Warren, City Attorney CITY OF RENTON RE: Horbach/Mastro Easement Modifications Engineering Dept. Dear Rick: The documents presented to me are approved as to legal form. There are six instruments; three of which are Quit Claim Deeds from the city to H & M Associates IV, Horbach and Mastro's company. These three documents release easements held by the city. Correspondingly, there are three utility easements given to the city by Horbach and Mastro replacing the released easements. The reason for this exchange of easements is to have the easement location correspond to the actual location of the utility lines . I have not tried to check the legal descriptions as that is your department. The legal questions are few and reasonably simple, and have all been resolved to my satisfaction. Tactically, you suggest that we have the title company review the documents before the mayor signs them. Because of the time constraints involved I would suggest that we follow a parallel track and have the title company review the documents at the same time the mayor is signing them. The mayor could be informed that we are following this process in the interests of time, and that there might be minor modifications necessary at a later date. No-one would understand the amount of time that your office has expended on this potentially insignificant transaction. However, the benefit or detriment to Horbach and Mastro is great. I hope that they appreciate your efforts . (.274 ) Lawrence .

Background: At its meeting of September 9, 1991, the City Council concurred with a Transportation Committee report calling for the following actions: #1. Submittal by E & H Properties of a Letter of Credit in the amount of $63,750 to secure completion of neighborhood traffic mitigation. This $63,750 represented 150% of the $42,500 estimated cost of these improvements. These improvements consisted of: 1A. Speed bumps in alley between Meadow and Factory $1,500 1B. Curb bulb, south side of N. 4th and Garden Ave. $15,000 1C. 4th and Garden rechannelization $26,000 TOTAL + $42,500 x 150%= $63,750 #2. Submittal of a $44,296 Letter of Credit or other acceptable security device to cover E & H Properties share of the unfunded portion of the North Renton Transportation Study. #3. Release by the City of E & H Properties $807,000 Letter of Credit for the realignment of Garden Avenue contingent on the City of Renton receiving the $63,750 and the $44,296 security devices listed in items #1 and #2. #4. Acceptance of the Transportation Division report recommending that there is no credit to be allowed against the $1.1 million Letter of Credit posted by E & H Properties for general traffic mitigation in the North Renton area. Update: The following is an update on each of the previously described four items: #1. The City has now performed items of work #1A and #1C and is researching and compiling the final, actual costs. When all the bills for time and materials are totaled, that total will be the amount E & H'Properties owes the city for item CA- gitd Mr. Horbach will have to provide a $22,500 (15,000 x 1.5) Letter of Credit for item #1B. #2. and #3. The City has not received the Letters of Credit for $44,296 and for $63,750 and, therefore, has not released the $807,000 Letter of Credit for the realignment of Garden Avenue. #4. Mr. Horbach has not responded to a letter sent from the City last month requesting the payment of a $668,000 portion of the $1.1 million. The $668,000 was calculated based on budgeted capital improvement work scheduled for 1992 for projects in the North Renton area. A new letter is being drafted under which Mr. Horbach will be found to be officially in default after 30 days. At that point the City, under the agreement signed by Mr. Horbach securing the $1. 1 million, will be free to collect the $1.1 million from the Bank of California. This new letter will also inform Mr. Horbach that the City will release the $807,000 Letter of Credit upon his payment of$44,296 for item #2, his payment of an amount to be determined for items #1A and #1C and his providing a Letter of Credit for item f/1B.

(Title) (Name of Bank) 910 4th Ave . , Seattle, WA 98164 (Addrngs of i.?ank) ( Zip Code) CITY OF RENTON TRANSPORTATION SERVICES DIVISION MEMORANDUM DATE: July 24, 1991 TO: Lynn Guttmann, Public Works Director FROM: Mel Wilson, Transportation Systems Manager SUBJECT: E & H Mitigation The purpose of this memo is to report on my review of documentation regarding the E & H mitigation, and to present my recommendation regarding the amount of credit to be given to Horbach against the 1.1 million dollar bond. I have searched the files and reviewed several summaries. regarding E & H mitigation. o John Adamson memo of December 19, 1989. o Ann Santos memo of December 20, 1989, which provides documentation from Larry Warren's files. o Lynn Guttmann memo of March 27, 1990. o Peter De Boldt memo of May 2, 1990. In this review I have attempted to determine: 1. Items requested by the City Council which are not complete. 2. Authority for charging Horbach for completed and uncompleted items. 3 . Rational for determining the amount of credit to be given to Horbach against the 1. 1 million dollar bond. E & H Mitigati Page 2 The John Adamson document provides substantial evidence regarding items to be paid for by Horbach. Exhibit B provides a chart of 46 items to be charged to Horbach. These items come from several documents, including exhibits F and G, which are the declaration of non-significance mitigated for the two Horbach projects. The list of work items is also based on minutes of the various council meetings including the September 12, 1988 council meeting. The Ann Santos documentation includes a verbatim transcript from a portion of that meeting. This transcript indicates that Horbach has accepted responsibility for the 46 items and specifies the 6 items for which credit should be given against the 1.1 million dollar bond to the extent that they are identified as regional traffic improvements. The minutes of this council meeting also conditioned the permit upon the installation of a neighborhood mitigation program. On November 12, 1987, this neighborhood mitigation program was referred to a joint city/citizen committee as a condtion of traffic mitigation for site plan approval by the Council Planning and Development Committee. The neighborhood . protection program was subsequently identified in the July 25, 1988 council minutes, which established 20 items, including the North Renton traffic circles and diverters. It appears that responsibility for the 46 items can be validated. To determine work items that are not complete, I referred to the Peter De Boldt document. o Landscape traffic circles on North 5th Street and Williams, Wells, and Pelly Avenues North. o Traffic diverters at North 6th Street and Williams, Wells, and Pelly Avenues North. o Landscape traffic circle at North 1st Street and Pelly Avenue North. o Alley signing and speed bump. o Neighborhood landscaping and sign identification program. E & H Mitigatia`.. Page 3 o Widening of Park Avenue North between North 6th Street and North property line of the Park Plaza site. o Design and improve Park Avenue North between 5th Street and North 6th Street to a five lane section. For the matter of credit against the 1. 1 million dollar bond, I refer to the September 12, 1988 council minutes included in the Ann Santos summary package. The council minutes list six improvements which should be given credit against the 1.1 million dollar bond to the extent they are identified as regional traffic improvements from the North Renton arterial study. 1. Design a turn movement southbound on Park Avenue North at North 3rd Street to minimize conflicts in the left turning movement on to North 3rd Street, including any change in the signal. This item deals with a traffic improvement in the proximity of the project, handling both local and regional traffic. I recommend 50% of this item be credited against the bond. 2. Fund the North Renton Arterial study to evaluate our alternative 20 year development land use scenarios for the impact on the Transportation System. There are several pieces to this study. The Bill Popp North Renton Arterial Study cost $40, 000 and $20, 000 is non- regional. The NRF contract for the North Renton plan cost $60,329 and is not regional. The Tudor Engineering contract includes $10,600 of charges for the North Renton Arterial plan that are non-regional in nature. Public Works Department charges for the North Renton Plan are $17,550 of which 50% are non- regional in nature. E & H has paid $40, 000 and owes and additional $59,704. 3 . Reconstruct the intersection of Lake Washington Boulevard/North Park Drive/Garden Avenue North, to provide an additional eastbound lane on North Park Drive from North 10th to Garden Avenue North. E & H Mitigati= Page 4 4 . Re-align Garden Avenue North at North 8th Street to remove the existing dog leg. 5. Signalize the intersection of North 6th Street and Garden Avenue North. 6. Signalize the east and west legs of North 8th Street and Garden Avenue North intersection. Items 3, 4, 5, and 6 relate to upgrading Garden to Major arterial standards. The North Renton Arterial Plan calls for this street not to be upgraded. Therefore, these items can not be credited at part of the North Renton Arterial Plan. The $807, 000 bond for eliminating the dog leg on Garden Avenue should be released when Horbach has completed the forty-six (46) items as specified. I have reviewed the above recommendation for credit against the 1.1 million dollar bond with Larry Warren. He is in agreement with this recommendation. If this meets with your approval, I will brief the Transportation Committee and ask for a ruling by the City Council. As a parallel activity, I proposed to brief Council Transportation on the funding proposal for North .Renton projects and request approval to. proceed with the Park/Lake Washington intersection improvements, the North Renton Livable Streets, and design of Houser Way Relocated. With respect to items that have not been completed, I am preparing a separate action program to deal with these issues. MEW:lr/ps MEW338 , • CITY OF RENTON MEMORANDUM DATE: May 10, 1991 • TO: Larry Warren, City Attorney FROM: Mel Wilson, Transportation Systems Manager SUBJECT: E&H MITIGATION $1.1 MILLION DOLLAR LETTER OF CREDIT On April 18, 1991, the Transportation Committee reviewed the administrations report dated April 16, 1991, regarding E & H mitigation - 1.1 Million Dollar Letter of Credit. The Transportation committee made two requests: 1. That I review my recommendation for partial credit for costs incurred by Horbach for the North Renton Arterial Study. 2. That you obtain a Letter of Credit to cover any incompleted items before the Council will release the $807,000 Letter of Credit for elimination of the Garden Avenue dog leg. The basis for my recommendation for partial credit for the North Renton Arterial Study was the September 12, 1988, Council minutes. These minutes list this study as one of the six items for which Horbach could be given credit "to the extent they are identified as regional improvements from the study being prepared and then adopted by the City • Council." I took this statement to mean that credit could be given for the North Renton Arterial Studies to the extent that the studies dealt with regional issues. I identified the individual sub studies and estimated, by judgement, the portion of the study which dealt with I-405 overflow or regional pass through traffic. Based upon the Transportation Committee's questions, I researched the record in an attempt to establish the basis for including the North Renton Arterial Study as one of the six items to be considered for credit. I was unable to establish a basis. Item number seven in Council action of November 16, 1987, requires Horbach to fund the arterial study. ERC action of August 5, 1987, regarding the Park Plaza development establishes a basis for credit by stating that "the applicant will be given credit for off-site improvements identified in the North Renton Traffic Analysis Study that they have already funded." The reason for the September 12, 1988, council action including the study for possible credit is not clear. Is my original recommendation and interpretation of the September 12, 1988, minutes • correct or should this position be revised based on the ERC action which clearly refers to improvements as apposed to studies? With respect to incomplete items, I have prepared a summary categorizing these items according to responsibility. (see attached summary with costs.) Note that there was • disagreement at the Transportation Committee Meeting regarding responsibility for the rechannelization at the North side of the N 4th and Garden intersection. An improvement was installed presumably with City approval. This channelization is not effective. Who is responsible to pay for corrective channelization? • memosk&hmit3 MEW/ckd ' I E & H Mitigation Incomplete Items Project Cost Not Done: Horbach Install speed bumps in alley between Meadow and Factory $ 1,500 Install curb, south side 4th and Garden $15,000 Not Done: City or Horbach? 4th & Garden rechannel traffic (previous installation accepted by City does not work) $26,000 Not Done: City Neighborhood signs and landscaped entry (Parks) City Speed bumps in alleys between Garden & Meadow City Establish truck routes City Agreed Not To Do Landscaped traffic circle - 1st and Pelly None APR 1 7 1291 CITY OF RENTON MEMORANDUM DATE: April 16, 1991 TO: City Council, Attn: Transportation Committee VIA: Mayor Farl Clymer FROM: Ln ttmann, Administrator Planning Building/Public Works Department STAFF CONTACT: Mel Wilson, Manager, Transportation Systems SUBJECT: E &H MITIGATION $1.1 MILLION DOLLAR LETTER OF CREDIT (TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REFERRAL NO. 14) On September 12, 1988, the Council passed a motion concurring in a report presented by Larry Warren "that credit for six improvements should be given against the $1.1 million bond to the extent they are identified as regional improvements from the study being prepared and then adopted by the City Council." This matter is currently in Transportation Committee. See Referral Item Number 14. The purpose of this memo is to provide a recommendation for Council consideration in their determination of credit to be allowed against Horbach's $1.1 million dollar 'set a side' for these six items. Item 1. Design a turn movement southbound on Park Ave. N. at N. 3rd Street to minimize conflicts in the left turning movement onto N. 3rd Street, including any change in the signal. This improvement was required and constructed as site specific mitigation for E&H.Development. This improvement is not a requirement in the North Renton Transportation Plan. The Plan calls for downgrading N. 3rd to a residential street, which will eliminate.the need for this southbound left turn to N. 3rd on Park. Therefore, we recommend that no credit be given for this . improvement. ' E &H Mitigation Memo ' April 16, 1991 Page 2 Item 2. Fund the North Renton Arterial Study to evaluate alternate 20, year development land use scenarios for the impact on the transportation system. Several studies have been completed. The William Popp North Renton Study cost $50,615, according to Horbach's records. Additional work by Transpo cost $18,200, according to • Horbach's records. These studies responded to both regional issues and E&H development mitigation issues. Therefore, it is suggested that a credit of 50% or $34,408 be allowed. The Northwest Regional Foundation contract for the North Renton Arterial Facilitation Plan cost $60,329 and it is not regional in character or content. The Tudor Engineering contract includes $10,600 in charges for the North Renton Arterial Facilitation Plan that are non-regional in nature. Public Works Department charges for this North Renton Plan are $8,775. On this basis, Horbach should pay $79,704 less a credit of $34,408 for an amount due of$45,296.

Reconstruct the intersection of Lake Washington Blvd/N. Park Dr./Garden Ave. N. to provide an additional eastbound lane on N. Park Dr. from N. 10th to Garden Ave. N. This improvement was specifically stated as mitigation related to the E&H projects and has been completed. (See Committee of the Whole minutes of September 12, 1988.) There is nothing in the North Renton Transportation Plan that specifically requires this improvement; therefore, no credit is due on this item. • E &H Mitigation Memo April 16, 1991 Page 3 Item 4.

Item 4 has not been constructed. Items 5 and 6 have been constructed. The North Renton Arterial Plan calls for this street not to be upgraded; therefore, these improvements should not be credited as part of the North Renton Arterial Plan.

In order to completely review this topic, the committee also found it necessary to review the neighborhood traffic mitigation to be installed by E & H. It was determined by the committee that the neighborhood mitigation required of E & H has not been completed in its entirety. The cost to complete the neighborhood mitigation is estimated at $42,500.00 It is recommended that the Council require a Letter of Credit in the amount of one and one-half times this amount to secure the performance of E & H. If this mitigation is not completed by June of 1993, the Administration is authorized to exercise the bond for the purpose of completion. The committee was asked to review the $1.1 million bond posted by E & H for general traffic mitigation in the North Renton area. There were six possible items which could be credited against that bond at the present time. The Transportation Committee recommends that Council accept the recommendation of the Transportation Division which shows a net amount owing of $44,296.00 due to unfunded portions of the North Renton Transportation Study. E & H has posted an $807,000.00 Letter of Credit to secure the performance of realigning Garden Avenue, should it be required to do so. Because of the City Council adoption of the North Renton Transportation Plan and PACCAR's current construction proposal, it appears very unlikely that Garden Avenue will be realigned. The Transportation Committee therefore recommends that the City Council authorize release of the $807,000.00 Letter of Credit if and when the City receives the Letter of Credit in the amount of $63,750.00 to secure completion of the neighborhood traffic mitigation, as well as a Letter of Credit or other acceptable security device in the amount of $44,296.00 for unfunded portions of the North Renton Transportation Study. Two uncompleted items are the responsibility of the City of Renton. The City committed to establish a truck route ordinance and committed the Parks Department to install neighborhood signs and landscaped entries (not at City expense). The committee recommends a deadline of no Iater than June of 1993. for these items also. :Xl• i (3 aACA___ Bob Edwards, Chair Richard Stredicke, Acting Member haresa Zimmerman, embe� . • Copies : Mel' ' son Dan Clements CITY OF RENTON MEMORANDUM DATE: March 19, 1991 TO: Lynn Guttmann FROM: , �,u+Iel Wilson SUBJECT: E&H MITIGATION $1.1 MILLION DOLLAR LETTER OF CREDIT Attached is a copy of my proposed recommendation for consideration by the City Council.

The William Popp North Renton Study cost $50,615, according to Horbach's records. Additional work by Transpo cost $18,200, according to Horbach's records. A credit of 50% or $34,408 should be allowed as providing information regarding regional traffic patterns. E&H Mitigation Memo March 19, 1991 Page 2 The Northwest Regional Foundation contract for' the North Renton Arterial Facilitation Plan cost $60,329 and it is not regional in character or content. The Tudor Engineering contract includes $10,600 in charges for the North Renton, Arterial Facilitation Plan that are non-regional in nature. Public Works Department charges for this North Renton Plan are $17,550, of which 50% are non-regional in nature. On this basis, Horbach would owe$79,704 less a credit of$34,408 or$45,296. Item 3.

This improvement was specifically stated as mitigation related to the E&H projects. (See Committee of the Whole minutes of September 12, 1988.) There is nothing in the North Renton Transportation Plan that specifically requires this improvement; therefore, no credit is due on this item. Note that the North Renton Plan does call for additional improvements to this interchange to restrict the flow of traffic from Houser Way to Lake Washington Blvd. as a mitigation condition to the Boeing expansion. Item 4. Realign Garden Ave. N. at N. 8th Street to remove the existing dogleg. Item 5. Signalize the intersection of N. 6th and Garden Ave. N. Item 6. Signalize the east and west legs of N. 8th St. and Garden Ave. N. intersection. Items 4, 5 and 6 relate to upgrading Garden Ave. N. to meet principal arterial standards. The North Renton Arterial Plan calls for this street not to be upgraded. Therefore, these items should not be credited as part of the North Renton Arterial Plan. The $807,000 bond for eliminating the dogleg on Garden Ave. N. should be released when Horbach has completed all of the mitigation obligations. To summarize, our recommendation for Council consideration is that no credit be given for items 1, 3, 4, 5 or 6 and that a credit of $34,405 be allowed on Item 2, with an amount due on Item 2 of$45,296. The result of this action would be: o An amount due from Horbach of$45,296; o No credit allowed against the $1.1 million dollar Letter of Credit for area wide improvements; and o Return of the $807,000 Letter of Credit related to removal of the Garden Ave. N. dogleg, after all other obligations have been met.

Memo summarizing mitigation measures and Study Session... recommendations Other RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVALS: Legal Dept Refer to Transportation Committee Finance Dept.... Other FISCAL IMPACT: Expenditure Required... Transfer/Amendment.. Amount Budgeted Revenue Generated... SUMMARY OF ACTION: See attached CITY OF RENTON TRANSPORTATION SERVICES DIVISION MEMORANDUM DATE: July 3 , 1990 TO: Lynn G ttmann, Public Works Director FROM: Mel'W1 son, Transportation Systems Manager SUBJECT: E & H Mitigation The purpose of this memo is to report on my review of documentation regarding the E & H mitigation, and to present my recommendation regarding the amount of credit to be given to Horbach against the 1. 1 million dollar bond. I have searched the files and reviewed several summaries regarding E & H mitigation. o John Adamson memo of December 19, 1989. o Ann Santos memo of December 20, 1989, which provides documentation from Larry Warren's files. o Lynn Guttmann memo of March 27, 1990. o Peter De Boldt memo of May 2 , 1990. In this review I have attempted to determine: 1. Items requested by the City Council which are not complete. 2 . Authority for charging Horbach for completed and uncompleted items. 3 . Rational for determining the amount of credit to be given to Horbach against the 1. 1 million dollar bond. E & H Mitigatic- Page 2 The John Adamson document provides substantial evidence regarding items to be paid for by Horbach. Exhibit B provides a chart of 46 items to be charged to Horbach. These items come from several documents, including exhibits F and G, which are the declaration of non-significance mitigated for the two Horbach projects. The list of work items is also based on minutes of the various council meetings including the September 12 , 1988 council meeting. The Ann Santos documentation includes a verbatim transcript from a portion of that meeting. This transcript indicates that Horbach has accepted responsibility for the 46 items and specifies the 6 items for which credit should be given against the 1. 1 million dollar bond to the extent that they are identified as regional traffic improvements. The minutes of this council meeting also conditioned the permit upon the installation of a neighborhood mitigation program. On November 12 , 1987, this neighborhood mitigation program was referred to a joint city/citizen committee as a condtion of traffic mitigation for site plan approval by the Council Planning and Development Committee. The neighborhood protection program was subsequently identified in the July 25, 1988 council minutes, which established 20 items, including the North Renton traffic circles and diverters. It appears that. responsibility for the 46 items can be validated. To determine work items that are not complete, I referred to the Peter De Boldt document. o Landscape traffic circles on North 5th Street and Williams, Wells, and Pelly Avenues North. o Traffic diverters at North 6th Street and Williams, Wells, and Pelly Avenues North. o Landscape traffic circle at North 1st Street and Pelly Avenue North. o Alley signing and speed bump. o Neighborhood landscaping and sign identification program. E & H Mitigat! - Page 3 1 o Widening of Park Avenue North between North 6th Street and North property line of the Park Plaza site. o Design and improve Park Avenue North between 5th Street and North 6th Street to a five lane section. For the matter of credit against the 1. 1 million dollar bond, I refer to the September 12, 1988 council minutes included in the Ann Santos summary package. The council minutes list six improvements which should be given credit against the 1. 1 million dollar bond to the extent they are identified as regional traffic improvements from the North Renton arterial study.. 1. Design a turn movement southbound on Park Avenue North at North 3rd Street to minimize conflicts in the left turning movement on to North 3rd Street, including any change in the signal. This item deals with a traffic improvement in the proximity of the project, handling both local and regional traffic. I recommend 50% of this item be credited against the bond. 2 . Fund the North Renton Arterial study to evaluate our alternative 20 year development land use scenarios for the impact on the Transportation , System. There are several pieces to this study. The Bill Popp North Renton Arterial Study cost $40, 000 and $20, 000 is non- regional. The NRF contract for the North Renton plan cost $60, 329 and is not regional. The Tudor Engineering contract includes $10, 600 of charges for the North Renton Arterial plan that are non-regional in nature. Public Works Department charges for the North Renton Plan are $17, 550 of which 50% are non- regional in nature. E & H has paid $40, 000 and owes and additional $59,704. 3 . Reconstruct the intersection of Lake Washington Boulevard/North Park Drive/Garden Avenue North, to provide an additional eastbound lane on North Park Drive from North 10th to Garden Avenue North. 4 . Re-align Garden Avenue North at North 8th Street to remove the existing dog leg. E & H Mitigati-"_ Page 4 5 . Signalize the intersection of North 6th Street and Garden Avenue North. 6 . Signalize the east and west legs of North 8th Street and Garden Avenue North intersection. Items 3 , 4 , 5, and 6 relate to upgrading Garden to Major arterial standards. The North Renton Arterial Plan calls for this street not to be upgraded. Therefore, these items can not be credited at part of the North Renton Arterial Plan. The $807 , 000 bond for eliminating the dog leg on Garden Avenue should be released when Horbach has completed the forty-six (46) items as specified. I have reviewed the above recommendation for credit against the 1. 1 million dollar bond with Larry Warren. He is in agreement with this recommendation. If this meets with your approval, I will brief the Transportation Committee and ask for a ruling by the City Council.` As a parallel activity, I proposed to brief Council Transportation on the funding proposal for North Renton projects and request approval to proceed with the Park/Lake Washington intersection improvements, the North Renton Livable Streets, and design of Houser Way Relocated. With respect to items that have not been completed, I am preparing a separate action program to deal with these issues.

DATE: August 24, 1989 TO: Larry Warren, City Attorney FROM: Rick Harbert, Acting City Enginee RE:' Horbach/Mastro Easement Modifications SUBJECT PROPERTIES: Park Plaza Site Garden Plaza Site 5th and Park Building Site Attached hereto are the six (6) draft instruments required to clear the title to Boeing on the Horbach/Mastro sale of Park Plaza, Garden Plaza, and 5th and Park properties. Three (3) of the instruments are Quit Claim Deeds, releasing the City's interest in easements, and upon your approval, require the Mayor's signature. The other three instruments are easements executed by Horbach/Mastro, the intent and explanation of which are covered in the previous packets to you. We have incorporated the agreement language into the 5th and Park Building easement, which covers the electric transformer per your request. The by-laws of Horbach's company and a certified copy of partnership are attached, stating who can sign legal documents for the subject properties. It is my recommendation that draft copies of these six (6) instruments be presented to Horbach's Title Company for review before the Mayor signs the QCD's. I am satisfied the content and legal description language accomplishes everything needed to clear title for Horbach, while at the same time protecting and reserving the City's easement rights. We await your approval regarding the legality of the documents prior to our releasing draft copies to Horbach's Title Company.

EWING AND ASSOCIATES -. .,;'; • • .,: • CITY OF RENTON • MEMORANDUM DATE: July 13, 1989 • • TO: Renton City Council Members • FROM: Richard Stredicke, Council Presiders SUBJECT: North Renton One of the mitigation measures for the E 8 H Properties was the development of an arterial plan which would serve the needs of the North Renton community for the next 20 years. Some of the alternative arterial street concepts which were developed raised concerns for the citizens in the North Renton end Kennydale neighborhoods. Thus far, a solution which addresses both the concerns of the residents and the long-term transportation needs has not been found. Boeing and PACCAR have announced major development proposals. Environmental Impact Statements are being prepared for each development. Each development will have impacts on the existing transportation system which will need to be mitigated. The most desirable solution would be that both Boeing and PACCAR would assist in implementing a City adopted long-term transportation plan. However, since that plan is not yet in place, an alternative course of action must be pursued. The staff recommends the following course of action: 1. The City's consultants will prepare Boeing and PACCAR.EIS documents and: a) Analyze the existing traffic condition in North Renton; b) Analyze the anticipated condition of the arterial system at the time each development is fully operational (Boeing 1990 and PACCAR 1993); • c) Analyze the arterial system for the year 2000; d) Based upon arterial network deficiencies for the horizon year (1990 for Boeing and 1993 for PACCAR), propose a mitigation program for Boeing and PACCAR to address those deficiencies and identify their"fair share" of the cost. The staff have asked the Boeing and PACCAR EIS consultants to coordinate development of the individual mitigation programs. At the conclusion of the SEPA process, Boeing and PACCAR will be asked to post a performance bond representing their "fair share." These funds will then be used to implement the arterial plan eventually adopted for North Renton. • Renton City Council Members Page 2 July 13, 1989 2. On a parallel path, the staff will initiate a process to identify an arterial plan that will meet the future needs of North Renton and address the immediate concerns of the North Renton residents. This will be accomplished by retaining a consultant team to: a) Meet with all interested parties. b) Define the interest of all parties involved. c) Facilitate the identification of three to five alternatives that address the interests of all parties. d) Prepare and deliver presentations to the community and the City Council. e) Support the City Council in their efforts to make a final decision. While not legally mandated, our goal is to complete the decision-making process regarding the North Renton Plan prior to the issuance of the Final EIS for the Boeing and Kenworth projects. This results in a very aggressive schedule for our deliberations since the EIS documents are expected to be complete in late October. Given the significance of our decision and the public interest in this effort, 1 believe the situation warrants our commitment to accept the timeline as proposed. The Administration has accepted responsibility for taking whatever steps are necessary to assure that the public and staff review moves forward without unnecessary delay. I ask you to concur with me in ratifying the problem solving approach proposed by the Administration by signing in the space provided below.

Moved by NYBERG. seconded by SPRINGER, to approve variance for driveway elevations at 800-850 Rainier Ave. N.. ver the revised calculations of Mr. ,Blaylock. MOTION CARRIED. E&H Properties - Park and Garden - Continued from April 26. 1989, Eugene Horbach, representing E&H Properties, acknowledged receipt of letter dated May 2, 1989, from John Adamson, City of Renton Program Development Coordinator, requesting a $768,600 bond for 100% of the Engineer's Estimate for Garden Avenue Realignment. Mr. Horbach petitioned the board to reduce their commitment of five year bonding to three. Larry Warren explained that because PACCAR is presently involved with DOE and perhaps EPA, that the timing of this project is too uncertain and it may well go beyond a 3-year time period. The standard terms stated in City ordinance is a one-year bond, renewable for five years, until project completion. In response to Mr. Aramburu's comments regarding City Council minutes of 9/12/88, it was stated that E&H Properties must submit a bond or other security acceptable to the City Attorney in an amount to guarantee the project can be constructed at a later time. Mike Parness commented that the cash bond needs to be in place according to standard terms before this issue can be dealt with. Larry Warren suggested 'the money be put in an escrow or savings account that is blocked as to withdrawal except with consent.by both E&H and the City, thereby no interest payments or premium costs. A system such as this is preferable to the City and might be less expensive for E&H. ' , The following Action Plan was compiled after lengthy discussion: ACTION PLAN What Who By When 1. Accept project costs - $807,000 ($768,000 plus 10% contingency on construction costs. BPW 5-3-89 2. Reaffirm "standard" of bond: a. 1-yr/renewable 5 yrs. i • BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS May 3, 1989 Page 3 ACTION PLAN What Who By When b. Cash bond/Letter of Credit/Other Security BPW. 5-3-89 3.

E&H 6-7-89 Moved by SPRINGER, seconded by NYBERG to accept the Cost Estimate of S768,000 for the Garden Avenue Realignment and include a 10% contingency bringing the total bond amount to $807,000. Moved by SPRINGER, seconded by MATHEWS, to amend the motion to. include that standard terms for the bond be applied which is a one-year renewable cash bond for five years, or comparable security. MOTION CARRIED. Ken Nyberg stated, "if we do not receive notification by the close of business today (May 3, 1989), then tomorrow (May 4, 1989) I will notify the tenants that there is no temporary certificate of occupancy on the building and direct them to evacuate the buildings." Chair Guttmann referenced board minutes of April 26, 1989, wherein the above action was also documented. Mr. Horbach stated he intended to put the bond up today. (May 3rd) In reference to E&H approaching the City Council to reduce the $1.1 million bond and proposal of a property bond in lieu of cash: Mike Parness suggested E&h send a written request to the Mayor and City Council, whereupon it will be put on the Council's agenda. The Mayor will be asked to recommend referral to a Council Committee and the Board of Public.Works will provide information regarding the status of the mitigation efforts in order to provide timely input going for the Council meeting. Larry Warren cautioned E&H about being premature in approaching the Council. He suggested the $807,000 bond should be posted prior to appealing the status of the $1.1 ; i ' BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS " May 3, 1989 Page 4 million bond. The regional nature of the improvements are to be established by the City Council after reviewing the North Renton Transportation Plan. That has not been done so there is no determination of the nature of the regional improvements. John Adamson commented there is a mixture of both regional and site specific mitigation improvements covered by the $1.1 million bond. Chair Guttmann requested Mr. Adamson to prepare a draft of what ultimately would become the Public Works' report to the City Council re a list of the mitigation 48 items, advising the value and how that relates to the $1.1 million bond. Larry Warren requested the original bond be sent to Lynn Guttmann; that..a copy be faxed to his office, and, he will, in turn, contact Ken Nyberg with his concurrence. Discussion ensued on past policies and it was determined more time is necessary for staff to review applications. Prior to Board discussion, staff comments must be documented. Applicants should be notified during the permit process of the underground requirements. • 8 COMMENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: None 9.

Pl. SA and CU-052- development of a mini-storage warehouse. The Committee met on 4/20/89 to 88 consider the matter. The site plan portion of the applicant's request had been remanded to the hearing examiner by the City Council for further consideration of issues concerning aquifer protection, a surface drainage collection and monitoring system, traffic impacts, landscaping, and setbacks. The hearing examiner approved the short plat and site plan subject to numerous conditions. The applicant appealed from decision #1 approving the short plat on the condition that lots #1 and #2 of the plat have a shared driveway, and that only one driveway should intersect Sunset Boulevard North to serve both parcels. The applicant also appealed a decision conditioning the site plan approval on the following condition: "13. All floor drains and storm water drains shall be routed to the sanitary sewer system." With respect to the condition imposed on approval for the short plat, the committee found that the hearing examiner committed a substantial error of fact in concluding that the applicant had modified its submission to provide for only one driveway for lots #1 and #2 intersecting Sunset Boulevard. The hearing examiner misunderstood the applicant's testimony. The applicant is willing to impose cross-easements between lots #1 and #2 as a condition of the site plan approval. The applicant has further testified that he will ensure the existence of a second emergency access for the fire department to lot #1. The committee believes that the question of access to lot #2 should more properly be addressed at the time of the site plan approval on lot #2. As to condition #13 recited above, the committee finds that the hearing examiner committed a substantial error of law in finding that the storm water run-off could be routed to the sanitary sewer system. The staff has confirmed that Metro prohibits routing storm drainage into the sanitary sewer system and, therefore, that portion of condition #13 conditioning approval on routing storm water to the sanitary sewer system is in error. The Planning and Development Committee recommended to the City Council that the applicant's appeal be granted conditioned upon the granting of cross- easements between lots #1 and #2, and the applicant ensuring the continued existence of a second emergency access for the fire department to lot #1. Upon Council inquiry, Mr. Reed explained that the hearing examiner's concerns regarding possible leakage of hazardous materials from the storage units into the drainage system have been addressed by the applicant through design and monitoring of a drainage collection facility.

MOVED by PARNESS, seconded by NYBERG, to approve the permit subject to the standard conditions of a monthly fee of $79.37 per month and liability insurance coverage; and also that Mr. Kerb be notified that given the fact there will be construction in this area, the permit could likely be revoked: but if he still wants to pursue the matter a 30-day revocable permit will be issued. MOTION CARRIED 7. OLD BUSINESS: E&H Properties - bond status - continued from last week. Representatives from E&H and the Boeing Company were present to discuss the matter of the proper bond being BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS April 19, 1989 Page 2 posted for a deferral request granted on March 8, 1989. The applicant stated he was unaware that another bond had to be posted given the fact they have posted several bonds already. Mr. Parness explained the deferral process, advising that Ron Nelson can not allow permanent occupancy of buildings until the conditions of the deferral have been met, one of those conditions being a bond posted within a 30 day period of time. Discussion followed about the amount of money required for this particular bond. It was pointed out that the Board of Public Works meeting minutes specifically distinguished what was needed and that the 3rd paragraph of Mr. Horbach's attorneys letter validated that requirement. George Boyd, E&H, suggested that $700,000 would be an appropriate figure for the remaining items and asked if they could have a few days in which to come up with a cost estimate. Zanetta Fontes of the City Attorney's office agreed to one week's delay. Lynn Guttmann, Chair, suggested that the City might want security with the property, not with the owner, because the buildings can be sold. Mr. Horbach indicated he would be assuming the responsibility of the security even though buildings might be sold; and, he advised he recently submitted his financial statement to the City Attorney and wanted to.` discuss this with Chair Guttmann at a later date. Chair Guttmann stated this was risky for the City, • expressing the concern that financial statements change and that another asset should be taken in lieu of a financial statement. A question was asked relative to what the procedure would be if a bond was not posted. Mike Parness reiterated that the Building Official has no option but to request the building(s) be vacated. Mr. Terry Lewis, representing the Boeing Company, told the Board members it would be impossible to vacate within a week's time. The Board determined that Bob Bray, Engineering Division, and George Boyd, E&H, work together to estimate the bond amount. Moved by SPRINGER, seconded by PARNESS, to table the matter for one week at which time they will reconsider granting a new deferral.

Install the traffic circles and diverters if response is favorable. Background: Last July, eight traffic circles and/or diverters were proposed as part of the neighborhood traffic mitigation for the E & H Properties, Inc. , development of Park and Garden Plaza office buildings. The adjacent residential property owners were queried as to the acceptability of the traffic control devices. If a majority of the neighboring residential property owners wanted the circle or diverter, it was to be installed. In September, the Traffic Engineering Staff reported to the Council that only one circle was requested. At the Council meeting of September 26, 1988, the neighborhood committee requested that they be allowed to work with the staff to re-design the proposed traffic circles/diverters and again canvass the neighbors. The revised proposals and designs are attached. Action Requested: That the City Council authorize the City Staff to send the attached letter to the neighboring residential property owners. The responses are to be returned within six weeks from the date of the letter.

Guttmann Publ'i Works Director JRA Attachments Mr. North Renton Homeowner Subject: Proposed Traffic Diverters in North Renton Dear Property Owner: The Renton City Council directed the city staff and a committee of North Renton citizens to develop a plan to promote the residential character of your neighborhood. This plan includes the installation of traffic circles and diverters at specific locations. It is our hope that this plan will result in drivers reducing their speed and will protect the neighborhood from increased traffic. The installation of these traffic circles and diverters will be paid by the developer of the new Garden and Park Plaza office buildings (E & H Properties, Inc.) This means that if you and your neighbors elect to have a circle or diverter installed, it will be done AT NO COST TO YOU. You and your neighbors are being asked to approve the traffic control circle or diverter shown on the attached plan. We have revised this plan in direct response to your comments regarding the ideas presented in the previous letter, dated August 30, 1988. This new plan does not remove existing parking. If a majority of the owners of residential property in your neigh- borhood want the device installed AND so indicate by returning the attached response form to the City of Renton Traffic Engineering Division by (six weeks from date of letter) , the traffic control device will be installed. There will be a six-month trial period. During this six-month period following the installation of all traffic diverters, the City Traffic Engineering Division will monitor the traffic activity. A report of the impact of the traffic control devices will be forwarded to the City Council . If you have any questions please call Theresa Zimmerman, a North Renton neighbor, at 226-0445, or John Adamson, Program Development Coordinator for the City of Renton Traffic Engineering Division, at 235-2620. Theresa or another one of your neighbors may soon be contacting you about the plan. Please check the appropriate space on the attached form, sign and return it to the City of Renton, Traffic Engineering Division, 200 Mill Ave. South, Renton, Washington 98055.

This brought to mind the need for continuing input to the community and from the community when large projects are on the horizon, when such projects have the potential for great impacts on neighborhoods. Because of this , we respectfully ask the Mayor and the Council to activate that citizen-resident portion of the planning committee for North Renton/Kennydale. Those resident members were Darrell Igelmund and Garry Smith of Kennydale and Theresa Zimmerman and Versie Vaupel of North Renton, with Marge Richter as the alternate. This committee of residents would appreciate meeting soon with three city officials , namely, Ken Nyberg (because he is the liaison with Boeing) , Lynn Guttmann (because of her position covering her Traffic Engineering responsi- bilities) , and John Adamson (because he has been working directly with residents in North Renton on the diverter matters) .

Individual agencies, in most cases, cannot adequately address the needs without working in partnership with other agencies. It is therefore important that housing authorities with experience in major housing rehabilitation projects be allowed to compete for their funds. It is our understanding that a proposed rule would restrict applicants to only those who are currently funded for the moderate rehabilitation program, thus excluding those who have major rehabilitation experience as well as those who have little experience. Currently, there is a project in our area that could go forward if the Housing Authority of King County were allowed to utilize McKinney Act Funding. We anticipate there will be similar. partnerships in the future, not only with the Housing Authority of King County, but also with the Renton Housing Authority. We urge you to consider a rule change that will allow PHA's with major rehabilitation experience to receive McKinney Act funds.

OLD BUSINESS: E&H Properties - Reconsider Garden Avenue Realignment. John Adamson advised that this issue had not been completely addressed at the last meeting. EPA has designated this as a Super Fund site and we (the City staff) asked for a new/additional security. He felt the matter could be taken care of by deferring the issue for an additional 60 days. The amount of the security is $1,000,000 and to date we have not received it but it should be forthcoming within two weeks, per applicant. Mike Parness stated that once permanent occupancy is given the ability to obtain the security could conceivably be lost. John indicated it will take as little as 2-3 weeks to secure a bond. Ron Nelson said they could hold up on issuance of occupancy until the matter is" resolved. Discussion evolved ref. temporary occupancy. Ken Nyberg indicated he would be willing to allow a 30 day time extension for the acquisition of the security. Moved by PARNESS, seconded by MATTHEW, to clarify the record (last week's minutes), showing that the bond required for Garden Avenue realignment as stipulated by the City Council will be a separate document, acceptable to City Attorney, and such bond is not linked to the bonds required for the other improvements designated at last week's meeting. MOTION CARRIED Everett Avers. Letter of Agreement - B. Bray to report. Completed, remove from agenda. • TCI Letter from Lon Hurd. Continued from 3-8-89. Tabled for one week Harlan Grohs request for Release of Portion of Easement on N.W. 4th St. Discussion followed relative to the applicant wanting to build a house and asking for as much of the easement as he possibly could get. The applicant's representative stated that a water line in that area was abandoned; U. S. West has buried lines which the applicant would be willing to move at their own expense; Washington Natural Gas has no line in the area; and, all:of Puget Power's lines are overhead. Grohs wants to reduce the easement on the north side of the centerline and advised they would be •building within 7 1/2 feet of the sanitary sewer. This creates a problem for Board members. It was noted that this type of request had not formerly been submitted to the Board of Public Works; however, a check of the City ordinance revealed that this does fall within the scope of the Board's responsibility/authority. Public Works Staff was asked to prepare a recommendation for submittal to Committee. Moved by PARNESS, seconded by SPRINGER, to concur with recommendation of the Public Works Department staff and pass such recommendation to the Utilities Committee for resolution.

Ron Nelson explained that the temporary occupancy permit was expiring and a few improvements are not quite completed. Moved by NELSON, seconded by MATTHEW, to grant a 90 day deferral for landscaping and a second lift to roadway asphalt, subject to standard bonding requirements. MOTION CARRIED 7. OLD BUSINESS: II a. E&H Properties (Park Plaza) & (Garden Plaza) - continued from two weeks ago. John Adamson, Traffic Engineering Division, listed the items to be completed prior to final occupancy: a) install c-curb on Park Avenue for 100 feet north of the north entrance to the Park Plaza Garage; b) install street name signs on all traffic signals; c) install channelization on N. 5th at Park Ave; d) install the interconnect wire from the N. Park/Lake Washington/Garden intersection to the signal box at N. 8th. Also, following items may be bonded and should be completed as soon as possible: e) install traffic signal bridge at Lake Washington/Park Garden intersection; f) install channelization at Lake Washington/Park Garden intersection; g) complete punch list of items on all traffic signals; h) install all of the requested traffic circles and diverters as requested by the North renton Neighborhood and City Council. Part of the bond must be retained until a decision is reached on the realignment of Garden Avenue. Discussion ensued on many of the items, i.e. Mr. Horbach stated he objected to the matter of street name signs as he claimed it was never brought to his attention. John Adamson explained this is a part of the standard design specifications and that a verbal agreement had been made as part of the original process. Chair Guttman stated an investigation into the matter of a verbal agreement and referral to standard specifications for definitive clarification would be accomplished. Mr. Horbach was also concerned with the $7,000 it would • allegedly cost to install street name signs, as well as the costs of all the items listed. Concern was expressed by two citizens present, Versie Vaupel and Theresa Zimmerman, insofar as completion of the circles and diverters i.e. landscaping, and maintenance and in a timely manner. They felt this had been an ongoing issue since last August. Although the original Neighborhood Committee, of which they were a part, discussed the neighborhood maintaining the circles it was stated I S ill BOARD OF.PUBLIC WORKS March 8, 1988 Page 3 III III they never made a firm decision on design criteria except insofar as landscaping. Mr. Horbach said he thought the Committee initially had indicated they would assume maintenance costs and suggested the City initially also discussed the possibility; however, Mr. Parness stated it was clearly designed to be landscaped otherwise the irrigation system would not have been installed (which it was). Chair Guttmann stated it is merely a matter of who is going to plant what kind of plant. Mike Parness said the Parks Department needs to look at this and see what the area needs. Since planting can not occur until spring which is another few weeks away, the City staff has time to look at the area. Ms. Vaupel wanted assurances as to a time frame. The Project Engineer, Mr. George Boyd, said he can not give those kinds of assurances because he had already been faced with a strike, acts of God, i.e. two snow storms, etc. Ms. Vaupel said this had been ongoing since August of 1988. City staff said that in reality it has only been ongoing since December of 1988. I, Mr. Boyd,addressed each item as follows: a) c-curb will be installed 100 feet north; b) it will take four weeks to install street name signs; c) two weeks needed to do channelization; d) one week to accomplish interconnect wire; e) scheduled to do signal bridge on the weekend - March 11-12th; f) channelization at Lake Washington/Park Garden intersection to be accomplished in conjunction with item e); g) punch list items 50% completed - will finish within two week period; and, h) circles and diverters - start construction within two weeks, two weeks to complete, subject to approval by the City. Ii Moved by SPRINGER, seconded by MATTHEW, to grant a 60 day deferral on the punch list items so Ron Nelson can issue Certificate of Occupancy on two buildings, subject to bonding requirements; investigate issue of standard specifications ref. sign names; determine who will do landscaping, (plant what plants). MOTION AMENDED: retain the bond monies until the matter of circles and diverters has been completed. .i1 ,I; b. Gustine Short Plat - continued from 2-22-89 -- Tom Touma, representing the applicant, asked for a clarification of items listed on the restrictive covenant (submitted by City staff). The City Attorney was present and acknowledged the restrictive covenant, as amended, was acceptable as to form. Applicant will be ,p advised in writing of the Board's decision of February 22nd and will be requested to sign the restrictive covenant. c. Henderson Homes - continued from 2-22-89. Dick Shaffer, representing Henderson Homes, was present and explained that the storm and water systems are all in and approved (water system in the process of being tested). He expects Il completion within a 90 days period of time ref. curbs, gutters, sidewalks and street lighting and would like the completion and recording of the plat to be simultaneous. Also he has bonded to assure this. The concern expressed by Board members involved the fact that once the plat is finalized and issued the City would be issuing permits when the total infrastructure was- not in place. Discussion followed. Moved by SPRINGER, seconded by MATTHEW, to grant a 90 day deferral beginning this date for curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street lighting ,G I'll • _ u ill °I; BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS March 8, 1988 Page 4 li and final lift for paving; plat will not be recorded until a list of infrastructure items signed off by Bob Bray, Public Works Department; conditioned upon bonding requirement.

John Adamson, Public Works Department, reported that following approval of the diverters by North Renton residents and City staff, E & H Properties was notified on 12/23/88 to proceed with design and installation of the circle. Plans were obtained from the City by E & H representatives on 01/05/89; however, although the developer has been contacted on several occasions, the traffic circle has not yet been constructed. Mr. Adamson advised that a firm construction completion date will be provided by E & H Properties by 3/8/89. Councilman Stredicke suggested that the bond posted by E & H Properties for the project be called by the City to complete the traffic circle. Letter from Theresa Zimmerman, Secretary for the North Renton Citizens' Advisory Committee, was entered which stated that all mitigation measures were adopted at one time; however, the majority of diverters are not yet in place. The letter also stated that the diverters were to be assessed six months after occupancy of the E & H buildings or six months after installation of diverters, whichever came later. Mayor Clymer agreed to provide a status report on this matter by next week. CONSENT AGENDA Items on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the listing.

This issue was discussed at the end of the meeting and several people were already leaving. The Committee's intention was to approve the proposal, but staff has reservations about this provision and would like to explain their concerns to the Council. Public Works was still there and agreed that this striping could be installed. Public Works continues to advise against this provision.

Appleyard is a well-known authority on the effects of traffic on neighborhoods and other properties. Livable Streets is used as a text by many universities, I understand, and grew out of the author's 10-year study on traffic impacts. The book's dedication page states: "To children whose lives are threatened by traffic and to all those who suffer noise, vibration, fumes, dirt, ugliness, lone- liness, alienation or other impoverishments due to its presence." The attached sheet, in a very graphic way, shows that traffic has detrimental effects on residents' lives other than the usually-recognized problems of noise and pollution. The bottom graphic of the page depicting heavy traffic closely approximates some streets in North Renton and what Kennydale used to experience before the stop signs and new speed limit signs were erected.

Thorpe & Associates, 1300 Alaska Building, 2nd and Comprehensive Plan: Cherry, Seattle, indicated he represents 11 property owners of 104 acres Southeast - requesting a comprehensive plan update of the area located north of South Thorpe/Sayers 192nd Street and east of SR-167 in the vicinity of Talbot Road. He submitted a proposal for the Talbot Road Comprehensive Plan Amendment, January, 1989, prepared by his firm and Julian Sayers, President of The Sayers Associates, Inc., 1133 37th Avenue, Seattle, which requests redesignation of the area from R-1 and G-1, single family residential classifications currently recommended in the Southeast Comprehensive Plan, to R-2, low density multifamily classification. The study takes the position that an amendment is timely due to changed circumstances in the area associated with expansion of Valley Medical Center, demand for multiple family housing, and suitability of the area for clustered development due to terrain, soil type and access to transportation corridors. Mr. Thorpe requested that the matter be referred to the Planning Commission for inclusion in the 1989 work program or recognized as a high priority in comprehensive plan update review. Upon inquiry, Mr. Thorpe confirmed that the request constitutes a formal application for comprehensive plan update.

MOVED BY REED, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS AND ADVANCE TO CORRESPONDENCE, ITEM 8.C. CARRIED. CORRESPONDENCE Petitions signed by 142 employees of The Boeing Company were read Item 8.c. requesting removal of traffic revisions forcing southbound traffic on Garden Streets: North Renton ► Avenue N. to turn right onto N. 4th. The petitioners expressed concern that Traffic Revisions s traffic revisions will cause traffic backups on Garden Avenue, create traffic hazards as merging cars cross several lanes to turn left on.Park, and increase air pollution as traffic remains snarled for longer periods. Expressing an opposing view, Mr. Roberts, Garden Avenue resident, expressed appreciation for the traffic diverter which has reduced flow of traffic through the residential area, and urged that the diverter be retained. Councilwoman Mathews questioned the validity of the petitions since most of the petitioners live in areas to the north of the Boeing complex and would not be using the southbound route along Garden Avenue. Marge Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue N., Renton, provided an analysis of destinations of petitioners based upon their addresses. She noted that only nine of the petitioners live inside the City limits, and she felt there was no reason that employees could not use alternative routes other than Garden Avenue and spare residents from the impacts of heavy commuter traffic. Public Works Director Lynn Guttmann indicated she has met with residents to discuss objections of petitioners to new traffic channelization on Garden Avenue N. She cautioned that the City will be experiencing continued conflict between competing needs of residents and commuters. Therefore, she recommended that the City maintain an open dialogue between all parties, monitor the situation for three months, and in May, invite a number of interested people with opposing views to meet and discuss their observations. Reports would be presented to Council after the meeting in May and again in September at the conclusion of the six month period after January,23, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Pane 20 • full occupancy of the E & H buildings.

