REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION ,
APPLICANT: Orvar N. J. Litsjo FILE NO. SA-174-78
SP-175-78
LOCATION: Approximately 756 feet north of South 180th Street and east
of the West Valley Road.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Applicant seeks site approval to construct a sales and service
facility in an M-P, Manufacturing Park, zone and approval of a
special permit for bulk storage on the same site.
SUMMARY OF ACTION: Planning Department recommendation: Approval with conditions.
Hearing Examiner Decision: Approval with conditions.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT The Planning Department staff report was received by the
REPORT: Examiner on June 1, 1978.
PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Planning Department report, examining
available information on file with the application, and
field checking the property and surrounding area, the Examiner
conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows:
The hearing was opened on June 6, 1978 at 9:05 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the Renton
Municipal Building.
Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner.
It was reported that the Hearing Examiner and the applicant had received and reviewed the
Planning Department report, and the report was entered into the record as Exhibit #1.
Micrael Smith, Planning Department, reviewed Exhibit #1, and entered the following
additional exhibits into the record:
Exhibit #2: File No. SP-147-78, Orvar N. J. Litsjo;
approved 5-8-78; application for fill & grade;
by reference)
Exhibit #3: Site Plan with staff comments
Exhibit #4: Perspective Drawing with staff comments
Exhibit #5: Building Elevations with staff comments
2 pages)
Exhibit #6: Floor Plans
Exhibit #7: Survey Map
Exhibit #8: Proposed Fill Plan
Exhibit #9: Proposed Landscape Plan with staff comments
Mr. Smith noted that staff comments added to exhibits were not significant and related to
proposed conceptual landscaping. He advised that submittal of a detailed landscape plan
to the Planning Department would be required for final approval.
The Examiner inquired if the Planning Department report contained recommendations regarding
proposed access provisions. Mr. Smith advised that access proposals as well as proposed
left turn lanes on the West Valley Road would be subject to approval of the Traffic
Engineering Division during building permit application review. The Examiner stated that
inclusion of the access provisions would therefore not be necessary for review at this
time.
The Examiner asked the applicant if he concurred in Exhibit #1. Responding was:

SP-175-78
Mr. Litsjo indicated his concurrence in the report with the exception of recommendations
contained in Section 0.8 relating to maximum amount of equipment to be contained at one
time in the proposed display area. He noted that because of the variety in sizes of
equipment only one piece of large equipment or approximately three smaller-sized pieces
sold and serviced by the facility could be contained in the area, and he requested that
the maximum number be deleted from the recommendation to allow flexibility for the display
operation, although he noted that the equipment would be displayed in a neat and orderly
fashion.
The Examiner asked for testimony in support or opposition to the request. There was no
response. The Examiner then asked Mr. Smith for comments. Mr. Smith indicated that during
previous discussions with the applicant, new information regarding possible expansion of
the facility had been introduced, although it would not affect the initial phase of
development. Mr. Litsjo clarified the intent of the company to modify the operation by
incorporation of sales and service of additional smaller equipment to the existing proposal.
He advised that the revision would require shifting the proposed building 50 feet to the
south to allow future expansion of the proposed parts department to the north. He advised
that the site plan and proposed building design would remain as submitted, and the revisions
would not require provision of additional service or bulk storage areas. He inquired if
the proposed modification would affect the Examiner's decision on the application. The
Examiner asked Mr. Smith if additional review of the revision would be necessary prior
to a final decision on the matter. Mr. Smith stated that since the adjustments would not
affect the site plan or bulk storage provisions, review of the proposal could be
accomplished during application for building permit. He advised the applicant that
additional floor area would create a need for additional parking requirements, but he did
not foresee significant problems resulting from the proposed adjustment.
Responding to the Examiner's inquiry regarding the applicant's request for deletion of
maximum amount of display equipment, Mr. Smith indicated Planning Department concurrence
if proposed landscaping were provided in the display area and the equipment displayed in
a neat and orderly fashion. The Examiner inquired if final approval had been received
for storm drainage plans. Mr. Smith deferred the question to the applicant who indicated
that although plans had been submitted, response from the Public Works Department had not
yet been received. Mr. Smith referred to Section P.6 of Exhibit #1 which requires final
Public Works Department approval of detailed drainage plans.
The Examiner entered the following additional exhibits into the record:
Exhibit #10: Site Plan as submitted
Exhibit #11: Perspective Drawing as submitted
Exhibit #12: Building Elevations as submitted
Exhibit #13: Landscape Plan as submitted
Mr. Smith re rted receipt of a memorandum from the applicant which referred to the
proposed 50- oot shift of the structure on the site. The letter, addressed to Mr. Smith
from the app icant, dated June 6, 1978, was labeled Exhibit #14 by the Examiner.
The Examiner asked Mr. Smith for a final departmental recommendation. Mr. Smith
recommended doption of the preliminary report as submitted with previously discussed
revision to ection P.2 relating to maximum amount of equipment contained in the proposed
display area and recommended it to be revised to require display of equipment in a neat
and orderly fashion with provision of landscaping as noted on Exhibit #9. He also
indicated co currence in the applicant's request contained in Exhibit #14 and recommended
final approv 1 of the proposal during building permit review process.
The Examiner requested further comments. Since there were none, the hearing on File No.
SA-174-78 an SP-175-78 was closed by the Examiner at 9:50 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the
Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
1. The request is for approval of a site plan and special permit for bulk storage of a
heavy equipment sales and service facility.
2. The Planning Department report accurately sets forth the issues, applicable policies
and provisions, findings of fact, and departmental recommendations in this matter, and
is hereby attached as Exhibit #1 and incorporated in this report by reference as set
forth in full therein.
SA-174-78 Page Three
SP-175-78
3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental
Policy Act of 1971, as amended by R.C.W. 43.21.C. , a Declaration of Non-Significance
has been issued for the subject proposal by Gordon Y. Ericksen, responsible official.
4. Plans for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the
impact of this development.
5. There was no opposition to the proposal expressed.
6. All existing utilities are available and in close proximity.
7. The proposal is compatible with the required setbacks, lot coverage and height
requirements of Section 4-730 (M-P) of Title IV, Ordinance No. 1628, Code of General
Ordinances.
8. The site plan (Exhibit #3) generally conforms to the requirements of the Bulk Storage
regulations of Section 4-734 of Title IV, Ordinance No. 1628, Code of General Ordinances,
with modifications noted on the landscape plan, Exhibit #9. One exception apparently
is the screening fence required by Section 4-734. (E) .2. Details of the fence featured
in the site plan were lacking, but per this section the Planning Department is to
approve the landscape plan which would reasonably include the required fence design.
Another exception is the small outdoor display area at the southwest corner of the
building. This area does not strictly conform to the landscaping and fencing provisions
of Section 4-734. (E) .2. Landscaping screening and a screening fence is not proposed
around this display area. The applicant indicated the equipment to be displayed
wculd be confined to this area and kept in a neat and orderly manner.
9. Per Exhibit #9 (Landscape Plan) , 2% of the site will be provided for wildlife habitat
per Resolution No. 1923. Existing vegetation is to be retained on the easterly and
southeasterly portions of the site.
10. According to testimony and Exhibit #14, the proposed main building and southerly portion
of the site plan will be shifted about 50 feet to the south. This building will also
be slightly revised in configuration. Staff felt that this revision was minor and
could be reviewed by staff during the building permit process.
11. Participation in the West Valley Road (SR-181) L.I.D. for construction of a left turn
lane is necessary to accomplish the proposed access to the site.
12. Off-site improvements to the West Valley Road (SR-181) have been required by the
Public Works Department (Exhibit #1) .
13. As submitted, the proposal requires eight additional parking spaces per Section 4-2208
Parking and Loading Ordinance) . The revised site plan (per Exhibit #14) may require
even more parking. Staff indicated that the added parking can be accommodated on the
s:,te.
14. The Public Works Department has not given final approval to the storm drainage and
oil/water separation plan per Ordinance No. 3174.
15. A Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit application has been filed with
t:he Planning Department. The site lies in a wetland area as defined by Chapter 90.58
R.C.W. , Chapter 173-WAC and the Shoreline Master Program, Section 3.01.
16. A State Flood Zone Control Permit is required for the proposal.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposal conforms to the Comprehensive Plan and the Shoreline Management Master
Program.
2. Exhibit #13 (Landscape Plan) should be revised per staff comments (Exhibit #9)
including the required screening fence per approval of the Planning Department per
Section 4-734. (E) .2.
3. The outdoor display area at the southwest corner of the main building should be
limited to the total area shown on the Site Plan (Exhibit #3) . Landscaping
requirements per Section 4-734. (E) .2 can be accomplished adequately by a combination
of landscaping at the westerly and southerly perimeters of the site and adjacent to
the display area. Per Section 4-734. (E) .2 the Planning Department should review and
approve this landscaping.
4. Shifting the building location 50 feet to the south and revising its configuration
r
SA-174-78 Page Four
SP-175-78
is a minor alteration to the proposal. The Planning Department can review and approve
these modifications for conformance with the Examiner's findings, conclusions and
decision.
5. The Public Works Department should receive from the applicant sufficient documentation
of participation in the West Valley Road (SR-181) L.I.D. for construction of the left
turn lane.
6. The P1 ning Department should review with the applicant the location of the required
additio al parking spaces per Section 4-2208. These spaces must be incorporated in
the rev sed site plan.
7. The bui ding design represents a departure from the architecture existing in the area,
however, the structures are compatible with existing development. The integration
of berms against the building walls will soften the appearance of the building.
8. The Planning Department has made the applicant sufficiently aware of additional
requirements that may result from future changes to the proposal and/or subdivision
of the total property.
DECISION:
Based upon the record, testimony, findings and conclusions, it is the Examiner's decision
to approve the Site Plan (Exhibit #3) and Special Permit for bulk storage subject to:
1. Submitt*l of a revised site plan reflecting the relocation and alteration of the main
buildin and additional parking spaces for approval by the Planning Department for
confor nce with this decision, findings and conclusions.
2. Submitt 1 of a revised Landscape Plan per Exhibit #9 to include sufficient details
of the creening fence and landscape screening of the outdoor display area for
approva of the Planning Department per Section 4-734. (E) .2.
3. The out oor display area being kept in a neat and orderly appearance and restricted
to the otal area shown on Exhibit #3.
4. Submittal of appropriate documentation of participation in the L.I.D. for left turn
improvements in the West Valley Road (SR-181) per requirements and approval of the
Public Works Department.
5. Approval] of the Shoreline Management Substantial Development and State Flood Zone

