3. PUBLIC COMMENT
Beverly Klm, representing FUSION, spoke. FUSION is an all-volunteer organization that provides transitional
housing for homeless women and children and is included under the Federal Way Caregiving Network 501(c)(3)
non-profit umbrella. FUSION has located another condominium to purchase and the condo is available
immediately. The problem is that the condominium is located less than 1000 feet from another unit also owned by
FUSION. The Federal Way City Code (FWCC) states that 1000 feet must separate such housing units. FUSION
has received CDBG grants in the past, currently works with the YVVCA to locate those families most in need, has
served over 90 Federal Way residents and is proud that there have never been any significant problems in any of
the FUSION-owned residences. Ms. Klm requested that the City consider a code change or a variance to the
existing code to allow for occupancy of this condominium by a family in transition.
4. BUSINESS ITEMS
A. TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE SCOPE OF WORK - The Federal Way Comprehensive Plan Policy TP85 called
for the implementation of a Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) system to better assure consistency with concurrency
requirements of the Growth Management Act (GMA) and provide a fairer and more consistent manner of mitigating
the impacts of new development. The adopted budget for 2001-2002 includes $40,000 to hire a consultant to
develop a Traffic Impact Fee system.
Staff has selected Mirai Associates as a consultant. Staff proposes to use a Project Management Team consisting
of staff from Public Works, Community Development, and Law Departments, Chamber of Commerce
representatives, and possible Council members to provide policy direction to Mirai Associates. Completion of work
is proposed for adoption by ordinance in April 2002.
The Committee discussed that the TIF would save a lot of time for both developers and staff as would the Planned
Action SEPA, scheduled to begin soon. The members asked to review what other cities do before recommending
passage of the TIF to the City Council. No further action was necessary at this time.
B. SR991SOUTH 320TM STREET INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FINAL ACCEPTANCE - The
Committee recommended that the Council accept as complete at their September 4, 2001, meeting the south 320th
Street at SR99 Signal and Intersection Improvements Project. Such action authorizes staff to release retainage to
R. W. Scott Construction Company. The final construction contract amount was $2,493,005.16, which is
$149,499.99 below the $2,642,505.15 (including contingency) budget that was approved by the City council on July
5, 2000. The Committee commented that it was difficult to see the water in the decorative fountain and
recommended at some later date that something be added so passers-by were more aware that the structure was a
fountain. They extended congratulations to the Public Works Streets staff for a job well done.
C WRIA #9 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT AMENDMENT - The City of Federal Way approved an Interlocal
Agreement (II_A) for inclusion in long range planning efforts for Watershed Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) #9, the
Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound drainages. The governing body, the Forum, consisting of elected
officials from the sixteen participating jurisdictions is requesting changes be made to the ILA. Those changes would
