RECITALS OF FACT 1. In 1987, Centron Equities Corporation, on behalf of Canada America Associates, L.P., a «7ashington limited partnership, applied to the City of Renton for site plan approval for a multi-family development known as "Lexington Ridge" consisting of 360 units on approximately 13.4 acres located in the City of Renton. 2. A draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Lexington Ridge project was published in November, 1988. The final Environmental Impact Statement for the Lexington Ridge project was published in January, 1989. On June 15, 1989, the Environmental Review Committee of the City of Renton issued its final decision imposing mitigation conditions on the Lexington Ridge project pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act ("SEPA"), RCW 43.21 C. 3. On October 13, 1989, the Lexington Ridge site plan was approved by the City of Renton hearing examiner in file number SA-082-87. The hearing examiner's decision approving the site plan required the applicant to comply with the conditions imposed by the Environmental Review Committee. 4. On May 31, 1990, a petition entitled In Re: Canada-America Associates, L.P. was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Washington in Seattle and was assigned case number 90-03783. Lex Ridge Settlement Agreement page 1 of 8 914311 14895-2 BIJ03 .Doc �/08/9� EXHIBIT 1 5. On January 4, 1991, Grahame R. Ross (hereinafter"the Trustee") was appointed as Chapter 11 Trustee in case number 90-03783 and was given authority to administer the property of the bankruptcy estate including the Lexington Ridge property. 6. Grahame Ross as Trustee applied to the City of Renton for a building permit on September 17, 1991. This application was assigned building permit application plan review number 8810. 7. One of the conditions imposed by the Environmental Review Committee required the applicant to obtain approval by the City's Public Works Department of plans for a storm drainage detention system, in advance of the issuance of any building permits for the Lexington Ridge project. 8. The Trustee was unable to obtain approval by the City's Public Works Department of plans for a storm drainage detention system for the Lexington Ridge project. In September, 1992, the City advised the Trustee that the Trustee's building permit application had expired pursuant to section 304(d) of the Uniform Building Code, 1988 edition. 9. On September 16, 1992, the Trustee appealed to the Renton hearing examiner the City of Renton's decision to terminate the Trustee's building permit application. The appeal was assigned file number AAD-91-151. On November 10, 1992, a hearing was held before the Renton hearing examiner to consider the Trustee's appeal. On December 9, 1992, the Renton hearing examiner issued his decision upholding the decision not to approve the Trustee's conceptual design of the storm drainage system and to terminate the Trustee's building permit application number 8810. On December 23, 1992, the Trustee filed a Petition for �V'rit of Review and Complaint for Damages under Lex Ridge Settlement Agreement page 2 of 8 #14,1 1 14995-2 [3110i1.DOC 5/08!95 King County Superior Court cause number 92-2-29569-5. On that date an Order was issued directing a writ of review. 10. On January 21, 1993, the Trustee filed an application for, and notice of, removal of the Superior Court action to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Washington pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1452. 11. On or about May 12, 1994, the Trustee conveyed by Quit Claim Deed dated -May 10, 1994, the Lexington Ridge property to Lexington Ridge Realty, Inc. under King County recording number 9405122166. On that same date, the Trustee assigned all of the interest of Canada-America Associates, L.P. in and to all permits, approvals and all other rights or claims including all causes of action against the City of Renton to Lexington Ridge Realty, Inc. 12. On August 31, 1994, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court entered an Order dismissing adversary proceeding number A92-10472 against the City of Renton and named individual defendants. On that same date, a stipulated order was entered remanding to King County Superior Court the case which was originally filed under cause number 92-2-29569-2 and substituting Lexington Ridge Realty, Inc. in place of the Trustee as the plaintiff in that action. 13. On September 28, 1994 the King County Superior Court entered an order in cause number 92-2-29569-5 substituting Lexington Ridge Realty, Inc. in place of the plaintiff in that action and directing that all further proceedings in that case be continued by and in the name of Lexington Ridge Realty, Inc. Lex Ridge Settlement Agl-ee»7ei7t page 3 of 8 9143,11 14895-2 B I J0,L.DOC 5/08/95 14. On October 12, 1994 an order amending the case schedule in King County cause number 92-2-29569-5 was entered providing, among other things, for a review hearing or trial on May 10, 1995. 15. It was agreed between representatives of Lexington Ridge Realty, Inc. and the City of Renton that all of the plaintiff s claims against the City of Renton could be dismissed if an agreement could be reached on design criteria for the storm drainage system on the Lexington Ridge site a process for timely consideration of a new site plan and an agreement regarding the maximum alloxvable units on the site. It was therefore agreed that the deadlines contained in the case schedule order for filing of briefs would be adjusted by mutual agreement between the parties although the actual trial date would not be stricken. 16. On March 17, 1995 a stipulation and order was entered dismissing all of the plaintiffs claims against all of the individual defendants in King County cause number 92-2-29569-5. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and conditions herein contained, the parties agree as follows: 1. Lexington Ridge Realty, Inc. (or its successors or assignee to the real property described in Exhibit A to this Agreement) agrees to submit within 180 days from the date of this agreement a new site plan for development of the Lexington Ridge property to the City of Renton for approval in accordance with the process agreed upon in Paragraph 3 of this Agreement. Lex Ridge Settlement Agreement page 4 of 8 +"14i 1 1 14595-2 B IJ03!.DOC 5/08/95 2. The City of Renton agrees that the standards set forth in this paragraph shall apply to the drainage system for the Lexington Ridge site, and agrees to approve, pursuant to Section 4-22-16B of the Renton Municipal Code, a modification of the Storm and Surface Water Drainage Code standards for the Lexington Ridge site, as follows: (a) The performance goal for the Lexington Ridge drainage system will be to minimize or reduce the rate of surface water flowing into the Bronson Way conveyance system west and south(immediately downstream) of the point of connection of the Lexington Ridge System. (b) Water quality wet vaults shall be incorporated into the design of the detention vaults. The wet vault volume shall be in addition to the active storage volume of the detention vaults. (c) The existing 8-inch diameter storm drain in Bronson Way at the intersection of N.E. 3rd will be replaced. The determination of the final pipe size will be based on methods described in Section 4.3.4 of the 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual ("KCSWDM"). (d) The post development outflows from the Lexington Ridge site for the 2-year through 100-year design events will not exceed the values given in the table below: Lex Ridge Settlement Agreement page 5 of 8 9 143 11 14895-2 131 J03!.DOC 5/08/95 Return Interval Increment* (CFS) 2 year 0.44 10 year 0.44 25 year 0.50 100 year 0.50 * Increment above "undeveloped" peak flow rate. "Undeveloped" conditions mean as of the date of this Agreement. This table is based on allowing increases for the developed peak rate of runoff for the site to not exceed 0.5 cfs above the undeveloped peak rates of runoff for the 2-year through the 100-year design storms. By only allowing a negligible increase in developed peak rates of runoff from the site for the 2-year through the 100-year design storms and by performing the downstream improvements as specified in this Agreement, the completed improvements will provide the equivalent surface water management controls as those required by the KCSWDM. (e) No volume safety factor will be added to detention volumes since the system is being designed for detention of a 100-year storm. (f) No biofiltration will be required. Equivalent water quality controls are being provided by the wet vaults referenced in section(b). 3. The City of Renton further agrees to process any new site plan for the Lexington Ridge site in a reasonably timely manner and in substantial conformance with the time table attached to this agreement as Exhibit B. 4. The City of Renton represents that the applicable zoning designation for the Lexington Ridge site is Multi-Family Infill District, with a maximum allowable dwelling Lex Ridge Settlement Agreement page 6 of 8 ,14311 14895-2 BIJOI DOC 5/08!95 MHY-09-1995 17:15 FROM S.?S CLAR: ET PL.

CITY OF RENTON PLANNINGBUILDING/PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM DATE: April 14, 1995 APR 1 TO: David Dean U�pt. FROM: �=n, it Bering Gregg Zimmerman (y ;7 SUBJECT: Proposed Drainage System Design Criteria For Lexington Ridge Site I have carefully reviewed the attached proposal regarding the proposed drainage system design criteria for the Lexington Ridge site. As Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator I would support a storm water code modification based upon the attached criteria with the following revisions. Section 4-22-16B of the Storm and Surface Water Drainage Code grants authority to the Administrator to grant such a modification. A) A condition of granting such a modification is that the pending lawsuit against the City over this project be dropped. B) Item 2 on the attached criteria be deleted and replaced with the following provision: "Water quality wet vaults shall be incorporated into the design of the detention vaults. The volume of the wet vaults shall not be included in the active storage volume of the detention vaults." C) Item 3 on the attached criteria be deleted and replaced with the following provision. "The existing 8-inch diameter storm drain in Bronson Way at the intersection of N.E. 3rd will be replaced. The determination of the final pipe size will be based on methods described in Section 4.3.4 of the 1990 KCSWCM." D) Item 4 on the attached criteria be modified by deleting the following wording from the first sentence: "In the event the Lexington system is designed to treat on-site flows only (i.e. no off-site flows from Bronson Way will be diverted for treatment into the Lexington system)" The added items in B) and C) are not new, and actually repeat language from a letter from Sally Clark, dated February 11, 1993 (attached). cc: Ron Straka,Jim Hanson,Neil Watts MAR 30 '95 11:20AM D0 ENGINEERS, INC P.2/2 PR POSED DRAINAGE SYSTEM DESIGN LEXINGTON - a.,..' DESIGN�• CRITERIA FOR RIDGE SITE 1_ The parties agree the performance goal for the Lexington Ridge drainage system will be to ace water flowing into the Bronson Way conveyance minimize or reduce the rate of surf system west and south (immediately downstream) of the point of connection of the Lexington system. 2. This goal can be achieved by designing a system on the Lexington site which limits flows accumulated in the Bronson Way system from off-site lands east (upstream) of Lexington flows experienced combined with the flows from the Lexington site to equal or less than those currently by the Bronson conveyance system immediately downstream of Lexington. 3. In the event the Lexington system is designed to accept and treat water from the Bronson Way system in addition to its own, the criteria will be that post-development flows calculated by the Santa Barbara Urban Hydrograph (SB 1990 King County Surface Water Management Csthod as described in Chapter 3 of the than the flows in the Bronson system existing � WM) Manual will be equal to or less through 100-year return events. 8 Prior to Lexington's development for the 2-year 4. In the event the Lexington system is designed to treat on-site flows only (i.e. no off-site flow from Bronson Way will be diverted for treatment into the Lexington System), the s development outflows from the Lexington ) post lsite for the 2-year through 100-year design events will not exceed the values given in the table below: Return SBUH Calculated Interval Undeveloped Flow Increment SBUH Calculated CFS (CFS) Post Developed Flow 2 ear 0.16 CFS 10 ear 0.44 0.60 U. 0.44 25 ear 0.63 0.85 100 ear 0.50 1.13 0.89 0.50 1.39 This table is based on increases not exceeding 0.5 cfs for any event through the 100- ear The KCSWM manual categorically exempts projects development, do not from detention which, after increase offsite flows more than 0.5 cfs for Therefore, adhering to this criteria will produce a site whose outflow 100-year events. characteristics would otherwise classify it as exempt_ 5- No volume safety factor will be added to detention volumes.

Box 2 S. 2ndStreet Renton, WA 98057 NS4N �( pePt, Re: Lexington Ridge ON,,neeC'OV' Dear Larry: Thank you for arranging the meeting on January 14 , 1993 to discuss a possible settlement and some modifications to the Lexington Ridge project. As we discussed at that meeting, before we can finalize any design alternatives, we need to come to an agreement with the City on the storm drainage design parameters and other conditions applicable to the project. As you know, since our meeting, Gregg Zimmerman and Bruce Dodds have had several discussions about the storm drainage issue, and have reached a consensus regarding the design of the system for this site. The purpose of this letter is to summarize our understanding of the engineers' agreement, and to propose necessary modifications to the applicable conditions of the site plan approval. Storm Drainage The conditions of site plan approval relating to storm drainage are found in the ERC Report dated April 15, 1989 , as modified on May 16, 1989, and June 15, 1989. The conditions are set forth in paragraphs C. 2 . (a) and (e) on page 7 of the ERC Report. We propose that Condition C, 2 , (a) be amended as follows to delete the general reference to the Garth Cray memo and add the specific language from the Garth Cray memo that relates to biofiltration: C. 2 . (a) . That the applicant provide a tightline storm drainage system;--f,See-&f -Ga� i e�ap`.--Ptble`- ar`Its 9epa� xie�r .-} (due to concerns of the slope of the property and project location biofiltration will not be required) ; Mr. Lawrence J.

