FINAL DECISION UPON
RECONSIDERATION
Gerald Smith, owner of the property subject to the above-captioned applications, filed a
request for reconsideration with the City Clerk on October 19, 2018. Mr. Smith requests a
reconsideration of the wetland buffers imposed for his property. The wetland buffer requirements
were addressed in detail in the Final Decision issued for the above-captioned applications on
October 2, 2018. Mr. Smith didn’t raise any arguments that he didn’t already raise in the hearing
held for the October 2, 2018 decision. He instead focuses upon the fact that the wetland buffers
imposed by the October 2, 2018 decision may result in the loss of one of the lots proposed by the
subdivision application. The Renton Municipal Code does not authorize the reduction of buffer
widths beyond the 25% reduction already granted to the project in the absence of a reasonable use
request (or perhaps a variance if applicable). The request for reconsideration is denied..
The October 2, 2018 issuance date for the Final Decision of the above-captioned application is
extended to the issuance date of this Final Decision Upon Reconsideration for purposes of appeal as
required to accommodate Mr. Smith’s request for reconsideration.
DATED this 30th day of October, 2018.
