APPROVAL [-] DENIAL
EVALUATION FORM & DECISION
PROJECT NAME: Talbot Road Townhomes
PROJECT NUMBER: LUA08-017, SA -A, ECF, MOD
PROJECT MANAGER: Vanessa Dolbee, Current Planning Manager
APPLICANT: Yan Lifshaz, Libros Construction Inc., P.O. Box 53046, Bellevue, WA
98015
ZONING DESIGNATION: Residential Multi -Family (RM-F)
PROJECT LOCATION: 4701 Talbot Road South
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a site plan modification to amend the
parking stall design and the building elevations as shown in Exhibit 1 and 2.
Project Description:
The applicant received apprcval of the original project on June 29, 2008. The original site plan
approval expired June 29, 2010, however the applicant submitted a building permit to the City
prior to the expiration of the site plan. As of today, the applicant has continued to make
progress on the building permit which has allowed the project to continue despite the projects
expiration. This site plan modification is in no way extending the original site plan approval. If
for any reason the building permit expires without project completion, the site plan approval
will no longer be valid.
Upon commencement of foundation construction, it was brought to the developer's attention,
that a structural support post for the townhomes was sited to be in the same location as the
identified parking stalls. In addition, the original architect for the townhomes failed to design
the homes to work with the site's grades. As such, the applicant has requested a site plan
modification to amend the original parking design on the site and amend the townhome
elevations.
The original site plan included 45 full size parking spaces for the overall development of which
24 were located in parking garages and the remainder were designed to be tandem stalls
located on the garage drive apron. The revised plan adds a two car garage to each unit,
increasing the overall site parking count. The modification would amend the original proposal

Report of May 2, 2014 Page 2 of 3
to provide for an additional 7 parking stalls and change 6 stalls from standard to compact. The
minimum parking stalls required for the proposal pursuant to the vested 2008 code was 45
parking stalls. The 2008 development standards do not contain a maximum parking stall
requirement, as such; the proposed 52 stalls would meet the vested codes minimum parking
standards. However, two of the proposed parallel "tandem" parking spaces located in front of
two townhome units in the western portion of the site, encroach within the setback, which is
not permitted. Considering the subject proposal exceeds the minimum parking stall count
these two stalls could be removed from the site plan resulting in a total parking stall count of
50. Staff recommends as a condition of approval, that the two "tandem" parallel parking space
be removed from the revised site plan_
The elevations of the buildings have been amended to accommodate additional parking and the
site's grades. In addition, the applicant has indicated that the design has also been amended to
change the architectural character to a more contemporary style. The new building elevations
do not contain as many architectural details as included in the original approved application. As
such, staff recommends a condition of approval the townhome elevations be enhanced with
additional architectural details including such design alternatives as hip roofs or changes in roof
pitch, shutters (as originally proposed), window trim detailing, or other elements that provide
visual interest to the townhomes facades.
The above site plan modification request would not involve more than a 10 percent increase in
area or scale of the development or change the boundaries of the original approved plan as the
project would not extend beyond the original site of 41,361 SF. The proposed modifications
would not have a greater impact on the environment and/or public facilities than the original
approved plan if all conditions of approval are met.

RMC 4-9-200H.2. addresses the modifications to Site Plans.

Revision request narrative
Mrs. Dolby
On behalf Orion Investments LLC I would like to request a revision to the site plan for building
permits for the Talbot Road Townhomes.
The reason for the revision is that after the preconstruction meeting with the foundation
contractor we discovered that one of the posts is located in the middle of the parking space.
It was missed by both the original architect on the project and the City of Renton as well as
myself That would eliminate 6 parking spaces which is turn would make it impossible to meet
the minimum parking requirement for the townhomes plat.
In order to resolve the issue we slightly modified site plan by introducing the mix of full size as
well as compact parking spaces.
This revision will allow to increase the total number of parking spaces as well as to reduce the
area of the impervious surface. Original site plan included full size parking spaces.
The revised plan includes 6Z full size spaces plus _ compact spaces.
Additionally the elimination of the posts as well as the utilities engineering plan (TED-40-3565)
triggered the revision of the elevations. We took this as the opportunity to make them more
contemporary which is a lot more consistent with current trends in Renton architecture than the
original 2007 design.

Yan Lifshaz,
