techniques that promote the use of best management practices to maintain and
improve storm water quality and manage stormwater flow
14. Zoning Development Standard Compliance: The site is classified Residential-4 (R-4) on the City’s Zoning
Map. The R-4 designation serves as a transition between rural designation zones and higher density
residential zones. It is intended as an intermediate lower density residential zone. The proposal is
compliant with the following development standards, as outlined in RMC 4-2-110.A, if all conditions of
approval are met:
Compliance R-4 Zone Develop Standards and Analysis
Density: There is no minimum density required in the R-4 zone. The maximum density
permitted is 4.0 dwelling units per net acre. Net density is calculated after the deduction
of sensitive areas, areas intended for public right-of-way, and private access easements.
Staff Comment: Following the dedication of right-of-way, the subject property contains
1.64 net acres. The proposed six (6) single-family residential lots on the subject property
would result in 3.65 dwelling units per net acre (6/1.64 =3.65) and therefore is compliant
with the density standards for the R-4 zone.
Lot Dimensions: The minimum lot size permitted in the R-4 zone is 9,000 sq. ft. A
minimum lot width of 70 feet is required (80 feet for corner lots) and a minimum lot
depth of 100 feet is required.
The following table identifies the proposed approximate dimensions for Lots 1-6
Proposed Lot Lot Size (sq. ft.) Lot Width (ft.) Lot Depth (ft.)
Lot 1 9,214 74 124.5
Lot 2 9,214 74 124.5
Lot 3 9,214 74 124.5
Lot 4* 9,214 74 124.5
Lot 5* 9,214 74 124.5
Lot 6 9,214 74 124.5
Staff Comment: The proposed lots meet dimension and size requirements. Note - the
proposed short plat is bookended on each side with tracts (stormwater and tree
retention), therefore lots 1-6 are interior lots and comply with the 70-foot minimum lot
width.
*The hammerhead turnaround between lots 4 and 5 is not required by the Renton
Regional Fire Authority as emergency only access would be provided along 108th Ave SE
(see discussion in FOF 17: Streets).
Compliance if
condition of
approval is
met
Setbacks: The required setbacks in the R-4 zone are as follows: front yard is 30 feet,
side yard is combined 20 feet with not less than 7.5 feet on either side, secondary front
yard (applies to corner lots) is 30 feet, and the rear yard is 25 feet.
Staff Comment: The preliminary plat document identifies the required setbacks for the
future homes. As shown on the preliminary plat, a building pad up to approximately
3,750 square feet could be accommodated on the lots and meet the required setbacks.

