1. Protect Description/Background
Page3
The applicant, Pat Anardi, has proposed to subdivide a 0.47-acre parcel into three lots. An existing residence
is proposed to be removed. The proposed lots are intended for the future development of single family
residences.
The lots are proposed at the following sizes: 5,578 square feet (Lot 1), 6,779 square feet (Lot 2), and 7,981
square feet (Lot 3). The applicant is proposing to access the lots directly off of Talbot Road S. The net site
area is 20,388 square feet or 0.47 acres. This in turn, equates to a net density of 6.4 dwelling units per acre (3
I 0.47 = 6.4 du/ac), which is below the maximum (8.0 du/ac) allowed within the R-8 zone.
The topography of the subject site is flat with an approximate slope of 2 percent from east to west. The subject
site is predominately vegetated with blackberry bushes and 8 trees (5 hemlock, 1 cedar, and 3 deciduous).
The 5 Hemlock trees, Cedar tree, and one of the deciduous trees are proposed to be removed as a result of
the development of the short plat. No critical areas were found at the subject site during the review of this
application.
The applicant has also requested an administrative variance from the minimum lot width standards for all 3 of
the lots. The proposed minimum lot width for all 3 lots is 49.99 feet, which is 0.01 feet below the minimum lot
width required. Approval of an Administrative Setback Variance to permit the reduced minimum lot width is
required in order to approve the proposed three-lot short plat.
2. Environmental Review
Except when located on lands covered by water or critical areas. short plats are exempt from SEPA
Environmental Review pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(6)(a).
3. Compliance with ERC Conditions
NIA
4. Staff Review Comments
Representatives from various city departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and address
issues raised by the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file, and the
essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report and the
Departmental Recommendation at the end of the report.
5. Consistency Short Plat Criteria
Approval of a plat is based upon several factors. The following short plat criteria have been established to
assist decision-makers in the review of the plat:
a) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Designation
shplt,pt. doc
The site is designated Residential Single Family (RSF) on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Map. Lands in the RSF designation are intended to be used for quality residential detached
development organized into neighborhoods at urban densities. It is intended that larger
subdivision, infill development, and rehabilitation of existing housing be carefully designed to
City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED August 10, 2006; PROJECT LUA-06-038, SHPL-A, V-A Page 4
enhance and improve the quality of single-family living environments. The proposal is consistent
with the following Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Community Design Element policies:
Policy LU-147. Net development densities should fall within a range of 4.0 to 8.0 dwelling units
per acre in Residential Single Family neighborhoods.
The proposed project for three lots would arrive at a net density of 6.4 dwelling units per net acre,
which is within the density range required.
Polley LU-148. A minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet should be allowed on in-fill parcels of/ess
than one acre (43,560 sq. ft.) in single-family designations. Allow a reduction on lot size to 4,500
square feet on parcels greater than one acre to create an incentive for aggregation of land. The
minimum lot size is not intended to set the standard for density in the designation, but to provide
flexibility in subdivision/plat design and facilitate development within the allowed density range.
All of the proposed lots equal or exceed the minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet.
Policy LU-152. Single-family lot size, lot width, setbacks, and impervious surface should be
sufficient to allow private open space, landscaping to provide buffers/privacy without extensive
fencing, and sufficient area for maintenance activities.
The proposed new lot would meet the required lot size, and setbacks to create sufficient front, rear,
and side yard areas. The applicant has requested a variance to create lots that would have lot
widths below the minimum lot width required.
Policy LU-154. Interpret development standards to support new plats and infill project designs
incorporating street locations, lot configurations, and building envelopes that address privacy and
quality of life for existing residents.
The proposed lots are rectangular in shape and oriented such that all of the lots would have
access to a public right-of-way. Approval of this application would not decrease the quality of life
for residents in the immediate vicinity.
Policy CD-12. Infill development, defined as new short plats of nine or fewer lots, should be
encouraged in order to add variety, updated housing stock, and new vitality to neighborhoods.
