REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION,
APPLICANT: Clyde W. Downing/Bruno J. Nicoli FILE NO. Short Plat No. 056-77
E-057-77
W-058-77
LOCATION: Located approximately 100 feet south of North 40th Street
between Park Avenue North and Meadow Avenue North.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Applicant requests approval of four-lot short plat, together
with approval of exception for two pipestem lots and waiver
of the off-site improvements requirements (curb, gutter, and
sidewalk) of the Renton Subdivision Ordinance.
SUMMARY OF Planning Department: Approval with conditions.
RECOMMENDATION:
Hearing Examiner: Approval with conditions.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT The Planning Department staff report was received by the
REPORT: Examiner on July 20, 1977.
PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Planning Department report, examining
available information on file with the application, and
field checking the property and surrounding area, the
Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as
follows:
The hearing was opened on July 26, 1977 at 1:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the
Renton Municipal Building.
Parties wishing to testify were sworn.
It was reported that the Hearing Examiner and the applicants had received and reviewed
the Planning Department report, and the report was entered into the record as Exhibit #1.
Michael Smith, Planning Department, reviewed Exhibit #1, and entered the following
additional exhibits into the record:
Exhibit #2: King County Assessor's Map
Exhibit #3: Short Plat Map
Mr. Smith submitted verbal revisions to the exhibits which included changing the term
"tract" on the short plat map to "lot," requiring approval by the King County Assessor's
office, and submitting entire short plat to King County for filing to preclude further
confusion regarding lot lines of the property. He indicated that no further
subdivision of the property would be allowed in the future unless application is made
through a major plat process and would be required to include provision of a 50-foot
street along the south property line for proper access. In addition, he stated that
the Utilities Division would require a 15-foot easement along the south property line
to provide for future utilities.
The Examiner asked for clarification regarding northern property line designations on
the assessor's map, and asked if the property had been surveyed originally. Mr. Smith
reported that the map shows the original miscalculated property line with a 14-foot
encroachment designated by a dashed line. He stated that the encroachment did not
create violations of setbacks on the proposed four parcels since all existing houses
maintain 10 to 20-foot sideyards.
The Examiner inquired about the exception request for a reduction in pipestem width to
Lot "C" and supplemental requirements in relationship to sideyards on Lot "D." He
noted that pipestem requirements indicate a minimum width of 20 feet and suggested that
a variance for width reduction be requested from the Board of Adjustment. Discussion
ensued with Mr. Smith regarding the authority responsible for approval of such a
variance in compliance with the code. The Examiner indicated that he would request
clarification from the City Attorney on the matter.
The Examiner asked the applicants if they concurred in Exhibit #1. Responding was:

