The request is summarized below. Request 1. Revise the unit count from 26 to 30 units; thus revising the lot count from 26 to 31 parcels (30 residential lots plus one recreation/storm vault tract). 2. Increase the density from 19.54 dwelling units/acre to 20 dwelling units/acre. 3. Create park/storm drainage vault tract (approximately 2,000 square feet). 4. Reduce the right-of-way width from 42 feet to 24 feet. 5. Remove 42 existing protected trees. Renton Municipal Code, Section 4-9-2001, allows minor adjustments to an approved site plan, provided: 1. The adjustment does not involve more than a ten percent (I 0%)increase in area or scale of the development in the approved site plan; or 2. The adjustment does not have a significantly greater impact on the environmental and · facilities than the approved plan; or 3. The adjustment does not change the houndaries of the originally approved plan. In addition to the requested site plan modification, the proposal requires an amendment to the approved preliminary plat. The proposed revisions would require an amendment to the approved preliminary plat. Renton Municipal Code, Section 4-7-09QM pertains to plat amendments and states that at any time after preliminary plat approval and before final plat approval, the applicant may submit an application to the Administrator that proposes an amendment to the approved or conditionally approved preliminary plat. Minor amendments may be granted by the Administrator. However, major amendments require a new application, and a new public hearing. -------I-0-55_S_o_u_th_G_ra_d_y_W_a_y ___ R_e_nl-o-n,-W-a-s-hi-ngt-on_9_80_5_7 ______ ~ @ This paper contains 50% recycled material, 30% post cons Urn er AHEAD OF THE CURVE A Major Amendment includes, but is not limited to: a) Any amendment that would result in or would have the effect of decreasing the aggregate area of open space in the subdivision by ten percent (10%) or more; b) Any amendment that would result in increasing the number. of lots in the subdivision beyond the number previously approved; c} Any amendment that would result in or have the effect of reducing the residential dwelling unit density for the site below the allowed minimum density; d) Any amendment that would result in the relocation of any roadway access point to an access pointto an exterior street from the plat; e) Any amendment that proposes phasing of plat development; or, f) Any amendment that, in the opinion of the Administrator, would significantly · increase any adverse impacts or undesirable effects of the plat. Because the proposal would increase the number of lots in the subdivision beyond that which was previously approved, a Major Amendmentis needed. In addition, a modification from street standards would be neededin order to reduce 'the road width froin the previously modified width of 42-feet (from 50 footrequirement) to 24 feet. A Major Amendment is the equivalent of a new project, and ni'q~iresa new application and a public hearing with the City's Land IJse Hearing Examiner. Therefore, the request for modification of the site plan cannot be eonsld~i:edatthis.time ,md wouJ!l need to be included with _the. application to the Hearing Exan'l!'ner,for a;IV!ajorJ'lat ;\mendment. Please contact Laureen Njcolay, Senior Pla.10\er·at.425'-430-729.4 for assjstance with submittal requirements for the Major Amendment ap1!1\~~tiorlprpcess. · Sincerely, fJiJ wa1;t, Neil Watts, Director Development Services Division cc: Jennifer Henning, Planning Manager Laureen Nicolay, Senior Planner Parties of Record: l]IDavis&Kurth November 19, 2007 Neil Watts, Director Development Services City of Renton 1055 S. Grady Way Dear Neil: aOPMENT PLANNING DEV CITY Oi= RENTON DEC 1 3 2007 RECEIVED Wit'1 this letter Davis & Kurth (Applic.,nt) requests a minor adjustment to the approved Bremerton Avenue town home site development plan that was approved by the Renton City Council on March 26, 2007. The Applicant requests modification of the approved site plan to incorporate 30 units and add a park/vault tract that totals approximately 2,000 square feet. without increasing the 1.80 acre site. Project density of the approved Bremerton Avenue Town Home site development plan equaled 19.54 units per acre, with the density of the proposed modification totaling 20 dwelling units per acre, or a two percent (2%) adjustment. Pursuant to RMC 4-9-200(1), the Administrator may approve a minor modification to an approved site development plan may be permitted if the amendment complies with the criteria below. The Applicant's responses to the criteria are in bold Italic. 1. Involve more than a ten percent (10%) increase in area or scale of the development in the approved site development plan; or Response: The project site area will not be increased. Project density for the approved site development plan equaled 19.54 units per acre. Density for the proposed modification would be 20 dwelling units per acre, or a two percent (2°/o) adjustment in the scale of the approved development. 2. Have a significantly greater impact on the environment and facilities than the approved plan; or Response: The proposed modification will !1.21 have a "significantly" greater Impact on the environment and facilities than the approved plan. The proposed modification will add 3 to 4 additional vehicle trips to Renton's transportation system. To mitigate those system wide transportation Impacts, the applicant will pay a traffic mitigation fee equal to $75 for each net new dally vehicle trip prior to recording of the plat. The 42 existing significant trees on the site will unfortunately be removed for the construction of roadways, a storm water vault, the instillation of utllity lines, and the preparation of building pads. A total of 11-2-lnch caliper trees w/11 be required to be planted to comply with the City's retention/replacement requirements. New lots (credit given for existing residences) x $530.76 = $14861.28) and is payable prior to the recording of the final plat. 1201 Monster Rd. SW #320 • Renton. WA 98057 mDavis&Kurth The proposed modification will Incorporate 4 additional units into the approved site development plan. To mitigate potential impacts to the City's Police and Fire Emergency Services, the Applicant will pay a Fire Mitigation Fee, based on $388.00 per new lot prior to the recording of the final plat. The fee is estimated at $10,864 ($388.00 x 28 = $10,864). This type of development is compatible with the surrounding uses, the residential town homes would serve as a transition from the higher intensity uses of the commercial areas to the lower intensity single- family residential uses to the south. With the incorporation of the above mitigation measures, the proposed minor modification will promote the health, safety, and welfare of the City of Renton and not result in significantly greater impacts on the environment and facilities than the approved plan. 3. Change the boundaries of the originally approved plan. Response: The propOSed minor modification does not change the boundaries of the originally approved plan. Thank you for the opportunity to process this Minor Modification with the City of Renton. If you need any further information feel free to contact me. Enc. 1201 Monster Rd.

Please revise your letter requesting the minor modification to the approved site plan to include the information noted. You'll want to list the specific changes, and provide a justification for the requested change ... for example ... "applicant requests to increase the size of the office building by 1,262 square feet, from 289,457 gsf to 290,719 gsf in order to accommodate a Customer Service Center, and to reconfigure the surface parking lot to increase the number of parking stalls from 893 to 922 to serve customers and vendors. The requested revisions would result in a decrease in the size of the landscaped courtyard adjacent to the west entrance, and a reconfiguration of the landscaping as detailed below ........ " The requested reduction in the setback cannot be granted if it was a condition of approval; you would have had to appeal the condition within 14 days of the date of the decision. If this is a Code requirement, then you would need to apply for a setback variance. There is no guarantee that this would be granted. For the reduction in Parks Mitigation Fees, a separate letter must be sent to the City's Environmental Review Committee. You would have to make a convincing argument that the recreation provided by the development would offset any use of City Parks and Recreation facilities. I have only seen part of the fee waived for the provision of a community center with swimming pool, or bike lanes, or regional Page 1 • Jennifer Henning -RE: Bremerton TH • •· or Modification Request trail systems. »> "Eric Pennala" <ericp@davis-kurth.com> 11 /16/07 11 :24 AM >» Hi Jennifer, The minor modificc1tion request is to incorporate 30 units and a park/open space area with a fountain into the development.

Additionally, we request elimination of the required 15' structure setback adjacent to PIN# 152305-9030. It is my understanding that this was required based on neighborhood opposition to Town home aesthetic concerns.

Pursuant to RMC 4-9-200.1, the Administrator may approve a minor modification to an approved site development plan may be permitted if the amendment will not: 1. Involve more than a ten percent (10%) increase in area or scale of the development in the approved site development plan; or Response: The project site area will not be increased. Project density for the approved site development plan equaled 19.54 units per acre. Density for the proposed modification would be 20 dwelling units per acre, or a two percent (2%) increase in the scale of the approved development. 2. Have a significantly greater impact on the environment and facilities than the approved plan; or Response: This type of development is compatible with the surrounding uses, the residential town homes would serve as a transition from the higher intensity uses of the commercial areas to the lower intensity single-family residential uses to the south. The proposed minor modification will promote the health, safety, and welfare of the City of Renton. The proposed minor modification will not result in significantly greater impacts on the environment and facilities than the approved plan. 3. Change the boundaries of the originally approved plan.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971 as amended), on November 20, 2006, the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M) for the Bremerton Townhomes project. The DNS-M included 6 mitigation measures. A 14-day appeal period commenced on November 27, 2006 and ended on December 11, 2006. No appeals of the threshold determination were filed. 3. COMPLIANCE WITH ERG MITIGATION MEASURES Based on an analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) issued the following mitigation measures with the Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated: 1. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations found in the geotechnical report prepared by Earth Solutions NE, LLC, dated July 19, 2006. 2. The applicant shall be required to provide a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (TESCP) designed pursuant to the Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements outlined in Volume II of the Stormwater Management Manual and provide staff with a Construction Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of Construction Permits. This condition shall be subject to the review and approval of the Development Services Division. 3. The detention system for this project shall be required to comply with the requirements found in the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual to meet both detention (Conservation Flow control -a.k.a. Level 2) and water quality improvements. 4. The applicant shall pay a Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530. 76 per each new single family lot. 5. The applicant shall pay a Traffic Mitigation Fee in the amount of $75 for each new net daily trip prior to the recording of the final plat. It is anticipated that the proposed project would result in the payment of $9,991.50 (152 net new daily trips x $75 = $9,991.50). 6. Staff recommends that the applicant pay a Fire Mitigation Fee based on $388.00 per new single family lot prior to the recording of the final plat. The fee is estimated at $9,312 ($388 x 24 = $9,312).

Development Services Recommendation: Approve subject to conditions The Development Services Report was received by the Exammer on December 12, 2006. After reviewing the Development Services Report, examining available information on file with the application, field checking the property and surrounding area; the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: MINUTES The following minutes are a summary of the December 19, 2006 hearing. The legal record is recorded on CD. The hearing opened on Tuesday, December 19, 2006, at approximately 9:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers on the seventh floor of the Renton City Hall. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit No. 1: Yellow file containing the original Exhibit No. 2: Neighborhood Detail Map application, proof of posting, proof of publication and other documentation pertinent to this request.

