DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE:December 8, 2016 (Updated the August 4, 2016 Memo) TO:Pre-Application File No. 16-000524 FROM:Clark H. Close, Senior Planner SUBJECT:Madison Reserve Preliminary Plat – 14120 SE 160th Ave 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, Community & Economic Development Administrator, Public Works Administrator, Planning Director, Development Services Director, 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 Division on the first floor of City Hall or online at www.rentonwa.gov. Project Proposal: The subject property is located in the east side of 160th Ave SE just north of SE 142nd Pl at 14120 SE 160th Ave SE (APN 1457500110). The site has a Comprehensive Plan Land Use of Designation of Residential Low Density and a zoning designation of Residential-4 (R-4) dwelling units per net acre (du/ac). The applicant is proposing a subdivision of one existing parcel totaling 4.51-acres (196,625 square feet.) into 13-lots for the eventual construction of single family homes. The lots would range in size from 9,024 sf to 16,977 sf. Access to the site is proposed public road extended from 160th Ave SE terminating in a cul-de-sac. The subject site contains a workshop, shed, associated driveways, a stream in the northeast corner, wetlands, and critical area buffers. The site appears to drain to the east towards 162nd Ave SE. Current Use: In addition to the accessory uses the site is forested with thick underbrush. It appears the applicant is proposing to retain the accessory structures on the site. Accessory structures shall only be allowed on lots in conjunction with a primary use. The proposal would require a Tier II Temporary Use to retain any of the existing accessory structures without a single family residence on the same parcel as accessory structures. Otherwise the accessory structures shall be removed in conjunction with preliminary plat approval. Zoning: The property is located within the Residential-4 (R-4) zoning designation. Detached residential development is permitted within the R-4 designation, provided the proposal complies with the density range specified by the zone. Density: The area of public streets and critical areas would be deducted from the gross site area to determine the “net” site area prior to calculating density. The deductions provided for critical Madison Preliminary Plat Page 2 of 6 December 8, 2016 areas and right-of-way dedication (53-foot-wide road) was identified as 32,774 square feet. Therefore a 13-lot proposal would result in a net density 3.5 du/acre (13 lots / 3.76 acres = 3.5 du/ac). The applicant would be required to demonstrate compliance with the density range of the R-4 zone using net density calculations. Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, “Development Standards for Residential Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application (noted as “R-4 standards” herein). The proposal appears to comply with the following development standards. R-8 Minimum Standard Lot Size 9,000 SF Lot Width Interior: 70 feet Corner: 80 feet Lot Depth 100 feet Min Front Yard 30 feet Max Front Yard None Side Yard Combined 20 feet with not less than 7.5 feet on either side Rear Yard 25 feet Side Yard Along-A-Street 30 feet Building Coverage Ratio 35% maximum Impervious Surface Area 50% maximum Maximum Wall Plate Height The maximum wall plate height is restricted to 32 feet, and the buildings shall be not more than 3 stories. Access/Parking: Access to the new lots is proposed to be gained via public road extended from 160th Ave SE terminating in a dead end or cul-de-sac. The applicant shall note that dead end streets may be used in limited application and may only be permitted by the Administrator where, due to demonstrable physical constraints, no future connection to a larger street pattern is physically possible. Therefore, the applicant would be required to demonstrate that a reduction in the number of linkages is appropriate in this case due to site constraints. Please note subdivisions in the area have been required to provide pedestrian connectivity from 160th Ave SE to 162nd Ave SE irrespective of vehicular connectivity. Finally, a minimum of two (2) parking stalls are required for each home including the existing residence. The applicant will be required to demonstrate compliance with the parking and driveway standards (RMC 4-4-080) of the code for the existing residence as part of the short plat application. Landscaping – Except for critical areas, all portions of the development area which are not covered by structures, required parking, access, circulation or service areas, must be landscaped Madison Preliminary Plat Page 3 of 6 December 8, 2016 with native, drought-resistant vegetative cover. The minimum on-site landscape width required along street frontages is 10 feet. Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070 and RMC 4- 4-080F.7) for further general and specific landscape requirements (enclosed). A conceptual landscape plan and landscape analysis meeting the requirements in RMC 4-8-120D.12, shall be submitted at the time of land use application. Please note if a detention pond is included in the proposal up to a 15-foot wide landscape buffer would be required along its perimeter. Tree Retention: If significant trees (greater than 6-inch caliper or 8-caliper inches for alders and cottonwoods) are proposed to be removed, a tree inventory and a tree retention plan along with an arborist report, tree retention plan and tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application as defined in RMC 4-8-120. The tree retention plan must show preservation of at least 30% of significant trees, and indicate how proposed building footprints would be sited to accommodate preservation of significant trees that would be retained (RMC 4- 4-130H1.a). When the required number of protected trees cannot be retained, replacement trees, with at least a two-inch (2") caliper or an evergreen at least six feet (6') tall, shall be planted at a rate of twelve (12) caliper inches of new trees to replace each protected tree removed. The Administrator may authorize the planting of replacement trees on the site if it can be demonstrated to the Administrator's satisfaction that an insufficient number of trees can be retained. In addition to retaining 30 percent of existing