The city wants me to work on some type of modification for the landscape wall in front of the south vault.
Please follow up with Brianne and see what she wants, supposedly she is going to waive a bunch of the
applications.

Hello Bob,
I’m responding on behalf of Nate and Jill, who are out of the office this week. We are okay with a retaining wall
adjacent to the sidewalk with an exposed height of no more than 2.5 feet, if possible.
CAUTION: This email originated from outside the City of Renton. Do not click links, reply or open attachments unless you
know the content is safe.
To formally approve this request, a modification will need to be submitted to remove the required 3-foot separation
between the right-of-way and the face of the retaining wall (RMC 4-4-040.2.d). Here is a link to the modification
requirements. I’ve also copied Clark on this email—he can answer any questions about the modification process
while Jill is away.

See pictures, the slope next to the vault is quite steep and one structure is above ground. I would like to
put a landscape wall 1.5 3.5 feet tall along the sidewalk to the entrance of the tract road to service the
vault. This would allow more landscaping that will be maintained and help sluffing of topsoil during rain
events. The wall right next to the sidewalk will help with weed control also.
Please let me know if it is approved and let me know you received these emails.
Thanks
Bob wenzl