include 1) the addition of the City of Tacoma as a party to the Agreement, 2) the increase in members of the WRIA
#9 Forum Management Committee from five to seven members, 3) allowance for each party to name an alternate
elected official or a senior staff member representative as an alternate to the Forum, and 4) to provide additional
financial consideration from King County to allow for the addition of Vashon/Maury Island to the WRIA ~9
(previously a member of WRIA #15) Forum activities and planning efforts. The Committee discussed then moved
approval to the City Council at the September 4, 2001, City Council meeting.
D. SR18/SR161/I-5 TRIANGLE STUDY - The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is
managing a study to determine short and long-term solutions to congestion and safety issues in the vicinity of the
I-5/SR18/SR161 interchange. The final scope was successfully negotiated without significant revisions between
WSDOT and the consultant team. The minor revisions were presented in writing and discussed by the Committee.
In order to complete the contemplated scope, WSDOT increased its funding of the study by $50,000 to $300,000.
The City Council approved $50,000 towards this study on December 5, 2000, King County contributed $20,000 and
the City of Milton contributed $5,000. The Committee forwarded recommendation to the City Council that the City
Manager be authorized to execute the agreement with WSDOT to participate in the Triangle Study. The Council
will review the agreement at its September 4, 2001, meeting.
E. COMMUTE TRIP REDUCTION INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT -WashinGton State's Commute Trip
Reduction Law requires that all major employers, both public and private, who employ one hundred or more full-
time employees scheduled to arrive at a single worksite between 6:00 and 9:00 a.m., develop and implement a
Commute Trip Reduction Plan. Historically, WSDOT has provided funding through counties, which then distributes
funding to cities with affected worksites via Interlocal Agreements. In the future, WSDOT will be contracting directly
with cities. The City of Federal Way will continue to contract for services with King County. The City's pro-rata
share of the State CTR Grant Allocation amounts to $23,079 for the 2001 and 2002 fiscal years. King County Metro
had no further changes to the Professional Services Agreement which will provide $31,203 to the City of Federal
Way for CTR support. The Committee m/s/c a do pass recommendation to the City Council at the September 4,
2001, meeting.
ii!
OTH E R
Deputy Mayor Kochmar mentioned that FUSION was an all-vQ!unte~r Organization that accomplished wonderful
things here in the City of Federal Way in their fundraisin9 effo~$ and returning resources to the community. She
questioned what would happen if FUSION were ever disbanded. She requb~ted a future report to the
Parks/Recreation/Human Services/Public Safety Committee and additionally requested that a copy of the report be
distributed to all Council members.
The Committee questioned at which future meeting the topic of large-sized buildings would be considered. Staff
reported that, having no quorum at the last Planning Commission meeting, site-specific requests could not be
considered and would be discussed at the September 19, 2001, meeting. The issue would then be ready for
consideration by the Land Use Transportation Committee as early at October 2, 2001.
FUTURE MEETINGS
The next meeting will be held in Council Chambers at 5:30 pm on September 17, 2001.