The existing home on the subject property would be located within the tree retention
tract and future ROW. Therefore staff recommends as a condition of approval, the
applicant remove the existing home prior to short plat recording.
Compliance
not yet
determined
Building Standards: The R-4 zone has a maximum building coverage of 35% and a
maximum impervious surface coverage of 50%. In the R-4 zone, a maximum building
height of 3 stories with a wall plate height of 32 feet is permitted. Roofs with a pitch
equal to or greater than 4:12 may project an additional six (6) vertical feet from the
maximum wall plate height. If the height of wall plates on a building are less than the
states maximum the roof may project higher to account for the difference, yet the
combined height of both features shall not exceed the combined maximums. Common
rooftop features, such as chimneys, may project an additional four (4) vertical feet from
the roof surface. Non-exempt vertical projections (e.g., roofs pitched less than 4:12,
decks, railings, etc.) may extend up to six (6) vertical feet above the maximum wall plate
height if the projection is stepped back one-and-a-half (1.5) horizontal feet from each
minimum building setback line for each one (1) vertical foot above the maximum wall
plate height.
Wall plates supporting a primary roof surface that has only one (1) sloping plane (e.g.,
shed roof) may exceed the stated maximum if the average of wall plate heights is equal
or less than the maximum wall plate height allowed.
Staff Comment: Building height, building coverage, and impervious surface coverage for
the new single-family residences would be verified at the time of building permit review.
Compliant if
conditions of
approval are
met
Landscaping: The City’s landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) require a 10-foot
landscape strip along all public street frontages. Additional minimum planting strip
widths between the curb and sidewalk are established according to the street
development standards of RMC 4-6-060. Street trees and, at a minimum, groundcover,
are to be located in this area when present. Spacing standards shall be as stipulated by
the Department of Community and Economic Development, provided there shall be a
minimum of one street tree planted per address. Any additional undeveloped right-of-
way areas shall be landscaped unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.
Storm drainage facilities shall provide a landscaping strip with a minimum fifteen feet
(15') of width and be located on the outside of any required fencing, unless otherwise
determined through the site plan review or subdivision review process.
Staff Comment: The preliminary landscape plan (Exhibit 12) identifies a 10-foot wide
landscaping strip along the street frontage of the lots and tracts. Proposed planting
includes trees, shrubs, and groundcover. Only groundcover is proposed along the tree
retention tract along the new public street frontage however additional trees, shrubs,
and groundcover is infilled within the tract along the 108th Ave SE frontage. Therefore
staff recommends as a condition of approval, the applicant submit a final detailed
landscape plan with the civil construction permit that supplements the proposed
groundcover planting within the street frontage landscaping strip in the tree retention
tract with trees and shrubs where practical. The revised plan shall be reviewed and
approved by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to civil construction permit
issuance.
The landscape plan provides street tree planting spaced generally between 25 to 30 feet
on center with the exception of the planter strip adjacent to the tree retention tract.
Each lot is shown with at least one (1) street tree adjacent to their respective lot. It is

likely that the proposed locations of the street trees may change in the final engineering
design due to separation standards from street lighting and/or underground utilities.
Therefore staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant submit a
revised landscape plan with the civil construction permit application that identifies the
utilities and lighting in the planter strips, provides a minimum of one (1) street tree per
lot from the City’s approved tree list, and provides the planter strip and street trees
within the area no longer needed for the hammerhead turnaround (see FOF 17: Streets).
Additionally, the revised landscape plan shall provide root barrier systems within the
planter strip to impede tree roots from buckling the abutting sidewalks. The revised
landscape plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Current Planning Project
Manager prior to civil construction permit issuance.
The proposed storm drainage vault would be located on the western edge of the subject
property abutting 106th Ave SE and the new residential access street. As the storm
drainage facility would be an underground vault, the 15-foot landscaping screen and
fence would be unnecessary and the tract should instead follow the 10-foot street
frontage landscaping strip as provided by the single-family residential lots. It is however
unclear from the grading plan and detention vault details whether any portion of the
vault is above ground, therefore staff recommends as a condition of approval, the
applicant submit a revised grading plan and revised detention vault detail that ensures
the stormwater vault in below the finished grade of the drainage tract. Should the
Current Planning Project Manager approve any portions of the vault to extend beyond
finished grade, the applicant would be required to screen those areas visible with
landscaping consistent with the 15-foot stormwater screening requirement, wall veneer
treatment, or other acceptable method as determined by the Current Planning Project
Manager. The revised grading plan and revised detention vault detail shall be reviewed
and approved by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to civil construction permit
issuance.
Compliant if
condition of
approval is
met
Tree Retention: The City’s adopted Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations (4-4-
130) require the retention of 30 percent of trees in a residential development.
Significant trees shall be retained in the following priority order:
Priority One: Landmark trees; significant trees that form a continuous canopy;
significant trees on slopes greater than twenty percent (20%); significant trees adjacent
to critical areas and their associated buffers; and significant trees over sixty feet (60') in
height or greater than eighteen inches ( 18") caliper.
Priority Two: Healthy tree groupings whose associated undergrowth can be preserved;
other significant native evergreen or deciduous trees; and other significant non- native
trees.
Priority Three: Alders and cottonwoods shall be retained when all other trees have been
evaluated for retention and are not able to be retained, unless the alders and/ or
cottonwoods are used as part of an approved enhancement project within a critical area
or its buffer.
A minimum tree density shall be maintained on each residentially zoned lot. For
detached single-family development, the minimum tree density is two (2) significant
trees for every five thousand (5,000) square feet. The tree density may consist of
existing trees, replacement trees, trees required pursuant to RMC 4-4-070F1, Street
Frontage Landscaping Required, or a combination.

