SUBJECT: Utility and Transportation Comments for RTC Building A TIG Addition
3000 NE 4th Street
LUA19-000115
I have reviewed the application for the RTC Building A TIG Addition and have the following
comments:
WATER
1. The site is located in the City of Renton Water service area.
2. The conceptual plans and the project narrative for the building alteration (600 sq ft) and
small addition (295 sq ft) do not show any changes for water. The addition will utilize and
connect to the existing utilities in Building A.
3. If the installation of a landscape irrigation meter is required for the project, then a double
check valve assembly (DCVA) will be required.
4. Renton Fire Authority (RFA) does not anticipate a change of the Fire Flow requirement
with the proposed building addition/changes.
5. The submitted project description does not mention the need for any new and/or
resized domestic water meter. If the project elements include a new and/or resized
domestic water meter, System development charge (SDC) fee for water will be
applicable at the time of issuance of the associated permit. The fee information for all
City permits that will be issued in 2019 and 2020 can be obtained from the City Fee
Schedule available in the City of Renton website.
SEWER
1. The site is located in the City of Renton Sewer service area.
2. The conceptual plans and the project narrative for the building alteration (600 sq ft) and
small addition (295 sq ft) do not show any changes for sewer. The addition will utilize
and connect to the existing utilities in Building A.

3. If any floor drains are provided for the project, they should connect with the sewer
system.
4. The submitted document does not mention the need for any new and/or resized
domestic water meter. If any resized/ new domestic water meter will be required for
the project, then System development charge (SDC) fee for wastewater will be
required. SDC fee for wastewater is based on the size of the new domestic water to
serve the project. The rate that is current at the time of issuance of the utility
construction permit will be applicable on the project. The fee information for City
permits that will be issued in 2019 and 2020 are available from the City of Renton Fee
Schedule .
Any resized/new domestic water meter will also trigger the payment of East Renton
Interceptor Sewer Special Assessment District (SAD) Fee. The fee will be applicable at
the time of issuance of the associated permit.
SURFACE WATER
1. The new and/or replaced impervious surface due to the project is less than 2,000 square
feet. The proposed land disturbance is less than 7,000 square feet. The project is not
proposing to modify or construct 12 inch drainage pipe, and is not located adjacent to any
critical area. Therefore, a drainage review is not required.
2. Erosion control measures will need to be in place prior to the proposed work consisting
of building addition (295 sq ft) and building alteration (600 sq ft) on the site. The
information regarding the erosion control measures should be included with the plans
provide with the associated permit. Splash block or equivalent options should be provide
for any proposed roof downspouts.
3. The 2019 Surface water system development charge (SDC) fee is $0.72 per square foot of
new impervious surface, but not less than $1,800.00. SDC fee is subject to change and
the fee that is current at the time of issuance of the construction permit shall be
applicable. This is payable prior to issuance of the associated permit.
TRANSPORTATION
1. Payment of the transportation impact fee is applicable on the buildings at the time of
building permit and is based on the type of use of the building. The transportation
impact fee information for City permits that will be issued in 2019 are available from the
City of Renton Fee Schedule available online in the City of Renton website. The fee is
subject to change and the transportation impact fee that is current at the time of
building permit application will be applicable.

2. The applicant has submitted an exemption request based on financial hardship for the
construction of frontage improvements on NE 4th Street and Monroe Ave NE. Staff can
support the exemption request.
3. The applicant has submitted a street modification request to keep the existing ROW width
on Monroe Ave NE. Staff can support the modification request since it will provide
consistency along the corridor.
4. 4 feet ROW dedication is applicable on the NE 4th Street frontage.
5. The project information includes that no new trips will be generated by the proposed
building addition and alteration. Therefore a traffic study was not submitted.

easements (if any are existing).
