SUBJECT: Sumpter Short Plat / LUA19-000091 SHPL-A, MOD
Dear Mr. McGaha:
Thank you for your comments regarding the Sumpter Short Plat. You have been added as a Party of Record for this project and your comments have been added to the official file for consideration
by the decision maker.
In your letter, you cited safety concerns regarding the extension of 158th Ave SE to Wapato Pl SE. The proposed short plat would include sidewalks along the public street frontages,
which would separate pedestrians from vehicular traffic and increase safety for pedestrians around the development.
In addition, you expressed concerns regarding the large number of trees on the project site. The applicant is proposing to retain a large number of mature trees along the south property
line. Those trees are proposed to be protected in perpetuity within a tree protection easement. It is intended that these trees would continue to provide a buffer between the proposed
homes and existing development to the south of the project site.
Please contact me at (425) 430-6598 or jding@rentonwa.gov if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
/
Jill Ding
Senior Planner
