DATE: May 23, 2024
TO: Pre-Application File No. PRE24-000138
FROM: Mariah Kerrihard, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Littleman Boathouse Roof Repair
3805 Lake Washington Blvd N (APN 3342700176)
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, Community & Economic Development Administrator, Public
Works Administrator, Planning Director, Development Services Director, Development
Engineering Director, 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 online at https://www.codepublishing.com/WA/Renton.
Project Proposal: The proposed project is to replace an existing boat house aluminum roof at
3805 Lake Washington Blvd N (APN 3342700176). The project site is located within the
Residential-6 (R-6) zone. The project site is located along the shoreline of Lake Washington. There
is an existing dock and boathouse on the project site. No dredging, fill, or excavation will be done
for this project. The project site is located in Lake Washington, a Shoreline of the state, and is
subject to the requirements of the Shoreline Management Act and Shoreline Master Program. In
addition, the project site is within Lake Washington Reach D and Shoreline Aquatic Designation.
The project site is mapped with a high landslide hazard and regulated slopes (>15% & <= 25%).
Current Use: An existing single-family residence and multiple associated accessory structures on
the site are proposed to remain. The project site totals approximately 13,407 square feet (0.31
acres) in area.
1. Zoning /Land Use Designation, and Overlays: The site has a Comprehensive Plan Land Use of
Designation of Residential Medium Density and a zoning designation of Residential-6 (R-6)
dwelling units per acre. The Residential-6 Zone (R-6) is established for single family dwellings
and is intended to implement the Residential Medium Density Comprehensive Plan
designation. The R-6 zone allows a range of three (3) to six (6) dwelling units per net acre.
Development in the R-6 zone is intended to be single family residential at moderate density.
Detached dwellings are permitted in the R-6 zone.

Applications\2024\PRE24-000138
2. Shoreline Master Program: The project site is located within Lake Washington and would be
subject to the requirements of the Aquatic Designation. Boat houses are prohibited within
the Aquatic Designation. According to the applicant, the proposed physical structure of the
boat house, pilings, walkway, and support beams are solid. A new flat aluminum roof is
being proposed as the current roof is deteriorating along some edges and would likely be
pulled up in a windstorm. Shoreline use and development shall be carried out in a manner
that prevents or mitigates adverse impacts to ensure no net loss of ecological functions and
processes in all development and use. Covered moorage is not allowed on any moorage
facility unless translucent materials are used that allow light penetration through the
canopy, or through the roof of legal, pre-existing boat houses. Replacement or repair of the
boat house roof is not anticipated to result in an increase in overwater coverage. A lake
study would be required to be submitted at the time of formal land use application
demonstrating that the proposed roof replacement would not result in a net loss of
ecological functions.
3. Critical Areas: The site is located within 200 feet of Lake Washington, a Shoreline of the State.
The shoreline designation for this location is Shoreline Aquatic and the reach is Lake
Washington Reach D. Due to the presence of geological hazards, a geotechnical study may
be required at the time of building permit application. The study shall specifically address if
the proposal will not increase the threat of the geological hazard to adjacent or abutting
properties beyond pre-development conditions; and the proposal will not adversely impact
other critical areas; and the development can be safely accommodated on the site. It is the
applicant’s responsibility to determine whether any other critical areas are present on the
site prior to formal land use application.
4. Environmental Review: Per WAC 197-11-088, the following activities shall be categorically
exempt from Environmental (SEPA) Review: The repair, remodeling, maintenance, or minor
alteration of existing private or public structures, facilities or equipment, including utilities,
recreation, and transportation facilities involving no material expansions or changes in use
beyond that previously existing; except that, where undertaken wholly or in part on lands
covered by water, only minor repair or replacement of structures may be exempt (examples
include repair or replacement of piling, ramps, floats, or mooring buoys, or minor repair,
alteration, or maintenance of docks). Roof replacement to an existing boat house without
expansion, located on lands covered by water, would be exempt from Environmental (SEPA)
Review.
5. Shoreline Permit Requirements: Per WAC 173-27-40 of the Shoreline Management Act,
normal maintenance or repair of existing structures or developments, including damage by
accident, fire or elements. "Normal maintenance" includes those usual acts to prevent a
decline, lapse, or cessation from a lawfully established condition. "Normal repair" means to
restore a development to a state comparable to its original condition, including but not
limited to its size, shape, configuration, location and external appearance, within a reasonable
period after decay or partial destruction, except where repair causes substantial adverse
effects to shoreline resource or environment. Replacement of a structure or development
may be authorized as repair where such replacement is the common method of repair for the
type of structure or development and the replacement structure or development is
comparable to the original structure or development including but not limited to its size,
shape, configuration, location and external appearance and the replacement does not cause

Applications\2024\PRE24-000138
substantial adverse effects to shoreline resources or environment. Replacement of the boat
house roof without expansion would be subject to a Shoreline Exemption.
6. Permit Requirements: The proposal would require a Shoreline Substantial Exemption Permit.
The Administrator will review your request for a shoreline exemption and issue a written
decision typically within a week or two from submittal. Shoreline Exemptions are not subject
to any application fees. All fees are subject to change. Detailed information regarding the land
use application submittal can be found on the City’s website by clicking “Land Use
Applications” on the Community & Economic Development page, then “All Forms (A to Z).”
The City requires electronic plan submittal for all applications.
In addition to the required land use permits, separate construction and building permits may
be required.
7. Waivers of Submittal Requirements: The submittal checklist is not an exhaustive list of
submittal requirements and may be modified in cases where additional information is
required to complete the review of an application. In addition, non-applicable submittal
requirements may be waived. The applicant should contact the assigned Project Manager if
there are any questions regarding submittal requirements.
8. Next Steps: When the formal application materials are complete, the applicant shall have the
materials pre-screened prior to submitting the complete application package. Please contact
Mariah Kerrihard, Assistant Planner, at 425-430-7238 or mkerrihard@rentonwa.gov to
submit prescreen materials and subsequent land use application.
9. Expiration: Shoreline Exemption is valid for two (2) years of the date of approval. It is the
applicant’s responsibility to monitor the expiration dates.
