Those requirements are outlined below for Residential Access Street Standards: Transportation Comment excerpt from the Pre-Application Meeting Notes dated 10/21/21. Please refer to the Modification Exhibit attached to aid in the following discussion. Lacey Seattle Engineering & Planning 14900 Interurban Ave. S Suite 279 Seattle, WA 98168-4635 Ph: 206.674.4659 Fx: 206.674.4660 www.patrickharron.com DocuSign Envelope ID: B58AD446-584F-46BF-8420-90761B7E491E Shum Short Plat Modification Page 2 of 2 \\PHA-S19A\Company\Projects & Project Data\2021\21807_Shum Residence - Renton\Drawing\Outgoing\City\2021.12.10_SP Submittal\#7_Modification - Pierce ROW\6_21807_Shum SP_Frontage Modification Request.docx Modification Request: Pierce Ave NE along the project frontage currently does not meet Residential Access Street Standards. Within this subject area, is a row of significant and mature trees that would need to be removed with the standard improvements. The addition of paved road section required (13‐ ft from 53‐ft right‐of‐way centerline) would mean removal of ten of the eleven significant trees within this area. Based on feedback received during the Pre‐Application meeting, City Staff would support a modification to keep the existing road pavement section as‐is and provide a larger planter area to retain as many trees as possible. This would meet the City’s objective and goals for this type of development. Justification for the Modification Request (Form M Item #6): a. Substantially implements the policy direction of the policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and the Community Design Element and the proposed modification is the minimum adjustment necessary to implement these policies and objectives; Response: The property is located within the Residential‐8 (R‐8) Zone. The proposed modification does not conflict with any design regulations and or design elements. The proposed modification will achieve Comprehensive Plan objective (Policy U‐36) by promoting tree retention to the maximum extent feasible. b. Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment; Response: The proposed modification would result in improvements that is better suited to meet the City’s objectives than the standard improvements. More trees would be retained which would enhance safety (buffer to pedestrians on sidewalk), function, appearance, environmental protection, and maintainability (less road, storm, infrastructure, etc.). In our opinion, the proposed improvements meet the objectives intended by Code requirements based upon sound engineering judgment. c. Will not be injurious to other property(ies) in the vicinity; Response: It is unlikely that the proposed improvements will be injurious to other properties in the vicinity. d. Conforms to the intent and purpose of the Code; Response: Please refer to response to item ‘b’ above. e. Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and Response: Addressed in previous responses.
