B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
The property located at 3415 Burnett Avenue North (APN 3342100010) is currently being
developed with a single-family residence on the 3,537 square foot parcel in the Residential — 8
dwelling unit per acre zone (Exhibits 1 and 2). The house under construction is of contemporary
design (Exhibit 6). Because specific design standards for garages, facade modulation, roofs, and
architectural detailing were not met, the applicant applied for modifications from these standards.
It was determined that the requested modifications satisfied the intent of the guidelines of the
Residential Design and Open Space Standards (RMC 4-2-115) and, therefore, the modifications
were approved on February 8, 2011 (LUA11-003, MOD). Subsequent to the approval of the
residential design standard modifications, the applicant received a building permit (CP10191)
authorizing construction of the single-family residence.
At the time of approval of the residential design standards modifications and the building permit
approval, the applicant anticipated the construction of two uncovered decks with connecting steps
within the required 20 -foot rear yard setback of the property. The decks would encroach up to 16
feet into the rear yard setback. Uncovered decks and steps not exceeding 18 inches in height are
allowed within the rear yard setback. However, the proposed decks are both approximately 48
inches in height and require an Administrative Variance from the provisions of RMC 4-2-110A and
RMC 4-2-110D.4.c.

Report of September 7, 2011 Page 3 of 7
D. FINDINGS:
Having reviewed the written record in the matter, the City now makes and enters the following:
1. Request:
a) The subject site is located at 3415 Burnett Avenue North.
b) The contemporary -style house is currently under construction and conforms to setback
requirements in the R-8 zone.
c) The single-family house received approval of residential design standards modifications
for the garage, fagade modulation, roof, and architectural detailing (LUA11-003, MOD)
and an approved building permit (CP10191).
d) The applicant has requested approval of an administrative variance from RMC 4-2-110A
and RMC4-2-110D.4.c for two uncovered decks with connecting steps which would be
approximately 48 -inches in height and encroach into the rear yard setback up to 16
feet. (Exhibit 3). RMC 4-2-110A specifies that the rear yard setback in the R-8 zone is 20
feet. RMC 4-2-110D.4.c specifies that uncovered steps and decks within rear yard
setbacks may not exceed 18 inches in height.
2. Administrative Variance: The applicant's administrative variance submittal materials comply
with the requirements necessary to process a variance request. The applicant's site plan and
other drawings are provided as Exhibits 1 through 6.
3. Existing Land Use: North — Parking lot and single-family residences (R-8 zoning);
South — Single-family residences (R-8 zoning);
East — Single-family residences (R-8 zoning); and
West — Lake Washington Boulevard North, single-family residences (R-8
zoning), Kennydale Beach Park, and Lake Washington.
4. Zoning: The subject property is zoned Residential — 8 dwelling units per acre (R-8).
5. Topography: The property slopes downward from Burnett Avenue North on the east to Lake
Washington Boulevard North on the west.
6. Lots and Building Size: The total area of the lot is 3,537 square feet. The area of the two
proposed decks would be 459 square feet (one at 275 square feet and the other at 184 square
feet).
E. CONSISTENCY WITH VARIANCE CRITERIA:
Section 4-9-250B.5.a. lists 4 criteria that the Planning Director is asked to consider, along with all
other relevant information, in making a decision on an Administrative Variance application. These
include the following:
The Planning Director shall have authority to grant an administrative variance upon making a
determination, in writing, that the conditions specified below have been found to exist:
Norton Variance Rept.doc
City of Renton Department of Commui Economic Development
NORTON RESIDENCE SETBACK VARIAAftc
Report of September 7, 2011
'ministrative Variance Report & Decision
LUAII-062, V-A
Page 4of7
a. That the applicant suffers undue hardship and the variance is necessary because of special
circumstances applicable to subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings of the subject property, and the strict application of the Zoning Code is found
to deprive subject property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by other property owners
in the vicinity and under identical zone classification:
The applicant contends that special circumstances apply to the subject site as a result of its
small size (3,537 square feet) and the fact that most of the property slopes downward from
east to west toward lake Washington Boulevard North. The single-family residence which is
currently under construction was designed with the constraints of small lot size and slope as
key factors.
Staff concurs with the applicant that special circumstances apply to the subject property in
that it is small in size and is relatively steeply sloped (up to 40 percent). In order to
accommodate the slope of the site and to provide for outdoor yard area, the construction of
the two proposed decks and connecting steps would be higher than 18 inches. While the
decks and steps would be higher than the 18 inches allowed, because of the sloping nature of
the site, the decks would appear as integral parts of the house (Exhibit 5). Similar proposals
with similar physical constraints on other identically zoned properties in the vicinity would
likely be granted.
b. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which subject property
is situated:
The applicant contends that the proposed decks would not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which
the property is situated. The west side of the house under construction is 20 feet from the
rear property line and complies with the rear yard setback requirement of the R-8 zone.
Uncovered steps and decks not exceeding 18 inches in height are permitted within rear yard
setback areas. The proposed decks would be as high as 48 inches and would, therefore, not be
in conformance with the rear yard setback requirement. At the closest point the decks would
be approximately 4 feet from the rear property line.
Other decks associated with single-family houses are located in the immediate vicinity of the
proposal. Most notable is a deck on the west side of the residence immediately to the south
(3407 Burnett Avenue North) which is situated to take advantage of the views of Lake
Washington.
Staff review of the aerial photo of the surrounding neighborhood (Exhibit 1), the project
rendering (Exhibit 5), and a site visit indicate that the proposed decks in the rear yard of the
subject site will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to.the property
or improvements in the vicinity and zone. The downward slope of the site from east to west
would place the proposed decks below the height of a deck on the abutting property to the
south (3407 Burnett Avenue North). The proposed location of these decks would offer the
applicant views to the west toward Lake Washington and would not affect the similar views
from abutting and adjacent properties. Views of the underside of the decks from the west
would be minimized by landscaping and they would also appear to be integrated into the
contemporary design of the house which is stepped into the slope of the property.

