Surface Water 10/14/04 Page 7 of 10
activities which do not involve expenditures at least equal to the cost of remedying the
possible adverse impacts of such activities, the required financial guarantee shall be
equal to City staff's best estimate of the possible costs directly associated with
remedying the adverse impacts to public or private properties not associated with the
development.
2. The amount of any financial guarantee shall not serve as a gauge or limit to
the compensation collected from a property owner because of damages associated with
any surface water activity.
D. The City shall retain the financial guarantee until the completion of any project
involving surface water activity or following a prescribed trial maintenance period.
E. The City of Tukwila may redeem financial guarantees provided in accordance

cover possible risks. All insurance policies obtained in accordance with these
provisions shall name the City of Tukwila as an "additional insured," and shall be
written by a company licensed to do business in the State of Washington. Neither
issuance of a permit, nor compliance with these provisions or any other conditions
imposed by the City relieves any person from responsibility for damage to persons or
property otherwise imposed by law, nor for damages in an amount greater than the
insured amount. Issuance of a permit shall not form the basis of liability against the
City for damages to persons or property arising from the development activities
permitted by the City or otherwise undertaken by any person.
14.30.140 Exceptions
A. Requested by Applicant.
1. The Director may grant a written exception from any requirements of TMC
Chapter 14.30 if there are exceptional circumstances applicable to the site such that strict
adherence to the provisions contained herein will result in unnecessary hardship and
not fulfill the purpose of TMC Chapter 14.30. The cost to design and construct the
improvements shall not constitute hardship and shall not form the basis for an
exception.
2. The applicant shall provide the Director a written request stating the
specific exception sought and the reasons supporting the exception.
3. The Director may grant an exception to TMC Chapter 14.30 only if all of
the following criteria are met:

of TMC Chapter 14.30;
Surface Water 10/14/04 Page 8 of 10
c. Granting the exception or standard reduction will not be detrimental
to the public welfare, public safety, existing drainage systems or other property in the
drainage basin; and
d. The recommendation of a registered civil engineer supports the
exception.
B. Low Impact Development.
1. In order to achieve the City's goal of increasing the amount of
development with less impervious surface, the Director may approve exceptions to
Public Works standards, including street standards. Exceptions requiring approval
under the land use codes, such as parking and landscaping, must be made to the
Department of Community Development.
2. The applicant shall provide justification for each exception and shall show
that the project meets all other TMC requirements, and that the project has a reasonable
assurance of long -term success.
3. Each exception shall be assessed on the following criteria:
a. The result will compensate for or be comparable to surface water flow
control and treatment that is in the public's interest;
b. The exception contributes to and is consistent with achieving low
effective impervious surface area within a development;
c. The exception contains reasonable assurances that low effective
impervious surfaces will be achieved and maintained;
d. Granting of the exception will not threaten public health and safety;

hydrologic conditions to the maximum extent possible; and
(6) Reduction of effective impervious surface to lowest extent
practicable.
g. The exceptions do not present significantly greater maintenance
requirements at facilities that will eventually be transferred to the public ownership;
h. Covenant, conditions and restrictions necessary for native growth
protection easements, impervious surface restrictions, and other such critical features
necessary for the exceptions will be recorded against and will be binding against all
affected properties.
C. The Director may require a monitoring and evaluation plan in order to
measure performance of specific elements in the exceptions.
D. The Director may require a performance bond for 150% of the installation cost
of the exceptions.
E. The Director may require a two -year maintenance bond for 20% of the
construction cost.
14.30.150 Liability
