Hi Jill,
Will you please work with Cailin on a TUP to expand the fencing around a property they recently
acquired abutting their maintenance facility on Bronson and Park Ave? They would like to demolish the
house and extend an 8-foot tall fence within the front yard setback of the new property for a limited
amount of time. Let’s you and I connect on this in the next couple of days, but just wanted to get a
planner on board for Cailin to start the process. Thanks! -Matt

Hi, Matt ~ timing is as soon as possible. The fence installation task will be included in a scope of work I
am crafting with demolition of the Pirelli house and a garage building in the Park Ave Shop maintenance
yard. I expect I will need to know the details of what is allowed with the TUP before I send out the
solicitation to secure a contractor.
Thanks for setting me up with a project manager.

Hi Cailin,
DocuSign Envelope ID: E4164B93-93D5-4F44-A76A-AFA20C42E40B
Yeah if we’re talking about doing this on a temporary basis, we can look at the fence height and setbacks
via a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) instead of a variance. A TUP would be a much quicker process. I can
get you set up with a project manager to identify the needed materials to process the permit. What is
your timing on this? -Matt

Hi, Matt ~ if Parks and Recreation would like to request variances on the setback and height of the fence
along Park Ave N, can you let me know what is my first step to pursue this? We are hoping that because
it is intended to be a temporary fixture on the property, these variances would be a possibility. Thanks
for letting me know.

Thank you for this information ~ we will reevaluate how we want to proceed and line the contractor up
to secure the proper permit(s).

Good Morning Cailin,
Thanks for forwarding the information over. Here are some regulations associated with fencing in this
area:
· The fence allowance in the CA zone where your site is located is limited to 8-feet in height with
the exception of the 15-foot setback along Park Ave N. This front yard setback area from the
sidewalk inward 15-feet is limited to a 4-foot fence height.
· Any chainlink fencing is required to be coated with black, brown, grey, or green bonded vinyl.
· Any barbed wire would need a special administrative fence permit reviewed by the Current
Planning group. (I can provide you additional information on this if this is the route you want to
go).
· Fences over 6-feet in height require a building permit from the Development Services Division.
Also, with the old house coming down, if there are plans to pave the site you’ll want to check in with
Nate’s group to see if any stormwater regulations are triggered. Hope this helps. Let me know if you
have any other questions and/or clarifications of the items noted above. -Matt

Hi, Matt ~ I couldn’t tell if Nathan also forwarded the files I included in this request so attaching them
here to go with the first message in this chain. Thanks for your review and input.

Hi Cailin,
This is quite exciting for the group!
I’m including Matt to help answer the questions about fencing as fencing is handled by the planning
group.

Hi, Nathan ~ could you direct me to the code or person who can help me locate information about
fencing for an upcoming project? Before we send out the solicitation for bids we wanted to get these
details.
Parks and Recreation recently acquired and plans to demolish the house at 140 Park Ave N (attached)
and then extend the existing fence (dashed yellow) from around the Parks Maintenance yard at 130 Park
Ave N to extend the yard’s footprint. Also attached are photos of what the current fence looks like (8’
DocuSign Envelope ID: E4164B93-93D5-4F44-A76A-AFA20C42E40B
tall) along the east side of the yard and the corner where it currently meets up with the fence in the
residential yard at the site.
What are the conditions for fencing in this part of Renton and can we extend the same type from the
maintenance yard around this newly-acquired property? Thanks for your help.
