The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Andrea Petzel, Senior Planner, Development
Services, City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, Washington 98055. The site is located at 2604
Lynnwood Avenue NE in the very northeast comer of the city in the R-8 zone. It borders King County on the
north and east sides of the plat, the Comprehensive Plan Designation is Residential Single-Family.
The lot is 21,506 square feet (.49 acres) and is currently vacant. The applicant proposes to subdivide the lot into
2 lots for the eventual construction of2 single-family homes. The average grade exceeds 20%, therefore this
project is being reviewed as a hillside subdivision and is subject to the preliminary rather than short plat process.
There are 3,768 square feet of protected slopes, after deductions the net density is 7.31 du/ac, which is within
the accepted range for the R-8 designation. There is an existing access and utility easement that runs along the
north side and down along the east side onto the abutting lots south. Code further requires that areas or access
easement be deducted from the overall buildable areas, therefore, it is recommended that applicant remove the
existing access easement prior to final plat recording or re-design the setback requirements in order to comply.
Minimum lot size is 5,000 square feet, the lots all comply with the minimum lot size requirements. The front
yards for both lots would be oriented towards Lynnwood Avenue NE, setbacks would be measured from the
access easement lines. All street improvements are in place including curb with curb cuts, gutters, sidewalks,
planting strip and an 8-foot retaining wall. The applicant will need to cut through the retaining wall in order to
put in the driveways. The driveway slopes appear to be very close to the allowable 15% slope, applicant will
need to redesign those driveways or apply for a variance.
The site is currently vegetated with thick brush and seven significant trees. There are plans to retain one of the
seven significant trees, to meet code a detailed landscape plan must be submitted indicating that two of the
significant trees would be retained and if not feasible, planting up to two trees to fulfill the requirement for tree
retention. Due to the extensive grading, new rockeries would be added between the lots and either side of the
driveways.
The Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated with three
measures. No appeals were filed.
Police, Fire, Traffic and Parks Departments indicated that there were sufficient resources to serve the new lots.
Traffic and Fire Mitigations Fees were recommended as a condition of approval.
Dave Casey, Baima and Holmberg, 100 Front Street South, Issaquah, WA 98027 stated that he has been
involved with this project for quite some time. He was, in fact, the engineer that did the entire Honey Creek
subdivision in the 1990's.
The grading along the west side was part of the work in designing Lynnwood Ave, there were some cuts
necessary to drop the road down to meet the continuation road to the north.
The access easement benefits the property owner immediately adjacent to the east of this project. They do have
a driveway to the north of this project.

The retaining wall is not a wall, but a rockety. There was no need for setbacks from the slopes as they are very
stable, they were not created by any sloughing activity but by actual grading activities.
The Examiner inquired about a letter from the Honey Creek Ridge Homeowner' s Association regarding re-
subdivision of existing lots in the plat, how does that affect this proposal?
Mr. Casey stated that when the Homeowner's Association was put together for the Honey Creek Ridge project,
this lot was as large as it could be. There were so many slope density requirements and the code has changed so
much since then it now allows this lot to be subdivided.
When Honey Creek subdivision was done the entire plat was in the Renton School District, so it appears that
this plat is entirely within the Renton School District as well.
Pao Phung, 4816 Lake Place S., Unit A, Renton, WA. 98055 stated that they had received a letter that approved
the short plat with several conditions that must be fulfilled.
Kayren Kittrick, Development Services stated that there originally were two driveways on this lot, it was always
intended that someday it would be divided. The utilities are available, they were built with the original plat, the
road improvements are in, and everything is there.
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 9:26 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
I. The applicants, Kiel Phung and Rose Ong, filed a request for a Preliminary Plat.
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 #1.
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 2604 Lynnwood Avenue NE. The subject site is located on the east side of
Lynnwood directly east of NE 26th Court.
6. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as
suitable for the development of single-family homes, but does not mandate such development without
consideration of other policies of the Plan.
7. The subject site is currently zoned R-8 (Single Family -8 dwelling units/acre).
8. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 4337 enacted in December
1991.

9. The subject site is approximately 21,506 square feet or 0.49 acres. The subject site is approximately
150 feet deep (east to west) by 143 feet wide.
10. The subject site slopes downward to the north and contains approximately 3,768 square feet of Protected
Slopes with grades in excess of 40%. The average slope across the site exceeds 20% and the site is
defined as a Hillside Subdivision. A Hillside Subdivision requires review as a preliminary plat and a
public hearing before the Hearing Examiner and approval of the City Council.
11. The site has grasses, shrubs and seven significant trees. The applicant proposes removing most of the
vegetation to develop the subject site. TI1e applicant has proposed retaining one significant tree and
staff has recommended two be retained or replacements planted to meet code requirements. Streetscape
landscaping is required in addition to the preservation of significant trees.
12. The proposed division is actually a re-division of a Jot from an earlier preliminary plat. The
homeowners association of the underlying plat had originally opposed the division but has since
acquiesced.
13. The two proposed lots would be oriented in an east to west direction with Proposed Lot I in the north
and Proposed Lot 2 in the south. Both homes would have their own driveways.
14. Lynnwood Avenue was developed with the original plat and no additional improvements are needed.
15. The proposed driveway grade may require a variance ifit exceeds 15%. Staff has recommended that the
driveway be redesigned to have grades of less then 20% and require a variance if it continues to exceed
15%.
16. An access easement benefiting neighboring property runs along the north and east margins of the
subject site.
20. There is a rockery on the site and additional rockeries may be required when the property is graded.
21. The subject site is located in Aquifer Protection Zone 2. Imported fill materials will be subject to its
regulations.
22. The density for the plat of two lots would he 4.88 dwelling units per acre after subtracting sensitive
areas. The density for the property if it were part of the original plat would be 7.31 dwelling units per
acre.
23. The subject site is located within the Renton School District. The project is expected to generate
approximately I or 2 school age children. These students would be spread across the grades and would
be assigned on a space available basis.
24. The development will increase traffic approximately IO trips per unit or approximately 20 trips.
25. Stormwater systems were part of the original plat and will continue to serve this new plat.
26. The site will receive its sanitary sewer and water services from the City.

CONCLUSIONS:
I. The proposed plat, physically a short plat, appears to serve the public use and interest. The large, almost
half-acre lot, can easily be divided to provide additional housing opportunities in the City and in an area
with available urban services.
2. The creation of one additional lot will not unduly tax the City's infrastructure. The additional lot will
add to the tax base of the City.
3. It appears that the two steeper areas on the subject site will not unduly restrict redevelopment with
single-family homes. There is concern about the potential grade of driveways serving the lots. The
applicant should attempt to create driveways that are not unduly steep but if they exceed requirements
then a variance will be necessary.
4. The applicant will have to address the access easement that may affect their design either by redesign or
removing the easement restrictions.
5. In summary, the proposed plat is a modest addition to the neighborhood that takes advantage of the
large lot that was created when initially platted.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council should approve the proposed Preliminary Plat subject to the following conditions:
I. The applicant shall comply with the Mitigation Measures required by the Environmental
Review Committee Threshold Determination.
2. The applicant shall remove the existing access easement prior to final plan recording or redesign
the buildings to comply with setback measurements from the access easement.
3. Prior to final plan approval, the applicant shall submit a detailed landscape plan to the
Development Services project manager indicating the two conifers to be saved. If the two trees
cannot be retained, the applicant must submit a proposal to plant two new conifers.
4. The applicant shall redesign driveway slopes to be less than 15% or apply for a variance.
5. Prior to the recording of the plat, the applicant shall be required to pay a Fire Mitigation Fee of
$946.00 for two new single-family lots.
6. The applicant will be required to pay Traffic Mitigation fees of$1,435.50 for two new lots prior
to recording of the plat.

Dear Mr. Jones:
CITY 1F RENTON
Hearing Examiner
Fred J. Kaufman
This office has reviewed your letter of June 12, 2007. This office will treat the letter as a Request
for Reconsideration. The response follows.
The effect of certain covenants can only be determined by a court. This office is not always in a
position to determine the impact of covenants on current land use applications.
The second sentence of Finding 12 will be removed eliminating reference to the homeowners
association. The finding currently reads:
12. The proposed division is actually a re-division ofa lot from an earlier
preliminary plat. The homeowners association of the underlying plat had
originally opposed the division but has since acquiesced.
It will be changed to read:
12. The proposed division is actually a re-division ofa lot from an earlier
preliminary plat.
If this office can provide any additional assistance, please feel free to write. A new appeal period
will be established. Any appeal must be filed by July 2, 2007 and accompanied by the
appropriate fee.
If this office can provide any further assistance, please feel free to write.

Homeowners Association
P. 0. Box 3188
Renton, WA 98056
June 12, 2007
Item 12 of your findings is incorrect. The Homeowners Association of Honey Cheek Ridge
has not acquiesced. I have attached a copy of the Association position that was sent to Ms
Andrea Petzel on May 11, 2007. This same letter was sent to the owners on April, 27, 2007.
The Board of Directors wants to emphasize that:
1. Multiple property owners made numerous objections to the City of Renton on the
basis that the proposed subdivision violates the CC&R's;
2. The City responded, formally and informally, that it does not enforce CC&R' s and
enforcement of the same would be a civil matter between the HOA and the property
owner.
3. The HOA and other homeowners relied, to their apparent detriment, on the City's
representations that the CC&R's play no role in the decision making process. As a
result neither the HOA nor any individual property owner appeared before the hearing
examiner to object on the basis of the CC&R's. Had the City not made those

There was a drawing submitted to the Architectural Control Committee and later to the board
in October 2006 indicating a desire to build two houses on the subject lot. There was no
definitive request nor did the board approve the submission. The Board did respond to the
owner. However, there has been no submission to the Board prior to the petition to the city
requesting the changes outlined in our October letter of response as required by the CC&R's.

This is to acknowledge receipt of the plans delivered to Mr. Robert Kaufman's residence
on April, 19, 2007. We understand that you are attempting to sub-divide this lot into two
lots. The plans reflect utilizing only one-half of the lot with no identification as to which
portion you intend.
While the construction of two homes on this lot may be approved by the City of Renton,
your property remains subject to the covenants created by the developer when the plat
was established. The Board of Directors would like to bring to your attention our concern
and opposition. Sections of the Honey Creek Ridge CC&R's are copied below:
ARTICLE I -DEFINITIONS
Section 1, 7 -Declarant
"Declarant" shall mean and refer to LAKERIDGE DEVELOPMENT, INC. , a
Washington corporation, its successors and assigns if such successors or assigns should
acquire all or substantially all of the then undeveloped portions of Honey Creek Ridge
from. Declarant for the purpose of development ( excluding Participating Builders).
ARTICLE 5-USE COVENANTS, CONDITIONS, AND RESTRICTIONS
Section 5.1-Authorized Uses
Lots in Honey Creek Ridge shall be used solely for residential purposes and related
facilities normally incidental to a residential community. During the Development Period,
no Lot shall be further subdivided without Declarant' s prior written approval. Thereafter,
no Lot shall be further subdivided, except as permitted in this Declaration and any
Supplemental Declaration, without prior approval conferred by Association Action.

Section 5.2-Approval of Building or Clearing Plans Required
No building, fence, deck, patio, wall, kennel, or other structure shall be commenced,
erected, or maintained upon a Lot or any other portion of Honey Creek Ridge, nor shall
any exterior additional to or change or alteration therein be made, nor shall a Lot be cleared
or excavated for use, nor shall any tree of 12 inches or more in diameter on any Lot,
measured one foot above ground level, be cut, until after the details and written plans and
specifications showing the nature, kind, shape, height, materials, colors, and location of
the same shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Architectural
Control Committee. The structure so approved must be completed as to external
appearance, including finished staining, within nine (9) months after the date construction
is commenced unless the Committee elects to grant an extension. Although the
Committee shall have full authority to approve or disapprove of any specific proposal, the
following restrictions shall apply to Honey Creek Ridge in general:
Section 5.2.4 -Floor Area

a private garage shall be permitted on each Lot If a home is built on a Lot, it must
include a garage for not less than two (2) cars which is filly enclosed; the garage may be
attached or detached ( no carports).
Findings:
These CC&R's are part of the title to your property and were undoubtedly attached to the
policy of title insurance delivered to you at closing. These provisions above are the basis
of the Board of Directors decision to reject your proposed subdivision. The Board will
consider only one house on Div. Ill, Lot 45. as outlined in the CC&R's. The other
property owners in Honey Creek accepted this covenant as a favorable value at the time
of their purchases. The Architectural Control Committee and the Board of Directors do
not approve the plans submitted. You are requested to resubmit your plans conforming to

Andrea Petzel on May 11, 2007. This same letter was sent to the owners on April, 27, 2007.
The Board of Directors wants to emphasize that:
L Multiple property owners made numerous objections to the City of Renton on the
basis that the proposed subdivision violates the CC&R's;
2. The City responded, formally and informally, that it does not enforce CC&R's and
enforcement of the same would be a civil matter between the HOA and the property
owner.
3. The HOA and other homeowners relied, to their apparent detriment, on the City's
representations that the CC&R' s play no role in the decision making process. As a
result neither the HOA nor any individual property owner appeared before the hearing
examiner to object on the basis of the CC&R's. Had the City not made those

Approval for a subdivision of a 0.49-acre lot into two parcels

Development Services Recommendation: Approve subject to
conditions
The Development Services Report was received by the
Examiner on May I, 2007.
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 May 15, 2007 hearing.
The legal record is recorded on CD.
The hearing opened on Tuesday, May 15, 2007, at 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: Plat Plan
application, proof of posting, proof of publication and
other documentation pertinent to this request.

