neighborhood, south and east of 1-405 and Mill Ave. South. The subject site appears to be
two remnant parcels from the construction of 1-405 and Mill Ave. South which created
irregularly shaped (triangular) parcels.
The development standards of the R-8 zone require a front yard of 20 feet and a rear yard of
20 feet. The setback is measured from the property line to the closest point of the structure.
The applicant is proposing a reduction of the front yard setback to 15 feet and the rear yard
to 5 feet in order to construct a single-family residence within the lot.
Along the So. 3rd SU Mill Ave. So. street frontage, 15-ft. and 25-ft. Puget Sound Energy
(PSE) easements exist. The applicant contacted PSE to review the existing condition. PSE
indicated that the north lot contains th(3 25 ft. easement and the south parcel contains a 15
ft. easement. PSE states they would be agreeable to reducing the 25 ft. easement to 17 ft.
and increasing the 15 ft. easement to 17 ft. in order to provide a consistent easement along
the frontage of these two parcels. An amendment to the existing easement documents is
required by PSE. They have also indicated that restrictions would be placed with the
recorded easement document including but not limited to: no deck or balcony could be
constructed above grade. Furthermore, PSE would require that the structure use only non-
metallic gutters, windows, etc. at the building exterior. Staff recommends as a condition of

REPORT AND DECISION OF August 20, 2004 Page 3 of 7
approval that the easement be recorded with these restrictions in place prior to the issuance
of building permits.
The applicant submittal residential floor plans for the site. The proposed 2,700 sq. ft.
structure would include: 1) a ground level including a three car garage, entry foyer, powder
room; 2) first floor with a bedroom, dining, living, kitchen, pantry, open foyer, two staircases;
and 3) second floor with master bedroom, bedroom, baths and open area to lower level.
The proposal appears to meet the required height and number of stories of two stories and
less than 35 ft. in height and would be verified at the time of building permit review. Lot
coverage would be 37 percent. The variance proposal would maintain the required interior 5-
foot side yard setbacks.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION
Having reviewed the written record in the matter, the City now makes and enters the
following:
D. Findings
1) Request: The applicant has requested approval for an administrative variance from
the required 20-foot front and rear yard setbacks in the R-8 zone (section 4-2-11 OA)
for the property located within the 1200 block of South 3rd St.. A 15-foot front yard
setback and a 5-ft. rear yard are requested.
2) Administrative Variance: The applicant's administrative variance submittal materials
comply with the requirements necessary to process a variance. The applicant's site
plan and other project drawings are entered as Exhibits No.1 through 8.
3) Existing Land Use: Land uses surrounding the subject site include: North: single-
family residential; South: single-family residential; East: single-family residential; and
West: public right-of-way and 1-405.
4) Zoning: The site is located in the Residential - 8 (R-8) dwelling units per acre zone.
The development standards for this zone require a 20-foot front and rear yard
setback, 5-foot interior side yard setback, and a 15-foot side yard along a street
setback. Maximum lot coverage is 50 percent for lots 5,000 sq. ft. or less.
4) Topography: The topography of the site slopes upward to the east with grades
ranging from 15 to 24 percent.
5) Lot and Building Size: The two-parcel site is 4,225 square feet. The proposed
single-family home totals 2,700 square feet and with a footprint pf approximately
1,550 square feet, which results in a building lot coverage of 37 percent (37%).
6) Yard Requirements: The two parcels are irregular in shape; thus the rear yard is
measured from an imaginary line at least fifteen feet (15 ft.) in length located entirely
within the lot and farthest removed and parallel to the front lot line.

