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

I have completed a preliminary review for the above-referenced proposal located at parcels 3343902061,
3343902124, & 3343902120. The following comments are based on the pre-application submittal made to the
City of Renton by the applicant.
Water
The proposed development is within the City of Renton’s water service area and in the 435-hydraulic zone.
The development is within Zone 2 of the City’s aquifer protection area.
There is an existing 8-inch main within a City-owned utility easement in NE 26th Place and along the south
property line of tax lot 3343902061 and also across tax lot 3343902062 (refer to City water project plan no. W-
2162). The 8-inch water line can deliver 2,000 gallons per minute and the static water pressure is about 73 psi
at ground elevation of 264 feet.
If there are any lot line changes, the location of the 8-inch water main will need to be accounted for in an
easement. If the property lines are left as they currently are, a 7.5 ft. set back from the edge of the easement
for all structures is required.
The following water improvements will be required to provide water service to the proposed
residential subdivision:
1. Installation of a fire hydrant within 300 feet of each proposed lot.
2. Installation of a new 1-inch minimum domestic water service line and meter to each lot.
3. Installation of a residential fire sprinkler is the proposed dwellings exceed 3,600 sq-ft or if otherwise
required by Fire Prevention Department.
4. Subject to payment of applicable water system development charges and of water meter
installation fees.

1. The site is within the City of Renton’s sewer service area. There is an existing 16-inch diameter PVC
interceptor line running east-west from Aberdeen Avenue NE along NE 26th Place within the same City-owned
utility easement as the water line.
2. If there are any lot line changes, the location of the interceptor line will need to be accounted for in an
easement. If the property lines are left as they currently are, a 7.5 ft. set back from the edge of the easement
for all structures is required.
3. There are two stubs for the parcels 3343902124 & 3343902120; however, parcel 3343902061 does not have
an existing sewer stub due to the site’s topography. This parcel may require a grinder pump in order to
connect to the existing sewer.
4. The Sanitary Sewer System Development Charges (SDC) are based on the size of each domestic water
meter(s). These fees are collected at the time a construction permit is issued. This project falls within the
boundaries of the Kennydale Interceptor Special Assessment District (SAD). The SAD fee is $666.88 per single
family house and a frontage charge of $5,266.25 per lot.
TRANSPORTATION/STREET
1. The current transportation impact fee rate is $2,214.44 per new single family house. The transportation
impact fee that is current at the time of building permit application will be levied. Payment of the

2. Road Classification – Aberdeen Avenue NE / Collector Arterial.
3. Referring to RMC 4-6-060J. Private Streets – 26 ft. easement with a 20 ft. pavement width; no sidewalks;
drainage improvements per City Code are required, slope not to exceed 15%; the cross sections shall be 4-
inches of HMA over 6-inches of CSTC. An easement is required to create a private street. Applicant shall
submit an application to the City requesting a modification of the private street requirements as outlined
in City code 4-9-250C5d. This proposal does not meet 2 of the minimum 6 lots abut ting a public right of
way; the applicant could request for 20 ft. of pavement width and stripe it for 16 ft. for regular vehicular
traffic but would still have the 20 ft. required for fire access; this modification would require 5 ft. of
additional property from the 2 lots along the north side of the current private access off of Aberdeen Ave.
NE.
4. Referring to RMC 4-6-060H Dead End Streets – length of street from 500 ft. to 700 ft. requires a 90 ft. cul-
de-sac and a fire sprinkler system for each house. The requirement for a turnaround or a cul-de-sac may
be waived by the Administrator with the approval of Fire and Emergency Services.

6. Paving and trench restoration shall comply with the City’s Trench Restoration and Overlay Requirements.
7. Street lighting may be required depending on the final access/road layout.
Storm Drainage
1. There is a drainage conveyance system running east-west from Aberdeen Avenue NE along NE 26th
Place within the same City-owned utility easement as the water and sewer lines.

Conditions and is in the May Creek Drainage Basin. The drainage report will need to follow the area
specific flow control requirements under Core Requirement #3. Refer to Figure 1.1.2.A – Flow Chart to

Manual Amendment. The final drainage plan and drainage report must be submitted with the utility
construction permit application.
3. A geotechnical report for the site is required. Information on the water table and soil permeability with
recommendations of appropriate flow control BMP options with typical designs for the site from the
geotechnical engineer shall be submitted with the application. The report shall include information to
determine if the site is suitable for infiltration and a design infiltration rate.
4. If there are any lot line changes, the location of the 24-inch storm water pipe will need to be
accounted for in an easement. If the property lines are left as they currently are, a 7.5 ft. set back
from the edge of the easement for all structures is required.
