It’s kind of buried – I didn’t notice it at first. I can also add “sprinklers required in all new homes” as a condition of approval to the land use decision, if that works for you.

We don’t suggest variances, we want the applicant to ask, we want code compliance. Thanks.

If your comment (attached for your reference) remains the same, that’s just fine, I just wasn’t sure if a variance/reduction with conditions would be supported and wanted to run it by you.

Bainotti <FBainotti@coredesigninc.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2025 4:16 PM To: Alex Morganroth <AMorganroth@Rentonwa.gov> Cc: Kevin Rech <kevin@cadehillhomes.com> Subject: FW: LUA25-000108 & LUA25-000111 (20081k) Hey Alex, In your opinion, would the City (Fire Marshall) be open to maintaining the private road at 16 feet within a dedicated tract, given that all homes are within hose reach, will be fully sprinklered, the access will be posted and marked as a fire lane with no parking, and the private road will meet structural standards for fire apparatus? We believe this configuration still provides safe and reliable emergency access. Have you seen a similar solution approved in other projects, or are there any other alternatives you’d suggest we consider? Considering that the minimum paved width for shared access serving up to four lots is 16 feet, increasing the width to 20 feet of pavement for access to just two lots appears to provide limited added value and may not be warranted for the scale of this development. If no other approach is feasible, I’ve also included an exhibit showing the 20-foot-wide access road for your review prior to the official resubmittal. This layout still meets the minimum lot width and area requirements, with a lot width of 72 feet and a total area of 8,730 square feet. We appreciate your input. Have a great night, Flavio. Flavio R.

I do have two comments that need to be addressed before we can issue the decisions (which we are close to). One from our fire reviewer and two from our legal reviewer.

Docusign Envelope ID: 2F0A5429-73BB-4C2C-8A19-A160486434DB Jones North Fire Comment: Access road needs to be 20 feet wide as indicated in the preapp. Legal Reviewer Comment: The title report is out of date, is from a previous owner, and does not contain links to all of the encumbrances on the property. Jones South Legal Reviewer Comment: The title report is out of date, is from a previous owner, and does not contain links to all of the encumbrances on the property. I’ll likely place the reviews on hold unti we resolve these comments. That won’t really change anything for you, it just stops the project clock on our end. The title reports should be pretty easy to address, but the Fire comment we may have to chat on.
