Subject: RE: LUA08-139 Orange Grove Cottages
To the best of knowledge (as of 30 min. ago) the intention is to put the project on hold. We have many things to address
before we're ready for hearing and the concern is that we'd like to ensure our ducks are aligned before getting our one
shot be before the examiner. Had you talked to someone who thought we were going to attempt the 24th deadline?
Thanks,

Andy,
It sounds like, the plan may be to keep the project scheduled for the Public Hearing on the 24th. As long as this is the
plan ... We will need copies of the street cross sections as soon as possible to give us time to schedule and execute a
meeting with fire. In addition, we have to have time to get revised comments from the fire department to place in the
file. If this is not the intended plan ... and putting the project on Hold is still the intention please let me know as soon as
possible.
Thank you,

'onmental Review Committee Report
LVA08-J39, ECF, CV-H, PPVD
Page 3 of9
The applicant is requesting an Environmental (SEPA) Review of the proposed Preliminary Planned Urban
Development (PPUO). In addition, the applicant is requesting a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit for
sand-alone residential in the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone. The PPUO proposes the subdivision of a 78,458
square foot site into 25 lots and 5 tracts. The project site is comprised of two lots each with an existing single-
family home and their associated out buildings, which are p,roposed to be removed. The project site is located on
the east side of Bremerton Avenue NE, just south ofNE 4" Street at 330 Bremerton Avenue NE. The subject
site is designated as Commercial Corridor on the Comprehensive Plan Land Usc Map and is zoned Commercial
Arterial (CA), in addition to being located within the NE 4th Street Business District Overlay.
To the north ofthe site there are existing strip commercial businesses that front NE 4th Street, located within the
CA zone. To the east of the site the property is zoned CA and is to be developed into townhomes. This
townhome development was completed as a part of a larger mixed-use project, which includes the commercial
development, directly north, that fronts NE 4th Street. South of the site is a single-family residential development
zoned Residential 8 (R-8) dwelling units per net acre. To the southwest across Bremerton Avenue NE, there is
another residential-single family neighborhood zoned Residential 10 (R-l 0) dwelling units per acre. Directly
west ofthe site, across Bremerton Avenue NE, is CA zoned property, developed as a single-family residential
neighborhood.
The concept for the PPUD, Orange Grove Cottages, is to create a small, intimate neighborhood of 19 detached
cottages and 6 townhomes located on individual lots ranging in size from 1,034 square feet to 2,096 square feet
resulting in a net density of 16.89 dwelling units per acre. The homes would be oriented toward two landscaped
courtyards or greencourts (Tract A and E). The larger courtyard, which is adjacent to Bremerton Avenue NE
(Tract A), would contain a 368 square foot community building and the smaller courtyard to be located in the
southeast comer of the site (Tract E). The homes would either have front porches or rear decks oriented toward
these courtyards, which in tum would provide passive recreation opportunities with sidewalks linking the homes
together. Each home would include a private yard area enclosed with a low fence.
Orange Grove Cottages PPUD would be accessed via a new narrow width public street that loops though the site
from Bremerton Avenue NE. The main southerly entry road would include parallel parking on one side of the
street, a planter strip with street trees, a detached sidewalk and front porches. This public street would then
transition to a 20-foot wide lane, which provides access to a series of one-car garages and open parking stalls
(Tracts B-D). In addition, the townhomes would contain tuck-under two-car garages accessed off of the
proposed looped road. There would be 52 parking spaces resulting in a parking ratio of2.08 stalls per dwelling
unit.
The project would result in approximately 5,241 cubic yards of cut and 5,108 cubic yards offill. The cut
materials would be utilized to the extent possible for fill if additional fill materials are warranted the applicant
would be imported from a City approved location. The majority of the cut materials would be from the storm
drainage detention system.
The applicant contends that no critical areas are located on the project site. However, the City'S critical areas
maps have identified a Class 4 stream that would be located in the vicinity of the project site and the possibility
of wetlands. The applicant provided a "Revised Critical Areas Reconnaissance Report" prepared by Chad
Armour, LLC, originally completed on August 11, 2006 and updated on October 28, 2008. This study indicated
that there did not appear to be any wetlands or streams present on the site, although, the report concluded that it
is possible that a Category 3 wetland was present, off site, adjacent to the southeast comer of the project location.
City staff visited the property to the south of the subject site, to determine if the wetland located on this parcel
was large enough to be a regulated. City staff determined that there was a small wetland on the parcel directly
south of the subject parcel although, this wetland was less than 2,200 square feet and therefore would meet thc
exemption criteria. As such, the subject development would not be impacted by the buffer ofthis small off-site
wetland.

The site is primarily vegetated with grasses, blackberries, and brush as well as deciduous, fir, fruit, walnut and
cedar trees, The site contains a total of 30 trees of 6-inch caliper or larger, 7 are within the proposed public right-
of-way resulting in 23 protected trees on site. The applicant has proposed to clear the entire site and replace the
23 trees with 48 new trees. The CA zone requires 5 percent tree retention, when this cannot be achieved then
new trees, with a 2-inch caliper or greater, shall be planted. The replacement rate shall be 12 caliper inches of
new trees to replace each protected trcc removed. The 48 new trees proposed trees would exceed the code
required 7 replacement trees. There are no critical areas located on the subject site.

Impacts: With the project application, the applicant submitted a Geotechnical Report prepared by Eartb
Solutions NW, LLC, dated July 19, 2006. According to the report, the site topography is relatively level
with the exception of the depression area located along the northern portion of the project site. Vegetation
on the project site consists primarily of mature landscaping.
According to a referenced geologic map, the site is underlain with glacially consolidated till deposits. The
King County Soil Survey identifies Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AgC) as underlying the project site.
The applicant's geotechnical engineer excavated 5 test pits throughout the site. The submitted geotechnical
report states that relatively consistent soil and groundwater conditions were encountered throughout the
project site. Topsoil was encountered in the top four to 12 inches of soil; however. deeper areas of topsoil
could exist on-site due to variable topographic changes. Extensive areas of fill were not encountered during
the fieldwork. However, fill was encountered in the next three to four feet of soil in Test Pits 4 and 5 and
consisted of loose silty sand with gravel fill containing trace to moderate amounts of debris and organics.
Underlying the topsoil and fill, native soils were encountered in all of the test pits. The native soils
consisted of silty sand and silty sand with gravel soils in topographically higher areas and sand and gravel
in topographically lower areas. Groundwater was encountered at depths of 7 '/, to 8 feet below existing
grade in Test Pits 4 and 5.
The geotechnical report concludes that the soil conditions found during the tleldwork generally correlated
with the geologic map designation and the King County Soil Survey with the exception of the conditions
found along the northern portion of the property, which consisted of recessional outwash type sand and
gravel deposits.
The report provided recommendations for site preparation and earthwork, excavation and slopes, rockeries
and modular block walls, utility trench backfill, pavement sections, foundations, slab-on-gradc floors,
retaining walls, and drainage. Due to the potential for impacts that could occur during construction, staff
recommends as a mitigation measure that construction of the project be required to comply with the
recommendations found in the geotechnical report prepared by Earth Solutions NW, LLC, dated July 19,
2006 that was submitted with the project application.
The applicant's SEPA checklist indicates that earthwork activities are estimated at 5,241 cubic yards of cut
and 5, I 08 cubic yards of fill. The majority of the grading would result from the excavation of the storm
drainage detention system. Any additional import or export materials necessary for this project would be
obtained from a City approved site and approved by the project engineer.
Due to the potential for erosion to occur from the subject site, staff recommends a mitigation measure that
requires the applicant to comply with the Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control
Requirements as outlined in Volume II ofthc Stormwater Management Manual.
Mitigation Measures:
I. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations found in the geotechnical report prepared by
Earth Solutions NE, LLC, dated July 19,2006.
2. The applicant shall be required to provide a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan
(TESCP) designed pursuant to the Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control
Requirements outlined in Volume II of the Stormwater Management Manual and provide staff with a
Construction Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of Construction Permits. This condition shall be subject
to the review and approval ofthe Development Services Division.

the provided TIR the project is located in the Lower Cedar River King County Drainage Basin
(WRIA #8) within the Cedar River-Lake Washington watershed.
Stormwater runoff for the proposed project would be collected and conveyed in a piped conveyance
system directed towards a facility consisting of Stormtech® Chambers in a series with a concrete
vault to act as one large facility. The stann chambers would be located under the northern road and
the concrete vault would be east of the chambers, under the parking stalls in the northeast comer of
the site. Water quality treatment for the site would be provided by the proposed vault, which would
bc used as a combined water quality and detention facility.
Site runoff would be released into existing stonn drainage main along Duvall Avenue NE. The
runoff would continue thorough pipe and ditch conveyances systems until entcring Maplewood
Creek and eventually reaching the Cedar River. A down stream analysis was prepared by Jaeger
Engineering, dated September 29, 2006.
The City's Plan Review Section has reviewed the submitted drainage report. Due to downstream
flooding and erosion problems in Maplewood Creek, staff recommends a mitigation measure that
would require the project to comply with the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual to
meet both detention (Conservation Flow control -a.k.a. Level 2) and water quality improvements.
Pursuant to thc TIR submitted by ESM Consulting Engineers, LLC, the stonnwater detention and
water quality facilities were designed in accordance with the 2005 King County Surface Water
Design Manual.
Mitigation Measures: This project shall be required to comply with the requirements found in the
2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual to meet both detention (Conservation Flow control
-a.k.a. Level 2) and water quality improvements.
Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations, 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual
3. Parks and Recreation
Impacts: The proposal does provide on-site green space for future residents of the proposed neighborhood,
although recreation space is not provided_ It is anticipated that the proposed development would generate
future demand on existing City parks and recreational facilities and programs. Therefore, staff recommends
a mitigation measure requiring that the applicant pay a Parks Mitigation Fec based on $530.76 per each new
single-family lot or $388.00 per multi-family unit. Which is estimatcd to be $11,350.92, with credit given
for the two existing single family residences.
Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall pay a Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per each new single-
family lot and $388.00 per multi-family unit prior to recoding the final plat.
Nexns: SEPA Environmental Regulation, Resolution 3037
4. Transportation
Impacts: The site access is proposed via a new narrow public street that loops though the site from
Bremerton Avenue NE. The main southerly entry road right-of-way is proposed to be 40-feet wide, and
would include parallel parking on one side of the street, a planter strip with street trees, and a detached
sidewalk. At the rear of the lot, the new proposed street would then transition to a 20-foot wide lane with
16 feet of paving, which provides access to a series of one-car garages and open parking stalls (Tracts B-D).
The new proposed looped street would tenninate at Bremerton Avenue NE near the north portion of the
subject parcel.
A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared by Gibson Traffic Consultants, dated October 13, 2008 was
submitted with the project application. According to the TIA, the proposed project would result in the
addition of 202.23 new average daily trips (ADT) with 16 new AM peak-hour trips (4 inbound/I2
outbound) and 20.65 new PM peak-hour trips (13-inbound/8 outbound) that would be generated on an
average weekday.

