Home My WebLink AboutC_Updated On Hold Comments_2410171 Jill Ding From:Jill Ding Sent:Thursday, October 17, 2024 7:46 AM To:'Hamid Korasani'; Amin Gilani; Clark Close; Nathan Janders Cc:Daniel Finnigan; Yong Qi; Altaf GILANI Subject:RE: Renton Highland Short Plat Corrections LUA24-000078 Good Morning, Thank you all for taking the time to meet yesterday. I think that the meeting we had was productive and hopefully provided clarification of the outstanding items that needed to be addressed before the short plat review could move forward. I have put together a summary of outstanding comments that need to be addressed, please see the comments below: Fire Comments: 1. A cul-de-sac turnaround is the code requirement to provide emergency access to the proposed short plat. The Fire Department would consider granting a variance to this requirement, provided a hammerhead turnaround is provided at the intersection of Pasco Pl NE and NE 8th Street and all individual homes within the short plat are equipped with fire sprinkler systems. Engineering Comments: 1. The project site drains to both the Lower Cedar River and May Creek basins. To comply with Core Requirement #1 of the City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual (RSWDM), the applicant would need to demonstrate that runoff will be mitigated for within each drainage basin as per the project site’s topography. 2. Infiltration tests for the project site prepared by a licensed civil/geotechnical engineer needs to be provided for both Basins, which will be used to evaluate if the site is suitable or unsuitable for infiltration per 2022 RSWDM. 3. The downstream analysis only discusses the Cedar River/Lake Washington watershed however, it needs to assess both separate drainage basins (Lower Cedar River and May Creek) within the watershed. 4. The TIR would need to be revised to include a discussion on how the proposed pump design complies with the durational flows for “matching forested site condition” as specified in Core Requirement #3. 5. The setback to tract lines for vaults is 5-feet per Section 5.1.3.1 of the 2022 RSWDM. The northwest corner of the vault is shown crossing a tract line (into the shared driveway tract), this encroachment would need to be removed and the facility would need to demonstrate compliance with the required 5-foot setback requirement. 2 6. Lot impervious surface coverage is calculated individually for each lot. Per Section 1.1.2.1 of the 2022 RSWDM, the minimum impervious surface coverage for a residential subdivision shall be assumed as 4,000 SF or the maximum allowed per RMC 4-2-110A, whichever is less. The modeling within the TIR would need to be updated to comply with this requirement. 7. After confirming with Nate Janders and Section 1.2.3.1.B of Minimum Required performance in 2022 RSWDM, the replaced impervious surface (down to base course or bare soil) within the NE 8th Street that is not fully dispersed as specified in Appendix C is considered as target surfaces, and shall use forested condition as existing to size the detention facility. 8. The civil construction plan set and TIR need to be revised to match the updated site plan with hammerhead turnaround required by Fire Authority. We look forward to receiving the updated short plat submittal items so that review of your short plat can continue.

In this meeting, we also like to invite the representative from the fire marshal office to clarify and confirm all communications so we can respond to all comments in a comprehensive manner. The owner keeps asking us why the project is on hold and NOT getting through the review comments. My response to Amin has been that your project was deemed acceptable when it was reviewed by Clark and the checklist was confirmed and all documents were submitted and the application was taken in and the fees were paid. Any correspondences from that point on will be through a complete and comprehensive review cycles. Having said that, would you please confirm what review cycle we are in at this point. As a reminder, it should be mentioned that we have gone through many coordination meetings to date (14 meetings to date), and there are still unclear conditions to be verified. Therefore, we appreciate if you would please organize a meeting where all departments can participate so we can complete our response to a single comprehensive package that covers all aspects of the project. Your swift response t this matter is greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance, Please feel free to contact me at your convenience if you have any questions.. Best regards, Hamid Korasani, P.E.

I wanted to let you know since you are coming in at this stage of the project and based on coordination with Nathan "the engineering division manager' that the updated TRI will be submitted with your first round of comprehensive corrections including comments from all departments. We need to ensure our response also covers all other aspects of the work, therefore a comprehensive response will be provided when we receive your complete review comments so they can all be addressed collectively (please refer to the letter from engineering that states the matters brought up in the letter need to be addressed prior to the land use approval). Unless you are ready to approve the plat based on this information (TIR), then we can submit that to you right away to obtain your final preliminary plat decision. Please give me a call to go over the details at your earliest convenience. Many Thanks. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience if you have any questions..
