SUBJECT: Expiration Dates for Wilson Park 1 & 2 Preliminary Plats (LUA 09-140, PP, and
LUA 12-013, PP, PUD)
Dear Mr. Wilson,
You have requested a letter from the City indicating the period of validity for the Wilson Park 1
Preliminary Plat (LUA09-140) and the Wilson Park 2 Preliminary Plat and Planned Urban
Development (PUD) (LUA12-013, PP, PUD).
Wilson Park 1. Renton Municipal Code allows for a period of validity of 5 years for Preliminary
Plats. However, the Washington State Legislature approved an extension to the period of
validity to seven (7) years for plats approved on or after January 1, 2008 and before January 1,
2015. Wilson Park 1 Preliminary Plat was approved by the Hearing Examiner on August 16, 2010
and because of the extension provided by the Washington State Legislature, was valid for a total
of seven (7) years, until August 16, 2017. In addition, the applicant requested a one-time one-
year extension to the preliminary plat, as provided for in Renton Municipal Code. This extension
for Wilson Park 1 was granted on July 26, 2015. Therefore, Wilson Park 1 Preliminary Plat is
valid for a period of eight (8) years and will expire on August 16, 2018.
Wilson Park 2. Renton Municipal Code allows for a period of validity of 5 years for Preliminary
Plats, and allows for applications submitted with the preliminary plat to expire at the same time
as the preliminary plat. In addition, the Washington State Legislature approved an extension to
the period of validity to seven (7) years for plats approved on or after January 1, 2008 and
before January 1, 2015. Because the Wilson Park 2 Preliminary Plat and PUD was approved by
the Hearing Examiner on July 5, 2012, both approvals are valid for a total of seven (7) years, until
July 5, 2019, The Final Plat and Final PUD must be submitted prior to the expiration of the
preliminary approvals. Please also note that the Renton Municipal Code allows for the
applicant to request an additional one- year extension if requested at least 30 days prior to
expiration and provided the applicant demonstrates that he/she has attempted in good faith to
submit the final plat within the approved time period.
If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me at 425-430-7286 or

CIIT' OF RENTON

BEFORE THE HEARING EXAMINER FOR THE CITY OF RENTON
RE: Wilson Park II }
FINAL DECISION
Preliminary Plat and Planned Urban }
Development )
LUA12-013, ECF, PP, PPUD )
SUMMARY
The Applicants propose a preliminary plat to subdivide a 2.15 acre parcel into ten single-family
residential lots and one tract for open space. A planned urban development ("PUD") is proposed in
order to modify minimum lot sizes and other development standards. The preliminary plat and PUD
are approved subject to conditions.
TESTIMONY
Jennifer Henning, Renton Planning Manager, stated Wilson Park lI is a preliminary plat and
planned urban development located to the east of Talbot Rd S and north of S 55th Street. It is an
existing 2.15 acre site with split -zoning. A portion of the site is zoned R-14 which has a maximum of
14 dwelling units per acre, and another portion of the site is zoned R-1 which allows one dwelling
unit per acre. The site has an Urban Separator overlay present on an eastern portion of the site in
conjunction with steep slopes. The Applicants are proposing to create a subdivision of detached
single family homes with 10 Iots. The lots would range in size from 5,560 to 6,778 sq ft, and the site
would also include a tract set aside for open space and critical areas (Tract A) on the eastern portion
of the site. Tract A would be 19,164 sq ft. which is roughly 20 percent of the site (correction to the
Staff Report which gives the coverage as 50 percent). The city zoning map notes the split zoning of
the site (a squiggly line marks the split area). A map of the site shows the protected slopes in bright
orange and 39 or lower percent slopes in yellow. The site is shown with a dashed dark line and is

roughly square-shaped. South 55 Street is often called the "Snake Road" and is fairly steep.
Upon questioning from the Hearing Examiner, Ms. Henning noted that a geo-tech report was done in
2004 by Mr. Carl Zing. Noting plate 2 of the 2004 geo-tech report, Ms. Henning stated that the west
side of the site was analyzed in that report with a proposal for 4 lots. Exhibit 18 is a 2012 geo-tech
report which supplements the 2004 report. Staff does not feel that the geo-tech reports addressing
different lot proposals affect the overall conclusions. There are no streams or coal mine hazards that
affect the site. There are some steep slopes on the extreme northwest corner of the site and off-site to
the west. The presence of the slopes resulted in the city creating the Urban Separator overlay
designation. She noted that, in most areas, an Urban Separator will follow the property lines.
However, this site's separator (the Talbot Urban Separator) follows topography lines rather than
parcel and zoning lines. Recently, the Talbot Urban Separator language has been clarified to say that
half of the area in the Urban Separator has to be used as open space (instead of half the whole parcel
as is the case for other separators). She concluded that the developable part of the site is a moderate
slope.
In regards to averaging the density, Ms. Hennings stated that if Staff looked at the R-14 zone on its
own (with the road taken out) about 1 acre would be left. This would allow for 14 units (which could
be duplexes, triplexes, etc.). In the R-1 portion of the site, there could still only be 1 dwelling unit.
Thus, if the density was calculated in the original way, there could be up to 15 lots. Staff suggested
using the PUD process to look at applying different standards to the entire parcel. Staff decided to
average the density across the site (without exceeding the density of one part of the site vs. the other)
using an administrative code interpretation.
Ms. Hennings testified that Exhibit 2 shows the proposal, including the 10 lots, Tract A, and a central
road (Road A). Staff recommends that a covenant be included in the approval that restricts the
Applicants to only building detached single-family homes. In Exhibit 2, the R-14 zone is the light
brown color while R-1 zone is the green color. Lot 5, 8, and 9 would be split -zoned parcels. Staff is
recommending that the plat subscribe to the R-8 zoning standards which are a residential single
family (RSF) designation. Regardless, the plat meets policies of multiple land -use possibilities being
considered. The R-14 designation is in the Residential Single Family (RSF) while R-1 is in
Residential Low Density (RLD) standard. R-8 is within the RSF designation.
The site is served by the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District. The certificate of water availability
became available on June 12'', 2012. The site will also use facilities being built for the Wilson Park I
site which has already been approved. The Wilson Park I site will provide 26 ft. of paving for road,
2-5ft. sidewalks, and a landscape strip. Parking will be allowed on the east side of the street. Exhibit
11 depicts the landscape plan with the road in the center. The landscape is shown in green and the
road in brown. A walking path, which is a public benefit, will be provided around lot 6. It is a hard -
surface path that will lead into the planned gazebo area_ There are street trees being proposed along
with trees in the open fence area. A split -rail fence is proposed for the back of the lots. Staff is
concerned that the split -rail fence will not provide enough security for future residents and will result
in residents building additional fences. Staff is working with the Applicants to find a better solution

for the fencing problem. Staff also asks that the walking path be moved out of the boundaries of Lot
10. There is no design yet roc the gazebo, but it is contained in a 350 sq ft area. The Applicants is
possibly going to expand this recreation area to the Wilson Park I recreation area to the north. Staff
believes that circulation beyond the walking path is necessary for safety and convenience. The
nearest bus stop is 700 ft. away. Staff recommends a condition that there be a walking path along S
55" St. for kids to safely reach the bus stop.
Ms. Hennings stated that the project went through a SEPA review and has a number of conditions
that must be met as a result of that review. Staff provided a table within the Staff Report that
describes what the standards for the two residential zones are, and the required modifications
necessary for the proposal to meet the R-8 standards. The lots meet the minimum size standards of
the R-8 zone and all meet the width requirements except for Lot 1. The R-8 standard currently allows
15ft from the garage face to the back sidewalk; however, Staff is recommending 18ft from the back of
the garage to the back of the sidewalk for a parking apron area. This is especially necessary because
there is limited guest parking. All the setbacks for the rear -yard, design standards, and maximum
building coverage work best with the R-8 standard. Staff believes the R-8 standard applied creates a
superior plat because of the more uniform lots and homes, more open space and recreation areas. The
plan also protects the steep slopes more because it protects a greater area than what would be required
under other zone areas. Exhibit 9 shows the steep slope area with the plan and demonstrates that
approximately a third more area is protected under the R-8 zone plan.
Ms. Hennings explained that the City of Renton does not require recreational areas on site because it
prefers applicants to pay into the City's park mitigation fund. The proposal, under R-8 zone
standards, will require a footpath to the school bus -stop and the recreational walking path. The
Applicants are paying the full park impact fee, traffic fee, fire fee, and school impact fee. Staff
suggested additional common amenities such as barbecues or fireplaces. There are currently 82 trees
on the site, and 21 of the trees will be removed because they are in the section where the public streets
will be built (Exhibit 9). There are three trees in the critical areas and buffers which don't count.
This leaves 58 trees to consider for zoning standards. Zoning requirements state that 10 trees on-site
will have to be retained. The Applicants are proposing to retain the necessary 10 trees and will be
adding at least 2 trees per lot. Additional landscape enhancements will be added along the back of
the lots. Staff is also asking additional trees be planted along the south side of Lot I because of car
traffic along that area. A variety of tree types and plant forms will be utilized.
Ms. Hennings testified that the homes will be subject to the City's residential design standards. No
floor plans or elevations are available at this time. No alley is needed because of the limited space.
Staff is recommending an 8 -ft wide landscape strip be included along the south side of Lot 1. The
Applicants would also be required to provide curb, gutter and sidewalks and a landscape strip along
the extreme eastside of the site which has frontage on S 55h
St. The Applicants are not opposed to
providing these additional facilities. No lighting plan was provided as part of the proposal. The
lighting plan would be needed later in the process. Ms. Hennings noted that the code does not require
lighting along the walking path at night.

In regard to the emergency vehicle service, Staff is concerned that if Wilson Park I is not constructed
there will be no place for the vehicles to turn -around. Staff stated that if Wilson Park I is not
constructed first (or at all) an emergency turnaround will need to be provided. A stormwater vault
was proposed as part of Wilson Park I (Exhibit 13, shown in blue) which would be sufficient to
handle any ran -off. Additionally, the Applicants are proposing a covenant to limit the amount of
pervious surface on each lot. The City provides fire and sewer service.
In regard to the plat application, Ms. Hennings noted that Staff believes all of the lots are
appropriately sized with suitable orientations except for Lot 1. Staff asks that Lot 1's width be
changed because it is a corner lot. All access topography seemed to be fitting and no disruption to
other properties was evident. Staff asks that Tract A be placed in a native -growth protection area
easement. Staff is recommending that the preliminary plat and PUD be approved, subject to the 18
conditions presented in the Staff Report.
Jiro Hanson, 17446 Ballard Cove's Lane, stated that the Applicants agree the R-8 standards should
apply. The Applicants have no objection to the 18fI garage -sidewalk standard change. The PUD
process requires the Applicants to provide the open -space and recreation areas that would not be
required with the normal R-1 zone. In areas where there is no critical slope, the Applicants are
clearing invasive species and enhancing the landscape rather than just leaving it as over -growth. The
Applicants believe this type of development is a better transition from the R-14 zone to the R-8 zone
to the north and to the R-4 zones to the east and south. Rather than having townhouses and duplexes,
the Applicants feel 10 single-family homes are more appropriate. The previous proposals (from
2004) had higher density levels (but fewer lots).
Upon questioning by the Hearing Examiner, Mr. Hanson noted that the Applicants had not discussed
lighting the pedestrian pathway. He noted that it is a wildlife corridor, and the path is not intended
for night use.
Darrell Offe, Offe Engineers, stated that the 2004 geo-tech report was done for a different property
owner. The previous owner only looked at the west side of the property because he believed the
entire east side was sensitive areas. The current Applicants have added the east side to the site plans.
The Applicants have worked with Staff to establish the 25 percent Urban Separator line as the
designation between the R-1 and the R-14. Soos Creek is the purveyor of the water and Renton is the
purveyor of the sewer. The 2005 drainage manual (used for Wilson Park i and 2) requires that the
detention facility be sized to accommodate 85 percent pervious surface per lot. The code allows the
Applicants to restrict themselves to a lower impervious level and lessen the treatment it has to
provide. The stormwater facility planned for Wilson Park I will include Wilson Park 11 along with
the restrictive covenants. The Applicants ask that under Condition 8 (which asks for a walking path
to the nearest bus stop on
55th
Street), the wording be changed to just say the nearest bus stop. This
change is in hope that a new bus stop closer to the site can be created.
Ms. Henning's noted that the City has no objections to this change of Condition 8.

Jim Hanson noted that the timing for the PUD expiration is different for the plat expiration. Plats are
valid for 9 years while PUDs are only valid for 5 years. The Applicants ask that the expiration of the
PUD be increased to 9 years.
Jennifer Hennings noted, if the plat was developed under the R-8 standards, the Applicants could
build up to 13 lots. Instead, the Applicants are proposing ken lots. If the R-1 and R-14 density
standards were used, up to 15 lots could be built with a density of 9.16 per acre. Under the current
proposal, there are 6.4 units per acre.
EXHIBITS
The June 12, 2012 Staff Report in addition to Exhibits 1-21 identified in pages 2-3 of the Staff
Report were admitted into the record at the June 12, 2012 hearing.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Procedural:
1. Applicants. Robert and Doravin Wilson.
2. Heariny,. The Examiner held a hearing on the subject application on June 12, 2012 at
2:00 pm in the City of Renton Council Chambers.
Substantive:
3. Project Description. The Applicants request preliminary plat approval to subdivide a 2.15
acre parcel into ten lots for single-family homes at a proposed density of 6.4 dwelling units per acre.
An open space tract is included in the subdivision. The preliminary application is accompanied by a
PUD application requesting deviations to R-1 and R-14 zoning standards, as outlined in Table A of
the Staff Report, adopted and incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full. All lots will have
access to a public street, Road A. The project is divided into two zoning designations: R-14 and R-1.
The R-1 Zone comprises 38,326 square feet (including the steep slope area), and the R-14 portion of
the site is 55,474 square feet. Proposed density averages 6.4 dwelling units per acre across the site,
with nine lots proposed in the R-14 area and one lot proposed within the R-1. Access would be
provided from South 55`
x'
Street via a new street constructed as part of the approved Wilson Park I
plat. The site contains 9,783 square feet of slopes with greater than 40% grade. A small
hydrologically isolated, unregulated wetland is located on the western portion of the site. An
underground stormwater vault was previously approved for Wilson Park I to be within the roadway
on the subject site. The vault is being revised to accommodate the additional stormwater generated
by the proposal. A hard -surface walking path leading into a planned gazebo area will be provided as

well as will a soft surface, 3 -foot wide walking path around Lot 6-10. There are street trees being
proposed along with trees in the open fence area. A split -rail fence is proposed for the back of the
lots.
A portion of the site is subject to the Talbot Urban Separator Overlay Regulations. That portion of
the site zoned R -I is considered to be within the Urban Separator. Per RMC 4-3-110(E)(2)(a)(ii),
50% of the area within the Urban Separator must be dedicated as irrevocable open space. The
Applicants propose to retain 19,164 square feet, or 50% of the site as open space within Tract A. The
application includes a proposal for a planned unit development in order to modify minimum lot size
and development standards for both the R-1 and R-14 designations. Proposed lots would range in
size from 5,560 square feet to 6,778 square feet.
4. Adequacy of Infrastructure/Public Services. The project will be served by adequate
infrastructure and public services as follows:
A. Water and Sewer Service. Water and sanitary sewer service for the development would be
provided by the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District. A water availability certificate was
issued by the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District on June 12, 2012, according to Staff
testimony. Based on the submitted Conceptual Utilities Plan (Exhibit 13), there is an
existing sewer main located in 55th Avenue South. The Applicants have proposed to
connect to this existing main and extend an 8 -inch sanitary sewer line to provide sewer to
the development. This plan sheet also identifies an 8 -inch water line extension from 55th
Avenue South through the subject plat and to the Wilson Park I plat located to the north.
With receipt of the water availability certificate, the development would provide sufficient
service to the lots_
B. Fire Protection. Fire protection would be provided by the City of Renton Fire Department.
C. Drainage. In conjunction with the City's storrnwater regulations, the proposal mitigates
all significant drainage impacts. New impervious surfaces would result in surface water
runoff increases. The Applicants submitted a Technical Information Report ("Drainage
Report") and Addendum with the project application (Exhibit 21). The original
stormwater system for Wilson Park 1 is located within the street that would serve both
Wilson Park I and II. This system was sized to accommodate Wilson Park I lots and the
new streets including the access street located within this project, Wilson Park 11. The

facility for the two projects and demonstrates that the facility as revised for Wilson Park 11
is sufficient to accommodate both Wilson Park I and Wilson Park II. The City of
Renton's 2409 Drainage Manual requires Best Management Practices (BMP's) for new
developments. One BMP's is to restrict impervious areas on future lots to Delp reduce
runoff, mitigate for development, and minimize the treatment system needed for the
project. This is known as a "Restrictive Covenant" provision and was utilized as part of a
preliminary sizing of the future system for both Wilson Park I and II. The Applicants
intend to utilize the Restrictive Covenant provision and limit impervious surface on each
of the new lots in both Wilson Park I and II to 3,300 square feet per lot. By limiting the
impervious area for homes, patios, driveways and walkways, the proposed stormwater
vault will be of an appropriate size to accommodate both developments. The Applicants
have also intended to develop both plats at the same time.
D. Parks/Open Space. The project provides for adequate parks and open space. The
proposed development is located on a 2.15 acre site. The eastern portion of the site is
located in a steep slope critical area. The site contains geotechnical hazards in the form of
slopes greater than 40% covering 38,326 sq. ft. within the Talbot Urban Separator. Both
the subject plat and Wilson Park I are required to set aside 50% of the area of the site
located within the Talbot Urban Separator as a non -revocable open space tract.
Additionally, the City critical areas regulations provide for protection of steep slopes.
RMC 4-9-150(E) requires PUDs to provide large concentrated areas of open space,
equivalent to 10% of the site's gross area. The Staff Report notes that the proposed
development increases these protections by protecting the steep slope within a tract that
would also serve as the common open space and recreation area. The project proposes to
set aside 19,164 square feet, or 50% of the Talbot Urban Separator area in Open Space
Tract A. The site is 93,801 sq. ft. and the provided open space tract is 19,164 sq.ft,
comprising approximately 20% of the site, and exceeding the open space standards by
9,784 sq. ft. A 510 lineal foot (1,530 sq. ft.) looped trail provided on the flat area of Tract
A would separate five of the new lots from the steep slope area. The open space tract
would also connect to a comparable open space tract on Wilson Park I that was set aside to
address requirements of the Urban Separator Overlay Regulations (RMC4-3-11OE, 2.a.ii).
The Applicants have proposed to provide an approximately 350 sq. ft. common park that
includes a concrete path, pergola/gazebo and Landscaping. The conditions of approval
require the proposed development provide 500 sq. ft. of common space or recreation area
to meet the 50 sq. ft. required by PUD regulations for each of the ten lots. The proposed
park is located along the perimeters of proposed Lots 6-10 and connects to the walking
path through the remainder of Tract A. The conditions of approval require that the section

on the south side of Lot 10 be revised to meander and not abut the edge of the split rail
fence. As conditioned, the overall location and design of the park, open space and trail
will create quality open space and recreation areas for the development.
Private open space will be provided on each lot through the yard setbacks and limitations
in pervious surface. Staff further recommends that a minimum setback of 18 feet be
required from the face of the garage to the back of the sidewalk to allow an appropriate
area for parking. This increased setback would also increase the yard space for each lot.
The overall passive and active recreation opportunities proposed for the subject
development are beyond the standard code requirements. The proposed open space and
recreation on the site provide the opportunity for both passive and active recreation. The
park area provides for both passive and active recreation by offering both a gazebo/pergola
and hard and soft surface trails. The varieties of recreation opportunities proposed
throughout the development and in conjunction with Wilson Park I create a mix of
choices, appealing to a large spectrum of people.
The split -rail fence or pergola/gazebo designs are not reflected on the Landscape Plan or
the Plat Plan. The conditions of approval require the Applicants provide a detail of the
proposed pergola/gazebo and fence design and location as a part of the final detailed
landscape plan. These details shall be submitted and approved by the Current Planning
Project Manager prior to final PUD approval.
E. Pedestrian Circulation. The proposed preliminary plat provides for an appropriate
pedestrian circulation system. In addition to the proposed soft surface pedestrian path,
discussed above, the Applicants have proposed sidewalks along both sides of Road A
consistent with the residential character of the development. As discussed below,
pedestrian linkage to the nearest school bus stop is also required. This network of
pathways and sidewalks provides for a pedestrian network that ties the residential
development to recreational areas and schools. It is unclear from the record whether there
are any commercial areas or public transit stops within walking distance; nonetheless the
linkage to adjoining sidewalks provides all the linkage that can reasonably be required of
the Applicants.
As conditioned, pedestrian safety is assured through adequate separation of pathways from
motor vehicles and adequate lighting. The conditions of approval require pedestrian
separation along South 55th Street with an 8 -foot planter strip. Another 8 -foot planter
strip is required along the "inside" of Road A. Furthermore, the pedestrian looped trail

would provide another means for pedestrian movement throughout the development
maintaining sufficient separation from vehicles.
A lighting plan was not included in the Applicants' submittal packet; therefore, it is not
clear how the proposed pedestrian pathways would be illuminated at night. Although, the
soft surface trail should not be lit at night as this may cause additional impacts to open
space area, the remainder of the hard surfaced pedestrian pathway and recreation areas
should be lit. As a condition of approval, the Applicants shall submit a lighting plan for
review and approval by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to utility construction.
The lighting plan shall contain pedestrian lighting in addition to building and landscaping
lighting, if proposed.
Comments received from surrounding property owners concern the ability of children to
safely access a school bus stop (Exhibit 14). The Applicants have observed that presently
school buses travel cast on South 55th Street in the morning, stopping in South 55th Street
to pick-up students. The buses then travel west in the afternoon, stopping in South 55th to
drop-off students. While it was originally anticipated that this practice would continue
with the project, and that children would wait together for pick-up, an inquiry to the
Renton School District (RSD) revealed that these are actually Kent School District buses,
which do not serve the subject plat. RSD does not operate on South 55th Street, and
would require that students walk approximately 700 feet to the west to be picked up at the
corner of South 55th Street and Talbot Road South. In order to provide an appropriate
safe route to schools, the conditions of approval request a walking path within the
improved right-of-way, with a minimum 5 -foot asphalt path from the entrance to the plat
to the nearest school bus stop that serves the subdivision. This should be installed at the
time that street and utility improvements are being installed.
F. Interior Vehicle Circulation. In addition to sidewalks and the proposed pedestrian path,
the proposed preliminary plat also provides for appropriate vehicle circulation system.
The road system connects with the Wilson Park I Plat located immediately to the north.
The road was originally approved as part of Wilson Park I and has not yet been
constructed. Wilson Park I is dependent upon the construction of this road, as is Wilson
Park 11. The internal street is designed to accommodate emergency vehicle access and the
traffic generated by the project, provided that the street connects through Wilson Park 1.
In the event that Wilson Park I is not constructed concurrent or prior to Wilson Park II, an
emergency turnaround would need to be provided within the subject plat. The conditions
of approval require that if Wilson Park I1 moves forward prior to Wilson Park 1, the public
street be constructed with an approved emergency turnaround.

Access to the property should not adversely affect adjoining properties and there are no
difficult turning patterns. The site access street intersects South 55th Street on the outside
of a horizontal curve on South 55th Street to optimize sight distance in both the east and
west direction for vehicles entering and exiting the site. Previously, the site distance on
South 55th Street was evaluated as part of Wilson Park L It was determined then that the
City of Renton intersection and stopping sight distance requirements in both the east and
west directions would be met.
As shown in Ex. 2, the internal road does not traverse any steep gradients and there is no
driveway access to any busy streets as there is no driveway access to South 55h
Street.
G. Off -Site Traffic Improvements. Frontage improvements are required along South 55th
Street. The property has frontage in two locations, where the proposed internal Road A
intersects South 55th Street, and where a portion of Tract A fronts on South 55th Street.
In both cases, the Applicants are required to construct curb, gutter, 5 -foot wide sidewalks,
and an 8 -foot wide planting strip. The Applicants' proposal indicates a 5 -foot wide
sidewalk along South 55th Street on the south side of Lot 1. No planting strip is proposed
within the South 55th Street right-of-way. No street improvements are proposed within
the right-of-way for South 55th Street for the portion where Tract A fronts on the street
Exhibit 2, 11). The conditions of approval require revision of the construction
engineering plans, and final detailed landscape plan to show the required street
improvements and landscaping prior to the Final PUD and Final Plat approval process.
The Applicants submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis Report (Exhibit 12) prepared by
TraffEx. The report indicates that the proposal would utilize the same access to South
55th Street as the approved Wilson Park I Plat. The site access street intersects South 55th
Street on the outside of a horizontal curve on South 55th Street to optimize sight distance
in both the east and west direction for vehicles entering and exiting the site. The report
also indicates that the horizon year for the study is 2014, as this is the year construction of
both plats is anticipated. The study determined the Level -of -Service (LOS) with the
project will be LOS B for future 2014 conditions. This LOS satisfies the City's LOS
standard and there is no evidence in the record that is contrary to the conclusions of the
traffic report on LOS impacts. The project design will ensure intersection and stopping
sight distance requirements in both the cast and west directions will be met. The report
has been presumably approved by staff, since it has gone through staff review and Staff
have recommended all the conditions of approval they deemed necessary for adequate
traffic mitigation in the environmental report.

The Renton School District (RSD) does not operate on South 55th Street. The closest
school bus stop is approximately 700 feet to the west at the corner of South 55th Street
and Talbot Road South. In order to provide an appropriate safe route to schools, the
conditions of approval require a walking path within the improved right-of-way, with a
minimum 5 -foot asphalt path to the nearest school bus stop as determined safe by City
staff. This should be installed concurrent with street and utility improvements.
5. Adverse Impacts. Since the project provides for adequate infrastructure and public services,
the only remaining impacts to be considered are to critical areas. All impacts to critical areas have
been thoroughly assessed and completely mitigated, as identified in the Environmental Review
Report, Ex. 4-6, adopted by this reference as if set forth in full. The mitigation measures
recommended by Staff in the Environmental Report are adopted as conditions of approval via
adoption of the mitigation measures of the determination of nonsignificance. Adoption of Ex. 6
encompasses both the Findings of Fact and the Conclusions of Law of Staff.
A. Trees. Loss of trees is an impact that Renton regulations require mitigated. As conditioned,
the project will retain trees as required by City standards, although it must be noted that the
Staff Report erroneously only requires protection of trees with of a 6 -inch caliper or greater
whereas it appears that City standards require trees of a 2 -inch caliper or greater to be
protected. The Staff Report notes that the site contains a total of 82 trees of 6 -inch caliper or
larger, 21 are within the proposed public right-of-way, and 3 are located in critical areas and
their buffers resulting in 58 protected trees on site (Exhibit 9, 10). Of these, 21 trees are
within the R-1 zone, and 37 trees within the R-14 zoned portions of the property. The R-1
zone requires 30 percent tree retention of the protected trees on site, while the R-14 requires
10 percent tree retention. At a 30 percent retention rate in the R-1 zone, 6 trees of greater than
6 -inch caliper would be required to be retained. At 10 percent retention rate in the R-14 zone,
4 trees of greater than 6 -inch would need to be retained. This is a total of 10 trees of greater
than 6 -inch caliper required to be retained. The Applicants have identified 10 trees that would
be retained thus meeting the requirement for trees of greater than 6 -inch caliper. In addition,
the Applicants propose to plant 40 new trees on site, which includes street trees within the
right-of-way and ornamental trees within Tract `A', the common open space and Native
Growth Protection Area Easement. As noted in the conclusions of law, Renton tree retention
standards require the protection of 2 -inch caliper trees, not 6 -inch trees as suggested in the
Staff' Report. The conditions of approval will require that the tree retention requirements be
applied to trees that are of 2 -inch caliper or greater.
B. Compatibility with Adjoining Uses. Perimeter screening will ensure compatibility and
minimize aesthetic impacts. Proposed landscaping on the south boundary of Lot 10 would
provide some screening of when viewed from South 55th Street. Proposed plantings of the
southeast corner of Lot 1 would provide some incremental screening for Lot I when viewed
from 55th Avenue South. Additional planting within the right-of-way is required as a

condition of approval along 55th Avenue South. This requires dedication of additional right-
of-way along the south boundary of the plat, between the new Road A west to the southwest
corner of the site. The PUD revision authorizing R-8 design standards also contributes to
compatibility, as many adjoining uses are also zoned R-8.
All other adverse impacts discernible from the record are also fully mitigated.
6. Superiority in Design. The proposed PUD design is superior to that which would be allowed
under applicable subdivision regulations. This finding is based upon Staff's assessment and
conclusions. Unfortunately, the record does not directly provide much information on how staff came
to its conclusions on superiority in design, but given the Staff's expertise and the lack of any evidence
to the contrary the staff conclusions are adopted.
At page 11, the Staff Report notes several reasons why the design is superior, but does not link these
reasons to any specific design features. First, the Staff Report notes that proposed plat layout
provides for the protection of the steep slope area to the east. Given that the PUD proposes that 50%
of the open space of the urban separator designation be set aside for open space and that the same
would be required for a subdivision anyway, it is difficult to understand from the record how the PUD
protection of the steep slopes is superior to that which would already be required for a subdivision.
The Staff Report also notes that the PUD exceeds open space requirements by placing the steep
slopes within the open space tract. While the placement of the steep slopes within the open space
tract is technically not required, it is difficult to conceive of any set of circumstances for this
subdivision where the developer would have any incentive to reduce his developable space by placing
the open space away from the steep slopes. The PUD design does provide for a trail along the steep
slope that provides separation from five lots beyond that required by the City's critical areas
ordinance. Given the amount of open space required already, the trail separation does not appear to
be a major improvement over what would be required of a subdivision.
Second, the Staff Report notes that as conditioned the PUD would provide for recreational amenities
beyond code requirements. Elsewhere, the Staff Report notes that the open space will include a
pergola, landscaping, two picnic tables and a soft surface trail system. These are presumably all
amenities that exceed code standards and thus support a finding of superior design.
Third, the Staff Report notes that the plat layout increases the quality of the internal circulation
system throughout the development. This in part appears to be accomplished by an internal pathway
that connects the sidewalks of the subdivision. It is not otherwise clear from the record how the
quality of internal circulation has been enhanced by the proposed PUD.
Fourth, the Staff Report notes that the proposed subdivision is a significant improvement over a
design that would meet both the R-1 and R-14 standards. The Staff Report notes that proposed
design can provide for the aforementioned amenities because of the development standard
modifications recommended by Staff in the Staff Report Table A. The Staff Report does not identify
how the modifications result in superior design. A primary design enhancement from the PUD

modifications appears to be conformance to the residential design standards of the R-8 zone as
conditioned, which apparently provides for stricter design guidelines in some respects than that
required of the R-1 or R-14 zone, promotes compatibility of design between the interior R-1 and R-14
districts (although there is only one lot in the R-1 zone) and also provides for greater compatibility in
design with adjoining R-8 uses. The requested lot size and setback modifications allow for a
clustered R-8 development that provides increased protection of critical areas creating an appearance
of openness. The reduced density applied from the R-8 zone further contributes to this openness. In
order to maintain sufficient separation between buildings, the conditions of approval require the
Applicants to meet the R-8 side yard setbacks, as such all structures will maintain a minimum of 10
feet of separation. This spacing allows for emergency access and sufficient fire separation.
Aesthetics and parking is further enhanced by a condition requiring garage setbacks that exceed those
of the R-8 district by three feet.
7. Public Benefit. The proposal provides several public benefits as detailed in Table B of the
Staff Report, adopted and incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full with the caveat that, as
previously discussed, the PUD does not appear to provide for more open space than would otherwise
already be required for a standard subdivision subject to the Urban Separator designation.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Procedural:
1. Authority. RMC 4-7-020(C) and 4-7-050(D)(5) provide that the Hearing Examiner shall hold
a hearing and issue a final decision on preliminary plat applications. RMC 4-9-150(F)(8) authorizes
the Examiner to conduct hearings and make final decisions on planned urban development
applications.
Substantive:
2. tonin Comprehensive Plan ,Desi agntions. The project is divided into two zoning
designations: R-14 and R-1. The comprehensive plan map land use designation for the R-14 Zone is
Residential Single Family (RSF) while the R-1 Zone is Residential Low Density (RLD).
3. Review Criteria. The Renton Municipal Code does not clearly identify the criteria the
Examiner must apply in assessing a subdivision or a PUD. Chapter 4-7 RMC governs the criteria for
subdivision review and RMC 4-9-150 governs PUD criteria. Without any more specific code
guidance, the Examiner concludes that he must find that all applicable criteria in Chapter 4-7 and
RMC 4-9-150 must be satisfied for preliminary plat and PUD approval. Applicable standards are
quoted below in italics and applied through corresponding conclusions of law.
RMC 4-7-080(B): A subdivision shall be consistent with the fbllowing principles ofacceptability:
1. Legal Lots: Create legal building sites which comply with all provisions of the City Zoning Code.

2_ Access: Establish access to a public road far each segregated parcel.
3. Physical Characteristics_ Have suitable physical characteristics. A proposed plat may be denied
because offlood, inundation, or wetland Conditions. Construction ofprotective improvements may be
required as a Condition of approval, and such improvements .shall be noted on thefinal plat.
4. Drainage: Make adequate provision for drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water
supplies and sanitary wastes.
4. As modified by the PUD regulations, the lots will comply with all requirements of the Zoning
Code. As noted in the project description, Finding of Fact No. 3, and as depicted in Ex. 2, all lots
have access to a public street, Road A. The project is not located within a floodplain and there are no
wetlands or streams impacted. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 4, the project makes adequate
provision for drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water supplies and sanitary wastes.
RMC 4-7-080(1)(1): ...The Hearing Examiner shall assure conformance with the general purposes
of the Comprehensive Plan and adopted standards...
5. The proposed preliminary plat is consistent with the Renton Comprehensive Plan as outlined
in Section 6(a) of the Staff Report, which is incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full.
RMC 4-7-120(A): No plan for the replatting, subdivision, or dedication of any areas shall be
approved by the Fearing Examiner unless the streets shown therein are connected by surfaced road
or street (according to City specifications) to an existing street or highway.
6. The internal circulation system of the subdivision connects to South 55`h
Street, an existing
public street.
RMC 4-7-120(B): The location of all streets shall conform to any adopted plans for streets in the
City.
7. The Staff Report and administrative record do not identify any applicable street plan or grid
system that would compel the connection of the interior streets to any other roads beyond South 55"'
Street. The aerial photo on page 2 of the Staff Report shows that there are no other roads in
proximity to the project that could be feasibly extended to the project. Given the extreme slopes that
adjoin the project it is highly unlikely that any other roads could ever connect to the project from the
east. The project is separated from a cul de sac to the northwest by residential development. The
project is slated to be connected to Wilson Park I's internal road to the north of the subject property.
RMC 4-7-120(C): If a subdivision is located in the area of an officially designed trail, provisions
shall be made for reservation of the right-of-way or for easements to the City for trail purposes.

RMC 4-7-130(0): A plat, short plat, subdivision or dedication shall be prepared in conformance
with the following provisions:
1. Land Unsuitable for Subdivision: Land which is found to be unsuitable for subdivision includes
land with features likely to be harmful to the safety and general health of the future residents (such as
lands adversely affected by flooding, steep slopes, or rock formations). Land which the Department
or the Hearing Examiner considers inappropriate for subdivision shall not be subdivided unless
adequate safeguards are provided against these adverse Conditions_
a. Flooding/Inundation: If any portion of the land within the boundary of a preliminary plat is
subject to flooding or inundation, that portion of the subdivision must have the approval of the State
according to chapter 56.16 RCW before the Department and the Hearing Examiner shall consider
such subdivision.
b. Steep Slopes: A plat, short plat, subdivision or dedication which would result in the creation of a
lot or lots that primarily have slopes forty percent (40%) or greater as measured per RMC 4-3-
050J1 a, without adequate area at lesser slopes upon which development may occur, shall not be
approved.
3. Land Clearing and Tree Retention: Shall comply with RMC 4-4-130, Tree Retention and Land
Clearing Regulations,
9. As determined in the Findings of Fact, significant protective measures and safeguards are
proposed and conditioned to ensure that the proposed development is adequately protected from the
geologic hazards of the site. As proposed and conditioned the project area is appropriate for
subdivision. As previously discussed there is no evidence in the record that there is any flooding
problem.
The property is encumbered by slopes in excess of 40%. As discussed in Findings of Fact No. 5 and
6, no lots will be created that are unsuitable for subdivision. The entire slope area will be placed in an
open space tract (Tract A). The conditions of approval will require the tract to be placed in a Native
Protection Area Easement.
In assessing compliance with RMC 4-4-130, the Staff Report only identifies trees on site that are of 6 -
inch caliper or larger. There is nothing in RMC 4-4-130 that limits tree retention to trees that of 6 -
inch caliper or higher. RMC 4-11-200 defines a tree as having a caliper of 2 inches or higher and the

tree retention requirements of RMC 4-4-130 do not provide for any exceptions for trees smaller than
six inches. It is possible that trees between two and six inches are not present on the site, but that's
not clear from the record and it would not be reasonable to make that inference. In addition to the
additional information recommended by Staff as identified in Finding of Fact No. 4(D), the
Conditions of approval will also require that tree retention be applied to all trees with a two inch
caliper or greater.
RMC 4-7-140: Approval of all subdivisions located in either single family residential or multi-
family residential zones as defined in the Zoning Code shall be contingent upon the subdivider's
dedication of land or providing, fees in lieu of dedication to the City, all as necessary to mitigate the
adverse effects ofdevelopment upon the existing park and recreation service levels. The requirements
and procedures for this mitigation shall be per the City of Renton Parks Mitigation Resolution.
10. As outlined in Finding of Fact No. 4(D), the proposal meets both park and open space
requirements.
RMC 4-7-150(A): The proposed street system shall extend and create connections between existing
streets unless otherwise approved by the Public Works Department. Prior to approving a street
system that does not extend or connect, the Reviewing Official shall find that such exception shall
meet the requirements of subsection E3 of' this Section. The roadway classifications shall be as
defined and designated by the Department.
11. As discussed in Conclusion of Law No. 7, the only street that the project could connect to is
South 55th Street.
RMC 4-7-150(B): All proposed street names shall be approved by the City.
12. As Conditioned.
RMC 4-7-150(C): Streets intersecting with existing or proposed public highways, major or
secondary arterials shall be held to a minimum.
13. If South 55th Street qualifies as an arterial, the project must by necessity connect to it or it
would otherwise only have one access point, through Wilson Park I.
RMC 4-7-150(D): The alignment of all streets shall be reviewed and approved by the Public Works
Department. The street standards set by RMC 4-6-060 shall apply unless otherwise approved. Street
alignment offsets of less than one hundred twenty five feet (125) are not desirable, but may be
approved by the Department upon a showing of need but only after provision of all necessary safety

14. The Public Works Department has reviewed and approved the street alignment as noted in
Finding of Fact No. 4(G).
RMC 4-7-150(E);
1. Grid: A grid street pattern shall be used to connect existing and new development and shall be the
predominant street pattern in any subdivision permitted by this Section.
2. Linkages: Linkages, including streets, .sidewalks, pedestrian or bike paths, shall be provided within
and between neighborhoods when they can create a continuous and interconnected network of roads
and pathways. Implementation of this requirement shall comply with Comprehensive Plan
Transportation Element Objective T -A and Policies T-9 through T-16 and Community Design
Element, Objective CD -Al and Policies CD -50 and CD -60.
3. Exceptions:
a. The grid pattern may be adjusted to a `flexible grid" by reducing the number of linkages or the
alignment between roads, where the following factors are present on site:
i. Infeasible due to topographical/environmental constraints; and/or
ii. Substantial improvements are existing.
4. Connections: Prior to adoption of a complete grid street plan, reasonable connections that link
existing portions of the grid system shall be made. At a minimum, stub streets shall be required
within subdivisions to allow future connectivity.
5. Alley Access: Alley access is the preferred street pattern except for properties in the Residential
Low Density land use designation. The Residential Low Density land use designation includes the
RC, R-1, and R-4 zones_ Prior to approval of a plat without alley access, the Reviewing Official shall
evaluate an alley layout and determine that the use of alley(s) is not feasible...
6. Alternative Configurations: Offset or loop roads are the preferred alternative configurations.
7. Cul -de -Sac Streets: Cul-de-sac streets may only be permitted by the Reviewing Official where due
to demonstrable physical constraints no future connection to a larger street pattern is physically
possible.
15. As discussed in Conclusion of Law No. 7 there are no roads other than South 55th Street and
the Wilson Park I internal road with which the project could connect. No grid system is reasonably
feasible because existing development and the steep slopes to the east make any additional thru
streets impractical. Alley access is infeasible. Topography would make it difficult to configure the
plat to allow for alley access of all lots.

RMC 4-7-150(F): All adjacent rights -of --way and new rights-of-way dedicated as part of the plat,
including streets, roads, and alleys, shall be graded to their full width and the pavement and
sidewalks shall be constructed as specified in the street standards or deferred by the
Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator or his/her designee.
16. As Conditioned.
RMC 4-7-150(G): Streets that may be extended in the event offuture adjacent platting shall be
required to be dedicated to the plat boundary line. Extensions of greater depth than an average lot
shall be improved with temporary turnarounds. Dedication of a full -width boundary street shall he
required in certain instances to facilitate future development.
17. As discussed in Conclusion of Law No. 7 there are no feasible street connections to the
project other than directly to South 55'6 Street and the Wilson Park I plat as proposed.
4-7-160(A): Blocks shall be deep enough to allow two (2) tiers of lots, except where:
1. Abutting principal arterials defined in the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The location and extent of environmental constraints prevent a standard plat land configuration,
including size and shape of the parcel.
3. Prior to approval ofsingle-tier lot configuration based on exceptions 1 and 2, the proponent must
demonstrate that a different layout or provisions of an alley system is not feasible.
18. The steep slopes and the shape of the parcel could not accommodate two tiers of lots.
4-7-160(B): Where circumstances warrant, the Reviewing Official may require one or more public
crosswalks or walkways of not less than six feet (6) in width dedicated to the City to extend entirely
across the width of the block at locations deemed necessary. Such crosswalks or walkways shall be
paved for their entire width and length with a permanent surface and shall be adequately lighted at
the developer's cost.
19. As identified in Finding of Fact 4(E) sidewalks meeting the City's standards will extend along
both sides of Road A. There will also be a looped interior trail system. Proposed Road A does not
appear to warrant crosswalks due to its short length, but investigation of this issue by staff will be
made a condition of approval.
RMC 4-7-170(A): Insofar as practical, side lot lines shall be at right angles to street lines or radial
to curved street lines.
20. As depicted in Ex. 2, the side lines are in conformance with the requirement quoted above.

