There are no significant numbers of large trees . Land currently is grass, brush, debris and uncontrolled fill material . ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF PROPOSED PROJECT : In the following questions summarize what the applicant feels will be the environmental impact , both beneficial and adverse , of the proposed project. Consideration should be given to both the human and natural environmental as well as physical , social , and aesthetic aspect . For projects which are part of a more extensive plan , consider the implications of the entire plan and not just the project now being proposed . 18 . Land Use : Will the project have a significant effect on land use in the surrounding area? IX lyes I Ino • Explain : The project will provide shopping facilities in an area almost exclusively single and multi-family. The site is on two major arteries, 138th and Sunset, and therefore, will not require ad- ditional provisions or changes due to traffic. The project' s presence should make single family development in the area more attractive. 19 . Project Desi_gn and Appearance : Will the project design , appear- ance , landscaping , etc . , assure the maximum protection for the natural environment? [ yes Ino - Explain : - The buildings will be architecturally designed of masonry con- struction. Landscaped planter areas will be provided on 138th, Anacortes and Sunset. To the rear of the project, a 90 ' ± in width extensive landscape buffer zone will provide a screen from the residential area. 20 . Ground Contours : Does the proposed project have an effect on the existing ground contours of the project location? x yes Ino . Is the project likely to cause erosion or sedimentation? r-1 yes X no? If "yes" to either , explain . The site will require considerable cut and fill in low swampy areas in order to provide a flat parking area. There will be provisions made for on-site storm water retention. • - 5 - • 21 . Air Quality: Will construction of the project and use of the completed project have a substantial effect on the existing air quality? (Consider the effect of any gas , chemicals , smoke , dust , particulate matter , and odors) ? x yes .no If "yes " explain . Due to automobiles , carbon monoxide will be present. The ten- tative side plan indicates a parking ratio of 1/200 square feet of building and 1/2000 square feet of nursery. 22 . Water Quality : Will construction of the project and use of the completed project be likely to have an effect on -the existing water quality, of the area? (Consider the adequacy of drainage and runoff and the likely endpoint of any liquids draining from the project. ) yes 'no . Is there a good possibility that this project will requir an expansion of local water and/or sewer facilities? I yes 1Ino If "yes" to either , explain . Due to water run-off in parking areas, water will contain oil resedue, dirt, rubber from auto tires, etc. This storbd water will be contained on-site. 23 . Noise : Will construction of the project or use of the completed of. project significantly .affect the_ existing' noise levels of the area? x , yes . no .. Will the project be affected= by' airports , freeways , railroads or other sources of noise?- - I lyes , x no If "yes " to either , explain . Both Sunset Highway and 138th Avenue S .E . are major arteries. 24 . Population Density: Will a noticeable population change, result from this project? ( Consider the present density per acre in the surrounding community to the proposed density of the project and including daytime density. ) yes x no . Will the pro- ject cause periodic or temporary fluctuations in population due to tourism , employment---shopping , 'schools , etc . (- x (yes rjno . If "yes " to either , explain . The project will not increase the population or place demand upon schools,. etc. The transient population will increase during the hours of approximately 10 am to ,.7 pm, because of shoppers and employees of the shopping center. • (- - 6 - 25 . Effect on Population : Will the proposed action directly or in- directly cause the relocation of a sizeable number of persons or the division or disruption of existing community patterns of liv- ing? yes x no If "yes " explain . Land occupied by only two single family residences. 26 . Schools and Parks : Will the proposed project have an effect on schools and parks in the area? yes X no If "yes " explain . • 27 . Transportation : Will construction of the project or use of the completed project have a significant impact on transportation in the area? II yes j X no Explain : Existing roadways are sufficient. The eventual construction of Anacortes Avenue and a road to the south of development will im- prove overall traffic patterns in the immediate area. 28. Public Use : Will the project be available for use by all sectors of the public? yes no Explain : The center will be open to the public for shopping. 29 . Other Impacts : Identify any other beneficial or adverse environ- mental impacts which may result from the construction or comple- tion of the proposed project. • Construction of the project will eliminate the low swampy areas and flooding from Honeydew Creek, since the creek will be en- closed. The construction of Anacortes and the road to the south of the project will provide better access for the Honeydew pro- ject and the single family homes on 137th Avene. - 7 - 30 . VIEWS OF •LOCAL GROUPS : Have you made your plans known to interested community coups or neighbors in the vicinity of the project? 1 ]yes no If "yes" what are their reactions? If "no" do you intend to contact these people? yes Xjno Have only spoken to three parties in the area. Two are in favor of the development and one is opposed. Since the project must be aired in a public hearing, community input will result.

Staff review determined that project : Has no significant environmental impact and application should be processed without further consideration of environmental effects . May have significant environmental impact and a complete environmental assessment should be prepared by applicant prior to further action on request for permit . B . Reasons for above conclusion : Signature of Responsible Official or Authorized Representative Date : Form : EIS-1 Planning Department October 15 , 1973 Air: Air quality is not expected to be materially affected. The national standard for particulate matter is 75 micrograms per cubic meter. The standard established by Washington State Department of Ecology is 60 . Monitoring stations in the City of Renton have been experiencing 30 to 40 micrograms per cubic meter. Although there will be increased traffic resulting both from the operation of the shopping center and from increased traffic vol- ume on the roadways, there is scarce reason to believe that air quality standards will be seriously affected. Effective controls for air quality tend to deal with manufacturing plants, large-scale industrial pollutants, and the design of vehicle emission controls as being the logical way of attacking the source of the problem. Generally speaking, the use of motor vehicles in a person' s daily life, including travels to and from a shopping center, are not construed to be a major source of pollution. There are no noxious odors, nor any heavy concentrations of smoke or fumes associated with the proposed development. Depending upon weather conditions, there would be temporary dust associated with construction of the project. This will be mitigated by using water control and other methods to reduce dust. • •3 An "Application For Review Of An Indirect Source" is being filed hJ with the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency. A 24-hour traffic volume study conducted in 1976 revealed that there were 6, 655 cars per day passing the site on Sunset Boulevard and 6, 412 cars per day passing the site on Duvall Avenue. It is estimated that by 1980, there will be 8 , 651 cars per day on Sunset Boule- vard and 8, 337 cars per day on Duvall. This project is antici- pated to create 1, 800 vehicles on an average day. The applica- tion is being made through the offices of Douglas Mulvanny/ Architects. The, contents of that application and the related "Traffic Study" are on file with the City of Renton. The appli- cation will be thoroughly reviewed by the Puget Sound Air Pollu- tion Control Agency and their comments will be available at a future date. -7- . AFFIDAVIT - - _ We, C.E.

