preliminary plat and is regulated by the FWCC, Section 18. Development projects
within 200 ft. of a shoreline of the state are often required to apply for a Shoreline Substantial
Development Permit, in addition to the underlying permit action. However, the applicant
submitted a request to the Director of Community Development in 2007 for an exemption from
the substantial development process stating that the potential impacts to the shoreline were very
minimal as only the half street frontage improvements being required by the City and located at
the northwest comer ofthe parcel was within 200 ft. of the shoreline. Of that area, 289 sq. ft.,
over half of the area would be paved dedicated right-of-way and most of the remaining area
would be a landscaping buffer. The exemption was granted as requested on May 10,2007.
G. Noise - The subject property is adjacent to the Interstate-5 right-of-way. The applicant was
asked to submit a Noise Evaluation to determine impacts of noise from the highway on proposed

Acoustics, LLP, dated June 1, 2007. The review identified that the outside noise levels under
HUD standards for residential development, should not exceed an Ldn of 65 dBA; without
additional noise reduction incorporated into the construction. The testing done on the property
identified that for the Day-Night Average Noise Levels measured in the area, the acceptable Ldn
was higher than that recommended by HVD, therefore mitigation was required.
The two options recommended to mitigate the noise from Interstate 5 were: 1) provide above-
standard exterior envelope construction mitigation; or, 2) construct a noise barrier. The applicant
contacted Washington State Department of Transportation to inquire whether there were any
future plans to construct a noise barrier along this length of highway. The WSDOT staff person
did not confirm any plans to build such a barrier. Therefore, in subsequent correspondence, the
applicant identified a preference for incorporating noise reduction standards into the construction
of future homes. The proposed mitigation by SSA Acoustics, LLP was, therefore, incorporated
into the mitigated SEP A determination.
v. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS
A. Vicinity - The property is situated in the central portion of the City in an already developed
single-family residential area. The site contains three older single-family residences, a shed, and
a swimming pool. The properties are located south of 308th with 28th Avenue South bordering
the west side and the Interstate 5 right-of-way corridor on the east side. Single-family residences
border the property to the north, west, and south. There are many significant trees along the west
side of the property, in the center and on the east edge.
VI. GENERAL DESIGN
A. Density - The total site area is 294,910 sq. ft, or 6.77 acres. Of that area, 61,290 sq. ft. will be
dedicated to right-of-way and road improvements, 18,449 sq. ft. will be developed for storm
drainage facilities, 4,561 sq. ft. will be developed into landscaping tracts, and 3,661 sq. ft. will
be developed as a pedestrian pathway. Of the developable land, 4.75 acres, 28 lots could be built
on the site of the proposed plat provided all other requirements of the FWCC are met.
B. Lot Size - The underlying zoning is RS-7.2, which requires a minimum of 7,200 sq. ft. per lot.
As shown on the preliminary plat map, Sheet PP1, prepared by Schweikl & Associates, lots
range in size from 7,203 sq. ft. to 8,995 sq. ft. The land area excludes land set aside for roads,
storm drainage pond, open space, and a pedestrian pathway. The plat meets the minimum
standard necessary for lot sizes.
C. Lot Layout - The lots are arranged around an internal loop road that accesses off of 28th Avenue
South. There are six lots configured within the center of the road loop. All lots will access off of
the internal road, with no direct access onto 28th Avenue South. An 8-foot-wide pedestrian
pathway will be constructed along the north boundary of proposed Lot 28 and extend to Military
Road South. The pedestrian pathway will be paved and will have lighting, landscaping, and a
fence along the side.
D. Parks & Open Space - FWCC 20-156(b) requires that 15% of the land be set aside for open
space. Of the total land area for this plat, 44,236.5 sq. ft. is required to meet this requirement.
The applicant is proposing to install a pedestrian pathway and three landscaping buffer areas, for
Staff Evaluation
Steel Lake Crest Preliminary Plat
File 07-1 03897-00-SU/Doc. I.D 47633
Page 6
a total of 8,223 sq.ft., leaving 36,013.5 sq. ft. remaining. The applicant proposes to pay a "fee in
lieu of' for the remainder of the required open space, for a total of $50,155.12. The proposal was
circulated to and approved by the Director of the City Parks Department. The fee will be
required to be paid at final plat stage, based on the current assessed value of the land at that time.
E. Subdivision Access and Roadway System - The plat will be accessed by a single access point
off of 28th Avenue South and the lots will be accessed by an internal loop road. The applicant is
being asked to dedicate an additional 9 feet of right-of-way along the east side of 28th Avenue
South and construct half-street frontage improvements.
F. Pedestrian System - The internal loop road in the plat will include curb, gutter, and sidewalks
for pedestrian access throughout the plat. In addition, an 8-foot-wide paved pedestrian pathway
will be constructed from the internal road in the northeast area of the plat that will follow the
outside edge of the proposed storm drainage area and connect to Military Road South. The half-
street frontage improvements will allow safer pedestrian travel along 28th Avenue.South as there
are no sidewalks along this area at this time; only a narrow paved area outside of a white line
marked along the roadway, which is used by students travelling along the road to either a bus
stop or path to their schools.
G. Landscaping - The applicant's preliminary landscape plan provides landscaping as required by
FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions," and FWCC Section 20-186, "Landscaping protection and
enhancement", including street trees along public roads and internal landscaped open space and
common areas. As a recommended condition of preliminary plat approval, the applicant's final
landscape plan shall be prepared in accordance with the preliminary plat conditions of approval
and shall be submitted for the City's review and approval prior to issuance of engineering
approval for plat improvements.
FWCC Chapter 20 requires perimeter landscape buffers only when the plat abuts an
incompatible zoning district. The proposed plat is bordered on two sides by single-family
residential zoning; therefore, no buffers are required along the north and south boundaries of the
plat. The applicant is required, however, to provide landscape buffers along an arterial street.
Ten-foot landscaping buffers are provided in Tracts B & C along 28th Avenue South and a ten-
foot landscaping buffer is provided along the side of Military Road South, adjacent to the exit of
the pedestrian pathway. In total, 4,451 sq. ft. oflandscaping will be provided in three separate
tracts. Street trees and other vegetation will contribute to visual buffering along these areas.
The applicant's Tree Retention Plan prepared by the Roper Company and dated May 30, 2008,
indicates the location of existing significant trees, identification of trees to be preserved, and the
location of replacement trees. The plan also identifies the remainder of other trees located on the
property, most of which will be removed with mass grading of the site. The FWCC requires that
25% of the significant trees remain on site or be replaced with additional evergreen trees. Of the
87 significant trees, the applicant will remove 68 of them, leaving 19 trees, or 22%. In order to
meet minimum requirements of the code, the preliminary landscape plan identifies that the
applicant proposes to add eleven evergreen replacement trees, placed sporadically on some of
the lots within the plat.
H. Clearing, Grading - Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-179, all natural vegetation shall be retained
on the site to be subdivided, except that which will be removed for infrastructure improvements
or grading as shown on approved engineering plans. Existing mature vegetation shall be retained
to the maximum extent possible. The effect of these provisions is that mass clearing and grading
Staff Evaluation
Steel Lake Crest Preliminary Plat
File 07-1 03897-00-SU/Doc JD 47633
Page 7
is not permitted. Only areas where infrastructure is required may be cleared prior to final plat
approval. Additionally, 20-179(c) states that "lots created on slopes of 15% or greater shall
minimize grading and shall not result in extensive use of retaining walls. Slopes are to be
measured in their natural state."
The applicant proposes to do mass grading on the site, resulting in the clearing, grading, and
removal of a majority of the significant trees and other vegetation on site. There are over 200
trees on the site, but not all of them are considered "significant trees." A Landscape Plan (1-1)
and Tree Retention Plan (L-2) were submitted by the Roper Company, last revised submittal was
submitted on August 4, 2008, but the plan was dated May 13, 2008.
The plan and retention report identified that there are eighty seven (87) significant trees located
on the subject site? Pursuant to the provisions ofFWCC Section 22-1568, removal of more than
75 percent ofthe significant trees requires replacement in the amount of25 percent of the
existing significant trees. The applicant proposes to retain nineteen (19) of the significant trees
and provide tree replacement through installation of eleven additional replacement trees at the
time of planting on some of the lots within the preliminary plat site. The proposal will just meet
the minimum required percentage of tree preservation and replacement, but the mass grading
project will remove most of the internal trees and a majority of the trees on the east side of the
parcel.
The proposed subdivision is not consistent with the provisions ofFWCC 20-179 (a), (b), or (c).
The applicant proposes to mass clear and grade the site. The preliminary grading plan shows
significant cutting and filling in areas exceeding 15% slope. Retaining walls are not depicted,
but based on the proposed plat grading plan, it is highly likely that extensive retaining walls
would be proposed with home construction.
VII. TRANSPORTATION
A. Street Improvements - As proposed and as required by the FWCC, any required right-of-way
dedication must be established through Statutory Warranty Deed to the City of Federa1 Way and
all internal and external streets must be improved to meet all applicable FWCC street standards.
The section for 28th Avenue South is a section 'K' and includes a 78-foot-wide right-of-way, 44-
foot pavement width, vertical curb and gutter, six-foot planter strips, eight-foot-wide sidewalks,
streetlights, and street trees. Submitted plans demonstrate how the full street section can be
constructed with an additional nine-foot ROW dedication. The approved internal roadway is a
Type 'w' street and includes 28-foot pavement width, vertical curb and gutter, four-foot planter
strips, five-foot-wide sidewalks, three-foot utility strip, streetlights, and street trees. A sight
distance analysis was provided and reviewed by the City.
An 8-foot-wide paved pedestrian pathway will be constructed from the internal road in the
northeast area of the plat that will follow the outside edge of the proposed storm drainage area
and connect to Military Road. The half-street frontage improvements will allow safer pedestrian
travel along 28th Avenue South as there are no sidewalks along this area at this time; only a

narrow paved area outside of a white line marked along the roadway, which is used by students
travelling along the road to either a bus stop or path to their schools.
The City's Traffic Engineer reviewed the submitted plans and concluded that the proposed street
layout of the Steel Lake Crest project is consistent with the adopted codes and comprehensive
plan.
B. Concurrency - Per FWCC Chapter 19, Article IV, a concurrency permit is required for the
development. At the applicant's request, a concurrency analysis was performed by the City to
determine whether there is adequate roadway capacity to accommodate the development and
identifies traffic mitigation consistent with RCW 82.02. The staff report of the Concurrency
analysis identified 9 Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) projects impacted by one or more
PM peak hour trips resulting in $39,790.00 in pro-rata mitigation necessary to address any
failures of the City's Level of Service (LOS) standard.
The table below lists current TIP projects imp~cted by the proposed development and the
appropriate pro-rata contribution. Prior to final plat approval, the applicant shall pay the
project pro-rata share contribution in the amount of $39~790.00 to the City.

VIII. PUBLIC SERVICES
A. Schools - As part of the City's review of the proposal, the preliminary plat application and a
School Access Analysis was prepared by Schweikl & Associates, dated May 8, 2007 and was
submitted to the Federal Way School District for review. According to District comments the
Staff Evaluation
Steel Lake Crest Preliminary Plat
File 07-1 03897-00-SU/Doc 10.47633
Page 9
proposed development will generate approximately 20 to 21 additional school aged children.
The site is located in the service areas for Wildwood Elementary, Sacajawea Middle School, and
Federal Way High School. The elementary and middle school students would be required to
walk to bus stops along 28th Avenue South, located at 31 Oth Street and 311 th Street, respectively.
The Federal Way High School students would be required to walk to school from this
development.
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 $3,883.00 (plus a $194.00 City
administrative fee) 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.
B. Parks & Open Space - The applicant is proposing to install a pedestrian pathway and three
landscaping buffer areas, for a total of 8,223 sq.ft.,leaving 36,013.5 sq. ft. remaining. The
applicant proposes to pay a "fee in lieu of' for the remainder of the required open space, for a
total of$50,155.12. The proposal was circulated to and approved by the Director ofthe City
Parks Department. The fee will be required to be paid at final plat stage, based on the current
assessed value of the land at that time.
C. Fire Protection - South King Fire and Rescue requires that a hydrant be located on the east end
of the plat. Fire hydrants must be spaced 600 ft. or less apart. Every building lot shall have a fire
hydrant within 300 ft. and all measurements must be made as vehicular travel distance. All
hydrants shall be in service prior to and during construction. A Certificate of Water Availability
from Lakehaven Utility District indicates that water will be available to the site in sufficient
quantity to satisfy fIre flow standards for the proposed development.
IX. UTILITIES
A. Sewage Disposal- The applicant proposes to serve the proposed plat by a public sewer system
managed by Lakehaven Utility District. A May 2007 Certificate of Sewer Availability indicates
the district's capacity to serve the proposed development through a Developer Extension
Agreement (DEA) between the applicant and the district. However, the applicant has since had
to reapply for the availability letter since the determination is only valid for one year from date
of issuance. The applicant still needs to apply for the DEA.
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 May 18, 2007, Certificate of
Water Availability indicates Lakehaven's capacity to serve the proposed development through a
Developer Extension Agreement (DEA). Again, the applicant was required to re-apply for the
availability letter in 2008. The DEA is still 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 requirements of Level I Flow Control and Basic Water Quality treatment of
the 1998 KCSWDM, as modified by the City. The applicant's storm drainage Preliminary
Technical Information Report (TIR), dated July 2007, revised May 2008, includes the Level I
Drainage Analysis, which was reviewed by the City's Public Works Department. According to
the TIR, stormwater runoff currently discharges towards the northeast comer of the site, and
Staff Evaluation
Steel Lake Crest Preliminary Plat
File 07-1 03897-00-SU/Doc. J.D 47633
Page 10
enters a roadside ditch along the western edge ofMHitary Road South, which then flows to the
south, is then conveyed through a series of pipes under Military Road and Interstate 5, and
eventually drains into Lake Dollof, which lies at the upper reaches of the Mill Creek drainage
basin. Mill Creek eventually flows into the Green River, which eventually flows into Puget
Sound. Preliminary design of the plat roadway and drainage systems indicates that stormwater
runoff from the site will continue to discharge at the current, natural location. Additionally, a
narrow strip of 28th A venue South, along the western edge of the project site, drains to the north
and west into Steel Lake. Street improvements within 28th A venue will increase the amount of
impervious area that drains to Steel Lake. The increase in impervious area does not warrant
additional flow control or water quality treatment facilities; however, the developer's engineer
has agreed to install a small water quality treatment facility in the lowest downstream catch
basin, if, during final engineering design that it is determined to be necessary.
Stormwater design and plat drainage elements must conform to the standards, policies, and
practices of the City of Federal Way's Public Works Development standards, and the City of
Federal Way's Surface Water Management Division as outlined in the 1998 KCSWDM, the
Comprehensive Suiface Water Management Plan, and the Stormwater System Operation and
Maintenance Manual. The approved storm drainage facilities must be constructed per City code
requirements prior to final plat approval and recording of the subdivision.
x. ANALYSIS OF PRELIMINARY PLAT DECISIONAL CRITERIA
The FWCC establishes review procedures and decisional criteria for deciding upon various types of
land use applications. Pursuant to FWCC Chapter 22, "Hearing Examiner's Decision," Section 22-
445; and pursuant to FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions," Section 20-110; preliminary plat
applications are submitted to the Hearing Examiner for public hearing. The preliminary plat
application and the recommendation of the Hearing Examiner are submitted to the City Council for
approval or disapproval.
Hearing Examiner Preliminary Plat Decisional Criteria - Pursuant to FWCC Section 20-126(c), the
Hearing Examiner may recommend approval of the proposed preliminary plat only if the following
decisional criteria are met. Decisional criteria and staff responses are provided below.
1. The project is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Staff Comment: The application is subject to the adopted Federal Way Comprehensive Plan
(FWCP), which designates the property as Single-Family - High-Density. The proposed land
use of a Single-Family housing development is permitted is consistent with density allowances
and policies applicable to this land use as established in the FWCP.
However, the application is NOT consistent with Chapter 9.3 of the Comprehensive Plan,
"Geologic Hazardous Areas. " Goal NEG9 states: "Adopt standards to ensure against the loss
of both public and private property in geologically hazardous areas. "In Policy NEP55 of that
Chapter, it further states: "as slopes increase, development intensity, site coverage, and
vegetation removal should decrease and thereby minimize drainage problems, soil erosion,
siltation, and landslides. Slopes of 40 percent or more should be retained in a natural state,free
of structures and other land surface modifications. "The proposed design of this plat does not
adhere to either the goal or policy of that chapter of the comprehensive plan.
2. The project is consistent with all applicable provisions of the chapter, including those
adopted by reference from the comprehensive plan.
Staff EvaJuation
Steel Lake Crest Preliminary Plat
File 07-103897-00-SU/Doc.I.D. 47633
Page ] ]
Staff Comment: The preliminary plat application is required to comply with the provisions of
the FWCC Chapter 18, "Environmental Policy"; Chapter 20, "Subdivisions"; Chapter 22,
"Zoning"; and all other applicable codes and regulations. As proposed, to mass grade the site
and create lots that require extensive grading on slopes exceeding 15% does not comply with the
provisions of Chapter 20, "Subdivisions", Section 20-179, "Retention of V egetation." The
applicant has identified that some areas have slopes up to 40%, some of which were created
during grading for the existing homes. The grading and clearing plan shows significant cuts and
fills but does not disclose where retaining walls would be placed to create buildable lots for the
homes. For these reasons, the proposed subdivision does not meet the criteria of the codes listed.
3. The project is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare.
Staff Comment: The proposed etJ~ tmt..,in~ preliminary plat would permit development of
the site consistent with the current Single-Family High-Density land use classification of the
FWCP and map. Proposed access and fire hydrant locations must meet all requirements of South
King Fire and Rescue, and all future structures are required to be sprinklered. Future
development of the plat in accordance with applicable codes and regulations will ensure
protection ofthe public health, safety, and welfare.
4. It is consistent with the design criteria listed in FWCC Section 20-2.
Staff Comment: The proposed preliminary plat would promote the purposes identified in FWCC
Section 20-2 and the standards and regulations therein, as identified in the staff report, including
effective use ofland, promotion of safe and convenient travel on streets, provision for the
housing needs of the community, protection of environmentally sensitive areas, and preservation
of a portion of the site as common open space. As proposed, and with conditions as
recommended by City staff, the preliminary plat application complies with all provisions of the
chapter.
5. It is consistent with the development standards listed in FWCC Sections 20-151 through
157, and 20-158 through 187.
Staff Comment: As proposed, the preliminary plat application does not comply with all
applicable statutes, codes, and regulations. The proposed mass grading of the site will allow:
· Extensive grading on slopes over 15%;
· Clear and grade outside of proposed infrastructure improvement areas;
· Is not consistent with the requirements of Section 20-179 of the Code.
Planning and Public Works staff have met with the applicant to discuss these issues. Public
Works staff offered suggestions on how to revise the layout and design of the plat in order to
minimize the grading needed. Some of the suggestions were to: cluster development of houses in
areas without steep slopes; eliminate some of the lots with the steepest slopes within the interior
of the loop road and use that area for development of the required open space area; increase lot
sizes; adjust road grades; or do as the code requires, to only grade the individual lots at building
permit stage. The applicant has chosen to proceed without implementing any of these ideas.

XI. FINDINGS OF FACT
Based on an analysis of the preliminary plat application, environmental record, and related decisional
criteria, the Department of Community Development Services finds that:
1. The proposal is to subdivide 6.77 acres into a 28-10t single-family residential housing
development project.
2. The proposed single-family residential subdivision is consistent with existing Federal Way
zoning and comprehensive plan designations for the RS-7.2/Single-Family High-Density zoning
di stri ct.
3. City staff received and responded to written comments received from neighbors regarding
potential impacts on the neighborhood from increased traffic and removal of significant trees.
The comments were considered in the environmental determination on the project.
4. A Mitigated Environmental Determination ofNonsignificance (MDNS) was issued for this
proposed action on October 4,2008, based on the Staff Evaluation of Environmental Checklist.
One comment letter was received regarding the proposed development. No appeals of the
environmental determination were filed with the City.
5. The preliminary plat was reviewed and determined to be consistent with most of the subdivision
decisional criteria set forth in FWCC Section 20, including consistency with the comprehensive
plan; consistency with the public health, safety, and welfare; and, consistency with the design
criteria listed in FWCC Section 20-151-157; and many of the criteria in FWCC 20-176-185.
However, because of the proposed grading of the site, it is not consistent with FWCC Section
20-179.
6. Lot sizes for the 28 housing parcels range from 7,203 square feet to 8,995 square feet, with an
average lot size of7,39tsquare feet. This does not include areas set aside as landscaping tracts,
dedicated rights-of-way, storm drainage facilities, open space, and the pedestrian pathway.
7. The applicant's proposed grading plan clears the majority of the site, including 78% of the 87
existing significant trees, in conjunction with installation of stormwater facilities and roadway
and utility construction. Fifty-four significant trees are located on individual lots that would
normally be preserved until building permit review stage. City staff does not support the
proposed mass clearing and grading of the site due to the fact that a majority of the existing
vegetation will be removed, slopes will be extensively regraded, and proposed houses in the
center and north side of the proposed plat will likely require significant retaining walls to
maintain slope stability. These aspects of the proposed plat are not consistent with FWCC 20-
179. Ifhowever, the Council approves the proposal as submitted, the plat will be subject to
review of a final grading plan and subject to all conditions of preliminary plat approval. A TESC
will be required as part of the engineering plan submittal to eliminate erosion and aesthetic
Issues.
8. The applicant's significant tree inventory indicates that nineteen (19) significant trees will be
retained within the proposed grading limits. The 19 plus 11 more evergreen replacement trees
are proposed to be installed sporadically on some of the lots within the plat. Landscaping will be
provided along main roads and in conjunction with development of common open space areas.
9. The development proposes to install more vegetation in some common open space in the
planting strip along the internal loop road. The privately maintained open space includes a
Staff Evaluation

File 07-103897-00-SU/Doc:.I.D. 47633
Page 13
landscaped pedestrian corridor, and landscaping buffers along 28th A venue South and Military
Road South. The proposed housing development is subject to review of final landscape plans as
a condition of preliminary plat approval.
10. The applicant submitted a concurrency application that was processed by the City's Traffic
Engineer. The report found that the proposed development will impact 9 of the City's
Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) projects with one or more PM peak hour trips, and as a
result, $39,790.00 in pro-rata mitigation must be paid to address any failures of the City's Level
of Service (LOS) standard prior to final plat approval. City staff concurs with this mitigation as-a
recommended condition of preliminary plat approval.
11. Vehicular access into the housing development will be available off of 28th Avenue South. Plat
layout provides for good vehicle and pedestrian circulation in accordance with all applicable
right-of-way improvement requirements. In accordance with the FWCC, all street improvements
along 28th Avenue South must be dedicated and improved to current street standards, while
landscaping improvements along Military Road South adjacent to the paved pedestrian pathway.
The internal driveway width of 28 feet is satisfactory for the housing development. The City's
Traffic Engineer has reviewed the project and concluded that the proposed street layout is
consistent with the adopted codes and comprehensive plan in place at the time of the complete
application.
12. Prior to final plat approval, traffic mitigation in the amount of $39.790 shall be paid to the City.
13. The applicant provided a school access analysis that indicates that the site will generate between
20 to 21 new school students that will be served by Federal Way High School, Wildwood
Elementary School, and Sacajawea Middle School. High school students from the plat will be
required to walk to school. Elementary and middle school students will be bused from existing
nearby stops, or new and additional stops as the district may determine appropriate for the
conditions. School impact fees will be assessed and paid to the School District with individual
building permits.
14. Design and construction of surface drainage facilities in accordance with the 1998 KCSWDM
and recommended conditions of preliminary plat approval, will ensure that all potential erosion,
surface water runoff, water quality, and infiltration/storage-related impacts are addressed. The
applicant's TIR was reviewed and accepted by the City's Public Works Deparbnent subject to
final engineering review. Storm drainage facilities generally consist of infiltration trenches,
pervious pavement, and a storm drainage pond.
15. The preliminary plat application was reviewed for consistency with all applicable state and local
codes, policies and regulations, including the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP);
Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapters 18, "Environmental Policy"; 19, "Planning and
Development"; 20, "Subdivisions"; 21, "Surface and Stormwater Management"; Chapter 22,
Article IV "Improvements"; Article XVII "Landscaping,"; the 1998 King County Surface Water
Design Manual; and Federal Way Development Standards. As proposed and recommended by
staff, the preliminary plat is NOT consistent all elements of the Comprehensive Plan,
specifically, Chapter 9.3, 'Geological Hazardous Areas", Goal NEG9, and Policy NEP55 as
outlined above; and, the proposed plat in NOT consistent with the FWCC, specifically Section
20-179.

16. Water and sewer facilities are available from Lakehaven Utility District and are adequate to
serve the proposed development. It is the applicant's responsibility to secure all necessary water
and sewer services from the utility provider.
XII. RECOMMENDATION
Based on review of the applications, environmental record, and pertinent decisional criteria, the
Department of Community Development Services recommends that the Hearing Examiner
recommend DENIAL of the preliminary plat.
If, however, the Examiner chooses to recommend approval, City staff recommends the following
conditions be attached to such approval:
1. Prior to the City's approval of engineering plans, the applicant shall provide a detailed design for
clearing and grading for the entire site. The applicant may be required to provide additional
bonding or maintenance provisions for methods not currently approved by the 1998 KCSWDM.
2. Final plat approval shall require full compliance with drainage provisions set forth in the FWCC.

I have reviewed the Preliminary Plat documents for Steel Lake Crest Preliminary Plat and have one
major concern.
The city's evaluation of this project, as designed, has an unacceptable site distance looking south on
28th Avenue South from the North Access Drive.
I live on 27th Avenue South, just North of 304th, and drive 28th Avenue South virtually every day. I
know that the hill facing the proposed plat Is something of a speedway, both Northbound and
I Southbound. The proposed center turn lane along the length of the project doesn't solve the site
distance problem. If the project were built as designed, there would be a bunch of accidents waiting

SUBJECT: Notice of Land Use Application
Steel Lake Crest Preliminary Plat
My wife and I own the property directly across 28th Ave. So. (30615 28th Ave. So.)
that has the longest front footage that faces the proposed plat.
We purchased our home 30 years ago when it was approximately 2 years old. At the
time, it was sold as an "executive" home with approximately 2500 square feet and a
beautiful view of Steel Lake. We were in a rural part of unincorporated King County
where our neighbors had farm ~nimals (Le. horses, chickens, etc.). Traffic on 28th Ave.
So. was relatively minor.
During the 30 years we have lived here we have sadly watched the road get busier and
busier every year to the point where there is a constant stream of traffic that makes it
extremely noisy and, at times, almost unsafe to merge into it in order to exit our home.
The obvious lack of growth management which, by the way, I remember as being one of
the campaign reasons Federal Way should become a city, has, in my opinion,. caused
much of the congestion that plagues this city. When people ask me where I live I tell
them I live in a suburb of Seattle, hoping they won't ask the name of the city because I'm
embarrassed to say Federal Way.
From my observations there are now 4 homes and lots of trees that will become 29
homes and, if they do what they normally do, no trees. This area, as it now exists, at least
has some scenic beauty and is a noise buffer to Interstate 5.
In the "Description" you state "The project includes street improvements, construction
of storm drainage facilities, and utility improvements". What kind of "street
improvements" do you mean? Do you plan to make 28th Ave. So. a 4 lane road by
widening it so that it will be touching the edge of my garage? There is no logical way
you can "improve" 28th Ave. So. other than to reduce the volume of vehicle traffic using
it. Do you plan to put a stop light on 28th Ave. So. so these new home owners can enter
and exit their property without getting broadsided? If you do that, 28th Ave. So. traffic
will stack up at the stop light which will further congest the road and the rest of us will
never be able to enter the road. If the "street improvement" is to repave the road or to
maintain the road aren't those things that are already being done?
I firmly believe that somebody needs to look at this, not from the standpoint of a
developer looking to make a buck, but from the standpoint oftbe citizens of Federal
Way, especially those of us that live in close proximity to it.
EXliIB!T p....~

To show you how serious I am about this issue, I will retract this letter if somebody
will pay me the fair market value for my home. As a matter of fact, I will sell my home
immediately and vacate it within 30 days even if it means putting all my possessions in
storage. People have told me that I am wasting my time writing this letter since nobody
will probably even bother to read it and, if they do, nobody cares or will do anything
anyway. They may be right, but I look at it like an election, it's harder to complain about
the results if you didn't bother to vote.

