NOTE: The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary is preliminary and non-binding and may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official city decision-makers.
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. The following comments are based on the pre-application submittal made to the City of Renton.
Water
1. Water service will be provided by the City of Renton. There is a 6-inch steel water main in N. 24th Street. Available fire flow from the 6-inch water main is 750 gpm which is sufficient
for domestic service.
2. All new construction must have a fire hydrant capable of delivering a minimum of 1,000 gpm and must be located within 300 feet of all structures. There is a fire hydrant attached
to an 8-inch water main in the vicinity that may be counted towards the fire protection of this project, but is subject to verification for being within 300 feet of the nearest corner
of all buildings. The fire hydrant location is subject to and will require fire department approval for being sufficient for the proposed short plat.
3. Existing hydrant(s) counted as fire protection will be required to be retrofitted with a 5” quick disconnect storz fitting if not already in place.
4. System development fees for water will be based on the size of each new domestic water meter that will serve the new homes on each new lot. Since the new homes will be required to
be sprinklered, a minimum of a 1-inch water meter will be required to serve each home. Fee for a 1-inch meter is $5,589.00. The existing home at 1415 – N. 24th Street is served by
a ¾” water meter. Partial credit will be given for the existing home.
5. Fee for a 1-inch meter installed by the city is $2,430.00.
Sanitary Sewer
1. Sewer service will be provided by the City of Renton. There is an 8-inch sewer main in N. 24th Street.
2. System development fees for sewer are based on the size of the new domestic waters to serve the new homes on the new lots. Sewer fees for a 1-inch water meter are $3, 977.00. Partial
credit will be given for the existing home. Payment of these fees will be required prior to issuance of the utility construction permit.
Storm Drainage
1. There are no storm drainage improvements in the area.
2. A drainage plan and drainage report will be required with the site plan application. The report shall comply with the 2009 King County Surface Water Manual and the 2009 City of
Renton Amendments to the KCSWM, Chapter 1 and 2. All core and any special requirements shall be contained in the report. Based on the city’s flow control map, this site falls within
the Flow Control Duration Standard, Existing Site Conditions. The drainage report will need to follow the area specific flow control requirements under Core Requirement #3.
3. A geotechnical report for the site is required. Information on the water table and soil permeability with recommendations of appropriate flow control BMP options with typical designs
for the site from the geotechnical engineer shall be submitted with the application.
4. A Construction Stormwater Permit from Department of Ecology is required if clearing and grading of the site exceeds one acre.
5. Surface Water System Development fees are $1,012 per each new lot. Credit will be given for the existing home. This is payable prior to issuance of the construction permit.
Transportation/Street
1. There are no existing street improvements fronting the site in N 24th Street. Existing right-of-way width in N. 24th Street is 30 feet. To meet the City’s minimum street standards,
up to seven feet will be required to be dedicated to the city for additional right-of-way along the project side. Street improvements fronting the site will include a minimum pavement
width of 18 feet, an 8-foot planting strip, and 5-foot sidewalk. This will provide a road section of 31 feet. Internal roadway shall be a minimum pavement width of 20 feet. Final
street improvements will be determined at preliminary site approval. Since there are no street improvements in the area, an application requesting a waiver may be submitted to the City
for consideration.
2. Street lighting is not required.
3. Current traffic mitigation fees are $717.75 per new single-family lot. Credit will be given to the existing home. These fees are payable prior to recording of the plat. A fee increase
has been proposed to Council, although a timeline on amount and implementation of a new fee schedule has not yet been determined.
General Comments
1. All construction utility permits for drainage and street improvements will require separate plan submittals. All utility plans shall conform to the Renton Drafting Standards. Plans
shall be prepared by a licensed Civil Engineer.
When the utility plans are complete, please submit three (3) copies of the drawings, two (2) copies of the drainage report, permit application and an itemized cost of construction estimate
and application fee at the counter on the sixth floor.
All subdivisions shall provide water, sewer, and storm stubs to each new lot prior to recording of the plat.
