CITIZEN COMMENT
Barbara Reid stated her support for a Community Center as a place for all citizens. not just
athletes and seniors, to meet. She commended the Council for being visionary.
Steve Freeborn spoke about his support of the Kenneth Jones Pool not only as a recreational and
athletic venue but as critical to the rehabilitation of individuals with disabilities such as arthritis,
lupus and autism as well as rehabilitation from injuries suffered in accidents.
Rob Bohannon had heard about a potential new park on SW 15th and asked for more information.
Pat Burton expressed support of the Kenneth Jones Pool as a place where life values are learned
and a healthy lifestyle is encouraged. She also supports a Community Center and new pool.
Betty Huff announced the Federal Way Coalition for the Performing Arts concert at Decatur
High School at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 24,2002. Tickets sell for $5. She also
encouraged the Council to go forward with funding for a Community Center/pool complex.
Such a facility would make Federal Way more appealing to investors as well as residents. She
thanked the Council for their proactivity and vision.
Dan Casey distributed his written comments. He supports the Kenneth Jones Pool and additional
police. He doesn't feel new revenue sources at this time are necessary. He urged the Council to
delay tax increases for a couple of years. He opposed an amusement tax.
Linda Jenkins questioned funding for Centerstage when it is failing and asked why we didn't fill
food baskets instead of funding flower baskets. She said to expand the present City Hall facility.
Steve Skipper reminded the Council that the voters spoke loudly in the last election in rejecting
new taxes. He said there are a lot of things he wants but he must live within his means. He said
businesses will react to increases in taxes and hoped there was not another tea party here in
Federal Way.
Kim Box, a master swimmer, complimented the Council for supporting the Kenneth Jones Pool
and emphasized the huge need the pool satisfies.
Doug Johnson's remarks read into the record supported the 2003-2004 budget as outlined. He
encouraged aggressive pursuit of maintaining the utility tax at the city level. He thanked the
Council for it's leadership.
Roberta Coper, a 10 year resident said that she and her neighbors support turning the Armstrong
property into a park and would like to see that happen sooner rather than later. She said the
Federal Way City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
November 19, 2002 - Page 4 of 10
Cheryl Nevers said that a new City Hall does not attract new business and urged the Council to
expand the current City Hall rather than building a new one.
Steven Kirk, educator, homeowner, parent, and 25-year resident of Federal way pointed out that
government serves the bettennent of the community. He added that water safety (i. e., taking
over the Kenneth Jones Pool) betters a community.
A. 1. Witherspoon, General Manager of the Gateway Theater. said the theater cannot afford new
taxes in order to stay competitive and urged the Council not to impose an admissions tax.
Vicki Anderson commended the Council on a forward-thinking budget. She said closure of the
Kenneth Jones Pool would put an end to a huge community benefit.
Bob Couper, Chair of the Federal Way Chamber, opposed a tax increase right now. He said that
Capital Improvement Projects are acceptable but to plan a new Community Center/pool complex
now is not acceptable. He said that a tax increase was not necessary, that capital improvements
could be funded by retiring bonds. Tax increases hurt business. He commended the City for
being in a sound fiscal position and challenged the Council to exercise wisdom in how money is
appropriated and spent.
John Pearson, a 7-year resident, supports keeping the Kenneth Jones Pool open. The pool
performs an important public safety function. People learn to swim and avoid drowning
accidents. Also, the pool provides physical therapy for the disabled. The City has done an
outstanding job of managing Steele Lake and can manage the pool. too.
Russ Wolfe opposed the utilities and admissions taxes. He does not believe they are needed. He
does not believe a City Hall will cost the amount budgeted. Staff and Council have managed the
City to fund many CIP projects without reductions in levels of service. He urged the Council not
to raise taxes.
Diane Luciano was in a serious auto accident and by swimming at the Kenneth Jones Pool she
was able to rehabilitate herself. Her husband, Ray Luciano, was thankful that his wife had the
pool for her water exercise; otherwise, she would be permanently disabled. They could not have
afforded more expensive therapy resources and he credits the pool with her remarkable recovery.
Robert Fulweiler reminded the Council they pledged restraint and moral courage, and he wants
to hold them accountable now and not raise taxes. He has to live within his means and he would
expect the same of the Council. He said the Community/Senior Center and pool are noble but
now is neither the time nor the circumstances.
Pat Tillia said to keep the pool open. She swims for exercise therapy.
Ron Zaffino supported the pool and said he would donate whatever it takes to keep it open and
added that now is not the time to raise taxes. He said the Council should ask for help but not
raise taxes.
Ron Gintz discredited any public notion that any Council member will benefit from increased
taxes. He called the Council a community mosaic. No matter how they vote, people will say
Federal Way City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
November 19, 2002 - Page 5 of 10
they are not listening. He said that, by law, the utility tax could either be rolled back after ten
years or used for another forward thrust project.
Joseph Haley supported the pool and the many seniors who use it.
Susie Horan supported the Community Center.
Mark Pearson, a former lifeguard and competitive swimmer, supports the pool. He urged the
Council to do everything necessary. including raising taxes, to keep the pool open.
Marcia Greenwood said the Kenneth Jones Pool must be kept open. We are surrounded by water
and need more pools not less.
Nancy Ise said we depend on the Council to make decisions because we, the citizens, have not
done the research. It may not be a good time to plan for the future, but we cannot stop the future
from coming. Therefore, she urged the council to go forward, raise the taxes, plan for the future,
and build a Community Center. Communities are remembered for their leadership.
Bob Hitchcock asked if a utility tax and admissions tax were the whole answer. He said that
opposing the tax doesn't mean he opposes the Community Center. He just opposed the vehicle
to get there.
Malcolm Neely suggested creating a program whereby people stayed in town to spend their
money. This, alone. would generate more money.

2003 General ~n1ls Recommendation for Human Services
Background
After months of review, deliberation process and a Public Hearing, the Human Services
Commission is forwarding a recommendation for the 2003 funding for Human Services to the
Parks, Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Committee for its review and
recommendation to the full City Council for approval. For the 2003-04 funding cycle, the City
received applications from 31 agencies representing 47 programs, which totaled $718,000 in
request. The City has $412,500 in the proposed budget for funding these programs, which is
57% of the requested amount. In addition, the City has funds from Employee contribution and
Defendant Deferral in the amount of $33,338 year-to-date (Attachment 1), for a total of
$445,838. The Commission's recommendation will remain the same for 2004, unless there is
a change in the funds available or delivery of services for 2004, at which point the
commission will come before this Committee with a recommendation.
This year, the Commission was faced with greater challenges than ever before. With a tough
economy, high unemployment rate, reduction in child-care subsidy, and the County's proposal
to pull out of human services, it will be difficult for agencies to meet the increasing demands
of those who need the services and the diminishing resources. King County Executive is
proposing to cut Human Services by 50% in 2003 and eliminate the remaining 50% in 2004.
The impacts of this proposal and other State and Federal Funding on the agencies could be
significant.
The following chart summarizes the requests received and the amount recommended in the
four Council Goal areas.
Council Goals 2002 Funding 2003 Request 2003 Recomm. Contingency

1) Basic Needs $166,000 $202,957 $176,650 $2,000

3) Self-Sufficiency $46,500 $97,672 $48,000 $0
4) Strong N'Hoods $11,000 $58,000 $9,159 $10,000
TOTAL: $440,500 $718,366 $412,500 $14,000
Funding Recommendation
As stated above, the Human Services Commission has a funding recommendation totaling
$445,838 (Attachment 2). These funds come from 3 funding sources:
City's General Funds:
Employee Donations:

Additionally, the Commission has a contingency plan in the amount of $14,000 to fund 3

between now and the end of the year.

Disabilities Act of 1990, two federal laws which prohibit discrimination against qualified people with
disabilities.
I understand that federal and state laws prohibit discrimination in public accommodations and
employment based solely on disability. In addition, I recognize that Section 504 requires recipients of
federal funds (either directly or through contracting with a governmental entity receiving federal
funds) to make their programs, services, and activities, when viewed in their entirety, accessible to
qualified and/or eligible people with disabilities. I agree to comply with, and to require that all
subcontractors {;omply with, the Section 504/ADA requirements. I understand that reasonable
accommodation is required in both program services and employment, except where to do so would
cause an undue hardship or burden.
I agree to cooperate in any compliance review and to provide reasonable access to the premises of
all places of business and employment and to records, files, information, and employees therein to
King County for reviewing compliance with Section 504 and ADA requirements,
I agree that any violation of the specific provisions and terms of the 504/ADA Disability Assurance of
Compliance and/or Corrective Action Plan required herein or Section 504 or the ADA, shall be
deemed a breach of a material provision of the Contract between the County and the Contractor.
Such a breach shall be grounds for cancellation, termination, or suspension; in whole or in part, of
this Contract by the County.

Staff Response: This condition has been met as discussed below. According to the engineering
plans submitted for plat construction, lots 14 through 17 contained slopes in excess of 40
percent. According to the engineering plans, those lots were to remain undisturbed until
subsequent home construction was permitted. Interim clearing and grading of some of these lots
was requested by the applicant and conditionally approved by the Director of Community
Development Services, in order to facilitate pedestrian pathway construction. However, the
applicant subsequently filled these lots in excess of approved quantities and in advance of final
plat approval. Following the filling activity, the City required the applicant to address the above
referenced condition of preliminary plat approval. The applicant submitted a geotechnical report
that provided a discussion of potential impacts for fill placed in the steep slope areas, to satisfy
the requirements of FWCC Section 22-1286. The October 20, 2002 report, prepared by Golder
Associates, contained specific recommendations associated with fill placed in lots 13, 14, 15. 16,
and 17. According to the report, Golder Associates observed placement and compaction of the
fill over a period of days, and conducted tests to document acceptable compaction levels. Copies
of the geotechnical report and supplemental geotechnical information as may be required by the
Building Official will be required with single family building permit for lots 13 through 17 in
order to document existing conditions and verify that the filled lots meet acceptable building
standards. Based on an analysis of the submitted geotechnical report and verification of the
filling activity by the geotechnical engineer of record, staff has determined that this condition
has been met subject to adding the following note to the final plat document prior to recording:
Note 16: Prior to the issuance of a building permit for any construction activity on lots
13 through 17, the applicant shall submit jar review geotechnical analysis alld
documentation of acceptable filling efforts in conformance with Federal Way City
Code Section 22- I 286, and any supplemental geotechnical reports as required by the
City of Federal Way Building Official.
3.
Retaining walls and rockery design shall be harmonious with existing adjoining residential
uses, and shall promote residential design themes through such means as terracing, orientation,
natural material selection, use of vegetation, and textural treatment.
Staff Response: This condition has been met. The only rockeries and retaining walls installed
on the subject site are located within Tract A, storm drainage facility. The keystone walls
provide textured relief to the pond and include terracing down the steep slopes of the storm
drainage facility.
4.
To provide a safe route of travel for school children, the applicant shall install a pedestrian
corridor from the subject site, north along the eastern side of South Star Lake Road to the
northern side of the elementary school driveway on South Star Lake Road. subject to review
and approval by the Public Works Director.
Staff Response: This condition has been met. Tract B contains a paved pedestrian pathway
bordered by approved landscaping. The path connects from the Star Lake Vista cul-de-sac to
the adjacent elementary school. The tract will be dedicated to the City of Federal Way upon
recording of the final plat.

