this is not imminent as there are no petitions yet.

11. Will the open space be permanent?
Response: Yes, open space will be set aside in tracts.

both are added to the list for the formal plat submittal.
13. What is the lump vs. the cul-de-sac?
Response: The “lump” is an easement for a temporary cul-de-sac bulb.
14. Is this a cluster and what does that mean?
Response: Clustering is not being proposed at this time as it has been eliminated from City
code.
Response (by Matthew Herrera, City of Renton): Clustering means that smaller lots are
allowed instead to get more density up to the maximum allowed density for the zone.
15. Will home gutters be tightlined or drain free onto lots?
Response: All gutters, roof drains, and footing drains will be tightlined to the project’s drainage
system.

properties.

proposed, consistent with City code.
