RE: Appeal of Hearing Examiner's decision dated July 17,2018,regarding Wilson Park 1
Preliminary Plat. (File No. LUA 09-140 PP, ECF)
Honorable Committee:
This letter is sent in opposition to the Appeal of the Hearing Examiner's decision dated July 17, 2018.
As Parties of Record living adjacent(down slope)to the subject Plat,we have followed both Wilson 1
and Wilson 2 for many years. We whole heartedly agree with the position City Staff made in their letter
opposing an additional Extension dated May 22,2018.
We support City Staffs statement from that letter:
"Granting an additional extension for Wilson Park 1 would extend the life of a preliminary plat
that, in the face of code amendments, no longer conforms to provisions of the Renton Municipal Code
including but not limited to,zoning,stormwater,critical areas,tree standards,street standards,and
retaining wall heights. Since the date of approval of Wilson Park 1 the City has adopted a new
comprehensive plan including new development standards associated with the residential zones.
Furthermore,the public concern related to retaining walls that stemmed from an appeal associated with
this project resulted in the City considering and then adopting new retaining wall height regulations."
We therefore request the City deny the Appeal and not extend approval of the preliminary plat of
Wilson Park 1.
Respectfully,
Luong Dang Jonathan Vu Khanh Nguyen
