Bellevue, WA 98004
RE: Project Name: Duvall Avenue NE
Tax Parcel No: 516970-0092
Dear Mr. Hsiao:
As you likely are aware,the City of Renton is proceeding with the Duvall Avenue NE Project. As part of the
project,the City needs to purchase a part of the property and/or certain property rights related to the
property located at 4637 NE Sunset Blvd, Renton and identified as King County Assessor's tax parcel number
516970-0092.A copy of the map or"Right of Way Plan"is attached.
By law the City must pay for the property and/or property rights acquired, unless it is donated to the City.The
purpose of this letter to explain to you the basis for the City's offer in order to reach an agreement with you
regarding the purchase of the property needed for this project.
In those cases where property rights being acquired involve a payment greater than $10,000 and less
than $25,000, the City administratively establishes the amount offered. This administrative offer is
based on market research performed by a person having sufficient understanding of the local real
estate market. You have the right to request the City appraise your property any time prior to
accepting the offer. An administrative offer of$15,400.00 is being made for your property or property
rights. This offer consists of:
• $9,270.00 for 309 SF of land in Right of Way Easement
• $6,115.20 for 637 SF of land in Temporary Construction Easement
The basis for this offer is contained in the attached report. Payment for the property and/or property rights
will be made available to you approximately 30 to 45 days after you accept the City's offer,provided that
there are no delays in closing the transaction.

You may wish to employ a professional appraiser or realtor to evaluate the City's offer. If you do so,we
suggest that you employ a well-qualified evaluator so that the evaluation report will be useful to you in
deciding whether to accept the City's offer.The City will reimburse up to$750.00 of your evaluation costs
upon submission of the bills or paid receipts.
Please understand that every effort will be made to come to an agreement regarding this offer. However, if
mutual agreement cannot eventually be reached through a voluntary negotiation,the City acting in the public
interest, may use its right of eminent domain to acquire the property rights for the public use. In conformity
with the Washington State Constitution and laws,the City's legal counsel will file a condemnation suit to
obtain a"Court Order of Public Use and Necessity",and a trial will be held to determine the just
compensation to be paid for the property and property rights acquired. This action is taken to ensure your
rights as an individual property owner and the rights of all City of Renton's taxpayers are equally protected.
If there is any personal property presently located on the property being acquired by the City that will need to
be moved, however the City will reimburse the owner for the cost of moving it through the Relocation
Assistance program.
We have attempted by this letter to provide a concise statement of our offer.We hope the information will
assist you in reaching a decision. Please feel free to direct any questions you may have to the City's
representative from RES Group Northwest,Sonja Davis(425)577-2184.We look forward to working with you
and we would appreciate a response to this offer at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,

(the "Third Party Offer") from any Person who is not a party to this
Agreement (the "Third Party") to purchase all or a portion of the Selling
Member's Membership Interest (the "Offered Interest"), and the Selling
Member desires to accept the Third Party Offer, then the Selling Member
shall notify in writing all of the other Members of the Company (the
"Remaining Members") of the identity of the Third Party and all of the
terms and conditions of the Third Party Offer.
(ii) The Remaining Members shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
purchase the Offered Interest at the same purchase price and upon
substantially the same terms and conditions as are contained in the Third
Party Offer. Each Remaining Member shall have the option to purchase
such Remaining Member's proportionate share of the Offered Interest, and
a Remaining Member's proportionate share shall be equal to the ratio that
such Remaining Member's Profits Interest bears to the total Profits
Interests outstanding other than the Selling Member's Interest. Each
Remaining Member's option to purchase shall be exercisable by giving
written notice to the Selling Member and the Remaining Members within
thirty (30) days after the Selling Member gives notice of the Third Party
Offer. If any Remaining Member fails to exercise the option to purchase
such Remaining Member's proportionate share of the Offered Interest,
then the other Remaining Members who are exercising their options (the
"Exercising Members") shall have the right by giving written notice to the
Offering Member and the other Exercising Members, within fifteen (15)
days after the expiration of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period, to
purchase such remaining portion of the Offered Interest in proportion to
the ratio that each such Exercising Member's Profits Interest bears to the
total Profits Interests outstanding of all those Exercising Members who are
also exercising their further options under such subsequent fifteen (15) day
period, or as they may otherwise agree among themselves. The options
under this Section 6.1(c) shall be enforceable only if the Remaining
Members agree to purchase all of the Offered Interest. In such a case, the
sales pursuant to the exercise of such options shall be made within ninety
(90) days after the Selling Member gives notice of the Third Party Offer.
(iii) If the Remaining Members fail to exercise their respective options to
purchase all of the Offered Interest within the thirty (30) and fifteen (15)
{PSN\K0523167.3) 14
day periods described above in Section 6.1(c)(ii), then the Selling Member
may, notwithstanding Section 6.1(a), but subject to the prohibitions of
Section 6.3, sell all of the Offered Interest to the Third Party on the same
terms and conditions as are contained in the Third Party Offer, provided

