APPLICANT: Jordan Salisbury, Blue Fern Development, LLC
PROJECT NAME: Earlington Townhomes
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The original SEPA threshold determination for Earlington
Townhomes was issued on May 8, 2017. The original application included a proposal to construct 62
attached single-family townhomes on a 4.16-acre site under Hearing Examiner Site Plan Review,
Environmental (SEPA) Review, and three modification requests. On June 13, 2017, the applicant
withdrew their original application and reapplied for Preliminary Planned Urban Development,
Preliminary Plat, and Environmental (SEPA) Review to obtain some additional flexibility offered in
Renton’s Municipal Code under a revised layout and design proposal (Exhibits 2-4). The intended
purpose of this SEPA Addendum is to disclose any proposed changes to the project. Thus, the revised
project would include some additional right-of-way dedication (6,982 square feet) along the primary
access road from S 132nd St in order to more fully comply with complete street standards. The revised
site plan includes the construction of 60 attached single-family townhomes with additional clustering
of buildings within the site to create more open space. The project SEPA appeal period ended on May
26, 2017.
Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971 as amended),
on May 8, 2017, the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance -
Mitigated (DNS-M) for the Earlington Townhomes. The DNS-M included three (3) mitigation measures
related to seasonal earthwork periods, geotechnical recommendations, and driveway aprons. A 14-day
appeal period commenced on May 12, 2017 and ended on May 26, 2017. No appeals of the threshold
determination were filed.

SUBJECT: Earlington/Minter Townhomes
Environmental Impact Comments:
1. The fire impact fees are applicable at the rate of $795.10 per townhome unit.
This fee is paid at building permit issuance.
Code Related Comments:
1. The fire flow requirement for the proposed townhomes is 3,750 gpm if built with
non-rated construction and no fire sprinkler systems. The fire flow would drop to
1,750 with one hour rated construction and approved fire sprinkler systems
(NFPA 13D type systems are acceptable). Four fire hydrants are required. One
within 150-feet and three within 300-feet of each of the proposed buildings.
There are some existing hydrants within 300-feet of the proposed homes. It
appears water main extensions and additional hydrants will be required.
Insufficient fire flow exists at this location at present time.
2. 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. Fire
access roadways shall be constructed to support a 30-ton vehicle with 75-psi
point loading. Access is required within 150-feet of all points on all buildings.
Dead end streets that exceed 150-feet in length require an approved
turnaround. Cul-de-sac turnarounds with 90-feet diameters are required for
streets over 300-feet long. Proposed landscape islands are not allowed in the
cul-de-sac.

CODE REQUIREMENTS
WATER
1. The proposed water main improvements as shown on the composite utility civil plan submitted
with the Land Use Application provides the required 8-inch water main extension into the
development, connecting to the existing 8-inch water main located in S 132nd Street and the
existing 8-inch water main located in Renton Ave S. Renton Fire Authority has determined that
the preliminary fire flow demand for the proposed development is 1,750 gpm, with the use of
one-hour rated construction and approved fire sprinklers, which is greater than the available
maximum fire flow capacity.
2. The following water main improvements are required to provide water service for domestic use
and fire protection for the development per City Code and Development standards (RMC 4-6-
010B) including, but not limited to:
a. Extension of approximately 380 feet of 8-inch water main in Renton Ave S from S 130th
Street to a point which allow connection into the new water main for the development.
A 15-foot water easement will be required for any water main not located within the
public right-of-way.
b. Installation of 8-inch water mains in the new primary access roadway and alley sections
within the subdivision connecting to the new 8-inch water main in Renton Ave S and to
the existing 8-inch water main in S 132nd Street. Maximum capacity from the new 8-inch
main extension is 2,500 gpm.
c. Installation of fire hydrants 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 and site plans.
d. Installation of a residential fire sprinkler system for each townhome unit with a double
check valve assembly (DDCVA) for backflow prevention on the water supply line to the
fire sprinkler piping.
e. Installation of a domestic water meter to each townhome unit with a double check valve
assembly (DCVA) behind the meter for townhomes with 3 or more stories.
f. A pressure-reducing-valve (PRV) is required behind each water meter because the water
pressure is over 80 psi.

