PROJECT NAME: Forest Terrace Preliminary Plat
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Preliminary Plat approval, Environmental
Review (SEPA), Critical Areas Variance, and two (2) modifications to subdivide a 596,570 square foot (13.70 acre)
site located at 2611 Union Ave NE (subject property) into 25 single-family residential lots, four (4) open space
tracts, and one (1) drainage tract. The subject property is located in the Residential-4 (R-4) zoning classification
and Residential Low Density Comprehensive Plan land use designation. Proposed lot sizes would range from 9,038
to 19,584 square feet with an overall density of approximately 2.14 dwellings per net acre. One (1) existing single-
family residence on the subject property would be removed. Access to the site would be via a new public
residential access street extending from Union Ave NE through the subject property with stubs for future
connectivity along the north and western property limits. The applicant would also construct frontage
improvements on Union Ave NE along the subject property and the frontage of 2623 Union Ave NE. Stormwater
would be conveyed via a system of catch basins and storm pipes throughout the development with flow control
provided via two (2) detention tanks and one (1) detention vault located on the northwest portion of the property.
A proposed stormfilter would provide water quality treatment. New eight (8) inch sewer and eight (8) inch water
mains would be constructed within the subdivision's new public street and connect to the existing sewer and
water facilities located in Union Ave NE. The applicant has requested a critical areas variance to remove an existing
protected slope on the eastern portion of the subject property to construct a section of the new internal public
street with the remaining slope proposed to be replaced with a terraced retaining wall. The applicant has
requested a modification to the residential retaining wall height limitation of six (6) feet with proposed rockeries
up to 10-feet in height in the southwestern portion of the of the subject property. A second modification is
requested for frontage improvements along Union Ave NE for a modified minor arterial standard. A Lot Line
Adjustment (LUA18-000125) is also under review for the subject property and the abutting 2623 Union Ave NE
that would alter the abutting lot’s property lines to accommodate the proposed subdivision’s new public street
alignment and frontage improvements on Union Ave NE. The City’s Critical Areas map identifies potential
regulated slopes on the property between 25-40 percent with isolated areas greater than 40-percent. The
applicant has proposed to retain 119 of the subject property’s 847 viable trees. The applicant has submitted an
arborist report, geotechnical report, transportation impact analysis, and drainage report with the preliminary plat
application.

SUBJECT: Forest Terrace Preliminary Plat
2611 Union Ave NE
LUA18-000124
I have completed a preliminary review of the application of the above-referenced proposal located at
parcel 0423059142 and have the following comments: The applicant is proposing to subdivide the lots
into 25 single family lots with tracts for drainage and open space. All existing structures on the parcels
will be removed. Pipe casings are required for the portion of the new water and sewer mains that will
cross over the Olympic Pipe Line’s (OPL) petroleum pipelines and under the overhead PSE electrical
power transmission lines. Permits or consent agreements must be obtained from OPL and from PSE for
the installation of all utilities within their easement.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The Site is approximately 13.7 acres in size and is rectangular in shape. The existing site is developed
with an existing single family residence and a large amount of trees located throughout the parcel.
Water Water service is provided by the City of Renton. The site is in the Highlands service area
in the 565’ hydraulic pressure zone. The approximate static water pressure in Union
Avenue NE is 68 psi at an elevation of 408’. There is an existing 12” ductile iron dead
end water main east of the site in Union Avenue NE that can deliver a maximum
flowrate of 1,240 gallons per minute (gpm). Reference Project File WTR2702847 in COR
Maps for record drawings.
Sewer Sewer service is provided by the City of Renton. There is an existing 8” PVC sewer
running from south to north in Union Avenue NE east of the site. Reference Project File
WWP2702907 in COR Maps for record drawings. Wastewater in this main continues to
flow approximately 300’ north to a lift station at the northern City boundary
Storm Runoff along the Union Avenue NE frontage is conveyed north by a shallow ditch to the
City of Renton boundary. There is an existing 12” piped storm drain along the eastern

frontage of Union Avenue NE. Reference Project File TED4002907 in COR Maps for
record drawings. There is no on-site drainage system. Drainage from the site either
infiltrates or sheet flows north. Slopes on the site are moderate to steep with the
majority of the site sloping at 15% to 25% to the north. Some portions of the site have
slopes that exceed 25%.