E. PHYSICAL BACKGROUND:
1 . Topography: The site is generally level with a very slight decreasing slope
toward the eastern boundary.
2. Soils: Puyallup fine sandy loam (Py). Permeability is moderately rapid, runoff
is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight. This soil is used for row crops and
pasture and for urban development.
3. Vegetation: Short, thick grass is the dominant ground cover with some shrubs
and a few deciduous trees.
4. Wildlife: Existing vegetation on the site provides some habitat for birds and
small mammals.
5. Water: There is some surface water existing on the site.
6. Land Use: The site itself is basically undeveloped. To the east is located the
P-1 Drainage Channel and to the south are a few single family residences. To the
west is the West Valley Road and the Green River. North of the subject site a new
building is under construction.
F. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS:
The area is presently in a slow transition from undeveloped pasture land and filled
land to commercial and manufacturing park uses.
3. PUBLIC SERVICES:
1 . Water and Sewer: There is an existing 12 inch water main situated along the Puget
Sound Electric right-of-way, along the easterly boundary of the subject site. An
existing 8 inch sewer main is located along the same right-of-way. Storm sewer
lines are not available; however, there is a drainage ditch east of the subject site.
2. Fire Protection: Provided by the Renton Fire Department as per Ordinance requirements.
3. Transit: Metro Transit Route Number 155 operates along Southwest 43rd Street
within 1/4 mile to the south.
4. Schools: Not applicable.
5. Parks: Not applicable.
i. APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE ZONING CODE:
1 . Section 4-730, M-P, Manufacturing Park District.
2. Section 4-734,, Bulk Storage Facilities.
APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OR OTHER OFFICIAL CITY DOCUMENT:
1 . Green River Comprehensive Plan, June 1976, Objectives, pages 5 through 8.
2. Land Use Report, 1965, Objectives, pages 17 and 18.
I. IMPACT ON NATURAL SYSTEMS:
Development of the subject site will disturb soil and vegetation, increase water runoff,
and cause a rise in traffic and noise levels in the area. However, through good develop-
ment procedures and suitable landscaping and screening, many of these impacts will be
minimized.
SOCIAL IMPACTS:
Not applicable.

L. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT/THRESHOLD DETERMINATION:
Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental
Policy Act of 1971 , as amended, RCW 43-21C, a declaration of non-significance has
been issued for the subject proposal . This negative declaration is further based on
proper development procedures per City ordinances and the provision of suitable
landscape areas to help reduce the resulting loss in vegetation by site development;
and compatibility with the manufacturing park ordinance, Valley Comprehensive Plan,
and Resolution Number 1923.
M. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A vicinity map and a site map are attached.
N. AGENCIES/DEPARTMENTS CONTACTED:
1 . City of Renton Building Division.
2. City of Renton Engineering Division.
3. City of Renton Traffic Engineering Division.
4. City of Renton Utilities Division.
5. City of Renton Fire Department.
1. PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
1 . The proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and M-P, Manufacturing
Park zone.
2. The proposed site plan conforms to the setback and landscaping requirements of the
M-P zone.
3. The proposed site plan is also consistent with the requirements of the bulk storage
ordinance (two large areas behind the proposed building are proposed for outdoor
storage). This includes setbacks, screening, and landscaping. However, the fence
has not been specifically defined on the site plans. The portion of the fence
around the storage area must be a screening fence of a height consistent with
bulk storage requirements. The landscape strip adjacent to the fence and storage
area should have sufficient evergreen shrubs for screening, aesthetic and wildlife
habitat purposes (Section 4-734.E, Green River Valley Comprehensive Plan Objectives
pages 7 and 8, Resolution 1923). See comments on landscape plans.
4. The proposed development is consistent with the 2% site landscape requirement of
the City's agreement with Soil Conservation Service for the Valley Drainage Project
Resolution 1923) although additional evergreen shrubs suitable for screening and
providing wildlife food and/or habitat should be added to certain landscape areas.
See comments on landscape plans. Existing vegetation to remain around storage area
must be sufficient to provide screening, buffering, and wildlife habitat. If ever
removed, it must be replaced per bulk storage ordinance req.airements.
5. Two points of access along West Valley Road (SR 181 ) are indicated on the site plan.
These appear acceptable. The subject site must be included in the LID for left
turn lane along West Valley Road, which is being processed.
6. The southerly access road may be required at some future date to be dedicated and
improved as a public street if the easterly portion of the site is subdivided
from the portion fronting West Valley Road.
7. The Public Works Department has indicated that off-site improvements will be required
along West Valley Road as part of site development. Unimproved portions of the
right-of-way shall be included in the landscape plan.

8. Only two pieces of equipment should be permitted in the designated display area
at any one time. All other storage must be in designated areas behind the building,
screening fence, and landscaping areas, consistent with the M-P zone concept, bulk
storage ordinance, and Valley Comprehensive Plan objectives.
9. The proposed plan is consistent with the provision of the parking and loading ordi-
nance, except that an additional 8 parking spaces will be necessary to correspond
with the proposed use of the accessory building near the north property line.
10. Suitable utilities are available to the subject site. Final design should be
approved by the Utilities Division and Fire Department. Standard utilities
charges are required (see Utilities Division comments) .
11 . Suitable storm water retention and oil/water separation facilities will be required
as part of site development. Detailed plans must be approved by the Public Works
Department.
12. A Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit Application has been submitted
to the Planning Department and is presently being processed.
13. A State Flood Zone Control Permit will be required for site development.
P. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

1 . Final Planning Department approval of detailed landscape and screening plans for
the entire site development including comments as noted on plans submitted as
exhibits at public hearing.
2. Only two pieces of equipment shall be permitted in the display area as stipulated in
item 8 above.
3. A left turn lane shall be provided on West Valley Road. This can be accomplished
in cooperation with the proposed LID for such purposes in the area.

noted on the landscape plan, and shall be of sufficient quantity and size to provide
suitable screening to meet bulk storage and Valley Comprehensive Plan standards.
Supplemental material may be necessary subject to review by the Planning Department.
If any such vegetation is removed, it shall be replaced per bulk storage standards
and Planning Department approval .
5. Final Public Works Department and Fire Department approval of utility plans and
designs.
6. Final Public Works Department approval of detailed drainage plans with provision of
suitable storm water retention and oil/water separation facilities which will not
impact adjacent properties.
7. Approval of a Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit.
8. Approval of a State Flood Zone Control Permit.

