Program 1992 Grant Cycle. The City of Renton has three projects it wishes to submit, for your consideration. Each P!oject will be submitted under a different category. Following is a brief description of each project: BLACK RIVER RIPARIAN FOREST, URBAN WILDLIFE HABITAT CATEGORY .; The City of Renton currently has 33, 7((a~tcis in City/public ownership consisting of 4.18 acres riparian forest, 3.79 acres greenbelt, 8.79 acres flood control land and 17 acres P-l Pond. In addition, the City will soon complete the acquisition of an additional 32.76 acres (for a total of 99.28 acres) within the area known as Tract C. The City currently has a two-year option on the remaining parcels in Tract C (112 lot 6, lot 3 and lot 4, totaling, 14.41 acres) and also hopes tq acquire the acreage north of the railroad tracts in the hillside area totaling 23.23 acres. The grant application will include the entire project area (Tract C and the hillside) as the City currently has a Letter of Retroactivity on file. As you know, this site is extremely valuable for its unique vegetation and high wildlife diversity. It currently has 36 mammal species, 85 waterfowl species, and 6 rare and 26 occasional vegetation species, The University of Washington Institute of Environmental Studies utilizes this site for ongoing research. Preservation of the vegetation on this site will promote the return of the 30 pair of nesting heron. . ..

If awarded the City could be requesting up to $1.2 million, if there is no cap. MAY CREEK -LOCAL PARKS CATEGORY The City of Renton and King County currently have parcel ownership nearly the entire length of the creek from Lake Washington to Coal Creek Parkway. In addition, King County will further pursue acquisition out to Cougar Mountain. The City recently acquired 6 parcels of land (totaling 20 acres) in this corridor, partially utilizing WWRC monies. An additional 6 parcels for this application have been identified at the Southeast comer of Coal Creek Parkway and May Creek. The City is coordinating with King County on this proposed purchase. These parcels will tie directly into and further expand the May Creek Corridor. In addition,the need for additional park land in this area of Renton will begin to be fulfilled. The upland areas are suitable for active recreation while the low areas along the creek are suitable for passive recreation. Appraisals are currently underway. Once the City receives these appraisals I will be able to prepare.an estimate of expenditures. Following is a list of available funds: Source of Funds City Park Fund Open Space Bond Issue Conservation Futures WWRC Total $126,600.00 60,000.00 109,200.00 169.200.00 $465,000.00 The City currently has a grant application requesting $246,600.00 from the Conservation Futures Levy Fund. Should this grant be awarded the City will be applying with the lAC for a grant up to $373,200.00 . CEDAR RIVER TRAIL PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE -TRAILS CATEGORY The City is currently having plans prepared to extend the existing Cedar River Trail from Liberty Park east to the city limits (approximately 2 miles) at l49th Street. At l49th Street, King County will extend the trail to Snoqualmie. The trail extension will utilize the abandoned Burlington Northern Railroad Right-of-Way to provide a continuous trail system from the mouth of the Cedar River at lake Washington to the city limits. 2 " i The Cedar River Pedestrian Bridge proposed in this grant application is the missing link to this trail system. This bridge will provide access from Cedar River Park on the north side to the river to the 2 mile trail extension to the city limits on the south side of the Cedar River. This bridge is being designed and will be constructed as part of the 1-405 S-curve realignment project. The bridge will utilize existing columns for support and will be constructed from concrete. The bridge will be 8 feet wide and located directly beneath the new 1-405 alignment. The City of Renton has the following funds available: Source of Funds Open Space Bond Proceeds encumbered subtotal Proposed expenditures Cedar River Greenway Interpretive Park Cedar River Regional Park and trail extension Total Estimated Project Cost Design, Construction Inspection $2,185,000.00 131.000.00 $2,053,400.00 400,000.00 1.150,00.00 {$1,650,000.00} $ 403,400.00 $ 500,000.00 The City is requesting a $250,000.00 grant from the lAC for this project.

SUBJECf: lAC Grant Application -City of Renton, Black River Riparian Forest My name is Jonathan Ives, wildlife biologist with Jones & Stokes Associates, InCn of Bellevue, Washington. During the past six months I assisted the City of Renton and with their application for purchase of the portions of the Black River riparian forest under your review. In addition, for over two years I have studied the biologic:!! resources of the project area as a part of a SEPA Environmental Impact Statement prepared for the City. As a committee, you have reviewed the grant application and two weeks ago heard the presentation made by Leslie Betlach for the City of Renton Parks and Recreation Department. There is little question that the Black River . forest is important wildlife habitat. It is proposed to become an integral part of the City's open space of the future. The 47-acre property, when combined with the 34 acres of old growth riparian forest and the adjacent P-1 Pond already under City ownership,· will represent one of the largest contiguous parcels (81 acres) of open space and wildlife habitat within the City of Renton and easily one of the largest cottonwood/Oregon ash riparian areas remaining in western King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties. Virtually all other historic riparian areas in the western portions of those counties, particularly along the wide flat floodplains of the lower -river valleys, were diked and cleared for agricultural activities during the early part of this century. Although portions of the site have been impacted by human activities (including clearing) in the past, all of the biological and physical components essential to full recovery of the ecosysteIlJ -topography, soils, groundwater and surface water hydrology, and vegetation are present on the site. I have reViewed tha lAC evaluation questionnaire for urban wildlife habitat. In applying the evaluation questions, based on my experience and knowledge of the site, the project area should score at the high end of the evaluation range. The site clearly represents an uncommon habitat within an urban setting; the site is ~' . 'w lAC September 18, 1991 Page 2 under some threat of development as an office park; it lies in close proximity to other habitat areas that are presently protect~d; it is of scientific value as a' potential outdoor classroom for school-age students as well as university levelstildents; and has the potential for public use. In addition, the area is large, contains Ii wide diversity of wildlife, with the potential for supporting greater variety and populations of wildlife in the future. The site does provide foraging habitat for bald eagles, a .StateThreatened species; and provides habitat for great blue heron, a state monitor species (defined as a species having significant popular appeal and requiring limited habitat during some portion of their life cycle); and, supports a wide variety of waterfowl, raptors, and other bird species as well as mammals and amphibians. . . , . Black River represents a resource worthy of acquisition and preservation. Few, if any, sites capable of supporting a diverse riparian community in an urban.setting exist anywhere in western King County. Based on the information presented here today and during your past meetings, I strongly urge that you give this. application your, utmost consideration and a high priority. " '\)/°01."

" ,..' .,' "~.,, .. ~ The Black River'Riparian Forest Project involves the acquisition of 46.74 acres, lots 3-10 lo,cated within the city limits in southeast Renton alo~g the Jold, Black, River ,corridor. This proposed acquisition supp'lements 33.76 acres already in city/public ownership consisting of 4.18 acres riparian forest, 3.79 acres greenbelt, 8.79 acres flood control land and 17 acres P-l pond, formerly the site of the Black River. In addition, a 600' buffer with restrictive covenants, for protection of the heronry is located within portions of;"Tracts A and B, the P-1 pond and lots 4, 5 and 7.' ' Other existing habitat areas located within the service area include the Cedar River Natural ,Zone which, is approximately 350 acres in size., This Natural Zone is approxfinate 2-1/4 miles from the' project site. Located within the natural zone is the Cedar River ':Cri'\il,a 2-mile paved' trail from the mouth' of the Cedar River at Lake Washington to the City Center, an 18-hole golf course, a proposed ll~acre" interpretive park, extension of the" existing Cedar River Trail to the city limits to the east and a 128-acre conservancy area. We anticipate purchasing 'another 40 acres in 1991 to expand the conservancy area. As indicated in the Comprehensive Park Plan an additional 709,acres should be acquired for the Cedar River Natural Zone by the year 2000. Currently this site does not meet the service area's needs. The Panther Creek Wetlands, 2 miles away from the proje.ct site, also located within the service area, ,is 20 acres. At this ti~e it has not been determined whether this parcel meets the area's needs. Springbrook Corridor, also within the service area and 3 miles from the project site, co~sists of a 38.8 acre watershed'owned jointly by the Public Works 'and Parks and Recreation Departments. A deficit of land has been identified in this area and the city has Open space Bond Issue Funds for parcel acquisition in this area. Currently specific parcels have not been identified but the entire Springbrook corridor and surrounding area is 'being evaluated. The P-1 channel which consists of runoff from Springbrook Creek and flows into the P-l Pond within the project site, is also located within' this service area. This channel is a man-made channel flowing through the co,mmercial/industrial area of Renton and is approximately six feet in width. It currently does not meet the service area needs. It is hoped that additional land may be,added to this channel through setback, 'requirements, and easements.

There Will actually be a match of $209,000.00 from the Conservation Futures Levy Fund. The Resolution was passed prior to the recommendation by the King County Citizens Oversight Committee for an additional allocation of $200,000.00. Our most recent information indicates the King County Council will not approve this award for another two months and then it may take another month to receive these funds. By early September of this year we should have the funds at which time the Resolution will be amended to reflect a match of $209,000.00. Please call me at 277-5549 if you have any questions.

Webley, Director The City of Renton currently has a letter for a Waiver of Retroactivity for acquisi- tion for the above-referenced project. As you know, we are currently preparing a grant application for W.W.R.c. funding; if we receive funding it would be in 1992. The Black River Project is extremely valuable as a resource area for wildlife and vegetative habitat and is listed as the number one priority for property acquisition in the Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan. As the opportunity presents itself the City would like to acguire as much of this land as possible. Should property acquisition occur prior to notification and award of grant monies, and if the city is awarded grant monies, the ci~ would again like to apply these expenses toward future grant funds. We would lIke to extend our eli- gIbilIty for a Waiver of Retroactivity for acquisition for another two lAC funding sessions commencing November of 1991.

This value was based on the unique vegetation and high wildlife dlversfty (see attached) of the area including old growth stands of Oregon Ash and 8 protected heronry which exists directly adjacent to parcels proposed for acquisition in this grant application. ApprOXimately 6 different mammals and 64 avff8~na have been observed on the project sfte and immediate vicinity. Other numerous mammals, . avifauna" reptiles and &qlhibiana are also likely to be found within this habitat. There are 6 rare species and 26 occasionaL species of plants found on the site (attached). Development haa already been completed or is about to be completed on lots 1 and 2. (This proposal includes lots 3·10). Tracts A and B are currently in the final stages of the EIS process with a hearing scheduled in June of 1991.

BLACK RIVER RIPARIAN FOREST , SITE LOCATION MAP: \ --l\\ - -): /1 ~-ACK RIVER RIPARIAN FOREST PROJECT NARRATIVE The Black River Riparian Forest Project involves the acquisition of 46.74 acres, lots 3-10 located within the city limits in southeast Renton along the old Black River corridor. This proposed acquisition supplements 33.76 acres already in city/public ownership consisting of 4.1S acres riparian forest, 3.79 acres greenbelt, S.79 acres flood control land and 17 acres P-1 pond, formerly the site of the Black River. In addition, a 600' buffer with restrictive covenants, for protection of the heronry is located within portions of Tracts A and B, the P-1 pond and lots 4, 5 and 7. Other existing habitat areas located within the service area include the Cedar River Natural Zone which is approximately 350 acres in size. This Natural Zone is approximate 2-1/4 miles from the project site. Located within the natural zone is the Cedar River Trail, a 2-mile paved trail from the mouth of the Cedar River at Lake Washington to the City Center, an lS-hole golf course, a proposed 11-acre interpretive park, extension of the existing Cedar River Trail to the city limits to the east and a 12S-acre conservancy area. We anticipate purchasing another 40 acres in 1991 to expand the conservancy area. As indicated in the Comprehensive Park Plan an additional 709 acres should be. acquired for the Cedar River Natural Zone by the year 2000. Currently this site does not meet the service area's needs. The Panther Creek Wetlands, 2 miles away from the project site, also located within the service area, is 20 acres. At this time it has not been determined whether this parcel meets the area's needs. Springbrook Corridor, also within the service area and 3 miles from the project site, consists of a 3S.S acre watershed owned jointly by the Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments. A deficit of land has been identified in this area and the City has Open Space Bond Issue Funds for parcel acquisition in this area. Currently specific parcels have not been identified but the entire Springbrook corridor and surrounding area is being evaluated. The P-1 channel which consists of runoff from Springbrook Creek and flows into the P-1 Pond within the project site, is also located within this service area. This channel is a man-made channel flowing through the commercial/industrial· area of Renton and is approximately six feet in width. It· currently does not meet the service area needs. It is hoped that additional land may be added to this channel through setback, requirements, and easements. Acquisition of land for the Black River project and anticipated future development of interpretive facilities ',' will most defini\._ ... y help meet the needs of ..... e other existing habitat areas in the service area as they are all interrelated. The entire Black River site consisting of Tracts A and Band Lots 1-10 (with the exclusion of acreage in city/public ownership) is zoned for office park development. Lots 1 and 2 have or are in the process of being developed. Tracts A and B are currently in the final stages of an EIS process, with a public hearing scheduled during early summer. Proposed plans for these two tracts includes 4, 5 and 6 story office buildings with parking garages. As part of the EIS process specific setback and landscape requirements have been established. However, development is rapidly encroaching this valuable wildlife and habitat reserve. Preservation of as much land as possible in this area is critical to not only the survival of the herons (there are 30 nesting pair), but also to other wildlife and avifauna existing on this site. (Please see attached tables for a listing of wildlife/habitat). The herons and other nesting birds feed on this site and in the P-1 pond. In addition, it appears another heron colony may be forming on this site to the west of the existing colony. This is an extremely viable site that supports the listed, diverse wildlife species. However, it is feared that this wildlife would no longer exist in its current state should development diminish this vegetative habitat beyond the 33.76 acres that have already been set aside. Although this site is zoned for office park development, in 1981 a reconnaissance study ranked this site with the highest priority for protection based on the unique vegetation and high wildlife diversity. The City of Renton's Parks and Recreation Department realizes the importance of acquiring and preserving as much of this land as economically possible. The City has an allocation in the Open Space Bond Issue Program, with an additional allocation available from King County. Also, we have applied for and receiced two grants from the Conservation Futures Levy Fund and are looking toward other sources of funding, such as the Audobon Society and Foundations. Not only is this land valuable as a natural resource but it is also very costly. Therefore the city needs to look to other sources of funding, including the I.A.C. to increase the amount of funds available for acquisition. The primary result in acquiring this acreage is expanding, enhancing and protecting an existing critical and quality wildlife/vegetative habitat area, increasing the public's awareness of the value of this site and similar sites, the scientific value including ongoing research by the University of Washington Institue of Environmental studies and increasing the long term viability of this site. This specific acquisition is listed as the City's number one priority in the Comprehensive Park and Trail Plan. Numerous newspaper articles have been published concerning this site. Currently the city owns, operates and maintains the P-1 Pond and maintains the public use areas as a natural site. As part of the Growth Management Act legislation and regulatory requirements are being prepared pertaining to the management of wildlife in this and other areas. It is estimated that until this area has any type of recreational development maintenance will most likely consist of litter control and signage, as noted in our application. Upon development of an interpretive center and footpaths, maintenance costs are estimated to be $75,000 per year. This is based upon similar facilities within the city of Renton's park system. The Audobon Society, as well as the community, are very involved and supportive in preserving land for this project. The Audobon Society monitors the site several times a week, observing the heronry and other nesting avifauna. Additionally, the Audobon Society conducts educational field trips oriented toward general audiences and the Sierra Club. All of these involved groups will be of great importance in assisting in the educational/interpretive opportunities this site has to offer. The Black River Project is located within the Renton city limits, where currently the average population density has increased to 2,500 people per acre. The city recently signed a contract in 1990 for funding assistance from the lAC for acquisition along May Creek. In addition, the city currently has a letter of retroactivity for the Black River Riparian Forest which expires November of this year. We anticipate requesting an extension, as'the Black River Riparian Forest project offers a diverse wildlife/habitat resource area valuable not only to the citizens of Renton but to all population user groups and future generations. Therefore, preservation of this site is critical. o o 1'1 .I o o [] o D o D o o I I I -,' . .... , '-', . \ , •... .! .. ...... . , .' . '.)~ , I .... I· ] ,", , .. Table A 1.

The city of Renton has two projects it wishes to submit for your consideration. We would like to submit both projects under the Urban Wildlife Habitat Account. They are as follows: 1. Black River Riparian Forest This is approximately a sixty-six (66) acre acquisition project. In 1981, a city of Renton wetlands reconnaissance study ranked the Black River Forest and associated wetlands with highest priority for protection. The value was based on the unique vegetation and high wildlife diversity of the area including old growth stands of Oregon Ash and a protected heron rookery, which exists within the site boundaries. (There are currently 30 nesting pair of herons and the heronry is still expanding). In addition, approximately 36 wildlife species currently exist on this site. There is development proposed for this site and the Final Draft of the Environmental Impact Assessment is scheduled to be released in early March. The City of Renton Parks and Recreation Department currently has the following funds available: Source of Funds Open Space Bond Proceeds King County Allocation Conservation Future Levy Total Amount $341,498.00 282,915.00 Fund 9,000.00 $633,413.00 200 Mill Avenue South: Renton, Washington 98055 -(206) 235-2560 ... Mr. Eric Johnson March 1, 1991 Page 2 of 2 We are currently applying for a second allocation from the Conservation Futures Levy Fund and are working with the Audobon Society. The approximate estimate for this entire property acquisition is 15 million dollars. 2. Lake Washington vistas This is approximately a 6.8 acre acquisition project located east of Lake Washington Blvd. overlooking Lake Washington and the Olympic Mountains above Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park. Kennydale Creek flows through the site from east to west. A California Development Partnership recently acquired this land for future development. The city has strong community support in keeping this area natural (we have a signed petition by community citizens). The city currently has the following funds for this project: Source of funds Open Space Bond Proceeds Conservation Futures Levy Fund Reserve Park Fund Total Amount $158,771. 00 100,000.00 86.500.00 $343,271. 00 Based on the recent sa1e (2/90), the estimated cost for this acquisition would be approximately $520,000.00. I would appreciate a confirmation from you on the receipt of this Letter of Intent. I will be the contact person for these grant applications and can be reached at 277-5549. I look forward to proceeding with these grants applications. sincerely; ~J4,~ Leslie A.

This decision, however, will allow the project to remain eligible during the next two lAC funding sessions, (November 1991). Please review lAC Participation Manual #3, GYidelines for Land Acquisition, Following the procedures outlined will ensure eligibility for fund assistance should the grant application be approved.

Webley, Director I would like to request it waiver of retroactivity for the following project: Black Riyer Forest This site is presently in the final stages of an EIS. In addition, there are several transactions taking place between the owners of this property. It is doubtful that we will be able to pin down this acquisition project before your project application deadline. Since we may have to move quickly to save some CritICal parcels, it is important for us to be able to applr those monies spent prior to funding approval toward our match at a later date, i we are to have a chance to preserve more urban wildlife habitat critical to this area. Thank you for your assistance on this important request.

Earl Clymer, Mayor April 27, 1990 Erick Johnson Project Administrator Interagency Commission Tumwater, Washington Dear Erick: CITY OF RENTON for Outdoor Recreation 98504-5611 PARKS and RECREATION John E. Webley, Director The following is a list of descriptions of three projects the City of Renton intends on submitting for funding consideration: 1. The Jordan LaRue site consists of approximately 8 acres to be developed as a passive park located on the bank of the Cedar River. Improvements will include, but not be limited to, a number of picnic sites, trails, river access, viewing station, parking area, bridge improvements, a restroom and eventually trail connectors to an existing railroad right of way we have acquired and intend to develop as a major trail through Maple Valley in the future. We estimate the cost of this project to be approximately $300,000 to $400,000. We currently have open space funds with which to match for this project. 2. We are currently planning on extending the Cedar River Trail from its current northern terminus at thp. mouth of the river across a portion of Lake Washington in . , front of the Boeing plant onto and across DNR property to the Puget Power Plant property line. Eventually we will cross Puget Powers Property and connect up to the Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park. We currently have a $650,000 commitment from the Boeing company for this project which we estimate will exceed $1,500,000 dollars. • One thing I forgot to mention was the Boeing Companies donation, of a boat house, which we will remodel for use as a non-motorized boating center facility. 200 Mill Avenue South' Renton, Washington 98055 -(206) 235-2560 Erick Johnson April 27, 1990 Page 2 of 2 3. The Black River Forest (Blue Heron Rookery) is a critical acquisition project designed to save a unique site located in the heart of a commercial development. We would like to see this project added to the 1991 list for Washington Wildlife Coalition funding. currently in cooperation with King County we have over $624,000 in Open Space Funds to use as a match toward funding this project which will probably exceed . $2,000,000. Please confirm your receipt of this letter of intent for these three worthy projects, and submit to us the appropriate application materials for our use in completing these submittals.

The legal descriptions for the three irregular-shaped parcels are included in the ,50-year Property History Report provided in Appendix B. For purposes of this report, the three combined parcels ' will hereinafter be referred to as the :site" or the "subject property". The subject property occupies approximately 16 acres and is comprised of undeveloped forest. and wetland areas. There are no Slructures on the property. The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was conducted and this report has been prepared in acCordance with Dames & Moore's General Services Agreement Revision 0.0, and Attachment A (CAG 100-90, Addendum Number 4-93) dated October 31, 1990 and November 8, 1993, respectively. 2.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of the Phase I assessment was to assess, on the basis of readily available information, the use, stomge, disposal, or rrUinufacture of hazSrdous materials and wastes at the subject property due to past and/or current land use pmctices and/or site opemtions, and to assess the potential for soil and/or ground-water contamination resulting from these pmctices. This assessment also included review of neighboring properties and facilities in the site vicinity (within a l/4-mile mdius of the SUbject propertY) which may have adversely affected environmental conditions at the subject property' due to the presence and/or release of hazardous materials/wastes to the environment. Dames & Moore's scope of services included the following elements: • • • Review of pertinent, available documents and maps regarding local geologic and hydrogeologic conditions; Performance of a visual reconnaissance of the subject property and the 1/4-mile site vicinity to make observations of existing site conditions, improvements and/or opemtions on the subject property, and types of land use and nature of businesses within the site vicinity; Review and interpretation of historical aerial photographs of the site vicinity for the years 1936, 1941, 1942, 1946,1956, 1961, 1965, 1970, 1974, 1977,1985, 1989, and 1992.