Streets The proposed development frons Union Ave NE along the east property line. Union Ave
NE is classified as a Minor Arterial. Existing right-of-way (ROW) width is approximately
60 feet.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
WATER
1. A new water main will be required within the new internal roadways, Road A and Road B from
the existing 12” main in Union Avenue NE to the west property line of the subject property. The
size of the internal water main will be a minimum of 8” and up to 12” depending on the fire flow
demand of the new homes to be constructed within the development. The maximum flow rate
of the internal water main will be limited to 1,240 gpm. The flow restriction is due to a 300-ft
section of 8-inch water main in Union Ave NE from NE 25th St to the north property line of Sierra
Heights Elementary School. If this 300-ft section of 8-inch pipe is replaced with a new 12-inch
pipe, the flowrate of the existing 12-inch main in front of the subject development will increase
to 3,000 gpm. Residential buildings that have over 3,600 square feet of gross building areas may
have fire flow demand of 1,500 gpm or more which will require the installation of residential fire
sprinkler system. Please verify with the Renton Regional Fire Authority to determine the
preliminary fire flow demand and size the water main(s) accordingly to provide adequate flow to
the new hydrants.
A cathodic protection system and pipe casing is required for the portion of the new water
main that will cross over the Olympic Pipe Line’s (OPL) petroleum pipelines and under the
overhead PSE electrical power transmission lines. Permits or consent agreements must be
obtained from OPL and from PSE for the installation of the water main within their easement.
2. Each new lot requires a separate 1” water service. The service line and meter will be installed
by the City of Renton. A pressure reducing valve is required downstream of the meter if water
pressure exceeds 80 PSI at the meter. The 2018 fee to install the service line is $2,850.00. This
fee is payable at construction permit issuance. The 2018 drop-in water meter fee is $400.00 for
a 3/4-inch meter or $460.00 for a 1-inch meter. This fee is payable at building permit issuance.
3. The development is subject to system development charges (SDCs) for water service. The 2018
water SDC for a lot with a 3/4" or 1” water meter is $3,727.00. SDCs are due at the time of
construction permit issuance.
4. Fire hydrants per City standards shall be installed per Renton Regional Fire Authority
requirements. A minimum of one fire hydrant is required within 300’ of proposed homes.
There are two existing fire hydrants located along the eastern frontage of Union Avenue NE.
One is located across from the proposed road (COR Facility ID HYD-NE-00567) and the other is
located at the corner of Union Avenue NE and NE 27th Place (COR Facility ID HYD-NE-00984).

5. Water system improvements shall be designed in accordance with Appendix J of the City’s 2012
Water System Plan. Adequate horizontal and vertical separation between new water mains and
other existing and proposed utilities (sewer lines, storm drains, gas lines, power and
communication ducts) shall be provided for the operation and maintenance of the water main.
Retaining walls, rockeries, or similar structures cannot be installed over the water main unless
the water main is installed inside of a steel casing.
6. The water main needs to be extended to the west past the paved surface and located to the
west of the proposed sidewalk.
SEWER COMMENTS
1. The development is subject to system development charges (SDCs) for sewer service. The SDC
for sewer service is based on the size of the domestic water service. The 2018 sewer SDC for a
lot with a 3/4" or 1” water meter is $2,837.00 per lot. SDCs are due at the time of construction
permit issuance.
2. The development is located in the Honey Creek Sewer Interceptor Special Assessment District
(SAD). The development is subject to fees related to this SAD. A SAD fee of $250.00 will be
collected for each lot. SAD fees are due at the time of construction permit issuance.
3. Each lot shall be served by a sewer main with a minimum diameter of 8”. Sewer mains and
manholes shall be designed and installed in accordance with City and Department of Ecology
standards.
4. Each lot will require an individual sewer service line. The service lines shall be designed and
installed in accordance with the City standards. The service line shall flow by gravity to the main
where possible. The minimum service line size is 6”.