Short Plat No. 056-77 Page Two
E-057-77
W-058-77
Clyde W. Downing
31424 W. Lake Morton Drive
Kent, Washington 98031
Mr. Downing indicated his concurrence. Also responding was:
Mrs. J. Lissman
3930 Park Avenue North
Renton, WA 98055
Mrs. Lissman reported that she is the sister of the applicant, Mr. Nicoli, and indicated
his concurrence in Exhibit #1. She requested a reduction of the pipestem width on
her property, Lot "B", from 25 feet to 20 feet to accommodate future construction of a
carport. Mr. Smith indicated that since the pipestem was situated in the major portion
of the lot, the construction of the carport would not affect the width requirement.
The Examiner asked for further testimony in support or opposition to the request.
Responding was:
Paul Kullama
1417 N. 40th Street
Renton, WA 98055
Mr. Kullama briefly reviewed the history of development in the area, indicating that
miscalculation of lot lines was inadvertent owing to location of an existing line
fence at the time of development.
The Examiner asked the applicants if they would agree to participate in a future LID
in the area. Mr. Downing stated that he was agreeable, although as a builder he would
construct the homes for sale purposes and did not intend to reside in the area. Mrs.
Lissman indicated her willingness to participate in a future LID on an equitable basis.
The Examiner asked the applicants if they were aware of the recommendation for a 15-
foot easement along the southern portion of the property for future utility provisions.
Mrs. Lissman indicated that the portion on her lot had already been deeded and Mr.
Downing indicated his concurrence.
The Examiner asked for further comments. There were none. The Examiner asked Mr.
Smith for additions, corrections or modifications to Exhibit #1. Mr. Smith reported
that the department would accept approval of an exception to reduce the pipestem width
to 15 feet if the Examiner so recommended. The Examiner indicated that he would
contact the City Attorney in regards to the responsible authority to make a
determination in the matter.
The Examiner asked for further comments. Since there were none, the hearing on Item
#Short Plat No. 056-77, E-057-77 and W-058-77 was closed by the Examiner at 2:15 p.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS: Having reviewed the record in this matter,
the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
l. The request is for approval of a four-lot short plat, exception to allow pipestem
lots, and waiver of the required off-site improvements of curb, gutter and sidewalk.
2. The Planning Department report accurately sets forth the issues, applicable policies
and provisions, findings of fact, and departmental recommendations in this matter,
(is uncontested), and is hereby attached as Exhibit #1 and incorporated in this
report by reference as set forth in full herein.
3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental
Policy Act of 1971, as amended by R.C.W. 43.21.C., the proposal was determined to
be exempt from the threshold determination by Gordon Y. Ericksen, responsible
official.
4. Plans for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the
impact of this development and no adverse comment was expressed.
5. There was no opposition to the proposal expressed.
Short Plat No. 056-77 Page Three
E~-057-77
W-058-77
6. All existing utilities are available and in close proximity.
7. The proposal is compatible with the required setbacks, minimum lot area and minimum
lot dimensions of Sections 4-706 and R-729 of the Code, with the exception of the
existing residence on Tract D which is 4 to 4.5 feet from the proposed pipestem.
The required side yard setback is 5 feet.
8. The south property line of Tracts C and D has been surveyed and marked. The
distance from this property line and the existing residence on Tract D is between
24 and 24.5 feet. A minimum distance of 25 feet is required by the Sections 4-706
(5 foot side yard setback) and 9-1108.F(d) (20 foot minimum width of pipestems) .
9. Curbs, gutters and sidewalks do not exist along Park Avenue N. or Meadow Avenue N.
nor have final grades been established. Both applicants agreed to participate in
an LID for improvement of these streets.
10. The City Attorney's office has advised the Planning Department that the proposal
is an acceptable means of clarifying the uncertain previous history of division
of the property.
11. Section 9-1108.F(d) specifies that pipestem lots may be approved as an exception
to the Subdivision Ordinance requirements. A minimum pipestem width of 20 feet
is stipulated in this section; however, Section 9-1109 (Exceptions) specifies
that exceptions may be made "...from the requirements of this ordinance, when...
undue hardship may be created as a result of strict compliance with the provisions
of this ordinance." Originally the applicant applied for only an exception to
allow pipestem lots. It was not until just prior to the public hearing that a
survey was made of the property which revealed the need for an exception to allow
slightly less than the minimum 20 foot pipestem width.
12. Approximately the north 14 feet of the site appear to belong to the properties to
the north through adverse possession. This causes no violation of required
setbacks, lot area or lot width.
13. The applicant representing Tracts A and B requested in the hearing that the 25-foot
wide pipestem serving Tract B be reduced to 20 feet, which conforms to Section
9-1108.F(d).
14. A 15-foot utility easement along the south property line of the site was requested
by the Utilities Division. Both applicants expressed agreement to granting this
easement and the owner of Tract B indicated that she had already granted this
easement.
15. The required certification and approval forms have not been included on the short
plat drawing, Exhibit No. 3.
16. Sections 9-1105.6.B. and 9-1109.1 contain the requirements for granting a Waiver
of Off-Site Improvements. Staff recommended indefinite deferral of the improvements
per Section 9-1108.21. No testimony was entered to indicate that the final grades
for Park Avenue N. or Meadow Avenue N. were being established or would be
established within two years to permit installation of the improvements.
17. The site will accommodate a maximum of four lots.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposed Short Plat is a reasonable request which meets the goals and policies
of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Report and the intent of zoning and subdivision
requirements.
2. Sufficient flexibility exists in the Subdivision Ordinance, Section 9-1109
(Exceptions) to preclude the need for a variance from the 5-foot side yard
setback for Tract D. In order to accomplish this, an exception must be granted
to reduce the pipestem width of Tract C to 19 or 19.5 feet from the 20 foot minimum
requirement.
The circumstances involved in this proposal are much that "...undue hardship may be
created as a result of strict compliance with the provisions of this Ordinance."
(9-1109.1). A variance application and hearing by the Board of Adjustment would
cause delay of the short plat. Strict application of the Ordinance would potentially
prohibit separating Tracts C and D, which "...would deprive the applicant of the
reasonable...development of his land." (9-1109.1.A). No testimony was given that
e
Short Plat No. 056-77 Page Four
E-057-77
W-058-77
other pipestem lots exist in the near vicinity, however, other properties have
been subdivided into lots of smaller size than contained within the proposal. It
seems reasonable for the applicant to subdivide his property into smaller lots
as well (9-1109.1.B). Granting of the exception "...will not be detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to other property in the vicinity." (9-1109.1.C.).
No opposition to the proposal was expressed or any indications given of any such
injury occurring.
3. The proposed pipestem lots are a reasonable exception to the Subdivision Ordinance
. (9-1108.23:(d)). Undue hardship would be produced upon the applicants if the
exception were not granted since division of the property could not otherwise occur
in view of the loss of 14 feet of the north portion of the site. (9-1109.1).
Otherwise, the applicants would be deprived of "...the reasonable...development of
(their) land" (9-1109.1.A.) and would be denied the use of their property similar
to that "...enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity..." (9-1109.1.B.). The
proposal will not be "...detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other
property in the vicinity" (9-1109.1.C.).
4. Upon comparison, it appears that the criteria for a Waiver (9-1105.6.B and 9-1109.1)
are more applicable to this proposal than the criteria for a Deferment (9-1108.21).
Since utilities exist on the property, only curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements
are at issue. Section 9-1108.21.B. stipulates that a deferral is for only a
maximum of two years, after which the improvements must be installed. However, in
the past deferments for an indefinite period have been granted pending formation
of an LID.
Section 9-1105.6.B. provides that a waiver must be justified,among other criteria,
by the "...absence of such improvements located within a reasonable distance and/
or the conditions outlined in Section 9-1109.1.A." Clearly no curbs, gutters
or sidewalks exist in the vicinity, and these improvements would very likely be
of low priority for future construction for at least two years and very probably
more. Construction of these improvements would create an "...undue hardship..."
upon the applicant if it had to occur in two years or without the economies
associated with an LID.
It is reasonable to assume that curbs, gutters and sidewalks will be constructed
in the future through an LID. Justification has not been presented to substantiate
not ever making such improvements in the future adjacent to the proposal. On
the contrary, the applicant has agreed to participate in an LID. Therefore, it
seems reasonable to approve the waiver subject to future participation in an LID.
The improvements should not be waived completely.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based upon the record, testimony, and foregoing findings and conclusions, it is
recommended:
1. Approval of the short plat provided:
a. Term "tract" be changed to "parcel" or "lot;"
b. Placement of certification and approval forms on the plat drawing;
c. Dedication of 15-foot utility easement along the south property line;
d. Correction of north portion of the property to reflect reduction by 14 feet
per Exhibit #3;
e. No further subdivision of the property within five years without filing a
final plat; and
f. Preservation of as many existing trees as possible.
2. Approval of the exception to grant two pipestem lots provided:
a. Tract B pipestem width to be 20 feet wide; and
b. Tract C pipestem to be as wide as possible, but at least 19 feet, while
providing a 5-foot side yard setback for the existing house on Tract D as
determined by the Planning Department.
3. Approval of the waiver of off-site improvements until such time as an LID is
formed whereby the applicants will contribute their fair shares on an equitable
basis per applicable laws with other property owners in the area.
4. Subject to compliance with all other applicable requirements of the Subdivision
Ordinance and zoning regulations.

