SUBJECT: The Estates at Quail Ridge Short Plat
1. The fire flow requirement for a single-family home is 1,000 gpm minimum for dwellings up to
3,600 square feet (including garage and basements). If the dwelling exceeds 3,600 square feet, a
minimum of 1,500 gpm fire flow would be required. A minimum of one fire hydrant is required within
300-feet of the proposed buildings and two hydrants if the fire flow goes up to 1,500 gpm. The existing
fire hydrants are not within 300 feet of all of the proposed new lots. A minimum of one new hydrant
will be required. Water service provided by King County Water District 90.
2. The fire impact fees are currently applicable at the rate of $829.77 per single family unit. This fee
is paid at building permit issuance. Credit will be granted for any existing homes that are removed or
retained.
3. Fire department apparatus access roadways are required to be a minimum of 20-feet wide fully
paved, with 25-feet inside and 45-feet outside turning radius. Fire access roadways shall be constructed
to support a 30-ton vehicle with 75-psi point loading. Access is required within 150-feet of all points on
the buildings. Dead end streets that exceed 150-feet in length require an approved turnaround. It
appears turning radius proposed do not meet minimum standards.
It appears the proposal does not provide full 20-foot wide roadway. Any variance from roadway widths
would require all future homes to be fully fire sprinklered. Even with fire sprinklers, minimum roadway
widths are 16-feet. No variance is allowed for the area required for the required turnaround; this must
all be a minimum of 20-feet wide.

TO: Pre-Application File No. 21-000161
FROM: Alex Morganroth, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: 15514 SE 132nd St
Parcel #s 1423059116
General: We have completed a preliminary review of the pre-application for the above-referenced development
proposal. The following comments on development and permitting issues are based on the pre -application
submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant and the codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant
is cautioned that information contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by
official decision-makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Community & Economic Development Administrator, Public Works
Administrator, Planning Director, Development Services Director, and City Council). Review comments may also
need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant.
The applicant is encouraged to review all applicable sections of the Renton Municipal Code. The Development
Regulations are available online at https://www.codepublishing.com/WA/Renton/.
Project Proposal: The applicant is proposing to subdivide one existing parcels into four lots and one tract. The
subject property proposed for subdivision are located at 15514 SE 132nd St (APN 1423059116). The parcel totals
approximately 46,871 sq. ft. in size. An existing home and two associated accessory buildings are located on the
property and are proposed for removal as part of the project. The site has a Comprehensive Plan Land Use of
Designation of Residential Low Density (RLD) and a zoning designation of Residential-4 (R-4) dwelling units per net
acre (du/ac). The size of the proposed lots range from approximately 9,834 SF to 11,978 SF. Access to all four lots is
proposed via a new 4,709 SF shared driveway tract. According to COR Maps, no critical areas are present on the
project site. The applicant did not indicate the proposed removal of any trees or vegetation on the project site;
however, some tree removal is expected based on the site layout.
Current Use: The site is currently developed with a single-family home and detached accessory buildings.
Zoning/Density Requirements: The subject property is located within the R-4 zoning classification. A maximum of
4.0 dwelling units per acre is allowed in the R-4 zone. There is no minimum density for the R-4 zone. The Residential
Low Density Land Use designation is intended to provide transition to the rural area, or those appropriate for larger
lot housing within the Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designation to allow for a range of lifestyles.
The area of public and private streets (including driveway tracts) and critical areas (excluding buffers) would be
deducted from the gross site area to determine the “net” site area prior to calculating density. In order to calculate
the proposed density of the project, any area of public road, private easement (including the paved portion of the
driveway tract), and/or critical area dedication must be known. As proposed, the four lots and one driveway tract
would have a net density of approximately 4.13 du/ac (4 units/0.96 ac = 4.13 du/ac). Once dedication
requirements are determined, the applicant will need to subtract the ROW dedication from the gross acreage to
8
obtain a final net density. Compliance with the density standards would be required to be demonstrated at the
time of formal land use application.
Please note that calculations for minimum or maximum density which result in a fraction that is one-half (0.50) or
greater shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. Those density calculations resulting in a fraction that is
less than one-half (0.50) shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, “Development Standards for Single Family
Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application (noted as “R-4 standards” herein)
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The minimum lot size permitted in the R-4 zone, is 9,000 square feet for
parcels being subdivided. Minimum lot width is 70 feet for interior lots and 80 feet for corner lots; minimum lot
depth is 100 feet. All proposed lots appear to meet the minimum size and depth requirements for the R-4 zone.
