Thomas,
Thank you for your comments, your comments have been included in the official file for consideration
by the decision maker and you have been added as a party of record for this project.
Regarding your comments on ground water drainage, that is something that we will be reviewing as part
of the development review process. The City has adopted the 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design
Manual, which this project will be required to comply with. The applicant submitted a drainage report
(Technical Information Report) with their project application materials. According to their submitted
report a Stormwater detention vault is proposed to be installed within the new driveway to collect
surface water generated from the development proposal. The project file is available online and can be
viewed here if you would like more information.
Thanks,
Jill Ding

Dear Ms. Ding,
I am responding to the Notice of Application concerning the development of 857 Field Ave NE.
A portion of our property borders the southwest corner of the above property. How will this
proposed construction affect the ground water drainage for those of us with property on the
downward slope below this property? We are concerned about more land being covered with
buildings and driveways. When a very large home was built and areas paved on Field Ave. by
the Mormon Tabernacle, we noticed our property developed streams of water flowing down to
the street from October through February before it could soak into the ground. This is not
healthy nor does it enhance our property in any way. We feel building more structures on 857
Field Ave. NE will only make matters worse. Consideration should be given to the issue of
ground water in this area. Please take this into consideration in your decision making.
We would like to be made a party of record and receive information at
athomascarlson@gmail.com.
Respectfully yours, A. Thomas Carlson
