Project Name:
Greenleaf Plan Type 3.1 Residential Design
Modification
Project Location:

TBD. Future lot 4 of
Greenleaf
Zoning Designation:
R-8
10814 SE 187'h Pl, Renton WA 98055. Future lot 4 of Greenleaf
Brief Summary of Request: 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 by homebuyers at our other plat in Renton (La Rosa), which is located near this project.
Code Section: 4-2-115E.3. "Roofs"
Standard:
One of the following is required for all development:
I. Hip or gabled with at least a six to twelve (6:12)
pitch for the prominent form of the roof
(dormers, etc., may have lesser pitch), or
2. Shed roof.
Code Section: 4-2-115E.3. "Architectural Detailing"
Standard:
Additionally, one of the following is required:
1. Three and one-half inch (3 1/2") minimum trim
surrounds all windows and details all doors, or
2. A combination of shutters and three and one-
half inches (3 1/2") minimum trim details all
windows, and three and one-half inches (3
1/2") minimum trim details all doors.
Justification: We are proposing to use various roof
forms with roof pitches lower than 6:12, including shed
roofs, in order to compliment the modern style of the
I homes. Multiple roof forms and pitches will be used
throughout the plat to ensure that the subdivision has
variety. No two identical house styles will be placed
abutting each other within the subdivision.
Justification: We are requesting approval of window
trims that are narrower in some locations and absent in
others in order to harmonize with the modern design of
the house. We are also not putting shutters on the
windows in order to keep with the modern theme of
the subdivision. We are using a variety of paint colors in
order to accent different architectural elements of the
home in place of trim detailing. We are using 3 base
colors, 1 trim color, and 1 door color. See color
schemes.
Code Section: 4-2-llSE.3. "Architectural Detailing" Justification: We will install a horizontal band on these
Standard: plans as requested during the meeting at City of
If one siding material is used on any side of the dwelling I Renton. Please see attached elevations.
that is two stories or greater in height, a horizontal band
that measures at least eight inches (8") is required
between the first and second story
Code Section: 4-2-llSE.l. "Garages"
Standard:
1. Recessed from the front of the house and/or
front porch at least eight feet (8'), or
2. Located so that the roof extends at least five feet
(5') (not including eaves) beyond the front of the
garage for at least the width of the garage plus
the porch/stoop area, or
3. Alley accessed, or
4. Located so that the entry does not face a public
and/or private street or an access easement, or
5. Sized so that it represents no greater than fifty
percent (50%) of the width of the front facade at
ground level, or
6. Detached.
In~.;.
Justification: We have designed these plans with a
specific contemporary styling. Due to the modern
architecture of this plan, the garage is not recessed by
the required 8' nor is it less than 50% ofthe front
fa~ade. Instead, there is a large front porch with
recessed entry and we added glazing to the garage
door for a better overall architectural styling.
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.