The scope of worle for this project did not include the assessment of wetlands, seismic hazards, or environmental regulatory compliance. Sampling and analysis of soil and ground water was not included in the scope of this project, 2 DAMES & MOORE )"'" ,'.; , ' ; . 0' ' [~; , j., 'i..:" 3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SETIING 3.1 PHYSIOGRAPHY The site is located in the Puget Sound Lowland. approximately one mile east of the Green River (Duwamish) and approximately 1-1/2 miles west of the Cedar River in Renton. King County. Washington. The site is bordered on the north by the Union Pacific Railroad. It is situated in Section 13. Township 23 North. Range 4 East as shown on the U.S. Geological Survey. Renton. Washington. 7.5 x 15 minute quadrangle. 1983 (Figure 1). The subject property is situated near the base of a steeply sloping hillside. with elevations ranging from approximately 32 feet to 16 feet above Mean Sea Level (north to south). The nearest surface water is the Black River/Pond located less than 1/8 mile southwest of the subject property. 3.2 HYDROGEOLOGIC SETIING The subject property is located in the southern part of the Puget Sound Lowland within the Green River Trough. The surficial geology in the site vicinity consists of alluvial deposits of the Green-Duwamish and Black Rivers. The alluvial deposits commonly consist of fine sand. silty fine sand. fme sandy silt and non-plasticsil~ however. locally coarser grained material (i.e .. gravels) may exist. Most of the alluvium is organic rich. containing interbedded peat. As a result of shifting depositional channels in the above referenced rivers. individual beds of uniform grain size are not laterally extensive over large areas and interfingering of various depositional units is common. The alluvial deposits range in thickness from 10 feet to 30 feet. A previous Dames & Moore geotechnical investigation was conducted approximately 2.000 feet southeast of the subject property. Geologic materials encountered consisted of silt, sand and gravel. Soils within the upper 5 to 7 " feet consisted of brown silty sands to clayey silts (SM to ML designation using Unified Soil Classifir.ation System (USCS». Soillinderlying this material consisted primarily. of brown to grey silty sands to sandy gravels (SM. SP and SW) to a depth of 35 feet below ground surface. Based upon the King County Soil Survey (USDA. 1973). the primary soil units within the site area are the Woodinville silt loam which comprises most of the site and; the Tukwila Muck which occupies only a small portion of the site. Both of these units are known to have soils which are fine grained with high organic content, low shear strength. moderate shrink-swell potential and have high water table conditions. Groundwater occurrence in the alluvium is generally unconfined and is less than 10 feet in depth. Based on water level measurements taken during Dames & Moore's previous geotechnical investigation in the site vicinity. groundwater was encountered from 6 to 8 feet below the ground surface. During heavy rainfall events. water level fluctuations of as much as I foot were recorded. Based upon regional groundwater flow data (Dept. of Water Resources. 1969). and the areas topographic relief. groundwater flow in the site vicinity is inferred to be toward the west to southwest. 4.0 PRESENT SITE CONDmONS On December 9.1993. a Dames & Moore representative performed a reconnaissance of the subject property and the site vicinity (the area within a 1/4-mile mdius of the subject property) to make 'visual observations of existing site conditions. typeS of land use and nature of businesses within the site vicinity. The subject property is bounded to 3 DAMES & MOORE \ ,-- L L> w c ,- the east by. the Union Pacific Railroad and undeveloped forest" land, to the north by the Union Pacific Railroad, to the west by undeveloped forest and wetland areas. and to the south by undeveloped forest area, Naches Avenue, and a office/business parle: complex (Figure 2). Land use in the site vicinity is mixed commercial and undeveloped land. The Metro Sewage Treaunent Plant is located approximately 1/4 to 1/2 southwest of the site. A walk-through of the subject property was conducted to assess existing conditions at the site, current storage, handling, and disposal practices of potential hazardous materials, and to assess adjacent properties. 4.1 SUBJECT PROPERTY The site consists of three adjoining undeveloped. parcels. The land area is comprised of a series of wetlands with scattered riparian and deciduous forest areas. An unpaved access roadway is present on the property, running along the railroad truclcs at the north property boundary. This dirt roadway is accesSIble from Naches Avenue at the southeast comer of the subject property, and from Monster Road to the west of the site. The assessed parcels are adjoining property owned by the City of Renton (designated open space) which is comprised of meadow areas, wetlands, and riparian and deciduous forests. The Black River/pond is located ~n the adjacent City parcel to the immediate south and west of the subject property. Two undeveloped private tracts (Black River Corporate Park, Tracts A and B) are present to the south of the City owned land. Several sections of the site, along the din road, have been used· for unauthorized dumping of miscellaneous solid waste and debris, including building and construction debris, furniture, and large appliances. The debris piles appeared to conutin small' quantities of other waste, including one partially filled five-gallon container of dried paint, miscellaneous empty containers of motor oil, woodworking supplies, and household cleaning products. Soil sutining was not Observed in the areas conutining solid waste and debris. Building debris present at the site such as gypsum drywall, flooring and roofing materials may conutin asbestos, . however, an assessment of asbestos-conutining materials was not included in the scope of this project. In addition, it is possible that discarded appliances may contain residual chemicals such as freon or gasoline. A pile of debris located on the City-owned land immediately west of the subject property area is scattered with approximately 3040 empty quan containers of motor oil. An open container (approximately 2-3 gallons) of what appears to be waste oil is also present in this debris area. Minor staining on the ground surface was identified which appears to be the result of seepage from the discarded oil containers. Additional areas of soil staining, stressed vegetation, or other evidence of hazardous material storage or disposal were not observed at the subject property. Transformers or other potentially PCB containing electrical equipment were not noted on the subject propeny at the time of the reconnaissance. . 4.2 SUBJECT PROPERTY VICINITY A reconnaissance within a 1/4-mile radius of the subject property was conducted to visually observe existing conditions, types of land use and nature of businesses present within the site vicinity. 4 DAMFS & Moo •• P I ...

'':';'' r:;~:· The land area to west of the subject site is currently undeveloped wetland and forest area surrounding the Black River/Pond (City of Renton designated open space). A flood control pumping facility is present on the Black River/pond at the far west end of the designated open space area. Two privately owned tracts are present to the south and southwest of the subject property along Oaksdale/Monster Road (Figure 2). These parcels are owned by the Black River Corporate Park. but remain undeveloped Tract" A of this privately owned land is listed on the Ecology Confinned and Suspected Sites List for conflnlled soil contamination and suspected groundwater. sediment, and surface water contamination. According to Louise Bardy of the Washington State Depanment of Ecology. dredge spoils placed on the private property were reponed to contain high concentiations of heavy metals and petroleum contamination. This private tract appears to be located hydraulically downgradient of the subject property. The Metro Sewage 1i"eatment Plant is located beyond Oalcsdale/Monster Road to the south. approximately 1/4-1/2 mile from the subject property. This plant is listed on the Ecology Leaking Underground SlOrage Tank LisL The treatment facility also appears to be located hydraulically downgradient of the subject property. Two sets of railroad tracks run along the nonhern property boundary. Land to the north of the railroad tracks is primarily undeveloped forest area and residential property. Some commercial uses are present along the Sunset Boulevard corridor which runs along the top of the hill to the north of the property. however businesses of concern were not identified within the 1/4-mile viCinity to the north. Land use to the south and east of the site consists of various commercial and office parks with scattered light industrial businesses. Evidence of USTs such as pump islands or vent pipes was not observed.· The property surrounding these facilities is primarily paved with asphalt; appeared to be fairly well maintained. and evidence of .. significant releases to the environment was not noted. Businesses located to the south and east are assumed to be hydraulically downgradient or crossgradient of the subject site. 5.0 PAST LAND USE OF SUBJECT PROPERTY Dames & Moore reviewed selected archival topographic maps. historical aerial photographs. city directories. Sanborn fue insurance maps. and historical maps to evaluate the site history and to assess the potential for environmental impainnent due to past operations at the subject property and surrounding vicinity. This review included U.S. Geological Survey tojlographic maps (dated 1949 and 1983). aerial photographs (dated 1936. 1941. 1942, 1946. 1956. 1961. 1965. 1970. 1974. 1977. 1985. 1989. and 1992), Kroll Land Ownership Maps (1926. 1941. 1958. 1971. and . 1987). Cole City Directories (dated 1968, 1969. 1970. 1974, 1978. 1982; 1983. 1984. 1985. 1986. and 1987). and Polk's City Directory (dated 1968. 1969. 1974, and 1978). The historical infonnation obtained and reviewed by Dames & Moore suggests that Parcels 3 and 6 of the subject property (Property) have been vacant and undeveloped since 1926. and that Parcel 4 may have been part of a golf course beginning between 1926 and 1940. A chronological summary of the historical land use of the site and vicinity. as interpreted from the information obtained by Dames & Moore. is presented below. In 1926, the Property was owned by Jones-Thompson Investment Company and was bordered by the C.M. & P.S. Railroad tracks, extending east and west on its northern boundary. The site was bordered by the 5 DAM .. & MOOR. I I (: ... r· . \ C, '- i c .. '~ .. [ 1','" 8 • • • • • Black River, which flowed to the west inio the Duwwnish River, on ponions of its southern 'boundary. The Northern Pacific Raiiroad tracks, extending east and west were to the south of the Property approximately ~ mile, and the Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, extending northwest and southeast, were to the west approximately * mile. A road (Sunset Highway), extending northwest and southeast, was present to the north approximately ~ mile. In 1940, the northern ponion of the Property was owned by C.M. & P.S. Railroad, and the southern ponions by H.E. Ryan and Frank DoMel!. The Black River was now an abandoned channel. The Earlington Golf & Counuy Club was in operation to the east adjacent to the Property. A horse track was in operation to the south approximately * mile. In 1942 the Property was Wooded. Domestic residential areas existed on a ridge to the north and northeast of the Property within 1,4 mile (Renton), to the east within ~ mile, and to the south and southeast approximately * to 1 mile (Tukwila). In 1949, an old railroad grade was indicated to run through the southern ponion of the Property. The Earlington Golf Course now existed within Pml 4 of the Property. Some development had occurred to, the west approximately ~ mile. The Black River was now indicated as a perennial stream which flowed into Springbrook Creek to the west within 500 feel Two small dwellings were in the southern ponion of the golf course approximately 2000 feet southeast of the Property. Three other small dwellings existed on the grade to the northeast across the railroad traCks approximately 200 feel ' Domestic residential development had increased to the south across the Northern Pacific railroad tracks, to the north across Sunset Highway, and to the east within ~ mile. By 1961, a large pit appeared, to the west approximately ~ mile. A pumping station appeared to the southwest approximately ~ mile near what is now S. 143rd Street and 72 Avenue S. . . In 1969, an industrial park was developing along Thomas Ave. S. approximately 900 feet to the south of the eastern ponion of the subject property. In 1970, Powell Ave. S. and 1971 SW 7th Ave. within the industrial park were in place. A Municipal Metro sewage treatment facility appeared to the west approximately 1,4 to ~ mile with its eastern boundary near Springbrook Creek. A large pit (Black River Quarry) to the west also increased in size extending to the north. ' In 1978, Oaksdale Road, located approximately 800 feet south of the property (ruMing east and west) had its fust street directory listing. By 1983, a small dam appeared to the west, just north of the flood control pumping station. This dam created a small body of water into which the Black River from Springbrook Creek flows. ,The Earlington Golf Course appeared to have increased its size extending to the west across Springbrook Creek (south of the Black River). In 1985, commercial development has increased next to the boundaries of Parcels 3 and 4 of the Property. The sewage plant to the west has increased in size. In 1987, the majority of the Property is owned by the Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul & Pacific Railroad, and a small central ponion is owned by the federal governmenl In 1989, the northern ponions of the Property were wooded, and the southern ponion (part of Parcel 4) was panially cleared. Surrounding businesses to the south and southeast are indicated as a mixture of light industriaVmanufacturing, electronics, distribution, and retail. 6 nAMES & MOORE i., '" (' I"; I I I , , 'J )i '-' 6.0 REVIEW OF AGENCY AND OTHER DOCUMENTS 6.1 ENVIRONMENTAL RECORD SOURCES, FEDERAL AND STATE A review of applicable regulatory, agency documents and lists of known or potential hazardous .waste sites or landfills, and properties or facilities currently under investigation for potential environmental violations was conducted.

The stated primary objective of the study was to evaluate if public health problems exist at predetermined sites within King County. The subject property was not included in this report. The former Renton Junction LandliU, which opemted between 1946 and 1961, is located approximately If]. mile west (crossgmdient) of subject property. The report indicates that due to its proximity to several industries in South King County, some potentiaUy hazardous materials, including oil, may have been dumped at the site during its years of operation. In addition, due to its proximity to the Green River; it is possible that leachate may reach the river. A surface water sample coUected at the shoreline adjacent to the former landfiU reportedly did not contain leachate contamination. The site is currently used for the stomge of crushed rock and gravel by the Manufacturers Mineral Company. 6.2 50-YEAR PROPERTY mSTORY REPORT REVIEW A property history search for the subject property was conducted by Stewart Title Company including property title records for the last 50 years. The historical records indicate that real estate tmnsactions at the site were 'limited prior to 1980. The real estate tmnsaction documents are included in the Property Histoty Report presented in Appendix B. Due to the 50-year limitation on the search, records prior to 1980 were not initially included in Stewart Title Company's report; however, documents relating to the earlier ownership of the property were provided by Stewart Title upon our request. Additional information was obtained from the individual Title Reports for Parcels 3, 4, and 6 prepared by Stewart Title Company in 1992, and provided to Dames & Moore by the City of Renton. Review of the property history information provided by Stewart ntle indicates that prior to 1907, the property was owned by the Jones-Thompson Investment Company and private individuals. The property was sold to the Chicago, Milwaukee, St.Paul and Pacific Railroad Company in 1907. The rights to remove coal from the site were gmnted to the Black River Coal Company in 1920. In 1980, large portions of the property and surroundings were sold 10 the John R. Hansen Corpomtion, which were subsequently sold 10 three individual parties known as Jag-Renton Associates, a general partnership. In 1985, the property was tmnsferred to FITSt City Development Corpomtion. The property was then conveyed 10 CMC Real' Estate Development Corpomtion and First City Equities/F'ITSt City Development Corpomtion in 1987. An Assumption Agreement was made between First City Developments Corp., First City Washington, Inc., and Citicorp Real Estate Inc. in 1989. The Deed of Trust was transferred 10 FITSt City Washington,lnc. in 1990, who remains the current owner. Easements on the property include the milroad right-of- way at the north property boundary, the ingresS/egress roadway currently used for the maintenance of the railroad tracks, and a City of Renton easement for utility installation. 7.0 AGENCYIINFORMATIONAL CONTACTS Dames & Moore conducted telephone and personal inquiries to applicable municipal; county, and state offices regulatory agencies, and individuals for information regarding environmenraJ or building permits, underground stomge \0 DAMES & MOORE ' . .

The following is a listing of the various public agencies and individuals contacted and a summary of relevant findings: • Renton Fire Department • • The City of RenlOn FIre Deparunent was contacted regarding records of ftres. hazardous material . spius. and underground slOrage tank installations or removals at this propeny. Mr. Gary Gotti. Fire Marshall. reported that he is unaware of any tanks having been present at the subject site. and that they did not have any record of spius or other releases of hazardous materials at the subject site. Mr. Gotti indicated that the area along the railroad traclcs has been hislOrically used as a "hobo canip· with several makeshift shaclcs in the area. He indicated that the site has been largely inaccessible 10 the public due 10 the presence of the railroad and' the hillside 10 the north. and the golf course 10 the south .. Mr. Gotti recalled a grain spiU occurring in the site area along the railroad traclcs. however. he did not recall any spills of hazardous materials or other significant incidents since at least the 1940·s. City or Renton Pu~llc Works The Renton Public Worlcs Deparunent was contacted 10 ascertain whether the subject· property is connected 10 the municipal sanitary and/or slOrm sewer systems. Mr. Paul Lumbert reported that city water and sewer connections are available in the site area along Oaksdale Avenue. SW 7th Street, and Naches Avenue. The actual site area has not been connected 10 the municipal sanitary and storm sewer systems or municipal potable water supply system to date. Since the property is currently undeveloped. storm water runoff flows directly 10 the PI Channel (Black River/pond) located 10 the southwest of the subject ·property. Mr. Lumbert further reported that the pumping facility located 10 the southwest of the site on the Black River/Pond is operated by King County as a flood controVvalley stabilizer 10 control slOrm' waters associated with the Green/Duwamish River. He indicated that the river bed was dredged in the late 1970's or early 1980's 10 form the pond. In addition. Mr. Lumbert reported that due to several cleanup efforts being undertaken in the Kent area along Springbrook Creek to the south of the site. groundwater quality in the Black River area has been improving over recent years .. Washington State Department or Ecology. Northwest Region . . Ms. Louise Bardy of the Department of Ecology's ConflIllled & Suspected Contaminated sites section was contacted regarding the listing of the Black River Corporate Park Tract A on the ConflIllled & Suspected Contaminated. Sites List. Ms. Bardy reported that dredge spoils from the . river were placed on the site approximately two years ago. High levels of heavy metals and petroleum were documented. Ecology issued a requirement 10 the property owner that the contaminated areas be covered or contained. A concern about possible leaching of the materials is present in the area of the dredge spoils. Ms. Bardy was not certain whether any action has been. taken at the site 10 date. She further indicated that the site is rather sensitive due to the presence of heron nesting sites in the wetland areas of the Black River Forest. Both parcels owned by the Black River Corporate Park. including Tract A. remain undeveloped. 11 DAM .... & Moo •• ~ i " ' t .'

Ms. Karen Sharp of Puget Power reported that they currently have no elecuical equipment at the subject site. Ms. Sharp further reported that at one time (many years ago), there were poles present in the site vicinity which were likely associated with the golf course operation, however, no transfonners were present on the poles. Currently, Ms. Sharp has no records of any elecuical equipment on the subject property. The nearest elecuical equipment is present on Naches Avenue SW approximately 200 feet south of the subject property. 8.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based upon our site reconnaissance and infonnation reviewed during Illis assessment, unauthorized dumping of limited amounts of solid waste, debris, and small quantities of oil. paint, and other miscellaneous containers has occurred in loc8tized areas at the s~bject property. Solid waste identified at the site included old furniture. construction and demolition debris, appliances, and miscellaneous household items., One open container (approximately 2-3 gallons) of waste oil was observed adjacent to the west end of the property. Allllough several . surrounding properties were identified during the background infonnation search. these properties were located either hydraulically crossgradient or downgradient from the subject property. Therefore. it is unlikely that the subject property has been affected by potential releases of contaminants to the soil, groundwater, or surface water from neighboring facilities located within the site vicinity. Our specific conclusions and recommendations regarding potential on-and off-site sources of contamination include the following: • • • • Discarded empty waste oil and paint containers, and a small open container of waste oil were present in localized areas on and adjacent to Ille subject property. These containers may, have impacted localized areas of the surface soil at the property (seepage). These waste materials should be properly disposed in accordance with applicable regulations. Small localized areas of spilled oil were observed on the ground surface below the debris piles located beyond the northwest end of Parcel 6, and along the unpaved roadway on Parcel 6 (two areas). Due to Ille limited extent of the stained soil, it is unlikely Illat Illis material will impact Ille groundwater or surface water at the subject property. The oil has a high affinity to adsorb to soil, and therefore contaminant migration will be limited. It is also unlikely that the State Deparunent of Ecology would require cleanup of this small amount of material. Discarded appliances and building construction debris (possibly containing asbestos) were present at the site. Debris piles present on and adjacent to the site should be evaluated to detennine if asbestos is present. If asbestos is present, the materials should be handled and disposed iii accortlance with local, state and federal regulations. Resuicted access to the site is recommended to reduce the likelihood of further unaulllorized dumping at the site. 12 DAM ... & MOORE '.

Black River property as originally anticipated (~31.2 . $50,000.00). This ~_s the total project cost from the projected $2,750,000-:-0 to the actual costof~710,931.47>ln order to process the reimbursement, you indicated that the Project Agreement will need to be amended to reflect the actual project cost. Please forward the amended Project. Agreement to my attention, as we may be required to take this document through the City Council approval process. . On a related issue, the City of Renton formally requests that the lAC. reimburse the City at a rate approximately 4% above the appraised value of the property. The . appraised fair market value was $2,595,000.00, which was subsequently confirmed through the appraised review process. However, the City paid. $2,700,000.00 for the property for several reasons. First, the owner was unwilling. to sell the property for less than the agreed upon price. Second, the owner had already secured permits to develop the two adjoining parcels to the south into a commercial office development. The next logical expansion of this development would have been onto the subject .. property; which was already zoned for commercial office development. Thus, the CitY· .. believed the property to be highly threatened. And third, a substantial funding source., for this property was through the King County Conservation Futures tax,. which prohibits. condemnation of property. We therefore felt justified. in agreeing, to a price nominally' . larger than the appraised value, though still well below our Original estimate and Project Resume figure. . 200 Mill Avenue South -Renton; Washington 98055 .......... na Dnft "",... .. _ .........

