Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057 RMC 4-4-080 modification request (Project Address: 1115 N 33rd Pl. Parcel # 3342102090). Respected Development Engineer, I am writing this modification request letter with following explanations of hardships and practical difficulties involved in carrying out the provisions of this Title. However, I do understand and agree with the intent and purpose of this code, presenting justifications to grant the modification of this code: a. As I am requesting the attached garage be permitted in the front with vehicular access from N 33rd Pl, I will ensure that the visual impact of garage will be minimized, while porches and front doors will be the emphasis of the front of the home. Garages shall be in a manner that minimizes the presence of the garage. (Please see attached plan). b. Safety is the biggest concern among other hardships. I have driven myself through the Alley width of about 12 feet, from Park Ave N to the west end of new construction underway (Parcel # 3342102105 and # 3342102110). At the same time, another vehicle came out of the garage located in the alley, forcing me to reverse back through the Alley to Park Ave N. The Alley access is not useful currently as it does not go through at this time and there are scarce prospects that this Alley will improve to go through, as west side of our location through Burnett Ave is noted with new construction projects (Parcel # 3342102041 and #3342102040) plan with vehicular access from N 33rd Pl. If in future, the Alley can be improved to benefit the neighborhood, the set back of my project location, in the rear yard is 20’ in compliance with the City of Renton Code, for dedication. Another practical notable hardship is alley improvement makes it impossible to preserve some old and existing trees. The topography of the site proposed for development is mapped with sensitive slops, contributing to not conducive for an alley configuration. c. The other property owners in the vicinity verbalized the concerns about Alley access being narrow and unsafe, and prefer the vehicular access from N 33rd Pl. Therefore, my request to grant access from N 33rd Pl is in agreement with their concern posing no injury to the properties in the vicinity. d. As I have mentioned above, I do understand and agree with the intent and purpose of this code, I will ensure that the visual impact of garage will be minimized, while porches EXHIBIT 2 DocuSign Envelope ID: 9D78CC63-BEB6-46D9-BB16-E3084BB00203 and front doors will be the emphasis of the front of the home. Garages shall be in a manner that minimizes the presence of the garage. (Please see attached plan). e. With the above presented hardships and justifications, I agree to deposit ‘Pay a fee in lieu’ for future street/alley improvements. f. Again, I have visited some of the other property owners in the vicinity, who have concerns about the alley being unsafe for vehicular access to and from Park Ave N. Other property owners in the vicinity verbalized their recommendations and intention to request access from N 33rd Pl. I thank you for your consideration and respectfully request the modification to RMC 4-4-080 for vehicular access from N 33rd Pl, for the project site address 1115 N 33rd Pl.