the project. The SAD fee rate when it was established in 2015 was $11,254.92 plus interest per
lot with frontage along S 132nd Street. As of 4/25/2017, the SAD fee rate per lot is $11,828.95
plus additional interest per day of $0.80 after the date noted above. The rate that will be
applicable on the issuance day of the utility construction permit will be applicable on this project.
As currently designed, there are 13 lots applicable to the SAD fee, however the maximum
assessment will be for 12 lots.
SURFACE WATER
1. A geotechnical report, dated January 18, 2017, completed by Associated Earth Sciences,
Incorporated (AESI) for the site has been provided. The submitted report describes the site is a
ADVISORY NOTES TO APPLICANT
Earlington Townhomes – LUA17-000169
Page 4 of 8
Low, Medium, and High Erosion Hazard areas. Erosion control measures will need to be in place
prior to starting grading activities on the site. The report discusses the soil and groundwater
characteristics of the site including infiltration potential and provide recommendations for project
design and construction. The report discounts the use of infiltration due to the shallow site soils
that are either dense and impermeable or saturated. Geotechnical recommendations presented
need to be address within the project plans.
2. A Preliminary Drainage Plan and Technical Information Report (TIR), dated March 27, 2017, was
submitted by ESM Consulting Enginerrs, LLC with the Land Use Application. Based on the City of
Renton’s flow control map, the site falls within the Flow Control Duration Standard area matching
Forested Site Conditions and is within the West Lake Washington Drainage Basin. The
development is subject to Full Drainage Review in accordance with the 2017 Renton Surface
Water Design Manual (RSWDM). All nine core requirements and the six special requirements must
be discussed in the Technical Information Report. The following stormwater improvements are
required and shall be discussed within the TIR:
a. Applicant shall include discussion of Special Requirement (SR) #6 in the final drainage
report. SR #6 relates to the aquifer protection area, which is not applicable to this site,
but it should be noted as such in the report.
b. The TIR references the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual and the City of
Renton Amendments to the SWDM. The City has adopted the 2017 Renton Surface
Water Design Manual rather than providing amendments to the 2016 King County
SWDM. The final TIR submitted with the Civil Construction Permit Application shall
reference the 2017 Renton Surface Water Design Manual (RSWDM).
c. An infiltration testing report shall be submitted with the civil construction permit
application following the test methods outlined in the manual. See Section 5.2 and
Reference Section 6-A for approved testing methods.
3. The development is required to provide flow control and basic water quality treatment prior to
discharge. A detention vault is proposed to meet the flow control facility requirement to satisfy
Core Requirement #3. The detention pond has been sized to the City’s Flow Control Duration
Standard using WWHM. The project matches the pre-developed discharge rates from 50% of the
2-year peak flow up to the full 50-year peak flow and peak discharge rates for the 2 and 10-year
return periods as required in the City’s Flow Control Duration Standard (Forested Site Conditions)
area. Project water quality treatment will consist of conveyance to a water quality filter vault
following the proposed detention vault prior to connection to the existing 12-inch concrete
stormwater main located S 132nd Street.
a. The conveyance and water quality systems shall be designed in accordance with the
RSWDM that is current at the time of civil construction permit application.
b. A maintenance access road is required to the stormwater facilities in the proposed storm
tract and shall be in accordance with the design requirements outlined in the RSWDM.
4. Any proposed detention and/or water quality vault shall be designed in accordance with the
RSWDM that is current at the time of civil construction permit application. Separate structural
plans will be required to be submitted for review and approval under a separate building permit
for the detention and/or water quality vault. Special inspection from the building department is
required.
5. Appropriate on-site BMPs will be required to help mitigate the new runoff created by this
development. A preliminary drainage plan, including the application of on-site BMPs, has been
included with the land use application. The final drainage plan and drainage report must be
submitted with the civil construction permit application.