The proposed short plat would subdivide one existing parcel into three lots. Three new residences
would be constructed on the new lots, updating the housing stock in the existing neighborhood.
b} Compliance with the Underlying Zoning Designation
shp/trpt.doc
The subject site is designated Residential -8 Dwelling Units per Acre (R-8) on the City of Renton
Zoning Map. The proposed development would allow for the future construction of three new
single family dwelling units.
The allowed density range in the R-8 zone is a minimum of 4.0 to a maximum of 8.0 dwelling units
per acre. Net density is calculated after the deduction of sensitive areas, areas intended for public
right-of-way, and private access easements. There are no areas to be subtracted from the gross
site area for the purpose of calculating net density. The project would arrive at a net density of 6.4
dwelling units per acre (3 lots/ 0.47 acres = 6.4 du/ac), which is within the density range permitted
for the R-8 zone.
The allowed building lot coverage in the R-8 zone is 35 percent or 2,500 square feet, whichever is
greater for lots over 5,000 square feet in size and lots 5,000 square feet or less are allowed a
maximum of 50 percent lot coverage. The lot coverage requirements for the proposed lots would
be verified at the time of building permit review.
The required setbacks in the R-8 zone are as follows: front yard is 15 feet for the primary structure
and 20 feet for an attached garage, side yard is 5 feet, side yard along a street is 15 feet for the
primary structure and 20 feet for an attached garage and the rear yard is 20 feet. Based on the
proposed subdivision, the proposed lots would have their front yards facing west towards Talbot
Road S. The setbacks for the proposed residences would be verified at the time of building permit
review.
The parking regulations required that detached or semi-attached dwellings provide a minimum of 2
off-street parking spaces. As proposed, each lot would have adequate area to provide two off-
street parking spaces. In addition, the parking regulations require that driveways be located a
'
City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED August 10, 2006; PROJECT LUA--06-038, SHPL•A, V-A Page 5
minimum of 5 feet from the adjoining property line. Compliance with the parking requirements will
be verified at the time of building permit review.
The R-8 zone permits accessory structures only when associated with a primary structure located
on the same parcel. An existing single-family residence is proposed to be removed for the
development of the short plat. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant
obtain a demolition permit and complete all inspections and approvals for the demolition of the
single family residence prior to the recording of the final short plat.
c) Community Assets
The site is vegetated primarily with blackberry bushes and a total of 9 trees (5 Hemlock, 1 Cedar,
and 3 deciduous). The 5 Hemlock trees, Cedar tree and one of the deciduous trees are proposed
to be removed for the development of the short plat. RMC 4-4-070 indicates that existing trees
and other vegetation shall be used to augment new plantings for landscaping where practical, and
RMC 4-7-130 requires that a reasonable effort should be made to preserve existing trees. A
Determination was made by the Director of Development Services that the retention or
replacement of 25% of the existing trees would achieve these requirements. The proposed short
plat would be required to retain 2 of the 9 existing trees to achieve the required 25 percent
retention requirement. The applicant has proposed to retain 2 trees on the subject property, which
is in compliance with the minimum number of trees required to be retained.
The City's landscaping regulations require the installation of landscaping within the public right-of.
way. The minimum amount of landscaping required for sites abutting a non-arterial public street
(Talbot Road S) is 5 feet provided that if there is additional undeveloped right-of-way in excess of 5
feet, this shall also be landscaped. A determination has been made that if no additional area is
available within the public right-of-way due to required improvements, the 5-foot landscaped strip
may be located within private property abutting the public right-of-way. The landscaping proposed
shall either consist of drought resistant vegetation or shall be irrigated appropriately. In addition,
the applicant will be required to plant two ornamental trees, a minimum caliper of 1-1/2 inches
(deciduous) or 6 -8 feet in height (conifer), within the 15-foot front yard setback area for the
proposed lots.