Division 3
The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Andrea Petzel, Senior Planner, Development
Services, City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, Washington 98055. The site is located at 2604
Lynnwood Avenue NE in the very northeast corner of the city in the R-8 zone. It borders King County on the
north and east sides of the plat, the Comprehensive Plan Designation is Residential Single-Family.
The lot is 21,506 square feet (.49 acres) and is currently vacant. The applicant proposes to subdivide the lot into
2 lots for the eventual construction of2 single-family homes. The average grade exceeds 20%, therefore this
project is being reviewed as a hillside subdivision and is subject to the preliminary rather than short plat process.
There are 3,768 square feet of protected slopes, after deductions the net density is 7.31 du/ac, which is within
the accepted range for the R-8 designation. There is an existing access and utility easement that runs along the
north side and down along the east side onto the abutting lots south. Code further requires that areas or access
easement be deducted from the overall buildable areas, therefore, it is recommended that applicant remove the
existing access easement prior to final plat recording or re-design the setback requirements in order to comply.
Minimum lot size is 5,000 square feet, the lots all comply with the minimum lot size requirements. The front
yards for both lots would be oriented towards Lynnwood Avenue NE, setbacks would be measured from the
access easement lines. All street improvements are in place including curb with curb cuts, gutters, sidewalks,
planting strip and an 8-foot retaining wall. The applicant will need to cut through the retaining wall in order to
put in the driveways. The driveway slopes appear to be very close to the allowable 15% slope, applicant will
need to redesign those driveways or apply for a variance.
The site is currently vegetated with thick brush and seven significant trees. There are plans to retain one of the
seven significant trees, to meet code a detailed landscape plan must be submitted indicating that two of the
significant trees would be retained and if not feasible, planting up to two trees to fulfill the requirement for tree
retention. Due to the extensive grading, new rockeries would be added between the lots and either side of the
driveways.
The Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated with three
measures. No appeals were filed.
Police, Fire, Traffic and Parks Departments indicated that there were sufficient resources to serve the new lots.
Traffic and Fire Mitigations Fees were recommended as a condition of approval.
Dave Casey, Baima and Holmberg, I 00 Front Street South, Issaquah, WA 98027 stated that he has been
involved with this project for quite some time. He was, in fact, the engineer that did the entire Honey Creek
subdivision in the 1990's.
The grading along the west side was part of the work in designing Lynnwood Ave, there were some cuts
necessary to drop the road down to meet the continuation road to the north.
The access easement benefits the property owner immediately adjacent to the east of this project. They do have
a driveway to the north of this project.

The retaining wall is not a wall, but a rockery. There was no need for setbacks from the slopes as they are very
stable, they were not created by any sloughing activity but by actual grading activities.
The Examiner inquired about a letter from the Honey Creek Ridge Homeowner's Association regarding re-
subdivision of existing lots in the plat, how does that affect this proposal?
Mr. Casey stated that when the Homeowner's Association was put together for the Honey Creek Ridge project,
this lot was as large as it could be. There were so many slope density requirements and the code has changed so
much since then it now allows this lot to be subdivided.
When Honey Creek subdivision was done the entire plat was in the Renton School District, so it appears that
this plat is entirely within the Renton School District as well.
Pao Phung, 4816 Lake Place S., Unit A, Renton, WA. 98055 stated that they had received a letter that approved
the short plat with several conditions that must be fulfilled.
Kayren Kittrick, Development Services stated that there originally were two driveways on this lot, it was always
intended that someday it would be divided. The utilities are available, they were built with the original plat, the
road improvements are in, and everything is there.
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 9:26 a.m.

Lynnwood directly east of NE 26th Court.
6. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as
suitable for the development of single-family homes, but does not mandate such development without
consideration of other policies of the Plan.
7. The subject site is currently zoned R-8 (Single Family-8 dwelling units/acre).
8. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 4337 enacted in December
1991.

9. The subject site is approximately 21,506 square feet or 0.49 acres. The subject site is approximately
150 feet deep (east to west) by 143 feet wide.
10. The subject site slopes downward to the north and contains approximately 3,768 square feet of Protected
Slopes with grades in excess of 40%. The average slope across the site exceeds 20% and the site is
defined as a Hillside Subdivision. A Hillside Subdivision requires review as a preliminary plat and a
public hearing before the Hearing Examiner and approval of the City Council.
11. The site has grasses, shrubs and seven significant trees. The applicant proposes removing most of the
vegetation to develop the subject site. The applicant has proposed retaining one significant tree and
staff has recommended two be retained or replacements planted to meet code requirements. Streetscape
landscaping is required in addition to the preservation of significant trees.
12. The proposed division is actually a re-division of a lot from an earlier preliminary plat. The
homeowners association of the underlying plat had originally opposed the division but has since
acquiesced.
13. The two proposed lots would be oriented in an east to west direction with Proposed Lot I in the north
and Proposed Lot 2 in the south. Both homes would have their own driveways.
14. Lynnwood Avenue was developed with the original plat and no additional improvements are needed.
15. The proposed driveway grade may require a variance if it exceeds 15%. Staff has recommended that the
driveway be redesigned to have grades of less then 20% and require a variance if it continues to exceed
15%.
16. An access easement benefiting neighboring property runs along the north and east margins of the
subject site.
20. There is a rockery on the site and additional rockeries may be required when the property is graded.
21. The subject site is located in Aquifer Protection Zone 2. Imported fill materials will be subject to its
regulations.
22. The density for the plat of two lots would be 4.88 dwelling units per acre after subtracting sensitive
areas. The density for the property if it were part of the original plat would be 7.31 dwelling units per
acre.
23. The subject site is located within the Renton School District. The project is expected to generate
approximately 1 or 2 school age children. These students would be spread across the grades and would
be assigned on a space available basis.
24. The development will increase traffic approximately 10 trips per unit or approximately 20 trips.
25. Stormwater systems were part of the original plat and will continue to serve this new plat.
26. The site will receive its sanitary sewer and water services from the City.

CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposed plat, physically a short plat, appears to serve the public use and interest. The large, almost
half-acre lot, can easily be divided to provide additional housing opportunities in the City and in an area
with available urban services.
2. The creation of one additional lot will not unduly tax the City's infrastructure. The additional lot will
add to the tax base of the City.
3. It appears that the two steeper areas on the subject site will not unduly restrict redevelopment with
single-family homes. There is concern about the potential grade of driveways serving the lots. The
applicant should attempt to create driveways that are not unduly steep but if they exceed requirements
then a variance will be necessary.
4. The applicant will have to address the access casement that may affect their design either by redesign or
removing the easement restrictions.
5. In summary, the proposed plat is a modest addition to the neighborhood that takes advantage of the
large lot that was created when initially platted.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council should approve the proposed Preliminary Plat subject to the following conditions:
I. The applicant shall comply with the Mitigation Measures required by the Environmental
Review Committee Threshold Determination.
2. The applicant shall remove the existing access easement prior to final plan recording or redesign
the buildings to comply with setback measurements from the access easement.
3. Prior to final plan approval, the applicant shall submit a detailed landscape plan to the
Development Services project manager indicating the two conifers to be saved. If the two trees
cannot be retained, the applicant must submit a proposal to plant two new conifers.
4. The applicant shall redesign driveway slopes to be less than 15% or apply for a variance.
5. Prior to the recording of the plat, the applicant shall be required to pay a Fire Mitigation Fee of
$946.00 for two new single-family lots.
6. The applicant will be required to pay Traffic Mitigation fees of$1,435.50 for two new lots prior
to recording of the plat.

RE: Resolution on Div III, Lot 45
Dear Phung Kiet and Rose Ong:
Honey Creek Ridge
Homeowners Association
P. 0. Box 3188
Renton, WA 98056
April 27, 2007
This is to acknowledge receipt of the plans delivered to Mr. Robert Kaufinan's residence
on April, 19, 2007. We understand that you are attempting to sub-divide this lot into two
lots. The plans reflect utilizing only one-half of the lot with no identification as to which
portion you intend.
While the construction of two homes on this lot may be approved by the City of Renton,
your property remains subject to the covenants created by the developer when the plat
was established. The Board of Directors would like to bring to your attention our concern
and opposition. Sections of the Honey Creek Ridge CC&R's are copied below:
ARTICLE I -DEFINITIONS
Section I. 7 -Declarant
"Declarant" shall mean and refer to LAKERIDGE DEVELOPMENT, INC. , a
Washington corporation, its successors and assigns if such successors or assigns should
acquire all or substantially all of the then undeveloped portions of Honey Creek Ridge
from. Declarant for the purpose of development (excluding Participating Builders).
ARTICLE 5-USE COVENANTS, CONDITIONS, AND RESTRICTIONS
Section 5.1 -Authorized Uses
Lots in Honey Creek Ridge shall be used solely for residential purposes and related
facilities nonnally incidental to a residential community. During the Development Period,
no Lot shall be further subdivided without Declarant's prior written approval. Thereafier.
no Lot shall be further subdivided, except as permitted in this Declaration and any
Supplemental Declaration. without prior approval conferred by Association Action.

Section 5.2 -Approval of Building or Clearing Plans Required
No building, fence, deck, patio, wall, kennel, or other structure shall be commenced,
erected, or maintained upon a Lot or any other portion of Honey Creek Ridge, nor shall
any exterior additional to or change or alteration therein be made, nor shall a Lot be cleared
or excavated for use, nor shall any tree of 12 inches or more in diameter on any Lot,
measured one foot above ground level, be cut, until after the details and written plans and
specifications showing the nature, kind, shape, height, materials, colors, and location of
the same shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Architectural
Control Committee. The structure so approved must be completed as to external
appearance, including finished staining, within nine (9) months after the date construction
is commenced unless the Committee elects to grant an extension. Although the
Committee shall have full authority to approve or disapprove of any specific proposal, the
following restrictions shall apply to Honey Creek Ridge in general:
Section 5.2.4-Floor Area
Only one Single Family home not to exceed two (2) stories in height plus basement and
a private garage shall be permitted on each Lot. If a home is built on a Lot, it must
include a garage for not less than two (2) cars which is filly enclosed; the garage may be
attached or detached (no carports).
Findings:
These CC&R's are part of the title to your property and were undoubtedly attached to the
policy of title insurance delivered to you at closing. These provisions above are the basis
of the Board of Directors decision to reject your proposed subdivision. The Board will
consider only one house on Div. Ill, Lot 45. as outlined in the CC&R's. The other
property owners in Honey Creek accepted this covenant as a favorable value at the time
of their purchases. The Architectural Control Committee and the Board of Directors do
not approve the plans submitted. You are requested to resubmit your plans conforming to
the CC&R's of Honey Creek Ridge with plans for only one house and including color
samples of the roof shingles, exterior colors and color scheme as required within the total
sections of the CC&R's.
Respectfully,
Roddis Jones, President

I am wri~i~g. on behalf ofKeit Phung and his wife Rose Ong, owners of Lot 45, Honey Creek
Ridge D'.vlSlon No. 3. Ther respectfully reque_st ap~roval by the Board of Directors oftbe Honey
Cree~ Rid?e Homeowners Assoc1atJon of their desire to divide the Jot into two parcels as
descnbed m the attached plans. This request is made pursuant to Section 5. I of the Declaration
ofCovernmts, Conditions, Restrictions, and Easements for Honey Creek Ridge.
PLANS AND INTENTIONS:
Mr. Phung and Ms. Ong purchased this property for their own use, and look forward to building
their home in Honey Creek Ridge. It is their hope to at some point build a second house on their
lot for family members. In order to build a second home on the property, a division of their lot
into two parcel.s is requested under the Honey Creek covenants.
Attached as Exhibit A is a copy ofa Boundary and Topographic Map of Lot 45. (Another copy
which has been reduced in size for ease in reproduction has also been included for the
convenience of the Board.) The map shows the current size of Lot 45 as well as the location of
the proposed dividing line between parcels A and B. After the division of Lot 45, parcel A_ will
measure 150' x 71.98', and parcel B will measure 150' x 71.99'. The rear d1mens10ns are slightly
(less than a foot) narrower.
Also illustrated on the map are the locations and approximate configurations oft~e ~o proposed
residences. These are included in order to aid the Board in the review of~1s apphcation. The
plans for these residences are not intended to be final, and would be submitted to. th~
Architectural Control Committee of the Honey Creek Ridge Homeowners Associat10n when
appropriate.

LOT45:
Lot 45 was platted as part of Tract B of Honey Creek Division No. 3. Tract B created4S lots. Lot
45 is unusually large in comparison to most of the lots in this tract and the balance of Honey
Creek Ridge. It currently measures 21,505 square feet in size. After the division, parcel A will be
10,751 square. Parcel B will be 10,753 square feet.
The location of Lot 45 is also unusual. It only shares a common boundary line with one other
Honey Creek lot. On two sides it is bordered by property outside of Honey Creek Ridge. The
fourth side faces Lynwood Avenue NE. Because of the location of streets in Honey Creek Ridge,
lot 45 in some respects seems to stick out beyond the rest of the lots in the division. No entrance
to any other lot faces Jot 45.
STANDARDS AND ANALYSIS:
The Honey Creek Ridge covenants do not prohibit a division of existing lots. Section 5 .1
specifically provides procedures for the approval of a subdivision of existing lots, both before
and after the Development Period. However, the covenants provide no standards, rules, or
guidelines for the Board's guidance in considering requests to divide lots.
Since the Board's decision in such matters must be reasonable, and not arbitrary, some analysis is
necessary. In the absence of any other standards or guidelines, it would appear that the primary
concern would be the size of the resulting lots. Therefore, I hope that the following information
and analysis will be of help to the Board. If the Board considers other factors or standards, we
request an opportunity to address those. 1
In preparing this request, I reviewed the Parcel Data of the King County Assessor's Office for
each of the 45 lots in Tract B. There does not appear to be any consistency or uniformity in lot
sizes throughout the tract. The lots range in size from a minimum of 5,690 square feet to a
maximum of21,804 square feet. Lot 45 is the second largest parcel listed at 21,505 square feet,
only 300 feet smaller than the largest lot (No. 26). 98% of the lots in the tract are smaller than
Lot 45.
The average Lot size in Tract Bis 9,233 square feet. The median size is 7,887 square feet. Even
after Lot 45 is divided as proposed, each of the resulting lots would still be larger than 82% of
the rest of the lots in Tract B, with 36 lots smaller and only eight being larger.
I have attached a list of the lot size data for Tract B obtained from the Assessor's records as
Exhibit C. A graphic comparison of the lot sizes is enclosed as Exhibit D.
Lots 42 though 44 of Tract B are those immediately adjacent to lot 45. (See plat maps at Exhibit
B.) Even if only these lots are considered, subdividing lot 45 would increase neighborhood

Ma~ 11 07 07:20a Bao P 42522s•nn3 p.3
consistency. Currently lot 45 is the largest by far of the four parcels. After subdivision, the two
resulting lots would still be larger than all but one (lot 44). However, the resulting lots would be
closer in size to No. 44 than No. 45 is currently. The width of the resulting parcels would be
larger than 2 of the other 3 lots in this group. (The widths of the other lots range from 27.72 feet
to 135 feet.)
Lot 44 is an anomaly in that it takes a large portion of the front of lot 43 for its driveway,
reducing the frontage oflot 43 from 72 feet to 27. 72 feet. If No. 44's lot lines had been parallel,
its total area would be 13,794 sq. feet, even closer in size to the proposed divided parcels.
After the division of lot 45, the resulting parcels will still have street frontages greater than 3 7
(84%) of the other 44 lots of Tract B.
Taking into consideration the lots outside of Tract B closest to lot 45, similar results are found.
The lot directly across Lynnwood Avenue is Lot I of Division I. It has an area of 8,876 square
feet, significantly smaller than the proposed parcels, and massively smaller than existing lot 45.
Considering all of the nearby lots of Division I (those surrounding NE 26th Court) we find that
even after division, the divided parcels will be larger than 5 of those 8 lots ( 62.5% ). It should be
noted that the divided lots will only face and share a common street with one of these -Lot 1.
OTHER CONCERNS AND CONSIDERATIONS:
1. We recognize that the Association denied permission to a developer to divide the lots some
time ago. Given the information we have been provided about that request (which is limited), the
proposal of Mr. Phung and Ms. Ong is much more desirable to Honey Creek Ridge. It appears
that the proposal of the developer would have divided lot 45 into two very unequal parcels. Two
driveways were indicated, with the driveway of the small parcel consmning almost all of its
Lynnwood street frontage. (See Exhibit E, rejected plans) In addition, the developer would have
placed one house very close to the street, while the Phung-Ong design places the homes in
locations consistent with the surrounding neighborhood. Furthermore, we are unaware of any
analysis or data having been submitted to the Board to aid in its consideration of the request.
2. Mr. Phung and Ms. Ong were provided a copy of the Honey Creek covenants with their title
report. We have not received copies of any Association by-laws, rules or other information
which may be relevant to the Board's consideration of the lot division issue in spite of several
requests. If any such provisions exist, we would appreciate getting the information and an having
opportunity to address them.
3. We would like an opportunity to be present at the Board's consideration of this request in
order to answer any questions or address any issues that may arise. If any further information is
requested by the Board, we will try to provide it.
4. If the Board has any specific concerns about the details of the proposal, Mr. Phung and Ms.
Ong are willing to consider any modifications which might address these issues.

