BACKGROUND: The applicant is constructing a new home to replace the existing one that was lost to a fire in February of 2017. RMC 4-10-050 allows for legally established single family dwellings to be rebuilt to its same size, location and height if a building permit is applied for within one (1) year of the fire; the applicant made a complete building permit application in December of 2018. The applicant has endured personal legal difficulty and non-responsive contractors, both of which played a role in submission of the building permit application extending beyond 1 year from date of fire. In addition, the applicants insurance is not providing coverage for utility undergrounding other than the individual service to the home. The applicant is proposing to construct a new home that is similar in design, size and shape to the original home while also installing all other code required frontage improvements (curb, gutter, planting strip and sidewalk) along 160th Avenue SE. EXHIBITS: Exhibit 1: Site Plan ANALYSIS OF REQUEST: The Section 4-6-060Q.1 allows the Administrator to grant modifications provided the modifications meet the following criteria (pursuant to RMC 4-9-250D.2): DocuSign Envelope ID: 216803C4-31FC-416E-9788-D43F31966207 City of Renton Department of Community and Economic Development Admin. Modification Request Report & Decision Roppe SFR – STREET MODIFICATION LUA20-000260, B20003316 Report of November 13, 2020 Page 2 of 3 Compliance Street Modification Criteria and Analysis Compliant if condition of approval is met a. Substantially implements the policy direction of the policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and the Community Design Element and the proposed modification is the minimum adjustment necessary to implement these policies and objectives; Staff Comment: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element has applicable policies listed under a separate section labeled Promoting a Safe, Healthy, and Attractive Community.

The proposed project will install a planting strip and sidewalk, which provides the benefit of a safe and walkable pathway. Although the street modification does not provide the aesthetic allure of removing existing overhead utilities, City Staff recognizes that the Applicant: • Would have been granted relief if a building permit application had been submit within 1 year of the fire, • Has shown to be making a reasonable effort to obtain the necessary permits, and • Will be installing curb, gutter, planting strip and sidewalk in accordance with complete streets standards. In addition, City Staff acknowledges that the modification provides the minimum adjustment necessary to implement the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element. In order to facilitate undergrounding of this system in the future, Staff recommends as conditions of approval that (1) the new and existing services to the property are undergrounded, and (2) that the existing pole is located within the proposed planting strip, which may require the pole to be relocated.
