PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND
Environmental Review Committee Report
Page 2 of 6
The applicant is requesting Administrative Site Plan Review, Administrative Conditional Use Permit, and
Environmental Review for a proposed new 8,261 square foot building to accommodate a new vehicle service and
repair business. Site improvements associated with the new building include the removal of the existing restaurant
building, surface parking for 24 spaces, stormwater treatment and detention facility, and new landscaping. The
applicant has also requested four code modifications that include waiving the construction of frontage
improvements along 108'h Ave SE and 109th Ave SE (two separate modifications), reducing the minimum 15-foot
vertical clearance height for the refuse and recycling enclosure gate opening, and reducing the minimum 45-foot of
clear maneuvering area in front of the ground level loading door.
The subject property is located at 17808 108'h Ave SE (King County Assessor Parcel Number 322305-9104) in a
portion of the NE X of Section 32, Township 23 North., Range 5 East, W.M. King County, Washington (Exhibits 2 and
3). The subject property is within the Commercial and Mixed Use land use designation and Commercial Arterial
zone. The property contains an existing 2,200 square foot fast food restaurant building with 44 surface parking
spaces, drive-through lane, perimeter and internal landscaping with 26 total trees (17 significant trees). The subject
property contains 132 linear feet of frontage (width) along 1081h Ave SE and 109th Ave SE and approximately 289
linear feet of depth along the interior lot lines. The 108'h Ave SE frontage contains curb, gutter, and 5-foot sidewalk.
The 109•h Ave SE frontage contains asphalt paving only. The site is surrounded by commercial and single-family
residential uses.

D. Environmental Impacts
The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Deportments and Divisions to determine whether the
applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction
with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following
probable impacts:
1. Earth
Impacts: The applicant submitted a Geotechnical Report prepared by Professional Service Industries dated
June 1, 2016 (Exhibit 6). The site is nearly topographically flat and no geologically hazardous areas were
identified on the City's COR mapping system or by the geotechnical report. The report details nine (9) test
pit excavations conducted on the subject property at approximately 11 to 21 feet below the ground surface.
Subsurface conditions that were encountered consist of loose to medium dense silty sands fill soils over
medium dense to very dense glacial till soils. Static groundwater was not encountered during the
excavation, however perched groundwater was found in two borings likely the result of recent precipitation
events. The report concludes the site soils are suitable to support conventional spread footings.
The proposal will cover more surface area than the current restaurant use. Grading of the site will extend to
the eastern portion of the site to accommodate the larger building and parking lot. Grading is also needed to

install the new stormwater infrastructure. Total grading quantities anticipated for the proposed
improvements total 2,720 cubic yards of cut, Of this amount, 2,600 cubic yards will be exported from the
site with the remaining 120 cubic yards used as fill. Implementation of code and storm water manual
required temporary erosion and sedimentation control standards will be adequate to stabilize the site
during construction,
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.
Nexus:N/A
2. Air
Impacts: It is anticipated that some temporary adverse air quality impacts could be associated with site
work and building construction required to develop this site. Project development impacts during
construction may include dust, resulting from grading and exhaust from construction vehicles. Dust control
would be mitigated through the use of temporary erosion control measures such as a rock apron
construction entrance, wheel wash, sweeping, and watering all active construction areas (Exhibit 13). No
further site specific mitigation for the identified impacts from typical vehicle and construction exhaust is
required.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.
Nexus:N/A
3. Water
a. Storm Water
Impacts: A Technical Information Report (TIR) prepared by Pacland (Exhibit 7) was submitted with the
application. No downstream flooding or erosion issues were identified in the drainage report. Based on the
City of Renton's flow control map, this site falls within the Flow Control Duration Standard area matching
Forested Site Conditions and is within the Black River Drainage Basin. The development would be subject to
Full Drainage Review in accordance with the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and
the City of Renton Amendments to the KCSWDM. All core requirements and six special requirements are
discussed in the TIR.
As outlined in the drainage report, runoff is generated from the site by the existing restaurant building,
asphalt parking lot, and concrete sidewalks. Drainage is collected and released to the City's system in 108'h
Ave SE. A swale is located on the northeast corner of the site that collects runoff from 109th Ave SE which
then drains to a 36-inch detention pipe before it is discharged into the 108'h Ave SE system.
The proposed site hydrology with the redevelopment will preserve the general configuration with runoff
flowing from east to west. Flows will collect in catch basins located throughout the site, which will then be
treated and detained prior to being discharged into the City's system in 108'h Ave SE. The existing detention
pipe will be relocated to the northern portion of the site and continue to receive and detain runoff from
109th Ave SE. The Tl R's flow control analysis resulted in the need for the site to provide additional detention
capacity. The applicant proposes to install a subsurface open-bottom modular detention vault system
beneath the surface parking lot (Exhibit 8). To comply with water quality requirements for the site, the
applicant proposes to install a modular wetland system upstream of the detention facility. The modular
wetland is intended to collect and treat runoff generated by pollution generating impervious surfaces.
Runoff collected in the modular water quality and detention vaults will be conveyed to the existing City
system in 108'h Ave SE.
The applicant's Conditional Use Permit application was accepted prior to the adoption of the City's currently
adopted stormwater manual and is therefore vested to the 2009 KCSWDM and 2010 City Amendments if the
applicant submits a complete construction and/or building permit prior to April 4, 2017. The use of the

proposed modular wetland and Oldcastle StormCapture detention vault will require the applicant to submit
an adjustment request in accordance with the City Amendments to the 2009 KCSWDM.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.
Nexus: N/A
4. Vegetation
Impacts: An arborist report prepared by Washington Forestry Consultants (Exhibit 9) was submitted with
the land use application. The report lists the primary tree species found on the site as Scotch Pine, Sitka
Spruce, and Red Alder. The 26 surveyed trees range between 6 to 26 inches DBH. Overall the report found
the trees to be in very poor to fair health. Of the site's 26 trees, 9 trees were evaluated as non-significant as
they contained structural defects and/or were in substandard health, resulting in the subject property
containing 17 significant trees. The applicant is required to retain 10-percent of the significant trees located
onsite that are not located within the proposed rights-of-way or access easements. Of the 17 significant
trees onsite, the applicant is proposing to retain 3 trees or 18-percent to meet the tree retention
requirement (Exhibit 5), The applicant has demonstrated compliance with the Tree Retention requirements
of the code. Additionally, the applicant proposes to maintain a replanted vegetated area along the eastern
portion of the property adjacent to 109th Ave SE approximately 37-feet in width.
During construction, trees required to be retained (Le., protected trees), would be required to comply with
the tree protection measures during construction (RMC 4-4-130H.9), The eight central components of tree
protection include defining and protecting the drip line, erecting and maintaining a temporary six-foot-high
chain link construction fence with placards around the tree to be retained, protecting the tree from grade
changes, keeping the area clear of impervious surface material, restricting grading within the drip line,
providing 3" of bark mulch within the required fencing, retaining a certified arborist to ensure trees are
protected from development activities, and alternate protection/safeguards as necessary.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.
Nexus: N/A
5. Aesthetics
Impacts: The 8,261 square foot single story structure measures 154-feet wide by 58-feet deep at its largest
points (Exhibit 10), The tallest points of the structure are the ridges of the two gable roof features located
on furthest east and west portions of the building (Exhibits 11) and are approximately 30-feet above finished
grade. The majority of the building averages approximately 22-feet above finished grade as it alternates
between two-foot vertical parapets. The proposed building fronts on 108th Ave SE and includes transparent
windows, weather protection, and doors on the street facing elevation with those features also wrapping
the building 90-degrees onto the north elevation closest to the street. The exterior building material is
comprised of brick with banding at the base and near the top of the building. Roll-up doors contain
transparent glass and upper sections of the building contain clerestory glazing,
The applicant is proposing a 15-foot building front yard setback from 1081h Ave SE with gabled roof and
weather protection to reduce apparent scale. The front yard setback allows for substantial landscaping
between the back of sidewalk and the proposed building. The design of the building and it's relation to the
street are anticipated to meet many of the City's Urban Design Regulations with detailed review occurring as
part of the Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.

6. Transportation
Environmental Review Committee Report
Page 6 of 6
Impacts: Access to the site would continue to be provided in approximately the same driveway location on
108'h Ave SE. No vehicle or pedestrian access is provided along 109th Ave SE. The applicant submitted a Trip
Generation Memorandum prepared by Transportation Engineering NW (Exhibit 12). The site generated
traffic volumes that were calculated using data from the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip
Generation Manual, 9th Edition, (2009). Based on the calculations provided, the proposed vehicle service
and repair development would result in a decrease in overall weekday trips compared with the site's
existing fast food restaurant. During peak hours, the proposal would gain 16 net new trips during the
weekday AM peak and have a net reduction of 13 trips in the weekday PM peak. As the proposed
development would generate less than 20 net new trips during the weekday AM and PM peak hours, no
traffic impact analysis would be required.
Transportation concurrency findings will be provided in the Administrative Site Plan Review and Conditional
Use Permit report based upon the test of the citywide transportation plan, consideration of growth levels
included in the LOS-tested transportation plan, and payment of transportation mitigation fees. Note that the
project is anticipated to pass the City of Renton Traffic Concurrency Test and increased traffic created by the
development would be mitigated through the payment of applicable transportation impact fees.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.
Nexus: N/A
7. Fire & Police
Impacts: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicated that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the
proposed development, provided the applicant constructs Code required improvements and submits
payment of impact fees.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.

ENVIRONMENTAL & DEVELOPMENTAL APPLICATION REVIEW SHEET
POLICE RELATED COMMENTS
4 Police Calls for Service Estimated Annually
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Theft from construction sites is one of the most commonly reported crimes in the City. To protect materials and equipment it is recommended that all
materials and tools be locked up when not in use. The site should have security lighting, and any construction or storage trailers should be completely
fenced in with portable chain link fencing. The fence will provide both a physical and psychological barrier to any prospective criminal and will
demonstrate that the area is private property.
Construction trailers should be kept locked when not in use, and should be fitted with heavy duty deadbolts with a minimum 1 'l/2" throw when bolted.
Any construction material that contains copper should be removed from the construction site at the end of each working day. Glass windows in
construction trailers should be shatter resistant. Toolboxes and storage containers should be secured with heavy duty padlocks and kept locked when not
in use.
"No Trespassing" signs should be posted on the property during the construction phase. This will aid police in making arrests on the property after hours if
suspects are observed vandalizing or stealing building materials. The use of private security personnel to patrol the site during the hours of darkness is
recommended.
COMPLETED FACILITY
All exterior doors should be made of solid metal or metal over wood, with heavy duty deadbolt locks, latch guards or pry resistant cylinders around the
locks, and peepholes. Glass pedestrian and glass bay doors should be fitted with the hardware described above and additionally be fitted with a layer of
security film. Security film can increase the strength of the glass by up to 300%, greatly reducing the likelihood of breaking glass to gain entry. Access
to the back of the buildings should be limited as these areas could be vulnerable to crime due to the lack of natural surveillance by business customers or
employees.
It is recommended that the building be monitored with recorded security alarm systems installed. It's not uncommon for businesses to experience theft
and/or vandalism during the hours of darkness. It is important to direct all foot traffic towards the main entrance of the buildings. Any alternative
employee entrances should have controlled access doors to prevent trespassing.
All areas of this project need to have adequate lighting. This will assist in the deterrent of theft from motor vehicle (one of the most common crimes in
Renton) as well as provide safe pedestrian travel for both employees and customers. Any vehicles that are not repaired in the same day and left
overnight should be parked in a secured enclosed area. If a garage or bay is not available, then the vehicle should be parked in an area well lit.
The building should have building numbers clearly posted with numbers at least 12" in height and of a color contrasting with the building. The plans
listed these numbers as only being 6" high which is well below the recommendation. This will assist emergency personnel in locating the correct location
for response.
Landscaping should be installed with the objective of allowing visibility-not too dense and not too high. All trees should be trimmed four to five feet up
from the ground. Shrubs should be pruned to no more than three feet tall. Too much landscaping will make customers and employees feel isolated
and will provide criminals with concealment to commit crimes such as burglary.
It is important for a business to have appropriate lighting and signage. "No Trespassing" signs should be posted in conspicuous locations, including
entrances to the property and parking areas.
I highly recommend that the developer have a Renton Police Crime Prevention Representative conduct a security survey of the premises once construction
is complete.

21. Comprehensive Plan Compliance: The site is designated Residential High Density (RHD) on the City's
Comprehensive Plan Map. RHD unit types are designed to incorporate features from both single-family
and multi-family developments, support cost-efficient housing, facilitate infill development, have close
access to transit service, and efficiently use urban services and infrastructure. Lands designated RHD is
where projects will be compatible with existing uses and where infrastructure is adequate to handle
impacts from higher density uses. The proposal is compliant with the following Comprehensive Plan Goals
and Policies if fill conditions of approval are met:
Compliance Comprehensive Plan Analysis
Policy L-2: Support compact urban development to improve health outcomes, support
,/ transit use, maximize land use efficiency, and maximize public investment in
infrastructure and services.
Goal L-H: Plan for high-quality residential growth that supports transit by providing urban
,/ densities, promotes efficient land utilization, promotes good health and physical activity,
builds social connections, and creates stable neighborhoods by incorporating both built
amenities and natural features.
,/ Goal L-BB: Maintain a high quality of life as Renton grows by ensuring that new
development is designed to be functional and attractive.
,/ Goal L-FF: Strengthen the visual identity of Renton and its Community Planning Areas
and neighborhoods through quality design and development.
Policy L-51: Respond to specific site conditions such as topography, natural features, and
,/ solar access to encourage energy savings and recognize the unique features of the site
through the design of subdivisions and new buildings.
Policy L-52: Include human-scale features such as pedestrian pathways, quality
,/ landscaping, and public spaces that have discernible edges, entries, and borders to
create a distinctive sense of place in neighborhoods, commercial areas, and centers.
,/ Policy L-53: Orient buildings in developments toward the street or a common area,
rather than toward parking lots.
Policy L-57: Complement the built environment with landscaping using native,
,/ naturalized, and ornamental plantings that are appropriate for the situation and
circumstance and which provide for respite, recreation, and sun/shade.
22. Zoning Development Standard Compliance: The RMF Zone provides suitable environments for multi-
family dwellings. It is further intended to conditionally allow uses that are compatible with and support
a multi-family environment. The RMF allows for the development of both infill parcels in existing multi-
family districts with compatible projects and other multi-family development. Densities range from ten
(10) to twenty (20) du/acre with opportunities for bonuses up to twenty five (25) dwelling units per net
acre. The proposal is compliant with the following development standards if all conditions of approval
are met:

Compliance RMF Zone Develop Standards and Analysis
Density: There is no minimum density requirement for townhouse development in the
RMF zone. The minimum density required for other attached dwelling units is 10
dwelling units per net acre. The maximum density permitted is 20 dwelling units per net
acre. Net density is calculated after the deduction of sensitive areas, areas intended for
,/ public right-of-way, and private access easements.
Staff Comment: Following the deduction of frontage dedication along Sunset Blvd. NE,
the 15 proposed dwelling units will result in a density calculation of 17.5 dwelling units
per net acre. The proposed town home project complies with the density requirements
of the RM F zone.
Lot Dimensions: There is no minimum lot size required in the RMF zone. A minimum lot
width of 25 feet is required (30 feet for corner lots) for townhouse development. A
minimum lot width of 50 feet is required (60 feet for corner lots) for other attached
dwellings. A minimum lot depth of 50 feet is required for townhouse development. A
minimum lot depth of 66 feet is required for other attached dwellings.
The following table identifies the proposed approximate dimensions for Lots 1-15:

Staff Comment: The applicant hos proposed to modify the minimum lot width and depth
requirements via the PUD process. The reduction in dimensional standards allows the
applicant to achieve a density consistent with the zone and with minimal footprint while
providing amenities which serve to enhance the quality of the development and meet
the PUD decision criteria. Therefore, staff is in support of the requested modification if
all conditions of approval are met.

Lot Coverage: The maximum building coverage is 70 percent for town home
developments. The maximum impervious surface area is 75 percent.
Staff Comment: Similar to the lat dimension modification, the reduction in dimensional
Requested standards for each lot results in the building and impervious surface areas to exceed
tobe the maximum for each individual lot. However the site as a whole is well below the
Modified via maximum building and impervious coverages. The building lot coverage for the site as
thePUD whole is approximately 31 percent (31%). The impervious surface area for the site as a
whole is approximately 57 percent (57%}. As the caverages for the development site as
a whole ore below the maximum standards, staff is in support of the requested
modification if all conditions of approval are met.
Setbacks: The required setbacks for townhouse development in the RMF zone are as
follows: front yard is 10 feet, the side yard is O feet for the attached sides and 5 feet for
the unattached sides, side yard along the street 20 feet, and the rear yard is 10 feet.
The required setbacks for other attached dwellings in the RMF zone are as follows: front
yard is 20 feet, the side yard is O feet for the attached sides and 5 feet for the unattached
sides, side yard along the street is 20 feet, and rear yard is 15 feet.
Staff Comment: As part of the PUD, the applicant is proposing to modify the front, reor
and unattached side yard setbacks for each of the individual lots. Instead, the
applicant proposes to comply with required setbacks holistically for the entire site, with
Requested the exception of the rear yord which requires a 15-foot setback as it is zoned R-1 (see
tobe
RMC 4-2-110D.l3} ond a small portion of the shared walls that extend up to 3.25-feet
Modified via into the front yard on Building 2.
thePUD Stoff is in support of a reduction in the setbacks as the site as a whole meets the setback
requirements, with the exception of small portions of the front and rear yard (Exhibit
19}. The rear yard abuts an R-1 zoned property currently used by Puget Sound Energy
for utility purposes. Improvements on lots 9 and 10 appear to encroach on the 15-foot
setback (Exhibit 4). The property contains relatively steep topography, is adjacent to I-
405, ond is unlikely to be developed due to overhead transmission lines, utility
easements, ond current PSE ownership. In the front yard on Building 2, a shared wall
extends approximately 2 to 3.5 feet into the setback, which exceed the 2-foot maximum
projection allowance for appurtenances in the front yard. The projection is nominal and
provides architectural interest to the building. Staff is in support of the requested
modification if oll conditions of approval are met.
Building Standards: The RMF zone has a maximum building coverage of 70% for
townhouse development and 35% for other attached dwellings. The maximum building
coverage may be increased to 45% through the Hearing Examiner site plan review
process. The RMF zone has a maximum impervious surface coverage of 75%. In the RMF
zone, a maximum building height of 3 stories with a wall plate height of 32 feet is
Compliant if permitted. Roofs with a pitch equal to or greater than 4:12 may project an additional
condition of six (6) vertical feet from the maximum wall plate height. If the height of wall plates on
approval is a building are less than the states maximum the roof may project higher to account for
the difference, yet the combined height of both features shall not exceed the combined met maximums. Common rooftop features, such as chimneys, may project an additional
four (4) vertical feet from the roof surface. Non-exempt vertical projections (e.g., roofs
pitched less than 4:12, decks, railings, etc.) may extend up to six (6) vertical feet above
the maximum wall plate height if the projection is stepped back one-and-a-half (1.5)
horizontal feet from each minimum building setback line for each one (1) vertical foot
above the maximum wall plate height.

Wall plates supporting a primary roof surface that has only one (1) sloping plane (e.g.,
shed roof) may exceed the stated maximum if the average of wall plate heights is equal
or less than the maximum wall plate height allowed.
An additional ten feet {10') of maximum wall plate height and an additional story for a
residential dwelling structure may be obtained through the provision of additional
amenities such as additional recreation facilities, underground parking, and additional
landscaped open space areas; as determined through the site development plan review
process and depending on the compatibility of the proposed buildings with adjacent or
abutting existing residential development. The maximum wall plate height of a
residential structure shall not exceed forty-two feet (42').
Staff Comment: See lot coverage analysis for building coverage analysis. The applicant's
elevation plans (Exhibit 7) do not provide a wall plate height but instead provide the
height at the top of the shed raof. While the overall heights shown exceed the maximum
height allowed, the wall plate height is likely below the wall plate height of 32 feet, but
without an accurate calculation it is not possible to verify compliance. Therefore staff
recommends as a condition of approval, that the applicant submit revised elevation
plans with the building permit application that verifies compliance with the 32-foot
maximum wall plate height. The revised elevation plans shall be reviewed and approved
by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to building permit approval.
Landscaping: The City's landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) require a 10-foot
landscape strip along all public street frontages. Additional minimum planting strip
widths between the curb and sidewalk are established according to the street
development standards of RMC 4-6-060. Street trees and, at a minimum, groundcover,
are to be located in this area when present. Spacing standards shall be as stipulated by
the Department of Community and Economic Development, provided there shall be a
minimum of one street tree planted per address. Any additional undeveloped right-of-
way areas shall be landscaped unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.
Surface parking lots with more than fourteen (14) stalls shall be landscaped as follows:
Surface parking lots with between 15 and 50 spaces shall provide 15 sf of landscaping

identify a 10-foot wide landscape strip along Sunset Blvd NE consisting of trees (one tree
per frontage lot), shrubs, and groundcover. The plan identifies the required 8-foot
planter strip with street trees between the curb and sidewalk within the Sunset Blvd NE
right-of-way. The subject property abuts single-family residential properties to the south

or 10-foot wide fully sight obscuring landscaped visual barrier. The plan identifies a 10-
foot wide fully sight obscuring visual barrier along the southern boundary and 15-foot
wide partially sight obscuring visual barrier along the western boundary. The conceptual

trees.
Priority Three: Alders and cottonwoods shall be retained when all other trees have been
evaluated for retention and are not able to be retained, unless the alders and/ or
cottonwoods are used as part of an approved enhancement project within a critical area
or its buffer.
For multi-family development, the minimum tree density is four (4) significant trees for
every five thousand (5,000) square feet. The tree density may consist of existing trees,
replacement trees, trees required pursuant to RMC 4-4-070Fl, Street Frontage
Landscaping Required, or a combination.
Staff Comment: An Arborist Report was prepared by Arborists NW, LLC (dated October
30, 2016; Exhibit 12) and was submitted with the land use application. The subject
property contains 16 significant trees, with the predominant species being cottonwood.
Other tree species identified by the report included Big Leaf Maple, Black Locust, Pine,
and Sweet Gum with a Diameter Standard Height (DBH) ranging from 8 to 55 inches.
The applicant is required to retain 20 percent (20%) of the trees located onsite that are
not located within the proposed rights-of-way or access easements. Of the 16 significant
trees within the project area, the applicant is proposing to retain 5 trees to meet the
20% tree retention requirement (Exhibits 8, 9 and 12). As a result, the applicant has
demonstrated compliance with the Tree Retention requirements of the code.
During construction, trees required to be retained (i.e., protected trees}, would be
required to comply with the tree protection measures during construction per RMC 4-4-
130H.9. The eight central components of tree protection include defining and protecting
the drip line, erecting and maintaining a temporary six-foot-high chain link construction
fence with placards around the tree to be retained, protecting the tree from grade
changes, keeping the area clear of impervious surface material, restricting grading
within the drip line, providing three inches (r} of bark mulch within the required fencing,
retaining a certified arborist to ensure trees are protected from development activities,
and alternate protection/safeguards as necessary.
Parking: Parking regulations require that a minimum and maximum of 1.6 spaces be
provided per 3 bedroom or large dwelling unit; 1.4 spaces per 2 bedroom dwelling unit;

Demonstration of Compliance and Superiority Required: Applicants must demonstrate
that a proposed development is in compliance with the purposes of this Section and
with the Comprehensive Plan, that the proposed development will be superior to that
which would result without a planned urban development, and that the development
will not be unduly detrimental to surrounding properties.
Staff Comment: The development of this site as a PUD results in a superior design than
y' what would result by the strict application of the Development Standards by developing
the three (3) contiguous properties simultaneously into one (1) unified development that
incorporates enhanced open space and recreation opportunities, unique alley design,
and street presence that would not otherwise be possible if each property were
developed individually or in phases.
The site is designated Residential High Density (RHD) on the Comprehensive Plan Land
Use Map. See analysis under FOF 21: Comprehensive Plan Compliance.
Public Benefit Required: Applicants shall demonstrate that a proposed development will provide
specifically identified benefits that clearly outweigh any adverse impacts or undesirable effects of the
proposed planned urban development, particularly those adverse and undesirable impacts to
surrounding properties, and that the proposed development will provide one or more of the following
benefits than would result from the development of the subject site without the proposed planned
urban development:
a. Critical Areas: Protects critical areas that would not be protected otherwise to the
N/A same degree as without a planned urban development.
b. Natural Features: Preserves, enhances, or rehabilitates natural features of the
N/A subject property, such as significant woodlands, native vegetation, topography, or
noncritical area wildlife habitats, not otherwise required by other City regulations.
c. Public Facilities: Provides public facilities that could not be required by the City for
N/A development of the subject property without a planned urban development.
Use of Sustainable Development Techniques: Design which results in a sustainable
development; such as LEED certification, energy efficiency, use of alternative energy
resources, low impact development techniques, etc.

approval are Staff Comment: The applicant has provided a variety of recreation opportunities and
met open spaces throughout the development The largest recreation space is located on the
northwestern portion of the property. Active spaces include a play structure (dependent
of future demographic of residents), picnic area, and walking path. Also provided are
several lawn areas, plaza between Buildings 3 and 4, and vegetated passive open space.
Without the use af the proposed PUD, na shared open space would be required by the
code and if each af the three (3) parcels were developed separately, there would likely
have been no additional land area to provide any active recreation areas and open
spaces would have been limited to required perimeter landscaping.
HEX_Report_SunsetEdge
Common open spaces are accessed via the development's private alley/woonerf, which
also provides an area for residents to meet and gather. The modified alley is intended
to be a shared space for vehicles and pedestrians. See Circulation/Screening for
additional information.
Staff recommends, as a condition of approval, the applicant submit cut sheets with the
landscape plan of the proposed play structure (ar other active recreation structure
approved by the Current Planning Project Manager), picnic table, and bench. These
amenities shall be durable and appropriate for northwest climate. The cut sheets shall
be submitted with the construction permit application to be reviewed and approved be
the Current Planning Project Manager.
Staff also recommends as a condition of approval, the programmed recreation areas
(lawn, play area, seating, and pathways) shall be constructed prior to Certificate of
Occupancy of the first building.
ii. Circulation/Screening: Provides superior circulation patterns or location or screening
of parking facilities; or
Staff Comment: The proposed internal street system includes a private alley that is
referred to as a woonerf or uliving street.» Woonerfs are a common street treatment
that is used in European cities that are intended to provide an equally shared space
between pedestrians and vehicles. These streets are narrower than the typical street
section and often contain planter landscaping, pedestrian lighting, and alternative
paving materials. Also typical with woonerfs is the absence of curbs as to further solidify
the mixing of pedestrian space and vehicle space.
The applicant's proposed private alley woonerf provides a single 25-foot driveway and
5-foot pedestrian pathway from Sunset Blvd NE. Within the development, the alley
ranges in width between approximately 23 and 33 feet. Along the periphery of the alley
abutting each of the buildings, pavers are provided to contrast with asphalt and planters
are placed adjacent to garage entries. Also, a pedestrian plaza is provided between
buildings 3 and 4 with paver surface and planter box landscaping. No extruded curbs
will be installed within the internal drive (Exhibit 21).
Staff recommends as a condition of approval, the applicant submit a sample far the
paver material within the private alley with the construction permit application. The
paver material shall have a contrasting color compared with the asphalt surface and
shall be reviewed and approved by the Current Planning Project Manager prior ta
construction permit approval. Staff also recommends, as a condition of approval, that
the applicant submit cut sheets with the construction permit application for the planter
boxes in the private alley. Additional planter boxes may be required depending on space
constraints with alley. The cut sheets shall be a component of the detailed landscape

Vehicle parking would be located within garages for each unit with one (1) surface
parking space located on the north portion of the property that would be shielded from
view with the site's topography ond building placement. Building's 1 and 2 will have rear
loaded vehicle garages with pedestrian oriented buildings abutting Sunset Blvd. NE.
The proposed private alley/woonerf provides residents an ottroctive ond unique amenity
that also doubles as an active recreation and gathering area. Opportunities for
neighbors to interact on the street can assist in creating a pride of ownership in their
community. Without the use of a PUD, the street would have likely been designed as a
public limited residential access street with a 45-foot ROW width. Required public street
improvements would have resulted in fewer opportunities for common open spaces and
the loss of a unique design aesthetic.
Staff recommends as a condition of approval a sign package component with the private
alley/woonerf that compliments the overall development with addresses, building
numbers and wayfinding. The sign package shall be submitted with the construction
permit application to be reviewed and approved by the Current Planning Project

Staff Comment: The applicant is proposing to provide a private alley/woonerf. The
townhomes abutting Sunset Blvd NE would be pedestrian oriented along the public
street and alley loaded garages at the rear of the buildings.
Building and Site Design:
i. Perimeter: Size, scale, mass, character and architectural design along the planned
urban development perimeter provide a suitable transition to adjacent or abutting
lower density/intensity zones. Materials shall reduce the potential for light and glare.
Staff Comment: The subject property abuts the RMF zone to the north and single-family
residential to the south ond west. Single family residential zoning is also across Sunset
Blvd NE to the east. Buildings are setback appropriately fram abutting developed
properties. To the north a multifamily development and single-family residential home
are buffered by the developments open space and recreation area and landscaped
building setback area. The south and west properties are zoned single-family residential
however they are owned and operated by Puget Sound Energy and contain overhead
power lines and utility easements reducing the likelihood the properties would be
developed in the future.

to the sotisfoction of the Current Planning Project Manager (see discussion in FOF 28:
Design District 'B' Review}. The moteriols board would also be used to confirm that
siding materials are non-reflective which would reduce glare. Each unit would have
windows, which could slightly reflect light from the building but not to an extent beyond
any typical multi-family development.
A lighting plan was not submitted with the application package; therefore, staff
recommends a condition of approval, the applicant to provide a lighting pion that
includes a photometric calculation of average footcandles that adequately provides for
public safety without casting excessive glare on adjacent properties. Pedestrian scale

movement. The lighting plan shall be submitted with the construction permit application
to be reviewed and approved by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to
construction permit approval.
ii. Interior Design: Promotes a coordinated site and building design. Buildings in groups
should be related by coordinated materials and roof styles, but contrast should be
provided throughout a site by the use of varied materials, architectural detailing,
building orientation or housing type; e.g., single family, townhouses, flats, etc.
Staff Comment: The proposed buildings appear ta have been designed to be built in a
coordinated fashion, utilizing a consistent set of materials. The similar exterior
components ond roof profiles across all buildings helps to establish o cohesive
development design. Differentiation throughout the design is provided with the use of
different materials and colors. The applicant is proposing the use of fiber cement board,
stained cedar, aluminum, ond steel.
Buildings along Sunset Blvd NE are oriented to the street and contain pedestrian only
amenities as the buildings are rear vehicle loaded. Stoops and landscaped front yards
are provided along the street. Buildings along the private alley/woonerf are oriented to
the alley and take advantage of the pedestrian friendly space.
Circulation:
i. Provides sufficient streets and pedestrian facilities. The planned urban development
shall have sufficient pedestrian and vehicle access commensurate with the location, size
and density of the proposed development. All public and private streets shall
accommodate emergency vehicle access and the traffic demand created by the
development as documented in a traffic and circulation report approved by the City.
Vehicle access shall not be unduly detrimental to adjacent areas.
ii. Promotes safety through sufficient sight distance, separation of vehicles from
tr pedestrians, limited driveways on busy streets, avoidance of difficult turning patterns,
and minimization of steep gradients.
iii. Provision of a system of walkways which tie residential areas to recreational areas,
transit, public walkways, schools, and commercial activities.
iv. Provides safe, efficient access for emergency vehicles.

approximately 9.5 feet (subject to final survey). A center two-way left turn lane is also
required to be provided on Sunset Blvd NE frontage from the end of the existing left turn
lane on Sunset Blvd NE frontage to the north property line of parcel 311990-0011.
Internal Road -In-lieu af providing a 45-foot wide limited residential access street, the
applicant is proposing a private alley/woonerf designed street section with varying
widths of 26 to 32 M feet that would comingle pedestrian and vehicle space. A delineated
pedestrian path extends along the driveway to Sunset Blvd NE to connect to the public
sidewalk that would be constructed by the applicant. This PUD modification would
provide a unique street for residents ta gather and for recreation. The proposed street
also preserves additional space on the property to incorporate common open space on
the north and west portions of the site.
Structures are located at least 25 feet from the intersection with Sunset Blvd NE
providing adequate site distance and clear vision area. The turning radius within the
development contains a 45-foot outside and 25-foat inside radii with hammerhead
turnaround for fire apparatus accessibility.
Concurrency -The proposed development would generate approximately 87 net new
average weekday daily trips. During the weekday AM peak haur, the project would
generate approximately 7 net new trips (1 inbound and 6 outbound). During the
weekday PM peak hour, the project would generate approximately 8 net new trips (5
inbound and 3 outbound}. The proposed project passes the City of Renton Traffic
Concurrency Test per RMC 4-6-070.D (Exhibit 24).

