I-Kuan-Tao Cultural Center Addition
711 Monroe Ave NE Renton
10-25-2018
Description of the Project
The main goal of the project is to change existing use of single family to cultural center with addition of
upper floor.
All walls of existing main floor and roof will be demolished, while the main floor framing and lower floor
structure will stay. New main floor and upper floor will be added on top of existing building footprint. The
total floor area will be 3,486 sf.
The facility operates on every Saturdays for Chinese class and religious seminar. Chinese class is in the
morning from 9:45 to noon. Religious seminar is in the afternoon from 1:00 to 3:00.
Currently, there are 14 students from 9 family attending Chinese class. After class is dismissed, it's shortly
followed by adults’ religious seminar. The seminar regularly has approximately 8-12 people attending. It's
anticipated to slightly increase, but should be not exceeding 30 people.
Sunday through Friday, the facility is rarely visited due to members' work or school. 2-3 people are
stationed here for administrative reason.
11 parking stalls will be provided on site, and there is an agreement for shared parking on the adjacent
church lot. New curb cut is proposed and existing curb cut will be restored.
Total estimated construction cost will be $300,000.
This is an upper floor addition project, so estimated fill and excavation is very minimum, which mostly
occurs at new driveway construction.
No significant trees will be removed.
No environmental critical area on and near the site.
