SUBJECT: Talbot SFR
1. The fire flow requirement for a single-family home is 1,000 gpm minimum for dwellings up to
3,600 square feet (including garage and basements). If the dwelling exceeds 3,600 square feet, a
minimum of 1,500 gpm fire flow would be required. A minimum of one fire hydrant is required
within 300-feet of the proposed buildings and two hydrants if the fire flow goes up to 1,500 gpm.
At least one new fire hydrant will be required to be installed. The existing city water main is an
8-inch dead end main and therefore cannot support enough water flow for another fire hydrant.
Therefore, the options would be to loop the existing dead end main with at least approximately
550-feet of new water main or install an approved residential fire sprinkler system that can
substitute for a second fire hydrant. The applicant shall work with a fire sprinkler designer to
ensure that the underground supply pipe for a combined new home and a fire sprinkler system is
sized sufficiently for both systems.
2. The fire impact fees are currently applicable at the rate of $829.77 per single family unit. This fee
is paid at building permit issuance.
3. Fire department apparatus access roadways are required to be a minimum of 20-feet wide, with
25-feet inside and 45-feet outside turning radius. Fire access roadways shall be constructed to
support a 30-ton vehicle with 75-psi point loading. Access is required within 150 feet of all points
on the buildings. Dead end streets over 150-feet requires a hammerhead type fire apparatus
turnaround. The proposed turnaround cannot be constructed within the parking apron area of
the proposed new house garage. Turnaround dimensions shall meet fire code minimums. See
attached diagram. Maximum grade is 15 percent. All homes on dead end streets that exceed
700 feet require an approved fire sprinkler system, regardless of size.

DATE: May 11, 2023
TO: Pre-Application File No. 23-000122
FROM: Alex Morganroth, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Usman Rizvi Residence
3106 Talbot Rd S (APN 3023059134)
General: We have completed a preliminary review of the pre-application for the above-referenced development
proposal. The following comments on development and permitting issues are based on the pre -application
submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant and the codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant
is cautioned that information contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by
official decision-makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Community & Economic Development Administrator, Public Works
Administrator, Planning Director, and City Council). Review comments may also need to be revised based on site
planning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. The applicant is encouraged to
review all applicable sections of the Renton Municipal Code. The Development Regulations are available online at
www.rentonwa.gov.
Project Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a single-family home on the site at 3106 Talbot Rd S (APN
3023059134). The site is approximately 40,200 sq. ft. (0.92 acres) in size and is currently undeveloped. The parcel
has a Comprehensive Plan Land Use of Designation of Residential Medium Density and a zoning designation of
Residential-8 (R-8) dwelling units per net acre (du/ac). According to the applicant, the new single-family home would
be approximately 6,500 sq. ft. in size with a three -car attached garage. Access to the site is proposed via an existing
access easement on the abutting property to the west (3100 Talbot Rd S; APN 3023059033) connecting the site to
Talbot Rd S. No individual trees were identified for removal by the applicant. According to COR Maps, sensitive
slopes are mapped on the site.
Current Use: The site is currently undeveloped.
Zoning/Density Requirements: The subject property is located within the R-8 zoning classification. The density
range allowed in the R-8 zone is a minimum of 4.0 to a maximum of 8.0 dwelling units per one net acre. For purposes
of calculating net density: All fractions shall be truncated at two numbers past the decimal. Should a calculation
result in a fraction of a dwelling unit that is 0.50 or greater, the fraction shall be rounded up to the nearest whole
number, for example, 4.56 dwelling units becomes 5.0. Should a calculation result in a fraction that is less than 0.50,
the fraction shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, for example, 4.49 dwelling units becomes 4.0
dwelling units. The Residential Medium Density Land Use designation is intended to create opportunities for new
single family residential neighborhoods and to facilitate high-quality infill development that promotes reinvestment
in existing single family neighborhoods. No new lots are proposed and therefore the proposal for one new single-
family residence on an existing lot complies with the zoning and density requirements for R-8 zone.
Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, “Development Standards for Single Family
Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application (noted as “R-8 standards” herein).
9
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 zone is 5,000 square feet for
parcels being subdivided. Minimum lot width is 50 feet for interior lots and 60 feet for corner lots; minimum lo t
depth is 80 feet. The width of lots at their foremost points (i.e., the points where the side lot lines intersect with
the street ROW line) cannot be less than 80% of the required lot width (40 feet for R-8 zone), except in cases of lots
on a street curve or the turning circle of a cul-de-sac, which must have a minimum of 35 feet. Lots abutting both a
public street and a driveway tract are classified as corner lots. No changes to the existing lot is proposed. The
existing lot appears to complies with the dimensional requirements for the R-8 zone.
Building Standards – The R-8 standards allow a maximum building coverage of 50% of the lot area. The maximum
impervious coverage in the R-8 zone is 65%. The maximum wall plate height is restricted to 24 feet, and the buildings
shall not be more than two stories. Roofs with a pitch equal to or greater than 4:12 may project an additional six
(6) vertical feet from the maximum wall plate height; common rooftop features, such a s chimneys, may project an
additional four (4) vertical feet from the roof surface. Non-exempt vertical projections (e.g., decks, railings, etc.)
shall not extend above the maximum wall plate height unless the projection is stepped back one -and-a-half (1.5)
horizontal feet from each façade for each one (1) vertical foot above the maximum wall plate height. Detached
accessory structures are restricted to a maximum wall plate height of 12 feet. The gross floor area must be less than
that of the primary structure. Accessory structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations. The
applicant did not indicate the height of the proposed structure and therefore compliance could not be determined.
The proposal’s compliance with the building standards would be verified at the time of building permit review.
Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the property line. The
required setbacks for the R-8 zone are: Front yard: 20 feet for the primary structure; Rear yard: 25 feet; Side yards:
5 feet; and Secondary Front yard: 15 feet. Corner lots required to have a front yard and a secondary front yard are
relieved of the requirement to have a rear yard; in place of a rear yard setback, the side yard s etback of the zone
shall apply. The applicant has proposed orienting the house to the west with a front yard setback of 35.4 feet, a
rear yard setback of 253 feet, and side yard setback of 8.1 feet (north) a second side yard setback of 22.4 feet
(south). Per RMC 4-11-250 Definitions Y, a front yard is defined as the area “that separates the structure(s) from
public right-of-way, private access easement, or shared driveway.” As proposed, the single-family would not be
compliant with the setback requirements due to the incorrect orientation of the home. The proposal’s compliance
with the setback requirements would be verified at the time of building permit review.
Residential Design and Open Space Standards: The Residential Design and Open Space Standards contained in RMC
4-2-115 would be applicable to any new residential structures.
Access/Driveways: There shall be no more than one driveway for each one hundred sixty five feet (165') of street
frontage serving any one property or among properties under unified ownership or control; for each one hundred
sixty five feet (165') of additional street frontage another driveway may be permitted subject to the other
requirements of this Section. Driveways exceeding 8% must provide slotted drains at the lower end of the driveway.
The maximum driveway slopes cannot exceed 15%. If the grade exceeds 15%, a variance is required. The maximum
width of single loaded garage driveways shall not exceed 9 feet and double loaded garage driveways shall not
exceed 16 feet. Access to the site is proposed via Talbot Rd S using an existing 12-foot wide easement across the
southern edge of the abutting site the east (3100 Talbot Rd S; APN 3023059033). A copy of the easement shall be
provided with building permit application.
Parking Each lot is required to accommodate off-street parking for a minimum of two vehicles. Compliance with
parking regulations would be verified at the time of building permit review.
Fences/Walls: If the applicant intends to install any fences or retaining walls as part of this project, the location
must be designated on the landscape plan or grading plan. A fence and/or wall detail should also be included on
the plan. A fence taller than 6 feet shall require a building permit or an explicit exemption from the Building Official.