However, Lots 3 and 4 are classified as a corner lots and would be required to have a lot width of at least 80 feet.
Please note that pipestem (aka flag) lots are only permitted if necessary to meet the minimum density of the
zone. The R-4 zone does not have a minimum density requirement and is therefore a pipestem lot would not be
allowed. It is the applicant’s responsibility to demonstrate compliance with the minimum lot size, width and depth
criteria of the zone at the time of formal land use application.
Building Standards – The R-4 standards allow a maximum building coverage of 35% of the lot area. The maximum
impervious coverage in the R-4 zone is 50%. The maximum wall plate height is restricted to 32 feet, and the buildings
shall be not more than three stories. Roofs with a pitch equal to or greater than 4:12 may project an additional six
(6) vertical feet from the maximum wall plate height; common rooftop features, such as chimneys, may project an
additional four (4) vertical feet from the roof surface. Non-exempt vertical projections (e.g., decks, railings, etc.)
shall not extend above the maximum wall plate height unless the projection is stepped back one -and-a-half (1.5)
horizontal feet from each façade for each one (1) vertical foot above the maximum wall plate height. Detached
accessory structures must remain below a wall plate height of 12 feet. The gross floor area must be less than that
of the primary structure. Accessory structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations. Compliance
with the building standards for the new building would be required to be demonstrated at the time of building
permit review.
Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the property line. The
required setbacks for the R-4 zone are: Front yard: 30 feet for the primary structure; Rear yard: 25 feet; Side yards:
20 feet combined (minimum of 7.5 feet on either side); and Secondary Front yard: 30 feet. Corner lots required to
have a front yard and a secondary front yard are relieved of the requirement to have a rear yard; in place of a rear
yard setback, the side yard setback of the zone shall apply. The setbacks would be measured from the new property
lines after roadway dedication. Proposed Lots 3 and 4 shall be subject to corner lot setback requirements.
Access/Parking/Driveways: Access to all lots is proposed via a driveway tract off of S 132nd St oriented
north/south on the site. Due to high traffic volumes, driveways off of 156th Ave SE would not be permitted.
Shared driveways may be allowed for access to four (4) or fewer residential lots, provided:
a. At least one of the four (4) lots abuts a public right-of-way and the street frontage of the lot is equal
to or greater than the lot width requirement of the zone;
b. The subject lots are not created by a subdivision of ten (10) or more lots;
c. A public street is not anticipated by the City of Renton to be necessary for existing or future traffic
and/or pedestrian circulation through the short subdivision or to serve adjacent property;
d. The shared driveway would not adversely affect future circulation to neighboring properties;
e. The shared driveway is no more than three hundred feet (300') in length; and
f. The shared driveway poses no safety risk and provides sufficient access for emergency vehicles and
personnel.
9
Shared driveways shall be within a tract; the width of the tract and paved surface shall be a minimum
of twenty feet (20').
If a shared driveway abuts properties that are not part of the subdivision, an eight foot (8') wide
landscaped strip shall be provided between the shared driveway and neighboring properties. The
landscape strip shall be within a tract and planted with a mixture of trees, shrubs, and groundcover. The
shared driveway may be required to include a turnaround per subsection H of RMC 4-6-060. The maximum
grade for the shared driveway shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%), except for within approved hillside
subdivisions. The driveway slopes cannot exceed 15%. If the grade exceeds 15%, a variance is required.
Any driveway shall be setback at least 5 feet from the side lot lines (unless utilizing a joint driveway). Each
lot is required to accommodate off street parking for a minimum of two vehicles. The maximum driveway
slopes cannot exceed 15%. If the grade exceeds 15%, a variance is required. Driveways exceeding eight
percent (8%) shall provide slotted drains at the lower end with positive drainage discharge to restrict
runoff from entering the garage/residence or crossing any public sidewalk. Compliance with private
driveway standards would be verified at the time of building permit review.
Each new lot shall have space for a minimum of two (2) off-street parking stalls.
Fences/Walls: If the applicant intends to install any fences or retaining walls as part of this project, the
location must be designated on the landscape plan or grading plan. A fence and/or wall detail should also
be included on the plan. A retaining wall that is 4 feet or taller, as measured by the vertical distance from
the bottom of the footing to the finish grade at the top of the wall requires a building permit. A fence shall
not be constructed on top of a retaining wall unless the total combined height of the retaining wall and
the fence does not exceed the allowed height of a standalone fence. For more information about fences
and retaining walls refer to RMC 4-4-040.
