File No, LUA10-018, MOD
Dear Mr. Peckham:
This letter is sent in response to your March 12th request (attached) for modifications from the City's
Refuse and Recyclables regulations (RMC 4-4-090).
Summary of Request
The applicant proposes the construction of two new recycle/waste facilities along with associated
landscaping and the removal of parking spaces. The subject property, Renton Housing Authority's
Evergreen Terrace, is located on NE 151h St between NE Sunset Blvd and Kirkland Ave NE. The project
site totals. 2.85 acres in area and is zoned Center Village (CV). The first refuse and recycle station would
be located within the landscape island in the center of the site. The second station is proposed to be
located on the southwestern portion of the site within the front yard setback from NE 15`h Street. The
proposed stations would. include a pully system, a green roof shelter and screening in the form. of a -
fence/gate. Two administrative modifications, from the City's refuse and recycle standards; are needed
in order to encroach within the front.yard setback and within the front yard landscaping. A third
modification is needed i.n order to. reduce the screening height requirement from b to 5 feet..
Section .4-4-090.F allows the Administrator to grant modifications from the refuse and recyclable
standards for individual cases, provided the modification meets the following criteria (pursuant to RMC
4-9-250.D.2):
a. Will meet,the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection
and maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering
judgment; and
b. Will not be injurious to other property(ies) in the vicinity; and
C. Conform to the intent and purpose of the Code; and
d. Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and
e. Will not create adverse impacts to other property(ies) in the vicinity; and
�crirr rt7U nd -
The applicant, Bumgardner, has requested two modifications from the City's Refuse and Recycle
standards (RMC 4-4-090C.2) in order to construct two refuse and recycle areas within the front yard
Renton City Hall • 1055 South. Grady Way • Renton, Washington 96057. • rentonwa_gov
1
setback andthe required landscaping along the street frontage (Modifications #1 and #2). The
Evergreen Terrace, a 50 -unit affordable housing community, was originally constructed in 1967. At a
later date a fenced waste collection station was added encroaching into the front yard setbacks; the
location was based on the only space available on site.. The Renton Housing Authority has found that
the single waste collection location is not adequate to meet the community's needs in terms of
accessibility, location, size and pedestrian safety. Therefore the applicant is proposing the construction
of two new handicap accessible recycle/waste facilities consisting of refuse, recycle and compost
enclosures. Station 1 would be located at the community crossroads in a landscaped island and Station
2 would be located near the community commons building. The stations would have a rear approach
for resident access, which includes a pully system. The enclosures would be screened through the use of
a sliding decorative metal doors, concrete walls, and landscaping. A third modification from the City's
Refuse and Recycle Standards (RMC 4-4-090C.8) has been requested. in order to reduce the height of the
screening enclosure from 6 to 5 feet (Modification 43). In addition, the facilities would be sheltered
with a canopy structure with green roof above. An added walkway, along with a public open space and
bench seating is also proposed next to Station #1.
Analysis
a) Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and
maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment.
Modification (Station) #1 and #2:
The applicant contends that the proposed locations for the refuse and recycle stations were
selected as community gathering points. The applicant has proposed signage used to
educate/encourage residents to compost and recycle in addition to the use of a green roof
which is a sustainable practice. The facilities would be located close to the street curbs to meet
the needs of both the Renton Housing Authority and Waste Management. The applicant has
proposed to use high quality decorative screening materials which include metal doors, concrete
walls and landscaping.
Staff concurs the requested modification conforms to the intent and purpose of the refuse and
recyclable standards by providing facilities that are interactive, environmentally sensitive and
safe for residents. In addition, the facilities would be constructed with quality materials that
contribute to the character of the housing community. However, a detailed landscaping plan
was not submitted with the modification request. Staff will be requiring, as a condition of
modification approval, the applicant provide a detailed landscape plan to the Current Planning
Project Manager prior to building permit approval.
Modification #3:
The applicant contends that the proposed collection facilities were designed to be an integral
part of the community which encourages residents to recycle and compost thereby minimizing
the items thrown into the garbage. In addition the intent for the stations are to be a gathering
place for residents which is why the facilities were designed to be as open as possible: By
intention the facilities are proposed to be located in high-volume pedestrian areas in order to
function more like the attractive recycle bins located on downtown sidewalks as opposed to
neighborhood facilities that are not very aesthetically pleasing and therefore need to be
screened by tall fencing.
Staff concurs the requested modification conforms to the intent and purpose of the refuse and
recyclable standards by providing exceptionally designed refuse and recycle areas that require
less screening.
b) Will not be injurious to other property(les) in the vicinity.
Modification (Station) #1 and #2:
The applicant contends that the waste handling of the site would be improved due to the
location close to the street curbs. The service and access for the deposit area is anticipated to
be more than adequate for the housing community. Staff concurs, the refuse and recyclable
deposit areas would provide adequate space to handle the needs for the existing community
and are sited in a way that would create a community gathering place. It is not anticipated that
the approval of a modification to permit Station #1 within the front yard setback and required
landscaping, would be injurious to other properties in the vicinity.
Modification #3
See discussion under criterion "a)" above.