It is anticipated that the proposed project would result in impacts to the City's street system. Therefore, staff
recommends a mitigation measure requiring the payment ofa Traffic Mitigation Fee in the amount of$75
for each new net daily trip prior to the recording of the final plat, which is estimated to be $15,167.25. In
addition, the report provided recommended mitigation measures to provide adequate/safe site tranic access
to the proposed residential development and to enhance vehicular/pedestrian travel safety in the site vicinity.
The recommended mitigation measures include the construction of new roadway improvements for
Bremerton Avenue NE per City of Renton's road design standards, with adequate pavement width plus
curb/gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalks on the development side ofthe roadway and the installation of a
standard "STOP" sign on the proposed westbound approach of the two access location to safely control the
site traffic to Bremerton Avenue NE. As such, staff recommends a mitigation measure that the applicant
comply with the recommendation found in the Tranic Impact Analysis prepared for the subject project.
Mitigation Measures:
1. The applicant shall pay a Traffic Mitigation Fee in the amount of $75 for each new net daily trip
prior to the recording of the final plat.
2. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations found in the Tranic Impact Analysis
prepared by Gibson Tranic Consultants, dated October 13,2008.
Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations, Resolution 3100
5. Fire & Police
Impacts: The proposal would add new residential units to the City that would potentially impact the City's
Police and Fire Emergency Services. Staff recommends a mitigation measure requiring the applicant to pay
a Fire Mitigation Fee, based on $388.00 per new multi-family lot and $488.00 per new single-family lot prior
to the recording of the final plat. The fire mitigation fee is estimated to be $10,624.00 with credit given for
the two existing single-family residences.
Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall pay a Fire Mitigation Fee based on $388.00 per new multi-family
lot and $488.00 per new single-family lot prior to the recording of the final plat.

PLEASE RETURN TO VANESSA DOLBEE IN CURRENT PLANNING 6TH FLOOR
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting Preliminary Planned Urban Development (PUD) approval, Environmental
Review and a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit for stand alone residential in the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone. The subject
site is located on the east side of Bremerton Ave, NE, just south of NE 4th Street at 330 Bremerton Avenue NE, The site consists of
two separate parcels totaling 78,458 square feet in the CA zone and the NE 4th Street Business District Overlay, The site currently
contains two single-family homes and their associated outbuildings, which are proposed to be removed. The concept for the PUD is
to create a small, intimate neighborhood of 25 detached cottages and townhomes on individual lots resulting in a net density of 16.89
dwelling units per acre. Proposed lot sizes range from 2096 square feet to 1034 square feet. The site would be access via a looped
public road with two access paints on Bremerton Avenue NE, The applicant has proposed 52 parking spaces for the development
located in detached garages, attached garages, parallel spaces, and open parking stalls, The applicant has proposed to replant
removed trees with 48 new trees. There are no critical areas on site. The applicant submitted a Traffic Study, Geotechnical

Format and Legal Description Review
Bob Mac Onie and I have reviewed the above referenced PUD submittal and have the following
comments:
Comments for the Applicant:
NOTE: This PUD appears to be better suited as a condominium. Was that considered 1
It is difficult to determine the boundaries of the five tracts, as presented, in the preliminary
submittal. Some areas of the site PUD do not appear to be in either a tract or in a
home/townhomes lot. All dimensions and bearings of said tracts will need to be clearly noted on
the final submittal.
What happens at the n0l1heast corner of the PUD site where Tract 0 appears to cut through the
parking spaces for spaces 35 through 32') What tract are the remaining portions of said parking
spaces in, that is, those portions not within said Tract D?
It appears that there are parking spaces noted in the southerly "LOOP ROAD A" tract for parking
space numbers 44 through 52. Are said parking spaces a part of the public street?
It is not clear how the transition between the southerly entry road and the 20 foot wide lane, to the
east, is accomplished.
Are the 4'and S' sidewalks part of the tracts')
The total tract area is noted as 19,771 SF on the submittal. The sum of the individual tracts is 20,
630 SF. Review and revise as needed.
The preliminary PUD site legal description must be noted on the preliminary submittal.

Information needed for final PUD approval includes the following:
Note the City of Renton land use action number and land record number, LUA-XX-XXX-PUD
and LND-20-0472, respectively, on the PUD drawing, preferably in the upper right-hand corner.
The type size used for the land record number should be smaller that that used for the land use
action number. It is assumed that the final land use number for the PUD will be different from
the preliminary PUD number. Said final number is unknown as of this date.
The final PUD submittal has to be prepared by, or under, the direction of a licensed surveyor, and
the submittal has to meet all City of Renton and King County recording requirements.
Show ties to the City of Renton Survey Control Network (tic the subject property to the Survey
Control Network). The geometry will be checked by the city when the ties have been provided.
Provide PUD plat and lot closure calculations.
Complete City of Renton Monument Cards, with reference points of all new right of way
monuments set as part of the pun.
Provide sufficient information to dctermine how the PUD boundary was established.
Include a statement of equipment and procedures used, per WAC 332-130-100.
Note the dates the existing monuments were visited, per WAC 332-130-150, and what was found.
Indicate what has been, or is to be, set at the corners of the proposed lots.
Note discrepancies between bearings and distances of record and those measured or calculated, if
any.
Note all easements, covenants and agreements of record on the PUD submittal.
The city will provide addresses for the proposed lots as soon as possible. The addresses will need
to be noted on the dm wing.
On the final PUD submittal, remove all references to surface parking lines and utility facilities
and other items not dircctly impacting the subdivision (items noted in the "SITE OAT A" hlock).
Do not show building setback lines on the lots, or in the "DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS: CA
"block. Setbacks will be determined at the time that building permits are issued. In addition,
note that none of the other item.s listed under said Development Standards block is needed for
recording purposes -remove said block.
Remove the "BUILDING FOORPRINT', "BUILDING (SF)" and "BUILDING COVERAGE"
columns from the "LOT COVERAGE TABLE" block.

Comments for the Project Manager:
Please make note of, and enlighten us, on how it was determined that the subject property was to
he processed and recorded as a PUD. A condominium appears to be a better choice.

As requested by the applicant in the meeting on December 12, 2008 City staff has
conducted a site visit to determine if the small wetland located just south of the subject
site is regulated or would meet !be exemption in Renton Municipal Code 4-3-050C.f.
City Staff visited the site on January 13, 2009 and has determined that the subject
wetland is less then 2,200 square feet and therefore would meet the exemption
requirement. Therefore, this off site wetland would not have a buffer that would extend
onto the subject site. As such, your project has been taken off hold and the City will
continue review of the Orange Grove Cottages PUD project.
The PUD has been rescheduled for Environmental Review on January 26, 2009 and is
tentatively scheduled to go before the Hearing Examiner on February 24, 2009 at 9:00
am. If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 430-7314.

Alex Pietsch, Administrator
The Planning Division of the City of Renton accepted the above master application for review on
December 2, 2008. During our review, staff has determined that additional information is
necessary in order to proceed further.
The following information will need to be submitted so that we may continue the review of the
above subject application:
The "Revised Critical Areas Reconnaissance Report" prepared by Chad Armour, LLC, dated
October 28, 2008 concluded "It is possible that the shallow depression located adjacent to the
southeast comer of the site functions as a wetland." Based on this conclusion and Renton
Municipal Code (RMC) 4-3-050M.3 the applicant shall conduct a wetland classification study
to determine the classification of the wetland adjacent to the southeast comer ufthe site and
determine if this wetland would be regulated under RMC. Ifit is detemlined that the subject
wetland would be regulated under RMC then a delineation would be required for any portion
of the wetland or its buffer on the subject property. In addition, if there are proposed impacts
to the wetland a mitigation plan that meets the requirements of RMC should also be submitted.
At this time, your project has been placed "on hold" pending receipt of the requested
information. Please contact me at (425) 430-7314 if you have any questions.

