RE: Wilson Park II
Mr. Korve,
Thank you for sending over the revised construction drawings for Wilson Park II. Based on the our very
preliminary review of the adjusted plan set you will need to submit a formal revision to your previously
approved plan set, construction plans for Safe Route to school, as well as a Final PUD submittal. Reviews
of the Final PUD and the Civil Construction Revisions will be concurrent. Please set up an intake
appointment for the Civil Construction Revisions with Justin Johnson (425-902-7102) and for the Final
PUD with Vanessa Dolbee (vdolbee@rentonwa.gov).
We reviewed the materials that you provided at a very preliminary level and noted the following
corrections and/or missing information that need to be addressed prior to acceptance of your revised
construction plan submittal. Our preliminary comments and required items are noted below:
1. The construction plans shall be revised to provide shared driveways for all but two lots to
reduce the number of curb cuts in the project. Lots with shared driveways shall be accessed
from the rear (off of the proposed shared driveways). Easements for each of the driveways will
need to be recorded on the plat.
2. The City will accept a hammerhead turn around within lots 6 and 7 as long as it meets the
requirements of Renton Fire Authority for turn arounds.
3. Underground utilities (proposed water line) are permitted within the Urban Separator provided
they are located underground and the surface is revegetated and pervious. Revise the
construction plans accordingly.
4. Disturbance to the Urban Separator should be reduced to the maximum extent possible. As
such only the water line necessary for Wilson Park II will be allowed to be constructed, and
water lines should cross perpendicular to reduce the linear footage of impact. Revise the
construction plans accordingly.
5. No development is permitted on Protected Slopes (slopes 40% or greater), this includes any new
water lines and/or grading for the road or lots. Please identify areas of Protected Slopes to
ensure the off -site site work will not be located within a Protected Slope.
6. The creation of Protected Slopes is not permitted, no grades shall be created that exceed 39.9%.
Construction plans shall be evaluated and show that protected slopes are not being created.

A fence detail is required to be provided and is not in the plan set. In addition the fence shown
on the plan set is not in the correct location. Revise location of split rail fence on the
construction plans to be located along the edge of the Protected Slope.
It is unclear where the Protected Slopes are located on the site on sheet 3 of the plan set (Offe
Grading/Erosion Control Plan). This should be added to the plan set to ensure the retaining
walls and trail are located in the right location and do not encroach into the Protected Slopes.
Lighting is required along the pedestrian path and at the pergola. This lighting plan was to be
included with the construction permit and was not included in the material submitted. This is
required as part of the revision submittal.
10. The Community Space is required to add a recreational amenity. The staff report suggested
elements such as a BBQ area, fire pit, or community garden. Only a pergola is proposed in the
provided plan set which is insufficient as a Community Space. Amendments to the plans shall
show compliance with this requirement. Furthermore, it appears a portion of the Community
Space is located within the Protected Slope, this should be redesigned to not encroach into the
Protected Slope.
11. The plans call for the Safe Route to School along South 55th Street to Talbot, with a reference to
a separate civil construction permit (Condition of Approval #8). Construction plans for this
walkway shall be submitted with the revision submittal.
12. A Final PUD is required to be submitted with the revision submittal and needs to be processed
and approved prior to Civil Construction Permit Issuance.
Please note that the Final Plat and PUD will expire if construction is not completed and the Final Plat
recorded by July 5, 2019.
Once the project is completed you will need to submit a clean set of final record drawings (as-builts)
which would only include the information of what was constructed in the field.
Thank you, —6
