Subject: Project Narrative (Modification Request)
Dear Administrator:
This letter serves as the project narrative for the proposed 3 lot short plat for a new single-family
development. The project is located at 3605 NE 7th Street, Renton, WA. The existing site consists
of 1 parcel (K.C. Parcel 8011100135) totaling approximately 0.64-acres that is zoned R-8 by the
City of Renton. Currently, the parcel is developed with a single-family residence, a detached garage
and associated site improvements all of which will be demolished during site construction.
The north boundary of the site fronts NE 7th St. The site is accessed from NE 7th St. by a
proposed 20-ft. wide asphalt pavement private access constructed along the eastern boundary of
the site. The proposed 3 lots will be accessed directly from the proposed private access which
will be complete with a branch turnaround for emergency vehicle access. The project is required
to construct frontage improvements to the south side of NE 7th St. that consist of a 16-ft. wide
half-street, new cement concrete curb and gutter, 8-ft. landscape planter strip, and 5-ft. wide
cement concrete sidewalk. The proposed private access will connect to NE 7th St. by a new 20-
ft. wide Type R1B cement concrete driveway entrance. The NE 7th St. project frontage totals
approximately 96-ft. See plan sheets C1-C2 which provide overall site and frontage
improvement information.
The smallest proposed lot is approximately 6,008 sq. ft. while the largest is approximately 8,248 sq.
ft. Although, conceptual building plans are not included, the developer will construct single-family
home products in accordance with the City of Renton’s Community Design Guidelines and are
anticipated to be mid-upper income levels.
The development will connect to City of Renton public utilities which has water, sewer, and storm
availability within the right-of-way of NE 7th Street and NE 7th Place.
Our schematic site plan is based on the following and intended to meet City Code:
Minimum Front Setback: 20-feet.
Minimum Rear Setback: 20-feet.
Minimum Side Setback: 5-feet.
Minimum Lot Width: 60-feet based on underlying plat.
Minimum Lot Depth: 80-feet.
Minimum Lot Size: 6,000 sq. ft. based on underlying plat.
