Subject: · Expiration period for the Chen Short Plat
City of Renton File LUA07-010, SHPL-A
Dear Mr. Chen:
This letter is to acknowledge that we have received your request for an extension dated
September 4, 2013, of the above referenced short plat.
The City of Renton approved the above referenced short plat on March 20, 2007. This
approval is ordinarily good for two years only, with the possibility of an additional one
year extension from the Planning Division (RMC 4-7-070M). For a period oftime, an
additional two year extension was available per ordinance 5452.
Our records indicate a one-year extension and the two-year extension under Ordinanc.e
5452 were granted on August 26, 2010 extending the expiration period to September
10, 2013. Unfortunately, no further extensions of the filing deadline are possible. As of
September 10, 2013, your short plat has expired, therefore, the short plat approval
has become null and void and you will need to resubmit all application materials and
meet current codes.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at (425) 430-7286.

Subjet: Request for Extension of Project's Period of Validity
Chen Short Plat/ City of Renton File LUA07-01 O
Dear Ms. Henning;
It is my intention to complete the Chen Short Plat (LUA07-010} in one year. Due to
financial difficulties I am unable to complete the project by the September 10, 2013 due
date. The economic downturn made it very difficult to perform any type of construction
work required for recording this project.
I am requesting a one year extension for Chen Short Plat (LUA07-010) which is expiring
September 10, 2013. This time will allow me to secure necessary construction funding
required to complete the work and record the project.
If you have any questions feel free to call me at 206-396-8792.

SUBJECT: CHEN SHORT PLAT (LUA07-010, SHPL-A)
Dear Mr. Jalalyar,
Thank you for your letter of June l 51h in which you request clarification regarding the status of
the Chen Short Plat. On March 20, 2007, the short plat was approved subject to conditions. One
condition required that the lots meet the minimum size requirements of a restrictive covenant, or
remove the restrictive covenant from the plat to allow for a three-lot subdivision.
As the restrictive covenant has been voided by the action of the Renton City Council, you may
proceed with the project as a three-lot short plat.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I can be reached at: (425) 430-7286.
Sincerely,

Parcel No.: LUA-07-010, SHPL
Dear Ms. Henning:
The project is located in the NW 1/4, SW 1/4, SEC. 9, T. 23 N., R. 5 E., W.M., in King County,
Washington. The site is located at 762 Monroe Ave NE, Renton, WA 98056. The entire site covers an
area of approximately 0.46 acre and zoned Single-Family Residential RS (5,000 SF/Lot). The site
consists of an existing house and a garage.
The project proposes to subdivide this lot into three single-family lots through a short plat process.
The preliminary short plat was approved on March 20, 2007 as two lot because of the Hilands Tract
restrictive covenant binding lot size to a minimum of 6000 square feet. On the short plat approval
Report and Decision letter states that the applicant shall shall remove the restrictive covenant from the
face of the plat to allow for a three lot subdivision.
The Plat of Stewart's Highland Acre Tracts, Vol. 43 of Plats, Page 17 has the following restriction:
"No lot or portion of a lot shall be divided and sold or resold or ownership change or transfer
whereby the ownership of any portion of this plat shall be less than 6,000 square feet for suburban S-2
use, with a minimum lot width of 60 ft. "
It is our understanding that the on April 2008, the City of Renton City Council has removed the above
stated restrictive covenant.
With the removal of the restrictive covenant the proposed short plat approved on March 20, 2007 has
meet the City's approval requirements. We are requesting that the proposed project should be allowed
to proceed as a three lot short plat.

Dear Mr, Examiner:

Zanetta L. Fontes
Assistant City Attorneys
Aon S. Nielsen
Garmon Newsom II
Shawn E. Arthur
The above-referenced appeal was previously continued and is currently scheduled to reswne on
Tuesday, October 23, 2007, The City of Renton ("City") had requested a continuance to look
into several issues and having done so, the City is now prepared to report the following to the
Examiner:
The City issued is Administrative Decision on the Chen Short Plat on March 20, 2007. The
appeal period for this decision passed with no appeals filed. The Applicant then sent a letter to
the City dated July 17, 2007 seeking clarification on an issue in the Administrative Decision.
The Development Services Director Neil Watts then send a response to this July 17, 2007 letter
dated July 24, 2007. Appellant Voght then filed an appeal based on the answer contained in Mr.
Watt's July 24, 2007 letter.
After careful review, the City has determined that the July 24, 2007 letter was advisory in nature,
and therefore, should not have given rise to an appeal. Therefore, Mr. Watts is now retracting
that letter which effectively negates the appeal. He will be contacting Mr. Voght to inform him
of this. The status of the Chen plat now remains with the decision and conditions set forth in the
March 20, 2007 report, which were never appealed. 1
1 The Chen Administrative Report Decision's #4 states: 'The applicant shall revise and resubmit the short plat
plan as a two-lot subdivision, thereby ensuring lot sizes of 6,000 sq. feet (net) and a minimum 60' width; or, remove
the restrictive covenant from the plat to allow for a three-lot subdivision." This provision dictates the current status
of the Chen's short plat. Presumably, the likely desired outcome sought by Mr. Voght in this appeal (to prevent the
platting of the 3 lot short plat) would now result with the withdrawal of the letter and subsequent dismissal of the
appeal
As to the advisory "interpretation" of gross vs. net issue set forth in Mr. Watt's letter, the City anticipates that this
issue will arise again in a new subsequent case which contains similar issues. But, those issues will be addressed in
the Administrative Report and assuming a timely appeal is liled against that Report, this gross vs. net issue can be
properly addressed before the Hearing Examiner al a later date.

Dear Mr. Jalalyar:
Thank you for your letter of September 4, 2007. regarding the removal ofa restriction on the face of the
plat of Stewart's Highland Acre Tracts, Volume 43 of Plats, Page 17, Records of King County,
Washington, Tax Parcel No. 801110-0010.
It is my understanding you spoke with Ray Florcnt, regarding this issue within the last two weeks.
Following your conversation, Ray spoke to Andrea Petzel, of the City of Renton, to discuss the
county's position on this matter. According to Mr. Floren!, he later called to let you know what was
discussed.
The restriction you quote is a typical zoning restriction placed on most, if not all, of the plats of this era.
It noted the zoning in place at the time the subdivision was approved, and stated the lots within the
subdivision could not be divided any smaller than that specific zoning would allow. This restriction
obviously would have been enforceable under the then current code. However, today, King County
cannot enforce older codes or restrictions that have been superseded with the codes in effect today. Our
position is consistent with Court Decision 155 Wash.2d 112, 118 P3d 322.
It is common for this note to appear as a title encumbrance on many of the plats and short plats applied
for within our department. We have consistent] y ignored this restriction and proceeded toward
preliminary approval. If you have any additional questions, please contact Ray Floren!, Chief Land
Surveyor, Engineer Review Section, at 206-296-6790.

Subject: Chen Short Plat -Covenant Restrictions
LUA 07-010, SHPL
Dear Mr. Jalalyar:
This letter is sent as a follow-up to the Director's Determination dated July 24, 2007. The lots of
the Chen Short Plat are bound to a King County restrictive covenant requiring a minimum lot size
of 6,000 square feet and a minimum lot width of 60 feet. The short plat was approved on March
20, 2007 with the following condition:
Condition #4: "The applicant shall revise and resubmit the short plat plan as a two-
lot subdivision, thereby ensuring lot sizes of 6,000 square feet (net) and a minimum of
60' width; QI., remove the restrictive covenantfrom the plat to allow for a three-lot
subdivision. "
The approval and associated conditions were not appealed. Following that decision a
determination was made that the 6,000 square foot minimum can be met by gross, rather than net,
lot size. However, based on the conditions for Short Plat approval, the restrictive covenant must
either be removed or the plat plan revised to be a two-lot subdivision.
If the covenant cannot be removed, another option is for you to resubmit an application for three-
lot Short Plat because the condition of approval binds you to a two-lot subdivision. A new
application for a three-lot short plat could be approved administratively without the condition of
removing the covenant because of the recent Director's Determination that the requirement for
6,000 square foot lots could be met by gross, rather than net square footage.
Please contact me if you have any questions at (425) 430-7270,