RMC 4-7-170(B): Each lot must have access to a public street or road. Access may be by private
access easement street per the requirements of the street standards.
21. Each lot will have access to Road A, which the Staff Report states, when completed, will be a
dedicated public road.
RMC 4-7-170(C): The size, shape, and orientation of lots shall meet the minimum area and width
requirements of the applicable zoning classification and shall be appropriate for the type of
development and use contemplated. Further subdivision of lots within a plat approved through the
provisions of this Chapter must be consistent with the then -current applicable maximum density
requirement as measured within the plat as a whole.
22. The proposed plat results in less than allowable density in the R-14 portion of the lot and the
allowable density in the R-1 portion of the lot. As noted in Table A and Table C of the Staff Report,
the lot size, width and design will not meet the minimum requirements of the R-1 and R-14 districts.
Staff recommends the most appropriate zoning standards for this development conform to the R-8
Zone and the deviations approved under the PUD are in line with this recommendation. Any
deviations from minimum lot dimensions authorized by this decision are based upon compliance with
PUD criteria of RMC 4-9-150. For purposes of RMC 4-7-170(0), deviations approved by the PUD
standards should be considered to be consistent with the requirements of the applicable zoning
classification. As conditioned, the project will be required to conform to the R-8 Zone development
standards.
RMC 4-7-170(D): Width between side lot lines at their foremost points (i.e., the points where the
side lot lines intersect with the street right-of-way line) shall not be less than eighty percent (80%) of
the required lot width except in the cases of (1) pipestem lots, which shall have a minimum width of
twenty feet (20) and (2) lots on a street curve or the turning circle of cul-de-sac (radial lots), which
shall be a minimum of thirty five feet (35).
23. The "required lot width" for this project has been reduced by operation of the PUD standards,
RMC 4-9-150. As reduced and described in Table C of the Staff Report, the lot widths for each lot
are fairly consistent and the foremost lot lines are all at least 80% of lot width. However, proposed
Lot 1 has less than the required 60 foot frontage. As modified through the PUD, the criterion is
satisfied.
RMC 4-7-170(E): All lot corners at intersections of dedicated public rights-of-way, except alleys,
shall have minimum radius offifteen feet (15).
24. As Conditioned.

watercourses, and similar community assets. Such natural features should be preserved, thereby
adding attractiveness and value to the property.
26. As conditioned, protected trees shall be retained or replaced as discussed in Finding of Fact
No. S and Conclusion of Law No. 9. The steep slopes will be protected by the City's critical areas
ordinance as well as the open space tract as discussed in Finding of Fact No. 4(D),
RMC 4-7-200(A): Unless septic tanks are specifically approved by the Public Works Department
and the King County Health Department, sanitary sewers shall be provided by the developer at no
cost to the City and designed in accordance with City standards. Side sewer lines shall be installed
eight feet (S) into each lot if sanitary sewer mains are available, or provided with the subdivision
development.
27. As Conditioned.
RMC 4-7-200(B): An adequate drainage system shall be provided for the proper drainage of all
surface water. Cross drains shall be provided to accommodate all natural water flow and shall be of
sufficient length to permit full -width roadway and required slopes. The drainage system shall be
designed per the requirements of RMC 4-6-030, Drainage (Surface Water) Standards. The drainage
system shall include detention capacity for the new .street areas. Residential plats shall also include
detention capacity for future development of the lots. Water quality features shall also be designed to
provide capacity for the new street paving for the plat.
28. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 4(C), the proposal complies with the criterion above.
The Staff Report does not identify whether the project will comply with RMC 4-6-030 so compliance
will be made a condition of approval.
RMC 4-7-200(C): The water distribution system including the locations of fire hydrants shall be
designed and installed in accordance with City standards as defined by the Department and Fire
Department requirements.
29. As Conditioned.
RMC 4-7-200(D): All utilities designed to .serve the ,subdivision shall be placed underground. Any
utilities installed in the parking strip shall be placed in such a manner and depth to permit the
planting of trees. Those utilities to be located beneath paved surfaces shall be installed, including all

33. As shown in Table A of the Staff Report, the requested revisions are limited to the regulations
identified in the regulation quoted above.
RMC 4-9-150(D): The City may approve a planned urban development only if it finds that the
following requirements are met.
1. Demonstration of Compliance and Superiority Required: Applicants must demonstrate that a
proposed development is in compliance with the purposes of this Section and with the Comprehensive
Plan, that the proposed development will be superior to that which would result without a planned
urban development, and that the development will not be unduly detrimental to surrounding
properties.
34. The purposes of the PUD regulations, as outlined in RMC 4-9-150, are to preserve and protect
the natural features of the land and to encourage innovation and creativity in development of
residential uses. As outlined in Finding of Fact No. 4 and 6 the natural features (the steep slope) of
the site are protected by open space and an internal trail. The consolidation of the open space
requirement with critical area protection, recreational use and the internal trail system involves
innovation and creativity. The use of R-8 zoning design standards to promote compatibility within
the two zoning designations of the project in addition to surrounding uses is also innovative and
creative. The project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as determined in Conclusion of Law
No. 5. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 6, the proposal is superior in design to what which
would occur without a PUD. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 4 and 5 the project will not create
any significant adverse impacts and so would not be unduly detrimental to surrounding properties.
RMC 4-9-150(D): The City may approve a planned urban development only if it finds that the
following requirements are met.
2. Public Benefit Required: In addition, Applicants shall demonstrate that a proposed development
will provide specifically identified benefits that clearly outweigh any adverse impacts or undesirable
effects of the proposed planned urban development, particularly those adverse and undesirable
impacts to surrounding properties, and that the proposed development will provide one or more of
the following benefits than would result from the development of the subject site without the proposed
planned urban development:
a. Critical Areas: Protects critical areas that would not be protected otherwise to the same
degree as without a planned urban development; or
b. Natural Features: Preserves, enhances, or rehabilitates natural features of the subject
property, such as significant woodlands, native vegetation, topography, or noncritical area
wildlife habitats, not otherwise required by other City regulations; or...

e. Overall Design: Provides a planned urban development design that is superior to the
design that would result from development of the subject property without a planned urban
development. A superior design may include the following:...
35. The proposal provides for public benefit as determined in Finding of Fact No. 7. These
benefits clearly outweigh any adverse impacts since there are no significant adverse impacts
associated with the proposal as determined in Finding of Fact No. 4 and 5. As previously concluded,
the proposal also provides for more protection of steep slopes than otherwise required by the
placement of the slopes in a significant amount of open space and as determined in Finding of Fact
No. 6, the PUD provides for a design superior to that which would otherwise be required.
RMC4-9-150(D): The City may approve a planned urban development only if if finds that the
following requirements are met....
3. Additional Review Criteria: A proposed planned urban development shall also be reviewed for
consistency with all of the following criteria:
a. Building and Site Design.-
i.
esign:
i. Perimeter: Size, scale, mass, character and architectural design along the planned urban
development perimeter provide a suitable transition to adjacent or abutting lower density/intensity
zones. Materials shall reduce the potential for light and glare.
36. Proposed landscaping on the south boundary of Lot 10 would provide some screening of when
viewed from South 55th Street. Proposed plantings of the southeast corner of Lot 1 would provide
some incremental screening for Lot 1 when viewed from 55th Avenue South. The conditions of
approval require additional planting within the right-of-way along 55th Avenue South. This would
require dedication of additional right-of-way along the south boundary of the plat, between the new
Road A west to the southwest corner of the site.
As conditioned, the scale, mass, character and architectural design along the perimeter will be of a
detached single family residential development consistent with R-8 zoning This creates compatibility
with both the interior split zoning and surrounding single-family development.
RMC 4-9-154(D): The City may approve a planned urban development only if it finds that the
following requirements are met.
3. Additional Review Criteria: A proposed planned urban development shall also be reviewed for

ii. Interior Design: Promotes a coordinated site and building design_ Buildings in groups should be
related by coordinated materials and roof styles, but contrast should be provided throughout a site by
the use of varied materials, architectural detailing, building orientation or housing type; e.g., single
family, townhouses, flats, etc.
37. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 6, the interior site design promotes quality pedestrian
circulation, increased critical area protection, and promotes safety by buffering the high landslide
hazards. All homes would be required to comply with the R-8 development design standards which
would result in coordinated, yet varied roof styles and materials, architectural detailing, and a variety
of home styles throughout the development.
RMC 4-9-150(D): The City may approve a planned urban development only if it finds that the
following requirements are met.
3. Additional Review Criteria: A proposed planned urban development shall also be reviewed for
consistency with all of'the following criteria
b. Circulation:
i. Provides .sufficient streets and pedestrian facilities. The planned urban development shall have
sufficient pedestrian and vehicle access commensurate with the location, .size and density of the
proposed development. All public and private streets shall accommodate emergency vehicle access
and the traffic demand created by the development as documented in a traffic and circulation report
approved by the City. Vehicle access shall not be unduly detrimental to adjacent areas.
38. The criterion above is met as determined in Finding of Fact No. 4(E), (F) and (G).

e. Privacy and Building Separation: Provides internal privacy between dwelling units, and external
privacy for adjacent dwelling units. Each residential or mixed use development shall provide visual
and acoustical privacy for dwelling units and surrounding properties_ Fences, insulation, walks,
barriers, and landscaping are used, as appropriate, for the protection and aesthetic enhancement of
the property, the privacy of site occupants and surrounding properties, and for screening of storage,
mechanical or other appropriate areas, and for the reduction of noise. Windows are placed at such a
height or location or screened to provide sufficient privacy. Sufficient light and air are provided to
each dwelling unit.

44. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, the proposal is adequately screened from adjoining
development. Within the subdivision, unit to unit privacy would be provided by the side yard setback
requirement. Street trees are required either within the required landscape strip or in the front yard of
the lot. The required trees would add to the privacy for lots across Road A. As discussed in Finding
of Fact Nos. 4(D) and 6, the proposed walkways and landscaping are appropriate for the protection
and aesthetic enhancement of the property.
All homes would be required to be designed to meet the residential design standards for the R-8 zone.
These standards would require windows on the front of the home, increasing access to light and air
for each dwelling unit. Furthermore, each lot would have private front, side and rear yards, enhancing
each lot with landscaping and access to light and air.
RMC 4-9-150(D): The City may approve a planned urban development only if it finds that the
following requirements are met.
3. Additional Review Criteria: A proposed planned urban development shall also be reviewed for
consistency with all of the following criteria
f Building Orientation: Provides buildings oriented to enhance views from within the site by taking
advantage of topography, building location and style.
45. The lots are arranged on either side of Road A. The site topography slopes down from south
to north, resulting in a tiered housing effect after site grading. The relatively small amount of new
housing and the large effect of the topography provide little opportunity for enhanced views from
within the site. Given the site grading and required building styles, this criterion is met.
RMC 4-9-150(D): The City may approve a planned urban development only if it fndv that the
following requirements are met_
3_ Additional Review Criteria: A proposed planned urban development shall also be reviewed for
consistency with all of the following criteria
g. Parking Area Design: Provides parking areas that are complemented by landscaping and not
designed in long rows. The size ofparking areas is minimized in comparison to typical designs, and
each area related to the group of buildings served The design provides for efficient use of parking,
and shared parking facilities where appropriate.

46. Required parking would be provided within garages attached to each home. Additional guest
parking would be provided on the driveway aprons for each lot, particularly given the condition of
approval that requires an additional 3 feet of setback for garages. On -street parking would be
provided along the east side of Road A. The proposed parking is designed to provide efficient use of
the site and would be appropriately screen by the provided garages.
RMC 4-9-150(D)(4): Each planned urban development shall demonstrate compliance with the
development standards contained in subsection E of this Section, the underlying zone, and any
overlay districts; unless a modification for a specific development standard has been requested
pursuant to subsection B2 of this Section.
47. As discussed below, the proposal complies with all development standards imposed by RMC
4-9-150(E). As previously mentioned, Staff has recommended that the entire site be subject to the
development standards of the R-8 zone. The current zones are R-14 and R-1. Only one dwelling unit
is proposed for the R -I zone portion. Nine are proposed for the R-14 zone. The total gross zoning is
proposed to be 6.4, well less than the density required for R-8 zone that Staff recommends. As
depicted in the plat maps, Ex. 2, the lots comply with the bulk and dimensional requirements of the
underlying zone except to the extent modified by the PUD regulations.
RMC 4-9-150(E)(1): Common Open Space Standard: Open space shall be concentrated in large
usable areas and may be designed to provide either active or passive recreation. Requirements for
residential, mixed use, commercial, and industrial developments are described below.
a. Residential: For residential developments open space must equal at least ten percent (10%) of the
development site's gross land area.
i. Open space may include, but is not limited to, the following:
a) A trail that allows opportunity for passive recreation within a critical area buffer (only the square
footage of the trail shall be included in the open space area calculation), or
b) A sidewalk and its associated landscape strip, when abutting the edge of a critical area buffer and
when apart of a new public or private road, or
c) A similar proposal as approved by the reviewing official.
ii. Additionally, a minimum area equal to fifty (50) square feet per unit of common .space or
recreation area shall be provided in a concentrated space as illustrated in Figure 1,
48. In addition to private open space provided on each proposed lot, the Applicants have proposed
to provide a passive recreation area primarily located on the eastern portion of the site, and wrapping
around the north part of Lot 6 and the south boundary of Lot 10. This 19,164 sq. ft. (0.44 acre) open

space would include a pergola structure, landscaping and two picnic tables, a soft surface looped trail
system through the development, and would also comprise the steep slope area beyond to the north
and east. RMC 4-9-150E requires that PUD's provide large concentrated areas of open space,
equivalent to 10% of the site's gross area. The site is 93,801 sq. ft. and the provided open space tract
is 19,164 sq. ft, comprising approximately 20% of the site, and exceeding the open space standards by
9,784 square feet. The overall location and design of the park, open space and trail are located as to
create a quality open space/recreation area for the development, specifically if all conditions of
approval are met.
RMC 4-9-150(E)(2): Private Open Space: Each residential unit in a planned urban development
shall have usable private open space (in addition to parking, storage space, lobbies, and corridors)
for the exclusive use of the occupants of that unit. Each ground floor unit whether attached or
detached, shall have private open space which is contiguous to the unit. The private open space shall
be well demarcated and at least fifteen feet (15) in every dimension (decks on upper floors can
substitute for the required private open space). For dwelling units which are exclusively upper story
units, there shall be deck areas totaling at least sixty (60) square feet in size with no dimension less
than five feet (5 J.
49. Each lot would have a private yard in both the front and the rear of the lot. The minimum side
yard setback in the requested R-8 zoning development standards is five feet, which could result in a
private open space yard that is less than 15 feet in every dimension. However, the lots sizes are large
enough to meet this standard. As a condition of approval, compliance with this standard shall be
required at the building permit stage.
RMC 4-9-150(E)(3): Installation and Maintenance of Common Open Space:
a. Installation: All common area and open space shall be landscaped in accordance with the
landscaping plan submitted by the Applicants and approved by the City; provided, that common open
space containing natural features worthy of preservation may be left unimproved. Prior to the
issuance of any occupancy permit, the developer shall furnish a security device to the City in an
amount equal to the provisions of RMC 4-9-060. Landscaping shall be planted within one year of the
date of final approval of the planned urban development, and maintained,for a period of two (2)
years thereafter prior to the release of the security device_ A security device for providing
maintenance of landscaping may be waived if a landscaping maintenance contract with a reputable
landscaping firm licensed to do business in the City of Renton is executed and kept active for a two
2) year period. A copy of such contract shall be kept on_ f le with the Development Services Division.
b. Maintenance: Landscaping shall be maintained pursuant to requirements of RMC 4-4-070.

BEFORE THE HEARING EXAMINER FOR THE CITY OF RENTON
RE. Wilson Park II
FINAL DECISION
Preliminary Plat and Planned Urban
Development }
LUA12-013, ECF, PP, PPUD )
SUMMARY
The Applicants propose a preliminary plat to subdivide a 2.15 acre parcel into ten single-family
residential lots and one tract for open space. A planned urban development ("PUD") is proposed in
order to modify minimum lot sizes and other development standards. The preliminary plat and PUD
are approved subject to conditions.
TESTIMONY
Jennifer Henning, Renton Planning Manager, stated Wilson Park II is a preliminary plat and
planned urban development located to the east of Talbot Rd S and north of S 55th Street. It is an
existing 2.15 acre site with split -zoning. A portion of the site is zoned R-14 which has a maximum of
14 dwelling units per acre, and another portion of the site is zoned R-1 which allows one dwelling
unit per acre. The site has an Urban Separator overlay present on an eastern portion of the site in
conjunction with steep slopes. The Applicants are proposing to create a subdivision of detached
single family homes with 10 lots. The lots would range in size from 5,560 to 6,778 sq ft, and the site
would also include a tract set aside for open space and critical areas (Tract A) on the eastern portion
of the site. Tract A would be 19,164 sq ft. which is roughly 20 percent of the site (correction to the
Staff Report which gives the coverage as 50 percent). The city zoning map notes the split zoning of
the site (a squiggly line marks the split area). A map of the site shows the protected slopes in bright
orange and 39 or lower percent slopes in yellow. The site is shown with a dashed dark line and is

roughly square-shaped. South 55 Street is often called the "Snake Road" and is fairly steep.
Upon questioning from the Hearing Examiner, Ms. Henning noted that a geo-tech report was done in
2004 by Mr. Carl Zing. Noting plate 2 of the 2004 geo-tech report, Ms. Henning stated that the west
side of the site was analyzed in that report with a proposal for 4 lots. Exhibit 18 is a 2012 geo-tech
report which supplements the 2004 report. Staff does not feel that the geo-tech reports addressing
different lot proposals affect the overall conclusions. There are no streams or coal mine hazards that
affect the site. There are some steep slopes on the extreme northwest corner of the site and off-site to
the west. The presence of the slopes resulted in the city creating the Urban Separator overlay
designation. She noted that, in most areas, an Urban Separator will follow the property lines.
However, this site's separator (the Talbot Urban Separator) follows topography lines rather than
parcel and zoning lines. Recently, the Talbot Urban Separator language has been clarified to say that
half of the area in the Urban Separator has to be used as open space (instead of half the whole parcel
as is the case for other separators). She concluded that the developable part of the site is a moderate
slope.
In regards to averaging the density, Ms. Hennings stated that if Staff looked at the R-14 zone on its
own (with the road taken out) about 1 acre would be left. This would allow for 14 units (which could
be duplexes, triplexes, etc.). In the R-1 portion of the site, there could still only be 1 dwelling unit.
Thus, if the density was calculated in the original way, there could be up to 15 lots. Staff suggested
using the PUD process to look at applying different standards to the entire parcel. Staff decided to
average the density across the site (without exceeding the density of one part of the site vs. the other)
using an administrative code interpretation.
Ms. Hennings testified that Exhibit 2 shows the proposal, including the 10 lots, Tract A, and a central
road (Road A). Staff recommends that a covenant be included in the approval that restricts the
Applicants to only building detached single-family homes. In Exhibit 2, the R-14 zone is the light
brown color while R-1 zone is the green color. Lot 5, 8, and 9 would be split -zoned parcels. Staff is
recommending that the plat subscribe to the R-8 zoning standards which are a residential single
family (RSF) designation. Regardless, the plat meets policies of multiple land -use possibilities being
considered. The R-14 designation is in the Residential Single Family (RSF) while R -I is in
Residential Low Density (RLD) standard. R-8 is within the RSF designation.
The site is served by the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District. The certificate of water availability
became available on June 12a', 2012. The site will also use facilities being built for the Wilson Park I
site which has already been approved. The Wilson Park I site will provide 26 ft. of paving for road,
2-5ft. sidewalks, and a landscape strip. Parking will be allowed on the east side of the street. Exhibit
I 1 depicts the landscape plan with the road in the center. The landscape is shown in green and the
road in brown. A walking path, which is a public benefit, will be provided around lot 6. It is a hard -
surface path that will lead into the planned gazebo area. There are street trees being proposed along
with trees in the open fence area. A split -rail fence is proposed for the back of the lots. Staff is
concerned that the split -rail fence will not provide enough security for future residents and will result
in residents building additional fences. Staff is working with the Applicants to find a better solution

for the fencing problem. Staff also asks that the walking path be moved out of the boundaries of Lot
10. There is no design yet for the gazebo, but it is contained in a 350 sq ft area. The Applicants is
possibly going to expand this recreation area to the Wilson Park I recreation area to the north. Staff
believes that circulation beyond the walking path is necessary for safety and convenience. The
nearest bus stop is 700 ft. away. Staff recommends a condition that there be a walking path along S
55"' St. for kids to safely reach the bus stop.
Ms. Hennings stated that the project went through a SEPA review and has a number of conditions
that must be met as a result of that review. Staff provided a table within the Staff Report that
describes what the standards for the two residential zones are, and the required modifications
necessary for the proposal to meet the R-8 standards. The lots meet the minimum size standards of
the R-8 zone and all meet the width requirements except for Lot 1. The R-8 standard currently allows
1511 from the garage face to the back sidewalk; however, Staff is recommending 18ft from the back of
the garage to the back of the sidewalk for a parking apron area. This is especially necessary because
there is limited guest parking. All the setbacks for the rear -yard, design standards, and maximum
building coverage work best with the R-8 standard. Staff believes the R-8 standard applied creates a
superior plat because of the more uniform lots and homes, more open space and recreation areas. The
plan also protects the steep slopes more because it protects a greater area than what would be required
under other zone areas. Exhibit 9 shows the steep slope area with the plan and demonstrates that
approximately a third more area is protected under the R-8 zone plan.
Ms. Hennings explained that the City of Renton does not require recreational areas on site because it
prefers applicants to pay into the City's park mitigation fund. The proposal, under R-8 zone
standards, will require a footpath to the school bus -stop and the recreational walking path. The
Applicants are paying the full park impact fee, traffic fee, fire fee, and school impact fee. Staff
suggested additional common amenities such as barbecues or fireplaces. There are currently 82 trees
on the site, and 21 of the trees will be removed because they are in the section where the public streets
will be built (Exhibit 9). There are three trees in the critical areas and buffers which don't count.
This leaves 58 trees to consider for zoning standards. Zoning requirements state that 10 trees on-site
will have to be retained. The Applicants are proposing to retain the necessary 10 trees and will be
adding at least 2 trees per lot. Additional landscape enhancements will be added along the back of
the lots. Staff is also asking additional trees be planted along the south side of Lot 1 because of car
traffic along that area. A variety of tree types and plant forms will be utilized.
Ms. Hennings testified that the homes will be subject to the City's residential design standards. No
floor plans or elevations are available at this time. No alley is needed because of the limited space.
Staff is recommending an 8 -ft wide landscape strip be included along the south side of Lot 1. The
Applicants would also be required to provide curb, gutter and sidewalks and a landscape strip along
the extreme eastside of the site which has frontage on S 55th St. The Applicants are not opposed to
providing these additional facilities. No lighting plan was provided as part of the proposal. The
lighting plan would be needed later in the process. Ms. Hennings noted that the code does not require
lighting along the walking path at night.

In regard to the emergency vehicle service; Staff is concerned that if Wilson Park. I is not constructed
there will be no place for the vehicles to turn -around. Staff stated that if Wilson Park I is not
constructed first (or at all) an emergency turnaround will need to be provided. A stormwater vault
was proposed as part of Wilson Park I (Exhibit 13, shown in blue) which would be sufficient to
handle any run-off. Additionally, the Applicants are proposing a covenant to limit the amount of
pervious surface on each lot. The City provides fire and sewer service.
In regard to the plat application, Ms. Hennings noted that Staff believes all of the lots are
appropriately sized with suitable orientations except for Lot 1. Staff asks that Lot 1's width be
changed because it is a corner lot. All access topography seemed to be fitting and no disruption to
other properties was evident. Staff asks that Tract A be placed in a native -growth protection area
easement. Staff is recommending that the preliminary plat and PUD be approved, subject to the 18
conditions presented in the Staff Report.
Jim Hanson, 17446 Ballard Cove's Lane, stated that the Applicants agree the R-8 standards should
apply. The Applicants have no objection to the l8ft garage -sidewalk standard change. The PUD
process requires the Applicants to provide the open -space and recreation areas that would not be
required with the normal R-1 zone. In areas where there is no critical slope, the Applicants are
clearing invasive species and enhancing the landscape rather than just leaving it as over -growth. The
Applicants believe this type of development is a better transition from the R-14 zone to the R-8 zone
to the north and to the R-4 zones to the east and south. Rather than having townhouses and duplexes,
the Applicants feel 10 single-family homes are more appropriate. The previous proposals (from
2004) had higher density levels (but fewer lots).
Upon questioning by the Hearing Examiner, Mr. Hanson noted that the Applicants had not discussed
lighting the pedestrian pathway. He noted that it is a wildlife corridor, and the path is not intended
for night use.
Darrell Offe, Offe Engineers, stated that the 2004 geo-tech report was done for a different property
owner. The previous owner only looked at the west side of the property because he believed the
entire east side was sensitive areas. The current Applicants have added the east side to the site plans.
The Applicants have worked with Staff to establish the 25 percent Urban Separator line as the
designation between the R-1 and the R-14. Soos Creek is the purveyor of the water and Renton is the
purveyor of the sewer. The 2005 drainage manual (used for Wilson Park I and 2) requires that the
detention facility be sized to accommodate 85 percent pervious surface per lot. The code allows the
Applicants to restrict themselves to a lower impervious level and lessen the treatment it has to
provide. The stormwater facility planned for Wilson Park I will include Wilson Park I1 along with
the restrictive covenants. The Applicants ask that under Condition 8 {which asks for a walking path
to the nearest bus stop on 55`
h Street), the wording be changed to just say the nearest bus stop. This
change is in hope that a new bus stop closer to the site can be created.
Ms. Henning's noted that the City has no objections to this change of Condition 8.

Jim Hanson noted that the timing for the PUD expiration is different for the plat expiration. Plats are
valid for 9 years while PUDs are only valid for 5 years. The Applicants ask that the expiration of the
PUD be increased to 9 years.
Jennifer Hennings noted, if the plat was developed under the R-8 standards, the Applicants could
build up to 13 lots. Instead, the Applicants are proposing ten lots. If the R-1 and R-14 density
standards were used, up to 15 lots could be built with a density of 9.16 per acre. Under the current
proposal, there are 6.4 units per acre.
EXHIBITS
The June 12, 2012 Staff Report in addition to Exhibits 1-21 identified in pages 2-3 of the Staff
Report were admitted into the record at the June 12, 2012 hearing.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Procedural:
Applicants. Robert and Doravin Wilson.
2. Hearing. The Examiner held a hearing on the subject application on June 12, 2012 at
2:00 pm in the City of Renton Council Chambers.
Substantive:
3. Project Description. The Applicants request preliminary plat approval to subdivide a 2.15
acre parcel into ten lots for single-family homes at a proposed density of 6.4 dwelling units per acre.
An open space tract is included in the subdivision. The preliminary application is accompanied by a
PUD application requesting deviations to R-1 and R-14 zoning standards, as outlined in Table A of
the Staff Report, adopted and incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full. All lots will have
access to a public street, Road A. The project is divided into two zoning designations: R-14 and R-1.
The R-1 Zone comprises 38,326 square feet (including the steep slope area), and the R-14 portion of
the site is 55,474 square feet. Proposed density averages 6.4 dwelling units per acre across the site,
with nine lots proposed in the R-14 area and one lot proposed within the R-1. Access would be
provided from South 55h Street via a new street constructed as part of the approved Wilson Park I
plat. The site contains 9,783 square feet of slopes with greater than 40% grade. A small
hydrologically isolated, unregulated wetland is located on the western portion of the site. An
underground stormwater vault was previously approved for Wilson Park I to be within the roadway
on the subject site. The vault is being revised to accommodate the additional stormwater generated
by the proposal. A hard -surface walking path leading into a planned gazebo area will be provided as

well as will a soft surface, 3 -foot wide walking path around Lot 6-10. There are street trees being
proposed along with trees in the open fence area. A split -rail fence is proposed for the back of the
lots.
A portion of the site is subject to the Talbot Urban Separator Overlay Regulations. That portion of
the site zoned R-1 is considered to be within the Urban Separator. Per RMC 4-3-110(E)(2)(a)(ii),
50% of the area within the Urban Separator must be dedicated as irrevocable open space. The
Applicants propose to retain 19,164 square feet, or 50% of the site as open space within Tract A. The
application includes a proposal for a planned unit development in order to modify minimum lot size
and development standards for both the R-1 and R-14 designations. Proposed lots would range in
size from 5,560 square feet to 6,778 square feet.
4. Adequacy of Infrastructure/Public Services. The project will be served by adequate
infrastructure and public services as follows:
A. Water and Sewer Service. Water and sanitary sewer service for the development would be
provided by the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District. A water availability certificate was
issued by the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District on June 12, 2012, according to Staff
testimony. Based on the submitted Conceptual Utilities Plan (Exhibit 13), there is an
existing sewer main located in 55th Avenue South. The Applicants have proposed to
connect to this existing main and extend an 8 -inch sanitary sewer line to provide sewer to
the development. This plan sheet also identifies an 8 -inch water line extension from 55th
Avenue South through the subject plat and to the Wilson Park I plat located to the north.
With receipt of the water availability certificate, the development would provide sufficient
service to the lots.
B. Fire Protection. Fire protection would be provided by the City of Renton Fire Department.
C. Drainage. In conjunction with the City's stormwater regulations, the proposal mitigates
all significant drainage impacts. New impervious surfaces would result in surface water
runoff increases. The Applicants submitted a Technical Information Report ("Drainage
Report") and Addendum with the project application (Exhibit 21). The original
stormwater system for Wilson Park I is located within the street that would serve both
Wilson Park I and 11. This system was sized to accommodate Wilson Park I lots and the
new streets including the access street located within this project, Wilson Park 11. The
Addendum provides calculations intended to evaluate the sizing of the storm treatment

facility for the two projects and demonstrates that the facility as revised for Wilson Park II
is sufficient to accommodate both Wilson Park i and Wilson Park 11. The City of
Renton's 2009 Drainage Manual requires Best Management Practices (BMP's) for new
developments. One BMP's is to restrict impervious areas on future lots to help reduce
runoff, mitigate for development, and minimize the treatment system needed for the
project. This is known as a "Restrictive Covenant" provision and was utilized as part of a
preliminary sizing of the future system for both Wilson Park I and II. The Applicants
intend to utilize the Restrictive Covenant provision and limit impervious surface on each
of the new lots in both Wilson Park I and II to 3,300 square feet per lot. By limiting the
impervious area for homes, patios, driveways and walkways, the proposed stormwater
vault will be of an appropriate size to accommodate both developments. The Applicants
have also intended to develop both plats at the same time.
D. Parks/Open Space. The project provides for adequate parks and open space. The
proposed development is located on a 2.15 acre site. The eastern portion of the site is
located in a steep slope critical area. The site contains geotechnical hazards in the form of
slopes greater than 40% covering 38,326 sq. ft. within the Talbot Urban Separator. Both
the subject plat and Wilson Park I are required to set aside 50% of the area of the site
located within the Talbot Urban Separator as a non -revocable open space tract.
Additionally, the City critical areas regulations provide for protection of steep slopes.
RMC 4-9-150(E) requires PUDs to provide large concentrated areas of open space,
equivalent to 10% of the site's gross area. The Staff Report notes that the proposed
development increases these protections by protecting the steep slope within a tract that
would also serve as the common open space and recreation area. The project proposes to
set aside 19,164 square feet, or 50% of the Talbot Urban Separator area in Open Space
Tract A. The site is 93,801 sq. ft. and the provided open space tract is 19,164 sq.ft,
comprising approximately 20% of the site, and exceeding the open space standards by
9,784 sq. ft. A 510 lineal foot (1,530 sq. ft.) looped trail provided on the flat area of Tract
A would separate five of the new lots from the steep slope area. The open space tract
would also connect to a comparable open space tract on Wilson Park I that was set aside to
address requirements of the Urban Separator Overlay Regulations (RMC4-3-110E, 2.a.ii).
The Applicants have proposed to provide an approximately 350 sq. ft. common park that
includes a concrete path, pergola/gazebo and landscaping. The conditions of approval
require the proposed development provide 500 sq. ft. of common space or recreation area
to meet the 50 sq. ft. required by PUD regulations for each of the ten lots. The proposed
park is located along the perimeters of proposed Lots 6-10 and connects to the walking
path through the remainder of Tract A. The conditions of approval require that the section

on the south side of Lot 10 be revised to meander and not abut the edge of the split rail
fence. As conditioned, the overall location and design of the park, open space and trail
will create quality open space and recreation areas for the development.
Private open space will be provided on each lot through the yard setbacks and limitations
in pervious surface. Staff further recommends that a minimum setback of 18 feet be
required from the face of the garage to the back of the sidewalk to allow an appropriate
area for parking. This increased setback would also increase the yard space for each lot.
The overall passive and active recreation opportunities proposed for the subject
development are beyond the standard code requirements. The proposed open space and
recreation on the site provide the opportunity for both passive and active recreation. The
park area provides for both passive and active recreation by offering both a gazebo/pergola
and hard and soft surface trails. The varieties of recreation opportunities proposed
throughout the development and in conjunction with Wilson Park I create a mix of
choices, appealing to a large spectrum of people.
The split -rail fence or pergola/gazebo designs are not reflected on the Landscape Plan or
the Plat Plan. The conditions of approval require the Applicants provide a detail of the
proposed pergola/gazebo and fence design and location as a part of the final detailed
Iandscape plan. These details shall be submitted and approved by the Current Planning
Project Manager prior to final PUD approval.
E. Pedestrian Circulation. The proposed preliminary plat provides for an appropriate
pedestrian circulation system. In addition to the proposed soft surface pedestrian path,
discussed above, the Applicants have proposed sidewalks along .both sides of Road A
consistent with the residential character of the development. As discussed below,
pedestrian linkage to the nearest school bus stop is also required. This network of
pathways and sidewalks provides for a pedestrian network that ties the residential
development to recreational areas and schools. It is unclear from the record whether there
are any commercial areas or public transit stops within walking distance; nonetheless the
linkage to adjoining sidewalks provides all the linkage that can reasonably be required of
the Applicants.
As conditioned, pedestrian safety is assured through adequate separation of pathways from
motor vehicles and adequate lighting. The conditions of approval require pedestrian
separation along South 55th Street with an 8 -foot planter strip. Another 8 -foot planter
strip is required along the "inside" of Road A. Furthermore, the pedestrian looped trail

would provide another means for pedestrian movement throughout the development
maintaining sufficient separation from vehicles.
A lighting plan was not included in the Applicants' submittal packet; therefore, it is not
clear how the proposed pedestrian pathways would be illuminated at night. Although, the
soft surface trail should not be lit at night as this may cause additional impacts to open
space area, the remainder of the hard surfaced pedestrian pathway and recreation areas
should be lit. As a condition of approval, the Applicants shall submit a lighting plan for
review and approval by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to utility construction.
The lighting plan shall contain pedestrian lighting in addition to building and landscaping
lighting, if proposed.
Comments received from surrounding property owners concern the ability of children to
safely access a school bus stop (Exhibit 14). The Applicants have observed that presently
school buses travel east on South 55th Street in the morning, stopping in South 55th Street
to pick-up students. The buses then travel west in the aftemoon, stopping in South 55th to
drop-off students. While it was originally anticipated that this practice would continue
with the project, and that children would wait together for pick-up, an inquiry to the
Renton School District (RSD) revealed that these are actually Kent School District buses,
which do not serve the subject plat. RSD does not operate on South 55th Street, and
would require that students walk approximately 700 feet to the west to be picked up at the
corner of South 55th Street and Talbot Road South. In order to provide an appropriate
safe route to schools, the conditions of approval request a walking path within the
improved right-of-way, with a minimum 5 -foot asphalt path from the entrance to the plat
to the nearest school bus stop that serves the subdivision. This should be installed at the
time that street and utility improvements are being installed.
P. Interior Vehicle Circulation. In addition to sidewalks and the proposed pedestrian path,
the proposed preliminary plat also provides for appropriate vehicle circulation system.
The road system connects with the Wilson Park I Plat located immediately to the north.
The road was originally approved as part of Wilson Park I and has not yet been
constructed. Wilson Park I is dependent upon the construction of this road, as is Wilson
Park I1. The internal street is designed to accommodate emergency vehicle access and the
traffic generated by the project, provided that the street connects through Wilson Park 1.
In the event that Wilson Park I is not constructed concurrent or prior to Wilson Park 11, an
emergency turnaround would need to be provided within the subject plat. The conditions
of approval require that if Wilson Park II moves forward prior to Wilson Park I, the public
street be constructed with an approved emergency turnaround.

Access to the property should not adversely affect adjoining properties and there are no
difficult turning patterns. The site access street intersects South 55th Street on the outside
of a horizontal curve on South 55th Street to optimize sight distance in both the east and
west direction for vehicles entering and exiting the site. Previously, the site distance on
South 55th Street was evaluated as part of Wilson Park I. It was determined then that the
City of Renton intersection and stopping sight distance requirements in both the east and
west directions would be met.
As shown in Ex. 2, the internal road does not traverse any steep gradients and there is no
driveway access to any busy streets as there is no driveway access to South 55th Street.
G. Off -Site Traffic Improvements. Frontage improvements are required along South 55th
Street. The property has frontage in two locations, where the proposed internal Road A
intersects South 55th Street, and where a portion of Tract A fronts on South 55th Street.
In both cases, the Applicants are required to construct curb, gutter, 5 -foot wide sidewalks,
and an 8 -foot wide planting strip. The Applicants' proposal indicates a 5 -foot wide
sidewalk along South 55th Street on the south side of Lot 1. No planting strip is proposed
within the South 55th Street right-of-way. No street improvements are proposed within
the right-of-way for South 55th Street for the portion where Tract A fronts on the street
Exhibit 2, 11). The conditions of approval require revision of the construction
engineering plans, and final detailed landscape plan to show the required street
improvements and landscaping prior to the Final PUD and Final Plat approval process.
The Applicants submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis Report (Exhibit 12) prepared by
TraffEx. The report indicates that the proposal would utilize the same access to South
55th Street as the approved Wilson Park I Plat. The site access street intersects South 55th
Street on the outside of a horizontal curve on South 55th Street to optimize sight distance
in both the east and west direction for vehicles entering and exiting the site. The report
also indicates that the horizon year for the study is 2014, as this is the year construction of
both plats is anticipated. The study determined the Level -of -Service (LOS) with the
project will be LOS B for future 2014 conditions. This LOS satisfies the City's LOS
standard and there is no evidence in the record that is contrary to the conclusions of the
traffic report on LOS impacts. The project design will ensure intersection and stopping
sight distance requirements in both the east and west directions will be met. The report
has been presumably approved by staff, since it has gone through staff review and Staff
have recommended all the conditions of approval they deemed necessary for adequate
traffic mitigation in the environmental report.

