Wilson Park 1, Renton Municipal Code allows for a period of validity of 5 years for Preliminary Plats. However, the Washington State Legislature approved an extension to the period of validity to seven (7) years for plats approved on or after January 1, 2008 and before January 1, 2015, Wilson Park 1 Preliminary Plat was approved by the Hearing Examiner on August 16, 2010 and because of the extension provided by the Washington State Legislature, was valid for a total of seven (7) years, until August 16, 2017. In addition, the applicant requested a one-time one- year extension to the preliminary plat, as provided for in Renton Municipal Code. This extension for Wilson Park 1 was granted on July 26, 2015. Therefore, Wilson Park 1 Preliminary Plat is valid for a period of eight (8) years and will expire on August 16, 2018. Wilson Park 2. Renton Municipal Code allows for a period of validity of 5 years for Preliminary Plats, and allows for applications submitted with the preliminary plat to expire at the same time as the preliminary plat. In addition, the Washington State Legislature approved an extension to the period of validity to seven (7) years for plats approved on or after January 1, 2008 and before January 1, 2015. Because the Wilson Park 2 Preliminary Plat and PUD was approved by the Hearing Examiner on July 5, 2012, both approvals are valid for a total of seven (7) years, until July 5, 2019. The Final Plat and Final PUD must be submitted prior to the expiration of the preliminary approvals. Please also note that the Renton Municipal Code allows for the applicant to request an additional one- year extension if requested at least 30 days prior to expiration and provided the applicant demonstrates that he/she has attempted in good faith to submit the final plat within the approved time period, If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me at 425-430-7286 or ihenning(@rentonwa.gov. 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057 • rentonwa.gov December 12, 2016 Page 2 Sincerely, JenniferT.

Specifically, the municipal code allows the Administrator to issue a single one (1) year extension. Additional extensions may be granted by the Hearing Examiner in one (1) year increments. As the decision was issued on August 16, 2010, your request of June 8tn was timely. Therefore, your request is reasonable.

If a final plat is not submitted by August 16, 2018, it will expire unless an additional extension is granted by the Hearing Examiner. Therefore, your preliminary plat approval extension request is approved. The preliminary plat will expire on August 16, 2018.

June 16, 2010 Ms. Bonnie Walton, City Clerk City of Renton 1055 South Grady Way Renton, WA 98057 CITY OF RENTON JUN 1 7 2010 CITY CLERKS OFFICE RE: Appeal of Hearing Examiner's decision regarding the Wilson Parr Preliminary Plat application, located at 720 S. 55ti' Street. (File No. LUA09-140, ECF, PP ) Ms. Walton: Thank you for the opportunity to provide written comments on the above appeal. As owners of property adjacent to the subject site (located directly below/west of the site), we have an interest in insuring negative impacts are avoided and appropriate measures are taken in the possible development of this site. We became Parties of Record for this application last year, submitting written comments in November of 2009 and attending the Hearing held by the Examiner in March of 2010. While we were informed of the Hearing Examiner's final decision on this application, we were not informed as a Party of Record of the request for reconsideration or the Hearing Examiner's denial of that request. When we recently received notice of the Appeal to City Council on this matter, we were at a disadvantage in that we did not have the information contained in the request for reconsideration submitted by the applicant. We were able to obtain a copy of the letter of request for reconsideration from the Clerk's office, but do not have the detailed engineering material on the reconsideration request. As owners of existing homes located adjacent to the proposed Plat, we maintain our concerns over four specific areas in the Appeal (these are consistent with concerns shared in the initial Plat application)_ These are safety, drainage, privacy and maintenance. 1. SAFETY This site sits on a fairly significant slope, While site development documents may address the actual slopes on the listed property, we are concerned that development plans include addressing impacts to existing slopes, below (west) of the proposed site. We remain concerned that changes to Lot 12, as well as the entire west border of the site, address the close proximity of the roadway to our adjoining property. In that the Plat's east/west roadway makes a 90 degree turn to the south directly above our adjoining property, we feel steps must be taken to insure that vehicles cannot, under any circumstances, (especially ice/snow conditions) slide from the roadway and down the hill onto our adjoining property/homes. An initially discussed concrete retaining wall along the Plat's west boundary would address this along Lot 12 and should be included adjacent to all down slope abutting properties for public safety, which would include all 4 Geneva Court adjunct properties. 2. DRAINAGE We are concerned that every effort be made to insure that the changes in site drainage not impact property located directly below the proposed development. It is unknown how the proposed two tiered rockery will be engineered to provide drainage that does not impact existing homes below Lot 12 or any other adjunct properties should the rockery be extended. 3. PRIVACY The proximity of the Plat being located directly above the Geneva Court subdivision creates the potential for significant impacts to existing homeowners. Any development of areas adjunct to property lines of all 4 Geneva Court homes should be considered in privacy screening. Proposed site development mentions either road or common areas adjunct to current Geneva Court properties. Any of these would equally impact our properties. We request a "buffer" to minimize this impact whether that is a wall, green belt, or fence, etc. 4. MAINTENANCE We understand that requirements made by the City for this Plat would be required of the owner/developer (to Lot 12 and also the entire site). our concerns are that once the site infrastructure is done and the developer/contractor moves on that home owners living in that new development will be required and should be able to maintain the required items that are common to our adjoining property. These include any rockery, retaining walls, fences and vaults, etc. If these responsibilities/items are not clearly specified by the City in the approval of the Plat or well monitored during development, the potential for us as adjacent property owners to have to deal with failed design and/or lack of maintenance of those structures dramatically increases. Please make every effort in the appeal/approval process to insure that requirements and responsibility are indicated, designed, engineered and constructed reliably in order to avoid any problems in the future. The need to maintain, and the access to do so, a two -tiered rockery, where the tiering faces Geneva Court properties instead of tiering toward the new development, may not be obvious to those homeowners and could easily be overlooked. Geneva Court residents should not be burdened with maintenance of such a rockery_ We have a two -tiered rockery in our neighborhood and there is a fair amount of maintenance needed and limited homeowners willing to do this.

INTRODUCTION Pursuant to Renton Municipal Code 4-8-110(F), Applicant Robert Wilson (fine "Applicant") respectfully submits this appeal statement in support of its appeal of the Hearing Examiner's decision to eliminate Lot 12 from Applicant's Wilson Park Preliminary PIat, File No. LUA09-140, PP, ECF, including his Decision on Applicant's Request for Reconsideration dated May 18, 2010 (the "Reconsideration Decision")' and his underlying Findings, Conclusions, -and Recommendation dated April 1, 2010 (the "Original Decision")' (colIectively, the "Decisions"). The Reconsideration Decision is attached hereto as Attachment I _ '- The Original Decision is attached hereto as Attachment 2. APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT - 1 _ ordonDeH 2625 First Avenue, Suite 500 Seattle, SPh 96121-3140 i206) 382-954D 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 S 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 In his Decisions, the Hearing Examiner erroneously rejects the Planning Director's Administrative PohcylCode Interpretation regarding the Talbot Urban Separator open space requirements dated January 14, 2010 (hereinafter the "Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation"T. Moreover, without basis in the facts or the requirements of City policy or code, the Hearing Examiner eliminated Lot 12 from the preliminary plat, contrary to the staff's recommendation, based on visual impacts to adjoining property owners to the west of the site and vague concerns regarding "appropriate density" in the Urban Separator portion of the lot. The Hearing Examiner's Decisions constitute an improper collateral attack on the Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation; are based on a flawed interpretation of the City of Renton's Urban Separator Overlay regulations (RMC 4-3-110); and are inconsistent with the City's standards for preliminary plat decisions. As such, the Hearing Examiner's Decisions are based on "substantial error[s] in fact and law"4 and the Applicant respectfuIly requests that the Renton City Council ("City Council") modify both the Hearing Examiner's Decisions and approve inclusion of Lot 12 of the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat as part of the City's preliminary plat approval. H. ASSIGNMENT OF ERRORS The Applicant hereby specifically assigns error to the following conclusions, recommendations, and decisions of the Hearing Examiner: (1) Original Decision, Conclusion #i; (2) Original Decision, Conclusion #5; (3) Original Decision, 3 Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation is attached hereto as Attachment 3- 4 RMC 4-8-1lo(F)(7), (s)- APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT - 2 GMENEM 2025 First Avenue, suite $Go Seattle, WA 9ei21-al4D (Z06) 382-9540 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Recommendation 43, and (4) the Reconsideration Decision in its entirety. For the reasons discussed in length below, the Hearing Examiner erred in excluding Lot 12 from, the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat Approval. First, the Hearing Examiner's Decisions constitute an improper collateral attack on the Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation that is barred by both the City's statutory 14-day appeal period for code interpretations (RMC 4-8-110) and the state's Land Use Petition Act. Second, the alternative interpretation of the Urban Separator regulations adopted in the Hearing Examiner's Decisions conflicts with both the legislative intent behind RMC 4-3-110 and the basic rules of statutory construction. Third, if the Planning Director's Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation is overturned, the Urban Separator regulations may violate RCW 82.02.020. Last, as modified in the Applicant's request for reconsideration,' Lot 12 resolves all of the concerns raised in the Hearing Examiner's Original Decision (i.e., visual impacts, significant tree retention, excessive grading, and retaining wall height) and meets the City's zoning, subdivision, and development regulations. Thus, in reaching his decision to exclude Lot 12, the Hearing Examiner made substantial errors in fact and Iaw, which the Applicant respectfully requests the City Council modify by approving the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat with Lot 12. M. FACTS The Wilson Park Preliminary Plat site consists of 2.5 acres split up between the R- 14, R-1, and R-8 Zones.' The R-1 zoned portion of the site coincides with the Talbot Road ' See Attachment 5. ' See Wilson Park Preliminary Plat application submittals attached hereto as Attachment 6. APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT - 3 Gor0Mon I 2025 First Avenue, Suite SOD Seattle, HA 95121-3140 (200 362-454D 1 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Urban Separator depicted in RMC 4-3-110(C)(2). The City has two Urban Separator areas: May Valley and Talbot Road. See RMC 4-3-110. In the May Valley Urban Separator, entire properties are included in the Urban Separator designation; whereas, in the Talbot Road Urban Separator, only portions of properties are with the Urban l Separator. RMC 4-3-110(E)(2)(a) requires properties located within the Urban Separator to dedicate 50% of the gross Iand area of the parcel or parcels as a non -revocable open space tract:_ In May Valley, since the entire property is designated Urban Separator, the dedication of 50% of the gross site area is required. In the Talbot Road Urban Separator, however, where only a very small portion of the site may be designated Urban Separator, the City has determined it is inequitable to require that 50% of the gross site area be retained.' Here, for instance, only 23,795 square feet of Wilson. Park Preliminary Plat's 2.5-acre lot is designated Urban Separator. Fifty percent of that area would require 11,898 square feet of open space. Fifty percent of the gross site, however, is 54,442 square feet more than Twice the actual land area actually located within the Talbot Road Urbana Separator. Instead, on January 14, 2010, following the Applicant's submittal of its preliminary plat application, the Planning Director issued the Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation. The interpretation states: Urban Separator regulations require dedication of 50% of designated properties gross area as open space. Tor properties in May Valley, where the entire site is within the Urban Separator, this is appropriate. However, ' See Attachment 6. APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT - 4 6 rdanDe C 2025 First Avenue, Suite 500 Seattle, WA 98121-3159 (206) 382-9540 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 for properties in the Talbot area, where only a portion of the site is designated Urban Separator, the requirement for dedication of 50% of the area as open space is a hardship. By requiring 50% of the area designated as Urban Separator to be dedicated as open space, there is uniformity and fairness between the Talbot and May Valley areas. Properties in the Talbot Urban Separator will be required to dedicate 50% of the gross land area in the Urban Separator as open space, rather than 50% of the gross site area. The area to be dedicated may also include portions of the site abutting the Urban Separator, in order to create a contiguous open space corridor.' This Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation was posted on the City's website; formal comment and appeal periods were published; no appeals of this interpretation were filed; and the interpretation is currently pending before the City's Planning Commission as part of the 2010 annual docket list to be codified in the Renton Municipal Code next year. Pursuant to this code interpretation, the Applicant is required to dedicate 11,898 square feet of open space; however, the open space actually provided in the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat exceeds this requirement by more than 1,000 square feet.' In its Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner dated March 9, 2010 (the "Preliminary Report"), the City's Department of Community and Economic Development recommended approval of the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat containing 12 lots and 3 tracts for open space.10 The Preliminary Report concluded that the 12-lot Wilson Park Preliminary Plat complied with the City's preliminary plat criteria; Renton Comprehensive Plan designation; underlying zoning designation; and subdivision 6 Id. 9 Department of Community and Economic Development's Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner dated March 9, 2010, attached hereto as Attachment 4, at p. 9 _ 10 See Attachment 4. APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT - 5 ardODefit 2025 First Avenue, Suite SOO Seattle, WA 98122-3140 1206) 362-9540 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 I regulations." The Hearing Examiner, however, rejected the Department's recommendation and, instead, recommended that the City Council approve the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat with only eleven lots_' The Hearing Examiner based his decision to eliminate Lot 12 on the following criteria: Lot 12 sacrificed too much of the natural terrain of the area designated Talbot Road Urban Separator (even though it exceeded the amount of open space required under the Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation); elimination of Lot 12 preserved the site's natural features and slope; Lot 12 made the plat "excessively dense"; and the 20-foot retaining walls necessary to create Lot 12 imposed visual impacts on adjoining property owners directly to the west of site.13 On April 6, 2010, the Applicant submitted a timely reconsideration request to the Hearing Examiner. In an attempt to address the concerns of the Hearing Examiner as stated in his Original Decision, the Applicant's reconsideration request submittal relocated Lot 12 to the east (hereinafter "Modified Lot 12") and placed the open space easement on the west side of Modified Lot 12." The relocation of Modified Lot 12: (1) substantially reduced the length of the wall along the east property line of Geneva Court Lots 13-16 from 200 feet tb 55 feet and shifted the wall further to the east to reduce impacts to adjoining property owners; (2) replaced the 20-foot retaining wall with two stepped rockeries of6-feet and 8-feet in height significantly reducing the visual impact of the retaining walls to the westerly adjoining property owners; (3) increased the number of 11 Id 12 See Attachment 2, p.11. 13 Id i4 See Reconsideration Request and enclosures dated April 6, 2010, attached hereto as Attachment 5, APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMEIv'T - 6 GOf'dOnffi4t� 202E First Avenue, Suite 500 Seattle, 1 98121-31AD {206) 382-9540 I significant trees to be retained on site from 15 to 24, and (4) substantially reduced the 2 grading on Modified. Lot 12 leaving most of the proposed open space easement 3 undisturbed native vegetation. 4 Despite these changes to the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat and Modified Lot 12, 5 b the Hearing Examiner again refused to allow the inclusion of Modified Lot 12 in the 7 Wilson Park Preliminary Plat. Instead of approving Modified Lot 12, the Hearing 8 Examiner explicitly rejected the City's Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation 9 as "inappropriate" and held that the Urban Separator portion of Wilson Park Preliminary 10 Plat should remain as "natural as possible."15 11 The Hearing Examiner's Decisions should be modified to authorize inclusion of 12 Modified Lot 12 in the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat for the following reasons: (1) the 13 14 Hearing Examiner's Decisions are improper collateral attacks on the Planning Director's 1s Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation; (2) the Hearing Examiner's Decisions 16 are based on an invalid interpretation of the City's Urban Separator regulations; (3) 17 without the Planning Director's Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation, the 18 City's Urban Separator regulations may violate RCW 82.02.020; and (4) the Wilson Park 19 Preliminary Plat complies with the City's Comprehensive Plan policies and code 20 requirements. 21 22 23 24 25 s Attachment 1 atp- i.

LEGAL ARGUMENT A_ The Hearing Examiner's Decisions Constitute an Improper Collateral_ Attack on the Planing Division's Code interpretation. Washington case law is clear that a land use decision that is not timely appealed may not be collaterally attacked in a later proceeding. " Renton provides a formal comment period and a 14-day appeal period for administrative code interpretations_ See RMC 4-8-110. Here, the Planning Director issued the Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation on January 14, 2010." The formal code interpretation and its appeal period were published on the City's website. The appeal period expired on January 28, 2010.18 Thus, any appeals filed after those dates are untimely and prohibited under Washington's Land Use Petition Act ("LUPA"). Moreover, the Washington Supreme Court has previously held that an issuing locality cannot collaterally attack the validity of its own land use decisions outside the LUPA 21-day appeals period. Chelan County v. Nykrezm, 146 Wn2d 904 (2002). In Nykreim, Chelan County's own planning director erroneously approved a boundary line adjustment ("BLA") that was contrary to law in that it'created three lots out of one, " See Land Use Petition Act ("LUPA"), RCW Chapter 36.70C; see also Habitat Watch v. Skagit County, 155 Wn-2d 397, 410-11 (2005) (holding that a challenge to a grading permit was an unacceptable collateral attack on the issuance of an improperly granted special use permit); see also Samuel's Furniture, Inc. v. Dept of Ecology, 147 Wn2d 440, 54 P.3d 1194 (2002) (Department of Ecology is barred from collaterally attacking the city's allegedly improper determination that the property was outside its shoreline jurisdiction or not subject to shoreline Management Act jurisdiction through a later enforcement action); Chelan County v. Nykreim, 146 Wm2d 904, 52 P_3d 1 (2002) (holding that LUPA's statutory time limits prevent the county from revoking an improperly granted boundary line adjustment); Wenatchee Sportsmen Assn v. Chelan County, 141 Wn2d 169, 4 P.3d 123 (2000) (holding that a challenge to a development permit was an improper collateral attack on the improper rezone of the area in violation of the Growth Management Act)- " See Attachment 3. 16 No appeals were filed during the applicable appeal period. APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT - 8 GDrdnnDert 2025 First Avenue, Sv>te 50D Seattle, wA 98121-3140 [2D67 382-9540 I instead of simply adjusting the boundary lines of existing lots. Id. at 911-12. Fourteen 2 months after approving the BLA, the County discovered the mistake and challenged the 3 decision in superior court_ Id. at 914. The Court found that because Chelan County failed 4 to timely appeal an erroneous land use decision made by its own planning director, it 5 6 could not file an action for declaratory relief challenging the BLA granted to the applicant 7 even though it contravened county code. Id. g Finally, both Habitat Watch and Wenatchee Sportsmen Assn v. Chelan County, 9 141 Wn.2d 169, 4 P.3d 123 (2000) support the argument that the City's code 10 interpretations cannot be collaterally attacked in a different City decision. See Habitat 11 Watch, 155 Wn.2d at 410-411 (`Because appeal of the special use permit and its 12 extensions are time barred under LUPA, Habitat Watch cannot collaterally attack there 13 14 through its challenge to the grading permit"); Wenatchee Sportsmen, 141 Wn.2d at 173 15 ("WSA's failure to file a timely LUPA challenge to the rezone bars it from collaterally 16 challenging the validity of the rezone in this action opposing the project application"). 17 The Hearing Examiner's Decisions are essentially an untimely collateral attack on 18 the Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation. The Hearing Examiner cites no 19 authority in his Decisions that permits the rejection of a formally adopted code 20 interpretation. The Hearing Examiner himself admits in his Reconsideration Decision that 21 22 the "interpretation appears to permit development of [Modified] Lot 12." The Applicant 23 respectfully requests that the City Council correct the Hearing Examiner's LUPA 24 25 APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT - 9 6 rdO OM 2025 rirst Avc r_ Suite 500 Seattle, WA 48121-3i40 (206) 38z-9540 } 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8i 9I 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 violation, reaffirm the Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation, and modify the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat approval to include Modified Lot 12. B. Even if the Hearing Examiner Could Contest the Talbot Road. Urban- S arator Code Inte retation City Staff s InLeMretation is Correct. Consistent with the Planning Director's code interpretation, the Urban Separator Regulations can only reasonably be interpreted to apply to the portion of the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat subject to the overlay. The mere fact that the City Council chose to zone only part of the Wilson. Park Preliminary Plat site R-I evidences that this was the legislature's intent and supports staffs interpretation. R-8 zoning is not an urban separator zone.19 Had the City Council wanted the entire lot to be subject to the Urban Separator regulations, and, more specifically, RMC 4-3-100(E)(2)(a)'s 50% gross site area requirement, it would have zoned the entire site R-I instead of zoning the majority of the j parcel R-8. Moreover, substantial weight is given to the agency's interpretation of the statutes it administers which are within the agency's specialized expertise. Manlce Lumber Co. v. Diehl, 91 Wn.App. 793, 802, (1998). An agency's interpretation will be upheld if it is a plausible construction of the statute or rule. Seatoma Convalescent Or v. Dep't of Soc. & Health Servs., 82 Wn_App. 495, 518 (1996). Here, the Planning Director's interpretation of RMC 4-3-110 is entitled to deference. In contrast, the Hearing Examiner's interpretation of the City's Urban Separator regulations conflicts with the actual language of RMC 4-3-110. In his Decisions, the tl) Renton Comprehensive Plan, Policy LU-147, p. IY-26. APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT - 10 GOrdanOi� - 2025 First Avenue, suite 500 Seattle, WA 98121-1190 (205) . -9540 I Hearing Examiner concludes that the Urban Separator designated portion of the Wilson 2 Park Preliminary Plat site should remain undeveloped_ See Attachment 1; see also 3 Attachment 2, Conclusion 41. This effectively means that 100% of the property located 4 within the Talbot Road Urban Separator should be dedicated as non -revocable open space 5 6 tract. A 100% requirement is notably absent from RMC 4-3-110, and is, in fact, directly 7 contradictory to the 50% dedication requirement found in RMC 4-3-110(E)(2)(a). A g legislative body is presumed not to include unnecessary language when it enacts 9 legislation. See Davis v. State ex rel. Dept of Licensing, 137 Wn.2d 957, 969 (1999) ("A 10 fundamental canon of construction holds a statute should not be interpreted so as to render 11 one part inoperative."); Judd v. Am, Tel. & TeL Co_, 152 Wn.2d 195, 202 (2004) (no 12 portion of a statute shall be rendered meaningless or superfluous through interpretation). 13 14 A statutory interpretation that conflicts with a statute is given no deference. AFelson v. 15 Appleway Chevrolet, 160 Wn.2d 173, 184 (2007). Here, the interpretation of RMC 4-3- 16 110(e)(2)(a) put forward by the Hearing Examiner conflicts with its 50% dedication 17 requirement, or, at best, renders it inoperative. Thus, it must be rejected. 18 C_ Without the Limitation in the Planning Director's Code Interpretation, the City's 19 Urban S arator Regulations May Violate RCW 82.02.020. 20 Washington courts have looked critically at regulations that impose across-the- 21 board open space requirements or clearing limitations that are not directly related to the 22 level of development.oz impacts created by a specific development proposal. See, e.g., Isla 23 Verde Int'1 Holdings, Inc. v.

The Urban Separator open space requirement, particularly if imposed on the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat parcel without the limitation identified in the Planning Director's code interpretation, would run afoul of the legal limitations discussed in Isla Verde and Citizens' Alliance_ The Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation, applying the Urban Separator open space requirement on only that portion of the parcel located within the Urban Separator zone, strikes a more appropriate and reasonable limitation on the requirement that reduces the City's vulnerability in imposing the requirement on parcels such as the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat parcel. Appellant has previously, and continues to, express his willingness to comply with the Urban Separator open space requirement, provided it only applies to that portion of the parcel located within the Urban Separator zone, thus allowing the City to include Modified Lot 12 within the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat approval.

The Modifications to Lot 12 Proposed by the Applicant in his Request for Reconsideration. Address the Concerns Raised by the Hearin Examiner in his Original Decision. As summarized in Section Ill entitled "FACTS" above, the Applicant in his Reconsideration Request20 sought to address all of the Lot 12 concerns raised in the Hearing Examiner's Original Decision. By modifying the location of Lot 12 and its associated open space area, the Applicant reduced the length of retaining walls required and shifted a wall farther to the east to further reduce impacts to adjoining property owners; reduced visual impacts by replacing a 20-foot retaining wall with two stepped up rockeries 6-feet to 8-feet in height, retained more significant trees; and substantially reduced the amount of grading required within the portion of the site designated Urban Separator.21 Indeed, the Hearing Examiner recognized in his Reconsideration Decision that shifting the location of Modified Lot 12 "does reduce the impact on the properties to the west.�22 Further, modifications to Lot 12 bring the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat even more into conformance with Community Design Element, Policy CD- I", which encourages developers to adjusting site plans to preserve slopes, trees, and vegetation. While RMC 4-7-130(C)(1)(B) prohibits the creation of a lot that primarily has slopes forty percent (40%) without adequate area at lesser slopes upon which development may occur, this prohibition is inapplicable to Modified Lot 12 — it does not have slopes over 40% and 21 See Attachment 5. 2] Id 22 Attachment 1, p. 1. 23 Renton Comprehensive Plan, Community Design Element, Policy CD-1, p.

Park Preliminary Plat application. The lots in the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat range from 4,500 to 13,006 square feet with an overall density of 7.99 dwelling units per acre. Staff concluded that the 12-lot Wilson Park Preliminary Plat complied with the City's underlying zoning designation. See Attachment 4 at pp. 6-7. Moreover, proposed Lots S through 11, are wider than required by the City's regulations (60 feet versus 50 feet) in order to meet the intent of RMC 4-7-220(C)(4) and Housing Element Policy H-924, which recommends Iarger lots in steeper parts of subdivision sites. Thus, there is no evidence in the record that the proposed density of the 12-lot Wilson Park Preliminary Plat violates the City's applicable development regulations. For these reasons, the Hearing Examiner had no basis in the record or the law to eliminate Modified Lot 12 from the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat approval based on compliance with the City's comprehensive plan policies and code requirements including density, lot dimensions, building standards, open space, and setbacks. V. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, Applicant respectfully requests that the City Council modify both the Hearing Examiner's Decisions, affirm the Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation issued by the staff on January 14, 2010, and approve the Modified Lot ' Renton Comprehensive Plan, Housing Element, Policy 1-1-9, p.

Grady Way Renton, WA 98057 RE: Wilson Park LUA-09I49, PP, ECF Dear Mr. Kaufman: CI —I Y OF RENTON APR 0 7 2010 RECEIVED Or Y CLERK'S OFFICE Pursuant to Title W, Chapter 8, Section 100G of Renton's Municipal code, please consider this letter a request for reconsideration of the April I'`. 2010 recommendation to the City Council for approval of the Wilson Park subdivision. The reason for the reconsideration request is that information regarding Lot 12 is available that was not available at the Hearing. At the Hearing, the possibility of flipping Lot 12 and malting the open space easement on the west side was raised, however, plans were not available at the Hearing that would show the ramifications of the change. The conceptual grading, drainage, utility and tree plans have now been revised to reflect the change to Lot 12 and are hereby submitted with this letter in support of the reconsideration request. As it turns out, the revision to lot 12 has the following advantages: • The wall along the east property line of Lots 13 through 16, Geneva Court is substantially reduced.. Instead of a 200 ft long wall along the property lines, we now have approximately 55 ft of wall. Two stepped rockeries 6' to 8' in height would follow the alignment of the new roadway across the westerly portion of Lot 12. The rockeries would then turn north to allow a 10 ft wide ramp access the open space easement on the westerly portion of Lot 12. This allows the retention of most of the significant trees in the open space easement on Lot 12 and substantially reduces the visual impact of a wall to the Geneva Court neighbors_ Western Washington Division 165 NE Juniper St, Ste 201, Issaquah, WA 98027 Phone: (425) 392-0250 Fax: (425) 391-3055 Eastern Washington Division 108 East 2n" Street, Cle Mum, WA 98922 Phone: (509) 674-7433 Fax: (509) 674-7419 www.Encompass$S.net 1 t Fred Kaufman Hearing Examiner City of Renton Page two With the proposed revision, the number of significant trees that will be retained on site is 24, which is only one less than the 25 trees required to be retained. This is a significant increase from the initial proposal of 15 retained trees and will only require the planting of 6 two-inch replacement trees. • The grading on Lot 12 will be substantially reduced as well, leaving most of the proposed open space easement undisturbed native vegetation. Although the primary reason for non approval of Lot 12 appears to be the impact of the 20 ft wall on the neighbors, it appears that a secondary issue is density. While elimination of Lot 12 would reduce the density somewhat, it would not provide that much of an environmental benefit to the site. Lots 8 through 11 are wider than required by zoning (60 ft vs. 50 ft) as it was the applicants intent to build nicer (wider) homes on the property than what is the norm by today's standards. By providing wider lots than required by the zoning code, the intent of Section 4-7-220 c.4, Renton's Hillside Subdivision code recommending larger lots iD steeper parts of the site is met. The requirement to stab a road to the north in it's present location is one that staff considered at length, so with the road location established, and lots 8 through 11 wider than normal, the elimination of Lot 12 would have little beneficial impact to the site. The proposed revision of the open space easement location to the west side of Lot 12 accomplishes the same goal and retains the lot. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