Approximately nine acres will be devoted to a shopping center development, and approxi- mately two acres to a low density multi-family use. The sponsor- ing entity is Loveless/Powell, Inc. , of Bellevue, Washington. The lead agency is the City of Renton with the responsible offi- cial being Gordon Y. Ericksen, Planning Director. The draft EIS was prepared in the offices of Loveless/Powell, Inc. , with primary authorship by Dean Tibbott. Construction plans will be reviewed in detail by various depart- . ments in the City of Renton. Permits and/or approvals will be required for grading, storm sewers, sanitary sewers, water supply, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems. Source data is available in the files of Renton' s Planning Depart- " ment. Interested parties may obtain a copy of the EIS from the City of Renton at a cost of $2. 00 each. The date of issue of the draft EIS is April 20, 1977. Consultant agencies and the public must file comments with the lead agency, the City of Renton, for incorporation into the final EIS not later than May 25, 1977. Contact person: Mr. Michael L. Smith Renton Planning Department 200 Mill Avenue • Renton, Washington 98055 DISTRIBUTION LIST See Exhibit R. SUMMARY The contents of this EIS and the scope of the proposed project deal with the rezoning and development of land which is mostly unimproved. Existing improvements consist of two single-family residences, plus fencing and several out-buildings . -1- EIS MAILING LIST - LOVELESS/POWELL, INC. • FEDERAL AGENCIES Puget Sound Power & Light Co.

Councilman Mike Lowry • Ms. Gayle Wright Housing & Community Development Exhibit R The objective of the project is to provide new shopping facili- ties to serve the expanding needs of a growing population. Ob- vious alternatives would be as follows: 1. Do nothing. 2. Build a project of lesser scope. 3. Build a project of greater scope. 4 . Select an alternate location. Evaluation of population, travel patterns, and growth trends re- veal a potential for this project as proposed. The physical impact upon the site will be to change its use from one of very low density single-family residential to that of moderately in- tense commercial, with a buffer area of low density multi-family. The existent land and environment do not hold any special archeo- logical, historical nor environmental conditions which have been cited for retention. No such conditions are known to exist, and .no probable condition of this type is observable on the site. The property is too small, and adjacent traffic is too heavy, for the property to harbor any major game species. It is not feas- ible, given the property size and status of surrounding develop- • ment, to presume that a "do-nothing" approach would improve the environment. A more intense development is not indicated at this time. A somewhat larger development of similar density could have merit. Alternative sites are conceivable, but this site was selected with particular emphasis on major traffic routes, and geographic convenience to existing and planned residential areas. A project of lesser scope would not fulfill the specific demand for the proposed facility, thus requiring additional commercial facilities scattered elsewhere in the vicinity. The proposed concept aids in clustering commercial development near the in- tersection as opposed to development in a "strip commercial" fashion. At one time a natural drainage creek flowed through the property. As a result of road work and partial filling of the property, the -2- once swampy area of the creek is now mostly contained to a rela- tively narrow course consisting of filled banks, rubble, and debris. There is little evidence of foliage or growth typically associated with a running. stream. Water on the property can best be described as storm drainage. In carrying out the devel- opment, it is proposed that this storm drainage will be contained . within a culvert. Storm drainage from the project will be re- tained in a series of catch basins and holding-conduits controlled by restricted orifices and oil separating devices. The rate of storm water runoff will be controlled to match existing rates. The controlled flow will then be placed into the culvert, and thence into the water course which handles the existing runoff. (See Exhibit J. ) The project will include a significant amount of regrading. Pre- liminary studies indicate that cut and fill will approximately balance. Although large areas of the existing fill are not suit- able for the construction of buildings, it is planned that such fill will be stabilized for use under parking areas where the load bearing requirements are minimal. The services of a quali- fied Soils Engineer will be engaged as a consultant to the Architect and Civil Engineer who will design the project. Sig- nificant areas of land in the vicinity of this site are not highly developed at this time. There is, however, a well es- tablished pattern of thoroughfares. Historical travel patterns, plus trends in residential development, are compatible with the plans for commercial utilization. At this time the land utilization is at minimum levels. Some vacant portions of the property have been partially filled and at present are unsightly. In the sense that this proposal will carry out a completed, well-designed shopping center concept, it is certain to improve the general appearance of large portions of the property. The possible adverse impacts are in the areas of water runoff,' greater intensity of use, failure to construct a shopping center with pleasing aesthetics, and elimination of -3- the land parcel from other uses which to some observers might be more desirable. Adverse impacts will be mitigated through careful compliance with construction codes, and by utilizing currently accepted "state-of-the-art" techniques in architec- ture, engineering and construction. • DESCRIPTION The shopping center part of the project is to be named "Cen- tral Highlands Plaza". It will be a development, of approximately nine (9) acres containing a super-market, super-drug, and a broad spectrum hardware-nursery operation. In addition there will be satellite convenience shops and possibly a restaurant. There will be no name for the apartment units which are planned for construction on land lying south of the commercial buildings. The intention is- to provide a buffer or transition area in com- pliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. This area is the south 130 feet of the total parcel, excluding the right-of-way which is being dedicated to the City of Renton as a part of this project. The net land contains about one and one-half acres and will be developed with four (4) four-plexes. The buildings will be well spaced and plantings will be utilized to enhance the buffering effect. This proposal is sponsored by Loveless/ Powell, Inc. The project is located at the southwest corner of Sunset Blvd. N.E. and Duvall Ave. N.E. (otherwise designated as 138th Avenue S.E. in unincorporated areas of King County) . . Both of these streets are designated and utilized as primary arterials de- signed to carry major traffic loads from the surrounding resi- dential' and commercial areas. A street address has not yet been established. ' The legal description can be found on Exhibit C. A small scale site plan can be found as Exhibit G. The bulk of the construction will be carried out commencing as soon as possible after the necessary permits and' licenses have -4- LEGAL DESCRIPTION Tracts No. 8 and 9, Joseph P.

Tenatively this will be in July, 1977. Related portions of the commercial construction could occur over a subse-, quent two year period. The completed project contemplates the construction of low density multiple dwellings on land which will. be rough graded in the original construction and made ready for construction. Depending upon demand, this phase of construction could logically occur anytime between 1977 and 1982. Although the apartment zoned site will basically be dormant until that phase of construction is started, portions of the planting at the bound- ary with the B-1 property will be installed as a part of the com- mercial construction after rough-grading has been completed. The major physical and engineering -aspects of the proposal are '' outlined in the section titled "Summary" . The scope of the grad- ing and the intended approach to landscaping and buffering can be discerned by reviewing the Grading Site Plan (see Exhibit H) . Rough-grading the site will consist primarily of stabilizing existing fill and moving portions of the higher ground to the lower areas. Although cut and fill are expected to approximately be in balance, there may be some import required to establish op- timum grades on the property. Larger scale drawings are on file with the City of Renton. Because finished grades generally drain away from the perimeter roads, it is not anticipated that there will be any problem in keeping earth and runoff within the bound- aries of the property during construction. However, temporary detention/retention ponds and hydroseeding may be required per City Mining, Excavation, and Grading Ordinance requirements. A portion of the area in question was previously designated for commercial use by King County, and was so designated on the City of Renton Land-Use element of the Comprehensive Plan at the time -of incorporation into the City. Evidence and arguments were pre- sented to the City of Renton in support of an expanded commercial area at this location. In resultant action, the City of Renton enacted Ordinance No. 3112. This Ordinance revises the Land-Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan to the condition as illustrated -5- • • �1,i ..�• .� ,y. 1. .• • • '• • .. �' ri1i�i.i•y '•r.:�; ',+ may' '1: , __ 1_ v—. • v --- } 1 . • .alempwin , _ _._ . _ _ _ . 1 ..illi.111111111.,_ 1.1.....110.1—.. . 1 . . . .. . , .