SEPA
A Mitigated Determination of Non significance (MONS) was issued on May 20, 2000, with the
following condition:
I. To mitigate Ihe subdivision's impacts in Ihe flooding problems along Slar/ake Road and
conveyance and capacity problems within McSorley Creek watershed, Star Lake Vista
stormwater detention facility shall be designed to the Level 3 Flow Control standard of the
1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM).
There were no appeals of the SEPA decision and the determination was finalized with no changes to
the decision.
Staff Response: This condition has been met. In order to address the size requirements dictated by
Level 3 Flow Control, the size of the storm drainage facility was adjusted, resulting in a reduction in
the number of building lots from 19 to 18. The engineering plans were reviewed for compliance with
the Level III Flow Control standard and determined to meet the specific requirements.
VI. DECISIONAL CRITERIA
Pursuant to FWCC Section 20-136, if the City Council finds that the following criteria have been
met, the City Council may approve the final plat for recording:
1.
The final plat is in substantial conformance to the preliminary plat.
Staff Response: This criterion has been met, as the final plat is substantially representative of
the preliminary plat and the conditions of preliminary plat have been met or financially
guaranteed.
2.
The final plat is in conformity with applicable zoning ordinances or other land use controls.
Staff Response: This criterion has been met. The plat meets the zoning standards for the RS
7.2 zoning district and provides single-family dwelling unit lots that range from 7,201 square
feet to 9,490 square feet in size. As provided for in FWCC Section 20-135(b), performance and
maintenance bonds are in place for the entire plat including frontage improvements, streets, and
all infrastructure. The applicant has opted to make an open space fee in lieu of payment
pursuant to FWCC Section 20-155. Based on the assessed land value of$310,000.00, and as
provided by the Federal Way Parks Director, the applicant will make a payment of$46,500.00,
based on 15 percent of the assessed land value, to the City before the final plat will be recorded
(Exhibit G - August 5, 2002, King County Property Tax Information Statement). The plat is
within planning Area E of the 1995 Federal Way Parks, Open Space, and Recreation
Comprehensive Plan. In addition to Tract B (the pedestrian pathway connecting Star Lake Vista
to the Mark Twain Elementary School), the applicant has created Tract C, a ten foot wide
landscape area between Interstate 5 and the rear of lots 9, 10, 11, and 12, as provided under
FWCC Section 20-1 78(a). Tract C, which shall be owned in common by the adjacent property
owners, retains existing tree and shrub vegetation and includes additional fir trees and shrubs to
meet the intent of a Type III buffer.

3.
That all conditions of the Hearing Examiner and/or City Council have been satisfied.
Staff Response: This criterion has been met as noted in the staff comments above.
4.
That the public use and interest shall be served by the establishment of the subdivision and
dedication by determining if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, the public
health, safety, general welfare, open space, drainage ways, streets and roads, alleys, other
public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation,
playgrounds, and schools and school grounds, and shall consider all other relevant facts,
including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students
who only walk to and from school.
Staff Response: This criterion has been met. The final plat is consistent with applicable zoning
and subdivision regulations, and ensures the public health, safety, and welfare is protected. The
plat infrastructure has been installed and adequately bonded as discussed above, including safe
walking routes of travel, open space provided via fee in lieu of obligation, drainage systems and
water and sewer installed, and streets improved. Tract B provides a pedestrian connection to the
adjacent elementary school. The tract will be dedicated to the City of Federal Way as provided
in FWCC Section 20-1 56(b). In addition, the applicant installed a paved walking area on the
north side of South Star Lake Road to provide safe walking route of travel to bus stops for
junior and senior high school students.
5.
That all required improvements have been made and maintenance bonds or other security for
such improvements have been submitted and accepted.
Staff Response: This criterion has been met. All road, pedestrian pathway, and storm drainage
improvements have been constructed. In addition, all water and sewer lines have been installed
and approved by Lakehaven Utility District and Highline Utility District. Adequate bonding is
in place with the City, Lakehaven Utility District, and Highline Utility District.
6.
That all taxes and assessments owing on the property being subdivided have been paid.
Staff Response: Prior to being recorded, the plat is reviewed by the King County Department
of Assessments to ensure that all taxes and assessments have been paid.
VII. CONCLUSION
Based on site visits, review of the final plat maps, construction drawings, and the project file, staff
has determined that the application for final plat approval for Star Lake Vista Subdivision meets all
platting requirements ofRCW 58.17.110 and Section 20-136 of the Federal Way City Code.
Landscaping and right-of-way improvement financial guarantees have been provided to assure
completion of plat conditions. A recommendation of final plat approval is therefore being forwarded
to the City Council for your approval.

III. FINDINGS
The Hearing Examiner has heard testimony, admitted documentary evidence into
the record, and taken this matter under advisement.
The Community Development Staff Report sets forth general findings, applicable
policies and provisions in this matter and is hereby marked as Exhibit "1" and
incorporated in its entirety by this reference.
3.
All appropriate notices were delivered in accordance with the requirements of the
Federal Way City Code (FWCC).
4.
The applicant has a possessory ownership interest in a generally rectangular, 4.63
acre parcel of unimproved property within the City of Federal Way. The parcel
extends between the west right of way line of Interstate 5 and the east right-of-way
line of South Star lake Road, a minor arterial. The applicant requests preliminary
plat approval to allow subdivision of the site into 18 single family residential lots, a.
storm detention tract, a pedestrian access tract between the internal plat road and
Mark Twain Elementary School, and a ten foot wide landscape tract or area
adjacent to 1-5. The plat proposes a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet and an
average lot size of 7,575 square feet.
5.
The preliminary plat map shows a single access road extending east from South
Star lake Road and terminating in a cul-de-sac. The 25,253 square foot, storm
water detention tract is located in the northwest corner of the plat, and the
pedestrian access extends to the elementary school between lots 14 and 15 in the
western portion of the plat. The applicant also proposes an asphalt pedestrian path
adjacent to South Star lake Road extending from the north side of the plat road to
the entrance to the elementary school and a crosswalk accessing a school bus stop.
All lots access from the internal plat road.
6.
The site and abutting properties to the north, south, and west are all located within
the Single Family Residential-High Density designation of the City of Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan and the Single Family Residential (RS-7.2) zone classification
of the Federal Way City Code (FWCC). All lot sizes meet or exceed the minimum
authorized in the RS-7.2 zone classification of 7,200 square feet. The Mark Twain
Estates Single Family Subdivision abuts the south property line and Scarbrough
Division I, another single family subdivision, abuts the west side of South Star lake
Road opposite the site. Mark Twain Elementary School abuts the north property
line, and Interstate-5 abuts the east property line. The proposed preliminary plat fits

well with the community.
The 1973 King County Soils Survey Map shows AldelWood gravelly sandy loam and
Alderwood Kitsap soils at depths of 24 to 40 inches. Below said depth, the soils
change to relatively impermeable glacial till. Soils on the site will support urban
development.
According to the SEPA checklist, 38% of the site has slopes less than 10%, and
53% of the site has slopes between 10% and 25%. A 1,121 square foot area
located along the north (rear) property lines of proposed lots 15, 16, and 17 has
slopes greater than 40%. Slopes in excess of 40% are regulated by Section 22-
1286 FWCC and a geotechnical analysis will be required if development or land
surface modification activities occur within 25 feet of said steep slope areas.
The site contains wooded vegetation, primarily consisting of mature firs, alders, and
maple trees with a native understOTY of shrubs. Of the eighty on site trees meeting
the definition of'significant", 26% are proposed for removal. The applicant must
comply with requirements of the Significant Tree Ordinance. No plant or animal
species of concern have been observed at the site.
The comprehensive plan classifies South Star Lake Road as a principle collector
street which requires a 60-foot wide right of way. The internal plat road, South 2751h
Place, will be a cul-de-sac road and will have a right-of-way width of 52 feet.
Improvements to the internal plat road include 28 feet of pavement, vertical curb,
gutters, street trees, sidewalks, landscape strips, and a landscape island in the
center of the cul-de-sac. The applicant will also dedicate nine feet of right of way
for South Star lake Road.
11.
The applicant will construct five foot wide sidewalks on both sides of South 275th
Place and half street improvements on South Star lake Road which will include an
eight foot wide sidewalk on the east side of the street across the plat frontage. The
applicant will also provide an eight foot wide, paved, walking path from the north
side of the internal plat road along the east side of South Star lake Road to the
elementary school driveway and the crosswalk that connects to the junior high and
high school bus stop on 25th Drive South.
12.
Other than the street improvements to South Star lake Road, no other road
improvements are necessary as all other roads within the area are adequate to
handle the traffic generated by the subdivision. The City environmental official has
determined that the project will not impact any traffic improvement projects identified

in the City Transportation Improvement Plan.
Elementary school children will walk to Mark Twain Elementary which abuts the
north property line, but junior and senior high students will walk to a bus stop at the
intersection of South Star lake Road and 25'" Drive South. The walking route from
the subdivision to the bus stop is presently via a substandard roadway including a
gravel shoulder and ditches. As previously found, the applicant will install an
improved pedestrian corridor from the subdivision to the school bus stop. The
applicant must also comply with the City School Impact Fee Ordinance and make
a payment of 2,203,00 per single family housing unit to offset the impacts to the
Federal Way School District of school age children residing in the plat.
Section 20-155(8) FWCC requires the plat to set aside 15% of the gross land area
of the subdivision site for open space. However, in accordance with said section,
the applicant has elected to pay a fee-in-lieu of providing said open space,
The Highline Water District will provide both domestic water and fire flow to the site,
and the lakehaven Utility District will provide sanitary sewer service to each lot.
The storm drainage system shows storm water collected from buildings and streets
and conveyed through a pipe system to the on site storm water detention facility
and a water biofiltration swale within Tract "A" at the northwest corner. The storm
water will discharge to culverts on South Star lake Road which will direct the water
eventually to the headwaters of McSorley Creek located within the City of Kent. The
City has identified downstream conveyance problems along South Star lake Road,
and the City of Kent has identified capacity and conveyance problems in the
McSorley Creek watershed. The Cities of Federal Way and Kent have entered into
an interlocal agreement designating the Star lake Road drainage sub-basin as a
level III flow control area per the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual.
The Manual requires the applicant to design the storm water detention facility to the
level III flow control standard. The storm water design and plat drainage elements
must meet applicable City storm water regulations.
17.
At the hearing the applicant questioned the necessity of providing a 20 foot wide
pedestrian access from the plat road to the elementary school, asserting that a 10
to 12 foot wide path should be adequate. Section 20-156 FWCC addresses
pedestrian and bicycle access. Said section states in pertinent part as follows:
(a)
In addition to the sidewalks required in section 22-1471
regarding requirements to rights-of-way and vehicular
EXHIBLT ~
PAGE~OF -L!-
Page - 5
18.
19.
easements, pedestrian and bicycle access should be provided
for established or planned safe school routes, bikeways, trails,
transit stops, and general circulation.
(b)
Pedestrian and bicycle access shall be provided in 20 feet of
dedicated right of way. Paved width shall be 12 feet....
Thus, the FWCC specifically requires pedestrian and bicycle pathways within a 20
foot wide, dedicated right-of-way.
The Examiner questioned the necessity of both a pedestrian corridor to the
elementary school and a walkway along South Star lake Road to the elementary
school driveway (two paved walkways to the school). However, review of the staff
evaluation for the environmental checklist establishes that the 20 foot wide
pedestrian corridor provides access for students to the elementary school without
having to walk along a busy arterial. The pedestrian corridor along South Star lake
Road provides a safe walking condition for senior and junior high students to the
bus stop at the intersection of South Star lake Road and 25th Drive South.
The applicant requested authority to perform mass grading on the site. However,
the applicant's grading plan, reviewed and approved by the City, shows grading for
roads and utilities only. Staff stated that mass grading could be considered under
unusual circumstances, but that none exists on the present site. Both sides refer to
Section 20-179 FWCC as setting forth grading requirements, and said section
states:
All natural vegetation shall be retained on the site to be subdivided
except that which will be removed for improvements or grading
approved in the preliminary subdivision or short subdivision.
Along with its application for preliminary plat approval, the applicant submitted its
grading plan showing grading for roads and utilities only. If the applicant now
desires to mass grade the site to include the road, utilities, and building pads, it
should request that the record remain open for submittal of a revised grading plan
and review by the City. Furthermore, the environmental official in performing SErA
review evaluated the applicant's environmental checklist which, in response to the
question regarding the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of filling and
grading, stated:
Road and minor lot grading is anticipated on the site....
EXHlEUT - D -
PAGE~~
Page - 6
Road and minor lot grading does not constitute mass grading as described by the
applicant. Therefore, unless the applicant submits a new grading plan as part of the
preliminary plat review process, the Examiner cannot alter the approved grading
plans.
20.
The applicant requested that the landscape tract not be placed in a separate tract,
and questioned how the homeowner's association would access said tract to
maintain the landscaping. Staff responded by stating that Section 20-178 FWCC
requires the landscaping in a separate tract. Section 20-178 states:
(a)
Subdivision design should provide ample buffers to shield new
residences from arterial streets, or established land uses
adjacent to the subdivision, under the provisions of sections
22-1572 through 22-1575 regarding landscaping as follows....
Neither Section 20-178 nor Article XVII FWCC entitled "Landscaping" contains a
requirement that landscaping buffers be dedicated to the homeowner's association.
The Examiner could find no code sections requiring landscape dedications,
easements, etc. However, Section 22-1563 FWCC states in part:
(a)
No permits shall be issued to erect, construct or undertake any
development project without prior approval of a landscape plan
by the department of community development.
The question then is whether the Department has authority to require that
landscaping be located in tracts owned by the homeowner's association.
21.
The Washington Supreme Court in Hama Hama v. Shorelines HearinQs Board,
85 Wn. 2d 441 (1975), set forth rules for interpreting ambiguous statues. The Court
held as follows:
Finally, when a statute is ambiguous-as in the instant case-there is
the well known rule of statutory interpretation that the construction
placed upon a statute by an administrative agency charged with its
administration and enforcement, while not absolutely controlling upon
the courts, should be given great weight in determining legislative
intent...At times, administrative interpretation of a statute may
approach "lawmaking," but we have heretofore recognized that it is an
appropriate function for administrative agencies to "fill in the gaps"
EXHI?C D - 0
Pl\GE -~
Page - 7
where necessary to the effectuation of a general statutory scheme.. .It
is likewise valid for an administrative agency to "fill in the gaps" by a
statutory construction - as long as the agency does not purport to
"amend" the statue. 85 Wn. 2d 441 at 448.
In the present case, the Department of Community Development Services has "filled
in a gap" in the FWCC as the landscaping requirements do not address ownership
of landscaping tracts. The Washington Supreme Court would consider the
Department's interpretation the same as it did the Department of Ecology's
interpretation of the Shoreline Management Act in Hama, supra.:
In particular, we think it cannot be said convincingly that these
agencies have arrogantly overstepped their proper functions by
purporting to "amend" the SMA. On the contrary, these agencies
have simply interpreted the conflicting provisions of the SMA in
harmony with the policy objectives to be effectuated by this
legislation. 85 Wn. 2d 441 at 448,449.
Thus, the landscape tract will be held in the ownership required by staff as part of
the landscape plan. However, the Examiner would refer the applicant and staff to
Section 22-1570 FWCC entitled Modification Options.
22.
Prior to obtaining preliminary plat approval, the applicant must establish that the
request satisfies the criteria set forth in Section 20-126(c)FWCC. Findings on each
criteria are hereby made as follows:
A.
As previously found, the project is consistent with the Single Family-High
Density designation of the comprehensive plan.
B.
The proposed plat complies with all applicable provisions of the FWCC
including those adopted by reference from the comprehensive plan to include
Chapter 18, Environmental Policy; Chapter 20, Subdivisions; and Chapter
22, Zoning.
C.
The project is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare and
makes appropriate provision for open spaces, drainage ways, streets, roads,
alleys, other public ways, fire protection, sanitary waste, potable water,
schools and school grounds, safe walking conditions, and parks and
playgrounds,
EXHIQ!:r ~

