V.
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
a.
Storm Water Runoff: The applicant will be required to provide storm drainage
improvements to comply with all applicable Core and Special Requirements outlined
in the King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), including surface
water detention, biofiltration, and oil/water separation. A Level 1 Downstream
Analysis, prepared by Pac-Tech Engineering, dated March, 1996 (Exhibit F) was
submitted to the Department of Community Development Services and reviewed by
the Public Works Department. The preliminary plat is designed to collect storm
water in a detention pond, with release to a water quality biofiltration swale and
conveyance to the north of the site, via a closed conveyance system, to an existing
outfall point in SW 344th Street. See Section IX.c. of this report for a detailed
description of proposed drainage facilities.
b.
Soils: The 1973 USDA Soil Conservation Service (SCS) soil survey for King County
classifies site soils as Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam. The Alderwood Series is
characterized as moderately well drained soils, capable of adequate compaction,
runoff is slow, and erosion hazard is slight. Alderwood soils are not included on the
list of hydric soils prepared by the National Technical Committee on Hydric Soils.
c.
Topoqraphy: The subject property is mostly flat, with an average slope of 3 percent.
The property is currently undeveloped, except for an existing single family residence
that is located on the northerly most parcel (Lot 7).
d.
Vegetation: On site vegetation consists primarily of domestic shrubs and grasses,
alder, blackbeny, and other native species. All natural vegetation shall be retained
on the site except that which will be removed for improvements or grading as
approved in the preliminary plat (FWCC Sec. 20-179) and significant trees shall be
retained or replaced pursuant to Chapter 22, Zoning. The applicant has identified
four (4) significant trees on site, all of which will be lost to required improvements
within the right-of-way. Prior to installation of improvements an approved landscape
plan is required pursuant to Condition #9 of preliminary plat approval (page 12).
e.
Wildlife: Small birds and animals (squirrels, field mice, etc.) are likely to inhabit the
site. No threatened or endangered species are known or suspected to inhabit the
site. Replacement of significant trees as well as incorporation of street trees, buffer
open space, and detention pond landscaping into subdivision design, as proposed
and as required, will help mitigate the introduction of human activities on wildlife
habitat.
f.
Sensitive Areas: King County and City of Federal Way Sensitive Areas Maps do not
reveal the site to be in a problem area relative to landslides, seismic hazards,
erosion, wetlands, streams, or 1 DO-year floodplains.
NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS
The property is situated in the southwest portion of the city, in a single family residential area,
within approximately 100 feet of the Pierce/King County boundary line. All adjacent
properties are developed with single family residences on lots with 7,200 SF or more per
dwelling unit. The site is vacant except for one single family residence located on the easterly
4
V.

VII.
NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS (cont'd)
parcel of the site (Lot 7). No intent to remove the existing residence is indicated with this
application. The existing development contains a detached garage located within five feet
of an adjacent proposed propertly line, which does not conform to required yards as
established by Federal Way City Code (FWCC). Prior to final plat approval this structure
must be removed or relocated to conform to required building setbacks, or lot lines must be
adjusted accordingly. This requirement is addressed as Condition #1 of preliminary plat
approval (page 11).
GENERAL DESIGN
a.
Subdivision Access and Roadway system: Public access to the proposed
subdivision will be provided by a northwesterly extension of SW 346th Place,
terminating in a barricade at Lot 7 to prevent through access to SW 344th Street.
SW 346th Place currently terminates at the westerly boundary of an adjacent
subdivision, Southampton Court. Lot 7 will be accessed from SW 344th Street, over
an existing private access easement on the westerly 30 feet of the abutting property
to the north, and terminating at the barricade. The public street serving Lots 1-6 and
the detention tract will be improved to full-street and half-street standards, as
modified and approved by the City. The private access easement to Lot 7 will be
maintained to fire district standards. The City Public Works Department and the Fire
District have approved the subdivision access and roadway system as modified.
See Section VILa. of this report for a detailed description of proposed street
improvements.
b.
Pedestrian system:
Sidewalks will be provided along all lot frontages except within the temporary cul-de-
sac located in Lots 5 and 6. Specifically, full street improvements include five foot
wide sidewalks on both sides of the southerly portion of the street. Half street
improvements ib the northerly portion of the street will include a five foot wide
sidewalk only on the easterly (developed) side of the street. Currently sidewalks are
located on both sides of SW 346th Place. Federal Way School District has indicated
that bus transportation will be provided to students residing in this subdivision, with
routine adjustments to bus stop locations based on student transportation needs.
c.
Landscape buffers and open space: In accordance with FWCC Chapter 20,
Subdivisions, landscaped buffers are specified only when the plat is adjacent to an
incompatible zoning district. The proposed plat is bordered on all sides by single
family residential zoning, therefore, no formal buffers are required. Street trees,
when mature, and screening of the detention tract, will contribute to visual buffering.
Street tree requirements are described in VILa; open space requirements are
described in Vlll.b., and detention tract screening in IX.c.; below.
TRANSPORTATION
a.
Street Improvements: In accordance with the FWCC, all street improvements must
be dedicated as City right-of-way and improved to full street standards. Specifically,
full street improvements are required for the southerly portion of the street

TRANSPORTATION: Street Improvements (cont'd) '.
extension of SW 346th Place and will include: 28 feet of pavement, vertical curbs,
gutters, sidewalks and street trees, within a 56-foot right-of-way width. This street
section will serve Lots 1 through 4 and a portion of Lot 5 before terminating a
temporary cul-de-sac. North of this point the street section will transition to half
street improvements, as modified and approved by the Public Works Department
(See Exhibit I), and will include: 20 feet of pavement, curb and gutter, with sidewalk
and street trees on the easterly (developed) side only, and continuing to the north
property boundary of Lot 7, within a 30 foot right-of-way. At the applicant's request,
Lot 7 will continue to be accessed from SW 344th Street over an existing private
access easement, and will continue to be addressed to SW 344th. The private
easement will not be a public street and will not be improved to City standards.
However, it will be maintained for emergency access consistent with fire district
standards, Le. unobstructed 20-foot width, 12-foot all weather surface, and vertical
clearance of 13'6". As proposed, the temporary barricade will prohibit through
access from the public street to the private access easement. The temporary cul-
de-sac and barricade will be removed with future street improvements at this location
as required and approved by the City. The City Public Works Department and King
County Fire District 39 have approved roadway improvements, curve radius, cul-de-
sac configuration, access easement and barricade as proposed. Barricade design
must conform to fire district and City standards. Requirements related to the
temporary cul-de-sac and barricade are addressed as Conditions #5 and #6 of
preliminary plat approval (page 12).
Pursuant to plat conditions as previously established for the adjacent subdivision of
Southampton Court, the applicant will be required to relinquish the temporary cul-de-
sac that is currently situated at the southeast boundary of the proposed subdivision
site and to install street improvements at this location as required by the City. This
requirement is addressed as Condition #4 of preliminary plat approval (page 12).
The plat is exempt from street lighting requirements pursuant to FWCC Sec. 22-
1522. However, installation of street lighting will be encouraged in the interest of
safety, security and convenience of subdivision residents.
b.
Adequacy of Local Street: The preliminary plat was reviewed by the City's Traffic
Analyst with respect to any potential traffic impacts and mitigation requirements. It
was determined that the size of the project and existing traffic conditions do not
warrant a traffic impact analysis nor any pro rata share contributions to any off site
improvements.
PUBLIC SERVICES
a.
Schools: As part of the City's review of the proposal, the preliminary plat application
was referred to the Federal Way School District for comments. Comments were
received on October 21, 1996 and included the following information. Under current
District boundaries the proposed subdivision will be served by bus transportation to
Green Gables Elementary School, Saghalie Junior High Schoof and Decatur High
School. School service areas are reviewed annually and may be adjusted to
accommodate enrollment growth and new development.
6
VIII.
a.
PUBLIC SERVICES: Schools (cont'd)
Bus stops for the elementary school are located at 31 st Place SW and SW 346th
Place and at 32nd Avenue SW and SW 344th Street. The bus stop for the junior
high is located at 31 st Court SW and 31 st Place SW, and the bus stop for the high
school is located at 35th Avenue SW and SW 342nd Street. Bus stops may also be
adjusted depending on student transportation needs.
As noted in VILa, above, sidewalks will be provided within the subdivision and will
connect to adjacent existing sidewalks, providing safe accessibility by school age
children to nearby bus stops. School impact fees, as authorized by City ordinance
and collected at the time of building permit issuance, are currently $1,707 per single
family housing unit. Schoo impact fees are determined on the basis of the District's
Capital Facilities Plan and are subject to annual adjustment and update.
b.
Open Space: The nearest City park is Alderdale Park, located at 2700 SW 341 st
Place, approximately one-half mile to the northeast of the site. Other public parks in
the vicinity include Olympic View Park, approximately one mile north of the site;
Crescent Heights Park in Tacoma, approximately one mile west of the site; and Dash
Point State Park, approximately 1.5 miles northwest of the site.
To provide adequate recreational opportunities commensurate with new residential
development, FWCC Chapter 20, Subdivisions, requires subdivisions to dedicate
land on site for open space, or to seek acceptable alternatives under FWCC Sec. 19-
41, Methods of Mitigation. Specifically, FWCC Sec. 20-155(b) requires all
residential subdivisions to provide open space in the amount of "15 percent of the
gross land area of the subdivision site; or if the site is five acres or less in size,
applicants may seek alternative methods of providing the required open space as
permitted by Sec. 19-41 et. seq., if acceptable to the City." In the subject case,
because the site is less than five acres in size (2.09 acres), the applicant is eligible
to seek altemative methods to providing the required open space on site. Sec. 19-
46 provides an opportunity to pay a "fee in lieu of' reservation of all or portions of the
open space area required.
Total open space required for this plat is 13,656 square feet(15% of 91,040).
Pursuant to the above noted code provisions, the applicant proposes to provide a
portion of the required open space on site and fee-in-lieu for the balance of the
required open space. Specifically, the applicant proposes to provide 1,700 square
feet of buffer open space between Lot 6 and the detention tract (2% of the required
13,656 square feet, as permitted by FWCC Sec. 22-155(3), and to meet the balance
of the requirement (13,656-1,700=11,956) by payment of an open space fee. In
accordance with FWCC Sec. 19-46, the exact open space fee will be calculated by
determining the amount of open space which is required times the then-current
market value per square foot of similarly situated property. This requirement is
addressed as condition #3 of preliminary plat approval (page 12).
c.
Fire Protection: A Certificate of Water Availability from the City of Tacoma (Exhibit
G) indicates that water is available to the site in sufficient quantity to satisfy fire flow
standards for the proposed development. Fire protection for Lots 1-6 will be provided
from a fire hydrant located in the approximate center of the subdivision as approved
7

