SUBJECT: Utility and Transportation Comments for Family First Community Center
16022 116th Avenue SE
LUA19-000212
I have reviewed the application for the Family First Community Center at 16022 116th Avenue SE
(APN 2823059034). The project proposes to construct a 27,000 square foot recreational center
with 120 surface parking stalls. The following are the civil review comments for the proposed
project:
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site is approximately 14.9 acres in size and is rectangular in shape. Cascade Elementary School
with associated parking lot resides on the west portion of existing property and the remaining
portion is open fields with lawn.
Water Water service is provided by Soos Creek Water and Sewer District.
Sewer Wastewater service is provided by the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District.
Storm There is an existing storm drainage system in 116th Avenue SE. Stormwater runoff from
the existing site consists of surface, shallow, and piped flow to the existing biofiltration
swale located on the south side of the site, which then discharges to the existing
stormwater system at the southeast corner of the site as defined by the project
Technical Information Report dated August 22, 2019 prepared by Coughlin Porter
Lundeen.
Streets 116th Avenue SE is a Minor Arterial Street with an existing right of way (ROW) width of
60 feet as measured using the King County Assessor’s Map. The pavement width is 35
feet (two 11-foot lanes with 7 foot shoulder on the west side of the roadway) with a
0.5-foot curb, 6-foot planter strip, and 5-foot sidewalk on the west side of the roadway.

CODE REQUIREMENTS
WATER
1. Please obtain a water availability certificate from Soos Creek Water and Sewer District
and provide it with the construction permit submittal.
2. Review of the water plans will be conducted by Soos Creek Water and Sewer District and
the Renton Regional Fire Authority.
3. Plans approved by Soos Creek Water and Sewer District shall be routed to the City for
final review prior to permit issuance.
SEWER
1. Please obtain a sewage availability certificate from Soos Creek Water and Sewer District
and provide it with the construction permit submittal.
2. Review of the sewage plans will be conducted by Soos Creek Water and Sewer District.
3. Plans approved by Soos Creek Water and Sewer District shall be routed to the City for
final review prior to permit issuance.
SURFACE WATER
1. A geotechnical report, dated June 8, 2018, completed by Riley Group, Inc. for the site has
been provided. Erosion control measures will need to be in place prior to starting grading
activities on the site. The report discusses the soil and groundwater characteristics of the
site including a very brief discussion regarding the infiltration potential and provide
recommendations for project design and construction. The report notes that the site is
underlain by up to 11 feet of fill material. Geotechnical recommendations presented need
to be address within the project plans.
2. A Preliminary Drainage Plan and Technical Information Report (TIR), dated August 22,
2019, was submitted by Coughlin Porter Lundeen with the Land Use Application. Based
on the City of Renton’s flow control map, the site falls within the Flow Control Duration
Standard area matching Forested Site Conditions and is within the Lower Cedar River
Drainage Basin. The development is subject to Full Drainage Review in accordance with
the 2017 Renton Surface Water Design Manual (RSWDM). All nine core requirements and
five out of the six special requirements discussed in the Technical Information Report.
a. Discharge at the Natural Location, RSWDM Core Requirement #1: The existing
project site’s surface water discharges to an existing conveyance system located
at the southeast portion of the site. The surface water is then directed to the
storm drainage system within the adjacent residential neighborhood.
b. Off-site Analysis, RSWDM Core Requirement #2: The project off-site analysis
evaluated the upstream and downstream area. The analysis identified that there
were no downstream concerns.
c. Flow Control, RSWDM Core Requirement #3: The proposed detention system
shall be designed in accordance with the RSWDM that is current at the time of
civil construction permit application. Separate structural plans will be required to
be submitted for review and approval under a separate building permit for the
detention system ensuring that system can withstand fire truck loading. Special
inspection from the building department is required. The project proposes two
Family First Community Center – LUA19-000212

proprietary detention Stormtech Chamber system (SC-310 and MC-3500) to
address the flow control requirements. The following are items that will need to
be addressed as part of the Civil Construction Permit Application:
i. In accordance with the Flow Control Duration Standard Matching
Forested Site Conditions, the developed mitigated 2-year and 10-year
peak flow rates shall match the pre-developed (forested) 2-year and 10-
year peak flow rates. Additionally, the developed mitigated flow
duration extending from 50% of the 2-year to the full 50-year flow must
match the pre-developed (forested) condition.
