Mr. Satwant Singh
RE: Limited Stormwater & Geologic Hazard Evaluation
Proposed Six Lot Short Plat
13609 156th Avenue SE
Renton, Washington
Dear Mr. Singh,
In accordance with your authorization, Cobalt Geosciences, LLC has prepared this letter to
discuss the results of our limited stormwater and geologic hazard evaluation at the referenced
site.
The proposed development includes six single-family residences, access driveways, and
landscaped areas.
Site and Project Description
The site is located at 13609 – 156th Avenue SE in Renton, Washington (Figure 1). The site consists
of one rectangular parcel (No. 146340-0045) with a total area of approximately 1.3 acres.
The site is developed with a single-family residence and access driveway extending onto the
property from the north and near the east end of the property. There are several outbuildings
within the remainder of the property.
The site slopes gently downward toward the southwest with total topographic relief of about 25
feet. The site is vegetated with grasses, blackberry vines, and local deciduous and evergreen trees.
The site is bordered to the south and west by single-family residences, to the north by SE 2nd Place
and to the east by 156th Avenue SE.
The project consists of subdividing the existing parcel into six building lots. The existing
residence and outbuildings would be removed as part of site development.
Stormwater management will include a stormwater detention vault located in the west portion of
the site.
Area Geology
The Geologic Map of King County, indicates that the site is underlain by Vashon Glacial Till.
Vashon Glacial Till is typically characterized by an unsor ted, non-stratified mixture of clay, silt,
sand, gravel, cobbles and boulders in variable quantities. These materials are typically dense and
relatively impermeable. The poor sorting reflects the mixing of the materials as these sediments
were overridden and incorporated by the glacial ice.

Preliminary Construction Mitigation Plan
For
Cedar Ridge Short Plat
Proposed Construction Dates (begin and end dates):
Based on this preliminary short plat application date, we anticipate construction permits for
utilities and plat infrastructure (roads, sidewalks, etc.) to be finalized later this year (2017) to early
next year (2018). Based on that timeline, we anticipate utility and plat infrastructure construction
to begin in the Spring of 2018 and end during the summer of 2018. Home construction on the lots
should begin during the summer of 2018 and run through at least the winter of 2018 and possibly
longer, depending on lot sales.
Hours and Days of Operation:
Construction activities will be limited to the hours between 7:00am and 8:00pm, Monday through
Friday and 9:00am and 8:00pm Saturday. In addition, haul hours are limited to the hours between
8:30am and 3:30pm on Saturdays, unless approved in writing in advance by the development
services division. No work permitted on Sundays.
Proposed Hauling/Transportation Routes:
The site is accessible from two directions. From the south via 156th Avenue SE / Maple Valley
Highway / I-405 and from the north via 156thAvenue SE / NE 4th Street / I-405.
Measures to be implemented to minimize dust, traffic and transportation impact, erosion,
mud, noise and other noxious characteristics:
Water Truck, Temporary Erosion Control Plan, BMPs, construction proposed during City of
Renton permitted work hours.
Any special hours proposed for construction or hauling (i.e. weekends, late nights):
No special hours for construction or hauling are anticipated or proposed at this time.
Preliminary Traffic Control Plan:
Site is located along SE 2nd Place (classified residential access) at the intersection with 156th
Avenue SE (classified Minor Arterial). Anticipate “construction ahead” warning signs north and
south of the project along 156th Avenue SE and on SE 2nd Place west of the project site. Flaggers
and additional signage will be provided when work is required in either right-of-way. Construction
staging / parking will be limited to on-site and along SE 2nd Place. Site will be accessed from SE
2nd Place.
Final Traffic Control Plan will be provided at the time of Engineering approval.

Matt...
I would like to go in record for the current comment period affixed to Short Plat application
LUA17, 000263, SHPL-A.
My name is...