Account balances for all periods.

with the liquidation of the Company or otherwise), the value of such assets shall be adjusted
pursuant to the Regulations under Code Section 704(b) and such assets shall be distributed at
their respective fair market values. Furthermore, each Member's Capital Account shall be
adjusted to reflect what such Member's Capital Account would be if the Company were to sell
all of such assets at their respective fair market values and allocated the Profits or Losses among
the Members in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. ,.
SECTION 9.4-FINAL ACCOUNTING.
Each Member shall be furnished with a statement reviewed by the Company's
accountants, which shall set forth the Profits and/or Losses generated upon the sale or exchange

Company's proceeds received from the sale or exchange of its properties; any revaluations of
Company property; the assets and liabilities of the Company; and the amount distributed or
distributable to each Member, as of the date of the Liquidation. Upon compliance with the
foregoing distribution plan, the Members shall cease to be such, and the Managing Members
and/or the Trustee-in-Liquidation if no Managing Member serves, shall execute and cause to be
filed a Certificate of Dissolution of the Company and any and all other documents necessary

ARTICLE X--MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 10.1 - GOVERNING LAW.

provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
State of Washington.
{PSN\K0523167.3) 20
SECTION 10.2—COUNTERPARTS.
This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one agreement, and the signature of any
party to any counterpart shall be deemed to be a signature to, and may be appended to, any other
counterpart.
SECTION 10.3 - INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.
(a) The undersigned Members understand (i) that the Membership Interests
evidenced by this Operating Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, the Washington Securities Act or any other state securities laws (the "Securities Acts")
because the Company is issuing these Membership Interests in reliance upon the exemptions
•
from the registrations requirements of the Securities Acts providing for issuance of securities not
involving a public offering, (ii) that the Company has relied upon the fact that the Membership
Interests are to be held by each Member for investment, and (iii) that exemption from
registrations under the Securities Acts would not be available if the Membership Interests were
acquired by a Member with a view to distribution.
(b) Accordingly, each Member hereby confirms to the Company that such Member is
acquiring the Membership Interests for such own Member's account, for investment and not with
a view to the resale or distribution thereof. Each Member agrees not to transfer, sell or offer for
sale any portion of the Membership Interests unless there is an effective registration or other
qualification relating thereto under the Securities Act of 1933 and under any applicable state
securities laws or unless the holder of Membership Interests delivers to the Company an opinion
of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such registration or other qualification under such
Act and applicable state securities laws is not required in connection with such transfer, offer or
sale. Each Member understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the
Membership Interests or to assist such Member in complying with any exemptions from
registration under the Securities Acts if such Member should at a later date wish to dispose of the
Membership Interest. Furthermore, each Member realizes that the Membership Interests are
unlikely to qualify for disposition under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 unless such
Member is not an "affiliate" of the Company and the Membership Interest has been beneficially
owned and fully paid for by such Member for at least two years. •

any other jurisdiction in which the Company does, or proposes to do, business, and cause the

10.4 shall not prejudice or affect the rights of Members to approve certain amendments to the
Agreement pursuant to Article VII hereof.

