RE: Uniglobe Emergency Generator Enclosure-Request for Minor.Modifications ..
To Approved Site Plan( SA-092-80),Valley Office Park—2.
3 A,-80 0612
Dear Jana;.
Per above,we are requesting a modification to install a new emergency generator for the above
referenced tenant.The attached plans indicate the proposed location and physical construction of
the enclosure.The proposed location is a grass landscape area between the office building and the
on-grade parking lot. The generator/enclosure will be partially below grade to,limit the visual
impact ofthe new equipment.The designed enclosureiwill conceal the emergency generator from
public View and will be finished.to match that of the existing building.The'generator itself will be
a pre-engineered/self-contained diesel`unit provided by our generator consultant. Our permit.
submittal is for the enclosure only with electrical/mechanical'/generator,as design-build under a
separate„permit,
The purpose of the generator is to accommodate Uniglobe's critical systems in the event of a •
power failure or emergency conditions.These critical systems include phone and:computer - .
communications to locations around the world.The generator would allow Uniglobe to maintain
operations that"cannot be disrupted"and are deemed"critical"to customer services. •
If you have any questions or need additional information,please give me a call.
Sincerely, ' - .

Subject: Approval of Minor Modification of Valley Office Park II Site Plan
City File#SA-80-092
Dear Mr. Maertz:
Thank you for letter of October 8' requesting a modification to a previously site plan. As you
know, the City of Renton Municipal Code permits me to grant minor modifications to approved
site plans.
Your proposal to site an enclosed emergency generator to the south of the existing "South
Building", as shown on your revised site plan (Sheet A1.0) and elevations/specifications (Sheet
A2.0) dated 10-8-99, is hereby approved.
You are now eligible to obtain your building permit provided your plans comply with all Uniform
Code requirements. The existing electrical permit obtained by Holmes electric will also need to
be finalized. If your generator's fuel tank is integral to the generator, no additional permits are
required from the Fire Prevention Bureau. If the tank is separate from the generator, a
separate Fire Prevention Bureau Tank Permit is also required in addition to the Building and
Electrical Permits.
This is an administrative determination. To appeal this determination, a written appeal--
accompanied by the required $75.00 filing fee--must be filed with the City's Hearing Examiner
1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055, 425-430-6515) no more than 14 days from the
date of this decision. Your submittal should explain the basis for the appeal. Section 4-8-110
attached) of the Renton Municipal Code provides further information on the appeal process.
Please feel free to contact me or Laureen Nicolay at 425-430-7294 should you have any
questions regarding this letter.

Re: Valley Office &Industrial Park
Traffic Studies
Dear Mr. Fox:
I am attaching the two traffic :studies concerning current
vehicular transportation issues and traffic characteristics
associated with the street system serving the proposed
Valley Office and Industrial Park.
The first :study, completed last January, bo:und at the back
of the report addresses transportation considerations,
currently adopted municipal improvement programs, and ele-
ments associated with :trip generation, trip distribution,
capacityconstraints, And potential mitigating measures: that
can be adopted for the full development of the Valley. Office
and Industrial Park.
The second study, placed at the front of the report,: focuses
attention primarily on "incremental loading":. In this •case,
incremental loading is construed to mean the—implementation
of other office buildings identical to that recently con-
structed. Further, this second study addresses capacity. •
constraints on Lind Avenue primarily associated with the .
intersection of Grady Way and also the bridge crossing
Interstate 405.
The latter study notes that traffic signals will not be
required at the intersection of Lind Avenue and 16th :until
after a second office building is completed. Also, adequate
capacity exists on the 'bridge over Interstate 405 if a second
office building is completed. However, intersection improve-
ments will be necessary at Grady Way and Lind Avenue if a
second office building is undertaken. Such 'improvements'. '
include roadway widening and redesign of signal systetas.*
w
Mr. Jake Fox
March 14, 1980
page two
If a third office building is constructed, there will be
insufficient bridge capacity. The bridge over Interstate
405 will need to be widened to four lanes or alternatively
another bridge -constructed in order to relieve this
bottle-neck".