The Renton School District (RSD) does not operate on South 55th Street. The closest
school bus stop is approximately 700 feet to the west at the corner of South 55th Street
and Talbot Road South. In order to provide an appropriate safe route to schools, the
conditions of approval require a walking path within the improved right-of-way, with a
minimum 5 -foot asphalt path to the nearest school bus stop as determined safe by City
staff. This should be installed concurrent with street and utility improvements.
5. Adverse Impacts. Since the project provides for adequate infrastructure and public services,
the only remaining impacts to be considered are to critical areas. All impacts to critical areas have
been thoroughly assessed and completely mitigated, as identified in the Environmental Review
Report, Ex. 4-6, adopted by this reference as if set forth in full. The mitigation measures
recommended by Staff in the Environmental Report are adopted as conditions of approval via
adoption of the mitigation measures of the determination of nonsignificance. Adoption of Ex. 6
encompasses both the Findings of Fact and the Conclusions of Law of Staff.
A. Trees. Loss of trees is an impact that Renton regulations require mitigated. As conditioned,
the project will retain trees as required by City standards, although it must be noted that the
Staff Report erroneously only requires protection of trees with of a 6 -inch caliper or greater
whereas it appears that City standards require trees of a 2 -inch caliper or greater to be
protected. The Staff Report notes that the site contains a total of 82 trees of 6 -inch caliper or
larger, 21 are within the proposed public right-of-way, and 3 are located in critical areas and
their buffers resulting in 58 protected trees on site (Exhibit 9, 10). Of these, 21 trees are
within the R-1 zone, and 37 trees within the R-14 zoned portions of the property. The R-1
zone requires 30 percent tree retention of the protected trees on site, while the R-14 requires
10 percent tree retention. At a 30 percent retention rate in the R-1 zone, 6 trees of greater than
6 -inch caliper would be required to be retained. At 10 percent retention rate in the R-14 zone,
4 trees of greater than 6 -inch would need to be retained. This is a total of 10 trees of greater
than 6 -inch caliper required to be retained. The Applicants have identified 10 trees that would
be retained thus meeting the requirement for trees of greater than 6 -inch caliper. In addition,
the Applicants propose to plant 40 new trees on site, which includes street trees within the
right-of-way and ornamental trees within Tract `A', the common open space and Native
Growth Protection Area Easement. As noted in the conclusions of law, Renton tree retention
standards require the protection of 2 -inch caliper trees, not 6 -inch trees as suggested in the
Staff Report. The conditions of approval will require that the tree retention requirements be
applied to trees that are of 2 -inch caliper or greater.
B. Compatibility with Adjoining Use Perimeter screening will ensure compatibility and
minimize aesthetic impacts. Proposed landscaping on the south boundary of Lot 10 would
provide some screening of when viewed from South 55th Street. Proposed plantings of the
southeast corner of Lot 1 would provide some incremental screening for Lot 1 when viewed
from 55th Avenue South. Additional planting within the right-of-way is required as a

condition of approval along 55th Avenue South. This requires dedication of additional right-
of-way along the south boundary of the plat, between the new Road A west to the southwest
corner of the site. The PUD revision authorizing R-8 design standards also contributes to
compatibility, as many adjoining uses are also zoned R-8.
All other adverse impacts discernible from the record are also fully mitigated.
6. Superiority in Design. The proposed PUD design is superior to that which would be allowed
under applicable subdivision regulations. This finding is based upon Staff's assessment and
conclusions. Unfortunately, the record does not directly provide much information on how staff came
to its conclusions on superiority in design, but given the Staff's expertise and the lack of any evidence
to the contrary the staff conclusions are adopted.
At page 11, the Staff Report notes several reasons why the design is superior, but does not link these
reasons to any specific design features. First, the Staff Report notes that proposed plat layout
provides for the protection of the steep slope area to the east. Given that the PUD proposes that 50%
of the open space of the urban separator designation be set aside for open space and that the same
would be required for a subdivision anyway, it is difficult to understand from the record how the PUD
protection of the steep slopes is superior to that which would already be required for a subdivision.
The Staff Report also notes that the PUD exceeds open space requirements by placing the steep
slopes within the open space tract. While the placement of the steep slopes within the open space
tract is technically not required, it is difficult to conceive of any set of circumstances for this
subdivision where the developer would have any incentive to reduce his developable space by placing
the open space away from the steep slopes. The PUD design does provide for a trail along the steep
slope that provides separation from five lots beyond that required by the City's critical areas
ordinance. Given the amount of open space required already, the trail separation does not appear to
be a major improvement over what would be required of a subdivision.
Second, the Staff Report notes that as conditioned the PUD would provide for recreational amenities
beyond code requirements. Elsewhere, the Staff Report notes that the open space will include a
pergola, landscaping, two picnic tables and a soft surface trail system. These are presumably all
amenities that exceed code standards and thus support a finding of superior design.
Third, the Staff Report notes that the plat layout increases the quality of the internal circulation
system throughout the development. This in part appears to be accomplished by an internal pathway
that connects the sidewalks of the subdivision. It is not otherwise clear from the record how the
quality of internal circulation has been enhanced by the proposed PUD.
Fourth, the Staff Report notes that the proposed subdivision is a significant improvement over a
design that would meet both the R- I and R-14 standards. The Staff Report notes that proposed
design can provide for the aforementioned amenities because of the development standard
modifications recommended by Staff in the Staff Report Table A. The Staff Report does not identify
how the modifications result in superior design. A primary design enhancement from the PUD

modifications appears to be conformance to the residential design standards of the R-8 zone as
conditioned, which apparently provides for stricter design guidelines in some respects than that
required of the R-1 or R-14 zone, promotes compatibility of design between the interior R-1 and R-14
districts (although there is only one lot in the R-1 zone) and also provides for greater compatibility in
design with adjoining R-8 uses. The requested Iot size and setback modifications allow for a
clustered R-8 development that provides increased protection of critical areas creating an appearance
of openness. The reduced density applied from the R-8 zone further contributes to this openness. In
order to maintain sufficient separation between buildings, the conditions of approval require the
Applicants to meet the R-8 side yard setbacks, as such all structures will maintain a minimum of 10
feet of separation. This spacing allows for emergency access and sufficient fire separation.
Aesthetics and parking is further enhanced by a condition requiring garage setbacks that exceed those
of the R-8 district by three feet.
7. Public Benefit. The proposal provides several public benefits as detailed in Table B of the
Staff Report, adopted and incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full with the caveat that, as
previously discussed, the PUD does not appear to provide for more open space than would otherwise
already be required for a standard subdivision subject to the Urban Separator designation.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Procedural:
1. Authority. RMC 4-7-020(C) and 4-7-050(D)(5) provide that the Hearing Examiner shall hold
a hearing and issue a final decision on preliminary plat applications. RMC 4-9-150(F)(8) authorizes
the Examiner to conduct hearings and make final decisions on planned urban development
applications.
Substantive:
2. tonin r Comprehensive Plan Designations. The project is divided into two zoning
designations: R-14 and R-1. The comprehensive plan map land use designation for the R-14 Zone is
Residential Single Family (RSF) while the R-1 Zone is Residential Low Density (RLD).
3. Review Criteria. The Renton Municipal Code does not clearly identify the criteria the
Examiner must apply in assessing a subdivision or a PUD. Chapter 4-7 RMC governs the criteria for
subdivision review and RMC 4-9-150 governs PUD criteria. Without any more specific code
guidance, the Examiner concludes that he must find that all applicable criteria in Chapter 4-7 and
RMC 4-9-150 must be satisfied for preliminary plat and PUD approval. Applicable standards are
quoted below in italics and applied through corresponding conclusions of law.
RMC 4-7-080(B): A subdivision shall be consistent with the following principles of acceptability:
1. Legal Lots_ Create legal building sites which comply with all provisions of the City Zoning Code.

2. Access: Establish access to a public road for each segregated parcel.
3. Physical Characteristics: Have suitable physical characteristics. A proposed plat may be denied
because offlood, inundation, or welland Conditions. Construction of protective improvements may be
required as a Condition of approval, and such improvements shall be noted on the final plat.
4. Drainage: Make adequate provision for drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water
supplies and sanitary wastes.
4. As modified by the PUD regulations, the lots will comply with all requirements of the Zoning
Code. As noted in the project description, Finding of Fact No. 3, and as depicted in Ex. 2, all lots
have access to a public street, Road A. The project is not located within a floodplain and there are no
wetlands or streams impacted. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 4, the project makes adequate
provision for drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water supplies and sanitary wastes.
RMC 4-7-080(I)(1): ...The Hearing Examiner shall assure conformance with the general purposes
of the Comprehensive Plan and adopted standards...
5. The proposed preliminary plat is consistent with the Renton Comprehensive Plan as outlined
in Section 6(a) of the Staff Report, which is incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full.
RMC 4-7-120(A): No plan for the replatting, subdivision, or dedication of any areas shall be
approved by the Hearing Examiner unless the streets shown therein are connected by surfaced road
or street (according to City specifications) to an existing street or highway.
6. The internal circulation system of the subdivision connects to South 55`x'
Street, an existing
public street.
RMC 4-7-120(B): The location of all streets shall conform to any adopted plans for streets in the
City.
7. The Staff Report and administrative record do not identify any applicable street plan or grid
system that would compel the connection of the interior streets to any other roads beyond South 55"'
Street. The aerial photo on page 2 of the Staff Report shows that there are no other roads in
proximity to the project that could be feasibly extended to the project. Given the extreme slopes that
adjoin the project it is highly unlikely that any other roads could ever connect to the project from the
east. The project is separated from a cul de sac to the northwest by residential development. The
project is slated to be connected to Wilson Park I's internal road to the north of the subject property.
RMC 4-7-120(C): If a subdivision is located in the area of an officially designed trail, provisions
shall be made for reservation of the right-of-way or for easements to the City for trail purposes.

8. The Staff Report and administrative record do not identify any officially designated trail in the
vicinity.
RMC 4-7-130(0): A plat, short plat, subdivision or dedication shall be prepared in conformance
with the following provisions:
1. Land Unsuitable.for Subdivision: Land which is found to be unsuitable for subdivision includes
land with features likely to be harmful to the safety and general health of the future residents (such as
lands adversely affected by flooding, steep slopes, or rock formations). Land which the Department
or the Hearing Examiner considers inappropriate for subdivision shall not be subdivided unless
adequate safeguards are provided against these adverse Conditions.
a. Flooding/Inundation: If any portion of the land within the boundary of a preliminary plat is
subject to flooding or Inundation, that portion of the subdivision must have the approval of the State
according to chapter 86.16 RCW before the Department and the Hearing Examiner shall consider
such subdivision.
b. Steep Slopes: A plat, short plat, subdivision or dedication which would result in the creation of a
lot or lots that primarily have slopes forty percent (40%) or greater as measured per RMC 4-3-
050J1a, without adequate area at lesser slopes upon which development may occur, shall not be
approved.
3. Land Clearing and Tree Retention: Shall comply with RHC 4-4-130, Tree Retention and Land
Clearing Regulations.
9. As determined in the Findings of Fact, significant protective measures and safeguards are
proposed and conditioned to ensure that the proposed development is adequately protected from the
geologic hazards of the site. As proposed and conditioned the project area is appropriate for
subdivision. As previously discussed there is no evidence in the record that there is any flooding
problem.
The property is encumbered by slopes in excess of 40%. As discussed in Findings of Fact No. 5 and
6, no lots will be created that are unsuitable for subdivision. The entire slope area will be placed in an
open space tract (Tract A). The conditions of approval will require the tract to be placed in a Native
Protection Area Easement.
In assessing compliance with RMC 4-4-130, the Staff Report only identifies trees on site that are of 6 -
inch caliper or larger. There is nothing in RMC 4-4-130 that limits tree retention to trees that of 6 -
inch caliper or higher. RMC 4-11-200 defines a tree as having a caliper of 2 inches or higher and the

tree retention requirements of RMC 4-4-130 do not provide for any exceptions for trees smaller than
six inches. It is possible that trees between two and six inches are not present on the site, but that's
not clear from the record and it would not be reasonable to make that inference. In addition to the
additional information recommended by Staff as identified in Finding of Fact No. 4(1)), the
Conditions of approval will also require that tree retention be applied to all trees with a two inch
caliper or greater.
RMC 4-7-1.40: Approval of all subdivisions located in either single family residential or multi-
family residential zones as defined in the Zoning Code shall be contingent upon the subdivider's
dedication of land or providing fees in lieu of dedication to the City, all as necessary to mitigate the
adverse effects of development upon the existing park and recreation service levels. The requirements
and procedures for this mitigation shall be per the City of Renton Parks Mitigation Resolution.
10. As outlined in Finding of Fact No. 4(D), the proposal meets both park and open space
requirements.
RMC 4-7-150(A): The proposed street system shall extend and create connections between existing
streets unless otherwise approved by the Public Works Department_ Prior to approving a street
system that does not extend or connect, the Reviewing Official shall ,find that such exception shall
meet the requirements of subsection E3 of this Section. The roadway classifications shall be as
defined and designated by the Department.
11. As discussed in Conclusion of Law No. 7, the only street that the project could connect to is
South 55th Street.
RMC 4-7-150(B): All proposed street names shall be approved by the City.
12. As Conditioned.
RMC 4-7-150(0): Streets intersecting with existing or proposed public highways, major or
secondary arterials shall be held to a minimum.
13. If South 55`h Street qualifies as an arterial, the project must by necessity connect to it or it
would otherwise only have one access point, through Wilson Park 1.
RMC 4-7-150(D): The alignment of all streets shall be reviewed and approved by the Public Works
Department_ The .street standards set by RMC 4-6-060 shall apply unless otherwise approved. Street
alignment offsets of less than one hundred twenty five feet (125) are not desirable, but may be
approved by the Department upon a showing of need but only after provision of 'all necessary safety
measures.

14. The Public Works Department has reviewed and approved the street alignment as noted in
Finding of Fact No. 4(G).
RMC 4-7-150(E):
1 _ Grid: A grid street pattern shall be used to connect existing and new development and shall be the
predominant street pattern in any subdivision permitted by this Section.
2. Linkages: Linkages, including streets, sidewalks, pedestrian or bike paths, shall be provided within
and between neighborhoods when they can create a continuous and interconnected network of roads
and pathways_ Implementation of this requirement shall comply with Comprehensive Plan
Transportation Element Objective T -A and Policies T-9 through T-1 6 and Community Design
Element, Objective CD -Mand Policies CD -50 and CD -60.
3. Exceptions:
a_ The grid pattern may be adjusted to a `flexible grid" by reducing the number of linkages or the
alignment between roads, where the following factors are present on site.-
i.
ite:
i. Infeasible due to topographical/environmental constraints,- andlor
ii. Substantial improvements are existing.
4. Connections: Prior to adoption of a complete grid street plan, reasonable connections that link
existing portions of the grid system shall be made. At a minimum, stub streets shall be required
within subdivisions to allow future connectivity_
5. Alley Access: Alley access is the preferred street pattern except for properties in the Residential
Low Density land use designation. The Residential Low Density land use designation includes the
RC, R-1, and R-4 zones. Prior to approval of a plat without alley access, the ReviewingOfficial shall
evaluate an alley layout and determine that the use of alley(s) is not feasible...
b_ Alternative Configurations: Offset or loop roads are the preferred alternative configurations.
7. Cul -de -Sac Streets: Cul-de-sac streets may only be permitted by the Reviewing Oficial where due
to demonstrable physical constraints no future connection to a larger street pattern is physically
possible.
15. As discussed in Conclusion of Law No. 7 there are no roads other than South 55h Street and
the Wilson Park I internal road with which the project could connect. No grid system is reasonably
feasible because existing development and the steep slopes to the east make any additional thru
streets impractical. Alley access is infeasible. Topography would make it difficult to configure the
plat to allow for alley access of all lots.

RMC 4-7-150(F): All adjacent rights-of-way and new rights-of-way dedicated as part of the plat,
including streets, roads, and alleys, shall be graded to their full width and the pavement and
sidewalks .shall be constructed as specified in the street standards or deferred by the
Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator or his/her designee.
16. As Conditioned.
RMC 4-7-150(G): Streets that may be extended in the event of,future adjacent platting shall be
required to be dedicated to the plat boundary line. Extensions of greater depth than an average lot
shall be improved with temporary turnarounds. Dedication of a full -width boundary street shall be
required In certain instances to facilitate future development.
17. As discussed in Conclusion of Law No. 7 there are no feasible street connections to the
project other than directly to South 55`h Street and the Wilson Park I plat as proposed.
4-7-160(A): Blocks shall be deep enough to allow two (2) tiers of lots, except where:
1. Abutting principal arterials defined in the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The location and extent of environmental constraints prevent a standard plat land configuration,
including size and shape of the parcel.
3. Prior to approval of single -tier lot configuration based on exceptions I and 2, the proponent must
demonstrate that a different layout or provisions of an alley system is not.feasible.
18. The steep slopes and the shape of the parcel could not accommodate two tiers of lots.
4-7-160(B): Where circumstances warrant, the Reviewing Official may require one or more public
crosswalks or walkways of not less than six feet (6) in width dedicated to the City to extend entirely
across the width oj'the block at locations deemed necessary. Such crosswalks or walkways shall be
paved for their entire width and length with a permanent surface and shall be adequately lighted at
the developer's cost.
19. As identified in Finding of Fact 4(E) sidewalks meeting the City's standards will extend along
both sides of Road A. There will also be a looped interior trail system. Proposed Road A does not
appear to warrant crosswalks due to its short length, but investigation of this issue by staff will be
made a condition of approval.
RMC 4-7-170(A): Insofar as practical, side lot lines shall be at right angles to street lines or radial
to curved street lines.
20. As depicted in Ex. 2, the side lines are in conformance with the requirement quoted above.

RMC 4-7-170(B): Each lot must have access to a public .street or road Access may be by private
access easement street per the requirements of the street standards.
21. Each lot will have access to Road A, which the Staff Report states, when completed, will be a
dedicated public road.
RMC 4-7-170(C): The size, shape, and orientation of lots shall meet the minimum area and width
requirements of the applicable zoning classification and shall be appropriate for the type of
development and use contemplated Further subdivision of ' lots within a plat approved through the
provisions ofthis Chapter must be consistent with the then -current applicable maximum density
requirement as measured within the plat as a whole.
22. The proposed plat results in less than allowable density in the R-14 portion of the lot and the
allowable density in the R-1 portion of the lot. As noted in Table A and Table C of the Staff Report,
the lot size, width and design will not meet the minimum requirements of the R-1 and R-14 districts.
Staff recommends the most appropriate zoning standards for this development conform to the R-8
Zone and the deviations approved under the PUD are in line with this recommendation. Any
deviations from minimum lot dimensions authorized by this decision are based upon compliance with
PUD criteria of RMC 4-9-150. For purposes of RMC 4-7-170(C), deviations approved by the PUD
standards should be considered to be consistent with the requirements of the applicable zoning
classification. As conditioned, the project will be required to conform to the R-8 Zone development
standards.
RMC 4-7-170(D): Width between side lot lines at their foremost points (i.e., the points where the
side lot lines intersect with the street right-of-way line) shall not be less than eighry percent (80%) of
the required lot width except in the cases of (1) pipestem lots, which shall have a minimum width of
twenty feet (20) and (2) lots on a street curve or the turning circle of cul -de -.sac (radial lots), which
shall be a minimum of thirty five. feet (35 ).
23. The "required lot width" for this project has been reduced by operation of the PUD standards,
RMC 4-9-150. As reduced and described in Table C of the Staff Report, the lot widths for each lot
are fairly consistent and the foremost lot lines are all at least 80% of lot width_ However, proposed
Lot 1 has less than the required 60 foot frontage. As modified through the PUD, the criterion is
satisfied.
RMC 4-7-170(E): All lot corners at intersections of dedicated public rights-of-way, except alleys,
shall have minimum radius offifteen feet (15).

watercourses, and similar community assets. Such natural features should he preserved, thereby
adding attractiveness and value to the property.
26. As conditioned, protected trees shall be retained or replaced as discussed in Finding of Fact
No. 5 and Conclusion of Law No. 9. The steep slopes will be protected by the City's critical areas
ordinance as well as the open space tract as discussed in Finding of Fact No. 4(D).
RMC 4-7-200(A): Unless septic tanks are specifically approved by the Public Works Department
and the King County Health Department, sanitary sewers shall be provided by the developer at no
cost to the City and designed in accordance with City standards_ Side sewer lines shall be installed
eight feet (8) into each lot if sanitary sewer mains are available, or provided with the subdivision
development_
27. As Conditioned.
RMC 4-7-200(B): An adequate drainage system shall be provided for the proper drainage of ' all
surface water. Cross drains .shall be provided to accommodate all natural water flow and shall be of
sufficient length to permit full -width roadway and required slopes. The drainage system shall be
designed per the requirements of RMC 4-6-030, Drainage (Surface Water) Standards. The drainage
system shall include detention capacity,for the new street areas. Residential plats shall also include
detention capacity for future development of the lots. Water quality features shall also be designed to
provide capacity, for the new street paving for the plat.
28. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 4(C), the proposal complies with the criterion above.
The Staff Report does not identify whether the project will comply with RMC 4-6-030 so compliance
will be made a condition of approval.
RMC 4-7-200(0): The water distribution system including the locations offire hydrants shall be
designed and installed in accordance with City standards as defined by the Department and Fire
Department requirements.
29. As Conditioned.
RMC 4-7-200(D): All utilities designed to serve the subdivision shall be placed underground. Any
utilities installed in the parking strip shall be placed in such a manner and depth to permit the
planting of trees. Those utilities to be located beneath paved surfaces shall be installed, including all

RMC 4-7-200(E): Any cable TV conduits shall be undergrounded at the same time as other basic
utilities are installed to serve each lot. Conduit.for service connections shall be laid to each lot line
by subdivider as to obviate the necessity for disturbing the street area, including sidewalks, or alley
improvements when such service connections are extended to serve any building. The cost of
trenching, conduit, pedestals and/or vaults and laterals as well as easements therefore required to
bring service to the development shall be borne by the developer and/or land owner. The subdivider
shall be responsible only for conduit to serve his development. Conduit ends shall be elbowed to final
ground elevation and capped. The cable TV company shall provide maps and specifications to the
subdivider and shall inspect the conduit and certify to the City that it is properly installed.

33. As shown in Table A of the Staff Report, the requested revisions are limited to the regulations
identified in the regulation quoted above.
RMC 4-9-150(D): The City may approve a planned urban development only if it finds that the
following requirements are met.
1. Demonstration of Compliance and Superiority Required: Applicants must demonstrate that a
proposed development is in compliance with the purposes of this Section and with the Comprehensive
Plan, that the proposed development will be superior to that which would result without a planned
urban development, and that the development will not be unduly detrimental to surrounding
properties.
34. The purposes of the PUD regulations, as outlined in RMC 4-9-150, are to preserve and protect
the natural features of the land and to encourage innovation and creativity in development of
residential uses. As outlined in Finding of Fact No. 4 and 6 the natural features (the steep slope) of
the site are protected by open space and an internal trail. The consolidation of the open space
requirement with critical area protection, recreational use and the internal trail system involves
innovation and creativity. The use of R-8 zoning design standards to promote compatibility within
the two zoning designations of the project in addition to surrounding uses is also innovative and
creative. The project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as determined in Conclusion of Law
No. 5. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 6, the proposal is superior in design to what which
would occur without a PUD. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 4 and 5 the project will not create
any significant adverse impacts and so would not be unduly detrimental to surrounding properties.
RMC 4-9-150(D): The City may approve a planned urban development only if it finds that the
following requirements are met.
2. Public Benefit Required: In addition, Applicants shall demonstrate that a proposed development
will provide specifically identified benefits that clearly outweigh any adverse impacts or undesirable
effects of the proposed planned urban development, particularly those adverse and undesirable
impacts to surrounding properties, and that the proposed development will provide one or more of
the following benefits than would result from the development of the subject site without the proposed
planned urban development:
a. Critical Areas: Protects critical areas that would not be protected otherwise to the same
degree as without a planned urban development; or
b. Natural Features: Preserves, enhances, or rehabilitates natural features of the subject
property, such as significant woodlands, native vegetation, topography, or noncritical area
wildlife habitats, not otherwise required by other City regulations; or...

e. Overall Design: Provides a planned urban development design that is superior to the
design that would result from development of the subject property without a planned urban
development. A superior design may include the following:...
35. The proposal provides for public benefit as determined in Finding of Fact No. 7. These
benefits clearly outweigh any adverse impacts since there are no significant adverse impacts
associated with the proposal as determined in Finding of Fact No. 4 and 5. As previously concluded,
the proposal also provides for more protection of steep slopes than otherwise required by the
placement of the slopes in a significant amount of open space and as determined in Finding of Fact
No. 6, the PUD provides for a design superior to that which would otherwise be required.
RMC 4-9-150(D): The City may approve a planned urban development only if it finds that the
following requirements are met....
3. Additional Review Criteria: A proposed planned urban development shall also be reviewed for
consistency with all of the following criteria:
a. Building and Site Design.-
i.
esign:
i. Perimeter: Size, scale, mass, character and architectural design along the planned urban
development perimeter provide a suitable transition to adjacent or abutting lower density/intensity
zones. Materials shall reduce the potential for light and glare.
36. Proposed landscaping on the south boundary of Lot 10 would provide some screening of when
viewed from South 55th Street. Proposed plantings of the southeast corner of Lot 1 would provide
some incremental screening for Lot 1 when viewed from 55th Avenue South. The conditions of
approval require additional planting within the right-of-way along 55th Avenue South. This would
require dedication of additional right-of-way along the south boundary of the plat, between the new
Road A west to the southwest corner of the site.
As conditioned, the scale, mass, character and architectural design along the perimeter will be of a

ii. Interior Design: Promotes a coordinated site and building design. Buildings in groups should be
related by coordinated materials and roof styles, but contrast should be provided throughout a site by
the use of varied materials, architectural detailing, building orientation or housing type; e.g., single
family, townhouses, flats, etc.
37. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 6, the interior site design promotes quality pedestrian
circulation, increased critical area protection, and promotes safety by buffering the high landslide
hazards. All homes would be required to comply with the R-8 development design standards which
would result in coordinated, yet varied roof styles and materials, architectural detailing, and a variety
of home styles throughout the development.

46. Required parking would be provided within garages attached to each home. Additional guest
parking would be provided on the driveway aprons for each lot, particularly given the condition of
approval that requires an additional 3 feet of setback for garages. On -street parking would be
provided along the east side of Road A. The proposed parking is designed to provide efficient use of
the site and would be appropriately screen by the provided garages.
RMC 4-9-150(D)(4): Each planned urban development shall demonstrate compliance with the
development standards contained in subsection E of this Section, the underlying zone, and any
overlay districts; unless a modification for a specific development standard has been requested
pursuant to subsection B2 of this Section.
47. As discussed below, the proposal complies with all development standards imposed by RMC
4-9-150(E)_ As previously mentioned, Staff has recommended that the entire site be subject to the
development standards of the R-8 zone. The current zones are R-14 and R-1. Only one dwelling unit
is proposed for the R-1 zone portion. Nine are proposed for the R-14 zone. The total gross zoning is
proposed to be 6.4. well less than the density required for R-8 zone that Staff recommends. As
depicted in the plat maps, Ex. 2, the lots comply with the bulk and dimensional requirements of the
underlying zone except to the extent modified by the PUD regulations.
RMC 4-9-150(E)(1): Common Open Space Standard: Open space shall be concentrated in large
usable areas and may be designed to provide either active or passive recreation. Requirements for
residential, mixed use, commercial, and industrial developments are described below.

development site's gross land area.
i. Open space may include, but is not limited to, the following:
a) A trail that allows opportunity for passive recreation within a critical area buffer (only the square
footage of the trail shall be included in the open space area calculation), or
b) A sidewalk and its associated landscape strip, when abutting the edge of a critical area buffer and
when a part of a new public or private road, or
c) A similar proposal as approved by the reviewing official.
ii. Additionally, a minimum area equal to fifty (50) square feet per unit of common apace or
recreation area shall be provided in a concentrated space as illustrated in Figure 1.
48. In addition to private open space provided on each proposed lot, the Applicants have proposed
to provide a passive recreation area primarily located on the eastern portion of the site, and wrapping

space would include a pergola structure, landscaping and two picnic tables, a soft surface looped trail
system through the development, and would also comprise the steep slope area beyond to the north
and east. RMC 4-9-150E requires that PUD's provide large concentrated areas of open space,
equivalent to 10% of the site's gross area. The site is 93,801 sq. ft. and the provided open space tract
is 19,164 sq. ft, comprising approximately 20% of the site, and exceeding the open space standards by
9,784 square feet. The overall location and design of the park, open space and trail are located as to
create a quality open space/recreation area for the development, specifically if all conditions of
approval are met.
RMC 4-9-150(E)(2): Private Open Space: Each residential unit in a planned urban development
shall have usable private open space (in addition to parking, storage space, lobbies, and corridors)

substitute for the requiredprivate open space). For dwelling units which are exclusively upper story
units, there shall be deck areas totaling at least sixty (60) square feet in size with no dimension less
than five feet (5).
49. Each lot would have a private yard in both the front and the rear of the lot. The minimum side
yard setback in the requested R-8 zoning development standards is five feet, which could result in a
private open space yard that is less than 15 feet in every dimension. However, the lots sizes are large
enough to meet this standard. As a condition of approval, compliance with this standard shall be
required at the building permit stage.
RMC 4-9-150(E)(3): Installation and Maintenance of Common Open Space:
a. Installation: All common area and open space shall be landscaped in accordance with the

H. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
1. Project Description/Background
The applicant proposes to subdivide an existing 2.15 acre parcel into 10 lots for the eventual
development of detached single family homes, and 1 tract (Tract A) for open space. The site is zoned
Residential -14 du/ac (R-14) & Residential - 1 du/ac (R-1). The existing underlying parcel is 93,801
square feet in size (2.15 acres) and contains 9,783 square feet of protected slopes (>40%). The R-1
City of Remun Community and Fconumic A meet Departmew _ Report to the ITeQritig F_x miner
1471SON PARK 1.I PLO'& PUD LUA12-013, ECF. PP, PP(,,D
PURI.IC HF:ARIN(; DATA. June 12, 2012 Page J of 31
Zone comprises 38,326 square feet (including the steep slope area), and the R-14 portion of the site is
55,474 square feet. Proposed density averages 6.4 dwelling units per acre across the site, with 9 lots
proposed in the R-14 area, & 1 lot proposed within the R-1.
Site soils consist of glacial till. Grading is proposed for the project such that 820 cubic yards would be
cut and 11,200 cubic yards of imported material would be used to fill the site.
An underground stormwater vault was previously approved for Wilson Park I to be within the roadway
on the subject site. The vault is being revised to accommodate the additional stormwater generated
by the proposal.
A Planned Urban Development is proposed in order to modify development regulations including
minimum lots size within the R-1 Zone to create consistently sized lots for detached single family
residential homes. Proposed lots would range in size from 5,560 square feet to 6,778 square feet.
A portion of the site is subject to the Talbot Urban Separator Overlay Regulations. That portion of the
site zoned R-1 is considered to be within the Urban Separator. Per RMC 4-3-110E2.a.ii, 50% of the
area within the Urban Separator must be dedicated as irrevocable open space. The applicant
proposes to retain 19,164 square feet, or 50% of the site as open space within Tract A. This tract
would also provide for open space and recreation opportunities to serve the public and the residents
of both Wilson Park developments. An approximate 350 square foot area would be provided with
ornamental landscaping, a pergola or gazebo, and hard surface path. A soft -surface, 3 -foot wide
walking path would be provided along the north and east boundaries of Lot 6, and along the east
boundary of Lots 7 through 10. The path would wrap around the south boundary of Lot 10 and
intersect with the sidewalk on the East side of Road A. Ornamental and native landscape plants are
proposed within the tract.
Access would be provided from South 55th Street via new street (Road A) constructed as part of the
approved Wilson Park I plat. The street was identified as being within an easement across the subject
site. With the project, the street would be dedicated and the easement would not be necessary.
Street improvements including curb, gutter, 5 -foot sidewalks, an 8 -foot planting strip would be
provided along both sides of Road A. This is considered to be a Residential Access street, and parking
would be allowed on one side of the street.
A small hydrologically isolated, unregulated wetland is located on the western portion of the site
Exhibit XX). The site contains 82 trees, of which 21 would be removed for the construction of the
new street serving Wilson Park #1. An additional 51 trees would be removed for the project. Ten (10)
trees would be retained, and new ornamental and native trees would be planted including two new
trees per lot.
2. Environmental Review
Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971 as amended),
on May 7, 2012, the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non -Significance -
Mitigated (DNS -M) for the Wilson Park II Plat and Planned Urban Development (Exhibits 4, 5). The
DNS -M included 7 mitigation measures (Exhibit 6). A 14 -day appeal period commenced on May 11,
2012 and ended on May 25, 2012. No appeals of the threshold determination have been filed.

PUBLIC NEARING DATE: June 12, 2012 Page b of 31
3. Compliance with ERC Conditions
Based on an analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, the Environmental Review Committee
ERC) issued the following mitigation measures with the Determination of Non -Significance —
Mitigated:
1. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations contained in the Geotechnical
Engineering Study, prepared by Liu & Associates, Inc. dated November 22, 2004 and
amended February 15, 2012, for the duration of project construction.
2. The applicant shall provide a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Plan designed
pursuant to the Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements
outlined in Volume 11 of the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual and provide staff
with a Construction Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of construction permits. This
mitigation measure shall be subject to review and approval of the Development
Services Division.
3. The applicant shall provide weekly reports on the status and condition of the erosion
control plan with any recommendations of change or revision to maintenance
schedules or installation shall be submitted by the Project Engineer of record to the
Public Works inspector.
4. Because of moisture -sensitive fine-grained soils mantling the site and the higher
gradient areas within the site the geotechnical study recommends that grading and
foundation construction be carried out and completed within the dryer period of the
year from April 1 through October 31 unless otherwise approved by the Development
Services Division. Therefore, the applicant shall adhere to a construction schedule
involving grading and foundation work during the dryer period of the year.
5. The applicant shall pay a Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per each new single
family lot prior to recording the final plat.
6. The applicant shall be required to pay a Traffic Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each
new average daily vehicle trip associated with the proposed project prior to recording
of the final plat.
7. The applicant shall be required to pay a Fire Mitigation Fee based on $488.00 per each
new single family lot prior to recording the final plat.
4. Staff Review Comments
Representatives from various City departments have reviewed the application materials to identify
and address issues raised by the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official
file, and the essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this
report and the Departmental Recommendation at the end of the report.

5. Consistency with the Planned Urban Development Regulations
a) Compliance with the Underlying Zoning Designation (Code provisions restricted from
modification through the PUD process):
The subject site is designated R-1 and R-14 on the City of Renton Zoning Map (Exhibit 2). The
proposed development would allow for a 10 -lot, 1 -tract subdivision of an 2.15 acre site (Exhibit
3)-
i. Use: A planned urban development may not authorize uses that are inconsistent with
those allowed by the underlying zone. The applicant is proposing the development of
single family homes. Both the R-1 and R-14 Zones permit detached dwellings.
ii. Density: The number of dwellings units shall not exceed the density allowances of the
applicable base zone. The R-1 Zone allows a density of 1.0 dwelling units per gross acre.
The R-14 Zone allows a maximum density of 14 dwelling units per net acre. According to
the density worksheet (Exhibit 7) submitted with the application, the proposed project
would have a net density of 6.4 dwelling units per net acre and, therefore, complies with
the density requirement. Code Interpretation CI -30 (Exhibit 8) allows for properties with
more than one zoning classification to be allowed to average residential density across the
site provided this is accomplished through the Planned Urban Development process. This
Code Interpretation has been posted on the City's webpage for a 14 -day comment period,
and the appeal period for the interpretation ends at 5:00 pm on June 14, 2012. In order to
ensure that only one dwelling unit is constructed on each lot within the R-14 Zone, staff
recommends that the applicant be required to place a restrictive covenant on each of the

Comment: If the conditions of approval are met, the applicant will have demonstrated
compliance with the PUD regulations and the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant will
have demonstrated that the development is superior to that which would result without
a PUD and will not be detrimental to surrounding properties. The development of this
site as a PUD results in a superior design than would result by the strict application of the
Development Standards for many reasons. First, the proposed plat layout provides for a
the protection of the steep slope area to the east. Second, the plat would provide for
recreational amenities beyond code requirements. Third, the plat layout increases the
quality of the internal circulation system throughout the development. Fourth, the

PUBLIC BENEFIT PROVIDED: CRITICAL AREAS, NATURAL FEATURES & OVERALL DESIGN
CRITICAL AREAS:
The site contains steep slopes greater than 40% which is termed to be a geotechnical hazard. The City
critical areas regulations provide for protections to these features, however the proposed
development increases these protections by protecting the steep slope within a tract that would also
serve as the common open space and recreation area. A trail provided on the flat area of the tract
would separate five of the new lots from the steep slope area. The open space tract would also
connect to a comparable open space tract on Wilson Park I that was set aside to address requirements
of the Urban Separator Overlay Regulations (RMC4-3-110E, 2.a.ii). Both the subject plat and Wilson
Park I are required to set aside 50% of the area of the site located within the Talbot Urban Separator
as a non -revocable open space tract. For Wilson Park II, the Urban Separator is assigned to 38,326
square feet. The project proposes to set aside 19,164 square feet, or 50% of this area.
Staff recommends that the applicant record a Native Growth Protection Area Easement over the tract
such that it is not disturbed.
NATURAL FEATURES:
The site is currently undeveloped. The site contains a total of 82 trees of 6 -inch caliper or larger, 21
are within the proposed public right-of-way, and 3 are located in critical areas and their buffers
resulting in 58 protected trees on site (Exhibit 9, 10). Of these, 21 trees are within the R-1 zone, and
37 trees within the R-14 zoned portions of the property. The R-1 zone requires 30 percent tree
retention of the protected trees on site, while the R-14 requires 10 percent tree retention. At a 30
percent retention rate in the R-1 zone, 6 trees would be required to be retained. At 10 percent
retention rate in the R-14 zone, 4 trees would need to be retained. This is a total of 10 trees required
to be retained. The applicant has identified 10 trees that would be retained thus meeting the
requirement. In addition, the applicant proposes to plant 40 new trees on site, which includes street
trees within the right-of-way and ornamental trees within Tract "A" the common open space and
Native Growth Protection Area Easement.
The applicant's provided conceptual landscape plan (Exhibit 11) indicates proposed ornamental trees,
shrubs, and groundcover includes the proposed locations for the plantings. For the street trees, the
applicant proposes Parrotia persica (Persian Ironwood trees), 1-1/2" caliper; with two planted for each
of Lots 1 through 9. Cercis Canadensis (Forest Pansy Redbud trees), 1-1/2" caliper are proposed at the
entrance to the plat along the south side of Lot 1 and within the right-of-way for Lot 10. Thuja plicata
Western Red Cedar trees), 6 -foot high, are proposed along the south boundary of Tract A/Lot 10,
along the proposed walking path. Tsuga heterophylla (Western hemlock), 6 -foot high, are proposed
between the common boundary between Lots 6, 7, 8 and the common open space tract, where the
walking path is provided. The proposed plant palette also contains Mahonia aquifolium (Tall Oregon
Grape), Ribes sanguineum (Red Flowering Currant) as shrubs and Arcostaphylos uva-ursi (Kinnikinnick),
Gaultheria shallon (Salal) and Polystichum munitum (Sword fern) as ground cover.
The conceptual landscape plan is acceptable provided that additional trees are proposed on the south
side of Lot 1 within the right-of-way, and within the right-of-way for the street improvements along
South
55th
Street. As such, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant provide a

detailed final landscape pian that shall be submitted and approved by the Current Planning Project
Manaizer prior to final PUD approval.
OVERALL DESIGN:
1. Open Space/Recreation: In addition to private open space provided on each proposed lot, the
applicant has proposed to provide a passive recreation area primarily located on the eastern
portion of the site, and wrapping around the north part of Lot 6 and the south boundary of Lot
10. This 19,154 square foot (0.44 acre) open space would include a pergola structure,
landscaping and two picnic tables, a soft surface looped trail system through the development,
and would also comprise the steep slope area beyond to the north and east. RMC 4-9-150E
requires that PUD's provide large concentrated areas of open space, equivalent to 10% of the
site's gross area. The site is 93,801 sq. ft. and the provided open space tract is 19,154 sq. ft,
comprising approximately 20% of the site, and exceeding the open space standards by 9,784
square feet. The overall passive and active recreation opportunities proposed for the subject
development are beyond the standard code requirements. The proposed open space and
recreation on the site provide the opportunity for passive recreation. The looped trail system
is approximately 510 lineal feet long, offering the opportunity for walking.
However, it should be noted that the split -rail fence or pergola/gazebo designs are not
reflected on the Landscape Plan or the Plat Plan, as such staff recommends a condition of
approval that the applicant provide a detail of the proposed pergola/gazebo and fence design
and location as a part of the final detailed landscape plan. These details shall be submitted
and approved by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to final PUD approval.
2. Circulation: The proposed preliminary plat provides for an appropriate pedestrian circulation
system. In addition to the proposed soft surface pedestrian path, discussed above, the
applicants have proposed sidewalks along Road A consistent with the residential character of
the development. Comments received from surrounding property owners concern the ability
of school buses to safely serve the Wilson Park Il plat. The applicant has observed that
presently school buses travel east on
55th
Avenue South in the morning, stopping in
55th
Avenue South to pick-up students. The buses then travel west in the afternoon, stopping in
55th
Avenue South to drop-off students. However, upon inquiry with the Renton School
District, it was determined that these are actually Kent School District (KSD) buses that serve
students attending schools in the Kent School District, for properties on the south side of South
55th
Street. The subject site is actually within the Renton School District (RSD). RSD busses do
not travel on South
55th
Street, and the closest school bus stop is located at the intersection of
South
55th
Street and Talbot Road South, approximately 700 feet to the west. Staff
recommends that the project provide for an asphalt walking path from the entrance of the
development (on the north side of South
55th
Street) to the intersection of Talbot/S.
551h,
in
order to facilitate walking to and from the bus stop.
In addition to sidewalks and the proposed pedestrian path, the proposed preliminary plat also
provides for appropriate vehicle circulation system. The road system connects with the Wilson
Park Plat located immediately to the north. The road was originally approved as part of Wilson
Park and has'not yet been constructed. Wilson Park I is dependent upon the construction of
this road, as is Wilson Park 11. Staff recommends that if Wilson Park II moves forward prior to
Wilson Park I, that the public street be constructed with an approved emergency turnaround.

