SIMULTANEOUS FILING OF Permit #2018-NW4202
Approved Shoreline Substantial Development Permit (SDP) #3700
Approved Shoreline Variance #550
Dear Ms. Cooley:
On May 16, 2018, we received the City of Renton (City) decision on your shoreline SDP and
variance to widen Interstate 405 (I-405) to add one new lane in each direction to create a dual
lane express toll system. Work proposed within the City shoreline jurisdiction includes roadway,
bridge, and trail replacement and expansion in the Urban Conservancy shoreline environment
designation (SED) at May Creek and Shoreline Residential SED adjacent to Lake Washington.
Local governments, after reviewing SDPs for compliance, are required to submit them to
Ecology. We have received and filed your approved SDP.
By law, we must review all shoreline variances for compliance with:
• The Shoreline Management Act (Chapter 90.58 RCW).
• Ecology's variance permit approval criteria (Chapter 173-27470 WAC).
• The City Local Shoreline Master Program.
After reviewing shoreline varian
ce permits for compliance, we must decide whether to approve,
approve with conditions, or disapprove them.
Our Decision:
We approve this variance allowing the proposed May Creek Trail and Eastside Railroad Corridor
Trail segments to deviate from the six-foot maximum width and pervious surface material
requirements of RMC 4-3-091).4.d.1, provided your project complies with the conditions
required by the City.