(iii) The balance, if any, shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in
proportion to their respective Profits Interests.

fiscal year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic .
risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse
Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).
{PSN\K0523167.3} 11-4
(b) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other
period shall be specially allocated among the Members pro rata in proportion to their ratio for
sharing Profits or Losses for the taxable year. The "excess nonrecourse liabilities" (as defined in
Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)) shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in proportion to their
respective Profits Interests.
(c) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Company Agreement, or of this Section 2, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain
during any Company taxable year, each Member shall be allocated items of Company income
and gain for that year equal to that Member's share of the net decrease in Company Minimum
Gain, as determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the minimum gain chargeback would cause a distortion of the economic agreement
of the Members as set forth in Article III of the Operating Agreement, and it is not expected that
the Company will have sufficient other income to correct the distortion, the Managing Members
shall be authorized to request the Internal Revenue Service for a waiver of the minimum gain
chargeback requirement, as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(4). This Section 2.2(c) is
intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section
1.704-2(f) and (g) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. To the extent permitted by
such Section of the Regulations and for purposes of this Section 2.2(c) only, each Member's
Excess Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to this
Section 2.2 with respect to such taxable year and without regard to any net decrease in Member
Minimum Gain during such taxable year.
(d) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, or of this Section 2.2 except Section 2.2(c), if there is a net decrease in Member
Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company taxable year,
each Person who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member
Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be
specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary,
subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Member's share of the net decrease in Member
Minimum Gain. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and (f)(5). This Section 2.2(d) is intended to comply with the
Member Minimum Gain chargeback requirement in such.Section of the Regulations and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.2(d), each Member's
Excess Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to this
Section 2.2 with respect to such taxable year, other than allocations pursuant to Section 2.2(c)
hereof.
(e) Qualified Income Offset. If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments,
allocations, or distributions described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-
1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially
allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required
by the Regulations, the Excess Capital Account Deficits created by such adjustments,
allocations, or distributions as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this
Section 2.2(e) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Member would have Excess Capital
Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in Sections 2.1(a) and (b) of this Tax
Appendix have been tentatively made as if this Section 2.2(e) were not in this Tax Appendix.
{PSN\K0523167.3} II-5
(f) Gross Income Allocation. If any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end
of any Company taxable year which is in excess of the sum of(i) the amount such Member is
obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such
Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of
Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially
allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as
possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 2.2(f) shall be made only if and to
the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all
other allocations provided for in this Section 2.2 have been made as if this Section 2.2(f) and
Section 2.2(e)hereof were not in this Tax Appendix.
(g) Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent.an adjustment to the adjusted tax
basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required,
pursuant to the Regulations to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the
amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the
adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and
such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the
manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of
the Regulations.
SECTION 3 - CURATIVE ALLOCATIONS.
The allocations set forth in Section 2.2 of this Tax Appendix (the "Regulatory
Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the
intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset
either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership
income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 3. Therefore, notwithstanding Section 2 .
of this Tax Appendix, (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Managing Members shall
make such offsetting special allocations in whatever manner they determine appropriate so that,
after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member's Capital Account balance is, to the
extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the
Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated
pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Tax Appendix. In exercising their discretion under this Section 3,
the Managing Members shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 2.
SECTION 4- SPECIAL RULES.
(a) Restatement of Book Value. In accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the Managing Members may, upon the occurrence of the events specified in such
Section of the Regulations, revalue the Company's property and assets (including intangible
assets such as goodwill) as well as the Members' Capital Accounts.
(b) Prorations. For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items
allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a daily,
monthly, interim closing of the books, or other basis, as determined by the Managing Members
using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.
{PSN\K0523167.3} II-6
(c) Allocations Among Classes. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all
Profits and Losses allocated to the Members as a group, or among a class of Members as a group,
shall be allocated among them in proportion to their respective Profits Interests.
SECTION 5 -TAX ALLOCATIONS: CODE SECTION 704(C).
(a) In General. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations
thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the
capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to
take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for
federal income tax purposes and its initial Book Value (computed in accordance with Section
1(a) of this Tax Appendix).
(b) Devaluation. If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to
Section 1(a) of this Tax Appendix, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction
with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such
asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code
Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.
(c) Elections. Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations pursuant to
Code Section 704(c) shall be made by the Managing Members in their sole and absolute
discretion provided such elections and decisions conform to the Regulations. Allocations
pursuant to this Section 5 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not
affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or
share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement.
SECTION 6 -TAX ELECTION.
In the event of a transfer of all or part of an Interest of a Member, or upon the distribution
of cash or other property to a Member, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, elect
pursuant to Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code to adjust the basis of the Company's
assets. The determination to make such election shall be within the absolute discretion of the

