Greenline Business Park, 32901 Weyerhaeuser Way South, Federal Way
Dear Mr. LaBrie:
The Department of Community Development has conducted a cursory review of information you
submitted to the city on November 14, 2017, in order to determine if the application is complete for the
proposed Greenline Business Park Use Process IV and State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) reviews.
INCOMPLETE APPLICATION
During the course of the city's review, the following items were found to be missing or incomplete. In order
for your application to be considered complete and ready for processing, the items below must be provided.
• Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA)
• Noise Analysis
• Air Quality Analysis
• Visual Impact Analysis
• Washington State Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation Analysis as

PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL COMMENTS
During the City's review of the proposal for completeness, City staff noted a potential major issue
regarding stormwater drainage requirements as follows:
• Based on the information provided in the Technical Information Report (TIR), it appears this
project may meet the requirement for Large Project Drainage Review as outlined in the 2016
King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSVWDM Section 1.1.1, p. 1-12, AND meets the
following criteria):
The project would, at full buildout, result in 50 acres or more of new impervious surface
within a single subbasin or multiple subbasins that are hydraulically connected across
subbasin boundaries.
If so, then a Master Drainage Plan will need to be prepared per the requirements of Appendix
B of the KCSWDM. It is the applicant's responsibility to demonstrate that the project does
not meet the requirements of a Large Project Drainage Review.
Since the application is incomplete, a technical review of the proposal has not been conducted. A
complete technical review of the Process IV and SEPA applications will occur after all the missing items
are submitted. Technical review of the project will likely result in a request for amended or additional
technical information necessary to review the proposal.
Any resubmittals for this application must be accompanied with a resubmittal form (enclosed). After
receipt of the requested information noted in the incomplete application section of this letter, the
department will notify you within 14 days whether your application is considered complete for
processing, or what, if any, information is still needed. The review clock for processing your formal
application will not begin until all items are submitted.
Please contact me at jim.harris@cityoffederalway.com, or 253 835-2652, if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
in Harris
Planner
