The link below may be used to obtain information to apply for this permit: Construction Stormwater General Permit • The following comments are associated with the March 29, 2022 preliminary stormwater report. The applicant is not required to respond to these comments at this time and Engineering is satisfied that appropriate documentation has been provided to allow the project to move forward to the public hearing. However, these comments must be thoroughly addressed at time of civil permit application: - The applicant has proposed a stormwater detention facility to serve the project which is a conservative assumption in terms of the viability of the overall project. However, the City still has reservations that the feasibility/infeasibility criteria for implementing Minimum Requirement 5 (MR5) BMPs has been adequately addressed. - Specifically, the geotechnical report dated February 10, 2022 indicates that the site consists of both recessional outwash and recessional glaciolacustrine soils with the majority of the site consisting of the outwash soils, yet only one small-scale PIT test was conducted in an area of the site where 97% of the soil particles pass the #200 sieve. Additional infiltration testing or additional clarification is needed to justify a determination of BMP infeasibility for the central and eastern portions of the project site. - There may be other BMP infeasibility criteria available to the applicant outlined in the Ecology Manual. For example, downstream impacts associated with lateral flow or potential erosion hazards due to infiltrated stormwater, but the current application materials do not appear sufficient to support a definitive project-wide infeasibility determination for the BMPs listed in Minimum Requirement 5. - For offsite basin inflow and onsite unconverted vegetation areas: document compliance with 2019 Ecology Manual, Vol III, Sec III-2.4 (2014 Manual, Vol. III, Appendix III-B, Section 6).

TRAFFIC ENGINEERING CIVIL DESIGN CONDITIONS: During civil review provide sight distance analysis required at proposed 27th Ave SE driveway –City standards require 300ft of ESD, 250 of SSD (0.5ft object height). –Setback 14.5ft from face of curb to evaluate sight lines. -Identify street tree placement, monument signage, fences, etc. that could obstruct sight distance. -Coordinate with Rachael Brown to specify tree species that will not impact sight distance. During civil review, use 30ft wide commercial drop approach instead of radius design. During civil review, the (2) gated EV access driveways shall be a drop approach design and must be 26ft in width. During civil review provide details on how a garbage truck will access collection area based on AutoTurn analysis. Must coordinate with service provider on preferred location and design. During civil review the curb alignment on the western frontage needs to be modified to meet City geometric standards. It is acceptable to remove the planter strip within this transition area as needed. See site plan redline to show necessary alignment. Provide channelization design that matches the updated geometry/curvature. See site plan markups for estimated alignment. Current proposal will require additional re-alignment. Civil plans to show channelization (TWLTL) without reverse curvature. This will require the curve section to be more gradual and set farther from the roadway. Half-street improvements shall consist of curb, gutter, 34ft roadway, 8ft sidewalks, 7.5ft planter strip (0.5 curb), and streetlights. During civil review move PSD bus stop pad to west side of the driveway (behind sidewalk). There's an accessible route on both sides of the driveway. Sizing per PSD requirements (300 sq ft minimum). Provide analysis that shows existing lighting across the street will be adequate. Photometric analysis needs to meet the RP-8 requirements 27th Ave SE streetlight required on the eastern edge of frontage. To prevent confusion for motorists traveling WB on 27th Ave SE, the gate should be fully reflectorized with vertical stripes alternately red and white at 16-inch intervals measured horizontally. This guidance comes directly from the MUTCD (Section 2B.68). Based on the latest site plan, this treatment may not be necessary because the eastern driveway has been moved and no longer in alignment with 27th Ave SE. Will evaluate further during Civil review ADA ramp must be removed on the northeast side of 27th Ave SE.

Traffic Division

TRAFFIC ENGINEERING GENERAL CONDITIONS: Traffic Impact fees (TIF) will be assessed in accordance with fees adopted by ordinance, per PMC 21.10. Impact fees are subject to change and are adopted by ordinance. The applicant shall pay the proportionate impact fees adopted at the time of building permit application Park impact fees shall be charged per new dwelling unit based on its size. Fees are assessed in accordance with fees adopted by ordinance, per PMC 21.10 School impact fees shall be paid directly to the school district in accordance with adopted fee at the time of collection by the district. For multifamily developments, impact fees are charged for all dwelling units (not separated) prior to 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.

Building Division

Building permits require submittals to include building, mechanical, and plumbing plans in a single application. Complete applications must be submitted in compliance with the Washington State Building Code as amended by the City of Puyallup.

Planning Division

Tree #668 shall be retained. Final landscape plan shall demonstrate that landscape area surrounding tree is adequate to fully encompass the critical root protection zone (CRPZ) of tree to ensure survival post construction. Tree shall be protected during site clearing in accordance with VMS and all City standards.

Planning Division

Existing trees to be retained must be clearly marked on the final clearing and grading plan, and final landscape plan. Tree protection fencing and signage shall follow the city standard detail, see appendix 20.5. Standard detail shall be included on all plan sets with vegetation which is scheduled for retention and protection. All critical root protection zones (CRPZ) shall be shown on plan sets in diameter from the center of the tree. In determining tree CRPZ, the following standards shall be used.In establishing the extent of the Critical Root Protection Zone (CRPZ) for individual significant trees, groupings of significant trees, a stand of significant trees, or a heritage tree the following formula shall be used: Individual tree diameter (in inches) X 2, converted into feet = CRPZ, in diameter (Example: 20” tree X 2 = 40’ CRPZ diameter). The following minimum performance standards shall be used to determine the extent of allowable impacts to the CRPZ of significant trees: For significant trees, a minimum of 50 percent of the critical root zone must be preserved at natural grade, with natural ground cover. The protection zone may be irregular. The plan set shall provide a total square footage of CRPZ area and show the % of disturbance area. For heritage trees, a minimum of 75 percent of the critical root zone must be preserved at natural grade with natural ground cover. The protection zone may be irregular. The plan set shall provide a total square footage of CRPZ area and show the % of disturbance area. No cut or fill greater than four (4) inches in depth may be located closer to the tree trunk than ½ the CRPZ radius distance. (Example, 20-inch DBH tree has a 40’ CRPZ area (in diameter) - meaning no cut or fill greater than 4” in depth is allowed within 20’ of the tree trunk). No cut or fill within the distance from the tree which is three (3) times the trunk DBH is allowed. (Example, 20-inch DBH tree X 3 = 60”, meaning no cut is allowed within 60-inches of a tree which has a 20-inch diameter trunk). These criteria represent minimum standards for determining whether or not a tree may be required to be retained. Greater impacts may be allowed, provided that all design alternatives have been proven unfeasible and that a pre-conditioning and after care mitigation program is established. See section 10.1 of the VMS, and referenced appendices for more information.

Planning Division
