Air Locker Inc. are the registered owner of the adjoining allotment at 720 Rainier Avenue S Renton, WA and submit our formal objection to
this proposed Administrative Variance for a Fence on the following basis:
Will have a detrimental impact on the Amenity and Visual appeal along the common property boundary line;
In breach of Renton Municipal Code, Title IV Development Regulations, Chapter 4 City Wide Property Development Standards, 4-4-040
Fences, Hedges, and Retaining Walls Section E Standards for Commercial and Industrial Zones which states:

Creates vast blank walls to the extent of the property boundary;
Air Locker Inc. have a Planning application with the City of Renton for the Development of a four wheel drive retail store. This development
will significantly improve the character of the Rainer Avenue S precinct and generate employment opportunities within the municipality.
This Administrative Variance for a Fence will have an unfavorable impact on our property value, visual amenity and character of the area.
Air Locker Inc request the City of Renton to impose the conditions of the Renton Municipal Code and limit the height to 48” max (including
retaining wall measured from the lowest level of wall) as defined as the Front Yard and Secondary Yard within 15’ of the property boundary.
Further a landscaping setback shall be enforced to ensure the environmental and visual amenity of the area.
Fencing that is not within the 15’ property setback for the Front and Secondary Yard (& landscaping setback) all not exceed eight (8) feet
(including retaining wall measured from the lowest level of wall) and have a greater than 50% visual transparency.
Should you require any further information with respect to the above, please don’t hesitate in contacting the undersigned.
