The applicant is requesting approval of a Shoreline Exemption for the proposed
construction of a 157 sq. ft. addition between the primary structure and the detached
garage on the property located at 5201 Ripley Lane N (APN 2924059005). The property
is located within the Residential-8 (R-8) zone and is situated on the shoreline of Lake
Washington in the Shoreline Residential designation, Reach B. Adjacent properties are
also zoned R-8. The existing single-family home on the site is approximately 1,340 sq. ft.
in size, is located approximately 16 feet from the OWHM, and is outside of the required
15-foot vegetation conservation buffer. Work would occur approximately 60 feet landward
from the OHWM and is anticipated to occur in January of 2020. No trees or vegetation
removal are proposed for removal and no additional impervious surface coverage is
proposed (existing concrete pad under location of proposed addition).

which meets all requirements of the state agency or local government having jurisdiction thereof. The existing single family
residence is currently located between 16 feet away from the ordinary high water mark (OHWM), which is outside of the
required 15 foot vegetation conservation buffer. The proposed construction would be located approximately 60.feet landward
of the OHWM. The vegetated buffer area between the residence and the OHWM would be altered and the project would
not result in a net increase of impervious surfaces on the site. Therefore the proposed site improvements would not impact
the ecological and habitat functions of the shoreline.
The proposed development is:
Consistent with the policies of the Shoreline Management Act.
Consistent with the guidelines of the Department of Ecology where no Master Program has been finally approved or
adopted by the Department.
Consistent with the City of Renton Shoreline Master Program.
