PART TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those project
impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations.
A. Environmental Threshold Recommendation
Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials:
Issue a DNS with a 14-day Appeal Period.
B. Mitigation Measures
None recommended.

D. Environmental Impacts
The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the
applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction
with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following
probable impacts:
1. Earth:
Impacts: Sensitive and Protected slopes are mapped on the project site. The applicant submitted a
Geotechnical Engineering Study, Earth Solutions NW, LLC, dated December 23, 2015 and a Geotechnical
Addendum, prepared by Earth Solutions, NW, LLC dated February 13, 2017 (Exhibit 3) that outline the
potential impacts of the proposed subdivision on the project site.
The project site is bisected from northeast to southwest by a ravine with a stream running along the base.
The northwestern portion of the project site is located at the end of Redmond Place NE and has been
modified to create a building pad for a single-family residence. This portion is relatively flat. The
southeastern portion of the project site is currently forested. This portion descends gently from east to west
towards the ravine and is proposed to be developed with three single-family residences.
A total of four (4) test pits were excavated on the project site using a mini trackhoe for the purpose of
assessing the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions. Topsoil was encountered in the upper six to
eighteen inches (6”-18”) of soil. Fill was encountered in Test Pit 4 to a depth of two feet (2’). Underlying the
topsoil and fill, native soils were encountered consisting primarily of medium dense to very dense silty sand
with gravel glacial till deposits. Dense Vashon till was encountered generally between two and three feet (2’-
-3’) below existing ground surface. No groundwater was observed in any of the test pits.
The report concludes that a 15-foot building setback from the top of the protected slope areas, as required
in the City’s adopted Critical Areas Regulations (RMC 4-3-050G) would adequately mitigate for the impacts

of the proposed development on the project site. The report provided recommendations for site
preparation and earthwork, foundations, seismic design, slab-on-grade floors, retaining walls, drainage,
excavations and slopes, and utility support and trench backfill.
It is anticipated that compliance with the City’s critical areas regulations and building codes will adequately
mitigate for impacts to the construction of structures on this site; therefore no further mitigation is
recommended at this time.
Mitigation Measure: None recommended.
Nexus: Not Applicable.
2. Water
a. Stream
Impacts: The applicant submitted a Standard Stream Study, prepared by Altman Oliver Associates, LLC,
dated November 29, 2017 (Exhibit 4) with the project application. The submitted stream study identifies one
(1) onsite stream (Stream 1) that would be classified as a Type Ns stream. No wetlands were identified on
the project site. Type Ns streams require a standard 50-foot buffer plus a 15-foot building setback from the
buffer edge, except when the buffer falls within a protected slope, then the buffer extends to the top of the
protected slope. It appears that the stream buffer through the project site falls within the protected slope
area and would be required to extend to the top of the protected slope.
The preliminary short plat plan identifies the stream and associated buffer areas. Much of the stream buffer
falls within the protected slope areas; however, there is a small portion on the northeastern portion of Lot 1
where the stream buffer encroaches past the steep slope area and onto the less steep area of the site.
Access to Lot 1 is proposed to cross the stream buffer at this location to connect to Redmond Place NE. The
proposed access over the stream buffer would result in 860 square feet of unavoidable impacts to the
stream buffer. RMC 4-3-050J.2.a provides criteria for the approval of stream crossings over streams and/or
stream buffer areas as outlined below:
i. The proposed route is determined to have the least impact on the environment, while meeting City
Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element requirements and standards in RMC 4-6-060; and
ii. The crossing minimizes interruption of downstream movement of wood and gravel; and
iii. Transportation facilities in buffer areas shall not run parallel to the water body; and
iv. Crossings occur as near to perpendicular with the water body as possible; and
v. Crossings are designed according to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Fish Water
Crossing Design Guidelines, 2013, and the National Marine Fisheries Service Guidelines for Salmonid
Passage at Stream Crossings, 2000, as may be updated, or equivalent manuals as determined by the
Administrator; and
vi. Seasonal work windows are determined and made a condition of approval; and
vii. Mitigation criteria of subsection L of this Section are met.
The existing buffer impact area is approximately 860 square feet. It was previously cleared in 2005 and does
not currently provide any significant stormwater storage, water quality protection, or habitat functions to
the stream corridor.
To mitigate for the impacts of the driveway crossing over the buffer, the applicant is proposing to retain
existing, additional 860 square feet of replacement buffer on the south side of the ravine, adjacent to
proposed Lot 2. The applicant contends that the proposed buffer replacement area is currently forested and
would increase the size of the protected habitat corridor over existing conditions. The additional buffer area