E. PHYSICAL BACKGROUND:
1 . Topography: The site is generally level with a very slight decreasing slope
toward the eastern boundary.
2. Soils: Puyallup fine sandy loam (Py). Permeability is moderately rapid, runoff
is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight. This soil is used for row crops and
pasture and for urban development.
3. Vegetation: Short, thick grass is the dominant ground cover with some shrubs
and a few deciduous trees.
4. Wildlife: Existing vegetation on the site provides some habitat for birds and
small mammals.
5. Water: There is some surface water existing on the site.
6. Land Use: The site itself is basically undeveloped. To the east is located the
P-1 Drainage Channel and to the south are a few single family residences. To the
west is the West Valley Road and the Green River. North of the subject site a new
building is under construction.
F. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS:
The area is presently in a slow transition from undeveloped pasture land and filled
land to commercial and manufacturing park uses.
a. PUBLIC SERVICES:
1 . Water and Sewer: There is an existing 12 inch water main situated along the Puget
Sound Electric right-of-way, along the easterly boundary of the subject site. An
existing 8 inch sewer main is located along the same right-of-way. Storm sewer
lines are not available; however, there is a drainage ditch east of the subject site.
2. Fire Protection: Provided by the Renton Fire Department as per Ordinance requirements.
3. Transit: Metro Transit Route Number 155 operates along Southwest 43rd Street
within 1/4 mile to the south.
4. Schools: Not applicable.
5. Parks: Not applicable.
APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE ZONING CODE:
1 . Section 4-730, M-P, Manufacturing Park District.
2. Section 4-734,, Bulk Storage Facilities.
APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OR OTHER OFFICIAL CITY DOCUMENT:
1 . Green River Comprehensive Plan, June 1976, Objectives, pages 5 through 8.
2. Land Use Report, 1965, Objectives, pages 17 and 18.
I. IMPACT ON NATURAL SYSTEMS:
Development of the subject site will disturb soil and vegetation, increase water runoff,
and cause a rise in traffic and noise levels in the area. However, through good develop-
ment procedures and suitable landscaping and screening, many of these impacts will be
minimized.
SOCIAL IMPACTS:
Not applicable.

L. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT/THRESHOLD DETERMINATION:
Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental
Policy Act of 1971 , as amended, RCW 43-21C, a declaration of non-significance has
been issued for the subject proposal . This negative declaration is further based on
proper development procedures per City ordinances and the provision of suitable
landscape areas to help reduce the resulting loss in vegetation by site development;
and compatibility with the manufacturing park ordinance, Valley Comprehensive Plan,
and Resolution Number 1923.
M. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A vicinity map and a site map are attached.
N. AGENCIES/DEPARTMENTS CONTACTED:
1 . City of Renton Building Division.
2. City of Renton Engineering Division.
3. City of Renton Traffic Engineering Division.
4. City of Renton Utilities Division.
5. City of Renton Fire Department.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
1 . The proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and M-P, Manufacturing
Park zone.
2. The proposed site plan conforms to the setback and landscaping requirements of the
M-P zone.
3. The proposed site plan is also consistent with the requirements of the bulk storage
ordinance (two large areas behind the proposed building are proposed for outdoor
storage). This includes setbacks, screening, and landscaping. However, the fence
has not been specifically defined on the site plans. The portion of the fence
around the storage area must be a screening fence of a height consistent with
bulk storage requirements. The landscape strip adjacent to the fence and storage
area should have sufficient evergreen shrubs for screening, aesthetic and wildlife
habitat purposes (Section 4-734. E, Green River Valley Comprehensive Plan Objectives
pages 7 and 8, Resolution 1923). See comments on landscape plans.
4. The proposed development is consistent with the 2% site landscape requirement of
the City' s agreement with Soil Conservation Service for the Valley Drainage Project
Resolution 1923) although additional evergreen shrubs suitable for screening and
providing wildlife food and/or habitat should be added to certain landscape areas.
See comments on landscape plans. Existing vegetation to remain around storage area
must be sufficient to provide screening, buffering, and wildlife habitat. If ever
removed, it must be replaced per bulk storage ordinance requirements.
5. Two points of access along West Valley Road (SR 181 ) are indicated on the site plan.
These appear acceptable. The subject site must be included in the LID for left
turn lane along West Valley Road, which is being processed.
6. The southerly access road may be required at some future date to be dedicated and
improved as a public street if the easterly portion of the site is subdivided
from the portion fronting West Valley Road.
7. The Public Works Department has indicated that off-site improvements will be required
along West Valley Road as part of site development. Unimproved portions of the
right-of-way shall be included in the landscape plan.

