SHORELINE EXEMPTION PERMIT
PROJECT NARRATIVE
The project is located in the Southwest portion of Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park in Renton, Parcel
ID: 3344500775. The project consists of removing and replacing 16-year old play equipment and safety
surfacing within the existing ~14,000 sq ft playground location.
The basis for the exemption request is “Normal maintenance or repair of existing structure or
developments”. Demolition and construction are estimated to begin on or near September 8, 2020. No
other permits are anticipated for the project.
Both the current and proposed use of the site is a play area with multiple pieces of play equipment. The
replacement will occur within the existing play area footprint, inside the concrete sidewalk surrounding
the play area. The area is approximately 55 feet from the shoreline of Lake Washington. The area is
sloped to drain to the West to an existing drainage collector line, as shown on the attached drainage
plan.
The total estimated cost for design, materials, removal and replacement of the play equipment and
safety surfacing is $500,000-600,000. No excavation or fill is anticipated. No trees will be removed. The
project location is approximately 55 feet from the shoreline of Lake Washington to the West, and the
shoreline in that location is a bulkhead. The project location is approximately 55 feet from the shoreline
of Lake Washington to the Northeast, and the shoreline in that location is a promenade.
