•
LOCATION: Vicinity of 3101 Talbot Road South. •
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Applicant requests approval of a proposed two-lot short plat
together with. an exception to the Subdivision Ordinance to
permit a '20-foot wide private easement road. with a hammerhead •
turnaround. A waiver of the required off-site improvements is
also sought.
•
SUMMARY OF ACTION: Planning Department Recommendation: Approval of short plat
and exception subject to conditions; Denial of waiver.
•
Hearing .Examiner Decision: Approval of short plat and
exception subject to conditions; Denial of waiver.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT The Planning Department preliminary report was received by the '
REPORT: Examiner on July 24, 1979. •
•
PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Planning Department report, examining
available information on file with the application, .and field
checking the property and surrounding area, the Examiner
conducted a public .hearing on the subject as follows:
The hearing was opened on July 31, 1979 at 9:50 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the Renton
Municipal Building.
•
Parties wishing to ,testify were affirmed by the Examiner. •
It was reported that the Hearing Examiner and the applicant had received and reviewed
the Planning Department report, and the report was entered into the record as Exhibit #1.
Roger Blaylock, Associate Planner, reviewed Exhibit #1; and entered the following
additional exhibits into the record:
•
•
Exhibit #2: Short Plat as submitted • _4
•
Exhibit #3: Short Plat with staff comments •
The Examiner requested testimony by the applicant. Responding was:
John'Tharp
359 Thomas Avenue S.W.
Renton, WA 98055
Mr. Tharp, agent for Pasco Real Estate Agency, corrected Section D.3 (Physical Background)
of Exhibit #1, which states that the subject site is heavily wooded with a dense undergrowth
of blackberries and numerous alders, and advised that' heavily wooded areas exist to the
north and west of the proposal and only fruit trees and plantings.are located on the 'subject
site.
•
The Examiner indicated concern regarding establishment of precedence in allowing a private
easement to serve as access to private development which may be beyond the scope of the
Subdivision Ordinance. He inquired regarding ownership' of the easement. Mr. Tharp advised
that .the easement and Tax Lot 81 are 'under one, ownership, and owned by the applicant prior
. to sale. The Examiner noted that a public street could have been created 'at the time' of
sale of the property: Mr. Blaylock indicated that if creation of the public street had
• . occurred, a non-conforming 'lot would also have been created. David Clemens,. Senior Planner,
advised that both parcels', Tax Lots 18 and -81 connecting the plat to Springbrook Road, and
. the easement road had been established for a lengthy period of time and provided access to
the rear .lot long before,the sale of the property., The Examiner indicated concern that
. approval of the. request would establish precedence for creation of a private easement instead
of a public roadway and allow-a privilege that other landlocked properties in the city do
not have and provide access, which is against the public welfare of the city: • .
The Examiner inquired if the' applicant concurred in the recommendation to. pave a 16-foot
;'.;wide surface on the..easeMent .road: Mr. Tharp ,,indicated his concurrence and also advised
::,that:.'a deteriorating, garage, located on the subject site:'•would be removed if the short plat
Short Plat 375-79 Page Two,
i.s approved.
The Examiner asked a representative of the Public Works Department if the department
concurs in the recommendation for creation of a private easement for access purposes, and
the requirement for paving a 16-foot width of the 20-foot easement. Paul Lumbert, Traffic
Engineering Division, indicated department concurrence and also noted the requirement for
turnaround provision. The Examiner inquired if the existing grade on the easement exceeds
15%. Mr. Lumbert advised that it meets the grade requirement.
The Examiner requested testimony in support or opposition to the application. There was
no response. He then requested final comments from the Planning Department. Mr. Clemens
stated that the subject parcel exceeds the lot area requirements for two lots, all potential
alternatives have been explored for resolution of the access provision, and the Planning
Department recommends approval of the private easement to preclude creation of a non-
conforming lot.
The Examiner requested further comments. Since there were none, the hearing on File No.
Short Plat 375-79, E-376-79 and W-377-79 was closed by the Examiner at 10:10 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner
now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
1. The request is for approval of a two-lot short plat together with an exception to the
Subdivision Ordinance to permit the use of a private easement for access, and a waiver
from the required off-site improvements.