RE: File #07-103898-00-SE; RESPONSE TO COMMENTS
Steel Lake Crest Preliminary Plat, 30642 28th Avenue South, Federai Way
Dear Mr. Freimuth:
I am a Senior Planner with the City of Federal Way and have been given the above-referenced case to take
through the public review process. I am writing in response to comments you submitted on this project when the
Notice of Application was published in 2007. At that time, staff copied and distributed those comments to the
Public Works Dept. and the applicant's engineer for evaluation and response. Your concerns were basically
about the increase in traffic on 28111 Avenue South and the potential need to widen the road to four (4) lanes. I
would like to make sure that you understand the current status of the proposed plat.
This plat configuration has gone through a few design changes over the past year. As you mayor may not
know, the present right-of-way width on 2SII1 Avenue South is 60 feet. City Code does not require 2SII1
Avenue South to be widened to four lanes, as you had suggested. However, the Public Works Dept. has
determined that the applicant will be required to dedicate nine additional feet of right-of-way on the east side
of 28th Avenue to provide half-street frontage improvements along the face of the plat. Also, to meet sight
distance requirements, the Traffic Division has required that the northerly entrance to the plat be eliminated
because there was not adequate site distance at that location and there is now only one entrance into the plat,
at the south end of the property.
As an adjacent property owner, you should have received both a notice of the Mitigated Determination of
Nonsignificance (MONS) issued for this plat and a notice that the plat has recently been scheduled for a
public hearing before the Hearing Examiner at 11 :00 AM on November 17, 200S. If you attend the hearing,
you will be able to voice your concerns before the Examiner or you are entitled to submit additional written
comments to the Examiner as stated in the notice for the public hearing.
I hope this additional information helps you understand how the plat design has changed and why. If you
have any questions, please contact me at 253-S35-2640.

The Responsible Official of the City of Federal VVay hereby makes the following decision on this
proposed development based upon impacts identified in the environmental checklist; a Subsurface
Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Report, prepared by Jason Engineering & Consulting
Business, Inc. June 20, 2007; Technical Information Report, Preliminary Drainage Review for Steel Lake
Crest, prepared by Schweikl & Associates, July 2007 and revised May 2008; Environmental Noise

plans, rules, and regulations designated as a basis for exercise of substantive authority under the State
ETTVironmental Policy Act Rules (SEPA) pursuant to the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 43.31C.060.
The lead agency for this proposal has determined that it does not have a probable significant adverse
impact on the environment and an environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under RCVV
43.21 C.030(2)( c), if the conditions listed below are met. This decision was made afterreview of a

FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The proposal is to subdivide 6.77 acres into 28 single-family residential lots. The proposal includes
c'onstruction of a stormwater detention pond; installation of landscaping tracts along Military Road
South and along 28th Avenue South; construction of a paved pedestrian pathway to Military Road
South; mass clearing and grading of the site with approximately 17, 000 cubic yards of earth
movement; removal of approximately 55 significant trees; and demolition of all existing structures.
2. The four parcels are in an area zoned RS 7.2, requiring a minimum lot size of7,200 square feet.
Parcels in the development range from 7,203 square feet to 8,995 square feet. The comprehensive
plan designation in this area is High Density Single Family Residential.
'" .
3. The project is located adjacent to the 1-5 right-of-way. Seven of the proposed lots, the detention pond,
and part of the pedestrian pathway will be located adjacent to the 1-5 corridor. In accordance with
code requirements, an Environmental Noise Study was conducted by SSA Acoustics, LLP on June I,
2007. The noise study identified Housing and Urban Development (HUn) standards for noise levels
outside and inside of residential housing. Specifically, the Department of Housing and Urban
Development Noise Standards consider outdoor Day-Night Average Sound Levels (Ldn) below 65
dBA "acceptable" and the indoor Day-Night Average Sound Level (Ldn) goal is to not exceed 45
dBA. Normal construction can be expected to provide a Noise Level Reduction (NLR) of 20 dB, thus
the indoor goal ofLdn less than 45 dBA can be met when the outdoor Ldn is less than 65 dBA. The
study identified that the Day-Night Average Noise Level (Ldn) ranged from 67 to 69 dBA. The
hourly average noise levels exceeded 56 dBA during the entire four day noise monitor, with a
maximum 24 hour Leq of 66 dBA and an average Leq of 62 dBA. The exterior day-night noise levels
exceed the recommended HOD guidelines; therefore, mitigation measures will be necessary.
4. Currently, there are 52 trees on the seven lots bordering the 1-5 corridor; 30 of these trees are
significant trees. Twelve of the 52 trees will be saved and two will be replaced, for a total of 14 trees
on the east boundary of the plat. In accordance with code requirements, the applicant submitted a
Significant Tree Inventory with a Tree Replacement Plan to address the requirement of maintaining at
least 25% of the significant trees on the site. The tree plan meets the minimum standards for tree
replacement, but the function of providing any buffering from the noise and glare of lights from the
interstate highway has been severely reduced.
5. The Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Report, prepared by Jason Engineering
Inc., identified that in the process of boring test pits for soils analysis, buried debris was encountered
in Test Pit #6, which corresponds to proposed Lots 4 and 5 of the preliminary plat. The scope of work
did not entail an environmental assessment of the site and the test pit was a small bore to 8-10 feet
only. The materials found in that area were old tires, building and/or wood debris, and fill materials. It
is not known what the size of the buried debris area is or the exact content of th~ buried debris.
Mitigation will be required to excavate and assess the area to determine whether any hazardous
materials are found in the burial site and before the proposed mass clearing and grading takes place.
6. The "Final Staff Evaluation for Environmental Checklist, File No. 07-t63'89l-00-SE" is hereby
incorporated by reference as though set forth in full. ' I () H~ ~
CONCLUSIONS OF LAw
Federal Way's comprehensive plan policies adopted by Federal Way, and contained within the Federal
Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP), serve as a basis for the exercise of substantive SEP A authority to

approve, condition, or deny proposed actions applicable to potential adverse environmental impacts
resulting from this project. The following components of the FWCP support the conditions for the
development.
NEG 1: To preserve the City's natural systems in order to protect public health, safety, and
welfare, and to maintain the integrity of the natural environment.
NEP I: Protect and restore environmental quality through land use plans, surface water
management plans and programs, comprehensive park plans, and development review.
NEP2: Preserve and restore ecological functions, and enhance natural beauty, by encouraging
community development patterns and site planning that maintains and complements
natural landforms.
NEP3: To the maximum extent practical, the City's future actions will be consistent with the
goals and policies of this chapter of the FWCP.
NEP4: The City should work in concert with internal departments, state, and regional
agencies, as well as with neighboringjurisdictions and tribes, to protect sensitive areas
and the City's natural environment.
NEGI2: Develop programs and/or regulations to address noise pollution in all areas of the City.
NEP71: The City should develop and adopt construction standards to mitigate noise generated
by SeaTac Airport and Interstate 5, as well as other major arterials.
SEPA CONDmONS
Based on the above policies, the following mitigation measures are required to minimize identified
potential significant adverse impacts:
1. If mass clearing and grading is approved for the preliminary plat as proposed, then the area of Test Pit
#6 (proposed Lots 4 and 5), as identified in the Geotechnical Engineering Report, shall be excavated
to determine the contents and extent of an identified debris burial. Ifhazardous or significant solid
waste materials are discovered, then the applicant shall work with the King County Department of
Solid Waste and the Washington State Department of Ecology to clean up the site and properly
dispose of the debris before commencing the clearing and grading for the rest of the development site.
2. To meet HUD criteria for noise levels acceptable for residential development and to mitigate potential
impacts of noise from Interstate 5 to the development and the surrounding community, the following
mitigation measures are recommended by SSA Acoustics, LLP in the Environmental Noise Study
conducted June 1,2007:
a) Exterior Construction Mitigation
Standard construction methods that meet current energy code requirements provide a Noise Level
Reduction (NLR) of20 dB, which is adequate for exterior LOO levels that are 65 dBA or less.
Since the exterior LOO levels are above 65 dBA, additional construction methods are necessary to
meet the interior Ldn of 45 dBA. To achieve the 45 dBA LOO requirement, the exterior envelopes
(walls, windows, doors) of the residential units must be constructed to provide a 2SdB Noise
Level Reduction (NLR). (See attached Table 2.)

EXHI8IT~
PAGE a OF~
b) Noise Barrier Mitigation
To provide noise barrier mitigation to meet the exterior noise level condition, and thus the interior
noise condition, a noise barrier shall be constructed between Interstate 5 and the proposed
residences. The goal is to reduce the outdoor noise level by 5 to 7 dB, resulting in a 62 to 64 dBA
Ldn, which meets the HUD 65 dBA Ldn Exterior Noise Standard. In turn, the reduction of the
outdoor day-night average noise level to 65 dBA or less with normal construction would result in
an indoor day-night noise level of 45 dBA or less. The sound attenuation characteristics of a noise
barrier are based on the geometry of the barrier relative to the source and receiver locations and
the frequency of the source noise. .
This MDNS is issued under WAC 197-11-340(2). The lead agency will not act on this proposal for 14
days from the date below. Comments must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on October 20, 2008.
Unless modified by the City, this determination will become final following the above comment deadline.
Any person aggrieved of the City's fmal determination may file an appeal with the City within 14 days of
the above comment deadline. You may appeal this determination to the Federal Way City Clerk, no later
than 5:00 p.m. on October 31, 2008, by a letter stating the reason for the appeal of the determination.
You should be prepared to make specific factual objections.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ACTION AND BACKGROUND
Applicants submitted a preliminary plat application to develop 28 single-family residential lots on four
existing lots totaling 6.77 acres. The applicants will be required to construct an 18, 449 stormwater
detention pond in the northeast corner of the plat; a 329 square foot landscaping tract along Military Road
South; a 3,364 square foot and an 868 square foot landscaping buffer along the front of 28th Avenue South;
and a 3,661 square foot pedestrian pathway to connect to Military Road South. The applicants propose
significant grading on site, thus removing a majority of the vegetation, excluding many significant trees.
STAFF EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Following are staff responses to the elements of the environmental checklist (attached) indicating whether
or not City staff concurs with the applicant's response to the checklist item, or staff clarification or
amendment of the response.
A. BACKGROUND
1-3. Concur with the checklist.
4. First checklist completed July 11,2007, but revised May 30, 2008, after reviewed by the Public
Works and Planning staff.
5-9. Concur with the checklist.
10. Applicant's agent responded that additional government approvals were: final plat approval;
right-of-way permit for road improvements; a WSDOT Discharge Permit; a NPDES permit from
the Department of Ecology; and building permits for individual residential structures. The agent
did not include a potential right-of-way permit from WSDOT for location of the pond and
pedestrian pathway; a Forest Practice Permit from the Department of Natural Resources; and a
demolition permit to remove the existing structures.
B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. Earth
a. Concur with the checklist.
b. Originally stated slopes were 9%, but after review of topographic information, it was
determined that there were some areas where slopes were around 50%, although the
applicant stated this was the result of previous on-site grading.
c-d. Concur with the checklist.
e. The applicant proposes to do a mass grading of the site to even out slopes and fill from
previous development on the site. The Federal Way City Code (FWCC) states that grading
should be kept to a minimum to allow for the placement of the infrastructure such as roads

and utility lines. Also, FWCC 20. 179( c) states that, "lots created on slopes of 15% or
greater shall minimize grading and shall not result in extensive use of retaining walls.
Slopes are to be measured in their natural state." The applicant's agent states that in order
to construct the infrastructure and pond, the site needs to be severely graded to allow this to
happen. However, the applicant has not addressed the fact that there are slopes of 15% and
greater on some areas of the property and the proposal includes significant grading in these
areas. These issues will be addressed by city code. Finally, test pit exploration identified a
source of fill on proposed Lots 4 and 5 was buried debris such as scrap wood, used tires,
and other fill materials. The extent and full content of the buried debris is not known at this
time. The applicant's agent said excavation of all buried materials will take place prior to .
the grading project taking place. r d ~
f-g. Concur with the checklist. /()A ~p W ' .
h. Do not concur with the checklist. The erosion control plan needs to bel.esigned and
submitted for review and approval as part of preliminary plat approval. The fmal plan
needs to be submitted, reviewed, approved, and installed during the engineering review and
BEFORE final plat approval.
2. Air
a-b. Concur with the checklist.
c. Concur with the checklist. The comment says watering will be utilized. However, since this
project is proposing to do mass grading and is located between a residential neighborhood
and the 1-5 corridor, a watering truck should be kept on site during the entire grading
process to assure that particulate matter does not affect visibility on the highway or
adversely impact ambient air quality in the neighborhood.
3. Water
a.I. Concur with checklist with the addition that project lies within 200 feet of Steel Lake, a
shoreline of significance. Because the applicant is required to construct frontage
improvements within the right-of-way, a small portion of the project will take place within
200 feet of the shoreline. Because the area of the improvements was not considered
consequential, the applicant was granted a shoreline exemption for the required road
improvements.
a.2-6 Concur with the checklist.
. b.1. Concur with the checklist.
b.2. The existing three homes have on-site septic systems. At time of demolition and before any
mass clearing and grading can take place on these parcels, the septic systems must be
decommissioned by a licensed practitioner and removed in accordance with King County
Health Department guidelines.
c-d. Concur with the checklist.
4. Plants
a-d. Concur with the checklist.
5. Animals
a. Do not concur with the checklist. The applicant listed no known birds or animals on or
near the site. However, the proposal lies within 200 feet of Steel Lake, a shoreline of
significance, which is stocked with trout and/or game fish every year by the Department of
Fish and Wildlife. In addition, water fowl are on or within Steel Lake Park that are mostly
resident species.

the species being planted. They were not required to provide habitat areas for wildlife.
6. Energy and Natural Resources
a-c. Concur with the checklist.
7. Environmental Health
a. Do not concur with the checklist. Preliminary exploration has identified there is
construction debris located in the north end of the properties. The full extent of the debris
area or contents is not known at this time. The area must be excavated and debris taken off
site before any significant grading or clearing taking place on the property. Ifhazardous
materials are discovered in the burial site, then the debris must be properly disposed of in
accordance with King County Solid Waste Department and possibly Washington State
Department of Ecology guidelines.
b. Do no concur with the checklist. The noise study identified two choices for the applicant:
build a large berm or retaining structure; or require that the houses be constructed of
soundproofing materials. The applicant has not specified which will be constructed.
8. Land and Shoreline Use
a-c. Concur with the checklist.
d. Three houses, one shed, a barn, a swimming pool~ and three septic tanks will all be
demolished and removed from the site.

a-c. Concur with the checklist.
10. Aesthetics
a-c. The height limit in this zone is 30 feet. If on a slope, the height is measured as an average
of the uphill grade to the proposed basement grade, and the average cannot exceed 30 feet.
The applicant will be designing a number of homes with daylight basements on areas with
slopes. The height of each structure will be addressed during building permit review.
11. Light and Glare
a-c. Concur with the checklist.
d. With the removal of a significant number of trees on the properties, any buffering from the
glare of lights from the 1-5 corridor will be significantly reduced. There will be eight of 52
existing trees retained on the seven lots bordering the 1-5 corridor.
12. Recreation
a-c. Concur with the checklist.
13. Historic and Cultural Preservation
a-b. Concur with the checklist.
c. If any cultural items are uncovered during excavation, clearing, and grading, the local tribes
should be notified, in addition to the Washington State Historical & Archeological Society.

14. Transportation
a-g. Concur with the checklist.
15. Public Services
a-b. Construction of25 additional houses in a residential neighborhood will add impacts to
public services for fire, police, and utility use. Such construction will also generate new
students in the school system, additional use of parks, and increased traffic and use of
streets. The applicant will be required to address school impacts and pay fees as requested
by the school district at final plat stage. The use of parks and open space were reviewed at
preliminary stage and will be assessed as part of the building permit process and any open
space requirements will be paid before final plat approval. Traffic impacts and street
improvements have been addressed during the preliminary review and improvements will
be required to be put in place during engineering review of the plat.
16. Utilities
a-b. Concur with the checklist.
CONCLUSION
The lead agency for this proposal has determined that the proposal for a residential subdivision project does
not have probable significant adverse impact on the environment and an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.032(2)(c). This decision was made after review ofa completed
environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency. The information is available to
the public upon request. The City reserves the right to review any future revisions or alterations to the site or
the proposal in order to determine the environmental significance or nonsignificance of the project at that
point in time.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Chapter 43.21C,
requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making
decisions. An environmental impact statement (EIS) 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 EIS is required.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ApPLICANTS
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about our proposal.
Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal
are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. 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 qllC'stions 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 ifthere may be significant
adverse impact.
USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NON-PROJECT 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," arid "property
or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively.

B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
I. EARTH
a. General description ofthe site (circle one): flat, rolling, hiIly, steep slopes, mountainous, other.
The best general description of the site would be continuous sloping, with an average slope
of 9.5% from the southwest corner to the northeast corner. f\\ '
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
There are a couple of small areas where the slopes exceed 50% on thp. ~i(e. These areas are
not naturally occurring, but are a manmade ~of filling from the corresponding on-site
residences. The grading plan for the proposed project will eliminate all of these areas.
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.
~ \to
Per the 2005 City of Federal Way Regional Soils Map, which is based on information ij
presented in the 1973 Soil Conservation Service Survey of King County, Alderwood gravelly .1\ V::~)'\.
sandy loam type soils are mapped for the project site. The western one-half of the project is (0'1
comprised of Alderwood (AgB) soils and the eastern half of the project has Alderwood
(Age) soils. Both soil types are Hydrologic Soils Group (HSG) C. Field investigation ha0.'.~

any of the project site visits and there is no history of any that have been discovered.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed.
Indicate source offill.
The project obtained the services of Earthwork Services, Inc. to calculate preliminary
earthwork quantities. Their report dated May 2, 2007, is based 'on a preliminary grading
plan completed by Schweikl & Associates, and concludes that the project wlll be a cut site.
Calculated values are U ,~21 ell hi~ ya nil! of cut, 1 '1,404 cubic yards of fill and 5,152 cubic
yards of strippinas. Further refinement of the grading plan is possible in attempting to
create a balanced site. The contractor should also attempt to ~~ stri@Piogs on-site..
where ever possible. If off-. tructural fiU material becomes necessary, the material
would be taken from th closet vailable source at the time of project construction.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
As with any glacial till soil there is the possibility of erosion when disturbed by
construction activities, especially with the use of heavy construction equipment on
uncompacted materiaL The site is required to prepare and ~II an erosion control pia!!
that wlll be reviewed and approved by the City of Federal Way to address the possibility of
erosion.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction
(for example, asphalt or buildings)?
The project is proposing a maximum impervious coverage of 53.6% using the modeling
-
criteria from the King County Storm Water Design Manual.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any.
As part of the ~al :Zian plan, the project is required to prepare and install an Erosion!
Sedimentation on rol Plan. . The plan, which is reviewed and approved by the Ci~ of
Federal Way, will address the issue of erosion and pRWide m~II-' to -.luce and/or
minimize its effects. Among the proposed measures included in the Erosion/Sedimentation
Control Plan will be a temporary rock construction entrance, siltation fencing, catch basin
-~
sediment protection, interceptor swales, sediment traps, straw bales, mulching and
hydroseeding. Also included with the plan is a recommended construction sequence and a
copy of the City of Federal Way's standard erosion/sedimentation control notes. It is the
responsibility of the contractor to adhere to the plan and maintain in a functional manner
all erosion control facilities.
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 if known.
The grading activities proposed at the site wlll cause dust particulate to be emitted to the air.
Vehicles and equipment used during all phases of construction can be a potential source of
emissions. When the project is completed, the site wlll generate emissions that are typical of
any other modern residential neighborhood. Vehicle emissions from the residents
automobiles, emissions from lawn and landscaping maintenance equipment, certified wood
stoves and/or fire places, furnaces, barbeques, etc, are all pot~ntial sources of air emissions.
Bulletin #050 - December 22, 2005
Page 5 0 \Environmental Checklist
PAGE-ULOF ~
However, the quantities are unknown.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally
describe.
Vehicles using 28th Avenue South and Interstate 5, adjacent to the sites west and east
boundaries respectively, can be a source of emissions or odor. However, it is not anticipated
that these off-site vehicle sources of emissions will impact this proposal. There are no other
known sources of odor or emissions in the vicinity.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any. 0 '
Unwanted dust particulate can be controlled to a certain extent by the application of water '~j~vj;J.i '~~~
before and during grading activities. Also, by keeping the temporary construction entrances \y
clean and functioning properly, along with regular street sweeping of 28tb Avenue South, ~ .
dust generated from displaced material on roadways can be kept to a minimum. It is.
assumed the construction vehicles used will be equipped with factory-installed mii~ and
-
spark arresters that would control excessive emissions.
3. WATER
a. Surface.
I) 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.
There are no surface water bodies or wetlands located on the site. There are
however, two lakes in the vicinity of the project. To the west, across the 28t1a Avenue
South right-of-way is Steel Lake. At its closest point, the lake is approximately 200
feet from the extreme northwest comer of the proposed site. East of the site, across
the 1-5 right-of-way lies Dolloff Lake. From the northeast corner of the site it is
approximately 1,000 feet to the northwest portion of the lake.
2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described .1;)
waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans. . rr ,
_ ~ ~J)N-
Yes. The project is required by the City of Federal Way to do halfstreet frontage (}f' t~
improvements on 28th Avenue South, and a portion of these improvements will fall {JP;~ ',,vI\
within 200 feet of Steel Lake. Approximately 40 linear feet of vertical curb, 200 rV~;.fi
square feet of concrete sidewalk and 40 square yards of asphalt paving, along with \Al V, - (.
extending an existing storm drainage pipe 10 feet will occur within the 200 foot ~~ 1 fI1 ~ hpi'
boundary of the lake. This work is all off-site of the proposed project, only a small ~VVoJ ~)J'
amount of landscaping (10 square yards) and some minor grading (less than 10
cubic yards of on-site movement) actually occur on-site and within 200 feet of the
lake.
3) Estimate the amount offill 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 offill material.
No till or dredge material will be placed or removed from either of the lakes.

4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description,
purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
None anticipated. Both lakes receive storm water runoff from the site as part of the
existing drainage system. The proposed project will continue its natural discharge to
these water bodies per the City of Federal Way's Storm Water Drainage Manual.
5) Does the proposal lie within a IOO-year floodplain? If so, note location on the site plan.
No, the project does not lie within a 100 year floodplain.
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.
No
b. Ground.
I) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to groundwater? Give general
description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
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.
There are no proposed discharges of waste material to the ground from any source.
The site proposes a low pressure forced main sanitary sewer collection system for all
lots and conveyance to the existing Lakehaven Utility District gravity sanitary sewer
line at South 309th Street. From there the emuent is conveyed to an off site treatment
facility. Currently the existing ryidnees haye prhzAtp on-site septic systems. The
project proposes to have these residences removed, at that time the ~teps will be
taken to abandon their septic systems.
t/'
~
c. Water Runoff (including stormwater)
I) Describe the source of runoff (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.
This project has the somewhat uncommon situation where it actually falls within two
separate drainage basins. Essentially the off-site portion of the project (the 28th
Avenue S~uth right-of-way) is part of the Lower Puget Sound drainage basin, and
the on-site portion is part of the Mill Creek drainage basin. Therefore runoff from
the project site is divided two ways. Stormwater runoff from the 28th Avenue South
half street frontage improvements will be collected, treated via a catch basin
filtersystem, and released to the existing conveyance system that discharges west into
Steel Lake. Runoff from the remainder of the site will be collected by means of a
tightline conveyance system to a proposed onsite stormwater detentionlwater quality
wetpond located in a separate tract at the northeast corner of the project site.

residential homes will be built and the new residents all could potentially be sources
for waste entering ground or surface water. Everything from poor handling of
landscaping products (chemicals and fertiliZers) to painting practices to leaky
automobiles and their care. To our knowledge, of the things that are under the
projects control, there are no other known sources of contaminants associated with
this proposal. The project wiD also be required to prepare plans for, obtain approval
of, and install a water quality facility operating in conjunction with a detention
system. The parameters of which are governed by the current surface water design .
manual adopted by the City of Federal Way.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any.
The project proposes to implement techniques consiste.nt w~.. ,e e City of Federal
Way's Storm Water Design Manual to minimize all impac~ stormwater
runoff. All on-site stormwater runoff generated from this project will be collected,
detained, and treated in a combined detention/water quality wetpond facility prior
to discharge. The wetpond discharge will be controlled per the design manual, to
discharge at a rate no greater than the predeveloped sit<<@rate of discharge. The
we. tponds outlet 10CatiOn~east into the Military. Ro~d South right-of-way, closely
approximates the on-sit atural discharge location. The designed overflow route
also follows this same pa . All of the projects' off-site generated stormwater runoff
wiD also be collected and treated. Treatment wiD be provided by settling in the
water quality storage in the detention facility. Runoff will then be released into the
existing stormwater conveyance system, where it flows west and discharges to Steel
Lake.

6. ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES
a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar) will be used to meet the
completed project's energy needs? Describe whether it will be used for heating, manufacturing,
etc.
The primary energy sources requi~d to meet the energy needs of the proposed plat is
electricity and natural gas. Sufficient amounts of which would be needed to maintain a
comfortable lifestyle and environment within the bounds of single family residential
dwellings.
b. Would your project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties? If so, generally
describe.
No, it is not anticipated that this project will affect the potential for adjacent properties to
use solar energy. The building heights will not exceed the maximum which is allowed in the

noise study be completed that documents freeway noise levels and identifies
appropriate measures to mitigate the impacts on the development. The project has
obtained the services of SSA Acoustics to prepare a site acoustical analysis.
2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project on a
short-term or long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction operation, other)? Indicate
what hours noise would come from the site.
During the short-term, construction activity at the project site can and will vary
considerably. In addition, because the noise produced on the site depends on the
equipment being used, the levels could easily vary from day to day. Maximum
construction noise levels can be expected to range from 65 to 89 dBA with an
average value of approximately 85 dBA. Minimum noise levels can be expected to
have a wider range of 57 to 88 dBA with an average value of 78 dBA (based on a
construction activity noise model, described in Noise from Construction Equipment
and Operations, Building Equipment, and Home Appliances). Noise associated with
construction operations on the site will occur roughly between the hours of 7:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and the possibility of some Saturdays.
Long-term noise impacts will result from increased vehicular tramc at the site and
from the average generated noise levels associated with a typical single-family
residential development.
3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, ifany.
Noise impacts associated with the construction phases of the project will be Iiinited
in duration. To mitigate general noise impacts during the grading phase, measures
such as using and regularly maintaining emcient mufflers and quieting devices on
all construction equipment and vehicles can be anticipated. No measures to mitigate
noise impacts during the building phase are proposed. Construction hours will be
limited to the normal workday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Proposed measures to mitigate noise generated by the nearby freeway should be
outlined in the site acoustical analysis being prepared by SSA Acoustics. Common
noise preventive building practices such as using s~ecial windows, extra insulation,
sound deadenin2 materials, etc may be used:--MOre passive measures including
choosing house plans that hinder the intrusion of noise, and locating theJ!omes on
the lots to best block sound from certain directions could be ORti<dlS. Also
landScaping and fencing techniques are other possibilities. -
8. LAND AND SHORELINE USE
a. What is the current use of the site and adjacent properties?
The current land use for the site is single family residential, however with only three
residences on the 6.72 acre site, it does not come close to the density allowed under the cities
zoning classification. The adjacent properties to the north, south and west all have the same
zoning and, except for the iIIejfally oPtIDltin~ comme~ial plumbin2 CQmpany located o~

adjacent parcels. All the surrounding parcels, along with the project site have a land use
designation of Single Family Residential.
9. HOUSING
a. Approximately how many units would be provided, if any? Indicate whether high, middle, or low-
income housing.
28 new middle to high income single-family residences will be provided by projects end
b. Approximately how many units, ifany, would be eliminated? Indicate whether high, middle, or
low-income housing.
The three existing middle income single family residences would be eliminated.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control housing impacts, if any.
The proposed plat will create housing consistent with the principals and mandates of the
Growth Management Act (GMA). The GMA strives to increase existing urban densities to
allow for the full utilization of existing utilities, services and infrastructure and to increase
the functionality of mass transit while protecting the rural environments from urban
sprawl.
10. AESTHETICS
a. What is the tallest height of any proposed structure(s), not including antennas; what is the
principal exterior building material(s) proposed?
The tallest structure will be two stories and less than 30 feet in height with a wood and/or vinyl
exterior. .
b. What views in the immediate vicinity would be altered or obstructed?
The project should not compromise the views from adjacent properties. The view of the
site, of course, will be altered to that of a single-family housing development. The required
landscape buffers along 28th Ave S and Military Road S, '
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any.
The proposed plat will include architecturally compatible homes built by a single builder
meeting the requirements of the City of Federal Way Building Guidelines. The interior
road will be built to the City of Federal Way's public road standards (Section W) and the
project proposes the creation of aesthetically pleasing fro'nt yard landscaping for the single-
family residences. 10 foot landscape buffers will provide screening between the
development and those traveling on the arterials adjacent to the project. Also, The Roper
Company (registered landscape architects) has been obtained to provide a landscape plan
for Steel Lake Crest. Included in this plan is landscaping and tree plantings for along the
adjacent street right-of-ways, landscaping of the detentionlwetpond tract and screening
landscaping for the landscape buffers.
11. LIGHT AND GLARE
would it mainly occur?
Light and glare is the result of reflective surfaces from the glazing and building materials,
exterior building lights, and street lights. During evening and night time hours, exterior
building lights and street lighting will be designed to minimize the dispersal of light beyond - ',.;"";
the project. Properly designed and placed lights, specifically chosen to illuminate target ~.f' d'\
areas with downward emitting luminaries, can be used to light intended areas without 'y' ~ '. .
having negative impacts on others. The occurrence of light impacts would be anticipated ~ ; I
from dusk to dawn. Some glare impacts may be present during the daytime associated \ \ V
primarily with normal residential window glazing. The impacts from glare may also occur '.~
seasonally.
b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard or interfere with views?
It is highly unlikely that glare or light from the project site will interfere with views, affect
wildlife, create safety problems, or have any other adverse impacts. The proposed project
will have the same accompanying light and glare impacts that are consistent with the other
adjacent residential developments. Streetlights and other outdoor lighting are intended to
promote safety rather than create a safety hazard.