A retaining wall that is 4 feet or taller, as measured by the vertical distance from the bottom of the footing to the
finish grade at the top of the wall requires a building permit. A fence shall not be constructed on top of a retaining
wall unless the total combined height of the retaining wall and the fence does not exceed the allowed height of a
standalone fence. For more information about fences and retaining walls refer to RMC 4-4-040.
10
Landscaping: With the exception of critical areas, all pervious area shall have landscape treatment. Landscaping
may include hardscape such as decorative paving, rock outcroppings, fountains, plant containers, etc. Ten feet (10')
of on-site landscaping is required along all public street frontages. Street trees and landscaping are required within
the Right of Way on public streets. Minimum planting strip widths between the curb and sidewalk are established
according to the street development standards of RMC 4-6-060. Street trees and, at a minimum, groundcover per
subsection L2 of RMC 4-4-070 shall be planted within right of way planting strips pursuant to the standards in
subsection F.2 of RMC 4-4-070, provided there shall be a minimum of one street tree planted per lot. Where there
is insufficient right-of-way space or no public frontage, street trees are required in the front yard subject to
approval of the Administrator. A minimum of two (2) trees are to be located in the front yard prior to final
inspection. A landscape plan shall be provided with the formal building permit application.
Tree Retention: When significant trees (greater than 6-inch caliper or 8-caliper inches for alders and cottonwoods)
are proposed to be removed, a tree inventory and a tree retention plan along with an arborist report, tree retention
plan and tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application as defined in RMC 4-8-
120. The tree retention plan must show preservation of at least 30% of significant trees. Please refer to RMC 4-4-
130, Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations for further general and specific tree retention and land clearing
requirements.
In addition to retaining a minimum of 30% of existing significant trees, each new lot would be required to provide
a minimum tree density of 30 tree credits per net acre. Tree credits encourage retention of existing significant trees
with larger trees being worth more tree credits.
TREE SIZE TREE CREDITS
New small species tree 0.25
New medium species tree 1
New large species tree 2
Preserved tree 6 – 9 caliper inches 4
Preserved tree 10 – 12 caliper inches 5

13
Significant trees shall be retained in the following priority order:
11
Priority One: Landmark trees; significant trees that form a continuous canopy; significant trees on slopes greater
than twenty percent (20%); significant trees adjacent to critical areas and their associated buffers; significant trees
over sixty feet (60') in height or greater than eighteen inches (18") caliper; and trees that shelter interior trees or
trees on abutting properties from strong winds, which could otherwise allow such sheltered trees to be blown down
if removed.
Priority Two: Healthy tree groupings whose associated undergrowth can be preserved; other significant native
evergreen or deciduous trees; and other significant non-native trees.
Priority Three: Alders and cottonwoods shall be retained when all other trees have been evaluated for retent ion
and are not able to be retained, unless the alders and/ or cottonwoods are used as part of an approved
enhancement project within a critical area or its buffer.
The Administrator may require independent review of any land use application that involves tree removal and land
clearing at the City's discretion.
The Administrator may authorize the planting of replacement trees on the site if it can be demonstrated to the
Administrator's satisfaction that replacement requirements in RMC 4-4-130H1e can be met.
Tree retention standards shall be applied to the developable area, as defined in RMC 4-11-040, Definitions D, of
a property.
Critical Areas: According to COR Maps, sensitive slopes are located on the site. Based on the presence of geological
hazards on the site, a geotechnical report prepared by a licensed professional may be required by the Building
Official at the time of building permit application submittal. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ascertain whether
any additional critical areas or environmental concerns are present on the site during site development or building
construction.
Environmental Review: The proposal is categorially exempt from Environmental (SEPA) Review per WAC 197-800-
11.
Permit Requirements: The project would require a building permit.
Impact Mitigation Fees: Fire, transportation, park, and school impact fees would be assessed and payable prior to
building permit issuance. The 2023 impact fees are as follows:
• A Transportation Impact fee of $3,276.44 per single-family dwelling unit; and
• A Fire Impact fee of $829.77 per single-family dwelling unit; and
• A Parks Impact fee of $3,276.44 per single-family dwelling unit; and
