RE: - Singh & Kaur Residence - B20003694 Street Modification Clarification
Permit #: B20003694
Site Address: 427 Windsor Way NE
Renton WA 98056
Dear Mr. Nathan Janders,
This letter is in regards to the Building Permit Application B20003694 at 427 Windsor Way NE
Renton WA 98056, Parcel Number 9476200370, specifically a request to the street standards
requirements required per RMC 4-6-060.
Project Narrative:
This project involves the construction of a new single family residence home on a 6,500 sq. ft.
parcel at the address listed above. The property is currently zoned R-8. The property currently
has an existing home that was built in 1943. This home is currently permitted to be demolished
under Permit Number B20005332.
Modification:
The proposed code section being modified is RMC 4-6-060.
This project site fronts Windsor Way NE along the East side of the Property line. Per City code
4-6-060, half street improvements shall be required and must include a pavement width of 20
feet (13 feet from centerline), a 0.5- foot curb, an 8 foot planting strip, an 5 - foot sidewalk, street
trees and storm drainage improvements.
However, the city will support efforts to retain existing frontage along Lynnwood Ave NE under
the following condition: The curb, sidewalk, and driveway must meet current ADA and City
Standards. A modification request will be required to be submitted to the City.
Justification:
A)The modification substantially meets the policy directives and objectives of the current
City’s Comprehensive Plan. It is the minimum adjustment necessary to meet projected
future use requirements such as replacing the driveway.
B)Sidewalks and frontage requirements will meet safety, function, appearance and
maintainability. Sidewalks meet criteria as proposed in RMC 4-6-060. No change
necessary.
C)Not replacing the sidewalk will not be injurious to the adjacent properties as it matches
all the surrounding sidewalks of the neighborhood.
D)The sidewalk does not conform to the intent and purpose of the code. 5’ sidewalk on
both sides. ANd to match surrounding sidewalks.
E)The sidewalk meeting the code and to match the surrounding sidewalks is a good
reason to keep it existing and not have to replace. The city supports efforts to retain
frontage with conditions.
F)The modification will not harm or impact the surrounding properties in the vicinity as it
matches all other sidewalks and is in good condition.
