PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND
The applicant, Precision and Design, is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review for the future construction of a
three-story multi -family apartment building. In addition to the Environmental Review, Site Plan Review before the
Hearing Examiner has also been requested. The subject property is located on the north side of SE Petrovitsky Road
just east of 122nd Avenue SE at 12228 SE Petrovitsky Road. The multi -family apartment building would be sited on a
vacant 0.456 acre site.
The completed project would provide 10,879 square feet of residential space within 8 multi -family dwelling units.
The building would be located on the eastern half of the project site with surface parking areas located with the
western half of the site, and landscaping is proposed around the perimeter of the site. A total of 14 parking stalls
are proposed, of which all would be located within the surface parking lot.
Access to the site would be provided from SE Petrovitsky Road via one existing curb cut. The proposed building
would result in a lot coverage of 20 percent. The building would have a height of 32 feet and 6 inches.
There is 1 tree onsite which is proposed for removal.
PART TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those project

D. Environmental Impacts
The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the
applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction
with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to hove the following
probable impacts:
1. Earth
Impacts: The proposed project site is relatively flat, with an overall grade of less than 2 percent. There is an
approximate 3-4 foot rockery along the northern property line and another of similar height along the
southern property line. The applicant has stated that approximately 450 cubic yards will be graded for the
construction of the proposed parking lot, building pads and utilities and will be balanced on-site. The site
coverage by impervious surfaces would be 47 percent after project construction.
A Geotechnical Engineering Study, prepared by Geo Group Northwest, Inc. dated April 20, 2009, was
submitted with the project application.
The study notes that dense, glacial till soil was revealed on the site. The soil consists of a concrete -like
mixture of sand, silt, and gravel. The till is typically overlain by 2 to 5 feet of medium dense silty sand. The
recommendations in the report are based on examination of material from four test pits excavated by
backhoe. The report provides recommendations for site preparation, foundations, retaining walls, slabs on
grade, drainage considerations, pavement areas, general earthwork, and structural fill. In order to limit
impacts to the project site and neighboring properties that could occur during project construction, staff
recommends as a mitigation measure that project construction comply with the recommendations found in
the geotechnical report prepared by Geo Group Northwest, Inc. dated April 20, 2009.
Also due to the potential for erosion to occur from the subject site, the applicant will be required to submit a
Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (TESCP) designed pursuant to the State Department of
Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements, outlined in Volume II of the 2001 Stormwater
Management Manual.
Mitigation Measures:
1. The applicant will be required to submit a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (TESCP)
designed pursuant to the State Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements,
outlined in Volume II of the 2001 Stormwater Management Manual. The plan must be submitted to and
approved by the Development Services Division Plan Review staff prior to issuance of the utility construction
and building permits and during construction.
2, The applicant will be required to comply with the recommendations found in the geotechnical report
prepared by Geo Group Northwest, Inc. dated April 20, 2009, during site clearing, grading, and building
construction.
Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations; Grading, Excavation and Mining Regulations RMC 4-4-060
2. Storm Water
Impacts: The site lies within the Green River drainage basin. Currently, runoff from the project site flows
south crossing SE Petrovitsky Road to the south side of the street. Runoff then flows to the east through a
well vegetated channel to join Soos Creek and eventually the Green River. The current downstream flow
pattern would not be modified by this project.
A drainage narrative, prepared by Benjamin P. Anstey, P.E., was submitted with the land use application.
However, a drainage report was not submitted with the project application. The engineer is required to
submit a drainage report as outlined by the King County Surface Water Drainage Manual as part of the
engineering permit application. The report needs to include a sketch of the downstream discharge along
with the downstream analysis. The drainage report shall also include the existing impervious area and the
new impervious area. The project must provide runoff controls to limit the developer conditions peak rates

of runoff to the predevelopment peak rates. In addition the storm report needs to show the calculations
that determine if onsite detention is or is not required and it needs to be stamped by a Professional
Engineer. The drainage plan is to be designed per the 1990 King County Surface Water Drainage Manual.
Mitigation Measures: No Further Mitigation Recommended
Nexus: Not Applicable
3. Parks and Recreation
Impacts: It can be expected that the project, with 8 new residential units, would have an impact on use of
City of Renton parks and recreation facilities. For this reason, a fee structure is in place to provide
compensation for such impacts. The Parks Mitigation Fee is $354.51 for each new multi -family unit. The
estimated fee would be $2,836.08 (8 units x $354.51= $2,836.08).
Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall pay a Parks Mitigation Fee of $354.51 for each new multi -family
unit. This fee is estimated at $2,836.08 and shall be payable prior to issuance of building permits.
Nexus: Park and Recreation Impact Fee Resolution 3037, SEPA
4. Transportation
Impacts: The 8 residential units are anticipated to generate 53.76 new trips daily, including peak hour trips.
To mitigate impacts on city streets from this usage, a Transportation Impact Fee would be imposed. The fee,
at $75 per trip for the 53.76 new daily trips anticipated, has been estimated at $4,032.00 (53.76 x $75 =
$4,032.00). This fee would be payable prior to issuance of the building permit.
Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall pay a Traffic Mitigation Fee in the amount of $75.00 for each new
net daily trip prior to issuance of building permits. The fee is estimated to be $4,032.00.
Nexus: Transportation Impact Fee Resolution 3100; Ordinance 4489; SEPA
S. Fire & Police
Impacts: The project can be expected to have impacts on fire and police services. Staff recommends a
mitigation measure requiring the applicant to pay a Fire Mitigation Fee of $388.00 for each new multi -family
residential unit. This fee is estimated to be $3,104.00 (8 units x $388.00 = $3,104.00) which would be
payable prior to the issuance of building permits.
Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall pay a Fire Mitigation Fee of $388.00 for each new multi -family
residential unit. This fee is estimated to be $3,104.00 which would be payable prior to the issuance of
building permits.
