PRE 12-000170 NOTE: The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary is preliminary and non- binding and may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official city decision-makers. Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. I have completed a preliminary review for the above-referenced proposal. The following comments are based on the pre-application submittal made to the City of Renton by the applicant. Water 1. Water service is provided by the City of Renton. The home is currently being served water by a ¾” water meter. If the home requires a larger meter due to the expansion, a system development fee for water will be owed based on the size of the new domestic water meter. Credit will be given for the existing meter. Fee for a 1-inch water meter is $2,523.00. SDC fee would be approximately $300.00. 2. Fee for a 1-inch meter installed by the city is $2,870.00. Sanitary Sewer Sewer service is provided by the City of Renton. The home is currently connected to sewer. If the meter size increases, a system development fee for sewer will be owed based on the size of the new domestic water. Sewer fee for a ¾- inch water meter install is $1,591.00. Sewer fee for a 1-inch water meter install is $2,236.00. SDC fee would be approximately $650.00. Storm Drainage Small project drainage review is required for any single-family residential project that will result in 2,000 square feet or more of new impervious surface, replaced impervious surface, new plus replaced impervious surface, or 7,000 square feet of land disturbing activity. If the project exceeds one of these thresholds, a drainage plan and drainage narrative will be required with the building permit application, in accordance with Appendix C of the 2009 King County Surface Water Manual. Storm fee is based on a rate of $0.405 times the new square footage exceeding 500 square feet. Maximum fee is $1,120.00. h:\ced\planning\current planning\preapps\12-000170.jerry\pre12-000170, tager setback variances, r-8.doc DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE:December 13, 2012 TO:Pre-application File No. 12-088 FROM:Gerald Wasser, Associate Planner SUBJECT:Tager Rear & Side Setback Variances General: We have completed a preliminary review of the pre-application for the above- referenced development proposal. The following comments on development and permitting issues are based on the pre-application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant and the codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official decision-makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Community & Economic Development Administrator, Public Works Administrator, Planning Director, Development Services Director, and City Council). Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. The applicant is encouraged to review all applicable sections of the Renton Municipal Code. The Development Regulations are available for purchase for $100.00 plus tax, from the Finance Division on the first floor of City Hall or online at www.rentonwa.gov Project Proposal: The subject property is located at 3632 Lake Washington Boulevard North (APN 3342700370). The project site slopes downward from east to west. The property is zoned Residential – 8 dwelling units per acre and is 10,222 square feet (0.24 acre) in size. The applicant is proposing to add a second story and a new attached garage to the existing one story, 2,020 square foot single-family residence. The applicant’s submittal on November 26, 2012 indicated that the proposal would encroach into the rear and side yard setbacks. Subsequently, on December 6, 2012, the applicant submitted a revised site plan which indicates an encroachment only into the rear yard setback. Vehicular access to the subject property would remain via an existing driveway from North 37th Street. Note: The information presented below is based on the materials submitted on December 6, 2012. Current Use: The property is developed with a 2,020 square foot single-family house (to be retained). Zoning: The subject property is zoned Residential-8 dwelling units per acre (R-8). Tager Setback Variances, PRE12-0000170 Page 2 of 3 December 13, 2012 h:\ced\planning\current planning\preapps\12-000170.jerry\pre12-000170, tager setback variances, r- 8.doc Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, “Development Standards for Single Family Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application. Building Standards – The R-8 zone allows a maximum building coverage of 35% of the lot area or 2,500 square feet, whichever is greater for lots over 5,000 square feet in size. The maximum impervious coverage in the R-8 zone is 75%. Building height is restricted to 30 feet. Detached accessory structures must remain below a height of 15 feet and one-story. Accessory structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations. Compliance with building standards will be determined at the time of building permit review for any new structures. Conformance with these development standards will be verified at the time of building permit review. Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the property line. The required setbacks in Zone R-8 are: Front yard – 15 feet for the primary structure. The submitted site plan indicates conformance with this standard. Rear yard – 20 feet. The existing single-family residence encroaches into the rear yard setback by 14 feet and is considered a legal nonconforming structure. The submitted second story floor plan indicates that a deck would be installed over the portion of the existing residence which encroaches into the rear yard setback by 14 feet; this would create a greater nonconformity and would require an approved rear yard setback variance. Side yards – 5-feet, except 15-feet for side yards along a street or access easement. The submitted site plan indicates conformance with this standard. Residential Design and Open Space Standards: Please note that RMC 4-2-115B.2 states that additions and/or expansions to detached or attached dwellings that are 50% or greater of the most recent assessment or appraisal shall require that the entire dwelling or structure comply with the Residential Design Standards. A handout indicating the applicable guidelines and standards is enclosed. Conformance with the Residential Design Standards will be verified at the time of building permit review. Access/Parking: The submitted site plan indicates that vehicular access would be via the existing driveway from North 37th Street. Two off street parking spaces are required for each proposed lot. Critical Areas: No critical areas are located on the project site. Environmental Review: The proposed project is categorically exempt from Environmental (SEPA) Review. Permit Requirements: The proposal would require an approved Administrative Variance for less than the required rear yard setback. The fee for an Administrative Variance request is $1,236.00 ($1,200.00 plus 3% Technology Surcharge Fee). The review of the Administrative Variance would be completed in an estimated timeframe of six to eight Tager Setback Variances, PRE12-0000170 Page 3 of 3 December 13, 2012 h:\ced\planning\current planning\preapps\12-000170.jerry\pre12-000170, tager setback variances, r- 8.doc weeks. If the proposed deck over the rear portion of the existing structure is deleted from the proposal, no land use actions would be required. Fees: Building and construction permit fees would be required. Expiration: An Administrative Variance is valid for two years from the date of approval with a possible one year extension.