c.
PUBLIC SERVICES: Fire Protection (cont'd)
by the fire district. For Lot 7, which will continue to be addressed to SW 344th
Street, emergency access and fire flow must be made available from SW 344th
Street, as required and approved by the fire district. The preliminary plat drawing
does show a fire hydrant on SW 344th Street. The exact location of this hydrant
must be approved by the fire district. This provision is addressed as conditions #2
of preliminary plat approval (page 11).
Sewage Disposal: The applicant proposes to serve the proposed plat by a public
sewer system managed by Lakehaven Utility District. A Certificate of Sewer
Availability (Exhibit H) dated March 20, 1996, indicates the District's capacity to serve
the proposed development through a Developer Extension Agreement between the
applicant and the District.
Water Supply: The applicant proposes to serve the subdivision with a public water
supply and distribution system managed by the City of Tacoma Public Utilities
Division. A Certificate of Water Availability (Exhibit G) dated March 18, 1996,
indicates the City of Tacoma's capacity to serve the proposed development by an
extension of the existing water main at SW 346th Place. The City of Federal Way
Departments of Community Development and Public Works concur with this
recommendation.
Drainage Facilities: Development of the site will create additional runoff from new
impervious surfaces such as streets, driveways, and rooftops. The proposed storm
drainage system includes on site detention pond, oil/water separators and water
quality biofiltration swale. The detention pond and biofiltration swale will be provided
on a separate drainage tract and dedicated to the City. Storm drainage facilities are
required to be designed in accordance with all applicable requirements under the
King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM).
Additionally, the site is located in the South Lower Puget Sound Sub-Basin, in an
area identified by the Executive Proposed Basin Plan: Hylebos Creek and Lower
Puget Sound, as having downstream conveyance, flooding, erosion, and habitat
problems associated with storm water runoff. Therefore, the applicant must either
analyze those downstream problems and prove appropriate mitigation as approved
by the City; or alternatively, as an option which the applicant has chosen to exercise,
provide mitigation as recommended in the Basin Plan. Specifically, Basin-Wide
Recommendation #BW-2 calls for the use of a 7-day storm event in sizing on site
detention facilities instead of the 24-hour event generally used, when on site
infiltration can not be achieved (as has been demonstrated by the applicant's
technical analysis) and runoff must be discharged off site or stored on site. However,
the 30% safety factor is not required to be used in facility design.
Storm water runoff generated from the site will be routed through on site facilities and
discharged via a closed conveyance system to an existing outfall point at SW 344th
Street. Storm water runoff will be released at a controlled rate in accordance with
the KCSWDM and the Hylebos Creek and Lower Puget Sound Basin Plan.
8
IX.
c.
UTILITIES: Drainage Facilities (cont'd)
Design and construction of drainage facilities in accordance with the KCSWDM and
the Hylebos Creek Basin Plan is addressed as Condition #10 of preliminary plat
approval (page 13). Public utilities and facilities such as detention/retention ponds
are required to be screened from adjacent uses and rights-of-way as required by
FWCC Sec. 22-1565. This requirement is addressed in Condition #9 (page 12).
X.

The project is consistent with the public health, safety. and welfare.
Staff comment: The proposed preliminary plat would permit development of the site
consistent with the current Single Family High Density land use classification of the
City's Comprehensive Plan and Map. Proposed access and fire hydrant locations
must meet all requirements of the Fire District. Future development of the plat in
accordance with applicable codes and regulations will ensure protection of the public
health, safety and welfare.

ANALYSIS OF DECISIONAL CRITERIA (cont'd)
b.
Preliminary Plat Approval Criteria:
Pursuant to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 20, Subdivisions, the Hearing
Examiner shall review the preliminary plat for compliance with Section 20-2, Purpose,
and design criteria and development standards of the Chapter; all other applicable
ordinances and regulations of the City; and requirements of RCW Chapter 58.17, the
Subdivision and Platting Act.
Staff comment: Development of this site is required to comply with the provisions
of Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 20, Subdivisions; FWCC Chapter 18,
Environmental Protection; FWCC Section 19-46, Methods of Mitigation; and all other
applicable local and state development codes and regulations. As proposed and as
recommended by City staff, the preliminary plat application complies with all
applicable statutues, codes and regulations.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
Based on an analysis of the proposed action, the environmental record and related
decisional criteria, the Department of Community Development Services finds that:
1.
The site is comprised of two parcels. One is currently vacant and the other contains
an occupied single family residence. All adjacent land uses are single family
residential.
2.
Zoning for the site and adjacent parcels is RS-7.2. The proposed residential
subdivision and density is consistent with existing adjacent land uses and zoning.
The existing single family residence contains a detached garage that is enchroaching
within the required side yard setback as established by the FWCC. Prior to final plat
approval. the structure must be removed or the adjacent lot line adjusted for code
conformance.
3.
A Environmental Determination of Non-Significance (MONS) was issued for this
proposed action on March 1, 1997. The comment and appeal period for this
determination was completed March 30, 1997. No comments or appeals were
received and the decision was finaled with no modification. This determination is
incorporated by reference as though set forth in full.
4.
Water and sewer facilities are available from SW 346th Place and are adequate to
serve the proposed development. It is the applicant's responsibility to secure all
necessary water and sewer services from the appropriate utility provider.
5.
Surface water facilities will be designed in accordance with the KCSWDM and the
Hylebos Creek Plan and are adequate to serve the development.
6.
Public access to Lots 1 through 6 and the detention tract site will be provided by a
northwesterly extension of SW 346th Place. Access to Lot 7 will be provided by an
existing private access easement from SW 344th Street.

XII.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS (cont'd)
7.
Southwest 346th Place is currently designated as a Local Street by the Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan. Full street improvements within a 56-foot right-of-way are
required for the southerly half of the subdivision. Street requirements for the
northerly extension of the street, as modified and approved by the Public Works
Department, will include half-street improvements on the easterly (developed) side
of the street, within a 3D-foot right-of-way. The public right of way and the
stormwater detention tract will be dedicated to the City.
8.
Pursuant to FWCC Sec. 20-155 and FWCC Sec. 19-46, the applicant proposes to
provide a percentage of the required open space and to pay an open space fee as
an altemative mitigation measure for the balance of required open space. Pursuant
to FWCC 19-46(c), the applicant will be required to submit an appraisal of similarly
situated property for the City to calculate the exact amount to be paid to the City
Parks fund. The on site buffer open space will be segregated as a separate tract
and owned and maintained by the subdivision property owners.
9.
Prior to issuance of construction permits the applicant will be required to submit a
landscape plan addressing open space buffer, detention tract screening, street
trees, and retention and/or replacement of significant trees.
10.
The proposed preliminary plat is permitted by Federal Way City Code (FWCC)
Chapter 22, Zoning; and Chapter 20, Subdivisions; subject to Process III review.
11.
The proposed subdivision and all attachments have been reviewed for compliance
with the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP); Federal Way City Code (FWCC)
Chapter 22, Zoning; Chapter 18, Environmental Protection; Chapter 20, Subdivisions;
Section 19-46, Methods of Mitigation, and all other applicable codes and regulations.
As proposed and recommended by staff, the preliminary plat is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and all applicable codes and regul?tions.
12.
Prior to final plat approval and recording, all required and approved improvements
will be constructed, or the improvements appropriately bonded, per City code
requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on review of this application, the Mitigated Determination of Environmental Non-
Significance and pertinent decisional criteria, the Department of Community Development
Services recommends approval of the preliminary plat subject to the following conditions:
1.
Prior to final plat approval the existing structure on Lot 7, located within five feet of
the proposed south property line, must be removed or relocated to conform to
building setbacks requirements as established by Federal Way City Code (FWCC);
or lot lines must be adjusted accordingly.

OFF-SITE ANALYSIS:
The area as delineated on the off-site drainage area map includes both developed and
undeveloped conditions. The plat south and southwest of the site (Stonegate) has been
improved with a storm system of its own. The area considered as contributing to the
proposed project was the yards and landscape areas north and east of the existing roads.
Based on the aerial topography maps of Federal Way, a portion of the two lots to the west
also appear to drain toward the site. However, this was difficult to ascertain from the field
inspection. The unimproved areas were brush, alders, and grass, similar in cover to the site.
No erosion of any kind was observed from the off-site area, as the flows are sheet flow in
nature.
ON-SITE ANALYSIS:
Site vegetation includes alder, brush, some coßÜers, and grass. This vegetation exists mostly
over the southern end of the property. Near the existing house on the lot to be included in
the subdivision, there is an isolated rise to the ground, most of which is grass vegetation.
Surface water runoff appears to continue around this isolated high spot to the west side and
progresses on toward the road.
DOWNSTREAM ANALYSIS:
Flows leave the site along S.W. 344th and enter a ditch along the south side of the road.
The ditch is approximately 2 feet wide at the bottom. Side slopes are heavily vegetated at
approximately 2:1 slope. Ditches and culverts have been plugged by sloughing from the
sides in some cases. Slope of the ditch is difficult to identify except for ground or roads
which slope to the west. The ditch flows west approximately 18 feet, enters a 12-inch
concrete culvert under the driveway, and flows through the culvert approximately 20 feet.
The ditch then continues to the west at a fairly flat slope; standing water appears in the
bottom. The side slope on the south is fairly steep, almost 1-1/2:1 (1:1 in some cases). The
slope on the north side is gentle, approximately 2 or 3:1:'-The ditch runs for approximately
56 feet, passing through a 12-inch concrete culvert under a driveway. The culvert is
approximately half filled with debris and dirt. The length is approximately 21 feet. The
ditch continues to the west. It is heavily vegetated with grass and slopes approximately 2: 1
on both sides for approximately 36 feet. It then enters an 18-inch-diameter concrete culvert,
that flows north under S.W. 344th Street (Point 1). Approximately 10 feet further west is
an S-inch culvert under another driveway, but flows appear to turn and travel north, rather
than continue west in the S-inch pipe.
The culvert under S.W. 344th Street is approximately 41 feet long and exits in another grass-
lined ditch on the north side of the road. Flows appear (from grass pattern) to then go to
the west toward 35th Avenue S.W. No erosion or scouring was noticed at any of these
1