Tax Exemption Program for Multifamily Development
BACKGROUND
State Legislation
In 1995 the Washington State Legislature enacted RCW 84.14.005 that authorizes local
governments to allow a property tax exemption for ten years to those who rehabilitate,
convert, or build new housing units in designated urban centers to encourage the
development of additional multifamily housing. This program is designed to make
housing projects more appealing to investors by freeing up capital and reducing operating
costs. The original provisions were only applicable to cities of greater than 150,000
inhabitants or to the largest city in each county, irrespective of its population. In Spring
of 2001 the Legislature amended the law to include municipalities of greater than 50,000
inhabitants, thanks in part to the lobbying efforts of the City of Federal Way and other
affected cities around the State.
The law allows other financing sources, such as the Washington State Housing Trust
Fund and the Washington State Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, to be used with this
program. All projects must meet the requirements of the land use and building permit
processes, as well as any other specific requirements a municipality may wish to impose.
"Urban centers," as~defined in the state enabling legislation are those areas meeting the
following provisions:
Multifamily Tax Exemption Ordinance
Page 2 of 4
"...a compact identifiable district where urban residents may obtain a variety of
products and services. An urban center must contain:
(a)
(b)
(c)
several existing or previous, or both, business establishments that may
include but are not limited to shops, offices, banks, restaurants,
governmental agencies;
adequate public facilities including streets, sidewalks, lighting, transit,
domestic water, and sanitary sewer systems; and
a mixture of uses and activities that may include housing, recreation, and
cultural activities in association with either commercial or office, or both,
use.
Although the City of Federal Comprehensive Plan designates only the City Center Core
as an "urban center," the entirety of the larger City Center area, including the City Center
Frame, qualifies for an "urban center" designation, pursuant to this particular tax
exemption legislation. Therefore, this proposed ordinance defines the "urban center" as
both the City Center Core and Frame zones. In addition, if an area qualifies as an "urban
center" under these provisions, the qualifying municipalities may designate "residential
targeted" areas in said urban centers for the purposes of tax exemption for multifamily
housing.
Other Municipalities' Participation
Since 1995 several cities have availed themselves of this legislation, starting with the
City of Tacoma that pioneered the program. That city acted immediately after the
December 1995 State Legislature action and adopted its program in early 1996, including
designation of 14 residential targeted areas throughout the city. Since that time 28
projects have been approved for participation in the program, totaling approximately
1600 units in Tacoma's Downtown and neighborhoods.
The City of Seattle followed suit, with its ordinance approved in 1998 and the
designation of 11 residential targeted areas. Since that time 13 development projects
have been approved for participation in the program, for a total of 284 dwelling units.
The City of Spokane enacted its program in Spring of this year, with one residential
targeted area encompassing the downtown and near-downtown areas to the north and
west. Only one project has yet participated.
Of the smaller cities, yet largest in their counties, the City of Bellingham enacted its
program in the downtown area in 1999 and has approved two projects for a total of 66
units and its City Council is considering a new project this month for 24 additional units.
The Cities of Olympia, Everett and Vancouver enacted their ordinance in 1998. Several
multifamily projects have been approved among those cities.
This year, with the Legislature's change to allow other cities of greater than 50,000
population to participate in this program, two additional mid-size municipalities have
Multifamily Tax Exemption Ordinance
Page 3 of 4
added such ordinances, including the cities of Renton and Kent in King County. The
Renton City Council just adopted its ordinance earlier this month and expects that two
new multifamily projects in the downtown area will take advantage of its provisions.
Examples of Tax Savings
Two projects approved in Seattle, but calculated at Federal Way property tax rates
($13.04 per $1000 improvement value; City portion = $1.41 per 1000), can be used as
examples of the tax savings that could be available to encourage multifamily
developments in the City Center.
Example # 1
65-unit project, improvement value $6,800,000 =
$88,672 yearly tax savings
($9,588 City portion)
Example #2
76-unit project, improvement value $5,750,000 =
$74,980 yearly tax savings
($8107.50 City portion)
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS
In accordance with the State enabling statute (RCW 84.14.005), the proposed property
tax exemption program for multifamily housing is intended to stimulate new multifamily
construction, and community and economic development in Federal Way's City Center,
furthering the City Center Vision in the Comprehensive Plan and the State Growth
Management Act.
When a program is approved under this program, the value (as determined by the King
County Assessor) of eligible multifamily housing improvements in exempted from
property taxes for ten years, starting January 1st of the year following issuance by the City
of the final certificate of tax exemption. Land, existing improvements and nonresidential
improvements are not exempt. The tax exemption is transferable to new property
owners.
To be granted the exemption, a property owner must apply to the City of Federal Way
Department of Community Development Services. Generally, projects must be:
· Located in the City Center Core and City Center Frame zones; and
* A multifamily or mixed-use project with four (4) or more housing units;
Projects must comply with all zoning, land use and building codes and any other
regulations in effect at the time of construction.
Multifamily Tax Exemption Ordinance
Page 4 of 4
The property owner must enter in to a contractual agreement with the City regarding the
terms and conditions of project approval, including timing of construction and any other
permitting requirements. Generally projects must be completed within three (3) years of
the exemption being granted, although provisions for extension of that time limit are
proposed. Additionally the owner must submit an annual report and certification of
compliance with the terms of the contract and with other program requirements.
Property owners who fail to comply with the contractual obligations mentioned above
may have their tax exemption certificate revoked and would owe taxes, interest and
penalties, per State law.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests the Committee recommend to the City Council passage of the resolution of
intent to designate a "residential target area" and approval of the proposed tax exemption
ordinance and designation of the City Center Core and City Center Frame zone as a
"residential targeted area," as depicted on Exhibit 1.