Landscaping techniques can also be used to provide screening of light between homes, other
adjacent developments and vehicles as weD. The positive affects of light however, mainly
safety and security (especially at night), must be weighed when proposing measures to
control ~t.
12. RECREATION
a. What designated and informal recreational opnortunities are in the immediate vicinity?
Steel Lake Park, The Commons at Federal Way
b. Would the proposed displace any existing recreational uses? Ifso, describe.
No, the project will not displace any recreational opportunities
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts on recreation, including recreation opportunities
to be provided by the project or applicant, if any.
No measures are proposed, however the applicants will be paying a fee-in-Iieu-of providing
on-site open space which benefits the City of Federal Way Parks, Recreation and Cultural
Services (P ARCS) department.

13. HISTORIC AND CULTURAL PRESERVATION
Bulletin #050 - December 22, 2005
Page 14 of 17
k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist
a. Are there any places or objects listed on, or proposed for, nation, state, or local preservation
registers known to be on or next to the site? If so, generally describe.
None known to exist.
b. Generally describe any landmarks or evidence of historic, archaeological, scientific, or cultural
importance known to be on or next to the site.
None known to exist.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or contro} impacts, if any.
There are no measures proposed to reduce or control impacts. However, if objects are
unearthed during site work that may be culturally significant, the Washington State Office
of Archaeology and Historic Preservation will be notified I .u .~m (u.".:>o
14. TRANSPORTATION
a. Identify public streets and highways serving the site, and describe proposed access to the existing
street system. Show on site plans, if any.
The only street which will service the site is 28th Avenue South, and the project is proposing
a single entrance/access onto it. Besides Interstate 5 to the east, which restricts direct access,
Military Road South is the only other street adjacent to the site. The City of Federal Way
and the project owners have agreed not to provide vehicular access to it. A proposed
footpath will allow pedestrian access between Military Road and the projects proposed
intemallooproad.Military Road is easily accessible from the site by traveling north two
blocks on 28tb Ave S, turning east onto South 304tb Street and proceeding one block.
Traveling west on S 304th St from 28th Ave S for just over a half mile will bring you to
Pacific Highway South. Less than a mile to the south of the site via 28th Ave S is South 320th
Street, the main east-west arterial in the city, and access to Interstate 5.
b: Is the site currently served by public transit? If not, what is the approximate distance to the
nearest transit stop?
Yes, Metro Transit Route 183 (south to Federal Way Transit Center, north to Kent Station)
has stops along 28th Ave S within a quarter mile of the site.
c. How many parking spaces would the completed project have? How many would the project
eliminate?
The completed project will provide at least two exterior driveway parking spaces and two
interior garage parking spaces per new residential lot proposed. For a minimum total of 56
exterior spaces added and 56 interior spaces added. The possibility exists that the homes
chosen to be built will have three car garages thereby increasing the number of parking
spaces accordingly. The existing residences are to be removed from the site, so the project
would eliminate the approximately 18 parking spaces associated with them. Also, it should
be noted that the proposed internal road will be built to the cities Section W standard, which
is designed to accommodate parking on both sides.
d. Will the proposaJ require any new roads or streets, or improve!11e~ts to existing roads or streets,
Bulletin #050 - December 22, 2005
Page 15 ofEXHIBI
P4~ t: 2.D 01= 7.,.Z...,
not including driveways? Ifso, generally describe (indicate whether public or private).
Yes, an internal loop road will be constructed per the City of Federal Way's Public Works
Development Standards with a Type W cross section. The internal road will be public with
the 52 foot right-of-way dedicated to the city. Half street frontage improvements are also
required to 28th Avenue South. The project will dedicate an additional 9 feet to the 28th Ave
S right-of-way, so that the street can be improved to a Type K section.
e. Will the project use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of) water, rail, or air transportation? Ifso,
generally describe.
It is not antielpated that water or raD transportation win be ntilized by the project. }\~~ '.
Residents of the development most likely will use air transportation at some time. Seatac ~ iYv
International Airport is located approximately 10 miles to the north, and Auburn Municipal
Airport is located approximately 5 miles to the east.
f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project? Ifknown,
indicate when peak volumes would occur.
According to the ITE Trip Generation Manual, Seventh Edition, page 269, Land Use Code
210, Single-Family Detached Housing, the average number of trips generated per dwelling
unit is 9.57. Multiplying 9.57 by the total number of lots, 28, yields a result of
approximately 268 total vehicle trips per day for the completed project. Because the project
is removing three existing residences (dwelling units), the net or new vehicular trips
generated by the completed project is 239 (9.57 multiplied by 25). Although the exact time
of peak flow is unknown, they generally occur on weekdays, between the hours of 7 & 9 AM
and 4 & 6 PM.
g. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any.
Besides the required half street frontage improvements to 28th Avenue South, a site distance
analvsis determined that the project install a two way left turn lane in 28th Ave S to Drovide
~fe access to and from the site. The project will also pay a traffic mitigation fee based on a
concurrency analysis which the project will pay the City of Federal Way to perform. The
traffic mitigation fee will go towards funding transportation projects deemed necessary to
raise the level of service in areas impacted by this project.
IS. PUBLIC SERVICES
a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services (for example: fire protection,
police protection, health care, schools, other)? If so, generally describe.
Yes. Whenever a residential development is constructed, the need for public services, such
as police and fire protection, increases. Federal Wa~ School District No. 210, City of
-
Federal Way Police Department, and South King Fire and Rescue serve the site.
b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services, if any.
At the time of final plat mitigation fees are paid to the city, many~towards funding
public services. Public Services also benefit from the increased co ution to the property
tax base. JJ C~~ \ -'4 a. tr ~ \ .. r..

STEEL LAKE CREST MONS
On August 15, I sent an e-mail to Kathy McClung and Deb Barker commenting on the Steel Lake Crest Preliminary Plat
that I had reviewed. At that time, I observed that "the proposed center turn lane along the length of the project on 28th
Avenue South doesn't solve the sight distance problem".
I had no response from anyone, either verbal or written. Therefore, when I returned from a 10/3-10/10 trip out of town,
I was surprised to see a MONS published in the October 4 FEDERAL WAY MIRROR. On October 11, I called city haJJ and
was told Deb Barker was no longer working on this project and that it was transferred to Ms. Long-Woods. I spoke with
her and she told me that Deb Barker had written a letter on September 7 to Brant Schweikl in Tacoma and Mr. Schweikl
was supposed to respond to my concerns. I said that to date, I had not received any response from Mr. Schweikl. Ms.
Long-Woods said she would mail me a copy of Ms. Barker's letter. I did not receive that copy in the mail and obtained
one when I was in city hall on October 20.
In light of the above, since I have had no response to my original concern from either the City of Federal Way or Mr.
Schweikl to date, I feel "aggrieved of the city's final determination" and wish to halt the effective date of the MONS until
my concerns are resolved.

RE: FILE # 07-103898-00-SE; RESPONSE To COMMENTS
Steel Lake Crest Preliminary Plat, 30642 28th Avenue South, Federal Way
Dear Mr. Kaplan:
Thank you for the comments you submitted on October 20, 2008, in response to the issuance of a
Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MONS) on the proposed Steel Lake Crest Preliminary Plat.
You have stated in recent conversations that you submitted comments on this project when the Notice of
Application was published in 2007. At that time, staff copied and distributed those comments to the
Public Works Dept. and the applicant's engineer for evaluation. Your concerns were basically about the
placement of the access roads and whether there was adequate sight distance at those locations. Based on
your comments and internal review of the project, it was determined that the application, as submitted,
did not meet minimum code requirements for site distance, and the applicant was asked to revise the
design and the sight distance analysis.
Your recent comments echo what your original comments were on this case: you are concerned about the
location of the proposed access road for this plat off of 28th Avenue South. As you know, the original plat
plan showed two accesses off of 28th A venue South, but as I stated above, internal review of the .
application identified that there was a site distance problem on the northerly access so it was removed
from the plat.
I forwarded copies of both of your comment letters to Sanjeev Tandle of the Public Works Department
earlier this week. He explains in more detail the specifics of the review of this plat plan and why the
design was changed. Below is his response to address your concerns:
"The City's traffic division has originally reviewed the Steel Lake Crest preliminary plat application
and the sight distance survey report dated July 11,2007, prepared by Schweikl & Associates, PLLC.
The survey indicated that adequate sight distance was available at the proposed southerly access but
adequate sight distance was not available at the proposed northerly access. The report indicated that
approximately 3S() feet sight distance was available compared to the required385 feet for a 35 mph
speed zone. The report also indicated that providing a two-way left turn lane along the frontage of the
property would mitigate this deficiency. The staff did not concur with those conclusions from the
report for the following reasons:
I. Providing a two-way left turn lane would not help improve the sight distance forthe
westbound to northbound egress movements at the north access.

2. Based on the approach grade of the proposed north access, the sight distance criteria to the
south for the westbound left turn and right turn movements would be approximately 475 feet
and 426 feet, respectively.
As these requirements were not met based on the submitted materials, we concluded that it is unsafe
to allow any egress movements from the north access. The staff required the applicant to provide
other mitigation measures so that the sight distance criteria would be met at the north access.
Based on the staff comments, the applicant revised the site plan to eliminate the northerly access and
reconfigured the plat to include only one site access. The applicant also submitted a revised sight
distance analysis report on November 2,2007.
Based on the revised sight distance analysis to reflect the revised plat configuration, the available
sight distance at the proposed site access would be 505 feet to the north and 485 feet to the south. The
required sight distance is 385 feet for a 35 mph speed zone. Therefore, the staff concluded that
adequate sight distance is available at the proposed site access."
I hope this additional information helps you understand how the plat design has changed and why. The
City does not intend to modify the MDNS issued on this case and it has been scheduled for a public
hearing before the Hearing Examiner. The MDNS was final on October 20,2008, and the appeal period
ends 14 days from that date, or November 3,2008.
As a party of record, you will be sent a formal notice of the hearing when scheduled.. You will be able to
submit additional comments and/or testimony at the public hearing, if you choose to. If you have any
questions, please contact me at 253-835-2640.

RE: File #07-103898-00-SE; REsPONSE TO COMMENTS
Steel Lake Crest prelimi:wlry Plat MDNS, 30642 28th Avenue South, Federal Way
Dear Mr. Schweikl:
Thank you for the comments you submitted on October 20, 2008, in response to the issuance of a
Mitigated Determination of Non significance (MDNS) on the proposed Steel Lake Crest Preliminary Plat.
I will respond to each statement in turn. as submitted:
Findings of Fact
I. You state that the Finding #4 seems to place emphasis on 1-5 ROWand you quote a statement made
by an employee of WSDOT about the value of trees in addressing noise requirements.
The finding primarily'identifies what was in the submittal of the significant free removal and
replacement plan. The last sentence identifies that a majority of the large trees along the east side of
the proposed plat will be removed. As for the statement from a WSDOT employee, I was not a party
to a private conversation and have no knowledge of the employee or any statements made. No
comments were received from WSDOT on this determination.
2. You identify a discrepancy in file numbers.
The correct SEPA file number is #07-103898-00-SE. The Subdivision file number is #07-103897-
OO-SU. Thank you for pointing that out. It has been corrected in the findings document.
SEP A Conditions
You stated that you had had a conversation with Deb Barker about what noise mitigation measure would
be utilized to mitigate for noise impactsfrom being adjacent to the 1-5 corridor. You also mentioned talk
about a fUture transportation construction project between WSDOT and the City.
I did find a resubmittalletter where you mention that the exterior construction method was the choice of
the applicant. I will revise the staff findings to indicate that and include it into the staff report.

1. Comment noted. Will be required with submittal of engineered drawings.
2. Comment noted. The review does not say hazardous materials were found on the site. The buried
materials were identified during soil test pit exploration and the consultant stated in his geotechnical
report that no further exploration had been requested.
3. No additional comment identified.
4. No additional comment identified.
General Comments
You ask if the fact that the project had received an exemption from having to get a Shoreline Permit could
be referenced, as a matter of record for the public.
The shoreline exemption was acquired before submittal of this application. A copy of the exemption letter
will be included with the packet of information to the Hearing Examiner and identified in the staff report.

At your request, we have conducted a soils exploration and foundation evaluation for the above mentioned project
The results of this investigation, and our recommendations, are to be found in the following report We have
provided three copies for your review and distribution.
During our exploration, nine test pits were advanced and soil samples submitted for laboratory testing from the
project site. The data has been carefully analyzed to determine soils bearing capacities and footing embedment
depths. The results of the exploration and analysis indicate that conventional spread and continuous wall footings
appear to be the most suitable type of foundation for the support of the proposed structures. Some variability was
encountered in comparing the soil profiles of the site. The onsite slopes appear to be manmade in parts and should
be observed by a geotechnical engineer prior to concrete placement for foundation. Net allowable soil pressures,
embedment depth, soil parameters, and total expected settlements have been presented for the site, later in the
report
Often, because of design and consbuction details that occur on a project, questions arise concerning soil conditions.
We would be pleased to continue our role as geotechnical engineers during the project We appreciate this
opportunity to be of service to you and we look forward to working with you in the future. If you have any
questions concerning this report, the procedures used, or if we can be of any further assistance please call us at

Site Exploration Procedures
General Notes:
The field exploration to determine the engineering characteristics of the foundation materials included a
reconnaissance of the project site, excavating the test pits, performing field penetrometer and vane shear tests and
recovering disturbed grab samples. A total of nine test pits were placed on the site. Test pits were advanced to 10
feet below the existing ground surface. Test pits were located by the field crew near as possible to the proposed
building location. Schweikl and Associates supplied a site plan to locate the proposed building orientation and
position the excavations. The test pits were located by the field technician by means of normal taping and pacing
procedures and are presumed to be accurate to within a few feet. After completion, the pits were backfilled with
excavated soils and the site cleaned and leveled as required.
The types of foundation materials encountered in the test pits have been visually classified and described in detail
on the logs provided in the Appendix. The results of the field penetrometer and vane shear tests, moisture contents
and other laboratory tests are presented on the logs. It is recommended that the logs not to be used for estimating
quantities due to highly interpretive lesuIts.
Drilling & Sampling Procedures:
The test pits were performed with a conventional track excavator. Representative samples were obtained from the
pits at various soil intervals. The samples obtained by this procedure were classified in the field by a soils
technician, identified according to pit number and depth, placed in plastic bags to protect against moisture loss and
transported to the laboratory for additional testing.
Laboratory Testing Program:
Along with the field investigation, a supplemental laboratory testing program was conducted to determine
additional pertinent engineering characteristics of the foundation materials necessary in analyzing the behavior of
the proposed building structure. The laboratory testing program included supplementary visual classification and
water content determinations on all samples. In addition, selected samples were subjected to Moisture Content
Analysis - 04959, and Grain Size Analysis - ASlM designation C-117, C-136. All phases of the laboratory testing
program were conducted according to applicable ASTM Specifications and the results of these tests are to be found
on the accompanying logs located in the Appendix.

Site Information
Project Description
The purpose of this section is to enumerate details of the proposed structure. The following information was
provided by the project engineer. The buildings will be a wood framed, single family residence structures.
Daylight basements may be required in sloped areas. Conventional spread footings and slab-on-grade floors are
contemplated. Differential settlements are limited to % inch. A pavement section has not been requested but has
been provided within this report The site of the proposed building addition upon which this soils exploration has
been made is located at 30642 28th Ave South in Federal Way.
The site topography consists of a slope on the West side of the lots that drops toward the east The total vertical
elevation difference is approximately 55 feet over the entire site. The slopes are located in the middle of the site
and runs from NW to SE comers. The site drainage consists of surface runoff and natural seepage. The site
vegetation is mostly deciduous trees with a few evergreens located on the east side of the lot Blackberry bushes,
neddles, vine maples and Cedar trees are also present Prior grading has occurred on the east side of the lot near
the existing houses.
Climate of Area:
The climate of the site and surrounding area as taken from the USDA Soil Conservation Service Survey consists of
annual precipitation of 35 to 60 inches, most of which is rainfall, between October and May. The mean annual
temperature is about 50 degrees F. The frost free season is 150 to 200 days.
Geology of Area: (AgB) Alderwood Gravelly sandy loam
The geology of the western portion of the site as taken from the USDA Soil Conservation Service Survey consists of
Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AgB). Typical Alderwood soils are moderately well drained, undulating to hilly
soils that have dense, very slowly permeable glacial till at a depth of 20 to 40 inches; on uplands and terraces
formed under conifers in glacial deposits. This soil is nearly level and undulating, and moderately well drained.
Water moves across the substratum in winter. These soils have a slowly permeable glacial till or glacial lake
deposits at a depth of 16 to 40 inches and somewhat excessively drained, rolling, deep sandy soils on uplands and
terraces. The horizon 0 to 6 inches in depth is usually dark brown. The soil horizon from 6 to 12 inches is dark
brown, grayish brown and dark yellowish brown. The horizon 12 to 40 inches is consolidated and mostly grayish
brown mottled with yellowish brown. Some layers in this horizon slake in water. There is a consolidated
substratum of till at a depth of 24 to 40 inches. Soils above the substratum are pervious when compacted. The
surface layer is 2 to 3 inches thicker than the nearby soils to the south. Areas are irregular in shape and slopes
range from 0 to 6 percent. Runoff is slow and the erosion hazard is slight
The geology of the eastern portion of the site consists of Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AgC). Typical
Alderwood soils are moderately well drained, undulating to hilly soils that have dense, very slowly permeable
glacial till at a depth of 20 to 40 inches; on uplands and terraces formed under conifers in glacial deposits. Soil
profiles are similar in type except permeability is moderately rapid in the surface layer and subsoil. However, it is
very slow within the cemented layer and dense glacial till. A perched water table is as high as 18 to 36 inches at
times from January through March. Runoff is slow to medium and erosion hazard is moderate.
Description of Foundation Materials:
The soil profiles encountered were relatively consistent among most of the pits. It is to be noted that, whereas the
test pits were placed and sampled by an experienced technician, it is sometimes difficult to record changes in
stratification within narrow limits. In the absence of foreign substances, it is also difficult to distinguish between

discolored soils and clean soil fills. It is recommended that the logs not to be used for estimating quantities due to
highly interpretive results.
The surface of the proposed construction site is covered with 6 to 12 inches of topsoil that should be removed prior
to the start of any construction due to the high compressibility of these soils. Silty sand with gravel was
encountered beneath the existing topsoil and extended to depths beyond the scope of this investigation. Lines of
demarcation represent the approximate boundary between the soil types, but the transition may be gradual The
top few feet consisted of a brown, silty sand with gravel, medium dense to dense. Below this was a gray to gray-
brown gravel with sand and silt This layer was dense to very dense. The layers were fairly consistent with the
depths varying between sample pits.
In the area of sample pit #6, there was miscellaneous debris, fill, used tires and wood. No trash debris was found in
the other sample pits. The total area and quantity of trash found in this area is uncertain and should be carefully
observed during excavation to ensure all trash is removed.
Geoseismic Setting:
Foundation soils on this site are designated a Site Class C, from Table 1615.1.1 per the 2003 International Building
Code (I. B.C.). All building structures on this project should be designed per the Code Requirements for such a
seismic classification. These types of soils have a shear wave velocity in the range of 1,200 to 2,500 ftj sec. The
undrained shear strength is typically greater than 2000 psf with blow counts greater than 50 blows per foot The
following may be used for the seismic coefficients.

Liquefaction Potential:
Liquefaction is when saturated, cohesionless soils are temporarily turned in to a liquid state usually from a seismic
event. If ground motion lasts for extended amounts of time, the grain to grain contact shifts and the grain structure
can collapse. If the water within the soil cannot flow easily between the grain and out of a collapsing area, the
water pressure increases. When pore pressures build up within the soil and exceed the effective contact pressure of
the soil, the water can push the soil particles apart When the particles lose contact with each other, the soil mass
can behave like a liquid. H pore pressures are great enough, water may discharge out of the ground like a geyser
leaving characteristic signs, such as sand boils. Liquefaction is generally related to; soil characteristics, water table
depths and the degree of seismic activity. The results are lower bearing capacities, increased settlement issues,
landslides, and lateral spreading to name a few things. liquefaction potential for this site is provided within the
boundaries of the site. Seismic events which affect land masses on a greater scale are beyond the scope of this
report.
In our review we found no evidence of liquefaction of the soils in the immediate area from the 1949, 1965 and 2001
earthquakes. The site is located within the category ill region of the Poverty Bay Auburn quadrangle liquefaction
susceptibility map (GM-43) which has a VERY LOW susceptibility rating for liquefaction. It includes all other
Pleistocene glacial and non-glacial deposits and the Osceola Mudflow. Additional information on the site has been
reviewed on Liquefaction Susceptibility Map provided by the Department of Natural Resources which rates the site
as having a VERY LOW susceptibility to liquefaction.

Foundation Discussion & Recommendations
General Notes:
Various foundation types have been considered for the support of the proposed building structure. Two
requirements must be fulfilled in the design of foundations. First, the load must be less than the ultimate bearing
capacity of the foundation soils to maintain stability; and secondly, the differential settlement must not exceed an
amount that will produce adverse behavior of the superstructure. The allowable settlement is usually exceeded
before bearing capacity considerations become important; thus, the allowable bearing pressure is normally
controlled by settlement considerations.
Considering the subsurface conditions and the proposed construction, it is recommended that the structure be
founded upon conventional spread and continuous wall footing foundations. Settlements should not exceed
tolerable limits if the following design and construction recommendations are observed.
Foundation Design Recommendations:
On the basis of the data obtained from the site and the test results from the various laboratory tests performed, we
recommend that the following guidelines be used for the net allowable soils bearing capacity.

I
Footing Depth: 18 inches

Bearing Capacity: 2,000 PSF
It- All footings are to be excavated to and placed on native undisturbed soils (gray gravel with sand and silt) or
compacted structural fill. Footings are required to be a minimum of 18 inches below grade for freeze thaw
purposes. After excavation, compact any loose surface soils with a jumping jack compactor. These soils
shall be confirmed for bearing capacity and verified by the soils engineer after excavation.
It- After excavation, compact the surface with a jumping jack compactor. Confirm compaction of the native
soils and that all soft spots have been removed and replaced with suitable fill material and compacted to
least 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM 0-1557.
"" Continuous wall footings should be a minimum of 18 inches in width and any slab for the proposed building
should be suitably reinforced and connected to the footings so as to limit the effects of differeIwal settlement
and to provide some degree of uniform settlement ability for the building should the site undergo
liquefaction during a major seismic event

It- In the area of sample pit #6, there was miscellaneous debris, fill. used tires and wood. No trash debris was
found in the other sample pits. The total area and quantity of trash found in this area is uncertain. Footing
excavation should be carefully observed during excavation on the sloped area to ensure all trash is removed
and the native soils are found.
It- The use of on-site soils as structural fill is acceptable. If these soils are to be used for structural fill,
laboratory samples will need to be taken for grain size analysis and moisture-density relationships.
Structural fill shall be compacted to at least 95,. of maximum density per ASlM D1557 in footing areas.
The footings should be proportioned to meet the stated bearing capacity and/or the International Building Code
2003 minimum requirements. Total settlement should be limited to 1 inch total with differential settlement of 3/4
inch. Any excessively loose or soft spots or areas that do not meet the compaction requirements that are
encountered in the footing subgrade will require over-excavation and backfilling with at least 1 foot of structural
filL In order to minimize the effects of any slight differential movement that may occur due to variations in the
characters of the supporting soils and any variations in seasonal moisture contents, it is recommended that all
continuous footings be suitably reinforced to make them as rigid as possible.
It is recommended that the services of our firm be engaged to test and evaluate the soil conditions during the
construction phase of the project The design values and recommendations made herein are valid only insomuch
as they are followed during the construction phase. Additionally, monitoring and testing during the construction
phase needs be performed to verify the subgrade conditions and that suitable materials are used and that they are
properly placed and compacted.
Lateral Earth Pressures:
Lateral earth pressures are dependent upon the backfill materials and their configuration and moisture content
Three inch minus sand and gravel mixtures that are free draining are recommended for backfilling walls greater
than four feet tall Below grade retaining walls or walls designed for retaining earthen fills on this project may use
the following values for design. Values were obtained based on a unit weight of 130 pcf, and a phi angle of 34
degrees.

Structural Fill:
Structural fill should consist of a 3 inch minus select, clean, granular soil with no more than 5,. fines (-#200).
Suitable structural fill should consist of material that meets one of the following specifications, WSOOT Section 9-
03.10 Aggregate for Gravel Base, WSDOT Section 9-03.14(1) Grave! Borrow, WSOOT Section 9-03.14(2) Select

Surfacing (Top Course Specs), APW A Qass A Pit Run, or APW A class B Pit Run. Material that does not meet one
of the specifications should be submitted with sieve analysis results for approval prior to placement
The fill should be placed in lifts not to exceed 12 inches in loose thickness. Each layer of structural fill should be
compacted to a minimum density of 95,. of the maximum dry density as determined by ASlM designation 0-1557.
For structural fill below footings, the area of the compacted backfill must extend outside the perimeter of the
foundation for a distance at least equal to the thickness of the fill between the bottom of the foundation and the

underlying soils. H it is elected to utilize a compacted backfill for the support of foundations, the subgrade
preparation and the placing of the backfill should be monitored continuously by a qualified engineer or his
representative so that the work is performed according to these recommendations.
Slope Impact Analysis:
Sample pits placed near the sloped portion of the site appear to less dense in the upper layers those observed at
lower areas farther to the east of the site. It is likely the existing slope was modified, especially in the area of test
pits #6 and #7 where debris was found Footing excavation should be carefully observed during excavation on the
sloped area to ensure all trash is removed and the native soils are found. Re-grading of the slopes will be necessary
to reach native competent soils for a solid foundation. Excavation into the slope may increase the steepness of the
existing slope and require houses in this area to be of a daylight basement structure.
We do not anticipate that the proposed residential structure and construction of the project will have any off-site
impacts. On-site care should be taken during construction to make sure that runoff caused by wet weather is
directed away from all open excavations. The site is stable enough to support the proposed residential construction
within the recommendations made herein. There were no signs of previous slope instability or failures.
Groundwater Control:
Groundwater was not encountered when the field exploration was conducted. A seep was noted only in sample
pit #1. Groundwater is not expected to cause difficulties during construction of this project It is recommended
that runoff caused by wet weather be directed away from all open excavatio~ The on-site silty soils can be
expected to become soft and pump if subjected to excessive traffic after becoming wet during periods of bad
weather. This can be avoided by constructing temporary or permanent driveway sections should wet weather be
forecast. The on-site drainage (roof drains &: catch basins for pavement areas) should be collected and directed
away from the property. This can be accomplished by tight-lining the drainage to the approved storm drainage
system.
Retaining walls should contain at least 12 inches of free draining material behind the wall as well as a 6 inch
perforated drainpipe at the bottom of the wall to alleviate any pressure buildup. Connect the drainpipe to the on
site storm drainage system.

