SUBJECT: 601 Monster Rd LUA18-0000237
Recommended revision for Land Use, but required revisions for construction permit submittal
1. The survey provided should correctly show all utilities internal to the site and also on the existing
frontages. The existing public sewer main on Monster Road SW (north of the site) and the
public sewer main from the sewer manhole facility ID MHO129 to sewer manhole facility ID
MHO131 should be shown correctly. The proposed building appears to encroach on the sewer
main connecting the MHO129 and MH0131. Building should not encroach or be within 10 feet of
the sewer main of sewer manhole.
To address this concern, the developer can add a new public sewer manhole at a distance of 10
feet away from the building and abandon and remove the existing sewer manhole and the
portion of public sewer main (within the site) that will be within 10 feet of the building. Or, an
equivalent alternative may be proposed to the City.
2. The water main at the south side of the building does not have 10 feet separation from the
building. The water main should be located minimum 10 feet away from the building. There
should be minimum 15 feet wide public easement for the public water main.
3. Stormwater -If the parcel owners of the parcels sharing the shared storm facility gives you
written document agreeing to the increase of impervious surface in your parcel with the
understanding that it will affect any increase of impervious area in their respective parcels, then
the existing facility can be used for the flow control facility needs of the project. If the written
document from the owners of the adjacent parcels that are involved in the shared facility
agreement is not provided to the City, a flow control facility meeting the requirements of the
2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual will be required to be provided within the
subject site.
4. Stormwater - TIR Core Requirement # 9 -the applicant must properly assess the feasibility of the
basic dispersion BMP because it is not deemed infeasible by underlying fill soils.
5. Stormwater— TIR The stormwater water quality facility sizing calculations should be provided.
Mention which Enhanced Basic water quality menu option from the 2017 RSWDM is provided.
The coalescing plate oil/water separator is a special requirement and it is in addition to the
Enhanced Basic water quality facility.
6. The site plan should include the frontage street cross section with the ROW dedication width
clearly shown and labelled.
• An 8 feet wide sidewalk is to be provided along the Monster Road (Principal Arterial)
north frontage of the site. The 8 feet wide planter should be provided between the 0.5
feet wide curb and sidewalk. Include a cross section in the plan that shows and labels
the width of the ROW dedication along with the other street frontage elements.
• Along Monster Road collector street (east of the site) — at the location where there is a
grade concern, the sidewalk can be located immediately behind the curb with safety
railing at back of sidewalk. This should transition to a section that includes the planter
between the curb and sidewalk at the locations where there is no grade concern. The
maximum allowed slope back of sidewalk is 41-1: 1V. Sixteen (16) feet wide half street
pavement width is required from the buttons in the street, 0.5 feet wide curb, planter
and sidewalk — (a) at location of grade concern the 6 feet wide sidewalk can be provided
adjacent to the curb with a pedestrian safety railing and (b) at location where there is no
grade concerns, the 8 feet wide landscaped planter should be provided between the
curb and a 8 feet wide sidewalk. The street section should be included in the plans.
Informational comment
1. The available fire flow is no longer a concern since Renton Fire Authority has changed its earlier
comments.