E.
The project is consistent with the design criteria set forth in Section 20-2
FWCC, subject to compliance with conditions of approval.
The project also complies with development standards set forth in Sections
20-151-157 and 20-158-187 FWCC.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
From the foregoing findings the Hearing Examiner makes the following conclusions:
1.
The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to consider and decide the issues presented
by this request.
The proposed preliminary plat of Star lake Vista is consistent with the City of
Federal Way Comprehensive Plan and meets all bulk regulations of the RS 7.2
zone classification.
2.
The proposed preliminary plat satisfies all criteria set forth in Section 20-126 (c)
FWCC and will serve the public use and interest by providing an attractive location
for a single family residential subdivision adjacent to an elementary school.
Therefore, the Federal Way City Council should approve the preliminary plat of Star
lake Vista subject to the following conditions:
3.
1.
Chain link or cyclone fencing, if used, shall be black or green vinyl coated
and shall be surrounded by vegetation in order to screen the detention facility
from the plat, the right of way and surrounding properties.
2.
The final plat map shall depict the slopes in excess of 40 percent and a 25-
foot setback from the slopes. The final plat map shall contain a note that the
owners of lots 15, 16, and 17 shall provide geotechnical analysis of these
areas in conformance with FWCC Section 22-1286 should development or
land surface modification activities occur on or within 25 feet of the steep
slope area.
3.
Retaining walls and rockery design shall be harmonious with existing
adjoining residential uses, and shall promote residential design themes
through such means as terracing, orientation, natural material selection, use
of vegetation, and textural treatment.
4.
To provide a safe route of travel for school children, the applicant shall install

CLARIFICATOIN OF DECISION REGARDING PRELIMINARY
PLAT OF STAR LAKE VISTA, FWHE #00-29, (99-100613-00-SU)
On December 18, 2000, the Examiner issued a decision recommending approval
of the preliminary plat of Star lake Vista. There were two inadvertent errors in
the decision as noted below:
1.
Preliminary plat's are not reviewed under Process IV, but are
reviewed under the provisions of Federal Way City Code
(FWCC) Chapter 20, Division 6, Preliminary Plat.
2.
There is no right to reconsideration and challenge of the
Hearing Examiner recommendation under the preliminary
plat process. Pursuant to FWCC Section 20-127 (attached
hereto), following receipt of the final report and
recommendation of the Hearing Examiner, a date shall be
set for a public meeting before the City Council.
This memo serves to clarify these processes and recommendation.

CITY COUNCIL REVIEW, ACTION
Pursuant to Section 20-127, following receipt of the final report and recommendation of
the hearing examiner, a date shall be set for a public meeting before the city council.
The city council review of the preliminary plat application shall be limited to the record of
the hearing before the hearing examiner, oral comments received during the public
meeting (so long as those comments do not raise new issues or information not
contained in the examiner's record) and the hearing examiner's written report. These
materials shall be reviewed for compliance with decisional criteria set forth in section 20-
126. The city council may receive new evidence or information not contained in the
record of hearing before the hearing examiner, but only if that evidence or information: (i)
relates to the validity of the hearing examiner's decision at the time it was made and the
party offering the new evidence did not know and was under no duty to discover or could
not reasonably have discovered the evidence until after the hearing examiner's decision;
or (ii) the hearing examiner improperly excluded or omitted the evidence from the record.
If the city council concludes, based on a challenge to the hearing examiner
recommendation or its own review of the recommendation, that the record compiled by
the hearing examiner is incomplete or not adequate to allow the city council to make a
decision on the application, the city council may by motion remand the matter to the
hearing examiner with the direction to reopen the hearing and provide supplementary
findings and/or conclusions on the matter or matters specified in the motion.
After considering the recommendation of the hearing examiner, the city council may
adopt or reject the hearing examiner's recommendations based on the record
established at the public hearing. If, after considering the matter at a public meeting, the
city council deems a change in the hearing examiner's recommendation approving or
disapproving the preliminary plat is necessary, the city council shall adopt its own
recommendations and approve or disapprove the preliminary plat.
As part of the final review, the city council may require or approve a minor modification
to the preliminary plat if:
(a)
(b)
(d)
The change will not have the effect of increasing the residential density of the
plat;
The change will not result in the relocation of any access point to an exterior
street from the plat;
The change will not result in any loss of open space or buffering provided in the
plat; and
The city determines that the change will not increase any adverse impacts or
undesirable effects of the project and that the change does not significantly alter
the project.

HEARING EXAMINER'S RECOMMENDATION
On November 1,2002, the Federal Way Hearing Examiner issued a Report and
Recommendation (Exhibit A) to approve the proposed Orchid Lane preliminary plat, and the
Examiner issued a revised condition number five of preliminary plat approval on November 7,
2002 (Exhibit B). The Hearing Examiner's recommendation includes all but one condition
recommended by staff, and one minor revision to condition number six regarding ownership of
non-motorized access tracts. The Hearing Examiner did not recommend approval of staff
recommended condition number seven, requiring a neighborhood traffic meeting and
implementation of traffic calming devices used to control traffic volumes and speeds.
The Examiner's recommendation was issued following consideration of a staff report (Exhibit C)
and testimony presented at the October 22, 2002, public hearing, and is subject to the following
conditions:
1.
Final plat approval shall require full compliance with drainage provisions set forth in the
FWCC. Level I storm water runoff control (detention) for the majority of the site shall be
provided by the Panther Lake Regional Stonnwater Facility. The developer is required to
analyze the downstream drainage system to the Panther Lake Regional Stonnwater Facility
to verifY adequate capacity; to design and construct new conveyance facilities; and to
reconstruct any portions of the conveyance system necessary to accommodate the increase
in runoff. In addition, the applicant will be required to pay a pro-rata share for off-site
detention capacity to be determined by the City. The final plat shall not be recorded and
construction of the offsite drainage conveyance system shall not begin until the necessary
offsite easements have been recorded.
The developer shall provide a treatment and detention facility for runoff from the remaining
portion of the west basin that cannot be conveyed to the east basin due to topographic
constraints. Final review of the stormwater quality and detention will occur in conjunction with
the full drainage review.
2.
The final plat drawing shall establish Tract A as an open space tract to be owned in
common and maintained by the homeowners association of the proposed subdivision. The
final plat note shall include provisions prohibiting removal or disturbance of vegetation and
landscaping within the regulated wetlands and buffers in Tract A, except as necessary for
maintenance or replacement of existing plantings and as approved by the City. A note shall
be included on the final plat map that the open space tracts shall not be developed with any
buildings, and may not be used for financial gain.
3.
Prior to issuance of construction permits, a final landscape plan prepared by a licensed
landscape architect, shall be submitted to the City for approval and shall include the
following elements:
A. Open space landscaping in Tract B;
B. Street trees in right-of-way landscape planter strips;

School toUches the southeast comer of the site within the BP A easement. The site Itself
is within the RS-7.2 zone classificacion and the Single Family High Density designacion
of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan.
Soils on the site consist of AldelWood gravelly sandy loam which are capable of
supporting urban development and which have a slow to medium storm water runoff
and moderate erosion hazard. The applicant proposes to mass grade the site due to the
small lot sizes, reduced construCtion costs, reduced U1Jck traffic, and better erosion
control. Staff supports the applicant's proposal.
The topography consists of a gradual slope rising from north to soum wim a gradual
slope down to the west. No steep slopes or other geological hazardous areas exist on
the site.
Vegetation consists of a mixed second growth forest of deciduous and conifer trees and
a dense story of shrubs. The applicant has submitted a significant tree sulVey/retencion
plan which proposes removal of more than 75% of the significant trees. The plan also
proposes to plant replacement trees wimin open space Tract B. The applicant must
secure approval of a tree clearing plan and landscape plan in accordance with Seccion
20-158 FWCc. .
As previously found, a Type 2 wetland with 100 foot wide buffer in the northwest
comer of the site will remain in dleir nawral condition. A mitigating measure set forth
in the SEPA MDNS requires fencing and signing of the perimeter of the buffer to
minimize inU1Jsions. ..
The applicant engaged Terra Associates, Inc., to prepare a wildlife habitat evaluation
(Exhibit" 15"). The Oty's expert, Sheldon and Associates, Inc" reviewed the
evaluation and concurred with its findings and conclusions. While the site provides
habitat for a number of animal species, none are listed as threatened, endangered, or
sensitive. The applicant will mitigate the disruption of wildlife habitat by retaining
approximately 4.6 acres of the site in open space to include the wetland and buffer.
The applicant proposes a cluSter subdivision pursuant [0 Section 20-153 FWCc. Said
section authorizes development of the sire with the same number of lots that could be
recognized if developed with a conventional subdivision. The formula set forth therein
would allow a development of 62 lots, and as previously found, the applicant proposes

