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 fast food restaurant located at the southwest corner of NE 4th St and Duvall Ave NE all in Section 15, Township 23N, Range 5E. The following comments are based on the pre-application submittal made to the City of Renton by the applicant for a fast food restaurant. Water There is an existing 8” CI water main located in NE 4th St (see City of Renton water drawing W-0240 for detailed engineering plans) and an existing 8” water main in Duvall Ave NE (see City of Renton water drawing W-0943 for detailed engineering plans). This project is located in the Aquifer Protection Zone 2. Construction of a commercial building will trigger a separate review. Per the City of Renton Fire Marshal, the preliminary fire flow calculated for this site is 2,000 gpm. A minimum of two fire hydrants is required. Any new construction must have one fire hydrant capable of delivering a minimum of 1,000 GPM and shall be located within 150 feet of the front of the structure, and additional hydrants (also capable of delivering a minimum of 1,000 GPM) within 300 feet of the front of the structure. This distance is measured along the travel route. The number of additional hydrants required is dependent on the calculated fire flow of the new commercial building. Existing fire hydrants shall be retrofitted with a quick disconnect Stortz fitting. Per City records there is an existing ¾” water meter on the site. The proposed fast food would need to install a minimum 1” water meter with a RP in a “Hot Box”. The existing ¾” might be considered for use as the irrigation meter in which case you would need to add a DCVA at the meter. The Water System Development Charge fees are based on the total number and size of all water meters. These fees are collected at the time a construction permit is issued. Sanitary Sewer There is an existing 24” sanitary sewer main located in NE 4th St. This project will need to connect to the existing MH in the intersection of NE 4th St and Duvall Ave NE installing an inside drop connection. A commercial building permit will trigger a separate review. The applicant needs to show how this site will be served with commercial side sewer, with a minimum 6” diameter pipe. A fast food restaurant will be required to install a grease interceptor. There may be an abandoned septic tank and/or a drain field on this site which will need to be abandoned in accordance with the King County Health Dept. This site is located in the East Renton Special Assessment District (SAD 0002). This fee is $.0973 per square foot of the parcel of land and is required to be paid prior to issuance of a construction permit. System Development Charges (SDC) are based on any and all domestic water meters. These fees are collected at the time a construction permit is issued. Storm Drainage There are storm drainage facilities in NE 4th St and in Duvall Ave NE. 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. Your civil engineer will look in the Manual under Section 1.2.3.1 Area-Specific Flow Control Facility Requirement. This site is located, per the Flow Control Application Map, in the Flow Control Duration Standard (Forested Conditions). The Surface Water SDC fees are $0.405 per square foot of new impervious area. These fees are collected at the time a construction permit is issued. Street Improvements Per the NE 3rd/NE 4th St Corridor Plan the proposal needs to construct the typical street section matching the existing curb on NE 4th St. This will include two 11 foot travel lanes, a two way left hand turn lane and a 5’ bike lane adjacent to the new curb. The typical street section needs to show a five foot sidewalk adjacent to the new property line separated from the roadway curb with a planting strip including street trees on NE 4th St. Additional right-of-way will be required to achieve the above. Per City of Renton code property corners at intersection in commercial blocks all lot corners at intersections of dedicated public rights-of-way shall have a minimum radius of 25 feet. NE 4th is an arterial therefore the curb return needs be R = 35’ at the intersection of NE 4th St and Duvall Ave NE. The plans need to include the relocation of the traffic signal pole and controller located at NE 4th St & Duvall as a part of this development. The driveway access on NE 4th St needs to be right turn in and right turn out only due to the close proximity to the Duvall Ave NE intersection. Plan set needs to include the channelization plan (striping, buttons, arrows) on Duvall Ave NE. The typical road section for Duvall Ave NE is 20’ centerline to face of curb, and 5’ sidewalk adjacent to property line. A Traffic Study may be required. 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.