Construction Considerations
Earthwork:
Excessively organic top soils generally undergo high volume changes when subjected to loads. This is detrimental
to the behavior of pavements, floor slabs, structural fills and foundations placed upon them. It is recommended
that excessively organic top soils be stripped from these areas to depths of 6-12 inches and wasted or stockpiled for
later use. Exact depths of stripping should be adjusted in the field to assure that the entire root zone is removed. It
is recommended that the final exposed subgrade be inspected by a representative of the soils engineer. This
inspection should verify that all organic material has been removed. Any soft spots or deflecting areas should be
removed to sound bearing and replaced with structural fill.
Once the existing soils are excavated to the design grade, proper control of the subgrade conditions (ie., moisture
content) and the placement &: compaction of new fill (if required) should be maintained by a repreSentative of the
soils engineer. The recommendations for structural fill presented within this report, can be utilized to minimize the
volume changes and differential settlements that are detrimental to the behavior of footings, and floor slabs.
Enough density tests should be taken to monitor proper compaction. For structural fill beneath building structures
one in-place density test per lift for every 1,000 ft2 is recommended. In parking and driveway areas this can be
increased to two tests per lift for every 1,000 ft2.
Excavation equipment may disturb the bearing soils and loose pockets can occur at bearing levels that were not
disclosed by the test pits. For this reason, it is recommended that the bottoms of the excavations be compacted in-
place by vibratory compactors. The upper 12 inches should be recompacted to achieve an in-place density of not
less than 95' of the maximum dry density as determined by ASlM D-1557.
Excavations:
Shallow excavations required for construction of foundations that do not exceed four feet in depth may be
constructed with side slopes approaching vertical Below this depth it is recommended that slopes not exceed one
vertical to one horizontal. For deep excavations, the soils present cannot be expected to remain in position. These
materials can be expected to fail, and collapse into any excavation thereby undermining the upper soils materials.
This is especially true when working at depths near the water table. Proper care must be taken to protect personnel
and equipment
Care must be taken so that all excavations made for the foundations are properly backfilled with suitable material
compacted according to the procedures outlined in this report Before the backfill is placed, all water and loose
debris should be removed from these excavations.
This information is provided for planning purposes. It is our opinion that maintaining safe working conditions is
the responsibility of the contractor. Jobsite conditions such as soil moisture content, weather condition, earth
movements and equipment type and operation can all affect slope stability. All excavations should be sloped or
braced as required by applicable local, state and federal requirements.
FloOT SIRb-On-Grade:
Before the placing of concrete floors or pavements on the site, or before any floor supporting fill is placed, the
organic, loose or obviously compressive materials must be removed. The subgrade should then be verified by the
geotechnical engineer or his representative that all soft or deflecting areas have been removed. Areas of excessive
yielding should be excavated and backfilled with structural fin

Any additional fill used to increase the elevation of the floor slab should meet the requirement for structural fill.
Structural fill should be placed in layers of not more than 12 inches in thickness, at moisture contents at or above
optimum, and compacted to a minimum density of 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASlM
designation D-1557.
A granular mat should be provided below the floor slabs. This should be a minimum of four inches in thickness
and properly compacted. The mat should consist of sand or a sand and gravel mixture with non-plastic fines. All
material should pass a 3f4 inch sieve and contain less than 10% passing the #200 sieve. Groundwater can be
expected at shallower depths during the winter months. A moisture barrier, such as visqueen or plastic sheeting,
may be placed beneath all floor slabs that are within a foot of the water table, as determined during excavation.
Erosion Control (typical of most sites)
1. The implementation of these FSC plans and the construction, maintenance, replacement, and upgrading of
these ESe facilities is the responsibility of the owner /FSC supervisor until all construction is approved.
2 The boundaries of the clearing should be clearly flagged by a continuous length of survey tape (or fencing, if
required) prior to construction. During the construction period, no disturbance beyond the clearing limits shall
be permitted. The clearing limits shall be maintained by the owner/ESe supervisor for the duration of
construction.
3. The FSC facilities are to ensure that the transport of sediment to surface waters, drainage systems, and adjacent
properties is minimized.
4. The FSC facilities shown on this plan are the minimum requirements for anticipated site conditions. During
the construction period, these FSC facilities shall be upgraded as needed for unexpected storm 'events and
modified to account for changing site conditions (e.g., additional sump pumps, relocation of ditches and silt
fences, etc.).
5. The FSC facilities shall be inspected daily by the owner/ESe supervisor and maintained to ensure continued
proper functioning.
6. Any areas of exposed soils, including roadway embankments, that will not be disturbed for two days during
the wet season or seven days during the dry season shall be immediately stabilized with the approved ESe
methods (e. g., seeding, mulching, plastic covering, etc.).
7. The FSC facilities on inactive sites shall be inspected and maintained a minimum of once a month or within
forty-eight (48) hours following a storm event
8. At no time shall more than one (1) foot of sediment be allowed to accumulate within a catch basin. All catch
basins and conveyance lines shall be cleaned prior to paving. The cleaning operation shall not flush
sediment-laden water into the downstream system.
9. Stabilized construction entrances and roads shall be installed at the beginning of construction and maintained
for the duration of the project Additional measures, such as wash pads, may be required to ensure that all
paved areas are kept clean for the duration of the project
10. Any permanent flow control facility used as a temporary settling basin shall be modified with the necessary
erosion control measures and shall provide adequate storage capacity. H the facility is to function ultimately as
an infiltration system, the temporary facility must be graded so that the bottom and sides are at least three feet
above the final grade of the permanent facility.
11. Where straw mulch for temporary erosion control is required, it shall be applied at a minimum thickness of 2 to
3 inches.
12 Prior to the beginning of the wet season (Oct 1), all disturbed areas shall be reviewed to identify which ones
can be seeded in preparation for the winter rains. Disturbed areas shall be seeded within one week of the
beginning of the wet season

Pavement Design Recommendations
On the basis of the results of laboratory tests and the assumed traffic counts of the proposed project, the pavement
profile should consist of the following recommendations:
Existing Subgrade:
1) All subgrade preparation work to be performed should be monitored by a representative of our firm.
2) Over-excavate any areas that exhibit pumping of the subgrade soils at least 12 inches (or as directed by a
representative from our firm). Replace with gravel base material If subgrade is saturated or pumping
excessively after over-excavating then it may be necessary to place quarry spalls on the subgrade prior to
placement of any gravel base material
3) On the basis of the existing soils type, the onsite conditions, and the anticipated traffic conditions we
recommend that the existing subgrade being compacted to 95~ of the maximum dry density as determined by
ASlM 0-1557 (Modified Proctor).
4) Under certain site conditions the existing subgrade can be accepted by proof-rolling the subgrade using a fully
loaded dump truck. This procedure (if used) should be witnessed and accepted by a representative of our firm.
5) A geotextile fabric (if used) should be placed upon the approved subgrade to maintain the structural integrity
of the pavement profile. The fabric should be a type of fabric specifically made for use in road construction
Crushed Surfacing:
1) The layer of crushed surfacing material should consist of 6 inches of WSDOT Section 9-03.9(3) Crushed
Surfacing (Base Course Specs) that is placed and compacted to 95% of the maximum dry density as determined
by ASlM 0-1557 (Modified Proctor).
2) All of the crushed surfacing and Gravel Base material could at the contractor's option consist of WSDOT
Section 9-03.9(3) Crushed Surfacing (Top Course Specs) that is placed and compacted to 95~ of the maximum
dry density as determined by ASlM 0-1557 (Modified Proctor).
3) The material should be placed in lifts not to exceed 6 inches, with each lift being compacted and verified.
4) The crushed surfacing material should be placed to provide the proper grade and drainage for the asphalt
pavement.
Asphalt Concrete Pavement:
1) The asphalt pavement should consist of at least 3.0 inches of WSDOT Class B asphalt that is placed and
compacted to at least 91 % of the theoretical maximum density as determined by ASlM 0-2041 (Rice Method).
2) Provide a tack coat on all concrete surfaces that the pavement will be placed against, and for multiple lifts that
are not placed within an hour time period.
Conclusion
All footings are to be placed on native undisturbed soils (gray gravel with sand and silt). The existing slope
appears to be manmade in locations and should be excavated to native soils foundation placement When the
plans and specifications are complete, or if significant changes are made in the character or location of the proposed
structures, a consultation should be arranged to review them regarding the prevailing soil conditions. Then, it may
be necessary to submit supplementary recommendations. While the recommendations made herein are considered
sufficient in detail for the construction of the proposed project, there are many alternative methods of construction
which are available. We can discuss various other options for construction at your request

INTRODUCTION
The following report presents the results of the environmental noise study conducted for the proposed
residences at 30642 28th Avenue South in Federal Way, Washington. The report presents measurement
results, guidelines and criteria for residential noise levels and mitigation measures to meet the criteria.
DESCRIPTORS
Sound consists of minute vibrations, which travel through a medium, such as air, and are sensed by the
human ear. The ear perceives these vibrations as changes in pressure and as a result sound levels are
often referred to as "sound pressure levels."
Sound levels are expressed in units of decibels. The term decibel implies a logarithmic ratio of the
measured pressure to a reference pressure. The reference pressure refers to the lower threshold of
perceptibility by the human ear.
The human ear responds differently to sounds at different frequencies. This is demonstrated by the fact
that we hear higher pitched sounds more easily than lower ones of the same magnitude. To compensate
for the different "loudness" as perceived by humans, a standard weighting curve is applied to measured
sound levels. The weighting curve represents the frequency response of the human ear and is labeled as
dBA ("A" weighted decibels).
Sound levels vary significantly depending on location and activities. People normally experience sound
levels between about 30 and 90 dB(A), depending on their activity. For example, a nearby noisy vehicle,
radio or power tool may produce 90 dB(A); normal conversation is about 55 to 65 dB(A); and a bedroom
or quiet office is about 30 to 40 dB(A). The table below approximates human sensitivity to changes in
sound level.

When measuring noise that is fluctuating over time, such as traffic noise, it is common practice to use a
descriptor called the equivalent A-weighted sound level, Leq. The Leq is the constant sound level in
dB(A) which contains the same amount of sound energy over a given time period as the actual measured
fluctuating noise event.
Equivalent A-Weighted Noise Level, LEQ
Leq, equivalent sound level, is the level of a constant sound that, over a given time period, contains the
same amount of sound energy as the measured fluctuating sound;
Day-Night A-Weighted Average Noise Level, Ldn or DNL
DNL or Ldn, day-night average sound level is a descriptor that describes the continuous sound exposure
for a 24 hour period with a 10 dBA adjustment added to sound levels occurring during nighttime hours (10
PM and 7 AM).

NOISE GUIOalNES
The Department of Housing and Urban Development Noise Standards consider outdoor Day-Night
Average Sound levels (ldn) below 65 dBA "acceptable" and the indoor Day-Night Average Sound level
(ldn) goal is to not exceed 45 dBA 1. Normal construction can be expected to provide a Noise level
Reduction (NlR) of 20 dB, thus the indoor goal of ldn less than 45 dBA can be met when the outdoor
ldn is less than 65 dBA. Additional information about the guidelines for considering noise in land use
planning and control is included in Appendix I.

MEASUREMENT DESCRIPTION
SSA Acoustics placed one long-tenn environmental noise monitor on the property which was a Larson
Davis 820 (Type 1) Precision Integrating Sound Level Meter, which recorded the hourly average sound
level. Short-term measurements were also conducted on-site with a Larson Davis 824 (Type 1) Spectral
Analyzer. The equipment confonns to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) requirements for
Type 1 instruments. The Sound Level Meters were calibrated before and after the measurements with a
1000 Hz tone at 94 dB.2
The environmental noise monitor was placed on top of a storage shed at 30642 28th Avenue South on
Thursday May 17, 2007 to record the Iong-tenn noise levels experienced on the property and the monitor
was stopped on Tuesday May 22,2007. shown in Figure 1.

MEASUREMENT RE5UL T5
The environmental noise monitor recorded an Equivalent A-weighted Noise Level (LEO) for each of the
115 hours the monitor was active. The data was then reduced to a single Day-Night Average Noise Level
(Ldn) for each full 24-hour period. The Day-Night Average Noise Level (Ldn) corrects for the heightened
levels of perception between the hours of 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM with an additional 10 decibel weighting.
The recommended exterior day-night noise level should not exceed an Letn of 65 dBA; without additional
noise reduction incorporated into the construction. Figure 2 shows the Equivalent A-Weighted Noise
Level (LEO) for each hour from May 17th through May 2200 at 30642 28th Avenue South in Federal Way.

As shown in Figure 2, the Day-Night Average Noise Level (Ldn) ranged from 67 to 69 dBA. The hourly
average noise levels exceeded 56 dBA during the entire four day noise monitor, with a maximum 24 hour
Leq of 66 dBA and an average Leq of 62 dBA. The exterior day-night noise levels exceeded the
recommended HUD guidelines. Therefore. mitigation measures will be necessary.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The measurements at 30642 28th Avenue South in Federal Way, Washington resulted in exterior noise
levels ranging between 65 and 70 dBA Ldn. Therefore, noise mitigation will be required to meet the HUD
criteria.
There are two options to mitigate the noise from Interstate 5 to meet the indoor noise level criteria: either
by providing' above-standard exterior envelope construction mitigation or noise barrier mitigation. The
following are recommendations for each option to meet the recommended 45 dBA Day-Night Average
Noise Level (Ldn).
Exterior Construction Mitiaation
Standard construction methods that meet current energy code requirements provide a Noise Level
Reduction (NLR) of 20 dB, which is adequate for exterior Ldn levels that are 65 dBA or less. Since the
exterior Ldn levels are above 65 dBA, additional construction methods are necessary to meet the interior
Ldn of 45 dBA. To achieve the 45 dBA Ldn requirement, the exterior envelopes (walls, windows, doors)
of the residential units must be constructed to provided a 25 dB Noise Level Reduction (NLR).
The general 25 dB Noise Level Reduction construction details are presented in Table 2. The current
construction details can be reviewed to incorporate the additional noise level reduction requirements. A
25 dB NLR assumes mechanical ventilation and closed windows year round.

Noise Barrier Mitiaation
To provide noise barrier mitigation to meet both the exterior noise level condition and thus the interior
noise condition a noise barrier must be constructed between Interstate 5 and the proposed residences.
The goal is to reduce the outdoor noise level by 5 to 7 dB, resulting in a 62 to 64 dBA Ldn, which meets
the HUD 65 dBA Ldn Exterior Noise Standard. In turn, the reduction of the outdoor day-night average
noise level to 65 dBA or less with normal construction would result in an indoor day-night noise level of 45
dBA or less. The sound attenuation characteristics of a noise barrier are based on the geometry of the
barrier relative to the source and receiver locations and the frequency of the source noise.
The installation of a highway sound barrier could provide up to 7 dB of reduction from road noise with a
10 feet above road grade noise barrier. The noise barrier should be installed near Interstate 5, as shown
in Figure 3. The noise barrier should be constructed from continuously solid material with sound
transmission loss requirements:
Table 3
Materials that have a surface mass of at least 3.5 Ibslsq ft will meet these requirements.
The following common barrier materials that meet the mass and transmission loss requirements:
o 2 layers of 5/B-inch exterior grade plywood
o 2 layers of 16 gauge sheetmetal

Faderallnteragency Committee on Urban Noise
Guidelines for Considerina Noise in Land Use Plannina and Control
The United States Federal guidelines for land use compatibility in tenns of noise were released in June
1980, which consolidated the existing guidelines from Federal Agencies such as Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD), Department of Transportation (DOT) and Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). These guidelines include a Noise Zone Classification, Table 1 and the Suggested Land
Use Compatibility Guidelines, Table 2, based on these noise zones.

Table 1 provides a letter designation for each noise zone based on the level of noise exposure and the
Day-Night Average Sound Level (Ldn). While the HUD Noise Standards, far right column in the Noise
Zone Classification table, consider outdoor Day-Night Average Sound Levels below 65 dBA "acceptable".
Note 2 specifies that HUD, DOT and EPA recognize Day-Night Average Sound Level equal to 55 dBA as
the goal for outdoors in residential areas in protecting the public health and welfare with an adequate
margin of safety. It also notes that this is not a regulatory goal, but a general scientific consensus.

Table 2 is a guideline for land use with respect to outdoor noise on the property, due to automobile traffic,
airplane traffic or other exterior noise sources. The following notes are included in the Guidelines.
Notes for Table 2
1. a) Although local conditions may require residential use, it is discouraged in C-1 and strongly
discouraged in C-2. The absence of viable alternative development options should be detennined
and an evaluation indicating that a demonstrated community need for residential use would not
be met if development were prohibited in these zones should be conducted prior to approvals.
b) Where the community determines that residential uses must be allowed, measures to achieve
outdoor to indoor Noise Level Reduction (NLR) of at least 25 dB (Zone C-1) and 30 dB (Zone C-
2) should be incorporated into building codes and be considered in individual approvals. Normal
construction can be expected to provide a NLR of 20 dB, thus the reduction requirements are
often stated as 5, 10 or 15 dB over standard construction and normally assume mechanical
ventilation and closed windows year round. Additional consideration should be given to modifying
NLR levels based on peak noise levels.
c) NLR criteria will not eliminate outdoor noise problems. However, building location and site
planning, design and use of berms and barriers can help mitigate outdoor noise exposure
particularly from ground level sources. Measures that reduce noise at a site should be used
wherever practical in preference to measures which only protect interior spaces.
2. Measures to achieve NLR of 25 must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions
of these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise sensitive areas or where the
normal noise level is low.
3. Measures to achieve NLR of 30 must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions
of these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise sensitive areas or where the
normal noise level is low.
4. Measures to achieve NLR of 35 must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions
of these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise sensitive areas or where the
normal noise level is low.

PRELIMINARY STORM DRAINAGE REPORT
Project Overview
The proposed Steel Lake Crest Plat is located at 30642 28th Avenue South, Federal Way,
Washington. The site falls between 28th A venue South, on the west, and the Interstate 5
right-of-way to the east. Private property bounds the site on the north and south. Except
for the northeast comer, which is clipped diagonally by Military Road South, the overall
shape of the site is rectangular. That portion of the property truncated by Military Road
being approximately 100 feet longer east to west than north to south. Steel Lake lies
directly to the west, and a small portion of the site (the extreme northwest comer) is
within 200 feet of the lakes shoreline. The project has requested an exemption from the
Shoreline Substantial Development Permit (required when a project is less than 200 feet
from a regulated lakes shoreline) based on the fact that the affected area is so minimal it
falls below the threshold. Approximately one quarter mile due east of the site, across the
Interstate 5 right-of-way, is Dolloff Lake. The location of these two lakes is relevant to
the project because ultimately they receive the storm drainage from the site.
The project consists of four existing parcels (parcel #'s 0921049096, 0921049161,
0921049182 & 0921049183) which total approximately 6.77 acres. The four parcels are
owned by three individual parties who currently live in existing homes on the site. These
homes, the only existing residences found on the site, all front off of 28th A venue South.
The project proposes dividing the four existing parcels into 28 new lots meeting the
current RS-7.2 Single Family Residential zoning code, and five tracts. All lots will have
a minimum size of at least 7200 square feet, and front off of a new internal loop road.
The internal road will be built to the City of Federal Way's Section "W" local road
standard, with a 52-foot right-of-way, and provide access for all 28 lots onto 28th Avenue
South. The three existing homes will be removed and new wood framed single-family
structures will be erected on all lots. 'All utility services to the new single family
residences will be placed underground and be provided from the internal roads right-of-
way.
Besides the previously mentioned new internal loop road, the proposed project site
infrastructure development includes half street frontage improvements to 28th A venue
South. The city is planning 28th A venue South as a minor arterial with a Type "K" cross
section. The minimum section width of a Type "K" cross section requires a 78-foot
right-of-way. To meet the half street improvements, in addition to installing new curb,
sidewalk, planter strip, etc., the project will dedicate an additional 9 feet of right-of-way
to the city. The project will add off-site tapers to transition the wider half street "K"
section back to the existing street section at both north and south end. The City of
E~'i~,. l
3' ' 'PA - QFJ~
Federal Way also requires 10-foot wide Type III landscape buffers be created between
developments and arterials. The project proposes providing tracts along the Military
Road and 28th Avenue frontages for them.
The site naturally slopes from the southwest comer to the northeast comer. There is an
approximate drop of70 feet across the site, with an average slope of9.3%. There are a
few small areas where the average slope exceeds 40%. The majority of these steep slope
areas are not naturally occurring, but are the result of man made fills in the backyards of
the existing homes. The areas around these existing homes are typically landscaped, with
lawns and flower beds, and maintained by the home owners. Away from the landscaped
yards, the site is mostly non-maintained native vegetation. The site is wooded with many
large fir trees. Generally speaking, the further east you go the heavier and denser the
underbrush becomes.
The conceptual grading plan as depicted has 17,821 cubic yards of cut and 17,404 cubic
yards of fill, after an initial stripping volume of 5,152 cubic yards has been removed. The
project is therefore determined to be a Cut site, and must have material exported to an
off site location. The final grading plan will attempt to provide an earthwork balance
between the cut and fill amounts, and reuse portions of the existing topsoil in non-
structural onsite fill locations to reduce the amount of material needed to be transported
off the site.
In light of maximizing the number of lots that can be created under the RS-7.2 Single
Family Residential Zoning Code, most of the trees within the developed area will be
removed to allow for placement of the structures. A Tree Inventory Plan has been
created to identify the significant tree population, and the levels to which removal or
retention will occur. In conjunction with the Tree Inventory Plan, the project has'
obtained the services of a licensed landscape architect to prepare a Landscape Plan to
meet the City of Federal Ways requirements in this matter. All efforts will be taken to
save any other existing trees or landscape features within the project boundary area that
do not directly affect construction of the proposed new residences.
The 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), with addendum, is
the storm drainage regulatory manual adopted by the City of Federal Way. In accordance
with the 1998 KCSWDM, Figure 1.1.2.A, Flow Chart for Determining Type of Drainage
Review Required, was utilized to determine the type of drainage review that the project is
subject to. That result determined the type of storm drainage review needed is a Full
Drainage Review. Per Table 1.1.2.A of the KCSWDM, Requirements Applied Under
Each Drainage Review Type, Full Drainage Review, Technical Information Reports,
shall address Core Requirement #'s 1-8 and Special Requirement #'s 1-5.
The project is located within a Levell flow control area that also requires Basic Water
Quality treatment. A separate Detention/Wetpond tract will be created which will
contain the proposed combined detention/water quality facility. Preliminary sizing data
for the combined facility is included in this report.

Onsite Basin
The prominent hydrology feature of this project is that the site lies in two different
drainage basins. The portion of 28th A venue South 'which fronts the project site is
essentially the dividing line between the Lower Puget Sound Basin and the Mill Creek
Basin. Currently flows from the roadside ditch on the eastern edge of 28th Avenue South,
enter into a culvert at the northwest comer of the project site, where it gets conveyed
eventually to Steel Lake. Steel Lake is in the Lower Puget Sound Drainage Basin and is
part of the Central Puget Sound Watershed. Per a May 29, 2008 E-Mail from Kevin
Peterson, City of Federal Way the Steel Lake Basin will not require any stormwater flow
control due to the fact that the developed flows are much less than 0.1 'cfs. The basin area
subject to vehicular traffic (PGIS) is below the 1998 KCSWDM threshold level of 5000sf
and therefore water quality treatment has not been required.
Because the topography of the site slopes northeasterly, away from 28th Avenue South,
any storm water from the site which does not get into the roadside ditch will naturally
flow northeast, away from Steel Lake. This is the majority of the storm water drainage
from the site. The natural point of discharge for this storm water is along the northeast
boundary line. This runoff will eventually make its way to Dolloff Lake. Dolloff Lake is
part of the Mill Creek Drainage Basin and Duwamish-Green River Watershed. The
project lies within the Duwamish-Green River King County Water Resource Inventory
Area (WRIA) Code Number 9. According to the King County Districts and
Development Conditions Report, there are no mapped hazards (Coal Mine, Erosion,
Landslide or Seismic) at the site, and the site is not located in a Critical Aquifer Recharge
Area.
Wetland Inventory
The 1990 King County Wetland Survey was accessed to determine the location and
classification of potential wetlands in the vicinity of the project. No wetlands were found
to be present on the site. There is an existing wetland east ofthe Interstate 5 right-of-
way, associated with Dolloff Lake, that's approximately one-quarter of a mile from the
site. There are no other mapped wetlands in the vicinity of the project.
King County Soils Survey
The King County Soils Survey Maps provided by the United States Department of
Agriculture Soil Conservation Service were reviewed to determine the soil characteristics
within the project basin with respect to the soils susceptibility to landslides and erosion
and its capability for groundwater recharge and surface water runoff. Upon their review,
the maps indicate the soils in the project area are Alderwood type soils. Typical
Alderwood soils are moderately well drained, undulating to hilly soils that have dense,
very slowly permeable glacial till at a depth of20 to 40 inches.