2. The Planning Department report sets forth the issues, applicable policies and provisions,
findings of fact, and departmental recommendations in this matter, and is herebyiattached
as Exhibit #1 and incorporated 'in this report by reference as set forth in full therein.
3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental
Policy Act of 1971, R.C.W. 43.21.C. , as amended, the subject proposal has been determined
exempt from the threshold determination by Gordon Y. Ericksen, responsible official.
4. Plans for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the impact
of this development.
5. There was no opposition to the proposal expressed.
6. All existing utilities are available and in close proximity.
7. The proposal is compatible with the required setbacks, lot coverage and height
requirements of Section 4-729 (General) of Title IV, 'Ordinance No. 1628, Code of
General Ordinances.
8. The proposed subdivision is in the vicinity of 3101 Talbot Road South, is approximately
.46 acres, and is located approximately 126.9 feet from Springbrook Road (Talbot Rd. S. ) .
9. The subject property is developed with an existing single family residence on the
northern half of the subject parcel and an old barn-like structure now serving as a
garage on the southern half. The applicant proposes to divide. the parcel into two
lots, leaving the existing residence on one lot and eventually removing the barn
and replacing it with another single family residence on the other lot.
10. The existing single lot is served by a private easement of approximately 127 feet,
running west. off of Springbrook Road. The existing lot is a prior legally non-conforming
lot. Section 9-1102 of the Subdivision Ordinance defines a lot as abutting on aipublic
highway or street and the lot With the easement was annexed into the city in its present
non-conforming state. The applicant has, therefore, applied for an exception to the
Subdivision Ordinance to permit the creation of an additional lot with non-conforming
access via a non-public right-of-way.
11. In addition, since there are no off-site improvements in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed subdivision, the applicant has requested a waiver of the required off-site
improvements. '
Since the private easement serves as the only access to the property, the Planning
and Public Works Departments have recommended that the easement be paved to a standard
width of 16 feet as a minimum requirement similarly applied to improved city streets.
Short Plat s75-79 Page Three
•
12. The area is zoned G-9600 and both of the proposed lots would meet the minimum lot area
requirements. The Planning Department has studied various alternatives for access and
with the concurrence of the Public Works Department has recommended that the exception
be granted for the private access easement. Each of the possible alternatives would
•
create some form of non-conforming lot in area or require third party participation.
13. The Comprehensive Plan indicated that the area in which the subject property is located
is suitable for single family development. The area is generally developed with lots •
. of about 9,600 square feet.
14. King County permits single family homes to be developed on lots which do not abut on
public rights-of-way and the subject property was annexed by the city in 1979 with
its non-conforming access. •
CONCLUSIONS: •
1. The proposed subdivision will be compatible with the G-9600 zoning of the area in which
the subject property is located. It is also compatible with the Comprehensive Plan
which indicates that the area is suitable for single family development.
2. Similar development is and has occurred in the area, and therefore, the proposed
subdivision will be in character with the surrounding neighborhood.
•
3. The creation of the proposed additional lot appears to serve the public interest in
that it will create an additional building site for single family development.
•
4. The proposed exception for easement access appears to be the only reasonable method
of providing access to the proposed subdivision. The private easement has effectively
served the present residence and the addition of one more dwelling served by this
easement will not cause any apparent harm to the public welfare or the neighboring
properties. Any other method of providing access lies beyond the ability of the
applicant because it would involve third party property.
At the same time this is the only method of ingress and egress to the subject parcels
and the recommendation that it be adequately paved to provide safe access for both
the future residents and for emergency vehicles is appropriate. Most homes in the
'City of Renton are located on public streets and the minimum requirement that this
proposal pave the access easement so that, it is similar to a public street is reasonable.
The request for Waiver of the required off-site improvement is therefore denied.
5. The granting of the exception may involve the' creation of a possible precedent,
especially in light of the fact that King County permits development on private
' roadways and the City of Renton is occasionally annexing such property. The city
may wish to examine its policy in regards to such annexations in the future with an
eye toward requiring an agreement from all property owners to permit the development
of public right-of-ways to all properties prior to' annexation.
DECISION: •
Exhibit #2 is approved.
The exception to permit a 20-foot wide private easement for access is approved subject to
the condition that the easement be paved for its entire length for a width of at least
sixteen feet and with a material approved by the Public Works Department.