Reimbursement Requirements In preparing the reimbursement request to the I~AC. for the Black River Forest project ($228,350), I noticed several problems stemming from the fact that we received notice of funding from l.AC. a&r the acquisition was complete. As a result, I discussed our reimbursement requirements in some depth on 7/6/95 with Phil Trask. According to Phil, before l.AC. will release money for the project, the following additional steps will be required: '\ 1. Submit a Deed of Right -the Restrictive Covenant, executed as part of the Metro grant, is in favor of King County, not the State of Washington. Even though the provisions are similar, the State must be the benefactor. "" 2. An appraisal review must be completed. Though l.A.C. technically requires that the original appraisal be performed by an MAL certified appraiser (which Mr. Parrish is llQt), Phil indicated that they IIllI): waive this requirement if the review is performed by an M.A.l. certified appraiser. 3. Regarding the Project Agreement, we need to either: a) Find $50,000 in reimbursable incidental land acquisition costs (I've only uncovered about $10,000 so far); or "'-b) Revise the Project Agreement amount downward from its current total of $2,750,000 ($2,700,000 for land acquisition and $50,000 for incidentals). MEMORANDUM Subject: Black River Riparian Forest- I.A.C. Reimbursement Requirements July 10, 1995 Page 2 of2 Phil indicated that you had a lengthy conversation several months ago to arrive at the current contract amount, so I'll need to review this with you when you have a chance. In the meantime, I will proceed with obtaining a Deed ofRigh~review appraisal, and will work with Finance to see if! can uncover additional reimbursable expenses. The good news is that Phil is very confident that additional funds -Phil was not certain how much -would be returned to the I.A.C. that would be available for the Black River project. We will deal with these funds as they come. cc: Sam Chastain 9S-228-mb ~, BLACK RIVER RIPARIAN FOREST INCIDENTAL COSTS FOR I.A.C.

PROPERTY LOCATION; The subject property is located in the city of Renton, King County, Washington State. PURPOSE OF APPRAISAL: The purpose of this appraisal is to est~~ate the Market Value of the legally described property as an unencumbered fee estate. This appraisal is being used for refinancing of the property. "Market'Value" means (i) The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting prudently, knowledgably and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specific date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: 1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated. 2. both parties are well informed or well advised, each acting in what he considers to be his own best interest: 3. a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market 4. payment is made in terms of cash in U. S. dollars'or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto : and 5. the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale. (ii) Adjustments to the comparables must be made for special or creative financing or sales concessions. No adjustments are necessary for those costs that are normally paid by sellers' as a result of tradition or law in a market area: these costs are readily identifiable since the seller pays these costs in virtually all sales transactions. special or creative financing adjustments can be made to the comparable property by comparisons to·financing terms offered by a third party institution lender that is not already involved in ;:>7' " ~:. ~ . t ':;. r ,:< "'.' a mechanical dollar for dollar cost of the financing or concession, but the dollar amount of any adjustment should approximate the market's reaction to the financing or concessions based on the appraisers judgement. MOST PROBABLE SELLING PRICE. For the purpose of this appraisal, market value is synonymous with most probable selling price, which is that price at which the appraised fee estate would most probably sell if exposed in the market for a reasonable time, under market conditions" prevailing as "of the date of appraisal. Briefly stated, the transaction zone reflects the upper and lower limits of value, how high a buyer might be willing to go in the negotiation process, and how Iowa price the.seller would be willing to accept. FUNCTION OF APPRAISAL. The function of this appraisal" is to estimate the market value of the subject property so as to assist the lender in considerations for loan collateral underwriting purposes and to serve as a benchmark for value in that regard. THE APPRAISAL RIGHTS. The rights are those of an unencumbered fee simple estate, "an absolute fee", without limitations or restrictions other than those of eminent domains, escheat, police powers, taxation and other applicable limitations approved by local health and public welfare regulations including local land use and subdivision ordinances. DEFINITION OF TITLE The property rights being appraised are those of the fee simple estate, free and clear of all encumbrances and liens. Real Estate Appraisal Terminology defines a fee simple as "an absolute fee; a'fee without limitations to any particular class or heirs or restrictions, but subject to the limitations of eminent domain, escheat, police power and taxation." 1_ "LEGAL DESCRIPTION !',' I>· The subject property is briefly described as Parcel C, city of Winslow Short Plat Recorded under Auditors No 8911140213, W63 being the south 141.71 feet of the North West quarter of Section 26, Township' 25, Range 2 East.

It is primarily concentrated within the counties of Snohomish, King and Pierce which are located between the Puget Sound shoreline and the Cascade Mountains. TOPOGRAPHY: Land use in the Puget Sound area is dominated by urban areas, small agricultural valleys and forests. The Cascade Mountains act as a natural divider from the eastern portion of the state. The Puget Sound area is concentrated around the Puget Sound shoreline. CLIMATE: The' Puget Sound basin is protected from heavy rainfall and high winds off the Pacific Ocean by the Olympic Mountains. On the east, the Cascade Mountains shield the area from the winter cold of east- ern Washington. The area has a mild climate throughout the year. POPULATION: King County has the greatest concentration of population in Washington state with an April 1990 population of 1,449,509. It's largest city, Seattle, has a 1990 population of 512,094. Pierce County is located twenty-six miles south of Seattle and has Tacoma as its largest city. In 1990, it has a population of 174,497 . Snohomish County is just eleven (11) miles north of Seattle. Its largest city, Everett, has a 1990 population of 69,136. Kitsap County is located across Puget Sound from the other three and in 1990 its largest city, Bremerton, has a population of 37,080. From 1980 to 1990 population in this region grew from 2,240,437 to 2,722,063. Though only a 21.15% increase, the 481,626 new inhabitants amounts to nearly 79% of Washington State's population gain during this time. This region accounts for 56% of the total state population of 4,826,675 as of April 1990. Paralleling the national trend, there has been some shift of population from the city to the surrounding communities. Seattle proper lost population between 1980 and 1986 before increasing slightly in 1987 through 1990, while most of the surrounding communities gained. Seattle's population fell from 493,846 to a low , . I· ", i. 1 :'.-; 1- 1_ I·.·· .:" : .•.. I. I··, ~ of 488,200 before increasing to 512,094. During this same period, the largest gains in King county were in Redmond, Kent, Kirkland, and Bellevue; and Lynnwood in Snohomish county. This change in Seattle demographics does not reflect a flight from the city as much as a change in the makeup of the city residents in relation to available living space. The average house- hold size is decreasing as the larger families are being replaced by singles and younger couples with few or no children. Population projections by the Washington State Office of Finan- cial Management predict a 21.56% increase for the Seattle/Everett PMSA, from the censu~ level of 1,607,618 (1980), to 1,953,600 in 1991. Proportionally greater gains are expected in Snohomish county during this period. The following chart shows the population growth in the Puget Sound Area between 1980 and 1990.

In April 1990 the area population of 2.72 million residents accounted for over 56% of the Washington total. The region comprises less than 10% of the state's land area, giving an average population density of about 377 persons per square mile relative to the state average of 64 persons. EMPLOYMENT: The economic base is non-farm oriented; the value of farm products sold accounts for less than 10% of the state total; largely derived from poultry and dairy operations. Conversely, non-farm activity is important and diverse. In September 1988, non-farm payroll employment in the area averaged 993,200 workers and represented over 51% of the state total; the manufacturing employment share was approximately 50%. The Boeing Airplane Company is still the largest single employer in the area, but as the I '-- region's economy has expanded and diversified, the dependence on Boeing has lessened. Nor is Boeing the only manufacturer of transportation equipment in the area. PACCAR (railroad cars, trucks and heavy equipment), is also one of Seattle's largest employers. Two other large manufacturing industries are forest products and food processing. Eighty percent of the Seattle area economy, however, is involved in non-manufacturing activities. Seattle is one of America's leading ports. It is the largest u.S. center for "Overland Common Point" (o.C.P.) shipments and ranks among the top nationally in terms of container export traffic. As the largest urban area north of San Francisco, and west of the Rocky Mountains, Seattle is the northwest's major center for trade, distribution and services. Another industry that has been booming in Seattle is the tourist and convention industry. Following are employment trends for the major sectors comprising the Seattle/Everett PMSA non-agricultural ~mployment: MANUFACTURING Durable Goods Lumber & wood products stone, clay & glass products Primary metals Machinery exc. electrical Electrical machinery Transportation equipment Aircraft other transportation equip.

L , . I ," ,~ Two other major sociological trends -an older population and more working women --are a key impetus in the growth of service jobs. The Seattle area is already the health care center of the Pacific Northwest. And, in the five years between 1982 and 1987, a 23% increase brought employment in the medical professions and health services to over 35,000. As more women enter the work force and have less time for the traditional homemaking activities, the demand for support services -food preparation, housekeeping, personal services, is ever on the rise. Although Boeing is located outside the' Seattle city limits, a major portion of the Puget Sound region's employment is in the city of Seattle. The University of Washington is Seattle's second largest employer with 16,000 employees and 35,000 students. Several manufacturing establishments including Boeing, PACCAR, Inc., and Weyerhaeuser Company account for most manufacturing employment. Financial institutions, retail and wholesale establishments, as well as government offices and local school districts employ the bulk of non-manufacturing workers. TRANSPORTATION: The Puget Sound area is a major transportation hub. Elliott Bay in Seattle is a fine deep water harbor and the Port of Seattle is very active in acquiring and developing new cargo terminals and facilities. The Port is ranked among the largest container handling ports in the world. Highway communications are very good. Interstate 5 which runs north-south through the city and King County extends from Canada to oregon. Interstate 90 extends east-west from Seattle over the Cascade Mountains through Snoqualmie Pass. Other highways such as Interstate 405, the East Valley Freeway, and State Highway 99 and 509 provide fast efficient transportation links within the county. The Seattle-Tacoma Airport is a large international port of entry. It is served by many large airlines with flights serving Alaska, the Far East, Europe and the rest of the contiguous United States. The airport accommodated 14,500,000 passengers in 1988 compared to about i1,400,000 in 1986. Railroad service is also very good in The Puget Sound area. Three (3) major rail lines, Amtrak, Burlington Northern and the Union Pacific have trackage running throughout the area, with the latter two running through the Green River Valley in South King county to Seattle ports. The rail lines also extend north to Canada, east over the Cascade Mountains and south to Oregon. EDUCATION: There are five Universities, five four year colleges and eleven community colleges offering a full range of programs and degrees in P' .. . : : .. ~. : . I. I l _ almost every field of endeavor located in the area bounded by Tacoma on the south and Everett on the north. Over the years, these universities and colleges have become a dynamic professional and vocational resource for the area and along with the public and private school systems, have been responsible for the high overall educational level in the area. A great number and variety of vocational schools are located in the area. Business schools, barber colleges, heavy equipment operator schools and almost everything in between, both public and private, can be found in the area. Universities, colleges, and extension colleges that offer adult education and degree-completion programs at night ar~ also available. CONCLUSION: In summary, a steady increase in popul~~ion is forecast for the Puget Sound area. This together with good educational facilities, a trained labor force, good transportation systems, and an increasing- ly diversified industrial base, indicates that the future economic trend will be for a moderate growth rate over the next several years. Due to Seattle's position as the urban center of the Pacific Northwest together with its increasing level of economic diversification, the greater Seattle economy is projected to perform better than the Pacific Northwest as a whole over both the near and long term future. \ '.- I.:; [. .... I" i,", SEA TTL E , MET R 0 POL I TAN ARE A D A T A ! ...• .: . METROPOLITAN SEATTLE DATA: Seattle is located in west central King county. Primary access into and through Seattle is via Interstate 5, Interstate 90 and State Highway 520. TOPOGRAPHY: Seattle is located in the center of western Washington, on the eastern shore of Puget Sound, an inland water body connected to the Pacific Ocean. puget Sound occupies a major lowland area between two mountain ranges, the Olympics to the west, and the Cascades to the east. Built on seven hills between the expanse of Puget Sound and the freshwater lakes to its east; Seattle has rolling terrain with an abundance of both salt water frontage and lake frontage. CLIMATE: Seattle has a mild climate throughout the year. The puget Sound basin is protected from heavy rainfall and high winds off the 1 Pacific by the Olympic Mountains. On the east, the Cascade \. Mountains shield the area from the winter cold of the mid-continent. The winter days are mild and wet. Precipitation is usually light or moderate with an occasional heavy downpour. The total annual average measurable precipitation is 37 inches. This compares with the averages of st. Louis 36 inches; Washington, D.C. 39 inches; New York city 40.1 inches; Houston 48.2 inches; and Miami with 59.8 inches. The winter days are short and summer days are long with 16 hours of daylight in midsummer. The average summer temperature is 70 degrees. POPULATION: The tremendous rate of growth in the Seattle metropolitan area during the 1950s and 1960s slowed down markedly in the 1970s. During the two previous decades, population in the Seattle-Everett Standard Metropolitan statistical Area (SMSA) increased by 30% each decade. However, in the 1970s, the rate slowed to roughly 13%. The greater rate of growth in the two county SMSA over the past decade occurred in Snohomish county, where population increased 27.4%. In King county, popUlation increased 13.9%. Much of the Seattle area's growth during the sixties was attributed to the aerospace boom. But, when areospace temporarily bottomed out in 1971, many people moved out of the area. From 1970 ':'-7. j :':.': I , .. ; -; .. ;- I '- i. f::: ,,; .. ' t. to 1973, the PMSA population dropped by over 15,000, from 1,424,611 to 1,409,400. The local economy has since dramatically turned around. In 1976, population in the Seattle metropolitan area reached its 1970 level and continues to grow. Population in 1989 reached 1,876,400. Population projections by the Washington state Office of Financial Management predict a 22.6% increase for the PMSA from the census level of 1,606,618 (1980) to 1,~69,967 in 1990. Proportion- ally greater gains are expected in Snohomish County during this period.

Nor is ·Boeing the only large manufacturer of transportation equipment in Seattle. PACCAR also manufactures railroad cars, trucks and heavy equipment. Historically Lockheed Shipbuilding and Todd Shipyard were major Seattle employers before the decline of the shipbuilding industry. Two other large manufacturing industries are forest products and food processing. Three-fourths of the Seattle economy, however, is involved in non-manufacturing activities. Seattle is one of America's leading ports. It is the largest U.S. center for "Overland Common Point" (O.C.P.) shipments and ranks first nationally in terms of container export traffic. As the largest urban area north of San Francisco, and west of the Rocky Mountains, Seattle is the northwest's major center for trade, distribution and services. Another industry that has been booming in Seattle is the tourist and convention industry. 6). ~;, .:.:. I I .. I L The significant economic expansion that has occurred since 1975 in both the public and private sectors and the growing awareness of the livability of the Pacific Northwest are in large part responsible for Seattle's current status as the regional financial, industrial and trade center.

There are over 5,000 acres in the city limits zoned for industrial use, of which about 5% is vacant and available in parcels ranging in size from about one-quarter to ten acres. Terrain is varied, subsoil is clay and piling is not normally required. COMMERCIAL: Seattle is served by three levels of commercial activity: (i) neighborhood/community , shopping centers; (ii) the central downtown shopping district and; (iii) regional shopping centers. Neighbor- hood centers are typically small and keyed primarily to grocery markets, drug stores, variety stores and small service establish ments. Downtown Seattle provides the localized needs of banking, grocery and services, as well as clothing stores, restaurants, hardware stores, offices, entertainment, etc. Northgate, a regional shopping center located seven miles north of'Seattle, consists of four major department stores and over 110 additional stores and. shops. There is 1,156,000 square feet of gross leasable area, and parking for 7,000 cars on the 52-acre site. TRANSPORTATION: Seattle is well served by all modes of transportation --free- ways, railroads, buses, an international airport, deep water port facilities, a ferry system, ·and an excellent local mass transit system. To a great extent, Seattle's multi-faceted transportation network, and hence its exceptional accessibility, are responsible for the recent economic growth and diversification in the area. Two major interstate highways facilitate travel north to Vancouver, British .Columbia, south to San Diego and east to the midwest. and Atlantic Seaboard. Amtrak provides daily rail service to Vancouver, B.C., Chicago, Salt Lake City and Southern California. Greyhound and Continental Trailways provide bus service to practically any city in the continental united states from Seattle. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, 13 miles south of the central business district, is one of the nation's most modern air traffic facilities. It is served by 37 commercial freight trucking lines and 27 commercial airlines, 13 of which are international carriers. The airport handled over 14.5 million passengers in 1988. Seattle's harbor, Elliott Bay, is one of the finest deep water ports in the world, with depths of up to 600 feet. Port of Seattle facilities include 16 commercial piers, 46 ship berths which can handle ships of up to 1,400 feet in length, and vast quantities of warehouse storage space. .... ;, !. i. l i '" UTILITY SERVICES: water service is provided by the City of Seattle Water Department.

Seattle is a total health care community, involved in medical research and development, equipment manufacturing, education, medical transport services, and general and specialized care. such diversity within this industry lends strength to the Seattle area economy. No matter what the affliction, Seattle area hospitals have the appropriate treatment facilities available. Medical facilities include 25 general hospitals with 4,916 beds, approximately 1,150 physicians and surgeons, 600 dentists and 70 osteopathic physicians and surgeons. Seattle's unique geographic location offers a wide spectrum of recreational and entertainment opportunities. Its proximity to large bodies of water, mountains and forested areas provides activities for outdoor enthusiasts. Seattle's downtown area provides both sights to see and things to do. The Seattle Center is a year-round 74-acre convention and family entertainment center that provides residents and visitors with a magnificent array of facilities and services. ~. ' .. ', . :,': . . ': :: . .... : .' i L. Its excellent endeavors have given Seattle an international reputation in the fine arts including: The Seattle Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Opera Association, Seattle Reperitory Theatre, Seattle Art Museum and ACT Theatre. Seattle has a rich and diverse resource in its 5,000-acres of parklands. More than 400 parks are available. Baseball, football and soccer fields abound. Almost unlimited opportunities exist for strolling, jogging, roller skating, bicycling, swimming and picnic- ing. There are 136 tennis courts distributed among the Seattle parks. Outdoor sports,are enjoyed all year around. Freshwater and saltwater fishing are superb, and there are opportunities for boating, sailing, swimming and water skiing as well as numerous opportunities for snow related activities. Seattle is the home of three professional sports teams -the Seahawks (football), the Mariners (baseball), 'and the Supersonics (basketball). Other popular spectator sports' include University of Washington Husky football, horseracing at Longacres, automobile racing at Seattle international Raceway, and the annual unlimited hydroplane race that takes place during Seafair Week. ' In general, the Seattle area ranks high among Metropolitan cities in quality of living and environmental considerations. A recent study by Midwest Research Institute, a non-profit research group based in Kansas City, ranked Seattle third in quality of life among cities with a population of 500,000 or more. This represents the fourth such designation during the past three years. In 1989, Seattle was designated by several national publications as the "Bes~ City in the West" in which to live. This designation was based on c comparison of. "quality of life indicators" for ten major western cities. The Environmental Protection Agency listed Seattle third, nationally, in terms of environmental quality . EDUCATION: There are 33 Catholic, 8 Protestant and 1 Jewish parochial schools in the Seattle area. Included in these 42 schools are 6 Catholic and 3 ,Protestant high schools. University of Washington, Seattle University and Seattle Pacific College are all 4-year colleges and Seattle Community College is an accredited 2-year college. Seattle public schools offer a complete vocational education program. Also, there are specialized schools in Seattle offering training in business, electronics, apartment management, detective schools, airline schools, and barber and beauty schools. ,,;. The University of Washington has a total enrollment of nearly 35,000 students with evening enrollment of about 7,000 in credit and non-credit courses.

I"" I""' "" CITY OF RENTON Renton, located in Central King County, is on the south shores of Lake Washington and is approximately ten to fifteen miles south of downtown Seattle. The main traffic route through Renton is Highway 405 and state Highways 167, 169, 515 and 900. Interstate 405 links Lynnwood and Interstate 5 in the north and travels down the east side of Lake Washington through Redmond Bellevue and Renton" and connects back to Interstate 5 just to the west of the Renton border. It is therefore highly accessible to alII these communities as well as those connected by the State Highways including Auburn, Kent and Issaquah. The population of Renton has steadily increased from 18,453 in 1960 to 36,760 in 1989 and the greater Renton"area is believed to be over 100,000 today. continued increase of multi-family housing and the annexation of residential lands have contributed to the growth pattern. Below is a brief overview of economictrends within the community including manufacturing and industrial patterns, commercial activity, transportation, utilities, city government and educational opportunities. MANUFACTURING AND INDUSTRIAL. There are over two hundred manufacturing firms in the service area. The principal products are: aircraft, railraod cars, machinconstruction and maintenance, corrugated cardboard containers, pipe and ceramics,meat packing,poultry equipment, coil springs, engineering, rendering, scaffolding cement castings, plastics, lumnber and light metalproducts.

