Current Town Initiatives
2023 TYP Stormwater Manual and Standards Update
The 2014 TYP Stormwater Drainage Guidelines are based in part on methodologies from the outdated 1992 King County Surface Water Design Manual. Since 1992, surrounding jurisdictions have adopted more recent versions of the King County Surface Water Design Manual or the Department of Ecology’s Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington with a prepared addendum to address any specific deviations. Additionally, the 2010 TYP Standard Plans and Notes need to be updated. The Town Council approved Gray & Osborne, Inc’s to provide updates to the Town’s Stormwater Drainage Guidelines and Standard Plans and Notes at the January 10, 2023 regular Town Council meeting.
Gray & Osborne has experience updating these review and planning tools and the final product will be one that:
· Reflects current stormwater design methodologies and best management practices.
· Updates outdated TYP standard plans document to incorporate past 10+ years of changes.
· Cross references our current planning documents (ie. Yarrow Point Municipal Code, permit and inspection
procedures, etc.) to verify they correspond with each other.
· Corresponds with the 2024 TYP Comprehensive Plan updates.
· Allows for easier plan review.
Town staff expects a draft of the two documents by May 15, 2023.

I prefer text messages and will work with town staff as necessary to address any remaining items.
NOTE: A full grind and overlay has been approved by the Town Council. King County Roads will be running the show with a contractor yet to be determined, and the work is tentatively scheduled to start mid-August. The scope of work includes all asphalt areas in the public right-of-way corridor on 94th Ave NE, NE 38th Street, and NE 40th Street. Please check my monthly staff report in the monthly Town Council packets for up-to-date information as summer approaches.
"Thank you!" to everyone who had to endure this project for the past 8 months.