PUBLIC HEARING DATE: June 12. 2012 Page l5 of 31
I Landscaping/Screening: The proposed landscape plan for the entire site, and in particular the
open space tract is superior to what would be required by Renton's Municipal Code, as
discussed above under "Natural Features".
4. Site and Building Design: The qualities of the proposed site design has been addressed above
under, "Critical Areas", "Natural Features", and the subsections of "Overall Design". The above
comments address such things as road design and pedestrian circulation, critical areas
protection and enhancement, as well as increased landscaping and recreational opportunities.
All these amenities contribute to the overall superior site design. The 10 proposed lots are
accessed off a public street, and would be representative of a typical plat for detached single
family homes. Homes would be subject to the Residential Design Standards, and as such no
building design is required at this time. The proposal would protect the environmentally
critical areas, and passive recreational opportunities are proposed.
5. The orientation of the lots allows for access to solar energy, as all of the lots are east/west.
All homes will be subject to the residential design standards. Since the plat is most
representative of plats designed to meet R-8 zone, staff recommends that the homes within
the plat meet the R-8 residential design standards with minor modifications. For example,
staff suggests that garages be setback a minimum of 18 feet from the back of the sidewalk to
allow appropriate area for apron parking. Compliance with these standards will be reviewed at
the time of building permit application. Due to the level of detail needed to identify
compliance with the residential design standards this review is best left for building permit
stage.
b. Alleys: The proposal is for a single two single tiers of lots front on an existing road easement
approved as part of the Wilson Park I Plat. An alley configuration is not possible given the
existing road location.
iii. Building and Site Design:
Perimeter: Size, scale, mass, character and architectural design along the planned urban
development perimeter provide a suitable transition to adjacent or abutting lower
density/intensity zones. Materials shall reduce the potential for light and glare.
Comment: Proposed landscaping on the south boundary of Lot 10 would provide some
screening of when viewed from South
55th
Street. Proposed plantings of the southeast
corner of Lot 1 would provide some incremental screening for Lot 1 when viewed from
55th
Avenue South. Additional planting within the right-of-way should be provided
along
55th
Avenue South. This would require dedication of additional right-of-way
along the south boundary of the plat, between the new Road A west to the southwest
corner of the site.
The scale, mass, character and architectural design would be of a detached single family
residential development. Due to the existing split zoning of the parcel (both R-1 and R-
14 Zone) staff recommends as a condition of approval that the project not conform to
either the R-1 or the R-14 Residential Design standards; rather that the project be
required to comply with the Residential Design Standards applied to the R-8 Zone
resulting in a compatible size, scale, mass, character and architectural design for the

PUBLIC HEARIAG DATE: June 12. 2012 Page 16 Qf 31
overall development. The proposed lot sizes are comparable with the R-8 Zone, and
the development would be most like R-8 development.
Interior Design: Promotes a coordinated site and building design. Buildings in groups
should be related by coordinated materials and roof styles, but contrast should be
provided throughout a site by the use of varied materials, architectural detailing,
building orientation or housing type.
Comment: As mentioned above in Table B, the interior site design promotes quality
pedestrian and vehicular circulation, increased critical area protection, promotes safety
and by buffering the steep slopes area. All homes would be required to comply with
the R-8 development design standards which would result in coordinated, yet varied
roof styles and materials, architectural detailing, and a variety of home styles
throughout the development.
iv. Circulation:
Provides sufficient streets and pedestrian facilities: The planned urban development shall
have sufficient pedestrian and vehicle access commensurate with the location, size and
density of the proposed development. All public and private streets shall accommodate
emergency vehicle access and the traffic demand created by the development as
documented in a traffic and circulation report approved by the City. Vehicle access shall
not be unduly detrimental to adjacent areas.
Comment: The subdivision would gain access from 55th
Avenue South. A new street
constructed for Wilson Park I bisects the two single tiers of lots and connects to the
Wilson Park I site immediately abutting and north of Wilson Park H. All of the proposed
lots and the open space tract would have access to the public street. Proposed
pavement width is 25 feet, which allows parking on one side of the street. Staff
recommends that the parking be allowed on the east side of the street in order to
address concerns expressed during SEPA review regarding the direction that vehicles
would be parked based on travel patterns.
Five-foot wide sidewalks and 8 -foot wide landscape strips are proposed on both sides of
the street. In addition, a 3 -foot wide walking path is proposed across the north, east and
south portions of the eastern tier of lots. Most of this path is within Tract A, with the
exception of a section along the south boundary of Lot 10. The walking path would be
concrete near the proposed gazebo on the north portion of the site and soft surface for
the remainder of the pathway within the open space tract. Staff recommends that the
section on the south side of Lot 10 be revised to meander within the landscaped area in
the side yard of Lot 10.
The PUD would have sufficient pedestrian and vehicle access based on the location, size
and density of the development, if all conditions of approval are met. See Table B,
Public Benefit, subsection: Overall Design 2. Circulation above for additional discussion
on pedestrian and vehicle circulation.
Frontage improvements are required along South
55th
Street. The property has frontage
in two locations, where the proposed street intersects South 55th
Street, and where a
portion of Tract A fronts on South 55th
Street. In both cases, the applicant is required to
construct curb, gutter, 5 -foot wide sidewalks, and an 8 -foot wide planting strip. The

applicant's proposal indicates a 5 -foot wide sidewalk along South
55th
Street on the
south side of Lot 1. No planting strip is proposed within the South
55th
Street right-of-
way. No street improvements are proposed within the right-of-way for South
55th
Street
for the portion where Tract A fronts on the street (Exhibit 2, 11). Staff recommends that
the applicant be required to provide the required street improvements and landscaping,
and that these be shown on the construction engineering plans, and final detailed
landscape plan, during the Final PUD and Final Plat process.
The internal street is designed to accommodate emergency vehicle access and the traffic
generated by the project, provided that the street connects through Wilson Park I. In the
event that Wilson Park I is not constructed concurrent or prior to Wilson Park II, then the
applicant should be required to provide an emergency turnaround within the plat.
Promotes safety: Promotes safety through sufficient sight distance, separation of vehicles
from pedestrians, limited driveways on busy streets, avoidance of difficult turning
patterns, and minimization of steep gradients.
Comment: The applicant submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis Report (Exhibit 12)
prepared by TraffEx (Northwest Traffic Experts, dated June 23, 2009 and supplemented
January 25, 2012). The report indicates that the proposal would utilize the same access
to South
55th
Street s the approved Wilson Park I Plat. The site access street intersects
South
55th
Street on the outside of a horizontal curve on South
55th
Street to optimize
sight distance in both the east and west direction for vehicles entering and exiting the
site. The report also indicates that the horizon year for the study is considered to be
2014, as that is the year construction of both plats is anticipated. The study indicated
the increase in traffic with the proposal and determined that the traffic would operate at
acceptable levels at the intersection of South
55th
Street and the new street within the
plat. The Level -of -Service (LOS) with the project was determined to be LOS B for future
2014 conditions.
Previously, the site distance on South
55th
Street was evaluated as part of Wilson Park I.
It was determined then that the City of Renton intersection and stopping sight distance
requirements in both the east and west directions would be met.
Comments received from surrounding property owners concern the ability of school
buses to safely serve the plat (Exhibit 14). The applicant has observed that presently
school buses travel east on South
55th
Street in the morning, stopping in South
55th
Street to pick-up students. The buses then travel west in the afternoon, stopping in
South
55th
to drop-off students. While it was originally anticipated that this practice
would continue with the project, and that children would wait together for pick-up, an
inquiry to the Renton School District (RSD) revealed that these are actually Kent School
District buses, which do not serve the subject plat. RSD does not operate on South 55th
Street, and would require that students walk approximately 700 feet to the west to be
picked up at the corner of South
55th
Street and Talbot Road South. In order to provide
an appropriate safe route to schools, staff recommends that the applicant be required to
provide a walking path within the improved right-of-way, with a minimum 5 -foot asphalt
path, on the north side of South
55th
Street, from the entrance to the plat to the
intersection of South
55th
Street and Talbot Road South separated from the traffic lane

by C -curb. This should be installed at the time that street and utility improvements are
being installed.
A lighting plan was not included in the applicant's submittal packet; therefore, it is not
clear how the proposed pedestrian pathways would be illuminated at night. Although,
staff recommends that the area near the concrete path and pergola be illuminated at
night, staff further recommends that the soft surface trail be unlit or minimally lit at
night. Staff recommends, as a condition of approval, that the applicant submit a lighting
plan for review and approval by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to utility
construction. The lighting plan shall contain pedestrian lighting in addition to building
and landscaping lighting if proposed.
The proposed development would result in one driveway for each new lot. In addition,
one access point is proposed from South 55th Street to the development, Road A. An
additional emergency access is provided within Wilson Park I to South
55th
Street. Based
on the road width, parking would be permitted on one side of the new street. Staff
recommends that parking be allowed on the east side, in order to acknowledge
customary use and anticipated circulation. These design considerations/requirements
would result in a circulation system that would avoid difficult turning patterns, minimizes
steep gradients and minimize driveways on busy streets.
Once the applicant has fulfilled the conditions of approval (noted above); the promotion
of safety could be accomplished.
Provision of a system of walkways: Walkways that tie residential areas to recreational
areas, transit, public walkways, schools, and commercial activities.
Comment: See Table B "Public Benefit, Subsection: Overall Design 1 and 2" above.
The site is somewhat isolated and is constrained by topography. Street frontage
improvements along
55th
Avenue South would not tie into other existing sidewalk or
walkway systems. The internal pathway would provide internal circulation and would
connect to the sidewalks within the plat. There is no school bus stop for the Renton
School District in close proximity. According to the Renton School District, the closest
bus stop is located at the corner of Talbot Road and
55th
Ave South, approximately 700
feet to the west of the entrance road. The site is constrained by natural topographical
features and connections to surrounding areas are difficult due to the topography and
the
55th
Ave South. The subject site is located on periphery of the City boundary, and is
relatively isolated from commercial zoned property. There is no existing access to
commercial development in or near the subject site and no new access proposed for
pedestrians.
Provides safe efficient access for emergency vehicles:
Comment: If the roadways are designed per recommended standards (Exhibit 2), the
development would provide safe, efficient access for emergency vehicles. However, if
the subject plat is constructed without Wilson Park I or prior to Wilson Park I, there
would not be a sufficient turning radius for emergency vehicles and a temporary
emergency vehicle turnaround would need to be provided on site. Therefore, staff
recommends as a condition of approval that in the event that Wilson Park I is not
constructed and recorded first or at all, Wilson Park 11 shall be required to provide
City of Renton Communi1y and Econumic LX Ment 1)eparhnent Report to the Hearing Examiner

appropriate emergency access, per the review and approval of the Development Service
Project Manager and the Fire Marshal. This shall be accomplished by providing an
acceptable emergency vehicle turnaround, prior to the recording of the plat.
V. infrastructure and Services: Provides utility services, emergency services, and other
improvements, existing and proposed, which are sufficient to serve the development.
Comment: Water service for the development would be provided by the Soos Creek
Water and Sewer District. Water availability certificates will be required from the Soos
Creek Water & Sewer District prior to Construction Permit. Based on the provided
Conceptual Utilities Plan (Exhibit 13), there is an existing sewer main located in
55th
Avenue South. The applicant has proposed to connect to this existing main and extend
an 8 -inch sanitary sewer line to provide sewer to the development. This plan sheet also
identifies an 8 -inch water line extension from
55th
Avenue South through the subject plat
and to the Wilson Park I plat located to the north. With receipt of the water availability
certificate, the development could provide sufficient service to the lots.
Fire protection would be provided by the City of Renton Fire Department.
New impervious surfaces would result in surface water runoff increases. A Technical
Information Report (dated May 5, 2009) was prepared by Baima and Holmberg Inc, for
the previous Wilson Park I Plat. An addendum to this report was prepared by Offe
Engineers, PLLC on February 28, 2012 to consider the current proposal. The May 2009
report includes an analysis of upstream tributary drainage which states that the parcel to
the east drains onto the site, with no problems related to runoff. The Level 1
Downstream Drainage Analysis in the report states that runoff from the site flows west
into lots in the adjacent Geneva Court development. The majority of the existing runoff
from Wilson Park It collects along the west property line via sheet flow and continues
downstream over the vacant property to the west. This flow collects in a stormwater
pond/bioswale facility located at the intersection of Talbot Road South and South
53rd
Place approximately 750 feet downstream from the site. This facility outfalls through an
18 -inch pipe to the west side of Talbot Road South into a poorly defined channel flowing
into the woods. The flows then pass through a 12 -inch culvert under a walking path and
continue to flow west to a wooded wetland area more than a quarter mile downstream
from the site. Flows into the ditch along South
55th
Street continue west in a rock lined
channel along the north side of the street to the intersection of Talbot Road South and
South
55th
Street. The channel is eroded and shows signs of flowing into the street.
Flows from the ditch along Talbot Road South collect in the storm system about 850 feet
downstream from the site eventually flowing into Springbrook Creek at about 1,800 feet
downstream from the site. The Creek continues flowing west to about one-half mile
downstream of the site where it enters a box culvert crossing SR 157. The Technical
Information Report indicates that there are no apparent drainage problems.
The amended February 28, 2012 report evaluates the addition of the subject 10 -lot plat.
The original stormwater system for Wilson Park I and located within the street that
would serve both Wilson Park I and II was sized to accommodate Wilson Park I lots and
the new streets including the access street located within Wilson Park II. The addendum
provides calculations intended to evaluate the sizing of the storm treatment facility for
the two projects. The report notes that City of Renton's 2009 Drainage Manual requires

PUBLICHEARING DATE. June 12. 2012 Page 20 of 31
Best Management Practices (BMP's) for new developments. One BMP's is to restrict
impervious areas on future lots to help reduce runoff, mitigate for development, and
minimize the treatment system needed for the project. This is known as a "Restrictive
Covenant" provision and was utilized as part of a preliminary sizing of the future system
for both Wilson Park 1 and II. The applicant intends to utilize the Restrictive Covenant
provision and limit impervious surface on each of the new lots in both Wilson Park I and
II to 3,300 square feet per lot. By limiting the impervious area for homes, patios,
driveways and walkways, the proposed stormwater vault will be of an appropriate size to
accommodate both developments. The applicant has also intended to develop both
plats at the same time.
Comments received from surrounding property owners (Exhibit 14) expressed concern as
to whether the vault was sized appropriately to accommodate both projects. The
applicant has stated that the vault is sized to the 2009 drainage manual and will provide
the necessary volume and capacity for both projects.
vi. Clusters or Building Groups and Open Space: An appearance of openness created by
clustering, separation of building groups, and through the use of well-designed open space
and landscaping, or a reduction in amount of impervious surfaces not otherwise required.
Comment: The uniqueness of the zoning of the site, in addition to the area affected by
steep slopes, results in a necessity to cluster development. The slope results in the
preservation of open space in the form of a Native Growth Protection Area Easement as
well as recreation space. The requested lot size and setback modification allow for a
clustered R-8 development that provides increased protection of critical areas creating an
appearance of openness. This also allows for a more cohesive design rather than
attempting to design for two different residential density designations on one site. (See
additional discussion above in Table B "Public Benefit, Subsections: Critical Areas and
Natural Features".) As noted in the previous sections, the proposed development would
have usable passive recreation, including open space and landscaping. In order to
maintain sufficient separation between buildings, staff recommends that the applicant be
required to meet the R-8 side yard setbacks, as such all structures will maintain a
minimum of 10 feet of separation. This spacing allows for emergency access and
sufficient fire separation.
vii. Privacy and Building Separation: Provides internal privacy between dwelling units, and
external privacy for adjacent dwelling units. Each residential or mixed use development
shall provide visual and acoustical privacy for dwelling units and surrounding properties.
Fences, insulation, walks, barriers, and landscaping are used, as appropriate, for the
protection and aesthetic enhancement of the property, the privacy of site occupants and
surrounding properties, and for screening of storage, mechanical or other appropriate
areas, and for the reduction of noise. Windows are placed at such a height or location or
screened to provide sufficient privacy. Sufficient light and air are provided to each
dwelling unit.
Comment: The context of the subdivision, it's location in relation to existing
development, and the topography of the site provide for privacy. Within the subdivision,
unit to unit privacy would be provided by the side yard setback requirement. Exhibit XX
shows that applicant has indicated that a split -rail fence would be used to define the area

PUBLIC HE4RING DATE; June I2. 1012 Pane 21 of 3I
between the back and side yard area of the lots and the soft surface pathway within Tract
A. No specific fence detail has been provided, and there could be a tendency for future
residents to construct privacy fences abutting the split -rail fence. Therefore staff
recommends that the applicant provide a fence detail with the final landscape plan that
is subject to the review and approval of the Current Planning Project Manager.
Street trees are required either within the required landscape strip or in the front yard of
the lot. As discussed above under Table B "Public Benefit, Subsections: Critical Areas and
Natural Features'; the proposed walkways and landscaping are appropriate for the
protection and aesthetic enhancement of the property.
All homes would be required to be designed to meet the residential design standards for
the R-8 zone. These standards would require windows on the front of the home,
increasing access to light and air for each dwelling unit. Furthermore, each lot would
have private front, side and rear yards, enhancing each lot with landscaping and access to
light and air.
viii. Building Orientation: Provides buildings oriented to enhance views from within the site by
taking advantage of topography, building location and style.
Comment: The lots are arranged in into two tiers of single lots. The ten lots would be
oriented east/west. The site topography slopes down from east to west, resulting in a
terraced effect after site grading. The proposed layout maximizes the use of topography
is appropriate. Views would be territorial and to lower elevations to the west.
ix. Parking Area Design:
Design: Provides parking areas that are complemented by landscaping and not designed
in long rows. The size of parking areas is minimized in comparison to typical designs, and
each area related to the group of buildings served. The design provides for efficient use of
parking, and shored parking facilities where appropriate.
Comment: Required parking would be provided within garages attached to each home.
Additional guest parking would be provided on the driveway aprons for each lot. Staff
has previously recommended that the applicant provide minimum 18 -foot garage aprons
from the face of the garage to the back of the sidewalk to provide for parking that does
not result in vehicles overhanging the sidewalk. On -street parking would be provided
along the new internal road on one side. Staff further recommends that this parking be
allowed on the east side of Road A. The proposed parking is designed to provide efficient
use of the site and would be appropriately screen by the provided garages.
Adequacy: Provides sufficient on-site vehicular parking areas consistent with the parking
demand created by the development as documented in a parking analysis approved by the
City.
Comment: Parking regulations require a minimum of two off-street parking spaces for
detached dwellings. As proposed each lot would have adequate area to provide two off-
street parking spaces. Additional parking would be available on the internal road or in
the driveways of each lot. Sufficient on-site vehicular parking would be provided
consistent with the demand created by the development provided that conditions of
approval are complied with.

X. Phasing: Each phase of the proposed development contains the required parking spaces,
open space, recreation spaces, landscaping and utilities necessary for creating and
sustaining a desirable and stable environment, so that each phase, together with previous
phases, can stand alone.
Comment: The applicant has not proposed to phase the subject development. As such,
this criteria does not apply.
xi. Development Standards
Common O apen_S-Pace Standard: open space shall be concentrated in large usable areas
and may be designed to provide either active or passive recreation. Requirements for
residential developments are described below.
Residential: For residential developments open space must equal at least ten percent
10%) of the development site's gross land area.
L Open space may include, but is not limited to, the following:
a) A trail that allows opportunity for passive recreation within a critical area
buffer (only the square footage of the trail shall be included in the open space
area calculation), or
b) A sidewalk and its associated landscape strip, when abutting the edge of a
critical area buffer and when a part of a new public or private road, or
c) A similar proposal as approved by the reviewing official.
ii. Additionally, a minimum area equal to fifty (50) square feet per unit of common space
or recreation area shall be provided in a concentrated space.
Comment: The proposed development is located on an 2.15 acre site, of which a
portion on the east is located in a critical area. The applicant has dedicated an Open
Space Tract A which totals 19,164 square feet within which is a soft surface trail that
equals approximately 1,530 square feet. The proposed development would have 10
lots; 50 square feet of common space or recreation areas is required per unit, resulting
in a requirement of an additional 500 square feet. To partially fulfill the common space
requirement the applicant has proposed to provide an approximate 350 square foot
common park that includes a concrete path, pergola/gazebo and landscaping. Staff
recommends that the applicant enlarge this area to be at least 500 square feet in order
to meet the minimum requirement. Suggestions for added recreation opportunities
may include a community garden or fire circle or barbeque area. The park is located
north of proposed Lot 6 and connects to the walking path through the remainder of
Tract A. The overall location and design of the park, open space and trail are located as
to create a quality open space/recreation area for the development, specifically if all
conditions of approval are met.
Private Open Space: Each residential unit in a planned urban development shall have
usable private open space (in addition to parking, storage space, lobbies, and corridors)
for the exclusive use of the occupants of that unit. Each ground floor unit, whether
attached or detached, shall have private open space which is contiguous to the unit. The
private open space shall be well demarcated and at least fifteen feet (15') in every

dimension (decks on upper floors can substitute for the required private open space).
For dwelling units which are exclusively upper story units, there shall be deck areas
totaling at least sixty (60) square feet in size with no dimension less than five feet (5').
Comment: Each lot would have a private yard in both the front and the rear of the lot.
The recommended setbacks would provide for a minimum 15 -foot front yard and a 20 -
foot rear yard, which could result in a private open space yard meeting or exceeding
the 15 foot in every dimension. Compliance with this standard shall be reviewed at
building permit stage.
Installation_ and Maintenance of Common Open Space: All common area and open
space shall be landscaped in accordance with the landscaping plan submitted by the
applicant and approved by the City.
Comment: Prior to the recording of the plat, common landscaped areas and the open
space landscaping, and street trees must be installed. The applicant would need to
provide for the maintenance of the common areas through the establishment of a
HomeOwner's Association.
Installation and Maintenance of Common Facilities: All common facilities not dedicated
to the City shall be permanently maintained by the planned urban development owner
by the property owners' association or the agents) thereof.
Comment: Staff recommends, as condition of approval, the applicant be required to
establish a home owners' association for the development, which would be responsible
for any common improvements, including but not limited to the soft surface trail,
landscaping, and park within the PUD prior to Final PUD approval. All common
facilities, not dedicated to the City, shall be permanently maintained by the PUD home
owners' association.
6. Consistengy with Preliminary Plat Criteria
Approval of a plat is based upon several factors. The following preliminary plat criteria have
been established to assist decision -makers in the review of the plat:
a) Compliance with the Comprehensive Designation
The site is designated Residential Single Family (RSF) and Residential Low Density (RLD) on
the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Land designated Residential Single Family is
intended to be used for quality detached residential development organized into
neighborhoods at urban densities. it is intended that larger subdivisions, infill development,
and rehabilitation of existing housing be carefully designed to enhance and improve the
quality of single-family living. Land designated Residential Low Density is intended for a
range of low intensity residential and employment where land is either constrained by
sensitive areas or where the City has the opportunity to add larger -lot housing stock at urban
densities of 4-du/net acre, to its inventory:

flexible lot size and configuration to encourage preservation and add amenity value.
Policy Objective Met Not Met
b) Compliance with the Underlying Zoning Designation
See Consistency with the Planned Urban Development Regulations and Table A.
The proposed development would allow for the future construction of 10 new single-family
dwelling units.
Density: The site is zoned both R-1 and R-14, and the zone line See Consistency with the
Planned Urban Development Regulations, subsection a).
Lot Dimensions: See Consistency with the Planned Urban Development Regulations, Table A
for requested modifications. As demonstrated in Table C below, all lots except Lot 1, meet
the requirements for the requested minimum lot size, depth, and width as requested
through the PUD. Lot 1 is a corner lot and would require that its minimum width be
increased to 60 feet for meet the standard. There is sufficient room on the site to achieve
this and keep the proposed lot count.

In addition to the 10 proposed developable lots, the applicant has proposed 1 tract for,
critical areas, recreation/open space, and access. For maintenance of the open space Tract
A staff recommends as a condition of approval that all critical areas and their buffers be
placed in a Native Growth Protection Easement (NGPE). However, such easement shall be
written to provide access for the trail users. Furthermore, these areas shall be fenced with
split rail fencing to separate the trail from the steep slope and to provide designated access
points along the trail.
Also, as a condition of approval staff recommends that a covenant shall be placed on all
tracts restricting their separate sale and giving each lot owner within the plat an undivided
interest in the tracts. This covenant should be recorded on the face of the plat, and/or
concurrent with the plat recording, noting the recording number on the plat.

The site is sloped from the east to west and vegetated primarily with cottonwood, alder,
maple, and fir trees.
See Table B Public Benefit, subsection Natural Features and for discussion of tree retention,
landscaping and plantings.
The conceptual landscape plan submitted with the application includes the installation of
street trees along the street frontage within the plat; however it does not show
landscaping or street improvements for the street frontage on South 55th
Street, as
required by code. As such, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the street
trees are shown on the final detailed landscape plan in compliance with the street tree
standards. If the conditions of approval are complied with the development would
demonstrate compliance with the landscaping regulations of the code. The applicant is
required to submit and have approved a detailed landscape plan prior to final PUD and
Final Plat recording.
d) Compliance with Subdivision Regulations
Streets: See Consistency with the Planned Urban Development Regulations, Table A for
requested modifications and staff's recommendation for street development. In addition
to the comments in the above Table A, street lighting meeting pedestrian lighting levels, in
conformance with the residential street lighting interpretation, will be required for both
the internal street sections. As such, staff recommends as a condition of approval, that a
lighting plan be submitted with the construction permit application for review and
approval by the Department of Community & Economic Development, Development
Services project manager prior to building permit approval.
All wire utilities shall be installed underground per the City of Renton UnderGrounding
Ordinance. If three or more poles are required to be moved by the development design,
all existing overhead utilities shall be placed underground. Construction of these franchise
utilities must be inspected and approved by a City of Renton public works inspector prior
to recording of the plat.
Blocks: No new blocks will be created as part of the proposed plat.
Lots: The shape, orientation, and arrangement of the proposed lots comply with the
requirements of the Subdivision Regulations for the R-8 zone, subject to the requested
modifications found in Table A above. In addition the proposal allows for reasonable
redevelopment of land. All 10 lots are rectangular in shape and would provide sufficient
building area.
e) Reasonableness of Proposed Boundaries
Access: The subdivision would gain access from South 551h
Street at one access point,
identified as "Road A". Road A would also provide access to Wilson Park I to the north. All
of the proposed lots would be directly accessed off of Road A.
Topography: The site is bounded by steep slopes east. The site contains areas of
protected slopes (greater than 40%) in the northeastern portion of the property. This area

of protected slopes would be contained within Tract A. There is also a cut slope on the
west portion of the property that slopes up to about 6 to 12 feet. This slope likely resulted
from the original land grading.
Both geotechnical reports submitted conclude that the subject site is stable and can
support the development provided the recommendations of the November 22, 2004
report are fully implemented and observed during construction.
Relationship to Existing Uses: See PUD criterion iii Building and Site Design.
f) Availability and Impact on Public Services (Timeliness)
Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicates that sufficient resources exist to
furnish services to the proposed development; subject to the condition that the applicant
provides Code required improvements and potential impact fees, if applicable at the time
of development/recording.
Schools: According to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the City of Renton
Land Use Element (January 16, 1992), the City of Renton has a student generation factor of
0.44 students per single-family residential dwelling. Based on the student generation
factor, the proposed plat would result in 4 students (0.44 X 10 new lots = 4.4). It is
anticipated that the Renton School District can accommodate the students generated by
this proposal at the following schools: Benson Hill Elementary, Nelsen Middle School and
Lindbergh High School. Renton Municipal Code provides for the collection of a school
impact fee on behalf of the Renton School District, which is currently $6,392 per each new
home, due at the time of building permit.
Storm Water: New impervious surfaces would result in surface water runoff increases. A
Technical Information Report (dated May 5, 2009) was prepared by Baima and Holmberg
Inc, for the previous Wilson Park I Plat. An addendum to this report was prepared by Offe
Engineers, PLLC on February 28, 2012 to consider the current proposal. The May 2009
report includes an analysis of upstream tributary drainage which states that the parcel to
the east drains onto the site, with no problems related to runoff. The Level 1 Downstream
Drainage Analysis in the report states that runoff from the site flows west into lots in the
adjacent Geneva Court development. The majority of the existing runoff from Wilson Park
2 collects along the west property line via sheet flow and continues downstream over the
vacant property to the west. This flow collects in a stormwater pond/bioswale facility
located at the intersection of Talbot Road S and South

crossing SR 167. The Technical Information Report indicates that there are no apparent
drainage problems.
The amended February 28, 2012 report evaluates the addition of the subject 10 -lot plat.
The original stormwater system for Wilson Park I and located within the street that would
serve both Wilson Park I and II was sized to accommodate Wilson Park I lots and the new
streets including the access street located within Wilson Park II. The addendum provides
calculations intended to evaluate the sizing of the storm treatment facility for the two
projects.
Water and Sanitary Sewer Utilities: See PUD criterion v. Infrastructure and Services.
gj Compliance With Critical Area Regulations
The project site includes areas with greater than 40% slope that are classified as critical
areas. In addition, the site contains a small, isolated, unregulated wetland in the west
portion of the site (Exhibit XX). The slopes are within the Talbot Urban Separator Overlay,
and would be protected within Tract A, which would also include passive recreation in the
form of a soft surface trail, pergola/gazebo, along with ornamental landscaping.
In order to protect the critical area, the following conditions of approval are recommended
by staff:
1. The common boundary between the native growth protection tract and the
abutting land must be permanently identified. This identification shall include a
permanent wood split rail fence and metal signs on treated or metal posts. The
permanent wood split rail fence and signs shall be installed prior to Final Plat
recording.
2. The following note shall appear on the face of the Final Plat and shall also be
recorded as a covenant running with the land on the title of record for all affected
lots on the title: "MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY: All owners of lots created or
benefitting from this City action abutting or including a native growth protection
tract are responsible for maintenance and protection of the tract. Maintenance
includes ensuring that no alterations occur within the tract and that all vegetation
remains undisturbed unless the express written authorization of the City has been
received."
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD, Project
File No. LUA12-013, ECF, PP, PPUD subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall comply with the 7 mitigation measures issued as part of the
Determination of Non -Significance Mitigated, dated May 7, 2012.
2. The applicant shall record a restrictive covenant on each of the lots indicating that
only detached single family units may be constructed, and any future accessory units
allowed per the R-8 Development Regulations. This covenant shall be subject to the
review and approval of the Current Planning Project Manager and City Attorney, and
shall be recorded prior to the recording of the Final Plat.

PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND
The applicant proposes to subdivide a 2.15 acre parcel into 10 lots for the eventual development of
detached single family homes, and 1 tract for open space. The site is zoned Residential -14 dwelling units
per acre (R-14) and Residential —1 dwelling unit per acre (R-1). The R-1 portion of the site is considered to
be Urban Separator, and as such 50% of the Urban Separator area is required to be dedicated as open
space.
New residential lots would range in size from 5,559 square feet to 6,778 square feet. The open space tract
would be 19,164 s.f. in size.
Proposed density averages 6.4 dwelling units per acre across the site, with 9 lots proposed for the portion
within the R-14 zone, and 1 residential lot proposed within the R-1 Zone. A Planned Urban Development is
proposed in order to modify minimum lots sizes within the R-1 zone and to provide larger lots within the
R-14 zone. Access would be provided from South 55th Street via a new street that would be constructed
as part of the approved Wilson Park I subdivision (LUA09-140, PP, ECF).
The topography of the site slopes upward from the west to the east; an area of steep protected slopes
occurs on the eastern portion of the site. Site soils are comprised of Kame Terrace and Ground Moraine
which are glacial till soils. Approximately 820 cubic yards of material would be excavated and 11,200 cubic
yards of fill would be required to accomplish the project.
A small wetland is located on the western portion of the site. This wetland is not regulated per Renton
Municipal Code. Of the 82 trees onsite, 21 would be removed for the construction of the new street, 10
would be retained, and new trees would be planted, including 2 new trees per lot.
The project requires Environmental (SEPA) Review, Planned Urban Development (PUD) Review, and
Preliminary Plat review.
PART TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those
project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and
environmental regulations.
A. Environmental Threshold Recommendation
Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible
Officials:
Issue a DNS -M with a 14 -day Appeal Period.
B. Mitigation Measures
1. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations contained in the Geotechnical
Engineering Study, prepared by Liu & Associates, Inc. dated November 22, 2004 and amended
February 15, 2012, for the duration of project construction,
2. The applicant shall provide a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Plan designed pursuant to
the Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements outlined in Volume ll

of the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual and provide staff with a Construction Mitigation
Plan prior to issuance of construction permits. This mitigation measure shall be subject to
review and approval of the Development Services Division.
3. The applicant shall provide weekly reports on the status and condition of the erosion control
plan with any recommendations of change or revision to maintenance schedules or installation
shall be submitted by the Project Engineer of record to the Public Works inspector.
4. Because of moisture -sensitive fine-grained soils mantling the site and the higher gradient areas
within the site the geotechnical study recommends that grading and foundation construction
be carried out and completed within the dryer period of the year from April 1 through October
31 unless otherwise approved by the Development Services Division. Therefore, the applicant
shall adhere to a construction schedule involving grading and foundation work during the dryer
period of the year.
5. The applicant shall pay a Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per each new single family lot
prior to recording the final plat.
6. The applicant shall be required to pay a Traffic Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each new
average daily vehicle trip associated with the proposed project prior to recording of the final
plat.
7. The applicant shall be required to pay a Fire Mitigation Fee based on $488.00 per each new
single family lot prior to recording the final plat.

D. Environmental Impacts
The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine
whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to
occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal
is likely to have the following probable impacts:
1. Earth
Impacts: The subject site is located on a broad moderate to steep westerly -sloping hillside. This
downward slope is at grades of 13 to 39 percent. Steeper slopes greater than 40% are located on
the eastern portion of the site. The higher gradient portions of the site generally lie within the
eastern 100 to 200 feet and the western 150 to 200 feet of the site. Approximately 820 cubic yards

of earth material would be cut and approximately 11,200 cubic yards off il I would be imported for
the proposal.
The applicant submitted a Geotechnical Engineering Study prepared by Liu & Associates, Inc. dated
November 22, 2004 and amended February 15, 2012. The report identifies the soils on the site as
Kame Terrace deposits underlain by Ground Moraine. Kame Terrace deposits consist mostly of silty
sand and gravel to cobble. Locally, they may also contain lenses and pods of till and beds of sand, .
silt and clay. According to the Geotechnical Report, these isolated lenses were not encountered on
the subject site. Kame Terrace deposits are of moderately -high to high permeability and can
provide good foundation support to structure in their native undisturbed state. Ground Moraine
deposits are mostly thin ablation till over lodgment till, and were deposited during the retreat of
glaciers during the last Ice Age, more than 14,000 years ago. Lodgment till is generally a compact
mixture of unsorted clay, silt, sand, gravel and cobble, commonly referred to as "hard pan".
Ablation Till is similar to lodgment till, but is much less compact and coherent. Lodgment Till is
practically impervious, except local lenses of sand and gravel. It has the character of low-grade
concrete and can stand in a steep natural or cut slope for long periods. This soil provides excellent
foundation support with little settlement expected. Overlying ablation till is generally looser and is
more compressible and permeable.
The site contains areas of protected slopes (greater than 40%) in the northeastern portion of the
property. This area of protected slopes would be contained within Tract A. There is also a cut
slope on the west portion of the property that slopes up to about 6 to 12 feet. This slope likely
resulted from the original land grading.
Subsurface conditions on the site were explored in November 2004 via six (6) test pits on the
western half of the site. The test pits sampled soil at depths ranging from 5.0 to 8.0 feet. The test
pits identified a layer of loose, organic topsoil from 1.0 to 2.5 feet thick. The topsoil is generally
underlain by a layer of brown Ablation Till soils of loose to medium -dense, silty fine sand, with a
trace of gravel and occasional cobble and boulder, about 1.0 to 3.2 feet thick. Underlying the
Ablation Till to the depths explored is a Lodgment Till deposit of light -brown to light -gray, dense to -
very -dense, weakly -cement, silty fine sand with a trace of gravel.
Additional test pits were explored for the eastern half of the site in February 2012. These recent
test pits included a layer of loose, organic topsoil, from 8 to 10 inches thick, on the surface. The
topsoil is underlain by a layer of brown to light -brown ablation till (weathered till) of medium -
dense, silty fine sand, with a trace of to some gravel and occasional cobble and boulder, about 3.5
to 4.0 feet thick. Underlying the Ablation Till to the depths explored is a Lodgment Till (fresh till)
deposit of light -brown to light -gray, very -dense, weakly -cement, silty fine sand with some gravel.
The soil conditions of added land are generally similar to that of the original land.
Both report conclude that the subject site is stable and can support the development provided the
recommendations of the November 22, 2004 report are fully implemented and observed during
construction.
The topsoil and loose to medium -dense weathered soils on-site are of low resistance to erosion.
Erosion may occur in the weaker surficial soils over the higher gradient areas if they are devoid of
vegetation. Progressive erosion can lead to shallow, skin -type mudflows. The geotechnical report
recommends preservation and maintenance of vegetation outside of construction limits to mitigate
this potential hazard. The study also recommends that concentrated stormwater should not be
discharged uncontrolled onto the ground. Stormwater from impervious surfaces should be

captured by underground drain line systems connected to roof downspouts or by catch basins
installed in roadways and driveways. Temporary erosion control measures are also recommended
and these include: a thin layer of quarry spalls placed over excavated areas to protect the subgrade
soils from disturbance by construction traffic; silt fences installed along the downhill sides of
construction areas to prevent sediment from being transported onto adjacent properties or
streets; and ditches or interceptor trench drains installed on the uphill sides of construction areas
to intercept and drain away storm runoff and near -surface groundwater seepage.
In order to mitigate for potential geotechnical impacts such as erosion, staff recommends a
mitigation measure which requires compliance with the recommendations. contained in the
Geotechnical Engineering Study, prepared by Liu & Associates, Inc. dated November 22, 2004 and
amended February 15, 2012. Staff also recommends'that the applicant provide a Temporary
Erosion and Sedimentation Plan designed pursuant to the Department of Ecology's Erosion and
Sediment Control Requirements outlined in Volume II of the 2005 Stormwater Management
Manual and provide staff with a Construction Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of construction
permits. This mitigation measure shall be subject to review and approval of the Development
Services Division. Staff further recommends that weekly reports on the status and condition of the
erosion control plan with any recommendations of change or revision to maintenance schedules or
installation shall be submitted by the Project Engineer of record to the Public Works inspector.
Because of moisture -sensitive fine-grained soils mantling the site and the higher gradient areas
within the site the geotechnical study recommends that grading and foundation construction be
carried out and completed within the dryer period of the year from April 1 through October 31
unless otherwise approved by the Development Services Division. Staff recommends that as a
mitigation measure that the applicant adhere to a construction schedule involving grading and
foundation work during the dryer period of the year.
Mitigation Measures:
1. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations contained in the Geotechnical
Engineering Study, prepared by Liu & Associates, Inc. dated November 22, 2004 and
amended February 15, 2012, for the duration of project construction.
2. The applicant shall provide a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Plan designed pursuant
to the Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements outlined in
Volume II of the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual and provide staff with a
Construction Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of construction permits. This mitigation
measure shall be subject to review and approval of the Development Services Division.
3. The applicant shall provide weekly reports on the status and condition of the erosion
control plan with any recommendations of change or revision to maintenance schedules or
installation shall be submitted by the Project Engineer of record to the Public Works
inspector.
4. Because of moisture -sensitive fine-grained soils mantling the site and the higher gradient
areas within the site the geotechnical study recommends that grading and foundation
construction be carried out and completed within the dryer period of the year from April 1
through October 31 unless otherwise approved by the Development Services Division.
Therefore, the applicant shall adhere to a construction schedule involving grading and
foundation work during the dryer period of the year.

2. Storm Water
Impacts: A Technical Information Deport (dated May 5, 2009) was prepared by Baima and
Holmberg Inc, for the previous Wilson Park I Plat. An addendum to this report was prepared by 4*K,
g on February 28, 2012 to consider the current proposal. The May 2009 report
includes an analysis of upstream tributary drainage which states that the parcel to the east drains
onto the site, with no problems related to runoff. The Level 1 Downstream Drainage Analysis in the
report states that runoff from the site flows west into lots in the adjacent Geneva Court
development. The majority of these flows collect in a drain constructed along the back yards of the
westernmost lots of the Geneva Court development and then flow into the storm system in South
53rd Place. This flow collects in a stormwater pond/bioswale facility located at the intersection of
Talbot Road S and South
53rd
Place approximately 750 -feet downstream from the site. This facility
outfalls through an 18 -inch pipe to the west side of Talbot Road S into a poorly defined channel
flowing into the woods. The flows then pass through a 12 -inch culvert under a walking path and
continue to flow west to a wooded wetland area more than a quarter mile downstream from the
site. Flows into the ditch along S
55th
Street continue west in a rock lined channel along the north
side of the street to the intersection of Talbot Road S and S 55th Street. The channel is eroded and
shows signs of flowing into the street. Flows from the ditch along Talbot Road S collect in the
storm system about 850 -feet downstream from the site eventually flowing into Springbrook Creek
at about 1,800 -feet downstream from the site. The Creek continues flowing west to about one-half
mile downstream of the site where it enters a box culvert crossing SR 167. The Technical
Information Report indicates that there are no apparent drainage problems.
The amended February 28, 2012 report evaluates the addition of the subject 10 -lot plat. The
original stormwater system for Wilson Park I and located within the street that would serve both
Wilson Park I and II was sized to accommodate Wilson Park I lots and the new streets including the
access street located within Wilson Park 11. The addendum provides calculations intended to
evaluate the sizing of the storm treatment facility for the two projects. The report notes that City
of Renton's 2009 Drainage Manual requires Best Management Practices (BMP's) for new
developments. One BMP's is to restrict impervious areas on future lots to help reduce runoff,
mitigate for development, and minimize the treatment system needed for the project. This is
known as a "Restrictive Covenant" provision and was utilized as part of a preliminary sizing of the
future system for both Wilson Park I and 11. The applicant intends to utilize the Restrictive
Covenant provision and limit impervious surface on each of the new lots in both Wilson Park I and 11
to 3,300 square feet per lot. By limiting the impervious area for homes, patios, driveways and
walkways, the proposed stormwater vault will be of an appropriate size to accommodate both
developments. The applicant has also intended to develop both plats at the same time.
Comments received from surrounding property owners expressed concern as to whether the vault
was sized appropriately to accommodate both projects. The applicant has stated that the vault is
sized to the 2009 drainage manual and will provide the necessary volume and capacity for both
projects.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation necessary.
Nexus: Not applicable.

3. Water (Wetlands)
Impacts: The applicant submitted a letter from Altmann Oliver Associates, LLC, dated March 11,
2011, that documents the wetland reconnaissance conducted on the subject property March 1,
2011. The primary focus of the reconnaissance was to verify the results of a wetland determination
report prepared by Alder NW (dated October 19, 2004), which indicated the presence of a small
less than 800 s.f.) hydrologically isolated wet area in the western portion of the site, immediately
adjacent to a remnant foundation of an old loafing shed. The Alder NW report previously indicated
that this small wetland area was unregulated as it was significantly disturbed. Altmann Oliver's
reconnaissance concurred with the previous findings, describing the wetland as a small Category 3
wetland. Altmann also confirmed that the drainage course flowing from east to west through the
southern portion of the site is from an outfall of a storm drain line that collects surface water
runoff from South
192nd
Street. Therefore, the drainage course is not considered to be stream and
is not regulated by City of Renton.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation required.
Nexus: Not applicable.
4. Vegetation
Impacts: The applicant submitted a Tree Inventory and Retention Plan and a Tree Retention with
the project application. There are 82 total trees on the project site, of which 21 would be removed
for construction of the roadway, and 3 trees are within the protected slope area. There are 21
trees within the R-1 zoned area of the site, and 37 trees within the R-14 zoned area. City Code
requires that 30% of the trees in the R-1 (or 6.3 trees) and 10% of the trees in the R-14 (3.7 trees)
be retained. The applicant is proposing to retain 10 trees and plant street trees and provide
enhanced landscaping in the open space tract.
The portion of the site zoned R-1 is within the Talbot Urban Separator Overlay. The purpose of the
Urban Separator Overlay includes providing a continuous open space and wildlife corridor. The
applicant proposes to retain trees within the critical area and buffer, to plant two trees per each
new lot, and to enhance Tract A with native and ornamental trees, shrubs and groundcover. The
enhancement area will be located proximate to the comparable area within Wilson Park I to
provide for the continuous open space corridor.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation necessary.
Nexus: Not Applicable.
5. Parks and Recreation
Impacts; It is anticipated that the proposed development would generate future residents who
would use City park and recreation facilities and programs. Staff recommends that the applicant be
required to pay a Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per each new single family lot to be
payable prior to recording the final plat. The fee is estimated at $5,307.60 (10 new lots x $530.76
5,307.60).
Mitigation Measures:
1. The applicant shall pay a Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per each new single
family lot prior to recording the final plat.