Report of April 23, 2019 Page 9 of 20
SR_Madueno_Short_Plat_LUA19-000029_190226
Staff Comment: The applicant’s arborist report (Exhibit 8) and corresponding
Preliminary Tree Retention Plan (Exhibit 9) has identified the subject property contains
74 total trees, of which 51 trees were identified as significant trees to be used in the
calculation of the 30-percent minimum retention. Most of the significant trees are Black
Cottonwood and Black Locust with a small grouping of Douglas Fir and several Bitter
Cherry.
The applicant proposes to retain 22 of the 51 significant trees on the site resulting in 43-
percent retention. Most of the retained trees would be located in a tree protection tract
located on the eastern portion of the short plat abutting 108th Ave SE. Lot 1 would retain
one (1) Bitter Cherry, Lot 3 would retain three (3) Douglas Fir, and Lot 6 would retain
one (1) Bitter Cherry. Those trees proposed to be retained on individual lots are located
in the rear yard setback and outside of any area that would be within the building
footprint of future homes.
To ensure the project complies with tree protection tract standards, staff recommends
as a condition of approval, the applicant submit a revised landscape plan with the civil
construction permit application that provides split rail fencing and tree protection sign
details to surround the tree protection tract. The revised landscape plan shall be
reviewed and approved prior to permit issuance. Additionally, the applicant shall ensure
that future homeowners understand their responsibility for ownership and maintenance
of the tree protection tract and new landscaping within the stormwater tract, therefore
staff recommends the applicant submit Homeowner’s Association (HOA) documents
prior to recording the short plat document that outline the responsibility for ownership
and maintenance for maintaining the tracts, protected trees, landscaping, fencing, and
signage. The applicant shall also submit permanent and irrevocable deed restrictions on
the tracts that prohibits future development. The HOA documents and deed restrictions
shall be reviewed and approved by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to
recording with the King County Recorder’s Office with the short plat.
During construction, trees to be retained (i.e., protected trees), would be required to
comply with the tree protection measures during construction (RMC 4-4-130H.9). The
eight central components of tree protection include defining and protecting the drip line,
erecting and maintaining a temporary six-foot-high chain link construction fence with
placards around the tree to be retained, protecting the tree from grade changes,
keeping the area clear of impervious surface material, restricting grading within the drip
line, providing 3” of bark mulch within the required fencing, retaining a certified arborist
to ensure trees are protected from development activities, and alternate
protection/safeguards as necessary.
Offsite trees along the northern border may be impacted as the new public street for the
short plat will be located within their driplines. Additionally, the proposed buildable
footprint area of Lot 6 would encroach into the drip lines of three (3) trees located in the
tree protection tract. The arborist report has recommended that monitoring occur for
construction activities within the Limits of Disturbance (LOD) areas delineated around
each retained tree. Therefore staff recommends as a condition of approval the applicant
comply with recommendations of the Arborist Report prepared by Earth Dance Design,
dated January 11, 2019 as it relates to construction activities near retained trees and
onsite monitoring by the applicant’s arborist. The applicant shall submit a revised tree
protection plan with the civil construction permit application that includes specifications
for tree protection measures, limitations on construction activities near retained trees,
and timelines of when the arborist will be onsite. The arborist shall provide a