(
c--
culverts crossing under driveways. The ditch seems to become shallow approximately 55 feet
west of the last lS-inch invert; the slope is probably 4:1 on the roadside, 2:1 on the northern,
or property, side. Due to a low bank on the property side in this area, the ditch flows,
should they overtop, would flow parallel to the ditch and not flood adjacent buildings or
yards. The bottom width is approximately 1 to 1.5 feet. The ditch takes a turn to the north,
following 35th Avenue S.W. approximately 101 feet from the lS-inch outfall following the
contour of the road.
At 161 feet past the lS-inch culvert outfall, the ditch combines with a pipe coming from the
south under S. W. 344th Street (Point 2). The pipe is an lS-inch concrete culvert with some
rip rap and filter fabric adjacent to it. Scouring from the existing ditch as it cascades down
around the pipe has eroded quite a bit of soil, as is evident in the bottom of the ditch
further north. Side slopes are 1:1 in some cases at the pipe; little vegetation exists roughly
20 feet from the pipe. The IS-inch pipe comes from a development south of S.W. 344th.
A pond, constructed as part of an unfinished plat, discharges from the wet pond located on
the east side of the road of 35th Avenue S.W. The swale continues north, paralleling 35th
Avenue S.W., approximately 150 feet, where it enters an lS-inch CMP. The ditch before
this point has sediments in the bottom, but vegetation has prevented major scouring. The
IS-inch CMP is approximately 14 feet long and has some sediment in the bottom. The ditch
continues with the bottom from 1.5 to 2 feet wide. Side slopes are approximately 2:1 on the
Holm side and approximately 2:1 on the roadside. The ditch continues for approximately
460 feet and enters an N12 corrugated metal pipe 12 inches in diameter. Ditch depth to this
point is approximately 2 to 2.5 feet, with approximately a 1- to lo5-foot bottom. N12 is
approximately 45 feet long, beveled on both ends, and passes under.a private residence
driveway. The ditch continues for approximately 44 feet beyond the last culvert. The ditch
bottom is approximately 1 foot wide. Some scouring appears, and there is loose rock in the
bottom. There is little vegetation. The slope on the house side seems to be part of the
resident's landscaping with flowers. Water then enters a 12-inch concrete culvert. No
headwall exists, although no scouring is evident. A 12-inch concrete culvert approximately
38 feet long passes under a double driveway serving 2 lots to the east. Flows continue north
in a well vegetated ditch approximately 51 feet. Bottom width is more or less 2 feet now,
although there are 2 deposits of gravel that appear to have been caused by flows through
this ditch. Flows then enter another 12-inch concrete culvert under a driveway,
approximately 25 feet long. No scouring is observed at either inlet or outlet of this. The
ditch resumes for approximately 60 feet. The bottom width is less than 1 foot. Side slopes
are vegetated with grass. Flows then enter a 12-inch concrete culvert under the driveway
and flow for approximately 25 feet through the pipe. Flows exiting the 12-inch pipe are met
by a large boulder in the middle of the ditch, which has caused scouring around the sides
and bottom as it continues its way north. Ditch flows continue for 90 feet. It then enters
a 15-inch concrete culvert, continuing north under S.W. 34Oth Place (Point 3). This 15-inch
pipe does not appear to tie into any other storm system from the plat to the east, but
continues north in a ditch that is somewhat higher than the outfall of the pipe. The 15-inch
pipe is approximately 75 feet long. The ditch widens approximately 2 to 3 feet at the
bottom in some cases. As it nears the intersection of 35th Avenue S.W. and S.W. 340th

f:
Street, the slope on the roadside becomes almost 1.5:1 (probably 2:1 on the property side).
The ditch continues for 75 feet toward the intersection and enters a 12-inch CMP with a
trash rack, which apparently enters a closed storm system at this point.
Flows to the 12-inch CMP continue in approximately 10 feet of the CMP to a Type I basin
located north of the end of the ditch. This basin is located at the curb return of existing
sidewalk that is at the southeast comer of the intersection. A 12-inch CMP exit basin on the
north side and proceeds due north of the flowline on 35th Avenue S.W. approximately 38
feet to a Type II manhole marked ItSEWERIt (Point 4). A 21-inch CMP with a slide gate
and 21-inch riser exits west from this manhole. A 30-inch CMP exits the same manhole
structure to the north. This point was approximately 1,500 feet downstream of the site and
the terminus of this downstream inspection.
Sitts and Hill is completing as-built information at the intersection of S. W. 34Oth and 35th
Avenue S.W. Additional information regarding storm size and direction from this
intersection may be obtained from them. A Type II catch basin on the west side of 35th
Avenue S.W., just north of S.W. 340th Street, has a 21- or 24-inch CMP, with flows going
to the north. How this connected with the system at the intersection is not known. There
is no storm system, either closed or open, on the west side of 35th Avenue S.W. between
S.W. 344th and S.W. 34Oth. Flows from the intersection ofS.W. 34Oth and 35th Avenue
S.W. appear to continue north on 35th Avenue S.W. to approximately S.W. 338th Street,
where they turn east. Just east of 33rd Place S.W. the flows discharge to a large drainage
ravine and continue flowing north.

Arents, Alderwood Material
Arents, Alderwood material consists of Alderwood
soils that have been so disturbed through urban-
ization that they no longer can be classified with
the Al?e:wood series. These soils, however, have
many SImIlar features. The upper part of the soil
to a depth of 20 to 40 inches, is brown to dark- '
brown gravelly sandy loam. Below this is a grayish-
brown, consolidated and impervious substratum.
Slopes generally ra~ge from 0 to 15 percent.
These soils are used for urban development.
Arents, Alderwood material, 0 to 6 percent slopes
(AmB).--In many areas this soil is level, as a
result of shaping during construction for urban
facilities. Areas are rectangular in shape and
range from 5 acres to about 400 acres in size.

The upper, very friable part of the soil extends
to a depth of 20 to 40 inches and ranges from dark
grayish brown to dark yellowish brown.
Some areas are up to 30 percent included soils
that are similar to this soil material, but either
shallower or deeper over the compact substratum;
and some areas are 5 to 10 percent very gravelly
Everett soils and sandy Indianola soils.
This Arents, Alderwood soil is moderately well
drained. Permeability in the upper, disturbed soil
material is moderately rapid to moderately slow,
depending on its compaction during construction.
The substratum is very slowly permeable. Roots

Anticipated
Conditions and Problems
Outflow below S 320th will
continue to cause channel
erosion.
Channel will continue to
erode, possibly threatening
homes on bank tops. Eroded
material will be deposited
downstream at golf course.
Downcutting will migrate
upstream, damaging park and
possibly initiating slope
failures that threaten
adjacent properties.
Continued failure along
bluffs.
Sedimentation in main stem
will continue.
Recommendations
Improve control of stream flows
through use of RID upstream.
- Im'prove 1,000' of incised, channel.
- Excavate channel sides baëk to
more stable slope.
- Remove undercut trees,
- Place rock in channel beq.
.~
- Assess need for structural
solutions (e.g., check dams).
- Direct ~me runoff away from
stream reach or provide more R/D
upstream.
Problem occurs in Dash Point State
Park. No action required.
Notify appropriate agencies in
Pierce County (where problem
originates).

Subject:
Request for Waiver of Requîred Street Width Improvements
Granville Place Preliminary Plat: SUB96-0001
3329 SW 344th Street
Dear Mr. Horn:
The .City is in receipt of your September 24, 1996 letter referencing submittal of required
revisions to the Preliminary Plat of Granville Place application. On October 15, 1996
Community Development Services deemed the submittal for application number
SUB96-0001 complete for filing.
The City has also received your supplemental letter dated September 24, 1996 requesting waiver
. of requirements for street width improvem~nts. This request for waiver of City Code
requirements is governed by Federal Way City Code Section 22-1477, "Modifications,
Defennents and Waivers. "
City Code
Section 22-1477 allows the Public Works Director to modify, defer or waive the requirements
of this code section, only after consideration of a written request, for the following reasons:
~
The improvements as required would not be harmonious' with existing street
improvements, would not function properly or safely or would not be advantageous to
the neighborhood or City as a whole.
~
Unusual topographic or physical conditions preclude the construction of the improvements
as required.
~
Proper vertical or horizontal alignments cannot be determined because the existing streets
do not have correct alignments.
~
The required improvement is part of a larger project that has been scheduled for
construction in the City's capital improvements program.
EXHIBIT Þ
PAGE-/--OF Z,
(
(
City Findines
Following the above criteria, the City can approve the requested street width modifications if
requisite revisions to the plans are provided, based upon the following:
~
Access restrictions to the north, south and west are described in the letter of September
24, 19960 Conclusions in the letter are premised upon use of properties to the north and
west for future road improvements.
With a reconfiguration of the proposed cul-de-sac right-<>f-way to accommodate an 82.5
foot minimum right-of-way diameter, it is possible to build code required cul-de-sac
improvements within the first 600 feet of the cul-de-sac on the proposed plat.
An acceptable cul-de-sac section would include 80 foot from face of curb to face of curb.
The cul-de-sac section must contain concrete curb and gutter on the west and east. The
section must also contain a 1.5 foot dedication or easement along the proposed property
frontages oflots 5 and 6 for public utilities. This configuration requires adjustment of the
cul-de-sac to the east in final plat drawings.
..
Unusual topographic and physical conditions which would preclude construction of code
required improvements do not exist on the property. Access restrictions exist to the
north, south and west of the property.
..
Vertical and horizontal alignments can be determined for the proposed roado Existing SW
346th Place has established a vertical and horizontal alignment to the southeast of the
proposed project. While vertical and horizontal alignments north to SW 344th Street do
not exist, alignments can be reasonably anticipated. The road alignment should
incorporate an alignment that anticipates a future extension to SW 344th Street, if the
extension is not made at this time.
..
The City has not scheduled a capital improvement project within this local street grid.
If you would like to schedule a meeting to discuss the project, or if you have any questions,
please contact Julie M. Pappa, Engineering Plans Reviewer ll, at (206) 661-4132.