Federal Way Public Schools 2001/2002 Capital Facilities Plan~School Impact Fee
The City has received the Federal Way Public School's (District's) 2001/2002 .Capital Facilities
Plan with the proposed school impact fees for the City's annual review and adoption.
The new fees, to be effective January 1, 2002 are $2,616 per single-family dwelling unit and
$896 per multi-family dwelling unit. This is a $94, or 3.5%, reduction from the $2,710 single-
family rate, and $66, or 8.0%, increase from the $830 multi-family rate from the 2001 level.
The variables goes into the School Impact Fee calculation are the District's facility needs; the
typical construction costs for the needed schools; and the Student Generation Factor of single
and multi-family units developed in the past 5 years; the amount of state match; and any voter
approved property taxes for construction. All these factors have changed minimally since last
year, resulting in the small fee adjustment.
Attachments: 1. Federal Way School District 2000 Schedule of Expenditures showing items funded with
impact fees collected.
2. Federal Way School District 2001/2002 Capital Facilities Plan.
Committee Recommendation:
Forward the draft Federal Way School District 2001/2002 Capital Facilities Plan and proposed

FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2001/02 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
INTRODUCTION
In response to the requirements of the State of Washington Growth Management Act
(SHB 2929 (1990) and ESHB 1025 (1991)), and under the School Impact Fee Ordinances
of King County Code 2lA, City of Federal Way Ordinance No. 95-249 effective
December 21, 1995 as amended, and the City of Kent Ordinance No. 3260 effective
March 1996, Federal Way Public Schools has updated its 1999/00 Capital Facilities Plan
as of May 2001.
This Plan has 'been adopted by King County, the City of Kent and the City of Federal Way
and is incorporated in the Comprehensive Plans of each jurisdiction by reference. This
plan is also included in the Facilities Plan element of the Comprehensive Plans of each
jurisdiction. To date, the City of Des Moines has not adopted a school impact fee
ordinance.
The Growth Management Act requires the County to designate Urban Growth areas within
which urban growth can be encouraged. The Growth Management Planning Council
adopted and recommended to the King County Council four Urban Growth Area Line
Maps with designations for urban centers. A designation was made within the Federal
Way planning area, which encompasses Federal Way Public Schools boundaries. King
County will encourage and actively support the development of Urban Centers to meet the
region's need for housing, jobs, services, culture and recreation. This Plan's estimated
population growth is prepared with this underlying assumption.
This Capital Facilities Plan will be used as documentation for any jurisdiction, which
requires its use to meet the needs of the Growth Management Act. This plan is not
intended to be the sole planning tool for all of the District needs. The District may prepare
interim plans consistent with Board policies. Additional plans will be consistent with the
six year Capital Facilities Plan.

FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2001/02 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
INTRODUCTION (continued)
On October 12, 1998 the Board of Education approved a recommendation to move to a
Pre K-5 elementary, 6-8 middle school, and 9-12 high school grade configuration
beginning in the fall of 2003 or as additional high school space allows. This grade
configuration is believed to be more responsive to student needs. It will allow for smaller
elementary enrollments with room for lower primary class sizes. The middle school
allows two-year preparation for the WA State 7t~ grade test, matches the Federal Way
Public Schools 8th grade gateway test, and matches most western Washington districts.
Middle schools are also thought to be a better way to address the needs of adolescents in a
period of transition from elementary to school to high school. The four-year high school
plan combines the 9-12 ~aduation credit system, allows two-year preparation for the l0th
grade test, and physically places the high school students together.
Federal Way Public Schools must meet the needs of a growing student and community
population. The District must be flexible with building, programs and staffing to meet the
needs of the 21st Century, while being financially responsible and sensitive to the current
tax rates. A flexible, cost effective and educationally beneficial approach that integrates
academics and high tech/high skill preparation is needed. By extending the existing debt
and creatively using new and existing facilities, the District can meet these complex needs
with no increase, on average, in local tax rates.
Federal Way citizens approved a bond proposal of $83 million in September 1999. This
bond will provide for a comprehensive high school ($44 million); a middle school ($17
million); expansion and improvement of existing schools ($9 million); replacement of
Truman High School ($6 million) and other general improvements ($7 million).
Additional planned improvements included in the bond proposal are: parking and
pedestrian safety, playgrounds and sports fields, new classroom start-up and music
equipment, information systems and networks and emergency communications.
Planned opening for the new high school is September 2003. Truman High School will
open in the same year. There is a study in progress to determine if the new high school
will open with all grade levels or if seniors will have an option to stay at the current high
school for the 2003/04 school year. This proposal will affect capacity at the existing three
high schools. If recommended, this capacity change will be reflected in the Capital
Facilities Plan for the 2003/04 school year.
Federal Way Public Schools opened the Internet Academy in the 1996/97 school year.
This program currently serves approximately 577 students, 441 are full-time students.
Internet Academy has grown from about 60 students to the current 577 in four years. The
forecast for this school has been reduced from previous projections, as historical growth
has not been a reliable tool to forecast this enrollment. A conservative projection using
current numbers is included in this Plan.
Internet Academy i~' currently operating out of leased space consisting of administrative
areas and a computer lab area. This capacity is not included in the analysis of instructional
spaces. The facility needs are unique to a program of "distance learners".
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2001/02 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
Federal Way Public Academy opened in the 1999/00 school year in six portables on the
Illahee Junior High site. Two additional portables were added for opening the 2000/01
school year to expand the program to include ninth grade students. The school served 180
seventh, eight and ninth grade students this year and will serve 180 - 210 students in
grades seven, eight and nine in the 2001/2002 school year.