4. Transportation
Impacts; Access to the site would be from S 55th
Street via a 50 -foot wide right-of-way that was
identified on an access easement through the subject site for the Wilson Park 1 Plat. The roadway
would be constructed to serve both plats (Wilson Park 1 and II) and would be dedicated as a public
right-of-way. The roadway will have two 13 -foot wide travel lanes, 8 -foot planter strips on each
side, and 5 -foot wide sidewalks.
The applicant submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis Report prepared by TraffEx (Northwest Traffic
Experts, dated June 23, 2009 and supplemented January 25, 2012). The report indicates that the
proposal would utilize the same access to South
55th
Street s the approved Wilson Park I Plat. The
site access street intersects South 55th Street on the outside of a horizontal curve on South 55th
Street to optimize sight distance in both the east and west direction for vehicles entering and
exiting the site. The report also indicates that the horizon year for the study is considered to be
2014, as that is the year construction of both plats is anticipated. The study indicated the increase
in traffic with the proposal and determined that the traffic would operate at acceptable levels at
the intersection of South 55th Street and the new street within the plat. The Level -of -Service (LOS)
with the project was determined to be LOS B for future 2014 conditions.
Previously, the site distance on South
55th
was evaluated as part of Wilson Park I. It was
determined then that the City of Renton intersection and stopping sight distance requirements in
both the east and west directions would be met.
Comments received from surrounding property owners concern the ability of school buses to safely
serve the plat. The applicant has observed that presently the Renton School District buses travel
east on South
55th
in the morning, stopping in South
55th
to pick-up students. The buses then
travel west in the afternoon, stopping in South
55th
to drop-off students. It is anticipated that this
practice would continue with the project, and that children would wait together for pick-up. While
this is not necessarily a concern for SEPA environmental review; staff will study the issue further
and make recommendations to the Hearing Examiner during the Plat and Planned Urban
Development Hearing.
The proposal would result in an increase in traffic trips to the City's street system. Therefore, staff
recommends that the applicant pay a Traffic Mitigation Fee based on a rate of $75.00 per
additional average daily vehicle trip. Each new residence is expected to generate 9.57 trips; credit
is given for the existing residence on the subject property. The Traffic Mitigation Fee is estimated
to be $7,177.50 (10 new lots x 9.57 trips x $75.00 = $7,177.50) and would be payable prior to
recording the final plat.
Mitigation Measures:
1. The applicant shall be required to pay a Traffic Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each
new average daily vehicle trip associated with the proposed project prior to recording of the
final plat.

5. Fire & Police
Impacts: Fire Prevention staff indicates that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the
proposed development subject to the condition that the applicant provides the required
improvements and fees. As the proposal could potentially add 10 new residences, staff
recommends that the applicant be required to pay a Fire Mitigation Fee in the amount of $488.00
per each new single family lot. The total fee is estimated to be $4,880.00 (10 new lots X $488.00
4,880.00).
Mitigation Measures:
1. The applicant shall be required to pay a Fire Mitigation Fee based on $488.00 per each
new single family lot prior to recording the final plat.

ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY/CODE INTERPRETATION
MUNICIPAL
CODE SECTIONS: RMC 4-9-150.3.b Planned Urban Development Regulations
REFERENCE: Determination regarding calculation of residential density for projects
with multiple zoning classifications when proposed as part of a Planned
Urban Development.
SUBJECT: Wilson Park 2 Planned Urban Development and Preliminary Plat (LUA12-
013, PP, PPUD)
BACKGROUND: The City is evaluating an application for the second phase of a proposed
plat and Planned Urban Development on a site that is zoned both R-14
and R-1. The site includes a portion of the Talbot Urban Separator, an
overlay intended to protect resources and environmentally sensitive
areas, to create contiguous open space corridors within and between
urban communities, which provide environmental, visual, recreational
and wildlife benefits.
Individual properties within the Urban Separator often have multiple
zoning classifications, where zoning boundaries do not necessarily
coincide with property lines as is usually the case with zoning. Rather,
the zoning district boundaries are based on the City's understanding of
the location of environmentally critical areas on the site, at the time the
zoning was assigned to the site. In the Talbot Urban Separator area,
properties have multiple zoning classifications: R-1, R-8, and R-14. The
R-1 zone allows for density to be determined density based on gross site
area. All other residential zoning classifications require that density be
determined based on net density where critical areas, access easements
and dedicated roadways are deducted. Applying density based on zoning
boundary lines for a property with multiple zones, could result in a
project that does not recognize the developable area of the site, and
concentrates density inappropriately, or restricts density inappropriately
on the site.
Applicants have the ability to pursue a Planned Urban Development in
order to depart from certain development standards such as lot size;
however the PUD does not allow the number of dwelling units to exceed
the density allowances of the base zone. The proposed determination
would not result in density of the base or overlay zone to be exceeded.
H:\CED\Planning\Title IV\Docket\Administrative Policy Code Interpretation\0-30\Code Interpretation -do(
EXHIBIT 8
Rather, it would clarify that the density can be averaged across the site,
provided this is accomplished as part of a PUD.
JUSTIFICATION: Sites with multiple zoning designations should be allowed to average the
density across the site, through the Planned Unit Development process.
Maximum density could not be exceeded. This determination is to clarify
process.
DECISION: Properties with more than one zoning classification will be allowed to
average residential density across the site provided this is accomplished
through the Planned Urban Development process.

Re: Wilson Park Short Plat - City of Renton
Traffic Impact Analysis
Dear Mr. Wilson:
We are pleased to present this traffic impact analysis report for the proposed 14
lot Wilson Park Residential short plat located at the 720 S. 55"' St. in the City of Renton.
The scope of this analysis is based upon the preliminary plat site plan, the Ci of
Renton Policy Guidelines for Traffic Impact Analysis for New Development, and
conversations with City Renton staff.
Our summary, conclusions and recommendations begin on page seven of this
report.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Figure 9 is a vicinity map showing the location of the site and study area.
Figure 2 is a close in area map showing the site location and surrounding street
network.
Figure 3 shows the preliminary site plan.
The primary access street runs from the southwest corner of the site to S 55th St.
through a 50 ft. wide easement on the parcel adjacent to the south side of the site. The
primary access from S. 55"' St. to the site is 28 ft. wide with a sidewalk on the west side
of the street. A secondary gated emergency vehicle access connects to S 551' St.
though a 30 ft. easement. Streets within the site will be 32 ft. wide with a sidewalk on
one side.
The primary site access street is located on the outside of a horizontal curve on
S 55t" St. to optimize sight distance in both east and west directions for vehicles exiting
the site.
Page i
Wilson Park ?raffmy
Development of the Wilson Park plat is expected to occur by the year 2011.
Therefore, for purposes of this study, 2011 is used as the horizon year for this study.
An existing single family home within the project site will be removed with this
development.
TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION
The 14 single-family units in the proposed Wilson Park Plat are expected to
generate the vehicular trips during an average weekday and during the street traffic
peak hours as shown below:
Time Period Trip Rate Trips Trips TotalTripsperunitEnteringExiting
67 157
Average Weekday 9.57 134
50% 50%
AM Peak Hour 0.75 8
1125% 75%
PM Peak Hour 1.01 5
14639370
A vehicle trip is defined as a single or one direction vehicle movement with either
the origin or destination (exiting or entering) inside the study site.
The trip generation is calculated using the average trip rates in the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation, Eighth Edition, for Single Family
Detached Housing (ITE Land Use Code 210). These trip generation values account for
all site trips made by all vehicles for all purposes, including resident, visitor, and service
and delivery vehicle trips.
Figure 4 shows the estimated trip distribution and the calculated site -generated
traffic volumes_ The distribution is based on existing traffic volume patterns, the
characteristics of the road network, the location of likely trip origins and destinations
employment, shopping, social and recreational opportunities), expected travel times,
and previous traffic studies.

EXISTING PHYSICAL CONDITIONS
Street Facilities
Figure 5 shows existing traffic control, number of street lanes and other pertinent
information.
The streets in the study area are classified per the City of Renton
Comprehensive Pian as follows:
Talbot Rd. S Collector Arterial
S 55th St. Local Access
98th Ave S Local access
98th Pi. S Local access
102nd Ave S Local access
S 55th St. consists of two 11 ft. lanes and a shoulder that varies in width from
approximately two to four feet in the vicinity of the project site. A section of S 55th St.
east of the project site consists of several sharp curves and is posted with a 15 mph
advisory speed sign and with chevron arrows at each curve within the section. There is
a left turn pocket on S 55th St. at 98th
Ave. S, approximately 125 ft. west of the Wilson
Park site access street.
EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
Traffic Volumes
Figure 6 shows existing, future without project and future with project PM peak
hour traffic volumes at the proposed site access street/S 55t' St. intersection. The
proposal generates less than 30 PM peak Dour trips and no other intersection or street
segment in the City of Renton will experience an increase of 5% in traffic volumes due
to this development. Therefore, only the site access street/S 55ffi St. intersection
requires a level of service (LOS) analysis per the Ci of Renton Policy Guidelines for
Traffic Impact Analysis for New Development. A PM peak hour traffic count was
performed on Tuesday, .lune 16, 2509 and is included in the Technical Appendix.
Level of Service Analysis
Level of Service (LOS) is a qualitative measure describing operational conditions
within a traffic flow, and the perception of these conditions by drivers or passengers.
These conditions include factors such as speed, delay, travel time, freedom to
maneuver, traffic interruptions, comfort, convenience, and safety. Levels of service are
given letter designations, from A to F, with LOS A representing the best operating
conditions (free flow, little delay) and LOS F the worst (congestion, long delays).
Page 3
Wilson Park Tra
Generally, LOS A and B are high, LOS C and D are moderate and LOS E and F are
low.
Table 1 shows calculated level of service (LOS) for future conditions including
project traffic at the pertinent street intersection. The LOS was calculated using the
procedures in the Transportation Research Board Highway Capacity Manual 2000. The
LOS shown indicates overall intersection operation. At intersections, LOS is determined
by the calculated average control delay per vehicle. The LOS and corresponding
average control delay in seconds are as follows;

Accident History
Historical accident data for the section of S. 55"' St. between the intersections
98t" Ave. S and 99t" PI S was obtained from the City of Renton. A total of 4 accidents
occurred from January 1, 2004 through December 31st 2008. Three accidents occurred
on the street section between the intersections, one accident occurred at 99"' PI S and
no accidents occurred at 98tf' Ave. South. Two of the accidents were injury type
accidents with one being a fatality, The fatality was a single vehicle travelling in the
westbound direction approximately 319 ft west of 99"' Pl. South.
None of the accidents occurred at the curve on S. 55"' St. where the site access
street is proposed to be located. Based on the field review and historical accident data
there are no readily apparent safety issues that should result from the proposed
development. The historical accident data is included in the technical appendix.
FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS (WITHOUT THE PROJECT
Figure 6 shows projected 2011 PM peak hour traffic volumes without the project_
These volumes include the existing traffic volume counts plus background traffic growth.
The background growth factor accounts for traffic volumes generated from other
approved but unbuilt subdivisions and general growth in traffic traveling through the
area.
A 3% per year annual background growth rate was added for each year of the
two year time period from the 2009 traffic count to the 2011 horizon year of the
Page 4
Wilson Park rraffmy
proposal. Cit of Renton historical traffic count data supports the 3% per year growth
rate on S. 55 Street.
FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WITH PROJECT
Figure 6 shows the projected future 2011 PM peak hour traffic volumes with the
proposed project. The site -generated PM peak hour traffic volumes shown on Figure 4
were added to the projected future without project volumes to obtain the future with
project volumes.
Table 1 shows calculated LOS for future with project volumes at the Wilson Park
site access street/S. 55th St. intersection. The study intersection operates at an
excellent LOS A for future 2011 conditions including project -generated traffic.
SIGHT DISTANCE EVALUATION
Sight distance on S 55th
St. is excellent looking to the west from the proposed
site access street and extends approximately 785 ft. to Talbot Rd. South. Sight
distance to the east is limited by a horizontal curve on S 55u' Street. This curve has a
posted advisory speed of 15 mph. In evaluating sight distance, the generally accepted
rule is to add 5 mph to the posted speed to determine the design speed of the street.
Sight distance requirements looking to the east from the Wilson Park site access street
are therefore based on a 20 mph design speed for the horizontal curve on S 55th Street.
Intersection sight distances and stopping sight distances were measured and
compared to City requirements at the Wilson Park site access street/ S 55th St.
intersection. City of Renton is requirements are based on current AASHTO "Geometric
Design of Highways and Streets" standards.
Intersection Sight Distance
AASHTO standards for a 20 mph design speed require an intersection sight
distance of 145 ft. looking to the left (east) from the site access street (using an eye
height of 3.5 ft. and a vehicle height of 4.25 ft.). Attached in the technical appendix are
Exhibits 9-55 and 9.58 showing the current AASHTO standards for intersection sight
distance. A right tuming vehicle exiting from the side street is required to enter the
westbound lane and accelerate to 85% of the design speed so as not to interfere with
the traffic flow. The field measured intersection sight distance looking to left (east) from
the site access street is 215 ft. thus exceeding the AASHTO required 145 feet.
Intersection sight distance looking to the right from the site access street is excellent
and extends all the way to Talbot Rd. S at approximately 785 ft.
Page 5
Wilson Park lrrafmf
Stopping Sight Distance
Stopping sight distance is the distance traveled while the vehicle driver perceives
a situation requiring a stop, realizes that stopping is necessary, applies the brake, and
comes to a stop. A stopping sight distance of 115 ft. is required for a 20 mph design
speed (using an eye height of 3.5 ft. and an object height of 2 ft.). Attached in the
technical appendix is Exhibit 3-1 showing the current AASHTO standards for stopping
sight distance. There is an approximate 10% downgrade in the westbound direction on
S 55h Street_ The required stopping sight distance is therefore increased an additional
40 ft. to account for a 10% downgrade with a 20 mph design speed. The required
westbound stopping sight distance therefore is 115 + 40 = 155 feet. The field measured
westbound stopping sight distance is 197 ft. thus exceeding the required 155 feet.
Stopping sight distance for eastbound vehicles on S.
55th St. is excellent and extends
from Talbot Rd. S. approximately 785 feet to the site access street.
The City of Renton AASHTO based intersection and stopping sight distance
requirements are met at the Wilson Park site access street/ S 55th St. intersection in
both the east and west directions.
TRAFFIC MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS
The City of Renton requires a Transportation Mitigation Fee payment of $75 per
new daily trip attributed to new development. One existing single family home on site
will be removed. with this development resulting in a net increase of 13 single family
homes. The net new daily trips due to this development are 124 trips (13units x 9.57
daily trips per unit). The estimated Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee is $9,300 (124
daily trips X $75 per daily trip).

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend that the Wilson Park Plat be constructed as shown on the site
plan with the following traffic impact mitigation measures:
Construct the street improvements including curb, gutter and sidewalk for
site access street and intemal site streets as shown on the site pian.
Contribute the approximately $9,300 Transportation Mitigation fee to the
City of Renton.
No other traffic mitigation should be necessary. If you have any
questions, please call 425-522-4118. You may also contact us Via e-mail at

For crossing a major road with more than two
lanes, anti 0.5 seconds for passenger cars and
0.7 seconds for trucks for each additional lane to
be crossed and for narrow medians that cannot
store the design vehicle.
For minor road approach grades:
If the approach grade is an upgrade that exceeds
3 percent, add 0.1 seconds for each percent
grade.

Exhibit 9-55. Design Intersection Sight Dist nce-_4 me BI—Left Tura From Stop
Sight distance design for left turns. at divided -highway intersections ghould consider multiple
design vdhicles and median width. If the design vehicle used to determine sight distance for a
divided -highway intersection is larger than a passenger car, then sight distance for left turns will
need to be checked for that selected design vehicle and for smaller design vehicles as well. If the
divided -highway median is wide enough to stare the design vehicle with a clew%nce to the
through lanes of approximately I m (3 ft] at both ends of the vehicle, no separate analysis for the
departure sight triangle for Ieft turns is needed on the minor -road approach'for the near roadway
to the left. In most cases, the depart= -sight triangle for right turns (Case 132) will provide
sufficient sight distance for a passenger car to cross the .near roadway to reach the median.
Possible exceptions are addressed in the discussion of Case B3.
If the design vehicle can be std in the median with adequate clearance to the through
lanes, a departure sight triangle to the right for. left turns should be provided for that design
vehicle taming left from the median roadway. Where the, ax:dian is not wide enough to store the
design vehicle, a departure sight triangle should be.proyided for that design vehicle to turn left
from the minor -mad approach.
The median width should be considered in determining the number of lanes to be crossed.
The median width should be converted to equivalent lanes. For example, a 7-2-m 124 -ft] median
should be considered as two additional lanes to be crossed in applying the multilane highway
adjustment for time gaps in Exhibit 9-54. Furthermore, a departure sight triangle for left turns
from the mtr dian roadway should be provided for the largest design vehicle that can be stared on

Supplemental Traffic Impact Analysis
Dear Mr. Wilson:

Phone. 425.522,4118 Fax: 425,522.4311
We are pleased to present this supplemental traffic impact analysis (TIA) for the
proposed 10 lot Wilson Park Division 2 Plat located on the north side of
S.55 1h
St. in the City of Renton. This TIA supplements the information and analysis
presented in the original Wilson Park Plat TIA, dated June 23, 2009, prepared by
Traffex.
The Wilson Park Division 2 site is adjacent to the southwest corner of the
approved Wilson Park Plat. The proposed project site contains the access road to S.
55 h St. for Wilson Park Plat. The 10 lots of the proposed Wilson Park Division 2 will
have direct driveway connections to the access road connecting the Wilson Park to S.
55th Street. The access road and the location of its intersection to S. 55th St remains the
same as when approved for the original Wilson Park Plat.
The scope of this analysis is based upon the preliminary plat site plan, the Cityof
Renton Policy_ Guidelines for Traffic Impact Analysis for New _Development.
Our summary, conclusions and recommendations begin on page 5 of this report.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 shows the Wilson Park Division 2 site plan. The site lies between the
southwest corner of the Wilson Park plat and S. 55th Street.
The proposed project utilizes the same access to S. 55th St. as the approved 12
lot Wilson Park plat.
The site access street intersects S. 55th St. on the outside of a horizontal curve
on S. 55th St. to optimize sight distance in both east and west directions for vehicles
entering and exiting the site.
Page 1
Wilson Park Trafff wC
Development of the Wilson Park Division 2 plat is expected to occur by the year
2014. Therefore, for purposes of this study, 2014 is used as the horizon year for this
study.
TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION
The 10 single-family units in the proposed Wilson Park Division 2 Plat are
expected to generate the vehicular trips during an average weekday and during the
street traffic peak hours as shown. below:
Time Period Trip Rate Trips Trips Total
Trips per unit Entering Exiting
48
Average Weekday 9.57 96
500 % 50%
AM Peak Hour 0.75
2%
68
75%
PM Peak Hour 1.01 410
63% 37%
A vehicle trip is defined as a single or one direction vehicle movement with either
the origin or destination (exiting or entering) inside the study site.
The trip generation is calculated using the average trip rates in the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Eighth Edition, for Single Family
Detached Housing (ITE Land Use Code 210). These trip generation values account for
all site trips made by all vehicles for all purposes, including resident, visitor, and service
and delivery vehicle trips.
Figure 2 shows the site generated traffic volumes and distribution at the study
intersection. The distribution is based on existing traffic volume patterns, the
characteristics of the road network, the location of likely trip origins and destinations
employment, shopping, social and recreational opportunities), expected travel times,
and previous traffic studies.
EXISTING PHYSICAL CONDITIONS
The streets in the study area are classified per the City of Renton
Comprehensive Plan as follows:

St. consists of two 11 ft. lanes and a shoulder that varies in width from
approximately two to four feet in the vicinity of the project site. A section of S 55th St,
east of the project site consists of several sharp curves and is posted with a 15 mph
advisory speed sign and with chevron arrows at each curve within the section. There is
a left tum pocket on S 55th
St. at 981h Ave. S, approximately 125 ft. west of the Wilson
Park site access street.
EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
Traffic Volumes
Figure 2 shows existing, future without project and future with project PM peak
hour traffic volumes at the proposed site access street/S 55th
St. intersection. The
proposal generates less than 30 PM peak hour trips and no other intersection or street
segment in the City of Renton will experience an increase of 5% in traffic volumes due
to this development. Therefore, only the site access street/S 55th St. intersection
requires a level of service (LOS) analysis per the City of Renton Policy Guidelines for
Traffic Impact Analysis for New Development, A PM peak hour traffic count taken for
the Wilson Park Plat TIA was used for this supplemental analysis since traffic growth in
the area has been generally flat over the past several years.
Level of Service Analysis
Level of Service (LOS) is a qualitative measure describing operational conditions
within a traffic flow, and the perception of these conditions by drivers or passengers.
These conditions include factors such as speed, delay, travel time, freedom to
maneuver, traffic interruptions, comfort, convenience, and safety. Levels of service are
given letter designations, from A to F, with LOS A representing the best operating
conditions (free flow, little delay) and LOS F the worst (congestion, long delays).
Generally, LOS A and B are high, LOS C and D are moderate and LOS E and F are
low.
Table 1 shows calculated level of service (LOS) for future conditions including
project traffic at the pertinent street intersection. The LOS was calculated using the
procedures in the Transportation Research Board Highway Capacity Manual 2000. The
LOS shown indicates overall intersection operation. At intersections, LOS is determined
by the calculated average control delay per vehicle at signalized intersections or the
average delay for the worst minor approach at two way stop sign controlled
intersections. The LOS and corresponding average control delay in seconds are as
follows:

FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WITHOUT THE PROJECT
Figure 2 shows projected 2014 PM peak hour traffic volumes without the project.
These volumes include the existing traffic volume counts, plus background traffic
growth, plus 12 PM peak hour pipeline project trips generated by the Wilson Park plat.
The background growth factor accounts for traffic volumes generated from other
approved but unbuilt subdivisions and general growth in traffic traveling through the
area.
A 3% per year annual background growth rate was added for each year of the
five year time period from the 2009 traffic count to the 2014 horizon year (for a total of
15%). This will result in a very conservative analysis since traffic volumes in the area
have been generally flat for the past several years and are anticipated to continue this
trend.
FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WITH PROJECT
Figure 2 shows the projected future 2014 PM peak hour traffic volumes with the
proposed project. The site -generated PM peak hour traffic volumes were added to the
projected future without project volumes to obtain the future with project volumes.
Table 1 shows calculated LOS for future with project volumes at the Wilson Park
Division 2 site access street/S. 55th
St. intersection. The study intersection operates at a
high LOS B for future 2014 conditions, including project -generated traffic, and meets the
City of Renton LOS requirements for intersections.
SIGHT DISTANCE EVALUATION
Sight distance on S 55th
St. at the proposed site access street was extensively
evaluated in the Wilson Park TIA and meets the City of Renton intersection and
stopping sight distance requirements in both the east and west directions.

TRAFFIC MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS
The City of Renton requires a Transportation Mitigation Fee payment of $75 per
new daily trip attributed to new development. The net new daily trips due to this
development are 96 trips (10units x 9.57 daily trips per unit). The estimated
Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee is $7,200 (96 daily trips X $75 per daily trip).
SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend that the Wilson Park Division 2 Plat be constructed as shown on
the site plan with the following traffic impact mitigation measures:
Construct the street improvements including curb, gutter and sidewalk for
site access street as shown on the site plan.
Contribute the approximately $7,200 Transportation Mitigation fee to the
City of Renton.
No other traffic mitigation should be necessary. If you have any
questions, please call 425-5224118. You may also contact us via e-mail at

RE: LUA12-013, ECF, PP, PPUD (Wilson Park 2 Preliminary Plat)
Ms. Henning:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the above application. As the
owners of property adjacent to the subject site (located directly northwest of the site), we
have an interest in insuring negative impacts are avoided and appropriate measures are
taken in the possible development of this site. We also commented on Wilson Plat 1.
In as much as the development of this site is directly related to and is proposed to be done
concurrently with Wilson Park 1(approved by the City in 2010), some of these comments
will be related to this development in its entirety.
Comments/Concerns:
1. DRAINAGE
Development of proposed Wilson Park 2, as well as Wilson Park 1, will certainly
change the current site drainage due to increased impervious surfaces. significant
changes to the existing slopes and changes in the current vegetation/tree coverage
will mean a change in the current natural drainage of the sites. The Wilson 2 Plat
proposal indicates it would be using the detention vault proposed for the Wilson 1
Plat. We are concerned that the vault be engineered to accept this significantly
increased additional use. We are further concerned that the outflow be properly
managed. Should the open drainage ditches along S.
55th
Street be used for this
increased outflow due to development, measures should be in place to insure these
ditches to not overflow.
Under new City practices, it is assumed that the City will be the owner of the
detention vault and responsible for its maintenance and repair. Due to the unusual
location (beneath a public street), design/engineering should insure that the vault
can accept the gross vehicle weights of large trucks (garbage trucks, large fire
engines, etc.).
EXHIBIT 14
2. ROADS
The roads serving the proposed plat are outlined in the Wilson Park 1 plat and
indicate that parking will be allowed on one side of the street. As this is the case, we
recommend the City identify ahead of time which side of the road vehicles will be
allowed to park. Our neighborhood is also on a hill and based on our HOA
experiences, we suggest for Wilson Plat 2 that parking be on the east side of the road
entering the plat and the south side of the road in the Wilson 1 plat. We suggest the
sidewalks mirror parking and be "only" on the side of the road where parking is
allowed.
The suggestions for east/south side parking are: This may aid in minimizing a risk
issue identified in the Plat 1 application, that being road conditions (the down slope
of the east -west roadway) during winter weather. Parking "only" on the east/south
side may give a Wilson Plat 1 homeowner more "road" to maneuver in "icy road
conditions" especially at the bottom on the curve area. If people are parked there,
there is no place to maneuver one's vehicle without hitting another vehicle.
Prohibiting vehicles being parked on the west and north sides of the road at the
curve area of the two new roads may avoid parked vehicles being struck by vehicles
sliding downhill during poor weather road conditions. Keeping people parking on the
east and south side of the roadway may also minimize vehicles parking illegally on
City streets by parking in the "wrong direction" (RCW 46.61.575). This RCW mentions
vehicles parking with tires against the "right side of the curb". Parking on the east
and south sides encourages this as drivers tend to enter and park to the right curb as
opposed to turning their vehicles around (facing downhill) prior to parking on the
opposite side of the street.
The proposed road entering from S.
55th
Street is indicated as being 26 feet wide with
parking allowed on one side of the road. RMC 4-6-060 (2009) requires that 6' parking
lanes be allowed for on one side of a residential street. This same RMC requires an 8'
parking lane on arterial streets. It is confusing that the RMC seems to indicate that
vehicles parked on residential streets needs less width to park than vehicles parked
on arterial streets. On paper, for calculation purposes, the required 6' parking lane
subtracted from the 26' road width leaves 20' for vehicles access (particularly
emergency vehicles). In reality, the parking width needed for a legally parked vehicle
is 8', subtracted from 26', leaves an 18' width for emergency vehicles (below
recognized nation standards). While the submitted roads within the plat meet the
current RMC, the City made consider revisiting the long-term impacts of allowing
substandard street widths on residential streets.
Plat 2 indicates sidewalks on both sides of the street and Plat 1 indicates sidewalks
only on one side of the street. We suggest that if sidewalks are only required on one
side that they be placed only on the 'parking only' of the street. Moving the sidewalk
to the south side of the street in Plat 1 would allow a connected flow between the
plats and tie them together with the walking path in Plat 2. Elimination of the west
side sidewalk in Plat 2 would allow for a wider roadway (creating better parking
space on the east side of the street).
There remain significant concerns over the protection of the four (4) Geneva Court
subdivision properties located west of the new roads serving Plat 1 and 2. These new
roads run directly ABOVE the adjacent homeowners lots. Headlights from vehicles
driving in a westerly direction on the street in Plat 1 at night will be aimed directly at
the rear of the houses in the adjoining Geneva Court neighborhood. We are also
concerned if vehicles on the new road lose control at the bottom of their hill, they
will breach our wooden 5 foot current fences and end up in our backyard. Lastly, we
are concerned with noise and visual impacts that minimize our enjoyment of our
properties.
We feel the impact could be minimized by installation of a safe, sturdy, tali
retaining/barrier wall across the back of all 4 current homes (along the entire
western section of Plat 1). Currently there is only a 5 foot wooden fence on a slope.
We suggest a retaining wall which is at least 6 foot tall and concrete. The concrete
wall would be to the east of our current wooden fence. To the east of the new
concrete barrier wall, we ask that Evergreen trees (such as fast growing Leland
Cypress trees) be planted as they will also help with noise and visual impacts.
3. ACCESS
The issue of access to the Wilson Plats from and to S. 55th Street was identified and
addressed in the Plat 1 process. Concern remains that this access point will become
problematic, due to the serpentine nature of the road, the narrow width of the
existing S.
55th
Street and the significant slope of the roadway on S. 55th.
Concerns
exist over how school buses will safely (for students and other drivers) serve these
new homes as weft as delivery trucks, garbage trucks, etc. While sidewalks are being
required for the new plats, there are currently NO sidewalks on S. 55th
Street. So the
Wilson Plat sidewalks do not lead to "anywhere". Due to the narrow existing
shoulder and narrow road width, pedestrian foot traffic on S. 55th (outside of and
serving the Wilson Plat) is either not possible or done at a risk that is beyond
acceptable — especially to children.
During the Wilson Plat 1 process, the establishment of a homeowners association
HOA) was identified as a requirement. It is recommended that with Wilson 1 and 2
being developed concurrently that only one homeowners association be established
serving both Wilson 1 and 2 (as opposed to two separate associations).
During the Wilson Plat 1 process, concerns from adjacent homeowners as well as
from the Hearing Examiner were made about impacts (visual and safety issues) along
the adjoining boundary with the existing Geneva Court subdivision (located to the
west of the site). These concerns remain and it is requested that part of the
concurrent Wilson 1 & 2 development address these (safety & visual). A safe and
adequate separating retaining wall (prefer a minimal height of 6 feet and concrete)
along the entire western section of Plat 1 is requested. Currently there is only a 5
foot wooden fence on a slope. The maintenance of this retaining wail shall be the
responsibility of the Wilson HDA.
Candidly, it has been difficult to determine what has been approved for the final
Wilson Plat 1. Our understanding is that no final plat site map exists indicating final
outcomes of the Hearing Examiner (4/1/10), the appealed changes, or the Council's
actions (8/16/10). Absent drawings that reflect the written changes, if it difficult to
make informed comments on development impacts.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is to be accessed from its south side by a roadway off South 55" Street
going northward into the site. The original land will be lying on the west side of this read
and the added land lying east of the road. The original land is generally flat. while the
added ]and slopes upward easterly moderately. The added land is flanked b}Y a steep slope
up to about 6 to 1' feet high on its west side which appears to be a tut slope made years
ago to allow the origin land being graded flat. The added land is dotting by tall mature.
deciduous and evergreen trees and covered by dense brush and vine. The trees are all
straight voth no bents in the trunks or do,.N•nbill leaning. No signs of' erosion or sail
movement have been noted within the added land.
SURFACE CONIIITTONS
Subsurface condition of the: added land was explored with three test pits excavated on
FebruaiN''F. 3011. to depths front 6.01 to 6.5 feet. The approximate locations of the test
pits are shoN n on Plate I - Site and Exploration Location Plan. The test pits -, -ere located
with either a tape measure or by visual reference to existing topographic features in the
field and on the topo Taphic surrey- map. and their locations should be considered oniv
accurate to the measuring method used.
A geotechnical engineer from our office was present during subsurface exploration, who
examined the soil and geologic conditions encountered and completed logs of test pits.
Soil samples obtained from each soil unit in the test pits were visually classified in
general accordance -with l?nited Soil Classification Stistem. a copy of which is presented

on Plate 2. Detailed deicriptions of soil units encountered during site exploration are
presented in the test pit Ings on Plates 3 through 4.
The test pits encountered a layer of loose, organic topsoil, k`rom 8 to 10 inches thick-. on
the surface. The topsoil is underlain by a laver of brntiN-n tel light-bro-wri.. ablation rill
weathered till) of medium -dense. silty fine sand, with a trace of to some gravel and
occasional cobble and boulder. about 3-5 to 4.2 feet thick. Underling the ablation till to
the depths explored is a iodgmont till (fresh till) deposit of light -brown to light -gray.
ver\ -dense, -% eakly-cement, silty line sand with same gravel. The soil condition of added
land is generally similar tea that of the original land.
GROUNDWATER CONDITION
Grounds+ater seepage was not encountered in any of the test pigs excavated on the added
land.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Bascd on the subsurface (sail and ground«atcr) condition encountered in the test pits
excavated on the added land_ the geotechnical recommendations in our 11,22 1-004
geotechnical report should also be applicable to the development of the added land. it is
our opinion that added land should be quite stable and geologic hazards Over the added
land should be minimal if the recommendations ui our 11/221`2004 report are full
implemented and observed during. construction.

L&A Job No. 4AI34
INTRODUCTION
We have completed a geotechnical engineering study for the site of a proposed 4 -lot short plat,
located at the above address in Renton, Washington. The general location of the site is shown on
Plate 1 -- Vicinity Map. We understand that the proposed development for the site is to plat its
western portion into four single-family residential building lots, on each of which a single-family
residence will be constructed. The purpose of this study is to characterize the subsurface
conditions of the site and provide geotechnical recommendations for grading, surface and ground
water control, erosion abatement, site stabili-Zation, and foundation design and construction for
the proposed development:. Presented in this report are our findings of the site conditions and
geotechnical recommendations for the proposed development.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
For our use in this study, you provided us with a topographic survey plan of the site, prepared by
Cramer Northwest, Inc. As shown on Plate 2 - Site Plan and Exploration Location Plan, the

subject site is an irregularly-shaped tract of land, partially fronted by the right-of-way of the
winding South 1920d Street to the south. The site is currently undeveloped and heavily wooded.
We understand that the proposed development for the site is to platted its gently to moderately
sloped western 95 feet into four single-family residential building lots. Site grading may require
cut and fill to some degree for the northern two lots.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our scope of services for this study comprises specifically the following:
1 Review the geologic and soil conditions at the site based on a published geologic map.
2. Explore the subsurface conditions of the site with backhoe test pits.
3_ Perform necessary geotechnical analyses and provide geotechnical recommendations for
site grading, site stability enhancement, erosion abatement, surface and ground water
control, and foundation design and construction, based on subsurface conditions
eacountemed in the test pits and results of our geotechnical analyses.
4. Prepare a written report to present our findings, eoncIusions, and recornmendati ons.
SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE CONDITIONS
The subject site is partially bounded by South 192nd
Street to the south, and is 4oined by single-
family residences to north and west and by a wooded land to the east. The site is currently vacant
and undeveloped. It is situated on a moderate to steep, westerly -declining hillside. The terrain
within the site mostly .slopes moderately to steeply down to the west, except that the ground
within the western 95 feet of the site, which is to be developed into four building lots, is mostly
gently to moderately sloped down to the west at grades from less than 5 percent to 32 percent.

The middle of the proposed 4 --lot plat area has been cleared previously, with a remnant concrete
driveway off South 192 l
Street to about the mid -depth of the proposed 4 -lot plat area. The
unpaved area is now overgrown with brush and berry bushes. Matured deciduous trees scatter
throughout the interior (northern two lots) and the perimeter of the southern two lots of the
proposed 4 -lot plat area, with occasionai mature evergreen trees mixed in between.
GEOLOGIC SETTING
The Geologic. Map of the Renton Quadrangle, King County, Washin tgton, by D_ R. Multineaux,
published by U. S. Geological Survey in 1965, was referenced for the geologic and soil
conditions at the site_ According to this publication, the. surficial soil units at and in the vicinity
of the subject site are mapped as Kame Terrace (Qit) underlain by Ground Moraine (Qe.
The geology of the Puget Sound Lowland has been modified by the advance and retreat of
several glaciers in the past and subsequent deposits and erosion. The latest glacier advanced to
the Puget Sound Lowland is referred to as the Vashon Stade of the Fraser Glaciation, which has
occurred during the later stages of the Pleistocene Epoch and retreated from the region some
14,500 years ago.
The kame terrace deposits were laid down by ice -marginal streams flowing between higher
ground on one side and an ice margin on the other side during the last glaciation. They consist
mostly of silty sand and gravel to cobble. Locally, they also contain lenses and pods of till and
beds of sand, silt and clay. The kame terrace deposits were, however, not encountered by the test

The ground moraine deposits are mostly thin ablation till over lodgmont till, deposited by Puget

compact mixture of unsorted clay, silt, sand, gravel and cobble, commonly referred to as -hard
pan". The ablation till is similar to lodgmont till, but is much less compact and coherent. The
thickness generally varies from 2 to 4 feet for ablation till, and 5 to 30 feel for lodgmont till_ The
lodgmont till is practically impervious, except local lenses of sand and gravel. It has the strength
of a low-grade concrete and can stand in a steep natural or cut slope for a long period. The
lodgmoat till can provide excellent foundation support with little settlement expected. The
overlying ablation till is generally in a looser state, and is more compressible and permeable.
SOIL CONDITIONS
Subsurface conditions of the subject site were explored on November 14, 2004, with six test pits.
The test pits were excavated with a fire -mounted -backhoe. to depths from 5.0 to 8.0 feet. The
approximate locations of the test pits are shown on Plate 2 -.Site and Exploration Location Pian.
The test pits were located with either a tape measure -
r
or by visual reference to existing
topographic features in the field and on the topographic survey map, and their locations should be
considered only accurate to the measuring method used.
A geotechnical engineer from our office was present during subsurface exploration, wha
examined the soil and geologic conditions encountered and completed logs of test pits. soil
samples obtained from each soil unit in the test pits were visually classified in general
accordance with United Soil Classification System, a copy of which is presented on Plate 3.
Detailed descriptions of soil units encountered during site exploration are presented in the fast pit
logs on Plates 4 through b.
The test pits revealed that the site is mantled by a layer of loose, organic topsoil, from. 1.0 to 2.5
feet thick. The topsoil is generally underlain by a layer of brown ablation till soils of loose to
medium -dense, silty fine sand, with a trace of gravel and occasional cobble and boulder, about

lot plat. Underlying the ablation till to the depths explored is a lodgmont till deposit of light -
brown to light -gray, dense to very -dense, weakly -cement, silty fine sand with a trace of gravel,
except in Test Pit 2 where the ablation till was found underlain by weakly -cemented, fine -to -
medium -grain sandstone bedrock. Fragments of this sandstone bedrock was also found mixed in
the lodgmont till deposit in Test Pit 3.
CONDMONIROUNDWATER
roundwater seepage was not encountered in any of the test pits. The lodgmont till deposit and
to a lesser extent the sandstone bedrock underlying the site at shallow depth is practically
impervious and would perch stormwater infiltrating into the more permeable surficial topsoil and
ablation till soils. This near -surface perched groundwater may dry up completely in summer
months and may accumulate and rise during the wet winter months. The depth to and the amount
of perched groundwater may fluctuate seasonally, depending on precipitation, surface runoff
ground vegetation cover, site utilization, and other factors.
DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDAT1lONS
Cl103V-
Based on the soil conditions encountered in our subsurface explorations, it is our opinion that the
site is suitable for the proposed development from the geotechnical engineering viewpoint,
provided that the recommendations in this report are fully implemented and observed during
construction. The loose topsoil and unsuitable weak soils in the root zone should be completely
stripped within the driveways, the building footprints and where the subgrade soils are to support
structural or traffic load. The dense to very -dense lodgmont till at shallow depth are of high

shear strength and can provide excellent foundation support to driveways and buildings with little
settlement.
Conventional footing foundations placed on or into the underlying dense to very -dense lodgmont
till soils may be used for supporting the houses to be constructed on the platted lots. Structural
fill, if required for site grading, should be constructed over the underlying dense to very -dense
lodgmout till soils following the stripping of surf cial unsuitable soils.
The on-site topsoil and ablation till soils contain a high percentage of fines, and is sensitive to
moisture. It can also be saturated quickly and result in heavy runoff with potential soil erosion
over the steeper portion of the site during extended periods of heavy rainstorms. One or multiple
Imes of _c_
1nUi
dramm hould be installed along the upslope side of the construction areas, as
required, to intercept and drain surface runoff and near -surface perched groundwater to minimize
soil erosion and facilitate site grading during construction.
Perrnanent fill to be placed over slopes steeper than 15 percent grade should be retained
structurally. Structural fill, if required for site grading, should be placed on compacted and
proof -rolled, unyielding, undisturbed, firm, native soils, following the stripping of the surfcial
unsuitable soils. The exposed ground exceeding 15 percent grade should be benched with
vertical steps not exceeding 5 feet tall prior to placing structural fill. Storm runoff over
impervious surfaces, such as roofs and paved driveway, should be collected and discharged into a
storm sewer. Concentrated stormwater should not be discharged onto the ground anywhere
within the site.

GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
Landslide Razards
The subject site is underlain at shallow depth by dense to very -dense, weakly -cemented,
lodgrnont till soils of high shear strength and to a lesser extent by weakly -cemented sandstone. It
is, therefore, unlikely for deep-seated landslides to occur on the site. The surficial topsoil and
ablation till soils are loose to medium -dense. There is a remote chance that shallow, skin -type
inudflows may occur in these surficial weak soils on steep slopes if they are overly saturated. To
mitigate such potential, the vegetation cover over the site beyond construction limits should be
maintained, concentrated storinwater should not be discharged onto the ground within the site or
its adjoining properties, and spoil soils and yardwaste should not be disposed of onto the slopes
within the site.
Erosions Hazard
The surficial topsoil and ablation till soils over the steeper portion of the site can be easily eroded
when stripped of vegetation cover on steep slopes, while the underlying weakly-cernented
lodgmont till soils are of moderately high resistance against erosion. To abate the erosion
potential in the surficial weak soils, the vegetation cover outside of construction limits should not
be disturbed. Concentrated stormwater should not be discharged onto the ground within the site.
Spoil soils and yardwaste should not be disposed of within the site. Storm rtmoff over
impervious surfaces, such as roofs and pavement, should be captured with underground drain line
systems tied to roof downspouts and by catch basins installed in pavement, and tightlined to
discharge into a stornn sewer or a suitable stormwater disposal facility. Unpaved, disturbed
ground within the site should be re -vegetated to provide erosion protection. Once the drainage
control measures for the roadways and houses are in place after the completion of the proposed
development, the amount of surface runoff and near -surface groundwater now will be reduced
which would further mitigate soil erosion and entrance site stability.

Seismic Hazard
The site is underlain at shallow depth by dense to very -dense lodgmont till soils of very high
shear strength. These competent soils and the general lack of static groundwater table at shallow
depth under the site should make it rather unlikely for such seismic hazard as liquefaction or sail
i/ lateral spreading to occur on the site. The proposed houses, however, should be designed for
seismic forces induced by strong earthquakes. Based on the soil conditions encountered by the
test pits, the site should be classified as Seismic Use Group I in the design of the proposed
warehouse in accordance with the 2003 International Building Code (IBC).
SITE PREPARATION AND GENERAL;. GRADING
Site preparation for the construction of the residences should include clearing and grubbing
within construction limits. Loose topsoil and weak soils in the root zone should be completely
stripped within the driveways, the building footprints of the proposed Douses and in areas subject
to traffic and structural loads. The exposed soils should be compacted to a non -yielding state
with a vibratory compactor and proof -rolled with a piece of heavy earthwork equipment operated
on the site.
The on-site soils contain a high percentage of `fines and are sensitive to moisture. A layer of
clean quarry spalls should be placed over excavated areas and areas of frequent traffic, as
required, to protect the subgrade soils from disturbance by construction traffic. Silt fences
should be erected along the downslope boundaries of the site to prevent sediments being
transported by storm runoff onto adjoining properties or the street. The bottom edge of the silt
fence should be embedded in a trench and ballasted with crushed rock or gravel.

