1. The fire flow requirement for a single family home is 1,000 gpm minimum for dwellings up
to 3,600 square feet (including garage and basements). If the dwelling exceeds 3,600 square
feet, a minimum of 1,500 gpm fire flow would be required. A minimum of one fire hydrant
is required within 300-feet of the proposed buildings and two hydrants if the fire flow goes
up to 1,500 gpm. Existing hydrants can be counted toward the requirement as long as they
meet current code, including 5-inch storz fittings. Existing hydrants are not within 300-feet
of the furthest proposed dwellings, so new hydrants are required. A water availability
certificate is required from King County Water District 90.
2. The fire impact fees are applicable at the rate of $479.28 per single family unit. This fee is
paid at time of building permit. Credit would be granted for one existing home.
3. Fire department apparatus access roadways are required to be minimum 20-feet wide fully
paved, with 25-feet inside and 45-feet outside turning radius. Fire access roadways shall be

NOTE: The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary is preliminary and non-
binding and may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official city decision-makers. 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.
I have completed a preliminary review for the above-referenced proposal. The following comments are
based on the pre-application submittal made to the City of Renton by the applicant.
WATER
1. The proposed project is within the retail water service area of King County Water District No. 90.
2. The applicant shall obtain a certificate of water availability from the District and provide a copy of
the certificate to the City as part of the land use application.
3. Water main improvements plans approved by the District shall be submitted to the City as part of
the review of the construction plans and permits for site, roadway and utilities improvements.
4. The number and location of fire hydrants are subject to the approval of Renton Fire Prevention
Department. Lateral spacing of fire hydrants shall be predicated on hydrants being placed at street
intersections and/or entrances to the development.
SANITARY SEWER
1. Sewer service shall be provided by the City of Renton.
2. The project can get sewer service by extending the 8-inch existing sewer main, located south of the
site on 156th Ave SE near the intersection with SE 144th Street (or Northwest corner of Enclave Plat),
up to the North East property corner (on 156th Ave) of the subject development site. Applicant will

3. Each lot can be served by individual side sewers from the sewer main.
4. The development is subject to a wastewater system development charge (SDC) fee. The SDC fee for
sewer is based on the size of the new domestic water to serve the new home on each lot. The sewer
fee for a ¾-inch or 1-inch meter install is $2,033.00.
5. The Central Plateau Interceptor Special Assessment District fee (SAD) fee will be applicable on the

DATE: October 2, 2014
TO: Pre-Application File No. 14-001254
FROM: Clark H. Close, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Highland Glen Plat (13833 156th Ave SE)
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, Community & Economic Development Administrator,
Public Works Administrator, Planning Director, Development Services Director, 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 $50.00 plus tax, from the Finance Division on the first floor of City Hall
or online at www.rentonwa.gov.
Project Proposal: The subject property is located just north of SE 142nd Pl along 156th Ave SE
(APN 1463400060). The property was recently annexed into the City of Renton on September
24, 2014 (Trace Matthew Annexation, Ord. No. 5722). The 4.54-acre site is zoned Residential – 4
dwelling units per acre (R-4). The applicant is proposing to subdivide the single lot into 14
residential lots for the eventual development of detached single-family homes along with a
22,056 stormwater detention pond. The residential lots would range in size from approximately
9,731 square feet to 11,944 square feet. Access would be provided via an internal public road
connecting 154th Ave SE to 156th Ave SE. There are no critical areas located on site.
Current Use: The site currently contains a single family home. All existing structures are
proposed to be demolished.
Zoning/Density Requirements: The subject property was recently annexed from
Unincorporated King County to the City of Renton. The subject property is zoned Residential-4
dwelling units per net acre (R-4). There is no minimum density in the R-4 zone and the maximum
density is 4.0 dwelling units per net acre (du/ac). The area of public and private streets and
critical areas would be deducted from the gross site area to determine the “net” site area prior
to calculating density. The application materials identified a net site area as 164,140 square feet
(3.77 acres). Using the net square footage provided, the proposal for 14 lots arrives at a net
density of approximately 3.71 du/ac (14 lots / 3.77 acres = 3.71 du/ac), which is within the
density range permitted in the R-4 zone. The applicant will be required to comply with the
density requirements of the R-4 zoning designation using the net site area.

Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, “Development
Standards for Single Family Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application
(noted as “R-4 standards” herein). Single family residential development is permitted outright in
the R-4 zone.
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The minimum lot size permitted in Zone R-4 is 8,000
square feet except for small lot cluster development where interim zoning R-6 standards apply.
Minimum lot width is 70 feet for interior lots and 80 feet for corner lots; minimum lot depth is
80 feet except for small lot cluster development where interim zoning R-6 standards apply. The
proposal appears to comply with the lot size, width and depth requirements of the zone. The
proposal appears to comply with the lot standards of the code as designed.
Building Standards – R-4 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. The maximum
impervious surface would be limited to 55%. Building height is restricted to 30 feet from existing
grade. The proposal’s compliance with the building standards would be verified at the time of
building permit review for the new residences.
Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the
property line and any private access easement. The required setbacks in the R-4 zone are 30
feet for the front yard except for small lot clusters then 15 feet. The rear yard setback is
required to be 25 feet. Interior side yards are required to have 5 foot setbacks. The setbacks for
the new residences would be reviewed at the time of building permit.
Residential Design and Open Space Standards: All new dwelling units in the Residential-4 zone
are subject to the Residential Design and Open Space Standards outlined in RMC 4-2-115. The
proposal’s compliance with the residential design and open space standards would be verified
at the time of building permit review for each new residence.
Garages – The visual impact of garages shall be minimized, while porches and front doors shall
be the emphasis of the front of the home. Garages shall be located in a manner that minimizes
the presence of the garages and shall not be located at the end of view corridors. Alleyway
access is encouraged. If used, shared garages shall be within an acceptable walking distance to
the housing unit it is intended to serve.
Primary Entry – Entrances to homes shall be a focal point and allow space for social interaction.
Front doors shall face the street and be on the façade closest to the street. When a home is
located on a corner lot (i.e., at the intersection of two roads or the intersection of a road and a
common space), a feature like a wraparound porch shall be used to reduce the perceived scale
of the house and engage the street or open space on both sides.
Façade Modulation – Buildings shall not have monotonous façades along public areas. Dwellings
shall include articulation along public frontages; the articulation may include the connection of
an open porch to the building, a dormer facing the street, or a well-defined entry element.
Windows and Doors – Windows and front doors shall serve as an integral part of the character
of the home. Primary windows shall be proportioned vertically rather than horizontally. Vertical
windows may be combined together to create a larger window area. Front doors shall be a focal
point of the dwelling and be in scale with the home. All doors shall be of the same character as
the home.