50 lots. Section 20-154 FWCC provides that an applicant may reduce the lot size In
a cluster subdivision to one-half of the size of the underlying zoning requirement, but
in no case smaller than 3,600 square feet. As previously found, the site is located
within the RS-7.2 zone classification which requires a minimum lot size of 7,200
square feet. Secùon 20-154 authorizes reduction of lot size to a minimum lot size of
3t600 square feet. As previously found, the applicant's minimum lot size will equal
4,614 square feet, well above the authorized minimum.
Section 20-1 54(e) FWCC requires the plat to provide 15% of the site as usable open
space. Tract B, located near the northeast comer, contains 104,709 square feet, is
proposed for a usable open space area, and calculates to 15.03% of the site. The
applicant will install an inigated, open lawn, play area, landscaping, gravel, a pedesnian
path, and children's tot lot. Approximately tWo-thirds of Tract B will remain in its
natUral condition as native open space. Since futUre homeowners will own Tract B,
they could develop other portions mereofwith active recreational uses. Tracts G and
H, located at the southeast comer of the plat on either side of 12th Ave. SW, provide
an additional 7,000 square feet of open space.
The applicant will construa sidewalks along both sides of internal plat Streets and on
one side of both 12th Ave. SW and SW 344th St. across the plat frontage. The
applicant will also provide a pedestrian link from the north cul-de-sac to the north
property line. Additional pedestrian paths will link the south internal cul-de-sac with
12th Ave- SW, SW 344th St., and the BPA pedestrian trail.
Upon build-out the subdivision will generate approximately 478 average daily nips, 51
of which will occur during the p.m. peak period. Said trips will utilize both 12th Ave.
SW and SW 344m St. and will impact several off-site intersections identified in the
MDNS. The applicant will improve 12th Ave. SW across the plat frontage to a three
quarter street standard for a principal collector, and will dedicate right-of-way therefor
in widths which vary from 56 to 70 feet. The applicant will constrUct SW 344th St.
across the plat frontage to three quarter street improvement standards and will dedicate
28 feet of right-of-way- The applicant will also construa SW 344th St. from the west
plat boundary to I 5th PI. SW [0 half street Standards. Internal plat roads will consist
of 32 feet of pavement, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks within a 56 foot wide right-of-
way. As required by the MDNS, the applicant will also make pro rata payments to five
off-site Transportation Improvement Plan projects in the total amount of $ 77,200.
As shown in its school walking route analysis (Exhibit "18"), the applicant has provided
continuous pedesnian facilities to ShelWood Forest Elementary School and to bus StOpS
servicing swdents attending lIIahee Junior High School and Federal Way High School.

The applicant will also comply with the City's School Impact Fee Ordinance.
Parks convenient to the site include the Oty's BPA trail and Sagflalie Park, located
approximately one mile from the site via public streets or the BPA trail. Other nearby
parks include the Panther Lake Park and the King County Aquatic Center.
The Lakehaven Utility District will provide both domestic water and fire flow to the site
and sewer service to each lot.
The applicant must construct the project stOnn drainage facilities in accordance with
the requirements of the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM)
and the Oty's amendments thereto. The Preliminary StOnnwater Technical Infonnation
Report (ExhibIt °22") shows that the site falls within tWo drainage subbasins which
converge approximately one mile downstream. The preliminary design proposes to
collect and convey water from both basins into a water quality treatment facility located
in Tract C at the northeast comer of the site adjacent to 12th Ave. SW. The water wiD
evenroally flow from the pond into the Panther Lake regional facility. Furore builders
will direct roof runoff from lots 13 through 19 to the wetland buffer.
Prior to approving a preliminary plat the Examiner must find that the request sadsfies
the criteria set forth in Section 20-126(c) FWCC Findings on each criteria are hereby
made as follows:
As previously found, the project is consistent with the Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan which designates the site as Single Family-High Density.
The applicant proposes a high density, single family cluster plat with lot sizes
varying roughly betWeen 4,000 and 8,000 square feet.
B-
AssumIng compliance with conditions of approval, the project will meet all
applicable provisions of FWCC Chapters 18, 20, and 22 and those provisions
adopted by reference from the comprehensive plan.
The project is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare assuming
compliance with conditions of approval and wim applicable codes and
regulations.
The proposed preliminary plat is consistent wim the design criteria set forth in
Section 20-2 FWCC including mose criteria addressing me effective use of land,
promotion of safe and convenient travel on streets, provision for the housing
needs of the community, protection of environmentally sensitive areas, and
EXHIBIT '0 A

Page - 6
preservation of pellTlanent open space,
E.
The preliminary plat complies with the development standards set forth In
Sections 20-151 through 157 and Sections 20-158 through 187.
21.
At the commencement of the hearing the applicant objected to the imposition of a
mitigating measure set forth in the MDNS, specifically the $58,300 payment for the
project's trips using lOth Ave. SW. In addition, the applicant challenged the wording
of several of the City's Findings of Fact and proposed conditions of approval. During
the course of the hearing the applicant and the City reached agreement on the MDNS
measure as well the language for Findings of Fact and for conditions of approval with
the exception of Condition No.7 which reads as follows:
7.
Prior to final engineering plan approval; the applicant shall
meet with neighborhood groups to address traffic impaCtS. The
meeting shall áddress neighborhood concerns pertaining to
potential Increase in traffic volumes and speeds as result of the
development.. The intent of the meeting is to develop
consensus on traffic calming devices confollTling to aty
requirements to be installed by the applicant prior to recording
of final plat, Current craffic calming devices used to control
volumes and speeds include speed humps, speed tables, traffic
circles, chicanes, curb eXtensions, signs, pavement markings,
or other devices as approved by the Public Works DireCtOr.
While the Examiner has found that meetings betWeen an applicant and residents of an
area are very beneficial as such allows the residents to become familiar with the project
and allows an applicant to address citizen concerns in an ¡nfollTlal setting. Issues such
as condition no- 7 can be addressed in such a meeting where approprIate, However,
such meetings should occur plior to preliminary plat approval where residents and the
applicant have an oppommity to voice their concerns regarding proposed mitigating
measures and not after the hearing where the Examiner has no further jurisdiction.
FurthellTlore, neither the FWCC, the comprehensive plan, nor City policies and
regulations require an applicant to conduct such meeting. Thus, while beneficial, such
meetings are voluntary.

GENERAL INFORMA nON
A.
Description afthe Proposal- The applicant proposes to subdivide two vacant parcels totaling 15.9
acres, into 50 residential single-family lots in a cluster subdivision, with each lot having a minimum
of 4,614 square fcet and an average lot size of 5,413 square feel. Since the proposal is for a cluster
subdivision, pursuant to FWCC Section 20-154, the minimum lot size may be up to one half the
size of the underlying zoning requirement, but in no case smaller than 3,600 square feel.

StAtTReport to Ille Hearing Examiner
II.
In an October 9, 2002, letter (Exhibit 12), the applicant has requested to generally shift a portion
of the proposed alignment of 12th Avenue SW approximately 14-fcct to the east, from the
alignment depicted on the preliminary plat map and associated drawings. The 14-foot shift will
result in deeper or wider lots because of grade constraints and reduce the amount of dedication on
12th Avenue SW. The preliminary plat map does not depict this approximately 14-foot shift to the
east. However, this shift does not modify the nwnber of proposed lots or substantially change the
internal lot and road configuration.
B.

c
In accordance with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A) and FWCC Chapter 18,
"Environmental Protection," all property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the site, and all
affected agencies, were notified of the proposed action and the City's environmental decision. In
addition, the site was posted and notice placed in the newspaper and on the City's official notice
boards.
III.
STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT
A Mitigated Environmental Determination of Non significance (MONS) was issued by the City of
Federal Way for the proposed action on July 3, 2002 (Exhibit 5). This determination was based on review
of information in the project file, including the environmental checklist (Exhibit 6) and staff evaluation of
the environmental checklist for Orchid Lane (Exhibit 7), resulting in the conclusion that the proposal
would not result in probable significant adverse impacts on the environment provided the applicant
complies with the mitigation measures in the MONS.
SEP A comments were received from Mr. Steven Carpenter (Exhibit 8) and the Bonneville Power
Administration (Exhibit 9), In addition, the City evaluated an April 27, 2000, Notice of Application
comment letter from Ms. Sandra Bacik. The City provided written responses to Mr. Carpenter and Ms.
Bacik (Exhibits 10 and 4),
No appeals on the SErA decision were submitted to the City, and the appeal period expired on July 31,
2002.
IV.
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
A.
Soils - The 1973 King County soils survey map lists the soils type as Alderwood Gravelly Sandy
Loam (Age), Alderwood soils are characterized as moderately well drained soils that have a
weakly consolidated to strongly consolidated substratum at a depth of 24 - 40 inches. AgC soils
are described as capable for urban development, runoff is slow to medium, and erosion hazard is
moderate.
Typical soils excavation will occur with the street construction, lot grading at the site of the proposed
on-site water quality treatment facility, and for utility installation. The preliminary clearing and
grading plan depicts clearing limits for construction of the following facilities: street right-of-way,
surface water pond, usable recreation area, and utility development. Additionally, due to the small lot
sizes, reduced construction costs, reduction in truck traffic, potential for better erosion control, and
efficiencies in mass clearing and grading the site, the applicant is requesting to clear and grade all of
the lots in conjunction with construction of plat infrastructure (refer to section IV,C Vegetation
below for further discussion).
8,
Topography - The site has a gradual slope rising from the north to the south, with a gradual slope
down to the west. The site does not have any steep slopes or any other g'l!XfJh ~us C
areas.
PAGE-Ï-OF 3 '3
Prehminaty Plat of Orchid Lane
SIaIT Report to 1he Hearing Examiner
OO-tO0947.Q0-SU I Doc ID 20'"
Page 3
c.
Vegetation - A mixed second growth forest consisting of deciduous and conifer trees, and a dense
understory of shrubs, occupy the site. Dominant trees include douglas fir and red alder.
A significant tree survey/retention plan (Exhibit 1, page 4), revised 9/18/02, has been submitted to
the City. The applicant has requested to remove more than 75 percent of the significant trees on-
site. and proposed to plant replacement trees within the on-site open space Tract B, to fulfill the
code required minimum 25 percent significant tree retention.
Approval of the preliminary plat is subject to submittal and approval of a tree clearing plan and
landscape plan pursuant to FWCC Section 20-158. City policy and FWCC Section 20-179 state
that existing mature vegetation shall be retained to the maximum extent possible. However, due to
the small lot sizes, reduced construction costs, reduction in truck traffic, potential for better erosion
control, and efficiencies in mass clearing and grading the site, City staff is supporting mass
clearing and grading of the site, as requested by the applicant in an October 9,2002, letter (Exhibit
12).
D.
Wetlands - One wetland exists in Tract A in the northwest side of the site. A March 7, 2000,
Wetland Evaluation and November 28, 2000, addendum by Terra Associates mc revealed one
regulated wetland on the subject property (Exhibits 13 and 14). The wetland is a Type 1I wetland
requiring a 1O0-foot buffer. No temporary or permanent intrusions into the regulated wetland or
wetland buffer are proposed.
The City's wetland consultant, Shcldon and Associates Inc., has reviewed the Terra Associates
reports and concurs with the wetland delineations and findings.
A mitigation condition of the SEP A decision requires the developer to provide fencing and signing
the perimeter of on site wetland buffer, in order to minimize potential intentional or inadvertent
wetland buffer intrusions by human activity.
E,
Wildlife and Habitat- The applicant provided a March 7, 2000, Wildlife Habitat Evaluation by
Terra Associates Inc. (Exhibit IS). The wildlife evaluation summarizes that the proposed
development is unlikely to have any significant adverse effeet on any threatened, endangered, or
sensitive species.
Sheldon and Associates Inc, has reviewed the Terra Associates wildlife evaluation and concurs
with the findings and conclusions of the wildlife evaluation.
The site provides habitat for mammals, amphibians, rodents, as well as songbirds and insects.
Some of these animals will be eliminated or displaced by the proposal. In addition, the introduction
of human activities, including domestic animals, to the site may threaten the viability of any
remaining habitat.
The primary form of wildlife habitat mitigation is through minimization of impact by retaining
approximatcly 4.6 acres of the site in open space, within Tracts A and B.

NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS
Vicinity - The property is situated in the central portion of the City, in a single-family residential area.
The site is vacant. The majority of adjacent properties to the south are developed with single-family
residences, Property to the north, east, and west are all currently undeveloped, The BP A corridor
traverses the southeast comer of the subject property. An undeveloped 50-foot wide dedicated public
right-of-way abuts the south side of the subject property.
GENERAL DESIGN
A.
Density--- Pursuant to FWCC Section 20-153, the total number oflots created in a cluster
subdivision cannot exceed the number of lots that would be permitted in a conventional subdivision
on a site of the same total area, after reservation of the required open space. The total number oflots
permitted is calculated by subtracting the required open space of 15 percent, and subtracting 20
percent for streets from the gross land available, then dividing by the minimum lot size of the
underlying zoning district. Therefore, the maximum number of lots that could be created on the
subject 15.96-acre parcel is 62 lots, based on the calculation below.

Lot Size - The proposed Orchid Lane lots range in size from 4,614 to 8,989 square feet, with an
average lot size of5,413 square feet. Pursuant to FWCC Section 20-154, lots created in a cluster
subdivision may be up to one-half the size of the underlying zoning requirement, but in no case
smaller than 3,600 square feet.
c
Open Space - To provide adequate recreational opportunities commensurate with new residential
development, FWCC Chapter 20, "Subdivisions," requires 15 percent of the site to be on-site,
usable open space (FWCC Section 20-154[e]).
Proposed Tract B contains 104,709 square feet and is provided for usable open space area. The
proposed size of Tract B exceeds the minimum 15 percent requirement for on-site usable open
space. Tract B is one contiguous 2.4-acre parcel, is accessible from two public streets, and
provides for active recreation opportunities. The usable portion of Tract B has some minor grade
change, but docs not contain any steep slopes. The applicant has proposed to develop a portion of
Tract B with an irrigated open lawn play area, landscaping, gravel pedestrian path, and children's
tot lot.
Approximately Y, of Tract B will be left in its current vegetated condition as native open space;
however, this open space area could be further developed in the future for active recreation use.
The applicant has proposed ownership of Tract B to be by the future homeowners association.
Final verification of compliance with the minimum usable open space area requirements will occur
in conjunction with review of the final plat. EXHIBIT é

approximately 51 PM peak hour weekday trips, and 478 average weekday trips. The new trips
generated by the project will have a significant adverse impact on the City's transportation
network. This proposal has been reviewed under SEP A. Pursuant to SEP A condition number four,
in order to mitigate for potential adverse transportation impacts resulting ITom the construction of
the project, the applicant must construct the impacted Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP)
projects before final plat approval. In lieu of constructing the impacted TIP projects before final
plat approval, the applicant may voluntarily offer to pay a pro-rata share contribution of
$135,500.00 towards the impacted TIP projects based on the calculation in the MONS.
PUBLIC SERVICES
A.
Schools - As part of the City's initial review of the proposal, the preliminary plat application was
referred to the Federal Way School District for comments. The developer provided a School
Walking Route Analysis (Exhibit 18) as a component of the preliminary plat application. Prior to
preparing the school access analysis, Federal Way Public Schools (Geri Walker), provided written
comments on the proposal in a November 4, 1999, letter to the City (Exhibit 19). In summary,
school students living in the proposed development will walk to Sherwood Forest Elementary
School. School students will be bussed to Illahee Junior High and Federal Way High Schools, as
these schools are over one mile ITom the site. Existing sidewalks in the neighborhood and code
required sidewalks inside the plat and along the frontage will provide adequate continuous walking
facilities to the elementary school and to the bus stops as described in the November 4, 1999,
School District letter. School service areas are reviewed annually and may be adjusted to
accommodate emollment growth and new development.
Pursuant to the November 4, 1999, letter from Federal Way Public Schools regarding the
preliminary design and layout of the Orchid Lane project, the proposed development will generate
approximately 30 school age children. The collection of school impact fees will help mitigate the
school impacts. The current school mitigation fee is $2,616.00 for a single-family residence and is
collected at building permit issuance for a residence. School impact fees are determined on the
basis of the district's Capital Facilities Plan and are subject to annual adjustment and update. The
applicable fee would be determined at the time complete individual single-family building permits
are submitted to the City.
B.
Parks & Open Space - The Orchid Lane site is adjacent to the City of Federal Way's BPA Phase 3
Trail (multi-modal transportation and recreational). In addition, Sagalie Park is approximately one
mile away from the Orchid Lane site, via public streets or the BP A TraiL Panther Lake Park and
the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center are approximately one mile ITom the site by public
roadway. On-site parks and open space requirements are discussed in Section VI of this report.
C
Fire Protection - The Certificate a/Water Availability from the Lakehaven Utility District
indicates that water will be available to the site in sufficient quantity to satisfy fire flow standards
for the proposed development. The Fire Department requires that a fire hydrant be located within
350 feet of each lot. The exact number and local ion of fire hydrants will be reviewed and approved
by the Fire Department.

UTILITIES
A.
Sewage Disposal- The applicant proposes to serve the subdivision by a public sewer system
managed by Lakehaven Utility District. A January 4, 200 I, Certificate of Sewer Availability
(Exhibit 20) indicates the district's capacity to serve the proposed development through a
Developer Extension Agreement (DEA) between the applicant and the district.
B.
Water Supply - Thc applicant proposes to serve the subdivision with a public water supply and
distribution system managed by the Lakehaven Utility District. A January 4,2001, Certificate of
Water Availability (Exhibit 21) indicates Lakehaven's capacity to serve the proposed development
through a DEA.
c
Drainage Facilities - Development of the site will create additional runoff from new impervious
surfaces such as streets, driveways, and rooftops. Storm drainage facilities are being designed in
accordance with the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the
City's amendments to the manual. The applicant's May 28, 2002, preliminary stormwater
Technical Information Report (TIR) by Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc. (Exhibit 22) was
reviewed by the City's Public Works Department.
The site falls within two drainage subbasins that converge approximately one mile downstream of
the site. The preliminary design proposes to collect and convey water from both basins through a
series of pipes and catch basins into a storm drainage water quality treatment facility located near
the northeast portion (adjacent to 12th Avenue SW) of the Orchid Lane site. A drainage adjustment
(Exhibit 23) was approved by the City of Federal Way to allow the majority of runoff from the
west basin to be conveyed to the east basin, The design anticipates that stormwater flow control
(detention) for the Orchid Lane site will be provided offsite by Panther Lake Regional Facility. The
proposal will be required to:
I) Analyze the downstream drainage system to the Panther Lake Regional stormwater
facility to verify adequate capacity. Design and construct new off-site conveyance
facilities, and reconstruct any existing portions of the conveyance system as needed to
accommodate the increase in runoff. In addition, the applicant will be required to pay a
pro-rata share for off-site detention capacity to be determined by the City. The [mal plat
shall not be recorded and construction of the offsite drainage conveyance system shall
not begin until all necessary offsite easements are recorded.
2) To maintain existing wetland hydrology, roof runoff from lots 13 through 19 shall be
dispersed through dispersion trenches located outside the wetland buffer.
3) A stormwater treatment and detention facility shall be designed and constructed in
accordance with Chapter 5 of the 1998 KCSWDM to treat and detain the remaining
stormwater runoff from the west basin, primarily from offsite street improvements on
SW 344th Street. Adequate capacity of the downstream conveyance system from Orchid
Lane Plat shall be verified and improved as necessary.
Final review of the stormwater quality and detention will occur in conjunction wilp ¡h,,~J.. L

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
Bascd on an analysis of the proposed action, environmental record, and related decisional criteria, the
Department of Community Development Services finds that:
1.
The proposed action is to subdivide two vacant parcels totaling 15.96-acres, into 50 single-family
lots, in a cluster lot configuration, There is one on-site wetland located in the northwest corner of
the property.
In an October 9, 2002, lettcr to the City, the applicant has requested to shift the horizontal
alignment of Ith Avenue SW east approximately 14-feet in order to make deeper and wider lots,
and have less dedication on Ith Avenue SW. The preliminary plat map does not depict this 14-foot
shift to the east. The 14-foot shift does not significantly change the preliminary plat design, modify
the numbcr of proposed lots, or substantially change the internal lot and road configuration.
2.
The preliminary plat application is subject to the 1998 FWCP, and the codes and regulations in
effect at the time the application was deemed complete, which was April 10,2000.
3.
The subject property is designated Single Family High Dcnsity in the 1998 FWCP.
4.
An Environmental Mitigated Determination of Non significance (MDNS) was issued for this
proposed action on July 3, 2002. No appeals of the SEP A decision were submitted to the City prior
to expiration of the SEPA appeal deadline of July 31, 2002.
5.
Zoning for the site is RS-7.2, (minimum lot size 7,200 square feet). Properties on all sides of the
subject property are also zoned RS 7.2, except the property to the east which is zoned RM 3,600.
The proposed residential subdivision and density is consistent with applicable zoning and
subdivision regulations applicable to a lot cluster plat.
6.
Pursuant to FWCC Section 20-154, the lot size in a cluster subdivision may be reduced up to y, the
minimum lot sizc of the underlying zoning designation, but in no case smaller than 3,600 square
feet. Therefore, the minimum lot size allowed on the project is 3,600 square feet. All proposed lots
exceed the minimum size required and the average proposed lot size is 5,413 square feet.
7,
Pursuant to FWCC Section 20-153, on this 15.96-acre site, the maximum number of lots allowed
is 62, The maximum number of lots allowed is calculated by subtracting 15 percent of the gross
land area for open space and subtracting 20 percent for streets, and dividing the remaining area by
the underlying zoning lot size, The 50 proposed lots comply with applicable maximum lot count
standards.

