I have reviewed the application for the Moorman Short Plat at 2004 Shattuck Avenue South (APN(‘s)
7222000382) and have the following comments:
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site is approximately 0.52 acres in size and is triangular in shape. The site is currently developed with
a single family residence and associated detached accessory structures.
Water Water service is provided by City of Renton The site is in the Talbot Hill service area in the 300
hydraulic pressure zone. There is an existing 8-inch City water main located in Shattuck Avenue
South (see Water plan no. W-1132) that can deliver a maximum total flow capacity of
gallons per minute (gpm). The approximate static water pressure is 65 psi at the elevation of
150 feet. The site is located outside of an Aquifer Protection Area.
Sewer Wastewater service is provided by the City of Renton There is an existing 8-inch concrete
wastewater main located in Shattuck Avenue South (see City plan no. S-0022).
Storm There are stormwater mains located in Shattuck Avenue South. Runoff from the existing site
includes one single family residence where no stormwater infrastructure currently exists on-
site. Runoff from the site sheet flows east to west across the site and into a ditch and catch
basin at the northwest corner of the site.
Streets Shattuck Avenue South is a Residential Street with an existing right of way (ROW) width of 40-
feet as measured using the King County Assessor’s Map. No frontage improvements currently
existing along the property frontages.

SURFACE WATER
1. A geotechnical report, dated May 23, 2017, completed by GEO Group Northwest, Inc., for the site
has been provided. The submitted report describes the site is a Low Erosion Hazard area. Erosion
control measures will need to be in place prior to starting grading activities on the site. The report
discusses the soil and groundwater characteristics of the site including infiltration potential and
provide recommendations for project design and construction. A Geotechnical Addendum
Report, dated August 8, 2017, completed by Geo Group Northwest, Inc., provided results of
infiltration testing on the site in order to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing On-Site Infiltration
BMPs. Based upon the results of the testing, the recommended design infiltration rate is 0.66
inches/hour, which exceeds the minimum recommended percolation rate for the use of Low
Impact Design (LID) On-Site BMPs such as Bioretention and Permeable Pavements. Geotechnical
recommendations presented need to be address within the project plans.

2. A Preliminary Drainage Plan and Technical Information Report (TIR), dated July 19, 2017, was
submitted by CPH Consultants with the Land Use Application. Based on the City of Renton’s flow
control map, the site falls within the Flow Control Duration Standard area matching Forested Site
Conditions and is within the Black River Drainage Basin. The development is subject to Full

Information Report.
3. The development is required to provide On-Site Best Management Practices (BMPs) to help
mitigate the new runoff created by this development.
a. The soils classification presented in the geotechnical report classified the soils as silty
sandy loams and provided infiltration testing results indicating the soils have the
potential ability to infiltrate at a measured rate of up to 16 inches per hour. Applicant
shall explore the feasibility of limited infiltration, permeable pavements and
bioretention as potential On-Site BMPs for the proposed residences. The proposed On-
Site BMPs shall be designed and submitted with the Civil Construction Permit
Application and may be installed with the individual building permits for each proposed
parcel.
4. The development is required to provide flow control and basic water quality treatment prior to
discharge into the public conveyance system. The project proposes a detention vault beneath the
shared driveway tract and water quality treatment will consist of conveyance to a Stormfilter with
ZPG Media Filtration system prior to connection to the proposed detention vault.

d. For treatment upstream of detention, the water quality design rate is the peak 15-
minute flow rate. Applicant will be required to demonstrate compliance with Core
Requirement #8 as part of the Civil Construction Permit review.
5. There are no potential downstream flooding or erosion issues identified in the TIR.
a. The development shall not create protected slopes as defined by RMC 4-3-050.