memorandum with the revised tree protection plan stating that he or she has reviewed
the revised tree protection plan and it is consistent with the recommendation of the
arborist report. The revised tree protection plan and arborist memorandum shall be
reviewed and approved by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to permit
issuance.
Parking: Parking regulations require that a minimum of two parking spaces be provided
for each detached dwelling.
Driveway cuts are required to be a minimum of 5 feet from property lines and new
driveways may be a maximum of 16 feet in width at the property line. Maximum
driveway slopes shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%); provided, that driveways
exceeding eight percent (8%) shall provide slotted drains at the lower end with positive
drainage discharge to restrict runoff from entering the garage/residence or crossing any
public sidewalk.
Staff Comment: The Preliminary Composite Utility Plan (Exhibit 5) details driveway cuts
10-feet from side property lines. Driveways are shown 16-feet in width for each lot with
slopes less than 8-percent. It is assumed that each residence will contain a garage that
will accommodate at least two (2) parking spaces, however the width of each driveway
as shown is able to provide parking for at least two (2) vehicles.
Compliance

demonstrated
Fences and Retaining Walls: In any residential district, the maximum height of any
fence, hedge or retaining wall shall be seventy two inches (72"). Except in the front yard
and side yard along a street setback where the fence shall not exceed forty eight inches
(48") in height.
There shall be a minimum three-foot (3') landscaped setback at the base of retaining
walls abutting public rights-of-way.
Staff Comment: The Preliminary Grading and Drainage Plan (Exhibit 10) does not
identify the need for any retaining walls for construction of the short plat. The
Preliminary Landscape Plan (Exhibit 12) does not identify fences for the new lots.
Compliance with maximum heights for future fences on individual lots would be verified
at the time of final inspection for each single-family building permit.
15. Design Standards: Residential Design and Open Space Standards (RMC 4-2-115) are applicable in the R-4,
R-6, R-8 zone. The Standards implement policies established in the Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan. Compliance with Site Design Standards must be demonstrated prior to approval of
the subdivision. Compliance with Residential Design Standards would be verified prior to issuance of the
building permit for the new single-family homes. The proposal is consistent with the following design
standards, unless noted otherwise:

Wellhead Protection Areas:
Staff Comment: The City’s COR mapping database identifies the property to be within
a Wellhead Protect Area Zone 1. Areas within the Zone 1 designation are lands situated
between a well or well field owned or operated by the City and the 365-day
groundwater travel time contour. No hazardous material storage, handling, treating,
use, or production is anticipated with the proposed short plat or future single-family
residential lots.
Stormwater infiltration is limited in its allowed use in a Wellhead Protection Zone 1. The
applicant has proposed a storm drainage vault for flow control and treatment, basic
dispersion for roof drainage, and piped conveyance for connection to the City’s system.
The applicant has indicated that approximately 2,460 cubic yards of cut and 2,370 cubic
yards of fill would be needed to achieve the grades shown on the Preliminary Grading
and Drainage Plan. Should more than 50 cubic yard of offsite fill need to be brought
onto the site, RMC 4-4-060N.4.c requires a fill source statement for areas located in
Wellhead Protection Zone 1 unless the fill is obtained from a Washington State
Department of Transportation approved source. Compliance with this code section
would occur with review of the civil construction permit.
17. Compliance with Subdivision Regulations: RMC 4-7 Provides review criteria for the subdivisions. The
proposal is consistent with the following subdivision regulations if all conditions of approval are met:
Compliance Subdivision Regulations and Analysis
Access: Each lot must have access to a public street or road. Access may be by a shared
driveway per the requirements of RMC 4-6-060 Street Standards.