ii. Targeted area not able to be routed to the detention vault shall be
modeled as bypass area (i.e. unmitigated flow directed to the projects
downstream point of compliance). This includes the slope area that is
surrounding the parking lot on the east side of the development.
iii. Lid and access panels for the detention vault shall be located outside of
the ADA paths and stalls.
iv. Applicant shall provide flow control model calculations to verify that the
storage volume proposed can adequately mitigate created flows.
d. Conveyance, RSWDM Core Requirement #4: All new conveyance systems
constructed as part of the project must be sized to RSWDM standards for the total
tributary area (onsite and offsite) that the storm systems serve.
i. Pipe connects into the proposed structures shall be evaluated for
constructability as part of the Civil Construction Permit Applications.
Details of structure connections shall be provided.
e. Core Requirements #5 through #7: Core Requirements shall be fully addressed as
part of the Civil Construction Permit Application.
f. Water Quality, RSWDM Core Requirement #8: Based on the commercial use of
the project, Enhanced Basic Water Quality Treatment is required. The project
proposes to use two proprietary system to meet the water quality assessment.
One of the system will replace the existing bioretention swale providing water
quality for the existing site impervious area. The second will be downstream of
the proposed detention system for the proposed improvements.
i. Applicant shall provide model calculations showing the required volume
to be treated by the water quality facilities, per Core Requirement 8. .
g. Onsite BMPs, RSWDM Core Requirement #9: Appropriate on-site BMPs will be
required to help mitigate the new runoff created by this development. A
preliminary drainage plan, including the application of on-site BMPs, has been
included with the land use application. Infiltration has been determined to be
infeasible based on the fill material on site, therefore, the project proposes to
implement non-infiltrative bioretention, soil quality preservation, and vegetated
roof to meet this requirement. The final drainage plan and drainage report must
be submitted with the civil construction permit application.
i. Final evaluation of the application of on-site BMPs to the maximum
extent feasible will be completed during civil construction permit
review. The applicant may be required to apply additional on-site BMPs
in order to meet the minimum requirements outlined in Core
Requirement #9.
ii. Non-infiltrative bioretention (bioretention with underdrain) does not
meet the requirements of Core Requirement #9, unless approved via an
Family First Community Center – LUA19-000212

October 10, 2019
adjustment per Section 1.4 of the RSWDM that, at minimum, addresses
comparable hydraulic performance, water quality concerns, and
maintainability.
iii. Permeable pavement is deemed infeasible in the TIR, yet the design
plans call out pervious concrete parking stalls.
h. Aquifer Protection Area, RSWDM Special Requirement #6: The existing site is
outside of the City’s Aquifer Protection Area, however, the Technical
Information Report shall be revised as part of the Civil Construction Permit
Application to address this requirement.
3. The current City of Renton Surface Water Standard Plans that shall be used in all
drainage submittals are available online at the City of Renton website.
4. A Construction Stormwater General Permit from Department of Ecology will be required
since grading and clearing of the site exceeds one acre. A Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required for this site.
5. Surface water system development fee is $0.720 per square foot of new impervious
surface, but not less than $1,800.00. This is assessed based on the final approved civil
construction plans and payable prior to issuance of the construction permit.
TRANSPORTATION
1. The transportation impact fee that is current at the time of building permit application
will be levied, payable at issuance of building permit.
2. The proposed development fronts along 116th Avenue SE, a Minor Arterial street. Existing
right-of-way (ROW) width is approximately 60 feet. The City’s Transportation Division has
established a corridor plan for this section of 116th Ave SE. The corridor determined by
the City’s Transportation Division which supports recommendations in the Benson Hill
Community Plan, requires a right-of-way width of 71-ft. The paved roadway section is 44-
ft, consisting of two 11-ft travel lanes, one 12-ft center turn lane, and two 5-ft bike lanes.
A 0.5-ft vertical curb, 8-ft planter and 5-ft sidewalk are required along each side of the
roadway. Dedication of 5.5-ft of right-of-way would be required.
a. The applicant submitted a waiver request as part of the land use application to
maintain the existing roadway improvements fronting the subject property.