The property is located north of the Laurelhurst Division 3 development, east side of Bremerton Avenue NE and south of NE 4"' Street. The site is located within the Commercial Arterial Zoning designation and within the Commercial Corridor Comprehensive Plan designation. The site is approximately 1.8 acres. The proposal is to divide the property into 26 lots for the construction of 26 attached townhome units. There would be two 3-unit structures located on the southeast portion of the property and ten 2-unit structures. There are no critical areas or wetlands on the project site. The Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-significance -Mitigated with 6 mitigation measures. No appeals were filed. The proposed plat is consistent with the Commercial Corridor Land Use and Community Design elements. The proposal for 26 lots resulted in a net density of 19.85 swelling units per acre, which complies with the density requirements for the CA zoning designation. To have standalone residential in a commercial zone, the applicant has to justify that there is no other commercially viable use of the property that is available. The property does not have any frontage along NE 4"' and that would hinder any commercial use of the property. The only commercial use that would be viable would be an auto repair shop. Staff does concur that without frontage on NE 4"', the site is severely restricted for commercial use. Further, the site is essentially surrounded on 3 sides by residential uses. The net density would be 19.85 dwelling units per acre, which does comply with density requirements for the CA zoning designation. The proposal is located in both the CA zone and the NE 4th Street Corridor Business District overlay. The CA zone does not mandate a minimum lot size, width or depth, the NE 4"' Street Corridor Business District does mandate a minimum lot size of 1,200 square feet. The proposed lots appear to have sufficient building area for the development of townhomes. Access to the site is proposed via a new internal access, NE 3'd Court, off of Bremerton Avenue NE. Full street improvements including curb, gutter, sidewalk, and street lighting are required. A 15-foot radius would be required at all intersections. Fire, Traffic and Parks Mitigations Fees would be imposed on this project. There currently is a 26-foot wide proposed private street which provides primary access to Lots 15 and 16, that private street should extend to the southern property line. There will be a water line within that easement and will extend all the way to the south property line. The topography is relatively flat. The applicant would be required to mitigate for any erosion or off-site sedimentation by complying with the Department of Ecology Manual for Erosion Control. There are a total of Bremerton Townhomes Prelim •.. ry Plat File No.: LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF January 8, 2007 Page 3 44 significant trees on the site, requiring the applicant to retain or replace a total of 11 trees. They plan to retain 5 trees and so will be replacing 6 trees. The site is located within the Renton School District and they have indicated that they would be able to handle the proposed 11 additional students. A drainage report was submitted, the existing drainage from the north half of the site sheet flows into the existing depression area. The drainage from the south half sheet flows to the southwest comer of the project site. A detention and wet vault will provide drainage control, these will be located in the southeast portion of the project site under the private paved street. An existing 8-inch water main is located in Bremerton Avenue NE, in addition an 8-inch water main would be required to be connected to the main in Breme1ion and looped through the site. The main would be extended to the south in a 15-foot easement to the City of Renton. All of the units would be required to be sprinklered Bremerton Avenue NE also has an 8-inch sewer main as well as an existing 8-inch sewer main on the north and east side of the site. A sewer main would be required to be installed with this project. Conditional Use Criteria: Staff feels that this type of development is compatible with the surrounding uses, the residential townhomes would serve as a transition from the higher intensity uses of the commercial area to the lower intensity single- family residential uses to the south. The development would further provide pedestrian connections to the surrounding uses along the north, south, east, and west sides of the property. Site Plan Criteria: The proposed building lot coverages range from 17% to 43%, which is well below the maximum 75% permitted in the zone. The setbacks can be reduced down to zero feet providing there are no blank walls located within the reduced setback. Front yard maximum is IO-feet, side and rear require a 15-foot setback when the property is adjacent to a residential zone. The structures on Lots 12-15 would not have blank walls located in the front yard and would qualify for a reduced setback. Lots 19, 21, and 22 have front facades that have blank walls and so would not qualify for a reduced setback unless the elevations were to be revised. Lots 9, 10, 20, 23 and 24 would have setbacks that are greater than 15-feet, 15-feet is the maximum unless a variance is applied for. A revised site plan will be submitted at the time of building permit application. Almost all lots require some change in facades or placements and so Staff has recommended that the building elevations be revised showing additional architectural detailing on the side yard along a street fa,ade of specific buildings. The applicant submitted a conceptual landscape plan that provides a I 0-foot landscape strip along all street frontages except where the front and side yard along a street setbacks are proposed to be reduced. The sidewalks required along the new NE 3•<l Court would connect pedestrians out towards Bremerton Avenue NE, a 5-foot pedestrian access easement on the northeast portion of the site would connect pedestrians to the north and east property lines, and a pedestrian connection located on the southeast portion of the site would connect pedestrians to the Laurelhurst Division 3 Preliminary Plat to the south. However, after looking at the approved site plan, it appears that a pedestrian connection to the east would terminate in someone's backyard. Bremerton Townhomes Preli. ry Plat File No.: LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF January 8, 2007 Page 4 The Examiner mentioned the earlier hearing and the concerns for the pedestrian connection being proposed through the property to the south. Each proposed townhome has proposed 2 parking spaces each within a private garage. Since compact parking stalls are required it would be required for the applicant to submit a revised site plan showing a maximum of 1 compact parking stall within the private garages proposed for Lots 1-6. Regarding refuse and recycle areas, the duplex structures are exempt from having common collection points, however, code does not exempt the triplex structures. Staff recommends that if Waste Management agrees, the applicant would be required to request a modification from the standard. A request by Staff has asked that there be some modifications to some of the buildings. All elevations be revised to provide weather protection over all secondary entrances as well as the primary entrances, some additional modulation and detailing or change of materials be provided on some of the facades that have less detailing. It was also asked that the weather protection over the entrances to the two triplex buildings (G-H) be revised to mimic the materials and shape of the roof. James Jaeger, 9419 S 204th Place, Kent, WA 98031 stated that they were in agreement with all conditions. In some cases they will revise the building locations for setbacks, in other cases they will revise the elevations. A lot of the areas that are requiring additional details are on the first floor on the back of the garages. There is flexibility to add windows and other things to the back of the garage. On the east side of the plat is the Hillcrest Townhomes, they were permitted with a different owner as a multi- family apartment. To the west is the Ridgeview Court subdivision, detached single-family housing located in the CA zone. To the north is the US Bank and to the south is the Laurelhurst Division 3 application, single- family detached. The depression that runs along the north side of the property has existed on the property for many years. When Bremerton Avenue was constructed any outlet to the west was blocked off. There is no culvert under Bremerton Avenue. When the apartment project was approved, they were issued a grading permit and the site work was done. The grade was raised and the overflow was blocked off and it then flowed to the east onto Duvall. Last winter a small lake was created along the property line. The soils are very pervious, and once the rain stopped the lake was gone within a couple of weeks, leaving behind a depression. All the drainage from the US Bank site drains into that depression. A solution has been worked out with an offsite pipe to Duvall Avenue that will accommodate both this project an US Bank. The depression will then be filled. He did not feel that a through roadway would be beneficial. There is a definite use change between Laurelhurst Division 3 and this project. It would be better for both developments if the pedestrian access were to remain but a road did not go through. Rob Stevens, Core Design, 14711 NE 29th Place, Ste. 101, Bellevue, WA 98007 stated that they were in strong opposition to the walkway heading south on this proposed project. The code does state that pedestrian access is required on each property line, however, the Code 4-3-040F actually states that "a minimum of one pedestrian connection shall be provided from each side of a property or development." There seems to be room for interpretation. There is a 15-foot building setback line and a 15-foot landscape buffer required between zones and densities of such varying differences. This is to provide separation. · Bremerton Townhomes Prelim.uary Plat File No.: LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, EC!' January 8, 2007 Page 5 Additionally, there is an issue with the recreation open space being used by multiple parties outside of the homeowners association of the Laurelhurst project. The staff report for the Bremerton Townhomes, it states that the proposal does not provide on-site recreation areas for future residents of the proposed plat. However, pedestrian trail easements would connect to prope11ies to the north, east and south. There are no existing recreational facilities in the immediate vicinity of the subject property. The Examiner stated that the report should state that, "there are no public recreational uses in the immediate vicinity of the subject property." Kayren Kittrick, Development Services stated that a pedestrian access at this location on the south end also allows the property owners from the south access to the 41 " Street corridor to the shopping and other neighborhoods in this area. Regarding the waterline, there needs to be provisions for all connections, it currently goes to the south property line and if necessary there would be a connection for the townhomes to the east. It does not have to go south for the Laurelhurst Division 3 development. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at I 0:48 am. FINDINGS. CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMEND A TTON Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant, Mark Rousso, Seattle Redevelopment, filed a request for a Preliminary Plat, Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan for a 26-lot townhomc project. 2. The yellow file containing the staff report, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) documentation and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit # l. 3. The Environmental Review Committee (ERC), the City's responsible official issued a Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated (DNS-M). 4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. 5. The subject site is located at 320 and 330 Bremerton Avenue NE. The subject site is located on the east side of Bremerton and just south of NE 4th Street. 6. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of commercial uses associated with commercial corridors, but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. 7. The subject site is currently zoned CA (Commercial Arterial). 8. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 4470 enacted in August 1994. Bremerton Townhomes Pre!, ary Plat File No.: LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF January 8, 2007 Page 6 9. The subject site is approximately 76,466 square feet or 1.8 acres. The subject site is an L-shaped parcel that is approximately 294 feet deep (east to west) by 329 feet long. The site has approximately 215 feet of frontage along Bremerton. I 0. There are two homes and some outbuildings located on the subject site. These structures would be removed if the proposal were approved. 11. The subject site is essentially level with a depression located along the northern portion of the subject site. Although the City's critical areas maps show a stream on or near the subject site, a stream assessment determined that the depression is not a stream but is the result of grading in the area. 12. There are 44 significant trees located on the subject site. It has been determined that 25% or eleven (11) of those trees should be retained or replaced. The applicant proposes retaining 5 trees, which would mean that 6 trees would need to be replaced. 13. The applicant would subdivide the existing property into 26 lots that will accommodate attached townhomes in two 3-unit clusters and 10 2-unit clusters. The development of residential uses without a commercial component in the CA Zone requires a Conditional Use Permit. The development also requires Site Plan review. 14. There will be a new public street that runs east from Bremerton and ends in a modified T-intersection. Townhome lots would be located north and south of the road and east of the T-intersection. The two 3- unit townhomes would be located in the southeast panhandle while the remaining 2-unit homes would occupy the rest of the property. The townhomes would be oriented toward the street and toward each other. The proposed lots would range in size from approximately 1,316 square feet to 4,333 square feet. Most of the lots would be rectangular but street curves would define some of the lots. 15. The applicant and staff analyzed a number of road and alley configurations but safety considerations generally dictated the location of NE 3rd Court. Transportation staff preferred that NE 3rd Court generally line up with its counterpart west of Bremerton. There will be easements into some of the properties and direct access to NE 3rd Court. Development within the NE 4th Street District is required to provide links to and through property abutting its property lines to connect residential and commercial development. Those connections are provided along the north and northeast comer of the site. Staff has recommended that the applicant provide an extension of NE 3rd Court to the south property line to provide access through the site to property to the south being proposed for subdivision at this time. The developer of that southerly abutting property objects to that extension. 16. There are additional criteria for stand-alone residential uses in the NE 4th Street Business District. The housing must be at least 150 feet from an arterial street, there is a mix of commercial, residential and service uses within 150 feet of the proposed use, commercial use of the property is not feasible due to configuration or commercial frontage, residential uses are connected to the commercial sectors and there is a transition between the commercial and R-8 districts. The proposed use is located more than 150 feet from NE 4th Street. The site is located within 150 feet of commercial uses. The applicant contends that the site and frontage of the site is unsuitable for commercial uses and staff has recommended a pedestrian connection to the R-8 property to the south of the subject site. 17. The CA zone coupled with the NE 4th Street Corridor regulations permit a front yard between IO feet and 15 feet although it may be reduced as long as there are no blank walls ( 6 feet high and 15 feet long) presented to passersby. Similarly, the side yard is required to be JO feet along a street but may be reduced under similar limitations. A 15 foot rear or side yard is required abutting residential wning · Bremerton Townhomes Prelimu,ary Plat File No.: LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF January 8, 2007 Page 7 such as that found south of the site. The front yard depth may not be exceeded. Staff noted that Proposed Lots I to 8, 11, 16 to 18, 25 and 26 all have the required 10 to 15 foot setbacks. Proposed Lots 12 to 15, 19, 21 and 22 have front yards ofless than 10 feet but of those lots, Lots 19, 21 and 22 have blank walls that will need modifications to meet code. Proposed Lots 9, 10, 20, 23 and 24 have front yards that exceed the maximum 15-foot setback permitted. They will have to be modified to meet code. Proposed Lots I, 3 to 11, 13, 15, 19, 21 to 24 and 26 have side yards along a street or easement. Of those Proposed Lots 13, and 21 to 23 have blank walls and their exterior will have to be modified to meet code. Proposed Lots 15 and 16 abut a residential zone and must be have a 15-foot setback. 18. The applicant had proposed a pedestrian connection to the east near the south comer of the site. This easement would abruptly end at a third party property and not serve any purpose. Staff recommended that it be merged with required landscaping to provide appropriate screening for the abutting R-8 property. 19. The CA zone permits 35-foot tall residential buildings and those proposed for the subject site will be 29 feet tall. 20. The applicant has proposed providing compact parking stalls for Proposed Lots I to 6 but code would not permit more than one compact stall per unit. The plans will have to be modified to meet code. 2 I. The density permitted for residential uses in the CA Zone ranges from 10 to 20 units per acre. The density for the 26 lots would be 19.85 dwelling units per acre after subtracting private easements and public roadways. 22. The subject site is located within the Renton School District. The project is expected to generate approximately 11 school age children. These students would be spread across the grades and would be assigned on a space available basis. 23. The development will increase traffic approximately 5.86 trips per multifamily unit or approximately 133 trips for this plat. Approximately ten percent of the trips, or approximately 13 additional peak hour trips will be generated in the morning and evening. 24. Stormwater would be handled by a detention vault and wet vault that would be located near the southeast comer of the property. 25. Sewer and water service will be provided by the City. Fire flow requirements, hydrant placement and utility line placements will be determined by the various units and their placement. 26. The applicants testified that the site would not be suitable for commercial uses due to the location of the property. CONCLUSIONS: First, before considering the various aspects of this proposal, this office has to note that it reluctantly supports the proposal after some modifications are submitted back to staff for review and then this office. The City specifically reclassified the zoning of this site to Commercial Arterial zoning. The site is part of a CA district that lies both north and south of NE 4th Street. The zone was primarily intended for commercial uses but permits residential uses although generally when combined in a mixed-use development. It does permit solely residential use to usurp the land when there are substantial obstacles, that is, as the code suggests when Bremerton Townhomes Preh, ary Plat File No.: LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF January 8, 2007 Page 8 "Commercial use of the property is not feasible for reasons including, but not limited to: lack of commercial frontage, lack of access, critical areas and/or critical area buffers, or property configuration." (Section 4-9-030.K). The site is almost two acres in size, almost level and generally rectangular. Granted this site is not directly on NE 4th Street but many other parcels in the areas north and south of NE 4th Street do not lie directly on that street. Not all business requires "commercial frontage." While many businesses attract patronage from mere passersby, many other businesses attract a different patronage. Accountants, lawyers, doctors, general offices and similar uses do not necessarily need commercial exposure. In addition, while the City encourages density, the applicant has pushed the property to its limit by achieving a density of 19.85 units per acre but with that they have arranged lots and the dwellings such that many of the lots do not currently meet the standards of the CA Zone and the overlay district. In many cases they have reduced the front yards or street side yards substantially. Staff has had to recommend that a number oflots or the location or style of the housing be redesigned to comply with the platting standards and the design criteria of the CA Zone and the Business Corridor standards. It clearly is a judgment call as to whether the applicant has pushed the standards too far for this project. In order to forward the plat aspect of this proposal to the City Council this office will have to be shown that the modifications requested by Staff can be accommodated. Plat I. If one presumes that the existing property is not suitable for commercial use then it might be reasonable to subdivide the property for residential use. Following that presumption, the proposed plat appears to serve the public use and interest. The redevelopment of the subject site will increase the tax base of the City and provide opportunities for ownership of small, actually, very small lots by individuals. 2. The lots are in the main rectangular and they meet code requirements for size. The lot sizes should also reflect the design standards for residential uses in the CA Zone and Proposed Lots 21 and 22 place homes on those lots too close to the street. It appears that the lot lines between Proposed Lots 21 and 22 and 23 and 24 could be shifted to provide additional street setbacks for Lots 21 and 22. If that is not possible, then one or both of those lots should be eliminated providing larger lots for the remaining homes in the cluster of Lots 19 to 26. The applicant will have to modify some of the proposed layouts to provide code mandated parking, setbacks and as noted below, design features as a tradeoff for developing small lot townhomes. 3. The access appears reasonable and has been designed to create a more regular intersection with Bremerton. Sidewalks as well as the mandated connections to surrounding property have been provided. This office will not hesitate to suggest that a regular width public street to serve these small townhomes seems like overkill and reducing the street width could free land for more substantial setbacks. 4. The applicant will have to meet landscaping requirement for the lots including landscaping on each lot and along street fronts. 5. Public services are available to serve the site and the ERC imposed conditions to offset some of the additional impacts related to redevelopment of the site. 6. In conclusion, once the applicant has submitted appropriate modifications for review by staff and this office, the City Council should approve the proposed Preliminary Plat subject to conditions noted below. Bremerton Townhomcs Prelin ,. dry Plat File No.: LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF January 8, 2007 Page 9 Conditional Use Permit 7. The applicant for a Conditional Use Permit must demonstrate that the use is in the public interest, will not impair the health, safety or welfare of the general public and is in compliance with the criteria found in Section 4-31-36 (C) which provides in part that: a. The proposal generally conforms to the Comprehensive Plan; b. There is a general community need for the proposed use at the proposed location; c. There will be no undue impacts on adpcent property; d. The proposed use is compatible in scale with the adjacent residential uses, if any; e. Parking, unless otherwise permitted, will not occur in the required yards; f. Traffic and pedestrian circulation will be safe and adequate for the proposed project; g. Noise, light and glare will not cause an adverse affect on neighboring property; h. Landscaping shall be sufficient to buffer the use from rights-of-way and neighboring property where appropriate; and 1. Adequate public services are available to serve the proposal. Subject to the reservations outlined in the opening conclusion, the requested conditional use appears justified. 8. The comprehensive plan suggests that the site be developed with commercial uses although the CA zone does permit residential development both as part of a mixed use development and, after meeting certain specifications, as stand-alone residential. This office has already noted the issues related to this criterion. 9. There always seems to be a need for housing. There also appears to be a demand for small lot and townhome layouts either for those looking for their first opportunity for homeownership or those looking to shrink their households. Of course, usurping land that could serve commercial development might not always be the best way to satisfy this need. Housing at this location makes access to commercial uses easier and walking to community shopping is possible. 10. There should not be any undue impacts on adjacent uses. Hopefully, the adjacent commercial uses do not generate too much noise as residents might complain placing pressure on those commercial uses. 11. The townhomes are low-scale and should not adversely affect adjacent residential uses. They are generally no taller than single-family homes. 12. Parking, once the applicant meets the required complement of compact/regular stalls, will be appropriate. Bremerton Townhomes Preli ry Plat File No.: LUA-06-133,PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF January 8, 2007 Page 10 13. The applicant redesigned the access street to create a more regular four-way intersection with Bremerton. The applicant has created an appropriate grid system for pedestrians to the south of the project in lieu of an unneeded vehicular connection to the south. Such a connection will allow both adults and minors to walk north and south from residential areas to commercial areas without having to walk along a larger street. 14. The applicant will be meeting the landscaping requirements of Code. Staff recommended that the landscaping along the south margin of the site meet the code requirements to buffer the single family zoning south of the site. 15. There are adequate utilities to serve the subject site. Site Plan and Business Corridor Requirements 16. The site plan ordinance provides a number of specific criteria for reviewing a site plan. Those criteria are generally represented in part by the following enumeration: a. Conformance with the Comprehensive Plan; b. Conformance with the Building and Zoning Codes; c. Mitigation of impacts on surrounding properties and uses; d. Mitigation of the impacts of the proposal on the subject site itself; e. Conservation of property values; f. Provision for safe and efficient vehicle and pedestrian circulation; g. Provision of adequate light and air; h. Adequacy of public services to accommodate the proposed use; In addition, as discussed above there are additional criteria for stand-alone residential uses in the NE 4th Street Business District. The housing must be at least 150 feet from an arterial street, there is a mix of commercial, residential and service uses within 150 feet of the proposed use, commercial use of the property is not feasible due to configuration or commercial frontage, residential uses are connected to the commercial sectors and there is a transition between the commercial and R-8 districts. The proposed use, subject to conditions recommended by staff, satisfies these and other particulars of the ordinance. 17. The proposal's compatibility with the comprehensive plan and the Zoning Code have been discussed above. Compliance with the Building Code and Fire Code will be determined when formal applications are submitted. 18. The development of the subject site should not have any adverse impacts on adjacent property outside of the short-term impacts of construction. · Bremerton Townhomes Prelin . ry Plat File No.: LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF January 8, 2007 Page 11 19. The proposed plat does appear to push the density of the plat by achieving almost its maximum, which leads to smaller yards and potential crowding. The modifications suggested by this office and staff to provide the required design elements should help offset some of those impacts, as should the addition of landscaping along the streets. All lots shall provide street landscaping as well as landscaping in the front yards. The applicant shall either increase the street setback for Proposed Lots 21 and 22 as proposed above or eliminate one or both of those lots. Those homes are located too close to the street and design elements alone will not afford appropriate relief to provide quiet residential living to homes located that close to a public street. Even easement access requires reasonable setbacks of homes from the easements. The CA zoning is not an excuse for substandard setbacks and substandard residential amenities. 20. The redevelopment of the subject site should not adversely affect property values. 21. The access and pedestrian connections appear to provide reasonable circulation to and within the subject site. The link to the south appears reasonable and is required by code. 22. The two-story townhomes are close to one another but their limited height should not impair air or light. 23. The subject site appears to have reasonable access to sewer and water services. 24. The proposed use appears to satisfy the criteria for residential use in the NE 4th Street Business Corridor subject to the conditions recommended by staff. The applicant will have to submit plans that show that the site can meet all of those requirements including new elevations that meet the criteria specified by staff. The proposed use is located more than 150 feet from NE 4th Street. The site is located within 150 feet of commercial uses. As already noted the suitability of the site for residential uses as opposed to commercial uses could be considered problematic. Staff has recommended a pedestrian connection to the R-8 property to the south of the subject site. RECOMMENDATION: The City Council should approve the Preliminary Plat subject to the following conditions: I. The applicant shall comply with all requirements of the Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated that was issued by the Environmental Review Committee on November 20, 2006. 2.

