Project Proposal: The proposed project is to install a new residential dock at 3101 Mountain View Ave N. The project site is located within the Residential-8 (R-8) zone. The proposal is to install eighteen (18) new 8" steel piles and construct a 613 sq ft dock covered by grated decking material. The proposal includes a 25-foot planted buffer along the Lake Washington Shoreline. The project site abuts Lake Washington, a Shoreline of the State, and is within reach E and the Shoreline Residential designation. The project site is mapped with a Moderate Landslide Hazard Area. Current Use: An existing single family residence, proposed to remain, is located on the project site. Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Zoning: The project site is located within the zoning designation of Residential 8 (R-8) and a Comprehensive Plan designation of Residential Medium Density. Development Standards: There are no specific building or site development standards applicable to the proposed dock, with the exception of the Shoreline regulations, RMC 4-3-090. Critical Areas: The site is located within 200 feet of Lake Washington, a Shoreline of the State. The shoreline designation for in-water work at this location is Shoreline Aquatic and the reach is Lake Washington Reach E. A lake study would be required to be submitted with the proposed application. The lake study must include an analysis of the impacts of the proposal and whether the proposal would result in a net loss of ecological functions. Shoreline Master Program: The Shoreline Master Program permits single family residential docks within the Aquatic Shoreline Environment (RMC 4-3-090E1), as follows: Lew Residence Page 2 of 4 March 3, 2022 Individual Single Family Docks: The approval of a new dock or pier or a modification or extension of an existing dock or pier shall include a finding that the following criteria have been met: (1) A new dock providing for private recreational moorage for an individual lot may not be permitted in subdivisions approved on or before January 28, 1993, unless shared moorage is not available, and there is no homeowners association or other corporate entity capable of developing shared moorage. (2) A new dock shall not be allowed for an individual lot in cases where a joint use dock has been constructed to serve the subject lot. (3) Prior to approval of a new dock for private recreational moorage for an individual lot, the owner should demonstrate that adjacent owners have been contacted and they have declined to develop or utilize a shared dock. Such information should be provided in the project narrative at the time of permit submittal. (4) A new dock should be approved only in cases where use of a mooring buoy is demonstrated to be impractical for reducing over-water coverage. Design Criteria – General: i. Pier Type: All piers and docks shall be built of open pile construction except that floating docks may be permitted where there is no danger of significant damage to an ecosystem, where scenic values are high and where one or more of the following conditions exist: (a) Extreme water depth, beyond the range of normal length piling. (b) A soft bottom condition, providing little support for piling. (c) Bottom conditions that render it not feasible to install piling. ii. Construction and Maintenance: All piers and docks shall be constructed and maintained in a safe and sound condition. iii. Approach: Approaches to piers and docks shall consist of ramps or other structures that span the entire foreshore to the point of intersection with stable upland soils. Limited fill or excavation may be allowed landward of the OHWM to match the upland with the elevation of the pier or dock. iv. Materials: Applicants for the new construction or extension of piers and docks or the repair and maintenance of existing docks shall use materials that will not adversely affect water quality or aquatic plants and animals over the long term. Materials used for submerged portions of a pier or dock, decking, and other components that may come in contact with water shall be approved by applicable State agencies for use in water to avoid discharge of pollutants from wave splash, rain or runoff. Wood treated with creosote, pentachlorophenol or other similarly toxic materials is prohibited. Pilings shall be constructed of untreated materials, such as untreated wood, approved plastic composites, concrete or steel. v. Pilings: Pile spacing shall be the maximum feasible to minimize shading and avoid a “wall” effect that would block or baffle wave patterns, currents, littoral drift, or movement of a quatic life forms, or result in structure damage from driftwood impact or entrapment. The first piling set shall be spaced at the maximum distance feasible to minimize shading and shall be no less than eighteen feet (18'). Pilings beyond the first set of piles shall minimize the size of the piles and maximize the spacing between pilings to the extent allowed by site -specific engineering or design considerations. vi. Minimization of Nearshore Impacts: In order to minimize impacts on nearshore areas and avoid reduction in ambient light level: Lew Residence Page 3 of 4 March 3, 2022 (a) The width of piers, docks, and floats shall be the minimum necessary to serve the proposed use. (b) Ramps shall span as much of the nearshore as feasible. (c) Dock surfaces shall be designed to allow light penetration. (d) Lights shall avoid illuminating the water surface. Lighting facilities shall be limited to the minimum extent necessary to locate the pier or dock at night for docks serving residential uses. Lighting to serve water-dependent uses shall be the minimum required to accommodate the use and may not be used when the water-dependent aspects of the use are not in operation. vii. Covered Moorage: Covered moorage is not allowed on any moorage facility unless translucent materials are used that allow light penetration through the canopy, or through the roof of legal, pre -existing boat houses. Temporary vessel covers must be attached to the vessel. New boat houses are not allowed. viii. Seaplane Moorage: Seaplane moorage may be accommodated at any dock that meets the standards of the Shoreline Master Program. ix. Other Agency Requirements: If deviation from the design standards specified in subsection E7 of this Section, Piers and Docks, is approved by another agency with permitting authority, such as the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, it shall be approved with a variance, subject to all conditions and requirements of those permitting agencies. Design Standards – Single Family Docks: Single Family WHEN ALLOWED Maximum of one pier or dock per developed waterfront lot or ownership. LENGTH – MAXIMUM Docks and Piers Minimum needed to provide moorage for a single family residence, a maximum of one ell and two (2) fingers. Maximum: 80 ft. from OHWM.2 Ells and Fingers 26 ft. Floats 20 ft. WIDTH Docks and Piers 4 ft.4 Ells and Floats 6 ft. Fingers 2 ft. Lew Residence Page 4 of 4 March 3, 2022 Single Family Ramp Connecting a Pier/Dock to a Float 3 ft. for walkway, 4 ft. total PILINGS – MAXIMUMS Mooring Piles Two (2) piles, up to 12 in. in diameter, installed within 24 ft. of a dock or pier and out of the nearshore area. SETBACKS – MINIMUMS Side Setback No portion of a pier or dock may lie closer than 5 ft. to an adjacent property line and may not interfere with navigation. Table Notes: 2. Maximum length is eighty feet (80') unless a depth of ten feet (10') cannot be obtained. In such circumstances the dock may be extended until the water depth reaches a point of ten feet (10') in depth at ordinary low water. 4. That portion of a pier or dock beyond thirty feet (30') from OHWM may be up to six feet (6') wide, without a variance, if approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife; or a pier or dock may be six feet (6') wide, waterward from land, without a variance, if the property owner qualifies for State disabled accommodations. Environmental Review: The proposal would be subject to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review, as the proposal includes in-water work and would not qualify as an exemption identified under WAC 197-11-800. Permit Requirements: The proposal would require a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit and Environmental (SEPA) Review. The proposed applications would be reviewed concurrently within an estimated timeframe of 8 weeks. The application fee would total $4,515 ($2,700 Shoreline Permit + $1,600 SEPA + $215 Technology = $4,515). All fees are subject to change. Detailed information regarding the land use application submittal can be found on the City’s new website by clicking “Land Use Applications” on the Communit y & Economic Development page, then “All Forms (A to Z).” The City now requires electronic plan submittal for all applications.
