Seattle, WA 98101
Subject: Wong Residence
412 Windsor Way NE
Dear Mr. Pappin:
This letter is written in response to your correspondence dated June 12, 2001
requesting approval of a reduction of the required 20-foot front yard setback to 15 feet.
As presented in your request, the code provision which allows for averaging the front
yard setbacks of abutting properties would appropriately apply to this site. Therefore,
this Division will be able to grant your request for a reduced front yard setback for the
primary structure.
The applicable provision (RMC section 4-2-110.D.6) states the following:
"A front yard setback of less than 20' may be allowed by the Development
Services Division if the average front yard setback of primary structures
on lots abutting the side yards is less than 20'. In such case, the front
yard setback shall not be less than the average of the front setback of the
abutting primary structures; however, in no case shall a minimum setback
of less than 20' be allowed for garages which access from the front yard
street(s). Modifications to this requirement due to site constraints or lot
configuration may be approved by the Development Services Division.”
Based on Exhibit A of your letter, the abutting property addressed as 422 Windsor Way
has an existing non-conforming front yard setback of 10 feet for the primary structure.
In addition, the abutting property to the west (addressed as 410 Windsor Way) complies
with the required 20-foot setback.
Therefore, based on the provision listed above a minimum front yard setback of 15 feet
(average of 10 feet and 20 feet) would be allowed for the primary structure proposed at
412 Windsor Way. The proposal also appears to comply with all other pertinent
development standards of the R-8 zone. You may now proceed with applying for the
necessary building and construction permits for the revised residential project.

RE: Mr. Ken Wong and Ms. Li Wan Li-Wong
Proposed revisions to building permit at
412 Windsor Way NE
Building Permit No. B000444
Dear Ms. Nishihira:
Please find attached a proposal for a revised project for the above noted building permit.
A portion of this proposal requires a reduction in the front yard setback from 20 feet to 15 feet.
Accordingly, we request the Development Services Division conduct an administrative review
and provide a threshold determination of this application prior to Mr. Wong undertaking full
construction documentation. Based on our review of the Renton Municipal Code, we believe
this request properly falls within the scope of such a review, and does not require a Variance
Application.
Project Name: Additions to the Wong/Li Residence
Location:
412 Windsor Way NE
Renton, Washington
Ms. Lesley Nishihira
City of Renton

Page 2 of 4
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to construct additions to two areas at an existing single
family residence.
1) An addition to the living area that partially expands the existing first floor
toward the front yard of the residence (adding approximately 388 square feet) and
adds a new second floor, and
2) A new 492 square foot attached 2 car garage addition at the rear of the
property.
Concept plans for the proposed site, and first and second floor are attached as
Exibit B. A break down of building area is as follows:
Existing New Project
Addition Total Area
First Floor 1,330 SF 1 388 SF 1,718 SF
New Second Floor 1,544 SF 1,544 SF
New Garage 492 SF 492 SF
TOTAL 3,754 SF
1. The existing First Floor calculation includes the existing garage.
SETBACK REQUIREMENTS
The living area addition requires a reduction in the front yard setback from 20 feet
to 15 feet. The Renton Municipal Code provides for such reductions by administrative
decision under Section 4-2-110D.6.2
2 "A front yard setback of less than 20'may be allowed by the Development Services Division if the average
front yard setback of primary structures on lots abutting the side yards is less than 20'. In such case,the front yard
setback shall not be less than the average of the front setback of the abutting primary structures. . . " RMC, Section
4-2-110D.6.