C) Conform to the intent and purpose of the Code.
See discussion under criterion "a)" above.
d) Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended.
Modification (Station) #1 and #2:
The refuse and recyclable standards (RMC 4-4-0900.2) prohibit refuse and recycle areas within
the front yard setback the required landscaping along the street frontage. The applicant
contends and staff concurs that based upon the proposed site plan it is anticipated that the
encroachment of the refuse and recycle deposit areas into the front yard setback and required
landscaping is considered to be reasonable for the situation intended.
Modification 93
The refuse and recyclable standards (RMC 4-4-0900.8) require screening for refuse and recycle
areas to have a height of 6 feet. The applicant contends and staff concurs that based upon the
proposal a 5 -foot screening enclosure is considered to be reasonable for the situation intended
due to the exceptional design of the canopy structure.
Decision
The refuse and recyclable deposit modifications for Evergreen Terrace are hereby approved and subject
to the following condition:
The applicant shall provide a detailed landscape plan to the Current Planning Project
Manager prior to building permit approval.
Appeal Process: Appeals of this administrative decision must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 p.m.
April 26, 2010. Appeals must be filed in writing, together with the required $75.00 application fee, with:
Hearing Examiner, City of Renton, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057. Appeals to the Examiner
are governed by City of Renton Municipal Code Section 4-8-110.13. Additional information regarding the
appeal process may be obtained from the Renton City Clerk's Office, (425) 430-6510.

Evergreen Terrace — Recycle/Waste Stations
Re: Meeting the Design District "D" Checklist in RMC 4-3-100 ---
Urban Design Regulations
Ms. Timmons,
BUMGA DNER
ARCHITECTURE • INTERIORS • PLANNING
On January 27, 2010, the Planning Division, Renton Housing Authority and
Bumgardner met to review the Pre -Application requirements for the development
of new recycle/waste facilities at Renton Housing Authority's Evergreen Terrace
affordable housing complex located at 3027 NE 15th Street, Renton, WA
98056.
In response to the requirements set forth at the Pre -App meeting, please see the
following descriptions of our proposal in following the District "D" Checklist.
Checklist "D" Item 5. Service Element Location and Design
Intent: To reduce the potential negative impacts of service elements
(i.e., waste receptacles, loading docks) by locating service and loading
areas away from high-volume pedestrian areas, and screening them
from view in high visibility areas.
Pmposed Design
The locations for the recycle/waste stations were selected to be
community gathering points, interactive, environmentally sensitive, safe
for residents, and close to street curbs to meet the needs of both RHA
and Waste Management (City recycle/waste hauler).
Unlike most 'standard' garbage collection areas that become on
eyesore in the neighborhood and therefore ore best hidden at the back
of the lot behind a to// fence, Bumgardner designed these handicap
accessible recycle/waste stations to be an integral port of the
community. By intention, they need to be located in high-volume
pedestrian areas to function best — much like attractive recycle bins are
located on downtown sidewalks: Station 1 is located at the community
crossroads in a landscaped island; Station 2 is located near the
community commons building.,
A%Nashinglnn [;or ,-.ration
Renton: Recycle/Waste Staiw15s - District D Guidelines, March 5, 2010
Page 2of4
The stations will be a place for interaction and education for the
residents and as such, the stations to be as open as possible. The
stations will be constructed with 5" fall decorative sliding metal doors
screening the enclosure from the street, concrete walls and landscaping
screening the sides, and a rear -approach resident access area that will
have landscaping screening ,behind plus have a green roof canopy
above.
Checklist "D" Item C. Pedestrian Environment
Intent: To enhance the urban character of development in the Urban
Center and the Center Village by creating pedestrian networks and by
providing strong links from streets and drives to building entrances;
make the pedestrian environment safer and more convenient,
comfortable, and pleasant to walk between businesses, on sidewalks, to
and from access points, and through parking lots; and promote the use
of multi -modal and public transportation systems in order to reduce
other vehicular traffic.
Proposed Design
While the existing sidewalks were established on the site long ago,
accessible ramps will he added at sidewalks throughout the site to
make the site more fully accessible, safer, and more comfortable for
pedestrians.
In addition, next to the proposed location for Station 1, the
development proposes an added walkway to further increase pedestrian
connections on the site, along with a public open space with bench
seating to encourage residents to visit with one another in a landscaped
outdoor setting.
This residential community has a high percentage of accessible needs
residents, and currently provides parking with (3) accessible stalls. The
proposed design would add a net of (1) new stall, and rearrange
parking to result in (5) total accessible stalls, thus better serving the
community. It should also be noted that Metro Bus Routes 105 and
909 are located 1/2 block away on KirklandA venue NE, and provide
service to downtown Renton.
Renton: Recycle/Waste Stat�f5s — District D Guidelines, March 5, 201 go
Page 3 of 4
Checklist "D" Item 3. Pedestrian Amenities:
Intent: To create attractive spaces that unify the building and street
environments and are inviting and comfortable for pedestrians; and
provide publicly accessible areas that function for a variety of activities,
at all times of the year, and under typical seasonal weather conditions.
