Moved: Dovey Seconded: Ferrell Passed: Unanimousiy, 3-0 B. 2010 Asphalt Overlay Program — Bid Award Jeff Huynh presented information on this item. There was no public comment. Mr. Huynh stated that the City has done business with Woodworth in the past (2006) as the contractor for the overlay program. Woodworth is capable of completing the job to the City's satisfaction. Committee Member Ferrell asked who had performed more recent overlay programs and where did their bid fall in the bids for the 2010 program. Mr. Huynh replied that tfiere were five bidders for this project. Tucci and Sons was awarded the contract for this project for the past three years. Their bid for the 2010 program ranked second, approximately $75,000 higher than Woodworth's bid. Committee Member povey asked how often the City actuatly spends the (0% contingency that is approved by Council as part of the contract. Director Roe stated that staff is typically successful in not spending the 10% contingency. Historically, if the council approves spe�►ding of the engineer's estimate plus a 10% contingency and the bid comes in low enough, staff may add overlay schedules into that year's project. For the 20t0 Overlay, all bid schedules were inctuded in the original bid, therefore, no extra schedules are being added and staff does not anticipate spending the contingency.

Olbrechts, Hearing Examiner RE: Norpoint Heights 48-100329-00-SU FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND RECOMNIENDATION INTRODUCTION The applicant requests approval of a preliminary plat to subdivide 3 acres into 14 single-family lots. The Examiner recommends approval, but contingent upon the drainage pond meeting public drainage pond standards. The primary issue in this application was .the slope of a drainage pond. The proposed drainage pond sarisfied slope standazds for private ponds but not for public ponds. Pubiic dedication of drainage ponds is required by City regulations "as appropriate." City staff provided very compelling and voluminous testimony on the need for public dedication of all residential drainage ponds. Staff recommended denial if the applicant insisted on maintaining private ownership of the ponds. After the Examiner closed the verbal testimony portion of the hearing, staff and the applicant submitted a written agreed-upon conceptual plan for a drainage pond that at this stage appears to comply with public slope standards. The parties atso submitted some recvmmended conditions of approval to cover private ownership should it not be possibie to conform the conceptual drainage pond to the standards for public drainage ponds. There was no ac�ompanying explanation as to why private ownership for the ponds would be appmpriate in this case. Unfortunately, the staff s evidence for public ownership was so compelling that the Examiner has no evidentiary basis to conclude that a private owned drainage pond will provide for adequate infrastructure or be consistent with public health, safety and welfare as required by the City's subdivision standards. ORAL TESTIMONY David Lee — Associate Ptanner for Federal Way S#aff Mr. Lee began by giving a brief description of the project proposal. Staff finds that four of the five criteria for subdivision appraval have not been met due to the extreme stope of the stormwater facilities. Storm�vater requirements require the dedication of the stormwater facility to the Ciry. The City is unwiliing to accept dedication due to the steep slopes. The slopes constitute a maintenance hazard. Staff recommends denial of the plat as designed due to the stormwater facility. However, Staff is willing to cvnsider conditioning for approval of the preliminary plat upon the applicant meeting stormwater facility requirements. Staf� acknowledged that conditioning approval on a facility that meets stormwater standards could result in a redesign of the plat that would require additional public review. {PA0�68757.DOC;lU3041.900000\ ) Prel'uninary Plat Recommendation p. 1 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation � 12 William Appleton — Surface Water Manager for City of Federal Way Mr. Appieton began by addressing why the proposal does not meet four of the five subdivision criteria. Essentially the pond does not meet the side slope standards necessary for City ownership and is therefore not consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare. The City finds that it wouid be appropriate and necessary for the facility to be dedicated to the City, and under the current slope design, it does not meet the requirements or standards of acceptance. Under the current design, one of the side siopes in the pond is approximately fifty percent steeper than is generally allowed; which presents safety and maintenance problems. In regazds to why the City desires to have these types of facilities under City control, retention ponds serve many important services that the City can best manage. Additionaliy, the ponds impact other City surface water facilities, and thus if not maintained properly, can have negative impact on City and eventually State waters. If these faciiities are private, they are required to be maintained and operated at City standazds. In addition, responsibilities for facilities, for which the property owners aze responsible, must be shown on the plat documentation. Eventually, this means that homeowners in the development would themselves be responsible for maintenance of the facility and would also be responsible for costs af improper function. Past experience has shawn that private ownership of such facilities has failed to meet City standards and has caused difficuIties for the City and homeowners. City ownership also ensures quick and appropriate response to any spill or other concern. In the past 20 years, Mr. Appleton cannot think of a facility which the City has not accepted for maintenance. Although other cities take other means of management of stormwater faci�ities, Mr. Appleton believes that taking on the facilities initially, rather than waiting for noncompliance of private ownership, avoids increased costs and damages in the long term. Not only the facility, but also the entire plat, would likely need to be redesigned in order to meet the slope requirement necessary for City acceptance. In response to the statements by the applicant: There are private stormwater retention areas in the City, but these were facilities accepted by King County prior to the incorporation of Federal Way. Commercial developments are permitted to have privateiy owned ponds, which is essentially allowed because only a single entity is in charge of maintaining the facility which provides greater assurance of appropriate maintenance as well as simpler enforcement. The stormwater design proposed by the applicant meets the 1998 Manual standards but does not meet the City's maintenance standards. Landscaping, or maintenance of landscaping, is only one aspect of the maintenance necessary for upkeep of the pond facility. Eric LeBrie — ESM Consulting Engineers Mr. LeBrie, and ESM Consulting, is generally in agreement with the majority of Staffls eonclusions within the staff report, except for the stormwater slope requirements_ He pointed out that private ownership of stormwater facilities is pernussible under the FWCC a�d that there are plenty of privately owned facilities. Additionally, if this project were for commercial development, the pond would not be at issue, because those may be privately owned and maintained, thus allowing for fifty percent siopes in the pond, or even vertical slopes. There aze (PA0768757.DOC;1\13041.9000001 } Preliminary Plat Recommendation p. 2 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation 13 also areas within the FWCC which state that some facilities should be maintained privately and that dedication is only necessary where appropriate. The property cannot accommodate a 3-to-1 (3: t) slope. The road is pushed as far south as can be pushed, and the road is planned at its minimum permitted width. Forcing 3: i side slopes in this pond wotild essentially mean that the bottom of the pond would come to a point and the volume requirements cannot be met. Because of this, the pond was designed with a 2-to-1 (2:1) side slope. Private ownership is being advocated because the property owners cannot meet the design requirements for a City-maintained pond for that area. Additionally, the applicants are designing the pond in conformance with the 1998 Surface Water Manual. The difference arises in design due to differing requirements between publicly and privately owned ponds. Where the requirements that the City pointed out for publicly owned ponds are true, privately owned ponds have much iess stringent standazds, per the Manual. In , regazds to contentions by staff that maximization of lots on site are the driving force, that is simply not true, because even with the removal of lots 13 and 14, the pond requirements still could not be met. Also, �the applicant believes that there aze instances when the management and maintenance of such sites is more appropriate in private hands. Private landscape maintenance of a 7,500-square-foot pond can likely be done more efficiently, and probably just better, than the City. Safety concerns are likely to only relate to professional maintenance workers, because a 6-foot fence is also required. Nothing in the Federal Way regulations mandate publicly owned ponds and it is common in other jurisdictions to allow private ownership. Upon rebuttal: . Mr. LeBrie would argue that the site in question would have similar constraints as a commercial property and that water runoff would be similaz as well. Fear of a HOA not existing in the future should not be a reason for denial. In regards to whether a change would be minor or not, a reduction of lots would result in a simply administrative alteration.