Review of current plans and material, previous pre-application material and on site
review have disclosed additional Fire Code and Policy related issues and concerns that
need to be addressed for approval to be granted.
Renton Fire & Emergency Services comments:
I. Fire Apparatus Access:
a. The fire apparatus road access shall be located as to be within ISO feet of
all exterior points of the building. The proposal appears to be in excess of
this distance for buildings 16 and 17.
b. The minimum required width of the fire apparatus road access shall be no
less than 20 feet wide and on a surface capable of sustaining the weight of
a fire apparatus. This minimum width does not include curbs or
sidewalks. The proposed 16 ft. pavement width does not meet this
requirement.
c. Fire lane sign age shall be required along one side of the road where the
road width is less than 28 ft. wide. Signage shall be placed on the same
side in which hydrants may be located. Signage shall be as in accordance
with section 503 of the 2006 International Fire Code and City of Renton

to the City of Renton by the applicant.
Water:
• The project site is located in the 565 Water Pressure Zone. The static pressure at the
street level is approximately 70 psi. There is an existing 8" watermain located in
Bremerton Ave NE (see City of Renton drawing W-3260 for detailed engineering
plans).
• This project is required to install an 8" watermain connected to the existing main in
Bremerton Ave NE looped through the site in the public right of way and connected
back to the main in Bremerton Ave NE. In addition, the main shall be extended to the
east and connect to the existing water main (W3024). The main shall also be
extended to the south property line in a 15' easement (if necessary) to the City of
Renton. The City of Renton code dictates that the lateral spacing of fire hydrants
shall be predicated on hydrants being located at street intersections.
• Each unit requires a separate service line to serve the domestic water meter.
• Any new construction must have one fire hydrant capable of delivering a minimum of
1,000 GPM and shall be located within 150 feet ofthe structure and additional
hydrants (also capable of delivering a minimum of 1,000 GPM) within 300 feet of the

We have completed a preliminary review of the pre-application for the above-referenced development
proposal. The following comments all development alld permittillg issues are based on the pre-application
submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant and the codes in effect all the date of review. The
applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary may be subject to modification andior
concurrence by official decision-makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Community & Economic Development
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 on the City'S website www.rentonwa.gov
Project Proposal
The subject site, which is comprised of two existing lots, is located at 330 Bremerton Ave NE, south ofNE
4'h St. Access would be from Bremerton Ave NE via a private road that would loop through the parcel
resulting in two access points off of Bremerton Ave NE. The project site totals 37,203 square feet (0.82
acres) in area zoned Commercial Arterial (CA) and located within the NE 4th Business District overlay. The
applicant proposes to redevelop the site to accommodate three different housing types, townhomes, detached
cottages and carriage houses totaling 24 dwelling units. The redevelopment would include removal of the
two existing single-family house and associated outbuildings. All parking for cottages and carriage houses
would be located in the rear of the lot. This parking area would be comprised on 10 surface parking spaces
and 21 garage spaces. The townhomes would have parking provided in their ground floor garages.
The applicant should note that the only type of residential development allowed within the Commercial
Arterial (CA) zone is multi-family. In addition, stand-alone residential development is not encouraged
within the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone. The site is also located within the NE 4'" Street Corridor
Business District and is subject to further restrictions on stand-alone residential use. Staff recommends that
the applicant consider a mixed-use residential development in a more urban form with ground-level
commercial use.
Any proposal for multi-family stand-alone residential development in the NE 4'" SI. Corridor Business
District must meet the Special Decision Criteria in RMC 4-9-030.K. (enclosed). The applicant should be
aware that residential development is permitted in the District only when all of these requirements are met,
including the following:
• Commercial use of the property is not feasible.
Orange Grove Cottages
July 28, 2008
Page 2 of5
• Residential use will provide a pedestrian-oriented physical connection between residential and
commercial uses.
An administrative Conditional Use Permit would also be required for residential development in the CA
zone, per RMC 4-2-080A.IS.c. Further information on design and permitting requirements is provided
below.
Current Use: The property is curreutly developed with two single-family residential houses and associated
accessory buildings.
Zouing: The project site is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA) aud located in the Commercial Corridor Land
Use designation. The purpose of the Commercial Arterial Zone (CA) is to evolve from "strip commercial"
linear business districts to business areas characterized by enhanced site planning, incorporating efficient
parking lot design, coordinated access, amenities and boulevard treatment. The CA Zone provides for a
wide variety of indoor and outdoor retail sales and services along high-volume traffic corridors. The
proposed sillgle-family (cottages alld carriage houses) are II0t allowed witllill the CA zone, the
TOWII/lOllles (attached residential) would require Admillistrative COllditiollal Use Permit approval.
Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-l20A, "Development Standards for
Commercial Zoning Designations" and RMC 4-3-040F "Development Standards for uses located within NE
Fourth Street. .. Business District" effective at the time of complete application. A copy of these standards is
included herewith.
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth -The proposed development narrative indicates that the property will
be subdivided into individual lots. If lots are formed, the CA zone requires a minimum lot size of 1,200 sf.
An application for subdivision would also be required at the time of Environmental Review, Site Plan
Review, and Conditional Use Permit application.
Lot Coverage -The CA zone allows a maximum building coverage of65 percent, or 75 percent if parking is
provided within a building or within an on-site parking garage. Surface parking is proposed therefore 65
percent would be the maximum building coverage applicable to the subject proposal.
Site data submitted at the time of application must indicate site coverage by buildings and by impervious
area.
Density -The density range required in the NE Fourth Business District and CA zone is a minimum net
residential density of 10 dwelling units per net acre with a maximum of 20 dwelling units per net acre. The
maximum density can be increased to 60 dwelling units per net acre in the NE Fourth Business District for
building with mixed commercial and residential use in the same building. The 60 dwelling units per acre
only applies to the parcel and/or parcels that contain the mixed-use building.
Setbacks -Setbacks are the distance between the building and the property line or any private access
easement. Setback requirements in the CA zone are as follows: 10 feet minimum for the front yard but may
be reduced to zero feet through the site plan review process provided blank walls are not located within the
reduced setback. The maximum front yard setback in the NE 4th Street Business District is 15 feet. Parkillg
is II0t allowed withill the setback area. The side yard along a street setback is required to be a minimum of
10 feet. This setback may be reduced to zero through the Site Plan Review process. There are no minimum
setbacks for the rear or side yards unless the lot abuts or is adjacent to a residential zone. The sllbject site

Critical Areas
Wetlands: The City's Critical Areas Maps indicate the presence of wetlands on the east and north sides of
the site. Wetlands and/or buffer areas may also exist on the site. The applicant is required to submit a
complete wetland report and delineation prior to formal land use application. The report must
include an area extending 100 ft from the property lines oC the subject site. The conclusions of the
wetland report may affect the number oflots possible on the subject site. For wetlands, the applicable buffer
widths based on the category of the wetland are required (Category I -100 ft.; Category 2 -50 ft.; and
Category 3 -25 ft.). If wetlands do exist, and are impacted then a mitigation plan meeting the requirements
of RMC 4-3-050.M. would be required. Please refer to RMC 4-3-050.M. for additional regulations on
wetlands.
Steep Slopes: Based on the City's Critical Areas Maps, it appears that steep slopes (15%-40%) may be
present on the west side of the subject property. A geotechnical analysis is required to be submitted with
the Cormal land use application.
Euvironmental Review
The project would require SEPA review due to Ibe number of lots of the proposed plat (greater than four
dwelling units). The proposal would be brought to the Environmental Review Committee for review as it is
their charge to make threshold detenninations for environmental checklists. Typically, mitigation of impacts
is accomplished through fees related to issues such as transportation, fire and parks as well as measures to
reduce impacts to environmental elements such as soils, streams, water, etc.
Permit Requirements
The proposal would require Administrative Site Plan Approval, Administrative Conditional Use Permit,
Environmental (SEPA) Review, and Preliminary Plat Application. With concurrent review of these
applications, the process would take an estimated time frame of 16 weeks.
The application fee would be $2,000 for the Preliminary Plat Application and Y, offul! fee for SEPA
Review (Environmeutal Checklist), Administrative Conditional Use, and Administrative Site Plan
Review that would be an additional $500.00 each.
Detailed information regarding the land use application submittal requirements is provided in the attached
handouts.
Once preliminary plat approval is received, the applicant must complete any required improvements, such as
putting in sidewalks, a fire hydrant or grading. A separate construction pennit is required for these
improvements. The applicant must also satisfy any conditions of the preliminary approval before the plat
can be recorded. A separate (no-fee) submittal is required for the final plat. The newly created lots may be
sold only after the plat has been recorded. The applicant can submit for a building pennit review for the new
homes before the plat is recorded, but the City can only issue the building permit when the plat has been
recorded.

ORANGE GROVE COTTAGES
pun Narrative
Orange Grove Cottages is a relatively small infill parcel (approximately 1.S acres in size)
on the east side of Bremerton Avenue NE, just south of NE 4th Street in the Renton
Highlands area of the City. The current zoning designation is CA -Commercial Arterial,
the same zoning as the parcel to the north. The property to the east is zoned CA and is
currently being developed with three story townhomes. The property to the south is
zoned R-S with the approved preliminary plat of Laurelhurst and an undeveloped parcel
of land zoned CA. The neighborhood to the west is zoned R-S and is developed with
single family homes.
The Orange Grove Cottages site currently contains two vacant single family homes and
their associated outbuildings. The site is generally rolling in nature with no wetlands,
streams, or sensitive areas. The soil type is Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, draining to
the north edge of the site. The PUD Site Plan for the I.S acre site includes a total of 25
lots/homes, resulting in a net density of 15.6 homes per acre. The lots will range in size
from 1,034 to 2,096 square feet.
The concept for Orange Grove Cottages is to create a small, intimate neighborhood of 25
detached cottages and townhomes. The homes will be oriented toward two landscaped
courtyards or greencourts, the larger courtyard adjacent to Bremerton Avenue NE and a
smaller courtyard in the southeast comer of the site. The homes will either have front
porches or rear decks oriented toward these courtyards, which in tum will provide passive
recreation opportunities with sidewalks linking the homes together. Each home will
include a private yard area enclosed with a low fence.
The homes within the Orange Grove Cottages neighborhood will be accessed via a
narrow public street that loops through the site from Bremerton Avenue NE. Frontage
improvements will be installed along Bremerton Avenue NE. The main southerly entry
road will include parallel parking on one side of the street, a planter strip with street trees,
a detached sidewalk, and front porches. This public street will then transition to a 20 foot
wide lane, which provides access to a series of one car garages, open parking stalls, and
two car garages within the townhomes. There ",ill be a total of 52 parking spaces,
resulting in a parking ratio of 2.08 stalls per home.
The total estimated construction costs is $700,000 Vvith an estimated fair market value of
$7,500,000. The grading of the site will require the excavation and placement of 5,241
cubic yard of cut and 5,1 08 cubic yards of till material, which will be imported from a
City approved location. There will be a total of 47 trees removed, with sizes ranging
from 4" to 72" DBH. During the construction and sales of the homes, there will be a
construction trailer on the site and one of the homes and townhomes will be utilized as
model homes.
There are two modifications being sought with this application, which are discussed in
greater detail in the Planned Unit Development and Conditional Use Permit application
narratives. We are seeking to provide a looping public street/lane system to access the
homes and lots within the preliminary plat. We are also requesting that this site, despite
its Commercial Arterial zoning designation, be approved to provide stand alone
residential uses with no commercial development.
ORANGE GROVE COTTAGES
Conditional Use Permit Justification
The proposed residential use for Orange Grove Cottages is in keeping with the intent of
the Commercial Arterial zone in the City of Renton, in that the result will be a mix of
uses with both commercial and residential uses immediately adjacent to one another. The
property to the north, with direct access to the NE 4th Street corridor, currently contains
existing commercial and service uses that will serve the future residents of this proposed
neighborhood. Convenient and safe vehicular and pedestrian access between the two
properties is provided through the frontage improvements along Bremerton Avenue NE.
This blend of commercial and residential uses is very similar to Hillcrest Village which is
also zoned Commercial Arterial and is currently being constructed directly to the east of
Orange Grove Cottages.
Comprehensive Plan
The proposed residential use will be compatible with the City's Comprehensive Plan in
that it creates a mix and a blend of both commercial and residential uses in close
proximity to one another and to the NE 4th Street Corridor. The future residents of
Orange Grove Cottages will have easy access to the stores and services along this
corridor.
Community Need
The detached cottages and attached townhomes within Orange Grove Cottages will
provide a housing alternative to the lower density, more traditional subdivisions in this
portion of the City. The homes and townhomes will be smaller and more affordable to
the marketplace, yet they will be very compatible with the surrounding existing homes
and offer an attractive streetscape along Bremerton Avenue NE. The detached cottages
and the townhomes will focus on a landscaped courtyard or greencourt which has been
placed adjacent to Bremerton Avenue NE. Each home will have access to the passive
recreation aspects of the courtyard and will include an enclosed private yard area. This
type of irmovative housing will offer variety and diversity for the City of Renton, and is
currently not being marketed to potential homebuyers. With this situation, Orange Grove
Cottages will certainly not result in an overconcentration of this type of use within the
City nor within the immediate area. The proposed location, with commercial uses to the
north, townhouse condominiums to the east, and R-8 single family detached housing to
the south, is suited to this type of housing and has been designed to be very compatible
with the neighborhood.
Effect on Adjacent Properties
The proposed use will not result in substantial or undue adverse effects on the adjacent
parcels. In fact, the site plan for Orange Grove Cottages has been created to recognize
and adjust to the surrounding homes, and to be very compatible. The detached cottages
will be two story in height and are internally focused onto two landscaped courtyards,
reducing the impact on the surrounding homes. The taller attached townhomes, with
tuckunder parking, have been placed in the north portion of the site adjacent to the
existing commercial uses along NE 4th Street and are also oriented toward the internal
courtyard.
The garages and the majority of parking spaces for the homes are located along the
eastern portion of the property to both create an attractive streetscape along Bremerton
Avenue NE and to buffer the townhouse condominiums currently being constructed
immediately to the east. Landscaping will be installed along the perimeter of the
proposed development to buffer the adjacent uses.
ORANGE GROVE COTTAGES
Urban Center Design Overlay District Report
Pedestrian Building Entries
The entries to the cottages and attached townhouses are accessed through the two
courtyards or greencourts and connected through a series of pedestrian paths linking the
courtyards with the public sidewalk along Bremerton Avenue NE. The front doors for
the homes are oriented toward these courtyards and are visible from Bremerton Avenue
NE or from the internal roadway system. The homes and townhomes will feature Iront
porches and small, fenced private yards as a transition from the courtyards to the homes.
Transition to Surrounding Development
The detached cottages have been placed in the southern portion of the property adjacent
to the R-8 zoning that currently exists to the south in the form of the preliminary plat for
Laurelhurst. The two story detached homes will be very compatible with the single
family homes anticipated for Laurelhurst. The larger three story townhouse structures
have been located in the northern portion of the property adjacent to the existing
commercial uses to the north, again resulting in a compatible transition to these uses.
Single story garages and open parking have been placed along the east boundary adjacent
to the three story townhouses (Hillcrest Village) currently being constructed along this
boundary. The garages and parking stalls will provide an appropriate transition between
these two neighborhoods.
As a transition from the existing single family homes on the west side of Bremerton
Avenue NE, the side elevations of the cottages and townhomes are oriented toward this
public street, separated by the large landscaped courtyard. These side elevations will
feature front doors and porches to create an attractive streetscape when viewed from
Bremerton Avenue NE. Street trees and landscaping will also enhance this transition
area.
Location of Parking, Design of Surface Parking
The majority of the parking, both garages and open parking stalls, will be located in the
eastern portion of the property with no visual impact on Bremerton Avenue NE. The
garages will be single story in height resulting in little or no impact on the townhouse
neighborhood currently being constructed to the east. This easterly lane will be double
loaded with garages to be as efficient as possible, limiting the amount of impervious
surfaces. Additional parallel guest parking is located along the southerly enlry road. The
townhouses and one cottage will include tuckunder garages within the structures.
Vehicular Access
The homes and tovmhomes within Orange Grove Cottages will be accessed via a narrow
road/lane that will loop through the neighborhood, providing efficient and safe access for
both the residents and emergency vehicles. There will be no dead end streets or lanes.
The access points are at the south and north boundaries of the property, allowing the
homes and to\vnhomes to be internally oriented toward the landscaped courtyards.
Pedestrian Circulation
Pedestrian access is provided throughout the neighborhood, connecting the front doors of
the homes and townhomes, as well as the courtyards, with the public sidewalk to be
constructed along Bremerton Avenue NE. There is continuous pedestrian connection
between the two courtyards, linking the homes to one another and providing pedestrian
access to the landscaped, passive open space courtyards.
Common Space
Common open space is provided for the homes and townhomes in the forn1 of the two
landscaped courtyards. These courtyards are much like 'outdoor living rooms" that are
shared by all the homeovvners. The larger courtyard is located adjacent to Bremerton
Avenue NE, with a smaller courtyard in tbe southeast comer of the property. The homes
are clustered around and oriented toward these courtyards, which then provide passive
open space and gathering spaces for the residents. The courtyards will emphasize soft,
materials such as simple lavvns and mulched planting beds. The majority of the courts
will be flexible unprogrammed open lawn in the center. Two pathways running close to
the edges of the courtyard encircle the lawn. Benches around a small plaza will provide a
more formal gathering area.
Landscaping
Street trees and landscaped buffers will be placed along the Bremerton Avenue NE
streetscape to enhance this edge of the neighborhood and provide an attractive pedestrian
accessway to the larger courtyard area in the central portion of the site. The courtyard in
the southeast portion of the site will also include formal and informal landscaping. The
perimeter of the site will be landscaped to provide a visual buffer between Orange Grove
Cottages and the surrounding uses and structures
Building CharacterfMassingfRooflines/Materials
The cottages and town houses surrounding the two courtyard greens are designed to both
enhance the sense of intimate community in which neighbors interact, as well as provide
necessary privacy and personal space. Attention to details that define public and private
transitions are important in an intimate courtyard community.
Each house has a front porch facing onto the common courtyard. The porch acts as a
transition space between the private living rooms, and the community living rooms of the
courtyards. Porches will be deep cnough to provide enough space for a group of people
to sit together under cover. By placing the low fences and public pathways just 4' from
the porch edge, those on their porches are at a comfortable distance to chat with those
walking by. Attention to detail is important as we raise the porch level at least one foot
above the pathway to give the homeo'wner that subtle rise above the passerby. Very low
fences enclose each property thus clearly defining the separation of personal and
community space.
There are four types of buildings that will make up the community:
I. Small cottages around the southeast courtyard
2. Large cottages around the front courtyard
3. Townhouses in two buildings of three units
4. A community building
The building character, massing, roo Dines and materials are all designed to reinforce the
sense of community, and to enclose the two courtyards as if they are "outdoor rooms".
With this aim, it is important to both achieve a consistency and compatibility between the
various homes, while also expressing the individuality and uniqueness of each.
There will not be just one color and one material for the whole community, however the
materials and colors will be reserved to a limited palette. Exterior materials will be
wood, or hardiplank, in either clapboard, shingle, board & batten, or panel configurations.
Roof lines will be calm and consistent with the goal of making well proportioned outdoor
rooms in the courtyards. The main rooflines will be hips, or gables with simple shed or
gable roofs for porches, bay windows and dormers. Windows will mostly be vertically
proportioned. They will either be double hung, awning, or casement windows. Sliding
doors or windows will not be used.
The community building will either be a small enclosed building or an open air covered
pavilion located at the western edge of the main courtyard. Being a community place, it
may stand out in some way from the homes in order to signify this unique gathering
place.