RELEVANT FACTS
Legal Description of the Chen Short Plat -LUA-070-SHPL-A is as follows:
Lot 2, Block 1, Stewart's Highland Acre Tracts as recorded in Vol. 43 of Plats, Page 17, records of King
County, Washington.
Stewart's Highland Acre Tracts, Vol. 43 of Plats, Page 17; has the following restriction on the face of the
plat.
"RESTRICTIONS
No Lot or Portion of a lot of this plat, excepting those lots which are hereinafter restricted to business use,
shall be divided and sold, or resold, or ownership changed or transferred, whereby the ownership of any
portion of this plat shall be less than the area required for the use district stated on this plat, namely 6000
sq. ft. for suburban use, with a minimum lot width of 60 feet.
All lots in this plat are restricted to S-2 Suburban use. "
Renton Municipal Code, page 11-23 (Revised 12/05) -[LOT: A fractional part of divided lands having
fixed boundaries, being of sufficient area and dimension to meet minimum zoning requirements for width
and area, excluding private access easements. The term shall include "tracts" or "parcels."]
Report and Decision -J. DECISION:
4. The applicant shall revise and resubmit the short plat plan as a two-lot subdivision, thereby ensuring lot
sizes of 6,000 square feet {net) and a minimum 60' width; or, remove the restrictive covenant from the plat
to allow for a three-lot subdivision. 3/20/07.
NOTICE OF APPEAL -2
The Report and Decision was to be appealed by 4/03/07 or it would be final. There is a letter to MRK
engineering from the City ( 4/13/07) stating the decision above is final as no appeals have been filed to date
for this Short Plat.
The letter from MRK engineering requesting this appealed administrative decision gives their opinion of
the reason for the restriction on the face of this plat. The letter incorrectly refers to "an existing King
County Covenant". The issue is a Restriction on the face of a Recorded Plat.
I. At the time ofrecordation of this plat, King County did have jurisdiction to require compliance with their
Codes in effect at that time. Most Plats have covenants and restrictions.
2. This project only meets the City ofRenton's R8 Zoning by being revised to a 2-Lot Short Plat as
previously determined OR REMOVE THE RESTRICTIVE COVENANT FROM THE PLAT.
3. The City's approval ofLUA-03-067 SHPL was consistent with the Zoning and Lot definitions at that
point in time, but has no bearing on this Short Plat.
4. Considering the gross lot area for each lot is prohibited by the Renton Municipal Code's definition of a
Lot.
The restrictions on the face of this Plat have not been removed. As an owner of property in this Plat, I have
not even been contacted for an attempt at removal of any restrictions.
My understanding is that the restrictions and covenants on the face of Plats of Record are binding until they
are removed by a judicial decision.
The Project as a 3-lot short plat still does not meet the City's Single-Family Residential R8 Zoning at the
present time and will not until such time as the City revises their definition of a lot and/or decides to
remove plat covenants from consideration by planners, surveyors and engineers.
The appealed administrative decision dated 7/24/2007
{"For purposes of subdivision, the City has determined that the 6,000 square foot minimum can be met by
gross, rather than net, lot size."} is in direct conflict with the City's previous decisions and the RMC.
Based on the foregoing facts and arguments, Appellant James L. Voght, requests that the Hearing Examiner
enter an order that this administrative decision be overturned.

PL-A
Dear Ms. Petzel:
The project is located in the NW 1/4, SW 1/4, SEC. 9, T. 23 N., R. 5 E., W.M., in King County,
Washington. The site is located at 762 Monroe Ave NE, Renton, WA 98056. The entire site
covers an area of approximately 0.46 acre and zoned Single-Family Residential R8 (5,000
SF/Lot). The site consists of an existing house and a garage.
The project proposes to subdivide this lot into three single-family lots through a short plat
process. The preliminary short plat was approved on March 20, 2007. On the short plat approval
(Report & Decision) letter, city required to resolve an existing King County Covenant
"No lot or portion of a lot shall be divided and sold or resold or ownership changed or
transferred whereby the ownership of any portion of this plat shall be less than 6,000 square feet
for suburban S-2 use, with a minimum lot width of60 feet."
We have communicated with Beth Cheshier (206-296-7187), DDES, King County on June 20,
2007 regarding the covenant. She stated that the covenant references the King County Zoning
that was in effect at the time the plat was recorded. Once the area was annexed to the City of
Renton, the King County zoning does not apply. Since the site is within the City of Renton,
City's zoning applies. King County does not have authority over the city zonings.
In 2004, City of Renton has approved and recorded in King County a 4-Lots Short Plat #LUA-
03-067 SHPL (King County Recording No. 20041025900004) abutting Chen Short Plat in the
north. This short plat was within the same restrictive covenant as Chen Short Plat is. The city
has allowed the gross area for this short plat for each lot area. The gross area included the access
easement and PSE easement.
Chen Short Plat meets the requirements of the above restrictive covenant as follows:
• King County does not have any zoning jurisdiction over City of Renton therefore the
county suburban S-2 zoning does not applies anymore.
Page 1 of2 MRK
engineering pile
• Project meets the City ofRenton's Single-Family Residential R8 (5,000 SF/Lot) zoning.
• The city has approved a 4-Lots Short Plat #LUA-03-067 SHPL (King County Recording
No. 20041025900004) abutting Chen Short Plat in the north with same restrictive
covenant.
• Considering the gross lot area for each lot, the project meets the restrictive covenant stated
above.
Please consider the above stated facts and allow the project to proceed for construction plans
approval and final recording of three (3) lots short plat.

Dear Mr. Jal al yar:
This letter is in response to your request for a determination from the City regarding the
restrictive covenant for lots in the Stewarts Highland Acres Tract. These lots are bound to a King
County restrictive covenant requiring a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet and a minimum lot
width of 60 feet. Specifically, the restrictive covenant states:
"No lot or portion of a lot shall be divided and sold or resold or ownership changed or
transferred whereby the ownership of any portion of this plat shall be less than 6,000
square feet for suburban S-2 use, with a minimum lot width of 60 feet. "
For purposes of subdivision, the City has determined that the 6,000 square foot minimum can be
met by gross, ratherthan net, lot size.
This administrative decision will become final if not appealed to the Hearing Examiner by
5:00 p.m. on August 7, 2007. Appeals must be filed in writing, together with the required $75.00
application fee, to: Hearing Examiner, City of Renton, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA

Subject: CHEN SHORT PLAT
LUA-07-010-SHPL-A
Parcel No.: 801110-0010
Dear Ms. Petzel:
The project is located in the NW 1/4, SW 1/4, SEC. 9, T. 23 N., R 5 E., W.M., in King County,
Washington. The site is located at 762 Monroe Ave NE, Renton, WA 98056. The entire site
covers an area of approximately 0.46 acre and zoned Single-Family Residential RS (5,000
SF/Lot). The site consists of an existing house and a garage.
The project proposes to subdivide this lot into three single-family lots through a short plat
process. The preliminary short plat was approved on March 20, 2007. On the short plat approval
(Report & Decision) letter, city required to resolve an existing King County Covenant
"No lot or portion of a lot shall be divided and sold or resold or ownership changed or
transferred whereby the ownership of any portion of this plat shall be less than 6,000 square feet
for suburban S-2 use, with a minimum lot width of 60 feet. "
We have communicated with Beth Cheshier (206-296-7187), DDES, King County on June 20,
2007 regarding the covenant. She stated that the covenant references the King County Zoning
that was in effect at the time the plat was recorded. Once the area was annexed to the City of
Renton, the King County zoning does not apply. Since the site is within the City of Renton,
City's zoning applies. King County does not have authority over the city zonings.
In 2004, City of Renton has approved and recorded in King County a 4-Lots Short Plat #LUA-
03-067 SHPL (King County Recording No. 20041025900004) abutting Chen Short Plat in the
north. This short plat was within the same restrictive covenant as Chen Short Plat is. The city
has allowed the gross area for this short plat for each lot area. The gross area included the access
easement and PSE easement.
Chen Short Plat meets the requirements of the above restrictive covenant as follows:
• King County does not have any zoning jurisdiction over City of Renton therefore the
county suburban S-2 zoning does not applies anymore.
Page 1 of 2 MRK
engineering pile
• Project meets the City ofRenton's Single-Family Residential R8 (5,000 SF/Lot) zoning.
• The city has approved a 4-Lots Short Plat #LUA-03-067 SHPL (King County Recording
No. 20041025900004) abutting Chen Short Plat in the north with same restrictive
covenant.
• Considering the gross lot area for each lot, the project meets the restrictive covenant stated
above.
Please consider the above stated facts and allow the project to proceed for construction plans
approval and final recording of three (3) lots short plat.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at 206-799-1379 or email at