David Litowitz on behalf of Landmark Homes, Inc. {PA0�537i7.DOC;l113041.900000\ } Prei'sminary Plat Recommendation p. 3 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation 14 2_ I-Iearin�. The Hearing Examiner conducted a hearing on the application at 2:00 p.m. at Federa( Way City Hail on January 27, 2010. He lefi the record open through February 3, 2010 in order to provide staff an opportunity to provide cunditions of approval should the applicant provide a stormwater detention facility with 3:1 slopes_ The Examiner extended the record to February 10, 2010, in order to provide staff and the applicant with additional time to agree upon a stormwater facility design_ Substantive: 3. Site/Provosal Description. The applicant proposes to subdivide an approximate three- acre parcel of land into 14 lots for establishment of single-family residences. Street improvernents, water, sewer, util'tties, storm di�ainage control improvements, and other related infrastructure improvements will be installed to service the plat. Currently the site is undeveloped and partialiy wooded, with 27 significant trees and thick shrubbery. Of the 27 trees, 11 will be removed. 4. Characteristics of the Area. The property is situa.ted in the southwestern portion of Federal Way and just north of Tacoma. The area is generally developed with residential housing of differing varieties. The land to the east is multi-family developments, and to the north, west, and south aze single-family zoning districts with single-family homes. 5. Adverse Impacts. The project has und"ergone a SEPA review and was issued a DNS_ Staff received no comments or appeals. The staff in their analysis of the project identified no significant adverse impacts and none were discemable from the record except ihat the initially proposed stormwater detention facility constituted a safety and maintenance hazard, as further discussed below. 6. Adequacv of Infrastructure and Public Services. As mitigated by staff, adequate infrastructure witl serve development as follows: Draina�e: Stormwater desigr► was the most contentious issue of this application. The applicants proposed 2:1 slopes for their storm drainage pond. S#aff testified that a maxitnurn of 3:1 slopes was authorized for publicly dedicated detention facilities. Slopes tha# are 3:1 aze consistent with the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), but not with the requirements for dedication to the City. Staff testified that since Federal Way has been incorporated, all stormwater detention facilities are publicly dedicated. The Examiner finds that, as testified by staff, public dedication is necessary to ensure safe and proper maintenance. As testified by staf� home owner associations are o$en unretiable and it becomes difficu(t for City staff to compel maintenance. Covenants can be added to allow staff to maintain the pond at the expense of the homeowner association, but these covenants can be very difficult to enforce since ultimate responsibility is ultimately divided amongst the property owners of the subdivision. In this case, after the verbal testimony portion of the hearing was closed, the applicant and Staff were able to negotiate a conceptual design that appears to comply with the 2:1 slope requirement of public detention facilities. This in part was accomplished by {PA0768757.DOC;1\130d1.900000\ } Preliminary Plat Recommendation p. 4 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation 15 displacing a 2:1 slope into an adjoining tract to be owned and maintained by a homeowner's association. In case the stormwater faciiity ultimately could nat meet public facility requirements, the staff agreed to allow the facility to stay in private ownership. There was no expianation in the post verbal hearing written materials as to how staff could conclude that private ownership was safe and appropriate after having spent considerabte time testifying that it was not. In short, staff provided very compelling and somewhat voluminous testimony justifying mandatory public dedication of residential stormwater facilities, and then agreed to private dedication with no explanation or evidence as to why this would be acceptable in this particular case. There is substantiai evidence supporting a requirement for public dedication and none for private dedication. Given the evidence, the Examiner cannot fmd that private dedication will provide for sufficient and safe maintenance. The design of the stormwater facility will have to be publicly dedicated and meet public faciliry requirements. If the facility cannat meet public dedication requirements, it will not satisfy the conditions of approval recommended by the Examiner. Other than the slope issue for the drainage pond, the stormwater facilities of the project meet the requirements of the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) as modified by the City. The facilities are adequate if they can be publicly dedicated. Transportation: As proposed and as requir�d by the FWCC, the subdivision will be accessed through SW 353 Street, which connects to Norpoint Way NE_ All lots are then accessed directly by SW 353` Street. The City's traffic engineer has reviewed the project and concluded that the proposed street layout is consistent with the FWCC and comprehensive plan in ptace at the time of the comptete application. In addition, SW 353` Street will be constructed to City Standard roadway section "W ' requirements, including a 28-foot paved roadway with curb and gutter, a four-foot plan#er strip with street trees, streetlights, and utility strip. Street lighting is also required. The Public Works Department and South King County Fire and Rescue have also approved preliminary roadway design and curve radii as proposed. Vehicular Access and eirculation. Concurrency analysis was performed to deternune whether there is adequate roadway capacity to accommodate the development and also to identify traffic mitigation. The report identifies eight Transportation Improvement Plan projects impacted by the proposal and results in a$24,723 pro-rata mitigation payment to address the problems (Exhibit A, page 5-6). The applicant may either make this payment or complete the identified improvements. Pedestrian Svste�n: As proposed and required, the plat complies with the FWCC subiiivision code requirements for on- and off-si#e pedestrian circulation; and as such a sidewalk will be provided along the length of SW 353` Street. Full street improvements inciude a four-foot-wide planter strip, five-foot-wide sidewalk, and three-foot-wide utility strip. The Federal Way School District has reviewed the plan and did not have any comments regarding school access or configuration. {PA0768757.DOC;IU3041.900000\ } Preliminary Plat Recommendation p. S Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation 16 • Open Space: The applicant has proposed to opt in favor of the permitted fee in lieu option rather than provide on-site open space. The fee in lieu of open space shall be calculated at 1 � percent of the assessed value of the property, based on King County assessment, at the time of final ptat approval. • Water: The applicant proposes to serve the subdivision with a public water supply and distribution system managed by the Lakehaven Utility District. The January 22, 2008, Certificate of Water Availability indicates Lakehaven's capacity to serve the proposed development. If additional hydran#s or other fire protection systems are indicated, a Developer Extension Agreement (DEA) may be required. • Sewa�e: The applicant proposes to serve the proposed plat by a public sewer system managed by Lakehaven Utility District . A January 22, 2008, 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. • Schoots: As part of the Ciry's review of the proposal, the preliminary plat application was referred to the Federal Way School District for review. A school access analysis submitted by the applicant indicates that the site is located in the service areas of Sherwood Forest Elementary, Illahee Junior High School, and Todd Beamer Senior High School. School service areas are review�d annually and ma.y be adjusted to accommodate enrollment growth and new development. All students will be served by bus access, and bus stops are at: 27�' Avenue SW & 351� Place for the elementary and junior high, and at SW 349�' Place & Coronado Park for the high school. 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 $4,218.00 per single-family housing unit School impact fees are determined on the basis of the District's Capital Facilities Plan and are subject to annual adjustment and update. The applicant's School Access Anatysis concludes that without pedestrian improvements between Norpoint Way and the end of 27�' Ave. S.W., "there is no other realistic access to the existing school bus stops" from the proposed development. The project will be conditioned to ensure that this issue is addressed. Fire Protection: South King Fire and Rescue requires tliat a fire hydrant be located within 350 feet of each lot. The Certificate of Water Avaiiability from Lakehaven Utiliry District indicates that water will be available to the site in sufficient quantity to satisfy fire flow standards for the proposed deveiopment. The exact number and location of fire hydrants will be reviewed and approved by South King Fire and Rescue. {PA0768757.DOC;1\t304L900000� y Preliminary Plat Recommendation p. 6 Findings, Conciusions and Recommendation 17 CONCLUSIOIYS OF LAW Procedural: 1. Authority of Hearin� Examiner: FWCC 20-110 (4) and (5) provide the Exarniner with the authority to conduct a hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council on preliminary plat applications. Substantive: 2_ Zoning Desi�nation: Single-Family — High Density, RS7.2 and Singte-Family — High Density, RS5.0 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 20-12b(c): Decisional Criteria. A Hearing Fxaminer shall use the�'ollowing criteria in reviewing the preliminary plat artd may recommend approval of the plat to the Ciry Council if (1) It is consistent with the compreherrsive plan, '` 4. The application is subject to the adopted Federai Way Gomprehensive Plan (FWCP), which designa#es the property as Single-Family — High Density. The proposed land use of a Single-Family housing development is permitted within the RS 7.2 and RS 5.0 zones and is consistent with density allowances and policies applicable to this land use as established in the FWCP_ FWCC 20-126(c)(2): It is consistent with all applicable provisions of the Chapter, including those adopted by reference�-om the comprehensive plan: 5. As discussed in the staffreport, the project complies with all applicable criteria in FWCC Chapter 20 except for stormwater detention requirements that apply to pubiic facilities. FWCC 20-183(a) provides that stormwater facilities must meet the requirements of the KCSWDM. Section 5.3.1(c) of the KCSWDM, which apparently only app(ies to public facilities (the staff report does not make this distinction and the Examiner does not have access to #he KCSWDI�, requires that at least 25% of the pond perimeter will be a vegetated soil slope no steeper than 3H:1 V. FWCC 20-183(c) provides tl�at stormwater facilities will be publicly dedicated "as appropriate." As previously deternuned, all residential storcnwater detention facilities are publicly dedicated and public dedication is necessary in order to ensure consistent, safe and adequate maintenance. Consequentiy, public dedication is "appropriate" and hence required under FWCC 20-183(a). As a publicly d�dicated facility, the facility must satisfy the slope requirements of KCSWDM Section 5.3.i(c). The project is conditioned accordingly. FWCC 20-126(c)(3): It is consiste�t 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 FWCP and map. Proposed {PA07687i7.DOC;1\13041.9000001 } Prel'uninary Plat Recommendation p. 7 Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation 18 access and fire hydrant l�cations must meet all requirements of South King Fire and Rescue, and alt future structures are required to be sprinklered. Future development of the plat in accordance with applicabte codes and regulations. Ivlitigation measures require payments and/or improvements for adequate infrastructure. As previously discussed, the project will also be conditioned to provide for public dedication of its stormwacer facility and in so doing will have to meet the slope requirements for public facilities. One issue related to public hea(th, safety and welfare that is curiously missing from the City's conditions of approval are pedestrian impcovements for safe walking couditions to schooi bus stops. The applicanYs own analysis indicates that there is no access to school bus stops without pedestrian improvements between Norpoint Way and the end of 27�' Ave SW, see Ex. I, p. 8. The project will be conditioned to provide necessary pedestrian improvements. As recommended with conditions, the project is consistent with public health, safety, and welfare. FWCC 20-126(c)(4): It is consistent with the design criteria listed in FWCC 20-2: 7. The proposed preliminary pla# would promote the ptuposes identified in FWCC Section 20-2 and the standards and regulations therein, as identified in the staff report, including effective use of land, promotion of safe and convenient travel on streets, and provision for the housing needs of the community. One exception is the design_, standards for the stormwater pond. As discussed elsewhere, public dedication is necessary, consequently compliance with the design standards of publicty own.ed facilities is required. The project is conditioned accordingly_ 8. FWCC 20-125{c)(5): It is consistent with the development standards listed in FWCC 20-1 SI through 20-157, and 20-178 through 20-187_ 9. Deveiopment of this site is required to compiy with the provisions of FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions," Chapter 18, "Environmental Protection," Chapter 22, "Zoning," and all other applicable local and state development codes and reguiations. As proposed, and as recommended by the Heazing Examiner, the preliminary plat application complies with all applicable statutes, codes, and regulations, with the exception of the pond retention facility. However, as conditioned, the application will be in compliance. RECOMMENDATION The Examiner recommends that the Ciry Council approve the preliminary plat as set forth in the staff report of David Lee, dated January 19, 2010, subject to the foliowing conditions: Public Works Conditions: l. Pedestrian improvements to assure safe walking conditions to school bus stops as detailed in the School Access Analysis.

