SUBJECT: "On Hold" Notice
S. Singh Short Plat, LUA17-000803, ECF, SHPL-A
Dear Mr. Kitzes,
The Planning Division of the City of Renton accepted the above master application for review on
December 6, 2017. During our review, staff has determined that additional information is
necessary in order to proceed further based on a recent Community Economic Development
Department meeting held on December 3, 2018.
The project was most recently placed on hold on December 6, 2018 and given a response date of
March 6, 2019 so that we may continue the review of the above subject application. This office
has reviewed your request (dated February 27, 2019) to extend your response date of the
requested information for ninety (90) days. For that reason, the following information will need
to be submitted before May 27, 2019 so that we may continue the review of the above subject
application:
The applicant shall complete a formal assessment report on Coal Mine Hazards in the area
by a qualified professional pursuant to RMC 4-8-120.D.7 Definitions G: Geotechnical Report,
Coal Mine – Medium and Coal Mine – High. The short plat map must identify and delineate
the coal mine hazard areas on the project site.
According to the Geotechnical Engineering Report, prepared by The Riley Group, Inc., dated
March 14, 2017, the western half of the property meets the classification of a High Coal
Mine Hazard and the Preliminary Technical Information Report, prepared by Core Design,
dated August 21, 2017 (revised date August 22, 2018) is proposing to construct and large
detention/water quality vault near the northwest corner of the site. The applicant shall
submit a revised Geotechnical Report identifying the structural aspects of the proposed
stormwater vault in a known critical area and provide for any necessary mitigation.
According to the Technical Memorandum, prepared by Otak Inc., dated Octo ber 31, 2018,
there is likely a regulated stream and wetland on the property to the west (WSDOT’s
property). The construction of the plat would contribute to hydrology changes downstream.
The applicant shall provide an updated Critical Areas Report and/or an update Wetland and
Stream Reconnaissance Report to identify changes to the downstream system as a result of
the development. Water typing downstream would classify stream buffers and provide for
adequate critical area buffer widths from regulated streams and wetlands to the proposed
project improvements, such as the proposed stormwater vault.
If the results of any of the above additional studies impact the project design, a new plan sets
shall be provided for any sheets that are affected by the re -design, including but not limited
to the short plat plan, grading plan, drainage plan, etc.
At this time, your project has been placed “on hold” pending receipt of the requested information.
Please contact me at (425) 430-7289 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Clark H. Close