Format and Legal Description Review
Bob Mac Onie and I have reviewed the above referenced short plat submittal and have the
following comments:
Comments for the Applicant regarding the preliminary short plat:
Note that the indexing information is not correct as currently presented. The subject short
plat property is located in the NW 14 of the SE 14 of Section 9, not the NW 14 of the SW 14.
Revise all drawing sheets as needed.
Information needed for final short plat approval includes the following:
Note the City of Renton land use action number and land record number, LUA-07-010-SHPL and
LND-20-0482, respectively, on the drawing sheets, preferably in the upper right-hand corner.
The type size used for the land record number should be smaller than that used for the land use
action number.
The second drawing sheet (Sheet 2 of 3) is not needed for the final short plat submittal. The
existing configuration of the lots is not necessary for recording purposes.
Show two ties to the City of Renton Survey Control Network, and directly tie the subject property
to said Control Network. The geometry will be checked by the city when the ties have been
provided.
Note the date the existing monuments were visited, per WAC 332-130-150, and what was found.
Include a statement of equipment and procedures used, per WAC 332-130-100.

parcel.
The city will provide addresses for the proposed lots as soon as possible. Note said addresses on
the short plat drawing.
On the final short plat submittal, remove all references to sidewalks, concrete block walls, and
other items not directly impacting the subdivi.sion. These items are provided only for preliminary
short plat approval. Also, remove the hatching. striped lines, and other patterns shown on Sheet
3 of 3.
Remove the building footprints and the square footages of the new houses on all three lots.
Remove all references to building setback lines. as noted on the short plat lots. Setbacks will be
determined at the time that building permits arc issued.
Remove all references to zoning and density on the final short plat submittal.
Do show encroachments.
The City of Renton Administrator of Planning/Building/Public Works is the only city official
who signs this short plat. Provide an appropriate approval block and signature line. Pertinent
King County approval blocks also need lo be noted on the drawing.
All vested owner(s) of the subject short plat need to sign the final short plat drawing. Include
notary blocks as needed.
Include a declaration block on the drawing.
Note that if there are casements, restrictive covenants or agreements to others (City of Renton,
etc.) as part of this subdivision, they can be recorded concurrently with the short plat. The short
plat drawing and the associated document(,) arc to be given to the Project Manager as a package.
The short plat will be recorded first (by King County). The recording number(s) for the
associated document(s) are to be referenced on the short plat drawing. Provide spaces for the
recording numbers thereof.
The new 20' easement for ingress, egress and utilities is shown on the drawing for the benefit of
future owners of the proposed lots. Note on the drawing the following statement: "Area for new
private 20' ingress, egress and utility casement". Since the new lots created via this short plat are
H:\File Sys\LND -Land Subdivision & Surveying Recmd,\LNI >-20 -Short Placs\0482\RV070307.doc\cor

under common ownership at the time of recording, there can be no new easements established
until such time as ownership of the lots is conveyed to others, together with and/or subject to
specific easement rights.
Add the following Declaration of Covenant language on the face of the subject drawing, if the
previous paragraph applies:

G. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
1. Project Description/Background
Page 3
The applicant, Reuben Chen, proposes to subdivide a 0.46-acre (19,980 square foot) parcel into three tots for
the development of three new single-family homes. The existing single-family residence would be demolished.
The site is zoned Residential-8 (R-8) dwelling units/acre (du/ac), and is located east of Monroe Avenue, NE
and north of NE 7'" Street.
Proposed net tot sizes are: Lot 1-5,598 square feet, Lot 2-5,592 square feet, and Lot 3-5,990 square feet. The
proposal for three new lots would arrive at a density of 7.7 du/ac (net). Access to the proposed lots would be
provided via a private access easement from Monroe Avenue, NE, extending across the depth of Lots 1 and 2.
The project site is essentially level, with less than four feet of topographic relief. An approximate 4-foot-high
ecology block watt across the depth of the lot retains fill soils for the back yards of two abutting residences
along the north margin of the subject parcel. The site was vegetated with many large fir trees (22-40 inch
diameter), which the applicant removed prior to the application for short plat process.
An existing restrictive covenant on parcels within the Stewart's Highland Acre Tracts Plat states that:
"No lot or portion of a lot shall be divided and sold or resold or ownership changed or
transferred whereby the ownership of any portion of this plat shall be less than 6,000 square
feet for suburban S-2 use, with a minimum lot width of 60 feet."
The restrictive covenant references the King County zoning that was in effect at the time the plat was recorded
with the county. In order to remove the restrictive covenant, the applicant would need to seek approval from
the other property owners in the plat, or prove that the intent of the County was to comply with whatever the
applicable zoning was in place at the given lime. otherwise, the applicant must meet the covenant
requirements. As proposed, the Chen short plat does not meet the covenant requirements for 6,000 square
foot tots, but does meet the requirement for 60-foot width.
2. Environmental Review
Except when located on lands covered by water or sensitive areas, short plats are exempt from SEPA
Environmental Review pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(6)(a).
3. Compliance with ERC Conditions

REPORT AND DECISION DATED March 20, 2007; PROJECT LUA-07-010, SHPL-A Page 4
4. Staff Review Comments
Representatives from various city departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and address
issues raised by the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file, and the essence
of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report and the Departmental
Recommendation at the end of the report.
5. Consistency Short Plat Criteria
Approval of a plat is based upon several factors. The following short plat criteria have been established to
assist decision-makers in the review of the plat:
a) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Designation
The site is designated Residential Single Family (RSF) on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Map. Lands in the RSF designation are intended for quality residential detached development
organized into neighborhoods at urban densities. It is intended that larger subdivision, infill
development, and rehabilitation of existing housing be carefully designed to enhance and improve
the quality of single-family living environments. The proposal is consistent with the following
Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Community Design Element policies:
Policy LU-147. Net development densities should fall within a range of 4.0 to 8.0 dwelling units
per acre in Residential Single Family neighborhoods.
The proposed project for three lots would arrive at a net density of 7.7 dwelling units per net acre,
which is within the density range permitted.
Policy LU-148. A minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet should be allowed on in-fill parcels of less
than one acre (43,560 sq. ft.) in single-family designations. Allow a reduction on Jot size to 4,500
square feet on parcels greater than one acre to create an incentive for aggregation of land. The
minimum Jot size is not intended to set the standard for density in the designation, but to provide
flexibility in subdivision/plat design and facilitate development within the allowed density range.
All of the proposed lots exceed the minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet.
Policy LU-152. Single-family lot size, lot width, setbacks, and impervious surface should be
sufficient to allow private open space, landscaping to provide buffers/privacy without extensive
fencing, and sufficient area for maintenance activities.
The proposed new lots would meet the required lot size, width, and setbacks to create sufficient
front, rear, and side yard areas. The existing house on Lot 1 would be demolished, and future
structures would comply with setback requirements.
Policy LU-154. Interpret development standards to support new plats and infill project designs
incorporating street locations, lot configurations, and building envelopes that address privacy and
quality of life for existing residents.
The proposed lots are rectangular in shape; each lot would be oriented such that all of the lots
would have access to a public right-of-way via a private access easement. Approval of this
application would not decrease the quality of life for residents in the immediate vicinity.
Policy CD-1. Integrate development into natural areas by clustering development and/or adjusting
site plans to preserve wetlands, steep slopes, and notable stands of trees or other vegetation.
Natural features should function as site amenities. Use incentives such as flexible lot size and
configuration to encourage preservation and add amenity value.
The applicant's lot contained a notable stand of sixteen mature conifers, thirteen of which were
logged prior to applying for the short plat process. Staff will recommend that the remaining trees
be preserved as they do not interfere with the development process, and that replacement trees
are added to provide screening for neighboring properties.