Proposed Design
The design focuses on making the stations visible — locating both near
the community's gathering space and providing landscaped and well -
lighted paths that will lead residents to the recycle/waste stations. The
new pathways also will also enhance and further connect the
neighborhood.
A prominent, green -roofed shelter will protect from the sun and the
rain. The shelter proposes signage quoting fun facts to inform the
tenants of the power they have to recycle and compost their post -
consumptive waste.
The station will implement a pulley system thus allowing children, those
with limited physical means, and everyone in between to discard waste
in a smart, easy, and accessible way. The pulleys will allow the bin lids
to open with minimal user effort, and will also facilitate the lids to
remain open via a latching mechanism.
Improvements are also proposed to the community's sidewalks and at
the island near Station 1 as previously noted.
Checklist "D" Item D. Landscaping/Recreation Areas/Common Open Space
Intent: To provide visual relief in areas of expansive paving or
structures; define logical areas of pedestrian and vehicular circulation;
and add to the aesthetic enjoyment of the area by the community. To
have areas suitable for both passive and active recreation by residents,
workers, and visitors; provide these areas in sufficient amounts and in
safe and convenient locations; and provide the opportunity for
community gathering in places centrally located and designed to
encourage such activity.
Proposed Design
Both recycle/waste stations will incorporate landscaping around the
station that will enhance the site for the benefit of all residents. An
outdoor gathering space will be created on the island near Station 1,
which will provide a much desired location for residents to connect with
one another:
Renton: Recycle/Waste Statins - District D Guidelines, March 5, 2010
Page 4 of 4
The proposed recycle/waste station design is intended to encourage
community interaction and visibility. The screening will be a
combination offence/gate and landscaping. New plantings will
integrate with and enhance existing street trees and plantings. The
shelters propose self-sustaining green roofs that would change with the
seasons.
Please contact us with any questions or comments.

On January 27, 2010, the Planning Division, Renton Housing Authority and
Bumgardner met to review the Pre -Application requirements for the development
of new recycle/waste facilities at Renton Housing Authority's Evergreen Terrace
affordable housing complex located at 3027 NE 15th Street, Renton, WA
98056.
In response to the requirements set forth at the Pre -App meeting, please see the
following Modifications requested.
Modification 1:
Encroachment of Recycle/Waste Stations into 10 -foot Required Front Yard
Setbacks
Modification 2:
Encroachment of Recycle/Waste Stations into Required Landscaping Area
Code Section 4-4-090 C.2
Location in Setback or Landscape Areas Prohibited: Outdoor refuse
and recyclables deposit areas and collection points shall not be located
in any required setback or landscape areas.
Proposed Modificafions 7 & 2
Evergreen Terrace, a 50 -unit affordable housing community built in 7967, was
originally planned with street -only parking. At some later date, (3) accessible
parking stalls and (1) fenced waste collection station were added into existing
front yard setbacks, their locations based on the only space available on site.
The single waste collection area has served the community ever since, although
the Renton Housing Authority (RHA) now recognizes that the single location is not
adequate to meet the community's needs in terms of accessibility, location, size,
and pedestrian safety.
Renton: Recycle/Waste Stns - Modifications, March 5, 2010
Page 2 of 3
The locations for the recycle/waste stations were selected to be community
gathering points, interactive, environmentally sensifive, safe for residents, and
close to street curbs to meet the needs of both RHA and Waste Management t ty
recycle/waste hauled. The design team determined that the only available
locations that met these requirements were in required front yard setbacks or
landscaped areas. Moving them out of required front yard setbacks would have
the negative effect of paving over an additiona1200 SF of land at each station
which could otherwise be planting areas.
Station I is located at the community crossroads in a landscaped island; Station
2 is located near the community commons building. Recycling the old notion that
waste stations were ugly eyesores that should be hidden away, Bumgardner has
designed these recycle/waste stations to be an integral part of the community, so
their prominent location is both desirable as a community asset and is efficient
with land use.
Landscaping will be provided around each of these stations for both visual
screening and aesthetic purposes, which will include an outdoor gathering space
next to Station 1. The specifics of the proposed landscaping will be shown on the
conceptual landscape plan to be submitted with the building permit application.
Modification I Fence at Waste/Recycle Station
Code Section 4-4-090 C.8
Screening of Deposit Areas: Garbage dumpsters, refuse compactor
areas, and recycling collection areas must be fenced or screened. A six
foot (6) wall or fence shall enclose any outdoor refuse or recyclables
deposit area.
Proposed Modification
Unlike most 'standard'garbage collection areas that become an eyesore in the
neighborhood and therefore are best hidden behind a tall fence, Bumgardner
designed these handicap accessible recycle/waste stations to be an integral part
of the community - much like attractive recycle bins are located on downtown
sidewalks -- encouraging residents to recycle and compost first, and minimize
items thrown into garbage. The intent is for the stations to be a place for
interaction with residents and as such, the stations to be as open as possible.
The stations will be constructed with 5' tall sliding decorative metal doors
screening the enclosure from the street, concrete walls and landscaping screening
the sides, and a rear -approach resident access area that will have landscaping
screening behind plus have a green roof canopy above.