Please also confirm that any fee ordinance enacted subsequent to filing of the original building permit application will not apply to the modified project. We appreciate the City's willingness to work with us to achieve a good result for all parties.

By only allowing a negligible increase in developed peak rates of runoff from the site for the 2-year through the 100-year design storms and by performing the downstream improvements as specified in this agreement, the completed improvements will provide the equivalent surface water management controls as those required by the City of Renton adopted 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual. The alternative system can be approved by the City of Renton by the granting of a Code Modification Alteration request."

LI1V111LLR.7l 11l�, HL7/z PROPOSED DRAINAGE SYSTEM DESIGN CRITERIA FOR LEXINGTON RIDGE SITE 1. The parties agree the performance goal for the Lexington Ridge drainage system will be to minimize or reduce the rate of surface water flowing into the Bronson Way conveyance system west and south (immediately downstream) of the point of connection of the Lexington system. 2. This goal can be achieved by designing a system on the Lexington site which limits flows accumulated in the Bronson Way system from off site lands east (upstream) of Lexington combined with the flows from the Lexington site to equal or less than those flows experienced currently by the Bronson conveyance system immediately downstream of Lexington. 3. In the event the Lexington system is designed to accept and treat water from the Bronson Way-sys tern in addition to its own, the criteria will be that post-development flows calculated by the San arbara Urban Hydrograph (SBUH) method as described in Chapter 3 of the 1990 King County Surface Water Management (KCSWM) Manual will be equal to or less than the flows in the Bronson system existing prior to Lexington's development for the 2-year through 100-year return events. 4. In the event the Lexington system is designed to treat on-site flows only (i.e. no off-site flows from Bronson Way will be diverted for treatment into the Lexington System), the post development outflows from the Lexington site for the 2-year through 100-year design events will not exceed the values given in the table below: Return SBUH Calculated Increment SBUH Calculated Interval Undeveloped Flow (CFS) Post Developed Flow CFS CFS 2 year 0.16 0.44 0.60 10 ear 0.41 0.44 0.85 25 year 0.63 0.50 1.13 100 year 0.89 0.50 1.39 This table is based on increases not exceeding 0.5 cfs for any event through the 100-year. The KCSWM manual categorically exempts projects from detention which, after development, do not increase offsite flows more than 0.5 cfs for 100-year events. Therefore, adhering to this criteria will produce a site whose outflow characteristics would otherwise classify it as exempt. 5. No volume safety factor will be added to detention volumes. KCSWM does not require a volume safety factor where designs contemplate 100-year events. 6. No biofiltration will be required. 8707SOSD.DOC;03/2V95; Page:1 4 0 Law Offices is H I L L I S C L A R K M A R T I N & P E T E R S O N • A Professional Service Corporation 500 Galland Building,1221 Second Avenue Seattle,Washington 98101-2925 (206)623-1745 Facsimile(206)623-7789 August 11, 1993 �� -* 12 1993 F,U Mr. Lawrence J.

Mack Engineering Dept Hillis Clark Martin & Peterson 500 Galland Building 1221 Second Avenue Seattle, Washington 98101-2925 Re: Lexington Ridge Proiect Dear Ms. Mack: The City of Renton has been reviewing information from Bruce Dodds about a drainage system for the Lexington Ridge Project. We have been asked to give a preliminary indication on whether or not Mr. Dodds' drainage system will be approved by the City of Renton. Preliminarily, the City of Renton is willing to state that it will most likely approve a code modification or alteration request and approve the drainage system. However, you should be aware that the city's approval is subject to a number of contingencies including Mr. Dodds providing the necessary engineering details, and resolution of the other issues surrounding this case including submittals of the modified site plan. I would anticipate that we would sign a global agreement of some sort and submit that agreement to the city council. In prior conversations with Sally Clarke I indicated that my preference was to take the entire matter to the city council. Since there is on-going litigation and we are using that litigation as a means of prolonging site plan approval and the validity of building permits, I believe it necessary to obtain the city council's approval to settle the lawsuit. At that time, any major modifications to the site plan could also be approved by the cit}, council (providing that staff has also approved). There was some early comment that the density of the project would be dropped more than 10% except that there was concern that a major modification to the site plan had to be approved, and the developer wanted to avoid that step. Since we will already be in front of the city council, I don't see this as a major problem. I hope that this preliminary indication of the city's intentions is sufficient for you to begin work to provide the city with the necessary details of your proposal. i ly yours, C; �Lawrence J.

BACKGROUND: The Lexington Ridge development project cannot meet the adopted City of Renton Surface Water Management regulations without significant site and economic impacts. The applicant feels that the strict requirements are preventing the development of the property. The applicant's engineer has proposed to submit a Code Modification/Alteration request. The request would allow the site to discharge post-developed runoff (with detention) from the site at a slightly higher rate than the pre-developed runoff rate which is required by the City Code. The post-developed runoff rates after detention would not be greater than 0.50 cfs above the existing conditions (pre-developed) runoff. The City-adopted King County Surface Water Design Manual exempts proposed projects from having to provide detention if the proposed project site post-developed peak runoff rate (without detention) for the 100-year, 24-hour duration design storm event is calculated to be less than 0.50 cfs more than the pre-developed peak runoff rate for the proposed project sited existing runoff conditions. This is considered to be a negligible peak runoff rate increase. The Code Modification Request must satisfy the following requirements: f - 7 Lynn Guttmann i Lexington Ridge Surfacelater Management Page 2 1 . The applicant's engineer must submit a formal code modification request for our review and consideration which satisfies the code modification requirements and thresholds contained in Ordinance No. 4342. In addition the code modification request must: A. Demonstrate that compliance with the code is impracticable due to cost, size, site impacts and geology. The code modification request must demonstrate the unreasonableness of controlling the post-developed 2-year, 24-hour design storm peak runoff rate to the pre-developed 2-year, 24-hour design storm peak runoff rate of 0.16 cfs. The code modification request must compare the size, cost and site impacts of the facility required by the code with the facility proposed as part of the code modification request. B. The applicant's engineer must certify that in the engineer's best professional judgment the code modification will not significantly impact the downstream system and associated properties. C. If the code modification request is approved, it will only be valid for the current approved site plan (SA-082-87), or any modifications of the site plan approved by the City under number SA-082-87. D. As a condition of the code modification request approval, the applicant must improve the downstream storm system located in Bronson Way such that it has adequate capacity to convey runoff from tributary drainage area including the project site. This will involve upsizing 6" and 8" diameter pipe to a larger size (probably 12") within a limited area of Bronson Way and NE 3rd Street. JUSTIFICATION FOR APPROVING A CODE MODIFICATION REQUEST: If we accept the premise that the strict adherence to the Surface Water Code for this particular project is impracticable, then the justification for approving the code modification request is: 1 . It will allow the site to be developed. 2. It may prevent a major lawsuit. 3. The WSDOT is currently performing downstream improvements which will be increasing available capacity in the downstream system. This increase in available capacity has not been quantified. 4. If the applicant completes the downstream improvements in Bronson Way, a small part of the known downstream capacity problem will be resolved. However, the major capacity limitation in the trunk line will not be improved. JUSTIFICATION FOR NOT APPROVING A CODE MODIFICATION REQUEST: 1 . The approval of the code modification could set a bad precedent. If we grant it for this project then why not for other projects? 2. Project will not comply with City Code. ` Lexington Ridge Surface4ater Management Page 3 3. Potential downstream impacts may still occur even with the proposed Bronson Way downstream improvements and the ongoing WSDOT improvements. 4. The City could appear to be acting in an arbitrary and capricious manner, in that we approved this code modification request, but rejected the previous one back in August, 1992. We have some real concern that such an approval might be used against us in pending court action. 5. Potential increase in code modification requests for other projects which will require addition staff time. RECOMMENDATION: Staff (reluctantly) recommends that we consider a code modification request for the Lexington Ridge project provided that the applicant complies with the above referenced code modification request requirements. This is a borderline call, and we could certainly be convinced to go the other way. H:\division\utilities\storm\lexridg.doc:ad CC: Neil Watts CITY OF RENTON MEMORANDUM DATE: February 15, 1993 TO: Larry Warren Lynn Guttmann Jim Hanson Ron Straka FROM: Gregg Zimmerman C- SUBJECT: Lexington Ridge -Letter dated February 11, 1993, from Hillis Clark Martin & Peterson I have received a copy of the attached letter and read through it. I have the following specific comments: 1. Page 1, second paragraph, the statement "Gregg Zimmerman and Bruce Dodds have had several discussions about the storm drainage issue, and have reached a consensus regarding the design of the system for this site" is over-stated. Mr. Dodds proposed an option which Ron Straka and I felt has promise, but we did not reach "consensus" on design approach. We will need to review a revised drainage report which verifies peak runoff rates in the range predicted by Mr. Dodds before we can reach any sort of consensus on design approach. 2. Page 2., C.2.(e)., second to last sentence on page 2 should be deleted and replaced with the sentences "Water quality wet vault(s) shall be incorporated into the design of the detention vault(s). The volume of the wet vault(s) shall not be included in the active storage volume of the detention vault(s)." 3. Page 3, Mitigation Fees. This issue will have to be further explored by all of us (Planning/Building/Public Works Department and City Attorney). I remain of the conviction that we should not agree to anything until the plaintiff removes the names of Lynn Guttmann and Jim Hanson from their various actions against the City. Unless directed otherwise by my superiors, I am not inclined to expend any more staff time on parties operating in bad faith.

As we discussed at that meeting, before we can finalize any design alternatives, we need to come to an agreement with the City on the storm drainage design parameters and other conditions applicable to the project. As you know, since our meeting, Gregg Zimmerman and Bruce Dodds have had several discussions about the storm drainage issue, and have reached a consensus regarding the design of the system for this site. The purpose of this letter is to summarize our understanding of the engineers' agreement, and to propose necessary modifications to the applicable conditions of the site plan approval. Storm Drainage The conditions of site plan approval relating to storm drainage are found in the ERC Report dated April 15, 1989, as modified on May 16, 1989, and June 15, 1989. The conditions are set forth in paragraphs C.2. (a) and (e) on page 7 of the EEC Report. We propose that Condition C.2 . (a) be amended as follows to delete the general reference to the Garth Cray memo and add the specific language from the Garth Cray memo that relates to biofiltration: C.2. (a) . That the applicant provide a tightline storm drainage system;-f3ee-Frf�rsj��3 Memo dram--Garb C�ra�,-Pt�b� -f�arltg 9epare�r �} (due to concerns of the slope of the property and project location biofiltration will not be required) ; Mr. Lawrence J.

Puget Power Right-of-Way If the number of dwelling units is reduced sufficiently to eliminate the need to provide additional parking on the Puget Power right-of-way, we also ask that Hearing Examiner Condition No. 5 be deleted. Mitigation Fees Please confirm that the modified project will be subject to the mitigation fees (e.g. , SUCC fees, TBZ fees) applicable to the original site plan approval and building permit application, as modified by any change in the number or type of units and/or, in the case of TBZ fees, actual per-trip fees currently imposed by the City (not to exceed $288.00 per trip) . ERC Condition No. C. 6. (c) (3) should be amended to reflect any adjustment in the TBZ mitigation fee. Please also confirm that any fee ordinance enacted subsequent to filing of the original building permit application will not apply to the modified project. We appreciate the City's willingness to work with us to achieve a good result for all parties. We hope that we can come to an agreement on the design parameters and go forward with the development of this site. Thank you for your help. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

MACK Lexington Ridge Appeal File No.: AAD-92-151 LOCATION: 500 Galland Building, 1221 Second Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101-2925 SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Appeal of Administrative Determination not to approve the conceptual design of the storm drainage system, and the determination of the expiration of the applicant's building permit. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the applicant's written request for a hearing and examining available information, the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: MINUTES The hearing was opened on November 10, 1992, at 10:10 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the Renton Municipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. (These minutes are not a verbatim transcription, but rather, a summary of the testimony.)

