Site Address – 3401 NE 12th St, Renton WA 98056
Parcel No – 0923059124
Applicant – CW Design, Inc / 425-271-0082 / PO Box 476, Renton WA 98057
The subject parcel currently has a one-story single-family dwelling (approx. 990sf) constructed in
1938. Based on city GIS mapping there are no critical areas within the subject parcel. The subject
parcel is 26,140 square feet (0.60 acres), based on King County Assessor’s data.
The proposed townhouse development will consist of (3) separate 3-story buildings, each
building will have 4 dwelling units with attached garages. Each dwelling will have an entry
accessed from the on-site paved drive aisle. Access to the subject parcel will be taken from NE
12th St.
The subject parcel is zoned RMF, which allows for a minimum net density of 10 dwelling units
per acre up to a maximum net density of 20 dwelling units per acre. The proposed development
will have 12 total dwelling units (0.60 acres x 10 = 6 min dwelling units and 0.60 acres x 20 = 12
max dwelling units).
The subject parcel has 11 existing trees on site. The proposed development will retain 3 of the
existing trees (trees 5, 9, and 10). Tree #11 was determined to be a dead tree and will be
removed. The trees to be removed for the proposed development are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8.
Pre-App Questions
1.Based on retaining three of the existing trees, will additional replacement trees be
required due to the trees being removed for development?
2.We are proposing a paved 20ft access to the site. Does this meet the current fire access
requirements? Is a fire apparatus turn-around required?
3.If the buildings are sprinkled, can we reduce the rated wall assembly requirements?
4.If we provide two parking spaces within each unit garage, are we required to add any
surface parking for guests?
5.What are the required frontage improvements along NE 12th St?
6.Are there any minimum common area/amenity area measurements (i.e. 20ft in any one
direction)?
7.Can we place the stormwater facility under the proposed drive aisle?
8.Is there a ROW dedication required?
9.Are affordable units required for a 12-unit development?
10.Is SEPA required?
11.Do we need to submit for a civil permit prior to the building permits, or can they run
concurrently?