The project would be composed of two 3-unit structures and ten 2-unit structures. The project site is located on the east side of Bremerton Avenue NE and is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA) and is also located within the NE 4th Street Corridor Business District. The proposal for stand along residential within the CA zone requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Two existing residences and associated outbuildings are proposed to be removed from the project site. The applicant contends that no critical areas are located on the project site. The City's critical areas maps have identified a Class 4 stream that would be located in the vicinity of the project site; however the applicant has provided a stream study indicating that there is no stream in the vicinity of this site. A Hexrpt 06-133.doc City of Renton PIBIPW Depart BREMERTON TOWNHOMES PUBLIC HEARING DA TE: December 19, 2006 Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF Page 4 of 20 low depression is located along the north property line in the vicinity of where the City's maps identify a stream. The depression is approximately 1 O fee: deep and extends off-site to the north. The applicant indicates that the depression was created as a result of grading that was done on the property to the east as apart of a multi-family residential development. The proposal would include filling the depression. A grading easement would be obtained to fill off-site portions of the depression. The project would result in approximately 500 cubic yards of cut and 4,000 cubic yards of fill. The majority of the grading required for the project would be for the excavation of the detention vault and fill for the depression. All cut material is proposed to be used on-site. The existing drainage from the north half of the project site sheet flows across the site and into the depression. The drainage from the south half of the project site sheet flows to the southwest corner of the site. Access to the proposed lots would be provided via a new internal public street off of Bremerton Avenue NE. 2. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971 as amended), on November 20, 2006, the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M) for the Bremerton Townhomes project. The DNS-M included 6 mitigation measures. A 14-day appeal period commenced on November 27, 2006 and ended on December 11, 2006. No appeals of the threshold determination were filed. 3. COMPLIANCE WITH ERC MITIGATION MEASURES Based on an analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) issued the following mitigation measures with the Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated: 1. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations found in the geotechnical report prepared by Earth Solutions NE, LLC, dated July 19, 2006. 2. The applicant shall be required to provide a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (TESCP) designed pursuant to the Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements outlined in Volume II of the Stormwater Management Manual and provide staff with a Construction Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of Construction Permits. This condition shall be subject to the review and approval of the Development Services Division. 3. The detention system for this project shall be required to comply with the requirements found in the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual to meet both detention (Conservation Flow control -a.k.a. Level 2) and water quality improvements. 4. The applicant shall pay a Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per each new single family lot. 5. The applicant shall pay a Traffic Mitigation Fee in the amount of $75 for each new net daily trip prior to the recording of the final plat. It is anticipated that the proposed project would result in the payment of $9,991.50 (152 net new daily trips x $75 = $9,991.50). 6. Staff recommends that the applicant pay a Fire Mitigation Fee based on $388.00 per new single family lot prior to the recording of the final plat. The fee is estimated at $9,312 ($388 x 24 = $9,312). 4. STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS Representatives from various City departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and address site plan issues from the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file, and the Hexrpt 06-133.doc City of Renton P!B!PW Depart, BREMERTON TOWNHOMES Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: December 19, 2006 Page 5 of 20 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 WITH PRELIMINARY PLAT CRITERIA: Approval of a plat is based upon several factors. The following preliminary plat criteria have been established to assist decision makers in the review of the subdivision: (1) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Designation. The subject site is designated Commercial Corridor (CC) on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The CC areas evolve from "strip commercial" linear business districts to business areas characterized by enhanced_ site planning incorporating efficient parking lot design, coordinated access, amenities, and boulevard treatment. Commercial Corridor areas may include designated districts including concentrations of specialized uses such as the Auto Mall, or features such as transit stops and a combination of businesses creating a focal point of pedestrian activity and visual interest. The proposed plat is consistent with the following Commercial Corridor policies and objectives: Land Use Element Policy LU-353. Structures at Commercial Corridor intersections should not be set back from the street and sidewalk so as to allow vehicular circulation or parking to be located between the sidewalk and the building. No parking is proposed between the sidewalk and the buildings. Community Design Element Policy CD-19: During development, significant trees, either individually or in stands, should be preserved, replaced, or as a last option, relocated. The applicant will be required to retain or replace 25 percent of the significant trees located on- site. Policy CD-22: When appropriate, due to scale, use, or location, on-site open space and recreational facilities in developments should be required. Pedestrian connections are provided to each side of the development proposal where appropriate. Policy CD-45. Existing mature vegetation and distinctive trees should be retained and protected in developments. The applicant submitted a significant tree retention plan and will be required to retain or replace a minimum of 25% of the existing significant trees located onsite. Policy CD-50. Trees should be planted along residential streets, in parking lots requiring landscaping, and in other pervious areas as the opportunity arises. Trees should be retained whenever possible and maintained using Best Management Practices as appropriate for each type. A conceptual landscape plan was submitted with the project application proposing street trees along the proposed access road. In addition, a tree retention plan was also submitted. The applicant will be required to retain or replace a minimum of 25% of the existing significant trees located onsite. (2) Compliance with the Underlying Zoning Designation. The 1. 8-acre site is designated Commercial Arterial (CA) on the City of Renton Zoning Map. The proposed development would allow for the future construction of up to 26 new residential units. Hexrpt 06-133.doc Density -The density range permitted in the Northeast Fourth Corridor Business District portion of the CA zone is a minimum of 10 dwelling units per acre up to a maximum of 20 dwelling units City of Renton PIBIPW Depart1 BREMERTON TOWNHOMES Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: December 19, 2006 Page 6of 20 Hexrpt 06-133.doc per net acre. Net density is calculated after public rights-of-way, private access easements (vehicular or pedestrian), and critical areas are deducted from the gross acreage of the site. After the deduction of 15,185 square feet of proposed right-of-way dedication and 6,347 square feet of private access easements, the proposal for 26 lots would result in a net density of 19.85 dwelling units per acre (78,466 gross sq. ft. -15,185 sq. ft. -6,347 sq. ft.= 56,934 sq. ft. or 1.31 ac, 26 units/ 1.31 acres= 19.85 du/ac). The proposed plat appears to comply with density requirements for the CA zoning designation. Lot Dimensions and Size -No minimum lot size is required in the CA zone, however within the Northeast Fourth Corridor Business District a minimum lot size of 1,200 sq ft is required. There are no minimum lot width or depth requirements. The proposed plat would create 26 lots with the following sizes: Lot Number Lot Size (square feet) 1 1,525 2 1,560 3 1,920 4 1,680 5 1,680 6 2,539 7 3,102 8 1,846 9 1,978 10 2,394 11 2,174 12 1,835 13 1,674 14 1,316 15 2,315 16 2,707 17 1,522 18 2,095 19 2,072 20 4,333 21 1,487 22 1,968 23 2,245 24 3,903 25 2,551 26 2,060 Access Private Alley Private Alley Private Alley NE 3"' Court NE 3"' Court NE 3"' Court NE 3"' Court NE 3"' Court NE 3"' Court NE 3"' Court NE 3"' Court NE 3"' Court NE 3"' Court Private Street Private Street Private Street Private Street NE 3"' Court Private Access Easement Private Access Easement NE 3"' Court Private Alley Private Access Easement Bremerton Ave NE Private Alley Private Alley As proposed, all lots appear to be in compliance with the required lot width, depth and size standards as prescribed in the CA zone. Setbacks -In the CA zone, the minimum front yard setback is 10 feet and may be reduced down to zero feet through the site plan review process provided no blank walls are located within the reduced setback. In the NE 4th Corridor Business District, the maximum front yard setback permitted is 15 feet. A 10-foot side yard along a street setback is required, which may be reduced down to zero feet through the site plan review process provided no blank walls are located within the reduced setback. A 15-foot side or rear yard setback is required where the property abuts to or is adjacent to a residential zone. The proposed lots appear to contain adequate area for the construction of the proposed townhome structures. See further discussion below under Site Plan Review Criteria. City of Renton P!BIPW Depart1 BREMERTON TOWNHOMES Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: December 19, 2006 Page 7 of 20 Building Standards -The CA zone and NE 4th Corridor Business District limit the number of attached residential units to 4_ None of the proposed structures would create more than 4 attached residential units. Building height in the CA zone and NE 4th Corridor Business District is limited to 35 feet for residential uses. The proposed structures would have a height of 29 feet, which complies with this requirement. Two existing residences and detached accessory structures are proposed to be removed as a result of the construction of the proposed plat. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant obtain demolition permits and complete all required inspection prior to the recording of the final plat. The NE 4th Corridor Business District requires that the proposed structures comply with the Urban Design Regulations District B, see discussion further discussion below on the structures compliance with these regulations. Parking -Each dwelling unit is required to provide 1.75 off-street parking stalls per unit. Each proposed unit would provide parking for 2 vehicles within a 2 car garage. The proposed building pads appear to be adequately sized for the provision of the required parking. Landscaping -The City's landscaping regulations require the installation of landscaping. The minimum amount of on-site landscaping required along street frontages is 1 O feet, except where the front or side yard along a street setbacks have been reduced through the site plan review process. Where the property abuts the R-8 zone a 15-foot wide landscaped visual barrier consistent with the definition in RMC 4-11-20 is required. A 10-foot sight-obscuring landscaped strip may be allowed through the site plan review process. The applicant submitted a Conceptual landscape plan with the project application. See landscape discussion below under Site Plan Review Criteria. (3) Compliance with Subdivision Regulations Hexrpt 06-133.doc Lot Arrangement: Side lot lines are to be at right angles to street lines, and each lot must have access to a public street or road. Access may be by private access easement per the requirements of the Street Improvement Ordinance. As proposed, the lots appear to comply with arrangement and access requirements of the Subdivision Regulations. Lots: The size, shape and orientation of lots shall meet the minimum area and width requirements of the applicable zoning classification and shall be appropriate for the type of development and use contemplated. Each of the proposed lots is roughly rectangular in shape, oriented to provide front yards facing a street or private access easement, and satisfies the minimum lot area and dimension requirements of the CA zone and the NE 4th Street Corridor Business District. When considering the required setbacks, as well as access points for each lot, the proposed lots appear to have sufficient building area for the development of townhomes. Property Corners at Intersections: All lot corners at intersections of dedicated public rights-of- way, except alleys, shall have minimum radius of 15 feet. Access and Street Improvements: Access to the site is proposed via a new internal access (NE 3"' Court) road off of Bremerton Avenue NE. Full street improvements including curb, gutter, sidewalk, and street lighting are required on the new internal public street (NE 3"' Court) and along Bremerton Avenue NE. In order to ensure efficient emergency access to the development is not obstructed, staff recommends as a condition of preliminary plat approval the applicant be required to place "No Parking" signage along the private access easement, which extends off of the southern terminus of the proposed public right-of-way serving the three attached units. In addition, staff recommends a condition of approval requiring the establishment of a homeowner's association for the development, which would be responsible for any common improvements and/or tracts within the plat prior to final plat approval. Staff further recommends as a condition of approval that the Preliminary Plat be revised to extend the proposed private access easement located at the southern terminus of NE 3"' Court to the City of Renton P/B/PW Departr BREMERTON TOWNHOMES Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: December 19, 2006 Page 8 of 20 southern property line. The width of this easement may be reduced down to a minimum of 20 feet in width, however if the width of the easement were reduced the structures on proposed Lots 16 and 17 would not comply with the maximum setback requirements, therefore the location of these structures would have to be revised. The City's subdivision regulations RMC 4-7-150E.5 specifies that alley access is the preferred street pattern. The proposed layout does include 2 private alley easements. Other alley layouts were considered but were deemed infeasible due to the requirement by the Transportation Department that the proposed NE 3'' Court right-of-way line up as closely as possible with the NE 3"' Court on the west side of Bremerton Avenue NE. To mitigate impacts to the local street system, the City's Environmental Review Committee imposed mitigation on the project in the form of the requirement for payment of a Traffic Mitigation Fee. The Traffic Mitigation Fee is based on $75 per net new average daily trip attributed to the proposed subdivision. The proposal would result in the generation of 133.22 new average daily trips, with credit given for the two existing residences, (26 new townhomes x 5.86 trips per home = 152.36 -19.14 credit = 133.22). The fee for the proposed plat is estimated to be $9,991.50 ( 133.22 total trips x $75.00 = $9,991.50) and is payable prior to the recording of the plat. Topography and Vegetation: With the project application, the applicant submitted a Geotechnical Report prepared by Earth Solutions NW, LLC, dated July 19, 2006. According to the report the site topography is relatively level with the exception of the depression area located along the northern portion of the project site. Vegetation on the project site consists primarily of mature landscaping. Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (TESCP) and the use of Best Management Practices would serve to mitigate potential erosion and off-site sedimentation impacts. The project application includes a Construction Mitigation Plan, which is subject to final approval prior to the issuance of construction permits for the project. In addition, the project will be subject to the DOE manual regarding erosion control, as conditioned by the ERG. A total of 44 significant trees are located on the project site. The proposed clearing limits encompass all of the proposed lots and the proposed roadways. Additional areas outside of the proposed lots and roadways would be cleared for the installation of utility lines (storm drainage and sewer). 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. To comply with this Determination, the applicant would be required to retain or replace a total of 11 trees (replacement trees are required to be a minimum of 2-inch caliper trees). The applicant submitted a tree clearing plan, which proposes to retain 5 trees, therefore the applicant shall be required to install 6 2-inch caliper replacement trees throughout the development. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant submit a Tree Retention and Replacement Plan with the Utility Construction Permit Application to the Development Services Division project manager. The plan shall detail the tree protection measures to be implemented to ensure survival of the retained trees and shall include a planting plan showing the location of the proposed replacement trees. Relationship to Existing Uses: Commercial development is located to the north of the project site and residential development is located to the east, west, and south of the site. The proposed development would be compatible with the surrounding development. (4) Availability and Impact on Public Services (Timeliness) Hexrpt 06-133.doc Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicate that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the proposed development, subject to the applicant's provision of Code required improvements and fees. Therefore, the City's Environmental Review Committee is requiring the applicant to pay a Fire Mitigation Fee based on $388.00 per new multi-family unit. The fee is City of Renton P!BIPW Depart, Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner BREMERTON TOWNHOMES LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: December 19, 2006 Page 9 of 20 Hexrpt 06-133.doc estimated at $9,312.00 (24 new units x $388.00 = $9,312.00) and is payable prior to the recording of the plat. Recreation: The proposal does not provide on-site recreation areas for future residents of the proposed plat. However, pedestrian trail easements would connect to the properties to the north, east, and south. There are no existing recreational facilities in the immediate vicinity of the subject property. It is anticipated that the proposed development would generate future demand on existing City Parks and recreational facilities and programs. Therefore, the City's Environmental Review Committee is requiring the applicant to pay a Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per new unit. The fee is estimated at $12,738.24 (24 new lots x $530.76 = $12,738.24) and is also payable prior to the recording of the plat. Schools: The site is located within the boundaries of the Renton School District No. 403. 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. Based on the student generation factor, the proposed plat would potentially result in 11 additional students (0.44 x 24 = 11 ). The schools would include: Maplewood Elementary School, McKnight Middle School, and Hazen High School. The school district has indicated that they would be able to handle to additional students coming from the proposed development. Storm Drainage/Surface Water: A Preliminary Technical Information Report prepared by Jaeger Engineering, dated September 29, 2006 was submitted with the application materials. According to the report the existing drainage from the north half of the site sheet flows into the depression. The existing drainage from the south half of the site sheet flows to the southwest corner of the site. The proposed method of drainage control as indicated by the storm drainage report would be a detention vault and wet vault located near the southeast corner of the project site underneath the proposed private street. The City's Environmental Review Committee imposed a mitigation measure on the project requiring that the storm drainage system comply with a higher standard for flow control. The project is required to comply with the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual. A Surface Water System Development Charge, based on the current rate of $759.00 per new single-family lot, would be required prior to the issuance of construction permits for the plat. Water and Sanitary Sewer Utilities: The project site is located within the 565 Water Pressure Zone. The static pressure at the street level is approximately 70 psi. There is an existing 8-inch water main located in Bremerton Avenue NE (see City of Renton drawing W-3260 for detailed engineering plans). Per the City of Renton Fire Marshall, the preliminary fire flow is 2,500 gpm for attached units 13- 15 and 16-18 and 1,750 gpm for the remainder of the units. All of the buildings are required to be sprinklered. This project is required to install an 8-inch water main connecting to the existing main in Bremerton Avenue NE and looped through the site and connecting back to Bremerton Avenue NE. In addition, the main shall be extended to the east and connect to the existing water main (W3024). The main shall also be extended to the south in the private street to the south property line in a 15-foot easement to the City of Renton. The City of Renton requirements dictate that the lateral spacing of fire hydrants shall be predicated on hydrants being located at street intersections. The utility plan needs to be modified to show fire hydrants at both north and south public right-of-way streets and also a fire hydrant near lot 6. Each unit requires a separate water service line and meter, which will serve domestic and fire. The size is determined by a certified fire sprinkler designer, but shall be a minimum of 1-inch. Any new construction requires a fire hydrant capable of delivering a minimum of 1,000 gpm with one hydrant located within 150 feet of the structure and two additional hydrants located within 300 feet of the structure. This distance shall be measured along the travel route.