RE: CLYDE DOWNING/BRUNO.NICOLI'S SHORT PLAT, EXCEPTION,
AND WAIVER APPLICATIONS
Dear Mr. Hatton:
Unfortunately we received your letter dated July 21, 1977
regarding the Downing/Nicoli Short Plat application on July 27,
which was the day after the public hearing. Although we cannot
enter your letter into the public hearing record, we feel that
your concerns were properly covered in this department's staff
report to the Hearing Examiner. We did indicate in our report
and at the hearing that if a full twenty foot wide pipestem is
allowed, the resulting setback from your house would be approxi-
mately four feet. Because of this situation, and the need for a
full five foot side yard for your house as required by ordinance,
the Planning Department recommended that an exception to allow
reduction in the pipestem width be granted.
If the Hearing Examiner concurs in the staff report and grants
such an exception a minimum five foot side yard as required by
ordinance will be created along the south side of your house,
resulting in a pipestem width of approximately nineteen feet.
We hope that this addresses your concerns regarding the possible
four foot side yard mentioned in your letter. The Hearing Examiner
will be sending you a copy of his decision within the next two
weeks.
Very truly yours,
Gordon Y. Ericksen

SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Applicant requests approval of four-lot short plat, together with
approval of exception for two pipestem lots and waiver of the
off-site improvements requirements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk)
of the Renton Subdivision Ordinance.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
1. Owner of Record: C. W. DOWNING/BRUNO J. NICOLI
2. Applicant: C. W. DOWNING/BRUNO J. NICOLI
a. Location: Located approximately 100 feet south of
North 40th Street between Park Avenue
North and Meadow Avenue North.
4. Legal Description: A detailed legal description is available
on file in the Renton Planning Department.
5. size of Property: Approximately 1.2 acres.
6. Access: Via Park Avenue North and Meadow Avenue
North.
7. Existing Zoning: G-7200, General Classification District,
Single Family Residence.
8. Existing Zoning G-7200, General Classification District,
in the Area: Single Family Residence.
9. Comprehensive Single Family Residential
Land Use Plan:
10. Notification: The applicant was notified in writing of the
hearing date. Notice was properly published
in the Record Chronicle and posted in three
places on or near the site as required by
City ordinances. Notice was also given to
surrounding property owners.
PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
To firmly establish lot boundary and to allow construction of one
additional single family residence on the subject site.
HISTORY/BACKGROUND :
The subject site was annexed to the City on July 6, 1967,
by Ordinance No. 2391. The site had been owned entirely by Mr. Nicoli's
family for many years. A three lot short plat was submitted in May
1973. However, final approval is uncertain, and the plat was never
formally filed with King County. Mr. Downing recently bought the
easterly 300 feet of the subject site and discovered conflicts in the
lot line configurations. He also wished to build two houses on the
easterly 300 feet and, therefore, requested short platting for the
entire property to clarify the uncertain existing situation.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
1. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicates the subject site as suit-
able for single family residential purposes.
2. The proposed lots exceed the minimum lot size (7200 square feet)
of the G-7200 zoning district in which the subject property is
located. Tract A = 7950 6q. ft.; Tract B = 15,600 sq. Tt., Tract
C = 13,950 sq. Tis, and Tract D 10,950 sq. ft. Ul
3. The property was the subject of a three-lot short plat application
in May 1973. However, the plat was never formally approved and
filed with King County. The Assistant City Attorney has indicated
that the subject replat would legally be acceptable in this instance
so as to clarify the situation and establish, through formal filing
with King County, the actual lot configurations for the property
which has been a problem for many years.
4. When the applicant had the property surveyed, it was discovered
that the existing fence and portions of the rear yards of the
existing houses to the north were approximately 14 feet into the
subject site. This condition has existed for many years. The
applicant's attorney has advised him to consider the fence line
as the north property line, thereby losing the northerly 14 feet
through adverse possession and creating lot widths of 93 feet
as opposed to 107 feet. However, the resulting lot sizes and
dimensions still would exceed the minimum ordinance requirements.
There are existing houses on Tracts A and B, a house under con-
| struction on Tract D; and if the short plat is approved, one
| additional house will be constructed on Tract C.