PRELIMINARY PLAT OF GRANVILLE PLACE
April 21, 1997
Page - 2
3.
All appropriate notices were delivered in accordance with the requirements of the Federal
Way City Code (FWCC).
4.
The applicant has a possessory ownership interest in a 2.09 acre, trapezoidal shaped parcel
of property located at the terminus of SW 346th Place, south of SW 344th St. within the City
of Federal Way. The parcel, bordered on the south by property within Pierce County, is
improved with a single family residential dwelling and accessory structure on the northern
portion. The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval to allow subdivision of the
parcel into seven single family residential lots. The preliminary plat shows that access to the
site will be provided by extending SW 346th Place through the southern portion of plat. Six
lots are proposed for the south portion of the plat and a temporary cul-de-sac is proposed
between lots five and six at approximately the center of the parcel. A storm detention tract
separates lot six from lot seven which abuts the north property line and is improved with the
existing structures which will remain. Lot seven will continue to use the existing access onto
SW 344th Street.
5.
SW 346th Place presently terminates in a temporary cul-de-sac at the parcel's east property
line. The applicant will remove the asphalt from the cul-de-sac portion of the road, return
said area to grass, and remove the temporary cul-de-sac easement from the title of the
subservient estates.
6.
The east property line is bordered by the Southhampton Court subdivision and the south
property line is bordered by the Stonegate Division II subdivision located in Pierce County.
The north and west property lines are bordered by single family residential dwellings on
larger lots.
7.
The site is located within the Single Family Residential-High Density designation of the
Federal Way Comprehensive Plan and is located within the Single Family Residential (RS-
7.2) zone classification of the FWCC. The RS- 7.2 classification authorizes single family
detached dwelling units on minimum 7,200 square foot lot sizes. The proposed minimum lot
size is 7,200 square feet and the maximum lot size is 10,320 square feet. The proposed lot
size and density are consistent with abutting and nearby platted properties within both the
City and Pierce County.
8.
The storm drainage improvements must comply with all applicable Core and special
requirements outlined in the King County Surface Water Design Manual including surface
water detention, biofiltration, and oil/water separation. The applicant submitted a Level I
downstream analysis which has been reviewed by the City Public Works Department. The
storm water system is designed to collect storm water in the detention tract between lots six
and seven, and then releasing the water to a biofiltration swale for conveyance to the north
to an existing outfall point in SW 344th St.

9.
The soils consist of Alderwood gravelly, sandy loam which is moderately well drained,
capable of adequate compaction, and able to support the proposed development. The site is
mostly flat with an average slope of three percent. On site vegetation consists of domestic
shrubs and grasses, alder, blackberry, and other native species. Four significant trees are on
site, all of which will be lost. The applicant must obtain approval of a landscape plan and
comply with the significant tree ordinance. No threatened or endangered species are known
or excepted to inhabit the site. Replacement of the significant trees and incorporation of
street trees, buffering, open space, and landscaping will assist the small birds and animals
currently on the site. The project is not located within a sensitive area or 100 year floodplain.
10.
The applicant will install full street improvements for the extension of SW 346th Place from
the present temporary cul-de-sac to the new temporary cul-de-sac, and half street
improvements north of said point. Full street improvements include 28 feet of pavement,
vertical curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and street trees within a 56 foot wide right-of-way. The
half street improvements will include 20 feet of pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalk, and street
trees on the easterly side only. The half street improvements will extend from the temporary
cul-de-sac to the north property line of lot seven within a 30 foot right-of-way. Lot seven
will continue to use the existing access onto SW 344th Street which will also serve as an
emergency vehicle access for the plat.
11.
The applicant asserts that since SW 346th Place is a neighborhood access street, street
lighting is not required by the FWCC. Section 22-1522 FWCC states as follows:
Street lighting shall be required on all rights-of-way, except
neighborhood access streets and culs-de-sac.
Section 20-185 FWCC states as follows:
a.
All subdivisions and short subdivisions shall install street
lighting on all streets, except neighborhood access streets and
cul-de-sacs where installation is optional, in accordance with
common design standards for spacing, placement, and
luminous intensity.
b.
Light standard and luminar design shall be approved by the
Director of Public Works.
Section 22-1522 is a portion of the zoning chapter of the FWCC and addresses street
lighting on all City streets regardless of whether said streets are located within a
subdivision. Section 20-185 is a portion of the subdivision chapter of the FWCC and
(
(
PRELIMINARY PLAT OF GRANVILLE PLACE
April 21, 1997
Page - 4
13.
14.
15.
16.
17.
specifically addresses standards for new subdivisions. Section 20-185 states that it
is optional with the City as to whether street lighting is required on neighborhood
access streets. Such interpretation is consistent with Section 20-144(C) FWCC which
sets forth a portion of the criteria which the Examiner must evaluate in a plat
alteration application. Said section states that Section 20-185 applies "only to new
roadways proposed as a result of the alteration of the plat." Thus, in all new
subdivision streets, street lighting may be required at the discretion of the City.
12.
School aged children residing in the subdivision will be served by Green Gables Elementary
School, Saghalie Junior High School, and Decatur High School. Bus stops are currently
located within a few blocks of the plat and may be adjusted depending on student
transportation needs. The plat must comply with the City School Impact Fee Ordinance
which is subject to an annual adjustment and update.
Alderdale Park is located approximately one half mile to the northeast of the site; Olympic
View Park is approximately one mile north ofthe site; and Crescent Heights Park, within the
City of Tacoma, is approximately one mile to the west. Dash Point State Park is 1.5 miles
to the northwest. Section 20-155(B) FWCC requires the applicant to provide open space in
the amount of" 15% of the gross land area of the subdivision site". However, since the site
is less than five acres, the applicant is allowed to seek alternative methods to providing said
open space on site. The applicant is proposing to pay a fee in lieu of reservation as pennitted
by Section 22-155 and as required by a conditional of approval hereinafter.
The City of Tacoma has provided a certificate of water availability indicating its ability to
supply both domestic water and fire flow to the site. The Lake Haven Utility District will
supply sanitary sewer service to all lots.
Section 20-l20(B) FWCC requires the Examiner to review a request for preliminary plat
approval for compliance with Sections 20-2; 20-151 through 20-157; 20-178 through 20-187
FWCC; and RCW 58.17.
The preliminary plat complies with the subdivision design criteria set forth in Section 20-151
FWCC. The traffic is distributed in a logical manner toward a collector street system and
connects with existing streets. A temporary cul-de-sac is provided, but is not more than 600
feet in length. The site contains no steep slopes and the streets are designed in confonnance
with adopted standards for sight distance at intersections.
All lots are designed in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 20-152 FWCC and
are of ample dimension to provide a regular shaped building area which can meet required
setbacks. All lots are designed to provide access for emergency apparatus and abut a public
street right-of-way. No lots will access onto an arterial street. As previously found the
(

subdivision meets the density and lot size criteria of the RS- 7.2 zone classification. The
applicant is not proposing a cluster subdivision, and as previously found, will satisfy the
open space requirements of Section 20-155 FWCC by making a payment in lieu of open
space. Pedestrian and bicycle access corridors are not appropriate as the site is not located
near a bikeway or trail. Sidewalks on both sides of the plat road will ensure safe walking
conditions. No view blockage issue are present.
18.
The improvement and density requirements set forth in Sections 20-176 and 20-177 FWCC
are satisfied. Buffers required by Section 20-178 are not necessary since the site is bordered
by single family residential development on all sides. Conditions of approval require the
applicant to retain all natural vegetation except that removed for improvements or grading
as required by Section 20-179. Street improvements meet the requirement of Section 20-180.
19.
The City of Tacoma will serve the subdivision with both domestic water and fire flow as is
authorized by Section 20-181 FWCC and the Lake Haven Utility District will provide
sanitary sewer service as is authorized by Section 20-182. As previously found, the applicant
is proposing an adequate storm drainage system designed in accordance with FWCC
requirements as required by Section 20-183. All lots in the subdivision will be served by
electricity, telephone, cable tv, and natural gas (if available) and all utilities will be provided
underground as required by Section 20-184. As previously found, street lighting will be
provided as required by Section 20-185. The applicant is required to provide a landscape
plan, comply with the significant tree ordinance, and provide permanent survey control
monuments in accordance with Sections 20-186 and 20-187 FWCc.
Subdivisions are approved pursuant to the Process III evaluation set forth in Section 22-476
et seq. FWCC. Process III requires the Examiner to issue a recommendation to the Federal
Way City Council which then makes the final decision as to approval or disapproval of the
preliminary plat application. Findings on each decisional criteria used by the City Council
to make its decision are hereby made as follows:

school grounds, and other public requirements. The plat makes appropriate provision for
proper ingress and egress and provides for housing needs of the community. The plat will
ensure unifonn monumenting ofland divisions and conveyance of accurate legal descriptions
and contains no environmentally sensitive areas.
3.
The proposed preliminary plat makes appropriate provision for the public health, safety, and
general welfare for open spaces, drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water
supplies, sanitary waste, fire protection, parks, playgrounds, schools, and safe walking
conditions as required by RCW 58.17.110. The proposed preliminary plat will serve the
public use and interest by providing an attractive location for a single family residential
subdivision and therefore should be approved subject to the following conditions:
A. Prior to final plat approVal~ing structure on Lot 7, located within five feet of
the proposed south property line, must be removed or relocated to confonn to
building setbacks requirements as established by Federal Way City Code (FWCC);
or lot lines must be adjusted accordingly.
B.
Prior to final plat approval the required off-site hydrant must be installed at SW 344th

SUBJECT:
Cellular Towers
At the direction of City Manager Ken Nyberg, information on cellular towers is being brought
to your attention. At this time there is no recommendation from staff. Staff will be
prepared to follow through on committee direction, if any. Enclosed (Exhibit A) is the
current work program status of the code amendments for your information.
Status
There are four existing cellular towers located in Federal Way. They are located primarily
along the corridor between 1-5 and Pacific Highway South. General locations include
Belmore Park, the fire station on First Avenue, Jet Chevrolet and Federal Way High School.
There are five cellular tower applications pending with the City. Most are located in the 1-
5/Pacific Highway South corridor. General locations include Jet Chevrolet, the Bulk Mail
Center on 9th South, the fire station on 21 st Avenue SW, South 288th Street/Pacific
Highway South and Truman High School.
A map noting these sites will be provided at your meeting.
Land Use Process
In December of 1996 an interpretation was made which clarified what processes are needed
to be followed to obtain permits for Telecommunications Facilities. A copy (Exhibit B) is
attached, dated December 11, 1996.
Since adoption of the 1724 Regulatory Reform code amendments the process for cell
towers in commercial and residential zones is attached on the two page table (Exhibit C)
entitled Cellular Tower and dated April 24, 1997.
Please note that the five current cell tower applications require a public hearing process
under the former code requirement because they are vested under those processes.
Cell Tower Guidelines
Guidance for cell tower height in the zoning code is found under 1) special notes and
regulations on the permitted land use chart and 2) if a height variance is required then the
variance criteria apply. Comprehensive Plan Policies related to telecommunications include:
PUP4
PUP6
PUP17
PUP19
The City encourages the joint use of trenches, conduits, or
poles, so that utilities may coordinate expansion, maintenance,
and upgrading facilities with the lease amount of right-of-way
disruption.
The City will endeavor to inform utilities of upcoming
improvements or expansions which may provide opportunities
for joint use.
The City should require that site-specific utility facilities such as
antennae and sub-stations are reasonably and appropriately
sited and screened to mitigate adverse aesthetic impacts.
The City should modify the zoning regulations to address the
siting, screening, and design standards for wireless/cellular
facilities, substations, and antennae facilities in such a manner
as to allow for reasonable and predictable review while
minimizing potential land use and visual impacts on adjacent
property.
Other jurisdictions have adopted cellular tower code amendments. They typically cover:
siting criteria, development standards, co-locations, definitions, etc. Attached are three
Puget Sound area examples: Redmond, Edmonds and Lynwood (Exhibits 0, E, and F).
Other Related Issues
Regional Cooperation. City of Kent Councilmember Tim Clark has proposed working
with adjacent jurisdictions on telecommunications issues. Staff has been attending
and monitoring meetings. Attached is the letter dated February 28, 1997, from Tim
Clark (Exhibit G) with a proposed resolution on cooperation between jurisdictions
siting cellular towers, that he has asked other jurisdictions to consider. (Please note
that the Kent City Council has not approved this resolution.)

