OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, CITY OF FEDERAL WAY D 0@29V2 NOV 0 8 2021 City Clerk's Office Cit of Federal Way IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF KING DAVID LEELAND MANN, Appellant, V. CITY OF FEDERAL WAY, Respondent. NO. NOTICE OF APPEAL INTRODUCTION AND ARGUMENT Appellant David L. Mann (hereinafter "the Aggrieved" or sometimes "Appellant"), respectfully appeals, pursuant Federal Way Revised Code ("FWRC") 19.50.060, the code interpretation issued by Respondent City of Federal Way ("City") under FWRC Title 19 et seq., in response to the Aggrieved's formal objection to an immediately adjacent property owner's attached, Accessory Dwelling Unit ("ADU"). 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Appellant hereby moves the governing administrative body or administrative law judge to immediately strike the language improperly added to the code and enforce the ordinance in accord with the intent and spirit of the law. The implications of the City's stark dereliction of duty and failure to protect its citizens from unchecked growth are profound and far-reaching: The density that will invariably result from that interpretation will cause irrecoverable and deleterious changes to our City. In direct repudiation of the Aggrieved's legitimate protestations against violations of the local ordinance and Appellant's attached, formal objection to the immediately adjacent property owners' unlawful application for a "Legal Nonconforming ADU Permit", Respondent City Of Federal Way has elected to improperly interpret FWRC code provisions governing attached ADUs so as to effectively indemnify the City outright, and ensure that its bureaucrats and agents have cause to deny any accountability whatever for the enforcement of the code at issue, to the detriment of the property rights of its own citizens, with whose protection the City of Federal Way has been charged under the plain language of that ordinance. Respondent's improper and defiant attempt to insert into the statutory framework language not contemplated by the drafters of the ordinance results in an abrogation of the City's responsibility to the citizenry is squarely opposed to and in direct contravention of. 1) The plain language of the code; and 2) The spirit and purpose of the drafters— who intentionally included language requiring off-street parking for any ADU very same density problem at issue here. with the express purpose of addressing the With the arrival of the light rail, the seemingly endless nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the larger, continuing homelessness issues facing Federal Way and all of Western Washington, we stand at a pivotal crossroads in the history of our fair City: By ignoring 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 unchecked growth, the City has turned its back on its own citizens and invited landlords to convert single family residences into de facto multi -family apartment complexes without limitation. In doing so, the City willfully encroaches on the peaceful enjoyment and quiet solitude of its citizenry— recognized property rights— the access to which have been justifiably relied upon by the residents of Federal Way since the time of the ordinance's inception. IMPACT ON APPELLANT The Aggrieved is an owner of a small beach cottage commonly known as 302 S.W. 292nd St., Federal Way, in a row of what were orignally 11 small homes on 25ft.-wide lots, affectionately referred to by its multi -generational residents as "Puyallup Row", since the time of the Great Depression and beyond. The reason for this name is that the original settlers of those little beach houses were families that came from Puyallup, Washington. At the time of the construction of those cottages, as the turn of the last century, there was no road to access S.W. 292nd St. behind the houses— those beach cottages were only accessible from the water side, and were used exclusively in the summer. There is to this day no driveway or any off-street parking to access the Aggrieved's residence, and for other homes along "Puyallup Row". Needless to say, that dead-end part of S.W. 292nd St. is heavily burdened with vehicles for the respective residents and their guests year-round who need access. There is no other public street parking for at least a quarter -mile in any direction. The owners of the property directly adjacent to the east of the Aggrieved's purchased that property in late 2016, and immediately began converting the unfinished basement of that beach house into a "mother-in-law" style, attached ADU. At that time, it was entirely unpermitted, and 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 would have remained so had the undersigned not filed an objection with attachments to that unlawful ADU, attached hereto for the consideration of the Department of Community Development Services and any Administrative Law Judge. The specific regulation with which the owners of 300 SW 292nd St. (Application reference number 20-102070) are out of compliance is on page two of