C. HISTORY and BACKGROUND
The Subdivision Technical Committee (STC} of King County has conducted an on-site
examination of the subject property. The STC has discussed the proposed
development with the applicant to clarify technical details of the application, and to
determine the compatibility of this project with applicable King County plans, codes, and
other official documents regulating this development.
Report and Decision L05S0009
• •
As a result of preliminary discussions, the applicant presented the Technical Committee
with a revised site plan on July 14, 2005. The primary modification includes a revision
to the private access tract to meet the King County Road Standards.
D. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
E.
1. Topography: The site is relatively flat. The west half slopes down gently from
northeast to southwest.
2. Soils: One soil type is found on this site per King County Soil Survey, 1973.
The entire site is classified AgB. The following are AgB characteristics:
AqB -Alderwood gravely, sandy loam; 0-6% slopes. Runoff is slow and the
erosion hazard is slight. This soil type has a moderate limitation for low building
foundations due to a seasonally high water table, and severe limitations for
septic tank filter fields due to very slow permeability in the substratum.
3. Wetland/streams: According to the King County Sensitive Areas Folio, no
mapped hydrographic features exist on this site. Panther Creek runs
approximately half a mile west of the site. The site lies within the Black River
drainage basin. ·
4. Vegetation: This site is overgrown by lawn and there a few fruit trees scattered
throughout the site.
5. · Wildlife: Small birds and animals may inhabit this site however their population
and species are limited due to nearby development. No threatened or
endangered species are known to exist on or near the property.
6. Mapped Sensitive Areas: The Sensitive Areas Folio does not identify any
mapped sensitive areas as being present on this site.
NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS:
The property lies within the designated Urban Area east of the city of Renton. The site
and the surrounding properties are zoned Residential with 8 dwelling unit per acre. The
neighboring properties are developed with residential structures. The site contains a
house which will be removed.
F. DESIGN FEATURES
1. Density, Lot Pattern, Comprehensive Plan: The site's assigned density is eight
dwelling units per acre. The proposed density is in compliance with the density of
the zone. The site is located in the "urban " area as designated by the King
County Comprehensive Plan.
2. Access and Roadway Section: The applicant proposes to access the lots via a·
Private Access Tract (PAT) extending north from SE 192"d Street into the site.
All lots will have direct access to the PAT. A road variance (KC File L05V0045)
from the intersection spacing requirements was approved by King County
Department of Transportation (see Attachment 2).
3. Drainage: The site's drainage generally sheet flows from the north to the south.
A "Targeted Drainage Review, Category 2" is required because the existing
drainage system must be modified to collect and convey drainage along the
property frontage. The proposed on-site improvements appear to qualify for
small-site Best Management Practices (BMP's).

PUBLIC SERVICES
1. Sewage Disposal: The applicant proposes to serve the subject subdivision by
means of a public sewer system managed by Soos Creek Water and Sewer
District. A Certificate Sewer Availability, dated February 1, 2005, indicates this
sewer district's capability to serve the proposed development.
2. Water Supply: The applicant proposes to serve the subject subdivision with a
public water supply and distribution system managed by Soos Creek Water and
· Sewer District. A certificate of Water Availability, dated February 1, 2005,
indicates this sewer district's capability to serve the proposed development.
3. School facilities: The subject subdivision will be served by Benson Hill
Elementary, Nelson Junior High, and Lindberg Senior High Schools, all located
within the Renton School District. The District has indicated that the future
students from this subdivision will walk to the elementary school. The students
will be bussed to both Junior and Senior High schools.
The walkway to the elementary school consist of pedestrian path along SE 192nd
Street and sidewalks along 113th way SE all the way to the Elementary school
site. The Junior High school students will be picked up at the intersection of SE
192nd and 113th Way SE. The High School students will be picked up at the
intersection of SE 192nd Street and 1161h Avenue SE. There are pedestrian path
along SE 192nd to both intersections. Additionally, there will be sidewalks
constructed along the frontage of the site which will provide additional safe
walking conditions for all pedestrians.
SEPA THRESHOLD DETERMINATION:
Pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), RCW 43.21 C, the responsible
official of the Land Use Services Division (LUSD) issued a threshold determination of
non-significance (DNS) for the proposed development on October 28, 2005. This
· determination was based on the review of the environmental checklist and supporting
documentation filed with the application, resulting in the conclusion that the proposal
would not cause probable significant adverse impacts on the environment.
FINDINGS/CONCLUSIONS:
The subject subdivision will comply with the goals and objectives of the King County
Comprehensive Plan and will comply with the requirements of the Subdivision and
Zoning Codes and other official land use controls of King County (i.e. 1993 King County
Road Standards, 2005 Surface Water Design Manual, etc.), based upon the conditions