Jason Engineering & Consulting Business, Inc., a geotechnical engineering firm, has
been retained to perform soil testing on the site. Their report titled Subsurface
Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Report, is dated June 20, 2007 (Appendix A.)
The report classifies the western half of the project as Alderwood (AgB) soils and the
eastern half of the project as Alderwood (AgC) soils. See the Geotechnical report for
additional geotechnical information.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) FloodplainIFloodway Maps
FEMA Floodplain/Floodway Maps were reviewed and there were no identified 100 year
or 500 year floodplains on the project site.
Core and Special Requirements Analvsis
Core Requirement #1- Discharge at the Natural Location
There are two natural discharge points for this site due to the fact that the site falls in two
separate drainage basins. For the majority ofthe site, the northeast comer property
boundary with the Military Road right-of-way is the natural discharge location.
Topographically this is the lowest part of the project site. Storm water runoff would
naturally sheet off the site to the northeast towards Military Road. The proposed
combined detention and wetpond facility, which will be located in a separate tract in the
northeast comer of the site, will discharge to this same location. This complies with the
KCSWDM's requirement for discharging at the sites natural location. The discharge
from the facility will either be daylighted to the grassy area along the Military Road
right-of-way, or tightlined to the existing concrete culvert on adjacent WSDOT right-of-
way which drains that area. Currently we are waiting to hear back from WSDOT as to
their say in this matter. The remainder of the site, anything which is west of or drains
into the eastern roadside ditch along 28th A venue South, discharges from the site via an
existing 12 inch concrete culvert. The existing culvert, located in the ditch at the
northwest comer of the site, conveys runoff to a catch basin, across 28th Avenue South
and away from the site. The runoff will remain tightlined until discharged to Steel Lake.
With the required street improvel]1ents, including an additional 9 feet of dedication, the
runoff from the developed site essentially is split between the offsite flows going to one
basin (Steel Lake), and the onsite flows going to another (Dolloff Lake). The project
proposes collecting the offsite runoff in a catch basin at the northwest comer of the site,
treating it with a catch basin type filter system, and conveying it to the same existing
catch basin that the flow goes to now. In both cases, discharge from the site remains at or
near the predeveloped location.
Core Requirement #2 - Offsite Analysis
A Level 1 downstream analysis was prepared for this project. The summary from this
report indicates that the established downstream routes of both basins EXHIBiifs I,
PAGE..l..::2..0F 1Dl1.
6
, 06066_REV-PTIR.doc
of erosion or flooding. The analysis concludes that the increased net volumes of stonn
water runoff generated by development of the project site would not adversely impact the
downstream corridor or its adjacent properties, when the runoff is discharged in
accordance with the KCSWDM. A full copy of the downstream analysis is included in
this report. See Appendix B.
Core Requirement #3 - Flow Control
The written conclusions from the Pre-application meeting conducted at the City of
Federal Way indicate that Levell flow control will be required for the plat of Steel Lake
Crest. Also, that the designed facility is to meet the performance criteria outlined in the
1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual with the City of F ederal Way
Addendum. Due to the nature of the project site, having the offsite area falling into one
drainage basin and the onsite area lying in another, the conceptual storm drainage plan
addresses the runoff within each drainage basin separately.
For the projects onsite area (within the Mill Creek drainage basin) all of the storm water
runoff will be collected and conveyed to an open pond facility located at the northeast
corner of the site. The controlled discharge from the detention pond will be to the
Military Road/Interstate 5 right-of-way, directly east of the proposed pond. This is the
natural discharge location for the site. The state department of transportation (WSDOT)
has been notified, and the final pond discharge design will depend upon what their permit
allows. The preliminary detention volume calculations for the developed site, needed for
sizing the pond, were determined by utilizing KCRTS hydrologic modeling software.
KCRTS is the hydrologic modeling system employed by the 1998 KCSWDM, which is
required to be used by the City of Federal Way. The total area of the onsite basin (after
dedication) is 6.67 acres. The projects existing (predeveloped) onsite drainage basin land
covering consists of 0.54 acres of impervious surface, 0.19 acres of till grass (lawn) and
5.94 acres of till forest. The projects proposed (developed) land coverings are 3.55 acres
of impervious surfaces and 3.12 acres of till grass. Printouts from the KCR TS model
showing the developed and predeveloped surface data inputs are found in Appendix G.
Sheet B-1, found in Appendix F, depicts the on-site basin boundaries for both the
predeveloped and developed conditions. Using the basin information, the program
generated the peak annual flow rates for the 100, 50,25, 10, 5, 3, 2, 1.3, & 1.1 year storm
events. Printouts of this data are also included in Appendix G. Matching the 2 and 10
year peak flow rates', required for Level 1 flow control, and assuming a live storage depth
of 5 feet, the model calculated the storage volume needed for the pond to be 34,609 cubic
feet. Also calculated were the orifice sizes and their placement height relative to the
pond bottom. The sizing data as well as a pond routing chart and a flow frequency graph
can be found in Appendix G. The storm water detention tract shown on the preliminary
site plan provides ample area for the pond, as the initial design incorporated a pond
volume of approximately 45,000 cubic feet.
The project proposes that the offsite drainage, which currently discharges to Steel Lake
(Lower Puget Sound drainage basin), will continue to discharge to this location.
Required road improvements to 28th Ave S. would add an additional 2,800 square feet of
7
EXHIBIT I,
PAGi_REpIR.~F .J.Q(
impervious surface area to the basin due to street widening. This is well below the 1998
KCSWDM minimum 5,000 square foot threshold requiring flow control. However, when
you add in the impervious surface area from the City of Federal Way's required 8 foot
wide sidewalk, the total impervious area becomes 5,600 square feet. Portions of this
sidewalk would essentially expand the area of the existing offsite basin, with the back-of-
sidewalk becoming the boundary line between basins. Sheets B-2 and B-3, found in
Appendix F show the basin for both the predeveloped and developed conditions. The
project would then be required to provide flow control for the offsite developed basin
because it is 600 square feet over the threshold limit. When considering the 6 foot wide
planter strip between the sidewalk and curb, an argument can be made that some amount
of runoff from the sidewalk will naturally infiltrate itself before reaching the gutter line.
Effectively reducing runoff flows and some of the total impervious area associated with
them. Because of this reasoning, and the limited space and topographic constraints of
providing a facility in this area, the project will not be required to install any flow control
for the off site basin per City of Federal Way E-mail May 29, 2008.
Also the project proposes that the lake itself will act as a flow control device given the
insignificant amount of additional runoff generated by the road improvements on 28th
A venue South compared to the overall volume/surface area of the lake. The flows will
produce a minute immeasurable stage increase for the lake on the order of less than
1/10,000 of a foot due in part to the large total acreage of Steel Lake. Steel Lake also has
a free flowing outlet therefore the natural attenuation of the lake will dampen any
potential affects from the small increase in impervious surface area due to the required
road improvements. There should be no flooding or erosional affects as a result of
accommodating this surface area change within the existing Steel Lake contributing
basin.
Core Requirement #4 - Conveyance System
Four or six inch PVC roof drain pipe at a minimum of .5% slope is a standard building
practice that would provide the proposed residential structures more than adequate
conveyance of storm water from their downspouts to the proposed storm drainage
system. A portion of that system (that serving lots 1-6) will discharge directly to the
proposed detention/wet pond. The remainder of which will flow into the drainage
collection system located along the internal "Road A". This system is comprised of a
series of Type 1 catch basins tied together with 12 inch diameter storm drainage
conveyance pipe. The system is designed to drain to a Type 2 catch basin located at a
low point between Lots 6 and 28. From here, the collected flow is conveyed via a 12
inch diameter pipe into the detention/wet pond. At minimum slope (0.5%), 12 inch
diameter concrete culvert has a maximum flow rate of2.53 cfs. The 12 inch diameter
LCPE pipe proposed for use on this project would have an even higher maximum flow
rate do to its smoother internal lining. The maximum flow rate calculated by KCRTS for
a 25 year storm event over the developed basin is 1.3 7 cfs. Therefore, the proposed 12
inch diameter conveyance pipe will be more than sufficient to handle the required design
flows.
8
EXHIBIT "
PAGE~OF -'DD-
06066_REV-PTlR.doc
A storm drainage line will also be installed as part of the required 28th Avenue South
street improvements. A 12 inch diameter LCPE storm drainage pipe will connect the
existing ditch along 28th A venue at the south property line, with a series of Type 1 catch
basins located in the gutter line of the new concrete vertical curb. The north end of the
12 inch diameter LCPE drainage line will connect to an existing 12 inch concrete culvert
that conveys the flow northwest under 28th Avenue to an existing catch basin. From here,
runoff is conveyed via the existing tightlined storm water system till it is discharged into
Steel Lake. Once again a 12 inch diameter pipe is more than sufficient to handle the
required design flows.
Core Requirement #5 - Erosion & Sediment Control
The project engineering documents include a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation
Control Plan, Sheet C-2. The plans call for the installation of a silt fence, catch basin
sediment protection, a rock construction entrance, a sediment pond and hydro-seeding
protection for the disturbed areas of the project. The ESC facilities within the plan are to
be designed and operated in accordance with Appendix D of the KCSWDM. The plan
also shows the proposed limits of construction, corresponding to the limits of the
potential surface disturbance for the project, and provides a Construction Sequence which
conforms to the KCSWDM. The project area also exceeds the minimum threshold for
requiring a NPDES permit from the Washington State Department of Ecology. A copy
of the TESC plan will be served with the application for the permit prior to construction.
No additional measures, with regard to the NPDES permit, are proposed at this time.
Core Requirement #6 - Maintenance and Operations
All storm water facilities must be maintained and operated per King County standards. A
listing of the applicable standards is included in this report. See Appendix C.
Core Requirement #7 - Financial Guarantees and Liability
The City of Federal Way requires financial guarantees for the installation, proper 0
operation, and maintenance of all drainage facilities proposed by this project. Once final
engineering plans are approved, the city will provide the terms for an Agreemenr &
Performance/Maintenance Bond, which the project must secure prior to the beginning of
construction. A copy of the city's information sheet with regard to this bond is included
in Appendix D. Pursuant to this agreement, the owners of Steel Lake Crest will maintain
the drainage facilities per King County standards (see Appendix C) for the required two
year period.
Core Requirement #8 - Water Quality
Per the Preapplication Conference Summary Letter, the project is within a Basic Water
Quality Treatment area that is consistent with the KCSWDM. Again the project, which
falls within two drainage basins, proposes to address this issue for each basin separately.
Appendix F contains maps of two developed basins. For the majority of the storm water,
EXH"'tT l-
PAGiEV- o doc OF J(I)
9
that which drains from the onsite area, the project proposes treatment via a wetpool
utilizing particle settlement. The water quality is to be accomplished in a combined
(detention/water quality) facility located in a separate tract. The sizing (volume)
calculations for the detention portion (live ,storage) of the facility has already been given
under Core Requirement #3 of this report. Sizing (volume) of the water quality portion
(dead storage) is as follows:
The preliminary water quality volume for the wetpool is calculated using the equation
given in Section 6.4.1.1 of the KCSWDM.
Wetpool Volume = V = f [(0.9Ai + 0.25Atg + O.1Atf + O.1Ao) x R]
Where
v = wetpool volume in cubic feet
f = volume factor, given as 3 for basic wetpool
Ai = area of impervious surface in square feet
Atg = area of till soil covered with grass in square feet
Atf = area of till soil covered with forest in square feet
Ao = area of outwash soil in square feet
R = rainfall from mean annual storm event in feet, obtained from
Figure 6.4.1.A of the KCSWDM. For the project location a
value of 0.039 feet is used.
Therefore
v = 3 [{ (0.9)(154,532) + (0.25)(133,729)} 0.039]
V = 20,184 cubic feet
The wetpool, dead storage, will be placed under the detention, live storage, volume of the
pond and be a minimum of 4 feet deep.
For the offsite basin, the required road improvements will not produce sufficient new
pollution generating impervious surface PGIS area to exceed the threshold minimum of
5,000 square feet of new (PGIS). The street widening of 28th A venue S0Uth, the only
PGIS created by the project within the offsite developed basin, will amount to
approximately 2,800 square feet. The basin therefore is exempt from water quality
treatment per the KCSWDM and per the City of Federal Way May 29th, 2008 no water
quality treatment will be required.
Special Requirement #1 - Other Adopted Requirements
We have conducted research and found that the project does not appear to lie within a
Critical Drainage Area (CDA), Master Drainage Plan (MDP), Basin Plan (BP), Lake
Management Plan (LMP), or Shared Facility Drainage Plan (SFDP). Therefore the
project will comply with the requirements of the KCSWDM.
EXHIBIT ~
PAGE 1'0 OF J.rti.
>.
10
06066_REV-PTIR.doc
Special Requirement #2 - Floodplain/Floodway Delineation
The project does not lie within either a 100 year or 500 year floodplain or a floodway per
King County I-Map Sensitive Area Ordinance (SAO) maps.
Special Requirement #3 - Flood Protection Facilities
The project is not protected by levees, revetments, or berms (flood protection facilities)
and therefore there are no special design criteria for flood protection for our proposed
project.
Special Requirement #4 - Source Controls
The project is a single-family residential development. Per the KCSWDM it is exempt
from source control since the developed use is not qualifying (ie commercial, industrial
or multi-family). Therefore, there are not any source control requirements mandated
upon the project.
Special Requirement #5 - Oil Control
This project is a new single-family residential development that does not create any high-
use sites. The vehicular turnover rate per building area is below the threshold limit and
therefore the project is exempt.
Summary
In summary, the project proposes to install an open, above ground combined detention
and water quality pond to address the Level I Flow Control and Basic Water Quality
requirements for the onsite runoff mandated by the City of Federal Way. The pond will
be located in a separate tract, located on the northeast comer of the project site. The pond
will be designed with the appropriate water quality dead storage to provide Basic
Treatment, and sufficient live storage to provide enough volume to allow the discharge to
meet Level I flow control. Because the site falls within two s' i-'arate drainage basins,
there are two separate discharges from the site, and both must be addressed. We found
that the downstreams from each of the projects drainage basins appears to have sufficient
ability to convey the larger volumes associated with the designed storm events. The
proposed project will provide flow control and therefore not increase the discharge rate to
the existing downstream conveyance system. The 1998 King County Surface Water
Design Manual, plus addendum, is the City of Federal Way's adopted storm water
drainage manual. The project meets the criteria of this manual requiring a Full Drainage
Review. The project will be designed with respect to and in accordance with this review
and all requirements of the 1998 KCSWDM.

At your request, we have conducted a soils exploration and foundation evaluation for the above mentioned project
The results of this investigation, and our recommendations, are to be found in the following report We have
provided three copies for your review and distribution.
During our exploration, nine test pits were advanced and soil samples submitted for laboratory testing from the
project site. The data has been carefully analyzed to determine soils bearing capacities and footing embedment
depths. The results of the exploration and analysis indicate that conventional spread and continuous wall footings
appear to be the most suitable type of foundation for the support of the proposed structures. Some variability was
encountered in comparing the soil profiles of the site. The onsite slopes appear to be manmade in parts and should
be observed by a geotechnical engineer prior to concrete placement for foundation. Net allowable soil pressures,
embedment depth, soil parameters, and total expected settlements have been presented for the site, later in the
report.
Often, because of design and construction details that occur on a project, questions arise concerning soil conditions.
We would be pleased to continue our role as geotechnical engineers during the project We appreciate this
opportunity to be of service to you and we look forward to working with you in the future. H you have any
questions concerning this report, the procedures used, or if we can be of any further assistance please call us at

Investigation Information
Introduction:
This report presents the results of a soils exploration and foundation analysis for the proposed new construction
located at 30642 28th Ave South in Federal Way. The subsurface exploration and analysis determines the various
soil profile components, the engineering characteristics of the foundation materials and provides criteria for the
design engineers and architects to prepare or verify the suitability of the foundation design. This report was
requested by Linda Elder. Written authorization to perform this exploration and analysis was provided by Linda
Elder
Scope:
The scope of this geotechnical report and analysis included; a review of geological maps of the area, review of
geologic and related literature, a reconnaissance of the immediate site, subsurface exploration, field and laboratory
testing, and an engineering analysis and evaluation of the foundation materials to provide allowable bearing
capacity, estimates of settlement, subgrade modulus, lateral earth pressure design values, geotechnical
recommendations for site grading including site preparation, subgrade preparation, fill placement criteria,
suitability of on-site soils as structural fill, drainage and erosion control measures, as well as an evaluation of
landslide and erosion hazards at the site per the King County Critical Areas regulations.
We were not requested to provide an Environmental Site Assessment for this property. Any comments concernirig
onsite conditions and/ or observations, including soil appearances and odors, are provided as general information.
Information in this report is not intended to describe, quantify or evaluate any environmental concern or situation.
General:
The exploration and analysis of the foundation conditions reported herein are considered sufficient in detail and
scope to form a reasonable basis for the foundation design. Any revision in the plans for the proposed structure
from those enumerated in this, report should be brought to the attention of the soils engineer so that he may

Site Exploration Procedures
General Notes:
The field exploration to determine the engineering characteristics of the foundation materials included a
reconnaissance of the project site, excavating the test pits, performing field penetrometer and vane shear tests and
recovering disturbed grab samples. A total of nine test pits were placed on the site. Test pits were advanced to 10
feet below the existing ground surface. Test pits were located by the field crew near as possible to the proposed
building location. Schweikl and Associates supplied a site plan to locate the proposed building orientation and
position the excavations. The test pits were located by the field technician by means of normal taping and pacing
procedures and are presumed to be accurate to within a few feet. After completion, the pits were backfilled with
excavated soils and the site cleaned and leveled as required.
The types of foundation materials encountered in the test pits have been visually classified and described in detail
on the logs provided in the Appendix. The results of the field penetrometer and vane shear tests, moisture contents
and other laboratory tests are presented on the logs. It is recommended that the logs not to be used for estimating
quantities due to highly interpretive results.
Drilling & Sampling Procedures:
The test pits were performed with a conventional track excavator. Representative samples were obtained from the
pits at various soil intervals. The samples obtained by this procedure were classified in the field by a soils
technician, identified according to pit number and depth, placed i,n plastic bags to protect against moisture loss and
transported to the laboratory for additional testing.
Laboratory Testing Program:
Along with the field investigation, a supplemental laboratory testing program was conducted to determine
additional pertinent engineering characteristics of theJoundation materials necessary in analyzing the behavior of
the proposed building structure. The laboratory testing program included supplementary visual classification and
water content determinations on all samples. In addition, selected samples were subjected to Moisture Content
Analysis - D4959, and Grain Size Analysis - ASlM designation C-1l7, C-136. All phases of the laboratory testing
program were conducted according to applicable ASlM Specifications and the results of these tests are to be found
on the accompanying logs located in the Appendix.

Site Information
Project Description
The purpose of this section is to enumerate details of the proposed structure. The following information was
provided by the project engineer. The buildings will be a wood framed, single family residence structures.
Daylight basements may be required in sloped areas. Conventional spread footings and slab-on-grade floors are
contemplated. Differential settlements are limited to 3/4 inch. A pavement section has not been requested but has
been provided within this report The site of the proposed building addition upon which this soils exploration has
been made is located at 30642 28th Ave South in Federal Way.
The site topography consists of a slope on the West side of the lots that drops toward the east The total vertical
elevation difference is approximately 55 feet over the entire site. The slopes are located in the middle of the site
and runs from NW to SE comers. The site drainage consists of surface runoff an4 natural seepage. The site
vegetation is mostly deciduous trees with a few evergreens located on the east side of the lot. Blackberry bushes,
neddles, vine maples and Cedar trees are also present Prior grading has occurred on the east side of the lot near
the existing houses.
Climate of Area:
The climate of the site and surrounding area as taken from the USDA Soil Conservation Service Survey consists of
annual precipitation of 35 to 60 inches, most of which is rainfall, between October and May. The mean annual
temperature is about 50 degrees F. The frost free season is 150 to 200 days.
Geology of Area: (AgB) Alderwood Gravelly sandy loam
The geology of the western portion of the site as taken from the USDA Soil Conservation Service Survey consists of
Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AgB). Typical Alderwood soils are moderately well drained, undulating to hilly
soils that have dense, very slowly permeable glacial till at a depth of 20 to 40 inches; on uplands and terraces
formed under conifers in glacial deposits. This soil is nearly level and undulating, and moderately well drained.
Water moves across the substratum in winter. These soils have a slowly permeable glacial till or glacial lake
deposits at a depth of 16 to 40 inches and somewhat excessively drained, rolling, deep sandy soils on uplands and
terraces. The horizon 0 to 6 inches in depth is usually dark brown. The soil horizon from 6 to 12 inches is dark
brown, grayish brown and dark yellowish brown. The horizon 12 to 40 inches is consolidated and mostly grayish
brown mottled with yellowish brown. Some layers in this horizon slake in water. There is a consolidated
substratum of till at a depth of 24 to 40 inches. Soils above the substratum are pervious when compacted. The
surface layer is 2 to 3 inches thickf'.l than the nearby soils to the south. Areas are irregular in shape and slopes
range from 0 to 6 percent. Runoff 15 slow and the erosion hazard is slight
The geology of the eastern portion of the site consists of Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AgC). Typical
Alderwood soils are moderately well drained, undulating to hilly soils that have dense, very slowly permeable
glacial till at a depth of 20 to 40 inches; on uplands and terraces formed under conifers in glacial deposits. Soil
profiles are similar in type except permeability is moderately rapid in the surface layer and subsoil. However, it is
very slow within the cemented layer and dense glacial till. A perched water table is as high as 18 to 36 inches at
times from January through March. Runoff is slow to medium and erosion hazard is moderate.
Description of Foundation Materials:
The soil profiles encountered were relatively consistent among most of the pits. It is to be noted that, whereas the
test pits were placed and sampled by an experienced technician, it is sometimes difficult to record changes in
stratification within narrow limits. In the absence of foreign substances, it is also difficult to distinguish between

discolored soils and clean soil fills. It is recommended that the logs not to be used for estimating quantities due to
highly interpretive results.
The surface of the proposed construction site is covered with 6 to 12 inches of topsoil that should be removed prior
to the start of any construction due to the high compressibility of these soils. Silty sand with gravel was
encountered beneath the existing topsoil and extended to depths beyond the scope of this investigation. Lines of
demarcation represent the approximate boundary between the soil types, but the transition may be gradual. The
top few feet consisted of a brown, silty sand with gravel, medium dense to dense. Below this was a gray to gray-
brown gravel with sand and silt This layer was dense to very dense. The layers were fairly consistent with the
depths varying between sample pits.
In the area of sample pit #6, there was miscellaneous debris, fill, used tires and wood. No trash debris was found in
the other sample pits. The total area and quantity of trash found in this area is uncertain and should be carefully
observed during excavation to ensure all trash is removed.
Geoseismic Setting:
Foundation soils on this site are designated a Site Class C, from Table 1615.1.1 per the 2003 International Building
Code (IB.C.). All building structures on this project should be designed per the Code Requirements for such a
seismic classification. These types of soils have a shear wave velocity in the range of 1,200 to 2,500 ft/ see. The
undrained shear strength is typically greater than 2000 psf with blow counts greater than 50 blows per fool The
following may be used for the seismic coefficients.

Liquefaction Potential:
Liquefaction is when saturated, cohesionless soils are temporarily turned in to a liquid state usually from a seismic
event If ground motion lasts for extended amounts of time, the grain to grain contact shifts and the grain structure
can collapse. H the water within the soil cannot flow easily between the grain and out of a collapsing area, the
water pressure increases. When pore pressures build up within the soil and exceed the effective contact pressure of
the soil, the water can push the soil particles apart When the particles lose contact with each other, the soil mass
can behave like a liquid. H pore pressures are great enough, water may discharge out of the ground like a geyser
leaving characteristic signs, such as sand boils. Liquefaction is generally related to; soil characteristics, water table
depths and the degree of seismic activity. The results are lower bearing capacities, increased settlement issues,
landslides, and lateral spreading to name a fe:w things. Liquefaction potential for this site is provided within the
boundaries of the site. Seismic events which affect land masses on a greater scale are beyond the scope of this
report.
In our review we found no evidence of liquefaction of the soils in the immediate area from the 1949, 1965 and 200l
earthquakes. The site is located within the category ill region of the Poverty Bay Auburn quadrangle liquefaction
susceptibility map (GM-43) which has a VERY LOW susceptibility rating for liquefaction. It includes all other
Pleistocene glacial and non-glacial deposits and the Osceola Mudflow. Additional information on the site has been
reviewed on Liquefaction Susceptibility Map provided by the Department of Natural Resources which rates the site
as having a VERY LOW susceptibility to liquefaction.

Foundation Discussion & Recommendations
General Notes:
Various foundation types have been considered for the support of the proposed building structure. Two
requirements must be fulfilled in the design of foundations. First, the load must be less than the ultimate bearing
capacity of the foundation soils to maintain stability; and secondly, the differential settlement must not exceed an
amount that will produce adverse behavior of the superstructure. The allowable settlement is usually exceeded
before bearing capacity considerations become important; thus, the allowable bearing pressure is normally
controlled by settlement considerations.
Considering the subsurface conditions and the proposed construction, it is recommended that the structure be
founded upon conventional spread and continuous wall footing foundations. Settlements should not exceed
tolerable limits if the following design and construction recommendations are observed.
Foundation Design Recommendations:
On the basis of the data obtained from the site and the test results from the various laboratory tests performed, we
recommend that the following guidelines be used for the net allowable soils bearing capacity.
Ground Surface

required for
freeze-thaw
I
Footing Depth: 18 inches
g /
Bearing Capacity: 2,000 PSF
If' All footings are to be excavated to and placed on native undisturbed soils (gray gravel with sand and silt) or
compacted structural fill. Footings are required to be a minimum of 18 inches below grade for freeze thaw
purposes. After excavation, compact any loose surface soils with a jumping jack compactor. These soils
shall be confirmed for bearing capacity and verified by the soils engineer after excavation.
It- After excavation, compact the surface with a jumping jack compactor. Confirm compaction of the native
soils and that all soft spots have been removed and replaced with suitable fill material and compacted to
least 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM 0-1557.
"" Continuous wall footings should be a minimum of 18 inches in width and any slab for the proposed building
should be suitably reinforced and connected to the footings so as to limit the effects of differential settlement
and to provide some degree of uniform settlement ability for the building should the site undergo
liquefaction during a major seismic event

~ In the area of sample pit #6, there was miscellaneous debris, fill, used tires and wood. No trash debris was
found in the other sample pits. The total area and quantity of trash found in this area is uncertain. Footing
excavation should be carefully observed during excavation on the sloped area to ensure all trash is removed
and the native soils are found
/f# The use of on-site soils as structural fill is acceptable. If these soils are to be used for structural fill,
laboratory samples will need to be taken for grain size analysis and moisture-density relationships.
Structural fill shall be compacted to at least 95" of maximum density per ASlM D1557 in footing areas.
The footings should be proportioned to meet the stated bearing capacity and/or the International Building Code
2003 minimum requirements. Total settlement should be limited to 1 inch total with differential settlement of 3/4
inch. Any excessively loose or soft spots or areas that do not meet the compaction requirements that are
encountered in the footing subgrade will require over-excavation and backfilling with at least 1 foot of structural
fill In order to minimize the effects of any slight differential movement that may occur due to variations in the
characters of the supporting soils and any variations in seasonal moisture contents, it is recommended that all
continuous footings be suitably reinforced to make them as rigid as possible.
It is recommended that the services of our firm be engaged to test and evaluate the soil conditions during the
construction phase of the project The design values and recommendations made herein are valid only insomuch
as they are followed during the construction phase. Additionally, monitoring and testing during the construction
phase needs be performed to verify the subgrade conditions and that suitable materials are used and that they are
properly placed and compacted.
Lateral Earth Pressures:
Lateral earth pressures are dependent upon the backfill materials and their configuration and moisture content.
Three inch minus sand and gravel mixtures that are free draining are recommended for backfilling walls greater
than four feet tall Below grade retaining walls or walls designed for retaining earthen fills on this project may use
the following values for design. Values were obtained based on a unit weight of 130 pcf, and a phi angle of 34
degrees.

Structural Fill:
Structural fill should consist of a 3 inch minus select, clean, granular soil with no more than 5% fines (-#200).
Suitable structural fill should consist of material that meets one of the following specifications, WSDOT Section 9-
03.10 Aggregate for Gravel Base, WSDOT Section 9-00.14(1) Gravel Borrow, WSDOT Section 9-03.14(2) Select

Surfacing (Top Course Specs), APW A Oass A Pit Run, or APW A class B Pit Run. Material that does not meet one
of the specifications should be submitted with sieve analysis results for approval prior to placement.
The fill should be placed in lifts not to exceed 12 inches in loose thickness. Each layer of structural fill should be
compacted to a minimum density of 95" of the maximum dry density as determined by ASlM designation 0-1557.
For structural fill below footings, the area of the compacted backfill must extend outside the perimeter of the
foundation for a distance at least equal to the thickness of the fill between the bottom of the foundation and the

underlying soils. H it is elected to utilize a compacted backfill for the support of foundations, the subgrade
preparation and the placing of the backfill should be monitored continuously by a qualified engineer or his
representative so that the work is performed according to these recommendations.
Slope Impact Analysis:
Sample pits placed near the sloped portion of the site appear to less dense in the upper layers those observed at
lower areas farther to the east of the site. It is likely the existing slope was modified, especially in the area of test
pits #6 and #7 where debris was found. Footing excavation should be carefully observed during excavation on the
sloped area to ensure all trash is removed and the native soils are found. Re-grading of the slopes will be necessary
to reach native competent soils for a solid foundation. Excavation into the slope may increase the steepness of the
existing slope and require houses in this area to be of a daylight basement structure.
We do not anticipate that the proposed residential structure and construction of the project will have any off-site
impacts. On-site care should be taken during construction to make sure that runoff caused by wet weather is
directed away from all open excavations. The site is stable enough to support the proposed residential construction
within the recommendations made herein. There were no signsof previous slope instability or failures.
Groundwater Control:
Groundwater was not encountered when the field exploration was conducted. A seep was noted only in sample
pit #1. Groundwater is not expected to cause difficulties during construction of this project It is recommended
that runoff caused by wet weather be directed away from all open excavations. The on-site silty soils can be
expected to become soft and pump if subjected to excessive traffic after becoming wet during periods of bad
weather. This can be avoided by constructing temporary or permanent driveway sections should wet weather be
forecast. The on-site drainage (roof drains & catch basins for pavement areas) should be collected and directed
away from the property. This can be accomplished by tight-lining the drainage to the approved storm drainage
system.
Retaining walls should contain at least 12 inches of free draining material behind the wall as well as a 6 inch
perforated drainpipe at the bottom of the wall to alleviate any pressure buildup. Connect the drainpipe to the on
site storm drainage system.

Construction Considerations
Earthwork:
Excessively organic top soils generally undergo high volume changes when subjected to loads. This is detrimental
to the behavior of pavements, floor slabs, structural fills and foundations placed upon them. It is recommended
that excessively organic top soils be stripped from these areas to depths of 6-12 inches and wasted or stockpiled for
later use. Exact depths of stripping should be adjusted in the field to assure that the entire root zone is removed. It
is recommended that the final exposed subgrade be inspected by a representative of the soils engineer. This
inspection should verify that all organic material has been removed. Any soft spots or deflecting areas should be
removed to sound bearing and replaced with structural fill.
Once the existing soils are excavated to the design grade, proper control of the subgrade conditions (ie., moisture
content) and the placement &: compaction of new fill (if required) should be maintained by a representative of the
soils engineer. The recommendations for structural fill presented within this report, can be utilized to minimize the
volume changes and differential settlements that are detrimental to the behavior of footings, and floor slabs.
Enough density tests should be taken to monitor proper compaction. For structural fill beneath building structures
one in-place density test per lift for every 1,000 ft2 is recommended. In parking and driveway areas this can be
increased to two tests per lift for every 1,000 ft2.
Excavation equipment may disturb the bearing soils and loose pockets can occur at bearing levels that were not
disclosed by the test pits. For this reason, it is recommended that the bottoms of the excavations be compacted in-
place by vibratory compactors. The upper 12 inches should be recompacted to achieve an in-place density of not
less than 95' of the maximum dry density as determined by ASlM 0-1557.
Excavations:
Shallow excavations required for construction of foundations that do not exceed four feet in depth may be
constructed with side slopes approaching vertical Below this depth it is recommended that slopes not exceed one
vertical to one horizontal. For deep excavations, the soils present cannot be expected to remain in position. These
materials can be expected to fail, and collapse into any excavation thereby undermining the upper soils materials.
This is especially true when working at depths near the water table. Proper care must be taken to protect personnel
and equipment
Care must be taken so that all excavations made for the foundations are properly backfilled with suitable material
compacted according to the procedures outlined in this report Before the backfill is placed, all water and loose
debris should be removed from these excavations.
This information is provided for planning purposes. It is our opinion that maintaining safe working conditions is
the responsibility of the contractor. Jobsite conditions such as soil moisture content, weather condition, earth
movements and equipment type and operation can all affect slope stability. All excavations should be sloped or
braced as required by applicable local, state and federal requirements.
Floor Slab-On-Grade:
Before the placing of concrete floors or pavements on the site, or before any floor supporting fill is placed, the
organic, loose or obviously compressive materials must be removed. The subgrade should then be verified by the
geotechnical engineer or his representative that all soft or deflecting areas have been removed. Areas of excessive
yielding should be excavated and backfilled with structural fill.

