RE: Kinkade Crossing Plat ORDER ON REQUEST FOR
RECONSIDERATION
Preliminary Plat
LUA 15-000695, ECF, PP Requestor: City of Renton, WA
INTRODUCTION
PK Enterprises received Preliminary Plat approval from the City of Renton on
January 5, 2016 for a 17 lot residential subdivision. On January 13, 2016, the City of
Renton filed a request for reconsideration toward modification of Condition of
Approval #8. The City argued the condition prematurely granted the applicant a
modification to RMC 4-6-060J without a formal application for the modification
pursuant to MCC 4-6-060Q.1. The City further argues the examiner failed to provide
adequate justification for allowing Lot 13 to access either the alley or Road A (RMC
4-7-150E.5). The City's request for reconsideration is granted.
DISCUSSION
The Final Decision of the above-captioned matter grants a modification to RMC 4-6-
060J based on the City's testimony demonstrating a willingness to support such a
modification. The City's argument that a formal application for a modification
pursuant to MCC 4-6-060Q.1 is required prior to approval of said modification is
correct.
The City also conectly argues that the examiner failed to justify properly the approval
of the applicant's requested modification to RMC 4-7-150E.5 with respect to access
to Lot 13. The applicant did not provide a formal modification request for this
decision and there is nothing in the record to indicate Lot 13 cannot be safely
accessed via the alley. Street access is not required.
The examiner issued an order on January 18, 2016 allowing the applicant until
1 February 5, 2016 to comment on the City's Request for Reconsideration. The
2 applicant did not provide comment.
3 Condition#8 of the Final Decision is modified as follows:
� 8. Lots -k�13-17 shall gain vehicular access to their respective lots off the
alley. Lots 1 and 2 s�-1—ma�� gain access from a shared driveway. if a
� shared drive��a�� modification is aaaroved b� the Cit�. �� !? ..,�•� '�;:
