Grady Way Renton, W A 98057 Dear: Chip Vincent CED Administrator & Kris Sorensen Associate Planner: America Classic Homes has been building homes in the Renton area for a number years. With each of our commuuities we strive to build a quality product that not only enhances the lives of our buyers but beautifies the Renton Community. I am submitting a modification request for the 4-2-115 Residential Design The guidelines for 4-2-115 states, "The visual impact of garages shall be minimized, while porches and front doors shall be the emphasis of the front of the home. Garages shall be located in a manner that minimizes the presence of the garage and shall not be located at the end of view corridors. Alleyway access is encouraged. Ifused, shared garages shall be within an acceptable walking distance to the housing unit it is intended to serve." We are requesting the following guideline be modified; 1. Garage recessed from the front of the house and/or front porch at least eight feet (8'). We believe our request for the code modification is justified based on the following reasons: I. All of our plans submitted moving forward will have a 3'd car garage that is recessed two feet (2'). 2. As the plan is shown now we provide pop outs, larger than average windows and unique roof lines to provide additional curb appeal. 3. We have built this home in The City of Sammamish for $650,000.00 over the last 24 months in the community "The Crossings." Included are 8.5"xl 1" elevation and floor plans for the "Madrona" Lot 6 6516 I" Street Renton W A 98059 has been submitted under building permit BI3003839, "Madrona" Lot 14 6619 I" Street Renton WA 98059 has been submitted under building permit B13002788 the "Broadway" Lot 7 6510 I" Street Renton WA 98059 under building permit B 13003840 and the "Cambridge" Lot 8 6504 1 st Street Renton WA 98059 under building permit B13003841.
