NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PROPOSED DETERMINATION OF
NON-SIGNIFICANCE-MITIGATED (DNS-M)
A Master Application has been filed and accepted with the Department of Community & Economic Development
(CED) – Planning Division of the City of Renton. The following briefly describes the application and the necessary
Public Approvals.
DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: August 18, 2015
LAND USE NUMBER: LUA15-000607, ECF
PROJECT NAME: Burnett Ave N. Storm System Improvements
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, the City of Renton, is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review to
replace and extend below ground stormwater system lines and catch basins. The project vicinity is located along N 30th
St between Burnett Ave N and Park Ave and along Burnett Ave N between N 30th St and N 32nd St within the
Residential-8 zone designation. The project would increase the capacity of the storm water drainage system and reduce
flooding at the local sag point on N 30th St near 1104 N 30th St by conveying runoff that would otherwise drain to an
undersized and difficult to maintain drainage system. Surrounding properties are single-family residences. The existing
line is approximately 180 linear feet in N 30th St. The replacement and new 12 to 18-inch diameter pipe would be
approximately 1,500 linear feet, covers a 13.5-acre drainage area and would connect with the existing storm system at
the intersection of N 32nd St and Burnett Ave N. Discharge is to Lake Washington and the discharge location would not
change. During construction, the street parking area would be used for storing construction equipment and materials
and access to local driveways would be maintained, except when construction needs to cross or block a driveway. All
disturbed streets and sidewalks would be restored to existing improvements and parking. The new conveyance system
would be in the public right-of-way in a trench approximately 5 feet wide and 4 to 9 feet deep. Approximately 1,500
cubic yards of soil is to be excavated. Backfill would be brought to the site. The slope of the pipe ranges from 1 to 12
percent. There are no critical areas in the area except a small area of sensitive slopes in the street right-of-way at the
addresses 1003 and 1007 N 30th St. No trees would be impacted. A Geotechnical Report, Environmental Checklist, and
preliminary plan and profile were provided.
PROJECT LOCATION: City ROW in the following Streets:
N 30th St (900-1100 Block)
Burnett Ave N (3000-3200Block)
OPTIONAL DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE, MITIGATED (DNS-M): As the Lead Agency, the City of Renton has
determined that significant environmental impacts are unlikely to result from the proposed project. Therefore, as
permitted under the RCW 43.21C.110, the City of Renton is using the Optional DNS-M process to give notice that a
DNS-M is likely to be issued. Comment periods for the project and the proposed DNS-M are integrated into a single
comment period. There will be no comment period following the issuance of the Threshold Determination of Non-
Significance-Mitigated (DNS-M). This may be the only opportunity to comment on the environmental impacts of the
proposal. A 14-day appeal period will follow the issuance of the DNS-M.