The property immediately west of the subject property (410 Windsor Way NE)
conforms to the existing front yard set back requirements. See Exhibit A and Photo 1,
attached. Immediately east of the subject property is a public utility right of way
approximately 150 feet wide. No residential construction is in the right of way. At 422
Windsor Way NE (the residential property east of the right of way) a significant portion
of the residential structure is constructed to within 10 feet of the front property boundary.
See Photo 2. This construction includes both living area and a 2 car garage.
By averaging the distance between each residential structure and the respective
property boundaries between the adjacent lots (#410 at zero intrusion and# 422 at 10 foot
intrusion), a 5 foot reduction in the front yard setback of#412 is appropriate.
LOT COVERAGE
Existing Site:
The existing lot is located on the south side of Windsor Way NE and is
zoned R-8. The lot area is 6,313 square feet.
Existing Residence:
The existing single family residence is a single floor structure,
approximately 1080 square feet. The existing parking is an attached single car garage,
approximately 250 square feet. The existing structure occupies a total footprint of 1,330
square feet, approximately 21% of the total lot
Proposed Additions:
Addition 1, the living area addition. This addition is primarily at the
front and above the existing structure. The front addition enlarges the first floor living
room and reconfigures the entry. This addition results in an increase in the foot print of
approximately 388 square feet.
The second story portion adds living area above both the new and the
existing structure. The living area added by this addition is approximately 1,544 square
feet. However, there is no increase in footprint by this addition.
The proposed additions are all to the living area. The proposed addition
requires a reduction in the front yard set back to 15 feet.

Addition 2, the garage addition. This addition places a 2 car garage in
the rear yard. Access to the garage from the street will be provided by the construction of
a new driveway along the east side yard. No administrative variations or special reviews
are required for this addition.
Coverage calculation. The total footprint of the completed building
additions would be 2,210 square feet which results in a lot coverage ratio of 35 %. This
lot coverage is within the ratio permitted for lots of over 5,000 square feet.
We request that you look favorably on the above request. With your approval, Mr. Wong
will prepare revised construction documents for submittal. If you have any questions on the
foregoing, we are available at(206) 264-1700.
Very truly yours,

RECEIVED
Dear Jana Huerter: CITY CLERK'S OFFICE
I am writing to you in regards to the above Administrative Variance Application. I received the Report&Decision for
the Administrative Variance Application stated the variance is denied.
The Report&Decision Document was reviewed and found that the"Findings"stated are incomplete and mislead. The
following are the brief summary of the issues,which I brought up during the pre-application process and verbally
during the variance application process. I believed these issues have not been reviewed thoroughly by planning
technician:
1. There is property located at 412 Windsor Way NE that had construction in recent years. This property has
similar design of double garages facing Windsor Way NE. It has two stories height of double garages at
ground level with living space directly above,and has less than 20'-0"setback from public sidewalk.
2. Design Option#2 is possible if the existing utility/light pole and existing bus stop relocate to another
location. One side of the garage which is having difficulty meeting the 20'-0"setback could be located at
the northeast corner of the site. The separation of the garages cause inconsistent with other properties
in the vicinity. The final location of the utility/light pole and bus stop after relocation remains unclear. It
is required to relocate the utility/light pole to adjacent property to allow access to the site. There is
possible inconvenience to local community could result from Design Option#2.
3. Planning technician suggested utilizing the space at the existing garage to allow two(2)cars deep garage
to meet the required setback would require extensive soil excavation to lower the existing garage.
The additional soil excavation calculated of approximately 66 cubic yards could unstable the hill slope at
the back of the properties and causing land slide in the future.
4. The issue of hazard to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic had discussed and addressed during the pre-
application process. Structure(garage and living space above)originally designed for 5'-0"setback
revised to 14'-0"setback at corner. The revised clearance between public sidewalk and the garage door
which is closer to the property line is 15'-6",which according to automobile industry standard,is
sufficiency and safe for back-out distance for driver.
I concluded that the planning technician's suggestions could impose potential hazards and possible lawsuits in the
future. I am requesting an appeal for the above application. I have enclosed the$75.00 fee. Please forward other
specific requirements mentioned in the report to the project address stated above. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Ken Wong

C. Project Description/Background:
The applicant, Ken Wong, is requesting approval of an administrative variance from the
required front yard setback in the R-8 zone (section 4-2-110A). The subject site is located
at 412 Windsor Way NE. The site is bounded by NE 4th Street on the south and Windsor
Way NE on the north.
The development standards of the R-8 zone require a minimum front yard setback of 20
feet. The setback is measured from the property line to the closest point of the structure.
The applicant is proposing a reduction of this setback to 14 feet in order to construct a
2,677 square foot addition to the existing 1,297 square foot single family residence.
The proposal will maintain the existing structure's 47 foot rear yard setback as well as the
existing side yards of 5 feet on the west and 10 feet on the east. The proposed structure
will have a lot coverage by buildings of approximately 28%. The proposal meets the
required height, lot coverage, and rear and side yard setbacks of the R-8 zone
development standards.
The applicant contends that in order to construct an addition to the existing home, a
reduction of the front yard setback is necessary because of the lot's irregular shape and the
slope in the rear of the property. In addition, the location of the existing bus stop and light
pole in front of the northeast corner of the site as well as the limitation for access via NE 4th
Street preclude any alternative design of the structure.