Jerry Kierig
6301 SE 2nd Place
Renton WA 98059
(425) 271-3016
My property lies adjacent on the west to the application property noted above. I have lived on
this property since 1994. During that time My wife Karen and I have witnessed/ experienced the
change of our property from living on a rural dirt road to now a semi-congested neighborhood
with a wide paved development access route in front of our house. While we are not
objectionable to progress and change and the increase of our property value... it has come with
some inconveniences. Added traffic, noise, and additional water flow problems around and onto
our property from the development of properties uphill from ours.
The application property is mostly higher to ours and a quite significant ground water spring has
soaked the portion of said property directly adjacent to ours because it swails out in back of our
former neighbors home. That flow helps feed our stand of large cedars there which we have no
intention of removing as it adds to the diversity of the neighborhood in contrast to the
development tactic of taking out the native trees. That swail/ flow continues through and around
our property to the west and into the property behind us directly to the west and then spills out
into the 154th st corridor. Evidence of this has been documented.
My professional experience with land development is that addition of hard scape no matter how
well its designed to mitigate storm/ surface water absorption will increase the upper subsurface
& surface accumulation of storm water in historic subsurface ground water flow channels as
water flows in direction of least resistance. The integration of a water flow management system
is far more successful than the old dispersion policy which basically places the water flow
problem on the property owners further down the "historic" storm water flow channel.
After review of preliminary surface water management proposal I would like to go on record as
being in favor of the designed storm water collection system designed by Pacific Engineering
Design. The capture and management of hard scape storm/ surface water accumulation in my
opinion is necessary to alleviate the additional water flow problems which has increased on the
application property over the past 2 decades from over development and lack of surface storm
water management uphill from my property. Water will continue to flow in the direction of the
native flow but at a smaller volume with a collection management system on the application

WATER: Water service is provided by King County Water District 90.
SEWER: The site is in the City of Renton sewer service area. There is an existing 10” PVC sewer running
east to west in SE 2nd Place north of the site. Reference Project File WWP2703148 in COR Maps for
record drawings. There is no existing sewer in 156th Avenue SE east of the site. The existing residences
are served by private on-site septic systems.
STORM DRAINGE: There is no stormwater conveyance system along the project’s 156th Avenue SE
frontage. Runoff along the 156th SE frontage is conveyed south by a shallow ditch. The eastern portion
of the SE 2nd Place frontage has no drainage improvements. Drainage from this frontage sheet flows
southwest off the road into the site. Some drainage is intercepted by a Type 1 Catch Basin (COR Facility
ID 117304) located on the southern frontage of SE 2nd Place across from the driveway to 6304 SE 2nd
Place. Drainage from the western portion of the SE 2nd Place frontage also sheet flows southwest off the
road into the site and 6301 SE 2nd Place. On-site drainage either infiltrates or sheet flows southwest.
STREETS: 156th Avenue SE east of the site is classified as a minor arterial street. The 156th Avenue SE
existing street section consists of a pavement width of approximately 45’ with an 11’ travel lane in the
southbound direction, a 13’ travel lane in the northbound direction, an 11’ left turn lane for northbound
156th Avenue SE traffic, and a 10’ paved shoulder along the western frontage. A 0.5’ curb and a 4.5’
concrete sidewalk exist along the eastern frontage. The existing right of way width for 156th Avenue SE
is approximately 60’ per the King County Assessor’s Map.
SE 2nd Place north of the site is classified as a residential access street. The SE 2nd Place existing street
section consists of a pavement width of approximately 38’ with a 15’ travel lane in the eastbound and
westbound direction and a 4’ paved shoulder along each side of the roadway. There is no existing curb
or sidewalk along either side of the roadway. The existing right of way width for SE 2nd Place is
approximately 60’ per the King County Assessor’s Map.
WATER COMMENTS
1. Water service is provided by King County Water District 90. Please obtain a water availability
certificate from the District and provide it to the City for review with the construction permit
submittal.
EXHIBIT 14
2
2. Review of the water plans will be conducted by King County Water District 90 and the Renton
Regional Fire Authority.
