COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT — PLANNING DIVISION
Natalie Kamieniecki, 253-835-2638, natalie.kamieniecki@cityoffederalway.com
1. Zoning Designation and Density — The site is zoned RS-15.0 (Single -Family Medium -Density Residential, one
unit/15,000 square feet.). Lots in the RS 15.0 zone must be a minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet.
Per FWRC 19.05.120, lot area means the minimum lot area per dwelling unit based on the underlying
zone. For single-family lots, the area of a vehicular access easement, private tract, flagpole, or access
panhandle shall not be credited in calculation of the minimum lot area.
2. Review Process — A subdivision of ten or more lots and/or tracts requires review and public hearing on the
preliminary plat application by the city's Hearing Examiner. In summary, following application submittal,
the city will review the application for completeness and technical comments. The first procedural
decision point is the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review and determination. Following conclusion
of the SEPA review, city staff will present the staff report and recommendation on the preliminary plat to
the Hearing Examiner, who then makes the final decision on the preliminary plat application. The
Hearing Examiner's written decision on the preliminary plat is based on the applicant satisfying criteria
pursuant to FWRC 18.35.170(3). The decision of the Hearing Examiner may be appealed pursuant to
FWRC 18.35.210. After the final decision on the preliminary plat, engineering plans must be submitted
and reviewed by the city's Public Works Department. Following review and approval of engineering
plans, construction of plat infrastructure may begin. Substantial completion of plat improvements is
required prior to final plat review and decision by the City Council as described below.
3. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) — The proposed subdivision is not categorically exempt from
environmental review pursuant to Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 197-11-800, and is subject to a
threshold determination. A completed environmental checklist must be submitted with the Master Land
19-105814-00-PC e Doc 1D:80040
Mr. Paul Green

Use application. A thoroughly completed checklist that gives comprehensive answers to each item will
expedite the review process. The public, government agencies, and tribes will be invited to comment on
the checklist during a 14-day comment period. An environmental threshold determination made by the
director must be rendered prior to public hearing on the preliminary plat application.
4. Application / Review.Fees — Contact staff at the Permit Center at City Hall (253-835-2607 or
perme.tcent c,citoffederalwa �.co n)to inquire about application fees in place at the time of application
submittal. Also, any third -party reviews by city consultants for review and assistance with geologically
hazardous and wetland/stream consultants must be pre -funded and paid by the applicant.
5. Environmentally Critical Areas— The project is in proximity to erosion hazard areas and wetland and fish
and wildlife critical area indicators. The application must include a report confirming the presence or
absence of regulated critical areas on site. If regulated critical areas are present on site, appropriate critical
area studies standards of FWRC 19.145.080 and necessary permitting applications related to each critical
area feature are applicable to the preliminary plat. Any third -party reviews by city consultants for review
and assistance with geologically hazardous and wetland stream consultants must be pre -funded and paid
by the applicant.
6. Public Notice — The preliminary plat and SEPA review require a notice of application. The applicant will be
responsible for supplying a map and list of all properties within 300 feet of the subject property. Three
sets of stamped mailing envelopes for each property owner with the department's return address must
accompany the map and list. The applicant will also be required to pay for and post city supplied large
notice boards at the appropriate times.
7. Design Criteria and Improvements — Subdivisions are subject to the subdivision design and improvements
criteria set forth in FWRC Chapters 18.55 and 18.60, respectively. It is the responsibility of the applicant
to identify how the proposed subdivision meets applicable design and improvements criteria and is
therefore, entitled to the land division.
8. Miscellaneous Residential Regulations —
a) Maximum height of structures is 30 feet above average building elevation.
b) Setbacks for structures are minimum 20-foot front yard and 5-foot side and rear.
c) Maximum lot coverage is 50 percent.
d) Required parking spaces are a minimum of two per dwelling unit.
e) Driveway and/or parking pad may not be closer than five feet to any side property line.
9. Open Space — All residential subdivisions are required to provide open space in the amount of 15 percent
of the gross land area of the subdivision site per FWRC 18.55.060(2). A minimum of 10 percent of the
open space is required to be usable open space, i.e. appropriate for active recreation areas. Additionally,
any onsite open space must be set aside in a tract and owned in common undivided interest by all
property owners within the subdivision. All or some of the open space requirement may be satisfied by a
fee -in -lieu payment at the discretion of the city's Parks Director, after consideration of the city's overall
park plan, quality, location, and service area of the open space that would otherwise be provided with the
Doc ID:80040
19-105514-00-PC
Mr. Paul Green