ORANGE GROVE COTTAGES
PUD Statement of Compliance with Decision Criteria
1. Demonstration of Compliance and Superiority
Orange Grove Cottages will provide a distinct housing alternative to more traditional
single family plats in the City of Renton. The detached cottages and tovmhomes will be
smaller in size and more affordable in the marketplace, while creating an attractive,
livable neighborhood for the residents. The street frontage along Bremerton A venue NE
will be improved with curb, gutter, a detached sidewalk street trees and landscaping. The
homes will be designed to enhance this streetscape with side entries adjacent to
Bremerton Avenue NE.
The homes themselves will be placed around and focus on two courtyards, or
greencourts, with either front porches or rear decks oriented to these courtyards. These
courtyards will be landscaped to provide a pleasing open space with passive open space
opportunities. Parking for most of the detached homes will be provided by single car
garages located along the east edge of the site, while the tovmhomes will feature attached
two car garages tucked under the living area. One detached cottage will be located above
enclosed parking.
The development has been designed to be very compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood and uses. The access points from Bremerton A venue NE are located along
both the south and north property Jines, resulting in more of an inward focused land plan.
The single story garages have been placed along the east boundary to provide a buffer
from the higher density housing currently being constructed along this boundary and to
eliminate the visual impact of garages along Bremerton Avenue NE. The detached
homes in the southeast portion of the site are clustered to orient toward this courtyard as
opposed to the adjacent properties. The detached cottages will be two stories in height to
be compatible with the existing homes in the neighborhood, while the townhomes will be
three stories in height and located toward the commercial uses to the north of the site.
2. Public Benefit
a. There are no critical areas within the boundaries of the site.
b. The proposed grading is intended to conform to the existing topography of
the site as much as possible, given the need to connect to Bremerton
Avenue NE and to provide drainage facilities per City requirements. The
site slopes down to the north as do the proposed grading and drainage
improvements.
c. No public facilities are provided within this small infill site. The internal
street will be public.
d. Overall Design:
I. The site plan features two landscaped courtyards, providing visual
interest and passive open space opportunities for the residents.
These landscaped areas will provide more variety along the
streetscape and within the development, as opposed to a series of
houses and roads as found in more typical subdivisions. The
homes will be reached through a series of common area sidewalks
through the courtyards, providing pedestrian connections to
Bremerton Avenue NE and throughout the site.
II. The homes will be accessed from a looping public road and lane
system that results in efficient connectivity with no dead end
streets. This loop provides access to the garages and the majority
of the open parking, all located at the east side of tbe property
away from Bremerton Avenue NE. The result is an attractive
streetscape along this public road with no visible garages.
Ill. The site plan does create superior buffering from both Bremerton
A venue NE and from the surrounding properties through the
orientation and placement of the homes and the road system. As
stated above, an attractive streetscape is created along Bremerton
Avenue NE with landscaping, porches for the adjacent homes, and
no garages visible from this street. With the internal public
road/lane system along the south boundary and the north boundary,
and the orientation of tbe homes toward the internal courtyards, the
adjacent properties are buffered from the homes in Orange Grove
Cottages.
IV. The site plan does provide superior placement, relationship and
orientation of the structures with the use of the courtyards and
greencourts within the neighborhood. The homes are then oriented
toward these landscaped, passive recreation areas with either front
porches or rear decks.
v. While the public roads and lanes are not literally "alleys", they do
serve the purpose of removing the garages from Bremerton
A venue NE and significantly reducing the visual impact of the
garages.
3. Additional Review Criteria
a. Building and Site Design
1. Perimeter: The homes and townhomes are internally oriented
toward the courtyards and green courts. buffering and reducing the
visual impact on the adjacent properties. Only one story single car
garages are located along the boundary, and even then, only along
the east boundary adjacent to the higher density housing being
constructed. The small, detached cottages are two stories in height
and are certainly compatible with the homes in the community.
The attached townhomes are three stories in height and have been
located in the nortbern portion of the site, near the existing
commercial uses along NE 4th Street.
11. Interior Design: The detached cottages and attached homes will
provide variety in housing types and architectural design, size,
bulk, details, and character, yet will also be related to one another
through the use of compatible materials and colors.
b. Circulation: The homes will be accessed through the looping road/lane
system for vehicular access and through the system of connected
pedestrian paths for the residents. The road/lane system will provide
adequate room for emergency access and for the traffic generated by this
relatively small, infill development. The access to the site does not create
major impacts on the adjacent properties due to the placement of
landscaping along the southerly edge and through the setback from the
adjacent commercial uses to the nortb. The garages along the east
boundary will buffer the impact of the internal lane from thc adjacent
higher density housing along this edge.
c. Infrastructure and Services: The Orange Grove Cottages development
will provide sufticient utility services, emergency services, and other
proposed improvements to serve the future residents.
d. Clusters and Open Space: The detached cottages and tovvnhomes are
clustered around, and oriented toward, the two landscaped courtyards or
greencourts within the proposed neighborhood. These courtyards will be
improved and landscaped to provide passive recreation and gathering
opportunities for the residents. The small homes/townhomes, with limited
footprints as well as the narrower public roads/lanes, will result in a
reduction in the amount of impervious surfaces.
e. Privacy and Building Separation: The homes and townhomes oriented
toward the two open space areas are separated by the landscaped
courtyards, resulting in internal privacy for the homes. With this
orientation toward the internal courtyards, privacy is enhanced for the
adjacent homes, both existing and proposed, along the boundaries of the
site. Fencing, landscaping, window placement, and insulation will be used
to protect the privacy of the residents, to enhance the visual appeal of the
community, and to screen the mechanical equipment and storage for the
homes. With the majority of the homes being either detached cottages or
townhomes at the end of the structures, each home will have adequate
light and air.
f. Building Orientation: The homes are oriented toward the internal
courtyards with either front porches or rear decks, providing views into
these landscaped areas.
g. Parking Area Design
1. Design: The majority of the parking and all of the detached
garages arc located along the east boundary of the property with
landscaped areas to reduce the impact of the garages. The garages
are separated from one another with open parking to provide
variety along the internal lane, rather than a long line of garage
doors. The internal lane is "double loaded" with parking, resulting
in an efficient layout.
n. Adequacy: The total number of parking spaces provided through
the garages, parallel parking, and open parking stalls is 52 stalls, a
ratio of 2.08 stalls per home. This meets (or exceeds) the code
requirement of 48 stalls for the proposed residential use.
h. Phasing: The 25 detached cottages and townhomes will be constructed as
one, stand alone phase.

under garages, detached garages and open parking stalls. The parking for the two vacant
homes will be removed to facilitate the new community.

d. Will the proposal require any new roads or streets, or improvements to existing roads or
streets, not including driveways? If so, generally describe (indicate whether public or
private?
Approximately 683 linear feet of streets will be constructed with this community. The
street frontage along Bremerton Avenue Northeast will be improved with curb, gutter &
sidewalk.
e. Will the project use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of) water, rail, or air transportation?
If so, generally describe.
No
f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project? If
known, Indicate when peak volumes would occur.
According to the Institute of Traffic Engineers Manual, 7th Edition, there wi/I be an
average of approximately 10 vehicular trips per day, per household. For the entire project
of 25 new homes, that would amount to approximately 250 new average daily trips. Peak
volumes would most likely occur during typical rush hour times of 7:00 -9:00 AM and
4:00 -6:00 PM and would add approximately 24 AM peak hour trips. Please see the
Traffic Analysis by Gibson Traffic Consultants, dated October 13''', 2008 for more
Information.
g. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any:
The applicant will be responsible for appropriate traffic mitigation fees, which will mftigate
the impacts of the community. Other mitigation includes the construction of frontage
Improvements and new private access ways to serve the homes.
15. PUBLIC SERVtCES
a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services (for example: fire
protection, police protection, health care, schools, other)? If so, generally describe.
There would be a minimal increased need for fire and police protection due to an
additional 25 new homes in the area. Also, there will be a minimal impact on the present
school system.
b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct Impacts on public services, if any.
Property taxes, building permit fees and school impact mitigation fees generated from
these residences are expected to mitigate impacts created by this development.
16. UTILITIES
a. Circle utilities currently available at the site: electricity, natural gas, water, refuse
service, telephone, sanitary sewer, septic system, other.
b. Describe the utilities that are proposed for the project, the utility providing the service, and
the general construction activities on the site or in the immediate vicinity which might be
needed.

Subject: Revised Critical Areas Reconnaissance Report
Orange Grove Cottages
Renton, Washington
Dear Mr. Rousso:
We are pleased to present the results of our revised critical areas reconnaissance for the
above-referenced property (site) located in Renton, Washington. The work was
accomplished in accordance with your verbal request and the City of Renton (City)
request to address streams. The purpose of the work is to assess the potential for
wetlands or streams to be present on and near the site.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
There do not appear to be any wetlands or streams present on the site. There is an
area adjacent to the site that appears to function as a wetland. And the depression in
the northeast corner of the site, although it lacks the hydric soil component, supports
hydrophytic vegetation, suggesting that it holds water at least temporarily.
The depression appears to function as a defacto stormwater detention pond. It occupies
a natural low spot that is a part of a shallow swale that extends west along the northern
site boundary. We observed no stream channel or indication of overland flow in the
bottom of the swale. Thus the swale does not function as a stream.
An area adjacent to the southeast corner of the site exhibits vegetation typically found in
wetlands.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
We understand that you are considering purchasing this site. The site is composed of
one parcel (No. 152305-9035) located at 330 Bremerton Avenue (Attachment A-
Sketch Map). This 1.59 acre site is the location of two single-family homes, several
small sheds, mowed lawn, a garden, and native, fruit, and ornamental trees.
The King County iMap indicates that no wetlands or streams are present on or near the
site. An unclassified stream is mapped about 1,200 feet east of the site. A Class 2
wetland is mapped about 500 feet east of the same.
The City Storm-Surface Water map shows what appears to be a branch of Maplewood
Creek near the northern site boundary. We say appears because the color of the
'stream' does not correspond to the color of streams in the map legend.

