Final Landscape Plan - Landscape Types
Comments:
Comment carried forward 08/26/25 - Evergreen shrubs are to be a minimum of 5 gallons. Please update planting plan.
Type IIb landscaping is required along the southern, front property line along Inter Ave. The proposed plantings do not meet the requirement for 50% evergreen trees. Please also required include on-center spacing standards on site plan outlined below:
The type IIb landscaping treatment shall be used in ML, MP and MR zone districts, or where industrial uses, conditional uses or uses utilizing outdoor storage of materials are proposed. The type IIb treatment will provide more substantial screening when compared with type IIa. One row of medium to large trees, with at least 50 percent being evergreen, and a continuous installation of evergreen shrubs planted at 5’ minimum on-center intervals. Trees shall generally be planted at intervals of no greater than 30 feet. Spacing may adjusted to better suit the selected species and installation size while still achieving the intended result of a canopy over the visual separator. Bio-swales or rain gardens may be placed within these landscaping areas as long as they are designed to meet the intent of this section.
In addition to uniform spacing, when it will better satisfy the intent of this chapter and/or the Comprehensive Plan, trees may be grouped, spaced irregularly or clustered provided that the tree masses are balanced with shrub groupings. The evergreen shrubs shall be at least five-gallon nursery stock at the time of planting and have the capability to achieve a height of six feet or more above the planting grade within three years. Evergreen shrubs may be intermixed with deciduous to provide visual interest and variety. Appropriate shrub masses and living ground cover shall provide 75 percent ground area coverage up to a height of five (5’) feet within three years. An appropriate fence or wall that provides at least 75 percent uniform sight obscuring from the ground to six foot may be substituted for the continuous evergreen plantings, where determined to be appropriate. No turf grass shall be included within a Type IIb buffer area.

Comment carried forward 08/26/2025 - Please calculate the parking areas separately as outlined below. Since Red Dot will only be utilizing the northern portion of the site and EJ Poultry utilizing the southern portion of the site, the landscaping requirements will be different for the different uses on the site. Also differentiate where the middle landscaping island is being counted towards the required landscaping for EJ Poultry or Red Dot.
EJ Poultry parking area
- We would calculate 5% of all paved areas for the EJ Poultry portion of the site to be taken from the square footage of their parking area per PMC 20.58.005 (1)
- Though parking lot landscape islands are not proposed in areas for truck parking areas that are not being striped, there is a requirement that all paved areas over 10,000SF shall have at least 5% of all paved surfaces to be landscaped. Perimeter landscaping shall not be calculated as part of the require amount of internal parking lot landscaping. You can propose consolidating parking lot landscaping areas to meet this 5% landscaped area requirement.
Red Dot parking area
- Since Red Dot is more than likely exceeding the minimum required parking stalls for their use per PMC 20.55.010, we require 10% of all paved areas to be landscaped, which cannot include required perimeter landscaping.
- We would calculate 10% of all paved areas for the Red Dot portion of the site to be taken from the square footage of their parking area and access per PMC 20.58.005 (1)(a)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Landscaping islands apply to all striped parking and storage areas, including heavy truck trailer parking. For large, paved areas which trigger parking lot landscaping under PMC 20.58.005, but may not contain vehicle striping for vehicle parking, staff will use reasonable discretion and flexibility in site designing to allow larger consolidated/ grouped islands to spread out evenly through the paved areas, ensuring landscaping meets the intent of the type IV design standards and meets the minimum landscape requirements in PMC 20.58.005.
- Please include the calculation showing that each required percentage of all paved surfaces are landscaped for both the Red Dot parking area and the EJ Poultry parking area (this cannot include perimeter landscaping).
Per PMC 20.58.005 (1) All paved areas of over 10,000 square feet shall have at least five percent of all paved areas landscaped to provide shade to reduce the heat island effect related to paved surfaces, reduce storm water runoff, improve air quality, provide visual breaks to large paved areas and improve general appearance. Perimeter landscaping shall not be calculated as part of the required amount of internal parking lot landscaping. Internal parking lot landscaping design and spacing shall conform to the “Type IV” landscaping standards contained in the city’s vegetation management standards (VMS) manual.
In order to further mitigate the impacts of more substantial expanses of paved areas on development sites, the following shall apply:
(a) In the event that a project provides 20 percent more than the required minimum number of parking stalls (per PMC 20.55.010) for a specific use or group of uses on a development complex site, or in the event that the total sum of paved areas on a site exceeds 100,000 square feet, at least 10 percent of all paved areas shall be landscaped in accordance with this section and the vegetation management standards (VMS) manual.

Correction 11:

Comments:
No more than eight (8) parking spaces shall be placed consecutively without a landscaping island.
Type IV Design Standards (VMS)
(1) All perimeter landscape islands shall be a minimum of 12’ wide with a minimum depth of each landscape island to match the abutting stall depth. Each perimeter island shall include a minimum of one (1) tree selected from the Class III or Class IV Street tree list shown in section 12.9 or 12.10.
(2) All internal landscape islands shall be a minimum of 15’ in width with a minimum depth of each landscape island to match the abutting stall depth. Each internal island shall include a minimum of two (2) trees selected from the Class III or Class IV street tree list shown in section 12.9 or 12.10.; fifty percent (50%) of trees in internal islands shall be Class III or Class IV evergreen conifers.

The City of Puyallup is going to reconstruct select areas of Inter Ave that are not currently proposed to be replaced by private development, as there are several developments along Inter Ave looking to go to construction in the immediate future. This work is tentative for late summer.
This will avoid “patchwork” paving and provide a complete road project that will serve all of the businesses and residents in the affected area. This work will happen in conjunction with your project, although the schedules do not have to line up. This should not affect the scope of your project, but there will probably need to be some coordination depending on which party initiates construction first. Our operations staff can meet on site with contractors and owners and our development reviewers can also meet with your project engineers to discuss.

