Dear Mr. Hume:
The change in access that was proposed in your letter of February 27,
1979, was reviewed by the Planning and Public Works Departments and
found acceptable. My review indicates that the additional access
appears to be a minor revision to the approved site plan. Therefore,
the revised site plan has been forwarded to the City Clerk for
filing with the file of record. Final development must conform
to this plan.

previously reviewed the applicant ' s proposal for additional
access onto the East Valley Highway . The original proposal was
for a right turn only at the northerly end of the project exit-

south. Following these unusual disconnections , it was deter-
mined that only the southerly access should be recommended .
On the basis of the previous discussions , I suggested to the

RE : Ingress Off of East Valley Highway
Dear Mr . Beeler :
After further analysis of the ingress and egress of the Koll
Business Center-Renton, we concluded that access to many of
the buildings could be improved with access off of East Valley
Highway as shown on the enclosed site plan. An access at this
point would help alleviate the potentiality of congestion at
the traffic signal at S .W. 43rd St . and East Valley Highway .
This additional ingress would primarily serve Buildings b , f,
portions of a, c, e , and Lots 1 , 2 and 3 . Lots 1 , 2 and 3 are
smaller lots designed for couuilercial application. The nature
of their use will generate more traffic than the other build-
ings . All traffic originating from points north and east
of our development would use the proposed new ingress when
patronizing the goods or services provided on Lots 1 , 2 , 3 .
In view of the advantages to both the external and internal
traffic pattern, we seek approval of the additional ingress
point as proposed. Should you have any questions , please do
not hesitate to inquire .
Very truly yours , 1'

Re: File No. Preliminary Plat PP-266-78 and Site Approval 269-78;

Lear Mr. Beeler:
In reply to your letter of 5 January 1979 requesting whether the Koll
Business Parks interior circulation system should be private aisleways or
public streets, we point out the following items:
1. The plat as presently laid out provides adequate frontage
for all lots on public streets and is in full conformance
with the Renton Subdivision Ordinance.
2. If the interior aiselways become public streets they will
form blocks that in every instance are non-conforming to the
Kenton Subdivision Ordinance.
3. The internal circulation on private aisleways is typical of
business or industrial parks and shopping centers. It is the
same concept as the Benaroya Business Park on the west side
of Lind Avenue.
his basic concept is to allow off public street circulation.
Persons enter the center at specific points and are able to move
about within it without re-entering the through traffic on
the adjacent public streets.
5. Public streets would not be consistent with the orderly planned
traffic movements in the area. 36' wide public streets would
attract through traffic attempting to by-pass controlled inter-
sections at o. W. 41st & East Valley, S. W. 43rd and East
Valley, S. W. 43rd and Lind Ave. and S. W. 41st and Lind.

6. This increases traffic congestion both within the Business
Center and on adjacent streets , which in turn exacerbates
the air pollution problem.
7. Changing to public streets requires a greater initial
investment by the developer, causes uneconomic use of energy,
and imposes a burden on the City's services for items such as
street cleaning, storm system maintenance, traffic control,
pavement striping, and street lighting.
We are not able to identify any increased benefits in the areas of traffic
safety or the general publi2 welfare by the change to internal public
streets. On the contrary we believe that there will be a deleterious
effect on traffic safety, air pollution and City public services. We
therefore strongly recommend that the plat and site plan be approved as
originally submitted with internal circulation by private aisleway.

RE : PRELIMINARY PLAT 226-78 , SITE APPROVAL 269-78
KOLL BUSINESS CENTER
With ''espect to your letter to Gardner Engineers regarding the
above referenced projects , this department has reviewed your
commeits and the plans submitted by the applicant . It is our
opinion that your interpretation of the Subdivision Ordinance
requirement for public streets within this development may not
be necessary , since the lots will each have public street
frontage as required by the ordinance .
It is the opinion of the Planning Department that the proposed
site plan arrangement should be considered somewhat in the man -
ner of a Planned Unit Development , wherein individual access
and thoroughfares may exist through parking areas as designed
by the applicant . It is our feeling that this arrangement is
satisfactory subject to the reasonable design criteria such as
minimum trafficway widths conforming to the Parking and Loading
Ordinance minimum standard for ninety degree parking of 24 feet
4- 2C06 . 1 . C ) . Other criteria such as non -offset intersections
and adequate pedestrian circulation should be considered .
So long as the proposed access thoroughfares do not otherwise
interfere with the site design , it does not appear that public
street access , maintenance , and liability would be necessary
or required .

