TDSA ARCHITECTURE "Let us think that we buildforever.i June 12, 2014 City of Renton Chip Vincent Angela Wickstrom 1055 S Grady Way Renton, Washington 98057 Modification Request for: 906 N 37ili Street Renton Lot 7, Victoria Pointe Dear Chip and Angela, EXHIBIT 1 This letter is to request a modification of the City of Renton Building Guidelines in regards to "Residential Design Standards for Roofs" RMC 4-2-l 15F-3, from the 6:12 minimum standard to a flat roof design. A great deal of thought and effort has gone into the design of this home to not only meet the needs of the client but of the site as well. This lot has some significant design restraints created by easements and setbacks for a large drainage swale that was created to serve the Victoria Pointe Development. As a result the size of the house was reduced creating the need to maximize vertical space. It is for this reason that a flat roof was chosen. (See attached plans) We feel that the our proposed design is also in keeping with the style and character of the varied architectural neighborhood in which it is to be built. A survey of the close in neighborhood reveals several other new homes that wherein a flat roof design was selected that would augment our new home (see attached). It is our intent to design and build a new home in Renton that will further enhance the architectural character ofRenton's Lake Washington waterfront. Thank you for consideration of our project.