As proposed, each lot contains an adequate size and shape building envelope to contain a future
single-family residence. Building setback lines (BSBL) are identified on the preliminary plat map.
9.
One wetland exists in Tract A along the northwest side of the site. A March 7, 2000, wetland
evaluation and November 28, 2000, addendum by Terra Associates Inc revealed one regulated
wetland on the subject property, The wetland is a Type II wetland requiring a 100-foot buffer. No
temporary or permanent intrusions into the regulated wetland or wetland buffer area.
The City's wetland consultant, Sheldon and Associates Inc., has reviewed the Terra Associates
reports and generally concurred with the wetland delineations and findings
Tract A will be delineated as a separate tract, and owned and maintained by the subdivision
property owners. In order to ensure future protection of the on-site wetland and buffer in tract A, a
note shall be included on the fmal plat that the open space tract shall not be developed with any
buildings, may not be used for financial gain, and removal or disturbance of vegetation and
landscaping within the regulated wetlands and buffers in Tract A is prohibited, except as necessary
for maintenance or replacement of existing plantings and as approved by the City.
A condition of the SEP A decision requires the developer to provide fencing and signing the
perimeter of on-site wetland buffer in order to minimize potential intentional or inadvertent
wetland buffer intrusions by human activity.
10.
The applicant provided a Wildlife Habitat Evaluation by Terra Associates Inc., March 7, 2000
(Exhibit 10). The proposed development, when completed, will displace approximately 10 acres of
habitat for small mammals, rodents, reptiles, birds, and insects. Some of these animals will be
eliminated or displaced by the proposal. In addition, the introduction of human activities, including
domestic animals, to the site may threaten the viability of any remaining habitat. The wildlife
evaluation summarizes that the proposed development is unlikely to have any significant adverse
effect on any threatened, endangered, or sensitive species. The primary form of wildlife habitat
mitigation is through minimization of impact by retaining approximately 4,6 acres of the site in
open space, within Tracts A and B.
Acting as a consultant to the City, Sheldon and Associates Inc. reviewed the Terra Associates
wildlife evaluation and generally concur with the findings and conclusions of the wildlife
evaluation.
11. The cluster plat regulations are intended to promote open space and protect natural features. The
proposed plat results in preservation of approximately 33 percent of the site in open space with
approximately 4,9 acres of usable and constrained open space.
12
In accordance with FWCC Section 20-154(e), a cluster subdivision must provide all required open
space (15 percent) on site and it must all be usable. In a September 24,2002, letter from Harbour
Homes to the City of Federal Way (Exhibit II), the applicant has agreed to comply with the City's
open space requirements as described in the letter.
Total usable minimum open space required for this plat is 104,300 square feet (2.4 acres). To
comply with the open space requirements, the applicant proposes to provide afilll~~ IT
104,700 square feet (2,4 acres) of on-site usable open space, contained withinlCiAmltJ

Tract B is one contiguous 2.4-acre parcel, is accessible úom two public streets, and provides for
active recreation opportunities. The usable portion of Tract B has some minor grade change but
does not contain any steep slopes. The applicant has proposed to develop a portion of Tract B with
an irrigated open lawn play area, landscaping, gravel pedestrian path, and children's tot lot
Approximately :y, of Tract B will be left in its current vegetated condition as native open space;
however, this area could be further developed in the future for active recreation area. The applicant
has proposed ownership of Tract B to be by the future homeowners association. Final verification
of compliance with the minimum usable open space area requirements will occur in conjunction
with review of the fmal plat
Tracts G and H, identified on the preliminary plat map, also provide approximately 7,000 square
feet of open space. Final provisions for ownership and maintenance of Tracts G and H must be
provided on the final plat map.
13.
Construction of plat infrastructure and lot clearing will result in clearing and grading the whole
site, except for Tract A and a portion of Tract B. In a October 9, 2002, letter úom Barghausen
Engineers Inc. (Exhibit 12), the applicant has requested to mass clear and grade all developed
portions of the site in conjunction with construction of the plat infrastructure. City policy and
FWCC Section 20-179 states that existing mature vegetation shall be retained to the maximum
extent possible; however, due to the small lot sizes, reduced construction costs, reduction in truck
traffic, potential for better erosion control, and efficiencies in mass clearing and grading the site,
City staff is supporting mass clearing and grading of the site due to the circumstances cited in the
applicants written request
14.
The site is occupied by a mixed second growth forest consisting of deciduous and conifer trees, and
a dense understory of shrubs, Dominant trees include douglas fir and red alder. A significant tree
retention plan (Exhibit I, revised 9/18/02) has been submitted to the City. The applicant has
requested to remove more than 75 percent of the significant trees on-site, and proposed to plant
replacement trees within the on-site open space Tract B, to fulfill the code required minimum 25
percent significant tree retention. Approval of the preliminary plat is subject to submittal and
approval of a tree clearing plan and landscape plan pursuant to FWCC Section 20-158.
15,
Prior to issuance of construction permits, the applicant will be required to submit a fmallandscape
plan addressing open space landscaping in Tract B, stoon drainage tract screening and
landscaping, street trees, and significant tree preservation/replacement plan. In compliance with the
KCSWDM and Federal Way amendments, visual screening of the SIOon drainage Tract C úom
adjacent right-of-way is necessary to mitigate visual impacts along a collector street, and shall be
accomplished with fencing and landscaping. Cyclone fencing, if used, shall be coated black or
grcen, and vegetation comparable to a FWCC Type III buffer shall be provided between the Tract
C fence and 12th Avenue right-of-way,
16.
Development of the site will create additional runoff from new impervious surfaces such as streets,
driveways, and rooftops. Stoon drainage facilities are being designed in accordance with the 1998
KCSWDM and the City's amendments to the manual. The applicant's preliminary storm drainage
TIR (addendum) by Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc., May 28, 2002, was reviewed and

the majority of the west basin to be treated and conveyed along with runoff from the east basin.
Water quality treatment is required on-site and is proposed in Tract C. The applicant has proposed
a fee-in-lieu for offsite detention in the Panther Lake Regional Stormwater Facility for the majority
of the site, and a treatment and detention facility for a portion of the west basin. Offsite
conveyance facilities will be constructed and/or reconstructed to assure adequate conveyance
capacity to the regional facility.
In conjunction with off-site improvements, the proposed water quality treatment and offsite
detention in compliance with KCSWDM as adopted by the City is adequate to serve the proposed
development. Final review and approval of the storm drainage facilities as shown on the
engineering plan will occur in conjunction with full drainage review.
17.
Based on the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by TP & E Engineers Inc, February 29, 2000, and
May 30, 200 I, TP & E letter, the development will generate approximately 51 PM peak hour
weekday trips, and 478 average weekday trips. The new trips generated by the project will have a
signifièant impact on the City's transportation network. This proposal has been reviewed under the
State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A). Pursuant to SEP A condition number four, in order to
mitigate for potential adverse transportation impacts resulting from the construction of the project,
the applicant must construct the impacted Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) projects before
final plat approval. In lieu of constructing these impacted TIP projects before [mal plat approval,
the applicant may voluntarily offer to pay a pro-rata share contribution of $135,500.00 towards the
impacted TIP projects based on the calculation in the MONS.
18.
Access to the site will be provided by the northward extension of 12'" Avenue SW and westerly
extension of SW 344'" from 12'" Avenue SW to 15'" Place SW. Both SW 344'" Street and 12'"
Avenue SW arc identified as Principle Collector streets in the 1998 FWCP. In accordance with the
FWCC, all street improvements must be dedicated as City right-of-way (except the private access
tracts) and improved to full street standards
The City's Traffic Engineer has reviewed the project and concluded that the proposed street layout
of the Orchid Lane subdivision is consistent with the adopted codes and comprehensive plan in
place at the time of the complete application, To ensure provisions have been made to allow future
connection of 12'" Avenue SW to the north of the Orchid Lane site, the applicant provided a
conceptual alignment plan for the 12th Avenue extension trom Orchid Lane to Campus Drive. In a
September 24, 2002, lctter from Harbour Homes to the City of Federal Way (Exhibit 11), the
applicant has agrced to comply with the City's street improvement and right-of-way requirements
as described in the letter. The following identifies street improvements and right-of-way dedication
necessary to provide safe and efficient access to the Orchid Lane project, in compliance with
applicable City codes.
Preliminary Plat of Orchid Lane

For 12'" Avenue SW, dedication of right-of-way varies between 70 feet at both the
north and south property lines, and 56 feet of right-of-way along the bulk of the east
property frontage. Improvements will be placed to the furthest extent possible to the
east, placing the curb two feet from the east property line. A grading easement from the
adjacent property owner will be required, Construction shall be to cross-section "M,"
principal collector standards, including 36 feet of pavement, vertical curb, gutter,
EXHIBIT c.

eight-foot wide sidewalk, streetlights, and six-foot wide planter strip on the west side,
and vertical curb and gutter on the east side.
Dedication of on-site local access street within 56-foot rights-of-way, and construction
to cross-section "U," local access street standards, including 32 feet of pavement,
vertical curbs, gutters, street trees, four-foot wide planter strips, streetlights, and five-
foot wide sidewalks on both sides. Road D is necessary to meet perimeter block
standards in FWCC Section 20-151, and to provide reasonable access provisions for
future development. For Road D, construction of the improvements may end a
reasonable distance east of the western property line to allow construction without an
easement from the adjoining property owner, and to allow construction without the
need for temporary retaining walls.
For SW 344'" Street frontage, dedication of 28 feet of right-of-way. Construction shall
be to cross-section "K," principle collector standards, including 44 feet of pavement,
vertical curb, gutter, six-foot wide planter strip, and eight-foot wide sidewalk on the
north side; vertical curb and 12-foot wide sidewalk on the south side from the east
property line to the western edge of the BPA trail; and thickened edge only on the south
side from the western edge of the BP A trail to the western property line.
For SW 344'" Street off-site, construction to cross-section "K," principle collector
standards, with half-street improvements including 22 feet of pavement sloped to the
south, and a thickened edge on the south side. Vertical curb, gutter, sidewalk, planter
strip, and streetlights are not required. Additionally, with regard to storm drainage for
the off-site portion of SW 344'" Street, the applicant may not need to construct the wet
vault, as currently shown on the conceptual plans, if an alternative is presented that
complies with the requirements of the 1998 KCSWDM.
Off site improvements within the existing 50-foot wide right-of-way for SW 344'" Street are
required in order for the Orchid Lane proposal to meet the maximum cul-de-sac length standard of
600 feet contained in FWCC Section 20-15 L In addition, the off-site improvements to SW 344'"
are necessitated to comply with the maximum number of250 average daily traffic trips on a local
access street, identified in FWCC Section 22-1528.
19,
Based on the February 29, 2000, Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by TP & E Engineers Inc,
(Exhibit 14) and TP & E's May 30, 200 I, letter to the City of Federal Way (Exhibit 17), the new
trips generated by the development would utilize residential streets to gain access onto arterial
streets (SW 356'" Street and SW Campus Drive). As such, the City requested the developer to
address the impact of the new trips on the surrounding neighborhood. The study provided by the
applicant concluded that the development would contribute one trip every two minutes during the
PM peak hour to the existing neighborhood. Past experiences on similar residential plats in the
City has prompted City staff to take a pro-active approach in addressing potential increase in
traffic volumes and speeds in the surrounding neighborhood. Parklane and Campus Highlands, two
neighborhoods that would be impacted by the development, have petitioned the City in the past for
relief from "cut-through" traffic. In addition, the City has received two letters from property
owners concerning traffic generated by the development. Therefore, staff recommends the
applicant address neighborhood traffic concerns with residents around the area of the proposed plat
as requested by City staff. EXHIBIT L

width with vertical curb, gutter, and five-foot wide sidewalks on both sides of the street. Tract
length shall be limited to a maximum of ISO feet ITom face of curb to end of the tract. The
Department of Community Development Services issued a September 30, 2002, interpretation
regarding the number of lots permitted to abut a private access corridor (Exhibit 24). The design
and layout of Tract D and E and the surrounding lots are consistent with the September 30, 2002,
Private Access Tract Interpretation.
21.
As part of the City's initial review of the proposal, the preliminary plat application was referred to
the Federal Way School District for comments. The developer provided a School Walking Route
Analysis as a component of the preliminary plat application. Prior to preparing the school access
analysis, Federal Way Public Schools (Geri Walker), provided written comments on the proposal
in a November 4, 1999, letter to the City. In summary, school students living in the proposed
development would walk to Sherwood Forest Elementary School. School students will be bussed to
mahee Junior High and Federal Way High Schools, as these schools are over one mile ITom the
site, Existing sidewalks in the neighborhood and code required sidewalks inside the plat and along
the frontage should provide adequate continuous walking facilities to the elementary school and to
the bus stops as described in the November 4, 1999, School District letter.
Pursuant to the November 4, 1999, letter ITom Federal Way Public Schools regarding the
preliminary design and layout of the Orchid Lane project, the proposed development will generate
approximately 30 school age children. The collection of school impact fees will help mitigate the
school impacts. The current school mitigation fee is $2,616.00 for a single-family residence, and is
collected at building permit issuance for a residence. School impact fees are determined on the
basis of the district's Capital Facilities Plan and are subject to annual adjustment and update. The
applicable fee would be determined at the time complete individual single-family building permits
are submitted to the City.
22. Non-motorized access connections are provided in Tracts I and J in the southeast comer of the site,
and a non-motorized access connection (stub) is provided in Tract F at the north end of the site.
These non-motorized access connections provide safe walking areas and fulfill the non-motorized
block perimeter standards in FWCC Section 20-15 I. Improvements in Tracts F, I, and J shall be
constructed to FWCP cross-section 72, with a 12-foot paved section, and four feet oflandscaping
on each side, within a 20-foot wide tract. Tract F shall be owned and maintained by the
homeowners association, as it is an extension off a private access tract. Tracts I and J may be
public or private.
Sidewalks will be provided along both sides of all interior plat streets all street ITontages, and
sidewalks will be constructed on one side of both the 12th Avenue SW and SW 344th ITontages.
SEP A condition number three requires reconstruction and re-aligrnnent of any portions of the City
of Federal Way BPA Trail impacted by on-site or off-site improvements associated with the
proposal. The reconstruction and realigrnnent of the BP A trail will be on both sides of 12th A venue