ADVISORY NOTES TO APPLICANT
Earlington Townhomes – LUA17-000169
Page 5 of 8
a. The final drainage plan shall evaluate the feasibility of utilizing on-site BMPs to mitigate
all target impervious areas to the maximum extent feasible as outlined in the RSWDM.
This shall include infiltration testing to determine the feasibility of utilizing permeable
pavements and bioretention areas.
6. The site contains regulated slopes across the site with an elevation change of approximately 72-
feet from the northwest corner (approximate elevation 306 feet) to the low point of the property
near the southeast corner (approximate elevation 234 feet).
7. Detailed plans for any proposed cut and fill operations shall be submitted. These plans shall
include the angle of slope, contours, compaction and retaining walls.
8. Maximum exposed retaining wall height is 6-ft and shall be setback a minimum of 3-ft from the
right-of-way. Based on the site topography, terraced retaining walls may be needed for the
development. Retaining walls over 4-feet in height from footing require a separate building
permit.
a. The proposed development includes an 8-ft wall along Renton Ave S. The applicant will
be required to reduce the height of the proposed wall to the maximum 6 -ft allowed by
code. The civil construction plans shall fully detail the proposed retaining wall abutting
the public ROW. A handrail and/or fence may be required at the top of the wall.
9. All work proposed outside of the applicant’s property will require a permanent drainage
easement to be provided to the City and a temporary construction easement prior to any permits
being issued.
10. A Construction Stormwater General Permit from Department of Ecology will be required since
grading and clearing of the site exceeds one acre. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan

TRANSPORTATION
1. The proposed development fronts Renton Ave S along the east property lines. To meet the City’s
complete street standards for minor arterial streets, minimum ROW is 91 feet (4 lanes) or 103
feet (5 lanes). The traffic analysis provided by the developer has been reviewed by the City and
the City concurs that the existing pavement width is sufficient and additional lanes are not
required as a result of the development.
a. The City’s transportation group has determined and will support an alternate standard
to match the established standard street section for Renton Ave S. The City established
standard street section for Renton Ave S, which shall be installed by the developer as
part of the proposed development, will allow the existing curb line to be maintained
with a new 8-ft planter strip and 8-ft sidewalk to be installed behind the curb. The final
ROW dedication will be dependent upon the final survey and will vary along Renton Ave
S. The required ROW behind the existing curb is 18-ft (8-ft planter strip, 8-ft sidewalk, 2-
ft behind the curb).
b. The bike lanes included in the street section for Renton Ave shown on the site plans (PP-
05) are not needed. Currently, the Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan specify a
separate combined bike/pedestrian path parallel to Renton Ave to provide bike access
for the Renton Ave corridor.
c. Applicant will need to submit an application to the City requesting a modification of the
street frontage improvements as outline in City code 4-9-250C5d.

2. The proposed development fronts S 132nd Street along the south property lines. To meet the City’s
complete street standards for collector arterial streets, minimum ROW is 83 feet (2 lanes) or 94
feet (3 lanes). The traffic analysis provided by the developer has been reviewed by the City and
the City concurs that the existing pavement width is sufficient and additional lanes are not
required as a result of the development. The required street section for S 132nd Street as proposed
by the applicant meets the minimum street standards as outlined in RMC 4-6-060F includes 83-ft
of ROW, 46-ft paved roadway width (two 10-ft travel lanes, 5-ft bike lanes and 8-ft parking lanes
on both sides), a new 0.5-foot curb and gutter, an 8-foot planting strip, an 8-foot sidewalk, street
trees and storm drainage improvements on both sides.
a. Half-street improvements, which shall be installed by the developer, along S 132nd Street
shall include, 23-ft paved roadway width from centerline (10-ft travel lane, 5-ft bike lane
and 8-ft parking lane), a new 0.5-foot curb and gutter, an 8-foot planting strip, an 8-
foot sidewalk, street trees and storm drainage improvements.