Geologically Hazardous Areas: Based upon the results of a geotechnical report and/or
independent review, conditions of approval for developments may include buffers
and/or setbacks from buffers. A standard 15-foot building setback is required for all
structures from Protected Slope areas.
A SO-foot buffer and 15-foot building setback are required from Very High Landslide
Hazard Areas.
Stat[_ Comment: The subject property has been identified as an Erosion Hazard and
Landslide Area by City af Renton G/S, based an the much of the site slopes exceeding
15%. A protected slope exists along the western margin af the site. According ta the
geatechnica/ report and the results of the sail explaratary test pits, past fill activity
spans much af the site, typically extending ta 4 M feet below existing grade.
A protected s/ape is defined as a hillside, or partian thereof, with an average slope, as
identified in the City of Renton Steep Slape Atlas ar in a methad approved by the City,
af forty percent (40%) ar greater grade and having a minimum vertical rise af fifteen
feet (15'). The engineer identified a S,485 square foot area af the subject property as
protected slapes. The applicant is prapasing ta encroach into approximately 2,02S
square feet of the protected s/ape necessitating an alteration ta the critical areas
created as a result of the private gravel U-shaped road installation created aver the
past several decades. The applicant is proposing ta remove the existing fill comprised
of silty sand, lags, woody debris and general refuse up ta 4 M feet be/aw grade from the
tap of the protected slope and re-graded ta less than 15 feet in vertical rise so that relief
of the protected slope would be less than 15 feet high (Exhibit 13). Therefore, staff is
recommending a mitigation measure that wauld require the applicant ta formally apply
far a Critical Area Variance, from RMC 4-3-050, Critical Areas Regulations in order ta
encroach into the protected critical slope ar apply far a modification ta alter the
geologically hazardous critical area in accordance with RMC 4-3-0501, prior ta civil
construction permit approval.
The Geatechnica/ Report, recommends that no permanent slopes be steeper than
2H:1 V and all permanent cut slopes and fill slopes should be adequately inclined to
reduce fang-term raveling, sloughing, and erasion. The use of flatter slopes (such as
2MH:1 V) would further reduce long-term erosion and facilitate revegetatian.
The 2015 geatechnical report included specific recommendations far: site preparation,
spread footings, slab-on-grade floors, asphalt pavement, and structural fill. The
Environmental Review Committee (ERC) issued a DNS-M that included a mitigation
measure that the applicant must comply with the recommendations found in the

Page 2 of 8
The applicant is requesting Preliminary Planned Urban Development, Preliminary Plat and Environmental
(SEPA) Review for the construction of 15 townhomes with attached garages located at 701-707 Sunset Blvd NE
(King County Assessor's Parcel Nos. 3119900005, 3119900010, and 3119900011, "Subject Property").
The subject property is located at the NW intersection of Sunset Blvd NE and NE 7th St within the NE X of
Sections 8, Township 23 North, Range 05 East, W.M. King County, Washington (Exhibits 2 and 3). The western
boundary of the site is roughly 200 feet east of 1-405. The 39,187 square foot property proposed for
development of Sunset's Edge Town homes abuts the west side of Sunset Blvd NE and is just north of NE 7th St.
Surrounding the 39,187 square foot property proposed for development of Sunset's Edge Townhomes is single
family home and Crystal Heights Town homes Condominium consisting of 18 units to the north, Puget Sound
Energy property to the west and south, and two single family homes across Sunset Blvd NE to the east.
The property has a Comprehensive Plan land use designation of Residential High Density (RHO), is zoned
Residential Multi-Family {RMF) and is located in the Urban Design District B overlay district. The applicant is
proposing attached residential dwellings, which are an allowed use in the RMF zone. The land surrounding the
site is zoned RMF to the north, R·l to the west and R-8 to the south and east.
The RMF zone has an allowed density up to 20 dwelling units per net acre. The proposal consists of 15 units to
be constructed as four (4) buildings; consisting of four (4) different building types in duplex and 5-plex
configurations {Exhibit 4). Proposed building "Type A" would make up 3 units, "Type B" would make up 5 units,
"Type C" would make up 6 units, and "Type D" would make up 1 unit (Exhibit 5). Building 1 consists of 3 units,
Buildings 2 and 4 consist of 5 units each and Building 3 consists of 2 units. Together the units would have a
finished gross floor area of 34,795 square feet {living area + garage area + deck area; Exhibit 4). The average
living area per unit is approximately 1,756 square feet with an average attached garage size of approximately
467 square feet. The smallest overall unit would have a total finished living area of 1,745 square feet with a 214
square feet attached garage and a 44 square feet deck area (2,003 square feet). The largest overall unit would
have a total finished living area of 1,678 square feet with a 728 square feet attached garage and a 136 square
feet deck area (2,542 square feet). Each unit would have attached parking garages on the first level providing
stalls for two vehicles with either side-by-side or tandem parking (Exhibit 6).
If all 15 units are provided by the development, the net density would be 17.5 dwelling units per net acre,
which is within the allowable density range for the RMF zone. These buildings would be approximately 37'-2 JI,''
at the highest point of the shed roof and three stories (Exhibit 7). The proposed development plans to take
advantage of territorial views to the West while maintaining inviting and pedestrian-oriented fa,ades along
Sunset Blvd NE. All buildings facing Sunset Blvd NE are configured to have large glass entry doors on raised
stoops.
The site was previously improved with a small 480 square feet office building with paved and gravel access
drive. Fill was also placed on the property to create a terraced area more or less even with Sunset Blvd NE. The
office building was removed in 2010; however, the pavement and gravel areas remain in an unmaintained
condition. The remainder of the site is covered by trees, blackberry bushes, and grass.

The proposed project is anticipated to include approximately 204 linear feet of street frontage improvements
along Sunset Blvd NE. Frontage requirements include 22-foot wide half-street paved width from the centerline
of the right-of-way (including five-foot wide bike lane, eleven-foot wide thru travel lane, and six-foot wide half
width for the center turn/ left turn lane), one-half foot wide curb, eight-foot wide landscaped planter strip,
eight-foot wide concrete sidewalk, and one-foot wide clear width back of the sidewalk. The right-of-way (ROW)
width should extend to include the one-foot wide clear width back of the sidewalk. The ROW width dedication
required is approximately 9.5 feet (subject to final survey). Additional improvements to the site include
subgrade utility installation, driveways, a woonerf, landscaping, pedestrian pathways, retaining walls, and
common open space. The project would access Sunset Blvd NE via a new private driveway extending west into
the site, approximately 83 feet, before configuring into a T-shaped hammerhead turnaround. Vehicular access
to the proposed buildings would come from a central private road. As proposed, there are 30 parking spaces
provided within the garages and 1 outside surface parking stall near the common play area.
The total impervious surface area would be approximately 21,161 square feet or 56.8 percent of the net lot
area (21,161 SF/ 37,244 SF= 56.8%). Pervious areas of the project site would either be landscaped or installed
with pervious pavers.

D. Environmental Impacts
The Proposol was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the
applicant hos adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction
with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified.that the proposal is likely to hove the following
probable impacts:
1. Earth
Impacts: The applicant submitted Geotechnical Engineering Report for 701 Sunset Blvd NE prepared by
E3RA, Inc. (dated April 16, 2015; Exhibit 10). At total of three exploratory test pits were excavated with a
rubber-tracked mini-excavator. The subsurface soils on the site were found to contain a surface mantle of
sod, topsoil, or gravel surfacing, typically no more than 6 inches thick. Underlying this material, a fill zone
spans much of the site, typically extending to 4Y, feet below existing grade. The uppermost 3 feet of the fill
material is comprised of silty sand in a medium dense in-situ condition. From 3Yi to 4Yi feet below existing
grade, logs, woody debris and general refuse were incorporated into the fill material. Native soils on site
consist of glacial till deposited during the most recent glaciation of the area; the Vashon Stade of the Fraser
Glaciation. Glacial till deposits observed in our subsurface explorations were all moderately weathered and
comprised of gravelly, silty sand in a medium dense in-situ condition. The report stated that unweathered
deposited would likely be encountered with depth. No groundwater seepage was observed by the
geotechnical engineer at the time of subsurface explorations (January 21, 2015), which extended to a
maximum depth of 7 Yi feet below existing grade. The geotechnical report did not encounter any loose sand
layers or lenses that could contribute to liquefaction.
The geotechnical report concludes post-construction settlement could occur due to a zone of organic-laden
fill material underlying the site. As a result, the geotechnical report recommends over-excavation of the
building footprints down to native soils (approximately 4 Yi feet) followed by structural fill. Also, if floor
construction occurs during wet conditions, it is likely that a geotextile fabric, placed between the structural
fill floor subbase and native soils, would be necessary. In addition, conventional spread footings were also
found, by the geotechnical engineer, to provide adequate support for the structures if the subgrades are
properly prepared.
The applicant proposes to excavate approximately 900 cubic yards of fill material and native soils. Structural
fill is estimated to be approximately 3,400 cubic yards. Overall the applicant is proposing to regrade
approximately 75 percent of the subject property to provide for building sites, access driveways, common

open space and parking areas. The applicant would be subject to designing and installing temporary erosion
and sedimentation control measures (TESC} in order to capture runoff water and sediment during
construction.
The subject property has been identified as an Erosion Hazard and Landslide Area by City of Renton GIS,
based on the much of the site slopes exceeding 15%. A protected slope exists along the western margin of
the site. According to the geotechnical report and the results of the soil exploratory test pits, past fill activity
spans much of the site, typically extending to 4 Y, feet below existing grade.
A protected slope is defined as a hillside, or portion thereof, with an average slope, as identified in the City
of Renton Steep Slope Atlas or in a method approved by the City, of forty percent {40%) or greater grade
and having a minimum vertical rise of fifteen feet (15'). The engineer identified a S,485 square foot area of
the subject property as protected slopes. The applicant is proposing to encroach into approximately 2,025
square feet of the protected slope necessitating an alteration to the critical areas created as a result of the
private gravel U-shaped road installation created over the past several decades. The applicant is proposing
to remove the existing fill comprised of silty sand, logs, woody debris and general refuse up to 4 Y, feet
below grade from the top of the protected slope and re-graded to less than 15 feet in vertical rise so that
relief of the protected slope would be less than 15 feet high (Exhibit 13). Therefore, staff is recommending a
mitigation measure that would require the applicant to formally apply for a Critical Area Variance, from RMC
4-3-050, Critical Areas Regulations in order to encroach into the protected critical slope or apply for a
modification to alter the geologically hazardous critical area in accordance with RMC 4-3-050J, prior to civil
construction permit approval.
The Geotechnical Report, recommends that no permanent slopes be steeper than 2H:1 V and all permanent
cut slopes and fill slopes should be adequately inclined to reduce long-term raveling, sloughing, and erosion.
The use of flatter slopes (such as 2Y,H:1V) would further reduce long-term erosion and facilitate
revegetation.
The 2015 geotechnlcal report included specific recommendations for: site preparation, spread footings, slab-
on-grade floors, asphalt pavement, and structural fill. As such, staff recommends a mitigation measure that
the _applicant shall comply with the recommendations found in the Geotechnical Engineering Report
completed by E3RA, Inc. (dated April 16, 2015) or updated report submitted at a later date.
Mitigation Measures:
a. Project construction shall be required to comply with the recommendations found in the Geotechnical
Engineering Report completed by E3RA, Inc. (dated April 16, 2015) or updated report submitted at a
later date.
b. The applicant shall apply for a Critical Area Variance, from RMC 4-3-050, Critical Areas Regulations, in
order to encroach into the protected critical slope or apply for a modification to alter the geologically
hazardous critical area in accordance with RMC 4-3-050J, prior to civil construction permit approval.
Nexus: State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Environmental Review, RMC 4-3-050 Critical Areas Regulations
and RMC 4-4-060 Grading, Excavation and Mining Regulations.
2. Air
Impacts: It is anticipated that some temporary adverse air quality impacts could be associated with site
work and building construction required to develop this site. Project development impacts during
construction may include dust as a result of grading and exhaust from construction vehicles. Dust control
would be mitigated through the use of temporary erosion control measures or other measures to remediate
impacts as needed (Exhibit 15).
No further site specific mitigation for the identified impacts from typical vehicle and construction exhaust is
required.

3. Water
a. Water runoff (including stormwater)
Environmental Review Committee Report
LUAl6-000864, ECF, PP, PPUD
Page 6 ofB
Impacts: Duncanson Company, Inc. submitted a Preliminary Technical Information Report for Sunset's Edge
Townhomes (dated October 26, 2016; revised date January 27, 2017; Exhibit 11) with the application. The
report analyzes off-site drainage and project surface water collection and distribution. According to the
report, project site basin area is 37,244 square feet or 0.86 acres. Water runoff exits the property and flows
northwest through Puget Sound Energy (PSE) property, down a well vegetated slope of less than 15 percent,
for at least 50 feet. Runoff continues west for another 200 feet before entering the stormwater conveyance
system in 1-405.
According to the drainage report, the site was previously graded and filled. The project is part of a
redevelopment of the site that removes and replaces some pavement and gravel areas with the
construction of 15 townhouse units. A new internal road and sidewalk is proposed to provide access to the
units. Runoff would be collected from the access drive, roof surfaces and some landscape areas and would
be routed to a subgrade detention tank (shown on the generalized utilities and drainage plan -Cl measuring
roughly 38 feet long by 35 feet wide; Exhibit 13) near the north end of the subject property via a piped
storm drainage system. The proposed control flow rates would match the existing conditions for the 2-, 10-,
and 100-year storm events.
As described in the drainage report, full dispersal is not considered feasible due to lack of available flow
paths and infiltration was also deemed infeasible due to fill and till soils and slope considerations. Flow
control BM Ps are proposed to take the form of permeable pavers for the internal site walkways. The project
would provide Basic Water Quality treatment in the form of a Stormfilter and provide for Peak Rate Flow
Control according to the TIR.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.
Nexus:N/A
4. Vegetation
Impacts: An Arborist Report was prepared by Arborists NW, LLC (dated October 30, 2016; Exhibit 12) and
was submitted with the land use application. The subject property contains 16 significant trees, with the
predominant species being cottonwood. Other tree species identified by the report included Big Leaf Maple,
Black Locust, Pine, and Sweet Gum with a Diameter Standard Height (DBH) ranging from 8 to 55 inches.
The applicant is required to retain 20 percent {20%) of the trees located onsite that are not located within
the proposed rights-of-way or access easements. Of the 16 significant trees within the project area, the
applicant is proposing to retain 5 trees to meet the 20% tree retention requirement (Exhibits 8, 9 and 12). As
a result, the applicant has demonstrated compliance with the Tree Retention requirements of the code.
During construction, trees required to be retained (i.e., protected trees), would be required to comply with
the tree protection measures during construction per RMC 4-4-130H.9. The eight central components of
tree protection include defining and protecting the drip line, erecting and maintaining a temporary six-foot-
high chain link construction fence with placards around the tree to be retained, protecting the tree from
grade changes, keeping the area clear of impervious surface material, restricting grading within the drip line,
providing three inches {3") of bark mulch within the required fencing, retaining a certified arborist to ensure
trees are protected from development activities, and alternate protection/safeguards as necessary.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.

5. Environmental Health
a. Noise
Environmentol Review Committee Report
LUA16-000864, ECF, PP, PPUD
Page 7 of 8
Impacts: Noise impacts would primarily result from the construction of the proposed road improvements
and new structures. The construction noise would be regulated through the City's adopted noise level
regulations per Chapter 8-7, RMC. The City's noise regulations limit haul hours between 8:30 am to 3:30 pm,
Monday through Friday unless otherwise approved by the Development Services Division. Permitted work
hours in or near residential areas are restricted to the hours between seven o'clock (7:00) a.m. and eight
o'clock {8:00) p.m. for multi-family construction activities from Monday through Friday. Work on Saturdays
is restricted to the hours between nine o'clock (9:00) a.m. and eight o'clock (8:00) p.m. No work is permitted
on Sundays.
Noise impacts anticipated are anticipated to be impacts that would be commonly associated with multi-
family development.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.
Nexus:N/A
6. Aesthetics
Impacts: The 3-story duplex and 5-plex multi-family buildings would be setback from the public right-of-way
approximately 10 feet (Exhibit 4). The development transition between the existing development to the
north and the proposed multi-family structures are buffered by the landscaped public amenity area at the
NE and NW corners. The four townhomes the located near the north property edge have sloped shed roofs
that open the development and reduce the massing along the property edge. The building massing is also
articulated with balconies, designed to enhance building composition and provide amenity space.
Composite siding with textured cement would make up the exterior building materials. The project proposes
to utilize the BuiltGreen sustainable rating system to minimize the environmental impact of the
development. Site infrastructure, such as storm drainage, will be underground and designed in accordance
with Low Impact Development principles to allow for increased common open space on the subject
property.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.
Nexus: N/A
7. Transportation
Impacts: A traffic impact analysis is required when estimated vehicular traffic generated from a proposed
development exceeds 20 vehicles per hour in either the AM (6:00 -9:00) or PM (3:00 -6:00) peak periods.
Generally this includes residential plats of 20 lots or more lots. A residential project consisting of 15
townhome units is not expected to generate more that 20 new peak hour trips (as per the ITE Trip
Generation Manual); therefore, a traffic study was not required for the proposed project.
It is estimated that there would be between 300 and 430 commercial dump truck trips for import and export
of approximately 4,300 cubic yards of graded materials and structural fill to and from the project site. All
construction traffic would occur by leaving the site (turning right) and following Sunset Blvd NE to the south.
All traffic would then proceed to either turn left onto Maple Valley Highway or 1-405.
Access to the site would be provided through a private road located near the center of the site. The central
access point minimizes curb cuts onto Sunset Blvd NE, classified as a Minor Arterial Road. The access would
terminate in a hammerhead turnaround at the center of the development (Exhibit 5). This would allow for
centralization of vehicular access while also allowing sufficient developable area for the project. The

neighboring properties have all been developed so it is not anticipated that further development would
occur at this intersection.
The private internal entrance access driveway would be sloped at a 2 percent grade where it intersects with
Sunset Blvd NE, and then it would increase to a 15 percent slope through the middle section before
terminating at a 2 percent slope at the centerline of the internal lane. The internal lane has slopes between
6 and 10 percent. Access roads with slopes in excess of 15 percent must be approved by the Renton Fire
Authority.
The project would be required to complete half-street frontage improvements to Sunset Blvd NE. Street
improvements would include, but are not limited to, paving, sidewalks, curb and gutter, landscaping, bicycle
lanes, and street lighting along Sunset Blvd NE {Exhibit 13). The internal access road would be constructed as
a woonerf (a shared pedestrian and vehicular area). The typical width of the woonerf is 25 feet of asphalt
followed by a 4 to 5 foot pedestrian walkway constructed with permeable pavers. The permeable pave rs are
located in the plaza area between Buildings 3 and 4, on both sides of the woonerf within the north/south
portion of the T-shaped hammerhead abutting the lots, in the off-street surface parking stall, along the
south side of the entrance road, and in the pedestrian walkways connecting the public sidewalk along
Sunset Blvd NE to the front doors of Buildings 1 and 2. The flush curbs between the two different materials
would allow shared pedestrian and vehicular movements throughout the development. On-street parking
would not be allowed on the portion of Sunset Blvd NE fronting the site or within the proposed private
access road.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.
Nexus: Not applicable.
8. Fire & Police
Impacts: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicated that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the
proposed development; subject to the condition that the applicant provides Code required improvements
and fees.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.
Nexus: Not applicable.

I have personally surveyed yolJr 701 Sunset BLVD NE, Renton site to fulfill the requirements of the City
of Renton's tree retention worksheet and plan as you requested.
Each tree on site now sports numbered metal tags (20). 12 trees are slated for removal.
3 trees with DBH's below the required 8" arc included on this list as we looked at every tree. These trees
are not used in the computations for the "Tree Retention Worksheet'
The International Society of Arboriculture Level 1 inspection method was used. All trees to be removed,
to allow for the proposed development with numerous trees to be replanted. The trees that will remain
are relatively young trees and should withstand the exposure clearing will create. The health of the trees
is similar, again they are young trees to 40' in height with full if asymmetric crowns. No deadwood was
found. These trees are a vigorous species will remain viable for many years. However, as the retained
trees are all cottonwoods in the years to come they will pose increasingly elevated risk levels. The
reasoning for this is, the species vigorous growth to 160' in height and relatively brittle wood. In
advanced years, they are subject to summer limb drop endangering the parking and living spaces.
Drlplines were determined by visual observation of the existing tree limbs.
It will be important to not disturb the root systems of the retained trees_ This will start with stump
grinding rather than pulling out of stumps for removals located in overlying driplines. After that fencing,
shall be installed at the outer limits of the dripline with signs stating that there is to be no excavation,
parking, storing of materials or walking inside the prote~tive fencing.
There will be little to no adverse effects on trees of the abutting properties as they are already well
spaced and away from site boundaries and trees. This isolation will le.Jve the abutting tree roots
untouched. The new building when complete will replace the wind screening lost from tree removals.
Find listed the species, DBH measurements. Driplines and proposed retentions noted.
1. 55" DBH {diameter at breast height) 6 stem stump sprouted Big leaf Maple (SLM}.
2. 16· DBH Sweet Gum.

Construction Migation Description
To Whom it May Concern,
Please find our construction migration details below. The intent of this document is to clarify some of
the measures that will be taken, to ensure that this project does not adversely impact the community,
throughout the construction process.
Proposed construction dates: Construction is proposed to begin Spring of 2017 and will extend into spring of
2018.
Hours and days of Operation: Construction will begin at 7:30am-6:00pm, Monday-Friday. Any work that occurs
outside of this timeframe will be in accordance with the Renton Municipal Code (RMC).
Proposed hauling/transportation routes: All construction traffic will occur by leaving the site (turning right) and
following Sunset Blvd NW to the south. All traffic will then proceed to either: turn left onto Maple Valley Hwy
and continue on 169 to the west, OR turn left onto Maple Valley Hwy and take the next left onto the onramp for
northbound 405, OR continue straight on Sunset which merges into the onramp for southbound 405.
Measures to be implemented to minimize dust, mud, noise, and hauling hours: In order to minimize dust and
mud being tracked onto Sunset Blvd NW, proper TESC measures will be followed, in accordance with the
submitted and approved TESC plan (apart of the Permit drawings). The TESC plan will stipulate the location and
length of the construction entrance, which is designed to shake off the majority of site dirt/mud that has been
affixed to the tires. If debris is tracked into the right of way, additional measures may need to be taken to
remediate dust/mud; including but not limited to: hand sweeping, street sweeping, and wheel washing. All
hauling will occur within the hours noted above AND in accordance with Renton Municipal Code. The site will be
fenced with signage and fabric so as to minimize noise, debris, dust, etc from leaving the site and to act as a
visual deterrent for passing traffic on Sunset Blvd NW.
Please feel free to c II me with any additional questions or concerns.
Respectfully,
Kevin Wall, Project Manager

The following infonnation will need to be submitted before March 13, 2017 so that we may continua the review of the above subject
application:
Adequate sight distance should be provided at the street lnhlrsectlons. The buildings will be raqull9d to be locelad outside the sight triangle
lines or clear vision area.
Adequate comer curb turning radluses are to be provided at the Internal street and alley Intersections to meet fire department requirements.
Fire department apparatus access roadway,, are requil9d to be minimum 20 feet wide fully paved, with 25 feet Inside and 45 feet outside
turning radius. Adequate turning movements for fire vahlctas would not Infringe upon pedestrian sidewalks.
AJl lnhlmal roads to sarva the Planned Urban Development project shall be private alleys localed within a tract or tracts. Updahl the Civil
Sheets and the An;hlhlctural Sheets to reflect the revised prellmlna,y plat layout. An Inverted crown section Is to be provided on all private
alley,,. As a public benefit, staff Is recommending that the alley be constructed Into a Woonerf (living street), which views the street as a
social space, or shared space, rather than just a channel for vehicular mobility. The construction details and specfficatlon should be shown In
the plans. In general, an alley is constructed of a minimum 4 inches thick HMA over minimum 6 inches of aushed rock for the pavement
layer thickness. However, steff la also suggesting the Incorporation of pavers Into the overall dllSlgn.
A Homeownera A.saoclallon will ba requll9d to be established to ensure malnhlnance and repair of the plivahl alleys, sidewalks and open
space Is paid for by the future residents. Update the Draft Legal Documents accordingly.
Toe proposed access location from Sunset Blvd NE (approxlmahlly 88 -north of the south property line to the center of the drive isle) will
require the access to be restricted to a right In right out only driveway with c curbing on Sunset Blvd NE (this Is because the access Is
located In Iha portion of Sunset Blvd which hes tha left tum only lane marking). W the applicant wants the City to review full access for the
project, then the access location will have to be proposed further north (away from the end of the left tum only lane on Sunset Blvd NE). If
the applicant wishes to prnoead with the relocahld access option, a revised sketch labeling the dlstences from the nearby street lnleraectlon
and from the end of the left tum only lane should be submitted for review. Wthe driveway access Is relocatad further to Iha north, full accesa
to Sunset Blvd NE will require Iha construction of a two wey left tum lane in front of the s~e.
Tha minimum easamant width for wehlr main Is 15 feet Instead of the 10 feet shown In the current submittal. No buildings or wells are
allowed ln water easement.
In order to meet Iha fire flow demand, a minimum 12 inch dlametar weter main Is requll9d throughout the site Instead of the 10 Inch dlameler
water main shown.
Toe 12 Inch diameter water main must extond to the south property line of thaslte. As shown In the plans~ terminates just south of Lot 10.
A fire hydrant will ba requlrad near the dead end portion of the water main. A minimum of four lira hydrants are requll9d. One within 150 fest
and three within 300 feet of the proposed buildings. Existing hydrants can be counted toward the requirement as long as they meet current
code, including 5 Inch slolz fittings. Fire flows that exceed 2,500 gpm require e loopad main around/through the proposed buildings or
complex of buildings which is not in place at this time and wiU require water main extensions/replacements.
Minimum 4 inch cliametel" water main extension is required In front of Lots 1 4. Again, a minimum 15 foot wide easement is required around
the water main.
Each building (with an individual owner) shall be served by Individual domestic water meters directly In front of the Iola. Double check valve
assembly (DCVA) Is requil9d at the domestic water meters since the building height exoeeds 30 feel A pressure 19duclng valve will be
required downstream of each water meter because the water pressure is over 80 psi.
The domestic water meters should not be located in Iha driving surface as shown in the current plans. A 5 foot by 5 foot easement Is
raquirad for the lndivlduel weter melers. Water meters shall be locelad In planting strip or In a location that Is not a vahiclllar traveled
surface.
The proposed Sunset Blvd NE street section does not include the requil9d 0.5 width for the curb. The required ROW dedicellon will have to
be revised to provide the 0.5feetwlde airb. Staff has also requested one (1) foot cl-width back of the Bldewalk to be within the ROW. Cily
standards include a maximum slope of 4H:1V lo a distance of 4 feet back of the sidewalk. Provided an updated street section that shows
and labels the required ROW width correctly. Also, minimum 6 inches of crushed rock layer is lo be provided befow the HMA layer In the
pavement.
The sewer main should not be located beneath the stormwater facility. Relocate lhe sewer In the ptans or adjust the stormwater facility.
The sewer main should not be located in the sidewalk. Please show it within the pavement or paver portion of the alley. A minimum 15 feet
wide easement would be required to provide for the sewer main. No buildings or walls are allowed within the sewer easement
The sewer main should at a minimum extend to the property lines.
All lots should be served by individual sewer stubs.
The TIR mentioned that Reduced Impervious Surface Cradtt Is provided for Flow Control BMP. The TIR incom,ctiy refers to the project as a
"Large Lot High Impervious Site." The proposed project is a preUminary plot PUO and proposes Individual small lots, so the stormwater flow
control BMP for the individual lots needs to be provided.

the high landslide area.
In any resldential district, the maximum height of any fence, hedge or retaining wall shall be seventy two inches (72"). Terracing is the act of
forming hillside Into a number of level flat araas (terraces) between retaining walls, which is often used when the maximum height of a single
retaining wall is insufficient. Please refer to retaining wall standards {RMC 4 4 040) for additional information. For example there shall be a
minimum three foot (3') landscaped setback at the base of retaining walls abutting public rights of way. A modification request under the
Planned Urban Development appllcatlon would be required to deviate from Renton Municipal Code. In approving a planned urban
development, the City may modify any of the standards of chapter 4 2 RMC. RMC 4 3 100, chapter 4 4 RMC. RMC 4 6 060 and chapter 4 7
RMC, except as listed In subsection B3 of RMC 4 9 150. All modifications shall be considered simultaneously as part of the planned urban
development.
No buildings or walls should encroach into the existing public utllltles (water and sewer) easement located on the west side of the parcels
(KC Recording Nos. 7709060790, 7709060791 and 7709060794).
A strong component of the public benefit will include a great lighting plan and signage package for the internal private alley {Woonerf).
Please provide.

