Other/Miscellaneous

CIVIL PERMIT APPLICATION • Civil engineering drawings will be required for this project prior to issuance of the first building permit (The city has transitioned to electronic review. Please reach out to the city permit technicians at PermitCenter@PuyallupWA.gov and they will guide you how to submit). Included within the civil design package will be a utility plan overlaid with the landscape architects landscaping design to ensure that potential conflicts between the two designs have been addressed. Engineering plans cannot be accepted until Planning Department requirements have been satisfied, including but not limited to, SEPA, Preliminary Site Plan approval, CUP, and/or Hearing Examiner conditions. • Civil engineering plan review fee is $670.00 (plus an additional per hour rate of $130.00 in excess of 5 hours). The Civil permit shall be $300.00 and the inspection fee shall be 3% of the total cost of the project as calculated on the Engineering Division Cost Estimate form. [City of Puyallup Resolution No. 2098] • Civil Engineering drawings shall conform to the following City standards Sections 1.0 and 2.0: o Engineering plans submitted for review and approval shall be on 24 x 36-inch sheets. o Benchmark and monumentation to City of Puyallup datum (NAVD 88) will be required as a part of this project / plat. o The scale for design plans shall be indicated directly below the north arrow and shall be only 1”=20’ or 1”=30’. The north arrow shall point up or to the right pon the plans. o Engineering plan sheets shall be numbered sequentially in this manner: Sheet 1 of 20, Sheet 2 of 20, etc. ending in Sheet 20 of 20. o All applicable City Standard Notes and Standard Details shall be included on the construction plans for this project. A copy of the City Standards can be found on the City’s web site under Office of the City Engineer, Engineering Services. Frontage Code: New Commercial/Industrial Buildings or Expansion of Existing buildings: • Any person or entity who constructs or causes to be constructed any new commercial/industrial building or expansion of an existing commercial/industrial building either of which have a structure improvement value exceeding $200,000 in valuation shall construct curb, gutters, planter strips, street trees, sidewalks, storm drainage, street lighting, and one-half street paving (only required if the existing pavement condition is poor) in accordance with the city’s Public Works Engineering and Construction Standards and Specifications. The frontage improvements shall be required along all street frontage adjoining the property upon which such building will be placed. Frontage improvements shall also be required where any reasonable access to the property connects to the public right-of-way, although the primary access is located on another parcel. There is no cap on frontage improvements for new buildings or expansion of existing buildings. Fee in Lieu -> Frontage Improvements a. The applicant may request and submit justification to pay a fee rather than constructing all or part of the required frontage improvements. Allowance of fee-in-lieu shall be at the discretion of the city and may be denied if the city engineer determines it will be more beneficial to the public to have the frontage improvements built along the street frontage adjoining the property or access to the property. The city will consider the following: o (i) The feasibility of accurately constructing improvements both horizontally and vertically to effectively drain runoff; o (ii) Whether constructed improvements can transition and connect smoothly with existing adjacent sites; and o (iii) Whether other frontage improvements will likely connect into the applicant’s required improvements within a reasonable time frame. b. The justification to allow use of the fee-in-lieu program shall not be based on cost savings to applicant in comparison with constructing required improvement adjacent to the property. The program will be administered with the following conditions: a. (i) Fees collected will be used towards pedestrian safety improvements, which could include lighting in the vicinity, ideally within one-half mile but up to one mile, from the contributing parcel in order to ensure that the improvements maintain a sufficient nexus to the project. b. (ii) Fees for residential infill lots and commercial tenant improvements shall be based on linear frontage of developing parcel. The fees will be posted on the city’s web page, “Fee-In-Lieu Program” and are initially set at $200.00 per linear foot of frontage where no concrete curb exists and $100.00 per linear foot with existing curb. The fees will be adjusted annually according to construction cost indices. The current prices for 2022 are $211.80 per linear foot where no concrete curb exists. $105.90 per linear foot where existing curb exists at city standard location. If use of the fee-in-lieu program is for only a portion of the required frontage improvements, the fee will be established at an adjusted rate by the city engineer. If used for required frontage improvements from land subdivisions (formal plats, short plats, or binding site plans) and new commercial/industrial developments the fee will be developed based on the costs of installing the required improvements along the frontage of the development. c. (iii) The fees shall be capped at 15 percent of remodel or project valuation. d. (iv) Dedication of necessary right-of-way shall not be deferred or satisfied through payment of a fee-in-lieu. e. (v) The city shall track the collection of fees and the location of improvements funded by fees collected.

Traffic scoping worksheet will be required for this project. The City policy requires the project trips to be estimated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation, 11th Edition. In general, trip generation regression equations shall be used when the R2 value is 0.70 or greater. For single-family units and offices smaller than 30,000 SF, use ITE’s Trip Generation, average rate. The project trips shall be rounded to the nearest tenth. Trip credits would be allowed for any existing development. Once the traffic scoping worksheet is reviewed, a written response would be sent to the applicant’s traffic engineer outlining the scope of the project’s Traffic Impact Study (TIS). The city has adopted a City-Wide Traffic Impact Fee of $4,500 per PM peak hour trip. Final fees will be calculated and assessed by the City at the time of building permit issuance. Per Puyallup Municipal Code Section 11.08.135, the applicant/owner would be expected to construct half-street improvements including curb, gutter, planter strip, sidewalk, roadway base, pavement, and street lighting. Any existing improvements which are damaged now or during construction, or which do not meet current City Standards, shall be replaced. Based on the materials submitted, 17th Ave SE along the site shall consist of 34-foot street with curb and gutter, 8-foot sidewalk, wheelchair ramps (where applicable), and streetlights in a 60-foot right-of-way (ROW). The improvements shall be measured from street centerline. City standard streetlight can likely connect with existing junction box on the SE corner of S Meridian/17th Ave SE. At the time of civil permit review provide a separate street lighting sheet for the city to review. Remove existing curb cut along S Meridian Driveway spacing must be at least 35 feet from the closest edge of each driveway. (same as development directly east of project) Given the proximity to S Meridian, only a single commercial driveway (30ft) wide will be allowed on 17th Ave SE. See Fire comments regarding 75 foot Fire/Emergency on-street refuge area along 17th Ave SE frontage. This area will be placed between S Meridian and driveway. Align driveway with the clinic across the street (their eastern driveway) During preliminary site plan review, an entering sight distance analysis will be required at the intersection of 17th Ave SE and S Meridian. Analysis (horz + vertical) must confirm design will not have any sight obstruction.
