City of Renton
Re: Greenwood heating Project at 1703 NE 43rd PI
During our earlier discussions with the city of Renton we requested to have less parking (16 spaces) than
the formula calculated (21).
Below are our answers to the questions from Section 6 of the Modification request document.
16 spaces is all that is needed for our staff and clients. Although the square footage of our office
is large we are giving each employee ample square footage and large lounge areas to stretch
out. Adding more spaces would also require adding more impervious surfaces which is not good
for the environment. Additional impervious surfaces would also trigger a drainage review which
would cause us to incur a huge financial burden which would put the costs of the project out of
balance with the intended use and with the overall remodel of the space.
b. By keeping the spaces down our egress will improve as it keeps the center area opened allowing
better access to the driveway. It will also improve the environmental and appearance by adding
more landscaping and less impervious surfaces.
c. Neighboring properties will have no impact as our parking will suffice for our use and will
accommodate our staff and clients.
d. Our plan conforms to the purpose of the code by providing adequate parking for our staff and
clients as well as improving the area appearance by adding landscaping.
e. The parking spaces must be around the perimeter of the area to provide egress and keep the
driveway open as well as allow for access to the roll up door for deliveries.
f. There will be no impacts of an adverse nature to other properties.
Sincerely,
Michael Porter