City of Renton Department of Commui Economic Development 'ministrative Variance Report & Decision
NORTON RESIDENCE SETBACK VARIAN.. LUA11-062, V-A
Report of September 7, 2011 Page 5 of 7
c. That approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation
upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is
situated:
The applicant contends that the proposed decks would not constitute a grant of special
privilege because other decks associated with single-family houses exist in the vicinity. Such
decks on the west sides of abutting and adjacent houses take advantage of the views toward
Lake Washington.
Because other houses in the vicinity of the subject property have west -facing decks and
because the proposed decks will not disrupt any views to the west, staff believes that approval
of the variance would not constitute a grant of special privilege.
d. That the approval as determined by the Planning Director is a minimum variance that will
accomplish the desired purpose:
The applicant contends that the request for two decks and connecting steps, which would have
a maximum height of 48 inches and would encroach into the rear yard setback up to 16 feet,
would be the minimum variance needed to accomplish the goal of providing outdoor space
integral to the design of the house under construction.
Staff agrees with the applicant and supports the variance for deck height greater than 18
inches within the rear yard setback. The requested variance would accomplish the applicant's
goal of constructing two decks within the rear yard setback in order to provide a minimum
amount of outdoor space which is integral to the house under construction and provide views
to the west (Exhibit 4). The rear yard for a typical lot in the R-8 zone would be 1,000 square
feet (based on a minimum lot width of 50 feet and a rear yard setback of 20 feet). The
proposed decks would be a total of 459 square feet which is less than 50 percent of a standard
rear yard in the R-8 zone. Therefore, the requested variance is the minimum that will provide
a usable rear yard on a small sloped lot through the use of decks.
F. CONCLUSIONS:
1. Zoning: The proposal would meet the development standards of the R-8 Zone with the
exception of the uncovered decks and step height within the rear yard setback.
2. Administrative Variance: The applicant's proposal for two decks with height greater than 18
inches in the rear yard setback meets the four criteria specified in RMC 4-9-250B.5: (a) The
applicant suffers an undue hardship and the variance is necessary because of special
circumstances that apply to the property; (b) The granting of the variance would not be
materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in
the surrounding area; (c) The approval is not a grant of special privilege; and, (d) The approval
of the variance is the minimum to accomplish the desired purpose.
3. Existing Surrounding Land Uses: The proposal will not result in changes to existing land uses
which are single-family homes, a parking lot, and a public beach park. Other houses in the
surrounding area have west -facing decks.
4. Topography: The project contains steep slopes which are up to 40 percent; however, no
extensive grading is proposed. The decks would be self-supporting on pin piles and grade
beams.

