SUBJECT: Land Use Permit Modification Narrative, XXX Soquiam Ave NE (Parcel: 032305-9119) General,
Building a 5,458 square foot new Single Family Residence with attached 3 car garage, including site work and utility connections. The site is on public water and sewer. The area of the parcel is 48,351. The parcel is 255 feet wide by 190 feet deep.
Modification. The code section being modified is RMC4-6-060
Dedication of 2.5 feet is being proposed. Reason.
The modified right of way dedication is per guidance from City staff upon determining that the
existing right-of-way (ROW) dedication is appropriate for the existing road and projected improvements. The proposed residence will have very little impact on existing residences in terms of safety, function and access and requiring us to make those improvements would cause substantial financial burden.
Justification. a. The modification substantially meets the policy directives and objectives of the current City’s Comprehensive Plan. It is the minimum adjustments necessary to meet projected
future use requirements.
b. Similarly, the proposed right-of-way dedication will allow necessary safety, function and maintainability for future appropriate use of the roadway. c. The reduced dedication will not be injurious to adjacent properties. d. The reduced dedication will still allow all projected critical improvements for future
roadway design, and thus substantially conforms to the intent of the applicable roadway
design code and specifications. e. As noted above, it has been determined by City staff that the existing right of way is appropriate.

f. The reduced dedication will have no adverse effects on other properties in the vicinity.
Summary.
The modified right of way dedication will still meet City of Renton road improvements for
parcel: 032305-9119. While still allowing a good and reasonable new home to be constructed on the site. Questions relating to this narrative may be directed to me.
Sincerely,
Alexey Ancheyev
