D_Heily Remodel_FINAL
Normal maintenance or repair of existing structures or developments, including damage by accident, fire or
elements. "Normal maintenance" includes those usual acts to prevent a decline, lapse, or cessation from a lawfully
established condition. "Normal repair" means to restore a development to a state comparable to its original
condition, including but not limited to its size, shape, configuration, location and external appearance, within a
reasonable period after decay or partial destruction, except where repair causes substantial adverse effects to
shoreline resource or environment. Replacement of a structure or development may be authorized as repair where
such replacement is the common method of repair for the type of structure or development and the replacement
structure or development is comparable to the original structure or development including but not limited to its
size, shape, configuration, location and external appearance and the replacement does not cause substantial
adverse effects to shoreline resources or environment.
Staff Comment: The proposed replacement of deck boards on the existing deck would qualify as maintenance and
repair of an existing single-family residence and would qualify as an Exemption from a Shoreline Substantial
Development Permit.
Construction on shorelands by an owner, lessee or contract purchaser of a single-family residence for their own use
or for the use of their family, which residence does not exceed a height of thirty-five feet above average grade level
and which meets all requirements of the state agency or local government having jurisdiction thereof, other than
requirements imposed pursuant to chapter 90.58 RCW. "Single-family residence" means a detached dwelling
designed for and occupied by one family including those structures and developments within a contiguous
ownership which are a normal appurtenance. An "appurtenance" is necessarily connected to the use and
enjoyment of a single-family residence and is located landward of the ordinary high water mark and the perimeter
of a wetland. On a statewide basis, normal appurtenances include a garage; deck; driveway; utilities; fences;
installation of a septic tank and drainfield and grading which does not exceed two hundred fifty cubic yards and
which does not involve placement of fill in any wetland or waterward of the ordinary high water mark. Local
circumstances may dictate additional interpretations of normal appurtenances which shall be set forth and
regulated within the applicable master program. Construction authorized under this exemption shall be located
landward of the ordinary high water mark.
Staff Comment: The proposed interior remodel and enclosure of the existing covered front porch/lanai would qualify
as an Exemption from a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit under the construction of a single-family
residence for the use of the owner or their family.
FINDINGS: The proposed development is:
i. Consistent with the policies of the Shoreline Management Act: and
ii. Consistent with the City of Renton Shoreline Master Program.
