Memorandum
Date: January 10, 2022
To: City of Renton
From: Laurie J. Pfarr, PE
Project: Renton School District
Lindbergh High School Renovation and Addition
LPD Project No: 005-21-01
Subject: Civil Site Plan Review Documents
This memorandum is to provide context to why the drainage report will not be included with the civil
permit documents as a part of the overall Site Plan Review submittal to the City of Renton for the
proposed Lindbergh High School Renovation and Addition project.
Based upon the frontage coordination meeting on January 7, 2022, between the City of Renton, the
Renton School District, and the Lindbergh High School Design Team, LPD Engineering is revising the
frontage improvements per the updated City requests and re-designing drainage improvements to meet
stormwater mitigation requirements for both on- and off-site development for the project. Since the site
improvements did not independently require stormwater flow control mitigation and it was not until the
additional requirements of the frontage that flow control mitigation was triggered.
As part of this meeting and due to ongoing coordination and modification of the desired frontage
improvements, Michael Sippo, Civil Engineer III with the City of Renton, indicated that the drainage
mitigation and subsequent drainage report would hold up or prevent the submittal of the Site Plan Review
documents.
It was our understanding that both the drainage report and fully engineered frontage plans would not be
required to be submitted with the overall Site Plan Review submittal and that the conceptual frontage
plans would be sufficient to keep the project moving through the Site Plan Review process.
As the project moves through the City’s Site Plan Review process, the Design team will obtain the
required additional survey information, meet with the arborist, and continue to design the frontage
improvements in accordance with the coordination with the City. Based the coordination with the City,
the continued design will confirm threshold basins, look at options to provide mitigation that does not
include formal detention, and develop the best stormwater strategy to move forward for both on and off-
site mitigation. The project will meet the stormwater mitigation requirements resulting from both the on-
site improvements and frontage improvements in the right-of-way in accordance with the City of Renton
adopted the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the City’s 2017 Surface
Water Design Manual amendment (RSWDM).
