SUBJECT: Sumpter Short Plat / LUA19-000091 SHPL-A, MOD
Dear Ms. Sundet:
Thank you for your comments regarding the Sumpter Short Plat. You have been added as a Party of Record
for this project and your comments have been added to the official file for consideration by the decision
maker.
In your letter you cited concerns regarding adding additional traffic onto the existing intersection at 156th
Avenue SE and SE 142nd Place. The City shares those concerns and for that reason, the proposed
subdivision would not have direct access to that intersection. The only means of access for the new homes
would be via the proposed extension of 158th Ave SE.
You also noted concerns regarding safety for children in the neighborhood who would be walking to the
school bus stop. As a part of our review, we will take into consideration safe walking conditions for kids
walking to school. The proposed short plat would include sidewalks along the public street frontage, which
would separate pedestrians from vehicular traffic and increase safety for pedestrians around the
development.
In addition, you expressed concerns regarding whether the City of Renton had jurisdiction to process a
subdivision on the project site as you believed that it was located in unincorporated King County. I have
attached a map, which shows that the very south property line of the Sumpter property is also the City of
Renton City limits, which means that the City does have jurisdiction regarding permitting the proposed
subdivision.
Please contact me at (425) 430-6598 or jding@rentonwa.gov if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jill Ding
Senior Planner