Essentially, on the basis of our,, studies we feel confident
that you can implement a second offic building without sub-
stantial 'investments on the road system. However, following
the implementation of a second building, substantial invest-
ments will be required if adequate capacity is to be met in
the absence of other mitigating measures aimed at reducing
peak, private auto travel.
If you have any questions with respect to the report, .please
feel free to contact 'us.
Yours ul

THE AUSTIN COMPANY
VALLEY OFFICE AND INDUSTRIAL PARK
Existing Characteristics
Existing or current transportation characteristics are
important in that they provide the fundamental parameters
associated with the development of future or projected
peak hour traffic demands.
Traffic characteristics associated with the existing office
building constructed for the Boeing Company by the Austin
Company on Lind Avenue S.W. south of 16th Street were gathered
from on-site, field observations taken during the week of
March 3 - 7, 1980. Estimates of the total work force presently
on-site were provided by staff of the Austin Company. Summarytransportationcharacteristicsaredescribedasfollows.
Total work force 1,400 (March, 1980)
Future work force 1,600
A.M. Inbound vehicular demand 1,129 (6:00 - 8:30)
A.M. Outbound vehicular demand 35
P.M. Inbound vehicular demand 81 (3:35 - 6:10)
P.M. Outbound vehicular demand 1,086
Both a.m. and p.m. vehicular movements generate a significant
peak hour demand within the peak time frame. These are :
A.M. (6:30 - 7 :30) from the north 438 vehicles/hour
from the south 176 vehicles/hour
P.M. (4:00 - 5:00) to the north 386 vehicles/hour
to the south 153 vehicles/hour
Non-vehicular. traffic observed in the afternoon included :
Pedestrians 53
Bicyclists 12
Motorcyclists 2
From a sample of 253 vehicles, vehicular occupancy was deter-
mined at:
Driver only vehicles 83%
Driver plus one passenger 15%
Driver plus two passengers 2%
Occupancy - 1.182 persons/vehicle
Seattle CBD occupancy = 1.21 persons/vehicle)
1-
t
Considering "passengers" against the total work force, such
ridership amounts to about 15.4 percent. Note that the
Boeing Company currently reports ridership in the order of
27 percent at other facilities. The higher ridership at
other sites is principally due to familiarity with the system.
This is expected to be achieved as the new office building
matures.
Vehicular flow rates in 15-minute increments are described
below.

Two motorcyclists were observed. One motorcyle included two

Pedestrian and bicyclist activity appears to account for 4.6
percent of the work force.
In concert with car pools, non-driver related employees
amount to almost 20 percent of the work force.
3-
s
ti
Note that at the present time there are virtually no ped-
estrian amenities or facilies either on Lind Avenue or on
the overcrossing of Interstate 405. Indeed, the lack of
adequate pedestrian facilities on the Interstate 405 over-
crossing may constitute a fundamental hazard. This should
be brought to the attention of both the City of Renton and
the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Traffic Signals
Traffic signals can only be installed at the intersection of
two roads if traffic signal "warrants" have been satisfied.
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and
Highways , published by the U.S. Department of Transportation,
Federal Highway Administration (1971) was adopted by ResolutionNo. 2490, Order No. 132, on March 20, 1972 by the Washington
State Highway Commission in accordance with Chapter 47.36 of
the Revised Code of Washington which grants such authority totheHighwayCommission.
The newest Department of Transportation publication has revised
the above document (1978) although, for all intents and
purposes, traffic signal warrants remain identical (except
for Warrant 6) . The titles are self-explanatory. These are:
Warrant 1, Minimum Vehicular Volume
Warrant 2, Interruption of Continuous Traffic
Warrant 3, Minimum Pedestrian Volume
Warrant 4, School Crossing
Warrant 5, Progressive Movement
Warrant 6, Accident Experience
Warrant 7, Systems Warrant
Warrant 8, Combination of Warrants
For the intersection of Lind Avenue S.W. and S. 16th Street
we consider Warrants 3, 4, 5, and 7 to be non-applicable.
Further, we do not believe Warrant 6 has been met. This is
particularly important since the subject intersection has
been recently been modified to a "4-way STOP" .