The Development Charges are collected as part of the construction permit. Please note that any parcel that currently has water service is eligible for a prorated System Development Charge. The project will be reviewed to determine how much redevelopment credit applies. There is an existing 8-inch sanitary sewer main in Bremerton Avenue NE (see City of Renton drawing S-3260 for detailed engineering plans). There is an existing 8-inch sanitary sewer main on the north and east side of this site. A sanitary sewer main extension is required to be installed by this project. The applicant shall install individual side sewers to serve the project. The site is located in the East Renton Special Assessment District (SAD 0002). These fees are $316.80 per unit and paid prior to the issuance of a construction permit. The System Development Charges are $1,017 per dwelling unit. The Development Charges are collected as a part of the construction permit. Please note that any parcel that currently has sewer service is eligible for a prorated System Development Charge. The project will be reviewed to determine how much redevelopment credit applies. 6. CONSISTENCY WITH CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA: A Conditional Use Permit is required in order to permit the construction of a stand alone residential project within the CA zone. Section 4-9-030.G lists 11 criteria that the Hearing Examiner is asked to consider, along with all other relevant information, in making a decision on a Conditional Use application. These include the following: (1) CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ZONING CODE & OTHER ORDINANCES: The proposed use shall be compatible with the general purpose, goals, objectives and standard of the Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and any other plan, program, map or ordinance of the City of Renton. (a) Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element See previous discussion above under Preliminary Plat Criteria. (b) Zoning Code The proposed townhome project is located within the Commercial Arterial (CA) zoning designation. The purpose of the Center Arterial Zone (CA) is to evolve from "strip commercial" linear business districts to business areas characterized by enhanced site planning, incorporating efficient parking lot design, coordinated access, amenities and boulevard treatment. The proposed attached townhome development would be permitted in the CA zone subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit. (c) Development Standards See previous discussion above under Preliminary Plat Criteria and further discussion below under Site Plan Review Criteria. (2) COMMUNITY NEED: Hexrpt 06-133.doc There shall be a community need for the proposed use at the proposed location. In the determination of community need, the Hearing Examiner shall consider the following factors, among all other relevant information: (a) The proposed location shall not result in either the detrimental over concentration of a particular use within the City or within the immediate area of the proposed use. The proposed project would result in the construction of for-sale residential townhomes. Nearby residential project have continued to be successful ventures, therefore the proposal would not result in an over concentration of residential units. City of Renton P/B/PW Departn BREMERTON TOWNHOMES Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: December 19, 2006 Page 11 of 20 (b) That the proposed location is suited for the proposed use. The subject site is abutting surrounding residential uses on the east, west, and south property lines and would serve as a transition to the commercial property to the north. The proposed attached townhomes would be more compatible with the surrounding residential uses than a commercial use would, as the applicant has indicated that the only viable commercial use of the subject property would be for an auto repair shop. (3) EFFECT ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES: The proposed use at the proposed location shall not result in substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property. The following site requirements shall be required: (a} Lot Coverage: Lot coverage shall conform to the requirements of zone in which the proposed use is to be located. See further discussion below under the Site Plan Review criteria. (b) Yards: Yards shall conform to the requirements of the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. Additions to the structure shall not be allowed in any required yard. See previous discussion under Preliminary Plat criteria and further discussion below under Site Plan Review criteria. (c} Height: Building and structure heights shall conform to the requirements of the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. Spires, bell towers, public utility antennas or similar structure may exceed the height requirement upon approval of a variance. Building heights should be related to surrounding used in order to allow optimal sunlight and ventilation, and minimal obstruction of views from adjacent structures. The proposed buildings would comply with the height requirements of the CA zone; see further discussion below under Site Plan Review criteria. (4) COMPATIBILITY: The subject property is located within a predominantly residential area with commercial uses located on the abutting northern properties. The proposed attached residential townhomes would serve as a transition from the higher intensity uses of the commercial area to the lower intensity single family residential uses to the south and would be compatible with the surrounding uses. (5) PARKING: Parking under the building structure should be encouraged. Lot coverage may be increased to as much as seventy-five percent (75%) of the lot coverage requirement of the zone, in which the proposed use is located, if all parking is provided underground or within the structure. All parking is proposed within attached private garages located to the side or rear of the proposed structures. See further discussion below under Site Plan Review criteria. (6) TRAFFIC: Traffic and circulation patterns of vehicles and pedestrians relating to the proposed use and surrounding area shall be reviewed for potential effects on, and to ensure safe movement in the surrounding area. Staff has reviewed the circulation patterns of potential vehicles and pedestrians. See further discussion below under Site Plan Review criteria regarding pedestrian and vehicular circulation. (7) NOISE, GLARE: Hexrpt 06-133.doc Potential noise, light and glare impacts shall be evaluated based on the location of the proposed use on the lot and the location of on-site parking areas, outdoor recreational areas and refuse storage areas. City of Renton P/8/PW Departr BREMERTON TOWNHOMES Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: December 19, 2006 Page 12 of 20 It is anticipated that the most significant noise impacts would occur during the construction phase of the project. The applicant has submitted a Construction Mitigation Plan that provides measures to reduce construction impacts such as noise, control of dust, traffic controls, etc. In addition, the project will be required to comply with the City's noise ordinance regarding construction hours. There would be noise impacts of increased traffic and activity that are normally associated with an attached townhome development. (8) LANDSCAPING: Landscaping shall be provided in all areas not occupied by building or paving. The Hearing Examiner may require additional landscaping to buffer adjacent properties from potentially adverse effects of the proposed use. See previous discussion above under Preliminary Plat criteria and further discussion below under Site Plan Review criteria. (9) ACCESSORY USES: Accessory uses to conditional uses such as day schools, auditoriums used for social and sport activities, health centers, convents, preschool facilities, convalescent homes and others of a similar nature shall be considered to be separate uses and shall be subject to the provisions of the use district in which they are located. There are no accessory uses proposed. (10) CONVERSION: No existing building or structure shall be converted to a conditional use unless such building or structure complies, or is brought into compliance, with the provisions of this Chapter. No building conversion is proposed. (11) PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS: The proposed use and location shall be adequately served by and not impose an undue burden on any public improvements, facilities, utilities, and services. Approval of a conditional use permit may be conditional upon the provision and/or guarantee by the applicant of necessary public improvements, facilities, utilities, and/or services. The proposed project will be required to install utilities and construct road improvements as mandated by the City's regulations. See previous discussion above under Preliminary Plat criteria. Section 4-9-030.K lists 6 additional Special Criteria that the Hearing Examiner is asked to consider regarding stand alone residential uses in the NE 4th Corridor Business District, along with all other relevant information, in making a decision on a Conditional Use application. These include the following: (1) Stand alone residential use may not be located within 150 feet of an adjacent or abutting arterial street. This includes Sunset Boulevard, Duvall Avenue, Anacortes Avenue, or Union Avenue in the Sunset Business District; NE 4'h Street, Union Avenue, or Duvall Avenue in the NE 4th Street Business District; and Puget Drive or South Benson Road in the Puget Drive Business District, as shown on the Business District Maps in RMC 4-3-040. The subject site is not located within 150 feet of NE 4th Street, which is the nearest arterial. (2) A mix of commercial, service, and residential uses existing within a 150-foot radius of the proposed residential use. Commercial and service uses are located on the abutting properties to the north, and residential uses are located to the east, west, and south of the project site. (3) Commercial use of the property is not feasible for reasons including, but not limited to: lack of commercial frontage, lack of access, critical areas and/or critical area buffers, or property configuration. Hexrpt 06-133.doc City of Renton PIBIPW Departt BREMERTON TOWNHOMES Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: December 19, 2006 Page 13 of 20 The applicant contends that due to the lack of frontage along NE 4th Street that commercial use of the property is not feasible except for possibly an automotive repair shop, which does not required commercial frontage. Stall has reviewed the proposal and concurs with the applicant that commercial use of the property is largely unfeasible due to the lack of commercial frontage. In addition, due to the surrounding residential uses to the east, west, and south of the project site it is more desirable to have a residential use on the subject property as opposed to an automotive repair shop, which would not be as compatible with the surrounding residential uses. (4) Residential use will augment the primary purposed of the commercial arterial zone by adding a pedestrian oriented land use that provides a physical connection between residential and commercial uses. The proposed development would provide pedestrian connections to the surrounding residential and commercial uses along the north, south, east, and west sides of the property. (5) The use provides a transition between commercial and lower density R-10 and R-8 zoned areas and provides a visual, pedestrian, and vehicular connection from the residential zoned areas to the Commercial Arterial zoned areas. The proposed development would serve as a transition from the northern commercial properties to the single family residential (R-8) properties located to the south of the site. In addition, pedestrian connections are proposed, which would provide a connection for the residential properties to the commercial properties. (6) Development standards from RMC 4-3-040F are met unless the applicant opts for a planned urban development, subject to RMC 4-9-150. Pedestrian connection standards from this section must be met without modification. The development standards as outlined in RMC 4-3-040F would be met without modification. 7. CONSISTENCY WITH SITE PLAN REVIEW CRITERIA: In reviewing the proposal with respect to the Site Plan Approval Criteria set forth in Section 4-9-200.E of the Site Plan Ordinance, the following issues have been identified by City Departmental Reviewers: 1. Conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, it's Elements and Policies; See previous discussion above under Preliminary Plat criteria. 2. Conformance with existing land use regulations; Hexrpt 06-133.doc The subject site is designated Commercial Arterial (CA) on the City's Zoning Map and is located within the NE 4th Street Corridor Business District. The proposed attached townhome development is a permitted use within the CA zone subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The compliance of the proposal with the development standards of the CA zone and NE 4th Street Corridor Business District regulations is addressed below: Lot Coverage -The CA zone allows building coverage at a maximum of 75% of the lot area as all of the parking would be contained within the individual buildings. The proposed building lot coverages range from a minimum of 17 percent to a maximum of 43 percent, which is well below the maximum 75 percent building lot coverage permitted. Setbacks -In the CA zone, the minimum front yard setback is 10 feet and may be reduced down to zero feet through the site plan review process provided no blank walls are located within the reduced setback. In the NE 4th Corridor Business District, the maximum front yard setback permitted is 15 feet. A 10-foot side yard along a street setback is required, which may be reduced down to zero feet through the site plan review process provided no blank walls are located within the reduced setback. A 15-foot side or rear yard setback is required where the property abuts to or is adjacent to a residential zone. City of Renton P!BIPW Depart, BREMERTON TOWNHOMES Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: December 19, 2006 Page 14 of 20 Hexrpt 06-133.doc The City's Urban Design Regulations define a blank wall as a ground floor wall or portion of a ground floor wall over 6 feet in height, has a horizontal length greater than 15 feet, and does not include a window, door, building modulation or other architectural detailing. The proposed structures units on Lots 1-8, 11, 16-18, 25, and 26 would all have a front yard setback between 10 and 15 feet, which complies with the minimum and maximum front yard setback requirements. The proposed structures on Lots 12-15, 19, 21, and 22 would all have front yard setbacks that are less than 10 feet. The minimum front yard setback proposed is 4 feet. Each of the front yard facades for the proposed structures on Lots 12-15 would not have blank walls located within the front yard setback as these structures provide a window, door, or building modulation every 15 feet along the ground floor. Therefore the structures proposed on Lots 12-15 would qualify for the proposed reduced front yard setbacks. The structures on Lots 19, 21, and 22 have front facades that would qualify as blank walls and would not be permitted the proposed reduced front yard setbacks. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that either the building elevations be revised showing additional architectural detailing on the front fa9ade of the buildings proposed to be located on Lots 19, 21, and 22 such that the front facades would no longer qualify as blank walls, or the site plan shall be revised providing a minimum front yard setback of 1 O feet for the structures proposed on Lots 19, 21, and 22. The revised materials shall be submitted to the Development Services project manager at the time of building permit application. The proposed structures on Lots 9, 10, 20, 23, and 24 would be located outside of the maximum 15-foot front yard setback area. The NE 4th Corridor Business District requirements do not provide for any modification of the maximum front yard setback, therefore, the proposed front yard areas for the structures on Lots 9, 10, 20, 23, and 24 shall be revised to comply with the maximum front yard setback of 15 feet. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that the site plan be revised to provided the 15-foot maximum front yard setback for the structures proposed on Lots 9, 10, 20, 23, and 24. A revised site plan shall be submitted to the Development Services Division project manager at the time of building permit application. Proposed Lots 1, 3-11, 13, 15, 19, 21-24, and 26 all have side yards along streets or access easements and would therefore be required to provide side yard along street setbacks for the proposed structures. The structures on proposed Lots 1, 6, 7, 15, 19, and 26 would comply with the required 10-foot side yard along a street setback requirements. The structures on proposed Lots 3-5, 8-10, 13, and 21-24 would provide less than the required side yard along a street setback. The minimum side yard along a street setback proposed is 2 feet. The proposed structures on Lots 3-5, 8-10, and 24 would not have blank walls located within the side yard along a street setback as these structures provide a window, door, or building modulation every 15 feet along the ground floor. Therefore the structures proposed on Lots 3-5, 8-10, and 24 would qualify for the proposed reduced side yard along a street setbacks. The structures on proposed Lots 13, and 21-23 would have blank walls within the reduced side yard along a street setback, which is not permitted. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that either the building elevations be revised showing additional architectural detailing on the side yard along a street fa9ade of the buildings proposed to be located on Lots 13, and 21-23 such that the side yard along a street facades would no longer qualify as blank walls, or the site plan shall be revised providing a minimum side yard along a street setback of 10 feet for the structures proposed on Lots 13, and 21-23. The revised materials shall be submitted to the Development Services project manager at the time of building permit application. A 15-foot side yard setback is required for the structures proposed on Lots 15 and 16 as these lots abut an R-8 zone. The proposed structures exceed the minimum 15-foot side yard. Landscaping -The City's landscaping regulations require the installation of landscaping. The minimum amount of on-site landscaping required along street frontages is 10 feet, except where the front or side yard along a street setbacks have been reduced through the site plan review process. Where the property abuts the R-8 zone a 15-foot wide landscaped visual barrier consistent with the definition in RMC 4-11-120 is required. A 10-foot sight-obscuring landscaped strip may be allowed through the site plan review process. The applicant submitted a Conceptual landscape plan with the project application. The submitted landscape plan provides a 10-foot City of Renton PIBIPW Depart .. BREMERTON TOWNHOMES Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner L UA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: December 19, 2006 Page 15 of 20 Hexrpt 06·133.doc landscape strip along all street frontages, except where the front and side yard along a street setbacks are proposed to be reduced. Along the southern property line, where the site abuts an R-8 zone, a 15-foot wide landscape visual barrier is proposed along the side yard of Lot 16, and a 10-foot wide sight-obscuring landscape strip is proposed along the side yard of Lot 15 due to the proposal for a 5-foot pedestrian access easement providing access to the property to the east. After looking at the approved site plan for the proposed project to the east, it appears that the proposed pedestrian access easement at this location would terminate in what will eventually be someone's back yard. Staff recommends that the proposed pedestrian access easement located along the southern property line of Lot 15 be removed and replaced with landscaping to provide a 15-foot landscaped visual barrier along the southern property line of Lot 15. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that a revised landscape plan be submitted with the building permit application for Lot 15 providing a 15-foot landscape visual barrier for review and approval by the Development Services Division project manager. Height -The CA zone allows a maximum building height of 35 feet for residential structures. The proposed structures would have a height of 29 feet, which is below the maximum height permitted. Pedestrian Connections -All development in the CA zone within the NE 41 " Street Corridor Business District is required to provide a minimum of one pedestrian connection from the entry of each building to the street and sidewalks, and a minimum of one pedestrian connection is required from each side of a property to commercial and/or residential uses. The submitted preliminary plat map identifies a minimum of one pedestrian connection to each side of the property. The sidewalks required along the new NE 3"' Court would connect pedestrians out towards Bremerton Avenue NE, a 5-foot pedestrian access easement on the northeast portion of the site would connect pedestrians to the north and east property lines, and a pedestrian connection located on the southeast portion of the site would connect pedestrians to the Laurelhurst Division 3 Preliminary Plat to the south. An additional pedestrian connection is identified on the southeast portion of the site connecting to the property to the east; however after looking at the approved site plan for this property it appears that a pedestrian connection at this location would terminate in someone's backyard. Therefore, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the proposed 5-foot pedestrian access easement located along the southern property line connecting to the property to the east be removed. A revised plat map showing the removal of this easement shall be submitted prior to the approval of the final plat to the Development Services Division project manager for review and approval. All pedestrian connections shall comply with the design standards at outlined under RMC 4-3- 040F .1 .e. ii. Parking -The parking regulations require a specific number of off-street parking stalls based on the proposed use. A maximum of 1.75 parking spaces per dwelling units may be permitted. When the unit of measurement determining the number of parking spaces required results in the requirements of a fractional space, any fraction up to 0.5 spaces shall be disregarded and any fraction 0.5 spaces and above shall count as one space. Therefore, each dwelling unit shall be required to provide 2 parking spaces. Each proposed townhome has proposed 2 spaces each within a private garage. All code required spaces must comply with the dimensional requirements of the parking regulations. For standard stalls, each stall must be a minimum of 20 feet long and a minimum of 9 feet wide. The applicant's site plan proposes to provide compact parking stalls on Lots 1-6. As the parking provided throughout the development would not be shared parking, the parking requirements would be calculated for each proposed town home unit. The minimum amount of compact stalls permitted per unit would be 30 percent. As, the units would only have 2 parking stalls within the garages the provision of 30 percent of the stalls as compact stalls would result in 1 stall being permitted to comply with the compact stall dimensions. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that the site plan be revised to provide a maximum of 1 compact parking stall within the private garages proposed for Lots 1-6. The revised site plan shall be submitted to the Development Services Division project manager for review and approval with the submittal for the building permit application. City of Renton PIBIPW Depart, BREMERTON TOWNHOMES Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: December 19, 2006 Page 16 of 20 Refuse and Recyclable Deposit Areas The location and pick up of the service elements shall be approved by Waste Management. Currently it appears that the service elements for each town home would be located within each individual unit. The City's refuse and recyclable deposit area regulations do not apply to attached duplex structures, but would be applicable to the triplex structures. Therefore, staff recommends as a condition of approval that a modification to the Refuse and Recyclable requirements be submitted with the building permit applications for the triplex structures exempting them from the common collection area requirement of this section if Waste Management determines that common collection areas for the refuse and recyclable deposit areas would not be required. 3. Mitigation of impacts to surrounding properties and uses; The proposed residential project is not anticipated to result in any adverse impacts to surrounding properties and uses. The properties to the east, west, and south are all have residential uses on them and the properties to the north have commercial uses on them. The proposal for the construction of townhomes on the subject site would provide a transition from the commercial uses to the north to the single family residential uses to the south. In addition, pedestrian connections are proposed, which would connect pedestrian in developments to the south of this site to the commercial area to the north. There are potential short-term impacts to adjacent properties (e.g., noise), which would result from the construction of the project. These impacts will be mitigated by the applicant's construction mitigation plan, which limits work and haul hours to those permitted by City Code. Long term impacts included increased traffic associated with a residential townhome development. These impacts were anticipated through the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning process. 4. Mitigation of impacts of the proposed site plan to the site; The proposed residential structures are oriented to provide front yards facing the new public street (NE 3'" Court) or a private access easement. Each structure would have an individual backyard that would be located away from any street frontages and the landscape plan proposes to landscape along the perimeter property lines with shrubs, which will provide some privacy for the residents. 5. Conservation of area-wide property values; The proposal would allow existing surrounding uses to continue operating in their present locations and would not result in a reduction of surrounding property values. 6. Safety and efficiency of Vehicle and Pedestrian Circulation; The proposed project would provide access to Bremerton Avenue NE via the proposed public street NE 3•d Court. In addition, pedestrian sidewalks along the new public right-of-way as well as private pedestrian access easements are proposed to provide safe and efficient pedestrian access throughout the site and to other abutting sites. See previous discussions regarding access under the Preliminary Plat Criteria and pedestrian connections. 7. Provision of adequate light and air; The proposed buildings are designed appropriately to allow adequate light and air circulation to the buildings and the site. The design of the buildings will not result in excessive shading of the property. In addition, there is ample area surrounding the building to provide for normal airflow. 8. Mitigation of noise, odors and other harmful or unhealthy conditions; Hexrpt 06-133.doc The proposal is not expected to create any harmful or unhealthy conditions. Noise, dust, and odors, which may result from the temporary construction on the site, will be mitigated by the applicant's construction mitigation plan and code requirements for the use of Best Management Practices.

