NOTE: The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary is preliminary and
non-binding and may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official City decision-
makers. 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.
I have reviewed the application for Iden’s Dealer Services TI at 102 Lake Ave S, APN 3806000045,
and have the following comments:
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site is approximately 0.48 acres in size and is rectangular in shape. There is one existing
commercial building designated as a warehouse. The site is completely paved with parking, and a
small portion of landscaping at the westerly corners of the property.
Water Water service is provided by City of Renton. The project site is within the City of Renton’s
water service area in the Valley 196 Pressure Zone. There is an existing 8-inch cast iron
City water main located in Lake Ave S (see water plan no. W-033001) that can deliver a
maximum flow capacity of 2,500 gallons per minute (gpm). The approximate static water
pressure is 73 psi at ground elevation of 27 feet. There is an existing 1-inch domestic
water service (Facility ID no. MTR-015734) and an existing ¾” domestic water service to
the existing building (Facility ID no. MTR-015733). The site is located within Zone 2 of the
Wellhead Protection Area Zone.
Sewer Wastewater service is provided by the City of Renton. There is an existing 8-inch PVC
wastewater main located in Lake Ave S (see sewer plan no. S-044904). The existing
building is served by a 6-inch side sewer lateral. No record drawing is available.

Storm There is an existing 24-inch stormwater main in Lake Ave S (see drainage plan no. D-
217209). The existing property collects stormwater in catch basins on site and discharges
them to the City’s storm main. The site contains high seismic hazards across the entire
property.
Streets Lake Ave S is a Commercial-Mixed Use & Industrial Access Street with an existing right of
way (ROW) width of 60.0-ft as measured using the King County Assessor’s Map and
approximately 44.0-ft of asphalt paving, 3-feet of landscaping, and a 6-foot concrete
sidewalk.
WATER COMMENTS
1. The existing ¾” or 1” water service and meter can be re-used for the existing building if
sized appropriately. Sizing will be in accordance with the most recent Uniform Plumbing
code. The water service and meter that will not be utilized must be cut and capped at the
main by City forces for abandonment.
a. At the time of land-use application, the applicant does not propose any
changes to the water service which is conceptually acceptable.
b. If the existing water meter within the sidewalk is to be re-used, it must be
relocated within the landscape strip.

the meters for domestic uses and for fire sprinkler use if upgrading is required or
needed. Current fees can be found in the 2025 Development Frees document on the
City’s website. Fees will be charged based on the rate at the time of construction permit
issuance.

acceptable to the sewer department. Otherwise, a new sewer stub and side sewer shall be
installed to serve the proposed use.

TRANSPORTATION COMMENTS
1. An accessible route of travel meeting American’s with Disabilities Act’s requirements (ADA)
from the public right of way to the working facilities is required and will be reviewed in

landings will also be reviewed. Additional parking spaces, restriping and ramps may be
required.
a. At the time of land-use application, the applicant provided an ADA route of
travel along with designated ADA parking which is conceptually acceptable.
Further review will be done at the time of building permit.
2. As this project is an interior remodel that does not involve a building addition, it is exempt
from dedications or right-of-way improvements. However, if during land-use and/or other
agency reviews it is determined that outside site and parking/lot improvements are
required, the project may become subject to further transportation review.
a. At the time of land-use application, the applicant does not propose dedication
which is conceptually acceptable.