The two applicable warrants are "Minimum Vehicular Volume"
and "Inteiruption of Continuous Traffic". Briefly, Warrant 1
requires 600 vehicles per hour (total both approaches) on the
main stream and 150 vehicles per hour on the minor approach.
Warrant 2 , conversely , requires a demand of 900 vph, total
both approaches, on the main stream and 75 vehicles per hour
on the minor stream. These volumes must be reached for 8 hours.
4-
ti
Currently, traffic volumes between 6:00 in the morning and
6 :00 in the evening are:
Time Total Main Stream Minor Approach
6-7 123 51
7-8 477 120
8-9 388 123
12-1 358 90
1-2 460 134
2-3 385 141
3-4 568 163
4-5 620 336 (warrant met)
5-6 455 449
Note: Time interval 9:00 a.m. - 12 :00 excluded from
study as non-significant.
At the moment, traffic signal warrants are not satisfied.
Indeed, only one hour of the mandatory eight hours is met.
Probably, traffic signal warrants will not be met at the
subject intersection until traffic volumes are increased by
about 60 to 70 percent.
Before concluding this portion on "signal warrants" a final
comment might be in order. The operation of the existing
traffic signal at Lind Avenue S.W. and S.W. Grady Way consists
of three distinct "phases". Boosting the capacity of this
intersection will require the institution of both'. intersection
widening and the incorporation of an additional phase. In any
case, a multiple phase signal at this intersection will
be in contrast to a 2-phased signal at the intersection of
Lind Avenue S.W. and S.W. 16th Street. This, in turn, makes
appropriate coordination extremely difficult. In turn, this
will make the linkage operate less efficiently. It should be
noted at the present time that the traffic signal at Lind and
Grady Way (during the evening peak hour) is the significant
bottleneck , and not the capacity of the present 4-way STOP
installation at Lind and 16th. The latter intersection has a
capacity of 2,800 vph (with balanced demand) and 2,280 vph
with unbalanced demand) with capacity expressed in terms of
the total capacity all legs. It feeds all that Grady Way can take.
During the lowest hour of the eight highest hours of the day,
the present office facility contributes 237 vehicles to the
traffic stream. However, of the necessary 600 vehicles per
hour demand required on the mainline for signal warrants, an
existing shortfall of 242 vehicles exist. If another facility
of equal size were constructed with access on Lind Avenue,
such a facility would only contribute an additional 237
vehicles per hour, at the most, during the lowest hour of the
eight highest hours of the day. Again, this is not quite
5-
I
sufficient to bring the subject intersection in line with
signal warrants. Thus, it may be concluded, that even if a
second, identical facility were constructed, traffic signal
warrants would not quite be met.
This should not be construed to mean that a traffic signal
would not be required. A traffic signal may be required in
order to produce safe and efficient traffic operations during
the peak hours. However, from a legal frame, traffic signal
Warrant 1 or 2 will not be satisfied. Likely, reliance would
need to be placed on another warrant. Also , as noted earlier,
consideration must be given with respect to potential opera-
tions on the entire linkage between S.W. 16th Street and
Grady- Way.
In the interim, it is sufficient to state that traffic signal
warrants will: not be met even with the implementation of a
second office facility.
Traffic Operations - Second Facility
Given the implementation of a second office facility with
characteristics identical to those of the system presently
in place, an estimate of traffic operations can be made
given no changes to the present street or signal configuration.
At the present time, 15-minute, total intersection demand at
Lind Avenue S.W. and S.W. Grady Way can be stated in terms
of present demand versus surplus capacity at "saturation
flow" rates. With today's traffic this is :
Time Demand Surplus Capacity*
3:00 - 3:15 424 268
3:15 505 187
3: 30 664 28

and 5:00, and 45 vehicles per hour between 5:00 and 6:00.
Consequently, surplus capacity will be reduced between 3:00
and 6 :00 to: 416, 124, and 428 vph. Over a three-hour
interval, there is sufficient surplus capacity to accommodateprojectednorthbounddemandsfromasecondofficefacilityprovidedthepeakhourisdistributedoverafullthree
hours as opposed to the present two and one-half hours.
Further, it is also based on substandard Levels of Service
F) . - With changes in geometry, this quality of traffic flow
can be boosted to Level of Service "C".