Availability of public services and facilities to accommodate the proposed use; See previous discussion above under Preliminary Plat Criteria. 10. Prevention of neighborhood deterioration and blight. No deterioration or blight is expected to occur as a result of the proposal. The site is proposed to be developed with attached townhome units that would be compatible with existing commercial and residential uses in the surrounding neighborhood. 11. Review of Compliance to District B Design Guidelines. Hexrpt 06-133.doc The Bremerton Townhomes project site is subject to the District B Urban Center Design Regulations. The Hearing Examiner shall have the authority of approve, approve with conditions, or deny proposals based on the provisions of the design regulations. In rendering a decision, the Hearing Examiner will consider proposals on the bases of individual merit, will consider the overall intent of the minimum standards and guidelines, and encourage creative design alternatives in order to achieve the purposes of the design regulations. Site Design and Building Location Site Design and Street Pattern: Maintain existing grid street pattern The proposed project would not adversely impact the existing grid street pattern in the surrounding neighborhood. The City does not anticipate the need for the proposed street system to connect to adjacent properties due to the current adequate provision of access to the neighborhood. Building Location and Orientation: Orient Buildings to the street with clear connections to the sidewalk. All of the buildings would be oriented towards a street or private access easement and would provide clear connections to the sidewalks from the front doors and/or driveways. Building Entries A primary entrance of each building shall be located on the far;ade facing a street. Such entrances shall be prominent, visible from the street, connected by a walkway to the public sidewalk, and include human scale elements. Secondary access (not fronting on a street) should have weather protection at least four and one-half feet wide over the entrance or other similar indicator of access. Each of the proposed buildings is oriented to provide a front yard facing towards the new public street (NE 3"' Court) or a private access easement. The building entrances as showing on the building elevations would be prominent and visible from the street. A direct connection would be provided to the public street. Each of the secondary pedestrian entry to the proposed buildings shall have weather protection at least 4 Yz feet wide over the entrance. The requirement applies to the side and/or rear entries on Buildings A, B-F, G-H, I, & L. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that revised building elevations showing 4 Y, feet of weather protection over each of the side and rear secondary pedestrian entries be submitted with the building permit applications for review and approval by the Development Services Division project manager. Transition to Surrounding Development Careful siting and design treatment is necessary to achieve a compatible transition where new buildings differ from surrounding development in terms of building height, bulk, and scale. At least one of the following design elements shall be considered to promote a transition to surrounding uses: Setbacks at the side or rear of a building may be increased in order to reduce the bulk and scale of larger buildings and so that sunlight reaches adjacent yards; or Building City of Renton P/B!PW Departr BREMERTON TOWNHOMES Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA-06-133, PP, CU-A, SA-A, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: December 19, 2006 Page 18of 20 Hexrpt 06-133.doc articulation provided to divide a larger architectural element into smaller pieces; or Roof lines, roof pitches, and roof shapes designed to reduce apparent bulk and transition with existing development. Where the proposed townhomes abut a single family (R-8) zone, the side yard setbacks have been increased to 15 feet to reduce the impact of the multi-family development on a single family use. Service Element Location and Design Service elements shall be located and designed to minimize impacts on the pedestrian environment, concentrated, and located where easily accessible to service vehicles. In addition, to the enclosure requirements addressed in the development standards the design regulations required that service areas be enclosed on all sides including the roof to prevent the attraction of birds to the service areas. See previous discussion above under Refuse and Recyclable Deposit Areas. If it is determined that a common collection area would be provided for the refuse and recyclable deposit areas, the design and screening of the collection area shall be consistent with this section. Parking and Vehicular Access Location of Parking No surface parking shall be located between a building and the front property line or the building and side property line on the street side of a corner lot. No surface parking is proposed. Vehicular Access Parking lots and garages shall be accessed from alleys when available. Access to the individual parking garages would be provided off of an alley when available. Landscaping/Recreation Areas/Common Open Space Landscaping All pervious areas are required to be landscaped and the landscaping shall be consistent with the design intent of the development and shall reinforce the concept of the development. Street trees are required and shall be between the curb and buildings. A landscape plan was submitted with the application materials. The proposed landscaping would include street trees located between the buildings and the sidewalk. The proposed landscaping would enhance the proposed development and would provide a vegetative theme throughout. Recreation Areas and Common Open Space Attached housing developments shall provide a minimum area of private usable open space equal to 150 square feet per unit of which 100 square feet are contiguous. Such space may include porches, balconies, yards, and decks. Each proposed unit would have an excess of 150 square feet of open space within the front and/or rear yard areas. Building Architectural Design Building Character and Massing All building facades shall include modulation or articulation at intervals of no more than 20 feet. Building facades should be modulated and/or articulated with architectural elements to reduce the apparent size of new buildings, break up long blank walls, add visual interest, and enhance the character of the neighborhood. Articulation, modulation, and their intervals should create a sense of scale important to residential buildings. A variety of modulations and articulations should be employed to add visual interest and to reduce the bulk and scale of large projects.