Terry Lewis re: N.4th and Garden Ave. N. traffic revision REF: Attached memo and, petition STAFF CONTACT: Gary A. Norris, Traffic Engineer ISSUE: Petitioners object to new traffic channelization which forces southbound traffic on Garden Avenue to turn right onto North 4th St. rather than proceeding south on Garde:: ;venue. BACKGROUND: All of the concerns identified in the petition from the Boeing employees relating to the intersection of N. 4th and Garden Ave. N. were recognized and presented to the City Council during their consideration of the North Renton/E&H Properties, Inc. traffic mitigation measures. The attached map shows the congestion that was predicted and has occurred. The congestion resulted from requiring the right turn from Garden onto North 4th St. The following concerns are identified in the attached petition: 1. There is an increase in the back-up of southbound traffic on Garden Avenue. • 2(10 Mill Avenue South - Renton. Washington 98055 - (2061235-2620 2. Because most of the traffic on Garden desires to proceed south and east this restriction causes a weaving of traffic from the north to the south side of North 4th St. in order to make the left turn on Park Avenue. 3 . This traffic revision has created more congestion on Garden Avenue, 3rd St. , 4th St. and Park Avenue • because of the restricted traffic flow. 4 . Because of the increased congestion air pollution is • increased. Most of these concerns were discussed during Council - deliberation. _. The City Council recognized the potential conflicts these measures might cause between the some of the area's residents and the commuters. Because of the possibility of conflicting goals, the Council asked the Public Works staff to prepare a report evaluating the impact of this • intersection change and the other traffic mitigation changes after the E&H buildings had been occupied for six months. Six months was determined to be an appropriate review time since it would give the traveling public time to adjust to tine new traffic system. The .modificdtian at N. 4th and Garden Ave. N., was: installed approximatelj .our months ago. The initial reac+:ion. to the change by the traveling public was unfavorable and the Police Department issued numerous citations during the first few weeks. Violations continue to occur. The petition from the Boeing employees indicate the motorists' negative . response is still strong. However, the leaders of the Citizen's Committee remain pleased with the result of this change. Since the E&H buildings have NOT been granted occupancy certificates we anticipate the six month clock will not begin until March, 1989. The evaluation report would then be due in September, 1989. RECOMMENDATION: The Traffic Engineering Staff should continue to monitor the traffic at this intersection. It is also appropriate for representatives of the Boeing employees who signed the • petition, some members of the North Renton Citizen's Committee, Traffic Engineering staff, Department of Community Development staff and Police staff to meet and • e9 evaluate this particular intersection prior to the expiration of the six months. To this end the Traffic Engineer would conduct such an informational meeting if the Council and the interested parties feel it is appropriate. It is in everyone's best interest to foster an open dialogue on this issue. ACTION PLAN: WHAT BY WHOM BY WHEN 1. Monitor traffic Traffic Engineering March-Sept. 1989 conditions. 2. Send attached . Public Works Dir. February, 1989 letter to Boeing Co. 3 . Hold informational Traffic Engineering May, 1989 meeting 4 . Report the results Traffic Engineering May, 1989 of the informational meeting to the Council 5. Report to Council Traffic Engineering Sept. 1989 on Traffic Mitigation inc lading..Garden/ 4th intersection. Please contact me if you have any questions. cc: Mayor Clymer J.

Recently this traffic flow was , altered to force the southbound lane of Garden Ave. to turn right on North 4th. This forced right turn on 4th will have three effects.

When permits were issued to E & H Properties , it was to build park- ing garages and office buildings . No inclusion was made for 25 apartments or living areas on Park! Inspectors for the city surely would have dis- covered them, wouldn't they? To go on--28 signers could and should exit these buildings to. the north via Park Drive North and onto 405 Sunset Highway NE . 23 signers have Seattle addresses such as Fairview North, A hworthANorth, Phinney Ave. nue North, Boylston East, Summit East and Seward°W;enue S�i! I see no reason for them to travel through our North Renton residential area to arrive at those addresses . One signer listed no town, 17 were from Kent, 2 from Auburn, 1 from Sumner , 1 Des Moines , 1 Orting , 4 Fede ral Way, 1 G ig.Harbor. These signer: again prove no reason to be south of 4th and Garden., They could exit to Park, to Bronson or Logan Avenue and , then to Rainier Avenue and Highway 16; 4 signers head to Redmond 3 to Kirkland, 1 Woodinville, 7 Bellevue, 5 Issaquah, plus 2.. unreadable signatures , all prolonging their travel times being gridlocked on 3rd or 4th Avenues North as referenced by the Public Work Director ' s memo and attached map. Gridlock for residents : on these Avenues haS increasingly grown for 20 years , with drivers having no concerns for residents with their trashing, noise, pollution, vulgar language, blocking our cross streets and bad driving habits causing repeated accidents on our residential streets . With pollution from 14, 930 cars 5 days a week on 3rd Avenue by my house, 142 more drivers will, yes , help increase pollution to some degree, but thoughts should first and foremost be given, to the many more residents who are,so grossly affected. The employees and---.B6eing-8hould be reminded that we residents must also use these routes and are thus inconvenienced even more times a day than the ' employees , but we would rather suffer this inconvenience than to be dumped onimore and more by uncaring, pass-through traffic, 4 ' 4 , � We Renton residents didn' t go to court to get mitigation FOR Boeing employees and their traffic ; we went to court to get mitigation FROM their traffic . This one intersection was one of the few mitigation measures we have been able to have installed. Residents were hopefuNorkers or their employers could gracefully accept modest measures to protect the residential area, and we hoped that workers ' travel patterns would change when they realized that we had to take steps for our own sake and the value of our properties . I would also ask you to remember that emission tests are required of Renton residents but not for most of the pass- through traffic that foul up our air. In my opinion, as well as my neighbors on 3rd Avenue and Garden, sae suggest this petition should be dumped into the round file. Marge Richter 300 Meadow Avenue N. Phone: 255-3915 January 23, 1988 f. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: We thank Captain Persson and Lt. Baker of the Police Department and Paul Lumbert for their courteous attitude in a recent meeting with nine of us resi- dents from North Renton. Residents appreciate civility on the part of city staff. I'm not speak,�i,ng uncivilly about staff, but in another direction, I must say we were elemq.B.PIrted that Terry Lewis of Boeing would at this particular time try to interfere against us in a traffic issue in North Renton inasmuch as he is serving with some of us residents on a comprehensive plan committee which will eventually include traffic and transportation elements in North Renton. At least, his letter tells us something about the continuing attitude of the Boeing Company--i.e. , keep on rollin 'em through the residential area, and the residents be damned! It also shows us not only what Boeing thinks of us residents but also what it thinks of its own employees in this respect: or 1988 The City of Renton in 1987 / placed a head tax of $55.00 on on each employee working within the City. Boeing thus pays for each of it ' usands of employees the sum of $55.00 to the City to help solve transportation problems. Seemingly, our largest employer in the city didn' t fight too hard on where those funds were to be spent. None of those funds were used in North Renton to help solve the very traffic mess we residents and Boeing employees are constantly complaining about. It is my understanding all or most of those funds were spent down in the Valley commercial area near Long Acres, not where this big employer's people need traffic relief the most. Thus, I severely fault the powerful Boeing lobby for not lobbying hard on behalf of its own employees up there or the residents who are now and have been over time so adversely affected by Boeing-caused traffic. So it is not fair for Boeing to now try to get into the act of again trying to roll over us on the pretext that they care about their employees. I say it's not necessarily so, based on past and present actions.

E&H PROPERTIES July 1 , 1987 /Ai (.3827 108th N E. Mr . Don Erickson, Zoning Administrator Bellevue,Washington 98004 City of Renton 206/4 206l454-5959 Building and Zoning Department 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, Washington 98055 RE: BOEING PROPOSED NORTH RENTON DEVELOPMENT Dear Mr . Erickson: Reviewing your letter (June 25 , 1987) , I am extremely grateful to the Environmental Review Committee for arriving at a positive solution to the problems which arose during our negotiation. I am pleased to see the utilization of WAC 147-11-064(5) (d) (iii ) to allow both the Park Plaza and Garden Plaza Office Buildings to proceed through the land use and building permit processes. However , I am extremely concerned , that the ERC appears to view mitigation of the traffic impacts from the redevelopment of the industrial area in North Renton in a fashion similar to that of the Green River Valley . For over 50 years North Renton has been established as an industrial area with a strong infra-structure of utilities and streets. That is entirely different from the development of the vacant land in the Valley. Another major difference lies in the actual use of the streets. In North Renton more and more of the traffic is pass-through traffic , not in any way associated with the industrial development . Therefore , creation of the financing formula to include this mix of traffic may be more complex . Your letter does not indicate the method of calculating the $200/trip guarantee . In addition , I am very disturbed about your request to submit a bond or letter of credit in excess of 1 million dollars , when the impacts disclosed by two traffic studies suggest that significant adverse environmental impacts affect only three intersections . O E811 Enterprises ❑Seventh Avenue Co. ❑Lind Building Co. Cl 5th 8 Park Co. July 1 , 1987 Page 2 As you are aware, the BCAC will relocate 1 ,350 employees from existing facilities located in Renton. Of 1 ,800 employees to occupy the proposed Park Plaza and Garden Plaza Office Buildings, only 450 new employees will be hired. The request appears to be at odds with both the recommendation to approve the Six Year Street Program and the recent City Council 's adoption of that program on June 22nd . The Program places the widening of Park Avenue North as the primary goal in 1987-1988 prior to the review of the North Renton Traffic Study . This project and the improvement of the intersection of Lake Washington/ Park Avenue/Garden Avenue were projected to be 90 funded by the Urban Arterial Board . Based on those calculations, total developer participation would be $329 ,000. E & H Properties has previously agreed to participate in more than its fair share , as identified in both of the traffic studies. We further agreed to fund a major planning effort for the City of Renton , the North Renton Traffic Study , that is clearly beyond the scope of any possible SEPA requirement for either of the proposals. E & H Properties is requesting that both the $200 per trip guarantee and the actual number of new trips be discussed and reconsidered . This seems especially warranted, since more than 75 per cent of the infra—structure exists in the North Renton area when compared to the Valley. The guarantee should be not more than 25 per cent of the $188/trip that was required for the Valley. In addition, the following E & H Properties ' contributions should be credited against our total participation: (1) The North Renton Traffic Study $35 ,000+ (2) Signal at N. 6th/Garden Avenue North $100,000+ (3) Participation at the intersection of Lake Washington/Garden/Park $10,000 (4) Intersection improvements at North 6th Street and Park Avenue North ?

City of Renton Bellevue,Washington Building and Zoning Department • 98004 206/4 206/454-5959 200 Mill Avenue South Renton , Washington 98055 RE: E & H PROPERTIES/ PARK PLAZA Gentlemen : • I would like to take this opportunity before the Environmental Review Committee makes a formal decision on the possible mitigating measures for both the Park Plaza and Garden Plaza office complexes to note that the revised traffic analysis prepared by Transpo calculated the total daily traffic volumes by multiplying the gross square footage of the buildings by 12 .3 trips per 1 , 000 square feet . The Traffic Engineering Division of the Public Works Department utilized the rate of 14.3 . The Institute of Traffic Engineers manual creates a formal break in their standards for office buildings over 200,000 square feet in area . Garden Plaza is 245 , 850 square feet . It appears from the suggested contribution of $660 ,943 that the rate of 14. 3 vehicle trips per day was used instead of the 10. 9 vehicle trips per day stated in the ITE Manual . Therefore , it is requested the ERC consider reducing the amount to $503 , 796 when considering Garden Plaza. We would appreciate confirmation of these revised figures by your Traffic Engineer. Thank you for this opportunity to comment on this issue .

THE PROPOSED REZONE PROPERTY E WE HAVE BEEN AT THIS LOCATION FOR 7 YEARS AND WE OWN BOTH THE LAND AND THE BUILDING FACILITIES F WE EMPLOY 26 PERSONS AND GENERATE APPROXIMATELY ONE AND ONE HALF MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR IN PRODUCT P'' 2 PURPOSE 6�f A THE PURPOSE OF MY ADDRESSING THIS HEARING IS TO PRESENT SOME FACTS REGARDING THIS PROPOSED REZONE AS VIEWED 0 FROM THE POSITION OF AN IMMEDIATE PROPERTY OWNER ° 9 B ITS POSSIBLE THAT I MAY BE THE ONLY IMMEDIATEd PROPERTY OWNER TO SPEAK AT THIS HEARING DUE TO THE UNIQUE Q BOUNDARY CONFIGURATION OF THIS PROPOSED REZONE 3 BOUNDARIES A PROJECT DESIGNED TO ADD A STORY BUILDING AND 3 STORY PARKING GARAGE AND TO INTERCONNECT TO AN EXISTING 3 STORY OFFICE BUILDING 1' B IN SO DOING IT ENCOMPASSES THE GREATER PART OF THE CITY BLOCK BORDERED BY PARK AVENUE ON THE WEST AND GARDEN AVENUE ON THE EAST AND LYING BETWEEN NORTH 5TH AND NORTH 6TH STREETS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH C THE SHEER SIZE OF THE PROJECT DICTATES AN 4 = ' INVESTIGATION INTO THE IMPACT ON THE EXISTING IMMEDIATE fk PROPERTY OWNERS AS WELL AS THE OVERALL CITY WIDE IMPACT D IF WE LOOK AT THE PROPERTIES BORDERING THIS PROJECT WE WILL SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A POTENTIAL BUFFER ZONE WHICH IS THE STREETS THEMSELVES E ON THE WEST SIDE OF PARK AVENUE IS AN ESTABLISHED GROUP OF SMALL AUTO REPAIR SHOPS AND A SMALL NUMBER OF APARTMENTS F ON THE EAST SIDE OF PARK AVENUE IS LOCATED THE EXISTING 3 STORY OFFICE BUILDING WHICH OBVIOUSLY STANDS TO PROFIT FROM THE EXPANSION OF THIS PROJECT IN THE FORM OF PARKING G THE NORTH SIDE OF NORTH 6TH STREET IS CURRENTLY VACANT H THE EAST SIDE OF GARDEN AVENUE IS OCCUPIED BY THE BUILDINGS OF PACIFIC CAR AND FOUNDRY AND IS TOTALLY FENCED AND HAS NO INGRESS OR EGRESS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF AN OCCASIONAL FORKLIFT FOR EQUIPMENT MANTENANCE I THE SOUTH SIDE OF NORTH 5TH STREET IS CURRENTLY • OCCUPIED BY THE PARKING AREA OF THE RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT BUSES AND ONE BEAUTY SHOP H THE ONLY OTHER PROPERTY DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THIS REZONE AND SUBSEQUENT BUILDING PROJECT WOULD BE THE L-1 ISLAND CREATED ON THE NORTH WEST CORNER OF NORTH FIFTH AND GARDEN WHICH IS THE PROPERTY THAT IS OWNED BY CUSTOM CABINET SALES I AS A FOOTNOTE THERE MAY BE AN ADDITIONAL ISLAND CREATED IN A FURTHER REZONE REQUEST OF THE PARK PLAZA PROJECT IN REGARDS TO THE KENNY' S AUTO REBUILD PROPERTY IF IT IS NOT ADDRESSED 4 EFFECTS AND IMPACT ON THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES A TRAFFIC CONGESTION RELATING TO THE PROPERTIES ON PARK AVENUE HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED AND PROPOSALS REGARDING THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE THE CONGESTION IS OR HAS BEEN PROPOSED BY THE PETITIONER B LIKEWISE TRAFFIC FLOW SOLUTIONS AND PEDESTRIAN DROP ZONES HAVE BEEN PROPOSED ON NORTH SIXTH STREET C THE FACT THAT PACIFIC CAR AND FOUNDRY DOES NOT UTILIZE GARDEN AVENUE FOR ACCESS TO THEIR PROPERTY TO ANY LARGE EXTENT PROCLUDES ANY GREAT CONCERNS AT THIS AREA D HOWEVER FUTURE REZONE AND BUILDING PROJECTS ON THE PACIFIC CAR AND FOUNDRY PROPERTY CAN ONLY BE ADDRESSED BY THOSE WHO ARE IN A POSITION TO HAVE THE NECESSARY INFORMATION E THERE ARE BASICALLY THREE IMPACTS ON THE RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT BUS PARKING AREA 1 THE CONGESTION EFFECT OF TRAFFIC INCOMING TO THE GARDEN PLAZA PROJECT AT OR ABOUT THE SAME TIME AS THE BUSSES LEAVE TO START THEIR MORNING ROUTES 2 THE CONGESTION EFFECT OF TRAFFIC OUTBOUND FROM THE GARDEN PLAZA PROJECT AT OR ABOUT THE SAME TIME AS THE BUSES RETURN FROM THEIR AFTERNOON ROUTES 3 THE INCREASE IN TOTAL LIABILITY DUE TO THE MANOEUVRABILITY OF THE BUSES IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE DRAMATIC INCREASE IN VEHICLES IN THE AREA F THE MOST EFFECTED AREA IS THE L-1 LIGHT MANUFACTURING AREA OWNED BY CUSTOM CABINET SALES 1 THIS PROPERTY IS DIRECTLY EFFECTED IN ITS OPERATIONS BY THE TOTAL INCREASE IN TRAFFIC OUTSIDE OF THE PARKING GARAGE 2 THIS PROPERTY IS DIRECTLY EFFECTED BY EVERY VEHICLE THAT WILL USE THE PROPOSED THREE STORY PARKING GARAGE 3 IT IS DIRECTLY EFFECTED BY EVERY PEDESTRIAN THAT APPROACHES THE PROPOSED PROJECT FROM THE SOUTH ON GARDEN AVENUE OR FROM THE WEST ON NORTH FIFTH 4 IT MAY BE DIRECTLY EFFECTED BY EVERY OFF WORK EMPLOYEE CHOOSING TO UTILIZE THE RECREATIONAL INCENTIVES WHICH THE CITY HAS REQUIRED BE PROVIDED 5 EXPLANATION OF THE EFFECTS ON THE L-1 ISLAND A THE DRAMATIC INCREASE IN TRAFFIC WILL EFFECT THE CUSTOM CABINET SALES PROPERTY EVEN BEFORE IT ARRIVES AT THE PROPOSED REZONE AREA 1 FOR THE LAST SEVEN YEARS IT HAS BEEN ILLEGAL TO PARK ON EITHER SIDE OF NORTH 5TH STREET DUE TO THE TURNING REQUIREMENTS OF THE BUSES RE-ENTERING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PARKING AREA 2 THE NET RESULT OF THAT IS THE FACT THAT CUSTOM CABINET SALES HAS HAD TO PROVIDE TOTAL OFF STREET PARKING FOR ALL CLIENTS AND EMPLOYEES AND HAS NOT ENJOYED THE BENEFIT OF STREET SIDE PARKING AS DO SOME OF THE BUSINESSES IN RENTON 3 FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS DELIVERY TRUCKS IN THE 40' AND DUEL 40' LENGTHS HAVE BEEN SUPPLING THE CABINET SHOP OPERATION BUT DUE TO THEIR SIZE ARE FORCED TO OFF-LOAD ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF NORTH 5TH STREET DURING TIME PERIODS THAT DO NOT INTERFERE WITH THE BUS TRAFFIC B THE SECOND IMPACT ON THE CUSTOM CABINET SALES PROPERTY IS THE FACT THAT OVER 1300 VEHICLES WILL BE TARGETED TO THE DIRECT AREA OF THIS L-1 LIGHT MANUFACTURING FACILITY • TO GAIN ACCESS TO A 930 STALL PARKING GARAGE 1 IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE GARDEN AVENUE ACCESS TO THIS PARKING GARAGE IS PLANNED TO BE LESS THAN 100 FEET FROM THE MAIN CUSTOMER ENTRANCE TO THE CUSTOM CABINET SALES PROPERTY AND WILL OBVIOUSLY LEAVE AN IMPACT • 2 THE OTHER ENTRANCE TO THE PARKING GARAGE IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE CUSTOM CABINET SALES PROPERTY AND IS IN FACT A JOINT OCCUPANCY DRIVEWAY WHICH WAS PROVIDED AS A PIPE STEM ACCESS TO LOT 1 OF THE RENTON BOILER WORKS SUB DIVISION WHICH I PERSONNALY INSTITUTED a IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS DRIVEWAY WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO A SMALL LOT WITH THE POTENTIAL OF 8 TO 15 VEHICLES NOT THE 900 TO 1300 VEHICLES CURRENTLY PROPOSED b IN ADDITION CUSTOM CABINET SALES OWNS REGISTERED ACCESS RIGHTS TO THIS DRIVEWAY FOR THE PURPOSE OF FACILITATING THE LOADING AND UNLOADING OF MATERIALS AND FINISHED PRODUCTS FROM THE WEST END OF OUR BUILDING AS WELL AS ACCESS TO OUR WESTERN PARKING LOT C IT SHOULD BE POINTED OUT THAT FOR THE PAST SEVEN • YEARS CUSTOM CABINET SALES HAS MET AND EXCEEDED EVERY LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENT FOR AIR, WATER AND NOISE POLUTION CONTROL 1 WE ARE INSPECTED ANNUALLY BY OUR INSURANCE UNDERWRITERS AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN COMPLIANCE WITH THEIR STRICT HOUSEKEEPING RULES 2 WE ARE INSPECTED ANNUALLY BY THE CITY OF RENTON FIRE DEPARTMENT AND HAVE NEVER ONCE BEEN CITED FOR NY TYPE OF HAZARD TO OUR EMPLOYEES OR THE PUBLIC AT LARGE AND HAVE EVEN BEEN COMPLIMENTED ON OL:: •..:LEANLINESS EVEN THOUGH WE BASICALLY MANUFACTURE SAWDUST AND STORE VARIOUS AMOUNTS OF FLAMMAF. .. LIQUIDS USED IN MANUFACTURING 3 WE HAVE BEEN INSPECTED ANNUALLY BY THE PUGET SOUND POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD FOR OUR DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM AND OUR FLAMMABLE SPRAY BOOTH AND HAVE NEVER BEEN FOUND IN VIOLATION OF ANY OF THEIR RULES 4 WE HAVE BEEN INSPECTED Blf THE STATE AND HAVE HAD NOISE READING TESTS PERFORMED AND FOUND TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL OF THEIR RULES 6 . MY QUESTION TO THE HEARING EXAMINERS BOARD IS WHAT HAS EEH PROPERTIES PROPOSED TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF THESE EFFECTS ON THE PROPERTY AND OPERATION OF CUSTOM CABINET SALES A WHAT IS PROPOSED IN REGARDS TO THE DRAMATIC INCREASE OF TRAFFIC AS IT RELATES TO THE OFF-LOADING OF SUPPLIES TO THE EXISTING LIGHT MANUFACTURING OPERATION B WHAT IS PROPOSED IN REGARDS TO THE EFFECT THAT THE 900 TO 1300 VEHICLES WILL HAVE ON THE CLIENT AND EMPLOYEE ACCESS TO THE EXISTING LIGHT MANUFACTURING OPERATION OFF OF GARDEN AVENUE C WHAT IS PROPOSED IN REGARDS TO THE EFFECT THAT THOSE SAME VEHICLES WILL HAVE ON THE SHIPPING OF MATERIALS FROM THE JOINT TENANCY ACCESS DRIVEWAY ON THE WEST END OF THE EXISTING LIGHT MANUFACTURING OPERATION AS WELL AS THE EMPLOYEE PARKING ACCESSED FROM THAT SAME DRIVE D WHAT IS PROPOSED IN REGARDS TO THE EFFECT THAT 2000 TO 3000 PERSONS INVOLVED IN A BUSINESS TYPE OCCUPANCY WILL HAVE ON A LIGHT MANUFACTURING FACILITY OF CUSTOM WOOD PRODUCTS AS RELATES TO AIR, WATER AND NOISE POLLUTION WHEN THAT MANUFACTURING PLANT IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THIS NEW BUSINESS TYPE OCCUPANCY 7 WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO PROGRESS AND NEITHER ARE WE ' OPPOSED TO A PROPERTY OWNER UTILIZING HIS PROPERTY TO THE BEST ADVANTAGE A EIGHT YEARS AGO I SCOURED THE RENTON AREA TO LOCATE L-1 ZONED PROPERTY TO BUILD OUR CABINET SHOP OPERATION 1 IT TOOK ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF OUR OFFER TO PURCHASE THAT PROPERTY TO SECURE A SHORTPLAT THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO ESTABLISH OUR FIRM IN AN APPROPRIATELY ZONED AREA OF THE CITY CLOSE TO THE FREEWAY AND THE SUPPLIERS THAT _WE NEEDED 2 WE HAVE SINCE THAT TIME ENLARGED OUR PLANT TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES AND HAVE CURRENT PLANS TO ENLARGE ONE MORE TIME ALL WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING B WE NOW FIND OURSELVES IN A SITUATION WHICH IF APPROVED LANDLOCKS US INTO A B-1 WHITE COLLAR BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT 1 THAT DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE WOULD STILL BE A FULLY OPERATIONAL L-1 LIGHT MANUFACTURING FACILITY 2 IF APPROVED THIS REZONE WILL SET A PRECEDENT THAT WILL ALLOW THE ENVELOPING OF EXISTING L-1 AND PERHAPS H-1 MANUFACTURING ZONES OF VARIOUS SIZES BY UNCOMPATABLE BUSINESS OCCUPANCY ZONES AT THE EXPENSE OF THE EXISTING PROPERTY OWNERS 3 ITS OBVIOUS THAT THIS ISLAND EFFECT IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC OR THE PROPERTY OWNER. 4 IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT IF THIS SAME TYPE OF L-1 ISLANDING WERE PROPOSED AS A REZONE TO' AN EXISTING B-1 ZONE AREA THAT IT WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED AND YET THE SAME NET RESULT IS REALIZED IF THIS REZONE PROPOSAL IS PASSED C DURING THE COURSE OF OUR PAST EXPANSIONS WE HAVE BEEN APPROACHED BY EBH PROPERTIES TO ALLOW THEM TO INSPECT OUR PROPERTY WITH THE THOUGHT OF INCLUDING IT INTO THEIR PROJECT BUT NEVER HAVE WE BEEN MADE AN OFFER 1 I HAVE PERSONNALY LEFT OVER 10 PHONE CALLS WITH THE OFFICES OF E&H PROPERTIES TO HAVE THEIR OWNER CONTACT ME REGARDING THIS PROJECT,.AND HAVE EVEN ASKED TWO OF HIS PERSONNAL SECRETARIES TO CALL ME WHEN HE WAS IN HIS OFFICE SO THAT WE MIGHT DISCUSS THE PROJECT AS TO ITS IMPACT ON ALL THE PARTIES AND I HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM ANYONE WITH THEIR FIRM 2 WHILE I HAVE NO PERSONNAL GRUDGE AGAINST EBcH PROPERTIES OR ANY OF THEIR PEOPLE I SEE THIS REZONE AS A PURLY SPECULATIVE PURCHASE OF PROPERTY BY AN OUTSIDE PARTY WITH THE INTENT OF PROCURING THEIR OWN REQUIRED LAND USE ZONING AT THE EXPENSE OF THE ESTABLISHED PROPERTY OWNERS WHICH IN THIS CASE SEEMS TO FALL THE HARDEST ON CUSTOM CABINET SALES D BUT FURTHERMORE IF IT IS THE INTENT OF THE CITY TO ENCOURAGE THE EXPANSION OF A B-1 TYPE REZONE INTO THIS ESTABLISHED PART OF TOWN THEN IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION THAT ONLY QUILIFIED DEVELOPMENT PLANS BE ALLOWED THAT PROCLUDE THE INJURIOUS CONSEQUENCES THAT WILL BE BORN BY THE EXISTING ORPHANED PROPERTY OWNERS IF THEIR MANUFACTURING ZONES ARE ALLOWED TO BE LEFT AS ISLANDS 8 IN CLOSING I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND THE CITY OF WHAT HAPPENED IN THE KENT AREA WHEN SEATTLE INTERNATIONAL RACEWAYS BUILT THEIR RACETRACK ON AN EXPANSE OF VACANT LAND FAR OUTSIDE THE POPULATED CITY AREA A EVENTUALLY THE HOUSING DEVELOPERS SHOWED AND ONE BY . ONE THE RACEWAY WAS SURROUNDED BY HOUSES B THEN THE NOISE AND TRAFFIC COMPLAINTS STARTED COMING IN DIRECTED AT THE RACEWAY C THEN THE LAWSUITS STARTED GOING BETWEEN THE RACEWAY AND THE HOMEOWNERS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS D AND THE END RESULT WAS THAT THE FIRST PROPERTY OWNER LOST HIS RIGHTS AND THE MAJOR USE OF HIS PROPERTY BECAUSE THE CITY OFFICIALS FAILED TO SEE THE INCOMPATABILITY OF THE TWO ZONES 9 THE SEATAC AIRPORT IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE SAME TYPE OF SITUATION 10 I ASK THIS BOARD TO REJECT THIS REZONE REQUEST ON THE BASIS OF THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE OFFERED HERE UNTILL SUCH TIME AS ALL THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AND BY DOING SO LIVE UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPRESENT ALL OF THE CITIZENS 4 I__ _-_ . . .

'PM Peak Hour Traffic Volumes Under Different Park/Garden Avenue Operating Options 14 TG: 87244.00 CONCEPT DESCRIPTION During the course of traffic studies for the Park and Garden Plaza pro- jects, a Park Avenue/Garden Avenue one-way street plan concept was devised as an alternate means of mitigating not only the Park and Garden Plazas traffic impacts, but also 'the impacts of longer-range land development impacts in the North Renton area. The concept was adopted for further consideration of the longer-range transportation solutions for the North Renton area in the "North Renton Transportation Study". The concept and its options are illustrated on Figures 1 through 5. It proposes the conversion of Park Avenue to one-way southbound traffic flow from Lake Washington Boulevard to an optional southern terminus point. Garden Avenue would be converted to one-way northbound traffic flow. The Garden Avenue "dog-leg" at N 8th Street would be remedied by constructing a new three-lane alignment of Garden Avenue between N 6th and N 8th Streets through the Pac-Car property. The new alignment would follow a path that already generally exists between storage yards and former building operations. The proposed concept would totally eliminate the existing "bottleneck" intersection of Lake Washington Boulevard/Park/Garden Avenues, as illustrated in Figure 1. To facilitate this intersection elimination and the one-way flow concept, a new four-lane extension of N 10th Street from Park to Garden Avenues is strongly recommended, as illustrated on Figure 1. Traffic connection between Lake Washington Boulevard and the downtown Renton and North Renton areas would be accommodated by Houser Way and N 8th Street. An optional extension of N 10th Street'from Garden Avenue to Houser Way would restore the accessibility between Lake Washington Boulevard (LWB) and the North Renton area that is lost by elimination of the LWB/Garden intersection. This is an option for the City and its residents to choose. OPTIONS Option A The Option A minimal couplet scheme is illustrated on Figure 2. Park Avenue would provide four southbound lanes southwest of Lake Washington Boulevard, plus an auxiliary right-turn lane on the approach to N 10th Street (all within • -1- l . :.-)L (,/. - 1 _ / // // T, . . / / /'/i // b /i i O / •'•,//•/ 1 CITY '•\ 9 • 1 /'//, i l OPTION / N /////' I ?A 'j / // 11/ ' o ,� -445 • ^A/ '1i 1►s120 .J �. 6�". 660a 70�y I i i { tom ', 7 r Ili N10ST ' 1 I: I 1 I 111 • LOS b� I I 1 I I "1 LOS I A I i11 I L.-, \11 p B III • :`•` , 1 III • •,1', ill - 1.' • t1; - III III 111 mc be III :tit d I.II 1 I�.

South of N 10th Street, all four existing lanes would be converted to southbound traffic flow. At N 6th Street, two of the four lanes • would flow into N 6th Street with an improved turning radius -- one lane would be designed for "free-flow", unstopped by the signal . Between N 6th and N 4th Streets, Park Avenue would operate with two lanes southbound, one lane northbound, and one lane dedicated to left-turn move- ments. South of N 4th Street, Park Avenue would operate as it does today. Garden Avenue would also operate as it does today south of N 3rd Street to -provide a south-to-east left-turn lane on the north approach. Option B Option B would continue the Park Avenue/Garden Avenue one-way couplet to N 4th Street (see Figure 3). Two of the four southbound lanes on Park Avenue would- "drop" to N 4th Street. South of N 4th Street, Park and Garden Avenues would operate as they do today. Option C Under Option C, the. Park and Garden Avenues one-way operations would be carried south to Bronson Way, as illustrated on Figure 4. South of N 3rd Street, Park and Garden Avenues would operate as they do today in terms of number of thru traffic lanes. However, the two lanes on each street would _operate in the same direction (one-way) to increase the efficiency of street operations. A more detailed illustration of the Park Avenue/Garden Avenue/ Bronson Way configurations under Option C are shown on Figure 5. A signal may be desired at the Bronson Way and Garden Avenue intersection. ADVANTAGE OF ONE-WAY FLOW CONCEPT One-way street operations can increase the traffic carrying capacity of Park and Garden Avenues by 50 percent or more. One-way operation eliminates the traffic delays, lane blockages, and safety hazards associated with left- turning vehicles. Signal systems can operate more efficiently since they will not require more than two or three signal phases, and the signals can be -4- • .. ..

Group 1 AT BRONSON WAY -7- TG: 87244.00 coordinated to provide progressive traffic flow. The most significant advan- tages of the Park Avenue/Garden Avenue one-way concept are: • Total elimination of the Lake Washington Boulevard/Park Avenue/Garden Avenue intersection -- the capacity "bottleneck" for traffic access to the North Renton area. ▪ Elimination of any need to expand Park or Garden Avenues in terms of number of lanes. The Park Avenue/Garden Avenue one-way couplet will not, per se, cause higher traffic volumes in and through the North Renton area. However, by increasing the operating efficiency of the existing street system to maintain City and community goals to minimize congestion, the arterial street system may be more attractive for thru traffic use. There is a perception in the community that one-way streets will increase traffic speeds. Traffic speeds can be controlled by signal timing for a controlled traffic progression at predetermined speeds. Traffic will seem to move faster, but that is a perception brought about by one-way flow in reduc- ing traffic congestion and delay. EVALUATION OF OPTIONS Overview The principal and minor arterial system in the North Renton area is high- lighted by the wider line widths on Figures 2, 3, and 4. These arterial streets include Logan, Park and Garden Avenues; Bronson Way; 3rd, 4th, 6th and 8th Streets. By definition, .these street are designated to accommodate the vicinity and city-wide traffic mobility needs of the City. If these arterial streets are operationally maintained to accommodate traffic demands at a good level of service, there would be no need for arterial traffic to spillover onto the local streets. The Park Avenue/Garden Avenue one-way couplet would help assure good operating conditions on the arterial street system. -8- TG: 87244.00 Table 1 illustrates calculated levels of service at key arterial inter- sections throughout the North Renton area. It shows existing conditions and future conditions for three cases: _ 1. Existing street system with no improvements. 2. Existing street system plus improvements required as a condition of Park and Garden Plazas development. 3. With implementation of the Park Avenue/Garden Avenue one-way couplet as an alternate form of area-wide traffic mitigation. . Note that the one-way couplet (under Option C) would result in better levels of service at all intersections along Park Avenue and at most inter- sections along Garden Avenue, as compared to Case 2 which includes an expan- sion of Park Avenue to five lanes. Option A Option A would terminate the Park Avenue/Garden Avenue one-way couplet operation at N 6th Street with a focus to divert thru traffic south of N 6th Street from Park and Garden Avenues to Logan Avenue. One of the two northbound lanes would be converted to a two-way left-turn lane to facilitate access to/from parking facilities. South of N 4th Street, Park and Garden Avenues would continue to operate as they do today. The effects of Option A are summarized as follows: • Option A would achieve the primary objectives of the one-way couplet concept: eliminate the LWB/Park/Garden bottleneck, and improve corridor capacity where traffic volumes are the highest. • It could result in a 20 to 25 percent traffic reduction on Park and Garden Avenues. • However, the traffic shift to Logan Avenue may cause its intersec- tions at, N 4th and N 6th Streets to drop to LOS E or F conditions., thereby somewhat negating its attractiveness as a diversion route. • Option A would not eliminate the need to maintain Park and Garden Avenues as arterial streets, nor would it reduce the number of traffic lanes needed to accommodate the remaining traffic volumes. -9- Table 1 Levels of Service at Key Intersections -- PM Peak Hour EXISTING STREET SYSTEM PARK/GARDEN EXISTING STREET SYSTEM WITH REQUIRED MITIGATION COUPLET Option C Case 1 Case 2 Case 3 Intersection Current.

TG: 87244.00 • A traffic signal would be needed at the intersection of Garden Avenue and Bronson, Way. • Levels of service at Park Avenue intersections south of N 6th Street would be better than those shown for Case 2 on Table 1, but not as good as those shown for Case 3. Option B Option B would carry one-way operation on Park and Garden Avenues south to M 4th Street, and transition between N 3rd and N 4th Streets into existing two-way operation south of N 3rd Street. Of the four southbound lanes on Park Avenue north of N 6th Street, one lane could 'drop' to N 6th Street as a free right-turn lane to encourage traffic diversion to Logan Avenue. Between N 6th and N 4th Streets, one of the existing four traffic lanes could be dedicated to parking use. One of the three remaining lanes would "drop" to N 4th Street westbound, and another would 'drop" to N 3rd Street eastbound. The single existing southbound lane on Park Avenue south of N 3rd Street would be heavily loaded during the PM peak hour. PM peak hour traffic estimates on the Option B plan with full development of Park and Garden Plazas are illustrated on Figure 6. They illustrate the logic for the "drop' lanes along Park Avenue. The traffic effects of Option B are summarized as follows: • All of the previously noted effects of Option A apply also to Option B; however, traffic diversion to Logan Avenue between N 6th and_N 4th Streets may be slightly less than under Option A. • Option B provides a more logical and l ess confusing transition point between one-way and two-way flow operations on Park and Garden Avenues.. • Traffic operations at the Park and Garden intersections with N.3rd and 4th Streets would be acceptable, but slightly worse than under Option A. • South of N 3rd Street, future traffic on Garden Avenue would be less than it carries today; however, traffic on Park Avenue southbound would be heavier. A parking restriction on the southbound curb lane may need to be considered during the PM peak hour. -11- A • 01 1,0 r_ ..

South of N 4th Street, it uses the same number of traffic lanes on Park and Garden Avenues that are utilized today. However, since both lanes on Park Avenue would serve the heavy southbound traffic flow, there is no possibility of needing to preempt a parking lane for PM peak hour southbound traffic use. The added effects of Option C as compared to Options A and B follow. • Substantially improves level of service at Park and Garden Avenues intersections with N 3rd and N 4th Streets and Bronson Way by remov- ing several turning movements at each intersection and simplifying signal phasing. • Causes more shift of traffic from Park Avenue to Garden Avenue south of N 4th Street than under Options A and B. • Causes more circuitous access patterns for residents and businesses along Park and Garden Avenues, but improves access safety and sub- stantially reduces access delays. • Proper timing and coordination of traffic signals can control traffic speeds. • May eliminate the need to install a signal at the Garden Avenue/ Bronson Way intersection. Suboption: Operate Park Avenue as one-way southbound to Bronson Way, but leave Garden Avenue in its current two-way operation between N 4th Street and Bronson Way. Install a signal at the Garden Avenue/Bronson Way intersection. Traffic volumes on Garden Avenue would not necessitate one-way operation south of N 4th Street.

SUBJECT: Question raised at Council Meeting re: Metro Bus in North Renton REF: STAFF CONTACT: Gary A. Norris, Traffic Engineer At the Council meeting on November 7, 1988 Councilman Stredicke asked John Adamson about a Metro Van he had seen in North Renton. Councilman Stredicke asked about a Metro van that had difficulty making a turning movement at N. 2d and Pelly. He indicated that the van had to back up and turn again to complete the movement. This incident occurred during a weekday. John has checked with Metro regarding a van (23 passenger mini-bus) in this area. Metro personnel indicated that: 1. Service on this route, #155, had changed from full size to mini-bus size in mid-September. 2 . There is some "wait time" for the bus in North Renton. Metro personnel said that this incident could have occurred when the mini-bus was first put into service. At that time a driver not familiar with the area could have one off the route because he was either lost or was running an errand during the "wait time. " In either event, the bus should not have been at that location. 200 Mill Avenue South - Renton, Washington 98055 - (206)235-2620 Please contact me or John R. Adamson if you have any further questions. 2 r •x Provember 7, 1988 Renton City Council Mint Page 316 Rezone: E & H _ Program Development Coordinator John Adamson discussed status of E & H Properties, R-016-87 Properties development: A temporary occupancy permit has been issued for the Garden Plaza parking garage and similar temporary permit will be requested soon for the Park Plaza garage and both the Garden Plaza and Park Plaza office buildings. Mitigation measures required prior to issuance of a permanent occupancy permit for the Garden Plaza garage or temporary permits for the Park or Garden office buildings are: 1) Prohibition of access from Park Avenue until C-curb is installed on that street; 2) Completion of rechannelization on N. 5th and on Park from N. 10th to the Garden/Park intersection; 3) .Installation of.traffic control "buttons" to discourage Garden Avenue traffic from proceeding across Park Avenue onto Lake Washington Boulevard; 4) Installation of street lighting on N. 6th between Garden and Park; 5) Relocation of street lighting in front of 500 Park building to accommodate fire ladder access from the street; 6) Submission of bond by E & H Properties for 10-foot easement along north side of N. 6th between Garden and Park. Right of way will be purchased by condemnation or waived until such time as the additional right-of-way is needed as primary access onto the PACCAR site; 7) Installation of signals at 8th and Garden and 6th and Garden prior to issuance of temporary occupancy permit for office buildings. If signals cannot be installed due to circumstances beyond the control of E & H Properties (such as delay in receiving signal equipment), off-duty uniformed officers shall be hired by the developer to direct traffic at intersections during morning and afternoon peak hours until traffic signals are operable. 8) Installation of all sidewalks between the parking garages and the office buildings. Mr. Adamson requested the following action: 1) That the City waive* the requirement for E & H Properties to provide a ten-foot easement on N. 6th between Park and Garden. This easement will be needed to widen N. 6th at some time in the future when PACCAR needs N. 6th for access to their site. (*See revision contained in motion below.) 2) If a temporary occupancy permit is requested for the Park or Garden Plaza office building before the N. 8th and Garden and N. 6th and Garden intersections are signalized, E & H Properties shall be required to employ off-duty, uniformed and commissioned police officers to direct traffic at those unsignalized intersections during the morning and afternoon peak traffic hours. Mr. Adamson indicated that Boeing will begin occupying the buildings with 100 employees on 11/15/88, with occupancy gradually continuing through 1/31/89 for a total of 1,000 employees. He reported that North Renton residents were less than enthusiastic in responding to the City's letter designating location of proposed traffic diverters, and only the diverter at Meadow and 2nd was approved for installation. Since that time, North Renton residents and their planner have requested an additional two-month period to discuss alternate proposals. Responding to letter from Councilman Stredicke regarding bus service, Mr. Adamson explained that Metro proposes service through the residential area with a smaller 23-passenger bus or mini- van. Councilman Stredicke questioned appropriateness of routing buses through residential areas, and noted inability of mini-buses to maneuver around corners on narrow streets. He also felt that the report prepared by the planner working for North Renton residents has merit, and recommended that the City review her findings regarding use of diverters and circles which refer to City of Seattle standards. Mr. Adamson concurred in the request. Referring to the request to waive the requirement for 10-foot easement on N. 6th, Councilwoman Mathews requested assurance that the acquisition cost for the easement be reserved in the $1.1 million bond posted by the developer. Councilman Reed felt that a waiver of the requirement is premature, and requested that the Administration report back to Council with background information regarding the reason for the requirement and the effect of waiver or deferral.

The Committee set the policy that it wished to avoid additional traffic impacting the residential neighborhoods including along Garden Avenue North. With this in mind, the Committee makes the following recommendation concerning an acceptable traffic mitigation program: 1. There shall be formed a joint City/Citizen Committee concerning traffic diversion from the single family residences of North Renton which shall be all streets in North Renton, except for North 3rd, North 4th and Park Avenue N. The purpose of this effort will be to arrive at a joint staff-neighborhood recommendation to the City Council as to the traffic diversion steps that would be the most effective to preserve this single family neighborhood. If a single recommendation cannot be obtained , then a report should be submitted to the Council. detailing the two or + three best methods with the Council making the final decision. This recommendationshall be made by July 1, 1988. 2. On Park Avenue N. there should be no parking during peak traffic hours. This will permit four lanes of traffic, two northbound, two southbound. 3. Install a "C" curb on Park Ave. from the north property line of Park Plaza through the intersection of North 5th prohibiting left turns on Park Ave. North. Left turns would also be prohibited at North 6th. The developer shall also provide an additional 10' of right-of-way along the west property line from North 6th to North 5th for potential future widening of Park Ave. North to 5 lanes. 4. There shall be designed a turn movement southbound on Park Avenue N. at N. 3rd to minimize conflicts in the left • turning movement onto N. 3rd and the developer shall pay for any change in the signal at that location. 5. Garden Avenue N. , northbound, shall have no through traffic to Lake Washington Boulevard. The intent is to discourage regional traffic from crossing the Garden/Park/Lake Washington Boulevard intersection and proceeding down Lake Washington Boulevard. 6. North 10th shall not be built at this time. 1 • finance No. 4175 7. Fund a study to evaluate alternative 20-year development land use scenarios for the impact on the transportation system. The study should place as much emphasis on neighborhood mitigation as it does on traffic mitigation. 8. Bond $1. 2 million ($197 per trip) to fund transportation improvements recommended from the study and adopted by Council. 9. Reconstruct the intersection of Lake Washington Blvd./Park/Garden to provide an additional eastbound lane on Park Drive. 10. Realign Garden Ave. North at North 8th to remove the existing dog leg. 11. Rechannelize North 5th Street from Garden Ave. North to Park Ave. North to 3 lanes to provide left turn lane. 12. Signalize the intersection of North 6th and Garden Ave . North. 13. Provide passenger drop off lanes on Park Ave. North and North 6th Street in front of the Park Plaza and Garden Plaza Buildings. 14. Implementation of as many of these conditions as possible shall occur immediately. CITY3 : 64/11/13/87 I I I I I •‘), °p0 ti Vt[U1IVHLVI_•r.

OLD BUSINESS Council President Keolker-Wheeler presented a report regarding status of Committee of the Whole mitigation requirements related to construction of Park and Garden Plaza Rezone: E & I projects required of E & H Properties. The Committee of the Whole properties, R-016-87 recommended the following: 1. Adjustment to bond: The original legislation establishing mitigation for these projects should be amended to show a requirement for a $1.1 million bond or acceptable security instead of $1.2 million. This adjustment is necessary due to an arithmetical error at the time of adoption of the ordinance. This item was referred to Ways and Means Committee. 2. Lake Washington/Park/Garden Avenue reconstruction and signal modifications: The Council acknowledged that the required improvements to the intersection cannot be accomplished prior to occupancy of the building. E & H Properties should complete the construction of the eastbound lane on North Park Drive and install a sign for "right turn only" at Garden Avenue until a signal pole sign is installed. Channelization to divert northbound traffic from Garden to North Park Drive shall be done prior to occupancy. Completion of the signalization and full intersection improvements shall be accomplished as soon as possible and no later than January 1, 1989. ' 3. Realignment of Garden Avenue North from North 6th to North 8th: The Council concurs with the assessment of the administration that this mitigation measure cannot be completed prior to occupancy. The Council recommends that the following measures be taken as interim steps in lieu of the development. ra. Construct traffic signals at the east and west legs of Garden Avenue. These signals shall be constructed to city standard design; however, E & H shall be permitted to install a temporary installation at the west leg for a period not to exceed 90 days beginning October 1 to allow acquisition of necessary equipment. E & H Properties shall bear the full cost for design and installation of interim systems. b. E & H Properties must submit a bond or other security acceptable to the Finance Director and the City Attorney in an amount sufficient to guarantee that the project can be constructed at a later date; the responsibility for design, acquisition and construction shall rest entirely with E & H Properties. 4. The installation of the traffic circles/diverters required as a result of the North Renton neighborhood preservation study should be installed as soon as possible. The administration shall have responsibility to determine, based on the circumstances, whether failure to install the circles should impact issuance of occupancy permits for the subject buildings. 15. Reducing the $1.1 million bond submitted by E & H to allow credit for mitigation measures having an area-wide impact: The Committee of the Whole recommended that this topic be referred to the Transportation Committee for an analysis and recommendations prior to September 26.

With respect to the extent to which the neighborhood mitigation program was to be installed before occupancy of the buildings, the conclusion was that occupancy is not contingent upon installation of the neighborhood mitigation program. However, the developer will have installed all of the neighborhood mitigation program that he has been authorized to install by the date of occupancy. There still may be an open question about traffic diverters, but that issue is outside the control of the developer. Once the developer has been directed to install an element of the neighborhood mitigation program, the Council conditions require the installation as rapidly as possible. It was recommended that the Council permit credit against the $1.1 million bond for regional traffic improvements recommended from the study detailed above when adopted by the City Council, but limited to the six transportation improvements listed in this report. It is further recommended that the occupancy permits for the buildings not be contingent upon installation of the neighborhood mitigation program, but that the developer install those improvements as rapidly as possible after being directed to proceed.

Upon Council approval and determination that an improvement is of regional transportation benefit, credit will be given against the $1.1 million bond provided by the developer dependent upon the percentage of regional benefit. Councilwoman Mathews clarified that the developer had agreed to complete 46 traffic improvements in addition to posting a $1.1 million bond. The six aforementioned traffic improvements, either part or whole, are eligible for credit if determined to be regional in nature by the Council. *MOTION CARRIED.

Box 1518 Bellevue, Washington 98009 Telephone (206) 455-7400 August 22, 1988 Honorable Earl Clymer, Mayor Honorable Councilmembers City of Renton 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, Washington 98055 Re: E&H Properties Office Developments; Realignment of Garden Avenue North between North 6th and North 8th Dear Mayor Clymer and Councilmembers: PACCAR understands that E&H Properties will provide a report to the Council during its work session on Monday, August 22, concerning the status of E&H satisfaction of its various rezone and site plan conditions for construction of its North Renton office buildings now approaching completion. One of the conditions E&H will discuss is the status of realigning Garden Avenue North between North 6th and North 8th. Because this realignment has an impact on PACCAR's Renton facility, as well as upon others, PACCAR wishes to present its views concerning this subject for consideration by the Council in conjunction with review of this E&H Properties condition. Some new developments have occurred since the Council imposed this requirement in November 1987 which must be taken into account. The street realignment, as proposed by the City, would proceed through the northwest corner of PACCAR'S existing property behind Kenworth's existing R&D building, and sever approximately three acres of PACCAR land. This right-of- way was first identified during 1987 at a time when PACCAR was negotiating with Boeing for sale of the north 40 acres of the PACCAR facility, including the portion affected by the proposed realignment. of Garden Avenue North. Because it was then believed that sale to Boeing would be consummated, and Boeing expressed no objection to the proposed realignment, PACCAR had no reason for concern about the impacts of the realigned street on the northwest portion of its facility. The significance to PACCAR of the proposed street realignment has changed since November 1987, when PACCAR sale negotiations with Boeing were terminated, and again since January 1988, when PACCAR announced its intention to redevelop this property for a new Kenworth truck plant. Comments about the proposed path of the realigned street are expressed later in this letter. The first issue presented is the timing of the proposed realignment of Garden Avenue North. Since the City imposed upon E&H Properties the rezone condition of realigning Garden Avenue North through PACCAR's property in late 1987 a number of developments have occurred respecting soils and groundwater contamination on the PACCAR property. Early in 1988 PACCAR began a voluntary Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study with Washington Department of Honorable Earl Clymer, Mayor Honorable Councilmembers August 22, 1988 Page Two Ecology designed to accomplish an expedited cleanup of the PACCAR Renton site to facilitate redevelopment for the proposed Kenworth truck plant. This Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study, and development of an agreed remediation plan, will probably require 2 years to complete, and fair weather construction probably cannot begin until mid-1990. In that regard, both PACCAR and DOE consider inadvisable any accelerated street construction through an area of the PACCAR property that has not been fully studied, and DOE has communicated its views to City staff (letter attached) . In addition, on June 21 EPA nominated the PACCAR Renton facility for inclusion on the National Priorities List (Superfund list) which nomination, if finalized, could involve EPA in the oversight of Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Studies and the cleanup for the PACCAR site, thereby further complicating any interim development of this property, including for street purposes, for at least the next 2 years. These considerations alone cause PACCAR to urge deferral of any Garden Avenue North realignment on the PACCAR property until appropriate treatment of contamination has been fully resolved. We understand that City staff and E&H Properties concur in PACCAR's and DOE's concern that street alignment be delayed until these matters are addressed. In addition, we understand E&H Properties may propose some interim traffic signalization at the two intersections of existing Garden Avenue North with North 8th, utilizing traffic signal equipment already on order. This will provide some measure of traffic improvement at the Garden Avenue - North 8th intersection. Delay in street construction need not raise concerns over appropriate assurance of funding when the street is actually built. It appears that E&H could bond its obligation to fund realignment of this street, or provide other financial assurances satisfactory to the City, to assure that funding is available to satisfy this rezone condition if and when the street realignment is constructed. The remaining issues deal with further consideration of whether and how Garden Avenue North should eventually be modified. As PACCAR understands it, the City's proposal to realign Garden was considered part of a five-year traffic improvement plan for North Renton, and was not necessitated by additional traffic introduced by the E&H office projects per se. During the next year, the City will be undertaking its Arterial Street Study with the participation of a nationally-recognized traffic consultant, and will also study amendments to the land use and circulation elements of the North Renton Comprehensive Plan. There is a distinct possibility that either or both of these studies could result in street planning for North Renton which reaches a different conclusion respecting the necessity to realign Garden Avenue North or where any realignment is best located. At present, not all traffic consultants who have looked at the proposed Garden Avenue North street realignment have agreed that it is a necessary traffic improvement. Honorable Earl Clymer, Mayor Honorable Councilmembers August 22, 1988 Page Three A related issue is the location of the realigned street, assuming that these pending studies conclude that realignment is necessary to eliminate the existing "dog leg" where Garden intersects North 8th at two locations, as opposed to other traffic measures (signalization, etc.) . PACCAR has, by letter to the City dated May 25, expressed a preference for a different realignment of Garden Avenue North, if the "dog leg" must be eliminated, to avoid severing a substantial portion of the northwest corner of our property and creating severe limitations on its use in connection with redevelopment for a Kenworth truck plant. On the other hand, Boeing has resisted passage of the realigned street through its 10-60 Building parking lot for similar reasons. The impacts of realignment on Boeing and PACCAR require further study and consideration of whether the benefits of realignment exceed the impacts on PACCAR or Boeing property resulting from realignment, taking into account conclusions reached in the Renton Arterial Street Study and North Renton Comprehensive Plan studies. To summarize, PACCAR believes that realignment of Garden Avenue North, if that realignment is to pass through any material portion of PACCAR's Renton property, should and must be deferred until completion of PACCAR's Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study conducted under the auspices of Ecology and/or EPA, so that any necessary remediation associated with street construction is integrated with a properly conducted Remedial Investigation. An estimated 2 years from now will be required to determine and accomplish any required remediation in the northwest corner of the PACCAR property and arrange any fair weather construction activities. Second, assurance of funding of E&H Properties' obligation to realign Garden Avenue North, if and when that occurs, can be arranged at this time even though street construction is deferred, whether by bonding, letter of credit or other financial device negotiated between the City and E&H Properties. If for any reason the street is not ultimately realigned as originally proposed, the funding commitment required of E&H could be used for other traffic improvements in North Renton as determined by the City. Third, the issue of whether, and along what course, Garden Avenue North should be modified should await completion of the Renton Arterial Street Study and Comprehensive Plan land use and circulation element amendments, which studies could shed additional light on appropriate traffic revisions for North Renton, including Garden Avenue North. Honorable Earl Clymer, Mayor Honorable Councilmembers August 22, 1988 Page Four PACCAR remains willing to work with the City and other affected parties in resolving Garden Avenue North and other proposed traffic improvements in North Renton in a mutually acceptable manner.

