Vicinity Map Windstone Division II Site Plan Zoning Map Lot 8 Plan Lot 8 Layout Alternative 'A' Lot 8 Layout Alternative 'B' C. Project Description / Background: The applicant has requested approval of an administrative variance from the required setback for a garage accessed frorn a street along a side yard. The subject site is located at 1727 Nile Avenue NE (Parcel No, 032305-9035, Exhibit 2), The site is Lot 8 of the Windstone Division II development (Exhibit 3), Windstone Div II (formerly called Stoneridge Div II) was approved as a short subdivision (LUA04- 124) February 8, 2005, The density of the approved plat is 2,84 dwelling units per acre, Although Windstone Div. II is in the Residential 4 (R-4) zone, it is vested by virtue of an annexation agreement to Residential 5 (R-5) development standards (Exhibit 4), Therefore, the minimum lot size allowed is 7,200 sf. Lot 8 is 16,660 sf, but in spite of this size, the configuration of the lot has created difficulty in siting a standard-floor plan structure. The irregular lot shape is due to the location of a fork or tributary of Greene's Creek that forms the west boundary of Lot 8. Greene's Creek itself is located at the east part of the subdivision. Greene's Creek was determined to be a seasonal stream at this location. Buffer averaging of the stream setback was allowed to accommodate the private street accessing Lot 9, but was not requested for structure siting. City of Renton PIBIPW Departl",nt WINDS TONE DIV /I SETBACK VARIANCE REPORT AND DECISION OF JUNE 14. 2007 Ad, .. ~trative Variance Staff Report LUA-07-052, V-A Page 3 016 The development standards require a side yard along a street of 15 feet for the primary structure and 20 feet for an attached garage accessed from the side street. The setback is measured from the property line to the building. The primary building would meet the setback requirement, but the garage would be situated between the primary structure and the side street. Approximately % of the garage fa<;:ade would be 20 feet and closer to the side street (Exhibit 5). Therefore, the applicant is proposing a 5-foot setback between the street and the northeast comer of the garage. The proposed structure would meet all other applicable development standards. The side street is a 20-foot wide private access easement across Lot 8 that intersects with Nile Avenue NE. It serves Lots 8 and 9 of Windstone II only. Analysis of the garage footprint in relation to the stream setback indicates that if buffer averaging was utilized, the garage could be placed farther away from the side street, thereby meeting the minimum setback requirement. Alternate 'A' (Exhibit 6) would have the garage situated so that the north corner is 20 feet from the edge of the access street. It would be accessed from northeast to southwest. Alternate '8' (Exhibit '7') would also have the north corner of the garage located 20 feet from the edge of the access street, but would be accessed from northwest to southeast. 80th alternatives would place the garage within the 35 foot buffer from the seasonal stream, but outside of the 25 foot buffer area. It would be the applicant's option to request a reduction in the stream buffer and use buffer averaging. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION Having reviewed the written record in the matter, the City now makes and enters the following: D. Findings 1) Request: The applicant has requested approval of an administrative variance from the required 20~foot side yard along a street setback for a garage accessed from the street. A 5-foot sideyard along a street setback is proposed for the northeast corner of the garage. All other portions of the primary structure and attached accessory structure would comply with the required setbacks and all other development standards would be met. 2) Administrative Variance: The applicant's administrative variance submittal materials comply with the requirements necessary to process a variance. The project file, the applicant's site plan, and other project drawings are entered as Exhibits 1 through 7.