In accordance with the Srate E�rviro�zmental Policy Act {SEPA) and FWCC Chapter 18, "Environmental Protection," all property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the site and all affected agencies, �cere notified of the proposed action and the Citv's environmentai decision. In addition, the site �ras posted and notice placed in the ne�vs}�aper and on the Citv's official notice boards. III STATE ENVIRONI�[ENT,�rL POLICY ACT An Environmental Determination of Not�.signifccance (DNS) was issued by the City of Federal Way for the proposed action on August 12, 2009 (Extubit E). This determinarion was based on review of information in the project file, including the environmental checklist (Exh�bit F), and staff evaluarion of the environmental checklist for the Norpoint Heights Subdivision (Exhibit G), resulting in the conclusion that the proposal would not result in probable significant adverse irn�acts on the environment, provided the subdivision is designed in accordance with city codes and policies. No comments or appeals on the SEPA decision �vere submitted to the Ciry. IV. NATURAL ENVQ20M1-IENT A. Soils — The 1973 King County soils survey map lists the soils type as Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loa.m (AgB)_ Alder�vood soils are eharacterized as moderately well drained soils that have a weakly consolidated to strongiy consolidated substratum at a depth of 24 — 40 u►ches. AgB soils are descnbed as capable for urban development, runoff is slow, and erosion hazard is s}ight. Typical soils excavation will occur with the street construction, at the site of the prc�posed on-site water qualitylflow control treatment faciliry, and for utility installation. The pretiminary clearing and grading pian depicts clearing limits for conshucrion of the following facilities: street right-of- way, surface water pond, demolition of existing structures, and utiliry development. B. Topography — ESM Consulting, has prepared a conceptual storm drainage analysis for the project (June 26, 2009, Exhibit H). The soils characterisrics are descn�bed in detail 'm the report. The City of Federal Way Environmentally Sensitive Areas Map does not reveal this site to be in a problem area relative to landslide, seismic hazard, erosion, steep slope hazards, or 100-year flood plain. Stafl'Report to the Federal Way Hearing Facaminer Norpoint Heighis Preliminary Plat Page 3 File No. 08-100329-00-SU/nY tn sz� 23 C_ vegetution - The site is currently partially wooded with thick shrubbery. A mixture of conifer and deciduous trees reside on the property. A tree s�uvey (Exhibit D) was submitted �vith the application as part of the required landscape plan. There are a total of 27 significant trees on the subject property. The applicant has proposed to remove 11 of these trees. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1568, no tree replacement is required. Retained significant trees outside of open space areas would be regulated under F'ederul Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19_ 120.130 "Tree & Vegetation Retention Requirements,-" at the time of individual home construction. D. bYetlunds - There are no wetlands on site or �vithin 200 feet of the subject praperty. No wetlands or surface �vaters are known to exist on or around the property, and no wetlands or streau� are identified on the City's environmentally sensitive areas maps. E. Wildlife and Habitat - No wilcllife species recognized as priority species are lrnovvr to inhabit the site or the nearby vicinity. V. NEIGHBORHOOD C�RACTEWSTICS Yicinity - The property is situated in the soufhwestern portion of the City along the Tacoma/Federal Way border, in a single-family residential area with RS 7.2, RM 1800, and RM2400 zoning encorr�assing the subject property. The site is currently undeveioped The land to the east is multi- family developments by the names of Coronado Village and Crystal Pointe Apartments- T�►e properties directiy north, west, and south are single-family zor�ed (RS 7.2) and developed �vith single- family homes. VI. GENERAL DESIGN A. Density and Lot Size - Pursuant to FWCC Section 20-153, a11 lots in conventional subdivisions shall meet the density and minimum lot size requirements—in this instance, 7,200 square feet per lot in the northern quadrant, and 5,000 square feet per lot in the southern half of the proposed development. The proposed 141ots eaeh meet these minimum sizes• B. Lot Layout - With the exception of lots 1, 6, & 12, all of the prc�osed lots are of rectangular shape. The subdivision is accessed through SW 353`� Street, which is perpendicnlar and connects to Norpoint Way NE. All building setback lines tBSBL) are depicted on the preliminary plat map, and each lot contains an adequate building area. A 50-foot-wide Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) easement runs north to south within the eastern portion of the site, traversing lots 4-10; however, the properties' builda.ble areas are shown outside of the easement and. should not impact the easement C. Open Space - To provide adequate recrearional �porttunties commensutate with new residential development, FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions," requires setting aside land on site for open space, or a fee in lieu payment. The applicant has proposed the fee in lieu �Sion rather than providing on-site open space. The fee in lieu of c�en space shall be calculated on 15 percent of the assessed value of the property based on a current King County assessment at the time of final plat approval. At the applicant's discretion, the market value may be based on an appraisal conducted by an MAI certified appraiser or another professional appraiser approved by the Parks Director.

Section VII of this report provides a detailed descnption of the proposed road�vay system and improvements. E. Pedests•ian Systern - A side�valk �vill be pro�ided along the length of SW 3�3` Street. Specifically, full street improvements include a four-foot-�vide planter strip, five-foot-wide sidewalk, and three-foot-�tiride utility strip. The Federal Way School District has reviewed the plans and does not ha.ve any comments at this time regarding school access paths or confi�uration. F. Landscape Bu�'ers - In accordance with FWCC Chapier 20, "Subdivisions," landscape buffers are spec�ed only �vhen the plat is adjacent to an incomparible zoning district. The proposed plat is bordered on all sides by single-family and multi-family residenrial zoning; therefore, no perimeter buffers are required_ A Type lIi landscape buffer 10' in tividth (Tract "A'"lEachibit A3) is provided along the length of Norpoint Way NE (west praperry line) in accorda.nce to FWCC Section 20-178(a). V I1. TRaivsroRTaTTOrr A_ St� Im�rovements -1�Vith the exception of lots 1, 6, & 12, a11 of the pr�osed iots are of rectangulaz shape. The subdivision is accessed throug}► SW 353'� Street, which connects to Norpoint Way NE. All lots are then accessed directly by SW 353� Street. The City's Traffic Engineer has reviewed the project and concluded that the praposed street layout of the IVorpoint Heights subdivision is consistent with the adopted codes and comprehensive pian in place at the time of the com�lete application. SW 353�' Street, which connects to Noipoint Way NE, shall be constructed to City Standard roadway section "W" as follotivs: a 28-foot paved roadway with ciub and gutter, a four-foot pianter strip with street trees, five-foot sidewalk, and a three-foot utility strip with streetlights, along all margins (52-foot right-of-way). The exisring right-of-way width aud pavement width appear to meet current standards; therefore, the applicant will be required to construct the planter strip, sidewalk, street trees, s�eetlights, and utility strip as a condition of this plat. Street lighring is required on all streets, pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1522. The Public Works Department and South King Fire and Rescu.e have approved pretiminary road�vay design and curve radii as proposed. B. Off-Site Traffic Mitigation - 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 capaciry to accommodate the development and identifies traffic mitigarion consistent with RCW 82.02. The staffreport of the Concurrency anaiysis identified 8 Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) projects itr�actedby one or more PM peak hour trips resulting in $24,723.00 in pro-rata mitigarion necessary to address any failures of the City's Level of Service (LOS) standard. Concurrency application No. 08-100331- 00 is hereby incorporated in full. The tabte below lists current TIP projects impacted by the proposed development and the apprapriate pro-rata contnbution. The applicant has the option of building the below-menrioned irr�rovements or paying the $24,723.00.