the attached informational document, in a subsection entitled "How Do I Create A Legal ADU?", which reads as follows: "Primary dwelling units with an ADU must have a minimum of three off-street parking spaces located a minimum of five feet from the side and rear property lines. " The applicants/owners of that property are in violation of the ordinance in the following respects: 1. They do not have exclusive use of the "spaces" under the plain language of the regulation; 2. The "spaces" to which said applicants/owners have access are not a minimum of five feet from the ingress/egress grantors immediately to their east; and 3. The ingress/egress allowance is limited to two "spaces" for reciprocal parking. In addition, the current tenants occupying the unlawful ADU have at least three vehicles that they park on that dead-end of S.W. 292nd St. which comprises the entire available parking for the residences without a driveway or other off-street parking. 11 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Further, in recent months the owners of that property to the east of the Aggrieved's property have begun advertising on a "travelling nurse" website, in hopes of finding a second individual or couple with whom to share their house. It is the Aggrieved's position that the code interpretation set forth by the City eviscerates the parking requirements contemplated by the drafters in the legislative body, and allows a landlord of any larger, single-family residence to create a veritable apartment building with impunity, with no consideration of parking or due process afforded to those residents who are affected. The disregard exhibited by the City for the rights of its citizens and the failure to protect them against unchecked density only serves to encourage profiteering and the ongoing, egregious manipulation of the rules governing multi -family housing.

The specific regulation with which the owners of 300 SW 292nd St. (Application reference number 20-102070) are out of compliance is on page two of the attached informational document as follows: "Primary dwelling units with an ADU must have a minimum of three off-street parking spaces located a minimum of five feet from the side and rear property lines." The property in question has a reciprocal parking agreement with the home directly in an easterly direction, adjacent to the subject property (sometimes referred to as the "servient estate" or "Easement Grantors"). That easement document is also attached. The adjacent property owners/ Easement Grantors have granted the subject property owners "reciprocal" access to "two" parking spaces, by way of that Easement document. It is perhaps useful to note that the adjacent property owners also have three full-time tenants- each in separate units- all of who have vehicles that encumber those spaces and others. The owners of the servient estate to the east are ALSO able to park on the subject property's driveway at will. MY CONTENTION TO MS. NATALIE KAMIENIECKI or any other Federal Way agent who is reviewing said application is that the subject property applicants do not satisfy the requirement of having "three off-street parking spaces located a minimum of five feet" from the property lines for three reasons: 1) The subject property owners/applicants do not have exclusive use of the "spaces", under the plain language of the regulation; 2) The "spaces" to which said owners/applicants have access are not a minimum of five feet from the adjacent, servient estate/Easement Grantors' property line directly to the east; and 3) The Easement document merely requires "two" vehicle spaces be permitted for reciprocal parking use. I am asking that this objection to the application of the ADU to remain confidential, in an attempt to preserve peaceful future relations with the applicants. Please let me know if you will require additional information, or if you have any concerns about the above, prior to forwarding to Ms. Kamieniecki. Thank you very much, Mr. Hansen.

Mr. Hansen: This note is to ensure that your planning dept. also consider the fact of our recent vandalized, collective mailbox for the houses sharing access by way of the Dead End of SW 292nd St., and its new proposed location: not at the top of the dead end, where access is easiest for the letter carriers (it has been there for the last 40+ years), but rather down the Dead End further still, such that a full parking spot will effectively be rendered unusable to allow for USPS access. The parking in that dead end is already limited in the extreme, with several houses lacking a driveway of their own (the subject property, and our house are both included in that category). This is the reason for my concerns as to any ADU variance being granted to my neighbor at 300 SW 292nd St. That property was never intended to have a rental unit unnaturally imposed upon it, and the rest of us have relied on that fact. Any change to the status quo is to the collective detriment, and will be resisted vigorously. Thank you for your time in reading this additional concern.