We prefer this option for the reasons that it has the fewest adverse impacts on the development of the PACCAR site; it creates the best access for the E&H parking garage and Boeing parking along Garden; and it entails the shortest out-of-direction travel for Garden Avenue traffic. In addition, right-of-way required from the Boeing parking lot for the 10-60 building would presumably be replaced by like space nearby from vacating existing Garden Avenue by-passed north of 8th Street. We consider the only other viable alternate, which is much less desirable, to be that shown on Attachment 2. This is similar to the City' s pending proposal , except that the "Y" link between existing Garden North and the new right-of-way is eliminated. This option would sever about 4 acres of the PDS site, which is highly undesirable. If unavoidable, then this sev- erance should create a usable parcel no smaller than 4.5 acres to accommodate any of the uses Kenworth is considering, including by acquiring portions of vacated Garden Avenue North. Note that access for the E&H parking garage may still not be satisfactorily addressed by this option. Accordingly, this states PACCAR' s position on realignment of Garden Avenue North. As always we will work with the City, E&H Properties and Boeing to try and arrive at a mutually acceptable street realignment plan.

Norris Traffic Engineer City of Renton 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, Washington 98055 Re: Garden Avenue Realignment between North 6th and North 8th, Renton Dear Gary: We have not had any "feedback" concerning PACCAR's letter of May 25, 1988 • respecting our preferred option for the location of realigned Garden Avenue North. Survey stakes are visible along the originally proposed internal right-of-way which would sever our R&D facility, and apparently geotechnical testing of this alignment is about to commence. Yesterday Bush, Roed & Hitchings met with PACCAR to review survey drawings of this same routing. We would appreciate discussion of how realignment planning is progressing and what consideration is being given to PACCAR's preferred option for street realignment, which is different from the route the City seems to be pursuing and would do considerably less harm to Kenworth 's proposed facility.

The Pacific Car and Foundry Site (PACCAR) in Renton, Wa• has been designated as a "State Superfund Site" under RCW 70.105B. It has recently been proposed as a site addition to the National Priorities List under EPA's CERCLA regulations. Negotiations with PACCAR have been proceeding since January, 1988 for a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) , and a consent decree, under RCW 70.105B. PACCAR o ad s assumed their own liability in proceeding with the Ecology app RI/FS prior to the signing of the consent decree. The investigation and study are proceeding at this time. We are concerned with disturbances or construction that might occur on the site prior to completion of the site assessment. This understanding of site conditions (RCW 7or environmentals r site. The city should carefully note that RCW 70.105B.040 defines standards of liability for contaminated sites. One of these standards relates to owners and is defined as "any person with any ownership interest in the facility." The definition of facility includes "landfill" and "any site or area where a hazardous substance. . .has been deposited, stored, disposed of, or placed. . .etc." The area for the proposed Garden Street realignment is located in the known contaminated landfill area inth northern portion of the PACCAR site. Any party obtainingthis property would then assume liability as an owner under 70. 105B. Mr. John Adamson July 22, 1988 Page 2 • Enclosed is a copy of RCW 70.105B for your review.

The Committee set the policy that it wished to avoid additional traffic impacting the residential neighborhoods including along Garden Avenue North. With this in mind, the Committee makes the following recommendation concerning an acceptable traffic mitigation program: 1. There shall be formed a joint City/Citizen Committee concerning traffic diversion from the single family residences of North Renton which shall be all streets in North Renton, except for North 3rd, North 4th and Park Avenue N. The purpose of this effort will be to arrive at a joint staff-neighborhood recommendation to the City Council as to the traffic diversion steps that would be the most effective to preserve this single family neighborhood. If a single recommendation cannot be obtained , then a report should be submitted to the Council detailing the two or three best methods with the Council making the final decision. This recommendationshall be made by July 1, 1988. 2. On Park Avenue N. there should be no parking during peak traffic hours. This will permit four lanes of traffic, two northbound, two southbound. 3. Install a "C" curb on Park Ave. from the north property line of Park Plaza through the intersection of North 5th prohibiting left turns on Park Ave. North. Left turns would also be prohibited at North 6th. The developer shall also provide an additional 10 ' of right-of-way along the west property line from North 6th to North 5th for potential future widening of Park Ave. North to 5 lanes. 4. There shall be designed a turn movement southbound on Park Avenue N. at N. 3rd to minimize conflicts in the left turning movement onto N. 3rd and the developer shall pay for any change in the signal at that location. 5. Garden Avenue N. , northbound, shall have no through traffic to Lake Washington Boulevard. The intent is to discourage regional traffic from crossing the Garden/Park/Lake Washington Boulevard intersection and proceeding down Lake Washington Boulevard. 6. North 10th shall not be built at this time. 7. Fund a study to evaluate alternative 20-year development land use scenarios for the impact on the transportation . 7. Fund a study to evaluate alternative 20-year development land use scenarios for the impact on the transportation system.

A proposed plan is now complete and ready for public review. The plan covers streets from Burnett to Sunset Boulevard and includes the area south of North 6th Street. The plan proposes installation of traffic circles and/or diverters at several locations. It also proposes a number of signs restricting turns and recommends some landscaping improvements. The traffic circles or diverters are proposed for the following intersections: 6th and Pelly 5th and Pelly 1st and Pelly 6th and Williams 5th and Williams 2nd and Meadow 6th and Wells 5th and Wells The City of Renton, Policy Development Department is sponsoring this meeting to provide the public with information about this proposed plan. A complete list of the recommendations and copies of the Neighborhood Protection,Plan will be available June 1st from the Policy Development Department, City Hall, 3rd floor, 235-2552. era Ma;/ 2. 1988 Renton City Council Minutes Page 141 Renton Fire Department: Batallion Chief Ray Barilleaux informed Mayor and Council of the nature Structure Fire of May 1, and extent of the structure fire at 401 Rainier Avenue South on May 1, 1988. 1988 The structure belonged to three different businesses, one being the warehouse for B&B Auto Parts, was approximately a 300 x 100 foot cinder block structure which was fully engulfed in flames. Flammable liquids contained in the building made fighting the fire extremely difficult, which ultimately required assistance from the City of Kent, Fire District 20, City of Tukwila and the Boeing Fire Department. A total of 45 fire fighters was used to combat the fire, 3 fire fighters were injured, none seriously. One civilian in the structure when the fire erupted, was injured. The fire erupted when the civilian attempted to snuff out a cigarette on the floor next to a puddle which erupted in flames. It was noted that "no smoking" signs were in place. Damage has been estimated at $100,000 to the structure and $350,000 to contents. It took the fire fighters 2 hours to bring the fire under control. Mayor Clymer commended the Renton Fire Department and assisting departments for their tremendous effort to contain the fire. Mayor Clymer extended congratulations to Renton Fire Fighter John Hanning who recently won first place at the statewide Chili Cooking Contest that was held at the Southcenter Pavillion. SPECIAL For the purpose of receiving policy decision from the City Council PRESENTATION concerning proposed changes in the Metro bus routes in North Renton, a Citizen Committee: North Special Presentation was scheduled at the request of Policy Development Renton Citizen's Department, for Council to address issues: 1.) Whether increased bus service Advisory Committee, Bus to the Senior Center is desired; 2.) Can service to the Senior Center be Routes in North Renton accomplished without impacting local residential streets, with regard to Metro's proposed bus route changes in North Renton; and 3.) Would bus service along Lake Washington Boulevard N. be considered in the publics' interest and is there adequate width to support said route. Correspondence was read which included a petition bearing 51 signatures of Renton residents requesting the City Council disapprove the proposed change of Metro bus route #107, stating that the negative impacts of the change far exceed the benefits, creating traffic congestion and noise in a residential area and reducing bus service to East Central Renton. Further correspondence from Lorraine and John P. Hargrove, 105 Wells Avenue North, Renton, requested Council disapprove the proposed bus route change claiming no merit, outlining that Metro's map is mislabelled; that individuals not able to walk 200 yards to the Senior Center from the existing route, will undoubtedly not utilize the new route; the proposed change will eliminate bus service to City Hall, Liberty Park, Carco Theater and Renton Public Library, and notes that the change will double the amount of buses during an average day through North Renton's neighborhood. Further correspondence from Charlotte and James Buss, 100 Williams Avenue North, Renton, protested proposed bus route change, stating that current bus traffic past residence causes home to shake greatly. Further correspondence from Carol.Johnson, 806 North Riverside Drive, Renton, opposed the proposed bus route change, due to fact that the benefits are few and has a negative benefit for many people living in North Renton, and ultimately shakes residence as buses pass by. Further correspondence from Wyman K. Dobson, 821 North 1st Street, Renton, opposed route change in Metro bus route #107, stating that those benefiting from change, primarily senior citizens, will be few in contrast to those affected by the negative impact. Negative aspects were listed as: excessive noise which would disturb many people; narrow streets; creation of hazardous crossings; elimination of 6 stops serving East Central Renton; and writer's opinion that few people will use the service, and requested Council weigh the positive and negative features of proposed change and oppose said route change. Councilman Stredicke advised that he received two letters opposing bus route changes, one from Diane Dobson, and another from Theresa Zimmerman, Secretary of the North Renton Citizen's Advisory Committee. Policy Development's Senior Planner Rebecca Lind, informed Council that a meeting held with Metro, Senior Center Representatives and the North Renton Advisory Committee, attempting to work out a compromise that would reduce the impact on local residential streets as well as providing requested additional service to Metro. The Renton Senior Center is currently served by bus line 155, which provides service from the south. Senior Center staff and citizens would like increased service from the Highlands which makes up roughly one-third of Renton's population. Metro is proposing several route changes in order to improve local service and expand service to the Senior Center, wherein, the Senior Center Advisory Committee supports • May 2. 1988 Renton City Council Minutes Page 142 the proposal. The North Renton Citizen's Advisory Committee opposes the Metro proposal because it contradicts the purpose of the North Renton Protection Plan and impacts local streets. A compromise proposal suggested by the North Renton Advisory Committee is unacceptable to Metro. Metro requested that the City either approve or disapprove the route changes as • proposed. Referring to vicinity maps, Senior Planner Rebecca Lind, outlined four existing proposed Metro bus route changes, noted opposition from Kennydale residents and North Renton residents. The main opposition is primarily directed at route 107. The existing 107 route originates in the ' Highlands and travels through North Renton enroute to Seattle, travelling on Park to Bronson and uses South 2nd and South 3rd couplet to head east and west, with the proposed change to expand service from the Highlands to the Senior Center, leaving Park at Fourth travelling south on Burnett stopping at the Senior Center, then heading down Williams to South 2nd. The return route would be north from South 3rd using Wells/N. First and Burnett, then using North 3rd to head east to Park. The Citizen's Advisory Committee proposed route 107 along N. 6th to Logan Avenue North. Metro advised that this service would not adequately service the Senior Center and would result in rider frustration, confusion, adversely affect ridership and be too costly. Additional compromise proposed to Metro from staff would be to implement two-way travel on Williams, which met opposition from area residents who claimed two-way travel on Williams would add confusion and disrupt the existing pattern of traffic. In further response to Council inquiry, Parks Director, John Webley discussed the fact that the mini-vans have limited service, providing service to the handicapped and shut-ins, and noted that information received from seniors in the Highlands area that adequate transportation is not available to the Senior Center. Ride sharing amongst seniors is utilized, but adequate parking is not provided to accommodate the automobiles, even though the parking area was enlarged at the Senior Center. Councilman Hughes noted�his sup port pport for requested changes in service to allow increased bus service to the Senior Center from the Highlands, noted that this change is in the public interest, any impact should be offset by convenience to riders, and ultimately reduce traffic. In response to Council President Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry, Senior Planner Rebecca Lind stated she would try to secure a meeting with Metro, North Renton Citizen's Advisory Committee, the Senior Center Advisory Committee, and staff to try to reach a compromise regarding Metro's bus route change proposals and allow for additional service to the Highlands without eliminating service to City Hall, Library, Liberty Park, Carco Theatre and Fire Department. Metro Board Member Mayor Clymer reported Metro had postponed the subject of the route change since 4/5/88 at his request.

CARRIED. %o CITY OF RENT ON POLICY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Earl Clymer, Mayor MEMORANDUM April 28, 1988 TO: City Council FROM: Rebecca Lind, Senior Planner, Policy Development Department RE: Metro Bus Route Change Proposals PROBLEM SUMMARY Issue One: Bus Service to the Senior Center The Renton Senior Center is currently served by bus line 155, which provides service from the south. Senior Center staff and citizens would like increased service from the Highlands where roughly one-third of Renton's population resides. Metro is proposing several route changes in order to improve local service and expand service to the Senior Center. The Senior Center Advisory Committee supports the Metro proposal, The North Renton Citizen's Advisory Committee opposes the Metro proposal because they feel that it contradicts the purposes of the North Renton Protection Plan, and impacts local streets. A compromise proposal, suggested by the North Renton Advisory Committee, is unacceptable to Metro. Metro staff requests that the City either approve or disapprove the route changes as proposed. Issue Two: Bus Service on Lake Washington Blvd. Metro proposes re-routing four existing bus lines from I-405 to Lake Washington Blvd. between N. 30th and Park Ave. in order to improve local service. Kennydale residents oppose this change. They feel that Lake Washington Blvd. is too narrow, has inadequate turnouts for buses, and no pedestrian and bicycle separation. 200 Mill Avenue South - Renton, Washington 98055 - (206)235-2552 • • City Council April 28, 1988 - Page 2 EXISTING BUS ROUTES Attachments 1-6 illustrate the existing and proposed bus routes. The existing 155 route provides service to the Senior Center from the south via Rainier Ave., the S. 2nd and S. 3rd St. couplet, Logan Ave. north bound, and Burnett/First/Williams south bound. It is the only existing service to the Senior Center. The existing 107 route originates in the Highlands and travels through North Renton enroute to Seattle. The line travels on Park to Bronson and uses the S. 2nd and S. 3rd couplet to go east and west. This route is from Metro staff's point of view a successful line with higher than average ridership on other portions of the route. Because of this ridership, the route is not considered appropriate for a minibus. The existing 108, 240, 247, and 340 lines operate in Kennydale. They now leave I-405 at N. 30th, make a loop in Kennydale to pick up passengers in the vicinity of N. 30th and return to the freeway. They exit again at Park Ave. to serve North Renton. METRO PROPOSALS Metro originally proposed modifying the 155 route so that it used Williams and Wells. After discussion with Renton citizens, Metro determined that the proposed changes would not significantly improve local service. Metro is now willing to withdraw the proposed changes to the existing 155 route. The 155 will become a minibus line with revised scheduling. The 107 line is proposed for expanded service from the Highlands to the Senior Center. The proposed 107 route leaves Park at Fourth, travels south on Burnett, stops at the Senior Center, and goes down Williams to S. 2nd. It returns north from S. 3rd using Wells/N.First and Burnett, then uses N. 3rd to go east to Park. The 108, 240, 247 and 340 lines would be changed to re-route these buses down Lake Washington Blvd. after they exit from I-405 at N. 30th in Kennydale. The purpose of this change is to provide local service along Lake Washington Blvd. between N. 30th and Park Ave. Metro staff identified the Griffin Home and the Marina Landing Apartments as higher density locations which could benefit from bus service. SENIOR CENTER POSITION The Senior Center Advisory Board is requesting the proposed route 107 from the Highlands to the Senior Center. They feel that since many seniors cannot walk long distances, a route passing through North Renton to the Center would be helpful. They further commented that increased bus service would relieve the existing parking shortage at the Center. The Seniors initiated this route change proposal. Documentation of this request is included in attachment 7. NORTH RENTON ADVISORY COMMITTEE POSITION The North Renton Advisory Committee is opposed to the extension of bus service on local streets. They feel that these streets are narrow and that buses will increase noise and congestion in the residential neighborhood. In this context they consider buses to be traffic. They request that the buses remain on arterials. City Council April 28, 1988 Page 3 The Advisory Committee interprets Resolution 2708 (A Resolution of the City of Renton Concerning Preservation of North Renton and Kennydale Neighborhoods from Deterioration Due to Traffic) as a commitment from the City Council to protect North Renton and Kennydale neighborhoods from any increase in traffic. They feel that extension of bus services as proposed by Metro violates the intention of the neighborhood protection program referred to in Section III of the Resolution. In addition, they feel that Metro's proposal violates Section IV of the Resolution. This section addresses the North Third corridor. The resolution states, "It is a high priority to keep the traffic levels on this street at current levels or below and to focus on creative reasonable alternatives to lessen the traffic burden at peak hours on this street." Similarly, they feel that Section VI indicates a policy of protecting Lake Washington Blvd. in its present condition from additional traffic. The North Renton Advisory Committee is not opposed to the expanded service to the Senior Center if it can be provided using existing arterial routes or on existing bus lines. For example, they are not opposed to the proposed south bound 107 route because buses are already using Burnett and Williams. They are specifically opposed to the use of Wells, N. First and N. Third for the north bound route. The area of actual disagreement is small -- N. First between Williams and Wells, Wells between N. First and S. Second, and N. 3rd St. (See attachment 3.) PROPOSED COMPROMISE The Citizens Advisory Committee proposed two alternative routes. The first was to route 107 along N. 6th and Logan Ave.N. This alternative was not discussed in detail since Metro staff felt that it would not adequately service the Senior Center. The second alternative discussed was to have the 107 line take the same loop northbound that the 155 currently uses. The citizens suggested that this loop could only be in operation during non-peak hours, 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The committee is willing to compromise on the south bound route and accept the Metro proposal for it. The Seniors agreed that this loop compromise would work for them, although they were concerned that the reduced hours of service might compromise some programs at the Center. Metro's position was that modification of the 107 route proposal would result in an unacceptable reduction of service They feel that the route as proposed is the only workable alternative to the existing route. Their reasoning is summarized as follows. (See Attachment 8). 1) Loop routes add time and result in rider frustration 2 Changing the route in the middle of the day is confusing. 3) A loop in the middle of the route would adversely affect ridership. City Council April 28, 1988 • Page 4 4) The loop route would be costly. Metro is asking the City to either say "yes" or "no" to its existing proposal. ADDITIONAL COMPROMISE ROUTES Staff raised the possibility of an additional compromise route involving a two-way Williams. This was the only other possible alternative that we could identify. If Williams were two-way between N. 1st. and N. 2nd, both the north and south bound buses could use Burnett/Williams. The Citizen's committee opposed this idea because they prefer a one-way Williams. However, most of this section of Williams is outside the protection area. This idea may be technically feasible but it raises some other issues. First, the residential neighborhood along S. Williams may be opposed to a two-way operation. Second, the City may oppose changing the street patterns in a portion of the downtown. This action could increase driver confusion and disrupt the existing pattern of traffic flow. Third, costs to the City could become an issue. REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION There are three issues before the Council: 1) Does the Council want increased bus service to the Senior Center? 2) Can service to the Center be accomplished without impacting local residential streets? Council needs to determine whether the potential impact on local streets is significant enough to warrant either a) no additional service to the Senior Center or b) one of the suggested.alternative routes, 3) Would bus service along Lake Washington Blvd. be considered in the public interest? Does Lake Washington Blvd. have adequate width and pedestrian access to use it for local bus routes?. Metro requests the City's response to the proposed bus routes by May 4th. They ask the Council to either approve or disapprove the routes as proposed. RL37:wr , . . . . RO U T E 15 5 , .

Webley, Director April 26, 1988 Mr. Allen Gibbs, Executive Director Metro 821 Second Avenue Seattle, WA 98104 Dear Mr. Gibbs: The Mayor's Advisory Board, of the Renton Senior Center, would like to go on record of being in total support of the new proposed bus service that would be serving the Renton Senior Center. We feel the proposed service is needed and wanted by senior citizens and will better serve seniors in our community, particularly seniors living in the Renton Highlands area. Transportation always has been and always will be one of our great- est concerns that we as senior citizens have to deal with. We are concerned not only about our present situation regarding our need for transportation, but what will happen to us in the future if the new proposal is turned down. The Renton Senior Center has enjoyed tremendous growth within the last three years and we would hope that transportation services would also ease our parking problems at the Renton Senior Center.

These September 1988 changes were proposed in order to better serve the North Renton community, including the Senior Center. Currently almost all service is con- centrated on Park Avenue. -I appreciate your concern about traffic in your neighborhood and feel that making transit more attractive might actually help reduce congestion. Jim Arrowsmith of Metro staff attended your committee meetings on March 20 and April 19 to explain the proposals and hear your concerns. Based on those concerns, we have revised our proposal by dropping the proposed change in the Route 155 routing in North Renton. It would have had a modest impact on neighborhood streets by adding only one vehicle per hour. We find that we must continue to support the Route 107 change as originally proposed. Our evaluation of alter- natives has determined that the only other workable option is to keep the current routing via Park Avenue. Retaining the current routing has no impact on current riders but would not meet our goal to improve service to the Senior Center and the neighborhood surrounding it. Our proposed routing would serve the Senior Center and vicinity (providing direct access from the Bryn Mawr and Highlands areas , as well as to/from Seattle ) , yet would maintain service to most of Park Avenue and the downtown Renton area. The proposed new routing would operate on arterial streets and, with the exception of N Fourth and N Third Streets , would operate on the periphery of the North Renton neighborhood. Route 107 generally has one bus per hour in each direction. We reviewed two other suggested routings and found them unacceptable. One was to use North 6th Street and Logan Avenue North. Aside from safety problems in establishing stops at N. Third and Logan, this would inadequately serve . • Ms . Theresa Zimmerman April 25 , 1988 Page Two the Senior Center and downtown Renton, and would result in a degradation of service to the North Renton area. The other suggestion, illustrated on an attached map, was to operate midday service past the Senior Center in a clockwise loop starting and ending in downtown Renton. This routing would add considerable time to the schedule, requiring us to add a coach at a cost of approximately $67 ,000 per year. Even if there were no costs associated, the deviation would add about 6 minutes of travel time for each current Route 107 rider. Since the route currently carries an average of about 11 passengers per trip at this point during the midday, this delay greatly exceeds our standard for route deviations of 10 passenger-minutes of delay. We feel that Metro ' s proposed change to Route 107 would improve service to the neighborhood and Senior Center. We will proceed with this change only with the approval of the City of Renton, which is best suited to balance the conflicting community interests. Rebecca Lind, the City staff person working with your committee, is aware that we will need the City' s direction in this regard by mid-May, in order to implement the change by September. We have appreciated the opportunity to work with you and your committee on this matter.

The citizens and staff worked toward a common objective: to divert commuter traffic away from the residential areas. However, in some instances we had different definitions of what level of problem requires a solution. We also had different points of view about the effectiveness of solutions. Consequently we "agreed to disagree" on some issues and decided to prepare two sets of recommendations. We also agreed to coordinate our reports for the Council members convenience in reviewing and comparing the proposals. The committee's independent report, together with staff comments on the committee proposals and staff recommendations are attached for your review. Background The committee was formed by the Council as a condition of the E. & H. Properties rezone approval for the Garden Plaza project. The intent was to involve citizens in the preparation of a Neighborhood Protection Plan which would be implemented with funds from the developer. Committee members include: Versie Vaupel, Chair, Marge Richter, Vice Chair, Theresa Zimmerman, Secretary, Bruce Wicks and Vesta Bolstad. The Committee mission was: 1. Review and make recommendations to the City Council about a proposed Neighborhood Protection Plan. Plan objectives include the following: a. Reduce the impact of existing and future through traffic on single family residential neighborhoods. b. Enhance the quality of life in single family neighborhoods. 2. Review specific techniques for diverting traffic out of residential areas. Techniques include the following: street closures, partial closures, traffic circles, speed bumps and signage. 200 Mill Avenue South - Renton, Washington 98055 - (206)235-2552 Memo to Transportation Committee April 6, 1988 Page 2 3. Represent area residents in the planning and decision making process, and review staff proposals for North Renton prior to City Council review. 4. Resolve conflict between various interest groups where possible. Where conflict can not be resolved, present the issue to the City Council in a succinct manner. Staff responsibilities including acting as technical advisor to the committee, organizing meetings and materials and making a preliminary recommendation. Summary of Meetings: The Committee developed a map of the borders of a proposed neighborhood protection area and a list of possible traffic diversion techniques. Members also participated in radar gun testing of traffic speeds at several locations in North Renton. Meeting minutes were prepared by the Secretary and are attached in Exhibit A for your information. During the Committee's deliberations we learned that Metro is currently proposing bus line changes in this study area which would impact the protection program. The Committee heard a presentation from Metro staff, developed a recommendation opposing these route changes and wrote a letter to Metro opposing this action. A copy of the proposed changes and the committee letter are in Exhibit D. Methodology These recommendations were developed as a result of compromise, discussion and collaboration between citizens and staff. In reviewing the specific proposals, council members will note several differences in the citizen's recommendation and staff comments. These differences occur over issues such as where the border of the protection area should be, and the effectiveness of the various proposed alternatives such as signs and speed bumps. The citizen's approach is more detailed and fine tuned to a residential point of view. The staffs perspective is general and considers overall policies of the City, ability to enforce the provisions as well as a response to the problem of commuter traffic. Despite these differences, there is little in the citizen's report that staff directly opposes, provided that emergency response times can be maintained. Many of the citizens recommendations are feasible but have negative consequences which the staff believes should be pointed out. In addition, staff feels there are often different, simpler but equally valid solutions to problems. Staff recommends that whatever program is adopted be implemented on a 60 day trial basis. Where diverters are proposed we recommend using inexpensive barrels during the trial period with attractive permanent structures to be installed later. This will allow ample time for comments without major expenditures. Recommended Council Action Upon review of the attached recommendations we request that Council indicate which proposals you would like to implement and direct staff to prepare a detailed proposal. Additional information would include: Memo to Transportation Committee April 6, 1988 Page 3 1) Cost estimates of proposed actions. 2) Determination of the extent of the problem. Specifically identify and document including traffic counts and studies the nature and extent of the problem. From this study perhaps a simpler solution might arise. 3) Formal comments from Police, Fire, Public Works and Parks. Cost estimates do not yet exist for any of these proposals. In addition, we do not yet have updated traffic volume counts for many of the problem areas. Staff recommends that we take the time to do these counts prior to implementation of the plan so that we can measure the impact of the program. It is further recommended that citizens be involved in the data collection effort and in the analysis of the program's effectiveness during the trial period. Staff recommends that the Council hold a public hearing on the proposed protection plan prior to implementation of the trial period, and direct staff to carry out the necessary notification. Staff requests conceptual approval so that a more specific, well documented and designed proposal can be prepared and presented to you.

NORTH RENTON CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT CONCERNING TRAFFIC MITIGATION IN THE NORTH RENTON NEIGHBORHOOD PROTECTION AREA PURPOSE This report sets forth certain recommendations in an attempt to mitigate some of the traffic impacts on the residential streets of North Renton. Per Attachment A of City Ordinance No. 4098 establishing this Committee, the area to be studied "shall be all streets in North Renton, except for North 3rd, North 4th and Park Avenue N." Because it is impossible to study traffic in North Renton without look- 1 ing at those traffic-packed corridors, the Committee did refer to some aspects of traffic mitigations in primarily peripheral ways. I. BACKGROUND North Renton residents have been long suffering, and their home surroundings it have been overflowing with vehicular traffic which use and abuse their neighborhood streets. Much of the traffic coming through the residential areas has no beginning or end within the City; an additional impact is created by Boeing, PACCAR and other businesses immediately to the north. Now, the residents are further threatened with more traffic from the new commercial expansion and still further threatened with heavy traffic caused by an eventual "build-out" of the industrially- and commercially- zoned areas. The City of Renton, in the late 1960s, began to create adverse living conditions for neighbors living here, especially on North 3rd and North 4th. For instance, in one single ill-fated and poorly planned stroke, the City, somehow in its infinite wisdom, chose to four-lane North 3rd in one direction going east (which had been a quiet dead-end street at each terminus) and North 4th in one direction going west which had been dead-ended on the west, thus making a four-lane throughway in each 'I direction on these residential streets, with more vehicle capacity at any one time than I-405 with only two lanes in each direction) . From this City effort to accommodate drivers from outside the City over and above the health, welfare and safety of local residents, the real disintegration of those streets and the adjacent housing began. With thousands of commuters being readily able to access those streets, hordes of cars and trucks with considerable gridlock became the norm, and soon, spill-over onto other streets was inevitable. Citizens from this area have been asking for relief from heavy traffic volumes and their speeds with the attendant noise, pollution and safety hazards. When threatened with new development in the area in 1987, numerous residents made phone calls, lobbied officials, wrote letters, and appeared at meeting after meeting. A coalition organization was formed with Kennydale which eventually went to court to gain concessions from the City to alleviate some of the traffic problems. As an outgrowth of the rezone ordinance and subsequent legal action, one of the concessions was Council Resolution No. 2708 which further expanded on the ; idea of protective measures for North Renton; one measure was the creation of this citizens' committee, which had first been recommended by Council ordinance back in November. Finally, in February, this Committee was formed. The committee mandate was to study, plan and recommend specific traffic diverter techniques. iF II s II. SUMMARY OF MEETINGS The citizens' working committee members are: Theresa Zimmerman, Bruce Wicks, Versie Vaupel, Marjorie Richter and Vesta Bolstad, with regular resident partici- pation by Warren Vaupel, Robert Kubasta, Dorothy Kubasta,Art Wood, Darrel Igelmund, Liz Waltner and Earl Waltner. Senior Planner Rebecca Lind was meeting facilitator. Others who attended were Fire Marshal Glen Gordon, Officer Bill File and Traffic i Engineer Gary Norris. Attendee Roger Blaylock represented E & H Properties, de- veloper of two large office buildings with parking garages; that developer will provide the financial assurance to implement the traffic diverter system. Minutes of the meetings were kept by Theresa Zimmerman and are attached as Exhibit A. III. METHODOLOGY Both the citizens' group and the City staff suggested various means of diverting traffic and reducing speeds in the neighborhoods. The staff concurred in some of the methods proposed. There was some disagreement as to the need for and the location and type of diverter chosen. Some of the major differences re- ;; lated to the use of four-way stop signs, speed bumps/humps in alleys and the like. During the study process, the traffic engineer loaned residents the use of a radar meter to measure speeds of vehicles. When completed, the readings were returned to Traffic and analyzed. (See Exhibit B.) The highest average speed of 30.41 MPH in a 25 MPH zone on North 3rd does not at first sound overwhelming until the data are analyzed further. On that date (March 3, 1988) , 458 cars passed North 3rd and Factory eastbound in the morning between 9:45 and 10:45. Of that 458 figure, only 100 cars were driving within the limit, namely between 14 and 26 MPH, but 358 were clocked from 27 MPH to 46 MPH in that 25 MPH zone. Clearly, we as a community are in danger and have no safe access , to all of our own streets.* II' As to diverters, it was recommended by City staff that the blocking or semi- blocking types be installed on a temporary basis. Citizens agreed to a trial period but expect solid evidence of the diverters' value or lack thereof before action is taken to remove them or to install them elsewhere. The remainder of the citizens' recommendations are not for a trial period but trust they will be II retained indefinitely. While citizens do indeed respect the professional opinions of the staff, nonetheless, the opinions of residents, as long-time observers, should also be given weight; citizens live with the problems 24 hours a day, seven days a week, I, and know the streets and traffic problems more intimately than any other group. The methods and locations of diverters will not cure our traffic problems, but the committee members believe that doing anything less than recommended would be breaking faith with an established community that still appeals for help. IV. EXPLANATION OF EACH PROPOSAL II The following pages show a tabulation of columns with a breakdown under "North Renton Problem Area," "Citizens' Proposal," and "Discussion." The latter briefly specifies our collective reasoning of why the action is needed. V. RECOMMENDED ACTION II The citizens urge the Council members to agree to their proposals and the recommendations made to alleviate the problems. The citizens need action to relieve the hardships placed on them because of burdensome traffic patterns they have to live with every day. * See Exhibit C. NORTH RENTON CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT CONCERNING TRAFFIC MITIGATION IN THE NORTH RENTON NEIGHBORHOOD PROTECTION AREA COMMITTEE OBJECTIVES: The NRCAC meetings had one major objective, namely, to re-route commuter traffic away from the Nortn Renton resi- dential area and to discourage further commuter traffic from entering North Renton residential streets. A secondary objective is to begin long-term neighborhood involvement in beautifying and preserving the quality of this different but desirable type of community. This report is intended to detail the citizens' committee recommendations and reasons for suggesting them. NORTH RENTON PROBLEM AREA CITIZENS' PROPOSAL DISCUSSION 1.

The te4a Zunne:man 4ec4etaay, Noath Renton C3I4en'4 Advi.vity Committee it April 5, 1988 From: North Renton Citizens Advisory Committee c/o Theresa Zimmerman, Secretary 813 N. 1st Street Renton, Washington 98055 Mr. Allen Gibbs Executive Director METRO Mr. Rick Walsh Service Planning & Market Development METRO Mr. Jim Arrowsmith Transit Planner METRO 821 Second Avenue Seattle WA 98104 ' Re: Routing of Bus Traffic Through Neighborhoods Gentlemen: We are representatives of a City-appointed citizens' committee that was first established by Renton City Ordinance No. 4098 and later confirmed by City Council Resolution No. 2708. The ordinance states in part, "The purpose of this (committee) effort will be to arrive at a . . . recommendation to the City Council as to the traffic diversion steps that would be the most effective to preserve this single family neighborhood." The resolution states in part, "Diverters . . . shall mean any means of redirecting, channelization, stopping, blocking or otherwise divert- ing traffic that is without a start or end point in the neighborhood, from travel- ing in the North Renton neighborhood streets." This letter represents the unanimous opinion of the committee members, all of whom are homeowners and residents in North Renton. The purpose of this letter is to inform you that we firmly object to your re-routing proposal for North Renton res- idential areas. (We quickly add that all of us at one time or another are on record in support of Metro and other transportation methods for heavily-used facil- ities such as the Boeing plants and other large developments, in order to reduce the numbers of commuting vehicles. We have recommended to City officials to change the zoning codes to require less extensive parking lots and garages for commuting employees. ) If the reasons for our adamant opposition to the new routes through our residential area are not obvious, we hereby object because: 1. Metro services are not warranted on these residential streets, as residents are already within walking distance to established Metro routes on major arterials such as Park, Logan and downtown streets and are within walking distance to the ' Senior Citizens Center. Van-Go services are also available to senior residents if needed. Collectively, our committee members know most of the senior residents of the area (and some of us on the committee are likewise senior citizens) ; we person- - I ally know there is little or no demand for Metro services to and from our area and the Senior Citizens Center in' Renton. There is absolutely no justification to use the Senior Citizens Center as a ploy to establish the new routing through our area ' for local senior citizens. I _ 6 l`i I 2. The safety of our children and elderly residents is paramount. A driver, 1 an elderly pedestrian or children at play can not see AROUND, UNDER, OVER OR THROUGH wide, bulky buses. Commuter buses do not belong here! The size of our narrow streets (particularly Wells Avenue North) in some places is only 29 to 30 feet wide, with parking on each side of the street. Buses do not belong on such narrow streets. 3. Likewise, the size of residential lots in some cases preclude the use of bus stops. Most lots have a frontage of only 40 feet, and owners of these small lots can not be deprived of the use of their street frontage. Metro bus sizes and the bus stop spaces are not compatible with narrow streets and small lot frontages. it 4. Noise from bus motors running and the noise from air brakes which inter- mittently release loud bursts of air (even when standing) would interfere with the residents' right to be free from such noise levels. The frequency of trips and the proposed hours from early morning to late at night are unacceptable for our closely confined area. Because most houses have little setback from the street, many people's bedroom windows are within a few feet of motor traffic; these buses would add yet another annoying and unhealthful dimension to our miseries. 5. Air pollution brought about by diesel exhausts would again be unhealthful and uncomfortable. Fumes, black particulate matter and odors also brought about by diesel exhaust do not belong near confined residential housing. 6. There are always a. lot of cigarette butts and other trash, plus vandalism, around bus stops. North Renton already has a plethora of such to contend with from pass-through traffic users. We do not need further introduction of new access, new uses and new people to litter and vandalize our already abused community. We are trying to improve our area, not depreciate it! 7. When the Senior Citizens Center was planned, one of the selling points for its site was that it is within walking distance of the senior citizens living here. It is a mockery of the siting process to now use our North Renton senior residents as the reason to try to push Metro buses onto our residential streets. For outside people who want to access the Center by bus, that can be accomplished by establishing and using a bus pull-off near the Logan/North 3rd Street intersection, or other means, without interfering with our committee's mandate to divert traffic from neighborhood streets. Also, the Center is not used every day nor for long hours. 8. In conclusion, we will continue to vociferously oppose extending new bus 1 routing into and through our neighborhood. We have labored long and hard to improve our surroundings. We will not accept new efforts to crowd our neighborhood streets further, for the dubious benefits espoused by your representative.

Washington 98101 (206) 464-1435 CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON RESOLUTION NO. 2708 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, CONCERNING PRESERVATION OF NORTH RENTON AND KENNYDALE NEIGHBORHOODS FROM DETERIORATION DUE TO TRAFFIC WHEREAS the North Renton and Kennydale neighborhoods have protested excessive commuter traffic through their neighborhoods; and -- WHEREAS planned development could cause additional commuter traffic problems in these neighborhoods; and WHEREAS the City Council has previously expressed a desire to protect these neighborhoods from the incursion of excessive or unreasonable traffic to the greatest extent possible; and WHEREAS citizens groups within these two neighborhoods have made specific recommendations to the City of Renton on steps that could be taken to prevent deterioration of their neighborhoods due to traffic, NOW THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, DO RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION I: One of the City' s highest priorities is preserving the integrity of single family neighborhoods of Renton, including the Kennydale neighborhood, as a quality, single family residential neighborhood where people choose to live. SECTION II: One of the City' s highest priorities is preserving single family neighborhoods of Renton, including the North Renton area, as a quality, single family neighborhood where 1 / . RESOLUTION NO. 2708 people choose to live. It is recognized that much of this area is zoned multi-family and other zoning categories that may, in the future, result in a change in the use pattern in this area. So long as the North Renton Neighborhood remains primarily residential in character , the City will use its best efforts to preserve the single family character in this neighborhood. SECTION III: As part of the E & H projects, the City considered the use of traffic diverters in the North Renton neighborhood. - While the City supports the use of traffic diverters, the exact nature and extent of those traffic diverters has not been established, but is the topic of initial consideration of a. citizens steering committee which includes residents of the North Renton area. All deliberate speed shall be utilized to arrive at and install a diverter program in the North Renton neighborhood , keeping in mind the needs of individual streets and sections of street for diverters and further keeping in mind the needs of public safety personnel for access and general safety in the neighborhood streets. Once the diverters are installed, they will not be removed unless there is a demonstrable problem for emergency vehicles, a demonstrable threat to public safety, or a change in the character of the area protected so that the diverters are no longer functioning as desired, or are no longer necessary, or after a public hearing the protected neighborhood indicates that the diverters are no longer desired. Diverters as used in this paragraph shall mean any means of redirecting , channelizing , stopping, blocking or otherwise diverting traffic that is without a start or end point 2 RESOLUTION NO. 2708 in the neighborhood , from travelling on the North Renton neighborhood streets. SECTION IV: The staff and traffic consultants are hereby directed to pay particular attention to the North Third corridor . It is a high priority to keep the traffic levels on this street at current levels or below and to focus on creative reasonable alternatives to lessen the traffic burden at peak hours on this street and/or mitigate the impacts of traffic on the single family homes adjacent to that street. Following receipt of any studies, the staff is directed to present recommended modifications to the North Third corridor to the City Council with all deliberate speed, so that the City Council can implement feasible alternatives while considering the fiscal capabilities of the City and the impacts of such changes on the entire City of Renton traffic flows. In addition, the issue of whether Factory Avenue should be used to carry high volume arterial scale traffic has not been resolved. Some neighborhood groups representing the North Renton area believe that it should not. This issue would be decided by City Council after a recommendation from the Neighborhood Steering Committee and City staff. SECTION V: As part of its traffic mitigation program for the. E & H rezone and site plans, the City Council intended to preserve Garden Avenue, south of North Fourth Street from use as an arterial street. The staff and traffic consultants are directed to study the section of Garden Avenue from Bronson Way to North Fourth and determine practical methods of diverting 3 RESOLUTION NO. 2700- ( including , potentially, diverters ) commuter traffic from this street section. Garden Avenue shall remain a non-arterial street for the foreseeable future and will not be changed without the creation of a committee of neighbors living nearby that will work with the City to make recommendations and not until the City Council holds a public hearing. Garden Avenue will not be changed from its non-arterial street status as long as it remains primarily residential in character and is being used as single family residences or by familes with children. SECTION VI : As part of the traffic mitigation program for the E & H Rezone and site plan approvals, the City Council eliminated direct traffic from Garden Avenue to Lake Washington Blvd. and eliminated the link of North 10th through to Houser Way. The purpose of these modifications was to prevent the business traffic from the E & H buildings from using Lake Washington Blvd. as a conduit to and from work. The staff and traffic consultant are directed to study and make recommendations that would direct business traffic from the Boeing/E & H area to and from the freeways and existing developed arterials and to keep Lake Washington Blvd. from serving as a business traffic corridor . For the foreseeable future, the two traffic lanes through the R-1 area on Lake Washington Boulevard shall remain as is and the stop signs and speed limits on Lake Washington Blvd. shall remain intact. These features will not be changed without the creation of a neighborhood committee that will work with the City to make recommendations and not until the City Council holds a public hearing . If there are any changes to these 4 RESOLUTION NO. 270E features, they will not be done until after a public hearing before the City Council and any changes will have the intent of protecting the single family neighborhood but shall not encourage commuter traffic. The change of Lake Washington Boulevard to a three lane section is not on the City' s Six Year Street Plan nor is there any pending proposal to make such a change. The City Council will consider potential changes , keeping in mind the fiscal impact of those changes and the impact on the City transportation circulation. SECTION VII : The traffic consultants hired by the City and E & H Development shall consider the statements contained in this resolution as one of their primary directives in preparing their studies. SECTION VIII : This Resolution shall be considered a SEPA policy statement and is adopted as such. PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL this 15t-hday of February, 1988 . Maxine E.

R r / • February 15. 1988 Renton City Council Minute Page 49 Mr. Haggard was asked whether he concurs with the requirement for access agreement with the property owner to the south (RAMAC) prior to applying for site development. Mr. Haggard agreed to the condition subject to City approval of the resultant traffic patterns. Mr. Springer clarified that regardless of zoning assigned to the property, at least one of the existing mixed uses will be legal, non-conforming. He reiterated the recommendation of staff and the Planning Commission for R-3 zoning, and explained option for the applicant to apply for a rezone to higher intensity if site redevelopment is sought in the future. Referencing the required agreement for access to the south, Mr. Springer advised that access is an issue on property Mr. Shane owns to the south of the subject site, and since existing access onto N. 3rd from Monterey Manor apartments is limited for safety reasons, resolution of secondary access would be required.

I Rezone: E & H t Council President Wheeler asked City Attorney Larry Warren to present a Properties, R-016-87 resolution authorized during executive session as a vehicle for settlement of a (lawsuit filed by North Renton/Kennydale neighborhoods v. E & H Properties a and the City. The resolution concerned preservation of North Renton and IKennydale neighborhoods from deterioration due to traffic. Y Resolution #2708 A resolution was read citing preservation of the integrity of single family Rezone: E & H neighborhoods, including North Renton and Kennydale, as one of the City's Properties, R-016-87 highest priorities; recognizing need for deliberate speed in implementing traffic diverters in the North Renton neighborhood; agreeing that diverters will not be removed unless there is a demonstrable problem for emergency 1 vehicles, threat to public safety, change in the character of the area, or after public hearing; directing staff and traffic consultants to pay particular attention to the North Third corridor to keep traffic levels at current levels or below and developing alternatives to reduce traffic at peak hours and/or mitigate impacts to residents; agreeing that the issue of whether Factory Avenue should be used to carry high volume traffic should be decided by the City Council after recommendation from Neighborhood Steering Committee and staff; directing staff to determine methods of diverting commuter traffic on Garden Avenue from Bronson Way to North Fourth, and agreeing that Garden Avenue will not be changed from non-arterial street status as long as it remains primarily residential; and confirming that business traffic will be directed from the Boeing/E & H area to and from the freeways and arterials I to keep Lake Washington Boulevard from serving as a business traffic 1 corridor. MOVED BY WHEELER, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AS READ. CARRIED. February 15, 1988 Renton City Council Minute Page 50 Council President Wheeler advised Council's understanding that adoption of this resolution will result in settlement of pending lawsuits. In the event settlement does not occur, Council would also schedule a public hearing for Monday, February 29, 1988, to rehear the E & H Properties rezone. City Attorney Warren read the following statement regarding E & H Rezone and Site Plan approvals into the record: The City Council wishes to hold the public hearings on the rezone and site plans before the City Council. The Council has delegated its power to hold public hearings for rezones to the Hearing Examiner. When it has been efficient and in the public interest, the Council has withdrawn its delegation and held the hearings itself. The Council finds that efficiency and the public interest justifies the Council holding the hearings on these applications for the following reasons: 1. The Council has held four hearings on the matter. 2. Revisiting this issue has been necessitated by a discrepancy in the record when these actions were challenged in Court. 3. Any Hearing Examiner decision would almost surely be appealed to this Council, necessitating the Council to hear this matter and that step can be avoided by the council hearing the matter in the first instance. 4. The Hearing Examiner's schedule will not permit hearing this matter in the near future. 5. Delay of a decision may result in an effective denial rather than a decision on the merits. 6. On rezones, the Council does not and cannot delegate its authority to legislate, and on a matter of this public interest wishes to insure that it has heard the maximum public impact. The public hearing on this rezone and conditional uses is set for February 29, 1988. MOVED BY WHEELER, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL SET TENTATIVE HEARING ON FEBRUARY 29, 1988, ON THIS PROJECT. CARRIED. It was clarified that the hearing would be cancelled if the lawsuit is settled before that date. it For the record, Council President Wheeler noted that the matter of the North Renton neighborhood and the zoning and Comprehensive Plan for that area was referred to the Planning Commission during hearings on E & H Properties development; that subject is one of the Commission's highest priorities on its work schedule. It is Council's intent that if defined boundaries should be drawn for protection of single family homes in North Renton, Council should do everything in its power to protect those sections that are so defined and adopted by Council as a result of the Planning Commission study. MOVED BY WHEELER, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL REFER THIS ITEM TO THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE TO PROVIDE CONTINUING DIRECTION. CARRIED. Upon Council inquiry, Mr. Springer advised that staff has met and will continue to meet with the newly appointed North Renton Citizens Advisory Committee to define boundaries of the existing single family neighborhoods, E determine diverter locations, and develop laundry list of potential diversion 1 techniques. He felt the committee could meet the April 1 deadline established for response to Council. Bill McInerney, Attorney, 3600 First Interstate Building, 999 3rd Avenue, Seattle, questioned whether the adopted resolution represents settlement of the lawsuit, and noted there are two remaining actions--dismissal of the lawsuit and compensation for attorneys fees made to the North Renton/Kennydale Defense Fund. Darrell Igelmund, 3602 Lake Washington Boulevard, Renton, representing the North Renton/Kennydale Neighborhood Defense Fund, indicated desire to consult with legal counsel prior to final settlement. City Attorney Warren indicated that attorneys for all parties will consult this week and a report on disposition of the lawsuit provided to Council as soon as possible. RE: E & H Rezone and Site Plan Approvals The City Council wishes to hold the public hearings on the rezone and site plans before the City Council .

