RE: Street Modification Request
28 Hundred Unit Lot Subdivision
City of Renton File #LUA17-000163
Dear Ian:
Please consider this letter a street modification request for frontage improvements along NE 12th Street
for the 28 Hundred Unit Lot Subdivision with the following curb/sidewalk improvements:
5’ wide sidewalk
6’ wide planting strip.
0.5’ vertical curb. This requires a right of way dedication of 7.5’.
This is a reduction from the adopted requirement of a 6’ wide sidewalk and an 8’ wide landscaped
planter (rain garden) strip. City staff has determined that the area will be adequately served with the
proposed street section and that NE 12th Street will continue to be classified as a collector arterial and
as a Green Connection as designated in the City’s Sunset Area Surface Water Master Plan adopted in
April, 2011.
This request meets the following Code criteria:
1. Substantially implements the policy direction of the policies and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and the Community Design Element and the project
modification is the minimum adjustment necessary to implement these policies and objectives.
As directed by City staff who are dedicated to implementing said policy direction of the policies.
2. Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and
maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment.
As directed by City staff who are dedicated to implementing said objectives and safety, function,
appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by the Code requirements .
3. Will not be injurious to other property(ies) in the vicinity.

a similar street section for future developments, resulting in reduced costs and property loss to
them, the opposite of being injurious.
4. Conforms to the intent and purpose of the Code.

appropriate for the use and situation intended.
6. Will not create adverse impacts to other property(ies) in the vicinit y.
Any development to the east or to the west, and likely on the opposite side of NE 12th Street, will
likely also be required/allowed to continue a similar street section for future developments,
resulting in reduced costs and property loss to them, a positive impact to the owners of other
properties in the vicinity, as opposed to adverse impact.
