Subject: NW 2nd Street meeting summary

Ron,
For your Review:
Summary of discussion during meeting on the drainage problem at NW 2nd Street/SE 132nd Ave and Taylor Ave
NW.
Attendees: Ron Straka, Lys Hornsby, Jack Crumley, Mike Dotson, Neil Watts, and (2) King County Staff.
Discussion:
The group discussed the current drainage characteristics of the area surrounding the subject site. A consensus
was reached that some pipe and/or ditch work (including necessary inlets and driveway crossings)would provide
an adequate solution to the current runoff situation. City of Renton staff agreed to pursue collecting information
and drafting a plan for the improvements within NW 2nd Street- City right-of-way. King County staff proposed
that their agency would construct the improvements necessary in SE 132nd Ave - County right-of-way. They also
suggested that their crews could perform (with an appropriate iterlocal agreement for funds to cover their
construction costs) the improvements within the City of Renton.
Action Items:
The City of Renton is preparing a design plan. The plan will be used to determine materials necessary to
construct the project.
If the proposed development of City View is permitted it may provide a solution to the drainage issue. Neil Watts
will require that the development construct the necessary off-site improvements to address the runoff problems.
King County staff will coordinate any construction in this right-of-way with the City of Renton.

Ron,
It seems obvious that a system to collect the surface water on NW 2nd Street is needed. John Thompson
and I visited the site on Friday, February 26. There was a considerable steady flow criss-crossing down
the street; and this was during a (short) period of no rain. Water problems on this street appear to be
caused by both surface and sub-surface drainage from surrounding properties. They is a natural outlet of
overland flow at the pavement edge of NW 2nd near its intersection with Stevens Ave NW, (at the top of
NW 2nd Street/S 132nd St - see map). Because, there is no drainage system for the water to be collected
in, it meanders (criss-cross) down the street until it reaches the intersection of Taylor Ave. NW. I've
prepared a map of the site that shows the source of the drainage water as best determined during our site
visit.
The flow seems to be natural run-off/ground water from the surrounding land. It is channeled by the
existing and re-graded topography. The recent construction may have aggravated the surface flow
somewhat, however it appeared that the majority of the flow is contributed from up-slope land and that it
does not originate in the construction area. The high ground water table and surface saturation from this
years record rainfall will obviously also contribute to increase runoff.
The best method to reduce the sheet flow on the street is to intercept and collect the flow at the source.
Additional inlets, trench and curtain drains may also be necessary.
Whose responsibility is it? As can be seen from the map, the surface and sub-surface flows are
contributed by properties within the City. They outlet onto the County designated roadway prior to
re-entering the City of Renton at the bottom of NW 2nd Street. I'm sure that the county would argue that
it is not responsible for the drainage for this roadway.
Let me know what else I can do to respond to Gregg's request.
Mike.

