TO: Pre-Application File No. 22-000311
FROM: Brittany Gillia, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: KLN Estates / Rogers 2-lot Short Plat
14131 160th Ave SE (APN 1423059078)
General: We have completed a preliminary review of the pre-application for the above-
referenced development proposal. The following comments on development and permitting
issues are based on the pre-application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant
and the codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant is cautioned that information
contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official decision-
makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Community & Economic Development Administrator, Public
Works Administrator, Planning Director, and City Council). 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. The applicant is encouraged to review all applicable sections of the Renton Municipal
Code. The Development Regulations are available online at www.rentonwa.gov.
Project Proposal: The subject property is located at 14131 160th Ave SE (APN 1423059078). The
applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing 21,120 square foot (0.48 acre) site into two (2)
lots and a 20’ access tract. The property has a Comprehensive Land Use designation of Residential
Low Density (RLD) and is located within the Residential-4 (R-4) zone. Access to both lots is
proposed via a new tract running east-west through the center of the project and connecting to
160th Ave SE. No trees are identified on the proposed materials. There are no critical areas
mapped on the project site.
Current Use: The parcel is currently occupied with a single-family home.
Zoning/Density Requirements/Land Use: The subject property is located within the Residential-
4 (R-4) zoning classification. The density range allowed in the R-4 zone is a maximum of 4 dwelling
units per net acre with no minimum. The Residential Low Density Land Use designation is intended
to implement the R-4 zone. The R-4 zone is established to promote urban detached dwellings
serviceable by urban utilities and containing open space amenities. Development within the R-4
zone is intended to be an intermediate lower density residential zone. Detached dwelling units
are a permitted use within the R-4 zone.
Density: The area of public rights-of-way, legally recorded private access easements and critical
areas (i.e. very high landslide hazard areas, protected slopes (except evaluate on a case-by-case
bases those protected slopes created by previous development, wetlands, Class 1 to 4 streams
and lakes or floodways) would be deducted from the gross site area to determine the “net” site
area prior to calculating density. In order to calculate the proposed density of the project, any
area of public road, private driveway/easement, and/or critical area dedication must be known.
KLN Estates/Rogers 2-lot Short Plat
Page 2 of 7
September 22, 2022
All fractions which result from net density calculations shall be truncated at two (2) numbers past
the decimal (e.g., 4.5678 becomes 4.56). Calculations for minimum or maximum density that
result in a fraction that is 0.50 or greater shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. Those
density calculations resulting in a fraction that is less than 0.50 shall be rounded down to the
nearest whole number. Based on the approximate gross land area of 0.48 acres, the two (2) lot
proposal arrives at a gross density of approximately 4.2 du/ac (2 lots / 0.48 gross acres = 4.2
du/ac). A completed density worksheet would be required with the land use application. The
applicant would be required to demonstrate compliance with the net density requirements of
the zone at the time of short plat application.
Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, “Development
Standards for Residential Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application
(noted as “R-4 standards” herein).
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The minimum lot size permitted in the R-4 zone is 9,000
square feet for parcels being subdivided. Minimum lot width is 70 feet and 80 feet for corner lots;
minimum lot depth is 100 feet. For short plats of parcels smaller than one acre, one parcel may
be allowed to be smaller than the required minimum lot size. If all other parcels meet the required
minimum lot size standard of the R-4 zone, one parcel may be allowed to have a reduced
minimum lot size of eight thousand (8,000) square feet.
Submitted plans would need to show compliance with the required lot size and dimensional
standard with the short plat land use application.
Building Standards – The R-4 standards allow a maximum building coverage of 35% of the lot area.
The maximum impervious coverage in the R-4 zone is 50%. The maximum wall plate height is
restricted to 32 feet, and the buildings shall be not more than three stories. Roofs with a pitch
equal to or greater than 4:12 may project an additional six (6) vertical feet from the maximum
wall plate height; common rooftop features, such as chimneys, may project an additional four (4)
vertical feet from the roof surface. Non-exempt vertical projections (e.g., decks, railings, etc.) shall
not extend above the maximum wall plate height unless the projection is stepped back one-and-
a-half (1.5) horizontal feet from each façade for each one (1) vertical foot above the maximum
wall plate height. The maximum wall plate height for detached accessory structures is 12 feet and
the total floor area must be less than that of the primary structure. Accessory structures are also
included in building lot coverage calculations. New detached dwellings would need to comply
with the maximum building coverage, impervious surface requirements, and building height
regulations of the zone at the time of building permit review.
Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the
property line. The required setbacks for the R-4 zone are: Front yard: 30 feet for the primary
structure; Rear yard: 25 feet; Side yards: combined 20 feet with not less than 7.5 feet on either
side; and secondary front yards: 30 feet. When a lot abuts an alley, the rear yard shall always be
the yard abutting the alley. Compliance with required setbacks for the new detached dwellings
would be verified at the time of building permit application.
Access/Parking: Access to both lots is proposed via SE 8th St, a private access tract, stemming off
160th Ave SE. Each lot is required to accommodate off street parking for a minimum of two (2)
vehicles. The maximum width of single loaded garage driveways shall not exceed nine feet (9’)
and double loaded garage driveways shall not exceed 16 feet. Maximum driveway slopes shall not
exceed fifteen percent (15%); provided, that driveways exceeding eight percent (8%) shall provide
KLN Estates/Rogers 2-lot Short Plat
Page 3 of 7
September 22, 2022
slotted drains at the lower end with positive drainage discharge to restrict runoff from entering
the garage/residence or entering public or private streets, alleys, sidewalks, and/or pedestrian
pathways (CI-151). Detached dwellings are required to provide a minimum of two (2) parking
spaces per dwelling unit. Driveways shall not be closer than five feet (5’) to any property line
except as allowed per RMC 4-4-080 I.9 Joint Use Driveways.
The proposed access tract on the south end of the project would not meet requirements as
shown. Dedication and half street improvements would be required for SE 8th St if it would be
used for access. A shared driveway would not be allowed. The preliminary short plat proposal
would need to comply with the City’s Complete Street Standards.
Landscaping: With the exception of critical areas, all portions of the development area not
covered by structures, required parking, access, circulation or service areas, must be landscaped
with native, drought-resistant vegetative cover. The minimum on-site landscape width required
along street frontages is 10 feet and shall contain trees, shrubs, and landscaping. Street trees in
the ROW planter would also be required. Landscaping may include hardscape such as decorative
paving, rock outcroppings, fountains, plant containers, etc. Minimum planting strip widths
between the curb and sidewalk are established according to the street development standards of
RMC 4-6-060. Street trees and, at a minimum, groundcover are to be located in this area when
present. Street trees shall be planted in the center of the planting strip between the curb and the
sidewalk at the following intervals; provided, that, where right-of-way is constrained, irregular
intervals and slight increases or decreases may be permitted or required. Additionally, trees shall
be planted in locations that meet required spacing distances from facilities located in the right-
of-way including, but not limited to, underground utilities, street lights, utility poles, traffic signs,
fire hydrants, and driveways; such spacing standards are identified in the City’s Approved Tree
List. Generally, the following spacing is required: i. Small-sized maturing trees: thirty feet (30') on
center; ii. Medium-sized maturing trees: forty feet (40') on center; and iii. Large-sized maturing
trees: fifty feet (50') on center. A conceptual landscape plan shall be provided with the land use
application as prepared by a licensed Landscape Architect, a certified nurseryman or other
certified professional.
Significant Tree Retention: Staff review of aerial images of the site identifies there are mature
trees on the site. A tree inventory and a tree retention plan along with an arborist report, tree
retention plan and tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use
application as defined in RMC 4-8-120. The tree retention plan must show preservation of at least
30% of significant trees. The Administrator may authorize the planting of replacement trees on
the site if it can be demonstrated to the Administrator's satisfaction that an insufficient number
of trees can be retained. Please refer to Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations RMC 4-4-
130 for further general and specific tree retention and land clearing requirements.
If significant trees are proposed to be removed, a tree inventory and a tree retention plan along
with a tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application. The tree
retention plan must show preservation of at least thirty-percent (30%) of significant trees, and
indicate how proposed building footprints would be sited to accommodate preservation of
significant trees that would be retained.
Tree Credit Requirements: With the exception of interior remodels not involving any building
addition, removal of trees, or alteration of impervious areas, properties subject to an active land
development permit shall comply with all of the following minimum tree credit requirements, and
apply the tree credit value table at (H.1.b.v).
KLN Estates/Rogers 2-lot Short Plat
Page 4 of 7
September 22, 2022
i. Tree credit requirements shall apply at a minimum rate of thirty (30) credits per net
acre.
ii. Either tree retention or a combination of tree retention and supplemental tree
planting (with new small, medium, or large tree species) shall be provided to meet or
exceed the minimum tree credits required for the site.
iii. Supplemental tree planting shall consist of new small, medium, or large species trees,
as defined in RMC 4‐11‐200, Definitions T. The supplemental trees shall be planted
with a minimum size of two‐inch (2") caliper, or evergreen trees with a minimum size
of six feet (6') tall. The Administrator shall have the authority to approve, deny, or
restrict the tree species for proposed supplemental trees.
iv. Within subdivisions, location of supplemental tree replanting shall be prioritized
within tree tract(s) versus individual lots.
