Applicant to provide a drainage study demonstrating that the existing off-site detention/wet pond meets the standards of the 2022 Renton Surface Water Design Manual Core Requirement #3, otherwise, a new detention facility or modification to the existing pond may be required. a. The study shall include facility sizing calculations and verification of existing pond volume, orifice sizing and as-built data as necessary. 2. Applicant shall demonstrate that the site meets the Enhanced Basic Water Quality Exceptions per section 1.2.8.1 of the 2022 Renton Surface Water Design Manual. a. The applicant shall provide either enhanced basic water quality or identify in the Technical Information Report why a facility from the Enhanced Basic Water Quality menu meets the exception criteria. 3. The footing drains appear to be within the groundwater table per the preliminary Geotechnical Report dated July 18th, 2025. The project shall design the site in a manner that does not discharge collected groundwater into the detention facility or any on-site BMPs. If the project is unable to avoid discharging groundwater into the detention facility, then the facility shall be sized to accommodate the additional continuous groundwater flows as measured by the Geotechnical Engineer. 4. Provide linework and callouts on the plans for the proposed emergency access easement. 5. Show the wetland buffer and associated building setback line on all plan sheets. 6. Street frontage dedications need to be shown on the plans. Building setback lines need to be adjusted per the dedications. Valvoline Instant Oil Change LUA25-000338 Page 2 of 2 2 a. Dedication shall be provided along NE 4th Street of at least 15-feet behind the face of curb to accommodate the proposed sidewalk section. That dedication shall be carried through to the east edge of the northernmost property line.

The City of Renton does not allow side sewer connections into public manholes. 2. Show a minimum 15-foot-wide utility easement for the sewer main located on-site if one does not already exist. 3. Show a minimum 15-foot-wide utility easement for the water main located on-site if one does not already exist. 4.

M E M O R A N D U M DATE: October 24, 2025 TO: Mariah Kerrihard, Associate Planner FROM: Corey Thomas, Lead Plans Review Inspector SUBJECT: Valvoline Oil Change Service Environmental Impact Comments: 1. Fire impact fees are applicable at the rate of $0.66 per square foot of new building areas. This fee is paid at the time of building permit issuance. Fire Code Comments: 1. The preliminary fire flow for the proposed new building is 2,000 gpm. A minimum of two fire hydrants are required. One within 150-feet and one within 300-feet of the building. It appears that there are adequate fire hydrants near this location, so no new fire hydrants will be necessary. 2. The threshold for fire sprinklers is 5,000 square feet. This appears less than that so fire sprinklers may not be needed. The threshold for fire alarm systems is 3,000 square feet, so it appears that an approved fire alarm system will also not be required. Direct outside access is required to the fire sprinkler riser room if needed. A fire alarm system is required to be fully addressable and full detection is required. Separate plans and permits required by the fire department. 3. The fire department apparatus access is acceptable from existing private on-site streets and public streets. 4. Separate plans and permits for all combustible fluid tanks shall be obtained from the Renton Regional Fire Authority. A complete hazardous material inventory statement shall be submitted and reviewed prior to building permit issuance. Use of fire department form or equivalent is required. 1 Mariah Kerrihard From:Stephanie Rary Sent:Wednesday, October 29, 2025 10:07 AM To:Mariah Kerrihard Subject:LUA25-000338 Valvoline NE 4th St Follow Up Flag:Follow up Flag Status:Flagged Categories:Current Applications Hello Mariah, I have reviewed the above-mentioned LUA and have the following comments:  Based on the civil construction plans, it appears that the proposed improvements will encroach into two easement areas: o It appears there will be a slight encroachment into the Public Trail Easement highlighted in yellow, below; and o The plans indicate a more significant encroachment into the Emergency Access easement highlighted in green, below. There are parking spaces proposed over this easement, which would hinder emergency access. The Emergency Access easement connects to Vashon Court NE, which is private; however, the City has an easement over this private road pursuant to the plat.  Both easements were created by the Whitman Court plat, Volume 273 of Plats, Pages 19-25. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