REPORT AND DECISION DATED March 20, 2007; PROJECT LUA-07-010, SHPL-A Page 5
Policy CD-12. Infill development, defined as new short plats of nine or fewer lots, should be
encouraged in order to add variety, updated housing stock, and new vitality to neighborhoods.
The proposed short plat would subdivide an existing parcel into three lots. It is anticipated that
new residences would be constructed on all three lots, updating the housing stock in the existing
neighborhood.
b) Compliance with the Underlying Zoning Designation
The subject site is zoned R-8 on the City of Renton Zoning Map. The proposed development would
allow for the future construction of three new single-family dwelling units.
The allowed density range in the R-8 zone is a minimum of 4.0 to a maximum of 8.0 dwelling units
per acre. Net density is calculated after the deduction of sensitive areas, areas intended for public
right-of-way, and private access easements. A total of 2,800 square feet will be deducted for an
access easement across Lots 1 and 2, reducing the net area to 17,180 square feet (0.39 acres).
The proposal for three lots on 0.39 acres arrives at a density of 7.7 dwelling units per acre, which
falls within the permitted density range for the R-8 zone.
Lots over 5,000 square feet in the R-8 zone are allowed lot coverage of 35 percent or 2,500 square
feet, whichever is greater. The existing house on Lot 1 will be demolished, and the lot coverage for
all three lots would be verified at the time of building permit review. It appears that the three
proposed lots have adequate area to meet building lot coverage requirements.
The required setbacks in the R-8 zone are as follows: front yard is 15 feet for the primary structure
and 20 feet for an attached garage, side yard is 5 feet, side yard along a street (including the
access easement) is 15 feet for the primary structure and 20 feet for an attached garage and the
rear yard is 20 feet. An existing house is located onsite, across the proposed lot line for Lots 1 and
2. Staff recommends that the applicant obtain a demolition permit to remove the existing structure
and final inspection prior to recording the short plat.
The parking regulations require that detached dwellings provide a minimum of 2 off-street parking
spaces. As proposed, each lot would have adequate area to provide two off-street parking spaces.
Compliance with the parking requirements will be verified at the time of building permit review.
The R-8 zone permits accessory structures only when associated with a primary structure located
on the same parcel.
c) Community Assets
The entire site is vegetated with grass, shrubs and several large coniferous and deciduous trees.
However, prior to submitting for short plat approval, the applicant removed 13 mature coniferous
trees. RMC 4-4-13001 "Prohibited Activities" states: "There shall be no tree cutting or land
clearing on any site for the sake of preparing that site for future development unless a land
development permit for the site has been approved by the City."
The regulations regarding tree protection and retention require that trees on lots proposed for
development are maintained to the maximum extent feasible. The regulations permit the City to
require the replacement of trees that would implement the intent of the regulations. The
Development Services Director has made a determination that in order to comply with these
requirements, 25 percent of all protected trees shall be retained or replaced. As a condition of
short plat approval staff recommends requiring replacement trees to be replanted in accordance
with RMC 4-4-140J. In addition, Staff recommends that the applicant submit a revised landscape
plan that includes options for replacement trees on a 1-1 ratio, given the particular confines of
space and building area.
The City's landscaping regulations require the installation of landscaping within the public right-of-
way. The minimum amount of landscaping required for sites abutting an arterial public street is 5
feet provided that if there is additional undeveloped right-of-way in excess of 5 feet, this shall also
be landscaped. A determination has been made that if no additional area is available within the
public right-of-way due to required improvements, the 5-foot landscaped strip may be located
within private property abutting the public right-of-way. The landscaping proposed shall either
consist of drought resistant vegetation or shall be irrigated appropriately. In addition, the applicant
will be required to plant two ornamental trees, a minimum caliper of 1-1/2 inches (deciduous) or 6 -
AdminRPT _ ChenShortPfat. doc
City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED March 20, 2007; PROJECT LUA-07-010, SHPL-A Page 6
8 feet in height (conifer), within the 15-foot front yard setback area for the proposed lots. Existing
landscaping may be used to augment the required landscaping.
A conceptual landscape plan was submitted with the short plat application. A detailed landscape
plan is required to be submitted with future building permit applications. The detailed plan will
need to include plant species for the 5-foot landscape strip along Monroe Avenue, NE; two
ornamental trees, with the locations revised to be in the front yard of each proposed lot; and, the
thirteen replacement conifers. All landscaping would be installed prior to final recording.
If applicable, fence details should be included in the landscape plan. Allowable fence height is 48"
in the front yard (42" in clear vision areas), and 72" in the rear and side yards. Side yards begin
fifteen feet back from the front property line.
d} Compliance with Subdivision Regulations
Streets: No new public streets would be created as part of the proposed short plat.
Monroe Avenue, NE is classified as Minor Arterial on the City's Arterial Street Map. There is a
paved and partially improved public right-of-way along the Monroe Avenue, NE. Currently, no
sidewalk, curb, or gutter exist onsite. Street improvements including, but not limited to additional
paving, sidewalks, curb, and gutter will be required along Monroe Avenue, NE.
The proposed short plat is anticipated to generate additional traffic on the City's street system. In
order to mitigate transportation impacts, staff recommends a condition of approval be placed on
the project requiring a Transportation Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per net new average daily
trip attributed to the project. Two new lots (credit given for the existing residence) are each
expected to generate approximately 9.57 new average weekday trips. The fee for the proposed
short plat is estimated at $1,435.5 ($75.00 x 9.57 trips x 2 lots= $1,435.50) and is payable prior to
the recording of the short plat.
Blocks: No new blocks will be created as part of the proposed short plat.
Lots: The size, shape, orientation, and arrangement of the proposed lots comply with the
requirements of the Subdivision Regulations and the development standards of the R-8 zone.
Each of the proposed lots would have access to a public street (Monroe Avenue, NE) via a private
access easement.
The minimum lot size in the R-8 zone is 5,000 square feet. Lot area is calculated after the
deduction of private access easements and pipestems from the gross lot area. The proposed lot
sizes are 5,598 square feet for Lot 1, and 5,592 square feet for Lot 2, and 5,590 for Lot 3. The
proposed lot sizes meet the minimum lot size requirements.
However, while the lot confirms to the current lot standards of 5,000 square feet, it is bound by a
King County restrictive covenant for the Highland Acre tract that states: "No lot or portion of a lot
shall be divided and sold or resold or ownership changed or transferred whereby the ownership of
any portion of this plat shall be less than 6,000 square feet for suburban S-2 use, with a minimum
lot width of 60 feet." As a condition of approval staff will recommend the following: Resubmit the
plat plan as a two-lot subdivision, thereby ensuring lot sizes of 6,000 square feet (net) and a
minimum 60' width; QL remove the restrictive covenant from the plat to allow for a three-lot
subdivision. Based on the restrictive covenant, two lots would be the maximum permitted.
The minimum lot width required in the R-8 zone is 50 feet for interior lots. Proposed Lot 1 has a
width of 79.99 feet, Lot 2 has a lot width of 79.93 feet, and Lot 3 has a width of 60 feet. The
minimum lot depth required in the R-8 zone is 65 feet. Proposed Lot 1 has a lot depth of 70.03
feet, Lot 2 has a depth of 70 feet, and Lot 3 has a depth of 99.82 feet. The dimensions of the
proposed lots meet the minimum width and depth requirements and are compatible with other
existing lots in this area under the same R-8 zoning classification. In addition, the lots appear to
contain adequate building areas for the construction of suitable single-family residences when
taking setbacks and lot coverage requirements into consideration. These requirements will be
reviewed at the time of building permit application.
Based on the proposed subdivision, Staff recommends the following conditions regarding lot
orientation: The front yard for proposed Lot 1 would face west towards Monroe Avenue, NE; the
front yard for proposed Lot 2 would face north towards the access easement; and, the front yard
AdminRPT _ ChenShortPlat. doc
City of Renton PIS/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED March 20, 2007; PROJECT LUA-07-010, SHPL-A Page 7
for proposed Lot 3 would also face north. The rear yard for each of the lots is required to be
opposite the front yard. The proposed lots would be able to meet setback requirements, and
would be verified at the time of building permit review.
e) Reasonableness of Proposed Boundaries
Access: Each lot would have access to a public right-of-way (Monroe Avenue, NE) via a 20'
access easement. 12' of the access easement must be paved.
Topography: The topography of the subject site slopes gently to the east in the vicinity of
proposed Lots 2 and 3.
Relationship to Existing Uses: The properties surrounding the subject site are single-family
residences and are designated R-8 dulac on the City's zoning map. The proposal is similar to
existing development patterns in the area and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and
Zoning Code, which encourage residential infill development.
f) Availability and Impact on Public Services (Timeliness)
Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicate that sufficient resources exist to furnish
services to the proposed development, subject to the condition that the applicant provide Code
required improvements and fees. A Fire Mitigation Fee, based on $488.00 per new single-family lot
with credit given for the existing single-family residence, is recommended in order to mitigate the
proposal's potential impacts to City emergency services. The fee is estimated at $976.00 ($488.00
x 2 new lots = $976.00) and is payable prior to the recording of the short plat.
Schools: According to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the City of Renton Land Use
Element (January 16, 1992), the City of Renton has a student generation factor of 0.44 students
per single-family residential dwelling. Based on the student generation factor, the proposed short
plat would result in 0.88 additional students (0.44 X 2 lots= 0.88) to the local schools. The Renton
School District has stated that it can accommodate any additional students generated by this
proposal at the following schools: Highlands Elementary, Dimmitt Middle School and Renton High
School.
Storm Water: The proposed short plat would be exempt from detention and water quality
improvements per the 1990 KCSWM. Roof drains shall be tightlined to the storm system
whenever feasible. Infiltration is allowed if the soils are acceptable.
The Surface Water System Development Charges are based on a rate of $1,956.00 per new
single-family lot and is estimated to be $3,912.00 ($1,956.00 x 2 new lots=$3,912.00). Payment of
this fee will be required prior to issuance of utility construction permit.
A temporary erosion control plan will be required and shall be installed and maintained to the
satisfaction of the representative of the Development Services Division for the duration of the
project. The first order of business shall be installation of a silt fence along the perimeter of the
site that is to be disturbed. The silt fence shall be in place before clearing and grading is initiated.
This will be required during the construction of both off-site and on-site improvements as well as
building construction. Due to the potential for erosion to occur during project construction, staff
recommends as a condition of approval that the project be required to comply with the Department
of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements as outlined in Volume II of the current
edition of the Stormwater Management Manual.
Utilities: There is an existing 8-inch water main within the existing roadway (Monroe Avenue, NE).
The project site is located in the 565-water pressure zone and is outside the Aquifer Protection
Area. Fire flow available to the site is approximately 3,000 gpm. Static water pressure is
approximately 77 psi.
The required fire flow for single-family residences is 1,000 gpm, and a fire hydrant is required to be
located within 300 feet of all single-family residences. If the building square footage (including
garage area) exceeds 3,600 square feet in area, the minimum fire flow increases to a minimum of
1,500 gpm and requires 2 hydrants within 300 feet of the structure.
New water service stubs to each lot must be installed prior to recording of the short plat. Water
System Development Charges are based on a rate of $1,956 per new single-family lot. Payment of
fees is required prior to issuance of utility construction permit.

