SUBJECT: Utility and Transportation Comments for Sound Ford Collision Center
715 Lind Avenue SW
LUA19-000215
I have reviewed the application for the Sound Ford Collision Center at 715 Lind Avenue SW (APN(‘s) 1923059061) and
have the following comments:
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site is approximately 1.57 acres in size and is rectangular in shape. The site is fully developed with an existing building
on the west two-thirds of the property and a parking lot on the west third of the property adjacent to Lind Avenue SW.
Water Water service is provided by City of Renton. The site is in the Valley service area in the 196' hydraulic pressure
zone. There is an existing 12-inch City water main located in Lind Avenue SW (see Water plan no. W-0239) that
can deliver a maximum total flow capacity of 5,500 gallons per minute (gpm). The approximate static water
pressure is 76 psi at the elevation of 22 feet. The site is located outside of an Aquifer Protection Area. There is
an existing 8” fire service serving the existing building. There is an existing 2” domestic water meter serving the
existing building. Below is a summary of the existing fire hydrants in the vicinity of the site. Please refer to the
Fire Authority for fire hydrant requirements:
a. Approximately 35’ southeast of the southeast property corner.
b. Along the northeast property frontage.
Sewer Wastewater service is provided by the City of Renton. There is an existing 8-inch PVC gravity wastewater main
located in Lind Avenue SW (see City plan no. S-0091). There is an existing 6” concrete side sewer service for the
existing building.
Storm There is an existing storm drainage system in Lind Avenue SW (see City plan no. SW-1799). The existing property
does not appear to contain a storm water facility. Runoff from the existing site includes one building where
storm water runoff enters and existing storm water conveyance system within the existing parking lot which
appears to connect to the storm drainage system within Lind Avenue SW.
Streets Lind Avenue SW is classified as a Minor Arterial Street with an existing right of way (ROW) width of 80 as
measured using the King County Assessor’s Map. The existing street section is 48 feet of pavement (4 lanes),

$4,605.00* per service line and for $4,735.00* for each 2-inch water service line. This is payable at
construction permit issuance.
d. Drop-in meter fee is $460.00* per meter for a 1-inch meter, $750.00* for a 1-1/2 inch meter, and $950.00*
for a 2-inch meter. This is payable at issuance of the building.
e. Final determination of applicable fees will be made after the water meter size has been determined. SDC
fees are assessed and payable at construction permit issuance.
SEWER
1. The existing 6” concrete side sewer service for the existing building shall be lined if in good condition. The side
sewer shall be CCTV’d to determine if it is able to be lined.
2. All new sewer stubs shall be a minimum of 6” and shall run at a slope of at least 2% to the main.
3. If floor drains are required by the Building Department in the shop area, they will be required to drain through an
oil/water separator outside the building footprint, within the side sewer.
4. Car wash drains must connect to sanitary sewer, through an oil/water separator outside the building footprint,
within the side sewer. The application proposes to install oil-water separator as required.
5. The development is subject to a wastewater system development charge (SDC) fee. SDC fee for sewer is based on
the size of the new domestic water to serve the project. The current sewer fee for a 1-inch meter install is
$3,100.00 per meter.
SURFACE WATER
1. The site falls within the City’s Peak Rate Flow Control Standard area matching Existing Site Conditions and is within
the Black River Drainage Basin. Refer to Figure 1.1.2.A – Flow chart to determine the type of drainage review
required in the RSWM.
ADVISORY NOTES TO APPLICANT
Page 5 of 6 LUA19-000215
a. The project proposes less than 2,000 square feet of new impervious area and less than 5,000 square feet
of new plus replaced impervious area, therefore, the project is exempt from Storm Drainage Review. Final
evaluation of will be based on a Building Permit Application. If more than 2,000 square feet of new and/or
replaced impervious area is proposed, the project will be subject to drainage review.
2. Surface water system development fee is $0.720 per square foot of new impervious surface, but not less than
$1,800.00. This is payable prior to issuance of the civil construction permit.
TRANSPORTATION
1. If proposed new construction on the site, has a valuation of less than $150,000, street frontage improvements
and right of way dedication are not required. If proposed new construction on the site has a valuation of $150,000
or more, then the installation of street frontage improvements (see comment 2) and right of way dedication may
be required to conform to the City’s complete street standards found in RMC 4-6-060.
2. If applicable, the proposed development fronts Lind Avenue SW along the east property line(s). Lind Avenue SW
is classified as a Minor Arterial Street. Existing right-of-way (ROW) width is approximately 80 feet. Lind Ave SW is
not a designated bike route. Therefore, a corridor plan between SW 7th Street and SW 10th Street would include
a roadway width of 56 feet per RMC 4-6-060 (28 feet from centerline of ROW) The existing roadway width is
approximately 48 feet so 4-foot of widening on each side of the existing roadway is needed to provide the 56-foot
width. Additional required improvements are a 0.5-foot curb, an 8-foot planting strip, an 8-foot sidewalk, a 2-foot
clear space back of walk, street trees and storm drainage improvements. Right of way dedication would be
required.
3. Refer to City code 4-4-080 regarding driveway regulations.
a. A minimum separation of 5 feet is required between driveway and the property line.
b. Maximum driveway slopes shall not exceed 15%. Driveways exceeding 8% shall provide slotted drains.
c. The maximum width of single loaded garage driveway shall not exceed thirty feet (30').
4. A traffic analysis dated September 6, 2019, was provided by Transportation Engineering Northwest (TENW). The
site generated traffic volumes were calculated using data collected from the existing Sound Ford Collision Center
located at 750 Rainier Avenue S. Based on the calculations provided, the proposed development would
approximately 8 net new PM Peak Hour Trips. Since the PM Peak Hour Trips are lower than 20, no traffic Impact
Analysis is required.
5. Paving and trench restoration shall comply with the City’s Trench Restoration and Overlay Requirements.
6. The transportation impact fee is based on the type of land use. See the City Fee Schedule for transportation impact
fees. Transportation impact fees are subject to change based on the year the building permit is applied for. The
Applicant has submitted an independent fee calculations that will be evaluated as part of the building permit
application.
7. Traffic Concurrency is under separate cover.
GENERAL COMMENTS
1. All existing and proposed utility lines (i.e. electrical, phone, and cable services, etc.) along property frontage or
within the site must be underground. The construction of these franchise utilities must be inspected and approved
by a City of Renton inspector.
2. Adequate separation between utilities as well as other features shall be provided in accordance with code
requirements.
a. 7-ft minimum horizontal and 1-ft vertical separation between storm and other utilities is required with
the exception of water lines which require 10-ft horizontal and 1.5-ft vertical.