The proposed project is a 2.5 acre site, the nearest access street is South 55tf' Street. The access street is very steep and has several serpentines with a speed limit of 25 MPH. This site has been constrained by trying to get access to it due to the steep slopes. There also have been some difficulties due to City Code because of the Urban Separator Overlay and all the various zoning designations. The final plat has gone through several revisions to meet all requirements, this presentation today has 12 lots suitable for the development of single-family residential homes_ There are three open space tracts, Tracts B, C, and D. There is no Tract A. Tract B is greater than a 40% slope and as such is a protected area that cannot be touched. Tracts C. and D are open space areas and are split by the zoning designation. R-1 zone is on the west side and R-S zone is on the east. All open spaces are considered reserved areas and would be planted with trees by the applicant. Wilson Park Preliminary Plat bile No.: LUA--09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 3 Part of Lot 12, to the north is within the R- I zone, a portion of this Iot would have an easement overlaying it to be considered open space that satisfies the Urban Separator requirements. It is not a separate Tract, but an area that will have an easement over the top. The remainder of the lots in the plat are between 4,500 and 6,270 square feet. There is a lot of topography on the lots and in order to develop the lots there would need to be some retaining walls constructed. The wails would vary in size from 12-20 feet in height. One retaining wall would be located on the eastern border of Lot 7 and the other would be located on the western border of Lot 12. The retaining wall on the east side would be either poured concrete or soil nail composition; the wall on the west side would be poured concrete or stabilized soil. The walls abutting the property both to the north and the west will have some impact to the property owners at least during construction and perhaps during maintenance. The applicant has been required to secure both construction and maintenance easements. The plan is to terrace those walls and landscape them, it has been requested by Staff that those walls be maintained by the Homeowner's Association_ The applicant would like to see the individual homeowners maintain the walls in their particular lot. The Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non -Significance — Mitigated with eleven mitigation measures. No appeals were filed. The project is compliant with both Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Plan policies. The density of the proposed plat is 7.99 dwelling units per acre. All lots comply with the minimum width and depth. The plat would be accessed via a new street that would extend from S 55a' Street. It would be a 50-foot right-of- way and enters into the plat, makes a curve and becomes S 53`d Place_ It eveatually ends in a "T" that will eventually extend to the north and south property lines with a gated emergency access at the south property line, All on -site roads will be dedicated rights -of -way - Because of the restraint in this plat, it would be required to have sidewalks and planting strips on one side of the roadway. The sidewalk and planting strip would be located along the west side of the street coming into the plat. There also would be a sidewalk and an 8-foot wide planting strip on the north side of South 53rd Place. The planting strip would be 5 feet wide along the north/south interior road. A tree inventory plan has been submitted, currently there are 101 trees on site, of those 25 must be retained. The applicant has stated that they can only retain 15 trees. The applicant has proposed 60 trees to be planted primarily in the open space areas (Tracts C and D as well as the open space area that is part of Lot 12). Staff has asked for a split rail fence to define these areas_ A goal of the Urban Separator is to create corridors of open space for wildlife to roam through. There are only two areas of the City where the Urban Separator applies, the Talbot Bill Area and May Creek. In Talbot, the Urban Separator slices through the hill and takes just portions of the property and this is why Lot 12 has been designed with the open space that will be surrounded with a split rail fence. Police and Fire have indicated that there are sufficient resources to serve this area_ The project is located in the Renton School District and they do have sufficient room for the projected new students_ This project would be subject to School Impact Fees. Wilson Park Preliminary Plat File No__ LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 4 There have been some letters sent to the City of Renton concerning the safety on S 55's Street and the new driveways that would be taking access onto that street A safety evaluation was done and it was determined that the roadway was safe based on a higher speed than what is currently allowed on S 55`� Street A drainage report was completed and showed that the parcel to the east drains onto this site and runoff from this site flows to the west into Geneva Court, this flow collects in a drain and flows into the storm system located in the road inside Geneva Court and finally flows into Springbrook Creek. The drainage vault for this project would be located under the roadway with an easement for maintenance. The opening to the vault would not be located in the roadway, but placed into the landscaping or sidewalk areas adj acemt to the vault. There has been vandalism where the grates have been removed which creates a grave traffic safety issue. Water service would be provided by Soos Creek, the Certificate of Water Availability has been issued for this site. Sewer service would be provided by the City of Renton with a minimum 8-inch diameter extension required_ The public streets would become part of the City System with the exception of the emergency access road. It was requested that a 9`t Condition be added indicating that the grate covering the drainage vault be located in the sidewalk or the landscaping. A 15 Minute Recess was taken. The Hearing Resumed at 10.31 am_ Shupe Holmberg, 165 NE Juniper Street, Issaquah 98027 stated that if the proposed plat is approved subject to the recommended Staff conditions they believe that the public's interest in safety and welfare would be met, Condition #5 calls for the Homeowner's Association to maintain the retaining walls. It would appear to the applicant that the individual homeowners should maintain those walls within their own respective lots. That would involve Lot 7 and 12. The Drainage and Grading plan that was shown today is not the latest version. The north wall would still be a 5- foot high retaining wall. On the east portions of Lots 4-7 there would be two staged rockeries that would be 2 to 6 feet in height with the highest part being at the north. end_ The retaining wall on the west side is the same on both plans. The retaining wall on Lot 12 would be approximately 20-feet tail. There would be a fence on top of the 20-foot wall. Since the 20-foot wall does cover several parcels, it might be best if the Homeowner's Association would maintain that particular wall. In the drainage report it does state that the runoff from the site currently runs through Geneva Court. The proposal for this site is to pick up the drainage, pipe it to the detention vault within the off -site roadway and discharge that to the roadside ditch on S 55`h Street. Any drainage impacts to Geneva Court would be lessened, no drainage from this site would go to Geneva Court. The 2009 King County Stormwater Manual would apply to installation and operation of the vault. Each individual lot will have a connection and drainage would be piped directly to the conveyance system. Wilson Park Preliminary Plat Pile No_: LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April I, 2010 Page 5 The emergency access to the site would be paved. Some cut and grading will take place along the road and adjacent lots. Vincent Geglia, 11410 NE 124'" St., ,Ste. 590, Kirkland 98034 stated he had an aerial photo of the site and surrounding areas. The new public road off of S 551 Street to the site was pointed out showing that the new interior road, S 53d would hit just on the outside comer of the curve giving the optimum sight distance looking in both directions on S 55h. The site distance does meet the City of Renton requirements. Paul Witt 617 S 53`a P1, Renton 98059 stated that he Iives in Geneva Court, Lot 13. He is not opposed to this project, but does want to make sure that any project in the area is done correctly and safely. This is a challenging project, from his front porch up to the far side ofthis new site, it is over 110-feet in difference. His concern is to make sure that the retaining wails along the west side are done correctly, he still feels a .little vague about exactly what materials are being used to create these retaining walls. He was further concerned about the terminus and vagueness of how far the wall at his corner lot would continue. Going into his back yard and looking up, there would just be a 20-foot wall going straight up, how is that going to look At that location, the road would be above grade. That roadway could be prone to accidents especially in the snow and ice. He would prefer to see the maintenance kept with the Homeowner's Association, it sounds great on paper, however, in reality it most likely will not get done. It seems strange to have a Homeowner's Association responsible for something built on City property. The vault that they are responsible for is not on any property they have vested interest in, it is on a City right-of-way on a dedicated street. It would stand to reason that the engineering would be strong enough to hold large vehicles_ Steven Beck, 4735 NE 0' Street, Renton 98059 stated that he is the manager of Amberwood LLC and consultant for Wilson Park Preliminary Plat before the Hearing Examiner today. Lots 4, 5, 6, and 7 to the east will have a rockery on their site. He was involved with the Cherie Lane plat several years ago and recently brought plans to a meeting showing how rockeries and vegetation was handled in the Cherie Land. It was not pretty. They did not want that on this site, so everywhere they can, even on the west side to try to step up and do rockeries and vegetation, it looks much better and is better for the environment. On Lots 4, 5, 6, and 7 where there is approximately a 120-foot depth, the plans include a garage under a two story basement with decks off the main floor. These plans were used in Cherie Lane and worked very well. With that house plan, the back yards can be tiered up with 4-6 foot rockeries at a time and use vegetation on tbem. Lot 12, they have discussed how to do that, possibly sloping the hill up slowly to the building pad. If a wail is used, it would have to be textured or soil nail used, but the end product would have to look good. Kayren Kittrick, Community and Economic Development stated that Geneva Court has a north connection, a small bit of right -of --way that was reserved for future use. Rockeries four feet and over must be structurally engineered. They require a separate building permit and a separate inspection, there is a special inspection required with a structural engineer on site at the time of the inspection. Wilson Park Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 6 The Examiner stated that the road is pretty much at the south end of the retaining wall leaving no room to create terraced or sloped retaining walls_ Ms. Kittrick stated that her concern is that could be a focal point for erosion, she will instruct her staff to pay particular attention to that area. If the wall stops right there, something will have to be placed there to protect the area. The wall and transition would be required to meet building standards. S 55'h ideally would be required to have sidewalk, curb and gutter. The problem is that is a third party property and therefore if there were to be any improvements through there it should be associated with designs to accommodate what may be developed on that proerty. There have been inquiries on that property and it willhappen at some time. It is also possible that S 55 should be something that the City is looking at as a general overall plan as opposed to putting it on each individual property. They are not prepared to do that today, but it is on their agenda. Road A will either be called Smithers or Morris, it has not been determined as yet. The preference at this point is to call it Smithers. The north/south connection from S 53`d to S 55h will be subject to traffic and building requirements. The sidewalk is situated next to the slope and will require a pedestrian level barrier or guard rail of some type. There is a possibility that the school bus may pickup children on S 55e' that has not been established as yet The drainage with the walls must meet the 2009 Manual requirements. The vault would be located in the dedicated right-of-way and the grate would be placed outside the traffic right-of-way. The sewer line would run down S 55`s Street. Because of the protected area on Lot 12,'they can only clear 35%. It seems it may be complicated to build the wall, do the grading and remain at less than 35%. They will also need the permission of Mr. Witt and any other neighbors prior to building this retaining wall. Her opinion is that the maintenance of that particular retaining wall should be spread over the whole group in a Homeowner's Association. That particular wall on Lot 12 is in essence holding the entire plat in place. It might have to be in an easement where all the property owners have an undivided interest, which may be stronger than putting it on the Homeowner's Association. There could be a possibility of flipping Lot 12 and making the open area next to the retaining wall rather than the house. Mr. Holmberg stated that he had a Geotech engineer present, but did not have a structural engineer in the room today. The Examiner asked if this wall could be built without disturbing the properties to the west. Permission would be needed to shore it up as it is being built or the piles being driven from the top for the soldier walls and then doing what was necessary. Mr. Holmberg stated that technically they could build the wall on Lot 12 with no off -site easements. It would be a fill behind the wall. It will have impacts on the four lots in Geneva Court because it is going to be a large wall in their backyard. They did look at putting the building area on the west side of Lot 12, there was less of a building envelope doing it that way, but they could revisit that possibility. It could also be a condition that they work with the homeowners of Geneva Court to try to address some of the visual impacts of that wall. Wilsoa Park Preliminary Plat File No.. LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 7 They are proposing larger lots in this development because of the retaining walls and rockeries that are necessary because of the steep slopes. Lot 12 is a difficult lot Moin Kadri, 19213 Kenlake Place NE, Kenmore 98028 stated the soil investigation that was done found the soil in that area to be a glacial till and generally has a fairly high sheer strength. If the foundations are built on that native material that can withstand the bearing capacities and even a retaining wall_ The report has options for three different types of retaining structures, in this type of environment, taking care of drainage is very important. The Examiner stated that he had some concerns with the retaining wall, its length and height and its affect on the. properties to the west as well as supporting anything built on Lot 12. He may impose another condition for Lot 12, in that if it can be built it can be built, but it may actually yield to the Urban Separator_ These are steep slopes and adjoin other people's property, there are a lot of things involved in malting sure it is done safely without jeopardizing anybody on this site or adjacent sites. Ms. Henning checked on the requirements for a Hillside Subdivision. Lots are required to be larger than the minimum size. Erosion control, grading and Geotech information seem to be the criteria. This is a difficult site, the applicant has been very responsive in working with the City. The remaining concerns would be how clearing would be accomplished on Lot 12 in order to preserve the number of trees required and accommodate all the improvements. There will be export from the site which does not seem to be severe. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and no farther comments from staff. The hearing closed at 11:36 a.m_ FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMNfENDATION Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant, Robert Wilson, filed a request for an approval of a Preliminary Plat for the subdivision of a 108,884 square foot (2.5 acre) parcel in the R-1, R-8 and R 14 zones and mi the Urban Separator Overlay. The original proposal encompassed 13-lots and 4-tracts (for open space and storm detention). The revised proposal encompasses 12-lots and 3-tracts (for open space). 2. The yellow file containing the staff report the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) documentation and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit 41. 3. The Environmental Review Committee (ERC), the CAYs responsible official issued a Determination of Nan -Significance - Mitigated (DNS-Nl). 4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. 5. The subject site is located at 720 South 55th Street. The subject site is located north of 55th and does not front directly on that street. The subject site is east of Talbot Road South and is generally south of w Wilson Park Preliminary Plat Pile No.: LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 8 Valley Medical Center and directly south of the eastern portion of the Sikh Temple site. An existing home is located on the eastem end of the parcel. That home would be removed if the plat is approved, The map element of the Comprehensive PIan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of a variety of residential uses ranging from low density to medium density uses, but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. 7. The subject site is currently zoned R-1 (Single Family - 1 dwelling unit/acre), R-8 (Single Family - 8 dwelling units/acre) and RR 14 (medium density - 14 units/acre). The R-14 portion is only about 10 feet wide. The subject site is also subject to the Talbot Road Urban Separator Overlay requiring preservation of a corridor of open space_ The overlay is located. near the westernmost portion of the subject site and is the portion zoned R-1. It is approximately 23,795 square feet_ An Administrative Interpretation found that only 50 percent of the area defined by the urban separator rather than 50 percent of the entire site should be restricted to open spare use. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 3268 enacted in December 1978. 10. The subject site is approximately 2.49 acres or 108,884 square feet_ The rectangular subject site is approximately 207 feet wide (north to south) by 510 feet long. The southwest corner of the subject site is approximately 290 feet north of South 55th_ 11. The subj ect site slopes downward over 110 feet from approximately 3 70 feet in the northeast comer of the site to approximately 254 feet at its western boundary. The slopes range from 13 percent 39 percent with an area exceeding 40 percent east of the southwest corner of the site_ Slopes exceeding 40 percent are designated as protected slopes. 12. The site's sloped topography means the site falls within the definition of a Hillside Subdivision. Larger lots and decreased density are permitted in Hillside Subdivisions. 13. The applicant proposes grading the subject site to create building pads for homes as well as appropriate grades for roads to and through the site. The applicant proposes approximately 17,000 cubic yards of cut and approximately 6,000 cubic yards of structural fill. 14. The tree inventory showed 101 significant trees on the subject site. Code requires the retention of 25 trees whereas the applicant proposes retaining 15 trees. The replacement ratio is six (6) trees for each one removed that should have been retained. Sixty new trees would be planted mainly in the open space corridors. Additional street trees would be required 15. Access to the subject site would be provided via a new public roadway that connects S 55th with the subject site across a neighboring, third -party property. This south to north roadway would be paved to a width of 26 feet and have an eight foot planter strip and a 5 foot sidewalk on its west side. It would connect to a new roadway, Road A, through the site that would curve to the east and end in a T- intersection with another north -south road, Road B. This Road B would extend to the north and south Wilson Park Preliminary Plat Pile No.; LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 9 property lines. The north Ieg would eventually connect to properties north of the subject site_ The south leg would connect to a secondary, gated emergency access easement that connects to S 55th. The emergency road would have 20 feet of paving. Road A, the main road through the site would have a public right -of --way 42 feet wide and would continue the sidewalk on its north side. A modification to reduce Road A to less than 42 feet was denied. 16. The applicant proposes dividing the subject site into 12 lots and 3 tracts (labeled Tracts B, C and D - there is no Tract A). The three tracts are located south of Road A as you enter the plat from the west, followed by Proposed Lots 1, 2 and 3. Proposed Lots 4.7 are located along the eastern edge of the plat, east of Road B. Proposed Lots 8-12 are located along the north side of Road A. Tract B would encompass the critical slopes_ Tracts C and D would be open space areas. As initially proposed the eastern portion of Proposed Lot 12 would be an open space easement as it is governed by the Urban Separator overlay. 17. The lots would range in size from 4,500 square feet to 13,006 square feet_ Most of the lots would be between 5,400 square feet and just under 6,000 square feet. The different zones have different development standards. Proposed Lots 1 - i I are subject to the R-8 standards. Proposed Lot 12 is subject to the R-I standards. There are actually no lots subject to the R-14 standards. Staff noted that the proposed lots appear to meet the appropriate zoning standards. is. The applicant proposes installing a number of rockeries along the north and east side of the plat to terrace the lots and provide more Ievel building pads or yard areas. These rockeries will vary in height. The initial plans show them as 5 and 6 foot rockeries_ 29. The applicant proposes a tall retaining wall along the western boundary of the subject site adjacent to the four (4) lots of the adjacent Geneva Court Plat. The wall will be twenty (20) feet tau. Walls or rockeries will also be provided along the entry road from S 55th to provide suitable grades for a road in the steeper slopes. 20. Construction of walls or rockeries along property lines may require cooperation and even construction easements from adjoining property owners. The applicant cannot enter upon or injure neighboring properties without legal consent. The ERC imposed conditions to address the visual impacts of the large retaining structures. 21. The three zoning districts each have their own density standards and staff calculated that they all comply with their underlying standards. The overall density for the plat would be 7.99 dwelling units per acre after subtracting sensitive areas and roadways. 22. The subject site is located within the Renton School District. The project is expected to generate approximately 5 or 6 school age children_ These students would be spread across the grades and would be assigned on a space available basis. The proposal is subject to the Renton School Impact fee. 23. The development will increase traffic approximately 10 trips per unit or approximately 120 trips for the 12 single family homes. Approximately ten percent of the trips, or approximately 12 additional peak hour trips will be generated in the morning and evening. Wilson Park Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 10 24. There was concern about traffic and sight distance issues where the plays access road intersects S 55th. Accidents along this roadway have been reported, including a fatality. The traffic analysis indicated that there is adequate sight distance on this area of the curving, hilly street. S 55th and the access to the plat may be impaired in inclement, snowy weather. 25. Stormwater from the east drains onto the subject site and then west toward Geneva Court where it is collected and conveyed to 53rd and Talbot. This stormwater will be collected on the subject site and conveyed to an off -site detention vault located under the western roadway that connects the plat to S 55th. The project will have to comply with the 2009 King County Stormwater Manual. 26. Sewer service will be provided by the City. 27. Water service will be provided by the Soos Creek District. CONCLUSIONS. While the division of the subject site into additional lots appears to serve the public use and interest, the twelve lot plat is excessively dense. The proposed plat attempts to maximize the density limitations of the subject site and it does so by sacrificing too much of the natural terrain of the property, particularly, the area designated by the Talbot Urban Separator Overlay. Not only does it sacrifice the natural slopes but it would impose a huge 20 foot tall retaining wall on its neighbors creating an aesthetic blight in the rear yards of four separate homes. Rather than blend this plays terrain with its western neighbors, it creates an obstacle to neighborliness. Staff calculated that the plat would achieve a density of 7.99 dwelling units per acre. That certainiy approaches the permitted density of 8 dwelling units per acre, the upper range, of the R-8 including what should be an R I dwelling where the lot size is ordinarily one (1) dwelling unit for an over 43,000 square foot area. The Hillside Subdivision regulations suggest reducing densities on steeper properties. The comprehensive plan suggests making use of the natural contours of a site rather than substantially altering them. The applicant will be substantially altering the grades and slopes of a majority of the property, particularly the easternmost lots. It will also be substantially altering property on either side of the new road connecting the site to S 55th. It does not serve the public use and interest to further alter or damage the natural contours along the westernmost, Urban Separator portion of the property, in addition to the other alterations necessary to develop this otherwise substantially constrained parcel. Proposed Lot 12 and Road A are proposed to occupy too much of what should be protected property. Eliminating Proposed Lot 12 will also reduce the potential issues of a 20 foot wall holding up a large area of slope behind the existing Geneva Court homes. Proposed Lot 12 should be eliminated from the plat and its natural features and slope preserved. 2_ An eleven lot plat will serve the public use and interest even though it will still substantially alter the terrain of the site and require engineered rockeries or walls along the road and easternmost lots. It will create eleven new parcels that can provide additional housing choices for residents of the City. It . apparently can be served by urban services including domestic water and sewer and storm water. It appears that the stormwater can be contained or controlled by inline systems and an off -site vault under the new road. The access to the subject site might preclude access during inclement weather but it is not the only area subject to such constraints as hilly terrain and steeper roads are the only means of accessing certain parcels. Staff reviewed the traffic report and it appears that while the new access road will be steep it can meet engineering standards and its intersection provides reasonable sight distance for Wilson Park Preliminary Plat Pile No.: LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 11 all turning directions. The applicant will be providing mitigation fees to offset some of its impacts on emergency services, traffic, parks and schools. The development of eleven new lots should also increase the tax base of the City. The provision of Road B, the eastern north -south road will provide secondary access for emergency vehicles to the south and a potential connector to the worth so that if additional development occurs north of the subject site through access might be available on public roads_ A sign should be installed warning potential residents that Road B might be a through road with additional traffic in the future. 4. The Zoning, Comprehensive Plan and Urban Separator Al recognized that this site would have additional development potential. The development of the subject site will obviously increase traffic on a steep„ serpentine road. It will also introduce what should be short-term construction noise and impacts as well as the permanent additional impacts of an increased population on a parcel which now only supports one home. In conclusion, while the development of the subject site was envisioned by the City's Zoning and Policies, the site is also severely constrained by topography and access limitations. Reducing the density by one lot will not unduly limit development of the site, still provide additional housing choices and also retain some of the natural features that the comprehensive plan and the urban separator intended to protect. Reducing the density by one lot will also protect neighboring properties from severe disruption along their eastern boundaries and protect them from an unsightly 20 foot tall wall. RT CONEWENDAT ION: The City Council should approve an ELEVEN LOT plat of the subject site subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall comply with all requirements of the Determination of Non -Significance -- Mitigated that was issued by the Environmental Review Committee on February 22, 2020 for Project File No. LUA-09-140, ECF, PP. 2.

(File No. LUA09-140, ECF, PP ) Ms. Walton: Thank you for the opportunity to provide written comments on the above appeal. As owners of property adjacent to the subject site (located directly below/west of the site), we have an interest in insuring negative impacts are avoided and appropriate measures are taken in the possible development of this site. We became Parties of Record for this application last year, submitting written comments in November of 2009 and attending the Hearing held by the Examiner in March of 2010. While we were informed of the Hearing Examiner's final decision on this application, we were not informed as a Party of Record of the request for reconsideration or the Hearing Examiner's denial of that request. When we recently received notice of the Appeal to City Council on this matter, we were at a disadvantage in that we did not have the information contained in the request for reconsideration submitted by the applicant. We were able to obtain a copy of the letter of request for reconsideration from the Clerk's office, but do not have the detailed engineering material on the reconsideration request. As owners of existing homes located adjacent to the proposed Plat, we maintain our concerns over four specific areas in the Appeal (these are consistent with concerns shared in the initial Plat application). These are safety, drainage, privacy and maintenance. 1. SAFETY This site sits on a fairly significant slope. While site development documents may address the actual slopes on the listed property, we are concerned that development plans include addressing impacts to existing slopes below (west) of the proposed site. We remain concerned that changes to Lot 12, as well as the entire west border of the site, address the close proximity of the roadway to our adjoining property. In that the Plat's east/west roadway makes a 90 degree turn to the south directly above our adjoining property, we feel steps must be taken to insure that vehicles cannot, under any circumstances, (especially ice/snow conditions) slide from the roadway and down the hill onto our adjoining property/homes. An initially discussed concrete retaining wall along the Plat's west boundary would address this along Lot 12 and should be included adjacent to all down slope abutting properties for public safety, which would include all 4 Geneva Court adjunct properties. 2. DRAINAGE We are concerned that every effort be made to insure that the changes in site drainage not impact property located directly below the proposed development. It is unknown how the proposed two tiered rockery will be engineered to provide drainage that does not impact existing homes below Lot 12 or any other adjunct properties should the rockery be extended. 3. PRIVACY The proximity of the Plat being located directly above the Geneva Court subdivision creates the potential for significant impacts to existing homeowners. Any development of areas adjunct to property lines of all 4 Geneva Court homes should be considered in privacy screening. Proposed site development mentions either a road or common areas adjunct to current Geneva Court properties. Any of these would equally impact our properties. We request a "buffer" to minimize this impact whether that is a wall, green belt, or fence, etc. 4. MAINTENANCE We understand that requirements made by the City for this Plat would be required of the owner/developer (to Lot 12 and also the entire site). Our concerns are that once the site infrastructure is done and the developer/contractor moves on that home owners living in that new development will be required and should be able to maintain the required items that are common to our adjoining property. These include any rockery, retaining walls, fences and vaults, etc. If these responsibilities/items are not clearly specified by the City in the approval of the Plat or well monitored during development, the potential for us as adjacent property owners to have to deal with failed design and/or lack of maintenance of those structures dramatically increases. Please make every effort in the appeal/approval process to insure that requirements and responsibility are indicated, designed, engineered and constructed reliably in order to avoid any problems in the future. The need to maintain, and the access to do so, a two -tiered rockery, where the tiering faces Geneva Court properties instead of tiering toward the new development, may not be obvious to those homeowners and could easily be overlooked. Geneva Court residents should not be burdened with maintenance of such a rockery. We have a two -tiered rockery in our neighborhood and there is a fair amount of maintenance needed and limited homeowners willing to do this.

INTRODUCTION Pursuant to Renton Municipal Code 4-8-110(F), Applicant Robert Wilson (the "Applicant") respectfully submits this appeal statement in support of its appeal of the Hearing Examiner's decision to eliminate Lot 12 from Applicant's Wilson Park Preliminary Plat, File No. LUA09-140, PP, ECF, including his Decision on Applicant's Request for Reconsideration dated May 18, 2010 (the "Reconsideration Decision")' and his underlying Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation dated April 1, 2010 (the "Original Decision")2 (collectively, the "Decisions"). The Reconsideration Decision is attached hereto as Attachment 1. The Original Decision is attached hereto as Attachment 2. APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT - 1 Go donDerf, 2025 Furst Avenue, Suite 500 Seattle, WA 98121-3140 =6) 362-9540 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 In his Decisions, the Hearing Examiner erroneously rejects the Planning Director's Administrative Policy/Code interpretation regarding the Talbot Urban Separator open space requirements dated January 14, 2010 (hereinafter the "Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation")'. Moreover, without basis in the facts or the requirements of City policy or code, the Hearing Examiner eliminated Lot 12 from the preliminary plat, contrary to the staff s recommendation, based on visual impacts to adjoining property owners to the west of the site and vague concerns regarding "appropriate density" in the Urban Separator portion of the lot. The Hearing Examiner's Decisions constitute an improper collateral attack on the Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation; are based on a flawed interpretation of the City of Renton's Urban Separator Overlay regulations (RMC 4-3-110); and are inconsistent with the City's standards for preliminary plat decisions. As such, the Hearing Examiner's Decisions are based on "substantial error[s] in fact and law"' and the Applicant respectfully requests that the Renton City Council ("City Council") modify both the Hearing Examiner's Decisions and approve inclusion of Lot 12 of the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat as part of the City's preliminary plat approval. 11. ASSIGNMENT OF ERRORS The Applicant hereby specifically assigns error to the following conclusions, recommendations, and decisions of the Hearing Examiner: (1) Original Decision, Conclusion #1; (2) Original Decision, Conclusion #5; (3) Original Decision, 3 Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation is attached hereto as Attachment 3. 4 RMC 4-8-11 O(F)(7), (8). APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT - 2 Gordon0e .. 2025 First Avenue, Suite 500 Seattle, WA 98121-3140 (206) 382-9540 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Recommendation #3; and (4) the Reconsideration Decision in its entirety. For the reasons discussed in length below, the Hearing Examiner erred in excluding Lot 12 from the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat Approval. First, the Hearing Examiner's Decisions constitute an improper collateral attack on the Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation that is barred by both the City's statutory 14-day appeal period for code interpretations (RMC 4-8-110) and the state's Land Use Petition Act. Second, the alternative interpretation of the Urban Separator regulations adopted in the Hearing Examiner's Decisions conflicts with both the legislative intent behind RMC 4-3-110 and the basic rules of statutory construction. Third, if the Planning Director's Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation is overturned, the Urban Separator regulations may violate RCW 82.02.020. Last, as modified in the Applicant's request for reconsideration,' Lot 12 resolves all of the concerns raised in the Hearing Examiner's Original Decision (i.e., visual impacts, significant tree retention, excessive grading, and retaining wall height) and meets the City's zoning, subdivision, and development regulations. Thus, in reaching his decision to exclude Lot 12, the Hearing Examiner made substantial errors in fact and law, which the Applicant respectfully requests the City Council modify by approving the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat with Lot 12. III. FACTS The Wilson Park Preliminary Plat site consists of 2.5 acres split up between the R- 14, R-1, and R-8 Zones.' The R-1 zoned portion of the site coincides with the Talbot Road s See Attachment 5. See Wilson Park Preliminary Plat application submittals attached hereto as Attachment 6. APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT - 3 2025 First Avenue. Suite 500 Seattle, WA 98121-3140 (206) 382-954C 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Urban Separator depicted in RMC 4-3-110(C)(2). The City has two Urban Separator 11 areas: May Valley and Talbot Road. See RMC 4-3- 110. In the May Valley Urban Separator, entire properties are included in the Urban Separator designation; whereas, in the Talbot Road Urban Separator, only portions of properties are within the Urban Separator. RMC 4-3-1 10(E)(2)(a) requires properties located within the Urban Separator to II dedicate 50% of the gross land area of the parcel or parcels as a non -revocable open space tract. In May Valley, since the entire property is designated Urban Separator, the dedication of 50% of the gross site area is required. In the Talbot Road Urban Separator, however, where only a very small portion of the site may be designated Urban Separator, the City has determined it is inequitable to require that 50% of the gross site area be retained.' Here, for instance, only 23,795 square feet of Wilson Park Preliminary Plat's 2.5-acre lot is designated Urban Separator. Fifty percent of that area would require 11,898 square feet of open space. Fifty percent of the gross site, however, is 54,442 square feet — more than twice the actual land area actually located within the Talbot Road Urban Separator. Instead, on January 14, 2010, following the Applicant's submittal of its preliminary plat application, the Planning Director issued the Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation. The interpretation states: Urban Separator regulations require dedication of 50% of designated properties gross area as open space. For properties in May Valley, where the entire site is within the Urban Separator, this is appropriate. However, See Attachment 6. APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT - 4 6, W6, Derr . 2025 First Avenue, Suite 500 Seattle, WA 98121-3140 (206) 382-9540 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 for properties in the Talbot area, where only a portion of the site is designated Urban Separator, the requirement for dedication of 50% of the area as open space is a hardship. By requiring 50% of the area designated as Urban Separator to be dedicated as open space, there is uniformity and fairness between the Talbot and May Valley areas. Properties in the Talbot Urban Separator will be required to dedicate 50% of the gross land area in the Urban Separator as open space, rather than 50% of the gross site area. The area to be dedicated may also include portions of the site abutting the Urban Separator, in order to create a contiguous open space corridor.' This Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation was posted on the City's website; formal comment and appeal periods were published; no appeals of this interpretation were filed; and the interpretation is currently pending before the City's Planning Commission as part of the 2010 annual docket list to be codified in the Renton Municipal Code next year. Pursuant to this code interpretation, the Applicant is required to dedicate 11,898 square feet of open space; however, the open space actually provided in the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat exceeds this requirement by more than 1,000 square feet.' In its Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner dated March 9, 2010 (the "Preliminary Report"), the City's Department of Community and Economic Development recommended approval of the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat containing 12 lots and 3 tracts for open space," The Preliminary Report concluded that the 12-lot Wilson Park Preliminary Plat complied with the City's preliminary plat criteria; Renton Comprehensive Plan designation; underlying zoning designation; and subdivision ft Id 9 Department of Community and Economic Development's Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner dated March 9, 2010, attached hereto as Attachment 4, at p. 9. 10 See Attachment 4.

The Hearing Examiner, however, rejected the Department's recommendation and, instead, recommended that the City Council approve the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat with only eleven lots.''- The Hearing Examiner based his decision to eliminate Lot 12 on the following criteria: Lot 12 sacrificed too much of the natural terrain of the area designated Talbot Road Urban Separator (even though it exceeded the amount of open space required under the Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation); elimination of Lot 12 preserved the site's natural features and slope; Lot 12 made the plat "excessively dense"; and the 20-foot retaining walls necessary to create Lot 12 imposed visual impacts on adjoining property owners directly to the west of site." On April 6, 2010, the Applicant submitted a timely reconsideration request to the Hearing Examiner. In an attempt to address the concerns of the Hearing Examiner as stated in his Original Decision, the Applicant's reconsideration request submittal relocated Lot 12 to the east (hereinafter "Modified Lot 12") and placed the open space easement on the west side of Modified Lot 12." The relocation of Modified Lot 12 : (1) substantially reduced the length of the wall along the east property line of Geneva Court Lots 13-16 from 200 feet to 55 feet and shifted the wall further to the east to reduce impacts to adjoining property owners; (2) replaced the 20-foot retaining wall with two stepped rockeries of 6-Meet and 8-feet in height significantly reducing the visual impact of the retaining walls to the westerly adjoining property owners; (3) increased the number of ' ` Id. 12 See Attachment 2, p. 11. 13 Id.

Despite these changes to the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat and Modified Lot 12, the Hearing Examiner again refused to allow the inclusion of Modified Lot 12 in the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat. Instead of approving Modified Lot 12, the Hearing Examiner explicitly rejected the City's Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation as "inappropriate" and held that the Urban Separator portion of Wilson Park Preliminary Plat should remain as "natural as possible."" The Hearing Examiner's Decisions should be modified to authorize inclusion of Modified Lot 12 in the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat for the following reasons: (1) the Hearing Examiner's Decisions are improper collateral attacks on the Planning Director's Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation; (2) the Hearing Examiner's Decisions are based on an invalid interpretation of the City's Urban Separator regulations; (3) without the Planning Director's Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation, the City's Urban Separator regulations may violate RCW 82.02.020; and (4) the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat complies with the City's Comprehensive Plan policies and code requirements. 15 Attachment 1 at p. 1.