1 . SW 2nd Street is in a 60 foot right-of-way and has 18 (+/-) feet of paved surface. The first 130 feet
of NW 2nd Street west of Taylor Avenue NW is in the City. The rest of the right-of-way is in the county
and designated S. 132nd Street. All of the properties abutting SW 2nd/S 132nd Street on the north are in
the City. The properties abutting on the south side (including five houses) are in the county. The Jet Vista
Apartments at the bottom of the hill is in the City. The only drainage facility near by is a ditch and some
piping on the west side of Taylor Avenue NW at the bottom of SW 2nd Street. No organized drainage
exists on either SW 2nd Street of SW 2nd Place.
2. The best anyone can tell is that the runoff is caused by two things: first, the area geology has a small
amount of soil on top of rock so there is little percolation; secondly, a late 1970's (?) development went
as far as constructing foundations and then was abandon, it noticeably increased the runoff. The recent
clearing of the same site has added to the drainage problem this winter.
Page 1
3. Over the years the home owners on the south, county, side of the street have complained about surface
water running into their yards during heavy rain events. Renton Maintenance Division and Surface Water
Engineering staff have worked with King County to correct that problem. This included at least one
meeting between Lynn Guttmann and county officials. The county has been willing to do their part, but
they point out that most of the water is coming from private property that is within the City and that the
only place to take the surface water is to Taylor Avenue NW which is also in the City. Renton
maintenance personnel have put berms along the south side of the paved street, in both the City and
County areas, to keep most of the water from going on to private property. We have also installed catch
basins at the bottom of SW 2nd Street and SW 2nd Place to keep water from running out on to Taylor
Avenue NW. For a number years that work was successful in keeping Taylor Avenue NW fairly dry and ice
free. This winter, due to the record rainfall and the increased runoff from the recently cleared
development, our berms and catch basins have occasionally been over stressed and we did have icy
conditions on NW 2nd/S 132nd Street and on Taylor Avenue NW during our one cold snap.
4. Neil Watts, Mike Dotson and maintenance personnel have visited the site and attempted to find
remedial solutions, the first of which is to get the developer to control the runoff from his site. Long term,
the only solution Renton or King County staff believes will work is to build some kind of drainage system
on S 132nd/SW 2nd Street that would convey the surface water to Taylor Avenue NW. Drainage
improvements would also have to be done along Taylor Avenue NW. In Lynn's meeting with County
officials I believe they said that they would allow Renton to do the construction in their right-of-way if we
wanted to do so, but that the benefit to the County was limited and it would be a very low priority project
for them if they did anything at all.
5. SW 2nd Street/Taylor Avenue NW is on our Surface Water Maintenance list to check often. We are out
there in each heavy rain to see that those drainage systems we do have are working.

I've got a tough request here. As you know, a spring exits the hillside here (on West Hill) and flows over
the street, which is partially a City street and partially a County Street. Sometimes the water freezes,
causing dangerous situations, even for our sander trucks. The Mayor has asked that we solve this
problem, working with the County if their jurisdiction is involved. I would like to start this project by
having you provide me what you know about this (i.e. is the does the spring daylight in the City or in the
County, who should be responsible from your perspective, and logistical/design issues that you are already
aware of). When I receive this information, we will discuss. Thanks.

Knowing the Mayor's interest in icy patches on Taylor Av. N.W. I thought I should give you a little
advanced notice.
Last winter Mayor Tanner directed that we do something to catch the water that turned to ice at a number
of sites on Taylor Av. N.W. One of those sites was at N.W. 2nd PI. Last spring we put in a cut-off drain
on N.W. 2nd PI at Taylor Av. N.W. which picked up the water coming down the hill. Last summer a
development started construction at the top of N.W. 2nd PI. Drainage from that development has been a
problem from day one. During heavier rain events water and mud come down and cover both Taylor Av.
N.W. and the parking lot at the Jet Vista Apartments. The natural moisture in the hill causes continuous
weeping which the development has redirected. That weeping increases in lighter rain events and the
water now misses the limited drainage system we have available. The water ends up on Taylor Av. N.W.
Arnie Henninger is the Project Manager for this development and we have been working with her to have
the developer make the necessary corrections. Progress has been slow.
During the freeze this weekend, and this morning, ice has formed on Taylor Av. N.W. at N.W. 2nd PI.
Crews have; (1) attempted to keep the drainage off the street (not much luck as there is no place to take
the water), and (2) sanded the area a number of times. It isn't really of much of a problem, but should
Mayor Tanner mention it you now know what I do.

Subject: NW 2nd Street Drainage
I have gathered up some more information about the project to control drainage here. There are actually
three phases to the project to control the drainage, and only the first phase has been completed:
extending a storm drain line from the drain line in Taylor up NW 2nd to the City Boundary. The County
stopped there because of 1999 funding limits, but intends to extend this line up the hill within the County
in early 2000. There will be a series of asphalt collection gutters surrounding catch basins on both sides
of NW2nd. The County project will terminate lower on the hill than where the spring daylights. In the third
phase, the Reiker project will extend a storm drain line further up the hill to the vicinity of the spring. The
Reiker line will either connect into the line along NW 2nd installed by the County, or will be connected into
the private drain line of the City View Plat, which eventually connects into the storm drain along Taylor
Ave. There is plenty of infrastructure being installed, and it should take care of the drainage problem
when complete.