CLYDE W. DOWNING/BRUNO J. NICOLT SHORT PLAT APPLICATION 056-77, EXCEPTION TO SUBDIVISION APPLICATION E-057-77, AND WAIVER OF
OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS APPLICATION W-O058-77 —
6. A pipestem 25 feet in width and 117 feet in length is proposed on
the westerly portion of the subject site serving as access to
Tract B and the existing house. A pipestem 20 feet in width is
proposed extending from Meadow Avenue No. to Tract C€ serving as
as access to Tract C. The minimum pipestem width required by
ordinance is 20 feet. This will provide a minimum 5 foot side
yard for the existing house as required by the Zoning Ordinance.
7. The pipestem lots are proposed because of the limited traffic
created by one house (for each pipestem), the proposed low
density of the subdivision (4 lots), the close proximity of
the existing residences on the property adjacent to the south,
and the narrowness of the subject site. These factors create
physical and economic hardships for development of a full width
street per ordinance requirements.
c
o
Any further subdivision of the property within 5 years will
require a major plat application and the construction of a
standard dedicated public street, as per state law and the
Renton subdivision regulations.
9. Suitable utilities are available on the subject site. However,
no off-site improvements exist along either Park Avenue North
or Meadow Avenue North in the general vicinity of the subject
site. Final design grades have not been established on either
street.
10. Several significant deciduous trees exist on the subject site.
These should be preserved as much as possible.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend approval of the proposed four-lot short plat with the
pipestem lots as proposed subject to the following conditions:
1. Provision of a minimum 10 foot wide paved driveway to Tract C
at the time of construction of the proposed residence, as per
the subdivision regulations.
2. Preservation of as many large deciduous trees on the subject
site as possible. No significant deciduous trees shall be
removed without approval of the Planning Department.
The Planning Department further recommends the denial of the waiver
of the off-site improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) and instead
recommends an indefinite deferral of these improvements until an LID
or other City initiated action is formed for installation of such
improvements in the general area. This is subject to the signing
and filing of restrictive covenants running with the land in which
the applicants agree to install such improvements as stated above.

ADDENDUM TO PRELIMINARY STAFF REPORT
JULY 26, 1977
1. DOWNING/BRUNO J. NICOLI REQUEST FOR EXCEPTION, . E-057-77
FOR: CL’
Fl
ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS:
1. Mr. Downing had requested an exception to provide a 15 foot pipestem
as opposed to 20 feet to Tract C from Meadow Avenue North, because
he thought that the side yard of the existing house was approxi-
mately 3 feet from the pipestem as opposed to the 5 feet required
by ordinance.
2. Measurements indicate that the side yard “is approximately 4 to 4.5
feet with a 20 foot pipestem. Therefore, there is no need for a
5 foot reduction in the pipestem width.
Because the house has already been constructed, a hardship would
be created to move it the minimal 1/2 foot to 1 foot required to
maintain both a 20 foot pipestem and a 5 foot side yard. Allow-
ing the 20 foot pipestem, as proposed, would create an illegal
side yard for the existing house. The side yard should consist
of the entire 5 feet as required to allow for proper separation
between the driveway located in the pipestem and the house.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend approval of an exception to allow a pipestem approximately
19 feet in width, or to a width necessary to provide a minimum 5 foot
side yard for the existing house, whichever is necessary upon exact
Survey measurement. This exception is necessary due to the circum-
stances mentioned in number three above. Denial of the variance would
deprive the applicant of the reasonable use and development of his
land. The minimal distance involved in this instance would be more
important and necessary as side yard rather than part of the pipestem.
Granting of the exception will not be detrimental to adjacent proper-
ties because of the minor distance involved and the low traffic
volume anticipated on the pipestem access (one single family
residence).

Dear Mr. Downing:
The Planning Department has received your request for a Short
Plat of the easterly 300 feet of Tract 106 of C. D. Hillman's
Lake Washington Garden of Eden Division #2. Our records indi-
cate tnat a three-lot short plat (Application #W-731-73) was
approved on May 23, 1973. Two of these three lots fronted on
Park Avenue North and the third lot consisted of the remaining
easterly 395 feet of the tract. State law and City ordinance
require that any short platted lot cannot be further short
platted within five years. Therefore, any further subdivision
of the subject property will require processing as a major plat
pursuant to City Subdivision Regulations.
We are also concerned about the 300 foot lot dimension you
indicate. As stated before, our records indicate the easterly
395 feet as the third lot of the legally short platted tract.
At the present time one house can be built on this easterly
395 feet. Any further subdivision and development would require
Submittal of a Tentative Plat application as the first phase of
a major plat process. The application fees submitted with the
short olat can be applied to this process. Provision of suitable
access will also be a concern within any future platting of the
subject property. If you have any further questions, please do
not hesitate to contact this department.