Landscaping: With the exception of critical areas, all pervious area shall have landscape treatment. Landscaping
may include hardscape such as decorative paving, rock outcroppings, fountains, plant containers, etc. Ten feet (10')
of on-site landscaping is required along all public street frontages. Street trees and groundcover shall be planted
within right-of-way planting strips and there shall be a minimum of one street tree planted per lot. Where there is
insufficient right-of-way space or no public frontage, street trees are required in the front yard subject to approval
of the Administrator. A minimum of two (2) trees are to be located in the front yard prior to final inspection.
Storm drainage facilities are required to comply with the minimum 15-foot perimeter landscaping strip on the
outside of the fence unless otherwise determined through the site plan review or subdivision review process. Please
refer to landscape regulations RMC 4-4-070 for further general and specific landscape requirements.
A conceptual landscape plan shall be provided with the formal land use application as prepared by a registered
Landscape Architect or other certified professional.
Significant Tree Retention: If significant trees are proposed to be removed, a tree inventory and a tree retention
plan along with a tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application. The tree
retention plan must show preservation of at least 30 percent (30%) of significant trees, and indicate how
proposed building footprints would be sited to accommodate preservation of significant trees that would be
retained. The Administrator may authorize the planting of replacement trees on the site if it can be demons trated
to the Administrator's satisfaction that an insufficient number of trees can be retained.
In addition to retaining 30% of existing significant trees, the lot would be required to provide a minimum tree
density of 2 trees per 5,000 square feet of lot area onsite.
Significant trees shall be retained in the following priority order:
Priority One: Landmark trees; significant trees that form a continuous canopy; significant trees on slopes greater
than twenty percent (20%); Significant trees adjacent to critical areas and their associated buffers; and Significant
trees over sixty feet (60') in height or greater than eighteen inches (18") caliper.
10
Priority Two: Healthy tree groupings whose associated undergrowth can be preserved; Other significant native
evergreen or deciduous trees; and Other significant non- native trees.
Priority Three: Alders and cottonwoods shall be retained when all other trees have been evaluated for retention
and are not able to be retained, unless the alders and/ or cottonwoods are used as part of an approved
enhancement project within a critical area or its buffer.
The Administrator may require independent review of any land use application that involves tree removal and land
clearing at the City's discretion.
If staff determines that the trees cannot be retained, replacement trees, with at least a 2-inch caliper or an
evergreen at least 6 feet tall, shall be planted at a rate of 12 caliper inches of new trees to replace each protected
tree removed. A formal tree retention plan prepared by an arborist or landscape architect would be reviewed at
the time of the formal land use application if any trees are proposed for removal.
Critical Areas: According to COR Maps, no critical areas are located on the project. However, it is the applicant’s
responsibility to ascertain whether any critical areas are present on the site.
Environmental Review: Projects consisting of nine (9) units or less and that will not impact a critical area are
exempt from Environmental (SEPA) Review. Based on the proposal submitted by the applicant, the proposed
project would be exempt from SEPA review.
Permit Requirements: The proposal would require administrative short plat approval. The 2021 administrative
short plat application fee is $5,680.50 ($5,410 plus a 5% Technology Surcharge Fee). The 2021 fee for modification
requests is $250 ($260 plus a 5% Technology Surcharge Fee) .All fees are subject to change. The applications
would be reviewed concurrently within an estimated time frame of six to eight weeks. Detailed information
regarding the land use application submittal can be found on the City’s permitting page at
permitting.rentonwa.gov and clicking on “Land Use”, then “All Forms (A to Z).” The City now requires electronic
plan submittal for all applications.
Once Preliminary Short Plat approval is obtained, the applicant must complete the required improvements and
dedications, as well as satisfy any conditions of the preliminary approval before submitting for Final Short Plat
review. Once final approval is received, the plat may be recorded. The newly created lots may only be sold after the
plat has been recorded. In addition to the required land use permits, separate construction and building permits
would be required.
Public Notice: A minimum of one Public Information Sign is required for a Short Plat application. The applicant is
responsible for the procurement, installation and maintenance of the sign. Detailed information regarding the land
use application submittal requirements is provided on the City of Renton website (www.rentonwa.gov).
Fees: In addition to the applicable building and construction fees, impact fees would be required. Such fees would
apply to all projects and payable prior to building permit issuance. The 2021 impact fees are as follows:
• A Transportation Impact Fee based on $10,861.69 per each new detached dwelling unit.
• A Parks Impact Fee based on $2,914.99 per each new detached dwelling unit.
