Woodbridge Building A Conditions of Compliance
11.The following amendments shall be made to the critical areas report prior to building permit
issuance:
a) The amount of impact to the buffer of Stream EA is inconsistent between the text in the
report and on Figure W1.2 in the report. Section 7.2.3 – Stream Buffer Averaging of the report
states that 1,944 square feet of the buffer area will be reduced and 2,235 square feet of buffer area
will be replaced. However, Figure W1.2 shows a reduction of 1,695 square feet of stream buffer
and a replacement of 2,359 square feet. The figure and the report shall be revised to show correct
quantities of reduction and replacement.
b) According to the Buffer Averaging Plan in the report (Sheet W1.2) only the northwest portion of
the buffer of Wetland DT is being impacted. However, several sheets in the site plan show the
entire wetland buffer being reduced to 50 feet. The report and all subsequently submitted
development plans sheets shall be revised, as necessary, to show the correct buffer impact.
c) The applicant shall show/label on Figure W1.2 the size of each area of buffer reduction and
replacement to demonstrate that each reduction is compensated for at the location of the critical
area where that reduction occurs. Adjustments shall be made if necessary.

SEPA mitigation measure.)
April 2020 building permit submittals: PUBLIC WORKS September 2020 building
permit submittals: The northbound left-turn lane for truck access at the southerly
driveway on Weyerhaeuser Way is within WSDOT Limited Access. The
channelization plan must be submitted to WSDOT for review and approval. Please
note, SR 18 ramp terminal intersections are under Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) control and therefore subjected to their respective permit
process.
The WSDOT channelization plan for the SR18 off-ramp revisions is being routed internally
through WSDOT for signature. In addition the WSDOT limited access limits ends just before the
left turn pocket for the site on Weyerheauser Way. TENW shared the Pavement Marking Plans
for the improvements within the City limits with WSDOT on 4/19 for their awareness.
28. Prior to building permit issuance, the applicant shall install weight limit signs on Weyerhaeuser

29.The applicant submitted a traffic study,IRG Greenline Buildings A and B Federal Way,WA
Transportation Impact Study,TENW Transportation Engineering NorthWest,March 6,2018.The
development is estimated to generate 994 daily trips consisting of 795 passenger vehicle trips and 199 truck
trips.These trips will be served by two driveways (private loop road driveway north of the site and truck
access driveway next to SR 18)on Weyerhaeuser Way.According to the traffic study,all truck trips would
utilize the proposed truck access driveway on Weyerhaeuser Way South and will be traveling to and from the
south using the Weyerhaeuser Way South/SR-18 interchange.On a daily basis,I-5 southbound congestion
routinely occurs between SR 18 and South 320th Street interchange.In order to avoid traffic congestion and
reduce travel time due to a shorter distance, truck trips with origin and destination from the north could utilize
South 320th Street/SR-5 interchange,South 336th Street,and Weyerhaeuser Way South asion shall be subject
to RCW 82.02.020 and constitutional nexus/proportionality.plicant shall provide necessary documentation
and mitigation prior to building permit issuance.tical area where that reduction occurs.Adjustments shall be
made if necessary.from South 320th Street and SR 18 is not a designated truck route and therefore,the
roadway cannot support heavy vehicle weights.In general,heavier vehicles cause more damaged to the road
than light vehicles.The federal government estimated that an 18-wheel truck causes the same damage to the
road as 9,600 cars.Based on the above,the applicant has not demonstrated mitigation of additional truck
traffic onto non-designated truck routes such as Weyerhaeuser Way South north of the site,including impacts
to the pavement.
As such,prior to certificate of occupancy issuance,the applicant shall provide a fully executed bond for 120
percent of the engineer’s estimate for design and construction costs to upgrade the existing pavement on
Weyerhaeuser Way South,from the proposed truck entrance to South 320th Street.The bond term shall be for
a period of three years from the time of notification by applicant of full occupancy and use of the facility,
unless a shorter term is mutually agreed to in the implementation agreement discussed below.The applicant
shall provide the engineer’s estimate.
Should the truck trips generated by the project traveling north of the site (to or from the site)exceed 28 truck
trips per week as set forth in the implementation agreement discussed below,the city will use the bond for
design and construction costs to upgrade the existing pavement on Weyerhaeuser Way South,from the
proposed truck entrance to South 320th Street,and/or from the proposed truck entrance to SR-99 via South
336th Street,to the city’s required design standards.In the alternative,the applicant may choose to design and
construct the implicated roadway(s)identified by the city.For the purposes of this condition,a “truck”shall
mean a vehicle rated in excess of 30,000 pounds gross weight as discussed in Chapter 8.40 FWRC.
Prior to building permit issuance,the applicant and the city shall enter into an implementation agreement to
set forth the conditions by which the city will monitor the truck trips; how the city will make its determination
that the applicant has exceeded the 28 or more truck trips per week;how notice will be provided to the
applicant;the cure period for the applicant to remedy the excess truck trips described in the above condition;
when the city will call the bond or require the applicant to construct the implicated roadways;the bond
conditions; and all other requirements deemed necessary by the city. (A SEPA mitigation measure.)

