The West African Community Center is proposing to occupy an existing 11,465 square foot two-story building that was previously occupied by a window coverings company for retail operations, warehousing, manufacturing, and office space. The proposal includes minor internal tenant improvements for office uses, a retail sundries store, tutoring services, volunteer services, and community board meetings. No exterior construction or excavation is proposed. Access to the site is provided via an alley off S 4th St along the west boundary of the project site to an existing surface parking lot located to the rear of the existing building. King County requires that a capacity charge be applied to any project that constructs a new connection to the sewer system, any reconnection within five years of a disconnection, or any change in use or building remodel that includes an increase in plumbing fixtures. King County generally receives notice of new construction; however, some sewer districts and/or the cities that represent them have neglected to report changes in use and tenant improvements that involve an increase in plumbing fixtures. In an attempt to remedy this problem, we are sending this reminder to you in response to the project notice above. We ask that you forward this reminder to the sewer district or city department responsible for Sewer Use Certification forms: Please fill in the property address, owner’s name, billing and contact information on a Non-Residential Sewer Use Certification form. The form should be turned into the local sewer agency or city. When the permit is final, they will fill out the permit number, final date, and parcel number, then forward it to King County. For an estimate or questions about the capacity charge please contact Project Manager Caera Quan at 206-477-5516 or caera.quan@kingcounty.gov.
