During our review, staff has determined that additional information is necessary in order to proceed further.
The following information will need to be submitted before June 20, 2020 so that we may continue the review of

Services (dated October 17, 2017) for the effectiveness of any proposed mitigating measures or programs, as
allowed by RMC 4-3-050F.6. The contract would be executed with a qualified professional from the City of
Renton’s small works roster in order to provide a geotechnical opinion regarding the proposed improvements. No
subsurface explorations would be conducted. Upon the conclusion of third party study review, the findings would
be provided to the City in a written letter. The Independent Secondary Review would be paid at the applicant’s
expense, and the Administrator shall select the third-party review professional.
The applicant shall also be responsible for following:

the R-8 zone after the required Native Growth Protection tract on the western portion of the site is
applied.