Incremental Capacity
Incremental loadings are proposed assuming uniform increases
in employment of 1,600 persons per facility. Given current
ridership patterns, including transit usage, inbound and
outbound vehicular demand will amount to 1,280 vehicles per
facility.
During the p.m. peak time frame the northbound demand will
amount to 910 vehicles and, assuming a similar distribution
as presently existing, the evening peak hour will increase
by 453 vph. This will be followed by a secondary peak hour
amounting to 362 vehicles per hour. The peak hour is ex-
pected to commence at about 4 :00 and end at about 6:00
although some additional movements will take place before
and after these times.
Each additional increment, thereafter, will add a similar
demand to the system.
Note that a substantial data delimitation exists. It is
most unlikely that incremental loadings in terms of total
employment will maintain uniform ridership levels. As
employment levels increase, alternate modes of travel will
be selected. Indeed, the "modal split" will change. Likely,
transit and car pool ridership will increase substantially.
Perhaps by an additional 20 percent.
However, for the 2nd increment, it is assumed that the
peak hour will increase by 453 vehicles per hour during the
heaviest peak hour. Essentially, for each new increment,
we are assuming that the modal split remains unchanged. For
capacity purposes, it is assumed that the south leg of the
intersection of Grady and Lind Avenue is widened to provide
a 3-lane approach. Fu"rthher , the righthand or third lane has
7-
7
7
a length of about 380 feet. The north leg of the intersec-
tion is assumed to be widened to 30 feet in order to allow
unhindered turning movements. Finally, it is also assumed
that Grady Way has not yet been developed to a 5-lane section
but aht 3-lane program by O/W Properties (approved by the
City of Renton, March 1980) will be completed. This widened
roadway does not change the characteristics of the west
approach. Finally, for the second increment, the signal
system is rebuilt--at least in terms of signal control to
provide a 4-phase operation.
Figure 1, next page, portrays the relative capacity of
existing and incremental developments expressed in terms of
a flow rate on the south leg of the intersection of Grady
Way and Lind Avenue for the northbound direction. Increment
1 is the projected demand and also the available capacity
when the existing office facility is fully occupied. Note
the changes in signal operation per attached capacity cal-
culations.
Increment 2 assumes the development of a second office build-
ing. Again, available capacity exists at the bridge although
intersection improvements will be required in order to develop
capacity at Grady Way. Increment 3 considers a third office
building. In this case, the capacity of both the bridge and
the intersection are exceeded.
To summarize the impacts of proposed building programs, it
can be stated that the implementation of a second office
building can be accommodated with the existing roadway
network, complete with the existing bridge, although minor
modifications will be required on Lind Avenue between 16th
and Grady Way. Typically, such modifications include inter-
section widening.
For a third office building, alternative strategies must be ,
pursued including either bridge widening on Lind Avenue or
the construction of an additional facility discussed previously.
Conclusions
With respect to the proposed Valley Office and Industrial
Park developments, it may be concluded:-
1. Traffic signals will not be warranted at the inter-
section of 16th and Lind Avenue on completion of a
second office facility.
2. Traffic signals will probably be warranted if a
third office building is constructed.

3. The capacity of the existing bridge crossing Interstate
405 is sufficient to accommodate projected demands
from a second office building.
4. The intersection of Lind Avenue and Grady Way should
be improved to provide a 3-lane (northbound) approach
if adequate levels of service are to be maintained
with existing facilities in place and fully operating.
In the interim, traffic can function during the peak
hour although not at high levels of service.
5. The implementation of a second office building in
concert with intersection improvements at Lind Avenue
and Grady Way will not adversely impact traffic con-
ditions. Widening the north and south legs of the
intersection to provide three lane approaches will
ensure adequate levels of service. The signal
controllbr will need to be replaced.
6. The implementation of a third office building will
produce traffic volumes in excess of both inter-
section and bridge capacity. Alternate strategies
will need to be explored for accommodating such
traffic.
7. The implementation of a third office building should
be sufficient cause to mandate transit service to or
thru the site and, because of this, produce a reduc-
tion in peak hour traffic demands. Possibly, a
third building can be accommodated with appropriate
geometric revisions and maintaining the existing
bridge if the current modal split is improved.

Vehicular Transportation Issues
Study, Introduction
The transportation effort discussed in this report concerns
the area generally defined by S.W. 7th Street - SR-167 - S.W.
43rd Street - West Valley Highway. The principal purpose is
to describe current traffic levels, existing constraints,
projected peak traffic demands and estimate the potential
capacity on those highway and arterial facilities leading
into the area in order to assess the ability of the area to
absorb additional, significant employment along with attendant
vehicular travel.
Figure 1 indicates the general study area boundary along
with potential significant employment centers. Note that
Sector "B" is a facility presently nearing completion. *
This office building has 200,000 g.s.f. on 15 acres of
property. Sector "A" could include a similar facility. The
remaining sectors, "C" and "D" have less opportunity. In
particular, Sector "D" may have adverse soil conditions
along with a drainage way which could inhibit an equally
dense employment center although, potentially, the area
could be developed as a business park utilizing, for example,
clustered buildings with random open space.
Employment
For planning purposes, the total area available for develop-
ment is depicted on Figure 1, as previously noted. The 77
acres have a potential building capacity of 1,027 ,000 g.s.f.
Based on the Parkway Plaza Office Building with an employment
density of 7.12 persons/1,000 g.s.f. , maximum employment for
Sectors "A" , "B" , "C" , and "D" would be 8,736 persons.
However, it should be also noted that ranges in employment
density frequently exist. For example, in the Andover Park
area, density extends from:
Minimum . 1.04 persons/1,000 g.s.f.
Maximum 13.70 persons/1,000 g.s.f.
Similarly, recognizing that Sector "D" cannot be developed
as densely as others, planning concepts suggest an overall
employment base of eight thousand. Again, this is probably
on the "high side" and is used to present a "worst case".
Scheduled for occupancy in February-March

Transportation Considerations
For a "worst case" scenario, transit and van-pooling are
assumed to be nonexistent.
With ride-sharing, a practice gaining substantial support,
subsequent increases in vehicle occupancy suggest a rate
of 1.3 persons per vehicle although this rate will not be
achieved initially when a building is newly occupied. It
can be achieved and maintained with effort on the part of
the occupant.
Existing Traffic
Current traffic demand in terms of Average Daily Traffic (ADT)
and the peak hour demand, expressed in terms of Directional
Design Hourly Volume (DDHV) are shown on Figures 2 and 3.
Note that the evening peak hour is the heaviest peak hour .
Thus, Figure 3 represents the p.m. peak. Traffic data
presented on Figures 2 and 3 was obtained from field studies
conducted during December of 1979 and January of 1980 . The
data does not include the influence of new office buildings
presently under construction in the immediate vicinity.
Projected Improvement Programs
The City of Renton adopted a "6-Year Transportation Improvement
Program" on December 3rd, 1979. Within the study area ,
major arterial improvement programs are proposed for :
S.W. 43rd Street from East Valley to West Valley Road.
Valley Parkway from S.W. 43rd to S.W. 16th Street.
Valley Parkway from S.W. 16th to S.W. Grady Way.
Valley Parkway from S.W. Grady Way to S. 140th Street.
On the secondary or minor arterials, the improvement plan
calls for improvements on :
S.W. 27th Street from East Valley Parkway
S.W. 27th Street from Valley Parkway to West Valley Road
S.W. Grady Way Bridge from Longacres Dr. to W.Valley Rd.
S.W. Grady Way from Lind Avenue S.W. to Longacres Drive
Lind Avenue from S.W. 16th Street to S.W. Grady Way
On the collector arterial system, improvement programs are
scheduled for:
East Valley Road from S.W. 16th Street to SR-167 ramp
S.W. 16th Street from East Valley Road to Monster Road S.W.

lAdjacent jurisdictions have scheduled various improvement
programs that will have some positive if not measurable
effect. On the state highway system these include:
Relocation and reconstruction of SR-515 (1980)
Resurface SR-181, SR-516 to I-405 (1982)
Construct 1/2-diamond interchange; 212th St. at SR-167 (1983)
Ramp improvements; 84th Avenue at SR-167 (1981)
In the City of Kent, improvement programs, generally street
widening and arterial construction are proposed for the East
Valley Road, 80th Avenue S. , N. 4th Avenue, and N. Central.