v. Tree credit value for each tree, existing or new, is assigned as shown in the following
table:
All significant trees required to be retained shall be preserved in the priority order listed below,
with Priority One trees being the highest priority. Applications that propose retention of lower
priority trees in lieu of Priority One trees must demonstrate in writing to the Administrator’s
satisfaction that: (1) all reasonable efforts have been taken to preserve trees utilizing the highest
KLN Estates/Rogers 2-lot Short Plat
Page 5 of 7
September 22, 2022
priority possible, (2) that retention of higher priority trees is not feasible or practical for the
project site, and (3) that the project proposal meets or exceeds the purposes and intent of this
Section. Significant trees shall be retained in the following priority order:
Priority One
i. Landmark trees;
ii. Significant trees that form a continuous canopy;
iii. Significant trees on slopes greater than twenty percent (20%);
iv. Significant trees adjacent to critical areas and their associated buffers;
v. Significant trees over sixty feet (60') in height or greater than eighteen inches (18")
caliper; and
vi. Trees that shelter interior trees or trees on abutting properties from strong winds,
which could otherwise allow such sheltered trees to be blown down if removed.
Priority Two
i. Healthy tree groupings whose associated undergrowth can be preserved;
ii. Other significant native evergreen or deciduous trees; and
iii. Other significant non‐native trees.
Priority Three
Alders and cottonwoods shall be retained when all other trees have been evaluated for
retention and are not able to be retained, unless the alders and/or cottonwoods are used
as part of an approved enhancement project within a critical area or its buffer
If staff determines that the trees cannot be retained, replacement trees, with at least a 2-inch
caliper or an evergreen at least 6 feet tall, shall be planted at a rate of 12 caliper inches of new
trees to replace each protected tree removed. Protected trees that do not contribute to a lot's
required minimum tree density shall be held in perpetuity within a tree protection tract.
The Administrator may require independent review of any land use application that involves tree
removal and land clearing at the City's discretion.
If staff determines that the trees cannot be retained, replacement trees, with at least a 2-inch
caliper or an evergreen at least 6 feet tall, shall be planted at a rate of 12 caliper inches of new
trees to replace each protected tree removed. A formal arborist report, tree retention plan and
tree retention worksheet prepared by an arborist or landscape architect would be required at
the time of the Preliminary Plat application.
Fences/Walls: If the applicant intends to install any fences or retaining walls as part of this project,
the location must be designated on the landscape plan and grading plan with top of wall and
bottom of wall elevations. A fence and/or wall detail should also be included on the plan. A
retaining wall that is 4 feet or taller, as measured by the vertical distance from the bottom of the
footing to the finish grade at the top of the wall requires a building permit. The maximum height
of any fence or retaining wall is 72-inches subject to further height limitations in setbacks and
clear vision areas noted in RMC 4-4-040D. A fence shall not be constructed on top of a retaining
wall unless the total combined height of the retaining wall and the fence does not exceed the
KLN Estates/Rogers 2-lot Short Plat

September 22, 2022
allowed height of a standalone fence. For more information about fences and retaining walls refer
to RMC 4-4-040.
Critical Areas: According to COR Maps there are no critical areas mapped on the project site. It is
the applicant’s responsibility to determine whether any other critical areas are present on the
site prior to formal land use application.
Environmental Review: Short plats are categorically exempt from Environmental (SEPA) Review
except for lands covered by water or critical areas as designated in RMC 4-9-070H.2. The proposed
short plat would no longer be exempt from environmental review if further investigation of the
site results in the identification of designated critical areas.
Permit Requirements: The proposal would require administrative short plat approval. The
application would be reviewed within an estimated time frame of six to eight weeks. The 2022
administrative short plat application fee is $5,410.00. Each modification request is $260.00. A 5%
technology fee would also be assessed at the time of land use application. All fees are subject to
change. Detailed information regarding the land use permit application submittal requirements
can be found on the Short Plat Submittal Requirements. Other informational applications and
handouts can be found on the City’s Digital Records Library. The City requires electronic plan
submittal for all applications. Please refer to the City’s Electronic File Standards. A Final Short
Plat application, and it’s associated fee, will be required following construction of the short plat’s
infrastructure.
Public Information Sign: Public Information Signs are required for all Type II and Type III Land Use
Permits as classified by RMC 4-8-080. Public Information Signs are intended to inform the public
of potential land development, specific permits/actions being considered by the City, and to
facilitate timely and effective public participation in the review process. The applicant must follow
the specifications provided in the public information sign handout. The applicant is solely
responsible for the construction, installation, maintenance, removal, and any costs associated
with the sign.
Fees: In addition to the applicable building and construction fees, impact fees would be required.