The waiver from the ,required off-site improvements is denied.

J. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT/THRESHOLD DETERMINATION:
Pursuant to the City of Renton' s Environmental Ordinance and the
State Environmental Policy Act of 1971, as amended, ,,RCW.(43721C,
the subject proposal is exempt from the threshold determination
of environmental significance.
K. AGENCIES/DEPARTMENTS CONTACTED:
� 1. City of Renton Building Division.
2. City of Renton Engineering Division.
3. City of Renton Traffic Engineering Division.
4. City of Renton Utilities Division.
5. City of Renton Fire Department .
L. PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS :
1. The subject proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
land use designation of single family for the site and surround-
ing properties.
2. The proposed short plat is consistent with the existing zoning
in the vicinity. There have been no recent zone changes in the
area.
3. Both of the proposed lots exceed the minimum lot size require-
ment of the G-9600 zone.
4. The present lot is legally nonconforming in respect to its
access, a private 20-foot wide easement . This is an uncommon
situation in the city of Renton. In most cases the lots front
on public streets, and the nonconformity is generally the size
of the lot. The Zoning Ordinance allows the construction of a
building on substandard lots, if they meet the setbacks and
all other appropriate zoning requirements.
5. The applicant has requested an exception to the Subdivision
Ordinance to allow the short platting of the legal nonconforming
lot . The primary question is if a short plat , as requested,
expands the nonconformity, or whether the applicant should
bring the property into conformance by providing public access
prior to short platting.
6. Based on the land use and property ownership pattern, the only
possible way of modifying the access so that it would come
into conformance in respect to access would be to construct a
half-street along the southern boundary of the 60-acre parcel
to the north. (See vicinity map. ) It is not possible to con-
struct a half-street with a 30-foot wide dedication across
Tax Lot 81 without causing the lot to become substandard in
size (approximately 7900 square feet) . If a half street were
constructed on the 60-acre parcel, then the short plat could
be redesigned to provide access to proposal Parcel B by a pipe-
stem lot configuration. However, there is insufficient area
to meet the 9,600 square foot lot size requirement , when the
pipestem configuration is used.
7. On the other hand, if we consider the approximately 20 , 500
square feet of Tax Lot 18, the act of short platting does
not change the area that is presently legally nonconforming.
The fact remains that the residences will have to comply
with all setback and other Zoning Ordinance requirements.
8. The Department of Public Works has accepted the concept of
access by private easement , if a 16-foot wide paved surface
is provided. This is the standard paving width required for
half streets. At the same time, the Fire Department has
approved the request conditioned on the installation of a
new fire hydrant and the construction of access road with a
maximum of a 15% grade and an adequate turnaround.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
PRELIMINARY REPORT TO THE HEARING EXAMINER
PUBLIC HEARING: CELIA B. WOOTON
JULY 31, 1979

9. The applicant has requested a waiver of improvements to the
20-foot roadway presently serving the lot . Until 6 months ago,
Tax Parcel 81 was owned by the applicant . The private road l'
is the only access to the proposed short plat and should be
constructed to City of Renton standards.
CONCLUSION :
The subject short plat is unique in respect to the question of
access by private easement. However, it should be pointed out
that King County has allowed the creation of numerous land-locked
lots in the viewpoint of the City of Renton regarding private
access roads , and this situation will become very common with
further annexations. The fact remains that the lot is legally
nonconforming. The applicant is not requesting an extension of
the nonconformance. Any attempt to bring the access into con-
formance will result in the creation of nonconforming lots of
size.
M. DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends that the short plat and exception be granted
and the waiver of off-site improvements be denied subject to the
following conditions :
1. Paving of 16 feet of the access easement across Tax Lot 81
to a maximum grade of 15%.
2. Installation of a fire hydrant and turnaround per specific
design review by Fire Department and Public Works Department.

Dear Sirs:
I own a home located at 3101 Talbot Road South�iegally described as attached.
I would like to divide the property into two parcels as shown in the enclosed
drawing. If possible, I would then sell the southerly portion in order to
reduce the size of the land occupied by my dwelling. I am alone and the prop-
erty has become very difficult for me to maintain.