REPORT AND DECISION DATED March 20, 2007; PROJECT LUA-07-010, SHPL-A Page8
H. Findings:
There is an existing 8-inch sanitary sewer main adjacent and available to serve the site. Short
plats shall provide separate side sewers stubs to each building lot prior to the recording of the short
plat. No dual side sewers are allowed. Each new lot must be served with an individual side sewer
at a minimum slope of 2 percent.
Sanitary Sewer System Development Charges are based on a rate of $1,017.00 per new single-
family lot. Payment of this fee will be required prior to issuance of utility construction permit. In
addition, there are East Renton Interceptor Sanitary Sewer fees for this parcel, totaling $633.60.
Having reviewed the written record in the matter, the City now enters the following:
1. Request: The applicant has requested Administrative Short Plat Approval for the Chen Short Plat, File
No. LUA-07-010, SHPL-A.
2. Application: The applicant's short plat application complies with the requirements for information for
short plat review. The applicant's short plat plan and other project drawings are contained within the
official land use file.
3. Comprehensive Plan: The subject proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designations
of the Residential Single Family (RSF) land use designation.
4. Zoning: The proposal as presented complies with the zoning requirements and development
standards of the R-8 zoning designation, provided all advisory notes and conditions of approval are
complied with. However, the Highlands Tract restrictive covenant binds the plat to lot sizes of 6,000
square feet and a minimum width of 60 feet. All three lots do not meet the minimum lot size, but they
do meet the 60-foot width requirement. Because of the restrictive covenant, two lots is the maximum
permitted.
5. Subdivision Regulations: The proposal complies with the requirements established by the City's
Subdivision Regulations provided all advisory notes and conditions are complied with.
6. Existing Land Uses: Land uses surrounding the subject site include: North: Residential Single
Family (zoned R-8); East: Residential Single Family (zoned R-8); South: Residential Single Family
(zoned R-8) and Industrial Light (IL); and West: Residential Single Family (zoned R-8).
7. Setbacks: The setbacks for new residences in the R-8 zone would be verified at the time of building
permit review.
8. System Development Charges: A Water System Development Charge, a Surface Water System
Development Charge and a Sewer System Development Charge, at the current applicable rates, will
be required for the each new single-family residence as part of the construction permit.
9. Public Utilities: The applicant will be required to install individual sewer and water stubs to serve the
new lots. In addition, any existing and new fire hydrants must be fitted with 5" quick disconnect Storz
fittings.
I. Conclusions:
1. The subject site is located in the Residential Single Family (RSF) comprehensive plan designation and
complies with the goals and policies established with this designation.
2. The subject site is located in the R-8 zoning designation and complies with the zoning and
development standards established with this designation provided all advisory notes and conditions are
complied with. However, the proposed three lot short plat violates the Highlands Tract restrictive
covenant binding lot size to a minimum of 6,000 square feet. Because of the restrictive covenant, two
lots is the maximum permitted.
3. The proposed three lot short plat complies with the subdivision regulations as established by City Code
and state law provided all advisory notes and conditions are complied with.

PREAPP No. 06-059-Chen Short Plat-762 Monroe Ave NE
NOTE ON PRELIMINARY REVIEW COMMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT:
The following comments on development and permitting issues arc based on the pre-application
submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant. 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, Boards of Adjustment, Board of Public Works aud City Council).
Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes
required by the City or made by the applicant.
I have reviewed the preliminary application for the subject short plat. The following is general
information concerning the public utilities in the vicinity of the subdivision.
WATER
I. The modeled fire flow available at the site is over 3000 gpm. Static Water pressure is
approximately 77 psi.
2. The proposed project is located within the 565-water pressure zone.
3. If fire sprinkler systems are necessary, then a separate fire sprinkler permit will be required.
4. All new single-family construction must have a fire hydrant capable of delivering a minimum
of 1,000 gpm and must be located within 300 feet of the structures. There appears to be an
existing fire hydrant in the vicinity that meets the fire protection for this project. This would
be subject to verification. In addition, any existing sub-standard hydrants will need to be
replaced and/or retrofitted with a quick disconnect Storz fittings.
5. A Water System development Charge of$1,956.00 per new lot is payable at time of issuance
of a construction permit.
6. All short plats shall provide a separate water service to each building lot prior to recording of
the short plat.
SANITARY SEWER
I. There is an existing 8-inch sewer main in Monroe Ave NE.
2. From our records, there is an existing sewer stub to the existing home (see attached side-
sewer sketch(s)).

MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 1, 2006
TO: Pre-Application File No. 06-059
FROM: Valerie Kinast, Associate Planner, ( 425) 430-7270
SUBJECT: Chen Short Plat
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, Zoning Administrator, Public Works Administrator, 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 for purchase for $50.00 plus tax, from
the Finance Division on the first floor of City Hall.
Project Proposal: The subject property is located on the east side of Monroe Ave. NE, north of NE
7'" Place, at 762 Monroe Ave. NE. The proposal is to subdivide the lot with a total of 20,000 square
feet (0.46 acres) into two lots, for future development of an additional single-family residence. The
existing 1,460 square-foot house would be retained. The property is zoned Residential -8 dwelling
units per acre. The proposed lots are 5,020 square feet and 10,723 square feet. The houses would
share a 20-foot wide access easement for access to Monroe Ave. NE. Lot 1 would front on Monroe
Ave. NE and Lot 2 would be located at the rear of the parcel.
Zoning/Density Requirements: The subject property is located within the Residential -8 dwelling
units per acre (R-8) zoning designation. The density range required in the R-8 zone is a minimum of
4.0 to a maximum of 8.0 dwelling units per acre (dulac).
A density calculation of the two-lot Chen Short Plat was not submitted by the applicant. The net
density would be approximately 5.53 dwelling units per acre after subtracting an estimated 4,237 sq. ft.
of access easement area from the 20,000 sq. ft. gross area of the parcel. This would fall within the
permitted density range.
If the applicant is creating one small and one very large lot in consideration of future platting of the
large lot, staff would like to point out that a third lot would increase the density to 8.29 units per acre,
which would not be permissible.
Development Standards: The R-8 zone permits one residential structure/ unit per lot, detached
accessory structures are permitted at a maximum number of two per lot at 720 square feet each, or
one per lot at 1,000 square feet in size.
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth -The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 is 4,500 square feet
for lots greater than 1 acre in size and 5,000 square feet for lots 1 acre or less in size. A minimum lot
width of 50 feet for interior lots and 60 feet for corner lots, as well as a minimum lot depth of 65 feet, is
also required. The total area of the proposed subdivision is less than 1 acre; therefore the minimum
lot size is 5,000 square feet. Lot 1 is proposed at 10,723 square feet and Lot 2 is proposed at 5,020
square feet, so both would meet the minimum lot size requirement. Both lots would also meet the lot
width and depth requirements.
Building Standards The R-8 zone allows a maximum building coverage of 35% of the lot area or
2,500 square feet, whichever is greater for lots over 5,000 square feet in size. Building height is
restricted to 30 feet and 2-stories. Detached accessory structures must remain below a height of 15
Chen Short Plat Pre-Ap

ion Meeting
feet and one-story. The gross floor area must be less than that of the primary structure. Accessory
structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations. The existing house does not appear
to exceed any of these limitations.
Setbacks -Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the
property line or private access easement. The required setbacks in the R-8 zone are 15 feet in front
for the primary structure and 20 feet in front for the attached garage, 20 feet in the rear, 5 feet for
interior side yards, and 15 feet for side yards along streets (including access easements) for the
primary structure and 20 feet for side yards along streets (including access easements) for attached
garages. It appears the existing house would meet the setback requirements. The applicant included
building setback lines for Lot 2 on the submitted short plan drawing. The side and front yard
setbacks along the access easement are not shown accurately. They must be measured from
the edge of the access easement. This will decrease the size of the buildable area for Lot 2
from what it is shown as on the pre-application submittals.
The doghouse at the south lot line does not meet setback requirements. It is also an
encroachment issue. It would either need to be removed or the lot line would need to be
moved to resolve the issue prior to short plat recording.
Access/Parking: Street improvements, including curbs, gutter and sidewalks, are required along of
the frontage of properties when they are subdivided. If these are not in place they would need to be
constructed.
Both lots would access from Monroe Ave. NE via a 20-ft. wide shared access easement. Lot 1 would
front on Monroe Ave. NE and Lot 2 would be located behind Lot 1.
Each lot must allow for the parking of two vehicles on the site.
Landscaping: A 5 foot wide irrigated or drought resistant landscape strip is the minimum amount of
landscaping necessary for a site abutting a non-arterial public street. A 5-foot landscape strip will
be required in the right-of-way, where possible, and on the lots themselves where there is not
enough space for the strip in the right-of-way.
The tree requirement for short plats is at least two trees of a City approved species with a minimum
caliper of 1 1/2 inches in the front yard or planting strip on every lot. The trees must be planted prior to
building occupancy.
A Conceptual Landscape Plan, showing the two trees per lot and the plantings in the five foot
landscape strip, as defined in RMC 4-8-120D must be submitted at the time of application. A
Detailed Landscape Plan will be required at submittal for final plat review.
Critical Areas: There are no known critical areas on the site. If there is any indication of critical
areas on the site, this must be disclosed to the City prior to development and appropriate studies must
be undertaken.
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The existing development is located within the
Residential Single Family (RSF) Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation. The following proposed
policies are applicable to the proposal:
Land Use Element
Objective LU-FF: Encourage re-investment and rehabilitation of existing housing, and development
of new residential plats resulting in quality neighborhoods that:
1. Are planned at urban densities and implement Growth Management targets,
2. Promote expansion and use of public transportation; and
3. Make more efficient use of urban services and infrastructure.
06-059 Chen SHPL (R-8, 2-lot).doc
Chen Short Plat Pre-App mn Meeting
June 1, 2006
Page 3 of 3
Policy LU-147. Net development densities should fall within a range of 4.0 to 8.0 dwelling units per
acre in Residential Single Family neighborhoods.
Policy LU-148. A minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet should be allowed on in-fill parcels of less
than one acre (43,560 sq. ft.) in single-family designations. Allow a reduction on lot size to 4,500
square feet on parcels greater than one acre to create an incentive for aggregation of land. The
minimum lot size is not intended to set the standard for density in the designation, but to provide
flexibility in subdivision/plat design and facilitate development within the allowed density range.
Policy LU-149. Lot size should exclude private sidewalks, easements, private road, and driveway
easements, except alley easements.
Policy LU-150. Required setbacks should exclude public or private legal access areas, established
through or to a lot, and parking areas.
Policy LU-152. Single-family lot size, lot width, setbacks, and impervious surface should be sufficient
to allow private open space, landscaping to provide buffers/privacy without extensive fencing, and
sufficient area for maintenance activities.
Policy LU-154. Interpret development standards to support new plats and infill project designs
incorporating street locations, lot configurations, and building envelopes that address privacy and
quality of life for existing residents.
Community Design Element
Policy CD-12. Infill development, defined as new short plats of nine or fewer lots, should be
encouraged in order to add variety, updated housing stock, and new vitality to neighborhoods.
Policy CD-13. Infill development should be reflective of the existing character of established
neighborhoods even when designed using different architectural styles, and/or responding to more
urban setbacks, height or lot requirements. Infill development should draw on elements of existing
development such as placement of structures, vegetation, and location of entries and walkways, to
reflect the site planning and scale of existing areas.
Permit Requirements: Short plats are processed administratively within an estimated time frame
of 4 to 6 weeks for preliminary short plat approval. The application fee is $1,000.00. The applicant will
be required to install a public information sign on the property. Detailed information regarding the land
use application submittal is provided in the attached handouts.
Once preliminary approval is received, the applicant must complete the required improvements and
satisfy any conditions of the preliminary approval before the plat can be recorded. The newly created
lots may be sold only after the plat has been recorded.
Fees: In addition to the applicable building and construction permit fees, the following mitigation fees
would be required prior to the recording of the plat.
• A Transportation Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each new average daily
trip attributable to the project: and,
• A Fire Mitigation Fee based on $488.00 per new single-family residence.
A handout listing all of the City's Development related fees in attached for your review.
Expiration: Upon preliminary short plat approval, the preliminary short plat approval is valid for two
years with a possible one-year extension.