significant trees, each new lot would be required to provide a minimum tree density of 2 trees per 5,000 square feet of lot area onsite. Protected trees that do not contribute to a lot's required minimum tree density shall be held in perpetuity within a tree protection tract. Significant trees shall be retained in the following priority order: Priority One: Landmark trees; significant trees that form a continuous canopy; significant trees on slopes greater than twenty percent (20%); Significant trees adjacent to critical areas and their associated buffers; and Significant trees over sixty feet (60') in height or greater than eighteen inches ( 18") caliper. Priority Two: Healthy tree groupings whose associated undergrowth can be preserved; Other significant native evergreen or deciduous trees; and Other significant non- native trees. Priority Three: Alders and cottonwoods shall be retained when all other trees have been evaluated for retention and are not able to be retained, unless the alders and/ or cottonwoods are used as part of an approved enhancement project within a critical area or its buffer. The Administrator may require independent review of any land use application that involves tree removal and land clearing at the City's discretion. A formal tree retention plan would be reviewed at the time of Preliminary Plat application. Fences/Retaining Walls: If the applicant intends to install any fences as part of this project, the location must be designated on the landscape plan. A fence taller than six feet (6') requires a building permit. A fence shall not be constructed on top of a retaining wall unless the total combined height of the retaining wall and the fence does not exceed the allowed height of a standalone fence. New or existing fencing would need to comply with the fence requirements of the code (RMC 4-4-040). A wood split-rail fence would be required along the southern border of the sensitive area tract (Tract B). Madison Preliminary Plat Page 4 of 6 December 8, 2016 Retaining walls shall be composed of brick, rock, textured or patterned concrete, or other masonry product that complements the proposed building and site development. There shall be a minimum three-foot (3') landscaped setback at the base of retaining walls abutting public rights-of-way. Please refer to retaining wall standards (RMC 4-4-040) for additional information about fences and retaining walls. Driveways: The maximum driveway slope shall not exceed eight percent (8%). The Administrator may allow a driveway to exceed eight percent (8%) slope but not more than fifteen percent (15%) slope, upon proper application in writing and for good cause shown, which shall include, but not be limited to, the absence of any reasonable alternative. To exceed fifteen percent (15%), a variance from the Administrator is required. The maximum width of single loaded garage driveways shall not exceed 9 feet and double loaded garage driveways shall not exceed 16 feet. Building Design Standards Compliance with Residential Design Regulations shall be required for the new residence, see RMC 4-2-115. Below are some of the identified design standards that need to be addressed in the proposal: 1. One of the following is required; the garage must be: a.Recessed from the front of the house and/or front porch at least eight feet (8'), or b. Detached. 2. The entry shall take access from and face a street, park, common green, pocket park, pedestrian easement, or open space, and a. The entry shall include one of the following: i. Stoop: minimum size four feet by six feet (4' x 6') and minimum height twelve inches (12") above grade, or ii. Porch: minimum five feet (5') deep and minimum height twelve inches (12") above grade. 3. The primary building elevation oriented toward the street or common green shall have at least one articulation or change in plane of at least two feet (2') in depth; and 4. A minimum one side articulation that measures at least one foot (1') in depth shall occur for all facades facing streets or public spaces. 5. The primary building form shall be the dominating form and elements such as porches, principal dormers, or other significant features shall not dominate. 6. Primary roof pitch shall be a minimum six to twelve (4:12). If a gable roof is used, exit access from a third floor must face a public right of way for emergency access. Critical Areas: A wetland and stream have been identified on the neighboring properties and likely encroach onto the subject site. The applicant has identified a Type Ns Stream in the northeast corner of the parcel. A Type Ns stream has a critical area buffer width of 50 feet and a 15-foot structure setback beyond the buffer. The applicant would be required to comply with RMC 4-3-050. Madison Preliminary Plat Page 5 of 6 December 8, 2016 The applicant will need to provide a wetland assessment and a standard stream study at the time of Preliminary Plat application submittal. Environmental Review: Environmental (SEPA) Review is required for projects nine units or greater, or on sites that contain critical areas. Therefore SEPA would be required for the proposed subdivision. Permit Requirements: The proposed development would require Preliminary Plat and Environmental Review. All land use permits could be processed within an estimated time frame of 12 weeks. The 2017 application fee for SEPA Review (Environmental Checklist) is $1,500 and the Preliminary Plat fee is $10,000. A 3% technology fee would also be assessed at the time of land use application. Detailed information regarding the land use application submittal is available on the City’s website. In addition to the required land use permits, separate construction and building permits would be required. The review of these permits may occur concurrently with the review of the land use permits, but cannot be issued prior to the completion of any appeal periods. Construction of residential structures would follow installation of infrastructure and recording of the Final Plat. Public Information/Public Outreach Signs: The applicant is required to install a public outreach sign and a proposed land use action sign on the subject property per the specifications provided in the accompanied sign handouts. The applicant is solely responsible for the construction, installation, maintenance, removal, and any costs associated with the signs.
