Cline Shoreline Repair
The proposed project is to re-anchor three existing logs with manta ray soil anchors and
braded steel cables and place 10 cubic yards of beach gravel mix landward of one of the
logs. The property is located at 4267 Williams Avenue North in Renton Washington. A
shoreline exemption is required from the City of Renton. The project site is zoned as
Residential 10du/ac (R-10). Adjacent properties are zoned as Residential 10du/ac (R-10)
and Commercial Office/Residential (COR). The project site is on the shoreline of Lake
Washington and is approximately 0.2 miles from May Creek. Sherry and Robert Cline
are the owners of the property. The property is a single family residential lot with an
existing single family house. The existing shoreline consists of beach and anchored longs
approximately two feet in diameter. The tide downs securing the logs have come loose
on one of the logs and loosening on the other two logs. The logs will be re-anchored with
manta ray soil anchors and braded steel cables. The condition of the one log that has
come loose is questionable and it may be replaced if it is not able to be securely re-
anchored or it comes loose and floats away. Ten cubic yards of beach gravel will be
placed landward of the log that has broken loose. The purpose of adding the beach gravel
is to restore the beach area to its original condition. Some of the beach gravel landward
of the log has washed away due to no longer being protected by the log. The existing soil
type is norma sandy loam. The work will be done during the in water work window
opening between July 16th and December 31st. A floating silt curtain will be placed
around the work area to contain turbidity to the work area. The estimated fair market
value of the project is $4,000. The work is exempt from the requirement of a shoreline
substantial development permit because it is repair of an existing structure in like kind
(WAC 173-27-040). The work will take place during the summer or fall of 2017.
Authorization from the Army Corps of Engineers and the Washington Department of
Fish and Wildlife is required for the project.