Ross, the Trustee in Bankruptcy, SARAH E. MACK, Hillis Clark Martin & Peterson, 500 Galland Building, 1221 Second Avenue, Seattle, WA, 98101-2925, noted that the original applicant, Centron, Inc., had declared bankruptcy and Hillis Clark was assisting the Trustee in attempting to preserve the value of the asset, the Lexington Ridge property, SEPA, site plan approval, and building permit application to enable a sale of the assets and payment of the outstanding debts of the estate. Overtures to the City prior to this hearing to stipulate to certain facts were rebuffed. The project was approved by the Examiner in October of 1989, and the storm drainage system was noted as being at issue in this appeal. She referred to the June 15, 1989, Garth Cray memorandum, stating that according to staff it, rather than the King County Storm Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) should be what applied to the design of the storm drainage system on this site. The Trustee had applied for a building permit September 17, 1991, had been trying since that time to obtain a permit, and had spent a year trying to resolve the issue of a storm drainage system. Complicating matters was significant new information about the limited downstream capacity in the City storm drainage system, and the character of the soil on the site. This information was not available to the City or the applicant at the time the ERC condition was imposed, when the Garth Cray memorandum was drafted, nor when the Examiner granted site plan approval. The criteria in the Garth Cray memo were not capable of being complied with, without an expensive reconstruction of the City's downstream drainage system, and City staff acknowledged this criteria as being unreasonable. Up until August 7, 1992, the Trustee had offered four conceptual storm drainage proposals to staff. The project engineer had stated that the latest proposal met or exceeded the Garth Cray memo as modified by staffs agreement that the memo required some modification in order to be capable of being satisfied. The project engineer was of the opinion that the proposal met the criteria in the 1990 KCSWDM which did not apply to this project. The Examiner said that if the KCSWDM did not apply, maybe it should not be mentioned. Ms. Mack noted that the reference appeared in several places in documents in the file. The Trustee had waited five weeks for Mr. Hanson's September 10, 1992, response letter to Mr. Dodds which said the proposal was not approved, and that the building permit application would expire on September 17, 1992, with no extensions granted. She said that the KCSWDM was used to review this proposal, and that the September loth letter was the first notice that the City was going to terminate the building permit application. Sarah E. Mack • AAD-92-151 December 9, 1992 Page 3 City Attorney, LAWRENCE J. WARREN, moved that no testimony be taken from City staff or anyone else on the uniform building code section which was set forth in his hearing brief. There was some evidence that the City had not enforced that section entirely in the past and the only argument that could be made was an estoppel argument, which generally did not work against a government and would require the City to commit an ultra vires act which it could not be compelled to do. He moved to bar any testimony other than oral argument by counsel about how the City had handled the building code. Ms. Mack objected, noting that the City's decision to terminate the building permit application was arbitrary and capricious compared to its treatment of other permits under similar circumstances. She denied making an estoppel argument, but wanted to establish evidence that the City had acted inconsistently. The Examiner asked whether she was trying to establish that two wrongs would make a right, and if the City did act wrongly or negligently, should that be used as justification to continue. Ms. Mack said she was not arguing that the building code should be ignored, but rather that the City acted correctly in the past by allowing more than 360 days if the applicant was diligently working on obtaining a building permit. Mr. Warren stated that he couldn't see how they could get around claiming an estoppel argument or that the City was making an interpretation of the code, which the City did not have authority to do. It was a legislative body decision and City administration could not legitimately have different standards. Ms. Mack said that if the City was insisting that its interpretation of storm water detention was entitled to great weight, then the appellant was entitled to place in evidence information about what the City had done in respect to other permit applications. Mr. Warren said that the City was not granting interpretation of 304(d), which contained a section allowing a building official to follow a procedure to extend another 180 days. The section of 304(d) which was being relied upon said no application shall be extended more than once, a 360 day maximum, and there was no authority to go beyond that. In answer to the Examiner's question whether both sides stipulated that 360 days had passed on September 17, 1992, Mr. Warren agreed, as did Ms. Mack. The Examiner said he did not see any leeway in the first or second 180 days. Ms. Mack stated that the two 180-day time periods applied to action by the applicant and the City didn't get to count the time staff spent reviewing plans or delaying, which was why the time period couldn't be applied to a project with vested rights. She then called upon JAN CONKLIN, Development Services Representative, who confirmed that the information shown on the Building Permit Applicant Log was a correct copy of departmental records. GRAHAME ROSS, 800 Bellevue Way, Suite 400, Bellevue, WA 98004, the court-appointed Trustee in Bankruptcy for Canada America Associates, Limited, stated that he had attempted to negotiate a sale of the property in the spring of 1992. A contractor was to perform excavation of the site and transport the material to the Seattle Times project, and was willing to grade the site at no charge to the estate, a savings of approximately $500,000. The prospect wanted to purchase a development-ready site. Mr. Ross expected to be able to pay the outstanding debts of the bankruptcy out of the proceeds of this sale, intended to close at summer's end. He directed the submittal of a building permit application in September, 1991. He hoped to obtain the building permit in June of 1992, and at a meeting on May 14, 1992, he and Sally Clarke were assured by Ron Nelson, Jim Hanson, and Larry Warren, that the City would work with him to accomplish getting the building permit under the time frame, and that although there must be solutions to the technical issues so that City could be assured that the project could be built, it would not be necessary to have all the drawings and mylars corrected prior to issuance of the building permit. Once these technical issues were resolved between project engineers and City staff, the building permit could be issued if a letter agreement was entered into with the City regarding the final details that had to be completed and the time frame for completion. The geotechnical engineers said in June that the soils on the site would not support the infiltration-type storm water system designed. Once it became apparent that the building permit could not be obtained by June, the grading contractor went elsewhere, and the potential purchaser was no longer interested. Mr. Ross said he never intended to allow the site to be graded without a developer ready to develop the Sarah E. Mack • AAD-92-151 December 9, 1992 Page 4 site, as that could create potential for erosion and property damage, inconsistent with his Trustee responsibilities. He noted that in excess of $200,000 had been spent in pursuit of this permit. Mr. Warren said that Mr. Ross had indicated that he did not intend to have the site graded unless a purchaser stood ready to develop the site and asked what control Mr. Ross would have had over the grading contractor or the developer of the later project, to which Mr. Ross replied that he had a contract with the contractor. Mr. Warren stated that there was a potential for the site to remain open for a length of time, as Mr. Ross would have no control over the developer, to which Mr. Ross replied, if the contract was closed, none, but if there was an open contract, there would be specific performance. Mr. Warren asked whether at any time he had provided language to the City to indicate that there was any later control that could be exercised over the later developer. Mr. Ross replied that other than a suggested Purchase and Sale Agreement, no. Mr. Warren asked how long the proposal was before the City to use a system to reintroduce the drainage water into the soil. Mr. Ross did not recall. Mr. Warren asked whether he recalled that there was a proposal before the City to use that system and which was rejected because of inadequate testing, and further testing showed the subsoils were inadequate to use that system. Did Mr. Ross understand that all the technical issues needed to be resolved prior to obtaining the building permit. Mr. Ross said that based on the May 14th meeting, not all the technical issues, but the technical engineers knew what had to be resolved, and he recognized that the drainage issue would have to be resolved. Ms. Mack asked whether any seller of real property would have control over the actions of a purchaser who bought with the intention of developing. Mr. Ross answered, none. JAMES OLSEN, Dodds Engineers, 4205 148th AVE NE, Bellevue, WA 98007, testified to the chronology of events in the building application process for Lexington Ridge, (Exhibit #11). Mr. Warren asked if Mr. Olsen was aware that in June of 1992 the City had submitted a letter to Dodds or to the Trustee setting out the technical problems that the City had with the plans and specs. Mr. Olsen replied yes, the City did send back a letter and that corrections were never made on the Mylar in whole but, at a meeting with Tom Kress and Gregg Zimmerman, were agreed to line by line to resolve how each comment would be addressed. The exceptions were verifying the infiltration rate and storm water detention, which were not resolved. Mr. Warren asked whether other agreements were likely to be resolved. Mr. Olsen said the meeting date was 5-18-92 and most of the comments were more cosmetic than technical. Mr. Warren stated that there was a letter that came out June 10, 1992, from the City that had over a 100 comments concerning the plans, yet he had stated that all the problems were resolved in May. Mr. Olsen agreed that was correct, when the plans come back from the City there was a handwritten set from the reviewer and then the City followed up in format with the official record, and each comment was summarized but there were no draft drawings with this letter. The conceptual drawings were submitted later. After the June loth letter from Mr. Burnell, comments were received from staff which required further work and raised new technical issues. The last unresolved issue was to verify infiltration rates. Golder Associates had performed that task and determined that soils did not perform in the manner previously indicated. SALLY CLARKE, Hillis Clark Martin & Peterson, 500 Galland Building, 1221 Second Avenue, Seattle, WA, 98101-2925, noted that she was the court-appointed Special Land Use Counsel to the Trustee, and beginning February, 1992, at the instruction of the Trustee, she had contacted Ron Nelson to confirm what permits, conditions, and fees would be necessary before work began on the site. She then read her affidavit into the minutes, (Exhibit #13.) The Examiner asked if his understanding was correct that the infiltration system was considered to be acceptable on June 10, 1992, and not acceptable on June 14th. Ms. Clarke said apparently there were calls from the field indicating that the infiltration tests were successful, followed a few days later by a written report that it was not successful. Mr. Warren objected to double hearsay at Ms. Clarke's mention of her conversation with City of Bothell staff regarding the International Conference Of Building Officials (ICBO). Ms. Mack stated that this was information that was uniquely available to City staff as members of ICBO, and the only way to get Sarah E. Mack • AAD-92-151 December 9, 1992 Page 5 the information in was to offer it through Ms. Clarke's testimony. The Examiner stated that he would decide whether he would consider it after he heard it. Ms. Clarke continued her testimony. Mr. Warren objected to the characterization that this was an unpopular project and asked about the SUCC fee, noting that the Trustee had not wanted to pay the fee up front as there was some indication the Trustee would have to do. Ms. Clarke had contacted the City and that issue was worked out. He referred to a memo from Zoning Administrator Don Erickson, and asked whether the City had at any time adopted Mr. Erickson's position that this was a speculative fill and grade. Ms. Clarke said the City had expressed strong concerns about the grading on site and also mentioned the September loth letter wherein the City wanted assurance that the development would be completed in a timely manner. When she responded to the letter and submitted all corrections, she commented that since the City did not tell them what they wanted, they were unable to give the assurance. Mr. Warren stated that the City never took the position that the application for the building permit would be rejected because this was a speculative fill and grade, and then asked the location of the local office of ICBO. Ms. Clarke stated that the City had not taken that stance officially but they got that impression. She said the office of ICBO was in Bellevue, but she had not been able to get a direct answer from the ICBO. She did speak to another City Attorney and other building officials in other cities about the use of the ICBO, which cities routinely ask for advice. Ms. Mack asked JIM HANSON, Development Services Director, about the August 16th, 17th and 18th petition which was signed by 9 people regarding excavating the Lexington Ridge property prior to development. Mr. Warren objected that it was not relevant and that they were making the assumption that the fact that this was in the file somehow colored the issue. The Examiner excluded the petition from evidence, but admitted the entire staff file. In reply to Mr. Warren's question about how the Building Permit Application Log copies had been generated, Mr. Hanson stated that the listing was requested by Ms. Mack after the building permit application for Lexington Ridge had expired. Mr. Warren pointed out several examples which, because of duplication, error, or status should not be on the list, noting that left 31 instances where a building permit was issued after the expiration date had passed. Mr. Hanson said that amounted to about 1% of the total building permits handled over the 10 year time period. No record was maintained of cancelled building permits as it was policy to destroy them. Ms. Mack asked what percentage of complex applications was represented on the list, excluding the permits for residential applications, to which Mr. Hanson replied that he did not know. Ms. Mack asked whether the list of 8 permits that she had asked Ms. Conklin about was a complete list. Mr. Hanson replied it was not a complete list of permits cancelled after 360 days. BRUCE J. DODDS, Dodds Engineers, Inc., 4205 148th AVE NE, Bellevue, WA 98007, read his affidavit into the record, (Exhibit #19.) (The following comments took place during his reading of the affidavit.) The Examiner asked for clarification on whether Mr. Dodds had said that in 1988-89 the site could not have met the then extant requirements of the City. Mr. Dodds replied that the site was capable of meeting the then extant rules of the City, but could not have met the rules that were in the process of being adopted and incorporated from the KCSWDM. The Examiner said that he understood that Mr. Dodds was saying that the City was willing to waive Garth Cray's requirements if the current KCSWDM requirements were met, but updated to a 100 year storm. Mr. Dodds agreed that was correct. Mr. Warren objected to the Randall Parsons letter which Mr. Dodds had referenced. Over Ms. Mack's objection, the Examiner excluded the Randall Parsons letter. Mr. Dodds then explained the drainage plan, noting that it was an unusual approach as it proposed to detain water from 15 acres of upstream systems, using that to adjust on this site. He noted that the drainage system problem had been an extremely difficult one for everyone due to the difficult site, which contained a terrible combination of problems that needed to be solved and apparently some shifting criteria, and he saw that the City and he had both tried to work toward a goal of finding a solution. This matter was continued to 2:00 p.m. The hearing recessed at 12:16 p.m. Sarah E. Mack • AAD-92-151 December 9, 1992 Page 6 The hearing resumed at 2:06 p.m., November 10, 1992, as the Examiner asked for continuing testimony. Ms. Mack said she had not attempted to surprise the City with the Randall Parsons letter, but had provided a copy to the City on October 23, 1992. Mr. Dodds continued his testimony noting that the August 7th proposal provided for detention of all on site drainage, did not have to utilize public property, and a vault adjacent to 4th Street would capture the drainage that would be coming down 4th. Mr. Warren asked whether he had come to the conclusion that the capacity of the downstream pipe was inadequate to handle a two-year storm event, and did he think either of the alternatives in the Cray memo might be impossible to meet. Mr. Dodds stated that it was very close to inadequate, and the capacity was exceeded someplace between the 2 and 5 year event. The system as it extended from Third Street to the Cedar River, which was where the inadequacy existed, was exceeded at the 25 year event. At the two-year level, the flows would be around 25 to 30 CFS. If no outflows were allowed to go from Lexington Ridge the system would still be inadequate at those levels of flow. Lexington Ridge did not have the ability to correct the downstream system. Mr. Warren noted that the current proposal did not detain all on-site run off to the extent originally proposed by the Cray memo and asked why he was detaining contributory flow. Mr. Dodds stated that he was required to analyze the site and the post-development conditions or "Type C" soils, were so low on the hydrograph that he had to retain every drop that flowed onto the site. What he was trying to do was to make the flow that would be going downstream something less than it was presently. Utilizing the detention storage would have the net result going to the downstream system less than what went in today. Mr. Warren said he understood that Mr. Dodds was compensating for the lack of on-site storage by detaining tributary flow so that the combination of the tributary flow and the on-site flow would be the same as the unimpeded tributary flow plus the calculated on-site flow. Mr. Dodds said they were basically shifting a credit and utilizing that on site, which would allow them to do a lessor amount of detention to obtain the same goal. The Examiner stated that other private property or public right-of-way was being used, noting that the site only had limited capacity so another place to economically detain the water had to be found. Mr. Dodds agreed that was one way of doing it. The large storage required wouldn't fit onto the site, so off-site flows were being dealt with as well but the result was far more advantageous to the down-stream system. The Examiner said he understood the site had only limited capacity and if the system had to be built, the number apartments would have to be reduced, so another way to economically do it had been found. Mr. Dodds agreed that was one way of putting it, noting that if all the detention was put on the site it would result in an inefficient detention system and very large on-site storage. Instead, a different solution was being proposed whereby off-site flows were being dealt with as well and a much lessor size of detention system was being created, but the result was far more advantageous to the downstream system. Mr. Warren asked whether the peak discharge from the Lexington Ridge project increased due to the proposed development. Mr. Dodds agreed that it did. Mr. Warren said the statement that peak discharge from the subject property could not be increased due to the proposed development was a primary characteristic of both the City's old and new storm water codes. Mr. Dodds said that depended on how the statement was interpreted and noted that 4th Street was part of the property. Mr. Warren repeated did the peak discharge increase due to the development within the boundaries of the property itself and would those flows be greater. Mr. Dodds answered yes, if the flows coming from the detention vault were strictly attributable to Lexington Ridge. Mr. Warren asked whether it was true that the real problem with this site was that, in pre-developed condition, there was soil that was retentive and after it was removed during development, the soil would be non-retentive. Mr. Dodds agreed that in general, that was true. Ms. Mack said the proposal would be accomplishing a reduction in the flows the now enter the system from the site and the upstream properties. Mr. Dodds agreed and reviewed his calculations, noting that he was not dealing with issues of timing or time lag. He said Sarah E. Mack AAD-92-151 December 9, 1992 Page 7 that at least 1 CFS reduction would be obtained after development. Two separate detention vaults would be on the Lexington site, one for upstream flows and one for the Lexington Ridge project. GREGG ZIMMERMAN, Utilities Systems Director, noted that he previously had been one of the plan reviewers that reviewed this project, and reflecting back to the May meeting with Mr. Olsen, he did not agree that essentially all of the technical details had been worked out at that meeting. There were approximately 75 non-storm drainage comments and those were discussed and solutions determined. There was no commitment that a mere agreement to take care of those 75 items would constitute approval. Agreement had been reached on the direction things had to go. Mr. Warren asked what there was in the prior code and existing storm water code about on-site detention between the pre- developed and post-developed state. Mr. Zimmerman said the storm water code containing Ordinance #3174 that was in effect at the time of the site plan approval predated adoption of the KCSWDM stated that, "peak discharge from the subject property may not be increased due to the proposed development". The current surface water code adopted part of the 1990 KCSWDM, and core requirement #3 stated that, "proposed projects must limit run off not to exceed the pre-development run-off rates for the design storms the codes cover". The peak discharge rate is not supposed to increase. In response to Mr. Warren's question whether Mr. Dodds proposal met either sections of the stormwater code, Mr. Zimmerman said he believed they did not. He had reviewed the August 7th proposed design with Tom Kress, the principal reviewer, and staff decided not to accept the August 7th design. Mr. Zimmerman said a letter dated September 10, 1992, had been sent to Mr. Dodds stating the design was not approved because it would require a storm water code modification. Mr. Warren asked what authority could approve a storm water code modification request. Mr. Zimmerman said requests of this kind may be reviewed by the Administrator of the Planning/Building/Public Works Department. Mr. Warren asked whether the City chose to proceed under that authority. Mr. Zimmerman said we were asked to review and provide staff comments on a conceptual drainage plan to handle peak-rate run off that was different in substance from both the previous and the present code requirements, and which did not comply with City drainage ordinances. Staff did not support this proposal because it was not consistent with the City's past and present practice of requiring independent construction, but placed the responsibility on the City. Staff felt that it was not appropriate for the City to take maintenance responsibilities and legal liability for storm drainage systems which were designed and installed as mitigation for a private development. It would become an essential element of the City's storm water drainage system and maintenance would fall on the City. Placing vaults designed for private use into the public right-of-way was felt to be a dangerous precedent. Mr. Warren stated that Mr. Dodds had used an example of a detention system next to a road that would be developed as part of a plat and did Mr. Zimmerman believe that applicable in this situation. Mr. Zimmerman answered that street improvements were required for private plat development and stormwater systems were required to be incorporated for the portion of the public street improved by the plat. In that sense, plat developers were required to mitigate their storm drainage, but in that instance, the developer was mitigating the impervious surface that he was installing. This plan would be mitigating existing impervious surface rather than the impervious surface created by this development. The developer was required to mitigate those improvements that his development created. Mr. Warren asked when Mr. Zimmerman had heard that the time was about ready to run on the application and whether that had any influence on the review process, to which Mr. Zimmerman answered that he did not exactly recall the date but that it did not have any influence at all, and had no impact on the decision itself. Ms. Mack referred to the letter from Mr. Olsen of June 10, 1992, and asked whether Mr. Zimmerman felt that the storm drainage issue was resolved at the August 7th meeting. Mr. Zimmerman said neither Sarah E. Mack . AAD-92-151 December 9, 1992 Page 8 Mr. Olsen or the plan reviewer felt that the storm issue had been resolved. Regarding the Cray memo, the City and Mr. Dodds had discussed that issue and had come to the determination that although it was recognized that the storm water codes had changed, both parties were going to honor the Cray memo as the established criteria for peak-rate run off control and for water quality but there was also a condition in the ERC staff report which stated that biofiltration would be incorporated in the plan. Ms. Mack, regarding the June 15, 1989, modified ERC decision, asked whether condition #2 required biofiltration. Mr. Zimmerman said his copy of the report, dated April 5th, stated that the applicant provide a storm drainage system including tight lining, aqua-recharging, and biofiltration. The revised copy, as modified in May and June appeared to have deleted biofiltration. Ms. Mack asked whether there were standards that applied to this project other than what was in the Cray memo, to which Mr. Zimmerman answered no, but the Cray memo and City codes, to the extent that they are consistent with Ordinance #3174, ruled on this project. Another overlay was the result of several clarification discussions that Mr. Dodds had with City engineers. Ms. Mack said the criteria that applied to the storm drainage was the Cray memo and City codes. Mr. Zimmerman, referring to the July 7th letter to Mr. Dodds from Tom Kress, clarified that the City was not directing the applicant to come into compliance with peak rate runoff control in the KCSWDM, but was stating that if the applicant could not meet the design criteria, or felt that it was an overwhelming burden to analyze the 80-acre drainage basin, that was offered as a self-elected option to break the deadlock and to make the project feasible while not causing downstream problems for the City. Ms. Mack said regarding criteria, there was the Cray memo, City Ordinance #3174, and the over lay introduced as the result of Tom Kress' July 7th letter. Mr. Zimmerman said there were also early pre-design meetings with Mr. Dodds, at which water quality provisions, downstream analysis criteria, and standards to be used for analysis were discussed. Mr. Zimmerman said the August 7th proposal was a first draft or a conceptual plan showing a modification or alteration of the code and had to be evaluated on its own merits. Ms. Mack said she was trying to find out why Mr. Dodds' proposal was denied. Mr. Zimmerman answered that staff felt he was requesting a deviation from City stormwater codes, either the current codes or the codes in effect at the time of site plan approval for Lexington, Section 9-b of Ordinance 4-22 of the old code. The Examiner asked whether this was the one that said peak discharge may not be increased due to on-site development. Mr. Zimmerman said that was correct. In addition, it was a very questionable area when an code modification request was being made for a project that was designed under the old code, and the City had a new code. Which code ruled? The plan violated both codes so it didn't matter. Ms. Mack again wanted to know the reasons for not approving Dodds' proposal as set forth in the September loth letter, asking whether it was his belief that Mr. Dodds was proposing to construct a detention facility within the City's existing drainage system. Mr. Zimmerman agreed that was his belief. Ms. Mack said Mr. Dodds had testified that what he was proposing was a detention facility on the Lexington Ridge site, constructed by the developer, and not part of the public right-of-way. Mr. Zimmerman stated that was not what he said, he said it did not have to involve construction on City property but it was not affirmative whether it would or not. Asked if he was familiar with the detention system approved by the City for the Sunset Gardens project, Mr. Zimmerman said he believed the Sunset Gardens storm drainage design incorporated a flow spreader facility, but he'd have to look at that design. Ms. Mack asked for confirmation that another reason for not approving the proposal was that the City would have responsibility to assume legal liability for the flows that would be detained in this upstream facility. Mr. Zimmerman understood that it would be City responsibility. Ms. Mack asked whether the upstream flow was now part of the City's drainage system and for which it now had responsibility, and wasn't the City now legally responsible for those flows. Mr. Zimmerman answered yes, in an unimpeded way, and it was a different system. Ms. Mack asked if he had understood the proposal to be that the City would be assuming ownership of this detention vault. Mr. Zimmerman said that would be a City policy call and he noted that anything that would run through Sarah E. Mack AAD-92-151 December 9, 1992 Page 9 City right-of-way and collect City waters in this fashion, would have to be taken over for liability and maintenance purposes by the City. Ms. Mack said, the City would insist upon taking ownership, so therefore wouldn't approve it because it wouldn't want to have the maintenance responsibility. Mr. Zimmerman said the City couldn't afford to have the maintenance responsibility fall on a third party that was not necessarily accountable to the upstream properties. Staff had thought over the plan for about 5 weeks and could think of no way of providing for responsibility to the upstream properties. It was unorthodox as there were no systems performing like that in the City. Ms. Mack asked whether, when the proposal was being reviewed, it was his understanding that the design called for a vault in the public right-of-way. Mr. Zimmerman stated that the proposal was for either public right-of-way or on private property, and was accompanied by a drainage report which was evaluated by Tom Kress who did not feel confident with the numbers, however Mr. Kress felt that it did have a good likelihood of having some potential of doing what Mr. Dodds said it would do. Ms. Mack said she understood that Tom Kress did not feel comfortable with the numbers, yet the September 10th letter didn't mention any concern or lack of comfort. The Examiner asked whether the City needed a fifth reason to say that a project was not approved. Ms. Mack said it was hearsay about Mr. Kress' impressions and there was nothing in the letter. Mr. Zimmerman said it was in the letter after item number 4. Ms. Mack questioned why it took 5 weeks to review the proposal. Mr. Zimmerman said he wasn't clear on the exact date, but the first 2 weeks the item had to wait its turn. The 3rd week it underwent review by Tom Kress, the 4th week it was discussed with staff members, including himself and with other involved City personnel, such as the maintenance field superintendent, and Administrator Lynn Guttmann. After fully evaluating the proposal, the September 10th response was generated. Ms. Mack inquired if the City ever required a developer to mitigate drainage from other properties and when a detention facility on private property was approved, who performed the maintenance, to which Mr. Zimmerman replied that it was not required, and that the owner of the property would be responsible for maintenance of the private portion. The public portion, discharge line from the site and any pipes and catch basins put in along street frontage would be maintained by the City. On occasion, the City had accepted a utility easement for a section of pipeline running through private property, but only if it served a separate upstream property. Mr. Warren asked Mr. Hanson what date he became aware that the building permit application was about to expire. Mr. Hanson said he was reviewing the file early in September and discovered that the date was coming up. Mr. Warren asked whether the upcoming date played in any way on the decision regarding the latest storm drainage proposal. Mr. Hanson said no, it was completely independent. The applicant was notified when we discovered that was the case. Ms. Mack asked Mr. Dodds to describe the approach used on the approved Sunset Gardens drainage system and asked for comparison to his proposal. Mr. Warren objected, but the Examiner said he presumed they were going to show that it was a similar system. Mr. Dodds then reviewed the drainage plan which was approved for Sunset Gardens, noting that it was almost the same approach as what was designed for Lexington Ridge. He noted that it was not built that way today as a change was made prior to construction. Mr. Warren asked whether the detention vault was sized for the development at Sunset Gardens, and not for any tributary flow. Mr. Dodds replied no, it had to be sized for the flow from the public right-of-way. Mr. Warren said, so it was not built like that. Mr. Dodds agreed that it was not. During her closing arguments, Ms. Mack said Mr. Hanson's letter admitted that Mr. Dodds' proposal would work and the City's drainage system would benefit through an overall reduction of flows within the downstream system. The flows would be less than the existing flows from the undeveloped site, taken with all the upstream flows. She wondered why the City did not cite the ERC conditions or the Garth Cray memo in the letter denying the proposal. She felt that the City was basing the denial only on the criteria found in Section 9-b of Ordinance #3174. It was clear that the project engineers had attempted to conform to the established criteria that had been understood since the outset. There was nothing in Mr. Olsen's testimony or his June of 1991 letter to Mr. Zimmerman that suggested that the Sarah E. Mack • AAD-92-151 December 9, 1992 Page 10 City was taking the position that there was an additional standard which applied to this project beyond the Cray memo criteria. There was no basis in the conditions and requirements for disapproving this solution. Other than Mr. Zimmerman's testimony about Ordinance #3174, the department had cited no legal authority for disapproval. Regarding Mr. Hanson's letter about the City having to assume maintenance responsibility and it being unorthodox, this approach had been approved by the City for the Sunset Gardens project, and Mr. Zimmerman had testified that the City did not have to assume maintenance responsibility, but would want to assume it, but that would be a problem. Mr. Zimmerman testified that the City did assume maintenance and ownership of drainage facilities on private property. With the ERC conditions and the criteria set out in the Garth Cray memo, staff was incorrectly applying other standards, such as the KCSWDM, to the proposal and the department had exceeded its authority in doing so. Staffs reference to Section 9-b of Ordinance #3174 did not really solve the question because they hadn't explained why it would be inconsistent with that ordinance to adopt an approach which would result in a decrease in flows entering the City system. Mr. Dodds had explained how and why it would work that way. Ms. Mack also alleged that Mr. Hanson's decision, which he claimed was based on Section 304(d) of the uniform building code, 1988 edition, regarding the building permit expiration, was in excess of authority. The City's interpretation of Section 304(d) was in error because it provided for expiration of building permit applications only where the applicant failed to respond to City plan review comments. She said there was no automatic expiration, only where the applicant did not proceed expeditiously to procure the permit. The time the City took to review did not count. Once the City had completed the review, then the applicant had 180 days to respond, correct, etc. Lexington Ridge had already received an automatic extension on March 17, 1992, for the second.180 days. The ICBO staff provides opinions on how the Uniform Building Code should be interpreted, and there was no indication that anyone connected with the City ever consulted the ICBO prior to Mr. Hanson's decision to terminate the building permit application. The Examiner asked whether Ms. Mack thought the City had to turn to a third party to get an interpretation of its codes. Ms. Mack said no, she was not arguing that they were required to do this but had they done so, they would have received contrary advice. She repeated that time consumed by staff did not count. The Examiner asked whether the City should employ a chess clock to keep track of all this. Ms. Mack said she was not personally familiar about how jurisdictions handled this, although Ms. Clarke could testify that the City of Bothell followed a course where once everything was done by the City, then the applicant had 180 days to make final corrections. She was not uncomfortable with the City of Renton calculating the 180 days based on each time the ball was in the applicant's court, once the time consumed by the City was subtracted out. These time periods established in 304(d) didn't apply to time spent by the City because then the City could purposely cause expiration of a building permit application. Ms. Mack said that keeping a building permit alive was a significant vested right, and it was unjust to permit the City to extinguish that right simply by sitting on the applicant's building permit application, and the applicant had no way of forcing the City to issue a permit. The applicant had worked diligently all through this process and had been spending a lot of time waiting on the City. She was not making an argument that the City unreasonably delayed, however, she argued that the Trustee was entitled to additional time equal to the time taken by the City and was not asking for another extension, but only wanted the full 180 days the code gave. The court did not treat the building permit application as having expired in the case of Valley View versus Redmond, due to City processing time. In the case of Lexington Ridge, the only discretion or criteria guiding staff's review and approval of the storm drainage proposal was set forth in the Garth Cray memo, and was subject to some interpretation. The applicant's engineers had spent nearly a year trying to devise a drainage detention system that would be acceptable to the City, which was apparently using several different guidelines for discretion and it was not really clear what guided that discretion. There were no significant issues remaining to be resolved apart from the storm drainage, as other corrections could be Sarah E. Mack • AAD-92-151 December 9, 1992 Page I made in a matter of a couple of weeks. The City had argued that its interpretation of Section 304(d) was entitled to great weight, but did not have any kind of consistent or uniform application of the interpretation of this policy. Section 304(d) should not have any application where a jurisdiction possessed discretionary authority over a necessary approval. The Building Application Log showed that 84 permits issued since 1984 for 39 separate projects were issued after more than 360 days of plan review. Two were issued after the department terminated review of the Lexington Ridge application and after she had asked for the information. According to department records, 8 other permits were terminated where the building permits were not issued within 360 days and, although Mr. Hanson testified that there were other examples, that information was not provided. Of those 8, 5 had been terminated after the Lexington expiration, many of them after more than 360 days. She felt that in view of the City's treatment of these other applications, and in view of the City's issuance of other building permits after 360 days, the City could not argue that it had no choice but to terminate the Lexington application. The applicant was responding diligently to plan review comments, and at the time the letter cancelling the building permit arrived from Mr. Hanson, the applicant was waiting to hear back from staff on Mr. Dodds' storm drainage proposal. She alluded that the department had only recently decided to stick to 304(d) because of the Lexington appeal. She asked the Examiner to determine that the concept met the criteria established in the ERC decision and reverse and remand to staff with instructions to approve the concept and proceed in good faith to review the structural design submitted by Mr. Dodds. Ms. Mack said the decision to terminate the building permit application was arbitrary and capricious and must be reversed by the Examiner. Mr. Warren stated that this was a difficult situation, and the drainage situation proved to be more difficult. The responsibility to comply with the building code rested upon the applicant, not the City. The primary focus should be the building code section, which says that applications for which no permit is issued within 180 days following the date of application shall expire by limitation. It doesn't say except the time the City takes reviewing, except this or except that, it says 180 days, it shall expire. The Examiner asked what occurred if the City sat on an application and the time was all eaten up half by the applicant and half by the City. Mr. Warren said the City did spend time reviewing applications, but turned the applications around in a reasonably short period of time. Meanwhile the applicant was working on a number of things and did not lose any time except perhaps at the very end. Why did it take so long? The applicant generally was not prepared to go forward with this project and had filed because the site plan was about to expire. The full application came in bits and pieces. The City was left with a situation where it said that the code section stated "it shall expire except where the building official may extend the time for action by the applicant." The City ran up against the magic day, March 17th, and extended the time for 180 days. That is, a period not exceeding 180 days. The City had made a policy decision that if there was an active permit application going on it would extend for that 180 day period. It did not say except for the time the City may use reviewing plans. Then the code said that no application shall be extended more than once. He referred to the Roanoake Reef where it was found that the City had to comply with the building codes. Any other course of administrative action thereby inviting discretion might well result in a violation of equal protection of the law. The Examiner asked what happened when it was applied a different way, and through discretion, negligence or oversight, 360 days was not enforced. Mr. Warren said that was an estoppel argument no matter how it was couched. If that could serve as a basis for the Examiner to tell the department that they had to extend the time, then the Examiner was telling the department that it had to commit an ultra vires act. The Building Permit Application Log list covered over 10 years, and when the ones that were clearly erroneous, or for a remodel or demolition were tossed out, there were only 29, which over a period of years, was not excessive and was a small portion of the permits. An argument could not be made on that sampling that it pointed to any sort of City policy to extend the time, however the City did make some mistakes. Maybe the City should not have agreed to cut some fee decisions on behalf of the applicant, or should not have decided to make the SUCC fees payable later in the project. There was ambiguity in the Garth Cray memo which was worked out with the Sarah E. Mack AAD-92-151 December 9, 1992 Page 12 applicant. The City had been willing to tell the applicant that they did not have to have full final plan compliance before issue of the permit. The letter from Mr. Kress was given to the applicant to offer an option on stormwater drainage, and the City had extended the building permit application. There were a number of instances where the City worked out problems with the applicant but it had come to an impasse on the stormwater issue. Mr. Warren said, examine what happened on the storm water issue. Everyone went in believing that the Cray memo could be met, but after all the analysis, it turned out that it probably couldn't be met. According to Mr. Dodds' testimony, there was a significant likeFhood that the system could not be designed to meet Mr. Cray's memo. At that time, one of the decisions that the City could have made was that the applicant couldn't meet the conditions, the application would be rejected and at that point, the site plan would have run out and we wouldn't be here. There were statements made about the fact that flows entering the City system would be less than that required by City code. The City objects to that characterization. The flow coming down the tributary channel was City flow already. It would be intercepted and then re-injected, but that did not change the fact that it was a City flow. All of the drainage policies that the City had were pointed at on-site retention/detention. The fundamental thing that this final proposal did was try to avoid that, which was almost like the applicant saying that they were going to make system improvements somewhere else and then discharge all of their site's water. It left the City with a number of difficult situations. Regarding maintenance, there would be material in the system that would have to be taken out, and it would take the City out of the situation where it could do its modeling. The City's position was not that discretion was being exercised concerning the terms of the building codes. The building code states what it states. Mr. Warren said the Cowiche Canyon case talked about great weight being given to governmental decisions when a statute was ambiguous. That building code section was not ambiguous. The Valley View case was not the same, as that was a situation in which there was SEPA and site plan all to be done. That was not to be done in this case. The City was without authority under the statute to renew the permit. The language of the code is rather plain, and the City did not have discretion to interpret that language. The code compels the result. On the other hand, great weight had to be given to the City's determination on the drainage code because the drainage code did involve discretion. If anything, the City had gone too far in continuing to entertain proposals and applications on the drainage. This last proposal was the best one seen yet, but that did not mean that it served the public interest. Much had been made of the list of expired permits. Ms. Mack improperly characterizes the dates the letters were sent out, which was the only date the City told them. The permits expired according to the terms of the Code. The duty was on the applicant. The fact that there were only 6-8 permits listed was because a public records request was received and those records, according to the building code, had been destroyed so only current records were available. The City did not have a responsibility to go find materials from old records which had been destroyed. If there had not been problems and time delays on both sides, this hearing would not be taking place. The fact remained that the applicant filed on the eve of expiration of the site plan and did not have one of the major problems on the site resolved, which was storm drainage. That problem was not now resolved. Whether the City should have approved that particular system or not was irrelevant because the building code caused the time to run, but Mr. Warren also asserted that it was not an error for the City to have rejected the final design, because the City had to take into account the greater public good. He said it was not clearly erroneous, it was not arbitrary, nor was it capricious. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and no further comments from staff. The Examiner said he would like to take an additional two weeks to issue the report, to which there were no objections. The hearing closed at 4:15 p.m. Sarah E. Mack AAD-92-151 ' December 9, 1992 Page 13 FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The appellant, Sarah Mack, on behalf of Grahame R. Ross, Trustee in Bankruptcy of Centron, Inc., filed an appeal of two determinations of the Department of Planning/Building/Public Works. The appeals were brought pursuant to Sections 4-8-10(A)(13) and 4-8-10(A)(8). The determinations were issued in conjunction with a review of a building permit application. The building permit application was based upon a site plan approved for an apartment complex in the City of Renton. 2. The appeal was filed on September 16, 1992 and was filed in a timely manner. 3. The site plan was approved by the Hearing Examiner in a report dated October 13, 1989 (File No. SA-082-087). The Examiner originally denied the proposal but an appeal of that decision to the City Council resulted in a remand to the Examiner. The proposal was to construct a 360 unit apartment complex on approximately 13.4 acres of property located between Edmonds Avenue NE on the east and Bronson Avenue NE on the west and between NE 3rd Street and NE 4th Street. The site is located across from the Renton Group Health Clinic. 4. One of the current issues on appeal was based upon the indirect condition imposed in the Examiner's Report that required compliance with an ERC (Environmental Review Committee) condition. That condition itself was based on a June 15, 1989 memorandum written by Garth Cray. The memorandum states: "The project will require a detention system which will meet the following two scenarios: i) if conveyance capacity of the existing City storm system is determined to be sufficient in capacity to address a 25 year storm, then the requirement will be ten year detention with a ten year existing conditions release rate, or ii) if the capacity of the existing system is determined to be less than that necessary to address a 25 year storm, the requirements would be for a 25 year detention system with a release rate being computed under pre-developed conditions for the year storm matching the capacity of the existing system (i.e. if the capacity of the existing system is 10 years, then the release rate will be computed on the 10 year storm). The method utilized to compute the detention should be a SCS unit hydrograph method or other approved methods (Santa Barbara Urban Hydrograph, SWMM, etc). In addition, the detention design should incorporate the 2 year storm, showing no increase in flows from site for the 2 year storm as a result of development." The imposition of the ERC condition regarding storm water was not appealed nor was its adoption by the Hearing Examiner. Sarah E. Mack • • AAD-92-151 December 9, 1992 Page 14 5. The rejection of a conceptual storm drainage plan submitted by the appellant on August 7, 1992, submitted to carry out the intent of the memo provides the basis for the first appeal issue. 6. The August 7, 1992, conceptual plan was rejected in a letter issued by James C. Hanson on September 10, 1992. The major reason for not supporting the storm drainage plan was that it did not comply with code requirements and would require a code amendment. The record reflects that staff believes that the conceptual plan meets neither the current code or the then existing code. For reasons discussed below, both the current drainage code and the drainage code extant when the application was submitted were used to review this plan. Beyond the fact that the proposal did not meet code, the letter cited four reasons for rejecting the proposal including: the policy requires on-site detention; maintenance responsibilities would be shifted or created for the system that is now unimpeded; it contained difficult and unusual infrastructure; it amounted to an inappropriate precedent. 7. In addition, in that same September 10th letter, the appellant was informed that the Building Permit Application which had been submitted on September 17, 1991 would expire on September 17, 1992. The City cited Section 304(d) of the 1988 Uniform Building Code which has been adopted by the City. That provisions states: "(d) Expiration of Plan Review. Applications for which no permit is issued within 180 days following the date of application shall expire by limitation, and plans and other data submitted for review may thereafter by returned to the applicant or destroyed by the building official. The building official may extend the time for action by the applicant for a period not exceeding 180 days upon request by the applicant showing that circumstances beyond the control of the applicant have prevented action from being taken. No application shall be extended more than once. In order to renew action on an application after expiration, the applicant shall resubmit plans and pay a new plan review fee." 8. The criteria used to originally define the storm drainage requirements are found in Ordinance 3174, Section IX(B): "The peak discharge from the subject property may not be increased due to the proposed development;" The current requirements are found in Core 3 of the King County Design Manual. The criteria are essentially the same. The new requirement found in Section 1.2.3 rieads: "Proposed projects must provide peak runoff control to limit the developed conditions peak rates of runoff from specific design storm events not to exceed the pre-development peak rates for the proposed project site 'existing conditions' as described below..... Proposed project peak rate runoff control must be located on-site. An exemption from on-site peak rate runoff control may be granted for the special conditions specified at the end of this core requirement section." Nothing in the record demonstrates that any exemption was applicable to the subject proposal or the conceptual plan of August 7, 1992. Sarah E. Mack AAD-92-151 ' December 9, 1992 Page 15 9. While it is not clear what sparked the City's resolve to terminate any unresolved building permit applications after one year, they apparently determined that a number of such applications had expired and sent out correspondence at one time, notifying the respective applicants. The appellant was also notified of the limitation. 10. The record reflects that in the past, the City has issued some building permits after the expiration of the one year limitation utilized to terminate the appellant's application. The existing record, though, does not provide an accurate record of how many permits were issued beyond the one year limitation, however, the record reflects that it was a small number c., the permit total. 11. A chronology of events related to the attempts at achieving a working versus a conceptual storm drainage system includes a number of submissions which can be best summarized as follows: a. June 20, 1991 - A preliminary meeting was held before the appellant submitted the building permit application. At that meeting the parties agreed that storm drainage would be governed by the criteria in the Cray memorandum. b. September 17, 1991 - The appellant's representatives submitted a storm water design and supporting analysis with its building permit application. C. November 5, 1991 through February 12, 1992 - The City required and the appellant provided additional analysis of the proposed storm drainage system's downstream impacts. d. February 14, 1992 (Approximately) - It was determined that downstream capacity was limited and a possible alternative for handling the storm water might be an infiltration system. e. February 24, 1992 - A conceptual design for an infiltration system was submitted and approved as conceptual on February 27, 1992. The final design was submitted May 7, 1992. f. May 7, 1992 - The city requested verification of the infiltration rates. g. May 14, 1992 - The City agreed it could issue a building permit without final technical corrections to plans as long as all technical issues were resolved and a storm drainage plan was completed. h. May 18, 1992 - It was agreed that everything was acceptable but that verification of infiltration rates was needed. i. June 1, 1992 - Golder Associates (a separate agency used to test and verify the rates) verified the infiltration rates which were forwarded to the City on June 11, 1992. j. June 1, 1992 - The City, via a phone call, informed the appellants that Golder's recommendations on design and written assurances of suitability were necessary. k. June 15, 1992 - The appellants were made aware that the infiltration rates could not be satisfied due to some error. Sarah E. Mack • • AAD-92-151 December 9, 1992 Page 16 ` 1. June 19, 1992 - The city was informed that the infiltration proposal would not work. The appellants suggested another alternative design but wanted to use certain assumptions of soil type to determine the pre-development holding capacity of the soils versus post-development containment or detention. The appellant assumed soil type "B." M. June 24, 1992 - The City was sent a letter with this new proposal. n. July 7, 1992 - The City responded with design criteria for a 100 year storm and assuming the soil type "A" for pre-development conditions and soil type "C" for post- development conditions. The basis for this determination was that the appellant's plans would remove almost all the native soils down to a less permeable layer. o. July 13 to July 15 - The appellant attempted to have the City reconsider its soil type assumptions. p. July 16, 1992 - The city attorney notified the appellants that the City was waiting for design information for the retention/detention system before proceeding. q. August 7, 1992 - The appellants submitted an alternative proposal which the appellant maintained met the July 7, 1992 criteria the City specified. The alternative would detain upstream storm water thereby keeping it from entering the downstream system and freeing capacity in the downstream system for storm water from the site. r. August 19, 1992 - The City responded that it had to discuss the proposal with its maintenance staff. The appellant pressed for a response to the August 7, proposal until it received the City's response September 10, 1992. S. September 10, 1992 - The City sends the letter which indicated the alternative was unacceptable and, in addition, notified the appellant that the building permit application would expire on September 17, 1992. That letter gave rise to this appeal. 12. The record reflects that the original condition under the Cray Memo would have required detention of approximately I million gallons of water or a total volume of approximately 142,000 cubic feet. It appears that there was insufficient space available to contain such a system and that the costs were considered prohibitive. The second alternative was to analyze the downstream system for upgrade but that was also considered too complex and again, too costly. The third alterative was to create an infiltration system to introduce storm water into the underlying soils. This alternative was discarded when it was determined that original presumptions regarding the underlying soils were inappropriate and that such a system would not work. The fourth alternative was to discharge runoff at pre-development rates consistent with the 1990 King County Manual if the city would permit the appellants to abandon the Cray methodology. Again, soil assumptions were an issue and the City used conservative estimates for the existing soils and for the remaining soils after site preparation striped those soils and further required a 100 year storm event accommodation. The result was that, once again, a system with sufficient capacity could not be created to serve the approved site plan. The final alternative, Alternative 5, would detain upstream flows and in the appellants words, create a "credit" which the appellant could use. The appellant would detain storm water originating in other areas of the drainage basin and detain those. It would then be free to release greater than "permitted" flows from the developed site. The net effect on the downstream system would be the same or less than the existing flows coupled with post-development flows from the subject site. The reason for this is that the downstream system would be receiving less of the flows Sarah E. Mack AAD-92-151 December 9, 1992 Page 17 from upstream of the subject site (which would be stored when they reached the subject site) plus storm water from the subject site. As discussed elsewhere, the City determined that this procedure did not meet the code criteria, as it altered the City's existing system in an unorthodox fashion. 12. Over the course of the last year the applicant has submitted a number of conceptual drainage plans including this last one. In the interim the City adopted a new drainage ordinance. The City agrees that the appellant's proposal would ordinarily be governed by the older ordinance but as new plans were submitted and as it became obvious that the appellant's site limitations made compliance with the original ERC/Hearing Examiner conditions difficult, if not actually impossible, the City adopted a more flexible approach including reviewing the proposal under different standards but in doing so, reviewed compliance with both the older standards and the newer standards. The appellant acquiesced to this dual approach. 13. The subject site is located within Zone 2 of the City of Renton's Aquifer Protection Area (APA). 14. The appellant attempted to show this project was similar to one approved by the City for a project known as Sunset Gardens. That proposal incorporates a "flow spreader" to deal with storm water. The appellant's proposal would intercept upstream flow that is now unimpeded and detain it, altering the City's responsibility for maintenance. It appears the two designs are not analogous to one another. 15. The final storm drainage alternative was processed in a normal fashion. The proposal was awaiting its turn for approximately two weeks, it was reviewed the third week, circulated and discussed with other staff the fourth week and with the maintenance and other staff during the fifth week. 16. The City maintains that prior to its September 10, 1992, letter it had no legal obligation to inform the appellant that the permit would expire on September 17, 1992, and only did so in that letter as a courtesy for informational purposes. 17. Exhibit No. 8 contains a February 20, 1992, letter from Sally Clarke, the attorney representing the Trustee in Bankruptcy thanking the City for its willingness to work with the trustee. 18. This office finds that the City reviewed the various proposals and bargained in good faith. This is based on the record which demonstrates that the City reviewed a number of storm drainage proposals including at least two which were not authorized under the approved Site Plan or ERC conditions only to find them either impractical or inappropriate. It is also based on the testimony of appellant's witnesses Dodds and Olsen. Mr. Olsen and Mr. Dodds both expressed similar sentiment about the cooperative and collaborative spirit they encountered in negotiating with the City until the dispute at the end. CONCLUSIONS 1. The appellant has the burden of demonstrating that the Development Services Director's decision was either in error, or was otherwise contrary to law or constitutional provisions, or was arbitrary and capricious (Section 4-8-11(B)(4)). The decision of the governmental agency is entitled to substantial weight. Therefore, the determination of the Development Services Director is entitled to be maintained unless the appellant clearly demonstrates that the determination was in error. The appellant has failed to demonstrate that the action of the Sarah E. Mack AAD-92-151 December 9, 1992 Page 18 Development Services Director should be modified or reversed. The decision of the Development Services Director is affirmed. 2. The court in citing Norway Hill Preservation and Protection Association v. King County Council, 87 Wn 2d 267, 274; 1976, stated: "A finding is 'clearly erroneous' when although there is evidence to support it, the reviewing court on the entire evidence is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed." An action is clearly erroneous when, although there is evidence to support it, the reviewing body, on the entire evidence, is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed. (Ancheta v Daly, 77 Wn. 2d 255, 259 (1969). 3. Arbitrary and capricious action has been defined as willful and unreasoning action in disregard of the facts and circumstances. A decision, when exercised honestly and upon due consideration of the facts and circumstances, is not arbitrary or capricious (Northern Pacific Transport Co. v Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, 69 Wn. 2d 472, 478 (1966). 4. The appellant has failed to demonstrate that the Director's decision was founded upon anything but a fair review of the evidence. The appellant has failed to demonstrate with cogent evidence that a mistake was made. There is nothing in the record that would lead one to believe that the decision was arbitrary or capricious. 5. The code provision challenged by the appellant appears clear. It does not seem to leave any room for interpretation nor does it appear necessary to attempt to interpret it. "Applications for which no permit is issued within 180 days following the date of application shall expire by limitation ..." (Emphasis supplied). While an extension may be granted and was in this case, "No application shall be extended more than once." (Emphasis supplied). 6. Any attempt to show that the City either purposely or negligently delayed processing the permit is not founded upon any credible evidence. Correspondence and testimony indicated that the negotiations were productive and cooperative. What the record shows is that the site had a series of geotechnical constraints, including soil types, slope, location vis a vis other drainage, and a site plan without the space to accommodate a commensurate storm drainage system. All of this was discovered in the course of review. Therefore, there is no reason to consider the notion that the 180 day timing clock be stopped or retroactively reset during City review. 7. The appellant argues that Section 304(d) should be viewed as a limitation on the time an applicant has to submit its plans. This argument ignores some crucial concepts. What the appellant suggests is that any time the City utilizes in reviewing and responding to an applicant's submission be deducted from the total time, otherwise the City could unnecessarily stall a project and permit the time to run out. As indicated above, there is no evidence of bad faith. 8. In any event, if the provision were to act like a chess clock, running when the applicant had to submit something and stopped as the City reviewed something, it would be very difficult to figure out how to run the clock. Would the timer be stopped or rather started each time the City made a phone call to an applicant to inquire about something? Does it stop again each time the applicant asks a question of the City? Does the running and stopping of the clock depend on the status of the player or will only certain players be entitled to stop and start the clock? Sarah E. Mack AAD-92-151 December 9, 1992 Page 19 9. With these types of issues surrounding the appellant's proposal on how to clock the 180 days, it is clear that the ordinance means what it says: the time runs from when the application is submitted and keeps running until the permit is either issued or the time limit has expired, absent a clear demonstration of bad faith on the part of the jurisdiction. Again, there was no showing of bad faith. 10. The provision in question does not appear to extend any discretion to the City. The "application shall expire by limitation." It is merely a ministerial duty. As the above discussion of the clock demonstrates, it would be nearly impossible to fairly determine if the appropriate party stopped or started the clock even in this day and age of the computer. Also it is apparent that a lot of actions occur simultaneously and it would be nearly impossible to determine if the clock is running on one issue but has stopped for another issue or issues. It is also clear that while the City was reviewing various storm drainage proposals, the appellant's team was working on other technical details. Did the clock run or didn't it? The ordinance clearly says the clock was running. 11. The appellant also argues that they had no prior notice or knowledge that the City would take this rigid position on the expiration of the permit and they were taken by surprise by the September 10, 1992, letter. This office is not in a position to rule on whether the method the City used was either tactful or courteous. Section 304(d) does not need City action to be enforceable. It is automatic. 12. Neither is this office prepared to rule that because the City failed to act or acted differently in other cases implementing this provision that it should be inapplicable to the appellant. This case is reviewed on its own merits. In its simplest terms, two wrongs don't make a right. More formally, because of the automatic nature of the provision, any attempt to ignore the provision would require the City to undertake an ultra vires act. The City was not arbitrary or capricious in its enforcement of this provision. 13. The second issue on appeal was whether the City inappropriately rejected the August 7, 1992, storm drainage proposal. First, this office will not decide whether plans that were discarded prior to the August 7, 1992 submission were appropriate or not under the Conditions of the ERC since those issues were not clearly presented in the appeal. Second, the applicable storm drainage code appears to be either the original code in effect when the site plan was approved or the new code adopted subsequent to the site plan's approval, as both the City and the appellant acquiesced when it found that the original conditions found in the Cray memo seemed quite impractical when applied to this site. 14. There seems little question that the criteria presented in the Cray memorandum were probably incapable of being accomplished on the subject site. It is now irrelevant. Whether that was because the memo's standards were imprecise, or because it was subject to misinterpretation or because the amount of native soil disruption, coupled with building placement and resulting impermeable surfaces results in a need for a huge detention capacity that is either very costly or generally impractical. The approval of the site plan was predicated on managing storm water in a fashion that would limit off-site runoff and meet code requirements. It appears that both sides relaxed the original conditions in an attempt to provide an appropriate storm water system that also met all code requirements. 15. Under either the original storm water provision or the new design manual, the appellant is required to limit storm water runoff to pre-development levels after development of the site. The August 7, 1992, proposal would not have accomplished this. The appellant instead Sarah E. Mack AAD-92-151 December 9, 1992 Page 20 proposed diverting upstream flows to create a "storm water credit" which it could use to release more than the permitted amount of storm water. In effect, the appellant would reduce the amount of storm water in the storm water system by shunting the upstream flow into a containment device either located on appropriate areas of the subject site or elsewhere thereby lessening the amount of storm water that would be in the system as it passed the site. Then the appellant would release additional flows for which there would now be capacity since storm water upstream of the site's release point would have been diverted. Staff concluded this did not meet the requirement to limit storm water runoff to pre-development levels after development. In addition, staff concluded that the proposal would apparently alter the responsibility for maintenance and potentially shift liability which the City found unacceptable. 16. The proposal is not permitted under either code provision, nor is it permitted under the permissible exemptions. Nothing in the record demonstrates that any exemption was applicable to the subject proposal or the conceptual plan of August 7, 1992. The reviewing body should not substitute its judgment for that of the original body with expertise in the matter, unless the reviewing body has the firm conviction that a mistake has been made. The fact that the applicant can divert upstream flow to reduce the quantity of storm water in the system is irrelevant. The option to divert upstream flow is not sanctioned under either the old law or the current law. Both code provisions required that post-development run off from the site not exceed pre-development flows. The code does not permit the August 7, 1992, storm drainage proposal. There is no error in the City's position. 17. In conclusion, it does not appear that under any standard of review, either of the City actions were wrong. They were founded upon a clear reading of both the codes and the evidence presented. DECISION: The decisions of the Development Services Director are affirmed. ORDERED THIS 9th day of December, 1992.