Report of September 7, 2011 Page 6 of 7
5. Building Proposal: The proposal would result in the construction of two decks which would be
a maximum of 48 inches in height within the rear yard setback and would be compatible with
other similarly developed property in the surrounding neighborhood. The decks would be
integral to the single-family house which would provide outdoor space and west -facing views.
6. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested variance from RMC 4-2-110A
and RMC 4-2-110D.4.c to allow two decks which would be a maximum of 48 inches in height
within the 20 -foot rear yard setback.

The administrative land use decision will become final if the decision is not appealed within 14days of
the effective date of decision.
APPEAL: This administrative land use decision will become final if not appealed in writing to the
Hearing Examiner on or before 5:00 PM on September 21, 2011. An appeal of the decision must be
filed within the 14 -day appeal period (RCW 43.21.C.075(3); WAC 197-11-680]. Appeals to the
Examiner are governed by City of Renton Municipal Code Section 4-8-110. Additional information

City of Renton Department of Commur Economic Development ministrative Variance Report & Decision
NORTON RESIDENCE SETBACK VARIANtG LUA11-062, V-A
Report of September 7, 2011 Page 7 of 7
regarding the appeal process may be obtained from the Renton City Clerk's office, Renton City Hall —
7th Floor, (425) 430-6510. Appeals must be filed in writing, together with the required fee to the
Hearing Examiner, City of Renton, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057.
RECONSIDERATION: Within 14 days of the effective date of decision, any party may request that the
decision be reopened by the approval body. The approval body may modify his decision if material
evidence not readily discoverable prior to the original decision is found or if he finds there was
misrepresentation of fact. After review of the reconsideration request, if the approval body finds
sufficient evidence to amend the original decision, there will be no further extension of the appeal
period. Any person wishing to take further action must file a formal appeal within the 14 -day appeal
time frame.
EXPIRATION: The variance(s) approval will expire two (2) years from the date of decision. A variance
one (1) year extension may be requested pursuant to RMC 4-9-2508.17.
THE APPEARANCE OF FAIRNESS DOCTRINE: provides that no ex parte (private one-on-one)
communications may occur concerning the land use decision. The Doctrine applies not only to the
initial decision, but to Appeals to the Hearing Examiner as well. All communications after the
decision/approval date must be made in writing through the Hearing Examiner. All communications
are public record and this permits all interested parties to know the contents of the communication
and would allow them to openly rebut the evidence in writing. Any violation of this doctrine could
result in the invalidation of the appeal by the Court.

re: Norton Residence Setback Variances
25. July 2011
Project Narrative:
Norton Residence, 3415 Burnett Avenue North, variance for setback encroachments. Zoning is
R-8, single family residence under construction. Site is small (total area is 3537 sq.ft.) and steep
with few flat areas.
The Norton family proposes to construct two small decks with a maximum height of 48" above
grade within the setback area of their property. The wooden decks (275 sq.ft. and 184 sq.ft,) are
terraced to better integrate the house with the west facing yard facing Lake Washington
Boulevard. No trees or significant landscaping will be removed. Foundation and footings are
designed to be self-supporting (pin pile and grade beam) in order to minimize site disturbance
and not add extra loads to the existing rockery. The decks and their railingffence will be
landscaped to integrate well with the surrounding vegetation.
Justification:
Given the small site and its steep slope there are few alternatives to placing patios or decks, at
least in part, within the setback area. The proposed decks are modest in size and well integrated
with the neighboring vegetation. Views of the underside of the deck will be minimized by
plantings. Their height is kept to the minimum needed to allow for wood frame construction
without destructive excavation. Neither neighbors, park users, nor the public, passing along Lake
Washington Boulevard will be impacted by the minimal extra height.
Sincerely.
Daniel Stettler
