TO: Mariah Kerrihard, Associate Planner
FROM: Heather Bray, Civil Plan Reviewer
SUBJECT: Oasis Home Daycare
4508 NE 4th Street, Renton, WA
LUA25-000195
I have reviewed the application for Oasis Home Daycare located at 4508 NE 4th Street and have the following
comments:
EXISTING CONDITONS: The site is approximately 0.46 acres and has one insurance office and single wide
accessory structure. It is fronted by private property to the north, east, and west, and NE 4th Street to the south. It
is comprised of one king county parcel number 1023059117.
WATER: The project is within the City of Renton’s water service area in the Highlands 565 Pressure Zone. The
static water pressure is approximately 67 psi at ground elevation of 410 feet. There is an existing 8-
inch Cast Iron City water main located in NE 4th St that can deliver a maximum flow capacity of 2,500
gallons per minute (GPM) (Record Dwg: W-024005). There is an existing 3/4-inch water meter and
service to the existing building.
SEWER: The project is within the City of Renton’s sanitary sewer service area. There is an existing 24-inch
gravity wastewater main located in NE 4th St (Record Dwg: S-05031B). There is an existing 8-inch
gravity wastewater main located to the north of project site (Record Dwg: S-310703). There is an
existing 6-inch PVC sewer stub connecting to the 8-inch sewer main to the north.
STORM: There is an existing 12-inch private stormwater main that runs in the east-west direction and is
located approximately in the middle of the site below the proposed outdoor storage area. The
storm system conveys a stream that drains a large upstream tributary area that includes wetlands
and floodplains.
STREETS: The proposed development fronts NE 4th Street along the south property line which is classified as
a Principal Arterial Road. The existing ROW width is approximately 84 feet.

1. Based on the review of project information submitted for the pre-application meeting, Renton Regional Fire
Authority has determined that the preliminary fire flow demand for the proposed development is unchanged
from the existing building. However, an approved fire sprinkler and fire alarm system will be required to be
installed throughout the building if the occupant load exceeds 50 students. The following developer’s
installed water improvements will be required to provide domestic and fire protection service to the
development including but not limited to the items that follow:
a. The project is not proposing a fire sprinkler system as they will not exceed the 50-student
capacity, which is conceptually acceptable.
b. At the time of land use application, the project does not propose any plumbing in the
manufactured home (trailer). As a condition of approval, the project shall cut and cap the
existing waterline going to the trailer prior to construction closeout. Alternatively, the project
may install a new 1-inch service line and 3/4-inch meter with a double check valve assembly
(DCVA) downstream of the new meter on-site.
c. Installation of a “Storz” adapter on the existing hydrants will be required, if they are not
already equipped with one.
2. A conceptual utility plan will be required as part of the land use application for the subject development.
a. The applicant has submitted a conceptual utility plan that does not address removal of the
existing water service to the trailer. Either the project will need to propose a new water meter
or show cut & cap of the water service at time of building permit.
3. The development is subject to meter installation fees based on the number and size of the meters for
domestic uses and for fire sprinkler use. Current fees can be found in the 2025 Development Fees
document on the City’s website here. Fees will be charged based on the rate at the time of construction
permit issuance.
SEWER COMMENTS
1. The project needs to CCTV the existing side sewer and provide that video to the City of Renton for review.
a. The applicant has submitted a sewer inspection report stating that the sewer service is in
perfect working order. The applicant will need to provide the CCTV video at time of building
permit submittal.
2. The existing onsite septic system will need to be decommissioned and removed in accordance with
Washington State Department of Health Requirements.
a. City of Renton has verified King County decommissioning approval of the existing septic system
which is conceptually acceptable. The applicant shall provide official approval notice from
King County at time of building permit submittal.
3. The project needs to connect to the existing 6-inch sewer stub to the north of the project site, the side sewer
shall conform to the standards in RMC 4-6-040 and City of Renton Standard Details.
a. The applicant shows an existing side sewer connection which is conceptually acceptable.
Applicant shall demonstrate that existing sewer line was installed per City of Renton Standard
406.1 and 406.2 at time of building permit application.
4. A conceptual utility plan will be required as part of the land use application for the subject development.
a. A conceptual utility plan was submitted that does not show any changes to the private sewer
service onsite. This is conceptually acceptable.
SURFACE WATER
1. A geotechnical report was not provided in the Land Use Application.
a. The scope of work does not trigger requirement to provide a geotechnical report, therefore,
this is acceptable.
2. A Preliminary Technical Information Memo dated April 9th, 2025 was submitted with the Land Use
Application. The report is based on no drainage review being required.

a. The scope of work does not trigger Core Requirements 1-9. The Technical Information Memo is
acceptable.
b. Aquifer Protection Area, RSWDM Special Requirement #6: The proposed project is not located
within any zone of the APA.
1. Per record drawing R-31070D there is a 100-yr floodplain located on the property which was established as
part of the Vision House Children’s Village project. Per Section 1.3.2 of the 2022 RSWDM “regulations and
restrictions concerning development within a 100-year floodplain are found in the critical areas code, RMC
4-3-050”. RMC 4-3-050.C.5.a prohibits “encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial
improvements, and construction or reconstruction of residential structures is prohibited within designated
floodways, unless it meets the provisions of subsection G4e of this section, Additional Restrictions within
Floodways.”
a. The scope of work does not appear to be within the floodplain which is conceptually
acceptable.
2. Since the proposed project contains a flood hazard area, per Section 1.3.2 of the 2022 RSWDM “the 100-
year floodplain, and applicable floodway, shall be determined and their boundaries, together with the
boundaries of the severe and moderate channel migration hazard area (if applicable), shall be delineated
on the site improvement plans and profiles”. Therefore, a flood plain/floodway study per Section 4.4.2 of
the 2022 RSWDM is required.
a. At the time of land-use, the applicant is proposing 626 square feet of pollution generating
(synthetic turf) surface for a playground structure. The applicant shall provide a pervious
surfacing as defined in the 2022 Renton Surface Water Design Manual OR a Flood Study
meeting Special Requirement #2 Floodplain/Floodway Analysis per Section 1.3.2 at building
permit application.

overall valuation of $175,000, the project site(s) shall be required to meet the City’s Complete Streets

under the $175,000 threshold. This is conceptually acceptable.
2. Refer to City code 4-4-080 regarding driveway regulations.
a. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the existing driveway to the east. This project
shall replace the existing driveway that is ADA compliant per RMC 4-4-080 at time of Civil
Construction Permit Application.
b. The applicant is proposing to close the existing secondary driveway to the west which is
conceptually acceptable.
3. Undergrounding of all existing and proposed utilities is required on all frontages per RMC 4-6-090.
a. The applicant is not proposing any changes or additions to the power. This is conceptually
acceptable.
4. Sites that generate 20 or more net new peak hour trips (either in the AM peak or PM peak) are required to do
a traffic impact analysis. The trips should be calculated based on the guidelines of the current ITE Trip
Generation Manual. Refer to the attached policy guidelines for traffic impact analysis for guidelines. If the
site generates 20 or more new peak hour trips in either AM peak or PM peak, then applicant should contact
the City to get information of the locations where traffic analysis is required.
a. The applicant submitted a Trip Generation Assessment dated March 5th, 2025 by Heath &
