Right of Way Dedication:
Approximately 10.5-ft wide or 1,400 sf of the frontage will be dedicated to the city for
the street improvements.
5.) Justification for the Modification Request
A Per City code 4-6-060 frontage improvements are required for new construction
in excess of $150,000. The proposed project fronts SE Petrovitsky Road along the
south property line. SE Petrovitsky Road is classified as a 5 lane Principal Arterial
with an existing paved width of approximately 60 feet consisting of four travel
lanes and center turn lane. Existing Right-of-Way (ROW) width is approximately
92 feet however the road centerline is offset and there is approximately 42 feet of
ROW from the centerline to property line per the King Conty Assessors map. To
meet the City’s complete street standards for 5 lane Principal Arterial streets,
minimum ROW is 103 feet. Per City code 4-6-060 half street improvements shall
include a pavement width of 66 feet (33 feet from centerline), a 0.5-foot curb, an
8-foot planting strip, an 8-foot sidewalk, a 2-foot clear space at back of walk,
street trees and storm drainage improvements.
Modification Request: However, SE Petrovitsky Road lies within the adopted
Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan. This plan calls for a shared use path on
the north side of Petrovitsky Road. Additionally, the Transportation department
has indicated that the existing curb-curb width is sufficient. Therefore, we are
requesting that half street improvements include retaining the existing pavement
width (approximately 30 feet from centerline), a 0.5 foot curb, an 8-foot planting
strip, a 12 foot wide shared use path, a 2-foot clear space at the back of walk,
street trees and storm drainage improvements. Along with a dedication of
approximately 10.5 feet is required for the improvements pending final survey.
B The propose is just to keep the existing curb line and modify the street section to
a 12-ft walk.
C. Since the sidewalks are required they will meet the City standards and are
consistent with frontage improvements required by any other development.
D The frontage will conform to the required City standards.
E The proposed improvements are justified based on the city staff comments for the
project.
F The proposal is for modifications to the frontage improvements (Curb, gutter, and
sidewalk which will have no impacts on the neighboring properties.