5. My clients are presenting this proposal for the Board's consideration and approval in good
faith as future neighbors. Of course in doing so, they do not waive any rights they may have to
challenge the applicability or enforcability of the covenants and restrictions should permission
be denied.
CONCLUSION:
We appreciate the Honey Creek Ridge Homeowner's Association Board's consideration of this
request. Its approval will bring an unusually oversized lot into greater harmony and consistency
with the rest of the neighborhood. To the extent possible, we are ready to answer questions,
provide additional information, or consider modifications.
Sincerely,
G. Lee Raaen

RE: Resolution on Div Ill, Lot 45
Dear Phung Kiet and Rose Ong:

Homeowners Association

This is to acknowledge receipt of the plans delivered to Mr. Robert Kaufman's residence
on April, 19, 2007. We understand that you are attempting to sub-divide this lot into two
lots. The plans reflect utilizing only one-half of the lot with no identification as to which
portion you intend.
While the construction of two homes on this lot may be approved by the City of Renton,
your property remains subject to the covenants created by the developer when the plat
was established. The Board of Directors would like to bring to your attention our concern
and opposition. Sections of the Honey Creek Ridge CC&R's are copied below:
ARTICLE I -DEFINITIONS
Section 1. 7 -Declarant
"Declarant" shall mean and refer to LAKERIDGE DEVELOPMENT, INC. , a
Washington corporation, its successors and assigns if such successors or assigns should
acquire all or substantially all of the then undeveloped portions of Honey Creek Ridge
from. Declarant for the purpose of development ( excluding Participating Builders).
ARTICLE 5-USE COVENANTS', CONDITIONS, AND RESTRICTIONS
Section 5.1 -Authorized Uses
Lots in Honey Creek Ridge shall be used solely for residential purposes and related
facilities normally incidental to a residential community. During the Development Period,
no Lot shall be further subdivided without Declarant' s prior written approval. Thereafter,
no Lot shall be further subdiPidetl, except as permitted in this Declaration and any
Supplemental Declaration, without prior approval conferred by Association Action.
Page 1 of2
Section 5.2 -Approval of Building or Clearing Plans Required
No building, fence, deck, patio, wall, kennel, or other structure shall be commenced,
erected, or maintained upon a Lot or any other portion of Honey Creek Ridge, nor shall
any exterior additional to or change or alteration therein be made, nor shall a Lot be cleared
or excavated for use, nor shall any tree of 12 inches or more in diameter on any Lot,
measured one foot above ground level, be cut, until after the details and written plans and
specifications showing the nature, kind, shape, height, materials, colors, and location of
the same shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Architectural
Control Committee. The structure so approved must be completed as to external
appearance, including finished staining, within nine (9) months after the date construction
is commenced unless the Committee elects to grant an extension. Although the
Committee shall have full authority to approve or disapprove of any specific proposal, the
following restrictions shall apply to Honey Creek Ridge in general:
Section 5.2.4 -Floor Area
Only one Single Family home not to exceed two (2} stories in height plus basement and
a private garage shall be permitte,I on each Lot If a home is built on a Lot, it must
include a garage for not less than two (2) cars which is filly enclosed; the garage may be
attached or detached ( no carports).
Findings:
These CC&R's are part of the title to your property and were undoubtedly attached to the
policy of title insurance delivered to you at closing. These provisions above are the basis
of the Board of Directors decision to reject your proposed subdivision. The Board will
consider only one house on Div. !Il, Lot 45. as outlined in the CC&R's. The other
property owners in Honey Creek accepted this covenant as a favorable value at the time
of their purchases. The Architectural Control Committee and the Board of Directors do
not approve the plans submitted. You are requested to resubmit your plans conforming to
the CC&R's of Honey Creek Ridge with plans for only one house and including color
samples of the roof shingles, exterior colors and color scheme as required within the total
sections of the CC&R's.
Respectfully,
Roddis Jones, President
Honey Creek Ridge Homeowners Association

PROJECT NAME: Cassidy Cove Preliminary Plat -continued from 4/10/07
PROJECT NUMBER: LUA-07-014, PP, SA-H, ECF
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proponent of the Cassidy Cove Preliminary Plat, the King County
Department of Transportation Road Services Division, is requesting Site Plan Review for relocation of a
pole yard and Preliminary Plat approval for subdivision of 68 acres of land into 2 lots. The 60 and 8 acre
lots would subsequently developed for public facilities by King County and the City of Renton (for Parks
Department maintenance shops). The property is zoned Light Industrial -Public (IL-P). The site currently
functions as a King County Roads and Parks Operations and Maintenance Base.
PROJECT NAME: Phung Preliminary Plat
PROJECT NUMBER: LUA-07-027, PP, ECF
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant requests Preliminary Plat approval for a subdivision of a 0.49-
acre (21,506 sq. ft.) lot into two parcels of 10,761 and 10,745 square feet, for the future development of
two single-family homes. The parcel is located in the R-8 zone, and the proposed project density is 4.88
du/ac. Both lots would be accessed off of Lynnwood Avenue NE. The site has 3,768 sq. ft. of protected
slopes that are approximately 40%. The average slope across the site exceeds 20%; therefore, per
RMC 4-7-220B, the project will be reviewed as a Hillside Subdivision subject to the Preliminary Plat
process (review by the Hearing Examiner and approval by City Council). The site is primarily vegetated
with shrubs, deciduous trees and several large conifers. Most of the existing vegetation would be
removed to grade the site; some of the existing trees may be able to be retained.

G. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND
The applicant proposes to subdivide the existing 0.49-acre (21,506 sq. ft.) lot at 2604 Lynnwood Ave., NE
(Lot 45, Honey Creek Ridge Div. 3) into two lots for the future development of two single-family homes
(Exhibit 2). The parcel is located in the R-8 zone, and the Residential Single Family (RSF) Comprehensive
Land Use Designation. The subdivision would result in a net project density of 4.88 du/ac. The proposed lots
would be 10,761 (Lot 1) and 10,745 (Lot 2) square feet, respectively. Both lots would be accessed off of
Lynnwood Avenue NE via two private driveways.
The average grade of the site is approximately 30%; therefore, the site is considered a Hillside Subdivision
and is subject to the Preliminary Plat process (RMC 4-7-2208: review by the Hearing Examiner and approval
by City Council). In addition to the overall grade exceeding the Hillside Subdivision threshold of 20%, there
are 3,768 sq. ft. of protected slopes that slope approximately 40%. The project was subject to the
Environmental Review process.
The site is primarily vegetated with shrubs, deciduous trees and several large conifers. Most of the existing
vegetation would be removed to grade the site; some of the existing trees may be able to be retained.

iminary Report to the Hearing Examiner
LUA07-027 PP, ECF
Page4of9
Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971 as amended) on
April 16· 2007 the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) issued a Determination of Non-Significance -
Mitigated (DNS-M) for the Phung Preliminary Plat. A 14-day appeal period commenced on April 23, 2007 and
ended on May 7, 2007. No appeals of the threshold determination were filed.
3. COMPLIANCE WITH ERC MITIGATION MEASURES
Based on an analysis of probable impacts from the proposed project, the following mitigation measures were
issued for the Determination of Non-Significance, Mitigated (Exhibit 3):
1. The applicant will be required to comply with the recommendations found in the geotechnical
report titled "Proposed Short Plat of Lot 45 Honey Creek Ridge Div. 3," prepared by Dennis Joule,
dated February 12, 2007 (Exhibit 4).
2. The project shall comply with the DOE's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement, outlined in
Volume II of the 1990 Stormwater Management Manual.
3. Major earthwork shall occur only between the months of April-October.
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 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 preliminary plat is based upon several factors. The following preliminary plat criteria have been
established to assist decision-makers in the review of the subdivision:
(a) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Designation.
The site is designated Residential Single Family (RSF) on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Lands in
the RSF designation are intended for use as quality residential detached development organized into
neighborhoods at urban densities. It is intended that larger subdivision, infill development, and rehabilitation
of existing housing be carefully designed to enhance and improve the quality of single-family living
environments. The proposal is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Community
Design Element policies:
Policy LU-147. Net development densities should fall within a range of 4.0 to 8.0 dwelling units per
acre in Residential Single Family neighborhoods.
The proposed project for two lots would arrive at a net density of 4.88 dwelling units per net acre, which
is within the density range permitted.
Policy LU-148. A minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet should be allowed on in-fill parcels of less than
one acre (43,560 sq. ft.) in single-family designations. Allow a reduction on lot size to 4,500 square feet
on parcels greater than one acre to create an incentive for aggregation of land. The minimum lot size is
not intended to set the standard for density in the designation, but to provide flexibility in
subdivision/plat design and facilitate development within the allowed density range.
AND
Policy LU-152. Single-family lot size, lot width, setbacks, and impervious surface should be sufficient
to allow private open space, landscaping to provide buffers/privacy without extensive fencing, and
sufficient area for maintenance activities.
City staff received several comment letters from the public, expressing concern that small lots were
proposed for the plat, which would not blend in with the surrounding suburban neighborhood
characteristics of large houses on large lots. However, both proposed lots exceed the minimum lot size
of 5,000 square feet by nearly double the square footage required by code. The proposed new lots
would also meet the required lot size, width, and setbacks to create sufficient front, rear, and side yard
areas.

Page 5 ot9
Policy LU-154. Interpret development standards to support new plats and infill project designs
incorporating street locations, lot configurations, and building envelopes that address privacy and
quality of fife for existing residents.
The proposed lots would be oriented with front yards facing west and rear yards facing east. All lots
would have direct access to a public right-of-way (Lynnwood Avenue NE) via private driveways. Rear
yard setbacks of 20 feet would provide enough separation to protect privacy for the abutting lot to the
east. Proposed Lot 2 would have a 5-foot side yard setback from the nearest lot and proposed Lot 1
would have a 5-foot setback from the pipestem abutting to the north. Each lot has more than adequate
buildable area to insure privacy; approval of this application would not decrease the quality of life for
residents in the immediate vicinity.
Policy CD-12. Infill development, defined as new short plats of nine or fewer lots, should be
encouraged in order to add variety, updated housing stock, and new vitality to neighborhoods.
The proposed plat would subdivide an existing parcel into two lots. Two new residences would be
constructed, updating the housing stock in the existing neighborhood.
Policy CD-19. During development, significant trees, either individually or in stands, should be
preserved, replaced, or as a last option, relocated.
The applicant is proposing to remove six of seven significant trees, including those located on a
sensitive slope. Two new trees would be planted in the front yards of each of the new lots.
Policy EN-62. The final identification of environmentally sensitive or critical areas, hazardous sites or
portions of sites should be established during the review of project proposals.
The applicant provided a geotechnical report prepared by Dennis Joule (dated February 12, 2007),
indicating that the average slope of the site is 30%, and delineating two areas of protected slopes
(exceeding 40% grade) onsite. The total area of the protected slope is 3,768 square feet. The report
includes recommendations adopted by the Environmental Review Committee that are sufficient to
address the concerns for safe development of the two lots (Section G3 of this report).
Policy EN-70. Land uses on steep slopes should be designed to prevent property damage and
environmental degradation, and to enhance greenbelt and wildlife habitat values by preserving and
enhancing existing vegetation to the maximum extent possible.
AND
Policy EN-71. Allow land alteration only for approved development proposals or approved mitigation
efforts that will not create unnecessary erosion, undermine the support of nearby land, or unnecessarily
scar the landscape.
The geotechnical report provided by the applicant included several recommendations for protecting the
site (and abutting property to the south} from erosion during the site development process. The
Environmental Review Committee required three mitigation measures to address potential erosion
issues, including compliance with recommendations in the geotechnical report.
(b) Compliance with the Underlying Zoning Designation.
Density -The density calculation for this project is 4.88 du/ac (2 lots/0.41 =4.88), which is within the
allowable range of 4.0-8.0 du/ac in the R-8 zone. The density calculation takes into account the 3,768
sq. ft. of protected slope subtracted from the gross square footage of 21,506 sq. ft. (0.49 ac), resulting
in a gross square footage of 17,738 sq. ft. (0.41 ac). The proposed development would allow for the
future construction of two new residences.
Lot Dimensions -In the R-8 zone the minimum lot width requirement is 50 feet for interior lots and 60
feet for corner lots. The proposed lots would both be considered interior lots. The minimum lot depth
required is 65 feet. For developments less than one acre, the minimum lot size in the R-8 zone is
5,000 square feet. As the following table demonstrates, the two proposed lots conform to all dimension
and lot size requirements.
Size lnrossl Deoth Width
Lot 1 10,761 sq. ft. 150 feet 71.99 feet
Lot 2 10,745 sq. ft. 150 feet 72.00 feet

