SUBJECT: "On Hold" Notice
Cedar Falls Transmission Pole Replacement 3, LUA19-000008, CAE, SME
Dear Ms. Patterson:
The Planning Division of the City of Renton accepted the above master application for review on January 23, 2019. During our review, staff has determined that additional information
is necessary in order to proceed further. The applicant shall submit evidence that the proposal is in compliance with the following code requirement:
Compensatory Storage Required: Development proposals and other alterations shall not reduce the effective base flood storage volume of the floodplain. If grading or other activity will
reduce the effective storage volume, compensatory storage shall be created on the site or off the site if legal arrangements can be made to assure that the effective compensatory storage
volume will be preserved over time. Compensatory storage shall be configured so as not to trap or strand salmonids after flood waters recede and may be configured to provide salmonid
habitat or high flow refuge whenever suitable site conditions exist and the configuration does not adversely affect bank stability or existing habitat. Effective base flood storage volume
shall be based on the elevations shown in the flood hazard areas map, identified in subsection E3 of this Section or as determined through a study where no base flood evaluation information
exists.
At this time, your project has been placed “on hold” pending the submittal of the above information. The maximum time for resubmittal shall be within ninety (90) days of this written
notice. Please contact me at (425) 430-7246 or JTaylor@rentonwa.gov should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Taylor, Assistant Planner