I'.' • , ....• . .-I • , .:. ..... : '.;. (: , .. NEIGHBORHOOD DATA The subject is located in the north west sector of the City of Renton. The area is clearly defined by topography to the north and Highway 405 1;0 the south. Due to the steep rise in the topography immediately to the north of the railroad tracks there is not an easy north south traffic pattern and Interstate Highway 5 ( to the west ) and Rainier avenue ( to the east) are the major routes. East west travel is far easier as both Grady Way and South 7th cross the area . Much of the area is developed with Office development. There are some old houses close to Grady way but many of these are also used as offices for businesses that have a greater demand for the use of the land. The office buildings vary widely in design and age and the newer structures tend to be larger and have more appealing fenestration. There is some vacant land other than the Black River Business Park and further development can be anticipated as demanded by the market. Although, not in the immediate subject area, the land to the south of Highway 405 is also of similar use and is probably the area of main competition. The Boeing Company has acquired the Longacres Race Track and it is very difficult to measure· the impact of a move to this area by the Boeing headquarters to this location. It is possible that it may detract slightly from the subject area and increase the popularity of the area south of the highway. The variations at present appear to be minimal. There is a reciprocal of the Boeing purchase is that it lessens the amount of zoned land available for development. The future of the area appears to be one of continued growth as demanded by the market. The past growth has been slow but steady. The market has been selective and in the current market developers are not building speculatively. an anchor tenant appears to be an essential for any development to commence. , E N ~ 0 Nln-II 1 --~-. , , , --'--, " ·-;.jr..:~~i':.' ~ _.oF . .,,:!!'1!!!..1.!! . --", "'~ 'I ~'I'I ."''' . .. ,,' . l ~I .. .. .: .. SITE DATA The subject site comprises a single legal parcel located at the north end of Naches Avenue SW and is part of the land known as Black River Business Park. Currently there is no access and Naches Avenue will have to be extended to obtain the necessary access as required by the Fire Marshall. The instructions received to complete this appraisal are to assume that such access will be obtained and approval will be given by the City of Renton. The Black River was a subsidiary of the Green River but since the controlling of the level of Lake Washington and flood control within the Kent Valley, there has been no water flow in recent years. The subject property appears not to have ever been affected by the river and instructions to do this appraisal assume that none of the subject land is designated "wetland" Th'e site area is given as 233,901 s.f. or 5.37 acres and is very irregular in shape. The north boundary is the easement for the railroad tracks and runs SE to NW and is very slightly arced. The west boundary arcs just east of south and the south boundary runs more or less east west. The land is essentially flat and is covered with heavy secondary growth that is considered to have no commercial value. Services. There are no services at present but the building to the south is fully serviced. There is every reason to believe that the sewer and water could be extended to the subject site. These services currently dead end on Naches Avenue approximately 500 feet to the south. Soil. No soil analysis has been made or provided but nearby information shows that the subject soils are Woodinville series which is a classification that ranges from fine sandy loam to silt loam that are usually found on level ground and judging by the nearby improvements have, adequate baring quality for office park development. These are relic river Meander deposits and are organic silts, clayey silts and interbeds of peat and wood detritus with variable thickness of two to eight feet.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE: In appraisal practice, the concept of Highest and Best Use represents the premise upon which value is based. In the context of market value, highest and best use is defined as: The reasonable and probable use that will support the highest present value, as defined, as of the effective date of the appraisal. Alternatively it is that use, from among reasonable, probable and legal alternative uses, found to be physically feasible, and which results in the highest land value. It should be recognized that in cases where a site has existing improvements on it, the Highest and Best Use may be determined to be.pifferent from the existing use. Our investigation leading to a conclusion of Highest and Best Use was designed to simulate tHe actions and thinking of prudent and knowledgeable purchasers and pursued the following logical sequence: 1. Possible Use: To what use it is physically possible to put on the site in question. 2. Permissible Use (Legal): What uses are permitted by zoning and deed restrictions? 3. ·Feasible Use: What possible and permissible uses will produce any net return to the owner of the site. 4. Probable Use: The use must be probable, not speculative or conjectural. There must be profitable demand for such use and it must return to the land the highest net return for the longest period of time. 5. Highest and Best Use: Among the reasonable uses, those uses which will produce the highest net return or the highest present worth. The existing buildings are substantial but are old, varying types of construction and are a significant under improvement for the site. The.square footage offered is well below that permitted under the zoning. It is therefore considered that redevelopment of the similar in nature and scope as the proposed project, as permitted by the zoning represents the highest and best use of the site at this time. HIGHEST AND BEST USE ( cont ) The subject property is vacant and as such could be developed in accordance with the OP zoning. The principal of Highest and Best is a time related concept and it is reasonable to assume that all the vacant land in the Black River Office Park could not be developed at the same time in that there would be too much space to be absorbed by the market and that the development will follow a systematic pattern. This poses the problem,as to whether the subject would be the next site to be developed. This question however can be applied to any site that is available for development and therefore the sales of similar property are incorporating the markets answer to this question. It is therefore concluded that the highest and best use of the site is to develop to a maximum as permitted'under the current zoning. , . pONING DATA The subject property is in an area zoned OP which is an office park classification and is established to provide areas appropriate for professional,administrative and business offices, certain manufacturing and supporting services in a campus like setting. Details of this zoning and the similar MP zone is attached to the rear of this report. ASSESSMENT AND TAX DATA The subject property is assessed as follows: Land Improvements Total 375,000 o 375,000 Property taxes are in the sum of $5,088.15 -.'. METHOD OF APPRAISAL. There are three basic approaches to value namely, the Cost Approach,the Income Approach and by Market Comparison. There are variations of these threeapproaches which can beutilized but it is these three methodologies that are most frequently utilized. The Cost Approach entails estimating the value of the land as if vacant and adding to i-t;: the replacement cost of the improvements. This approach to value is most applicable when the improvements are new or near new where the depreciation or obsolescence is minimal. The Income Approach measures the Present Worth of the future benefits and entails capitalization of the projected income stream at a rate consistent with the demands of the market. Market Comparison is based on the principle of substitution, in that no one will pay more for a property than those properties that are available at a comparable price that offer comparable utility. The appraisal of vacant land tends to negatethe use of the Cost Approach, because there are no improvements and the Income Approach, because there are no improvements to generate an income stream. This leaves direct market comparison. This is the course that the market follows. Any purchaser reviews the listings and sales to find out what is available and also what has been paid for similarly zoned land. Sales ~ill be reviewed and a conclusion reached as to the value of the subject.

J.: I, t l ' , ANALYSIS The sales listed are considered to be indicative of market activity in the Renton area. No recent sales have been found in the OP zone. It has been necessary to review sales in the MP zone area. It is therefore considered necessary to comment on the difference between these two zoning classifications. As stated under the Zoning Data these two zones are described in more detail in the addendum. I have discussed these two classifications with the city of Renton and it is considered that'the differences in these two zones are minimal. The OP zone encourages office development but permits certain manufacturing whereas the MP zone encourages manufacturing but permits certain office development. 'I'he main restriction on the MP zone to off ice development appears to be mainly one of size. The zoning classifications both appear to be acceptable to a Business Park type development. It is therefore considered that the values of land in these two zones are essentially the same. Sale No 1 is close to the subject but lacks some of the identity of the subject property. 'I'his site has some wetlands and is undulating topography with only nominal vegetation. The site is also close to the sewage treatment plant but is not visible from this site. I consider the subject to be slightly superior to this site primarily because of location. Sale No 2 is located to the south of Highway 405 and currently has limited road frontage relative to the size. There is normally a sliding scale in value in that as the lot size increases the value p.s.f diminishes. There is no visibility from any main roads t~ this site and while the subject has no obvious visibility it is closer to the main routes. It is considered that this sale sets a lower limit of value due to its size. Sale No 3 is the reciprocal of the previous sale in that it is much smaller than the subject and is closer to the main routes. Both these features suggest that the subject value has to be lower than this indicated sale price. These two sales tend to set the parameters of value for the subject property. Sale No 4 however tends to refute this trend to some extent. It is a much larger site but has good frontage. There appears to be some wetlands on this site but they are relatively small. This site is level and has very little site preparation needed. Notwithstanding the subject is considered to have a higher value p.s.f. than this sale because of the size difference. Sales No 5 and No 6 are included to show the retail value in the Renton area. While retail could be built on the subject it is considered to be most unlikely because of the lack of exposure. These two sales show an extreme upper limit of value. I I. ... There appears to be no other sales that can indicate the value of the subject and while the number of sales are limited there is some consistency among those reviewed. There is a range of value from $4.20 to $6.50 p.s.f. As the subject land area is more or less in the middle of the land area of sales Nos 2 and 3 it is reasonable to place the subject value in the middle of the range of value. There is some concern that according to Kidder Matthews & Senger who are very active in the. area, prices are falling due to lack of market activity. There is a listing on Monster Road of 7.2 acres zoned MP available at $5.00 p.s.f.Although this is slightly inferior to the subject, Greg Harrell at Kidder Matthews & Senger indicates his client is preparing to lower the asking price and undoubtedly would entertain an offer well below the current list price. This trend is considered to refute the possibility of obtaining $6.00 p.s.f. and is considered to indicate a value for the subject of $5.50 p.s.f. Applying this rate to the subject area of 233,901 s.f gives a value of: 233,901 s.f x $5.50 p.s.f. = $1,286,456.00 The question arises to whether there are any differences in costs between the comparables and the subject. The only obvious difference is that the road ( Naches Ave ) will have to be extended to create a satisfactory ingress and egress to any building. There is no specific data on this point but it is reasonable to assume that a prudent purchaser would allow a deduction from the above figure to cover this expense. The best indication is that the road would have to be extended about 200 feet and the services will have to be extended about 500 feet. The two hundred feet figure is arbitrary, as the code indicates that driveways shall be 40' minimum apart. However it also states that the location of ingress and egress ... shall be subject to the approval of the Public Works Dept... It also states that there is a 330 ' maximum distance between driveways. The cost of these extraneous items can be considered to be 500 feet of services at $150.00 p.f and road and services at 200 feet at $325.·00 p.f. This totals $140,000.00 and deducting this from the above figure leaves an indicated current market value of $1,169,505.00 -$140,000.00 = $1,146,456.00 Rounded to $1,150,000.00 Consideration has also been given to the discounting of this value due to the time necessary to obtain a development permit. All the comparables are in a similar position and therefore any discounting that would apply to the subject would also apply to the comparables. Although there is need for an extension of the roads and services this could be applied for at the same time and this factor also would appear not to be an additional time factor to consider. No discount of the above figure will be made, thus leading to the conclusion that the current market value is in the sum of $1,150,000.00 .: I. ,0 ' , . r :.\ (. , " " M-P , ; , I ~~ ..

For purposes of this Ordinance, such pre-existing lots with less than the minimum area are known as "small lot M-P". CClioin small lot M-P setbacks and landscaping pro- visions may apply. See Sections 4-31-25C4a and b and 4-31-25C6a. When properties which satisfy the criteria for small lot M-P are contiguous nnd held in the same ownership. then those lots must bo developed as a single development to the greatest e.tent possible. Beforo taking advantage of the smnll lot M-P provisions, a property owner must exhaust nIl available ndminislTstivc or legal processes to aggregate the small lot M-9 parcels to the minimum lot size of thirty nve thousand (35,000) square feet, if possible. For example, if parcels of property within the same owner- ship aro separated by an alley or street, the property owner must first apply for an alley or street vacation in an attempt to aggregate the parcels. In no event will a piece of pro- perty bo subdivided to create lots to qualify for the small lot M-P criteria. The public in- terest is· served by tsking all steps necessary nnd legally permissible to encourage the fur- ther aggregation of lots that qualify as smnll lot M-P lots such that the lots qunlify for the regular minimum M-P zoning arens of thirty nve thOUSAnd (35,000) square feel. 4. Setbacks: a. Streets: All buildings or stTuctures shall be located a minimum of sixty feet (60') from any street or highway property line, except from limited· access highways where there shall be a· minimum twenty foot (20') setback. However, when any portion of n lot is shallow (threa hundred feet [300'} or less in depth measured perpendicular to nn adjacent street), the above setback standnrd shall not apply. Within such shallow portions of a lot, the setback from the street ,hall vary, so that at each point along the street, the required setback shall be twenty percent (20%) of the lot dimension measured perpendicular to the street at that point, provided that tile mini- mum setback is at least twenty feet (20') adjacent to arterial streets and ten feet (l0') adjacent to nil other streets. b. Other Yards: All buildings or stnlc- lures shall be locot;(!'d n minimum or twenLy feet (20') from all other property lines, including limiled access highways.' However, for pre--cxisting platted lots smaller than the minimum lot area in the M-P Zone, no set- backs nre required fT"Om such olher properly 4-31-25 lines, provided that the total coverage sholl not exceed sixty nve percent (65%) of the lot area on these small lots.

Adjacent to Residential Lots: When- ever n proposed use in the M-P Zone shu res n common property line with n lot designaled residential on both the comprehensive plan and zoning mop, the mmlmum setback contiguous to the common property line shnll be fifty feet (50'). Whenever an ndjacent lot contains n residential use and either the comprehensive plan or zo~ing designation or both is something other than residential, then the approprinte setbnck and landscaping adjacent. to the residential lot sholl be determined by site plan approval. A site .. plan decision to require more than the minimum setback and landscaping shall consider the iong term viability of the residential usc, the presence of other residential uses in the sun-ounding area, and such' olher indications of stability us owner-occupancy nnd housing condition. e. Use of Setback Areas: All required setback nreas shall be unoccupied nnd unob- structed except for off-street pnrking nne! londing, driveways, entrance rands, n gale- house or guardhouse, water pits, lawn splinkl.rs, walkways, landscaping, ordinnry nnd necessary utility service fncilities, utility poles, lighting nxtures, identifying and direction signs, underground installations accessory to any permitted use, and railroads.

The design of structures, including signs, shall be generally consistent in character with surrounding use;. No drive-up windows or outside automobile service shall be permitted . b. No exterior display of merchandise shall be permitted. c. In order to avoid the negative impacts of strip commercial development: (1) Retail or selected service uses sholl be developed as part of larger, planned commercial, office or industrial complexes having common architectural or landscaping themes. Such retail or service uses shall not stand alone and shall not occupy more than fifty percent (50%) of a jointly developed building complex. (2) Direct arterial access to individual uses shall occur only when alternative access to local or collector streets or consolidated access with adjacent uses is not feasible. (3) Roof sib'llS shall be prohibited. Free-standing signs shall not exceed ~n feet (10') in height and shall be located at least twenty feet (20') from any property line, except for entrance and exit signs. 3. Setbacks: a. Streets: All buildings and structures ahall be located a minimum of sixty feet (60') or twenty percent (20%) of the lot depth, whichever is less, from any public street or highway property line. In any case, if the adjacent public street is a major or secondary arterial, the setback shall be at least thirty feet (30'). 4·31·1C b. Other Yards: All buildings and structures shall be located a minimum of twenty feet (20') or fifteen percent (15%) of the lot width, whichever is leas, from any property line which does not abut a public street or highway. c.

Adjacent to Residential Lots: Whenever a proposed use in the O·P Zone shares a common property line with a lot that is designated any residential use on both the City of Renton comprehensive plan Bnd zoning mnp, the minimum setback contiguous to the common property line shan be fifty feet (50'). Whenever an adjacent lot contains a residential use nnd either the compre'hensivc plnn or zoning designation or both is something other than residential, then the appropriate slltback and landscaping adjacent to'the residential lot shan be determined by site plan approval. A site plan decision to require. more than the minimum setback and landscaping shall consider the long term viability of the residential use, the presence of other residentinl uses in the surrounding aren, and such other indications of stability as owner·occupancy and housing condition. e. Use of Setback Areas: All required setback arens shall be unoccupied and unobstn.lctcd except for off·street parking and londing, drivewuys, entrance ronds, lawn sprinklers, walkways, landscaping, ordinary and necessary utility service facilities, utility poles, lighting fixtures, identifying and direction signs and underground installations nccessory to any permitted use. f.

I. 4·31·16 C3t) 4-31·16C3b above; and the rear setback not adjacent to a public street may be reduced or eliminated if the front setback is increased accordingly. The site plan decision shall be based on a finding that, with reduced set· backa, the architectural design, building orien· tation, circulation, noise and glare of the proposed project will be compatible with adja· cent uses and with the purpose and intent of the O·P Zone. 4. Height: Building heights in the O·P Zone shall be established with consideration to adjacent ·Iand uses and shall be determined as follows: a. Adjacent to Single FamilylLow Density Multi·Family Uses: No height limit shall be required provided tho t for each one foot (1') of building height there shall be provided one foot 0') of yard setback on the periphery of the site where the office park use ia adjacent to a single family or low density multiple family use located on a lot designated single family or low density multi·family on the City of Renton comprehensive plan and zoning mep. b.

Such landscaping shall include tiees over six feet (6') in height placed no more than thirty feet (30') on center or in clusters. g. With site plan approval, the ·perimete,· landscaping setbacka required by Section 4-31· 16C5a and b above may be reduced in width up to filly percent (50%) if the equivalent square footage of landscaping is provided elsewhere within the site. Site plan approval shall be based on a finding that the alternative landscaping arrangement provides buffering nnd site amenities equal to or better than thal which would be 'achieved by strict applicntion of the Code. The relocated land· scaping shall not be located within the renr setback of the site. 6.

The subject site comprises a single legal parcel located on the west side of Naches Avenue SW and is part of the Black River Business Park. There is frontage to Naches Avenue although the maps reviewed do not indicate whether the road offers frontage to the total east boundary. ' The site offers 2'54,036 s.f.( 5.83 acres) and although the boundaries are irregular the site in reality is almost square offering a very viable shape for development. The west boundary abuts the City of. Renton storm water retention pond. The property has a maximum depth of approx 595 feet. This is the south boundary which runs east west. The land is essentially flat and is covered with heavy secondary growth that is considered to. have no commercial value. The soil and services are the same as Lot 3 except that the services are more or less level with the south east corner of the site. A site plan is attached on the following page. HIGHEST AND BEST USE. The definitions etc as set out in the body of the main report apply to this site and it is concluded that the highest and best use of this site is also a development to a maximum as permitted by the current zoning. METHOP OF APPRAISAL. As this site parallels Lot 3 the methodology used and the comparables are the same. The market comparison approach will be used as per the main report . · . ! .. ! ! 1 . ;;." I L. j. VALUATION. The comparables used in the main report are equally applicable to Lot 4 as they are to Lot 3. However the services and the road are already in front of the subject property and the deduction taken in the main report as pertaining to Lot 3 do not apply to this property. It is therefore concluded that the $5.50 p.s.f. value estimated as being the current market value should apply to this property. this shows the following calculation; 254,036 s.f. x $5.50 p.s.f = $1,377,398.00 Rounded to $1,378,000.00 or EN T flY I bJ09)(.>tYI41 r: ' ~ ...

Lot 6 comprises a single legal lot, but the north half of this site to which this report relates to, is at present not a separate entity. The description following relates to the total parcel and the division of land is NOT part of this report. all costs incurred in the division of the site are to be already expended. Lot 6 is located to the north-west of Lot 3 and has a common property boundary. Like Lot 3 the north boundary abuts the railroad tracks and is arced. the south boundary is also arced and almost parallels the tracks. The west boundary is straight and runs almost north south, whereas the east boundary ( common with Lot' '3 ) runs north-east to south west. The site area of Lot 6 is given as 262,183 s.f. and therefore'the area that is being appraised offers 131,091.5 s.f. The site is essentially level although the land rises very slightly towards the tracks and is covered with mainly scrub bush and a few secondary growth trees. Services. There are no services currently abutting the site. The nearest water and sewer mains are to be found approximately 1,000 ft to the south on Naches Avenue SW. To develop the site it would be necessary to extend these services and the road to the subject site. The soil conditions are the same as Lot 3. A site plan is attached on the following page. HIGHEST AND BEST USE. The definitions etc as set out in the body of the main report apply to this site and it is concluded that the highest and best use of this site is also a development to a maximum as permitted by the current zoning. METHOD OF APPRAISAL. As this site parallels Lot 3 the methodology used and the comparables are the same. The market comparison approach will be used as per the main report. i. ;\ C ! .... [ l~ l. [ ' . . I' VALUA'l'ION The comparables used in the main report are equally applicable to Lot 6 as they are to l,ot 3. 1I0wever the services and the road need to be extended to the subject property and the deduction taken in the main report as pertaining to Loot 3 do not apply to this property. It is difficult to perceive that this lot would be developed before loot 3 and the expense to extend the road to Lot 3 would be already incurred by the developer of Lot 3. It would be unreasonable to deduct the full lengt~ of the road required whet! they have already been deducted in the appraisal of Lot J which is under the same ownership. It is however reasonable to assume that to extend the road an additional 500 feet will be necessary and to be consistent the same costs as set out in the body of the main repor't would equa1.l.y apply to this property. 'I'herefore these costs are ~'Stimated to be 500 feet at a cost of $325.00 per foot or $J6~o~00.00. In addition the question of discounting the indicated value needs to be considered. This site is unl.ikei.y to be developed prior to either Lot J or Lot 4 and sj.milarly any developer is unlikely to want to incur development expense to develop this site when.Lots 3 & 4 can be more readily devel.oped. It ii not unreasonable to assume that if Lot 3 and/or 4 are developed this site will not be built upon until the buildings erected on loots 3 and 4 are occupied. In the current market it would be unreasonable to assume that the market could absorb three buildings. As this is a projection into the future there is no way to prerlict what the market absor.btion will be but it is reasonable to assume that a prurlent pur.chaser wi.I.I. discount the present value. It is considered that it takes at least two years to obtain permits and to build an office building and as the road will pass two lots a deferment of four years would appear reasonable. 'rhe value of the subject can be set out as follows: 131,091.5 s.f X $5.50 p.s.f $72J,003.25 Less roads and services $162,500.00 $558,503.25 Discount @ 12% ( factor. 0.6355 x 0.6)55 Indicated value $:J54,9?9.00 Hounded to $355,000.00 i ' .. I . I'" 1:.:. The question of what discount rate is open to debate and 12% is well above current interest rates. However the four years used as a deferment period is considered to be a minimum and the factor used is almost the same as taking 9.5% over a five year term. It is therefore considered to use the minimum period and the lower rate would not be consistent with the market's thinking.