This memo is written pursuant to your request for written response
to your letter dated January 5, 1979 to Mr. Mort Thomas of Gardner
Engineers, Inc. We have reviewed this matter and find that alI
parcels in the proposed subdivision have adequate frontage on
dedicated public streets and as such meet the requirements of the
Subdivision Ordinance pertaining to access.
Internal circulation among the various property owners within the
subdivision is a private matter and all necessary easements or
rights for such internal circulation will be by appropriate pri-
vate agreements between the property owners involved.

SUBJECT: File No. Preliminary Plat PP-266-78 and
Site Approval 269-78; Koll/Intereal Northwest
to clarify your memorandum of January 15, 1979, I have one question.
While you indicated that adequate public access is available to each
lot in the subdivision, you did not specifically state whether the
proposed through access-ways or aisleways actually constitute
streets (private or whatever) . Considering the lack of definition
of a "street" or "roadway" in the Subdivision Ordinance or zoning
regulations and considering R.C.W. 36.75.020 (Definitions) what is
your opinion? (an alloy is defined in Section 9-1102. 1 of the
Subdivision .)r.linance. ) If the access-ways do not constitute
streets, does the proposal present any danger to the public health,
safety or welfare.
i:L •%. my decision red,ir Iiny these applications is due January 19,
please respond by that date.
Thank you.

Subject: File No. Preliminary Plat PP-266-78 and Site
Approval 269-78; Koll/Intereal Northwest
In response to your memo of January 17, 1979, I hereby sub-
mit the following:
The circulation system proposed as part of the development
will provide access to and from the parking areas. It is
my opinion that these do not constitute public ways as
defined in RCW 36. 75.020, "Definitions". These access-ways
could be closed by the property owners subject to whatever
agreements there are among the parties. The public could
be excluded by closure of these aisleways and such closure
would be legal and proper and the public could not have them
re-opened as a matter of right.
The access-ways will be constructed pursuant to the require-
ments of the City's Parking & Loading ordinance and, in my
opinion, would promote the public health, safety and welfare.
I hope this information is sufficient for your purposes.