Schools — As part of th� City's initial revie�v of the proposat, the preliminar_y plat applica.tion was referred to the Federal Way Schoot Uistrict for comments. Comments from the school district indicate Sherwood Forest Elementary, Illahee Jr. High School, and Todd Beamer Senior High School will serve the proposed subdi� There is school bus transportation to all three schools. The praposed sidewalk from the develapment will provide safe access to bus stops. Bus stc�s are at: 27` Avenue SW & 351�` Place (Shenvood Forest Elementary SchooUIliahee Middle 5chool); SW 349 Place & Coronado Park (Todd Beamer High Schooi). The applicant provided on ]une 10, 2008, a School Access Analysis (Extubit I}. The school access analysis identifies a safe path of travel for students walking to and from school. In summary, a safe route of school-related pedestrian travel witl be provided by new pedestrian pathways, of on average, five-font asphalt walking pathn�xt ro the dr+ving s�rrface. A fi�ll derailed analy�i� of each pedestrian pathway to the schools is provided for within the School Access Anadysis. It should be noted, howeaer, due to the distance created by the location of the new subdivision and the existing schools, it is highly unlikely that pedestrian travel wiIl occur with any frequency. Final location and design of the school access path shall be approved by fihe Federal Way School District and the Federal Way Public Works Department prior to issuance of construction perrrrits for infrastructure in�rovements. School service areas aze reviewed annually and may be adjusted to accommoda.te enrollment growth and new deveiopment. School im�act fees, as authorized by City ordinance and collected at the time of building pemrit issuance, are currently $4,218.00 per single-family housing unit. School impact fees aze determined on the basis of the district's Capital Facilities Plan and are subject to annual adjustment and update. B. Parks �c Open Space — The applicant has chosen to satisfy the open space requirement of FWCC Section 20-155 via a fee in lieu payment, which is recommended to be approved by the City of Federal Way Parks Director. The fee in lieu of open space payment shall be calculated on l� percent of the most recent assessed or appraised value of the properiy. Stafl'Repciri to the Federal Way Hearing Exa�taner Norpi�int Heights PrelinanaryPlat Page 6 File No. 08-100329-00-SU/no�. t.n. s� 26 C_ Fire Protection — The Certificate of t3'ater Availabiliry from the Lakeharen Utility District indicates that water �vill be available ta the site in sufficient quantity to satisfy fire fiow standards for the proposed development. South King Fire and Rescue requires that a fire hydrant be located �vithin 3�0 feet of each lot. The exact number and Iocation of �re hydrants �uill be reviewed and approved by South King Fire and Rescue. IX. UTn,I�Es A_ Sewage Disposal — The applicant proposes to serve the proposed plat by a public sewer system managed by Lakehaven Utility District. A January 22, 2008, signed Certificate of Sewer �ivuil�biliry (Exlubit J) indicates the district's capacity to serve the pro�osed development through a Develo�er Extension Agreement (DEA) beriveen the applicant and the district. B. T3'Urer Suppl}- — The applicant proposes to serve the subdivision with a public water suppty and distr�bution system managed by the Lakehaven Urility District. A January 22, 2008, signed Cert�cate of Water Availability (Exhibit K) indicates I.akehaven's capaciry to serve the proposed development. If additional hydrants or other fire protection systems are indicated, a Development Extension Agreement may be required C. Druinage Facilities — Development of the site will create additional runoff from new impervious surfaces such as streets, driveways, and rooftops. Storm drainage facilities are subject to the 1998 King Cotrnty Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the City's amendments to the manual. The applicant's resubmitted August 25, 2009, preliminary Conceptual Storm Drainage Analysis (Exhibit H) by ESM Consulring Engineers, LLC �vas reviewed by the City's Public Works Deparnnent. The conceptual storm drainage plans submitted do not meet the Cit��'s requirements for the following reasons: 1_ Design Criteria — Per the requirements for Detention Ponds (Section 5_3.1.1. — Side Slc�es, item #3) of the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual and City Addendum: "Pond iv�rlls may be vertical retaining walls, provided: (a} they are constructed of reinforced concrete per Section 5.3.3 (p. S-3S); (b) a fence is provided along the top of the wall; {c) at least 2S% of the pond perimeter wild be a vegetated soil slope not steeper than 3K 1 V; and (d) the design is stamped by a licensed structural civil engineer. " The pond, as currently designed, does not provide the 3:1 slope as required in item (c). 2. Maintenance — The application proposes the storm drainage pond to be a}mvately held irrr�rovement to m�aximize the amount of lots poss�ble within this plat. Historically, privately- owned scorm drainage ponds do not receive regular maintenance, and therefore the ponds do not function praperly. Ponds that go un-maintained and become overgrown with vegetarion also lose their starage volume capacity and may go into overflow mode prematurely, which can cause adverse impacts and potentially property damage downstream of the pond. Ponds that are owned and maintained by the City's Surface Water Management division aze regularly maintained so that they function property and maintain their storage capacity. 3. �Vater Quality — By keeping these drainage systems public, the City can also ensure that they meet the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Permit requirements. Sia tl' Report to the Fede�al Way Hearing Exartaner Page 7 Narpoint Heights Prelirtgnary t'!at File Na. 08-100329-00-SU/n« t.n. s� 27 4_ Consistent with Cih- Polic�� - Ail ponds in ne�v subdivisions ha�e been dedicated to the City for ownership. In order for the City to have approved and accegted them those ponds met the des ign criterion that was in place at that time. �. Safety - The current pond design proposes a 2:1 stape, which is 50% steeper than a 3:1 slope, and does not meet the design criteria noted above. A 3: i slope creates a less hazardous slape for those maintaining the pond using mowers and other power equipment, and the 3:1 slape allows for easier egress from the pond in the event of accidentat falls into the pond Life- safety issues are not modified. Additionally, a landscape tract encornpassing the new storm��ater tract will be dedicated to the homeowners' associarion. The maintenance agreement for the private landscape tract shall be included on the face of the plat and the language shall be approved by the City. X. ANALYSIS OF DECISIONA►L CRiTERW The FWCC establishes review procedures and decisional criteria for deciding upon various types of land use applications_ Pursuant to FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions," Section 20-I 10, 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 F�VCC Secrion 20-126(c), the Nearing Examiner may recommend appro�at 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 2003 Federa! Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP), which designates the properry as Single Family - High Density. The proposed land use, Single-Family Residential plat, with 7,200 square-foot rninimum lot size (RS-72) and 5,400 square-foot minimum lot size (RS-S.0), is consistent with density allowances and policies . applicable to this land use as established in the FWCP. The application is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan Policies- a. LUP 14: Maintain and protect the character of existing and future single-family neighborhoods through strict enforcement of #he City�s land use regulations. b. LUP 17: Encourage the development of transportation routes and faciliries to serve single- farnily neighborhoods. Special attention should be given to pedestrian circulation. 2. The project is cor►sistent with alI applicable provisions of the chaptcr, including those adopted by reference from the comprehensive plan. Staff Comment: The preliminary plat application is required to comply with the provisions of the FWCC Chapter 18, "Environmental Polic}�'; Chapter 20, "Subdivisions�'; Chapter 22, "Zoning"; and all other applicable cc�des and regularions. Future development of the residential subdivision will be required to corr�ly with all applicable development.codes and regulations. As praposed, the proposed preliminary plat does not meet the requirements of FWCGSection 20-183, which is a component of Chapter 20, "Subdivisions", and therefore daes not meet this criteria. StalTRepcxi to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner Norpoint Heights Prelirrrinary Plat Page 8 File tio. 08-100329-00-SU/n�. i n szz� 28 FWCC Section 24-183 stipulates: (a) All land divisions sh�rll he provided 3vitli adeqtiate stornr drailiaJe systef�z designed an�l constructed in uccor�lunce with the surface water management reqt�irements in FWCC 21-26 et sey_, a�td the sto�•m �rnd surface iti�ater utiliry regirirerrterrts in Fi�VCC 16-76 et seq_ (h) As f°equired by the director o public �vorks land divisions shall provide stornt�4.citer detention or reterttion f�rcidities_ Such required systems should include bio-filtration siLzrles, o�Iwater separation clevices, or uny other appropriate systems approved by tbe public works director. (c) As appropriute, clie storm drui�zage system s/�a1d he dedicated ro tlie ciry upon uppi•oval of the final recorded document. The City of Federal Way's Public Works Department has concluded that the storm drainage pond does not meet FWCC Section 20-183 (a), as it does not meet the design requirements set forth in the adopted Surface Water Design Manual as fdlows: Per the requirements for Detention Ponds (Section 5.3.1. i. — Side Slopes, item #3) of the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual and City Addendum: "Pond walls may be vertical retaining walls, provided_• (a) they are constructed of reinforced concrete per Section 5.3.3 (p_ 5-35); (b) a fence is provided along the top of the wall; {c) at least 2S% of the pond perimeter ►vill be a vegetated soil slope not steeper than 3K-1 Y,• ancf {d) the desig►r is stamped by a licensed structural civil engineer. " The pond, as currently designed, does not provide the 3:1 slope as required in item (c). Additionally the Public Works Department has concluded that, per FWCC Section 20-183(c), it would be apprapriate to dedicate the storm drainage pond tract to the City for the following reasons: Maintenance — Ponds that are owned and maintained by the City�s Surface Water Management division are regularly maintained so that they function properly and mamtain their storage capacity. Historically, privately-owned storm drainage ponds do not receive regulaz maintenance, and therefore the ponds do not function properiy. Ponds that go un- maintained and become overgrown with vegetation also lose their storage volume capacity and may go into ovei mode premat�.u�ely, which can cause adverse im�acts and potentially praperiy damage downstream of the pond. 2. W�ter Quality — By keeping these drainage systems public, the City can ensure that they meet the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Permit requirements_ 3. Consistent with City policy — All ponds in new subdivisions have been dedicated to the Ciry for ownership. In order for the City to have approved and accepted them, those ponds met the design criterion that was in place at that rime. The Public Works Department can only recommend approval of the plat if the storm drainage pond is designed to meet all of the design criteria for publicly-ocvned ponds. 3. The project is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare. Staff Cornment: The proposed preliminary plat does not meet this requirement. The proposed preliminary plat would pernut development of the site consistent with the current Single Family - Stat1'Report to the Fe�ra1 Way Hearing Examiner Norpoint Heights Preliminazy Plat Page 9 File No. 08-100329-00-SL 1 D 52236 29 High Density land use classification of the F�VCP and map. However, the current pond design proposes a 2:1 slope, which is ��% steeper than a 3:1 stope, and does not meet the design criteria. A 3:1 slope creates a less hazardous slope for those maintaining the pond using mo�vers and other po�ver equipment and the 3:1 siope allows for easier egress from the pond in the event of accidental falls into the pond_ This is a life-safety issue and is not modi�ied 4. It is consistent �vith the design criteria listed in Section 20 2. Staff Cornment: The proposed preliminary plat would not promote the purposes identified in FWCC Section 20-2_ As stated in Criteria 3, the storm drau�age facility design does not promote the health, safety and general welfare in accordance with standards established by the state and the city. S. It is consistent with the development standards listed in Sections 20-I51 through 157, and 20-158 through 187_ Staff Comment: The preliminary plat application is required. to co�1y with the provisions of the FWCC Chapter 18, "Environmental Folicy"; Chapter 20 "Subdivisions"; Chapter 22, "Zoning"; and all other applicable codes and regulations. Future devetop�nt of the residential subdivision will be required to comply �vith all applicable development codes and regulations. As praposed, and as enumerated in Criteria 2, the praposed preliminary plat does not meet the requirements of FWCC Secrion 20-t 83 �vhich is a component of Chapter 20 "Subdivisions", and therefore does not meet this criterion. XI . FiNDINGS OF FACT Based on an analysis of the proposed action, environmental record, and related decisianal criteria, the Deparhnent of Community Development Services finds that: 1. The proposal includes the subdi�ision of 3.0 acres into 14 residential single-fa.m�ly lots and a stormwater detenrion facility. 2. The preliminary plat application is sub}ect to the 2003 FWCP, and the codes and regulations in effect at the time the application �vas deemed complete, which was February 21, 2008. 3_ The subject property is designated Single Family - High Density in the 2003 FWCP. 4. An Environmental Determination of Nonsig�zificance (DNS) was issued far this proposed acrion on August 12, 2009. No appeals of ihe SEPA decision were submitted to the City. 5. Zoning for the site is RS-72 {minimum lot size 7,200 square feet) and RS 5.0 (mmimum lot size is 5,000 square feet). The property is situated in the southwestem portion of the City along the TacomalFederal �'Vay border, in a single-family residenrial area with RS 7.2, RM 1800, and RM2400 zoning encompassing the subject property. The land to the east is multi-family develapments by the names of Coronado Village and Crystal Painte Apartments. The properties directly north, west, and south are single-family zoned (RS 7.2) and develaped with single-family homes. The proposed residential subdivision and density is consistent with applicable zoning and subdivision regulations_ 6. Pursuant to FWCC Section 20-1�3 on this 3.0-acre parcel, the 14 prc�osed lots comply with applicable density requirements. Staf1'Rep�[ to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner Norpoint Hei�ts Preliminary Plat Page 10 File No_ 08-100329-00-SU/o� � o s1�F 30 7. As proposed, each lot contains an adequate size and shape building em-elope to contain a future single-family residence. Building setback lines {BSBL) are identified on the preiiminary ptat T�P- There are a totat of 27 significant trees on the subject property_ The applicant has proposed to remove 11 of these trees. Pursuant to F1�VCC Section 22-1�53, no tree replacement is required. Retained significant trees outside of open space areas would be regulated under FWRC i 9.120.130, `°Cree & Vegetation Retention Requirements," at the time of individual home construcrion. 9. Development of the site �vill create additional runoff from new imper�ious surfaces such as streets, driveways, and rooftops. Storm drainage faciIities are subject to the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manuul (KCSWDM) and the City's amendments to the manual. The applicant's resubmitted August 2�, 2009, preliminary Conceptual Storm Drainage Analysis (EYt►ibit 13) by ESM Consulting Engineers, LLC t�-as revie�ved b�� the Cit��s Public Works Department. The conceptual storm drainage ptans submitted do not meet the City's requirements far the following reasons: a) Desiga Criteria— Pe� the requirements for Detention Ponds (Section 53.1.1. — Side Slopes, item #3) of the 1998 King County Surface Ff'ater �esign Manual and Ciry Addendum: "Pond walls may be vertical retaining �alls, provided: (a) they are constructed of reinforced concrete per Section S.3_3 (p. 5-35); (h) � fence is provided along the top of the wall; (c) at least 2S% of the pond perinzeter will be a vegetuted soil slope not steeper thun 3H.-1 V,- and (d) the design t,s stamped by a licensed structural civil engineer. " The pond, as currently designed, does not provide the 3:2 slope as required in item (c). b) Maintenance — Historically, privately-owned storm drainage ponds do not receive reguiar maintenarice, and therefore the ponds do not funcrion properly. Ponds that go un-maintained and become overgrown �vith vegetation also lose their storage volume capacity and �y go into overflow mode prematurely, which ca.n cause adverse iYr�acts and potentially property dama.ge downstream of the pond Ponds that are owned and maintained by the City's Surface Water Management division are regularly maintained so that they function prc�perly and maintain their storage capaciry. c) Water Quality — By keeping these drainage systems public, tiie City can also ensure that they �et the National Potlutant Discharge Elinunation System (NPDES) Phase II Permit requirements. d) Consistent with City Poticy — All ponds in new subdivisions have been dedicated to the City for ownership. In order for the City to have approved and accepted them, those ponds met the design criterion that wa.s in place at that time_ e) Safety — The current pond d�ign proposes a 2:1 slope, which is SU% steeper than a 3:1 slope, and does not meet the design criteria noted above. A 3:1 slope creates a less hazardous slape for th�e maintaining the pond using mowers and other power equipment, and the 3:1 slope allows for easier egress from the pond in the event of accidental fa11s into the pond Life- safety issues are not modified. 10. The City's Traffic Engineer has reviewed the project and concluded that the proposed street tayout of the Norpoint Heights subdivision is consistent with the adopted codes and cornprehensive plan in place at the time of the corr�lete application Staff'Report to the Federal Way Hearing Exarrriner Norpoint Heights Preliminary Plat Page 1 l File No. 08-i W329-00-SU/n�. i.�. sn� 31 11. A safe route of pedestrian travel �vill be provided by constn�ction of a five-foot side�valk next to the dri� ing surface, separated by an extruded asphalt curb from the project site along SW 353r Street. Final location and design of the school access path shaIi be approved by the Federal Way School District and the Federal Way Pubiic VVorks Departmeni prior to issuance of construction permits for infrastructure improcements. 12. Water and sewer facilities are available from the Lakehaven Utility District and are adequate to serve the proposed development. It is the applicant's responsibility to secure all necessary water and sewer services from the utility provider. 13. The applicant has chosen to satisfy the open space requirement of FWCC Section 20-155 via a fee in lieu payment, which has been recommended for approval by the City of Federal Way Parks Director. The fee in lieu of �en space payment shall be calculated on 15 percent of the most recent assessed or appraised value of the praperty at the time of finai plat approval. 14. The praposed preliminary piat is pernutted by FWCC Chapter 20 "Subdivisions and Chapter 22 "Zoning_" 15. The proposed subdivision and all attachments have been reviewed for compliance with the FWCP; FWCC Chapter 18, "Environmental Protection"; Chapter 20 "Subdivisions"; Chapter 22, "Zoning"; and all other applica.ble codes and regulations_ As propased, the preliminary plat is not consistent vvith the FWCP and a11 applicable codes and regularions. Section X of this staffreport is hereby incotporated into the Findings of Fact. XIi RECOA4MMENDATION Based on review of this application and pertinent decisional criteria, the Department of Community Development Services recommends denial of the preliminary plat as submitted as it does not meet the decisionaI criteria of FWCC Section 20-126{c).