SECTION 2 - MAPS OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
Federal Way Public Schools (the District) has twenty-three elementary schools (grades K-6),
seven junior high schools (grades 7-9), three senior high schools (grades 10-12) and two
alternative schools (grades 7-12) for the 1999/00 school year. The Intemet Academy serves
grades K-12. On April 20, 1996, the Federal Way Public Schools Board of Education adopted
the boundaries for these schools. In May 1999, minor adjustments to elementary boundaries
were adopted. The following maps show the service area boundaries for each school for each
grade level (Harry S. Truman High School, Merit School, Internet Academy and Federal Way
Public Academy serve students from throughout the District). The identified boundaries are
reviewed annually. Any change in grade configuration or adoption of programs which affect
school populations may necessitate a change in school service areas.
The Growth Management Act requires that a jurisdiction evaluate if the public facility
infrastructure is in place to handle new housing developments. In the case of most public
facilities, new development has its major impact on the facilities immediately adjacent to that
development. School Districts are different. If the District does not have permanent facilities
available, interim measures must be taken until new facilities can be built or until boundaries can
be adjusted to match the population changes to the surrounding facilities.
Adjusting boundaries requires careful consideration by the District and is not taken lightly. It is
recognized that there is a potential impact on students who are required to change schools.
Boundary adjustments impact the whole district, not just one school.
It is important to realize that a single housing development does not require the construction of a
complete school facility. School districts are required to project growth throughout the district
and build or adjust boundaries based on growth throughout the district, not just around a single
development.

Building Capacities
This Capital Facilities Plan establishes the District's "standard of service" in order to
ascertain the District's current and future capacity. The Superintendent of Public Instruction
establishes square footage guidelines for capacity, but these guidelines do not take into
consideration the education program needs. The District has identified a Building Program
Capacity for each of the schools in the District. This Full Time Equivalent (FrE) capacity is
based on:
The number of classrooms available in each school
Any special requirements at each school
The contracted class load by grade level
In general, the District's current standard provides that the average class size for a standard
classroom for grade K is 24 students, for grades 1-6 is 26 students and grades 7-12 is 25
students. Gate (Gifted and Talented Education) classrooms are 25 students, individual
education programs classrooms are 15 students, and special education classrooms are 12
students. This size is determined based upon current ratios and trends as well as the physical
size of the classroom. Educational Program Capacities change every year. This analysis is
for the 2000/01 school year. The capacity of an individual school could and does change at
any time depending on pro,am changes which may require additional space.
Capacity is affected by changes in class size. The Federal Way School District has expressed
a goal of reducing class size. Discussion on the exact target classes size is ongoing. The
Board of Education has adopted a recommendation to reduce class size for grades K through
grade 2 to a 20:1 ratio. This grade level reduction will be addressed in the Capital Facilities
Plan for 2002/03.

Elementary pro,am capacities are based on the number of teaching stations
in the building, contracted class size, and special use classrooms in place
during the 99/00 school year. All available instructional space is calculated.
Secondary program capacities are based on peak loading.
The calculation is based on 25 students per available
teaching stations.
Capacities were calculated by the Study and Survey Committee and amended for changes in instructional pro.ams

FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2001102 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
Portable Locations
The Washington State Constitution requires the State to provide each student a basic
education. It is not efficient use of District resources to build a school with a capacity for
500 students due to lack of space for 25 students when enrollment fluctuates throughout the
year and from year to year.
Portables are used as temporary facilities or interim measures to house students until
permanent facilities can be built or boundary adjustments can be made. When permanent
facilities become available, the portable(s) is either moved to another school for an interim
classroom, or used for other purposes such as storage or child care pro.ams. Some portables
may not be fit to move due to age or physical condition. In these cases, the District may
choose to buy new portables and surplus these unfit portables. It is the practice and
philosophy of Federal Way Public Schools that portables are not acceptable as permanent
facilities.
The following page provides a list of the location of the portable facilities, used for temporary
educational facilities by Federal Way Public Schools.