project. The fee in lieu of open space is calculated on 15 percent of the most recent assessed land value
of the property. If the fee -in -lieu option is chosen, a written request to Parks Director John Hutton is
required. A copy of this request is a required component of the preliminary plat application.
Usable open space design size and location options, along with provisions for access, improvements,
ownership, and maintenance, will be reviewed in conjunction the with review of the preliminary plat.
Critical areas and buffers, conservation tracts, slopes, storm pond tracts, etc. do not qualify as usable
open space.
Typically, a narrow (three to five -foot -wide) landscape buffer strip is required between streets and above
ground stormwater facilities, and may be counted toward the buffer open space.
Please consult FWRC 18.55.060 for specific open space requirements that apply to the proposal.
10. Forest Practices — A Forest Practices Class IV -General Application is required if more than 5,000 board feet
of merchantable timber will be harvested from the property in conjunction with the development activity.
The city will review the proposed Class IV -General Forest Practices in conjunction with SEPA review,
and review of associated development permits or approvals.
11. Tree Retention/Replacement— The city's tree standards require each development/redevelopment to
maintain a tree unit density. The minimum tree density requirements for RS zones are 25 tree units per
acre. The required density for the subject property will be determined by multiplying the gross site
acreage, minus streets and critical areas, by 25. A tree retention plan detailing how the subject property
will meet tree unit density requirements shall be submitted with the preliminary plat application. Items
required to be included in the plan are itemized in FWRC 19.120.040(2)(a) through (e). The table below

Land Use Issues — Stormwater
1. Surface water runoff control and water quality treatment will be required per the 2016 King County Surface
Water Design Manual (KCSWDM). This project meets the requirements for a Full Drainage Review. At the
time of preliminary short plat submittal, a preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR), addressing
the relevance of the project to the nine core and five special requirements of the KCSWDM will be
required. A Level 1 downstream analysis shall also be provided in the preliminary TIR. The city has 1" _
100', five-foot contour planimetric maps in GIS format that may be used for basin analysis.
2. The project lies within a conservation flow control area; thus, the applicant must design the flow control
facility to meet this performance criteria. In addition to flow control facilities, Best Management Practices
(BMP's) are required as outlined in the KCSWDM. The project also lies within an Enhanced Basic Water
Quality Area. Water quality treatment shall be designed to meet the treatment criteria of the Enhanced
Basic Water Quality Menu.
3. If infiltration is proposed, soil logs prepared by a licensed geotechnical engineer or septic designer must
be provided to verify infiltration suitability.
4. Detention and water quality facilities for short plats and subdivisions must be above ground (i.e. open
pond). Underground facilities are allowed only with approval from the City of Federal Way Public Works
Department. Storm facilities for subdivisions must be set aside in a separate tract for dedication to the
city. Short plat storm facilities remain private.
5. Show the proposed location and dimensions of the detention and water quality facilities on the
preliminary plans.
6. If more than one acre will be disturbed during construction, a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) construction storm water permit may be required. Information regarding this permit
can be obtained from the Washington State Department of Ecology at 360-407-6048, or
littp://� ecywa go, v/.programs/%vci/stormw,iter/construction/index.litinI.
7. If work is to be done below the ordinary high-water mark, a Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) permit
may be required. Information regarding this permit can be obtained from the Washington Department of
Fish and Wildlife.
Right -of -Way Improvements
1. See the Traffic Division comments from Senior Transportation Planning Engineer Sarady Long for
traffic related items.
2. Dedication of additional right-of-way is required to install street frontage improvements. The dedication
shall be conveyed to the city through a statutory warranty deed. The dedicated area must have clear title
prior to recording.

February 25, 2020
3. All stormwater treatment and detention requirements outlined above may apply to any improvements
within the public right-of-way.
4. FWRC Section 19.135.280 requires that driveways serving residential uses may not be located closer than
25 feet to any street intersection. Lots and intersections within new subdivisions or short plats must be
designed to meet this standard.
Building (or EN) Permit Issues
1. Engineered plans are required for clearing, grading, road construction, and utility work. Plans must be
reviewed and approved by the city. Engineering review fees are $2,098.00 for the first 12 hours of review,
and $172.00 per hour for additional review time. A final TIR shall be prepared for the project and
submitted with the engineering plans. Both the TIR and the plans will require the signature/seal of a
professional engineer registered/licensed in the State of Washington.
2. In addition to engineering approval, projects that will be filling or grading in the area of the future
building pads are required to obtain a separate grading permit from the Building Division.
3. to assist the applicant's engineer in preparing the plans and TIR, the Federal Way Public Works Development
Standards Manual (including standard detail drawings, standard notes, and engineering checklists) is
available on the city's website at htt : w�ciwoEfedualway.com/index..Rs[2\?nid--:-; 17 1.
4. Bonding is required for all street improvements and temporary erosion and sediment control measures
associated with the project. The bond amount shall be 120 percent of the estimated costs of the
improvements. An administrative fee deposit will need to accompany the bond to cover any possible
legal fees in the event the bond must be called. Upon completion of the installation of the improvements,
and final approval of the Public Works Inspector, the bond will be reduced to 30 percent of the original
amount and held for a two-year maintenance period.
The developer will be responsible for the maintenance of all storm drainage facilities (including the
detention and water quality facilities) and street systems during the two-year maintenance period. During
that time, the Public Works Inspector will make periodic visits to the site to ensure the developer's
compliance with the maintenance requirements. Upon satisfactory completion of the two-year
maintenance period, the remainder of the bond will be released. Maintenance for public roads and
subdivision drainage facilities then become the responsibility of the City. Maintenance for private roads
and drainage facilities, including short plats, remain the responsibility of the individual property owners.
6. When topographic survey information is shown on the plans, the vertical datum block shall include the
phrase "DATUM: N.G.V.D.-29" or "DATUM: K.C.A.S.," on all sheets where vertical elevations are
called out.
7. Drawings submitted for plan review shall be printed on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" paper. Site plans shall be
drawn at a scale of 1" = 20', or larger. Architectural scales are not permitted on engineering plans.
S. Provide cut and fill quantities on the clearing and grading plan.
9. Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control (TESC) measures, per Appendix D of the 2016 KCSWDM,

