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. I have completed a preliminary review for the above-referenced proposal located at parcel(s) 0723059007. The following comments are based on the pre-application submittal made to the City of Renton by the applicant. WATER 1. The project is within the City of Renton’s water service area in the 196-hydraulic zone. 2. There is an existing 12-inch City water main located along the east side of the proposed building (see City water project plan no. W-3132). The maximum capacity of the 12-inch water main is 1,250 gallons per minute (gpm) because it is supplied with a 100-ft section of 8-inch main along the north side of the site. If this section of 8-inch pipe is replaced with a new 12-inch pipe, the capacity of the above 12-inch main would increase to 2,800 gpm. The static water pressure is approximately 74 psi at a ground elevation of 22 feet. There is an existing 12-inch high-pressure water main (320-feet hydraulic zone) along the east side and south of the site that ends approximately 200 feet south of the south boundary of the site (see City water project plan no. W-3879) with a maximum capacity of 2,800 gpm. The static water pressure is approximately 129 psi at ground elevation of 22 feet. 3. Based on the submitted information for the pre-application meeting, Renton Fire Authority has determined that the preliminary fireflow demand for the development is 3,750 gpm including the use of an automatic fire sprinkler system. This fire flow demand for the development exceeds the capacity of the existing water system; therefore, the applicant should evaluate other alternatives including the type of building construction materials or other methods to reduce the fire flow demand of the development to 2,800 gpm or less. A looped water main around the building is required if the fire flow demand exceeds 2,500 gpm. The looped water main improvements would include: 4  Installation of approximately 210 feet of 12-inch water main in W. Perimeter Rd from the existing 12-inch main on the north side of the site to the southerly boundary of the site.  Installation of approximately 200 feet of 12-inch water main along the south boundary of the site connecting the above new 12-inch main in W. Perimeter Rd to the existing 12-inch main on the east side of the site. There are existing stormwater and sanitary sewer line along the south side of the building and adequate separation must be provided between the new water line and the existing sanitary and storm water lines. A minimum of 10-feet horizontal separation is required between the water line and the sewer and storm lines.  Replacement of a 100-foot section of existing 8-inch water main at the northwest corner of the site with a new 12-inch water main 4. Installation of additional fire hydrants. The location and number of hydrants will be determined by the Fire Authority based on the final fire flow demand and final site plan. A hydrant is required within 50 feet of the building’s fire sprinkler system fire department connection (FDC). 5. Installation of domestic water service line(s) and meter(s) will be required. Meter(s) sizing shall be per Uniform Plumbing Code, Chapter 6. 6.