REPORT AND DECISION OF MARCH 3, 1999 Page 3 of 5
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION
Having reviewed the written record in the matter, the City now makes and enters the
following:
D. Findings
1) Request: The Applicant, Ken Wong, has requested approval for an
administrative variance from the required front yard setback in the R-8 zone (section
4-2-110A) for the property located at 412 Windsor Way NE.
2) Administrative Variance: The applicant's administrative variance application
complies with the requirements for information for a variance. The applicant's site
plan and other project drawings are entered as Exhibits No. 1 thru 5.
3) Existing Land Use: Land uses surrounding the subject site include: North: single
family residential; South: church; East. Puget Power ROW, single family
residential; and West: single family residential.
4) CONSISTENCY WITH VARIANCE CRITERIA
Section 4-31-19F.3. lists 4 criteria that the Zoning Administrator is asked to consider,
along with all other relevant information, in making a decision on an Administrative
Variance application. These include the following:
The Zoning Administrator shall have authority to grant an administrative variance
upon making a determination, in writing, that the conditions specified below have
been found to exist:
a. That the applicant suffers undue hardship and the variance is necessary
because of special circumstances applicable to subject property, including
size, shape, topography, location or surroundings of the subject property,
and the strict application of the Zoning Code is found to deprive subject
property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by other property owners in
the vicinity and under identical zone classification:
The applicant contends that special circumstances apply to the subject site which
impose limitations on the area on which he can build an addition to his home. The
rear yard of the site is constrained by a steep slope leading up to NE 4th Street
and the front yard is cut at an angle due to the curve of Windsor Way NE.
However, there are a number of other properties in the vicinity that have these
characteristics in common with the subject site. Therefore, there are not any
special or unique circumstances which apply only to the subject property.
The applicant claims a new driveway at the northeast corner of the site would
allow for the design of the structure to meet code requirements, but is not possible
because of the existing utility pole located in front of the property. However, staff's
contact with Puget Sound Energy found that the relocation of the utility pole is a
strong possibility and would serve as a reasonable alternative if the redesign of the
structure were to fall within the code provisions. (The applicant would need to
obtain a cost estimate - includes labor and materials - from Puget Sound Energy.)
ADMVARD.DOC\
City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Variance Staff Report
WONG-LI VARIANCE LUA-99 001, V-A
REPORT AND DECISION OF MARCH 3, 1999 Page 4 of 5
Furthermore, the redesign of the addition to meet the required setback is entirely
possible by utilizing the buildable portions of the rear yard or possibly eliminating a
portion of the proposed garage. The R-8 code provisions allow a minimum front
yard of "15 feet for the primary structure and 20 feet for attached garages which
access from the front yard street(s) - (only) along streets created after September
1, 1995." The intent of the code provision as it applies to garages (e.g., adequate
parking room and backout distances for vehicles) does not allow for the reduction
of the setback for an attached garage accessed from the front yard.
b. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and
zone in which subject property is situated:
The granting of the variance would possibly result in direct materially detrimental
impacts to the public welfare. The front yard requirement of the R-8 development
standards is intended to provide a continuous setback fronting streets in
residential neighborhoods. Not only does the setback provide for an aesthetic
streetscape, but it also functions as a visual buffer between residences and the
public street. The reduction of this requirement would create a hazard to both
pedestrian and vehicular traffic due to the insufficient backout distance proposed.
Although there are existing garages within the required front yard setback, the
existence of unsafe conditions elsewhere in the neighborhood would not justify
creating additional potential hazards.
It may also be considered injurious to property improvements in the vicinity and
zone because it would allow for construction that differs from the standards that
generally apply to all properties in the R-8 zone. This would set a precedent and
create uncertainty about maintaining zoning standards which have been adopted
to protect and enhance residential neighborhoods.
c. That approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent
with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in
which the subject property is situated:
Approval of the variance may be considered a grant of special privilege because it
would provide an exception from a zoning standards that limits most properties
under the same zoning designation.
The applicant's submittal includes photographic documentation of adjacent
properties and their setbacks from Windsor Way NE. Although the adjacent
properties do have existing garages within the required setback, they pose
potential hazards to pedestrian and vehicular traffic and cannot justify the
construction of additional potential hazards.
d. That the approval as determined by the Zoning Administrator is a minimum
variance that will accomplish the desired purpose:
The approval of the proposal is not the minimum variance that will accomplish the
desired purpose of constructing an addition of the size proposed. It is possible to
redesign the structure to satisfy the code provision by either reducing the size of