LEGAL ARGUMENT A. The Hearing Examiner's Decisions Constitute an Improper Collateral Attack on the Planning Division's_ Code Interpretation. Washington case law is clear that a land use decision that is not timely appealed may not be collaterally attacked in a later proceeding. " Renton provides a formal comment period and a 14-day appeal period for administrative code interpretations. See RMC 4-8-110. Here, the Planning Director issued the Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation on January 14, 2010." The formal code interpretation and its appeal period were published on the City's website. The appeal period expired on January 28, 2010.`g Thus, any appeals filed after those dates are untimely and prohibited under Washington's Land Use Petition Act ("LUPA"). Moreover, the Washington Supreme Court has previously held that an issuing locality cannot collaterally attack the validity of its own land use decisions outside the LUPA 21-day appeals period. Chelan Countv ►>. Nykreim, 146 Wn.2d 904 (2002). In Nykreim, Chelan County's own planning director erroneously approved a boundary line adjustment (" BLA") that was contrary to law in that it created three lots out of one, 6 See Land Use Petition Act (' t.UPA"), RCW Chapter 36.70C; see also Habitat Watch v. Skagit County, 155 Wn.2d 397, 410-11 (2005) (holding that a challenge to a grading permit was an unacceptable collateral attack on the issuance of an improperly granted special use permit); see also Samuel 's Furniture, Inc. v. Dep 't of Ecology, 147 Wn.2d 440, 54 P.3d 1194 (2002) (Department of Ecology is barred from collaterally attacking the city's allegedly improper determination that the property was outside its shoreline jurisdiction or not subject to Shoreline Management Act jurisdiction through a later enforcement action); Chelan County v..1VOreim, 146 Wn.2d 904, 52 P.3d 1 (2002) (holding that L.UPA's statutory time limits prevent the county from revoking an improperly granted boundary line adjustment), Wenatchee Sportsmen Assn v. Chelan County, 141 Wn.2d 169, 4 P.3d 123 (2000) (holding that a challenge to a development permit was an improper collateral attack on the improper rezone of the area in violation of the Growth Management Act). " See Attachment 3. a No appeals were filed during the applicable appeal period_ APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT - 8 Goh Ad"" O'r'.. 2a25 First Avenue, Suite 500 Seattle, WA 99121-3140 (206) 382 9540 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 I8 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 instead of simply adjusting the boundary lines of existing lots. Id. at 911-12. Fourteen months after approving the BLA, the County discovered the mistake and challenged the decision in superior court. Id. at 914. The Court found that because Chelan County failed to timely appeal an erroneous land use decision made by its own planning director, it could not file an action for declaratory relief challenging the BLA granted to the applicant even though it contravened county code. Id. Finally, both Habitat Watch and Wenatchee Sportsmen Assn v. Chelan County, 141 Wn.2d 169, 4 P.3d 123 (2000) support the argument that the City's code interpretations cannot be collaterally attacked in a different City decision. See Habitat Watch, 155 Wn.2d at 410-411 ("Because appeal of the special use permit and its extensions are time barred under LUPA, Habitat Watch cannot collaterally attack them through its challenge to the grading permit"); Wenatchee Sportsmen, 141 Wn.2d at 173 ("WSA's failure to file a timely LUPA challenge to the rezone bars it from collaterally challenging the validity of the rezone in this action opposing the project application"). The Hearing Examiner's Decisions are essentially an untimely collateral attack on the Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation. The Hearing Examiner cites no authority in his Decisions that permits the rejection of a formally adopted code interpretation. The Hearing Examiner himself admits in his Reconsideration Decision that the "interpretation appears to permit development of [Modified] Lot 12." The Applicant respectfully requests that the City Council correct the Hearing Examiner's LUPA APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT - 9 o1AonDe �, 2025 First Avenue, Suite 500 Seattle, wA 98121.-3140 (206) 382-9540 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 violation, reaffirm the Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation, and modify the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat approval to include Modified Lot 12. B. Even if the Hearin Examiner Could Contest the Talbot Road Urban Se arator Code Interpretation, City Staff s Interpretation is Correct. Consistent with the Planning Director's code interpretation, the Urban Separator Regulations can only reasonably be interpreted to apply to the portion of the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat subject to the overlay. The mere fact that the City Council chose to zone only part of the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat site R-1 evidences that this was the legislature's intent and supports staffs interpretation. R-8 zoning is not an urban separator zone." Had the City Council wanted the entire lot to be subject to the Urban Separator regulations, and, more specifically, RMC 4-3-100(E)(2)(a)'s 50% gross site area requirement, it would have zoned the entire site R-1 instead of zoning the majority of the parcel R-8. Moreover, substantial weight is given to the agency's interpretation of the statutes it administers which are within the agency's specialized expertise. Manke Lumber Co. v. Diehl, 91 Wn.App. 793, 802, (1998). An agency's interpretation will be upheld if it is a plausible construction of the statute or rule. Seatoma Convalescent Or v. Dep 't of Soc. & Health Servs., 82 Wn.App. 495, 518 (1996). Here, the Planning Director's interpretation of RMC 4-3-110 is entitled to deference. In contrast, the Hearing Examiner's interpretation of the City's Urban Separator regulations conflicts with the actual language of RMC 4-3-1 10. In his Decisions, the " Renton Comprehensive Plan, Policy LU-147, p. IX-26. APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT - 10 GofdonDe" ir, 2025 First Avenue, Suite 500 Seattle, WA 98121-3140 t296) 362-9540 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Hearing Examiner concludes that the Urban Separator designated portion of the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat site should remain undeveloped. See Attachment 1; see also Attachment 2, Conclusion #1 . This effectively means that 100% of the property located within the Talbot Road Urban Separator should be dedicated as non -revocable open space tract. A 100% requirement is notably absent from RMC 4-3-110, and is, in fact, directly contradictory to the 50% dedication requirement found in RMC 4-3-1 10(E)(2)(a). A legislative body is presumed not to include unnecessary language when it enacts legislation. See Davis v. State ex rel. Dept of'Licensing, 137 Wn.2d 957, 969 (1999) ("A fundamental canon of construction holds a statute should not be interpreted so as to render one part inoperative."); Judd v. Am. TeL & Tel. Co., 152 Wn.2d 195, 202 (2004) (no portion of a statute shall be rendered meaningless or superfluous through interpretation). A statutory interpretation that conflicts with a statute is given no deference. Nelson v. Appleway Chevrolet, 160 Wn.2d 173, 184 (2007). Here, the interpretation of RMC 4-3- I I O(e)(2)(a) put forward by the Hearing Examiner conflicts with its 50% dedication requirement, or, at best, renders it inoperative. Thus, it must be rejected. C. Without the Limitation in the Planning Director's Code InteEpretation, the Cit 's Urban Separator Regulations May Violate RCW 82.02.020. Washington courts have looked critically at regulations that impose across-the- board open space requirements or clearing Iimitations that are not directly related to the level of development or impacts created by a specific development proposal. See, e.g., Isla Verde Int'l Holdings, Inc. v. City of Camas, 146 Wn.2d 740, 759 (2002) ("Isla Verde") (where Supreme Court rejected an ordinance that imposed a 30% open space requirement APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT - 11 GordonDerr,. 2025 First Avenue, Suite 500 Seattle, WA 99121-3140 (206) 382-954U 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 on all proposed subdivisions); Citizens' Alliance v. Ron Sims, 145 Wn.App. 649 (Div. 1, 2008), cert. denied, 203 P.3d 378 (2009) ("Citizens' Alliance") (where the Court of Appeals held a King County ordinance that limited clearing on rural property to a maximum of 50% violated RCW 82.02.020). Those courts have invalidated such regulations as a violation of RCW 82.02.020, a statutory prohibition on any "tax, fee, or charge, either direct or indirect," on the construction or reconstruction of buildings or on the development, subdivision, classification, or reclassification of land. The Urban Separator open space requirement, particularly if imposed on the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat parcel without the limitation identified in the Planning Director's code interpretation, would run afoul of the legal limitations discussed in Isla Verde and Citizens' Alliance. The Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation, applying the Urban Separator open space requirement on only that portion of the parcel located within the Urban Separator zone, strikes a more appropriate and reasonable limitation on the requirement that reduces the City's vulnerability in imposing this requirement on parcels such as the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat parcel. Appellant has previously, and continues to, express his willingness to comply with the Urban Separator open space requirement, provided it only applies to that portion of the parcel located within the Urban Separator zone, thus allowing the City to include Modified Lot 12 within the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat approval.

The Modifications to Lot 12 Proposed by the Applicant in his Request for Reconsideration Address the Concerns Raised by the Hearing, Examiner in his Original Decision. - As summarized in Section III entitled "FACTS" above, the Applicant in his Reconsideration Request2l sought to address all of the Lot 12 concerns raised in the Hearing Examiner's Original Decision. By modifying the location of Lot 12 and its associated open space area, the Applicant reduced the length of retaining walls required and shifted a wall farther to the east to further reduce impacts to adjoining property owners; reduced visual impacts by replacing a 20-foot retaining wall with two stepped up rockeries 6-feet to 8-feet in height; retained more significant trees; and substantially reduced the amount of grading required within the portion of the site designated Urban Separator.'' Indeed, the Hearing Examiner recognized in his Reconsideration Decision that shifting the location of Modified Lot 12 "does reduce the impact on the properties to the west."' Further, modifications to Lot 12 bring the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat even more into conformance with Community Design Element, Policy CD-121, which encourages developers to adjusting site plans to preserve slopes, trees, and vegetation. While RMC 4-7-130(C)(1)(B) prohibits the creation of a lot that primarily has slopes forty percent (40%) without adequate area at lesser slopes upon which development may occur, this prohibition is inapplicable to Modified Lot 12 — it does not have slopes over 40% and 20 See Attachment 5.

Last, there is no provision within the City's regulations that limit the use of retaining walls. In addition to the issues resolved above, the Hearing Examiner's Original Decision, without any analysis or support, raised the appropriateness of the density proposed in the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat application. The lots in the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat range from 4,500 to 13,006 square feet with an overall density of 7.99 dwelling units per acre. Staff concluded that the 12-lot Wilson Park Preliminary flat complied with the City's underlying zoning designation. See Attachment 4 at pp. 6-7. Moreover, proposed Lots 8 through 11 are wider than required by the City's regulations (60 feet versus 50 feet) in order to meet the intent of RMC 4-7-220(C)(4) and Housing Element Policy H-924, which recommends larger lots in steeper parts of subdivision sites. Thus, there is no evidence in the record that the proposed density of the 12-lot Wilson Park Preliminary Plat violates the City's applicable development regulations. For these reasons, the Hearing Examiner had no basis in the record or the law to eliminate Modified Lot 12 from the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat approval based on compliance with the City's comprehensive plan policies and code requirements including density, lot dimensions, building standards, open space, and setbacks. V. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, Applicant respectfully requests that the City Council modify both the Hearing Examiner's Decisions, affirm the Talbot Road Urban Separator Code Interpretation issued by the staff on January 14, 2010, and approve the Modified Lot 34 Renton Comprehensive Plan.

REFERENCE: Wilson Park Preliminary Plat (LUA09-140, PP, ECF) SUBJECT: Determination regarding dedication of open space requirements for properties within the Talbot Urban Separator. BACKGROUND: The City received an application for a development proposal on a 2.5 acre site in the R-14, R-1, and R-8 Zones. The site includes a portion of the Talbot Urban Separator, which is an overlay intended to create contiguous open space corridors within and between urban communities, which provide environmental, visual, recreational and wildlife benefits. The purpose of the Urban Separator is also to protect resources and environmentally sensitive areas - There are two Urban Separator areas: May Valley and Talbot Road. In the May Valley Urban Separator, entire properties are included in the Urban Separator designation. However, in the Talbot area, only portions of properties are within the Urban Separator, and these are generally portions of the property containing steep slopes- Properties located within the Urban Separator are required per RMC 4-3-110.E.2.a to dedicate 50% of the gross land area of the parcel or parcels as a non - revocable open space tract. In May Valley, since the entire property is designated Urban Separator, the dedication of 50% of the gross site area is appropriate. However, in the Talbot Urban Separator where only a very small portion of the site is designated Urban Separator, it is inequitable to require that 50% of the gross site area be retained. JUSTIFICATION: Urban Separator regulations require dedication of 50% of designated properties gross area as open space. For properties in May Valley, where the entire site is within the Urban Separator, this is appropriate. However, for properties in the Talbot area, where only a portion of the site is designated Urban Separator, the requirement for dedication of H:\CED\Planning\Title lV\Docket\Administrative Policy Code Interpretation\CI-06\Code lnterpretation.doc Page 1 of 2 50% of the area as open space is a hardship. By requiring 50% of the area designated as Urban Separator to be dedicated as open space, there is uniformity and fairness between the Talbot and May Valley areas. DECISION: Properties in the Talbot Urban Separator will be required to dedicate 50% of the gross land area in the Urban Separator as open space, rather than 50% of the gross site area. The area to be dedicated may also include portions of the site abutting the Urban Separator, in order to create a contiguous open space corridor. PLANNING DIRECTOR APPROVAL: C. E. "Chip" Vincent DATE: January 14, 2010 APPEAL PROCESS: To appeal this determination, a written appeal —accompanied by the required filing fee --must be filed with the City's Hearing Examiner (1055 S. Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057) no more than 14 days from the date of this decision. Your submittal should explain the basis for the appeal.

DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS: 1. Project Description/Background The applicant proposes subdividing an existing 2.49 acre parcel (APN 312305-9125) into 12 lots suitable for the eventual development of detached single family homes and 3 tracts for open space. The resulting parcels would range in size from 4,500 to 13,006 square feet. In addition, the applicant is also LUA09-140, ECF, PP Citrof Renton Community and Economic opment Deportment P nary Report to the Hearing Examiner WI"DN PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT LUA09-140, PP, ECF PUBLIC NEARING DATE March 16, 2010 Page 4 of 13 proposing that 4,884 square feet of proposed Lot 12 (which is within the Talbot Urban Separator) be designated as a Native Growth Protection Easement. The site is comprised of three zoning classifications: 27,156 square feet in the Residential -1 dwelling units per acre zone (R-1) ; 79,343 square feet in the Residential — 8 dwelling units per acre (R-8) zone; and, 2,384 square feet in the Residential —14 dwelling units per acre (R-14) zone. In addition, the Talbot Urban Separator Overlay is present and corresponds to the R-1 zoning in the western portion of the site. Overall density of the 12-lot proposal on the site would be 7.99 dwelling units per acre. Primary access to the site would be via a 50-foot wide access easement from South 55th Street. This access easement is approximately 300-feet in length and accesses the westerly portion of the site and is identified as "Road A" on the revised site plan. A secondary emergency access on the easterly side of the property is also proposed via a 30-foot wide access easement and continues to the northerly property line. This access is identified as "Road B" on the Preliminary Plat plan. A stormwater detention vault is proposed off -site and to be located under proposed Road A. The applicant is proposing grading involving 17,000 cubic yards of cut with a pproximately 6,000 cubic yards of it being used as structural fill material with the remainder to be exported. In addition, approximately 500 cubic yards of crushed rock fill would be imported to the project site for road construction. An existing single family residence (3,520 square feet) would be demolished to accommodate the proposed development. Because average slopes are in excess of 20 percent this project is considered a hillside subdivision. 2. Environmental Review Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971 as amended), on Feb 22, 2010, the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non -Significance Mitigated (DNS-M) for the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat. A 14--day appeal period commenced on February 26, 2010 and ended on March 12, 2010. No appeals of the threshold determination were filed as of the writing of this staff report. 3. Compliance with ERC Conditions Based on an analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) issued the following mitigation measure with the Determination of Non -Significance — Mitigated: 1. The applicant shall place a note on the face of the plat which requires a 15-foot building setback line from the top of slopes which are 40% or greater. 2. The applicant will be required to comply with the recommendations contained in the Geotechnica) Engineering Study, prepared by Liu & Associates, Inc. dated February 20, 2009. 3. The applicant shall clearly mark and fence trees outside the construction area and replant exposed ground as soon as possible after construction activities. 4. That the applicant shall provide a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Plan designed pursuant to the 2005 Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements and provide staff with a Construction Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of construction permits.

These comments are contained in the official file, and the essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report and the Departmental Recommendation at the end of the report. 5. Consistency with Preliminary Plat Criteria Approval of a plat is based upon several factors. The following preliminary plat criteria have been established to assist decision -makers in the review of the plat: a) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Designation The site is designated Residential Low Density (RLD), Residential Single Family (RSF), and Residential Medium Density (RMD) on the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The proposal is consistent with all of the following Comprehensive Plan Land Use policies: Policy CD-1. Integrate development into natural areas by clustering development and/or adjusting site plans to preserve wetlands, steep slopes, and notable stands of trees or other vegetation. Natural features should function as site amenities.

R-8 setback requirements are a minimum of 15-feet for the primary LUA09-140, FCF, PP City of Renton Community and Economic . lopment Department P inary Report to the Nearing Examiner WILSON PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT LUA09-140, PP, ECF PUBLIC NEARING DATE March 16, 2010 - Page 8 of 13 structure and 20-feet for attached garages in the front yard, 5-feet side yard and 20-feet rear yard. As proposed, all lots appear to contain adequate area to provide all required setback areas. Compliance with building setback requirements would be reviewed at the time of building permit review. The applicant has indicated that the existing residence on portions of proposed Lots 2, 3, 8, and 9 would be removed. Since the existing house is within the area of several proposed lots and the Road 8, the house will need to be removed prior to recording. Staff recommends as a condition of approval, that the applicant apply for and obtain a demolition permit, remove the existing residence, and complete final inspections of the demolition prior to plat recording. Building Standards:_ The R-1 and R-8 zones permit one residential structure per lot. Each of the proposed lots would support the construction of one detached single family home/ Building height in the R-1 (Lot 12) and R-8 zones (Lots 1 - 11) is limited to 30 feet. The maximum lot coverage in the R-1 Zone (Lot 12) is 35% percent; while the maximum impervious lot coverage in the R-8 Zone is dependent on the lot size. For lots greater than 5,000 square feet (Lots 3 - 11) 35% lot coverage or 2,500 sq. ft. is permitted, whichever is greater; for lots less than 5,000 sq. ft. (tots 1 and 2) 50% lot coverage is permitted. it appears that all of the proposed parcels contain enough area to accommodate single family residential homes that comply with the lot coverage requirements. The building standards for proposed lots would .be verified at the time of building permit review. Proposed Lot 12 contains an open space easement which would be recorded as a part of the Native Growth Protection Easement (NGPE) recommended in this report. d) Community Assets Landscaping: The applicant will be required to provide landscape strips along the internal roads where street trees shall be planted. Proposed Road A within the plat would require an 8-foot landscape strip between the street and the sidewalk along the north side of the street. The off -site portion of Road A will also require an 8-foot planter strip between the street and the sidewalk. Proposed (toad B is required to have a 5-foot planter strip landscaped with street trees. The applicant has submitted a tree inventory and tree retention worksheet which indicates that there are 101 trees on the site. A total of 25 trees must be retained and the applicant is proposing to retain 15 of these trees_ The replacement ratio is six, 2-inch caliper trees per tree removed. The applicant is proposing to provide 60 replacement trees. The majority of these replacement trees are proposed to be planted within the Urban Separator Area (R-1 zoning) which encompasses the eastern portion of proposed Lot 12, and Tracts B, C, and D. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that a Native Growth Protection Easement (NGPE) be recorded over the eastern portion of Lot 12 and Tracts B, C, and D. The edge of the NGPE shall be delineated with a split rail fence and identified with signage as approved by the Planning Division project manager. A fencing and signage detail shall be submitted to the Planning Division project manager for review and approval at the time of construction permit application. The fencing and signage shall be installed prior to recording the final plat_ In order to ensure that the proposed open space area would be provided with vegetation enhancement, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant be required to plant replacement trees as indicated on Exhibit 8. Staff further recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant establish a Homeowners LUA49-140, ECF, PP City of Renton Community and Economic Development Department Preiiminory Report to the Nearing Examiner WILSON PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT LLiA09-140, PP, ECF PUBLIC NEARING DATE March 16, 2010 Page 9 of 13 Association which would be responsible for maintenance of the open space areas within the plat. Open Space: The R-1 zoned portion of the property coincides with the Talbot Road Urban Separator Overlay. RMC 4-3-110 identifies two Urban Separator Overlay areas in the City: the May Valley Urban Separator and the Talbot Road Urban Separator. In the May Valley Urban Separator, entire properties are included in the Urban Separator designation. However, in the Talbot Road Urban Separator only portions of properties are within the Urban Separator. Urban Separators are intended to create contiguous open space corridors within and between urban communities, which provide environmental, visual, recreational and wildlife benefits. The purpose of the Urban Separator is also to protect resources and environmentally sensitive areas. Properties located within Urban Separators are required to dedicate 50 percent of the designated gross area of the property as open space. For properties in May Valley, where entire properties are within the Urban Separator, this is appropriate. However, for properties in the Talbot Road area, where only portions of the sites are within the designated Urban Separator, the requirement for dedicating 50 percent of the area as open space is a hardship. By requiring 50 percent of the area designated as Urban Separator to be dedicated as open space, there is uniformity and fairness between the Talbot Road and May Valley Urban Separator areas. An Administrative Policy/Code Interpretation which became effective on January 14, 2010 states that properties in the Talbot Urban Separator will be required to dedicate 50 percent of the gross land area in the Urban Separator as open space, rather than 50 percent of the gross site area. The area to be dedicated may also include portions of the site abutting the Urban Separator. The area of the project site within the Talbot Road Urban Separator (R-1 zone) is 23,795 sf. Using the Administrative Policy/Code Interpretation cited, above, the applicant would be required to dedicate 11,898 sf of open space. The applicant proposes to provide 12,937 sf of open space (958 sf in Tract B, 4,195 sf in Tract C, 2,900 sf in Tract D, and 4,884 sf in the open space easement as part of proposed Lot 12). ej Compliance with the Subdivision Regulations Streets: Access to the site would require the dedication of a new public street across an abutting property. This street would 26-feet of paving, an 8-foot planter strip and a 5-foot sidewalk. A secondary emergency access across the abutting property to the southeast is required. This emergency access would be gated and is required to have 20-feet of paving. Residential Blocks: RMC 4-7-160A states that blocks shall be wide enough to accommodate two tiers of lots, except where the location and extent of environmental constraints prevent a standard plat land configurations including size and shape of the parcel. In addition, prior the approval of a single tier of lots, the applicant must demonstrate that a different layout or provision of an alley system is not feasible. The site contains environmental constraints including limited access, steep slopes, and narrow underlying lot width which preclude a double tier of lots or an alley configuration. Furthermore, the applicant initially proposed a different lot layout, with more parcels, and redesigned the plat to conform to the multiple underlying zone classifications and the Urban Separator Overlay. Staff supports the current lot layout. The parcels are ,uniform in size and shape. Lots: The proposed lots are generally rectangular in shape and conform to Code requirements in terms of minimum size and width_ Proposed Lots 3 and 8 would be corner lots and frontage has been determined to be on proposed Road A.

D Reasonableness of Proposed Boundaries: Access: Each of the proposed lots and tracts would have access to a public street. The applicant has proposed to extend a new 42-foot wide public street from South 55`h Street. This street would have 26-feet of paving, an 8-foot planter strip, a five-foot sidewalk, curb and gutter along the westerly side of the street. This street would require off -site dedication. Within the plat, Road A would be a 42-foot wide right-of-way consisting of 26 feet of paving, with and 8-foot wide landscape strip and 5-foot wide sidewalk fronting proposed Lots 8 —12. The sidewalk and planting strip would be located on only on the north side of the street fronting Road A. Improvements proposed on proposed Road B fronting Lots 4 — 7 consist of a 5-foot wide sidewalk and a 5-foot wide sidewalk and a 5-foot wide planting strip along the east side of proposed Lot 8. improvements for proposed Road B would end at the northern property line. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant place a sign at the northern terminus of proposed Road B that alerts future property owners that this road may be extended to the north should future development warrant such an extension. Emergency secondary access would be provided via an emergency vehicle access extending from the southeast terminus of Road 'B' (near Lots 3 and 4) to South 55'h Street. This emergency access would require 20-feet of pavement. Property owners to the west have expressed concern about the installation of new roads to the proposed project. They are concerned about appropriate setbacks, easements and fences along property lines. Additionally, these property owners are concerned about safety on these roads in inclement weather. The surrounding property owners also suggest a concrete barrier wall for cars travelling southbound (downhill) on proposed Road A. The applicant must address all appropriate City of Renton road safety issues at the time of construction. The property owners to the west are also concerned about traffic on S 551h Street which is serpentine and slopes downward from east to west in the vicinity of the proposed project. While it is acknowledged that vehicle accidents have occurred in this area on S 55th Street, the Traffic Study submitted with the application materials indicates that sight distances at the proposed access point for the proposed project are adequate. This has been verified by City staff. Topography: The site contains areas of protected slopes (greater than 40 percent) in the southwestern portion of the property. The Environmental Review Committee imposed a mitigation measure which requires the applicant to place a note on the face of the plat that requires a 15-foot building setback line from the top of slopes which are 40 percent or greater. The applicant has indicated proposed retaining walls along the westerly side of proposed Lot 12 (within the P-14 portion of the property) and through proposed Lots S, 6, and 7. These walls range in height from 12 to 20-feet in height. The retaining wall on the easterly side of the property would be poured concrete or soil nail composition. The retaining wall on the westerly side of the property would be poured concrete or reinforced earth. Because the height of these proposed walls may cause visual impacts to adjoining property owners to the west and northeast, the Environmental Review Committee imposed a mitigation measure to require a combination of texturing and tinting on all visible surfaces LUA09-140, ECF, PP City of Renton Community and Economic Development Department Preliminary Report to the Nearing Examiner WILSON PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT LUA09-140, PP, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE March 16, 2010 Page 11 of 13 of the proposed retaining walls. Because proposed retaining walls would be in close proximity to property lines, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant obtain any necessary construction and maintenance easements for the retaining walls and the stormwater vault. Property owners to the west of the project site have expressed concern about appropriate engineering of the proposed project so that the properties below the site are not compromised by increased danger of landslides or run-off. The Geotechnical Engineering Study prepared by Liu & Associates, Inc., dated February 20, 2009 and the Technical Information Report prepared by Baima & Holmberg, Inc., dated May 5, 2009 address these issues and present recommendations to avoid such consequences. Relationship to Existing _Uses: Single-family residences abut the project site to the west and south with vacant land to the north and east. The detached single-family residences would be compatible with the surrounding development. g) Availability and Impact on Public Services (Timeliness) Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicated that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the proposed development. Due to limited access staff recommends, as a condition of approval, any future residence constructed within the plat shall be sprinkled unless the requirement is removed by the City of Renton Fire Marshal or his/her designee. A note shall be recorded on the face of the short plat to this effect. The proposal would add new residential units to the City that would potentially impact the City's Police and Fire Emergency Services. Staff recommended through SEPA Environmental Review as a condition of approval to mitigate for these impacts that requires the applicant to pay a Fire Mitigation Fee, based on $498.00 per new single-family residence payable prior to recoding of the final plat. The fire mitigation fee is estimated to be $5,386 (11 new units x $488.00 = $5,386.00) Schools: The project site is served by schools in the Renton School District. It is anticipated that the Renton School District can accommodate any additional students generated by this proposal at the following schools: Benson Hill Elementary, Nelsen Middle School and Lindbergh High School. School impact fees are regulated under RMC 4-1-160 and are in effect at the time of permit application or final plat approval. Currently, the Renton School District required fee is $6,310.00 per each new single-family residence; however, school mitigation and impact fees are updated annually and are subject to change. Surface Water: The applicant submitted a Technical Information Report for Wilson Park, prepared by Baima & Holmberg, Inc. dated May 5, 2009. That report includes an analysis of upstream tributary drainage which states that the parcel to the east drains onto the site. The Level I Downstream Drainage Analysis in the report states that runoff from the site flows west into lots in the adjacent Geneva Court development. The majorities of these flows collect in a drain constructed along the back yards of the western -most lots of the Geneva Court development and then flow into the storm system in South 53rd Place. This flow collects in a stormwater pond/bioswale facility located at the intersection of Talbot Road S and South 53`d Place approximately 750-feet downstream from the site. This facility outfalls through an 18-inch pipe to the west side of Talbot Road S into a poorly defined channel flowing into the woods. The flows then pass through a 12-inch culvert under a walking path and continue to flow west to a wooded wetland area more than a quarter LUA09-240, ECF, PP City of Renton Community and Economic opment Deportment Pr )cry Report to the Nearing Examiner WiLSON PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT LUA09-140 PP, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE March 16, 2010 Page 12 of 13 mile downstream from the site. Flows into the ditch along S 551" Street continue west in a rock lined channel along the north side of the street to the intersection of Talbot Road S and S 55`h Street. The channel is eroded and shows signs of flowing into the street. Flows from the ditch along Talbot Road S collect in the storm system about 850-feet downstream from the site eventually flowing into Springbrook Creek at about 1,800-feet downstream from the site. Springbrook Creek continues flowing west to about one-half mike downstream of the site where it enters a box culvert crossing SR 167. The Technical Information Report indicates that there are no apparent drainage problems. The plans submitted by the applicant indicate that a proposed storm water detention vault would be located off -site in the easterly proposed access road to control downstream stormwater impacts. The Environmental Review Committee imposed a mitigation measure that requires the final drainage report shall be subject to the 2009 Icing County Surface Water Design Manual. Property owners to the west have expressed concern about changes in drainage due to impervious surfaces created by the proposed project. The applicant proposes to install a stormwater vault within the off -site portion of proposed Road A. Additionally, the applicant would be required to use the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual in the final drainage report. Water: The applicant proposes to serve the subject subdivision with a public water supply and distribution system managed by the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District. A Certificate of Water Availability, dated November 7, 2008, has been issued by the Soos Creek Water & Sewer District. The applicant will show, during engineering review, the location and distance of all existing fire hydrants within 300 feet of the site. Existing and new hydrants will be required to be retrofitted with Storz "quick disconnect" fittings, if not already in place. Furthermore, the Fire Department requires that all new houses be sprinklered. Sewer: The site is within the City of Renton sewer service area. A minimum 8-inch diameter sanitary sewer extension is required to serve the site. Streets: The streets within the proposed project would be dedicated public streets and would become part of the City's street system. Improvements required on these streets are described ion the Access section, above. As indicated in that section, the neighboring property owners are concerned about how street safety issues would affect them. The Traffic Study prepared by Traffex, dated June 23, 2009 cites accident history in the project vicinity on South 551h Street between 98th Avenue S and 99t11 Place S. A total of four accidents occurred between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2008. Two of the accidents were injury accidents with one of them being fatal. None of the accidents occurred at the curve on South 55th Street where the site access is proposed. The Traffic Study indicates that sight distances are adequate for the curves in the vicinity of the proposed project. The adequacy of sight distances has been verified by City staff and has been found to be appropriate for the proposed plat LUAC9-140, FCF, PP city of Renton Community and Economic Development Department Preliminary Report to the Nearing Examiner WILSONPARK PRELIMINARYPLAT LUA09-140, PP, ECF PUBLIC NEARING DATE March 16, 20I0 Page 13 of 13 G.

REFERENCE: Wilson Park Preliminary Plat (LUA09-140, PP, ECF) SUBJECT: Determination regarding dedication of open space requirements for properties within the Talbot Urban Separator. BACKGROUND, The City received an application for a development proposal on a 2.5 acre site in the R-14, R-1, and R-S Zones. The site includes a portion of the Talbot Urban Separator, which is an overlay intended to create contiguous open space corridors within and between urban communities, which provide environmental, visual, recreational and wildlife benefits. The purpose of the Urban Separator is also to protect resources and environmentally sensitive areas. There are two Urban Separator areas: May Valley and Talbot Road. In the May Valley Urban Separator, entire properties are included in the Urban Separator designation. However, in the Talbot area, only portions of properties are within the Urban Separator, and these are generally portions of the property containing steep slopes. Properties located within the Urban Separator are required per RMC 4-3-110.E2.a to dedicate 50% of the gross land area of the parcel or parcels as a non - revocable open space tract. In May Valley, since the entire property is designated Urban Separator, the dedication of 50% of the gross site area is appropriate. However, in the Talbot Urban Separator where only a very small portion of the site is designated Urban Separator, it is inequitable to require that 50% of the gross site area be retained. JUSTIFICATION: Urban Separator regulations require dedication of 50% of designated properties gross area as open space. For properties in May Valley, where the entire site is within the Urban Separator, this is appropriate. However, for properties in the Talbot area, where only a portion of the site is designated Urban Separator, the requirement for dedication of H:\CED\Planning\Title IV\Docket\Administrative Policy Code Interpretation\CI-06\Code Interpretation.doc Page 1 of 2 50% of the area as open space is a hardship. By requiring 50% of the area designated as Urban Separator to be dedicated as open space, there is uniformity and fairness between the Talbot and May Valley areas. DECISION: Properties in the Talbot Urban Separator will be required to dedicate 50% of the gross land area in the Urban Separator as open space, rather than 50% of the gross site area. The area to be dedicated may also include portions of the site abutting the Urban Separator, in order to create a contiguous open space corridor. PLANNING DIRECTOR APPROVAL: C. E. "Chip" Vincent DATE: January 14, 2010 APPEAL PROCESS: To appeal this determination, a written appeal --accompanied by the required filing fee --must be filed with the City's Hearing Examiner (1055 S. Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057) no more than 14 days from the date of this decision. Your submittal should explain the basis for the appeal. Section 4-8-110 of the Renton Municipal Code provides further information on the appeal process. CODE AMENDMENTS NEEDED TO IMPLEMENT DETERMINATIONS: RMC 4-3-110.E.2 should be amended to read as shown on Attachment A. CI-05 Page 2 of 2 Attachment A RMC 4-3-110.E. 2. Dedication of Open Space Required. a. Approval of a plat, and/or building permit on an undeveloped legal lot in the May Valle Urban Separator Overlay shall require dedication of fifty percent (50%) of the gross land area of the parcel or parcels as a non -revocable open space tract retained by property owner, or dedicated to a homeowners association or other suitable organization as determined by the reviewing official. Approval of a 1plat, and/or building permit on an undeveloped le al lot in the Talbot Urban Separator Overlay shall require dedication of fifly percent 50% of the gross land area of that portion of the parcel or parcels located within the Urban Separator as a non - revocable open sace tract retained by the property owner, or dedicated to a homeowners association or other suitable organization as determined by the reviewinq official. In order to satis the dedication requirement, some of the area to be dedicated may consist of land abutting the Urban Separator, as determined b the Planning Director, on a case -by -case basis. Acreage in tracts may include critical areas and/or critical area buffers._ At a minimum, open space shall be connected to another contiguous open space parcel by a fifty foot (50') corridor. b. Existing residences, existing accessory uses and structures, existing above ground utilities located in the tract at the time of designation and new small and medium utilities shall not count toward the fifty percent (50%) gross land area calculation for open space except for storm water ponds designed with less than 3:1 engineered slopes and enhanced per techniques and landscape requirements set forth in the publication the "Integrated Pond" King County Land and Water Resources Division. c. Approval of a building permit for an addition of three hundred (300) square feet for a primary use structure or five hundred (500) square feet for an accessory structure shall require recordation of a conservation easement, protective easement or tract and deed restriction on critical areas and critical area buffers located within the contiguous open space corridor pursuant to RMC 4-3-050E4, Native Growth Protection Areas. d. Land dedicated as open space shall be located within the mapped contiguous open space corridor unless a modification is approved pursuant to subsection E6 of this Section. LDenisaw — F City of EXHIBIT 11 fni �, Department of Communityand Economic Development November 1Q, 2009 Alex Pietsch, Administrator Tom Redding Bairna & Holmberg, Inc. 100 Front Street South Issaquah, WA 98027-3817 Subject: Wilson Park PreliminaryPlat— I_UA09-140 720 South 55a' Street Street Modification requests Dear Mr. Redding.: We have completed our review of your request for modifications to the street standards for the proposed Wilson Park Preliminary Plat located at 720 South 55`'' Street. The proposed residential subdivision is for 13 single family building lots and four additional tracts. Tile subdivision will be served by two access roadways south of the site to South 55a' Street, connecting to a rrew street through the - proposed project. You have requested modification for the internal roadway, including eliminating the required sidewalk from one side of the street,'reducing the right-of-way width, and eliminating the requirement far a cul- de-sac. Clarification of the street improvement requirements for the two off -site access roadways is also. requested. The proposal continues to be based on a waiver of the required connection to the north property line. The request to reduce the internal street right-of-way width to 37.5 feet is denied. However, the request to delete the sidewalk from one side of the internal street is approved', subject to providing an eight -foot (8') planting strip between the street and remaining sidewalk. The requirement fora cul-de- sac is modified to allow for a hammerhead turnaround and gated emergency access for secondary access. The proposal to waive the requirement to extend the public street to the north property line is also denied. tity Cade 4-6-060 (Street Standards) requires full street improvements for all adjacent rights -of -way for, within, and dedicated by a plat. The City can modify street improvements for new plats if there are practical difficulties in carrying out the provisions of the Street Improvement ordinance. The Modification Procedures, as defined in Section 4-9-250D, clearly states the criteria for approval by the Department Administrator. In order for -a modification to be approved, the Department Administrator must find that a special individual reason make's the strict letter of this'Ordinance impractical, that the modification is in conformity with the intent and purpose of this Ordinance; and that such modification: (a) Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by this ordinance, based upon sound engineering judgment; and (b) Will not be injurious to other property(s) in the vicinity; and Renton City Ha[I 9 i o55 South Grady Way • Renton, Washington 98057. • rentonwa.gov Mr. Torre Redd"ng Wilson Park Preliminary Plat Page 2of3 , (c) Conform to the intent and purpose of the Code; and (d) Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended, and (e) Will not create adverse impacts to other properties in the vicinity. The request to reduce the right-of-way width to 37.5 feet cannot be approved. The code allows for consideration of reduction to 42 feet in width in cases where the additional area provides for a more reasonable lot configuration. The reduction to 42 feet in width is approved, but we fail to find justification'to reduce the public right-of-way in this new residential neighborhood to a lesser standard. The request to eliminate the sidewalk along'the southerly side of the new internal roadway can be supported in this situation, provided there are equivalent value amenities provided in exchange for these improvements. This request is granted, subject to the provision of an eight- foot (8') wide planting strip, including landscaping and street trees, on the northerly side of the street with the new sidewalk. The project site will be accessed by a single public street, which requires a cul-de-sac. The proposed secondary access will mitigate the dead-end roadway configuration for emergency vehicles, but will not be available for regular vehicles and delivery trucks. The requirement for a cul-de-sac is hereby waived, subject to providing a full hammerhead turnaround in public right-of-way and emergency secondary access through an approved gated system. The function of a hammerhead turnaround will be provided with the extension of the street to the north property line, as addressed below. The proposed street design for the plat fails to meet the requirement to extend the public street system through the plat to the northerly property line. The property north of the site is large enough for future platting, and will be connected to the public street system approved for this plat. The requirement far extension of the public street system through the proposed plat to the north property line remains. This extension is to be provided'where Lot 8 is proposed, as an extension of the easterly north -south access roadway. The street improvements required for this preliminary plat, as modified in this decision, are as follows: Westerly off -site access roadway between S. 55t� St and the development site: This street section shall be in dedicated public right-of-way. The pavement width can be reduced to 26 feet (26') in width, allowing for parking on one side of the street. Curb and gutter shall be provided along the westerly edge of the pavement_ An eight -foot (8') wide planting strip shall be provided along the west side of the street, with a five-foot (5') wide sidewalk. New internal street syste.m: This street section shall be in a minimum 42-foot width right-of-way. Additional right-of-way is also required at ail the intersections and turns in the roadway configuration. These radius dedications shall be for a 15-foot radius. The pavement width can be reduced to 26 feet in width, allowing for parking on one side of the street. Both sides of the street shall be improved with curb and gutter. A sidewalk is not required on the southerly side of the new street. The -face of the curb shall be installed three feet (3') from the southerly edge of the right-of-way. A five-foot (5') wide sidewalk shall be provided along the northerly and "outside" portion of the new internal street, with an Mr. Tom Redding Wilson Park Preliminary Plat Page 3 of 3 eight -foot (8') planting strip. The planting strip is to be landscaped, including street trees. Street lighting meeting code with required lighting levels shall be provided on the new internal street system. Street extension to nbrth property line: A public street is required -in the approximate location -of proposed Lot B. This street shall include a minimum of 42 feet in right-of-way. The street improvements for this extension shall include 25 feet of pavement, and curb and gutter along both sides of the street. Sidewalk's are required along both sides of this street section, both five feet (5') in width. The sidewalk on the east side of the street can be constructed adjacent to the new curb. The west side of the street shall include a five-foot (5') planting strip landscaped with street trees. Easterly off -site access roadway between S. 55t' St and the development site: This street Section is initially to be used for secondary emergency. access through a private roadway easement. The pavement shall be a minimum of 20 feet in width through this roadway section. An emergency access gate, approved by the Renton Eire Department, can be installed where this roadway enters the new plat. If this private easement is replaced in the future with dedicated public right-of-way, the emergency access gate shall be removed. A note to this effect is to be included on the final plat. You have x4 days from the date.of this letter to appeal the administrative determination in accordance with City code. Appeals are to be filed in writing; with the City Clerk, and require a filing fee in the amount of $250.00. Appeals must be filed with the City Clerk before Tuesday, November 24, 2009, at 5:00 P.M. You may contact Kayren Kittrick at (425) 430-7299 if you have any questions or need additional information.