Setbacks -The Conceptual Grading & Utilities, Existing TopographyfTree Cutting Plan (Exhibit 5),
submitted by the applicant shows potential building envelope lines to address minimum required
setbacks for each lot. Along the north and west property lines there is an existing access and utility
easement (rec. 6030176) that would impact proposed building setbacks. Building setbacks are
measured from an access easement, and as required by the R-8 zone development standards include
a front yard and side yard along a street setback of 15 feet for the primary structure and 20 feet for
attached garages, an interior side yard setback of 5 feet, and a rear yard setback of 20 feet. As a
condition of approval staff recommends that the applicant remove the existing access easement prior
to final plat recording or redesign the buildings to comply with setback measurements from the access
easement.
Both lots would have front yards along Lynnwood Avenue NE.
Building Standards -The R-8 zone permits one residential structure per lot. Each of the proposed lots
would support the construction of one detached unit within the R-8 zone. Accessory structures are
permitted at a maximum number of two per lot at 720 square feet each, or one per lot at 1,000 square
feet in size. Accessory structures are permitted only when associated with a primary structure located
on the same parcel.
Building height in the R-8 zone is limited to two stories and 30 feet for primary structures and 15 feet for
detached accessory structures. The R-8 zone restricts the lot coverage of lots up to 5,000 square feet
in size to a 50% maximum. Lots greater than 5,000 square feet in size are permitted maximum lot
coverage of 35% or 2,500 square feet, whichever is greater.
Compliance of the new single family residences with these building standards would be verified prior to
the issuance of individual building permits.
Parking -Both proposed lots have adequate land area to meet the code requirement for two onsite
parking spots.
Landscaping -The development regulations for the R-8 zone require the installation of landscaping
within the public right-of-way abutting a new plat. The minimum amount of landscaping required for
sites abutting a non-arterial public street, such as Lynnwood Avenue NE, is five feet. The landscaping
proposed shall either consist of drought resistant vegetation or shall be irrigated appropriately. The R-
8 development regulations also require the applicant to plant two trees with a minimum caliper of 1-
1/2' per tree within the front yard area or planting strip of each lot of the plat.
The retention of existing trees on property being developed to the maximum extent feasible is required
pursuant to RMC 4-4-130 H?. In addition, RMC 4-7-130C3 states that reasonable efforts shall be
made to preserve existing trees. The Tree Retention Policy Interpretation clarifies that 25% of the
existing trees on the site must be retained. If they cannot be retained, they may be replaced at a ratio
of 1 :1. Trees required in order to meet other development regulation requirements, such as the two
trees per new lot, may not be counted toward the 25%.
Because this parcel is part of a previous subdivision, street improvements have been made and there
is some landscaping already in place. The site itself is densely vegetated with grasses, shrubs and
seven significant trees. The Conceptual Grading & Utilities, Existing TopographyfTree Cutting Plan
shows the extent of tree retention and existing landscaping'for the plat. Of the seven existing trees on
the site, the applicant proposes retaining one. Much of the other vegetation would likely be removed to
accommodate grading for installation of the two private driveways, and building pads. The detailed
landscape plan required at final plat submittal will need to show the proposed two new trees per lot, as
required. Given the applicant's proposal for a new driveway/curb cut for Lot 2, the final detailed
landscape plan would also need to include landscaping elements for the planting strip along Lynnwood
Avenue NE.
In order to meet Renton Code and Tree Retention Interpretation, as well as to provide for additional
erosion control, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant to save a total of two
trees. If this were not feasible, the applicant would need to propose replanting two conifers. In addition
to the two items mentioned in the paragraph above, the applicant will need to submit a final detailed
landscape plan indicating the chosen alternative for tree retention.

(c) Compliance with Subdivision Regulations
iiminary Report to the Hearing Examiner
LUA07-027 PP ECF
Page lo/9
Lot Arrangement and Access: 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 street standards.
Both lots have side lot lines at right angles to Lynnwood Avenue NE. Both lots access directly to the
street from separate private driveways.
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 satisfies the minimum lot area and dimension requirements of the R-8 zone.
It is clear that the lots will be adequate in size to meet the minimum required setbacks. All lots in the
proposed plat are rectangular in shape. All lots would front Lynnwood Avenue NE, and have direct
public access to this street.
(d) Compliance with Hillside Subdivision Regulations
Application: The applicant has provided adequate drainage in a report titled Preliminary Storm
Drainage Report (T.1.R.) by Baima & Holmberg, dated February 2006 and geotechnical analysis
(previously mentioned} for City staff to determine that the proposed development will not result in soil
erosion and sedimentation, landslide, slippage, excess surface water runoff, or increased costs of
building and maintaining public roads and facilities.
Grading: The applicant's Conceptual Grading & Utilities Plan indicates that there will be extensive
grading to create two level building pads, as well as driveways. New rockeries will be added between
the houses and along the driveways. The applicant proposes a new curb cut in the existing rockery
along the west side of the property line, in order to keep the driveway out of the protected slope area.
Because the project is in the Aquifer Protection Zone 2, if the applicant imports more than 100 cubic
yards offill, a Fill Source Statement will be required.
Lots: Although the City is not requiring it, both lots exceed 10,000 square feet. or twice the minimum lot
size required in the R-8 zone. This provides more than adequate room to allow for the construction of
one single-family residence on each lot, outside of the protected slope areas.
Erosion Control Requirements: Erosion control issues were evaluated during the Environmental
Review process, and as part of the Environmental Review Committee's Mitigation Measures, the
applicant is required to comply with the DOE's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement, outlined in
Volume II of the 1990 Stormwater Management Manual.
(e) Reasonableness of Proposed Boundaries
Access and Street Improvements: New subdivisions must provide adequate access to a public street
for all lots. The Renton Municipal Code requires plats to provide full street improvements on the project
side of the street, across the full frontage of the parcel being developed. The project site has curb,
gutter and sidewalk installed across the frontage of the parcel. Both lots would be accessed off of
Lynnwood Avenue NE via private driveways; there are already two existing curb cuts; however, the
applicant proposes a new curb cut on Lot 2, and eliminating one of the existing curb cuts. Access to
the proposed new lots will require creating openings within the existing 8-foot rockery along the
property's western edge, and support of driveway cut slopes. Any damage to the sidewalk,
landscaping and rockery incurred during construction shall be fully addressed prior to recording of the
plat. As shown, both proposed driveways are 5 feet from the neighboring property lines.
Per RMC 4-4-08016a, the maximum driveway grade for a single-family home shall not exceed 15%;
provided that driveways exceeding 8% shall provide slotted drains at the lower end with positive
drainage discharge to restrict runoff from entering any public sidewalk. To exceed 15% driveway
grade, the applicant must apply for a variance. As a condition of approval, staff recommends that the
applicant redesign the portions of the driveways that exceed 20% to have a slope of less than 15%, or
the applicant would need to apply for a variance.

Topography: The lot slopes downward toward the northwest at an average slope of just over 30%.
There are two areas within the site that are approximately 40%. The steep slope area on the western
side of the site was man made, as it was graded as part of the road construction for Lynnwood Avenue
NE. The steep slope on the eastern portion occurs naturally, but was further enhanced when the owner
to the east graded the driveway.
Adjacent to the west property line there is a rockery that ranges from two to eight feet in height. The
slope above the rockery (within forty feet of the south property line) has been excavated to create a 2:1
slope. There is an existing gravel driveway south and east of the property and a 2:1 cut slope was
excavated along the east property line as part of that drive.
Relationship to Existing Uses: The properties to the west and south of the subject site are single-family
residences and are designated R-8 on the City's zoning map. To the north and east, the properties are
single-family homes within the jurisdiction of the King County zoning regulations. The proposal is
similar to existing development patterns in the area and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and
Zoning Code, which encourage residential infill development.
(f) Availability and Impact on Public Services (Timeliness)
Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention Bureau staff indicate that sufficient resources exist to
furnish services to the proposed development, provided the applicant provide Code required
improvements and fees. Staff recommends a condition of approval requiring the applicant to pay a Fire
Mitigation Fee based of $488.00 for all new single-family structures. The fee is estimated at $976.00 (2
new structures x $488.00 = $976.00) and is payable prior to the recording of the final plat.
A fire hydrant with 1,000 GPM fire flow is required within 300 feet of all new single-family structures. If
the building square footage exceeds 3,600 square feet in area, the minimum fire flow increases to
1,500 GPM and requires two hydrants within 300 feet of the structure. Existing fire hydrants are
required to be retrofitted with Storz "quick disconnect" fittings. Street addresses are required to be
visible from a public street.
Schools: According to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the City of Renton Land Use
Element (January 16, 1992). the City of Renton has a student generation factor of 0.44 students per
single-family residential dwelling. Based on the student generation factor, the proposed plat would
potentially result in approximately one additional student (0.44 x 2 lots = 0.88) who would attend
schools within the Renton School District. The Renton School District states that any children in the
new development would be assigned to Sierra Heights Elementary School, McKnight Middle School, or
Hazen High School.
Storm Water: The project site is located in Aquifer Protection Zone 2. Therefore, the applicant must
provide a Fill Source Statement if more than 100 cubic yards of fill will be imported to the site. Existing
storm drainage facilities are under Lynnwood Avenue NE; the runoff from the new houses must be tight
lined into the storm drainage system. A Surface Water System Development Charges of $759 per new
single-family parcel will be required for this plat. This fee must be paid prior to issuance of the
construction permit for the plat.
Water and Sanitary Sewer Utilities: The proposed plat is located in the City of Renton Water Service
Area in the 565-pressure zone. There is an existing 8" watermain in Lynnwood Ave NE; the project will
not be required to install a watermain. The static pressure is approximately 90 psi. The City of Renton
Water System Development Charges of $1,956.00 per new single-family lot will be required for this
plat. This fee must be paid prior to issuance of the construction permit, which is prior to recording the
plat.
There is an existing 8" sanitary sewer main in Lynnwood Avenue NE; the applicant will need to show
how the news lot will be served with sanitary sewer. Dual sidesewers are not allowed; each new lot
must be served with an individual sidesewer. The applicant is responsible for securing any necessary
easements to serve this plat with sanitary sewer. The proposal is located in the Honey Creek Special
Assessment District. This fee is $250.00 per new lot; and estimated to be $250.00. Sanitary Sewer

System Development Charges of $1,017.00 for one new lot is required. These fees are collected prior
to the issuance of a construction permit, which is prior to the recording of the plat.
Street Improvements and Transportation: The project site has curb, gutter and sidewalk across the
frontage of the parcel being developed; any damage during construction shall be fully addressed prior
to recording the plat. All new electrical, phone and cable services to the plat must be undergrounded.
Construction of these franchise utilities must be inspected and approved by a City of Renton public
works inspector prior to recording of the plat. As a condition of plat approval the applicant will be
required to pay Traffic Mitigation fees of $1,435.50 (based on $75.00 for each new weekday trip
generated per new lot) for two new lots, prior to recording of the plat.
H. RECOMMENDATION

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: The applicant requests a Preliminary Plat and Environmental Review for
a two-lot subdivision at 2604 Lynnwood Ave., NE (Lot 45, Honey Creek Ridge Div. 3). The applicant proposes to
subdivide the 0.49-acre (21,506 sq. ft.) lot into two parcels of 10,761 and 10,745 square feet, for the future
development of two single-family homes. The parcel is located in the R-8 zone, and the proposed project density
is 4.88 du/ac. Both rots would be accessed off of Lynnwood Avenue NE. Due to the presence of 3,768 sq. ft. of
protected slopes that are approximately 40%, the project is subject to Environmental Review. The average slope
across the site exceeds 20% therefore, the project will be reviewed as a Hillside Subdivision and is subject to the
Preliminary Plat process (review by the Hearing Examiner and approval by City Counc~). The site is primarily
vegetated with shrubs, deciduous trees and several large conifers. Most of the existing vegetation would be
removed to construct the residences; some of the existing trees may be able to be retained.

INTRODUCTION
GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT
Proposed Short Plat
Of
Lot 45 Honey Creek Ridge Div. 3
Renton, Washington
February 12, 2007
The project site, located on the east side of Lynnwood Avenue N.E. opposite its intersection
with N.E. 26th Court in Renton, is about half acre in area and approximately square in plan.
The planned development consists of subdividing the property into two single-family residential
lots. Development of this site will involve addressing certain geotechnical issues. The drawings
in Appendix 'A' were created to aid in understanding the recommended development concept.
• The overall steepness of the site will require the houses to step down the slope using
retaining walls as a part of their foundation system as shown in Appendix 'A'. These
drawings are conceptual and the height of the retaining walls may very with different
house locations or dimensions.
• The underlying sandy soils have limited insitu cohesion and, therefore, cannot be relied
on to stand safely at slopes steeper than 1.4: I. Cut slopes steeper than 1.4: 1 may
require temporary construction shoring for safety.
• There is an existing residence adjacent to the upslope (south) property line. Any
excavations made within Lot 2 must consider the foundation for this house. Temporary
construction shoring may be required to prevent loss of subgrade support for this house
during construction. The design of retaining walls adjacent to the Lot 2 south property
line must consider the presence of this residence.
• There is an existing rockery along the west property line of both lots. Access to the lots
will require creating openings within the rockery and support of driveway cut slopes.
• The elevation of the garage floor for each lot must consider an acceptable driveway
slope.
The conceptual site plan and cross sections presented in Appendix 'A' show a feasible layout
for developing two lots within this property. Alternate driveway concepts and house
configurations certainly may be acceptable. Retaining wall heights and the need for temporary
construction shoring will depend on the final site plans for each lot.