Scale, Bulk, and Character – A diverse streetscape shall be provided by using elevations and
models that demonstrate a variety of floor plans, home sizes, and character. Neighborhoods
shall have a variety of home sizes and character.
Roofs – Roofs shall represent a variety of forms and profiles that add character and relief to the
landscape of the neighborhood. The use of bright colors, as well as roofing that is made of
material like gravel and/or reflective material, is discouraged.
Eaves – Eaves should be detailed and proportioned to complement the architectural style of the
home.
Architectural Detailing – Architectural detail shall be provided that is appropriate to the
architectural character of the home. Detailing like trim, columns, and/or corner boards shall
reflect the architectural character of the house.
Materials and Color – A diversity of materials and color shall be used on homes throughout the
community. A variety of materials that are appropriate to the architectural character of the
neighborhood shall be used. A diverse palette of colors shall be used to reduce monotony of
color or tone.
Access/Parking: Access to the proposed plat is proposed via a new through 53-foot wide
residential street connecting 156th Ave SE to 154th Ave SE. All lots would be accessed directly off
the new public roadway. Two off-street parking spaces are required for each primary residence
All abutting rights-of-way and new rights-of-way dedicated as part of the plat are required to be
graded to their full width and the pavement, landscaping, and sidewalks shall be constructed as
specified in the street standards RMC 4-6-060.
Driveways: The maximum driveway slopes cannot exceed 15%, provided that driveways
exceeding 8% are to provide slotted drains at the lower end of the driveway. If the grade
exceeds 15%, a variance is required.
Landscaping: Except for critical areas, all portions of the development area not covered by
structures, required parking, access, circulation or service areas, must be landscaped with
native, drought-resistant vegetative cover. The development standards require that all pervious
areas within the property boundaries be landscaped. The minimum onsite landscape width
required along street frontages is 10 feet with the exception of areas for required walkways and
driveways according to the landscaping standards of RMC 4-4-070F.
Minimum planting strip widths between the curb and sidewalk are established according to the
street development standards of RMC 4-6-060. Street trees and, at a minimum, groundcover are
to be located in this area when present. Street tree spacing standards shall be as stipulated by
the Department of Community and Economic Development, provided there shall be a minimum
of one street tree planted per address. Any additional undeveloped right-of-way areas shall be
landscaped unless otherwise determined by the Administrator of the Department of Community
and Economic Development or designee. Broadleaf trees planted in residential zones must be a
minimum of one and one-half inches (1.5") in diameter (dbh). Conifer trees at the time of
planting must be fully branched and a minimum of six feet (6') in height.
Code Interpretation 38 (CI-38, Effective Date: February 4, 2013) requires that the perimeter of
all new flow control and/or water quality treatment stormwater facilities be landscaped in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the 2009 KCSWDM, and the City of Renton
Amendments to the KCSWDM. Specifically, storm drainage facility landscaping must include a
Highland Glen Preliminary Plat
Page 4 of 5

H:\CED\Planning\Current Planning\PREAPPS\14-001254
minimum 15-foot wide landscaping strip on the outside of the fence unless otherwise
determined through the site plan review or subdivision review process.
A conceptual landscape plan must be provided with the formal land use application as
prepared by a registered Landscape Architect, a certified nurseryman or other certified
professional. The plan shall include, but are not limited to, the minimum 10-foot on-site
landscaping strip and street trees within the planting strip of each lot.
Significant Tree Retention: If significant trees (greater than 6-inch caliper) are proposed to be
removed a tree inventory and a tree retention plan along with a tree retention worksheet shall
be provided with the formal land use application. The tree retention plan must show
preservation of at least 30 percent of significant trees, and indicate how proposed building
footprints would be sited to accommodate preservation of significant trees that would be
retained. If the trees cannot be retained, they may be replaced with minimum 2 inch caliper
trees at a ratio of six to one. Tree retention standards shall be applied to the net developable
area. Land within critical areas and their buffers, as well as public rights-of-way.
Critical Areas: There appears to be no critical areas located on site. It is the applicant’s
responsibility to ascertain whether or not critical areas are located on site. If so, the proposal
would need to be revised accordingly.
Environmental Review: Environmental (SEPA) Review is required for projects greater than nine
lots, or on sites that contain critical areas. Therefore SEPA would be required for the proposed
subdivision. Note: the fee for Environmental (SEPA) Review is $1,030.00 ($1,000.00 plus 3 %
Technology Surcharge Fee).
Permit Requirements: The project would require Preliminary Plat review and Environmental
(SEPA) Review. With concurrent review of these applications, the process would take an
estimated time frame of 12 weeks. After the required notification period, the Environmental
Review Committee would issue a Threshold Determination for the project. When the required
two-week appeal period is completed, the project would go before the Hearing Examiner. Once
the Hearing Examiner issues a decision a two-week appeal period will commence. Note: the fee
for a preliminary plat application is $4,120.00 ($4,000.00 plus 3% Technology Surcharge Fee).
The applicant will be required to install a public information sign on the property. Detailed
information regarding the land use application submittal requirements is provided in the
attached handouts. Once Preliminary Plat approval is obtained, the applicant must complete the
required improvements and dedications, as well as satisfy any conditions of the preliminary
approval before submitting for Final Plat review. Once final approval is received, the plat may be
recorded. The newly created lots may only be sold after the plat has been recorded.
Fees: In addition to the applicable building and construction fees, impact fees are required. Such
fees apply to all projects and would be calculated at the time of building permit application and
payable prior to building permit issuance. The fees for 2014/2105 are as follows (2015 phase-in