King County has no improvements scheduled on the current
6-Year Transportation Improvement Plan for the general area.
Generally, capacity to the south via existing corridors
including SR-181, SR-167 , and the arterial facilities between
these two routes will be improved. To the north, the signi-
ficant barrier will be Interstate 405 and Grady Way. These
facilities have been addressed in the City of Renton's
Improvement Plan. Design studies are currently underway
including the Valley Parkway to Grady Way and the Grady Way
structure over the C.M. St.P. & P.R.R. The Lind Avenue
structure is given a very low priority.
Trip Distribution and Peak Hour Demand
Trip distribution has been estimated on the basis of previous
employee residence surveys (C. Brown, P.E. Parkway Plaza Office
Building Traffic Study, Jack Benaroya Company. 1979.
C. Brown, P.E. Boeing Everett Facility Expansion DEIS and FEIS
City of Everett. 1979) . Adjustments have also been made
to reflect potential housing starts south of the project site
in Auburn, Federal Way, and the northern portions of Pierce
County. This is described in Table I, Employee Residence
Distribution.
With respect to potential peak hour demands, data from a
large scale employment center has been utilized. Major
employment centers, recognizing the peak hour impacts in
terms of congestion, utilize "staggered" shifts. For example,
Table II which was derived from traffic demands at the Boeing-
Everett facility, shows several peaks during the inbound and
outbound time intervals. For example, 7:15 a.m. accounts for
the largest inbound demand. The next largest takes place at
8:15. For planning purposes, the data of Table II serves as
an appropriate estimate. Essentially, major employment
centers served by congested streets are "extended" .peak hours.
The greater the demand, the longer the peak hour.

Boeing Scientific Research Center, South Park
Area Traffic Study (C. Brown, P.E. October 1978)
The influence of both the inbound and outbound morning peak
hour on arterial facilities is evident in the above. From
about 6:30 a.m. until 8:00, the average demand is in the
order of 19.2 percent of total daily demand. In the after-
noon, extending from about 3:15 until 5:30 is in the order
of 15.3 percent. Some latitude exists in that the inbound
interval from 8:00 to 9 :00 a.m. is relatively light. Also,
after 5:30 p.m. demand is light but, even today, is increasing.
Note that the afternoon peak hour also tends to include
social-recreation trips in addition to those originating
fran a place of employment. Finally, Table III also indi-
cates the lack of other types of activity in the area (such
as shopping) in that there is very little demand on the
system apart from the peak hours. The balance of demand
tends to be thru trips or those trips associated with the
delivery and pick-up of material.
11-
Vehicular Demand - Peak Hour
Table II indicated the hourly demand at the project site.
The a.m. peak hour will have a maximum demand of about 32.40%
of total daily inbound demand. Conversely, in the evening -peaktheoutbounddemandw11amountto37.92% for the hour.
Assuming a maximum employment of 8,000 persons, the maximum
mooing demand will provide for the accommodation of 2,592
persons. With an assumed vehicle occupancy of 1. 3 persons
per vehicle, the maximum morning demand will be 1 ,994 vehicles
per hour. Note that this does not assume any viable transit
operation which would serve as a mitigating measure.
In the evening, the maximum hour will provide for 3,034
person trips. Again, using a vehicle occupancy of 1. 3 persons
per vehicle a maximum demand of 2 ,334 vehicles per hour is
anticipated.
Figure 5 is the representation of p.m. peak hour vehicular
movements. This figure, based on the trip distribution
described in Figure 4 , assumes the continued congestion of
I 405 at SR 167. Accordingly, about 22 percent of the demand
will be oriented to I 405 via Grady Way and/or S.W. 7th Street
through the Central Business District to either the Maple
Valley Highway Interchange of I 405 or other access roads.
Note that improvements to I 405 would shift the 22 percent
from surface streets to the SR 167 - I 405 interchange.
Essentially, current congestion will lead to diversion to
other surface streets.