INFORMATION PROVIDED
Project 1956
February 12, 2007
A drawing, titled Proposed Short Plat of Lot 45 Honey Creek Ridge Div. 3, dated December
2006, prepared by Baima-Holmberg, Inc, Civil Engineers of Issaquah, was provided. This
drawing includes the site location, dimensions, topography, and proposed lot configuration.
This information was used in preparing the drawing on the opposite page, which also shows the
locations of the backhoe test pits.
SCOPE
The scope of work in this investigation included the following:
1. Subsurface exploration by means of two backhoe test pits,
2. Engineering evaluation and analysis of field data and published documents for the
purpose of providing recommendations regarding the geotechnical aspects of site
development, and
3. Preparation of this report in accordance with Chapters 16 and 18 of the I. B. C.,
presenting the findings and recommendations.
FINDINGS
Surface Conditions
The property slopes down toward the northwest at an average slope of just over thirty percent.
Adjacent to the west property line there is rockery that ranges in height up to eight feet. The
slope above the rockery, within forty feet of the south property line, has been excavated to
create a 2: 1 slope. There is an existing gravel driveway south and east of the property. A 2: 1
cut slope was excavated within this property along the east property line as a part of that drive.
At the time of the field investigation the ground surface was covered with a moderate growth of
native grasses and berry bushes with alder and fir trees. No structures, flowing or standing
water, or wetlands were observed within the property.
Page 2
Geology
Project 1956
February 12, 2007
The site is mapped as Vashon recessional sands and gravels (Galster & Laprade, 1991), The
meltwater sorted material in its path and left very gravelly and sandy sediments that range in
thickness from four to over one hundred feet on the upland terraces.
Subsurface Conditions
The site is mapped by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service as Everett gravelly sandy loam (Ev).
Within the eighteen-foot maximum depth of exploration, the site is underlain by medium dense
to dense slightly silty fine to medium grained sand with some small rounded gravel. The sands
become very slightly cemented below about eight feet. No ground water or wet soil was
encountered in the test pits.
Test pit logs are appended.
CONCLUSIONS
Seismic Considerations
This site is considered to be in Site Class Din accordance with I.B.C. Table 1615.1.1.
Seismic hazards can be divided into two general categories, hazards due to ground rupture and
hazards due to ground shaking. Since no faults are known to pass through the site, the
possibility of earthquake induced ground rupture appears to be remote.
Liquefaction
Even if severe ground shaking were to occur at the site, the medium dense to dense silty sands
encountered in the exploration will not liquefy because they are not saturated and do not have
the characteristics of materials prone to liquefaction under dynamic loads. The sands
encountered are too dense, and their hydraulic conductivity allows dissipation of excessive pour
pressure.
Compressible Soils
No compressible soils were encountered.
Page 3
Expansive Soils
No expansive soils were encountered.
Slope Stability
Project 1956
February 12, 2007
The slopes were field mapped and no evidence of instability was observed. The underlying silty
sands have a natural angle of repose of about seventy percent (slope of 1.4:1). The steepest
slopes within the site are 2: 1 or flatter. The slopes have certainly been subject to seismic
activity in the past, therefore, the present stability of the slopes provides some evidence of future
stability. If the recommendations presented in this report are followed development of this site
should not adversely impact the stability of the slopes.
Forty Percent Slopes
Two areas of slopes forty percent or steeper are shown on the Baima-Holmberg, Inc. survey.
Slope area one is in the southwest corner of the property, and slope area two involves the east
property line.
Slope Area One -This is a 2: 1 cut slope with a maximum height of about twenty feet. The cut
was made as a part of the construction of the adjacent street, Lynnwood Avenue N.E. There is
an existing rockery at the base of the cut slope. Since the cut was created as a part of the
construction of Lynnwood Avenue N.E. and the slope height is only twenty feet, this slope may
be exempt from the regulatory buffer and building setback. It felt that this exemption would not
adversely impact the slope stability, provided the recommendations presented in this report are
followed.
Slope Area Two -This is also a 2: 1 cut slope with a maximum height of about twenty feet. The
cut was made as a part of the construction of the adjacent driveway serving the residence to the
east. Since the cut was created as a part of a legal (assumed) construction and the slope height is
only twenty feet high, this slope may be exempt from the regulatory buffer and building setback.
It felt that this exemption would not adversely impact the slope stability, provided the
recommendations presented in this report are followed.
Groundwater
The test pits were logged during the wet season following heavy rainfall. No seepage, standing
water, wet soil or soil groundwater color indicators were observed within the upper eighteen
feet of soil.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Building Setbacks from the 40% Slopes
Project 195 6
F ebrnary 12, 2007
No buffers or building setbacks are recommended for the slopes within or adjacent to this site.
Development of this property as two residential building sites will require extensive grading and
the construction of structural retaining walls. This construction will lower, remove, or lessen
some of the steep slopes. In any case, the properly designed and constructed grading and
retaining walls should not reduce the slope stability and will likely improve the slope stability.
Site Preparation
Depressions and loose soil zones resulting from the removal of trees, large shrubs, or
underground structures (that may be encountered during construction) should be carefully
backfilled with thoroughly compacted on-site inorganic soil or approved import soil.
The surface of the site within the proposed building and pavement areas should be stripped to
remove vegetation and organic topsoil. Soil containing more than two percent by weight organic
matter should be considered organic. Stripping depths should be decided in the field at the time
of construction but for plarming purposes an average stripping depth of six inches may be
assumed. Strippings may be stockpiled for subsequent use in landscaped areas.
Excavation and Slopes
Temporary cut banks should not exceed slopes of 1.4: I. Permanent cut or fill banks should not
exceed slopes of 2: I. The sandy soils within this site are prone to erosion and exposed slopes
should immediately be covered with visqueen. The visqueen should remain until the exposed
ground is landscaped. Soil stockpiles should be covered with visqueen to prevent saturation and
erosion.
Temporary Shoring
Slopes steeper than 1.4: 1 carmot be trusted to stand safely. Where it is necessary to create
temporary construction slopes steeper than 1.4: 1 temporary shoring should be used. Temporary
shoring may be designed using the soil design parameters presented in the section below
regarding retaining walls.
Page 5
Grading and Compaction
Project 1956
February 12, 2007
The only structural fill anticipated is behind the retaining walls. The onsite sands will provide
an acceptable structural fill material. Stripped soil surfaces in those areas to receive structural
fill, foundations, slabs-on-grade, or pavements, should be scarified to a depth of at least six
inches. The soil should be moisture conditioned (or allowed to dry) to produce a moisture
content of two percent above the optimum value and then compacted to a density equivalent to at
least 95 percent of the maximum value as determined by ASTM Test D1557-70.
Structural fill using on-site inorganic soil should be placed in layers not exceeding eight inches
in loose thickness, conditioned with water (or allowed to dry) and compacted to the
requirements described previously.
Utility Trenches
Utility trench excavation can be performed with conventional mechanical equipment to depths up
to eighteen feet. Excavations up to eighteen feet should not encounter groundwater.
Vertical trench excavations within the underlying sands will not stand safely vertical, but may
slough to the natural angle of repose of 1.4: I.
For the purposes of this section of the report, backfill is material placed in a trench starting one
foot above the pipe or conduit or at the top of concrete formed around the pipe or conduit; and
bedding is all material placed in a trench below the backfill. Unless concrete bedding is
required around utility pipe or conduits, free draining sand should be used as bedding. Sand
bedding should be compacted by mechanical means to a density equivalent to at least 95 percent
of the compaction test maximum (ASTM D1557-70). Trench backfill should be placed in
horizontal layers not exceeding 6 inches in loose thickness and compacted by mechanical means
at least 95 percent of the compaction test maximum (ASTM D1557-70).
Retaining Walls
Retaining wall constructed as part of the foundation system cannot be allowed to "rotate",
developing "active" soil pressures. Therefore an "at rest" lateral soil coefficient of 0.5 should
be used. Retaining walls may be designed using the equivalent fluid pressure method. For non-
compacted onsite sands an average backfill soil unit weight of 90-lb/cu ft may be assumed
(lateral pressure would then be 45-lb/cu ft). For compacted structural fill using the onsite sands
an average backfill soil unit weight of 106-lb/cu ft may be assumed (lateral pressure would then
be 53-lb/cu ft).
The lateral coefficient of sliding between the concrete base and the soil may be designed at 0.25
for the underlying sands.
Page 6
Project 1956
February 12, 2007
Passive pressures of 250-lb/cu ft may be used for compact onsite sands. Passive pressures of
350-lb/cu ft may be used for undisturbed dense onsite sands more than eight feet below the
existing ground surface ..
With respect to I.B.C. 1802.2.7.1, seismic earth pressure acting on retaining walls within this
project may be calculated as: Pse,,m,, lb/ft2 = (4 lb/ft3)(H,w). Note: H,w is the retained soil height
in feet, Pse,,m,, is a rectangular pressure diagram added to the triangular static pressure diagram.
Any adjacent load, such an adjacent footing, must be considered in the retaining wall design.
Rockeries
Rockeries are not earth retaining structures. Rockeries may be used as slough walls against
stable earth cuts or MSE (mechanically stabilized earth) fills only. It is recommended that new
rockeries not be constructed over six five high on this site. Rockery construction must comply
with the ARC Standard Rock Wall Construction Guidelines. Rockeries often require continued
maintenance and, therefore, should be accessible.
Embedded Post or Columns
When designing posts or poles as embedded columns in accordance with I.B.C. Table 1804.2,
lateral bearing may be taken at 150 lb/ft2/ft depth below ground surface.
Building Foundations
The proposed single family residential buildings may be supported on conventional shallow
foundations bearing on firm natural soil.
Reinforced concrete continuous footings may be designed to impose pressures on foundation
soils up to 2000 pounds per square foot from dead plus normal live loading provided the
resulting foundation width is not less than 12 inches for one story, 15 inches for two story, and
18 inches for three story portions of the structure.
No individual piers should be used. Interior loads should be supported on interior reinforced
continuous footings. These footings should be connected to the exterior footings and the
reinforcing steel lapped onto the reinforcing steel from the exterior footings. The perimeter
footing should extend under the garage door.
Where footings are constructed adjacent to downslope cut banks or slopes, there is to be a
minimum 2: I slope drawn between the bottom of the footing (point nearest the slope) and the toe
of the cut bank, slope, or toe any adjacent downslope rockery.
Page 7
Project 1956
February 12, 2007
Foundations should be embedded at least eighteen inches below existing grade or adjacent
finished grade, whichever is lower.
Total Differential Settlement
No compressible soils were encountered within the building areas. Soils are uniform in
compactness and thickness within each building pad. Therefore, the total differential settlement
for buildings designed and constructed in accordance with the recommendations presented in this
report should be negligible. Settlement should occur during the initial framing period.
Concrete Slabs-On-Grade
Concrete floor slab should be constructed on compact soil subgrades prepared as described in
the sections under Grading and Compaction.
Where floor dampness must be minimized, a minimum 4-inch section of capillary break material
covered with a membrane vapor barrier should be placed between the floor slab and the compact
soil subgrade. The capillary break should be free draining, clean gravel or rock, such as 3/8"
pea gravel. The membrane vapor barrier should be at least 10-mil thick polyethylene or its
equivalent.
Where floor dampness is not objectionable, concrete slabs may be laid directly on the compact
soil subgrade.
Footing and Retaining Wall Drains
Footing drains are required for all footings, retaining walls, and rockeries. A perforated
drainpipe should be placed at the upslope base of the footing. The drainpipe should be covered
with at least a twelve-inch wide zone of washed 1/2" to l" drainrock. The drainrock layer
should be about twelve inches thick for footings and should extend at least half way up the back
of retaining walls. The drainrock should be covered with filter fabric paper, and a layer of
native soil should be placed over filter fabric as a soil cap.
Soil Infiltration Data
This site not considered suitable for the use of infiltration or groundwater recharge systems
because of the steep slopes.
Page 8
Surface Drainage and Landscaping
Project 1956
February 12, 2007
Site soils are very prone to erosion. Drainage pipe should be provided to catch and dispose of
downspout rainwater. Driveways and walkways should be provided with catch basins to collect
surface water. Surface drainage gradients should be planned to prevent ponding and to direct
surface water away from the building, slabs, edges of pavements, and towards suitable collection
and discharge facilities.
Drainage from each lot should be discharged into an approved storm sewer. Do not allow
surface drainage to flow over any steep or exposed slope.
LIMITATIONS
Changes in development plans will render these specific recommendations invalid unless such
changes are reviewed by this office and these recommendations modified accordingly.
Subsurface exploration of any site is necessarily confined to selected locations, and conditions
may and often do vary between these locations. Should varied conditions come to light during
project development these conditions should be reported to this office for evaluation.
PLAN REVIEW AND INSPECTION DURING CONSTRUCTION
It is recommended that this office be retained to review the building plans to verify compatibility
with this site and compliance with this geotechnical report and inspect each foundation subgrade
once the building pad has been constructed.

Appendix A
Possible House Configuration
To Show Development Feasibility & Geotechnical Issues
Possible House Configurations
These possible house configurations are presented in generic form to
show that it is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint to subdivide the
property into two lots and develop each lot with a single-family residence.
The actual house locations, dimensions, and elevations may vary from
those shown here.
Because of the site topography the location and elevation of each garage
must be carefully selected to allow for an acceptable driveway slope and
acceptable retaining wall heights.
Construction slopes may not exceed 1.4:1. While these slopes may stand
when initially constructed they will not be safe during the construction
process. Construction of the building pads and retaining walls may be
planned to minimize the need for construction slopes in excess of 1.4:1
and the resulting need for temporary shoring.
The recommendations and geotechnical design parameters presented in
this geotechnical engineering report are to be used by the architects and
engineers designing site plans, house configurations, and retaining walls
for the future houses within this site.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: The applicant requests a Preliminary Plat and Environmental Review for
a two-lot subdivision at 2604 Lynnwood Ave., NE (Lot 45, Honey Creek Ridge Div. 3). The applicant proposes to
subdivide the 0.49-acre (21,506 sq. ft.) lot into two parcels of 10,761 and 10,745 square feet, for the future
development of two single-family homes. The parcel is located in the R-8 zone, and the proposed project density
is 4.88 du/ac. Both lots would be accessed off of Lynnwood Avenue NE. Due to the presence of 3,768 sq. ft. of
protected slopes that are approximately 40%, the project is subject to Environmental Review. The average slope
across the site exceeds 20% therefore, the project will be reviewed as a Hillside Subdivision and is subject to the
Preliminary Plat process (review by the Hearing Examiner and approval by City Council). The site is primarily
vegetated with shrubs, deciduous trees and several large conifers. Most of the existing vegetation would be
removed to construct the residences; some of the existing trees may be able to be retained.

I. The applicant will be required to comply with the recommendations found in the geotechnical
report titled "Proposed Short Plat of Lot 45 Honey Creek Ridge Div. 3," prepared by Dennis
Joule (dated February 12, 2007).
2. The project shall comply with the DOE's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement, outlined in
Volume II of the 1990 Stormwatcr Management Manual.
3. Major earthwork shall occur only between the months of April-October.
D. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
In compliance with RCW 43.21 C. 240, the following project environmental review addresses
only those project impacts that are 1101 adequately addressed under existing development
standards and environmental regulations.
1. Earth
Impacts: The lot slopes downward toward the northwest at an average slope of just over 30%. Per RMC
4-7-220, this project qualifies as a Hillside Subdivision (average slope great than 20%) and is subject to
review by the Hearing Examiner (scheduled for May 15th, 2007) and approval by City Council. There are
two areas within the site that are approximately 40%. The steep slope area on the western side of the site
was man made, as it was graded as part of the road construction for Lynnwood Avenue NE. The steep
slope on the eastern portion occurs naturally, but was further enhanced when the owner to the east graded
the access road.
Adjacent to the west property line there is a rockery that ranges from two to eight feet in height. The
slope above the rockery (within forty feet of the south property line) has been excavated to create a 2: I
slope. There is an existing gravel driveway south and east of the property and a 2:1 cut slope was
excavated along the east property line as part of that drive. There are two existing curb cuts along
Lynnwood Avenue NE. Access to the proposed new lots will require creating openings within the
existing 8-foot rockery along the property's western edge, and support of driveway cut slopes.
A geotechnical report was prepared by Dennis Joule (dated February 12, 2007) and submitted as part of
the applicant's Preliminary Plat application. The report concludes that the overall steepness of the site
will require the houses to step down the slope using retaining walls as part of their foundation system.