Any additional fill used to increase the elevation of the floor slab should meet the requirement for structural fill
Structural fill should be placed in layers of not more than 12 inches in thickness, at moisture contents at or above
optimum, and compacted to a minimum density of 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASlM
designation 0-1557.
A granular mat should be provided below the floor slabs. This should be a minimum of four inches in thickness
and properly compacted. The mat should consist of sand or a sand and gravel mixture with non-plastic fines. All
material should pass a 3f4 inch sieve and contain less than 10'-' passing the #200 sieve. Groundwater can be
expected at shallower depths during the winter months. A moisture barrier, such as visqueen or plastic sheeting,
may be placed beneath all floor slabs that are within a foot of the water table~ as determined during excavation.
Erosion Control (typical of most sites)
1. The implementation of these FSC plans and the construction, maintenance, replacement, and upgrading of
these FSC facilities is the responsibility of the owner j'FSC supervisor until all construction is approved.
2. The boundaries of the clearing should be clearly flagged by a continuous length of survey tape (or fencing, if
required) prior to construction. During the construction period, no disturbance beyond the clearing limits shall
be permitted. The clearing limits shall be maintained by the owner /FSC supervisor for the duration of
construction.
3. The FSC facilities are to ensure that the transport of sediment to surface waters, drainage systems, and adjacent
properties is minimized.
4. The FSC facilities shown on this plan are the minimum requirements for anticipated site conditions. During
the construction period, these FSC facilities shall be upgraded as needed for unexpected storm events and
modified to account for changing site conditions (e.g., additional sump pumps, relocation of ditches and silt
fences, etc.). .
5. The FSC facilities shall be inspected daily by the owner/ESe supervisor and maintained to ensure continued
proper functioning.
6. Any areas of exposed soils, including roadway embankments, that will not be disturbed for two days during
the wet season or seven days during the dry season shall be immediately stabilized with the approved FSC
methods (e.g., seeding, mulching, plastic covering, etc.).
7. The FSC facilities on inactive sites shall be inspected and maintained a minimum of once a month or within
forty-eight (48) hours following a storm event
8. At no time shall more than one (1) foot of sediment be allowed to accumulate within a catch basin. All catch
basins and conveyance lines shall be cleaned prior to paving. The cleaning operation shall not flush
sediment-laden water into the downstream system.
9. Stabilized construction entrances and roads shall be installed at the beginning of construction and maintained
for the duration of the project Additional measures, such as wash pads, may be required to ensure that all
paved areas are kept clean for the duration of the project
10. Any permanent flow control facility used as a temporary settling basin shall be modified with the necessary
erosion control measures and shall provide adequate storage capacity. H the facility is to function ultimately as
an infiltration system, the temporary facility must be graded so that the bottom and sides are at least three feet
above the final grade of the permanent facility.
11. Where straw mulch for temporary erosion control is required, it shall be applied at a minimum thickness of 2 to

Pavement Design Recommendations
On the basis of the results of laboratory tests and the assumed traffic counts of the proposed project, the pavement
profile should consist of the following recommendations:
Existing Subgrade:
1) All subgrade preparation work to be performed should be monitored by a representative of our firm.
2) Over-excavate any areas that exhibit pumping of the subgrade soils at least 12 inches (or as directed by a
representative from our firm). Replace with gravel base material If subgrade is saturated or pumping
excessively after over-excavating then it may be necessary to place quarry spalls on the subgrade prior to
placement of any gravel base material
3) On the basis of the existing soils type, the onsite conditions, and the anticipated traffic conditions we
recommend that the existing subgrade being compacted to 95~ of the maximum dry density as determined by
ASlM 0-1557 (Modified Proctor).
4) Under certain site conditions the existing subgrade can be accepted by proof-rolling the subgrade using a fully
loaded dump truck. This procedure (if used) should be witnessed and accepted by a representative of our firm.
5) A geotextile fabric (if used) should be placed upon the approved subgrade to maintain the structural integrity
of the pavement profile. The fabric should be a type of fabric specifically made for use in road construction
Crushed Surfacing:
1) The layer of crushed surfacing material should consist of 6 inches of WSDOT Section 9-03.9(3) Crushed
Surfacing (Base Course Specs) that is placed and compacted to 95% of the maximum dry density as determined
by ASlM 0-1557 (Modified Proctor).
2) All of the crushed surfacing and Gravel Base material could at the contractor's option consist of WSDOT
Section 9-03.9(3) Crushed Surfacing (Top Course Specs) that is placed and compacted to 95% of the maximum
dry density as determined by ASlM 0-1557 (Modified Proctor).
3) The material should be placed in lifts not to exceed 6 inches, with each lift being compacted and verified.
4) The crushed surfacing material should be placed to provide the proper grade and drainage for the' asphalt
pavement.
Asphalt Concrete Pavement:
1) The asphalt pavement should consist of at least 3.0 inches of WSDOT Class B asphalt that is placed and
compacted to at least 91 % of the theoretical maximum density as determined by ASlM 0-2041 (Rice Method).
2) Provide a tack coat on all concrete surfaces that the pavement will be placed against, and for multiple lifts that
are not placed within an hour time period.
Conclusion
All footings are to be placed on native undisturbed soils (gray gravel with sand and silt). The existing slope
appears to be manmade in locations and should be excavated to native soils foundation placement When the
plans and specifications are complete, or if significant changes are made in the character or location of the proposed
structures, a consultation should be arranged to review them regarding the prevailing soil conditions. Then, it may
be necessary to submit supplementary recommendations. While the recommendations made herein are considered
sufficient in detail for the construction of the proposed project, there are many alternative methods of construction
which are available. We can discuss various other options for construction at your request.

LEVEL ONE
DOWNSTREAM ANALYSIS
DOWNSTREAM NARRATIVE
Project Location
The proposed Steel Lake Crest Plat is located at 30642 28th Avenue South, Federal Way,
Washington. The site falls between 28th Avenue South, on the west, and the Interstate 5
right-of-way to the east. Private property bounds the site on the north and south. Except
for the northeast corner, which is clipped diagonally by Military Road South, the overall
shape of the site is rectangular. It being approximately 100 feet longer east to west than
north to south. Steel Lake lies directly to the west, and a small portion of the site (the
extreme northwest comer) is within 200 feet of the lakes shoreline. Approximately one
quarter mile due east of the site, across the Interstate 5 right-of-way, is Dolloff Lake. The
location of these two lakes is relevant to the project because ultimately they receive the
storm drainage from the site.
The project consists of four existing parcels (parcel #'s 0921049096, 0921049161,
0921049182 & 0921049183) which total approximately 6.77 acres. The four parcels are
owned by three individual parties who currently live in existing homes on the site. Their
homes, the only existing residences on the site, all front off of 28th Avenue South. The
project proposes removing their homes, creating 28 new I.ots and building new structures
on them.
The site naturally slopes from the southwest comer to the northeast corner. There is an
approximnte drop of70 feet across the site, with an average slope of9.3%. There are a
few small areas where the average slope exceeds 40%. The majority of these steep slope
areas are not naturally occurring, but are the result of man made fills in the backyards of
the existing homes. The areas around these existing homes are typically landscaped, with
lawns and flower beds, and maintained by the home owners. Away from the landscaped
yards, the site is mostly non-maintained native vegetation. The site is wooded with many
large fir trees. Generally speaking, the further east you go the heavier and denser the
underbrush becomes.

Basin
The prominent hydrology feature of this project is that the site lies in two different
drainage basins. The portion of 28th A venue South which fronts the project site is
essentially the dividing line between the Lower Puget Sound Basin and the Mill Creek
Basin. Currently flows from the roadside ditch on the eastern edge of 28th Avenue South,
enter into a culvert at the northwest corner of the project site, where it gets conveyed
eventually to Steel Lake. Steel Lake is in the Lower Puget Sound Drainage Basin and is
part of the Central Puget Sound Watershed. Because the topography of the site slopes
northeasterly away from 28th Avenue South, any storm water from the site which does
not get into the roadside ditch will naturally flow northeast, away from Steel Lake. This
is the majority of the storm water drainage from the site. The natural point of discharge
for this storm water is along the northeast boundary line. This runoff will eventually
make its way to Dolloff Lake. Dolloff Lake is part of the Mill Creek Drainage Basin and
Duwamish-Green River Watershed. The project lies within the Duwamish-Green River
King County Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) Code Number 9. According to the
King County Districts and Development Conditions Report, there are no mapped hazards
(Coal Mine, Erosion, Landslide or Seismic) at the site, and the site is not located in a
Critical Aquifer Recharge Area.
Wetland Inventory
The 1990 King County Wetland Survey was accessed to determine the location and
classification of potential wetlands in the vicinity of the project. No wetlands were found
to be present on the site. There is an existing wetland east of the Interstate 5 right-of-
way, associated with Dolloff Lake, that's approximately one-quarter of a mile from the
site. There are no other mapped wetlands in the vicinity of the project.
King County Soils Survey
T!1e King County Soils Survey Maps provided by the United States Department of
Agriculture Soil Conservation Service were reviewed to determine the soil characteristics
within the project basin with respect to the soils susceptibility to landslides and erosion
and its capability for groundwater recharge and surface water runoff. Upon their review,
the maps indicate the soils in the project area are Alderwood type soils. Typical
Alderwood soils are moderately well drained, undulating to hilly soils that have dense,
very slowly permeable glacial till at a depth of 20 to 40 inches.
Jason Engineering & Consulting Business, Inc., a geotechnical engineering firm, has
been retained to perform soil testing on the site. Their report titled Subsurface
Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Report, is dated June 20,2007 (Appendix A.)
The report classifies the western half of the project as Alderwood (AgB) ~oils and the
3

fA~R~Qf JML
eastern half of the project as Alderwood (AgC) soils. See their complete report for
additional geotechnical information.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) FloodplainlFloodway Maps
FEMA Floodplain/Floodway Maps were reviewed and there were no identified 100 year
or 500 year floodplains on the project site.
Storm Drainage Complaints
The City of Federal Way Surface Water Management Division and the King County
Department of Natural Resources and Parks, Stormwater Services (SWS) Section were
contacted concerning the acquisition of any necessary storm drainage complaints in the
general vicinity of the project or along the path of the downstream. The county listed
five complaints of which three were unavailable and deemed not relevant due to age. The
other two complaints come from Steel Lake frontage neighbors which experienced some
flooding from a storm event in late November, 1990. A copy of their complaints' are
attached to the back of this report. JeffWolfP.E., City of Federal Way Surface Water
Management Engineer, responded in an e-mail dated May 20, 2008 that there have not
been any drainage complaints or issues that have not been resolved in either of the sites
downstream basins. He did state that flooding used to occur along S. 304th Street near
Dolloff Lake, but the county constructed a flood control berm which apparently corrected
the problem. No complaints have ever been filed from any ofthe projects parcels, and no
records exist of any complaints having ever been filed from the projects adjacent parcels.
Level One Downstream Narrative
The following Level One Downstream narrative corresponds with the physical
downstream inspection conducted on Friday, April 20, 2007. The photographs
referenced in this narrative are shown in Appendix 1 of this report. All photos were taken
during the inspection mentioned above, and their locations are identified on the map
found in Appendix II. The temperature at the time of the field inspection was
approximately 60 degrees and the weather was mostly cloudy with occasional sun. There
had not been any rainfall over the previous couple of days to generate any new runoff,
and for the most part the ground surfaces were dry.
The natural discharge point for the majority of the project sites area (everything east of
the roadside drainage ditch adjacent to 28th Avenue South's edge-of-pavement), is
essentially the projects northwest comer property line with Military Road South. This
area of the site is heavily vegetated. Photos A and B are looking towards the project site
interior from the northeast. Once the flow leaves the site it joins with any flow collected
in the roadside ditch along the west side of Military Road. This ditch flow comes from
the north at the South 304th Street intersection, Photo C. Any drainage from this ditch
4
EXHIBIT --L..
o<PA&!DsLNe~F ~
would flow south through a 12 inch concrete culvert under the northern adjacent parcels
driveway, and enter into the projects frontage with Military Road, Photo D. Here the
combined flow would follow the Military Road right-of-way in an undefined ditch,
(Photo E) bending southeast approximately 50 feet towards a flat grassy area (Photo F)
located at the northwest comer of the projects frontage with the Interstate 5 right-of-way.
Although the natural terrain in this area slopes east towards Dolloff Lake, Military Road
and Interstate 5 effectively block any storm water runoff at this grassy area, Photo G.
The state Department of Transportation however, provides an 18 inch concrete culvert
(Photo H) that allows drainage under both Military Road and Interstate 5. The culvert
was installed with a measured slope of 13% downward in an easterly direction. It has a
length of about 190 feet and terminates in a Type 2 catch basin located in the north
shoulder of Military Road directly under the north bound overpass of Interstate 5. Three
other drainage lines input to this catch basin, with one 18 inch line actually providing
flow. The line was coming from a large inaccessible storm drainage manhole located
between the north and south bound freeway lanes, and it is assumed that it is part of the
interstates drainage system. The output from the Type 2 catch basin is through an 18
inch CPEP pipe that extends 44 feet before discharging along the north side of Military
Road, Photo 1. There is now base flow associated with this part of the downstream. The
channel is about 2 inches deep and about 2 feet wide, but the flow is slow. The channel
meanders northwesterly through heavy brush (Photo J) for about 340 feet until it
intersects 31 st Avenue South. An 18 inch CMP culvert placed under the 31 st Avenue
South right-of way allows the flow to pass from the west side of the road (Photo K) to the
east side (Photo L). The culvert is approximately 50 feet long and appears to be
relatively free of sediment. The flow continues east from here in a shallow channel,
through a heavily vegetated marshy area, Photo M. The main body of Dolloff Lake is
just under 100 feet away. This side of the lake is very swamp like, with thick under brush
and becomes somewhat inaccessible (Photo N). The runoff does however enter into the
lake at this point, Photo 0, where it will eventually drain to Mill Creek, the Green River
and finally Puget Sound.
Because 28th A venue South is the division between two basin areas, a small portion of the
project drains west, and discharges to Steel Lake. This is primarily the offsite area of the
project, the runoff from the east half of 28th Avenue and whatever runoff that makes it
into the road side ditch fronting the west edge of the site (Photo P). The ditch ends at the
existing driveway at the northwest comer of the project site. Here a 12 inch concrete
culvert conveys any flow in the ditch northwest to a Type 1 catch basin located in the
west shoulder of 28th A venue South. The culvert is approximately 65 feet long and was
installed with a 5.7% slope. At the catch basin, runoff from the site joins runoff from the
west side ditch of 28th A venue. This runoff starts south of the site at the northwest comer
of the intersection of 28th Avenue and South 309th Street, Photo Q. It flows north in a
ditch until it reaches a 12 inch concrete culvert approximately 100 feet south of the catch
basin, Photo R. Leaving the initial catch basin, the flow will travel north approximately
200 feet, tight-lined in a 12 inch concrete pipe, through two more Type 1 catch basins
(Photo S), until at a third Type 1 catch basin it is directed west towards a storm drainage
manhole on private property (Photo T). At the manhole, the runoff is joined by flow
from an 18 inch concrete culvert. The culvert drains a small area directly MSS IT L-
PAGE~OF1bi[
5 06066 _REV-DSNarrative.doc
A venue. The output of the manhole is an 18 inch concrete pipe that heads west and
discharges into Steel Lake, Photo U. Access to the actual discharge point, which is on
private property, is restricted (Photo V). The outlet to Steel Lake flows to the northwest,
and eventually reaches Puget Sound at Redondo.
Summary
In summary, the downstream field observations and analysis of the two separate drainage
basins show that they are in good condition. The project proposes releasing storm water
from the developed site in a manner consistent with the prescribed methods of the City of
Federal Ways storm water design manual. Storm water discharged into the Mill Creek
Basin will be subjected to Levell Detention and Basic Water Quality via a combined wet
pond system. The minimal runoff generated by the new impervious surfaces, created by
the required street improvements to 28th A venue South, will be treated for water quality
by the installation of a catch basin filter. The treated runoff will then be conveyed in the
existing storm water system, and discharged into Steel Lake. Both basins do not display
signs of erosion or flooding and should easily accommodate the increased net volume of
flow associated with the development.

path of flow apparently coming f~om across the neighbor's property to the south. That
property is considerably higher than Spanels. In fact most of the area is higher than
Spane's except one or two lots further nort~. Spane's and those lots are on Steel Lake.
Spane had numerous complaints about the neighbor to the south:not allowing she & her
husband on the property to clean the storm drain. not cleaning the pine needles out
of the draint not keeping the yard UP. too much garbage, suing everyones etc, etc.
The neighbor to the south receives drainage flow from the south and east due to terrain.
There is a moderate slope above t whereas the slope drops abruptly onto Spane's.
A catch basin is located in the driveway to this neighbor's and ano~her neighbor further
south. This basin receives water from the south through a 12" concrete pipe and from
surface flow on the paved driveway. This neighbor owns half of the driveway.
The water then discharges north through a 12" concrete pipe. r did not see the terminus
of this pipe. Spans contends that it was damaged mid-run during the neighbor1s bulldozing
activities this year.
I su,ggested to her that this situation appea~ed to be a private probl em and that the County
did not to appear to have any involvement.

Observed site and.met carolyn Sni lly feD 1,rgl.Also on S1 I~ on Dec. 18.190.
The house is on a moderate slope to Steel Lake, on the east side. A paved private
driveway leads the first 200f' from 28th Ave S. towards her house. She owns the
driveway, however the neighbors above her along 28th paved it without her consent.
The driveway was graded with a trough in the center leading to a standard Type I CB
halfway from 28th S. to her house. I observed a 12" pipe leading out of the CB, but
since it's on private property I did not thoroughly view the interior with Q-beam
and mirror. Snitily says the pipes are actually only 4" and drain from various single-
family residences ~o the south.
She bought the house in 1978 and 10 years ago hired a civil engineer from the East
side to gather evidence about the pOSSible flood damage she could sustain from the
neighbor's work on paving the driveway and the existing storm lines they intercepted.
this engineer testified that the storm system collected approximately 6 acres and.
that he had traced it up to S. 309th st. by going through people's backyards, but
there were no CBIS in the line. '.
Snitily says the line ruptured in Dee.la9 and has been filled with sediment and o~~r-
flowing since. She says the runoff flows down to the north onto Spane\s and the,other
further north neighbor. She also receives a portion of it. It has saturated her
basement. A 4" concrete line drains from the northeast corner of her,hbuse near her
drivew4Y then to the northwest into the corner of her ~ot then onto Spane's and into

Maintenance
Component
Defect
Conditions When Maintenance
Is Needed
Results Expected When
Maintenance Is Perfonned
General
Any trash and debris which exceed 1 cubic foot
per 1,000 square feet (this is about equal to the
amount of trash it would take to fill up one
standard size office garbage can). In general,
there should be no visual evidence of dumping.
Poisonous Vegetation Any poisonous or nuisance vegetation which
may constitute a hazard to County personnel or
the public.
Trash & Debris
Pollution Oil, gasoline, or other contaminants of one
gallon or more 2!: any amount found that could:
1) cause damage to plant, animal, or marine life;
2) constitute a fire hazard; or 3) be flushed
downstream during rain storms.
Unmowed Grass/ If facility is located in private residential area,
Ground Cover mowing is needed when grass exceeds 18
inches in height. In other areas, the general
policy is to make the pond site match adjacent
ground cover and terrain as long as there is no
interference with the function of the facility.
Rodent Holes Any evidence of rodent holes if facility is acting
as a dam or berm, or any evidence of water
piping through dam or berm via rodent holes.
Insects When insects such as wasps and hornets
interfere with maintenance activities.
Tree Growth Tree growth does not allow maintenance access
or interferes with maintenance activity (i.e., slope
mowing, silt removal, vactoring, or equipment
movements). If trees are not interfering with
access, leave trees alone.
Eroded damage over 2 inches deep where
cause of damage is still present or where there
is potential for continued erosion.
Side Slopes of Pond Erosion
Storage Area Sediment
Accurr ::ated sediment that exceeds 10% of the
designed pond depth.
Pond Dikes Settlements
Any part of dike which has settled 4 inches lower
than the design elevation.
Only one layer of rock exists above native soil in
area five square feet or larger, or any exposure
of native soil at the top of out flow path of
spillway. Rip-rap on inside slopes need not be
replaced.
Emergency Rock Missing
Overflow/Spillway
Trash and debris cleared from site.
No danger of poisonous vegetation
where County personnel or the
public might normally be.
(Coordination with Seattle-King
County Health Department)
No contaminants present other than
a surface film. (Coordination with
Seattle/King County Health
Department)
When mowing is needed,
grass/ground cover should be
mowed to 2 inches in height.
Mowing of selected higher use
areas rather than the entire slope
may be acceptable for some
situations.
Rodents destroyed and dam or
berm repaired. (Coordination with
Seattle/King County Health
Department)
I nsects destroyed Of removed from
site.
Trees do not hinder maintenance
activities. Selectively cultivate trees
such as alders for firewood.
Slopes should be stabilized by
using appropriate erosion control
measure(s); e.g., rock
reinforcement, planting of grass,
compaction.
Sediment cleaned out to designed
pond shape and depth; pond
reseeded if necessary to control
erosion.
Dike should be built back to the
design elevation.
Replace rocks to design standards.

RE: Steel Lake Crest 06-1 06494-PC
Dear Ms. Barker,
The Federal Way School District recently received information on Steel Lake Crest, a proposed 29-lot
subdivision. The project is located east of 28th Ave S and north ofS 308th ST.
Under current boundaries Wildwood Elementary, Sacajawea Middle School and Federal Way High School
service areas. School service areas are reviewed each year and necessary boundary changes may be made to
accommodate enrollment increases. Students living in this area receive school bus transportation to
Wildwood Elementary and Sacajawea Middle School. Under current boundaries students would walk to
Federal Way High. Bus stops are reviewed annually as student transportation needs change. The closest
stop for Wildwood Elementary is on 28th Ave S at S 310th ST. The closest stop for Sacajawea Middle
School is on 28th Ave S at S 311th ST. .
Student safety must be considered for all students who would walk to the schools and to school bus stops
from this development. Sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for
students are factors the district must consider as we comment on development within our service areas. We
ask the developer to prepare a "School Access Analysis" to the elementary, middle school and high school
from this proposed development. Attached are guidelines for preparing this analysis.
The most recent Federal Way School District Capital Facilities Plan indicates a student yield of .7060 from
new single-family housing. This development could add 20 to 21 new students. These are averages only;
the actual number of students may vary. This may create a need for additional space, equipment and. staff.
'This impact is mitigated by the collection of impact fees.
The District appreciates the opportunity to comment on this proposed development.
Sincerely,
/"

School Access Analysis
New development creates a need for analysis of student pedestrian safety. The Federal Way
School District would prefer an analysis of walking paths to schools and bus stops from new
subdivisions be prepared by the developer prior to final comments on impacts.
Generally a walking route should be planned to assure that school-age pedestrians from a
neighborhood:
· Cross the fewest number of streets to reduce vehicle-pedestrian exposures
· Walk on sidewalks or paths where available;
· Walk the shortest possible distance on streets without sidewalks or wide shoulders;
· Walk on the left side of the road facing traffic on streets where practicable;
· Avoid high speed, high volume roads and roads with high truck volume.
· Make maximwn use of protective techniques (traffic control devices, existing crossing guards
and school patrols.)
· Use easements with walkways through parks or other available areas where student safety is
maximized. Walkways and paths must be cleared of vegetation for maximwn visibility.
The analysis of walking paths to schools and school bus stop locations
from a new subdivision should include the following information:
. School location
· Description of sidewalks, pedestrian paths and shoulders including:
~ condition and width of shoulder and sidewalks;
~ whether shoulders are paved, gravel or grass, or non-existent;
~ whether sidewalks and pathways are immediately acljacent to
the 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 limits and warning signs, especially all 20 mph school speed limit zones;
· All stop and yield signs;
· Traffic signals including presence of marked. crosswalks and pedestrian signal indication.
Traffic signal timing and phasing for pedestrian crossing.
· Major sight line obstructions as measured from the height of children.
. Bicycle lanes or paths.
· Other relevant pedestrian safety factors observed.

Project: Steel Lake CreSt- File #06-106494-00-PC

RE: School Access Analysis
Dear Ms. Walker,
The following School Access Analysis pertains to the Steel Lake Crest Plat, File #06-
106494-00-PC, located at 30642 28th Avenue South. The purpose of this analysis is to
provide a safe passage for the potential school-age pedestrians from the new development
to the schools serving the area. Those schools are Wlldwood Elementary School, located
at 2405 South 300th Street, Sacajawea Junior High School, located at 1101 South Dash
Point Road, and Federal Way High School, located at 30611 16th Avenue South. School
bus service is provided to Wildwood Elementary School and Sacajawea Junior High
School. The proposed Steel Lake Crest development is within the one mile walking
radius of Federal Way High School, and no bus service will be offered. Therefore a safe
walking route to Federal Way High School must be developed paying particular attention
to already huilt sidewalks and safety. This letter is thus the developer's written response
to satisfy the Federal Way School District's requirement for an analysis of walking paths
to schools and bus stops from new subdivisions.
In regard to a new development in the Federal Way School District area and the
preference of walking paths to both bus stops and schools we have found a safe
resolution. Establishing our starting point at 30642 28th Avenue South, directly in front of
the develogment, we found the path to the bus stop at the comer of 28th Avenue South and
South 310 Street for Wildwood Elementary School consisted of an asphalt road and 6
feet of additional asphalt for the shoulder extending from the white barrier line. The area
is relatively flat and includes a drainage ditch at the edge of shoulder, which is present on
the majority of the walk. This ditch averages ~ - I ~ ft. deep and is hidden while
driveways and side roads cover it. Various plants and fauna are present as well,
overhanging the shoulder occasionally, but not likely to cause a problem. Similarly, the
other concerned bus stop at 28th Avenue South and South 311th Street rRSQEWED

Sacaj~we~ Junior High School has similar attributes. The 6 feet of shoulder WQug th~
road IS still present as well as the drainage ditch of 1 ~ feet deep. On the other hand,
when walking towards this bus stop you will encounter fewer branches overhanging the
shoulder, but a lot more shrubbery off of it.
Concernin~ a route for students walking to Federal Way High School, we have found that
South 312 Street will be a safer route to walk to school then South 304th Street. When
walking past the previous bus stops, south towards S 312th St, you will notice the same 6
foot asphalt shoulder and the same I ~ feet deep ~e ditch as mentioned before. As
you encounter the intersection of S 312th St and 28th Ave S, you will find yourself at the
Steel Lake Maintenance Facility, as its driveway is one of the roads of this intersection.
This intersection is a 4-way stop, consisting of stop signs in all directions, with sidewalks
located on the southern part of 28th Ave S and one that crosses S 312th St, each with a
pedestrian warning sign. First, you must cross the entrance of the maintenance facility
where there is no crosswalk and then you will find yourself at a 6 inch gutter sidewalk.
that's 7 feet wide stretching down 28th Ave S. There you must cross 28th Ave S using its
associated crosswalk and end up traveling west on S 312th St. There you will find that the
shoulder is now 6 ~ feet wide from the white gore stripe to the edge of the asphalt
paving. There is another 7 ~ feet of gravel and small branches to the left of shoulder
before you will encounter a drainage ditch which ranges from 5 in. to 1 ~ ft. in depth as it
makes it's way downhill towards Pacific Highway South. At the Steel Lake Annex
entrances, there are stop signs for the vehicular traffic associated to these roads, but no
pedestrian crosswalks present as you must cross these to continue your way.
Upon reaching the bottom of the hill you will approach a roadside barrier extending
approximately 97 feet and constraining shrubbery and fauna which extends about another
200 feet after the barrier. Here the white barrier line turns into reflectors that are placed
every 4 ~ feet from each other. At that location a 6 inch high curb with a 12 foot wide
sidewalk begins. The sidewalk has planted trees in it every 3-25 ft. along the curb side of
it and is 6 feet from the reflector line. Next you will approach the intersection of S 312th
St and 23rd Ave S. This is a 3-way intersection, is regulated with traffic lights, crosswalks
on all roads and the reflector line stops. There you must cross 23rd Ave S and the signal
allows a fair amount of time to cross this street (about 10 sec.). This sidewalk consists of
plants and trees laid out like the previous one, but they are now spaced every 10-35 ft.
There is a fence 2 feet outside of the sidewalk with a rock ledge emerging at the edge of
sidewalk. raising the fence 3-2 feet as it diminishes upon arriving at the next intersection.
The intersection ofS 312th St and 20th Ave S is a 4-way intersection and is regulated with
traffic lights, and crosswalks on all roads. This one however comes equipped to help the
sight impaired with "beeps" and says what road you are going and which direction. This
sidewalk continues the rock ledge for approximately 26 feet and continues with plants
and trees in the same manner as the previous sidewalk. Then three, 20 foot long shade
awnings have been built on the edge of the side walk. They are connected with a unique
ground layout of concrete slabs. You must then cross a back entrance to Wal-mart to
which there is a stop sign but no crosswalk and continue on your way towards the
intersection with Pacific Highway South.

