Public Approvals.
DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: January 13, 2017
LAND USE NUMBER: LUA16-000977, ECF, SM
PROJECT NAME: Sediment Deposition Mitigation
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting approval of a Shoreline Substantial Development
Permit, a Hearing Examiner Special Fill and Grade Permit and Environmental (SEPA) Review to continue periodic
dredging of Lake Washington in the vicinity of the May Creek Delta as a result of soil and sediment accumulation. In
recent history, the area was dredged in 1994, 1997, 2001/2002, and 2011. The proposed dredging project is estimated
to be required every 3-5 years in order to maintain and preserve navigational access to the boathouse, shared use dock,
and recreational access to Lake Washington for four (4) single-family residences (Lake Houses at Eagle Cove).
Approximately 2,500 to 4,000 CY would be dredged during each dredging event. The proposed project site is located
from 3905 Lake Washington Blvd N to the boat house just north of 3979 Lake Washington Blvd N (APN's 3342700011, -
0009, -0007, -0005, and 0518501150) in Renton, WA. Within Lake Washington, dredging work may also spill over onto
the May Creek Delta parcel (APN 0518500000), located just north of the project site. The parcels are zoned Residential-6
(R-6) and Residential-10 (R-10). The dredging and mitigation work is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2017.
PROJECT LOCATION: 3905-3979 Lake Washington Blvd N
OPTIONAL DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE, MITIGATED (DNS-M): As the Lead Agency, the City of Renton has

permitted under the RCW 43.21C.110, the City of Renton is using the Optional DNS-M process to give notice that a
DNS-M is likely to be issued. Comment periods for the project and the proposed DNS-M are integrated into a single

Significance-Mitigated (DNS-M). This may be the only opportunity to comment on the environmental impacts of the
proposal. A 14-day appeal period will follow the issuance of the DNS-M.