This interim report, with the accompanying maps, identify two categories of critical areas: wetlands and fish habitat. This inventory/mapping product was developed using existing resource information such as maps, aerial photographs, reports, and limited field surveys to define the location and nature of the wetland and stream resources within the City of Renton and in an area of King County east of the city. ~ area is defined as the "sphere of influence" (Figure 1) .. The locations of wetlands, streams, and lakes within the city were digitized onto the existing City of Renton AutoCAD mapping system. Wetlands and streams were given identification numbers and their locations were identified by township, range, section, and hydrologic subbasins. The locations of wetlands, streams, and lakes within the sphere of influence were determined from three major sources: the King County Sensitive Areas Map Folio (1990) and accompanying King County Wetlands Inventory (1983); the Washington Department of Fisheries stream catalog (1975); and July 1990 color aerial photographs at a scale of 1 inch equals 1,000 feet. Time did not permit field surveys of wetlands or streams within the sphere of influence. \ The following section provides a description of wetland and stream study methodology and a su=ary of these resources. 1 (, I • --, ~--. ""-'~ . • J i \:-i-:'\ Figure 1. City of Renton Critical Areas Inventory Study Area - Renton Incorporated Area and Sphere of Influence 2 .-.. " . , STUDY METHODOLOGY Wetlands City of Renton Incorporated Area Existing literature was reviewed to determine the known or likely presence of wetlands within the City of Renton corporate boundaries. The following information was used to conduct the interim wetland inventory: • 1981 Reconnaissance Study of Selected Wetlands in the City of Renton; • wetland reports prepared for properties within the city (see Citations); • U.S. Soil Conservation Service -1973 Soil Survey of the King County Area, Washington; • Washington Hydric Soil List; • National Wetland Inventory-(NWI) maps -Mercer Island and Renton Quadrangles; • Windshield survey of identified wetlands; • 1990 true color aerial photographs (1 inch equals 1,000 feet) of the city. The following descnbes how each of these sources was used in the study. City of Renton -1980 Reconnaissance Study of Selected Wetlands in the City of Renton. This report identifies and describes 12 wetlands within the city. The wetlands . identified were mostly large (over 15 acres) and, at the time of the study, represented the most conspicuous wetlands within the city. Information concerning size, location, type of wetland, vegetation, and hydrology was reviewed and maps of wetlands were compared to . the 1990 aerial photographs. Available Wetland Reports. Wetland reports prepared for properties within the City of Renton were reviewed. Because several of these reports contained actual delineations, wetlands identified in these reports were considered to be the most accurate source of information. In addition, the reports contained more thorough information regarding vegetation, hydrology, and soils than did other sources. SoU Survey and Washington Hydric Soils List. Soils within the City of Renton were identified using the King County Soil Survey and King County Area maps (1 inch equals 24,000 feet). The soil survey is based primarily on aerial photograph interpretation and is therefore considered only an indicator of general soil types and not a precise soil 3 " , . delineation. Soil types identified within the city were compared with the Washington Hydric Soils List to determine whether they are included in the list of hydric soils. The presence of mapped hydric soils does not definitely indicate the presence of wetlands in a particular area. Only those areas with hydric soils lacking non-hydric inclusions were considered for the critical areas inventory. These soil types are usually poorly drained, organic soils and good indicators of potential wetlands .. National Wetland Inventory Maps. NWI maps of the city (1 inch equals 24,000 feet) were reviewed to identify previously inventoried wetlands. As with the soil survey information, wetland delineations on NWI maps are based primarily on aerial photograph interpretation and represent approximate boundaries of potential wetland areas. Windshield Surveys. Wetlands digitized onto the AutoCAD base map were field checked using the 1990 aerial photographs as a guide. The windshield survey was used to verify the presence of the wetlands and to identify any land use changes that occurred since the 1990 aerial photographs. Due to time constraints, no attempt was made to locate wetlands not reported in previous literature or identified from the aerial photographs. 1990 True Color Aerial Photographs. A series of true color 9 inch by 9 inch aerial photographs taken in July 1990 and of a scale of 1:12,000 (1 inch equals 1,000 feet) were reviewed to confirm wetlands defined from the other sources and to possibly identify other wetlands. The 1990 aerial photographs represent the most recent account of land use and . wetland changes within the city. Sphere of Influence Information on wetlands within the sphere of influence outside of the corporate boundaries of the City of Renton and within King County was derived from the King County sensitive areas map folio (1990) and the King County wetland inventory (1983). Locations of wetlands were transferred directly onto a 1:24,000 U.S. Geological Survey Mylar base map of the area. No field surveys of wetlands were conducted to verify the presence of wetland or changes caused by land use changes since 1983. Compilation and Summary of Data Sources Wetlands identified by the above sources were digitized onto an AutoCAD 1 inch equals 1,000 feet base map for use during the field reconnaissance survey. The series of . 1990 color photographs and 1989 black and white aerial photographs having a scale of 1:24,000 and two enlarged 1988 aerial photographs approximately 1:5,500 were used to check for alterations of wetlands identified by one or more sources. Information on each wetland was presented in tabular form. Because of the different level of certainty inherit to each data source, wetlands identified by more than one source were referenced by the most recent and accurate source. . The relative accuracy of the 4 " I I sources, from the most accurate to the least, is indicated as follows: wetland delineation reports, aerial photographs, City of Renton 1981 Wetland Report, NWI maps, and Soil Survey. Fish Habitat· An inventory of fish habitat within the City of Renton was performed as part of the critical areas survey. Initially, all surface waters and drainage basins within the city's corporate boundary were identified by examining aerial photographs and topographic section maps of the city (1:2400 scale). Stream reaches outside the corporate boundaries, but within the sphere of influence (the area defined for study under the Growth Management Act) were identified using the King County Sensitive areas map folio (King County 1990). After identifying surface waters in the study area, fish resource information and related literature were reviewed to determine fish use in identified surface waters. Agency personnel, and others with knowledge of Renton streams, were contacted to gain additional insight into fish US!) in the area. On May 1, 1991, fisheries biologists from Jones & Stokes Associates and R. W. Beck conducted windshield surveys of several streams known to provide fish habitat. In addition, several other streams with questionable fish habitat were inspected. During these surveys, stream reaches were photographed and general information was collected using low-level . stream survey techniques (Appendix C). Stream reaches were determined by major changes in macrohabitat type. (e.g., slope, discharge, water quality). The types of data collected included: stream width and depth; temperature; pool to riffle ratio; dominant substrate type; stream gradient; presence of barriers to fish passage; presence of fish; riparian cover; and adjacent land uses. . A map of streams within the Renton city limits was produced by digitizing stream channels from existing topographic maps (supplied by the city) using AutoCAD. RESULTS Wetlands City of Renton The results of the wetland inventory within the Renton corporate boundaries are presented in Table 1. Figure 2 presents the identification number and location of wetlands within the city. 5 " , , II liq 1 ~ 1 I 1ft '" t 1 J I H!

The exact boundaries and acreage of many of these wetlands have not been identified in the field and ·therefore represent approximations of location and acreage. . Sphere of Influence The results of the wetlands inventory within the sphere of influence are shown in Table 2. Figure 3 presents the wetlands located within the sphere of influence. A total of 67 wetlands, .totaling approximately 1,076 acres, were identified within the city. The number and acreage of wetlands (approximately 259 acres) includes lakes. As .with the wetlands identified in the city, the number and location of wetlands within the sphere of influence represents an approximation. Exact acreage would require boundary delineation and surveying. Fish Habitat City of Renton The results of the stream inventory are su=arized in Table 3 and shown in Figure 2. Anadromous and/or resident salmonid fish use is reported to occur in at least six of the identified streams, including: the Cedar River, May Creek, Honey Creek, Springbrook Creek, Maplewood Creek, and Panther Creek. Salmonid use is limited to specific life stages and stream reaches in some of the smaller creeks, but is widespread in other surface waters such as the Cedar River. A brief description of fish usage and habitat reported for the inventoried streams is presented below. It is important to note that most of the information from literature was gathered prior to the severe winter storms of 1990/1991, and habitat conditions in some streams may have been altered. Cedar River (Map ID Numbers S18 through S23). The largest surface water identified within the study area is the lower Cedar River, which flows for approximately 4.5 miles through the Renton City limits before entering the southern end of Lake Washington. Land use adjacent to the river changes from rural, near the eastern city boundary, to mixed residential-co=ercial and finally becomes mostly industrial toward the mouth. The lower ' river also supports recreational uses. The river maintains a gentle gradient throughout the lower reaches. Instream habitat is composed primarily of long glides, with occasional pools and rimes in the braided sections of the river. Streambank vegetation is comprised of intermittent stands of deciduous trees 11 Table 2. City of Renlon Critical Are .. -Sphere of Influence Wetlands Invenlory ' ...

Extensive areas of cleared land occur along the riverbank, primarily in developed areas. Riprap bank protection has been placed along some sections of the river, particularly in sections of downtown Renton. Anadromous salmonids which use the lower Cedar River include chinook· (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho (0. kisuteh ),and sockeye salmon (0. nerka), and steelhead trout (0. mykiss). These salmonids primarily use this lower section (within the Renton City limits) as a migration corridor for adults, and a rearing corridor for juveniles. Chinook and sockeye salmon spawn in the mainstem river, while coho salmon spawn in the smaller tributary streams. However, spawning primarily occurs upstream, beyond the eastern boundary of the city. May Creek (Map ID Numbers S9 and 10). May Creek originates from Lake Kathleen. and flows westerly for approximately 8.6 miles to Lake Washington near Kennydale. Approximately 2 miles of the stream is within the Renton city limits. May Creek Park provides a protective buffer of open space between most of the creek and adjacent areas within the city. Between Lake Washington Boulevard and Lake Washington, May Creek is channelized with some riprap bank protection. This section of the creek skirts a commercial land use area, and very little bank vegetation is present. The lower portion of the stream, from Lake Washington Boulevard to approximately river mile (RM) 1, flows within a broad ravine with a moderate slope of about 2.5%. Dense deciduous growth is present along the lower mile of stream. Between RM 1 and RM 2, the stream lies within a steeper sided ravine. The bank cover remains dense, but consists of a mixed conifer and deciduous stand, with conifers and shrubs covering the upper slopes. The creek channel averages about 15 feet in width, with the substrate composed primarily of gravel and cobble. Instream habitat is comprised predominantly of high quality riffle habitat, glides, and a small percentage of pools. Several anadromous salmonids use May Creek for spawning and rearing. Coho salmon are the dominant species with chinook and possibly a few sockeye occurring occasionally. Cutthroat trout (0. clarki) and steelhead also occur in the stream in limited numbers (Schneider pers. comm.). Honey Creek (Map ID Numbers Sl1 and S12). The following description of the lower reaches of Honey Creek was obtained from a report prepared for the City of Renton Public Works Department (Watershed Dynamics Inc. 1990). Honey Creek is a 1.2 mile-long tributary to May Creek, which flows to Lake Washington within the Renton city limits. The lower reach of Honey Creek (below Sunset Boulevard) flows through a narrow, steeply incised canyon, which supports a dense canopy of evergreen and deciduous trees, as well as various understory shrubs. A sewage pipeline parallels the creek throughout most of its lower reach. An access road for the sewer line runs adjacent to the creek and crosses the creek in several locations. 20 The lower reach of the creek averages 8 feet in width and is generally shallow. Stream substrate is largely composed of 3 to 6 inch gravel, with larger cobble substrate common throughout the creek. Stream gradient is moderately steep, varying from 2.5% to 7%. Instream habitat is comprised predominantly of high gradient riffle habitat, with a . . small percentage of pool and run habitat. . The upper reach of Honey Creek (above Sunset Boulevard) lies on a gentle slope (approximately 1%). Through the uppermost two-thirds of the upper reach, the creek has a moderately wide riparian buffer and good canopy cover consisting of primarily deciduous trees. The land use along most of Honey Creek is low density residential. However, the creek traverses an area of light commercial development along Sunset Boulevard through a culvert. Several partial blockages to fish migration may exist in the lower reach of the creek. These blockages are the result of elevation changes and debris dams, with the degree of blockage varying with creek flow. Several salmonid species are known to be present in the lower reach of Honey Creek, including cutthroat trout and coho salmon. There was insufficient data to determine if the cutthroat trout were resident or anadromous. The upstream extent of fish use in Honey Creek is not known. To augment natural coho spawning in the Honey Creek, students in the Renton School District elementary schools have planted approximately 2,800 coho salmon fry each year (Epler pers. comm.). Kennydale Creek (Map ID Number 513). Kennydale Creek is a small creek located between Lake Washington and Interstate 405. The creek originates near Interstate 405, flowing down a moderately steep hillside for approximately 1,500 feet to Coulon Park, where. it discharges to Lake Washington. The streamside vegetation consists of a dense canopy of large deciduous trees and . understory of shrubs. In addition, the Renton Parks Department has recently completed vegetation enhancement activities to provide cover for waterfowl and shade for the creek on the section of creek that flows through Coulon Park (Betlach pers. comm.). Fish habitat is limited in the creek because of the steep gradient and low flows. Fish have not been reported in the literature and were not observed in the creek during the survey. Johns Creek and Unnamed Tributary (Map ID Numbers 514 through 516). Johns Creek is a manmade drainage which was built to convey stormwater runoff from the Boeing . plant (Berg pers. comm.). The channel collects runoff along the east side of the plant, flows through Coulon Park, and discharges to Lake Washington. Areas of the streambank within Coulon Park have been enhanced to provide habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife that use the creek. Streamside vegetation within the park. 21 includes cottonwoods (Populus spp.), and various ornamental shrubs and trees. Deciduous trees and shrubs line the creek above the park. Fish habitat in the stream is most likely poor because of inferior water quality, high temperatures, and low flows. Anadromous fish have not been oj:lserved in the creek, and . probably do not use the creek for either spawning or rearing. Sculpins (Leptocottus sp.) and suckers (Catostomus sp.) are the only fish species which have been observed in the lower section of Johns Creek by park personnel (Berg pers. comm.). An unnamed tributary to Johns Creek is located in the industrial section of the city near the Boeing plant. This tributary has a higher gradient and carries less flow than Johns Creek. Fish habitat is likely poor in this tributary as well. Springbrook Creek and Unnamed Tributary Streams (Map ID Numbers S1 through 58). Springbrook Creek is formed by four east valley tributaries including the mainstem, a tributary originating from Springbrook Springs, Mill Creek, and Harrison Creek (Washington Department of Fisheries 1975). Springbrook Creek is considered one of the major tributaries to the lower Green River (Metro 1991). From its headwaters in Kent, the creek flows north for approximately 10 miles along the east valley hillside before entering the Black River channel. A pumping station was constructed at the mouth of the Black River channel by the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) in 1971 to prevent waters from the Duwamish River from backing up into the old Black River channel and Springbrook Creek. A downstream and upstream salmonid fish passage facility was incorporated into the pump station facility. A Denali fish ladder was installed in the pump station to allow upstream passage of adult salmonids. According to the Washington Department of Fisheries, however, the operation of the pumping plant precludes the upstream migration of cutthroat and steelhead trout (Metro 1991). This could indicate that upstream passage of juvenile coho salmon during the winter would also be restricted. The airlift pump station that passes downstream migrant salmonids typically operates from April 1 to mid-June (Allmendinger pers. comm.) In 1984, Springbrook Creek was channelized to contain increased peak flows from local drainages north, of Interstate 405 and the Southcenter area. The channel is approximately 8 miles long and is called the P-1 (primary) Channel (Metro 1991). Because the P-1 Channel generally follows the former Springbrook Creek channel, it is referred to as both the P-1 Channel and Springbrook Creek (Metro 1991). In 1984, SCS widened the P-1 Channel between the pump station and Grady Way to form the P-1 Pond. Prior to channelization, Springbrook Creek supported runs of coho salmon and other anadromous species such as steeihead, cutthroat trout, and Dolly Varden (Sa/ve/inus maima). The Washington Department of Fisheries currently release 80,000 to 100,000 coho fry annually into the P-1 Channel. Adult progeny from these releases return to Springbrook Creek to spawn. A fish counter at the pump station indicates that 47 to 166 adult coho ascended the fish ladder each year between 1983 and 1990 (Allmendinger pers. comm.) (see Table 4). 22 Table 4. Adult Salmonids Ascending the P-1 Pump Station at Black River during the Years 1983 to 1990 Year Quantity 1983 -1984 155 1984· 1985 119 1985 -1986 47 1986 -1987 82 1987· 1988 166 1988 -1989 95 1989 ~. 1990 77 Source: Metro 1990 . The P-1 Channel does not provide habitat suitable for either adult spawning, because of lack of suitable spawning substrate. The fact that adult salmon ascend the fish ladder and enter the P-1 Channel suggests that spawning occurs farther upstream in the creek and its tributaries. The channel provides limited juvenile rearing habitat due to poor water quality (e.g. elevated summer water temperatures and low dissolved oxygen levels) (Metro 1991). Unnamed Independent (Map ID Number SI7). A small unnamed creek which flows to Lake Washington is located near the northern boundary of the city and drains a small sparsely populated hillside to the east of Interstate 405. The drainage basin of the creek is small and steep, with an average stream gradient of 7 to 10%. A narrow band of streambank vegetation comprised of shrubs and berry bushes, lines the creek. It is likely that the steep gradient precludes fish entering all but the lower most reaches of the creek. Panther Creek (Map ID Number S28). The following description of Panther Creek was obtained from a 1990 report prepared for the City of Renton Public Works Department (R. W. Beck and Associates 1989). Panther Creek originates at Panther Lake, a shallow, dystrophic lake located outside the Renton city limits. From Panther Lake, the creek generally flows northwest, entering the Renton city limits at Talbot Road, and continues into the Panther Creek wetlands. The creek passes through a culvert under Talbot Road which empties approximately 4 feet above the stream grade and forms a barrier to fish migrating upstream. Near the south end of the wetland, the creek flows through a culvert under the State Route 167 into a 36-inch-diameter culvert, then flows in an open channel along the East Valley Highway to Southwest 34th Street, where it makes a 90 degree tum to the west, flows for a short distance on the surface, then enters an underground pipe to Springbrook Creek. 23 Fish habitat in Panther Creek is limited for several reasons including low summertime flows, migration barriers, and conveyance pipes between Springbrook Creek and the Panther Creek wetland. A fishery survey conducted by R. W. Beck and Associates in 1989 yielded one adult and one juvenile rainbow trout, and several nongame species. These fish were thOUght to originate from Panther Lake rather than residing in the lower creek. Maplewood Creek. Maplewood Creek is a small tributary to the Cedar River, located in the Maplewood area of Renton. Two forks form the headwaters of the creek; they converge several thousand feet downstream to form the mainstem. The mainstem flows through a relatively steep ravine, then is channelized through the Maplewood golf course. The upper reaches of the creek (above the confluence of the headwaters) are characterized by a dense riparian corridor, which creates a good buffer between the creek and residential development. Instream habitat is composed of long riffles, with occasional shallow pools. The middle reach of the creek (between the confluence of the headwaters and the golf course) has a steeper gradient, but is characterized by the same riparian and buffer characteristics, as well as similar instream habitat. The primary land use surrounding the middle stream section is residential. The lower reaches of Maplewood Creek flow through the Maplewood Golf Course. This stream section is a channelized, low-gradient riffle and contains virtually no riparian cover. Below the golf course, the stream is conveyed, through culverts, to the Cedar River. Fish use in Maplewood Creek is restricted to the lower reaches of the creek due to the presence of a diversion structure and a bedload trap on the creek just upstream of the golf course. Anadromous fish use below these structures are likely restricted due to the small stream size, lack of cover and structure, and higher summer stream temperatures. Fish were not observed during the survey. Unnamed Ceda.r River Tributary. This unnamed tributary is approximately 1 mile in length and enters the Cedar River about 1 mile east of Interstate 405. The creek originates in Tiffany Park and enters a culvert at the corner of Talbot Road and South 15th Street. Upstream of the culvert the gradient varies from 1 to 8%. The stream is buffered from surrounding residents by the thick stand of deciduous trees present in the park. Anadromous fish use in the creek is unlikely due to the steep gradient between the exposed· stream channel and the Cedar River. 24 Sphere of Influence Table 5 presents the inventory of streams within the sphere of influence of the city. Figure 3 identifies the location of those streams .. A total of 37 miles of streams were identified from .the King County sensitive area map folio (1990) and the Washington Department of Fisheries stream catalog (1975). Table 6 presents a summary of lakes (also see Figure 3) within the sphere of influence. These lakes total 259 acres. 25 '.' " tv 0\ .... No. s.1t S2J( SlK .. It .. " S6J< S11< SBK ..