REPORT AND DECISION OF August 20, 2004 Page 4 of 7
CONSISTENCY WITH VARIANCE CRITERIA
Section 4-9-250B.5.a. Lists 4 criteria that the Zoning Administrator is asked to consider,
along with all other relevant information, in making a decision on an Administrative Variance
application. These include the following:
The Zoning Administrator shall have authority to grant an administrative variance
upon making a determination, in writing, that the conditions specified below have
been found to exist:
a. That the applicant suffers undue hardship and the variance is necessary
because of special circumstances applicable to subject property, Including
size, shape, topography, location or surroundings of the subject property,
and the strict application of the Zoning Code Is found to deprive subject
property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by other property owners in
the vicinity and under Identical zone classification:
The applicant contends that special circumstances apply to the subject site, which
impose limitations on the lot. Specifically, the applicant indicates that the property
is constrained by its irregular configuration of two triangular shaped parcels. The
total site area is 4,225 square feet which is less than the required R-8 standard of
4,500 sq. ft. for lot area. The shape of the site is a unique circumstance due to the
location by 1-405. When the 1-405 right-of-way was obtained, the remnant lots were
created.
The applicant continues to contend that the irregular building envelope creates an
irregular shaped structure that would escalate building costs as a result of creative
architectural measures and ultimately may not blend aesthetically with the adjacent
neighbors due to these measures. They also contend that the building envelope
would create undesirable room areas.
The 20-foot front and rear yard setbacks limit the available building depth.
Therefore, the applicant is requesting to encroach the front and rear yard setbacks
by 5 feet in the front and 15 feet in the rear, in order to construct their single family
residence as illustrated in Exhibits 2 through 6. In this case, the hardship of the site
is the irregularly shaped lots, which constrains the building envelope.
b. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or Injurious to the property or improvements In the vicinity and
zone In which subject property Is situated:
The applicant intends to blend the house architecturally with the surrounding
properties (i.e. shape, colors, size). They state there is no intention of
overshadowing or dominating any neighboring properties with advanced
architectural conditions that would contrast with their exterior features and/or
treatments.
The issue is the siting of the residence within the required R-8 setbacks to provide
a front and rear yard and to not infringe on existing and future development
surrounding the site. As a result of reducing the rear yard to five feet, there would
not be an adequate distance from the properties located to the rear nor provide a
small back yard.

Admini!:.. _ ,ve Variance Staff Report
LUA-04-041, V-A
Page 50'7
Therefore, staff contends that the granting of the rear-yard variance to five-feet
would be materially detrimental to the public welfare. However, staff supports a
reduction from the required 20 foot rear yard to 13 feet. The additional seven feet
as measured parallel to the rear yard provides for a larger "rear yard" and sets the
house further away from abutting properties.
Secondly, staff is in support of the reduced front yard. However, due to Puget
Sound Energy easement requirements, a reduction of 3 feet from the required 20-
foot front yard would be the minimum decrease; thus a 17 foot front yard would be
permitted. There is no existing development across the street due to the 1-405 right-
of-way. Please refer to Exhibit 7 that illustrates the recommended setbacks.
Therefore, the granting of the front-yard variance would not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare.
c. That approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege Inconsistent
with the limitation upon uses of other properties In the vicinity and zone In
which the subject property is situated:
The applicant contends that approval does not constitute a special privilege as they
are generating a buildable lot that can support an affordable structure through
conventional construction methods while blending in with the neighborhood.
The combined area of the two parcels is 4,225 sq. ft. which is less than required by
the R-B zoning designation. The parcels are irregular in shape. The adjacent
properties are more rectangular in shape with lot areas of 3,560 and 5,330 sq. ft.
and both have newly constructed single family residences. However, the subject
site does not closely resemble a rectangular site as do the surrounding properties.
Therefore, no special privilege would be granted to this site as the same type of
variance would be supported under identical circumstances (substandard lot area,
irregularly shaped triangular site, and no residential across street).
The construction of the single-family residence would closely maintain the
appearance of a standard front yard setback as the building would be located 17
feet from the So. 3rd St.lMill Ave. So. frontage. Furthermore, other pertinent R-B
development standards would be met as a result of this proposal, including lot
coverage, building height and side yard setbacks.
d. That the approval as determined by the Zoning Administrator is a minimum
variance that will accomplish the desired purpose:
The applicant contends that the request is a minimum variance needed in order to
construct a new single-family residence within a buildable envelope.
However, staff does not support that assumption as the proposed single family
residence is large in comparison to other residences in the neighborhood and is
large for the subject site. A 2,700 sq. ft. house with a three car garage is proposed.
The property abutting the site to the northeast includes a two-car garage and is
smaller in scale, size and is much more compact in overall design (it should be
noted that the lot is rectangular) in order to fit the lot and meet the development
standards of the R-B zone.