A conceptual landscape plan was submitted with the application. The landscape plan proposes to
plant an eco turf mixture, which is drought resistant from the property line to the edge of the
pavement within Talbot Road S. Two trees (Kwanzan Cherry, Steller Pink Dogwood Cross, or
Cascade Snow Cherry) are proposed within the front yard areas of each of the proposed lots.
The submitted conceptual landscape plan complies with the City's landscaping requirements.
A detailed landscape plan is required to be submitted with the building permit applications for the
individual residences.
d} Compliance with Subdivision Regulations
shp/1,pt.doc
Streets: No new public streets would be created as part of the proposed short plat.
Talbot Road S is classified as a Residential Access Street on the City's Arterial Street Map. There
are no curbs, gutters or sidewalks along the frontage of Talbot Road S. The City's adopted street
standards require the installation of street improvements, including curb, gutter, and sidewalk,
along the frontage of the short plat.
The proposed short plat is anticipated to generate additional traffic on the City's street system. In
order to mitigate transportation impacts, staff recommends a condition of approval be placed on
the project requiring a Transportation Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per net new average daily
trip attributed to the project. Two new lots (credit given for the existing residence) are expected to
generate approximately 19.14 new average weekday trips. The fee for the proposed short plat is
estimated at $1,435.50 ($75.00 x 9.57 trips x 2 lots = $1,435.50) and is payable prior to the
recording of the short plat.
Blocks: No new blocks will be created as part of the proposed short plat.
Lots: The size, shape, orientation, and arrangement of the proposed lots comply with the
requirements of the Subdivision Regulations and the development standards of the R-8 zone.
Each lot is rectangular in shape. The front yard areas of the proposed lots are oriented to the west
City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED August 10, 2006; PROJECT LUA-06-038, SHPL-A, V-A Page 6
· towards Talbot Road S. Each of the proposed lots provides direct access to a public street (Talbot
Road S).
The minimum lot size in the R-8 zone is 5,000 square feet for parcels that total less than 1 acre in
area. The proposed lot sizes are 5,578 square feet for Lot 1, 6,779 square feet for Lot 2, and
7,981 square feet for Lot 2, which meet the minimum lot size requirements.
The minimum lot width in the R-8 zone is 60 feet for comer lots and 50 feet for interior lots. All of
the proposed lots would be interior lots and would have a minimum lot width requirement of 50
feet. Each of the lots is proposed to have lot widths of 49.99 feet, which is below the minimum lot
width required. The applicant has requested and Administrative Variance to have 3 lots with lot
widths less than the minimum lot width required. To reduce the number of lots requiring a
variance, staff recommends as a condition of approval that a revised short plat map be submitted
prior to final plat approval showing two of the lots with a lot width of 50 feet and the third lot with a
lot width of 49.97 feet. The revised short plat map shall be submitted to the Development Services
Division project manager for review and approval.
The minimum lot depth in the R-8 zone is 65 feet. Proposed Lot 1 would have a lot depth of 11 O
feet, Lot 2 would have a lot depth of 135 feet, and Lot 3 would have a lot depth of 160 feet. The
dimensions of the proposed lots meet the minimum depth requirements and are compatible with
other existing lots in this area under the same R-8 zoning classification. In addition, the lots
appear to contain adequate building areas for the construction of a suitable single-family residence
when taking setbacks and lot coverage requirements into consideration. These requirements will
be reviewed at the time of building permit application.
e) Reasonableness of Proposed Boundaries
Access: Each lot would have direct access to a public right-of-way (Talbot Road S) via single-
family residential driveways.
Topography: The topography of the site gently slopes to the west. at an average slope of
approximately 2%. The property is vegetated with blackberry bushes and a total of 9 trees (5
Hemlock, 1 Cedar, and 3 deciduous). The 5 hemlock trees, Cedar tree, and 1 deciduous tree are
proposed to be removed for the development of the short plat.
Due to the potential for erosion that could occur during construction activities, staff recommends as
a condition of approval that erosion control be required to comply with the 2001 Department of
Ecology Stormwater Management Manual requirements for erosion and sedimentation control.
