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
Water service provider will be Soos Creek Water and Sewer District. A water availability certificate will be required to be submitted to the city.
Sanitary Sewer
Sewer service will be provided by Soos Creek Water and Sewer District. A sewer availability certificate will be required to be submitted to the city.
Storm Drainage
1. There are no drainage improvements in 109th Ave SE. It appears there is a ditch in 116th Ave SE.
2. 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 any one of these thresholds, a drainage plan and drainage report will
be required with the site plan application. The report shall comply with Appendix C of the 2009 King County Surface Water Manual and the City of Renton Amendments to the KCSWM, Chapters
1 and 2. Based on the city’s flow control map, this site falls within the Peak Rate Control Standard, Forested Conditions.
3. A geotechnical report for the site is required. Information on the water table and soil permeability, with recommendations of appropriate flow control BMP options with typical designs
for the site from the geotechnical engineer, shall be submitted with the application.
4. The Surface Water System Development fee is $1,012 per new lot. This is payable prior to issuance of the construction permit. Credit is given for the existing home.
Transportation/Street
1. Existing right-of-way width in 116th Ave SE is 60 feet. This street has been identified as a minor arterial. To meet the city’s new complete street standards, street improvements
including 22 feet of paving from centerline (including a 5-foot bike lane), curb and gutter, 8-foot planter strip, 8-foot sidewalk, and storm drainage improvements are required to
be constructed in the right-of-way fronting the site, per City code 4-6-060. To build this street section, 8 feet of right-of-way will be required to be dedicated to the city. SE
162nd is classified as a residential access road. Street improvements fronting the site in SE 162nd will require a minimum of 20 feet of paving, curb and gutter, 8-foot planter strip,
5-foot sidewalk, and storm drainage improvements. No dedication of right-of-way is required for these improvements. Applicant may submit an application to the city requesting to waive
construction of the street frontage improvements since there are no existing street improvements in the area.
2. Per City of Renton code, corner lots will be required to dedicate a minimum fifteen feet (15’) turning radius for the intersection.
3. If this project triggers SEPA review, traffic mitigation fees of $717.75 per new single family residence shall be assessed. Credit will be given to the existing residence. Even
if SEPA review does not trigger a traffic mitigation fee, any additional lot may be subject to a traffic impact fee if adopted by the City of Renton.
General Comments
1. All construction utility permits for drainage and street improvements will require separate plan submittals. All utility plans shall conform to the Renton Drafting Standards. Plans
shall be prepared by a licensed Civil Engineer.
When the utility plans are complete, please submit three (3) copies of the drawings, two (2) copies of the drainage report, permit application, and an itemized cost of construction estimate
and application fee at the counter on the sixth floor.