LUA-04-041. V-A
REPORT AND DECISION OF August 20, 2004 Page 6 of 7
Staff does support a reduction in the yard setbacks but not as great as requested.
Due to the Puget Sound Energy easement of 17 feet along the So. 3rd St./Mill Ave.
So. frontage, this in effect becomes the front yard setback as concurred by staff.
The rear yard setback can be reduced by 7-ft. to provide for a 13-ft. rear yard as
measured from an imaginary line at least fifteen (15 ft.) in length located entirely
within the lot and farthest removed and parallel to the front lot line.
By locating the single-family residence closer to the front and rear property lines,
additional land would be provided to construct a detached single family unit with
enough depth to accomplish the desired purpose. Therefore, the variance request
is not the minimum necessary, as determined by staff, rather a reduced setback is
deemed necessary but with greater setbacks than requested. A 17 -ft. front yard
and a 15-ft. rear yard would be supported as the minimum necessary.
E. Conclusions
1. The subject site is located within the 1200 block of South 3rd St., within the
Residential - 8 Dwelling Units per Acre (R-8) zoning designation.
2. The R-8 zone requires a minimum 20-foot front and rear yard setbacks from the
property boundary (section 4-2-11 OA). The applicant is proposing a 5-foot reduction
of the front yard to 15 feet and a 15-foot reduction of the rear yard to 5 feet.
3. The analysis of the proposal according to variance criteria is found in the body of the
Staff Report.
F. Decision
The Administrative Setback Variance for the Grinolds Renton Hill Variance, File No.
LUA-04-041, V-A, is approved subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall submit a copy of the revised recorded easement from Puget Sound
Energy to the Development Services Project Manager prior to issuance of building
permit.
2. The front yard setback shall be 17 feet measured from the front property line to the face
of the building. The satisfaction of this requirement is subject to the review and approval
of the Development Services Project Manager and shall be verified at the time of building
permit issuance.
3. The rear yard setback shall be 13 feet as measured from an imaginary line at least
fifteen (15 ft.) in length located entirely within the lot and farthest removed and parallel to
the front lot line. The satisfaction of this requirement is subject to the review and
approval of the Development Services Project Manager and shall be verified at the time
of building permit issuance.

Re: Puget Sou ad Energy Easements
Proposed home at Renton Hill
Dear Mr. Kho~
425-454-3507
mmma 'T-556 P.OOl/ODZ F-474
Pursuant to our meeting yesterday, this letter is intended to outline some concUtions under which PSE
will allow the proposed house to be built along Mill Avenue in Renton.
The proposed hOllse as shown on n site plan provided by you is to be built. em lots 3S Bnd 56. PSE owns
an ea5ement 0(\ lot 35 for the front 2S feel of the property. PSE owns an ea~ement on lot S6 for the front
15 feeL You have requested that PSE reduce the easement on lot 35 down to 15 feet. After careful review
by our engineers, we are proposing that we redl.lce the 25 foot ea.setru!D't to 17 feet in exciltUlSC for the
property owner providins an add[tlonal2 feet of easement Oil lot 56. This will provide a consistent 17
foot easement across both lots, In addition, we will need to amend the easement docwaentS so that
althouGh the Plain structure wiU be built outside of the easement area. there will be adclitional restrictions
outside oftha easement area. DisaUowing the building Or my decklbalcony above pie will be one of
those restrietiuns.
In additiOn, PSE will require tbat tbe structure be built with non-metallic guttl:fS, wi.nC;ows and any other
buildins materials at the exterior of the str\.lcture.
I hope this letter helps to keep the project movl.ng ahead. We will need to have the easement amendments
signed by the property owner bl:fore constNction can begin.
lfyou have any questions or need additlonal information, please write or caU me Bt (4:~S) 456-2255.
Sincerely,

