Jill Ding Senior Planner City of Renton Community and Economic Development 6th floor 1055 S Grady Way Renton, WA 98057 425-430-6598 jding@rentonwa.gov From: George Steirer <george@plantopermit.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2019 12:44 PM To: Jill Ding <JDing@Rentonwa.gov> Subject: Re: Benson Trails Variance Submial Hi Jill: Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. To ensure we are providing the city with everything that is needed for the variance application, I would like to confirm that a drainage/determination request and a storm drainage permit is not required until building permit. Is that correct? Thank you.

As it has been more than 5 years since this plat has recorded, the lot is no longer vested to the development standards that were in effect. This means that development of the lot would need to comply with current cri?cal areas and stormwater regula?ons.

If the proposed building footprint would project into the wetland buffer a reasonable use excep?on may be required in addi?on to the requested setback variances. [Response 1a by George: Since the city required the setback from the buffer to be shown on the face of the recorded plat, isn't it vested? Said another way, doesn't the previously approved and recorded wetland buffer and setback apply for this lot?] 2.You will need to submit a drainage report, as we need informa?on on the exis?ng stormwater facility and whether or not it has capacity to accommodate the addi?onal impervious surface per our current 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual. If the exis?ng facility does not have capacity, we will need to know how you propose to accommodate the addi?onal surface water flows. [Response 2a by George: The stormwater plan for the plat approved the lot for infiltra’on. Plese see the a*ached approved stromwater plan for the plat, with the most RE: Benson Trails Variance Submittal 2 of 7 relevant informa’on highlighted in yellow for ease of reveiw. Also, the King County Surface Water Design Manual provides that the proposal is exempt from drainage review per Sec’on 1.1.1. Please see the a*ached flow chart for determining drainage reveiew. Therefore, is it true that we can con’nue with the applica’on as proposed, without a capacity analysis of the exis’ng stormwater facility?] 3.I’ve aached a waiver form for you to include with your applica?on submial. [Response 3a by George: Thank you for the form. This will be included with the applica’on submi*al.] 4.When you formally submit, please make sure that the documents are named in accordance with our Electronic File Standards: hps://edocs.rentonwa.gov /Documents/DocView.aspx?id=940235&dbid=0&repo=CityofRenton [Response 4a by George: Thank you for the link and heads up.
