No water system development charges are applicable at this time as the project is not proposing to add a new water service or increase the size of the existing meter. SEWER COMMENTS 1. Any of the existing side sewers along Lind Ave SW. can be reused to serve the renovated building. 2. No sewer system development charges are applicable at this time as the project is not proposing to add a new water service or increase the size of the existing water meter. STORM DRAINAGE COMMENTS 1. The project is not proposing to add or replace any impervious surface. At this time drainage review is not required. 2. Stormwater system development charges are not applicable at this time as the project will not produce any new impervious surface. TRANSPORTATION/STREET COMMENTS 1. Transportation trips reduced therefore no transportation impact fee is required 2. Per RMC 4-6-060, no street frontage improvements or street lighting are required for interior remodels that do not involve a building addition 3. A Trip Generation Letter prepared by Transportation Engineering Northwest dated December 7, 2017 was submitted to the City as part of the site plan submittal. The letter states that the existing use of the building is 88,286 square feet of warehouse for Baden Sports Company. The remaining 29,890 SF of warehouse space will be occupied by the Kraken Volleyball club. The 29,890 square feet of warehouse will be converted into an Athletic Club . Per the letter, the existing warehouse space is classified as ITE Land Use 150 (Warehousing) and it will be converted to recreational space that is generally consistent with ITE Land Use 493 (Athletic Club). Trip generation calculations were completed for the Kraken Volleyball Club. The trip generation calculations were done with trip generation data from the ITE Trip Generation Manual. The most similar land use Category in the ITE manual is ITE land use code 493 (Athletic Club). The calculations conclude that the new Athletic club use will generate -5 additional weekday trips in the AM peak hours (6:00 – 9:00) and -6 additional weekday trips in PM peak hours (3:00 – 6:00). The City requires a Traffic Impact Analysis if new vehicular traffic exceeding 20 vehicles per hour in either the AM or PM peak hours is generated by a development. As this project does not meet that threshold, no further review is needed. City staff is in agreement with the findings of this memo and will not require any further studies. GENERAL COMMENTS 1. The fees listed are for 2018. The fees that are current at the time of the respective permit issuance will be levied. Please see the City of Renton website for the current development fee schedule. 2. All new utility lines (i.e. electrical, phone, and cable services, etc.) within the site must be underground. The construction of these franchise utilities must be inspected and approved by a City of Renton inspector. 3. Retaining walls that are 4’ or taller from bottom of footing and stormwater detention vaults will require a separate building permit. Structural calculations and plans prepared by a licensed engineer will be required as part of the building permit review. 4. All civil plans shall conform to the current City of Renton survey and drafting standards. Current drafting standards can be found on the City of Renton website. 5. A separate plan submittal will be required for a construction permit for utility work and street improvements. All plans shall be prepared by a licensed Civil Engineer in the State of Washington. 6. Please see the City of Renton Development Engineering website for the Construction Permit Application and Construction Permit Process and Submittal Requirements. Please contact the City to schedule a construction permit intake meeting. 7. All plan review for the City is now paperless. Please see http://rentonwa.gov/paperless/ for more information.