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 infonnation to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposai, 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 ageneies use tius checklist to determine whether the envu-onmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring prepazation 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 abie to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. ff you do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not knSw" or "does not apply." Complete answers ta questions now may avoid unnecessary deiays later. Some questions ask about govemmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and iandmazk designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist qnestions apply to all parts of your proposai, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different pazcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposai or its environmental eff�ts. The agency to which you submit fihis checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to detemuning if there may be significant adverse impact. USE OF CHECHI,IST FOR NON PROPOSALS Complete this checklist for non-project pmposals, even though questions may be answered "dces not apply." In addition, compiete the Supplementai Sheet for Non-Project Actions. For non-proj�t actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectiveiy. ��'�=:�� ,�� 2 � �� Bulletin #O50 — December 22, Z005 Page 1 of 18 k:Wandouts�Environ °`�� '' 46 �� A. $ACKGROUND 1.

S�,�PLE��.°ra:, S��r �ag Nar.t-��o.i��'r ��s Because these questions are very generai, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the elements of the environment When answering these questions, be awaze of the proposal, of the types of activities likely to result from the proposal, and if they are likely to affect the item at a greater intensiry or at a faster rate than if die proposai were not implemented. Respond briefty and in general terms. l. How would the proposai be likely to increase discharge to waxer; emissions to air; production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise? Any disturbance to native land could cause an increased discharge to water, emissions to air, producfion, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances, or produce noise. This development, similar to most residential housing developments, wi1! require the development of roads, u6liUes and new homes, which wiU require the use of power, gas for cars and ather toxic or hazardous produces. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases: The project wili be design, built and managed using curren# city, state and federal s#andards and guidelines. 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect glants, animais, fish, or marine life? The project will eventuaily remove most existing plants/vegetation from the site, which will be replaced with normat landscaping around residentiai homes. Any wildiife a�imais currentiy within the project area will be disturbed_ Stormwater from tt►e site wiU be directed to on-site water quantity and quality facilities which wi11 fielp ireat the new surface water from this development which rlischarges into Commencement Bay, This water #reatment wi11 help improve the wafer quality before it is discharged into the marine environment. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life: There are no proposals fo protect o� conserve plants or animals on the site and the proposed onsite sto�rnwater facilities will heip protect fish and marine environment 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy of natural resources? The project will likely use energy from naturai resources for heating ofi the homes, operating vehicles, electrical usage and similar usages normaity used in residentiai communities, all of which are depte6ng natural energy resources. Only a national commitment towards the develapment of renewable energy resources will change this depletion. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and naturai resources: The homes wilt likely have a!I the new high effiaency appliances and built with reguiated insulation reyuiremen#s and high affect furnaces and water heaters, which all help to conserve energy.

How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally critical areas or areas designated (or zlig�biz or ur�uer study) ior �overnmentai proteciion; such as parics, wiidemess, wiid and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands? This project is a smal! parcei surrounded by singte fiamiiy deveiopments and apa�tmsnts. There is no environmentally criticai areas on or near this site. The new residents moving into this new development couid likely use or effect off-site environmental critical areas. Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts: There are no proposais with this praject to avoid impacts to off-site environmental cri6cal areas. 5. How would the proposat be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would ailow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans. N/A Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts: N/A 6. How would the proposat be tikely to increase demands on transportation or public service and utilities? The project is a standardl4 lot residentiat subdivision, which will have 14 new residents which will eventually increase demands on transportation, pubiic services a�d utiGties, simiiiar to most residential subdivisions. Proposed measures to reduce of respond to such demands: This project will pay many mitigation costs, impact fees, surcharges, system devefopment fees along with many permit fees and finally the new residents will pay property taxes and other govemment fees for most if not all services. 7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or requirements for the pmtection of the environment. This project is expected to be design, buil# and managed based upon current laws and protections with no expected conflicts.

The Norpoint Heights Subdivision is located west ofi 25th Avenue SW, south of SW 352" S#reet, east of No�point Way in Tacoma and bordering the King County and Pierce Coun#y line. The north side of the property abuts residential developments and a smali park. The east side of the property abut a residential subdivisions, the south side abuts a singie famiiy home and a apartment complex and wes# sides abuts Norpoint Way NE located within the City of Tacoma, Section 24, Township 21 Morth, Range 3 East. The project contains just over 3 acres. Tfie site does not have any buildings to remove. It is currently covered with heavy underbrush and trees. There is one power pole on the site which is in a 50 foot wide power line easement. The property generally slopes in a westerly direction, with slopes generaily around 14 percent or less on the site. The access to the site wi11 come from Norpoint Way NE in Tacoma, with an interior road probably named SW 353rd St. The proposal is to develop 14 single-family residential lots add an access road with curb, gutter and sidewalks off Norpoint Way, and add a pedestrian access to 25fh Avenue SW The sanitary sewer and water wilf come from Lakehaven Utility District. There is a small sewer pump station near the northwest corner of this site which this site will u#ilize. Access will be from an existing utility easement. Water wiU run though the site, from south to north, connecting to an existing water system along the south property line and running north though the site and extending though an existing park over to 25th Ave. SW . The site is located within Federal Way's "Lower Puget Sound" drainage basin. The entire si#e will flow to a combination detention water quality facility before discharging to the City of Tacoma's conveyance system which discharges straigh# down Norpoint Way to Commencement Bay. The sys#em design wil! be guided by both the City ofi Federal Way and the City of Tacoma stormwater design guidelines. Both jurisdictions generally allow continuous rainfali runoff modeling, which since the site is in King County, wiA be KCRTS along with other requirements set forth in the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDMj and in the 2003 City of Tacoma Surface Water Management Manuai. A water quality facility will be part of the detention pond creating a combined detention wetpool facility using the requirements set forth in the 1998 King County SurFace Water Design Manual (KCSWDM). This site is in the City of Federal Way's Basic Water Quaiity Area. The downstream conveyance system will be analysis using the 2043 City of Tacoma Surface Water Managemen# Manual, which in this case will be the ra#ional method.

Each soil ries is desczibed and then each mapping unit in ;hat sezies. Unless it is specifically mentioned �therwise, iL is to be assumed that what is stated . �out the soii series hoids tiue for the mapping :its in tfi at sezies_ Thus, to get full infozmation about any one mapping unit, it is necessary to read �oth the description of the mapping unit and the :scription of the soil series to rrhich it beiongs. An important part of the description of each soil series is the soii p�ofile, that is, the sequence of layeas from the surface downwazd to �ck or other underlying mater�iai. Each series �ntains two descriptions of this profile. The first is bz�ief and in terms famiiiar to the layman_ The second, detaiied and in technical teYms, is for _ientists, engineers, and others who need to make zorough and precise studies of soils. Unless it is otheiwise stated, the colozs given in the descriptions are those of a moist sozl_ As mentioned in the section "Ho�a This Survey Was 3de," not all mapping units aie members of a soil series. Urban iand, for example, does not belong to a sail series, but nevertheless, is listed in iphabetic order along with the soi3 series. Following the name of each mapping unit is a symbol in patentheses. This symbol identifies the mapping unit on the detailed soil map. L-isted at he end of each description of a mapping unit is the apability unit and woodland group in which the raapping unit has been placed. Tt;e woodland desig- nation and the page for the description of each apability unit can be found by �eferring to the Guide to htapping i3nits" at the back of this survey. Th� acreage and propoztionate extent of each mapping unit are shown in table 1. Many of the :erms used in describing soils can be found in the ;lossary at the end of this survey, and more de- �ailed informa.tian about the tezminology and methods of soii mapping can be obtained from the Soil Sarvey lanual (19), Alderw�d Series The A1de2wood series is madF up of moderateiy rell drained soils that have a�eakly consolidated co strongiy consoiidated substratum az a depth of 24 to 40 inches_ These soils axe on uplands. �fheY 'ozmed under conifers, in glacial deposits.

