PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting approval of an administrative variance from the
provisions of the Renton Municipal Code (RMC) regulating maximum fence height located within the Residential-8 (R-8)
zoning district (RMC 4-4-040.D). The subject property is approximately 50.4 acres in size and is located at 2400 S Puget
Dr (APNs 2023059066 and 2023059003) in the Benson Community Planning Area. The purpose of the variance is to allow
to applicant to replace the existing eight-foot (8’) tall security fence around the Talbot Hill Substation with a taller fence
of varying height as part of a security upgrade project. The maximum fence height allowed in any residential zone is
seventy-two inches (72"). To meet national physical security standards, the proposed replacement perimeter fence
would include a 10-foot tall fence along the north and west side, a 10-foot to 12-foot tall fence on the south side, and a
10-foot to 20-foot tall fence along the east side of the substation. Access to the substation is provided via a gravel
roadway from Puget Dr SE. The proposed project would be coordinated with other planned outages on PSE’s electric
system and work is anticipated to begin in 2022. There would be no tree removal associated with the fence replacement.
According to City of Renton (COR) Maps, the site contains moderate coalmine hazards and moderate landslide hazards.