OFFICE OF THE LAND USE HEARING EXAMINER
CIIY OF RENTON
REPORT AND 'RECOMMENDATION .
APPLICANT: Koll/Intereal Northwest FILE NO. SA-269-78
LOCATION: Northwest corner of East Valley Road and S.W. 43rd Street.
SUMMARY OF REcUEST: Applicant seeks site approval in a Manufacturing Park zone
for a business park consisting of one 21,100 square foot
building to be used as a retail structure and sixteen (16)
buildings totaling 293,837 square feet to be utilized as
multi-tenant office space and light manufacturing/wholesale.
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 December 27, 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 January 2, 1979 at 10: 50 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.
Gordon Y. Ericksen, Planning Director, reviewed Exhibit #1, and entered the following
additional exhibits into the record:
Exhibit #2: Site Plan
Exhibit #3: Conceptual Landscape & Irrigation
Design Plan
Referencing Planning Department Recommendation No. P. 1 of Exhibit #1 regarding landscaping
plans, Mr. Eri :ksen advised that Exhibit #3 was conceptual in content and submittal of
final landscapa plans would be required for final approval. He indicated that the
landscape plan should reflect an increased landscape buffer strip on the perimeter of
the site on S.W. 43rd Street and East Valley Road from 12 feet to 15 feet as previously
required in Glacier Park final plat approval. He also noted that utility easements
must be providi d for maintenance and operation per approval of the Public Works Department.
Referencing Section P. 5 of Exhibit #1, Mr. Ericksen advised that review and approval of
fire protection methods would be required by the Fire Department, and suggested the
applicant contact that department. Regarding Section P.7 relating to approval by the
Public Works Department of drainage plans, Mr. Ericksen expressed his opinion that the
Springbrook Channel would not adequately provide required storm water retention for the
project and indicated a requirement for drainage plans which reflect on-site retention
and control of drainage as well as provision of oil-water separators. Regarding Section
P.9 pertaining to final Planning Department approval of signing and exterior building
design, he advised that although a preliminary elevation plan had been submitted, a
detailed plan containing specific design would be required prior to final approval. He
submitted the preliminary plan designating typical elevations of the proposed one and two-
story multi-tenant buildings. The plan was labeled as follows by the Examiner:
Exhibit #4: Preliminary Building Elevations
Mr. Ericksen a.iso submitted a photograph of an architectural rendering of the proposed
one-story structure, type of signing, landscaping, and general parking configurations.
The photograph was labeled as follows by the Examiner:
Exhibit #5: Architectural Rendering of
Typical Buildings
f
SA-269-78 Page Two
Mr. Ericksen indicated Planning Department approval of the general building configuration
although he noted that the proposed site plan does not include Lots No. 1, 2 and 4 which
would require subsequent approval at a later date. Mr. Ericksen circled in red on
Exhibit #2 certain potential internal circulation problems created by the off-set roadway
configuration between Lots No. 5, 6, 7 and 8. He also reviewed potential pedestrian access
problems which may occur as a result of sidewalk configurations. Mr. Ericksen advised
that both matters must be addressed and resolved prior to final approval by the Planning
Department.
The Examiner asked the representative for the applicant if he concurred in Exhibit #1.
Responding was:
Mort Thomas
Gardner Engineers, Inc.
Arctic Building, Penthouse
Seattle, WA 98104
Mr. Thomas reported certain reservations regarding Planning Department recommendations
contained in Exhibit #1. Responding to Mr. Ericksen's concerns, Mr. Thomas reported
that storm water retention would be provided on the site; installation of sidewalks
would be provided on Lind Avenue S.W. , S.W. 41st Street, East Valley Road, and a bicycle
path would be constructed on S.W. 43rd Street in addition to curbs, gutters, and storm
drainage as part of the five-lane Kent-Renton project. Mr. Thomas objected to extension
of access easements from S.W. 43rd Street since adequate frontage exists on all lots
with the exception of Lots No. 5 and 8 for which additional access has been designated.
He also advised that a 20-foot utility easement has been provided throughout the site
on the lot lines in conformance with the request from the Utility Division.
The Examiner requested further testimony in support of the application. Responding was:
Ken Peterson
Koll Company
2723 152nd N.E.
Redmond, WA 98052
Mr. Peterson objected to Fire Department recommendations for sprinkling systems provided
for all buildings as being premature since final drawings had not been completed. The
Examiner advised that jurisdiction for review of the matter remains with the Fire
Department, and suggested that the applicant contact departmental representatives.
The Examiner requested further comments from Mr. Ericksen. Mr. Ericksen reiterated
concerns regarding internal pedestrian and vehicular circulation, and requested that
consideration be given the matter in the Examiner's decision. The Examiner requested
further comments from the applicant. Mr. Thomas reported that the site architect and
deve oper are fully aware of the impact of circulation patterns, and plans meet their
requ.rements and desires for the project. Mr. Peterson advised that details of the
deve opment are similar to other Koll Company multi-tenancy parks in Tukwila, Redmond
and Other areas, and no problems have occurred with pedestrian and traffic access in
the past.
The Examiner inquired regarding scheduling of developmental phases. Mr. Thomas indicated
that Lots No. 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 will be developed initially as part of Phase I and Lots No.
1, 2 and 4 will be subsequently sold. The Examiner inquired regarding the preliminary
nature of Exhibit #5, architectural rendering. Responding was:
Greg Hume
Koll Company
2723 152nd N.E.
Redmond, WA 98052
Mr. fume indicated that although proposed elevations depicted on the exhibit were
conceptual, the intent of the applicant is to construct buildings according to the plan.
The xaminer inquired regarding design and exterior treatment of proposed structures.
Mr. ume reported that Phase I plans include construction of three types of buildings
cons sting of a service building on Lot No. 3, one-story light industrial buildings as
well as light industrial buildings with mezzanine offices, and photographs of the proposed
stru tures had been submitted to the Planning Department. Mr. Ericksen advised that
furt er review of files would be accomplished to obtain submitted photographs to provide
to t e Hearing Examiner following closure of the public hearing. The Examiner labeled
the hotographs as follows:
Exhibit #6: Photographs of Rendering of
Proposed Buildings
Mr. Ericksen indicated that maximum allowable building height on the site must not exceed
proposed elevations of two-story buildings denoted on the plans.
SA-269-78 Page Three
The Examiner requested a final recommendation from Mr. Ericksen. Mr. Ericksen indicated
that the Planning Department recommendation contained in Exhibit #1 would remain as
submitted.
The Examiner requested further comments. Since there were none, the hearing on File No.
SA-269-78 wa: closed by the Examiner at 11:25 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION: 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 for seventeen (17) industrial, office and
commercial buildings (315,637 square feet of floor space) within a proposed preliminary
plat or a portion of the Orillia Industrial Park final plat.
2. The Planning Department report 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.
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
based upon the EIS issued on October 22, 1975 for landfill operations on the site.
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, landscaping and
height requirements of Section 4-730 (M-P) and Chapter 22 (Parking and Loading) of
Title IV, Ordinance No. 1628, Code of General Ordinances.
8. The proposal generally conforms to the final plat of Orillia Industrial Park
FP-176-7nj) . Additional landscaping (15-foot strip) is required along S.W. 43rd
Street and the East Valley Road, and additional landscaping is required at access
points along these streets. This landscaping is to be installed with development
of the site or individual lots. The amount of landscaping appears to conform with
the required wildlife habitat mitigation of Resolution No. 1923 and the Green River
Valley Comprehensive Plan. Staff has not apparently approved the plant material
for wildlife habitat mitigation.
9. Refuse dunpster locations are not shown on the site plan, Exhibit #2. These
containers must meet the location and screening requirements of Section 4-730.5.
10. Roof-top mechanical equipment was not displayed in the submitted exhibits.
11. Storm drainage retention will be provided on-site, and the drainage plan has been
reviewed by the Public Works Department. Some revisions of the plan appear necessary
for final approval by the department.
12. Off-site improvements are required including bicycle paths which will be provided
either by the applicant or through LID's that have been formed in the area.
13. Three types of buildings are proposed (Exhibits #5 and 6) which will apparently be
of concrete and light earth tones.
14. A preliminary plat application (PP-266-78) has been heard by the Examiner concurrently
with this application. Per Finding No. 8 and Conclusion No. 6 the internal
circulation is acceptable as proposed, except that per Conclusion No. 6 the 20-foot
vehicular easement between Lots 2 and 3 must be revised to 60 feet or deleted.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposed buildings and site plan generally conform to the Comprehensive Plan for
the Green River Valley. The design is an aesthetic contribution to the environment
Introduction, page 1, and Objectives, pages 6 and 8) which will ". . .enhance the
image of the City of Renton." (Goals, page 4) . Wildlife habitat will be partially
enhanced by the provided landscaping (Goals, page 4, and Objectives, page 7) . The
tax base cf the city will be enhanced and a ". . .viable economic climate. . . " will be
provided (Goals, page 4) . Suitable landscaping can be provided at the periphery of
SA-269-78 Page Four
the site (Objectives, page 6) .
2. A final landscape plan must be submitted to the Planning Department for review to
assure and confirm compliance with the Parking and Loading Ordinance (Chapter 22) ,
the Green River Valley Comprehensive Plan, Resolution No. 1923 and the final plat
of Orillia Industrial Park. The landscape plan submitted, Exhibit #3, is of
insufficient detail for appropriate evaluation by the staff. In addition, the
landscape plan does not include landscaping for a large portion of the site.
Therefore, prior to the final action of the Examiner becoming effective, a final
landscaping plan must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Department.
3. Roof-top mechanical equipment may potentially impact adjacent and distant properties;
therefore, the Objective, page 8, Comprehensive Plan for the Green River Valley,
requires that this impact be minimized. The Planning Department should review
these details for compliance with the design goals and objectives of the Comprehensive
Plan, M-P requirements, and the character of the proposal.
4. Signing should be reviewed in the normal administrative processes. No sign details
were submitted in the record.
5. Although the building designs (Exhibits #5 and 6) are conceptual, the applicant
indicated that the buildings will appear as shown in these exhibits. The detail
of the drawings appears sufficient on the basis of this testimony to conclude that
the designs and colors conform to the Comprehensive Plan for the Green River Valley.
6. This application is unusual in that it is being reviewed concurrently with a request
for approval of a preliminary plat which will divide the property into eight lots.
cause of the impact of the Examiner's recommendation regarding the preliminary
plat (expansion of the 20-foot easement to a 60-foot right-of-way or its deletion)
the submitted site plan will require revision to conform to the preliminary plat and
the applicable building setback requirements (See Finding No. 14) . It is appropriate
that approval of the site plan does not prejudice the preliminary plat in any way
which might be construed to constitute grounds for a variance or exception request.
DECISjION:
Approval of the site plan, Exhibit #2, subject to:
1. Conformance with the preliminary plat, PP-266-78.
2. Addition of landscaping to constitute a 15-foot strip along S.W. 43rd Street and East
Valley Road per the requirements of the final plat of Orillia Industrial Park
FP-176-78) and approval of the Planning Department.
3. Submittal of the final landscape plan for review and approval of the Planning
Department for compliance with the Parking and Loading Ordinance, Green River
Valley Comprehensive Plan, Resolution No. 1923, and the Orillia Industrial Park
final plat.
4. Review of refuse dumpster locations and screening and roof-top mechanical equipment
by the Planning Department for compliance with the Green River Valley Comprehensive
Plan.
5. Final approval of the storm water detention plans by the Public Works Department.
6. Approval of off-site improvements by the Planning and Public Works Departments.
7. Review of the final building elevations for compliance with Exhibits #5 and 6 by
the Planning Department.
8. Compliance with all other applicable city codes, ordinances and regulations.