The maximum width of single loaded garage driveways shall not exceed nine feet (9')
and double loaded garage driveways shall not exceed sixteen feet (16').
Staff Comment: As shown on the Preliminary Plat (Exhibit 3) each lot would have direct
access to the new public half street along the northern edge of the site between 106th
Ave SE and 108th Ave SE. General access to the new street would be from 106th Ave NE
with emergency only access provided at 108th Ave NE. Driveways are shown with 16-
foot widths and would be further reviewed for compliance with each single-family
building permit application.
N/A
Blocks: Blocks shall be deep enough to allow two (2) tiers of lots.
Staff Comment: Not applicable. The subdivision does not contain the shape or area to
provide two tiers of lots.
Lots: The size, shape, orientation, and arrangement of the proposed lots comply with
the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations and the Development Standards of the
R-4 zone and allow for reasonable infill of developable land.
All of the proposed lots shall meet the requirements for minimum lot size, depth, and
width.
Width between side lot lines at their foremost points (i.e., the points where the side lot
lines intersect with the street right-of-way line) shall not be less than eighty percent
(80%) of the required lot width except in the cases of (1) pipestem lots (or flag lot),
which shall have a minimum width of twenty feet (20') and (2) lots on a street curve or
the turning circle of cul-de-sac (radial lots), which shall be a minimum of thirty five feet
(35').
No residentially zoned lot shall have a depth-to-width ratio greater than four-to-one
(4:1).
Pipestem lots may be permitted for new plats to achieve the minimum density within
the Zoning Code when there is no other feasible alternative to achieving the minimum
density.
Staff Comment: The proposed lots are rectangular in shape and with front yards
oriented to the new public street. Lot size and dimensional requirements of the R-4 zone
are shown on the Preliminary Plat Plan (Exhibit 3). The width between the side lot lines
where they meet the new residential half-street is greater than 80-percent of the
required lot width.
Compliant if
conditions of
approval are
met
Streets: The proposed street system shall extend and create connections between
existing streets per the Street Standards outlined in RMC 4-6-060 Street Standards.
Staff Comment: As shown on the Preliminary Composite Utility Plan (Exhibit 5), the
applicant would provide a new public residential access half-street between 106th Ave
SE and 108th Ave SE to serve the lots within the short plat. The half-street improvements
include a total width of 43-feet and consist of two 10-foot travel lanes, one 6-foot
parking lane with pedestrian bulb-outs, two 0.5 curbs, one 8-foot planter, one 5-foot
sidewalk, 3-feet of clear space along the north curb. Upon such time the northern
properties redevelop, those future applicants would be responsible for completing the
remaining street improvements consisting of an 8-foot wide planter strip and 5-foot
wide sidewalk.

To maximize the available on-street parking for residents and their guests, staff
recommends as a condition of approval the applicant submit a revised utility plan with
the civil construction permit that locates any needed fire hydrants along the new public
half-street on the north side of the street or other location as approved by the Current
Planning Project Manager. The revised utility plan shall be reviewed and approved by
the Current Planning Project Manager prior to permit issuance.
The applicant has provided a hammerhead turnaround between lots 4 and 5 and
emergency vehicle only access onto 108th Ave SE. The City limits end at the eastern
property line of the subject site and City of Kent continues along the 108th Ave SE
frontage. The emergency vehicle access only onto 108th Ave SE is due to the City of Kent
notifying the applicant and the City that full access onto 108th Ave SE would not be
permitted (Exhibit 13). Alternatively, the applicant would provide emergency only
vehicle access and extend the sidewalk, planter, and curb bulb to 108th Ave SE. This
alignment would also provide the area needed for potential full vehicle access at such
time agreeable by the City of Kent. In order to ensure adequate emergency vehicle
access to the subject property, the applicant shall submit a revised utility plan with
associated details and specifications for the emergency vehicle access with the civil
construction permit application. The revised utility plan and details shall be reviewed
and approved by the Renton Regional Fire Authority and Current Planning Project
Manager prior to permit issuance.
As the project would provide emergency vehicle access onto 108th Ave SE provide and
full access onto 106th Ave SE with 20-feet of unobstructed width along the new public
half-street, the hammerhead turnaround is not needed. Removing the hammerhead
turnaround would provide unobstructed pedestrian connectivity along the southern
portion of the site and provide additional on-street parking capacity. Therefore staff
recommends as a condition of approval, the applicant submit a revised utility plan and
landscape plan with the civil construction permit that removes the hammerhead
turnaround and replaces with the matching 5-foot sidewalk, 8-foot planter, 0.5-foot
curb, and 6-foot parking lane that is provided along the southern portion of the half-
street section. The revised utility plan and landscape plan shall be reviewed and
approved by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to permit issuance.
The subject property abuts 106th Ave SE, a residential access street, along the western
property line. The street contains 60-feet of width however the frontage along the
subject property is not currently improved. The applicant has shown on the Preliminary
Composite Utility Plan (Exhibit 5) the 0.5-foot curb, 8-foot planter, and 5-foot sidewalk
along the property’s frontage however the accessible ramps are not located in the
correct position in the intersection and an accessible route and transition is not shown
offsite to the north and south as required by American Disability Act (ADA) and RCW
35.38.075. Therefore staff recommends as a condition of approval, the applicant submit
a revised utility plan with the civil construction permit application that reflects the ADA
accessible route and ramp location comments provided in the Development Engineering
section of the Advisory Notes (Exhibit 16). The revised utility plan shall be reviewed and
approved by the civil plan reviewer prior to permit issuance.
The subject property abuts 108th Ave SE that is within the City of Kent and also a State
Route. The applicant will need to contact the City of Kent and WSDOT to determine
frontage improvement requirements along 108th Ave SE.