3. The applicant has submitted an application to the City requesting a modification of the street
frontage improvements. The development proposes installation of a new public residential access
road (Road A) with 29 feet of right-of-way, which includes 28 feet of paved roadway width, 0.5-ft
curb and gutter on both sides, private 4.5-ft planter strips on the east side of the street and private
5-ft sidewalks on both sides of the street. The proposed street section does not meet the
minimum street standards in accordance with RMC 4-6-060F and is not supported by the City.
a. The new public street for the development shall meet the minimum street standards as
outlined in RMC 4-6-060F. Minimum standards for a residential access road requires a
53-ft right-of-way, 26-ft pavement width, 0.5-ft curb and gutter, 8-ft planter strips and
5-ft sidewalks on both sides of the street.
4. Current City of Renton standards require a turnaround for dead-end streets greater than 150 feet.
Dead-end streets exceeding 300-feet must utilize a cul-de-sac meeting the requirements for
emergency services access, including a 45-foot paved radius and 55-ft ROW radius. Reference
RMC 4-6-060H. The cul-de-sac shall have a design approved by the Administrator and Fire and
Emergency Services.
5. Five alleys (Tracts A, B, C, D, and E), each with a pavement width of 20-ft, are proposed to provide
access to each unit.
a. Driveway aprons shall be installed at the entrance to each alley tract in accordance with
the City of Renton Standard Plans 104.2 and 104.3.
b. No parking is allowed within the 20-ft paved roadway of the alleys.
6. Corner lots on Minor Arterial and Collector Arterial Streets require a minimum radius of 35 feet
for dedication of right of way.
7. ADA access ramps shall be installed at all street crossings. Ramps shall be shown at each
intersection. Ramps shall be oriented to provide direct pedestrian crossings.
a. ADA ramps shall be installed facing east and west at the crossing of Road A along the
frontage of S 132nd Street.
b. ADA ramps shall be installed at the intersection of South 132nd Street and Renton
Avenue South with a companion ramp for the existing sidewalk on the south side of
intersection. Because of the steep grade on South 132nd Street and possibly steep grade
of the new sidewalk to be installed as part of the development, a pass through may be
needed in the existing paved island for access between the new curb ramp to be
installed at the northeast corner of the intersection and the new curb ramp on the south
side of South 132nd Street.

8. Street lighting and street trees are required to meet current city standards. Lighting plans were
not submitted with the land use application and shall be submitted with the civil construction
permit application.
9. A traffic analysis dated December 14, 2016, was provided by Northwest Traffic Experts (TraffEx).
The site generated traffic volumes were calculated using data from the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition, (2009). Based on the calculations provided
and providing credit for the existing trips utilized for the current site use, the proposed
development would generate approximately 292 net new average weekday daily trips. During the
weekday AM peak hour, the project would generate approximately 26 net new trips (5 inbound
and 21 outbound). During the weekday PM peak hour, the project would generate approximately
30 net new trips (20 inbound and 10 outbound). As detailed in the report the proposed project is
not expected to lower the levels of service of the surrounding intersections included in the traffic
study. Increased traffic created by the development will be mitigated by payment of
transportation impact fees.
a. The traffic analysis analyzed the new site access intersection (Road A and S 132nd Street)
and the intersection of Renton Ave S and S 132nd Street to the east of the proposed
development.
b. Renton Ave S and S 132nd Street both have posted speed limits of 35 miles per hour (MPH).
The required stopping sight distance and intersection sight distance for the posted speed
limit is 250-ft and 390-ft, respectively, per the current AASHTO “Geometric Design of
Highways and Streets” standards. As designed, the stopping sight distance and
intersection sight distance exceeds 500-ft both to the east and west directions from the
site access location.
c. The proposed development provides pedestrian connectivity through the development
via a series of concrete walkways through the open space tract at the north side of the
property and connecting to the proposed sidewalk along Renton Ave S.
i. At least one pedestrian connection to Renton Avenue South shall be ADA
accessible.
ii. An additional pedestrian connection shall be provided in the vicinity of Alley TR-
D or through Tract I.