It is vested to the Residential 5 development standards however. The development standards for the R-5 zone require a 15 foot side yard setback along a street for the primary structure and a 20-foot setback for an attached garage. 5) Topography: On Lot 8, the site slopes in a southwesterly direction toward the Greene's Creek tributary. 6) Lot and Building: The area of Lot 8 is 16,660 square feet. The proposed single-family residence and garage are situated outside of the stream buffer area (Native Growth Protection Easement). 7) Variance Request: In addition to the requested variance, the applicant has proposed two alternatives that would result in a reduction of the stream buffer through buffer averaging and relocation of the garage into the 35 foot buffer to a point no closer than 25 feet from the seasonal stream. This would require a modification of the approved subdivision. These alternatives, however, are not preferred, due to the increased potential for negative impacts on the stream from reduced buffering. CONSISTENCY WITH VARIANCE CRITERIA Section 4-9-2508.5.a. Lists 4 criteria that the Responsible Official is asked to consider, along with aI/ other relevant information, in making a decision on an Administrative Variance application. These include the fol/owing: The Responsible Official shall have authority to grant an administrative variance upon making a determination, in writing, that the conditions specified below have been found to exist: 1) That the applicant suffers undue hardship and the variance is necessary because of special circumstances applicable to subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings of the subject property, and the strict application of the Zoning Code is found to deprive subject property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical zone classification: Due to the irregular shape of Lot 8 and the proximity of Greene's Creek, an attached garage cannot be positioned on the lot without either being within the sideyard setback area or within 25 feet (reduced buffer area) of a Class 4 stream. An attached garage is a requirement of a "marketable" product. City of Renton PIBlPW Depart"'vnt WtNDSTONE DtV /I SETBACK VARIANCE Adn .• ".strative Variance Staff Report LUA-07-052, V-A REPORT AND DECISION OF JUNE 14. 2007 Page 5 of 6 Therefore, denial of the variance request would result in a request to reduce the stream buffer through averaging. Staff agrees that an attached garage is necessary to preserve the value of the property and that a variance, as requested, would have less impact on the stream than buffer averaging. which is the alternative course of action. 2) That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated: The granting of the variance would have less impact on the environment and other properties nearby than reducing the buffer, which is the next alternative available. The granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding properties or improvements. 3) That approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated: The approval of the variance request would not be a grant of special privilege as the variance would allow for an attached garage, which is an accessory stnucture enjoyed by most homeowners in the vicinity. 4) That the approval as determined by the Reviewing Official is a minimum variance that will accomplish the desired purpose: The applicant contends that the request is the minimum variance needed in order to construct the attached garage. Staff has reviewed the request and concurs that the proposed variance is the minimum necessary to accomplish the desired purpose of siting the proposed garage. E. Conclusions 1) The subject site is located at 1727 Nile Ave NE, within a Residential - 4 dwelling units per acre (R-4) zoning designation. 2) The applicable development standards require a minimum 20-foot side yard along a street setback for the attached garage from the property boundary. The applicant is proposing to reduce this setback to 5 feet. 3) The analysis of the proposal according to variance criteria is found in the body of the Staff Report. 4) Staff's analysis concludes that the applicant's proposal is justified based on the four applicable criteria needed to grant a variance.

Grady Way Renton, WA 98055 RE: Request for a Variance for the front yard setback for the existing home located on Lot 8 of Windstone Division II. (LUA 04-124-FP LND 10-0450) Dear Jennifer, On behalf of KBS Development Corporation, and per our recent conversation(s); this letter shall serve as a formal request for a variance at the Windstone Division II Short Plat. The variance we are requesting is listed below: Reduction of the front yard setback for Lot 8 of Winds tone Division II down to 5'. The justification(s) for the variance request are as follows: I. Lot 8 has an irregular shape, and is surrounded by a stream/wetland buffer on the West, and Nile Ave. NE on the East. (which requires a 15' setback) 2. Granting the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located. Approving this variance would, in fact, allow the new home to be built on the lot, to build to a similar spec level as those in Windstone Division I. 3. The approval will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties ill the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located. 4. The lot is +-105' wide at the front (N. side), but within 70', narrows down to 60' wide. With a IS' setback from Nile Ave. NE on the East, and a wetland buffer on the West, (which the home will need to be +-10' away from), the building envelope would be reduced t035' wide. Such a narrow home would greatly impact the quality and value of the new home built on the lot. If approved, the requested variance is the minimum variance that will accomplish the desired purpose. Thank you for your consideration, and please contact me with any questions or comments. Sincerely, ~~ Project Administrator KBS Development Corp.