Student Forecast
Student enrollment projections are a basic component of budget development. Enrollment
projections influence many of the financial estimates that go into budget preparation. The
majority of staffing requirements are derived directly from the forecasted number of students.
Allocations for instructional supplies and materials are also made on the basis of projected
enrollment. Other expenditures and certain revenue projections are directly related to
enrollment projections.
Enrollment projections are completed annually in the Business Services Department.
Projections must be detailed at various levels, district total, school-building totals, grade level
and program level to include vocational and special education students.
The basis of projections has been cohort survival analysis. Cohort survival is the analysis of
a group that has a common statistical value (grade level) as it progresses through time. In a
stable population the cohort would be 1.00 for all grades. This analysis uses historical
information to develop averages and project the averages forward. This method does not
trace individual students; it is concerned with aggregate numbers in each grade level. The
district has used this method with varying years of history and weighted factors to study
several projections. Because transfers in and out of the school system are common, student
migration is factored into the analysis as it increases or decreases survival rates. Entry grades
(kindergarten) are a unique problem in cohort analysis. The district collects information on
birth rates within the district's census tracts, and treats these statistics as a cohort for
kindergarten enrollment in the appropriate years.
The Federal Way School District is using various statistical methods for projecting student
enrollments. The resultant forecasted enrollments are evaluated below.
The first method is a statistical cohort analysis that produces ten distinct forecasts. These are
forecast of enrollment for one year. The projections vary depending on the number of years
of historical information and how they are weighted.
A second method is a projection using an enrollment projection software package that allows
the user to project independently at school or grade level and to aggregate these projections
for the district level. The Enrollment MasterTM software provides statistical methods
including trend line, standard grade progression (cohort) and combinations of these methods.
This software produces a five-year projection of school enrollment.
Short-term budget projections may be more conservative than the standard grade progression
model. For the 2001/02 school year, the district chose the Enrollment MasterTM projection
using standard grade progression model. Standard grade progression is a reasonably accurate
method for the near_term future when the near future looks 'much like the near past.
16
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2001/02 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
Long range projections that establish the need for facilities are a modification of the cohort
survival method. The cohort method of analysis becomes less reliable the farther out the
projections are made. The Federal Way School District long-range projections are studied
annually. The study includes information from the jurisdictional demo~aphers as they
project future housing and population in the region. The long-range projections used by
Federal Way Public Schools reflect a similar age trend in student populations as the
projections published by the Office of Financial Management for the State of Washington.
Growth Management requires jurisdictions to plan for a minimum of twenty years. The
Federal Way School District is a panner in this planning with the various jurisdictions
comprising the school district geography. These projections create a vision of the school
district in the future.

Capacity Summaries
All Grades, Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High Schools
The Capacity Summaries combine Building Capacity information and the Student Forecast
information. The result demonstrates the requirements for new or remodeled facilities and
why there is a need for the District to use temporary facilitieS or interim measures.
The information is organized in spreadsheet format, with a page summarizing the entire
District, and then evaluating capacity vs. number of students at elementary, junior high, and
senior high levels individually.
The notes at the bottom of each spreadsheet provide information about what facilities are in
place each year.

FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2001/02 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
King County, the City of Federal Way, and the City of Kent Impact Fee Calculations
Single and Multi-Family Residences
Each jurisdiction that imposes school impact fees requires that developers pay these fees to
help cover a share of the impact of new housing developments on school facilities.
To determine an equitable fee throughout unincorporated King County, a formula was
established. This formula can be found in King County Code 2lA and was substantially
adopted by the City of Federal Way and Kent. The formula requires the District to establish a
"Student Generation Factor" which estimates how many students will be added to a school
district by each new single or multi-family unit and to gather some standard construction
costs, which are unique to that district.
- STUDENT GENERATION FACTOR ANALYSIS
Federal Way Public Schools student generation factor was determined separately for single
family units and multi-family units. The factors used in the 2001/02 Capital Facilities Plan
were derived using actual generation factors from single family units and multi-family units,
which were constructed in the last five (5) years.
- IMPACT FEE CALCULATION
Following the calculations for the student generation factor is a copy of the Impact Fee
Calculation for single family and multi-family units based on King County Code 2lA and the
Growth Management Act.
Temporary Facility Cost is the average cost of a portable purchased within the last 12
months.
Site Acquisition Costs is the per acre cost of the last school site purchased (site 85); this
is a negotiated purchase price.

