Renton Municipal Code allows fences to be four feet (4') in height for side yards along a street. Fences are further restricted to 3.5 feet in height in the clear vision area or the corner of a lot. The applicant was advised via a letter on November 6, 2007 to revise the application to meet specified conditions regarding fence height and location, and to provide a detailed landscape plan that would limit the height of vegetation to 42-inches in the Clear Vision Area. The applicant submitted revised fence plans on November 20, 2007. The proposed cedar fence has been redesigned to be 42-inches in height along the corner of the lot in the Clear Vision Area; 48-inches in height for the first 10 feet of the fence as it runs parallel along both NE 4th Street and Jericho Avenue NE; and 72-inches in height for the remainder of the fence. In addition, a revised landscaped plan has been provided for the area in front (or the "streetside" area) of the fence. The applicant proposes a combination of shrubs (1 and 2 gallon size) along the fence including: Azalea 'Hino Crimson' (Hino crimson azalea), Berberis thunbergii 'Crimson Pygmy' (Crimson pygmy barberry), Erica carnea (Springwood Pink Heather), and Viburnum davidii. At maturity, the proposed plantings would achieve heights that would not exceed the top of the fence as proposed.

Unlike most of the heaths, this species will tolerate slightly alkaline soils. Best flowering occws in full stm, but plants gcneraUy appreciate some part afternoon shade in hot St Louis summers.. In order to achieve sharp soil drainage, heaths are sometimes planted in raised beds. A void heavy clay soils. In St. Louis, plants should be covered in Wlnter with mulch ( e.g., evergreen boughs or straw). Heaths will bloom under snow in the northern areas of their growing range. Jf pruning is needed, it must be done immediately after tlowering. Plants like cool summer climates and are not recommended for growing south of USDA Zone 7 Noteworthy Cllaracticristics: Erica carnea, commonly called winter heath, is a low-growing, evergreen shrub that is primarily native to the Alps in Emope. It typically grows in a mound to &-.9" (less frequently to 12") tall, slowly spreading along the ground by procumbent stems to zo~ or more. Over time, well-sited plants will form a dense ground cover. Needle--like me.dium green leaves (tn l/ 4" long) are in whorls of four. No fall color. 'Sherwood Pink' features um-shaped, pure pink blooms (1/4" long) in one-sided racemes (to 3" long) from January to March. Medium green foliage is bronze tipped. Erica camea has additional oommon names, including snow heath (may bloom in snow), spring heath (may bloom in early spring) a'ld alpine heath (mountainous native habitat). Specific epithet means flesh colored in reference to the flesh pink flower color. It is in the same fwnily as and closely related to Scotch heather (see Calluna vulgaris at C272 herein). Erica carnca is synonymous with and fonnerly known as Erica herbacea_ Problems: No serious inse.ct or disease problems. Root rot may occur in poorly drained soils.

Given the high volume of traffic at this intersection, fence height along the comer where the fence runs diagonal from NE 4'" to Jericho must be reduced to 42' inches in height, regardless if the fence is outside of the clear vision area (as per the site plan). For increased privacy trees or other landscaping elements can be placed on the inside of the fence, on the lot, but the fence height cannot exceed 42". 2. For the first 10 feet of the fence as it runs parallel along both NE 4'" and Jericho, fence height shall be reduced to 48", after which it maybe increased to 72". Please see the enclosed drawing for further explanation. 3. A landscape plan must be provided to the Development Services project manager, which includes landscaping for the area on the outside of the fence. Landscaping shall be limited to groundcover and shrubs, and in no case shall the height of a plant exceed 42". According to RMC 4-4-040C.4 where a traffic vision hazard is created, such as at this intersection, the City may require a modification to the height limitations and location of fences to the degree necessary to eliminate the hazard. An inspection will take place on December 18, 2007 to verify that all conditions have been met. This administrative decision will become final if not appealed to the Hearing Examiner by 5 :00 p.m. on November 20, 2007. Appeals must be filed in writing, together with the required $75.00 application fee, to: Hearing Examiner, City of Renton, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057. -------,-05_5_S_o_uth_G_ra_d_y_W_a_y __ -R-en_t_on-,-W-as_h_i-ng-to-n-98_0_5_7 ______ -~ AHEAD OF THE CURVE , James Kerby November 6, 2007 Page 2 of2 Please contact the project manager Ms. Petzel, or Jennifer Henning at (425) 430-7200 if you have any questions.

CODE-RELATED COMMENTS //.J&W We have reviewed this application with particular attention to those areas in which we have expertise and have identified areas of probable impact or areas where additional information is needed to properly assess this proposal. October 22, 2007 These comments pertain to file number LUA07-121, concerning a request for variance from the City-Wide Property Development Standards for a fence on the southwest corner lot of the intersection of NE 4th Street and Jericho Ave. The fence, even at the allowable forty-two-inch height in the clear vision area, presents a traffic safety hazard to automobiles northbound on Jericho Ave, especially those turning left. The speed limit on NE 4th Street is 35 mph, but traffic frequently exceeds the posted limit. The street is popular with drivers who disregard red traffic lights. A pole, located on the sidewalk, to support traffic lights, impedes northbound drivers' view of eastbound traffic. Additionally, political signs are placed there for several months during each election season. The net effect of the fence, pole, and signs is that northbound drivers can expect to see eastbound vehicles no more than two seconds prior to those vehicles entering the intersection, at typical eastbound speeds. Especially considering the number of Hazen High School students driving to school through this intersection, this is an inadequate warning of vehicles violating the red light. I have attached photos taken from the driver's seat at the normal stopping position for northbound automobiles in the left lane of Jericho Ave, and of the eastbound view of that spot. I request that the variance from 4-4-040 FENCES AND HEDGES be disallowed. I further request that all newly-constructed portions of fence along the property line be removed, in the interest of traffic safety. Only the fence previously installed by the developer should remain. While I understand that the property owner will not enjoy the privacy of a solid fence, this restriction is the result of a choice to locate the house in that position. It was obvious to any reasonable person that a portion of the lot would be inappropriate for fencing. As the house was being constructed, my wife and I commented that we hoped that the buyer had received a significant discount, because of the inability to have a privacy fence on the corner. If the property owner assumed that they would be able to fence the yard without restriction, they failed to perform a "due diligence" investigation. Traffic safety should not suffer as a result. It is worth noting that the City of Renton would likely be a defendant in any lawsuit involving collisions between eastbound and northbound vehicles at this intersection, as would the property owner. I request that I be advised of the time and place of the variance hearing. If the party requesting the variance is allowed to make oral comments, I request that I be permitted the same privilege. I also request that I be advised of the results of the hearing. Thank you. 4~~ Andrew J.

WA 98040 Cel 2DG.423.46D3 Fax 2DS.275.191D Email jamesOOnorrishomesinc.com We propose to continue the 6' cedar (modulated) fence along the northern side yard oflot 21 Jericho plat per the site plan included. The purpose of this continuation is to "improve the privacy and security of the adjoining rear yard space" oflot 21 which at the moment is open to the intersection of NE 4th St and Jericho Ave NE. The proposed fence is not "out of scale" of the residential environment as it is only connecting existing fences on NE 4th and Jericho Ave. The proposed fence is not a "blank wall" as it is modulated per the attached detail. The proposed fence will not present a vehicle hazard because it incorporates the city's line of sight requirements. The proposed fence will: • Have permanent landscape in front • Be cedar • Be modulated • Is the same design as is already on NE 4th St • Have the finished face to the street The proposed fence will not: • Have an increased setback from the sidewalk • Have wrought iron Thank you, James Kerby CA NE 4lli 0 Sc.