LUA.04·041, V·A
Dear Mr. Khorami:
.CITY. RENTON
PlanningIBuildinglPublic Works Department
Gregg Zimmerman P.E., Administrator
This letter is to request a status report on the Puget Sound Energy (PSE) easements located on the
subject site. We understand that you were under discussion with this entity concerning these easements
and the effect on your proposal. .
As the proposed building would be located on the existing easement, we will need written documentation
that either PSE has either 1) removed the easement .or 2) allows the construction to be located over the
easement.
. Once Development Planning has received such documentation, that along with the variance justification,
which has been received; we will review for completeness and then determine if the 'subject application is
can be accepted for review. .
Please contact me at (425) 430-7382 if you have any questions or by email atsfiala@cLrenton.wa.us

Re: Grinolds Renton Hili Variance -LUA-04-041, V-A
Dear Ms. Fiala:
•
I am following up on your letter issued to Mr. Ken Khorami dated April 20,2004. J am the
designer on the above project and I have been retained by Mr. Ken Khorami to prepare this letter
to state our reasons for each of the four variance criteria items under RMC4-9-2S0B.5. Our
reasons are listed below.
1. Mr. Ken Khorami referred to herein after as "the owner" is restricted by the irregular
shape of his property. The triangular shape of the property with the required zoning
setbacks produces an irregular building shape and confines the building area to a small
portion on the south side of the property. ·The irregular building envelope would firstly
create a very irregular structure which would escalate building costs as a result of creative
architectural measures and ultimately may not blend aesthetically with the adjacent
neighbors due to these measures. Secondly, the building envelope size would restrict the
overall building size to non-conforming and undesirable room areas that would render the
building envelope unusable.
2. It is the owner's intention to blend the house architectural1y with the surrounding
properties (ie. shape, colol's and overall size). The owner has no intention of over
shadowing or dominating any neighboring properties with any advanced architectural
conditions that would contrast with their exterior features andlor treatments.
3. A building permit issuance shall not extend any special' privileges to the owner's
property. Our only intention is to generate a ''build-able'' lot. A lot that can support an
affordable structure through conventional construction methods while blending in with
the current neiborhood.
4. The owner's request for a setback adjustment variance will be in rear of the property and
will not break the strcetscape of the surrounding properties. As a result the structure will
not encroach on the frontage street ahead of any neighboring properties resulting in
minimal (variance) impact on the adjacent properties. We strongly believe that this
should be a minimal (variance) decision for the zoning administrator due to minimal
impacts on any ofthe parties involved as outlined in this request.
. If you require further infonnation andlor details please do not hesitate to call.

Subject: Grinolds Renton Hill Variance
LUA·04·041; V·A
Dear Mr. Khorami:
The Development Planning Section of the City of Renton has determined that the subject application is
incomplete according to submittal requirements and; therefore, is not accepted for review. The following
additional information is required to continue processing your application:
It is the applicant's burden to provide detailed written justification for the four variance criteria of RMC4-9-
250B.5. Please compose the written justification with compelling reasons for each criteria listed below.
Staff strongly encourages the applicant to NOT repeat same verbiage of crlteria.
1. That the applicant suffers undue hardship and the variance is necessary because of special
circumstances applicable' to subject property. including size, shape. topography,. location or
surrounding of the subject property. and .the· strict application of the Zoning Code Is found to
deprive subject property owner of rights· and privileged e.njoyed by other property owners in the
vicinity and under identi~al zone classification. .
. .
2. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which subject property is
situated. . .' .
3. That approval shall I")ot constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon.
uses of other properties In the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated.
4. That the approval as determined by the Zoning Administrator is a minimum variance that will
accomplish the desired purpose.
Once the necessary information is received, your application will be formally accepted and processed.
Please contact me at (425) 430-7382 if you have any questions.

