Describe Landscaping to be installed: I, the undersigned, declare under'penalty of perjury under the taws of the State of Washington, that to the best of my knowledge the above information is true, correct, and complete and that the applicable requirements'of the City of Renton will be met. I understand that this application is valid for six months from the application date. If a permit is not issued during this time period, the application will become void. This application does not constitute a permit to work. Work is not to commence until the building permit is posted on premises where work Is to be performed. Certification is hereby rendered that no work is to be done except as described, and that all work shall conform to the applicable codes. Work in public rights-of-way and/or utility easements are not authorized under this application. Applicant Signature: Date: :� g $ H:%CEoloaMTwrls-TernplatOgl- M -Help Hardouls"nnlrtg%sf.doc To Whom It May Concern: With respect to the justification for a special fence permit, I would simply state that with my home being 30'+/- from SW Sunset Blvd, a five lane principal arterial carrying approximately 22,000 vehicles a day traveling at an average speed of 48 mph (Traffic Engineering's data) and being a designated truck route as well as having articulated buses passing every 12 minutes during peak hours, I need every opportunity to mitigate the traffic noise which at times is well in excess of 90 decibels. There are other mitigating factors as well such as the visual disruption, privacy and property value concerns. My home sits approximately 10 feet above street grade which means the fence will not be at driver or pedestrian eye levels nor will it affect site distance issues whatsoever. The fence will be constructed primarily of cedar and will be stained a gray pigment to match my home. The front of the property below the fence line consists of a 1.5:1 slope which is covered with English Ivy and has a large mature Cedar tree (see attached photos). No additional landscaping is planned at this time. The fence design will incorporate the same pattern, front and back and overall will benefit the surrounding properties and property owners. The fence will provide privacy so that I do not have to continue to look out at surrounding properties such as 440 SW Sunset Blvd or 380 Stevens Ave SW (whose property has been maintained twice in 2009), 345 Lind Ave SW (who utilizes their front yard and adjoining public right of way as a car lot) and 2151315 SW Sunset Blvd which operates a junk yard under the premise that it's a used car lot.