RE: Lexington Ridge Alternative Surface Water Management Facilitios Dear Mr. Dodds, As you requested, I have reviewed the storm drainage report and calculations for the Lexington Ridge Apartments (dated Septembor 17, 1992) and have the following comments regarding their technical accuracy. I will not be providing comments on the policy aspects of this proposed facility versus that which would be rogUirod to meet either King County ()r the City of Renton's applicable code or SEPA requirements. I have reviewed the assumptions, approaches and conclusions in the calculations and they appear to rite to be conceptually correct. i did not re-run the model or check details such as travel time calculations, curve numbers solocted or rainfall volumes. In particular, the final results indicating that the overall peak flows for tale range of design storms downstream are less by detaining off-site tributary runoff along with the on-site developed runoff rather than employing a facility to control strictly the on-site runoff is conceptually accurate. The reason this occurs is that the percentage of peak flow reduction from detaining the volume, of runoff represented by the upper portion of the combined hydrographs is substantially greater than that provided when detaining the much larger volume of runoff contained in the lower portion of the hydrograph. Note, this relationship is very similar lo, and is illustraTod by, the discussion and hydrographs shown on pages 3.5.4-7 and 8 in the King County Surface Water Design Manual. 1 ho routing of the off-site tributary drainage Area through the proposed facility should not foreclose any future upstream or downstream improvements to further- reduce peak runoff rates in order to further reduce potential downstream flooding. If a standard flow control assembly is used in the vakllt it could be easily retrofitted to re-optimize the flow control provided with the broader sub-basin objectives. It appears that classification of the soils on this site as S.C.S. Type "A" may be questionable- The soils mapping prepared by S.C.S. and others is always subject to revision by actual field testing by qualified soils engineers. Hydrologically, if the Typ{; "A" soils only exist on the surface horizon, say 6 to 8 foot in depth over a glacial till, then the hydrologic responso will be much more similar to a S.C.S. Type "C" soil. In Type "C" soils the rainfall which infiltrates into the soil is blocked by the till and moves laterally down gradient along the surface of the till as interflow. This appears likoly the case with this site. I should also note that as I understand: the S-C.S. hydrologic analysis method parameters used to represent the volume of rainfall that becomes runoff, the "Curve Numbers", were developed and calibrated to include measurement of this interflow along with the true Hortoniari surface flow. Based on your indicating that water quality re(Juirerl)entS du not apply to this project due to vesting, I also recommend that consideration be given to optimizing this facility strictly for ti ROM ;VC SWM-1111 BLDG.