Proposed Lot 12; from the plat. The original plat would have required substantial regrading and very tall retaining walls along the western boundary of the plat where Proposed.Lot 12 would.have been established: That plat - would. haVerequired significantly. altering the terrain of an area designated as an "Urban . Separator under the Zoning Code. The new proposal would relocate Proposed. Lot 12 to the east and stairstep up the Urban Separator parcel'sterrain using two 6 foot to 8 foot;rockeries. As noted in the original iecommendation ari Administrative Interpretation regarding the Urban Separator scope.narrorwed the Code's overlay from 50%a ofthe-entire parcel to 50% of a portion of the parcel. That interpretation appears to permit .development of Proposed Lot 12.. . This office has reviewed the' original plat, the proposed modifications as well as the urban separator, regulations and staffs'- administrative. interpretation. The public use and interest is :not served by sacrificing the urban separator's purpose. The administrative interpretation, in this case, overrules a node provisionresulting in a sacrificc of the urban separator's purpose. This office understan `ds what s , taffwas trying to accomplish -in its interpretation of the. language governing urban separators. in this area of -the City.: Butthe. intent in liberalizing the urban separator limitations" as. they applied to this, property viwas not to neutralize those,regulations. As implemented by. the applicant, the purposes of the urban separator succumb to the goal.of creating an extra lot, Proposed Lot "-12, on v6 - .topographically constrained property.. The extra lot requires substantial modification of an area"thaf should remain as natural as possible. The attempt to shoehorn in an additional lot by sacrificing the native state of the topography with engineered rockeries and terraces remains :inappropriate. So, .while the proposal -to shift. Proposed Lot:12 to the east does reduce the impact on the properties to the `nest, it is still inappropriate.. The urban separator provisions should .be observed and the applicant .should maintain.the natural aspects 4 the northwestern corner ofthis site. In addition, protecting the natural slope saves more of the significant trees.

Grady Way Renton, WA 98057 RE: Wilson Park L UA-09149, PP, ECF Dear Mr. Kaufman: RECEIVH) G-_EEii'S OFFI,' E Pursuant to Title IV, Chapter 8, Section 100G of Renton's Municipal code, please consider this letter a request for reconsideration of the April 0, 2010 recommendation to the City Council for approval of the Wilson Park subdivision. The reason for the reconsideration request is that information regarding Lot 12 is available that was not available at the Hearing. At the Hearing, the possibility of flipping Lot 12 and making the open space easement on the west side was raised, however, plans were not available at the Hearing that would show the ramifications of the change. The conceptual grading, drainage, utility and tree plans have now been revised to reflect the change to Lot 12 and are hereby submitted with this letter in support of the reconsideration request. As it turns out, the revision to lot 12 has the following advantages: The wall along the east property line of Lots 13 through 16, Geneva Court is substantially reduced. Instead of a 200 ft long wall along the property lines, we now have approximately 55 ft of wall. Two stepped rockeries 6' to 8' in height would follow the alignment of the new roadway across the westerly portion of Lot 12. The rockeries would then turn north to allow a 10 ft wide ramp access the open space easement on the westerly portion of Lot 12. This allows the retention of most of the significant trees in the open space easement on Lot 12 and substantially reduces the visual impact of a wall to the Geneva Court neighbors. Western Washington Division 165 NE Juniper St., Ste 201, Issaquah, WA 98027 Phone: (425) 392-0250 Fax: (425) 391-3055 Eastern Washington Division 108 East 2nd Street, Cie Elum, WA 98922 Phone: (509) 674-7433 Fax: (509) 674-7419 www_F,ncompassES.net Fred Kaufman Hearing Examiner City of Revlon Page two • With the proposed revision, the number of significant trees that will be retained on site is 24, which is only one less than the 25 trees required to be retained. This is a significant increase from the initial proposal of 15 retained trees and will only require the planting of 6 two-inch replacement trees. The grading on Lot 12 will be substantially reduced as well, leaving most of the proposed open space easement undisturbed native vegetation. Although the primary reason for non approval of Lot 12 appears to be the impact of the 20 ft wall on the neighbors, it appears that a secondary issue is density. While elimination of Lot 12 would reduce the density somewhat, it would not provide that much of an environmental benefit to the site. Lots 8 through 11 are wider than required by zoning (60 ft vs. 50 ft) as it was the applicants intent to build nicer (wider) homes on the property than what is the norm by today's standards. By providing wider lots than required by the zoning code, the intent of Section 4-7-220 c.4, Renton's Hillside Subdivision code recommending larger lots in steeper parts of the site is met. The requirement to stub a road to the north in it's present location is one that staff considered at length, so with the road location established, and lots S through 11 wider than normal, the elimination of Lot 12 would have little beneficial impact to the site. The proposed revision of the open space easement location to the west side of Lot 12 accomplishes the same goal and retains the lot. Thank you for your consideration of this request. Revised plans showing the proposed revision are enclosed for your use and have also been sent to staff. Very truly yours, BAIMA & HOLMBERG, INC.

The proposed project is a 2.5 acre site, the nearest access street is South 55 h Street. The access street is very steep and has several serpentines with a speed limit of 25 MPH. This site has been constrained by trying to get access to it due to the steep slopes. There also have been some difficulties due to City Code because of the Urban Separator Overlay and all the various zoning designations. The final plat has gone through several revisions to meet all requirements, this presentation today has 12 lots suitable for the development of single-family residential homes. There are three open space tracts, Tracts B, C, and D. There is no Tract A. Tract B is greater than a 40% slope and as such is a protected area that cannot be touched. Tracts C and D are open space areas and are split by the zoning designation. R-1 zone is on the west side and R-8 zone is on the east. All open spaces are considered reserved areas and would be planted with trees by the applicant. Wilson Park Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-09-I40, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 3 Part of Lot 12, to the north is within the R-1 zone, a portion of this lot would have an easement overlaying it to be considered open space that satisfies the Urban Separator requirements. It is not a separate Tract, but an area that will have an easement over the top. The remainder of the lots in the plat are between 4,500 and 6,270 square feet. There is a lot of topography on the lots and in order to develop the lots there would need to be some retaining walls constructed. The walls would vary in size from 12-20 feet in height. One retaining wall would be located on the eastern border of Lot 7 and the other would be located on the western border of Lot 12. The retaining wall on the east side would be either poured concrete or soil nail composition; the wall on the west side would be poured concrete or stabilized soil. The walls abutting the property both to the north and the west will have some impact to the property owners at least during construction and perhaps during maintenance. The applicant has been required to secure both construction and maintenance easements. The plan is to terrace those walls and landscape them, it has been requested by Staff that those walls be maintained by the Homeowner's Association. The applicant would like to see the individual homeowners maintain the walls in their particular lot. The Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non -Significance --- Mitigated with eleven mitigation measures. No appeals were filed, The project is compliant with both Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Plan policies. The density of the proposed plat is 7.99 dwelling units per acre. All lots comply with the minimum width and depth. The plat would be accessed via a new street that would extend from S 55`h Street. It would be a 50-foot right-of- way and enters into the plat, makes a curve and becomes S 53'd Place. It eventually ends in a "T" that will eventually extend to the north and south property lines with a gated emergency access at the south property line. All on -site roads will be dedicated rights -of -way. Because of the restraint in this plat, it would be required to have sidewalks and planting strips on one side of the roadway. The sidewalk and planting strip would be located along the west side of the street coming into the plat. There also would be a sidewalk and an 8-foot wide planting strip on the north side of South 53rd Place. The planting strip would be 5 feet wide along the north/south interior road. A tree inventory plan has been submitted, currently there are 101 trees on site, of those 25 must be retained. The applicant has stated that they can only retain 15 trees. The applicant has proposed 60 trees to be planted primarily in the open space areas (Tracts C and D as well as the open space area that is part of Lot 12). Staff has asked for a split rail fence to define these areas. A goal of the Urban Separator is to create corridors of open space for wildlife to roam through. There are only two areas of the City where the Urban Separator applies, the Talbot Hill Area and May Creek. In Talbot, the Urban Separator slices through the hill and takes just portions of the property and this is why Lot 12 has been designed with the open space that will be surrounded with a split rail fence. Police and Fire have indicated that there are sufficient resources to serve this area. The project is located in the Renton School District and they do have sufficient room for the projected new students. This project would be subject to School Impact Fees. Wilson Park Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 4 There have been some letters sent to the City of Renton concerning the safety on S 55`� Street and the new driveways that would be taking access onto that street. A safety evaluation was done and it was determined that the roadway was safe based on a higher speed than what is currently allowed on S 55 h Street. A drainage report was completed and showed that the parcel to the cast drains onto this site and runoff from this site flows to the west into Geneva Court, this flow collects in a drain and flows into the storm system located in the road inside Geneva Court and finally flows into Springbrook Creek. The drainage vault for this project would be located under the roadway with an easement for maintenance. The opening to the vault would not be located in the roadway, but placed into the landscaping or sidewalk areas adjacent to the vault. There has been vandalism where the grates have been removed which creates a grave traffic safety issue. Water service would be provided by Soos Creek, the Certificate of Water Availability has been issued for this site. Sewer service would be provided by the City of Renton with a minimum 8-inch diameter extension required. The public streets would become part of the City System with the exception of the emergency access road. It was requested that a 9`" Condition be added indicating that the grate covering the drainage vault be located in the sidewalk or the landscaping. A 15 Minute Recess was taken. The Hearing Resumed at 10:31 am. Shupe Holmberg, 165 NE Juniper Street, Issaquah 98027 stated that if the proposed plat is approved subject to the recommended Staff conditions they believe that the public's interest in safety and welfare would be met. Condition #5 calls for the Homeowner's Association to maintain the retaining walls. It would appear to the applicant that the individual homeowners should maintain those walls within their own respective lots. That would involve Lot 7 and 12. The Drainage and Grading plan that was shown today is not the latest version. The north wall would still be a 5- foot high retaining wall. On the east portions of Lots 4-7 there would be two staged rockeries that would be 2 to 6 feet in height with the highest part being at the north end. The retaining wall on the west side is the same on both plans. The retaining wall on Lot 12 would be approximately 20-feet tall. There would be a fence on top of the 20-foot wall. Since the 20-foot wall does cover several parcels, it might be best if the Homeowner's Association would maintain that particular wall. In the drainage report it does state that the runoff from the site currently runs through Geneva Court. The proposal for this site is to pick up the drainage, pipe it to the detention vault within the off -site roadway and discharge that to the roadside ditch on S 55t` Street. Any drainage impacts to Geneva Court would be lessened, no drainage from this site would go to Geneva Court. The 2009 King County Stormwater Manual would apply to installation and operation of the vault. Each individual lot will have a connection and drainage would be piped directly to the conveyance system. Wilson Park Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 5 The emergency access to the site would be paved. Some cut and grading will take place along the road and adjacent lots. Vincent Gegiia, 11410 NE 124`h St., Ste. 590, Kirkland 98034 stated he had an aerial photo of the site and surrounding areas. The new public road off of S 55'' Street to the site was pointed out showing that the new interior road, S 53d would hit just on the outside corner of the curve giving the optimum sight distance looking in both directions on S 55'h. The site distance does meet the City of Renton requirements. Paul Witt, 617 S 53fd Pl, Renton 98059 stated that he lives in Geneva Court, Lot 13. He is not opposed to this project, but does want to make sure that any project in the area is done correctly and safely. This is a challenging project, from his front porch up to the far side of this new site, it is over l I0-feet in difference. His concern is to make sure that the retaining walls along the west side are done correctly, he still feels a little vague about exactly what materials are being used to create these retaining walls. He was further concerned about the terminus and vagueness of how far the wall at his corner lot would continue. Going into his back yard and looking up, there would just be a 20-foot wall going straight up, how is that going to look. At that location, the road would be above grade. That roadway could be prone to accidents especially in the snow and ice. He would prefer to see the maintenance kept with the Homeowner's Association, it sounds great on paper, however, in reality it most likely will not get done. It seems strange to have a Homeowner's Association responsible for something built on City property. The vault that they are responsible for is not on any property they have vested interest in, it is on a City right-of-way on a dedicated street. It would stand to reason that the engineering would be strong enough to hold large vehicles. Steven Beck, 4735 NE 4`h Street, Renton 98059 stated that he is the manager of Amber -wood LLC and consultant for Wilson Park Preliminary Plat before the Hearing Examiner today. Lots 4, 5, 6, and 7 to the east will have a rockery on their site. He was involved with the Cherie Lane plat several years ago and recently brought plans to a meeting showing how rockeries and vegetation was handled in the Cherie Land. It was not pretty. They did not want that on this site, so everywhere they can, even on the west side to try to step up and do rockeries and vegetation, it looks much better and is better for the environment. On Lots 4, 5, 6, and 7 where there is approximately a 120-foot depth, the plans include a garage under a two story basement with decks off the main Moor. These plans were used in Cherie Lane and worked very well. With that house plan, the back yards can be tiered up with 4-6 foot rockeries at a time and use vegetation on them. Lot 12, they have discussed how to do that, possibly sloping the hill up slowly to the building pad. If a wall is used, it would have to be textured or soil nail used, but the end product would have to look good. Kayren Kittrick, Community and Economic Development stated that Geneva Court has a north connection, a small bit of right-of-way that was reserved for future use. Rockeries four feet and over must be structurally engineered. They require a separate building permit and a separate inspection, there is a special inspection required with a structural engineer on site at the time of the inspection. Wilson Park Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 6 The Examiner stated that the road is pretty much at the south end of the retaining wall leaving no room to create terraced or sloped retaining walls. Ms. Kittrick stated that her concern is that could be a focal point for erosion, she will instruct her staff to pay particular attention to that area. If the wall stops right there, something will have to be placed there to protect the area. The wall and transition would be required to meet building standards. S 55th ideally would be required to have sidewalk, curb and gutter. The problem is that is a third party property and therefore if there were to be any improvements through there it should be associated with designs to accommodate what may be developed on that property. There have been inquiries on that property and it will happen at some time. It is also possible that S 55 should be something that the City is looking at as a general overall plan as opposed to putting it on each individual property. They are not prepared to do that today, but it is on their agenda. Road A will either be called Smithers or Morris, it has not been determined as yet. The preference at this point is to call it Smithers. The nortWsouth connection from S 53`d to S 55`h will be subject to traffic and building requirements. The sidewalk is situated next to the slope and will require a pedestrian level barrier or guard rail of some type. There is a possibility that the school bus may pick up children on S 55`h that has not been established as yet. The drainage with the walls must meet the 2009 Manual requirements. The vault would be located in the dedicated right-of-way and the grate would be placed outside the traffic right-of-way. The sewer line would run down S 551h Street. Because of the protected area on Lot 12, they can only clear 35%. It seems it may be complicated to build the wall, do the grading and remain at less than 35%. They will also need the permission of Mr. Witt and any other neighbors prior to building this retaining wall. Her opinion is that the maintenance of that particular retaining wall should be spread over the whole group in a Homeowner's Association. That particular wall on Lot 12 is in essence holding the entire plat in place. It might have to be in an easement where all the property owners have an undivided interest, which may be stronger than putting it on the Homeowner's Association. There could be a possibility of flipping Lot 12 and making the open area next to the retaining wall rather than the house. Mr. Holmberg stated that he had a Geotech engineer present, but did not have a structural engineer in the room today. The Examiner asked if this wall could be built without disturbing the properties to the west. Permission would be needed to shore it up as it is being built or the piles being driven from the top for the soldier walls and then doing what was necessary. Mr. Holmberg stated that technically they could build the wall on Lot 12 with no off -site easements. It would be a fill behind the wall. It will have impacts on the four lots in Geneva Court because it is going to be a large wall in their backyard. They did look at putting the building area on the west side of Lot 12, there was less of a building envelope doing it that way, but they could revisit that possibility. It could also be a condition that they work with the homeowners of Geneva Court to try to address some of the visual impacts of that wall. Wilson Park Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 7 They are proposing larger lots in this development because of the retaining walls and rockeries that are necessary because of the steep slopes. Lot 12 is a difficult lot. Main Kadri, 19213 Kenlake Place NE, Kenmore 98028 stated the soil investigation that was done found the soil in that area to be a glacial till and generally has a fairly high sheer strength. If the foundations are built on that native material that can withstand the bearing capacities and even a retaining wall. The report has options for three different types of retaining structures, in this type of environment, taking care of drainage is very important. The Examiner stated that he had some concerns with the retaining wall, its length and height and its affect on the properties to the west as well as supporting anything built on Lot 12. He may impose another condition for Lot 12, in that if it can be built it can be built, but it may actually yield to the Urban Separator. These are steep slopes and adjoin other people's property, there are a lot of things involved in making sure it is done safely without jeopardizing anybody on this site or adjacent sites. Ms. Henning checked on the requirements for a Hillside Subdivision. Lots are required to be larger than the minimum size. Erosion control, grading and Geoteeh information seem to be the criteria. This is a difficult site, the applicant has been very responsive in working with the City. The remaining concerns would be how clearing would be accomplished on Lot 12 in order to preserve the number of trees required and accommodate all the improvements. There will be export from the site which does not seem to be severe. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 11:36 a.m. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant, Robert Wilson, filed a request for an approval of a Preliminary Plat for the subdivision of a 10 8,8 84 square foot (2.5 acre) parcel in the R-1, R-8 and R-14 zones and in the Urban Separator Overlay. The original proposal encompassed 13-lots and 4-tracts (for open space and storm detention). The revised proposal encompasses 12-lots and 3-tracts (for open space). 2. The yellow file containing the staff report, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) documentation and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit # 1. 3. The Environmental Review Committee (ERC), the City's responsible official issued a Determination of Non -Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M). 4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. 5. The subject site is located at 720 South 55th Street. The subject site is located north of 55th and does not front directly on that street. The subject site is east of Talbot Road South and is generally south of Wilson Park Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 8 Valley Medical Center and directly south of the eastern portion of the Sikh Temple site. An existing home is located on the eastern end of the parcel. That home would be removed if the plat is approved. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of a variety of residential uses ranging from low density to medium density uses, but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. The subject site is currently zoned R-1 (Single Family - 1 dwelling unit/acre), R-8 (Single Family - 8 dwelling units/acre) and R-14 (medium density - 14 units/acre). The R-14 portion is only about 10 feet wide. 8. The subject site is also subject to the Talbot Road Urban Separator Overlay requiring preservation of a corridor of open space. The overlay is located near the westernmost portion of the subject site and is the portion zoned R-1. It is approximately 23,795 square feet. An Administrative Interpretation found that only 50 percent of the area defined by the urban separator rather than 50 percent of the entire site should be restricted to open space use. 9. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 3268 enacted in December 1978. 10. The subject site is approximately 2.49 acres or 108,884 square feet. The rectangular subject site is approximately 207 feet wide (north to south) by 510 feet long. The southwest corner of the subject site is approximately 290 feet north of South 55th. 11. The subject site slopes downward over 110 feet from approximately 370 feet in the northeast corner of the site to approximately 254 feet at its western boundary. The slopes range from 13 percent 39 percent with an area exceeding 40 percent east of the southwest corner of the site. Slopes exceeding 40 percent are designated as protected slopes. 12. The site's sloped topography means the site falls within the definition of a Hillside Subdivision. Larger lots and decreased density are permitted in Hillside Subdivisions. 13. The applicant proposes grading the subject site to create building pads for homes as well as appropriate grades for roads to and through the site. The applicant proposes approximately 17,000 cubic yards of cut and approximately 6,000 cubic yards of structural fill. 14. The tree inventory showed 101 significant trees on the subject site. Code requires the retention of 25 trees whereas the applicant proposes retaining 15 trees. The replacement ratio is six (6) trees for each one removed that should have been retained. Sixty new trees would be planted mainly in the open space corridors. Additional street trees would be required 15. Access to the subject site would be provided via a new public roadway that connects S 55th with the subject site across a neighboring, third -party property. This south to north roadway would be paved to a width of 26 feet and have an eight foot planter strip and a 5 foot sidewalk on its west side. It would connect to a new roadway, Road A, through the site that would curve to the east and end in a T- intersection with another north -south road, Road B. This Road B would extend to the north and south Wilson Paris Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 9 property lines. The north leg would eventually connect to properties north of the subject site. The south leg would connect to a secondary, gated emergency access easement that connects to S 55th. The emergency road would have 20 feet of paving. Road A, the main road through the site would have a public right-of-way 42 feet wide and would continue the sidewalk on its north side. A modification to reduce Road A to less than 42 feet was denied. 16. The applicant proposes dividing the subject site into 12 lots and 3 tracts (labeled Tracts B, C and D - there is no Tract A). The three tracts are located south of Road A as you enter the plat from the west, followed by Proposed Lots 1, 2 and 3. Proposed Lots 4-7 are located along the eastern edge of the plat, east of Road B. Proposed Lots 8-12 are located along the north side of Road A. Tract B would encompass the critical slopes. Tracts C and D would be open space areas. As initially proposed the eastern portion of Proposed Lot 12 would be an open space easement as it is governed by the Urban Separator overlay. 17. The lots would range in size from 4,500 square feet to 13,006 square feet. Most of the lots would be between 5,400 square feet and just under 6,000 square feet. The different zones have different development standards. Proposed Lots 1 - 11 are subject to the R-8 standards. Proposed Lot 12 is subject to the R-1 standards. There are actually no lots subject to the R-14 standards. Staff noted that the proposed lots appear to meet the appropriate zoning standards. 18. The applicant proposes installing a number of rockeries along the north and east side of the plat to terrace the lots and provide more level building pads or yard areas. These rockeries will vary in height. The initial plans show them as 5 and 6 foot rockeries. 29. The applicant proposes a tall retaining wall along the western boundary of the subject site adjacent to the four (4) lots of the adjacent Geneva Court Plat. The wall will be twenty (20) feet tall. Walls or rockeries will also be provided along the entry road from S 55th to provide suitable grades for a road in the steeper slopes. 20. Construction of walls or rockeries along property lines may require cooperation and even construction easements from adjoining property owners. The applicant cannot enter upon or injure neighboring properties without legal consent. The ERC imposed conditions to address the visual impacts of the large retaining structures. 21. The three zoning districts each have their own density standards and staff calculated that they all comply with their underlying standards. The overall density for the plat would be 7.99 dwelling units per acre after subtracting sensitive areas and roadways. 22. The subject site is located within the Renton School District. The project is expected to generate approximately 5 or 6 school age children. These students would be spread across the grades and would be assigned on a space available basis. The proposal is subject to the Renton School Impact fee. 23. The development will increase traffic approximately 10 trips per unit or approximately 120 trips for the 12 single family homes. Approximately ten percent of the trips, or approximately 12 additional peak hour trips will be generated in the morning and evening. Wilson Park Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 10 24. There was concern about traffic and sight distance issues where the plat's access road intersects S 55th. Accidents along this roadway have been reported, including a fatality. The traffic analysis indicated that there is adequate sight distance on this area of the curving, hilly street. S 55th and the access to the plat may be impaired in inclement, snowy weather. 25. Stormwater from the east drains onto the subject site and then west toward Geneva Court where it is collected and conveyed to 53rd and Talbot. This stormwater will be collected on the subject site and conveyed to an off -site detention vault located under the western roadway that connects the plat to S 55th. The project will have to comply with the 2009 King County Stormwater Manual. 26. Sewer service will be provided by the City. 27. Water service will be provided by the Soos Creek District. CONCLUSIONS: While the division of the subject site into additional lots appears to serve the public use and interest, the twelve lot plat is excessively dense. The proposed plat attempts to maximize the density limitations of the subject site and it does so by sacrificing too much of the natural terrain of the property, particularly, the area designated by the Talbot Urban Separator Overlay. Not only does it sacrifice the natural slopes but it would impose a huge 20 foot tall retaining wall on its neighbors creating an aesthetic blight in the rear yards of four separate homes. Rather than blend this plat's terrain with its western neighbors, it creates an obstacle to neighborliness. Staff calculated that the plat would achieve a density of 7.99 dwelling units per acre. That certainly approaches the permitted density of 8 dwelling units per acre, the upper range, of the R-8 including what should be an R-I dwelling where the lot size is ordinarily one (1) dwelling unit for an over 43,000 square foot area. The Hillside Subdivision regulations suggest reducing densities on steeper properties. The comprehensive plan suggests making use of the natural contours of a site rather than substantially altering them. The applicant will be substantially altering the grades and slopes of a majority of the property, particularly the easternmost lots. It will also be substantially altering property on either side of the new road connecting the site to S 55th. It does not serve the public use and interest to further alter or damage the natural contours along the westernmost, Urban Separator portion of the property, in addition to the other alterations necessary to develop this otherwise substantially constrained parcel. Proposed Lot 12 and Road A are proposed to occupy too much of what should be protected property. Eliminating Proposed Lot 12 will also reduce the potential issues of a 20 foot wall holding up a large area of slope behind the existing Geneva Court homes. Proposed Lot 12 should be eliminated from the plat and its natural features and slope preserved. 2. An eleven lot plat will serve the public use and interest even though it will still substantially alter the terrain of the site and require engineered rockeries or walls along the road and easternmost lots. It will create eleven new parcels that can provide additional housing choices for residents of the City. It apparently can be served by urban services including domestic water and sewer and storm water. It appears that the stormwater can be contained or controlled by inline systems and an off -site vault under the new road. The access to the subject site might preclude access during inclement weather but it is not the only area subject to such constraints as hilly terrain and steeper roads are the only means of accessing certain parcels. Staff reviewed the traffic report and it appears that while the new access road will be steep it can meet engineering standards and its intersection provides reasonable sight distance for Wilson Park Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 11 all turning directions. The applicant will be providing mitigation fees to offset some of its impacts on emergency services, traffic, parks and schools. The development of eleven new lots should also increase the tax base of the City. The provision of Road B, the eastern north -south road will provide secondary access for emergency vehicles to the south and a potential connector to the north so that if additional development occurs north of the subject site through access might be available on public roads. A sign should be installed warning potential residents that Road B might be a through road with additional traffic in the future. 4. The Zoning, Comprehensive Plan and Urban Separator all recognized that this site would have additional development potential. The development of the subject site will obviously increase traffic on a steep, serpentine road. It will also introduce what should be short-term construction noise and impacts as well as the permanent additional impacts of an increased population on a parcel which now only supports one home. 5. In conclusion, while the development of the subject site was envisioned by the City's Zoning and Policies, the site is also severely constrained by topography and access limitations. Reducing the density by one lot will not unduly limit development of the site, still provide additional housing choices and also retain some of the natural features that the comprehensive plan and the urban separator intended to protect. Reducing the density by one lot will also protect neighboring properties from severe disruption along their eastern boundaries and protect them from an unsightly 20 foot tall wall. RECOMMENDATION: The City Council should approve an ELEVEN LOT plat of the subject site subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall comply with all requirements of the Determination of Non -Significance — Mitigated that was issued by the Environmental Review Committee on February 22, 2020 for Project File No. LUA-09-140, ECF, PP. 2. The applicant shall apply for a demolition permit, remove the existing residence and complete final inspections of the demolition prior to plat recording. A Native Growth Protection Easement (NGPE) shall be recorded over all of Proposed Lot 12 and Tracts B, C, and D and Lot 12 shall be eliminated. The edge of the NGPE shall be delineated with a split rail fence and identified with signage as approved by the Planning Division project manager. A fencing and signage detail shall be submitted to the Planning Division project manager for review and approval at the time of construction permit application. The fencing and signage shall be installed prior to recording the final plat. 4. The applicant shall be required to plant replacement trees as indicated on Exhibit 8 prior to recording of the final plat. 5. The applicant shall establish a Homeowners Association for the maintenance of the NGPE and the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-09-140, PP, ECF April 1, 2010 Page 12 stormwater vault and each home shall have an undivided interest in the western retaining wall or walls along the road and if Lot 12 is ultimately approved provide the appropriate documents for the review and approval of the Planning Division project manager prior to recording of the final plat. 6. A note shall be placed on the face of the plat which indicates that Lots 3 and 8 shall be oriented to take access from proposed Road A. 7. The applicant shall place signs at the northerly terminus of proposed Road B which alert future property owners that this road may be extended to the north should future development warrant such an exte4nsion. These signs shall be installed prior to recording of the final plat. 8. The applicant shall obtain any necessary construction and maintenance easements for the retaining walls and the stormwater vault subject to review and approval by the City Attorney. 9. The grate covering the drainage vault shall be located either in the sidewalk or the landscaping. 10. All retaining wall, rockeries and transitions shall meet the building standards.

Copies of this ordinance are available for inspection or purchase in the Finance Department, first floor of City Hall. An appeal must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 a.m., April 15, 2010. If the Examiner's Recommendation or Decision contains the requirement for Restrictive Covenants, the executed Covenants will be required prior to approval by City Council or final processing of the file. You may contact this office for information on formatting covenants. The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte (private one-on-one) communications may occur concerning pending land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in private with any decision -maker concerning the proposal. Decision -makers in the land use process include both the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council. All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This public communication permits all interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court. The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for Reconsideration as well as Appeals to the City Council. dd `M ObI-6ovn7 dj)W uoga2o7,aafaud laa-I35 y,SS 4;nQS QZL :uq'IP.-Jo7 P4OJd 113 - 30 T23N R5E E 1/2 EXHIBIT 5 jyiy � _pr�y�4 YaYa�y�iy.'yyB _�_ thl _3.iie p "!

DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS. 1. Project Description/Background The applicant proposes subdividing an existing 2.49 acre parcel (APN 312305-9125) into 12 lots suitable for the eventual development of detached single family homes and 3 tracts for open space. The resulting parcels would range in size from 4,500 to 13,006 square feet. In addition, the applicant is also LUA09-140, ECF, PP City of Renton Community and Economi efopment Deportment minory Report to the Hearing Examiner WILSON PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT LUA09-140, PP, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE Morch 16, 2010 Page 4 of 13 proposing that 4,884 square feet of proposed Lot 12 (which is within the Talbot Urban Separator) be designated as a Native Growth Protection Easement. The site is comprised of three zoning classifications: 27,156 square feet in the Residential -1 dwelling units per acre zone (R-1) ; 79,343 square feet in the Residential — 8 dwelling units per acre (R-8) zone; and, 2,384 square feet in the Residential —14 dwelling units per acre (R-14) zone. In addition, the Talbot Urban Separator Overlay is present and corresponds to the R-1 zoning in the western portion of the site. Overall density of the 12-lot proposal on the site would be 7.99 dwelling units per acre. Primary access to the site would be via a 50-foot wide access easement from South 551h Street. This access easement is approximately 300-feet in length and accesses the westerly portion of the site and is identified as "Road A" on the revised site plan. A secondary emergency access on the easterly side of the property is also proposed via a 30-foot wide access easement and continues to the northerly property line. This access is identified as "Road B" on the Preliminary Plat plan. A stormwater detention vault is proposed off -site and to be located under proposed Road A. The applicant is proposing grading involving 17,000 cubic yards of cut with approximately 6,000 cubic yards of it being used as structural fill material with the remainder to be exported. In addition, approximately 500 cubic yards of crushed rock fill would be imported to the project site for road construction. An existing single family residence (3,520 square feet) would be demolished to accommodate the proposed development. Because average slopes are in excess of 20 percent this project is considered a hillside subdivision. 2. Environmental Review Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971 as amended), on Feb 22, 2010, the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non -Significance Mitigated (DNS-M) for the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat. A 14-day appeal period commenced on February 26, 2010 and ended on March 12, 2010. No appeals of the threshold determination were filed as of the writing of this staff report. 3. Compliance with ERC Conditions Based on an analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) issued the following mitigation measure with the Determination of Non -Significance — Mitigated: 1. The applicant shall place a note on the face of the plat which requires a 15-foot building setback line from the top of slopes which are 40% or greater. 2. The applicant will be required to comply with the recommendations contained in the Geotechnical Engineering Study, prepared by Liu & Associates, Inc. dated February 20, 2009. 3. The applicant shall clearly mark and fence trees outside the construction area and replant exposed ground as soon as possible after construction activities. 4. That the applicant shall provide a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Plan designed pursuant to the 2005 Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements and provide staff with a Construction Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of construction permits.

Staff Review Comments Representatives from various departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and address issues raised by the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file, and the essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report and the Departmental Recommendation at the end of the report. 5. Consistency with Preliminary Plat Criteria Approval of a plat is based upon several factors. The following preliminary plat criteria have been established to assist decision -makers in the review of the plat: a) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Designation The site is designated Residential Low Density (RLD), Residential Single Family (RSF), and Residential Medium Density (RMD) on the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The proposal is consistent with all of the following Comprehensive Plan Land Use policies: Policy CD-1. Integrate development into natural areas by clustering development and/or adjusting site plans to preserve wetlands, steep slopes, and notable stands of trees or other vegetation. Natural features should function as site amenities. Use incentives such as flexible lot size and configuration to encourage preservation and add amenity value. ✓ Policy Objective Met ❑ Not Met Policy CD-22. During land division, all lots should front streets or parks. Discourage single tier lots with rear yards backing onto a street. Where a single -tier plat is the only LUA09-140, ECF, PP City of Renton Community and Economi elopment Department minary Report to the Nearing Examiner WIL50N PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT LUA09-140, PP ECF PUBLIC NEARING DATE March 16, 2010 Page b of 13 viable alternative due to land configuration, significant environmental constraints, or location on a principal arterial, additional design features such as larger setbacks, additional landscaping, or review of fencings should be required. a. Evaluation of land configuration should consider whether a different layout of streets or provision of alleys is physically possible and could eliminate the need for a single -tier plat. b. Evaluation of environmental constraints should consider whether the location and extent of critical areas prevents a standard plat design. c. Review of fencing should ensure that the development does not "turn its back" to public areas. ✓ Policy Objective Met ❑ Not Met Policy CD-25. Streets, sidewalks, and pedestrian or bike paths should be arranged an interconnecting network. Dead-end streets and cul-de-sacs should be discouraged. A grid or "flexible grid" pattern of streets and pathways, with a hierarchy of widths and corresponding traffic volumes, should be used. ✓ Policy Objective Met ❑ Not Met Policy CD-26. Interpret development standards to support plats designed to incorporate vehicular and pedestrian connections between plats and neighborhoods. Small projects composed of single parcels and/or multiple parcels of insufficient size to provide such connections, should include future street stubs. Future street connections should be clearly identified to notify residents of future roadway connections. ✓ Policy Objective Met ❑ Not Met Policy EN-28. Minimize on -site erosion and sedimentation during and after construction. ✓ Policy Objective Met ❑ Not Met Policy EN-71. Allow land alteration only for approved development proposals or approved mitigation efforts that will not create unnecessary erosion, undermine the support of nearby land, or unnecessarily scar the landscape. ✓ Policy Objective Met ❑ Not Met Policy LU-156. Residential Low Density areas may be incorporated into Urban Separators. ✓ Policy Objective Met ❑ Not Met Policy EN-28.

As proposed, all lots appear to contain adequate area to provide all required setback areas. Compliance with building setback requirements would be reviewed at the time of building permit review. The applicant has indicated that the existing residence on portions of proposed Lots 2, 3, 8, and 9 would be removed. Since the existing house is within the area of several proposed lots and the Road B, the house will need to be removed prior to recording. Staff recommends as a condition of approval, that the applicant apply for and obtain a demolition permit, remove the existing residence, and complete final inspections of the demolition prior to plat recording. Building Standards: The R-1 and R-8 zones permit one residential structure per lot. Each of the proposed lots would support the construction of one detached single family home/ Building height in the R-1 (Lot 12) and R-8 zones (Lots 1 - 11) is limited to 30 feet. The maximum lot coverage in the R-1 Zone (Lot 12) is 35% percent; while the maximum impervious lot coverage in the R-8 Zone is dependent on the lot size. For lots greater than 5,000 square feet (Lots 3 - 11) 35% lot coverage or 2,500 sq. ft. is permitted, whichever is greater; for lots less than 5,000 sq. ft. (Lots 1 and 2) 50% lot coverage is permitted. It appears that all of the proposed parcels contain enough area to accommodate single family residential homes that comply with the lot coverage requirements. The building standards for proposed lots would be verified at the time of building permit review. Proposed Lot 12 contains an open space easement which would be recorded as a part of the Native Growth Protection Easement (NGPE) recommended in this report. d f Community Assets Landscaping: The applicant will be required to provide landscape strips along the internal roads where street trees shall be planted. Proposed Road A within the plat would require an 8-foot landscape strip between the street and the sidewalk along the north side of the street. The off -site portion of Road A will also require an 8-foot planter strip between the street and the sidewalk. Proposed Road B is required to have a 5-foot planter strip landscaped with street trees. The applicant has submitted a tree inventory and tree retention worksheet which indicates that there are 101 trees on the site. A total of 25 trees must be retained and the applicant is proposing to retain 15 of these trees. The replacement ratio is six, 2-inch caliper trees per tree removed. The applicant is proposing to provide 60 replacement trees. The majority of these replacement trees are proposed to be planted within the Urban Separator Area (R-1 zoning) which encompasses the eastern portion of proposed Lot 12, and Tracts B, C, and D. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that a Native Growth Protection Easement (NGPE) be recorded over the eastern portion of Lot 12 and Tracts B, C, and D. The edge of the NGPE shall be delineated with a split rail fence and identified with signage as approved by the Planning Division project manager. A fencing and signage detail shall be submitted to the Planning Division project manager for review and approval at the time of construction permit application. The fencing and signage shall be installed prior to recording the final plat. In order to ensure that the proposed open space area would be provided with vegetation enhancement, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant be required to plant replacement trees as indicated on Exhibit 8. Staff further recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant establish a Homeowners LUA09-140, ECF, PP City of Renton Community and Fconomi elopment Department minory Report to the Hearing Examiner WIL50N PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT LUA09-140, PP, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE March 16, 2010 Page 9 of 13 Association which would be responsible for maintenance of the open space areas within the plat. Open Space: The R-1 zoned portion of the property coincides with the Talbot Road Urban Separator Overlay. RMC 4-3-110 identifies two Urban Separator Overlay areas in the City: the May Valley Urban Separator and the Talbot Road Urban Separator. In the May Valley Urban Separator, entire properties are included in the Urban Separator designation. However, in the Talbot Road Urban Separator only portions of properties are within the Urban Separator. Urban Separators are intended to create contiguous open space corridors within and between urban communities, which provide environmental, visual, recreational and wildlife benefits. The purpose of the Urban Separator is also to protect resources and environmentally sensitive areas. Properties located within Urban Separators are required to dedicate 50 percent of the designated gross area of the property as open space. For properties in May Valley, where entire properties are within the Urban Separator, this is appropriate. However, for properties in the Talbot Road area, where only portions of the sites are within the designated Urban Separator, the requirement for dedicating 50 percent of the area as open space is a hardship. By requiring 50 percent of the area designated as Urban Separator to be dedicated as open space, there is uniformity and fairness between the Talbot Road and May Valley Urban Separator areas. An Administrative Policy/Code Interpretation which became effective on January 14, 2010 states that properties in the Talbot Urban Separator will be required to dedicate 50 percent of the gross land area in the Urban Separator as open space, rather than 50 percent of the gross site area. The area to be dedicated may also include portions of the site abutting the Urban Separator. The area of the project site within the Talbot Road Urban Separator (R-1 zone) is 23,795 sf. Using the Administrative Policy/Code Interpretation cited, above, the applicant would be required to dedicate 11,898 sf of open space. The applicant proposes to provide 12,937 sf of open space (958 sf in Tract B, 4,195 sf in Tract C, 2,900 sf in Tract D, and 4,884 sf in the open space easement as part of proposed Lot 12). e) Compliance with the Subdivision Regulations Streets: Access to the site would require the dedication of a new public street across an abutting property. This street would 26-feet of paving, an 8-foot planter strip and a 5-foot sidewalk. A secondary emergency access across the abutting property to the southeast is required. This emergency access would be gated and is required to have 20-feet of paving. Residential Blocks: RMC 4-7-160A states that blocks shall be wide enough to accommodate two tiers of lots, except where the location and extent of environmental constraints prevent a standard plat land configurations including size and shape of the parcel. In addition, prior the approval of a single tier of lots, the applicant must demonstrate that a different layout or provision of an alley system is not feasible. The site contains environmental constraints including limited access, steep slopes, and narrow underlying lot width which preclude a double tier of lots or an alley configuration. Furthermore, the applicant initially proposed a different lot layout, with more parcels, and redesigned the plat to conform to the multiple underlying zone classifications and the Urban Separator Overlay. Staff supports the current lot layout. The parcels are uniform in size and shape. Lots: The proposed lots are generally rectangular in shape and conform to Code requirements in terms of minimum size and width_ Proposed Lots 3 and 8 would be corner lots and frontage has been determined to be on proposed Road A. Staff recommends as a LUA09-140, ECF, PP City of Renton Community and Economi, rlopment Department WILSON PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT PUBLIC HEARING DATE March 16, 2010 ninory Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA09-140, PP ECF Page 10 of 13 condition of approval that proposed Lots 3 and 8 front on proposed Road A and, therefore, a note shall be placed on the face of the plat prior to recording. f j Reasonableness of Proposed Boundaries: Access: Each of the proposed lots and tracts would have access to a public street. The applicant has proposed to extend a new 42-foot wide public street from South 55th Street. This street would have 26-feet of paving, an 8-foot planter strip, a five-foot sidewalk, curb and gutter along the westerly side of the street. This street would require off -site dedication. Within the plat, Road A would be a 42-foot wide right-of-way consisting of 26 feet of paving, with and 8-foot wide landscape strip and 5-foot wide sidewalk fronting proposed Lots 8 —12. The sidewalk and planting strip would be located on only on the north side of the street fronting Road A. Improvements proposed on proposed Road B fronting Lots 4 — 7 consist of a 5-foot wide sidewalk and a 5-foot wide sidewalk and a 5-foot wide planting strip along the east side of proposed Lot 8. Improvements for proposed Road B would end at the northern property line. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant place a sign at the northern terminus of proposed Road B that alerts future property owners that this road may be extended to the north should future development warrant such an extension. Emergency secondary access would be provided via an emergency vehicle access extending from the southeast terminus of Road `B' (near Lots 3 and 4) to South 551h Street. This emergency access would require 20-feet of pavement. Property owners to the west have expressed concern about the installation of new roads to the proposed project. They are concerned about appropriate setbacks, easements and fences along property lines. Additionally, these property owners are concerned about safety on these roads in inclement weather. The surrounding property owners also suggest a concrete barrier wall for cars travelling southbound (downhill) on proposed Road A. The applicant must address all appropriate City of Renton road safety issues at the time of construction. The property owners to the west are also concerned about traffic on 5 55th Street which is serpentine and slopes downward from east to west in the vicinity of the proposed project. While it is acknowledged that vehicle accidents have occurred in this area on S 55th Street, the Traffic Study submitted with the application materials indicates that sight distances at the proposed access point for the proposed project are adequate. This has been verified by City staff. Topography: The site contains areas of protected slopes (greater than 40 percent) in the southwestern portion of the property. The Environmental Review Committee imposed a mitigation measure which requires the applicant to place a note on the face of the plat that requires a 15-foot building setback line from the top of slopes which are 40 percent or greater. The applicant has indicated proposed retaining walls along the westerly side of proposed Lot 12 (within the R-14 portion of the property) and through proposed Lots 5, 6, and 7. These walls range in height from 12 to 20-feet in height. The retaining wall on the easterly side of the property would be poured concrete or soil nail composition. The retaining wall on the westerly side of the property would be poured concrete or reinforced earth. Because the height of these proposed walls may cause visual impacts to adjoining property owners to the west and northeast, the Environmental Review Committee imposed a mitigation measure to require a combination of texturing and tinting on all visible surfaces LUA09-140, ECF, PP City of Renton Community and Economi elopment Deportment minary Report to the Hearing Examiner WILSON PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT LUA09-140, PP, ECF PUBLIC HEARING DATE March 15, 2010 Page 11 of 13 of the proposed retaining walls. Because proposed retaining walls would be in close proximity to property lines, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant obtain any necessary construction and maintenance easements for the retaining walls and the stormwater vault. Property owners to the west of the project site have expressed concern about appropriate engineering of the proposed project so that the properties below the site are not compromised by increased danger of landslides or run-off. The Geotechnical Engineering Study prepared by Liu & Associates, Inc., dated February 20, 2009 and the Technical Information Report prepared by Baima & Holmberg, Inc., dated May 5, 2009 address these issues and present recommendations to avoid such consequences. Relationship to Existing Uses: Single-family residences abut the project site to the west and south with vacant land to the north and east. The detached single-family residences would be compatible with the surrounding development. g) Availability and Impact on Public Services (Timeliness) Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicated that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the proposed development. Due to limited access staff recommends, as a condition of approval, any future residence constructed within the plat shall be sprinkled unless the requirement is removed by the City of Renton Fire Marshal or his/her designee. A note shall be recorded on the face of the short plat to this effect. The proposal would add new residential units to the City that would potentially impact the City's Police and Fire Emergency Services. Staff recommended through SEPA Environmental Review as a condition of approval to mitigate for these impacts that requires the applicant to pay a Fire Mitigation Fee, based on $488.00 per new single-family residence payable prior to recoding of the final plat. The fire mitigation fee is estimated to be $5,386 (11 new units x $488.00 = $5,386.00) Schools: The project site is served by schools in the Renton School District. It is anticipated that the Renton School District can accommodate any additional students generated by this proposal at the following schools: Benson Hill Elementary, Nelsen Middle School and Lindbergh High School. School impact fees are regulated under RMC 4-1-160 and are in effect at the time of permit application or final plat approval. Currently, the Renton School District required fee is $6,310.00 per each new single-family residence; however, school mitigation and impact fees are updated annually and are subject to change. Surface Water: The applicant submitted a Technical Information Report for Wilson Park, prepared by Baima & Holmberg, Inc. dated May 5, 2009. That report includes an analysis of upstream tributary drainage which states that the parcel to the east drains onto the site. The Level 1 Downstream Drainage Analysis in the report states that runoff from the site flows west into lots in the adjacent Geneva Court development. The majorities of these flows collect in a drain constructed along the back yards of the western -most lots of the Geneva Court development and then flow into the storm system in South 53rd Place. This flow collects in a stormwater pond/bioswale facility located at the intersection of Talbot Road S and South 53rd Place approximately 750-feet downstream from the site. This facility outfalls through an 18-inch pipe to the west side of Talbot Road S into a poorly defined channel flowing into the woods. The flows then pass through a 12-inch culvert under a walking path and continue to flow west to a wooded wetland area more than a quarter LUA09-140, Eci, PP City of Renton Community and Economi elopment Department minary Report to the Nearing Examiner WILSON PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT LUA09-140, PP ECF PUBLIC NEARING DATE March 16, 2010 Page 12 of 13 mile downstream from the site. Flows into the ditch along S 551h Street continue west in a rock lined channel along the north side of the street to the intersection of Talbot Road S and S 551h Street. The channel is eroded and shows signs of flowing into the street. Flows from the ditch along Talbot Road S collect in the storm system about 850-feet downstream from the site eventually flowing into Springbrook Creek at about 1,800-feet downstream from the site. Springbrook Creek continues flowing west to about one-half mile downstream of the site where it enters a box culvert crossing SR 167. The Technical Information Report indicates that there are no apparent drainage problems. The plans submitted by the applicant indicate that a proposed storm water detention vault would be located off -site in the easterly proposed access road to control downstream stormwater impacts. The Environmental Review Committee imposed a mitigation measure that requires the final drainage report shall be subject to the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual. Property owners to the west have expressed concern about changes in drainage due to impervious surfaces created by the proposed project. The applicant proposes to install a stormwater vault within the off -site portion of proposed Road A. Additionally, the applicant would be required to use the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual in the final drainage report. Water: The applicant proposes to serve the subject subdivision with a public water supply and distribution system managed by the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District. A Certificate of Water Availability, dated November 7, 2008, has been issued by the Soos Creek Water & Sewer District. The applicant will show, during engineering review, the location and distance of all existing fire hydrants within 300 feet of the site. Existing and new hydrants will be required to be retrofitted with Storz "quick disconnect" fittings, if not already in place. Furthermore, the Fire Department requires that all new houses be sprinklered. Sewer: The site is within the City of Renton sewer service area. A minimum 8-inch diameter sanitary sewer extension is required to serve the site. Streets: The streets within the proposed project would be dedicated public streets and would become part of the City's street system. Improvements required on these streets are described ion the Access section, above. As indicated in that section, the neighboring property owners are concerned about how street safety issues would affect them. The Traffic Study prepared by Traffex, dated June 23, 2009 cites accident history in the project vicinity on South 551h Street between 98th Avenue S and 991h Place S. A total of four accidents occurred between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2008. Two of the accidents were injury accidents with one of them being fatal. None of the accidents occurred at the curve on South 551h Street where the site access is proposed. The Traffic Study indicates that sight distances are adequate for the curves in the vicinity of the proposed project. The adequacy of sight distances has been verified by City staff and has been found to be appropriate for the proposed plat L UA09-14Q ECF, PP City of Renton Community and Economi elopment Department ninary Report to the Nearing Examiner WILSON PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT LUA09-140, PP, ECF PUBLIC NEARING DATE March 15, 2010 Page 13 of 13 G.

REFERENCE: Wilson Park Preliminary Plat (LUA09-140, PP, ECF) SUBJECT: Determination regarding dedication of open space requirements for properties within the Talbot Urban Separator. BACKGROUND: The City received an application for a development proposal on a 2.5 acre site in the R-14, R-1, and R-8 Zones. The site includes a portion of the Talbot Urban Separator, which is an overlay intended to create contiguous open space corridors within and between urban communities, which provide environmental, visual, recreational and wildlife benefits. The purpose of the Urban Separator is also to protect resources and environmentally sensitive areas. There are two Urban Separator areas: May Valley and Talbot Road. In the May Valley Urban Separator, entire properties are included in the Urban Separator designation. However, in the Talbot area, only portions of properties are within the Urban Separator, and these are generally portions of the property containing steep slopes. Properties located within the Urban Separator are required per RMC 4-3-110.E.2.a to dedicate 50% of the gross land area of the parcel or parcels as a non - revocable open space tract. In May Valley, since the entire property is designated Urban Separator, the dedication of 50% of the gross site area is appropriate. However, in the Talbot Urban Separator where only a very small portion of the site is designated Urban Separator, it is inequitable to require that 50% of the gross site area be retained. JUSTIFICATION: Urban Separator regulations require dedication of 50% of designated properties gross area as open space. For properties in May Valley, where the entire site is within the Urban Separator, this is appropriate. However, for properties in the Talbot area, where only a portion of the site is designated Urban Separator, the requirement for dedication of H:\CED\Planning\Title IV\Docket\Administrative Policy Code interpretation\Cl-06\Code Interpretation.doc Page 1 of 2 50% of the area as open space is a hardship. By requiring 50% of the area designated as Urban Separator to be dedicated as open space, there is uniformity and fairness between the Talbot and May Valley areas. DECISION: Properties in the Talbot Urban Separator will be required to dedicate 50% of the gross land area in the Urban Separator as open space, rather than 50% of the gross site area. The area to be dedicated may also include portions of the site abutting the Urban Separator, in order to create a contiguous open space corridor. PLANNING DIRECTOR APPROVAL: C. E.

EXHIBIT 11 - - Department of Community and Economic Development November 10, 2009 Alex Pie tsch,Administrator Tom Redding Baima & Holmberg, Inc. 100 Front Street South Issaquah, WA 98027-3817 Subject: Wilson Park Preliminary Plat — LUA09-140 720 South 55"' Street Street Modification requests Dear Mr_ Redding: We have completed our review of your request for modifications to the street standards for the proposed Wilson Park Preliminary Plat located at 720 South 551h Street. The proposed residential subdivision is for 13 single family building lots and four additional tracts. The subdivision will be served by two access roadways south of the site to South 551h Street, connecting to a new street through the proposed project. You have requested modification for the internal roadway, including eliminating the required sidewalk from one side of the street, reducing the right-of-way width, and eliminating the requirement for a cul- de-sac. Clarification of the street improvement requirements for the two off -site access roadways is also. requested. The proposal continues to be based on a waiver of the required connection to the north property line. The request to reduce the internal street right-of-way width to 37.5 feet is denied. However, the request to delete the sidewalk from one side of the internal street is approved; subject to providing an eight -foot (8') planting strip between the street and remaining sidewalk. The requirement for a cul-de- sac is modified to allow for a hammerhead turnaround and gated emergency access for secondary access. The proposal to waive the requirement to extend the public street to the north property line is also denied. City Cade 4-6-060 (Street Standards) requires full.street improvements for all adjacent rights -of -way for, within, and dedicated by a plat. The -City can modify street improvements for new plats if there are practical difficulties in carrying out the provisions of -the Street Improvement Ordinance. The Modification Procedures, as defined in Section 4-9-250D, clearly states the criteria for approval by the Department Administrator. In order for a modification to be approved, the Department Administrator must find that a special individual reason makes the strict letter of this'Ordinance impractical, that the modification is in conformity with the intent and purpose of this. Ordinance, and that such modification: (a) Will meet the objectives andsafety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by this Ordinance, based upon sound engineering judgment; and (b) Will not be injurious to other property(s) in the vicinity; and Renton City Nall + 1055 South Grady way 0 Renton, Washington 98057. 9 rentonwa.gov Mr. Tom Redding Wilson Park Preliminary Plat Page 2 of 3 (c) Conform to the intent and purpose of the Code; and (d) Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and (e) Will not create adverse impacts to other properties in the vicinity. The request to reduce the right-of-way width to 37.5 feet cannot be approved. The code allows for consideration of reduction to 42 feet in width in cases where the additional area provides for a more reasonable lot configuration. The reduction to 42 feet in width is approved, but we fail to find justification to reduce the public right-of-way in this new residential neighborhood to a lesser standard. The request to eliminate the sidewalk along'the southerly side of the new internal roadway can be supported in this situation, provided there are equivalent value amenities provided in exchange for these improvements. This request is granted, subject to the provision of an eight- foot (8') wide planting strip, including landscaping and street trees, on the northerly side of the street with the new sidewalk. The project site will be accessed by a single public street, which requires a cul-de-sac. The proposed secondary access will mitigate the dead-end roadway configuration for emergency vehicles, but will not be available for regular vehicles and delivery trucks. The requirement for a cul-de-sac is hereby waived, .subject to providing a.full hammerhead turnaround in public right-of-way and emergency secondary access through an approved gated system. The function of a hammerhead turnaround will be provided with the extension of the street to the north property line, as addressed below. The proposed street design for the plat fails to meet the requirement to extend the public street system through the plat to the northerly property line. The property north of the site is large enough for future platting, and will be connected to the public street system approved for this plat. The requirement for extension of the public street system through the proposed plat to the north property line remains. This extension is to be provided where Lot 8 is proposed, as an extension of the easterly north -south access roadway. The street improvements required forth is preliminary plat, as modified in this decision, areas follows: Westerly off -site access roadway between S. 55th St and the development site: This street section shall be in dedicated public right-of-way. The pavement width can be reduced to 26 feet (26') in width, allowing for parking on one side of the street. Curb and gutter shall be provided along the westerly edge of the pavement. An eight -foot (8') wide planting strip shall be provided along the west side of the street, with a five-foot (5') wide sidewalk. New internal street system: This street section shall be in a minimum 42-foot width right-of-way. Additional right-of-way is also required at all the intersections and turns in the roadway configuration. These radius dedications shall be for a 15-foot radius. The pavement.width can be reduced to 26 feet in width, allowing for parking on one side of the street. Both sides of the street shall be improved with curb and gutter. A sidewalk is not required on the southerly side of the new street. The.face of the curb shall be installed three feet (3') from the southerly edge of the right-of-way. A five-foot (5') wide sidewalk shall be provided along the northerly and "outside" portion of the new internal street, with an Mr_ Tom Redding Wilson Park Preliminary Plat Page 3 of 3 eight -foot (8') planting strip. The planting strip is to be landscaped, including street trees. Street lighting meeting code with required lighting levels shall be provided on the new internal street system. Street extension to north property line: A public street is required in the approximate location of proposed Lot 8. This street shall include a minimum of 42 feet in right-of-way. The street improvements for this extension shall include 26 feet of pavement, and curb and gutter along both sides of the street. Sidewalks are required along both sides of this street section, both five feet (5') in width. The sidewalk on the east side of the street can be constructed adjacent to the new curb. The west side of the street shall include a five-foot (5') planting strip landscaped with street trees. Easterly off -site access roadway between S. 55th St and the development site: This street section is initially to be used for secondary emergency access through a private roadway easement. The pavement shall be a minimum of 20 feet in width through this roadway section. An emergency access gate, approved by the Renton Fire Department, can be installed where this roadway enters the new plat. If this private easement is replaced in the future with dedicated public right-of-way, the emergency access gate shall be removed. A note to this effect is to be included on the final plat. You have 14 days from the date of this letter to appeal the administrative determination in accordance with City code. Appeals are to be filed in writing; with the City Clerk, and require a filing fee in the amount of $250.00, Appeals must be filed with the City Clerk before Tuesday, November 24, 2009, at 5:00 P.M.

Wasser, Associate Planner Project Summary: The applicant is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review and approval of a Preliminary Plat for the subdivision of a 108,884 square foot (2.5 acre) parcel in the R-1, R-8 and R-14 zones and in the Urban Separator Overlay. The original proposal encompassed 13-lots and 4-tracts (for open space and storm detention). The revised proposal encompasses 12-lots and 3-tracts (for open space). A portion of proposed Lot 12 would also contain an open space easement. A proposed stormwater vault would be located under the proposed access road. Proposed lots range in size from 4,500 to 13,006 square feet with a density of 7.99 dwelling units per acre. The proposed lots are intended for the future construction of single family residences. Slopes generally range from 13% to 39% and the southwestern portion of the site contains a small area of protected slopes (over 40%). Access to the proposed lots would be via a new street off of S 55th Street; a secondary access for emergency vehicles is also proposed. Grading would involve approximately 17,000 cubic yards of cut with approximately 6,000 cubic yards used as structural fill. Approximately 500 cubic yards of crushed rock fill would be used for road construction. Project Location: 720 S 551h Street Exist. Bldg, Area SF. 3,520 sf (to be Proposed New Bldg.

At that meeting the ERC requested that additional information be submitted prior to rendering a threshold determination. On November 24, 2009, staff placed the project "on hold" and requested the applicant to provide more information regarding: the final preliminary plat layout (including street rights - of -way and improvements); driveway locations and grades; detailed information on grading; and retaining wall location, height and materials. The applicant has submitted additional information and the project was taken "off hold" on February 5, 2010 and rescheduled for review by the Environmental Review Committee. Additionally, an Administrative Policy/Code Interpretation affecting RMC 4-3-110, Urban Separator Overlay Regulations and, specifically the dedication of open space requirements in the Talbot Urban Separator Overlay became effective on January 14, 2010. Urban Separator regulations require dedication of 50% of designated properties gross area as open space. In the May Valley Urban Separator entire properties are designated as Urban Separator so the dedication of 50% of the gross site area is appropriate. In the Talbot Urban Separator only small portions of properties are designated as Urban Separator and, therefore, it is inequitable to require that 50% of the gross area be designated as open space. By requiring 50% of the area designated as Urban Separator to be dedicated as open space, there is uniformity and fairness between the Talbot and May Valley Urban Separator areas. This code interpretation accomplishes this uniformity and fairness. The applicant has submitted calculations which indicate that 50% of the proposed Wilson Park Preliminary Plat area designated as Urban Separator would be dedicated as non -revocable open space. The applicant originally proposed a preliminary plat of 13 single family residential lots and 4 tracts for open space and stormwater detention. The applicant is now proposing a preliminary plat of 12 single family lots and 3 tracts for open space. In addition, the applicant is also proposing that 4,884 square feet of proposed Lot 12 (which is in the Talbot Urban Separator) be designated as an open space easement. The stormwater detention vault is now proposed to be located under proposed Road A. The total site area is approximately 2.5 acres. There are 27,156 square feet in the Residential -1 dwelling units per acre, 79,343 square feet in the Residential — 8 dwelling units per acre (R-8) zone and 2,384 square feet in the Residential —14 dwelling units per acre (R-14) zone. The Talbot Urban Separator Overlay corresponds to the R-1 zoning in the western portion of the site. Overall density on the site is 7.99 dwelling units per acre. Primary access to the site would be via a 50-foot wide access easement from S 55th Street. This access easement is approximately 300-feet in length and accesses the westerly portion of the site and is identified as Road A on the revised site plan. A secondary emergency access on the easterly side of the property is also proposed via a 30-foot easement and continues to the northerly property line and is identified as Road B on the revised site plan. The applicant is proposing grading involving 17,000 cubic yards of cut with approximately 6,000 cubic yards of it being used as structural fill material. In addition, approximately 500 cubic yards of crushed rock fill would be imported to the project site for road construction.

Comments from surrounding property owners have been received. The concerns expressed were: slope (and the statement that appropriate engineering should be included so that property below the site is not compromised by landslide or run-off); trees (with a point raised that trees proposed for removal may weaken the hillside); drainage (with a point raised about an increase in impervious surfaces overburdening existing stormwater facilities); roads and access (with points raised about public safety); and stormwater retention. Code requirements and recommended mitigation measures address these concerns.