This intersection of Pacific Highway South and S 3I2th Street is very busy. It is a 4-way
intersection. is regulated with traffic lights and also comes equipped with helping the
sight impaired. You must cross Pacific Highway So~ then heading north cross S 312th
Street. Here you will find yourself on an S ft. wide curbed and guttered sidewalk with a 5
ft. wide planting strip of trees and grass. This continues for approximately 100 feet till
you reach a parking lot entrance. There it changes to a 5 feet wide sidewalk stretching for
about 110 feet and is roughly 12 feet from the white barrier line. Then, the sidewalk stops
and you are 12 feet from the white barrier line right next to immediate parking extending
about 70 feet. This then leads to an S feet wide curbed and guttered sidewalk with a 5 feet
planter strip of ivy which is about 12 feet from the white barrier line and stretches about
100 feet. The sidewalk then stops and you are then left alone with 12 feet to the white
barrier line and a gravel area about 70 feet long by 9 feet wide. This leads to a large 50
feet asphalt comer at Pacific Highway South and S 30Sth Street, the last intersection
before the school This intersection is a 4-way, regulated with traffic lights, crosswalks on
all roads, but is not equipped with sight impaired equipment. You then cross S 30Sth St
and you will end up on Federal Way High School grounds and there is a concrete
pathway leading directly to the school and its entrance. .
The streets associated with this path have moderate to high density traffic on them, but
this section of Pacific Highway South is commonly known as having very high levels.
The posted speed limits of 312th Street and 2Sth Avenue are both 35 mph, on Pacific
Highway South it is 45 mph. 1'hele are no bicycle lanes or any paths to help in safety in
this route, any sight obstructions, or any other pedestrian safety features.

RE: Sight Distance Survey Report - Revised
Dear Raid,
The following is a revised Sight Distance Report of the sight distance survey that was ,
performed for the proposed plat Steel Lake Crest in accordance with the Pre Application
Conference Summary, dated February 6, 2007. The sight distance survey for the
proposed plat was conducted on April 13, 2007. The initial survey found that there will
be the required AASHTO entering sight distance available for three of the four entering
site distance maneuvering conditions from the proposed two residential intersections with
28th Ave South.
After considering several options including reducing the speed limit on 28th Ave South
from 35 mph to 30 mph to bring the left turning movement from the proposed northerly
access point into compliance and in lieu of comments from local citizens over concerns
about the excessive speeds along the 28th Avenue South corridor the City agreed to one of
the lesser desired alternatives. This alternative is to remove the northerly street access
and reconfigure the preliminary plat with only the one remaining ingress/egress point.
This alternative would also require a revised road modification request to allow the "W"
Street section for that portion of the internal street where trips for all of the now 28
residential lots combine at the projects one access onto 28th Avenue South. This revised
road modification was discussed and it was agreed that the "W" Street section could be
retained for that portion of the access that has all 28 lots contributing to it. It was also
agreed that there would be no parking allowed along either side of the street in that
portion in deference to the traffic volumes and turning movements associated with
ingressing and egressing on and off of 28th Avenue South from the proposed project. The
revised road modification will also will also be resubmittal for consideraft!~~ED
.0 7 -103897 NOVO 22007
~XHIBI7 -L:~fI~D~ WAY
PAGE-LOF ~crrDING DEPT.
From the initial sight distance survey report the only maneuvering condition that did not
meet the required distance was the southbound turning movement from the past proposed
northern internal plat road to 28th Avenue South.. The line of site was interrupted
vertically by the crest of the road profile of 28th Avenue South and fell approximately 40-
feet short of meeting the AASHTO entering sight distance threshold. Also the
northbound turning movement would have require the selective pruning of low bushes
within the area of the public right-of-way to provide full visibility for a portion of the
viewing field at the driver sight point at the northern internal road. The regular
maintenance by the City road crews or selective pruning of the bushes within the public
right-of-way will provide the necessary sight distance to beyond the AASHTO threshold
and beyond. See the revised sight distance drawing, SD-l, that reflects the removal of
the northerly access from the proposed preliminary plat of Steel Lake Crest.
Therefore considering the above lack of compliance with the AASHTO entering site
distance standards the project proponents will be proposing to remove the northerly
access and provide half street improvements and associated shoulder tapers along our
frontage. With the proposed half street improvements there are no associated
improvements to any portion of the western half of 28th Ave South right-of-way. The
proposed improvements will retain the existing traveled lane widths for both the north
and southbound lanes of 28th Avenue South and intend to keep the existing gore stripe in
place to direct traffic to remain in the existing lane configuration and not utilize the
proposed widening as a through lane since the improvements are of such a short length it
would require drivers to perform unnecessary lane maneuvers and potentially increase the
potential for traffic accidents related to these maneuvers at the high vehicle speeds being
reported by City staff along this stretch of 28th Ave South. The proposal would include
the removal of the gore stripe at the proposed intersection if it meets with the
requirements of the City Traffic Engineer. Since the proposed project generated trips do
not warrant a two way left turn lane (TWLT), one is not proposed for the frontage along
28th Ave South.
It is also our understanding that there are proposed City of Federal Way intersection and
signalization improvements that are planned for the 312th Street and 28th Avenue South
intersection that will most likely require road widening and tapers along the eastern edge
of 28th Avenue South. The design for the proposed intersection improvements were not
available for a detailed analysis of the impacts of the proposed improvements and the
cumulative affects of both of the improvements along 28th Avenue South to include
pertinent facts or a discussion of that proposed project's relationship to the Steel Lake
Crest proposed improvements..
We have added the required Sight Distance photos to this report for your review.

RE: File #07-102S33-0O-SH; SHORELINE SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT EXEMPTION
Steel Lake Crest Preliminary Plat
Dear Mr. Schweikl:
This letter responds to your May 8, 2007 request, for a shoreline exemption to the proposed preliminary
plat development. The site is located in the NE quarter of Section 9, Township 21 North, Range 4 East,
W.M., and consists of several tax parcels including Parcel No. 092104-9096, which is developed with an
existing single-family residence. A small portion of the northwest comer of this parcel is mapped within
200 feet from Steel Lake, which is regulated as a shoreline of the state under Federal Way City Code
(FWCC). Proposed plat improvements include roadway widening, installation of curb, gutter, sidewalk,
utilities, landscaping, and grading on proposed lot #1 and on the adjoining right-of-way. Unless exempt,
any work proposed within 200 feet of the shoreline of the lake requires that a Shoreline Substantial
Development Permit be obtained from the City.
Shoreline Exemptions
City staff reviewed the WAC 173-27-040 for potential exemptions to the shoreline substantial
development permit, and also consulted Sandra Lange, lead staff with the Shorelands and Environmental
Assistance (SEA) Division, of the Washington State Deparbnent of Ecology regarding specific exemption
interpretations. The proposed roadway improvement work is included under the normal maintenance
section listing below, while grading work done within portions of proposed lot #1 is addressed under the
valua1ion section. A shoreline exemption means that a development application would not require a
shoreline substantial development permit, but must still comply with the SMP and the Shoreline
Management Act.
Normal Maintenance - According to your letter, e-mails, and the drawing submitted with the
preapplication conference request, work anticipated within the presumed shoreline setback area consists
of roadway widening and associated improvements of sidewalk, landscaping, and minor grading. In
reviewing submitted information, staff notes that roadway improvements would widen the dimension of
the improved right-of-way and add sidewalks where none presently exist, subsequently increasing the
overall infrastructure footprint. In a May 7, 2007 e-mail, Sandra Lange with Department of Ecology noted
that the roadway work could possibly be construed as a 'normal maintenance' exemption under WAC
173-27 -040.2.b if the roadwork is done in the common method and the replacement is ~&
original roadway in size, shape, configuration, location, and external appearance. Further, she states "that

the definition of normal maintenance or repair includes broad enough language to cover circumstances
where the work will not exactly replicate the development that existed before."
The Public Works Department noted in the City's February 6,2007, preapflication conference summary
letter that this project would be expected to cons1ruct improvements on 28 Avenue South to the City's
planned roadway cross-sections, 1 consisting of a 44-foot street with curb and gutter, six-foot planter strips
with street trees and street lights, eight-foot sidewalks, in a 78-foot right-of-way. Assuming a symmetrical
cross section, nine-foot ROW dedication and half street frontage improvements are required. Tapers and
transitions beyond the project frontage may be required as deemed necessary for safety purposes.
The 28th Avenue South roadway improvement would be parallel to the existing roadway, and would be
consistent in external appearance, shape, and configuration. Installation of curbing, gutter, sidewalk and
utility strip improvements increase the right-of-way footprint, yet are the common method for modem
roadway improvements. Further, these improvements would be landward of the existing roadway. Based
on these factors, street improvements that are required for this proposed subdivision, consisting but not
limited to installation of curb, gutter, planter strip with street trees, utilities and roadway widening located
within existing and future portions of the 28th Avenue South right-of-way that are located within the 200-
foot setback from the Steel Lake shoreline will be considered to meet the definition of normal
maintenance, and therefore will be exempt from the Shoreline Substantial Development Pennit
requirements, subject to the following condition:2
1. Off-site roadway restoration shall include the planting of shrubs and ground covers to eliminate
erosion potential. IIydro~eeding alone will not be acceptable.
Project Valuation - Any work that is not defined as normal maintenance, that is conducted within the
200-foot shoreline area, and does not exceed $5,000.00 in construction costs may be considered exempt
from Shoreline Substantial Development Permits per WAC 173-27 -040(2)(a). According to the
topographic map submitted with the preapplication conference, the northwest comer of proposed lot #1
contains slopes in excess of 40 percent. This area is also located within 200 feet of the shoreline area.
Your April 20, 2007 e-mail, indicated that there would be 20 cubic yards of on-site grading and you
assigned a value of $70.00 to grading associated with this area. Grading on lot #1 would not be
considered normal maintenance. However, as the grading does not exceed $5,000.00, it will be exempt
from Shoreline Substantial Development Permit requirements. Be advised that any proposed grading
activities still require subdivision and engineering review.
SUMMARY
Pursuant to the State Shoreline Management Act and the City of Federal Way Shoreline Master Program,
the roadway and grading work: associated with the preliminary plat that is located within 200 feet of the
Steel Lake shoreline is exetnpt ftom the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit process requirements
and is exempt from the requirements of a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit as the work is
classified as both "normal maintenance and repair" and "development of which the total cost does not
exceed $5,000.00" per Washington Administrative e WAC) sections 173-27-040(a) and 173-27-
040(b). The work is located within 200 feet irror Lake d is consistent with policies of the
1 Emphasis added.
2 Under WAC I 73-27-040(IXe), local governments may attach conditions to the approval of exempted developments and/or uses
to ensure that the project is consistent with the Shoreline Management Act.

Project: Steel Lake Crest- File #06-106494-00-PC

RE: Shoreline Exemption Request
Dear Director,
The following Shoreline Exemption Request pertains to the Steel Lake Crest Plat, File
#06-106494-00-PC, located at 30642 28th Avenue South. The purpose of this request is to
obtain an exemption from the shoreline substantial development permit being required by
the City of Federal Way for the Steel Lake Crest preliminary plat application. This letter
is thus the written formal request seeking this exemption.
The. cities basis' for requiring this permit, as defined under Federal Way City Code
(FWCC) section 18-162, is that a portion of the proposed project falls within 200 feet of
the shoreline of Steel Lake, a regulated lake. The applicant claims that the actual area
affected by the mapped shoreline region is so minimal, and the impacts so insignificant
that they are below the scope of substantial development intended by the Shoreline
Management Act. Prededication, the on-site area within the boundary is only 289 square
feet. This total shrinks to 103 square feet after dedication, with over 90% of that ending
up in a landscape buffer. Off-site area, all within the 28th Avenue South right-of-way is
671 square feet. Approximately 200 square feet of the off-site area will be in a planter
strip and 400 square feet (44 Square yards) will be pavement.
The applicant believes these small numbers don't warrant the added expense and
complexity that providing a shoreline substantial development permit would add to the
project.
In summary the applicant would ask that the Director please review this exemption
request carefully. Also that he would consider what the real impacts would be of
requiring. a shoreline permit for this project and if this is consistent with the true scope
and intent of the Shoreline Management Act. The applicant feels justified in asking for
this modification and is confident upon examination of the circumstances that the director
EXHIBIT .s

will grant its approval.
If you determine it would assist you to meet with the project owners and/or myself, we
would be willing to gladly arrange for that at your convenience. If you should have any
questions or require any additional information please do not hesitate to contact me,

ATTACHMENTS:
Draft, proposed, interlocal agreement and addendum between:
· The cities of Bellevue, Kirkland, Renton, Auburn, and Federal Way; along with
· Lake Washington, Renton and Bellevue School Districts; and
· University of Washington, Bellevue Community College, Evergreen Hospital and Seattle Public Utilities
SUMMARYIBACKGROUND: Many cities, school districts, universities and hospitals in our region currently
have, (or are making plans to construct) fiber optic networks between their facilities. The City of Federal way has
fiber and conduits in several locations in the city. It also utilizes fiber services outside city limits to connect with
other agencies and to the internet.
If approved, the attached interlocal agreement outlines how the parties will work together on fiber optic projects
for the benefit of all the parties. This agreement also outlines the roles and responsibilities of all the parties and
use of the fiber cables today and into the future.
Many agencies, including the above, have signed on to this local agreement; there is no cost to ioin and this
partnership helps any future joint fiber project(s). Potential benefits of this agreement may include direct
connection to Valley Com, the internet and other agencies, lower costs and higher speeds, and reduced cost to
connect to other locations within our City.
Under the general guidelines when/if one agency needs to expand its fiber it can reach to another agency and
develop a fiber optic project agreement detailing the scope of work, costs, and potential for sharing/swapping
fiber for conduit.

since. Centerstage's management team includes years of experience in
theatrical management (as Development Director, Executive Director and
Artistic Director); and similar experience as a corporate executive.
Centerstage's bookkeeper also serves in that capacity for the Broadway
center for the Performing Arts in Tacoma.
d. Centerstage is in good standing in the State of Washington and has all
necessary licenses, permits, approvals and authorizations necessary in
order to perform the Scope of Work and conduct its business.

c. Past Experience in Management and Operations of a theatre
(i) Centerstage has not managed a facility comparable to the Knutzen Family
Theatre. It managed its small studio facility in the Spectrum Business Park as
a 48-seat theatre, and has retained Office Space in the same facility since
1997. References to Centerstage's tenure at Spectrum Business Park may be
obtained by contacting Steve Redford, CAM Management at 253 588 9158
(ii) Alan Bryce managed the 6oo-seat Landers Theatre in Springfield, MO
from 2000 through 2002 and London's 12o-seat Overground Theatre 1974-
1981.
3. Narrative Summary
*How Centerstage's proposal addresses City Goals:
(i) Maximize the use of the Theatre:
Centerstage will use the theatre for 5 of its own productions each year: A
maximum usage of 20 weeks and a minimum usage of 15 weeks. (Not
including rehearsal in the rehearsal studio). Centerstage is committed to
retaining other current renters such as Ninth Avenue Dance and Aria
Dance. Centerstage also will work with the City to retain summer youth
programs.

II
In order for Centerstage to continue presenting loss-makers such as
Storybook Theatre, it is essential that Centerstage retains all rental
income, in order to subsidize these day performances for youth.
Centerstage will be in a position to more aggressively market the facility
to other renters by offering significantly lower rental fees than the City
was able to do.
Centerstage has had success with its own presentations (Mark Twain and
Will Rogers). With the additional flexibility of managing the space,
Centerstage will offer more such presentations.
Centerstage will offer marketing and box office services to renters of the
Knutzen.
(ii) Maintenance of the facility:
Centerstage will subcontract maintenance and operation of all technical
theatre to Seattle Scenic Studios. We propose that the custodial staff
currently employed by Dumas Bay Centre continue to work on the lobby,
auditorium, dressing room and rehearsal hall. Custodians would be
employed by Centerstage for time worked on areas of Centerstage
responsibility. If it is simpler for custodial personnel to stay on City
payroll and Centerstage be billed for their services, Centerstage is open to
that option.
(iii) Ensuring accountability for fiscal and organizational
management:
Please see the enclosed Business Plan commissioned by Centerstage in
response to the City's Request For Proposal.
(iv) Serving as rental space for nonprofit arts organizations and
other users.
Please see (i) above. Since Centerstage plans to produce 5 shows per
year, each using the theatre for a maximum of one month, this leaves 7
months for generation of other revenues.

(v) Serve as a location for civic activities.
Centerstage is a prominent member of the Federal Way Community. It is
a member of the Chamber of Commerce and Board Members and former
Board Members are members oflocal service clubs such as Rotary,
Kiwanis and Lions. Through these contacts we intend to promote the use
of the Knutzen by other groups and businesses.
(vi) Promote cultural arts growth in the community.
Centerstage has established relationships with Decatur HS, DeVry
University, Truman HS on various projects over the past few years. In
addition, Centerstage produces at least one show each year which involves
actors of school age. As managers of the Knutzen Family Theatre,
Centerstage will have the flexibility to develop its educational outreach
with day release performances and other projects, yet to be determined.
How will Centerstage divide its priorities betweenfacility management,
maintenance and presentation?
Centerstage is currently a Theatrical Producer. The priorities referred to above
are interlocking, no one more important than the other. Without a well- .
maintained and technically efficient facility, all presentation will be adversely
effected. But the purpose of a well-maintained facility is to produce good art.
In order to address the new responsibilities, Centerstage has re-defined the roles
of its staff and subcontractor, Seattle Scenic Studios. It has also re-defined its
future staffing structure. New assignments of Centerstage staff are in italics:
(1) While Managing Artistic Director, Alan Bryce, will remain focused on
Centerstage Productions and will address the promotion of Centerstage
productions elsewhere, he will promote the Knutzen actively within the South
Sound Arts and Business Communities.
(2) Office and Marketing Manager, Laura Campbell will continue to take
responsibility for marketing, publicity, office management and supervision of Box
Office Activities; Front -of-house custodial staff will now report to Laura.
(3) Treasurer, Judy Kent's role will be expanded to cover negotiation and
execution of contracts with renters, and will include liaison with City and
Dumas Bay staff.
(4) Craig Wollam (Seattle Scenic Studios), Facilities Manager will be responsible
for all routine maintenance and care of backstage facilities.

Centerstage is itself a nonprofit 501(C)(3) corporation. In recent months
Centerstage has produced shows at Theatre On The Square in Tacoma and at
ACT Theatre in Seattle. Both are nonprofit organizations. Alan Bryce has over 30
years experience in the nonprofit theatre sector as a Development Director,
Artistic Director and Executive Director. Seattle Scenic Studios is also a nonprofit
organization.
4. Staffing Plan
Please See Appendix A
5. Box Office and Ticket Sales Plan
(a) Centerstage currently has operated Box Office for between 55 and 70
performances each year for the past four years at the Knutzen Family
Theatre. Sales are made by mail, telephone and through the Centerstage
website (using Click 4 The Inc.) Box Office telephone hours are 10am-5pm
on weekdays, and Saturdays and Sundays on show days. Centerstage, for a
fee of $1 per ticket, will handle Box Office sales (both online and
telephone) for renters, should the renter elect to have Centerstage handle
that responsibility. Renters will have the option of handling all sales
themselves. Telephone orders are handled by current Centerstage staff
and volunteers. This will continue.
(b) Subscriptions. Centerstage currently runs on a September through May
Season. Season or Flex Tickets are marketed in June of each year. Renters
will be given the option of inclusion in the Season Brochure for a fee
contingent upon the size of the rental.
6. Facility Utilization and Marketing Plan
(a) As soon as Centerstage assumes management of the Knutzen Family
Theatre it will call a meeting with the City and with Ninth Avenue
Dance/Aria Dance, as core users of the space, in order to establish a core
schedule, around which all other uses will scheduled.
(b) One of the key problems Centerstage has encountered over the years is
brand confusion. The distinction between Knutzen Family Theatre and
Centerstage is often unclear to consumers. Three year ago Centerstage
undertook a branding process pro bono with a local marketing company.
Upon assumption ofthe management of the Knutzen, Centerstage will
undergo a new branding process to help us re-define the two entities and
how to best market all KFT performing arts activities.
(c) Centerstage is not unaware of the difficulties the City has had in finding
and promoting performing arts organizations at the Knutzen. Centerstage
.

intends to build upon the partnerships, renters and community
organizations already using the facility.
In addition, Centerstage has already had preliminary discussions with
Second Story Rep in Redmond, with the goal of exchanging one or more
productions per year. After its run in Federal Way, a show would move to
Redmond and vice versa. Thus each company would be saved the capital
costs of a new production, and expand the season at both theatres.
Centerstage has budgeted $26,000 to market the Knutzen in its first year
of management, with a 5% annual increase over 4 years.
7. Transition Plan
*Preparation. As soon as Centerstage assumes its management role, Centerstage
and City representatives will meet to:
(a) Negotiate the details of the management contract, including but not
limited to: usage of City Equipment, interlocking responsibilities of
Centerstage and Dumas Bay Centre staff (such as greeting guests at
Dumas Bay), use of Dumas Bay storage space etc.
(b) Review the logistics and utilization of space as Centerstage personnel
move to the Dumas Bay Centre.
. (c) Establish a mutually agreeable timeline for the physical move and for
the assumption of full management responsibilities.
(d) Establish a payment schedule of the management fee.
*Action:
(a) Upon the signature of the Management Contract, Centerstage wishes
to move its offices to the Knutzen within one month. Also, upon
signature of the contract, the City will provide Centerstage with all
relevant paperwork/files and contracts with renters and all other
relevant documents to the operation of the Knutzen Family Theatre.
(b) Upon signature of the Management Contract, Seattle Scenic
Studios will assume its responsibilities within one month.
*Schedule:
Pending the results of negotiation with the City, Centerstage's preferred
date of concluding the above is June 1st, 2009.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing on behalf of Alan Bryce and Centerstage Theater. I would like to
offer two suggestions: To strongly consider contracting a non-profit theater
organization to manage your Performing Arts Center, and to strongly consider
Centerstage as that organization.
I am currently the Managing Director of Seattle Public Theater (SPT), the
resident company of the Bathhouse Theater on Green Lake, an historic 16S-seat
performance venue in Seattle. SPT has had a lease with the City of Seattle Parks
and Recreation since 2000, and at this point has a five-year lease which ends in
2011. We have. no concerns that our lease will be renewed for another five years
at that time.
Our partnership with the City of Seattle has been very fruitful on both sides: the
City provides SPT with a space, assistance with building management through
their facilities departments, and low rent. In return SPT provides the public with
non-stop live theater and youth education programming, as well as discounted
tickets and assistance with other community groups who use the surrounding
area in the Green Lake Park for special events.
Prior to my taking the position at SPT, I was the General Manager of the'Village
Theater at the Everett Performing Arts Center, a SOO-seat venue. I filled a similar
role there for five years, as Village Theater has a contract to manage the EPAC
for the City of Everett. I had very good relations with the City of Everett and the
facilities staff there which continue to this day. Village Theater provides the City
of Everett with theater programming, youth programming (both classes and
performances), rental income from other performing arts groups, and a strong
artistic presence in the community. I was a member of the Everett Rotary and
built many strong connections with the local merchants, the community and the
City staff.
I write this to encourage those interested to consider using an established non-
profit performing organization as management. The company will have
experience producing theater, creating education programs, operating within a
set budget, working with other arts organizations and the myriad of unknowns
that an ordinary facilities management company or a City staff does not have
knowledge of. In addition, the theater company will have experience with that
unique type of building, the performance space, with its individual challenges and

technical difficulties, again which a non-arts company or City facilities staff will
not realize. In my experience, a strong, well-established non-profit arts company
has a distinct advantage in managing an arts venue.
I have worked with Alan Bryce and Centerstage on many levels: as a performer,
as a fellow theater manager, and as a service provider, as I am the Board
President of Seattle Scenic Studios, the company that constructs all of
Centerstage's sets. Alan has many years under his belt as a theater
professional, in every sense of the word. He is an outstanding producer as well
as an artist, and his current job as head of Centerstage is proof of his strength as
a producer and a businessman. Centerstage, the theater company itself, has a
long history in the Federal Way community, and would be an excellent choice as
Management Company for a large performance venue. It is a healthy company,
both financially and artistically, and you would be wise to use this local resource.
I would be happy to speak to anyone further about my experience as a theater
manager working with a City landlord. Please do not hesitate to contact me
further in this regard.

To Whom It May Concern:
J am writing to express my support and to be a reference for the Centerstage Theater
Company's aplication to directly manage the Knutzen Family Theatre.
The Centerstage Theater is currently renting one of our theater spaces, the Bullitt
Cabaret, for a remounted production of Always Patsy Cline.
Our experience has been entirely positive. Centerstage is an organized, well run company
that produces a very high quality of work. I have worked closely with Alan Bryce,
Centerstage's Artistic Director, though out this process, and he exceeded in maximizing
the artistic integrity of the performance while remaining within a very restrained budget.
Our building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and was
made a Seattle Historic Landmark in 1984. Centerstage Theater has been very respectful
of our full facility.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about ACT's relationship or our
current rental agreement.