Sarady Long, 253-835-2743, sarady.longod eityoffederalway.com}
Transportation Concurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90)
1. Based on the submitted materials for two Single Family Detached Housing, and the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation - 10th Edition, land use code 210 (Single Family Detached
Housing), the proposed project is estimated to generate approximately 12 new weekday PM peak hour
trips and 136 daily trips.
2. A concurrency permit is required for this development project. The PW Traffic Division will perform a
concurrency analysis to determine if adequate roadway capacity exists during the weekday PM peak
period to accommodate the proposed development. Please note that supplemental transportation analysis
and concurrency mitigation may be required if the proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in
the six -year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP).
3. The estimated fee for the concurrency permit application is $5,086 (11 — 50 PM trips). This fee is an
estimate and based on the materials submitted for the preapplication meeting. The concurrency
application fee must be paid in full at the time the concurrency permit application is submitted with the
land use application. The fee may change based on the new weekday PM peak hour trips as identified in
the concurrency trip generation. The applicant has the option of having an independent traffic engineer
prepare the concurrency analysis consistent with city procedures; however, the fee remains the same.
Transportation Impact Fees (TIF) (FWRC 19.91)
Based on the submitted materials for one new single-family lot, the estimate traffic impact fee is $46,800.
The total amount of the impact fees will be assessed and collected from the applicant when the building
permit is issued, using the fee schedule then in effect. The applicant may request, at any time prior to
building issuance, to defer the payment of the impact fee to final building inspection. If this option is
selected, a covenant prepared by the city to enforce payment of the deferred fees will be recorded at the
applicant's expense on each lot. Please refer to the defer payment of impact fee code for process.
Street Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135)
The applicant/owner will be expected to construct street improvements consistent with the planned
roadway cross -sections as shown in Map III-4 in Chapter III of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan
(FWCP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) shown as Table III-10 (FWRC 19.135,040). Based on
the materials submitted, staff conducted a limited analysis to determine the required street improvements.
The applicant will be expected to construct improvements on the following streets to the city's planned
roadway cross -sections:
■ Sixth Avenue SW is classified as a Minor Collector and planned as a Type "T" street, consisting of a
28-foot street, 8-foot ditch, 5-foot sidewalk, and street lights in 60-foot right-of-way. Assuming a
19-105814-00-PC Doc ID:80040
Mr, Paul Green
Page 9 of 12
February 25, 2020
symmetrical cross section, half street improvements are required as measured from the street
centerline. It appears the existing right-of-way will be adequate to accommodate the improvement.
0 Southwest 3661h Street is a planned as a Type "T" street, consisting of a 28-foot street 8-foot ditch, 5-
foot sidewalks and street lights in a 60-foot right-of-way. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, half
street improvements and a 30-foot right-of-way dedication are required as measured from the street
centerline. At a minimum, the improvement shall include a 20-foot minimum paved surface.
Alternatively, the applicant may the required improvement to match the cross-section to the east,
which is a Type "S" street consisting of a 36-foot street with curb and gutter, 4-foot planter strip
with street trees, 5-foot sidewalks, and street lights in a 60-foot right-of-way.
2. The applicant may make a written request to the Public Works Director to modify, defer, or waive the
required street improvements (FWRC 19.135.070). Information about right-of-way modification requests
are available through ,the Public Works Development Services Division. These modification requests
have a nominal review fee currently at $344, plus the recording fee.
3. Tapers and transitions beyond the project frontage may be required as deemed necessary for safety
purposes. The taper rate shall be WS2/60, or as directed by the Public Works Director.
Access Management (FWRC 19.135)
1. Access management standards are based on roadway safety and capacity requirements. FWRC 19.135.280
provides access standards for streets based on planned roadway cross -sections. Please note that access
classifications are per Drawing 3-1A in the Public Works Development Standards.
2. All lots shall be accessed by a public street right-of-way (FWRC 18.55.020). In certain cases, lots may be
accessed by an ingress/egress and utilities easement or alley, subject to the requirements established in
the City of Federal Way public works development standards.
3. The proposed private streets should be consolidated to provide one Type `V" street with a cul-de-sac bulb.
4. No street, or combination of streets, shall function as a cul-de-sac longer than 600 feet (FWRC 18.55.010).