Planning Review Comments Coniact: Clark Close j 425-430-7289 j cclose@rentonwa.gov
RESOLVED:
The following Information will need to be submitted before March 13, 2017 so that we may continue the review of the above subject
application:
Adequate sight distance should be provided at the street intersections. The buildings will be required lo be located outside the sight triangle
lines or clear vision area.
Adequate comer curb turning radiuses are to be provided at the internal street and alley intersections to meet fire department requirements.
Fire department apparatus access roadways are required to be minimum 20 feet wide fully paved, with 25 feet Inside and 45 feet outside
turning radius. Adequate turning movements for fire vehicles would not infringe upon pedestrian sidewalks.
All internal roads to serve the Planned Urban Development project shall be private alleys located within a tract or tracts. Update the Civil
Sheets and the Architectural Sheets to reflect the revised preliminary plat layout An Inverted crown section is to be provided on all private
alleys. As a public benefit, staff is recommending that the alley be constructed into a Woonerf (living street), which views the street as a
social space, or shared space, rather than just a channel for vehlcular mobility. The construction details and specification should be shown in
the plans. In general, an alley is constructed of a minimum 4 inches thick HMA over minimum 6 inches of crushed rock for the pavement
layer thickness. However, staff is also suggesting the incorporation of pavera Into the overall design.
A Homeowners Association will be required to be establlshed to ensure maintenance and repair of the private alleys, sidewalks and open
space is paid for by the future residents. Update the Draft Legal Documents accordingly.
The proposed access location from Sunset Blvd NE (approxlmately 86 feet north of the south property line to the center of the drive isle) will
require the access to be restricted to a right in right out only driveway with c curbing on Sunset Blvd NE (this is because the access Is
located In the ponlon of Sunset Blvd which has the left tum only lane marl<lng). If the applicant wants the City to review full aooess for the
project, then the access location will have lo be proposed further north (away from the end of the left tum only lane on Sunset Blvd NE). If
the applicant wishes to proceed with the relocated access option, a revised sketch labeling the distances from the nearby street intersection
and from the end of the left tum only lane should be submitted fer review. If the drlveway access Is relocated further to the north, full access
to Sunset Blvd NE wlll require the construction of a two way left tum lane In front of the site.
The minimum easement width for water main is 15 feet instead of the 10 feet shown In the current submittal. No buildings or walls are
allowed In water easement.
In order to meet the fire flow demand, a minimum 12 inch diameter water main is required throughout the site instead of the 10 inch diameter
water main shown.
The 12 inch diameter water main must extend to the south property line of the site. As shown in the plans it tennlnatesjust south of Lot 10.
A flre hydrant will be required near the dead end portion of the water main. A minimum of four fire hydrants are required. One within 150 feet
and three within 300 feet of the proposed bulldlngs. Existing hydrants can be counted toward the requirement as long as they meet current
code, including 5 inch storz fittings. Fire flows that exceed 2,500 gpm require a looped main aroundllhrough Ule proposed buildings or
complex of buildings whleh Is not in place at this time and will require water main extensions/replacements.
Minimum 4 Inch diameter water main extension Is required In front of Lots 1 4. Again, a minimum 15 foot wide easement is required around
the water main.
Each buildlng {with an individual owner) shall be seived by Individual domestic water meters directly in front of the lots. Double check valve
assembly (DCVA) is required at the domestic water meters since the building height exceeds 30 feet. A pressure reducing valve will be
required downstream of each water meter because the water pressure Is over 80 psi.
The domestic water meters should not be located in the driving surface as shown in the current plans. A 5 foot by 5 foot easement rs
required for the individual water meters. Water meters shall be located in planting strip or In a location that is not a vehicular traveled
surface.
The proposed Sunset Blvd NE street section does not include the required 0.5 width for the curb. The required ROW dedication will have to
be revised to provide the 0.5 feet wide curb. Staff has also requested one (1) foot clear width back of the sidewalk to be within the ROW. City
standards include a maximum slope of 4H:1V lo a distance of 4 feet back of the sldewalk. Provided an updated street section that shows
and labels the required ROW width correctly. AJso, minimum 6 inches of crushed rock layer is to be provided below the HMA layer in the
pavement.
The sewer main should not be located beneath the stormwater facility. Relocate the sewer in the plans or adjust the stormwater facility.
The sewer main should not be located in the sidewalk. Please show it within the pavement or paver portion of Iha alley. A minimum 15 feet
wide easement would be required to provide for the sewer main. No buildings or walls are allowed within the sewer easement.
The sewer main should at a minimum extend to the property lines.
All lots should be served by Individual sewer stubs.
The TIR mentioned that Reduced Impervious Surface Credit is provided for Flow Control BMP. The TIR incorrectly refers to the project as a
·targe Lot High Impervious Site.~ The proposed project is a preliminary plat PUD and proposes Individual small lots, so the stormwater flow
control BMP for the individual lots needs to be provided.
The City Amendment of the 2009 KCSWOM includes 6 Special Requirements. The Stormwater TIR should mention all the 6 Special
requirements.
All intemal roads, alleys, surface par1c:ing for guests shall be located within a tract or tracts. Likewise, the retaining walls being constructed to
support the private road and utititles should also be included in the tract(s) controlled and maintained by the Homeowners Association and
not the individual owners of the lots.
A geotechnical report based on the detalled requirements of RMC 4 8 1200.7 Table 18 is required. Including, but not limited to, information

Preliminary Plat and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of a 15 town homes. The vacant 0.9 acre
site is located within the Residential Multi-Family (RMF) zoning classification and the Residential High Density
(RHO) land use designation. The development would be comprised of 15 multi-family residential structures with
attached garages resulting in a net density of 17.5 du/ac. The subject site is consists of three separate adjacent
tax parcels located at 701-707 Sunset Blvd NE at the intersection of NE 7th St and Sunset Blvd N. The plat is
proposed to be subdivided into 15 lots and 1 tract. The applicant would dedicate 1,943 sf of land for public right-
of-way along Sunset Blvd N. The proposed lots would range in size from 737 sf to 909 sf with an average lot size
of 816 sf. Access to the undeveloped site is proposed via single road at the midpoint of the development from
Sunset Blvd NE. The PPUD would be used to vary development standards (such as lot size, building setbacks,
impervious surface area, and building coverage), street standards, parking requirements, and refuse and
recycling. The applicant has proposed enhanced open space, superior pedestrian and vehicular circulation,
pedestrian amenities, guest parking, and landscaping as a public benefit.
The eastern two-thirds of the site are relatively level. The western third of the site consists of a moderate to
steep slope which descends to the west at grades of 50 to 60 percent and represent an elevation change of 15
to 20 feet. There are moderate to steep slopes, high erosion hazards, and high landslide hazards mapped in the

The following information will need to be submitted before March 13, 2017 so that we may continue the review of the above subject
application:
Adequate sight distance should be provided at the street intersections. The buildings will be required to be located outside the sight triangle
lines or clear vision area.
Adequate corner curb turning radiuses are to be provided at the internal street and alley intersections to meet lire department requirements.
Fire department apparatus access roadways are required to be minimum 20 feet wide fully paved, with 25 feel Inside and 45 feet outside
turning radius. Adequate turning movements for fire vehicles would not infringe upon pedestrian sidewalks.
All internal roads to serve the Planned Urban Development project shall be private alleys located within a tract or tracts. Update the Civil
Sheets and the Architectural Sheets to reflect the revised preliminary plat layout. An inverted crown section is to be provided on all prlvate
alleys. As a public benefit, staff is recommending that the alley be constructed Into a Woonert (living street), which views the streel as a
social space, or shared space, rather than Just a channel for vehicular mobility. The construction details and specification should be shown in
the plans. In general. an alley is constructed of a minimum 4 Inches thick HMA over minimum 6 inches at crushed rock for the pavement
layer thickness. However, staff is also suggesting the incorporation of pavers into the overall design.
A Homeowners Association will be required to be established to ensure maintenance and repair of the private alleys, sidewalks and open
space Is paid for by the future resldenls. Update the Draft Legal Documents accordingly.
The proposed access location from Sunset Blvd NE (approximately 86 feet north of the south property line to the center of the drive isle} will
require the access to be restricted to a right in right out only driveway with c curbing on Sunset Blvd NE (this is because the access is
located in the portion of Sunset Blvd which has the left turn only lane marking). If the applicant wants the City to review full access for the
project, then the access location will have to be proposed further north (away from the end of the left tum only lane on Sunset Blvd NE). 1f
the applicant wishes to proceed with the relocated access option, a revised sketch labeling the distances from the nearby street intersection
end from the end of the left tum only lane should be submitted for review. If the driveway access Is relocated further to the north, full access
to Sunset Blvd NE will require the construction of a two way left tum lane in front of the site.
The minimum easement width for water main is 15 feet instead of the 1 O feet shown in the current submittal. No buildings or walls are
allowed ln water easement.
In order to meet the fire flow demand, a minimum 12 inch diameter water main Is required throughout the site instead of the 10 inch diameter
water main shown.
The 12 inch diameter water main must extend to the south property line of the site. As shown in the plans it terminates just south of Lot 1 O.
A fire hydrant will be required near the dead end portion of the water main. A minimum of four fire hydrants are required. One within 150 feet
and three within 300 feet of the proposed buildings. Existing hydrants can be counted toward the requirement as long as they meet current
code, including 5 Inch Storz fittings. Fire flows that exceed 2,500 gpm require a looped main around/through the proposed buildings or
complex of buildings which is not in place at this time and will require water main extensions/replacements.
Minimum 4 inch diameter water main extension is required in front of Lots 1 4. Again, a minimum 15 foot wide easement Is required around
the water main.
Each building (with an individual owner) shall be served by individual domestic water meters direcHy in front of the lots. Double check valve
assembly (DCVA) Is required at the domestic water meters since the building height exceeds 30 feet A pressure reducing valve will be
required downstream or each water meter because the water pressure is over 80 psi.
The domestic water meters should not be located In the driving surtace as shown in the current plans. A 5 foot by 5 foot easement is
required for the individual water meters. Water meters shall be located in planting strip or in a location that is not a vehicular traveled
surface.
The proposed Sunset Blvd NE street section does not Include the required 0.5 width for the curb. The required ROW dedication will have to
be revised lo provide the 0.5 feet wide curb. Staff has also requested one (1) loot clear width back of the sidewalk to be within the ROW. City
standards include a maximum slope ol 4H:1V to a distance of 4 feet back of the sidewalk. Provided an updated street section that shows
and labels the required ROW width correctly. Also, minimum 6 inches of crushed rock layer is to be provided below the HMA layer in the
pavement.
The sewer main should not be located beneath the stormwate, facility. Relocate the sewer in the plans or adjust the stormwater facility.
The sewer main should not be located in the sidewalk. Please show it within the pavement or paver portion of the alley. A minimum 15 feet
wide easement would be required to provide tor the sewer main. No buildings or walls are allowed within the sewer easement.
The sewer main should at a minimum extend to the property lines.
All lots should be served by individual sewer stubs.
The TIR mentioned that Reduced lmpeivious Surtace Credit ls provided for Flow Control BMP. The TIR incorrectly refe,s to the project as a
"Large Lot High Impervious Site." The proposed project is a preliminary plat PUD and proposes Individual small lots, so the stormwater flow
control BMP for the individuaf lots needs to be provided.

The sewer main should at a minimum extend to the property lines.
All lots should be served by individual sewer stubs.
The T1R mentioned that Reduced Impervious Surface Credit is provided for Flow Control BMP. The TIA incorrectly refers to the project as a
"Large Lot High Impervious Site.~ The proposed project is a preliminary plat PUD and proposes individual small lots, so the stormwater flow
control BMP for the individual lots needs to be provided.
The City Amendment of the 2009 KCSWDM includes 6 Special Requirements. The Stonnwater TIA should mention all the 6 Special
requirements.
All internal roads, alleys, surtace parking for guests shall be located within a tract or tracts. Likewise, lhe retaining walls being constructed to

Construction Phasing Plan
To Whom it May Concern,
Please find our construction phasing details below. The intent of this document is to clarify some of the
construction sequencing that will be taken, to ensure that this project is built efficiently and limits the length of
construction.
Construction Phasing Details:
The project will be constructed in (3) phases. The first phase will constitute the mass grading of the site and
getting the terrain prepared for the foundation cuts. The site utilities will be installed at this time and the
roadways/parking stalls will be rough graded.
The second phase will be cutting (2) of the building foundations. These first buildings will be the southeast
structure and the south west structure. The excavation and foundations will stagger start by 1-2 weeks. The first
building slated to be complete will be the southeast building along sunset and the southern building will be
completed 2 weeks later. Once these (2) buildings are through framing, we will begin the third phase.
During the third phase, our efforts will shift to the (2) northern structures. The excavation and foundations will
stagger start by 1-2 weeks and the overall construction duration of the buildings will be 8 months. The site
hardscape and landscape will occur the last 2 months of the project (month 10-12). The overall construction will
take 12-14 months (including all the site work).
Please feel free to call me with any additional questions or concerns.
Respectfully,

The applicant is requesting Preliminary Planned Urban Development and Preliminary Plat
approvals for the construction of a 15 townhomes. The vacant 0.9 acre site is located in the
Residential Multi-Family (RMF) zoning classification and the Residential High Density (RHD) land
use designation. The subject site is consists of three separate adjacent tax parcels located at
701-707 Sunset Blvd NE at the intersection of NE 7th St and Sunset Blvd N. The development
would be comprised of 15 lots and 1 tract resulting in a net density of 17 .5 du/ac. The proposed
lots would range in size from 737 sf to 909 sf with an average lot size of 816 sf. Access to the
site is proposed via single road at the midpoint of the development from Sunset Blvd NE. The
PPUD would be used to vary development standards (such as lot size, building setbacks,
impervious surface area, and building coverage), street standards, parking requirements, and
refuse and recycling. The applicant has proposed enhanced open space, superior pedestrian
and vehicular circulation, pedestrian amenities, guest parking, and landscaping as a public
benefit. The eastern two-thirds of the site are relatively level. The western third of the site
consists of a moderate to steep slopes. High erosion and high landslide hazards are also
mapped in the area. The applicant has proposed to retain five (5) of the 16 significant trees
onsite.
The proposed development would generate approximately 87 net new average weekday daily
trips. During the weekday AM peak hour, the project would generate approximately 7 net new
trips (1 inbound and 6 outbound). During the weekday PM peak hour, the project would
generate approximately 8 net new trips (5 inbound and 3 outbound). The proposed project
passes the City of Renton Traffic Concurrency Test per RMC 4-6-070.D as follows:

resulting 2,025 trips are remaining.
Project subject to transportation mitigation or impact fees: The project will be subject to
transportation impact fees at time of building permit for the project.
Site specific street improvements to be completed by project: The project will be required to
complete all internal and frontage street improvements for the building prior to occupancy. Any
additional off-site improvements identified through SEPA or land use approval will also be
completed prior to final occupancy.
Background Information on Traffic Concurrency Test for Renton
The City of Renton Traffic Concurrency requirements for proposed development projects are
covered under Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-6-070. The specific concurrency test
requirement is covered in RMC 4-6-070.D, which is listed for reference:
D. CONCURRENCY REVIEW PROCESS:
1. Test Required: A concurrency test shall be conducted by the Department for each
nonexempt development activity. The concurrency test shall determine consistency with
the adopted Citywide Level of Service Index and Concurrency Management System
established in the Transportation Element of the Renton Comprehensive Plan, according
to rules and procedures established by the Department. The Department shall issue an
initial concurrency test result describing the outcome of the concurrency test.
2. Written Finding Required: Prior to approval of any nonexempt development activity
permit application, a written finding of concurrency shall be made by the City as part of
Transportation Concurrency
Page 3 of 3

-Sunset's Edge Town homes
the development permit approval. The finding of concurrency shall be made by the
decision maker with the authority to approve the accompanying development permits
required for a development activity. A written finding of concurrency shall apply only to
the specific land uses, densities, intensities, and development project described in the
application and development permit.
3. Failure of Test: If no reconsideration is requested, or if upon reconsideration o project
fails the concurrency test, the project application shall be denied by the decision maker
with the authority to approve the accompanying development activity permit
application.
The Concurrency Management System established in the Transportation Element on page Xl-65
of the Comprehensive Plan states the following:
Based upon the test of the citywide Transportation Plan, consideration of growth levels
included in the LOS-tested Transportation Pion, payment of a Transportation Mitigation
Fee, and an application of site specific mitigation, development will have met City of
Renton concurrency requirements.

Page 2 of8
The applicant is requesting Preliminary Planned Urban Development, Preliminary Plat and Environmental
(SEPA) Review for the construction of 15 townhomes with attached garages located at 701-707 Sunset Blvd NE
(King County Assessor's Parcel Nos. 3119900005, 3119900010, and 3119900011, "Subject Property").
The subject property is located at the NW intersection of Sunset Blvd NE and NE 7th St within the NE X of
Sections 8, Township 23 North, Range 05 East, W.M. King County, Washington (Exhib;ts 2 and 3). The western
boundary of the site is roughly 200 feet east of 1-405. The 39,187 square foot property proposed for
development of Sunset's Edge Town homes abuts the west side of Sunset Blvd NE and is just north of NE 7th St.
Surrounding the 39,187 square foot property proposed for development of Sunset's Edge Townhomes is single
family home and Crystal Heights Townhomes Condominium consisting of 18 units to the north, Puget Sound
Energy property to the west and south, and two single family homes across Sunset Blvd NE to the east.
The property has a Comprehensive Plan land use designation of Residential High Density (RHD), is zoned
Residential Multi-Family (RMF) and is located in the Urban Design District B overlay district. The applicant is
proposing attached residential dwellings, which are an allowed use in the RMF zone. The land surrounding the
site is zoned RMF to the north, R-1 to the west and R-8 to the south and east.
The RMF zone has an allowed density up to 20 dwelling units per net acre. The proposal consists of 15 units to
be constructed as four (4) buildings; consisting of four (4) different building types in duplex and 5-plex
configurations (Exhibit 4). Proposed building "Type A" would make up 3 units, "Type B" would make up 5 units,
"Type C" would make up 6 units, and "Type D" would make up 1 unit (Exhibit 5). Building 1 consists of 3 units,
Buildings 2 and 4 consist of 5 units each and Building 3 consists of 2 units. Together the units would have a
finished gross floor area of 34,795 square feet (living area + garage area + deck area; Exhibit 4). The average
living area per unit is approximately 1,756 square feet with an average attached garage size of approximately
467 square feet. The smallest overall unit would have a total finished living area of 1,745 square feet with a 214
square feet attached garage and a 44 square feet deck area (2,003 square feet). The largest overall unit would
have a total finished living area of 1,678 square feet with a 728 square feet attached garage and a 136 square
feet deck area (2,542 square feet). Each unit would have attached parking garages on the first level providing
stalls for two vehicles with either side-by-side or tandem parking (Exhibit 6).
If all 15 units are provided by the development, the net density would be 17.5 dwelling units per net acre,
which is within the allowable density range for the RMF zone. These buildings would be approximately 37'-2 Yz"
at the highest point of the shed roof and three stories (Exhibit 7). The proposed development plans to take
advantage of territorial views to the West while maintaining inviting and pedestrian-oriented fa~ades along
Sunset Blvd NE. All buildings facing Sunset Blvd NE are configured to have large glass entry doors on raised
stoops.
The site was previously improved with a small 480 square feet office building with paved and gravel access
drive. Fill was also placed on the property to create a terraced area more or less even with Sunset Blvd NE. The
office building was removed in 2010; however, the pavement and gravel areas remain in an unmaintained
condition. The remainder of the site is covered by trees, blackberry bushes, and grass.

The proposed project is anticipated to include approximately 204 linear feet of street frontage improvements
along Sunset Blvd NE. Frontage requirements include 22-foot wide half-street paved width from the centerline
of the right-of-way (including five-foot wide bike lane, eleven-foot wide thru travel lane, and six-foot wide half
width for the center turn/ left turn lane), one-half foot wide curb, eight-foot wide landscaped planter strip,
eight-foot wide concrete sidewalk, and one-foot wide clear width back of the sidewalk. The right-of-way (ROW)
width should extend to include the one-foot wide clear width back of the sidewalk. The ROW width dedication
required is approximately 9.5 feet (subject to final survey). Additional improvements to the site include
subgrade utility installation, driveways, a woonerf, landscaping, pedestrian pathways, retaining walls, and
common open space. The project would access Sunset Blvd NE via a new private driveway extending west into
the site, approximately 83 feet, before configuring into a T-shaped hammerhead turnaround. Vehicular access
to the proposed buildings would come from a central private road. As proposed, there are 30 parking spaces
provided within the garages and 1 outside surface parking stall near the common play area.
The total impervious surface area would be approximately 21,161 square feet or 56.8 percent of the net lot
area (21,161 SF/ 37,244 SF= 56.8%). Pervious areas of the project site would either be landscaped or installed
with pervious pavers.

D. Environmental Impacts
The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the
applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction
with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following
probable impacts:
1. Earth
Impacts: The applicant submitted Geotechnical Engineering Report for 701 Sunset Blvd NE prepared by
E3RA, Inc. (dated April 16, 2015; Exhibit 10). At total of three exploratory test pits were excavated with a
rubber-tracked mini-excavator. The subsurface soils on the site were found to contain a surface mantle of
sod, topsoil, or gravel surfacing, typically no more than 6 inches thick. Underlying this material, a fill zone
spans much of the site, typically extending to 4Y, feet below existing grade. The uppermost 3 feet of the fill
material is comprised of silty sand in a medium dense in-situ condition. From 3Y, to 4Y, feet below existing
grade, logs, woody debris and general refuse were incorporated into the fill material. Native soils on site
consist of glacial till deposited during the most recent glaciation of the area; the Vashon Stade of the Fraser
Glaciation. Glacial till deposits observed in our subsurface explorations were all moderately weathered and
comprised of gravelly, silty sand in a medium dense in-situ condition. The report stated that unweathered
deposited would likely be encountered with depth. No groundwater seepage was observed by the
geotechnical engineer at the time of subsurface explorations (January 21, 2015), which extended to a
maximum depth of 7 Y, feet below existing grade. The geotechnical report did not encounter any loose sand
layers or lenses that could contribute to liquefaction.
The geotechnical report concludes post-construction settlement could occur due to a zone of organic-laden
fill material underlying the site. As a result, the geotechnical report recommends over-excavation of the
building footprints down to native soils (approximately 4 Y, feet) followed by structural fill. Also, if floor
construction occurs during wet conditions, it is likely that a geotextile fabric, placed between the structural
fill floor sub base and native soils, would be necessary. In addition, conventional spread footings were also
found, by the geotechnical engineer, to provide adequate support for the structures if the subgrades are
properly prepared.
The applicant proposes to excavate approximately 900 cubic yards of fill material and native soils. Structural
fill is estimated to be approximately 3,400 cubic yards. Overall the applicant is proposing to regrade
approximately 75 percent of the subject property to provide for building sites, access driveways, common

open space and parking areas. The applicant would be subject to designing and installing temporary erosion
and sedimentation control measures (TESC) in order to capture runoff water and sediment during
construction.
The subject property has been identified as an Erosion Hazard and Landslide Area by City of Renton GIS,
based on the much of the site slopes exceeding 15%. A protected slope exists along the western margin of
the site. According to the geotechnical report and the results of the soil exploratory test pits, past fill activity
spans much of the site, typically extending to 4 Y, feet below existing grade.
A protected slope is defined as a hillside, or portion thereof, with an average slope, as identified in the City
of Renton Steep Slope Atlas or in a method approved by the City, of forty percent (40%) or greater grade
and having a minimum vertical rise of fifteen feet (15'). The engineer identified a 5,485 square foot area of
the subject property as protected slopes. The applicant is proposing to encroach into approximately 2,025
square feet of the protected slope necessitating an alteration to the critical areas created as a result of the
private gravel U-shaped road installation created over the past several decades. The applicant is proposing
to remove the existing fill comprised of silty sand, logs, woody debris and general refuse up to 4 Y, feet
below grade from the top of the protected slope and re-graded to less than 15 feet in vertical rise so that
relief of the protected slope would be less than 15 feet high (Exhibit 13). Therefore, staff is recommending a
mitigation measure that would require the applicant to formally apply for a Critical Area Variance, from RMC
4-3-050, Critical Areas Regulations in order to encroach into the protected critical slope or apply for a
modification to alter the geologically hazardous critical area in accordance with RMC 4-3-050J, prior to civil
construction permit approval.
The Geotechnical Report, recommends that no permanent slopes be steeper than 2H:1V and all permanent
cut slopes and fill slopes should be adequately inclined to reduce long-term raveling, sloughing, and erosion.
The use of flatter slopes (such as 2Y.H:1V) would further reduce long-term erosion and facilitate
revegetation.
The 2015 geotechnical report included specific recommendations for: site preparation, spread footings, slab-
on-grade floors, asphalt pavement, and structural fill. As such, staff recommends a mitigation measure that
the applicant shall comply with the recommendations found in the Geotechnical Engineering Report
completed by E3RA, Inc. (dated April 16, 2015) or updated report submitted at a later date.
Mitigation Measures:
a. Project construction shall be required to comply with the recommendations found in the Geotechnical
Engineering Report completed by E3RA, Inc. (dated April 16, 2015) or updated report submitted at a
later date.
b. The applicant shall apply for a Critical Area Variance, from RMC 4-3-050, Critical Areas Regulations, in
order to encroach into the protected critical slope or apply for a modification to alter the geologically
hazardous critical area in accordance with RMC 4-3-050J, prior to civil construction permit approval.
Nexus: State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Environmental Review, RMC 4-3-050 Critical Areas Regulations
and RMC 4-4-060 Grading, Excavation and Mining Regulations.
2. Air
Impacts: It is anticipated that some temporary adverse air quality impacts could be associated with site
work and building construction required to develop this site. Project development impacts during
construction may include dust as a result of grading and exhaust from construction vehicles. Dust control
would be mitigated through the use of temporary erosion control measures or other measures to re mediate
impacts as needed (Exhibit 15).
No further site specific mitigation for the identified impacts from typical vehicle and construction exhaust is
required.

3. Water
a. Water runoff (including stormwater)
Environmental Review Committee Report
LUA16-000864, ECF, PP, PPUD
Page 6 of 8
Impacts: Duncanson Company, Inc. submitted a Preliminary Technical Information Report for Sunset's Edge
Townhomes (dated October 26, 2016; revised date January 27, 2017; Exhibit 11) with the application. The
report analyzes off-site drainage and project surface water collection and distribution. According to the
report, project site basin area is 37,244 square feet or 0.86 acres. Water runoff exits the property and flows
northwest through Puget Sound Energy (PSE) property, down a well vegetated slope of less than 15 percent,
for at least 50 feet. Runoff continues west for another 200 feet before entering the stormwater conveyance
system in 1-405.
According to the drainage report, the site was previously graded and filled. The project is part of a
redevelopment of the site that removes and replaces some pavement and gravel areas with the
construction of 15 townhouse units. A new internal road and sidewalk is proposed to provide access to the
units. Runoff would be collected from the access drive, roof surfaces and some landscape areas and would
be routed to a subgrade detention tank (shown on the generalized utilities and drainage plan -Cl measuring
roughly 38 feet long by 35 feet wide; Exhibit 13) near the north end of the subject property via a piped
storm drainage system. The proposed control flow rates would match the existing conditions for the 2-, 10-,
and 100-year storm events.
As described in the drainage report, full dispersal is not considered feasible due to lack of available flow
paths and infiltration was also deemed infeasible due to fill and till soils and slope considerations. Flow
control BMPs are proposed to take the form of permeable pave rs for the internal site walkways. The project
would provide Basic Water Quality treatment in the form of a Stormfilter and provide for Peak Rate Flow
Control according to the TIR.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.
Nexus: N/A
4. Vegetation
Impacts: An Arborist Report was prepared by Arborists NW, LLC (dated October 30, 2016; Exhibit 12) and
was submitted with the land use application. The subject property contains 16 significant trees, with the
predominant species being cottonwood. Other tree species identified by the report included Big Leaf Maple,
Black Locust, Pine, and Sweet Gum with a Diameter Standard Height (DBH) ranging from 8 to 55 inches.
The applicant is required to retain 20 percent (20%) of the trees located onsite that are not located within
the proposed rights-of-way or access easements. Of the 16 significant trees within the project area, the
applicant is proposing to retain 5 trees to meet the 20% tree retention requirement (Exhibits 8, 9 and 12). As
a result, the applicant has demonstrated compliance with the Tree Retention requirements of the code.
During construction, trees required to be retained (i.e., protected trees), would be required to comply with
the tree protection measures during construction per RMC 4-4-130H.9. The eight central components of
tree protection include defining and protecting the drip line, erecting and maintaining a temporary six-foot-
high chain link construction fence with placards around the tree to be retained, protecting the tree from
grade changes, keeping the area clear of impervious surface material, restricting grading within the drip line,
providing three inches (3") of bark mulch within the required fencing, retaining a certified arborist to ensure
trees are protected from development activities, and alternate protection/safeguards as necessary.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.