SUMMARY /BACKGROUND:
Residents in the vicinity of 8th Avenue S between S 3 12th Street and S 304th Street have requested the installation of
traffic calming devices in that area based on concerns of high traffic speeds. Currently, adopted NTS installation
criteria are based on a point system as follows:
Points PDO Injury Average Daily 85th Percentile Speed
AccidentsN ear AccidentsNear Traffic (mph in either direction)
(5-year history) (5-year history) (two-way total)
0.5 0.3-0.5 0.1 500-1100 26-29
1.0 0.5-0.7 0.2 1101-1700 29.1-32
1.5 0.7-0.9 0.3 1701-2300 32.1-35
2.0 0.9-1.1 0.4 2301-2900 35.1-38
2.5 1.1-1.3 0.5 2901-3500 38.1-41
3.0 More than 1.3 More than 0.5 More than 3500 More than 41
Installation criteria are met if the total number of severity points is equal to or greater than 3.0.
A traffic study indicated that the subject location would receIve 3.0 points for property damage only accident, 2.0
points for injury accidents, 1.5 point for traffic volume, and 1.5 points for traffic speed. Therefore, the total number
of points is 8.0, which meets the 3.0-point minimum to qualify for traffic calming devices installation.
On October 23, 2002 staff conducted a neighborhood meeting to discuss potential traffic calming alternatives that
might be effective in reducing speed within the neighborhood. After discussion between the neighborhood residents
and staff, and in order to mitigate the identified problems in the neighborhood, a consensus was reached to propose
the installation of two speed humps and one speed table on gth Avenue S between S 312'h Street and S 304th Street,
and one speed hump on S 30g'h Street just east of gth Ave S.
Based on the latest NTS policy revision, if a project reaches 6 or more points, the balloting process may be bypassed.
The consensus of those attending the neighborhood meeting was to exercise that right to expedite the installation of
the proposed traffic calming devices.
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: At its November 12, 2002 meeting, the Land
Use/Transportation Committee recommended approving the installation of two speed humps and one speed table on g"'
Avenue S between S 312th Street and S 304th Street, and one speed hump on S 30g'h Street just east of gth A venue S.
PROPOSED MOTION: "I move approval ofthe installation oftwo speed humps and one speed table on g'h Avenue S
between S 312'h Street and S 304th Street, and one speed hump on S 308'h Street just east of 8'h Avenue S."

ATTACHMENTS: Draft proposed Resolution to designate the residential targeted area; Staff Memo to LUTC, dated
10116/02; Staff Memo to LUTC, dated 9112/01; Resolution No. 02-374 regarding intent to designate residential targeted
area
SUMMARYIBACKGROUND: On September 17,2001 The Land Use and Transportation Committee discussed a
potential limited tax exemption for multifamily housing in the City Center, pursuant to RCW 84.14.005. At that time the
Committee recommended to City Council to pass a resolution of intent to designate the "residential targeted area" in the
City Center Core and Frame zones (see Exhibit I, "Residential Targeted Area" attached to 9112/01 Staff Memo) and to
hold a public hearing. The Staff Memo to LUTC, dated September 12,2001, is attached for reference.
On November 6, 200 I the City Council held the public hearing to consider public comment on designating the City
Center Core and Frame zones as a "residential targeted area." Comments were received from nine members of the public,
expressing comments both in favor and against the measure (see 10/16/02 Memo to LUTC for details). No action was
taken by City Council at this meeting.
Since that time Staff has met with the Fire and School Districts, as well as King County Libraries staff, and has researched
several issues raised by the public and Councilmembers regarding potential impacts to these jurisdictions. The results of
this research can be summarized as follows (see 10116/02 Memo to LUTC for details):
Schools: City Center mixed-use/multifamily buildings are anticipated to generate fewer students per unit than multifamily
complexes in the neighborhoods. Even with the limited tax exemption, substantial tax revenues to the School District
would accrue from the increased land values and the value ofthe first-floor commercial improvements in mixed-use
buildings. As a result, tax revenues per student from the City Center residential buildings during the 10-year exemption
period are expected to be equal to or even possibly greater than from neighborhood buildings. In short, there should be
low demand for Schools services during the exemption period, with revenue still accruing to the District.
Fire: Similar mixed-use/multifamily buildings in very urbanized settings in Seattle have seen very little demand for
emergency and Fire service during their first ten years. In short, during the exemption period, new mixed-use multifamily
buildings in the City Center would likely result in low demand for Fire District services, with revenue still accruing to the
District.
In summary, Staff research concluded that direct service and financial impacts of this limited tax exemption proposal to
the School and Fire Districts should be minimal during the ten-year exemption period. In fact, it is possible that financial
impacts to the School District will be positive even during the exemption period. Of course, after the ten-year exemption,
substantial new tax revenue would accrue to these jurisdictions, as well as to the City.
Last November City Council did not adopt the above-mentioned resolution of intent to designate the City Center Core and
Frame zones as a "residential targeted area" for the purposes of potentially applying the limited tax exemption for
multifamily housing because the City's official newspaper did not publish the State-required notice for two weeks'
running, as stipulated, and because City Councilmembers had raised numerous issues for Staff to research, as detailed
above.
Official notice has now been given as per State requirements for the December 3, 2002 public hearing. After the public
hearing City Council may proceed to designate the "residential targeted area" and request that Staff return to FEDRAC
and City Council in the near future with the necessary code provisions to enact the limited housing tax exemption for
multifamily housing.
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: FEDRAC recommended approval of the "residential
targeted area."
PROPOSED MOTION: "I move approval of the resolution adopting a 'residential targeted area,' encompassing the
areas currently zoned City Center Core and Frame, for limited property tax exemption for multifamily development and
directing Staff to draft the necessary code provisions to be reviewed and considered by FEDRAC and City Council."

Tax Exemption Program/or Multifamily in City Center
SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND
On September 17, 2001 The Land Use and Transportation Committee discussed a potential limited tax
exemption for multifamily housing in the City Center, pursuant to RCW 84.14.005. At that time the
Committee recommended to City Council to pass a resolution of intent to designate the "residential
targeted area" in the City Center Core and Frame zones and to hold a public hearing, The Staff memo to
LUTC, dated September 12, 200 I, is attached for reference.
(
On November 6, 2001 the City Council held the public hearing to consider public comment on
designating the City Center Core and Frame zones as a "residential targeted area." Comments were
received from nine members of the public. Those who spoke in favor of the proposal offered the
following comments:
.
a redevelopment tool that Federal Way should adopt to remain competitive with nearby
communities; .
this is a tool that costs very little and can yield a lot of result, and is one of the few tools
available to encourage City Center redevelopment;
this tool fosters GMA-mandated growth and will help lead to more transit-dependent
development;
this program could be a "kick-start" to getting more City Center development to occur
.
.
Those who spoke against the proposal offered the following comments:
.
concerns over increased demand for service to schools, libraries and fire district without full
increase in property taxes;
taxes seem to go up for everyone else, why should some developers in the City Center have to
pay less?
maybe encouraging more residential at this time in the City Center's development is misguided;
shouldn't residential development follow stronger redevelopment in the office and retaiVservice
sectors?
need to make sure that the multifamily buildings be of substantial, attractive construction,

(
In addition, City Councilmembers also raised questions about the demand for services for schools,
libraries and the Fire District and expressed their desire for Staff to work with these jurisdictions to
address and/or incorporate their concerns, where possible.
Since last Fall, Staff has conduCted a great deal of research pursuant to the Councilmembers' requests
and the concerns expressed at last November's public hearing. A summary of Staffs findings is
presented below related to each of the three affected districts:
School District
In order best to estimate the potential demand for school services arising ITom new multifamily
buildings in the City Center, Staff made visits to two other redeveloping suburban city centers:
Bellevue and Renton. Each of these city centers contains new mixed-use and multifamily buildings of a
very similar character to those we would expect in Federal Way. A total of 11 buildings were directly
surveyed, with building managers queried as to the numbers of school-aged children residing in each
building. The results of this research indicated an average of 0.052 school-aged children per unit.
Next a comparison was made with the City-wide average student-generation factor (used in the 2001
Federal Way Schools Capital Facilities Plan) of 0.1783 students per unit. It clear, therefore, that the
newer, more urban, "city center"-type multifamily and mixed-use developments generate substantially
fewer students than the existing, neighborhood buildings.
Secondly an estimate was made of the potential tax revenue generated by a city center mixed-use
buildings (multifamily development in the City Center would most likely take the form of mixed-use
buildings, given zoning code standards), under the limited tax exemption scenario. The following table
summarizes those estimates:
(

As one can see in this hypothetical case, a total of$IOl,947 ($34,064 for School District) per year of
potential tax revenue would be exempted for ten years, while a total of $20,287 ($6779 for School
District) per year would be generated by the increased land value and commercial improvement value.

This should be compared with the tax revenue balance sheet for a sample multifamily building in the