R,qeation and Ppm Spgce MqstlU' Plan Pqrlc qnd Facility Needs Linear Parks Definition: Linear parks are open space areas, landscaped areas, trail systems and other land that generally follow stream corridors, ravines or other elongated features, such as a street, railroad or power line easement. This type of park area usually consists of open space with development being very limited. Trwl systems are often a part of this type of area. Analysis: In Renton, this classification includes two park sites. They are: Burnett Linear Pork Cedar RIver Troil Recommendation: • (Linear Park) Comments: 1.00 Acres Developed 24.15 Acres Port. Dev The present ratio of .4 acres per 1,000 population represents about 25 acres of land. The majority of ·the land is found along the banks of the Cedar River. The City has recently acquired an old railroad ri~t of way from Cedar River Park up to the eastern edge of the City. When completed It in itself will become a major lineal park. In addition, there are many other opportunities for lineal parks utilizing utility corridors. The above standard reflects this potential. The standard of .9 acres/l,OOO population means that 37 acres are presently needed and this number will rise to about 51 acres by the year 2000. Open Space Needs Definition: This type of park area is defined as general open space, trail systems, and other undeveloped natural areas that includes stream corridors, raVines, easements, steep hillsides or wetlands. Often they are acquired to protect an environmentally sensitive area or wildlife habitats. In other cases they may be drainage corridors or heavily wooded areas. Sometimes trail systems are found in these areas. VI. 12 · . City of Renton Pqdc. Recreation and Open Sqp Master Plan Pgrlc qnd Facility Nwl.t Analysis: In the Renton are·a, a significant portion of land (360.02 acres) is devoted to open space. It includes: Cedar RIver Natural Area Bryn Mawr (County) Lake Street Lower Talbot May Creek (County) Renton Park (County) Renton Wetlands Springbrook Watershed 151.48 Acres 4.10 .34 4.50 W.60 19.00 10.00 38.00 Undeveloped Undeveloped Undeveloped Undeveloped Undeveloped Undeveloped Undeveloped Undeveloped In addition to this present inventory, a significant amount of land has been identified by the City as an open space resource such as wetlands, steep hillsides, drainage ways and other SIgnificant arc;as. Recommendation: (Open Space) Comments: The 12.7 acres per 1,000 population is a substantial increase over what now exists. This figure represents what should be preserved. A majority of this type of land is wetlands and other open space that is not suitable for development. The standard of 12.7 acres per 1,000 population means that 520 additional acres should be currently preserved. By the year 2000 this number will increase to 709 acres. The survey also revealed that wildlife habitats were the number one type of open space that the City should try to preserve. Wetlands areas were also considered an Important resource. Special Use Areas Definition: Specialized facilities include areas such as small landscaped parcels, mini-parks, specialized single purpose parks, and land occupied by major structures. VI ·13 .. ' .. City of Benton fa Rcqy:ation and Open Spqce Master Plan Recommendptioas • Promote the Cedar River corridor for recreation access and use • Offer unique and specialized recrsstlon arass • Preserve open space arass and significant environmentally sensitive arsss • Develop a city-wide trail system Promote Cedar River Corridor Access and Use: The Cedar River and the surroundin~ hillsides are an important natural resource that should be reserved for public use. This unique open space corridor could become the most important recreation area in the entire Renton park system. Recognizing its importance, the plan makes a strong commitment to expanding the public ownership and recreation use of the Cedar River Corridor. OtTer Unique and Specialized Recreation Areas: In the paSt, the City's emphasis has been to develop community and neighborhood park areas. Now that a stron~ foundation of park areas has been established, It is recommended that the CIty looks towards developing some unique and interesting park facilities and areas. With this in mind, the plan reco~ends new and different types of facilities such as a working farm, a nature center and an outdoor performance center. Preserve Open Space and Significant Environmentally Sensitive Areas: The Renton area is presently und~rgoing strong development pr~ssures: Lands that were on~e undesirable and unsUltable for development are rapIdly bemg converted to housmg and other urban spaces. As a result, the need to preserve land for open space is becoming increasingly critical. Unless land is acquired in the next several years, very little additional public land will be available. Recognizing this need, the plan emphasizes the preservation of open space areas such as wetlands and significant wildlife habitats. Develop a City-wide Trail System: With the existence of many utility easements and steep hillsides, the City of Renton has the opportunity to develop a comprehensive trail system that will serve the entire community. A trails plan has been completed, and portions of the Cedar River Trail are already developed. The Park and Recreation Plan recognizes the importances of trails as a recreation element and utilizes them as major linkages to the park system. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PARK AREAS, OPEN SPACE AND TRAIL SYSTEMS: In this section, a plan for parks, open space and trails is presented. These recommendations are diVIded into the following park categories 1. Neighborhood 2. Community Parks 3. Regional Parks 4. Unear Parks 5. Open Space Areas 6. Special Use Arsss and Facilitiea 7. Trail Systems VIII-9 IOj" I, ", qry of Renton Park. Rt:qttatjon gnd Open Spqc« Ma.rter Plan BccqmmmdatiQN West Planning Area Earlington Park Site 39 Neighborhood Park This existing 1.54 acre parcel is located in the west hills, off Thomas Avenue S.W. and is very small for a neighborhood park. For the most part, the park serves as rugh~fcen area for various kinds of activities and place for picnics, walks and . dren's activities. Facilities at the park include a multi- purpose basketball court, a children's playground, a multi-use grass area, and a picnic area. The park is fully developed. No changes or improvements are recommended. Proposed Empire Ridge Open Space Site 40 Open Space Area . This open space area is located north of the Pacific Coast Railroad right-of- way. It consists primarily of steep hillsides. It will eventually become part of a much larger open space area (see Site 41 on page VIII-36). VIII -34 .. .' aD' qfBenton PqrIc. RecmyiQn and apea Space Mq.rter Plan R(commmdgtjon,r Southwut Planning Area SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS: Proposed Black River Open Space Site 41 Open Space Area This open space area will eventually consist of land exceeding 70 acres and is located north of the abandoned Black River Channel. The land consists primarily of wetland area and is comprised of an unique vegetative complex of emergents, shrubs, old growth hardwood species and a noteworthy stand of old growth Oregon Ash. This wetland area serves as an important habitat to several species of wildlife, including herons. The presence of a heron rookery and various sources of wildlife are valuable assets to the . community should be protected. It is recommended that the City acquire enou~h land around the existing rookery to ensure its protection. In additIOn to land acquisition around the rookery itself, It is recommended that a second boundary be formed to restrict uses that create disturbances during the critical nesting season of the year. Because of the interest by both public and private groups to preserve this site and make it available for educational purposes, a major Interpretive center is now being proposed. This site is part of a much larger open space area found to the north (see Site 40 on page VIII-33). Proposed Springbrook Creek Park Site 42 Linear Park This proposed park contains about 13 acres of land along Springbrook Creek WIthin the south industrial area of Renton. It is recommended that the property along the creek be developed with a continuous trail system that connects to several activity nodes or "mini-parks" at select points. These areas would be developed with picnic areas and/or exercise stations. The primary users of this area would be industrial employees who work in the area. Most of the use would occur during the daytime hours. Facilities along this linear park could include: • Paved trail system • Picnic areas • Landscaped areas • Exercise stations • Trimmed grass areas Proposed Cascade Waterline Park Site 43 Linear Park This proposed 17 acre linear park site follows the existing Cascade pipeline right-of-way. The park extends from the east city limits to Springbrook Creek. The proposed site links several existing park and open space areas and would contain a trail system only. This site also exten~s into the South Planning Area. VIII -37 . " City o(Rentpn ComprMenrjye Park. Rmeqtion and PPm Smzcc Mast". Plqn Actjqn Plqn :::;: .' ':". Site # Planning Acq, Dev.

Webley, Administrator , city Wu:ie Master Trails Plan The enuance to the Springbrook Trail could be enhanced to serve as a more dramatic gateway. CorTIdor'slevel of Natural Amenltfes: They are medium to high. The 'VaUey' area is comprised oflWo drainage systems in addition to the Green River. They are the Springbrook Creek and the proposed pol Drainage Channel. Associated with these riparian systems are wetlands which suppon a variety of plant and birdlife. . There are also other wetlands within the vaUey which pro- vide habitat for plant and wildlife. Average Slope of CorTIdor: It is Oat. BLACK RIVER Regional Connections: Renton:Tukwila, Seattle Sub-regional Connections: Rainier Business District, Ren- ton Center, Earlington Business Park, Metro Sewage Treat- ment Plant, Container Corporation of America, Longacres, Black River Office and Industrial Parks, Black River Ripar- ian Forest/Heron Rookery, Fon Dent Park, and the Chris- tianson Trail. Access to Corridor CoUector: S.W. 7th SI., Oakesdale Ave., Mooster Rd./68th S. W., Sunset Blvd. W. Gateway Potentfal: Gateway potential is high at the bridge over the Black River where 68th Ave S. W. (unincorporated King County) becomes Mooster Rd. (Renton city limits). This point serves as a road and trail juncture, connecting Oakesdale Avenue, Monster Road, Fan Dent and the Black RiverTraiL Natural Amenltfes: They are medium to high. The Black River Riparian Forest is an exceptional open space amenity. It contains a unique vegetational complex IncludIng a stand of old growth Oregon Ash. The wetland area Is also high In wildlife diversity and density. The steep banks of the green- belt above the railroad tracks are highly visible and feed the Black River Riparian system. They are a high priority for protectfoo. Average Slope orCorTIdor: The slope Is mostly tlat with roU- ing hills along Monster Rei. NORTHWEST CORRIDORS WEST SHOBE LAKE WASHINGTON Regional Connections: Renton, King County, Seattle Sub-regional Connections: Downtown Renton, Municipal Airpon.

AirponWay Potentfal to functfon as a Gateway 10 the CIty: The potential Is high because it offers the only non-motorized route from Seanle. CorTIdor's level of Natural Amenltfes: There are views to uke Washington and MI. Rainier along much of this corri- dor. The City of Seattle has built an impressive model for maximizing the natural amenities of this corridor througb the linear park system developed along uke Washington Boulevard. Average Slope of CorTIdor: The slope is predominantly Oat with some gentle, rOiling hills. ;; / -- Feasibility: Feasibility is dependent upon cooperation witb tbeSeanle Water DepanmenL Itseemsveryllkelybowever, siDce UaJI uSe is cOmpatible witb waterline operations ..

Addition- ally, the Oty of Tukwila is planDiDg to Improve the S. lSOth Street bridge over the Grcco River for pedestrians &lid cyclists. This project bas been included in the 1989 King County Open Space Bond Issue as a joint project between Tukwila, Kent, Renton, Auburn,lIIId King County -with the County acting as the lead agenL BLACK RIVER TRAIL RecommeDded Route: The trall originates from the CBD following S. 4th SL westbound to Smither! Ave. S., then jogs over to S. 4th PI. where it continues westbound for 1III0ther block to Rainier Ave., across from the Renton Center. The Black River corridor CODtinues beblnd the shopping center, extending through the Black River Riparlan Forest to MOD- ster Road. Opportunitles/Amealtlcs: This wetland area is comprised of a unique vegetative complex of emergent, shrub, IIIId old growth hardwood species. Worth Doting is a stlUld of old 'growth Oregon Asb IIIId cottonwood. The Riparian Forest, ricb in blrdll!e, is associated with a combined storm water detention and wiJdIl!e pond, wblcb is known as the forebay pond. There is an island within this pond wblcb supports a productive heron rookery.

Although commercial development threatens to encroacb upon this area, It It carried out caretully and sensitively, some IlmJted development could provide a veblcle for trall development as well. Constraints: The site bas been considered for ofllce park . development for many years. Ponions have already been developed; others are still under consideration. , FeaslbWty: Although tbls area is already planned for office park development, combined economic and environmental factors may prevent this from occurring and consequently, the Black River forest may be preserved as public open Ipace. The present 600-foot protective buJrer zone surrounding the rookery precludes trall development withiD this area. FiDaJ detenniDation on these IlmJts is still pending. .39 I ! ~ . .'

Constraints: Burnett Ave. between S. 7th and S. Sth Is presently a parking lot for the CBO. Parking needs for downtown are one of the most imponant factors wblcb will be coasldered as neweffons to revitalize tbe CBO get under- ,way. These concefDS sbould be rellected in any new designs proposed for BurnetL FeaslbWty: The development of a bike lane along Burnett would require the loss of a lane of dOWDtown parldng. UnW parldng Issues are better resolved, sucb a loss would proba- bly not be supponed by down tOWD businesses and sboppers. Though, on a positive note, bicycle lanes could encourage alternative modes of travel. Bumm is anchorrd by rile Cedar Riv~ TraU to rile IIOnh and Bunten LWar Park to the south. This linear space offen an opporrunily to atend rile Bunten LiMar Park concept further along the corridor. EARLINGTON TRAIL Recommended Route: The Earlington TraI1 follows S. W. 7th SL from Burnett Avenue to Oakesdale Avenue. Opportunities/Amenities: ThIs scgment provides good ac- cess to the Industrial, researcb, and business parks develop- ing in tbIs area. The Earlington TraI1 would also Unk the CBO witb tbe Black River ForesL The trail will SCM: 81 a IXInnector between the Burnett and Springbrook TralIs. Although S. W. 7th Is In need ofrepaving, the right-of-way Is sufficient to accommodate a bike lane. ThIs route provides the only safe alternative to the auto dominated S.W. Grady Way. City Wide Master Trails Plan AlIhough S. W. 7rh SL is In need ofrqwvlng, rile right-of-way is su!Jic~nt to accommodlltt a bike lane Constraints: The road surface Is in poor condition, requir- ing repaving and striping. The sewer grates need to be realigned to prevent bike tires from Slipping between the grates wbicb presently run parallel witb the tire direction. FeaslbWty: ThIs Is a very feasible bike route because there Is still sum,cient right-Of-way along S. W. 7tb to develop a bike lane. However, for economic reasons tbe city could not afford to repave and stripe bike lanes alone without includ- ing them as a pan of a total road improvement Without an LID to suppon sucb an ereon, tbIs improvement might take a (ong time to occur. SPRINGBROOK TRAIL Recommcnded Route: The Springbrook TraI1 follows the Donh-soutb lXIurse of Springbrook Creek from the pro- posed Black RiverTral1 down to S.W. 43rd SL in the Green River Valley. Opportunlde$/AmenJdes: ThIs mixed-use traiJ, located along a scparated right-of-way, will provjde a major nonh-south passage through Renton's Green River Valley. The Springbrook TraI1 will SCM: asa useful IXImmuter route because tbIs area Is In the process of becoming a thriving office, &dentlfic reseastll, and industrial park.

A_II to CorTIdor CoUector: Coal Creek Parkway, 1-90, ' N.E. 44th, N. 30th, N.E. Park Dr., Park Ave. N. Ga_Y,Potentlal: From the nonheast, Lake Washington Blvd. is the only non-freeway anerial into the city. This 'corridor bas, enonnous potential to function as a gateway. The interseCtion of Lake Washington Blvd. with the pro- posed May Creek corridor could serve as an exceUent gate- way into the city. I Leoel or Natural Amenities: The East Shore Lake Washing- ton corridor is rich in natural amenities. This is one of the more scenic routes with views out to Lake Washington, the Olympic Mountains, Mt. Rainier, and Oene Coulon Beach Park. The steeply sloped bl uffs and greenbelt east of Coulon enhance the setting. In addition to views direct access is provided to one of the region's most outstanding recreation centers, Oene Coulon, Memorial Beach Park. Average Slope or CorTIdor: Orade is relatively flat, suitable for bath bicycles and pedestrians.

Access to CorTidor CoUector: Lake Washington Blvd. Coal Creek Parkway, Sunset Blvd. Ga_y Potential: It is gooclat the west end of the corridor where it intersects Lake Washington Blvd. . Natural Amenities: There are abundant Datural amenities, . comprised of the May ,Creek and Honey Creek greenbelts. These contain steep and densely vegetated slOpes. Fish and wildlife are present throughout the area. A~erage Slope: The vaUey side slopes of both May and Honey Creeks are steep. However, May Creek has a wider vaUey floor than Honey Creek. AlthOUgh the slopes of Honey Creek drop steeply down the the creek, there is a level utility road which paraUels the creek south the the DevU~ Elbow. Remnants ofa residential road still exist nonh of the Elbow, up to the confluence with May Creek.

A_ss to CorTIdor CoUector: Duvalll138th Ave. S.E., May VaUeyR08d Gateway Potential: It is high because SR 900 (Sunset BlVd.) offers the major access into city from Issaquah and east King County. The intersection of Sunset and Duvall is the most likely gateway into the city because tbis point marks a tran- sition from a more rural-wooded area to a more urban-com- mercial zone. Natural Amenities: They are limited along this corridor within the city limits. However, east of Duvall Ave. the area has a nice rural quality with hoise pastures and dense stands of conifers along Renton-Issaquah Road. A~erage Slope: It is moderate, suitable for bath pedestrians . and bicyclists.

The trail is rich in passive and active =tion amenities. These include meadow.i, woods, a perched marsb, proposed balUlelds, access to tbe Cedar River, Cedar River Park, Maplewood Oolf Course, and tbe recreation land just no~ of the golf course. The trail along the railroad right-of-way,wiIl be paved to serve as a multi-use trail. The unpaved river trail and smailer secondary footpaths will provide a different type of trail experience. The Cedar RiV" trails pass through dense forest of mixed decidJ40us and evergreen species. It is of interest year-round. Constraints: Traffic noise from Maple Valley Highway bas a major impact on most of the natural zone area. Steep and unstable slopes will be a significant factor in bow the trail system is developed. Protection and enhancement of resident plant and aDimallllewill be essential to maintain- ing an environmental balance as more people are introduced into the area. Feasibility: Master Planl1lng has already been completed tor the trail system. The acqttisition otthe railroad right-ot-way is highly probable. King County has set aside funds to purchase the right-ot-way. The City of Renton alreadyoWDS the property or, has secured easements sufficient to provide . for a continuous trail system from the Civic Center to the eastern city limits at Jones Road. King County plans to extend the trail farther east towards Black Diamond. ruen in its entJrety, the Cedar Rlversystcm will be Renton's premier trail and as sucb it should be accessed by other trails in the system.

Opportunities/Amenities: The location of Renton's Civic Center at tbe City's true geographiC center makes it that mucb more easily accessible to all o(its residents. The Civic Center also contains all oftbe vital elements of civic center, city park, and municipal offices within this central core. Located within walking distance of eacb other arc: City Hall . The Public Library The Fire Dept. Jones Park Liberty Park Cedar River Park Community Center Carco Thea tre The Police Dept. Cedar River Trail Senior Center Henry Moses Pool Parks & Recreation Dept. Renton Area Multi-Service Center Within Renton's Civic Center trail segments will be inte- grated fOrming a web of coDDecting'trails leading to the civic center. Pedestrian trails feeding directJy into the center are: Cedar River, Cedar Crest, Burnett, Lake Youngs WaterllDe, Empire Ridge, and Lake Washington Trails. The CBD will act as a coDDecting trail bead for other trails, such as the Black River Trai1 which will enter the CBD from the east along the railroad right of way. In the CBD direct CODDec- tions are made to the Cedar River TraIl The Cedar Crest Trai1 will pass througb Cedar River Park, crossing the river and then CODDecting to the Cedar River Trail. The new 1-405 realignment will produce road and pedestrian bridges to Renton Ave. S. and Cedar Ave S. 1'../ ,-, ! . I.· ;'" i':" [ L SUNSET BYPASS Recommended Route: The Sunset Bypass TraU offers an· alteruative to the boulevard, the most dangerous section wbich is between DuvaU Ave N.E. and Edmonds Ave N.E. In order to bypass Ibis section turn north off of SunsetlRen- . ton-Issaquab Road on to DuvaU Ave N.E. Proceed for about one block to N.E. 17th StreeL Head west on 17th to Union Avenue. FoUow Union south to N.E. 12th StreeL Head west on 12th to Aberdeen Ave. Proceed soutb to the intersection with. SWlSCt Boulevard. . Nonh Highlands Neighborhood Connector; For acceSs Into the Highlands neigbborboodsand to McKnight Middle Sebool, tbe bypass route· turns north off ofN.E. 12th SL on to Edmonds Ave. N.E. This road serves as a spine from wbich many residentfalstreets CODDect. Monroe Connec!or; Monroe Avenue provides access to the Renton Vocational Technical Institute, tbe King County Public Works Officesl Sbops, and the District CoUrL This . anerial serves tbe densely populated Highlands neigbbor- bood. This feeder route extends south from the Sunset Bypass to N.E. 4tb Street. Opportunfdes: This route provides a safe alternative to Sunset Blvd. N.E. wbicb is designed soley for the automo-. bUe. The narrow sidewalks can not serve as a safe alteruative for bicyclist due to potential conflicts with pedestrians. Fur- thermore, the elevated sidewalks are punctuated. with numerous curb cuts througb whlcb cars pass In and out or, iii Ibis busy commercial distriCL city Wide Master Trails Plan Constraints: The bypass route is more circuitous and thus less appealing than foUowIng the more direc! route along SunseL The bypass also does not provide as easy access to tbe businesses along SunseL However, for recreational riding . and commuting, the bypass route, whlch travels through residential neigbborboods, Is safer. The intersection of Monroe Avenue and N.E. 4tb Street Is dangerous for bicyclists because N.E. 4th isa major east-west anerial wltb fast mOving automobUe trafIIc. . FeaslbWty: Presently, a Sunset Bypass route is tbe only feasible way to safely travel between central Renton and the eastern city lintits at DuvaU Ave. The feasibility is bigb for developing Monroe Avenue Into a bike traU. The street is wide with sufficient rigbtoOf-way to safely accommodate automobUes and bicylists. The location of the vocationarscbool along tbls street makes it a logical route to bave safe bicycle provisions. CEDAR RIVER TRAIL ~ecommended Route: A1tbough a traU foUowing the river souibeast from Lake Washington to Uberty Park is already In existence, it is primarUy designed for pedestrians. Mixed use is not encouraged for safety reasons. However at present, the Cedar River TraU provides tbe only safe non-motorized route and must be sbared by both pedestrians and cyclists .. Southeast of the Civic Cen ter the bicycle portion will occupy the Burlington-Northern Railroad right-of-way between Cedar Rlveund Maple VaUey Hlgbway. The bike traU will extend past the Maplewood Oolf Course to the new Renton city lintits at Jones Road. Beyond the city lintits, King CoUDty plans to continue the paved traU to Black Diamond. Opportunfdes/Amenfdes: This route CODDects the rapidly growing Maple VaUey and points east with Renton. It will provide a necessary alteruatfve to traveling the dangerous Maple Valley Hlgbway, whlch bas hlgb volumes of fast moving traffic. I In addition to safety, tbe traU will provide much more pleas- ant experientfal quality since the tracks parallel river more closely than the hlghway and are at constant grade. The sectfon of the Cedar RIver TraD east of the CBD passes througb a seeole, naturalistic setting. Constraints: TraD development is subject to acquisition of the Burlington Northern RaUroad rigbtoOf-way. City Wide Master Trails Plan --. .. ~ -,. • ~ -f. • • .. .~ .'Gt • .. -• • .., .. The bik trail will utilize the abandoMd Burlington NonhmlRaIJroad rig/ll-o[-way which parallels 1M Cedar Rivet' and Maple Valley highway.