5. Environmental Health
a. Noise
Environmental Review Committee Report
WA16-000B64, ECF, PP, PPUD
Page 7 of 8
Impacts: Noise impacts would primarily result from the construction of the proposed road improvements
and new structures. The construction noise would be regulated through the City's adopted noise level
regulations per Chapter 8-7, RMC. The City's noise regulations limit haul hours between 8:30 am to 3:30 pm,
Monday through Friday unless otherwise approved by the Development Services Division. Permitted work
hours in or near residential areas are restricted to the hours between seven o'clock (7:00) a.m. and eight
o'clock (8:00) p.m. for multi-family construction activities from Monday through Friday. Work on Saturdays
is restricted to the hours between nine o'clock (9:00) a.m. and eight o'clock (8:00) p.m. No work is permitted
on Sundays.
Noise impacts anticipated are anticipated to be impacts that would be commonly associated with multi-
family development.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.
Nexus: N/A
6. Aesthetics
Impacts: The 3-story duplex and 5-plex multi-family buildings would be setback from the public right-of-way
approximately 10 feet (Exhibit 4). The development transition between the existing development to the
north and the proposed multi-family structures are buffered by the landscaped public amenity area at the
NE and NW corners. The four townhomes the located near the north property edge have sloped shed roofs
that open the development and reduce the massing along the property edge. The building massing is also
articulated with balconies, designed to enhance building composition and provide amenity space.
Composite siding with textured cement would make up the exterior building materials. The project proposes
to utilize the BuiltGreen sustainable rating system to minimize the environmental impact of the
development. Site infrastructure, such as storm drainage, will be underground and designed in accordance
with Low Impact Development principles to allow for increased common open space on the subject
property.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.
Nexus:N/A
7. Transportation
Impacts: A traffic impact analysis is required when estimated vehicular traffic generated from a proposed
development exceeds 20 vehicles per hour in either the AM (6:00 -9:00) or PM (3:00 -6:00) peak periods.
Generally this includes residential plats of 20 lots or more lots. A residential project consisting of 15
townhome units is not expected to generate more that 20 new peak hour trips (as per the ITE Trip
Generation Manual); therefore, a traffic study was not required for the proposed project.
It is estimated that there would be between 300 and 430 commercial dump truck trips for import and export
of approximately 4,300 cubic yards of graded materials and structural fill to and from the project site. All
construction traffic would occur by leaving the site (turning right) and following Sunset Blvd NE to the south.
All traffic would then proceed to either turn left onto Maple Valley Highway or 1-405.
Access to the site would be provided through a private road located near the center of the site. The central
access point minimizes curb cuts onto Sunset Blvd NE, classified as a Minor Arterial Road. The access would
terminate in a hammerhead turnaround at the center of the development (Exhibit 5). This would allow for
centralization of vehicular access while also allowing sufficient developable area for the project. The

neighboring properties have all been developed so it is not anticipated that further development would
occur at this intersection.
The private internal entrance access driveway would be sloped at a 2 percent grade where it intersects with
Sunset Blvd NE, and then it would increase to a 15 percent slope through the middle section before
terminating at a 2 percent slope at the centerline of the internal lane. The internal lane has slopes between
6 and 10 percent. Access roads with slopes in excess of 15 percent must be approved by the Renton Fire
Authority.
The project would be required to complete half-street frontage improvements to Sunset Blvd NE. Street
improvements would include, but are not limited to, paving, sidewalks, curb and gutter, landscaping, bicycle
lanes, and street lighting along Sunset Blvd NE (Exhibit 13). The internal access road would be constructed as
a woonerf (a shared pedestrian and vehicular area). The typical width of the woonerf is 25 feet of asphalt
followed by a 4 to 5 foot pedestrian walkway constructed with permeable pavers. The permeable pavers are
located in the plaza area between Buildings 3 and 4, on both sides of the woonerf within the north/south
portion of the T-shaped hammerhead abutting the lots, in the off-street surface parking stall, along the
south side of the entrance road, and in the pedestrian walkways connecting the public sidewalk along
Sunset Blvd NE to the front doors of Buildings 1 and 2. The flush curbs between the two different materials
would allow shared pedestrian and vehicular movements throughout the development. On-street parking
would not be allowed on the portion of Sunset Blvd NE fronting the site or within the proposed private
access road.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.
Nexus: Not applicable.
8. Fire & Police
Impacts: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicated that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the
proposed development; subject to the condition that the applicant provides Code required improvements
and fees.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.
Nexus: Not applicable.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
ESTIMATED QUANTITIES AND TYPE OF MATERIALS OF FILL AND EXCAVATION:
Excavation is estimated to be approximately 900 cy of existing fill materials and native soils.
Structural fill is estimated to be approximately 3,400 cy. Non-structural fill is to reuse
excavation materials.
NUMBER, TYPE AND SIZE OF TREES TO BE REMOVED:
Eleven deciduous trees [species varies) are to be removed. Most trees range in size from 8"" to
18"' DBH. and one tree is 40"" DBH.
CITY DEDICATED LAND:
9.5' strip along the west property line.
PROPOSED JOB SHACK, SALES TRAILERS OR MODEL HOMES:
The job shack is to be located near the northeastern corner of the project site. No sales trailers
or model homes are anticipated.
PROPOSED CODE MODIFICATIONS:
Minimum Proposed Lot Size:
Per RMC TBL 4-2-11 O(a). townhouse lots are required to be a minimum of 25 feet wide. This
development departs from this requirement and provides townhouse lots of varying widths
ranging from 15' to 36'.
Proposed Road Right-of-Way:
Per RMC 4-6-060, a shared driveway cannot access more than (4) residential units. As the
proposed development would access more than [41 units. it cannot be served by a shared
driveway. The required public street would conform to the "limited residential access"' standard,
which requires a right-of-way width of 45". This development departs from this requirement and
proposes a 26'-0"' wide private woonerf.
Minimum Parking:
Per RMC 4-4-080, 1.6 parking spaces must be provided for each large townhouse unit. Also per
this section, up to 30% of those spaces may be compact [8x16l spaces. The remaining must be
large (9x20l spaces. This development departs from this requirement and proposes that all
parking spaces be compact. No departure is sought from the total number of required spaces.

Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental
impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if
available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the
probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to
further analyze the proposal.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: [bg[Q}
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal.
Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may
need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may
use "not applicable" or "does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and
not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional
studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the
SEPA process as well as later in the decision-making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a
period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help
describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this
checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably
related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEAD AGENCIES:
Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated
aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first
but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold
determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the
completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.

Project: Sunset's Edge Townhomes
701-707 Sunset Blvd NE
Renton, WA 98056 JAN 3 ,1 1·1 ;7
The property located at 701-707 Sunset Blvd NE in Renton, WA is composed oft1t'r~iYe'git1o'it
combining for approximately 36,000 square feet. The site is located in a wedge shaped boundary
between Interstate 405 and Sunset Blvd NE. The surrounding neighborhood consists of a variety
of residential uses. There is a single family residence and an approximately 20-unit apartment
development directly to the North. Directly to the South of the property is an undeveloped strip
of land that maintains an electrical service utility easement and will remain undeveloped. One
tow density development and a single family residence sits across the street to the East of the
site. The Site is zoned Residential Multi-Family [RMFJ and is subject to the District B overlay
outlined herein.
The proposed development plans to take advantage of territorial views to the West while
maintaining inviting and pedestrian-oriented facades along Sunset Blvd. All buildings facing
Sunset Blvd are configured to have large glass entry doors on raised stoops. To enhance the
connection to the public right of way, each entry shall be recessed from the fa~ade and contain
raised planters, a canopy and ornamental lighting that will coordinate with architectural
detailing. See figure 1a. The development transition between the North property development
is buffered by the landscaped public amenity area at the NE and NW corners. The four
town homes that rest near the north property edge have sloped shed roofs that open into the
development therefore reducing the mass along the property edge.
Building massing shall be articulated so that overhangs, balconies and roof pitches provide
visual interest at the pedestrian level and neighboring views. Balconies will be designed to
enhance building composition and provide private amenity space for each unit. Pitched roofs
shall be oriented to provide enhanced solar access for individual units as well as providing for a
composition that articulates the massing for the overall development. This project is proposing
the use of distinctive building materials to enhance the visual quality and overall massing.
Composite siding will be used in coordination with textured cement to create harmonious
compositions. The different textures will give the development a unique and quality presence
among the more traditional surrounding developments. See figure 1b and 2a

The buildings along Sunset Blvd are separated by the access driveway and pedestrian walkway,
creating a central public vehicle and pedestrian entry to the site. This central access point
minimizes curb cuts and draws attention to the activity on the interior of the site and further
articulates the massing along the main fa~ade. Pedestrian circulation is distributed throughout
the site via walkways and a woonerf that connect all of the town homes. Additionally, the
buildings located further to the west are placed lower on the slope to create architectural
interest. A corridor is provided through these buildings to draw attention to the territorial views
as people enter the site.
The development is proposing to provide private amenity space for each unit in the form of
balconies. private yards or both. Street facing balconies are provided for direct views to Sunset
Blvd. The private amenity space in coordination with the public amenity space, located at the
northwest corner, is located to enhance community awareness and promote interaction among
residents and the surrounding neighborhood. Pathways and public benches will enhance the
quality of the public amenity space through use of integrated seating and gathering spaces. A
children·s play structure may also be included in the amenity space. Where applicable. portions
of walls that are visible to the public and have no windows will be adorned with living wall
amenities to promote vertical plants and vines. See figure 1b and 2a
In addition to the design scheme already discussed, this project proposes to utilize the
BuiltGreen sustainable rating system to minimize the environmental impact of the
development. Site infrastructure. such as storm drainage, will be designed in accordance with
Low Impact Development principles.
Overall, the development proposes to meet and exceed the urban design regulations through
the measures outlined herein. The developers and design team are committed to creating a
development that will enhance the livability of the neighborhood while providing a unique
community driven experience.

As part of the Planned Urban Development process, the project proponent is required to
demonstrate that the proposed PUD complies with the intent of Renton·s zoning code. They are
also required to demonstrate that any code departures sought under the PUD would result in a
superior development than would be permitted if those departures were not granted. As noted
on sheet AO.O and in the Project Narrative, the Renton 701 Townhomes project seeks four
departures from the city zoning code. Please refer to those documents for additional
information on the following proposed departures:
• Reduction of minimum lot width
• Nonstandard access roadway
• Provision of compact parking spaces only
• Waiver of setbacks along property lines within the development
DEMONSTRATION OF COMPLIANCE AND SUPERIORITY:
Under RMC 4-9-065, townhomes may be developed in the RMF zone at a density of 20 dwelling
units per net acre, and additional dwelling units may be provided if affordable units are
constructed. The Renton 701 Townhomes project occupies three existing legal lots in this zone.
Under the code, each of these lots could be legally developed with a row of three or four
townhomes facing a shared private driveway. The units would predominantly not face the street,
and minimal landscaping area would be provided. Three curb cuts would also be required to
serve the development. Finally, such a development could be permitted as three separate
projects. This could allow the developer to avoid thresholds for installing utility improvements
across the site. Since the development would be constructed as three separate projects rather
than as three phases, there would also be no requirement that each portion of the development
be part of a larger whole.
Under the PUD, on the other hand, the entire development is to be constructed as a single,
unified project. This allows the city to require additional utility improvements, such as looped
water mains and storm drainage facilities, that might not have been required if the development
were constructed as three separate projects or phases. It also provides an opportunity to

DECISION CRITERIA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
centralize vehicular access to the site into a single curb cut and driveway, reducing traffic
impacts on Sunset Boulevard. The centralized access point also frees up additional street
frontage for town homes to face and interact with the public way. Likewise, additional area is
made available for landscaping, a woonerf, private yards and shared amenity areas.
Concerning the requirement that the development not be unduly detrimental to the neighboring
sites, the first point in favor of the proposed PUD is that it does not propose any more dwelling
units that are already permitted under the code. The units also are not located any nearer to
neighboring parcels than they would be under the code. As mentioned above, permitting this
project as a PUD allows for utility and street improvements to be designed and constructed with
the entire development in mind. The improved infrastructure should offset any impacts on the
city's utility network the development might impose.
During the community outreach meetings, it was revealed that the biggest concern of the
neighborhood is parking. In response to the clear need for parking in the area, the proposed
PUD includes 31 parking spaces rather than the code requirement of 26 (16 units• 1.61. In order
to provide this many spaces, the PUD proposes to depart from the code standard that no more
than 30% of the required parking be compact (8.5'x16'1. By providing only compact spaces, the
PUD is able to provide more parking than would be possible if large (9'x20'J spaces were
provided. This results in a better response to the community's stated need for large quantities
of off-street parking.
PUBLIC BENEFIT:
Open Space/Recreation:
The project proposes to provide two open, landscaped areas for the use of all residents in
common. These areas are located in the northwest corner and are designated for residents'
recreation. The exact nature of these areas is yet to be determined; possible uses include a
community garden or playfield. Once the likely demographics of the development's residents
are better understood, it will be determined whether the children's play structure currently
shown is the best use of this space. If it is determined that another use would be more
appropriate, this amenity area will be repurposed at that time. In any case, however, it will
remain accessible to all units in the development.

DECISION CRITERIA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
Landscaping/Screening:
In addition to the amenity areas and required landscape buffers, the proposed development
includes landscaping areas throughout the site. Planter boxes are provided at several different
locations to incorporate vegetation into the entrances of units that do not have yards.
Substantial tree planting is also proposed along the westerly margins of the site to mitigate
traffic noise from 1-405 and protect the steep slopes in the area. Finally, landscaping has been
incorporated into the woonerf running down the center of the development.
Circulation/Screening:
Finally, the proposed PUD includes a superior arrangement of access drives and parking areas
than could be required if the development were constructed as three separate projects. As
noted above, each of the three legal lots could be developed separately, and this would result in
multiple curb cuts. Under the PUD, access is centralized, minimizing impacts to the traffic flow
on Sunset Boulevard. Guest parking is also located within the development, screening it from
public view. Resident parking is provided via garages rather than a surface lot, further ensuring
that it will not become a public eyesore. Additionally, the PUD proposes that refuse collection
and storage be located within each residential unit's garage. This ensures that refuse is not
visible from the public way and obviates the need for a screened enclosure, freeing up
additional open space. As the access woonerf is designed to accommodate fire department
equipment, it should also be accessible to collection trucks.
ADDITIONAL CRITERIA:
Building and Site Design:
The development takes its context into account by reinterpreting traditional residential forms
such as pitched roofs and front porches. Variants of these forms are combined with
contemporary materials such as fiber cement siding and standing seam metal roofing to create
a modern interpretation of Renton·s existing residential neighborhoods. A variety of building
shapes, plans and architectural detail schemes is provided to avoid unnecessary repetition, and
these are scattered throughout the development to provide a sense of continuity. Structures
located along the edges of the development are sited such that roof pitches can be used to
lessen the apparent mass of the buildings, and landscape buffers are also used to provide a
transition to neighboring properties. The proposal also represents a less intense land use than
the apartments to the north and a more intense land use than the single-family neighborhood to

DECISION CRITERIA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
the southeast, providing a transition between the two. The single-family parcel to the north is
separated from the development by open space and landscaping.
Circulation:
The development proposes access via a woonerf, a shared pedestrian and vehicular area. This
allows for centralization of vehicular access while also allowing sufficient developable area for
the project. Access for emergency services is to be provided via construction of a hammerhead
turnaround at the center of the development. This location, when combined with the 25' typical
width of the woonerf, is sufficient to permit fire department access to within 1 oo· of all portions
of all buildings. It is proposed that flush curbs be used in most locations in order to permit fire
department vehicles to easily drive over interior pedestrian walkways if necessary. A visibly
different material is to be used for the walkways to ensure that motorists are aware that it is not
to be used as part of the vehicular portion of the woonerf.
Due to the topography of the site, some steep roadways are unavoidable. The proposal seeks to
minimize these by regrading significant portions of the site and providing retaining walls as
necessary. Other safety considerations of the site include providing sufficient sight distance at
the curb cut on Sunset Boulevard and avoiding difficult turning patterns. These concerns are
addressed by locating street trees and other sight-obscuring vegetation away from the curb cut
and by providing a single entry point to the site. This entry point has been located north of the
parcel's midpoint to increase its distance from the NE 7<h Street intersection to the south.
Parking is not permitted on the portion of Sunset Boulevard fronting the site contributing to
sight distance from the curb cut.
Infrastructure and Services:
As part of the PUD, the development proposes to construct a looped water main and storm
drainage detention system. This is in addition to providing water, storm and sanitary sewer
service lines to each townhouse unit. Electrical and communications lines are to be
undergrounded within the development. Connections to PSE and communication networks are
to be determined in consultation with the utility operators at a later date. A fire hydrant is also
located at the end of the woonerf to ensure that sufficient fire flow is available.
Clusters or Building Groups and Open Space:
The proposal consists of five individual structures containing two to five townhomes each. These
structures are arranged such that views through the entire site are preserved, contributing to a
feeling of openness. Impervious area is minimized, and the only paved portions of the site are
those necessary to provide vehicular and pedestrian access to the units, the guest parking area,

DECISION CRITERIA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
and a small plaza between two of the buildings. The remainder of the site consists of
landscaped areas, several of which are designed for outdoor recreation.
Privacy and Building Separation:
Several techniques are used to provide privacy to units within the development and to
neighboring properties. Where structures face each other. care will be taken to ensure that
windows, in general, do not align. Landscape buffers are also provided between the new
development and neighboring properties. Mechanical areas are located within garages to
ensure that they will not be visible to neighbors. Finally, landscaping has been provided along
the westerly margins of the site as a means of reducing traffic noise from 1-405.
Building Orientation:
The topography of the site presents the opportunity to align structures in different directions
while providing territorial views throughout the development. The majority of the townhouses
are oriented with their long axis east-west, providing these units with direct views to the west.
This orientation also provides middle units in these buildings with access to natural light during
the morning and evening hours, the most likely times for the units to be occupied. The type "o··
unit, on the other hand, is oriented north-south. This increases the amount of glazing that can
be installed on the view side of this unit and further increases its access to morning and evening
natural light.
Parking Area Design:
Parking, for the most part, is located within garages. Every unit has a private garage, thus
ensuring that all residents will have access to parking. The only surface parking on the site is
the single guest space. This space is not visible from the public way and is located north of
Building 3. This layout minimizes the visual presence of parking on the site while still providing
sufficient spaces. It is worth noting that the parking does not provide any large spaces. This
decision was made in response to community concerns that insufficient parking exists in the
neighborhood. Providing only compact spaces allowed the site to accommodate additional
parking spaces without increasing the area dedicated to parking, thus complying with the
criterion that parking be minimalized compared to typical layouts.

Dear Mr. Young:
The Planning Division of the City of Renton accepted the above master application for
review on November 15, 2016. During our review, staff has determined that additional
information is necessary in order to proceed further.
The following information will need to be submitted before March 13, 2017 so that we
may continue the review of the above subject application:
• Adequate sight distance should be provided at the street intersections. The
buildings will be required to be located outside the sight triangle lines or clear
vision area.
• Adequate corner curb turning radiuses are to be provided at the internal street
and alley intersections to meet fire department requirements. Fire department
apparatus access roadways are required to be minimum 20 feet wide fully
paved, with 25 feet inside and 45 feet outside turning radius. Adequate turning
movements for fire vehicles would not infringe upon pedestrian sidewalks.
• All internal roads to serve the Planned Urban Development project shall be
private alleys located within a tract or tracts. Update the Civil Sheets and the
Architectural Sheets to reflect the revised preliminary plat layout. An inverted
crown section is to be provided on all private alleys. As a public benefit, staff is
recommending that the alley be constructed into a Woonerf (living street), which
views the street as a social space, or shared space, rather than just a channel for
vehicular mobility. The construction details and specification should be shown in
the plans. In general, an alley is constructed of a minimum 4 inches thick HMA
over minimum 6 inches of crushed rock for the pavement layer thickness.

However, staff is also suggesting the incorporation of pavers into the overall
design.
• A Homeowners Association will be required to be established to ensure
maintenance and repair of the private alleys, sidewalks and open space is paid
for by the future residents. Update the Draft Legal Documents accordingly.
• The proposed access location from Sunset Blvd NE (approximately 86 feet north
of the south property line to the center of the drive isle) will require the access
to be restricted to a right-in right-out only driveway with c-curbing on Sunset
Blvd NE (this is because the access is located in the portion of Sunset Blvd which
has the left turn only lane marking). If the applicant wants the City to review full
access for the project, then the access location will have to be proposed further
north (away from the end of the left turn only lane on Sunset Blvd NE). If the
applicant wishes to proceed with the relocated access option, a revised sketch
labeling the distances from the nearby street intersection and from the end of
the left turn only lane should be submitted for review. If the driveway access is
relocated further to the north, full access to Sunset Blvd NE will require the
construction of a two-way left turn lane in front of the site.
• The minimum easement width for water main is 15 feet instead of the 10 feet
shown in the current submittal. No buildings or walls are allowed in water
easement.
• In order to meet the fire flow demand, a minimum 12-inch diameter water main
is required throughout the site instead of the 10-inch diameter water main
shown.
•
•
•
•
•
The 12-inch diameter water main must extend to the south property line of the
site. As shown in the plans it terminates just south of Lot 10.
A fire hydrant will be required near the dead end portion of the water main. A
minimum of four fire hydrants are required. One within 150 feet and three
within 300 feet of the proposed buildings. Existing hydrants can be counted
toward the requirement as long as they meet current code, including 5 inch storz
fittings. Fire flows that exceed 2,500 gpm require a looped main around/through
the proposed buildings or complex of buildings which is not in place at this time
and will require water main extensions/replacements.
Minimum 4-inch diameter water main extension is required in front of Lots 1-4 .
Again, a minimum 15-foot wide easement is required around the water main.
Each building (with an individual owner) shall be served by individual domestic
water meters directly in front of the lots. Double check valve assembly (DCVA) is
required at the domestic water meters since the building height exceeds 30 feet.
A pressure reducing valve will be required downstream of each water meter
because the water pressure is over 80 psi.
The domestic water meters should not be located in the driving surface as shown
in the current plans. A 5-foot by 5-foot easement is required for the individual
water meters. Water meters shall be located in planting strip or in a location that
is not a vehicular travelled surface.

• The proposed Sunset Blvd NE street section does not include the required 0.5
width for the curb. The required ROW dedication will have to be revised to
provide the 0.5 feet wide curb. Staff has also requested one (1) foot clear width
back of the sidewalk to be within the ROW. City standards include a maximum
slope of 4H:1V to a distance of 4 feet back of the sidewalk. Provided an updated
street section that shows and labels the required ROW width correctly. Also,
minimum 6 inches of crushed rock layer is to be provided below the HMA layer
in the pavement.
• The sewer main should not be located beneath the stormwater facility. Relocate
the sewer in the plans or adjust the storm water facility.
• The sewer main should not be located in the sidewalk. Please show it within the
pavement or paver portion of the alley. A minimum 15 feet wide easement
would be required to provide for the sewer main. No buildings or walls are
allowed within the sewer easement.
• The sewer main should at a minimum extend to the property lines.
• All lots should be served by individual sewer stubs.
• The TIR mentioned that Reduced Impervious Surface Credit is provided for Flow
Control BMP. The TIR incorrectly refers to the project as a "Large Lot High
Impervious Site." The proposed project is a preliminary plat PUD and proposes
individual small lots, so the stormwater flow control BMP for the individual lots
needs to be provided.
• The City Amendment of the 2009 KCSWDM includes 6 Special Requirements. The
Stormwater TIR should mention all the 6 Special requirements.
• All internal roads, alleys, surface parking for guests shall be located within a tract
or tracts. Likewise, the retaining walls being constructed to support the private
road and utilities should also be included in the tract(s) controlled and
maintained by the Homeowners Association and not the individual owners of the
lots.
• A geotechnical report based on the detailed requirements of RMC 4-8-120D.7
Table 18 is required. Including, but not limited to, information regarding water
table and soil permeability with recommendations of appropriate flow control
BMP options with typical designs for the site from the geotechnical engineer,
slope stability analysis, soil suitable/unsuitable for infiltration, recommendations
regarding the construction in protected and regulated slopes given a major
portion of the site is located in a high erosion hazard area and the entire site is
located in the high landslide area.
• In any residential district, the maximum height of any fence, hedge or retaining
wall shall be seventy two inches (72"). Terracing is the act of forming hillside into
a number of level flat areas (terraces) between retaining walls, which is often
used when the maximum height of a single retaining wall is insufficient. Please
refer to retaining wall standards (RMC 4-4-040) for additional information. For
example there shall be a minimum three-foot (3') landscaped setback at the base
of retaining walls abutting public rights-of-way. A modification request under the

Planned Urban Development application would be required to deviate from
Renton Municipal Code. In approving a planned urban development, the City
may modify any of the standards of chapter 4-2 RMC, RMC 4-3-100, chapter 4-4
RMC, RMC 4-6-060 and chapter 4-7 RMC, except as listed in subsection B3 of
RMC 4-9-150. All modifications shall be considered simultaneously as part of the
planned urban development.
• No buildings or walls should encroach into the existing public utilities (water and
sewer) easement located on the west side of the parcels (KC Recording Nos.
7709060790, 7709060791 and 7709060794).
• A strong component of the public benefit will include a great lighting plan and
sign age package for the internal private alley (Woonerf). Please provide.
• Private alleys do not have to be excluded from density. Revise and resubmit the
density worksheet based on the changes to the street classification and the
amount of right-of-way required along Sunset Blvd NE.
At this time, your project has been placed "on hold" pending receipt of the requested
information. Please contact me at (425) 430-7289 if you have any questions.

Plan Review Routing Slip
Name: Sunset's Edge Townhomes
Description: The applicant is requesting a Preliminary Planned Urban Development, Preliminary Plat and Environmental (SEPA)
Review for the construction of a 16 townhomes. The vacant 0.9 acre site is located within the Residential Multi-Family (RMF) zoning
classification and the Residential High Density (RHD) land use designation. The development would be comprised of 16 separate
multi-family residential structures resulting in a net density of 22.8 du/ac. The subject site is consists of three separate, but adjacent tax
parcels located at 701-707 Sunset Blvd NE, just northwest of its intersection with NE 7th St. The plat is proposed to be subdivided into 16
lots and 2 tracts. The applicant would dedicate 8,555 sf for public right-of-way to serve the new lots. The proposed lots would range in
size from 887 sf to 3,576 sf with an average lot size of 1,445 sf. Access to the undeveloped site is proposed via single road at the midpoint
of the development from Sunset Blvd NE. The PPUD would be used to vary development standards (such as lot size, building setbacks,
impervious surface area, and building coverage), street standards, parking requirements, and refuse and recycling. The applicant has
proposed enhanced open space, superior pedestrian and vehicular circulation, pedestrian amenities, guest parking, and landscaping as a
public benefit.
The eastern two-thirds of the site are relatively level. The western third of the site consists of a moderate to steep slope which descends
to the west at grades of 50 to 60 percent and represent an elevation change of 15 to 20 feet. There are moderate to steep slopes, high
erosion hazards, and high landslide hazards mapped in the area. The applicant has proposed to retain five (5) of the 17 significant trees
onsite. The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Technical Information Report, Arborist Report and a Geotechnical Engineering Study
with the application.

4. Adequacy of Infrastructure/Public Services. The project will be served by adequate
infrastructure and public services as follows:
A. Water and Sewer Service. Water and sanitary sewer service for the development would be
provided by the City of Renton. The development is subject to applicable water system
development charges and water meter installation fees based on the number and size of the
meters for domestic, landscape and fire sprinkler uses.
B. Fire Protection. Fire protection would be provided by the City of Renton Fire Authority.
Fire Prevention staff indicated that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the
proposed development if the applicant provides Code required improvements and fees.

The preliminary fire flow requirements for this project is 3,750 gpm. A minimum of four
(4) fire hydrants are required for the development. One (I) within 150-feet and three (3)
300-feet of the proposed buildings. Existing hydrants can be counted toward the
requirement if they meet current code, including but not limited to 5-inch Storz fittings.
A Fire Impact Fee, based on new multi-family units is required to mitigate the proposal's
potential impacts to City emergency services. The applicant would be required to pay an
appropriate Fire Impact Fee. The fee is payable to the City as specified by the Renton
Municipal Code at the time of building permit application. The 2017 fee was assessed at
$718.56 per unit.
C. Drainage. In conjunction with the City's stormwater regulations, the proposal mitigates all
significant drainage impacts. The development is subject to Full Drainage Review in
accordance with the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the
20 IO City of Renton Amendments to the KCSWDM.
The existing property does not contain storm water facilities. A stormwater flow control
facility is required for the site and the project proposes the use of detention tanks to meet
this requirement. A water quality facility is required for the site and the project proposes the
reduction from enhanced basic water quality to basic water quality requirement by providing
a covenant to prevent the use of leachable materials. The project proposes to provide basic
water quality by the use of a storm filter.
D. Parks/Open Space. The project provides for adequate parks and open space. For parks
impacts, the applicant will be paying a park impact fee, which in 2017 is assessed at
$1,858.95 per dwelling.
The applicant proposes approximately 5,881 square feet of common open space located.
The amount of open space exceeds the required 4,670 square feet the development would
be required to provide per the PUD development standard. The applicant has provided a
variety of recreation opportunities and open spaces throughout the development. The largest
recreation space is located on the northwestern portion of the property. Active spaces
include a play structure (dependent on future demographic of residents), picnic area, and
walking path. Also provided are several lawn areas, a plaza between Buildings 3 and 4, and
vegetated passive open space. Common open spaces are accessed via the development's
private alley/woonerf, which also provides an area for residents to meet and gather. The
modified alley is intended to be a shared space for vehicles and pedestrians.

