SUBJECT: Request for Extension Sumpter Short Plat (LUA19-000091)
Dear Ms. Halvorsen,
This office has reviewed your request (November 30, 2021) to extend an approved short plat (File No.
LUA19-000091) for a period of one (1) year. The preliminary Sumpter Short Plat was approved on July 1,
2019 and was valid for two (2) years. On April 20, 2020, the Renton City Council adopted an ordinance
(Ordinance No. 5968) that temporarily extended the validity of certain permits for a period of six (6)
months due to on-going construction challenges created by the COVID-19 outbreak. Pursuant to RMC 4-
7-070M, the Municipal Code allows the original approving body to issue a single extension of up to one
(1) year to an applicant who files a written request with the Administrator at least thirty (30) days before
the expiration of preliminary short plat approval, provided the Administrator finds that the applicant has
obtained issuance of a construction permit and has made sustained progress towards final construction,
engineering, and surveying necessary to record a final plat. Your request meets requirements of Renton
Municipal Code and qualifies for a one-time extension of one (1) year, as an extension request was
submitted more than 30 days prior to the expiration of the preliminary short plat approval, the
Construction Permit has been issued and the applicant has made sustained progress towards final
construction necessary for the recording of the final short plat. Therefore, your one (1)-year short plat
extension request is approved.
The one (1)-year extension shall be measured using the expiration date of the preliminary short plat
approval after issuance of the temporary six (6)-month extension (January 3, 2023) in order to ensure
consistency with the extensions granted to other projects under the emergency ordinance. Please note
that all construction must be completed or deferred and the final plat be recorded in accordance with
City Code prior to the last day of the extension period (January 3, 2023). In addition, please note that no
additional extensions will be granted.