The public hearing on this rezone and conditional uses is set for February 29, 1988. 0 CITY4 : 65/2/16/88 CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON RESOLUTION NO. 2708 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, CONCERNING PRESERVATION OF NORTH RENTON AND KENNYDALE NEIGHBORHOODS FROM DETERIORATION DUE TO TRAFFIC WHEREAS the North Renton and Kennydale neighborhoods have protested excessive commuter traffic through their neighborhoods; and WHEREAS planned development could cause additional commuter traffic problems in these neighborhoods; and WHEREAS the City Council has previously expressed a desire to protect these neighborhoods from the incursion of excessive or unreasonable traffic to the greatest extent possible; and WHEREAS citizens groups within these two neighborhoods have made specific recommendations to the City of Renton on steps that could be taken to prevent deterioration of their neighborhoods due to traffic , NOW THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, DO RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION I: One of the City' s highest priorities is preserving the integrity of single family neighborhoods of Renton, including the Kennydale neighborhood ,. as a quality, single family residential neighborhood where people choose to live. SECTION II : One of the City' s highest priorities is preserving single family neighborhoods of Renton, including the North Renton area, as a quality, single family neighborhood where 1 RESOLUTION NO. 27 , people choose to live . It is recognized that much of this area is zoned multi-family and other zoning categories that may, in the future, result in a change in the use pattern in this area. So long as the North Renton Neighborhood remains primarily residential in character , the City will use its best efforts to preserve the single family character in this neighborhood . SECTION III : As part of the E & H projects, the City considered the use of traffic diverters in the North Renton neighborhood. While the City supports the use of traffic diverters, the exact nature and extent of those traffic diverters has not been established , but is the topic of initial consideration of a citizens steering committee which includes residents of the North Renton area. All deliberate speed shall be utilized to arrive at and install a diverter program in the North Renton neighborhood, keeping in mind the needs of individual streets and sections of street for diverters and further keeping in mind the needs of public safety personnel for access and general safety in the neighborhood streets. Once the diverters are installed, they will not be removed unless there is a demonstrable problem for emergency vehicles, a demonstrable threat to public safety, or a change in the character of the area protected so that the diverters are no longer functioning as desired, or are no longer necessary, or after a public hearing the protected neighborhood indicates that the diverters are no longer desired. Diverters as used in this paragraph shall mean any means of redirecting, channelizing , stopping, blocking or otherwise diverting traffic that is without a start or end point 2 RESOLUTION NO. 270 . in the neighborhood , from travelling on the North Renton neighborhood streets. SECTION IV: The staff and traffic consultants are hereby directed to pay particular attention to the North Third corridor . It is a high priority to keep the traffic levels on this street at current levels or below and to focus on creative reasonable alternatives to lessen the traffic burden at peak hours on this street and/or mitigate the impacts of traffic on the single family homes adjacent to that street. Following receipt of any studies, the staff is directed to present recommended modifications to the North Third corridor to the City Council with all deliberate speed, so that the City Council can implement feasible alternatives while considering the fiscal capabilities of the City and the impacts of such changes on the entire City of Renton traffic flows. In addition, the issue of whether Factory Avenue should be used to carry high volume arterial scale traffic has not been resolved. Some neighborhood groups representing the North Renton area believe that it should not. This issue would be decided by City Council after a recommendation from the Neighborhood Steering Committee and City staff. SECTION V: As part of its traffic mitigation program for the E & H rezone and site plans, the City Council intended to preserve Garden Avenue, south of North Fourth Street from use as an arterial street. The staff and traffic consultants are directed to study the section of Garden Avenue from Bronson Way to North Fourth and determine practical methods of diverting 3 RESOLUTION NO. 27L., ( including, potentially, diverters) commuter traffic from this street section. Garden Avenue shall remain a non-arterial street for the foreseeable future and will not be changed without the creation of a committee of neighbors living nearby that will work with the City to make recommendations and not until the City Council holds a public hearing. Garden Avenue will not be changed from its non-arterial street status as long as it remains primarily residential in character and is being used as single family residences or by familes with children. SECTION VI : As part of the traffic mitigation program for the E & H Rezone and site plan approvals, the City Council eliminated direct traffic from Garden Avenue to Lake Washington Blvd. and eliminated the link of North 10th through to Houser Way. The purpose of these modifications was to prevent the business traffic from the E & H buildings from using Lake Washington Blvd. as a conduit to and from work. The staff and traffic consultant are directed 'to study and make recommendations that would direct business traffic from the Boeing/E & H area to and from the freeways and existing developed arterials and to keep Lake Washington Blvd. from serving as a business traffic corridor . For the foreseeable future, the two traffic lanes through the R-1 area on Lake Washington Boulevard shall remain as is and the stop signs and speed limits on Lake Washington Blvd. shall remain intact. These features will not be changed without the creation of a neighborhood committee that will work with the City to make recommendations and not until the City Council holds a public hearing. If there are any changes to these 4 RESOLUTION NO. 270E: features, they will not be done until after a public hearing before the City Council and any changes will have the intent of protecting the single family neighborhood but shall not encourage commuter traffic. The change of Lake Washington Boulevard to a three lane section is not on the City' s Six Year Street Plan nor is there any pending proposal to make such a change. The City Council will consider potential changes, keeping in mind the fiscal impact of those changes and the impact on the City transportation circulation. SECTION VII : The traffic consultants hired by the City and E & H Development shall consider the statements contained in this resolution as one of their primary directives in preparing their studies. SECTION VIII : This Resolution shall be considered a SEPA policy statement and is adopted as such. PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL this 15±hday of February, 1988. Maxine E.

Warren, City Attorney RES:04/2/4/88 5 • February 8, 1988 Renton City Council Minutes Page 39 Council members questioned whether provisions pertaining to clinic use in the Zoning Code will be revised in the future, and whether consideration has been given to granting a P-1 zone with conditional use permit or a B-1 zone with restrictive covenants for the Group Health site. Mr. Springer indicated that revision of the Zoning Code is a possibility, but timing is unknown; and because staff did not believe there was potential for change on the clinic site, restrictive covenants were felt unnecessary as a condition of a rezone to B-1. Council members also discussed need for buffering between multiple and a single family residential use on Vuemont Place, and questioned whether restrictive covenants should be imposed on the rezone to require a minimum 50-foot buffer. Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11 th Place, Renton, clarified setback requirements between R-3 and R-1 zones. MOVED BY KEOLKER, SECONDED BY HUGHES, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

If it cannot be finalized, then the Council can consider deliberating on the E & H rezone next week.

PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Streets: Park Avenue N. in accordance with City policy, Mayor Clymer opened the public meeting to Parking Removal consider the removal of parking on Park Avenue North. Referring to a vicinity map of the area, Traffic Engineer Gary Norris described the proposal for removal of parking on the east and west sides of Park Avenue North from Bronson Way to North 3rd Street during peak traffic periods. The traffic revision was recommended by Council as a condition of approval of the E & H Properties Rezone (R-016-87) on 11/23/87. A review of traffic counts on Park Avenue North has indicated that appropriate peak hour restrictions would extend from 6:00-8:00 a.m. and from 3:00-6:00 p.m. Audience comment was invited. Wilma Hubbird, 228 Park Avenue North, questioned whether parking restrictions would apply on weekends. Mayor Clymer indicated that restrictions would apply during peak hours on weekdays only. It was also noted that prohibition of parking would continue on Park Avenue North for 100 feet south of North 3rd Street. Virginia C. Forte, owner of nine lots north of Bronson Way on Park Avenue North and President of Forte Rentals, felt that parking restrictions would impact businesses and inconvenience customers, particularly during afternoon hours. She requested that the restriction be limited to one hour during both morning and afternoon peak traffic periods. Responding to inquiry by Councilman Reed, Mr. Norris suggested that additional lane marking buttons could be installed on southbound lanes on Park Avenue to improve channelization of traffic as it intersects with North 1st and turns right onto Bronson Way. Upon inquiry by Councilman Stredicke, Mr. Norris confirmed that a travel lane will be blocked by buses at a bus stop located approximately 75 feet south of the Bronson/Park intersection. Councilman Reed suggested contacting Metro to discuss possible schedule revisions on Park Avenue during peak hours to prevent buses from blocking traffic.

RE: E & H GARDEN PLAZA REZONE R-016-87 The Hearing Examiner , by report and recommendation dated August 18, 1987, recommended that the City Council delay action on this rezoning request pending the outcome of the North Renton traffic study. The first phase of that traffic study, which addresses the direct impacts of the proposed action, has now been received. The City Council took public testimony on this item on four separate occasions, the first three instances being part of regular City Council meetings, and the last instance, on November 5, 1987, being a special City Council meeting to continue the public hearing on this rezone. The Planning and Development Committee has subsequently held its meeting on November 12, 1987. The City Council at its special meeting on November 5, 1987, arrived at a consensus to approve the rezone, making a finding that the traffic impacts caused by the rezone and subsequent construction could be mitigated, conditioning the rezone on passage of a binding site plan under site plan application SA- 017-87 and requiring restrictive time lines be established for application for a building permit and the beginning of construction. The entire matter was then forwarded to the Planning and Development Committee to draft the conditins of approval of the rezone. The Planning and Development Committee recommended certain traffic mitigation for this rezone which was adopted by the City Council . Based upon that decision and subject to the following conditions, the rezone should be granted: Traffic Mitigation: The Planning and Development Committee recommends that the traffic mitigation for this project be as detailed in Attachment "A" hereto which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth. Attachment "B" , Interim Traffic Mitigation Program, which is incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth, provides a map of the improvements to be installed as a condition of this rezone. Ocuppancy Levels: The Hearing Examiner noted that the vehicle trips per one thousand gross square feet of office space is estimated to be twelve. In a moderate increase to the employee to floor area ratio would result in higher than normal traffic impacts. Should the occupancy level rise such that the vehicle trips per one thousand gross square feet rises above twelve, then the traffic impacts of this building will be re-analyzed. 1 Time Lines: The applicant must apply to the City of Renton for a building permit within six months of the effective day of this rezone. Following the application, the applicant must diligently pursue the building permit. Following issuance of the building permit the applicant must begin construction within six months after the issuance of the building permit and must diligently pursue the construction permitted under the building permit. In order to renew the building permit, the applicant must make substantial construction under the building permit or have shown good cause for extension of the building permit and had the Building and Zoning Director extend that permit. Joint Committee: Since this rezone is the first step in the construction of what is anticipated to be four or more buildings in this general area, and because of the feeling by the neighbors that there is a lack of communication and exchange of information, there shall be formed a City-citizen-applicant-Boeing Company Committee to exchange information on traffic mitigation and other issues presented by this development and future development by the applicant or the Boeing Company in this general area with the citizens having at least three but not more than five representatives and each of the other parties having at least one but not more than three participants. The purposes of this Committee shall be: 1. To provide a means to communicate the plans and intentions of the developer and the Boeing Company to the City and the North Renton neighborhood. 2 . To define issues raised by future development limited primarily to planning, zoning and traffic issues. 3 . To try and resolve as many of these issues as possible. 4. To narrow the issues that cannot be resolved so that they may be presented to the City Council or other decision maker in a succinct and organized fashion. Neighborhood Protection: Neighborhood protection from traffic may serve the existing single family residences. However, such things as traffic diverters or blockage of traffic lanes are often controversial . The City staff is therefore directed to review possible methods of preserving the single family neighborhoods by means of various devices or methods to restrain traffic flow through the single family neighborhoods , to hold public meetings to gather public input and report to the City Council on recommended measures to be implemented. 2 ERC: This rezone should be subject to the conditions imposed by the ERC to the extent that they are not inconsistent with the conditions imposed by the City Council . Hearing Examiner Report: The Report and Recommendation of the Hearing Examiner dated August 18, 1987 under File No. R016-87 is adopted by the City Council with the following modifications: Conclusion No. 1 is modified by striking the last sentence thereof. Conclusion No. 2 is stricken in its entirety. Conclusions No. 3 and 7 are amended by adding a sentence to each of them which states: Tying this rezone to the companion site plan approval SA- 017-87 will eliminate the problem that could be created by unrestricted B-1 zoning . Conclusion No. 4 is modified by adding a sentence : A portion of this block is already B-1 zoning. B-1 zoning exists extensively along Park Avenue. This particular rezone is not an extension of B-1 zoning into an existing single family neighborhood as B-1 developed uses exist as close or closer to the single family neighborhoods. Generally L-1 zoning is a more intensive use and B-1 zoning can serve as a buffer between that more intense use and the single family use. Conclusion No. 5 is stricken and there is substituted for it the following language: The L-1 use in the same block as this rezone is an H-1 use under the City' s existing zoning code. If that use, in fact, is permitting chemicals and sawdust to be expelled into the atmosphere such that it would prove damaging to automobile finishes, then such a use is incompatible with the nearby single family neighborhood and is probably in violation of air pollution laws. To the extent that the increased usage of City streets will interfere with the loading and unloading of trucks used by this adjoining L-1 use, it should be noted that the streets are generally for travel and not for loading . The existing L-1 use does not have a preemptive right to the use of City right-of-way. Conclusion No. 16 is eliminated. 3 Conclusion No. 18 is eliminated. The recommendation is modified to read The requested rezone should be granted subject to the following conditions: 1. Mitigation of the traffic impacts as detailed in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated by reference as if fully set forth. 2. Approval of site plan SA-017-87. 3. The applicant will abide by the restrictive time lines which include applying for the building permit within six months of the effective day of this rezone. Following the application, the applicant must diligently pursue the building permit. Following issuance of the building permit the applicant must begin construction within six months after the issuance of the building permit and must diligently pursue the construction permitted under the building permit. In order to renew the building permit, the applicant must make substantial construction under the building permit or have shown good cause for extension of the building permit and had the Building and Zoning Director extend that permit. 4. The applicant' s participation in a City-citizen-applicant- Boeing Committee organized as detailed above and for the purposes detailed above. 5 . Compliance with the ERC conditions to the extent they are not inconsistent herewith. 6. Signing of a restrictive covenant that if the employee floor area ratio rises above that which would generate twelve vehicle trips per one thousand gross square feet, that the owner would submit to new environmental review. 7. Cooperation with the City staff in determining what traffic measures should be taken to preserve the integrity of the adjoining single family residential neighborhoods. Dated: November /6 , 1987. CITY3: 61/11/13/87 4 ATTACHMENT "A" PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION RE: TRAFFIC MITIGATION E & H REZONE AND SITE PLAN APPROVALS The Planning and Development Committee met on November 12, 1987 to try and structure an acceptable traffic mitigation program for the E & H rezone and site plans. The Committee set the policy that it wished to avoid additional traffic impacting the residential neighborhoods including along Garden Avenue North. With this in mind, the Committee makes the following recommendation concerning an acceptable traffic mitigation program: 1. There shall be formed a joint City/Citizen Committee concerning traffic diversion from the single family residences of North Renton which shall be all streets in North Renton, except for North 3rd, North 4th and Park Avenue N. The purpose of this effort will be to arrive at a joint staff-neighborhood recommendation to the City Council as to the traffic diversion steps that would be the most effective to preserve this single family neighborhood. If a single recommendation cannot be obtained , then a report should be submitted to the Council detailing the two or three best methods with the Council making the final decision. This recommendationshall be made by July 1, 1988. 2. On Park Avenue N. there should be no parking during peak traffic hours. This will permit four lanes of traffic, two northbound, two southbound. 3. Install a "C" curb on Park Ave. from the north property line of Park Plaza through the intersection of North 5th prohibiting left turns on Park Ave. North. Left turns would also be prohibited at North 6th. The developer shall also provide an additional 10 ' of right-of-way along the west property line from North 6th to North 5th for potential future widening of Park Ave. North to 5 lanes. 4. There shall be designed a turn movement southbound on Park Avenue N. at N. 3rd to minimize conflicts in the left turning movement onto N. 3rd and the developer shall pay for any change in the signal at that location. 5. Garden Avenue N. , northbound, shall have no through traffic to Lake Washington Boulevard. The intent is to discourage regional traffic from crossing the Garden/Park/Lake Washington Boulevard intersection and proceeding down Lake Washington Boulevard. 6 . North 10th shall not be built at this time. 7. Fund a study to evaluate alternative 20-year development land use scenarios for the impact on the transportation 7. Fund a study to evaluate alternative 20-year development land use scenarios for the impact on the transportation system. The study should place as much emphasis on neighborhood mitigation as it does on traffic mitigation. 8. Bond $1. 2 million ($197 per trip) to fund transportation improvements recommended from the study and adopted by Council. 9. Reconstruct the intersection 'of Lake Washington Blvd./Park/Garden to provide an additional eastbound lane on Park Drive. 10. Realign Garden Ave. North at North 8th to remove the existing dog leg. 11. Rechannelize North 5th Street from Garden Ave. North to Park Ave. North to 3 lanes to provide left turn lane. 12. Signalize the intersection of North 6th and Garden Ave . North. 13. Provide passenger drop off lanes on Park Ave. North and North 6th Street in front of the Park Plaza and Garden Plaza Buildings. 14 . Implementation of as many of these conditions as possible shall occur immediately. CITY3 : 64/11/13/87 1,wifill •44,44 II ...,./.......' I I. ‘ I I .

Conclusion No. 5 is modified by striking that Conclusion and substituting in its place: The City Council has been provided with a number of traffic studies. Although these studies are not perfect, they provide enough information for the Council to establish mitigation of the traffic impacts. Conclusion No. 6 is amended by striking the first three sentences thereof and by adding the following to the end of that Conclusion: While the existing traffic conditions in this area are undesirable, the traffic mitigation provided for by the developer is more than sufficient to mitigate the impacts of this project and should not unduly add to the traffic burden in the North Renton area. Conclusion No. 7 is amended by eliminating the last two sentences thereof and substituting in their place While the neighborhood is generally developed as single family residences , the area is zoned primarily for multi- family uses. Prior attempts by the City to change the zoning or comprehensive planning in this area has led to protests and the abandonment of such an effort. Until this area takes on a multi-family character, or until the owners in the area are willing to accept single family zoning, then it is necessary to protect the single family neighborhoods from intrusive traffic to the maximum extent possible while still permitting maximum flexibility by maintaining the existing arterials. The same is being furthered by City staff study of traffic control measures to protect the existing single family neighborhoods, which traffic measures will be implemented following approval by the Renton City Council. Conclusion No. 49 is deleted. The decision is amended to read: The site plan is approved. Dated: /6 , 1987. CITY3: 62 : 11/13/87 RE: SA-055-87 Park Plaza Contemporaneously with the Committee consideration of the Garden Plaza Rezone (R- 016-87) it considered the Park Plaza site plan SA-055-87. Because of the disposition made in the rezoning matter and because the Council found that the traffic impacts could be mitigated the Council reverses the Hearing Examiner 's Report and Decision as follows: Conclusion No. 1 is deleted. Conclusion No. 8 is modified by deleting the second and third sentences thereof and adding the following sentences: The proposed sky bridge would not provide the required setbacks, but the setback ordinance does not truly address the policy issue of whether or not the City wishes to allow sky bridges. Sky bridges are not specifically permitted in the Zoning Code, but they are not prohibited, either. In the past, the City of Renton has permitted a sky bridge by special permit. In this instance, the staff has analayzed the design and placement of the sky bridge and has recommended that it be approved. If the sky bridge is not included in this project, there is a signficiant safety hazard for pedestrians crossing an expanded and very busy Park Avenue North. The City Council finds that the proposed sky bridge, as a policy matter, is an acceptable element of the design of the parking garage and site plan. Conclusion No. 11 is stricken. Conclusion No. 13 is modified by striking that Conclusion and substituting in its place: The City Council has been provided with a number of traffic studies. Although these studies are not perfect, they provide enough information for the Council to establish mitigation of the traffic impacts. Conclusion No. 14 is amended by striking the first three sentences thereof and by adding the following to the end of that Conclusion: While the existing traffic conditions in this area are undesirable, the traffic mitigation provided for by the developer is more than sufficient to mitigate the impacts of Conclusion No. 15 is amended by eliminating the last two sentences thereof and substituting in their place: While the neighborhood is generally developed as single family residences, the area is zoned primarily for multi- family uses.

Citizen Comment: Holger Johansen, 4420 NE 10th Street, Renton, questioned connection of Johansen - Martin Luther development in King County to City storm sewers without permission. Mr. King Church Impacts Springer agreed to investigate the matter. Citizen Comment: Long - Gary Long, 11404 137th SE, Renton, owner of Gary's Septic Tank Service, Martin Luther King pointed out that King County is creating an emergency for the City by Church Impacts allowing the proposed development without mitigation of storm drainage and other environmental impacts. He also reported that storm water from the drain field on the church site will flow into storm sewers, not sanitary sewers as reported by King County staff representative; and he described hard-pan soil type in the vicinity of the subject site which is impermeable to runoff, and will increase likelihood of flooding in residents' back yards. Citizen Comment: Brock Jim Brock, 950 Bremerton Court NE, Renton, submitted letter from himself, - Martin Luther King Robert Clayton, 966 Bremerton Court NE, and Robert Wilcox, 958 Bremerton Church Development Court NE, Renton, reporting that each residence currently has sump pump to Impacts remove runoff from underneath houses and prevent flooding. Noting that 10th and Anacortes currently become so flooded during rainstorms that manhole covers are lifted, Mr. Brock feared that additional building and paving associated with church development will increase impermeable surfaces and further aggravate the problem.

MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY REED, COUNCIL AMEND ITEM #1 OF THE COMMITTEE REPORT TO STATE THAT A CITY/CITIZENS COMMITTEE BE FORMED TO STUDY AND RECOMMEND METHODS FOR DIVERTING TRAFFIC FROM ALL RESIDENTIAL STREETS IN NORTH RENTON EXCEPT NORTH 3RD, NORTH 4TH, AND PARK AVENUE; THAT THE PURPOSE OF THE EFFORT IS TO ARRIVE AT A JOINT STAFF-NEIGHBORHOOD RECOMMENDATION BY JULY 1, 1988, REGARDING TRAFFIC DIVERTERS TO PRESERVE THE SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD; AND THAT ITEM #14 BE ADDED TO REQUIRE IMPLEMENTATION OF AS MANY TRAFFIC MITIGATION MEASURES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. CARRIED. The following report includes changes listed above. Planning and Planning,and Development Committee Chairman Stredicke presented a report Development Committee indicating that the Committee met on 11/12/87, to try and structure an E & H Properties Traffic acceptable traffic mitigation program for the E & H Properties rezone and Mitigation Program site plan approvals. The Committee set the policy that it wished to avoid additional traffic impacting the residential neighborhoods including along Garden Avenue North. With this in mind, the Committee made the following recommendation concerning an acceptable traffic mitigation program. 1) There shall be formed a joint city/citizen committee concerning traffic diversion from the single family residences of North Renton which shall be all streets in North Renton, except for North 3rd, North 4th and Park Avenue North. The purpose of this effort will be to arrive at a joint staff-neighborhood recommendation to the City Council as to the traffic diversion steps that would be the most effective to preserve this single family neighborhood. If a single recommendation cannot be obtained, then a report should be submitted to the Council detailing the two or three best methods with the Council making the final decision. This recommendation shall be made by July 1, 1988. 2) On Park Avenue North there should be no parking during peak traffic hours. This will permit four lanes of traffic, two northbound, two southbound. November 16, 1987 Renton City Council Minutes Page 379 3) Install a "C" curb on Park Avenue from the north property line of Park Plaza through the intersection of North 5th prohibiting left turns on Park Avenue North. Left turns would also be prohibited at North 6th. The developer shall also provide an additional 10 feet of right-of-way along the west property line from North 6th to North 5th for potential future widening of Park Avenue North to five lanes. 4) Design a turn movement southbound on Park Avenue North at North 3rd to minimize conflicts in the left turning movement onto North 3rd and the developer shall pay for any change in the signal at that location. 5) Garden Avenue North, northbound, shall have no through traffic to Lake Washington Boulevard. The intent is to discourage regional traffic from crossing the Garden/Park/Lake Washington Boulevard intersection and proceeding down Lake Washington Boulevard. 6) North 10th Street shall not be built at this time. 7) Fund a study to evaluate alternative 20-year development land use scenarios for the impact on the transportation system. The study should place as much emphasis on neighborhood mitigation as it does on traffic mitigation. f 18) Bond $1.2 million ($197 per trip) to fund transportation improvements recommended from the study and adopted by Council. 1 9) Reconstruct the intersection of Lake Washington Boulevard/Park/Garden 1 to provide an additional eastbound lane on Park Drive. 10) Realign Garden Avenue North at North 8th to remove the existing dog leg. 11) Rechannelize North 5th Street from Garden Avenue North to Park Avenue North to three lanes to provide left turn lane. 12) Signalize the intersection of North 6th and Garden Avenue North. 13) Provide passenger drop off lanes on Park Avenue North and North 6th Street in front of the Park Plaza and Garden Plaza buildings. 14) Implement as many of these conditions as possible as soon as possible. At Chairman Stredicke's request, Mr. Springer displayed a diagram of the interim traffic mitigation program outlined in the Committee report, described two-way flow on Garden Avenue N. north of N. 4th Street, and indicated the Committee's decision not to implement the Houser Way extension to Lake Washington Boulevard. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY REED, COUNCIL ADOPT THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT REGARDING TRAFFIC MITIGATION AS AMENDED.* Audience comment was invited. Versie Vaupel, 1402 N. 2nd, Renton, expressed disappointment that residents had not had an opportunity to review committee report in advance, asked that Garden Avenue be designated one- way north from N. 4th to protect neighborhood, and objected to inadequacy of proposed traffic mitigation measures. She felt that the projects should be postponed since streets are already being used to capacity and because of unanswered questions regarding air pollution, noise, soot, and pedestrian safety. The following actions were suggested by Mrs. Vaupel to to help - residents immediately: 1) reduce speed limits to 25 mph, put up barriers where residents have to walk, increase police enforcement of speeding violations and blocking of intersections, and erect larger signs at entrance of N. 3rd from Logan alerting drivers that they are passing through a neighborhood. 2) require mitigation funds to be timely paid and deposited in interest-bearing account, with both interest and principal used to mitigate impacts to residents. City Attorney Warren clarified that the developer is ' required only to mitigate impacts from the subject proposal, not impacts from the existing traffic currently using city streets. Chairman Stredicke explained purpose of diverters to block traffic from residential areas; noted that citizens committee will make final decision regarding diverters; and clarified that the developer shall install the "C" curb and provide additional right of way for a November 16. 1987 Renton City Council Minutes Page 380 fifth lane along Park Avenue N. as well. Discussion also indicated the Committee's intent for as many conditions to be implemented right away to determine whether traffic will actually flow in conformance to proposed plans. Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue N., Renton, objected to accommodation of even more through traffic than generated by the existing 13,000 cars per day which use N. 3rd Street; felt that residents should have priority over pass-through traffic; and discussed depreciation of home, impaired pedestrian access, and fears of senior citizens due to traffic volumes. *MOTION CARRIED.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Steven Altringer, 1703 Shelton Avenue NE, Renton, questioned whether continued mitigation improvements would be installed prior to occupancy of E & H Citizen Comment: - Properties development. City Attorney Warren explained wording in report Altringer, E & H that improvements should be installed as soon as possible; and mitigation of Properties Improvements impacts should be completed by the time the buildings are occupied unless for some reason there is an extension of time granted by City Council or a deferral granted by the Board of Public Works. However, he noted possible delays with acquisition of right-of-way on Garden Avenue North to straighten dog-leg. Council indicated concern that another entity would have authority to grant a deferral of improvements and felt Council should have the final say on any deviations from proposed mitigation.

RE: E & H GARDEN PLAZA REZONE R-016-87 The Hearing Examiner, by report and recommendation dated August 18, 1987, recommended that the City Council delay action on this rezoning request pending the outcome of the North Renton traffic study. The first phase of that traffic study, which addresses the direct impacts of the proposed action, has now been received. The City Council took public testimony on this item on four separate occasions, the first three instances being part of regular City Council meetings, and the last instance, on November 5, 1987, being a special City Council meeting to continue the public hearing on this rezone. The Planning and Development Committee has subsequently held its meeting on November 12 , 1987. The City Council at its special meeting on November 5, 1987, arrived at a consensus to approve the rezone, making a finding that the traffic impacts caused by the rezone and subsequent construction could be mitigated, conditioning the rezone on passage of a binding site plan under site plan application SA- 017-87 and requiring restrictive time lines be established for application for a building permit and the beginning of construction. The entire matter was then forwarded to the Planning and Development Committee to draft the conditins of approval of the rezone. The Planning and Development Committee recommended certain traffic mitigation for this rezone which was adopted by the City Council . Based upon that decision and subject to the following conditions, the rezone should be granted: Traffic Mitigation: The Planning and Development Committee recommends that the traffic mitigation for this project be as detailed in Attachment "A" hereto which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth. Attachment "B" , Interim Traffic Mitigation Program, which is incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth, provides a map of the improvements to be installed as a condition of this rezone. Ocuppancy Levels: The Hearing Examiner noted that the vehicle trips per one thousand gross square feet of office space is estimated to be twelve. In a moderate increase to the employee to floor area ratio would result in higher than normal traffic impacts. Should the occupancy level rise such that the vehicle trips per one thousand gross square feet rises above twelve, then the traffic impacts of this building will be re-analyzed. 1 Time Lines: The applicant must apply to the City of Renton for a building permit within six months of the effective day of this rezone. Following the application, the applicant must diligently pursue the building permit. Following issuance of the building permit the applicant must begin construction within six months after the issuance of the building permit and must diligently pursue the construction permitted under the building permit. In order to renew the building permit, the applicant must make substantial construction under the building permit or have shown good cause for extension of the building permit and had the Building and Zoning Director extend that permit. Joint Committee: Since this rezone is the first step in the construction of what is anticipated to be four or more buildings in this general area, and because of the feeling by the neighbors that there is a lack of communication and exchange of information, there shall be formed a City-citizen-applicant-Boeing Company Committee to exchange information on traffic mitigation and other issues presented by this development and future development by the applicant or the Boeing Company in this general area with the citizens having at least three but not more than five representatives and each of the other parties having at least one but not more than three participants. The purposes of this Committee shall be: 1. To provide a means to communicate the plans and intentions of the developer and the Boeing Company to the City and the North Renton neighborhood. 2. To define issues raised by future development limited primarily to planning, zoning and traffic issues. 3 . ,To try and resolve as many of these issues as possible. 4. To narrow the issues that cannot be resolved so that they may be presented to the City Council or other decision maker in a succinct and organized fashion. Neighborhood Protection: Neighborhood protection from traffic may serve the existing single family residences. However , such things as traffic diverters or blockage of traffic lanes are often controversial . The City staff is therefore directed to review possible methods of preserving the single family neighborhoods by means of various devices or methods to restrain traffic flow through the single family neighborhoods, to hold public meetings to gather public input and report to the City Council on recommended measures to be implemented. 2 ' l ERC: This rezone should be subject to the conditions imposed by the ERC to the extent that they are not inconsistent with the conditions imposed by the City Council. Hearing Examiner Report: The Report and Recommendation of the Hearing Examiner dated August 18, 1987 under File No. R016-87 is adopted by the City Council with the following modifications: Conclusion No. 1 is modified by striking the last sentence thereof. Conclusion No. 2 is stricken in its entirety. Conclusions No. 3 and 7 are amended by adding a sentence to each of them which states: Tying this rezone to the companion site plan approval SA- 017-87 will eliminate the problem that could be created by unrestricted B-1 zoning. Conclusion No. 4 is modified by adding a sentence: A portion of this block is already B-1 zoning. B-1 zoning exists extensively along Park Avenue. This particular rezone is not an extension of B-1 zoning into an existing single family neighborhood as B-1 developed uses exist as close or closer to the single family neighborhoods. Generally L-1 zoning is a more intensive use and B-1 zoning can serve as a buffer between that more intense use and the single family use. Conclusion No. 5 is stricken and there is substituted for it the following language: The L-1 use in the same block as this rezone is an H-1 use under the City' s existing zoning code. If that use, in fact, is permitting chemicals and sawdust to be" expelled into the atmosphere such that it would prove damaging to automobile finishes, then such a use is incompatible with the nearby single family neighborhood and is probably in violation of air pollution laws. To the extent that the increased usage of City streets will interfere with the loading and unloading of trucks used by this adjoining L-1 use, it should be noted that the streets are generally for travel and not for loading. The existing L-1 use does not have a preemptive right to the use of City right-of-way. Conclusion No. 16 is eliminated. 3 Conclusion No. 18 is eliminated. • The recommendation is modified to read The requested rezone should be granted subject to the following conditions: 1. Mitigation of the traffic impacts as detailed in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated by reference as if fully set forth. 2. Approval of site plan SA-017-87. 3. The applicant will abide by the restrictive time lines which include applying for the building permit within six months of the effective day of this rezone. Following the application, the applicant must diligently pursue the building permit. Following issuance of the building . permit the applicant must begin construction within six months after the issuance of the building permit and must diligently pursue the construction permitted under the building permit. In order to renew the building permit, the applicant must make substantial construction under the building permit or have shown good cause for extension of the building permit and had the Building and Zoning Director extend that permit. 4. The applicant' s participation in a City-citizen-applicant- Boeing Committee organized as detailed above and for the purposes detailed . above. 5 . Compliance with the ERC conditions to the extent they are not inconsistent herewith. • 6. Signing of a restrictive covenant that if the employee floor area ratio rises above that which would generate twelve vehicle trips per one thousand gross square' feet, that the owner would submit to new environmental review. 7. Cooperation with the City staff in determining what traffic measures should be taken to preserve the integrity of the adjoining single family residential neighborhoods. Dated: November /6 , 1987. CITY3: 61/11/13/87 4 / ATTACHMENT "A" PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION RE: TRAFFIC MITIGATION E & H REZONE AND SITE PLAN APPROVALS The Planning and Development Committee met on November 12, 1987 to try and structure an acceptable traffic mitigation program for the E & H rezone and site plans. The Committee set the policy that it wished to avoid additional traffic impacting the residential neighborhoods including along Garden Avenue North. With this in mind, the Committee makes the following recommendation concerning an acceptable traffic mitigation program: 1. There shall be formed a joint City/Citizen Committee concerning traffic diversion from the single family residences of North Renton which shall be all streets in North Renton, except for North 3rd, North 4th and Park Avenue N. The purpose of this effort will be to arrive at a joint staff-neighborhood recommendation to the City Council as to the traffic diversion steps that would be the most effective to preserve this single family neighborhood. If a single recommendation cannot be obtained , then a report should be submitted to the Council detailing the two or three best methods with the Council making the final decision. This recommendationshall be made by July 1, 1988. 2. On Park Avenue N. there should be no parking during peak traffic hours. This will permit four lanes of traffic, two northbound, two southbound. 3. Install a "C" curb on Park Ave. from the north property line of Park Plaza through the intersection of North 5th prohibiting left turns on Park Ave. North. Left turns would also be prohibited at North 6th. The developer shall also provide an additional 10' of right-of-way along the west property line from North 6th to North 5th for potential future widening of Park Ave. North to 5 lanes. 4. There shall be designed a turn movement southbound on Park Avenue N. at N. 3rd to minimize conflicts in the left turning movement onto N. 3rd and the developer shall pay for any change in the signal at that location. 5. Garden Avenue N. , northbound, shall have no through traffic to Lake Washington Boulevard. The intent is to discourage regional traffic from crossing the Garden/Park/Lake Washington Boulevard intersection and proceeding down Lake Washington Boulevard. 6. North 10th shall not be built at this time. 7. Fund a study to evaluate alternative 20-year development land use scenarios for the impact on the transportation 7. Fund a study to evaluate alternative 20-year development land use scenarios for the impact on the transportation system. The study should place as much emphasis on neighborhood mitigation as it does on traffic mitigation. 8. Bond $1. 2 million ($197 per trip) to fund transportation improvements recommended from the study and adopted by Council. 9. Reconstruct the intersection of Lake Washington Blvd./Park/Garden to provide an additional eastbound lane on Park Drive. 10. Realign Garden Ave. North at North 8th to remove the existing dog leg. 11. Rechannelize North 5th Street from Garden Ave. North to Park Ave. North to 3 lanes to provide left turn lane. 12 . Signalize the intersection of North 6th and Garden Ave. North. 13. Provide passenger drop off lanes on Park Ave. North and North 6th Street in front of the Park Plaza and Garden Plaza Buildings. 14. Implementation of as many of these conditions as possible shall occur immediately. 7- CITY3 : 64/11/13/87 ////// I I 1 LzI.iN AVM.N. — 4... ..5. etWn-y� AVM.N. a =I A. .hJlt.Llq, AVn.

Prior attempts by the City to change the zoning or comprehensive planning in this area has led to protests and the abandonment of such an effort. Until this area takes on a multi-family character, or until the owners in the area are willing to accept single family zoning, then it is necessary to protect the single family neighborhoods from intrusive traffic to the maximum extent possible while still permitting maximum flexibility by maintaining the existing arterials. The same is being furthered by City staff study of traffic control measures to protect the existing single family neighborhoods, which traffic measures will be implemented following approval by the Renton City Council .

Because of the disposition made in the rezoning matter and because the Council found that the traffic impacts could be mitigated the Council reverses the Hearing Examiner ' s Report and Decision as follows: Conclusion No. 1 is deleted. Conclusion No. 8 is modified by deleting the second and third sentences thereof and adding the following sentences: The proposed sky bridge would not provide the required setbacks, but the setback ordinance does not truly address the policy issue of whether or not the City wishes to allow sky bridges. Sky bridges are not specifically permitted in the Zoning Code, but they are not prohibited, either. In the past, the City of Renton has permitted a sky bridge by special permit. In this instance, the staff has analayzed the design and placement of the sky bridge and has recommended that it be approved. If the sky bridge is not included in this project, there is a signficiant safety hazard for pedestrians crossing an expanded and very busy Park Avenue North. The City Council finds that the proposed sky bridge, as a policy matter, is an acceptable element of the design of the parking garage and site plan. Conclusion No. 11 is stricken. Conclusion No. 13 is modified by striking that Conclusion and substituting in its place: The City Council has been provided with a number of traffic studies. Although these studies are not perfect, they provide enough information for the Council to establish mitigation of the traffic impacts.

CITY3 : 63/11/13/87 P I looked up and compared the words mitigate and mitigation. in case grassing something. I checked: Webster's dictionary, Roget's Thesaurus, Rodale's Word FinC'and even Black's Law Dictionary. All of them say basically the same: alleviate, abate, reduce, diminish, lessen, relieve, remedy. . . The traffic plans submitted over time are not mitigation steps toward reducing our problems. All of the plans make traffic rse. What's in ,t:�►:.: and near the residential area will be the same except for additional loss put on by these projects. The only xio thing close to mitigation is perhaps some traffic diverters which may or not work and which may or may not ever get put in place. But I would ask you how much more traffic can North Renton take? How =+' many more cars and trucks can one street like North 3rd hold? How full is full? The Hrg Exr listed 49, repeat 49, conclusions, most of them pointing out problems. I hope you haven't ignored them. I'll-pelat-eut;-la-gait;-seine-ef-these-preeleTs-aid-ethers we-see-p- Please pay attention to them; our lives are spent down there. Because of the inadequacies of all types of "mitigations," I would ask that you deny or postpone approval of the projects because: 1. The city or developer has not mitigated the traffic damage to us. 2. The city has never cared enough tmxdoemtmxmxmx about the human lives in North Renton to even test for airpollution counts or noise decibel ratings or amount of soot particulates. We considered having that done, but the cost was more than citizens should have to bear or could bear in some cases. 3. The city has not, to my knowledge, checked with Wash DOT regarding impacts on their intersections. 4. There has been no public word or assurances to the neighborhood from boeing, the beneficiary of these projects, as to their willingness to work with residents. They remain aloof and get what they want while we have to turn out at meeting amix after meeting to virtually beg you to do what is right. And you do know what is right. 5. As the Hrg Exr pointed out, in particular North 3rd and N 4th are at residents' front doors, and their clothes, homes, interiors are damaged by soot. How about their lungs? And how about the lungs of Mrs. Richter's grandchildren who spend daytimes with her, orthe lungs of all the other children who live there 24 hours a day? 6. As the hearing examiner Eaid residents should not be slowly suffocated under traffic and air pollution nor�aEti.ine `•`5"; attrition either 7. Nothing guarantee Boeing will relocate employees presently at North Renton into those new buildings without filling up the space from which they came. 8. Hearing Exr asksj4Uttnas been implicit in some of our requests, that Boeing take some responsibility and dedicate the.necessary alignments that the traffic reportsA suggest, and that the city might use its condemnation rights and require the applicant to pay for new right of way to relieve the traffic through our areas. 9. Hr Exr also points out what we have pointed out, there could be reasonable expecta- tions that the residential properties will decrease in value. 10. The Erg Exr report also indicates that the streets . already axavxmm#xR only minimiallly meet R-1 residential traffic needs, ilatxaimma and certainly not stan4ards for either commercial development or more intense residential uses. All of these and the others are causes for you to delay this project until you can give some real relief to the neighborhood--some real mitigation. Since some of you long for the new tax base and may vote for this against your better instincts, then the miniscule requirements of the recommendations of the P1 & Dev Cam should be hastened into place, plus 'the following simple things could be done to help us out right now: f- 9-3-Ma ,a �ik _ r � . ,�N` 1. Slow down the traffic; put up barri near eAresidents have to walk; insist that the police not continue with its e `ranr•,e-policy of non-enforcement of traffic speed limits and other laws; erect larger signs near the entry of N. 3rd when leaving Logan. Presently, I believe there is none at all from the point where Logan/Airport traffic starts to get right to shoot down into the neighborhood. The first obvious sign is 30 MPH on the east edge of Burnett. There •should be signs, larger ones, early. There should be a sign which reminds people THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD and not an extension of SIR. 2. We should have assurance that whatever so-called mitigation funds will be timely paid & put in an ear marked interest-bearing account, with both interest and principal be paid for trying to do something about the impacts around RENTON CITY COUNCIL Regular Meeting (CONTINUED FROM OCTOBER 12, 1987) November 5, 1987 Municipal Building Thursday, 7:30 p.m. Council Chambers MINUTES CALL TO ORDER Mayor Barbara Y.

The 3.3 acres of Plaza and Garden Plaza, property designated for rezone from L-1, light industry zone, to B-1, SA-055-87 and SA-017- business zone, is located between Park Avenue North and Garden Avenue 87 North and between North 5th and North 6th Streets. The Garden Plaza site plan, proposed on the rezone property, consists of a seven-story office building and a four-story parking structure. Site plan approval is also being sought for Park Plaza, located on the west side of Park Avenue North, approximately 350 feet north of North 6th Street, to allow construction of a seven-story office building and a five-story parking structure. Following public hearing and subsequent review, the Hearing Examiner had denied all three applications due to a number of unanswered questions and unresolved traffic and land use issues. Since that time, new traffic studies have been prepared and submitted for Council consideration. Correspondence Correspondence was read from May Duncalf, 211 Garden Avenue N., Renton; Darla Smith, 220 Garden Avenue N., Renton; Charles T. Neff, 356 Garden Avenue N., Renton; Howard Keene, 227 Garden Avenue N., Renton; Stanley Malm, 204 Garden Avenue N., Renton; Eugene, Ann, Kelley, Tanya and Aaron Bunker, 210 Garden Avenue N., Renton; Betty Herigon, 1411 N. 2nd, Renton; and Mary Wolfgram, Meadow Avenue N., Renton, objecting to a one-way couplet on Park and Garden and increased traffic volumes which will impact quality of life in neighborhoods. Statement regarding City Attorney Warren read a statement into the record reporting that several Campaign Contributions candidates for municipal offices, including at least three present Council members, recently received campaign contributions in an envelope bearing the E & H Properties logo. The checks were from a number of individuals including one from Mr. Eugene Horback, owner of E & H Properties. Because of the proximity in time to this hearing, each Council member returned the political contributions. In certain instances, political campaign contributions have been made by citizens who would be termed opponents to this rezone and site plan petition. None of the Council members feel that they have been prejudiced by these contributions. There is no belief that anything illegal has been done. However, to avoid any appearance of unfairness or immpropriety, this statement has been made for the record. Statement regarding Councilman Hughes made a statement indicating that because of aftermath Campaign Contributions from said incident, he has been unable to concentrate on written information associated with the rezone and appeals. Therefore, he asked that the matter be continued to a later date. November 5, 1987 Renton City Council Minutes Page 364 Staff Summary Policy Development Director Springer summarized the staff recommendation for Council to approve the rezone to B-1, business zone, conditioned upon a binding site plan for Garden Plaza; to impose Option "C", the Park-Garden one-way couplet from Lake Washington Boulevard to Bronson Way with Houser Way revision as outlined in the staff report; and to refer the entire matter to the Administration and the City Attorney to prepare specific findings and facts to support the final decision. Under Option "C", Park Avenue would extend four one-way lanes southbound to N. 3rd Street where two lanes would turn east and two lanes would continue to Bronson Way. Garden Avenue would provide two one-way northbound lanes to N. 4th, where the roadway would widen to three one-way lanes. The Houser Way revision would extend N. 10th Street from Garden to Houser to allow northbound traffic the option of either turning onto N. Park Drive or on to the extended 10th with one northbound lane, and provide improved access to Coulon Beach Park and Lake Washington Boulevard. Mr. Springer responded to three issues raised by the Hearing Examiner in his reports--traffic impacts, compatibility of land use with residential neighborhood in North Renton, and sky bridge for Park Plaza: 1) Additional information regarding traffic impacts has been submitted to Council which outlines mitigation measures for the two proposed buildings, and a full traffic study will be presented to Council in 1988 for a permanent mitigation program and arterial system. 2) In response to occurrence of major redevelopment in the subject area, staff has been holding community meetings to review the North Renton Comprehensive Plan, with specific consideration given to impacts on single family residents. 3) Although provision for the sky bridge proposed between Park Plaza and the parking garage is not currently included in the City Code, staff is of the opinion that the City Council has the authority to approve the sky bridge concept and amend the Code, if desired. Referring to a diagram of Option "C", Mr. Springer pointed out traffic diverters proposed on residential streets to discourage traffic flow into neighborhoods, and discussed pros and cons of the one-way couplet on Park and Garden with the Houser Way revision as recommended in the staff report. Pros included improvement in levels of service (LOS) at intersections, turning movements, volume capacity and access safety. Cons included increased traffic impact on residential areas, circuitous access for residents, increased traffic volumes on Lake Washington Boulevard with N. 10th extension to Houser Way, and required signalization of Garden/Bronson. Referring to diagrams, Mr. Springer described advantages and disadvantages of Option "A", one-way couplet terminating at N. 6th Street, and Option "B", one-way couplet terminating at N. 4th Street, as outlined in detail in the staff report. He concluded his presentation by recommending that meetings be held with the residential community to formulate a mitigation program to protect the neighborhood with traffic diverters, and that Council adopt Option "C" including the Houser Way revision. In response to questions by Council members, Traffic Engineer Gary Norris reported that five lanes currently exist on Bronson at the intersection at Bronson/Park/N. 1st; left turns to N. 1st from Bronson would continue to be allowed; the underpass at Houser will accommodate boat/trailer heights, and hopefully, access to the park entrance will be aligned with access road; and several options for traffic diverters are available, with selection dependent on desire of residents and protection of emergency access. Responding to Council inquiry, Mr. Springer doubted that either the applicant or the City would consider approval of the office buildings without parking space. Audience Comment Audience comment was invited. William Tozer, 905 N. 36th Street, Renton, opposed extension of N. 10th from Garden to Houser Way since it would encourage traffic to Lake Washington Boulevard. Marge Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton, objected to increased traffic and associated problems including soot, pollution, noise, and exhaust fumes which ruin landscaping and erode house paint. She reported that due to traffic congestion, intersections are often blocked, making vehicle or pedestrian access difficult for residents; and the proposed one-way couplet would further isolate the residential area. Photographs were circulated to show eroded paint on house and congestion and blocked intersections during peak hours, and request made that drivers blocking intersections or using striped emergency lane be cited. Mrs. Richter noted that 12,983 cars pass her house daily; advised that the streets are swept by the City each night to November 5, 1987 Renton City Council Minutes Page 365 remove litter; suggested that a ferry service be implemented to carry traffic from the east side of the lake and perimeter roads constructed to circumvent residential streets; and noted that many vehicles originate from areas which are exempt from the State pollution test requirement. Madeleine Sienda, 3313 Meadow Avenue N., Renton, expressed concern with increased traffic congestion in Kennydale, noting that the area still has no sidewalks or fire station. Shirley Keene, 227 Garden Avenue N., Renton, advised that access out of her driveway is impossible at certain hours, implementation of the one-way couplet will further destroy the neighborhood, fumes from cars and buses pollute the area, and the accident rate at 3rd and Garden is high. Ralph Robertson, 235 Garden Avenue N., Renton, felt that current traffic volumes are higher than reflected in reports; objected to buses and trucks using residential streets and to converting Garden Avenue to a one-way arterial street; and pointed out dangers to neighborhood children playing near the curb if the one-way couplet is approved. June Evans, 817 N. 1st Street, Renton, feared that she will have to pay higher taxi fares as a result of couplet revision since cabs may have to take circuitous routes to destinations. She pointed out that Metro buses cause traffic backups on Park, and she opposed designating Park as an arterial. Versie Vaupel, 1402 N. 2nd, Renton, pointed out that N. 3rd and N. 4th Streets, with four one-way travel lanes, are currently carrying twice as much traffic during peak hours as I-405, which has two lanes in each direction. She indicated concern with impact from exhaust fumes and safety of children in the neighborhood. Mrs. Vaupel read a letter into the record from attorney Robert L. Anderson, 111 Williams Avenue S., who could not attend. The letter objected to growth at the expense of single family residential neighborhoods; noted possibility of request by residents for compensation in accordance with recent Supreme Court rulings; and cited Comprehensive Plan policies which protect neighborhood environments, specifically, the North Renton area. Mr. Anderson opposed adoption of the proposed Park/Garden one-way couplet since he felt it would destroy the North Renton neighborhood, but made the following suggestions if the rezone and site plans are approved: I) adopt Option "B"; 2) complete Houser Way revision to improve flow to N. Park but not to Lake Washington Boulevard; 3) install traffic diverters; 4) complete Houser between 8th and 4th; 5) provide second ramp between N. Renton interchange and Maple Valley Highway; 6) open Logan; 7) circulate traffic around North Renton by using Sunset, Park, Logan, Airport Way, Rainier and N. 6th. Gary Brode, 2900 Park Avenue N., Renton, civil engineer employed as structural engineer for Boeing, urged consideration of proposal he has previously discussed with Mayor Shinpoch to implement Taxi 2000, a guidance transit system, which he indicated is cost effective and competitive with the automobile. Mary Ellen Hamblin, 13025 138th Avenue SE, Renton, owner of property at 222 Meadow Avenue N., Renton, read memorandum from an unnamed traffic engineer, which concurred with trip generation figures cited in studies, but questioned levels of service projected at intersections, particularly, NE Park Drive/I-405 ramps, Maple Valley/Bronson/I-405 ramps, and Maple Valley/Bronson/Sunset Boulevard. The letter questioned intersection analyses of other intersections, and cited the Transpo study which indicates low LOS values at Garden/3rd, which declines from LOS B to E, and at Garden/6th, which shifts from D to E. The letter questioned completeness of the study and loss of access to residential homes. Mrs. Hamblin urged protection of the City from liability lawsuits arising from inadequate traffic analysis and system. Warren Vaupel, 1402 N. 2nd, Renton, reminded Council that a distinction should be made between industrial and residential areas when considering level of service designations in industrial and residential areas, since high levels acceptable in the former are intolerable in residential areas. Robert Hunt, 804 N. 3rd, Renton, expressed interest in the Taxi 2000 proposal suggested in earlier testimony. He suggested constructing a new November 5. 1987 Renton City Council Minutes Pane 366 road to continue N. 6th to Sunset across Paccar property and constructing a new access road to the Puget Drive area as possible mitigation measures. MOVED BY REED, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES. CARRIED. Time: 9:15 p.m. Council reconvened at 9:26 p.m.; roll was called; all members were present. Trish Lavery, 1100 N. 38th Street, Renton, representing Lake Washington Boulevard Safety Committee and Kennydale Community Club, indicated belief that residential concerns can be mitigated, felt that preservation of neighborhoods should take precedence over movement of commuter traffic, and requested that to protect the Kennydale community from increased commuter traffic, the final recommendation include: 1) that the stop signs remain in place along Lake Washington Boulevard; 2) that the speed limits remain at 25 mph; 3) that the 10th Street extension not extend past Garden and connect onto Houser Way N. to Lake Washington Boulevard; and 4) that the extra lane that starts at Park and Lake Washington Boulevard at 10th and Park not be constructed. Darrell Igelmund, 3602 Lake Washington Boulevard, Renton, questioned funding for implementation of Cedar River Corridor Strategy Study and questioned movement of traffic when it reaches end of loop; reiterated support for retention of speed limits and stop signs on Lake Washington Boulevard; opposed the extension of 10th to Houser and onto Lake Washington Boulevard due to encouragement of traffic; opposed the extra lane on Park from Lake Washington Boulevard to 10th; and supported Option "B" of the staff report. Responding to Council question, Mr. Norris clarified that no additional lane is being added on N. Park Drive between N. 10th and Lake Washington Boulevard; the extra lane currently serves as a left turn pocket onto Lake Washinton Boulevard. Mr. Igelmund continued to object to proposed configuration for fifth lane carrying traffic south from Lake Washington Boulevard as denoted in Option "C" since it would encourage additional commuter traffic along that roadway to reach the Boeing plant. Upon further Council inquiry, Mr. Norris confirmed that sharp turns would be necessary by boat/trailer traffic on 8th and again on Houser if the Houser Way revision is not implemented; however, channelization of intersections at 8th/Houser and Houser/Lake Washington Boulevard could be modified to accommodate that traffic. Bruce Wicks, 200 Garden Avenue N., Renton, strongly opposed all proposed options as not being in the interest of the residential community; indicated concern for safety of children and senior citizens; feared property depreciation as a result of arterial traffic; doubted statements that Option "C" is an interim solution which is reversible; and suggested opening all other roads in the City, i.e. pipeline road on Renton Hill, to encourage equal responsibility by all neighborhoods in solving city-wide traffic problems. Mr. Wicks urged that funds contributed by the developer be held while the Cedar River Corridor Strategy Study is reviewed by citizens committee and staff. Dixon Long, 131 Garden Avenue N., Renton, supported suggestion that Houser Way be developed as a perimeter road in lieu of the Garden/Park couplet proposal; and/or parking be prohibited on Park Avenue during peak hours to allow four lanes of traffic instead of two. Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, questioned the difference between campaign contributions offered to candidates by the developer and by the Boeing Company. Steve McBride, 1220 N. 5th, Renton, owner of Custom Cabinet Sales, restated his position that the proposed project, specifically Garden Plaza, is incompatible with existing Comprehensive Plan designation, land use and L-1, light industrial, zoning in the area. The Council Chamber was evacuated at 10:00 p.m. in response to fire alarm. Council meeting reconvened at 10:10 p.m. following determination by Fire Department that the alarm was false; roll was called; all members were present. Mr. McBride continued his testimony by indicating concern with the projected size and scope of the proposal and associated parking; and he felt November 5. 1987 Renton City Council Minutes Page 367 rezone approval would set precedent for additional development and resultant traffic, pedestrian safety problems, pollution and neighborhood degradation. John Juliani, 812 N. 1st Street, Renton, expressed concern that additional proposed development in the next 4-6 years in the area, including Paccar and apartment site on N. 6th, will create need to revamp traffic arterial system again. Applicant Comments Richard Aramburu, 505 Madison Street, Seattle, attorney for the applicant, provided chronological review of rezone and site approval applications to illustrate lengthy and thorough review process by Environmental Review Committee, Hearing Examiner and City Council; and discussed traffic and the sky bridge, the remaining issues under contention. He noted that the City of Renton already has substantial traffic problems caused by inadequate capacity of I-405 and high volume of pass-through traffic; the development will be adding 5-7% to the existing volume; the developer is contributing a total amount of between $2.5 and $2.8 million to mitigate impacts from traffic generation; and the developer must work within existing arterial system in the City. Mr. Aramburu reviewed the applicant's proposal to resolve immediate problems surrounding the development including implementing the couplet, improving streets, installing traffic signals, adding lanes, and modifying the Lake Washington Boulevard/Park/Garden intersection. Secondly, the developer will deposit funds to accommodate future traffic needs in the North Renton transportation benefit area. Thirdly, the developer is willing to assist neighborhoods in the area by funding a neighborhood improvement preservation program to install traffic diverters, stop signs or similar improvements to protect the single family residential community from traffic impacts. Jim Mclsaac, 14715 Bel-Red Road, Bellevue, representing the applicant, offered a slight variation on Option "B" (couplet terminated at N. 3rd/N. 4th Street). Referring to a diagram, Mr. Mclsaac explained proposal for removing Garden Avenue from the arterial system, dropping the fourth southbound lane on Park at N. 4th Street, and continuing only three lanes to N. 3rd, which would allow additional parking on one or the other side of Park. Park would remain two-way between Bronson and N. 3rd. Responding to Council question concerning whether a.m. and p.m. volumes are the same on Park, Mr. Mclsaac explained that there is less northbound traffic using Park in the morning than southbound traffic in the afternoon since other routes such as Bronson and Houser/Factory serve as a one-way couplet in the morning. Roger Carlson, 130 Lakeside, Seattle, representing the applicant, explained the purpose of the proposed sky bridge to carry employees from the parking garage, which will accommodate 700-800 vehicles, directly into the third floor of the office building across the street. An on-grade pedestrian crossing on Park Avenue will be provided as required by the City. Receipt of letter from Building Director Ron Nelson to Council was noted, which pointing out existing sky bridge further north of the site and transmitted copy of City of Seattle ordinance governing such structures. Mr. Aramburu felt that site plan review allows consideration of matters not covered by Code; urged approval of the sky bridge as an appropriate feature; and felt protection should be given to the applicant to assure continuation of the sky bridge after construction unless major land use change occurs or it is no longer in the public interest. Council Discussion Upon Council inquiry regarding whether the applicant would be amenable to site plan approval without parking, Mr. Aramburu indicated that the lessee would not accept the proposal without parking provisions, and he reminded Council that the applicant is contributing $1.1 million towards traffic mitigation. He also reviewed aggressive efforts by Boeing to encourage carpooling and use of transit systems. Upon further Council inquiry regarding latecomer agreements for street improvements, City Attorney Warren advised that latecomer agreements are executed for infrastructure improvements; and further review would be required to determine if such agreements could apply to roadway improvements. On inquiry, Mr. Norris estimated that three new traffic signals will be installed as mitigation measures and one will be removed at Lake Washington/Park/Garden. Discussion was held regarding options available to Council in approving various alternatives, denying the matters, or remanding to the Hearing Examiner.

