I. The fire flow requirement for a single family home is 1,000 gpm minimum for dwellings up to
3,600 square feet (including garage and basements). If the dwelling exceeds 3,500 square
feet, a minimum of 1,500 gpm fire flow would be required. A minimum of one fire hydrant is
required within 300 -feet of the proposed buildings and two hydrants if the fire flow goes up to
1,500 gpm. It appears there is adequate fire flow and hydrants in this area. Existing hydrant
needs to be retrofitted with a 5 -inch store quick connect fitting.
2. The fire impact fees are applicable at the rate of $495.10 per single family unit. This fee is
paid at time of building permit issuance. Credit will be granted for removal of the one existing
home.
3. Existing access road appears adequate.

TO: Pre -Application File No. 15-000530
FROM: Angelea Wickstrom, Assistant Planner
SUB]EG7: 3302 Kennydale Short Plat (3302 Burnett Ave N)
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 rased 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 Hail
or online at www.rentonwa.gov
Project Proposal: The subject property (Tax Parcel nos. 3342102010 and 3342102005) is located
at 3302 Burnett Ave N. The project site totals 10,710 square feet in area; and is zoned
Residential -8 (R-8) du/ac. The proposal is to subdivide the existing parcel into 2 legal lots for the
future Construction of two new single family residences. The site currently contains a single
family residence which is proposed to be demolished. Access to site appears to be proposed via
either Burnett Ave N or N 33`d PL. No critical areas appear to be on site. The applicant is also
requesting vacation for the alley, which is just south of the property. The applicant has proposed
4 different options for subdivision, two options without alley vacation and two options with
alley vacation:
Option 1 is a horizontal, east to west division without alley vacation. With this option, lot 1
(northern lot) would be 5,460 square feet and would have a lot depth of 105 feet and a width of
52 feet. Lot 2 (southern lot) would be 5,250 square feet and would have a lot depth of 105 feet
and a width of 50 feet.
D tion 1 with vacated aIle is a horizontal, east to west division with alley vacation. With this
option, lot 1 (northern lot) would be 6,090 square feet and would have a lot depth of 105 feet
and a width of 58 feet. Lot 2 (southern lot) would be 5,250 square feet and would have a lot
depth of 105 feet and a width of 50 feet.

Option 2 is a vertical, north to south division without alley vacation. With this option, lot 1
(western lot) would be 5,610 square feet and would have a lot depth of 102 feet and a width of
55 feet. Lot 2 (eastern lot) would be 5,100 square feet and would have a lot depth of 102 feet
and a width of 50 feet.
❑ tion 2 with vacated aIle is a vertical, north to south division with alley vacation. With this
option, lot 1 (western lot) would be 5,940 square feet and would have a lot depth of 108 feet
and a width of 55 feet. Lot 2 (eastern lot) would be 5,400 square feet and would have a lot
depth of 108 feet and a width of 50 feet.
Current Use: The site currently contains an existing single family residence which is proposed to
be removed.
Zoning/Density Requirements: The subject property is zoned Residential - 8 (R-8). The density
range allowed in the R-8 zone is a minimum of 4.0 to a maximum of 8.0 dwelling units per acre
(du/ac). 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. Based on grass
density the proposal for 2 lots would result in a gross density of 8.13 dwelling units per acre (2
lots / 0.246 acres = 8.13 du/ac). Tensity calculations resulting in a fraction that is less than 0.50
shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number•, therefore, a gross density of 8.13 dwelling

