Good Morning,
Thank you all for taking the time to meet yesterday. I think that the meeting we had
was productive and hopefully provided clarification of the outstanding items that
needed to be addressed before the short plat review could move forward. I have put
together a summary of outstanding comments that need to be addressed, please see
the comments below:
Fire Comments:
1. A cul-de-sac turnaround is the code requirement to provide emergency access
to the proposed short plat. The Fire Department would consider granting a
variance to this requirement, provided a hammerhead turnaround is provided at
the intersection of Pasco Pl NE and NE 8th Street and all individual homes
within the short plat are equipped with fire sprinkler systems.
Engineering Comments:
1. The project site drains to both the Lower Cedar River and May Creek basins. To
comply with Core Requirement #1 of the City of Renton Surface Water Design
Manual (RSWDM), the applicant would need to demonstrate that runoff will be
mitigated for within each drainage basin as per the project site’s topography.
2.Infiltration tests for the project site prepared by a licensed civil/geotechnical
engineer needs to be provided for both Basins, which will be used to evaluate if
the site is suitable or unsuitable for infiltration per 2022 RSWDM.
3.The downstream analysis only discusses the Cedar River/Lake Washington
watershed however, it needs to assess both separate drainage basins (Lower
Cedar River and May Creek) within the watershed.
4.The TIR would need to be revised to include a discussion on how the proposed
pump design complies with the durational flows for “matching forested site
condition” as specified in Core Requirement #3.
5.The setback to tract lines for vaults is 5-feet per Section 5.1.3.1 of the 2022
RSWDM. The northwest corner of the vault is shown crossing a tract line (into
the shared driveway tract), this encroachment would need to be removed and
the facility would need to demonstrate compliance with the required 5-foot
setback requirement.
6.Lot impervious surface coverage is calculated individually for each lot. Per
Section 1.1.2.1 of the 2022 RSWDM, the minimum impervious surface coverage
for a residential subdivision shall be assumed as 4,000 SF or the maximum
allowed per RMC 4-2-110A, whichever is less. The modeling within the TIR
would need to be updated to comply with this requirement.
7.After confirming with Nate Janders and Section 1.2.3.1.B of Minimum Required
performance in 2022 RSWDM, the replaced impervious surface (down to base
course or bare soil) within the NE 8th Street that is not fully dispersed as
specified in Appendix C is considered as target surfaces, and shall use forested
condition as existing to size the detention facility.
8.The civil construction plan set and TIR need to be revised to match the updated
site plan with hammerhead turnaround required by Fire Authority.
We look forward to receiving the updated short plat submittal items so that review of
your short plat can continue.