WONG-LI VARIANCE LUA-99 001, V-A
REPORT AND DECISION OF MARCH 3, 1999 Page 5 of 5
the garage or utilizing the buildable area of the rear yard. The relocation of the
utility pole to allow for an alternative design of the structure is also an option.
E. Conclusions
1. The subject site is located at 412 Windsor Way NE, within the Residential - 8
Dwelling Units per Acre (R-8) zoning designation.
2. The R-8 zone requires a minimum 20 foot front yard setback from the street (section
4-2-110A). The applicant is proposing a reduction of this requirement to 14 feet.
3. The analysis of the proposal according to variance criteria is found in the body of the
Staff Report.
F. Decision
The Administrative Variance for the Wong-Li Variance, File No. LUA-99-001, V-A, is
denied.

Land Use Action Appeals
The administrative land use decision will become final if the decision is not appealed within 14 days of the date
of approval. An appeal of the decision must be filed within the 14 day appeal period (RCW 43.21.C.075(3);
WAC 197-11-680). An appeal to the Hearing Examiner is governed by Title IV, Section 4-8-11.B, which requires
that such appeals be filed directly with the Hearing Examiner. Appeals must be made in writing on or before
5:00 PM on March 17, 1999. Any appeal must be accompanied by a $75.00 fee and other specific
requirements.
THE APPEARANCE OF FAIRNESS DOCTRINE provides that no ex parte (private one-on-one)
communications may occur concerning the land use decision. The Doctrine applies not only to the initial
decision, but to Appeals to the Hearing Examiner as well. All communications after the decision/approval date
must be made in writing through the Hearing Examiner. All communications are public record and this permits
all interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the
evidence in writing. Any violation of this doctrine could result in the invalidation of the appeal by the Court.

Dear Ms.Nishihira:
Enclosed please find a complete submittal requirement,Justification for the Variance Request,for the above referenced
location.
The property is located at Windsor Way North East in Renton. The area of the site is approximately.14 acres or 6,313
square feets. The current use of the site is classified as Residential R-8,single family residence.
The purpose of this submittal is to request setback variance along the front property line,which is facing Windsor Way
Street, it is the only accessible side into this property from public street. The back(opposite)property line which is
facing N.E.4th Avenue is not accessible into the property because slope is very steep there. A proposed project of two
cars garage plus second story is designed to meet our need for expansion with all the considerations of the provisions
of zoning ordinances and regulations. Unfortunately,the limitation due to the topography,location of the existing
utility,public bus stop,and existing lot line configuration along Windsor Way Street unable us to build within the
required 20'-0"setback.
The lot coverage calculated at 28.3%(1,789 total square feet of building). The proposed front yard setback at the
corner of the primary structure,which is closest from property line, is approximately 14'0'. Potential hazard
condition in front of the new garage,which commented per pre-application has been addressed. Center of such garage
is relocated to allow clearance of approximately 15'-6"to the property line,and the rockery wall at front angled to
allow direct sightline for pedestrian. Please see attached plans for details.
Should you require any additional information regarding this matter,please contact(425)602-4939. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ken Wong Li Wan Li-Wong

