SUBJECT: Billing Short Plat
14103 160th Ave SE
LUA24-000190
I have reviewed the application for the Billing Short Plat located at 14103 160th Ave SE and have the
following comments:
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site is a single parcel (1423059011) of approximately 17,100 square feet. The site currently contains
a single family home. The site is fronted by private property in the north, private property to the west,
private property to the South and 160th Ave SE to the east.
WATER: The proposed development is within the King County Water District 90 service area
SEWER: The proposed development is within the City’s sewer service area. There is an existing 10-inch

the proposed site, conveying wastewater south. There are two existing polyvinyl chloride sewer
stubs serving the existing home on the property.
STORM: The site is slightly sloped from the northwest to southeast. There is an existing 12-inch public
stormwater main on the east side of 160th Ave SE (see record drawing SWP2703472). There is an
existing surface water ditch and a 12-inch polyethylene stormwater main on the West side of
160th Ave Se (no record drawing)

SEWER COMMENTS
1. Individual sewer stubs from the sewer main and individual side sewers are required for each lot.
All new sewer stubs shall conform to the standards in RMC 4-6-060 and City of Renton Standard
Details.

submit with the civil construction permit application accordingly to show sewer stubs
and side sewers conforming to City standards.
2. The development is subject to a wastewater system development charge (SDC) fee. SDC fee for

STORM DRAINAGE COMMENTS
1. A geotechnical report dated November 19, 2021, completed by Nelson Geotechnical Associates.
Inc, was provided with the Land Use Application. The report discusses the soil and groundwater
characteristics of the site and provides recommendations for project design and construction.
Geotechnical recommendations presented in this report state that full infiltration is not feasible;
however, shallow, low-impact design infiltration system may be feasible at specific areas within
the site.
2. A revised Preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR) dated on November 22nd, 2025 was
submitted with the Land Use Application. Based on the City of Renton’s flow control map, the site
falls within the Flow Control Duration Standard- Matching Forested and falls within a Flood
Problem Flow Control Standard and is within the Lower Cedar River Drainage Basin. Therefore,
the project must match the Existing site conditions for the 100-year peaks, in addition to matching
the Forested site conditions for the 2-year and 10-year peaks and the discharge durations from

50% of the 2-year peak to the full 50-year peak. The report is based on a Full drainage review and
Core Requirements 1 thru 9 and the six Special Requirements have been discussed in the Technical
Information Report.
a. Offsite Analysis, RSWDM Core Requirement #2: All proposed projects must submit an
offsite analysis report that assesses potential offsite drainage and water quality impacts
associated with development of the project site.
i. The preliminary TIR submittal indicated that there are no downstream drainage
problems.
b. Flow Control, RSWDM Core Requirement #3: Any proposed detention and/or water
quality vault shall be designed in accordance with the RSWDM that is current at the time
of civil construction permit application. The preliminary TIR claims an exemption from
providing a flow control facility as the site split into two different TDAs and the run-offs
from each TDAs generate less than 0.15 CFS.
i. Staff concurs with the exemption based on the conceptual plan and revised TIR
included with the land use application. A more detailed review will be
conducted at the time of civil construction permit.
c. Conveyance, RSWDM Core Requirement #4: All new conveyance systems constructed as
part of the project must be sized to RSWDM standards for the total tributary area (onsite
and offsite) that the storm systems serve.
i. Conveyance analysis is not provided with the preliminary TIR submittal.
Applicant to provide conveyance analysis for the existing stormwater system
per RSWDM section 1.2.4.2.
ii. Applicant shall relocate existing stormwater system to the flow line of the new
frontage.
d. Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention, Core Requirement #5: The proposal
indicates that a plan will be addressed during final design.
i. A CSWPP plan shall be provided as part of the TIR and construction plans
included with the Civil Construction Permit application.
e. Maintenance and Operations, Core Requirement #6: The proposal indicates that a
maintenance and operation manual will be addressed during final design.
i. A maintenance and operation manual shall be provided as part of the TIR and
included with the Civil Construction Permit application instead of the building
permit process as stated in the preliminary TIR submittal.
f. Water Quality, RSWDM Core Requirement #8: All projects that add more than 5,000
square feet of pollution generating impervious surface that is not fully dispersed and less
than 0.75 acre of pollution generating pervious surface that is not fully dispersed require
water quality. The TIR states that the project will utilize landscape area as stormwater
filter strip to provide water quality treatment for PGIS.
i. Staff concurs with this approach based on the conceptual plan and revised TIR
included with the land use application; however, a more detailed review will be
conducted at the time of civil construction permit.
g. Onsite BMPs, RSWDM Core Requirement #9: Appropriate on-site BMPs will be required
to help mitigate the new runoff created by this development. The project proposes
bioretention and infiltration per section 1.2.9.2.1 of the 2022 RSWDM - Small Lot BMP
requirements.
i. Staff concurs with this approach based on the conceptual plan and revised TIR
included with the land use application. A more detailed review will be
conducted at the time of civil construction permit.
