Storm Report Page 5/152, Proposed Conditions section - Include sidewalk and all other frontage components in impervious surface totals and correct errors in calculations (10,056 or 1,056?). Clarify all on site and off site totals and discuss the plan to mitigate each one separately or through bypass.

See Document Markup

Correct typo as indicated. [Storm Report, Page 3/152].

5 Small Scale Test Pits were conducted yet only 2 of them are analyzed for infiltration. The variability of infiltration potential between the two PIT tests that were reported indicates that more PIT tests should be included in the analysis in order to find a more representative infiltration rate. Why weren’t the infiltration rates form the other PITS included? We don’t observe any difference between the 5 test pit data sheets.

Other/Miscellaneous

An infiltration rate of 0.3 inches an hour coupled with a 5 to 5.5 feet BGS suggests that at least some infiltration is possible with permeable pavements or bioretention for other hard surfaces and perforated stub out connections for roofs (List #2) . Bioretention would most likely take up too much space for this particular development, but these numbers do not preclude exploring permeable pavement as a requirement, especially if further analysis provides a larger infiltration rate (see previous note).

1. Provide the following locations: F.D.C, P.I.V., Fire Hydrant, and Riser Rooms. 2. No parking signs will be required on both sides of the street with painted curb.

Ensure proposed lighting is meeting the following: PMC 20.25.040 (19) Outdoor Lighting. Building-mounted lighting shall be directed away from other residential structures and/or windows as to not create direct illumination, shall be shielded as to avoid glare from exposed bulbs off site and shall use necessary means to avoid excessive light throw. Light illumination shall not be cast beyond the premises and shall be limited to illumination of surfaces intended for pedestrians or vehicles. Light fixtures shall include all necessary refractors within the housing to direct lighting to areas intended to be illuminated. The director shall retain the right to require a photometric plan to ensure compliance with these standards.

PMC 20.25.040 (2)(a) requires that at least 10% of the net lot area be devoted to amenity area for active use by residents. This space should include amenities such as picnic areas, recreational areas, etc. As noted in an e-mail correspondence from 12/19/2023, common open space can include critical areas or their buffers but active open space cannot include critical areas or their buffers.

It is unclear how the proposal meets the multifamily design review standards found in PMC 20.26.200 (5)(b) (iii) & (iv) that were chosen to be the features that this project includes. Please elaborate on how (iii) & (iv) are met in your response letter and if they are not met, please include them on the updated plans as needed. Please cite which plans were updated if they are changed.

Traffic Scoping ITE Land Use Code 221 does not apply to the project as described. This use would be considered LUC 220, Multifamily Low-Rise. Project location does not meet criteria for "Close to rail transit" designation Recalculate trips and TIF based on LUC 220, not close to rail transit.

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.

Run conduit and J-box to East property line. - Frontage improvements will be required along Todd Rd. - As part of these improvements, additional right-of-way (ROW) dedication will be required. +- 10.5 ft dedication, determined on survey. - Offsite paved taper will be required east of frontage At the time of civil permit review provide a separate pavement striping plan (channelization) sheet for the city to review.

Review Comments: 1. A demolition permit is required to remove the existing single-family residence. The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency requires advanced notification on any structure with a roof area greater than 120 square feet. https://pscleanair.gov/185/Asbestos 2. Building plans will need to be complete with all building, mechanical, plumbing, energy code items and accessibility requirements that apply to project. Current codes are the 2021 Washington State codes with Puyallup amendments. In general, local amendments other than administrative processes are limited to Fire Code elements for Fire Alarm, Fire Flow, Fire Sprinklers and Fire Access. Please see the Puyallup Municipal Code chapter 16 and 17. 3. R3 occupancies may be constructed using the International Residential Code or the International Building Code. With sprinklers, a one-hour fire rated common wall is required to separate each dwelling. Without sprinklers, a two-hour fire rated common wall (or two 1-hour rated walls) is required to separate each dwelling. The common wall shared by two townhouse units shall be constructed without plumbing or mechanical equipment, ducts, or vents in the cavity of the common wall and must be continuous from the foundation to the underside of the roof sheathing. Clearly define all fire rated assemblies on the plans with supporting U.L. assembly details. 4. Townhouses and Group R-2, R-3 and R-4 buildings three stories or less in height above grade plane, as well as accessory structures thereto, are within the scope of the Washington State Energy Code – Residential Provisions (WSEC-R section R101.2). 5. Vehicle charging stations will be required with new parking under the 2021 Washington Building Codes (WAC 51-50-0429). Per the WAC 51-50-0429 for R2 occupancies; 10% of total parking spaces shall have EV charging stations, 25 of total parking spaces shall be EV ready, and 10% of total parking spaces shall be EV capable. Note: the current site plan only shows EV Ready and EV Capable spaces. 6. Confirm with the site’s waste management company that the space in front of the Trash Staging Area is sufficient for waste management vehicles. -- Building General Notes: a. All electrical is permitted by the Washington State Department L & I. b. Truss Plans for TJI or BCI’s and Truss Specifications may be deferred at submittal. Plan review will establish if submittals are 1) required for review 2) required as a deferred submittal or 3) provided in the field for review by the inspector. For deferred submittals: Truss specifications shall be reviewed by the engineer of record. c. For all accessible requirements, the City adopted the 2021 IBC / WAC 51-50 and the ICC A117.1-2017 standard. d. A Geotechnical Report for the building site area is required at the time of submittal.
