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. There is an 8-inch water main in South 9th Street and a 4-inch water main in Renton Ave South. Available fire flow in Renton Ave is
less than 1,000 gpm. The proposed project is located in the 490 Water Pressure Zone and is outside an Aquifer Protection Zone. Static pressure in the area is approximately 80 psi. Pressure
reducing valves may be required to be installed on the domestic water meters.
2. To provide a minimum of 1,000 gpm to proposed Lots 1-5, applicant will be required to tie into an existing 8-inch water main located generally at the intersection of S. 9th Street
and Renton Avenue South, and extend an 8-inch main south in Renton Ave to S. 10th Street. A tie in to the 4-inch in S. 10th will be required. This will provide 1,250 gpm. If the new
homes will be 3,600 square feet, 1,500 gpm is required. Continuing the extension of an 8-inch main in S.10th Street to the east and tying into the 12-inch main in Grant Ave will provide
2,000 gpm. New hydrants will be required to be installed as part of the water main extension.
3. System development fee (SDC) for water is based on the size of the new domestic water meters that will serve the new homes on the new lots. The SDC fee is based on size for example
a ¾-inch water meter is $2,236.00. The SDC Fee for a 1-inch meter is $5,589.00. .
4. Fee for a ¾-inch meter installed by the City is $2,260.00. Fee for a 1-inch meter installed by the City is $2,430.00.
Sanitary Sewer

line of the site.
2. System development fee (SDC) for sewer is based on the size of the new domestic water to serve the new home on the new lot. The sewer SDC fee for a ¾- inch water meter is $1,591.00.
The SDC sewer fee for a 1-inch meter is $3,977.00.
