Home My WebLink AboutEX_09_Public_Comments_City_ResponseFrom: Jill Ding Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2023 10:11 AM To: Kathy Wheat Subject: RE: 317 Hardie Kathy, Thank you for your comments, your comments have been included in the official file for consideration by the decision maker and you have been added as a party of record for this project. You had requested clarification on what the proposal included, the proposal would include the construction of one duplex on the property. A short plat is proposed to subdivide the property into two lots so that each unit within the duplex could be sold separately. You had also commented on the proximity of the duplex to the properties to the north an asked if it could be shifted to the south. The property to the south is zoned Residential-8 (R-8), which is a lower density single family residential zone. Our code requires an increased setback between the higher intensity multi-family structures and the lower intensity single family structures to provide a buffer or transition between the different zoning designations, which is the reason that the proposed duplex is shifted to the north on the property. The required setback from the south property line would be 10 feet and the required setback from the north property line would be 5 feet. The entire project file is available online at the following link: https://edocs.rentonwa.gov/Documents/Browse.aspx?id=10102529&dbid=0&repo=CityofRenton Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

The structure is off set sitting several feet closer to the N lot line than the S lot line. My concern is though it is likely within the City's 5 ft. requirement, our neighboring townhouse has 2 ft. bump- outs & mature vegetation. If a fence is built, it will be 3' from our exterior wall & the new structure 8 feet from our exterior walls. In the event of fire or other catastrophic event & a need to vacate in an emergency through windows, the exit would be CAUTION: This email originated from outside the City of Renton.

In addition, you have been added as a party of record. As a party of record, you will receive a copy of the final decision for this proposal. In your comments you asked that the City deny the requested proposal and retain the property as vacant land. The property is zoned for Residential Multi-Family development, so as long as the proposal complies with the City’s adopted zoning regulations we cannot deny the requested proposal. We will work with the applicant to ensure compliance with the City’s adopted tree retention and landscaping regulations. Please let me know if you have additional questions.

The plot of land where the townhomes are planned to be built are home to three large trees and extensive blackberry plants. At a time when many species of birds and other animals are facing habitat loss, and the effects of climate change worse due to non-stop development, there is a community opportunity here to preserve a plot of land that could be serve the community in s different way, perhaps a community garden, instead of developing more townhomes.

Is there a process for requesting the builder to move the structure South by several feet? The home on the S side sits forward on the lot, further off the lot line, is much smaller & a single story. There are several more feet on that side to work with. Having 2, 3-story units so close together will put all crammed in with limited space for an emergency & daily living. We are very happy to see progress being made but are concerned in regard to the minimal distance between structures. Also, will this be built as a duplex on one lot sellable together, a duplex on 2 lots, individually sellable or 2 lots with 2 duplexes? The map appears to me to be one duplex on one lot but the Notice seems to indicate differently. A clarification would be helpful.