The City of Federal Way follows the 1998 KCSWDM, which has eight core requirements and five special requirements. The City of Tacoma's 2003 Surface Water Management Manual has ten minimum requirements and two additional requirements. KCSWDM - Core Reauirement No. 1- Discharae at the Natural Location TSWMM - Minimum Requirement No. 4- Preservation of Natural Drainaqe Svstems and Outfalls City of Federal Way: The entire site drains west #o the City of Tacoma under existing and proposed conditions. It will drain to an existing conveyance system which flows straight south in Norpoint Way all the way to Commencement Bay. City ofi Tacoma: The entire site generally drains w+est eventually discharging to a catch basin at the sta�t of the City of Tacoma's stormwater conveyance system in Norpoint Way. Fiows stay in the City of Tacoma and continue in a conveyance system to Commencement Bay. KCSWDM - Core ReQuirement No. 2- Offsite Analvsis TSWMM - Additional ReQuirement No. 1- Off-Site Analysis and MitiAation City of Federal Way: "AI! proposed projects must submit an offsite anafysis report that assesses potential offsite d�ainage impact associated with development of #he project site and proposes appropriate mitigation of those impacts." (See Sec#ion 111 of this report) City of Tacoma: Since the site flows to Tacoma, this submittal includes a downstream analysis as described in Volume t11 Chapter 4 of the City of Tacoma's Surface Water management Manual. (See Section Ili of this repo�t, Offsite Analysis, for this in#ormation). KCSWDM - Core Reauirement Wo. 3- Flow Controi TSWMM -Additional ReQUirement No. 7- Flow Control City of Federal Way: The flow control facility will be located within the City of Federal Way. Based on the City of Federal Way s#andards, the proposed onsite improvements (buildings, driveways and the private access road) will introduce more than 90,000 square feet of new impervious area; therefore, onsite storm water flow control is required. The project would propose 1-5 74 � �� ' � „ to design a detention pond to a Level 1 Flow Control standard as set forth in the 1998 KCSWDM. City of Tacoma: Afthough the flow control facility will be located in the City of Federal Way, it will discharge to the City of Tacoma's conveyance system; therefore the flow control needs to be designed with this in mind. Per the TSWMM, Figure 3-4, the proposed onsite improvements (buitdings, driveways and the private access road) wiii introduce more than 10,000 square feet of effective impervious area; but not to Leach Creek or F1ett Creek Watershed, nor does it discharge to fresh water. lt does not discharge #o an open system so a qualitative downstream analysis in required. (See downstream analysis) This analysis indica#es that the existing conveyance system will contain the design flows, so flow control, per #he City of Tacoma may not be required. However, since it is in Federal Way, it is required. The project proposes to design a detention pond using a "continues rainfallrunoff modeling", which, since the si#e is in King County, w+ll be KCRTS. It will discharge at a Level 'i per the KCSWDM, which means it matches the existing si#e conditions 2 and 10 year peaks. KCSWDM - Core Requirement No. 4- Convevance Svstem TSWMM - Additional Requirement No. 1- Off-Site Analvsis City of Federal Way: "All engineered conveyance system element� for proposed projects must be analyzed, designed and constructed to provide a minimum level of protection against overtopping, flooding, erosion, and structural failure as specified". The City of Federai Way's conveyance requirements for a new system are per Section '1.2.4.1. The conveyance sys#em must be designed with sufficient capacity to convey and con#ain (a# a minimum) the 25-year storm peak flow, assuming developed conditions for onsi#e tributary areas and existing conditions for any offsite tributary areas. The means to check the capacity o# the proposed conveyance system for the Norpoint Heights Subdivision was Tab1e 3.2, page 3-10 of the 1998 KCSWDM. Insofar as the project Natural Discharge Area is less than 10 acres and the majority ofi the tributary area is detained, the King County Runoff Time Series (KCRTS) with 15-minute #ime steps runoff computation method wili be used for the capacity analysis of the site. The new conveyance system analysis and design will be done during the final stage of this project. City of Tacoma: The City of Tacoma's conveyance requi�ements for a new system are per Volume 111, Chapter 4. All pubfic and private pipe systems less than 24 inches in diameter shali be designed to convey the 10-year 24-hour peak flow rate without surcharge. All conveyance systems shall be designed for the fuli-deveioped conditions. The fuNy developed conditions for the project site shall be derived #rom the percentage of proposed and existing impervious area. For off-site #ributary areas, typical percentage of a . ,; ; _ � _ _ ... i-6 - � >� �.: 75 _ . _ _.,��:..w.• �. ';� impervious area for fuliy developed conditions is provided in Tabie 4.1.

City of Federal Way: All proposed projects must provide water quality {WQ) facitities to treat the runoff from new and/or replace pollution-generating impervious surfaces and pollution-generating pervious surfaces. The si#e is located within a Basic Water Quality Treatment Area as identified on the City of Federal Way Water Quali#y Applications Map. � City of Tacoma: The following projec#s require construction of stormwater treatment facilities (See Table 3.1 TSWMM) Projects in which the total of the effective poltution-generating impervious surface (PGIS) is 5,000 square feet or more in a threshold discharge area of the project, or Projects in which the total of pollution-generating pervious surface (PGPS) is three- quarters (314) of an acre or more in a th�eshold discharge area, and from which there is a surface discharge in a naturai or man-made conveyance system firom the site. � ' �� ° : . � r _ � ,z , 3 4 .;, � .. _ 1-7 � � � f j "; � � 7 6 ±,. 3 _. �, , ,. _ _ The Norpoint Heights Subdivision proposal wiil utiiize the proposed combined deten#ion/wetpoo! facility as mitigation for water quality.

KCSWDM —Special Rectuirement No. 4- Source Controls "Water quality source controls prevent rainfall and runoff from coming into contact with pollutants, thereby reducing the iikelihood that pollutants will enter public waterways and violate water quality standards." A combined detention and wetpoof facility is proposed for water quality treatment of runoff from the paved surface subject to vehicuiar traffic, prior to discharge into the downstream public drainage system.

The standards established for the finro jurisdictions are similar enough to provide an acceptable design for both Cities. The stormwater runoff from the project site will be collected from the access road, roof, grass and landscaped areas, and conveyed through a pipe system to a combined detention wetpond facility and then discharge to the City of Tacoma conveyance system. OVERALL SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS & PR�POSED MITIGATION The summary of Section III "Off-Site Analysis", within this TIR indica#es this system is adequate #or the discharge from the proposed combined detention lwet pond facility design using the leve! 1 design parameters. No other mitigation is proposed. Soils Information The King County Soils Survey by the US Soils Conservation Service (1973) generalizes the soils in the vicinity of this project as Alderwood Series; AgC. These soils are made up ofi mostly poorly draini�g soils that have a weakly consolidated to strongly consolidated substratum at a depth of 24 to 40 inches. �-10 ; � s , rtti �� ,�sF __ � � .,_ 79 - .. , . ,...,�, �'^° � � -.-- � �� _ .._._ SEGTION !I PRELIMlNARY COlVDITIONS SUNiMARY There are no preliminary conditions yet. 2-1 so � w $ � - - � ` ; - ,. .. � � : _ , ..,.�= _ - .� �= SECTION II1 OFFSITE ANALYSIS This off-site review wiH follow both the City of Federal Way and City of Tacoma guidelines. Citv of Federal Wav: (This portion follows the KCSWDM) The following is a Preliminary Level I Downstream Anaiysis, which looks at the drainage system 1/4 mile downstream of the site along with the five tasks outiined under the Leve! 1 Downstream Analysis. (See Overali Drainage Map in Appendix). The five Tasks are: Task 1- Study Area Definition and Maps Task 2 - Resource Review Task 3 - Field inspection Task 4- Drainage System Description and Problem Screening Task 5 — Mitiga#ion Task 9- Study Area Definitions and Maps See Figure 111 - A within this report is an overall map showing the project site and #he downstream drainage path going south. Task 2 - Resource Review Since the site discharges to the City o# Tacoma a review of their downstream system was conducted. From this review, flowrs go immediately into a conveyance system which goes direc#ly to main storm line which goes directly to Commencement Bay. There is no area which will have adverse affects or problems downstream of the project site. Task 3 - Field lnspection A site inspection was conducted on 11-30-07 of the downstream system and the study area. The inspection revealed that this area is generally a mixture o# older homes with some newer homes and developments scattered #hrough-out the study area. Starting at the Pierce County/King County fine, any flows would generally start in the new conveyance sys#em built with the new Norpoint Way roadway improvements just a coupie of years ago in the City of Tacoma. Flows will s#ay within this closed conveyance system for the entire 'I /4 mile downstream review, and on to Commencement Bay. Task 4- Drainage System Description ar+d Problem Screening At the end of this proposal in Norpoin# Way there is a new storm system built with this new road. The system staris with a coupie o# catch basins on either sid� of the new �� 3 , �� . '� �� 3 si � : � �; �::� _ , .. . .. ._ s.._ �. } - road. From these catch basins there are 8" storm lines going northeriy to a Type 2 manhole. From this manhole there is a new 10" main storm line running in a northwest direction to a second type 2 manhole. A 12 line continues in a westerly direct to a cast- in-place manhole over an exis#ing 36" storm line. This line runs in a north-south direction. Flows go south in this 36" main line to 29th Street NE were it tums east over to Norpoint Way were i# turns again and continues south in Norpoint Way . Task 5 — Mitigation Since there are no known drainage issues with the downstream system, the proposed mitigation would be to follow Federal Way's "�evei 1" detention and their "Basic" water quality requirements in #he 1 998 KCS WDM. Citv of Tacoma: (This portion follows the TSW MM) The following is a Qualitative Anaiysis under Additional Requirement #1 - Off-Site ,� Analysis and Mitigation" as defined in the TS WMM, page 3-33. This Quantitative Anaiysis has five tasks that are: Task 1- Define and map the study area, Task 2- Review all available infiormation on the study area, Task 3- Field inspect the study area, Task 4- Describe the drainage system, and its exis#ing and predicted problems through observations and hydrauiic modeling of the City specified �es9gn storm event described in Chapter 4 �/olume !i!. Task �-Define and Map the Study Area See Figure 111 - B within this report represents an overaH map showing the project site and the downstream drainage path going generaliy south. This map generally shows #he drainage basins that flow into this system. The study area is generally residential with a few roads. Task 2- Review a11 available information on the study area. A review of the available infiormation was conducted wi#hin the City of Tacoma Surface Water Management Manual along with the City of Tacoma's Public Works web site. Per the TSWMM, this area is within the "Northeast Tacoma" wa#ershed area, which on page 2- 13 describes this area as generally residential with open spaces and undeveloped land. Most of this watershed discharges directly to Commencement Bay. The sub-basin this project flows to discharges directly to Commencemen# Bay. Flow control requirements, as defined in this section, call for projects which do not discharge to a creek or caulch, which would include this p�o'tect, but are instead piped all 3-2 s 2 - � �� .� . ._ _ the way to a marine out#a1f, require an offsite analysis for capacity. (This is done under Task 4) This section also indicates that none of the stormwater discha�ges in this area are to fish bearir�g streams. This would indicate that enhanced treatment for water quality is not required. Task 3-Field lnspecf the study area A site inspection was conducted on .1'I-30-07 of.the downstream system and the study area. The inspection revealed that this area is generaliy a mixture of older homes with some newer homes and developments scattered throughout the study area. Starting at the Pierce CountylKing County 1ine, any flows would generally start in the new conveyance system built with the new Norpoint Way roadway improvements just a couple of years ago in the City of Tacoma Flows will stay within this closed conveyance system for the entire ?4 mile downstream review, and on #o Commencement Bay: The enclosed conveyance system generatly starts at the new access road for this Norpoint Heights Subdivision. Flows continue in a northwest direction until it enters the main 36" line running nor�h/south in 59 Ave. NE . NE. Flows continue flowing south in 59�' Ave . NE until it reaches 29& S#. E. where it turns east and then south again in Norpoint Way NE. Flows stay in Norpoint Way NE almos# all the way to Commencement Bay. The conveyance sys#em veers off this road near the bottom of the hill and discharges in a sma11 cove nex# to Commencement Bay. There did not appear to be any excessive erosive areas along the conveyance system's path. Task 4- Describe the drainage system, and its existing and predicted problems through observations and hydraulic modeling of the City specijied design storm event described in Chapter 4 Volume lll The following section reviews the existing conveyance system with developed basins using S#ormshed a hydraulic modeling programs. lt appears tfie downs#ream conveyance system is sized eorrectly for the deveioped drainage basin in a 10 year storm event, see priniou#. Per City of Tacoma requirements, oniy the conveyance system between a project and a 24" or iarger main line needs to be reviewed, which is what is enclosed. 3-3 `� ? 8 3 � �� _��;: , , __ . t , ._ ��C f - __.__ 7 " i �f _� _. .\ t ,�� , ; ( ; � � _ .�. i�i�`' . �'r,_ 0 ,� � � � if! ,�., __�. ,� � ,; , � � i \��- �= _ i C� I�O. �-,: ;: � _. � [� ` , �, � ` -- �\�`.

