RE: Project Number: LUA21-00237 – 3307 Mountain View Ave N, Renton, WA
Dear Ms. Ding,
King County Parks would like to take this opportunity to respond to the Notice of Application
for the above referenced project number. The application is requesting a setback variance from
the east property which would range from zero feet to 3 feet 9 inches. The applicant recently
submitted plans to King County in support of a Special Use Permit and upon review, King
County has concluded that it cannot issue the permit due to the proximity of the proposed single-
family residence to the Eastrail. The location of the new residence is at a zero-side yard property
line which interferes with the future development of the Eastrail. Also, any maintenance of the
residence at the zero-side yard will consistently require access onto King County property.
Therefore, King County cannot support the issuance of a Special Use Permit for this residence as
designed nor will it support the reduction of the city required land use setbacks to zero lot lines
and we would also ask that the City uphold the zoning setback requirements.
King County and our other current easement holders anticipate the need to use the full width of
our 30-foot-wide rail corridor at this location in our future development of the Eastrail project. If
you have any questions, please contact Patty Ruiz via email at paruiz@kingcounty.gov our Real
Property Agent on Eastrail.
Thank you,
Frank D. Overton