31. The existing pavement on Weyerhaeuser Way South (south of the site), from the proposed truck
entrance to the SR-18 interchange must be fully reconstructed (subgrade soils and new pavement) to
accommodate the expected truck traffic load. The applicant shall provide the pavement design for
city review and approval prior to engineering plans submittal. Once the pavement design is
approved by the city, the development shall perform full depth reconstruction of the roadway
segment impacted by the truck traffic. (A SEPA mitigation measure.)
ESM submitted a revised geotech report dated 1-30-2020 that includes the new
proposed pavement design for city review (1-31- 2020). April 2020 building permit
submittal: PUBLIC WORKS. September 2020 building permit submittal: The
pavement design for Weyerhaeuser Way South from the proposed truck entrance to
the SR-18 interchange must be included in this submittal. Once approved by the
City, the applicant must perform full reconstruction of the roadway segment
concurrent with Warehouse A (truck traffic generated by Warehouse A). The
improvements plans for Warehouse A must show the pavement reconstruction on
Weyerhaeuser Way South.
The full reconstruction pavement limits and pavement section have been added to the civil plan
sheet FR-01.
32. Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall construct right-turn storage
for the westbound SR-18 off-ramp to mitigate for the impact to the westbound off-ramp to the
satisfaction and with approval of WSDOT. (A SEPA mitigation measure.)
April 2020 building permit submittal: PUBLIC WORKS. September 2020 building
permit submittal: SR 18 westbound off-ramp improvement plan to extending the
storage pocket must be designed and submitted to WSDOT for approval. The SR 18
ramp terminal intersections are under Washington State Department of