This is based on tho fact that potential flooding on the downstream systdrn (3rd Ave.) appears to be the most significant problem and may represent a potentially significant public safety problem. Erosion on the system (typically mitigated by control of the 2 y(!ar design storm even flow) is not of concern. This is due 10 the fact that the downstream system is essentially a tightline or constructed channel all the way to the point of discharge to the Cedar River. Considering the very large developed area and the conveyance system composition downstream I believe that using this alternative facility's voILIIII : to control the 2 year design storm event (for erosion and water quality) is marginally beneficial when compared to benofits of flood control for the 10 or 25 year design storm ovents. If water quality requirements are dotermined to be necessary to treat tho on-site runoff if-jai) I would recommond they be provided by a soparnte facility ulistroarr► of this proposed facility. I would recommend consideration be given to optimizing the proposed facility for contiol of the 25 year design storm event as this is the current standard for conveyance system capacity. Optimizing the facility for the 25 year design s1or1il event with a single startle orifice will still result in significant attortuation of the 2,10 and 100 year design storm event flows. Note, if this proposed facility is not employed I would still recomrrrond that the on-site runoff control facility be designod to this optimal performanue and that attenuation of the other year design storl-n event flows he ineidontai.. I am interested in encouraging that this proposed facility be considered because I believe that its technical basis has merit. I base this on my opinion that we rr-ruSt adapt our requirements where there is groator benefit to solving the real problems posed by providing surface water management facilities on the parcels of land remaining undovelo(ied within thr3 urban areas. I feel that we must maintain flHxihility in surfaco w''itor rnanageincnt in order to an,�ourage the in-fill development and re-development that will be essential to allowing us to fulfill the objortives of the Growth Management Act.