Staff recommends that the street or front elevation of Building A be revised to include additional horizontal or vertical change in plane of the fa<;:ade or some variation in the materials used along the base of the fa,;:ade and that the rear fa,;:ade be revised to include additional horizontal or vertical change in plane. The rear elevation of Buildings B-F shall be revised to include a horizontal or vertical change in plane on the fa,;:ade or some additional variation in the materials used along the base of the fa,;:ade. Staff recommends that the weather protection proposed over the primary entrances to Buildings G-H be revised to mimic the pitch and materials used on the roofs. The rear fa<;:ade of Buildings J & K require additional modulation and articulation. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that revised building elevations be submitted to the Development Services Division project manager for review and approval with the building permit applications. Ground-Level Details Untreated blank walls visible from public streets, sidewalks, or interior pedestrian pathways are prohibited. A wall is considered a blank wall if: It is a ground floor wall or portion of a ground floor wall over 6 feet in height, has a horizontal length greater than 15 feet and does not include a window door, building modulation or other architectural detailing. See previous discussion above under setbacks. Building Roof Lines Buildings containing predominantly residential uses should have pitched roof with a minimum slope of one to four. Such roof should have dormers or intersecting roof forms that break up the massiveness of a continuous, uninterrupted sloping roof. The roof color shall be dark. The proposed roofs all have slopes that exceed the minimum one to four required. In addition, intersecting roof forms are proposed to break up the sloping roof. Building Materials All sides of buildings visible from a street, pathway, parking area, or open space shall be finished on all sides with the same building materials, detailing, and color scheme, or if different, with materials of the same quality. Buildings shall employ material variations such as colors, brick or metal banding, patterns, or textural changes. The proposed building facades include the same materials around the buildings. H.

The proposed Bremerton Ave. Townhome Plat is an application for a 26 lot single family attached residential subdivision situated on 2 existing lots with a total area of 1.80 acres. It is located on the east side of Bremerton Ave. NE. approximately 300' south of NE 4th St. This project will require preliminary plat approval, a conditional use permit, a site plan approval and a SEPA determination by the City of Renton. The site is zoned CA and is within the NE 4th St. Corridor Business District. The proposed product will be a attached townhomes with a mixture of 2 and 3 unit buildings. Each unit will have its own lot. The surrounding properties to the north, east and west are also similarly zoned CA. with the property to the south being zoned R-8. The site is currently has 2 existing residences. All of the existing houses and garages/sheds will be removed. Both of the existing houses have driveways connected to Bremerton Ave. NE. A recently constructed plat. Ridgeview Court. is adjacent to the site. across Bremerton Ave. NE to the west. There are no wetlands. steep slopes or any sensitive areas on this site. There is a low depression along the north property line. This depression is approx. 1 O' deep and extends off-site to the north. to the adjacent Bank drive-thru driveway. This depression will be filled. The depression was mostly formed by the filling of the property to the east. as the grading for an approved multi-family development. A grading easement will be obtained from the adjacent property (Bank) to fill their portion. The steepest slope is approx. 25% along the south bank of the depression, northwest of the existing northern house. There are some similar slopes along most sides of the depression. The soils on the site are a silty sand, with some and silt loam. The site is dominated by residential landscaping with few trees. There are approx. 30 trees that are spread throughout the plat. The existing drainage from the north half of the site sheet flows into the depression. The existing drainage from the south half of the site sheet flows to the southwest corner of the site. The proposed use of the property as a 26 lot attached town home residential subdivision will be consistent with the surrounding developments. All of the surrounding properties except for the parcels to the south, are developed. The proposed lots will range in size from the minimum of 1525 SF to a maximum of 4743 SF (including access and drainage easements). The density of the plat is 19.85 units per acre in the CA zone. Access to the new lots will be from a new internal public street that runs east/west and is connected to Bremerton Ave. NE. This street will • ' be provided with a hammerhead turnaround at the east end. There will be a short public road stub to the southeast with a private road extension to serve the southeastern portion of the development. The new streets are proposed to be 32' wide residential streets with a 42' right-of-way. The reduced ROW will be wide enough to accommodate the street and sidewalks on both sides. The reduced ROW width is needed to keep the net plat area at a maximum to stay under the maximum density. 2 private alleys will provide access to the buildings that front Bremerton Ave. NE. Bremerton Ave. NE is currently improved on the west side (by Ridgeview Court) but not on the east side. The proposed plat will construct the east side of the street to complete the full road section. A new water main and sewer main will be installed in the new plot street. The water main will be run through the site and connected to a future water main in the multi-family project to the east. The water and sewer service is provided by the City of Renton. The finished lots ore estimated to be worth approx. $150,000 for a total value of approx. 3.9 million dollars. The value of the lots with preliminary approval only is estimated to be $2.6 million dollars. The site will require substantial grading to bring the depression up to finished grade. The depression will need to be filled for approx. 8' in depth. The building pads for the lots will also require some minor grading but nothing over 4 feet. The main grading activity will be associated with the excavation for the detention vault and the fill for the depression. The estimated amount of grading is 500 CY for cut and 4000 CY for fill. It is anticipated that the site will use some of the cut material on-site, but the majority will be imported. There ore numerous trees on the site. There are approx. 30 trees on the site. Most of the trees will need to be removed due to conflicts with the roods, utilities and building pods. Land that will be dedicated to the City include the internal public roods and the public alley. The lots will be sold by the developer to one or several builders or investors. The future builders will likely use model homes and temporary job trailers. y.

