City staff or made by the applicant.
I have completed a preliminary review of the application for Custom Pressed Tees located at 205 Logan

205 Logan Avenue S. into a t-shirt shop. No exterior or parking lot improvements are proposed.
WATER COMMENTS

that can provide 4,300 gallons per minute (gpm). There is also a 12” water main east of the site
along the western frontage of Logan Avenue S. that can provide 4,800 gpm. Reference COR

b. At the northeast corner of the intersection of Logan Avenue S. and S. 2nd Street
approximately 90 feet northeast of the site’s northeastern corner (COR Facility ID HYD-
S-00088).
c. Along the northern frontage of S. 2nd Street, approximately 65 feet northwest of the
site’s northwestern corner (COR Facility ID HYD-S-00197).
4. There is an existing 1” meter serving the existing building. This meter can be reused for the
renovated building. Installation of a reduced pressure backflow assembly (RPBA) in an above
ground heated enclosure per COR Standard Plan 350.2 is required behind the meter. The RPBA
may be located inside the building if drainage for the relief valve is provided. Please coordinate
with the City water utility plan reviewer if you propose to locate the RPBA inside the building.
5. The RPBA installation is permitted through an over the counter plumbing permit through the
building department. Please contact the building department for particular plumbing permit
application questions.
6. As the existing water service will be reused, no water system development charges are
applicable.
SEWER COMMENTS
1. Sewer service is provided by the City of Renton.
North of the site, there is an existing 12” concrete sewer flowing east to west in the southern
portion of S. 2nd Street. Reference COR Project File WWP2701778 for record drawings. There is
also an 18” sewer flowing east to west north of the 12” main. No record drawings are available
for this main.
East of the site, there is an existing 8” PVC sewer flowing south to north in Logan Avenue S.
Reference COR Project File WWP2702110 for record drawings.
2. There are two existing side sewers serving the existing building. Both side sewer stubs serving
the site are 6” PVC and connect to the 8” main in Logan Avenue S. Both side sewer stubs can be
reused to serve the renovated building. The PVC side sewer stubs replaced old clay side sewer
stubs that originally served the building. We strongly suggest that you identify if there is still
remaining clay side sewer and replace it as necessary.
3. As the existing sewer service will be reused, no sewer system development charges are
applicable.
STORM DRAINAGE COMMENTS
1. No storm drainage improvements are required as no new and/or replaced impervious surface is
proposed.

1. The current transportation impact fee is $3.33 per square foot of retail space. A transportation
impact fee credit will be issued for the existing building use. The transportation impact fee for
an automotive garage is $3.33. Thus, the impact fee will balance with the credit, and no
additional transportation impact fee will be due.
2. As this project is proposing an interior remodel and no new construction or additions valued at
over $50,000, no street frontage improvements or right of way dedication are required.
GENERAL COMMENTS
1. The SDCs listed are for 2016. The fees that are current at the time of the utility permit
application will be levied. Please see the City of Renton website for current SDCs.
