PROJECT NUMBER: LUA20-000235, B20004564
PROJECT MANAGER: Nathan Janders, Civil Engineer II
APPLICANT: Yuriy Labaz
ZONING CLASSIFICATION: Residential-4 du/ac (R-4)
PROJECT LOCATION: 1306 Hoquiam Ave NE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Pursuant to RMC 4-9-250D, the applicant is requesting an Administrative Modification from RMC
4-6-060 to modify the street standard along this portion of Hoquiam Avenue NE from a Collector
Arterial to an alternative street section that includes a 36-foot paved roadway (consisting of two
10-foot travel lanes and an 8-foot parking lane on each side of the roadway), a 0.5-foot curb, an
8-foot plating strip, a 5-foot sidewalk with a 1-foot clear space at the back of sidewalk, street
trees and storm drainage improvements.
BACKGROUND:
Hoquiam AVE NE is classified as a Collector Arterial street with an existing right-of-way width of
60 feet per the King County Assessor’s Map. The existing roadway pavement width is
approximately 32 feet. There are no existing frontage improvements along this portion of
Hoquiam Ave NE. However, along the west side of Hoquiam Avenue NE, south of NE 12th Street,
the proposed modified Collector street section has been implemented.
Per RMC 4-6-060, Complete Street Standards, a Collector Arterial street requires a minimum
right-of-way width of 83 feet. A paved roadway width of 46 feet consisting of two 10-foot travel
lanes, two 5-foot bike lanes and two 8-foot parking lanes is required. A 0.5-foot curb, 8-foot
planter, and 8-foot sidewalk are required along each side of the pavement. To meet the City’s
Complete Street Standards, right-of-way dedication of approximately 11.5 feet would be
required to install the Collector Arterial street standard.
