This Is a request for preliminary approval of, a
subdivision of 3.28 acr.. into 15 lots for detached
single-family dwellings at a aite in .outh~..t Xing County
.bout 300 feet eut of the Tacom. City line. proposed lot
slz.. range from 6,000 to 20,500 square feet. The
Planning Division reports that the propo..d plat Is
consistent with the Federal Way Community Plan, which
designat.. the family slngle-famiJy four to nine dwelJ!ng
units per acre. Area zoni~9 Is SR. Sewer and "ater'
service "ould be provided 'by, the Federal Way Water and
Sewer District. The, Subdivision Technical Committee
report. that there are no kno~n physical Constraints on
the site and recommend. preJ!minary approval. The
applicant's representative. have expresse.d their,
satisfaction "ith the report and recommended conditions of
BuiJding and Land Development Division.
3.
The o~ners of a parcel adjacent to the east have expre..ed
their desire that Ieth Avenue South~ut. ~hleh ~ill end In
a cul-de-..e. be extended throu9h to South~est 356th
Street in order to provide an aeee.. for future
development on their property from the arterial. The
Subdivision Technical Committee reports that this portion
of Southwest 356th Street is Currently scheduled for
Improvements by the County which ~ould make it a five-lane
arterial. The Department of Public Works has, therefore,
determined that additional intersections onto the Hreet '
should be avoided, and recommended againSt extending the
proposed 18th Avenue South~eSt to the northerly boundary'
of the plat for that reason. This applicant has no
objection to the cuI-de-sac which is no~ recommended by
the Subdivision Technical Committee. The neighboring
property o~ners had an agreement ~ith this applicant to
allo~ an easement for utility lines on their property if
18th Avenue South~est were extended to South~est )56th
Street. There Is, ho~ever, no physical Constraint ~hieh
~ou d prohibit the Joying of the utl fty lines entirely
~ithln the subject property.
Except as noted above, the facts, analysis and
recommendation presented In the Division of euildlng an'd

Councl 1.
CONCLUS10H:
J.
It Is my conclusion that while there Is no compenlng
resson to, aUo" 18th Avenue Southwest to be extended to
SOuthwest J56th Stroot, that before final approval the
Building and Land Devalopment Division and the Dapartmant
of PUblic Works should evalUata the need for north/sOuth
Streots In this vicinity In light of potential devolopmont
hotweon tho subject property and lHh Avonue Southwest.
If 18th Avonuo SouthweSt Is not Onondod, thero wi]l bo no
Streots bot ween 20th Avonuo Southwest and 15th Avenuo
SOUthweSt ontering SOuthwest J56th Stroot. While it Is
d..lrablo to avoid frequent InterHctlons on arterial
streots, it would ba wall adViSed to look at this prOblem
In light of tho potentlsl long-rango dovelopment of tho
area botw..n 18th Avenuo Southwest and 15th Avenuo
SOuth"e... If tho Building and Land Davolopment Division
and the Dopartmont of Public Works determine that 18th
Avenuo Southwest I. the moSt do'irablo loCation to Utond
tho Str..ts through Southwest J56th Str..t, that may ba
approved before final approvaJ. If on tho other hand, tho
10COtIon on tho Washburn property itsolt !s tho most
"orkablo point of ontry, construction of that IntersoCtion
can bo saved for later dovolopmant. Howover, no such
InterSOctlon is required by tho conditions bolow. It is
ot tho discretion of tho ongln..rs who must ..aluato the
capacity and safety of the road"ays In question. I note
that having no accoss onto Southw..t J56th Streot would
not ordinarily bo considerod a hardship for tho O"ners of
tho Washburn proporty. Through traffic is USually
'boll..od by d"OloPHS and prOPHty ownHs to be an
und..lrablo phono..onon In single-family nolghborhoods.
CuI-do-sacs are Usually consldHOd an amonlty which
incress.. the marketability of a subdivision.
RrCOMMrHDATIOH:
'CRAHT prOllmlnary approval to tho plat of Hampstoad Croon II,
as rovlsod and recoivod by tho Building and Land Developmont
Division October 20, 1989, subject to the conditions sot forth
at pagos sl. through nlna of tho report of tho Building and