The checks were from a number of individuals including one check, in each instance from Mr. Eugene Horbach, the owner of E & H Properties. Because of the proximity in time to this Hearing, each of the Council members returned the political contributions. In certain instances political contributions have been made by citizens who would be termed opponents to this rezone and site plan petition. None of the Council members feel that they have been prejudiced by these contributions. There is no belief that anything illegal has been done. However, to avoid any appearance of unfairness or impropriety, this statement has been made for the record. N8.14:13 • PUBLIC MEETING ON NORTH RENTON COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENTS TRAFFIC ANALYSIS AND SCOPING OF ISSUES FOR PREPARATION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT 7:00- 9:00 p.m. Tuesday, November 17th RENTON SENIOR CENTER NORTH FIRST STREET AND BURNETT AVENUE In August and September, the City held public meetings on traffic and other issues associated with development proposals in North Renton. Review of these projects was the beginning of an area- -• wide comprehensive land use and transportation study initiated by the City Council. Since that time, we completed the next phase of the area-wide land use studies, and preliminary work on the analysis of traffic impacts. We are now ready to get public comments on the draft land use plan and traffic analysis, and to determine which issues should be addressed in the environmental impact statement for the comprehensive land use and transportation plan. We have three preliminary land use scenarios prepared for North Renton, and have analyzed the traffic potentially generated by each of those alternatives. We hope that our traffic consultant will complete the analysis of the alternative area-wide road networks by the time of the meeting. The public comments made at this meeting will be one factor used to determine which issues will be addressed in the environmental impact report. The meeting is sponsored by the City of Renton Policy Development Department to provide the public with an opportunity to comment early in the review process. Copies of the agenda and staff's issues paper on the land use alternatives and traffic projections are available from the Policy Development Department, City Hall, 3rd Floor, 235-2552.

The trip generation by both the Popp and , Transpo studies is accurate, given the expected employment density. Employment density of 1,800 in the combined 427.13 k.s.f. buildings is slightly higher than found in the average large scale building where an average density of 4/k.s.f. may be found. Of 'course, should this employment density be increased, the trip production will be under estimated. By and large, for a study of this type, trip production and employment are probably accurate and should not be under dispute. Nevertheless, from a traffic perspective, some of the key intersections presently impacted and subject to impacts from this development have not been analyzed in any of the studies, nor has any assessment been made of I-405 traffic operations. Indeed, has DOT made any response and if so, what? In this regard, one may ask the following the questions. First, considering major, high volume intersections: 1. What is the existing and future LOS at N.E. Park Drive and the I-405 N.B. on/off ramps? 2. What is the existing and future LOS at Maple Valley/Bronson and the I-405 N.B. on/off ramps? 3. What is the future LOS at Maple Valley/Bronson and Sunset Boulevard? Second, considering the circulation system within the neighborhood the following intersection analyses are missing. MEMORANDUM Continuation page 2 Burnett at 3rd Williams at 3rd Wells at 3rd Pelly at 3rd Meadow at 3rd Factory at 3rd RR crossing on 3rd/4th Park at Bronson/North 1st Burnett at 2nd Williams at 2nd Wells at 2nd Pelly at 2nd Park at 2nd Garden at 2nd Meadow at 2nd Factory at 2nd Burnett at 4th Williams at 4th Wells at 4th Pelly at 4th Meadow at 4th Factory at 4th Burnett at 5th Williams at 5th Wells at 5th Pelly at 5th Garden at 5th Of particular interest to senior citizens are traffic operations on North 1st at Burnett and, indeed, all intersections along North 1st. Answers to these elements of the neighborhood circulation system allow an appropriate assessment of mitigating measures if any are feasible at all and, in the alternative, provide for a decision as to whether or not the proposals are in the broad public interest. To compound difficult traffic problems at possibly, already failed intersections carries with it substantial liability. The Transpo study, page 16, Table 1, Levels of Service at Key Intersections further notes low LOS values at Garden and 3rd, going from LOS 'B' to LOS 'E', and at Garden and 6th going from LOS 'D' to LOS 'E'. It should be noted that anything less than • MEMORANDUM Continuation page 3 LOS 'D' is not acceptable in any engineering sense and the city, if approving the project in the absence of remedial action, will tY incur substantial tort liability. �t ' Doubtless, the lack of data for the aforementioned intersections, �' in concert with the major intersections at N.E. Park Drive and the I-405 N.B. on/off ramps, at Maple Valley/Bronson and the I-405 N.B. on/off ramps, and at the Maple Valley/Bronson and Sunset Boulevard intersection is why the hearing examiner remanded this project for further study. Intersections within the neighborhood and major intersections on the neighborhood boundary are not addressed in any fashion. The study is not complete. In terms of neighborhood access, a fundamental question is that associated with intersections that will have a low LOS value; with long standing lines of traffic, how does the individual home owner gain access to his property? Congested conditions deny access for a part of the day as efficiently as a wall or fence. Access is a fundamental right of property ownership. The loss of access may . be subject to action for appropriate compensation. • ANDERSON & JACKSON, P. S. ATTORNEYS AT LAW • ROBERT L.ANDERSON III WILLIAMS AVENUE SOUTH PHONE: RICHARD A.JACKSON 1206) 228-1880 J. RODERIK STEPHENS P.O. BOX 454 RENTON, WASHINGTON 98057 • . November 5 , 1987 • Renton City Council • Renton City Hall' 200 Mill Ave. S. Renton, WA 98055 E & H Properties Rezone and ''Site" Plan Appeal Dear Council Members : I am linable to, be in attendance at- Abe hearing scheduled for November 5 , 1987 . However , I would request that the following comments be considered and read into "the record: I . The clients ! represent have no objection to growth in Renton nor do my clients object to the construction of ' office buildings, in order to assist the Boeing Company in its growth. Such growth is obviously beneficial, to our community, however , it should not be at the expense of the citizens who own homes in North Renton. 'I believe that the comments made by the Hearing Examiner in denying the applications are right on point ." At this time the City has already _ divided the North Renton neighborhood by allowing the construction of North 3rd and North 4th. To permit a one way couplet of Garden and Park south to Bronson Way will essentially destroy any semblance of this single family neighborhood. During certain times of the day property owners along Garden and Park will essentially be denied access to their property by reason of the traffic flow. In my opinion such a denial may result in property owners requesting compensation in accordance with recent Supreme Court rulings . II . The City of Renton has a comprehensive plan - that addresses goals , objectives and policies . I would like to remind the council of some of these policies : Renton City Council November 5 , 1987 Page Two 1 . Paragraph II (A) ( 1 ) (page 11 ) under the Economic Goals states "Activities must minimize pollution, thereby protecting the public interest , welfare, health and safety , and the City ' s image. " 2 . Under Landscape Objectives III (C) (4) (page 13 ) the plan states "Transportation corridors and facilities should be landscaped. " 3 . Residential Goals state that they are to encourage suitable housing and living environments. The objective is to maintain viable neighborhoods and declining neighborhoods should be revitalized. Paragraph IV(A) (7 ) (page 14) Policies state "Entry into neighborhoods by other than local traffic should be discouraged. " 4. Paragraph IV(D) (6) (page 16) states "Screening and setbacks along arterial streets should be more extensive than along local streets . " 5 . Paragraph VII (C) (1 ) (page 20) states "Through- traffic should be routed around residential , commercial and industrial areas . " III . The Comprehensive Plan includes the following Central Area policies : 1. The Land Use Element of the Central Area Comprehensive Plan is intended to be a general guide to land use decision-making. Land use decisions within the Central Area should be consistent with available transportation, community facilities and utilities. The Central Renton Planning Area should provide a variety of housing opportunities , including single family and multiple family housing. Adequate locations for "close-in" living should be available. (See Paragraph IV(B) (1) (page 61 ) . Renton City Council November 5 , 1987 Page Three 2 . Under Transportation Objectives and Policies the Comprehensive Plan states : A. ',Wherever possible through-traffic should be routed around residential areas , particularly low density residential neighborhoods . " (See IV(B) (4) (page 64) . B. "Efforts should be made to mitigate the impacts of existing and future traffic that must pass through residential areas . " (See IV(B) (5) (page 64) . C. "Arterial street corridors should be designed and utilized for transportation activities consistent with the adjoining land use. " (Paragraph IV(B) (8) (page 64) . D. "Airport Way/Logan Avenue, Rainier Avenue and Main Avenue S. /Grady Way should be encouraged as through-arterial traffic routes . " (Paragraph IV(B) (9 ) (page 64) . IV. The Comprehensive Plan for the North Renton residential area as set forth on page 66 states that "North Renton is , and should remain, a quality residential neighborhood that is stable and viable" . Policies set forth at page 66 with regard to the North Renton residential area are as follows : 1 . Land use decisions should limit conflicts between residential and non-residential land uses . 2 . Higher density multi-family uses should serve to buffer lower density uses from commercial and industrial uses and from major arterials . 3. New development should be designed to reduce the haza.rds and nuisances of arterial traffic volumes in North Renton. • Renton City Council November 5 , 1987 Page Four 4. Individual land use decisions should be consistent with available transportation and community facilities and should take into account potential impacts of new development to these systems . I would respectfully ask that the City Council carefully review and consider the goals and policies of its Comprehensive Plan. A thorough review of the Comprehensive Plan will reveal numerous other goals and policies that reflect additional reasons for denying this appeal . I would submit that the adoption of a one- way Park/Garden couplet to Bronson Way will not in any way meet the goals and policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. Such a couplet will effectively destroy the North Renton neighborhood and possibly subject the City to compensation claims by reason of homeowners loosing access to their property during certain times of the day. Should the Council overturn the decision of the hearing examiner and approve the rezone and sitetplan I would suggest that the following mitigation programe adopted: 1 . Establish a one-way couplet on Park and Garden above North 4th Street in accordance with the staff ' s recommendation identified as Option L. I have never heard any recommendation by any property owner for Option C. 2 . Complete Houser Way revision in order to improve traffic flow up to the North Park interchange but not onto Lake Washington Boulevard. 3 . Install traffic diverters in accordance wi hthe S„t&f f Report plus any other divertershe1e the traffic flow and safety studies show a need. 4. Complete Houser Way between North 8th and North 4th. 5. Provide a second on and off ramp between the North Renton interchange and Highway 169 (Maple Valley Highway) . 6 . Open up Logan. Renton City Council November 5 , 1987 Page Five 7. Circulate through traffic around the North Renton neighborhood by using existing corridors on Sunset , Park , Loga , Airport Way, Rainier , and North 6th.

Aramburu: We'd like to see that. And that is a detail that has not been expressly worked out at this point. We would like to have that done, but as things exist, that's going to be dependent upon reviewing matters with the staff. We think that that's fair. Mathews: I guess my concern is that any future development would say, "but we're already paying these latecomer agreements." Warren: I'd have to review the statutory authority for latecomer agreements, but I'm not sure.that the development that has been proposed at this particular time that the transportation elements meet the state statutes for latecomer agreements, and it would be very difficult to make that decision without extensive legal research and a review of the proposals. Mayor: Philosophically, aren't the latecomer agreements to allow recovery of money to a developer who has oversized infrastructure for future development? Warren: Exactly, and we had the first latecomer agreement for street right-of-way in the State of Washington before the enabling legislation was even in place, and the legislation is reasonably restrictive and we would have to do an extensive analysis. That's not to say that the application couldn't be made and we would review it. I'm just saying that it is somewhat problematic under the circumstances we have discussed tonight. Aramburu: I should respond directly to your question, that is, we have accepted the conditions as they are without a latecomer provision, and as far as we're concerned, if we don't get that it doesn't make any difference to us. It may be down the way that may be appropriate, but at this point, we'll accept it without. i/A-A77 U '. 0.nb f°A �i :��� Youn6:11 r t 4i sap CITY OF RENTON "LL FINANCE DEPARTMENT Barbara Y.

MOVED BY TRIMM, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL APPROVE THE COUNCIL MINUTES OF OCTOBER 5, 1987, AS AMENDED. CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Appeal:,E & H Properties in accordance with State and local laws, Mayor Shinpoch opened the public Rezone, R-016-87 hearing to consider the E & H Properties rezone of approximately 3.3 acres of property located between Park Avenue North and Garden Avenue North and between North 5th and North 6th Street from L-1, light industry zone, to B-1, business zone, to allow the future construction of a seven-story office building and a four-story parking garage to be leased by The Boeing Company. Due to inadequate traffic information, the Hearing Examiner in his report of 8/18/87 recommended that the City Council either delay action on the rezone pending outcome of the North Renton Traffic Study or remand the matter back to the Environmental Review Committee for preparation of supplemental environmental information. Following appeal of that ' recommendation by the applicant on 9/1/87 (later withdrawn) and a special presentation held at the Council meeting of 9/28/87, the City Council set a public hearing on the matter this date after receiving additional traffic information (North Renton Transportation Study - A Five Year Scenario), dated 9/21/87, prepared by the applicant's consultants. Correspondence in support of the proposal was read from Harry Walker, 437 Park Avenue North, Renton; Ralph Storey, 1012 North Riverside Drive, Renton; and Ernie Tonda, owner at 1530 North Marion Street and 320 North 3rd Place, Renton. j Policy Development Director Larry Springer presented background information, noting Council options to approve the rezone outright, approve the rezone with conditions including a binding site plan and traffic mitigation measures, or postpone the matter until Council review of the appeal the applicant will file on the Hearing Examiner's decision of 10/9/87 to deny the Garden Plaza site plan on the same site (File No. SA-017-87). Two major issues were outlined by Mr. Springer which must be determined by the City • Council: traffic and land use, both localized and community scale, with protection of single family neighborhood from impacts of prime importance if the neighborhood character remains residential. He advised,that to ensure receipt of relevant input from the community for the long-range transportation plan, a proposal for formation of a steering committee comprised of residents and property owners from Kennydale and North Renton, City staff, and representatives of the Washington State Department of Transportation. Traffic Engineer Gary Norris presented a supplemental traffic report on the Park/Garden Avenues one-way street couplet concept. He reviewed original • October 12, 1987 Renton City Council Minutes Page 318 conditions imposed by the Environmental Review Committee on the rezone, including requirement of a bond for area-wide transportation improvements necessitated by the proposed development in an estimated amount of $692,585.00 (3,515 trips at $197 per trip) or $1.1 million for both the Park and Garden Plaza developments. He advised that the developer is also being required to pay for improvements needed to implement the proposed one-way couplet on Park and Garden Avenues to Bronson Way. Mr. Norris summarized the staff recommendation to adopt Option C as outlined in the supplemental traffic report. The recommendation included converting Garden Avenue to one-way northbound flow and Park to one-way southbound flow, constructing three-lane alignment of Garden between N. 6th and N. 8th Streets to remove the jog, and modifying the Lake Washington Boulevard/Park/Garden intersection (the start and end of the couplet) including removal of existing signal and enlarging the radius to allow three lanes to turn and head up Park to the I-405 interchange. Traffic heading down from the freeway would enter five-lane Park Avenue, with one lane to terminate at the Boeing plant. To discourage northbound traffic from using Lake Washington Boulevard, motorists will be required to take 8th to Houser Way to access onto the boulevard. Also recommended on Park is modification of signals to accommodate one-way flow on N. 8th, N. 6th, N. 4th, N. 3rd and Park/N. 1st/Bronson Way. On Garden, new signal installation at Bronson/Garden is recommended, with modifications at N. 3rd, N. 4th, new signal at N. 6th, new signal at N. 8th and signal at the N. 10th extension across Boeing property and Garden Avenue. Other requirements suggested in the original analysis were also recommended and included remarking and resigning Garden and Park for one-way operation, channelization of N. 6th to three lanes, preparation of Transportation System Management (TSM) plan in conjunction with Metro to reduce trip generation from the site, provision for future widening of N. 6th Street from Park to Garden, provision of area-wide study to define future transportation needs and develop trip generation fee program to pay for necessary improvements, and bond for area-wide improvements at $197 per trip. Traffic counts on existing intersections and levels of service before and after installation of improvements were reviewed. In response to questions by Councilwoman Mathews, Mr. Norris and City Attorney Warren reported that under SEPA regulations, the developer can only be required to fund mitigation measures for impacts identified with that specific project and not beyond; long-term redevelopment of the access road to Coulon Beach Park will be required to ensure accessibility for park visitors, particularly those with large boats; and pull-off lanes will be provided for buses. Upon inquiry by Councilman Reed, Mr. Norris advised that downtown traffic flow problems, specifically on Bronson Way, S. 2nd, S. 3rd, and Main, will be studied as part of city-wide arterial study in conjunction with WSDOT, and flow should improve if streets are rechanneled to utilize all available lane capacity. He also confirmed that sufficient footage exists for a five-lane arterial on Park Avenue between N. 5th and N. 6th. Responding to concern by Councilman Stredicke that the recommended one- way couplet on Park and Garden would impact for residents in the same way as residents have been impacted on N. 3rd and N. 4th, Mr. Norris advised that impacts on all neighborhoods have been considered, and the couplet has been recommended since Garden provides direct access to the north. Zoning Administrator Don Erickson discussed non-traffic related mitigation measures required by the Environmental Review Committee for the project: provision of sufficient recreational and office user amenities; participation by the applicant in the North Renton Traffic Study; and disposition of liquid propane tanks located 150 feet east of the site. He clarified that although the Hearing Examiner denied the site plan due to traffic impact, he found the site plan to be reasonably well-designed with a reasonable layout. Other site specific mitigation measures incorporated into the recommendation were reviewed by Mr. Erickson pertaining to undergrounding of lines, driveway width, incorporation of drop-off lane on N. 6th, lighting, reflective glass, etc. He concluded by reiterating the staff recommendation that Council approve the rezone from L-1 to B-1 with the following conditions: 1) requirement of binding site plan; 2) compliance with all non-traffic related environmental mitigation measures; 3) compliance with all traffic mitigation measures imposed by the ERC and/or subsequent revisions acceptable to Council; and 4) establishment of North Renton Planning Area Steering Committee to resolve traffic and land use issues. • October 12. 1987 Renton City Council Minutes Page 319 City Attorney Lawrence Warren reviewed legal constraints relevant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), reiterating that the applicant can be I required to mitigate only the traffic impacts attributable to his/her specific I proposal, and is not responsible for mitigating existing traffic problems in the area. Referencing letter from Darrell Igelmund requesting that the appeal period for the environmental determination on the proposal be reopened, Mr. Warren cited recent court case which emphasized new administrative code rules and clarified that the ultimate decision maker on the rezone, in this case the City Council, must consider all environmental impacts from a proposed development in its review. Although the formal appeal period established after the Environmental Review Committee issued its Declaration of Environmental Non-Significance cannot be reopened, environmental impacts must be considered by the Council during its subsequent review of the proposal. Audience comment was invited. Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton, requested that the public hearing be continued to allow residents the opportunity to review Hearing Examiner's report on the site plan and new traffic information. She stated that while she does not oppose the development, she is concerned that intolerable traffic problems in North Renton will worsen. Other concerns pertained to existing and projected levels of service at intersections on N. 3rd and N. 4th, particularly at N. 3rd and Factory; increase of traffic volumes resulting from one-way couplet and impact to residents on Park and Garden as those on N. 3rd and N. 4th are impacted; pollution from noise, exhaust and trash; Boeing employee parking on residential streets; expansion of peak hours with change in business hours at Boeing; and safety problems for pedestrians, bicyclists and joggers who cannot use streets and access neighborhood parks due to blocked intersections and heavy traffic volumes. She suggested that police enforcement be increased at blocked intersections, speed limits lowered, residential area signs posted, traffic signals be operational 24 hours per day, and an alternate traffic route be developed around Renton, not through it. John Sienda, 3313 Meadow Avenue North, Renton, opposed conversion of Park Avenue to a one-way configuration. Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, was disappointed that no new alternatives have been suggested except the one-way couplet, and favored development of a peripheral loop around the city to solve traffic problems. Bruce Wicks, 200 Garden Avenue North, Renton, opposed the couplet, expressed concern for safety of children playing on sidewalks if traffic volumes increase, suggested that diverters be installed in residential areas to discourage pass-through traffic, and discussed problems incurred by pedestrians when attempting to cross Bronson Way to reach area parks. 0 Robert Anderson, 111 Williams Avenue South, Renton, attorney for several residents in North Renton, indicated that while residents do not oppose the rezone, they object to mitigation connected with the development. He felt that residential properties should be condemned if the City needs them for major arterials; questioned why Boeing representatives are not involved in the application; supported installation of diverters to keep traffic out of residential areas; suggested that N. 4th be connected to Sunset to increase traffic flow to the freeway; and expressed opposition to the one-way couplet, noting likelihood of elimination of proposed parking lanes as volumes increase in the future. © Steve McBride, 1220 N. 5th Street, Renton, owner of Custom Cabinet Sales, opposed the rezone due to incompatibility of B-1 zoning use and mammoth size of proposed development adjacent to his L-1, light industrial, use; questioned safety of placing an L-1 business, which uses large equipment and hazardous materials, next to an office building; opposed the couplet; supported channeling traffic around the perimeter of the city; and suggested that if the development is approved, a buffer between the L-1 and B-1 zones • be provided by the developer. 0 Norm Peterson, 3402 Park Avenue North, Renton, suggested that downtown streets be restricted to local access only, to be implemented by installing signs and issuing identification stickers to residents. Allen Jett, 583 Kirkland Avenue NE, Renton, urged Council to remand the matter to the Hearing Examiner to give the applicant the opportunity to • October 12, 1987 Renton City Council Minutes Page 320 satisfy concerns which remain. He also questioned access for residents making a left turn onto Sunset from Coulon Park. Mr. Norris confirmed that the matter requires further review since access will be difficult under the current plan. Kathleen Jett, 583 Kirkland Avenue NE, Renton, opposed the rezone since she felt the rezone and site plan should be considered simultaneously to allow review of concomitant traffic and land use problems; questioned whether the matter of air pollution has been addressed; and expressed concern regarding access to Coulon Park. Mary Ellen Hamblin, 13025 138th Avenue SE, owner at 222 Meadow Avenue { North, Renton, indicated that she does not oppose the rezone, but expressed concerns regarding traffic volumes, emergency service access, air pollution, and impact to property value. She suggested that if approved, the rezone should be conditioned with the proviso that no more traffic will be facilitated. y Richard Arambaru, 505 Madison Street, Seattle, attorney representing E & H Properties, clarified that the applicant can do little to mitigate the 70% of traffic using Renton streets to pass through to other destinations, but is willing to mitigate the approximate 7% increase at Lake Washington Boulevard/Park/Garden intersection and 5% on the N. 3rd and N. 4th. corridors from Garden and Park which will result from the development. Councilman Reed questioned validity of traffic percentages generated in the immediate area of the Boeing facility since 70% figure applies to city-wide traffic. Mr. Arambaru reiterated requirements to which the applicant has agreed: build the one-way couplet, and contribute $1.1 million for combined projects in the North Renton benefit area to be used at the City's discretion. He cautioned Council that if this rezone is denied due to lack of a long-range traffic study, other rezones in the area must also be denied because of traffic generation. He also noted that if it is determined that the one-way couplet provides a regional traffic solution, the applicant would be given credit for those portions. Beverly Franklin, 537 Williams Avenue North, Renton, urged continuation of the public hearing to allow the public additional time to review new information. Ruth Larson, 714 High Avenue South, Renton, opposed the rezone if it causes inconvenience to residents because traffic patterns are modified; and questioned whether the city is changing streets to benefit a project instead of maintaining streets to benefit residents. G i Darrell Igelmund, 3602 Lake Washington Boulevard, Renton, objected to separate review of the rezone and site plans since they are intertwined; questioned City Attorney's comment that the rezone cannot be held until the area-wide traffic study is completed; clarified that Kennydale residents are not anti-Boeing but pro-neighborhood preservation; urged retention of lowered speed limit and stop signs on Lake Washington Boulevard to control traffic volumes and deter access to the freeway; and questioned reopening appeal period established after declaration of environmental non-significance. City Attorney Warren reiterated comments regarding closure of formal appeal period but necessity of consideration of environmental factors by City Council at this time. Councilwoman Mathews asked if Council can receive new testimony when considering the appeal on the site plan (yet to be filed) for Garden Plaza. City Attorney Warren advised that new information cannot be received unless the Council votes to allow it. Councilman Stredicke requested that staff evaluate alternatives to end the one-way couplet at N. 3rd or N. 4th; respond to establishment of traffic diverters or intersection circles at residential streets; and report on feasibility of connecting N. 4th to Sunset. Councilwoman Keolker felt that insufficient choices are available at this time to mitigate traffic; preferred waiting to review both site plan appeal and rezone concurrently; suggested considering shift changes at Boeing and shuttle bus service to park and ride lots off the freeway; and supported mitigation measures on N. 3rd and N. 4th such as exist in Bellevue along 140th, a beautiful boulevard with landscaping and wall system. Councilman Clymer noted criticism of one-way couplet by residents and cited Cedar River Corridor Strategy report of 1986 which recommended long-term s' r October 12. 1987 Renton City Council Minutes Page 321 transportation improvements including a perimeter road using Logan and Smithers, connection of Factory and Houser Way, realignment of Garden, and connection of 4th to Sunset. Administrative Assistant Parness confirmed that suggested options have been considered and will be reviewed in the 20-year transportation plan; however, a detailed analysis will not be available for at least six months. Upon inquiry, it was noted that occupancy of the Boeing office building is planned for July of 1988. Council questioned staff comment that the one-way couplet system is reversible if determined inappropriate at a later date, noting that reversal is unlikely.

Over the years our company has purchased all of the residential lots on our block • and some on a neighboring block. These purchases helped our business prosper and the City of Renton grow. In the past Renton has looked upon our growth with enthusiasm, especially in the late 50's and early 60's when we expanded our facility with the city's blessings. Now north Renton is looking at the proposed office buildings by E & H Development. This expansion is another plus. We feel that continued commercial growth in the north Renton is inevitable. In fact, we see it as another step forward for the city towards its continued economic growth. Economic Expansion has come to north Renton and we hope our city takes advantage. We feel that the residents who will be affected will in a short time be repaid by the dollar value this new development will add to their property and community as a whole. Bryant Motors and its employees want to see Renton grow into the future. Sincerely, William Bryant WB:ljm y '' .' STATE OF WASHINGTON) ss . COUNTY OF KING ) I , Maxine E.

Present and future traffic will continue to cause a decrease in property values and certainly will not be good for our health, safety or sanity. Many of you are aware that children and elderly people in particular have a problem in trying to cross many streets in North Penton already; it will only get worse for them and all the rest of the people in that traffic-burdened area. Surely, you can see the necessity of real mitigation of impacts on us, not just superficial reports that practice shell-games or that want to broadly plough one-way streets through viable neighborhoods. I also call your attention to the term "level of service"-(LOS) mentioned in my pre- vious letter, a portion of which was not read at the '"special presentation. The LOS alphabet (A through F) and the corresponding meaning as used by traffic engineers should be looked at carefully..,, The values are NOT appropriate when compared to residential streets. For instance, levels C and D are "acceptable," but I bet none of you would want to live within a few foot of such "acceptable" levels of fast, rush-hour traffic. (I say "fast,"-meaning, of course, when it does move.) Again, the grading of "acceptable" and "desirable" pertains only to the vehicular movement on the street and the capability of maneuverability of automobiles or trucks through such-and-such intersections, not what you people would call desirable or acceptable in YOUR neighborhoods. So please put yourselves i:n. our shoes--we who live there on small lots within a few feet of noisy, dirty traffic. It's interesting to me that, fLuni what I hear, the Boeing Company is not willing to open up Logan again, after having paid the City only half of the appraised value of the Logan right-of-way now shut off from public use. It seems that North Renton res- idents are always being asked to give, give, give and some enterprises only want to take, take, take. And the city so far has been very obliging in that respect. _certain ..-..le It's also interesting that ===-- -« - _. _ �,.,-„ ,-r;=. _ -f f,0/y60,Y,Y/ /c750p!¢ , scan urge the furtherance oe.the nifty Boeing-E & H' Properties' projects in SOMEBODY Er SE'S backyard: While my husband and I look with favor on the project in many ways, none- theless, we wouldn't be crass enough to urge it if those other people's homeplace were being fouled with noise and pollution of cars, cars, cars! Wish those do-gooders would respect our rights to live without -more "impacts from traffic." One woman said that "we could all compromise. . ." We?

I support the constrauction of the office buildings proposed. They will be an asset to the community. Today, many of the light industrial businesses create noise, soot, fumes and garbage from their operations . I would rather have a clean office building than a junk pile. Very truly yours, 14 Harry Walker October 7, 1987 City Council City of Renton 200 Mill Ave South Renton, Wash 98055 City Council, I live in North Renton and I am in favor of the new office buildings that are proposed by E & H Development to be built near Park Avenue. I think this new development is good for the city and the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. I am writing because I am reading in the newspaper some of the north Renton residents are against this development and the City Council ' members should be aware there are North Renton residents who are very much in favor of growth and development downtown and believe the city should do everything possible to encourage new development .

I have attended a number of the hearings and understand the impacts of the development of these two buildings. An approval of this application is good for the city hense good for me and I believe it will also be good for those property owners who are arguing against this approval. Yours very truly, Ernest Person 311 Factory North Renton, Wash 98055 P. S. Sometimes it is difficult to have the vision to look ahead twenty years. I am seventy six years old and started out with horse and cart on Mercer Island, then on to gas and diesel powered vehicles. I for one figure solo automobiles are not for mass transit . Maybe Metro transit is on the right track.

Renton City Council 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, Washington 98055 Re : E & H Properties Rezone File No. ; R-016-87 Members of the City Council:. I am concerned about the apparent superficiality of the review . , that has accompanied this rezone request and the resultant traffic it will create®. 'I have read the North Renton. Transportation Study :-. A Five Year Scenario and am' alarmed..by 'its: contents. Transportation Study is truly' a misnomer in that, it implies that consideration was given to ,something other than facilitating more vehicular : traffic More appropriately, ' this .study should be termed a' traffic' enhancement proposal as every mitigation' measure except one is designed to allow the ,projected number of vehicles to. drive into and out of North Renton! ! Why provide parking spaces? Why provide "kiss-ride" lanes when that could possibly mean four trips per day into the Boeing core? i.e. , drop off and leave; pick, up .and leave. That is desirable at a :park :and ride lot out of the core but not in dense traffic zones. The one proposal to reduce vehicle, trips(a Traffic Systems Management Program) will probably not be' too helpful when you consider•that 85% of workers commute by car and average 21 minutes to make a 10 mile trip. (USA Today, ' P. 1 and 3A, June 26,. 1987) , . • .. Looking back at articles reithe cruising problem, I am struck by . • the Mayor's letter to the. editor of the local , paper in which she `outlined the dimensions of that problem*, stating "the'y descend on weekends in numbers approaching 5,000" . . .. She chided their suggestion to return. to. 2-way streets by saying that that propos- al was discarded as "liable to create peak-hour gridlock trying to accomodate •1000000 vehicles' which travel Renton streets to and from work each. dayo' At that time, she told the Council, "the single excuse" for this law is ,to make sure that fire trucks,. ambulances and other emergency vehicles can get through to crisis situations without having to fight wall to wall traffic" . So, 5,000 cruisers and only on weekends and only for a few hours. Now you are being asked to allow 5,300 more vehicle, trips per day through .North Renton every work day, year in and year out! And what.. mitigation, are you offered?. . . .stretch' out the rush. hour! Prolong the agony for the residents and make it impossible to get emergency vehicles in or out for longer periods of the day. Citizens::will have ,'to 'be - enjoined 'from" calling in heart attacks, fires or other aid requests, no emergencies of any kind could be tolerated`,during rush hour .traffic. . . . . . . . .

September 24, 1987 3IE VAUPEL P. O. Box 755 Renton WA 98057 To: Mayor'and City Council CITY OF RENTOM City Clerk • SEP 1987 Hearing Examiner a 8 O CITY CLEP,K'S OFFICE Re: Rezone of E & H Properties; Bearing at Council on Septembe Site Plan Approval request to Hearing Examiner for Sept r REM:WEE Dear City Officials: We belatedly received the copy of the North Renton transportation plan and have only a couple of hours .to read .it and get .our response in the mail to make cer- tain it will timely arrive for the September 28th hearing. Thus, our response unfortunately can not possibly represent all of our concerns. Here are the highlights as we see them: • 1. The Hearing Examiner, in making his rezone recommendation, indicated that he felt the transportation plan .should be available for study prior to final approval by the Council. I doubt that 'any hearing examiner. would have meant such a limited traffic study. The traffic study presented reflects only a narrow, constrictive view of North Renton's present and projected traffic,problems`: It doesn't suf- ficiently address any of the circulation problems outside the immediate area of the development, and even when addressed, proposes little or no mitigation efforts other than the typical traffic engineer's method of_solving heavy traffic, i.e. , making bigger roadways and one-waying .streets even if they are residential. One- way streets in all residential .ares should be abolished.and forever discontinued as a corrective measure to get through traffic.out of or into the business centers. One-way streets are inconvenient for. residents, shoppers and visitors and only en- courage and accarmlodate .non-resident, pass-through traffic.which has no business in such residential areas. 2. Correspondence to you has indicated that "The developer will show one alter- native traffic system can be devised to accommodate the development identified in this scenario." That reference is, of. gourse, to one-waging Park and Garden. In the correspondence, it was called a .short-term scenario; I would call it a short- sighted scenario. Well, of course, the City could accommodate this and any other development if it would one-way and make .larger all of our streets so that all roads lead to and from Boeing. But do you elected officials want that? The residents don't. Just where do residents appear on the totel pole. of importance? Obviously, in the past (but hopefully not in the future) , North Renton residents haven't been up there very high in importance, considering what has been done to them, their streets, their health and safety and their property.,values. - We had_all hoped that consideration of ALL THE. CITY'S RESIDENTS was important to you, not just those on Renton Hill, Victoria Hills and Kennydale where measures have commendably been taken to help preserve the neighborhood streets for purposes other than non-resident, fast, pass-through traffic. We have pointed out time and titre again that we really are human beings up there. . . living, breathing humans who should be. entitled to the same protections and consider- ations as other residents have been given in the past. 3. If the one-waying of Park and Garden is unfortunately deemed to be appropriate for the long-suffering residents, we wonder if the so-called traffic plan takes into consideration the city civic center as proposed where the northermost portion of Mill will be closed and Main Avenue may become two-way traffic. And what do you do with the rest of the traffic after it gets out of our area? 4. If Garden is one-wayed ficuu Bronson on northward, how would drivers going west on North 2nd be able to continue on North 2nd at Garden going west? Any map would show that there is a fair-sized jog. in North 2nd at Garden where drivers have to jog left a number of feet in order to proceed on that street. /7 . Page 2 5. There has been no consideration (seemingly) given to the suggestions previously submitted by residents for the area east of Park--to the contrary, with some possible exceptions attached at the .end of the report under the last _section, it, seems the transportation plan presented to .you only compounds the problems for residents in that half of North Renton. Again, where do people in that area rank in impotance? It seems quite far down on the totem pole. • 6. Please note that the report itself, on page 4, in Section II, at the last paragraph, says "About 50% of the project traffic will penetrate the North Renton residential area on Park and Garden Avenues, and on North 3rd and 4th Streets. About 23% will penetrate the residential area south' of North 3rd Street via Park and Garden. Further percentage increases are shown on page .2,. Section III (toward the' end of. the report) . All of these projections are scary in an already over-used traffic system cutting up an established neighborhood. 7. Again, on page 2, same section, mention was finally made of the area on N. 3rd east of Park and Garden. .Page 4 under those "mitigations" and "suggested improvements (?) " again mentions one-waging Garden through the neighborhood as;aznitigation! A mitigation? This. is particularly outrageous. On 'that same page, we do believe the reduction of lanes of traffic on North 3rd and 4th.00uld reduce the stress on the residents there, but, plans should be drawn in the future to put. those two streets back for use by the resi- dents instead of being"used almost solely by fast,. through traffic::: North 3rd goes ONLY through a residential area, not a business area or a vacant.area. Page 4 (and the last page) shows a widening of North 3rd at Sunset and .under.405. Why waste money there at this time and instead take the continued suggestions of North ,Renton residents and open up North 4th. at Sunset?. I understand that will be•in the long range plan's study, but relief is needed NOW, not just long range. 8. On page 5, last section (next .to .last.page)., there is a.good suggestion to make two ways out•of.Willians.and'.Wel1s, fran my perspective. Some of us have been in favor of that for years (we used to live on Wells) , but, of course, I,can't speak for them there now. The traffic' diverters also mentioned in that paragraph are what most of us have been requesting for.all of, the residential area, not just at a few places. 9. Page 8 of Section.II provides for "kiss-ride pull out.", (.I wish someone would throw away those outdated phrasing.).. Is that. "pull out" actually on-public property? If so, we object. The building grounds .should be able'to acocirmiodate this--the drop off of passengers should be on the- actual premises, not on public streets. 10. Another thing that troubles me is the use of the term "level of service" (LOS) , indicating that the LOS-may be graded A through F. That may'be' good jargon for 'use in commercial/industrial areas, .but the values are not equal when compared to residential streets used for through..traffic.: 'For instance, it states that Level C "is desirable" and that Level D "is acceptable." The Council should remember that desirable and acceptable (the latter especially representing. very high volumes of traffic) refer ONLY to the maneuverability and movement on the streets, not what is desirable or acceptable to the residents' 'multiple .senses. None of you and: none of the staff live in North Renton and thus can not savor.these wonderful"desirable" and "acceptable" levels of traffic. You bet it's different from the viewpoint of residents who live on 40-foot lots, -with bedrooms, living.roans and kitchens within a very few feet of the loud, dirty traffic going past. Lastly, residents appreciate all traffic studies; , they help to focus on our very real,-'but awful traffic problems that cause us much consternation. However, it should be remembered that people who live there are;also .experts on traffic. .We live with it 24 hours a day, not just to go survey it once in awhile. We know the area;' we know the streets; we know the traffic and all of its attendant problems. As .you,know, too,. most people on 3rd and 4th have had to abandon,_the use of their garages and front yards. Please don't do that to Garden or any other street. It would be downright callous to do it again. Attachment: Suggestions previously submitted �ersie Vaupel ��- Marge Ricetor and Versie Vaupel £NOTES IN ABBREVIA1Eu FORM. worked on se suggestions TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS: 1. Re-open North 4th at Sunset Highway from Park Ave to Sunset 2. Change N. 4th from one-way west to two ways, both east and east 3. Restrict by signs or diverters all peak-hour traffic from the already congested residential area from south of 4th on Garden and-Meadow, i.e. , no peak hour traffic (except local residential or business) from entering Garden, Meadow or Factory, from 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm. The people west of Park should have some input as to their traffic- pattern desires. (One-way streets in North. Renton "should neveri begin res d' .areas:-).,:._ 4. Reopen Houser Way N. , at N. 4th 5. Reopen Logan from N. 6th to exit north of the buildings, to have direct or more direct access to 1-405, not onto Take Washington Blvd. However, those going south now parked south of Logan-Boeing complex, should be allowed to exit onto Logan. At very least, Boeing-generated traffic going east or north should be required to enter and exit the company facilities onto Logan going out to the north through the complex, not around the Logan-Boeing complex. Ever since the city allowed Boeing to case off Logan and PACCAR to close off Houser way (Logan at 6th and Houser at 4th) , the 'squeeze has been toward the center and into the . residential areas. $128K vs. $105K paid by Boeing; Park Ave. Interwoven into the street vacation for Boeing's benefit was a "temporary" trade-off of a portion of Park, estimated value of approx. $23K, with the city to allow the Park Ave portion to revert to Boeing in 20 years if Park is not widened. If the city allowed the lesser cost of the Logan Ave vacation of $105K (vs. 128K) , why should the property revert to Boeing ever? 6. BN tracks at eastern edge of the N Renton area could some day be used as rapid transit. 7. Use out-of-the area parking lots for both Metro and for Boeing-sponsored shuttle buses. 8. All construction haulings and any subsequent haulings as well as truck de- liver*ies must be diverted away from neighborhoods directly onto I-405 at the exit just immediately north of Boeing's large parking lot. 9. Add another I-405 r p and exit at N. 6th. 10. Reduce speed limits on residential streets to 25 miles per hour with concentrated enforcement. For instance, N. 3rd and N. 4th are primarily 35 MPH speed limit (with most drivers dangerously exceeding the limit) . Emphasize: concentrated and strict enforcement of all traffic lanes, esp. speed and blocking cross sts. Renton has traditionally responded to more traffic with a quick and hurtful solution: namely, widen and speed up residential streets, and to make more of them. So my husband had this suggestion last week when he and others were precluded from speaking: Build no more parking lots or parking garages; force Renton and the business community, as well as employees and residents to find better alternatives_ instead of more and more surface traffic. If any garages or parking lots are built, then those facilities should preclude fewer than three people from using them. Same businesses now require such. Seattle and Bellevue and downtown Renton don't provide parking spaces for their employees, and if Renton is going to become an office center, we'd better find better ways of getting the employees in and out of our living space.

REMOVIE_, Re: Transportation Study--A five-year scenario, September 1981 To whom it may concern: The above Study states on page 4 , Section II, that the net useable floor area of the Garden Plaza and Park Plaza buildings is 367 ,340 square feet, and that the estimated employee load at this time is 1800 people (204 square foot/per person) , with an associated 1768 car spaces allocated to support the work force. It should be noted that this personnel/square feet count is quite low compared with Boeing 's past history of other office areas (approx- imately 110 square feet/person) , and is predicated on fairly moderate production levels. My observations of Boeing, as a former 28-year employee, indi- cate that, as business and production rates increase, the number of people per office building will increase dramatically. This is the current business prognosis and could mean that the head count in the new buildings could easily double in the near future, with a correspond- ing equivalent increase in employee automobile traffic through the North Renton residential areas, even with the best intentions of all parties concerned. Therefore, consideration should .be given now. to reducing the number of automobile parking spaces required with the new buildings . This action will automatically eliminate a large amount of automobile traffic and will force the City, Metro and Boeing into taking action to provide better and more effective alternate modes of travel such as Preferred Car Pool Parking (for, say, three or more employees) , Park and Ride lots, shuttle buses, motor-pool vans, and general bus service. to get people to and from work without driving their indi- vidual cars from home to the work place door. You will recall that downtown Renton office buildings do not re- quire parking lots or garages. Other cities likewise have few if any mandatory requirements for employee . parking. If the City is grow- ing and planning office centers , we can never keep up with traffic needs if you insist on requirements for large parking lots and garages. Parking lots and garages are an outmoded way of handling commuter and employee parking, especially for such large office buildings. Yours truly, Warren F. Vaupel P. O.

Renton, Washington 98055 RE: Garden Plaza Rezone Request Council Members: In reviewing the proposed rezone request for the Garden Plaza project, it is apparent that the city staffhas seen fit to conclude that the project rezone should be granted without consideration to the conflict between the incompatibility of the existing L-,1 business and the proposed high occupancy office building. Staff has additionally suggested'-.that-'the :responsibility:=for buffering_between non-nuisance and nuisance zones is the responsibility of the nuisance zone. As recently as last Friday, certain members of city staff have been operating as if the project has already been rezoned in regards to information being stated to the public. Certain statements made by representatives of the Blaylock Company and attorneys representing the rezone request would try to imply that all mitigating circum- stances regarding the rezone have been complied with. The applicant has in fact participated in the North Renton Traffic Study and agreed to provide additional on and off-site recreational facilities. However, conclusion 18 of the Renton hearing examiners report indicates that significant questions have been raised that have not been properly answered, "therefore providing sufficient justifi- cation-to remand the entire matter back to the ERC for reconsideration of its enviromental determination." Conclusion 17 also reinforces our contention that the significance of a project this size on existing and future properties and businesses must be fully evaluated prior to the implimentation of a decision. Requests by the applicant for expeditious treatment in regards to a quick decision on the part of the City Council imparts an unfair pressure on council members to address a complex issue which affects a large portion of Renton city and its residents. Theoretically speaking, the public is to avail themselves of the opportunity to present input regarding the rezone to the Hearing Examiner whereby he will ordinarily render a recommendation to the City Council for approval or denial. In this case, the Hearing Examiner has recommended to the council that insufficient information has been provided by the applicant to address the many significant questions that have bee raised. Not only is the information insufficient but the appropriateness of the answers have not even had an opportunity to be addressed. 1220 N. 5th, Renton, Washington 98055 (206) 255-9620 , It is our position that the proposed project in the requested rezone is incompatible with the nature of both the existing zone and the existing businesses. It is also our contention that the city comprehensive land use plan shows future develop-: ment to be the potential rezone to H-1 industrial moving toward the western existing B-1 zone or continued use of the existing L-1 industrial to alleviate just the type of conflict which is being caused by the subject rezone. I shudder to think of the problems that would result, should this rezone actually result in the islanding of an' existing manufacturing facility not to mention if the precedent should be-carried forward and the city's existing school bus depot ultimatley be rezoned to high occupancy mid-rise office use as well. In view of the significance of the projected rezone upon our business, we find it neccessary to retain legal council to begin an investigation into the possible violation of our rights as property owners as protected by city covenants and zoning ordinances should this projected rezone be approved as presented. In addition we intend to instruct council to use every available means to protect those rights including court ordered injunction against construction till such time that all legal remedies might be exhausted.