*MOTION CARRIED.
CORRESPONDENCE A letter was read from Inez Petersen, 3306 Lake Washington Blvd.N. #2,
Citizen Comment: Petersen — Renton, 98056, saying that Renton's action tying future utility rate increases to
Renton Future Utility Rates the Consumer Price Index in response to I-695 is an attempt to circumvent the
Tied to CPI (I-695 Effect) requirement that voters approve all future tax and fee increases. MOVED BY
EDWARDS, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL REFER
THIS CORRESPONDENCE TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.*
Council President Parker emphasized that Renton will not be increasing utility
rates for 2000 and in fact has not done so for some time; however,the City is
obligated to provide basic utility services to its citizens, and so must keep its
public works facilities in good repair and upstanding working order.
Councilman Edwards added that even if it provides for automatic utility rate
increases,the City will still have to go to the voters for funding approval of
large capital needs for the utilities. He felt this would be consistent with I-695.
Councilman Corman said he would support tying future utility rate increases
only to the Consumer Price Index rather than either to the CPI or 5%,
whichever is greater. Explaining that water is a commodity, he said the price of
providing it is sure to rise with inflation, and the City should be able to recoup
those costs from its customers.
Councilman Clawson opposed the proposed ordinance, as he felt that the City
was not being clear in its actions. Emphasizing the importance of the trust and
confidence of the voters, he said he had not yet been convinced that the City
must provide for automatic utility rate increases in the future because of
bonding issues and the chance that the City's bond rates could worsen.

Summary of Action:
NW 2nd Street, west of Taylor Aeing
W, serves several single family ho es that are cated in both the
City and in unincorporated King . Approximately 150 linear feet of the stree in the City and the
remaining portion of the street inCounty. The runoff from the upstream tributary area flows down
o Taylor Ave. NW, because there is no drainage system to collect it. During freezing
NW 2nd Street 4
temperatures, icee//forms on NW 2nd Street and at the intersection of NW 2nd Street and Taylor Ave. NW,
which creates a safety hazard to motorists. The runoff is also damaging the road pavement surfaces and has
resulted in customer complaints.
The solution to the drainage problem requires storm system improvements to be implemented in both the
City and King County. City staff met with King County representatives to discuss potential solutions to the
runoff problem. The City's portion of the storm system improvements are relatively small compared to the
improvements in King County's portion of the street. Since King County is going to construct the
improvement in the County's portion of the street, it would be more efficient to contract directly with King
County to also construct the storm system improvements within the City, at the same time.
00
The estimated total cost of the storm system improvements is $31,607. Sufficient funding is appropriated in
the Surface Water Utility 1999 Capital Improvement Program Budget for the project.
Staff Recommendations:
The Surface Wa r-L�tility recommends approval of the en losed resolution authorizing the Mayor and City
Clerk to execut a`,Reimbursement-Commitment to zagreement with King County. The agreement will
allow for the construction of storm systems improvements in the portion of NW 2nd Street between Taylor
Ave. NW and the City limits to the west.

Sufficient funding is appropriated in the Surface Water ✓
Utility 1999 Capital Improvement Program Budget for the project.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
�5
NW 2nd Stre t, west of Taylor Ave.NW, serves several single family homes that are located in both
the City and in unincorporated King County. Approximately 150 linear feet of the street in the City
and the remaining portion of the street in King County. The street is very steep and has no storm
system improvements. The runoff from the upstream tributary area flows down the street olto
Taylor Ave. NW, because there is no drainage system to collect it. During freezing temperatures,
ice forms on NW 2nd Street and at the intersection of NW 2nd Street and Taylor Ave. NW, which
creates a safety hazard to motorists. The runoff is also damaging the road pavement surfaces and
has resulted in customer complaints. City of Renton maintenance crews devote a disproportionate
amount of time and resources to respond to these conditions.