This document contains the management recommendations for forest associated priority species. Other PHS products are available upon request· The attached management recommendations are strategies for provid- ing suitable habitat for priority wildlife species. An illustration of the species and its general geographic distribution accompany the text. These recommendations were prepared by wnw biologists, the PHS Core Team, and PHS Technical Advisory Committee using the most currein scientific literature and expert comment. Additionally, maps are available from wnw showing the specific geographic location of each priority habitat and species as a point or polygon at a scale of 1 :24,000. Please follow the procedures described in the "WOW Fish & Wildlife Data Sources" publication, dated May 1991, when ordering this information. USE: The recommendations are intended for site specific discussions with landowners to encourage retention and enhancement of suitable wildlife habitat. A management prescription may provide more or less habitat than what the recommendations indicate. Monitoring is encouraged to evaluate the effectiveness of the prescriptions. AVAILABILITY:. These recommendations are the first in a series for use by landowners, natural resource managers, biologists, and planners from private and public organizations. Management recommendations will be devel- oped for additional species and habitats as the PHS Program com- pletes its remaining phases statewide. Management recommendations for priority habitats are being developed and should be ready by late summer 1991. Each document is three-hole punched to allow for periodic review and updating as more information becomes available. Each report is dated on the last page in the lower right hand comer. PUBLIC OUTREACH: These management recommendations are being provided to county and city planners for the purpose of assisting them in complying with the Growth Management Act of 1990 and meeting the September I, 1991 deadline for classifying and designating critical areas. Simulta· neous distribution is being made to the TimberIFishIWildlife coopera· (, tors for their information and review. Technical comments should be directed to the editors, Elizabeth Rodrick or Ruth Milner. Biologists in WOW's regional offices should be contacted for assistance in inter· preting the information for field use. WOW REGIONAL Region I .

Breeding pairs on the Pacific coast occur only to about 52°N. Statewide. HAB ITA T Great blue herons occur near all types of fresh and saltwater wetlands includ- REQUIREMENTS: ing seashores, rivers, swamps, marshes, and ditches. They are found at most elevations, but are more common in the lowlands. These herons are colonial breeders, genemlly nesting in tall deciduous or coniferous trees near wet- lands. Although occasionally smaller trees, bushes, and artificial structures have been used (Bruce 1986, Blus et aI. 1980), nests are usually constructed in the largest Irees available. For example, a study in British Columbia found that most heronries occurred in Irees over 14m (50') tall and no nests were found in trees under 10m (30') high (Mark 1976). In an Oregon study, the birds nested in trees averaging seven to 25m height (23' 10 82') (Werschkul et al. 1976). Great blue herons feed on aquatic and marine animals found in shallow wa- ter. Feeding in upland fields upon mice and voles also occurs (Calambokidis, et aI. 1985) and may be important in winter, especially for herons in coastal areas (Simpson, pers. comm.). Although documented distances from an ac- tive heronry to a foraging area range from four to 29km (2.5 to 18 mL), most are located within a radius of about four to five km (2.5 to 3 mL) from the heronry (Short and Cooper 1985). Feeding territories may vary from year 10 year with respect to size or location (Hoover and Wills 1987). Birds from Pa- cific coastal colonies may depend on specific nearby shallow water areas which provide consistent, abundant food during the critical nesting and young rearing periods (Kelsall, pers. comm.). Alternative nesting and feeding habitat is probably critical to great blue her- ons. Colonies usually exist at the same location for many years, but some herons may naturally relocate their colonies in response to increased preda- tion on eggs and young by mammals or other birds, or declines in food availability (Simpson et aI. 1987). Heronries built in spruce or Douglas-fir trees may damage the host trees over time, which may also influence natuml colony relocation (Julin 1986). • Great blue herons are shy birds, generally sensitive to human disturbance and frequently the target of vandalism (parker 1980, English 1978). Herons have abandoned heronries because of housing and industrial development, high- way construction, logging, actively used roads, and repeated human intru· sions into colonies (Leonard 1985. Parker 1980. Kelsall and Simpson 1979. Werschkul et a1. 1976). Herons that have experienced few past disturbances are unlikely to tolemte human activities near their colonies (Bowman and Siderius 1984). Other studies suggest that some herons. which are frequently or consistently exposed to disturbance. may habituate to human activities (Webb and Forbes 1982. Vos et a1. 1985. Calambokidis et al. 1985. Shipe and Scott 1981). Thus. herons nesting in different locales may have different tolerance levels to humans. with colonies located close to human activities responding less to disturbance than those in remote areas (Simpson 1984). Cenain colonies may tolemte disturbance because nests are built in coniferous trees. whose f(}o liage naturally buffers the effects of human activity. or they may be inOu- enced by proximity to heavily used foraging areas (Webb and Forbes 19P,~). LIMITING FACTORS: Availability of suitable habitat which provides adequate nest sites and fced- ing areas located in the vicinity of breeding colonies. MANAG E ME NT Site specifIC management plans should be developed for individual heronries RECOMMENDATIONS: whenever activities that might affect herons are proposed. Factors to consider include. but are nOllimited to: I) The heronry's relative isolation (Henny and Kurtz 1978). Some evidence suggests that colonies located in close proximity to existing human activities can tolemte more disturbance compared to colonies located in undisturbed areas (Simpson 1984. Webb & Forbes 1982. Bowman and Siderius 1984). 2) The timing ofa proposed activity relative to the heron's nesting cycle. Herons are most vulnemble to disturbance early in the breeding cycle. It is generally agrced that herons are less tolerant of disturbance during the pre- nesting courtship period and egg laying. becoming progressively less likely to abandon nests after the young have hatched (Kelsall 1989. Bowman and Siderius 1984). 3) Topogmphic features surrounding the heronry and type of habitat sur- rounding the colony. 4) Proximity of a heron colony to likely feeding grounds (Simpson 1984. Gibbs et al. 1987). 5) Proximity to. and availability of. forest stands which might be used as alternative nest sites (Simpson 1984. Julin 1986. Gibbs et a1. 1987). 6) The numbers of potential predators. such as bald eagles or crows. in the area (Simpson et a1. 1986. Kelsall and Simpson 1979). 7) Degree of habituation to disturbance (Bowman and Siderius 1984). All authors on heronry management recommend buffer zones around the periphery of nesting sites (Kelsall 1989). Recommended buffer distances vary from I.DOOm (3280') during the nesting season (Bowman and Siderius 1984) to a year-round "no activity" buffer of 25m (75') encompassed by a 0.25km (0.4 mL) zone off limits from March through mid-May (parker 1980). • (t -. , , . .. REFERENCES: Establishment of buffer distances should be delermined by the factors discussed above, and by any other factors that may pertain to a specific heron colony. Whenever possible, a minimum buffer zone within a range of 250 to 300m (820' -980') from the peripheries of a colony should be established (Bowman and Siderius 1984, Quebec 1986 in Kelsall 1989, Vos et al. 1985, Buckley and Buckley 1976, Pullin 1988, Short and Cooper 1985, Parker 1980). All human activities should be restricled in this zone during the early nesting period, from February IS to July 31 unless sile specific nesting chronology is known (Kelsall, pers. comm. ). If dales of courtship through incubation are known to differ from these prescribed dates for a specific heronry, then timing of restrictions should reflect this local knowledge. Activities, such as logging, mechanized agriculture, road building, and housing construction, should be avoided within this zone, in order to protect the structural integrity of the buffer area (Short and Cooper 1985, Bowman and Siderius 1984). Nesting tree loss, either naturally or through disturbance, may represent a se- rious problem if availability of suitable allernative great blue heron habitat becomes limited. Therefore, stands of large trees at least 17m (SO') high and at least 4 ha (10 acres) in extent which can be buffered from disturbance, should be leCt in the viCinity of heron breeding colonies and feeding areas (Parker 1980). Large colonies would likely require more alternative habitat. Kelsall (pers. comm.) suggests leaving large nesting trees in the cenler of an area having 300m or more of isolation during the breeding season. Surrounding feeding areas, especially wetlands, should be proleCted within a minimum radius of 4km (2.5 mi.) of existing colonies. This is especially criti- cal where herons coexist in areas with high human activity (Hoover and Wills 1987). Efforts to increase awareness of great blue heron nesting colonies should con- centrale on inventories, information exchange, and education. Nest siles oc- cupied currently or in the past should be inventoried regularly, and local and stale agencies should be made aware of their exislence. Blus LJ., CJ. Henny, and T.E. Kaiser. 1980.

ELEMENT OCCURRENCE SUMMARY Introduction The Natural Heritage Data System was established by the State of Washington and the Washington Natural Heritage Program of the Nature Conservancy. It is currently maintained by the Heritage Program of the Washington Department of Natural Resources and by the Nongame Wildlife Program of the Washington Department of Wildlife. The database is comprised of "element t:)ccurrences." A:-" lI e !er.ler.t." :'5 a natural feature of particular interest because it is exemplary, unique, or endangered on a statewide or national basis. An element can be a plant community, special plant, or special animal species. An Ilelement occurrence" is a reported or confirmed locality of a native vegetation community, or of significant habitat for a plant or animal species of concern. Information on element occurrences in the state id collected from herbarium and museum specimens, scientific literature, knowledgeable individuals, and field investigations. This information is compiled in the Natural Heritage Data System for use in land-use planning and evaluating the status of Washington's natural features. This enclosure summarizes the special animal occurrences reported within or adjacent to the study area and catalogued in the Natural Heritage Data System. The Washington Natural Heritage Program manages similar information concerning special plants and plant communities. Format The Element Occurrence Summary table lists those special animals that have been reported to Occur in or adjacent to the area specified in your information request. -The first column lists the U.S. Geological Service (USGS) topographic quadrangle . -The second column lists the township, range, and section. -The third column, entitled "conf."

(Interim Ordinance) THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION I. Title IV (Building Regulations) of Ordinance No. 4260 entitled "Code of General Ordinances of the City of Renton, Washington" is hereby amended by adding Chapter 32 which reads as follows: SECTION: 4-32-1: 4-32-2: 4-32-3 : 4-32-4: 4-32-5: 4-32-6: 4-32-7 : 4-32-8: 4-32-9: 4-32-10: 4-32-11: 4-32-12: 4-32-13 : 4-32-14: 4-32-15: 4-32-16: 4-32-17: 4-32-1: CHAPTER 32 WETLANDS MANAGEMENT Findings of Fact and Purpose General Provisions Lands to Which this Chapter Applies Allowed and Regulated Activities Review Procedures for Projects with Wetlands Standards for Permit Approvals Densities and Separate Tracts Non-Conforming Activities Temporary Emergency Permit Procedure Judicial Review Amendments Severability Assessment Relief Violations Declared Nuisance Definitions Effective Date Relationship to SEPA. Findings of Fact and Purpose: A. Findings of Fact. The city council of the City of Renton, Washington hereby finds that: 1. wetlands are valuable and fragile natural resources with significant development constraints due ,1~ I "! ORDINANCE NO. 4346 to flooding, erosion, soil liquefaction potential, and septic disposal limitations. In their natural state, wetlands provide many valuable social and ecological services, including: protecting water resources by filtering out water pollutants, providing biological and chemical oxygen demand, recycling and storing nutrients, serving as settling basins for naturally occurring sedimentation and providing areas for groundwater recharge. Wetlands provide essential habitat for many species of fish, wildlife, and vegetation. Wetlands provide open space visual relief from intense development in urbanized areas, and recreation opportunities; and serve as important areas for scientific study and natural resource education. 2. Development in wetlands results in increased soil erosion and sedimentation of downstream water bodies, including navigable channels; degraded water quali ty due to increased turbidity and loss of pollutant removal processes such as sediment trapping, nutrient removal and chem'ical detoxif ication; the elimination or degradation of fisheries and wildlife habitat from water quality degradation, increased peak flow rates, decreased summer low flows, changes in the hydrologic regimen; loss of stormwater retention and slow release capacity resulting in flooding, degraded water quality, changes in the streamflow regimen of watersheds; and loss of groundwater recharge and discharge areas. 3. Buffer areas surrounding wetlands are essential to maintenance and protection of wetland functions and values. Buffer areas protect wetlands from degradation by: stabilizing slopes and preventing erosion; filtering suspended solids, nutrients and harmful toxic substances; moderating the impacts of stormwater runoff; moderating microclimate; supporting and protecting wetland plant and animal species and biotic communities; and reducing disturbances to wetland resources caused by the activities of humans and domestic animals. 4. The loss of -the social and ecological services provided by wetlands results in a detriment to public safety and welfare; replacement of such services, if possible, can require considerable public expenditure. 5. Considerable acreage of these important natural resources has been lost or degraded by draining, dredging, filling, excavating, building, polluting, and other acts inconsistent with the natural uses of such areas. Remaining wetlands are in jeopardy of being lost, despoiled, or impaired by such acts. It is therefore necessary, to ensure maximum protection for the health, safety and welfare of Renton's citizens, for the City 2 . " .," ,I, . , ORDINANCE NO. 4346 of Renton to discourage alterations of wetlands and development acti vi ties in wetlands that may adversely affect wetland functions and values, to encourage restoration of already ,disturbed wetland systems, and to encourage creation of new wetland areas. B. Policy and Purpose. It is the policy of the city of Renton to balance community desires for economic development and affordable housing with the responsibility to retain the City's remaining wetlands by encouraging higher intensity development in areas already supported by infrastructure and encouraging lower intensity development in areas containing wetlands. It is the City's policy to encourage restoration of disturbed and low value wetlands and to provide maximum protection for those high value wetlands remaining in the City. As such, it is the policy of the City of Renton to require buffers of natural vegetation around wetlands and to encourage site planning to protect and minimize damage to wetlands wherever possible. The City supports ·the concept of no net loss of wetland acreage, values and functions by protecting high value wetlands, and requiring restoration of disturbed wetlands or creation of new wetlands to offset losses that are unavoidable. In particular, the City encourages land development projects which seek to improve the hydrologic and wildlife habitat functions of low value wetlands. In addition, it is the intent of the City of Renton that activities in or affecting wetlands not threaten public safety, cause nuisances, or destroy or degrade natural wetland functions and values. The purposes of this chapter are to protect the public health, safety and welfare by preventing and managing the adverse environmental impacts of development within and adjacent to wetlands. The purposes of this chapter are to: 1. Preserve, protect and restore wetlands by regulating development within them and around them; 2. Protect the public from: a. Preventable facilities impaired; maintenance and replacement of public needed when wetland functioning is b. Costs associated with repair of downstream properties resulting from erosion and flooding due to the loss of water storage capacity provided by wetlands; c. Unnecessary costs for public emergency rescue and relief operations; and 3 , , " .I. . ,. ORDINANCE NO. 4346 d. Potential litigation on improper practices occurring in wetland areas; construction 3. Alert appraisers, assessors, owners, and potential buyers or lessees to the development limitations of wetlands; 4. Provide City of Renton officials with information to evaluate, approve, condition, or deny public or private development proposals; 5. Prevent the loss of wetlands acreage and functions and strive for a net gain over present conditions; and 6. Assist or further the implementation of the policies of the Growth Management Act, the State Environmental Policy Act, Chapter 43.21C RCW, City of Renton Comprehensive Plan, Site Plan Review Ordinance (4-31-33), Storm and Surface water Drainage Ordinance (4-22), Mining, Excavation and Grading Ordinance (4-10), Shoreline Master Program (4-19), and all other present and future City of Rent<on functional, environmental and com:muni ty plans and programs. 4-32-2: General Provisions: A. Abrogation and Greater Restrictions. It is not intended that this chapter repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing regulations, easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this chapter imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of this chapter shall prevail unless spec if ically provided otherwise in this chapter. Regulated activities approved prior to the passage of this chapter but which are not in conformity with the provisions of this chapter are subject to the provisions in section 8, "Non- Conforming Activities." B. Administration and Interpretation. The responsibility for the administration, enforcement and interpretation of this chapter shall be with the Planning /Building /Public Works Department. The Department Administrator as referenced in this chapter is the Department Administrator or his/her designee(s). The provisions of this chapter shall be held to be minimum requirements. Application and interpretation of the provisions shall be liberally construed to serve the purposes of this chapter. C. Scope. It is the City of Renton I s intent to approve projects and/or permit conduct of a regulated activity (see section 4-32-4). in 4 , ,-ORDINANCE NO. 4346 a wetland area only when they conform to this chapter or the City's interpretation of this chapter. Prior to any development' or alteration to a property containing a wetland as defined in section 4-32-3 of this chapter, the owner or designee must obtain a wetland development permit. 4-32-3: Lands to Which this Chapter Applies: A. Applicability. -1. This chapter applies to any use or development proposed on public or private property or rights-of-way within a regulated wetland or within a required buffer zone for a regulated wetland pursuant to Sections 4-32-3.C and 4-32- 3.E of this Chapter. 2. The applicant shall be required to conduct a study to determine the classification of the wetland if the subject property _ or project area is within 25 feet of a wetland even if the wetland is not located on the subject property but .it is determined that alterations of the subject property are likely to impact the wetland in question. A wetland delineation is required for any portion of a wetland on the subject property that will be impacted by the permitted activities. The study shall be waived by the Department Administrator when the application is for a single family residence on an existing lot, or when the applicant provides satisfactory evidence that a road, building or other barrier exists between the wetland and the proposed activity, or when the buffer area needed or required will not intrude on the applicant's lot, or when the property owner agrees to maintain the buffer in its existing or an improved state as determined by the City. 3. All proposed activities in regulated wetlands and wetland buffers shall comply with the requirements of this chapter. Expansion or alteration of existing activities shall also comply with the requirements of this chapter. 4. The City is authorized to adopt written procedures for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this chapter. The City of Renton shall not grant any approval or permit any regulated activity in a wetland or wetland buffer prior to fulfilling the requirements of this chapter. Such approvals/permit include, but are not limited to the following: site plan approval, conditional use, planned unit development, building permit, filling and grading permit, land clearing and tree cutting permit, right-of-way use permit, shoreline substantial development permit, shoreline variance; shoreline conditional use permit, shoreline environmental redesignation (if wetlands are involved), unclassified use permit, variance, zone reclassification, subdivision, special use permit, 5 I " . e utility adopted exempted ORDINANCE NO. 4346. and other use permit, or any subsequently permit or required approval not expressly by this chapter. B. Maps and Inventory. The approximate location and extent of wetlands in the City of Renton is displayed on the Renton Wetland Inventory Map. The Map is to be used as a guide to the general location and extent of wetlands. For the purpose of regulation, the wetland edge should be determined pursuant to Section 4-32-3.C. Wetlands, which are defined in Section 4 -32-3. C but not shown on the Renton Wetlands Inventory, are presumed to exist in the City of Renton and are also protected under all the provisions of this chapter. C. Wetlands Definition and Determination of Regulatory Edge. 1. Wetlands are those lands transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems that are inundated or saturated by ground or surface water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support and, under normal circumstances, do suppor"!: a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. For the purpose of regulation, the exact location of the wetland edge shall be determined by the wetlands specialist hired at the expense of the applicant through the performance of a field investigation using the procedures provided in the following manual: Federal Interagency committee for Wetland Delineation. 1989. Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands. U. S Army Corps of Engineers, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, U. S. Fish and wildlife Service, U.S.D.A. Soil Conservation Service. Washington D. C. cooperative Technical Publication. 76 pages plus appendices. Wetlands created or restored as part of a mitigation proj ect are regulated wetlands. Wetlands intentionally created for purposes other than wetland mitigation, including but not limited to, stormwater management, wastewater treatment or landscape amenities are not considered regulated wetlands. 2. Where the applicant has provided a delineation of the wetland edge, the City shall review and may render adjustments to the edge delineation. In the event the adjusted edge delineation is contested by the applicant, the City shall, at the applicant's expense, obtain the services of an additional qualified wetlands specialist to review the original study and render a final delineation. A final wetlands delineation is valid for two years; 6 .~. " I \ . , , ORDINANCE NO. 4346 Extensions for additional years can be approved by the Department Administrator if an application is proceeding in a timely manner through the permit process. D. Wetlands Classification System. The following classification system is hereby adopted for the purposes of regulating wetlands in the City of Renton. Wetlands buffer widths, replacement ratios and avoidance criteria shall be based on the following rating system. 1. Very Hicrh Ouality Wetlands - " Category 1 wetlands are wetlands greater than 2,200 sq. ft. which meet one or more of the following criteria: a. The presence of species listed by federal or state government as endangered or threatened, or the presence of essential habitat for those species; b. . Wetlands having 40% to 60% permanent open water (in dispersed patches or otherwise) with two or more vegetation classes; c. Wetlands equal to or greater than ten acres in size and having three or more vegetation classes, one of which is open water; d. The presence occurrence; or occurrence, or of plant at the associations of infrequent geographic limits of their e. Wetlands assigned the Unique/Outstanding #1 rating in the current King County Wetlands Inventory 1991 or as thereafter amended. 2. High Quality Wetlands - category 2 wetlands are wetlands greater than 2,200 sq. ft. which meet one or more of the following criteria: a. Wetlands greater than 2,200 sq. ft. that are not Category 1 or 3 wetlands; b. Wetlands that have heron rookeries or raptor nesting trees, but are not Category 1 wetlands; c. Wetlands of any size located at the headwaters of a watercourse, but are not category 1 wetlands; d. Wetlands assigned the Significant #2 rating in the current King County Wetlands Inventory 1991 or as thereafter amended; 7 1 \ I :-ORDINANCE NO. 4346 e. Wetlands having ml.nl.mum existing evidence of human related physical alteration such as diking, ditching, channelization. 3. Lower Quality Wetlands - Category 3 wetlands are wetlands greater than 5,000 sq. ft. which meet one or more of the following criteria: a. b. Wetlands disturbed following that are wetlands criteria: severely disturbed. are wetlands which Severely meet the (l) Are characterized by hydrologic isolation, human-related hydrologic alterations such as diking, ditching, channelization, and/or outlet modification; and (2) Have soils alterations such as the presence of fill, soil removal, and/or compaction of soils; and (3) May have altered vegetation. Wetlands that are newly emerging. wetlands are: Newly emerging (1) Wetlands occurring on top of fill materials; and (2) Characterized by emergent vegetation, low plant species richness and used minimally by wildlife. These wetlands are generally found in the areas such as the Green River Valley and Black River Drainage Basin. c. All other wetlands not classified as Category 1 or 2 such as smaller, high quality wetlands. E. Wetland Buffer Definition and Determination of Regulatory Edge. Buffers are designated areas adjacent to a regulated wetland which protect the wetland from surrounding activities and protect adjacent properties from changes in the location of the wetland edge. Wetland buffers minimize the short and long term impacts of development on properties adjacent to wetlands, preserve important wildlife habitat, allow for infiltration and water quality improvement, protect buildings, roads and other infrastructure as well as property owners from flood damage in years of high precipitation. Wetland buffer zones shall be required of all proposed regulated activities adjacent to regulated wetlands. Any wetland created or restored as compensation for approved wetland alterations shall include the standard buffer required for the class of the wetland being 8 1 \ ' • ORDINANCE NO. 4346 replaced. All buffers shall be measured from the wetland boundary as surveyed in the field pursuant to the requirements of section 4-32-3.C. F. Standard Buffer Zone Widths. The width of the required wetland buffer zone shall be determined according to the wetland category and, if applicable, the City of Renton Shoreline Master Program (SMP) designation. The buffer zone required for all regulated wetlands is determined by the classification of the wetland. If the wetland is.regulated under the SMP then the buffer width required is determined by the SMP land use designation. We!land Category Not Regulatoo By the Shureline M aster Program Standard Buffer 1) Category 1 100 feet every High Quality) 2) Category 2 (High Quality) 3) Category 3 (Lower Quality) -disturbed -newly emerging -other 50 feet 25 feet Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Regulated SMP Designation SMP Buffer Urban 100 feet Conservan~y 200 feet Natural 300 feet Urban 50 feet Conservancy 100 feet Natural 200 feet Urban 25 feet Conservancy 50 feet Natural 50 feet G. Increased Wetland Buffer Zone width. The City's Department Administrator may require increased standard buffer zone withs in unique cases -i.e. endangered species, very fragile areas, when a larger buffer is necessary to protect wetlands functions and values. This determination shall be supported by appropriate documentation provided by the City showing that increased buffers are reasonably related to protection of the functions and values of the regulated wetland. Such determination shall be attached as a condition of project approval and shall demonstrate that: 9 \ ·> \ . ORDINANCE NO. 4346 1. A larger buffer is necessary to maintain viable populations of existing species; or 2. Th~ wetland is used by species listed by the federal or the state government as threatened, endangered and sensitive species and State listed priority species, essential habitat for those species or has unusual nesting or resting sites such as heron rookeries or raptor nesting trees or evidence thereof; or 3. The adjacent land is susceptible to severe erosion and erosion control measures will not effectively prevent adverse wetland impacts; or 4. The adjacent land has minimal vegetative cover or slopes greater than 15 percent. H. Reduction of Standard Wetland Buffer Zone width . . The Depart::lent Administrator may approve a reduction in the standard wetland buffer zone widths on a case-by-case basis where it can be demonstrated by the applicant that: 1. The adjacent land is extensively vegetated and has less than 15 percent slopes and that no direct or indirect, short-term or long-term, adverse impacts to regulated wetlands, as determined by the City, will result from a regulated activity. The City's determination shall be based on specific site studies by recognized experts. The City may require long-term monitoring of the project and subsequent corrective actions if adverse impacts to regulated wetlands are discovered; or 2. The project includes a buffer enhancement plan using native vegetation and sUbstantiates that the enhanced buffer will be equal to or improve the functional attributes of the buffer. An enhanced buffer shall not result in greater than a 25 percent reduction in the buffer width, and the reduced buffer shall not be less than 25 feet wide. Such determination and evidence shall be included in the application file and public notification shall be given as specified in City of Renton City Code. I. Standard Wetland Buffer width Averaging. Standard wetland buffer buffer widths. Wetland allowed only where the following: zones may be modified by averaging buffer width averaging shall be applicant demonstrates all of the 10 1 , . 2. 3. 4. 5. 4-32-4: ORDINANCE NO. 4346 That averaging is necessary to avoid denial of reasonable use to the applicant caused by circumstances peculiar to the property; and That the wetland contains variations in sensitivity due to existing physical characteristics; and That only low intensity land uses would be located adjacent to areas where buffer width is reduced, and that such low intensity land uses are guaranteed by covenant, deed restriction, easement, or other legally binding mechanism; and That width averaging will not adversely impact the wetland function and values; and That the total area contained within the wetland buffer after averaging is no less than that contained within the required standard buffer prior to averaging. In no instance shall the buffer width be reduced by more than 50% ·of the standard buffer or be less than 25 feet wide. Allowed and Regulated Activities: A. Allowed Activities within wetlands and Buffers. The following activities shall be allowed within a wetland or wetland buffer to the extent that they are not prohibited by any other chapter or law and provided they are conducted using best management practices as specified by industry standards or applicable federal agencies or scientific principles, wetland impacts are minimized and that disturbed areas are immediately restored; and provided further that forest practices and conversions shall be governed by Chapter 76.09 RCW and its rules; and further provided they are given prior written confirmation of their allowed activity status by the Department Administrator: 1.