5. If each lot in the development cannot feasibly be served by gravity sewer main and gravity side
sewers further design coordination will be required with the City Plan Reviewer and the City’s
Wastewater Utility Department.
6. The downstream lift station is appropriately sized for this development. No capacity analysis or
modification to the lift station is required.
7. The existing home is served by a private on-site septic system. The septic system shall be

connect directly into Union Ave NE. The lots accessing from NE 27th Place will obtain sanitary
sewer service from the existing 8-inch sewer main within NE 27th Place.
a. The sewer main needs to be extended to the west past the paved surface and located
to the west of the proposed sidewalk.
b. The sewer main will need to connect into MH3732 located at the center of the
intersection at NE 27th Place. In order to meet flow requirements the sewer will need
to be relayed along the east side of Union Ave to the lift station.
STORM DRAINAGE COMMENTS
1. The development is subject to stormwater system development charges (SDCs). The 2018
stormwater SDC is $1,718.00 per lot. The SDC will be collected for each new lot. SDCs are due
at the time of construction permit issuance.
2. Drainage plans and a drainage report complying with the adopted 2017 Renton Surface Water
Design Manual will be required.
3. A preliminary Drainage Plan and Technical Information Report (TIR), dated June 18, 2018, was
submitted by Barghausen Engineering with the Land Use Application. Based on the City of
Renton’s flow control map, the site falls under Flow Control Duration Standards (Forested
Conditions) and is located within the May Creek drainage basin. The development is subject to a
Full Drainage Review in accordance with the 2017 Renton Surface Water Design Manual
(RSWDM). All nine core requirements and the six special requirements have been discussed in
the Technical Information Report. The detention, water quality and conveyance shall be
designed in accordance with the RSWDM that is current at the time of the civil construction
permit application. The applicant has proposed to install bypass located within Union Ave that
collects the storm runoff from the south of the proposed frontage and connects to the norther
Catch Basin.
a. The development is proposes to install a stormwater detention vault located on the
Northeast corner of the proposed development. The Storm water vault has been sized
assuming that no BMP credits will be used for the individual build lots.
b. The development is also proposing to install a detention pipe system within the access
road located on the north end of the property. System will need to be sized in
accordance with the 2017 RSWDM.
c. The applicant is proposing to use a stormfilter in order for the project to meet the water
quality requirements. The stormfilter is proposed within the access road along the north
side of the detention vault.
d. Applicant is proposing to discharge the water from the project via an 18 inch storm pipe
located on the west side of Union Avenue.
i. Pipe should be located within the curb line of the future roadway. Based on
the proposed plans the storm line should be relocated to the east of the
power poles.

e. On-site BMPs satisfying Core Requirement #9 will be required for the site. On-site
BMPs shall be evaluated in order of preference by feasibility as described in Section
C.1.3 of the 2017 RSWDM. Applicant proposes to use bio retention facilities wherever
possible in the planter strips along the onsite roadway. Perforated pipes will be
installed for each of the individual lots and will be tight lined to the proposed
stormwater conveyance system.
i. Per the Gerotechnical report submitted by Terra Associates, Inc, Bioretention
is not suitable for this site due to the limited infiltration
ii. Basic dispersion may be feasible. If feasible, basic dispersion should be
implemented to the maximum extent feasible which may be more than 10% of
the total lot area. Feasibility of on-site BMPs for each lot will be reviewed at
the time of single family building permit. The restricted footprint BMP can still
be used in addition to receive the 10% lot area modeling credit when sizing
the detention vault. Final TIR should clearly explain how target surfaces from
plat infrastructure (road and sidewalk) are mitigated by on-site BMPs or how
BMPs are infeasible for these surfaces.