We believe the rezone is premature and that the City has not • adequately analyzed all of its impacts, including the impact of leaving a small isolated portion of L-1 within the block. We believe that if the property is rezoned based upon the existing • information before the Council, such a rezone will constitute an illegal spot zone. A. Current L-1 Uses. Custom Cabinet Sales has been operating for a number of years at its present location. It manufactures custom cabinets and employs 26 people. The business operates within all applicable environmental and air pollution laws; however, it is an industrial use and produces industrial. impacts. It has two smoke stacks, one which discharges the residue from sawdust and another which discharges the residue from various paint and lacquer operations. Semi-trucks deliver and pick up material and require - ' unloading with fork lifts. This activity presently occurs within 5th Street. Parking for employees is on the street. If the rezone goes through as planned, Custom Cabinet Sales will be left as an isolated L-1 use on the corner of a block. Not , only is this an illogical zoning pattern; it will produce adverse impact upon Custom Cabinet Sales as well as the proposed office. structures. Custom Cabinet Sales is not now a nuisance because it operates in a district designed for light industrial uses. • 1/1655-1/Mayorlet.928 . CaC: c Mayor Shinpoch and Members of the Council Page 2 September 28, 1987 However, when the vast majority of the block is taken up with office buildings and parking structures,, the discharges from the smoke stacks may cause damage or complaints from automobile owners as well as the office buildings. Trucks loading and unloading may block traffic making it difficult to gain access to the parking garages. Custom Cabinet Sales will be bothered even more than it is at present by office workers on lunch hour who stroll into the premises uninvited to see what is going on. By leaving this one section of the block L-1, the City is trans- forming a good business into a nuisance. No analysis has been undertaken in any of the documents reviewed by the Hearing Examiner as to the impact of the rezone on this particular L-1 property or as to the impact on the City's overall economic health by loosing a substantial portion of L-1 zoning. Fairness and good zoning practice require analysis of these issues. B. Spot Zone. • The zoning as proposed constitutes an illegal spot zone. Spot zoning was defined in SAVE v. Bothell, 89 Wn. 2d 862, 869, 576 P. 2d 401 (1978) as: Spot zoning is zoning with disregard for the welfare of the whole community, for the benefit of a few or in violation of the comprehensive plan. Such action is itself arbitrary and capricious.. The proposed rezone is clearly for the benefit of a few with disregard for the welfare of the whole community. The project is being pushed through with enormous speed because a major employer is said to need this building. There has been no analysis of the long range impacts on the City if it rezones this L-1 area. There has been no significant analysis of the impacts on the adjacent residential areas as a result of increased traffic and there has apparently been no analysis of the logic of the current zone boundaries. The proposed rezone is also in violation of the Comprehensive Plan. The Land Use Element of the Plan is found on a map adopted in 1986. That map shows future growth for this area to be heavy industry, not office. There is no showing in the record of any changed conditions which would justify this rezone in violation of the Comprehensive Plan for the area. The rezone, based on the present information, also violates a number of general goals and policies. Goal I A.1. states that 1/1655-1/Mayorlet.928 Mayor Shinpoch and Members of the Council Page 3 September 28, 1987 adequate transportation capacity and utilities necessary to service new development should be available or provided in conjunction with actual development. The North Renton Transportation Study -- A 5-Year Scenario dated September, 1987 provided by the developer only illustrates the tremendous increase in traffic congestion which will result if office buildings are constructed on the property proposed to be rezoned. The traffic information is sketchy at best. I refer you specifically to the September 18, 1987 memo from Mike Parness to the Renton City Council which the staff determined that the traffic report from William E. Popp Associates "was not in an acceptable form nor did it contain the information required in the original scope of work. " The traffic study proposes road construction which would result in one way traffic patterns. This is merely a theoretical construct and its feasibility has not been adequately analyzed. It does not justify allowing development when the transportation facilities are not adequate. Policy V A. relating to commercial areas requires that commercial areas be located and designed to minimize travel and congestion and that commercial areas be compatible with adjacent land uses. The office use as proposed fails to meet these tests. The City Council must consider the heavy industrial uses on the Paccar site and the resulting noise and air pollution when analyzing whether an office building and parking structure is compatible with heavy industrial uses or with the Custom Cabinet Sales use. The proposed rezone also violates the Industrial Goals, VI A. 1. and 2 . that industrial areas should be compatible with adjacent land uses and that buffers should be placed between industrial districts and other land uses. No buffering has been proposed between the new office use and the L-1 area nor is any buffering proposed for the adjacent heavy industrial uses. Rezones such as the one proposed, without adequate buffering or logical boundary designs, result only in the legal existing uses being penalized. They become nuisances when they should be allowed to exist in appropriate zones without interfering with incompatible adjacent uses. Before enacting the proposed rezone, we urge the Council to consider carefully the spot rezone nature of this proposal. Office uses on 90% of a block are illogical and violate all good planning principles. No provisions are being proposed to buffer the incompatible uses which the proposal allows to remain on the block nor has adequate analysis been done of. the traffic impacts . 1/1655-1/MayorLet.928 t 2 Mayor Shinpoch and Members of the Council Page 4 September 28, 1987 r of such a rezone. C. Failure to Meet Renton Rezone Criteria. The rezone does not meet any of the three criteria which the Council must consider, RMC 4-3014 (C) . Only criteri on 1. (c) . which requires a showing of "significant and material change" 4- 3014 (C) of circumstances might provide justification for the rezone. But there is no evidence in the record to support this needed finding. While conditions may be imposed at the building permit stage, this Council has considerably greater latitude to impose conditions under a contract rezone at this stage of the proposal. This matter should be remanded to the ERC for further environmental review to determine whether an environmental impact statement is necessary or whether the "North Renton Transportation Study -- A Five Year Scenario" is adequate to address the transportation needs. The Council, in a public hearing, cannot be expected to analyze this document on the spur of the moment. This work appropriately belongs with staff. The matter, however, has been rushed forward for decision. A decision of this magnitude without proper analysis could lead to devastating results. It should be noted that the hearing on the building permit is scheduled for tomorrow. The Hearing Examiner will have no more opportunity to make a detailed analysis than you Councilmembers have had. In the face of the protests of a number of citizens concerning the traffic impacts and the serious concerns of Custom Cabinet Sales, we urge you to remand this matter for further consideration. A decision based on the present record is likely to be found arbitrary and capricious. Very truly yours, JONSON & JONSON, P.S. XtGi;r--- 114 Linda M.

Comments in support were: strict site selection requirements are imposed by funding agencies, with location adjacent to churches, bus lines and shopping of prime importance to promote integration of group home residents into the community; selected sites will be expensive to develop due to required improvements; property on Olympia was purchased by Lutheran Church in last two years to maintain integrity of community; design of proposed 2500 square foot home as well as landscaping and fencing will be attractive, will blend with existing character of neighborhood, and will not decrease value of surrounding homes; the required lot size is 35,000 square feet; a vast difference in benefit exists between a group home and an institution; other cities have group homes for their developmentally disabled residents, including Puyallup with three and Bellevue with four; group homes do not have a detrimental effect on the neighborhood and their residents are not a bad influence; since residents do not drive cars, traffic is not increased. Representatives of Good Shepherd indicated desire to meet with neighbors, provide information regarding the home, and hold open houses. Council members questioned why location of group homes was determined prior to approval of funding; and whether funding is site specific or another site could be selected if zoning is not approved after funding is allocated. Mr. Morris indicated that the request for funding is based upon cost to develop the two specified sites; selection of a different location may require higher allocation which is not available; and if the group homes do not proceed as proposed, that funding could be applied to the Renton Museum • rehabilitation.

SPECIAL Background information was provided: E & H Properties has submitted a PRESENTATION request to rezone approximately 3.3 acres of property located between Park Rezone: E Avenue North and Garden Avenue North between North 5th and North 6th Properties, R-016-87 Street from L-1, light industry zone, to B-1, business zone, to allow the future construction of a six-story office building and a three-story parking garage. Following public hearing on 8/4/87, the Hearing Examiner issued a recommendation stating that 1) the City Council should delay'action on the request pending the outcome of the North Renton Traffic Study, and 2) the City Council may want to consider remanding the matter back to the Environmental Review Committee for preparation of supplemental environmental information. The applicant appealed the Examiner's recommendation on 9/1/87, withdrew the appeal on 9/14/87, and agreed to submit a traffic study to allow the City Council to make a decision on the rezone. City Attorney Warren advised that the site proposed for the Park Plaza office project is already zoned B-1, business; however, a rezone from L-1 to B-1 is being sought for the 3.3 acres proposed for the Garden Plaza Office project. Correspondence was read from Mary Ellen Hamblin, owner at 222 Meadow Avenue North, Renton, urging rejection of the rezone request for the following reasons: 1) no air pollution data was considered; 2) increased traffic levels are unacceptable; 3) methods to deal with the increased traffic effectively decimate the residential character of North Renton; 4) no area- wide traffic analysis is available; and 5) costs of required capital projects may not be covered by current vehicle trip fees and could impinge on other fiscal decisions of the city. September 28. 1987 Renton City Council Minutes Pane 300 ECorrespondence from Versie Vaupel, P.O. Box 755, Renton, indicated concern that the transportation plan submitted by the applicant is extremely limited and recommends one-way streets which only encourage non-resident, pass-through traffic on residential streets; objected to changing Park and Garden to one-way streets, which the residents oppose; questioned whether traffic changes proposed in the new civic center plan or the jog in North 2nd at Garden have been considered; objected to high percentages projected in traffic volume increases on residential streets; cited one-way traffic on Garden as being listed as mitigation measure; objected to widening North 3rd at Sunset and under 405; favored making Williams and Wells two-way traffic using traffic diverters; objected to passenger drop-off area installed on public property; cited misleading level of service (LOS) indicating that LOS D is acceptable for residential living; indicated that residents are the experts since they live with traffic 24 hours per day; noted that people on 3rd or 4th have had to abandon use of garages and front yards, and urged protection from similar impacts to residents on Garden. Suggestions submitted by Marge Richter and Versie Vaupel were: 1) reopen North 4th at Sunset from Park to Sunset; 2) change North 4th from one-way west to two ways, both east and west; 3) restrict all peak hour traffic from south of 4th on Garden and Meadow; 4) reopen Houser Way N., at North 4th; 5) reopen Logan from North 6th to exit north of the buildings to directly access I-405; 6) use railroad tracks at eastern edge of the North Renton area for rapid transit; 7) use out-of-area parking lots for both Metro and Boeing- sponsored shuttle buses; 8) divert all construction haulings and truck deliveries away from neighborhoods directly onto I-405 north of Boeing; 9) add I-405 on-ramp and exit at North 6th; 10) and reduce speed limits on residential streets to 25 mph. Letter from Warren F. Vaupel, P.O. Box 755, Renton, pointed out that the proposed number of employees (1800) requiring 1768 parking spaces for the 367,340 square foot Garden and Park Plaza buildings (204 square feet per person) will probably increase in view of Boeing's past practice of providing approximately 110 square feet per person. He urged reducing the number of parking spaces to encourage employees to use alternate modes of traffic; and noted that other cities do not require employee parking for office buildings. Correspondence was read from Steven J. McBride, Custom Cabinet Sales, 1220 N. 5th, Renton, citing incompatibility between his existing L-1 business and proposed high occupancy office building; noting that the comprehensive plan shows future development to be H-1 moving towards the western existing B-1 zone; and urging continued use of the existing L-1 industrial zone to alleviate conflict which would be caused by the proposed rezone. Traffic Engineer Gary Norris reviewed the document prepared and submitted by E & H Properties, entitled the North Renton Transportation Study--A Five Year Scenario, and described City staffs position on the document. He reported the purpose of the study to present facts necessary to determine whether or not the existing transportation network and residential neighborhood with reasonable mitigation measures can satisfactorily accommodate traffic impacts of the proposed development as suggested within the context of the rezone as well as other probable development proposals within the next five years. Mr. Norris advised that at the time the request for rezone was submitted, a development proposal with specific traffic impact study was presented to staff. Staff reviewed the study and established mitigation measures necessary to accommodate development; however, in the interim between time of input and the hearing, the applicant had changed the scale of the development and, therefore, at the public hearing, staff was unable to offer specific comments regarding impacts. During the hearing, staff indicated that an area-wide traffic study, the North Renton Benefit Assessment District Transportation Study, evaluating 15 to 20 year development scenario with specific intent of etablishing fee mitigation program was in process. As a result, the Hearing Examiner required the study to be complete prior to any decision regarding the rezone. However, staff thought because of the nature and scope of the study, much public comment would be necessary which would delay completion of the study in a timely manner to process the rezone. In an effort to meet the needs of the public process and the Hearing Examiner request, the applicant prepared a synopsis of traffic impacts from two proposed known developments and an analysis of the impacts within five years. The study does not include long- range analysis of the 15-20 time frame, does not test roadway alignments, area-wide traffic mitigation fee structure, and does not present staff response September 28. 1987 Renton City Council Minutes Pane 301 to proposed traffic mitigation measures, arterial street network or residential neighborhood. - I: Mr. Norris began his review of the Transportation Study with an identification of the proposed project. Garden Plaza Office Project is a six- story 245,850 square foot building with a three-story parking structure j; housing 1,023 parking spaces, located between Park Avenue North and Garden Avenue North between North 5th and 6th Streets. The Park Plaza Office Project, a seven-story, i81,277 square foot building with a five-story j parking structure for 1178 stalls plus 107 surface parking spaces immediately adjacent to the office building, is located on the west side of Park Avenue 1 North approximately 350 feet north of North 6th Street. The parking structure is located on the east side of Park Avenue North, approximately 350 feet north of North 6th Street. Mr. Norris reviewed the summary of traffic impacts and mitigation measures including projection of traffic access patterns and estimated percentage of increases. Levels of service (LOS) at key intersections were discussed and I disagreement noted with specific recommendations contained in mitigation items 2 and 8 of the report. Also of particular interest was the applicant's proposal to implement a one-way traffic couplet on Park and Garden, with Park accommodating one-way southbound traffic and Garden designated for northbound traffic; additional information has been requested from the applicant regarding the couplet concept. Responding to question asked by Mrs. Vaupel, Mr. Norris confirmed that the pull-off lane to deliver passengers will be located on private property. Disputing LOS figures for certain intersections, Councilman Reed asked whether staff agreed with the analyses contained in the consultant's report. Mr. Norris stated that staff concurs with the consultant's traffic report with certain minor exceptions. Discussion was held regarding possible extension of N. 4th to Sunset, and assurances requested by Council that the interim plan would not preclude implementation of long-range plans at a later date. Mr. Norris also indicated that following review of add-ons to the study, the Traffic Engineering Department would be prepared to make a full recommendation to the Council. Audience comment was invited. Richard Arambaru, 505 Madison Street, attorney for the applicant, indicated that the complete study presented to Council on 9/21/87, summarizes the project description, and makes an argument for why the rezone should be granted. It also includes background information for the rezone as well as the traffic description. He pointed to a model display which illustrated existing and proposed development in the area of the subject site to be built by E & H Properties for lease by The Boeing Company. MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR OCTOBER 12, 1987, TO CONSIDER THE E & H PROPERTIES REZONE AND SIMULTANEOUSLY REQUEST THAT THE HEARING EXAMINER HAVE A RECOMMENDATION ON THE SITE PLAN AT THAT TIME. It was asked that the Hearing Examiner's reports on the site plans for the Garden Plaza and Park Plaza office buildings be issued on Friday, October 9, to allow review by Council prior to the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED. Upon Council inquiry, City Attorney Warren reviewed legal aspects of { disclosure by Council members on the matter prior to the public hearing. William Tozer, 905 N. 36th Street, Renton, and Darrel Igelmund, 3602 Lake Washington Boulevard, Renton, stated that although the proposal is attractive, they objected to 15-25% increase in traffic generated from the subject site onto Lake Washington Boulevard in the Kennydale area. Representing the Lake Washington Boulevard Safety Project Team, Mr. Igelmund urged preparation of an EIS to address safety for residents and property values in the Kennydale area; objected to the issuance of a declaration of environmental non-significance for the proposal by the Environmental Review Committee; urged retention of 25 mph speed limits and stop signs along Lake Washington Boulevard; opposed tying Houser Way into the extension of 10th Street and preferred the 8th Street access to Lake Washington Boulevard; noted that sidewalks or roadway improvements have not been provided in Kennydale since annexation; and urged delay of rezone approval until developers and the City make necessary improvements. Linda Youngs, 2200 112th Avenue NE, Bellevue, attorney for Custom Cabinet Sales, cautioned that the small area located at 1220 North 5th owned by her client is zoned L-1, and will become an isolated use if the E & H N September 28, 1987 Renton City Council Minutes Page 302 Properties rezone to B-1 is approved. She felt that serious legal problems could occur if the City spot zones to the benefit of a few and the detriment • of the community as a whole. Ms. Youngs pointed out that her client's light industrial use could be considered a nuisance to employees using parking garages due to emission of smoke, sawdust, paint fumes, etc., and questioned issuance of declaration of non-significance by the ERC. Correspondence submitted into the record by Ms. Youngs further addressed the issue of spot zoning. Robert Anderson, 111 Williams Avenue South, Renton, attorney for several neighbors in North Renton, reported concerns of his clients that the applicant's traffic study is insufficient and that the traffic impact in North Renton has not been fully addressed or mitigated for growth in the next five years. Mr. Anderson discussed impacts on residents from an additional 5,300 vehicle trips per day along residential streets, particularly if Garden becomes a one-way couplet. He suggested that existing traffic corridors such as Logan, Park, North 3rd, North 4th and North 6th be improved, and other alternatives be reviewed, such as extending North 4th to Sunset, extending Houser from North 8th to North 4th, opening Logan from 6th to the intersection at Lake Washington Boulevard should be reviewed. Howard Keene, 227 Garden Avenue North, Renton, opposed the proposed one-way couplet on Garden Avenue, noting that families with young children reside on that street. He felt that the couplet would create traffic impacts similar to volumes which currently exist on North 3rd and 4th Streets, which would be unacceptable to the residential community. Norma Cugini, 611 Renton Avenue S., Renton, favored the project and indicated she would hate to see Renton miss out on something as attractive as what is proposed by the developer. She felt that by compromising, the City could have something they could be really proud of. Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, recalled submitting his own i traffic plan to mitigate traffic problems caused by the downtown loop which moved traffic to the periphery of the downtown area to relieve the central business district and residential areas from traffic. He cautioned Council to be very careful about the Park Avenue Garden couplet due to cost and effect of increasing traffic onto Bronson Way.

Shinpoch MEMORANDUM DATE: September 18, 1987 TO: Renton City Council FROM: Mike Parness SUBJECT: E & H Properties Rezone Request/North Renton Benefit Assessment District Traffic Study At last Monday's regular Council session, you were asked to set a meeting to act on the E & H Properties request for a rezone in North Renton. Mr. Aramburu, representing the applicant, stated that the issues raised by the Hearing Examiner had been addressed. Specifically he stated that the North Renton Benefit Assessment District Traffic Study had been completed and would be transmitted to city staff for technical review the following morning. Given this input, the Council chose to set a meeting for September 28 to • discuss the proposed rezone. Staff was asked to provide an analysis of the traffic study for consideration at that time. Further, Council directed that all parties of record and those who have attended neighborhood meetings related to traffic issues in North Renton and Kenneydale be notified of the rezone meeting and be given the opportunity to review the new traffic study. After reviewing the preliminary draft of the study submitted by the traffic consultant, William E. Popp Associates (dated September 14, 1987) , the city staff determined that it was not in an acceptable form nor did it contain the information required in the original scope of work. By way of explanation, the scope of work established for the consultant calls for a study which produces a computer model analyzing four land use scenarios which project the long-term (20 year) development of the North Renton Benefit District area. Numerous roadway or arterial linkages were identified for analysis and alternative arterial designs with corresponding costs and benefits were to be developed for each land use scenario. Based on the above findings, a mitigation program would also be developed establishing a fee that would be assessed to new development to help finance the long-term capital needs of the area. 200 Mill Avenue South - Renton, Washington 98055 - (206) 235-2580 • ' ► r Renton City Council September 18, 1987 Page 2 It is not reasonable to expect the consultant to complete this project in the time frame that was available prior to the rezone hearing. In addition, the staff had planned to submit the final draft of this study to the Council and public for hearings and review prior to final acceptance. Given the interest in this project, that process could take three to four months before a final plan can be adopted by resolution. Since last Monday, the city's technical staff has been meeting with Mr. Popp and Mr. MacIsaac (The Transpo Group) . A major rewrite of the study, combining the consultants' reports previously submitted to the city and the present work by William E. Popp and Associates and The Transpo Group, is underway. This report will be available for the Council and public review on Monday, September 21. This report will not represent the final North Renton study. Rather, it will be entitled "North Renton Transportation Study: A Five Year Scenario" . As the title would indicate, this report will provide a short-term view of the traffic impacts that will occur upon development of office and commercial buildings that are known to be on the "drawing boards" in the subject area. The impacts of the two E & H office buildings will be identified and mitigation measures described. The value of the work done to date by Mr. Popp lies in the development of his traffic model and the analysis of this short-term scenario. He will show that _ at least one alternative traffic system can be devised to accommodate the development identified in this scenario. This alternative will show that the transportation system can, with adjustments, accommodate the immediate development proposals while maintaining or enhancing levels of service or traffic flows in North Renton, The city staff assumes that this information, combined with the ERC and Hearing Examiner findings, is sufficient to proceed with the meeting on September 28 to discuss the rezone. The Hearing Examiner will consider the site plan applications the following day. Of course our efforts toward finalizing the complete North Renton Benefit Assessment District Transportation Study will continue. Please contact me if you are uncomfortable with the process, have questions or need additional information.

MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMITTEE WITH REGARD TO KING COUNTY MULTI-SERVICE CENTERS: BOUNDARY DETERMINATIONS AND ALLOCATIONS OF FUNDS.* Deanna Dicomes, Director of South King County MultiService Center, 1505 South 356th Street, Federal Way, Washington, requested approval from Council for continued services provided by the Multi-Service Center to Renton residents who are qualified. The Department of Community Development, who is the primary funding body for community services blockgrant and LIHEAP funds which provides cash grants for purchase of gas, oil, wood, electricity, etc., has requested a boundary be created between the South King County Multi-Service Center and Multi-Service Center of North and East King County. Letters of credibility of South King County Multi-Service Center were filed with Council. Ted Gartner, President of South King County Multi-Service Center Board, 32717 1st Avenue South, Federal Way, Washington, recommended SKCMSC Agency. Councilwoman Mathews extended gratitude to the Park Department,(John Webley & John Morris) for response to the Board of Community Development, which recommended service providers present in-depth proposals. In response to Ms. Dicomes' notification to Council that any decision not rendered tonight will probably not be of value since a meeting is scheduled for tomorrow with the Department of Community Development and their counterparts to make the allocation decision tomorrow, Councilwoman Mathews advised that in contacting the Department of Community Development the week prior, was advised that a determination would not be made until they received Renton's comment. The Department of Community Development will make the ultimate decision with regard to the LIHEAP funds. Councilwoman Mathews stated that the main question with regard to boundary determination is that if the funds are split 50/50 for the MultiService Centers, fifty percent of the low income population outside Seattle is on Renton's southern border, thirty-five percent low income people are on Renton's northern border. If divided 50/50, Renton will be on the Northeast side and Renton residents have historically shared southeast King County facilities. The question raised, is whether the Department of Community Development should establish boundaries based on location of the low income people. 1 . September 14, 1987 Renton City Council Minutes Page 281 recommendation and this recommendation is not precedent setting in any fashion concerning the issue of building location. Normal City processes such as ERC and Site Plan Review will determine the building locations. 5. No filling within the 600' buffer widening to the 1,000' buffer shall occur from January 23 until July 31 or until the fledglings leave the nest, whichever occurs first. The January 23rd date may be changed to later in January or February only upon approval by the Washington State Department of Game. Filling shall be scheduled within the buffer areas so as to prevent operation from January 1 to July 1, if at all possible. Since the scheduling of filling can be accomplished without intruding on these dates, absent unanticipated extraordinary circumstances, the times for fillings shall not be considered precedent setting for later issues concerning building season, if such issues arise. 6. A team consisting of the applicant, City representatives representing the Building and Zoning Department, the Policy Development Department and the Public Works Department, and a representative of the Washington State Department of Ecology shall walk the subject site to determine the applicability of the Shoreline Master Program to all portions of the subject site, including non-contiguous but associated wetlands. 7. The conditions imposed by the ERC where they are not superceded by the conditions imposed by this decision are incorporated by reference. Charles Blumenfeld, legal counsel for First City Equities, claimed that any further requirements to remove acreage from development would result in a "no economic use of the property," and spoke against set back for construction of buildings. Robert Sieh, legal counsel for Rainier and Seattle Chapters of the Audubon Society, 6501 Columbia Center, Seattle, Washington, felt that the screening as outlined in the Committee's report will not adequately protect the rookery, as it is directed primarily at the line of sight. He stated most adverse impacts from grading come from problems of 6,000 to 9,000 truck trips and 114,000 cubic yards of fill, and felt that this decision should not be made without a supplemental EIS. Mary Louise Domik, 13515 Empire Way South, Seattle, Washington, filed petition with Council, relating to the First Cities Equity Development. The petition does not wish to stop development, but rather, to support the Hearing Examiner's Decision and that the City Council support the decision as well.

(Ord. 3725, 5-9-83) Y , • August 18, 1987 OFFICE OF THE HEARING EXAMINER CITY OF RENTON REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION APPLICANT: E & H PROPERTIES File No.: R-016-87 LOCATION: Located between Park Avenue North and Garden Avenue North between North 5th and North 6th Street. SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To rezone approximately 3.3 acres of property from L-1 to B-1 -to allow the future construction of a six-story office building and a 3 story parking garage. SUMMARY OF ACTION: Building and Zoning Department Recommendation: Approval with conditions. BUILDING & ZONING The Building & Zoning Department Report was received DEPARTMENT REPORT: by the Examiner on July 28, 1987. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Building and Zoning Department Report, examining available information on file with the application, and field checking the property and surrounding area, the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: MINUTES The hearing was opened on August 4, 1987 at 9:35 A.M. in the Council Chambers of the Renton Municipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit #1 - Yellow File containing application, proof of posting and publication and other documentation pertinent to this request. Exhibit #2 - Site Plan Exhibit #3 - Vicinity Map Exhibit #4 - Letter of Agreement by Applicant to participate in North Renton traffic study, dated July 1, 1987. Exhibit #5 - Letter of July 29, 1987 regarding re-evaluation of traffic volumes. Exhibit #6 - Aerial photograph showing location of proposed building. Exhibit #7 - Written testimony of Steve McBride. Exhibit #8 - Written testimony of Marjorie Richter. The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by the Zoning Administrator, Don Erickson. Information relayed covered such facts as the rezone covers 3.31 acres of a total 3.62 acre site; the site plan review is currently in the ERC review process; the rezone complies with the Zoning Map and Comprehensive Plan; utilities are provided to the site, storm water retention will be provided on-site; the closest recreational amenities are approximately 1/2 mile west of the site; the full width of the block (approximately 380 ft.) will be rezoned, the alley has been vacated; propane tanks on the adjacent site are to be removed or placed underground at the request of the Fire Department; and Erickson gave a review of comments from various departments. Mr. Erickson also reviewed the mitigated conditions 'of the ERC for this proposal which consisted of the applicant working with the Parks Department to provide recreational amenities on and off-site and applicant's participation in the North Renton Traffic Study. The property is felt to be classified for the requested zone in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and conditions have been met which would support the proposed change; improvements are to be paid for at the rate of $188./trip for future traffic in the area; and Erickson stated it is felt the applicant has just about reached the maximum of what can be done on the site as he r'i E & H PROPERTIES R-016-87 August 18, 1987 Page 2 now plans, and feels a building of approximately 240 - 250,000 sq. ft. is reasonable for this site. There '! will be a parking garage provided to the north of;the building. The Examiner questioned the number of people per office and the subsequent impacts due to traffic. Erickson stated a transportation system is being recommended with this proposal to encourage other means of commute to alleviate street traffic as well as that utilizing the parking garage to be provided on-site. With the on-going changes in the area, and after reviewing staff recommendations, the Zoning Administrator recommended approval with the applicant being required to meet the conditions set out by the ERC prior to the issuance of any occupancy permits; the applicant will work with Paccar to relocate or place underground the two propane tanks located 150 ft. east of the site. Calling for testimony in support of the proposal from the applicant or their representative, responding j was Roger Blaylock, 10717 N.E. 4th, Suite #9. Bellevue, Washington 98004. Mr. Blaylock advised the site plan for this proposal will be submitted within 30 - 45 days which will address traffic issues specific to this proposal and the general area; the applicant is providing a large recreational facility to address on-site needs as well as participation by the applicant in the partial funding of equipment for the newly proposed Renton Community Center. Regarding traffic, Blaylock stated the applicant is funding the traffic study for the North Renton area with the City directing.the study through William Popp. The Examiner questioned if this was not retroactive planning if the traffic scenario for the area is found to show the streets can not handle the additional traffic due to the rezone. Mr. Blaylock stated there has been a lot of study put into the matter of area traffic and the applicant has committed to spending one million dollars for improvements in the area of traffic mitigation thereby referring him to a letter of July 29, 1987 he said contained this commitment. He also stated there is a separate study prepared for the Garden Plaza project and the Park Plaza facility with both studies being reviewed by the ERC; the specific project improvements being evaluated by Transpo Group focus on intersections and street widening which will be further reviewed at the site plan stage; the site will be under a direct lease to Boeing for a period of 10 years; feels the building is supporting the industrial focus of the area; and stated public changes in the area include the widening of Garden Avenue with major improvements, major access, new water lines, landscaping and improvements to traffic conditions on South Park Avenue. Continuing, Mr. Blaylock stated it is the applicant's intent to place a ring of upgraded office structures around the Boeing facility; believes they are taking an industrial area and revitalizing it by creating a commercial ring around the manufacturing area thereby buffering it from the residential area. He concluded testimony stating it is felt because the applicant has committed in writing to participate in the traffic improvements they are vested with conditions if the rezone is approved. He stipulated the applicant would commit to the Garden Plaza Building being 245,850 sq. ft. in restrictive covenants as long as any modifications by the Examiner or the City Council for recreational facilities, etc. would be • in excess of that space. Wishing to question the proposal was Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton, Wa. 98055. Ms. Richter said as a homeowner in the area she has watched the progress of the area; 85% of the traffic in the area is from the Boeing facilities; the value of housing in the residential area around Boeing has decreased over the last 15 years due to the traffic volumes; the hours of 2:30 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. are the peak traffic hours which disagrees with the William Popp study setting out peak hours of traffic as 3:30 P.M. to 4:30 P.M., with cross streets blocked and emergency vehicles finding it difficult to maneuver in that area. She said the noise, vulgar language from upset drivers, litter, fumes, stress and pollution are only some of the problems in this area due to the traffic - doors and windows must be kept closed during peak hours, alleys are used by some of the traffic, and pedestrian and vehicle accidents are prevalent. She questioned the traffic studies that have been made in the North Renton area; asked for traffic relief in that area, and invited those compiling the traffic information to view the problem from her home. it Also questioning the proposal was Warren Vaupel; 1402 North Second, Renton, Washington 98055. Mr. Vaupel stated as a past employee of Boeing he is aware when they take over a building under lease conditions they utilize all available parking areas in adjacent companies around them, in addition to their own. He noted at some point in time Boeing may no longer be the occupant of the building and when that comes about he would like to see due consideration given to the allocation of parking areas another company would not be able to use. Steve McBride, 1220 No, 5th, Renton, Washington 98055. Mr. McBride is the co-owner of Custom Cabinet Sales. He presented his written testimony as Exhibit #7. Mr. McBride's business is located at North 5th and Garden, adjacent to the proposed rezone site; addressed the surrounding property owners impacts from this project and referred to the buildings on the east and west side of Park Avenue; the lack of buffers from this proposal and the fact his, and other light manufacturing properties will become an L-1 island surrounded by B-1 property. He reviewed the traffic impacts to be felt; the inability of his business to use street parking for customers, the difficulty of delivery at his shop by suppliers; and the fact the Garden Avenue access to the proposed parking garage will be within 100 ft. of the main entrance to his business, with the other entrance to the parking garage being a joint • E & H PROPERTIES R-016-87 August 18, 1987 Page 3 occupancy driveway which was provided as a pipestem access to another lot. He expressed concern • over the impact of the 900-1300 vehicles proposed to use the small driveway; the noise, pollution, possible loss of customers to his business due to insufficient parking; and unsafe conditions that would surrounding his business from additional vehicular and pedestrian traffic. McBride concluded suggesting the City further investigate the incompatibility of the two zones in that area, and requested rejection of the proposal until all problems have been addressed so they can represent all citizens equally. Speaking further to this project was Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, Washington 98057. Mrs. Vaupel expressed concern over the proposal and its impacts on surrounding properties, residential as well as business; and presented steps she thought should be followed by the City and developer to give traffic relief to the area; reviewed what she believed to be the safety concerns, noise, pollution, and feels the developers and City should provide more mitigating measures to better protect the daily lives of all residents in the area. She also expressed concern regarding enforcement by the Police Department, emergency access and response time, and possible leaks from the propane tanks located on the Paccar property. She concluded with the presentation of a letter from a property owner unable to attend the hearing, Mary Ellen Hamblin, 13025 - 138th S.E., Renton, Washington 98056. Testifying further was Terry Tedder, 1220 North 5th Street, Renton, Washington 98055 who is the co- owner of Custom Cabinet Sales. Mr. Tedder questioned the Zoning Administrator about the pipestem access and wondered if that road has been addressed regarding its use by the new facility as access to the parking structure. Mr. Erickson replied "no" but it would come up at the site plan process, and if an easement has been put aside that easement would have to be respected; Tedder said they are concerned about the possibility his business will be unable to use the pipestem for their loading and unloading; expressed concern with the aesthetics of the proposed building and feels there will come a time the City may require him to upgrade his facility to conform to the new structure. He does not feel they should be subjected to the increase in traffic that will result from this proposal. He wanted the record to reflect he and his business partner are in opposition to this proposal. Testifying for the Traffic Engineering Department, City of Renton, was Gary Norris. Mr. Norris referred to the two traffic reports that have been prepared for this proposal. One report was done for the 212,000 sq. ft. Garden Plaza proposal and an update for a 245,000 sq. ft. office complex as a part of the Park Plaza which is north of this site. Concerns have always been over the traffic circulation in the North Renton area and the City has been working with the applicant to fund a North Renton Benefit Study. They are trying to define the ability of this area to accommodate future traffic levels and identify specific improvements necessary to accommodate future development by this applicant and potential developers in the area. The traffic study completed for Garden Plaza was to identify the ' specific impacts of this site onto the adjacent arterial, which it did. From that, specific improvements were noted which were necessary to accommodate the site's access to the arterial. He stated based upon that report, specific needs were identified to accommodate the proposed development. He also referenced a study done by the Transpo Group for the Park Plaza which identified the expansion of the building to 245,000 sq. ft.; the traffic information is not complete for the overall area as yet; he understands there is an overall proposed 700,000 sq. ft. of development for this general area by this applicant. Mr. Norris, commenting on regional traffic stated those impacts will be addressed in the North Renton Traffic Study; he said development in the area should be utilized by the City to assist in the definition of an arterial system that would accommodate the needs of the City and establish barriers between residential neighborhoods, commercial areas and arterial systems. In conclusion, Mr. Norris reviewed the fees from developers and how they will be used to mitigate the traffic impacts. He had no further comments at this time. Wishing to testify was Bruce Wicks, 200 Garden Avenue North, Renton, Washington 98055. Concern was expressed by Mr. Wicks over traffic impacts to his area, safety of the children in the area; would favor a diverter of some sort at Third Street with the possible re-routing of some of the traffic; and wishes to have the City take a complete look at the impacts to Garden Avenue'with regard to traffic, pollution, and safety of area children. Mr. Blaylock requested a ten minute recess to review the two traffic reports presented and prepare for presentation. Recess was called at 11:30 A.M. The hearing re-opened at 11:45 A.M. with Mr. Blaylock presenting some general comments stating the applicant is putting together a Transportation Management Plan; feels the two issues to be addressed will be the project's specific impacts which will be evaluated in detail in the Site Plan and the extension of the Comprehensive Plan effort with regard to a limited traffic study area and a method for implementing the improvements. He introduced William Popp, 1309 - 114th Ave. S.E., Suite 301, Bellevue, Washington 98004. Mr. Popp addressed the North Renton Transportation Study covering the area of I-405 on the east, 44th on the north, Lake Washington to the west and the Cedar River on the S.E., returning to I-405. He stated this is a long- range study and they are looking at several forecast land use scenarios for the area. He said he was not sure the traffic information is necessary for the rezone request as they have identified the project impacts and identified mitigation measures for those impacts. He said the study is expected to be E & H PROPERTIES R-016-87 August 18, 1987 Page 4 complete approximately August 31, 1987. Speaking further to the traffic issue was Jim MacIsaac, Transpo Group, 14715 Bellevue-Redmond Road, Suite #100, Bellevue. Washington 98007, who advised his firm was hired to look at the short and long terms of traffic impacts to the year 1989; traffic operations in the Garden and Park Avenue corridor were looked at and the projected traffic count for this new 245,000 sq. ft. proposal would create approximately 3000 vehicle trips per day with 650 occurring during the P.M. peak hour which he referred to as 3:30 - 4:30 P.M. He said he is trying to get an idea from Boeing just what hours the workers in this new complex will work which may extend the end of the P.M. peak hour. Mr. MacIsaac reviewed the intersections in the area that may be impacted by the traffic and stated mitigated measures that could be considered could include the channelization of Third and Garden and possible access off Park Avenue. He concluded stating he feels individual traffic impacts from either of the two projects will be less than 5%. Final comments by Mr. Blaylock referenced funds necessary to make the mitigations workable; adjacent off-site improvements that are not included in the area-wide improvements but are a part of the project and are without cost to the City; believes the rezone is warranted, there has been significant change to the area, the request is timely, and the criteria for a rezone has been met. The Zoning Administrator in closing comments stated the parking garage is permitted in the L-1 zone and not attributed directly to the B-1 zone; the City's new hazardous substances ordinances only applies to new construction and not applicable to tanks in existence at the time the ordinance was passed; feels criteria for rezone has been met and the applicant should have the right to pursue the project noting SEPA allows the phasing of ERC reviews and suggests if a future development is known it should be taken into consideration, which is what they are doing. 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 12:15 P.M. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant, E & H Properties, filed a request for approval of a rezone of approximately 3.3 acres of property from L-1 (Light Industrial) to B-1 (Business/Commercial). 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 Declaration of Non-Significance (DNS) for the subject proposal. 4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. 5. The subject site is located between Park Avenue North and Garden Avenue North, between North 5th Street and North 6th Street. 6. The site is part of the original townsite forthe City of Renton. The site received its initial zoning with the original adoption of the City of Renton's Zoning Ordinance. 7. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of;heavy industrial or commercial uses, but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. 8. The proposed rezone actually encompasses a small portion of property already zoned B-1, therefore, acreage including that portion, totals approximately 3.62 acres as announced in various published materials. Also included in the rezone is a small pipestem corresponding with an easement shared between the applicant and a neighboring property located on the southeast corner of the block. 9. Zoning in the vicinity is a mix of H-1 (Heavy Industry), L-1 (Light Industry), B-1 and R-4 (High Density Multiple Family) and R-2 (Duplex Residential). An H-1 district is located immediately east of the subject site and continues north and generally encompasses Pacific Car and Foundry properties and Boeing properties in this vicinity. The L-1 district in which the subject site is located begins generally at North 6th and runs south to North 4th, and fronts generally upon Garden North. E & H PROPERTIES R-016-87 August 18, 1987 Page 5 10. A corridor of B-1 zoning, the type requested in this case, runs the length of Park Avenue, starting just north of North 6th Street and continuing south to Bronson Way where it enters the Sunset B-1 district. Both west and east of the B-1 district is an R-4 district generally comprised of older single family homes. A similarly developed district, that is, predominantly single family homes, is the R-2 district located west and east of Park and south of North 4th Street. 11. While the applicant has proposed the construction of an office building if the site were to be reclassified, nothing would bind the applicant to that proposal. The applicant submitted an aerial photograph which merely illustrated the type of building which could be located on the site. 12. There were two traffic reports submitted which projected the potential traffic which could be generated by office buildings on the subject site. These reports each dealt with a different size building, demonstrating that the building was still in its formative stage. One report had the building containing approximately 212,000 sq. ft., while the second report had a building containing approximately 239,000 sq. ft. As late as July 29, 1987 the applicant indicated the building was a third size - 245,850 sq. ft. No traffic analysis was predicated upon this scenario. 13. There have been two separate traffic reports which deal with traffic generated from the subject site. Both reports are predicated upon the construction of an office building. One report is based upon a smaller building, approximately 212,000 sq. ft. with all parking concentrated near the building. Projected traffic would be approximately 2,608 vehicle trips per day with approximately 573 of those trips occurring during the P.M. peak. The Level of Service (LOS) projections show certain intersections, principally North 6th and Garden, with an LOS of E which translates to intolerable delays and poor traffic conditions for an extended period. The Lake Washington/Park/Garden intersection which is already at LOS of F, which is the worst case in which demands exceeds capacity with severe congestion and delay, would have to handle an additional 7% load. 14. The second traffic report was prepared principally for a separate site and project. It does also discuss the proposal for the subject site which had, at that time, been increased to approximately 239,000 sq. ft. In this second scenario the subject site would be expected to generate 2,938 trips per day, with a P.M. peak of approximately 646 trips. This report redistributes some of the subject site's projected traffic by utilizing a redistribution of parking. Since it is based upon a proposed but still formative proposal, that is one which has not been reviewed or approved, the projections are purely speculative. The LOS of D projected with this redistribution could well approach LOS F, at least it would still be intolerable at LOS E. No traffic report discussed the latest figures for an approximately 245,000 sq. ft. building. 15. The applicant's traffic engineer indicated that the potential for a decreased level of service would be offset by an extended P.M. peak. That is, one could expect a longer or extended evening rush hour. The City's Traffic Engineer has not accepted either study as definitive, but simply as working documents. The shifting nature of the project's size, scope, parking relationship, and its relationship to nearby projects has made estimates all the more unreliable. These two studies separate the traffic impacts of the subject site and those of the proposed associated project of the applicant. Each details the project and backgrounds but totals do not appear to be applied clearly to the intersections. Each report also ignores traffic impacts on residential areas presupposing that that information will be forthcoming in the areawide study, and focuses analysis on Garden and Park intersections north of No. 3rd. 16. In addition, testimony from neighboring business owners as well as nearby residents cast some doubt on a methodology which calculates LOS based upon traffic numbers and street and intersection widths (Webster Method utilizing optimum cycles). A truer picture is better reflected by reality. The record reflects that backups and delays occur over an extended time frame beginning most days at approximately 3:00 to 3:30 P.M. and extending to 6:00 P.M. Intersections are blocked, left turns nearly impossible, and pedestrian passage risky at best. Insurance rates for residents are higher reflecting the additional traffic which passes through the neighborhood. This information is not conveyed in calculations based upon ITE Manuals but could be reflected in accident rates. 17. Traffic accident rates for nearby intersections for the three years 1984 to 1986 are included in the traffic reports. The intersection of N. 3rd/Park had 13, 17 and 12 accidents in the three years; N. 4th/Park had 8, 16 and 13 accidents in that time frame; N. 6th/Park had 3, 5 and 3; and N. 3rd and Garden had 3, 3 and 6 accidents. 18. Boeing has in the past and with their expansions now projected, could again, increase occupancy. What this means is that Boeing has generally had an employee-to-floor area ratio considerably higher than normal occupancies. All the projections are based upon ordinary occupancy loads. Any increase, even one or two employees per office unit, could reasonably be expected to drive the traffic counts even further upward. E & H PROPERTIES R-016-87 August 18, 1987 Page 6 19. The City is in the midst of preparing a traffic study for North Renton which will be completed within the next month or so. It will be an overall study projecting traffic impacts not only in the immediate vicinity but upon the now heavily affected residential community surrounding the Boeing complex. The study has been variously called the North Renton Areawide Traffic Mitigation Study, the North Renton Traffic Study and the North Renton Areawide Traffic Study. 20. A number of smaller light industrial uses are located in the vicinity of the subject site including some smaller fabricators, major automobile repair uses and the cabinet shop immediately adjacent to the subject site. These uses are generally defined as L-1 uses. 21. While the applicant has indicated a willingness to participate in traffic improvements, no documents exist with the contractual terms clearly spelled out. The commitments appear in a series of correspondence, with each indicating a figure subject to further confirmation and negotiation. Since the numbers are related in some fashion to traffic counts which are again related to building size, which is then related to potential occupancy load and building size keeps changing upward - well, the numbers and dollars are clearly conjectural. 22. Air pollution from the additional cars was not considered in any of the documentation. Testimony indicated that the area may be a non-attainment area, but there was no response to the allegation. This office can make no Finding regarding the matter. It is obvious that an additional 2,000 to 4,000 trips per day would increase the air pollution level. Residents indicated that soot from automobile exhaust stains homes, furnishings and clothing. 23. A Propane tank complex is located approximately 150 feet from the subject site. The Building and Zoning Department and the Fire Department both expressed concern regarding the possible concentration of people which could be located near the propane complex which development of a commercial office building could allow. A rupture could have explosive consequences. CONCLUSIONS 1. The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest, that it will not impair the public health, safety and welfare and in addition, complies with at least one of the criteria found in Section 4-3010, which provides in part that: a. The subject site has not been considered in a previous area-wide rezone or land use analysis; or • b. The subject site is potentially designated for the new classification per the Comprehensive Plan; or c. There has been a material and substantial change in the area in which the subject site is located since the last rezoning of the property or area. The requested classification is premature pending the City of Renton Traffic study, and should not be approved at this time. 2. Besides timeliness, there are other issues which would appear to be deserving of more study, such as issues relating to the Comprehensive Plan, the loss of supportive low key Light Industrial services or at least land suitable for such uses, the general availability of suitable land for B-1 and L-1 uses, and the obvious traffic implications of converting low traffic generating Light Industrial uses and property to high traffic generating business and commercial uses. 3. Staff has suggested that this rezone would avoid strip commercial development along the Park Avenue corridor and that such an outcome is supported by the Comprehensive Plan. While the rezone would create almost an entire block of B-1 zoning, there is nothing in the recommendations of staff to present the strip commercial uses they indicate would be prevented by the rezone. Nothing prevents the applicant from developing a fast food drive-up restaurant on one corner, a mini-mart gasoline station on another and other strip uses along the remaining right-of-way. Plans change, and simply because the applicant has indicated or even submitted plans for an office building, does not commit the property to that outcome. • 4. It is incorrect to ignore the precedent involved in eliminating, without discussion or analysis, L- I zoning. L-1 zoning is a step down from the H-1 zoning which predominates in the area. It serves a legitimate and valid purpose. It serves as a buffer between heavy industrial processes and less intense commercial and business uses. It is not only a buffer between the more intense H-1 and the less compatible commercial use, but it provides space for support industries such as light fabrication, machining, etc. for the Boeing complex without driving these light industrial uses to the higher rent Manufacturing Park zones. It also provides a reasonable location for • E & H PROPERTIES R-016-87 August 18, 1987 Page 7 such uses as the neighboring cabinet shop which would be left an isolated parcel of L-1 zoning next to a B-1 zone. As the propane situation points out, the less dense employee'base of either L-1 or H-1 uses serves as a buffer from the more inherent dangers associated with manufacturing operations. Eliminating the transitional buffer subjects the greater number of commercial employees to these potential manufacturing dangers. While obviously any explosion could result in loss of life, the numbers would be substantially less if the site were to retain its current zoning. In addition to providing quiet places for residential development, this segregation of potentially dangerous uses from large numbers of people was another reason zoning was initially enacted. Actually this situation should be explored apart from this rezone request. 5. As indicated, not only is there limited discussion of the implications of the L-1 loss, but also limited discussion of what would become of the rather isolated island of L-1 zoning to the south between Garden and Park. The transition created is awkward, and the transition generally utilized between incompatible zones is absent. 6. As a matter of timeliness, the applicant had not at the time of this public hearing completed submission of a site plan. And, while a site plan is not required to consider a rezone, it is indicative of the fact that time probably, and more appropriately, properly remains before a decision in this matter must be made. The traffic engineer reported that the traffic report'for this proposal is still incomplete. The applicant has already modified the plans in three stages from approximately 212,000 sq. ft. to 245,000 sq. ft., is still working on the traffic data, and the City's overall analysis of traffic for this congested area is still being worked on. The record would appear to indicate that the City's North Renton Traffic Study is less than a month from completion. Therefore the question is: Why rush to judgment when the applicant has not finalized his building plans, his traffic study for the site is still incomplete, and the City's entire analysis of this area's transportation needs is only 3 weeks from completion? 7. These unanswered questions and project size fluctuations clearly indicate why a rezone should be judged on its own merits and not on some illustrative or tentative proposal, unless, of course, it is clearly a contract rezone which contains binding contractual provisions. What this means is that a rezone analysis should reflect the worst case scenario since an applicant, once zoning is in place, is entitled (subject to SEPA review) to construct the maximum project with the greatest density. Therefore, one has to know, or should know, what the maximum impacts could be before approving such a request. 8. There is occasional confusion regarding this fact. Some people maintain that a rezone is merely a change in a designation on a map and 'real' review is only necessary when a proposal is forthcoming. That is not planning, that is an absence of planning. If an area cannot support the type of development which a new zoning category would permit, then the zoning is either inappropriate or premature. In either case, simply indicating that it is merely a map change is a gross understatement. Anyone who has dealt with a property owner's vested right to pursue a development predicated on a simple map designation can attest to the fact that it is more than a relabeling of a parcel on a zoning map. The rezone carries with it certain entitlements which cannot be ignored. The public and the decisionmakers need all the information which can be accumulated prior to making an almost irrevocable decision. 9. The statement made many times that subsequent review, whether site plan, platting or special permit, will catch any loose ends is, if anything, retroactive or reactive planning but it certainly is not anticipatory planning (admittedly redundant but it stresses the point that planning should precede approval). If a site does not have the potential being requested then that fact should be discovered early in the process, not after the zoning has been granted. The statement in the staff report that "Staff believes that there may be sufficient opportunities at the Site Plan Review stage for the B-1 Zone to address these issues if they occur in that zone" demonstrates the inconclusiveness of reactive planning. 10. The Recommendation to the City Council is that they wait for additional information before vesting in the subject site the B-1 zoning potentials requested. A neighbor in the vicinity has clearly enunciated the arguments in favor of waiting the few additional weeks before making any final determination in this matter. The neighbor states: "I note that an overall traffic study will not be available until after your deliberations---I question that you can sincerely exercise your professional judgment without such a document." 11. While the letter makes other statements generally opposing the project, the quoted line is on target and is undeniably correct. While the City is preparing a major statement on what they can do and whether they can do anything for the traffic in the area, they are being asked to commit to even more traffic. The information now being prepared should be invaluable in „ 1 E & H PROPERTIES R-016-87 August 18, 1987 Page 8 making any determination which increases the traffic in an area already greatly burdened by traffic. To ignore the potential information would impair a professional determination, and no one should expect that. While the applicant is impatient to get on with his project, the matter of a few additional weeks should not impede a project which has not finalized its site plans yet. In addition, the City should not be asked to make a final determination at this time, while the applicant has already modified his own plans for the project more than once and is still reworking the proposal. It would appear both parties can utilize the additional time - - the City to establish a plan and methodology for dealing with traffic in the area, and the applicant to complete his site plan design. 12. While the applicant may or may not finalize his plans during the pendency of this matter, the issue of the North Renton traffic analysis remains. This decisionmaker cannot offer the City Council, the ultimate decisionmaker, a recommendation when the best information regarding traffic is still forthcoming. The money proffered by the applicant does not solve any problems. Nor is there any definitive contract regarding funds. While in some cases the money might prevent some problems from getting worse, and there are problems, the funds will not solve some of the problems. The only remedy presented to far is hardly a remedy - it is an extension of the PM rush hour. This expansion of the rush hour is not something elaborated upon in the analysis, but it becomes a major concern especially when the residential community nearby already suffers traffic during an already lengthy peak hour time frame. What is in fact a bad situation does not get worse in terms of overall congestion, it simply extends the congestion to earlier in the afternoon and later into the pevening. One observation regarding one of the traffic reports, a minor issue but irritating nonetheless, is the use of pluses and minuses to demonstrate LOS. Traffic engineering jargon does not recognize the use of pluses and minuses since the LOS ratings are already subjective enough - the use appears little more than an effort to blur distinctions. The traffic situation in the area is bad - congestion is bad or intolerable. 13. Another issue merely touched upon but one which has had and could continue to have an affect on traffic is Boeing's tendency to make use of all available floor space for employees, thereby increasing the occupancy load of buildings (this has nothing to do with legal occupancy loads related to fire protection). While indications are increased occupancy will not be the case, there is really nothing to prevent it, other than a possible surge in Airbus sales. Boeing could simply up the occupancy of the buildings if the pressure were created to do so. While not intended or proposed, it is one of the scenarios that should receive attention. Boeing has tended to have one of the higher, if not highest, occupancy ratios for office workers, which explains the larger parking lots and higher traffic impacts which have accompanied many Boeing proposals. • 14. While the applicant might disagree with any delay, no one can honestly state that it would be clearly unreasonable, clearly erroneous or 'even arbitrary and capricious to wait the additional time necessary for the City's traffic studies to be completed. The applicant's request is a precursor to other large proposals which are very much interrelated and which it is hoped the traffic study would analyze. While not invoking SEPA, (although ignoring the forthcoming traffic analysis could be sufficient error to require a remand to the ERC) SEPA can certainly provide guidance as to interrelated projects. These interrelated projects simply cannot be ignored. The cumulative impacts should be analyzed, and the rezone probably should have been contractual with specific measures identified and agreed to in detailed writings. 15. This office believes that an EIS probably should have been prepared for this project and its related proposal(s), and that the absence of such a document has deprived the City Council of invaluable information for reaching a decision on this rezone, and has similarly deprived other public officials of information necessary in the review of other related proposals. The scope of this and related projects is approximately one half million sq. ft. of office space. It would appear that such development could have "more than a moderate impact on the quality of the environment.” After all, the City prepared such a document for Gene Coulon Park and it only impacts traffic on weekends, while its other impacts would generally be conceived of as. positive. 16. There is no telling what secondary impacts might be encouraged by these interrelated office projects and actions. A full analysis could explain the loss of L-1 zoning, the impact of the employee population on other city services such as recreational facilities, and the potential affect on housing from an increase in the employment base. - ! E & H PROPERTIES R-016-87 August 18, 1987 Page 9 17. A number of issues have presented themselves in this review and none of them were clearly answered in the affirmative. Staff characterized the request as "not inappropriate" which is not a ringing endorsement. At a minimum, therefore, the recommendation is that the City Council should await the outcome of the City's own traffic studies before approving this rezone. At the maximum, a variety of information on this and its related proposals should be submitted for review by the decisionmakers. As SEPA states: "The SEPA process shall be integrated with agency activities at the earliest possible time to ensure that planning and decisions reflect environmental values, to avoid delays later in the process, and to seek to resolve potential problems." (WAC 197-11-055(1)). "Proposals or parts of proposals that are related to each other closely enough to be, in effect, a single course of action shall be evaluated in the same environmental document." (WAC 197-11-060(3)(b)). "A proposal's effects include direct and indirect impacts caused by a proposal. Impacts include those effects resulting from growth • caused by a proposal, as well as the likelihood that the present proposal will serve as a precedent for future actions. For example, adoption of a zoning ordinance will encourage or tend to cause particular types of projects..." (WAC 197-11-060(4)(d)). 18. Under the circumstances this office believes that the failure to await the outcome of the North Renton Traffic Study and the failure to answer some of the other questions regarding the precedent of the proposed rezone such as loss of limited L-1 zoning, air pollution from increased traffic, etc., constitute a substantial error in fact and, therefore, provide sufficient justification to remand the matter back to the ERC for reconsideration of its environmental determination. (Section 4-2822(D)). This office would recommend that the City Council seriously consider that option. RECOMMENDATION The City Council should delay action on the request pending the outcome of the North Renton Traffic Study. The City Council may want to consider remanding the matter back to the ERC for the preparation of supplemental environmental information regarding the other issues raised herein.