PHUNG PRELIMINARY PLAT
Envir ntal Review CommiJtee Staff Report
LUA07-027, PP, ECF
REPORT AND DECISION OF APRIL 16, 2007 Page 3 of5
The underlying sandy soils have limited in situ cohesion and, therefore, cannot be relied on to stand safely
at slopes steeper than 1.4: 1. Cut slopes steeper than 1.4: 1 may require temporary construction shoring for
safety. Maintaining a driveway slope less than 15% is also a priority.
The report also states that no buffers or building setbacks are recommended for the slopes within or
adjacent to this site. Development of the property will require extensive grading to create access to the
building pads, and construction of structural retaining walls. Grading will consist of excavation of the
driveways, excavation of material for the leveling of building pads, installation ofrockeries and/or
retaining walls and general lot leveling. Grading quantities are estimated to be less than 10,000 cubic
yards ( maximum).
Properly designed and constructed grading and retaining walls should not reduce the slope stability and
will likely improve the slope stability. The report recommends that new rockeries not be constructed over
six feet in height. The applicant proposes to clear the majority of the site, but could possibly maintain
some of the existing trees. Staff recommends that the applicant be required to follow the
recommendations found in the geotechnical report by Dennis Joule (dated February 12, 2007).
There is an existing residence adjacent to the upslope (South) property line. Any excavations made on
proposed Lot 2 must consider the foundation for this neighboring house. Temporary construction shoring
may be required to prevent loss of subgrade support for this house during construction. The design of
retaining walls adjacent to the southern property line of Lot 2 must consider the presence of this
residence.
Given the fact that the parcel has an average slope of 30%, and approximately 3,768 sq. ft. of protected
slopes, there is the potential for erosion to occur from the project site. Staff recommends as a mitigation
measure that erosion control be maintained on the project site during construction, per the standards in the
1990 Department of Ecology's (DOE) Stonnwater Management Manual. To further protect from the risk
of erosion, especially given the presence of the existing house on the abutting lot to the south, staff
recommends that major earthwork occur during the dry summer months between April-October.
Mitigation Measures:
I. The applicant will be required to comply with the recommendations found in the geotechnical
report titled "Proposed Short Plat of Lot 45 Honey Creek Ridge Div. 3," prepared by Dennis
Joule (dated February 12, 2007).
2. The project shall comply with the DOE's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement, outlined in
Volume II of the 1990 Stormwater Management Manual.
3. Major earthwork shall occur only between the months of April-October.

RECE\'JEO
We are the homeowners in the adjacent lot just north of the above referenced lot. We are
very concerned about the development of this lot and the affect it may have on our
property.
Our concerns are as follows:
1. This plot is on a very steep hillside with several dead alder trees that could
potentially fall on our house. We would like to see these trees removed prior
to the start of any construction.
2. The driveway, belonging to the owners of9640 122"d Avenue Southeast, is
already caving in underneath their existing curb, pushing our retaining wall
and dirt farther into our property. Therefore, we would strongly oppose use of
this driveway during construction. Any heavy equipment run up this
driveway is going to impact our property negatively.
3. We are also concerned about the construction causing the hillside to push into
our property and causing further settling of our house on our lot.
I would appreciate your reviewing our concerns and letting us know what if anything will
be done to minimize the impact on our property.
Thank you.
Sincerely, 1 . ' ,,-, ..P . -

I own property directly across the street from the above proposal, and write to object to any
approval for this subdivision.
I learned of this project after a sign was erected on the subject property on February 12, 2007.
The posting of this sign is the very first public notice given to any of the immediate neighbors
concerning this proposal. The proposal is at odds with the current character and density of the
neighborhood, and is a direct violation of the covenants, conditions, and restrictions of the
Honey Creek Ridge development.
Please add my name to your mailing list and provide notices of all future hearings and activity on
this matter to the undersigned.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation.

RE: Bau short Plat, Lot 45, Honey Creek Ridge Division 3
FEB , ~ 2007
BUILDING DIVISION
Please be advised that this household is opposed to the sub-division oflot 45. There are at
least two compelling reasons.
First, the grade of the property is such that to add two driveways could cause the houses
to be of reduced size with virtually no available yard. The majority of the lot would be
driveway and as a result allow little attractive landscaping. It would be inconsistent with
the nature of the subdivision. It would tend to degrade the value of the subdivision.
Second, as President of the Homeowners Association we have not been advised of the
design and specifications of the proposed structures. There has been no presentation to
the Architectural Control Committee. It is the consensus of our community that a division
of this lot would tend to devalue the adjacent properties.
The owner of the adjacent lot has a reasonably complained that to crowd two houses onto
that lot would significantly diminish his present view and degrade the value of his home.
I respectfully request that you do not approve the subdivision of Lot 45 in Division 3.
Yours truly,
4,
Roddis Jones

PreApplication Review Comments PREAPP No. 06-150
Bau Short Plat
NOTE ON PRELIMINARY REVIEW COMMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT:
The following comments on development and permitting issues are based on the pre-application
submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant. The applicant is cautioned that information
contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official decision
makers (e.g. Hearing Examiner, Boards of Adjustment, Board of Public Works and City Council).
Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes
required by the City or made by the applicant.
I have reviewed the preliminary application for this 2-lot short plat, located at the vicinity of
2600 Lynnwood Ave NE and have the following comments:
WATER
1. The subject property is within the City of Renton's water service area, in the 565-pressure
zone gradient. The project is within the City's aquifer protection zone 2.
2. There is an existing 8-inch water line in Lynnwood Ave, that can deliver a maximum
flowrate of 2,500 gallon per minute (gpm) and the static pressure at the main line is
approximately 90 psi at street level (reference City project plan no. W-2160)
3. Per Renton Fire code, all new single-family construction, not exceeding 3,600 square-feet of
gross building area (including garage), must have a fire hydrant capable of delivering a
minimum of 1,000 gpm and the hydrant must be located within 300 feet of the structures.
Existing hydrants will require a quick disconnect Storz fitting, if not already in place.
4. New water service stubs to each lot must be installed prior to recording of plat.
5. The Water System Development Charge (SDC) would be triggered at the single-family rate
of $1,956 per new single-family per building lot. This fee is payable at the time the utility
construction permit is issued.
SANITARY SEWER
1. There is an existing 8" sewer main, to the southerly portion of the parcel, on Lynnwood Ave
NE.
2. Each lot shall have separate side sewers. Side sewers shall be minimum of 6" and 2% slope.
3. These parcels are subject to the Honey Creek Special Assessment District fee. Fees are
$250.00 per lot. These fees are payable prior to the utility permit is issued.
Bau Short Plat 12/28/2006 Page2
4. The Sanitary Sewer System Development Charges (SDC) is $1,017 per lot. These are
payable at the time the utility construction permit is issued.
SURFACE WATER
l. This site appears to drain to Honey Creek basin.
2. A preliminary drainage plan and drainage report will be required with the site plan
application. The report shall address detention and water quality requirements as outlined in
the 1990 King County Surface Water Manual. If preliminary calculations indicate detention
will be required under the 1990 manual, staff will recommend a condition that the project
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.
3. The Surface Water System Development Charges (SDC) is $759.00 per dwelling unit. The
fee is payable at the time the utility construction permit is issued.
TRANSPORTATION
l. Street improvements including, but not limited to paving, sidewalks, curb and gutter, storm
drain and landscape will be required along the frontage of the parcel with Lynnwood Ave
NE, if not already in place.
2. Traffic mitigation fees of $75 per additional generated trip shall be assessed per single
family home at a rate of 9.57 trips.
3. All wire utilities shall be installed underground per the City of Renton Undergrounding
Ordinance. If three or more poles necessitate to be moved by the development design, all
existing overhead utilities shall be placed underground.
GENERAL COMMENTS
I. All required utility, drainage and street improvements will require separate plan submittals
prepared according to City of Renton drafting standards by a licensed Civil Engineer.
2. Permit application must include an itemized cost of construction estimate for these
improvements.
The fee for review and inspection of these improvements is 5% of the first $100,000 of the
estimated construction costs; 4% of anything over $100,000 but less than $200,000, and 3%
of anything over $200,000. Half the fee must be paid upon application.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 28, 2006
TO: Pre-Application File No. 06-150
FROM: Valerie Kinas!, Associate Planner, (425) 430-7270
SUBJECT: Bau Short Plat
General: We have completed a preliminary review of the pre-application for the above-referenced
development proposal. The following comments on development and permitting issues are
based on the pre-application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant and the
codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this
summary may be:subject to modification and/or concurrence by official decision-makers (e.g., Hearing
Examiner, Zoning Administrator, Public Works Administrator, and City Council). Review comments
may also need to 'be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by City staff or
made by the applicant. The applicant is encouraged to review all applicable sections of the Renton
Municipal Code. The Development Regulations are available for purchase for $50.00 plus tax, from
the Finance Divisron on the first floor of City Hall.
Project Proposal: The subject property is located on the northern edge of the city on the east side
of Lynwood Ave. NE at NE 26'" Court. The proposal is to subdivide an approximately 21,505 sq. ft.
(0.49 acre) parcel into two lots, for future development of detached single-family residences. There
are no structures on the site. The property is zoned Residential -8 dwelling units per acre. The
proposed lot sizes are just under 11,000 sq. ft.. Both lots would have direct access to Lynnwood Ave.
NE. There are protected steep slopes on the parcel.
Zoning/Density Requirements: The subject property is located within the Residential -8 dwelling
units per acre (R-~) zoning designation. The density range required in the R-8 zone is a minimum of
4.0 to a maximum of 8.0 dwelling units per acre (duiac). Access easements, areas dedicated to right-
of-way, and critical areas must be deducted from the gross lot area when calculating density. In the
case of the Bau Short Plat the protected steep slopes were delineated, but the total area was not
provided. Staff estimates the area of protected slopes to be about 3,000 sq. ft. So the net density of
the two lot plat would be approximately 4.7 units per acre (21,505 sq. ft. -3,000 sq. ft.= 18,505 sq. ft.
or 0.4248 acres. 4 lots/ 0.4248 acres= 4.7 units per acre). This would fall within the permitted density
range in the zone,
Development Standards: The R-8 zone permits one residential structure/ unit per lot, detached
accessory structures are permitted at a maximum number of two per lot at 720 square feet each, or
one per lot at 1,000 square feet in size.
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth -The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 is 4,500 square feet
for lots greater than 1 acre in size and 5,000 square feet for lots 1 acre or less in size. A minimum lot
width of 50 feet for interior lots and 60 feet for corner lots, as well as a minimum lot depth of 65 feet, is
also required. The total area of the proposed subdivision is less than 1 acre, so the minimum lot size
is 5,000 square feet. The applicant did not list the lot sizes of the two proposed lots, but at
approximately 11,000 sq. ft., they would meet the minimum lot size requirement. The lots would also
meet the minimum lot width and depth requirements.
Building Standards -The R-8 zone allows a maximum building coverage of 35% of the lot area or
2,500 square fee( whichever is greater for lots over 5,000 square feet in size. Building height is
restricted to 30 feet and 2-stories. Detached accessory structures must be below a height of 15 feet
and one-story. The gross floor area must be less than that of the primary structure. Accessory
structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations. The new house would be checked at
the time of building permit review.
Bau Short Plat Pre-Application __ ting
December 28, 2006

Setbacks -Setba_cks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the
property line or private access easement. The required setbacks in the R-8 zone are 15 feet in front
for the primary structure and 20 feet in front for the attached garage, 20 feet in the rear, 5 feet for
interior side yards, and 15 feet for side yards along streets (including access easements) for the
primary structure and 20 feet for side yards along streets (including access easements) for attached
garages. The proposed lot sizes allow enough room to meet setbacks. Even considering the location
of the protected slopes, which can't be built on, the lots would provide enough area to meet setbacks.
Access/Parking: Street improvements, including curbs, gutter and sidewalks, are required along
the frontage of properties when they are subdivided. If these are not in place they would need to be
constructed. The applicant may ask to have this requirement deferred, but a fee-in-lieu of would be
required at a rate that it would cost the City to construct these improvements. The money would go to
a general street improvement fund and not necessarily be used on improvements along the applicant's
site.
Both lots would have direct access from Lynnwood Ave. NE. Each lot must allow for the parking of
two vehicles on the property.
Landscaping: Landscaping is required along the frontage of all new short plats. A 5 ft. wide
irrigated or drought resistant landscape strip is the minimum amount of landscaping necessary for a
site abutting a non-arterial public street. A 5 ft. landscape strip will be required in the right-of-way,
where possible, and on the lots themselves where there is not enough space for the strip in the
right-of-way.
The tree requirement for short plats is at least two trees of a City approved species with a minimum
caliper of 1 1 /2 inches in the front yard or planting strip on every lot. The trees must be planted prior to
building occupancy.
A Conceptual Lbndscape Plan, showing the two trees per lot and the plantings in the 5 ft.
landscape strip,' as defined in RMC 4-8-1200 must be submitted at the time of application. A
Detailed Landscape Plan will be required at submittal for final short plat review.
Critical Areas: There are protected steep slopes on two portions of the parcel. The slopes were
delineated, but the area of the slopes was not provided. A geotechnical report will be required. It
must include recommendations on the placement of the house and foundations.
Significant Tree Retention: A tree inventory and a tree retention plan shall be provided with the
formal land use application. The tree retention plan must show preservation of at least 25% of
significant trees [those with a minimum diameter of 8-inch (evergreen) or 12-inch (deciduous) when
measured four feet above grade], and indicate how proposed building footprints will be sited to
accommodate preservation of significant trees that will be retained. The following species are exempt
from the retention requirements outside of critical areas:
All Populus species including cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa), quaking aspen (Populus
tremuloides), lombardy poplar (Populus nigra "ltalica"), etc.
All Alnus species which includes red alder (Alnus oregona), black alder (Alnus glutinosa),
white alder (Alnus rhombifolia), etc.
Salix species which includes weeping willow (Salix babylonica), etc., unless along a stream
bank and'away from paved areas.
All Platanus species which include London plane tree (Platanus acerifolia), American
sycamore, buttonwood (Platanus occidentalis), etc.
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The existing development is located within the
Residential Single Family (RSF) Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation. The following proposed
policies are applicable to the proposal:

Objective LU-FF: Encourage re-investment and rehabilitation of existing housing, and development
of new residential plats resulting in quality neighborhoods that: 1) Are planned at urban densities and
implement Growth Management targets, 2) Promote expansion and use of public transportation; and
3) Make more efficient use of urban services and infrastructure.
Policy LU-149. Lot size should exclude private sidewalks, easements, private road, and driveway
easements, except alley easements.
Policy LU-150. Required setbacks should exclude public or private legal access areas, established
through or to a lot, and parking areas.
Policy LU-152. Single-family lot size, lot width, setbacks, and impervious surface should be sufficient
to allow private open space, landscaping to provide buffers/privacy without extensive fencing, and
sufficient area for maintenance activities.
Policy LU-154. Interpret development standards to support new plats and infill project designs
incorporating stre)3t locations, lot configurations, and building envelopes that address privacy and
quality of life for existing residents.
Community Desi~n Element
Policy CD-12. Infill development, defined as new short plats of nine or fewer lots, should be
encouraged in or\Jer to add variety, updated housing stock, and new vitality to neighborhoods.
Policy CD-13. Infill development should be reflective of the existing character of established
neighborhoods even when designed using different architectural styles, and/or responding to more
urban setbacks, height or lot requirements. Infill development should draw on elements of existing
development such as placement of structures. vegetation, and location of entries and walkways, to
reflect the site planning and scale of existing areas.
Permit Requirements: To subdivide the lot, the applicant must make formal submittal for
Administrative Short Plat Review. A submittal checklist, listing the items that must be included in
the submittal packet to the City, was included in the information given the applicant at the pre-
application meeting. Short plats are processed administratively within an estimated time frame of 6 to
8 weeks for preliminary short plat approval. The application fee is $1,000.00. The applicant will be
required to install•a public information sign on the property. Detailed information regarding the land
use application submittal is provided in the attached handouts.
Due to the presence of protected slopes, Environmental Review will also be required on the short
plat. This will be Carried out concurrently with short plat review at an additional cost of $500.
,'
Once preliminary short plat approval is received, the applicant must complete any required
improvements, such as putting in sidewalks, a fire hydrant or grading. A separate construction permit
is required for these improvements. The applicant must also satisfy any conditions of the preliminary
approval before the plat can be recorded. The newly created lots may be sold only after the plat has
been recorded. The applicant can submit for a building permit review for the new house before the
short plat is recorded, but the City can only issue the building permit when the plat has been recorded.
Fees: In addition to the fees for review of the land-use, construction and building permits, the
following mitigation fees would be required prior to the recording of the plat.
• A Transportation Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each new average daily
trip attributable to the project; and,
• A Fire Mitigation Fee based on $488.00 per new single-family residence.
A handout listing all of the City's Development related fees in attached for your review.
Expiration: Upon preliminary short plat approval, the preliminary short plat approval is valid for two
years with a possible one-year extension.

the road construction for Lynwood Ave NE. The slopes on the eastern
portion of the site were created when the owner to the east graded the
access road. A geotechnical report was prepared for the project. The
geotechnical report discusses the fact that both of the steep slope areas
within the site were created as a part of permitted grading activity and are
therefore not subject to regulation. As a result, a Modification Request is
not a part of the preliminary application submittal package.

The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21 C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to
consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the
quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the
agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be
done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal.
Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most
precise information known, or give the best description you can.
You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases,
you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need
to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write
"do not know'' or "does not apply''. Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary
delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark
designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can
assist you.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of
time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal
or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your
answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant
adverse impact.
USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS:

PHUNG SHORT PLAT
SECTION I: PROJECT NARRATIVE
The proposed Phung Short Plat property is located within the City of Renton, Washington.
The site is generally to the east of the NE 26th Court/ Lynnwood Ave NE intersection within
the Honey Creek Ridge subdivision. The site is currently known as Lot 45 of Honey Creek
Ridge Division III. The current address is 2604 Lynnwood Ave NE. When the Honey Creek
Ridge project was constructed, a 6" PVC storm drainage stub, a water service stub, and a
sanitary sewer stub was provided to the site.
A vicinity map showing the location of the site is provided in this section. The site area is
21,505 sq. ft. (.49 acres). The site is within a portion of the NEV.. of the NWl/4 ofS4, T 23
N,RSE,WM.
The proposal is to subdivide the site into 2 single-family residential lots. A preliminary short
plat plan sheet plan sheet showing the existing conditions of the site, and the proposed
location of the new lot with access has been included in the Preliminary application submittal
package. There are no existing structures within the site.

SECTION II: CORE REQUIREMENTS
The following is a narrative describing how the proposed Phung 2-Lot single family residential
Short Plat will satisfy the Core Requirements as provided in Section 1.2 of the 2005 King
County Surface Water Drainage Manual.
Core Requirement #1: Discharge At The Natural Location
The stormwater design of Honey Creek Ridge
Core Requirement #2: Level 1 Off-Site Analysis
Section III ofthis report contains a description of the downstream system from the
existing storm CB along the frontage of the site down to the Honey Creek/ May
Creek confluence.
Please be aware that the detail of the provided information is proportionate to the
potential impact to the off-site downstream system considering the fact that the
proposal is to add only one additional residence within the site.
Core Requirement #3: Flow Control
The project is exempt from flow control based upon the 1990 KCSWDM. See Section
IV of this preliminary report.
Core Requirement #4: Conveyance System
No conveyance systems are proposed for the project at this time. If any conveyance
systems are required as a result of preliminary short plat approval, the systems will be
provided in the engineering plan set and TIR provided at the time of Engineering plan
review.
Core Requirement #5: Erosion And Sedimentation Control
At the time of engineering design for the project, a separate plan sheet with
appropriate notes, and details will be provided -if required. The plan sheet will be
prepared in accordance with the 2005 KCSWDM.
Core Requirement #6: Maintenance And Operations
Due to the small size of the project, no Maintenance and Operations are proposed at
this time.
Core Requirement #7 :Financial Guarantees and Liability
Any Financial Guarantees and Liability requirements that may be placed on the
project will be addressed by the applicant prior to the approval of the engineering
design.
Core Requirement #8:Water Quality
The 1990 KCSWDM Section 1.2.3 requires Water Quality facilities when the project
creates 5, OOOsq. ft. of new pollution generating impervious surface (PGIS). The
existing stormwater facility was designed to accommodate one new residence within
the site. Therefore, it is argued that the proposal will not be generating an additional
5,000sq. ft. of PGIS and is exempt from this requirement.
Special Requirement # 1: Other Adopted Requirements
At this time, there are no known other Adopted Requirements that apply to the
proposal.
Special Requirement #2: Floodplain/ Floodway Delineation
This item is not applicable for the project.
Special Requirement #3: Flood Protection Facilities
This item is not applicable for the project.
Special Requirement #4: Source Control
Compliance with this item (if required) will be addressed at the time of engineering
plan review.
Special Requirement #5: Oil Control
Compliance with this item (if required) will be addressed at the time of engineering
plan review.
PHUNG SHORT PLAT
SECTION III: LEVEL I OFF-SITE ANALYSIS
This section contains a downstream analysis for the site. The Site has been visited on many
occasions in the past. The most recent site visit occurred on Thursday February 8, 2007.
Stormwater generated from the two residences and the southern driveway will be able to be
intercepted by the existing stormwater conveyance system within the Honey Creek Ridge
subdivision. The stormwater is conveyed to the water quality and detention facility located
within Tract A of Honey Creek Ridge Division I.
Stormwater leaving Tract A is conveyed within a closed drainage system to the edge of Honey
Creek. Stormwater enters Honey Creek at the approximate location of Station 7+00 of the
description that is provided in Section V -Appendix.
Part of the Lot I driveway and a small portion of the northern part of the Lot I yard will bypass
the storm drainage system.
PHUNG SHORT PLAT
SECTION IV: PRELIMINARY STORM DESIGN INFORMATION
Stormwater detention has been provided for a single residence within lot 45 of Honey Creek
Ridge Division III. The stormwater facility is within Tract A of Honey Creek Ridge Division 1.
The facility was designed using the 1990 KCSWDM and flow control was Stream Protection
Standards. It is argued that one of the lots is vested and needs no further consideration.
There is an existing Roof and footing stub located somewhere near the southwest comer of
proposed Lot 2. A visual inspection of the nearest CB adjacent to the SW comer of proposed
Lot 2 revealed that a 6" PVC enters from the east.
The proposed improvements for proposed Lot I will be less than 5,000sfofnew impervious
area. Therefore detention is not required. The invert of the existing CB to the south of the
southwest comer of Lot I is 351.34. A 6" PVC can be cored into the east side of the structure
and the line can serve the new residence and a portion of the drive. Approximately half of the
new drive will bypass the system.
The soils within the site may be able to provide partial infiltration prior to overflowing into the
storm drainage system. This possibility will be pursued at the time of engineering design
subsequent to the Preliminary approval of the Short Plat.

The following information is provided in this section:
1. Copy of Section VII Downstream Analysis narrative from the Honey Creek Ridge TIR.
Note: The geotechnical report has been provided separetaly.
SECTION VII. DOWNSTREAM ANALYSIS
A Level 1 Downstream Analysis was walked on January 5, 1993. The distances along the stream
were obtained using a standard hand pushed measuring wheel rolled along the access road
adjacent to the stream. North of the Devil's Elbow, within the King County Parks Department
property there is an old road approximately 100' to the east of the stream. Distances were
measured along the road and at convenient locations the stream was observed and described. At
the confluence with May Creek, the Honey Creek stream bed was walked (crawled) for the entire
distance back upstream to the Devil's Elbow roadway. The following is a description of the
observed downstream system from the proposed outfall of the Basin B facility to the confluence
of Honey Creek and May Creek -approximately .42 miles.
Included in this section is a copy of the City Of Renton topographic map at 1 "=200' with the
locations of the significant features identified.
Station Description
0+-00 Proposed location of the Basin B outfall at an existing 12" ACP cross
drainage pipe adjacent to the Sanitary Sewer (SS) gravel access road. The stream flows from
the south the north.
o+oo to 2+87 Stream channel is 12' to 15' wide with gravel cobble and boulders at the
proposed Basin B detention facility outfall. Clear water is flowing at approx. 1 to 2 cfs.
Channel side slopes range from vertical 1' bench with 2: 1 and 3: 1 side slopes on the west side
and I: 1 to 6: 1 on the east side. The channel between the proposed pond outfall and the
bridge is characterized by pools followed by riffles that range from 4' to 12' wide.
Immediately upstream of the bridge is a pool created by a low sandbag berm of two bags high
at the head of a riffle causing water to back up into a circular basin. It appears that the
sandbag berm was intended to create the pool rather than to provide protection to the gabion
bridge abutment which showed no indication of needing protection.
2+87 Bridge wood structure. The bridge has a 20' span. The bottom of the
bridge deck is approx. 8' above the channel. Stream bed is 18' wide. The bridge is supported
on rock filled gabion baskets with a concrete cap. The sewer line access road crosses the
bridge and parallels the stream on the west side.
5+22 The stream enters a 52" concrete culvert a short distance south of the S.S.
Lift Station. The culvert is approx. 1/2 filled with gravel. There is a buildup of organic debris
around the top of the culvert that indicates a time when the pipe was flowing full and the inlet
was submerged. The organic material is along the side of the rip-rap around the pipe inlet
approximately 32" above the top of the culvert. 48" above the culvert is an overflow channel
that is approx. 20' wide with l' vertical side walls constructed of ecology blocks. The channel
bottom consists of cobbles.
5+76 Overflow channel to the east of the S.S. Lift Station. The rectangular
channel is 10' wide, 1.5' deep with vertical ecology block side walls. The channel bottom is
cobble lined with grass growing between the stones. There is no indication that the channel
has recently conveyed water due to the shape of the vegetation and lack of debris. The
ground slopes up from the top of the ecology blocks at a 2:1 slope to catch with the level area
around the Lift Station approx. I' above the top of the ecology blocks.
2±1§ Stilling basin adjacent to the southern edge of the Devil's Elbow road. This
basin is the logical outfall location for the "Basin A• detention facility as it is a stabilized area
containing natural energy dissipation characteristics, and allows for the stonnwater to be
included in the stream gauging. The Stilling Basin is 5' deep, 15' wide in the east/west
direction, 10' wide in the north/south direction, lined with cement filled sand bags to maintain
vertical side walls. The culvert that flows to the north under the road is a 60' CMP.
Devil's Elbow roadway centerline.
North side of roadway outfall.
1±.QQ The stream channel is 6' wide with gravel and cobble bottom. Side slopes
are grassed with adjacent blackberries and range from l: l to 6: 1.
7+o0 to I I +oo The stream channel meanders with pool and riffle characteristics. Channel
width varies from 6' to 20' and appears stable. There are lots of organic debris within the
corridor -trees and limbs. Along various sections the organic high water buildup is within the
channel area usually pushed against tree branches and stumps. Along the outside bends of
some of the sections there are 1' to 2' vertical meander cuts within the channel. The wider
sections exhibit braiding with characteristic low flow and high flow gravel channels.
ll+oO to IS+oo Stream is same as 7+00 to ll+oo. Pool and riffle characteristics are the
dominant feature. Partially submerged logs and large roots back up water into pools that then
drop 1' into the next pool structure. The riffle sections are 6' to 12' wide.

General Observations
Approximate location oflarge 9' diameter cedar stump adjacent to east side
Approximate location of suspended telephone cable crossing.
Confluence with May Creek.
The stream corridor within the King County Parks Property appears to be very stable. Areas
where the stream has undercut the bank on the outside bends are the obvious areas where
sloughing has occurred. However, the gradual undercutting of outside bends is a natural process
and appears to be the primary mechanism acting on the stream bed. The lower section of the
stream channel has, over time, cut down 3' to 5' compared to the adjacent topography. The side
slopes adjacent to the channel range from 1: 1 to vertical and are heavily vegetated. The primary
erosion forces along the channel sides appear to be natural -freeze thaw, rain, and seeps. No
significant erosion features were observed and, in general, the corridor appears to be stable.