would also provide increased physical and visual screening to riparian corridor from the development and
will allow for increased potential of large woody debris recruitment. Since the buffer replacement area is
already forested, no buffer plantings are proposed and the maintenance and monitoring requirements
associated within mitigation site per RMC 4-3-050.L would not be applicable.
Any impacts to the stream or buffer areas would be adequately mitigated by the City’s adopted Critical
Areas Regulations; therefore, no further mitigation is recommended.
Mitigation Measure: None recommended.
Nexus: Not Applicable.
E. Comments of Reviewing Departments
The proposal has been circulated to City Department and Division Reviewers. Where applicable, their
comments have been incorporated into the text of this report and/or “Advisory Notes to Applicant.”
Copies of all Review Comments are contained in the Official File and may be attached to this report.
The Environmental Determination decision will become final if the decision is not appealed within the 14-day
appeal period (RCW 43.21.C.075(3); WAC 197-11-680).
Environmental Determination Appeal Process: Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in
writing together with the required fee to: Hearing Examiner, City of Renton, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA
98057, on or before 5:00 p.m. on June 22, 2018. RMC 4-8-110 governs appeals to the Hearing Examiner and

SUBJECT: Standard Stream Study for Dalpay Short Plat (LUA17-000234)
Parcel 042305-9032, Renton, WA (Revised)
Dear Jim:
We have updated this stream study for the subject project to address the required
encroachment into the stream buffer for the Lot 1 access drive.
Background
On December 14, 2015 a wetland and stream reconnaissance was conducted on
the subject property utilizing the methodology outlined in the May 2010 Regional
Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western
Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region (Version 2.0). One stream (Stream 1) was
identified and delineated within a small ravine that traverses the central portion of
the property. No wetlands were identified on the site.
Stream 1
Stream 1 is a tributary to Honey Creek, which is identified as a Type Np stream per
the City of Renton (COR) mapping. The stream on the subject property is not
mapped on the COR mapping.
Stream 1 drains from north to south through a ravine dominated by a coniferous
forest that includes Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), western red cedar (Thuja
plicata), Oregon grape (Mahonia sp.), holly (Ilex sp.), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus
armeniacus), sword fern (Polystichum munitum), and English ivy (Hedera helix). Entire Document

SUBJECT:Utility and Transportation Comments for Dalpay short plat
Parcel Number 0423059032
LUA 17-000234
I have reviewed the application for the Dalpay short plat at PID # 0423059032 (located near the
intersection of NE 19th Street and Redmond Court NE) and have the following Conditions of approval and
the following review comments:
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
Stormwater
The applicant should account for the impervious and pervious surface in proposed Lot1 also
in the new flow control facility and new basic water quality facility proposed for the project.
The proposed new flow control facility and new water quality facility is required to be resized
to account for Lot 1 also.
The TIR submitted with the land use application mentioned that the Lot 1 was already
accounted for in the existing stormwater facility already constructed for the Dalpay short plat
that was recorded in 2005. Since that short plat was recorded more than 5 years ago, the
stormwater is not vested with the already recorded short plat. If the applicant wants to use the
existing stormwater facility to account for Lot1, then the applicant should provide for City’s
review additional information that shows that the existing stormwater facility will meet the
current RSWDM requirements for the stormwater facility sizing, access, etc.
REVIEW COMMENTS
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site is approximately 1.66 acres in size and is currently vacant.

SEWER
1. The conceptual utility plan submitted with the land use application proposed an extension of 8-
inch diameter sewer main along the proposed private access tract from the existing sewer main
at the east property line of the parcel until the east property line of proposed lot 3. The sewer
extension was proposed to serve lots 2, 3, and 4. However there required minimum 10 feet
separation of sewer main from the water main is not available. Therefore, instead of the sewer
main extension the development can provide individual side sewers from the existing 8-inch
sewer main(S-3373) east of the site. Private sewer easement will be required on lot 4 for side
sewer to serve lot 3.
2. Lot 1 is proposed to get sewer service from the 6-inch sewer stub located near the northwest
corner of lot 1 subject to field verification (if the existing sewer connection is found to not meet
City standards, then alternate sewer connection meeting City standards is required to be
provided.
3. The following sewer system improvements are required:
a. Each lot shall be served by an individual side sewer. Dual side sewers are not allowed.
b. If a side sewer is to serve a lot through an open space tract or another property, then a
15-foot wide public sewer easement shall be provided.
c. The minimum separation between sewer main and water main is 10 feet.
4. Public sewer main extensions located outside of existing or proposed right-of-way will be required
to be in minimum 15 feet wide public easement.
5. The development is subject to applicable wastewater system development charges based on the
size of the new domestic water to serve the project.
a. SDC fee for a 1-inch meter is $2,837 per 1-inch meter. There will be four 1-inch meters for
the proposed 4 lot short plat
11. The total water SDC fee is payable at construction permit issuance. The rate that is current at time