If an applicant feels that the strict application of this Chapter would deny all reasonable use of the property containiAg a wetland or associated buffer, or would deny installation of public transportation or utility facilities determined by the public agency proposing these facilities to be in the best interest of the public health, safety and welfare, t;,e public agency, the applicant of a development proposal may apply for a Wetland Variance. An application for a Wetland Variance shall be filed with the Department Administrator. Requirements for a Wetland Variance include an environmental review pursuant to Washington Administrative Code 197-11-300 (SEPA). A Wetland Variance shall be decided by the Hearing Examiner based on the following standards set forth in this Section: 1. The Hearing Examiner, in granting approval of a variance, must determine: a. That the applicant suffers undue hardship and the variance is necessary because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including the size, shape, topography, location or' surroundings of the subject property, and the strict application of the zoning code is found to deprive subject property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and other identical zone classification; and b.

General Standards. Permi t approval by the Department Administrator for proj ects involving wetlands or wetland buffers shall be granted only if the approval is consistent with the provisions of this chapter. Additionally, approvals shall only be granted if: 1. A proposed action avoids adverse impacts to regulated wetlands or their buffers or takes affirmative and appropriate measures to minimize and compensate for unavoidable impacts; and 2. The proposed activity results in no net loss of regulated wetland area, value, or function in the drainage basin where the wetland is located; or 3. Denial of a permit would deny all reasonable use of the property and a variance process is successfully completed to determine conditions for permitting of activity requested. (See section 4-32-4.E) B. Compensating for Wetlands Impacts. As a condition of any permit allowing alteration of wetlands and/or wetland buffers, or as an enforcement action pursuant to section 4-32-7.B the city shall require that the applicant 23 '. .. • ,. ORDINANCE NO. 4346 engage in the restoration or creation of wetlands and their buffers (or funding of these activities) in order to offset the impacts resulting from the applicant's or violator's actions. 1. Any person who alters regulated wetlands shall restore or create equivalent areas or greater areas of wetlands than those altered in order to compensate for wetland losses. Enhancement of wetlands is not considered adequate mitigation because it does not contribute to "no-net-Ioss" of wetland acreage. 2. The Applicant shall develop a plan that provides for land acquisition, construction, maintenance and monitoring "6f replacement wetlands that recreate as nearly as possible the wetland being replaced in terms of acreage, function, geographic location and setting, and that are equal to or larger than the original wetlands. The overall goal of any compensatory project shall be no net loss of wetlands function and acreage and to strive for a net resource gain in wetlands over present conditions. Compensatory mitigation shall follow an approved mitigation plan pursuant to Section 4-32-6.0 and shall meet the following minimum performance standards. The applicant shall: a. Demonstrate suff icient scientific expertise, the supervisory capability, and the financial resources to carry out the project; and b. Demonstrate the capability for monitoring the site and to make corrections during this period if the project fails to meet projected goals; and c. Protect and manage, or provide for the protection and management, of the compensation area to avoid further development or degradation and to provide for long- term persistence of the compensation area; and d. Provide for project monitoring and allow annual city inspections. C. Wetlands Creation. 1. Where feasible, created wetlands category than the altered wetland. they be lower. shall be a higher In no cases shall 2. Requirements for wetland creation as compensation areas shall be determined according to the function, acreage, type and location of the wetland being replac 7d. Compensation requirements should also consider tlme factors, the ability of the project to be self sustaining and the projected success based on similar projects. Wetland functions and values shall be calculated using the 24 • . ~. : • , . ORDINANCE NO. 4346 best professional judgment of a qualified wetland ecolog ist us ing the best avai lable techniques . Multiple or cooperative compensation projects may be proposed for one project in order to best achieve the goal of no net loss. Creation must be within the same drainage basin. 3. Acreage replacement ratio. The following ratios apply to all Category 1, 2, or 3 wetlands for creation which is in- kind, on or off-site, timed prior to alteration, and has a high probability of success. The required ratio must be based on the wetland category and type that require replacement. Ratios are det~rmined by the probability of recreating ~~ccessfully the wetland and the inability of guarantees of functionality, longevity, and duplication of type and/or functions. Wetland Category Vegetation Tvne Category I Forested Wry High Quality) S~ruh·shrub Category 2 (High Quality) Category 3 (Lower Quality) Emergent Foresteu S~ruh-shruh Emergent ForesteU S~ruh-shrub Emergent Wetlands Replacement Ratio 6 times the area altered. 3 times the area altered. 2 times the area altered. 3 times the area altered. 2 times the area altered. .. 1.5 times the area altered. 1.5 times the area altered. 1.5 times the area altered. 1.5 times the area altered. 4. The City may increase the ratios under the following circu~stances: uncertainty as to the probable success of the proposed restoration or creation; significant period of time between destruction and replication of wetland fUnctions; projected losses in functional value; or offsite compensation. These ratios may also be increased when wetland replacement is required-for remedial actions resulting from illegal alterations. The requirement for an increased replacement ratio will be determined through SEPAreview. 5. The City may decrease the ratios for Category 3 emergent wetlands to 1.0 times the area altered provided the applicant has successfully replaced the wetland prior to its filling and has shown that the replacement is successfully established for twelve (12) months. 6. If the applicant can aggregate two or more Category 3 wetlands, ranging in size from 5,000 sq. ft. to 10,000 sq. ft., into one wetland, the replacement ratio shall be reduced to 1:1. 25 .' ~. o , . ORDINANCE NO. 4346 7. The applicant, at their expense, may select to use the Wetlands Evaluation Technique (WET) (Adamus) or a nationally recognized equivalent method to establish the functions and values for the Category 3 wetland being replaced in lieu of replacement by acreage only. A third party review, funded by the applicant, and hired and managed by the City, shall review and verify the WET (or equivalent) reports. Dependent upon the results of the functions and values evaluation, a Category 3 wetland may be replaced by assuring that all the functions and values are replaced in another location, within the same basin. D. Wetlands Restoration. 1. Any Applicant proposing to alter wetlands may propose to restore existing disturbed wetlands with priority for on- site restoration and then, within the drainage basin, in order to compensate for wetland losses. Restoration acti.,v i ties must include restoring lost hydrologic, water quality and biologic functions. Applicants proposing to restot;e wetlands shall identify how the restoration plan conforms to the overall goals and requirements of the local wetlands protection program and estab~ished regional goals of no net loss of wetlands. 2. A wetlands restoration compensation project shall be approved pursuant to sections 4-32-6.A and 4-32-6.B. The following ratio applies to all Categories 1, 2 or 3 wetlands for all vegetation types unless otherwise approved pursuant to 4-32-6.F and/or 4-32-6.G for restoration which is in-kind, on or off-site, timed prior to alteration, and has a high probability of success. The required ratio is based on the wetland category and type that require restoration: Wetland Category Vegetation Type Category 1 Forested Very High Quality) Scrub-shrub Category 2 High Quality) Category 3 (Low~r Quality) Emergent Forested Scrub-shrub Emergent Forested Scrub-shrub Emergent 26 Wetlands Restoration Ratio 6 times the area altered. 3 times the area altered. 2 times the area altered. 3 times the area altered. 2 times the area altered. 1.5 times the area altered. 1.5 times the area altered. 1.5 times the area altered. 1.5 times the area altered. ~. . • f' ORDINANCE NO. 4346 E. Compensation for Vegetation Type. In-kind compensation shall be provided except where the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Department Administrator that: 1. The wetland system is already significantly degraded and out-of-kind replacement will result in a wetland with greater functional value; 2. 3 • Scientific problems such as exotic vegetation in watershed. hydrology make implementation compensation impossible or unacceptable; or and changes of in-kind out-of-kind replacement will goals (e.g., replacement wetland types). best meet identified regional of historically diminished F. Compensating for wetland Location . • 1. On-site compensation shall be provided except where the applicant can demonstrate that: a. The hydrology and ecosystem of the original wetland and those adjacent land and/or wetlands which benefit from the hydrology and ecosystem will not be substantially damaged by the on-site loss; and b. On-site compensation is not feasible due to problems with hydrology, soils, or other factors; or c. Compensation is not practical due to potentially adverse impact from surrounding land uses; or d. Existing functional values at the site of proposed restoration are significantly greater lost wetland functional values; or the than e. That established regional goals for flood storage, flood conveyance, habitat or other wetland functions have been addressed and strongly justify location of compensatory measures at another site. 2. Any off-site compensation approved by the City shall occur within the same drainage basin as the wetland loss occurred. In the City of Renton, the drainage basins are the Black River (includes the Green River ·Valley), Lower Cedar River, Lake Washington and May Creek. 3. In selecting compensation sites, the city encourages applicants to pursue siting compensation projects in disturbed si tes which were formerly wetlands, and 27 ~. . • , . ORDINANCE NO. 4346 especially those areas which would result in a series of interconnected wetlands. 4. Timing: Compensatory projects shall be substantially completed and approved by the City prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit. Construction of compensation projects shall be timed to reduce impacts to existing wildlife and flora. The Department Administrator may elect to require a surety device for completion of construction. G. Cooperative Wetlands Basin Planning, Mitigation, Banks, or Special Area Management Plans (SAMP): Mi.tigation banks are def ined as sites which may be used for restoration, creation and/or mitigation of wetland alternatives from a different piece of property than the property to be altered within the same drainage basin. Special Area Management Programs are those wetland programs agreed upon through an interjurisdictional planning process involving the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Washington State Department of Ecology, any affected counties and/or cities, private property owners and other parties of interest. The outcome of the process is a regional wetlands permit representing· a plan of action for all wetlands within the special area. 1. The City encourages, and will facilitate and approve cooperative projects wherein a single applicant or other organization with demonstrated capability may undertake a compensation project under the following circumstances: a. Restoration or creation due to problems with factors; or on-site may not be feasible hydrology, soils, or other b. Where the cooperative plan is shown to better meet established regional goals for flood storage, flood conveyance, habitat or other wetland functions. 2. Applicants proposing a cooperative compensation project shall: a. Submit a joint permit application; b. Demonstrate compliance with all standards; c. Demonstrate that long-term management will be provided; and d. Demonstrate agreement for the project from all affected property owners of record. 28 • • , . ORDINANCE NO. 4346 3. Compensation payments received as part of a mitigation.or creation bank must be received prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit. H. Mitigation Plans. All wetland restoration, compensa~ion, and/or creation projects required pursuant to this chapter either as a permit condition or as the result of an enforcement action shall follow a :mitigation plan prepared by qualified wetland specialists approved by the City. The proponent shall receive written approval of the mitigation plan by the City's Department Administrator prior to commencement of any wetland restoration, or. creation activity. Unless the City, in consultation with qualified wetland specialists, determines, based on the size and scope of the development proposal, the nature of the impacted wetland, and the degree of cumulative impacts on the wetland from other development proposals, that the scope and specific requirements of the mitigation plan may be reduced from what is listed below, the mitigation plan shall contain at least the'following components: 1, Baseline Information: A written assessment and 2. accompanying maps of the impacted wetland including, at a minimum, a wetland delinea~ion by a qualified wetland specialist; existing wetland acreage; vegetative, faunal and hydrologic characteristics; soil and substrata conditions; topographic elevations and compensation site. If the mitigation site is different from the impacted wetland site, the assessment should include at a minimum: existing acreage; vegetative, faunal and hydrologic conditions; relationship within the watershed and to existing waterbodies; soil and substrata conditions, topographic elevations;. existing and proposed adjacent site conditions; buffers; and ownership. Environmental Goals and Objectives: A written qualified wetland specialist shall be provided goals and objectives of the mitigation describing: report by a identifying plan and a. The purposes of the compensation measures including a description of site selection criteria, identification of compensation goals; identification of target evaluation species and resource functions, dates for beginning and completion, and a complete description of the structure and functional relationships sought in the new wetland.

I. Surety Devices and Penalties. 1. Performance Surety Device: The City shall require the applicant of a wetlands permit proposal to post a performance surety device acceptable to the City such as a letter of c~~dit, irrevocable set aside letter of cash in an amount equivalent to 1 1/2 times the estimated cost of the performance and with surety and conditions sufficient to fulfill the requirements of section 4-32-6.B and, in addition, to secure compliance with other conditions and limitations set forth in the permit. The amount and the conditions of the surety device shall be consistent with the'purposes of this chapter. The amount of the security can be modified to reflect more current data particularly a signed contract. In t~e event of a breach of any condition of any permit protected by a surety device, the City may institute an ac~ion in a court of competent jurisdiction upon such surety device and prosecute the same to judgment and execution. The City shall release the surety device upon determining that: a. All activities, including any required compensatory mi tigation, have been completed in compliance with the terms and conditions of the permit and the requirements of this chapter; and b. Upon the posting by the applicant of a maintenance surety device. Until such written release of the surety device, the principal or surety cannot be released. J. Maintenance Surety Device: The City shall require the holder of a development permit issued pursuant to this chapter to post cash or other security acceptable to the city such as letter of credit or irrevocable set aside letter in an amount and with surety and conditions sufficient to guarantee that structures, improvements, and mitigation required by the permit or by this chapter perform satisfactorily for a minimum of five (5) years after they have been completed. The City shall release the maintenance surety device upon determining that performance standards established for evaluating the effectiveness and success of the structures, improvements, and/or compensatory mitigation have been satisfactorily met for the required period. For mitigation projects, the performance standards shall be those contained in the mitigation plan developed 32 .to. . • . .

The maintenance surety device applicable to a compensation project shall not be released until the Department Administrator determines that performance standards established for evaluating the effect and success of the project have been met. K. Suspens ion or Revocation of Permits: In addition to other penalties provided for elsewhere, the City may suspend or revoke a permit if it finds that the applicant or permittee has not complied with any or all of the conditions or limitations set forth in' the permit, has exceeded the scope of work set forth in the perm~t, or has failed to undertake the project in the manner set forth in the approved application. . 4-32-7 : Densities and Separate Tracts: A. Limited Density Credit Transfer. For development proposals on lands containing wetland buffers, the City' shall allow density credits for buffer areas to provide incentives for the preservation of wetlands and wetland buffers, f lexibili ty in design, and consistent treatment of different types of development proposals. Up to 100 percent of the density credit will be allowed for the buffer areas if: 1. The project meets the applicable waste disposal requirements; 2. The project is compatible with surrounding development; and 3. The project meets all requirements of the site Plan Review ordinance (City of Renton Code of Ordinances 4-31-33). The density credit can only be transferred wi thin the development proposal site. To the extent that application of the formula may result in substandard lot sizes, such lots may be allowed if meeting applicable codes. The City shall not allow credit for density for the portions of the site occupied by wetlands. Development of the transferred density shall be confined to buildable areas of the site, and shall not intrude on other sensitive areas such as landslide, erosion, coal mine areas or their buffers. B. Wetlands Management Tracts. 1. As a condition of any approval issued pursuant to this chapter, for any proposed plat, the property owner shall be required to create a separate wetland management tract or tracts containing the areas determined to be wetland and/or wetland buffer in field investigations performed pursuant to Section 4-32-3. Wetland management tracts are legally created tracts containing wetlands and their 33 ·" ,. , " .