Communication Facilities Code Interpretation
December 11, 1996
Recent passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 along with questions from the wireless
communication industry has prompted the need for the city to identify what is to be the appropriate
land use process and code requirements for siting of wireless communication facilities. Typical with
most other jurisdictions the city code does not contemplate a number of issues concerning the siting
of these types of facilities. The purpose of this memo therefore is to provide an interpretation and
thus a clarification as to how the city will handle requests for siting of wireless communication
facilities 1 on existing buildings, cellular towers, or other types of structures such as water towers in
commercial or residential zones. This interpretation does not require permits for direct broadcast
satellites (satellite dishes in single family zones intended for individual home use).
Familiar to most people are the large communication towers which, over the past several years, have
begun to dot the landscape. The city has permitted several of these large towers. The land use
process for doing so is relatively straight forward: follow the land use process outlined in the use
zone chart for public utilities, process height variance for increased height (residential zones) and
comply with the procedural requirements of SEPA.
As cellular technology continues to evolve, the need for these types of towers has lessened (at least
in more urban areas) and the industry preference now is to locate antennas, transmitters or
transceivers, on an existing building or structure. It is this type of request that has caused some
confusion as to what is the appropriate land use review process, development standards and
building permit process.
The Reliance building located on S. 320th, adjacent to Interstate 5 provides an example of how the
FWCC is to be interpreted for building mount antennas. As illustrated in Figure 1 public utilities in
the City Center zone are subject to site plan review and a height limit of 35 feet. Adherence to this
height limit would make the addition of antennas to either an existing building or structure
nonsensical for the service provider from a technical standpoint and it would also make a relatively
simple request too involved because of the need to justify additional height under a higher land use
review process.
A more logical approach then, is to use the height limit of the principle structure or building coupled
with the land use process stipulated for public utilities. In addition to the maximum height limit of
building or structure, antennas. and associated equipment cabinets may be located on the top of
buildings or structures so long as they do not exceed four feet in height in accordance with City Code
section 22-1047(2)(a,b). Under this code section those proposals which exceed the four foot limit
can be considered subject to administrative review by the director of community development
services. Equipment cabinets must also meet the screening requirements set forth in this code
1 Wireless communication facilities, also referred to as "personal wireless service facilities"
are defined using federal definitions. "Micro ceIl" is defined as a wireless communications facility
consisting of an antenna that is either (i) four feet in height and with an area of not more than 580
square inches, or (ii) if a tubular antenna, no more than four inches in diameter and no more than
six feet in length. EX H ~ 8 ~T ---=v

section.
For structures which are nonconforming as to height, antennas could be placed on the structure so
long as they do not increase the degree of nonconformance (Le., they do not project higher than the
building or structure), as may be the case with the BPA transmission line towers. This approach
should hopefully encourage the addition of wireless antennas onto existing structures, thereby
reducing the need to erecting large unsightly communication towers.

In the case of the Reliance building an applicant would make application for minor site plan review
and would also take out a building penn it, if required (see attached interpretation from city's building
official), for the actual installation of the facility. Figure 1 is shaded to reflect this approach. The
purpose of the minor site plan review process is to reflect the need for a lesser review process. Staff
will work on further defining minor site plan review procedures as well as developing a specific set
of submittal requirements.

For residential zones the process as outlined in Figure 2 above is more complex since SEPA will
be required for almost all projects. FWCC stipulates land use review process III, however, this is
proposed to change to new land use process III, which is similar to existing process I. Therefore,
if the new code amendments are adopted there will be no review by the hearing examiner or city
council, but there will be an opportunity for public comment.
In the case where the city enters into a franchise agreement to allow for the placement of wireless
facilities on existing structures such as telephone poles, the city will review a master plan which
illustrates and discusses the proposal. Master plan review and approval may eliminate the need for
separate review of each telecommunication facility. A determination of permits needed for
placement of facilities will be made at the time of the administrative review and approval of the
master plan.

Transmission Tower Exemptions
Background:
(
Policy:
Recent changes to the communications act at the Federal level will cause new competition
in the cellular phone business. As a result, we may receive request for new types of
electromagnetic wave transmission towers and antenna for cellular phone, two way
communications and other users such as wide area networks.
The UBC currently provides no exception for these type of transmission devices. Many of
these new antenna don't present any special hazard and should be exempted. In an
attempt to establish a threshold that may be applied I have established the following policy
that may be applied to transmission towers and antenna.
Radio transmission towers and antennas may be exempted from a building permit if ALL
of the following apply;
1. The tower or antenna's primary supporting mast, not including mounting hardware,
must consist of a single member (such as a pole or tube) that's largest cross section
dimension no larger than one and one quarter inches (I 1/4").
AND
2. The total overall height of the tower or antenna may not exceed 20 feet,
a. Above the line of a roof eave, top edge of a roof mansard or coping of a flat
roofwhen attached to a building or structure.
OR
b. Above the adjacent grade when mounted on the ground.
AND
3. The total weight, including mounting hardware when mounted on a building but not
including concrete foundations when mounted on the ground, shall not exceed thirty (30)
pounds.

20.50.000 Purpose.
In addition to the general purposes of the
comprehensive plan and the zoning ordinance,
this chapter is included in the Community
Development Code to provide for a wide range
of locations and options for wireless commu-
nication providers while minimizing the
unsightly characteristics associated with wire-
less communication facilities and to encourage
creative approaches in locating wireless com-
munication facilities which will blend in with
the surroundings of such facilities. COrd. 3099
§ 1,1996].
20.50.010 Development standards for
micro facilities.
A. Micro facilities are pemùtted in all
zones.
B. A micro facility shall be located on
existing buildings, poles or other existing sup-
pon structures. A micro facility may locate on
buildings and structures; provided, that the
(Revised 12/96)
20.50.020
interior wall or ceiling immediately adjacent to
the facility is not designated residential space.
C. Antennas equal to or less than four feet
in height (except ornni-directional antennas
which can be up to six feet in height) and with
an area of not more than 580 square inches in
the aggregate (e.g., one-foot diameter parabola
or two-foot by one and one-half-foot panel as
viewed from anyone point) are exempt from
the height limitation of the zone in which they
are located. Structures which are nonconform-
ing with respect to height may be used for the
placement of omni-directional antennas pro-
viding they do not extend more than six feet
above the existing structure. Placement of an
antenna on a nonconfonning structUre shall
not be considered to be an expansion of the
nonconforming structure.
D. The micro facility shall be exempt from
review by the architectural design board if the
antenna and related components are the same
color as the existing building, pole or support
. structure on which it is proposed to be located.
E. The shelter or cabinet used to house
radio electronic equipment shall be contained
wholly within a building or structure, or other-
wise appropriately concealed, camouflaged or
located underground.
F. In single-family residential (RS) zones,
micro facilities for a specific wireless provider
shall be separated by a distance equal to or
greater than 1,320 linear feet from other micro
facilities of the same wireless provider. fOrd.
3099 § 1, 1996].
20.50.020 Development standards for
mini facilities.
A. Mini facilities are permitted in all zones
except single-family residential (RS) zones.
B. The mini facility may be located on
buildings and structures; provided, that the
immediate interior wall or ceiling adjacent to
the facility is not a designated residential space.
C. The mini facility shall be exempt from
review by the architectural design board if the
antenna and related components are the same
(Revised 12/96)
20-64
color as the existing building, pole or support
structure on which it is proposed to be located.
D. The shelter or cabinet used to house
radio electronic equipment shall be contained
wholly within a building or structure, or other-
wise appropriately concealed, camouflaged or
located underground.
E. Mini facilities shall comply with the
height limitation specified for all zones except
as follows: Omni-directional antennas may
exceed the height limitation by 10 feet, or, in
the case of nonconforming structures, the
antennas may extend 10 feet above the existing
structure. Panel antennas may exceed the
height limitation if affixed to the side of an
existing nonconforming building and blends in
architecturally with the building. Placement of
an antenna on a nonconforming structure shall
not be considered to be an expansion of the
nonconforming structure. [Ord. 3099§ 1,
1996].
20.50.030 Development standards for
macro facilities.
A. Macro facilities are permitted in all
zones except single-family residential (RS)
zones.
B. Macro facilities may be located on build-
ings and structures; provided, that the immedi-
ate interior wall or ceiling adjacent to the
facility is not a designated residential space.
C. The macro facility shall be exempt from
review by the architectural design board if the
antenna and related components are the same
color as the existing building, pole or support
structure on which it is proposed to be located.

radio electronic equipment shall be contained
wholly within a building or structure, or other-
wise appropriately concealed, camouflaged or
located underground.
E. Macro facilities shall comply with the
height limitation specified for all zones, except
as follows: Omni-directional antennas may
exceed the height limitation by 15 feet, or, in
the case of nonconforming structures, the
antennas may extend 15 feet above the existing