Warren, City Attorney Renton Record-Chronicle Pursuant to Title IV, Section 3015 of the City's Code, request for reconsideration must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 P.M. September 1, 1987. Any aggrieved person feeling that the decision of the Examiner is based on erroneous procedure, errors of law or fact, error in judgment, or the discovery of new evidence which could not be reasonably available at the prior hearing may make a written request for a review by the.Examiner within fourteen (14) days from the date of the Examiner's decision. This request shall set forth the specific errors relied upon by such appellant, and the Examiner may, after review of the record, take further action as he deems proper. An appeal to the City Council is governed by Title IV, Section 3016, which requires that such appeal be filed with the City Clerk, accompanying a filing fee of $75.00 and meeting other specified requirements. Copies of this ordinance are available for inspection or purchase in the Finance ;I Department, first floor of City Hall. 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. !

EUSTIS 505 MADISON STREET SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98104 (206) 625-9515 September 14, 1987 Ms. Barbara Y. Shinpoch, Mayor City of Renton 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, WA 98055 Honorable City Council City of Renton 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, WA 98055 Re: Rezone for E & H Properties File No. R-016087 Dear Mayor Shinpoch and Council Members: This office represents E & H Properties, the proponent of the above-entitled rezone. On February 17, 1987, E & H filed a rezone request to rezone some 3 . 3 acres of property in the block between Park Avenue North and Garden Avenue North between North 5th and North 6th Street from Light Industrial (L-1 ) to Business ( B-1) . It is the intention of E & H to construct a 7-story, 245, 000 sq. ft. office building plus a 4-story ( approximately 1023 spaces) parking garage. The building has been pre-leased to the Boeing Company to accommodate office activities, much of which will be transferred from adjoining buildings in the Boeing Commerical Airplane Division. The rezone proposal was given a determination of non-significance by the City on condition that the applicant provide "sufficient recreational and office user amenities" to address the lack of such facilities on the site. Secondly, that the applicant participate in a study to determine present and future traffic needs in the north Renton area. The rezone request also was approved by City staff with the additional condition that any mitigating conditions of the Environmental Review Committee be complied with and that the applicant work with PacCar to relocate two large propane storage tanks located near the site. September 14, 1987 Page Two The rezone matter was then referred under the terms of the zoning code to the Renton Hearing Examiner who held a hearing on August 4, 1987. The Hearing Examiner rendered his decision on August 18, 1987. The decision is somewhat unusual because the examiner did not recommend either approval or denial of the rezone, but rather made two recommendations to the Council. The first was that the Council "should delay action on the request pending the outcome of north Renton traffic study. " The second request was that the Council "may want to consider remanding the matter back to the ERC for the preparation of supplemental environmental information regarding the other issues raised herein. " Because this proposal also involves the construction of a large office building in a B-1 zone, that applicant' s specific proposal for the office building must also receive site plan approval under the Zoning Code. As is appropriate, the site plan review is ongoing and the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) issued a mitigated DNS for site plan approval for the applicant ' s Garden Plaza development in August. A public hearing on the proposal is scheduled to be held by the Hearing Examiner on the site plan on September 29. After initially reviewing the decision of the Hearing Examiner on our rezone request, it was determined to file an appeal to the Council from that decision. However, on further reflection it has become clear that the Examiner has not made a definitive recommendation of approval or denial, but has made certain recommendations to the Council on which the Council must exercise its own wisdom and discretion. Because of this, we believe the appeal is not appropriate and by this letter withdraw the same. With the withdrawal of the appeal, it is appropriate for the Council to consider the rezone matter under the terms of its ordinary rules and procedures. We respectfully request that the Council process this matter in its usual fashion, but as expeditiously as possible for several reasons. First, this rezone has now been pending for about seven months and it is appropriate to bring this matter to a conclusion. Secondly, the tenant of the building is in need of this space as soon as possible, but no later than July 1 of next year. Thirdly, the proposal now before the Council is just a rezone, with details of such items as traffic mitigation scheduled for site plan review. Finally, the hearing on the site plan for this project is scheduled for September 29 , and the Hearing Examiner should know the decision of the Council on the rezone. In making our request , we recognize the Examiner has raised several questions concerning the building and has suggested the September 14, 1987 Page Three appropriateness of the gathering of additional information. We believe we can answer the Examiner ' s questions to the satisfaction of the Council within a brief period, particularly as it relates to traffic concerns. We will also demonstrate that the conditions established for the rezone by Staff have been fully met. We also note that many of the detailed questions concerning the building and its impacts on the surrounding area will be considered in their appropriate fashion in site plan approval, which is upcoming on September 29. Accordingly, we respectfully request the Council to adopt the following procedure for our rezone request : 1. Either tonight or at the Council meeting scheduled for Septemer 21, 1987 have a first reading of a proposed ordinance approving this rezone request. We have taken the liberty of preparing a proposed ordinance and it is attached to this letter. 2 . Prior to Thursday, September 17, 1987, we will prepare and distribute to the Council for inclusion in their packets, our responses to several of the questions raised by the Hearing Examiner . In particular , we will supply the results of the North Renton Traffic Study as the Examiner requested the Council have before it makes its decision. Indeed these results were delivered to City Staff today. We will also prepare suitable modifications to the findings of the Examiner which would support the rezone request . 3. We would request that at the Council meeting on September 21 that the rezone request be given its first and/or second readings. At that time we will stand ready to make additional submission or to answer questions of the Council concerning this request. 4. At the Council meeting scheduled for either September 21 or 28, that the Council take final action on the rezone to allow for a comprehensive review of the site plan scheduled for September 29. We believe the rezone request is in the public interest and are ready, willing and able to comply with all appropriate mitigation measures to assure that this project does not unduly and unnecessarily result in harm to the neighborhood in which it resides. Also attached hereto is a letter from our bank indicating our financial ability to comply with appropriate traffic mitigation measures. E&H Properties thanks the Council in advance for its consideration of our views. I will attend the Council meeting September 14, 1987 Page Four on September 14, 1987 to answer any additional questions the Council may have concerning these matters. PSi ere y yo s, J.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, CHANGING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN PROPERTIES WITHIN THE CITY OF RENTON FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION DISTRICT (L-1 ) TO BUSINESS (B-1 ) (R-016-87 E&H PROPERTIES) WHEREAS under Chapter 7, Title IV (Building Regulations) of Ordinance No. 1628 known as the "Code of General Ordinances of the City of Renton" , as amended and the maps and reports adopted in conjunction therewith, the property hereinbelow described has heretofore been zoned as Light Industrial Classification District (L-1 ) ; and WHEREAS a proper petition for change of zone classification of said property has been filed with the Building and Zoning Department on or about February 17, 1987 which petition was duly referred to the Hearing)Examiner for investigation, study and public hearing, and a public hearing having been held thereon on or about August 4, 1987, and said matter having been duly considered by the Hearing Examiner and said zoning request being in conformity with the City' s Comprehensive Plan, as amended, and the City Council having duly considered all matters relevant thereto, and all parties having been heard appearing in support thereof or in opposition thereto, NOW THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: r SECTION I : The following described property in the City of Renton is hereby rezoned to Business District (B-1 ) as hereinbelow specified; subject to the findings, conclusions and decision dated September , 1987 ; the Building and Zoning Director is hereby authorized and directed to change the maps of the Zoning Ordinance, as amended, to evidence said rezoning, to-wit : . S See Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. ( Said property being located between Park Avenue North and Garden Avenue North between North 5th and North 6th Streets) SECTION II : This Ordinance shall be effective upon its passage, approval and five days after its publication. PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL this day of September , 1987. Maxine E. Motor, City Clerk APPROVED this day of September, 1987 . Barbara Shinpoch, Mayor Approved as to form: Lawrence J. Warren, City Attorney Date of Publication: Marge 1—�_=iter and Versie Vaupel TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS: 1. Re-open North 4th at Sunset Highway from Park Ave to Sunset • 2. Change N. 4th from one-way west to two ways, both east and east 3. Restrict by signs or diverters all peak-hour traffic from the already congested residential area from south of 4th on Garden and Meadow, i.e. , no peak hour traffic (except local residential or business) from entering Garden, Meadow or Factory, from 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm. The people west of Park should have some input as to their traffic- pattern desires. 4. Reopen Houser Way N. , at N. 4th 5. Reopen Logan from N. 6th to exit north of the buildings, to have direct or more direct access to 1-405, not onto Lake Washington Blvd. However, those going south now parked south of Logan-Boeing complex, should be allowed to exit onto Logan. At very least, Boeing-generated traffic going east or north should be required to enter and exit the company facilities onto Logan going out to the north through the c. 'slex, not around the Logan-Boeing complex. Ever since the city allowe• Boeing to close—off Logan and PACCAR to close off Houser way (Logan at 6th and Houser at 4th) , the squeeze has been toward the center and into the residential areas. $128K vs. $105K paid by Boeing; Park Ave. Interwoven into the street vacation for Boeing's benefit was a "temporary" trade-off of a portion of Park, estimated value of approx. $23K, with the city to allow the Park Ave portion to revert to Boeing in 20 years if Park is not widened. If the city allowed the lesser cost of the Logan Ave vacation of $105K (vs. 128K) , why should the property revert to Boeing ever? 6. BN tracks at eastern edge of the N Renton area could some day be used as rapid transit. 7. Use out-of-the area parking lots for both Metro and for Boeing-sponsored shuttle buses. 8. All construction haulings and any subsequent haulings as well as truck de- liver#ies mist be diverted away from neighborhoods directly onto I-405 at the exit just immediately north of Boeing's large parking lot. 9. Add another I-405 Finp and exit at N. 6th. 10. Reduce speed limits on residential streets to 25 miles per hour with concentrated enforcement. For instance, N. 3rd and N. 4th are primarily 35 MPH speed limit (with most drivers dangerously exceeding the limit) . Emphasize: concentrated and strict enforcement of all traffic lanes, esp. speed and blocking cross sts. Renton has traditionally responded to more traffic with a quick and hurtful solution: namely, widen and speed up residential streets, and to make more of them. So my husband had this suggestion last week when he and others were precluded from speaking: Build no more parking lots or parking garages; force Renton and the business community, as well as employees and residents to find better alternatives instead of more and more surface traffic. If any garages or parking lots are built, then those facilities should preclude fewer than three people from using them. Some businesses now require such. Seattle and Bellevue and downtown Renton don't provide parking spaces for their employees, and if Renton is going to become an office center, we'd better find better ways of getting the employees in and out of our living space.

Dick Houghton Don Erickson Mayor Shinpoch Council members Mike Parness s Ron Nelson Don Perrson I am sending copies to all of you so that nothing will fall through the crack/s insofar as our opinions and suggestions for North Renton traffic are concerned. Without the possible addition of more traffic through the new development, traffic is an impossible situation in North Renton, and no one has ever felt strongly at City Hall about our living conditions. The time is now to consider us and our miserable traffic problems that constitute our biggest headache. No one should have to live under these conditions, aided and abetted by inaction by city officials. It is interesting to me personally that the City has indeed responded to traffic conditions of considerable less insignificarre so far as numbers of vehicles, pollu- tion (both air and noise) , and safety are concerned. I would mention your commendable efforts toward Victoria Hills in putting up left-turn barriers coming north along Benson; I would also mention Lake Washington Boulevard where stop signs and slower speed limits were put into effect, to say nothing of the gate above Renton Hill near Philip Arnold Park to keep traffic out of that area. There are probably other in- stances I have temporarily forgotten. BUT NOTHING HAPPENS IN NORTH RENTON: Even visible enforcement of traffic laws is scarce. I would hope you can remember that people living in North Renton are both taxpayers and voters as well as being human beings who shouldn't have to fight and struggle just to get some obvious relief from the horrendous traffic mess. The City has directly and indirectly caused most of the problems, and it is up to the City to relieve those problems. A letter to the hearing examiner an this general subject stated: "It occurs to me that citizens would have legal recourse if City officials fail to provide the rudiments of liveability, such as safety, clean air, freedom from noise and traffic and the provision of emergency services unimpeded by Boeing traffic jams." I know it's easy--in fact, easier--to forget us in the North Renton area, but you should realize that we are PEOPLE whether or not we live in single family houses or apartments--we, too, breathe air and hear the din of traffic noises more than anywhere else in the city. We need help up here, and you City officials can do something about our problems. But will you? P.S. The attached suggestions are done in draft form, and I apologize , ``= �-� k for the abbreviated form in places. Versie Vaupel • CITY OF RENTON FINANCE DEPARTMENT Barbara Y. Shinpoch, Mayor Maxine E.

The applicant is requesting that the City Council take action and rezone the 3.3 acre parcel instead of delaying action as recommended by the Hearing Examiner. The Hearing Examiner' s recommendation contains not only the specific errors in fact and law as detailed below, but has intermingled the issues and roles of the City and the applicant. The Hearing Examiner confused not only the issues, but the responsibilities of comprehensive planning with the applicant' s burden of proof in the pending rezone application and the design issues of the site plan applications. E & H Properties requested the rezone only to allow the construction of the office complex proposed under the pending site plan for Garden Plaza, SA-017 87. The applicant is requesting a less intensive classification than suggested by the ultimate use in the Heavy Industrial classification of the Comprehensive Plan. In fact, E & H Properties could theoretically construct a 340, 000 square foot office building under the present zoning. The applicant is proposing to construct a considerably smaller office building to supplement the existing 70,000 square feet in the 5th and Park Building. Therefore, the applicant is not requesting any additional increase in development potential. 10717 NE Fourth Street,Suite 9 • Bellevue,Washington 98004 e (206)455-1550 Page 2 Pursuant to Section 4-3010, E & H Properties has met the rezoning criteria. In fact, the rezoning and associated site plans have proven to be in the "public interest" because they have not only forced the City to further study the arterial street system in North Renton, but provided private funding of a public comprehensive traffic analysis at no cost to the citizen. The proposal has met the test of SEPA. The ERC issued a Mitigated Declaration of Non-Significance, which was not appealed. The Mitigated DNS contained two conditions. To comply with these conditions, the applicant is actively participating in the North Renton Traffic Study and has included both on and off-site recreational amenities for the employees. The Hearing Examiner will review compliance as part of the site plan process. The Hearing Examiner has raised a series of non project related issues that are speculative. WAC 197-11-060 (4) (a) states that "SEPA's procedural provisions require the consideration of ' environmental ' impacts, with attention to impacts that are likely, not merely speculative. " SPECIFIC ERRORS Finding # 7 The Hearing Examiner states that " . .the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of heavy industrial or commercial uses, but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. " The Hearing Examiner does not specifically reference a single Comprehensive Plan policy. This proposal provides the opportunity to implement the established Central Area Comprehensive Plan policy to use an office use as'' a transition buffer between the residential neighborhood to the south and west and the heavy industrial uses of Boeing and Pac Car to the north and east. Page 3 Finding #11 and Conclusion #3 The Hearing Examiner has made both an error in fact and law in that "if the site were to be reclassified, nothing would bind the applicant to that proposal" to construct an office building. Section 4- 3014 (D) of the Hearing Examiner Ordinance states clearly that "the Examiner may require of the applicant such conditions and restrictions as the Examiner finds necessary to make the application compatible with its environment and carry out the objectives and goals of the Comprehensive Plan. . . " . Since this is a recommendation, the City Council can take direct action to limit by restrictive covenants any use on the property. There has been established precedence for this type of action based upon numerous decisions in the past. Findings #12, 13, 14 and 15 Conclusion #8 , 9 The Hearing Examiner states in conclusion #8 that "The public and the decision makers need all the information which can be accumulated prior to making an almost irrevocable decision. " Both the findings and conclusions focus on the area wide traffic issues. The Hearing Examiner has made an error in law. WAC 197-11- 030 (2) (e) states: "Agencies shall to the fullest extent possible: Integrate the requirements of SEPA with existing planning and licensing procedures and practises. . . " The key is "existing" . The City is attempting to conduct a new comprehensive planning effort in North Renton. This is a separate issue that involves a much different and wider public input process than a detailed development proposal. The proponent has not only provided a detailed project traffic analysis, but is providing an area wide analysis of current conditions. E & H Properties is not responsible for any future conditions not related to the project, but is responsible for mitigating direct and indirect impacts of the projects. Page 4 CONCLUSION The primary issue from the applicant's perspective is: since the rezone procedure legally takes longer to become effective than the site plan review, delaying the rezone postpones the ultimate decision. Our goal is to review both the rezone and site plan on parallel tracks. The City Council has the opportunity to assure that the worst case scenario envisioned by the Hearing Examiner does not occur and positive development is woven into the fabric of the community by either applying conditions on the rezone or in the site plan review process.

(Ord. 3725, 5-9-83) THE 'LAMA CK CO' PAM/ specialists in land-use procedures September 1, 1987 Renton City Council 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, Washington 98055 RE: R-016-87, E & H Properties Appeal of Hearing Examiner recommendation Dear Councilmembers: E & H Properties has applied for the rezoning of property located between North 5th and 6th Streets on the west side of Garden Avenue North from L 1, Light Industrial to B 1, Business Use to allow the construction of an office building. The applicant is requesting that the City Council take action and rezone the 3.3 acre parcel instead of delaying action as recommended by the Hearing Examiner. The Hearing Examiner's recommendation contains not only the specific errors in fact and law as detailed below, but has intermingled the issues and roles of the City and the applicant. The Hearing Examiner confused not only the issues, but the responsibilities of comprehensive planning with the applicant's burden of proof in the pending rezone application and the design issues of the site plan applications. E & H Properties requested the rezone only to allow the construction of the office complex proposed under the pending site plan for Garden Plaza, SA-017 87. The applicant is requesting a less intensive classification than suggested -by the ultimate use in the Heavy Industrial classification of the Comprehensive Plan. In fact, E & H Properties could theoretically construct a 340,000 square foot office building under the present zoning. The applicant is proposing to construct a considerably smaller office building to supplement the existing 70,000 square feet in the 5th and Park Building. Therefore, the applicant is not requesting any additional increase in development potential. 10717 NE Fourth Street,Suite 9 0. Bellevue,Washington 98004 ® (206)455-1550 i Page 2 Pursuant to Section 4-3010, E & H Properties has met the rezoning criteria. In fact, the rezoning and associated site plans have proven to be in the "public interest" because they have not only forced the City to further study the arterial street system in North Renton, but provided private funding of a public comprehensive traffic analysis at no cost to the citizen. The proposal has met the test of SEPA. The ERC issued a Mitigated Declaration of Non-Significance, which was not appealed. The Mitigated DNS contained two conditions. To comply with these conditions, the applicant is actively participating in the North Renton Traffic Study and has included both on and off-site recreational amenities for the employees. The Hearing Examiner will review compliance as part of the site plan process. The Hearing Examiner has raised a series of non project related issues that are speculative. WAC 197-11-060 (4) (a) states that "SEPA's procedural provisions require the consideration of ' environmental ' impacts, with attention to impacts that are likely, not merely speculative. " SPECIFIC ERRORS Finding # 7 The Hearing Examiner states that " . .the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of heavy industrial or commercial uses, but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. " The Hearing Examiner does not specifically reference a single Comprehensive Plan policy. This proposal provides the opportunity to implement the established Central Area Comprehensive Plan policy to use an office use as a transition buffer between the residential neighborhood to the south and west and the heavy industrial uses of Boeing and Pac Car to the north and east. Page 3 Finding #11 and Conclusion #3 The Hearing Examiner has made both an error in fact and law in that "if the site were to be reclassified, nothing would bind the applicant to that proposal" to construct an office building. Section 4- 3014 (D) of the Hearing Examiner Ordinance states clearly that "the Examiner may require of the applicant such conditions and restrictions as the Examiner finds necessary to make the application compatible with its environment and carry out the objectives and goals of the Comprehensive Plan. . . " . Since this is a recommendation, the City Council can take direct action to limit by restrictive covenants any use on the property. There has been established precedence for this type of action based upon numerous decisions in the past. Findings #12, 13, 14 and 15 Conclusion #8, 9 The Hearing Examiner states in conclusion #8 that "The public and the decision makers need all the information which can be accumulated prior to making an almost irrevocable decision. " Both the findings and conclusions focus on the area wide traffic issues. The Hearing Examiner has made an error in law. WAC 197-11- 030 (2) (e) states: "Agencies shall to the fullest extent possible: Integrate the requirements of SEPA with existing planning and licensing procedures and practises. . . " The key is "existing" . The City is attempting to conduct a new comprehensive planning effort in North Renton. This is a separate issue that involves a much different and wider public input process than a detailed development proposal. The proponent has not only provided a detailed project traffic analysis, but is providing an area wide analysis of current conditions. E & H Properties is not responsible for any future conditions not related to the project, but is responsible for mitigating direct and indirect impacts of the projects. Page 4 CONCLUSION The primary issue from the applicant's perspective is: since the rezone procedure legally takes longer to become effective than the site plan review, delaying the rezone postpones the ultimate decision. Our goal is to review both the rezone and site plan on parallel tracks. The City Council has the opportunity to assure that the worst case scenario envisioned by the Hearing Examiner does not occur and positive development is woven into the fabric of the community by either applying conditions on the rezone or in the site plan review process. Sincerely, Roger J. Blaylock rI • - • f . . August 18, 1987 OFFICE OF THE HEARING EXAMINER CITY OF RENTON REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION APPLICANT: E & H PROPERTIES File No.: R-016-87 LOCATION: Located between Park Avenue North and Garden Avenue North between North 5th and North 6th Street. SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To rezone approximately 3.3 acres of property from L-1 to B-1 to allow the future construction of a six-story office building and a 3 story parking garage. SUMMARY OF ACTION: Building and Zoning Department Recommendation: Approval with conditions. BUILDING & ZONING The Building & Zoning Department Report was received DEPARTMENT REPORT: by the Examiner on July 28, 1987. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Building and Zoning Department Report, examining available information on file with the application, and field checking the property and surrounding area, the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: MINUTES The hearing was opened on August 4, 1987 at 9:35 A.M. in the Council Chambers of the Renton Municipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit #1 - Yellow File containing application, proof of posting and publication and other documentation pertinent to this request. Exhibit #2 - Site Plan Exhibit #3 - Vicinity Map Exhibit #4 - Letter of Agreement by Applicant to participate in North Renton traffic study, dated July 1, 1987. Exhibit #5 - Letter of July 29, 1987 regarding re-evaluation of traffic volumes. Exhibit #6 - Aerial photograph showing location of proposed building. Exhibit #7 - Written testimony of Steve McBride. Exhibit #8 - Written testimony of Marjorie Richter. The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by the Zoning Administrator, Don Erickson. Information relayed covered such facts as the rezone covers 3.31 acres of a total 3.62 acre site; the site plan review is currently in the ERC review process; the rezone complies with the Zoning Map and Comprehensive Plan; utilities are provided to the site, storm water retention will be provided on-site; the closest recreational amenities are approximately 1/2 mile west of the site; the full width of the block (approximately 380 ft.) will be rezoned, the alley has been vacated; propane tanks on the adjacent site are to be removed or placed underground at the request of the Fire Department; and Erickson gave a review of comments from various departments. Mr. Erickson also reviewed the mitigated conditions of the ERC for this proposal which consisted of the applicant working with the Parks Department to provide recreational amenities on and off-site and applicant's participation in the North Renton Traffic Study. The property is felt to be classified for the requested zone'in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and conditions have been met which would support the proposed change; improvements are to be paid for at the rate of $188./trip for future traffic in the area; and Erickson stated it is felt the applicant has just about reached the maximum of what can be done on the site as he E & H PROPERTIES R-016-87 August 18, 1987 Page 2 now plans, and feels a building of approximately 240 - 250,000 sq. ft. is reasonable for this site. There will be a parking garage provided to the north of the building. The Examiner questioned the number of people per office and the subsequent impacts due to traffic. Erickson stated a transportation system is being recommended with this proposal to encourage other means of commute to alleviate street traffic as well as that utilizing the parking garage to be provided on-site. With the on-going changes in the area, and after reviewing staff recommendations, the Zoning Administrator recommended approval with the applicant being required to meet the conditions set out by the ERC prior to the issuance of any occupancy permits; the applicant will work with Paccar to relocate or place underground the two propane tanks located 150 ft. east of the site. Calling for testimony in support of the proposal from the applicant or their representative, responding was Roger Blaylock, 10717 N.E. 4th, Suite #9. Bellevue, Washington 98004. Mr. Blaylock advised the site plan for this proposal will be submitted within 30 - 45 days which will address traffic issues specific to this proposal and the general area; the applicant is providing a large recreational facility to address on-site needs as well as participation by the applicant in the partial funding of equipment for the newly proposed Renton Community Center. Regarding traffic, Blaylock stated the applicant is funding the traffic study for the North Renton area with the City directing the study through William Popp. The Examiner questioned if this was not retroactive planning if the traffic scenario for the area is found to show the streets can not handle the additional traffic due to the rezone. Mr. Blaylock stated there has been a lot of study put into the matter of area traffic and the applicant has committed to spending one million dollars for improvements in the area of traffic mitigation thereby referring him to a letter of July 29, 1987 he said contained this commitment. He also stated there is a separate study prepared for the Garden Plaza project and the Park Plaza facility with both studies being reviewed by the ERC; the specific project improvements being evaluated by Transpo Group focus on intersections and street widening which will be further reviewed at the site plan stage; the site will be under a direct lease to Boeing for a period of 10 years; feels the building is supporting the industrial focus of the area; and stated public changes in the area include the widening of Garden Avenue with major improvements, major access, new water lines, landscaping and improvements to traffic conditions on South Park Avenue. Continuing, Mr. Blaylock stated it is the applicant's intent to place a ring of upgraded office structures around the Boeing facility; believes they are taking an industrial area and revitalizing it by creating a commercial ring around the manufacturing area thereby buffering it from the residential area. He concluded testimony stating it is felt because the applicant has committed in writing to participate in the traffic improvements they are vested with conditions if the rezone is approved. He stipulated the applicant would commit to the Garden Plaza Building being 245,850 sq. ft. in restrictive covenants as long as any modifications by the Examiner or the City Council for recreational facilities, etc. would be in excess of that space. Wishing to question the proposal was Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton, Wa. 98055. Ms. Richter said as a homeowner in the area she has watched the progress of the area; 85% of the traffic in the area is from the Boeing facilities; the value of housing in the residential area around Boeing has decreased over the last 15 years due to the traffic volumes; the hours of 2:30 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. are the peak traffic hours which disagrees with the William Popp study setting out peak hours of traffic as 3:30 P.M. to 4:30 P.M., with cross streets blocked and emergency vehicles finding it difficult to maneuver in that area. She said the noise, vulgar language from upset drivers, litter, fumes, stress and pollution are only some of the problems in this area due to the traffic - doors and windows must be kept closed during peak hours, alleys are used by some of the traffic, and pedestrian and vehicle accidents are prevalent. She questioned the traffic studies that have been made in the North Renton area; asked for traffic relief in that area, and invited those compiling the traffic information to view the problem from her home. Also questioning the proposal was Warren Vaupel, 1402 North Second, Renton, Washington 98055. Mr. Vaupel stated as a past employee of Boeing he is aware when they take over a building under lease conditions they utilize all available parking areas in adjacent companies around them, in addition to their own. He noted at some point in time Boeing may no longer be the occupant of the building and when that comes about he would like to see due consideration given to the allocation of parking areas another company would not be able to use. Steve McBride, 1220 No. 5th, Renton, Washington 98055. Mr. McBride is the co-owner of Custom Cabinet Sales. He presented his written testimony as Exhibit #7. Mr. McBride's business is located at North 5th and Garden, adjacent to the proposed rezone site; addressed the surrounding property owners impacts from this project and referred to the buildings on the east and west side of Park Avenue; the lack of buffers from this proposal and the fact his, and other light manufacturing properties will become an L-1 island surrounded by B-1 property. He reviewed the traffic impacts to be felt; the inability of his business to use street parking for customers, the difficulty of delivery at his shop by suppliers; and the fact the Garden Avenue access to the proposed parking garage will be within 100 ft. of the main entrance to his business, with the other entrance to the parking garage being a joint E & H PROPERTIES R-016-87 August 18, 1987 Page 3 occupancy driveway which was provided as a pipestem access to another lot. He expressed concern over the impact of the 900-1300 vehicles proposed to use the small driveway; the noise, pollution, possible loss of customers to his business due to insufficient parking; and unsafe conditions that would surrounding his business from additional vehicular and pedestrian traffic. McBride concluded suggesting the City further investigate the incompatibility of the two zones in that area, and requested rejection of the proposal until all problems have been addressed so they can represent all citizens equally. Speaking further to this project was Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, Washington 98057. Mrs. Vaupel expressed concern over the proposal and its impacts on surrounding properties, residential as well as business; and presented steps she thought should be followed by the City and developer to give traffic relief to the area; reviewed what she believed to be the safety concerns, noise, pollution, and feels the developers and City should provide more mitigating measures to better protect the daily lives of all residents in the area. She also expressed concern regarding enforcement by the Police Department, emergency access and response time, and possible leaks from the propane tanks located on the Paccar property. She concluded with the presentation of a letter from a property owner unable to attend the hearing, Mary Ellen Hamblin, 13025 - 138th S.E., Renton, Washington 98056. Testifying further was Terry Tedder, 1220 North 5th Street, Renton, Washington 98055 who is the co- owner of Custom Cabinet Sales. Mr. Tedder questioned the Zoning Administrator about the pipestem access and wondered if that road has been addressed regarding its use by the new facility as access to the parking structure. Mr. Erickson replied "no" but it would come up at the site plan process, and if an easement has been put aside that easement would have to be respected; Tedder said they are concerned about the possibility his business will be unable to use the pipestem for their loading and unloading; expressed concern with the aesthetics of the proposed building and feels there will come a time the City may require him to upgrade his facility to conform to the new structure. He does not feel they should be subjected to the increase in traffic that will result from this proposal. He wanted the record to reflect he and his business partner are in opposition to this proposal. Testifying for the Traffic Engineering Department, City of Renton, was Gary Norris. Mr. Norris referred to the two traffic reports that have been prepared for this proposal. One report was done for the 212,000 sq. ft. Garden Plaza proposal and an update for a 245,000 sq. ft. office complex as a part of the Park Plaza which is north of this site. Concerns have always been over the traffic circulation in the North Renton area and the City has been working with the applicant to fund a North Renton Benefit Study. They are trying to define the ability of this area to accommodate future traffic levels and identify specific improvements necessary to accommodate future development by this applicant and potential developers in the area. The traffic study completed for Garden Plaza was to identify the specific impacts of this site onto the adjacent arterial, which it did. From that, specific improvements were noted which were necessary to accommodate the site's access to the arterial. He stated based upon that report, specific needs were identified to accommodate the proposed development. He also referenced a study done by the Transpo Group for the Park Plaza which identified the expansion of the building to 245,000 sq. ft.; the traffic information is not complete for the overall area as yet; he understands there is an overall proposed 700,000 sq. ft. of development for this general area by this applicant. Mr. Norris, commenting on regional traffic stated those impacts will be addressed in the North Renton Traffic Study; he said development in the area should be utilized by the City to assist in the definition of an arterial system that would accommodate the needs of the City and establish barriers between residential neighborhoods, commercial areas and arterial systems. In conclusion, Mr. Norris reviewed the fees from developers and how they will be used to mitigate the traffic impacts. He had no further comments at this time. Wishing to testify was Bruce Wicks, 200 Garden Avenue North, Renton, Washington 98055. Concern was expressed by Mr. Wicks over traffic impacts to his area, safety of the children in the area; would favor a diverter of some sort at Third Street with the possible re-routing of some of the traffic; and wishes to have the City take a complete look at the impacts to Garden Avenue with regard to traffic, pollution, and safety of area children. Mr. Blaylock requested a ten minute recess to review the two traffic reports presented and prepare for presentation. Recess was called at 11:30 A.M. The hearing re-opened at 11:45 A.M. with Mr. Blaylock presenting some general comments stating the applicant is putting together a Transportation Management Plan; feels the two issues to be addressed will be the project's specific impacts which will be evaluated in detail in the Site Plan and the extension of the Comprehensive Plan effort with regard to a limited traffic study area and a method for implementing the improvements. He introduced William Popp, 1309 - 114th Ave. S.E., Suite 301, Bellevue, Washington 98004. Mr. Popp addressed the North Renton Transportation Study covering the area of I-405 on the east, 44th on the north, Lake Washington to the west and the Cedar River on the S.E., returning to I-405. He stated this is a long- range study and they are looking at several forecast land use scenarios for the area. He said he was not sure the traffic information is necessary for the rezone request as they have identified the project impacts and identified mitigation measures for those impacts. He said the study is expected to be 1�. . E & H PROPERTIES R-016-87 August 18, 1987 Page 4 complete approximately August 31, 1987. Speaking further to the traffic issue was Jim MacIsaac, Transpo Group, 14715 Bellevue-Redmond Road, Suite #100, Bellevue, Washington 98007, who advised his firm was hired to look at the short and long terms of traffic impacts to the year 1989; traffic operations in the Garden and Park Avenue corridor were looked at and the projected traffic count for this new 245,000 sq. ft. proposal would create approximately 3000 vehicle trips per day with 650 occurring during the P.M. peak hour which he referred to as 3:30 - 4:30 P.M. He said he is trying to get an idea from Boeing just what hours the workers in this new complex will work which may extend the end of the P.M. peak hour. Mr. MacIsaac reviewed the intersections in the area that may be impacted by the traffic and stated mitigated measures that could be considered could include the channelization of Third and Garden and possible access off Park Avenue. He concluded stating he feels individual traffic impacts from either of the two projects will be less than 5%. Final comments by Mr. Blaylock referenced funds necessary to make the mitigations workable; adjacent off-site improvements that are not included in the area-wide improvements but are a part of the project and are without cost to the City; believes the rezone is warranted, there has been significant change to the area, the request is timely, and the criteria for a rezone has been met. The Zoning Administrator in closing comments stated the parking garage is permitted in the L-1 zone and not attributed directly to the B-1 zone; the City's new hazardous substances ordinances only applies to new construction and not applicable to tanks in existence at the time the ordinance was passed; feels criteria for rezone has been met and the applicant should have the right to pursue the project noting SEPA allows the phasing of ERC reviews and suggests if a future development is known it should be taken into consideration, which is what they are doing. 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 12:15 P.M. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant, E & H Properties, filed a request for approval of a rezone of approximately 3.3 acres of property from L-1 (Light Industrial) to B-1 (Business/Commercial). 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 Declaration of Non-Significance (DNS) for the subject proposal. 4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. 5. The subject site is located between Park Avenue North and Garden Avenue North, between North 5th Street and North 6th Street. 6. The site is part of the original townsite for the City of Renton. The site received its initial zoning with the original adoption of the City of Renton's Zoning Ordinance. 7. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of heavy industrial or commercial uses, but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. 8. The proposed rezone actually encompasses a small portion of property already zoned B-1, therefore, acreage including that portion, totals approximately 3.62 acres as announced in various published materials. Also included in the rezone is a small pipestem corresponding with an easement shared between the applicant and a neighboring property located on the southeast corner of the block. 9. Zoning in the vicinity is a mix of H-1 (Heavy Industry), L-1 (Light Industry), B-1 and R-4 (High Density Multiple Family) and R-2 (Duplex Residential). An H-1 district is located immediately east of the subject site and continues north and generally encompasses Pacific Car and Foundry properties and Boeing properties in this vicinity. The L-1 district in which the subject site is located begins generally at North 6th and runs south to North 4th, and fronts generally upon Garden North. E & H PROPERTIES R-016-87 August 18, 1987 Page 5 10. A corridor of B-1 zoning, the type requested in this case, runs the length of Park Avenue, starting just north of North 6th Street and continuing south to Bronson Way where it enters the Sunset B-1 district. Both west and east of the B-1 district is an R-4 district generally comprised of older single family homes. A similarly developed district, that is, predominantly single family homes, is the R-2 district located west and east of Park and south of North 4th Street. 11. While the applicant has proposed the construction of an office building if the site were to be reclassified, nothing would bind the applicant to that proposal. The applicant submitted an aerial photograph which merely illustrated the type of building which could be located on the site. 12. There were two traffic reports submitted which projected the potential traffic which could be generated by office buildings on the subject site. These reports each dealt with a different size building, demonstrating that the building was still in its formative stage. One report had the building containing approximately 212,000 sq. ft., while the second report had a building containing approximately 239,000 sq. ft. As late as July 29, 1987 the applicant indicated the building was a third size - 245,850 sq. ft. No traffic analysis was predicated upon this scenario. 13. There have been two separate traffic reports which deal with traffic generated from the subject site. Both reports are predicated upon the construction of an office building. One report is based upon a smaller building, approximately 212,000 sq. ft. with all parking concentrated near the building. Projected traffic would be approximately 2,608 vehicle trips per day with approximately 573 of those trips occurring during the P.M. peak. The Level of Service (LOS) projections show certain intersections, principally North 6th and Garden, with an LOS of E which translates to intolerable delays and poor traffic conditions for an extended period. The Lake Washington/Park/Garden intersection which is already at LOS of F, which is the worst case in which demands exceeds capacity with severe congestion and delay, would have to handle an additional 7% load. 14. The second traffic report was prepared principally for a separate site and project. It does also discuss the proposal for the subject site which had, at that time, been increased to approximately 239,000 sq. ft. In this second scenario the subject site would be expected to generate 2,938 trips per day, with a P.M. peak of approximately 646 trips. This report redistributes some of the subject site's projected traffic by utilizing a redistribution of parking. Since it is based upon a proposed but still formative proposal, that is one which has not been reviewed or approved, the projections are purely speculative. The LOS of D projected with this redistribution could well approach LOS F, at least it would still be intolerable at LOS E. No traffic report discussed the latest figures for an approximately 245,000 sq. ft. building. 15. The applicant's traffic engineer indicated that the potential for a decreased level of service would be offset by an extended P.M. peak. That is, one could expect a longer or extended evening rush hour. The City's Traffic Engineer has not accepted either study as definitive, but simply as working documents. The shifting nature of the project's size, scope, parking relationship, and its relationship to nearby projects has made estimates all the more unreliable. These two studies separate the traffic impacts of the subject site and those of the proposed associated project of the applicant. Each details the project and backgrounds but totals do not appear to be applied clearly to the intersections. Each report also ignores traffic impacts on residential areas presupposing that that information will be forthcoming in the areawide study, and focuses analysis on Garden and Park intersections north of No. 3rd. 16. In addition, testimony from neighboring business owners as well as nearby residents cast some doubt on a methodology which calculates LOS based upon traffic numbers and street and intersection widths (Webster Method utilizing optimum cycles). A truer picture is better reflected by reality. The record reflects that backups and delays occur over an extended time frame beginning most days at approximately 3:00 to 3:30 P.M. and extending to 6:00 P.M. Intersections are blocked, left turns nearly impossible, and pedestrian passage risky at best. Insurance rates for residents are higher reflecting the additional traffic which passes through the neighborhood. This information is not conveyed in calculations based upon ITE Manuals but could be reflected in accident rates. 17. Traffic accident rates for nearby intersections for the three years 1984 to 1986 are included in the traffic reports. The intersection of N. 3rd/Park had 13, 17 and 12 accidents in the three years; N. 4th/Park had 8, 16 and 13 accidents in that time frame; N. 6th/Park had 3, 5 and 3; and N. 3rd and Garden had 3, 3 and 6 accidents. 18. Boeing has in the past and with their expansions now projected, could again, increase occupancy. What this means is that Boeing has generally had an employee-to-floor area ratio considerably higher than normal occupancies. All the projections are based upon ordinary occupancy loads. Any increase, even one or two employees per office unit, could reasonably be expected to drive the traffic counts even further upward. E & H PROPERTIES R-016-87 August 18, 1987 Page 6 19. The City is in the midst of preparing a traffic study for North Renton which will be completed within the next month or so. It will be an overall study projecting traffic impacts not only in the immediate vicinity but upon the now heavily affected residential community surrounding the Boeing complex. The study has been variously called the North Renton Areawide Traffic Mitigation Study, the North Renton Traffic Study and the North Renton Areawide Traffic Study. 20. A number of smaller light industrial uses are located in the vicinity of the subject site including some smaller fabricators, major automobile repair uses and the cabinet shop immediately adjacent to the subject site. These uses are generally defined as L-1 uses. 21. While the applicant has indicated a willingness to participate in traffic improvements, no documents exist with the contractual terms clearly spelled out. The commitments appear in a series of correspondence, with each indicating a figure subject to further confirmation and negotiation. Since the numbers are related in some fashion to traffic counts which are again related to building size, which is then related to potential occupancy load and building size keeps changing upward - well, the numbers and dollars are clearly conjectural. 22. Air pollution from the additional cars was not considered in any of the documentation. Testimony indicated that the area may be a non-attainment area, but there was no response to the allegation. This office can make no Finding regarding the matter. It is obvious that an additional 2,000 to 4,000 trips per day would increase the air pollution level. Residents indicated that soot from automobile exhaust stains homes, furnishings and clothing. 23. A Propane tank complex is located approximately 150 feet from the subject site. The Building and Zoning Department and the Fire Department both expressed concern regarding the possible concentration of people which could be located near the propane complex which development of a commercial office building could allow. A rupture could have explosive consequences. CONCLUSIONS 1. The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest, that it will not impair the public health, safety and welfare and in addition, complies with at least one of the criteria found in Section 4-3010, which provides in part that: a. The subject site has not been considered in a previous area-wide rezone or land use analysis; or b. The subject site is potentially designated for the new classification per the Comprehensive Plan; or c. There has been a material and substantial change in the area in which the subject site is located since the last rezoning of the property or area. The requested classification is premature pending the City of Renton Traffic study, and should not be approved at this time. 2. Besides timeliness, there are other issues which would appear to be deserving of more study, such as issues relating to the Comprehensive Plan, the loss of supportive low key Light Industrial services or at least land suitable for such uses, the general availability of suitable land for B-1 and L-1 uses, and the obvious traffic implications of converting low traffic generating Light Industrial uses and property to high traffic generating business and commercial uses. 3. Staff has suggested that this rezone would avoid strip commercial development along the Park Avenue corridor and that such an outcome is supported by the Comprehensive Plan. While the rezone would create almost an entire block of B-1 zoning, there is nothing in the recommendations of staff to present the strip commercial uses they indicate would be prevented by the rezone. Nothing prevents the applicant from developing a fast food drive-up restaurant on one corner, a mini-mart gasoline station on another and other strip uses along the remaining right-of-way. Plans change, and simply because the applicant has indicated or even submitted plans for an office building, does not commit the property to that outcome. 4. It is incorrect to ignore the precedent involved in eliminating, without discussion or analysis, L- 1 zoning. L-1 zoning is a step down from the H-1 zoning which predominates in the area. It serves a legitimate and valid purpose. It serves as a buffer between heavy industrial processes and less intense commercial and business uses. It is not only a buffer between the more intense H-1 and the less compatible commercial use, but it provides space for support industries such as light fabrication, machining, etc. for the Boeing complex without driving these light industrial uses to the higher rent Manufacturing Park zones. It also provides a reasonable location for E & H PROPERTIES R-016-87 August 18, 1987 Page 7 such uses as the neighboring cabinet shop which would be left an isolated parcel of L-1 zoning next to a B-1 zone. As the propane situation points out, the less dense employee base of either L-1 or H-1 uses serves as a buffer from the more inherent dangers associated with manufacturing operations. Eliminating the transitional buffer subjects the greater number of commercial employees to these potential manufacturing dangers. While obviously any explosion could result in loss of life, the numbers would be substantially less if the site were to retain its current zoning. In addition to providing quiet places for residential development, this segregation of potentially dangerous uses from large numbers of people was another reason zoning was initially enacted. Actually this situation should be explored apart from this rezone request. 5. As indicated, not only is there limited discussion of the implications of the L-1 loss, but also limited discussion of what would become of the rather isolated island of L-1 zoning to the south between Garden and Park. The transition created is awkward, and the transition generally utilized between incompatible zones is absent. 6. As a matter of timeliness, the applicant had not at the time of this public hearing completed submission of a site plan. And, while a site plan is not required to consider a rezone, it is indicative of the fact that time probably, and more appropriately, properly remains before a decision in this matter must be made. The traffic engineer reported that the traffic report for this proposal is still incomplete. The applicant has already modified the plans in three stages from approximately 212,000 sq. ft. to 245,000 sq. ft., is still working on the traffic data, and the City's overall analysis of traffic for this congested area is still being worked on. The record would appear to indicate that the City's North Renton Traffic Study is less than a month from completion. Therefore the question is: Why rush to judgment when the applicant has not finalized his building plans, his traffic study for the site is still incomplete, and the City's entire analysis of this area's transportation needs is only 3 weeks from completion? 7. These unanswered questions and project size fluctuations clearly indicate why a rezone should be judged on its own merits and not on some illustrative or tentative proposal, unless, of course, it is clearly a contract rezone which contains binding contractual provisions. What this means is that a rezone analysis should reflect the worst case scenario since an applicant, once zoning is in place, is entitled (subject to SEPA review) to construct the maximum project with the greatest density. Therefore, one has to know, or should know, what the maximum impacts could be before approving such a request. 8. " There is occasional confusion regarding this fact. Some people maintain that a rezone is merely a change in a designation on a map and 'real' review is only necessary when a proposal is forthcoming. That is not planning, that is an absence of planning. If an area cannot support the type of development which a new zoning category would permit, then the zoning is either inappropriate or premature. In either case, simply indicating that it is merely a map change is a gross understatement. Anyone who has dealt with a property owner's vested right to pursue a development predicated on a simple map designation can attest to the fact that it is more than a relabeling of a parcel on a zoning map. The rezone carries with it certain entitlements which cannot be ignored. The public and the decisionmakers need all the information which can be accumulated prior to making an almost irrevocable decision. 9. The statement made many times that subsequent review, whether site plan, platting or special permit, will catch any loose ends is, if anything, retroactive or reactive planning but it certainly is not anticipatory planning (admittedly redundant but it stresses the point that planning should precede approval). If a site does not have the potential being requested then that fact should be discovered early in the process, not after the zoning has been granted. The statement in the staff report that "Staff believes that there may be sufficient opportunities at the Site Plan Review stage for the B-1 Zone to address these issues if they occur in that zone" demonstrates the inconclusiveness of reactive planning. 10. The Recommendation to the City Council is that they wait for additional information before vesting in the subject site the B-1 zoning potentials requested. A neighbor in the vicinity has clearly enunciated the arguments in favor of waiting the few additional weeks before making any final determination in this matter. The neighbor states: "I note that an overall traffic study will not be available until after your deliberations---I question that you can sincerely exercise your professional judgment without such a document." 11. While the letter makes other statements generally opposing the project, the quoted line is on target and is undeniably correct. While the City is preparing a major statement on what they can do and whether they can do anything for the traffic in the area, they are being asked to commit to even more traffic. The information now being prepared should be invaluable in E & H PROPERTIES R-016-87 August 18, 1987 Page 8 making any determination which increases the traffic in an area already greatly burdened by traffic. To ignore the potential information would impair a professional determination, and no one should expect that. While the applicant is impatient to get on with his project, the matter of a few additional weeks should not impede a project which has not finalized its site plans yet. In addition, the City should not be asked to make a final determination at this time, while the applicant has already modified his own plans for the project more than once and is still reworking the proposal. It would appear both parties can utilize the additional time - - the City to establish a plan and methodology for dealing with traffic in the area, and the applicant to complete his site plan design. 12. While the applicant may or may not finalize his plans during the pendency of this matter, the issue of the North Renton traffic analysis remains. This decisionmaker cannot offer the City Council, the ultimate decisionmaker, a recommendation when the best information regarding traffic is still forthcoming. The money proffered by the applicant does not solve any problems. Nor is there any definitive contract regarding funds. While in some cases the money might prevent some problems from getting worse, and there are problems, the funds will not solve some of the problems. The only remedy presented to far is hardly a remedy - it is an extension of the PM rush hour. This expansion of the rush hour is not something elaborated upon in the analysis, but it becomes a major concern especially when the residential community nearby already suffers traffic during an already lengthy peak hour time frame. What is in fact a bad situation does not get worse in terms of overall congestion, it simply extends the congestion to earlier in the afternoon and later into the evening. One observation regarding one of the traffic reports, a minor issue but irritating nonetheless, is the use of pluses and minuses to demonstrate LOS. Traffic engineering jargon does not recognize the use of pluses and minuses since the LOS ratings are already subjective enough - the use appears little more than an effort to blur distinctions. The traffic situation in the area is bad - congestion is bad or intolerable. 13. Another issue merely touched upon but one which has had and could continue to have an affect on traffic is Boeing's tendency to make use of all available floor space for employees, thereby increasing the occupancy load of buildings (this has nothing to do with legal occupancy loads related to fire protection). While indications are increased occupancy will not be the case, there is really nothing to prevent it, other than a possible surge in Airbus sales. Boeing could simply up the occupancy of the buildings if the pressure were created to do so. While not intended or proposed, it is one of the scenarios that should receive attention. Boeing has tended to have one of the higher, if not highest, occupancy ratios for office workers, which explains the larger parking lots and higher traffic impacts which have accompanied many Boeing proposals. 14. While the applicant might disagree with any delay, no one can honestly state that it would be clearly unreasonable, clearly erroneous or even arbitrary and capricious to wait the additional time necessary for the City's traffic studies to be completed. The applicant's request is a precursor to other large proposals which are very much interrelated and which it is hoped the traffic study would analyze. While not invoking SEPA, (although ignoring the forthcoming traffic analysis could be sufficient error to require a remand to the ERC) SEPA can certainly provide guidance as to interrelated projects. These interrelated projects simply cannot be ignored. The cumulative impacts should be analyzed, and the rezone probably should have been contractual with specific measures identified and agreed to in detailed writings. 15. This office believes that an EIS probably should have been prepared for this project and its related proposal(s), and that the absence of such a document has deprived the City Council of invaluable information for reaching a decision on this rezone, and has similarly deprived other public officials of information necessary in the review of other related proposals. The scope of this and related projects is approximately one half million sq. ft. of office space. It would appear that such development could have "more than a moderate impact on the quality of the environment." After all, the City prepared such a document for Gene Coulon Park and it only impacts traffic on weekends, while its other impacts would generally be conceived of as positive. 16. There is no telling what secondary impacts might be encouraged by these interrelated office projects and actions. A full analysis could explain the loss of L-1 zoning, the impact of the employee population on other city services such as recreational facilities, and the potential affect on housing from an increase in the employment base. E & H PROPERTIES R-016-87 August 18, 1987 Page 9 17. A number of issues have presented themselves in this review and none of them were clearly answered in the affirmative. Staff characterized the request as "not inappropriate" which is not a ringing endorsement. At a minimum, therefore, the recommendation is that the City Council should await the outcome of the City's own traffic studies before approving this rezone. At the maximum, a variety of information on this and its related proposals should be submitted for review by the decisionmakers. As SEPA states: "The SEPA process shall be integrated with agency activities at the earliest possible time to ensure that planning and decisions reflect environmental values, to avoid delays later in the process, and to seek to resolve potential problems." (WAC 197-11-055(1)). "Proposals or parts of proposals that are related to each other closely enough to be, in effect, a single course of action shall be evaluated in the same environmental document." (WAC 197-11-060(3)(b)). "A proposal's effects include direct and indirect impacts caused by a proposal. Impacts include those effects resulting from growth - ' caused by a proposal, as well as the likelihood that the present proposal will serve as a precedent for future actions. For example, adoption of a zoning ordinance will encourage or tend to cause particular types of,projects..." (WAC 197-11-060(4)(d)). 18. Under the circumstances this office believes that the failure to await the outcome of the North Renton Traffic Study and the failure to answer some of the other questions regarding the precedent of the proposed rezone such as loss of limited L-1 zoning, air pollution from increased traffic, etc., constitute a substantial error in fact and, therefore, provide sufficient justification to remand the matter back to the ERC for reconsideration of its environmental determination. (Section 4-2822(D)). This office would recommend that the City Council seriously consider that option. RECOMMENDATION The City Council should delay action on the request pending the outcome of the North Renton Traffic Study. The City Council may want to consider remanding the matter back to the ERC for the preparation of supplemental environmental information regarding the other issues raised herein.

