Summary of Request:

Code Section: 4-2-llSE.l. "Garages"
Guidelines:
The visual impact of garages shall be minimized, while
porches and front doors shall be the emphasis of the
front of the home. Garages shall be located in a manner
that minimizes the presence of the garage and shall not
be located at the end of view corridors. Alley access is
encouraged. If used, shared garages shall be within an
acceptable walking distance to the housing unit it is
intended to serve
Compliance with Guidelines: Compliance with
Guidelines: Our garages are not recessed from the front
of the house and/or front porch at least eight feet (8'),
or sized so that they represent no greater than fifty
percent (50%) of the width of the front fa~ade at
ground level. We are not able to comply with this
design standard as it is not consistent with American
Classic Homes style and is not consistent with the other
homes we have built in Renton. We would like to
propose having a minimal porch projection & build an
approx. 10'x12' primary front porch entry with a railing
to emphasize the front porches on the homes. We
believe this design still showcases the front porch as
1 the focal point of the house and deemphasizes the
visual impact of the garages.
Criteria for Modification of the Residential Design Standards
Renton Municipal Code, section 4-2-115, lists elements that are required to be included in all residential
development in the zones stated in subsection B of this Section. Each element includes both standards and
guidelines. Standards are provided for predictability. These standards specify a prescriptive manner in which the
requirement can be met. Guidelines for each element are provided for flexibility. These guidelines provide
direction for those who seek to meet the required element in a manner that is different from the standards.
a. The determination as to the satisfaction of the requirement through the use of the guidelines is to be
made by the Community and Economic Development Administrator when no other permit or
approval requires Hearing Examiner review.
b. When it has been determined that the proposed manner of meeting the design requirement through
guidelines is sufficient, the applicant shall have satisfied that design requirement.
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.
