SUBJECT: "On Hold" Notice
Palermo Short Plat / LUA22-000230, SHPL-A
Dear Mr. Korve:
The Planning Division of the City of Renton accepted the above master application for review on June 23, 2022.
During our review, staff has determined that additional information is necessary in order to proceed further.
The following will need to be corrected and submitted before October 7, 2022 so that we may continue the review
of the above subject application:
1. There are trees proposed to be retained on Lot 1 that do not count towards the lot’s minimum tree
density.Therefore a tree tract would be required. There appear to be a large quantity of trees that may
be viable for retention along the south portion of the property. Staff recommends that the applicant look
into retaining a significant portion of these trees within a tree tract. If a tree tract were located along the
south portion of the project site, Lot 1 would no longer be considered a corner lot and would not be
subject to the corner lot standards, in addition the retained trees would provide a buffer between the
proposed lots and the public right-of-way.
2. Please see the attached memo from Nathan Janders, dated July 7, 2022 with comments to be addressed.
At this time, the review of your project has been placed “on hold” pending receipt of the corrected plans and
reports addressing the above comments. Please contact me at (425) 430-6598 or jding@rentonwa.gov if you have
any questions.
Sincerely,
Jill Ding

SUBJECT:Palmero Short Plat
12727 SE Petrovitsky Road
LUA22-000230
I have reviewed the application for the Palmero Short Plat project located at 12727 SE Petrovitsky Road
and have the following comments:
The following comments represent additional information or corrections that are required to be made:
1. The preliminary TIR dated April 20, 2022 concludes that the project is exempt from core
requirement #3 as the project meets the exemption criteria outlined in section 1.2.3.1.B for a 0.15
CFS increase. However, the modeling used to support the exemption did not model the target
surfaces being treated with BMP’s in accordance with table 1.2.9.A of the 2017 Renton Surface
Water Design Manual (RSWDM). Note, see comment 1 and 2 in the section below regarding
vesting regulations.
a.The TIR WWHM model shall be updated accordingly such that the target surfaces for
which BMP’s credits are being applied are modeled as defined in table 1.2.9.A.
Additional updates to the TIR and possibly the site plan will be required if modeling
shows that the project is not exempt from core requirement #3.
2. The conceptual utility plans show street improvements and a dedication along SE 192nd St. The
existing property line serves as the City limits between Renton and Kent. As such SE 192nd St is
within the City of Kent’s ROW and improvements are deferred to the design requirement of Kent.
The City limits will not change and that portion that is dedicated will become City of Renton ROW.
The street section shall comply with the City of Kent design standards, however, those
improvements within the future City of Renton ROW shall comply with the City of Renton
construction standards.
a.The applicant shall provide written confirmation from the City of Kent confirming the
required street section along SE 192nd St. Confirmation should also include if street
lighting is required.

The following comments represent additional information or corrections that should be made when
considering site layout:
1. The preliminary TIR dated April 20, 2022 uses forms from the 2016 King County Surface Water
Design Manual and refers to the King County manual in multiple locations. The project shall
comply with the City of Renton Surface Water Design manual that is current at the time of
construction permit application unless otherwise vested (see comment 2 for more information).
a.The TIR should be updated to use the forms found within the City of Renton surface
water design manual and remove references to the King County Surface Water Design
Manual. Staff recommends that the applicant verify compliance with the RSWDM
2. As of April 22, 2022 the City of Renton adopted an updated surface water design manual. Per the
vesting regulations defined in RMC 4-1-045, a project may vest to the stormwater regulations
current at the time of land use application if a complete construction permit application is
submitted within 180 calendar days of a complete preliminary short plat application. Given that
the preliminary short plat application was made on April 17, 2022, the project may be vested to
the 2017 RSWDM provided the forth mentioned conditions are met; otherwise, the project shall
comply with the 2022 RSWDM. Of note the 2022 RSWDM removed the BMP credits. The applicant
may voluntarily elect to comply with the 2022 RSWDM if desired.
3. The conceptual construction plans show street improvements along 120th Ave SE consistent with
the minimum standards for a Residential Access street (as taken from the ROW centerline, a 13-
foot paved road, a 0.5-foot curb, an 8-foot planting strip, a 5-foot sidewalk, street trees and storm
drainage). These improvements place the face of curb at 17 feet from the property line. However,
there is an established curbline fronting the parcel immediately to the north for which the face of
curb is set 14 feet from the property line (per record project file TED04045). The existing curbline
shall be maintained such that the street section, as taken from the ROW centerline, consists of a
16-foot paved road, a 0.5-foot sidewalk, an 8-foot planting strip, a 5-foot sidewalk, street trees
and storm drainage. No dedication is anticipated for the above listed improvements.
a.The conceptual utility plans should be updated to reflect the above listed improvements.