Relationship to Existing Uses: The proposed project is compatible with existing
surrounding uses.
Staff Comment: The project site is surrounded by single-family residential uses and
religious institution uses that are also within the Residential Low Density and R-4 zoning
designation. The proposal meets the maximum density regulations and lots range are
all approximately 9,200 square feet in size. The proposed stormwater facility within the
storm drain tract is an underground vault. The tract’s landscaping over the top of the
vault would provide an amenity to the neighborhood and an attractive buffer. A
Stormwater detention pond within the tract would not provide the same level of
aesthetic benefits as the proposed vault. Therefore, staff recommends as a condition of
approval that any proposal to convert the stormwater vault within the tract to a
stormwater detention pond be considered a Major Plat Amendment subject to the
requirements outlined under RMC 4-7-080M.2.
18. Availability and Impact on Public Services:
Compliance Availability and Impact on Public Services Analysis
Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicates that sufficient resources exist
to furnish services to the proposed development; subject to the condition that the
applicant provides Code required improvements and fees including but not limited to
secondary access for emergency vehicles only at the intersection of the short plat’s new
public street and 108th Ave SE. The 2019 Fire Impact Fees are $829.77 per new single-
family residence. The fee in effect at the time of building permit application is applicable
to this project and is payable at the time of building permit issuance.
Schools: It is anticipated that the Kent School District can accommodate any additional
students generated by this proposal at the following schools: Springbrook Elementary,
Meeker Middle School, and Kentridge High School. Meeker students from the proposed
development would be bussed while Springbrook and Kentridge students would walk to
school. The proposed project includes the installation of frontage improvements along
the 106th Ave SE and 108th Ave NE and a new street internal to the short plat, including
sidewalks.
Students would walk to Kentridge High School along the existing sidewalk on 108th Ave
SE south to South 208th St and then turn east and walk along the sidewalk on South 208th
St to the school located at the intersection of 124th Ave SE. A sidewalk is available the
entire route.
Students would walk to the Meeker Middle School bus stop along the existing sidewalk
on 108th Ave SE and turn west on SE 200th St. A paved and marked shoulder is located on
the north side of SE 200th St to the bus stop located at the intersection of 104th Ave PL
SE.
Students would walk to Springbrook Elementary School along the existing sidewalk on
108th Ave SE and turn west on SE 200th St. A paved and marked shoulder is located on the
north side of SE 200th St to just west of the intersection of 102nd Pl SE where a sidewalk
is located until 100th Ave SE where a marked crosswalk provides access to the school
property.