TMP/Knutzen Family Theatre Staff List
Current Employees:
Jon Douglas Rake, Founder and Managing Artistic Director (Full-time)
Jeffrey Stvrtecky, Music Director, Business Manager (Full-time)
Maria Valenzuela, Marketing & Office Manager (Full-time)
Chris Serface, Director of Education (Full-time)
Diana George, Director of Development (Full-time)

Staff Contracted Positions: (as-needed basis)
House Manager
Box Office - Day of Production
Janitoriiil
TMP is currently staffed by six full-time pers(:>nnel. Although each individual position is designed by
the individual responsibilities of development, marketing, education, technical,
artistic/programming and financial management, all positions are tailored to include the
opportunity to cross-relate with multiple disciplines in order to more fully provide for the best
possible application of individual staff talents and abilities. Effective relationships have been
established between all disciplines in order to allow for optimal support, as well as for seamless
transfer of duties when a need arises. For example, programming and finance considerations are
ideally supported by working relationships between development and marketing; while
programming, technical and financial issues are all employed in order to support TMP's strong
educational programs.
The Knutzen Family Theater will directly benefit from TMP's history of solid organizational
management techniques with multiple staff members fully capable of providing financial,
programming and technical management expertise from the first day of operations. Current TMP
staff will provide the immediate ability to schedule theater rental use (non-profit arts and business
commercial), present TMP produced programming and a offer a full complement of quality youth
and senior educational programs, including: summer youth camp, after-school and/or Saturday
classes, winter break and spring break camps and daytime senior classes. Existing TMP staff will
also provide marketing materials of KFT events to include: brochures, flyers, posters, show
programs, a quarterly newsletter and maintain the www.kftevents.comwebsite.Asis the case at
TMP, additional part-time or contract employees would be fully trained by TMP p'ersonnel, in full
coordination with DBC personnel, in order to provide additional on-site theater and technical
coordination, maintenance and educational opportunities.
See Appendix H - I.
3. Narrative Summary
Mana~ement Summary:
TMP will act as a facility manager for current users of KFT and expand the marketing of the facility
to additional non-profits, private parties and commercial businesses. It is TMP's goal to maximize
the usage of KFT. It is also our intent to expand programming by presenting a diverse range of new
programs. Some ofthese programs will include musicals from TMP's mainstage and Tacoma
Children's Musical Theater (TCMT) productions, concerts from classical to jazz to new age, a family
film series, educational programs and presentations, touring productions from other theater
companies, Washington Artists programs and other special events appropriate for the technical
capabilities of the space. It is our goal to see KFT present a wide variety of options for Federal
Way/South King County and surrounding community residents.
The basic structure of the management team for the KFT is already in place within the TMP
organization. Additional staffing will be added as needed. This will include a KFT Facility
Administrator and a KFT Technical Coordinator. Both of these positions will begin as part-time
positions and gradually be increased if needed. The current TMP staff will expand their duties to
include presenting and administrating programming. TMP would like to expand the partnership
with the beautiful Dumas Bay Centre, offering patrons dinner theater options, pre-show receptions
and expanding possible options for the Centre's clients. It is TMP's intent to market KFT and the
complete assortment of facilities available at the Centre.
EducationalSummarv:
TMP has a long-standing history of providing quality arts education for youth in the puget Sound
area. KFT is located in an area that is hungry for arts education opportunities and is a facility that
lends itself to all of the base requirements necessary for an education program to thrive and
succeed. We intend to offer a full year-round education program comprising a curriculum that
would mirror what TMP already offers. TMP strongly believes that if a student desires to be
involved in theater, they will be given an opportunity to participate in the program.
Current TMP Educational programs include:
After School Academy-This program meets twice a week over four weeks for two hours. Students
learn a small scale musical theater production. Basic theater skills are taught such as acting,
dancing, voice, and how to work together as an ensemble. Each program culminates in a public
performance of the show that they have rehearsed.
ACT at KFT - This program is designed to help students reach new heights in their studies of
theater. These intensive classes are taught by local artists and professionals who will challenge and
inspire students while building a solid base of skills in the theater arts. Each session lasts ten
Saturdays and there are a wide variety of courses offered (Le. acting, improvisation, voice,
auditioning, dance).
Winter, Spring, Summer Camps-These intensive camps take place during scheduled "break"
times from the school calendar and involve students in the production of a fully-staged musical.
These full-day camps immerse students in the art of theater expanding their understanding of the
process of putting together a musical. During the summer, the camp moves to a four-week session
and expands its focus to include specialty workshops taught by local professionals in different
aspects of the theatrical arts. Each camp culminates in multiple public performances of the
production that the students have rehearsed.
Development Summarv:
Approximately 30% of TMP's annual budget is unearned revenue comprised of Government,
Foundation, Corporation, and Individual contributed support.
The most important component of our development strategy is the establishment of trust and
familiarity with our patrons and donor organizations. TMP has hundreds of patrons who donate
consistently toour theater. With our FundRaiser software, we are able to track and maintain these
relationships; TMP has a donor retention rate of 62% of those patrons who have given consistently
during the past three seasons. We establish trust with our patrons by involving them in many of the
events TMP hosts from Wine-tasting cruises to patron surveys at the end of each season. We
create a familiarity with our patrons by establishing a presence at every event and production TMP
offers.
TMP intends to duplicate all of our existing development plans with the management of KFT. We
would also maximize the potential for new sources of developmental support that would come
from our presence in King County through grants for performing arts programs and youth/senior
educational programs.
Current unearned revenue includes: grants from Dimmer Foundation, Norcliffe Foundation, Boeing
Corporate Sponsorship, Pierce County Arts Commission, Forest Foundation, The Seattle
Foundation, Ben Cheney Foundation, ArtsFund ahd Tacoma Arts Commission's AnchorFund.
TMP hosts avariety of fundraising events that allow the awarding of scholarships and tickets to
underserved populations in our community. TMP awards an average of $3,000 worth oftickets
annually to assist other non-profit groups to raise funds through their own fundraising events. We
also give scholarships to students in our educational programs.
Our fundraising events include: Ladies Luncheon, Wine-Tasting Cruise, Gala events, Silent Auctions,
Raffles, and our new event this year-"Dancing with the Tacoma Stars." TMP believes the
atmosphere and grounds of the DBC and KFT is perfect for many fund raising events. The
picturesque grounds are a breathtaking backdrop for an English Tea and Fashion Show on the Lawn
during the summer or a Wine-Tasting event accompanied by a quartet. These events are
complimentary to the many activities the DBC provides and collaborating with both the activities
and kitchen staff of DBC will simplify many of the challenges inherent with these types of events.
In short, TMP currently has in place the ability to provide the necessary elements of proven
successful theater management, marketing, education, and development programs.
4. StaffinR Plan
Current TMP staff will provide the immediate ability to schedule theater rental use, present TMP
produced programming and offer a full complement of quality youth and senior educational
programs, including: summer youth camp, after-school and/or Saturday classes, winter break and
spring break camps and daytime senior classes.
Existing TMP staff will also provide marketing materials of KFT events. Additional part-time or
contract employees would be fully trained by TMP personnel, in full coordination with DBC
personnel, in order to provide additional on-site theater and technical coordination, maintenance
and educational opportunities.
Other staffing plan information has already been presented in other sections of this proposal.
5. Box Office and Ticket Sales Plan
TMP currently uses "WinTix" ticketing software for all Box Office sales and "MVOB Accounting"
software for financial reporting.
TMP will require the "Theater Coordinator office space}' currently designated in the DBC to
administer onsite Box Office, Marketing and Educational programs. Current TMP ticketing software
would be used for education programs and TMP presented productions. User groups, including the
City of Federal Way, may el~ct to either maintain their own ticket sales for pre-sale events (ie,
Brown Paper Tickets} user's website) or coordinate with TMP to provide pre-event ticket sales
through TMP staffing and software. TMP will contract this service as desired by the users,
negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
TMP will provide a schedule of Box Office hours for on site customer services during the week, as
well as maintain phone and website services.
TMP will implement season subscription packages for KFT patrons. Ideally, package options could
be described as "Family' events, "Special" events (ie, music and film series), "Full Season" (all-
inclusive packages) etc} in order to provide the best variety of options to the customers. An
"Enhanced Season" package could also be designed to include an educational element with each of
the selected performance dates. User groups and the City could elect at the time of contracting to
have their events and/or productions not included in a pre-sale season package.
6. Facilitv Ultilization and MarketlnR Plan
TMP will maintain a schedule to include all current user groups: Centerstage, 9th Avenue
Dance/Aria Dance, Thistle Theatre, Storybook Theater, Pushcart Players, Missoula Children's
Theatre; incorporate TMP produced musical theater productions and the TCMT; enhance with
additional year-round educational opportunities for seniors and youth; and create additional
entertainment series' that may highlight local artists in jazz, recital, concert and/or film.
Existing TMP staff will provide marketing materials of KFT events to include: brochures, flyers,
posters, show programs, and a quarterly newsletter and will maintain the www.kftevents.com
website. Currently, TMP maintains a mailing database of nearly 10,000 South Puget Sound
households and would negotiate access of the City of Federal Way Parks & Recreational division
mailing list to directly reach the immediate community with educational and event information.
TMP currently uses "MyMaillist" bulk mail software for all direct mailings.
TMP will provide a rental rate schedule competitive with other area facilities of comparable size,
accessibility and technical capability. The schedule will include detailed rates for differing user
groups and requirements. TMP will provide contracted janitorial services for the designated theater
areas.
See Appendix J.
7. Transition Plan
TMP proposes to assume management operations of the KFT on June 1, 2009 with a transition
period coordinated with the existing City, DBC and KFT personnel through June 14. All 2009
programming and rentals firmly scheduled (contract in hand) in the KFT as of May 31, 2009 will be
honored. Beginning June 1, the KFT calendar will be maintained by TMP. TMP will expect to
provide a 2009 Youth Summer Musical Theater Camp for the area youth at KFT. The City of Federal
Way Parks and Recreation would not be obliged to provide a 2009 summer youth theater program
at KFT. Ideally, the TMP camp would be advertised in the City of Federal Way 2009 Summer Parks
Recreation & Cultural Services Guide. This may likely require coordination with the City publication
prior to May 31,2009.
TMP will require a full inventory list of city-owned KFT equipment and its condition. TMP will
require the City to provide a physical inspection of the Fly and Fire Systems with documentation to
indicate current and up-to-date inspections and approval. TMP will require an explanation ofthe
current security plan of the bUilding and a guaranty of a Building and Liability Insurance Policy from
the City of Federal Way. TMP will also be responsible for carrying its own Liability Insurance Policy.
All KFT renters will be required to carry a Liability Policy naming the City of Federal Way and TMP
on the rider.

Tacoma Musical Plavhouse History
Tacoma Musical Playhouse was founded by Jon Douglas Rake in January 1994 to fulfill a need in
Tacoma for a theater company that specializes in the uniquely American art form of musical
theater. Mr. Rake's artistic leadership of the company, supported by a need in the community and
an availability of excellent local talent, are the driving forces of its success. The primary artistic
team of Jon Douglas Rake, Artistic Director and Jeffrey Stvrtecky, Music Director, provide stability
to the productions at TMP. This stability has assured a level of quality that is maintained from
production to production and anticipated by an ever-growing, musical-theater-Ioving audience.
TMP's mission is "Enriching lives through the art form of musical theater." We believe that
people's lives are enriched by high-quality entertainment. Sometimes that entertainment
challenges people to think about life issues; other times it offers opportunities for hilarity; and still
other times it offers moments for tears. In all cases, however, the experiences move people's
emotions and take them to a new place in their thinking. TMP has enriched people with
productions like Into the Woods, The Music Man, The Sound of Music, Oklahoma, Disney's Beauty
and the Beast, Thoroughly Modern Millie and West Side Story. We are committed to providing our
patrons with a wide variety of musical theater selections that will touch them emotionally.
TMP is the fastest growing arts organization in the Puget Sound region. From its modest beginning
at Annie Wright Kemper Center, to a church basement, then to the Narrows Theatre which seats
380, TMP has rapidly grown into Tacoma's premier musical theater company. TMP added facility
space by renting the retail space next to the theater. The 4,800 square-foot room is used for
rehearsal space, costume building, set building, and storage. We added another small retail space
which serves as our administrative office and box office. Several years ago, the company added the
retail space at 7108 Sixth Ave to serve as a costume storage and building area and 610 S Oxford as
its educational room. In all, TMP occupies 63% of the Narrows Center and leases the remaining
space to tenants.
TMP offers season subscriptions and season flex passes to its mainstage productions. The season
includes six mainstage shows which run for four or five weekends each. Single tickets, including
student, senior, military, child and group discounts, are available for all productions as well. Group
sales have become a significant portion of the company's annual ticket revenue. Annually, TMP
offers free tickets for each production's preview performance to numerous Pierce County social
service organizations to distribute to under-served individuals.
TMP has expanded its artistic offerings beyond its six mainstage shows. TMP presented two
original murder mystery dinners and two musical revues per season until this year. The
organization regularly books its performers for specialty shows throughout the community. TMP
has also been a presenting organization. We have hosted the Seattle hit comedy show Late Nite
Catechism, Marni Nixon, The Voice of Hollywood, and A Tribute to Red Skelton in the Narrows
Theatre. These shows attract many new potential patrons to our theater.
In the 2006-07 season, we launched the Tacoma Children's Musical Theater program. Three
productions for children, presented by adults, are offered each season. TMP's budget has been
driven by the fantastic growth of the company's earned revenue. The organization hired a part-
time Development Coordinator in 2000 and successfully launched its first Annual Fund campaign
which raised over $37,000. The Annual Fund campaign drive continues to grow and has met its
goal in subsequent years. TMP has received grant funds from several new sources since this hiring
including U.S. Bank, the Forest Foundation, the Seattle Foundation, the West End Neighborhood
Council, Junior League of Tacoma, Pierce County Arts Commission, Tacoma Public Utilities, Frank
Russell Company and the Dimmer Family Foundation. TMP has established relationships for in-kind
support from The News Tribune, Microsoft Corporation, the Boeing Company and the Seattle
Opera House. The organization was also initiated into the Tacoma Arts Commission's Anchor Fund
in December 2000.
TMP's operating budget ($1.2M) has been driven by the fantastic growth of the company's revenue
from increased season subscriptions and single ticket sales. TMP has yet to experience a significant
operating deficit. An independent accounting firm reviews or audits our financial statements.
Education is a priority for TMP. Initially, a Summer Musical Theater Youth Camp trained a group of
talented and eager young performers each summer, culminating in a fully-staged public
production. A professional staff of instructors offers a well-rounded program in all aspects of
musical theater. In 2004 a Spring Break Youth Camp was additionally offered. In 2005, a full year
of education opportunities now exist with the hiring of a Director of Education. A Winter Break
Youth Camp, an After School Academy, and a Summer Honor Camp were added to the educational
programs ensuring nearly year-round activities for young people at TMP. This year we have added
another new program ACT at TMP. This program offers young students the chance to enhance or
learn more theatrical skills such as auditioning, acting, singing and dancing. These programs are
structured in the manner of a conservatory program.
Another successful educational outreach program focuses on professional theater. TMP directors,
Jon Rake and Jeffrey Stvrtecky, offer intensive theater tours to destinations like New York, London,
Chicago, Las Vegas or Los Angeles where patrons enjoy the experience of attending several
Broadway shows. Hundreds of patrons have enjoyed the touring opportunity thus far. These tours
serve several purposes: they build patron loyalty for TMP; they help educate our patrons about the
entire professional theater experience; and they offer an insight into professional theater
production.
Increased marketing efforts have contributed to the growth in attendance of our productions. TMP
entered into a sponsorship agreement with The News Tribune to increase our visibility through
display ads. This has brought several new patrons to the theater, and we have increased our
sponsorship agreement with them for the current season. The organization also occasionally uses
radio advertisements with KPLU or KING-FM. A two-for-one incentive to first time ticket buyers
was a huge success in getting patrons back through our doors for a repeat visit. TMP's "Playhouse
Post" newsletter is a promotional tool that has resulted in a positive response from the community.
We are more visible to our existing patrons and are attracting new patrons through this effective
tool. It has resulted in a steady flow of in-kind contributions from a "wish list" printed in each
newsletter. We also use the newsletter to recognize and thank the volunteers who support the
ongoing programs of TMP. TMP's website www.tmp.org receives thousands of hits monthly and
allows patrons to order tickets directly on line.
Perhaps the most important issue facing TMP is its theater facility. The Narrows Theatre became
home to the company in 1995. In November, 2002, TMP purchased the Narrows Theatre and its
surrounding Narrows Shopping Center from the family members of the original family that built the
Center. In the fall of 2007, TMP unveiled a major remodel (Phase 1) that included taking over two
of the rental units adjoining the theater and turning those spaces into new expanded lobby,
concessions, patron restrooms, cast dressing rooms, green room and restrooms. A refinance of our
debt through the Washington State Housing Finance Commission and grants from local and state
governments paid for the remodel without the need for a capital campaign. The theater requires
significant restorations and modifications to make it a viable space to present live theater
productions into the future. TMP would like to expand its current reach and programming by
adding a secondary performing arts space for Education and smaller scale productions. This new
space would also be used for fostering workshops and new productions not suitable for our current
space and its technical limitations. Phases 2 and 3 will include theater technical modifications and
will, however, be accomplished with capital campaign funding.

TO: Federal Way City Council
FM: Charlie Rathbun, Arts Program Manager
RE: Knutzen Family Theatre RFP Review Process
Dear Councilmembers:
I am writing to convey my thoughts and observations regarding the recent interview and selection
process for management of the Knutzen Family Theatre. I appreciate the opportunity to be involved in
this process and I applaud your efforts to seek a sustainable solution for the management ofthis valuable
community asset. I was invited by Mary Faber to attend your Tuesday council meeting but
unfortunately have a conflict. I hope this letter can be of service in your process.
I am the manager of the Arts Program for 4Culture, a position I have held for more than 15 years. I am
fairly well acquainted with a number of community arts leaders in Federal Way as 4Culture has been a
long time funder, supporter and advocate for your local arts programs, artists and cultural organizations.
Ofthe two candidates that applied for this position I was familiar with Centerstage, which 4Culture has
supported over the years and whose work I have reviewed in the past. I have always admired their
dedication, their devotion to the challenging art of theater and their commitment to the community of
Federal Way. I was entirely unfamiliar with the second candidate, the Tacoma Musical Playhouse. In
fact, my only misgiving about being asked to participate in this process was my personal bias in favor of
Centerstage, based on their work and long time association with the Knutzen Theatre and the Federal
Way community.
We interviewed Centerstage first and they impressed me, as I expected, with their passion and
dedication, their desire to continue producing in the Knutzen and, what I can only call, their scrappy
devotion to their artform, which as a former theater manager myself, I can fully appreciate. Beyond
their own producing ambitions however, their plan for the ongoing management of the facility itself
seemed somewhat extraneous to their primary mission. I noted, for example, that their financial plan
relied on increasing subsidy from the city in future years. Their answers to specific questions about
earned and donated income were unclear. My overall sense was that their primary focus was on
preserving the facility for their own use and their own producing work. Their annual operating budget is
under $200,000 and I questioned whether Centerstage really has the capacity to take on the year round
management, development and community outreach required for operation of this facility.
In contrast, the Tacoma Musical Playhouse, a $1.2 million operation, was represented by five full time
staff members who were each engaged in the development, management and educational programming
of the organization. Their plan and vision for the use of the facility was fully articulated. They
responded well to our panel's questions about their commitment to the Federal Way community, and
demonstrated a sensitivity and desire to address issues of local identity for the Knutzen and outreach to
other Federal Way arts organizations. I noted that several of them lived in Federal Way and have a
personal stake in the success ofthis project. Their anticipated budget showed a decrease in the city's
subsidy in future years and their plans included a logical extension of their current educational
programming, an obvious strong potential for use of the Knutzen facility. They were enthusiastic about
the opportunity and demonstrated an impressive production history and fiscal track record in their
Tacoma based facility. My further inquiries with several of our funding colleagues around the region
confirmed my own positive impressions.
As much as I admire and support the work of Centerstage, the choice was for this job was obvious.
TMP appears to have the capacity, the readiness and the vision to assume the task of operating the
Knutzen. Although they were one of only two candidates, I believe the City of Federal Way is fortunate
to have an organization of this caliber interested in developing this asset for the greater community
benefit. While I remain supportive of Centerstage and sincerely hope that they can continue their
mission and work in your community, there was no question of our panel's consensus in this decision.
Thank you again for including me in this important process.
Sincerely,
Charlie Rathbun, Manager

City of Federal Way Arts Commission
Mary Faber
Dear Commissioners,
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Tacoma Musical Playhouse (TMP), I want
to thank you for the opportunity to submit a Proposal to Manage the Knutzen
Family Theatre. However, TMP is officially withdrawing this proposal.
I have spoken with several arts patrons from the City of Federal Way, as well as
representatives from other area arts organizations who have engaged in working
relationships with Centerstage Theatre, and have concluded that the most quali-
fied entity to manage the Knutzen Family Theatre at this time is the City of Fed-
eral Way. This decision was reached in part after the disrespectful behavior ex-
hibited by Alan Bryce, the Artistic Director of Centerstage Theatre, at the Parks
and Recreation Committee meeting on March 10, 2009 and his treatment toward
a fellow non-profit arts organization. Mr. Bryce's behavior at this meeting was
unconscionable. If TMP was selected to manage the facility, Mr. Bryce stated
that Centerstage would not be willing to work with TMP. It is obvious that his
behavior would continue in the same manner and would not allow for an option to
develop a positive working relationship. We also feel that his repeated threats to
leave Federal Way if the contract was not awarded to Centerstage Theatre shows
a serious lack of true commitment to the city and community.
We would like to commend and thank Mary Faber, the Federal Way Arts Com-
mission and the Evaluation Committee for their hard work and efforts in putting
the RFP together, and for the comments and positive feedback TMP received
from those involved in the evaluation process. The TMP Staff and Board of Di-
rectors extends to the city the best possible wishes in this situation and, although
we are not willing to accept the management of this facility at this time, would
also like to propose the possibility of programming and educational partnerships
with the City of Federal Way.
Very truly yours,
Jon Douglas Rake

SUMMARY/BACKGROUND:
The Cop Hiring and Recovery Program (CHRP) makes funding available for the hiring and rehiring of additional
career law enforcement officers. There is no local match requirement, but grant funding will be based on current
entry-level salary and benefits packages and therefore any additional costs for higher salaries or benefits would be the
responsibility of the grantee agency. CHRP grants will provide 100% funding for approved entry-level salaries and
benefits for three years. At the conclusion of federal funding, grantees must retain all sworn officer positions awarded
under the CHRP grant.
The application period for this competitive grant program ends April 14, 2009.
Staff seeks Council approval to pursue the grant funds. Council is not obligated to receive the grant funds at this time
and will have an opportunity to decline the award. The City will not realize a financial impact or obligation by
submitting its application. However, if an application is not submitted by the deadline, the opportunity for grant
funding will be lost until the next application cycle in 2010 or later.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve the staff recommendation to seek the grant funding for the 2009 Cop Hiring and Recovery Program
and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute any necessary application documents. Staff will
return to Council for authorization to receive grant awards at a later date.
2. Deny approval.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to pursue grant funding for the 2009 Cop Hiring and Recovery Program
and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute any necessary application documents.

COPS Hiring Recovery Program (CHRP)
The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) is
pleased to announce the availability of funding under the COPS Hiring
Recovery Program (CHRP). The COPS Office will receive the funds from
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to address the
personnel needs of state, local, and tribal law enforcement. Applications
for CHRP grants will be accepted online via the COPS Office web site
beginning March 16,2009 through April 14, 2009.
Quick Overview
· CHRP is a competitive grant program that provides funding directly to law enforcement
agencies having primary law enforcement authority to create and preserve jobs and to
increase their community policing capacity and crime-prevention efforts.
· Up to $1 billion in grant funding will be available for the hiring and rehiring of additional
career law enforcement officers.
· There is no local match requirement for CHRP, but grant funding will be based on current
entry-level salary and benefits packages and therefore any additional costs for higher
salaries or benefits for particular individuals hired will be the responsibility of the grantee
agency.
· CHRP grants will provide 100 percent funding for approved entry-level salaries and
benefits for 3 years (36 months) for newly-hired, full-time sworn officer positions (including
filling existing unfunded vacancies) or for rehired officers who have been laid off, or are
scheduled to be laid off on a future date, as a result of local budget cuts.
*In addition, there is no cap on the number of positions an agency may request, but
awards will be limited to available funding. Please be mindful of the initial 3-year grant
period and your agency's ability to fill the officer positions awarded, while following your
agency's established hiring policies and procedures.
· At the conclusion of federal funding, grantees must retain all sworn officer positions
awarded under the CHRP grant. The retained CHRP-funded position(s) should be added
to the grantees law enforcement budget with state and/or local funds, over and above
the number of locally-funded positions that would have existed in the absence of the
grant.
The COPS Hiring Recovery Program funding is in addition to $2.76 billion in preventing and
controlling crime and $225 million to combat violence against women.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for CHRP
Questions which do not apply to the City of Federal Way have been deleted
Q: As a law enforcement agency, what purposes can I use the CHRP funding?
A: You may use CHRP funding to hire new officers, rehire officers that have been laid off due to
state and local funding cuts and to etain officers that are scheduled to be laid off at a future
date.
Q: How do l know whether I should apply for funds to hire new officers or rehire officers?
A: If your agency has recently laid off officers and wishes to rehire those individuals, you should
apply for funds to rehire the officers who were laid off before you submitted the application - that
is one funding option. If you haven't laid off officers yet, but you have a lay-off scheduled for a
specific future date (for example, the officers have already been notified that they will be laid off
on October 1), you should apply for funds to rehire officers who are scheduled for a future lay-off -
that is another funding option.
If you do receive funding in the latter category, you'll be able to use the COPS Hiring Recovery
Program funds to "rehire" the officers on October 1, after using the full amount of local funding that
is already budgeted for them until the date of the lay-off. You also will not be required to formally
lay the officers off through your administrative lay-off procedures, but may transfer them to the
COPS Hiring Recovery Program funding as of the lay-off date - in this example, October 1.
Finally, if your agency has not or does not plan to lay-off officers, but wishes to increase its current
locally-funded sworn officer strength, it should apply for funds to hire new officers. That category
of funding - new hires - includes hiring new officers to fill existing vacancies that are no longer
funded in your budget due to local budget cuts.
Q: My city hasn't reduced the police force yet, but we are currently going through our budget
process and may be cutting officer positions before the COPS Hiring Recovery Program grants are
awarded. Can we apply for COPS Hiring Recovery Program funding to restore those positions?
A: Your agency cannot cut its sworn officer budget just because COPS Hiring Recovery Program
(CHRP) funds are now available for officer hiring. First, that would be risky to your agency,
because the COPS Hiring Recovery Program is going to be very competitive and there is just no
guarantee that your agency will receive CHRPfunding. Second, that would create a potential
supplanting violation that could be identified through an audit or monitoring, if it appears that the
only reason your jurisdiction cut its police officer budget is because it anticipated receiving COPS
Hiring Recovery Program funding (your agency would be using CHRP funds to replace local funds
that it otherwise would have spent on those officer positions).
Your agency must make its local budget decisions about sworn officers as if it had never heard of
the CHRP grant program, and then if your agency is still planning to cut officer positions, it may
apply for CHRP funds to rehire any officers who have been laid off, or to prevent lay-offs that are
scheduled to occur in the future, or to hire new officers to fill vacancies that are no longer funded
in your agency's budget.
In this case, where the timing of the budget decisions is happening all around the same time that
your agency applies for CHRP funds, it is especially critical to document the reason for any budget
cuts that eliminate sworn officer positions to show that the cuts are not being made because of
the CHRP. It is particularly helpful if your agency can document that other city departments are
facing similar personnel cuts (through lay-offs or attrition) in the same time frame and same
amounts - if it is audited in the future and can show that the school system laid off 20 teachers at
the same time the police department laid off 10 officers, that goes a long way to proving that the
police department cuts were not related to the anticipated receipt of CHRP grant funds.
Q: We understand that we must commit to retain any COPS Hiring Recovery Program funded
positions after the grant ends, but what will happen if our city's financial situation has not improved
by then - or is even worse - and we can't retain?
A: As with past COPS programs that required retention, the COPS Office will work with grantees
facing severe fiscal distress at the time that the grant period is ending to evaluate whether they
might qualify for a retention exemption. If a grantee does prove that its financial situation is so
distressed that it cannot afford to retain the positions, the COPS Office has the authority to exempt
the grantee from the retention requirement and the grantee is then ineligible for new COPS grants
that have retention requirements for one year. If the grantee's fiscal distress is not so severe that it
qualifies for a retention exemption, and the grantee still does not retain, then the COPS Office
may bar that agency from receiving any new COPS grants (even those that don't have a
retention requirement) for three years.
Q: What kind of documentation can prove that the lay-off(s) are not related to the receipt of CHRP
funds?
A: Any records showing that the lay-off(s) occurred as a result of state, local or tribal budget cuts.
To show that the lay-offs did not occur as a direct result of the availability of CHRP funds, it is
especially helpful to demonstrate that budget cuts occurred in the entire (or at least additional)
municipal or tribal governmental departments, not just the law enforcement department. Or if
budget cuts just occurred in the law enforcement agency's budget that they were across all
categories not just for sworn officer positions. Documents might include:
1. council meeting minutes discussing the budget cuts and lay-offs;
2. budget orders directing municipal departments to reduce their operating budgets;
3. personnel directives given to the officers who are scheduled for lay-off(s);
4. any other local documents explaining why the lay-offs occurred; and/or
5. notices provided to the individual officers regarding the date(s) of the lay-offs.
Q: How does the CHRP program create and save jobs?
A: The CHRP program creates jobs by offering funding for newly hired officers, including providing
funding for new officers to fill existing officer vacancies that are no longer funded as a result of
state, local or tribal budget cuts. The CHRP program saves sworn officer jobs by allowing the
rehiring of laid off officers or those who would be laid off without the grant.
Q: The officers we plan to rehire are experienced officers who are paid a higher than entry-level
salary and benefit package. May we use the CHRP funds to pay their salaries?
A: Yes, but only for the entry-level portion of their salary and benefits package. CHRP funds are
awarded based on your agency's current entry-level sworn officer salary and benefits package
over a three-year period. You can rehire experienced officers and use CHRP funding, but any
additional costs higher than entry-level that your agency pays the rehired officers must be paid
with local agency funds, not CHRP funds.
Q: Can CHRP grant funding be used to pay for officer overtime and/or eliminate officer furloughs?
A: No. CHRP funding may only be used to hire and rehire full-time law enforcement officers in
order to create and preserve jobs and to increase law enforcement agencies' community
policing capacity and crime prevention efforts.
Q: Can CHRP funding be used to fill sworn officer positions that are vacant at the time we apply for
CHRP funding?
A: Yes, if the vacancies are no longer funded in your agency's budget. CHRP funding may be
used to fill vacant sworn officer positions if the positions are included in your agency's law
enforcement budget but are unfunded (state, local or tribal funding has not been budgeted to
pay for the salary and benefits costs of the positions) because of a hiring freeze or budget cuts
due to local fiscal distress.
Q: If our agency's economic conditions change after receiving a CHRP grant and we want to
change the hiring categories from what we identified in our CHRP application, what should our
agency do?
A: If your agency receives a CHRP grant and after receiving the grant, your agency needs to
change the hiring category(s) it received funding under, your agency must request a post-award
grant modification and must receive prior approval before spending CHRP funding. To obtain
information on modifying a CHRP grant award please contact the COPS Response Center at 1-
800-421-6770.
Q: Is our agency required to retain the CHRP-funded positions following the conclusion of the 36
months of grant funding?
A: Yes. At the conclusion of federal funding, CHRP grantees are required to retain all officer
positions awarded - including positions awarded to rehire laid off officers or to prevent lay-offs - for
a period of 12 months. The additional officer positions should be added to the grantee's law
enforcement budget with state and/or local funds, over and above the number of locally-funded
officer positions that would have existed in the absence of the grant. Absorbing CHRP-funded
officers through attrition, rather than by adding the extra positions to your budget with additional
funding, does not meet the retention requirement.
Q: How will the COPS Office monitor my agency's use of CHRP funds for rehiring laid off officers?
A: The COPS Office monitors grantee compliance with all grant requirements in a variety of ways.
For example, your agency may receive an on-site monitoring visit from the COPS Office during the
grant period, an on-site financial monitoring visit from the Office of Justice Programs, Office of the
Comptroller, or it may be audited by the Office of the Inspector General Audit Division. Your
agency also may be asked to submit written documentation demonstrating its compliance with
the grant conditions or in response to evaluations by outside organizations.
Q: How long must we keep copies of all of these records to demonstrate when and why we rehired
laid off officers?
A: Your agency is required by law to maintain grant records to demonstrate your proper use of
grant funds throughout the active grant period and then for at least an additional three years
after the grant is officially closed out by the COPS Office.