Introduction The State Environmental Policy Act of 1971, Chapter 43.21C, RCW, requires
all state and local governmental agencies to consider environmental values both for their
own actions and when licensing private proposals. The Act also requires that an EIS be
prepared for all major actions significantly affecting the quality of the environment. .
The purpose of this checklist is to help the agencies involved determine whether or not a
proposal is such a major action.
Please answer the following questions as completely as you can with the information
presently available to you. Where explanations of your answers are required, or where
you believe an explanation would be helpful to government decision makers, include your explanation in the space provided, or use additional pages if necessary. You should
include references to any reports or studies of which you are aware and which are rele-
vant to the answers you provide. Complete answers to these questions now will help all
agencies involved with your proposal to undertake the required environmental review with-
out unnecessary delay.
The following questions apply to your total proposal, not just to the license for which
you are currently applying or the proposal for which approval is sought. Your answers should include the impacts which will be caused by your proposal when it is completed, even though completion may not occur until sometime in the future. This will allow all of the agencies which will be involved to complete their environmental review now, with-
out duplicating paperwork in the future.
NOTE: This is a standard form being used by all state and local agencies in the State of Washington for various types of proposals. Many of the questions may not apply to
your proposal. If a question does not apply, just answer it "no" and continue on to the
next question.

W-058-77
LOCATION: Located approximately 100 feet south of North 40th Street
between Park Avenue North and Meadow Avenue North.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Applicant requests approval of four-lot short plat, together
with approval of exception for two pipestem lots and waiver
of the off-site improvements requirements (curb, gutter, and
sidewalk) of the Renton Subdivision Ordinance.
SUMMARY OF Planning Department: Approval with conditions.
RECOMMENDATION:
Hearing Examiner: Approval with conditions.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT The Planning Department staff report was received by the
REPORT: Examiner on July 20, 1977.
PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Planning Department report, examining
available information on file with the application, and
field checking the property and surrounding area, the
Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as
follows:
The hearing was opened on July 26, 1977 at 1:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the
Renton Municipal Building.
Parties wishing to testify were sworn.
It was reported that the Hearing Examiner and the applicants had received and reviewed
the Planning Department report, and the report was entered into the record as Exhibit #1.
Michael Smith, Planning Department, reviewed Exhibit #1, and entered the following
additional exhibits into the record:
Exhibit #2: King County Assessor's Map
Exhibit #3: Short Plat Map
Mr. Smith submitted verbal revisions to the exhibits which included changing the term
"tract" on the short plat map to "lot," requiring approval by the King County Assessor's
office, and submitting entire short plat to King County for filing to preclude further
confusion regarding lot lines of the property. He indicated that no further
subdivision of the property would be allowed in the future unless application is made
through a major plat process and would be required to include provision of a 50-foot
street along the south property line for proper access. In addition, he stated that
the Utilities Division would require a 15-foot easement along the south property line
to provide for future utilities.
The Examiner asked for clarification regarding northern property line designations on
the assessor's map, and asked if the property had been surveyed originally. Mr. Smith
reported that the map shows the original miscalculated property line with a 14-foot
encroachment designated by a dashed line. He stated that the encroachment did not
create violations of setbacks on the proposed four parcels since all existing houses
maintain 10 to 20-foot sideyards.
The Examiner inquired about the exception request for a reduction in pipestem width to
Lot "C" and supplemental requirements in relationship to sideyards on Lot "D." He
noted that pipestem requirements indicate a minimum width of 20 feet and suggested that
a variance for width reduction be requested from the Board of Adjustment. Discussion
ensued with Mr. Smith regarding the authority responsible for approval of such a
variance in compliance with the code. The Examiner indicated that he would request
clarification from the City Attorney on the matter.
The Examiner asked the applicants if they concurred in Exhibit #1. Responding was:
f @ .
Short Plat No. 056-77 Page Two
E-057-77
W-058-77
Clyde W. Downing
31424 W. Lake Morton Drive
Kent, Washington 98031
Mr. Downing indicated his concurrence. Also responding was:
Mrs. J. Lissman
3930 Park Avenue North
Renton, WA 98055
Mrs. Lissman reported that she is the sister of the applicant, Mr. Nicoli, and indicated
his concurrence in Exhibit #1. She requested a reduction of the pipestem width on
her property, Lot "B", from 25 feet to 20 feet to accommodate future construction of a
carport. Mr. Smith indicated that since the pipestem was situated in the major portion
of the lot, the construction of the carport would not affect the width requirement.
The Examiner asked for further testimony in support or opposition to the request.
Responding was:
Paul Kullama
1417 N. 40th Street
Renton, WA 98055
Mr. Kullama briefly reviewed the history of development in the area, indicating that
miscalculation of lot lines was inadvertent owing to location of an existing line
fence at the time of development.
The Examiner asked the applicants if they would agree to participate in a future LID
in the area. Mr. Downing stated that he was agreeable, although as a builder he would
construct the homes for sale purposes and did not intend to reside in the area. Mrs.
Lissman indicated her willingness to participate in a future LID on an equitable basis.
The Examiner asked the applicants if they were aware of the recommendation for a 15-
foot easement along the southern portion of the property for future utility provisions.
Mrs. Lissman indicated that the portion on her lot had already been deeded and Mr.
Downing indicated his concurrence.
The Examiner asked for further comments. There were none. The Examiner asked Mr.
Smith for additions, corrections or modifications to Exhibit #1. Mr. Smith reported
that the department would accept approval of an exception to reduce the pipestem width
to 15 feet if the Examiner so recommended. The Examiner indicated that he would
contact the City Attorney in regards to the responsible authority to make a
determination in the matter.
The Examiner asked for further comments. Since there were none, the hearing on Item
#Short Plat No. 056-77, E-057-77 and W-058-77 was closed by the Examiner at 2:15 p.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS: Having reviewed the record in this matter,
the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
l. The request is for approval of a four-lot short plat, exception to allow pipestem
lots, and waiver of the required off-site improvements of curb, gutter and sidewalk.
2. The Planning Department report accurately sets forth the issues, applicable policies
and provisions, findings of fact, and departmental recommendations in this matter,
(is uncontested), and is hereby attached as Exhibit #1 and incorporated in this
report by reference as set forth in full herein.
3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental
Policy Act of 1971, as amended by R.C.W. 43.21.C., the proposal was determined to
be exempt from the threshold determination by Gordon Y. Ericksen, responsible
official.
4. Plans for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the
impact of this development and no adverse comment was expressed.
5. There was no opposition to the proposal expressed.

