PROJECT NAME: PROJECT NUMBER: PROJECT MANAGER: APPLICANT: 2523 NE 5th Pl Residential Design Modification LUA14-001542, MOD Angelea Wickstrom, Assistant Planner Juan Franco 20615 5th Ave S. Des Moines, WA 98198 ZONING DESIGNATION: R-8 PROJECT LOCATION: 2523 NE 5th Pl SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval of a modification of the Residential Design Standards (RMC 4-2-115) on a proposed 860 square foot single family home. The proposed project site is located in the Residential -8 dwelling units per acre (R-8) zone. The applicant is proposing to add a 608 square foot addition to the back of the existing structure. Renton Municipal Code, Section 4-2-115, states that "Additions and/or expansions to detached or attached dwellings that are valued at fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) or more, or at fifty percent (50%) or greater of the most recent assessment or appraisal shall require that the entire dwelling or structure comply with the standards of the Residential Design subsection." The most recent assessment of this existing structure is valued at $15,000. The estimated value of the addition is significantly more than 50 percent of the value of the existing structure; therefore, the entire structure is required to meet the Residential Design Standards. The existing house is a nonconforming structure build in 1942, and does not meet the City of Renton's Roof Standard, Windows and Doors Standard, or Architectural Details standard.

November 4, 2014 Modification request for: 2523 NE 6th Place Renton, WA 98056 Renton Highlands Add Parcel Number: 7227502110 Chip Vincent, CED Administrator Angelea Wickstrom, Assistant Planner EXHIBIT 1 This letter is to request a modification of the Building Guidelines Section 4-2-115 in regard to the 12 required design elements for R-4 and R-8 Zones. Our intent with the addition is strongly to upgrade the existing structure with the current and modern standards, style and materials without changing the original architecture concepts but affecting positively the neighborhood always meeting codes set by the city. Said that, we will meet 9 of 12 required design elements on the existing and new addition and the final product will include new siding, new roofing and new paint for the whole building. The standards that we cannot meet because we consider that it does not make sense to have to modify the existing structure only because we want to add a bedroom on the back part of the house are as follow: 3-Windows and Doors. 5-Roof. 7-Architecture detailing. We plan to do a high level of finish materials both interior and exterior for our home and hope to be a good representation of a finer Renton Neighborhood.
