August 4, 1997 • CITY OF RENTON • AUG 0 41997 Hearing Examiner City of Renton RECEIVED 200 Mill Avenue South CITY CLERK'S OFFICE Renton, WA 98055 RE: Request for Appeal to Hearing Examiner Public Storage Pick-Up and Delivery LUA-97-080, SA, ECF SW 39th Street& Raymond Avenue SW, Renton Dear Reader: I am writing on behalf of the Puget Sound Blood Center(PSBC) to request an appeal to the Hearing Examiner regarding certain findings identified in the City of Renton's Determination of Non-Significance (Mitigated) and its Environmental Review&Administrative Land Use Action- Report& Decision (dated July 15, 1997) for the Public Storage Pick-Up and Delivery project. PSBC is the owner of the existing building which is located due east of the proposed new building at 501 SW 39th Street. We have reviewed the documents noted above and believe that an error in judgment with respect to the proposed siting of the building and the layout of the required parking has occurred. We have the following written comments: Inadequate Parking On East Side of New Building Our greatest concern relates to the number of parking stalls which the applicant has identified on the east side of the proposed new building and the location of the remaining stalls on the site. The current design shows that the"retail" entry and storefront is located at the northeast corner of the building. The project description/background notes there will be thirty (30) "viewing areas" available for customers to come and view their stored items. It is also our understanding that packaging materials and supplies will also be sold to customers at this location. Given the potential for 30+ visitors competing for approximately 17 parking stalls, it is our position that the applicant's visitors may frequently fully utilize the available proposed stalls and will then utilize the next-closest available spots, which are located on PSBC property due east of the applicant's site. Poor EastNVest Parking Stall Allocation At present, approximately 29 stalls will be available on the west side of the building for the use of the 4 to 5 employees which the applicant notes will be working on the site at any given time. We must assume, then, that the remaining 24 or 25 stalls on the west side of the building will be used for:the storage of the applicants vehicles and equipment. We assume this because it is highly unlikely that any visitors/customers will park in the west side parking lot and then walk all the way around this massive structure to enter at the east storefront 1800 NINTH AVENUE, SUITE 1120 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 FAX 206-389-7940 TELEPHONE 206-389-7910/7920 Desired Modifications To Proposed Plan • We believe there are a number of good design options available to the applicant which will satisfactorily address our concerns. 1. The building could be relocated farther to the west on the site. This would allow more of the required parking stalls to be shifted to the east side of the building, where they will be more fully utilized. 2. The building could be reduced in area to allow for additional parking stalls on the east side or stalls on the north or south sides of the new building. The scale of the proposed structure is massive, and no internal connection between the two east and west parking areas is proposed. If such a connection were made, or parking along the north or south sides of the building was made available, then sufficient, proximate parking on the east side of the building for the applicant's customers/visitors could be provided. We appreciate the applicant's proposed west side location for the truck entrances into the building, work vehicle parking, and the detention pond. We fully endorse the joint site access direction encouraged by Policy LU-212.21. In this case, however, we anticipate that our limited parking will be utilized by the applicant's customers because an inadequate number of stalls have been located on the east side of the applicant's proposed building. Please require the applicant to satisfactorily mitigate the impact of the additional traffic visiting their site. This can be accomplished by providing additional customer/visitor parking stalls proximate to the northeast entry. We respectfully request the Cityof Renton's reconsideration of the proposed parking P Y q P P P layout/building siting of this project. Given the concurrent 15 day comment and appeal period, we have also transmitted a similar letter with our written comments to the Environmental Review Committee today. Please do not hesitate to write me or call me at(206) 389-7920 should you need any additional information.

We have reviewed the 7/15/97 Environmental Review Committee (ERC) document and believe that there is an error in law with respect to the proposed transportation mitigation fee. We offer the following written comments: Determination of Transportation Fee We,have no disagreement with the calculation of the fee per the ITE manual. However, per my discussions with Neil Watts of Renton Public Works, a prior traffic mitigation fee was associated with the subject property for development of a building immediately to the south of the subject property. Subsequently, Mr. Watts also stated that a credit for this mitigation fee was given to the adjacent property owner. Mr. Watts stated that the fee is associated with the building and not a property. We are writing this last-minute appeal to preserve our property rights. The value of the prior mitigation fee was included within the purchase price when we acquired the property in 1987. We object to the credit being given to another property owner. Also, in July 1996, Sabey Corporation and the City of Renton reached an agreement for traffic mitigation fees including the subject property (see attached letter). We request a hearing to further present facts and legal issues pertaining to this issue. Sincerely, SAB Y ORPO ION John W.
