retained.
Fire Code Comments:
1. The fire flow requirement for a single-family home is 1,000 gpm minimum for dwellings up to 3,600
square feet (including garage and basements). If the dwelling exceeds 3,600 square feet, a minimum
of 1,500 gpm fire flow would be required. A minimum of one fire hydrant is required within 300-feet
of the proposed buildings and two hydrants if the fire flow goes up to 1,500 gpm. Water is provided by
King County Water District 90. A water availability certificate is required from them. It appears at least
one new hydrant will be required.
2. Fire department apparatus access roadways are required to be a minimum of 20-feet wide fully paved,
with 25-feet inside and 45-feet outside turning radius. Fire access roadways shall be constructed to
support a 30-ton vehicle with 75-psi point loading. Access is required within 150-feet of all points on
the buildings. Dead end streets that exceed 150-feet in length require an approved turnaround. A
hammerhead type turnaround is allowed.

1. While there are no notable encumbrances against the property on the title report, they need to
include all Schedule B items on the final short plat.
2. The title report indicates that the property is owned by “The Heirs and Devisees of Binh Vuong,
deceased and Ha Tat Vuong, as her separate estate.” I am requesting that ownership of the property is
settled, and an updated title report shows ownership of the property vested in specific individuals.
3. The map shows fence encroachments on the north and east property boundaries. I am requesting that
the fence encroachments are resolved prior to submission for review of the final short plat.

Surface Water
1. A geotechnical report dated December 20, 2022, completed by Innovative Geo-Services, LLC, was
provided with the Land Use Application. Geotechnical recommendations presented in this report
support the use of infiltration at a rate of 4 in/hr.
2. A preliminary TIR dated July 5, 2024 was submitted by Tebaldi Engineering with the Land Use
Application. The site falls within the Flow Control Duration Standard Matching Forested Site
Conditions and falls within a flood problem flow control standard thus the report shall also meet the
requirements of the Flood Problem Flow Control Standard. The site falls within the Lower Cedar River
drainage basin. The report is based on a full drainage review and Core Requirements 1 through 9 and
the six Special Requirements have been discussed in the Technical Information Report.
a. Offsite Analysis, RSWDM Core Requirement #2: All proposed projects must submit an
offsite analysis report that assesses potential offsite drainage and water quality impacts
associated with development of the project site. The preliminary TIR submittal includes a
Level 1 Downstream Analysis.
b. Flow Control, RSWDM Core Requirement #3: Any proposed detention and/or water
quality vault shall be designed in accordance with the RSWDM that is current at the time
of civil construction permit application. The preliminary TIR claims an exemption from a
flow control facility requirement as the target surfaces generate less than 0.15 cfs
increase in the existing site conditions 100 years peak flow. Therefore, the project meets
the basic exemption from Core Requirement #3 in the 2022 RSWDM section 1.2.3.
i. Per the preliminary TIR, infiltration trenches will be utilized to fully infiltrate lot
run-off, thus, reduce the total run-off of the site to less than 0.15 CFS. Per the
Docusign Envelope ID: E902728E-F201-4BE5-890E-CDD551973362
geotechnical report, the underlying soil is silty, gravelly sand while full
infiltration is only feasible under coarse sand, cobbles, and medium sand soil
conditions. Additional infiltration calculation per section 5.2 of the 2022
RSWDM is required at the time of civil construction permit.
c. Conveyance, RSWDM Core Requirement #4: All new conveyance systems constructed as
part of the project must be sized to RSWDM standards for the total tributary area (onsite
and offsite) that the storm systems serve. The proposal indicates that an analysis will be
provided with final engineering.
i. A conveyance system and capacity analysis shall be provided with the TIR and
submit at time of civil construction permit application.
d. Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention, Core Requirement #5
ii. A CSWPP shall be provided with the TIR and submit at the time of civil
construction permit application.
e. Maintenance and Operations, Core Requirement #6
iii. A maintenance and operation manual shall be provided with the TIR and submit
at the time of civil construction permit application.
f. Water Quality, RSWDM Core Requirement #8: All projects that add more than 5,000
square feet of pollution generating impervious surface (PGIS) that is not fully dispersed
and less than 0.75 acre of pollution generating pervious surface that is not fully dispersed
require water quality. The TIR indicates that all PGIS surfaces will be treated with a
Contech Storm filter.
i. A water quality analysis and system sizing shall be provided in the TIR and
submit at time of civil construction permit application.
g. Onsite BMPs, RSWDM Core Requirement #9: Appropriate on-site BMPs will be required
to help mitigate the new runoff created by this development. The proposal indicates that
BMP feasibilities will be evaluated with final engineering.
i. A discussion of the feasibility of BMPs in section 1.2.9.2.1 Small Lot BMP
requirements shall be provided at the time of civil construction permit
application.
3. Erosion control measures to meet the City requirements shall be provided.
i. Erosion control plans shall be submit at the time of civil construction permit
application.
4. The development falls within the R-4 zone which has a maximum impervious surface area of 50% per
lot, and maximum building coverage of 35% per lot.
5. The development is subject to a surface water system development charge (SDC) fees. Fees will be
charged based on the rate at the time of construction permit issuance.
• The current SDC fee for a single family residence is $2,350 per lot.