There is one soil type mapped on the site; Alderwood gravelly sandy loam. Alderwood
soils are moderately well drained and have a weakly to strongly consolidated hardpan at
a depth of 24 to 36 inches. They formed in glacial deposits on flat to steep slopes. In a
representative profile, the surface layer is very dark brown (10YR 212) to dark brown
(10YR 413) gravelly sandy loam. The B horizon is grayish brown (2.5Y 512) gravelly
sandy loam. Alderwood gravelly sandy loam is not a listed hydric soil.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
We visited the site on August 11, 2006 to check for the presence of wetlands and
streams on and adjacent to the site. Re revisited the site on September 4, 2008 to see if
site conditions had changed since our initial site visit.
Site and Off-Site Description
Most of the site is dominated by grass (mowed and unmowed) and widely-scattered
mature trees. Also present are fruit trees and ornamentals. The southern 80 percent of
the site is relatively level.
The site is bounded by commercial properties to the north and what appears to be a
multi-family residential development that is currently under construction to the east.
Single-family homes on relatively small lots are located southeast of the site. Single-
family homes on moderate-sized lots are located to the south and west, and to the west
the area supports single-family homes on relatively small lots.
On-Site Swale
The swale that parallels the northern site boundary corresponds with the 'stream' shown
on the City Storm-Surface Water map. The bottom of the swale is about 7 to 9 feet
lower that the property to the north and the ground on the site to the south. The swale
exhibited upland conditions and is dominated by grasses. We looked for indications of a
channel or flowing water in the bottom of the swale and found none. A description of the
depression on the eastern end of the swale follows.
On-Site Depression
The northeast corner of the site appears to function as a stormwater detention pond,
although it does not appear to be designed as such. The southern slope is confining
and natural. The northern side of the depression is a rockery apparently constructed
when the commercial property to the north was developed. The eastern side of the
depression is composed of fill material that was imported prior to our 2006 site visit. The
western side of the depression is open and a part of the swale previously described.
The north and east walls of the depression are about 6 to 7 feet tall. The south and east
slopes are covered with a thick stand of Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum)
and Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor).
We assessed the depression in the northeast corner of the site in 2006. This area is
dominated by shrubs including Sitka willow (Salix sitchensis) and hardhack (Spiraea
douglash). Also present is red-osier dogwood (Comus stolonifera). These plant species
are rooted in more than 14 inches of very dark brown (10YR 2/2) loamy fine sand with
no hint of mottles. The presence of water stained leaves suggests that standing water

was present in the bottom of the depression the winter of 2005/2006, However based
on the absence of wetland hydrology indicators (oxidized root channels) and hydric soil
indicators (low chroma matrix in conjunction with mottles), we assume that wetland
hydrology is not present for more than 30 consecutive days during the growing season
(Attachment B -Plot 10 SP-1).
Off-Site Wet Areas
An area dominated by plant species adapted to wetland conditions is located adjacent to
the site near its southeast corner (Sketch Map). Here we observed a large black
cottonwood tree (Populus balsamifera). Also present are Scouler's willow (Salix
scouleriana), hardhack, red alder (Alnus rubra), black cottonwood saplings, reed
canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), and slough sedge (Carex obnupla). This shallow
depression is narrow (about 25 to 30 It wide) and extends an unknown distance to the
south. We did not observe any culverts near the southeast corner of the site.
CONCLUSIONS
There are no wetlands or streams present on the Bliss site. The swale near the northern
site boundary contains no channel and surface water does not flow across the swale.
Although standing water accumulates in the depression located in the northeast corner
of the site, the absence of wetland hydrology and hydric soil indicators indicate that this
depression does not function as a wetland. It is possible that the shallow depression
located adjacent to the southeast corner of the site functions as a wetland. If this plant
community functions as a wetland and it is larger than 2,200 square feet, then it would
likely be classified as a Category 3 wetland. The standard buffer for Category 3
wetlands is 25 feet.
LIMITATIONS
Work for this project was performed, and this letter report prepared, in accordance with
generally accepted professional practices for the nature and conditions of the work
completed in the same or similar localities, at the time the work was performed. It is
intended for the exclusive use of J & M Land Development and their assigns for specific
application to the referenced property. This report is not meant to represent a legal
opinion. No other warranty, express or implied, is made.
It should be noted that Chad Armour relied on information provided by others indicated
previously. Chad Armour can only relay this information and cannot be responsible for
its accuracy or completeness. Also note that delineating critical areas and assessing
functions and values are inexact sciences. Biological professionals may disagree on the
precise location of critical area boundaries, their functions, and classification. The final
determination of these characteristics is the responsibility of the permitting authority.
Accordingly, the critical area assessment and delineation performed for this study, as
well as the conclusions drawn in this report, should be reviewed by the appropriate
permitting authority prior to committing to detailed planning and design activities.

: -Important Information About Your
Geotechnical Engineering Report
Geotechnical Services Are Performed for
Specilic Purposes, Persons, and Projects
Geotechnical engineers struclure Iheir services to meet the specific needs 01
their clienls A geolechnical engineering study conducled for a civil engi-
neer may not fulfill the neBds of a construction contractor or even another
civil engineer Because eeeh geotechnical engineering study is unique, each
geotechnical engineering report is unique, prepared solely for Ihe clienl No
one excepl you should rely on your geolechnical engineering report withoul
firsl conferring with the geolechnical engineer who prepared il. And no one
-not even you-should apply the report for any purpose or projecl
except the one originally contemplated
Read the Full Report
Serious problems have occurred because those relying on a geotechnical
engineBring report did not read il all Do nol rely on an execulive summary
Do nol read selecled elements only
A Gootechnical Engineering Report Is Based on
A Unique Set of Project-Specific Factors
Geolechnical engineers consider a number of unique, projecl-specific fac-
lors when establishing Ihe scope of a sludy Typical faclors include: Ihe
clienl's goals, objectives, and risk managemenl preferences; the general
nature of Ihe slruclure involved, ils size, and conliguration; Ihe location of
the slruclure on Ihe site; and olher planned or exisling site improvemenls,
such as access roads, parking lots, and underground ulilities Unfess the
geotechnical engineer who conducted Ihe study specifically indicales oth-
erwise, do nol rely on a geotechnical engineering report Ihat was:
• not prepared for you,
• not prepared for your projecl,
• not prepared for the specific sile explored, or
• compleled before important project changes were made
Typical changes that can erode Ihe reliability 01 an existing geolechnical
engineering report include those that alfect:
• the function of the proposed struclure, as when ii's changed froro a
parking garage to an office building, or from a light industrial plant
to a refrigerated warehouse,
• elevation, configuration, location, orientation, or weight of the
proposed structure,
• composition of the design team, or
• project ownership
As a general rule, always inform your geotechnical engineer 01 project
changes-wen minor ones-and request an assessment of their impact
Geotechnical engineers cannot accept responsibility or liability for problems
that occur because their repoils do not consider developments 01 which
they were not inlormed
Subsurface Conditions Can Change
A geolechnical engineering report is based on conditions that existed at
the time the study was pertormed Do not rely on a geotechnical engineer-
ing repoilwhose adequacy may have beBn affected by: the passage of
time; by man-made events, such as construction on or adjacent to the site;
or by natural events, such as floods, earthquakes, or groundwater fluctua-
tions Always contact the geotechnical engineer before applying the report
to determine il it is slillreliable A minor amount of additionat testing or
analysis could prevent major problems
Most Geotechnical Findings Are Professional
Opinions
Site exploration identifies subsurtace conditions only at those points where
subsurtace tests are conducted or samptes are taken. Geotechnical engi-
neers review lield and laboratory data and then apply their prolessional
judgmenlto render an opinion about subsurtace conditions throughout the
site Actual subsurtace conditions may differ-sometimes significanlly-
from Ihose indicated in your report Retaining the geolechnical engineer
who developed your report to provide construction observation is the
.most effective method of managing Ihe risks associaled wilh unanticipated
cnnditions
A Report's Recommondations Are NotAnal
Do not overrely on the construction recommendations included in your
report. Those recommendations are not final, because geotechnical engi-
neBrs develop them principally from judgment and opinion Geotechnical
engineers can finalize their recommendations only by observing actual
subsurlace conditions reveated during construction The geotechnical
engineer who developed your report cannot assume responsibility or
liability for the mport's recommendations if that engineer does not perform
construction observation
A Geotechnical Engineering Report IS Subject to
Misinterpretation
Other design team members' misinterpretation 01 geotechnical engineering
reports has resulted in costly problems Lower that risk by having your geo-
technical engineer confer with appropriate members of the design team atter
submitting the report Atso retain your geotechnical engineer to review perti-
nent etements of the design team's plans and specifications Contractors can
also misinterpret a geotechnical engineering report Reduce that risk by
having your geotechnical engineer participate in prebid and preconstruction
conlerences, and by providing construction observation
Do Not RedJ'aw the Engineer's Logs
Geotechnical engineers prepare finat boring and testing logs based upon
their interpretation 01 field logs and laboratory data To prevent errors or
omissions, the logs included in a geotechnical engineering report should
neverbe redrawn tor inclusion in architectural or other design drawings
Only photographic or eteclronic reproduction is acceptable, but recognize
that separating logs Irom lhe report can elevale risk
Give Contractors a Complete Report and
Guidance
Some owners and design protessionats mistalrenly believe they can make
contractors liabte for unanticipated subsurtace conditions by limiting what
they provide lor bid preparation To hetp prevent cosily problems, give con-
trectors the complete geotechnical engineering report, bul prelace it with a
clearly written letter of transmittal. In that letter, advise conlreclors that the
report was not prepared for purposes 01 bid development and thatlhe
report's accuracy is limited; encourage them to confer with the geotechnical
engineer who prepared the report (a modest fee may be required) and/or to
conduct additional study to obtain the specific types of infonmation they
need or prefer A prebid conference can also be valuabte 8e sure contrac-
tors have sllfficientlime to per10rm additional study. Only then might you
be in a position to give contrac1ors the best infonmation available to you,
while requiring them to at least share some of the financial responsibilities
stemming from unanticipated conditions
. Read Responsibiflty ProVisions Closely
Some clients, design professionals, and contractors do not recognize that
geotechnical engineering is far less exact than other enginee/ing disci-
plines This lack of understanding has created unrealistic expectations that
have led to disapPOintments, claims, and disputes To help reduce the risk
of such outcomes, geotechnical engineers commonly include a variety of
explanatory provisions in their reports Sometimes labeled "limitations'
many of these provisions indicate where geotechnical engineers' responsi-

