BACKGROUND: Windsor Way NE is classified as a Residential access street with an existing right-of-way width of 60 feet per the King County Assessor’s Map. The existing roadway pavement width is approximately 32 feet. The existing frontage along Windsor Way NE includes a 6 foot sidewalk, curb and gutter. Per RMC 4-6-060, Complete Street Standards, a Residential Access street requires a minimum right-of-way width of 53 feet. A minimum paved roadway width of 26 feet consisting of two 10- foot travel lanes and one 6-foot parking lane is required. A 0.5-foot curb, 8-foot planter, and 5- foot sidewalk are required along each side of the pavement. To meet the City’s Complete Street Standards and retain the existing curbline, right-of-way dedication would be required to install the 8-foot planter and 5-foot sidewalk behind the existing curb. The proposed residence is in a developed neighborhood that includes a 6-foot sidewalk that is non-conforming with current sidewalk standards. The existing roadway meets the requirement for an emergency access roadway (20-foot paved roadway width with an approved fire access turnaround).
