I have reviewed for the Benson & 176th (Petrovitsky) project located at parcel(s) 292305-9017,
9095, and 9110. The following comments are based on the land-use application submittal made
to the City of Renton by the applicant.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site is approximately 1.67 acres in size and is rectangular in shape with two lots fronting SE
Petrovitsky Rd extending approximately 300 feet to the north with the parcel fronting both 108th
Ave SE (Benson) and SE Petrovitsky Rd extending approximately 140 feet to the north. The site
is relatively flat and contains a vacant gas-station and vehicle service building at the corner of the
intersection and vacant buildings on the longer rectangular parcels. There is also an active cell-
tower array located on one of the vacant parcels. As mentioned previously, the existing vacant
commercial sites contain multiple buildings and is covered approximately 900 percent by
impervious areas such as parking, buildings and service areas with the remainder grass and a treed
areas located within the interior of the site’s existing lot lines. The site generally slopes from the
east to west and runoff is collected by an existing onsite conveyance system and routed to the
public conveyance systems on 108th Ave SE and SE Petrovitsky Rd.

proposed to connect to the City of Renton’s storm drainage system located within 108th
Ave SE.
a. The development currently is showing a 27,000 cubic foot detention vault to meet
the flow control requirement. During the review of the final TIR the applicant will
need to ensure that flow control standards are being met as outlined in the 2022
RSWDM.
b. The applicant is proposing to use the modular wetland in order for the project to
meet the enhanced water quality requirements. The modular wetland is located
within the parking lot downstream of the detention system prior to connecting
into the City of Renton system located within 108th Ave SE.
c. On-site BMPs satisfying Core Requirement #9 will be required for the site. On-site
BMPs shall be evaluated in order of preference by feasibility as described in
Section C.1.3 of the 2022 RSWDM. All targeted impervious area to the maximum
extent feasible shall be conveyed to an On-site BMP.
i. The applicant is not currently proposing any mitigation for the site based
on the infeasibility criteria within the 2022 RSWDM. Final review of onsite
BMP feasibility will be reviewed during the civil construction permit
approval process.
d. The following stormwater improvements are required and shall be discussed or
revised within the TIR:
i. All Core Requirements and Special Requirements must be evaluated within
the TIR. The technical information report did not address Core
Requirement #6 and shall be evaluated during the civil construction permit
approval process.
ii. The technical information report noted that “oil control is not required for
this project, but an oil-water separator is provided for the runoff from the
fuel pumps.” Per Special Requirement #5 of the 2022 RSWDM notes that if
the proposed project develops a site that will have high-use characteristics
then oil control must be met. Additionally, high-use road intersections are
required to provide oil control. Since the site has an expected average
daily traffic count equal to or greater than 100 vehicles per 1,000 square
feet of gross building are and is subject to petroleum storage or transfer in
excess of 1,500 gallons per year, oil control for the entire site is applicable.
Also, City traffic studies from 2009 note that the ADT for the Benson-
Petrovitsky intersection is 29,000 trips which exceeds the minimum of
25,000 trips meeting the definition of high-use intersection. The applicant
shall evaluate utilizing oil controls per Special Requirement #5 during the
civil construction permit approval process. These oil control facilities will
be in addition to the oil control requirements of the covered fuel islands
and garbage/recycling areas.
3. Storm drainage improvements along all public street frontages are required to conform
to the City’s street and stormwater conveyance standards. Any new storm drain
installed on or off-site shall be designed and sized in accordance with standards found in
Chapter 4 of the 2022 RSWDM and shall account for the total upstream tributary area,
assuming developed conditions for onsite tributary areas and existing conditions for any
offsite tributary areas.