SECTION 4
SUMMARY OF CHANGES FROM THE 2000/01 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
The 2001/02 Capital Facilities Plan is an updated document, based on the 1999/00 Capital
Facilities Plan. The changes between the 1999/00 Plan and the 2001/02 Plan are listed
below.
OVERALL PLAN NAME CHANGE
This Capital Facilities Plan is designated as the 2001/02 Capital Facilities Plan to align with
the naming conventions of other King County School Districts. Federal Way practice had
been to name the plan for the school year in which it was adopted. The name is now changed
to reflect the year in which the fees will go into effect.
SECTION I - THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
INVENTORY OF EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES
Leased facilities now include ECEAP offices. The Security Department has been re-located
to the Administration Building.
INVENTORY OF UNDEVELOPED PROPERTY
Site 85 is added to inventory - purchased site for the new senior high school.
Site 9 is removed from the inventory, this site has been sold.
SIX YEAR FINANCE PLAN
The Six Year Finance Plan has been rolled forward to reflect 2001/2006
27
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2001/02 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
SECTION I1/- SUPPORT DOCUMENTATION
CAPACITY
The average capacity of senior high schools is increased from 1311 to 1372. This change is a
result of analysis of current building use and programs in place for the 2000/01 school year.
Building Program Capacities are found on page 13.
PORTABLES
The list of portables reflects the movement of portables between facilities or new portables
purchased. Portable Locations can be found on page 15.
STUDENT FORECAST
The Student Forecast now covers 2001 through 2006. The new forecast reflects a decreased
rate of growth. Enrollment History and Projections are found on page 18.
CAPACITY SUMMARY
The changes in the Capacity Summary are a reflection of the changes in the capacities and
student forecast. New schools and increased capacity at current buildings are shown as
increases to capacity. Capacity Summaries are found on pages 20-23.
IMPACT FEE CALCULATION - KING COUNTY CODE 2lA
The Impact Fee Calculations have changed due to changes in several factors. The adjustment
made in the Impact Fee Calculation, causing a change in the Impact Fee between the 1999/00
Capital Facilities Plan and the 2001/02 Capital Facilities Plan can be found on page 29.
28
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2001/02 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
IMPACT FEE CALCULATION CHANGES FROM 1999/00 TO 2001/02
STUDENT GENERATION FACTORS
Student Generation factors are based on rates for new developments constructed over a
period of not more than five years prior to the date of the fee calculation. The changes in
student Generation factors between the 1999/00 Capital Facilities Plan and the 2001/02
Capital Facilities Plan are due to developments that were deleted or added based upon the age
of the developments. Student allocation is also changed to reflect the middle school
configuration. The Student General worksheet is found on page 25.

Brigadoon Neighborhood Traffic Safety (NTS) Project
BACKGROUND
Residents in the vicinity of Brigadoon Elementary (35th Ave SW- SW 340th Street to SW 333 Street) have
requested the installation of speed humps in that area based on concerns of high traffic speeds and cut-
through traffic. Currently adopted installation criteria are based on a point system as follows:
Accidents per Year Average Daily.Traffic ' 85th Percentile Speed
· Severity Points (5.year history) ' (two.way total) (mph) ,. ..
0.5 0.3 - 0.5 500- 1100 26 . 29
1.0 0.5- 0.7 1101 - 1700 29.1 -32
1.5 0.7 - 0.9 1701 - 2300 32.1 - 35
2.0 0.9- 1.1 2301 - 2900 35.1 - 38
2.5 1.1 - 1.3 2901 - 3500 38.1 -41
3.0 More than 1.3 More than 3500 More than 41
Installation criteria are met if the total number of severity points is equal to or greater than 3.0.
A traffic study conducted by staff in March 2001 indicated that the total severity score for the subject
location is 5.0 points, which meets the 3.0-point minimum to qualify for speed hump installation.
On May 9, 2001 staff conducted a neighborhood meeting to discuss potential traffic calming alternatives
that might be effective in reducing speed and cut-through traffic within the neighborhood. After
discussion between the neighborhood residents and staff, a consensus was reached to propose the
installation of four (4) speed humps in order to mitigate the identified problems. One of the humps (#2) is
proposed at the location of the existing school crossing and will be wider than the other three to
accommodate a flat 8-foot wide crosswalk on top. In accordance with established NTS policies, staffsent
ballots to property owners and occupants within 600 feet of the proposed speed hump locations and the
following table summarizes the ballot results:
Ballots Returned 19 16 22 27
Yes Votes 17 (89%) 11 (69%) 16 (73%) 19 (70%)
No Votes 2 (11%) 5 (31%) 6 (27%) 8 (30%)
One of the installation criteria requires a 50% majority of the returned ballots. Based on the above table,
all locations met the balloting criteria.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends placing the following items on the October 2, 2001 Council Consent Agenda:
Approval to install four (4) speed humps on 35 Avenue SW between SW 340th Street and SW 333rd
Street.
