The purpose of the proposed project is to provide a safe walking environment along this portion of Talbot Road S. Additionally, the proposed sidewalk would provide additional pedestrian access to the Sikh Temple located to the north of the subject parcels. The proposed sidewalk would encroach eight feet into a Category 2 Wetland which encompasses approximately 66 linear feet from the southern end of the sidewalk project northerly and eight feet into the wetland buffer area for an additional 50 linear feet northerly of the wetland boundary. The sidewalk and curb would also cross a 12-inch culvert and outlet for the Class 4 Stream within the project area. Approximately 254 square feet of the wetland and 400 square feet of the wetland buffer area would be filled as a result of the proposed project. The existing 12-inch culvert and outlet for the Class 4 Stream would be replaced with a new 12- inch culvert and outlet as part of the project construction with a Critical Areas Exemption per City of Renton Department of Co, ity & Economic Development Certificate of ption from Critical Areas Exemption LUA13-000609 Sikh Temple Sidewalk Extension May 15, 2013 Page 2 of 3 RMC 4-3-0SOC.5.g.i. The proposed sidewalk would extend approximately 260 linear feet north from the southeast property line of the parcel addressed as 18836 Talbot Road S (APN 3123059075). The proposed project includes two driveways: Driveway 1 is an existing driveway which provides access to 5218 Talbot Road S (APN 3123059096) and Driveway 2, a proposed driveway, which would access 18836 Talbot Road S (APN 3123059075). Because no permits or authorization for parking on the area east of the sidewalk extension is given or implied, staff recommends that Driveway 2 not be allowed (Exhibit 2). The proposed project would minimize impacts to the critical areas in that a sidewalk and curb would be constructed without a planting strip. Because this critical areas exemption addresses only the sidewalk and curb extension and replacement of the 12-inch culvert and outlet, at the time of issuance, the applicant would not be required to provide any mitigation for encroachment into the Category 2 Wetland, the wetland buffer, the Class 4 Stream buffer or for crossing the culverted Class 4 Stream. At a later time, if and when the applicant proposes development on either or both of the subject parcels, mitigation for that project and this sidewalk extension project would be required.