The south portion that I wish to sell has an oldcombination chicken house,
barn and garage on it and it should be demolished for the benefit of several
expensive homes that are to be constructed next to it, and to improve the
appearance of the neighborhood.
I understand that I must ask for an exception to your rule not allowing pipe
stem lots and by this letter I am making a request for the exception. I am
also, by this letter, requesting that off site improvements be waived on the
20 foot roadway presently serving my property and further I request that I
be allowed to use the 20 foot road for access to the two properties.
The lot that I propose to sell adjoins the recently approved "Bill Dunn"
short plat and it would conform nicely to a logical development of the area.
Yours truly,
P f

J. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT/THRESHOLD DETERMINATION:
Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the
State Environmental Policy Act of 1971, as amended, RCW 43-21C,
the subject proposal is exempt from the threshold determination
of environmental significance.
K. AGENCIES/DEPARTMENTS CONTACTED:
1. City of Renton Building Division.
2. City of Renton Engineering Division.
3. City of Renton Traffic Engineering Division.
4. City of Renton Utilities Division.
5. City of Renton Fire Department .
L. PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS :
11. The subject proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan'
land use designation of single family for the site and surround-
ing properties.
2. The proposed short plat is consistent with the existing zoning
in the vicinity. There have been no recent zone changes in the
area.
1
3. Both of the proposed lots exceed the minimum lot size require-
; ment of the G-9600 zone.
4. The present lot is legally nonconforming in respect to its
access, a private 20-foot wide easement. This is an uncommon
situation in the city of Renton. In most cases the lots front
on public streets, and the nonconformity is generally the size
of the lot. The Zoning Ordinance allows the construction of a
building on substandard lots, if they meet the setbacks and
all other appropriate zoning requirements.
5. The applicant has requested an exception to the Subdivision
Ordinance to allow the short platting of the legal nonconforming
lot . The primary question is if a short plat , as requested,
expands the nonconformity, or whether the applicant should
bring the property into conformance by providing public access
prior to short platting.
6. Based on the land use and property ownership pattern, the only
possible way of modifying• the access so that it would come
into conformance in respect to access would be to construct . a
half-street along the southern boundary of the 60-acre parcel
to the north. (See vicinity map. ) It is not possible to con-
struct a half-street with a 30-foot wide dedication across
Tax Lot 81 without causing the lot to become substandard in
size (approximately 7900 square feet) . If a half street were
constructed on the 60-acre parcel, then the short plat could
be redesigned to provide access to proposal Parcel B by a pipe-
stem lot configuration. However, there is insufficient area
to meet the 9,600 square foot lot size requirement , when the
pipestem configuration is used.
7. On the other hand, if we consider the approximately 20,500
square feet of Tax Lot 18, the act of short platting does
not change the area that is presently legally nonconforming.
The fact remains that the residences will have to comply
with all setback and other Zoning Ordinance requirements.
8. The Department of Public Works has accepted the concept of
access by private easement , if a 16-foot wide paved surface
is provided. This is the standard paving width required for
half streets. At the same time, the Fire Department has
approved the request conditioned on the installation of a
new fire hydrant and the construction of access road with a
maximum of a 15% grade and an adequate turnaround.

PUBLIC HEARING: CELIA B. WOOTON

9. The applicant has requested a waiver of improvements to the
20-foot roadway presently serving the lot . Until 6 months ago,
Tax Parcel 81 was owned by the applicant . The private road
is the only access to the proposed short plat and should be
constructed to City of Renton: standards.
CONCLUSION:
The subject short plat is unique in respect to the question of
access by private easement. However, it should be pointed out
that King County has allowed the creation of numerous land-locked
lots in the viewpoint of the City of Renton regarding private
access roads , and this situation will become very common with
further annexations. The fact remains that the lot is legally
nonconforming. The applicant is not requesting an extension of
the nonconformance. Any attempt to bring the access into con-
formance will result in the creation of nonconforming lots of
size.
M. DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION: •
The staff recommends that the short plat and exception be granted
and the waiver of off-site improvements be denied subject to the
following conditions :
1. Paving of 16 feet of the access easement across Tax Lot 81
to a maximum grade of 15%.
2. Installation of a fire hydrant and turnaround per specific
design review by Fire Department and Public Works Department.