D. Co-location on an existing support
structure shall be permitted without an addi-
tional conditional use permit; provided there is
not substantial change to the existing support
structure.
E. Macro facilities are the largest pemútted
wireless communication facilities allowed on a
lattice tower. Antennas which extend above
the lattice tower wireless communications sup-
port structure shall not be calculated as part of
the height of the wireless communications
support structure. For example, the maximum
height (without a conditional use permit) for a
lattice tower shall be 150 feet and the maxi-
mum height of antennas which may be
installed on the support structure could be 15
feet, making the maximum permitted height of
the support structure and antennas 165 feet
(150 feet plus 15 feet).
F. The shelter or cabinet used to house
radio electronics equipment and the associated
cabling connecting the equipment shelter or
cabinet to the lattice tower support structure

subject to review by the architectural design
board using the procedures and review criteria
specified in Chapter 20.10 ECDC and this
chapter.
G. Lattice towers shall be landscaped in
confonnance with Chapter 20.12 ECDc.
H. Lattice Towers adjacent to a single-fam-
ily zone shall be set back a distance equal to or
greater than the height of the wireless commu-
nication support structure from the nearest sin-
gle-family lot line. In any case, if the lattice
tower is within 300 feet of a single-family lot,
a conditional use permit will be required.
1. Lattice towers shall be separated from
each other by a distance equal or greater than
1,320 feet. [Ord. 3099 § 1, 1996].
20.50.070 Additional conditional use
pennit criteria for monopole I,
monopole II and lattice tower.
In addition to the conditional use pennit cri-
teria specified in Chapter 20.05 ECDC, the fol-
Edmonds Community Development Code
lowing specific criteria shall be met before a
conditional use pennit can be granted:
A. Visual Impact. Antennas may not
extend more than 15 feet above their support-
ing structure, monopole lattice tower, building
or other structure.
1. Site location and development shall
preserve the pre-existing character of the sur-
rounding buildings and land uses and the zone
district to the extent consistent with the func-
tion of the communications equipment. Wire-
less communication towers shall be integrated
through location and design to blend in with the
existing characteristics of the site to the extent
practical. Existing on-site vegetation shall be
preserved or improved, and disturbance of the
existing topography shall be minimized, unless
such disturbance would result in less visual
impact of the site to the suITounding area.
2. Accessory equipment facilities used
to house wireless communications equipment
should be located within buildings or placed
underground when possible. When they can-
not be located in buildings, equipment shelters
or cabinets shall be screened and landscaped in
confonnance with Chapter 20.12 ECDc.
B. Noise. No equipment shall be operated
so as to produce noise in levels above 45 dB as
measured from the nearest property line on
which the attached wireless communication
facility is located.
C. Other - Application and Conditional
Use Criteria - FCC Pre-emption. In any pro-
ceeding regarding the issuance of a conditional
use permit under the terms of this chapter, fed-
eral law prohibits consideration of environ-
mental effects of radio frequency emissions to
the extent that the proposed facilities comply
with the Federal Communications Cormnis-
sian regulations concerning such emission.
[Ord. 3099 § 1, 1996].
20.50.080 Exemption.
The following are exempt from the require-
ment of a conditional use permit, and shall be
considered a permitted use in all zones where
wireless and attached wireless cornrnunica-
20-64.3
20.50.090
tions facilities are permitted: Minor modifica-
tions of existing wireless communications
facilities and attached wireless communica-
tions facilities, whether emergency or routine,
so long as there is little or no change in the
visual appearance. Minor modifications are
those modifications, including the addition of
antennas, to conforming wireless and attached
wireless communications facilities that meet
the performance standards set forth in this
chapter. [Ord. 3099 § 1, 1996].
20.50.090 Obsolescence.
A wireless communications facility or
attached wireless communications facility
shall be removed by the facility owner within
six months of the date it ceases to be opera-
tional or if the facility falls into disrepair. [Ord.
3099 § 1, 1996].

20C.8O.740 TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES
20c.80.7405 Purpose.
In addition to implementing the general purposes of the Comprehensive Plan and
development regulations, this section addresses the issues of appearance and safety
associated with broadcast and relay towers, amateur radio towers, telecommunications
monopoles, satellite dish antenna(e), and related equipment. It provides adequate siting
opportunities at appropriate locations within the city to support existing communications
technologies and to encourage new technologies as needed for Redmond businesses and
institutions to stay competitive.
A wide range of locations and options for the provision of wireless technology which
minimize safety hazards and visual impacts sometimes associated with wireless
communication facilities are provided. The siting of facilities on existing buildings or
structures, collocation of telecommunication facilities on a single support structure, and
visual mitigation tactics are encouraged to preserve neighborhood aesthetics and reduce
visual clutter in the community.
20c.80.7410 Permits and Exemptions.
a. Permits Required.
1. Land Use Charts and Final Approval Authority. The final approval
authority for applications made under this Section shall be defined by the
appropriate permit procedure as outlined in the Permitted Land Use Charts,

3. Telecommunications Facility Permits. A Telecommunications Facility
Permit is required for all telecommunications facilities which are not
reviewed under Special Development Permit (Type IV) or General
Development Permit (Type II) processes, except for wireless
communication facilities which collocate on an existing broadcast and relay
tower, where adequate provisions for antennae and ground-mounted
equipment exist.
4. Combined Review. Telecommunications facilities regulated under this
section which are proposed in conjunction with a site plan approval
application for commercial or residential development shall not be required
to obtain separate Building Permit approval or separate
Telecommunications Facility Permit approval. However, communications
facilities will be reviewed according to the same criteria outlined in this
Section.
5. Summary of Required Permits. The appropriate permit procedure is
delineated in the Permitted Land Use Charts and summarized as follows:
Small Satellite Dish Antenna( e): Small satellite dish antennae e)
require no permits and are exempt under this section.
Large Satellite Dish Antenna(e): Large satellite dish antenna(e)
require a building permit and a Telecommunications Facility Permit
(Type IA).
Amateur Radio Towers: Amateur radio towers require a building
permit and Telecommunications Facility Permit (Type IA).
Broadcast and Relay Towers: Broadcast and relay towers and
other freestanding support structures require a building permit and
a Special Development Permit (Type IV) in all zoning districts
where allowed, except the Industry (I) and Manufacturing Park
(MP) zones where a General Development Permit (Type II) is
required.
Wireless Communications Facilities: Wireless communication
facilities collocated on an existing broadcast and relay tower, where
adequate provisions for antennae and ground-mounted equipment
exist, require a building permit only. Wireless communication
facilities attached to non-residential structures within all zoning
districts require a building permit and a Telecommunications
Facility Permit (Type IA). Wireless communication facilities not
attached to an existing structure and not mounted on a broadcast or
relay tower (i.e. stand-alone or ground-mounted facilities with
antenna(e» requires a building permit and Telecommunication

20C.80.7415
General Siting Criteria.
The Pennitted Land Use Charts identify zoning districts and the review process for
telecommunication facilities. The development standards in this Section address setback
and other site specific location factors. Siting criteria for broadcast and relay towers and
wireless communication facilities are necessary to encourage the siting of those facilities in
locations most appropriate based on land use compatibility, neighborhood characteristics,
and aesthetic considerations. No general siting criteria are necessary for satellite dishes or
amateur radio towers because these facilities are allowed within all zoning districts.
Generally; collocation on existing broadcast and relay towers is encouraged by fewer
standards and less complex pennit procedures (refer to Permitted Land Use Charts).
Further, attachment of antennae e) to existing nonresidential structures and buildings
primarily within industrial, manufacturing, business park, and commercial zoning districts
is preferable to broadcast and relay towers or monopoles. The City may request feasibility
studies associated with applications for telecommunication facilities which demonstrate
that locations on existing structures have been explored as the preferred siting alternative.
Broadcast and relay towers are not allowed within the urban recreation and rural
residential zones (i.e. DR, RA-5, and R-l) of the City unless reviewed through theo
Essential Public Facilities Review Process (RCDG 20C.80.750). When a broadcast and
relay tower is proposed, preferred locations are within the Industry (I) and Manufacturing
Park (MP) zoning districts by utilizing Type II (i.e. General Development Pennit) permit
procedures.
a. Broadcast and Relay Towers.
Broadcast and relay towers including monopoles shall be minimized by
collocating wireless facilities on existing towers. New broadcast and relay
towers are most appropriately located in industrial areas followed in order of
preference by manufacturing, business, commercial, and residential areas Zones
I, MP, BP, CO, CB, GC, PA, RC, NC, GOD, CC and R-30 through R-2).
Broadcast and relay towers are not allowed in urban recreation, rural, and
large-lot residential zones (A, OR RA-5 and R I), unless reviewed through the
Essential Public Facilities Process (RCOG 20c.80.750).

b. Wireless Communication Facilities.
The following sites shall be considered by applicants as the preferred order for
location of proposed wireless facilities including antenna(e), equipment, and
equipment shelters. As determined feasible, and in order of preference, the
sites are:
I. Existing Broadcast and Relay Towers: On any existing site or tower
where a legal wireless telecommunication facility is currently located
regardless of underlying zoning.
2. Industrial, Manufacturing: Structures or sites used exclusively for
Industrial and Manufacturing Park uses within the I and MP zones. These
are areas of more intensive land uses where a full range of public facilities
are expected.
3. Publicly-Used Structures: Attached to existing public facilities such as
water towers, utility structures, fire stations, bridges, and other public
buildings within all zoning districts not utilized primarily for recreational
uses. (Refer to Telecommunications Ordinance for rules and regulations
specific to facilities located on City-owned land, buildings, or public right-
of-way).
(
4. Business, Commercial and City Center Zoned Sites: Structures or sites
used exclusively for manufacturing, research and development, commercial,
and office uses. These are areas of more intensive land uses where a full
range of public facilities are expected. These zones in order of priority are
BP, CO, CB, GC, P A., RC, NC, GOD, and Cc.
5. Residential zones: Structures or sites which are not used wholly for
residential use, including residential accessory structures (e.g. deta~hed
garage). Where the installation complies with all FCC regulations and
standards, institutional structures, places of worship, and other non-
residential sites may be considered.
6. Residential structures: Wireless communication facilities attached to
residential structures are not permitted in any zoning districts except R-20
and R-30. A Special Development Permit (Type IV) is required to attach a
wireless communication facility to a residential structu,re within the R-20
and R-30 Zoning Districts.