year yr. Thomas:
During my review of the record of these applications, I -discovered a
question of some consequence that was not discussed in the public
hearings neld January 2, 1979. Since the hearings were closed, any
additional testimony must either be submitted in writing and included
it, the Examiner's final decision or the public hearings must be
reopened. In this instance, it appears most appropriate due to the
specific nature of the issue to not reopen the hearings but to request
any testimony that you may have regarding' the issue he submitted in
writing to t :.is office. Therefore, I am requesting any testimony or
information that will enable me to reach a decision on this issue as
it affects these applications.
The issue t>; whether or not the internal circulation of the proposals
is actually constituted by streets and not aisleways. Should streets
be contained in the plans, the Subdivision .trdinance requires that
the internal circulation be expanded to 60-foot wide dedicated public
streets from which the zoning regulations require a 60-foot building
setback . Consideration of this issue not only involves Traffic
Engineering expertise regarding traffic safety and circulation, but
also ti:e general goal of protecting the public health, safety and
welfare.
Please provide your testimony to this office by January 12, 1979. - In
order e give the Examiner sufficient time to evaluate this testimony,
the decision making period is hereby extended from January 16, 1979 to
January l't, 1')79. Tills will also extend the appeal/reconsideration
period f rot, January ln, 1979 to February 2, 1979.