Storm Water: An adequate drainage system shall be provided for the proper drainage of
all surface water.
Staff Comment: The applicant submitted a preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR)
(Exhibit 14) and Preliminary Grading and Drainage plan (Exhibit 10) with the land use
application. The site is within the Black River Drainage Basin and City’s Flow Control
Duration Standard area matching Forested Site Conditions. The applicant has proposed
to install a combined storm drainage detention and water quality vault on the western
portion of the site to detain and treat flows from pollution generating surfaces. Catch
basins and pipe conveyances are shown on the grading and drainage plan picking up
stormwater on the new public street and carrying flows to the detention vault. The
conveyance system would be designed to convey a 100-year peak flow. The vault would
then discharge flows to the City’s system in 106th Ave SE at a rate prescribed in the 2017
Renton Stormwater Design Manual (RSWDM) matching forested site conditions. Roof
runoff would be conveyed via splash block basic dispersion over a vegetated flow path in
each of the property’s side and front yards. A final TIR and drainage plan meeting the
requirements of the 2017 RSWDM would be required to be submitted with the civil
construction permit. See Advisory Notes (Exhibit 16) for requirements and additional
information related to stormwater improvements and items needed for the final TIR.
Water: Water service is provided by Soos Creek Water and Sewer District. A water
availability certificate from the district would be required with the civil construction
Permit application.
Sanitary Sewer: Sewer service is provided by Soos Creek Water and Sewer District. A
sewer availability certificate from the district would be required with the civil
construction Permit application.

SUBJECT: Madueno Short Plat
LUA19-000029; Response to Public Comment Letter
Dear Dale and Joan Smith:
The City has received your comment letter regarding the proposed Madueno Short Plat application. The
applicant has proposed to subdivide the existing property located at 19805 108th Ave SE into six (6) single-family
residential lots with a drainage tract and tree protection tract. The numbered responses below correspond to
the numbered items from your letter dated March 5, 2019.
1. South Property Line
a. The fence line discrepancies with the property survey markers are a civil issue between the
property owners and not a matter the City will take action on.
b. The new home lots are not required to have fences. Fence details are not included with the
short plat application and their proposed location is not shown. The drainage tract is proposed
to be an underground vault and not a surface pond. The City is reviewing whether a fence would
be required for the drainage tract as part of the application. Typically underground stormwater
facilities are covered with landscaping instead of a fence.
2. West Property Line
a. The ditch will be piped and along the subject property’s frontage on 106th Ave SE and connect to
the existing piped stormwater facility along the west side of 106th Ave SE.
b. Yes, the ditch will become a curb and gutter with catch basins to capture stormwater and
convey to the piped facility. A catch basin will be installed on the southern edge of the subject
property’s frontage to convey flows from the ditch.
c. The City cannot require the applicant to install stormwater improvements upstream from the
property.

d. No, the applicant would not install frontage improvements along the west side of 106th Ave SE.
They will be required to install curb, gutter, sidewalk, and planter strip along the east side of
106th Ave SE abutting their property.
I hope these responses provide clarification on the proposed short plat application. Please feel free to contact

Dear Mr. Herrera:
This letter is in response to the Notice of Application for the Short Plat referenced

comments and requests.
Request for me to become Party of Interest
As owner of the parcel shown above with my name, let it be known I am an

Concerns I would like to see addressed in writing and at public meeting(s):
I. South property line
A. When the project property was surveyed a few months ago, a property
corner marker was placed for the four corners of the project parcel. The
southwest corner marker is placed a couple of feet inside our existing
yard fence. The southeast corner marker is similarly placed inside the
fence of the east adjacent property on the south property line. Thus, it
appears that the north fences of all seven existing parcels on the south
property line are north of the surveyed line. How will this situation affect
the project and our existing yards and fences?
B. Will the new home lots and storm water retention pond area have fences
on their south boundaries? If so, what type of fences and what impact
will they have on existing fences?