February 28, 1997
Mr. Ken Nyberg, City Manager
City of Federal Way
33530 1st Way South
Federal Way, W A 98003
Dear Mr. Nyberg:
As an elected official, I have taken as a personal responsibility to learn as much about
telecommunications issues as I can. On February 24, for example, I attended a conference
in Seattle about the "Wireless Buildout", a conference for the Pacific Northwest. In
attendance were city planners from all over, a few elected officials, and representatives of
the wireless community. The conference was paid for in part by companies who act as
service providers for both cities and the industry.
-",.., ,
There are a number of perspectives I would likè to share with yoUo When I think "wireless",
I think of cellular phones. The McCaw family springs to mind. ' I only~had part of that ,right. It
seems that as Congress auctionedo.ffpartofthe'radio spectrum, they made a requirement that, in
order to keep your license,' you had to, build out your system by the year 2000. Their purpose
was to make the U.S. have in place a wireless communication system NOW! It ~eemsthat the
bidders for these licenses are dQminantly producers of Personal Communications Services (PCS)
which translates to "cellular phones". But, there is a difference between the technology of the
McCaw's and these new PCS units. To the user, there is no difference. But, to the builder,
there is a big one. The PCS units are digitally-based. Without getting technical, the significant
point to cities is that they require rougWy twice as many towers or antennae locations as the older
cell phone technology.
Since the wireless license holders need locations immediately in order to keep their licenses,
there are a number of issues which must be addressed.
I. You cannot refuse to grant tower locations. You can restrict, but not refuse to grant
any franchise. And whatever the rules and charges for that franchise, they must be the
same for everybody. So, you will be "under the gun" soon, if not already, to grant a
franchise (we are in a temporary moratorium to assure common codes).
2. One strategy is to restrict the areas where poles and towers can be locatedo But, they
are tall. If you try to force co-location of carriers on one pole, frequently the towers
must exceed 100 feet. And, they are "thick". It seems that both cellular and CRS
units must transmit over coaxial wire, so each transmitter requires thick bundles of
wire to connect. Put three carriers on one pole and you have a thick tower probably
120 feet tall.

A RESOLUTION of the City of
Washington, establishing a policy that recognizes the need for
regional planning of certain wireless technology concerns and
authorizing staff to meet with other South County
jurisdictions to develop a regional master plan to regulate the
development and construction of wireless telecom-
munications facilities.
WHEREAS, recent changes in wireless communications technology have
created a new competitive private business market aimed at providing various fonus of
wireless telephone service to the citizens of
region; and
and the greater South County
WHEREAS, businesses trying to capitalize on this new technology and the
market forces that the technology is affecting have been and continue to submit an
unprecedented number of land use and development applications to establish wireless
telecommunications facilities within the City's corporate limits; and
WHEREAS, many of these facilities involve the construction of antenna'
towers ranging from sixty to one hundred fifty feet in height; and

.i .
WHEREAS, the exact location of these antennas is detennined in part by the
number and location of other antennas in the area that are linked to the system each antenna
is established to serve; and
WHEREAS, in order to provide absolute coverage, without any blackout
areas, some of these antennas may need to be erected in residential neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, in order to preserve the existing character of neighborhood
residential communities, the City must take all appropriate steps to reduce the impacts caused
by these wireless telecommunication facilities on those residential neighborhoods, by means
such as use of existing facilities, co-location on towers, reduced tower heights or height
restrictions, etc.; and
WHEREAS, because of their height and location, these antennas and other
facilities, without appropriate land use and development controls, can impact the character,
nature, and aesthetics of local neighborhoods and communities; and
WHEREAS, because of the unprecedented number of development pennit
applications that the City has received, it is appropriate that the City review, analyze, and
determine the appropriate land use and development regulations for the siting of these
wireless telecommunications facilities; and
WHEREAS, it is additionally appropriate that City staff coordinate its efforts
with the efforts being taken by other communities in the South County region so that all
cities, working together, can develop a consistent master plan for the siting, development,
and construction of these wireless telecommunications facilities so as to provide a
predictable framework for the cities, their residents, and the various telecommunications
providers.

SECTION 1: The foregoing recitals and findings are incorporated into the
body of this resolution as if fully stated herein.
technology
developments
m
the
wireless
SECTION 2: New
telecommunications industry present new challenges to the City of
. It is
appropriate that the City review and understand the impact of this technology on our
community and our citizens.
SECTION 3: Without appropriate land use and development controls, the
siting of wireless telephone facilities, specifically including towers, poses a serious threat to
the public health, safety and welfare, particularly within residential areas. Accordingly, it
.
is appropritate to consider all means and methods available that would achieve the goal of
reducing impacts on residential neighborhoods, such as using existing facilities, co-locating
facilities, and establishing height limitations.
SECTION 4: Because the telecommunications
business providers
constructing these facilities site their communication facilities on a regional rather than
individual city basis, it is appropriate that the City of
coordinate its efforts with
other South County cities to develop an effective' regional master plan that provides

Personal communication services (PCS) are digital wireless telephone
technology such as portable phones, pages, faxes and computers. With
this mobile technology, consumers will be able to use the same telephone
number wherever they go.
Before the emergence ofPCS technology, most people identified the
wireless telephone industry with cellular telephone services. Personal
communications services opens up another avenue of opportunity for
providers and local government.
Companies are spending millions of dollars simply to have the right (via
an FCC auction) to provide PCS service. Eventually three to six PCS
providers will be located in a metropolitan market, in addition to cellular
telephone companies.
Industry providers throughout the country are already placing their
facilities on both public and private property, and activating their
networks.

What does a wireless
communications
ordinance do?
. Provides specific regulations
for the placement, construction
and modification of personal
wireless telecommunications
facilities.
. Makes sure that the
regulations do not have the
effect of prohibiting the
provision of wireless services.
. Reiterates that wireless
telephone facilities may
include, for example, antennas,
towers, equipment cabinets
and other related structures.
. Applies the regulations so that
they do not unreasonably
discriminate between providers
of functionally equivalent
services.
. Supplements the provisions
of your existing city code or
zoning ordinances.
The federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 preserved the rights of
local governments to regulate the placement, construction and
modification of personal wireless service facilities. Contrary to the
objections of several industry providers, Congress preserved the
rights of local governments to retain their local zoning authority
regarding tower placement.
However, a local government cannot unreasonably discriminate
among providers of functionally equivalent services, or prohibit or
have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless
services.
It was Congress' intent that local governments not create artificial
barriers to entry for the wireless telephone industry. However,
Congress also intended to preserve local governments' right to
oversee the placement of wireless telephone service facilities (such as
towers) to maintain comprehensive and workable zoning standards.
A local government needs to act on a request for authorization to
place, construct, or modify personal wireless service facilities within
a reasonable period oftime, taking into account the nature and scope
of the request. A denial of a request must be in writing and supported
by substantial evidence which is to be contained in a written recordo
The 1996 Act does contain restrictions upon the authority of a local
government to regulate the placement, construction, and modification
of personal wireless service facilities. These restrictions are based on
the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions if those
facilities already comply with the FCC's regulations concerning such
emissions.
A denial of a request must be in
writing and supported by substantial
evidence which is to be contained.
in a written record.

AWC TELECOM ADVISORY
Consider the following items in drafting your personal
wireless service facilities ordinance:
. Definitions - The ordinance will need to contain a list of
definitions which addresses matters such as antennas, antenna support
structures, cell sites and towers.
. The document could contain an overall statement of policy
regarding siting requests which are being received by the city council.
Some ordinances have included statements of policy which address
items such as encouraging the location of towers in nonresidential
areas. Another community goal may be to minimize the proliferation
of towers by encouraging the use of new and existing tower sites
(co location). Adverse visual impacts upon a community need to be
minimized.
At the same time, the ordinance needs to have the requisite flexibility
to encourage providers to offer wireless services throughout the city
quickly and efficiently. Communications providers will need multiple
sites for coverage if they are to create an effective and workable
wireless telecommunications network. It will also be important for the
providers to protect residential areas from adverse impactso
. Industry site selection criteria need to be taken into considerationo
Industry providers will need to find locations which will fit within
their grid system as far as topography and placement are concerned.
They will need to have suitable ingress and egress to and from their
facilities and have electric power available for their equipment. The
providers should also provide adequate screening and landscaping to
satisfy aesthetic concerns of citizens in the community.
. Industry providers should be required to demonstrate that their
facilities must be placed in a proposed location in order to satisfy
their grid system. The companies should demonstrate by
technological evidence that the height of the facilities they are
requesting is the minimum height necessary to fulfill the cell site's
function.
continued
Things to think about ...
Each municipality needs to
carefully assess its own unique
circumstances. Municipal officials'
opinions may differ on the
placement of wireless
communications facilities.
. Does the local government
want to encourage providers to
use public or private property
for the placement of their
facilities?
. What sort of compensation
is the local government interested
in receiving if the facilities are
placed on public property?
. Should colocation be
encouraged among the
providers?
. What sort of aesthetic
considerations are important
in your particular jurisdiction?

. The providers should be prepared to demonstrate that the towers
and antennas they are constructing are not being built on a
speculative basis, but instead are immediately needed for the proper
functioning of their system.
. Remedies need to be included in the model wireless
communications ordinance in the event of noncompliance. Those
remedies need to be cumulative and could include, subject to
applicable law, damages or injunctive relief.
. A severability clause should be included in the document in the
event that any part of it is later found to be invalid by a court or
agency of competent jurisdiction.
Talk to other cities ...
How have they deployed wireless communications facilities?
Meet with your city or town attorney...
Ask them to research federal and state law, and draft the
provisions which best meet your particular needs.
(During the 1996 legislative session, Washington adopted
provisions pertaining to wireless communications, including
applications which relate to the siting of certain personal wireless
service facilities.)
Start drafting your ordinance
now so that you are prepared to
handle applications from the
wireless industry.

. What else do cities need to consider?
Colocation of equipment and facilities is highly desirable
from a community standpoint.
If competitors in the wireless communications industry are willing to
co locate onto existing and new facilities, this decreases the towers
which would remain as stand-alone facilities. Industry providers are
often reluctant to co locate for two reasons: They do not want to give a
competitive advantage to another entrant into the marketplaceo And,
they have a concern regarding possible frequency interference.
Other communities have found that co location can benefit both the
providers and local governments. Co location allows industry
providers to more quickly deploy their equipment and actually put
their wireless communications service network into operation faster
and with a cost savings. From the local government's perspective,
co location has aesthetic advantages.
Design criteria need to be carefully addressed by
each jurisdiction. '.
What will be the setback requirement in a particular zoning district?
What color should the communications towers be so that they are less
noticeable? Will the towers require signals or lights?
Municipalities also need to be aware that antenna facilities of wireless
communications providers need ancillary equipment. These
equipment cabinets can vary in size and dimension. Adequate
provisions in the ordinance need to be included to provide for
landscaping or fencing of the ancillary buildings or equipment.
Wireless facilities need to be in compliance with all federal.
state and local requirements.
The facilities need to be structurally capable for their intended
purposes. Adequate safety measures need to be taken.
Antenna criteria varies from one community to another.
Some communities encourage providers to place their antennas flush
on the wall of a building and not project above the roof. Other
jurisdictions allow industry providers to extend a certain number of
feet above the rooftop of a building, dependent upon the zoning
district.
The equipment should be designed to make it compatible with
surrounding buildings and uses, Existing vegetation and topography
should be preserved to the maximum extent possible.