EXCAVATION AND FILL SLOPES
Under no circurnstance should excavation slopes be steeper than the limits specified by local,
state and federal safety regulations if workers have to perform construction work in excavated
areas. Unsupported temporary cuts greater than 4 feet in height should be no steeper than 1H:IV'
in the surficial topsoil and ablation till soils of loose to medium -dense silty fine sand, and may be
vertical in the light -brown to light -gray lodgmont till soils of dense to very -dense, weakly
cemented, silty fine sand with a trace of gravel, or in sandstone bedrock, provided that the overall
depth of cut does, not exceed 10 feet. Permanent cut backs should be no steeper than 2H:1 V in
the surficial topsoil and ablation till soils, no steeper than 1-1/2H:1 V in the underlying lodgmont
till soils. and no steeper than 1H -1V in the sandstone bedrock if encountered. The soil units and
the stability of cut slopes should be observed and verified by a geotechnical engineer during
excavation.
Permanent fill embankments required to support structural or traffic loads should be constructed
with compacted structural fill placed over proof -rolled, undisturbed, firm native, lodgmont till
soils after the unsuitable surficial soils are stripped. Permanent fill to be placed on slopes raeper
than 15 percent grade should be retained structurally. Sloping ground exceeding IS percent
grade over which fill is to be placed should be benched with vertical steps no more than 5 feet
high after stripping of unsuitable surfieW soils_ The slope of permanent fill embankments
should be no steeper than 2H:1 V. Upon completion, the sloping face of permanent fill
embankments should be thoroughly compacted to a non -yielding state with a hoe pack.
The above recommended cut and fill slopes are under the assumption that groundwater seepage
will not be encountered during construction. if encountered, the construction work should be
immediately halted and the slope stability re-evaluated. The slopes may have to be flattened and
other measures taken to stabilize the slopes. Storm runoff should not be allowed to flow

uncontrolled over the top of cut or fill slopes. One or multiple lines of interceptor trench drains
should be installed, as required, on the uphill side of the areas to be graded to intercept and safely
drain away surface nmoff and near -surface groundwater flow. Permanent curt slopes or fill
embankments should be seeded and vegetated as soon as possible for erosion protection and
long -tern stability, and should be covered with clear plastic sheets, as required, to protect them
from erosion by stormwater until the vegetation is fully established_
STRUCTURAL FILL
f' Structural fill is the fill that supports structural or traffic load. Structural fill should consist of
r
clean soils free of organic and other deleterious substances and with particles not larger than four
inches. Structural fill should have a moisture content within one percent of its optimum moisture
content at the time of placement. The optimum moisture content is the water content in the soils
that enable the soils to be compacted to the highest dry density for a given compaction effort.
The on-site till soils contain a high percentage of fees, and may be used as structural fill only
under fair weather condition when its moisture content can be controlled to close to its optimum
moisture content. Imported material for structural fill should be clean, free -draining, granular
soils containing no more than 5% by weight finer than the No. 200 sieve based on the fraction of
the material passing No. 4 sieve, and should have individual particles not larger than four inches.
Imported structural fill should be stockpiled and covered separately from the on-site soils.
Structural fill should be placed in lifts no more than 10 inches thick in loose state, with each lift
compacted to a minimum percentage of the maximum dry density determined by ASTM D1557
Modified Praetor Method) as follows:

Page 12
A one-third increase in the above recommended allowable soil bearing pressure may be used
when considering short-term, transitory, wind or seismic loads_ For footing foundations designed
and constructed per recommendations above, we estimate that the maximum total post -
construction settlement of the buildbxgs should be 112 inch or less and the differential settlement
across building width should be 3l8 inch or less.
Lateral loads on buildings can be resisted by the friction force between the foundations and the
subgrade soils or the passive earth pressure acting on the below -grade portion of the foundations.
For the latter, the foundations must be poured "neat" against undisturbed soils or backfilled with
a clean, free -draining, compacted structural fill. We recommend. that an equivalent fluid density
EFD) of 350 pcf (pounds per cubic foot) for the passive earth pressure be used for lateral
resistance. The above passive pressure assumes that the backfill is level or inclines upward away
from the foundations for a horizontal distance at least twice the depth of the foundations below
the final grade. A coefficient of friction of 0.60 between the foundations and the subgrade soils
may be used. The above soil parameters are unfactored values, and a proper factor of safety
should be used in calculating the: resisting forces against lateral loads on the buildings_
BASEMENT AND RETAINING WALLS
Basement walls restrained horizontally at the top are considered unyielding and should be
designed for a lateral soil pressure under the at -rest condition; while retaining walls free to move
at the top should be designed for active lateral soil pressure. We recommend that a lateral soil
pressure of 45 and 65 pcf EFD be used for the design of foundation walls with level/descending
backslope and rising backslope, respectively; and 35 and 50 pcf EFD for retaining walls with
level/descending backslope and rising backslope, respectively_ To counter the active soil or at -
rest pressure, a passive lateral soil pressure of 400 pcf EFD may be used, except that the passive
pressure within the top 12 inches of the finish subgrade should be ignored. The above passive

pressure assumes that the backfill is level or inclines upward away from the walls_ The above
lateral soil pressures are tinder the assumption that groundwater behind the walls is fully drained_
To resist against sliding, the friction force between the footings and the subgrade soils may be
calculated based on a coefficient of friction of 0.60. The above soil parameters are ultimate
values, and proper factors of safety should be used in the design of the basement and retaining
wails against sliding and overturning failures. Basement walls or retaining wails may be
supported on footiaog foundations seated on or into tate underlying very -dense fresh till or very -
hard transitional beds soils, with an allowable soil bearing pressure not to exceed 3,400 psf
The is a remote possibility that shallow, stein -type mudflow may occur on the slope above the
proposed houses. We recommend that the uphill -side basement walls of the house be extended
at least 3 feet above the finish grade to act as debris catchment walls.
A vertical drainage blanket consisting of at least 12 -inch -thick free -draining pea gravel or washed
gravel should be placed against foundation and retaining walls to prevent accumulation of
groundwater behind and buildup of hydrostatic pressure against the walls. The remaining
backfill should consist of structural fill constructed per recommendations in the STRUCTURAL
FILL section of this report. The top 12 inches of backfili should consist of compacted, clean, on-
site soils. The backfill material for the foundation and retaining walls should be compacted with
a hand -operated compactor. Heavy compaction equipment should not be allowed closer to the
walls than a horizontal_ distance equal to the wall heights. A footing drain, as recommended in
the SITE DRAINAGE section of this report, should also be provided for foundation and retaining
walls.

SUBJECT: Wetland Verification for Wilson Park 2 (Parcel 312308-9119)
City of Renton, WA (File # PRE11-004)
Dear Bob:
On March 1, 2011 1 conducted a wetland reconnaissance on the subject property
utilizing the methodology outlined in the 1997 Washington State Wetlands
Identification and Delineation Manual. The primary focus of the reconnaissance was
to verify the results of the wetland determination report prepared by Alder NW (dated
October 19, 2004).
The Alder NW report indicated a small (less than 800 s.f.) hydrologically isolated wet
area in the western portion of the site, immediately adjacent to the remnant
foundation of a large old loafing shed. Since the soils within this portion of the site
have been significantly disturbed, and the small marginal area appears to have been
created during historic site grading adjacent to the old shed, the Alder NW report
determined the feature to be unregulated.
Based on my wetland reconnaissance, I concur with the findings of the Alder NW
report that the area consists of a small (well under 2,200 s.f.) hydrologically isolated
Category 3 wetland. Small hydrologically isolated Category 3 wetlands are exempt
from the City's critical area regulations if they meet the following provisions of RMC
IV-3-050.C.5.f.
1) Standing water is not present in sufficient amounts, i.e., approximately twelve
inches (12' to eighteen inches (18") in depth from approximately December
through May, to support breeding amphibians;
EXHIBIT 20
Bob Wilson

Page 2
At the time of the March 1, 2011 field investigation, soils within the wetland were
generally saturated near the surface and ponding was limited to depths of about 2
inches within scattered disturbed pockets. Since ponding is restricted to small very
shallow isolated pockets, this provision has been met.
2) Species listed by Federal or State government as endangered or threatened, or
the presence of essential habitat for those species, are not present;
The wetland does not contain any species listed by Federal or State government as
endangered or threatened, nor does it contain essential habitat for those species.
3) Some font of mitigation is provided for hydrologic and water quality functions, for
example, stormwater treatment or landscaping or other mitigation; and
It is my understanding that as part of the proposed project, all runoff from impervious
surfaces on the site will be treated and retained prior to downstream discharge.
4) A wetland assessment is prepared by a qualified professional demonstrating the
criteria of the exemption are met. The wetland assessment shall be subject to
independent secondary review at the expense of the applicant consistent with
subsection F7 of this Section.
I have conducted a secondary review of the Alder NW report and have verified that all of
the criteria of RMC IV -3-050.C.51 have been met.
In addition to the wet area, the Alder NW report also describes a drainage course
that flows from east to west through the southern portion of the site. As identified in
the report, this drainage originates at the top of the slope from an outfall of a storm
drain line which collects surface water runoff from S. 192nd Street. Since this
artificially collected runoff is conveyed within a channel where no channel previously
existed, it also should not be subject to critical area regulation.
Conclusion
Pursuant to an on-site reconnaissance, the findings of the Alder NW report were
confirmed and no regulated wetlands or streams were identified on the property.

Dear W. Singh
As requested we have' a site zvah ation for tha gropcq low on the north side of South 192nd Stma at 98th Anemic
South in the City of Renton. -1t is identified as King County Parcel #3123059119. The location of the propeaty is shown
on the Vicinity Map (Figure 1). The purpose of this work was to conduct a site evaluation to detam ire if wetlands or
ofl r surface water futures are preseut on the property,
In conducting cur site evaimatoa to identify possi-ble wetland areas we fllowcd the general procedures for the rotrtine on -
she -methodology as outlined in the March 1997 Washington Mate Wedands Identfication and Deltneatlon Mwwl,
prepared by the Wasbingtrm Stale Department of Ecology. This procedure iavolves anatysis of vegetation patterns, soil
conditions, and near -surface hydrology in making a determination of wetland conditions. This meffieWagy is similar to
the procedures outlined in the Corps of Engineers Wetkmd Dehneatdon Manual TechM crd Report Y-871(1987).
Our scope of work included a site visit on September 73, 2004, at which time we completed our site evaluation- The
appro33mate location of the wetbna.d is iilusftWad on the Site Map (F re 2)_
PROCEDURES
For the purpose ofthis study, we used the wetland definition adopwd by the Environm=W FroUcdon Agency (EPA) and
the Army Corps of EaSineers (COE) for adtiistezing Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Aocarciing to this definition,
wetlands are:
Those areas that are inundated or satuwod by surface water or groum1wacr at a frequency and
duration sufficient to support, and that under normal arcs mstances do support, a prevalence of
vegetation typically adapted for life in saturatod soil coaditiom. Wetlan& gcaraally include
swamps, marshes, bogs, and ftilaC areas. (33 CFR 3231
In Washington State, the Shoreline Management Act and Growth Mang-== Act live amended tip definition to
esdude some wetland dblati by adding ttu following sentences to the wetland defiaitiow

Wetlands do not include those artificial wetlands interbonally created frown non -wetland sites,
including but not limited to, irrigation and drainage ditches, grass -lined swales, canals, demon
facilities, wastewater tient facilities, farm ponds, and landscape amenities, or those wetlands
created after illy 4 1990, that were intentionally.created as a res A of the conatruction of a road,
street or Highway. Wetlands may is tude those ardfcial wetlands imtunonally created from non-
wedand areas to rugate the conversion of was.
In a.ocordauce with this definition, a given area is dcs4psawd as jurisdictional wetland if the hydrology results in im ndated
or saturated soils during -the growing season, hydric soils are prescr, and tho dominad vegetation is hydrophytic.
Delineation procedures are based on diagnostic enviromuenW indicators of wetland vegetadeA, wetland sods, and
wetUnd hydrology. By deimition, an area is designated as wetland octan there ora positive indicators for aIL throc
Parameters.
A listing of plant species has been developed for use in the methodology for delineating wetland areas." 'Phis listing
assigns phut species to one of five indicator status ratcgorics rouging from Obligate wetland species, which almost
always occur in. wetlands. to Upload species, which rarely aeca in wetlands. Under normal conditicros, hydrophytic
vegetation is dstermincd to be press d if more thaw 50 percent of the dominant species arc in the Obligate (URL),
Facultative Wetland (FACW), or Facultative (FAC) mdicater categories.
Diagnostic indicators of hydric soils are related to soil sat m tim which leads to mmeivbie coaditim in the soil. Under
these condi ions, decomposition of organic material is inhibited and sod minerals are reduced, creating clzmwWristic soil
colors that can be grant ficd by comparisau with Mmseli Sod Color Charts. A ch m a of nae or less in umnoWed soils
or a chroma. of two or less in motdod soils generally indicates a hydric soil. In additioir, sons that are saturated during the
growing seasoti satisfy -a criterion for hydric soils. We used a hand auger to collect soil samples from a depth of 8 to 15
inches.
Wetland hydrology is defined as wed or saturated soil conditions for at least 14 consectithe days during the growing
season. If no water is present at the tone of evaluation, other indicators my incinde topographic low points or c mmels,
flood debris, complete absence of vegetation, or pm=cc of hydric soils.
Standardized data forms are available to record observations on each parameter. For ilriss project, we completed data
farms for the Routime On -Site Deterrninadon Method at 3 locations on the site. Copus of these data Ennis are included
with this report.
SITE CONDMONS
The subject property is an irregularly shaped property with an area. of.appradmately 2.1.5 acres. Al present the site is
undeveloped and is occupied by a mdced forest and. The property to the north is cantly undeveloped and is shnilarly
occupied by mixed forest stand Adjacent properties to the east, west and off the northwest corner of the property are
occapled by existing =Fft family homes.
TopograpbicaW. the property generally slopes steeply down from the east property line at about elev. 298 to a slightly'
sloping bench whiob slopes down £turn about elev. 240 to about elev. 220.at the west property line 71 is somewhat flatter

Vegetation on the more steeply sloping eastera two thirds of the property is cbarxcriaed as mixed mann mixed forest:
Predan ra a trees present are Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga nwndesti), and big leaf maple (Acer mucrophyllum), with
scattered black cottorm-ood (Populus balsamiftra)'and red alder (Alnus rubra) trees prewnt closer W the We of the steep
slope. The predwainant undetstoay shrub species is Oso plum (Oemleria cera sifonnisl with sword £eta (Pc&sdch=

There is a catch basin at the base of the slope within the South 192nd Street rcad shoulder. This catch basin collects
surfzrce water from the road side ditch along the north side of South 192nd Street as weft as sar&oc water reaching the .
bottom of the slope in the drainage channel. .
There is no evidence of a naturally occunimg topographic suale.which aught have carried a naturally 0==g se sozial

ADDENDUM TO "TECHNICAL INFORMATION REPORT"

OVERVIEW
The proposed Wilson Park #2 is a 10 lot single family residential subdivision situated on
1 existing lot with a total area of 2.15 acres. It is located on the north side of South
55"' Street at Ph Avenue South, when extended. The project was part of an earlier
submittal called Wilson Park (LUA09-140). The property was evaluated for development
of a road and utilities to access Wilson Park. The Technical Information Report
prepared by Baima & Holmberg dated May 5, 2003, discusses the onsite areas, off site
drainage systems, and evaluates the downstream drainage system.
This report is provides the necessary preliminary review of the drainage system for
Wilson Park #2. As part of the report, a stormwater treatment system was proposed
within the roadway at the entry of the new road and South 55''. This system was only
sized, at that time, for Wilson Park and the road improvements on Wilson Park #2.
Additional impervious areas will be added to this treatment system with the addition of
10 lots within Wilson Park #2.
Attached within this addendum are calculations that are intended to be a starting point
for sizing the storm treatment facility for the two projects. Under the 2009 City of
Renton Drainage Manual, Best Management Practices (BMP's) are required to be used
for new developments. One of these BMP's is restricting the impervious areas on the
future lots to help reduce runoff, mitigate for development, and minimize the treatment
system needed for the project. This Restrictive Covenant provision was utilized as part
of a preliminary sizing of the future system for both projects. It is anticipated that the
two projects will occur (be developed) simultaneously.
A review of the two developments utilizing a 3,300 square feet of impervious area per
lot created the proposed stormwater vault shown on the Drainage/Utilities Plan. Based
upon experience developing building footprints and impervious areas on building
permits of similar size lots, 3,300 square feet gives the future builder plenty of
impervious coverage for the home, patio, driveways, and walkways. Once the final
engineering plans are developed and cost evaluations are reviewed for this facility,
restricting the lots further is an option to minimize the facility needed.
This is a preliminary review of a possible scenario that a future developer can use.

Project Overview
This project involves developing a 2.5 -acre parcel into 13 single-family lots. The site
currently is occupied with a single residence, lawn and wooded areas. The site is located
about 250' north of South 55th Street, about 150' east of the east terminus of South 53rd
Place, on the slope overlooking SR 167, about 1/z mile to the west. The site generally
slopes down to the west at an average slope of approximately 20%. Per the SCS soil
maps, the site is underlain with Alderwood soil, sandy loam over glacial till.
Upstream Tributary Drainage
A portion of the parcel to the east of the site drains onto the site. No problems related to
this runoff was noted.
Level 1 Downstream Drainage Analysis
In general, runoff from the site flows west into lots in the adjacent development,
Geneva Court (A). The majority of these runoff flows apparently collect in the drain
behind an 8'± rockery (B) constructed along the back yards of the west -most lots of said
development or in area drains in the back yards, then flow into the storm system in
South 53rd Place (C & D). This flow collects in a stormwater pond/bioswale facility
located at the intersection of South 53`d Place and Talbot Road South (E), about 750'
downstream from the site. This facility outfalls through an 18" pipe to the west side of
Talbot Road South into a shallow, poorly defined channel flowing west through the
woods (F). The flows pass through a short 12" culvert (H) under a walking path then
disappear into thick woods/brush, continuing to flow west to a wooded wetland area (1)
beyond 'A mile downstream from the site. This wetland apparently drains to a 10' X 5'±
box culvert crossing under SR -167 (Q), about % mile downstrearn from the site.
A small area of the south part of the site drains southwest across the south property line
of the site into the adjacent parcel to the south (Z). These runoff flows through woods,
collecting in a ditches along South
551h Street (K)(about 350' downstream from the site)
and/or Talbot Road South (L)( about 800' downstream from the site). Flows into the
ditch along South 55`
h
Street (K) continue west in a 6"-12" rock -lined ditch channel

PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND
The applicant proposes to subdivide a 2.15 acre parcel into 10 lots for the eventual development of
detached single family homes, and 1 tract for open space. The site is zoned Residential -14 dwelling units
per acre (R-14) and Residential — 1 dwelling unit per acre (R-1). The R-1 portion of the site is considered to
be Urban Separator, and as such 50% of the Urban Separator area is required to be dedicated as open
space.
New residential lots would range in size from 5,559 square feet to 6,778 square feet. The open space tract
would be 19,164 s.f. in size.
Proposed density averages 6.4 dwelling units per acre across the site, with 9 lots proposed for the portion
within the R-14 Zone, and 1 residential lot proposed within the R-1 Zone. A Planned Urban Development is
proposed in order to modify minimum lots sizes within the R-1 zone and to provide larger lots within the
R-14 zone. Access would be provided from South 55th Street via a new street that would be constructed
as part of the approved Wilson Park I subdivision (LUA09-140, PP, ECF).
The topography of the site slopes upward from the west to the east; an area of steep protected slopes
occurs on the eastern portion of the site, Site soils are comprised of Kame Terrace and Ground Moraine
which are glacial till soils. Approximately 820 cubic yards of material would be excavated and 11,200 cubic
yards of fill would be required to accomplish the project.
A small wetland is located on the western portion of the site. This wetland is not regulated per Renton
Municipal Code. Of the 82 trees onsite, 21 would be removed for the construction of the new street, 10
would be retained, and new trees would be planted, including 2 new trees per lot.
The project requires Environmental (SEPA) Review, Planned Urban Development (PUD) Review, and
Preliminary Plat review.
PART TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those
project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and
environmental regulations.
A. Environmental Threshold Recommendation
Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible
Officials:
Issue a DNS -M with a 14 -day Appeal Period.
B. Mitigation Measures
1. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations contained in the Geotechnical
Engineering Study, prepared by Liu & Associates, Inc. dated November 22, 2004 and amended
February 15, 2012, for the duration of project construction.
2. The applicant shall provide a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Plan designed pursuant to
the Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements outlined in Volume II
ERC Report. doe

of the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual and provide staff with a Construction Mitigation
Plan prior to issuance of construction permits. This mitigation measure shall be subject to
review and approval of the Development Services Division.
3. The applicant shall provide weekly reports on the status and condition of the erosion control
plan with any recommendations of change or revision to maintenance schedules or installation
shall be submitted by the Project Engineer of record to the Public Works inspector.
4. Because of moisture -sensitive fine-grained soils mantling the site and the higher gradient areas
within the site the geotechnical study recommends that grading and foundation construction
be carried out and completed within the dryer period of the year from April 1 through October
31 unless otherwise approved by the Development Services Division. Therefore, the applicant
shall adhere to a construction schedule involving grading and foundation work during the dryer
period of the year.
5. The applicant shall pay a Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per each new single family lot
prior to recording the final plat.
6. The applicant shall be required to pay a Traffic Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each new
average daily vehicle trip associated with the proposed project prior to recording of the final
plat.
7. The applicant shall be required to pay a Fire Mitigation Fee based on $488.00 per each new
single family lot prior to recording the final plat.

D. Environmental Impacts
The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine
whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to
occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal
is likely to have the following probable impacts:
1. Earth
Impacts: The subject site is located on a broad moderate to steep westerly -sloping hillside. This
downward slope is at grades of 13 to 39 percent. Steeper slopes greater than 40% are located on
the eastern portion of the site. The higher gradient portions of the site generally lie within the
eastern 100 to 200 feet and the western 150 to 200 feet of the site. Approximately 820 cubic yards

of earth material would be cut and approximately 11,200 cubic yards of fill would be imported for
the proposal.
The applicant submitted a Geotechnical Engineering Study prepared by Liu & Associates, Inc. dated
November 22, 2004 and amended February 15, 2012. The report identifies the soils on the site as
Kame Terrace deposits underlain by Ground Moraine. Kame Terrace deposits consist mostly of silty
sand and gravel to cobble. Locally, they may also contain lenses and pods of till and beds of sand,
silt and clay. According to the Geotechnical Report, these isolated lenses were not encountered on
the subject site. Kame Terrace deposits are of moderately -high to high permeability and can
provide good foundation support to structure in their native undisturbed state. Ground Moraine
deposits are mostly thin ablation till over lodgment till, and were deposited during the retreat of
glaciers during the last Ice Age, more than 14,000 years ago. Lodgment till is generally a compact
mixture of unsorted clay, silt, sand, gravel and cobble, commonly referred to as "hard pan".
Ablation Till is similar to lodgment till, but is much less compact and coherent. Lodgment Till is
practically impervious, except local lenses of sand and gravel. It has the character of low-grade
concrete and can stand in a steep natural or cut slope for long periods. This soil provides excellent
foundation support with little settlement expected. Overlying ablation till is generally looser and is
more compressible and permeable.
The site contains areas of protected slopes (greater than 40%) in the northeastern portion of the
property. This area of protected slopes would be contained within Tract A. There is also a cut
slope on the west portion of the property that slopes up to about 6 to 12 feet. This slope likely
resulted from the original land grading.
Subsurface conditions on the site were explored in November 2004 via six (6) test pits on the
western half of the site. The test pits sampled soil at depths ranging from 5.0 to 8.0 feet. The test
pits identified a layer of loose, organic topsoil from 1.0 to 2.5 feet thick. The topsoil is generally
underlain by a layer of brown Ablation Till soils of loose to medium -dense, silty fine sand, with a
trace of gravel and occasional cobble and boulder, about 1.0 to 3.2 feet thick. Underlying the
Ablation Till to the depths explored is a Lodgment Till deposit of light -brown to light -gray, dense to -
very -dense, weakly -cement, silty fine sand with a trace of gravel.
Additional test pits were explored for the eastern half of the site in February 2012. These recent
test pits included a layer of loose, organic topsoil, from S to 10 inches thick, on the surface. The
topsoil is underlain by a layer of brown to light -brown ablation till (weathered till) of medium -
dense, silty fine sand, with a trace of to some gravel and occasional cobble and boulder, about 3.5
to 4.0 feet thick. Underlying the Ablation Till to the depths explored is a Lodgment Till (fresh till)
deposit of light -brown to light -gray, very -dense, weakly -cement, silty fine sand with some gravel.
The soil conditions of added land are generally similar to that of the original land.
Both report conclude that the subject site is stable and can support the development provided the
recommendations of the November 22, 2004 report are fully implemented and observed during
construction.
The topsoil and loose to medium -dense weathered soils on-site are of low resistance to erosion.
Erosion may occur in the weaker surficial soils over the higher gradient areas if they are devoid of
vegetation. Progressive erosion can lead to shallow, skin -type mudflows. The geotechnical report
recommends preservation and maintenance of vegetation outside of construction limits to mitigate
this potential hazard. The study also recommends that concentrated stormwater should not be
discharged uncontrolled onto the ground. Stormwater from impervious surfaces should be

captured by underground drain line systems connected to roof downspouts or by catch basins
installed in roadways and driveways. Temporary erosion control measures are also recommended
and these include: a thin layer of quarry spalls placed over excavated areas to protect the subgrade
soils from disturbance by construction traffic; silt fences installed along the downhill sides of
construction areas to prevent sediment from being transported onto adjacent properties or
streets; and ditches or interceptor trench drains installed on the uphill sides of construction areas
to intercept and drain away storm runoff and near -surface groundwater seepage.
In order to mitigate for potential geotechnical impacts such as erosion, staff recommends a
mitigation measure which requires compliance with the recommendations contained in the
Geotechnical Engineering Study, prepared by Liu & Associates, Inc. dated November 22, 2004 and
amended February 15, 2012. Staff also recommends that the applicant provide a Temporary
Erosion and Sedimentation Plan designed pursuant to the Department of Ecology's Erosion and
Sediment Control Requirements outlined in Volume II of the 2005 Stormwater Management
Manual and provide staff with a Construction Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of construction
permits. This mitigation measure shall be subject to review and approval of the Development
Services Division. Staff further recommends that weekly reports on the status and condition of the
erosion control plan with any recommendations of change or revision to maintenance schedules or
installation shall be submitted by the Project Engineer of record to the Public Works inspector.
Because of moisture -sensitive fine-grained soils mantling the site and the higher gradient areas
within the site the geotechnical study recommends that grading and foundation construction be
carried out and completed within the dryer period of the year from April 1 through October 31
unless otherwise approved by the Development Services Division. Staff recommends that as a
mitigation measure that the applicant adhere to a construction schedule involving grading and
foundation work during the dryer period of the year.
Mitigation Measures:
1. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations contained in the Geotechnical
Engineering Study, prepared by Liu & Associates, Inc. dated November 22, 2004 and
amended February 15, 2012, for the duration of project construction.
2. The applicant shall provide a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Plan designed pursuant
to the Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements outlined in
Volume II of the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual and provide staff with a
Construction Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of construction permits. This mitigation
measure shall be subject to review and approval of the Development Services Division.
3. The applicant shall provide weekly reports on the status and condition of the erosion
control plan with any recommendations of change or revision to maintenance schedules or
installation shall be submitted by the Project Engineer of record to the Public Works
inspector.
4. Because of moisture -sensitive fine-grained soils mantling the site and the higher gradient
areas within the site the geotechnical study recommends that grading and foundation
construction be carried out and completed within the dryer period of the year from April 1
through October 31 unless otherwise approved by the Development Services Division.
Therefore, the applicant shall adhere to a construction schedule involving grading and
foundation work during the dryer period of the year.

2. Storm Water
Impacts: A Technical Information Report (dated May 5, 2009) was prepared by Baima and
Holmberg Inc, for the previous Wilson Park l Plat. An addendum to this report was prepared by
Baima and Holmberg on February 28, 2012 to consider the current proposal. The May 2009 report
includes an analysis of upstream tributary drainage which states that the parcel to the east drains
onto the site, with no problems related to runoff. The Level 1 Downstream Drainage Analysis in the
report states that runoff from the site flows west into lots in the adjacent Geneva Court
development. The majority of these flows collect in a drain constructed along the back yards of the
westernmost lots of the Geneva Court development and then flow into the storm system in South
53rd Place. This flow collects in a stormwater pond/bioswale facility located at the intersection of
Talbot Road S and South
53rd
Place approximately 750 -feet downstream from the site. This facility
outfalls through an 18 -inch pipe to the west side of Talbot Road S into a poorly defined channel
flowing into the woods. The flows then pass through a 12 -inch culvert under a walking path and
continue to flow west to a wooded wetland area more than a quarter mile downstream from the
site. Flows into the ditch along S
55th
Street continue west in a rock lined channel along the north
side of the street to the intersection of Talbot Road S and S
55th
Street. The channel is eroded and
shows signs of flowing into the street. Flows from the ditch along Talbot Road 5 collect in the
storm system about 850 -feet downstream from the site eventually flowing into Springbrook Creek
at about 1,800 -feet downstream from the site. The Creek continues flowing west to about one-half
mile downstream of the site where it enters a box culvert crossing SR 167. The Technical
Information Report indicates that there are no apparent drainage problems.
The amended February 28, 2012 report evaluates the addition of the subject 10 -lot plat. The
original stormwater system for Wilson Park I and located within the street that would serve both
Wilson Park I and II was sized to accommodate Wilson Park I lots and the new streets including the
access street located within Wilson Park II. The addendum provides calculations intended to
evaluate the sizing of the storm treatment facility for the two projects. The report notes that City
of Renton's 2009 Drainage Manual requires Best Management Practices (BMP's) for new
developments. One BMP's is to restrict impervious areas on future lots to help reduce runoff,
mitigate for development, and minimize the treatment system needed for the project. This is
known as a "Restrictive Covenant" provision and was utilized as part of a preliminary sizing of the
future system for both Wilson Park I and II. The applicant intends to utilize the Restrictive
Covenant provision and limit impervious surface on each of the new lots in both Wilson Park I and li
to 3,300 square feet per lot. By limiting the impervious area for homes, patios, driveways and
walkways, the proposed stormwater vault will be of an appropriate size to accommodate both
developments. The applicant has also intended to develop both plats at the same time.
Comments received from surrounding property owners expressed concern as to whether the vault
was sized appropriately to accommodate both projects. The applicant has stated that the vault is
sized to the 2009 drainage manual and will provide the necessary volume and capacity for both
projects.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation necessary.
Nexus: Not applicable.

3. Water (Wetlands)
Impacts: The applicant submitted a letter from Altmann Oliver Associates, LLC, dated March 11,
2011, that documents the wetland reconnaissance conducted on the subject property March 1,
2011. The primary focus of the reconnaissance was to verify the results of a wetland determination
report prepared by Alder NW (dated October 19, 2004), which indicated the presence of a small
less than 800 s.f.) hydrologically isolated wet area in the western portion of the site, immediately
adjacent to a remnant foundation of an old loafing shed. The Alder NW report previously indicated
that this small wetland area was unregulated as it was significantly disturbed. Altmann Oliver's
reconnaissance concurred with the previous findings, describing the wetland as a small Category 3
wetland. Altmann also confirmed that the drainage course flowing from east to west through the
southern portion of the site is from an outfall of a storm drain line that collects surface water
runoff from South 192nd Street. Therefore, the drainage course is not considered to be stream and
is not regulated by City of Renton.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation required.
Nexus: Not applicable.
4. Vegetation
Impacts: The applicant submitted a Tree Inventory and Retention Plan and a Tree Retention with
the project application. There are 82 total trees on the project site, of which 21 would be removed
for construction of the roadway, and 3 trees are within the protected slope area. There are 21
trees within the R-1 zoned area of the site, and 37 trees within the R-14 zoned area. City Code
requires that 30% of the trees in the R-1 (or 6.3 trees) and 10% of the trees in the R-14 (3.7 trees)
be retained. The applicant is proposing to retain 10 trees and plant street trees and provide
enhanced landscaping in the open space tract.
The portion of the site zoned R-1 is within the Talbot Urban Separator Overlay. The purpose of the
Urban Separator Overlay includes providing a continuous open space and wildlife corridor. The
applicant proposes to retain trees within the critical area and buffer, to plant two trees per each
new lot, and to enhance Tract A with native and ornamental trees, shrubs and groundcover. The
enhancement area will be located proximate to the comparable area within Wilson Park I to
provide for the continuous open space corridor.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation necessary.
Nexus. Not Applicable.
5. Parks and Recreation
Impacts: It is anticipated that the proposed development would generate future residents who
would use City park and recreation facilities and programs. Staff recommends that the applicant be
required to pay a Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per each new single family lot to be
payable prior to recording the final plat. The fee is estimated at $5,307.60 (10 new lots x $530.76 =
5,307.60).
Mitigation Measures:
1. The applicant shall pay a Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per each new single
family lot prior to recording the final plat.

Street via a 50 -foot wide right-of-way that was
identified on an access easement through the subject site for the Wilson Park I Plat. The roadway
would be constructed to serve both plats (Wilson Park I and II) and would be dedicated as a public
right-of-way. The roadway will have two 13 -foot wide travel lanes, 8 -foot planter strips on each
side, and 5 -foot wide sidewalks.
The applicant submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis Report prepared by TraffEx (Northwest Traffic
Experts, dated June 23, 2004 and supplemented January 25, 2012). The report indicates that the
proposal would utilize the same access to South
55th Street s the approved Wilson Park I Plat. The
site access street intersects South 55th Street on the outside of a horizontal curve on South
55th
Street to optimize sight distance in both the east and west direction for vehicles entering and
exiting the site. The report also indicates that the horizon year for the study is considered to be
2014, as that is the year construction of both plats is anticipated. The study indicated the increase
in traffic with the proposal and determined that the traffic would operate at acceptable levels at
the intersection of South 55th Street and the new street within the plat. The Level -of -Service (LOS)
with the project was determined to be LOS B for future 2014 conditions.
Previously, the site distance on South 55th was evaluated as part of Wilson Park I. It was
determined then that the City of Renton intersection and stopping sight distance requirements in
both the east and west directions would be met.
Comments received from surrounding property owners concern the ability of school buses to safely
serve the plat. The applicant has observed that presently the Renton School District buses travel
east on South 55th in the morning, stopping in South 55th to pick-up students. The buses then
travel west in the afternoon, stopping in South 551h to drop-off students. It is anticipated that this
practice would continue with the project, and that children would wait together for pick-up. While
this is not necessarily a concern for SEPA environmental review; staff will study the issue further
and make recommendations to the Hearing Examiner during the Plat and Planned Urban
Development Nearing.
The proposal would result in an increase in traffic trips to the City's street system. Therefore, staff
recommends that the applicant pay a Traffic Mitigation Fee based on a rate of $75.00 per
additional average daily vehicle trip. Each new residence is expected to generate 9.57 trips; credit
is given for the existing residence on the subject property. The Traffic Mitigation Fee is estimated
to be $7,177.50 (10 new lots x 9.57 trips x $75.00 = $7,177.50) and would be payable prior to
recording the final plat.
Mitigation Measures:
1. The applicant shall be required to pay a Traffic Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each
new average daily vehicle trip associated with the proposed project prior to recording of the
final plat.

Renton, WA 98057
RE: LUA12-013, ECF, PP, PPUD (Wilson Park 2 Preliminary Plat)
Ms. Henning:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the above application. As the
owners of property adjacent to the subject site (located directly northwest of the site), we
have an interest in insuring negative impacts are avoided and appropriate measures are
taken in the possible development of this site. We also commented on Wilson Plat 1.
In as much as the development of this site is directly related to and is proposed to be done
concurrently with Wilson Park 1(approved by the City in 2010), some of these comments
will be related to this development in its entirety.
Comments/Concerns:
1. DRAINAGE
Development of proposed Wilson Park 2, as well as Wilson Park 1, will certainly
change the current site drainage due to increased impervious surfaces. Significant
changes to the existing slopes and changes in the current vegetation/tree coverage
will mean a change in the current natural drainage of the sites. The Wilson 2 Plat
proposal indicates it would be using the detention vault proposed for the Wilson 1
Plat. We are concerned that the vault be engineered to accept this significantly
increased additional use. We are further concerned that the outflow be properly
managed. Should the open drainage ditches along S. 55th Street be used for this
increased outflow due to development, measures should be in place to insure these
ditches to not overflow.
Under new City practices, it is assumed that the City will be the owner of the
detention vault and responsible for its maintenance and repair. Due to the unusual
location (beneath a public street), design/engineering should insure that the vault
can accept the gross vehicle weights of large trucks (garbage trucks, large fire
engines, etc.).
EXHIBIT 7
2. ROADS
The roads serving the proposed plat are outlined in the Wilson Park 1 plat and
indicate that parking will be allowed on one side of the street. As this is the case, we
recommend the City identify ahead of time which side of the road vehicles will be
allowed to park. Our neighborhood is also on a hill and based on our HOA
experiences, we suggest for Wilson Plat 2 that parking be on the east side of the road
entering the plat and the south side of the road in the Wilson 1 plat. We suggest the
sidewalks mirror parking and be "only" on the side of the road where parking is
allowed.
The suggestions for east/south side parking are: This may aid in minimizing a risk
issue identified in the Plat 1 application, that being road conditions (the down slope
of the east -west roadway) during winter weather. Parking "only" on the east/south
side may give a Wilson Plat 1 homeowner more "road" to maneuver in "icy road
conditions" especially at the bottom on the curve area. If people are parked there,
there is no place to maneuver one's vehicle without hitting another vehicle.
Prohibiting vehicles being parked on the west and north sides of the road at the
curve area of the two new roads may avoid parked vehicles being struck by vehicles
sliding downhill during poor weather road conditions. Keeping people parking on the
east and south side of the roadway may also minimize vehicles parking illegally on
City streets by parking in the "wrong direction" (RCW 46.61.575). This RCW mentions
vehicles parking with tires against the "right side of the curb". Parking on the east
and south sides encourages this as drivers tend to enter and park to the right curb as
opposed to turning their vehicles around (facing downhill) prior to parking on the
opposite side of the street.
The proposed road entering from S. 55u' Street is indicated as being 26 feet wide with
parking allowed on one side of the road. RMC 4-6-060 (2009) requires that 6' parking
lanes be allowed for on one side of a residential street. This same RMC requires an 8'
parking lane on arterial streets. It is confusing that the RMC seems to indicate that
vehicles parked on residential streets needs less width to park than vehicles parked
on arterial streets. On paper, for calculation purposes, the required 6' parking lane
subtracted from the 26' road width leaves 20' for vehicles access (particularly
emergency vehicles). In reality, the parking width needed for a legally parked vehicle
is 8', subtracted from 26', leaves an 18' width for emergency vehicles (below
recognized nation standards). While the submitted roads within the plat meet the
current RMC, the City made consider revisiting the long-term impacts of allowing
substandard street widths on residential streets.
Plat 2 indicates sidewalks on both sides of the street and Plat 1 indicates Sidewalks
only on one side of the street. We suggest that if sidewalks are only required on one
side that they be placed only on the 'parking only' of the street. Moving the sidewalk
to the south side of the street in Plat 1 would allow a connected flow between the
plats and tie them together with the walking path in Plat 2. Elimination of the west
side sidewalk in Plat 2 would allow for a wider roadway (creating better parking
space on the east side of the street).
There remain significant concerns over the protection of the four (4) Geneva Court
subdivision properties located west of the new roads serving Plat 1 and 2. These new
roads run directly ABOVE the adjacent homeowners lots. Headlights from vehicles
driving in a westerly direction on the street in Plat 1 at night will be aimed directly at
the rear of the houses in the adjoining Geneva Court neighborhood. We are also
concerned if vehicles on the new road lose control at the bottom of their hill, they
will breach our wooden 5 foot current fences and end up in our backyard. Lastly, we
are concerned with noise and visual impacts that minimize our enjoyment of our
properties.
We feel the Impact could be minimized by installation of a safe, sturdy, tall
retaining/barrier wall across the back of all 4 current horses (along the entire
western section of Plat 1). Currently there is only a 5 foot wooden fence on a slope.
We suggest a retaining wall which is at least 6 foot tall and concrete. The concrete
wall would be to the east of our current wooden fence. To the east of the new
concrete barrier wall, we ask that Evergreen trees (such as fast growing Leland
Cypress trees) be planted as they will also help with noise and visual impacts.
3. ACCESS
The issue of access to the Wilson Plats from and to S. 55th
Street was identified and
addressed in the Plat 1 process. Concern remains that this access point will become
problematic, due to the serpentine nature of the road, the narrow width of the
existing S.
55th
Street and the significant slope of the roadway on S. S50'. Concerns
exist over how school buses will safely (for students and other drivers) serve these
new homes as well as delivery trucks, garbage trucks, etc. While sidewalks are being
required for the new plats, there are currently NO sidewalks on S.
55th
Street. So the
Wilson Plat sidewalks do not lead to "anywhere". Due to the narrow existing
shoulder and narrow road width, pedestrian foot traffic on S. 55th (outside of and
serving the Wilson Plat) is either not possible or done at a risk that is beyond
acceptable — especially to children.
4. MISC
During the Wilson Plat 1 process, the establishment of a homeowners association
HOA) was identified as a requirement. It is recommended that with Wilson 1 and 2
being developed concurrently that only one homeowners association be established
serving both Wilson 1 and 2 (as opposed to two separate associations).
During the Wilson Plat 1 process, concerns from adjacent homeowners as well as
from the Hearing Examiner were made about impacts (visual and safety issues) along
the adjoining boundary with the existing Geneva Court subdivision (located to the
west of the site). These concerns remain and it is requested that part of the
concurrent Wilson 1 & 2 development address these (safety & visual). A safe and
adequate separating retaining wall (prefer a minimal height of 6 feet and concrete)
along the entire western section of Plat 1 is requested. Currently there is only a 5
foot wooden fence on a slope. The maintenance of this retaining wall shall be the
responsibility of the Wilson HOA.
Candidly, it has been difficult to determine what has been approved for the final
Wilson Plat 1. Our understanding is that no final plat site map exists indicating final
outcomes of the Hearing Examiner (4/1/10), the appealed changes, or the Council's
actions (8/16/10). Absent drawings that reflect the written changes, if it difficult to
make informed comments on development impacts.

