Zoning Designation:
R-8
2724 Benson Road South, Renton WA 98055 (lots 20 and 21)
Brief Summary of Request: We are requesting a Modification of Residential Design Standards for the proposed
single family houses on lots 20 and 21 to have less than the required 25 percent window and door coverage on all
facades facing street frontage or public spaces. We would like to request modification to the residential design
requirements so that we can build houses with a more contemporary/modern style. We believe that these houses
will present nicely as a neighborhood and will attract homebuyers to Renton. The architectural style of these
homes has been very well received at our other projects.

i Windows and doors shall constitute twenty-five percent
(25%) of all facades facing street frontage or public
spaces.

Justification: We have designed these plans for the best
balance of windows and energy efficiency. Adding more
windows along Benson Road South (a very busy street),
would increase road noise inside the house as well as
reduce the energy efficiency of the house. In lieu of
adding additional glazing, we will add additional
landscaping along the rear yard fence as well as reduce
the height of the fence to 4' tall.
RMC 4-9-250D.2 Criteria for Modification of the Standards.
The requested modification must also meet the following criteria:
1. Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability
intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment; and
2. Will not be injurious to other property(ies) in the vicinity; and
3. Conform to the intent and purpose of the Code; and
4. Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and
5. Will not create adverse impacts to other property(ies) in the vicinity.
I, the undersigned, declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Washington, that to the best of
my knowledge the above information is true and complete.

Brief Summary of Request: We are requesting a Modification of Residential Design Standards for the proposed
single family houses on lots 20 and 21 to have less than the required 25 percent window and door coverage on all
facades facing street frontage or public spaces. We would like to request modification to the residential design
requirements so that we can build houses with a more contemporary/modern style. We believe that these houses
will present nicely as a neighborhood and will attract home buyers to Renton. The architectural style of these
homes has been very well received at our other projects.
Please Hst the code section you are nequ11$~!n111 ritodlfftatlopftom and tfle •stamtarcls'' for t~ittspeclfic code.

Code Section: 4-2-115E.3. "Windows & Doors" Justification: We have designed these plans for the best
Standard: balance of windows and energy efficiency. Adding more
Windows and doors shall constitute twenty-five percent windows along Benson Road South (a very busy street),
(25%) of all facades facing street frontage or public would increase road noise inside the house as well as
I spaces. reduce the energy efficiency of the house. In lieu of
I adding additional glazing, we will add additional
landscaping along the rear yard fence as well as reduce
the height of the fence to 4' tall .