E. Pedestrian Circulation. As proposed, the proposal provides for an appropriate pedestrian
circulation system that is clearly delineated and connects buildings, open space, and parking
areas with the sidewalk system and abutting properties. Permeable pedestrian pavement is
provided along the edges of the alley, the plaza area between Building 3, Building 4, and
the surface parking space.
As conditioned, landscaping is employed to enhance pedestrian facilities. Buildings I and
2 incorporate planters and landscaping in front yards between the building and street.
Additionally, planters are provided in the private alley/woonerfbetween garages. However,
there is a lack of planting at entrances for Buildings 3 and 4. Planters near entrances and/or
garages for these buildings would enhance the aesthetic for their entries and the private
alley/woonerf as a whole. Therefore, a condition of approval requires the applicant to submit
a revised landscape plan with the construction permit application that provides additional
planters where adequate space is available along Buildings 3 and 4.
F. Street Improvements. The proposal is served by adequate and appropriate street
infrastructure.
The development abuts Sunset Blvd NE, a Minor Arterial Street with an existing right of
way (ROW) width of60 feet with no curb, gutter, or sidewalk along the frontage. Access to
the site would be provided a single curb cut extended from Sunset Blvd NE. The vehicular
circulation design would utilize a private alley/woonerf that enters at the curb cut near the
center of the subject property frontage and extends north and south between the four (4)
proposed buildings. The alley dead-ends at or near the north and south perimeters. Structures
are located at least 25 feet from the intersection with Sunset Blvd NE providing adequate
site distance and clear vision area. The turning radius within the development contains a 45-
foot outside and 25-foot inside radii with hammerhead turnaround for fire apparatus
accessibility.
A residential project consisting of 15 dwelling units would generate less than 20 peak hour
trips (as per the Institute of Traffic Engineers Trip Generation Manual), therefore no traffic
impact study was required for the proposal. To mitigate transportation impacts the applicant
will be required to pay transportation impact fees per City ordinance.
The proposed development would generate approximately 87 net new average weekday
daily trips. During the weekday AM peak hour, the project would generate approximately 7
net new trips (I inbound and 6 outbound). During the weekday PM peak hour, the project
would generate approximately 8 net new trips (5 inbound and 3 outbound). The proposed

project passes the City of Renton Traffic Concurrency Test per RMC 4-6-070.D (Exhibit
24).
The applicant is requesting modification of the street standard requirements for the internal
road via the PUD application. In-lieu of providing a 45-foot wide limited residential access
street, the applicant is proposing a private alley/woonerf designed street section with
varying widths of 26 to 32 Yz feet that would comingle pedestrian and vehicle space. A
delineated pedestrian path extends along the driveway to Sunset Blvd NE to connect to the
public sidewalk that would be constructed by the applicant. This PUD modification would
provide a unique street for residents to gather and for recreation. The proposed street also
preserves additional space on the property to incorporate common open space on the north
and west portions of the site.
There are currently no frontage improvements along the public street frontage. The required
street section for this portion of Sunset Blvd NE includes a 22-foot wide half street paved
width from the centerline of the ROW (including 5-foot wide bike lane, I I-foot wide thru
travel lane, and 6-foot wide half width for the center tum/left tum lane), 0.5-foot wide curb,
8-foot wide landscaped planter, 8-foot wide sidewalk, and I-foot wide clear width back of
the sidewalk. The ROW width dedication required is approximately 9.5 feet (subject to final
survey). A center two-way left tum lane is also required to be provided on Sunset Blvd NE
frontage from the end of the existing left tum lane on Sunset Blvd NE frontage to the north
property line of parcel 311990-0011.
Schools. It is anticipated that the Renton School District can accommodate any additional
students generated by this proposal at the following schools: Kennydale Elementary,
Dimmitt Middle School, and Renton High School.
RCW 58.17.110(2) provides that no subdivision be approved without making a written
finding of adequate provision made for safe walking conditions for students who walk to
and from school and/or bus stops. All students would bus to school. The bus stop for
elementary, middle and high school is located at 821 Sunset Blvd NE. New frontage
improvements along the subject property, dedicated shoulder along the northern property's
frontage, and frontage improvements at the bus stop provide a safe walking route for
students.
A school impact fee, based on new multi-family units, will be required in order to mitigate
the proposal's potential impacts to Renton School District. The fee is payable to the City as

specified by the Renton Municipal Code at the time of building permit application. The
2017 fee is assessed at $1,448.00 per multi-family unit.
5. Adverse Impacts. There are no significant adverse impacts associated with the proposal.
Pertinent impacts are addressed individually as follows:
A. Critical Areas. The only critical area on-site is an Erosion Hazard and Landslide Area. The
subject property has been identified as an Erosion Hazard and Landslide Area by City of
Renton GIS, based on site slopes exceeding 15%. A protected slope exists along the western
margin of the site. According to the geotechnical report and the results of the soil
exploratory test pits, past fill activity spans much of the site, typically extending to 4 Y, feet
below existing grade.
A protected slope is defined as a hillside, or portion thereof, with an average slope, as
identified in the City of Renton Steep Slope Atlas or in a method approved by the City, of
forty percent (40%) or greater grade and having a minimum vertical rise of fifteen feet (15').
The applicant's geotechnical engineer identified a 5,485-square foot area of the subject
property as protected slopes. The applicant is proposing to encroach into approximately
2,025 square feet of the protected slope necessitating an alteration to the critical areas
created as a result of the private gravel U-shaped road installation created over the past
several decades. The applicant is proposing to remove the existing fill comprised of silty
sand, logs, woody debris and general refuse up to 4 Yz feet below grade from the top of the
protected slope and re-graded to less than 15 feet in vertical rise so that relief of the protected
slope would be less than 15 feet high (Exhibit 13). Therefore, a condition of approval
requires the applicant to formally apply for a critical areas variance from RMC 4-3-050 in
order to encroach into the protected critical slope or apply for a modification to alter the
geologically hazardous critical area in accordance with RMC 4-3-0501 prior to civil
construction permit approval.
The recommendations of the applicant's geotechnical report adequately protect against
erosion impacts and are made a condition of approval. The geotechnical report recommends
that no permanent slopes be steeper than 2H: IV and all permanent cut slopes and fill slopes
should be adequately inclined to reduce long-term raveling, sloughing, and erosion. The use
of flatter slopes (such as 2\lzH: l V) would further reduce long-term erosion and facilitate
revegetation. Additionally, the geotechnical report includes specific recommendations for
site preparation, spread footings, slab-on-grade floors, asphalt pavement, and structural fill.
B. Tree Retention. The proposal provides for adequate preservation of trees because it is
consistent with the City's tree retention standards. The City's tree retention standards
require the retention of 20 percent of trees in a residential development. As outlined in the
applicant's arborist report, Ex. 12, the subject property contains 16 significant trees, with
the predominant species being cottonwood. Of the 16 significant trees within the project
area, the applicant is proposing to retain 5 trees to meet the 20% tree retention requirement
(Exhibits 8, 9 and 12).

C. Compatibility. The proposed new construction and frontage improvements will be
compatible with the existing surrounding uses. The subject property abuts the RMF zone to
the north and single-family residential to the south and west. Single family residential
zoning is also across Sunset Blvd NE to the east. Buildings are setback appropriately from
abutting developed properties. To the north, a multifamily development and single-family
residential home are buffered by the developments open space and recreation area and
landscaped building setback area. The south and west properties are zoned single-family
residential. However, they are owned and operated by Puget Sound Energy and are burdened
with overhead power lines and utility easements, reducing the likelihood the properties
would be developed in the future.
Interior design is coordinated and aesthetic, thereby further enhancing compatibility with
the surrounding residential neighborhood. The proposed buildings have been designed in a
coordinated fashion, utilizing a consistent set of materials. The similar exterior components
and roof profiles across all buildings helps to establish a cohesive development design.
Differentiation throughout the design is provided with the use of different materials and
colors. The applicant is proposing the use of fiber cement board, stained cedar, aluminum,
and steel.
Buildings along Sunset Blvd NE are oriented to the street and contain pedestrian only
amenities as the buildings are rear vehicle loaded. Stoops and landscaped front yards are
provided along the street. Buildings along the private alley/woonerf are oriented to the alley
and take advantage of the pedestrian friendly space.
D. Glare. As conditioned, the proposal will not adversely affect adjoining properties with
excess glare. A lighting plan was not submitted with the application package; therefore, a
condition of approval requires the applicant to provide a lighting plan that includes a
photometric calculation of average foot candles that adequately provides for public safety
without casting excessive glare on adjacent properties. Pedestrian scale and downlighting
shall be used in all cases to assure safe pedestrian and vehicular movement.
6. Superiority in Design. As conditioned, the PUD results in a superior design than what would
result by the strict application of the City's development standards. The proposal develops three (3)
contiguous properties simultaneously into one (I) unified development that incorporates enhanced open
space and recreation opportunities, unique alley design, and street presence that would not otherwise
be possible if each property were developed individually or in phases.
7. Public Benefit. The proposal provides for numerous public benefits as outlined at pages 13-17
of the Staff Report. The applicant is proposing to utilize the BuiltGreen sustainable rating system to
minimize the environmental impact of the development. Site infrastructure, such as storm drainage,
would be designed in accordance with Low Impact Development principles. As previously noted, the
applicant proposes a significant amount of open space. Without the use of the proposed PUD, no shared
open space would be required by City regulations and if each of the three (3) parcels were developed

separately, there would likely have been no additional land area to provide any active recreation areas
and open spaces would have been limited to required perimeter landscaping.
The proposed internal street system includes a private alley that is referred to as a woonerf or "living
street." Woonerfs are a common street treatment that is used in European cities that are intended to
provide an equally shared space between pedestrians and vehicles. These streets are narrower than the
typical street section and often contain planter landscaping, pedestrian lighting, and alternative paving
materials. Also, typical with woonerfs is the absence of curbs as to further solidify the mixing of
pedestrian space and vehicle space. The proposed private alley/woonerf provides residents an attractive
and unique amenity that also doubles as an active recreation and gathering area. Opportunities for
neighbors to interact on the street can assist in creating a pride of ownership in their community.
Without the use of a PUD, the street would have likely been designed as a public limited residential
access street with a 45-foot ROW width. Required public street improvements would have resulted in
fewer opportunities for common open spaces and the loss of a unique design aesthetic. The proposal
provides for a coordinated, attractive building design and also provides for significant buffering to
neighboring properties via open space and landscaping.

14. The proposed development separates the 15 dwelling units into four (4) separate buildings that
are linked together by the private alley/woonerf internal street. This unique street and its narrow width
provides an ability to maximize space on the property and accommodate active and passive common
open space. The reduced street width, permeable pavers, and abundant open space limit the amounts of
impervious surfaces that would otherwise be utilized if the site were developed to code standards.

e. Privacy and Building Separation: Provides internal privacy between dwelling units,
and external privacy for adjacent dwelling units. Each residential or mixed use
development shall provide visual and acoustical privacy for dwelling units and
surrounding properties. Fences, insulation, walks, barriers, and landscaping are used,
as appropriate, for the protection and aesthetic enhancement of the property, the
privacy of site occupants and surrounding properties, and for screening of storage,
mechanical or other appropriate areas, and for the reduction of noise. Windows are
placed at such a height or location or screened to provide sufficient privacy. S'!fiicient
light and air are provided to each dwelling unit.
15. Perimeter planting provides a buffer and privacy screen between the proposed project and
existing development surrounding the site. Internal to the site, where structures face each other,
windows would not align to ensure privacy. The proposed development would be designed to building
code standards for multi-family construction. Each residential unit would have a separate exterior
entrance with insulated walls separating the units. All residential units would have access to light and
air, as each structure contains windows. The placement of the buildings, oriented to open space,
provides separation and privacy for die residents while maintaining a communal atmosphere.

g. Parking Area Design: Provides parking areas that are complemented by landscaping
and not designed in long rows. The size of parking areas is minimized in comparison to
typical designs, and each area related to the group of buildings served. The design
provides for efficient use of parking, and shared parking facilities where appropriate.
17. Nearly all the parking will be located within individual garages for each unit. One surface
parking space would be provided on the north portion of the property for guest parking. The parking
space would be surfaced with the woonerf paver material and hidden from view by topography and the
location of the buildings.
RMC 4-9-150(0)(4): Each planned urban development shall demonstrate compliance with the
development standards contained in subsection E of this Section, the underlying zone, and any overlay
districts; unless a modification for a specific development standard has been requested pursuant to
subsection B2 of this Section.
18. As discussed below, the proposal complies with all development standards imposed by RMC
4-9-l 50(E). The proposal is compliant with the standards of the underlying RMF zone for the reasons
identified in Finding of Fact No. 22 of the Staff Report. As a project located in the RMF zone, the
project is in the District B design district as regulated by RMC 4-3-100. For the reasons identified in
Finding of Fact No. 28 of the Staff Report, the proposal is consistent with all District B design
standards.
RMC 4-9-lSO(E)(l): Common Open Space Standard: Open space shall be concentrated in large
usable areas and may be designed to provide either active or passive recreation. Requirements for
residential, mixed use, commercial, and industrial developments are described below.
a 1. Residential: For residential developments open space must equal at least ten percent (I 0%)
of the development site's gross land area.
i. Open space may include, but is not limited to, the following:
' The Staff Report concludes at page 21 that only 750 square feet is required for the proposal. This is apparently based
25 upon the application ofRMC 4-9-ISO(E)(l)(b) to the proposal. However, RMC 4-9-lSO(E)(l)(b) only applies to mixed
use developments. Since the proposal is exclusively a residential development, RMC -9-ISO(E)(l)(a) applies to it and
26 required a minimum of 4,670 square feet of open space.

(a) A trail that allows opportunity for passive recreation within a critical area
buffer (only the square footage of the trail shall be included in the open space
area calculation), or
(b) A sidewalk and its associated landscape strip, when abutting the edge of a
critical area buffer and when a part of a new public or private road, or
(c) A similar proposal as approved by the reviewing official.
ii. Additionally, a minimum area equal to fifty (50) square feet per unit of common space
or recreation area shall be provided in a concentrated space as illustrated in Figure I.
19. The Staff Report notes that the project site is 0.9 acres in size. I 0% of such an area would be
3,920 square feet of open spaces. Additional open space at 50 square feet per dwelling unit is also
required, for total required open space of 4,670 square feet. The applicant proposes 5,881 square feet
of open space, which clearly exceeds minimum requirements. More than 750 square feet of that open
space is concentrated on the northwest side of the project site, as required by RMC 4-9-l 50(E)( I )(c )(ii).
RMC 4-9-150(E)(2): Private Open Space: Each residential unit in a planned urban development
shall have usable private open space (in addition to parking, storage space, lobbies, and corridors) for
the exclusive use of the occupants of that unit. Each ground floor unit, whether attached or detached,
shall have private open space which is contiguous to the unit. The private open space shall be well
demarcated and at least fifteen feet (I 5') in every dimension (decks on upper floors can substitute for
the required private open space). For dwelling units which are exclusively upper story units, there shall
be deck areas totaling at least sixty (60) square feet in size with no dimension less than five feet (5').
20. In Ex. 28, the applicant proposes a compliance strategy for RMC 4-9-150(E)(2) that is unique.
Given that PUDs encourage flexibility, the applicant's creative approach is found to be comply with
the private open space requirements of RMC 4-9-l 50(E)(2). For some units, the applicant proposes to
comply with the 225-foot ground floor requirement by transferring some of the required square feet to
upper deck space. That is clearly authorized by RMC 4-9-l 50(E)(2) and is found compliant. The
applicant also proposes to have some units that have the ground floor composed exclusively of garage
space to be treated as "upper story units" for purposes of private open space requirements. That is a
little more problematical, since those units would not be commonly understood to be upper story units.
However, from the standpoint of open space usage and accessibility, there is no meaningful difference
between a ground floor unit with first story parking garage and an upper story unit with detached garage
space. For that reason, the applicant can treat units with ground floor garage space as upper story units
for purposes of RMC 4-9-l 50(E)(2). Finally, the applicant also proposes to use some woonerf space
to count towards the private open space of one unit by dedicating a planter in the woonerfto the unit to
be used as a flower or vegetable garden. As Staff has found this to be an acceptable use of woonerf
space, the proposed planter will also be allowed to count towards required private open space.

RMC 4-7-0SO(B): A subdivision shall be consistent with the following principles of acceptability:
24.
]_ Legal Lots.· Create legal building sites which comply with all provisions of the City Zoning
Code.
2. Access: Establish access to a public road for each segregated parcel.
3. Physical Characteristics: Have suitable physical characteristics. A proposed plat may be
denied because of flood, inundation, or wetland Conditions. Construction of protective
improvements may be required as a Condition of approval, and such improvements shall be
noted on the final plat.
4. Drainage: Make adequate provision for drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways,
water supplies and sanitary wastes.
As modified by the PUD regulations, the lots will comply with all requirements of the Zoning
Code. As shown in the site plan, Ex. 4, all lots have access to Sunset Blvd. NE, a public road, via a
woonerf. The project is not located within a floodplain and there are no wetlands or streams impacted.
As determined in Finding of Fact No. 4, the project makes adequate provision for drainage ways,
streets, alleys, other public ways, water supplies and sanitary wastes.
RMC 4-7-080(1)(1): ... The Hearing Examiner shall assure conformance with the general purposes
of the Comprehensive Plan and adopted standards ...
25. The proposed preliminary plat is consistent with the Renton Comprehensive Plan as outlined in
Finding 21 of the Staff Report.
RMC 4-7-120(A): No plan for the replatting, subdivision, or dedication of any areas shall be approved
by the Hearing Examiner unless the streets shown therein are connected by surfaced road or street
(according to City specifications) to an existing street or highway.
26. The internal woonerf/private alley connects to Sunset Blvd NE, an existing public street. As
modified by the PUD, the woonerf/private alley is consistent with City standards.
RMC 4-7-120(B): The location of all streets shall conform to any adopted plans/or streets in the City.
22 27. The criterion is met. The Staff Report and administrative record do not identify any applicable
23

street plan or grid system that would compel the connection of the interior streets to any other roads
beyond Sunset Blvd NE. The aerial photo on page I of the Staff Report shows that there are no other
roads in proximity to the project that could be feasibly extended to the project.
RMC 4-7-120(C): If a subdivision is located in the area of an officially designed trail, provisions shall
be made for reservation of the right-of-way or for easements to the City for trail purposes.

page 1 of the Staff Report.
RMC 4-7-130(C): A plat, short plat, subdivision or dedication shall be prepared in conformance with
the following provisions:
I. Land Unsuitable for Subdivision: Land which is found to be unsuitable for subdivision
includes land with features likely to be harmful to the safety and general health of the future
residents (such as lands adversely affected by flooding, steep slopes, or rock formations). Land
which the Department or the Hearing Examiner considers inappropriate for subdivision shall
not be subdivided unless adequate safeguards are provided against these adverse Conditions.
a. Flooding/Inundation: If any portion of the land within the boundary of a preliminary
plat is subject to flooding or inundation, that portion of the subdivision must have the
approval of the State according to chapter 86.16 RCW before the Department and the
Hearing Examiner shall consider such subdivision.
b. Steep Slopes: A plat, short plat, subdivision or dedication which would result in the
creation of a lot or lots that primarily have slopes forty percent (40%) or greater as
measured per RMC 4-3-050Jla, without adequate area at lesser slopes upon which
development may occur, shall not be approved.
3. Land Clearing and Tree Retention: Shall comply with RMC 4-4-130, Tree Retention and Land
Clearing Regulations.
18 29. As noted in Finding of Fact No. 5, there are no critical areas at the project site except for an
19
20

erosion/slope hazard, which has been fully addressed and mitigated in the applicant's geotechnical
report as further discussed in Finding of Fact No. 5. As further determined in Finding of Fact No. 5,
the proposal complies with the City's tree retention standards. Given these factors, as mitigated by the
recommendations in the geotechnical report, the project area is suitable for subdivision as required by
RMC 4-7-130(C).
RMC 4-7-140: Approval of all subdivisions located in either single family residential or multi-family
residential zones as defined in the Zoning Code shall be contingent upon the subdivider 's dedication
of/and or providingfees in lieu of dedication to the City, all as necessary to mitigate the adverse effects
of development upon the existing park and recreation service levels. The requirements and procedures
25 for this mitigation shall be per the City of Renton Parks Mitigation Resolution.

of park impact fees and exceeds open space requirements.
RMC 4-7-lSO(A): The proposed street system shall extend and create connections between existing
streets unless otherwise approved by the Public Works Department. Prior to approving a street system
that does not extend or connect, the Reviewing Official shall find that such exception shall meet the
requirements of subsection E3 of this Section. The roadway classifications shall be as defined and
designated by the Department.
31. As discussed in Conclusion of Law No. 27, the only street that the project could connect to is
Sunset Blvd NE.
RMC 4-7-ISO(B): All proposed street names shall be approved by the City.
32. As conditioned.
RMC 4-7-ISO(C): Streets intersecting with existing or proposed public highways, major or secondary
11 arterials shall be held to a minimum.

RMC 4-7-ISO(D): The alignment of all streets shall be reviewed and approved by the Public Works
Department. The street standards set by RMC 4-6-060 shall apply unless otherwise approved. Street
alignment offsets of less than one hundred twenty-five feet (l 25~ are not desirable, but may be approved
by the Department upon a showing of need but only after provision of all necessary safety measures.
34. The criterion is met. Public works staff has reviewed the street alignment and consistency with
RMC 4-6-060 and recommends approval of the PUD. The project does not include a street alignment
offset of more than 125 feet.
RMC 4-7-ISO(E):
I. Grid: A grid street pattern shall be used to connect existing and new development and shall
be the predominant street pattern in any subdivision permitted by this Section.
2. Linkages: Linkages, including streets, sidewalks, pedestrian or bike paths, shall be provided
within and between neighborhoods when they can create a continuous and interconnected
network of roads and pathways. Implementation of this requirement shall comply with
Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element Objective T-A and Policies T-9 through T-16 and
Community Design Element, Objective CD-Mand Policies CD-50 and CD-60.

a. The grid pa/tern may be adjusted to a ''flexible grid" by reducing the number of"
linkages or the alignment between roads, where the following factors are present on
site:
i. Infeasible due to topographical/environmental constraints; and/or
ii. Substantial improvements are existing.
4. Connections: Prior to adoption of a complete grid street plan, reasonable connections that
link existing portions of the grid system shall be made. At a minimum, stub streets shall be
required within subdivisions to allow future connectivity.
5. Alley Access: Alley access is the preferred street pattern except for properties in the
Residential Low Density land use designation. The Residential Low Density land use
designation includes the RC, R-1. and R-4 zones. Prior to approval of a plat without alley
access, the Reviewing Official shall evaluate an alley layout and determine that the use of
alley(.5) is not feasible ...
6. Alternative Configurations: Off.set or loop roads are the preferred alternative configurations.
7. Cul-de-Sac Streets: Cul-de-sac streets may only be permitted by the Reviewing Official where
due to demonstrable physical constraints no future connection to a larger street pattern is
physically possible.
The criterion is met. As discussed in Conclusion of Law No. 27 there are no roads other than
Sunset Blvd NE with which the project could connect. A grid pattern connecting to other roads is not
possible because intervening Jots are developed or are unlikely to be developed because of power lines
and utility easements.
RMC 4-7-lSO(F): All adjacent rights-of-way and new rights-of-way dedicated as part of the plat,
including streets, roads, and alleys, shall be graded to their full width and the pavement and sidewalks
shall be constructed as specified in the street standards or deferred by the Planning/Building/Public
Works Administrator or his/her designee.
36. The only new right of way that will be dedicated to the City is added right of way for Sunset
Blvd NE for required street frontage improvements. Required improvements will be paved to the full
width required for the applicant's half of the street pursuant to applicable City standards.
RMC 4-7-lSO(G): Streets that may be extended in the event of future adjacent platting shall be
required to be dedicated to the plat boundary line. Extensions of greater depth than an average lot
shall be improved with temporary turnarounds. Dedication of a full-width boundary street shall be
required in certain instances to facilitate future development.

37. As discussed in Conclusion of Law No. 35 there are no feasible or legal street connections that
can be required other than to Sunset Blvd NE.
4-7-160(A): Blocks shall be deep enough to allow two (2) tiers of lots, except where:
I. Abutting principal arterials defined in the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive
Plan
2. The location and extent of environmental constraints prevent a standard plat land
configuration, including size and shape of the parcel.
3. Prior to approval of single-tier lot configuration based on exceptions I and 2, the proponent
must demonstrate that a different layout or provisions of an alley system is not feasible.
38. As noted in the Staff Report, the project site is not wide enough to accommodate a two-tiered
lot configuration. The width limitations of the lot are construed as an "environmental constraint" that
qualifies the project as exempt from the two-tier requirement under RMC 4-7-160(A)(2). Although the
shape of a lot is typically not considered to be an "environmental constraint", the reference to "size and
shape" within RMC 4-7-160(A)(2) establish an intent to broadly construe the term. Further, it is
reasonable to conclude that the City Council must have recognized that not all lots are shaped for two-
tiered subdivisions and that it would be a waste of resources to require an applicant to go through a
variance process in such instances.
4-7-160(8): Where circumstances warrant, the Reviewing Official may require one or more public
crosswalks or walkways of not less than six feet (6') in width dedicated to the City to extend entirely
across the width of the block at locations deemed necessary. Such crosswalks or walkways shall be
17 paved for their entire width and length with a permanent surface and shall be adequately lighted al the
18 developer's cost.
19 39. It's not entirely clear from the site plans whether or where any crosswalks will be located. It's
20
21
22
23
24
25
26
likely that the issue will be addressed during final engineering, but since cross-walks are one of the
standards imposed by the subdivision code (as opposed to street design standards or the like), the
conditions of approval will require that the applicant install cross-walks as determined by public works
to be necessary for public safety and compliance with City development standards. It is recognized that
the woonerfis designed to allow pedestrian access in all areas, but it is not clear from the record whether
a cross walk would be necessary to cross Sunset Blvd NE.
RMC 4-7-l 70(A): Insofar as practical, side lot lines shall be at right angles to street lines or radial
to curved street lines.

RMC 4-7-170(B): Each lot must have access to a public street or road. Access may be by private
access easement street per the requirements of the street standards.
41. Each lot will have access to Sunset Blvd NE via the private internal roads.
RMC 4-7-170(C): The size, shape, and orientation of lots shall meet the minimum area and width
requirements of the applicable zoning classification and shall be appropriate for the type of
development and use contemplated. Further subdivision of lots within a plat approved through the
6 provisions of this Chapter must be consistent with the then-current applicable maximum density
7

requirement as measured within the plat as a whole.
42. As previously noted, as modified by this PUD decision the proposal meets all applicable lot and
density standards.
RMC 4-7-l 70(D): Width between side lot lines at their foremost points (i.e., the points where the side
lot lines intersect with the street right-of-way line) shall not be less than eighty percent (80%) of the
required lot width except in the cases of (I) pipestem lots, which shall have a minimum width of twenty

46. The only natural features that need to be preserved are significant trees, which the applicant has
done beyond the requirements of the City's tree retention regulations as determined in Finding of Fact
No. 5.
RMC 4-7-200(A): Unless septic tanks are specifically approved by the Public Works Department and
the King County Health Department, sanitary sewers shall be provided by the developer at no cost to

DECISION CRITERIA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
Project: Sunset's Edge Townhomes
701-707 Sunset Blvd NE
Renton, WA 98056
INTRODUCTION:
As part of the Planned Urban Development process, the project proponent is required to
demonstrate that the proposed PUD complies with the intent of Renton·s zoning code. They are
also required to demonstrate that any code departures sought under the PUD would result in a
superior development than would be permitted if those departures were not granted. As noted
on sheet AO.O and in the Project Narrative, the Renton 701 Town homes project seeks four
departures from the city zoning code. Please refer to those documents for additional
information on the following proposed departures:
• Reduction of minimum lot width
• Nonstandard access roadway
• Provision of compact parking spaces only
• Waiver of setbacks along property lines within the development
DEMONSTRATION OF COMPLIANCE AND SUPERIORITY:
Under RMC 4-9-065, townhomes may be developed in the RMF zone at a density of 20 dwelling
units per net acre, and additional dwelling units may be provided if affordable units are
constructed. The Renton 701 Townhomes project occupies three existing legal lots in this zone.
Under the code, each of these lots could be legally developed with a row of three or four
town homes facing a shared private driveway. The units would predominantly not face the street,
and minimal landscaping area would be provided. Three curb cuts would also be required to
serve the development. Finally, such a development could be permitted as three separate
projects. This could allow the developer to avoid thresholds for installing utility improvements
across the site. Since the development would be constructed as three separate projects rather
than as three phases, there would also be no requirement that each portion of the development
be part of a larger whole.
Under the PUD, on the other hand, the entire development is to be constructed as a single,
unified project. This allows the city to require additional utility improvements, such as looped
water mains and storm drainage facilities, that might not have been required if the development
were constructed as three separate projects or phases. It also provides an opportunity to

DECISION CRITERIA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
centralize vehicular access to the site into a single curb cut and driveway, reducing traffic
impacts on Sunset Boulevard. The centralized access point also frees up additional street
frontage for townhomes to face and interact with the public way. Likewise, additional area is
made available for landscaping, a woonerf, private yards and shared amenity areas.
Concerning the requirement that the development not be unduly detrimental to the neighboring
sites, the first point in favor of the proposed PUD is that it does not propose any more dwelling
units that are already permitted under the code. The units also are not located any nearer to
neighboring parcels than they would be under the code. As mentioned above, permitting this
project as a PUD allows for utility and street improvements to be designed and constructed with
the entire development in mind. The improved infrastructure should offset any impacts on the
city's utility network the development might impose.
During the community outreach meetings, it was revealed that the biggest concern of the
neighborhood is parking. In response to the clear need for parking in the area, the proposed
PUD includes 31 parking spaces rather than the code requirement of 26 (16 units• 1.6). In order
to provide this many spaces, the PUD proposes to depart from the code standard that no more
than 30% of the required parking be compact (8.5'x16l By providing only compact spaces, the
PUD is able to provide more parking than would be possible if large Wx20·1 spaces were
provided. This results in a better response to the community's stated need for large quantities
of off-street parking.
PUBLIC BENEFIT:
Open Space/Recreation:
The project proposes to provide two open, landscaped areas for the use of all residents in
common. These areas are located in the northwest corner and are designated for residents·
recreation. The exact nature of these areas is yet to be determined: possible uses include a
community garden or playfield. Once the likely demographics of the development's residents
are better understood, it will be determined whether the children's play structure currently
shown is the best use of this space. If it is determined that another use would be more
appropriate, this amenity area will be repurposed at that time. In any case, however, it will
remain accessible to all units in the development.