MEMORANDUM
Pre-Application File No. 03-029
Susan Fiala, Senior Planner, x7382
Grinolds/Renton Hill Setback Variance
General: We have completed a preliminary review of the pre-application for the above-referenced
development proposal. The following comments on development and permitting issues are based on the
pre-application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant and the codes in effect on the date
of review. The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary may be subject to
modification and/or concurrence by official decision-makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Zoning
Administrator, Board of Adjustment, Board of Public Works, and City Council). Review comments may
also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by City staff or made
by the applicant. The applicant is encouraged to review all applicable sections of the Renton Municipal
Code. The Development Regulations are available for purchase for $55.00 plus tax, from the Finance
Division on the first floor of City Hall.
Project Proposal: The subject site includes four lots comprised of five tax parcels. All lots are
undeveloped. Tile lots appear to be lot remnants due to the construction 1-405 and the adjacent Mill
Avenue South.
For purposes of this pre-application meeting, the applicant has labeled the four lots as A, B, C and D and
will be referred to as named. Two of the tax parcels would be combined to provide a larger "lot area" for
Lot C. The proposal as submitted would involve variances for front and rear yard setbacks for Lots Band
C. Lot B is 3,255 square feet and Lot C (combined tax parcels) would be 4,225 square feet.
ZoninglDensity Requirements: The subject property is located within the Residential - 8 dwelling units
per acre (R-8) zoning designation. Tile density range required in the R-8 zone isa minimum of 5.0 to a
maximum of 8.0 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) unless the parcel is less than one half acre as noted
below.
There are no proposed changes to the existing lots; therefore, density is not applicable.
Development Standards: The R-8 zone permits one residential structure/unit per lot. Detached
accessory structures are permitted at a maximum number of two per lot at 720 square feet each, or one
per lot at 1,000 square feet in size.
Minimum Lot Size, Width and DeQ.!h -The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 zone is 4,500 square
feet. A minimum lot width of 50 feet for interior lots and 60 feet for corner lots, as well as a minimum lot
depth of 65 feet, is also required.
Based on the submitted pre-application materials, the existing lots vary in lot size, width and depth. Lots B
and C (combined tax parcels) would be less than the required lot size. However, the lots are pre-existing
and code allows an exception which states 1I1at development of the lots would not be prohibited provided
that all setbacks, lot coverage, height, infrastructure and parking can be met. Therefore, lot size would not
be applicable in this case.
Building Standards -The R-8 zone allows a maximum building coverage of 35% of the lot area or 2,500
square feet, whichever is greater for lots over 5,000 square feet in size. Lots under 5,000 square feet in
size are permitted a maximum building coverage of 50% of the lot area. For the formal land use
application, all dimensions and square footages must be provided.
Grinolcls-Renton Hill Setback Variance
Pre-Application Meeting
Page 2 of 2
Building height is restricted to 30 feet and two stories. Detached accessory structures must remain below
a height of 15 feet and one-story with a gross floor area that is less than the primary structure. Accessory
structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations.
Setbacks -Setbacks are measured from the property lines to the nearest point of the structure. The
required setbacks in the R-8 zone are 20 feet in the front, 20 feet in the rear, 5 feet on interior side yards,
and 15 feet on side yards along streets. All setbacks are to be shown on the formal land use application
submittal. As proposed, the applicant would be required to request an Administrative Setback Variance
for front and rear yard setbacks for Lots B & C.
Staff would not likely support the variances as proposed. As an alternative variance request, staff
recommends the following: A reduced front yard setback to 10 feet for the primary structure with an 18
foot front yard setback for the garage. All rear yards must maintain a 20 foot setback. This would help
ensure uniform rear yards for all four lots.
Since no single family homes are across the street and the houses would be facing a public road and the
interstate, it would appear that a lesser front yard would be more appropriate. Additionally, the rear yards
of these lots have slopes potentially up to 25% (based on Critical Areas maps).
Administrative Variance: An Administrative Variance would need to be granted in order to reduce the
required 20-foot front yard setbacks. As part of the variance process the burden would be on the
applicant to show that:
a. That the applicant suffers undue hardship and the variance is necessary because of
special circumstances applicable to subject property, including size, shape, topography,
location or surrounding of the subject property, and the strict application of the Zoning
Code is found to deprive subject property owner of rights and privileged enjoyed by other
property owners in the vicinity and under identical zone classification.
b. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which subject
property is situated.
c. That approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject
property is situated.
d. That the approval as determined by the Zoning Administrator is a minimum variance that
will accomplish the desired purpose.
Access/Parking: Each lot is required to accommodate off street parking for a minimum of two vehicles
per lot. The location of curb cuts should be carefully reviewed to minimize impacts to the street and
Driveway Grades: The maximum driveway slope can not exceed fifteen percent (15%), provided that
driveways exceeding eight percent (8%) are to provide slotted drains at the lower end of the driveway. If
the grade exceeds 15%, a variance from the Board of Adjustment is required.
Sensitive Areas: Based on the City's Critical Areas Maps, the parcels appear to be located in both
Medium and High Landslide areas. The site may contain slopes with grades from 15% to 25%. These do
not qualify as steep slopes according to Code.
A Geotechnical Report would be required to be prepared that addresses soils, geology and other
pertinent issues. Through the variance review process, the City may condition the approval of the
development in order to require mitigation of any potential hazards based on the results of the study.
Permit Requirements: Variances to the setback requirements are processed administratively within an
estimated time frame of 6 to 8 weeks for approval. The application fee would be $100.00 for both lots,
plus first class postage ($0.37) per mailing label required for notification to ~urrounding property owners
within 300 feet of the site. Detailed information regarding the land use application submittal is provided in
the attached handouts.

