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 for the northwest corner of the intersection of S. 4th St and Smithers Ave S. in Section 18, Township 23N, Range 5E, which proposes a to subdivide the parcel into three separate tax lots. The following comments are based on the pre-application submittal made to the City of Renton by the applicant for a short plat. Water This site is located in the City of Renton Water service area. It is located in the 196 Water Pressure Zone. It is not located in the Aquifer Protection Zone. There is an existing 6” CI water main located in S. 4th St. See City of Renton water drawing W1156 for detailed plans. There is an existing 12” CI water main located in Morris Ave S. See City of Renton water drawing W0596 for detailed plans. There is an existing 8” DI water main located in Houser Way S. See City of Renton water drawing W2960 for detailed plans. Separation of the existing water meter so that it only serves one lot will be required. Construction of a commercial building will trigger a separate review. The Renton Fire Department does not have any comments on this proposed project. System Development Charges for water are based on the size of any and all water meters. These fees are collected at the time the construction permit is issued. Sanitary Sewer There is an existing 8” sanitary sewer main located in S. 4th St. There is an existing 8”sanitary sewer in the alley east of Smithers Ave S. There is an 8”existing sanitary sewer in the alley between Morris Ave S. and Smithers Ave S. The short plat will be required to separate the dual side sewer. Installation of separate new side sewers from the main onto each individual lot, so each lot will have its own existing sewer service from the main onto each individual lot, is required. A commercial building permit will trigger a separate review. System Development Charges for sanitary sewer are based on the size of any and all domestic water meters. These fees are collected at the time the construction permit is issued. Storm Drainage There are storm drainage facilities in Burnett Ave S., S. 4th St, and S. 5th St. A commercial building permit will trigger a separate review. A conceptual drainage plan and report is required to be submitted with the formal application for a commercial project. The project shall comply with the City of Renton Amendments to the 2009 King County Surface Water Design. The project will be required to pay the Surface Water System Development Charges of $.405 per square foot of new impervious area, but not less than $1012.00. This fee is collected prior to the issuance of the construction permit. Street Improvements Per City of Renton code, street improvements to include curb, gutter, and sidewalk are required to be installed prior to recording the short plat. In the downtown area, these improvements are 12’ from face of curb to the back of sidewalk (no planter). Additional right-of-way will be required to be dedicated. General Comments All required utility, drainage, and street improvements will require separate plan submittals prepared according to City of Renton drafting standards by a licensed Civil Engineer. All plans shall be tied to a minimum of two of the City of Renton Horizontal and Vertical Control Network. Permit application must include an itemized cost estimate for these improvements. Half of the fee must be paid upon application for building and construction permits, and the remainder when the permits are issued. There will be additional fees for water service related expenses.