PROJECT DESC.~lf'.TION (CONT.) E nmental Review Committee Staff Report LUA06-133, CU-A, ECF, SA-A PP Page 2of7 The proposal would result in the construction of 26 attached townhome units on 26 lots. The project would be composed of two 3-unit structures and ten 2-unit structures. The project site is located on the east side of Bremerton Avenue NE and is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA) and is also located within the NE 4th Street Corridor Business District. Two existing residences and associated outbuildings are proposed to be removed from the project site. The applicant contends that no critical areas are located on the project site. The City's critical areas maps have identified a Class 4 stream that would be located in the vicinity of the project site; however the applicant has provided a stream study indicating that there is no stream in the vicinity of this site. A low depression is located along the north property line in the vicinity of where the City's maps identify a stream. The depression is approximately 10 feet deep and extends off-site to the north. The applicant indicates that the depression was created as a result of grading that was done on the property to the east as apart of a multi-family residential development. The proposal would include filling the depression. A grading easement would be obtained to fill off-site portions of the depression. The project would result in approximately 500 cubic yards of cut and 4,000 cubic yards of fill. The majority of the grading required for the project would be for the excavation of the detention vault and fill for the depression. All cut material is proposed to be used on-site. The existing drainage from the north half of the project site sheet flows across the site and into the depression. The drainage from the south half of the project site sheet flows to the southwest corner of the site. Access to the proposed lots would be provided via a new looped internal public street off of Bremerton Avenue NE. A private street would provide access off of the new public street to the south east corner of the project site. Eight joint use driveways are proposed to be placed within access easements to provide access to the majority of the 2-unit town home structures. B.

Staff recommends that the applicant pay a Fire Mitigation Fee based on $388.00 per new single family lot prior to the recording of the final plat. The fee is estimated at $9,312 ($388 x 24 = $9,312). D. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS In compliance with RCW 43.21 C. 240, the following project environmental review addresses only those project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations. 1. Earth With the project application, the applicant submitted a Geotechnical Report prepared by Earth Solutions NW, LLC, dated July 19, 2006. According to the report the site topography is relatively level with the exception of the depression area located along the northern portion of the project site. Vegetation on the project site consists primarily of mature landscaping. According to a referenced geologic map, the site is underlain with glacially consolidated till deposits. The King County Soil Survey identifies Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AgC) as underlying the project site. The applicant's geotechnical engineer excavated 5 test pits throughout the site. The submitted geotech report states that relatively consistent soil and groundwater conditions were encountered throughout the project site. Topsoil was encountered in the top four to 12 inches of soil, however deeper areas of topsoil could exist on-site due to variable topographic changes. Fill was encountered in the next three to four feet of soil in Test Pits 4 and 5 and consisted of loose silty sand with gravel fill containing trace to moderate amounts of debris and organics. Underlying the topsoil and fill, native soils were encountered in all of the test pits. The native soils consisted of silty sand and silty sand with gravel soils in topographically higher areas and sand and gravel in topographically lower areas. Groundwater was encountered at depths of 7 Y, to 8 feet below existing grade in Test Pits 4 and 5. The geotech report concludes that the soil conditions found during the fieldwork generally correlated with the geologic map designation and the King County Soil Survey with the exception of the conditions found along the northern portion ·of the prop.erty, which consisted of recessional outwash type sand and gravel deposits. The report provided recommendations for site preparation and earthwork, excavation and slopes, rockeries and modular block walls, utility trench backfill, pavement sections, foundations, slab-on-grade floors, retaining walls, and drainage. Due to the potential for impacts that could occur during construction, staff recommends as a mitigation measure that construction of the project be required to comply with the recommendations found in the geotechnical report prepared by Earth Solutions NW, LLC, dated July 19, 2006 that was submitted with the project application. The applicant's SEPA checklist indicates that earthwork activities are estimated at 500 cubic yards of cut and 4,000 cubic yards of fill. The majority of the grading would result from the excavation of the stormwater detention vault and the fill required for the depression area located along the northern portion of the project site. Due to the potential for erosion to occur from the subject site, staff recommends a mitigation measure that requires the applicant to comply with the Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements as outlined in Volume II of the Stormwater Management Manual. Mitigation Measures: 1. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations found in the geotechnical report prepared by Earth Solutions NE, LLC, dated July 19, 2006. ercrpLbremertontownhomes City of Renton P/BIPW Department BREMERTON TOWNHOMES REPORT OF November 20, 2006 E ,mental Review Committee Staff Report LUA06-133, CU-A, ECF, SA-A, PP Page 4 of 7 2. The applicant shall be required to provid_e_9_Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control PJ!,t_ri_ (TESCP) designed pursuant to the Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements outlined in Volume 11 of the Stormwater Management Manual and provide staff with a Construction Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of Construction Permits. This condition shall be subject to the review and approval of the Development Services Division. Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations 2. Water -Stormwater A Preliminary Technical Information Report prepared by Jaeger Engineering, dated September 29, 2006 was submitted with the application materials. According to the report the existing drainage from the north half of the site sheet flows into the depression. The existing drainage from the south half of the site sheet flows to the southwest corner of the site. The proposed method of drainage control as indicated by the storm drainage report would be a detention vault and wetvault located near the southeast corner of the project site underneath the proposed private street. The City's Plan Review Section has reviewed the submitted drainage report. Due to downstream drainage problems, staff recommends a mitigation measure that would require the project to comply with the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual to meet both detention (Conservation Flow control -a.k.a. Level 2) and water quality improvements. The report and design submitted with the application appear to have complied with the 2005 design requirements. Mitigation: The detention system for this project shall be required to comply with the requirements found in the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual to meet both detention (Conservation Flow control - a.k.a. Level 2) and water quality improvements. Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations, King County Surface Water Design Manual 3. Plants The site is currently vegetated with 42 significant trees and mature landscape areas. A total of 3 of the existing significant trees are proposed to be retained on the central portion of the project site. The remainder of trees would be removed for the construction of building pads, roadways, the stormwater vault, and the installation of utility lines. A total of 25 percent of existing trees are required to be retained or replaced on-site. The proposal to retain 3 trees would result in a retention rate of 7 percent. A total of 8 2-inch caliper trees will be required to be planted to comply with the significant tree retention/replacement requirements. Mitigation: No further mitigation is recommended Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations 4. Recreation The proposal does not provide on-site recreation areas for future residents of the proposed plat. However, a pedestrian trail easement is proposed to connect to the R-8 zoned properties to the east. It is anticipated that the proposed development would generate future demand on existing City parks and recreational facilities and programs. Therefore, staff recommends a mitigation measure requiring that the applicant pay a Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530. 76 per each new single-family lot. The fee is estimated at $12,738.24 (24 new lots (credit given for existing residences) x $530.76 = $12,738.24) and is payable prior to the recording of the final plat.

The City's street standards require that residential access roads have a right-of-way width of 42 feet with 32 feet of paving, sidewalks, curb and gutter, and street lighting. A modification has been approved to permit a 30-foot wide public street with 28 feet of paving, sidewalks, curb and gutter, and street lighting. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared by Gibson Traffic Consultants, dated September 27, 2006 was submitted with the project application. According to the TIA, the proposed project would result in the addition of 152 new average daily trips. It is anticipated that the proposed project would result in impacts to the City's street system. Therefore, staff recommends a mitigation measure requiring the payment of a Traffic Mitigation Fee in the amount of $75 for each new net daily trip prior to the recording of the final plat. It is anticipated that the proposed project would result in the payment of $9,991.50 (152 net new daily trips x $75 = $9,991.50). Mitigation: The applicant shall pay a Traffic Mitigation Fee in the amount of $75 for each new net daily trip prior to the recording of the final plat. It is anticipated that the proposed project would result in the payment of $9,991.50 (152 net new daily trips x $75 = $9,991.50). Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations 6. Emergency Services The proposal will add new residential units to the City that will potentially impact the City's Police and Fire Emergency Services. Staff recommends a mitigation measure requiring the applicant to pay a Fire Mitigation Fee, based on $388.00 per new lot prior to the recording of the final plat. The fee is estimated at $9,312 ($388 X 24" $9,312). Mitigation: Staff recommends that the applicant pay a Fire Mitigation Fee based on $388.00 per new single family lot prior to the recording of the final plat.

Revisions to the proposed preliminary plat layout and a revised density worksheet are required in order to continue processing the preliminary plat. The City's street standards for private streets (RMC 4-6-060J) state that "Private streets are allowed for access to six or fewer lots, provided at least two of the six lots abut a public right-of-way. Private streets will only be permitted if a public street is not anticipated by the Planning/Building/Public Works Department to be necessary for existing or future traffic and/or pedestrian circulation through the subdivision or to serve adjacent property." This section further requires that the minimum easement width for a private street be 26 feet wide with 20 feet of paving. The proposed preliminary plat layout identifies a 24-foot width private street, which is 2 feet less than the minimum width required. The preliminary plat layout shall be revised to widen the private street to the minimum required 26-foot width. In addition, the private street shall be extended to the southern property line to serve as secondary access for future development of the parcel to the south. Please note that staff is looking into potentially requiring the dedication of the private street as a public right-of way and this may become a condition of preliminary plat approval. The City's street standards for shared driveways (RMC 4-6-060K) state that "A shared private driveway may be pem1itted for access to two lots. The private access easement shall be a minimum of20 feet in width, with a minimum of 12 feet of paving." The proposed preliminary plat layout identifies 12-foot wide shared driveway easements serving the proposed duplex structures, which is 8 feet less than the minimum width required. The preliminary plat layout shall be revised to widen the proposed 12-foot wide shared driveway easements to 20 feet in width with 12 feet of paving. -------l-05_5_S_o_u_th_G_r_ad_y_W_a_y ___ R_e-nt-on-.-W-a-s-hi-ng_t_on-98_0_5_5-------'--'-~ @ This paper contains 50'% recycled material. 30% post consumer AHEAD OF THE CURVE • The required revisions to the proposed private street and shared driveway easements would affect the density of the proposed project and would likely result in a reduction in the number of lots that may be permitted. A revised density worksheet including the revised private access easement areas shall be submitted with the revised preliminary plat map. Please submit 3 copies and 1 reduced 8 Y2 by 11 inch PMT of a revised preliminary plat map and 3 copies of a revised density worksheet. If these items are not submitted by November 30, 2006, then your project will be placed on hold and the public hearing scheduled for December 19, 2006 will have to be rescheduled.

