I informed you that I participated in the proceedings for the DEBAR plat (Woodhaven neighborhood) That process required 28 feet of roadway width in the area of NE 28th Street that the Mangat short plat frontage abuts, with 8 feet of parking and 20 feet of unobstructable emergency vehicle access width. Unfortunately, the road was never widened in the area occupied by the large fir trees across the street and that the new homes proposed would undoubtably be parking right there across from that choke point. I have indicated to you that there may be different ways of solving the issue and hope this email will clarify my concern.

EXHIBIT 3 DocuSign Envelope ID: 161A4F20-D494-466C-B2E0-C93C3D6DC51E Comment LUAPRE21-000105 January 24, 2022 Brittany Gillia 1055 South Grady Way Renton, Washington 98056 RE: Comments pertaining to the posted site plan map 2732 Aberdeen Ave NE Mangat short plat Ms. Gillia, As we discussed during our telephone conversation, we enjoy the opportunity to comment on the Mangat short plat application. We are concerned that the improvements will impact our access to emergency services, our access to communication services and transportation amenities needed for our children that use the area impacted to walk to and from school, concerned about esthetic pleasing surroundings and property values including environmentally conscious implementation of water quality requirements. The following is a preliminary list of the topics discussed expected to be addressed 1. Improper signboard a. Posted too early according to code b. Posted behind cyclone fence at 45-degree angle violates public participation requirements c. The only way to read the sign is lean over the fence cellphone holding to photo the plan sheets. Requires trespassing to view posted materials 2. No utility plan is identified on face sheet that delineates underground communications franchises have been included a. Utility pole is located within turning radius b. No delineation of communication facilities c. At present, the branches are pushing down heavily on the overhead wiring d. They must execute a participation contract and bond and provide conduits for deferred underground utilities in order to modify undergrounding requirements e. The poles would be simple to remove if the franchises were really going to be undergrounded yet they are proposed to remain. It doesn’t make sense especially for the NW and SW poles 3. Inadequate emergency vehicle access a. Width is too narrow due to large fir trees located within existing right of way directly across the street from proposed frontage entrance. Pavement width of 23+/- feet along NE 28th street will not support parking plus emergency vehicle access at the same time. Perhaps no parking signs may be added along NE 28th at locations around the bottleneck b. Attempts to hide access width less than 20 feet that is required for emergency vehicles should not be allowed. The dimensions should be delineated on the site plan c. flawed dimensions to center point of turning radius should be labeled South End Gives Back A Washington non-profit Corporation Brad Nicholson, President 2823 Dayton Ave NE Renton, Washington 98056 brad827@hotmail.com (425)445-0658 EXHIBIT 3 DocuSign Envelope ID: 161A4F20-D494-466C-B2E0-C93C3D6DC51E Page 2 of 2 January 24, 2022 Mangat comment letter Brad Nicholson 4. Incompatible sidewalk design a. Does not match street properties that have deferred sidewalk improvements b. Design can never be connected in a line should be designed for compatibility with the street. There is no requirement for the 8 foot planting strip when the sidewalks will not connect. NE 28th does not utilize that type of sidewalks and that type is not a code requirement 5. Needed streetlights are not depicted on plan a. There is a need for street lighting of some kind over the sidewalk especially at the corner and entry ramp on NE 28th. When the utilities are undergrounded and pole is removed there will be a need for a new streetlight at the corner and along ne 28th street 6. Alley is improperly designed b. Posted site plan depicts improper request for driveway modification and improper delineation a. A specific reason why conformity is impractical cannot be supplied b. The shared driveway must be located within a tract according to code c. The shared driveway must have an 8 foot landscaping strip in between it and the property line 7. Storm water plan violates CWA a. Attempts to pipe stormwater to outfall as opposed to creating low impact development feature to infiltrate stormwater onsite 8. Existing home may be unsafe and is in need of code enforcement a. Chicken coop should not be located along Aberdeen Ave in secondary front yard setback b. Questions as to safety of patio conversion to living space could be addressed c. There is no need to keep the existing home in place as it would be uneconomical and according to the preliminary memorandum, it was originally proposed to be removed anyway. Please do not hesitate to contact me at the slightest need for clarification of any of these concerns Sincerely, Brad Nicholson 425 445 0658 EXHIBIT 3 DocuSign Envelope ID: 161A4F20-D494-466C-B2E0-C93C3D6DC51E CAUTION: This email originated from outside the City of Renton.

We would like to investigate feasibility of extending sidewalks south to NE 27th ST and east down NE 28th ST. There are lots of children in this neighborhood and there has been an increase in traffic safety issues in this neighborhood from additional traffic flow and delivery drivers. Please see incidents reported #15216, #11044533, #10462913 among others on the Renton Responds site. Additionally, what is the plan for utility lines? Preference is for them to be buried and no longer be overhead for this site and surrounding neighbors.

There are already issues here for emergency vehicle access and for the dozens of children that live in this neighborhood. NE 28th street is a direct conduit for children walking to the elementary school down the hill. There is a brief snapshot of some of these issues on the Renton Responds website (see issues 15216, 11044533 & 10462913). We would like to see this plan address/remediate these safety issues by including wide sidewalks, a jog in the road where the mature trees are to ensure a safe width, speedbumps, no parking signage where appropriate, and low speed signage. It is unclear to us if the utilities will be underground, but for the neighborhood aesthetic and for utility reliability that would be ideal. (Currently utilities are very unsightly, especially where a tree is leaning heavily on some of the utility wires) and they are subject to outages during storms due to the vast number of large trees in the area. It is also unclear if the current house will be updated as part of this plan, if the house is to remain, its safety should be reviewed, and it be brought up to current safety standards to benefit its inhabitants and for the neighborhood aesthetics. We would like to see the new sidewalk continued the rest of the way along Aberdeen and connect with the sidewalk on NE 27th for safer access to parks and schools. It doesn't make sense to have the sidewalk end and not connect one more house over, it will encourage people to skip the sidewalk entirely and walk in the street like in other areas with intermittent sidewalks. The 4-way stop sign currently at this properties' corner does not have a no-parking setback. We would like to see that remediated as part of these improvements so that the 4-way stop is visible to traffic and not blocked by parked vehicles. Thanks for reviewing our comments! We look forward to seeing this property EXHIBIT 3 DocuSign Envelope ID: 161A4F20-D494-466C-B2E0-C93C3D6DC51E developed so that it benefits both its occupants and the surrounding neighborhood!
