SUBJECT: Castle Auto Sale Tenant Improvement
805 SW 10th St
LUA24-000022
I have completed the review for the above-referenced proposal located at parcel 2423049025. The
following comments are based on the land use application submittal made to the City of Renton by the
applicant.
EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
The proposed Castle Auto Sale Tenant Improvement project will occupy the existing one-story
warehouse for a used automobile sale with four service bays. The existing building was recently used
under an emergency use authorization during the Covid-19 pandemic as a testing station. Prior to that, it
was used as a vehicle emissions testing station for the Department of Ecology’s Air Quality Program.
Water There is an existing 12-inch water main located in SW Grady Way that can deliver a maximum
flow capacity of 4,700 GPM (Record Dwg: W-190402). There is an existing 12-inch water main located to
the west of the project site that can deliver a maximum flow capacity of 4,700 GPM (Record Dwg: W-
042002). There is an existing 12-inch water main located in SW 10th St that can deliver a maximum flow
capacity of 4,700 GPM (Record Dwg: W-02390F). The approximate static water pressure is 75 psi at a
ground elevation of 22’. There is an existing 1-1/2” domestic water service and meter serving the
existing building (Facility ID No. MTR-016409).
Sewer There is an existing 8-inch gravity wastewater main located within SW 10th Street (Record Dwg:
S-009107), which discharges to the 108-inch gravity King County Wastewater Main along the north
property line within SW 10th Street. There is an existing 6-inch PVC sewer stub and 6-inch PVC side
sewer serving the property, which is connected to the existing 8-inch sewer main within SW 10th Street.
Storm There are onsite private storm conveyance system surrounding the existing building, which flows
to a 42’’ CMP pipe to the south of the existing building flowing west (Record Dwg: R-297803).
Streets The proposed development fronts SW Grady Way along the south property line. The SW Grady
Way is classified as Principal Arterial Street with an existing right-of-way (ROW) width of approximately
100 feet. The proposed development also fronts SW 10th St along the north property line. The SW 10th St

is classified as a Commercial-Mixed Use & Industrial Access Street with an existing right-of-way (ROW)
width of approximately 69 feet.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
WATER COMMENTS
1. There is an existing 1.5” domestic water service and meter (Facility ID No. MTR-016409) serving
the existing building.
a. If the existing a 1 ½” water service is to be used for both irrigation and domestic
services, the applicant will be charged for the City of Renton sewer fees along with the
King County sewer fees, but would not be charged with the SDC fees associated with
water services. A DCVA per City Standard Plan 340.8 is required downstream of the
existing water meter, and no deduct meter is allowed.
b. If a separate irrigation service line and meter is proposed and connected to the
existing 12’’ water main on SW 10th St, a DCVA per City Standard Plan 340.8 behind
the meter is required and along with associated SDC fees.
2. If the project proposes to upsize the water meter or additional meters are needed, the
development will be subject to applicable water system development charges (SDC’s) and meter
installation fees based on the size and number of the new meter. Current fees can be found in
the 2024 Development Fees document on the City’s website.
a. The current water fee for a single 1-inch meter is $4,850.00 per meter, 1-1/2-inch meter is
$24,250.00, and a 2-inch meter is $38,800.00.
b. Water Service installation fee is $2,875.00 per 1-inch service line, $4,605.00 per 1-1/2-inch
service line, and $4,735.00 per 2-inch service line.
c. Drop-in meter fee is $460.00 per meter for a 1-inch meter, $750.00 for a 1-1/2-inch meter,
and $950.00 for a 2-inch meter.
d. Credit will be applied to the 1.5’’ existing service if abandoned.
e. Final determination of applicable fees will be made after the water meter size has been
determined. SDC fees are assessed and payable at construction permit issuance. The full fee
schedule can be found at:
https://edocs.rentonwa.gov/Documents/Browse.aspx?id=8217302&dbid=1&repo=CityofRe
nton.
SEWER COMMENTS
1. The auto sale building floor drains will need to be directed to an oil/water separator system
prior to connecting into the City’s Sanitary Sewer system. Installation of an oil/water separator
will be required if there is not an existing one. The oil/water separator shall be sized in
accordance with standards found in the latest edition of the Unifor Plumbing Code (UPC). The
oil/water separator shall drain by gravity to the sewer main and shall be located so that it is
accessible for routine owner maintenance.
a. There is an existing oil water separator to the north of the existing building. The
applicant needs to provide a detailed calculation/analysis to show that the existing
oil/water separator meets the current UPC. Otherwise, the applicant needs to upgrade
the oil water separator to meet current UPC and provide detailed information of the
new oil/water separator installed.
2. Since the existing sewer service will be reused, no sewer system development charges are
applicable. If the domestic water meter size is proposed/required to be upsized or additional

meters are required as a result of the project, applicable SDC fees would be required. Credit
would be provided for the existing meter size.
a. No SDC fee will be collected since no new or upgraded water meter is installed and the
existing sewer service will be reused.
SURFACE WATER COMMENTS
1. A drainage report complying with the 2022 Renton Surface Water Design Manual (2022 RSWDM)
will be required if construction is proposed exterior to the existing building. Refer to Figure 1.1.2.A
– Flow chart to determine the type of drainage review required in the RSWM.
a. No drainage review will be required since there is no construction proposed exterior to
the existing building.
TRANSPORTATION COMMENTS
1. An accessible route of travel meeting American’s With Disabilities Act’s requirements (ADA)
from the public right of way to the working facilities is required and will be reviewed in
conjunction with the building permit submittal.
a. The existing onsite ADA parking and landings will be further reviewed during building
permit review.
2. Since this project is proposing an interior remodel and no new construction or additions valued
at over $175,000, no street frontage improvements or right of way dedication are required.
3. Sites that generate 20 or more net new peak hour trips (either in the AM peak or PM peak) are
required to do a traffic impact analysis. The trips should be calculated based on the guidelines of
the current ITE Trip Generation Manual.
a. A Trip Generation Analysis Memo (memo) dated October 16, 2023, was prepared by
William Popp Associates, LLC. and submitted with the land use application. The memo
indicates that the proposed project is anticipated to generate 50 weekday daily trips,
net new 3 weekday AM peak hour trips and 19 fewer weekday PM peak hour trips.
Therefore, a traffic impact analysis is not required. Staff concurs with the assessment.
b. The memo indicates that the transportation impact fee is estimated to be $0 for this
development since the proposed new use project trip generation estimate is to 19
fewer weekday PM peak hour trips. Staff concurs with the assessment.
GENERAL COMMENTS
1. Fees quoted in this document reflect the fees applicable in the year 2024 only and will be assessed
based on the fee that is current at the time of the permit application or issuance, as applicable to
the permit type. Please visit www.rentonwa.gov for the current development fee schedule.