DECISION CRITERIA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
Landscaping/Screening:
In addition to the amenity areas and required landscape buffers, the proposed development
includes landscaping areas throughout the site. Planter boxes are provided at several different
locations to incorporate vegetation into the entrances of units that do not have yards.
Substantial tree planting is also proposed along the westerly margins of the site to mitigate
traffic noise from 1-405 and protect the steep slopes in the area. Finally, landscaping has been
incorporated into the woonerf running down the center of the development.
C ircu latio n/Screen i ng:
Finally, the proposed PUD includes a superior arrangement of access drives and parking areas
than could be required if the development were constructed as three separate projects. As
noted above, each of the three legal lots could be developed separately, and this would result in
multiple curb cuts. Under the PUD, access is centralized, minimizing impacts to the traffic flow
on Sunset Boulevard. Guest parking is also located within the development, screening it from
public view. Resident parking is provided via garages rather than a surface lot, further ensuring
that it will not become a public eyesore. Additionally, the PUD proposes that refuse collection
and storage be located within each residential unit's garage. This ensures that refuse is not
visible from the public way and obviates the need for a screened enclosure, freeing up
additional open space. As the access woonerf is designed to accommodate fire department
equipment, it should also be accessible to collection trucks.
ADDITIONAL CRITERIA:
Building and Site Design:
The development takes its context into account by reinterpreting traditional residential forms
such as pitched roofs and front porches. Variants of these forms are combined with
contemporary materials such as fiber cement siding and standing seam metal roofing to create
a modern interpretation of Renton·s existing residential neighborhoods. A variety of building
shapes, plans and architectural detail schemes is provided to avoid unnecessary repetition, and
these are scattered throughout the development to provide a sense of continuity. Structures
located along the edges of the development are sited such that roof pitches can be used to
lessen the apparent mass of the buildings, and landscape buffers are also used to provide a
transition to neighboring properties. The proposal also represents a less intense land use than
the apartments to the north and a more intense land use than the single-family neighborhood to

DECISION CRITERIA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
the southeast, providing a transition between the two. The single-family parcel to the north is
separated from the development by open space and landscaping.
Circulation:
The development proposes access via a woonerf, a shared pedestrian and vehicular area. This
allows for centralization of vehicular access while also allowing sufficient developable area for
the project. Access for emergency services is to be provided via construction of a hammerhead
turnaround at the center of the development. This location, when combined with the 25' typical
width of the woonerf, is sufficient to permit fire department access to within 100' of all portions
of all buildings. It is proposed that flush curbs be used in most locations in order to permit fire
department vehicles to easily drive over interior pedestrian walkways if necessary. A visibly
different material is to be used for the walkways to ensure that motorists are aware that it is not
to be used as part of the vehicular portion of the woonerf.
Due to the topography of the site, some steep roadways are unavoidable. The proposal seeks to
minimize these by regrading significant portions of the site and providing retaining walls as
necessary. Other safety considerations of the site include providing sufficient sight distance at
the curb cut on Sunset Boulevard and avoiding difficult turning patterns. These concerns are
addressed by locating street trees and other sight-obscuring vegetation away from the curb cut
and by providing a single entry point to the site. This entry point has been located north of the
parcel's midpoint to increase its distance from the NE 7th Street intersection to the south.
Parking is not permitted on the portion of Sunset Boulevard fronting the site contributing to
sight distance from the curb cut.
Infrastructure and Services:
As part of the PUD, the development proposes to construct a looped water main and storm
drainage detention system. This is in addition to providing water, storm and sanitary sewer
service lines to each townhouse unit. Electrical and communications lines are to be
undergrounded within the development. Connections to PSE and communication networks are
to be determined in consultation with the utility operators at a later date. A fire hydrant is also
located at the end of the woonerf to ensure that sufficient fire flow is available.
Clusters or Building Groups and Open Space:
The proposal consists of five individual structures containing two to five townhomes each. These
structures are arranged such that views through the entire site are preserved, contributing to a
feeling of openness. Impervious area is minimized. and the only paved portions of the site are
those necessary to provide vehicular and pedestrian access to the units, the guest parking area,

DECISION CRITERIA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
and a small plaza between two of the buildings. The remainder of the site consists of
landscaped areas, several of which are designed for outdoor recreation.
Privacy and Building Separation:
Several techniques are used to provide privacy to units within the development and to
neighboring properties. Where structures face each other, care will be taken to ensure that
windows, in general, do not align. Landscape buffers are also provided between the new
development and neighboring properties. Mechanical areas are located within garages to
ensure that they will not be visible to neighbors. Finally, landscaping has been provided along
the westerly margins of the site as a means of reducing traffic noise from 1-405.
Building Orientation:
The topography of the site presents the opportunity to align structures in different directions
while providing territorial views throughout the development. The majority of the townhouses
are oriented with their long axis east-west, providing these units with direct views to the west.
This orientation also provides middle units in these buildings with access to natural light during
the morning and evening hours, the most likely times for the units to be occupied. The type "D"
unit, on the other hand, is oriented north-south. This increases the amount of glazing that can
be installed on the view side of this unit and further increases its access to morning and evening
natural light.
Parking Area Design:
Parking, for the most part, is located within garages. Every unit has a private garage, thus
ensuring that all residents will have access to parking. The only surface parking on the site is
the single guest space. This space is not visible from the public way and is located north of
Building 3. This layout minimizes the visual presence of parking on the site while still providing
sufficient spaces. It is worth noting that the parking does not provide any large spaces. This
decision was made in response to community concerns that insufficient parking exists in the
neighborhood. Providing only compact spaces allowed the site to accommodate additional
parking spaces without increasing the area dedicated to parking, thus complying with the
criterion that parking be minimalized compared to typical layouts.

Project: Sunset's Edge Townhomes
701-707 Sunset Blvd NE
Renton, WA 98056
The property located at 701-707 Sunset Blvd NE in Renton, WA is composed of three legal lots
combining for approximately 36,000 square feet. The site is located in a wedge shaped boundary
between Interstate 405 and Sunset Blvd NE. The surrounding neighborhood consists of a variety
of residential uses. There is a single family residence and an approximately 20-unit apartment
development directly to the North. Directly to the South of the property is an undeveloped strip
of land that maintains an electrical service utility easement and will remain undeveloped. One
low density development and a single family residence sits across the street to the East of the
site. The Site is zoned Residential Multi-Family IRMFJ and is subject to the District B overlay
outlined herein.
The proposed development plans to take advantage of territorial views to the West while
maintaining inviting and pedestrian-oriented facades along Sunset Blvd. All buildings facing
Sunset Blvd are configured to have large glass entry doors on raised stoops. To enhance the
connection to the public right of way, each entry shall be recessed from the fa~ade and contain
raised planters. a canopy and ornamental lighting that will coordinate with architectural
detailing. See figure 1a. The development transition between the North property development
is buffered by the landscaped public amenity area at the NE and NW corners. The four
town homes that rest near the north property edge have sloped shed roofs that open into the
development therefore reducing the mass along the property edge.
Building massing shall be articulated so that overhangs, balconies and roof pitches provide
visual interest at the pedestrian level and neighboring views. Balconies will be designed to
enhance building composition and provide private amenity space for each unit. Pitched roofs
shall be oriented to provide enhanced solar access for individual units as well as providing for a
composition that articulates the massing for the overall development. This project is proposing
the use of distinctive building materials to enhance the visual quality and overall massing.
Composite siding will be used in coordination with textured cement to create harmonious
compositions. The different textures will give the development a unique and quality presence
among the more traditional surrounding developments. See figure 1b and 2a

The buildings along Sunset Blvd are separated by the access driveway and pedestrian walkway,
creating a central public vehicle and pedestrian entry to the site. This central access point
minimizes curb cuts and draws attention to the activity on the interior of the site and further
articulates the massing along the main fa~ade. Pedestrian circulation is distributed throughout
the site via walkways and a woonerf that connect all of the townhomes. Additionally, the
buildings located further to the west are placed lower on the slope to create architectural
interest. A corridor is provided through these buildings to draw attention to the territorial views
as people enter the site.
The development is proposing to provide private amenity space for each unit in the form of
balconies, private yards or both. Street facing balconies are provided for direct views to Sunset
Blvd. The private amenity space in coordination with the public amenity space, located at the
northwest corner, is located to enhance community awareness and promote interaction among
residents and the surrounding neighborhood. Pathways and public benches will enhance the
quality of the public amenity space through use of integrated seating and gathering spaces. A
children's play structure may also be included in the amenity space. Where applicable, portions
of walls that are visible to the public and have no windows will be adorned with living wall
amenities to promote vertical plants and vines. See figure lb and 2a
In addition to the design scheme already discussed, this project proposes to utilize the
BuiltGreen sustainable rating system to minimize the environmental impact of the
development. Site infrastructure, such as storm drainage, will be designed in accordance with
Low Impact Development principles.
Overall, the development proposes to meet and exceed the urban design regulations through
the measures outlined herein. The developers and design team are committed to creating a
development that will enhance the livability of the neighborhood while providing a unique
community driven experience.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
ESTIMATED QUANTITIES AND TYPE OF MATERIALS OF FILL AND EXCAVATION:
Excavation is estimated to be approximately 900 cy of existing fill materials and native soils.
Structural fill is estimated to be approximately 3,400 cy. Non-structural fill is to reuse
excavation materials.
NUMBER. TYPE AND SIZE OF TREES TO BE REMOVED:
Eleven deciduous trees !species varies! are to be removed. Most trees range in size from 8" to
18'" DBH. and one tree is 40·· DBH.
CITY DEDICATED LAND:
8' strip along the west property line and 6,913 sf of public road right-of-way within the site.
PROPOSED JOB SHACK, SALES TRAILERS OR MODEL HOMES:
The job shack is to be located near the northeastern corner of the project site. No sales trailers
or model homes are anticipated.
PROPOSED CODE MODIFICATIONS:
Minimum Proposed Lot Size:
Per RMC TBL 4-2-110(a), townhouse lots are required to be a minimum of 25 feet wide. This
development departs from this requirement and provides townhouse lots of varying widths
ranging from 15' to 36'.
Proposed Road Right-of-Way:
Per RMC 4-6-060, a shared driveway cannot access more than 141 residential units. As the
proposed development would access more than 141 units, it cannot be served by a shared
driveway. The required public street would conform to the "limited residential access" standard,
which requires a right-of-way width of 45'. This development departs from this requirement and
proposes a 26' -0" wide private roadway.
Minimum Parking:
Per RMC 4-4-080, 1.6 parking spaces must be provided for each large townhouse unit. Also per
this section, up to 30% of those spaces may be compact l8x161 spaces. The remaining must be
large l9x20l spaces. This development departs from this requirement and proposes that all
parking spaces be compact. No departure is sought from the total number of required spaces.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
Setbacks:
Per RMC table 4-2-11 OA, townhouse developments are required to provide 1 o· front and rear
yards, 5' side yards on unattached sides and no setback on attached sides. As a whole. this
development provides the required setbacks. However, it departs from this requirement and
does not provide setbacks within the interior of the development.
Refuse Enclosure:
Per RMC 4-4-090, all residential development except single-family houses and duplexes is
required to provide a centralized collection and storage point for refuse. This project departs
from this standard and proposes refuse storage in each unit's private garage.
Refer to attached Project Compliance Statement for departure justification.
PROXIMITY TO STREAM OR WETLAND:
No streams or wetlands are within 100 feet of the proposed development.

! NOTE: The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary is preliminary and
non-binding and may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official city decision-makers.
: Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning, code changes, and other design
1 changes required by City staff or made by the applicant.
-. ------------------. ----------· ..
I have completed a preliminary review for the above-referenced proposal. The following comments are
based on the pre-application submittal made to the City of Renton by the applicant.
WATER
The proposed development is within the City of Renton 435-pressure zone water service area and it is
outside of the City's Aquifer Protection Area. There is an existing 12-inch water main in Sunset Blvd NE
{W-0274) that can deliver 5,500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure. There is an existing 8-inch water stub
(W-2742) ending along the north property line. The static water pressure is about 112 psi at ground
elevation of 176 feet.
Based on the project information submitted by the applicant for the pre-application meeting for the
proposed development, the City's Fire Prevention Department has yet to determine the preliminary fire
flow demand for the proposed development.
In order to provide water service for domestic and for fire protection {for firef\ow demand of 3,750 gpm
for non-sprinklered buildings -the requirements may change if the fire flow demand determination by
fire department requires larger fire flow), the following improvements will be required per City Code
and Development standards (RMC 4-6-010B):
1. Installation of a 10-inch water main within the new private access roads connecting to the existing
12-inch water main in Sunset Blvd NE at 2 locations {north and south).
2. Installation of a 10-inch water main from the north access road and connecting to the existing 8-inch
water stub along the north property line.
3. A 15-foot wide utility easement will be required for the new water main and appurtenances.

4. Installation of fire hydrant(s) as required by Renton Fire Prevention. The number and location of the
hydrants shall be determined based on the City's review of the final building plans and site plan.
5. Installation of a separate domestic water meter for each townhome unit with a double check valve
assembly (DCVA) behind each meter. The sizing of the domestic water meters shall be done in
accordance with Chapter 6 of Uniform Plumbing Code. A pressure reducing-valve will be required
downstream of each water meter because the water pressure is over 80psi.
6. Installation of a landscape irrigation meter and double check valve assembly (DCVA), if applicable.
7. Civil plans for the water main improvements will be required and must be prepared by a
professional engineer registered in the State of Washington. Please refer to City of Renton General
Design and Construction Standards for Water Main Extensions as shown in Appendix J of the City's
2012 Water System Plan.
8, The development is subject to water system development charges and meter installation fees based
on the size of the water meters and of the fire sprinkler stub(s), if applicable.
SANITARY SEWER
1. Sewer service is provided by the City of Renton. There is an existing 8 inch diameter sewer main
(S-0240) in the west side of tax lot #3119900011, to which the 8 inch diameter sewer extension for
the project can connect to. The applicant may need to provide an access road/easement (utility) to
the City of Renton for accessing the existing SSMH.
2. System development fee for sewer is based on the size of the new domestic water meter(s). Sewer
fee for a %-inch water meter or a 1-inch meter is $2,135.00.
STORMWATER
1. A drainage plan and drainage report will be required with the land use application. The report shall
comply with the 2009 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual Amendment to the 2009 King
County Surface Water Design Manual. Based on the City's flow control map, this site falls within the
Peak Rate Flow Control Standard (Existing Site Condition).
2. Major portion of the site is located in a high erosion hazard area.
3. The entire site is located in the high landslide area.
4. The site has regulated slopes including protected slopes (between 40% to 90% slopes), sensitive
slopes (between 25% to 40% slopes). and slopes lesser than 25%.
5. A geotechnical report based on RMC 4-8-120.D.7 containing all information shown in Table 18,
separated into sections is required. Information regarding water table and soil permeability with
recommendations of appropriate flow control BMP options with typical designs for the site from the
geotechnical engineer shall be submitted with the application along with the slope stability analysis.
The geotech report should include information if the soil is suitable/unsuitable for infiltration.
6. The surface water system development charge (SOC) fee will be applicable on the project for any
new impervious surface area. The current SDC fee is $0.540 per square feet, but not less than
$1,350.00.
TRANSPORTATION
1. The project proposes the development of 16 town homes in the site combined from the parcels
3119900011, 3119900010, and 3119900005. Payment of transportation impact fee is applicable on
the construction of the multifamily units at the time of issuance of the building permit. The
transportation impact fee that is current at the time of building permit application will be levied,
payable at building permit issue.

of 79 feet. A street modification request may be submitted by the developer for providing the ROW
width of 79 feet instead of the 91 feet. With a half street right of way dedication of 9 feet (subject to
final survey) on the project frontage on Sunset Blvd NE. The half street frontage improvements will
be required to be built on the Sunset Blvd NE frontage by the developer.
3. A traffic impact analysis is required when estimated vehicular traffic generated from a proposed
development exceeds 20 vehicles per hour in either the AM (6:00-9:00) or PM (3:00-6:00) peak
periods. Generally this includes residential plats of 20 lots or more and commercial sites that
generate 20 vehicles per hour. A residential project consisting of 16 townhome units is not expected
to generate more that 20 new peak hour trips (as per the /TE Trip Generation Manual). Therefore, a
traffic study is not required for the project.
4. A driveway of minimum width meeting fire department's requirements is required to be provided in
the proposed Apartment town homes project. Space for vehicular turning movement is required to

Pre-Application File No. 15-000798
Clark H. Close, Senior Planner
701 Sunset Townhomes (Renton 701 I Townhomes)
701 Sunset Blvd NE, Renton WA 98056
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, 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 for purchase for $50.00 plus tax from the Finance Division on the first floor of City Hall
or online at www.rentonwa.gov.
Project Proposal: The subject property is located on the west side of Sunset Blvd NE near NE 7th
St at 701 Sunset Blvd NE. The project site consists of three parcels (APN's 3119900005,
3119900010, and 3119900011) totaling 39,186 square feet (0.90 acres) in area and is zoned
Residential Multi-Family (RMF). Together the three lots fronting Sunset Blvd NE measure
roughly 205 feet long and 122 feet wide. The applicant is proposing a 16 unit multi-family
residential townhome project with a 24-foot wide accessible roadway near the northeast corner
of the site. A second roadway runs north/south between the units approximately 72 feet west of
Sunset Blvd NE. The project site contains regulated slopes (>15% to >90%), high erosion hazards,
and high landslide hazards.
Current Use: All three parcels are currently vacant.
Zoning: The property is located within the Residential High Density (RHD) land use designation
and the Residential Multi-Family (RMF) zoning classification. Attached residential development
is permitted within the RMF zoning classification, provided the proposal complies with the
density range specified by the zone.
Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-llOA, "Development
Standards for Residential Zoning Designations" effective at the time of complete application
(noted as "RMF standards") and is also located within Urban Design District 'B' Overlay District.
H:\CEO\Planning\Current Planning\PREAPPS\15-000798
701 Sunset Town home
Page 2 of 8
November 19, 2015
Density: The density range required in the RMF zone is a minimum of 10.0 to a maximum of 20.0
dwelling units per net acre (du/ac). The minimum density of the zone is not applicable for
townhome developments. The area of public and private streets and critical areas would be
deducted from the gross site area to determine the "net" site area prior to calculating density.
The amount of public street dedication (1,636 square feet) and critical area (steep slope 5,485
square feet) that would be deducted from the site was identified as 7,121 square feet. With this
information the net density was calculated to be 32,065 square feet. Using the square footage
provided, the proposal for 16 units arrives at a net density of 21.6 du/ac (16 units/ 0.74 acres=
21.6 du/ac). This exceeds the density range permitted or allowed in the zone. However, a
density bonus provision may allow up to 25 du/ac pursuant to requirements in RMC 4-9-065.
To qualify for the density bonus, the applicant shall first provide 1 affordable housing unit (per
net acre), either for sale or rental. Additional bonus units (per net acre) may be achieved on a
1:1 ratio for either:
(ii Affordable housing units, either for sale or rental, or
(ii) Units built to Built Green 3 Star (at minimum) building standards. Higher Built Green
standards are allowed and may receive a greater density bonus upon review and approval of
the Planning Director.
Combinations of the above are allowed; provided, that at least 1 unit of affordable housing (per
net acre) is provided. For example, 2 units of affordable housing and 2 units built to Built Green
3 Star standards would achieve a density bonus of 4 units. The applicant would be required ta
demonstrate compliance with the density range of the RMF zone using net density calculations
or receive density bonus. If the applicant intends on requesting a density bonus you would be
required to apply far an Administrative Site Plan Review application.
Minimum Lot Size. Width and Depth: There is no minimum lot size required for the RMF zone.
The minimum lot width required for townhomes is 25 feet (corner lots is 30 feet) and the
minimum lot depth required is 50 feet. The proposal identifies a lot combination by combining
three legal lots into one lot.
Lot Coverage: Maximum building coverage is limited to 70% and impervious surface coverage is
limited to a maximum of 75%. The applicant has indicated that the lot coverage would be 11,727
square feet or 36.6% (11,727 sf/ 32,065 sf = 36.6%) and the impervious coverage at 19,222 or
59.9% (19,222 sf/ 32,065 sf= 59.9%), which is compliant with the building standards of the RMF
zone. The applicant will be required at the time of formal land use application to provide lat
coverage and impervious surface calculations based on the submitted design.
Setbacks: Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the
property line and any private access easement. The required setbacks in the RMF zone are 10
feet in the front (Sunset Blvd NE), 10 feet in the rear, 20 feet for side yards along-a-street and 5
feet for unattached sides of an interior side yard setback and zero feet for attached sides. If the
lot abuts a Single Family Residential Zone a 15-foot setback shall be required along the abutting
side of the property. The south property line abuts a parcel zoned R-8 therefore a 15 foot
setback would be required along the south property line (Cl-76). The proposal would be
required ta comply with the setbacks of the RMF zone.
Building Height: The RMF zone restricts the maximum wall plate height of the structure to 30
feet and three stories (Cl-73 Revised). In the 'F' District, an additional ten feet (10') height for a
residential dwelling structure may be obtained through the provision of additional amenities
H:\CED\Planning\Current Planning\PREAPPS\15-000798
701 Sunset Townhomes
Page 3 of8
November 19, 2015
such as additional recreation facilities, underground parking, and additional landscaped open
space areas; as determined through the site development plan review process and depending
on the compatibility of the proposed buildings with adjacent or abutting existing residential
development. In no case shall the maximum wall plat height of a residential structure exceed
thirty-five feet (35').
Screening: Screening must be provided for all surface-mounted and roof top utility and
mechanical equipment. The site plan application will need to include elevations and details for
the proposed methods of screening.
Refuse and Recycling Areas: Refuse and recycling areas need to meet the requirements of RMC
4-4-090, "Refuse and Recyclables Standards." All new developments for multi-family residences,
commercial, industrial and other nonresidential uses shall provide onsite refuse and recyclables
deposit areas and collection points for collection of refuse and recyclables in compliance with
the requirements of RMC 4-4-090. In multifamily development, a minimum of one and one-half
(1-1/2) square feet per dwelling unit in multi-family residences shall be provided for recyclables
deposit areas, except where the development is participating in a City-sponsored program in
which individual recycling bins are used for curbside collection. A minimum of three (3) square
feet per dwelling unit shall be provided for refuse deposit areas. A total minimum area of eighty
(80) square feet shall be provided for refuse and recyclables deposit areas.
Outdoor refuse and recyclables deposit areas and collection points shall not be located in any
required setback or landscape areas. Outdoor refuse and recyclables deposit areas and
collection points shall not be located within fifty feet (SO') of a lot zoned residential, except by
approval through the site development plan review process, or through the modification
process if exempt from site development plan review.
Landscaping: Except for critical areas, all portions of the development area not covered by
structures, required parking, access, circulation or service areas, must be landscaped with
native, drought-resistant vegetative cover. The minimum on-site landscape width required along
street frontages is 10 feet. Street trees and landscaping is required within the right-of-way on
public streets. Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) for further general and
specific landscape requirements. A conceptual landscape plan and landscape analysis meeting
the requirements of the code shall be submitted at the time of building permit application,
Significant Tree Retention: If significant trees (greater than 6-inch caliper or 8-caliper inches for
alders and cottonwoods) are proposed to be removed, a tree inventory and a tree retention
plan along with an arborist report, tree retention plan and tree retention worksheet shall be
provided with the formal land use application as defined in RMC 4-8-120. The tree retention
plan must show preservation of at least 20% of significant trees, and indicate how proposed
building footprints would be sited to accommodate preservation of significant trees that would
be retained (RMC 4-4-130Hl.a). When the required number of protected trees cannot be
retained, replacement trees, with at least a two-inch (2") caliper or an evergreen at least six feet
(6') tall, shall be planted at a rate of twelve (12) caliper inches of new trees to replace each
protected tree removed. The Administrator may authorize the planting of replacement trees
on the site if it can be demonstrated ta the Administrator's satisfaction that an insufficient
number of trees can be retained.
Significant trees shall be retained in the following priority order:
H:\CED\Planning\Current Planning\PREAPPS\15-000798
701 Sunset Townhome
Page 4 of 8
November 19, 2015
Priority One: Landmark trees; significant trees that form a continuous canopy; significant trees
on slopes greater than 20%; significant trees adjacent to critical areas and their associated
buffers; and significant trees over 60' in height or greater than 18" caliper.
Priority Two: Healthy tree groupings whose associated undergrowth can be preserved; other
significant native evergreen or deciduous trees; and other significant non-native trees.
Priority Three: Alders and cottonwoods shall be retained when all other trees have been
evaluated for retention and are not able to be retained, unless the alders and/ or cottonwoods
are used as part of an approved enhancement project within a critical area or its buffer.
The Administrator may require independent review of any land use application that involves
tree removal and land clearing at the City's discretion. A formal tree retention plan would be
reviewed at the time of Building Permit application.
Fences/Walls: If the applicant intends to install any fences or retaining walls as part of this
project, the location must be designated on the landscape plan or grading plan. A fence and/or
wall detail should also be included on the plan as well. A fence taller than six feet (6') shall
require a building permit or an explicit exemption from the Building Official.
A retaining wall that is four feet (4') or taller, as measured by the vertical distance from the
bottom of the footing to the finish grade at the top of the wall requires a building permit. A
fence shall not be constructed on top of a retaining wall unless the total combined height of the
retaining wall and the fence does not exceed the allowed height of a standalone fence. For more
information about fences and retaining walls see RMC 4-4-040.
Parking: The following ratios would be applicable to the site:
Use Ratio
Attached Residential A minimum and maximum of 1.6 per 3 bedroom or large dwelling
in the RMF zone: unit; 1.4 per 2 bedroom dwelling unit; 1.0 per 1 bedroom or studio
dwelling unit.
The Information regarding the number of bedrooms within each Type A-E wos not provided
with the pre-application materials, therefore staff was unable to verify compliance with these
requirements. A parking analysis would be required to be submitted with the application.
If future practical difficulties exist in meeting parking requirements, the appllcant may request a
modification from these standards. Please refer to RMC 4-9-250D.2 for decision criteria. It is the
responsibility of the developer or building occupant to provide the Department of Community
and Economic Development with written justification for the parking modification.
Additionally, bicycle parking shall provide 0.5 bicycle parking spaces for each residential unit if
the residential development exceeds five (5) units. The bicycle parking provided for the
residential use shall be provided for secure extended use and shall protect the entire bicycle and
its components and accessories from theft and weather. Acceptable examples include bike
lockers, bike check-in systems, in-building parking, and limited access fenced areas with weather
protection. For further bicycle parking requirements and information see RMC 4-4-0SOF.11.
Access: The applicant is proposing site access via a 24-foot wide driveway off of Sunset Blvd NE
extending east/west along the north edge of the site with a ''T'' extending south at a point
approximately 72' west of Sunset Blvd NE. No driveway shall be constructed in such a manner as
to be a hazard to any existing street lighting standard, utility pole, traffic regulating device, fire

ingress and egress driveways shall be subject to approval. Street improvements, including,
curbs, gutter and sidewalk, are required along the frontage of the property. Whenever a
building permit is applied far, the applicant shall build and install street improvements (RMC
4-6-060). Modifications to half street improvements may be allowed when there are practical
difficulties involved in carrying out the provisions af Title IV or when a special individual
reason makes the strict letter af this Cade impractical (RMC 4-9-250).
Pedestrian Access: A pedestrian connection shall be provided from all public entrances to the
street, in order to provide direct, clear and separate pedestrian walks from sidewalks to building
entries and internally from buildings to abutting properties. The front entry of a building shall
not be oriented to a drive aisle, but instead a public or private street or landscaped pedestrian-
only courtyard. The proposed site plan is required ta provide pedestrian connections to Sunset
Blvd NE.

submittal. The required studies shall demonstrate the following review criteria can be met:
i. The proposal will not increase the threat of the geological hazard to adjacent or abutting
properties beyond pre-development conditions; and
ii. The proposal will not adversely impact other critical areas; and
iii. The development can be safely accommodated on the site.
Protected slopes are defined as topographical features that slope in excess of 40% and hove a
vertical rise of 15 feet or more. Development is prohibited on protected slopes and a 15-foot
structure setback is required from the top, toe, and sides of the protected slope. If any work is
planned on a "protected slope" a Variance from the Critical Areas regulations would be
required. It appears the applicant has proposed development on the protected slope which is
prohibited. The site plan shall be redesigned to eliminate development (including grading) on
the protected slopes. A slope analysis plan would be required with your land use application.
If there is any indication of other critical areas on the site, this must be disclosed to the City
prior to development and appropriate studies must be undertaken.
All critical areas, including protected slopes are required to be placed within a Native Growth
Protection Easement (NGPE) to protect the critical area from any proposed development for a
non-exempt activity.
lot Combination: The applicant would be required to complete a lot combination application or
lot line adjustment as part of the project, should the building footprint continue to cross both
property boundaries, as shown in the site plan. Note: A lot combination is a free application
and the fee for a lot line adjustment is $463.50 {$450 plus 3 % Technology Surcharge Fee),
Environmental Review: The proposed project would be subject to Washington State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review due to the size of the project and critical areas onsite.

Construction Phasing Plan
To Whom it May Concern,
Please find our construction phasing details below. The intent of this document is to clarify some of the
construction sequencing that will be taken, to ensure that this project is built efficiently and limits the length of
construction.
Construction Phasing Details:
The project will be constructed in (3) phases. The first phase will constitute the mass grading of the site and
getting the terrain prepared for the foundation cuts. The site utilities will be installed at this time and the
roadways/parking stalls will be rough graded.
The second phase will be cutting (2) of the building foundations. These first buildings will be the southeast
structure and the south west structure. The excavation and foundations will stagger start by 1-2 weeks. The first
building slated to be complete will be the southeast building along sunset and the southern building will be
completed 2 weeks later. Once these (2) buildings are through framing, we will begin the third phase.
During the third phase, our efforts will shift to the (2) northern structures. The excavation and foundations will
stagger start by 1-2 weeks and the overall construction duration of the buildings will be 8 months. The site
hardscape and landscape will occur the last 2 months of the project (month 10-12). The overall construction will
take 12-14 months (including all the site work).
Please feel free to call me with any additional questions or concerns.
Respectfully,
Kevin Wall, Project Manager

Construction Migation Description
To Whom it May Concern,
Please find our construction migration details below. The intent of this document is to clarify some of
the measures that will be taken, to ensure that this project does not adversely impact the community,
throughout the construction process.
Proposed construction dates: Construction is proposed to begin Spring of 2017 and will extend into spring of
2018.
Hours and days of Operation: Construction will begin at 7:30am-6:00pm, Monday-Friday. Any work that occurs
outside of this timeframe will be in accordance with the Renton Municipal Code (RMC).
Proposed hauling/transportation routes: All construction traffic will occur by leaving the site (turning right) and
following Sunset Blvd NW to the south. All traffic will then proceed to either: turn left onto Maple Valley Hwy
and continue on 169 to the west, OR turn left onto Maple Valley Hwy and take the next left onto the onramp for
northbound 405, OR continue straight on Sunset which merges into the on ramp for southbound 405.
Measures to be implemented to minimize dust, mud, noise, and hauling hours: In order to minimize dust and
mud being tracked onto Sunset Blvd NW, proper TESC measures will be followed, in accordance with the
submitted and approved TESC plan (apart of the Permit drawings). The TESC plan will stipulate the location and
length of the construction entrance, which is designed to shake off the majority of site dirt/mud that has been
affixed to the tires. If debris is tracked into the right of way, additional measures may need to be taken to
remediate dust/mud; including but not limited to: hand sweeping, street sweeping, and wheel washing. All
hauling will occur within the hours noted above AND in accordance with Renton Municipal Code. The site will be
fenced with signage and fabric so as to minimize noise, debris, dust, etc from leaving the site and to act as a
visual deterrent for passing traffic on Sunset Blvd NW.
Please feel free to c II me with any additional questions or concerns.