Where to find more info ...
Where can cities find out more
about wireless communi-
cations services?
The Municipal Research and
Services Center's web page
contains several examples of
ordinances and agreements:
(http://www.mrsc.org)
The visual appearance of historic districts needs to be
protected.
Requests for antenna or tower placement in such areas should be very
carefully monitored.
Interference caused by the facilities of a wireless
communications provider should not be allowed.
The provider should be responsible for the elimination of all
interference with any other communications signals.
Local governments should maintain the right to inspect the
facilities of the wireless communications providers.
Landscaping should be required to screen as much of the support
structure as is reasonably possible. If the industry providers and the
cities work together, positive steps can be taken to minimize the
adverse visual impact of PCS facilities.
To adequately monitor the placement and types of wireless facilities
within the boundaries of a city or town, detailed application
requirements need to be contained in the model wireless
communications facilities ordinance. The application could include:
. A site plan, which clearly delineates the location, type and
height of the proposed tower.
. Area maps showing the location of the proposed facilities.
. A description of the parcel.
. A landscape plan.
. Fencing describing in detail the color and type of materials to
be used.
. A certification of the applicant that the tower will comply
with all applicable federal, state and local standards and
regulations.
. Whether the tower can accommodate colocation of additional
antennas.

. A statement by the telecommunications company that it
holds a valid license as required by state or federal law.
. A description of how the proposed site fits into the
applicant's overall network.
. All other materials necessary for the city to properly evaluate
the applicant's request.
Communities in Washington and elsewhere have considered or
actually adopted a moratorium for a finite amount of time to allow
themselves to address the complexities raised by the placement of
personal wireless service facilities.
For example, Medina adopted a six-month moratorium on the issuance
of permits for additional wireless communications facilities. That
moratorium was challenged by Sprint Spectrum, LP., in federal
district Court in Seattle. The court indicated the moratorium which
w~ adopted by Medina suspended the issuance of permits and not the
processing of applications. Further, the court said Medina was trying
to act in a careful !TIanner and give itself time to gather information.
If your community is considering adopting a moratorium, it is very
important that you consult with your city or town attorney and
carefully review the 1996 Act, the court's decision in the Medina case
and other relevant federal and state legislationo A moratorium,
regardless of how it is structured, may lead to litigation.

So 356th Regional Storm Water Control Facility - Bid Award
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Background:
On April 24, 1997, the City received fourteen bids from various contractors for the above
referenced project. The low-bid contractor for this project is Porter Brothers Construction, Inc.,
with a total bid amount of $1,738,701.47. This bid amount is 7% lower than the average bid of
the next three lowest bidders combined and $4,172.00 less than the engineer's estimated
construction cost for this project (see attached bid tabulations).
Based on the reference checks completed by the City's Surface Water Management division and
KCM, Inc., the City's design contractor on this project, there is no known reason why this low
bidder should not be able to successfully complete this project.
The project budget status is as follows:
Council Authorized Budget
$3,291,923.00*
Estimated Project Costs
$3,576,753.00
Estimated Project Shortfall
$ 284,830.00
*This amount includes $717,000.00 contn'buted toward the project by WDOT as part of a joint venture to provide stann
water quality and quantity control for their SR161 improvements.
Estimated project cost includes the following:
Design
$ 204,727.00
Acq uisition
$1,189,455.00
Construction:
Underground Utility Conversion
Construction Management
Construction
$ 120,000.00
$ 150,000.00
$1,912,571.00 (includes 10% contingency)
Total Costs
$3,576,753.00
The estimated project shortfall is a result of a settlement agreement reached between the City and
Everspring, Inc., during the property acquisition phase of the project. The estimated costs of the
Everspring parcel's acquisition was exceeded by the actual settlement price by $335,487.00.
Note that in order to proceed with construction of this project a Council approved budget
adjustment in the amount of $284,830.00 will be necessary.
Recommendations:
Staff recommends that the project budget be amended by a budget increase in the amount of
$284,830.00. Staff recommends the award of this project to the lowest responsive, responsible
bidder, Porter Brothers Construction, Inc., in the amount of $1,738,701.47, and that a 10%
construction contingency totaling $173,870.15 be established for the project. Staff recommends
that this matter be placed on the May 6, 1997 City Council meeting business agenda for their
consideration.

.MR WATKINS, l~ GJ1T~ & ¡~~ GINTZ
SUB:Minutes of April 7th,1997 meating (Summary) Section 4 F. BRIEFING
ON BELLA CARINO WOODS SURFACE .i"TEn ?ROBLE4"1S.
I am concerned that the MIl~T]s do not reflect what was discussed
during the meeting. I am concerned that the following items that
occured during the~are not in the minutes:
M~i!'Ï/Vr;..
1. Mr Thode's explanation as to why the calculations used to determine
the size of the retention pond were incorrect. The City records
are in conflict, in some pl~ces they state that the retention pond
should be 3 times larger than it is.
2. Mr Thode's comment as to the fact that the overflow drain appears
at 306' on the preliminary plat, not the 319í' that it is inatalled at.
3. Mr Thode's comment that the retention pond infiltration rate was
not based on 7 day rainfall data, but on 1 day rginfall èata. The
design did not indicate 7 day storm calculations in accordance
with King County Design Standards.
4. Mr Roe's comments after Mr Pratt's briefing to the effect that they
(the City) foresaw the present problem and that was the reason for
the briefing.
5. ¡~ Roe's comment to l~ clottershead that no drainage pipe had been
removed, therefor removal of drainage pipe was not the reason for
flooding on the 357th side of SW 356th.
6. lvir aoe's comment to the council members that they (The City) were
most open with ¡~ Mottershead and myself, giving us all the data and
information that we wanted. When challanged by me that it took over
six weeks to get the information, his response was: "There were
Bome delays caused by "CLAIlw1S AGAINST THE CITY". T[lis was supported
by Mr Sterbank. When I challanged l<1r Sterbank that there were not
CLAIlw1S but ONE CLAIM that the city couldn't give me the status of.
Mr Sterbank did not respond.
c."."'f\.w\t!,.,¡T
7. Mr Roe'sAthat they ( The City) had invited ~~ Mottershead and my-
self down to city hall to discuss the Bellacarino Woods development/
problems and that they had given us all the drawings we wanted.
8. Mr Gintz statement that the City had a similar flooding problem
once before at Fisher's Pond and ended up buying the house.
9. Mr Gintz statement that under current rules, the city would not
let lvir parke build a house where his is located now. I question
why the city is letting Bellacarino Woods build tlomes below t,tle
319t' level of the retention pond overflow pipe.
10. 1-1r Gintz question to ¡-II' Thad e 8S to why during the orlgional
hearing on Bellacarino \'ioods, did lw1r Thode Btandup and withdraw
his objections to the development? And- :~ Thode's response that
the reason he wittldrew his objections were because he was assured
by the city ( lvir Roe) and the Bellacarino \'¡oods engineers that the
water level would not change from the existing level. IZ: would
not increase.
11. Mr Roe's statem3nt that the retention pond has been scraped to in~
prove infiltration, Bellacarino ~oods engineers have du3 additional
test holes and that the pond my have to be scraped again. (Certalnly
confirm/ recognize that ther~is a problem)
12. Mr ?rattls disagreement with ~r Thode's comment concerning the
306' level ap~earing anywhere and his statement that 3192' ~as the
figure on the final drawings.
13. Mr Pratt's statement that infiltration figures were not taken into
account in the retention ponds sizing. ( 7 day infiltration rates
should hve been)
14. Mr Pratts explanation on 1 day vs 7 day data and that 1 day rain
data was used and that the retention pond was over excavated based
on 1 day storm data.
15. Mr Prattls inference that l~ Parke's home and property and other
property in the closed depression ( the one shaded in red on the
map used during the briefing) would be needed through Durchase or
easment to construct a storm retention facility to help solve the
Bellacarlno Woods Surface water problem.
16. The general impression from the council members that they ( the City)
were not responsible for the approval of the Bellacarino Woods
project. But it was kind of shoved on them by King County and the]
were stuck with the package.
17. Para 4, F. BRIEFIl~G ON B~LilCActIHO \iOODS SURl;~nCE T~.nTE.:ì ..?ROBLEiv1:
Copy attached. You will notice in the paragraph summary there is
no mention of the fact that 1'4r Pratt did give a briefing. He also
showed a map with the area being flooed shaded in red. This was
called a "Closed depression". We now have at least 3 closed depre[Eions
mentioned with Belleracano Woods w~ich results in confusion. The
depression discussed by 1'4r ?ratt 1s not the depression referred to
in the Bellacarino Woods Dlat data nor is it the 11th Ave deDresslo~.
It is property east of the Bellacarino Woods. Even a "SUl~~RŸ" of
minutes should at least mention that there waB a briefi~g.
The real point which seemed to be missed in Mr Pratt's briefing on
Bellacarlno Woods Surface Water ?roblem is: If then:ls a problem (and
the~is) and the city is aware of it (and it is as indicated by the need
for a briefing) why is Surf&ce Water Management preping the council that
a request for funding is on the way for 1999 1 There is still a Bond
against Bellacarino Woods and the city has documentation in the Brown &
Caldwell r6port that Bellacarino Woods is responsible for 30 % of the
flooding, 11th Ave depression responsible for 15% (im~acted by Bellacarino
Woods) and future developments (SilverWood etc) responsible for 54%
The city is only responsible for 1%. See attached report. The city should
not pay. We know who is responsible, that'Swho should pay.
How do I get the minutes ammended ?
PS: Bellacarino Woods has a 2nd retention pond at about m¡ 353 & 4th SW
that also overflows and floods vacant land to the east. \~-ater from S'o'l 353
street dra ins, dump directly onto the.
vacant land-bYDassing the ~ond.