The Examiner also suggested that the Council may wish to consider remanding the matter back to the Environmental Review Committee for supplemental environmental information. Mayor Shinpoch indicated that on 8/26/87, staff will hold the first of several meetings with residents of North Renton regarding traffic. Claim: Status Report Councilwoman Keolker requested an occasional report on the outcome of Requested claims referred to the City Attorney and insurance service. ADMINISTRATIVE Mayor Shinpoch reported that the full Metro Council voted on Thursday to REPORT expend another $120,000 to pursue the commuter rail project. Noting that Metro: Commuter Rail cities of Auburn, Kent and Tukwila presented formal resolutions urging Committee support of this matter, Mayor Shinpoch indicated that she verbally expressed the City of Renton's support of the project since a formal resolution was not requested of the City. Metro will coordinate with Pierce County and then approach the Rail Commission and State Legislature for state funding. Hearing Examiner: Pro Mayor Shinpoch announced that Gene Williams, former Senior Planner and Tempore Appointed interim Policy Development Director for the City of Renton has been appointed as Hearing Examiner Pro Tempore.

E&H PROPERTIES CITY OF ZI.,ITO' August 24, 1987 AUG 25 41 7 Environmental Review Committee 827 108th N.E. City of Renton BU1LDING/ZONING DEPT. Bellevue,V,'asnmgton Building and Zoning Department 206/454-5959 200 Mill Avenue South _ Renton, Washington 98055 RE: GARDEN PLAZA REZONE/SITE PLAN ECF-013-87 , R-016-87, and SA-01'1-87 Dear Sirs: E & H Properties offers the following response including project clarification, possible revisions, and comments to the Mitigated -Declaration of Non-Significance issued on August 14, 1987 for the above 245, 850 square foot office complex. E & H Properties has already agreed to many of the conditions that the ERC is proposing to require were formally included in our revised application dated July 2, 1987. E & H Properties responses are highlighted below. 1. That all soils to be removed from the site be first tested for possible hazardous compounds contamination by a certified professional, and if found to test positive in this regard, that a disposal plan be developed that is acceptable to both the Department of Public Works and King County Health Department. This will be accomplished during construction. Earth Consultants will do soils testing continuously during the excavation operation and prepare the disposal program, if necessary. 2. That all contaminated soils, if found, be removed or sealed to the satisfaction of the King County Health Department. E & H Properties has previously agreed that if any ❑E&H Enterprises contaminated materials are found they will be disposed ❑Seventh Avenue Co. of in a method acceptable to the City. ❑Lind Building Co. 0 5th&Park Co. August 24, 1987 Page 2 3. That a Traffic Management System be developed with Metro with the aim of reducing total vehicular trips on site by a minimum of ten (10) percent. E & H Properties is presently working toward this goal with both Metro and The Boeing Company. 4. That the intersection of Garden Avenue North and Lake Washington Boulevard be improved to bring this intersection up to a D level of service: The traffic issue is the primary development impact issue in North Renton. Historically, The Boeing Company and Pac Car have employed significantly higher numbers of workers, but the City arterial street system during the last 15 years is absorbing excess traffic demand from I-405. The p.m. peak for Boeing is still 3:30 until 4:30, but traffic by-passing I-405 continues from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. There are three factors that are unique to this development proposal: a. Only 450 or 25% of the anticipated 1,800 employees occupying both the Garden and Park Plaza Office Buildings will be new employees. The remaining 75% (1350 employees) will be relocated from within the Boeing Commercial Airplane Company; thus introducing no new vehicle trips into the City. b. With the shift in use of a buildings within the existing manufacturing plant from office to heavy industrial, the traffic generation reduces from a high office use o 14.3 trips per 1,000 square feet versus to 1.5 trips per 1,000 square feet for that space converted. This is a reduction of 90% in the traffic generation rates at the time of building conversion. Thus, the actual net increase of daily vehicle trips to the area is dramatically less than projected in either the William Popp or Transpo Traffic Analysis. In fact the 600 employees that will be relocated from the adjacent 10-85 building that would generate approximately 1,476 vehicle trips will be replaced by manufacturing and research and development space that will generate approximately 180 trip. August 24, 1987 Page 3 c. The project design to include large convenient and economical cafeterias within each building reduces to total daily trips. In fact it would suggest that there would be only an entry and exit trip for each employee, which would reduce the worst case scenario to slightly more than 2,000 trips per day. 5. That the intersection at North 6th Avenue and Garden Avenue North be signalized: & H Properties has previously agreed to construct the traffic signal at this intersection. 6. That Park Avenue North between North 5th Street and North 6th Street be undergrounded, i.e. , overhead electrical and communication distribution lines. (Copies of agreements with affected utilities to be provided to city) : This is a City Code requirement. It does not need to be stated as an environmental condition. In fact our concern is that if it is made an environmental condition then Puget Power may not be responsible and the cost of undergrounding may be unduly placed upon E & H Properties. 7. That street light plans for the following street frontages be prepared: a. North 6th Street, Park to Garden Ave. N. b. Park Ave. North, North 5th to North 6th Street: c. North 5th Street, Park to Garden Avenue North: E & H Properties has previously agreed to construct the street lighting system for the above streets according to City Code. 8. That Park Avenue North between North 5th Street and North 6th Street be designed and improved to provide 5 lanes. The intersection Garden Avenue North and Lake Washington Boulevard is the bottleneck to the area's transportation system. A solution to the problem has been suggested by both William Popp Associates and Transpo that significantly affects the requirement for 5th lane on Park Avenue North under condition #8. August 24, 1987 Page 4 The proposal is to utilize a one way couplet. This would appear to have more ultimate design capacity. Regardless of the amount of money directed to the intersection improvements, it would be very difficult to improve the level of service to "D" without the use of the one way couplet. E & H Properties requests the assistance of the City to establish the couplet principle. t 9. That North 5th Street between Garden and Park, be designed (channelization) and improved for 3 lanes. E & H Properties has previously agreed to construct the necessary channelization. 10. That North 6th Street between Park and Garden be designed to accommodate a drop off lane for the proposed new six-story office building: E & H Properties has included this design feature in the site plan. 11. That North 6th Street between Park and Garden be designed to accommodate a sixth lane: Presently there are 4 lanes. Five lanes are adequate for left turns; however, we do not understand the logic of adding 2 additional lanes for a total of 6 lanes. It appears this may have been a typographical error could you please clarify. Our concern is that if a 6th lane was required, there would be a significant adverse environmental impact on the quality of the pedestrian environment in front of the Garden Plaza Office Building. To properly align the street with the section to the west, North 6th Street would have to be widened to the north. August 24, 1987 Page 5 12. That approved haul routes and a program for ensuring the cleanliness of hauling vehicles before they enter city streets be developed that is acceptable to the Department of Public Works. E & H Properties previously agreed on July 2nd to obtain approval of haul routes from both the Police and Public Works Department. We will comply with the condition. 13. That the applicant participate in a North Renton Traffic Impact Assessment Study. E & H Properties is funding the Worth Renton Traffic Impact Assessment Study presently being conducted by William Popp and Associates. 14. That the traffic signal at the intersection of North 6th and Park Avenue North be reconstructed: E & H Properties has previously agreed to reconstruct the traffic signal to City requirements. 15. That the applicant work with the Renton Fire Department and the owner of the property to the east (across Garden Ave. ) to develop an acceptable mitigation plan for preventing an explosion or major leak of gas from the two 15,000 gallon liquid propane tanks located northeast of the proposed office building: NOTE: The costs of mitigation should be born by the applicant as well as the applicant for the proposed office complex to the north. E & H Properties will work with the Renton Fire Department and the owner of the property to resolve the problem; however, we will need legal assistance from the City of Renton. E & H Properties requests that the NOTE be deleted. "It is not our financial responsibility to remove or reconstruct the propane tanks. 16. That the first floor of the parking garage at Park Plaza (if it is used for this project) be reserved for the Garden Plaza project: E & H Properties agrees to this condition. August 24, 1987 Page 6 17 . That a minimum eight (8 ' ) foot wide landscaped sidewalls be provided along the east side of Park Avenue N. between the subject proposal and the parking garage to the north. We believe that this is in error. If it does mean an 8 foot wide sidewalk then E & H Properties will comply with this requirement, but we suggest that it conditioned on the Park Plaza proposal for construction logistics and deleted here. 19. That 'at grade, surface parking currently serving the 600 Park Building be consolidated into the new parking garage and these areas be appropriately landscaped. NOTE: The E.R.C. said they would encourage the applicant to go another half story with the proposed new garage (on the Garden Avenue side) to facilitate these conditions if necessary. First E & H Properties is assuming that the requirement concerns the 5th and Park Building and we are discussing the parking on the west side of the building. The parking spaces lost will have to be relocated into the Park Plaza parking garage where there is surplus parking planned. Adding another partial level to the Garden Plaza parking structure would require significant redesign and delay the project. It would also require a variance from City Code for setbacks from Garden Avenue because of the height of the building. Also for clarification purposes we are assuming that landscaping can also include plaza areas. 18. That the applicant work with the Police Department on appropriate security measures for the parking garage. We are working toward this goal. E & H Properties appreciates the opportunity to address the 18 conditions proposed by the Environmental Review Committee for the Mitigated - Declaration of Non-Significance for the Garden Plaza Office Complex.

The applicants, E&H Properties, have requested the rezoning of approximately 3 .3 acres from L-1, Light Industrial, to B-1, Business Use, to allow the future construction of a multi- story office building of approximately 250,000 sq. ft. and a three-story parking garage. 2 . The ERC issued a Determination of Non-Significance - Mitigated on June 10, 1987, with the following conditions: a. That sufficient recreational and office user amenities be provided both on-site and off-site to address the lack of such facilities in the immediate area. These shall be provided to the satisfaction of the Parks Department. b. That the applicant participate in the . North Renton Traffic Study. 3. Various City departments have reviewed the subject proposal. The comments related to the site plan application. No significant comments were related to the rezone. Comments pertained mainly to original site plan application comments are attached for review. 'Builaing and Zonini apartment Preliminary Report _- the Hearing Examiner Public Hearing E&H Properties Page 3 4 . The Hearing Examiner must review four specific criteria under Section 4-3014 (c) to determine that the circumstances surrounding the rezone request are adequate to recommend approval of the reclassification to the City Council. The following evidence demonstrates that the rezone request is appropriate: a. That substantial evidence was presented demonstrating the subject reclassification appears not to have been specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning; There appears to be no evidence provided by the applicant demonstrating that the subject reclassification was not specifically considered during the last land use analysis and area zoning for this area. The "Northeast Renton Plan" which was adopted in December of 1981, considered the subject area. That plan designated the land use for this area as "Heavy Industrial" . b. That the property is potentially classified for the proposed zone being requested pursuant to the policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan and conditions have been met which would indicate the change is appropriate; Although this application does not satisfy Condition (a) above, it would appear from the policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan and conditions now in the area (see Condition (c) below) that the proposed B-1 zoning would be appropriate for the remaining easterly two-thirds of the block. The current zoning appears to reflect the land use concept of creating transitions in land use particularly between uses which are potentially quite dissimilar. The L-1, Light Industrial Zone, probably was seen as a buffer between commercial uses and, potentially residential uses, in the B-1 zone and heavy industrial uses such ,as those on the Paccar site on the east side of Garden Avenue. The Commercial Policies section (Section V.A. and V.B. ) of the March, 1986, Compendium to the Comprehensive Plan, Policy 3, states: "To improve access, planned clusters of commercial development should be encouraged and commercial strip areas should be discouraged. " Since the existing B-1 Zone is only 100 feet wide along Park Avenue, it could be argued that such a narrow half block strip would encourage strip commercial to develop and that by widening the B-i Zone here, there would be more opportunities for "planned clusters" of commercial development. The applicant is requesting rezoning the full width of the block, which in this case, is some 380 feet wide with the alley vacated. This width is greater than the length of many normal city blocks. Blocks in downtown Seattle, for example, are typically 240 feet square or 240 feet by 360 feet long (northern half of the Denny Regrade) . . Building and Zoninn=nepartment Preliminary Report the Hearing Examiner Public Hearing E&H Properties Page 4 Although it is desirable to increase the width of the existing B-1 Zone, the question remains as to whether or not there should be some land use buffer in addition to the 80 foot width of Garden Avenue. Whereas it probably would be desirable to maintain some land use buffer between Paccar and future commercial uses to the west (office and parking garage are proposed) , a narrow L-1 Zone would also not be conducive to the intent of the commercial policies since it would undoubtedly result in strip-like development. Probably the best solution would be to require some minimum setback distance between high density commercial uses, such as office, and potential dangerous uses such as the storage or production of explosive gases or liquids or from other extremely noisy or smelly nuisance type uses permitted in the H-1 Zone. The Comprehensive Plan defines "Heavy Industry" as: "An area intended for industrial uses such as manufacturing, assembly and processing of products, bulk handling of goods, large amounts of storage or warehousing, heavy trucking, or other industrial activities that, because of noise, odors, air pollution, safety considerations or size, are not compatible with residential, commercial or light industrial uses. However, all permissible heavy industrial uses must meet minimum community standards for environmental compatibility" (emphasis added) (pg. 29) . Staff believes that there may be sufficient opportunities at the Site Plan Review stage for the B-1 Zone to address these issues if they occur in that zone. Although Industrial Policy (Section V1.A.2) states that "Buffers should be placed between industrial districts and other land uses" the H-1 Zone is excluded from Site Plan Review (Section 4-738 (B) 1. Part of the problem right now is not knowing what Paccar intends to do on their site. Currently two 15,000 propane tanks exist some ± 150 feet east of the rezone site. These tanks are extremely volatile and are easy targets for terrorists since a single metal piercing bullet can set them off. It should also be noted that Renton and Boeing have been targeted by terrorist groups in the past. Renton Fire Department staff indicates that an explosion of these tanks could destroy most buildings within a greater mile radius of them. They advise that the safest approach would be to _ have these tanks located in the ground with a secondary containment system. In terms of potential classification to B-1, Staff note that the L-1 Zone does already allow commercial office uses. However, these are restricted to 25, 000 square feet or less. Also, a number of the service uses permitted in the B-1 zone are also permitted in the L-1 zone now so that there are a number of use similarities already. A number of conditions have occurred since the 1981 Northeast Renton Plan to suggest that the requested rezone is not completely inappropriate. This includes the rezone of Mother's Park, a 3.54 acre site (R-035-86) from H-1 to B-1 in 1986 as well as the Woodall Rezone of a 0.23 acres site at the corner of 6th Street and Park Avenue also from H-1 to B-1 in April of 1986 (R-088-85) . c. That since the last previous land use analysis of the area or zoning of the subject property, authorized public improvements, permitted private development or other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change; .Building and Zoning nepartment Preliminary Report the Hearing Examiner - Public Hearing E&H Properties Page 5 Currently, there are plans to develop major office complexes on the north side of 6th Avenue, and in 1986 a + 200, 000 sq. ft. office building was constructed in the H-1 Zone before such uses were required to be accessory or related to the manufacturing/industrial uses permitted in this zone. Also, the City is currently undertaking a North Renton Traffic Mitigation Study that is anticipating a densification of land uses in this area with a number of concomitant traffic/street improvements. The developer for this site (assuming their rezone request is granted) has agreed to bond for those indirectly attributable off- site improvements resulting from development of this site and the development occurring on it and under B-i zoning in addition to those traffic impacts that can be directly attributable to their proposed development scheme. These and other circumstances such as changes to the area zoning, public improvements, etc. indicate that the area has undergone "significant and natural change" that would have a bearing on the applicant's rezone request. Conclusion: Based upon the above discussion, Staff believe that the proposed rezone should be granted. At least one and possibly two of the rezone criteria listed in Section 4- 3014 (c) 1. have been met. Although we remain concerned about the potential conflicts that could occur from nuisance type uses in the H-1 Zone, immediately to the east, and question the wisdom of siting high densities of office workers near such uses, it is noted that the two zones (B-1 and H-1) would be separated by an 80 foot wide public right-of-way. Also, uses in the H-1 Zone may require a minimum 10 foot setback from- streets and B-i uses have a minimum 10 foot street setback, increasing to 30 feet for—buildings over 80 feet in height. The proposed building would have a 20 foot setback. Given the number of changes in the area since the last Land Use Review, it also seems appropriate to rezone this area now. Staff would also note parenthetically that as we continue to do away with transitional or buffer zones, such as the L-1 Zone, between our non-nuisance and nuisance zones, it , might be appropriate to consider site plan review for uses in the H-1 Zone to ensure that these nuisance type uses are sufficiently setback and screened so as not to adversely impact neighboring, non-industrial -uses. H. DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION: That the applicant's request to rezone approximately 3 .3 acres of property from L-1, Light Industrial, to B-1, Business Use, to allow for the future construction of a proposed multi-story ± 245,000 sq. ft. office building and a three-story parking garage be granted with the following conditions: 1. That the ERC mitigation measures be complied with prior to the issuance of any occupancy permits for the proposed office building; and 2. That the applicant work with Paccar to either relocate or underground the two 15, 000 gallon above grade liquid propane tanks located approximately 150 feet east of the site. • s..

HEARING EXAMINER Renton, WA. 98056 August 3, 1987 Fred Kaufman, Hearing Examiner City of Renton 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, WA. 98055 Re: Boeing proposal for additional space in North Renton Dear Mr. Kaufman; As a homeowner in North Renton, I am totally alarmed about adding any more traffic to the streets in the North Renton residential area. It is my understanding that the total number of personnel that could occupy these buildings is 3,600 ! ! ! I note that an overall traffic study will not be available until after your deliberations---I question that you can sincerely exer- cise your professional judgement without such a document. Should the decision-making process occur without such basic data, it makes it appear that a decision has already been made and the facts are not that important. It flies in the face of intelligence to think that the addition of such huge numbers of cars is appropriate for a area with somewhat circumscribed access. At some point responsible people would say "enough is enough"--the residents must be protected or compensated for infringement on the basic sanctity of their home. It occurs to me that citizens would have legal recourse if City officials fail to provide the rudiments of liveability, such as safety, clean air, freedom from noise and traffic and the provision of emergency services unimpeded by Boeing traffic jams. Any proposal that increases surface traffic is unacceptable. As long as politicians are deeply impressed with the projection of increased revenues, those revenues coupled with special assessments should be dedicated to non-surface movement solutions that do not impact the residents. • Yours truly, ita/Let-4-//e4-4-' "4"-A-Li-L) P.S. May I please be furnished Mary Ellen Hamblin with a copy of your decision?

At this time , I would like to formally present my proposal to • the City of Renton for a traffic study . North Renton is the historic industrial heart of the • City . Recently , the dramatic economic growth of the Boeing Commercial Airplane Company , is forcing major expenditures of capital to provide both manufacturing and office space . - E & H Properties is a major land owner in the area north of North 5th Street . I believe that a total area wide approach must . be taken to address the traffic problems in North Renton. My proposal is to fund a traffic study and utilize the firm of William Popp & Associates under the direction of the . Public Works Department to prepare the analysis . The ultimate goal is to' assess traffic impacts from the • construction not only on my property , but the total development potential. under the Comprehensive Plan and the present zoning . This information could provide the basis to create a traffic benefit assessment area that is equitable to all property owners . - • O E&H Enterprises • ❑Seventh Avenue Co. O Lind Building Co. 0 5th&Park Co. • b t. I 4 I NORTH RENTON TRAFFIC STUDY March 28, 1987 Page 2 I propose the study area be bounded on the west and southwest by the Cedar River , on the southeast by Bronson Way , on the east by I-405 , and on the north by Gene Coulon Beach Park (See attached map) . The study should also specifically address the following issues : o The role of Lake Washington Boulevard north of Park Avenue . o Enhancement of the Park Avenue Corridor north of North 4th Street as a major entrance to the City of Renton . This would include preliminary urban design themes for a streetscape . o The widening of Park Avenue North to five (5) lanes . o The reallignment of Garden Avenue North to eliminate the jog at North 8th Street . I will provide funds to William Popp and Associates in an amount not to exceed $35,000 for the payment of the traffic study with the specific understanding that the following conditions apply : 1 . If a special traffic benefit assessment area is established by the City of Renton , E & H Properties may apply the full cost of the traffic study to their designated proportionate cost share on the project of our choice . 2 . All projects proposed by E & H Properties may continue through the public hearing process for site plan approval and environmental review process subject to the provision of participation in the costs traffic benefit assessment area .- -- 1 r NORTH RENTON TRAFFIC STUDY • March 28 , 1987 Page 3 In addition , I recognize the immediate need for a traffic signal at the intersection Garden Avenue North and North 6th Street . I will totally advance the funds for this traffic signal (not to exceed $100 ,000) at the time of construction of my first building, if it can be credited to a traffic benefit assessment area , if one is created . Since I have previously agreed to contribute $20,000 in my site plan application for Garden Plaza , this credit will be a maximum of $80 , 000. I appreciate the opportunity to present my idea to the City of Renton . Sincerely , I;I:714, (%/ Eu ene I orback 1 ,p. ; t, 'it 'it, 2;'fT:'+t_ri', r avt,,.

Construction Period Problems This project will cause serious problems to traffic and utility service if not well scheduled and coordinated. As at the Main/Grady/Benson site, there are problems with staging, moving. materials to the site and utility trenching. Because E&H always gets their foundation permits prior to most of the utility design, the two projects here have a major problem because of interfering utilities that the City already owns thru the sites. � I 1 MEMO July 21 , 1987 Page 4 MY SUGGESTIONS Garden Plaza Construct sanitary sewer bypass on Park Ave. N. — and AC pave Park and 5th all work non—peak hour.

Bellevue,Washington 98004 206/454-5959 Mr . Don Erickson , Zoning Administrator City of Renton Building and Zoning Department 200 Mill Avenue South Renton , Washington 98055 RE: E & H PROPERTIES/ PARK PLAZA Dear Mr. Erickson: We appreciate the opportunity for early review of department comments concerning the Park Plaza project. I have reviewed each departmental comment very carefully with my consultants and I wish to submit my observations, comments, and project clarifications and modifications for the Environmental Review Committee to consider on Wednesday, July 22 , 1987 . 'Apparently , the eight copies of the project specific traffic study for Park Plaza that I had TRANSPO prepare were not distributed to the various departments. Roger Blaylock submitted these copies under separate cover letter on July 1 , 1987 . I am very disappointed that they were not distributed_ immediateiy instead of waiting 7weeks to be distributed wtt the revisions for Garden Plaza. I would therefore request that the ERC consider the traffic information directly at their meeting on the 22nd . After reading the various department comments concerning Park Plaza, I found myself frustrated because I observed that many of the suggested conditions were based on individual ' s and ` department ' s wishes that have not been established by adopted administrative, ERC , or City Council policies. In addition, some of the comments do not appear to be based on the proposal that was presented in our application. ❑E&H Enterprises ❑Seventh Avenue Co. ❑Lind Building Co. 0 5th&Park Co. Park Plaza ERC July 20, 1987 Page 2 The following observations, comments , and proposal modifications are in response to each of various City departmental comments : Police Department I have previously agreed to participate in the necessary area wide traffic improvement based on my proportionate fair share. Since the security of the 600 Building parking structure has been successful , I would propose providing similar lighting and signage . The security gate can not be located at the entrance to the garage because it would result in traffic congestion on the public streets. Both the office building and parking structure will we under the full control and administration of the Boeing Company . However , I will raise the issue of security gates and patrols . with the Boeing Company . Both of these issues are presently at Boeing ' s option. Fire Prevention Bureau We recognize that there will be a slight increase in aid responses ; however , the site is located where there will not be a need to relocate any public facilities or expand service areas. Design Engineering T am pleased to see the Design Engineering Division ' s comment that the "skybridge may have a major positive impact on the transportation system" . I definitely believe it is a POSITIVE feature . It will reduce motor vehicle/pedestrian conflicts. ' We intend to extend the sanitary sewer system and comply with the City standards on utility installation. Utility Engineering Comments are noted . We have engaged our civil engineer , J.R. Ewing , to comply with any necessary requirements. J 1 Park Plaza ERC July 20 , 1987 Page 3 Parks and Recreation We agree that the area involved in the project will be improved as a result of our efforts . Naturally shifting the development from heavy industrial to modern office buildings ,will significantly change the image of the City and area. Please keep in mind that this new building will be integrated with the main body of the Boeing complex . Furthermore , the Boeing Company will have full control of employee activities in this area, which will I am sure have to take in account its rules and regulations . In addition , SEPA g is quite clear , that E & H Properties must mitigate significant adverse environmental impacts associated with the project ro osal a not what may e po icy goa s. k ave ad repeated meetings with the Parks and Recreation Department to respond to both site specific and their community wide recreational wishes . Many of the goals outlined in the comments for the ERC were resolved with the Parks and Recreation Director . In our letter of July 15 , 1987 , I committed to creating a mini—plaza at the main east entrance to the building along with a roof top plaza/ eating area on the southwest corner of the parking structure. A large locker room (3 , 200 square feet) is being provided in the Garden Plaza Office Building . That oversized facility has been specifically planned to serve the entire complex and I do not see any need for , repetition. It also should be noted from our design that we have already volunteered to provide a covered linkage between the parking structure and the office building . Our future plans include provisions for covered linkages between the office buildings ' and parking garages . These linkages will not only provide ' protection from the weather , but significantly reduce the conflict between motor vehicles and pedestrians . Bike racks can be conveniently located for users ; however , their location must be integrated into the design of the building entrances. Preservation of the building ' s image is extremely important ; therefore , we propose locating all bike racks at side and secondary entrances. Please see attached a copy of Figure 8 that was presented in the environmental checklist as a scheme for berming along Park Avenue North. Three objectives were sought with the berming . First to create a pedestrian corridor along the street , while at the same time buffering the building and parking from the street . The third objective was to reduce the potential for jay walking between the parking structure and the office building. The site does not abut North 6th Street . Park Plaza ERC July 20, 1987 Page 4 Policy Development Setbacks : E & H Properties has previously submitted information concerning the issue of setbacks and number of parking spaces in correspondence dated July 15 , 1987 . IThe facts presented in both traffic studies by Transpo and , William E. Popp Associates do not recommend the widening of ;Park Avenue North. However , there is sufficient right-of-way ' on Park Avenue North for widening of the street to 5 lanes , if it is found necessary to widen the street. This issue has been raised repeatedly in past discussions with City officials and it was the consensus that most of the traffic mitigation should take place at the intersection of , Lake Washington Boulevard and Garden Avenue North because this is the only intersection in the area that functions at a 'Level of Service F. The study prepared by Transpo shows that only 3% of the impact can be attributed to the Park Plaza project . The City presently has an active program outlined in the Six Year Street Program adopted by the City Council in June to address the problem. The comment that the parking structure is too close to Park ,Avenue North is in error . The parking structure is set back 20 feet from the existing 78 feet of street right-of-way . 'There is absolutely no need for additional right-of-way on `\ Park Avenue North . If Garden Avenue was to be widened , it obviously will occur on the east side of the street where there are ugly , dirty industrial buildings. However , the primary reason to take right-of-way from the east side of the street is that eliminating the jog in the intersection of Garden Avenue North and North 8th Street would require that this southern segment be moved to the east to align with the existing northern segment . Specifically , the principle Boeing Company administration building precludes realigning the northern segment . Therefore , this will not require additional right- of way on the west side. Parking : A clear explanation of parking space calculation was included in the original submission on June 19, 1987 . It was presented as follows : Park Plaza ERC July 20, 1987 Page 5 "Parking Structure The parking structure will function as a joint parking facility for both Park Plaza and Garden Plaza. The parking structure proposed in the Park Plaza project contains approximately 1 ,000 parking spaces. The following is a breakdown of the required parking for both Garden Plaza and Park Plaza projects : REQUIRED PROVIDED NEEDED BY CODE ON-SITE OFF-SITE Park Plaza 701 110 591 Garden Plaza 1 , 335 988 347 Parking Garage 0 1 , 000 938 (Off-site) TOTAL 2 ,036 2 ,098 A total of 62 parking spaces is being provided in excess of the City standards of 5 parking spaces per 1 ,000 square feet of office space. " This was modified slightly with the revision to Garden Plaza to the following : REQUIRED PROVIDED NEEDED BY CODE ON-SITE OFF-SITE Park Plaza 701 110 591 Garden Plaza 1 , 327 991 ' 336 Parking Garage 0 1 , 000 927 (Off-site) TOTAL 2 ,036 2 , 101 Thus a surplus of 74 parking spaces is available at this time. However , the inclusion of a roof-top plaza/eating area will eliminate additional spaces. I find it extremely difficult to deal with unadopted policies . Chapter 22 states that 5 parking spaces per 1 ,000 square feet of office building must be provided. Park Plaza ERC July 20, 1987 Page 6 Since 1961 I have been in the business of developing building space in Renton. Until recently , the issue of whether the requirement was a maximum never occurred , the standard was always considered a minimum. The site approval review process is not the proper battle ground to decide the issue . The issue is clearly policy and should be handled by the policy making body of the City . Applying unadopted policies or tested interpretations to proposal while policy decision are pending is not only arbitary , but illegal . Only the City of Renton suffers under this type of operation . The image of the administration not only to developers , but citizens become confused and bureaucratic . The planning process must be promoted and funded to create a stable responsive framework in which either citizens or developers can live and work. H-1 Zoning and Parking : The issue of "is parking allowed in the H-1 Zone" has been raised . Again the intent and specifics of the entire municipal code must be considered . Even though the term "parking" is not specifically mentioned in the H-1 Zone (Section 4-713) , another section of the same chapter of the Municipal Code , Section 4-2204(3) (C) , states off-site parking can be provided in any zone except the R-1 and R-2 Zones . This is not an environmental issue . Landscaping : The caliper of individual plants is often not as critical as the actual size , either can be adjusted to provide adequate landscaping . Our intent has always been clear to provide an immediate streetscape that is pleasant to pedestrians. This can be planned on paper , but the ultimate decision rests with the City ' s landscaped architect in the field. Suggesting an increase in the landscaped setback along the southern property line of the parking structure is arbitrary. There are no code provisions. In addition , if one projects the potential development of the area between the parking garage and North 6th Street, we would be creating a narrow sliver of land that is located in perpetual shade. Skybridge : The skybridge issue has been referred directly to Mayor Shinpoch' s office. We agree that the issue must be resolved prior to public hearing . Park Plaza ERC July 20, 1987 Page 7 Traffic Engineering North Renton Traffic Area : I have previously agreed to submit my personal letter of commitment. If immediate traffic improvements are necessary based upon the significant adverse impacts of Park Plaza then they should be mitigated by actual improvements prior to occupancy . Specific Improvements : a. Garden Avenue North/Lake Washington Blvd . The project cost in the Six Year Street Program for this intersection improvement is $285 ,000 . Less than 3% of the impact is a result of the traffic from Park Plaza, while only slightly more than 3% is attributed to Garden Plaza. Yet , the Traffic Engineering Division wishes E & H Properties to fund 100% of the project . I submit that improvement to this intersection is a community responsibility. It is a major access to the city . It serves not only industrial users , but commercial , recreational , and residential users. The intersection functioned at a Level of Service E prior to improvement of Gene Coulon Park. If one looks back historically , it is probable that the intersection has never functioned better than a Level of Service E since the construction of I-405. ; In our research we have not found that a minimum Level of Service for the City has ever been adopted administratively or legislatively. In fact , a have found that the City Council adopted both a Comprehensive Plan and a policy to imp evel of erv1c F fe —Thhours in _lhe Gre River 'Va ey. a most frustrating situation on my part exists When there is neither consistency nor factual basis for decisions. b . North 6th Street/Garden Avenue North I have previously stated that I will agree to install a traffic signal at this intersection . Both of my traffic consultants see this intersection as critical and a direct impact of both proposed projects ; however , the figures do not substantiate my paying for the entire cost as mitigation under SEPA. The ERC should not invoke SEPA to obtain signalization. If SEPA is used , then credit should be allowed against the eventual charge assessed in the North Renton Benefit Assessment District. Park Plaza ERC July 20, 1987 Page 8 c . Widen Park Avenue to 5 lanes . Based upon the specific traffic studies provided with both project proposals the widening of Park Avenue North is not necessary as a result of associated impacts. The issue of widening should be addressed in the area-wide study considering all implications. Transpo ' s study specifically states on the diagram on page 22 that "these two driveways should either be aligned with each other , or north-to-west left turns should be prohibited . " We will so modify our plans to install a c-curb to prohibit this movement . d . Undergrounding We intend to comply with City code and underground those utilities, which technically can be accomplished . e. Skybridge The skybridge is shown to have a minimum clearance of 23 feet above the pavement. f . North 8th Street/Garden Avenue North E & H Properties does not control any of the property at that intersection. Realignment would require that theiCity condemn the property from the Boeing Company and Pac Car. E & H Properties believes this is an area-wide issue for realignment and signalization. Transportation Management Plan: The Blaylock Company is presently working on a Transportation Management Plan for the Garden Plaza project . However , a very important point should be raised as the Transportation Management Plan relates to the Benefit Assessment District , how much credit or actual cash will be given back Ito property " owners who have successful TMP programs. Traffic Impact Analysis: Provided on July $; 1987. Park Plaza ERC July 20, 1987 Page 9 Drop Off Lane : Installation of a drop off lane , along with the removal of parking on the east side of the building would only add confusion and traffic congestion on Park Avenue North. The surface parking lot will provide a safe area to turn into and drop people off very close to the main building entrance, while someone dropped at the curb would have to walk 75 feet . In addition , a wide pedestrian access to the building entrance from Park Avenue North would have to be provided. This convenient walkway would add to the potential of people jaywalking from the building to the parking garage. Thank you for the opportunity to submit our comments .

Box 598 Bellevue, WA 98004 RE: Rezone for Garden Plaza, ECF-013-87, R-016-87 This letter is to inform you that the Environmental Review Committee completed their review of the environmental impacts of your rezone application request for property located between Park Avenue North and Garden Avenue North between North 5th and 6th Streets. The Committee on June 10, 1987, decided that your project may be issued a Determination of Non-Significance - Mitigated with the following conditions: 1. That sufficient recreational and office user amenities be provided both on site and off site to address the lack of such facilities in the immediate area. These shall . be provided to the satisfaction of the Parks Department. 2. That the applicant participate in the North Renton Traffic Study. Because the Environmental Review Committee imposed specific mitigation measures rather than issue a Determination of Significance, there is a required fifteen (15) day comment period during which comments are solicited from various agencies, jurisdictions or individuals who may have an interest in the Committee's decision. The comment period will end June 29, 1987. Following the end of the comment period, the City will finalize it's determination unless comments received require a reevaluation. Following the finalization of the Determination, there is a required 14 day appeal period. Appeals are made to the City's Hearing Examiner. In addition, by the end of the comment period, we should be able to establish a tentative public hearing date before the Hearing Examiner for your rezone application. 200 Mill Avenue South - Renton, Washington 98055 - (206) 235-2540 .

LEAD AGENCY: City of Renton, Building and Zoning Department The City of Renton Environmental Review Committee has determined that it does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43 .21C. 030 (2) (c) . This decision was made after review of an expanded environmental checklist and preliminary site plan, on file with the lead agency. Conditions were imposed as mitigation measures by the Environmental Review Committee under their authority of Section 4-2822 (D) Renton Municipal Code (see attached sheet) . These conditions are necessary to mitigate environmental impacts identified during the environmental review process. This DNS is issued under WAC 197-11-340. The lead agency will not act on this proposal for fifteen (15) days from June 25, 1987. Any interested party may submit written comments which must be submitted by 5: 00 p.m. , July 10, 1987, in order to be considered. This Determination may be appealed by 5: 00 p.m. on July 10, 1987. Any appeal must be submitted in writing stating clearly the reasons for revising the Determination and must be accompanied by a non-refundable $75. 00 filing fee.

Erickson, AICP 206/454-5959 Zoning Administrator City of Renton Building and Zoning Department 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, Washington 98055 RE: Garden Plaza Rezone and Site Plan Environmental Approvals , ECF-013-87 , R-016-87 , and SA-017-87 Dear Mr . Erickson: An issue has arisen that relates to the proposed mitigating measure #4 in your April 15, 1987 correspondence concerning Garden Plaza. The measure specifically calls for the preparation of a Traffic Management System plan with Metro with the aim of reducing total vehicular trips on site by a minimum of ten (10) percent. Our concern is that , if available parking remains at the rate of 5 parking spaces per 1 ,000 square feet, we will defeat the purpose of the condition. Since the clear intent of the Environmental Review Committee is to discourage the use of single occupancy vehicles, we would request that, as a mitigating measure , the ERC also reduce the amount of required parking by ten ( 10) per cent. • Since your decision would result in significant modifications not only to the site plan design, but also to the traffic study, we would appreciate your prompt attention.

I do agree that possible widening of Park Avenue North might modify the pending site plan. However , I would request that the Environmental Review Committee separate the environmental issues that would deal solely with the site plan and not the rezone. I request that the rezone application (R-016-87) continue to public hearing based on our written commitment to Mr. Richard Houghton, dated March 28, 1987 , to provide the North Renton Traffic Benefit Area Study. To assure the Environmental Review Committee that we are progressing on the Garden Plaza Project , I offer the following specific comments to each of the fourteen ( 14) proposed conditions: ❑E&H Enterprises ❑Seventh Avenue Co. ❑Lind Building Co. ❑5th&Park Co. !, Donald K.

The general language /' �U4 "all" could be interpreted to mean every ounce of soil . ) 61 ' ,+� 2. GLARE My architect , Curtis Beattie , is preparing the requested glare analysis. 3. RECREATION Based upon a preliminary agreement worked out between j Mr. John Webley , Parks and Recreation Director , and Mr. R � Roger Blaylock, we will contribute funds to the Cedar _ River Community Center for either operation or equipment at the time of occupancy of the office buildings. V`0 ,,, Mothers Park, which will be eliminated with the ..4142/;,7- rf =- construction of this project , has been a community recreational facility for many years. It has never functioned as a neighborhood park. Both Jones and °04iy' Liberty Parks have provided the necessary neighborhood op,,,t recreational amenities for the north Renton residential f � f area. % I4 4. TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM it y. d '� ��`} � Roger Blaylock is working directly with Carol Thompson /10, _ and Eileen Kadesh of METRO to develop a Transportation Management Plan with the specific aim of reducing the total new vehicular trips by ten (10) per cent to reach 0 /1 the goal of the Environmental Review Committee. r Donald K. Erickson Garden Plaza/ECF-013-87 May 28, 1987 Page 3 5. GARDEN AVE. N./LAKE WASHINGTON BOULEVARD According to discussions with the Public Works Department, we will present a plan for necessary improvements to this intersection by our traffic engineer , Mr. William Popp . I would request that the intent of the condition be clarified by the ERC, especially when recent City Council action has limited the use of the northern leg of Lake Washington Boulevard to a neighborhood residential collector street. It appears to me based upon the information presented in the initial application that the ERC is requesting that I mitigate impacts that do not directly relate to my project . 6 . NORTH 6TH AVE. /GARDEN AVE. NORTH In my letter of March 28, 1987 , I agreed to advance the necessary funds for the installation of the traffic signal at North 6th Avenue and Garden Avenue North. Recognizing that the Garden Plaza Building represents 20 per cent of the traffic volumes , I proposed direct contribution of $20,000 with the remaining potential f $80,000 in cost to be credited to my future buildings , tip.

The parameters of the study need to be finalized before I can authorize continuation of the work. 7 . UNDERGROUNDING ALONG PARK AVENUE NORTH I have contacted Mr. Mel Wick, Operation Manager of Puget Power in Renton , to discuss this condition. Since the electrical transmission line carries a minimum of 55KV it can not be undergrounded. I a i r1. I . - , aI 4 Donald K. Erickson Garden Plaza/ECF-013-87 May 28, 1987 Page 4 8. STREET LIGHTING PLANS We will comply with City Code requirements at the time of building permit and utility plans review. 9. WIDENING PARK AVENUE NORTH I have directed Mr . Popp to analyze this condition. Since we control only one side of the block between North 5th and North 6th Streets , I suggest any action be delayed until an L.I .D. is formed. The widening of Park Avenue North is an area-wide problem and other property owners in the area should be included. We will sign a no protest agreement for the formation of an L.I .D . at this time. I have previously suggested that this design issue be addressed as part of the North Renton Traffic Benefit Area Study. 10. NORTH 5TH STREET CHANNELIZATION We agree to provide the necessary channelization. 11 . DROP OFF LANE/NORTH 6TH STREET I have directed Mr . Curt Beattie , my architect, to analyze the design implications. My concerns include (1) reduction of plaza area, and (2) traffic congestion. Please note that METRO specially discourages drop off lanes because of problems re-entering the traffic flow. If the drop off lane is found to be necessary , it can be constructed on an easement that we will provide. 12. NORTH 6TH STREET/ PARK AVENUE NORTH We are prepared to installed necessary modifications to the traffic signal controler . I have referred the design issue specifically to my traffic consultant , Mr. William Popp. Donald K. Erickson Garden Plaza/ECF-013-87 May 28 , 1987 Page 5 13 . HAUL ROUTES FOR SPOILS We will comply with this requirement and propose specific haul routes and a street clean up program as part of the building permit process and have both the Public Works and Police Departments approve the proposal . 14. NORTH RENTON TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT STUDY I have previously agreed to fund a North Renton Traffic Study. I have not received a formal approval and a scope of work from the City . As soon as the scope of work is provided, we shall immediately engage a traffic engineering consultant to commence the study. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

As I mentioned to you on the phone on April 9th, the Committee did not feel it would be appropriate to approve your site plan approval application at this time as the street widening improvements being sought for the rezone would likely require some redesign of the proposed six-story, 212,000 sq. ft., office building. 1. That all soils to be removed from the site be first tested for contamination and if found to test positive in this regard, that a disposal plan be developed that is acceptable to both the Department of Public Works and King County Health Department; 2. That prior to submitting for site plan approval the issuance of a building permit the applicant diagram the extent of the visible glare (30 deg.s or less above the horizon) during the hours of 7AM, 8AM, 9AM, 12AM, 4PM, 5PM, and 6PM on December 22nd, March 21st, and September 21st; 3. That sufficient recreational and office user amenities be provided both on and off site to address the lack of such facilities in the immediate area.

Erickson, AICP Zoning Administrator • DKE:3702Z e{ 3602Z BUILDING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT THRESHOLD DETERMINATION STAFF REPORT APRIL 1, 1987 BACKGROUND: ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST: ECF-013-87 APPLICATION NO. : R-016-87, SA-017-87 APPLICANT: E&H Properties DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: Applications to: 1) rezone approximately 3.3 acres of property from L-1, Light Industrial, to B-1, Business Use, and 2) site plan approval to allow the construction of a six-story, 212,000 sq. ft. office building and subterranean parking area together with a three-story parking garage on a 3.62 acre site. LOCATION OF PROPOSAL: Located between Park Ave. North and Garden Ave. North between North 5th and North 6th Street. SITE AREA: 3.62 acres. ISSUES: What impacts will approximately 850 new office workers have on this portion of North Renton in terms of traffic, services, and future land use development patterns? Are there sufficient recreational and service amenities in the area to accomodate a major influx of new office workers and should there be additional user amenities (lunch rooms, exercize rooms, etc.) provided on site? Could the proposed refective coated building create unwanted visual glare that could adversely impact motorists on adjacent or nearby roads or residents in the nearby multiple density zoned residential area? Have sufficient measures been taken to protect users of the underground parking garage and have above ground portions been visually treated in a way that is appropriate to the B-1 Zone? ANALYSIS: Because the traffic improvements proposed for this development will likely require the re- design of the proposed six-story office building and three-story parking garage associated with it, it is recommended that this application address only those general land use issues and their impacts at this time. Thus, we will deal in our recommendations with the non-project aspects of this proposal only now. RECOMMENDATION: 1. That all soils to be removed from the site be first tested for contamination and if found to test positive in this regard, that a disposal plan be developed that is acceptable to both the Department of Public Works and King County Health Department; 1 BUILDING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT THRESHOLD DETERMINATION, STAFF REPORT E&H PROPERTIES APRIL 1, 1987 PAGE 2 2.

SEP cEgO MEMORANDUM TO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW COMMITTEE FROM: BROOKE OWEN, RENTON POLICE DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: PROPOSED PARKING GARAGE This development will increase calls for police service due to the parking structures. Parking garages and underground parking areas can be very unsafe places. It can be anticipated that the primary crime problem in this development will be thefts from cars and thefts of cars. A rise in exposings and attacks on women in the parking structures can be anticipated also. The proposed structure is in the police district where we have the largest number of reported cases of indecent exposure and indecent liberties . • This impact must be mitigated by some type of security system. Neighboring towns have successfully deterred crime in their garages by a variety of means. These include, but are not limited to, surveillance cameras, security patrols, security intercom systems, and security gate systems. Before approving the site plan, the police department needs to know what king of security system is planned for the parking areas. • ff i / IVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST REVIEW S -T REVIEWING DEPARTMENT: ecur'IC DATE CIRCULATED: MARCH 5, 1987 COMMENTS DUE: MARCH 19, 1987 ECF - 013- - 87 APPLICATION NO(s).

In conjunction with this , a three level parkiny structure will be built behind the building and situated mid-block between the existing Park 50U Building and Garden Street. The new parkiny structure inteyrated on the basement and plaza levels, with the new proposed office building, will accommodate over 1 ,200 stalls. This parking tacility will consolidate required parking for the Park 500 Building in addition to handling the new Garden Plaza requirements. Access to both buildings is from the plaza level as well as by skybridye from the third parking l vel . Garden Plaza is also served directly from the basement via building elevators. This development is proposed in conjunction with a rezone application to rezone the eastern two-thirds of the block from L-1 to B-1 consistent with that of the eastern one-third of the block . The present zone line runs north/south approximately nine feet behind the existing Park 50U Building and transversing through the proposed Garden Plaza Building . The present character of the area is moving away from manufacturing and into support services. A rezone of the property will classify the full block as B-1 is in conformance with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The project is buffered by landscape setbacks on all street fronts . Around the base of the office building lawn gently slopes up to the building from a low (sitting height) retaining wall undulating along the sidewalk . Street trees are provided on site to increase the urban character of the project and diffuse reflected light from the building . 0n the eastern and southwestern faces, a denser landscape treatment is used to buffer pedestrian areas. Throughout the project pedestrian seating alcoves are provided for public as well as tenant benefit. In addition a substantial trellised plaza is provided on the northwest corner of the parking structure with complete exposure to morning and afternoon sun and views to the west down 6th Avenue. The upper parking level is further proposed to have precast planters for a generous spacing of trees to provide a similar visual break-up of parking as is provided on grade. The building is sheathed in reflective glass picking up the continuity of the existing Park 5UU Building on the back and sides, but being further broken down in scale toward the f,.ont through an undulation of the wall plane and a stepping of the facade. This is also accentuated by solid painted parapet and soffit bands which provide a visual tie with the concrete frame of the parking structure.

SHINPOCH MAYOR February 12, 1987 Roger Blaylock 10717 N.E. 4th St. , Suite 9 Bellevue, Wa. 98004 • SUBJECT: GARDEN PLAZA/PRELIMINARY PROPOSAL Dear Mr. Blaylock: Thank you for your letter of February 6, 1987 regarding the submittal of your application on February 17, 1987. Since there is so little time between your preliminary submission and the time you intend to submit your complete application, I don't believe the kinds of comments that I saw coming forth would be of much benefit to you now. You now obviously are not in a position to respond to these comments since it would appear that the design of the building has progressed to a point that substantial modifications could be costly. This obviously negates the intent of an early submission while issues such as siting, massing and circulation are still relatively fluid and easily addressed. I have, however, circulated your letter (and attachments) to the Environmental Review Committee members and notified them that they or their staff were welcome to attend your application conference on Tuesday, February 17th. rr, uly, I ` ,,,/ a .

Don Erickson , Zoning Administrator City of Renton Building and Zoning Department 200 Mill Avenue South Renton , Washington 98055 RE : GARDEN PLAZA/PRELIMINARY PROPOSAL Dear Mr . Erickson: First let me apologize for not providing a reduced copy of the proposed design for the Garden Plaza Building . Based on our December 30th meeting I had originally intended to submit it the first week in January . Several site plan redesigns modify the orientation of the building both for aesthetic and design appeal and for enhanced pedestrian areas. Please find attached the site plan. It is my understanding from the meeting that the intent of an early preliminary submission was to obtain only very general comments concerning the site plan . A total application will be submitted on February 17 . I would also appreciate receiving any comments concerning significant environmental issues. A traffic study has been prepared. Thank you for your assistance . Sincerely , c------Ce-re-9-713 61 cv:Tr-- -. Roger J .