Environmental Impacts The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following probable impacts: 1. Earth Impacts: The subject site is located on a broad moderate to steep westerly -sloping hillside. This downward slope is at grades of 13 to 39 percent. The higher gradient portions of the site generally lie within the eastern 100 to 200 feet and the western 150 to 200 feet of the site. The applicant submitted a Geotechnical Engineering Study prepared by Liu & Associates, Inc. dated February 20, 2009. The report identifies the soils on the site as Kame Terrace deposits underlain by Ground Moraine. Kame Terrace deposits consist mostly of silty sand and gravel to cobble. Kame Terrace deposits are of moderately -high to high permeability and can provide good foundation support to structure in their native undisturbed state. The site contains areas of protected slopes (greater than 40%) in the southwestern portion of the property. This area of protected slopes would be contained within Tract B. The report concludes that conventional footing foundations constructed on or into the competent basal soils may be used to support residential buildings and the stormwater detention vault. Geotechnical study Revised ERCReport 09-140.doc City of Renton Department of Communi Economic Development E nmental Review Committee Report WILSON PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT ' LUA09-140, ECF, PP Report of February 22, 2010 Page 6 of 12 recommendations include a 15-foot building setback line from the top or toe of slopes with grades of 40% or more. Staff recommends that as a mitigation measure the applicant be required to place a note on the face of the plat which states that a 15-foot building setback line shall be established from the top of slopes with grades greater of 40% or more. The applicant is creating areas of protected slopes (40% or greater) in the easterly portion of the site on Lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Pursuant to RMC 4-3-050J.5, these slopes may not be developed. The revised plans submitted by the applicant indicate retaining walls along the westerly side of proposed Lot 12 (and within the R-14 zone) and through proposed Lots 5, 6 and 7. These walls range from 12-feet to 20-feet in height. The retaining wall on the easterly side of the property would be poured concrete or soil/nail composition and the westerly retaining wall would pour concrete or reinforced earth. The geotechnical study states that soils at shallow depth on the project site have good to excellent resistance against slope failures. The study concludes that if recommendations are followed the potential for deep-seated landslides would be minimal. Such recommendations include preserving vegetation outside of construction limits, re -vegetating exposed ground as soon as possible after construction activities and controlling runoff from impervious surfaces such as roofs, paved roadways and driveways. Staff recommends as a mitigation measure that the applicant shall clearly mark and fence trees outside the construction area and that exposed ground be replanted as soon as possible after construction activities. The topsoil and loose to medium -dense weathered soils on -site are of low resistance to erosion. Erosion may occur in the weaker surficial soils over the higher gradient areas if they are devoid of vegetation. Progressive erosion can lead to shallow, skin -type mudflows. The geotechnical report recommends preservation and maintenance of vegetation outside of construction limits to mitigate this potential hazard. The study also recommends that concentrated stormwater should not be discharged uncontrolled onto the ground. Stormwater from impervious surfaces should be captured by underground drain line systems connected to roof downspouts or by catch basins installed in roadways and driveways. Temporary erosion control measures are also recommended and these include: a thin layer of quarry spalls placed over excavated areas to protect the subgrade soils from disturbance by construction traffic; silt fences installed along the downhill sides of construction areas to prevent sediment from being transported onto adjacent properties or streets; and ditches or interceptor trench drains installed on the uphill sides of construction areas to intercept and drain away storm runoff and near -surface groundwater seepage. Staff recommends a mitigation measure which requires compliance with the recommendations contained in the Geotechnical Engineering Study, prepared by Liu & associates, Inc. dated February 20, 2009. Staff also recommends that the applicant provide a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Plan designed pursuant to the Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements outlined in Volume II of the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual and provide staff with a Construction Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of construction permits. This mitigation measure shall be subject to review and approval of the Development Services Division. Staff further recommends that weekly reports on the status and condition of the erosion control plan with any recommendations of change or revision to maintenance schedules or installation shall be submitted by the Project Engineer of record to the Public Works inspector.

Staff recommends that as a mitigation measure that the applicant adhere to a construction schedule involving grading and foundation work during the dryer period of the year. The geotechnical study discusses excavation and fills slopes. Approximately 17,000 cubic yards of earth material would be cut with approximately 6,000 cubic yards of it used as structural fill. Approximately 500 cubic yards of crushed rock fill would be imported for road construction. Excavation slopes shall not be steeper than the limits specified in local regulations. Permanent fill embankments required to support structural or traffic loads should be constructed with compacted structural fill placed over undisturbed, proof -rolled, firm, native, fresh Kame Terrace and/or lodgement till soils after the unsuitable soils are completely stripped. Mitigation Measures: 1. The applicant shall place a note on the face of the plat which requires a 15-foot building setback line from the top of slopes which are 40% or greater 2. The applicant will be required to comply with the recommendations contained in the Geotechnical Engineering Study, prepared by Liu & Associates, Inc. dated February 20, 2009. 3.

Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations; 2005 Department of Ecology Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements 2, Storm Water Impacts: The applicant submitted a Technical Information Report for Wilson Park, prepared by Baima & Holmberg, Inc. dated May 5, 2009. That report includes an analysis of upstream tributary drainage which states that the parcel to the east drains onto the site. The Level 1 Downstream Drainage Analysis in the report states that runoff from the site flows west into lots in the adjacent Geneva Court development. The majorities of these flows collect in a drain constructed along the back yards of the western -most lots of the Geneva Court development and then flow into the Revised ERC Report 09-140.doc City of Renton Department of Commune Economic (Development E inmental Review Committee Report WILSON PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT LUA09-140, ECF, PP Report of February 22, 2010 Page 8 of 12 storm system in South 53rd Place. This flow collects in a stormwater pond/bioswale facility located at the intersection of Talbot Road S and South 53'd Place approximately 750-feet downstream from the site. This facility outfalls through an 18-inch pipe to the west side of Talbot Road S into a poorly defined channel flowing into the woods. The flows then pass through a 12-inch culvert under a walking path and continue to flow west to a wooded wetland area more than a quarter mile downstream from the site. Flows into the ditch along S 55th Street continue west in a rock lined channel along the north side of the street to the intersection of Talbot Road S and S 55th Street. The channel is eroded and shows signs of flowing into the street. Flows from the ditch along Talbot Road S collect in the storm system about 850-feet downstream from the site eventually flowing into Springbrook Creek at about 1,800-feet downstream from the site. Springbrook Creek continues flowing west to about one-half mile downstream of the site where it enters a box culvert crossing SR 167. The Technical Information Report indicates that there are no apparent drainage problems. The revised submitted plans indicate that a proposed storm water detention vault would be located in the easterly proposed access road to control downstream stormwater impacts. Staff recommends as a mitigation measure that the final drainage report shall be subject to the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual. Mitigation Measures: 1. The final drainage report and design shall be subject to the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual. Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations; 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual 3. Vegetation Impacts: The applicant submitted a Tree Inventory and Retention Plan and a Tree Retention Worksheet with the project application. There are 101 total trees on the project site. Twenty- three trees would be required to be retained. The applicant is proposing to retain 21 trees and replacing the 2 additionally required trees with twelve 2-inch caliper trees as required. Lot 12, Tracts C and D, and a portion of Tract B are located in the Talbot Urban Separator Overlay. As stated previously in this report, the purpose of the Urban Separator Overlay includes providing a continuous open space and wildlife corridor. A revised tree retention worksheet and a revised tree replacement plan were submitted by the applicant and indicate that 60 replacement trees would be planted on site. Because the majority of these trees would be planted within the Urban Separator area, the proposed open space area would be provided with vegetation enhancement. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation is necessary. Nexus: N/A 4. Parks and Recreation Impacts: It is anticipated that the proposed development would generate future residents who would use City park and recreation facilities and programs. Staff recommends that the applicant be required to pay a Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per each new single family lot to be payable prior to recording the final plat. The fee is estimated at $5,838.36 (12 new lots —1 existing lot x $530.76 = $5,838,36).

Transportation Impacts: Access to the site would be from S 55t� Street via a 50-foot access easement (Road A) to the west and a 30-foot emergency access easement to the east (Road B). The applicant has requested a street modification to reduce the internal roadway right-of-way width from 50-feet to 37.5-feet. That request was denied by the Development Services Director on November 10, 2009; therefore, the internal roadway is required to be a minimum of 42-feet of right-of-way. Additional right-of-way is also required at all intersections and turns in the roadway configuration. The pavement can be reduced to 26-feet in width allowing parking on one side of the street. Both sides of the street would be required to be improved with curb and gutter. A sidewalk is not required on the southerly side of the street; however, the curb shall be installed 3-feet from the southerly edge of the right-of-way. A 5-foot sidewalk is required by code and must be provided along the northerly and outside portion of the new internal street with an 8-foot planting strip (which shall include street trees). Additionally, street lighting is also required. The revised proposed internal street design provides a connection to the property to the north. That property is large enough for future platting. This proposed northerly street extension is depicted on the revised site plan as Road B. Proposed Lots 4 through 7 front on this street. The westerly access roadway must be dedicated as public right-of-way. The pavement may be reduced to 26-feet in width, allowing for parking on one side of the street. Curb and gutter must be provided along the westerly edge of the pavement. An 8-foot wide planting strip and a 5-foot sidewalk must be provided along the west side of the street. The easterly access easement from S 55th Street is initially to be used for secondary emergency access through private road easement. The pavement must be a minimum of 20-feet in width. An emergency access gate, approved by the Fire Department can be installed where the roadway enters the new plat. The proposal would result in an increase in traffic trips to the City's street system. Therefore, staff recommends that the applicant pay a Traffic Mitigation Fee based on a rate of $75.00 per additional average daily vehicle trip. Each new residence is expected to generate 9.57 trips; credit is given for the existing residence on the subject property. The Traffic Mitigation Fee is estimated to be $7,895.25 (12 new lots —1 existing lot x 9.57 trips x $75.00 = $7,895.25) and would be payable prior to recording the final plat. Mitigation Measures: 1.

The fee is estimated to be $7,895.25. Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations; Transportation Mitigation Fee Resolution No. 3100, Ordinance 4527 6. Fire & Police Impacts: Fire apparatus access roads appear adequate. All required roadways must be fully paved and not exceed 15% grade elevation, turning radius is 25-foot inside and 45-foot outside. Proposed access gates must meet all requirements for Fire Department standards including Click-2-Enter control devices. Minimum 20-foot roadway sections must be signed for "No Parking — Anytime" on each side at maximum 50-foot intervals. Fire Prevention staff indicates that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the proposed development subject to the condition that the applicant provides the required improvements and fees. As the proposal could potentially add 13 new residences, staff recommends that the Applicant be required to pay a Fire Mitigation Fee in the amount of $488.00 per each new single family lot with credit given for the existing single family residence. The total fee is estimated to be $5,368.00 (13 new lots —1 existing lot X $488.00 = $5,368.00). Mitigation Measures: 1.

Aesthetics Impacts: The applicant is proposing retaining walls on the property along the westerly property line and in the northeastern portion of the subject property and within proposed Lot 7. These proposed retaining walls would range from 12 to 20-feet in height. The applicant has indicated that the proposed retaining wall on the westerly side of the property would be composed of poured concrete or reinforced earth and the proposed retaining wall in the eastern portion of the property would be composed of poured concrete or soil nail. Because the height of these proposed walls may cause visual impacts to adjoining property owners, staff recommends as a mitigation measure that a combination of texturing and tinting shall be used on all visible surfaces of the retaining walls. A sample board indicating the texture and tinting for the retaining walls shall be submitted for the review and approval of the Planning Division project manager prior to issuance of construction permits.

The proposed residential subdivision is for 13 single family building lots and four additional tracts. The subdivision will be served by two access roadways south of the site to South 551h Street, connecting to a new street through the proposed project. You have requested modification for the internal roadway, including eliminating the required sidewalk from one side of the street, reducing the right-of-way width, and eliminating the requirement for a cul- de-sac. Clarification of the street improvement requirements for the two off -site access roadways is also requested. The proposal continues to be based on a waiver of the required connection to the north property line. The request to reduce the internal street right-of-way width to 37.5 feet is denied. However, the request to delete the sidewalk from one side of the internal street is approved, subject to providing an eight -foot (8') planting strip between the street and remaining sidewalk. The requirement for a cul-de- sac is modified to allow for a hammerhead turnaround and gated emergency access for secondary access. The proposal to waive the requirement to extend the public street to the north property line is also denied. City Code 4-6-060 (Street Standards) requires full street improvements for all adjacent rights -of -way for, within, and dedicated by a plat. The City can modify street improvements for new plats if there are practical difficulties in carrying out the provisions of the Street Improvement Ordinance. The Modification Procedures, as defined in Section 4-9-250D, clearly states the criteria for approval by the Department Administrator. In order for a modification to be approved, the Department Administrator must find that a special individual reason makes the strict letter of this Ordinance impractical, that the modification is in conformity with the intent and purpose of this Ordinance, and that such modification: (a) Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by this Ordinance, based upon sound engineering judgment; and (b) Will not be injurious to other property(s) in the vicinity; and Renton City Hall • 1055 South Grady Way 9 Renton, Washington 98057 • rentonwa.gov Mr. Tom Redding Wilson Park Preliminary Plat Page 2 of 3 (c) Conform to the intent and purpose of the Code; and (d) Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and (e) Will not create adverse impacts to other properties in the vicinity. The request to reduce the right-of-way width to 37.5 feet cannot be approved. The code allows for consideration of reduction to 42 feet in width in cases where the additional area provides for a more reasonable lot configuration. The reduction to 42 feet in width is approved, but we fail to find justification to reduce the public right-of-way in this new residential neighborhood to a lesser standard. The request to eliminate the sidewalk along the southerly side of the new internal roadway can be supported in this situation, provided there are equivalent value amenities provided in exchange for these improvements. This request is granted, subject to the provision of an eight- foot (8') wide planting Strip, including landscaping and street trees, on the northerly side of the street with the new sidewalk. The project site will be accessed by a single public street, which requires a cul-de-sac. The proposed secondary access will mitigate the dead-end roadway configuration for emergency vehicles, but will not be available for regular vehicles and delivery trucks. The requirement for a cul-de-sac is hereby waived, .subject to providing a full hammerhead turnaround in public right-of-way and emergency secondary access through an approved gated system. The function of a hammerhead turnaround will be provided with the extension of the street to the north property line, as addressed below. The proposed street design for the plat fails to meet the requirement to extend the public street system through the plat to the northerly property line. The property north of the site is large enough for future platting, and will be connected to the public street system approved for this plat. The requirement for extension of the public street system through the proposed plat to the north property line remains. This extension is to be provided where Lot 8 is proposed, as an extension of the easterly north -south access roadway. The street improvements required for this preliminary plat, as modified in this decision, are as follows: Westerly off -site access roadway between S. 55th St and the development site: This street section shall be in dedicated public right-of-way. The pavement width can be reduced to 26 feet (26') in width, allowing for parking on one side of the street. Curb and gutter shall be provided along the westerly edge of the pavement. An eight -foot (8') wide planting strip shall be provided along the west side of the street, with a five-foot (5') wide sidewalk. New internal street system: This street section shall be in a minimum 42-foot width right-of-way. Additional right-of-way is also required at all the intersections and turns in the roadway configuration. These radius dedications shall be for a 15-foot radius. The pavement width can be reduced to 26 feet in width, allowing for parking on one side of the street. Both sides of the street shall be improved with curb and gutter. A sidewalk is not required on the southerly side of the new street. The face of the curb shall be installed three feet (3') from the southerly edge of the right-of-way. A five-foot (5') wide sidewalk shall be provided along the northerly and "outside" portion of the new internal street, with an Mr. Tom Redding Wilson Park Preliminary Plat Page 2 of 3 (c) Conform to the intent and purpose of the Code; and (d) Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and (e) Will not create adverse impacts to other properties in the vicinity.

The street improvements required for this preliminary plat, as modified in this decision, are as follows: _Westerly off -site access roadway between 5.55`" St and the development site: This street section shall be in dedicated public right-of-way. The pavement width can be reduced to 26 feet (26') in width, allowing for parking on one side of the street. Curb and gutter shall be provided along the westerly edge Rf the pavement. An eight -foot (8') wide planting strip shall be provided along the west side of the street, with a five-foot (5') wide sidewalk. New internal streets stem. This street section shall be in a minimum 42-foot width right-of-way. Additional right-of-way is also required at all the intersections and turns in the roadway configuration. These radius dedications shall be for a 15-foot radius. The pavement width can be reduced to 26 feet in width, allowing for parking on one side of the street. Both sides of the street shall be improved with curb and gutter. A sidewalk is not required on the southerly side of the new street. The.face of the curb shall be installed three feet (T) from the southerly edge of the right-of-way. A five-foot (5') wide sidewalk shall be provided along the northerly and "outside" portion of the new internal street, with an Mr. Tom Redding Wilson Park Preliminary Plat Page 3 of 3 eight -foot (8') planting strip. The planting strip is to be landscaped, including street trees. Street lighting meeting code with required lighting levels shall be provided on the new internal street system. Street extension to north property line: A public street is required in the approximate location of proposed Lot 8. This street shall include a minimum of 42 feet in right-of-way. The street improvements for this extension shall include 26 feet of pavement, and curb and gutter along both sides of the street. Sidewalks are required along both sides of this street section, both five feet (5') in width. The sidewalk on the east side of the street can be constructed adjacent to the new curb. The west side of the street shall include a five-foot (5') planting strip landscaped with street trees. Easterly off -site access roadway between S. 55th St and the development site: This street section is initially to be used for secondary emergency access through a private roadway easement_ The pavement shall be a minimum of 20 feet in width through this roadway section. An emergency access gate, approved by the Renton fire Department, can be installed where this roadway enters the new plat. If this private easement is replaced in the future with dedicated public right-of-way, the emergency access gate shall be removed. A note to this effect is to be included on the final plat. You have 14 days from the date of this letter to appeal the administrative determination in accordance with City code. Appeals are to be filed in writing, with the City Clerk, and require a filing fee in the amount of $250.00. Appeals must be filed with the City Clerk before Tuesday, !'November 24, 2009, at 5:00 p-m.

I am the Planning Division project manager for this proposal. Your original memo was placed in the file for this project as will your most recent email. Your concerns will be addressed in the staff report to the Hearing Examiner. The City of Renton Hearing Examiner will consider the file, staff report and any testimony given at the public hearing on March 16, 2010 in his determination of a decision on the proposal. If you would like to attend and testify, you are most welcome to do so. The Hearing Examiner Hearings begin promptly.at 9:00 a.m. on their scheduled day in the City Council Chambers on the 7th Floor of City Hall. There are two projects, including the Wilson Park Preliminary Plat, scheduled for hearing on March 16, 2010. At this point I don't know which will be considered first. As a party of record you will receive notice of the public hearing. Please contact me if you have additional questions regarding this matter. Jerry Gerald C.

I previously emailed you a memo (attached) dated 11/30/09, regarding road -safety concerns of the Springbrook Terrace Homeowners Association (STHA), relating to the proposed LUA09-140 development. Since our memo of concern was submitted after the comment period for this project was previously closed, you did not indicate if the information in our memo had been considered. f At my request, you sent me t tiap of the proposed development -ced 10/16/09, by City of Renton. After studying that map, I notice a comment under Tract Definitions; Tract W , indicating the fifty(50) foot road easement may be used for possible future access for property to the North. That property would be Parcel Number 3123059075, which runs from Talbot Road to the East end of the proposed LUA09-140 development. If a roadway from the 3123059075 parcel links to the Wilson Park Plat, it could potentially yield much more traffic entering/exiting the already congested S 55Th St, in the middle of a sharp curve with limited sight distance. I request the City of Renton consider this additional information and the original memo of 11/30/09, in deliberations on this proposed land development. If you are not the correct individual to contact, please refer me to someone else. Also, should I attend the public hearing on 3/16/2010 and be prepared to speak. If so, what process should I follow to get on the agenda? Thank you for your assistance in this matter, Michael S.

Link i I live at 19249 98TH PI S, Rent WA. 98055-6348. I am the President of the Springbrook Terrace Home Owners Association, which is located across the street (S 55TH Street), from the notification sign for this project. We already have concerns about the heavey volume of traffic on 5 55TH and the extreme curves in this area. We have had many cars leave the road and end up in our common property. The location of these accidents, is very near to where the notification sign for this project, is currently situated. Our concern is that adding more turning traffic in these tight corners, without modifying the roadway, would increase traffic problems in this area. Please email or paper mail information to me, regarding where the two proposed access roads for this project, would intersect S 55TH. The Home Owners Association may want to submit written comments and attend the public hearing. Thank you, Michael S. Link 2 November 12, 2009 R E C01; FIENTON D Mr. Gerald C. Wasser, Associate Planner NO V 2�� CED — Planning Division, City of Renton 1055 South Grady Way BUILDING DIVISION Renton, WA 98057 RE: LUA09-140, ECF, PP (Wilson Park Preliminary Plat) Mr. Wasser: Thank you for the opportunity to provide written comments on the above application. As owners of property adjacent to the subject site (located directly below/west of the site), we have an interest in insuring negative impacts are avoided and appropriate measures are taken in the possible development of this site. Comments/Concerns: 1. SLOPE This site sits on a fairly significant slope. While site development documents may address the actual slopes on the listed property, we are concerned that development plans include addressing impacts to txftfiag 219pes below (west) of the proposed site. As can be seen in the attached photos (Photos # 1 & #2), the western property line of the proposed development abuts already developed property (4 homes). The slope below the shared property line is significant, with an almost a thirty foot (30) drop in slope over the first one hundred feet (1W) to the west of that line. Development approval should address appropriate engineering to not compromise property below the site from landslide or run-off threats. 2. TREES Understanding that the City does have established tree retention/replacement ordinances, we feel that it is appropriate to comment on the importance of balance in the planning. As can be seen in attached Photos # 1 & # 2, there are numerous large tress located on the western and northwestern portion of the proposed site (the large trees seen in the photos behind the existing homes are on the application site). Elimination of these long established trees and their associated root systems may weaken the hillside if totally cleared and replaced with a comparable number of smaller, less mature trees. Conversely, retention of only a few of the very large mature pines, currently in excess of over one hundred feet (1w) tall, may make them susceptible to falling in high winds. With their location on the site, these would most likely fall downhill and threaten the existing homes below. Appropriate plans on tree retention/replacement, with the possible impacts to adjacent property, should be addressed in plan approval. 3. DRAINAGE Development of the site will certainly change the drainage, due to increased impervious surfaces. We are concerned that every effort be made to insure that the changes in site drainage not impact property located directly below the proposed development. Additionally, while the City of Renton recently (summer of 2009) preformed work on the open storm water ditches along S. 55th Street, including the addition of lining the ditches with rock (Photo # 3), recent storms have shown that these ditches already run close to full capacity. If additional storm water runoff from new development is added to the existing open trenches along S. 551h Street, measures should be addressed to insure that any added runoff from new development not allow overflow to the existing open storm drainage trenches. 4. ROADS With the understanding that site development would include installation of a new road that would eventually be dedicated to the City, there are a number of concerns about impacts to existing development. Appropriate setbacks from existing property lines and fences (including easements) should be the responsibility of the developer. Measures should be taken to insure public safety of any road running down slope, both for the new development and property adjacent. Over the past five (5) years, roads built along the hillside between S. 55ta Street and Carr Road have all experienced sever weather impacts and have become slippery and impassable due to ice and snow. Even on streets constructed to existing road slope standards, vehicles are unable to maintain control on the slopes, causing the vehicles to either slide uncontrollably or making the road impassable. Concerns exist that vehicles sliding downhill from the proposed development site road could leave the roadway and crash through existing wood fencing along the shared property line. The installation of a concrete barrier wall along the west property line should be considered for public safety. S. ACCESS (S. SSM' Street) It is understood that access to the development would be via a new road to be dedicated to the City coming off S. 55th Street. As a fairly significant arterial, S. 55'h Street is currently substandard at best. Due to the numerous curves as the road "snakes up the hill', sever steepness, limited width, lack of side walks, extreme limitations on line of sight, and with current heavy use, the road is already an area of concern (Photos # 4 & #5). Impacts of an additional side street to access this new development should be taken into consideration for both the appropriate safety of those using the new site as well as the thousands of vehicles using S. 551h on a daily basis. An appropriate turning lane at the development entrance should be mandated (as in other developments in the City) to insure proper public safety on the already hazardous S. SSth Street. 6. STORM WATER RETENTION (PONDIVAULT) Property owners located below the proposed development site are concerned about having a retention pond and/or vault located above and extremely close to their property. Existing slopes and the proposed site development (plus lose of any large trees for slope stability) raise questions of both short and long term impacts. What is the liability for the proposed development land owner/construction company for any damage done to our properties by slope failure associated by water retention? If slope damage occurs after construction (when the development company is gone) what liability does the new neighborhood (home owners) or the City have to our existing neighborhood if such damage occurs? Again, we appreciate the opportunity to submit comments and request that we remain a party of record on this application.

The proposed residential subdivision is for 13 single family building lots and four additional tracts. The subdivision will be served by two access roadways south of the site to South 551h Street, connecting to a new street through the proposed project, You have requested modification for the internal roadway, including eliminating the required sidewalk from one side of the street, reducing the right-of-way width, and eliminating the requirement for a cul- de-sac. Clarification of the street improvement requirements for the two off -site access roadways is also requested. The proposal continues to be based on a waiver of the required connection to the north property line. The request to reduce the internal street right-of-way width to 37.5 feet is denied. However, the request to delete the sidewalk from one side of the internal street is approved, subject to providing an eight -foot (8') planting strip between the street and remaining sidewalk. The requirement for a cul-de- sac is modified to allow for a hammerhead turnaround and gated emergency access for secondary access. The proposal to waive the requirement to extend the public street to the north property line is also denied. City Code 4-6-060 (Street Standards) requires full street improvements for all adjacent rights -of -way for, within, and dedicated by a plat. The City can modify street improvements for new plats if there are practical difficulties in carrying out the provisions of the Street Improvement Ordinance. The Modification Procedures, as defined in Section 4-9-250D, clearly states the criteria for approval by the Department Administrator. In order for a modification to be approved, the Department Administrator must find that a special individual reason makes the strict letter of this Ordinance impractical, that the modification is in conformity with the intent and purpose of this Ordinance, and that such modification: (a) Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by this Ordinance, based upon sound engineering judgment; and (b) Will not be injurious to other property(s) in the vicinity; and Renton City Hall + 1055 South Grady Way 0 Renton, Washington 98057 0 rentonwa.gov Mr. Tom Redding Wilson Park Preliminary Plat Page 2 of 3 (c) Conform to the intent and purpose of the Code; and (d) Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and (e) Will not create adverse impacts to other properties in the vicinity. The request to reduce the right-of-way width to 37.5 feet cannot be approved. The code allows for consideration of reduction to 42 feet in width in cases where the additional area provides for a more reasonable lot configuration. The reduction to 42 feet in width is approved, but we fail to find justification to reduce the public right-of-way in this new residential neighborhood to a lesser standard. The request to eliminate the sidewalk along the southerly side of the new internal roadway can be supported in this situation, provided there are equivalent value amenities provided in exchange for these improvements. This request is granted, subject to the provision of an eight- foot (8') wide planting strip, including landscaping and street trees, on the northerly side of the street with the new sidewalk. The project site will be accessed by a single public street, which requires a cul-de-sac. The proposed secondary access will mitigate the dead-end roadway configuration for emergency vehicles, but will not be available for regular vehicles and delivery trucks. The requirement for a cul-de-sac is hereby waived, subject to providing a full hammerhead turnaround in public right-of-way and emergency secondary access through an approved gated system. The function of a hammerhead turnaround will be provided with the extension of the street to the north property line, as addressed below. The proposed street design for the plat fails to meet the requirement to extend the public street system through the plat to the northerly property line. The property north of the site is large enough for future platting, and will be connected to the public street system approved for this plat. The requirement for extension of the public street system through Lhe proposed plat to the north property line remains. This extension is to be provided where Lot 8 is proposed, as an extension of the easterly north -south access roadway. The street improvements required for this preliminary plat, as modified in this decision, are as follows: _Westerly off -site access roadway between S. 55rh St and the development site: This street section shall be in dedicated public right-of-way. The pavement width can be reduced to 26 feet (26') in width, allowing for parking on one side of the street. Curb and gutter shall be provided along the westerly edge of the pavement. An eight -foot (8') wide planting strip shall be provided along the west side of the ,treet, with a five-foot (5') wide sidewalk. New internal street system: This street section shall be in a minimum 42-foot width right-of-way. Additional right-of-way is also required at all the intersections and turns in the roadway configuration. These radius dedications shall be for a 15-foot radius. The pavement width can be reduced to 26 feet in width, allowing for parking on one side of the street. Both sides of the street shall be improved with curb and gutter. A sidewalk is not required on the southerly side of the new street. The face of the curb shall be installed three feet (3') from the southerly edge of the right-of-way. A five-foot (5') wide sidewalk shall be provided along the northerly and "outside" portion of the new internal street, with an Mr. Turn Redding Wilson Park Preliminary Plat Page 3 of 3 eight -foot (S') planting strip. The planting strip is to be landscaped, including street trees. Street lighting meeting code with required lighting levels shall be provided on the new internal street system. Street extension to north property line: A public street is required in the approximate location of proposed Lot S. This street shall include a minimum of 42 feet in right-of-way. The street improvements for this extension shall include 26 feet of pavement, and curb and gutter along both sides of the street. Sidewalks are required along both sides of this street section, both five feet (5') in width. The sidewalk on the east side of the street can be constructed adjacent to the new curb. The west side of the street shall include a five-foot (5') planting strip landscaped with street trees. Easterly off -site access roadway between S. 55"' St and the development site: This street section is initially to be used for secondary emergency access through a private roadway easement. The pavement shall be a minimum of 20 feet in width through this roadway section. An emergency access gate, approved by the Renton Fire Department, can be installed where this roadway enters the new plat. if this private easement is replaced in the future with dedicated public right-of-way, the emergency access gate shall be removed. A note to this effect is to be included on the final plat. You have 14 days from the date of this letter to appeal the administrative determination in accordance with City code. Appeals are to be filed in writing, with the City Clerk, and require a filing fee in the amount of $250.00. Appeals must be filed with the City Clerk before Tuesday, November 24, 2009, at 5:00 P.M.

Wilson Park Dear Jerry: City of Fenton Plannirig i1visi;Jn Ni 'i fR1��C�Ll V �0 Per your request, we are submitting five sets of revised plans for the Wilson Park Subdivision. The biggest concern that we addressed was the grading on Lots 4 through 8. Those are going to be difficult lots and our intent was to leave the final grading on the lots to a builder. We did not intend to create non -conforming lots (slopes over 40%) that would require a variance, so we revised the grading plan. Following are changes that were made to the plans. • Revised grading on Lots 4 through 8. • Revised Lot 13 to 10,000 sq ft. • Added wall sections • Added wall profiles. These changes were made to the 13 lot layout that was submitted with the application. They do not reflect the conditions imposed by the denial of the variance request. As we discussed, if the variance request is appealed and if the appeal is denied, then there is not enough net area remaining for 13 lots. Twelve is all that is attainable. Enclosed with this submittal are live copies of a revised site plan and density calculations that would satisfy the conditions outlined in the variance denial.

The Information contained in this summary is subject to modification and/or concurrence by official decision -makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Planning Director, Development Services Director, Department of Community and Economic Development Administrator, Public Works Administrator and City Council). nle FIRE & EMERGENCY SERVICES DEPARTMENT 4M E M a R A N D U M DATE: February 24, 2009 T0: Rick Moreno, Plan Reviewer FROM: David Pargas, Assistant Fire Marshal, Community Risk Reduction SUBJECT: PRE-APP 09-012 Wilson Park Project A review of the plans and material regarding the Vasquez Short Plat has been conducted and completed, Please review the Renton Fire & Emergency Services Fire Code and policy comments and concerns. 1. FIRE FLOW: Structures up to 3,600 square feet (including garage and basement areas) shall require a minimum fire flow of 1,000 gallons per minute for two hours. Structures in excess of 3,600 square feet shall meet a minimum fire flow of 1,500 gallons per minute for two hours, A water availability certificate shall be required. 2. REQUIRED HYDRANTS: As in accordance with Renton Fire & Emergency Services Department standards, one (1) hydrant shall be required for structures up to 3,600 square feet and requiring a minimum fire flow of 1,000 gallons per minute. For structures over 3,600 square feet and requiring a minimum fire flow of 1,500 gallons per minute or more shall require a minimum of two (2) hydrants. The number of hydrants shall also be based on spacing, which shall be in accordance with sound engineering practices. All hydrants servicing the Wilson Park project shall be equipped with five inch Storz fittings on the i-nain ports. 3. 1IYDRANT SPACING: Residential spacing requires hydrants to be located no greater than 300 feet to the front of any structure. In this case, the existing hydrants are located much greater than the 300 feet to the existing structures. Therefore, a minimum of two (2) new hydrants shall be required in order for the Wilson Park project to meet the 300 foot spacing. 4. FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS: The minimum fire apparatus road access shall be no less than 20 feet wide and on a surface capable of sustaining the weight of a fire apparatus. The turning radius shall be 45 feet to the outside and 25 feet to the inside. Rick Moreno, flan Reviewer February 24, 2009 Page 2 of 3 At this time, I am concerned about the minimum 20 foot access off of South 192"d as a private access. Private accesses are difficult to regulate and to prevent parking in fire apparatus access roadways that are 20 to 28 feet wide. If this access cannot be designed as a public street, there are some possible options that could be considered, but would need to be reviewed and approved by the Fire Marshal. The options I am proposing as a possibility to mitigate the access issues are as follows; A) The uted access would require it to be the t e o erated o a radio ret uency and known as a Click To Enters stein. B) The 20 Loot road access would require to be marked on both sides of the road as "NO PARKING ATANY TIME ". The si ra e would need to be provided by the developer and Gnaintained by the Home Owners Association. Q All of the pYidential are sprinkler system.- The fire sprinkler systems would not aide in mitt gating the Steep grade issue. 5. FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS — GRADE: It appears that the access into the Wilson Park neighborhood may be greater than a 15 percent grade. It is important to note that we strongly require the grade to be no greater than 15 percent for Renton Fire & Emergency Services to recommend a project. Using fire sprinkler systems to mitigate an access to allow for it to be greater than 15 percent is not an option. 6. FIRE SPRINKLER: Residential fire sprinklers are not applicable to this project unless used as an option to mitigate insufficient fire flow or an access issue other than grade. 7. FIRE MITIGATION FEES: Fire mitigation fees shall be $488.00 per unit and shall be paid prior to final plat recording. Credit would be given for the one home that has been dedicated to be removed. RECOMMENDATION: LADDER/AERIAL ACCESS: Ladder access for a 35 foot ground ladder set at a 70 degree angle shall be provided on all four sides of any structure two stories or greater in height.

Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. We have completed a preliminary review for the above -referenced development proposal. The following comments are based on the pre -application submittal made to the City of Renton by the applicant. WATER 1. This site is within the Renton service area. However, due to elevation of the site, Renton cannot provide sufficient sustainable water pressure. It is recommended that the owner receive a certificate of water availability through Soos Creek Water District. The City will be able to release the service area upon evidence that Soos Creek can service this parcel. This certificate will be submitted to the City prior to release of service area. `TRANSPORTATION 1. Street improvements are required including, but not limited to paving, sidewalks, curb and gutter, storm drainage, street lighting and landscaping along street frontage. 2. Traffic mitigation fees of $75 per additional daily trip shall be assessed per single family home at a rate of 9.57 trips per day. 3. All wire utilities shall be installed underground per City of Renton Ordinance. 4. A dedication of roadway to adjacent northern property is required prior to recording. It appears that Tract A is set up for this application. (See Storm Utility issues). 5. A Traffic study, including site distance evaluation shall be required for roadway access to S 192"d St. 6. The proposed 32 ft. right-of-way with curb, gutter and sidewalk on one side does not meet current code. An approved variance is required with this proposal. PRE o9-012 PRComments.dac 7. Dedicated right-of-way, meeting City of Renton Street Standards including curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements fronting all lots shall be required prior to recording. Current proposal is not acceptable for lots 6 through 9. 8. Maximum road slopes shall be 15% in all cases. Maximum angle of approach is 8 degrees and maximum angle of departure is 10 degrees. 9. Secondary access roadways are sometimes required as specified by the Fire Marshall. Secondary access roadways are also required by the City of Renton Street Standards (Title 4, Chapter 6, Section 60G). if streets are over 500 feet, but not over 700 ft. long, dwellings shall either provide a secondary access road or provide an approved residential fire sprinkler system shall be installed. If streets are over 700 ft., a secondary access road is required. Any proposed access -gating system requires approval from the Renton Fire Department. 10. Sidewalk, curb and gutter shall abut S 192'd St with radius curb per City of Renton standards. SANITARY SEWER l . This site is within the City of Renton Sewer area. The owner shall extend an S- inch sanitary sewer main within the proposed right -of way from S 55th St. and extend to the frontage of each proposed lot. A 15-foot utility easement shall be required to extend to the easterly boundary of lot 6, or lot 9. 2. All system development fees shall apply based on the size of the water meter services. SURFACE WATRER 1. The project is required to do a drainage analysis and meet the design criteria in accordance with the 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual with conservation flow control criteria or current city standard. The 2005 KCSWDM criteria may be required subject to submitted calculations by the engineer. 2, The Surface Water System Development Charge (SDC) is $1,012 per new single- family residence. This is payable at the time the utility constriction permit is issued. 3. if the proposed Tract A is dedicated for detention, and a right-of-way dedication is used to connect to the northern lot, traffic bearing lid(s) will be required to any proposed storm vault. GENERAL COMMENTS l . All utility and street improvements will require separate plan submittals prepared according to City of Renton drafting standards by a licensed Civil Engineer. 2. if fire sprinkler systems are necessary, then a separate fire sprinkler permit will be required. 3. Permit application must include an itemized cost of construction estimate for these improvements, 4. The fee for review and inspection of these improvements is 6% of the first $150,000 of the estimated construction costs 5% of anything over $150,000 but less than $300,000, and 4% of anything over $300,000. Half the fee must be paid upon application. PRE 09-012 PRComments.doc CITY OF RENTON Planning/Building/Public Works MEMORANDUM DATE: February 26, 2009 TO: Pre -Application File No. 09-012 FROM: Gerald Wasser, Associate Planner, (425) 430-7382 SUBJECT: Wilson Park General: We have completed a preliminary review of the pre -application for the above -referenced development proposal. The following comments on development and permitting issues are .based on the pre -application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant and the codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official decision -makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Planning Director, Public Works Administrator, Development Services Director and City Council). Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. The applicant is encouraged to review all applicable sections of the Renton Municipal Code, The Development Regulations are available for purchase for $50.00 plus tax, from the Finance Division on the first floor of City Hall. Project Proposal: The subject property is located north of S. 551h St. and east of Talbot Rd. S. at 720 S. 55`h St. The proposal is to subdivide a 108,884 sq. ft. (2.5 acre) parcel into 16 lots and one tract, for future development of detached single-family houses. There is one existing home on the parcel, which would be removed. The site has three different zoning designations, R-1, R-8, and R- 14, and the applicant is proposing a zone change to R-8 for the entire site. The proposed lots range from approximately 4,500 sq, ft. to 6,243 sq, ft. in size. The preliminary plat would be accessed via a 50 ft. wide access easement running from S. 551h St, over a neighboring parcel to the south. Secondary access would be provided via a 30 ft. ingress, egress, & utility easement over a neighboring property to the south. The site contains protected slopes and a number of significant trees. 7-oning/Density Requirements: The subject property encompasses three different zoning designations. Staff estimates that approximately 75,300 sq, ft. (1.73 ac) are zoned R-8, 31,200 sq. tt. (0.72 ac) are zoned R-1, and 2,384 sq, ft. (0.06 ac) are zoned R-14_ These are only approximations. Density is calculated by first subtracting the area of any access easements and critical areas from the gross site acreage, and then dividing the number of units by the net acreage. The applicant did not submit a density worksheet for the proposal, Based on the breakdown of how much land is located in each zoning designation, staff has estimated that up to 13 units could be built on the R-8 portion of the lot, no units could be built on the 0.72 acre portion in the R-1, and no units could be built on the R-14 portion of the lot. The R-8 zone permits a minimum of 4.0 units per acre and a maximum of 8.0 units per acre_ The applicant's submittal is predicated on a rezone of the R-1 and R-14 portions of the site to R-8 zoning. Note: While the applicant may request a rezone to R-8, staff is not supportive of this change of zone. The R-1 zone was applied in this ,general area to aid in the protection of critical areas. The R-1 zone designation on this property is part of a larger continuous area which includes wetlands, sfeep slopes, landslide areas, and coal mine areas. This rezone would also require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Residential Low Density (RLD) to Residential Single Family (RSF}. Development Standards: Because the only developable part of the lot is the R-8 portion, unless a rezone and Comprehensive Plan Amendment are approved, staff has only reviewed compliance with the development standards for that part of the site. Wilson Park Pre -Application Meeting February 26, 2009 Page 2 of 3 The R-8 zone permits one residential unit per lot. Detached accessory structures are permitted at a maximum number of two per lot at 720 square feet each, or one per lot at 1,000 square feet in size. No accessory structures are allowed on lots without a primary structure. Minimum Lot Size Width and Depth — The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 zone is 4,500 square feet for tots greater than 1 acre in size and 5,000 square feet for lots 1 acre or less in size. A minimum lot width of 50 feet for interior tots and 60 feet for corner lots, as well as a minimum lot depth of 65 feet, is also required. The total area of the proposed subdivision is greater than 1 acre, so the minimum lot size is 4,500 square feet. All of the proposed lots in the R-8 portion of the site would far exceed this minimum. Note: Since this may be a Hillside Subdivision, lots may be required to be larger than the minimums prescribed in the zone. Building Standards — The R-8 zone allows a maximum building coverage of 35% of the lot area or 2,500 square feet, whichever is greater for lots over 5,000 square feet in size. Buiiding height is restricted to 30 feet and 2-stories. Detached accessory structures must be below a height of 15 feet and one-story. The gross floor area must be less than that of the primary structure. Accessory structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations. Given the proposed lot configuration, it appears that building standards could be satisfied_ Setbacks — Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the property line or private access easement. The required setbacks in the R-8 zone are 15 feet in front for the primary structure and 20 feet in front for the attached garage, 20 feet in the rear, 5 feet for interior side yards, and 15 feet for side yards along streets (including access easements) for the primary structure and 20 feet for side yards along streets (including access easements) for attached garages. Given the proposed lot configuration, it appears that setbacks could be satisfied. Access/Parking: The site has no street frontage, but has existing access easements to South 55tE' Street and SE 192"d Street. The applicant is proposing to access the project via 50-foot road and utility easement. Road A would have to be a dedicated public right-of-way. Secondary access is proposed via a 30-foot ingress, egress, and utility easement. Additionally, the City would require that the extension of Road A at proposed Lots 8, 9 and 10 be developed to the same standards as the rest of Road A (including width, sidewalk, curb and gutter) to the northern property line. Subdivisions with five or more internal lots must provide a public road to serve the new homes. Curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements would be required. Public tights -of -way must be a minimum of 42 ft. wide. Reductions in public right -of width and street improvements would require a street modification. Sidewalks on both sides of the street within the plat and on one side of the southwest access from South 551" Street would be required. Each lot must allow for the parking of two vehicles on the property Landscaping: The applicant would be required to plant at least two trees of a City approved species with a minimum caliper of 1 112 inches in the front yard or planting strip of each lot of the short plat and a 5-foot strip along the new right-of-way. The trees and landscaping trust be planted prior to final inspection of the new homes. In addition, the stormwater pond must also be landscaped. Critical Areas: The site contains two small areas of protected steep slopes. There is also an area of high landslide hazard on the parcel. A geotechnical report will be required at the time of submittal for a preliminary plat which should Include recommendations by the geotechnical engineer on location and footings of future homes on the site. Due to the fact that there are known wetlands in the area, a wetlands study must also be submitted. The wetlands study must be conducted according to the City of Renton Critical Areas regulations, a copy of which is included in the packet of information given to the applicant at the pre -application meeting. Secondary review of the wetlands study, at the applicant's expense, may be required. If wetlands are found, appropriate buffers and Natural Growth Protection Easements must be established. Hillside Subdivisions: Hillside Subdivisions are subdivisions in which the average slope is 20% or in which any street in the subdivision has grades greater than 15% at any point. RMC 4-7-220 PRF-09.012 Wilsun Park PP (R-$, 16-lot, access,new street, slopes).doc Wilson Park Pre -Application Meeting February 26, 2009 Page 3of3 establishes the regulations for Hillside Subdivisions including application requirements, grading information, street requirements, lot size and erosion control requirements. Significant Tree Retention: A tree inventory and a tree retention plan shall be provided with the formal land use application. The tree retention plan must show preservation of at least 30% of significant trees (6-inches and greater). A tree retention worksheet will also be required at the time of formal application. The submitted tree plan must indicate how proposed building footprints will be sited to accommodate preservation of significant trees that will be retained. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The R-8 portion of the site is located within the Residential Single Family (RSF) Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation. The following proposed policy is applicable to the proposal: Land Use Element Policy LU-158. Net development densities should fall within a range of 4.0 to 8.0 dwelling units per acre in Residential Single Family neighborhoods. Permit Requirements: Because staff is not supportive of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment and rezone, the applicant may wish to redesign the project utilizing the R-8 portion of the site only for residential lots. A redesign of the project would affect permit requirements. The following permit fees assume that a rezone will not be pursued by the applicant. To subdivide the parcel, the applicant must make formal submittal for Hearing Examiner Preliminary Plat Review. A submittal checklist, listing the items that must be included in the submittal packet to the City, is included in the packet of information given the applicant at the pre - application meeting. The applicant will be required to install a public information sign on the property and the City will send out information on the plat to neighboring property owners. There is a $2,000.00 fee for preliminary plat review. The plat will also require Environmental Review with an additional fee of $500.00, The time frame for processing the environmental review and preliminary plat is approximately 12 weeks to the end of the appeal period. Once approval is received, the applicant must complete any required improvements, such as sewer and water stubs, surface water management facilities, fire hydrant and grading. A separate utilities construction permit is required for these improvements. The applicant must also satisfy any conditions of the preliminary approval from the Hearing Examiner before the plat can be recorded. The newly created lots may be sold only after the plat has been recorded. The applicant may submit for building permit review for the new houses before the plat is recorded, but the City can only issue the building permits when the plat has been recorded. A demolition permit would be required for the demolition of the existing house on the subject property. Fees: In addition to the fees for review of the land -use, construction and building permits, the following mitigation fees would be required prior to recording of the short plat. • A Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per new single family residence; • A Transportation Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each new average daily trip attributable to the project; and, • A Fire Mitigation Fee based on $488.00 per new single-family residence. A handout listing all of the City's Development related fees in attached for your review. Expiration: Upon preliminary plat approval, the preliminary plat approval is valid for 5 years with a possible one-year extension. cc: Jennifer Henning ?R.E09-012 Wilson Park PP (R-8, 16-lot, access,new street, slopes}.doc ttJ - Jil t nDrl V, t!G w ,; Ih �8 R-id 95 � c - c .

The proposed road providing access for the project comprises of an offsite roadway between South 92"d Street and the site, together with the onsite portion of the access road. To be able to provide the minimum lot widths/areas and required open space, we request that the following road sections be allowed (see attached plan and sections): Offsite Reduced -width 28' of paving with curb and sidewalk on one side (5' sidewalk width including 0.5' top of curb, and paving crown at 16' from curb) to be constructed within an existing 50' Road and Utility easement, to be dedicated to the City prior to recording the plat. The missing 4' of paving and curb/sidewalk would be constructed when the offsite property develops. Onsite Full -width 32' of paving with curb and sidewalk on one side (5' sidewalk width including 0.5' top of curb) be constructed within a 37.5' right-of-way be dedicated to the City with the recording the plat. The proposed roadway would extend about 800' onto the site from South 92"d Street where it would terminate with a "Click to Enter" equipped emergency access vehicle gate. A 20' paved emergency access road would loop back to South 92'" Street from the gate. No portion of road would have a grade of greater than 15%.

An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS: Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). For nonproject actions (actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs), the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively.

No wetlands or streams were identified on or immediately adjacent to the property or the new access easement during the reconnaissance. The south-central portion of the subject property is currently developed with an existing single-family residence and associated maintained lawn area. The remainder of the property consists of a mostly coniferous forest that generally slopes moderately down from east to west. Vegetation on the site included western red cedar (Thuja plicata), Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesh), big -leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), hazelnut (Corylus comuta), Indian plum (Oemleda cerasiformis), snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus), tall Oregongrape (Mahonia aquifolium), Himalayan blackberry (Rubes discolor), trailing blackberry (Rubes ursinus), sword fern (Polystichum munitum), and English ivy (Hedera helix). The plant community within the undeveloped new access easement consisted of a mix of trees and brush including black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa), big -leaf maple, Himalayan blackberry, snowberry, sword fern, and English ivy. No hydrophytic plant communities were observed on the site. Borings taken throughout the property revealed high chroma non-hydric soils and there was no observation or evidence of prolonged soil saturation.