COMMERCIAL ARTERIAL CRITERIA JUSTIFICATION Whom it May Concern City of Renton Development Services Division 1055 South Grady Way Renton, WA 98055 FROM: Gregory D. Blount, DAps DATE: 25 October 2006 PROJECT LOCATION: 330 Bremerton Ave NE Renton, WA 98059 PROJECT NAME: Bremerton Avenue Townhouses Conditional Use Permit Justification Marc Rousso RE: COPY: Please consider the following written justification in favor of the application. Herein we address the Special Decision Criteria for Stand-Alone Residential Uses in the Northeast 4th Business District criteria. This format follows the criteria listed under Item "K" in the packet. 1. Our site is more than 150' from the south edge of NE 41h. This site has no frontage on NE 4th and has no frontage on Duvall Avenue in the NE 4th Street Business District. Therefore this site qualifies for stand-alone residential use. 2. There is a mix of commercial, service and residential uses immediately adjacent to our site and within 150' of our site, thus: North-Commercial (Bank), West-Residential, South-Residential and East-Commercial. 3. There is no street frontage on NE 4th and therefore no direct access to NE 4th. This makes it economically infeasible to construct any commercial building except perhaps an automotive shop which doesn't require street frontage. 4. To augment the commercial arterial zone, we have provided a pedestrian connection from the south, throu~h our site to the Bremerton Avenue sidewalk, which extends north to the Commercial Arterial NE 4 h to the north of our site. Our project provides twenty-six, close-in, new, owner- occupied townhouse homes that will be purchased and occupied by a service users and product consumers. The use proposed is consistent with what is, in our opinion, the best use of the property. 5. We provide a connection from lower density to higher density with our walkway. Townhouse residential development, with a residential architectural character precisely transitions between residential and commercial use and scale. It is larger and more robust than single-family, and provides more articulation and open-space than commercial. 6. The project is subject to review and approval by City of Renton Planning/Building/Public Works Department and is required to meet all Development Standards from RMC 4-3-040F. We believe the project, as submitted, already meets these standards. The pedestrian connection provided similarly meets standards, and is subject to review and approval.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT JUSTIFICATION Whom it May Concern City of Renton Development Services Division 1055 South Grady Way Renton, WA 98055 FROM: Gregory D. Blount, DAps DATE: 12 October 2006 PROJECT LOCATION: 330 Bremerton Ave NE Renton, WA 98059 PROJECT NAME: Bremerton Avenue Townhouses Conditional Use Permit Justification Marc Rousso RE: COPY: Hugh Schaeffer; DAps Please consider the following reasons in favor of the application, which address the following criteria. Also please consider the documentation submitted with the Conditional Use Permit Application. Our format follows the analysis criteria listed in the packet. Comprehensive Plan: • Comp Plan Designation is "Commercial Corridor." Commercial Arterial zoned areas should include an opportunity for residential uses (Policy LU-338). Zoning is CA "commercial arterial." Parking is (per LU-363) in parking structures (attached garages). • This area is characterized by new and existinj housing developments and single-family off 4'" and mostly commercial development along 4 itself. The property in question (site) does not abut NE 4'". There are other new housing developments in the immediate vicinity and a similar townhouse development nearby north of 4~ (Cobblestone Court). • This corridor is within the urban growth area boundaries and is served by transit along 4'". • City review of SEPA requirements, re traffic, tree removal, noise etc. will assess impact of the proposed development and mitigate these impacts if necessary. • The project will comply with all zoning standards except for front yard setback (for the new porch structures) along the new proposed public street and alley. • Fire Department access via looped roadway/alley system. There is one short dead-end well under 150' in length. • Guest parking is provided on the new public street located on the site and in new driveways. • Stormwater detention is located in underground vaults: See Civil drawings. Community Need: • Nearby, new housing and commercial development have recently been completed and are, by all accounts, successful ventures for their respective speculative developers. This for-sale project is targeted to middle-income purchasers. • Mixed-use neighborhood, close-in • A primary marketing feature will be the price for this new, owned housing opportunity. • The developer has conducted a market analysis and has identified a demand for this product. Effect on Adjacent Properties; • The property sits at a grade below the commercial property to the north, as a result of a slope toward the south from the bank parking lot. The commercial building itself is located north of a A Professional Services Corporation 115 Bell St. Seattle, WA 98121 (206)441-7705 Fax: (206)441-5373 E-Mail: daps@drisarch.com Conditional Use Permit Justification Bremerton Avenue Townhouses 12 October 2006 parking lot adjacent to this site. These facts. in addition to the location of the new public alley along the north portion of our site separate and mitigate the impact of the proposed development to the north. • There is a new commercial development to the east. The residential scale of our development and separation between the duplex and triplex structures along our east property line, in combination with the ten-foot rear yard setback along our east property line reduce the effect on the adjacent property to the east. • The new single-family development to the west of our property is across Bremerton Avenue and is a similar and compatible residential scale. We do not anticipate any aesthetic or significant impact that would not be addressed by SEPA. • The R-8 zoned property to the south is likely to be developed in the future and is currently in residential use. There will be a new pedestrian connection from the properties to the south. • Bremerton Avenue to the west separates this project from the residential development and vacant properties to the west. Bremerton Avenue is largely improved already and accesses several new residential developments to the south and west. SEPA impacts will be mitigated as required during the course of plan review. • There are only 26 residential units. Other Items: • Compatibility o Residential scale, traditional residential architectural detailing. • Parking o Two garage stalls per unit. Some units have driveway parking for guests. Two off-street guest stalls are provided. Numerous public parking stalls (for guests) will be available on the public street. • Traffic o See traffic report. • Noise, Glare o Residential use. Construction noise will be limited to construction hours only and will cease with completion of construction. Architectural exterior lighting will be shielded and street lighting will be to City standards. • Landscaping o See Landscape Plans • Accessory Uses o None; N/A • Conversion o NIA • Public Improvements o New street and alley to be built to City standards. Looped access provided. • Lot Coverage o See Civil Plans • Yards o All yards comply with the zoning code except front yards on new public streets and roads have residential covered entry porches located in required front yards. • Height o Maximum building height is approximately 36 feet; see elevation drawings.

Commercial use of the property is not feasible for reasons including, but not limited to: lack of commercial frontage, lack of ac- cess, critical areas and/or critical area buff- ers, or property configuration. 4. Residential use will augment the primary purpose of the commercial arterial zone by adding a pedestrian oriented land use that provides a physical connection between resi- dential and commercial uses. 5. The use provides a transition between commercial and lower density R-10 and R-8 zoned areas and provides a visual, pedes- trian, and vehicular connection from the resi- dential zoned areas to the Commercial Arterial zoned areas. 6. Development standards from RMC 4-3-040F are met unless the applicant opts for a planned urban development, subject to RMC 4-9-150. Pedestrian connection stan- dards from this section must be met without modification. (Ord. 5191, 12-12-2005) L. DECISION AND CONDITIONS: The governing authority may grant, with or with- out conditions, or deny the requested conditional use permit.

TOWNHOMES PRELIMINARY PLAT PROJECT NARRATIVE The proposed Bremerton Ave. Townhome Plat is an application for a 26 lot single family attached residential subdivision situated on 2 existing lots with a total area of 1.80 acres. It is located on the east side of Bremerton Ave. NE, approximately 300' south of NE 4th St. This project will require preliminary plat approval, a conditional use permit, a site plan approval and a SEPA determination by the City of Renton. The site is zoned CA and is within the NE 4th St. Corridor Business District. The proposed product will be a attached townhomes with a mixture of 2 and 3 unit buildings. Each unit will have its own lot. The surrounding properties to the north, east and west are also similarly zoned CA, with the property to the south being zoned R-8. The site is currently has 2 existing residences. All of the existing houses and garages/sheds will be removed. Both of the existing houses have driveways connected to Bremerton Ave. NE. A recently constructed plat, Ridgeview Court. is adjacent to the site, across Bremerton Ave. NE to the west. There are no wetlands, steep slopes or any sensitive areas on this site. There is a low depression along the north property line. This depression is approx. 1 O' deep and extends off-site to the north, to the adjacent Bank drive-thru driveway. This depression will be filled. The depression was mostly formed by the filling of the property to the east, as the grading for an approved multi-family development. A grading easement will be obtained from the adjacent property (Bank) to fill their portion. The steepest slope is approx. 25% along the south bank of the depression, northwest of the existing northern house. There are some similar slopes along most sides of the depression. The soils on the site are a silty sand, with some and silt loam. The site is dominated by residential landscaping with few trees. There are approx. 30 trees that are spread throughout the plat. The existing drainage from the north half of the site sheet flows into the depression. The existing drainage from the south half of the site sheet flows to the southwest corner of the site. The proposed use of the property as a 26 lot attached townhome residential subdivision will be consistent with the surrounding developments. All of the surrounding properties except for the parcels lo the south, are developed. The proposed lots will range in size from the minimum of 1426 SF to a maximum of 3337 SF (including access and drainage easements). The density of the plat is 20.0 units per acre in the CA zone. Access to the new lots will be from a new internal public street that runs east/west and is connected to Bremerton Ave. NE. and then ,. ' turns to the north and is connected to a public alley that then turns to the west and connects to Bremerton Ave. NE, to complete an internal loop. There will be a short public road stub to the southeast with a private road extension to serve the southeastern portion of the development. The new streets are proposed to be 32' wide residential streets with a 42' right-of- way. The reduced ROW will be wide enough to accommodafe the street and sidewalks on both sides. The reduced ROW width is needed to keep the net plat area at a maximum to stay under the maximum density. Eight joint driveways will be placed within easements and will be used to access most of the two unit buildings. Bremerton Ave. NE is currently improved on the west side (by Ridgeview Court) but not on the east side. The proposed plat will construct the east side of the street to complete the full road section. A new water main and sewer main will be installed in the new plat street. The water main will be run through the site and connected to a future water main in the multi-family project to the east. The water and sewer service is provided by the City of Renton. The finished lots are estimated to be worth approx. $150,000 for a total value of approx. 3.9 million dollars. The value of the lots with preliminary approval only is estimated to be $2.6 million dollars. The site will require substantial grading for the proposed road. The depression will need to be filled for approx. 8' in depth. The building pads for the lots will also require some minor grading but nothing over 4 feet. The main grading activity will be associated with the excavation for the detention vault and the fill for the depression. The estimated amount of grading is 500 CY for cut and 4000 CY for fill. It is anticipated that the site will use some of the cut material on-site, but the majority will be imported. There are numerous trees on the site. There are approx. 30 trees on the site. Most of the trees will need to be removed due to conflicts with the roads, utilities and building pads. Land that will be dedicated to the City include the internal public roads and the public alley. The lots will be sold by the developer to one or several builders or investors. The future builders will likely use model homes and temporary job trailers. DRISCOLL ARCHITECTS .....

TOWNHOME PRELIMINARY PLAT CONSTRUCTION MITIGATION DECRIPTION The Bremerton Ave. Townhome preliminary plat is a 26 lot attached residential subdivision located on the east side of Bremerton Ave. NE. It is anticipated that the construction of the plat will begin in the fall of 2007 and continue through the winter of that same year. The construction of the buildings will likely begin in the late spring, early summer of 2008. The building construction will likely continue for approx. l year, depending upon the local demand for housing. The construction will occur from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday and possibly on Saturday. If work is to be outside of these hours, previous approval will be received from the City. The proposed hauling and construction traffic routes will be along 1-405 to the Maple Valley highway interchange. The traffic will then proceed north on Sunset Ave. and turn east on NE 4th St., up into the Renton Highlands area. The traffic will then turn south on Bremerton Ave. NE and proceed south on Bremerton Ave. NE for approx. 300 ft. to the site. Construction that occurs during the dry summer period can produce dust. This will be controlled using water trucks. Impacts to traffic will be regulated by having a traffic control plan approved by the City for work within the existing ROW. The tracking of dirt and mud will be reduced by constructing a quarry spoil construction access point as one of the initial construction items of development. STREAM ASSESSMENT The generalized City drainage maps show a stream crossing the site. The map (attached) shows the stream along the north property line and flowing from east to west. It should be noted that these are general maps and may not reflect the actual field conditions. The actual site conditions are that no stream exists on the site. The location of the stream, as shown on the City maps, is at the location of the depression shown on the site specific topography and preliminary development plans. In fact, there is no culvert or means for a stream to flow to the west under Bremerton Ave. NE. This street creates a blockage of any flow towards the west. There likely was s slight flow to the east. as indicated by the field survey points for this site, but this was only a marginal swale/surtace flow feature. The recent grading of the adjacent multi-family site east of the subject site, has blocked any outlet for the depression to the east. The drainage system for the bank. to the north. flows into the depression. The on-site flows and the bank discharge created a substantial drainage impoundment pond during the last winter. This is the first rainy season that the site has had since the grading/blockage to the east. In summary, there is no stream on the site. The construction of Bremerton Ave. NE, many years ago, without a culvert would have blocked any stream flow as indicated on the City general maps.

What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope?) The steepest slope on the property is approximately 21 percent in the northeastern comer of the site. The majority of the site is relatively flat I :\ESM-JOBS\ 1241 \006\005\document\envchlst1 .doc 3 c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime farmland. The soils onsite consist of alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AgC) soils according to the King County Soil Survey. d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. There are no known surface indications of unstable soils on, or in the immediate vicinity of the proposed site location. For more information please see the Geotechnical Engineering Study by Earth Solutions NW, LLC, dated July 19, 2006. e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. Grading will be limited to the construction of the proposed roads, lots, water, sewer, other utilities, and the proposed detention facility. There will be approximately 4,000 cubic yards of fill, and 500 cubic yard of cut within this project. Any additional import or export of material necessary for this project will be approved at final engineering and obtained from a City approved site. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. Some erosion could occur during clearing and grading operations associated with this project. To minimize the impacts of the project, appropriate erosion control measures will be reviewed and approved by the City prior to construction activity associated with this project. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? The preliminary plat shows approximately 670 linear feet of new roads associated with this project resulting in approximately 24,600 sf of new impervious road surfaces. The total impervious surface for the site is approximately 58,400 square feet of impervious surfaces, or 72 percent of the site is proposed. h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: During construction, various measures are expected to be used to control erosion. These methods include construction during the dry season, the use of silt fences and hay bails, and re-vegetation of disturbed areas. Specific temporary erosion and sediment control measures will be reviewed and approved by the County prior to construction. l:\ESM-JOBS\ 1241 \006\005\document\envchlst1 .doc 4 2. AIR a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. During construction, short-term emissions may occur, induding dust and vehide emissions from construction related equipment. After construction, emissions from this project would primarily result from automobile usage as is typical with residential development b. Are there any off-site sources of emission or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. None to our knowledge. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: Dust emissions will be controlled during site construction by the use of best management practices, including periodic watering of disturbed areas. The project will not rely upon wood burning fireplaces as the primary source of heat for the new homes. All new homes will use natural gas and/or electricity to provide heat, reducing emissions caused by wood burning fires. 3. WATER a. Surface Water: 1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into. Not to our knowledge. 2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans. No. 3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material. Not applicable. 4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. No. l:\ESM-JOBS\ 1241 \006\005\document\envchlst1 .doc 5 b. 5) Does the proposal lie within a 1 DO-year flood plain? If so, note location on the site plan. No. 6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? 1) If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge. No. Ground Water: Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to ground water? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. No. 2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the following chemicals ... ; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve. None. c. Water Runoff (including storm water): 1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters, If so, describe. The proposed project will provide approximately 670 linear feet of new roads, 1 O new rooftops and other impervious surfaces which will generate new stonnwater runoff. The increased runoff from these surfaces will be collected via catch basins and routed in underground pipes to a new underground stormwater detention facility. The new homes will either connect their downspouts to the stonn drainage system in the street, or provide an onsite infiltration area for this runoff. (Please see Level 1 Downstream Analysis prepared by Jaeger Engineering, dated September 22, 2006). 2) Could waste material enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. Waste materials are generally limited to petroleum products from the road surfaces. The water quality portion of the stonnwater facilities is specifically designed to prohibit these materials from entering the downstream system. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any: All development and engineering requirements imposed by the City to control the impacts to the hydrology of the area will be performed by the proponent.