Re: Duvall Avenue NE
Tax Parcel Number:5169700092
Property Address:4637 NE Sunset Blvd, Renton,WA
Dear Property Owner:
The City of Renton has been developing the Duvall Avenue NE Project.The project consists of a roadway
improvement project that will improve traffic and public safety along Duvall Avenue NE,a four-lane, high
volume arterial. The project will repave the road, install center medians with landscaping, and complete the
existing patchwork of curbs/gutters/sidewalks for a consistent streetscape.
The majority of the new improvements will be constructed within the existing City right-of-way but for a small
number of properties the City of Renton will require additional property and/or temporary easements to
construct the new improvements.We have determined it will be necessary to acquire a small portion of your
property and/or temporary construction easement for this project.
In that regard,the City would like to introduce you to those firms that are working with the City on the project.
The firm providing the overall engineering design is Parametrix.Additionally, RES Group Northwest,an
independent real estate consultant to the City will be reaching out to you to discuss the acquisition.
The City of Renton is committed to working closely with you to fully understand your concerns and provide the
appropriate assistance. A representative from RES Group Northwest will be contacting you in the next few
weeks to set up appointments to meet with you and to provide you with an opportunity to discuss specific
information regarding the project impact to your property.
If you have any questions before that time,or if you anticipate that we would have any problem contacting you,
please call Sonja Davis, RES Group Northwest at(425)577-2184,or me at City of Renton at(425)430-7303.