EXISTING CONDITIONS & IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT • Earth: A review of soils types as published by Xing County, • • Washington, indicates that most of the site is Alderwood series • (Ag C) . The Alderwood series is made up of moderately well drained soils that have a weakly consolidated to strongly con- . solidated substratum at 'a.depth of 24 to 40 inches. These soils • F are on uplands. They formed under conifers, in glacial deposits. Slopes are 0 to .70 percent. The annual precipitation is 35 to 60 inches, most of which is rainfall, between 'October and May. The mean annual air temperature is about' 50° P. The frost-free season is 150 •to 200 days. Elevation ranges from 100 to 800 • ' feet. In a representative profile, the surface layer and subsoil are very dark brown, dark-brown, and grayish-brown gravelly sandy., loam about 27 inches thick. ,The substratum is grayish-brown, . weakly consolidated to strongly consolidated glacial till that • ' extends to a depth of 60 inches and more. (See. Exhibit F. ) Al- derwood soils are used for urban development, pasture, timber, and row crops. • Part. of the site holds .Shalcar Muck (Sm) . These muck and mucky • peat . layers ar.e. found on the lowest portion of. the. property and typically have a combined thickness of .16 to 28. inches. They occur within a' depth of 32 inches. Thin layers of mineral soil material .also. o:ccur within this depth in places,. The extent of this condition is being evaluated by a soils engineer. This area of. the property will be filled and compacted. There is the pos- sibility .that some undesirable material will be exported from the site. A topographical survey reveals that most of the site lies . between 390' and 400' above sea level. Extremes of topography are 385' and 419 ' . • • -6- f�3z ; Io�‘L\fir. •°r9 ,,1_ • 39 ) ,2 11^11 ,z �•o�� ST 3S_ II • l 4 4n O a' / 89ve, 95'69 v8 4Q 37 LI.S ' N 8i / Z 94 TO 4®4 I 36• > , E NOT SS B6 W NT AZ 772 /*Si4 � .P:AT 4 j4 r 7� IOC AT \'79 78 177 76 75 P�� 4 ® 31 l �.� >• .��11:.t.. a w J 0 ti 1 4 2 8 1._.• 8� n2 2V .. b 82 ®CESZ��� PZ3 Zi 2i Zo 19�—,r�si � • ystii• 1 I` 13 141516, 7,8I`J IIG'' 1l12 1; 14 15_16I1{11'I 1a 5 4 3 2 1 '' S Fe 1`v '. ti ,. %IVA•"/..v'.,:.v.....•........,.......62.%.....i.......:....:•.:0• 1M.•..:..:.•0....v. . , • ,R 1 k K 7 � V C :.4 ••• •• r t rtt4tA+0• 1 z-t :.'Kt% "!,-,., •• , e av t . !: ;..•'":: \ .r� 3064.f R L ,yam w,.� :•r' r:' hyt f : :%:•.Y „+.'*:':`fit. ;�'•_" ::.f yy .:W 1 •A d rr G .•r• t �s .r' �. .h fi.

The plans for storm water control and ducting are to be found on pages titled Utility Site Plan (Exhibit I) and Water Retention System (Exhibit J) . The method of handling is to use surface-ponding plus a series of catch basins with controlled orifices. These controls will release the water into the culvert and thence into the downstream flow at a rate not to exceed calculated existing runoff. Design of the system is, for a 25-year storm. Domestic water with ade7 quate quantity and pressure is available to the site. There is a 12" water main in Sunset Boulevard, and there are 8" lines on either side of the property (see Exhibit I) . Flora: There are no crops on the property and there are no unique species to be found. The approximate northern one-third of the site is existing fill material with no vegetative cover. Other portions of the site contain scrub grass and vegetation. The areas around the existing single family residence consist pri- marily of vegetation introduced to the site by man. There are five mature cedars and two good-sized fir trees on the site. Initial studies indicate the possibility of retaining a couple of these trees. In any event, there will .be clusters of new evergreen plantings installed in appropriate landscaping areas. Fauna: The land has been "cleared" for many years. It is adja- cent to major thoroughfares. In part, it has been used as a pri- vate, smallscale pasture. There is no evidence of any major wild- life species, although it is probable that small birds and rodents exist on the site. Noise: There will be a certain increase in noise associated with construction and with operation of the shopping center. There are no plans for any industrial or manufacturing uses. Equipment • utilized in construction and operation of the center will fall within the standards established by Law under the State of • -8- . . • . .. - ... . .. , ;7ar- r,:mr:w..--. :••r•rn:'?:'ia.;f•rt'••:1:.'7',1.•gym,z."77-.:"•:.:. - ';" rC,;":7?..a•:"'i.!",‘:a.,;/r7-.,., , .- t. cr .i• ` .; .t • f r"II 1 • 4�1tNfE ,UVILly LIU a • .lal rP6 I 1Y 1141I'ls i .. • i \ _r._w. _ ram.

Mitigating measures: construction noise can be reduced through the use of proper noise attenuation equipment on all construction related uses. Vegetation can be utilized to reduce noise levels. in cri- ' tical areas. ' • The Washington. State Department of Ecology has specified regula- r 1 tions relating to maximum environmental noise levels . They have , ti classified various areas or zones and established maximum permis sible noise levels. These "EDNAs" (Environmental Designation for Noise Abatemen.t)' are classified as: a) Residential areas - Class A EDNA b) Commercial areas - Class. B EDNA • c) Industrial areas - Class C EDNA • . The maximum permissible noise levels for these zones are shown in Table I below. . - • TABLE I NOISE LIMITATIONS - EDNA OF NOISE SOURCE ' EDNA OF RECEIVING PROPERTY CLASS A ' CLASS B ' CLASS C ' Class A. 55 dBA 57 dBA 60 dBA Class B 57 60 65 ' Class C. 60 ' 65 70 Between the hours of 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM the noise limitations of the foregoing table shall be reduced by 10 dBA for receiving • ' .property within Class A EDNA's. These noise levels may be exceeded ; 'on the. receiving property by 15 dBA for 1. 5 minutes, 10 dBA for 5! minutes, 5 dBA for 15 minutes for any_ one hour, day or night. • Light and Glare:' ' There will be yard lights in the shopping cen- ter and lights within the buildings. The yard lighting will have directional controls. Considering the size of the property and the ample road widths, there should not be any uncomfortable light . or glare. In this . area, Sunset Boulevard has 400 watt Sodium Va- -9- por Luminaires at about 300 ' intervals on each side of the street. Suitable landscaping at the site perimeters and within the parking areas will assist in mitigating certain daytime glare. Land Use: The area has been designated on the Comprehensive Land- Use Plan for commercial and multiple-family uses (see Exhibit D) . Present development on the site consists of two single-family residences, together with appurtenant structures. The surround- ing area is mostly zoned multiple and single-family residential. There is a mixture of single-family, multiple-family and business uses in the area. Commercial uses are located at the other three corners of the intersection of Duvall_,and Sunset Boulevard. Com- mercial uses also exist at the corner of Union Avenue NE and Sun- set Boulevard, approximately one-quarter of a mile west of the subject site. Several large apartment complexes exist near the site, including the. Honeydew Apartments adjacent to the Southwest corner of the subject site, and the apartment developments North- west of the site along Sunset Boulevard. Honeydew Estates, a single family residence subdivision, is located South of• the Honey- '' dew Apartments, or approximately 500 feet southwest of the subject site. . There is an existing 30 ' road easement bordering the site and an existing 40 ' powerline easement, the north line of which lies eight feet south of the south boundary of the property (i.e. , the powerline easement overlaps 22 ' of the road easement) . An existing church is located just south of the easement, with low density single-family residential uses farther south along Duvall Avenue N.E. A map of the existing zoning is attached as Exhibit E of this report. • Impacts do Land Use: Approval of the subject rezone and construe- -- • tion of the proposedshopping center will cause the 11 acre site to be converted from its present undeveloped and low density -10- (1 ut • '..- C.;ti•-•-. . it '-, ) . 1 !....1„,.... .. . a • 1 .