WATER QUANTITY Area-Specific Flow Control Standards Under the City of Federal Way, this project would be subject to Core Requirement #3 (Flow Contro!) which, a# a minimum, would need to comply with one of the three area- specific flow control standards: Leve! 1, Level 2, or Levei 3, whichever applies per the #hreshold informa#ion de#ailed in Section 1.2.3.1 of the 1998 KCSWDM. King Coun#y Department of Natura! Resources has determined by the King County Ftow Control Applications Map that a Level 1 Fiow Cont� appiica#ion would be appropriate for this area. The City of Federal Way's F1ow Controi Map also shows this area as a Level 1_ KCRTS will be used for flow control modeiing of the development. Under the City of Tacoma, per the Figure 3-4 of the TSWMM, the proposed onsite improvements (buildings, driveways and the private access road) will introduce more than 10,000 square feet of effective impervious area. However, i# does not discharge to Leach Creek or F1ett Creek Watersheds, nor does i# discharge to fresh water, so only a qualitative downstream analysis in required. The analysis in the previous section shows the existing conveyance system wili con#ain the proposed flows, so the only control required #rom Tacoma is a level 1. The proposal is to design a detention pond using a"continues rainfalUrunoff modeiing", which, since #he site is in King County, will be KCRTS. It will discharge, per Table 1.2.3.A of the KCSWDM, "match the existing 2-year to '! 0-year peak flow, which is generaliy a Level 1. Existing Site Hydrology Existing conditions on #he Norpoint Heights Subdivision site consists of underbrush, trees, one power pole, no buildings and gravel driveway al! in a fo�est condition. There is only basin, Basin A(See Figure IV-A). Using KCRTS the site will be modeled as ti11 forest inciuding a portion of Norpoint Way NE righ#-of-way, as detailed in the area delineation table below: BASIN BASIN 1� Tt3TAL AREA (Ac) 3.13 TABLE IV.1 ed Pond Tribut IMPERV: (Ac) 0.00 J 0.00 � 3.13 4-1 s� � �: _ _ �,.

Reviewing the Federal Way Surface Water Resources Map, the "basic water quality" is required for this project. Under the City of Tacoma, since this project does not discharge to fish bearing stream, it would not need enhanced treatment fior water quafity, but it will be a project with a to#al of 5,000 square fieet or more ofi pollution-generating impervious surface (PGIS) in a threshold discharge area, so it would be subject to the "Basic Treatment" options. The proposed Norpoin# Heights Residential Subdivision will utilize a combined detention/wetpool facility as mitigation for water quality. Since the bottom of the proposed detention/wetpoo! fiacility is less #han 1,500 SF, no access road to the bottom is proposed.

The outwash and �il deposits were deposited during the Vashon stade o1 the Fraser Gfacia�on, approximately 12,Ofl0 to 15,000 years ago.

The e�ctsUng open test pits observed at the site ranged from 4.5 to 7 fest in depth and ganerally conf'irmed the mapped strat�graphy. In general� the test pits encountered Y� to 1-#00# of forest dufl and topso7 manding sanai and gravei wi#h va�iabfe amounts of sllt and cobbles. We interpret this sand and gtavei material to be recessionai outwash deposits. The �es# plts on fhe sout�west porbon of the s�te encountered the sand and gravei to depths of up 3o B feet Glacial �'ti was enca�ntered at depths of 5 to S feet below the ground surface. Tes# pits in the norttieast portion ofi the site enc�s.�Mered beiween 3 and 4 feet of oulw�ash sar�d and gravel over gfadal b'f1. Tfie recessiona! outwash sand with gravef soils were in a medlum dense to dense condition. 'fis autwash was unde�tain by dense to very dense glacia! till. AEthough no groundwater seepage was observed, localized mottling was observed in the upper portion of the giaaal tiU in several ot the test pits in the wsst pc�riton fl# the siie. This would suggest a seasonal perched groimdwater condi�on, likely above the dense giacial tili. Perched groundwa#er #ypicaiiy develops when the vsrtical tr�filtra#ion of preclpl#ati�n ihrough a more pem�eabie soli is slowed at depth by a deeper� less permeabte soIi type. The greatest volume of perched water wlq tikeiy occur in late spring or early summer foliowing the wet weather season. Landslide Hazard tndica#ors -- per Ci#y of Federa!

Foundat�on Sup�rt Based on the encourrtered subsurface soil cond�ians encountered across the site, we recommend that spread fooiings for the new residences be founded an dense to very dense native g�cial tili flr an stnacturai fili �a# extends to suitabie t�ative sails. The soi! a# the base af the excava�ons shauki be d�sturbed as Utt�e as possible. Atl ioose, soft or unsultabls ma#e�a1 shflutd be removed or recompac#ed, as approprlate. A representabve from our �irm should observe the ioundafk�n excavati�ns to determine if suitable bearing surfaces have been prepared, particutarly in the a�eas where the foundador� w!u be situated o� #i!! material. We recommend a minimum widih t�f 2 feet for isolated foo�ngs and at least 16 inches #or continuaus waq faotings. Ali footing ef$ments shoutd be embedded at leas# 18 inches below grade for frost prote�tion. Foo�ngs fvunded as dascdbed abave can be designed usl�g an allowaWe saii bea�ir�g capacity of 2,600 psf (pounds per square foof) for cmmbined dead and long term Ihre loads. Tha welghf of the footing and any overiyyi�r�g back�ll may be neglecterl. The aliowabfe bearing value may be increased by one-third for fransient loads such as those induced by seismic events or wind loads. La#era! k�ads rnay he raslsied by friction on the base of foo#ngs and itoor s�abs and as passlve pressu�e o� the sides of footings. WE recommend #hat an ailowabfe coefflcient of frlctian of 4.35 be used to catcula#e fr�tior� b�tween the conc�ete and the undedying st�it. Passlve pressure may be d�termined using an ailowable equtvalent fiuirf d�nsirt�► of 300 pcf �pounds per cubtc #aot}. Fac#ors ai safie�y have been appiied to these vatues. Vlle estimate that se#tlemer�ts of #ootings deslgned and constructed as recvmmended wili be less than i inch� fc�r the ar�ticipated load conditions, wi#h differentiai settiements between comparably toaded footings of i/2 Inch or 1ess. Mos# of the sei�ements should occur essentiaAy as loads are being appTied. However, disiurbance o1 the foundaUon subgrade du�ng conshc»cHon could resul# ln larger settlerner�s than predicted. _ Fioor Siab Support � "�` j�. � � - � ��, �;; 103 - LandmarkHm.No�o1�t.Rt� JanuBry 18, 2008 Page 8 Stabs-on-grade, # constructed, should be supported on the medivm dense r�ative sa'!s or on struc#urai fil! prepared as described above. Aray arsas of ald fi11 rnateriai shfluid be evatuated during grading acttvity for suitabilily of structural support. Areas ot slgnificant organk debrls should be �emoved.

