The subject property consists of one parcel located in the Southeast ¼ of Section 31, Township 24, Range 05 East W.M. (King County Tax Parcel Number 33421039053). SVC investigated the subject property to verify existing conditions in the Spring of 2018. This Technical Memorandum has been prepared to document compliance of the proposed redevelopment with the City of Renton’s Shoreline Master Program (SMP) codified in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-3-090. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Proposed Project The Applicant proposes single-family residence redevelopment on the subject property. The existing single- family residential structure is dilapidated and non-confirming and does not meet the residential needs of the Applicant. The Applicant proposes to demolish the existing 2,438 square-foot single-family residence with an attached 370 square-foot deck, and to construct a two-story, 3,634 square-foot single-family residence with an attached 231 square-foot deck. The single-family residence to be demolished is located approximately 80 feet from the ordinary high water (OHW) mark of Lake Washington. The proposed replacement single-family residence will be located outside the 100-foot setback from OHW. The proposed structure location is compliant with the standard 100-foot structural setback listed in the City of Renton’s SMP general development standards (RMC Table 4-3-090D7a). The subject property contains existing utilities that will be utilized for the replacement single-family residence. The redevelopment was planned concurrently with an approved Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) permit number 2016-4-610+01 (Attachment B) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Nationwide Permit (NWP) 27, permit number NWS-2016-317 (Attachment C), which allowed construction of a new pier, drive piling, installing of two ground-based watercraft lifts, placement of spawning gravel, and modify an existing bulkhead. Additionally, the NWP allowed aquatic habitat restoration, establishment, and enhancement actions to place no more than 50 cubic yards of spawning gravel waterward of OHW and pulling back the existing rock and concrete bulkhead approximately three to eight feet behind OHW. These structures have been fully constructed, and as part of the approved NWP the Applicant has completed the riparian restoration adjacent to the shoreline.