Fire Department Comments:
1. A fire hydrant with 1000 GPM fire flow is required within 300 feet of
all new single family structures. If the building square footage exceeds
3600 square feet in area, the minimum fire flow increases to 1500 GPM
and requires two hydrants within 300 feet of the structure.
2. A fire mitigation fee of $488.00 is required for all new single family

Dear Laureen Nicolay:
r like to bring to your attention that after obtaining a survey and looking at the codes for
the set back for the subject property; it is impossible to put any kind of footprint on the
site. The Architect and I spent hours on trying to work with the set backs and try to
maximize the set backs in order to have a footprint that works.
Finally, after hours of work we came up with the only plan that would work for that site
in order to have a livable floor plan that any family might use as a residence.
We are asking for the following variance on the subject property:
A) 15 Feet front yard set back
B) 5 feet rear yard set back
Attached, please find a copy of the site plan that clearly illustrates the variance we are
requesting.
Due to the fact that this process has taken a long time, your immediate attention is much
appreciated. Please contact me on my cell @ (206) 310-5127 if any questions may arise.

Dear Laureen Nicolay:
I like to bring to your attention that the variance is a must due to the shape of property.
The property consists of two right triangles, with the base ofthe triangle at the front of
the property on the street side. By taking minimum of 15 feet from the front and 15 feet
from the bank this automatically eliminates the use of the smaller lot and minimizes the
second lot to a 25 feet wide irregular shape, which makes it impossible for any type of
design.
This variance will not have any effect or hardship to any of the adjacent properties
specially with the layout that we are representing for your approval.
Again this variance will not cause any kind of limitation upon uses of the other properties
in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated.
Attached, please find a copy of the site plan that clearly illustrates the variance we are
requesting.
Due to the fact that this process has taken a long time, your immediate attention is much
appreciated. Please contact me on my cell @ (206) 310-5127 if any questions may arise.

