2/23/01 5:25PM - - Spoke to Zaryn Sayer. He asked how could be appeal Heather's
letter denying the business to have a freestanding sign reviewed as a multi-tenant
complex. I review her letters with him, reminding him of the options noted, (1)
Remove, (2) Apply for a sign variance or (3) revise permit to propose sign for single
tenant occupant. He said that was unfair because he believed his site is multi-tenant. I
explained how it was determined that the site would be categorized as multi-tenant, The
city looked at entrances, employees, location of the research office vs. the real estate
office, exterior identification, etc. I said that I went to the site with Heather to review
those criteria and the manager in charge stated that she managed both the rental and the
real estate offices and that she interchanged from one to the other. She said there was
no real physical separation for the two businesses, however, she did point to the back
of the office where there was a pile of paper work stacked on a desk and she said that
she kept the rental research information back there. There was no visible distinction on
the interior of the office showing where the real estate business end and where the
rental research began. Furthermore, there was no indication on the exterior that there
are 2 businesses being operated at that building. Furthermore, the both businesses are
operated by the same person. Mr. Sayer stated that it was not a code requirement that
separate employees be required to operate separate businesses. I stated that the code
may state such a fact, however, the Director interprets and implements the code, as
such, it was decided, that these are the type of criteria we look at, in order to determine
whether a business should qualify for a bigger sign. Otherwise, all single tenant
businesses may get 2nd business licenses just to get larger signs.
Mr. Sayer stated that his next option would be to file lawsuit. I asked then, if he was
going to just keep the sign in place and ignore Heather's letter which gives a deadline
to take one of three actions to avoid the monetary penalty from being assessed. He
asked what other choice did he have. I stated that he could appeal the denial in a sign
variance to the hearing examiner. He said that he wanted to appeal without having to
pay the appeal fee. I said the fee could not be waived. He said he thought this was very
unfair. I told him that I understood his frustration, but reviewed his site again, asking
him, why, "if it is two different businesses, aren't there separate employee's, separate
entrances identifying which business is where, a distinction inside that separates the
two?". He said there were two different businesses there, but that he didn't believe
there has to be 2 different entrances, etc.
I stated that he had until March 7, 2001 to make a decision. I reminded him that if no
action is taken to address this issue, the monetary noted on the Notice and Order will be
automatically assessed.

Dear Mr. Sayre:
I am in receipt of your letter dated February 5, 2001. As stated in my letter dated January 25,
2001, the above referenced property does not meet the definition of a multiuse complex. Please
refer to my previous letter for the reasons for this decision.
As I am not able to approve your application for a multi-tenant sign, there are three options open
to you: (1)Revisions may be submitted to reflect that this is an application for a single tenant
sign, according to the requirements set out in my previous letter; (2) The existing nonconforming
- - sign may be removed; or(3) You may submit an application for a variance from the sign code.
Please be aware that staff will most likely not support a variance, based on the criteria
established by the zoning code. Please refer to the handouts on the variance process enclosed
with my previous letter. You must act upon one of these three options prior to March 7, 2001. If
none of these three actions have been taken by March 7, 2001, then the monetary penalty noted
on the Notice of Violation and Order to Correct Violation, case number 00-130617-000-00-VO
will be automatically assessed at the rate of$100 per day.
If you have any questions regarding these requirements, please call me at (253) 661-4594 or
Betty Cruz, Code Compliance Officer, at (253) 661-4017.

Re: Letter 1/25/01
Dear Ms. Smith and Ms. McClung:
We request reconsideration of your decision of denial of our building not meeting
the requirements of a multiuse complex.
The building does meet the city multiuse complex definition because it does have
entrances and exits for at least two companies. The building also has separate
restroom facilities for separate companies. There are currently, and has been since
1985, two companies displayed on the current sign. There are currently two
companies, separate corporations, in the building.
Sincerely,

RE: Permit#00-104986-000-00-SG; Zaran Sayre & Associates, Inc.,
30504 Pacific Hwy. S.
Dear Mr. Lee:
The above referenced permit was submitted to the City on October 3, 2000. I notified you by
phone on October 18, 2000 that the permit had been placed on hold because the sign area
proposed for the freestanding sign exceeds the sign area allowed. The sign area proposed for the
freestanding sign was 128 square feet for the total of all sign faces. The maximum sign area
permitted for a single tenant sign in this zone is 80 square feet for the total of all sign faces, with
no one face exceeding forty square feet.
Your request to have the site reviewed as a multi-tenant complex to be eligible for a larger sign is
hereby denied. The site does not meet the definition of a multiuse complex per Federal Way
City Code (FWCC) Section 22-1 (enclosed). A site inspection conducted on January 4, 2001
showed that there are not specific exterior entrances for different uses on the property.
Additionally, both Zaran Sayre& Associates and Rental Research, Inc. share office space and
have the same employees. Until last month, both Rental Research, Inc. and Zaran Sayre &
Associates were listed on the same business registration. Additionally, there is nothing on-site
which would indicate to the public that there are two separate businesses on the property. This
information was presented to Kathy McClung, the interim Director of Community Development,
and it was agreed that for the purposes of sign permit review this site is single tenant.
Please submit revised plans that reflect that the maximum sign area allowed is 80 square feet for
the total of all sign faces. Alternatively, you can apply for a variance to the sign code through
Process IV (handouts enclosed). To be eligible to apply for a variance, you would need to
demonstrate that the sign meets all six criteria in FWCC Section 22-1603 (enclosed).