meet density requirements using "net" square footage. A density worksheet would be
required at the time of formal land use application.
Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, "Development
Standards for Single Family Zoning Designations" effective at the time of complete application
(noted as "R-8 standards" herein).
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth — The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 zone, is 5,000
square feet fpr parcels being subdivided. For short plats of parcels smaller than one acre, one lot
may be allowed to be 4,500 square feet in area provided all other lots meet the 5,000 square
foot minimum lot area. Minimum lot width is 50 feet for interior lots and 60 feet for corner lots;
minimum lot depth is 80 feet. No information was included with the pre -application materials
regarding the proposed net area for lots 1 and 2; therefore staff was unable to verify
compliance with lot size requirements. The proposals do not appear to comply with the lot
width requirement for corner lots, which requires a minimum width of 60 feet. Where a lot
abuts an alley, the rear yard shall always be the yard abutting the alley, therefore, the front
yards will need to be oriented to face N 33rd A[, with a minimum corner lot width of 60 feet to
comply with corner lot width requirements. The formal short plot plan submittal must
demonstrate that each lot complies with the minimum lot area, width, and depth of the zone.
Building Standards — The R-8 standards allow a maximum building coverage of 50% of the lot
area. The maximum impervious coverage in the R-8 zone is 65%. Building height is restricted to
30 feet. Detached accessory structures must remain below a height of 15 feet. The gross floor
area must be less than that of the primary structure. Accessory structures are also included in
building lot coverage calculations. The proposal's compliance with the building standards
would be verified at the time of building permit review.

Setbacks — Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the
property line. The required setbacks for the R-8 zone are:
Front yard: 20 feet for the primary structure.
Rear yard: 20 feet.
Side yards: 5 feet.
Side yards along streets: 15 feet
Setbacks for the new residential structures would be verified at the time of building permit
review.
Lot Configuration —One of the following is required:
1. Lot width variation of 10 feet (10') minimum of one per four (4) abutting street -fronting
lots, or
2. Minimum of four (4) lot sizes (minimum of 400 gross square feet size difference), or
3. A front yard setback variation of at least five feet (5') minimum for at least every four (4)
abutting street fronting Pots.
The proposal will need to comply with option number 1 in order to comply with lot width
requirements for corner lots.
Building Design Standards — All single family residences would be subject to the Residential
Design Standards outlined in RMC 4-2-115. The proposal's compliance with the residential
design standards would he verified at the time of building permit review.
Access/Parking: Access to site appears to be proposed via either Burnett Ave N or N 33rd PL
Alley access is the preferred street pattern for ail new residential development except in the
Residential Low Density land use designation (RC, R-1, and R-4 zones). All new residential
development in an area that Has existing alleys shall utilize alley access. Each lot is required to
accommodate off street parking for a minimum of two vehicles.
Driveways: The maximum driveway slopes cannot exceed 15%, provided that driveways
exceeding 8% are to provide slotted drains at the lower end of the driveway. If the grade
exceeds 15%, a variance is required.
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, Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) for further
general and specific landscape requirements. A conceptual landscape plan shall be submitted
at the time of Short Plat 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 iandscape plan or grading plan. A fence and/or
H:\CE0\P1anning\Current Planning\PREAPPS\15-000530
3302 Kennydale Short Plat

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 wail unless the total combined height of the
retaining wall and the fence does not exceed the ailowed height of a standalone fence. For more
information about fences and retaining walls see RMC 4-4-040.
Significant Tree Retention: A Tree Retention/ Land Clearing (Tree Inventory) Plan along with a
tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application. The tree
retention plan must show preservation of at least 30 percent {30 `1e} of significant trees, and
indicate how proposed building footprints would be sited to accommodate preservation of
significant trees that would be retained. The Administrator may authorize the planting of
replacement trees on the site if it can be demonstrated to the Administrator's satisfaction that
an insufficient number of trees can be retained.
In addition to retaining 30 percent of existing significant trees, each new lot would be required
to provide a minimum tree density of 2 trees per 5,000 square feet of lot area onsite. Protected
trees that do not contribute to a lot's required minimum tree density shall be held in perpetuity
within a tree protection tract.
Significant trees shall be retained in the following priority order:
Priority One: Landmark trees; significant trees that form a continuous canopy; significant trees
on slopes greater than twenty percent (20%); Significant trees adjacent to critical areas and their
associated buffers; and Significant trees over sixty feet (60') in height or greater than eighteen
inches ( 181 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 he 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.
Critical Areas: Based on the City's Critical Areas Maps, there appears to be no critical areas
onsite. It is the applicant's responsibility to ascertain whether any additional critical areas or
environmental concerns are present on the site daring site development or building
construction.
Environmental Review: Except when located in sensitive areas (such as wetlands) or lands
covered by water, short plats of nine or fewer lots are categorically exempt from Environmental
(SEPA) Review.
Permit Requirements: The proposal would require approval of an administrative short plat'. The