8. Only two pieces of equipment should be permitted in the designated display area
at any one time. All other storage must be in designated areas behind the building,
screening fence, and landscaping areas, consistent with the M-P zone concept, bulk
storage ordinance, and Valley Comprehensive Plan objectives.
9. The proposed plan is consistent with the provision of the parking and loading ordi-
nance, except that an additional 8 parking spaces will be necessary to correspond
with the proposed use of the accessory building near the north property line.
10. Suitable utilities are available to the subject site. Final design should be
approved by the Utilities Division and Fire Department. Standard utilities
charges are required (see Utilities Division comments).
11 . Suitable storm water retention and oil/water separation facilities will be required
as part of site development. Detailed plans must be approved by the Public Works
Department.
12. A Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit Application has been submitted
to the Planning Department and is presently being processed.
13. A State Flood Zone Control Permit will be required for site development.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend approval of site plan and special permit for bulk storage subject to:
1 . Final Planning Department approval of detailed landscape and screening plans for
the entire site development including comments as noted on plans submitted as
exhibits at public hearing.
2. Only two pieces of equipment shall be permitted in the display area as stipulated in
item 8 above.
3. A left turn lane shall be provided on West Valley Road. This can be accomplished
in cooperation with the proposed LID for such purposes in the area.
4. Existing vegetation in the easterly portion of the site shall be preserved as
noted on the landscape plan, and shall be of sufficient quantity and size to provide
suitable screening to meet bulk storage and Valley Comprehensive Plan standards.
Supplemental material may be necessary subject to review by the Planning Department.
If any such vegetation is removed, it shall be replaced per bulk storage standards
and Planning Department approval .
5. Final Public Works Department and Fire Department approval of utility plans and
designs.
6. Final Public Works Department approval of detailed drainage plans with provision of
suitable storm water retention and oil/water separation facilities which will not
impact adjacent properties.
7. Approval of a Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit.
8. Approval of a State Flood Zone Control Permit.
9. Any further development and/or sale of the undeveloped portions of the site shall
be subject to M-P zone, Subdivision Ordinance, and other applicable City regulations.

COMMENTS :
Introduction The State Environmental Policy Act of 1971 , Chapter 43.21C, RCW, requires
all state and local governmental agencies to consider environmental values both for their
own actions and when licensing private proposals . The Act also requires that an EIS be
prepared for all major actions significantly affecting the quality of the environment.
The purpose of this checklist is to help the agencies involved determine whether or not a
proposal is such a major action.
Please answer the following questions as completely as you can with the information
presently available to you. Where explanations of your answers are required, or where
you believe an explanation would be helpful to government decision makers , include your
explanation in the space provided, or use additional pages if necessary. You should
include references to any reports or studies of which you are aware and which are rele-
vant to the answers you provide. Complete answers to these questions now will help all
agencies involved with your proposal to undertake the required environmental review with-
out unnecessary delay.
The following questions apply to your total proposal , not just to the license for which
you are currently applying or the proposal for which approval is sought. Your answers
should include the impacts which will be caused by your proposal when it is completed,
even though completion may not occur until sometime in the future. This will allow all
of the agencies which will be involved to complete their environmental review now, with-
out duplicating paperwork in the future.
NOTE : This is a standard form being used by all state and local agencies in the State
of Washington for various types of proposals . Many of the questions may not apply to
your proposal . If a question does not apply, just answer it "no" and continue on to the
next question.

facility in an M-P, Manufacturing Park, zone and approval of a
special permit for bulk storage on the same site.
SUNZARY OF ACTION: Planning Department recommendation: Approval with conditions.
Hearing Examiner Decision: Approval with conditions.
PLAr:NING DEPARTMENT The Planning Department staff report was received by the
REPORT: Examiner on June 1, 1978.
PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Planning Department report, examining
available information on file with the application, and
field checking the property and surrounding area, the Examiner
conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows:
The hearing was opened on June 6, 1978 at 9:05 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the Renton
MunLcipal Building.
Parities wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner.
It was reported that the Hearing Examiner and the applicant had received and reviewed the
Planning Department report, and the report was entered into the record as Exhibit #1.
Michael Smith, Planning Department, reviewed Exhibit #1, and entered the following
add_tional exhibits into the record:
Exhibit #2: File No. SP-147-78, Orvar N. J. Litsjo;
approved 5-8-78; application for fill & grade;

Exhibit #5: Building Elevations with staff comments
2 pages)
Exhibit #6: Floor Plans
Exhibit #7: Survey Map
Exhibit #8: Proposed Fill Plan
Exhibit #9: Proposed Landscape Plan with staff comments
Mr. Smith noted that staff comments added to exhibits were not significant and related to
proposed conceptual landscaping. He advised that submittal of a detailed landscape plan
to the Planning Department would be required for final approval.
The Examiner inquired if the Planning Department report contained recommendations regarding
proposed access provisions. Mr. Smith advised that access proposals as well as proposed
left turn lanes on the West Valley Road would be subject to approval of the Traffic
Engineering Division during building permit application review. The Examiner stated that
inclusion of the access provisions would therefore not be necessary for review at this
time.
The Examiner asked the applicant if he concurred in Exhibit #1. Responding was:

contained in Section 0.8 relating to maximum amount of equipment to be contained at one
time in the proposed display area. He noted that because of the variety in sizes of
equipment only one piece of large equipment or approximately three smaller-sized pieces
sold and se viced by the facility could be contained in the area, and he requested that
the maximum umber be deleted from the recommendation to allow flexibility for the display
operation, though he noted that the equipment would be displayed in a neat and orderly
fashion.
The Examiner asked for testimony in support or opposition to the request. There was no
response. The Examiner then asked Mr. Smith for comments. Mr. Smith indicated that during
previous discussions with the applicant, new information regarding possible expansion of
the facility had been introduced, although it would not affect the initial phase of
development. Mr. Litsjo clarified the intent of the company to modify the operation by
incorporation of sales and service of additional smaller equipment to the existing proposal.
He advised that the revision would require shifting the proposed building 50 feet to the
south to allow future expansion of the proposed parts department to the north. He advised
that the site plan and proposed building design would remain as submitted, and the revisions
would not require provision of additional service or bulk storage areas. He inquired if
the proposed modification would affect the Examiner's decision on the application. The
Examiner asked Mr. Smith if additional review of the revision would be necessary prior
to a final decision on the matter. Mr. Smith stated that since the adjustments would not
affect the site plan or bulk storage provisions, review of the proposal could be
accomplished during application for building permit. He advised the applicant that
additional f oor area would create a need for additional parking requirements, but he did
not foresee • ignificant problems resulting from the proposed adjustment.
Responding t• the Examiner's inquiry regarding the applicant's request for deletion of
maximum amo t of display equipment, Mr. Smith indicated Planning Department concurrence
if proposed andscaping were provided in the display area and the equipment displayed in
a neat and orderly fashion. The Examiner inquired if final approval had been received
for storm dr-inage plans. Mr. Smith deferred the question to the applicant who indicated
that althoug plans had been submitted, response from the Public Works Department had not
yet been received. Mr. Smith referred to Section P.6 of Exhibit #1 which requires final
Public Works Department approval of detailed drainage plans.
The Examiner entered the following additional exhibits into the record:
Exhibit #10: Site Plan as submitted
Exhibit #11: Perspective Drawing as submitted
Exhibit #12: Building Elevations as submitted
Exhibit #13: Landscape Plan as submitted
Mr. Smith reported receipt of a memorandum from the applicant which referred to the
proposed 50-foot shift of the structure on the site. The letter, addressed to Mr. Smith
from the applicant, dated June 6, 1978, was labeled Exhibit #14 by the Examiner.
The Examiner asked Mr. Smith for a final departmental recommendation. Mr. Smith
recommended adoption of the preliminary report as submitted with previously discussed
revision to S ction P.2 relating to maximum amount of equipment contained in the proposed
display area end recommended it to be revised to require display of equipment in a neat
and orderly fashion with provision of landscaping as noted on Exhibit #9. He also
indicated conurrence in the applicant's request contained in Exhibit #14 and recommended
final approval of the proposal during building permit review process.
The Examiner requested further comments. Since there were none, the hearing on File No.
SA-174-78 and SP-175-78 was closed by the Examiner at 9:50 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the
Examiner now Makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
1. The request is for approval of a site plan and special permit for bulk storage of a
heavy equipment sales and service facility.
2. The Planning Department report accurately sets forth the issues, applicable policies
and provisions, findings of fact, and departmental recommendations in this matter, and
is hereby 'attached as Exhibit #1 and incorporated in this report by reference as set
forth in full therein.
SA-174-/8 Page Three
SP-175-78
3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental
Policy Act of 1971, as amended by R.C.W. 43.21.C. , a Declaration of Non-Significance
has been issued for the subject proposal by Gordon Y. Ericksen, responsible official.
4. Plans for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the
impact of this development.
5. There was no opposition to the proposal expressed.
6. All existing utilities are available and in close proximity.
7. The proposal is compatible with the required setbacks, lot coverage and height
requirements of Section 4-730 (M-P) of Title IV, Ordinance No. 1628, Code of General
Ordinances.
8. The site plan (Exhibit #3) generally conforms to the requirements of the Bulk Storage
regulations of Section 4-734 of Title IV, Ordinance No. 1628, Code of General Ordinances,
with modifications noted on the landscape plan, Exhibit #9. One exception apparently
is the screening fence required by Section 4-734. (E) .2. Details of the fence featured
in the site plan were lacking, but per this section the Planning Department is to
approve the landscape plan which would reasonably include the required fence design.
Another exception is the small outdoor display area at the southwest corner of the
building. This area does not strictly conform to the landscaping and fencing provisions
of Section 4-734. (E) .2. Landscaping screening and a screening fence is not proposed
a:-ound this display area. The applicant indicated the equipment to be displayed
would be confined to this area and kept in a neat and orderly manner.
9. Per Exhibit #9 (Landscape Plan) , 2% of the site will be provided for wildlife habitat
per Resolution No. 1923. Existing vegetation is to be retained on the easterly and
southeasterly portions of the site.
10. According to testimony and Exhibit #14, the proposed main building and southerly portion
of the site plan will be shifted about 50 feet to the south. This building will also
be slightly revised in configuration. Staff felt that this revision was minor and
could be reviewed by staff during the building permit process.
11. Participation in the West Valley Road (SR-181) L.I.D. for construction of a left turn
lane is necessary to accomplish the proposed access to the site.
12. Off-site improvements to the West Valley Road (SR-181) have been required by the
Public Works Department (Exhibit #1) .
13. As submitted, the proposal requires eight additional parking spaces per Section 4-2208
Parking and Loading Ordinance) . The revised site plan (per Exhibit #14) may require
even more parking. Staff indicated that the added parking can be accommodated on the
site.
14. The Public Works Department has not given final approval to the storm drainage and
oil/water separation plan per Ordinance No. 3174.
15. A Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit application has been filed with
the Planning Department. The site lies in a wetland area as defined by Chapter 90.58
R.C.W. , Chapter 173-WAC and the Shoreline Master Program, Section 3.01.
16. A State Flood Zone Control Permit is required for the proposal.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposal conforms to the Comprehensive Plan and the Shoreline Management Master
Program.
2. Exhibit #13 (Landscape Plan) should be revised per staff comments (Exhibit #9)
including the required screening fence per approval of the Planning Department per
Section 4-734. (E) .2.
3. The outdoor display area at the southwest corner of the main building should be
limited to the total area shown on the Site Plan (Exhibit #3) . Landscaping
requirements per Section 4-734. (E) .2 can be accomplished adequately by a combination
of landscaping at the westerly and southerly perimeters of the site and adjacent to
the display area. Per Section 4-734. (E) .2 the Planning Department should review and
approve this landscaping.
4. Shifting the building location 50 feet to the south and revising its configuration
SA-174-78 Page Four
SP-175-78
is a minor alteration to the proposal. The Planning Department can review and approve
these modifications for conformance with the Examiner's findings, conclusions and
decision.
5. The Public Works Department should receive from the applicant sufficient documentation
of parti ipation in the West Valley Road (SR-181) L.I.D. for construction of the left
turn lanS.
6. The Planning Department should review with the applicant the location of the required
additional parking spaces per Section 4-2208. These spaces must be incorporated in
the revised site plan.
7. The building design represents a departure from the architecture existing in the area,
however, the structures are compatible with existing development. The integration
of berms against the building walls will soften the appearance of the building.
8. The Planning Department has made the applicant sufficiently aware of additional
requirements that may result from future changes to the proposal and/or subdivision
of the total property.
DECISION:
Based upon the record, testimony, findings and conclusions, it is the Examiner's decision
to approve the Site Plan (Exhibit #3) and Special Permit for bulk storage subject to:
1. Submittal of a revised site plan reflecting the relocation and alteration of the main
buildin and additional parking spaces for approval by the Planning Department for
confor ce with this decision, findings and conclusions.
2. Submittal of a revised Landscape Plan per Exhibit #9 to include sufficient details
of the screening fence and landscape screening of the outdoor display area for
approvals of the Planning Department per Section 4-734. (E) .2.
3. The outdoor display area being kept in a neat and orderly appearance and restricted
to the total area shown on Exhibit #3.
4. Submittal of appropriate documentation of participation in the L.I.D. for left turn
improvements in the West Valley Road (SR-181) per requirements and approval of the
Public Works Department.
5. Approval of the Shoreline Management Substantial Development and State Flood Zone
Control Permits.
6. Retention of and/or addition to existing vegetation on the eastern and southeastern
portions of the site for conformance with Section 4-734. (E) .2. per approval of the