Community and Economic Development Staff in conjunction with Pubic Works
Transportation staff have reviewed the street waiver request. Staff
recommends approval of the waiver given that the existing street section meets
the transportation needs for connectivity, pedestrian access, and separation
between vehicular and pedestrian movements. Staff does recommend a
condition of approval to dedicate the required 5.5-feet right of way required to
complete the proposed corridor plan and upgrading all of the existing driveway
curb ramps along the west property line to meet current ADA requirements.
3. Transportation Engineering NorthWest (TENW) provided a transportation memorandum
dated February 13, 2019. The site generated traffic volumes were calculated using data
from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition,
(2017). The TIA evaluated traffic operations at seven intersections around the site. The
intersections evaluated during the PM Peak Hour were:
a. 116th Avenue SE / S Puget Drive / Royal Hills Drive SE
b. 116th Avenue SE / SE 22nd Street
c. 116th Avenue SE / SE 164th Street
Family First Community Center – LUA19-000212
Page 5 of 6
October 10, 2019
d. 116th Avenue SE / SE Petrovitsky Road
e. 116th Avenue SE / Project North Driveway (AM Peak Hour as well)
f. 116th Avenue SE / Project Center Shared Site Driveway (AM Peak Hour as well)
g. 116th Avenue SE / Project South Shared Site Driveway (AM Peak Hour as well)
The intersections were evaluated using Level of Service (LOS) methodology under existing
conditions, existing plus project conditions, and project opening year conditions. LOS
evaluation was done in accordance with the industry standard 2010 Highway Capacity
Manual (HCM). Study intersections were visited by Idax Data Solutions in May 2018 during
the AM and PM Peak periods.
Traffic counts were done between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM and between 4:00 PM and 6:00
during the weekday. From this data, existing LOS was determined for each intersection.
The report concludes that in the existing condition, each intersection operates at LOS D
or better. It was noted that the circulation of pedestrians and vehicles during the peak
arrival and dismissal periods are not operating efficiently.
Project trip generation was completed using the 10th Edition of the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip generation manual. The 10th Edition of the ITE manual
is the industry and City standard for determining trip generation. The Recreational
Community Center use (Code 495) and Clinic use (Code 630) were used for the proposed
trip generation. The Family First Community Center is projected to generate
approximately 46 AM net new AM peak hour trips, 54 PM peak hour trips, and 669 net
new daily trips. New trip distribution was projected for the AM and PM peak hours. Trips
were assigned to the existing City streets at the study intersections based on field
observations by TENW and the proposed configuration of the parking lot and site
circulation. City staff has reviewed the trip generation and trip assignment and found that
the tables in the report do not match the tables referenced in the Attachments. Please
reconcile values and provide updated impact fee calculations based on the actual trip
values.
Using the trip assignments, the LOS for the existing plus project conditions was
determined for each intersection. The report concludes that in the existing plus project
condition, the signalized, unsignalized intersection, and the minor street driveway
approaches are projected to operate at acceptable LOS.
The report identifies several recommendations related to the arrival and dismissal periods
to help with circulation including:
Restricting parent’s drop-off/pick-up operations on-site within the existing
southern parking lots,
Reconfiguring the parking lot to provide more perpendicular parking and “by-
pass” lane to accommodate peak dismissal periods, and
Consolidate the central drive providing a more elongated on-site queuing area.
City staff is in support of the recommendations identified in the Transportation Impact
Analysis.

Driveway sight distance was evaluated at the two existing site driveways (center and
south driveways) are anticipated to meet minimum AASHTO entering and stopping sight
distance requirements.
4. ADA access ramps shall be installed at all street crossings. Ramps shall be shown at each
intersection. Ramps shall be oriented to provide direct pedestrian crossings.
5. The project exceeds 5,000 square feet of new additional building, therefore, street
lighting will be required along 116th Avenue SE as per RMC 4-6-060.
6. If frontage improvements are required, undergrounding of utilities along 116th Avenue SE
will be required as per the requirements of RMC 4-6-090.
7. Paving and trench restoration within the City of Renton right of way shall comply with the
City’s Restoration and Overlay requirements. The document is available at
https://edocs.rentonwa.gov/Documents/0/edoc/1074326/Trench%20Restoration%20a
nd%20Street%20Overlay%20Requirements.pdf.
8. Parking lot construction shall be in accordance with City code 4-4-80G.Street lighting and
street trees are required to meet current city standards. Lighting plans are required to
be submitted with the land use application and will be reviewed during the construction
utility permit review.
9. Transportation Concurrency under separate cover.