INTRODUCTION
GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT
Proposed Short Plat
Of
Lot 45 Honey Creek Ridge Div. 3
Renton, Washington
February 12, 2007
The project site, located on the east side of Lynnwood Avenue N.E. opposite its intersection
with N.E. 26th Court in Renton, is about half acre in area and approximately square in plan.
The planned development consists of subdividing the property into two single-family residential
lots. Development of this site will involve addressing certain geotechnical issues. The drawings
in Appendix 'A' were created to aid in understanding the recommended development concept.
• The overall steepness of the site will require the houses to step down the slope using
retaining walls as a part of their foundation system as shown in Appendix 'A'. These
drawings are conceptual and the height of the retaining walls may very with different
house locations or dimensions.
• The underlying sandy soils have limited insitu cohesion and, therefore, cannot be relied
on to stand safely at slopes steeper than 1.4: I. Cut slopes steeper than 1.4: 1 may
require temporary construction shoring for safety.
• There is an existing residence adjacent to the upslope (south) property line. Any
excavations made within Lot 2 must consider the foundation for this house. Temporary
construction shoring may be required to prevent loss of subgrade support for this house
during construction. The design of retaining walls adjacent to the Lot 2 south property
line must consider the presence of this residence.
• There is an existing rockery along the west property line of both lots. Access to the lots
will require creating openings within the rockery and support of driveway cut slopes.
• The elevation of the garage floor for each lot must consider an acceptable driveway
slope.
The conceptual site plan and cross sections presented in Appendix 'A' show a feasible layout
for developing two lots within this property. Alternate driveway concepts and house
configurations certainly may be acceptable. Retaining wall heights and the need for temporary
construction shoring will depend on the final site plans for each lot.

INFORMATION PROVIDED
Project 1956
February 12, 2007
A drawing, titled Proposed Short Plat of Lot 45 Honey Creek Ridge Div. 3, dated December
2006, prepared by Baima-Holmberg, Inc, Civil Engineers of Issaquah, was provided. This
drawing includes the site location, dimensions, topography, and proposed lot configuration.
This information was used in preparing the drawing on the opposite page, which also shows the
locations of the backhoe test pits.
SCOPE
The scope of work in this investigation included the following:
1. Subsurface exploration by means of two backhoe test pits,
2. Engineering evaluation and analysis of field data and published documents for the
purpose of providing recommendations regarding the geotechnical aspects of site
development, and
3. Preparation of this report in accordance with Chapters 16 and 18 of the I.B.C.,
presenting the findings and recommendations.
FINDINGS
Surface Conditions
The property slopes down toward the northwest at an average slope of just over thirty percent.
Adjacent to the west property line there is rockery that ranges in height up to eight feet. The
slope above the rockery, within forty feet of the south property line, has been excavated to
create a 2: 1 slope. There is an existing gravel driveway south and east of the property. A 2: 1
cut slope was excavated within this property along the east property line as a part of that drive.
At the time of the field investigation the ground surface was covered with a moderate growth of
native grasses and berry bushes with alder and fir trees. No structures, flowing or standing
water, or wetlands were observed within the property.
Page 2
Geology
Project I 956
February 12, 2007
The site is mapped as Vashon recessional sands and gravels (Galster & Laprade, 1991). The
meltwater sorted material in its path and left very gravelly and sandy sediments that range in
thickness from four to over one hundred feet on the upland terraces.
Subsurface Conditions
The site is mapped by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service as Everett gravelly sandy loam (Ev).
Within the eighteen-foot maximum depth of exploration, the site is underlain by medium dense
to dense slightly silty fine to medium grained sand with some small rounded gravel. The sands
become very slightly cemented below about eight feet. No ground water or wet soil was
encountered in the test pits.
Test pit logs are appended.
CONCLUSIONS
Seismic Considerations
This site is considered to be in Site Class Din accordance with I.B.C. Table 1615.1.1.
Seismic hazards can be divided into two general categories, hazards due to ground rupture and
hazards due to ground shaking. Since no faults are known to pass through the site, the
possibility of earthquake induced ground rupture appears to be remote.
Liquefaction
Even if severe ground shaking were to occur at the site, the medium dense to dense silty sands
encountered in the exploration will not I iquefy because they are not saturated and do not have
the characteristics of materials prone to liquefaction under dynamic loads. The sands
encountered are too dense, and their hydraulic conductivity allows dissipation of excessive pour
pressure.
Compressible Soils
No compressible soils were encountered.
Page 3
Expansive Soils
No expansive soils were encountered.
Slope Stability
Project 1956
February 12, 2007
The slopes were field mapped and no evidence of instability was observed. The underlying silty
sands have a natural angle of repose of about seventy percent (slope of 1.4: 1). The steepest
slopes within the site are 2: 1 or flatter. The slopes have certainly been subject to seismic
activity in the past, therefore, the present stability of the slopes provides some evidence of future
stability. If the recommendations presented in this report are followed development of this site
should not adversely impact the stability of the slopes.
Forty Percent Slopes
Two areas of slopes forty percent or steeper are shown on the Baima-Holmberg, Inc. survey.
Slope area one is in the southwest corner of the property, and slope area two involves the east
property line.
Slope Area One -This is a 2: 1 cut slope with a maximum height of about twenty feet. The cut
was made as a part of the construction of the adjacent street, Lynnwood Avenue N.E. There is
an existing rockery at the base of the cut slope. Since the cut was created as a part of the
construction of Lynnwood Avenue N.E. and the slope height is only twenty feet, this slope may
be exempt from the regulatory buffer and building setback. It felt that this exemption would not
adversely impact the slope stability, provided the recommendations presented in this report are
followed.
Slope Area Two -This is also a 2: 1 cut slope with a maximum height of about twenty feet. The
cut was made as a part of the construction of the adjacent driveway serving the residence to the
east. Since the cut was created as a part of a legal (assumed) construction and the slope height is
only twenty feet high, this slope may be exempt from the regulatory buffer and building setback.
It felt that this exemption would not adversely impact the slope stability, provided the
recommendations presented in this report are followed.
Groundwater
The test pits were logged during the wet season following heavy rainfall. No seepage, standing
water, wet soil or soil groundwater color indicators were observed within the upper eighteen
feet of soil.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Building Setbacks from the 40% Slopes
Project 1956
February 12, 2007
No buffers or building setbacks are recommended for the slopes within or adjacent to this site.
Development of this property as two residential building sites will require extensive grading and
the construction of structural retaining walls. This construction will lower, remove, or lessen
some of the steep slopes. In any case, the properly designed and constructed grading and
retaining walls should not reduce the slope stability and will likely improve the slope stability.
Site Preparation
Depressions and loose soil zones resulting from the removal of trees, large shrubs, or
underground structures (that may be encountered during construction) should be carefully
backfilled with thoroughly compacted on-site inorganic soil or approved import soil.
The surface of the site within the proposed building and pavement areas should be stripped to
remove vegetation and organic topsoil. Soil containing more than two percent by weight organic
matter should be considered organic. Stripping depths should be decided in the field at the time
of construction but for planning purposes an average stripping depth of six inches may be
assumed. Strippings may be stockpiled for subsequent use in landscaped areas.
Excavation and Slopes
Temporary cut banks should not exceed slopes of 1.4: I. Permanent cut or fill banks should not
exceed slopes of 2: 1. The sandy soils within this site are prone to erosion and exposed slopes
should immediately be covered with visqueen. The visqueen should remain until the exposed
ground is landscaped. Soil stockpiles should be covered with visqueen to prevent saturation and
erosion.
Temporary Shoring
Slopes steeper than 1.4: 1 cannot be trusted to stand safely. Where it is necessary to create
temporary construction slopes steeper than 1.4: 1 temporary shoring should be used. Temporary
shoring may be designed using the soil design parameters presented in the section below
regarding retaining walls.
Page 5
Grading and Compaction
Project 1956
February 12, 2007
The only structural fill anticipated is behind the retaining walls. The onsite sands will provide
an acceptable structural fill material. Stripped soil surfaces in those areas to receive structural
fill, foundations, slabs-on-grade, or pavements, should be scarified to a depth of at least six
inches. The soil should be moisture conditioned (or allowed to dry) to produce a moisture
content of two percent above the optimum value and then compacted to a density equivalent to at
least 95 percent of the maximum value as determined by ASTM Test D1557-70.
Structural fill using on-site inorganic soil should be placed in layers not exceeding eight inches
in loose thickness, conditioned with water (or allowed to dry) and compacted to the
requirements described previously.
Utility Trenches
Utility trench excavation can be performed with conventional mechanical equipment to depths up
to eighteen feet. Excavations up to eighteen feet should not encounter groundwater.
Vertical trench excavations within the underlying sands will not stand safely vertical, but may
slough to the natural angle of repose of 1.4: I.
For the purposes of this section of the report, backfill is material placed in a trench starting one
foot above the pipe or conduit or at the top of concrete formed around the pipe or conduit; and
bedding is all material placed in a trench below the backfill. Unless concrete bedding is
required around utility pipe or conduits, free draining sand should be used as bedding. Sand
bedding should be compacted by mechanical means to a density equivalent to at least 95 percent
of the compaction test maximum (ASTM D1557-70). Trench backfill should be placed in
horizontal layers not exceeding 6 inches in loose thickness and compacted by mechanical means
at least 95 percent of the compaction test maximum (ASTM D 1557-70).
Retaining Walls
Retaining wall constructed as part of the foundation system cannot be allowed to "rotate",
developing "active" soil pressures. Therefore an "at rest" lateral soil coefficient of 0.5 should
be used. Retaining walls may be designed using the equivalent fluid pressure method. For non-
compacted onsite sands an average backfill soil unit weight of 90-lb/cu ft may be assumed
(lateral pressure would then be 45-lb/cu ft). For compacted structural fill using the onsite sands
an average backfill soil unit weight of 106-lb/cu ft may be assumed (lateral pressure would then
be 53-lb/cu ft).
The lateral coefficient of sliding between the concrete base and the soil may be designed at 0.25
for the underlying sands.
Page 6
Project 1956
February 12, 2007
Passive pressures of 250-lb/cu ft may he used for compact onsite sands. Passive pressures of
350-lb/cu ft may be used for undisturbed dense onsite sands more than eight feet below the
existing ground surface. .
With respect to I.B.C. 1802.2.7.1, seismic earth pressure acting on retaining walls within this
project may be calculated as: Pseismi, lb/ft2 = (4 lb/ft3)(H,w). Note: H,w is the retained soil height
in feet, Pse,,m,, is a rectangular pressure diagram added to the triangular static pressure diagram.
Any adjacent load, such an adjacent footing, must be considered in the retaining wall design.
Rockeries
Rockeries are not earth retaining structures. Rockeries may be used as slough walls against
stable earth cuts or MSE (mechanically stabilized earth) fills only. It is recommended that new
rockeries not be constructed over six five high on this site. Rockery construction must comply
with the ARC Standard Rock Wall Construction Guidelines. Rockeries often require continued
maintenance and, therefore, should be accessible.
Embedded Post or Columns
When designing posts or poles as embedded columns in accordance with I.B.C. Table 1804.2,
lateral bearing may be taken at 150 lb/ft2/ft depth below ground surface.
Building Foundations
The proposed single family residential buildings may be supported on conventional shallow
foundations bearing on firm natural soil.
Reinforced concrete continuous footings may be designed to impose pressures on foundation
soils up to 2000 pounds per square foot from dead plus normal live loading provided the
resulting foundation width is not less than 12 inches for one story, 15 inches for two story, and
18 inches for three story portions of the structure.
No individual piers should be used. Interior loads should be supported on interior reinforced
continuous footings. These footings should be connected to the exterior footings and the
reinforcing steel lapped onto the reinforcing steel from the exterior footings. The perimeter
footing should extend under the garage door.
Where footings are constructed adjacent to downslope cut banks or slopes, there is to be a
minimum 2: 1 slope drawn between the bottom of the footing (point nearest the slope) and the toe
of the cut bank, slope, or toe any adjacent downslope rockery.
Page 7
Project 1956
February 12, 2007
Foundations should be embedded at least eighteen inches below existing grade or adjacent
finished grade, whichever is lower.
Total Differential Settlement
No compressible soils were encountered within the building areas. Soils are uniform in
compactness and thickness within each building pad. Therefore, the total differential settlement
for buildings designed and constructed in accordance with the recommendations presented in this
report should be negligible. Settlement should occur during the initial framing period.
Concrete Slabs-On-Grade
Concrete floor slab should be constructed on compact soil subgrades prepared as described in
the sections under Grading and Compaction.
Where floor dampness must be minimized, a minimum 4-inch section of capillary break material
covered with a membrane vapor barrier should be placed between the floor slab and the compact
soil subgrade. The capillary break should be free draining, clean gravel or rock, such as 3/8"
pea gravel. The membrane vapor barrier should be at least 10-mil thick polyethylene or its
equivalent.
Where floor dampness is not objectionable, concrete slabs may be laid directly on the compact
soil subgrade.
Footing and Retaining Wall Drains
Footing drains are required for all footings, retammg walls, and rockeries. A perforated
drainpipe should be placed at the upslope base of the footing. The drainpipe should be covered
with at least a twelve-inch wide zone of washed l/2" to l" drainrock. The drainrock layer
should be about twelve inches thick for footings and should extend at least half way up the back
of retaining walls. The drainrock should be covered with filter fabric paper, and a layer of
native soil should be placed over filter fabric as a soil cap.
Soil Infiltration Data
This site not considered suitable for the use of infiltration or groundwater recharge systems
because of the steep slopes.
Page 8
Surface Drainage and Landscaping
Project 1956
February 12, 2007
Site soils are very prone to erosion. Drainage pipe should be provided to catch and dispose of
downspout rainwater. Driveways and walkways should be provided with catch basins to collect
surface water. Surface drainage gradients should be planned to prevent ponding and to direct
surface water away from the building, slabs, edges of pavements, and towards suitable collection
and discharge facilities.
Drainage from each lot should be discharged into an approved storm sewer. Do not allow
surface drainage to flow over any steep or exposed slope.
LIMITATIONS
Changes in development plans will render these specific recommendations invalid unless such
changes are reviewed by this office and these recommendations modified accordingly.
Subsurface exploration of any site is necessarily confined to selected locations, and conditions
may and often do vary between these locations. Should varied conditions come to light during
project development these conditions should be reported to this office for evaluation.
PLAN REVIEW AND INSPECTION DURING CONSTRUCTION
It is recommended that this office be retained to review the building plans to verify compatibility
with this site and compliance with this gcotechnical report and inspect each foundation subgrade
once the building pad has been constructed.

Appendix A
Possible House Configuration
To Show Development Feasibility & Geotechnical Issues
Possible House Configurations
These possible house configurations are presented in generic form to
show that it is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint to subdivide the
property into two lots and develop each lot with a single-family residence.
The actual house locations, dimensions, and elevations may vary from
those shown here.
Because of the site topography the location and elevation of each garage
must be carefully selected to allow for an acceptable driveway slope and
acceptable retaining wall heights.
Construction slopes may not exceed 1.4:1. While these slopes may stand
when initially constructed they will not be safe during the construction
process. Construction of the building pads and retaining walls may be
planned to minimize the need for construction slopes in excess of 1.4:1
and the resulting need for temporary shoring.
The recommendations and geotechnical design parameters presented in
this geotechnical engineering report are to be used by the architects and
engineers designing site plans, house configurations, and retaining walls
for the future houses within this site.
