NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PROPOSED DETERMINATION OF
NON-SIGNIFICANCE-MITIGATED (DNS-M)
A Master Application has been filed and accepted with the Department of Community & Economic Development
(CED) – Planning Division of the City of Renton. The following briefly describes the application and the necessary
Public Approvals.
DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: January 26, 2015
LAND USE NUMBER: LUA15-000026, ECF, SHPL-A, MOD
PROJECT NAME: Vuecrest II Short Plat
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting approval of an 8-lot short plat of 4909 Main Ave S
(APN 3223059097) totaling 106,680 square feet (2.45 acres) for the future development of 8 single-family houses. The
subject property is located near the intersection of Main Ave S (102nd Ave SE) and SE 186th St within the Residential-8
dwelling units per acre (R-8) zone. The proposed lots range in size from 7,678 to 17,789 square feet in area with an
average lot size of 9,124 square feet. The site will also contain a single critical area tract (Tract A) that is 8,404 square
feet. The residential density is 4.35 dwelling units per net acre. Access to the site is from 102nd Ave SE from SE 192nd St.
The proposed roadway will be extended to the west property line for future extension by the proposed Plat of Vuecrest
Estates (LUA13-000642). Half street frontage improvements will be completed along Main Ave S and along the proposed
Road A (primarily located along the north boundary line). The applicant is also requesting a modification from street
improvements in an effort to provide secondary access for the adjacent plat to the west, provide additional on-street
parking, and preserve existing trees. The site includes a 0.19 acre of onsite critical area (Category 2 wetland), in the
northwest corner of the property, requiring a 50-foot buffer. The applicant is proposing to retain 11 of the 117 onsite
trees. The existing single-family home and associated building will be removed. The project development will utilize and
extend existing public utilities through the site along with storm drainage and dry utilities. Sewer will be extended from
the Plat of Vuecrest Estates. Stormwater runoff will be conveyed off-site to the drainage facility for Vuecrest Estates.
Approximately 2.05 acres will be cleared with 7,600 cubic yards of structural soil will be cut for grading the roads and
lots. The applicant has submitted a Critical Areas Study, Tree Protection Plan, Geotechnical Engineering Study, and a
Preliminary Technical Information Report with the application.
PROJECT LOCATION: 4909 Main Ave S (APN 3223059097)
