EVALUATION FORM & DECISION
PROJECT NAME: Gill SFR
PROJECT NUMBER: LUA21-000051, B20-003694
PROJECT MANAGER: Nathan Janders, Civil Engineer II
APPLICANT: Kevin Singh
ZONING CLASSIFICATION: R8-Residential (8 DU/AC)
PROJECT LOCATION: 427 Windsor Way NE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Pursuant to RMC 4-9-250D, the applicant is requesting an Administrative Modification from RMC
4-6-060 - Street Standards to modify Windsor Way NE to maintain the existing street section.
BACKGROUND:
Windsor Way NE is classified as a Residential access 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. The existing frontage along Windsor Way NE includes a 6 foot sidewalk,
curb and gutter.
Per RMC 4-6-060, Complete Street Standards, a Residential Access street requires a minimum
right-of-way width of 53 feet. A minimum paved roadway width of 26 feet consisting of two 10-
foot travel lanes and one 6-foot parking lane is required. A 0.5-foot curb, 8-foot planter, and 5-
foot sidewalk are required along each side of the pavement. To meet the City’s Complete Street
Standards and retain the existing curbline, right-of-way dedication would be required to install
the 8-foot planter and 5-foot sidewalk behind the existing curb.
The proposed residence is in a developed neighborhood that includes a 6-foot sidewalk that is
non-conforming with current sidewalk standards. The existing roadway meets the requirement
for an emergency access roadway (20-foot paved roadway width with an approved fire access
turnaround).