. Based on average of several existing multifamily buildings' assessed valuation in FW neighborhoods,
converted to per-unit value of$39,857. This figure is lower than the Sample City Center figure due to the
older age of existing MF buildings.
Based on average of several existing multifamily buildings' assessed land valuation in FW neighborhoods,
converted to per-unit value 0[$10,196.
..
As can be seen in these tables, it is clear that new City Center multifamily buildings would have both a
higher assessed improvement value and land value (plus they would likely include some commercial
space with an additional, taxable improvement valùe) than the existing multifamily developments in the
neighborhoods and would likely generate greater tax revenues even during the exemption period.
(
With the lower average number of students expected in City Center buildings, compared with the
average number of students seen City-wide in existing multifamily developments, together with the
above-cited tax revenue information, we can summarize the potential financial impact to the School
District of this tax exemption proposal:
Sample tOO-Unit Bldg School Tax Revenue No. of Students Tax Revenue per
Generated Generated Student
Neighborhood $20,822 18 $1156.78
City Center $6,779 5 $1355.80
What we see is that existing neighborhood multifamily developments, with higher numbers of students
and lower taxable assessed improvement and land values, generate less tax revenue per student than
new City Center multifamily/mixed-use buildings would likely generate. This is due to new City
Center buildings generating fewer students and having higher assessed land values, plus a commercial
component, even though the substantial residential improvement value would be exempt.
Fire District
As with the School District-related research, Staff researched the service demands associated with new
multifamily buildings in urbanized settings in other nearby communities. In this case, however, the
newer mixed-use and multifamily developments in other suburban city centers, such as Bellevue and
Renton, did not provide a fair source for analysis because these developments were too new, For this
reason, Staff identified approximately a dozen 5- to 10-year-old mixed-use/multifamily buildings in
Seattle and called the individual Fire Stations where the buildings are located. Due to the vagaries of
data collection among Stations, not all Fire Station personnel could access records by address.
However, between those personnel who could provide records by address and those who knew their
Memo to LUTC on Housing Tax Exemption
Page 4 of 4
Station areas well enough to provide reliable anecdotal information, an adequate generalization could be
drawn. In short, Fire ,Station personnel across Seattle could either verify or reliably opine that these
newer mixed-use/multifamily buildings, and others like them, do not present a demand for fire or
emergency services as high as do older multifamily buildings. They did note, however, that some new
buildings, at initial occupancy can have a flurry of false-alanns as fire detection systems are being
installed and wiring or testing mistakes occur.
(
It is difficult to explain this incidence of lower demand reliably, but it is likely due to two things: I)
new buildings have a certain "sheIfIife" during which the new construction and building systems may
be relied upon without significant failure; and 2) the socioeconomic characteristics of the majority of
the occupants of these newer buildings. Given that newer buildings usually command the highest rents,
occupants are usually professional singles or couples, as well as recent empty-nesters, with few if any
children (as seen in the research mentioned above regarding the numbers of school children). These
socioeconomic cohorts usually exhibit a lower percentage of smokers, usually rely less on space heaters,
and usually are less prone to fire-inducing accidents that might arise from the sight-impaired, the elderly
or children. In addition, medical-related emergencies are usually less among these populations for a
variety of reasons,
In summary, while there is no guarantee that new mixed-use/multifamily buildings in the City Center
would generate no demand for fire or emergency services during the first ttm years of occupancy, it is
likely that this demand will be markedly less during this period than later in the building's life.
Therefore, although during the initial ten years less tax revenue would accrue to the Fire District, this is
the period when a substantially lower demand for services is expected. Then, as the building passes its
ten-year mark, full tax revenue would accrue to the Fire District to cover any natural increase in
demands for its services.
(
Libraries
City Staff met with representatives of the King County Library System to discuss the proposal and learn
about their concerns. In the case of demand for library services, there was no empirical or anecdotal
information that would suggest that residents of City Center mixed-use/multifamily buildings would
create lower demand. The Library System representatives recognized this, but stated their impression
that this proposal is intended to increase the density and mix of development in the City Center, which
would eventually substantially raise the assessed value and therefore tax revenue.
Summary
In summary, Staff research concluded that direct service and financial impacts of this limited tax
exemption proposal to the School and Fire Districts should be minimal during the ten-year exemption
period, In fact, it is possible that financial impacts to the School District will be positive even during
the exemption period. Of course, after the ten year exemption, substantial new tax revenue would
accrue to these jurisdictions, as well as to the City.
This points up an important consequence of this proposal. While the immediate goal of the tax
exemption proposal is to spur new residential and mixed-use development in the City Center, in
fulfillment of numerous Comprehensive Plan goals and GMA mandates, an important secondary
consequence is a much needed increase in the assessed valuation of the City's commercial sector. For
the period 199 I -2000 the average King County residential assessed valuation rose an average of
172.4%, while the commercial sector only rose 79.7%. These figures are representative of Federal
Way, as well. It is obvious that further growth in the commercial assessed value would be very
Memo to LUTC on Housing Tax Exemption
Page 5 of 5
(
desirable and would help start to shift the bulk of the property tax burden ITom the residential sector to
the commercial sector.
Lastly on October 15,2002 the City Council voted to folWard this proposal back to LUTC for further
discussion prior to proceeding back to City Council for action. .
RECOMMENDA nON
Due to a mix-up with the City's official newspaper last year, the November 6, 2001 public hearing
did not receive the RCW-required published notice for two consecutive weeks. For this reason, the
City Council must hold a new public hearing on the intent to designate the "residential targeted
area," as well as the proposal in general prior to designating the "residential targeted area" and
taking any further action on tax exemption proposaL
For these reasons, Staff recommends that the LUTC recommend that the City Council pass a new
resolution of intent to designate the City Center Core and Frame zones as a "residential targeted
area" for purposes of potential application of the limited tax exemption for multifamily housing and
set a new public hearing at a subsequent City Council meeting. (Draft Resolution attached.)
Barring significant new testimony or evidence to 'the contrary, Staff recommends that LUTC
recommend a subsequent approval of the "residential targeted area" after the public hearing.
(
After such approval, the corresponding code provisions will be folWarded to LUTC for review and
recommendation to City CounciL

Tax Exemption Program for Multifamily Development
FROM:
VIA:
SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND
(
State Legislation
In 1995 the Washington State Legislature enacted RCW 84.14.005 that authorizes local
governments to allow a property tax exemption for ten years to those who rehabilitate,
convert, or build new housing units in designated urban centers to encourage the
development of additional multifamily housing. This program is designed to make
housing projects more appealing to investors by freeing up capital and reducing operating
costs. The original provisions were only applicable to cities of greater than 150,000
inhabitants or to the largest city in each county, irrespective of its population. In Spring
of 200 1 the Legislature amended the law to include municipalities of greater than 50,000
inhabitants, thanks in part to the lobbying efforts of the City of Federal Way and other
affected cities around the State.
The law allows other financing sources, such as the Washington State Housing Trust
Fund and the Washington State Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, to be used with this
program. All projects must meet the requirements of the land use and building pennit
processes, as well as any other specific requirements a municipality may wish to impose.
"Urban centers," as defined in the state enabling legislation are those areas meeting the
following provisions:
Multifamily Tax Exemption Ordinance
Page 2 of 4
(
". ..a compact identifiable district where urban residents may obtain a variety of
products and services, An urban center must contain: '
(c)
several existing or previous, or both, business establishments that may
include bufare not limited to shops, offices, banks, restaurants,
governmental agencies;
adequate public facilities including streets, sidewalks, lighting, transit,
domestic water, and sanitary sewer systems; and
a mixture of uses and activities that may include housing, recreation, and
cultural activities in association with either commercial or office, or both,
use.
(a)
(b)
Although the City of Federal Comprehensive Plan designates only the City Center Core
as an "urban center," the entirety of the larger City Center area, including the City Center
Frame, qualifies for an "urban center" designation, pursuant to this particular tax
exemption legislation. Therefore, this proposed ordinance defines the "urban center" as
both the City Center Core and Frame zones. In addition, if an area qualifies as an "urban
center" under these provisions, the qualifying municipalities may designate "residential
targeted" areas in said urban centers for the purposes of tax exemption for multifamily
housing.
Other Municipalities' Participation
(
Since 1995 several cities have availed themselves of this legislation, starting with the
City of Tacoma that pioneered the program. That city acted immediately after the
December 1995 State Legislature action and adopted its program in early 1996, including
designation of 14 residential targeted areas throughout the city. Since that time 28
projects have been approved for participation in the program, totaling approximately
1600 units in Tacoma's Downtown and neighborhoods.
The City of Seattle followed suit, with its ordinance approved in 1998 and the
designation of II residential targeted areas. Since that time 13 development projects
have been approved for participation in the program, for a total of284 dwelling units.
The City of Spokane enacted its program in Spring of this year, with one residential
targeted area encompassing the downtown and near-downtown areas to the north and
west. Only one project has yet participated.
Of the smaller cities, yet lärgest in their counties, the City of Bellingham enacted its
program in the downtown area in 1999 and has approved two projects for a total of 66
units and its City Council is considering a new project this month for 24 additional units.
The Cities of Olympia, Everett and Vancouver enacted their ordinance in 1998. Several
multifamily projects have been approved among those cities.
This year, with the Legislature's change to allow other cities of greater than 50,000
population to participate in this program, two additional mid-size municipalities have
Multifamily Tax Exemption Ordinance
Page 3 of 4
added such ordinances, including the cities of Renton and Kent in King County. The
Renton City Council just adopted its ordinance earlier this month and expects that two
new multifamily projects in the downtown area will take advantage of its provisions,
(
Examples of Tax Savings
Two projects approved in Seattle, but calculated at Federal Way property tax rates
($13.04 per $1000 improvement value; City portion = $1.41 per 1000), can be used as
examples of the tax savings that could be available to encourage multifamily
developments in the City Center.
Example #1
65-unit project, improvement value $6,800,000 =
$88,672 yearly tax savings
($9,588 City portion)
Example #2
76-unit project, improvement value $5,750,000 =
$74,980 yearly tax savings
($8107.50 City portion)
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS
(
In accordance with the State enabling statute (RCW 84.14.005), the proposed property
tax exemption program for multifamily housing is intended to stimulate new multifamily
construction, and community and economic development in Federal Way's City Center,
furthering the City Center Vision in the Compreheusive Plan and the State Growth
Management Act.
When a program is approved under this program, the value (as detennined by the King
County Assessor) of eligible multifamily housing improvements in exempted from
property taxes for ten years, starting January I st of the year following issuance by the City
of the final certificate of tax exemption. Land, existing improvements and nonresidential
improvements are not exempt. The tax exemption is transferable to new property
owners.
To be granted the exemption, a property owner must apply to the City of Federal Way
Department of Community Development Services. Generally, projects must be:
. Located in the City Center Core and City Center Frame zones; and
. A multifamily or mixed-use project with four (4) or more housing units;
Projects must comply with all zoning, land use and building codes and any other
regulations in effect at the time of construction.
(
Multifamily Tax Exemption Ordinance
Page 4 of 4
(
The property owner must enter in to a contractual agreement with the City regarding the
temis and conditions of project approval, including timing of construction and any other
pennitting requirements, Generally projects must be completed within three (3) years of
the exemption being granted, although provisions for extension of that time limit are
proposed. Additionally the owner must submit an annual report and certification of
compliance with the tenus of the contract and with other program requirements.
Property owners who fail to comply with the contractual obligations mentioned above
may have their tax exemption certificate revoked and would owe taxes, interest and
penalties, per State law.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests the Committee recommend to the City Council passage of the resolution of
intent to designate a "residential target area" and approval of the proposed tax exemption
ordinance and designation of the City Center Core and City Center Frame zone as a
"residential targeted area," as depicted on Exhibit L

Kenneth Jones Pool operating options
Via:
From:
Subject:
In May 2002 King County announced that it would enter into discussions with cities and school
districts regarding the King County Forward Thrust Pools. The purpose ofthe discussions were
to investigate the feasibility of new operating and/or funding arrangements to enable the pools to
remain open in 2003 and beyond. Early on in these discussions the Federal Way School District
stated that it was not interested in participating in any funding options for the Kenneth Jones
Pool. Based on recommendations trom an appointed citizen commission Metropolitan Parks
Task Force, King County Executive Ron Sims announced in July of2002 that the County would
offer cities a reasonable package to enable them to keep pools open. Cities were told that if they
did not take over the pools located within their corporate boundries, those pools would close
January I, 2003.
To prevent losing the availability of the Kenneth Jones Pool, the City Council in July directed
staff to investigate operating options. Staff has had a number of discussions with King County
and has also recently learned about the potential assumption of the pool by a third party non-
profit organization - the Northwest Center (NWC) - through conversations with NWC
representatives. This memorandum will summarize and compare these 3 options:
1.
King County continues to own and operate the Kenneth Jones Pool with a City subsidy. .
2.
Northwest Center assumes the title to the pool facility and its operations, with an annual City
subsidy.
3.
The City assumes the title to the pool facility and its operations, until a pennanent
community facility is built.
King County has requested direction trom the City by Dec. 4, 2002 in order to meet public notice
requirements for their Council meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDA nON:
After comparing the operation/control issue and financial considerations of the 3 options, staff
recommends that the City assume the title and operation of the Kenneth Jones Pool. This option
provides the City with the most control over the programming and operations of the facility. It
will also allow staff the opportunity to gain experience in pool operation. Additionally, King
County has agreed to transfer the Kenwood Pit property to the City if the City assumes the title
and operation of the pool. This and other financial incentives provided by the County make this
the best option financially for the city. In addition, King County has also agreed to continue
operating the pool for a period of six months to allow a smooth transition to the City in July of
2003.