Relationship to Existing Uses: The properties surrounding the subject site are single-family
residences and are designated Residential -8 Dwelling Units Per Acre (R-8) on the City's zoning
map. The proposal is similar to existing development patterns in the area and is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code, which encourage residential infill development.
f) Aval/ability and Impact on Public Services (Timeliness)
shpltrpt. doc
Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicate that sufficient resources exist to furnish
services to the proposed development, subject to the condition that the applicant provide Code
required improvements, and mitigation fees. These fees paid would help offset any additional
impacts to emergency services generated from this development. A Fire Mitigation Fee. based on
$488.00 per new single family lot with credit given for the existing single family residence, are
recommended in order to mitigate the proposal's potential impacts to City emergency services.
The fee is estimated at $976.00 ($488 x 2 = $976.00) and is payable prior to the recording of the
short plat.
Schools: According to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the City of Renton Land Use
Element (January 16, 1992), the City of Renton has a student generation factor of 0.44 students
per single family residential dwelling. Therefore, it is anticipated that the proposed short plat would
result in 1 (0.44 X 2 = 0.88) new children to the local schools. The Renton School District has
indicated they can accommodate the additional students generated by this proposal.
Storm Water. There are storm drainage facilities to the north in Talbot Road S. A Technical
Information Report prepared by Patrick Harron & Assoc., LLC dated Mach, 2006 was submitted
with the application. The existing runoff sheet flows from the east to west into the Talbot Road S
right-of-way. The report indicates that the proposed short plat would be exempt from detention

REPORT AND DECISION DATED August 10, 2006; PROJECT LUA-06-038, SHPL-A, V-A Page 7
and water quality requirements per the 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual and the
proposed method of drainage control is to construct a roadside ditch that would serve as a
temporary conveyance system until full frontage improvements are constructed. On-site drainage
from the roof drains are proposed to be routed to the roadside ditch through the construction of on-
site drainage swales. The swales would have energy diffusers at the downspout ends to help
prevent erosion during major storm events. The submitted report has been reviewed by the City of
Renton's Plan Review Section. Additional review of the drainage improvements will be required
prior to the issuance of a Utility Construction Permit. The Surface Water System Development
Charges are based on a rate of $759.00 per new single-family lot. Payment of this fee will be
required prior to issuance of utility construction permit.
Water and Sanitary Sewer Utilities: The proposed short plat is located in the City of Renton
Water Service Area and is located in the 350 Water Pressure Zone. There is an existing 12"
watermain located in Talbot Rd S. The static pressure at the street is approximately 66 psi.
Pressure reducing valves are required to be installed on domestic water meters exceeding 75 psi.
There is an existing watermain easement along the south property line of the proposed lot 3 of the
short plat. The fire flow requirement for single-family residences is 1,000 gpm. A hydrant is
required within 300 feet of the furthest structure. If residences exceed 3,600 square feet (including
garage area), fire flow increases to 1,500 gpm and an additional hydrant will be required. This
project will be required to install an additional fire hydrant off the existing 12" watermain located in
Talbot Rd S. to serve the new short plat. A 5-inch quick-disconnect fitting will be required to be
installed on all new hydrants. Any existing hydrant counted as fire protection will require installation
of a "storz" quick disconnect fitting if not already in place. All short plats shall provide a separate
water service stub to each building lot prior to recording of the plat. Separate permits for water
meters will be required. Water System Development Charges are based on a rate of $1,956 per
new single-family lot. Payment of fee is required prior to issuance of utility construction permit.