issuance day of the utility construction permit will be applicable on this project.
SURFACE WATER
a. A geotechnical report, dated December 23, 2015, and a response to comments letter dated
February 21, 2018 completed by Earth Solutions NW for the site has been provided. The
submitted report describes the site is not suitable for infiltration. A tightline conveyance of
the runoff across the steep slope area and controlled discharge via energy dissipater is
represented as the runoff conveyance option for the site. Erosion control measures will need
to be in place prior to starting grading activities on the site. Temporary construction
dewatering as well as temporary trench shoring may be necessary during utility excavation
and installation. Geotechnical recommendations presented need to be address within the
project plans and followed during construction.
b. A Preliminary Drainage Plan and Technical Information Report (TIR), dated April 25, 2018, was
submitted by Barghausen Inc. 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 Honey Creek Drainage Sub Basin. The development
is subject to Full Drainage Review in accordance with the 2017 City of Renton Surface Water
Design Manual (RSWDM). All core requirements and the six special requirements must be
discussed in the Technical Information Report. The project proposes the use of a storm filter
to provide basic water quality treatment. A private detention vault is proposed as the flow
control facility. The following stormwater improvements are required and shall be discussed
within the TIR:
i. The applicant should account for the impervious and pervious surface in proposed Lot1
also in the new flow control facility and new basic water quality facility proposed for
the project. The proposed new flow control facility and new water quality facility is
required to be resized to account for Lot 1 also.
o The TIR submitted with the land use application mentioned that the Lot 1 was
already accounted for in the existing stormwater facility already constructed for
the Dalpay short plat that was recorded in 2005. Since that short plat was
recorded more than 5 years ago, the stormwater is not vested with the already
recorded short plat. If the applicant wants to use the existing stormwater
facility to account for Lot1, then the applicant should provide for City’s review
additional information that shows that the existing stormwater facility will
meet the current RSWDM requirements for the stormwater facility sizing,
access, etc.
ii.The stormwater facility, tract, easement, and facility access shall be in accordance with
the design requirements outlined in the RCSWDM.
iii. Applicant shall include a complete discussion of core requirement #9 on-site BMPs in the
drainage report submitted with the construction permit application. The On-site BMPs
in the order mentioned in RSWDM section 1.2.9.2 should be included. The applicable
infeasibility criteria that is mentioned in the RSWDM should be cited for each on-site
BMP that is not recommended as applicable for the site. The current submitted TIR did
not include some on-site BMP options such as Reduced Impervious surface, Tree
retention, perforated pie connection, etc. The drainage plans should show and label the
required type and amount of on-site BMP provided.

iv. Drainage report and drainage plans submitted with the construction permit should
include all requirements of the RSWDM.
v. Storm drainage pipes shall not be located beneath any landscape strip or any sidewalk.
Relocate the lines into the paved roadway and provide solid round locking lids where
required.
vi. Roof drains require a minimum 10-foot easement. Applicant shall provide details on
how the roof drains will be connected into the public storm drain system. Such
connections shall be in accordance with City of Renton standards and the 2009
KCSWDM.
c. The development shall not create protected slopes as defined by RMC 4-3-050.
d. Grading shall be in accordance with RMC 4-4-060.
e. Separate structural plans will be required to be submitted for review and approval under a
separate building permit for the stormwater vault. Special inspection from the building
department is required.
f. A Construction Stormwater General Permit from Department of Ecology will be required if
grading and clearing of the site exceeds one acre. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) is required for this site.
g. A surface water development charge fee for each new single family residence will be
applicable on the project at the time of issuance of the construction permit. The current fee
rate is $1,718.00 per new single family residence. The project proposes the addition of 4 new
single family residences. The fee rate that is current at the time of issuance of the
construction permit will be applicable on the project.
TRANSPORTATION
1.The site does not have direct frontage to public ROW.
2.Access is proposed by connecting to existing recorded access easements.
a.Lots 2, 3, and 4 will be served by a new private access tract that will connect with existing
20 feet wide private access and utility easement (recording number 20110316900007) on
the adjacent east parcel. The applicant has submitted a modification request to allow lots
2, 3, and 4 to obtain access from the recorded private access easement. Staff
recommends support of the modification. The tract width, easement width, and
pavement width of the new private access tract should meet the requirements of RMC 4-
6-060 and the access requirements of the Renton Fire Authority. The individual lots will
gain access from the new private access tract by means of single family driveways.
b.Lot 1 is proposed to get single family driveway access from the 20 feet wide existing
private access Redmond Pl NE located to the north of lot 1. A street modification request
was submitted to allow lot 1 to gain access from the 20 feet wide existing private access
Redmond Pl NE. Staff recommends support of the modification. Single family driveways
shall meet the requirements of RMC 4-4-080. The access requirements of Renton Fire
Authority should also be satisfied by the project.
3. Paving and trench restoration shall comply with the City’s Trench Restoration and Overlay
Requirements.
4. Payment of the transportation impact fee is applicable on the construction of the development
at the time of single family building permit. The current rate of transportation impact fee is
$5,430.85 per single family home. The project proposes the addition of 4 new single family