Date Activities
11/9/19 Parcel assigned to Sonja Davis, Senior Acquisition Agent, RES Group NW
3/20/20 Offer packet approved by the City. Located a contact phone number & mailing address
from the SOS site on their corporation documents. Left a voicemail requesting a call
back.
3/26/20 Mailed a request for contact letter mailed to owner's residence in Bellevue.
4/7/20 Mailed the City's offer packet via Certified Mail with return receipt
4/9/20 Phone message left by Jimmy Woo stating that they have received a request for a contact
letter.
4/10/20 Call back and spoke with Wei-Ting (V), who confirmed that she was the owner of the
subject property. She confirmed receiving the request for a contact letter.
After a brief introduction I describe the project in general as a street pavement
preservation project, this repaving project will add a bike lane, install new sidewalks and
will be relocating or doing some upgrades to existing utilities. I explained to her that the
project will require approximately 5feet of Permanent Utility Easement and 5 feet of
Temporary Construction Easement (TCE), which is to provide additional work area for
the City's contractors.
She commented that the area fronting the Duvall Ave is narrow and is mostly drive
through for Starbucks (tenant). She raised concerns that the project will impact
Starbuck's drive through operation, currently due to Covid19, the business is only doing
operating the drive through. I told her that question of possible impact to the drive
through was raised during the valuation process and the City's design engineer had
confirmed that the drive through will not be impacted.
I told her that I had just mailed the City's offer packet via Certified mail which should
arrive today or tomorrow. I told her that I can also email it to her if she would like. She
confirmed that she had not received the packet yet and requested that I email her the
documents. She said she will review the documents and call to me back nest week to
discuss further.
The City's offer packet sent via email.
4/13/20 Received signed Certified return receipt that owner had received the City's offer packet.
4/14/20 Phone and email correspondence with the owner. The owner stated that she went
through the documents and its exhibits, she stated that she did not think that there was
enough room for both 5 feet of Utility Easement and additional 5 feet of TCE without
going into the Starbuck's drive through. I emailed her the construction plan sheet
containing construction schedule on her property so we can discuss it while looking at
the plan sheet. In viewing the plan sheet, clearly the TCE lines extends into the drive-
through. I reassured her that throughout this project the engineers just projected
additional 5 feet of TCE regardless or necessity and will most likely not encroach.
Looking at the construction plan sheet, only utility activity within the permanent
easement area is to relocate a streetlight and an installation of Filterra system. I
explained that a Filterra is at grade biofiltration to filter the street water before entering
the stormwater system.
I suggested that I request that the acquisition area be staked so we can get an accurate
picture of how close we are getting to the drive through. The owner agreed that we could
meet at the property after staking has taken place to discuss the impacts further. I will
notify her after staking has occurred. In the interim she will do her due diligence and
perform a market research on the valuation of the offer.
4/27/20 Email from the owner following up on the progress of having the acquisition area staked.
Response back to owner confirming that the staking has taken place last week, but I had
requested some clarification of the markings at site. Meanwhile, I encourage her to go
out to the site and look at the staking.
4/28/20 Email and phone correspondences to coordinate a conference call. Conference call with
owner and her business partner, Jimmy Woo, they said they were out on the property and
commented the staking was very confusing. I confirmed the findings that in certain areas
like near the driveway curb, both stakes for permanent easement and temporary
easements are right next to each other. We concluded that the TCE staking is to go 5 feet
into the drive through but because the staking will interfere with current usage the
surveyor placed it next to the curve.
I provided assurance that I spoke with the project engineer and they confirmed that the
project will not encroach into the drive-through of the Starbucks. I explained that
throughout the project the design engineer used a 5ft of TCE on every property to make
sure there are no encroachment issues during the construction. Additionally, they were
concern that construction activity will make the drive through unsafe. Lastly, she stated
that in her market research she agrees with the per square foot value by the City but the
50%for the permanent easement value is too low and should be at 75% of value.
I explained that since TCE compensation is still being offered regardless of whether the
project is utilizing it, thus the difference of opinion of the permanent easement value is a
wash. Also, I told her that I will get a memo from the City in writing stating that the
proposed project will not encroach or hinder the business operation of the Starbuck's
drive-through. For the project to provide separation to the drive through by installing
construction fence between the construction area to the Starbuck's drive-through. They
agreed that having a signed commitment memo from the City providing assurance would
put their mind at ease. They stated that the Starbucks is a good tenant for them and
would like nothing to hinder that relationship.
Wei (V) brought up question regarding the existing landscaping within the permanent
easement area. She said there is a large azalea bush right at the corner where the drive
through bends, she would like the project to preserve that if possible. The meeting
adjourned and I told her that I will summarize our conversation/agreement in an email
back to her for her to reply her confirmation. I will coordinate with the City on their
concurrence.
4/29/20 Emailed the owner the following:
V and Jimmy,
Per our conversation I will communicate to the City that you would like received written
assurance from the City stating the following:
• that they ensure during construction the continued vehicular operation or drive-through
operation of the business/tenant.
• Install a construction fence to delineate construction activity away from the drive-
through area.
• Save and protect the azalea shrub near the drive-through within the TCE area.
Along with this you are agreeable to the valuation of the offer by the City. Please let me know if
I left any additional item.
Email reply from the owner
Hi Sonja,
For the last item you listed, I thought it may be easier to do the following wording instead of
calling out just 1 shrub.
• In TCE, no landscape plants would be disturbed. If TCE plantation area needs to be
disturbed, City of Renton agree to plant the equivalent plantation in the end of the
construction.
In addition, we'd like to get the landscape plan as you mentioned earlier for us to review
(no need in the written assurance). We'd like to have your help to ensure give us the
consistency landscape style and looking good.
5/5/20 Email from the owner requesting status. Email reply stating that the City is reviewing
the memo format with the City's attorney and that I will get back to her as soon as I hear
back.
5/18/20 Emailed City's assurance letter stating that the following, "No closures are allowed at
the Starbucks drive -through lane at any time throughout the duration of Construction.
Also, the project contract document will call for high visibility fencing to be installed
along the east side and outside of the Starbucks drive-through to create separation from
the construction areas. "
I also informed her that the City's engineering will be sending me a draft planting sheet
and they informed me that according to the plan, the project calls us for the protection of
all trees and shrubs on their property. In fact, they are schedule to add a dogwood tree
near the Filterra installation.
Follow up phone call with owner, I went over the City's letter and discussed with her the
details of the planting schedule with her. I told her that I will be emailing her a seller
disclosure form her to fill out and get back to me for the escrow. I suggested a signing
meeting for the following week and for her to take look her calendar and get back to me
on a date and a time.
5/22/20 Forwarded the email from Chicago Title and Escrow with seller disclosure form for her
to fill out.
5/26/20 Email correspondence to set up a signing meeting. Meeting set for 5/27 at LOAM at her
residence in Bellevue.
Separate email sent requesting a copy of the LLC's operating agreement for signing
authority.
Email received with a copy of Kaba Investments, LLC.
5/27/20 A signing meeting with owner at her residence in Bellevue. We met in her front yard to
observe the social distancing rules with necessary PPE. The owner executed the
Permanent Easement, Temporary Construction Easement, Purchase and Sale, Real Estate
Excise Tax Affidavit, W-9, Vendor setup form, and the Real Property Voucher.
I explain that all the documents will be transmitted to the City for counter signing and
then to the Chicago Title and Escrow. She will be contacted by a closing agent soon
after. The meeting adjourned.
5/29/20 This file is consider complete,transmitting to the City.
I hereby certify that the written instruments secured and forwarded herewith embody all the considerations agreed upon
between me and the property owner; agreement on said instruments was reached without coercion,promises other than those