This, however, is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan for the area, and the general development trends of the area. Certain secondary impacts may occur as a result of the proposed project, due to a possible stimulating influence on zoning and building activity . in the area. . However, the trend toward increased density and development in this general area is already established (i.e. , Honeydew Estates, Honeydew Apartments, Springtree Apart- ments, and the Glencoe Subdivision, and recent improvements on Sunset Boulevard and Duvall Avenue N.E. ) . Mitigating Measures: Landscaping and site improvements will assist in reducing impacts to adjacent properties . Also, the planned residential four-plexes at the, south end of the subject site and the proposed street will create a transitional buffer area between the proposed commercial uses and existing single- family uses. At the present time there are significant areas of land which re- main undeveloped. Traffic patterns are well established, and it appears that patterns are rapidly developing for a continuation of residential zoning and land-use on most of the land area of the plateau on which this site is located. There is, however, other commercial zoning which tends to be clustered and well separated. Natural Resources : Resources will be consumed as building mater- ials during construction, and as utilities in the continuing op- eration. Careful construction techniques and good design con- cepts will preclude any overt waste of resources. Explosion: The risk of explosion "or the emission of hazardous substances is not inherent in the proposed project or its oper- ation. Design, construction, and operation will all conform to current safety regulations. -11- • Population: There are presently more than nine thousand people within one mile of the site, twenty thousand within two miles, and approximately thirty thousand in the general locale. Addi- tional information and detail are to be found on Exhibits L, M, and N. The population impacts are primarily related to the re- sulting demand for traffic facilities, public services and utili- ties, and the effects on noise levels, air quality and water quality. These are discussed more specifically under the appli- cable sections of this report. Housing: Housing is mixed, with single-family homes and low to medium density apartments. There are some mobile homes but most are of conventional construction. The impact of this particular project will be to add sixteen (16) additional residential units to the locale. Secondary impacts in housing may occur as a result of higher density clustering near the proposed development. Transportation/Circulation: A review of the 1976 traffic volumes is to be found in Exhibit K. The shopping center project is bounded by two major thoroughfares. _ The design capacity of both Sunset And Duvall is 40, 000 vehicles per day. Parking facilities will be established in keeping with well accepted norms for this type of development. The land-to-building ratio of the commercial development will be on the order of 2. 8 to 1. 0. The total number of parking stalls will approach one per 200 square feet of ground floor building area, and be not fewer than one per 225 square feet of building area. Metro now has bus service to Union Avenue which is 3/8 mile to the west. It is probable that service will be expanded in the future. . The City of Renton has a current- year project for the installation of a 5-phase signal light at the intersection of Sunset and Duvall. The light will have an 8-phase capacity. The combination of the signal light and cer- tain lane modifications will bring traffic capacity of the streets and intersection to a level capable of easily handling the exist- ing and anticipated traffic (i.e. , at least 40,000 cars per day on each street) , including that generated by the proposed project. -12- in 1-1- 1AF=FIG TAI3ULATIo1=1 l PAST YE.A1', - I cYjlo si ' 1J��7 AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC Vy Var' • l aN ��p3 9 . to / � 1 .02//J -/ 42 / /� ��3 (4) J ‘__>. .,,!' - ' , • 98o PARiell►dCq STALL w it p w PROP05ED A P - SHoPPID-t4� CENTER A.

The westerly portion of this plateau is generally refered to as the Highlands area of Renton. The plateau includes unincorporated areas of King county. The census tracts which cover this plateau are tracts 0251 through 0256, except 0253 which lies west of I-405, plus portions of 0319 and 0321.

This, together with proper interior circulation and traffic control devices, will assist in balancing traffic distri- bution and reducing overall traffic impacts. Public Service: The City of Renton has a well established sys- tem of public agencies to serve the community. This project is a designed to serve the expanding needs of existing p g population, plus new population growth in the "Highlands" area of Renton. Although the shopping center itself should not place undue demands upon existing agencies and facilities, it is obvious that a grow- ing population does require additional services. Energy: Natural gas and electricity will be used in operating the shopping center. Sources of each are available at the site in quantities sufficient to meet the projected requirements . Utilities: Existing utilities, with some modifications, will be utilized to serve the site. There is presently a 12" water main in Sunset Boulevard, plus three 8" water mains in the public right-of-way. Two of these lie within fifty feet of the subject property, and the third lies approximately eighty feet from the property. As a part of the proposed construction, at least two of these lines will be connected to create a fire sprinkler "loop" . There is an 8" sanitary sewer in Sunset Boulevard with an invert elevation which provides adequate fall to permit a gravity-flow sewer to accommodate the commercial construction. The apartment units will either be tied to this same line or to an 8" line which exists near the southwest corner of the property. At pre- sent there are 4" gas mains in 132nd Avenue and in 142nd Avenue. A discussion with representatives of the Washington Natural Gas Company indicates adequate supply, and that depending upon their calculations and forecasts , this site could be served either by an extension of a 4" main or by a 2" gas line. Electrical and telephone services are available at the site. -13- Aesthetics : The entire project will be carried out with guidance and consultation from architects and engineers using the currently accepted practices and standards associated with high-quality shopping center development. The basic building will be of mason- ry construction with built-up roofs. The site will be landscaped and will convey a uniform architectural theme. Landscaping will be suitable to provide proper buffering of possible objectionable elements of the development including parking areas , loading areas, storage areas, and mass-walls of buildings. Recreation: N/A Archeological/Historical: There is no archeological nor histori- cal significance to the site. Schools : N/A Population Characteristics: A summary of the make-up of the pop- ulation from the 1970 U. S. Census data is to be found in Exhibit N. SHORT TERM vs. LONG TERM The proposed project is compatible with the City' s Land-Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the needs of the existing community. The project consists of commercial construc- tion oriented to the streets designed to bear heavy volumes of traffic, namely Sunset and Duvall. Interior streets, building placement, and landscaping will buffer the transition from com- mercial to residential utilization of the land. The shopping cen- ter is expected to continue serving the needs of the community for a period of twenty-five to fifty years. The subject site is not uniquely suited to any foreseeable alternative land use. The pre- sent demand for such use would likely be met at another site, if not permitted here, with relatively similar environmental imparts. Presuming that the needs of home owners and apartment dwellers -14- continue in a similar pattern to that which exists, or in a slowly evolutionary pattern, it is fair to presume that a shop- ping center of this scope, with the facilities and amenities which it provides, will make it possible for people to buy the goods and services they require for sustenance and for the care of their dwellings. The manner in which adverse impacts will be mitigated is discussed elsewhere in this report. Obviously, cer- tain resources in the form of building materials will be irre- trievably committed to the project, together with a long-term utilization of energy. MITIGATING THE ADVERSE IMPACTS The principal adverse impacts are either in the category of . water runoff, or the potential for constructing a project which is aesthetically displeasing. As elsewhere stated, the project will be carried out with careful attention to good design con- cepts and with the counsel of competent professionals in their fields of expertise. The requirements of this type of center dictate functional design and a high degree of utility. None- theless, the design can be, and will be carried out with an eye to good architectural practices and with the utilization of land- scaping to buffer the site and to prbvide added eye appeal . The "do nothing" alternative would probably result in another pro- ject of similar type at a future date. -15- I/ k___) / --.; •••*---,,,_._-_--e•-•--• Norweitan Point\ 4.V ,„nji, •: '--- .il(. • -ti„,;.i,"'...f,..:.): •,`,.-,-,-,4,--.-..... --\., - ,2 11r- oil 1111. 10.1 .

