Public Works Waiting on comments. 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. Comment noted. No further action 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 in 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. Comment noted. 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 theanalysis required by this condition. Since mitigation for the result of the analysis would not exceed Level 3 flow control, staff considers this condition satisfied. Comment noted. No further action 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. April 2020 building permit submittal: a critical areas report was provided and peer reviewed by the city’s consultant ESA. See enclosed July 2020 memo from ESA and address comments. The ESA comments from the July 2020 memo have been addressed. See "Response to ESA Comment Letter" by Talasaea Consultants, Inc, dated August 25, 2020. 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. Currently awaiting WSDOT approval. Approval will be provided prior to building permit approval. 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. The Critical Areas Report referenced in the final TIR will be updated to the most recent version of the report. 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 which will be recorded once construction of the storm drainage system is complete. Draft easements will be provided prior to building permit issuance. 42.Prior to issuance of a building permit, updated certificates of water and sewer availability shall be submitted. April 2020 building permit submittal: Updated certificates provided, condition satisfied. Comment noted. No further action needed. HEX 12/43 A new condition No. 12 is added to the MDNS to provide as follows: The Applicant shall supplement its stormwater plan to demonstrate compliance and consistency with the Executive Proposed Basin Plan Hylebos Creek and Lower Puget Sound (King County Surface Water Management, 1991). ESM submitted a memorandum dated 2-10-2020 (2-10-2020) Staff provided a response memo on 4-1-2020 via email.

MDNS Condition No. 11 is replaced by the following: Cumulative traffic impacts from Warehouse A and B and the Greenline Business Park to the SR 18 westbound ramp intersection with Weyerhaeuser Way South shall be evaluated and mitigated in a SEPA analysis addendum and/or revision to the Warehouse A and B TIA. PM peak hour cumulative impacts shall be included in the TIA analysis, or added to the concurrency review for Warehouse A as the City finds most consistent with its regulations. The City shall determine if WSDOT has jurisdiction over the SR 18 intersection. If WSDOT has jurisdiction over the SR 18 intersection, WSDOT LOS standards shall be applied to the intersection and any necessary pro-rata mitigation for Warehouse A shall be formulated in consultation with WSDOT as contemplated in Conclusion of Law No. 8 of the Final Decision. If WSDOT doesn’t have jurisdiction over the intersection, City LOS standards shall be applied and pro-rata mitigation for Warehouse A imposed as necessary. All mitigation shall be subject to RCW 82.02.020 and constitutional nexus/proportionality. COFW sent letter to ESM dated 12-19-19 regarding WSDOT jurisdiction, WSDOT has jurisdiction over the SR 18 intersection and its respective LOS standards apply. ESM submitted a memorandum dated 3-23-2020 and updated TIA for the Woodbridge Business Park dated 3-17-2020 (4-7-2020). ESM submitted a memorandum dated 4- 7-2020 and a memo regarding pro-rata share dated 4-6-20 (4-7-2020). Condition has been deemed satisfied. No further action needed. MDNS Condition No. 12 is to be reclassified and re-numbered as Condition No. 43 to the Warehouse A Process III approval to reflect the fact that it is not a SEPA mitigation measure as identified in this reconsideration decision. See Condition #43. Condition #43 has been deemed satisfied. No further action needed.
