SUBJECT: Williams ADU/Garage
13411 SE 151st St
LUA25-000025
I have reviewed the application for the Williams ADU/garage project located at 13411 SE 151st At,
parcel No: 2223059112, and have the following comments:
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
WATER: The water service is provided by the Maplewood Addition water coop.
SEWER: The current home is on septic.
STORM DRAINAGE: There is no stormwater main along the frontage of the property on SE 151st St.
There are critical areas onsite including Regulated Slopes, Erosion Hazard – High, Special Flood
Hazard Area, and Regulated Shoreline. The site is located in Zone 2 of the City’s Aquifer Protection
Area (APA).
STREETS: The proposed project fronts SE 151st St to the north property line and is classified as a
Residential Access Road with an existing ROW width of 60-feet.
WATER COMMENTS:
1. Approval from the Maplewood Addition water co-op for the construction of a new ADU was
provided as part of the land use submittal.
SEWER COMMENTS:
1. Provide an approval from King County Public Health for the proposed ADU at the time
of building permit submittal.
STORM DRAINAGE COMMENTS:
1. Donna Breske & Associates, with the Land use application, submitted a Preliminary
Drainage Plan and Technical Information Report (TIR) dated December 19, 2024. Based on
Docusign Envelope ID: 22A8539B-6B4F-45E9-B44D-17C2E5317108
ADVISORY NOTES TO APPLICANT
Page 2 of 4 LUA24-000300
the City of Renton’s flow control map, the site falls within the Flow Control Duration
(Matching Forested) standard and is within the Lower Cedar River drainage basin. The
report is based on a simplified and targeted drainage review.
a. General: Critical areas on site that may affect stormwater review include: Regulated
Slopes, Erosion Hazard – High, Special Flood Hazard Area, and Regulated Shoreline.
i. A supplemental Geotechnical Report was prepared by Pacific Geo
Engineering, dated June 28, 2024, was submitted by the Applicant with
the Land Use Application that address the critical areas on-site.
b. Offsite Analysis, RSWDM Core Requirement #2: All proposed projects must submit
an offsite analysis report that assesses potential offsite drainage and water quality
impacts associated with development of the project site and the initial permit
submittal shall include, at minimum, a Level 1 Downstream Analysis. A level 1
downstream analysis has been included.
c. Flow Control, RSWDM Core Requirement #3: 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. The project is claiming an exemption
due to less than 5,000 square feet of new impervious surface.
i. Staff concurs with the exemption.
d. Conveyance, RSWDM Core Requirement #4: All new conveyance systems
constructed as part of the project must be sized to meet RSWDM standards for the
total tributary area (onsite and offsite) that the storm systems serve. No new
conveyance system is proposed.
e. Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention, Core Requirement #5: The proposal
does not include a CSWPP and ESC plan.
i. An erosion control plan will be required as part of the building permit
submittal.
f. Maintenance and Operations, Core Requirement #6: The preliminary TIR includes a
maintenance and operation manual.
g. Financial Guarantees and Liability, RSWDM Core Requirement #7: All drainage
facilities constructed or modified for projects must comply with the financial
guarantee requirements and the liability requirements of the City.
i. Based on the proposal a performance bond would not be required.
h. Water Quality, RSWDM Core Requirement #8: All projects that add more than
5,000 square feet of pollution generating impervious surface (PGIS) that is not fully
dispersed and less than 0.75 acre of pollution generating pervious surface that is
not fully dispersed require water quality.
i. This project does not require water quality treatment. However the
project is proposing the use of a Contech stormfilter to treat the PGIS
before routing runoff to a proposed drywell for infiltration. The
proposed configuration is conceptually acceptable.
ii. Full infiltration may be applied to any non-pollution generating
impervious surface (NPGIS) and to those pollution generating
impervious surfaces (PGIS) where either the soil beneath the
infiltration BMP has properties that reduce the risk of groundwater
contamination per Section 5.2.1 of the RSWDM or where a water quality
facility provides treatment prior to infiltration. However, if water quality
treatment (Core Requirement #8) would not otherwise be required and

the soil properties are not met, the applicant can consider full
infiltration of PGIS infeasible.
i. Appropriate on-site BMPs satisfying Core Requirement #9 will be required to help
mitigate the new runoff created by this development to the maximum extend
feasible. On-site BMPs shall be evaluated as described in Section C.1.3 of the 2022
RSWDM. A preliminary drainage plan, including the application of on-site BMPs,
shall be included with the land use application, as appliable to the project. The final
drainage plan and drainage report must be submitted with the building permit.
i. Full infiltration is proposed via drywell. Applicant will need to provide
septic system approval from king county with recommend setbacks for
the drywell system. A site plan showing the septic system and drywell
location with setback dimensions will be required at building permit
submittal.
ii. Infiltration devices must be located downgradient of the primary and
reserve drain areas.
j. Special Requirement #6: Aquifer Protection Areas is required for projects in Targeted
Drainage Review Project Category #1.
i. The site is located in Zone 2 of the City’s Aquifer Protection Area (APA).
In this zone, stormwater open conveyance systems, such as ditches and
channels, and water quality facilities may require a liner per sections
6.2.4 and 1.2.4.3 of the 2022 RSWDM. Special Requirement #6 will need
to be evaluated as part of the drainage review.
2. A geotechnical report for the site is required and shall be submitted with the land use
application. Information concerning the soils, geology, drainage patterns, vegetation
present, water table and soil permeability, with recommendations of appropriate on-site
BMP options with typical designs for the site from the geotechnical engineer, shall be
submitted with the application. The geotechnical report should include an on-site
infiltration test to clearly show if the site is suitable or unsuitable for infiltration.
a. A geotechnical report prepared by Pacific Geo Engineering, dated June 28, 2024,
was submitted by the Applicant with the Land Use Application.
b. The geotechnical report indicates the subsurface soils are primarily of medium
sand with gravel. A long-term design infiltration rate of 3.6-inch/hour was
recommended for the design of infiltration facilities. No groundwater mounding
was observed at the test pit locations up to eight feet below existing grade.
3. The 2025 Surface water system development fee (SDC) is $2,350.00 per new single-family
residence and ADU. This is payable prior to issuance of the construction permit and are not
vested to the rates at land-use approval. This fee is subject to change based on the calendar
year the construction permit is issued.
TRANSPORTATION/STREET COMMENTS:
1. Per City code 4-6-060 frontage improvements are required for new construction or addition in
excess of $175,000. The proposed project fronts SE 151st St to the north with existing right of
way (ROW) width of approximately 60 feet with an existing paved width of approximately 22
feet. To meet the City’s complete street standards for a residential access street, per RMC
4-6-060, a minimum ROW width of 53 feet is required. Per RMC 4-6-060 half of street
improvements as taken from the road centerline shall be required and include a 26-foot