10. Refer to City code 4-4-080 regarding driveway regulations.
a. A minimum separation of 5 feet is required between driveway and the property line.
b. Maximum driveway slopes shall not exceed 15%. Driveways exceeding 8% shall provide
slotted drains.
c. The maximum width of single loaded garage driveway shall not exceed nine feet (9') and
double-loaded garage driveway shall not exceed sixteen feet (16').
11. Paving and trench restoration shall comply with the City’s Trench Restoration and Overlay
Requirements.
12. Payment of the transportation impact fee is applicable on the construction of the development
at the time of application for the building permit. The current rate of transportation impact fee
is $175,001.82 for 62 condominiums ($2,822.61 x 62 units). The transportation impact fee that is
current at the time of building permit application will be levied.
13. Traffic concurrency is provided under separate cover.

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 will need security lighting, and any construction trailer or
storage area 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 1/2” throw when bolted. 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. These signs will aid police in making contacts with
unwanted individuals on the property if they are observed vandalizing or stealing building materials.
COMPLETED COMPLEX
Each residential unit should have solid core doors, preferably metal or solid wood, with peepholes. The doors should have heavy duty
deadbolt locks with a minimum 1 ½” throw and installed with 3” wood screws. Any external storage areas should also have solid wood or
metal doors, with deadbolts and latch guards installed.
Sliding windows and glass patio doors should have secondary locks installed to restrict movement. Simply placing a sturdy, fitted dowel into
the tracks may be adequate.
Alarm systems are recommended for each residential unit. Any stairways at the complex should be constructed of lattice, wood or metal
railing so that visibility is possible through them. There should not be solid walls in any stairway that would limit visibility up and down the
stairs, or provide a place for a criminal to hide. Balcony construction should also be of lattice or railing – no solid walls, for the same reason.
Security lighting should be installed along sidewalks, in stairways, foyers, alleys, and pathways. Each residential unit should have individual
unit numbers clearly posted with numbers at least 6” in height and of a color contrasting with the building. Unit numbers should also be
illuminated so that they are easily located. 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 or too high. Too much landscaping will make residents
feel isolated and will provide criminals with concealment to commit crimes such as burglary and vandalism.
I have concerns regarding the two park areas on each end of the “triangle”. I cannot discern if there is going to be a fence lining this
property’s boundaries, but both these sites will be tempting loitering locations for unwanted subjects (especially if there are benches installed
). I recommend fencing be installed along the Renton Ave S / S 132nd St side of the property – even if only four feet in height, to delineate
between public and private space.
Although this area isn’t known for a large amount of pedestrian traffic, there is an alternative school located west of this project and students
frequently travel on foot from Renton Ave S onto 132nd to get to school. If there isn’t a barrier along this property’s boundary lines, students
will utilize Earlington Townhomes as a short cut over onto 132nd. And – they will most likely use the landscaped green space areas as
resting points in their travels to and from school.

LOCATION:8074 S 132nd St, Renton, WA 98178
DESCRIPTION:The applicant is requesting a Preliminary Planned Urban Development, Preliminary Plat
and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of 60 attached single-family townhomes. The 4.16-acre site is
located at 8074 S 132nd St (APN’s 214480-0487, -0488, -0500, -0285, and -0295) in the R-14 zoning district. The
residential density of the project with bonus density is 18 du/ac. Access to the townhomes would be from S 132nd St.
The site slopes down to the south with vertical relief of roughly 70 ft. The garages would be accessed via private alleys
and all of the townhomes would be alley-loaded. The soils consist of sand with silt and gravel fill and native soils
indicative of Vashon Recessional Outwash (Qvr) and Lodgement Till (Qvt). Preliminary estimates of 15,000 cy of cut and
3,600 cy of fill. The site contains greenhouses, a shop, a utility building and a single family detached home. All of the
existing structures would be demolished as part of the proposed project. No wetlands or streams are located on the