RECEIVED
Following are outlined conditions of justification for the variance request
a. That the applicant suffers undue hardship and the variance is necessary because of special
Circumstances applicable to subject property, including size, shape, topography, and location or
Surroundings of the subject property; and the strict application of the Building& Zoning Code is
Found to deprive subject property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by other property owners
in the vicinity and under identical classification.
1. Steep slope along N.E. 4th Avenue unable to build and access from public street.
See photo attached.
2. Irregular configuration of the front property line. See plans attached.
b. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
Injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which subject property
is situated.
1. Existing bus stop can remain at its existing location. Proposed garage location will
prevent potential hazard condition to bus operation and their passengers. See
photo attached.
2. Existing light/utility pole can remain at its existing location. Relocating existing
light/utility pole to neighbor property to allow construction access is avoided for
potential lawsuit, inconvenience, and expenses to neighbor property. See photo
attached.
c. That approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
Limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject
property is situated.
1. Site constraints of access to site, property line configuration, and existing public
Improvements bring about a unique situation for this project site.
d. That the approval, as determined by the Hearing Examiner or Boad of Adjustment is a
Minimum variance that will accomplish the desired purpose.
Other alternative options considerated and found difficulties to accomplish are the
following:
1. City to grant permission for traffic access to site from N.E. 4`h Avenue to allow
Expansion builds at rear property.
2. Neighbor's permission to allow existing light/utility pole and bus stop locate to
Their property, so that expansion for garage and building along Windsor Way is
possible.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 12, 1998 `Op
•"O: Pre-Application File No. 98-86 CityFR jp 1,+; .
I=ROM: Lesley Nishihira, Assistant Planner, x7270 r�yy
>UBJECT: Wong/Li Variance
Ne have completed a preliminary review of the pre-application for the above-referenced
ievelopment proposal. The following comments on development and permitting issues are based on
he pre-application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant. The applicant is cautioned
hat information contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by
)fficial decision makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Zoning Administrator, Board of Adjustment, Board
)f Public Works, and City Council). Review comments may also need to be revised based on site
)tanning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. The applicant is
;ncouraged to review all applicable sections of the Renton Municipal Code.
I. General: The subject property is located at 412 Windsor Way NE. The proposal is to expand an
existing single family residence. The proposed structure will extend into the required 20 foot front
yard setback to approximately 5 feet on the ground floor and approximately 15 feet on the second
floor. An administrative variance is required.
2. Zoning/Development Standards: The subject site is zoned Residential at 8 dwelling units per
acre (R-8). The R-8 zone allows a maximum lot coverage by buildings of 35%. Building height is
restricted to 30 feet or 2 stories for primary structures.
the R-8 zone requires a 20 foot setback from property lines in the front and rear yards and a 5 foot
setback for sideyards. The setbacks are measured from the property lines to the nearest point of the
structure.
3. Administrative Setback Variance: The proposal requires an administrative setback variance in
3rder to reduce the required 20 foot setback to 5 feet for the first story and to 15 feet for the second
story. The burden would be on the applicant to show that:
a. That the applicant suffers undue hardship and the variance is necessary because of
special circumstances applicable to subject property, including size, shape,
topography, location or surrounding of the subject property, and the strict application
of the Zoning Code is found to deprive subject property owner of rights and privileged
enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical' zone
classification.
b. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which
subject property is situated.
PRE9886.DOC\
c. That approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent wit the
limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject
property is situated.
d. That the approval as determined by the Zoning Administrator is a minimum variance
that will accomplish the desired purpose.
It is likely that staff would be unable to support the requested variance. The reduction of the first floor
setback to 5 feet would create a hazard to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic especially due to the
location of the existing rockery. The backout distance for vehicles parking in the garage needs to be
at least fifteen feet. If the plans were redrawn to show the garage with tandem parking and the first
floor with the same setback as the second floor setback (approximately 15 feet), the variance would
be more likely to receive approval. Because the initial proposal would create an adverse situation
and because there are options to the proposal that would reduce potential hazards, staff would
recommend denial of the requested variance if made as a formal application.
4. Application Requirements: Once a complete application is received, an administrative variance
will take approximately 4 to 6 weeks to process. Attached is a list of the submittal requirements for
the application.
