The survey provided should correctly show all utilities internal to the site and also on the existing frontages. The existing public sewer main on Monster Road SW (north of the site) and the public sewer main from the sewer manhole facility ID MHO129 to sewer manhole facility ID MHO131 should be shown correctly. The proposed building appears to encroach on the sewer main connecting the MHO129 and MH0131. Building should not encroach or be within 10 feet of the sewer main of sewer manhole. To address this concern, the developer can add a new public sewer manhole at a distance of 10 feet away from the building and abandon and remove the existing sewer manhole and the portion of public sewer main (within the site) that will be within 10 feet of the building. Or, an equivalent alternative may be proposed to the City. 2. The water main at the south side of the building does not have 10 feet separation from the building. The water main should be located minimum 10 feet away from the building. There should be minimum 15 feet wide public easement for the public water main. 3. Stormwater -If the parcel owners of the parcels sharing the shared storm facility gives you written document agreeing to the increase of impervious surface in your parcel with the understanding that it will affect any increase of impervious area in their respective parcels, then the existing facility can be used for the flow control facility needs of the project. If the written document from the owners of the adjacent parcels that are involved in the shared facility agreement is not provided to the City, a flow control facility meeting the requirements of the 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual will be required to be provided within the subject site. 4.

This should transition to a section that includes the planter between the curb and sidewalk at the locations where there is no grade concern. The maximum allowed slope back of sidewalk is 41-1: 1V. Sixteen (16) feet wide half street pavement width is required from the buttons in the street, 0.5 feet wide curb, planter and sidewalk — (a) at location of grade concern the 6 feet wide sidewalk can be provided adjacent to the curb with a pedestrian safety railing and (b) at location where there is no grade concerns, the 8 feet wide landscaped planter should be provided between the curb and a 8 feet wide sidewalk.