4. Effective June 22, 2022, the City of Renton has adopted the 2022 RSWDM, which is
based on the 2021 King County SWDM. Under the new 2022 RSWDM stormwater
requirements, on-site BMP sizing credits for modeling credits can no longer be used for
privately maintained on-site BMPs, with the exception of full dispersion and full
infiltration BMPs.”
5. A geotechnical report for the site was prepared by PanGEO, Inc. dated May 2019 and
was provided with the land-use submittal. The report includes information concerning
the soils, geology, drainage patterns, vegetation present, water table and soil
permeability, with recommendations of appropriate on-site BMP options with typical
designs for the site from the geotechnical engineer.
a. The geotech report should indicates that the site contains a fill layer consisting of
a few inches of gravel over sandy silt ranging from 2-1/2 to 4-1/2 feet. Below the
fill layer is a highly impermeable weathered Vashon till and Renton formation of
hard sandy silt with gravel below the till. Groundwater seepage was encountered
in portions of the test pits and indicative of perched locations of water due to the
perched till.
i. Due to the native soils underlying the site consisting of Vashon till, a
medium to very dense deposit comprised of clay, silt, sand, gravel, and
perched groundwater, the report determines that infiltration is infeasible
and non-infiltration alternatives should be considered to manage the
surface runoff at the site. Staff concurs with this recommendation and will
provide final review of infiltration options during the civil construction
permit process.
ii. Due to the presence of perched groundwater, the report recommends
where seepage is encountered, the base of the excavation should be
sloped to one or more shallow sump pits. Where loose soils are
encountered in conjunction with groundwater seepage, remedial measure
such as overexcavation of soft soils or tamping quarry spall into the base
of the excavation may be required.
6. Erosion control measures and construction stormwater pollution prevention measures
to meet the City requirements shall be proved for during the civil construction permit
process.
7. A Construction Stormwater General Permit from Department of Ecology will be required
since grading and clearing of the site exceeds one acre. A Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required for this site.
8. The current Surface Water Standard Plans shall be used in all drainage plan
submittals. The current City of Renton Standard Details is available online in the City
of Renton website.

vi. A minimum intersection radius of 35 feet is required at the intersection SE
Petrovitsky Road (176th St SE) and on 108th Ave SE (Benson Road/ SR 515),
however, the applicant shall provide detailed auto-turn analysis during the
civil construction permit approval process demonstrating clearly that large
trucks can negotiate the turn without driving onto the curb, crossing
ramps and landscape strip. If the review shows deficiency, the radius shall
be increased to accommodate the large vehicles and the site plan adjusted
accordingly.
vii. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) provided
comments during the land-use approval process. Primarily, the
intersection of SE Petrovitsky Rd and Benson Rd/SR 515) lies within
WSDOT’s jurisdiction for channelization and intersection control
operations. An Intersection Control Evaluation shall be reviewed and
approved by WSDOT prior to issuance of the civil construction permit. Any
changes resulting from WSDOT’s review shall be implemented in the final
civil construction design. A reduction in lane additions or elimination of
the right-turn and acceleration lanes shall not preclude the need for the
full right-of-way dedication as required in the sections above and below
for the programmed implementation of the corridor safety project in the
future.
b. 108th Ave SE (Benson Road/ SR 515) - is a Principal Arterial. Per King County

approved by WSDOT prior to issuance of the civil construction permit. Any
changes resulting from WSDOT’s review shall be implemented in the final
civil construction design. A reduction in lane additions or elimination of
the right-turn and acceleration lanes shall not preclude the need for the
full right-of-way dedication as required in the sections above and below
for the programmed implementation of the corridor safety project in the
future.
2. The proposed intersection corridor safety improvements shall, at a minimum, require
the relocation of the traffic signal at the northeast corner of the SE Petrovitsky Rd/108th
Ave SE intersection.
a. The relocation will require that crosswalk striping and ADA upgrades be made to
the opposing intersections, including, but not limited to receiving ramps, push
button signals, underground conduits, utilities and junction boxes.
b. A pedestrian actuated signal to cross the exclusive right-turn lane shall be
installed between the sidewalk and pedestrian refuge island.
3. The applicant has requested a street modification in order to modify the ROW width
and/or street cross sections for 108th Ave SE and SE Petrovitsky Rd.
a. The City’s transportation group has determined and will support an alternative
standard to match the established standard street sections for 108th Ave SE, SE
Petrovitsky Rd and the intersection thereof as described in sections 1 & 2 above.

c. Maximum driveway slope is 8%
10. Parking lot construction shall be in accordance with City code 4-4-80 (G).
11. A traffic impact analysis dated October 4, 2022 was provided by TENW. The site
generated traffic volumes were calculated using data from the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition, (2021). The
analysis determined vehicular traffic generated from a proposed development exceeds
20 vehicles per hour in either the AM (6:00 – 9:00) or PM (3:00 – 6:00) peak periods and
provided a discussion on traffic circulation to and from the site and onsite traffic
circulation.
a. Based on the calculations provided, the proposed development would average
1,085 new daily vehicle trips. Weekday peak hour AM trips would generate 71
new vehicle trips, with 34 vehicles leaving and 37 vehicles entering the site.
Weekday peak hour PM trips would generate 104 new vehicle trips, with 52
vehicles entering and 52 vehicles exiting the site. As detailed in the report the
proposed project is not expected to lower the levels of service of the surrounding
intersections included in the traffic study.