The access to Sherwood Forest Elementary School bus stop is only available by crossing a newly constructed biofiltration swaie built for the Norpoint Way improvements. Ifi this swale was crossabie, studen#s would come out of this development and foliow the sidewalks along Norpoint Way� to the non-existent intersection with 27�' Ave. SW. There are sidewalks along 27 Ave. SW to the bus pick-up point about a block away. The bus stop is at 27�' Ave. SW and SW 351 �` Place. There are sidewalks on all the roads except over the biofiltration swale beiween Norpoint Way and the end of 27 Ave. SW. lt appears pedestrians have been crossing the swale at this point See photos #1 thru 4 showing the access route and pick-vp areas.

The project is located at SW 352"� and 27�' Ave SW. Under current boundaries, this development is in the Sherwood Forest Elementary, Illahee Middle School and Todd Beamer 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 transpc�rtation to Sherwood Forest Elementary, illahee Middle School, and Todd Beamer High School. Bus stops are reviewed � annually as studeni transportation needs change. The closest stop for Sherwood Forest Elementary and Illahee Middle School is on 27�' Ave SW at SW 351�` Si.. The closest stop for Todd Beamer High School is on SW 349�' Pl at 26fl9 (Coronado Park). 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 aze guidelines for preparing this analysis. The most rec;ent Federal Way School District Capital Facilities Plan indicates a student yield of .7194 from new single-family housing. This development could add 10 to 11 new students. These are averages only; ttie actuai number vi s�udents . vary. T'r,is may �::,ate a r�eeci for additicnal space, equipment xnd siaff. This impact is mitigated by the collection of impact fees. 1fie District appreciates the opportunity to comment on this proposed development.

This approvai also created a new "Citywide Pedestrian Improvements Project" and authorized City staff to create a prioritization (ocation list to install additional RRFB's utilizing this projecYs funding. Staff has identified and evaivated criteria to create a prioritization location list considering pedestrian safety and mobility. Criteria and weight were given to detertnine existing and potential locations in which pedestrian crossings are most likely to occur in addition to iocations where RRFB's would be needed to provide for pedestrian safety. The intention of the Citywide Pedestrian [mprovements Program is to provide safety for pedestrians. Pedestrian coilision history shows where past col(isions have occurred and where a need for further safety measures exists. As such, documented pedestrian coilision history is a critical component of the prioritization criteria and thus has been weighted on a scale double that of the other criteria. 9-Year Pedestrian Point Collision History Scale Total Fatal 0 - - 1 1 - 2 2 - 3 3 - 4 4 1 5 5 - 6 6+ 2+ Existing roadway, traffic and crosswalk location criteria were developed. Locations with greater crossing distances and higher traffic volumes were scored higher as such conditions determine a higher need for pedestrian safety features. Locations where the roadway cross-section is greater than 79 feet were not considered for placement of mid-block pedestrian crossings. These locations consist exctusively of cross- sections with HOV lanes. T'he pedestrian crossing distance at such locations is too great to conclude that an RRFB system would provide for adequate pedestrian safety. Distance to the nearest marked pedestrian crosswalk determines if alternate pedestrian crossings are avaiiable in the vicinity and thus, the likelihood that a new or improved crosswalk would generate more pedestrian traffic. i46 Roadwa & Traffic Crosswalks Point Roadway Distance to Scale Crossing Average Daily Nearest {ft) Width (ft) Traffic (ADT/Lane) Existing Marked ** Crosswaik 0 0- 24 0- 1499 0- 299 0.5 25 - 34 1500 - 2499 300 - 599 1 35 - 44 2500 - 3499 600 - 899 1.5 45 - 54 3500 - 4499 900 - 1199 2 55 - 64 4500 - 5499 1200 - 1499 2.5 65 - 74 5500 - 6499 1500 - 1799 3 75 - 79 6500+ 1800+ Criteria were established to determine locations in which pedestrians were likely to use a marked crosswalk as well as tocations which tend to be utilized by more vu(nerable pedestrians. These criteria included frontage to schools or the presence of safe walking routes to schools. Safe walking routes are designated by school districts for Elementary Schools and Middle Schools. Feasible wallcing routes for High Schoois were also considered. Separation of tand uses by a roadway was considered based upon land uses which would tend to attract more pedestrians. Point School Frontage or parks, Recreation & Libraries Roadway SeparaNng Scale Safe Walking Routes Land Uses 0 - - - 0.5 Qotential High School Private Indoor Recreational Facilities & Single Family Walkin Route Private Outdoor < 25 acres Residentiai Onl t High School Frontage FW Open Space < 25 acres & Private Muiti-Family Outdoor Recreation > 25 acres Residential 1.5 Middle School Walking FW Open Space > 25 acres & State Single Family from Route Parks/Lands CommerciaUOffice 2 Middle School Dumas Bay Center, Senior Center, KC CommerciaUOffice from Fronta e A uatic Center & We erhaeuser Trails CommerciaUOffice Designated Elementary Multi-Family from 2'S School Safe Route FW Neighborhood Parks CommerciaVOffice Elementary School FW Community Parks, FW Designated 3 Frontage Traiis, FW Community Center & KC City Center Area Libraries Existing Transit Ridership Data for Bus Stops in the icnmediate vicinity along with nearby bus stops were considered as riders are likely to cross the roadway to get to/from a stop. King County Metro dces not collect data for Dial a Ride Transit (DART) stops thus daily ridership assumptions were made for these stop locations. Cost feasibility was also considered based upon preliminary estimates for complete location costs which include number of RRFB's needed, median island and curb ramp construction, lighting needs, etc. 147 An additionai 1.5 points were given to tocations where desired countermeasures would address vehicular safety issues. Countermeasures included restriping to provide two-way teft turn lanes, designated bus stops or right turn lanes and addition of o-curb to restrict vehicular movements which have already been restricted via signage. Based upon this criteria weighting system, a prioritized location list has been created. Existing locations with pedestrian crossing treatments were also analyzed to check the validity of the criteria, however previously implemented safety measures have reduced safety concerns as demonstrated in the eight year pedestrian accident history. A totai of 12 criteria were evaluated for a total score of 40.5 points possible. The following is a priority location list of the highest ranking twenty five (25) existing, future and potential locations with subsequent point totals. Over fifty pedestrian crosswalk locations were evaluated including those with existing midblock crossings, locations where past pedestrian accidents have occurred and locations where citizens have in the past expressed a desire for a mid-biock pedestrian crosswalk. Some potential locations were immediately dismissed as sight distance requirements were not adequately met or the roadway cross section was too great to provide for desired pedestrian safety and thus forty six (46) locations were rated. Existing locations with pedestrian crosswalk flashing beacon systems of various designs are highlighted but are not proposed for further upgrades at this time. 148 Priority Proposed Reference Location � Existing System Number Installation Street Points 1 S 324 ST 17 AV S (225' East) 9 9.5 RRFB 2 S 324 ST Beimor Park (West Leg) 'i9A RRFB 3 21 AV SW SW 338 ST (165' South) 1g.5 Pushbutton Activated Beacon 4 S 320 ST Library & 10 AV S Between 17.5 5 SW Campus DR 17 AV SW (175' East) �7.fl Pushbutton Activated Beacon 5 S 317 ST 25 PL S (East l) 17A 7 SW 320 ST 10 PL SW (200' East) 16S 8 1 WY S 1 PL S (North �eg) 16A Pushbutton Activated Beacon 8 Military RD S S 286 PL (South Leg) 16.0 8 S 348 ST 6 AV S (120' East) 16.0 8 SW 320 ST 14 WY SW & 13 AV SW Between 16.0 12 SW 312 ST 14 AV SW (West Leg) 15.5 Pushbutton Activated Beacon 13 11 PL S S 322 PL (400' North) 15.0 13 SW 336 ST 26 PL SW (East Leg) 15.0 13 SW 312 ST 8 AV SW (West Leg) 15.0 • 16 S 304 ST 16 AV S (West Leg) 14.5 16 SW 330 ST West Campus Trai! 14.5 Pushbutton Activated Beacon 16 S 288 Si' Camelot DR (200' East) 14.5 19 S 308 ST 14 AV S {West Leg) 14.0 19 S 312 ST Steel Lake Pa�ic 14A 19 S Star Lake RD 25 DR S/Mark Twain (North Leg) 14.0 22 20 AV S S 320 ST (575' North) 13.0 22 SW 320 ST SW 323 ST (500' East) 93.0 22 1 WY S S 340 ST (North Leg) 13.0 25 Weyerh Suser WY S 344 ST (600' South) 12.5 25 1 AV S S 308 ST (South Leg) 12.5 Constant Beacon 25 SW 320 ST 18 AV SW (200' East) 12.5 It could be noted that the placement of a marked crosswalk at one tocation may subsequently lower the scoring of other nearby locations.

Attach� is the June 20, 2005 memo, outlining the issue and alternatives ccNtsidered- To swamarize, one fatal pedestrian collision occurred in 2005, pcompting Belraor Park resideats to petition the Ca�ncil to install additional street lighting, flashing amber beacons with updated viiarning si$ns, and a traff� s�8na1 iacluding pedestrian actuation. Staff reviewed coliision history and vehicular and pedestrian volume data in proposing the rec�mmended actions, which included the installatioa of improved street lighting, replacement of handicapped watning signs with f�uorescent yeliow gre� padestrian v�+arning signs, restriping S 324� Street from l7 Avenue S to 23` Avenue S to replace the inside eastbound lane with a two-way teft-tum lane, and the installation of a pedestrian refuge isiand. Couticil approved the staffrecommendation on July t9, 2005, and the improvements wer�e instaHed by d�e end of 2005. In addition, Police instailed a speed reader board on S 324'' Strcet eastbouftd appcaaching the Belma� Park entrance. Collision history since this instailation has been r�edaced by SD'/o. ComQaring the coliision history of the segment of S 324`� Stre� beiween 17'�' Avenne S and 23" Avenue S fcom three years pria to �nstaliation (2002-2004) to three years fotlowing instailation {2006-2008), the number of reported collisions d�ped from eight to four. Although no further action appears warranted at tfiis time, both the Belmor Park and 17 Av�ue S pedestrian crossings were note� as potentiat future locations for the itatatlation of Rectangular Rapid Ftashing Beacons. Staff wit! provide an analysis of our piiot project at BPA Trail at S W 356'" Street for these devices in early 20 t0, once 2049 collision ttata has. been processed. Attachmen� i.