4. A Geotechnical Report, dated July 19th, 2017, completed by Terra Associates, Inc. for the site has
been provided. The submitted report describes two different sections of soil characteristics. The
southern section consists of dense silty sands with gravel where the norther portion of the site
contains medium dense to dense sand with varying amounts of silt and gravel. Based on the
report the site conditions consist of type C soils as described from the International building
code, which contains a low risk for seismic hazard. The Geotechnical report includes multiple
preventative measure that should be following during construction. Major concerns can be
prevented by limiting site clearing and grading activities to dry months and limiting the area of
disturbance. The Geotechnical report mentions that infiltration is not feasible due the types of
soils that are located onsite, the geotech recommends that stormwater be detained to control
the release of the stormwater.
5. Storm drainage improvements along all public street frontages (new internal site streets and
Union Avenue NE) are required to conform to the City’s street standards. New storm drain shall
be designed and sized in accordance with the standards found in Chapter 4 of the 2017 Renton
Surface Water Design Manual.
6. A Construction Stormwater General Permit from the Washington Department of Ecology is
required as site clearing will exceed one acre.
TRANSPORTATION/STREET COMMENTS
1. The 2017 transportation impact fee is $5,430.85 per single family home. Fees are payable at the
time of building permit issuance for each individual home.
2. All new internal site streets shall be designed in accordance with the residential access street
standards found in RMC 4-6-060. The minimum right of way width for a residential access street
is 53’. The minimum paved roadway width is 26’ which includes 2 – 10’ travel lanes and 1 – 6’
parking lane. A 0.5’ curb, 8’ planter, and 5’ sidewalk are required along both sides of the
roadway. The required intersection turning radius is 25’ when intersecting with another

residential access street and 35’ when intersecting with an arterial street. Street grades shall
not exceed 15%.
a. Applicant will need to install a guardrail off of the north side of Road B and along the
access road.
b. The northside of cul-de-sac will need to maintain an 8-foot planter strip and 5 foot
sidewalk to the end of the western property line. The cul-de-sac shall be located
within City of Renton Right of way and shall need to be dedicated to the city. The City
will be responsible for maintenance within this area and lot lines will need to be
adjusted accordingly. The planter width should be maintained throughout the
perimeter of the cul-de-sac.
c. At the west end of the proposed Road A, a Future road connection sign will need to be
installed with a permanent type 3 barricade.
d. The proposed width does not include 26 feet of pavement as required. Roadway width
will need to be adjusted during the civil construction permit application.
e. Applicant will need to ensure that all proposed ramps are ADA compliant and should
be shown on the plan set for the civil construction permit.
3. Union Avenue NE is classified as a minor arterial. Per RMC 4-6-060, the minimum right of way
width for a minor arterial with four lanes is 91’. The existing right of way width is approximately
60’. The minimum paved roadway width is 54’ consisting of 4 – 11’ travel lanes and 2 – 5’ bike
lanes. A 0.5’ curb, 8’ planter, 8’ sidewalk, and 2’ clear at back of sidewalk are required along
each side of the roadway. A minimum 35’ curb return (turning radius) is required at the
intersection with the new internal site street. A dedication of approximately 15.5’ along the
Union Avenue NE frontage will be required to provide a half street right of way width of 45.5’
However, the City’s Transportation Department has determined a modified minor arterial
standard is more appropriate for this portion of Union Avenue NE. The modified minor arterial
standard would require a right of way width of 81’. The paved roadway width required would
be 44’ consisting of 2 – 11’ travel lanes, 1 – 12’ travel lane, and 2 – 5’ bike lanes. A 0.5’ curb, 8’
planter, 8’ sidewalk, and 2’ clear at the back of sidewalk are required along each side of the
roadway. A right of way dedication of approximately 10.5’ along the Union Avenue NE frontage
will be required to provide a half street right of way width of 40.5’. A street modification would
need to be submitted with the site plan submittal to request this modified street standard.
a. Applicant has submitted a street modification that has address the concerns of the
transportation division and designed a cross section consistent with what the City of
Renton has outlined in the pre-application meeting.
4. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was performed by TenW on December 14th 2017. The
Transportation Impact Analysis estimates an increase of 22 am trips and 26 pm trips.
5. Street lighting is required along all new internal site streets and along the Union Avenue NE
frontage. Required streetlights shall be per City standards. A street lighting analysis and plan
shall be submitted with the construction permit.
