Hearing Examiner
City of Renton
1055 South Grady Way
Renton, WA 98057
SUBJECT: Request for Extension Grant Avenue Townhomes Preliminary Plat and PUD
(LUA15-000885 and LUA17-000335)
Dear Mr. Olbrechts,
This office has received a request from the applicant (September 26, 2022) to extend an existing, approved
Planned Urban Development and Preliminary Plat (File Nos. LUA15-000885 and LUA17-000335) for a period of
one (1) year. The Preliminary Planned Urban Development and Preliminary Plat for the Grant Avenue Townhomes
project was approved on May 31, 2016 and the Final Planned Urban Development was approved on August 3,
2017. In accordance with RMC 4-9-150G.1.b, the Preliminary Planned Urban Development and Preliminary Plat is
valid for five (5) years and any extensions granted for the Preliminary Plat are also applicable to the Planned Urban
Development. On April 20, 2020, the Renton City Council adopted an ordinance (Ordinance No. 5968) that
temporarily extended the validity of certain permits by a period of six (6) months due to on-going construction
challenges created by the COVID-19 outbreak. On October 28, 2021, the City approved an administrative one (1)
year extension requested by the applicant pursuant to RMC 4-7-080L.2. The current Preliminary Plat would expire
on November 30, 2022. Pursuant to RMC 4-7-080L.3, one (1) additional one-year extension beyond the one-year
extension may be granted by the Hearing Examiner if the applicant shows need caused by unusual circumstances
or situations that occurred during the prior extension period, which make it unduly burdensome to file the final
plat.
In the extension request the applicant identifies five (5) primary reasons why this project should be granted an
extension, 1) Impacts of COVID-19; 2) Errors in the approved plans, 3) Errors in water line installation, 4) Potholing
and design of utilities to cross Grant Ave., and 5) SEPA mitigation measures restricting the construction window.
Item 1 is a consistent challenge not unique to this project, all constructions sites and businesses have been
impacted by COVID-19 as such, the City Passed Emergency ORD 5968 granting an automatic extension for all land
use permit including the subject project. The letter does not identify why COVID-19 was more impactful to their
project than others and therefore does not meet the standard set for an extension. Items 2 – 4, are related to self
Mr. Olbrechts

imposed errors either in their own design plans and/or construction, the applicant’s inability to produce high
quality accurate plans and construction of a site pursuant to Renton standards necessitating redesign, re-review,
and/or in field potholing, does not constitute an unusual circumstance or situation. In addition, the following
items noted occurred prior to the beginning of the previous extension:
• The water meters were originally designed to be outside of the public alley per City standards but were
found in October 2021 to be constructed within the public alley. Within a week, the contractor was
shifting the water meters to their approved location and elevations. No revised plans were needed for
this adjustment.
• The extension request refers to the redesign of the water meter locations and construction of the concrete
boxes around the water meters. This was a separate incident that occurred in March 2021 when it was
also found the water meters were not being constructed outside of the public alley and driveways which
was caused by the encroachment of the building foundations that were not taken into account as part of
the original design. The City worked with the applicant and approved a design adjustment to the meter
boxes in April 2021 to address the conflict.
• Through the review of the water meter location and elevations noted directly above, the City notified the
applicant in April 2021 that the constructed buildings along the eastern most alley were higher than the
original design and requested that the applicant review the grading of the alley. Following their review,
the applicant submitted revised plans in mid-May 2021 to address the grading discrepancy and the revised
plan was approved in early June 2021.
• Pothole and surveying of existing utilities within Grant Avenue occurred in late December 2020 for the
installation of the water main. At that time, it was found that there were multiple conflicts with the
proposed water main locations and the existing utilities. The applicant submitted revised plans to address
the conflicts and the City approved the revised plan in early January 2021. Please note that a survey of
the existing utilities in Grant Avenue for the storm drainage connection was only required by the City after
the contractor had damaged the existing pipe in April 2022 and it was found to be in conflict with the
proposed storm water connection pipe. Plans for the revised storm drainage connection was approved
in June 2022, less than a week after it was submitted.
Item 5, which limits site grading work in the wet season is a mitigation measure applied to the subject project
through the SEPA review process, this is a known condition that has been in place since project approval, therefore
this does not meet the standards set for an extension. Of the five (5) items listed in the extension letter, none
meet the requirements under RMC 4-7-080L.3 to grant an extension for this project.
Furthermore, it should be noted that the applicant within the last year has prioritized construction of the building
improvements resulting in very little progress on the civil construction permit improvements, which are required
to be completed for final plat approval and recording. In addition, the project has been repeatedly interrupted by
self-created construction and project management deficiencies as a result of priorizing building improvements
(see enclosed construction inspection log). If the extension is granted, the city does not anticipate that the project
will complete civil construction permit improvements within the next year unless the applicant is required to

