3. PUULIC COMMENT
There was no comment on any items not included in the agenda.
4. BUSINESS ITEMS
A, Soundin¡: Board - The Federal Way caucus of the Sounding Board presented a discussion of their objectives in restructuring
transit service in the Federal Way area. A forum for dialogue between the Council and the Sounding Board to share concerns
and set priorities was established. The "grid" route system is seen as providing better service than the c~~'qoOp" system.
The reduction of articulated buses on residential streets was desirable. Improving service to employment siitis" impacted by the
Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) law was identified as key. A need to strike a new balance between DiaL,A....Ride and fixed
route service to improve schedule reliability was identified. Future goals include coordination of intercommunity routes with
Pierce Transit.
B. Bond Issue/Prqject Update - In November 1995 the voters approved a bond issue for street improvemen~. The Committee
heard a report on those projects pending, completed, and under construction that are bond issue funded. A J;i,ghtt.urn; lane
from South 356th Street onto southbound Pacific Highway South (SR 99) was recently completed. Constrtiction: begán October
14, 1996, on the installation of a traffic signal, channelization, intersection lighting, and sidewalk improve~ents at SW 34Oth
and 35th Avenue SW, Construction of a traffic signal at SW Campus Drive and 6th Avenue SW will begin October 30, 1996,
The project includes a two-way left t\lJ;n lane at the intersection and extends to the Little League driveway to provide additional
left turn storage. Seven other street and traffic improvement projects funded by the bond issue are under design and life
scheduled for construction through 1998.
C. Comprehensive Plan Update/Public Notification/Fees - The Growth Management Act and HB 1724 provides that amendments
may be made to a comprehènsive plan, but no more often than once each year. All proposals shall also be considered by the
governing body concurrently so the cumulative effect of the various proposals can be ascertained. The Committee agreed that
the City of Federal Way should plan to review the Comprehensive Plan for possible update. Announcement of a Public
Hearing should be via typical legal notice. The Committee recommended charging fees to deter frivolous cases. It was the
Committee's request that staff return to the next meeting with steps for properly placing the advertisement and a fee schedule
for proposed amendments. , ......
D, Plannin¡: Commission Priorities - The Committee discussed at length the Planning Commission Work Plan for 1997. When
consensus was not reached, staff was asked to return to the November 4, 1996, meeting with a prioritized list grouping like
items together. The Committee asked also that staff research costs of consultants to assist in completing an expanded 1997
Work Plan. .

SW 336th Street Improvement Project from 21st Avenue SW to
26 Avenue SW - 30% Design Approval
BACKGROUND
The SW 336th Street Improvement Project from 21st Avenue SW to 26th Avenue SW was
financed as a part of the 1995 voter approved bond issue. The project will widen the street from
3 to 5 lanes, install 12 foot wide sidewalks, street trees, improved lighting, revise the existing
traffic signal and resolve the flooding problem that causes the road to be closed during heavy
rams.
The project is approximately 30% designed and right-of-way aquisition will be required at the
intersection of 21st Avenue SW. Two meetings were held with the property owners/tenants to
discuss the project and access control. From input received at these meetings we have developed
a recommended roadway design and access control plan. An Open House for the public is being
planned for approximately November 20, 1996. The 30% complete project plans will be
presented at the November 4, 1996 meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Place the following items on the November 19, 1996 Council Consent Agenda for approval:
1.
Approve the 30 % design and access control plans for the SW 336th Street Improvement
Project.
2.
Authorize staff to proceed with right-of-way acquisition for the project.

project will install a traffic signal to allow left turns, improve the right hand turn lane, provide
a signalized driveway into the Lakota Park, improve street lighting and intersection site distance.
The project is approximately 30% designed, right-of-way acquisition has been identified along SW
Dash Point Road. After approval of the 30% design plans, right-of-way acquisition and final
design will begin. The 30% complete project plans will be presented at the November 4, 1996
meeting.

RE:
1996 Surface Water Management Minor Capital Improvement Program - Small
Works Roster Bids
Back2round:
A.J3 a part of its 1996 Minor Capital Improvement program the Surface Water Management
division requested bids of five different small works roster contractors on three separate proposed
minor capital improvement projects. As the total bid amount is in excess of $20,000.00, we are
seeking the Council's authorization to award the bid to the lowest responsive responsible bidder.
The three minor capital improvement projects are:
1.
. At 1st Avenue South and approximately S317th (near the fire station) - a culvert capacity
upgrade which is the first phase required to reduce the ffequency of flooding across 1 st
Avenue. The second phase of this work will be presented for your consideration later this
month,
(
2.
At 1st Avenue South and approximately S352nd (near the ent'fance to Emerald Forest
apartments) - a culvert capacity upgrade which will reduce the frequency of flooding
across 1st Avenue,
3,
In the Twin Lakes subdivision near 31410 36th Avenue Southwest - abandonment of an
existing failed stonn line (failed during the February 1996 stonns) and replacement with a
new, relocated line,
Only two of the potential bidders returned bids, only one of which was determined to be
responsive. Lloyd Enterprises, Inc. Is the responsive bidder with a bid of $102,260,36 which can
be itemized as follows:

Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment Process & Fees
October 25, 1996
---------------------------------------------------------------------
At the October 21 LUTC meeting the committee discussed the City's annual
comprehensive plan amendment process and specifically the public notification process
and whether a fee for privately initiated amendments would be charged. LUTC directed
staff to research fees being charged by other jurisdictions in the region and report back to
the committee.
Staff has contacted the following cities regarding this issues:
1,
Kent - charges $500 for comprehensive plan map requests that include a rezone,
SErA fee charged on top of the $500 fee.
2,
Renton - for comprehensive plan map requests that involve a rezone charge the full
fee for the rezone and Y:z the normal comprehensive plan fee. Renton uses a
sliding scale for the rezone fees, for instance a comprehensive plan map request
that involves a rezone that is less than 10 acres in size would cost the applicant
$2,700. This fee includes SErA. A comprehensive plan text request would cost
$1,000 and a SErA fee, if applicable.
3.
Tukwila - charges a flat $700 fee for comprehensive plan amendment (either map
or text), It has not been decided if a separate rezone fee will be charged in cases
where a rezone is included, Tukwila has not conducted a comprehensive plan
update at this point in time,
4.
Auburn - will charge a rezone fee of $250 plus a SEPA fee of $90 for a total of
$340, Auburn staff indicated that a fee study will be undertaken by the city early in
1997.
, -
Federal Way's Fee Resolution adopted in December 1995 does include a comprehensive
plan amendment fee. Given the fact that until the 1724 code amendments are adopted,

comprehensive plan amendments can only be initiated by planning commission, council
committee or city council this fee has never been used, The following are the related fees
from that ordinance:
1.
Comprehensive Plan - $500 + $50 per acre (assuming if the request involves a text
amendment and not a map amendment the $500 fee would be assessed).
2.
SEPA checklist - $900 + $45 Fire District administrative fee.
3.
Rezone Fees:
to RS zoning district - $450 + $250/acre up to a maximum of $11,000

to Commercial/Industrial - $900 + $1,200/acre up to a maximum of $18,500
Direction from LUTC regarding public notice of the comprehensive plan update was to use
the normal public notice procedures which would include legal notice in the newspaper,
posting city hall and posting the local libraries,
Action Requested
Recommendation to the full city council for a proposed fee amendment, if any, to the city's
fee resolution. Additionally, a recommendation to full council to adopt by motion the public
notice process for the annual comprehensive plan update.

Legislative Amendments
2,
1.
Wireless Communications Act (if land use regulation changes are necessary
to comply with this legislation, staff will comeback to the lUTC for
prioritization)
Potential legislation passed by the state in 1997 (land Use Study
Commission, etc,)
With the proposed reduction of two staff from the land Use Division, resources available
to the Planning Commission work program will depend primarily on three factors:
1.
2.
3.
land use permit activity;
Special project work including airport, annexation, economic development,
etc.);
Changes to the way the land Use planning group operates to free up more'
staff time.
Given these variables, staff concludes 1 through 6 can be completed during 1997. (Note:
Land Use & Transportation Committee (LUTC)
Page 3

also attached is a more detailed description of content for items 1 - 8) The LUTC asked
what additional code amendments could be completed with consultant funds of
approximately $100,000. Our recent experience with the Nonresidential Code Revisions
& Community Design Guideline project, which involved a consulting team, cost $50,000
to complete, Also, after discussions with Washington State Department of Community,
Trade and Economic Development staff estimates that the cost of the Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statements for the 348th and City Center subareas (item #2 under
comprehensive plan implementation) will be in the neighborhood of $100,000 to $250,000
each depending on the variables involved, depth of analysis and previous completed
environmental analysis for the areas. Item #1 under comprehensive plan implementation,
348th subarea plan, would also be very costly in terms of hours spent due to the nature
of such plans.
If we assume $100,000 in consultant funding, divided by $75 per hour for consultant
services (this would include overhead, etc.) that would result in 1,300 hours. Assuming
150 hours per code amendment, that would accomplish about eight of the code
amendments under comprehensive plan implementation excluding items #1 & 2. There
would also be staff time to administer and monitor the contracts.
Requested Action:
Recommendation on priorities for the 1997 planning commission work program to the full
city council.