The review period for the draft statement expired on May 25 , 1977 . The final EIS is written lin the form of appendixes to ' the draft statement . It is necessary to have both volumes for a complete document . Review of• the draft statement by interested agencies and persons has been appreciated by this department . Thank you for the information provided through your responses . Very ruly yours , /rdon Ericksen Lanni Director GYE : MLS :wr 1 SUMMARY Nature of this Report: Final Environmental Impact Statement. Lead Agency: City of Renton, Washington Municipal Building 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, Washington 98055 Responsible Official: Gordon Y. Ericksen, Planning Director Planning Department Contact Person: Michael L. Smith Associate Planner Phone: (206) 235-2550 Action Sponsor: Loveless/Powell, Inc. Proposed- Action`s The action sponsor has requested approval by the City of Renton for a rezone from G, General Classification District, to B-1, Business District, and R-2, Residence District. Said rezoning would allow sponsor to receive necessary building permits for construction of a shopping center and 16-unit townhouse residential development. License Required: Rezone approval - City of Renton Building permit - City of Renton Indirect Source permit - Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency Various Inspection approvals - City of Renton Cost of Copies: $2. 00 each; available at the Renton Planning Department. Make checks payable to: City of Renton. Date of Issue: June 20 , 1977. -1- Summary of Environmental Impacts: 1. Increase in air pollution at the site during certain periods. (Increase will not exceed adopted State Standards. See Appendix A. ) 2. Potential increase in noise at site. (Increase will not exceed adopted State Standards. See Appendix A. ) 3. Increase in traffic. 4. Addition of impervious surfaces to site (structures and paving) will cover existing soil and potentially in- crease storm water runoff and water pollution. 5. Loss of existing vegetation on site. 6. The subject proposal could possibly impact land use in this area. This can be both a primary impact of the im- mediate project as well as a secondary impact through the stimulating effect on land use intensity in the area. 7. Increase in light and glare. Summary of Possible Mitigating Measures: 1. Careful design of parking and circulation areas to reduce traffic congestion and vehicle idling times. Dispersed access points around the shopping center will assist in minimizing pollutant concentrations. -2- • 2. Dust resulting from construction work can be minimized through proper water techniques. 3. Location of structures may assist in, reducing traffic related noise from adjacent properties. The use of properly maintained equipment will help reduce noise levels related to on-site construction. 4. Proper traffic control techniques, including proper access, traffic lights, well-designed parking and cir- culation will help in reducing the potential traffic impacts. 5. Proper storm water retention and oil/water separation facilities can be utilized to reduce the impacts of storm water runoff and water pollution. 6. Provision of sufficient landscaping and saving signifi- cant existing vegetation where possible will reduce im- pacts due to loss of vegetation on the site. 7. Proper landscaping and shielding of lighting will reduce impacts of light and glare. 8. Impacts on land use can be reduced through proper site planning, buffering, screening_ and access controls. Secondary land use impacts can be reduced through proper comprehensive planning and zoning controls. Proposed R-2 residential zoning within southerly portion of the subject site will create a residential buffer area be- tween proposed shopping complex and adjacent residential area. -3- Summary of Alternatives: 1.