E. PHYSICAL BACKGROUND:
1 . Topography: The site is generally level with a very slight decreasing slope
toward the eastern boundary.
2. Soils: Puyallup fine sandy loam (Py). Permeability is moderately rapid, runoff
is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight. This soil is used for row crops and
pasture and for urban development.
3. Vegetation: Short, thick grass is the dominant ground cover with some shrubs
and a few deciduous trees.
4. Wildlife: Existing vegetation on the site provides some habitat for birds and
small mammals.
5. Water: There is some surface water existing on the site.
6. Land Use: The site itself is basically undeveloped. To the east is located the
P-1 Drainage Channel and to the south are a few single family residences. To the
west is the West Valley Road and the Green River. North of the subject site a new
building is under construction.
F. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS:
The area is presently in a slow transition from undeveloped pasture land and filled
land to commercial and manufacturing park uses.
3. PUBLIC SERVICES:
1 . Water and Sewer: There is an existing 12 inch water main situated along the Puget
Sound Electric right-of-way, along the easterly boundary of the subject site. An
existing 8 inch sewer main is located along the same right-of-way. Storm sewer
lines are not available; however, there is a drainage ditch east of the subject site.
2. Fire Protection: Provided by the Renton Fire Department as per Ordinance requirements.
3. Transit: Metro Transit Route Number 155 operates along Southwest 43rd Street
within 1/4 mile to the south.
4. Schools: Not applicable.
5. Parks: Not applicable.
APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE ZONING CODE:
1 . Section 4-730, M-P, Manufacturing Park District.
2. Section 4-734,, Bulk Storage Facilities.
APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OR OTHER OFFICIAL CITY DOCUMENT:
1 . Green River Comprehensive Plan, June 1976, Objectives, pages 5 through 8.
2. Land Use Report, 1965, Objectives, pages 17 and 18.
I. IMPACT ON NATURAL SYSTEMS:
Development of the subject site will disturb soil and vegetation, increase water runoff,
and cause a rise in traffic and noise levels in the area. However, through good develop-
ment procedures and suitable landscaping and screening, many of these impacts will be
minimized.
SOCIAL IMPACTS:
Not applicable.

L. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT/THRESHOLD DETERMINATION:
Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental
Policy Act of 1971 , as amended, RCW 43-21C, a declaration of non-significance has
been issued for the subject proposal . This negative declaration is further based on
proper development procedures per City ordinances and the provision of suitable
landscape areas to help reduce the resulting loss in vegetation by site development;
and compatibility with the manufacturing park ordinance, Valley Comprehensive Plan,
and Resolution Number 1923.
M. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A vicinity map and a site map are attached.
N. AGENCIES/DEPARTMENTS CONTACTED:
1 . City of Renton Building Division.
2. City of Renton Engineering Division.
3. City of Renton Traffic Engineering Division.
4. City of Renton Utilities Division.
5. City of Renton Fire Department.
3. PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
1 . The proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and M-P, Manufacturing
Park zone.
2. The proposed site plan conforms to the setback and landscaping requirements of the
M-P zone.
3. The proposed site plan is also consistent with the requirements of the bulk storage
ordinance (two large areas behind the proposed building are proposed for outdoor
storage). This includes setbacks, screening, and landscaping. However, the fence
has not been specifically defined on the site plans. The portion of the fence
around the storage area must be a screening fence of a height consistent with
bulk storage requirements. The landscape strip adjacent to the fence and storage
area should have sufficient evergreen shrubs for screening, aesthetic and wildlife
habitat purposes (Section 4-734.E, Green River Valley Comprehensive Plan Objectives
pages 7 and 8, Resolution 1923). See comments on landscape plans.
4. The proposed development is consistent with the 2% site landscape requirement of
the City' s agreement with Soil Conservation Service for the Valley Drainage Project
Resolution 1923) although additional evergreen shrubs suitable for screening and
providing wildlife food and/or habitat should be added to certain landscape areas.
See comments on landscape plans. Existing vegetation to remain around storage area
must be sufficient to provide screening, buffering, and wildlife habitat. If ever
removed, it must be replaced per bulk storage ordinance recpirements.
5. Two points of access along West Valley Road (SR 181 ) are indicated on the site plan.
These appear acceptable. The subject site must be included in the LID for left
turn lane along West Valley Road, which is being processed.
6. The southerly access road may be required at some future date to be dedicated and
improved as a public street if the easterly portion of the site is subdivided
from the portion fronting West Valley Road.
7. The Public Works Department has indicated that off-site improvements will be required
along West Valley Road as part of site development. Unimproved portions of the
right-of-way shall be included in the landscape plan.

8. Only two pieces of equipment should be permitted in the designated display area
at any one time. All other storage must be in designated areas behind the building,
screening fence, and landscaping areas, consistent with the M-P zone concept, bulk
storage ordinance, and Valley Comprehensive Plan objectives.
9. The proposed plan is consistent with the provision of the parking and loading ordi-
nance, except that an additional 8 parking spaces will be necessary to correspond
with the proposed use of the accessory building near the north property line.
10. Suitable utilities are available to the subject site. Final design should be
approved by the Utilities Division and Fire Department. Standard utilities
charges are required (see Utilities Division comments).
11 . Suitable storm water retention and oil/water separation facilities will be required
as part of site development. Detailed plans must be approved by the Public Works
Department.
12. A Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit Application has been submitted
to the Planning Department and is presently being processed.
13. A State Flood Zone Control Permit will be required for site development.
P. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

1 . Final Planning Department approval of detailed landscape and screening plans for
the entire site development including comments as noted on plans submitted as
exhibits at public hearing.
2. Only two pieces of equipment shall be permitted in the display area as stipulated in
item 8 above.
3. A left turn lane shall be provided on West Valley Road. This can be accomplished
in cooperation with the proposed LID for such purposes in the area.
4. Existing vegetation in the easterly portion of the site shall be preserved as
noted on the landscape plan, and shall be of sufficient quantity and size to provide
suitable screening to meet bulk storage and Valley Comprehensive Plan standards.
Supplemental material may be necessary subject to review by the Planning Department.
If any such vegetation is removed, it shall be replaced per bulk storage standards
and Planning Department approval .
5. Final Public Works Department and Fire Department approval of utility plans and
designs.
6. Final Public Works Department approval of detailed drainage plans with provision of
suitable storm water retention and oil/water separation facilities which will not
impact adjacent properties.
7. Approval of a Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit.
8. Approval of a State Flood Zone Control Permit.
9. Any further development and/or sale of the undeveloped portions of the site shall
be subject to M-P zone, Subdivision Ordinance, and other applicable City regulations.

COMMENTS :
Introduction The State Environmental Policy Act of 1971, Chapter 43.21C, RCW, requires
all state and local governmental agencies to consider environmental values both for their
own actions and when licensing private proposals . The Act also requires that an EIS be
prepared for all major actions significantly affecting the quality of the environment.
The purpose of this checklist is to help the agencies involved determine whether or not a
proposal is such a major action.
Please answer the following questions as completely as you can with the information
presently available to you. Where explanations of your answers are required , or where
you believe an explanation would be helpful to government decision makers , include your
explanation in the space provided, or use additional pages if necessary. You should
include references to any reports or studies of which you are aware and which are rele-
vant to the answers you provide. Lomplete answers to these questions now will help all
agencies involved with' your proposal to undertake the required environmental review with-
out unnecessary delay.
The following questions apply to your total proposal , not just to the license for which
you are currently applying or the proposal for which approval is sought. Your answers
should include the impacts which will be caused by your proposal when it is completed,
even though completion may not occur until sometime in the future. This will allow all
of the agencies which will be involved to complete their environmental review now, with-
out duplicating paperwork in the future.
NOTE : This is a standard form being used by all state and local agencies in the State
of Washington for various types of proposals . Many of the questions may not apply to
your proposal . If a question does not apply, just answer it no and continue on to the
next question.