CHEN SHORT PLAT PROJECT NARRATIVE
The project proposes to subdivide this lot into three single-family lots through a
short plat process. The existing house and the garage will be demolished and three
new homes will be constructed. An access driveway from Monroe Ave will
provide access to the proposed lots. A sidewalk will be contracted in front of the
property along the east side of Monroe Ave NE.
1. Chen Short Plat site is located in the NW V. of SW V. of Section 9,
Township 23 N, Range 5 E, W.M., in City of Renton, Washington. The
site is located at 726 Monroe Ave NE. The entire site covers an area of
approximately 0.46 acre.
2. The required Land use permit for the proposed project is to Short Plat.
3. The property is zoned Residential -8 dwelling unites per acre (R-8).
4. The existing site consists of a single-family home, a shed. There 1s no
additional improvement on the site.
5. The subject site is not in a wetland area, along a designated stream, within
the 100-year flood plain, within an erosion hazard area, within a landslide
hazard area, within a seismic hazard area, nor a coalmine hazard area
6. Bordering properties include a single-family home to the north, south and
east; the subject property borders Monroe to the west.
The topography indicates that no offsite runoff is flowing to the property
from the adjacent properties. There is no sensitive area on the property.
The U.S. Soils Conservation Service has classified the soils as Alderwood
soils (AgC). The subject site is not in a wetland area, along a designated
stream, within the 100-ycar flood plain, within an erosion hazard area,
within a landslide hazard area, within a seismic hazard area, nor a coalmine
hazard area.
The project proposes to subdivide this lot into three single-family lots
through a short plat process. The existing house and the garage will be
demolished and three new homes will be constructed. An access driveway
from Monroe Ave will provide access to the proposed lots. A sidewalk will
be contracted in front of the property along the east side of Monroe Ave NE.
The total existing impervious surface is 4120 square feet. The proposed
access driveways will be approximately 2800 square feet of impervious
surface; the proposed house will be 4800 square feet. The net total added
impervious surface will be 2455 square feet, which falls within the limits for
Small Site Drainage Review. This project meets the small site drainage
criteria.
• Parcel smaller than 22,000 sq. ft. (19,980 sq. ft.)
• Less than 10,000 sq. ft. new impervious area (7,600 sq. ft. total,
4,120 sq. ft. net new impervious)
All stormwater flows will be tight lined to existing storm drain system on
Monroe Ave. NE. To avoid saturation of soils near the foundation of the
house, roof runoff will be tight lined via downspout to the existing storm
drain.
7. The proposal is to subdivide the existing parcel in to three Jots, for future
development of thee additional single-family residence. The existing
house and the garage will be demolished
8. The proposal is to subdivide the existing parcel in to three lots. The
proposed Lot I net area (7926 SF), the proposed Jot 2 net area (4748 SF)
and the proposed lot 3 net area(.
9. The new houses would be accessed via privet access road directly from
Monroe Ave. NE.
10. Street improvements on Monroe Ave NE: Sidewalk will be constructed
along the frontage of the parcel being developed. A 5 ft. landscape strip
would be constructed.
11. The total estimated construction cost of the off site improvement would be
$5,500.00.
12. The estimated fill quantity of the proposed project is 460 CY.
13. The project is not removing any three at this time.
14. The project is not dedicating any Right-of-way
15. No job shacks, sales trailer and model home are proposed.
16. No modification has been requested.

CHEN SHORT CONSTRUCTION MITIGATION DESCRIPTION
The project proposes to subdivide this Jot into three single-family lots through a
short plat process. The existing house and the garage will be demolished and three
new homes will be constrncted. An access driveway from Monroe Ave will
provide access to the proposed Jots. A sidewalk will be contracted in front of the
property along the east side of Monroe Ave NE.
• The proposal is to start construction in of the frontage and off site
improvement in July 2007 and end in October of2007
• The construction operation would be Monday through Friday from 7:30
am to 4:30 pm.
• The estimated fill quantity of the proposed project 1s 460 CY.
Haul/transportation rout has not been determined. The contractor
would be required to submit the haul rout to the city for approval.
• It is not anticipated that this project would not generate dust, mud,
noise and erosion. Pacific measures have not been considered. If
BMP,s are required the project would implement the appropriate
BMP,s.
• Night or Weekend construction or hauling work is not proposed.
• Work on City Street is not anticipated.

As requested, PanGEO Inc. completed a geotechnical engineering study for the above parcel.
Our geotechnical engineering study was performed in general accordance with our proposal
dated June 13, 2006, which was subsequently authorized by you on July 7, 2006. In summary,
our service scope included reviewing readily available geologic data, performing a
reconnaissance of the parcel, excavating two exploratory test pits at the site, and developing the
conclusions and recommendations summarized herein.
SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Your property is located at 762 Monroe Avenue Northeast in the City of Renton, Washington
(see Figure 1 ). As indicated on the Site and Exploration Plan (Figure 2), the property is
approximately 20,000 square feet in size. It measures about 200 feet east-west and 100 feet
north-south. An existing house currently occupies the approximate west half of your property.
We understand that you plan to subdivide the property into two lots for construction of a new
single family residence on Lot 2 (see Figure 2).
The new Lot 2 will be rectangular in shape and measures about 51 feet east-west and 100 feet
north-south, and occupies the eastern V. of your property. Access to Lot 2 will be through a
proposed 20-foot-wide driveway easement along the north margin of the property. We
understand that an at-grade single-family residential structure with a building footprint of about
1,400 square feet will be constructed on Lot 2. We also understand that the existing residence on
Lot I (west of Lot 2) will remain, and our geotechnical engineering evaluation is limited to Lot
2.
. __ \\ \ ,:·>. Ir,
Geotechnical Report
762 Monroe Avenue, Renton, WA
August 28, 2006
The project site (Lot 2) is essentially level, with less than about 4 feet of topographic relief
between the west lot line and the northeast lot comer. An approximately 4-foot-high ecology
block wall retains fill soils to the north for the back yards of the adjacent residences along the
north margin of the subject parcel. The site is vegetated with grass with several fir trees (22-to
40-inch diameter) dotting the site.
Based on our review of the King County Sensitive Areas Ordinance, the property is not located
within a mapped sensitive area.
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATIONS
TEST PIT EXCAVATION
Two test pits (TP-1 and TP-2) were excavated at the site on July 20, 2006, to explore the
subsurface conditions. The test pits were excavated to depths ranging between 7Y, and 8\1, feet
with a rubber-tired backhoe owned and operated by Northwest Excavating & Trucking Co., Inc.,
in Mill Creek, Washington. The backhoe was equipped with a 30-inch-wide bucket.
Representative soil samples were obtained from the test pits. The density and consistency of the
subsurface soils was estimated by probing the soil with a Yi-inch-diameter steel T-probe and by
the difficulty of excavation. Each test pit location was subsequently taped from existing site
features and the approximate test pit locations are indicated on Figure 2.
A geologist from PanGEO was present during the field exploration program to observe the test
pit excavation, collect soil samples, and to describe and document the soil samples obtained from
the test pits. The soil samples were described using the system outlined on Figure A-1 in
Appendix A. The summary test pit logs are also included in the Appendix A, following Figure
A-1. Once the subsurface conditions in the test pits were documented, the test pits were
backfilled immediately with the excavated soils.
LABORATORY TESTING
Two representative soil samples (3 feet in TP-1 and at 4Y, feet in TP-2) were selected for sieve
analysis to determine their grain size characteristics. The tests were completed by Analytical
Resources, Inc. of Seattle in general accordance with the ASTM D 422, Standard Test Method
for Particle-Size Analyses of Soils. The test results are presented in Appendix B.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Based on our review of the Preliminary Geologic Map of Seattle and Vicinity, Washington
(Waldron, et al., 1962) and the Geologic Map of the Renton Quadrangle, King County,
Washington (Mullineaux, 1965), your property is underlain by Quaternary Vashon Glacial Till.
06-113 Report.doc 2 PanGEO, Inc.
Geotechnical Report
762 Monroe Avenue, Renton, WA
August 28, 2006
In general, glacial till is a poorly drained, heterogeneous mixture of silt, sand and gravel. The
Vashon glacial till has been overridden by glacial ice and is very dense.
In summary, the soils observed in the test pits confirm the presence of Vashon glacial till
underlying approximately 3 feet of colluvium/disturbed soil. The following is a description of
the soils encountered in the test pits:
UNIT 1: Colluvium!Disturbed Soil -Approximately 3 feet of colluvium or disturbed soils
were encountered in the test pits. This unit generally consists of loose to medium dense,
brown and red-brown, slightly gravelly to gravelly, silty sand. Abundant roots and iron-
oxide-staining was observed within this unit. In our opinion this unit is not suitable for
supporting structural elements.
UNIT 1: Vashon Glacial Till-Dense to very dense, gray, slightly silty to silty, gravelly
sand was encountered in both of the test pits, directly below Unit 1. We interpret this unit
as the Vashon Glacial Till as shown on the reviewed geologic maps. The till observed in
the test pits is massive with a very compact, friable texture below a depth of 5 feet. Several
3-to 5-inch diameter roots were observed to a depth of 5 feet below ground surface. This
unit is anticipated to exhibit relatively low compressibility characteristics, and is
considered adequate for supporting conventional footings if free of roots and organics.
Based on the grain size analysis, this unit is relatively free of fines (i.e. less than 15 percent
fines).
Groundwater was not encountered in the test pits to the maximum depth excavated at about 8V,
feet. Evidence of perched groundwater was observed in both test pits in the form of red-brown
iron-oxide staining between depths of I Y, and 3 feet. It should be noted that groundwater
elevations are likely to vary depending on the season, local subsurface conditions, and other
factors. Groundwater levels are normally highest during the winter and early spring.
GEOTECHNlCAL RECOMMENDATIONS
INFILTRATION RATE OF ON-SITE SOILS
We understand that your designer is considering the option of on-site disposal of surface water
by infiltration. The test pits excavated at the site encountered dense to very dense, weakly
cemented glacial till at a shallow depth of about 3 feet. Although the glacial till is quite sandy
and contains less than about 15 percent fines, we consider the infiltration rate of the glacial till to
be negligible based on its density and soil texture. Therefore, it is our opinion that on-site
disposal of surface by infiltration is not practical at this site. Other alternatives such as detention
should be considered.

