MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 28, 2022
TO: Jill Ding
City of Renton
FROM: Amy Wasserman / Jeff Schramm
TENW
SUBJECT: Street Modification Request
Benson-Petrovitsky Retail (PRE22-000218)
TENW Project #2022-257
This memorandum documents the street modification request prepared for the proposed Benson-Petrovitsky
Retail project located on the northeast corner of Benson Drive S (SR 515) and SE Petrovitsky Road (SE 176th
St) in Renton. The purpose of this document is to present the proposed improvements to Benson Drive S and
SE Petrovitsky Road as part of a formal street modification request to the City of Renton.
Project Description
The project site is located on three adjacent parcels (#2923059110, #2923059095, and
#2923059017) on the northeast corner of the intersection of Benson Drive S (SR 515) and SE Petrovitsky
Road (SE 176th Street) in Renton as shown in the Attachment A vicinity map. The proposed project would
consist of up to 4,088 square feet (SF) of building area for a convenience market with gasoline pumps (8
vehicle fueling positions (VPDs)) and a 2,850 SF bank with a drive-thru ATM lane.
Vehicular access to the site would be provided by two right-in right-out (RIRO) only driveways; one each on
SE Petrovitsky Road and Benson Drive S. A preliminary site plan is included in Attachment B.
Street Modification Justification
The proposed roadway design and frontage improvements on SE Petrovitsky Road and Benson Drive S
deviate from the standards outlined in the City of RentonÊs Municipal Code (RMC) 4-6-060. However, the
proposed design is consistent with the planned improvements included in the City of RentonÊs 2022-2027
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Carr Road corridor (City TIP #31) and also identified in the
preliminary (pre-30%) design plans for the intersection improvements prepared by the CityÊs Transportation
Division in 2014/2015. Due to the proposed frontage design being required by the City, a street
modification is required to allow a modification to the standard frontage design along both roads.
Additionally, all of the conditions identified by the City of Renton as required project mitigation on the SE
Petrovitsky Road and Benson Drive S frontages are being met with the design of the Benson-Petrovitsky Retail
project as further described next.

SE Petrovitsky Road (176th St SE)
SE Petrovitsky Road (176th St SE) is a five lane Principal Arterial. Per Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-6-
060, minimum ROW width required on a five-lane principal arterial is 103 feet (half-street ROW=51.5 feet).
Based on existing survey, the existing half street ROW width on the site frontage is approximately as follows:
o 42.0 feet along parcel #2923059110
o 30.0 feet along parcel #2923059095
o 42.0 feet along parcel #2923059017
Street frontage improvements on the north side of SE Petrovitsky Road identified in the CityÊs Transportation
Division preliminary plan for TIP #31 include roadway widening to provide an additional 11-foot wide right-
turn only lane, 0.5-foot-wide curb, 8-foot-wide landscaped planter, 12-foot wide sidewalk, and a 2-foot clear
area from back of sidewalk to the new ROW line.
These street and frontage improvements identified by the City Transportation Division to be provided by the
developer will require varying ROW dedication along the frontage of the 3 parcels. Subject to final survey,
the ROW dedication width on the site frontage is anticipated to be as follows to provide a total future half-
street public ROW of 61.5 feet along the Benson-Petrovitsky Retail project frontage:
o 19.5 feet along parcel #2923059110
o 31.5 feet along parcel #2923059095
o 19.5 feet along parcel #2923059017
A street section showing and labelling the existing ROW line, centerline of ROW, ROW dedication,
centerline of pavement, pavement width, showing and labelling all the street frontage elements and widths is
provided in Attachment B and will be included with the land use application.
Benson Drive S (108th Ave SE/ SR 515)
Benson Drive S (108th Ave SE/ SR 515) is a Principal Arterial. Per Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-6-060,
the minimum ROW width required on a five-lane principal arterial is 103 feet (half-street ROW = 51.5 feet).
Based on existing survey, the existing half street ROW width on the Benson Drive S site frontage is
approximately 45 feet.
Street frontage improvements on the east side of Benson Drive S identified per RMC 4-6-060 and also
included in the CityÊs Transportation Division preliminary plan for TIP #31 include roadway widening to
provide an 11-foot-wide acceleration lane, 0.5-foot-wide curb, 8-foot-wide landscaped planter, 8-foot-wide
sidewalk, and 2-foot clear width from the back of sidewalk to the new ROW line.
The street and frontage improvements identified by the City Transportation Division to be provided by the
developer will require a ROW dedication of 17.5-ft and the total future half-street public ROW would be
62.5 feet along the Benson-Petrovitsky Retail project frontage.
A street section showing and labelling the existing ROW line, centerline of ROW, ROW dedication,
centerline of pavement, pavement width, showing and labelling all the street frontage elements and widths is
provided in Attachment B and will be included with the land use application.

Compliance with Decision Criteria
The street and frontage improvements to be constructed on SE Petrovitsky Road and Benson Drive S by the
Benson-Petrovitsky Retail project would meet all of the following decision criteria outlined in Renton Municipal
Code (RMC) 4-9-250-D-2 related to a modification request:
A) Substantially implements the policy direction of the policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Element and the Community Design Element and the proposed modification is the minimum
adjustment necessary to implement these policies and objectives;
B) Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and
maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering judgement;
C) Will not be injurious to other property(ies) in the vicinity;
D) Conforms to the intent and purpose of the Code;
E) Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended
F) Will not create adverse impacts to other property(ies) in the vicinity.
Conclusion
The applicant for the proposed Benson-Petrovitsky Retail project requests the CityÊs approval of street
modifications for the SE Petrovitsky Road and Benson Drive S frontage improvements associated with the
Benson-Petrovitsky Retail project since the street and frontage improvements being constructed by the project
on both SE Petrovitsky Road and Benson Drive S are being required by the City as part of a planned TIP
project for the Carr Road corridor (TIP #31).