Earth Solutions NW, LLC (ESNW) is pleased to present this report titled "Geotechnical
Engineering Study, 330 -Bremerton Avenue Southeast, Renton, Washington".
Based on results of our fieldwork, the site is underlain primarily by native soils consisting of
loose to very dense silty sand with gravel glacial till deposits with the exception of the northern
portion of the site, where about three to four feet of loose fill is underlain by native sand and
gravel deposits. Groundwater was encountered in the northern portion of the site, at depths of
between seven and one-half and eight feet below existing grade. As such, localized zones of
groundwater seepage could be encountered during site grading operations, depending of the
time of year and depth of excavations.
In our opinion, the proposed residential structures can be supported on competent or
recompacted native soils or structural fill used to modify existing site grades, as appropriate.
We anticipate competent native soil capable of providing adequate foundation support will be
encountered at depths of between two to four feet below existing grades. Where loose or
unsuitable soil conditions are exposed at foundation subgrade elevations, compaction of the
soils to the speCifications of structural fill, or overexcavation and replacement with structural fill,
may be necessary. ESNW should have an opportunity to review the final site designs to
provide supplemental geotechnical recommendations, as necessary.
The opportunity to be of service to you is appreciated. If you have any questions regarding the

RENTON, WASHINGTON
ES-0521
INTRODUCTION
This geotechnical engineering study was prepared for the proposed town home development to
be constructed at 330 -Bremerton Avenue Northeast in Renton, Washington. The purpose of
this study w1'ls to excavate a series of test pits throughout the site to characterize soil and
groundwater conditions, perform appropriate geotechnical analyses and develop geotechnical
recommendations for the proposed development. Our scope of services for completing this
geotechnical engineering study included the following:
• Excavating a series of test pits throughout the subject property using a rubber tired
backhoe for purposes of characterizing the soil and groundwater conditions;
• Providing geotechnical recommendations for earthwork, structural fill requirements,
pavements, and drainage facilities;
• Assessing the suitability of site soils for use as structural fill;
• Providing recommendations for soil bearing capacity, subgrade preparation, and
recommendations for foundation support, and;
• Providing additional geotechnical recommendations, as appropriate.
The following documents were reviewed as part of preparing this Geotechnical Engineering
Study:
• Autocad site map e-mailed by the Jaeger Engineering, undated;
• Composite geologic map of the King Area, Booth, 0.8., 2006, and;
• King County Soil Survey (SCS).

Project Description
ES-0521
Page 2
We understand the site will be redeveloped with a series of townhomes and associated
improvements. Due to the shallow topographic relief throughout the site, we anticipate minimal
grading consisting of cuts and fills of less than approximately eight feet will be required to
achieve design elevations. Based on our understanding of the proposed project, the majority
of the fills will occur in the northern portion of the site, in a topographic low area, where grades
may be raised by up to eight feet
The proposed residential structures will likely consist of relatively lightly loaded wood framing
supported on conventional foundations. We anticipate the majority of the residential structures
will incorporate crawl space and slab-on-grade garage floors. Based on our experience with
similar developments, we anticipate wall loads on the order of two to four kips per lineal foot
and slab-on-grade loading of 150 pounds per square foot (psf).
If the above design assumptfons are incorrect or change, ESNW should be contacted to review
the recommendations in this report. ESNW should review the final design to verify that our
geotechnical recommendations have been incorporated into the plans.
Surface
The site is located along the east side of Bremerton Avenue Northeast south of Northeast 4th
Street in Renton, Washington. The approximate location of the subject property is illustrated on
the Vicinity Map (Plate 1). The site consists of an irregularly shaped property with a gross area
of approximate 1.9 acres that includes two separate tax parcels. The approximate limits of the
property are illustrated on the Test Pit Location Plan (Plate 2).
The property is developed with residential buildings and associated structures, which will be
removed as part of the planned development and is surrounded by residential properties.
The overall site topography is relatively level, except for the northern portion, where gradients
gently descend approximately eight feet to a topographic low creating a basin feature
Vegetation throughout the site consists primarily of relatively mature landscaping surrounding
the existing residential structures.

Subsurface
ES-0521
Page 3
A total of five test pits were excavated throughout the subject site for purposes of assessing soil
conditions, and for characterizing and classifying the site soils. Our test pit locations were
largely controlled by the presence of existing structures, underground utilities and relatively
extensive site development However, our subsurface explorations revealed relatively
consistent soil and groundwater conditions across much of the site. Please refer to the test pit
logs provided in Appendix A for a more detailed description of the subsurface conditions.
Topsoil was encountered at all of the test sites and was on the order of four to twelve inches
thick. However, based on the variable topography throughout the site, deeper areas of topsoil
may be encountered during mass grading activities. The topsoil can be considered for use in
landscape or non-structural areas, if desired.
Extensive areas of fill were not encountered during the fieldwork. However, test pits TP-4 and
TP-5 encountered three to four feet of loose silty sand with gravel (Unified Soil Classification
SM) fill containing trace to moderate amounts of debris and organics.
Underlying the topsoil and fill, native soils were encountered consisting primarily of silty sand
and silty sand with gravel soils (SM) in the topographically higher areas, and sand and gravel
(SP, SP-SM, GP-GM) in the northern, topographically lower areas
Geologic Setting
Our review of the referenced geologic map identifies glacially consolidated till deposits (Qvt)
throughout the site and surrounding area. Till soils consist primarily of a non-sorted mixture of
compact silt, sand and gravel and are in a consolidated condition at depth.
The King County Soil Survey (SCS) indicates the presence of Alderwood gravelly sandy loam,
six to fifteen percent slopes (AgC) glClcial till deposits throughout the majority of the site. The
SCS describes these soils as having slow to moderate runoff with a moderate erosion hazard.
The soil conditions encountered during our fieldwork generally correlate with the geologic map
designations and the SCS classification, with the exception of the northern portion of the
property. This area forms a basin which consists of up to approximately nine feet or more of
recessional outwash type sand and gravel deposits.

Groundwater
ES-0521
Page 4
Groundwater was encountered at depths of about seven and one-half to eight feet below
existing grade in test sites TP-4 and TP-5, at the time of the fieldwork (July 2006). Based on
our understanding of the proposed site grading, this area will likely be raised by up to
approximately eight feet. However, the presence of groundwater seepage should be
anticipated in the deeper site exczvations within this area, particularly for utility trench
alignments. Groundwater seepage rates and elevations fluctuate depending on many factors,
including precipitation duration and intensity, the time of year, and soil conditions. In general,
groundwater flow rates are higher during the wetter, winter months.
The soil deposits in the northern portion of the site are consistent with recessional outwash
soils, which typically are underlain by glacial till deposits. Therefore, the groundwater observed
during our fieldwork is likely confined to the northern portion of the site, and we antiCipate any
groundwater that may be encountered within the glacial till deposits will be perched and
relatively light to moderate.
DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
Based on the results of our study, construction of the proposed town home development at the
subject site is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint. The primary geotechnical
considerations associated with the proposed development include site grading and earthwork,
foundation support, structural fill placement, appropriate erosion control and the suitability of the
on-site soils for use as structural fill.
Based on the results of our study, the proposed residential structures can be supported on
conventional spread and continuous foundations bearing on competent native soils or structural
fill, as appropriate. We anticipate competent soil capable of providing adequate foundation
support will be encountered at depths of approximately two to four feet below existing grades in
areas where cuts will likely occur. Where loose or unsuitable soil conditions are exposed at
foundation subgrade elevations, compaction of the soils to the specifications of structural fill, or
overexcavation and replacement with structural fill may be necessary.
In our opinion, the soils generated from cuts throughout the site should generally be suitable for
use as structural fill provided they are close to optimum moisture. The site soils encountered at
our exploration sites will generally exhibit good soil strength when compacted to structural fill
specifications.
The presence of groundwater seepage in deeper utility and site excavations made in the
northern portion of the site should be anticipated. Supplemental recommendations for
controlling groundwater seepage should be provided by the geotechnical engineer during the
grading activities, as appropriate. However, based on the data obtained from the test sites, and
our overall characterization of subsurface conditions, extensive site dewatering will likely not be
necessary for the proposed site development.