They are in order of appearance: Section 1. Air Quality Section 2. Traffic and Circulation Section 3 . Land Use Section 4. Noise Section 5. Alternatives to the Proposal 7 ry -8- Section 1. ; Air Quality: We regret that this portion of the statement was inadver- tently omitted during the -.printing process. The following is the discussion of air quality which was intended to be included in the draft EIS. Data utilized by Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency in its review of an Indirect Source Permit for the subject proposal is also included in this section. Air Quality. Existing: The area is located within the Puget Sound Basin which has a typical Pacific Coast marine climate: Tempera- tures are generally mild and precipitation moderate. ' The average monthly temperature ranges from 40°F in January, to 65°F in July. The average annual temperature is 50°F. Pre- cipitation averages approximately 33 inches annually., Wind speed is relatively moderate in the area with the pre- vailing direction from the southwest. It is expected that the wind conditions on the. s,ite will be similar to those typical of this region, prevailing out of the south-southwest during the winter and out of the north-northwest during the ;summer. -9- Existing air pollution in the vicinity of the site is due primarily to carbon monoxide from existing traffic onadja- cent streets and surrounding human residential activity.. Environmental .Impact: The major pollutant from the proposed ' I center will be carbon monoxide associated with an expected in- crease in motor vehicle activity. Approximately 480 parking spaces will be provided for the shopping facility. The nation- al standard for particulate matter is 75 micrograms per cubic meter. The standard established by Washington State Department of Ecology is 60. Monitoring stations in the City of Renton have been experiencing 30 to 40 micrograms per cubic meter, well below the 6.0 micrograms standard. Although there will be increased traffic resulting both from the operation of the shopping center and from increased traffic volume on the road- ways , the impact of these additional pollutants will be negli- gible in terms of air quality standards, except under "worst case" conditions. There are no noxious odors, nor any heavy concentrations of 'smoke or fumes associated with the proposed development. Depending upon weather conditions, there would . be temporary dust associated with construction of the project. This will be mitigated by using water control and other methods to reduce dust. -10- An "Application For Review of an Indirect Source" is being filed with the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency by the applicant' s consultant, Douglas Mulvanny/Architects. A 24- hour traffic volume study conducted in 1976 revealed that there were 9, 545 cars per day passing the site on Sunset Boulevard and 3, 009 cars per day passing the site on Duvall Avenue. It is estimated that by 1980, average daily traffic volume (A. D. T. ) will range from 11,500 to 13, 300 on Sunset Boulevard and 3, 600 to 4,200 cars per day on Duvall Avenue N.E. The proposed shopping center is anticipated to create 1, 800 ve- hicle trips on an average day. The proposed multi-family units (approximately 16 units) will produce a total of approximately 160 vehicle trips per day. The contents of that application and the related "Traffic Study" are on file with the City of Renton. The application will be thoroughly reviewed by the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency and their comments will be available at a future date. Supplemental Air Quality Information: Supplemental air quality information is presented in the form of the Indirect Source Carbon Monoxide Analysis prepared by Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency. As can be seen by this analysis, the proposed project, although increasing carbon monoxide concentrations from the existing 2. 0 mg/m3 to approxi- -11- y - li mately. 3. 0 mg/m3 for an eight hour period, will not seriously approach the air quality standard of 10 mg/m3 . The site location on the pleateau, relatively free of ,topo- graphy which would reduce air circulation, as well as the relative low intensity of, both commercial and residential land uses, are important factors in determining the minor air quality impacts on the proposal. Central Highlands Plaza Indirect Source Carbon Monoxide Analysis Maximum Estimated CO Concentrations 1978 (mg/m3) Caline I Model EMP2 Model Case I: Receptor A-60° Wind Peak Hour 5.4 5.3 Peak 8-Hour 3.2 3.4 Case II: Receptor B-10° Wind Peak Hour 5.0 4.6 Peak 8-Hour 3.0 3.0 The above values include background concentrations of 3 mg/m3 (peak hour) and 2 mg/m3 (8-hour) and estimates shopping center at full usage ,in 1978. Receptor A is located immediately west of the center; B is located imme- diately south of the center. the air quality standard for carbon monoxide is 10 mg/m3, not to be exceeded more than once per year. 40 Diminishing_ or Mitigating Measures : Obvious mitigating measures for reducing air' quality impacts are related to national and state standards for control of automobile emis- sions. Other precautions ' should include proper design of -12- streets, intersections, parking areas, access points , and cir- culation in and around the subject site, thus reducing vehicle congestion and idling times. A new 5-phase signalization sys- tem with 8-phase capacity is proposed for installation during the summer of 1977 at the intersection of N. E. Sunset Boule- vard and Duvall Avenue N. E. (138th Avenue S. E. ) . Dust from construction activity can be controlled through proper water techniques and operational controls. • -13- Section 2. Traffic and Circulation. Existing Conditions : The air quality discussion included in Section 1. of this Appendix presents existing and projected 24-hour volumes for. those portions of both Sunset Boulevard and Duvall Avenue N. E. that are adjacent to the site. These should be helpful in reviewing potential traffic. increases as a result of the proposal. Existing volumes are presented in Exhibit K which appears at the end of this section. Environmental Impact: The Estimated Traffic Volume for the proposed shopping center is approximately 1, 800 to 2, 500 ve- hicle trips per day. .. The sixteen proposed multiple family units will create an additional 160 vehicle trips per day. The Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency estimates a peak Christmas volume of approximately 6, 700 vehicles for a 24-hour period. Both N. 'E. Sunset Boulevard and Duvall Avenue N. E. have been recently improved. The 40,000 vehicles per day mentioned in the draft statement was simply the design capacity of each of these facilities. Signalization is planned during summer, 1977, for the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Duvall Avenue N. E. Exhibit G of the draft statement represents the preliminary site plan for the proposed development. This -14- plan gives an indication of the proposed access, parking, and circulation elements. It appears that the existing street system with the proposed signalization at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Duvall Avenue N. E. will be more than adequate to handle the anticipated increase in traffic generated by the subject pro- posal. However, the importance of the signalization project must be emphasized. Without this significant traffic problems could be anticipated. Traffic impacts on other streets in the area will be minimal. Certain streets may exhibit increases or decreases in usage due to changes in routes to the new shopping facility in lieu of previous travel patterns to existing shopping areas. The road along the westerly edge of the subject site extending from the Honeydew Apartments to Sunset Boulevard N. E. will probably experience an increase in traffic due to utilization of the shopping facility by the residents of the. apartments. Trucks will serve the back of the buildings at the south end of the subject site for loading/unloading activities. This may. cause minor problems although the ground level of this area will range approximately 5 to 10 feet below the proposed multi-family units, thus creating a suitable separation from -15- adjacent uses. However, additional "buffering" in the form of fencing and landscaping will be necessary between the shop- ping facility and the proposed residential units. Mitigating Measures: The recent improvements to N. •E. Sunset Boulevard and Duvall Avenue N. E. , together with the signaliza- tion at the intersection, are the primary elements which help to mitigate the traffic impacts of the proposed project. Ad- ditional planned street improvements and access points will also help reduce future. traffic problems. The proposed multi-family residential, with sufficient screening, fencing and landscaping, together with the location of the structure, will also serve to lessen the impacts of the parking and traffic movements from adjacent land uses to the south and southwest. Care in the de- sign of the parking layout. and landscaping around the perimeter of the site and within the, interior of the parking lot will control traffic circulation, access, and reduce the visual and noise impacts associated with this activity. -16- • • ! coat.riELD1- • • • m -1 i-)1A F= 1-= 1 G TA I?_,U L_AT I C:)E-1 M _ PAST YEn, - !c>74, el AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC �tF'C r�;,) •• 2 :N 3t2'I N d ` 52,3 -- - 1 . : . .