3. Plans approved by King County Water District 90 shall be routed to the City for final review prior to
permit issuance.
SEWER COMMENTS
1. All new side sewers shall be 6”. All new side sewers shall flow by gravity to the main at a minimum
slope of 2%. A grinder pump system internal to each home may be needed for a daylight basement.
Each lot shall have its own side sewer. Sewer cleanouts should not be located in the new driveways.
The preliminary utility plan submitted to the City by Pacific Engineering Design shows an individual
side sewer for each lot connecting to the existing sewer main in SE 2nd Place.
2. The site is served by a private on-site septic system. The septic system(s) shall be abandoned at the
time of demolition of the existing homes in accordance with King County Department of Health
regulations and Renton Municipal Code.
3. Each lot is subject to a system development charge (SDC) for sewer service. The SDC for sewer
service is based on the size of the domestic water service. The 2017 SDC for sewer service with a
3/4" or 1” water meter is $2,540.00. Sewer SDC fees are due at construction permit issuance.
4. Each lot is subject to a Special Assessment District (SAD) fee. The site is located in the Central
Plateau Interceptor SAD. The fee associated with this SAD is $351.95 plus interest per lot. SAD fees
are due at construction permit issuance.
STORM DRAINAGE COMMENTS
1. A preliminary drainage plan and Technical Information Report (TIR) prepared by Pacific Engineering
Design dated May 3, 2017 were submitted to the City as part of the site plan submittal. The site is
located in the City’s Flow Control Duration Standard (Forested Site Conditions). The site is located in
the Lower Cedar River drainage basin. The TIR was completed in accordance with the standards
found in the 2017 Renton Surface Water Design Manual (RSWDM). All nine core and six special
requirements were addressed.
The site’s natural storm drainage discharge location is at the site’s southwest corner. The project is
not proposing to discharge storm drainage at this location. Instead, the project is proposing to
discharge storm drainage into the existing 12” pipe storm drainage system located north of the site
in SE 2nd Place. Thus, the project is not in compliance with Core Requirement #1, Discharge at the
Natural Location. A stormwater adjustment will need to be approved to use the proposed discharge
location.
The natural downstream flow path from the site flows southwest from the site through 278 Toledo
Avenue SE and then south in the Toledo Avenue SE / 154th Avenue SE right of way to the end of the
paved roadway where it is collected by a catch basin approximately 335’ south of 278 Toledo
Avenue SE. From this point, drainage is conveyed south in a shallow open conveyance system south
through the unimproved 154th Avenue SE right of way to the intersection of 154th Avenue SE and SE
142nd Street in unincorporated King County approximately 1,675’ south of 278 Toledo Avenue SE.
From this point, the drainage path continues west in the SE 142nd Street right of way through a
series of swales and unmapped culverts to a point where it discharges to an existing stream near the
3
intersection of 150th Place SE and SE 142nd Street approximately 1330’ west of the intersection of
154th Avenue SE and SE 142nd Street.
The proposed downstream flow path from the site has flows conveyed west from the site in an
existing 12” piped conveyance system to the intersection of SE 2nd Place and Rosario Avenue SE
approximately 875’ west of the site. The flows are then conveyed south through a water quality
bioretention swale that was installed as part of the Highland Estates plat to a discharge point into
an existing stream in King County park property. The discharge point is approximately 390’ south of
the intersection of SE 2nd Place and Rosario Avenue SE. The flows are then conveyed southwest in
the stream through King County park property for approximately 1,200’ to a piped King County
conveyance system in 148th Place SE. Flows are conveyed in the piped system approximately 1,650’
south in 148th Place SE, 149th Place SE, and SE 142nd Street to the discharge point at the existing
stream near the intersection of 150th Place SE and SE 142nd Street mentioned above.
The final TIR needs to include a Level 1 offsite analysis for the proposed downstream drainage path
to satisfy Core Requirement #2, Offsite Analysis. The offsite analysis in the preliminary TIR only
accounts for the natural downstream drainage path.