E-057-77
W-058-77
All existing utilities are available and in close proximity.
The proposal is compatible with the required setbacks, minimum lot area and minimum lot dimensions of Sections 4-706 and R-729 of the Code, with the exception of the
existing residence on Tract D which is 4 to 4.5 feet from the proposed pipestem.
The required side yard setback is 5 feet.
The south property line of Tracts. C and D has been surveyed and marked. The
distance: from this property line and the existing residence on Tract D is between
24 and 24.5 feet. A minimum distance of 25 feet is required by the Sections 4-706
(5 foot side yard setback) and 9-1108.F(d) (20 foot minimum width of pipestems) .
Curbs, gutters and sidewalks do not exist along Park Avenue N. or Meadow Avenue N.
nor have final grades been established. Both applicants agreed to participate in
an LID for improvement of these streets.
The City Attorney's office has advised the Planning Department that the proposal
is an acceptable means of clarifying the uncertain previous history of division
of the property.
Section 9-1108.F(d) specifies that pipestem lots may be approved as an exception
to the Subdivision Ordinance requirements. A minimum pipestem width of 20 feet
is stipulated in this section; however, Section 9~1109 (Exceptions) specifies
that exceptions may be made "...from the requirements of this ordinance, when...
undue hardship may be created as a result of strict compliance with the provisions
of this ordinance." Originally the applicant applied for only an exception to
allow pipestem lots. It was not until just prior to the public hearing that a
survey was made of the property which revealed the need for an exception to allow
slightly less than the minimum 20 foot pipestem width.
Approximately the north 14 feet of the site appear to belong to the properties to
the north through adverse possession. This causes no violation of required
setbacks, lot area or lot width.
The applicant representing Tracts A and B requested in the hearing that the 25-foot
wide pipestem serving Tract B be reduced to 20 feet, which conforms to Section
9-1108.F(d).
A 15-foot utility easement along the south property line of the site was requested
by the Utilities Division. Both applicants expressed agreement to granting this
easement and the owner of Tract B indicated that she had already granted this
easement.
The required certification and approval forms have not been included on the short
plat drawing, Exhibit No. 3.
Sections 9-1105.6.B. and 9-1109.1 contain the requirements for granting a Waiver
of Off-Site Improvements. Staff recommended indefinite deferral of the improvements
per Section 9-1108.21. No testimony was entered to indicate that the final grades
for Park Avenue N. or Meadow Avenue N. were being established or would be
established within two years to permit installation of the improvements.
The site will accommodate a maximum of four lots.
CONCLUSIONS:
dow The proposed Short Plat is a reasonable request which meets the goals and policies
of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Report and the intent of zoning and subdivision
requirements.
Sufficient flexibility exists in the Subdivision Ordinance, Section 9-1109
(Exceptions) to preclude the need for a variance from the 5-foot side yard
setback for Tract D. In order to accomplish this, an exception must be granted
to reduce the pipestem width of Tract C to 19 or 19.5 feet from the 20 foot minimum
requirement.
The circumstances involved in this proposal are much that "...undue hardship may be
created as a result of strict compliance with the provisions of this Ordinance."
(9-1109.1). A variance application and hearing by the Board of Adjustment would
cause delay of the short plat. Strict application of the Ordinance would potentially
prohibit separating Tracts C and D, which "...would deprive the applicant of the
reasonable...development of his land." (9-1109.1.A). No testimony was given that
? ;
Short Plat No. 056-77 Page Four
E-057-77
W-058-77
other pipestem lots exist in the near vicinity, however, other properties have
been subdivided into lots of smaller size than contained within the proposal. It
seems reasonable for the applicant to subdivide his property into smaller lots
as well (9-1109.1.B). Granting of the exception "...will not be detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to other property in the vicinity." (9-1109.1.C.).
No opposition to the proposal was expressed or any indications given of any such
injury occurring.
The proposed pipestem lots are a reasonable exception to the Subdivision Ordinance
(9-1108.23:(d)). Undue hardship would be produced upon the applicants if the
exception were not granted since division of the property could not otherwise occur
in view of the loss of 14 feet of the north portion of the site. (9-1109.1).
Otherwise, the applicants would be deprived of "...the reasonable...development of
(their) land" (9-1109.1.A.) and would be denied the use of their property similar
to that "...enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity..." (9-1109.1.B.). The
proposal will not be "...detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other
property in the vicinity" (9-1109.1.C.).
Upon comparison, it appears that the criteria for a Waiver (9-1105.6.B and 9-1109.1)
are more applicable to this proposal than the criteria for a Deferment (9-1108.21).
Since utilities exist on the property, only curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements
are at issue. Section 9-1108.21.B. stipulates that a deferral is for only a
maximum of two years, after which the improvements must be installed. However, in
the past deferments for an indefinite period have been granted pending formation
of an LID.
Section 9-1105.6.B. provides that a waiver must be justified,among other criteria,
by the "...absence of such improvements located within a reasonable distance and/
or the conditions outlined in Section 9-1109.1.A." Clearly no curbs, gutters
or sidewalks exist in the vicinity, and these improvements would very likely be
of low priority for future construction for at least two years and very probably
more. Construction of these improvements would create an "...undue hardship..."
upon the applicant if it had to occur in two years or without the economies
associated with an LID.
It is reasonable to assume that curbs, gutters and sidewalks will be constructed
in the future through an LID. Justification has not been presented to substantiate
not ever making such improvements in the future adjacent to the proposal. On
the contrary, the applicant has agreed to participate in an LID. Therefore, it
seems reasonable to approve the waiver subject to future participation in an LID.
The improvements should not be waived completely.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based upon the record, testimony, and foregoing findings and conclusions, it is
recommended:
his Approval of the short plat provided:
a. Term "tract" be changed to "parcel" or "lot;"
b. Placement of certification and approval forms on the plat drawing;
c. Dedication of 15-foot utility easement along the south property line;
d. Correction of north portion of the property to reflect reduction by 14 feet
per Exhibit #3;
e. No further subdivision of the property within five years without filing a
final plat; and
f. Preservation of as many existing trees as possible.
Approval of the exception to grant two pipestem lots provided:
a. Tract B pipestem width to be 20 feet wide; and
b. Tract C pipestem to be as wide as possible, but at least 19 feet, while
providing a 5-foot side yard setback for the existing house on Tract D as
determined by the Planning Department.
Approval of the waiver of off-site improvements until such time as an LID is
formed whereby the applicants will contribute their fair shares on an equitable
basis per applicable laws with other property owners in the area.
Subject to compliance with all other applicable requirements of the Subdivision
Ordinance and zoning regulations.