First, I assume you are expressing your request to not approve the proposal as it is submitted. We are obligated to accept an application for review regardless of the characteristics of the site. Second, please be sure that all of the issues you bring up will be examined by staff before any land use for such activity or building permit will be approved. Parking, access, and other factors will be taken into account before we would approve the request, or grant any variance of required standards. Variances to standards are only given if there exists a unique non -made made condition on the site, such as steep slope. Request for variance to parking standards because there is not enough parking for existing residences is a man-made condition, and does not meet the criteria for granting a variance. That being said, please note that if the applicant meets all of the requirements necessary for approval, we cannot, nor will we, deny the proposal. From your description of the site and your neighborhood, it appears there may be a number of things that the applicant will have to mediate before a land use or building permit can be issued. I have yet to assign this project to a planner, but I will pass your concern to them when I do.

Dear city of Federal Way, I am the neighbor immediately to the west of the above referenced property, who I understand has made application for an accessory dwelling unit variance. would like to challenge their application, as there is insufficient parking in that dead end of Southwest 292nd St. Several of those houses are over 120 years old, and are without driveways of their own. My home, at 302 SW. 292nd St. is one of those forced to park on the street. Furthermore, our neighbor who has made application for that variance/permit to allow for an accessory dwelling unit, is out of compliance to the extent that they do not have three parking spaces of their own, but instead utilize parking spaces belong to another house who has allowed them an ingress/egress. I have just left a voicemail for you to the same effect, my name is David mann, and I am an owner at the house at 302 SW 292nd St. Please call at your earliest convenience, and let me know how to go about disputing this application.

An ADU is a freestanding detached structure, excluding outdoor storage containers and similar structures used or designed to be used as living facilities, or an attached part of a structure that is accessory to the main or primary dwelling unit. As established in Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.265.020, ADU's are permitted in both Single -Family Residential (RS) and Suburban Estates (SE) zoning districts. ADU's provide complete independent living facilities exclusively for one single housekeeping unit, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, cooking, and sanitation. There are two types of ADU's: ❖ An Attached ADU is an accessory dwelling unit that has one or more vertical and/or horizontal walls in common with, or attached to, the primary dwelling unit. :• A Detached ADU is a freestanding accessory dwelling unit that is not attached or physically connected to the primary dwelling unit. HOW DO 1 CREATE A LEGAL ADU? There are two City permits required to create an ADU: ACCESSORYDWELLING UNITLAND USEPERMIT. Fill out the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Land Use Application and return it to the Department of Community Development with a non-refundable fee (contact the Permit Center at 253-835-2607, or perniiteenter(t-r..tityoffederalway.com for the fee amount). Site plan and floor plan drawings should be submitted to meet the requirements of FWRC 19.195.180 and 19.200.180. Staff will review this application to determine if the ADU proposed for your property is legal. Once the ADU land use permit has been approved, a signed and notarized Letter ofApplication/Deed Restriction (see ADU Application) must be provided with a recording fee. The recording fee is paid to the City, who will in turn pay King County. BUILDING PERYIIT: New construction, additions, or alterations to create an ADU will require a building pennit. Building permit fees are based on construction values. Following final approval of the ADU by the Building Inspector, a Certificate of Occupancy will be provided. WHAT IS A "LEGAL NONCONFORMING" ADU? An ADU may be considered legally nonconforming if it meets one of the following: 1) The ADU was covered by a permit on the date of adoption of this code (February 28, 1990), if one was required under applicable law; or 2) No permit was required at the time the ADU was created and the ADU was in compliance with the applicable law (minimum housing and building code standards) at that time. City ADU land use permit fees are not required for legal nonconfonning ADU's if the owner provides a copy of the pen -nit issued by the county, or provides proof that no pen -nits were required at the time the ADU was created. Owners of legal nonconforming ADU's must still file a "Deed Restriction" with King