Street and the significant slope of the roadway on S. 55th. Concerns
exist over how school buses will safely (for students and other drivers) serve these
new homes as well as delivery trucks, garbage trucks, etc. While sidewalks are being
required for the new plats, there are currently NO sidewalks on S. 55th
Street. So the
Wilson Plat sidewalks do not lead to "anywhere". Due to the narrow existing
shoulder and narrow road width, pedestrian foot traffic on 5.55th (outside of and
serving the Wilson Plat) is either not possible or done at a risk that is beyond
acceptable — especially to children.
4. MISC
During the Wilson Plat 1 process, the establishment of a homeowners association
HOA) was identified as a requirement. It is recommended that with Wilson 1 and 2
being developed concurrently that only one homeowners association be established
serving both Wilson 1 and 2 (as opposed to two separate associations).
During the Wilson Plat 1 process, concerns from adjacent homeowners as well as
from the Hearing Examiner were made about impacts (visual and safety issues) along
the adjoining boundary with the existing Geneva Court subdivision (located to the
west of the site). These concerns remain and it is requested that part of the
concurrent Wilson 1 & 2 development address these (safety & visual). A safe and
adequate separating retaining wall (prefer a minimal height of 6 feet and concrete)
along the entire western section of Plat 1 is requested. Currently there is only a 5
foot wooden fence on a slope. The maintenance of this retaining wall shall be the
responsibility of the Wilson HOA.
Candidly, it has been difficult to determine what has been approved for the final
Wilson Plat 1. Our understanding is that no final plat site map exists indicating final
outcomes of the Hearing Examiner (4/1/10), the appealed changes, or the Council's
actions (8/16/10). Absent drawings that reflect the written changes, if it difficult to
make informed comments on development impacts.

Notes:
Please refer to PREII-004 for specific development standards for the IR -1 and
R-14 zones. That report also references residential open space and design
standards.
The submitted materials for the current pre -application proposal do not
address Planned Urban Development Purposes, Planned Urban Development
Standards, or Planned Urban Development Decision Criteria. These standards
and criteria are discussed below.
Planned Urban Development
There are two principal purposes of the planned urban development regulations. First, is
to preserve and protect natural features of the land. Second, is to encourage innovation
and creativity in the development of residential, business, manufacturing, or mixed use
developments by permitting a variety in the type, design, and arrangement of structures
and improvements.
Planned Urban Development Standards
RMC 4-9-150 states that in approving a planned urban development, the City may
modify any of the standards of chapters 4-2, 4-4, and 4-7 and RMC 4-.5-050, except aslistedinsubsectionB3ofthisSection. Ali modifications to tot size, width, depth,
building standards and setbacks will be considered simultaneously as part of the
planned urban development.

adjacent or abutting lower density/intensity zones. Materials shall reduce
the potential for light and glare.
b. Interior design: Promotes a coordinated site and building design. Buildings
in groups should be related by coordinated materials and roof styles, but
contrast should be provided throughout a site by the use of varied
materials, architectural detailing, building, orientation or housing type; e.g.,
single family, detached, attached, townhouses, etc.
2. Circulation:
a. Provides sufficient streets and pedestrian facilities. The planned urban
development shall have sufficient pedestrian and vehicle access
commensurate with the location, size and density of the proposed
development. All public and private streets shall accommodate emergency
vehicle access and the traffic demand created by the development as
documented in a traffic and circulation report approved by the City. Vehicle

G. Building Orientation: Provides buildings oriented to enhance views from within
the site by taking advantage of topography, building location and style.
7. Parking Area Design:
a. Design: Provides parking areas that are complemented by landscaping
and not designed in long rows. The size of parking areas is minimized in
comparison to typical designs, and each area related to the group of
buildings served. The design provides for efficient use of parking, and
shared parking facilities where appropriate.

parking spaces, open space, recreation spaces, landscaping and utilities
necessary for creating and sustaining a desirable and stable environment,
so that each phase, together with previous phases, can stand alone.
Access. Access is proposed from South 55a' Street via a future access road (Morris

Environmental Review
The proposed project would be subject to Washington State Environmental Policy Act
SOPA). Please refer to PRE11-004 for information regarding environmental review.
Permit Requirements
The project would require Preliminary Approval of a Planned Urban Development,
Preliminary Plat review or a Short Plat review, and Environmental (SEPA) review. A
preliminary planned urban development maybe considered simultaneously with any
other land use permit required for a proposal, including preliminary plats,
environmental review, or other applications. Where merged, the review criteria for all
of the applications shall be considered simultaneously with the planned urban
development criteria.
With Concurrent review of these applications, the process would take an estimated time
frame of 12 weeks. After the required notification period, the Environmental Review
Committee would issue a Threshold Determination for the project. When the required
two-week appeal period is completed, the project would go before the Hearing
Examiner for a decision on the Preliminary Planned Urban Development and the Short
Plat or Preliminary Plat, The Nearing Examiner's decision would be subject to two --week
appeal periods.

Wilson Park #2
Project Narrative
This discussion outlines the application for the Wilson Park PUD and Preliminary Plat on
South 55`h Street, Renton WA. The proposal is to subdivide a 2.15 acre parcel into 10 lots
and one tract by applying for a PUD and Preliminary Plat.
The current zoning of the site is mixed, R-14 and R-1. The property to the west is zoned
R-14, to the east the zoning is R-8, to the north the zoning is R-14, R-1 and R-8, to the
south the zoning is R-4. The site is presently vacant.
The existing lot is 93,801 square feet in size. 9,783 square foot of the site is a steep slope
exceeding 40%. 38,326.23 square feet is zoned R-1 which includes the steep slope area.
55,474.76 square feet is zoned R-14.
The soil type is Vashon Till (Glacial Till). Drainage will be provided per the drainage
report attached. Temporary erosion control will be provided per city of Renton Standards.
A PUD and Preliminary Plat are being requested in order to subdivide the parcel into 10
single family lots and one tract to be used as open space, steep slope protection and
passive recreation. The lots will range from 5,559 Square feet to 6,778 square feet. The
R-1 zoning requires that 50% of the area of the urban separator (R-1) be dedicated as
open space. The R-1 zone is 38,326.23 square feet and the open space will be 19,164
Square feet. Density averaging for the site is being used for the proposal. Density
averaging is being addressed by a pending administrative interpretation. The combined
density proposed for the site is 6.4 Dwelling units per acre, 9 units for the R-14 zone and
1 unit for the R-1 zone.
The tree retention plan requires that 10 trees be saved which will be within the open
space tract and along the rear of the lots abutting the open space tract. Native trees and
ground cover such as sword ferns will be planted within the open space tract where the
blackberries and ivy are removed. Two trees per lot will be planted as shown on the
landscape plan.
Additional public benefit will be provided as part of the proposed FUD over and above
that required by a regular subdivision. A three foot wide soft trail of wood chips will be
provided from the north edge of the plat to South 55`h ST thru the open space tract.
Passive recreational facilities will be provided in the form of a gazebo and benches
located within the open space tract as shown of the landscape drawing. Additional
landscaping will be provided within the open space tract as described above.
Through the PUD process we are asking that the lot size be modified for the lots in the R-
1 zone and the lots in the R-14 zone be larger that required. We believe that lots of the
proposed size will provide a very good transition from the R-14 zone to the R-8 zone to
the east of the site while protecting the steep slopes and the urban separator. The parcel
qualifies for a hillside subdivision which allows for larger lots to compensate for the
slope conditions. The setbacks proposed are the same as the R-14 zone requirements. The
PUD process will also allow density averaging for the site which will provide a more
sensible subdivision than the strict interpretation of the code which would require 10 lots
in the R-14 zone of about 30 foot wide and one lot in the R-1 zone.
Access will be provided off a new street being constructed as part of Wilson Park #1 to
the north connecting to South 55`
h
ST. The site contains $2 trees. 21 trees will be
removed for construction of the new street serving Wilson Park #1. The City of Renton
tree standards require that 30% of the trees within the R -I zone be retained and 10% of
the trees within the R-14 zone be retained. In total 10 trees are required to be retained. In
addition to the required trees to be retained, two trees per lot will be planted and
additional trees will be planted within the open space tract in areas where the blackberries
and ivy are removed. (See Landscape Plan)
The cuts and fill for the roadway will be done as part of the approved Wilson Park #1
subdivision to the north. On site grading will occur to accommodate reasonable building
pads on the west side of the new street. A balance of cuts and fill will occur between the
Wilson Park #1 and Wilson Park #2. Cut material from the roadway in Wilson Park #1
will be used for the fill needed in Wilson Park #2 for roadway construction and to
provide reasonable building pads on the west side of the new street. A small amount of
imported fill may be needed for final grading. The source of that material has not been
determined.
We appreciate the city's review and approval of this application for a PUD and
Preliminary Plat. If you have any questions please contact Jim Hanson at 360-422-5056
or e-mail, ichanson;u N avecablc.coiii.
Wilson Park#2 PUD project Compliance and Superiority
1. Demonstration of Compliance and Superiority:
The parcel proposed to be subdivided is just over 2 acres about'/2 of which is
zoned R-14 the balance is zoned R-1. A portion of the R-1 area contains steep
slopes over 40%. The plat will qualify as a Hillside Subdivision. The proposal
will allow a superior project to be developed. The boundary between the R-14
and R-1 portion is not a straight Iine. The property is bisected by a new city
street providing access to the property to the north. A portion of the R-14
zoning lies on the east side of the street along with the R-1 zoning. The
remaining R-14 portion is on the west side of the street. To develop the site
with some very small R-14 lots on the east side of the street and one large R-1
lot will create an undesirable lot layout. The proposed lot layout will provide
reasonable sized lots on each side of the street and a large open space tract
which will provide protection for the steep slopes along with passive
recreational opportunities. The proposed lot layout will comply with Objective
LU -FF, 2 of the Comprehensive plan promoting efficient land utilization.
The PUD process will allow the density for the whole site to be averaged per
the pending Administrative Determination providing the ability to provide
reasonable sized single family lots on each side of the new street. The density
proposed is 6.4 DU/Acre. The density allowed is 14 units for the R-14 portion
and 1 unit for the R-1 portion. The proposed density falls within the density
called for in Policy LU -165 of the Comprehensive Plan for R-14 zoned areas.
Policy LU -12 allows for minimum density to be reduced due to lot
configuration or physical constraint. The proposed plat will provide a better
subdivision than one containing between 11 and 15 lots.
The required open space will be enhanced by provided a soft trail, benches, a
gazebo, and enhanced landscaping for passive recreational use by the
residents. Such amenities and enhancement would not be required by a regular
subdivision.
Public Benefit:
a. Critical areas will be protected by a larger open space area then required.
b. Natural Features will be enhanced by providing a three foot wide soft trail
of wood chips from the north of the site to South 55`h ST. Enhanced
landscaping consisting of native plants such as sword ferns and native
trees in areas where black berries and ivy are removed within the open
space tract.
c. Passive recreational facilities consisting of a gazebo and benches will be
provided within the open space tract near the north end.
d. The overall Design is improved by providing reasonable sized lots on each
side of the street rather than some very small lots in strange shapes on the
east side of the street along with one large lot.
Additional Review Criteria:
a. Building design will meet the requirements of the city's design
standards.
b. Circulation: Sufficient streets will be provided. The new street constructed
as part of the subdivision to the north will provide access to all lots.
c. Infrastructure and Services: All utility services will be provided to all lots.
d. Clusters or Building groups and Open Space: By having one single family
residence per lot it will have an appearance of greater open space than
attached units. Side yards will be provided for each residence thus
decreasing the impervious surface.
c. Privacy and Building Separation: By having one house per lot privacy will
be improved. Additional light and air will be provided.
Building Orientation: One building per lot will allow variations in
elevation and location which may be needed because of the topography of
the lot.
g. Parking Area Design: Parking will be provided per the city's design
standards. One unit per lot will be preferred over the Row House look.
h. Phasing: No phasing is proposed for the plat.

CONSTRUCTION MITIGATION '
Proposed Construction Dates (begin and end dates): Start of construction is proposed for Spring -
Summer 2013 with the clearing of the existing vegetation, demolition of existing structures (Wilson Park),
and grading. All construction activities are anticipated to be completed by spring of 2014. This schedule is
subject to change dependent upon housing market demands. The site work will be constructed with the
improvements for Wilson Park (LUA09-140). These two projects will be constructed simultaneously.
Frontage improvements will be installed with minor disruption to South 55"' Street. These frontage
improvements will include: off- site drainage, paving, sewer and water connections, curb/gutter and
sidewalk, street lights and landscaping.
Hours and days of operation; 7:00 am to 3:30 pm, Monday through Friday
Proposed Hauling/ Transportation routes: Materials and labor to the site are proposed off of South
55'h Street. Vehicle parking and material storage are proposed to be onsite.
Measures to minimize construction activities: Construction activity on South 55"' Street is proposed to
be minimized by balancing the cut and FII of the two projects; Wilson Park is a proposed cut project with
Wilson Park #2 as a proposed fill project. The dirt balancing of these two projects will be critical to cost and
minimizing offsite construction activities. During the design phase of these two projects, cut and fill
quantities will be evaluated against building pads and lot views in an attempt to balance the two sites.
Additional material may be needed from offsite sources to finalize grading of lots and roads. At this point, a
minor amount of offsite material (gravel, backfill, and trench backfill) may be necessary. Construction traffic
and stockpiling of materials will occur onsite utilizing the two entries to the two projects (both off of South
55"' Street). Due to the moisture sensitivity of the existing soils, major construction is proposed to be done
during the dry (summer) months.
Special hours: No special hours are necessary to complete construction. Weekend work may be necessary
to be scheduled for completion; this will be determined by owner, contractor, and City of Renton.
Preliminary Traffic Control Plan: Utility connections and material hauling on South 55th Street will
require a traffic control during these limited activities. Coordination with the City of Renton Inspector will be
critical. Once a contractor is selected, a traffic control plan will be submitted and approved prior to the pre -
construction meeting with the City of Renton. This plan will be installed prior to any construction activities.

PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST:
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.210 RCW, requires all governmental:.
agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An''
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable
significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is
to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to
reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide
whether an EIS is required.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal.
Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of
your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly,
with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can.
You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In
most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project
plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question
does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers
to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark
designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental
agencies can assist you.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a
period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help
describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this
checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably
related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.
USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS:
Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered
does not apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT
ACTIONS (part D).
For nonproject actions (actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs), the

SUBJECT: Wetland Verification for Wilson Park 2 (Parcel 312305-9119)
City of Renton, WA (File # PRE11-004)
Dear Bob:
On March 1, 2011 1 conducted a wetland reconnaissance on the subject property
utilizing the methodology outlined in the 1997 Washington State Wetlands
Identification and Delineation Manual. The primary focus of the reconnaissance was
to verify the results of the wetland determination report prepared by Alder NW (dated
October 19, 2004).
The Alder NW report indicated a small (less than 800 s.f.) hydrologically isolated wet
area in the western portion of the site, immediately adjacent to the remnant
foundation of a large old loafing shed. Since the soils within this portion of the site
have been significantly disturbed, and the small marginal area appears to have been
created during historic site grading adjacent to the old shed, the Alder NW report
determined the feature to be unregulated.
Based on my wetland reconnaissance, I concur with the findings of the Alder NW
report that the area consists of a small (well under 2,200 s.f_) hydrologically isolated
Category 3 wetland. Small hydrologically isolated Category 3 wetlands are exempt
from the City's critical area regulations if they meet the following provisions of RMC
V-3-050.C.5.f:
1) Standing water is not present in sufficient amounts, i.e., approximately twelve
inches (12") to eighteen inches (18") in depth from approximately December
through May, to support breeding amphibians;
Bob Wilson
March 11, 2011
Page 2
At the time of the March 1, 2411 field investigation, soils within the wetland were
generally saturated near the surface and ponding was limited to depths of about 2
inches within scattered disturbed pockets. Since ponding is restricted to small very
shallow isolated pockets, this provision has been met.
2) Species listed by Federal or State government as endangered or threatened, or
the presence of essential habitat for those species, are not present,
The wetland does not contain any species listed by Federal or State government as
endangered or threatened, nor does it contain essential habitat for those species.
3) Some form of mitigation is provided for hydrologic and water quality functions, for
example, stor mwater treatment or landscaping or other mitigation; and
It is my understanding that as part of the proposed project, all runoff from impervious
surfaces on the site will be treated and retained prior to downstream discharge.
4) A wetland assessment is prepared by a qualified professional demonstrating the
criteria of the exemption are met The wetland assessment shall be subject to
independent secondary review at the expense of the applicant consistent with
subsection F7 of this Section.
I have conducted a secondary review of the Alder NW report and have verified that all of
the criteria of RMC IV-3-050.C.5.f have been met.
In addition to the wet area, the Alder NW report also describes a drainage course
that flows from east to west through the southern portion of the site. As identified in
the report, this drainage originates at the top of the slope from an outfall of a storm
drain line which collects surface water runoff from S. 192"a Street. Since this
artificially collected runoff is conveyed within a channel where no channel previously
existed, it also should not be subject to critical area regulation.
Conclusion
Pursuant to an on-site reconnaissance, the findings of the Alder NW report were
confirmed and no regulated wetlands or streams were identified on the property.

Subject: Site Evaluation
Singh -Property
South 192nd Street at 98th Avenue South
Renton, Washington
Parcel4 3123059119
Dear Mr. Singh.
As roqucstcd Ywo Dave- a site -evaluation for the prnper v located on the north side of South 192nd Street at 98th Avcaue
South in the City of Renton- It is identified as King County Parcel 43123059119. The location of the property is shown
on the Vicinity Map (Figure i). The purpose of this work was to conduct a site evaluation to detenuine if wetlatcis or
other sw&ce water features are pwseut on the property,
In conducting =site evaluation to identify possible wetland areas we. followed the general procedures for the Tout= on-
ske-methodoloV as outlined in the March 1997 Washington State Wetlands Idenlift ation and Delineation fid,
prepared by the Washington State Department of Ecology. This procedure i avolves analysis of vegetation pattcros, soii
conditions, and near -surface hydrology in rnaldng a determination of wetland conditions. This methodology is similar to
the procedures outlined in the Corps ofEngineen Wetland Delineation A&nual Technical Report Y-8 7-J (1987).
Our scope of work included a site visit an September 23, 2004, at shun time we completed our site evaluation. The
apprwdi a location of the wetland is iffustraW on the SitE Map (Figure 2).
PROCEDURES
For the purpose of this study, we used the wedand definition adopted by the EavirounenW Protection Agency (EPA) and
the Army Corps of Engine= (COP) for administering Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. According to this definition,
wetlauds are.
Those areas Haat are inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and
duration gufftcient to support, and that under normal diew Zstances do support, a prevalence of
vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wodands U=crally include
scamps, marshm bogs, and sitifaar areas. (33 CFR 323).
In Washington State, the Slrareline Management Act and Growth Mama =ont Aix have amended this definition W
exclude some Mand situations by adding the following sentences to the wetland definition:

Wetlands do not include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non -wet -land sites,
including but not limited to, imphon and drainage ditches, grass -lined swales, canals, detention
facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, farm ponds, and landscape amenities, or those wetlands
created after July 1, 1990, that were intentionally. crud as a result of the constructions of a road,
street or Highway. Wetlands may include those artificial wetlands intwtionaliy created_ from non-
wcdand areas to mitigate the conversion of wetlands.
In accordance with this definition, a given area is designated as jurisdictional wetland if the hydrology results in inundated
or sahmW sails during -tlte growing season, hydric sails are prescat, and the dominant vegcUb an is hydtophy0c.
Delineation procedures are based on diagnostic eaviromnertal indicators of wetland vegetation, weduid soils, and
wetland hydrology. By defmitior6 an area is designated as wetland vdica there are positive indicators for all. three
parameters.
A listing of plant species has been developed for use in the methodology for delineating wetland areas. 'Phis listing
assigns plana species to one of five indicator status catcgorios ranging from Obligate wetland species, which almost
ahvays occur in wetlands, to Upland species, which rarely oc m in wetlands. Under normal conditions, hydrophytic
vegetation is determined to be present if more than 50 perama of the dominant spocics arc in the Obligati (OBI..),
Facuitarive Wedwd - FACW), or Facattative (FAC) indicator categories_
Diagnostic indicators of hydric souls are related to soil saturation, which leads to anaerobic conditions in the soil. Under
these conditions, decomposition of organic material is inhibited and soil minerals are reduced, creating charaaa6stic soil
colons that can be quantified by compaxisoD with Munsell Soil Color Charts. A ebrama of oar, or less in unmottled soils
or a chroma oftwo or less in mottled soils generally indicates a hydric soil. Ia addition, soils that are saturated during the
growing season satisfy a criterion for hydric souls. We used a hand auger to collect soil samples from a depth of 9 to 15
inches.
Wetland hydrology is defined as mated or saturated sod conditions for at least 14 consecutive days during thegrowing
season_ If no water is present at the time of evaluation, other indicators rwy include tapogra*c- low points or channels,
flood debris, complete absence of vegetation, orpresencc of hydric soils.
Standardized data forms are available to record observations on each parameter. For this project, we completed dam
forms for the RotW a tan -Site Determination Method at 3 locations on the site. Copies of these data farms are included
with this rgNxt.
SITE CONDMONS
The subject property is an irregiAwly $heed property with an area of approximately 2.15 acres. Al preserrt the site is
undeveloped and is occupied by a mod forest stand. The property to the north is v=mtly undeveloped orad is similarly
occupied by mixed forest stand Adjacent properties to the east? west and off the northwest comer of the property are
occupied by existing single family homes.
Topographically, the proMty generally sloes steeply down from the cast property lime at about elev. 298 to a slightly
sloping bench which slopes down from about elev_ 240 to about elev. 220.at the west property line This somewhat flatter
area occupies approximately the western third of the site.
Vegetation on the more steeply sloping eastern two thirds of the property is characttmzed as mixed mx= mixed forest.
Predai ituant trees present are Douglas fir (Fseudotsuga mwndesli), and big leaf maple (Acer macrcpV11um), with
scattered black cottcrmwd (Populus balsamifera)'and red alder (Amus rubra) trees present closer to the toe of the steep
slope. The predominant understory shrub species is Oso plum (OemlMa cemsifonwsl with sword feria (PoWchum
munftm) as the pvedomigant kerbaceous species. Himalayan. blackberry (Rubia discolor) its present at the margins of the
forested area where there had been some clearing.

There has apparently been some grading and clearing on. the Cower bench area. Vegetation here is dominated, by
Himalayan blackberry grcmth. Thcrc are scattered tall black oottonwood big leaf maple and Douglas fu with dense small
red alder and black cotton -wood along the toe of the slope where,there appears to have been more recent clearing.
We identified a sfnall isolaaed area where, there appears to have been shallow surface water earlier in the year. Vegetation
on tbis small isolated area includes creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repew), a small patch of slough sedge'(Ccu=
obnupta), willows (Salix spp.). Conditions wither this small area are described on Data Fonn 3. This small depression
has a width of less than 15 feet and length of approximately 54 fl. As such it has a total area of less than 804sgA It is
unregulated under City ofReaton. regulatiow.
We also examined the drainage coarse running across the south side ofthe property, This drainage originates at the tap of
the stcW slope as the outfall from a storm drain line which collects sudkoe water runoff frorn South 192nd Strout.
Directly below the storm draim outfall at the top ofthe slope there is a deeply eroded, steep sided channel. At the upper
end the eroded cbxmel is 3f1 to Oft iu.depth. Further clown tine slope the channel depth decreases and the c h=el becomes
less well defined. vegetation over fhe channel is dominated by Himalayan blAckbeny.
There is a catch basin at the base of the slope within tie South 192nd Stra road shoulder. This catch basin oollects
surface water from the road side ditch along the north side of South 192nd Street as weU as mnfacc water reaclvx3g the
bottom of the slope in the drainage channel. .
There is no evidence of a naturally aceuning topographic suightale _which mhave carried a nalamRy accurring seasonal
s#re rz either up slope T'ro the Property or a;h a tie diazhage brosses the subject property. It is our interpretation that
this drainage is an artificially genu drainage channel resulting from aonstrucUou of South 192nd street and the
discharge of roadway storm_ runoff onto the top of the slope. As as artificially generated drainage channel it should not
be subject to regalaticm.,
We #rust the infonxetion presented is sufficient for your current needs. if you have any questions or require additional
information, please call.
Sincerely yours,

INTRODUCTION
We have completed a geotechnical engineering study for the site of a proposed 4 -lot short plat,
located at the above address in Renton, Washington. The general location of the site is shown on
Plate I — Vicinity Map. We understand that the proposed development for the site is to plat its
western portion into four single-family residential building lots, on each of which a single-family
residence will be constructed. The purpose of this study is to characterize the subsurface
conditions of the site and provide geotechnical recommendations for grading, surface and ground
water control, erosion abatement, site stabilization, and foundation design and construction for
the proposed development. Presented in this report are our findings of the site conditions and
geotechnical recommendations for the proposed development.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
For our use in this study, you provided us with a topographic survey plan of the site, prepared by

subject site is an irregularly-shaped tract of land, partially fronted by the right-of-way of the
winding South 192°6
Street to the south. The site is currently undeveloped and heavily wooded.
We understand that the proposed development for the site is to platted its gently to moderately
sloped western 95 feet into four single-family residential building lots. Site grading may require
cut and fill to some degree for the northern two lots.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our scope of services for this study comprises specifically the following;
1 Review the geologic and soil conditions at the site based on a published geologic map.
2. Explore the subsurface conditions of the site with backhoe test pits.
3. Perform necessary geotechnical analyses and provide geotechnical recommendations for
site grading, site stability enhancement, erosion abatement, surface and ground water
control, and foundation design and construction, based on subsurface conditions
encountered in the test pits and results of our geotechnical analyses.
4. Prepare a written report to present our findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE CONDITIONS
The subject site is partially bounded by South 192n6
Street to the south, and is adjoined by single-
family residences to north and west and by a wooded land to the east. The site is currently vacant
and undeveloped. It is situated on a moderate to steep, westerly -declining hillside. The terrain
within the site mostly slopes moderately to steeply down to the west, except that the ground
within the western 95 feet of the site, which is to be developed into four building lots, is mostly
gently to moderately sloped down to the west at grades from less than 5 percent to 32 percent.

The middle of the proposed 4 -lot plat area has been cleared previously, with a remnant concrete
driveway off South 192nd
Street to about the mid -depth of the proposed 44ot plat area. The
unpaved area is now overgrown with brush and bevy bushes. Matured deciduous trees scatter
throughout the interior (northern two lots) and the perimeter of the southern two lots of the
proposed 4 -lot plat area, with occasional mature evergreen trees mixed in between,
GEOLOGIC SETTING
TheGeolo is a of Renton uadran IE Kin Cour WwWagion, by D. R. Mullineaux,
published by U. S. Geological Survey in 1965, was referenced for the geologic and soil
conditions at the site. According to this publication, the surficial soil units at and in the vicinity
of the subject site are mapped as Karne Terrace (Qit) underlain by Ground Moraine (Qgt).
The geology of the Puget Sound Lowland has been modified by the advance and retreat of
several glaciers in the past and subsequent deposits and erosion. The latest glacier advanced to
the Puget Sound Lowland is referred to as the Vachon Stade of the Fraser Glaciation, which has
occurred during the later stages of the Pleistocene Epoch and retreated from the region some
14,500 years ago.
The kame terrace deposits were Iaid down by ice -marginal streams flowing between higher
ground on one side and an ice margin on the other side during the last glaciation. They consist
mostly of silty sand and gravel to cobble. Locally, they also contain lenses and pods of till and
beds of sand, silt and clay. The kame terrace deposits were, however, not encountered by the test
pits. Instead ground moraine deposits were found underlying the site_
The ground moraine deposits are mostly thin ablation till over lodgmont till, deposited by Puget
glacial lobe of the Vashon Stade of the Fraser Glaciation_ The lodgmont till is generally a

compact mixture of unsorted clay, silt, sand, gravel and cobble, commonly referred to as "hard
pan". The ablation till is similar to lodgmont till, but is much less compact and coherent. The
thickness generally varies from 2 to 4 feet for ablation till, and 5 to 30 feet for lodgmont till_ The
lodgmont till is practically impervious, except local lenses of sand and gravel. It has the strength
of a low-grade concrete and can stand in a steep natural or cut slope for a long period. The
lodgmont till can provide excellent foundation support with little settlement expected. The
overlying ablation till is generally in a looser state, and is more compressible and permeable.
SOIL CONDITIONS
Subsurface conditions of the subject site were explored on November 14, 2004, with six test pits.
The test Pits were excavated with a tire -mounted backhoe to depths from 5.0 to 8.0 feet. The
approximate locations of the test pits are shown on Plate 2 - Site and Exploration Location Plan.
The test pits wsem located with either a tape measure or by visual reference to existing
topographic features in the Feld and on the topographic survey map, and their locations should be
considered only accurate to the measuring method used.
A geotechnical engineer from our office was present during subsurface exploration, who
examined the soil and geologic conditions encountered and completed logs of test pits. Soil
samples obtained from each soil unit in the test pits were visually classified in general
accordance with United Soil CIassifcation System, a copy of which is presented on Plate 3.
Detailed descriptions of soil units encountered during site exploration are presented in the test pit
logs on Plates 4 through 6.
The test pits revealed that the site is mantled by a layer of loose, organic topsoil, from 1.0 to 2.5
feet thick. The topsoil is generally underlain by a layer of brown ablation till soils of loose to
medium -dense, silty fine sand, with a trace of gravel and occasional cobble and boulder, about

lot plat. Underlying the ablation till to the depths explored is a lodgrnont till deposit of light -
brown to light -gray, deme to very -dense, weakly -cement, silty fine sand with a trace of gravel,
except in Test Pit 2 where the ablation till was found underlain by weakly -cemented, fine -to -
medium -grain sandstone bedrock. Fragments of this sandstone bedrock was also found mixed in
the lodgrnont till deposit in Test Pit 3.
ROUNDWATER CUNDITIOn
Crronndwater seepage was not encountered in any of the test pits. The lodgmont till deposit and
to a lesser extent the sandstone bedrock underlying the site at shallow depth is practically
impervious and would perch stormwater infiltrating into the more permeable surficial topsoil and
ablation till soils. This near -surface perched groundwater may dry up completely in summer
months and may accumulate and rise during the wet winter months. The depth to and the amount
of perched groundwater may fluctuate seasonally, depending on precipitation, surface runoff',
ground vegetation cover, site utilization, and other factors.
DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONSENDATIONS
GENERAL
Based an the soil conditions encountered in our subsurface explorations, it is our opinion that the
site is suitable for the proposed development from the geotechnical engineering viewpoint,
provided that the recommendations in this report are fully implemented and observed during
construction. The loose topsoil and unsuitable weak soils in the root zone should be completely
stripped within the driveways, the building footprints and where the subgrade soils are to support
structural or traffic load. The dense to very -dense lodgmont till at shallow depth are of high

shear strength and can provide excellent foundation support to driveways and buildings with little
settlement.
Conventional footing foundations placed on or into the underlying dense to very -dense iodgmont
till soils may be used for supporting the houses to be constructed on the platted lots. Structural
fill, if required for site grading, should be constructed over the underlying dense to very -dense
lodgrnont till soils following the stripping ofsurficial unsuitable soils.
The on-site topsoil and ablation till soils contain a high percentage of fines, and is sensitive to
moisture. It can also be saturated quickly and result in heavy runoff with potential soil erosion
over the steeper portion of the site during extended periods of heavy rainstorms. One or multiplei _
tines of curtain drains should be installed along the upslope side of the construction areas, as
required, to intercept and drain surface runoff and near -surface perched groundwater to minimize
soil erosion and facilitate site grading during construction.
Permanent fill to be placed over slopes steeper than 15 percent grade should be retained
structurally. Structural fill, if required for site grading, should be placed on compacted and
Proof -rolled, unyielding, undisturbed, firm, native soils, following the stripping of the surficial
unsuitable soils. The exposed ground exceeding 15 percent grade should be benched with
vertical steps not exceeding 5 feet tall prior to placing structural fill. Storm runoff over
impervious surfaces, such as roofs and paved driveway, should be collected and discharged into a
storm sewer. Concentrated stormwater should not be discharged onto the ground anywhere
within the site.

GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
Landslide Hazards
The subject site is underlain at shallow depth by dense to very -dense, weakly -cemented,
lodgmont till soils of high shear strength and to a lesser extent by weakly -cemented sandstone. It
is, therefore, unlikely for deep-seated landslides to occur on the site. The surficial topsoil and
ablation till soils are loose to medium -dense. There is a remote chance that shallow, skin -type
mudflows may occur in these surficial weak soils on steep slopes if they are overly saturated. To
mitigate such potential, the vegetation cover over the site beyond construction limits should be
maintained, concentrated stormwater should not be discharged onto the ground within the site or
its adjoining properties, and spoil soils and yardwaste should not be disposed of onto the slopes
within the site.
Erosion Hazard
The surficial topsoil and ablation till soils over the steeper portion of the site can be easily eroded
when stripped of vegetation cover on steep slopes, while the underlying weakly -cemented
Iodgmont till soils are of moderately high resistance against erosion. To abate the erosion
potential in the surficial weals soils, the vegetation cover outside of construction limits should not
be disturbed. Concentrated storm water should not be discharged onto the ground within the site.
Spoil soils and yardwas€e should not be disposed of within the site. Storm runoff over
impervious surfaces, such as roofs and pavement, should be captured with underground drain line
systems tied to roof downspouts and by catch basins installed in pavement, and tightlined to
discharge into a storm sewer or a suitable stormwater disposal facility. Unpaved, disturbed
ground within the site should be re -vegetated to provide erosion protection. Once the drainage
control measures for the roadways and houses are in place after the completion of the proposed
development, the amount of surface runoff and near -surface groundwater flow will be reduced
which would further mitigate soil erosion and enhance site stability.

L&A Job No. 4A134
Page 8
Seismic Hazard
The site is underlain at shallow depth by dense to very -dense lodgmont till soils of very high
shear strength. These competent soils and the general lack of static groundwater table at shallow
depth under the site should make it rather unlikely for such seismic hazard as liquefaction or soil
Iateral spreading to occur on the site. The proposed houses, however, should be designed for
seismic forces induced by strong earthquakes. Based on the soil conditions encountered by the
test pits, the site should be classified as Seismic Use Group I in the design of the proposed
warehouse in accordance with the 2003 International Building Code (IBC}.
SITE PREPARATION AND GENERAL GRADING
Site preparation for the construction of the residences should include clearing and grubbing
within construction limits. Loose topsoil and weak soils in the root zone should be completely
stripped within the driveways, the building footprints of the proposed houses and in areas subject
to traffic and structural loads. The exposed soils should be compacted to a non -yielding state
with a vibratory compactor and proof -rolled with a piece of heavy earthwork equipment operated
on the site.
The on-site soils contain a high percentage of fines and are sensitive to moisture. A layer of
clean quarry spalls should be placed over excavated areas and areas of frequent traffic, as
required, to protect the subgrade soils from disturbance by construction traffic. Silt fences
should be erected along the downslope boundaries of the site to prevent sediments being
transported by storm runoff onto adjoining properties or the street. The bottom edge of the silt
fence should be embedded in a trench and ballasted with crushed rock or gravel.

EXCAVATION AND FTLL SLOPES
Under no circumstance should excavation slopes be steeper than the limits specified by local,
state and federal safety regulations if workers have to perform construction work in excavated
areas. Unsupported temporary cuts greater than 4 feet in height should be no steeper than 1H:1 V
in the surficial topsoil and ablation till soils of loose to medium -dense silty fine sand, and may be
vertical in the light -brown to light -gray lodgmont till soils of dense to very -dense, weakly
cemented, silty fine sand with a trace of gravel, or in sandstone bedrock, provided that the overall
depth of cut does not. exceed 10 feet. Permanent cut banks should be no steeper than 2H: l V in
the surficial topsoil and ablation till soils, no steeper than 1-I/2H:I V in the underlying lodgmont
till soils, and no steeper than IH:1 V in the sandstone bedrock if encountered. The soil units and
the stability of cut slopes should be observed and verified by a geotechnical engineer during
excavation.
Pent fill embankments required to supportstructural or traffic loads should be constructed
with compacted structural fill placed over proof -rolled, undisturbed, firm native, lodgrnont till
soils after the unsuitable surficial soils are stripped. Permanent fill to be placed on slopes steeper
than 15 percent grade should be retained structurally. Sloping ground exceeding 15 percent
grade over which fill is to be placed should be benched with vertical steps no more than 5 feet
high after stripping of unsuitable surficial soils. The slope of permanent fill embankments
should be no steeper than 2H:1 V. Upon completion, the sloping face of permanent fill
embankments should be thoroughly compacted to a non -yielding state with a hoe -pack.
The above recommended cut and fill slopes are under the assumption that groundwater seepage
will not be encountered during construction. If encountered, the construction work should be
immediately halted and the slope stability re-evaluated. The slopes may have to be flattened and
other measures taken to stabilize the slopes. Storm nmofi should not be allowed to flow

uncontrolled over the top of cut or fill slopes. One or multiple lincs of interceptor trench drains
should be installed, as zequired, on the uphill side of the areas to be graded to intercept and safely
drain away surface nmoff and near -surface groundwater flow. Permanent cut slopes or fill
embankments should be seeded and vegetated as soon as possible for erosion protection and
long-term stability, and should be covered with clear plastic sheets, as required, to protect them
from erosion by stormwater until the vegetation is fully established.
STRUCTURAL FILL
J Structural fill is the fill that supports structural or traffic load. Structural fill should consist of
clean soils free of organic and other deleterious substances and with particles not larger than four
inches. Structural fill should have a moisture content within one percent of its optimum moisture
content at the time of placement. The optimum moisture content is the water content in the soils
that enable the soils to be compacted to the highest dry density for a given compaction effort.
The on-site till soils contain a high percentage of fines, and may be used as structural fill only
under fair weather condition when its moisture content can be controlled to close to its optimum
moisture content. imported material for structural fill should be clean, fine -draining, granular
soils containing no more than 5% by weight finer than the No. 200 sieve based on the fraction of
the material passing No. 4 sieve, and should have individual particles not larger than four inches.
Imported structural fill should be stockpiled and covered separately from the on-site soils.
Structural fill should be placed in lifts no more than 10 inches thick in loose state, with each lift
compacted to a minimum percentage of the maximum dry density determined by ASTM D1557
Modified Proctor Method) as follows:

A one-third increase in the above recommended allowable soil bearing pressure may be used
when considering short-term, transitory, wind or seismic loads. For footing foundations designed
and constructed per recommendations above, we estimate that the maximum total post -
construction settlement of the buildings should be 112 inch or less and the differential settlement
across building width should be 3/8 inch or less.
Lateral loads on buildings can be resisted by the friction force between the foundations and the
subgrade soils or the passive earth pressure acting on the below -grade portion of the foundations.
For the latter, the foundations must be poured "neat" against undisturbed soils or backfilled with
a clean, free -draining, compacted structural fill. We recommend that an equivalent fluid density
EFD) of 350 pcf (pounds per cubic foot) for the passive earth pressure be used for lateral
w
resistance. The above passive pressure assumes that the backfill is levet or inclines upward away
from the foundations for a horizontal distance at least twice the depth of the foundations below
the final grade. A coefficient of friction of 0.60 between the foundations and the subgrade soils
may be used. The above soil parameters are unfactored values, and a proper factor of safety
should be used in calculating the resisting forces against lateral loads on the buildings_
BASEMENT AND RETAINING WALLS
Basement walls restrained horizontally at the top are considered unyielding and should be
designed for a lateral soil pressure under the at -rest condition; while retaining walls free to move
at the top should be designed for active lateral soil pressure. We recommend that a lateral soil
pressure of 45 and 65 pcf EFD be used for the design of foundation walls with level/descending
backslope and rising backslope, respectively; and 35 and 54 pcf EFD for retaining walls with
level/descending backslope and rising backslope, respectively. To counter the active soil or at -
rest pressure, a passive lateral soil pressure of 400 pcf EFD may be used, except that the passive
pressure within the top 12 inches of the finish subgrade should be ignored. The above passive

press= assumes that the backfill is level or inclines upward away from the wails. The above
lateral soil pressures arc under the assumption that groundwater behind the walls is fully drained.
To resist against sliding, the friction force between the footings and the subgrade soils may be
calculated based on a coefficient of friction of 0.60. The above soil parameters are ultimate
values, and proper factors of safety should be used in the design of the basement and retaining
walls against sliding and overturning failures. Basement walls or retaining walls may be
supported on footing foundations seated on or into the underlying very -dense fresh till or very -
hard transitional beds soils, with an allowable soil bearing pressure not to exceed 3,000 psf.
The is a remote possibility that shallow, skin -type mudflow may occur on the slope above the
proposed houses. We recommend that the uphill -side basement walls of the house be extended
at least 3 feet above the finish grade to act as debris catchment walls.
A vertical drainage blanket consisting of at least 12 -inch -thick free -draining pea gravel or washed
gravel should be placed against foundation and retaining walls to prevent accumulation of
groundwater behind and buildup of hydrostatic pressure against the walls. The remaining
backfill should consist of structural fill constructed per recommendations in the STRUCTURAL
FILL section of this report. The top 12 inches of backfill should consist of compacted, clean, on-
site soils. The backfill material for the foundation and retaining walls should be compacted with
a hand -operated compactor. Heavy compaction equipment should not be allowed closer to the
walls than a horizontal. distance equal to the wall heights. A footing drain, as recommended in
the SITE DRAINAGE section of this report, should also be provided for foundation and retaining
walls.