RE: Project Name: Duvall Avenue NE
Tax Parcel No: 516970-0092
Dear Mr. Hsiao,
The letter is intended to address your concerns regarding the operations of the Starbucks drive-
through at 4637 NE Sunset Blvd, Renton, during the construction of the Duvall Avenue NE project.
First and foremost, the Starbucks drive-through is outside the construction area. Prior to construction,
the City's contractor will enter into an agreement with the City to do work and furnish all tools,
materials, and equipment in accordance with and as described in the Contract Documents for the
Duvall Avenue NE project. Per Section 1-07.23 of that contract, Public Convenience and Safety:
"Lane closures are not allowed on any of the following:
1. No closures are allowed at the Starbucks drive-through lane at any time throughout the
duration of Construction."
The project plans, which are part of the Contract Documents, also call for high visibility fencing to be
installed along the east side and outside of the Starbucks drive-through to create a separation from the
construction areas.The City's contractor will install the high visibility fence as site preparation prior to
working in this area.
I hope that this letter addresses your concerns regarding the construction process. Please feel free to
direct any further questions you may have to the City's representative from RES Group Northwest,
Sonja Davis at (425) 577-2184.

Hi Sonja,
For the last item you listed, I thought it may be easier to do the following wording instead of calling out just 1
shrub?
• In TCE, no landscape plants would be disturbed. If TCE plantation area needs to be disturbed, City of
Renton agree to plant the equivalent plantation in the end of the construction.
In addition, we'd like to get the landscape plan as you mentioned earlier for us to review (no need in the
written assurance). We'd like to have your help to ensure give us the consistency landscape style and looking
good.

V and Jimmy,
Per our conversation I will communicate to the City that you would like received written assurance from the City stating
the following:
• that they ensure during construction the continued vehicular operation or drive-through operation of the
business/tenant.
• Install a construction fence to delineate construction activity away from the drive-through area.
• Save and protect the azalea shrub near the drive-through within the TCE area.
Along with this you are agreeable to the valuation of the offer by the City. Please let me know if I left any additional
item.

a.
The property is located on the east side of Union Avenue NE,south of Ne 4th Street. The property,
which is comprised of three separate,but contiguous tax lots,is mostly rectangular to slightly irregular
in shape and mostly level. At the time of the purchase,two of the tax lots were improved with older
single-family residences and associated outbuildings. These structures were,however,considered to
be of no contributory value. Subsequent to the purchase,the buyer has commenced planning work
for the removal of the existing structures to make way for redevelopment of the site with a mixed-use.
The rear portion of the site has slopes and may be impacted by a stream buffer,resulting in a net
usable area of about 50,000sf,with equates to about$31/sf.
