A. 1st Avenue South Shoulder Widening 30% Design Status Report – This project reconstructs a
shoulder and asphalt curb along 1st Avenue South between South 356th Street and South 361st Street near
Illahee Junior High School. The purpose of the project is to improve pedestrian safety (specifically school
children) along this stretch of roadway. Due to the size and type of project and in an effort to take advantage
of efficiencies, staff is requesting that this project be incorporated into the 2002 Asphalt Overlay Project. A
citizen and the Federal Way School District requested this project. The Committee m/s/c the staff
recommendation to the City Council to: 1) authorize staff to finalize the design of the 1st Avenue South
Shoulder Improvements (S 356th Street to S 361st Street) Project, and 2) bid this project as a schedule in the
2002 Asphalt Overlay Project.
B. Planning Commission 2002 Work Plan – Each year the City Council is asked to review and prioritize
the Planning Commission Work Program for the coming year. Because the City Council requested staff to
review the permit process, new amendment proposals may arise and the Work Program may come back to
the Committee. City staff is currently working on the following items from the 2001 Planning Commission
Work Program: development agreements, group homes code amendment, Potential Annexation Area
Study, large retail in the City Center code amendment, residential nonconformances code amendment, and
traffic impact fees. In addition, City staff has not started work on the following items from the 2001 Work
Program: wellhead protection code amendment, planned action SEPA for the City Center, miscellaneous
code amendments, Endangered Species Act (ESA), and 2002 Comprehensive Plan updates. New items
proposed for the 2002 Work Program are: home occupation requirements, day care code amendment,
parking the City Center code amendment, gas stations in the City Center Frame code amendment, land
surface modifications code amendment, process for development agreements, and other code amendments
as a result of the review of the permit process. The Committee agreed that the 2002 Comprehensive Plan
update and the permit process review are two top priorities. In order to help with the Committee’s decision,
they instructed Director of Community Development Services Kathy McClung to bring back a prioritized list
of the items in a calendar format to next week’s meeting, taking into consideration staff resources and which
items are small-term and which are large-term projects.
5. FUTURE MEETINGS