There is an existing 8-inch sewer main in Talbot Road S. Minimum slope for side sewers shall be
2%. Dual side sewers are not allowed. Separate sewer stubs are required to be provided to each
new lot prior to recording of the short plat. Sanitary Sewer System Development Charges are
based on a rate of $1,017.00 per new single-family lot. Payment of this fee will be required prior to
issuance of utility construction permit.
g) Consistency With Variance Criteria
shpJt,pl.doc
The Administrator shall have authority to grant an administrative variance upon making a
determination, in writing, that the conditions specified below have been found to exist. Section 4-9-
250B.5.a. lists 4 criteria that the Administrator is asked to consider, along with all other relevant
information, in making a decision on an Administrative Variance application. These include the
following:
1. That the applicant suffers undue hardship and the variance is necessary because of
special circumstances applicable to subject property, including size, shape, topography,
location or surroundings of the subject property, and the strict application of the Zoning
Code is found to deprive subject property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by other
property owners in the vicinity and under Identical zone classification:
The applicant contends that special circumstances do exist as the width of the subject property as
a whole is just shy of the 150 feet that would be required to subdivide the property into 3 50-foot
wide lots. The strict application of the zoning code would result in an alternate, less desirable lot
configuration than is achieved through the approval of the proposed configuration.
Therefore, staff does recognize that special circumstances do exist with respect to this variance
application and denying the variance would not prohibit the short platting of the property, but would
create a configuration that is less desirable to the City of Renton.
City of Renton P/8/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED August 10, 2006; PROJECT LUA-06-038, SHPL-A, V-A Page 8
2. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare
or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which subject
property is situated:
The granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare. Instead, the
granting of the variance would allow for a three-lot short plat, which would create lots that are
compatible with other lots in the surrounding neighborhood. If the variance were denied, the
proposed short plat would be revised to create lots that would be less compatible with the
surrounding development; therefore it appears that the granting of the variance would be less
injurious to the surrounding properties than if the variance were denied.
3. That approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone In which the subject
property is situated:
Approval of the variance would not be considered a grant of special privilege because, the same
variance would be supported under identical circumstances where a property would be short
platted to obtain maximum density and the width of the parent parcel is not wide enough to
subdivide the parcel into 3 lots that would each comply with the minimum lot width required.
To reduce the number of non-conforming lots that the proposed short plat would create, the short
plat will be required to be revised to increase the lot widths for 2 of the lots to the minimum lot
width of 50 feet required and have one of the lots with a reduced lot width of 49.97 feet. This was
made a condition of short plat approval.
4. That the approval as determined by the Zoning Administrator is a minimum variance
that will accompllsh the desired purpose:
The requested variance is the minimum necessary to subdivide the parcel into 3 lots in the desired
lot configuration. Two of the proposed lots will be required to be revised to comply with the 50-foot
minimum lot width and the third lot would have a lot width of 49.97 feet, which is the maximum lot
width that could be achieved.
H. Findings:
Having reviewed the written record in the matter, the City now enters the following:
1. Request: The applicant has requested a three-lot Administrative Short Plat and Administrative lot
width Variance approval for the Foster Short Plat & Variance, File No. LUA-06-038, SHPL-A, V-A.
2. Application: The applicant's short plat and variance application complies with the requirements for
information for short plat and variance review. The applicant's short plat and variance plans and other project
drawings are contained within the official land use file.
3. Comprehensive Plan: The subject proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designations
of the Single Family Residential (SFR) land use designation.
4. Zoning: The proposal as presented, complies with the zoning requirements and development
standards (contingent upon approval of the variance) of the Residential Single Family -8 (R-8) zoning
designation, provided all advisory notes and conditions of approval are complied with.
5. Subdivision Regulations: The proposal complies with the requirements established by the City's
SUbdivision Regulations for the short platting of 3 lots provided all advisory notes and conditions of approval
are complied with.
6. Existing Land Uses: Land uses surrounding the subject site include: North Residential Single Family
(zoned R-8); East: Residential Single Family (zoned R-8); South: Residential Single Family (zoned R-8); and
West: Residential Single Family (zoned R-8).
7. Setbacks: The setbacks for future development on the proposed lot would be evaluated based on the
standards applicable to lots along streets existing as of March 1, 1995. The setbacks for the proposed new
residences would be verified at the time of building permit review.