Project: Renton 701 Townhomes
701 Sunset Blvd NE
Renton, WA 98056
The property located at 701 Sunset Blvd NE in Renton, WA is composed of three legal lots
combining for approximately 36,000 square feet. The site is located in a wedge shaped boundary
between Interstate 405 and Sunset Blvd NE. The surrounding neighborhood consists of a variety
of residential uses. There is a single family residence and an approximately 20-unit apartment
development directly to the North. Directly to the South of the property is an undeveloped strip
of land that maintains an electrical service utility easement and will remain undeveloped. One
low density development and a single family residence sits across the street to the East of the
site. The Site is zoned Residential Multi-Family [RMF) and is subject to the District B overlay
outlined herein.
The proposed development plans to take advantage of territorial views to the West while
maintaining inviting and pedestrian-oriented facades along Sunset Blvd. All buildings facing
Sunset Blvd are configured to have large glass entry doors on raised stoops. To enhance the
connection to the public right of way, each entry shall be recessed from the fa~ade and contain
raised planters, a canopy and ornamental lighting that will coordinate with architectural
detailing. See figure 1a. The development transition between the North property development
is buffered by the landscaped public amenity area at the NE and NW corners. The four
townhomes that rest near the north property edge have sloped shed roofs that open into the
development therefore reducing the mass along the property edge.
Building massing shall be articulated so that overhangs. balconies and roof pitches provide
visual interest at the pedestrian level and neighboring views. Balconies will be designed to
enhance building composition and provide private amenity space for each unit. Pitched roofs
shall be oriented to provide enhanced solar access for individual units as well as providing for a
composition that articulates the massing for the overall development. This project is proposing
the use of distinctive building materials to enhance the visual quality and overall massing.
Composite siding will be used in coordination with textured cement to create harmonious
compositions. The different textures will give the development a unique and quality presence
among the more traditional surrounding developments. See figure lb and 2a

The buildings along Sunset Blvd are separated by the access driveway and pedestrian walkway,
creating a central public vehicle and pedestrian entry to the site. This central access point
minimizes curb cuts and draws attention to the activity on the interior of the site and further
articulates the massing along the main fa~ade. Pedestrian circulation is distributed throughout
the site via walkways that connect all of the townhomes. Additionally, the buildings located
further to the west are placed lower on the slope to create architectural interest. A corridor is
provided through these buildings to draw attention to the territorial views as people enter the
site. The row of four town homes in the northwest corner will also utilize a terracing strategy to
minimize their impact of neighbors· views.
The development is proposing to provide private amenity space for each unit in the form of
balconies, private yards or both. Street facing balconies are provided for direct views to Sunset
Blvd. The private amenity spaces in coordination with the public amenity space, located at the
northeast and northwest corners, are located to enhance community awareness and promote
interaction among residents and the surrounding neighborhood. Pathways and public benches
will enhance the quality of the public amenity spaces through use of integrated seating and
gathering spaces. A children's play structure may also be included in one of the amenity spaces.
Where applicable, portions of walls that are visible to the public and have no windows will be
adorned with living wall amenities to promote vertical plants and vines. See figure 1b and 2a
In addition to the design scheme already discussed, this project proposes to utilize the
BuiltGreen sustainable rating system to minimize the environmental impact of the
development. Site infrastructure, such as storm drainage, will be designed in accordance with
Low Impact Development principles.
Overall, the development proposes to meet and exceed the urban design regulations through
the measures outlined herein. The developers and design team are committed to creating a
development that will enhance the livability of the neighborhood while providing a unique
community driven experience.

DECISION CRITERIA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
Sunset's Edge Townhomes
701-707 Sunset Blvd NE
Renton, WA 98056
INTRODUCTION:
As part of the Planned Urban Development process, the project proponent is required to
demonstrate that the proposed PUD complies with the intent of Renton·s zoning code. They are
also required to demonstrate that any code departures sought under the PUD would result in a
superior development than would be permitted if those departures were not granted. As noted
on sheet AO.O and in the Project Narrative, the Renton 701 Townhomes project seeks four
departures from the city zoning code. Please refer to those documents for additional
information on the following proposed departures:
• Reduction of minimum Lot width
• Nonstandard access roadway
• Provision of compact parking spaces only
• Waiver of setbacks along property lines within the development
DEMONSTRATION OF COMPLIANCE AND SUPERIORITY:
Under RMC 4-9-065, townhomes may be developed in the RMF zone at a density of 20 dwelling
units per net acre, and additional dwelling units may be provided if affordable units are
constructed. The Renton 701 Townhomes project occupies three existing legal lots in this zone.
Under the code, each of these lots could be Legally developed with a row of three or four
townhomes facing a shared private driveway. The units would predominantly not face the street,
and minimal landscaping area would be provided. Three curb cuts would also be required to
serve the development. Finally, such a development could be permitted as three separate
projects. This could allow the developer to avoid thresholds for installing utility improvements
across the site. Since the development would be constructed as three separate projects rather
than as three phases, there would also be no requirement that each portion of the development
be part of a larger whole.
Under the PUD, on the other hand, the entire development is to be constructed as a single,
unified project. This allows the city to require additional utility improvements, such as looped
water mains and storm drainage facilities, that might not have been required if the development
were constructed as three separate projects or phases. It also provides an opportunity to
CDC 15-309 I Sunset's Edge
D
C!T!ZENDCS:GN
o'.t-ce 206 5.L7':L18
DECISION CRITERIA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
centralize vehicular access to the site into a single curb cut and driveway, reducing traffic
impacts on Sunset Boulevard. The centralized access point also trees up additional street
frontage for town homes to face and interact with the public way. Likewise, additional area is
made available tor landscaping, private yards and shared amenity areas.
Concerning the requirement that the development not be unduly detrimental to the neighboring
sites, the first point in favor of the proposed PUD is that it does not propose any more dwelling
units that are already permitted under the code. The units also are not located any nearer to
neighboring parcels than they would be under the code. As mentioned above, permitting this
project as a PUD allows tor utility and street improvements to be designed and constructed with
the entire development in mind. The improved infrastructure should offset any impacts on the
city's utility network the development might impose.
During the community outreach meetings, it was revealed that the biggest concern of the
neighborhood is parking. In response to the clear need for parking in the area, the proposed
PUD includes 34 parking spaces rather than the code requirement of 26 [16 units* 1.6). In order
to provide this many spaces, the PUD proposes to depart from the code standard that no more
than 30% of the required parking be compact [8.5'x16'1. By providing only compact spaces, the
PUD is able to provide more parking than would be possible if large 19'x20'J spaces were
provided. This results in a better response to the community·s stated need tor large quantities
of off-street parking.
PUBLIC BENEFIT:
Open Space/Recreation:
The project proposes to provide two open, landscaped areas for the use of all residents in
common. One of these amenity areas is located between a single-family residence to the north
and the first block of town homes, thus providing a landscaped buffer to the neighboring single-
family parcel. The other area is located in the northwest corner and is designated tor residents'
recreation. Once the likely demographics of the development's residents are better understood,
it will be determined whether the children's play structure currently shown is the best use of
this space. If it is determined that another use would be more appropriate, this amenity area
will be repurposed at that time. In any case, however, it will remain accessible to all units in the
development.
CDC 15-309 I Sunset's Edge
\
DECISION CRITERIA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
La ndsca ping/Screening:
In addition to the amenity areas and required landscape buffers, the proposed development
includes landscaping areas throughout the site. Planter boxes are provided at several different
locations to incorporate vegetation into the entrances of units that do not have yards.
Substantial tree planting is also proposed along the westerly margins of the site to mitigate
traffic noise from 1-405 and protect the steep slopes in the area.
Circulation/Screening:
Finally, the proposed PUD includes a superior arrangement of access drives and parking areas
than could be required if the development were constructed as three separate projects. As
noted above, each of the three legal lots could be developed separately, and this would result in
multiple curb cuts. Under the PUD, access is centralized, minimizing impacts to the traffic flow
on Sunset Boulevard. Guest parking is also located within the development, screening it from
public view. Resident parking is provided via garages rather than a surface lot, further ensuring
that it will not become a public eyesore. Additionally, the PUD proposes that refuse collection
and storage be located within each residential unit's garage. This ensures that refuse is not
visible from the public way and obviates the need for a screened enclosure, freeing up
additional open space. As the access road is designed to accommodate fire department
equipment, it should also be accessible to collection trucks.
ADDITIONAL CRITERIA:
Building and Site Design:
The development takes its context into account by reinterpreting traditional residential forms
such as pitched roofs and front porches. Variants of these forms are combined with
contemporary materials such as fiber cement siding and standing seam metal roofing to create
a modern interpretation of Renton·s existing residential neighborhoods. A variety of building
shapes, plans and architectural detail schemes is provided to avoid unnecessary repetition, and
these are scattered throughout the development to provide a sense of continuity. Structures
located along the edges of the development are sited such that roof pitches can be used to
lessen the apparent mass of the buildings, and landscape buffers are also used to provide a
transition to neighboring properties. The proposal also represents a less intense land use than
the apartments to the north and a more intense land use than the single-family neighborhood to
the southeast, providing a transition between the two. The single-family parcel to the north is
separated from the development by open space and landscaping.

DECISION CRITERIA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
Circulation:
The development proposes access via a non-standard, public right-of-way. This allows for
centralization of vehicular access while also allowing sufficient developable area for the project.
Access for emergency services is to be provided via construction of a hammerhead turnaround
at the center of the development. This location, when combined with the 26' access road, is
sufficient to permit fire department access to within 1 oo· of all portions of all buildings. It is
proposed that flush curbs be used in order to permit fire department vehicles to easily drive
over interior pedestrian walkways if necessary. A visibly different material is to be used for the
walkways to ensure that motorists are aware that it is not to be used as part of the roadway.
Due to the topography of the site, some steep roadways are unavoidable. The proposal seeks to
minimize these by regrading significant portions of the site and providing retaining walls as
necessary. Other safety considerations of the site include providing sufficient sight distance at
the curb cut on Sunset Boulevard and avoiding difficult turning patterns. These concerns are
addressed by locating street trees and other sight-obscuring vegetation away from the curb cut
and by providing a single entry point to the site. Parking is not permitted on the portion of
Sunset Boulevard fronting the site, and this will also contribute to sight distance from the curb
cut.
Infrastructure and Services:
As part of the PUD, the development proposes to construct a looped water main and storm
drainage detention system. This is in addition to providing water, storm and sanitary sewer
service lines to each townhouse unit. Electrical and communications lines are to be
undergrounded within the development. Connections to PSE and communication networks are
to be determined in consultation with the utility operators at a later date. A fire hydrant is also
located at the end of the access road to ensure that sufficient fire flow is available.
Clusters or Building Groups and Open Space:
The proposal consists of five individual structures containing two to four townhomes each.
These structures are arranged such that views through the entire site are preserved,
contributing to a feeling of openness. Impervious area is minimized, and the only paved portions
of the site are those necessary to provide vehicular and pedestrian access to the units, the
guest parking area, and a small plaza between two of the buildings. The remainder of the site
consists of landscaped areas, several of which are designed for outdoor recreation.

DECISION CRITERIA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
Privacy and Building Separation:
Several techniques are used to provide privacy to units within the development and to
neighboring properties. Where structures face each other, care has been taken to ensure that
windows. in general, do not align. Landscape buffers are also provided between the new
development and neighboring properties. Mechanical areas are located within garages to
ensure that they will not be visible to neighbors. Finally, landscaping has been provided along
the westerly margins of the site as a means of reducing traffic noise from 1-405.
Building Orientation:
The topography of the site presents the opportunity to align structures in different directions
while providing territorial views throughout the development. The majority of the townhouses
are oriented with their long axis east-west, providing these units with direct views to the west.
This orientation also provides middle units in these buildings with access to natural light during
the morning and evening hours, the most likely times for the units to be occupied. The type "'o··
units, on the other hand, are oriented north-south. This increases the amount of glazing that
can be installed on the view side of the units and further increases their access to morning and
evening natural light. Finally, the building containing units 1-4 is oriented such that each unit is
aligned north-south. This allows these units to step down the hillside, decreasing the amount of
regrading necessary for construction. It also allows for these units to have one south-facing and
one north-facing balcony each, providing the potential for both shaded and sunny conditions
during the summer months.
Parking Area Design:
Parking. for the most part, is located within garages. Every unit has a private garage, thus
ensuring that all residents will have access to parking. The surface parking that is provided
consists of a single short row of shared guest spaces. These spaces are not visible from the
public way and are bordered on two sides by landscaped areas. The remaining two sides face
the townhome buildings. This Layout minimizes the visual presence of parking on the site while
still providing sufficient spaces. It is worth noting that the parking does not provide any large
spaces. This decision was made in response to community concerns that insufficient parking
exists in the neighborhood. Providing only compact spaces allowed the site to accommodate
additional parking without increasing the size of the parking lot, thus complying with the
criterion that parking be minimalized compared to typical layouts.

PUBLIC OUTREACH MEETING MINUTES
The public outreach meeting for the Sunset's Edge Townhomes pro1ect was held at Renton Highlands
Library on Monday. October 24, 2016. The meeting was attended by Joe Notarangelo of Tottenham, LLC
and Jacob Young, Isaac Greenetz and Craig Pontius of Citizen Design Collaborative. The meeting was also
attended by Vanessa Dolbee and Clark Close with the City of Renton. Community members present at the
meeting included Wendell & Cleo Forgaard and Roberta Patki.
Comments made at the meetings can be grouped into four broad categories. First. several comments
regarding traffic, parking and ambient noise were received. Community members remarked that Sunset
Boulevard 1s currently a busy road that generates a large amount of ambient noise. They suggested that
the new development include noise-reducing measures such as double-paned glazing to mitigate this
problem. Parking 1s also a known issue in the neighborhood due to underparked existing development.
and the community members were pleased to see multiple parking spaces assigned to the units in the
proposal. It was suggested thal add1t1onal guest parking would also be beneficial to the neighborhood.
They suggested that the project proponents consider the impacts of a planned expansion of 1-405 on the
proposal. They also requested additional information regarding how the proposed curb cut location would
interact with the existing traffic signal at NE 7" Street and whether street parking would be permitted on
Sunset Boulevard. Finally. they asked whether the sidewalk fronting the property would be extended to the
NE 7" Street intersection. As the property between the pro1ect site and the intersection 1s not under
common ownership, the pro1ect team responded that this is not currently under consideration.
The second category included comments related to structure height, views and privacy. Commur11ty
members also expressed concern that three-story townhomes could block existing views to the valley. The
pro1ect team responded that the development is terraced to help mitigate this potential. Questions were
also raised concerning the legal height limit on the site, and Ms. Dolbee stated that the height limit was
currently 32 feel and three stories.
The third category included comments related to the aesthetics and layout of the proposal. Community
members were interested in what types of common spaces would be provided. Suggestions from the
community included p1cn1c areas, a community center and a children's play area as shown. The location
and number of new and replaced trees in the proposal was also of interest to the community members,
primarily for privacy and view considerations.

PUBLIC OUTREACH MEETING MINUTES
The fourth category included miscellaneous questions and comments. Community members informed the
project team that the PSE parcel to the south of the project site is often occupied by a homeless
encampment. They also requested information on the project's permitting and construction timeline. Mr.
Notarangelo responded that it is expected to be complete by spring or summer of 2018, though this 1s an
estimate only. The community was also interested in further information on the ownership model of the
development, and the project team responded that it is currently proposed that each townhouse would be
owned independently with a homeowner's association to maintain the common areas. Finally, the
community expressed an interest in having some old PSE overhead conductors removed 1f they are no
longer in service.

combination.
Detached single•famlly development7: Two (2} significant trecs8 for every five thousand [5,000) sq. ft. of !ot
area. For example, a lot with 9,600 square feet and a detached singleJamily house is required to have four (4)
significant trees or their equivalent in caliper inches (one ar more trees with a combined diameter of 24''). This
is determined with the /of/owing formula:

I have personally surveyed your 701 Sunset BLVD NE, Renton site to fulfill the requirements of the City
of Renton's tree retention worksheet and plan as you requested.
Each tree on site now sports numbered metal tags (20). 12 trees are slated for rnmoval.
3 trees with DBH's below the required 8" are included on this list as we looked at every tree. These trees
are not used in the computations for the r'Tree Retention Worksheet"
The International Society of Arboriculture Level 1 inspection method was used. All trees to be removed,
to allow for the proposed development with numerous trees to be replanted. The trees that will remain
are relatively young trees and should withstand the exposure clearing will create. The health of the trees
is similar, again they are young trees to 40' in height with full if asymmetric crowns. No deadwood was
found. These trees are a vigorous species will remain viable for many years. However, as the retained
trees are all cottonwoods in the years to come they will pose increasingly elevated risk levels. The
reasoning for this is, the species vigorous growth to 160' in height and relatively brittle wood. In
advanced years, they are subject to summer limb drop endangering the parking and living spaces.
Driplines were determined by visual observation of the existing tree limbs.
It will be important to not disturb the root systems of the retained trees. This will start with stump
grinding rather than pulling out of stumps for removals located in overlying driplines. After that fencing,
shall be installed at the outer limits of the dripline with signs stating that there is to be no excavation,
parking, storing of materials or walking inside the protective fencing.
There will be little to no adverse effects on trees of the abutting properties as they are already well
spaced and away from site boundaries and trees. This isolation will leave the abutting tree roots
untouched. The new building when complete will replace the wind screening lost from tree removals.
Find listed the species, DBH measurements. Driplines and proposed retentions noted.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST:
Planning Division
1055 South Grady Way-Renton, WA 98057 Phone:
425-430-7200 I www.rentor,wa.gov
Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental
impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if
available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the
probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to
further analyze the proposal.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: (@JQ}
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal.
Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may
need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may
use "not applicable" or "does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and
not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional
studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the
SEPA process as well as later in the decision-making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a
period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help
describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this
checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably
related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEAD AGENCIES:
Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated
aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first
but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold
determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the
completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.

E3RA, Inc. (E3RA) is pleased to submit this revised report describing the results of our geotechnical
engineering evaluation for the improvements planned at 701 Sunset Blvd NE in Renton, Washington.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of the Totenham, LLC and their consultants, for specific
application to this project, in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practice.
1.0 SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site consists of three separate, but adjacent tax parcels on the west side of Sunset Blvd NE, located
directly northwest of its intersection with NE 7th St in Renton, Washington, as shown on the enclosed
Topographic and Location Map (Figure I). The subject property contains a frontage on Sunset Blvd NE of
approximately 200 feet, and extends west of the roadway± 125 to 200 feet; encompassingjust underone acre.
Currently, the property is undeveloped, with the only distinguishing site feature being a "U" shaped gravel
driveway which enters/exits Sunset Blvd NE along the east side of the site. Generally, the easternmost
two-thirds of the property is relatively level, containing a slight slope from east to west, no steeper than
15 percent. The western third of the site consists of a moderate to steep slope which descends to the west at
grades of 50 to 60 percent and represents an elevation change of 15 to 20 feet. Directly west of the subject
property is long, thin parcel owned by Puget Sound Energy, which acts as a pathway for transmission towers
which service the area. One such transmission tower is in close proximity to the project area. Areas west of
this parcel are steeply sloped, and descend down to l-405. The western boundary of the site is approximately
200 feet east of 1-405.
Improvement plans involve the clearing/stripping of the site and developing 10 to 12 townhouses within its
confines. Preliminary discussions have the townhouses being three-story, wood-framed structures. Garages
will either be attached or detached, with no preliminary layouts available thus far. Paved driving and parking
surfaces will also be incorporated into the proposed development.

2,0 EXPLORATORY METHODS
We previously explored surface and subsurface conditions at the project site on January 21, 2015. Our
exploration and evaluation program comprised the following clements:
• Surface reconnaissance of the site;
• Three test pits (designated TP-1 through TP-3), advanced on January 21, 2015; and
• A review of published geologic and seismologic maps and literature.
Table I summarizes the approximate functional locations and termination depths of our subsurface
explorations, and Figure 2 depicts their approximate relative locations. The following sections describe the
procedures used for excavation of test pits.
TABLE 1
APPROXIMATE LOCATIONS AND DEPTHS OF EXPLORATIONS
Termination
Exploration Functional Location Depth
(feet)
TP-1 Eastern third of the site, north end of "U' shaped gravel driveway 7Yz
TP-2 Eastern third of the site, south end of "U" shaped gravel driveway 7%
TP-3 Centrally within the site, west of the "U" shaped gravel driveway 7%
The specific number and locations of our explorations were selected in relation to the existing site features,
under the constraints of surface access, underground utility conflicts, and budget considerations.
It should be realized that the explorations performed and utilized for this evaluation reveal subsurface
conditions only at discrete locations across the project site and that actual conditions in other areas could vary.
Furthermore, the nature and extent of any such variations would not become evident until additional
explorations are performed or until construction activities have begun. If significant variations are observed
at that time, we may need to modify our conclusions and recommendations contained in this report to reflect
the actual site conditions.
Test Pit Procedures
Our exploratory test pits were excavated with a rubber-tracked mini-excavator operated by an excavation
contractor under subcontract to E3RA. A geotechnical engineer from our firm observed the test pit
excavations, collected soil samples, and logged the subsurface conditions.
The enclosed test pit logs indicate the vertical sequence of soils and materials encountered in each test pit,
based on our field classifications. Where a soil contact was observed to be gradational or undulating, our logs
indicate the average contact depth. We estimated the relative density and consistency of the in-situ soils by
means of the excavation characteristics and the stability of the test pit sidewalls. Our logs also indicate the
approximate depths of any sidewall caving or groundwater seepage observed in the test pits. The soils were
classified visually in general accordance with the system described in Figure A-1, which includes a key to the
exploration logs. Summary logs of the explorations are included as Figures A-2 through A-4.

3.0 SITE CONDITIONS
The following sections present our observations, measurements, findings, and interpretations regarding,
surface, soil, groundwater, and infiltration conditions.
Surface Conditions
As previously described, the project site consists of three separate but adjacent tax parcels on the west side of
Sunset Blvd NE, located directly northwest of its intersection with NE 7th St, in Renton, Washington. It is
located on the outskirts of a larger residential development further to the cast, and is positioned on the top of a
small ridgeline which runs north/south, forming the eastern boundary ofl-405. The eastern two-thirds of the
site is relatively level, containing a slight slope (less than 15 percent) from cast to west. This portion of the site
has limited vegetation, containing only a sparse grass cover and limited gravel surfacing along the "U" shaped
driveway. The western third of the site consists of a moderate to steep slope which descends to the west at
grades of50 to 60 percent and represents an elevation change of 15 to 20 feet. The slope face itself is densely
vegetated with thin conifers, blackberry bushes, and other brush, and does not display any irregularities
indicating slope failure, such as ancient or recent landslide scarps, hummocks, slide blocks, or jack-strawed
trees. The adjacent property to the west is owned by Puget Sound Energy, and acts as a pathway for
transmission towers servicing the area. A narrow driveway to this property is located directly south of the
project site. The western boundary of the PSE property is marked by a chainlink fence, with areas west of this
mark being steeply sloped and directly descend down to 1-405.
No hydrologic features were observed on site, such as seeps, springs, ponds and streams.
3.2 Soil Conditions
Our subsurface explorations revealed relatively consistent subgrade conditions across the site. The entirety of
the site contains a surface mantle of sod, topsoil, or gravel surfacing, typically no more than 6 inches thick.
Underlying this material, a fill zone spans much of the site, typically extending to 4Y, feet below existing grade.
The uppermost 3 feet of the fill material is comprised of silty sand in a medium dense in-situ condition. From
3Y, to 41' feet below existing grade, logs, woody debris and general refuse were incorporated into the fill
material. Native soils on site consist of glacial till deposited during the most recent glaciation of the area; the
Vashon Stade of the Fraser Glaciation. Glacial till deposits observed in our subsurface explorations were all
moderately weathered and comprised of gravelly, silty sand in a medium dense in-situ condition. Unweathercd
deposited are likely encountered with depth.
In the Geologic Map of the Renton Quadrangle, King County, Washington, as prepared by the Department of
the Interior United States Geological Survey (USGS) ( 1965), the project site is mapped as containing Qgt, or
Vashon Glacial Till. These deposits are described as being a generally compact, coherent, unsorted mixture of
sand, silt, clay and gravel. Our subsurface explorations generally correspond with the mapping performed by
the USGS.
The enclosed exploration logs (Appendix A) provide a detailed description of the soil strata encountered in
our subsurface explorations.
3.3 Groundwater Conditions
At the time of our reconnaissance and subsurface explorations (January 21, 2015), we did not encounter
groundwater seepage in any of our subsurface explorations which extended to a maximum depth of7Y, feet
below existing grade. Given the fact that our subsurface explorations were performed in what is generally
3
April 16, 2015
T15034 / Totenham, LLC -701 Sunset Blvd NE, Renton Geotechnical Engineering Report
considered the wet season (December through April), we do not anticipate that groundwater levels will rise
higher than that which we observed, and we do not anticipate that groundwater will adversely impact the
proposed improvements.
Seismic Conditions
Based on our analysis of subsurface exploration logs and our review of published geologic maps, we interpret
the onsite soil conditions to generally correspond with site class D, as defined by Table 20.3-1 in ASCE 7, per
the 2012 International Building Code (!BC).
Using 2012 !BC information on the USGS Design Summary Report website, Risk Category 1/IVIII seismic
parameters for the site are as follows:
S,= 1.436 g SMs = 1.436 g SDs= 0.957 g
Si =0.539 g SMt = 0.809 g Soi= 0.539 g
Using the 2012 !BC information, MCfa Response Spectrum Graph on the USGS Design Summary Report
website, Risk Category I/II/III, S,at a period of0.2 seconds is 1.44 g and S,at a period of 1.0 seconds is 0.54g.
The Design Response Spectrum Graph from the same website, using the same !BC information and Risk
Category, S, at a period of0.2 seconds is 0.96 g and S, at a period of 1.0 seconds is 0.54g.
3.5 Liquefaction Potential
Liquefaction is a sudden increase in pore water pressure and a sudden loss of soil shear strength caused by
shear strains, as could result from an earthquake. Research has shown that saturated, loose, fine to medium
sands with a fines (silt and clay) content less than about 20 percent are most susceptible to liquefaction. Our
subsurface explorations did not encounter any loose sand layers or lenses.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Improvement plans involve the clearing/stripping of the site and developing 10 to 12 townhouses within its
confines. Preliminary discussions have the townhouses being three-story, wood-framed structures. Garages
will either be attached or detached, with no preliminary layouts yet available. Paved driving and parking
surfaces will also be incorporated into the proposed development. We offer these recommendations:
•
•
Feasibility: Based on our field explorations, research, and evaluations, the proposed structure
and pavements appear feasible from a geotechnical standpoint.
Foundation Options: Given the fact that a zone of organic-laden fill material underlies the
site and could result in post-construction settlement if not removed, we recommend the over-
excavation of the building footprint down to native soils; a depth of approximately 4Y, feet.
Foundation elements should be constructed on undisturbed native soils, or on structural fill
bearing pads that extend down to native soils. The thickness of structural fill bearing pads, if
used, is at the discretion of the developer. Recommendations for Spread Footings are
provided in Section 4.2.
Floor Options: Floor sections should bear on medium dense or denser native soils or on
properly compacted structural fill that extends down to medium dense or denser native soil.
We recommend over-excavation of slab-on-grade floor subgrades to a minimum depth of
4
April 16, 2015
T15034 / Totenham, LLC-701 Sunset Blvd NE, Renton Geotechnical Engineering Report
4V, feet. Slab-on-grade floors should either be constructed on undisturbed native soils or on
properly compacted structural fill as a floor subbasc. If floor construction occurs during wet
conditions, it is likely that a geotextile fabric, placed between the structural fill floor subbase
and native soils, will be necessary. Recommendations for slab-on-grade floors are included in
Section 4.3. Fill underlying floor slabs should be compacted to 95 percent (ASTM:D-1557).
• Pavement Sections: After removal of any organics underlying pavements, we recommend a
conventional pavement section comprised of an asphalt concrete pavement over a crushed
rock base course over a properly prepared (compacted) subgrade or a granular subbasc.
All soil subgrades should be thoroughly compacted, then proof-rolled with a loaded dump
truck or heavy compactor. Any localized zones of yielding subgrade disclosed during this
proof-rolling operation should be ovcrcxcavated to a depth of 12 inches and replaced with a
suitable structural fill material.
The following sections of this report present our specific geotechnical conclusions and recommendations
concerning site preparation, spread footings, slab-on-grade floors, asphalt pavement, and structural fill. The
Washington State Department ofT ransportation (WSDOT) Standard Specifications and Standard Plans cited
herein refer to WSDOT publications M41-10, Standard Specifications.for Road, Bridge, and Municipal
Construction, and M21-0l, Standard Plans.for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction, respectively.
4.1 Site Preparation
Preparation of the project site should involve erosion control, temporary drainage, clearing, stripping,
excavations, cutting, subgrade compaction, and filling.
Erosion Control: Before new construction begins, an appropriate erosion control system should be installed.
This system should collect and filter all surface water runoff through silt fencing. We anticipate a system of
berms and drainage ditches around construction areas will provide an adequate collection system. Silt
fencing fabric should meet the requirements ofWSDOT Standard Specification 9-33.2 Table 3. In addition,
silt fencing should embed a minimum of 6 inches below existing grade. An erosion control system requires
occasional observation and maintenance. Specifically, holes in the filter and areas where the filter has shifted
above ground surface should be replaced or repaired as soon as they are identified.
Temporary Drainage: We recommend intercepting and diverting any potential sources of surface or
near-surface water within the construction zones before stripping begins. Because the selection of an
appropriate drainage system will depend on the water quantity, season, weather conditions, construction
sequence, and contractor's methods, final decisions regarding drainage systems are best made in the field at the
time of construction. Based on our current understanding of the construction plans, surface and subsurface
conditions, we anticipate that curbs, berms, or ditches placed around the work areas will adequately intercept
surface water runoff.
Clearing and Stripping: After surface and near-surface water sources have been controlled, sod, topsoil, and
root-rich soil should be stripped from the site. Our explorations and field observations indicate that the topsoil
horizon is typically 6 inches or less in overall thickness. An organic ridden fill zone was encountered from 3 'I,
to 4'1, feet below existing grade, which will also need to be over-excavated within the proposed building
footprint. Stripping is best performed during a period of dry weather.

