Modification Request
Ms. Fowler,
This letter is written in request of a modification to the required right-of-way dedication along Lake
Washington BLVD N. for the Senza Lakeview project. Per Renton Municipal Code (RCM) 4-9-250D our
request meets each of the six decision criteria as outlined below.
a. Substantially implements the policy direction of the policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Element and the Community Design Element and the proposed modification is the minimum
adjustment necessary to implement these policies and objectives;
Response: The modification implements the policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Element and Community Design Element. To meet the City of Renton street standards for collector arterial
streets, the minimum ROW width would be 83 feet requiring 11.5 feet of ROW dedication. As stated in
the Hearing Examiners Report dated June 14, 2016 the City of Renton established street section for Lake
Washington BLVD N. includes a pavement width of 36 feet, 8 foot planting strip, 8 foot sidewalks, and 0.5
foot curb resulting in a ROW dedication of 4.5 feet. The request is to reduce the ROW dedication to from
11.5 to 4.5 feet. Street frontage improvements are required to be installed by the developer.
b. Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and
maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment;
Response: The proposed street section stated above meets requirements set forth of by the City of Renton
Hearing Examiner. All City of Renton construction requirements will be followed.

Response: The street modification request conforms to the intent and purpose of the code.
e. Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and
Response: The street modification request is required in order to meet street frontage improvement
requirements along Lake Washington BLVD N. and is consistent with the area.
f. Will not create adverse impacts to other property(ies) in the vicinity. (Ord. 4517, 5-8-1995; Ord.