RE: CLYDE DOWNING/BRUNO NICOLI'S SHORT PLAT, EXCEPTION,
AND WAIVER APPLICATIONS
Dear Mr. Hatton:
Unfortunately we received your letter dated July 21, 1977
regarding the Downing/Nicoli Short Plat application on July 27,
which was the day after the public hearing. Although we cannot
enter your letter into the public hearing record, we feel that
your concerns were properly covered in this department's staff
report to the Hearing Examiner. We did indicate in our report
and at the hearing that if a full twenty foot wide pipestem is
allowed, the resulting setback from your house would be approxi-
mately four feet. Because of this situation, and the need for a
full five foot side yard for your house as required by ordinance,
the Planning Department recommended that an exception to allow
reduction in the pipestem width be granted.
If the Hearing Examiner concurs in the staff report and grants
such an exception a minimum five foot side yard as required by
ordinance will be created along the south side of your house,
resulting in a pipestem width of approximately nineteen feet.
We hope that this addresses your concerns regarding the possible
four foot side yard mentioned in your letter. The Hearing Examiner
will be sending you a copy of his decision within the next two
weeks.
Very truly yours,
Gordon Y. Ericksen

PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
1. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicates the subject site as suit-
able for single family residential purposes.
2. The proposed lots exceed the minimum lot size (7200 square feet)
of the G-7200 zoning district in which the subject property is
located. Tract A = 7950 sq. ft., Tract B = 18,600 sq. ft., Tract
C = 13,950 sq. ft., and Tract D 10,950 sq. ft.
3. The property was the subject of a three-lot short plat application
in May 1973. However, the plat was never formally approved and
filed with King County. The Assistant City Attorney has indicated
that the subject replat would legally be acceptable in this instance
so as to clarify the situation and establish, through formal filing
with King County, the actual lot configurations for the property
which has been a problem for many years.
4. When the applicant had the property surveyed, it was discovered
that the existing fence and portions of the rear yards of the
existing houses to the north were approximately 14 feet into the
subject site. This condition has existed for many years. The
applicant's attorney has advised him to consider the fence line
as the north property line, thereby losing the northerly 14 feet
through adverse possession and creating lot widths of 93 feet
as opposed to 107 feet. However, the resulting lot sizes and
dimensions still would exceed the minimum ordinance requirements.
5. There are existing houses on Tracts A and B, a house under con-
struction on Tract D; and if the. short plat is approved, one
additional house will be constructed on Tract C.