April 16, 2015
T15034 / Totenham, LLC -701 Sunset Blvd NE, Renton Geotechnical Engineering Report
Site Excavations: Based on our explorations, we expect that excavations will encounter loose to medium dense
silty fill soils and weathered glacial till which can be easily excavated using standard excavation equipment.
Dewatcring: Groundwater was not observed in any of our test pit explorations which extended to a maximum
depth of 7Y, below existing grade. Given the fact that our test pit explorations were performed in what is
generally considered the rainy season, we do not anticipate that groundwater levels will rise higher than that
which we observed, nor do we anticipate that groundwater will adversely affect the proposed development. If
groundwater is encountered, we anticipate that an internal system of ditches, sumpholes, and pumps will be
adequate to temporarily dewater excavations.
Temporary Cut Slopes: All temporary soil slopes associated with site cutting or excavations should be
adequately inclined to prevent sloughing and collapse. Temporary cut slopes in site soils should be no steeper
than I Y,H: IV, and should conform to Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act (WISHA) regulations.
Subgrade Compaction: Exposed subgrades for the foundations of the planned additions should be compacted
to a firm, unyielding state before new concrete or fill soils are placed. Any localized zones oflooser granular
soils observed within a subgrade should be compacted to a density commensurate with the surrounding soils.
In contrast, any organic, soft, or pumping soils observed within a subgrade should be overexcavated and
replaced with a suitable structural fill material.
Site Filling: Our conclusions regarding the reuse of onsite soils and our comments regarding wet-weather
filling are presented subsequently. Regardless of soil type, all fill should be placed and compacted according
to our recommendations presented in the Structural Fill section of this report. Specifically, building pad fill
soil should be compacted to a uniform density of at least 95 percent (based on ASTM:D-1557).
Onsite Soils: We offer the following evaluation of these onsite soils in relation to potential use as structural
fill:
• Surficial Organic Soil and Organic-Rich Fill Soils: Where encountered, surficial organic
soils, like duff, topsoil, root-rich soil, and organic-rich fill soils are not suitable for use as
structural fill under any circumstances, due to high organic content. Consequently, this
material can be used only for non-structural purposes, such as in landscaping areas.
Silty Sand Fill Soils: Much of the site is overlain by 4 feet of fill material. This material
contains a high relative fines (percent silVclay) content and should be considered extremely
moisture sensitive. Reuse of this soil type should be limited to summer months and moisture
conditioning should be anticipated.
Glacial Till: This material type underlies much of the project site and is encountered with
depth. These soils are moisture sensitive and will be difficult to reuse during wet weather
conditions.
Permanent Slopes: All permanent cut slopes and fill slopes should be adequately inclined to reduce long-term
raveling, sloughing, and erosion. We generally recommend that no permanent slopes be steeper than 2H: IV.
For all soil types, the use of flatter slopes (such as 2 Y,H: l V) would further reduce long-term erosion and
facilitate revegetation.
6
April 16, 2015
T15034 I Totenham, LLC -701 Sunset Blvd NE, Renton Geotechnical Engineering Report
Slope Protection: We recommend that a permanent berm, swale, or curb be constructed along the top edge of
all permanent slopes to intercept surface flow. Also, a hardy vegetative groundcover should be established as
soon as feasible, to further protect the slopes from runoff water erosion. Alternatively, permanent slopes could
be armored with quarry spalls or a geosynthetie erosion mat.
4.2 Spread Footings
In our opinion, conventional spread footings will provide adequate support for the new additions if the
subgrades are properly prepared.
Footing Depths and Widths: For frost and erosion protection, the bases of all exterior footings should bear at
least 18 inches below adjacent outside grades, whereas the bases of interior footings need bear only 12 inches
below the surrounding slab surface level. To reduce post-construction settlements, continuous (wall) and
isolated (column) footings should be at least 18 and 24 inches wide, respectively.
Bearing Subgrades: Given the fact that a zone of organic-laden fill material underlies the site and could result
in post-construction settlement if not removed, we recommend the over-excavation of the building footprint
down to native soils; a depth of approximately 4V, feet. Foundation elements should be constructed on
undisturbed native soils, or on structural fill bearing pads that extend down native soils and compacted to a
density of at least 95 percent (based on ASTM:D-1557). The thickness of structural fill bearing pads, ifused,
is at the discretion of the developer. If foundation construction occurs during wet conditions, it is possible that
a geotextile fabric, placed between the bearing pad and native soils, will be necessary.
In general, before footing concrete is placed, any localized zones of loose soils exposed across the footing
subgrades should be compacted to a firm, unyielding condition, and any localized zones of soft, organic, or
debris-laden soils should be overexcavated and replaced with suitable structural fill.
Lateral Overexcavations: Because foundation stresses arc transferred outward as well as downward into the
bearing soils, all structural fill placed under footings, should extend horizontally outward from the edge of each
footing. This horizontal distance should be equal to the depth of placed fill. Therefore, placed fill that extends
24 inches below the footing base should also extend 24 inches outward from the footing edges.
Subgrade Observation: All footing subgrades should consist affirm, unyielding, native soils, or structural fill
materials that have been compacted to a density ofat least 95 percent (based on ASTM:D-1557). Footings
should never be cast atop loose, soft, or frozen soil, slough, debris, existing uncontrolled fill, or surfaces
covered by standing water.
Bearing Pressures: In our opinion, for static loading, footings that bear on a properly prepared subgrade, or
structural fill bearing pads can be designed for a preliminary allowable soil bearing pressure of2,000 psf. A
one-third increase in allowable soil bearing capacity may be used for short-term loads created by seismic or
wind related activities.
Footing Settlements: Assuming that structural fill soils are compacted to a medium dense or denser state, we
estimate that total post-construction settlements of properly designed footings bearing on properly prepared
subgrades will not exceed I inch. Differential settlements for comparably loaded elements may approach
one-half of the actual total settlement over horizontal distances of approximately 50 feet.
7
April 16, 2015
T15034 / Totenham, LLC -701 Sunset Blvd NE, Renton Geotechnical Engineering Report
Footing Backfill: To provide erosion protection and lateral load resistance, we recommend that all footing
excavations be backfilled on both sides of the footings and stemwalls after the concrete has cured. Either
imported structural fill or non-organic onsite soils can be used for this purpose, contingent on suitable moisture
content at the time of placement. Regardless of soil type, all footing backfill soil should be compacted to a
density of at least 90 percent (based on ASTM:D-1557).
Lateral Resistance: Footings that have been properly backfilled as recommended above will resist lateral
movements by means of passive earth pressure and base friction. We recommend using an allowable passive
earth pressure of250 psffor and an allowable base friction coefficient of0.35 for site soils.
Slab-On-Grade Floors
In our opinion, soil-supported slab-on-grade floors can be used if the subgrades are properly prepared. We
offer the following comments and recommendations concerning slab-on-grade floors.
Floor Subbase: We recommend over-excavation of slab-on-grade floor sub grades to a minimum depth of 4 V,
feet. Slab-on-grade floors should either be constructed on undisturbed native soils or on properly compacted
structural fill as a floor sub base. If floor construction occurs during wet conditions, it is likely that a geotextile
fabric, placed between the structural fill floor subbasc and native soils, will be necessary.
All subbase fill should be compacted to a density ofat least 95 percent (based on ASTM:D-1557).
Capillary Break and Vapor Barrier: To retard the upward wicking of moisture beneath the floor slab, we
recommend that a capillary break be placed over the 12 inch subbase. Ideally, this capillary break would
consist of a 4-inch-thick layer of pea gravel or other clean, uniform, well-rounded gravel, such as "Gravel
Backfill for Drains" per WSDOT Standard Specification 9-03.12(4), but clean angular gravel can be used if it
adequately prevents capillary wicking. In addition, a layer of plastic sheeting (such as Crosstuff, Visqueen, or
Moistop) should be placed over the capillary break to serve as a vapor barrier. During subsequent casting of
the concrete slab, the contractor should exercise care to avoid puncturing this vapor barrier.
4.4 Asphalt Pavement
Since asphalt pavements will be used for the new driveway and parking areas, we offer the following
comments and recommendations for pavement design and construction.
Sub grade Preparation: After removal of any surficial sod, topsoil, or organic-rich fill, all soil subgrades should
be thoroughly compacted, then proof-rolled with a loaded dump truck or heavy compactor. Any localized
zones of yielding subgrade disclosed during this proof-rolling operation should be over excavated to a
maximum depth of 12 inches and replaced with a suitable structural fill material. All structural fill should be
compacted according to our recommendations given in the Structural Fill section. Specifically, the upper 2 feet
of soils underlying pavement section should be compacted to at least 95 percent (based on ASTM D-1557),
and all soils below 2 feet should be compacted to at least 90 percent.
Pavement Materials: For the base course, we recommend using imported crushed rock, such as "Crushed
Surfacing Top Course" per WSDOT Standard Specification 9-03.9(3). If a subbase course is needed, we
recommend using imported, clean, well-graded sand and gravel such as "Ballast" or "Gravel Borrow" per
WSDOT Standard Specifications 9-03.9(1) and 9-03.14, respectively.

April 16, 2015
T15034 I Totenham, LLC -701 Sunset Blvd NE, Renton Geotechnical Engineering Report
Conventional Asphalt Sections: A conventional pavement section typically comprises an asphalt concrete
pavement over a crushed rock base course. We recommend using the following conventional pavement
sections:
Pavement Course
Asphalt Concrete Pavement
Crushed Rock Base
Granular Fill Subbase (if needed)
Minimum Thickness
Parking Areas
2 inches
4inches
6 inches
Driveways
3 inches
6 inches
8 inches
Compaction and Observation: All subbase and base course material should be compacted to at least 95 percent
of the Modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D-1557), and all asphalt concrete should be compacted
to at least 92 percent of the Rice value (ASTM D-2041). We recommend that an E3RA representative be
retained to observe the compaction of each course before any overlying layer is placed. For the sub base and
pavement course, compaction is best observed by means of frequent density testing. For the base course,
methodology observations and hand-probing are more appropriate than density testing.
Pavement Life and Maintenance: No asphalt pavement is maintenance-free. The above described pavement
sections present our minimum recommendations for an average level of performance during a 20-year design
life; therefore, an average level of maintenance will likely be required. Furthermore, a 20-year pavement life
typically assumes that an overlay will be placed after about 10 years. Thicker asphalt and/or thicker base and
subbase courses would offer better long-term performance, but would cost more initially; thinner courses
would be more susceptible to "alligator" cracking and other failure modes. As such, pavement design can be
considered a compromise between a high initial cost and low maintenance costs versus a low initial cost and
higher maintenance costs.
4.5 Structural Fill
The term "structural fill" refers to any material placed under foundations, retaining walls, slab-on-grade floors,
sidewalks, pavements, and other structures. Our comments, conclusions, and recommendations concerning
structural fill are presented in the following paragraphs.
Materials: Typical structural fill materials include clean sand, gravel, pea gravel, washed rock, crushed rock,
well-graded mixtures of sand and gravel (commonly called "gravel borrow" or "pit-run"), and miscellaneous
mixtures of silt, sand, and gravel. Recycled asphalt, concrete, and glass, which are derived from pulverizing
the parent materials, are also potentially useful as structural fill in certain applications. Soils used for structural
fill should not contain any organic matter or debris, nor any individual particles greater than about 6 inches in
diameter.
Fill Placement: Clean sand, gravel, crushed rock, soil mixtures, and recycled materials should be placed in
horizontal lifts not exceeding 8 inches in loose thickness, and each lift should be thoroughly compacted with a
mechanical compactor.
Compaction Criteria: Using the Modified Proctor test (ASTM:D-1557) as a standard, we recommend that
structural fill used for various onsite applications be compacted to the following minimum densities:

Subgrade Observation and Compaction Testing: Regardless of material or location, all structural fill should be
placed over firm, uuyielding subgrades prepared in accordance with the Site Preparation section of this report.
The condition of all subgrades should be observed by geotechnical personnel before filling or construction
begins. Also, fill soil compaction should be verified by means of in-place density tests performed during fill
placement so that adequacy of soil compaction efforts may be evaluated as earthwork progresses.
Soil Moisture Considerations: The suitability of soils used for structural fill depends primarily on their
grain-size distribution and moisture content when they are placed. As the "fines" content (that soil fraction
passing the U.S. No. 200 Sieve) increases, soils become more sensitive to small changes in moisture content.
Soils containing more than about 5 percent fines (by weight) cannot be consistently compacted to a firm,
uuyielding condition when the moisture content is more than 2 percentage points above or below optimum.
For fill placement during wet-weather site work, we recommend using "clean" fill, which refers to soils that
have a fines content of 5 percent or less (by weight) based on the soil fraction passing the U.S. No. 4 Sieve.
5.0 RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Because the future performance and integrity of the structural elements will depend largely on proper site
preparation, drainage, fill placement, and construction procedures, monitoring and testing by experienced
geotechnical personnel should be considered an integral part of the construction process. Consequently, we
recommend that E3RA be retained to provide the following post-report services:
• Review all construction plans and specifications to verify that our design criteria presented in
this report have been properly integrated into the design;
• Prepare a letter summarizing all review comments (if required);
• Check all completed subgrades for footings and slab-on-grade floors before concrete is
poured, in order to verify their bearing capacity;
• Prepare a post-construction letter summarizing all field observations, inspections, and test
results (ifrequired); and

The designation shall be revocable at any time by actual notice to the Association from a
party having an ownership interest in a Lot, or by actual notice to the Association of the

has been made, the voting representative of each Lot shall be the group composed of all

right to vote on the matter in question. In the event more than one vote is cast for a
particular Lot, none of said votes shall be counted and said votes shall be deemed void.

been notified of any such pledge to a Mortgagee, or in the event the record Owner or
Owners have otherwise pledged their vote regarding special matters to a Mortgagee under
a fully recorded mortgage, or to the vendor under a duly recorded real estate contract,
only the vote of such Mortgagee or vendor will be recognized in regard to the special

vendors, if any.

ASSOCIATION FINANCES
5.1. BUDGETING AND ALLOCATING COMMON EXPENSES. At least sixty (60)
days before the beginning of each fiscal year, the Board shall prepare a budget of the
estimated Common Expenses for the coming year, including any contributions to be
made to a reserve fund. The budget shall reflect the sources and estimated amounts of
funds to cover such expenses, which may include any surplus to be applied from prior
years, any income expected from sources other than assessments levied against the Lots,
and the amount to be generated through the levy of Base Assessments and Special
Assessments against the Lots.
5.1.1. The Association is hereby authorized to levy assessments equally
against all Lots subject to assessment hereunder to fund the Common Expenses ( each a
"Base Assessment"). In determining the Base Assessment rate per Lot, the Board may
consider any assessment income expected to be generated from any additional Lots
reasonably anticipated to become subject to assessment during the fiscal year.
5.1.2. Declarant may, but shall not be obligated to, reduce the Base
Assessment for any fiscal year by payment of a subsidy, which may be either a
contribution, an advance against future assessments due from Declarant, or a loan, in
Declarant's discretion. Any such subsidy shall be disclosed as a line item in the income
portion of the budget. Payment of such subsidy in any year shall not obligate Declarant
to continue payment of such subsidy in future years, unless otherwise provided in a
written agreement between the Association and Declarant.
5.1.3. Within thirty (30) days after the adoption of a final budget by the
Board, the Board shall send to each Owner a copy of the final budget, notice of the
amount of the Base Assessment to be levied pursuant to such budget, and notice of a
meeting to consider ratification of the budget. Such meeting shall be held not less than
fourteen (14) nor more than sixty (60) days from the mailing of such materials. The
budget and assessment shall be ratified unless disapproved at a meeting by Members
representing at least 51 % of the Total Association Vote. Such ratification shall be
effective whether or not a quorum is present.
5.1.4. If any proposed budget is disapproved or the Board fails for any
reason to determine the budget for any year, then the budget most recently in effect shall
continue in effect until a new budget is determined.
701 Sunset Blvd Declaration

page 9
5.1.5. The Board may revise the budget and adjust the Base Assessment
from time to time during the year, subject to the notice requirements and the right of the
Members to disapprove the revised budget as set forth above.
5.2. BUDGETING FOR RESERVES. The Board shall prepare and periodically
review a reserve budget for the Common Areas and for Exterior Maintenance
requirements. The reserve budget shall take into account the number and nature of
replaceable assets, the expected life of each asset and the expected repair or replacement
cost. The Board shall include in the budget, a capital contribution to fund reserves in an
amount sufficient to meet the projected need with respect both to amount and timing.
5.3. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. In addition to other authorized assessments, the
Association may levy separate assessments to cover unbudgeted expenses or expenses in
excess of those budgeted ( each a "Special Assessment"). Except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Declaration, any Special Assessment shall require the
affirmative vote or written consent of Owners representing more than 50% of the Total
Association Vote. Special Assessments shall be payable in such manner and at such
times as determined by the Board, and may be payable in installments extending beyond
the fiscal year in which the Special Assessment is approved.
5.4. SPECIFIC ASSESSMENTS. The Association shall have the power to levy
specific assessments against a particular Lot ( each a "Specific Assessment") as follows:
(a) to cover the costs, including overhead and administrative costs,
of providing services to Lots upon request of an Owner pursuant to any menu of special
services which may be offered by the Association. Specific Assessments for special
services may be levied in advance of the provision of the requested service; and
(b) to cover costs incurred in bringing the Lot into compliance with
the Governing Documents, or costs incurred as a consequence of the conduct of the
Owner or occupants of the Lot, their agents, contractors, employees, licensees, invitees,
or guests, including any such costs related to maintenance, repair or replacement of the
exteriors of improvements or of utilities or other systems serving such improvements;
provided, the Board shall give the Lot Owner prior written notice and an opportunity for
a hearing, in accordance with the Bylaws, before levying any Specific Assessment under
this subsection (b ).
5.5. AUTHORITY TO ASSESS OWNERS. Declarant hereby establishes and the
Association is hereby authorized to levy assessments as provided for in this Article and
elsewhere in this Declaration. The obligation to pay assessments shall commence as to
each Lot, after the Board first determines a budget and levies assessments, and after the
Lot is first conveyed to an Owner by Declarant. The first annual Base Assessment levied
on each Lot shall be adjusted according to the number of months remaining in the fiscal
year at the time assessments commence on the Lot.
701 Sunset Blvd Declaration
ND: 18354.005 4848-7673-8817v7
page JO
5.6. Tn1E Of PAYME!liT. Assessments shall be paid in such manner and on
such dates as the Board may establish. The Board may require advance payment of
assessments at closing of the transfer of title to a Lot and impose special requirements for
Owners with a history of delinquent payment. If the Board so elects, annual assessments
may be paid in monthly or quarterly installments. If any Owner is delinquent in paying
any assessments or other charges levied on the Owner's Lot, the Board may require the
outstanding balance on all assessments to be paid in full immediately.
5.7. OBLIGATION FOR ASSESSMENTS.
5.7.1. Personal Obligation. Each Owner, by accepting a deed or
entering into a recorded contract of sale for any portion of the Property, is deemed to
covenant and agree to pay all assessments authorized herein. All assessments, together
with interest ( computed from its due date at a rate of 12% per annum or such higher rate
as the Board may establish, subject to the limitations of Washington law), late charges as
determined by Board resolution, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be the
personal obligation of each Owner and a lien upon each Lot until paid in full. Upon a
transfer of title to a Lot, the grantee shall be jointly and severally liable for any
assessments and other charges due at the time of conveyance.
(a) Failure of the Board to fix assessment amounts or rates or
to deliver or mail each Owner an assessment notice shall not be deemed a waiver,
modification, or a release of any Owner from the obligation to pay assessments.
In such event, each Owner shall continue to pay Base Assessments on the same
basis as during the last year for which an assessment was made, if any, until a new
assessment is levied, at which time the Association may retroactively assess any
shortfalls in collections.
(b) No Owner is exempt from liability for assessments by non-
use of Common Areas, abandonment of the Owner's Lot, or any other means.
The obligation to pay assessments is a separate and independent covenant on the
part of each Owner. No diminution or abatement of assessments or setoff shall be
claimed or allowed for any alleged failure of the Association or Board to take
some action or perform some function required of it, or for inconvenience or
discomfort arising from the making of repairs or improvements, or from any other
action it takes.
( c) Upon written request, the Association shall furnish to any
Owner liable for any type of assessment a certificate in writing signed by an
Association officer setting forth whether such assessment has been paid. Such
certificate shall be conclusive evidence of payment. The Association may require
the advance payment of a reasonable processing fee for the issuance of such
certificate.

page 11
5.7.2. Declarant's Option to Fond Budget Deficits. During the
Declarant Control Period, Declarant may satisfy its obligation for assessments, if any, on
Lots which it owns either by paying such assessments in the same manner as any other
Owner or by paying the difference between the amount of assessments levied on all other
Lots subject to assessment and the amount of actual expenditures by the Association
during the fiscal year. Unless Declarant otherwise notifies the Board in writing at least
sixty (60) days before the beginning of each fiscal year, Declarant shall be deemed to
have elected to continue paying on the same basis as during the immediately preceding
fiscal year. Regardless ofDeclarant's election, Declarant's obligations hereunder may be
satisfied in the form of cash or by "in kind" contributions of services or materials, or by a
combination of these. After termination of the Declarant Control Period, Declarant shall
pay assessments on its unsold Lots in the same manner as any other Owner.
5.8. LIEN FOR ASSESSMENTS. The Association shall have a lien against each
Lot to secure payment of delinquent assessments, as well as interest, late charges (subject
to the limitations of Washington law) and costs of collection (including attorneys' fees).
Such lien shall be superior to all other liens, except (a) the liens of all taxes, bonds,
assessments and other levies which by law would be superior and (b) the lien or charge of
any recorded first Mortgage (meaning any recorded Mortgage with first priority over
other Mortgages) made in good faith and for value. Such lien, when delinquent, may be
enforced by suit, judgment and judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure.
5.8.1. The Association may bid for the Lot at the foreclosure sale and
acquire, hold, lease, mortgage and convey the Lot. While a Lot is owned by the
Association following foreclosure: (a) no right to vote shall be exercised on its behalf;
(b) no assessment shall be levied on it; and ( c) each other Lot shall be charged, in
addition to its usual assessment, its pro rata share of the assessment that would have been
charged such Lot had it not been acquired by the Association. The Association may sue
for unpaid assessments and other charges authorized hereunder without foreclosing or
waiving the lien securing the same.
5.8.2. Sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the assessment lien or
relieve such Lot from the lien for any subsequent assessments. However, the sale or
transfer of any Lot pursuant to foreclosure of the first Mortgage shall extinguish the lien
as to any installments of such assessments due prior to the Mortgagee's foreclosure. The
subsequent Owner to the foreclosed Lot shall not be personally liable for assessments on
such Lot due prior to such acquisition of title. Such unpaid assessments shall be deemed
to be Common Expenses collectible from Owners of all Lots subject to assessment under
Section 4.6, including such acquirer, its successors and assigns.
5.9. EXEMPT PROPERTY. The following property shall be exempt from
payment of Base Assessments and Special Assessments:
(a) Any property dedicated or conveyed to and accepted by any
governmental entity or public utility; and
701 Sunset Blvd Declaration
ND: 18354.005 4848-7673-88 I 7v7
page 12
(b) Property owned by the Association for the common use and
enjoyment of such Associations' members.
5.10. CAPITALIZATION OF AsSOCIA TION. Upon acquisition of record title to a
Lot by the first Owner thereof other than Declarant, a contribution shall be made by or on
behalf of the purchaser to the working capital of the Association in an amount equal to
one-sixth of the annual Base Assessment per Lot for that year. This amount shall be in
addition to, not in lieu of, the annual Base Assessment and shall not be considered an
advance payment of such assessment. This amount shall be deposited into the purchase
and sales escrow and disbursed therefrom to the Association for use in covering operating
expenses and other expenses incurred by the Association pursuant to this Declaration and
the Bylaws.

guests, lessees or invitees of any Owner, and is not covered or paid for by insurance, in
whole or in part, then the Association may perform such maintenance, repair or
replacement at such Owner's sole cost and expense, and all costs thereof shall be added
to and become a part of the assessment to which such Owner is subject and shall become

and use of the Property, and such other risks as are customarily covered with respect to

must be disbursed first for the repair or restoration of the damaged property, and Lot
Owners and lienholders are not entitled to receive payment of any portion of the proceeds
unless there is a surplus of proceeds after the Property has been completely repaired or
restored. Each Owner appoints the Association, any insurance trustee or successor
trustee designated by the Association, as attorney in fact for the purpose of purchasing

policy provides primary insurance.

ND: 18354.005 4848-7673-88 l 7v7
par;e 21
8.5.4. Coverage shall not be prejudiced by (a) any act, omission, or
neglect of the Owners of Lots when such act or neglect is not within the scope of

comply with any warranty or condition with regard to any portion of the premises over
which the Association has no control.
8.5.5. Such policies shall include a waiver of subrogation by the insurer
as to any and all claims against the Association, the Owner of any Lot, and/or their

shall mean and include all Mortgagees of any Lot or Lot lease or sublease in their

Mortgagee shall not be invalidated by any act or neglect of the Board or Owners
or any persons under any of them;
8.5.6.3. Waive any provision invalidating such mortgage clause by
reason of the failure of any Mortgagee to notify the insurer of any hazardous use
or vacancy, any requirement that the Mortgagee pay any premium thereon, and

such mortgagee clause, any proceeds payable under such policy shall be payable
to the Association or the insurance trustee.

maintain fidelity insurance for its officers, employees, and agents who handle or who are
responsible for handling funds of, or administered by, the Association.

such insurance, the Owner shall be responsible for any damage or loss to the Owner's Lot
and improvements constructed thereon up to the amount of the deductible of the

ARTICLE 13.
LAWSUITS OR ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS
13.1. GENERAL. The potential for material adverse consequences to the Owners
of legal proceedings involving material disputes merit careful evaluation and
consideration before committing the Owners to a course of action. As a result, the
Association shall evaluate those consequences and receive the approval of the Owners in
accordance with this Section before pursuing significant legal proceedings. Proceedings
by the Association to collect delinquent assessments including an action to foreclose the
Association's lien, or proceedings to enforce the provisions of the Declaration or the rules
and regulations are not significant legal proceedings for purposes of this Section, and
those actions may be brought without regard to the procedures stated in this Section.
13.2. INITIAL DETERMINATIONS. The Association shall make the following
determinations and summarize the same in a written report (the "Litigation Report") prior
to commencing any litigation, administrative proceedings, arbitration proceedings, or
mediation ("Proceedings"), except as provided below for an emergency filing: (i) the
principal amount sought to be recovered; (ii) an estimate of the amount of attorneys' fees
which will be chargeable to the Association at each stage of the Proceedings ( e.g., prior
to commencing litigation, prior to any arbitration hearing, mediation, or trial, those to be
incurred at mediation, arbitration, or trial, those that may be incurred at any subsequent
trial de novo or appeal, and in the collection of any judgment or award); (iii) whether the
attorneys' fees will be charged on an hourly or contingent basis; (iv) the estimated cost of
all witnesses or investigators including bookkeepers, accountants, consultants,
investigators, contractors, and experts; (iv) the factual and legal basis supporting the
Association's claims in the Proceedings; (v) the legal and factual basis of any defense or
counterclaim against the Association or the Owners; (vii) an estimate of the amounts
which the Association or Owners may be required to pay if it does not prevail in the
Proceedings including the principal amount claimed and recoverable attorneys' fees and
costs of litigation; (viii) a legal opinion prepared by legal counsel who is independent
from the legal counsel whom the Association proposes to hire to pursue the Proceedings,
and which contains a "valuation" of the Association's claims on the basis of the actual
amounts in dispute, the likelihood of the Association prevailing on those claims, and the
70 I Sunset Blvd Declaration
ND: 18354.005 4848-7673-88 l 7v7
page 30
merit of the defenses to those claims; (ix) an evaluation of any negative consequences the
Owners could suffer by reason of the proposed Proceedings including the impact of
required disclosures on any Unit sales or refinancings while the Proceedings are pending.
If the Proceedings involve an alleged breach of any warranty by Declarant, the
Association shall include in the Litigation Report the Association's demand to Declarant
and Declarant's response pursuant to RCW 64.50.
13.3. EMERGENCY FILINGS. The Association may make any filing necessary to
satisfy a statute of limitations deadline prior to completing the procedures stated in this
Section. Provided, however, the Association may not incur or commit itself to expending
more than $5,000 in connection with any such Proceedings prior to fulfilling the
requirements of this Article 13. In any event, the Association shall satisfy the
requirements of this Section within 90 days after making any such emergency filing.
13.4. PROCEEDINGS INVOLVING LESS THAN $25,000. If the amount involved
in the Proceedings is less than $25,000, then the Association may omit from the
Litigation Report the legal opinion from independent counsel concerning a valuation of
the Proceedings and the Association may proceed with the Proceedings without obtaining
the approval of the Owners as provided below. In determining whether the $25,000
threshold has been exceeded, the calculation shall include the principal amount claimed
by the Association, all costs of pursuing the Proceedings, and all amounts which may be
recovered against the Association or Owners if the Association does not prevail. If the
Association initially commences Proceedings under the reasonable belief that the amount
involved is less than $25,000, but later discovers that the $25,000 threshold could be
exceeded, then the Association shall stay the Proceedings until it has complied with all
requirements of this Section.
13.5. RECOMME:"iDA TION TO AND APPROVAL BY THE OWNERS. If the amount
involved in the Proceedings exceeds $25,000, then the Association shall transmit the
Litigation Report together with the Association's recommendation to each Unit Owner.
The Owners shall consider the Association's recommendation at a special meeting called
for that purpose within 60 days of delivery of the Litigation Report.
13.6. APPROVAL BY THE OWNERS. The Association shall not commence the
Proceedings or enter into any engagement or commitment in that regard unless that action
is first approved by Owners holding 75% of the total votes in the Association. The
