Renton Rowing Float Replacement
August 15, 2019
OWNER:CITY OF RENTON
1055 S Grady Way
Renton, WA 98057
PROJECT LOCATION:1060 Nishiwaki Lane
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:The applicant is requesting a Shoreline Exemption for the replacement of two existing
floats (Floats A and B) at the Cedar River Boathouse. This permit was originally issued
under LUA16-000448 on 7/11/2016, however that approval has since expired. This
applicant is now reapplying for Shoreline Exemption approval. The project site is
located within the Urban Center (UC) zone and is within the High Intensity Shoreline
Designation of Lake Washington, Reach I. The proposal would replace two floats with
wood decks with new floats and a connecting walkway (Floats C, D, and E) that meet
current standards for materials, floatation, and decking. The existing two floats are old,
deteriorated and at the end of their lifespan. Float A (1,170 square feet) is tied to the
north side of the existing pier and is not in use. Float B (1,300 square feet) is located
on the south side of the existing pier and is in use for boating activities. The
replacement is proposed to occur in two phases: Phase I would involve the removal of
Float A from the water at a nearby boat ramp to be demolished and disposed of
properly, Float C (975 square feet) would be installed next to the existing boat house to
be used as the primary float for boathouse activities. Float B would be repositioned to
the east of new Float C and connected to Float C via a connecting walkway (Float D,
which totals 190 square feet). Phase II includes the removal of Float B for proper
disposal and the replacement with new Float E (1,180 square feet) and Float F (120
square feet). Float E would located in the same location as previous Float B and
connect to Float C via the connecting walkway (Float D). Float F would be attached to
Float C to provide tie up for boats as needed.
