grease interceptor shall be sized based on drainage fixture units in accordance with standards
found in the latest edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC). The grease interceptor shall
drain by gravity to the sewer main. The grease interceptor shall be located on site so that is
accessible for routine maintenance.
4. The site is subject to a system development charge (SDC) for sewer service. The SDC for sewer
service is based on the size of the domestic water service. Current (2016) SDC fees for sewer
service are as follows:

foot of property. Based on the lot size of 107,593 square feet, the SAD fee would be $5,379.65.
STORM DRAINAGE COMMENTS
1. The site currently is covered by grassy areas with a few shrubs and trees. The site slopes
moderately from the south to the north and west. There is no on-site stormwater conveyance
system. Stormwater from the site either infiltrates or gradually flows off-site.
There is also no stormwater conveyance system along either the NE Sunset Boulevard or Nile
Avenue NE frontage. Stormwater that collects from these frontages gradually flows into the
site.
2. Refer to Figure 1.1.2.A – Flow Chart to determine what type of drainage review is required for
this site. The site falls within the City’s Flow Control Duration Standard (Forested Conditions).
The site falls within the May Creek drainage basin. Drainage plans and a drainage report
