Subject: RE: Home Depot sign
Luis,
Below is our response to your question, in short Home Depot would be required to show the 8-foot planter between the curb and
sidewalk.
King County Metro does have preliminary approval to locate the sidewalk directly behind the curb due to the lack of sufficient existing
right of way and they do not trigger the requirements for complete streets. Home depot, however, would trigger RMC 4-6-060 complete
streets, requiring a minimum 8-foot wide planter and an 8-foot wide sidewalk behind the proposed curb that will be constructed by King
County Metro.
It is likely that Home Depot improvements will be constructed prior to the King County I-Line. Home Depot will need to build the sidewalk
as if the King County Metro’s proposed curb is already constructed. Right of way dedication would need to be located 2’ from back of
sidewalk. As a note, there are existing trees within the right of way along Talbot that will need to be saved and located within the
proposed planter strip. This may require an increased planter strip width at this location.

Luis,
It appears based on your cross section that you are proposing to locate the sidewalk adjacent to the curb and locate the 8-foot planter
behind the sidewalk. This does not meet City code. The 8-foot landscape planter is required to be between the curb and sidewalk, if you
would like to proceed with the plans as submitted, we could add this as a condition of approval that would be addressed later.
Thanks,

I do not see that the frontage improvements have been shown on the plan set. It appears that the sidewalk is in the same location as it
currently is. The frontage improvement requirements require an 8’ landscape strip with street trees between the curb and 8’ sidewalk.

See attached and below responses.
1. The seasonal sales area noted on the site plan would need to be screened from public view with a meaningful landscaped buffer.
To be screened by future Outlot 2 development. Offsite improvement shown in phasing plan
2. The landscape planting plan appears to be incomplete, the proposed landscape plan would need to demonstrate compliance
with the 10-foot onsite landscape strip along the abutting street frontages (RMC 4-4-070F.1), as well as the surface parking lot
landscaping requirements (RMC 4-4-070F.6). Plan revised to include street buffer as well as landscape islands within the HD lot.
3. It appears that the proposed site plan does not include the required pedestrian walkways through the parking lot as required in
the Urban Design Regulations (RMC 4-3-100E.3): “Pathways within parking areas shall be provided and differentiated by material or
texture (i.e., raised walkway, stamped concrete, or pavers) from abutting paving materials (illustration below). Permeable materials
are encouraged. The pathways shall be perpendicular to the applicable building facade and no greater than one hundred fifty feet
(150') apart.” Pedestrian pathway added to plan per request.
4. The proposed lot layout appears to impact the layout of the surface parking of the Home Depot parking lot with some of the lot
lines impacting parking spaces and drive aisles. The proposed parking lot layout would need to be revised to accommodate the
eventual redevelopment of the proposed out lots while maintaining the surface parking needed for Home Depot. See Phase Site
Plan for future improvements.
5. The proposed site plan and conceptual civil plans do not show the required frontage improvements along the S Grady Way and
Talbot Rd S frontages. Frontage improvements added, see revised Site Plan and Phase Site Plan.
Per RMC 4-3-100E.4 a public plaza is required for properties located at the intersection of S Grady Way and Talbot Rd S. Plaza added to
corner as part of Outlot 1 improvements – shown in phasing plan

Luis,
Thank you for uploading these additional items. I noticed that revisions were not made to the site plan and landscape plan to address the
comments in my email to Dan sent on January 11th (see comments below). We are willing to begin the official review of the submitted
application materials, provided you understand that it is likely the comments from my January 11th email will become conditions of
approval and/or result in the review of the project being placed on hold at a later date if it is determined that these comments would
require substantial changes to the submitted site and/or landscape plan.

Dan,
Thank you for getting your application materials uploaded. I have enough to determine the application complete and send an Acceptance
Letter, however there are a few outstanding items that will need to be submitted before a formal review of the application can begin. You
will need to submit the following additional information:
1. A SEPA Checklist, which may be downloaded here;
2. Title Report;
3. A Construction Mitigation Description: A written narrative addressing each of the following:
i. Proposed construction dates (begin and end dates);
ii. Hours and days of operation;
iii. Proposed hauling/transportation routes;
iv. Measures to be implemented to minimize dust, traffic and transportation impacts, erosion, mud, noise, and
other noxious characteristics;
v. Any special hours proposed for construction or hauling (i.e. weekends, late nights); and
vi. Preliminary traffic control plan.
Note:If your project requires the use of cranes, please contact the City’s Airport Manager at 425-430-7471 to determine whether
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) notification will be required.
4. Urban Design Regulation Overlay Report (see attached report that will need to be completed and submitted for review);
5. Affidavit of Installation of Public Information Sign and Public Outreach Sign (see attached affidavits to be completed and
submitted);
6. A Critical Areas memo: I am assuming that you would anticipate making the justification that your project is exempt from
complying with our critical areas regulations as it meets the criteria for a “Site Separated from Critical Areas” (RMC 4-3-050B.1.g). If
that is the case, you would need to have your wetland/stream biologist prepare a memo with a justification on how your project
meets this requirement.
7. A Street Modification Justification: A modification to our street standards would be required to retain the existing pavement
width along S Grady Way and Talbot Rd S and reduce the required right-of-way dedication.
Please submit a narrative that addresses the following decision criteria: Whenever there are practical difficulties involved in
carrying out the provisions of this Title, the Department Administrator may grant modifications for individual cases provided
he/she shall first find that a specific reason makes the strict letter of this Code impractical, that the intent and purpose of the
governing land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan is met and that the modification is in conformity with the intent and
purpose of this Code, and that such modification:
a. Substantially implements the policy direction of the policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and
the Community Design Element and the proposed modification is the minimum adjustment necessary to implement these
policies and objectives;
b. Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by the Code
requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment;
c. Will not create substantial adverse impacts to other property(ies) in the vicinity;
d. Conforms to the intent and purpose of the Code; and
e. Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended;
In addition, once we complete a formal review of the submitted application, we may have additional comments that will need to be
addressed prior to holding a public hearing.