A detention vault is proposed to meet the flow control requirements to satisfy Core Requirement
#3, Flow Control Facilities. The vault was sized using WWHM 2012. Vault sizing calculations used
forested conditions for the existing conditions input into WWHM for the lot area after right of way
dedication. Sizing calculations used the existing land cover for the existing conditions input into the
WWHM for areas that will be disturbed along the 156th Avenue SE and SE 2nd Place frontages
(including areas that will be dedicated as City right of way). Frontage areas that are disturbed as
part of the project shall be modeled as forested conditions for the existing condition input into the
WWHM model. Frontage areas that will drain to the site’s detention vault and that are not disturbed
by the project may be modeled as their existing condition. Per the preliminary TIR, the vault is
designed in accordance with the City’s Flood Problem Flow Control Standard (King County Level 3).
Revised vault sizing calculations using WWHM should be provided with the construction permit
submittal.
Conveyance calculations were not provided in the preliminary TIR. Conveyance calculations shall be
included in the final TIR to satisfy Core Requirement #4, Conveyance System. The conveyance
calculations should include conveyance analysis of the flow through the existing bioretention swale
water quality facility that was installed as part of Highland Estates and the stream through the King
County park property. The bioretention swale shall continue to function as originally designed.
Per the preliminary TIR, this project is exempt from Core Requirement #8, Water Quality Facilities as
the project is proposing less than 5,000 square feet of new plus replaced pollution generating
impervious surface.
The project is proposing to use basic dispersion and restricted footprint to satisfy Core Requirement
#9, On-Site BMPs. The combination of basic dispersion and restricted footprint provide at mitigation
to at least 10% of the lot area. The TIR notes that full dispersion and full infiltration are infeasible
BMPs due to site constraints and soil types. Limited infiltration is also infeasible due to the soils on
site. Bioretention, rain gardens, and permeable pavement are infeasible as the site does not have
infiltration rates of at least 0.3 inches per hour per the submitted geotechnical report.

2. Prior to submittal for the civil construction permit, the applicant will shall apply and receive a
decision for a storm drainage adjustment to not discharge at the site’s natural discharge location
and divert the site’s stormwater to another drainage basin as shown on the submitted plans. The
drainage adjustment is subject to review by the City Plan Reviewer and the Surface Water Utility
Department.
An adjustment request will only be considered if the vault is designed in accordance with the City’s
Flood Problem Flow Control Standard (King County Level 3) to help mitigate for potential
downstream issues. Thus, in addition to the Flow Control Duration Standard (Forested Site
Conditions), the vault shall be designed to match the 100-year developed peak discharge rate to the
pre-developed (forested) 100-year peak discharge rate. In addition, a Level 1 Downstream Analysis
shall be completed for the downstream drainage path that flows will be diverted to. The
downstream analysis should cover the entire flow path to the point where it rejoins with the natural
flow path approximately 0.75 miles downstream of the site. The preliminary TIR only included a
Level 1 Downstream Analysis for the site’s natural downstream flow path.
The storm drainage adjustment application shall include a narrative describing the adjustment
request and explanation of how the adjustment meets the two criteria for granting adjustments
found in Section 1.4.2 of the 2017 RSWDM. The fee for the storm drainage adjustment is $566.50
($550.00 +3 % technology fee).
3. The preliminary drainage plan shows a piped stormwater conveyance system in the 156
th Avenue SE
and SE 2nd Place flowline that conforms to the City’s street standards. New storm drain shall be
designed and sized in accordance with the standards found in Chapter 4 of the 2017 RSWDM. Storm
drain with a minimum diameter of 12” is required in the public right of way.