SEISMIC DESIGN PARAMETERS
We anticipate that the seismic design of the proposed structure may be accomplished using the
2003 International Building Code (IBC), which specifies a design earthquake having a 2%
probability of occurrence in 50 years (return interval of 2,475 years). The following parameters,
which are consistent with the 2002 USGS seismic hazard maps, are recommended for the
seismic design:

HOUSE FOUNDATION AND DESIGN PARAMETERS
Based on the subsurface conditions encountered in the test pits, it is our opinion that
conventional spread footings are suitable for the proposed single family residence. Footing
design parameters are outlined below:
Allowable Bearing Pressure -We recommend that all footings be founded below Soil Unit
1, and on native, dense to very dense glacial till soils (Unit 2). The depth to the competent
soil unit 2 was approximately 3 feet below the existing ground surface in our test pits. As a
result, depending on the design elevation, some overexcavation may be required. The
overexcavation may be backfilled with properly compacted structural fill, lean-mix concrete
or Control Density Fill (CDF). Footings constructed as discussed above may be sized using
a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 3,000 psf. For allowable stress design, the
recommended allowable bearing pressure may be increased by 1/3 for transient loading
conditions such as wind and earthquake. All footings should be founded at least 18 inches
below the finished grade and at least 18 inches wide.
All footing excavations should be trimmed neat and footing subgrades should be carefully
prepared. Any loose or softened soil should be removed from the footing excavation,
including nominally compacted test pit backfill, if one of the two pits should be located
below a proposed footing. Footing excavations should be observed by PanGEO to confirm
that the exposed footing subgrade is consistent with the expected conditions and adequate to
support the proposed building. The depth of overexcavation, if needed, is also expected to

Geotechnical Report
762 Monroe Avenue, Renton, WA
August 28, 2006
vary, but should not exceed 3 feet. We recommend that footing over-excavations, if needed,
be backfilled with structural fill.
Total and differential settlements are anticipated to be within tolerable limits for footings
designed and constructed as discussed above. Under static loads, we anticipate the footings
to settle less than about Y, inch and differential settlement should be less than about Y. inch.
Lateral Resistance -Lateral forces from wind or seismic loading may be resisted by the
combination of passive earth pressures acting against the embedded portions of the
foundations and by friction acting on the base of the foundations. Passive resistance values
may be determined using an equivalent fluid weight of 300 pounds per cubic foot (pct).
This value includes a safety factor of about 1.5 assuming that properly compacted granular
fill will be placed adjacent to and surrounding the footings. A frictional coefficient of 0.45
may be used to determine the frictional resistance at the base of the footings. This
coefficient includes a factor safety of approximate 1.5.
Footing Drain -We recommend that footing drains be incorporated into the design and
construction of the project. The footing drain should consist of a 4-inch diameter perforated
drainpipe behind and at the base of the perimeter wall footings, embedded in at least 12
inches of clean, free-draining sand and gravel. The drainpipe should be graded to a suitable
outlet to direct water away from the buildings.
CONCRETE SLAB ON GRADE FLOORS
It is our opinion that the concrete slab on-grade floors are appropriate for the site. We
recommend that all disturbed soils, including Unit 1 soil and roots in the Unit 2 soils, be
removed from within the footprint of the structure, and replaced with structural fill. In addition,
we also recommend that interior concrete slab on grade floors be underlain by a capillary break
consisting of at least of 4 inches of %-inch, clean crushed rock (less than 3 percent fines), pea
gravel, or other approved materials, compacted to a firm and unyielding condition. The capillary
break should be placed on subgrade that has been compacted to a dense and unyielding
condition. A I 0-mil polyethylene vapor barrier should also be placed directly below the slab.
We also recommend that construction joints be incorporated into the floor slab to control
cracking.
STRUCTURAL FILL AND COMPACTION
Structural fill is defined as compacted fiJI placed under buildings, roadways, slabs, pavements, or
other load-bearing areas. Based on our understanding of the project, we do not anticipate the
need for large quantities of structural fill. However, where needed, structural fill should be
moisture conditioned to within about 3 percent of optimum moisture content, placed in loose,
06-113 Report.doc 5 PanGEO, Inc.
Geotechnical Report
762 Momoe Avenue, Renton, WA
August 28, 2006
horizontal lifts less than 8 inches in thickness, and systematically compacted to a dense and
relatively unyielding condition and to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density, as
determined using test method ASTM D 1557.
In our opinion, the on-site soils may be reused as a source of structural fill during the dry season.
If use of the existing soils is planned, the excavated soil should be stockpiled and protected witb
plastic sheeting to prevent softening from rainfall. If the on-site soils cannot be adequately
compacted, imported structural fills, such as City of Seattle Type 17 materials or Gravel Borrow
(WSDOT 9-03.14(1), should be used. Recycled concrete may also be used as structural fill in
lieu of natural aggregates.
WET WEATHER EARTHWORK
Portions of the surficial site soils contain a significant percentage of fines, and are considered to
be moisture sensitive. Any subgrade soils that become softened either by disturbance or rainfall
should be removed and replaced with properly compacted granular structural fill. General
recommendations relative to earthwork performed in wet conditions are presented below:
• Site stripping, excavation and subgrade preparation should be followed promptly by
the placement and compaction of clean structural fill, capillary break material or base
course material.
• Footing subgrades must be protected from softening from rainfall.
• The size and type of construction equipment used may have to be limited to prevent
soil disturbance.
• During wet weather, the allowable fines content (material by weight passing the #200
sieve) of the structural fill should be reduced to no more than 5 percent, based on the
portion passing %-inch sieve. The fines should be non-plastic.
• The ground surface within the construction area should be graded to promote run-off
of surface water and to prevent the ponding of water.
• Bales of straw and/or geotextile silt fences should be strategically located to control
erosion and the movement of soil.
SURFACE DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONSIDERATIONS
Surface runoff can be controlled during construction by careful grading practices. Typically, this
includes the construction of shallow, upgrade perimeter ditches or low earthen berms to collect
runoff and prevent water from entering the excavation. All collected water should be directed
under control to a positive and permanent discharge system such as a storm sewer.
06-113 Report.doc 6 PanGEO, Inc.
Geotechnical Report
762 Monroe Avenue, Renton, WA
August 28, 2006
Permanent control of surface water should be incorporated in the final grading design. Adequate
surface gradients and drainage systems should be incorporated into the design such that surface
runoff is directed away from structures and top of slopes. Potential problems associated with
erosion may also be reduced by establishing vegetation within disturbed areas immediately
following grading operations. Vegetation with deep penetrating roots is the preferred choice,
since the roots tend to maintain the surficial stability of slopes by mechanical effects and
contribute to the drying of slopes by evapo-transpiration.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
To confirm that our recommendations are properly incorporated into the design and construction
of the proposed construction, PanGEO should be retained to conduct a review of the final project
plans and specifications, and to monitor the construction of geotechnical elements. King County,
as part of the permitting process, may also require geotechnical construction inspection services.
PanGEO can provide you a cost estimate for construction monitoring services on a later date.
We anticipate that the following additional services will be required:
• Review final project plans and specifications
• Monitor erosion control
• Observe footing subgrade
• Verify structural fill placement
• Verify subsurface drainage installation if appropriate
• Other consultation as may be required during construction
Modifications to our recommendations presented in this report may be necessary, based on the
actual conditions encountered during construction.
CLOSURE
We have prepared this report for use by the project team. Recommendations contained in this
report are based on a site reconnaissance, a subsurface exploration program, review of pertinent
subsurface information, and our understanding of the project. The study was performed using a
mutually agreed-upon scope of work.
Variations in soil conditions may exist at locations away from the explorations and the actual
conditions underlying the site. The nature and extent of soil variations may not be evident until
construction occurs. If any soil conditions are encountered at the site that are different from
those described in this report, we should be notified immediately to review the applicability of
our recommendations. Additionally, we should also be notified to review the applicability of our
recommendations if there are any changes in the project scope.