SUBJECT: Grinolds/Renton Hill Setback Variance-Additional Comments
The following provides additional comments on the proposed variances based on new
information provided by the applicant at the March 27, 2003 Pre-Application meeting.
The new information provided was: Puget Sound Energy easements are located on all subject lots with
width ranging from 15 to 25 feet. The easements are located at the front of these subject lots along the
Mill Avenue South frontage.
In light of this information, staff has further reviewed the proposal and offers the following
comments.
Lot A: No variances appear to be needed.
Lot B: Staff would likely support the reduced setbacks for:
From a 20 foot to a 15 foot front yard setback
From a 20 foot to a 15 foot rear yard setback
Lot C: Staff would likely support the reduced setbacks for:
From a 20 foot to a 15 foot front yard setback
From a 20 foot to a 15 foot rear yard setback
Lot 0: Staff would not support any variance request.
As required per code, setbacks are measured from the property lines to the nearest point of the structure.
The required setbacks in the R-8 zone are 20 feet in the front, 20 feet in the rear, 5 feet on interior side
yards, and 15 feet on side yards along streets. All setbacks must be shown on the formal land use
application submittal.
The requested variances would be administratively reviewed.

PreApplication Review Comments PREAPP No. 03-029 -Crinoids
NOTE ON PRELIMINARY REVIEW COMMENTS CONTAINED IN TIHS REPORT:
The following comlllents on development and permitting issues arc based on the pre-application
submittals made to the City of Renton hy the applicant. The applicant is cautioned that information
contained in this summary Illay be subject to Illodification and/or concurrence hy official decision
makers (e.g. Heuring EXlllniner, Boards of Ad.illstrnent, Board of Public Works and City Council).
Review comments mlly also need to be revised bllsed on site planning and other design changes
required hy the City or'made by the applicant.
I have reviewed the preliminary application for this 'variance of setbacks' request. The proposal
is to develop four existing lots (although County records show five lots, see attached map).
WATER
I. There is an existing 6-inch and 12-inch water main in Mill Ave S.
2. All new construction must have a fire hydrant capabl~ of delivering a minimum of 1,000
gpm and must be located within 300 feet of the structures. There is a fire hydrant in the
vicinity that may be counted towards the fire protection of this project. Available fire now
is 1410 gpm.
3. The proposed project is located in the 370-water pressure zone and is within Aquifer
Protection Zone 2.
LI. Unless the lots were previously connected to the water system, the Water System
Development Charge (SDC) will be triggered ill the single-family rate of $1,105 per new
single family home (4 x $1, I 05.00/10t = $4,420.00). This fee is collected prior to issuance of
a construction permit.
SANITARY SEWER
I. There is an existing 6-inch sewer main in Mill Ave S. New side sewers are required for each
single family home.
2. Unless the lots were previously connected to the sewer system, the Sanitary Sewer System
Development ChiHges (SDC) is $760 per new home (4 x $760.00/10t = $3,040.00). These are
payable at the time the utility construction permit is issued.
SURFACE WATER
I. Roof and impervious surface runoff mllst be accommodated in accordance with the drainage
law requirements. A suggested method of storm water control is roofrunoffinfiltration.
PrcApplication Review Commenl" PREAPP No. 03-029 -Grinolcls 03/25103 Pnge 2
2. Unless there were previously eXlstll1g homes on these lots, the Surface Water System
Development Charges (SDC) are $525 per new home (4 x $525.00/10t = $2, I 00.00). These
are payable at the time the utility construction permit is issued.
STREET IMPROVEMENTS
I. The traffic mitigation fee of$75 per additional generated trip shall be assessed per additional
single family home at a rate of9.57 trips (4 x 9.57 trips x $75/trip = $2.871.50). This fee is
payable at time of recording the short plat.
2. All new electrical, phone and cable services must be underground. Construction of these
franchise utilities must be inspected and approved by a City of Renton public works
inspector prior to building permits.
GENERAL COMMfi:NTS
I. The applicant is responsible for securing all necessary. if any, private utilities easements.
