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 site. The following comments are based on the pre-application submittal made to the City of Renton by the applicant. The applicant did not provide sufficient information to process a standard pre-application. The address supplied is inconsistent with the parcel number. The address for the parcel number is 134 Rainier Ave S. Water The subject development is within the water service area of the City of Renton and in the 196-presure zone. The site is not in the Aquifer Zone area. There is an existing 12” CI watermain in Rainier Ave S. See City of Renton water drawing W0020 for detailed engineering plans. There is an existing 8” DI water main on the south side of this site. See City of Renton water drawing W0577 for detailed engineering plans. The static water pressure at the street level is about 67 psi. The development is subject to the City’s water system development charges, per Renton Municipal Code (RMC4-1-180C), based on the size of the meter(s) and the size of the fire sprinkler stub, and also subject to applicable city plan review and inspection fees. Civil plans for any water main improvements shall be prepared by a professional engineer registered in the State of Washington and shall meet the city’s standards. The requirements of the project are not included here since the project was not defined. Sanitary Sewer There is an existing 6” (public) Vitrified Clay sanitary sewer main located on the site and along the full length of the east parking stalls. A commercial building permit will trigger a separate review. The applicant needs to show how this site will be served with commercial side sewer, with a minimum 6” diameter pipe. Any use in the building subject to oils or grease shall require the installation of a grease interceptor or oil/water separator as determined at the time of plan 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 12” storm pipe on the west side of Rainier Ave S in the vicinity of this parcel of land. A conceptual drainage plan and report is required to be submitted with the formal application for a commercial project. The project shall comply with the City of Renton Amendments to the 2009 King County Surface Water Design. 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. This project will be required to install curb, gutter, an 8-foot planter strip, and an 8-foot sidewalk along the full frontage of the parcel being developed. Street lighting, per City of Renton standards, will be required to be installed along the full frontage of the parcel being developed. Additional right-of-way may be required. All new electrical, phone, and cable services and lines must be undergrounded. Traffic Mitigation or Impact Fees may apply. 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.