DODDS ENGINEERS, INC. 4205 148th Street, Suite 200 Bellevue, Washington 98007 Subject: Lexington Ridge Apartments Dear Bruce: In our meeting of August 7, 1992, you presented a conceptual revision to the Lexington Ridge storm drainage design and requested that City staff evaluate your proposal before expending the effort to revise project plans and drainage calculations incorporating the change. A summary of our evaluation is contained herein. The proposed design revision involves inserting a large underground concrete detention vault with control structure into an existing storm drain line located in NE 4th Street/ Bronson Way. Addition of this facility to the City's storm drainage system would control peak flows from tributary areas upstream of the project site and create available capacity within the downstream drainage system. Storm water being released from the Lexington Ridge project would then be increased to utilize a portion of the newly created capacity and reduce the size and cost of onsite storm water control facilities. The City's drainage system would realize a benefit by overall reduction in flows within the downstream system which currently is subject to periodic flooding. The following references were consulted during evaluation of your proposal: Renton Storm and Surface Water Drainage Ordinance, Ordinance No. 3174 approved November 21, 1977. King County Surface Water Design Manual, January 1990, adopted by Ordinance No. 4269 approved May 21, 1990. Based on our understanding of the proposal, it appears this conceptual drainage scheme deviates from both past and present drainage ordinance requirements by virtue of the following: �,.. a. The proposal results in peak stormwater flows from the developed project that exceed existing or predeveloped conditions. b. Proposed facilities would be used to control offsite stormwater runoff rather than required onsite runoff control. 200 Mill Avenue South - Renton, Washington 98055 • Lexington Ridge Apartments • 9/10/92 Page 2 Because the proposal does not comply with adopted City drainage ordinances, an administrative code modification will be necessary. Procedures for submittal of an administrative code modification.request have been established by City Ordinance No. 4342 (see attached copy). However, you should be aware that staff does not support this proposal for the following reasons: 1. This approach to project stormwater control is not consistant with the City's past and present practice of requiring development projects to install independent onsite stormwater detention and runoff control facilities to mitigate increased storm runoff created by the project. Constructing a detention facility within the City's existing drainage system to control offsite drainage and allow the project to discharge storm runoff of greater magnitude than is normally acceptable places a responsibility for project stormwater detention and potential consequences of unpredicted storm events on the City and private upstream properties. 2. Because the new detention vault along NE 4th Street/Bronson Way would collect public drainage and become an essential element of the City's stormwater collection system, maintenance responsibility would fall upon the City Maintenance Department which currently does not have the resources, experience or budget allocation to effectively maintain a facility such as this. 3. It is unorthodox for a public drainage system to incorporate a facility that is normally used to control private drainage into the public system. Addition of detention vaults and in-line flow restrictors will make management and planning of the system more difficult and possibly complicate or restrict future capital improvements to the storm drainage infrastructure. 4. It is undesirable for the City to establish a precedent for this approach to stormwater management of private development projects. If you wish to pursue this proposal further, please note the appeal procedures identified in the attached administrative code modification ordinance. Your code modification request must include a complete analysis of the drainage basin tributary to the proposed detention/control vault with accurate mapping of the basin in its present condition along with all computer printouts of hydrograph and level pool routing routines for a complete technical analysis. It has become evident that your client does not intend to develop the apartment units at this time but that some other owner will develop the site in the future. The City has not evaluated the project as a phased development from the storm drainage or any other standpoint. The EIS and site plan review assumed that the grading was part of the larger construction project with no time lapse between portions of construction. The City must ask for some assurance that the `- development will be completed in a timely manner acceptable to the City or we must ask that review be conducted on a phased project which will require an addendum to the original EIS and a revised site plan approval including a fill and grade permit. Please contact Don Erickson in our Current Planning Section at 235-2550 if you wish to apply for an addendum to the EIS or site plan approval. If you wish to proceed toward acquiring a building permit for this project please submit some security acceptable to the City to ensure timely completion of the project. i Lexington Ridge Apartments 9/10/92 Page 3 Your building permit application will expire on September 17, 1992. According to Section 304d of the 1988 Uniform Building Code, no extension beyond September 17, 1992 may be granted. Remaining unapproved.corrections required in our June 10, 1992 letter must be made and approved by the City prior to September 17, 1992. We hope this information is helpful in bringing this project to a successful conclusion. Thank you for your patience in this matter. Sincerely, James C.

