SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Pursuant to RMC 4-9-250D, the applicant is requesting an Administrative Modification from RMC

BACKGROUND:
Mountain View Ave N is classified as a Residential access street with an existing right-of-way
width of 20 feet per the King County Assessor’s Map. The existing roadway pavement width is
approximately 20 feet. There are no improvements along the road and all 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 16.5 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 is in an already developed neighborhood. 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 south.