0 . PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS :
1 . The subject site is part of the Orillia Industrial Park prelim-
inary plat which was approved on January 4 , 1978 . A final plat
based on the approved preliminary plat was approved on August 25 ,
1978 . The applicant proposes to further subdivide the subject
parcel into eight lots . ( A preliminary plat application has
been filed in conjunction with this site approval . ) The plat
will provide for separate ownerships of the phases of develop-
ment on the site . The proposed use is for a combination of
retail ( 21 , 200 square feet ) and multi -tenant office/ industrial
space ( 293 ,837 square feet - two phases ) to be leased . Such
use is consistent with the M-P , Manufacturing Park Zone . Of
the original Orillia plat approval conditions , Burlington
Northern has not provided the required perimeter landscaping
plan . Due to the excellence of the submitted Koll Company
plan , it is suggested that this plan become the model for future
perimeter areas .
2 . The subject proposal is generally consistent with the approved
preliminary and final Orillia Industrial plats . Building
locations meet or exceed the minimum 60 foot setback require-
ment of the M-P zone. Minimum 10 foot landscape strips are
provided along the property lines adjacent to the public
rights-of-way . Landscaping planned for the parking areas and
general interior meet or exceed the 5% of the total parking
area required and the 2 of the total site required by
Resolution 1923 .
3 . The proposed landscape plan generally meets ordinance require-
ments and is consistent with the site objectives of the Valley
Comprehensive Plan .

6 . Although not shown on the conceptual site plan , dumster areas
where located, should be visually screened and located so as
not to conflict with other uses .

fire flow and hydrant requirements and that water main sizes
and installation be approved by water utilities . Access and
fire hydrants shall be installed and ready for use prior to any
building construction and all buildings must meet the Uniform
Fire Code requirements per individual use .
8 . Sewer and water plans have been reviewed and given preliminary
plat approval by the Public Works Department ( storm water
retention ) . The applicant ' s stated intention of using the
Springbrook Channel for storm water retention is not relevant
as the SCS P- 1 Channel is not a reality ( see Engineering
comments ) . This will have to be resolved prior to final
plat approval . However , final review and approval is usually
necessary after preliminary plat approval and prior to con-
struction phases .

approval pending review of the street lighting plan and
specifications along the west side of the East Valley High-
way from S . W . 41st Street to S . W . 43rd Street .
