LUA12-010, SA -A, ECF) Dear Mr. Peckham, am in receipt of your correspondence and attachments dated February 13, 2012 wherein you request revisions to the approved Site Plan for the RHA Glennwood Townhomes. The subject site is located on Glennwood Ave NE just south of NE 12th St. The requested revisions are summarized below: 1) Replace approved recycle/waste station with screened enclosures for each unit; and 2) Add potential storage space in small enclosure attached to each unit adjacent to proposed refuse and recycle storage area. Renton Municipal Code Section 4-9-2001, allows minor adjustments to an approved site plan, provided: 1. The adjustment does not involve more than a ten percent (10%) increase in area or scale of the development in the approved site plan; or 2. The adjustment does not have a significantly greater impact on the environment and. facilities than the approved plan; or 3. The adjustment does not change the boundaries of the originally approved plan. Analysis of Request The site plan modification requested and as shown in the applicants February 13, 2012 submittals have been compared to the site plan as approved by the Planning Director on August 2, 2011. The original proposal included a 134 square foot area to be dedicated to refuse and recyclables on the eastern portion of the site. The proposed refuse and recycle station would have been constructed of concrete walls with metal doors and included a sloped roof for weather protection. The applicant is proposing to the replace the storage structure with separate attached enclosures in the rear yard of each individual unit. The proposed enclosures would have roofs Renton City Hail • 1055 South Grady Way • Renton, Washington 98057 9 rentonwa.gov March 21, 2012 Page 2 and siding that would match the primary townhome structure. The applicant is proposing the collection point continue to be located in the rear yard. The following is the proposed areas for each individual unit: Unit Areas (sf) Recycle / Storage Waste Total 001 9.4 13.8 23.2 002 23.3 18.5 41.8 003 30.3 18.5 48.8 004 23.3 18.5 41.8 005 23.3 18.5 41.8 006 30.3 18.5 48.8 007 30.3 18.5 48.8 008 23.3 18.5 41.8 Total 193.5 143.3 336.8 The proposed structures would not be seen from the street and would also serve to provide privacy for each individual unit within the development from neighboring units. -- , The proposed changes would -not res-ult in more -than -a-10 percent increase in--area--or--scale-of the development. The proposal would not have a greater impact on the environment and facilities, nor would it change the boundaries of the originally approved site plan. All other applicable setback, development and design standards would continue to be achieved. Decision Based on staff's analysis, 1 have determined the proposed revisions are within the parameters defined by the Renton Municipal Code. Therefore, the proposed modifications to the site plan are approved subject to the following conditions: 1. Prior to the issuance of the temporary occupancy permit for the RHA Glennwood Townhomes, 3 full size copies and a 8 % x 11 inch high contrast reduction of a final site plan, approved landscape plan, building elevations, shall be submitted to the Current Planning Project Manager. 2. The applicant is advised that all code requirements and conditions of the site plan approval are still applicable to the development of the site. The applicant should also understand that Environmental SEPA Review and Site Plan Review may be required for future modifications to the site plan. This determination will :be final unless a written appeal of this administrative determination — accompanied by the required $250.00 filing fee -- is filed with the City's Hearing Examiner within 14 days of the date of this decision.

This will facilitate the Renton Housing Authority's goal to promote self-sufficiency and responsibility in the tenants and to stop illegal dumping. We have provided a narrative and sketches to show how the site plan criteria would be met — or would not be impacted — by the revisions. Site Plan Criteria A. Compliance and Consistencx Conformance with plans, policies, regulations and approvals. Current practice in Renton townhouse developments is for each tenant to handle their recycle and waste storage on an individual basis: each tenant would store recycle/waste bins at their unit and take them to the street curb on collection day. This ensures personal responsibility and helps prevent illegal dumping. Our modification request is consistent with this practice, along with associated regulations and approvals. By creating a collechon area to the rear of the site, we will also avoid the visual clutter associated with bins filling the curb edge on collection day. B. Cuff -Site Impacts Mitigation of impacts to surrounding properties and uses. Impacts to surrounding properties will be next -to -none. Our project will provide a 6' high, solid, cedar plank fence along the north and south propend lines. In addition, the recycle/waste storage will occur in screened enclosures located at A lvashingion Corporation RHA — Glennwood Town horn es/Mod ifications, February 9, 2012 Page 2of3 the rear yards of the units. These enclosures will have roofs and siding to make them blend in with the building design. The collection point will be located in the rear yard, thus keeping the building frontage free of the weekly visual clutter of recycle/waste bins. C. On -Site impacts Mitigation of impacts to the site. Recycle/waste/storage enclosures will be added to the rear side of each unit, keeping them out of view from the street. They will be right outside the dining area sliding glass door and will serve to provide visual privacy between tenants, replacing a screened panel previously permitted A paved walking path will be provided from the enclosure to the collection area (also in the rear yard) to prevent unsightly tracks across yard areas. To prevent light pollution, no additional exterior lighting will be added. D. Access and Circulation Safe and efficient access and circulation for all users. A non -slip paved walking path will be added to provide a continuous, safe route from each tenant's unit to the collection area. In tum, the collection area will provide an efficient way for Waste Management to pick-up recycle and waste items each week. E. Open Space Incorporation of public and private open spaces to serve as distinctive project focal points and to provide adequate areas for passive and active recreation by the occupants/users of the site. The current plan for common open space will not be diminished in adding the recycle/waste/storage enclosures. F. Views and Public Access Provision of view corridors to shorelines and Mt. Rainier, incorporates public access to shorelines, and arranges project elements to protect existing natural systems where applicable. The addition of the enclosures will not impact any potential views from this site. RHA Glennwood Town homes/Mod ifications, February 9, 2012 Page 3of3 G. Services and Infrastructure Availability of public services and facilities to accommodate the proposed use. Does not apply to this site. H. Signage Use of signs primarily for the purpose of identification and management of sign elements — such as the number, size, brightness, lighting intensity, and location — to complement the visual character of the surrounding area, avoid visual clutter and distraction, and appear in proportion to the building and site to which they pertain. No signage will he added as part of this proposal. 1. Phasing Inclusion of a detailed sequencing plan with development phases and estimated time frames, if applicable. Does not apply: all work completed with the rest of site development. Please contact us with any questions or comments.