This study has been prepared for the exclusive use of Seattle Redevelopment, LLC, and their
representatives. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made. This study has been prepared in
a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of the
profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area. ESNW should have an
opportunity to review final site plans to provide supplemental recommendations, as appropriate.
Site Preparation and Earthwork
The primary geotechnical considerations during the proposed site preparation and earthwork
activities will involve structural fill placement and compaction, site drainage and erosion control.
In-situ Soils
From a geotechnical standpoint, the silty sand and sand soils encountered at the test sites are
generally suitable for use as structural fill. Due to the generally granular nature of the native
soils, use of these soils throughout the structural fill and permanent fill slope areas of the site is
feasible from a geotechnical standpoint The moisture sensitivity of the native soils can be
generally characterized as moderate to high. Because the native soils are moderately to highly
sensitive to mOisture, successful use of the on-site soils will largely be dictated by the moisture
content of the soils at the time of placement and compaction. Soils encountered during site
excavations that are excessively over the optimum moisture content may require moisture
conditioning prior to placement and compaction. Conversely, if the native soils are found to be
dry at the time of placement, moisture conditioning through the application of water may be
necessary prior to compacting the soil.
If the on-site soils cannot be successfully compacted, the use of an imported soil may be
necessary. Imported soil intended for use as structural fill should consist of a well graded
granular soil with a maximum aggregate grain size of four inches, and a moisture content that is
at or near the optimum level. During wet weather conditions, imported soil intended for use as
structural fill should consist of a well graded granular soil with a fines content of five percent or
less defined as the percent passing the #200 sieve, based on the minus three-quarter inch
fraction.
Structural Fill Placement
In general, areas to receive structural fill should be sufficiently stripped of organic matter and
other deleterious material. The observed topsoil layer throughout the majority of the site is
relatively thin, but is also moderately compressible in its present condition. As such, the
geotechnical engineer should observe cleared and stripped areas of the site prior to structural
fill placement. In our opinion, areas to receive at least four feel of fill will not require stripping
prior to placement However, areas where no stripping will occur should be mowed as low as
possible prior to placing any fill.

Structural fill is defined as compacted soil placed in foundation, slab-on-grade, and roadway
areas, Fills placed to construct permanent slopes and throughout retaining wall and utility
trench backfill areas are also considered structural fill. Soils placed in structural areas should
be compacted to a relative compaction of ninety percent, in general accordance with the
maximum dry density as determined by the Modified Proctor Method (ASTM 0-1557-02) and
placed in maximum twelve inch lifts. In pavement areas, the upper twelve inches of the
structural fill should be compacted to a relative compaction of at least 95 percent and be in
stable non-yielding condition.
Excavations and Slopes
The Federal and state Occupation Safety and Health Administration (OSHAIWISHA) classifies
soils in terms of minimum safe slope inclinations, Based on the soil conditions encountered
during our fieldwork, the site soils encountered to depths of up to four feet and the relatively
cohesion less sand and gravel deposits observed in test sites TP-3 through TP-5, would be
classified by OSHAIWISHA as Type C, Temporary slopes over four feet in height in Type C
soils should be sloped no steeper than 1.5H:1V (Horizontal:Vertical). The glacial till soils
encountered to depths of greater than four feet across the remainder of the site would generally
be classified by OSHAIWISHA as Type A and B, Temporary slopes over four feet in height in
Type A and Type B soils should be sloped at an inclination no steeper than O.75H:1V and
lH:1V, respectively, If appropriate slopes cannot be achieved, temporary shoring may be
necessary to support the excavations,
Permanent slopes should maintain a gradient of 2H: lV, or flatter, and should be planted with an
appropriate species of vegetation to enhance stability and to minimize erosion.
The geotechnical engineer should observe temporary and permanent slopes to verify that the
inclination is appropriate, and to provide additional grading recommendations, as necessary,
Rockeries and Modular Block Walls
In our opinion, the use of rockeries or modular block walls at this site is feasible from a
geotechnical standpoint Rockeries or modular block walls over four feet in height will require
an engineered design, ESNW can provide engineered rockery and modular block wall designs,
upon request The geotechnical engineer should review the final wall alignments and wall
heights with respect to the proposed site grading,

Utility Trench Backfill
ES-0521
Page 7
In our opinion, the soils observed at the test sites are generally suitable for support of utilities.
Organic or highly compressible soils encountered in the trench excavations should not be used
for supporting utilities. In general, the native soils observed at the test sites should generally be
suitable for use as structural backfill in the utility trench excavations, provided the soil is at or
near the optimum moisture content at the time of placement and compaction. Moisture
conditioning of the soils may be necessary at some locations prior to use as structural fill. Utility
trench backfill should be placed and compacted to the specifications of structural fill provided in
this report, or to the applicable specifications of the City of Renton, as appropriate.
Pavement Sections
The performance of site pavements is largely related to the condition of the underlying
subgrade. To ensure adequate pavement performance, the subgrade should be in a firm and
unyielding condition when subjected to proofrolling with a loaded dump truck. Structural fill in
pavement areas should be compacted to the specifications detailed in the Site Preparation and
Earthwork section of this report. It is possible that soft, wet, or otherwise unsuitable subgrade
areas may still exist after base grading activities. Areas of unsuitable or yielding subgrade will
require remedial measures such as overexcavation and thicker crushed rock or structural fill
sections prior to pavement.
For relatively lightly loaded pavements subjected to automobiles and occasional truck traffic,
the following pavement sections can be considered:
• Two inches of asphalt concrete (AC) placed over four inches of crushed rock base
(CRB), or;
• Two inches of AC placed over three inches of asphalt treated base (ATB).
The AC, ATB and CRB materials should conform to WSDOT specifications.
Heavier truck-traffic areas generally require thicker pavement sections depending on site
usage, pavement life expectancy, and site traffic. ESNW can provide appropriate pavement
section design recommendations for truck traffic areas and right-of-way improvements, as
necessary. Additionally, the city of Renton Road Standards may supersede the
recommendations provided in this report. .

Foundations
ES-0521
Page 8
Residential structures for this site can be supported on conventional spread and continuous
foundations bearing on competent native soils or structural fill, as appropriate. We anticipate
competent native soil suitable for support of foundations will generally be exposed at depths of
between two to four feet. Where loose or unsuitable soil conditions are exposed at foundation
subgrade elevations, compaction of the soiis to the specifications of structural fill, or
overexcavation and replacement with structural fill may be necessary.
Assuming the foundations are supported on competent, undisturbed native soils or suitable
structural fill, the following parameters should be used for foundation design:
• Allowable Soil Bearing Capacity
• Friction
• Passive Resistance
2,500 psf
DAD
350 pcf (equivalent fluid)
For short term wind and seismic loading, a one-third increase in the allowable soil bearing
capacity can be assumed. A factor-of-safety of 1.5 has been applied to the friction and passive
resistance values.
With structural loading as expected, total settlement in the range of one inch is anticipated, with
differential settlement of about one-half inch or less. The majority of the settlements should
occur during construction, as dead loads are applied.
Slab-en-Grade Floors
Slab-an-grade floors for the proposed buildings should be supported on a firm and non-yielding
subgrade consisting of competent native soil or structural fill. Unstable or yielding areas of the
subgrade should be recompacted or overexcavated and replaced with suitable structural fill
prior to construction of the slab. A capillary break consisting of a minimum of four inches of free
draining crushed rock or gravel should be placed below the slab. The free draining material
should have a fines content of five percent or less (percent passing the #200 sieve, based on
the minus three-quarter inch fraction). in areas where slab moisture is undesirable, installation
of a vapor barrier below the slab should be considered.

Retaining Walls
ES-0521
Page 9
If retaining wall will be utilized at this site, they should be designed to resist earth pressures and
any applicable surcharge loads. For design, the following parameters can be assumed for
retaining wall design:
• Active Earth Pressure (Yielding Wall) 35 pef (equivalent fluid)
• At-Rest Earth Pressure (Restrained Wall) 50 pct
• Traffic Surcharge (Passenger Vehicles) 70 psf (rectangular distribution)
• Passive Resistance 350 pcf (equivalent fluid)
• Coefficient of Friction DAD
Additional surcharge loading from foundations, sloped backfill, or other loading should be
included in the retaining wall design, as appropriate. Drainage should be provided behind
retaining walls such that hydrostatic pressures do not develop. If drainage is not provided,
hydrostatic pressures should be included in the wall design, as appropriate. ESNW should
review retaining wall designs to verify that appropriate earth pressure values and drainage have
been incorporated into design, and to provide additional recommendations, as necessary.
Retaining walls should be backfilled with free draining material that extends along the height of
the wall, and a distance of at least eighteen inches behind the wall. The upper one foot of the
wall backfill can consist of a less permeable (surface seal) soil, it desired. A rigid, perforated
drain pipe should be placed along the base of the wall, and connected to an appropriate
discharge location. A typical retaining wall and drainage detail is illustrated on Plate 3 of this
report. Other drainage methods may be considered, and recommended by ESNW, as
appropriate.
Drainage
Groundwater table was observed at depths of between seven and one-half and eight feet below
existing grades in the northern portion of the site, at the time of our fieldwork (July 2006). As
such, localized zones of groundwater seepage could be encountered in the site excavations in
this area, particularly during the wetter winter months. Localized zones of perched seepage
may also be encountered in deeper excavations within the glacial till soil deposits. Temporary
measures to control groundwater seepage and surface water runoff during construction would
likely involve interceptor trenches and sumps, as necessary.
In our opinion, perimeter drains should be installed at or below the invert of building footings. A
typical footing drain detail is provided on Plate 4 of this report.

Seismic Considerations
ES-0521
Page 10
The 2003 International Building Code specifies several soil profiles that are used as a basis for
seismic design of structures, Based on the soil conditions observed at the test sites, Site Class
C, from table 1615.1.1, should be used for design_
In our opinion, liquefaction susceptibility at this site can generally be characterized as low. The
relative density of the site soils and the absence of a uniform, shallow groundwater table is the
primary basis for this designation.
LIMITATIONS
The recommendations and conclusions provided in this geotechnical engineering study are
professional opinions consistent with the level of care and skill that is typical of other members
in the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area. A warranty is not
expressed or implied. Variations in the soil and groundwater conditions observed at the test
sites may exist, and may not become evident until construction. ESNW should reevaluate the
conclusions in this geotechnical engineering study if variations are encountered.
Additional Services
ESNW should have an opportunity to review the final design with respect to the geotechnical
recommendations provided in this report. ESNW should also be retained to provide testing and
consultation services during construction,
