SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Pursuant to RMC 4-9-250D, the applicant is requesting an Administrative Modification from RMC
4-6-060 - Street Standards to modify SE 185th Place to maintain the existing street section and
dead end roadway.
BACKGROUND:
SE 185th Place is classified as a Residential access street with an existing right-of-way width of 48
feet per the King County Assessor’s Map. The existing roadway pavement width is approximately
26 feet. There is an existing temporary turnaround easement with a 42-foot radius on the north
side of the east end of SE 185th Pl as recorded on the plat under King County recording number
9504241079. The turnaround is suitable for fire vehicles. The majority of the lots along this dead
end street are developed with single family homes.
Per RMC 4-6-060, Complete Street Standards, a Residential Access street requires a minimum
right-of-way width of 53 feet. A paved roadway width of 26 feet consisting of two 10-foot travel
lanes and one 6-foot parking lane is required. A 0.5-foot curb, 8-foot planter, and 5-foot sidewalk
are required along each side of the pavement.
To meet the City’s Complete Street Standards, right-of-way dedication of approximately 36.5 feet
with a minimum of 20 feet of paving, a 0.5-foot curb, an 8-foot planter, and a 5-foot sidewalk is
required along the project frontage.
The proposed residence abuts a dead end roadway. The existing roadway meets the requirement
for an emergency access roadway (20-foot paved roadway width with an approved fire access
turnaround). Currently, this roadway is not anticipated to extend east.
