provided with the Land Use Application. The report discusses the soil and groundwater
characteristics of the site and provides recommendations for project design and construction.
Geotechnical recommendations presented in this report support the use of limited infiltration on
every lot except lot 4.
2. Beyler Consulting, with the Land Use Application, submitted a Preliminary Drainage Plan and
Technical Information Report (TIR), dated March 9, 2023. Based on the City of Renton’s flow
control map, the site falls within the Flow Control Duration Standard- Matching Forested and is
within the Soos Creek Drainage Basin. The report is based on a Full drainage review and Core
Requirements 1 thru 9 and the six Special Requirements have been discussed in the Technical
Information Report.
a. Offsite Analysis, RSWDM Core Requirement #2: All proposed projects must submit an
offsite analysis report that assesses potential offsite drainage and water quality impacts
associated with development of the project site. The preliminary TIR submittal includes a
Level 1 Downstream Analysis.
i. The TIR submit with the civil construction permit shall provide an evaluation of
a Type 4 downstream drainage problem.
b. Flow Control, RSWDM Core Requirement #3: Any proposed detention and/or water
quality vault shall be designed in accordance with the RSWDM that is current at the time
of civil construction permit application. The project proposes a detention facility to meet
the flow control requirement.