prioritize completion of the civil improvements. Therefore, if the Hearing Examiner grants the extension, the City
requests the following new and revised conditions be added:
1. New Condition 33: The civil construction improvements approved as part of the Civil Construction Permit
(U16004475) shall be completed and approved by the Development Engineering Project Manager and the
final plat shall be recorded with King County prior to construction of the remaining portion of the building
improvements except foundation construction and those required to make the partially-constructed
structures watertight as approved by the City Building Official.
2. New Condition 34: The applicant shall provide a detailed project schedule for the remainder of the work.
The project schedule should include specific tasks, dates, and contractors utilized, and should be provided
to the Development Engineering Project Manager by December 16, 2022. This schedule shall be adhered
to and milesones met or the permit shall expire.
3. New Condition 35: Vehicular circulation route around the perimeter of the site shall be a private looped
alley overlayed with a public access and utilities easement, in lieu of the previously-approved public alley.
4. New Condition 36: Applicant shall maintain an organized and clean site free of construction debris. If the
site is not maintained in this manner, the permit shall expire.
5. The following condition is only requested to be revised to address the request to change the alley from
public to private per the New Condition 35 requested above. Revised Hearing Examiner Condition #23:
“The applicant shall revise the utility plan to relocate the sewer line from the pedestrian courtyard to the
public private looped alley. The revised utility plan shall be submitted to, and approved by, the Plan
Reviewer prior to engineering permit approval.”
Sincerely,
Vanessa Dolbee

10/24/2022. Erosion Control ; There was a Hydraulic/Diesel fuel spill today at Grant Ave Townhomes.
One of the dump trucks going down the North driveway ran over rebar that punctured the tank on the
truck and began leaking. The driver put out absorbent pads and the contractor pushed material to
keep the liquid from leaving the site. The amount spilled was approximately 5 gallons of
diesel/hydraulic fluid. They have scraped off approximately 5 yards of material that they are placing on
plastic, covering with more plastic, and will be removing with a vac truck tomorrow. The
Superintendent has been told numerous times about having the cement concrete workers clean-up
the rebar and debris from the roadways on site, but it has not been done. Also called Nathan at the
shops to let him know and talked to DOE about the spill. Told DOE of the plan to remove the material
and dispose of it and they were fine with that. Contractor continues working on buildings. They will
block the roadway on the North side to prevent vehicles driving over the water line because it does not
have the appropiate cover to protect it.

dirt around job site. Contractor has tried to block road to unload a machine and have a truck back onto
the site, both with no trafffic control. I have told them this will not happen without certified flaggers and
proper signage. Talked to Super about making sure our water main line has 3' of cover. They wanted
to wait until the foundation next to the line was poured before adding material over the line. I told him
that cannot happen as the trucks and equipment going over the water line could be damaged and
that they need to survey in the cover to make sure it is adequate.

wet weather season and to get it done as soon as possible. Also told them they need to survey in the
area in front of Building #1 where the material is only 18" above the water line, so we can make sure
we get the correct cover.

connect to it. Site superintendent left at approx. 9:30am to pick some up. Contractor started building
the valve clusters that the COR water crew will use to cut into the city water main. I checked the meter
setter heights at 12:30pm and found that 33 of the 36 were not up to specification. Asked contractor
about it and they said they were not going to adjust them until the plumber shows up to install the tail
piece to the setter. Contractor has left the site at 1:00pm. Cement concrete boxes have still not been

spalls which 1 operator is placing on the East side of the vault. There is a footing drain installed on
the North side of the vault, but nothing yet on the East. I call Scott Mitchell (COR Building Inspector) to
inform him of work around the vault .Contractor said the mirror drains will be installed to the outside
of the vault on Thursday. I asked Scott if the form nails on the outside of the vault need to be removed
before the drains are installed and he said yes. This has not been done on any side yet. Owner
representative on site and I tell him about the needed traffic control plan. Heavy rain has caused dirty
water to begin leaving the site. I tell contractor they need to fix problem. The operator digs a channel
across the entrance and the workers place a straw waddle in the curb line to address erosion
issues. Bob from PSE shows up on site at this time and tells contractor they should not be digging
because their locates are out of date. They have not been renewed since March 1. Gary has left the
site and leaves the operator and 2 workers to flag for the trucks that will continue to bring quarry
spalls, which are now going to be stockpiled on site. Vault contractors are working on removing forms
and scaffolding from inside the vault. 1:45pm: Truck and trailer on site and only 1 flagger to work
roadway. I called Gary to ask him about it and he said he did not know why there were not 2. Asked
about the traffic control plan again and he said he was in contact with Ethan (COR Traffic) to get it
done. No other work is being done on site.

clean the water leaving the site. They are also starting to implement the de-watering plan that was
sent in by Gary (Prime Contractor).

Contractor is not working on the site today. They have installed the fencing across the construction
entrance to close it off. Some of the exposed material has been covered with plastic and sand bags,
but there is still areas that have not been done. Silt fence along the construction entrance still needs
to be repaired, and there is water coming from the construction entrance and the NW corner of the
vault that is leaving the site and going into the catch basins on Grant Ave. The water will need to be
tested for NTU's.