RE: Road Variance L05V0045 Kuldip Tumber Short Plat -Related Hile 10580009
~----..
Dear Mr. Krueger:
Thank you for your application for variances from the King County Road Standards (KCRS) .
. You requested variances from Sections 2.10 and 2.12 of the KCRS concerning the intersection
spacing requirement and stopping sight distance {SSD) along SE 192nd Street. ·
The intersection spacing from the proposed private access tract (PAT) to I 13th Way SE is 360
feet; to 116th Avenue SE is 750 feet, and to Tract A (serving four eastern lots) is 400 feet. The
KCRS requires 1,000 feet of intersection spacing along a principal arterial (SE 192nd Street).
There is no alternative access point for the four-lot short plat.
The applicant will be improving the frontage on SE 192nd Street by providing an urban section.
The existing SSD along the frontage with SE 192nd Street, as measured by the applicant, is
446 feet, and the KCRS require 475 feet for the design speed of 50 mph (10 over the posted
speed of 40 mph). The minimum American.Association of State Highway" and Transportation
Officials' (AASHTO) SSD for a design speed of 50 MPH is 425 feet. Curb, gutter and
sidewalk have been constructed along the vertical crest curve extending westward on SE 192nd
Street beyond the short plat frontage. The entering sight distance (SSD) for the short plat
access meets KCRS.
I,agprove a varitmceto allow the redgced intersection spacing for the PAT located midway
along the frontage on SE 192nd Street. I also approve a variance to allow the rednced.SSD so
that the proposed curb, gutt£! and.§i£!Jl.Y!'.l!!k.£!ID~tch to the existing Y£ll1i.CJU.aligument.
This decision applies only ·to KCRS identified in the variance request. All other design
requirements in the KCRS and other. regulations, such as surface water management and
zoning, must still be satisfied for a land use permit application. The applicant retains the rights
and privileges afforded by King County Code and adopted Public Rules pertaining to road
variance processing (KCC 14.42, PUT 10~2). This variance decision is valid for one year from
date of letter, unless an associated land use permit is pending or submitted within the one year
period. In these cases, the variance decision is valid for the duration of the permit processing.

RE: Road Variance L05V0045 -Kuldip Tumber Short Plat -Related File L05S0009
Dear Mr. Krueger:
Thank you for your application for variances from the King County Road Standards (KCRS).
You requested variances from Sections 2.10 and 2.12 of the KCRS concerning the intersection
spacing requirement and stopping sight distance (SSD) along SE 192nd Street.
The intersection spacing from the proposed private access tract (PAT) to I 13th Way SE is 360
feet, to I 16th Avenue SE is 750 feet, and to Tract A (serving four eastern lots) is 400 feet. The
KCRS requires 1,000 feet of intersection spacing along a principal arterial (SE 192nd Street).
There is no alternative access point for the four-lot short plat.
The applicant will be improving the frontage on SE 192nd Street by providing an urban section.
The existing SSD along the frontage with SE 192nd Street, as measured by the applicant, is
446 feet, and the KCRS require 475 feet for the design speed of 50 mph (IO over the posted
speed of 40 mph). The minimum American Association of State Highway and Transportation
Officials' (AASHTO) SSD for a design speed of 50 MPH is 425 feet. Curb, gutter and ·
sidewalk have been constructed along the vertical crest curve extending westward on SE 192nd
Street beyond the short plat frontage. The entering sight distance (SSD) for the short plat
access meets KCRS.
I approve a variance to allow the reduced intersection spacing for the PAT located midway
along the frontage on SE 192nd Street. I also approve a variance to allow the reduced SSD so
that the proposed curb, gutter and sidewalk can match to the existing vertical alignment.
This decision applies only to KCRS identified in the variance request. All other design
requirements in the KCRS and other regulations, such as surface water management and
zoning, must still be satisfied for a land use permit application. The applicant retains the rights
and privileges afforded by King County Code and adopted Public Rules pertaining to road
variance processing (KCC·l4.42, PUT 10-2). This variance decision is valid for one year from
date ofletter, unless an associated land use permit is pending or submitted within the one year
. period. In these cases, the variance decision is valid for the duration of the permit processing.

RE: Road Variance L05V0045 Kuldip Tumber Short Plat-Relate File L05S0009
Applicant's Presentation:
I. The proposed four-lot short plat is located at 11328 SE 192nd Street, which is a principal
arterial. A private access tract is proposed midway along the frontage. The location at
SE 192nd Street is posted with a 40 mph speed limit for which the design speed is 50 mph.
The King County Road Standards (KCRS) requires 475 feet of stopping sight distance
(SSD) for a design speed of 45 mph. The applicant measures 854 feet of SSD to the west of
the plat entry, and 446 feet of SSD to the east. The entering sight distances exceed the
KCRS minimum of 685 feet looking to the east or west from the access point to
SE 192nd Street. The SSD is limited by a vertical curve beyond the short plat frontage.
There is no alternative access to the site.
2. The new access point will have 360 feet of intersection spacing along SE 192nd Street to
I 13th Way SE, 750 feet to I 16th Avenue SE; and 400 feet to private Tract A to the east
serving four lots. The KCRS requires 1,000 feet of intersection spacing along a principal
arterial. The location of the plat aci;;ess tract is at a centralized location that is safe. No
matter where the access is located, KCRS intersection spacing criteria cannot be met.
Staffs Findings and Conclusions:
I. Concurrence with the applicant's presentation.
2. Beyond the short plat frontage, curb, gutter and sidewalk has been constructed along the
existing vertical alignment of SE 192nd Street. The vertical curve that limits the sight
distance extends hundreds of feet offsite. The minimum available SSD to the east of the
short plat entry at 446 feet exceed 2004 American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Official's manual minimum of 425 feet for a design speed of 50 mph.