approved by the appropriate transit agency. The civil plan must also include bus
shelter detail.
The relocated bus stop pad has been detailed on the civil plan sheet FR-02 with the King County
Metro standard details referenced.
34. A Right-of-Way Modification was issued on June 22, 2018, outlining required frontage
improvements for both Warehouse A and Warehouse B, with timing and bonding requirements. The
building permit site plan shall reflect the requirements outlined in this letter. Construction plans
shall be included in the building permit submittal for review and approval.
April 2020 building permit submittal: PUBLIC WORKS. September 2020 building
permit submittal: Street improvement along Weyerhaeuser Way South for
Warehouse A was modified per the June 22, 2018 right-of-way modification letter,
which specified the necessary improvement between Warehouse A and B. The
improvement plans should reflect the street modification approval.
The right-of-way modification letter has been reviewed to meet the conditions as follows: 1)
Street lighting has been added. 2) ADA standards have been met. 3) Improvements will be
constructed as mutually agreed upon. 4) Right-of-way dimensions have been revised on sheets FR-
02 and FR-02 of the civil plan set to reflect the right-of-way width dedication along frontage of
Buildings A and B is no less than 100' total (if same ownership on both sides) or 50' where
ownership is different on the other side. 5) The engineer's estimate has been provided as
requested.
35. The Right-of-Way Modification issued on June 22, 2018, includes widening of Weyerhaeuser
Way South. As a part of building permit approval, water quality treatment shall be provided for new
pollution-generating surfaces within the public right-of-way. Flow control shall also be provided.
All stormwater treatment and flow control requirements shall meet the regulations in place at the
time a building permit application is received.
No new pollution-generating impervious area is being created on Weyerhaeuser Way
S with the Warehouse A frontage improvements. Water Quality Treatment and flow
control will not be required at this time because the amount of new impervious area
being created within the public right-of-way is insufficient to meet thresholds
provided in the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual.
Condition satisfied. No further action is needed.
36. The applicant has discussed but not committed to any particular BMPs required by the
KCSWDM. The applicant shall incorporate BMPs into the building permit plan set as outlined i the
KCSWDM.
The TIR dated 3/20/20 submitted by ESM includes a review of all BMPs. Those that
can be successfully applied to this development include Native Growth Retention,
Soil Amendment, and Perforated Pipe Connections. The building plans are under
review and will be required to include these BMPs. Sept 2020 building permit
submittal: see city comment letter, condition not satisfied.
The TIR has been revised to address all flow control BMPs. The geotechnical engineer has also
provided a memorandum confirming that the flow control BMPs that require infiltration are not
feasible.
37. The applicant states that this project drains to an offsite wetland on parcel 2121049014;
however no detail has been provided concerning the wetland. Therefore KCSWDM Chapter 3.3.5
through 3.3.7 may apply. If the amount of impervious surface area proposed by the project is
greater than or equal to 10 percent of the 100-year water surface area of a closed depression, then a
point of compliance analysis must be done to verify that the water surface levels are not increasing
for the return frequencies at which flooding occurs, up to and including the 100-year frequency.
The applicant has not provided a comparison of the proposed impervious surface area to the surface
area of the wetland or closed depression, nor have they provided a minor floodplain analysis to
establish an assumed base flood elevation. Conservation Flow Control (Level 2) must therefore be
considered a minimum standard, and the applicant will be required to provide additional flow
control if the site’s impervious area meets or exceeds the 10 percent threshold or a flooding
problem will be created or exacerbated. The applicant shall provide necessary documentation and
mitigation prior to building permit issuance.
The applicant has chosen to provide Level 3, Flood Control, the highest level of flow
control required, rather than providing the analysis required by this condition. Since
mitigation for the result of the analysis would not exceed Level 3 flow control, staff
considers this condition satisfied.
Condition satisfied. No further action is needed.
38. As stated in the KCSWDM Section 1.2.2.1, the applicant shall submit a critical areas report for
the offsite wetland on parcel 2121049014. The critical areas report shall be completed as outlined in
FWRC 19.145.080; reviewed by an outside peer reviewer at the developer’s expense; and approved
prior to approval of the final TIR and prior to building permit issuance.

reviewed by the city’s consultant ESA. See enclosed July 2020 memo from ESA and
address comments. September 2020 building permit submittal: See March 2021 ESA
memo.
Completed. See comment response letter attached to this resubmittal.
39. Prior to building permit approval, WSDOT approval of the project’s impacts on storm drainage
conveyance within WSDOT right-of-way shall be provided.
The applicant states in the TIR that the storm drainage conveyance has been
submitted for WSDOT review. Prior to building permit approval, proof of WSDOT
approval must be received. September 2020 building permit submittal: the submitted
Conditions of Approval document states “Currently awaiting WSDOT approval.
Approval will be provided prior to building permit approval”.
Storm drainage conveyance has been reviewed by WSDOT. WSDOT had no comments. See
correspondence with WSDOT attached.
40. The reference to the Critical Areas Report in the preliminary TIR shall be updated to the most
recent version in the final TIR.
April 2020 building permit submittal: In the updated TIR dated 3- 20-2020, Sections
4 and 6 contain a reference to an August 2017 critical areas report. There is an
updated version of this critical areas report that was submitted with the building
permit. September 2020 building permit submittal: TIR updated, conditions satisfied.
Condition satisfied. No further action is needed.
41. Prior to engineering plan approval, the applicant shall record easements to allow stormwater
conveyance, treatment, and detention for Warehouse A on and across the adjacent Warehouse B
property. Easements shall be reviewed and approved by the City of Federal Way prior to recording,
and a copy shall be provided to the city upon recording.
April 2020 building permit submittal does not address this condition. Prior to
building permit issuance, the applicant will be required to provide draft easements