SCOPE OF SERVICES Our scope of services for this study comprises specifically the following: 1 Review the geologic and soil conditions at the site based on a published geologic map. 2. Explore the site for subsurface conditions with backhoe test pits to a firm bearing soil stratum or to the maximum depth (about 12 feet) capable by the backhoe used in excavating the test pits, whichever occurs first. 3. Perform necessary geotechnical analyses and provide geotechnical recommendations for grading, slope stabilization, erosion mitigation, surface and ground water drainage control, design and construction for building foundations and stormwater detention vault, etc., based on subsurface conditions encountered in the test pits and results of our geotechnical analyses. 4. Prepare a written report to present our findings, conclusions, and recommendations for the proposed development of the subject plat site. SURFACE CONDITIONS SITE CONDITIONS LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9A006 Page 3 The subject site is situated on a broad, moderate to steep, westerly -declining hillside. It is backed into undeveloped wooded lands to the north and east, and adjoined by a single-family residence and undeveloped land to the south and a subdivision to the west. The site generally slopes down westerly at grades from 13 to 3.9 percent. The higher, grWnt portions of the site generally lie within the eastern 100 to 120 feet and the western 150 to 200 feet of the site, while the more moderate area lies in about the middle third of the site where the building pad and the yard of an existing residence are located. The existing residence is accessed from South 55`h Street via a long gravel driveway. The unpaved area around the existing house is covered with lawn grass. The 1. g6er:gradient eastern and western areas of the site is dotted with tall, mature evergreen trees with few mature deciduous trees mixed in between. The eastern steeper area is covered with thick brush, while the western steeper area is covered by sporadic brush and dense ivy. GEOLOGIC SETTING The Geologic Map of the Lake Stevens Quadrangle, Snohomish County, Washington, by James P. Minard, published by U. S. Geological Survey in 1985, was referenced for the geologic and soil conditions of the subject site. According to this publication, the surficial soil units at and in the vicinity of the site are mapped as Kame Terrace (Qit) deposits underlain by Ground Moraine (Qgt)• The geology of the Puget Sound Lowland has been modified by the advance and retreat of several glaciers in the past and subsequent deposits and erosion. The latest glacier advanced to the Puget Sound Lowland is referred to as the Vashon Stade of the Fraser Glaciation, which has occurred during the later stages of the Pleistocene Epoch and retreated from the region some 14,500 years ago. LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9AO06 Page 4 The Kame terrace deposits were laid down by ice -marginal streams flowing between higher ground on one side and an ice margin on the other side during the last glaciation. They consist mostly of silty sand and gravel to cobble. The Kame terrace deposits also contain lenses and pods of till and beds of sand, silt and clay locally. The Kame terrace deposits are of moderately - high to high permeability and can provide good foundation support to structures in their native undisturbed state. The ground moraine soil unit, underlying the Kame deposits, is composed of a thin layer of ablation till over lodgmont till sediments, deposited by Puget glacial lobe of the Vashon Stade of the Fraser Glaciation. The lodgmont till is generally a compact mixture of unsorted clay, silt, sand, gravel and cobble, commonly referred to as "hard pan". The ablation till is similar to lodgmont till, but is much less compact and coherent. The thickness generally varies from 2 to 4 feet for the ablation till deposit, and 5 to 30 feet for the lodgmont till deposit. The lodgmont till deposit is practically impervious, except local lenses of sand and gravel. it has a compressive strength comparable to that of low-grade concrete and can stand in steep natural or cut slopes for a long period. The lodgmont till can provide excellent foundation support with little settlement expected to structures. The overlying ablation till is generally in a loose to medium -dense state, and is more compressible and permeable. SOIL CONDITIONS Subsurface conditions of the site were explored with seven test pits excavated within the site. These test pits were excavated on February 4, 2009, with a tract -mounted backhoe to depths from 6.5 to 9.5 feet. The approximate locations of the test pits are shown on Plate 2 - Site and Exploration Location Plan. The test pits were located with either a tape measure or by visual reference to existing topographic features in the field and on the topographic survey map, and their locations should be considered only accurate to the measuring method used. LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9AO06 Page 5 A geotechnical engineer from our office was present during subsurface exploration, who examined the soil and geologic conditions encountered and completed logs of test pits. Soil samples obtained from each soil unit in the test pits were visually classified in general accordance with United Soil Classification System, a copy of which is presented on Plate 3. Detailed descriptions of soils encountered during site exploration are presented in test pit logs on Plates 4 through 7. The test pits encountered a layer of loose, organic topsoil, from about 10 to 24 inches thick, mantling the site. In Test Pits 1 and 2, located in the eastern high ground area, the layer of topsoil was found underlain by a layer of ablation till of brown, medium -dense, silty, fine to medium sand with a trace of gravel, from 2.3 to 3.5 feet thick. This ablation till is underlain to the depths explored by a lodgmont till deposit of brown to brown -gray, dense, silty fine sand, with some gravel and occasional cobble. Test Pits 3 and 4, located at the downhill fringe of the moderately -sloped middle section of the site, encountered a Kame terrace deposit underlying the topsoil. The top 1.7 to 2.0 feet of this Kame terrace deposit is weathered to a loose to medium -dense state and is composed of brown, fine to medium sand, locally with some silt and/or gravel. The fresh Kane terrace deposit underneath is medium -dense to dense, and is composed of brown -gray to light -gray, fine to medium sand with a trace of gravel. This clean sandy deposit should be of high permeability. Test Pits 5, 6 and 7. Located near at the west end of the site, encountered a weathered and/or fresh Kame terrace deposit, up to about 9.1 feet thick, underlying the topsoil. The Kame terrace deposits were found underlain by a lodgmont till deposit in Test Pits 5 and 7 at a depth of 5.0 and 9.0 feet, respectively. GROUNDWATER CONDITION LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9AO06 Page b Groundwater seepage was not encountered by any of the seven test pits excavated on the subject plat site. The topsoil, ablation till, and weathered and fresh Kame terrace deposits are loose to medium -dense, and would allow some storm runoff to seep into the ground. The underlying dense to weakly -cemented lodgmont till deposit is of extremely low permeability and would perch stormwater infiltrating into the more permeable surficial soils. The amount of and the depth to this perched groundwater would fluctuate seasonally, depending on precipitation, surface runoff, ground vegetation cover, site utilization, and other factors. The perched groundwater may dry up completely during the dryer summer months and accumulate and rise in the wet winter months. The test pits excavated in the heart of winter did not encountered any groundwater. Therefore, it is our opinion that any groundwater encountered under the subject plat site during construction should be minimal and minor even in the winter months of the year. DISCUSSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS GENERAL Based on the soil conditions encountered by the test pits excavated on the site, it is our opinion that the site is suitable for the proposed development from the geotechnical engineering viewpoint, provided that the recommendations in this report are fully implemented and observed during construction. Due to moisture -sensitive fine-grained soils mantling the site and the local higher gradient areas within the site, we recommend that grading and foundation construction work for the proposed development be carried out and completed during the dryer period from April 1 through October 31. If grading work has to proceed beyond the above dryer period, the measures for slope stabilization, erosion mitigation, and surface and ground water drainage control recommended in this report should be in place and operational on a daily basis during construction. Surficial unsuitable soils, including topsoil and loose to medium -dense weathered soils mantling the site, should be stripped down to the medium -dense to dense, fresh Kame terrace and/or lodgmont tall soils within the building pads of the lots and the roadways. The underlying fresh LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9AO06 Page 7 Kame terrace and/or lodgmont till soils are of high to moderately -high to high strength and are capable of providing adequate foundation support to the proposed residential buildings, roadways and stormwater detention vault. Conventional footing foundations constructed on or into the above competent basal soils may be used to support the proposed residential building and stormwater detention vault. Structural fill, if required for site grading, should be placed on proof -rolled, underlying undisturbed, competent basal soils following the stripping of the surficial unsuitable soils. GEOLOGIC HAZARDS AND REMEDIATIN Landslide Hazard The medium -dense to dense, fresh Kame terrace and lodgmont till soils underlying the site at shallow depth are of moderately -high to high shear strength and have good to excellent resistance against slope failures. Therefore, it is our opinion that the potential for deep-seated landslides to occur on the site should be minimal, provided the recommendations in this report are fully F implemented and complied with during construction. Erosion Hazard The topsoil and loose to medium -dense weathered soils are of low resistance against erosion. Erosion may occur in the weaker surficial soils over the higher gradient areas of the site if they are devoid of vegetation cover and overly saturated. Progressive erosion can lead to shallow, skin -type mudflows in the highex, gradient areas of the site. To mitigate such erosion hazard, vegetation outside of construction limits should be preserved and maintained. Unpaved exposed ground within the site resulted from construction activities should be re -seeded and re -vegetated as soon as possible. Concentrated stormwater should not be discharged uncontrolled onto the ground within the site. Stormwater over impervious surfaces, such as roofs and paved roadways and driveways, should be captured by underground drain line systems connected to roof downspouts or by catch basins installed in paved roadways and driveways. Water collected by these drain line systems should be tightlined to discharge into a storm sewer or a suitable LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9AO06 Page 8 stormwater disposal facility. Areas devoid of vegetation cover should be re -seeded and re - vegetated as soon as possible, and should be covered with clear plastic sheets until the vegetation is fully established. Seismic Hazard and Design. Consideration The Puget Sound region is in an active seismic zone. The subject site is underlain at shallow depth by medium -dense to dense, fresh Kame terrace and lodgmont till soils of moderately -high to high shear strength. There is a lack of continuous, extensive, static groundwater table at shallow depth under the site. The combination of the above makes it rather unlikely for seismic hazards, such as landslides, liquefaction or soil lateral spreading, to occur on the site during strong earthquakes. Therefore, the seismic hazard of the site should be minimal. The residential buildings to be constructed on the site, however, should be designed to withstand seismic forces induced by strong earthquakes. Based on the soil conditions encountered by the test pits, it is our opinion that Seismic Use Group I and Site Class D should be used in the seismic design of the proposed residential buildings in accordance with the 2006 International Building Code (IBC). SITE PREPARATION AND GENERAL GRADING Vegetation within construction limits should be cleared and grubbed. Loose surficial soils, including topsoil and loose weathered soils, should be completely stripped down to the medium - dense to dense, fresh Kame terrace and/or lodgmont till soils within the building pads of the proposed residential buildings and roadways. The exposed soils should be compacted to a non - yielding state with a vibratory compactor and proof -rolled with a piece of heavy carthwork equipment. TEMPORARY EROSION CONTROL The onsite surficial soils contain a high percentage of fines, and are sensitive to moisture and can be disturbed easily by construction traffic when saturated. A layer of clean, 2-to-4-inch, quarry LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9AO06 Page 9 spalls should be placed over excavated areas and areas of frequent traffic, such as the entrance to the site, as required, to protect the subgrade soils from disturbance by construction traffic. Silt fences should be installed along the downhill sides of construction areas to prevent sediment from being transported onto adjoining properties or streets by storm runoff. The bottom edge of silt fences should be folded inward and ballasted with onsite soils. Ditches or interceptor trench drains should be installed on the uphill sides of construction areas, as required, to intercept and drain away storm runoff and near -surface groundwater seepage. Water captured by such ditches or interceptor trench drains should be discharged into onsite detention/settling ponds or nearby storm inlets. The storm inlets, if into which stormwater is to be to be discharged, should be covered with a filter sock to prevent sediment from entering the storm sewer system. The filter socks should be cleaned frequently during construction to prevent clogging, and should be removed after completion of construction. EXCAVATION AND FILL SLOPES Under no circumstance should excavation slopes be steeper than the limits specified by local, state and federal safety regulations if workers have to perform construction work in excavated areas. Unsupported temporary cuts greater than 4 feet in height should be no steeper than 1 H:1 V in topsoil, loose to medium -dense weathered Kame terrace and ablation till soils, no steeper than 3/4H:1 V in medium -dense to dense Kame terrace deposits and may be vertical in lodgment till soils if the overall depth of excavation is no more than 15 feet. Otherwise, temporary cut in lodgment till should be no steeper than 1/2H:1V. Unsupported permanent cuts should be no steeper than 2H:1 V in topsoil, loose to medium -dense weathered Kame terrace and ablation till soils, no steeper than 1-3/4H:1 V in medium -dense to dense Kame terrace deposits, and no steeper than 1-1/2H:1V in lodgment till soils. A 5-foot-wide level bench should be built into temporary or permanent cut slopes to keep the vertical rise between the benches no more than 15 feet. The soil units into which cut slopes and LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9A006 Page 10 the stability of the cut slopes are to be made should be verified by a geotechnical engineer during excavation. Permanent fill embankments required to support structural or traffic load should be constructed with compacted structural fill placed over undisturbed, proof -rolled, firm, native, fresh Kame terrace and/or lodgment till soils after the surficial unsuitable soils are completely stripped. Permanent fill to be placed over slopes steeper than 15 percent grade should be retained structurally. The exposed ground exceeding 15 percent grade should be benched with vertical steps not exceeding 4 feet tall after stripping of surficial unsuitable soils and prior to placing structural fill. The slope of permanent fill embankments should be no steeper than 2H:IV. Upon completion, the sloping face of permanent fill embankments should be thoroughly compacted to a non -yielding state with a hoe -pack. The above recommended cut and fill slopes are under the assumption that groundwater seepage would not be encountered during construction. if groundwater is encountered, the cut and fill earthwork should be immediately halted and the slope stability re-evaluated. The slopes may have to be flattened and other measures taken to stabilize the slopes. Stormwater should not allowed to flow uncontrolled over cut and fill slopes. Permanent cut slopes or fill embankments should be seeded and vegetated as soon as possible for erosion protection and long-term stability, and should be covered with clear plastic sheets, as required, to protect them from erosion until the vegetation is fully established. STRUCTURAL FILL Structural fill is the fill that supports structural or traffic load. Structural fill should consist of clean granular soils free of organic, debris and other deleterious substances and with particles not larger than three inches. Structural fill should have a moisture content within one percent of its optimum moisture content at the time of placement. The optimum moisture content is the water LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9AO06 Page I I content in the soils that enable the soils to be compacted to the highest dry density for a given compaction effort. Onsite clean silty sand to gravelly sand soils, meeting the above requirements, may be used as structural fill. Imported material to be used as structural fill should be clean, free -draining, granular soils containing no more than 5 percent by weight finer than the No. 200 sieve based on the fraction of the material passing No. 4 sieve, and should have individual particles not larger than three inches. The ground over which structural fill is to be placed should be prepared in accordance with recommendations in the SITE PREPARATION AND GENERAL GRADING and EXCAVATION AND FILL SLOPES sections of this report. Structural fill should be placed in lifts no more than 10 inches thick in its loose state, with each lift compacted to a minimum percentage of the maximum dry density determined by ASTM D 1557 (Modified Proctor Method) as follows: Application Within building pads and under foundations Roadway/driveway subgrade Retaining/foundation wall backfill Utility trench backfill % of Maximum Dry Density 95% 95% for top 3 feet and 90% below 92% 95% for top 4 feet and 90% below STORMWATER DETENTION VAULT An underground concrete detention vault, designed to. supplement infiltration systems, is to be constructed at the northwest corner of the site to store stormwater collected over impervious surfaces of the proposed development of the site. Two test pits (Test Pits 5 and b) were excavated within the footprint of the proposed vault, and these test pits encountered dense LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9A006 Page 12 lodgment till soils and/or medium -dense to dense fresh Kame terrace deposit at depths about 4.0 to 5.0 feet. The vault may be supported on footings founded on these competent basal soils. An allowable soil bearing pressure not exceeding 3,500 psf may be used for the design of the vault footing foundations. A drain line consisting of perforated, rigid PVC, drain pipe or slotted, corrugated ADS, drain pipe, at least 6 inches in diameter, should be installed at a few inches below bottom of the perimeter footings of the vault walls to intercept and drain away groundwater which may flow towards the vault. The drain line should have sufficient slope (0.5% minimum) to generate flow by gravity, and water collected in the drain line should be tightlined to discharge into a storm sewer or a suitable stormwater disposal facility. The vault footing drain line should be completely embedded in washed gravel wrapped in a layer of non -woven filter fabric, such as 140N by Mirafi Inc. or approved equal. A vertical drainage blanket at least 12 inches thick horizontally, consisting of clean 3/4 to 1-1/2-inch washed gravel or crushed rock, should be placed against the perimeter vault walls. The remaining backfill should be constructed of structural fill. Alternatively, a vertical drain mat, such as Miradrain 6000 by Mirafi Inc. or equivalent, may be placed against the perimeter vault walls as the vertical drainage blanket. The vertical drainage blanket or drain mat should be hydraulically connected to the drain line at the base of the vault perimeter walls. Sufficient number of cleanouts at strategic locations should be installed for periodical cleaning of the vault wall drain line to prevent clogging. The perimeter walls of the detention vault would also serve as retaining walls to support cut banks and backfill. The perimeter walls of the vault capped with a lid would be restrained at their top from horizontal movement and should be designed for at -rest lateral soil pressure. For the condition that groundwater behind the perimeter vault walls can be fully drained by the drain line provided at the base of the walls, we recominend an at -rest soil pressure of 50 pcf equivalent fluid density (EFD) be used for the design of vault perimeter walls. To counter the at -rest soil pressure, a passive lateral soil pressure of 375 pcf EFD may be used, except that the passive LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9AO06 Page 13 pressure within the top 12 inches of the finish subgrade should be ignored. The above passive pressure assumes the backslope of the walls is level or ascending away from the walls. The at - rest soil pressure may also be resisted by the friction force between the footings and the subgrade soils based on a coefficient of friction of 0.55. If the site grades are such that it is not feasible to completely drain groundwater behind the vault walls with a gravity drain line system, the hydrostatic pressure on the perimeter vault walls should also be taken into consideration for the design of the vault perimeter walls. For the condition that a perimeter drain line has to be placed higher than the footing level, the perimeter vault walls should be designed for a lateral soils pressure of 50 pcf EFD above the drain line level and a combined lateral soil and hydrostatic pressure of 80 pcf EFD below the drain line level. The above lateral pressures on the walls may be countered by a passive soil pressure of 375 pcf EFD above the drain line and 210 pcf EFD below. The detention vault should also be designed for seismic loading based on a 100-year seismic event. For seismic design of the detention vault walls, a pseudo static soil pressure diagram of inverted triangle from the finished ground level to the bottom of the foundations should be used. Based on the soil conditions in the detention vault area, we recommend the lateral soil pressure at the top of the triangle be 8H psf for a 100-year seismic event, where H is the height from finish grade over top of the vault to bottom of footings in feet. A one-third increase in the above recommended allowable soil bearing pressure may be used when considering the seismic loading condition. The above design parameters are unfactored ultimate values. Proper factors of safety should be applied for the design of the vault walls against sliding and overturning failures. PAVED ROADWAYS AND DRIVEWAYS LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9AO06 Page 14 Performance of roadway and driveway pavement is critically related to the conditions of the underlying subgrade soils. We recommend that the subgrade soils under the roadways/driveways be treated and prepared as described in the SITE PREPARATION AND GENERAL EARTHWORK section of this report. Prior to placing base material, the subgrade soils should be compacted to a non -yielding state with a vibratory roller compactor and proof. -rolled with a piece of heavy construction equipment, such as a fully -loaded dump truck. Any areas with excessive flexing or pumping should be over -excavated and re -compacted or replaced with structural fill or crushed rock placed and compacted in accordance with the recommendations provided in the STRUCTURAL FILL section of this report. We recommend that a layer of compacted, 7/8-inch crushed rock base (CRB), be placed for the roadways/driveways. This crushed rock base should be at least 6 inches for the public roadways and 4 inches for the private driveways. The crushed rock base should be overlain with a 3-inch asphalt treated base (ATB) topped by a 2-inch-thick Class B asphalt concrete (AC) surficial course for public roadways and overlain by a 3-inch-thick Class B asphalt concrete (AC) surficial course for the private driveways. BUILDING SETBACK The purpose of building setback from the top or toe or an overly steep portion of a slope is to establish a safe buffer such that if a slope failure should occur the stability of the structure can be maintained and damages to the structure minimized. In general, the greater the setback, the lower the risk for the structure to sustain damages from a slope failure. To maintain stability, the residential buildings to be constructed on the site should be sufficiently setback from the top or toe of slopes of 40% gradient or more. We recommend the buildings be set back at least 15 feet from top or toe of slopes with grades 40% or more. If footing foundations are used to support the new residences of future development, the footing foundations should be embedded at least one foot into the underlying, medium -dense to dense, LILT & ASSOCIATES, INC. l,ebruary 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9A006 Page 15 fresh Kame terrace or lodgment till soils. If the buildings are to be constructed on the slopes with grades 40% or more, the footing foundations should be extended downward to such elevation that the horizontal distance from the edge of footings to the face of slopes should be at least 15 feet, and that a plane drawn from the edge of footings to the toe of slopes of 40% or more gradient should be no steeper than 2.5H: IV. BUILDING FOUNDATIONS Conventional footing foundations may be used to support the residential buildings to be constructed on the site. The footing foundations should be placed on or into the underlying, medium -dense to dense, fresh Kame terrace or lodgmont soils, or on structural fill placed over these undisturbed competent basal soils. Water should not be allowed to accumulate in excavated footing trenches. Disturbed soils in footing trenches should be completely removed down to undisturbed, competent basal soils and the basal soils should be thoroughly compacted to a non -yielding state with a vibratory mechanical compactor prior to pouring concrete for the footings. If the above recommendations are followed, our recommended design criteria for footing foundations are as follows: • The allowable soil bearing pressure for design of footing foundations, including dead and live loads, should be no greater than 3,000 psf if constructed on or into native, undisturbed, competent basal soils, and no greater than 2,500 psf if constructed on structural fill placed over competent basal soils. The footing bearing soils should be verified by a geotechnical engineer after the footing trenches are excavated and before the footings poured. LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L.&A Job No. 9AO06 Page 16 • The minimum depth to bottom of perimeter footings below adjacent final exterior grade should be no less than 18 inches. The minimum depth to bottom of the interior footings below top of floor slab should be no less than 12 inches. • The minimum width should be no less than 16 inches for continuous footings, and no less than 24 inches for individual footings, except those footings supporting light -weight decks or porches. A one-third increase in the above recommended allowable soil bearing pressure may be used when considering short-term, transitory, wind or seismic loads. For footing foundations designed and constructed per recommendations above, we estimate that the maximum total post - construction settlement of the buildings should be 3/4 inch or less and the differential settlement across building width should be 1 /2 inch or less. Lateral loads on the proposed residential buildings may be resisted by the friction force between the foundations and the subgrade soils or the passive earth pressure acting on the below -grade portion of the foundations. For the latter, the foundations must be poured "neat" against undisturbed soils or backfilled with a clean, free -draining, compacted structural fill. We recommend that an equivalent fluid density (EFD) of 325 pef (pounds per cubic foot) for the passive earth pressure be used for lateral resistance. The above passive pressure assumes that the backfill is level or inclines upward away from the foundations for a horizontal distance at least 1.5 times the depth of the foundations below the final grade. A coefficient of friction of 0.55 between the foundations and the subgrade soils may be used. The above soil parameters are unfactored values, and a proper factor of safety should be used in calculating the resisting forces against lateral loads on the new garage. SLAB -ON -GRADE FLOORS Slab -on -grade floors, if used for the residential buildings to be constructed on the site, should be placed on firm subgrade soils prepared as outlined in the SITE PREPARATION AND LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9AO06 Page 17 GENERAL EARTHWORK and the STRUCTURAL FILL sections of this report. Where moisture control is critical, the slab -on -grade floors should be placed on a capillary break which is in turn placed on the compacted subgrade. The capillary break should consist of a minimum four -inch -thick layer of clean, free -draining, 7/8-inch crushed rock, containing no more than 5 percent by weight passing the No. 4 sieve. A vapor barrier, such as a 6-mil plastic membrane, may be placed over the capillary break, as required, to keep moisture from migrating upwards. BASEMENT AND CIP CONCRETE RETAINING WALLS Building basement walls would be required to support backfill. Cast -in -place concrete walls may be used to retain fill embankments along the west and part of the south boundaries of the site. Basement walls restrained horizontally at the top are considered unyielding and should be designed for a lateral soil pressure under the at -rest condition; while cast -in -place concrete retaining walls free to move at the top should be designed for active lateral soil pressure. We recommend that a lateral soil pressure of 55 pcf EFD be used for the design of basement walls restrained at the top; and 40 pcf EFD for retaining walls unrestrained at the top. These lateral soils pressures are applicable to walls with level backslope. With a backslope rising away from the walls, an additional pressure of 0.75 pcf per degree of angle of the backslope above horizontal should be added to the above pressures. To counter the active soil or at -rest pressure, a passive lateral soil pressure of 300 pcf EFD may be used, except that the passive pressure within the top 12 inches of the finish subgrade should be ignored. The above passive pressure is applicable to walls with level backslope. The above lateral soil pressures are under the assumption that groundwater behind the walls is fully drained. To resist against sliding, the friction force between the footings and the subgrade soils may be calculated based on a coefficient of friction of 0.55. The above soil parameters are ultimate values, and proper factors of safety should be used in the design of the basement and retaining walls against sliding and overturning failures. Basement walls or retaining walls may be supported on footing foundations seated on or into the underlying, medium -dense to dense, fresh Kame terrace or lodgment till soils, with an allowable soil bearing pressure not to exceed 3,000 psf. LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9AO06 Page 18 A drain line consisting of perforated, rigid PVC, drain pipe or slotted, corrugated ADS, drain pipe, at least 4 inches in diameter, should be installed at a few inches below bottom of basement or retaining walls to intercept and drain away groundwater flowing towards the walls. The drain lines should have sufficient slope (0.5 percent minimum) to generate flow by gravity, and water collected in the drain line should be tightlined to discharge into a storm sewer or a suitable stormwater disposal facility. The drain lines should be completely embedded in washed gravel wrapped in a layer of non -woven filter fabric, such as 140N by Mirafi Inc. or approved equal. A vertical drainage blanket at least 12 inches thick, consisting of clean, 3/4 to 1-1/2-inch, washed gravel or crushed rock, should be placed against the walls. Alternatively, a vertical drain mat, such as Miradrain 6000 by Mirafi Inc. or equivalent, may be placed against the walls as the vertical drainage blanket. The vertical drainage blanket or drain mat should be hydraulically connected to the drain lines at the base of the perimeter walls. ROCKERY WALLS General Rockery walls may be used to line the cut banks along the east boundary of the site. Rockery by nature is not an engineered retaining wall, such as a reinforced concrete wall. Although a rockery wall can provide some degree of retention capability, its main function is to serve as a protective facing to retard weathering and erosion process to the earth bank behind the rockery. To achieve a satisfactory rockery wall, the earth bank behind the wall must be stable by itself on a long-term basis. In addition, the rockery wall should be constructed in a proper way to assure long-term stability of the cut bank or fill embankment. The medium -dense to dense, fresh Kame terrace and/or lodgment till deposit underlying the site at shallow depth is of moderately -high to high shear strength. It is our opinion that cut banks in these soil deposits will be able to maintain long-term stability if lined by properly constructed rockery. Our design of rockery walls lining cut banks in these competent deposits is shown on Plate 8 attached hereto. LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9A006 Page 19 Rockery Material and Construction Rock material used for rockery construction should be hard, well -cemented, sound, durable and free of cracks, fissures, joints, air holes and other defects. Construction of rockery walls should be in compliance with the Standard Rockery Construction Guidelines published by the Association of the Rockery Contractors. Subgrade and Keyway Trench Preparation Construction of the rockery walls should start immediately following completion of cut banks and keyway trenches. The keyway trenches should be cut into medium -dense to dense, fresh Kame terrace and/or lodgment till soils capable of rendering an allowable bearing capacity of at least 3,000 psf. The keyway trenches should be at least 12 inches deep below the finish grade in front of the rockery wall and should be wide enough such that the heel of the keyway trenches would be at least 12 inches from the back of the base -course facial stones. Keyway trenches should be free of loose disturbed soils or standing water and the exposed soils at bottom of keyway trenches should be compacted to a non -yielding state with a vibratory mechanical compactor prior to rockery installation. Groundwater Drainage Control A drain line should be placed in the keyway trenches behind the base -course facial stones to collect and drain away groundwater flowing toward the rockery walls. The drain lines should consist of minimum 6-inch, perforated, rigid, PVC pipes, wrapped in a filter fabric sock. The bottom of the keyway trench and the drain line should have sufficient slope (0.5 percent minimum) to generate flow by gravity. Water collected in the drain lines should be tightlined to discharge into a storm sewer or a suitable stormwater disposal facility. Facial Stones Facial stones of the rockery walls should be as nearly rectangular as possible with the long dimension of the stones placed perpendicular to the wall alignment. Facial stones should be LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9AO06 Page 20 stacked tightly against one another to minimize voids between the stones. Excessive openings between the facial stones should be chinked with smaller rock from behind. The rockery walls should be constructed such that the facial stones of each successive course would be staggered over and firmly supported on stones of the previous course. Facial stones of the rockery walls should be tilted back at an inclination no steeper than 6V:1H. Drain Rock Course A drain rock course, consisting of 2-to-4-inch rock spalls, should be installed between the facial stones and the cut bank in lifts as each course of the facial stones is completed. The horizontal thickness of the drain rock course should be at least 12 inches. The purpose of the drain rock course is to retain soils in place while allowing groundwater to bleed out. PRECAST CONCRETE BLOCK WALLS General Precast concrete block walls may be used to support fill embankments to be constructed along the west and part of the south boundaries of the site. These walls may be constructed with commercially available precast concrete blocks, such as by Keystone, Lock Block or Redi Rock. Loose topsoil and loose to medium -dense weathered soils within the keyway trenches of the walls should be over -excavated down to medium -dense to dense, fresh Kame terrace and/or lodgment till soils. The block walls should be constructed with geogrid mesh reinforcement anchored to the block walls and embedded in the wall backfill. The wall should be founded on a minimum 4-inch layer, 7/8-inch crushed rock, leveling base, placed over firm undisturbed bearing soils capable of rendering an allowable bearing capacity of at least 3,000 psf. A vertical drainage blanket should be placed against the back of the concrete block facing and hydraulically connected to the drain lines at the base of the walls. The remaining wall backfill behind the vertical drainage blanket should consist of compacted structural fill consisting of clean granular soils. LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9A006 Page 21 Design Soil Parameters We recommend that the precast concrete block walls to be constructed to support fill embankments be designed for a fully drained condition in accordance with the following soil perimeters: Reinforced Retained Foundation Leveling Soils Soils Soils Rock Base Unit Weight, r, pcf 130 120 135 135 Angle of Internal Friction, 36 33 36 40 0, degrees Cohesion, c, psf 0 0 0 0 The block walls should be designed for a minimum factor of 1.5 against sliding failure and 1.7 against overturning failure under the static loading condition. The Puget Sound region is in an active seismic zone and the block walls should also be designed under the seismic loading condition for a 100-year seismic event. The peak ground acceleration is about 0.3g (g = gravity force) for such an event in the Puget Sound region. The block walls, however, are built with interlocking concrete blocks with relatively high flexibility, and the blocks do not move in unison during earthquakes. Therefore, for design of the block wall under the seismic loading condition, the ground acceleration may be reduced to 0.29. The block walls should designed for a factor of safety of at least 1.15 against sliding and overturning failures under the seismic loading condition. Heavy equipment or material storage should not be allowed within 10 feet of the block walls; otherwise, the walls should be designed for 250 psf of uniform load. Construction of Precast Concrete Black Walls Vegetation within construction limits of the block walls and its backfill should be cleared and roots thoroughly grubbed. Unsuitable surficial soils, such as topsoil and loose to medium -dense weathered sand soils within the block walls and backf ll footprint should be stripped down to the LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9A006 Page 22 medium -dense to dense, fresh Kame terrace and/or lodgment till soils. Over -excavation down to these competent nasal soils should be backfilled with structural fill. The keyway trench for the block walls should be cut into native, undisturbed, medium -dense to dense, fresh Kame terrace and/or lodgment till soils, capable of rendering an allowable bearing pressure of at least 3,000 psf. The soils exposed at bottom of the keyway trench should be compacted to a non -yielding state with a vibratory compactor. A minimum 4-inch layer of 7/8- inch-minus crushed rock leveling base, compacted to a non -yielding state, should be placed over firm subgrade soils supporting the block walls. The base -course blocks are to be placed on this crushed rock base with an embedment at least 10 inches below the adjacent finish grade in front of the block wall. The precast concrete blocks should be stacked tightly against one another. A minimum 6-inch perforated, rigid, PVC drain line fitted in a non -woven filter fabric sock should be laid in the keyway trenches behind the base -course blocks. The bottom of keyway trenches and the drain line should have sufficient slope (0.5 percent minimum) to generate flow by gravity. The drain pipes should be tightlined to discharge into a storm sewer or a suitable stormwater disposal facility. A minimum 10-inch-thick (horizontally) vertical drainage blanket, constructed of clean % to 1-1/2-inch washed gravel crushed rock, should be placed against the back of the block wall facing. The vertical drainage blankets should be hydraulically connected to the drain lines at the base behind the block walls. The wall backfill behind the vertical drainage blankets should consist of structural fill. The vertical drainage blanket and structural fill should be constructed in lifts after each course of blocks is completed. Each layer of geogrid mesh should be laid on level backfill surface, with one end securely anchored between two rows of concrete blocks, stretched tight, and the other end staked down prior to the placement of the next lift of wail backfill. Overlaps of geogrid mesh in the direction of the wall alignments should be at least 12 inches, overlaps in the direction perpendicular to the wall alignments should not be allowed. LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9AO06 Page 23 DRAINAGE CONTROL Onsite Stormwater Disposal The moderately -sloped mid -section and the low-lying western portion of the subject plat site are underlain by fresh Kame terrace deposit of clean, gravelly, fine to medium sand deposit and infiltration of stormwater into this soil stratum is feasible for the residential buildings to be constructed in these areas. The impervious lodgmont till deposit, however, was found underlying "Tract A", located at the northwest corner of the site, at a depth as less as 5 feet below the existing grade. Therefore, we do not recommend a concentrated infiltration facility in "Tract A" to dispose a large amount of stormwater into the ground. This is because the large amount of concentrated disposed stormwater in this tract may increase the potential of groundwater seepage downhill off the subject site where the lodgmont till may be exposed or near the ground surface. Increased groundwater seepage may elevate the possibility of erosion, sloughing and landlside. Appendix C Small Project Drainage Requirements, of the King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual, January 24, 2005, allows stormwater collected on 2,000 or more but not more than 10,000 square feet of impervious surfaces of small residential projects to be disposed onsite with infiltration or dispersion method. The "full infiltration" method specified in Section C.2.2 — Full Infiltration of the above design manual can be used on sites underlain by medium sand or coarse sand or gravel and cobble. The moderately -sloped mid -section and the low-lying western portion of the subject plat site are underlain by fresh Kame terrace deposit of clean gravelly, fine to medium sand deposit and are qualified for using Full Infiltration method to dispose stormwater for the residential buildings in these areas. According to the above design manual, infiltration trenches installed into clean gravelly sand soils should be designed to be at least 30 feet long for every 1000 s.f, of impervious surface served (with a 2-foot-wide trench). The length of infiltration trenches may be shortened proportionally with increased trench width. LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9AO06 Page 24 The infiltration trenches should be set back at least 10 feet from adjacent buildings and 5 feet from property lines. The schematic presentation of an infiltration trench with a single dispersion pipe to serve the residential buildings is shown on Plate 9. The infiltration trenches should be at least 24 inches wide. The bottom of infiltration trenches should be excavated at least 6 inches into the underlying clean, fresh, gravelly sand Kame terrace deposit. The side walls of the trenches should be lined with a layer of non -woven filter fabric. The trench is then filled with clean 3/4 to 1-1/2-inch washed gravel or crushed rock to within about 8 inches of the finish grade. The dispersion pipes should be constructed of 4-inch rigid or 6-inch flexible perforated PVC pipes and laid level in the gravel or crushed rock filled trenches at about 16 inches below the top of trenches. The top of the gravel or crushed rock fill should also be covered with the filter fabric liner. The remaining trench should then be filled with compacted on -site soils. Stormwater captured over impervious surfaces should be routed into a sediment control structure/oil-water separator structure before being released into the infiltration trenches. Building Footprint Excavation Building footprint excavation for the proposed residential buildings, if encountering groundwater seepage, should have the bottom of excavation sloped and ditches excavated along bases of the cut banks to direct collected groundwater into sump pits from which water can be pumped out. A layer of 2-inch crushed rock should be placed over footing bearing subgrade soils, as required, to protect the soils from disturbance by construction traffic. This crushed rock base should be built to a few inches above groundwater level, but not less than 6 inches thick. The crush rock base should be compacted in 12-inch lifts to a non -yielding state with a vibratory mechanical compactor. Runoff over Impervious Surfaces Storm runoff over impervious surfaces, such as roofs and paved roadways/driveways, should be collected by underground drain line systems connected to downspouts and by catch basins LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9A006 Page 25 installed in paved roadways/driveways. Stormwater thus collected should be tightlined to discharge into a storm sewer or suitable stormwater disposal facilities. Building Footing Drains A subdrain should be installed, around the perimeter footings of each of the residential buildings. The subdrains should consist of a 4-inch-minimum-diameter, perforated, rigid, drain pipe, laid a few inches below bottom of the perimeter footings of the buildings. The trenches and the drain lines should have a sufficient gradient (0.5% minimum) to generate flow by gravity. The drain lines should be wrapped in a non -woven filter fabric sock and completely enclosed in clean washed gravel. The remaining trenches may be backfilled with clean onsite soils. Water collected by the perimeter footing subdrain systems should be tightlined, separately from the roof and surface stormwater drain lines, to discharge into a storm sewer or suitable stormwater disposal facility. Surface Drainage Water should not be allowed to stand in any areas where footings, on -grade slabs, or pavement is to be constructed. Finish ground surface should be graded to direct surface runoff away from the residential buildings. We recommend the finish ground be sloped at a gradient of 3 percent minimum for a distance of at least 10 feet away from the buildings, except in the areas to be paved. Cleanouts Sufficient number of cleanouts at strategic locations should be provided for underground drain lines. The underground drain lines should be cleaned and maintained periodically to prevent clogging. LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. ' I # February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9AO06 Page 26 RISK EVALUATION STATEMENT The subject site is underlain at shallow depth by medium -dense to dense Kame terraec and/or lodgmont till soils. These soils are of moderately -high to high shear strength and groundwater was not eiucvunte ed by thetest pits ,excavated'on the side 2herefaze the ,site should be quite stable. The key to maintain site stability during and after completion of construction is to have proper and adequate erosion and drainage controls. It is our judgment that provided the recommendations in this report are fully implemented and observed during construction, the areas disturbed by construction will be stabilized and will not increase the potential for soil movement. In our opinion, the risk of damage to the proposed development and from the development to adjacent properties due to soil instability should be minimal. LIMITATIONS This report has been prepared for the specific application to this project for the exclusive use by Mr. Robed Wilson `ad ;his associates, consultants and contractors. We recommend that this report, in its entirety, be included in the project contract documents for the information of the prospective contractors for their estimating and bidding purposes and for compliance with the recommendations in this report during construction. The conclusions and interpretations in this report, however, should not be construed as a warranty of the subsurface conditions. The scope of this study does not include services related to construction safety precautions and our recommendations are not intended to direct the contractor's methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, except as specifically described in this report for design considerations. Our recommendations and conclusions are based on the geologic and soil conditions encountered in the test pits, and our experience and engineering judgment. The conclusions and recommendations are professional opinions derived in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made. LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. t February 20, 2009 Wilson Plat L&A Job No. 9AO06 Page 27 The actual subsurface conditions of the site may vary from those encountered by the test pits excavated on the site. The nature and extent of such variations may not become evident until construction starts. If variations appear then, we should be retained to re-evaluate the recommendations of this report, and to verify or modify thern in writing prior to proceeding further with the construction of the proposed development of the site.

T TRAFFIC jEXPERTS 42=-.522 4' 19 Fax: 42 .522 4311 We are pleased to present this traffic impact analysis report for the proposed 14 lot Wilson Park Residential short plat located at the 720 S. 55th St. in the City of Renton. The scope of this analysis is based upon the preliminary plat site plan, the City of Renton Policy Guidelines for Traffic Impact Analysis_for New Development, and conversations with City Renton staff. Our summary, conclusions and recommendations begin on page seven of this report. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Figure 1 is a vicinity map showing the location of the site and study area. Figure 2 is a close in area map showing the site location and surrounding street network. Figure 3 shows the preliminary site plan. The primary access street runs from the southwest corner of the site to S 55th St. through a 50 ft. wide easement on the parcel adjacent to the south side of the site. The primary access from S. 55th St. to the site is 28 ft. wide with a sidewalk on the west side of the street. A secondary gated emergency vehicle access connects to S 55th St. though a 30 ft. easement. Streets within the site will be 32 ft. wide with a sidewalk on one side. The primary site access street is located on the outside of a horizontal curve on S 55th St. to optimize sight distance in both east and west directions for vehicles exiting the site. Page 1 rra Development of the Wilson Park plat is expected to occur by the year 2011. Therefore, for purposes of this study, 2011 is used as the horizon year for this study. An existing single family home within the project site will be removed with this development. TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION The 14 single-family units in the proposed Wilson Park Plat are expected to generate the vehicular trips during an average weekday and during the street traffic peak hours as shown below: Time Period Trip Rate Trips Trips Total Trips per unit Entering Exiting 67 67 Average Weekday 9.57 134 50% 50% AM Peak Hour 0.75 26% 7 8 11 PM Peak Hour 1.01 63% 3 5 14 A vehicle trip is defined as a single or one direction vehicle movement with either the origin or destination (exiting or entering) inside the study site. The trip generation is calculated using the average trip rates in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation, Eighth Edition, for Single Family Detached Housing (ITE Land Use Code 210). These trip generation values account for all site trips made by all vehicles for all purposes, including resident, visitor, and service and delivery vehicle trips. Figure 4 shows the estimated trip distribution and the calculated site -generated traffic volumes. The distribution is based on existing traffic volume patterns, the characteristics of the road network, the location of likely trip origins and destinations (employment, shopping, social and recreational opportunities), expected travel times, and previous traffic studies. Page 2 Wilson Park rraffmy EXISTING PHYSICAL CONDITIONS Street Facilities Figure 5 shows existing traffic control, number of street lanes and other pertinent information. The streets in the study area are classified per the City of Renton Comprehensive Plan as follows: Talbot Rd. S Collector Arterial S 55th St. Local Access 98th Ave S Local access 98th PI. S Local access 102" d Ave S Local access S 55th St. consists of two 11 ft. lanes and a shoulder that varies in width from approximately two to four feet in the vicinity of the project site. A section of S 551h St. east of the project site consists of several sharp curves and is posted with a 15 mph advisory speed sign and with chevron arrows at each curve within the section. There is a left turn pocket on S 55th St. at 98th Ave. S, approximately 125 ft. west of the Wilson Park site access street. EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Traffic Volumes Figure 6 shows existing, future without project and future with project PM peak hour traffic volumes at the proposed site access street/S 55th St. intersection. The proposal generates less than 30 PM peak hour trips and no other intersection or street segment in the City of Renton will experience an increase of 5% in traffic volumes due to this development. Therefore, only the site access street/S 55th St. intersection requires a level of service (LOS) analysis per the City of Renton Policy Guidelines for Traffic Impact Analysis for New Development, A PM peak hour traffic count was performed on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 and is included in the Technical Appendix. Level of Service Analysis Level of Service (LOS) is a qualitative measure describing operational conditions within a traffic flow, and the perception of these conditions by drivers or passengers. These conditions include factors such as speed, delay, travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, comfort, convenience, and safety. Levels of service are given letter designations, from A to F, with LOS A representing the best operating conditions (free flow, little delay) and LOS F the worst (congestion, long delays). Page 3 Wilson Park ifaffmy Generally, LOS A and B are high, LOS C and D are moderate and LOS E and F are low. Table 1 shows calculated level of service (LOS) for future conditions including project traffic at the pertinent street intersection. The LOS was calculated using the procedures in the Transportation Research Board Highway Capacity Manual 2000. The LOS shown indicates overall intersection operation. At intersections, LOS is determined by the calculated average control delay per vehicle. The LOS and corresponding average control delay in seconds are as follows: TYPE OF INTERSECTION A B C D E F < >10.0 and >20.0 and >35.0 and >55.0 and >80. Signalized 10. <20.0 <35.0 <55.0 <80.0 0 0 — — — — Stop Sign Control <1 >10 and <15 >15 and <25 >25 and <35 >35 and <50 >50 Accident History Historical accident data for the section of S. 551h St. between the intersections 98th Ave. S and 991h Pl S was obtained from the City of Renton. A total of 4 accidents occurred from January 1, 2004 through December 31St 2008. Three accidents occurred on the street section between the intersections, one accident occurred at 99th Pi S and no accidents occurred at 98th Ave. South. Two of the accidents were injury type accidents with one being a fatality. The fatality was a single vehicle travelling in the westbound direction approximately 319 ft west of 99th PI. South. None of the accidents occurred at the curve on S. 55th St. where the site access street is proposed to be located. Based on the field review and historical accident data there are no readily apparent safety issues that should result from the proposed development. The historical accident data is included in the technical appendix. FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WITHOUT THE PROJECT Figure 6 shows projected 2011 PM peak hour traffic volumes without the project. These volumes include the existing traffic volume counts plus background traffic growth. The background growth factor accounts for traffic volumes generated from other approved but unbuilt subdivisions and general growth in traffic traveling through the area. A 3% per year annual background growth rate was added for each year of the two year time period from the 2009 traffic count to the 2011 horizon year of the Page 4 Wilson Park rraffm, proposal. Cit� of Renton historical traffic count data supports the 3% per year growth rate on S. 55t Street. FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WITH PROJECT Figure 6 shows the projected future 2011 PM peak hour traffic volumes with the proposed project. The site -generated PM peak hour traffic volumes shown on Figure 4 were added to the projected future without project volumes to obtain the future with project volumes. Table 1 shows calculated LOS for future with project volumes at the Wilson Park site access street/S. 55th St. intersection. The study intersection operates at an excellent LOS A for future 2011 conditions including project -generated traffic. SIGHT DISTANCE EVALUATION Sight distance on S 551h St. is excellent looking to the west from the proposed site access street and extends approximately 785 ft. to Talbot Rd. South. Sight distance to the east is limited by a horizontal curve on S 55th Street. This curve has a posted advisory speed of 15 mph. In evaluating sight distance, the generally accepted rule is to add 5 mph to the posted speed to determine the design speed of the street. Sight distance requirements looking to the east from the Wilson Park site access street are therefore based on a 20 mph design speed for the horizontal curve on S 55th Street. Intersection sight distances and stopping sight distances were measured and compared to City requirements at the Wilson Park site access street/ S 55th St. intersection. City of Renton is requirements are based on current AASHTO "Geometric Design of Highways and Streets" standards. Intersection Siaht Distance AASHTO standards for a 20 mph design speed require an intersection sight distance of 145 ft. looking to the left (east) from the site access street (using an eye height of 3.5 ft. and a vehicle height of 4.25 ft.). Attached in the technical appendix are Exhibits 9-55 and 9-58 showing the current AASHTO standards for intersection sight distance. A right turning vehicle exiting from the side street is required to enter the westbound lane and accelerate to 85% of the design speed so as not to interfere with the traffic flow. The field measured intersection sight distance looking to left (east) from the site access street is 215 ft. thus exceeding the AASHTO required 145 feet. Intersection sight distance looking to the right from the site access street is excellent and extends all the way to Talbot Rd. S at approximately 785 ft. Page 5 Wilson Park r affmi Stopping Sight Distance Stopping sight distance is the distance traveled while the vehicle driver perceives a situation requiring a stop, realizes that stopping is necessary, applies the brake, and comes to a stop. A stopping sight distance of 115 ft. is required for a 20 mph design speed (using an eye height of 3.5 ft. and an object height of 2 ft.). Attached in the technical appendix is Exhibit 3-1 showing the current AASHTO standards for stopping sight distance. There is an approximate 10% downgrade in the westbound direction on S 551h Street. The required stopping sight distance is therefore increased an additional 40 ft. to account for a 10% downgrade with a 20 mph design speed. The required westbound stopping sight distance therefore is 115 + 40 = 155 feet. The field measured westbound stopping sight distance is 197 ft. thus exceeding the required 155 feet. Stopping sight distance for eastbound vehicles on S. 55th St. is excellent and extends from Talbot Rd. S. approximately 785 feet to the site access street. The City of Renton AASHTO based intersection and stopping sight distance requirements are met at the Wilson Park site access street/ S 55th St. intersection in both the east and west directions. TRAFFIC MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS The City of Renton requires a Transportation Mitigation Fee payment of $75 per new daily trip attributed to new development. One existing single family home on site will be removed with this development resulting in a net increase of 13 single family homes. The net new daily trips due to this development are 124 trips (13units x 9.57 daily trips per unit). The estimated Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee is $9,300 (124 daily trips X $75 per daily trip). Page 6 Wilson Park Traffay SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS We recommend that the Wilson Park Plat be constructed as shown on the site plan with the following traffic impact mitigation measures: • Construct the street improvements including curb, gutter and sidewalk for site access street and internal site streets as shown on the site plan. • Contribute the approximately $9,300 Transportation Mitigation fee to the City of Renton. No other traffic mitigation should be necessary. If you have any questions, please call 425-522-4118. You may also contact us via e-mail at vinceCa?nwtraffex.com or larrygnwtraffex.com.

Design Intersection Sight Distance--- Case 1'31•---Lein Turn From Stop Sight distance design for left turns at divided -highway intersections Ahould consider multiple design vehicles and median width. If the design vehicle used to determine sight distance for a divided -highway intersection is larger than a passenger car, then sight distance for left turns will need to be checked for that selected design vehicle and for smaller design vehicles as well. If the divided -highway inedian is wide enough to store the design vehicle with a clearance to the through lanes of approximately I m [3 ft] at tooth ends of the vehicle, no separate analysis for the departure sight triangle for left turns is needed on the minor -road approach for the near roadway to the left. In most cases, the departure sight triangle for right tarns (Case B2) will provide sufficient sight distance for a passenger car to cross the Dear roadway to reach the median. Possible exceptions are addressed in the discussion of Case B3. If the design vehicle can be stored in the trtedian with adequate clearance to the through lanes, a departure sight triangle to the right for left turns should be provided for that design vehicle turning left from the median roadway. Where the tnedian is not wide enough to store the design vehicle, a departure sight triangle should be provided for that design vehicle to turn left from the minor -road approach. The median width should be considered in determining the number of lanes to be crossed. The median width should be converted to egtiivalent lanes. For example, a 7.2-m t24-ft] median should be considered as two Additional lanes to be crossed in applying the multilane highway adjustment for time Saps in Exhibit 9-54. Furthermore, a departure sight triangle for left turns from the median roadway should be provided for the largest design vehicle that can be stored on rrR AAcomeirie D u5ign o _._ighways and 5ireets � pp rr�� C?lt7LCf u?OCoLnM �0C>0 NN0� d �ti(ph0'SO1 tit CPI 0 C 'tj r� Q) 4A ti N iD aQ OD G d: (D u) in <D r- CE7 ccpp O iri Ch CV CD I':6 ,2i r� �i] 'oo } Cd U7 � TcOa cm 1'- O E G .g CpctC3 Cf [XfCOb:QMWMMMC7 N[+)[C)CPr s" y p O u)CritVCMr! 40 N 0cD � rWMMUQQd E w MCA cl q © ;a Cp vi u7Ce)waro U')C•)Nowrl.m mr-, C)r C4 moo NST)0 N d •� r r r r-r-NN N N L�1 �j O r2 �i)Cau7C3c�OkC3�:!S!70U')0LDa � n� U Q C �] Ei?Au)08OQQtoC+QLD CV m U7 w m C7 Cr! ip M N N 'a io Q} CM U-i C 0 U m N Sh0OOU?NMu?w q 9T w G) [ w- M C7 1j q tO OD - in co 0 IN m w V Ca p r- r- r- N N N OD lQ ID 0— d d aD as , (0 CV er a0 u7 tri •- N V u) a m Lxi 0 o T .-- i7 tD C) O7 F` SO d7 00 <u G! m CD m '00, CA h, r., w M Lo Lo V ''t t"i Li r� (� Q co (!�` ,- u7 CV CA (6 c') O rKVC+rm-4�r �QwtohOacr) C1-0 Fz 0coC-)C)o0 0 n carso is Q N CV) d tA z 21 112 Ci i M.
