necessary to perform inspections of the stormwater facilities and BMPs and conduct
maintenance activities specified in this Declaration of Covenant and in accordance with the
Renton Municipal Code. City of Renton shall provide at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to
the Owners that entry on the Property is planned for the inspection of drainage facilities. After
the thirty (30) days, the Owners shall allow the City of Renton to enter for the sole purpose of
inspecting drainage facilities. In lieu of inspection by the City, the Owners may elect to engage
a licensed civil engineer registered in the state of Washington who has expertise in drainage to
inspect the drainage facilities and provide a written report describing their condition. If the
engineer option is chosen, the Owners shall provide written notice to the City of Renton within
fifteen (15) days of receiving the City’s notice of inspection. Within thirty (30) days of giving this