County Records and Elections and provide the City with a legally recorded copy. Once the City receives a recorded copy, the Certificate of ADU Compliance will be issued to the owner. Please be advised that a legal nonconforming ADU may have been legal when it was created, but may not necessarily meet the City's current ADUstandards. Per FWRC 19.30.140, the legal nonconforming ADU status is lost when one or more of the following events occur: (a) Increase in square.footage. The applicant increases the gross floor area of the ADU; or (b) Abandonment or cessation of occupancy. The subject property containing the ADU is abandoned for 90 or more consecutive days, or the ADU is not occupied for 180 consecutive days. When legal nonconforming status is lost, the ADU must be removed or modified to meet City of Federal Way ADU requirements and receive a land use approval by the Planning Division, WHAT ARE THE STANDARD ADU REQUIREMENTS? •:• Primary dwelling units with an ADU must have a minimum of three off-street parking spaces located a minimum of five feet from the side and rear property lines. ❖ The primary dwelling unit and the ADU cannot exceed the maximum lot coverage prescribed by the FWRC. The ADU should be designed so that the appearance remains that of a single-family residence. ADU's may be accessed through the entrance to the primary dwelling unit or through an additional side or rear entrance. Only one entrance is allowed on the front of the primary residence. •3 The ADU shall have between 300 and 800 square feet of floor area. ADU's must not exceed 40 percent of the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. ADU's may have up to two bedrooms. ❖ ADU's on septic systems require King County Public Health Department approval with the ADU land use permit application. 44 The Lakehaven Utility District may require a separate water meter for attached and detached ADU's. Their approval of the ADU is required with the ADU land use permit application. Home occupations are not allowed in ADU's. WHO MAY LIVE IN AN ADU? No more than one single housekeeping unit may occupy an ADU. A single housekeeping unit is defined as no more than three unrelated persons, or an unlimited number of individuals who are related. This definition does not limit the number of residents if the limit prevents the City from making reasonable accommodations to disabled persons to afford them equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling, as required by the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988. WHAT IS THE OWNER OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENT? Owners of primary dwelling units that have an ADU must occupy one of the two dwelling units for six months in each calendar year. Owner occupancy is pledged with the Letter- of Application and Deed Restriction, and recorded with King County Records and Elections following ADU land use permit approval. The goal of owner occupancy is to ensure monitoring and maintenance of both units by the property owner. WHAT .HAPPENS WHEN THE HOME WITH AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT IS SOLD? The new purchaser of a home with a legally established ADU must file a new Deed Restriction accompanied by a check to cover recording fees. The deed restriction document and fee must be submitted to the Department of Community Development within 30 days of transfer of ownership if the new owner intends to continue maintaining the ADU. The City will record this document with King County Records and Elections. If the new owner chooses not to occupy one of the units, he/she will have to discontinue use of the ADU and remove features that make it a separate dwelling unit, such as stove, toilet, or tub. I HAVE AN EXISTING ADU THAT DOESN'T MEET ALL CITY REQUIREMENTS. WHAT CAN I DO? You have two options if your ADU was not permitted by King County and does not meet the City ADU requirements. The elements that make up the separate dwelling unit can be removed, or you can apply for a variance to the ADU requirements. The Federal Way Hearing Examiner decides variance requests. The Hearing Examiner conducts a public hearing and decides upon the request after reviewing the variance criteria. Contact the Permit Center at 253-835-2607, or per iitegnter a eit!+offe_deralway.co m, for variance processing fees. WHAT ABOUT PRIVATE COVENANTS THAT MAY PROHIBIT ADU's? The City of Federal Way does not review nor enforce private Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R). The applicant is advised to consult property documents for any deed restrictions. WHAT ABOUT SCHOOL IMPACT FEES? Attached or detached ADU's are subject to School impact Fees per Ordinance 96-265. The fees, assigned to all new residential development projects, are used by the Federal Way School District to build new schools and improve existing schools. Contact the Permit Center at 253-835-2607, or perniitceiiter u.citvolTederzlw_ay.c_om, for ADU school impact fees. These must be paid before a building permit can be issued.
