Planning Division of the City of Renton. The following briefly describes the application and the necessary Public Approvals.
DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: November 29, 2018
PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR18-000554 38th Street Short Plat /
LUA18-000683, SHPL-A, ECF

APPLICANT/PROJECT CONTACT
PERSON:

silvija@mediciarchitects.com / 11711 SE 8th St,
Unit 100, Bellevue, WA 98005
LOCATION WHERE APPLICATION MAY
BE REVIEWED:
Applicant documents are available online through the City of Renton
Document Center website. See also https://bit.ly/2FM16Ob
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Preliminary Short Plat approval and Environmental
(SEPA) Review for the subdivision of an existing 62,781 square foot project site zoned R-8, into 8 lots and 2 tracts (shared
driveway/alley and native growth protection area). An existing single-family residence is proposed for removal. The
proposed lots would range in size from 5,000 square feet to 6,522 square feet. Access to the proposed lots would be
provided via a shared driveway/alley off of NE 38th Street. Half street improvements, including paving, curb and gutter,
landscaping with street trees, and sidewalk would be provided along the site's Lincoln Ave NE and NE 38th Street
frontages. The site is mapped with erosion hazard areas, landslide hazard areas, sensitive slopes, and protected slopes.
The applicant is proposing to retain 17 of the existing 102 significant trees located on the project site. The average slopes
across the site appear to meet the 20 percent threshold, which would require that the review of the short plat meet the
Hillside Subdivision requirements.