EIS proposed conventional detention system to control peak rate runoff so as to accommodate a 25-year storm event and a 5-year release rate, and off-site frontage improvements would accommodate the 100-year storm event. It was estimated that a 19,000-20,000 cubic foot capacity detention volume would be required. Oil/grease traps were proposed, along with silt sumps. Biofiltration was not considered due to site constraints. o April 5, 1989, ERC staff report produced by City. The staff report called for provision of tightlining, aqua recharging and biofiltration. It also called for a plan for protection of the aquifer through installation of oil/grease traps, silt sumps in catch basins, and risers in the detention facility. It required a maintenance and monitoring plan. It required a detention system coordinated with capacity of the downstream piping infrastructure, in accordance with the Garth Cray Memo of 6/15/89. o June 15, 1989, Garth Cray Memo calls for drainage system to meet two scenarios: -if conveyance capacity of the existing City storm system is determined to be sufficient in capacity to address a 25 year storm, then the requirement will be 10 year storm detention with a 10 year storm existing condition release rate. -If the capacity of the existing system is determined to be less than that necessary to address a 25 year storm, the requirements would be for a 25 year detention system with a release rate being computed under predeveloped conditions for the year storm matching the capacity of the existing system (i.e. if the capacity of the existing system is 10 year storm, then the release rate will be computed on the 10 year storm). The system should also be designed to handle the 2 year storm. Calculations will be by accepted hydrograph - methodology. -Biofiltration will not be required (contradicts ERC report).