PLANNING DIVISION
DocuSign Envelope ID: 8C9D14F9-3BCB-40E0-ACD3-AF3EA0B94A28
II. West property line
A. There is currently an open storm water conveyance ditch at the west
side of the project running along the east side of 106th Ave SE. This
drainage ditch is open to the south along the west-most parcel, then
covered from SE 199th St and the next two parcels south. To the north,
the drainage is covered at the church parcel, then open for the next two
parcels before going underground. Will this ditch be covered along the
project parcel?
B. If the ditch is covered along the project parcel, how will it interface with
the ditch along other parcels?
1. If the ditch is covered along the project parcel, would it be
appropriate to cover additional sections of the ditch at this time?
2. Will the project include parking, curbs, or sidewalks along the west
side?
III. Reduction in Privacy If the single-family homes are created at more than
one level, the privacy of all properties on the north side of 199th Street will
be violated.
IV. Rental vs. Owner-Occupied If properties developed are owner-occupied
the crime level can be minimized.
V. Reduction in rats, racoons, coyotes, etc. The area to be developed with six
single-family homes will bring about a reduction in the number of animals
and associated diseases, etc.
As other neighbors review the application discuss it amongst themselves, it should
be expected that additional questions and concerns will arise.
Thank you for your efforts regarding our questions and concerns.
Sincerely,
Keith H. Morse

Hi Matt,
Emergency access only to 108th AVE SE is something we can consider. The access will need a concrete
driveway approach per Kent standard detail 6-43. The access will also need gated with a locking system
approved by the fire department, such as Click-to-Enter.

Hello Jamie,
I have been working with the applicants in the email string below on a short plat application here in
Renton. I see that their proposed design does not meet the City of Kent’s access standards. Would Kent
be amenable to limit the access to 108th Ave SE to emergency vehicle only? The access would mimic a
driveway standard, similar to what is existing, instead of an intersection and would be gated off with the
entry locked. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Matt,
Please see response from City of Kent regarding connection to and improvements along 108th Avenue
SE. In light of this, I will need to provide a turnaround near the east end of the project.
Per City of Kent’s Arterial Design Detail 6-3(see attached), the right-of-way along 108th will need an
additional 3-foot dedication on our part along with the planter strip and sidewalk relocated per the
detail.
One question – Since the road will not be allowed to connect to 108th Avenue, can we make our road
private and leave it sloped to one side as currently proposed? This will help save cost in additional catch-
basins and pipe.
Thanks,
Lou Larsen

Hi Lou,
The proposed access to 108th Ave SE does not meet the required intersection spacing of 2,600 feet
separation for a principal arterial. Additionally, the site has adequate access via 106th. Therefore the
vehicular access to 108th will be denied.
108th Ave SE is classified as Principal Arterial with 5 lanes and shall conform to Kent Standard Detail 6-
3. Required frontage improvements include 5’ planter strip, 7’ sidewalk, and right of way dedication to
meet the required ROW width.
Thanks,

Ozzie, Jamie,
We are working on a preliminary Plat in Renton that butts up against Kent jurisdiction at 108th Avenue
SE (Benson Hwy) just north of SE 200th Street (see attached PDF.)
The city of Renton has directed us throughout this early design process to provide a public road
connection between 106th and 108th which we are showing on the attached plat map.
The city of Renton has requested verification of any roadway / right-of-way improvements or
dedications that might be required by the City of Kent along our frontage to 108th. I don’t imagine that
there are any as Benson was built-out to its current ultimate design some years ago, but I could be
wrong.
Give me a call if you have any questions. If not, an email back would work best for the city of Renton
documenting the City of Kent’s response.
Thanks.

Sewer Sewer service is provided by Soos Creek Water and Sewer District.
Storm The site contains an existing single family home and a large amount of vegetation. The existing
home sits along the 108th Avenue SE frontage. There is an existing stormwater conveyance ditch
along the 106th Avenue SE frontage that flows north. Flows from this conveyance ditch are
intercepted by a 12” City of Renton storm drain (COR Facility ID 118219) that continues north
along the frontage of 19714 106th Avenue SE. Flows along the 108th Avenue SE frontage appear
to be intercepted by a storm drainage system. The City of Renton does not have mapping
information for this storm system as it is not located within the City of Renton limits. The
applicant is encouraged to contact the City of Kent for record drawings of the storm drainage
system in 108th Avenue SE. There is no existing stormwater conveyance system on the project
site. The existing topography generally slopes gently from south to north except at the eastern