The solution to the drainage problem requires storm system improvements to be implemented in
both the City and King County. Last February, City staff met with King County representatives to
discuss potential solutions to the runoff problem. It was determined that improvement of the City
portion of the right of way would need to be performed prior to improvement within the County
portion. This is necessary to provide a connection to the downstream system. Further discussions
determined that King County Road Cof
Id perform the construction of the system within ✓
King County's portion of the street riy
The City's portion of the storm system improvements are relatively small compared to the
improvements in King County's portion of the street. Since King County is going to construct the
improvement in the County's portion of the street, it would be more efficient to contract directly
with King County to also construct the storm system improvements within the City, at the same
time.
The City Surface Water Utility agreed to ayd develop the construction plans for the project
(attached). King County has subsequently developed a cost estimate (attached) from our plans for
the cost of labor, material and equipment`onstruct the storm system improvements within the City. ✓
King County has indicated that the work can Ig scheduled and completed before January 1, 2000.
The County requested that we sign the attache eimbursement Commitment to Pay AgreemenTto
authorize the work to be completed by King County. tt
CONCLUSION:
A resolution, approved by Council, authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement with
King Count6s needed. The agreement will allow the City to contract with King County to ✓
construct the City's portion of the storm system improvements in NW 2nd Street. King County will
construct the City portion of storm system improvement at the same time that King County will
construct the storm system improvement in the County's portion of the street.

SUBJECT: POOR CONDITION OF SOUTH 132ND (NW 2ND IN RENTON)
Dear Mr. Sims:
I am writing to you about the poor condition of a road that runs between our two jurisdictions. That
road is South 132nd in the County and NW 2nd in the City of Renton.
This road runs only a short distance. At its western inception South 132nd is on a steep hill and runs
downhill to the east changing into NW 2nd as it enters the City of Renton. This hill is full of springs.
One or more of those springs runs nearly constantly with its water running downhill to the east. At one
time the water was unrestrained and was seriously eroding the road. It was then bermed so that it runs
down the road minimizing the damages. However, when it freezes this road becomes icy and
potentially dangerous.
I would suggest that the City and County work together to correct the drainage situation and provide a
road that is safe for the motoring public and the nearby residents. To that end, I would request that you
have your appropriate staff member contact Gregg Zimmerman, the City's Planning/Building/Public
Works Department Administrator, at 425-430-7311. Those two could coordinate staff efforts to study
and resolve this issue.
I am also aware that there is some development going on adjacent to the road, which may be
contributing to the problem. It is possible that this third party may also be willing to contribute to the
solution.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

The Honorable Jesse Tanner, Mayor
City of Renton
1055 South Grady Way
Renton, WA 98055
Dear Mayor Tanner:
Thank you for your letter of February 25, 1999, expressing your concerns about troublesome
road conditions on South 132°d Street (NW 2"d in the City of Renton) that are caused by drainage
problems that often lead to icy conditions during cold weather.
Staff of the Department of Transportation's Road Services Division are aware of the drainage
problems at this location, and they have begun working to find a solution. I have been advised
that Road Services Division staff met with City of Renton staff on March 9, 1999, to discuss this
matter. I am hopeful that a mutually agreeable solution will soon be determined.
I have asked Harold Taniguchi, Manager of the Road Services Division, to follow up on this
matter and report back to you about the finalized plans to resolve the drainage problem. In the
meantime, if you have any questions, I encourage you to contact Mr. Taniguchi directly,
at (206) 296-6590.
If I can provide additional information or assistance with this or any other matter, please do not
hesitate to let me know.