There is another redevelopment project that is close to civil approval (parcel#s 2105200191 and 2105200180), which is in between this project and the tesco cabinent who are also installing street lights and conduits. May be prudent to collaborate and not double efforts. City can facilitate a meeting or provide proposed designs.

GEOTECH REPORT
An addendum titled Additional Geotechnical Recommendations was submitted under the Geotech Report submittal requirement. Provide original Geotech Report dated June 25, 2017 as well, or the most current report for this property. May require an additional addendum to address design elements (pervious surfaces, infiltration rates) within the original report that are no longer feasable or desired to be installed considering the amount of time that has passed.

INFILTRATION and GROUNDWATER ELEVATION
Infiltration rate is reported as .35 in/hr and says GW is “very high” Consult the 2019 SWMMWW for reporting on infiltration infeasibility/feasibility. Refer to GW monitoring data in relation to the surface elevations instead of saying the GW is “very high”. Reconcile the functioning swale that is proposed to be used with the GW being too high to incorporate infiltration BMPs into the new design. Presumably the swale is functioning, or the project would not be allowed to discharge to it.

SWALE AND PRIVATE CATCH BASIN
Swale must be evaluated by city staff to determine if upgrades are required to ensure its full capacity is available. Receiving CB is a new private CB on IDIL PUYALLUP LLC property. The project shall perform a downstream analysis of their system to illustrate capacity for the additional runoff. Need written permission from the owner of neighboring property to discharge to private CB, maybe even a notarized agreement. Verify that the swale can convey the flows. Need to illustrate how water is conveyed into the CB from the swale. Why is this water being directed to a private storm system? Generally private systems are not designed with much additional capacity.

GEOTECH AND PERVIOUS PAVEMENTS
Additional Geotechnical Recommendations letter under Groundwater Elevations Section claims that permeable concrete will be utilized to manage surface water from parking areas and that runoff from roofs and heavy duty pavement sections (indicate on plans where heavy duty pavement is to be installed) will be routed to detention. Clarify these writings and if they are incorrect and the report cannot be redone then strike out the portions that are incorrect or a new addendum to the Geotech report may be required. The point here is to present the ground water monitoring findings and either eliminate pervious design through the feasibility criteria in the SW Manual or to show that permeable is feasible and will be installed. This letter seems to say that permeable pavements are being installed, even though the plans do not show this and the industrial nature of the project would preclude its use. Include in the clarification reasons why the project is not utilizing pervious pavements (soils are not conducive, truck traffic will be too heavy, etc.) if the GW data suggests that it is feasable.

COST ESTIMATE - ENGINEERING BREAKDOWN
This estimate is used to determine Inspection Fees and Performance Bond amounts.
Find most recent version of the spreadsheet here:
https://www.cityofpuyallup.org/1591/Master-Document-List
Include off site totals and all 5 pages in printout. Exclude ON SITE PAVING (ROADWAY EXCAVATION AND HAUL, GRAVEL BASE, TOP COURSE, CLASS B ASPHALT), and include OFF-SITE PAVING (City will inspet the right of way paving but not the on site). Include inspectable and high ticket items that are not pre-populated under MISCELLANEOUS for each section. Include a reasonable unit price.
Specific corrections:
a. Include extruded curb.
b. Remove paving totals for ON SITE work. City inspector will not correct private paving.
c. STORM - There are 2 type 1 catch basins, and 2 storm manholes proposed on the plans. Estimate should match. Specify size of manholes.
d. Include Contech Water Quality System and ADS Detention Chamber system in estimate.
e. BIOSWALE/DETENTION POND – is this included in est because it will be rebuilt? The reported condition of the swale is poor and improvements and downstream capacity analysis will be required.
f. Show on civil plans the water work that is being done for irrigation at least up to the meter. Locate new meter and pipes to assess conflicts and location.
g. Is a fire hydrant required or being proposed? Fire Hydrant assembly is listed in estimate, yet the plans show no design for a hydrant.
h. Estimate lists 8 inch gate valve under water. Clarify.
i. Estimate lists 114 feet of 12 inch DIP under water. Clarify.
j. The only things that should be in the water section is the meter for the irrigation and the backflow preventer. After that Engineering does not inspect the irrigation, and the plans do not show the other water items listed.
k. 6 terminal clean outs and 323 feet of 8 inch sanitary PVC are proposed in the sewer section. Review indicates no sewer work is being proposed.
l. Include PRIVATE UTILITY TRENCHING under MISCELLANEOUS

In general, provide more detail about the control structure and storm manhole. Orifice and riser information should be readily available on the plans. Show clearly the relationship between the numbers in the model and the size of the filtration and detention facilities, orifice sizing, number of chambers and riser height. Provide a blow-up detail of how the control structure will work with the elevated bypass manifold. Include all details of installation not covered by Standard Details.

The City of Puyallup is going to reconstruct select areas of Inter Ave that are not currently proposed to be replaced by private development, as there are several developments along Inter Ave looking to go to construction in the immediate future. This work is tentative for late summer.
This will avoid “patchwork” paving and provide a complete road project that will serve all of the businesses and residents in the affected area. This work will happen in conjunction with your project, although the schedules do not have to line up. This should not affect the scope of your project, but there will probably need to be some coordination depending on which party initiates construction first. Our operations staff can meet on site with contractors and owners and our development reviewers can also meet with your project engineers to discuss.
