Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. I have completed a preliminary review for the above-referenced proposal to demolish the outdoor playplace, construct an enclosed playplace, install a dual lane drive-thru and re-route service utilities (as needed). The project also includes the construction of asphalt paved parking lot areas, all in Section 3, Township 23N, Range 5E. The following comments are based on the pre-application submittal made to the City of Renton by the applicant. Water The subject development is within the water service area of the City of Renton and in the 565-presure zone. The static pressure is approximately 73 psi at the street level. There is an existing 8” DI water main located in Anacortes Ave NE. See City of Renton water drawing # W1474 for detailed engineering plans. The City records show that the site has a 1” irrigation meter and a 1 ½ domestic water meter. Per the City of Renton Fire Department, the preliminary fire flow requirement is 1,500 gpm, based on a fully fire sprinklered building. One fire hydrant is required within 150-feet of the proposed building, and one hydrant is required within 300 feet. The existing fire hydrants need to be per current code, with a Stortz quick connect fitting if not existing (records indicate that they do not have the Stortz fitting). An approved fire sprinkler system is required throughout the building. The project can either install an inside DDCVA or an external DDCVA. There are specific requirements on both systems. If you design for an inside DDCVA, one of the requirements is that it be installed in a room with an external door. If you install the DDCVA outside it needs to be located within 50’ of a fire hydrant. This may mean the installation of an additional fire hydrant to meet the 50’ requirement. System Development Charges (SDC) are based on any and all water meters. These fees are only triggered if there is an increase in size and or number of water meters. There is a Fire service Fee triggered by the size of the fire service lines. These fees are collected at the time a construction permit is issued. Civil plans for the water main improvements shall be prepared by a professional engineer registered in the State of Washington and shall meet the City’s standards. Sanitary Sewer There is an existing 12” concrete sanitary sewer main located in NE Sunset Blvd. The new project needs to show how the existing sanitary sewer service from the sewer to the building will be in relation to the new 2nd drive thru. The new design needs to show how the area around the existing trash enclosure for this site is handling surface water runoff and what it is tied to (sewer main or storm). The plans need to show if there is an existing system at the trash enclosure, and whether it will be capped or re-routed, and how. City records show that there is an existing 6” PVC sewer from building to stub at Sunset Blvd. The new project shall install a new grease interceptor in accordance with the current UPC. A commercial building permit will trigger a separate review. System Development Charges (SDC) are based on any and all domestic water meters. These fees are collected at the time a construction permit is issued. Storm Drainage There is an existing 15” storm sewer pipe located in Anacortes Ave NE. See City of Renton drawing R1474. There is an existing 12” storm sewer pipe located in NE Sunset Blvd. See City of Renton drawing R1492. There is an existing 72” CMP arch culver located diagonal from the southwest corner of the site to the southeast corner of the existing structure, to and across Anacortes Ave NE. See City of Renton drawing R-1147 for engineering details. The amount of new and/or replaced impervious surface area will determine what drainage review requirements are triggered under the City of Renton amendments. The Surface Water SDC fees are $0.405 per square foot of new impervious area. These fees are collected at the time a construction permit is issued. Street Improvements Construction of a commercial building will trigger a separate review. General Comments All required utility, drainage, and street improvements will require separate plan submittals prepared according to City of Renton drafting standards, by a licensed Civil Engineer. All plans shall be tied to a minimum of two of the City of Renton Horizontal and Vertical Control Network. Permit application must include an itemized cost estimate for these improvements. Half of the fee must be paid upon application for building and construction permits, and the remainder when the permits are issued. There will be additional fees for water service related expenses.