Land Use. Existing Conditions : The approximate northerly half of the subject site is presently undeveloped. The southerly half of the site contains two single family residences together with appurtenant structures. These structures will be removed dur- ing the construction phase of the project. The site is located at a major intersection with commercial uses presently located at the other three corners. Several multi-family residential developments are located on the north side of Sunset Boulevard between Duvall Avenue N. E. (138th Avenue S.E. ) and Union Avenue N. E. (132nd Avenue S.E. ) . An existing access road is located along the westerly edge of the subject site. This is utilized as an alternate access to the 300± unit apartment complex (zoned R-3 on Exhibit E of the draft statement) located adjacent to the southwest corner of the subject site. Forty-eight feet of combined roadway and powerline easement is located along the southerly edge of the subject site. An existing church is located south of this easement area with its parking lot located directly adjacent.. Several existing single family residences are located south of the church. These residences presently attain access by an existing ease- -17- ment road extending north across the approximate middle of the site to Sunset Boulevard., The applicant plans to develop the area within the existing powerline and road easement to provide access to Duvall 'Avenue N. E. for these residences as well as the proposed multi-family units. Environmental Impacts: The impacts of the proposed project on land use in the area are best described as primary and secondary. The primary impacts of construction and operation of the facility are related to the increase in noise, traffic, and non-residential structures to the area. The nearest residential structure is the Honeydew Apartments . There may be -a slight increase in noise and traffic in the apartment area, but this will be primarily caused by establish- ment of new patterns through utilization of the new shopping area by persons residing in the complex. The proposed multi- family units will be directly adjacent to the northeast from these existing apartments. These land uses will be com- patible with the actual density of the proposed structure and substantially less than that of. the existing apartments. These proposed low density units should also be compatible . with the church use located south of the subject site, and will create a low density multi-family buffer or transitional area between the proposedcommercial activity and the existing single family residence area to the south. • -18- The secondary impacts of 'Ithe proposal will be to stimulate additional development in the area. This will probably consist of a mixture of commercial, multiple family and single family residential uses. The undeveloped area west of the subject site may be affected in this manner relatively soon, but for the most part, much will depend on continued demand and favorable money market. The area south of the subject site within King County is designated as single family resi dential, zoned SR, and designated as single family residential on the City's Comprehensive Plan. This area could "experience additional subdivision activity. Property is presently located north and east of the subject site across the intersection of Sunset Boulevard which is undeveloped or developed to an existing low intensity but may, as a result of the proposed development and existing growth pattern in the area, develop to higher intensity commercial and multiple family uses. A copy of the Renton Comprehensive Land Use Plan is provided as Exhibit D of the draft EIS. Existing zoning information is provided as Exhibit E in the draft EIS . Mitigating Measures: Mitigating measures for the subject con- struction and operation of the proposed development include proper control of construction techniques, watering of the site for dust control, and control of construction hours. As men- tioned in other previous sections, a well planned parking, -19- access and landscape/screening plan will be important in reducing impacts to adjacent land uses., The provision for the low density multiple family buffer, to- gether with the proposed access roads along the southerly and westerly borders of the site, will serve to isolate the commer- cial activity, thereby limiting encroachment into existing residential areas. The topography of the site is such that the commercial activity will be lower than the level of nearby residential uses. This reduces the impact of the buildings and related activity as well as making it easier to screen with landscaping and fencing. Secondary land use impacts can be reduced through proper comprehensive planning and zoning controls, to insure managed compatible growth and development. -20- Section 4. Noise. Existing Conditions : Washington State Environmental Noise Standards were presented in the draft EIS. Existing noise readings were taken on the site in four locations on or adjacent to the subject property shown in Figure 1. Values obtained are shown in Table 1. TABLE I EXISTING NOISE LEVELS IN dBA L10 L50 L90 Site 1. 67 60 52 Site 2. 56 52 50 Site 3. 57 53 48 Site 4. 58 55 49 These noise readings were taken on June 8, 1977, between 4 : 00 and 5 :30 P.M. with a Quest 215, Type 2 Sound Level Meter cali- brated with a Quest CA-12 Sound Level Calibrator. The weather was mostly sunny, temperature about 65°F, with winds less than 5 mph. Site 1. was located approximately 60 feet toward the center of the site from the intersection of N. E. Sunset Boulevard and Duvall Avenue N.E. and obviously showed the highest readings . Traffic fluctuated due to signalization along Sunset west of the site. Occasional trucks or cars with defective mufflers -21- produced noise levels of approximately 70-75 dBA, Site 2 . was near the center of the site. Birds in existing vegetation near the site interior created some fluctuation in noise levels , although traffic noise along Sunset Boulevard still created a majority of the higher readings, and had an overall effect on the noise readings at this point. Site 3. was located approxi- mately 60 feet from Duvall Avenue N.E. near the southeast cor- ner of the site. The lowest L90 was recorded at this location primarily due to the distance from Sunset Boulevard and the relatively low traffic volume along Duvall Avenue N.E. Traffic noise fluctuated greatly. The adjacent church was inactive at the time the readings were taken. Site 4. was located near the southerly end of the access road to Honeydew Apartments at the southwest corner of the subject site. Elevation is very simi- y _ lar to Sunset Boulevard and the effects of traffic noise along Sunset Boulevard were apparent in the survey results. Occasional traffic along the access road also created some higher readings. Environmental Impacts: The proposed development is expected to increase noise levels by approximately 2 to 8 dBA, depending on the location on the site, traffic volume, and the location of the receiving property. Noise readings were taken on and near similar commercial developments along Sunset Boulevard in the existing highlands shopping center. Average sound levels ranged -22- 4 from 52 dBA behind the store and adjacent to an existing resi- dential area, to 62 dBA within the store parking lot approxi- mately 60-70 feet from Sunset Boulevard. Given the distance of adjacent residential uses from 'the subject site, the proposed low density multi-family buffer, the relative lower elevation of the proposed commercial area from existing adjacent land uses, and the location of the main structure between the parking and access areas and the adjacent properties, the noise impacts will probably be minimal. However, higher noise levels will occur within the site and immediately adjacent to it, diminish- ing as the distance from the site increases . Mitigating g g Measures: u es: The site and location characteristics noted above, together with the building location, will assist in reducingnoise impacts). Proper site planning and screening may help control noise to some degree. Properly maintained equipment, suitable equipment operational techniques, and control of construction hours will help to reduce certain noise levels related to on-site construction. • -23- "I U , II' ' - kh- 0 • D 0 0 I D 0 0 0 CI 40. 5Noui.v?oi .1p-may3W 3SION *40150(5 Ea 0 46 dr San914 - ° 0 0 ID 0 0_ ..- .......... 0 , - 0 0 in ri ,i lizintm U '4141Y efted/iriall Sfe *.t' so YAW *SIvirs'att ' 210 'd vitt 'd US 4,1r. 7 Well 0 .,, i` iPAPS 5, t 1 d i C.

The "No Action" Alternative': A decision not to approve the • subject rezone and permit construction of the development as proposed would leave the site in its present state for an in- definite period. Although this action would temporarily delay conversion of the property to a more intensive use, it can be • • reasonably assumed that the property would be developed at some point consistent with the City' s Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The timing of such future development would depend upon con- tinued growth in the area, and favorable financial and money- . market elements. .; This action would also delay all of the en- vironmental impacts' discussed in this report, but •because of • the increasing demand in the general area, it can reasonably be assumed .that. similar developments would be constructed in the near future, either on the site or at other locations. Alternate Location: Thislalternative would have similar effects on the subject site as the "no action" alternative. Location of • ' the . proposal at another site may cause a reduction in environ- mental impacts due to different circumstances and characteris- tics at such •an alternate locations. However, there is also a good .possibility „that the project may cause the 'same or perhaps more substantial impacts at an alternate location. There exists no other site that is zoned Business within the service area • • 24 • - (primarily northeast Renton and the surrounding County area) intended for the subject commercial facility. (See Exhibit E, Zoning Map for area. ) The Renton Comprehensive Plan does in- dicate other possible commercial areas, but, as previously stated, the impacts would more than likely be similar. Project of lesser scope: 1The site could be developed with less intensive uses such as multiple or single family residential with a reduced commercial area. This would, however, create some similar impacts. The single family residential area would probably create the least impacts, although economically and aesthetically this use would not best be located at the subject site. The multiple family use would possibly have some lesser impacts than the proposed ,use, but would also create some dif- ferent impacts related more to social situations. Depending upon the ultimate density of such a use, traffic impacts could be similar and possibly more constant. There may also be a similar amount of total building area for such an alternative, although it would be dispersed more throughout the site. One of the ramifications of not utilizing a sufficient amount of property at a major intersection for such a commercial use is the possible creation of strip-commercial activity along the arterials. The commercial uses are needed as support facilities for the residential community, and it is important that they -25- are properly located to create as little adverse traffic, en- vironmental, and aesthetic impacts as possible. Project of Greater Scope: This alternative would have the obvious effect of increasing use intensity of the site, thereby increasing most of the impacts accordingly. This might include utilizing the area proposed for the low density multiple family buffer for commercial activity. This would not be a desirable alternative especially with regard to the resultant traffic, noise, and visual impacts on the nearby residential properties. It would also not be acceptable from a land use planning re- lationship, because of the incompatible interface created be- tween the highly intensive commercial use and the low intensive single family uses. The planned topographical break between the commercial and residential uses would also be eliminated. - I -26- APPENDIX B COMMENTS BY AGENCIES RESPONSE TO COMMENTS -27- RESPONS E NO. 1 • U. S.

