PROJECT NARRATIVE
Seminoff Sunset Blvd Variance at 8xx SW 4th PL (214370-1845)
1. Project name, size and location of site: The Seminoff Sunset Blvd Variance requests street setbacks on a 3,338.47
square foot lot, located at south of 824 SW 4th PL. The site is also identified by King County Department
Assessment’s parcel identification number 214370-1845.
2. Land use permits required for proposed project: The only known land use permit required is a variance.
3. Zoning designation of the site and adjacent properties: The site, and adjacent properties to the north, east, and
west, are zoned R8. The property to the south is zoned RM-F.
4. Current use of the site and any existing improvements: The site is currently vacant.
5. Special site features (i.e. wetlands, water bodies, steep slopes): The site has an average slope of 8.8%.
6. Statement addressing soil type and drainage conditions: The predominant soil type is Renton Formation Bedrock.
The bedrock deposits encountered by the geotechnical engineer are not likely a suitable infiltration receptor due
to the high silt content and high density. This information is based on the report by Associated Earth Sciences,
dated July 31, 2018.
7. Proposed use of the property and scope of the proposed development: The proposed use of the property is a
single family residence. The scope of the proposal is a variance for reduced setbacks, to construct one house.
8. For plats indicate the proposed number, net density and range of sizes (net lot area) of the new lots: No plat or
additional lots are proposed.
9. Access is currently proposed from SW 4th Place, which is on the north side of the lot.
10. Proposed off-site improvements (i.e. installation of sidewalks, fire hydrants, sewer main, etc.): An application for
a Fee in Lieu request for frontage improvements was submitted to the City of Renton on December 4, 2018. Other
off-site improvements include a driveway to the existing asphalt on SW 4th Place, a walkway from the asphalt in
SW 4th PL to the front door, connection of a water line to the house, connection of a side sewer to the house, and
connection of the storm water improvements to serve the lot. A right of way dedication to SW Sunset Blvd would
occur prior to issuance of a building permit. The current application is only a request for a zoning variance.
11. Total estimated construction cost and estimated fair market value of the proposed project: The estimated
construction cost and fair market value is approximately $500,000.
12. Estimated quantities and type of materials involved if any fill or excavation is proposed: 200 cubic yard of
existing native soil are estimated to be excavated for the foundation. No fill is currently anticipated.
13. Number, type and size of any trees to be removed: Five deciduous trees (12”, 14”, 10”, 7” and 22” DBH) are
anticipated to be removed.
14. Explanation of any land to be dedicated to the City: No land is anticipated to be dedicated to the City.
15. Any proposed job shacks, sales trailers, and/or model homes: No job shack, sales trailer, or model is anticipated.
