NAME
2621 Meadow Pl N
Lot Size 10080 square feet
Lower Kennydale Neighborhood in Renton, Washington
This remodel project will require a general Residential Building Permit along with all the
associated permits for a Single Family Residence project including Plumbing, Electrical,
Low-voltage, Gas piping and Fire Sprinkler system. The zoning for this property and all
surrounding lots is R-8 currently under an interim zoning ordinance No. 5724. It is
currently, and will continue to be used as a single family residence with a house and
carport built in 1960.
We are proposing to remodel an existing house by primarily adding a two-car garage to
the North. This addition will have a garage to the East and a kitchen area to the West.
There is a gradual slope to the West on the property which will provide a daylight
basement room, and we are planning to put a second story above the garage/kitchen
for a master bedroom and offices. The scope of the remodel will include changing the
existing house structure removing a “mid-level” floor (approx. 400 sq.ft.) and putting a
new roof on the house. There will be a fire sprinkler system installed throughout, along
with upgrades and retrofitting as per engineering specifications. Prior to the completion
of the remodel, the existing carport and attached shed will be removed.
An initial estimate of the cost for this remodel project is around $225,000 including the
addition of a new water line from the public street. These costs will be effected by any
additional engineering requirements not currently being considered. The value of the
structure when completed should be between $750-799,000 under current market
conditions.
There no particular special features on this site with regards to steep slopes, wetlands,
stream, vegetation or soil conditions. The soil is typical for the area with some clay and
sandy loam which absorbs water and drains easily. There are a few trees of size on the
property, but none that should be affected by our addition as far as we can tell without
knowing their root structure. There is no plan to remove any trees at this time. No fill
will be involved in this remodel, a small amount (5-10 yards) of soil may be removed
during excavation of the foundation.
The property is accessed by a private drive (Meadow Place North) and is located at the
end of that drive, just over 400 feet from the main street (Meadow Avenue North).
There is no plan to provide public rite of way improvements due to being at the end of
a private drive. A new water line will be required to provide sufficient water for a whole
house sprinkler system.