The statement that SR 900 (Sunset Blvd.) and Duvall (138th) will have traffic capacities of 40,000 per day is very optimistic. If this should be true, the Department would be anxious to review supporting data so that we may plan to accommodate these volumes at other locations on SR 900. It is our opinion that the proposal will affect the traffic cap- acity of local roads and streets but insufficient data is presented to judge the impact and the severity of the impact.

Although we have no permit jurisdiction, the following comments are offered in the hope that they will be useful to you as you prepare your final impact statement. 1 - From reading the impact statement, it is not clear what the "significant adverse impacts" are that caused the City of Renton to declare an impact statement necessary. An impact statement is only. required 'when there are significant adverse impacts which the applicant is incapable or unwilling to mitigate. These significant adverse impacts should be high- lighted in the EIS.. 2 - In the introduction; the rezone should be listed as a required license. 3. The alternatives are quite lightly treated. The purpose of an EIS is to assess and weigh alternatives. You may wish to refer to the SEPA guidelines (WAG 197-10-440)(12) for guidance. Since this is a rezone, alternati',ve sites need not be restricted to those controlled by the applicant. 4 - Our Northwest Regional Office in Redmond is available for consultation and assistance on storm-water disposal matters. As plans are developed you or the applicant may wish to contact Mr. Mark Premo at ,885-1900. I hope that these brief comments will be useful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact me (206-753-6891 ) if you wish to discuss these matters further. Sincerely, T. L. Elwell .

SWC Sunset & Duvall, Renton A review of the subject draft by the Division of Hydraulics shows that the project is in a very critical hydraulics area. Due to the serious problems 'in the Honey Creek-May Creek drainage system, restrictions and requirements similar to those required by King County Ordinances #2281 and #2812 should be imposed on the project. a In the "Inter-Governmental Agreement. adopted by King County Council Motion #2788, the City of Renton has agreed to impose all the necessary restric • - I tions and requirements to stop any further deterioration and over loading . i of the drainage system. The project area presently provides natural re- tention which helps alleviate some of the drainage, flooding and erosion problems of the drainage system. The hydraulics study and design must: 1. Take into consideration and maintain the effects of the natural retention area. 2. Provide and maintain temporary sedimentation collection facilities to insure sediment laden water does not enter the natural drainage system. These facilities must be in operation prior to clearing and building construction, and satisfactorily maintained until construction and 'land- _ scaping-are completed and the potential for onsite erosion • has passed-. - • - 3. Provide and maintain pollution separation facilities to . insure pollutants from the site do not enter the natural ,drainage system. . -34 (a) - . Gordon Y. Erickson •:.�-4 T` June 6, 1977 Page Two (2) 4. Provide all the necessary maintenance easements and building setbacks, as required. If you have any questions regarding the above requirements, please contact Ed Andrusky of the Hydraulics Division on 344-3874. A Sincerely, 0/e///7-7 . R. HOREY, P! . County Road gineer DRH EA:lmw • -34 (b) - 1. Response ,to U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. We have included existing noise measurements and esti- . . mated noise level increases as a result of the proposed facility into Appendix A of the Final EIS . The proposed residences may receive adverse noise from the commercial activity at certain times of the day. The greatest impact will be caused by truck loading and un- loading activities behind the stores. This can be miti- gated to a certain degree by suitable fencing and land- scape buffering. The time of construction will be limited to normal working hours to minimize noise impacts on nearby residences. 2. Response to Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency. Thank you for your letter dated May 17, 1.977. The air quality section originally intended for the draft statement is presented in Appendix A of the final EIS . We regret that this section was inadvertently omitted. We feel that your comments will be answered by a review of this section. Your summary of the carbon monoxide concentrations estimated to exist following construction of the Central Highlands Plaza is included as an inset in Section l of Appendix A. We have been advised that the application for an Indirect Source Order of Approval for the subject proposal was approved by your agency on June 7, 1977 . -35- We thank you for your comments and information in pre- . paration of the final EIS. 3. Response to Department of Highways. Thank you for your comments contained in your letter dated May 18, 1977. We regret that the section containing traffic volume estimates was inadvertently omitted from the draft EIS. A copy of that section is presented in Appendix A of the final EIS. You will find that this section comments as to estimated traffic volume in the year 1980 . For further clarification, we emphasize that the 40, 000 vehicles per day was only intended to express the maximum design capacity as indicated by our Traffic Engineering Divi- sion. Additional discussion of the various traffic impacts, in- cluding effects on local streets, is 'presented in Appendix A of the Final EIS. 4. Response to Office of Community Development. Thank you for your letter dated May . 31, 1977. You have correctly observed that the proposal is compatible with the City' s Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the area. The land use impacts and certain potential mitigating measures were discussed' on pages 10 and 11 of the draft statement. , How- ever, additional discussion has been added as an appendix item in the final EIS. -36- 5. Response to Department of Ecology. Thank you for your letter dated May 17, 1977. Item 1. of your letter refers to your uncertaintly as to the Envir- onmental Impacts of the project which led to the decision to prepare an EIS. It was our opinion that the proposal ' s magni- tude, increased traffic generation, storm water runoff, noise, and potential land use implications, could have significant adverse impacts. An attempt was made to highlight the 'significant adverse impacts in the draft document. However, we have included ad- ditional discussion of certain critical elements in the, Final Environmental Impact Statement. We regret that the printer inadvertently failed to include page 7 into the draft docu- ment. This page discussed air quality and referenced a, traffic study prepared forl theIndirect Source Permit appli- cation to the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency. ; We have revised the introduction in the Final EIS, and listed the rezone as a required license. Your comment three relates to the alternatives of the subject proposal. , This section has been expanded per your request and included- into the Final EIS. • Although storm water disposal was a major concern, ade- quate storm water retention and oil/water separation facili- ties were listed as possible mitigating measures. Detailed plans meeting City of Renton and King County Inter-government -37- requirements for storm water retention and pollution separation facilities will be subject to review and approval by the City of Renton Public Works Department. Thank you for your offer of assistance on this matter. 6. Response to Metro. Thank you for your letter dated May 20, 1977. We are pleased to know that you have tentative plans for extending bus service along northeast Sunset. An extension of service, even during peak hours, will be appreciated by the citizens of our community. 7. Response to King County, Department of Public Works. We are likewise aware of the location of the project in a critical hydraulics area. The applicant has been advised of the requirements for storm water retention and pollution sep- aration facilities.. These requirements were discussed on page 3, and graphically presented in Exhibit "J" of the draft EIS. However, specific plans meeting City of Renton and the Inter-governmental Agree- ment adopted by King County Council, will be subject to review and approval of the Renton Public Works Department prior to. commencing construction on the site. Suitable temporary sedimentation collection facilities will also be required during site clearing, grading and con- -38- struction phases. Required easements and building setbacks will be pro- vided prior to final approval of any building or construction permits related to the project. -39-