This addendum changes the criteria for the detention system established by the Garth Cray memo above. This addendum requires the system to be designed to control peak rate run off for the 2, 10, 25, and 100 year storm events, without regard to the downstream capacity issue. The system would need to limit peak rate runoff from these design storm events to the pre-construction peak runoff rates. This provision is the same as our current code requirements, except it is more strict in that it adds a requirement to control the 25 and the 100 year storms. Our current code requires control of the 2 and 10 year storms, with 30% volume capacity added to the detention sizing needed for the 10 year storm. In most cases this ADDENDUM would be stricter and result in a larger detention facility than our current code. The validity of this ADDENDUM as a site plan mitigation document is somewhat questionable, since it is not referenced in the ERC or Hearing Examiner reports. Since this ADDENDUM contradicts the Garth Cray memo, Dodds Engineers and the City agreed to use the criteria established in the Garth Cray memo to guide peak rate run off control design. o October 13, 1989, Hearing Examiner Report approved site plan. Report requires compliance with ERC conditions. o June 20, 1991, Dodds Engineers met with City staff (Randall Parsons and Gregg Zimmerman) to discuss design criteria for the building permit application. It was decided mutually at this meeting to accept the ERC Staff Report and the Garth Cray memo as a basis to design the peak rate runoff control portion of the system. The contradiction in the ERC Staff Report and the Garth Cray memo regarding biofiltration was troubling. Again, it was mutually agreed to not require biofiltration or baffled oil/water separators, but rather wet vaults that would satisfy City need to provide water quality facility, but also be sensitive to the site space constraints. This was an attempt by the City to be accommodating: we could have asked for biofiltration according to the ERC staff report. Due to lack of clear, comprehensive standards in our City Code regarding temporary erosion control provisions, pipe sizing criteria, and downstream analysis methodologies at the time of site plan approval, the City and Dodds mutually agreed to use the standards of the current storm water code for these elements. Note that this agreement did not alter any of the site plan conditions; rather, it established a clear methodology for accomplishing these conditions. The possibility of incorporating infiltration into the roof and landscaping drainage design was discussed at this meeting. Infiltration is consistent with the ERC report (termed "aqua recharging" in report). o September 17, 1991, acceptance of building permit application. Storm water system incorporated wet vaults and detention vaults. Submittal did not include a level 3 downstream analysis. There were 30 storm drainage review comments. Review was completed and returned to building department on October 18, 1991. o October 10, 1991, site plan expires, extended through building permit application. o April 2, 1992, resubmittal was made on the building permit application. After numerous discussions with City staff, applicant revised approach to include an infiltration system. An insufficient geotechnical report was submitted. This report did not adequately characterize permeability of soil at true point of discharge (test was taken 4-feet below the surface, whereas the vaults will discharge 25-feet and 55-feet below the surface respectively). There were 31 storm drainage review comments. The review was completed and returned to the building department on May 4, 1992. o June 10, 1992, full geotechnical report from Golder submitted to plan review (not part of formal building permit resubmittal). There were irregularities in the report. City review of the report was complete by June 19, 1992, and review comments communicated to Dodds. October 6, 1992 Page 3 Dodds sent a letter to the City dated June 24, 1992 stating that the infiltration tests have provided information that indicates the soils will not permit design of a storm water system using infiltration as the sole design option for detention and release of all runoff from the project. It was necessary to detain water on the site and release at "the predeveloped rate", in Dodds' words. This letter also proposed a "split the difference" design CN number between Type "A" and Type "C" soils, and proposes to analyze only a 30 acre portion of the system drainage basin rather than the whole 580 acre basin so as to establish downstream system capacity, in accordance with the Garth Cray memo. The letter also proposes upsizing of some downstream existing pipe from 8-inch to 12-inch diameter. Dodds met with the City on June 19, 1992 to discuss these issues. The City sent out a response letter dated July 7, 1992 stating in essence that the entire drainage basin would have to be analyzed to adequately characterize downstream pipe capacity in order to determine capacity available for this project, per the Garth Cray memo. The letter rejected the "split the difference" approach to arriving at a CN number for use in the calculations, and also proposed that Dodds, at his option, would be allowed to limit peak rate runoff from the 2, 10, and 100 year storm events to predeveloped levels instead of performing the extensive modeling and calculations required to determine available downstream capacity per the Garth Cray memo. This was offered as a relief to the applicant, and was optional, not mandatory. Essentially, this option falls back to the standards established for the project in the ADDENDUM TO THE ERC REPORT. o August 7, 1992, Dodds submits for City review a conceptual drainage plan which proposed not detaining site post developed runoff to the predeveloped peak rate, but limiting it to a more liberal discharge rate, and making up for the difference by installing a detention vault within the City system to provide detention for previously developed upstream properties. After full review, the City sent a letter to Dodds dated September 10, 1992 not supporting this proposal for several reasons, including non-compliance with present and previous storm water code. This letter also included information that the building permit application expires on September 17, 1992. o September 17, 1992, applicant resubmits building permit drawings. Note that this is the first formal resubmittal of the building permit drawings since April 2, 1992, even though there were 75 other review comments on that previous submittal other than storm water comments. o November 3, 1992, hearing set in front of the Hearing Examiner to appeal administrative determinations to not approve the proposed storm water detention system and to allow the building permit application to lapse.

Based upon this information, it will now be necessary to detain storm water on-site and release at the pre-development rate. As a result of our meeting with you last Friday afternoon, we have determined the existing pre-development outflows from the site and have reviewed the downstream analysis we previously submitted to the city. A copy of the downstream analysis is enclosed with this letter for your information and review. Existing Outflows Everett (Type "A") soils, described as medium to coarse sands and gravels, were originally used to calculate the pre-development outflow from the site. As a result of Golder's studies, we now know there are significant portions of the site which qualify as Alderwood or Kitsap soils (Type "C", fine compact sands, silts and till). At our meeting with you last Friday, you agreed that it would be reasonable for us to change the soil type assumptions used to calculate the existing outflows. It seems reasonable to calculate the existing outflows by averaging between Type "A" and Type "C" soils, which means using Type "B" soils to compute the CN values. Because the values for Type "B" soils are still low compared to those for Type "C" soils, they are conservative while still being reasonable for design purposes. The calculations show the following for the 15 acre site: (CN=62) (CN=76.3) (CN=84) Event Type A Type B Type C 2-yr 0.15 cfs 0.50 cfs 1.45 cfs 10 0.44 1.73 3.30 25 0.65 2.63 4.44 As you can see, using Type "B" soils for CN value determination yields a 25-year event outflow from the Lexington Ridge site of approximately 2.63 cfs. 4205 148TH AVE.

As we discussed last Friday afternoon, the existing storm drainage outflow from the site is currently accommodated by the existing downstream system. Nevertheless, the King County Surface Water Manual requires that downstream systems be described and problems disclosed for at least 1/4 mile downstream or to a point where the site becomes less than 15% of the contributing drainage basin. The intersection of Bronson and Third is only a hair less than 1/4 mile from the site, as measured along the drainage course. Crossing the line from Bronson to Third instantaneously expands the basin from approximately 30 acres to a combined area of 580 acres. The Lexington Ridge site is only approximately 2 6% of the total combined drainage basin and the site's flow contribution is of the same magnitude, i.e. something less than 5%. For this reason, we believe it is reasonable to limit the enclosed downstream analysis to the smaller 30 acre drainage basin above the intersection of Bronson and Third. Because we intend to provide on-site detention and release at the pre-development rate and will not be increasing the rate of outflow from the site, the project is not anticipated to have a measurable impact on the downstream system below the intersection at Bronson and Third. Furthermore, although there may be some inadequacies in that downstream system, you have advised us that there have not been any reported system failures during 25-year and greater storm events. Proposed Design Parameters Based upon the existing outflows from the site and the enclosed downstream analysis, we propose to establish a lower bound design for the 2-year flow at 0.50 cfs and create corresponding detention, and an upper bound 25-year allowable outflow of 2.63 cfs, with detention to match that figure. We would also propose that Lexington Ridge upgrade one, perhaps two, 8-inch diameter pipe runs near the intersection of Bronson and Third to 12-inch lines. The remainder of the Bronson system is 12-inch diameter pipe with sufficient HW/D to maintain inlet control and flows in excess of that needed to convey the 25-year event. We have completed rough calculations for detention using these criteria and find the 2-vault system we have proposed will be adequate with a slight length enlargement to the lower vault. We would appreciate your review and consideration of the enclosed analysis and the above explanation. If this approach and criteria are acceptable, we will proceed immediately to make the changes to the plans. We will be pleased to meet with you and other city representatives at your earliest convenience to discuss these criteria. I look forward to hearing from you. / 'pe.+e.o`J�,— PQ,.C - , _- ra.vns�r'Ps Ve ly yours, ./ "a/6 r� ODD ENGINE XS, INC. 2 y, /a yy-) ,sVVP lob y, sfiar•� B' dds, P.E., DDDDS ENGINEERS, INC.