4. A geotechnical report evaluating site soil conditions was prepared by Cobalt Geosciences dated
August 22, 2016 and updated April 24, 2017. The report notes that there was no evidence of earth
movements, erosion, or indicator of future instability. Two small-scale pilot infiltration tests were
performed within the property to evaluate infiltration potential of the site on April 21, 2017. The
two areas were excavated to a depth of approximately 3’ below grade. Groundwater seepage was
observed entering the excavations at a depth of approximately 2.5’ below grade. The report
concludes that due to groundwater and the dense glacial till observed at the time, an infiltration
rate of 0.3 inches per hour is not obtainable.
5. Each new lot is subject to a stormwater system development charge. The 2017 SDC for stormwater
is $1,608.00 per lot. A credit for two lots will be issued for the existing homes. Stormwater SDC fees
are due at construction permit issuance.
TRANSPORTATION/STREET COMMENTS
1. Each new lot is subject to a transportation impact fee. The 2017 transportation impact fee is
$5,430.85 per single family home. A credit for two lots will be issued for the existing homes. The
transportation impact fee is due at the time of building permit issuance for each individual home.
2. 156
th Avenue SE is classified as a minor arterial. Per RMC 4-6-060, the minimum right of way width
for a minor arterial with four lanes is 91’. The paved roadway section is 54’ consisting of 4 – 11’
travel lanes and 2 – 5’ bike lanes. A 0.5’ curb, 8’ planter, and 8’ sidewalk are required along each
side of the roadway. The King County Assessor’s Map shows a current right of way width of
5
approximately 60’ for 156th Avenue SE. A right of way dedication of approximately 15.5’ would be
required along the project frontage.
The City’s Transportation Department has established a corridor plan for this section of 156th
Avenue SE. The corridor determined by the City’s Transportation Department requires a right of
way width of 71’. The paved roadway section is 44’ consisting of 2 – 11’ travel lanes, 1 – 12’ center
turn lane, and 2 – 5’ bike lanes. A 0.5’ curb, 8 planter, and 5’ sidewalk are required along each side
of the roadway.
The street section for 156th Avenue SE shown on the preliminary utility plan is consistent with the
corridor plan described above.
3. The applicant submitted a street modification request dated June 1, 2017 with the land use
application. The street modification request is to conform to the City’s adopted corridor plan for the
156th Avenue SE frontage.
City staff is recommending approval of the applicant’s modification request. Please see the Street
Modification Criteria and Analysis for a complete summary of the request, staff analysis, and staff
recommendation.
4. SE 2
nd Place is classified as a residential access street. Per RMC 4-6-060, the minimum right of way
width for a residential access street is 53’. The minimum paved roadway width is 26’ which includes
2 – 10’ travel lanes and 1 – 6’ parking lane. A 0.5’ curb, 8’ planter, and 5’ sidewalk are required
along each side of the roadway. The King County Assessor’s Map shows a current right of way width
of approximately 60’ for SE 2nd Place. No right of way dedication would be required along the SE 2nd
Place frontage.
The street section for SE 2nd Place shown on the preliminary utility plan is consistent with the
residential access street standards described above.
5. Per RMC 4-6-060, a curb return of 35’ is required to meet City standards at the intersection of 156
th
Avenue SE and SE 2nd Place. The preliminary drainage plan shows a curb radius of 25’. This is not to
City standards.
6. Two perpendicular curb ramps per WSDOT standards are required at the corner of 156
th Avenue SE
and SE 2nd Place. Curb ramps shall be aligned to tie into the existing curb ramps on the opposite side
of 156th Avenue SE and SE 2nd Place.
7. Per RMC 4-4-080, the maximum width of a single loaded garage driveway is 9’ and the maximum
width of a double loaded garage driveway is 16’. If a garage is not present, the maximum driveway
width is 16’. Driveways shall not be closer than 5’ to any property line. Maximum slopes for
driveways shall not exceed 15% provided that driveways exceeding 8% provide slotted drains at the
lower end with positive drainage discharge to restrict runoff from entering the garage.
8. Per RMC 4-6-060, street lighting is required as the project is larger than four residential units. A
photometric study and street lighting plan per City standards shall be submitted with the
