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.

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.

ENV ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Planning Division
1055 South Grady Way-Renton, WA 98057
Phone: 425-430-7200 | www.rentonwa.gov
PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST:
Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental
impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if
available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the
probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to
further analyze the proposal.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: [help]
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal.
Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may
need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may
use “not applicable” or “does not apply” only when you can explain why it does not apply and
not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional
studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the
SEPA process as well as later in the decision-making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a
period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help
describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this
checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably
related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEAD AGENCIES:
Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated
aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first
but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold
determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the
completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.

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.

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

ENV ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Planning Division
1055 South Grady Way-Renton, WA 98057
Phone: 425-430-7200 | www.rentonwa.gov
PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST:
Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental
impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if
available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the
probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to
further analyze the proposal.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: [help]
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal.
Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may
need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may
use “not applicable” or “does not apply” only when you can explain why it does not apply and
not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional
studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the
SEPA process as well as later in the decision-making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a
period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help
describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this
checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably
related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEAD AGENCIES:
Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated
aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first
but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold
determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the
completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.
