a. The site is located in the May Creek drainage basin and Lower May Creek
Drainage sub-basin.
b. The applicant notes in the preliminary TIR that the site is not located within a
flow control standard area, however, based on the City’s flow control map, this
site falls within the Duration Flow Control Standard (Forested Conditions). The
applicant shall demonstrate in the final drainage plans and report how flow -
control is being met, which may require construction of a flow control facility in
accordance to the 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual.
c. The site also falls within Zone 2 of the Aquifer Protection Area (APA), and
therefore open facilities and open conveyance systems may require a liner in
accordance with the design criteria in Sections 6.2.4 and 1.2.3.3 of the 2017 City
of Renton Surface Water Design Manual. Applicant shall demonstrate in the
final drainage plans if facility liners are required based final design of flow
control, water quality and conveyance facilities.
d. A final drainage plan and drainage report shall be submitted with the utility
construction permit application clearly demonstrating how all 9 Core and 6
special requirements are being met.
2. The site topography slopes moderately from the west to east with the steeper topography
near the rear of the site on at the west property line and a gentler slope near the front of
the lot facing Aberdeen Ave NE.
a. The preliminary drainage plans and report indicate that the site will be served
by direct downspout connections from the proposed residences to the
conveyance system located in Aberdeen Ave NE and a bioretention planter
located near the site’s north property line that serves the driveway and yards.
b. The applicant notes in the preliminary TIR that the site is not located within a
flow control standard area, however, based on the City’s flow control map, this
site falls within the Duration Flow Control Standard (Forested Conditions). The
applicant shall demonstrate in the final drainage plans and report how flow -
control is being met, which may require construction of a flow control facility in
accordance to the 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual.
c. Any proposed detention and/or water quality vault shall be designed in
accordance with the RSWDM that is current at the time of civil construction
permit application. Separate structural plans will be required to be submitted

shall relocate the existing storm drainage main into the proposed curb flow line
and provide direct connections to the 24” trunk main located in the center of
Aberdeen Ave NE.
d. Catch basins shall be placed at the north and south terminus of the frontage
improvements to collect flows from Aberdeen Ave NE and the gutter line.
4. If the new plus replaced pollution generating impervious surface exceeds 5,000 SF, the
applicant will be required to provide basic water quality treatment.
a. The preliminary drainage plans and report indicate that the project does not
propose greater than 5,000 sf of pollution generating impervious surface,
therefore, water quality treatment is not required.
b. If the final plans and site layout provide additional pollution generating
impervious surfaces based on home and driveway layouts, water quality may
be required.
5. On-site BMPs satisfying Core Requirement #9 will be required for the site to the maximum
extent feasible. On-site BMPs shall be evaluated as described in Section C.1.3 of the 2017
RSWDM. Appropriate flow control BMPs will be required to help mitigate the new runoff

flow control BMPs, was be included with the land use application, as applicable to the
project. The final drainage plan and drainage report must be submitted with the utility
construction permit application.
a. The preliminary drainage plans and report indicate that the Core Requirement
#9 will be addressed via perforated roof downspout methods and bioretention.
b. Since the proposed roofs do not demonstrate compliance with Core
Requirements #9, further review of the BMP selection criteria is required during
the Civil Construction Permit Application to ensure that Core Requirement #9 is
addressed in full. Additional BMP measures in conjunction with flow control
requirements will likely be required.
c. A geotechnical report for the site was submitted with the land use application
and provided information concerning the soils, geology, drainage patterns,
vegetation present, water table and soil permeability, with recommendations
of appropriate on-site BMP options with typical designs for the site from the
geotechnical engineer. The geotech report included on-site infiltration tests
indicating that the western portions of the subject site may be suitable for
infiltration. The eastern portion of the site contains undocumented fill soils that
will not likely be conducive to infiltration.
6. Any new storm conveyance installed on or off-site shall be designed and sized in
accordance with standards found in Chapter 4 of the 2017 RSWDM. New storm drains
should be sized to accommodate future runoff of all upstream tributary area.
a. The site falls within Zone 2 of the Aquifer Protection Area (APA), and therefore
open facilities and open conveyance systems may require a liner in accordance
with the design criteria in Sections 6.2.4 and 1.2.3.3 of the 2017 City of Renton