ADDENDUM TO "TECHNICAL INFORMATION REPORT"
Prepared for Wilson Park (LUA09-140)
By
Baima & Holmberg, Inc. dated May 5, 2009
Prepared By:
Darrell Qffe, P.E.
OVERVIEW
The proposed Wilson Park #2 is a 10 lot single family residential subdivision situated on
1 existing lot with a total area of 2.15 acres. It is located on the north side of South
Wh Street at 7t' Avenue South, when extended. The project was part of an earlier
submittal called Wilson Park (WA09-140). The property was evaluated for development
of a road and utilities to access Wilson Park. The Technical Information Report
prepared by Baima & Holmberg dated May 5, 2009, discusses the onsite areas, off site
drainage systems, and evaluates the downstream drainage system.
This report is provides the necessary preliminary review of the drainage system for
Wilson Park #2. As part of the report, a stormwater treatment system was proposed
within the roadway at the entry of the new road and South
55h. This system was only
sized, at that time, for Wilson Park and the road improvements on Wilson Park #2.
Additional impervious areas will be added to this treatment system with the addition of
10 lots within Wilson Park #2.
Attached within this addendum are calculations that are intended to be a starting point
for sizing the storm treatment facility for the two projects. Under the 2009 City of
Renton Drainage Manual, Best Management Practices (BMP`s) are required to be used
for new developments. One of these BMP's is restricting the impervious areas on the
future lots to help reduce runoff, mitigate for development, and minimize the treatment
system needed for the project. This Restrictive Covenant provision was utilized as part
of a preliminary sizing of the future system for both projects. It is anticipated that the
two projects will occur (be developed) simultaneously.
A review of the two developments utilizing a 3,300 square feet of impervious area per
lot created the proposed stormwater vault shown on the Drainage/Utilities Plan. Based
upon experience developing building footprints and impervious areas on building
permits of similar size lots, 3,300 square feet gives the future builder plenty of
impervious coverage for the home, patio, driveways, and walkways. once the final
engineering plans are developed and cost evaluations are reviewed for this facility,
restricting the lots further is an option to minimize the facility needed.
This is a preliminary review of a possible scenario that a future developer can use.

Step 2: Determine rainfall (R) for the mean annual storm.
R = 0.47 Per KCSWDM Fig. 6.4.1.A
Step 3: Calculate runoff from the mean annual storm (Vr) for the developed site.
Vr=(0.9A;+0.25Ag+0.10Atr+0.01AJx(R112)
where: A. = impervious Surface Area = 107,347 s.f.
At® = Till Grass Area = 62,082 s.f.
AK = Till Forest Area = 0 s.f.
AQ = Outwash Area = 0 s.f-
V, = 4,392 c.f.
Step 4: Calculate required wetpool volume (Vb).
Vb=fxVr
Vb = 13,176 c.f.
Step 5: Calculate required wetpool depth (Dr).
Dmin = V& /(L v x W v7
where: Dm;, = Minimum Calculated Depth
Lv =Vault Length= 110 ft.
Lw = Vault Width = 22 ft.
Dmin = 5.44 ft.

Street Address 720 South 55`h Street
King County Tax Parcel No. 312305-9125
Project Overview
This project involves developing a 2.5 -acre parcel into 13 single-family lots. The site
currently is occupied with a single residence, lawn and wooded areas. The site is located
about 250' north of South 55`
h Street, about 150' east of the east terminus of South 53rd
Place, on the slope overlooking SR 167, about '/z mile to the west. The site generally
slopes down to the west at an average slope of approximately 20%. Per the SCS soil
maps, the site is underlain with Alderwood soil, sandy loam over glacial till.
Upstream Tributary Drainage
A portion of the parcel to the cast of the site drains onto the site. No problems related to
this runoff was noted.
Level 1 Downstream Drainage Analysis
In general, runoff from the site flows west into lots in the adjacent development,
1 Geneva Court (A). The majority of these runoff flows apparently collect in the drain
behind an 8'± rockery (B) constructed along the back yards of the west -most lots of said
development or in area drains in the back yards, then flow into the storm system in
South 53`d Place (C & D). This flow collects in a stormwater pondlbioswale facility
located at the intersection of South 53`d Place and Talbot Road South (E), about 750'
downstream from the site. This facility outfalls through an 18" pipe to the west side of
Talbot Road South into a shallow, poorly defined channel flowing west through the
woods (F). The flows pass through a short 12" culvert (H) under a walking path then
disappear into thick woods/brush, continuing to flow west to a wooded wetland area (I)
beyond 'A mile downstream from the site. This wetland apparently drains to a 10' X 5'±
box culvert crossing under SR -167 (Q), about %z mile downstream from the site.
A small area of the south part of the site drains southwest across the south property line
of the site into the adjacent parcel to the south (Z). These runoff flows through woods,
collecting in a ditches along South
55th Street (K)(about 350' downstream from the site)
and/or Talbot Road South (L)( about 800' downstream from the site). Flows into the
ditch along South 55th Street (K) continue west in a 6"-12" rock -lined ditch channel
0
along the north side of the street, passing through a couple of 12" driveway culverts on
the way to the intersection of South 55"' Street and Talbot Road South (M). This ditch is
eroded in areas and shows signs of overtopping and flowing into the street, presumably
during the recent storms that caused widespread flooding in Western Washington.
Flows from this ditch collect in an 18" storm system (M). Flows from the ditch along
Talbot Road South (L) collect in the same storm system, about 850' downstream from
the site. The 18" storm system continues west under Talbot Road South and west along
the north side of South 192"d Street (N) to about 1200' downstream from the site where
it apparently discharges into another shallow roadside ditch (0)(because of heavy
vegetation the pipe outlet was not located). This ditch is poorly defined with flows
drifting west along the road, where they enter Springbrook Creek at about 1800'
downstream from the site (P). Springbrook Creek, with a channel generally about 5'
wide and 3' deep (water depth of about 1') continues west to about'/2 mile downstream
from the site (J) where it enters the aforementioned 10' X 5't box culvert crossing
under SR -167 (Q). The creek continues flowing west on the west side of SR -167. Other
than the overtopping ditch noted along South 55th Street, there were no apparent
downstream drainage problems. A check of King County drainage complaints on their
1MAP website yielded no reported complaints along this downstream drainage path.

Project Overview
This project involves developing a 2.5 -acre parcel into 13 single-family lots. The site
currently is occupied with a single residence, lawn and wooded areas. The site is located
about 250' north of South
55th Street, about 150' east of the east terminus of South 53rd
Place, on the slope overlooking SR 167, about 'h mile to the west. The site generally
1
slopes down to the west at an average slope of approximately 20%. Per the SCS soil
maps, the site is underlain with Alderwood soil, sandy loam over glacial till.
n
Upstream Tributary Drainage
1 A portion of the parcel to the east of the site drains onto the site. No problems related to
this runoff was noted.
Level 1 Downstream Drainage Analysis
In general, runoff from the site flows west into lots in the adjacent development,
1 Geneva Court (A). The majority of these runoff flows apparently collect in the drain
behind an 8'f rockery (B) constructed along the back yards of the west -most lots of said
development or in area drains in the back yards, then flow into the storm system in
South 53rd Place (C & D). This flow collects in a stormwater pond/bioswale facility
located at the intersection of South 53`d Place and Talbot Road South (E), about 750'
downstream from the site. This facility outfalls through an 18" pipe to the west side of
Talbot Road South into a shallow, poorly defined channel flowing west through the
woods (F). The flows pass through a short 12" culvert (H) under a walking path then
disappear into thick woods/brush, continuing to flow west to a wooded wetland area (I)
beyond'/4 mile downstream from the site. This wetland apparently drains to a 10' X 5'f
box culvert crossing under SR -167 (Q), about 1/z mile downstream from the site.
A small area of the south part of the site drains southwest across the south property line
of the site into the adjacent parcel to the south (Z). These runoff flows through woods,
collecting in a ditches along South
55th Street (K)(about 350' downstream from the site)
and/or Talbot Road South (L)( about 800' downstream from the site). Flows into the
ditch along South 55th Street (K) continue west in a 6"-12" rock -lined ditch channel

SUBJECT: PRE -APP 09-012
Wilson Park Project
A review of the plans and material regarding the Vasquez Short Plat has been conducted
and completed. Please review the Renton Fire & Emergency Services Fire Code and
Policy comments and concerns.
1. FIRE FLOW: Structures up to 3,600 square feet (including garage and basement
areas) shall require a minimum fire flow of 1,000 gallons per minute for two
hours. Structures in excess of 3,600 square feet shall meet a minimum fire flow of
1,500 gallons per minute for two hours. A water availability certificate shall be
required.
2. REQUIRED HYDRANTS: As in accordance with Renton Fire & Emergency
Services Department standards, one (1) hydrant shall be required for structures up
to 3,600 square feet and requiring a minimum fire flow of 1,000 gallons per
minute. For structures over 3,600 square feet and requiring a minimum fire flow
of 1,500 gallons per minute or more shall require a minimum of two (2) hydrants.
The number of hydrants shall also be based on spacing, which shall be in
accordance with sound engineering practices. All hydrants servicing the Wilson
Park project shall be equipped with five inch Storz fittings on the main ports,
3. HYDRANT SPACING: Residential spacing requires hydrants to be located no
greater than 300 feet to the front of any structure. In this case, the existing
hydrants are located much greater than the 300 feet to the existing structures.
Therefore, a minimum of two (2) new hydrants shall be required in Order for the
Wilson Park project to meet the 300 foot spacing.
4. FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS: The minimum fire apparatus road access shall
be no less than 20 feet wide and on a surface capable of sustaining the weight of a
fire apparatus. The turning radius shall be 45 feet to the outside and 25 feet to the
inside.
Rick Moreno, Plan Reviewer
February 24, 2009
Page 2 of 3
At this time, I am concerned about the minimum 20 root access off of South
192"d as a private access. Private accesses are difficult to regulate and to prevent
parking in fire apparatus access roadways that are 20 to 28 feet wide.
If this access cannot be designed as a public street, there are same possible
options that could be considered, but would need to be reviewed and approved by
the Fire Marshal. The options I am proposing as a possibility to mitigate the
access issues are as follows:
A) The gated access would reg uire it to be the type operated off a radio
frequency and known as a Click To Entersystem.
B) The 20 foot road access would require to be marked on both sides o the
road as "NO PARKING AT ANY TIME ". The si a e would need to be
provided b the developer and maintained by the Horne Owners
Association.
C) All of the proposed 16 lots would have to be equ ed with a residential
ire sprinkler system. The ire sprinkler systems would not aide in
mitg the stems Oracle Issue,
5, FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS -- GRADE: It appears that the access into the
Wilson Park neighborhood may be greater than a 15 percent grade. It is important
to note that we strongly require the grade to be no greater than 15 percent for
Renton fire & Emergency Services to recommend a project. Using fire sprinkler
systems to mitigate an access to allow for it to be greater than 15 percent is not an
option.
6. FIRE SPRINKLER: Residential fire sprinklers are not applicable to this project
unless used as an option to mitigate insufficient fire flow or an access issue other
than grade.
7. FIRE MITIGATION FEES: Fire mitigation fees shall be $488.00 per unit and
shall be paid prior to final plat recording. Credit would be given for the one home
that has been dedicated to be removed.
RECOMMENDATION:
LADDER/AERIAL ACCESS: Ladder access for a 35 foot ground ladder set at
a 70 degree angle shall be provided on all four sides of any structure two stories
or greater in height.

NOTE: The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary is
preliminary and non-binding and may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by
official city decision -makers. Review comments may also need to be revised based on
site planning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant,
We have completed a preliminary review for the above -referenced development proposa.
The following comments are based on the pre -application submittal made to the City of
Renton by the applicant.
WATER
1, This site is within the Renton service area. However, due to elevation a f the site,
Renton caluiot provide sufficient sustainable water pressure.. It is recoinnlendcd
that the owner receive a certificate of water availability through Soos Creek Water
District. The City will be able to release the service area upon evidence that Soos
Creek can service this parcel. This certificate will be submitted to the City prior to
release of service area.
TRANSPORTATION
1. Street improvements are required including, but not limited to paving, sidewalks,
curb and gutter, storm drainage, street lighting; and landscaping along street
frontage.
2. Traffic mitigation fees of $75 per additional daily trip shall be assessed per single
family home at a rate of 9.57 trips per day.
3. All wire utilities shall be installed underground per City of Renton Ordinance.
4. A dedication of roadway to adjacent northern property is required prior to
recording. It appears that Tract A is set up for this application. (See Storm Utility
issues).
5 s:. ]u n, 44a.distarnea evaluation .shall be required for roadway
6. The proposed 32 ft. right-of-way with curb, gutter and sidewalk on one side does
not meet current code. An approved variance is required with this proposal.

7. Dedicated right-of-way, meeting City of Renton Street Standards including curb,
gutter and sidewalk improvements fronting all lots shall be required prior to
recording. Current proposal is not acceptable for lots 6 through 9.
8. Maximum road slopes shall be 15% in all cases. Maximum angle of approach is 8
degrees and maximum angle of departure is 10 degrees.
9. Secondary access roadways are sometimes required as specified by the Fire
Marshall. Secondary access roadways are also required by the City of Renton
Street Standards (Title 4, Chapter 6, Section 60G), if streets are over 500 feet, but
not over 700 ft. long, dwellings shall either provide a secondary access road or
provide an approved residential fire sprinkler system shall be installed, If streets
are over 700 ft., a secondary access road is required. Any proposed access -gating
system requires approval from the Renton Fire Department.
10. Sidewalk, curb and gutter shall abut S 192"d St with radius curb per City of
Renton standards.
SANITARY SEWER
1. This site is within the City of Renton Sewer area. The owner shall extend an fl-
inch sanitary sewer main within the proposed right -of way from S 55" St. and
extend to the frontage of each proposed lot. A 15 -foot utility easement shall be
required to extend to the easterly boundary of lot 6, or lot 9.
2- All system development fees shall apply based on the size of the water meter
services.
SURFACE WATRER
I . The project is required to do a drainage analysis and meet the design criteria in
accordance with the 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual with conservation
flow control criteria or current city standard. The 2005 KCSWDM criteria may be
required subject to submitted calculations by the engineer.
2. The Surface Water System Development Charge (SDC) is $3,012 per new single-
family residence. This is payable at the time the utility construction permit is
issued -
3. If the proposed Tract A is dedicated for detention, and a right-of-way dedication
is used to connect to the northern lot, traffic bearing lid(s) will be required to any
proposed storm vault.
GENERAL COMMENTS
1. All utility and street improvements will require separate plan submittals prepared
according to City of Renton drafting standards by a licensed Civil Engineer.
2. If fire sprinkler systems are necessary, then a separate fire sprinkler permit will be
required.
3. Permit application must include an itemized cost of construction estimate for these
improvements.
4. The fee for review and inspection of these improvements is 6% of the first
150,000 of the estimated construction costs 5% of anything over $150,000 but
less than $300,000, and 4% of anything over $300,000. Half the fee must be paid
upon application.

T0: Pre -Application File No. 09-012
FROM: Gerald Wasser, Associate Planner, (425) 430-7382
SUBJECT: Wilson Park
General: We have completed a preliminary review of the pre -application for the above -referenced
development proposal. The following comments on development and permitting issues are
based on the pre -application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant and the
codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this
summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official decision -makers (e.g., hearing
Examiner, Planning Director, Public Works Administrator, Development Services Director and City
Review may also need to be revised based on site planning and other designCouncil). comments
changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. The applicant is encouraged to review all
applicable sections of the Renton Municipal Code. The Development Regulations are available for
purchase for $50.00 plus tax, from the Finance Division on the first floor of City Hall,
Project Proposal: The subject property is located north of S. 551" St. and east of Talbot Rd. S_ at
720S.5 5'h St. The proposal is to subdivide a 108,884 sq. ft. (2.5 acre) parcel into 16 lots and one
tract, for future development of detached single -ramify houses. There is one existing home on the
which would be removed. The site has three different zoning designations, R-1, R -B, and R- parcel,
14, and the applicant is proposing a zone change to R-8 for the entire site. The proposed lots range
from approximately 4,500 sq, ft. to 6,243 sq. ft. in size. The preliminary plat would be accessed via a
50 ft. wide access easement running from S. 55'h St. over a neighboring parcel to the south.
Secondary access would be provided via a 30 ft. ingress, egress, & utility easement over a
neighboring property to the south. The site contains protected slopes and a number of significant
trees.
three different zoningZoninglDensityRequirements: The subject property encompasses
designations. Staff estimates that approximately 75,300 sq. ft. (1.73 ac) are zoned R -B, 31,200 sq. ft,
0.72 ac) are zoned R-1, and 2,384 sq. ft. (0.06 ac) are zoned R-14. These are only approximations.
Density is calculated by first subtracting the area of any access easements and critical areas from the
gross site acreage, and then dividing the number of units by the net acreage. The applicant did not
submit a density worksheet for the proposal. Based on the breakdown of how much land is located in
each zoning designation, staff has estimated that up to 13 units could be built on the R-8 portion of the
lot, no units could be bullt on the 0.72 acre portion in the R-1, and no units could be built on the R-14
portion of the lot. The R-8 zone permits a minimum of 4.0 units per acre and a maximum of 8.0 units
per acre. The applicant's submittal is predicated on a rezone of the R-1 and R-14 portions of the site
to R-8 zoning. Note: While the applicant may request a rezone to R-8, staff is not supportive of
this change of zone. The R-1 zone was applied in this general area to aid in the protection of
critical areas. The R -t zone designation on this property Is part of a larger continuous area
which Includes wetlands, steep slopes, landslide areas, and coal mine areas. This rezone
would also require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Residential Low Density (RLQ) to
Residential Single Family (RSF).
Development Standards: Because the only developable part of the lot is the R-8 portion, unless a
rezone and Comprehensive Plan Amendment are approved, staff has only reviewed compliance with
the development standards for that part of the site.

The R-8 zone permits one residential unit per lot. Detached accessory structures are permitted at a
maximum number of two per lot at 720 square feet each, or one per lot at 1,000 square feet in size.
No accessory structures are allowed on lots without a primary structure.
Minimum Lot Size Width and Depth — The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 zone is 4,500 square
feet for lots greater than 1 acre in size and 5,000 square feet for lots 1 acre or less in size. A minimum
lot width of 50 feet for interior lots and 60 feet for corner lots, as well as a minimum lot depth of 65 feet,
is also required. The total area of the proposed subdivision is greater than 1 acre, so the minimum lot
size is 4,500 square feet. All of the proposed lots in the R-8 portion of the site would far exceed this
minimum. Note: Since this may be a Hillside Subdivision, lots may be required to be larger
than the minimums prescribed in the zone.
Building Standards — The R-8 zone allows a maximum building coverage of 35% of the lot area or
2,500 square feet, whichever is greater for lots over 5,000 square feet in size. Building height is
restricted to 30 feet and 2 -stories. Detached accessory structures must be below a height of 15 feet
and one-story. The gross floor area must be less than that of the primary structure. Accessory
structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations. Given the proposed lot
configuration, it appears that building standards could be satisfied.
Setbacks — Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the
property line or private access easement. The required setbacks in the R-8 zone are 15 feet in frontfortheprimarystructureand20feetinfrontfortheattachedgarage, 20 feet in the rear, 5 feet for
interior side yards, and 15 feet for side yards along streets (including access easements) for the
primary structure and 20 feel for side yards along streets (including access easements) for attached
garages. Given the proposed lot configuration, it appears that setbacks could be satisfied.
Access/Parking: The site has no street frontage, but has existing access easements to South 55th
Street and SE 192"d Street. The applicant is proposing to access the project via 50 -foot road and
utility easement. Road A would have to be a dedicated public right-of-way. Secondary access is
proposed via a 30 -foot ingress, egress, and utility easement. Additionally, the City would require that
the extension of Road A at proposed Lots 8, 9 and 10 be developed to the same standards as the rest
of Road A (including width, sidewalk, curb and gutter) to the northern property line. Subdivisions with
five or more internal lots must provide a public road to serve the new homes. Curb, gutter and
sidewalk improvements would be required. Public rights-of-way must be a minimum of 42 ft. wide.
Reductions in public right -of width and street improvements would require a street modification.
Sidewalks on both sides of the street within the plat and on one side of the southwest access from
South 551h Street would be required.
Each lot must allow for the parking of two vehicles on the property.
Landscaping: The applicant would be required to plant at least two trees of a City approved
species with a minimum caliper of 1 112 inches in the front yard or planting strip of each lot of the short
plat and a 5 -foot strip along the new right-of-way. The trees and landscaping must be planted prior to
final inspection of the new homes. In addition, the stormwater pond must also be landscaped,
Critical Areas: The site contains two small areas of protected steep slopes. There is also an area
of high landslide hazard on the parcel. A geotechnical report will be required at the time of
submittal for a preliminary plat which should Include recommendations by the geotechnical
engineer on location and footings of future homes on the site. Due to the fact that there are
known wetlands In the area, a wetlands study must also be submitted- The wetlands study
mast be conducted according to the City of Renton Critical Areas regulations, a copy of which
is included In the packet of Information given to the applicant at the pre -application meeting.
Secondary review of the wetlands study, at the applicant's expense, may be required. If
wetlands are found, appropriate buffers and Natural Growth Protection
Easements must be established.
Hillside Subdivisions: Hillside Subdivisions are subdivisions in which the average slope is 20% or
in which any street in the subdivision has grades greater than 15% at any point_ RMC 4-7-220
PRE09-012 Wilson Park PP (R-8, 164ot, access,new street, slopes).doc
Wilson Park Pre -Application Meeting
February 26, 2009
Page 3of3
establishes the regulations for Hillside Subdivisions including application requirements, grading
information, street requirements, lot size and erosion control requirements.
Significant Tree Retention: A tree inventory and a tree retention plan shall be provided with the
formal land use application. The tree retention plan must show preservation of at least 30% of
significant trees (6 -inches and greater). A tree retention worksheet will also be required at the time of
formal application, The submitted tree plan must indicate how proposed building footprints will be sited
to accommodate preservation of significant trees that will be retained.
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The R-8 portion of the site is located within the
Residential Single Family (RSF) Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation. The following proposed
policy is applicable to the proposal:
Land Use Element
Policy LU -158. Net development densities should fall within a range of 4.0 to 8,0 dwelling units per
acre in Residential Single Family neighborhoods.
Permit Requirements: Because staff is not supportive of the proposed Comprehensive Plan
Amendment and rezone, the applicant may wish to redesign the project utilizing the R-8 portion
of the site only for residential lots. A redesign of the project would affect permit requirements.
The following permit fees assume that a rezone will not be pursued by the applicant.
To subdivide the parcel, the applicant must make formal submittal for Hearing Examiner
Preliminary Plat Review. A submittal checklist, listing the items that must be included in the
submittal packet to the City, is included in the packet of information given the applicant at the pre -
application meeting. The applicant will be required to install a public information sign on the property
and the City will send out information on the plat to neighboring property owners.
There is a $2,000.00 fee for preliminary plat review. The plat will also require Environmental Review
with an additional fee of $500.00. The time frame for processing the environmental review and
preliminary plat is approximately 12 weeks to the end of the appeal period.
Once approval is received, the applicant must complete any required improvements, such as sewer
and water stubs, surface water management facilities, fire hydrant and grading. A separate utilities
construction permit is required for these improvements. The applicant must also satisfy any conditions
of the preliminary approval from the Hearing Examiner before the plat can be recorded. The newlycreatedlotsmaybesoldonlyaftertheplathasbeenrecorded_ The applicant may submit for building
permit review for the new houses before the plat is recorded, but the City can only issue the building
permits when the plat has been recorded.
A demolition permit would be required for the demolition of the existing house on the subject property.
Fees: In addition to the fees for review of the land -use, construction and building permits, the
following mitigation fees would be required prior to recording of the short plat.
A Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530,76 per new single family residence;
A Transportation Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each new average daily
trip attributable to the project; and,
A Fire Mitigation Fee based on $488.00 per new single-family residence.
A handout listing all of the City's Development related fees in attached for your review.
Expiration: Upon preliminary plat approval, the preliminary plat approval is valid for 5 years with a
possible one-year extension.

Phone: 425.522.4118 Fax: 425.522.4311
We are pleased to present this supplemental traffic impact analysis (TIA) for the
proposed 10 lot Wilson Park Division 2 Plat located on the north side of
S.55 1h St. in the City of Renton. This TIA supplements the information and analysis
presented in the original Wilson Park Plat TIA, dated June 23, 2009, prepared by
Traffex.
The Wilson Park Division 2 site is adjacent to the southwest corner of the
aproved Wilson Park Plat. The proposed project site contains the access road to S.
55 h St. for Wilson Park Plat. The 10 lots of the proposed Wilson Park Division 2 will
have direct driveway connections to the access road connecting the Wilson Park to S.
55th Street. The access road and the location of its intersection to S. 55th St remains the
same as when approved for the original Wilson Park Plat.
The scope of this analysis is based upon the preliminary plat site plan, the Cites
Renton Policy Guidelines for Traffic Impact Analysis for New Development.
Our summary, conclusions and recommendations begin on page 5 of this report.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 shows the Wilson Park Division 2 site plan. The site lies between the
southwest corner of the Wilson Park plat and S. 55th Street.
The proposed project utilizes the same access to S. 55th St. as the approved 12
lot Wilson Park plat.
The site access street intersects S. 55th St. on the outside of a horizontal curve
on S. 55th St. to optimize sight distance in both east and west directions for vehicles
entering and exiting the site.
Page 1
Wilson Park Traff y
Development of the Wilson Park Division 2 plat is expected to occur by the year
2014. Therefore, for purposes of this study, 2014 is used as the horizon year for this
study.
TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION
The 10 single-family units in the proposed Wilson Park Division 2 Plat are
expected to generate the vehicular trips during an average weekday and during the
street traffic peak hours as shown below:

A vehicle trip is defined as a single or one direction vehicle movement with either
the origin or destination (exiting or entering) inside the study site.
The trip generation is calculated using the average trip rates in the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation, Eighth Edition, for Single Family
Detached Housing (ITE Land Use Code 210). These trip generation values account for
all site trips made by all vehicles for all purposes, including resident, visitor, and service
and delivery vehicle trips.
Figure 2 shows the site generated traffic volumes and distribution at the study
intersection. The distribution is based on existing traffic volume patterns, the
characteristics of the road network, the location of likely trip origins and destinations
employment, shopping, social and recreational opportunities), expected travel times,
and previous traffic studies.
EXISTING PHYSICAL CONDITIONS
The streets in the study area are classified per the City of Renton
Comprehensive Plan as follows:
Talbot Rd. S
S55 1h St.
Page 2
Collector Arterial
Local Access
Wilson Park Traffmy,
98th Ave S Local access
98th PI. S Local access
102nd Ave S Local access
S 55th St. consists of two 11 ft. lanes and a shoulder that varies in width from
approximately two to four feet in the vicinity of the project site. A section of S 551h St
east of the project site consists of several sharp curves and is posted with a 15 mph
advisory speed sign and with chevron arrows at each curve within the section. There is
a left turn pocket on S 55th St. at 981h Ave. S, approximately 125 ft. west of the Wilson
Park site access street.
EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
Traffic Volumes
Figure 2 shows existing, future without project and future with project PM peak
hour traffic volumes at the proposed site access street/S 55th St. intersection. The
proposal generates less than 30 PM peak hour trips and no other intersection or street
segment in the City of Renton will experience an increase of 5% in traffic volumes due
to this development. Therefore, only the site access street/S 55th St. intersection
requires a level of service (LOS) analysis per the City of Renton Policy Guidelines for
Traffic Impact Analysis for New Development, A PM peak hour traffic count taken for
the Wilson Park Plat TIA was used for this supplemental analysis since traffic growth in
the area has been generally flat over the past several years.
Level of Service Analysis
Level of Service (LOS) is a qualitative measure describing operational conditions
within a traffic flow, and the perception of these conditions by drivers or passengers.
These conditions include factors such as speed, delay, travel time, freedom to
maneuver, traffic interruptions, comfort, convenience, and safety. Levels of service are
given letter designations, from A to F, with LOS A representing the best operating
conditions (free flow, little delay) and LOS F the worst (congestion, long delays).
Generally, LOS A and B are high, LOS C and D are moderate and LOS E and F are
low.
Table 1 shows calculated level of service (LOS) for future conditions including
project traffic at the pertinent street intersection. The LOS was calculated using the
procedures in the Transportation Research Board Highway Capacity Manual 2000. The
LOS shown indicates overall intersection operation. At intersections, LOS is determined
by the calculated average control delay per vehicle at signalized intersections or the
average delay for the worst minor approach at two way stop sign controlled
intersections. The LOS and corresponding average control delay in seconds are as
follows:

FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WITHOUT THE PROJECT
Figure 2 shows projected 2014 PM peak hour traffic volumes without the project.
These volumes include the existing traffic volume counts, plus background traffic
growth, plus 12 PM peak hour pipeline project trips generated by the Wilson Park plat.
The background growth factor accounts for traffic volumes generated from other
approved but unbuilt subdivisions and general growth in traffic traveling through the
area.
A 3% per year annual background growth rate was added for each year of the
five year time period from the 2009 traffic count to the 2014 horizon year (for a total of
15%). This will result in a very conservative analysis since traffic volumes in the area
have been generally flat for the past several years and are anticipated to continue this
trend.
FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WITH PROJECT
Figure 2 shows the projected future 2014 PM peak hour traffic volumes with the
proposed project. The site -generated PM peak hour traffic volumes were added to the
projected future without project volumes to obtain the future with project volumes.
Table 1 shows calculated LOS for future with project volumes at the Wilson Park
Division 2 site access street/S. 55th St. intersection. The study intersection operates at a
high LOS B for future 2014 conditions, including project -generated traffic, and meets the
City of Renton LOS requirements for intersections.
SIGHT DISTANCE EVALUATION
Sight distance on S 55`h
St. at the proposed site access street was extensively
evaluated in the Wilson Park TIA and meets the City of Renton intersection and
stopping sight distance requirements in both the east and west directions.

TRAFFIC MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS
The City of Renton requires a Transportation Mitigation Fee payment of $75 per
new daily trip attributed to new development. The net new daily trips due to this
development are 96 trips (10units x 9.57 daily trips per unit). The estimated
Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee is $7,200 (96 daily trips X $75 per daily trip).
SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend that the Wilson Park Division 2 Plat be constructed as shown on
the site plan with the following traffic impact mitigation measures:
Construct the street improvements including curb, gutter and sidewalk for
site access street as shown on the site plan.
Contribute the approximately $7,200 Transportation Mitigation fee to the
City of Renton.
No other traffic mitigation should be necessary. If you have any
questions, please call 425-522-4118. You may also contact us via e-mail at

Re: Wilson Park Short Plat - City of Renton
Traffic Impact Analysis
Dear Mr. Wilson:
We are pleased to present this traffic impact analysis report for the proposed 14
lot Wilson Park Residential short plat located at the 720 S. 55h
St. in the City of Renton.
The scope of this analysis its based upon the preliminary plat site plan, the Ci of
Renton Policy Guidelines for Traffic Impact Analysis for New Development, and
conversations with City Renton staff.
Our summary, conclusions and recommendations begin on page seven of this
report.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 is a vicinity map showing the location of the site and study area.
Figure 2 is a close in area map showing the site location and surrounding street
network.
Figure 3 shows the preliminary site plan.
The primary access street runs from the southwest comer of the site to S 55' St.
through a 50 ft. wide easement on the parcel adjacent to the south side of the site. The
primary access from S.
55th St. to the site is 28 ft. wide with a sidewalk on the west side
of the street. A secondary gated emergency vehicle access connects to S 55th St.
though a 30 ft. easement. Streets within the site will be 32 ft. wide with a sidewalk on
one side.
The primary site access street is located on the outside of a horizontal curve on
S 55 h St. to optimize sight distance in both east and west directions for vehicles exiting
the site.

wilso
Development of the Wilson Park plat is expected to occur by the year 2011.
Therefore, for purposes of this study, 2011 is used as the horizon year for this study.
An existing single family home within the project site will be removed with this
development.
TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION
The 14 single-family units in the proposed Wilson Park Plat are expected to
generate the vehicular trips during an average weekday and during the street traffic
peak hours as shown below:
Time Period Trip Rate Tris Trips TotalTripsperunitEnteringExiting
67 67
Average Weekday 9.57 134
50% 50%
AM Peak Hour 0.75 8
1125% 75%
PM Peak Hour 1.01 5
146393
A vehicle trip is defined as a single or one direction vehicle movement with either
the origin or destination (exiting or entering) inside the study site.
The trip generation is calculated using the average trip rates in the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation, Eighth Edition, for Single Family
Detached Housing (ITE Land Use Code 210). These trip generation values account for
all site trips made by all vehicles for all purposes, including resident, visitor, and service
and delivery vehicle trips.
Figure 4 shows the estimated trip distribution and the calculated site -generated
traffic volumes. The distribution is based on existing traffic volume patterns, the
characteristics of the road network, the location of likely trip origins and destinations
employment, shopping, social and recreational opportunities), expected travel times,
and previous traffic studies.

EXISTING PHYSICAL CONDITIONS
Street Facilities
Figure 5 shows existing traffic control, number of street lanes and other pertinent
information.
The streets in the study area are classified per the City of Renton
Comprehensive Plan as follows:
Talbot Rd. S Collector Arterial
S 55" St_ Local Access
98th Ave S Local access
98th PI. S Local access
102nd Ave S Local access
S 55th St. consists of two 11 ft. lanes and a shoulder that varies in width from
approximately two to four feet in the vicinity of the project site. A section of S 55th St.
east of the project site consists of several sharp curves and is posted with a 15 mph
advisory speed sign and with chevron arrows at each curve within the section. There is
a left turn pocket on S 550h
St. at 98th Ave. S, approximately 125 ft. west of the Wilson
Park site access street.
EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
Traffic Volumes
Figure 6 shows existing, future without project and future with project PM peak
hour traffic volumes at the proposed site access street/S 55 h St. intersection. The
proposal generates less than 30 PM peak hour trips and no other intersection or street
segment in the City of Renton will experience an increase of 5% in traffic volumes due
to this development. Therefore, only the site access street/S 55th St. intersection
requires a level of service (LOS) analysis per the City of Renton Polipy Guidelines for
Traffic Impact Analysis for New Development A PM peak hour traffic count was
performed on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 and is included in the Technical Appendix.
Level of Service Analysis
Level of Service (LOS) is a qualitative measure describing operational conditions
within a traffic flow, and the perception of these conditions by drivers or passengers.
These conditions include factors such as speed, delay, travel time, freedom to
maneuver, traffic interruptions, comfort, convenience, and safety. Levels of service are
given letter designations, from A to F, with LOS A representing the best operating
conditions (free flow, little delay) and LOS F the worst (congestion, long delays).
Page 3
Wilson Park rra ffza,
Generally, LOS A and B are high, LOS C and D are moderate and LOS E and F are
low.
Table 1 shows calculated level of service (LOS) for future conditions including
project traffic at the pertinent street intersection. The LOS was calculated using the
procedures in the Transportation Research Board Highway Capacity Manual 2000. The
LOS shown indicates overall intersection operation. At intersections, LOS is determined
by the calculated average control delay per vehicle. The LOS and corresponding
average control delay in seconds are as follows:

Accident History
Historical accident data for the section of S. 55th St. between the intersections
Wh Ave_ S and 99th PI S was obtained from the City of Renton. A total of 4 accidents
occurred from January 1, 2004 through December 31St 2008. Three accidents occurred
on the street section between the intersections, one accident occurred at 99th Pi S and
no accidents occurred at 98th Ave. South. Two of the accidents were injury type
accidents with one being a fatality. The fatality was a single vehicle travelling in the
westbound direction approximately 319 ft west of 99th PI. South.
None of the accidents occurred at the curve on S. 55th St. where the site access
street is proposed to be located. Based on the field review and historical accident data
there are no readily apparent safety issues that should result from the proposed
development. The historical accident data is included in the technical appendix.
FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WITHOUT THE PROJECT
Figure 6 shows projected 2011 PM peak hour traffic volumes without the project.
These volumes include the existing traffic volume counts plus background traffic growth.
The background growth factor accounts for traffic volumes generated from other
approved but unbuilt subdivisions and general growth in traffic traveling through the
area.
A 3% per year annual background growth rate was added for each year of the
two year time period from the 2009 traffic count to the 2011 horizon year of the
Page 4
Wilson Park rraffial
proposal. Cit of Renton historical traffic count data supports the 3% per year growth
rate on S. 55 Street.
FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WITH PROJECT
Figure 6 shows the projected future 2011 PM peak hour traffic volumes with the
proposed project. The site -generated PM peak hour traffic volumes shown on Figure 4
were added to the projected future without project volumes to obtain the future with
project volumes.
Table 1 shows calculated LOS for future with project volumes at the Wilson Park
site access street/S. 55th
St. intersection. The study intersection operates at an
excellent LOS A for future 2011 conditions including project -generated traffic.
SIGHT DISTANCE EVALUATION
Sight distance on S 55th
St. is excellent looking to the west from the proposed
site access street and extends approximately 785 ft. to Talbot Rd. South. Sight
distance to the east is limited by a horizontal curve on S 55th Street. This curve has a
posted advisory speed of 15 mph. In evaluating sight distance, the generally accepted
rule is to add 5 mph to the posted speed to determine the design speed of the street.
Sight distance requirements looking to the east from the Wilson Park site access street
are therefore based on a 20 mph design speed for the horizontal curve on S 55"' Street.
Intersection sight distances and stopping sight distances were measured and
compared to City requirements at the Wilson Park site access street) S 55th St.
intersection. City of Renton is requirements are based on current AASHTO Geometric
Design of Highways and Streets" standards.
Intersection Sight Distance
AASHTO standards for a 20 mph design speed require an intersection sight
distance of 145 ft. looking to the left (east) from the site access street (using an eye
height of 3.5 ft_ and a vehicle height of 4.25 ft.). Attached in the technical appendix are
Exhibits 9-55 and 9-58 showing the current AASHTO standards for intersection sight
distance. A right turning vehicle exiting from the side street is required to enter the
westbound lane and accelerate to 85% of the design speed so as not to interfere with
the traffic flow. The geld measured intersection sight distance looking to left (east) from
the site access street is 215 ft. thus exceeding the AASHTO required 145 feet.
Intersection sight distance looking to the right from the site access street is excellent
and extends all the way to Talbot Rd. S at approximately 785 ft.
Page 5
Wilson Park
Stopping Sight Distance
Stopping sight distance is the distance traveled while the vehicle driver perceives
a situation requiring a stop, realizes that stopping is necessary, applies the brake, and
comes to a stop. A stopping sight distance of 115 ft. is required for a 20 mph design
speed (using an eye height of 3.5 ft. and an object height of 2 ft.). Attached in the
technical appendix is Exhibit 3-1 showing the current AASHTO standards for stopping
sight distance. There is an approximate 10% downgrade in the westbound direction on
S 55 h Street. The required stopping sight distance is therefore increased an additional
40 ft. to account for a 10% downgrade with a 20 mph design speed. The required
westbound stopping sight distance therefore is 115 + 40 ='155 feet. The field measured
westbound stopping sight distance is 197 ft. thus exceeding the required 155 feet.
Stopping sight distance for eastbound vehicles on S.
55th St. is excellent and extends
from Talbot Rd. S. approximately 785 feet to the site access street.
The City of Renton AASHTO based intersection and stopping sight distance
requirements are met at the Wilson Paris site access street/ S 55th St. intersection in
both the east and west directions.
TRAFFIC MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS
The City of Renton requires a Transportation Mitigation Fee payment of $75 per
new daily trip attributed to new development. One existing single family home on site
will be removed with this development resulting in a net increase of 13 single family
homes. The net new daily trips due to this development are 124 trips (13units x 9.57
daily trips per unit). The estimated Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee is $9,300 (124
daily trips X $75 per daily trip).

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Tra,
We recommend that the Wilson Park Plat be constructed as shown on the site
plan with the following traffic impact mitigation measures:
Construct the street improvements including curb, gutter and sidewalk for
site access street and internal site streets as shown on the site plan.
Contribute the approximately $9,300 Transportation Mitigation fee to the
City of Renton.
No other traffic mitigation should be necessary. If you have any

Exhibit 9-55. Design llntersw6on Sight Distance--wC B 1 LeR Tarn From Stop
Sight distance design for left turns. at divided -highway intersections ghould consider multiple
design vdhicles and median width. If the design vehicle used to determine sight distance for a
divided -highway intersectitm is larger than a passenger car, then sight distance for left turns will
need to be checked for that selected design vehicle and far smaller design vehicles as well. If the
divided -highway median is wide enough, to store the design vehicle with a clearance to the
through lanes of approximately I m 13 ft] at both ends of the vehicle, no separate analysis for the
departure sight triangle for left turns is needed on the minor -road approach for the near roadway
to the left. In mast cases, the departure sight triangle for Tight turas (Case B2) will provide
sufficient sight distance for a passenger car to cross the near roadway to reach the av% ian.
Possible exceptioris are addressed in.tk discussion of Case B3.
If the design vehicle can be stored in the median_ with adequate clearance to the through
lames, a departure sight triangle to the right for left turns_ should be provided for that design
vehicle turning left from #leo median roadway. Where the median is not -wide enough to store the
design vehicle, a departure sight triangle should be.provided for that design vehicle to turn ]eft
from the minor -road approach.
The median width should be considered in determining the number of lanes to be crossed.
Tho median width should be converted to equivalent lanes. For example, a 7.2-m j24 -ft] median
should be considered as two additional lanes to be crossed in applying the multilane highway
adjustment for time gaps in Exhibit 9-54. Futthermore. a departure sight triangle for left tarns
from the median roadway should be provided for the largest design vehicle that can be stored on

Note: intersection sight distance shown is for a stopped passenger oar to tum left onto a
two-lane highway with no median and grades 3 percent or less. For other
conditions, the time gap must be adjusted and required sight distance recalculated.
Exhibit 9-55. Design llntersw6on Sight Distance--wC B 1 LeR Tarn From Stop
Sight distance design for left turns. at divided -highway intersections ghould consider multiple
design vdhicles and median width. If the design vehicle used to determine sight distance for a
divided -highway intersectitm is larger than a passenger car, then sight distance for left turns will
need to be checked for that selected design vehicle and far smaller design vehicles as well. If the
divided -highway median is wide enough, to store the design vehicle with a clearance to the
through lanes of approximately I m 13 ft] at both ends of the vehicle, no separate analysis for the
departure sight triangle for left turns is needed on the minor -road approach for the near roadway
to the left. In mast cases, the departure sight triangle for Tight turas (Case B2) will provide
sufficient sight distance for a passenger car to cross the near roadway to reach the av% ian.
Possible exceptioris are addressed in.tk discussion of Case B3.
If the design vehicle can be stored in the median_ with adequate clearance to the through
lames, a departure sight triangle to the right for left turns_ should be provided for that design
vehicle turning left from #leo median roadway. Where the median is not -wide enough to store the
design vehicle, a departure sight triangle should be.provided for that design vehicle to turn ]eft
from the minor -road approach.
The median width should be considered in determining the number of lanes to be crossed.
Tho median width should be converted to equivalent lanes. For example, a 7.2-m j24 -ft] median
should be considered as two additional lanes to be crossed in applying the multilane highway
adjustment for time gaps in Exhibit 9-54. Futthermore. a departure sight triangle for left tarns
from the median roadway should be provided for the largest design vehicle that can be stored on