EXCEPTION 10 SUBDIVISION APPLICATION E-O5/-/7, AND WAIVER OF OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS APPLICATION W-058-77
6. A pipestem 25 feet in width and 117 feet in length is proposed on
the westerly portion of the subject site serving as access to
Tract B and the existing house. A pipestem’20 feet in width is
proposed extending from Meadow Avenue No. to Tract C serving as
as access to Tract C. The minimum pipestem width required by
ordinance is 20 feet. This will provide a minimum 5 foot side
yard for the existing house as required by the Zoning Ordinance.
7. The pipestem lots are proposed because of the limited traffic
created by one house (for each pipestem), the proposed low
density of the subdivision (4 lots), the close proximity of
the existing residences on the property adjacent to the south,
and the narrowness of the subject site. These factors create
physical and economic hardships for development of a full width
street per ordinance requirements.
8. Any further subdivision of the property within 5 years will
require a major plat application and the construction of a
standard dedicated public street, as per state law and the
Renton subdivision regulations.
9. Suitable utilities are available on the subject site. However,
no off-site improvements exist along either Park Avenue North
or Meadow Avenue North in the general vicinity of the subject
site. Final design grades have not been established on either
Street.
10. Several significant deciduous trees exist on the subject site.
These should be preserved as much as possible.
P, PLANNING DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend approval of the proposed four-lot short plat with the
pipestem lots as proposed subject to the following conditions:
1. Provision of a minimum 10 foot wide paved driveway to Tract C
at the time of construction of the proposed residence, as per
the subdivision regulations.
2. Preservation of as many large deciduous trees on the subject
site as possible. No significant deciduous trees shall be
removed without approval of the Planning Department.
The Planning Department further recommends the denial of the waiver
of the off-site improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) and instead
recommends an indefinite deferral of these improvements until an LID
or other City initiated action is formed for installation of such
improvements in the general area. This is subject to the signing
and filing of restrictive covenants running with the land in which
the applicants agree to install such improvements as stated above.

I am the owner of the East 300' of lot 106, CD Hillmans Lake “ashington
Garden of Eden #1, I purchased this property in the early part of
197% I applied for a short plat to obtain 2 duilding sites on this
property which supposedly measured 104' X 3090', I made application to the City of Renton for a short plat Dut this was resected
because the whole of lot 106 had already deen Short platted in May
of 1973, into a 3 lot short plat,
Subsequently I obtained a building permit for one jaouse on. the
whole portion that I had purchased, Tnis home was located on the
portion of lot 105 facing Meadow Avenue,
However, after talking with the planning staff I decided to refile
anew 4 lot short plat application, which I did in June of 1977,
After discussing this application with the planning staff, I had
Townsend Chastain Associates Survey the property, The survey
reveals that the property owners on lot 107 to the North of my
property have fences that are encroaching 14' onto my property,
After discussion with my attorney and the title comnany it seems ‘
they have adverse possession and I have lost 14' of property. Consequently where I was to place a pipe stem to the rear of my
property over the Southerly 20' and still have a 15' side yard to the
house that I have built, it seems I now would nave a 3' sideyard,
Therefore I am asking the City of Renton Planning Department to
grant me an exception to the short plat rules and allow me to have a
15' pipe stem, This will be the last house that will de Duilt on lot 106 and your approval of this request will make a mucn more
desirable situation for all converned,

Dear Mr. Downing:
The Planning Department has received your request for a Short
Plat of the easterly 300 feet of Tract 106 of C. D. Hillman's
Lake Washington Garden of Eden Division #2. Our records indi-
cate tnat a three-lot short plat (Application #W-731-73) was
approved on May 23, 1973. Two of these three lots fronted on
Park Avenue North and the third lot consisted of the remaining
easterly 395 feet of the tract. State law and City ordinance
require that any short platted lot cannot be further short
platted within five years. Therefore, any further subdivision
of the subject property will require processing as a major plat
pursuant to City Subdivision Regulations.
We are also concerned about the 300 foot lot dimension you
indicate. As stated before, our records indicate the easterly
395 feet as the third lot of the legally short platted tract.
At the present time one house can be built on this easterly
395 feet. Any further subdivision and development would require
Submittal of a Tentative Plat application as the first phase of
a major plat process. The application fees submitted with the
short olat can be applied to this process. Provision of suitable
access will also be a concern within any future platting of the
subject property. If you have any further questions, please do
not hesitate to contact this department.
Very truly yours,
Gordon Y. Ericksen

COMMENTS:
Introduction The State Environmental Policy Act of 1971, Chapter 43.21C, RCW, requires all state and local governmental agencies to consider environmental values both for their own actions and when licensing private proposals. The Act also requires that an EIS be prepared for all major actions significantly affecting the quality of the environment. . The purpose of this checklist is to help the agencies involved determine whether or not a
proposal is such a major action.
Please answer the following questions as completely as you can with the information
presently available to you. Where explanations of your answers are required, or where
you believe an explanation would be helpful to government decision makers, include your
explanation in the space provided, or use additional pages if necessary. You should
include references to any reports or studies of which you are aware and which are rele- vant to the answers you provide. Complete answers to these questions now will help all
agencies involved with your proposal to undertake the required environmental review with-
out unnecessary delay.
The following questions apply to your total proposal, not just to the license for which
you are currently applying or the proposal for which approval is sought. Your answers
should include the impacts which will be caused by your proposal when it is completed,
even though completion may not occur until sometime in the future. This will allow all
of the agencies which will be involved to complete their environmental review now, with-
out duplicating paperwork in the future.
NOTE: This is a standard form being used by all state and local agencies in the State
of Washington for various types of proposals. Many of the questions may not apply to your proposal. If a question does not apply, just answer it "no" and continue on to the
next question.