Adjacent Developments
Adjacent commercial developments along Grady Way will impact
Grady Way, particularly at the intersection of Lind Avenue.
Fbr example, the O/W Office Building , situated just west of
Raymond Avenue at Grady Way, has 97,000 g.s. f. leasable space.
This office building is expected to contribute 3240 vehicular
trips per day, all of them onto Grady Way. The morning peak
hour will include about 296 vehicles and the afternoon peak
hour about 264 vehicles per hour. Because of the impacts of
this development, the owners are in the process of developing
plans for the "3-Laning" of S.W. Grady Way in the immediate
vicinity of the project site, extending across the property
towards Raymond Avenue. This is considered to be an interim
measure, is being financed entirely by the owners, and is only
an interim measure pending the 5-laning -of Grady Way through
an LID. The LID is expected to be commenced by the end of 1980.
Additional developments currently under consideration include
two major proposals in the vicinity of the Earlington Golf

Course. These projects include, as mitigating measures, the
extension of Pawel1 Avenue to Grady Way. Consequently, GradyWaymaybecomeimpactedfrommorethanonedirection.
Horizon Year DDHV
The p.m. peak hour, as the heaviest peak hour of the day, is
the principal concern with respect to developments in the
South Renton area.
P. M. peak hour distributions are portrayed on Figure 6. This
data has not been adjusted to incorporate either capacity
restraints or the influence of transit or other mitigatingmeasures. Similarly, this figure does not incorporate possibledemandsfromotherdevelopmentsthatmaytakeplacealthough
the data does include expected demands from the O/W facility.
Capacity
On the basis of Overall Intersection Capacity (Figure 20,
Public Roads Vol. 34, No. 10 , October, 1967) adequate inter-
section capacity exists at the East Valley Road and 41st
Street S.W. and at the East Valley Road at 43rd Street S.W.
The tacit assumption in both cases is that the approach
lanes are 36 feet in width in order to accommodate the heavyright-turn demands as shown on Figure 6. Adequate capacityalsoexistsattheintersectionofLindAvenueS.W. and 43rd
Street S.W. Again, little development outside of that under
construction is assumed and no mitigating measures are included.
The principal concern is the intersection of Lind Avenue at
Grady Way. With a heavy northbound demand on the south legoftheintersection (1910 vph) in concert with heavy demands
on Grady Way, the intersection is not capable of operatingatanadequateLevelofService. Indeed, even excluding theintersection, the northbound volume of 1910 vph exceeds the
capacity of the two-lane structure, estimated at 1470 vph.
Given the proposed widening of the Lind Avenue structure over
I-405 , its capacity can increase to 3460 vph. It must be
recongized that widening the stucture will not change the
capacity of the intersection of Grady Way ar Lind Avenue.
This intersection is the key.
A brief analysis was conducted at the intersection of Lind
Avenue and Grady Way with the demands noted on Figure 6. To
accommodate the northbound peak movements, the south leg ofLindAvenuewillrequire, at a minimum, two right-turninglanes, a single thru lane, and two left-turning lanes, for a
total approach width of 60 feet. This is not feasible nor
desirable.
Christopher Brown pc
15- 9688 rainier avenue &
gat washin• .n
A second test was performed which assumes an additional
overcrossing at Raymond Avenue S.W. between S.W. 16th Street
and Grady Way. The second overcrossing essentially allows
additional left-turning and right-turning capacity in the
northbound direction or, stated another way, shares the
turning movements. Redefined peak hour demands are described
in Figure 7.
In terms of capacity, it may be noted that adequate Levels
of Service will prevail at the intersection of Raymond and
Grady Way given a two-lane approach. The two-lane approach
would consist of a Right Turn Only lane and a Left Turn Only
lane. Each lane is assumed to be 12 feet in width so that
capacity at Level of Service "D" would be in the order of
500 vph per lane against probable demands of 308 and 327 vph
for left-and right-turn movements respectively.
Constructing a second bridge across I-405 at Raymond Avenue
would have the effect of reducing traffic demand on Lind to
the extent that the projected widening of this stucture may
not be necessary other than as a means of storing vehicles
on the approaches at signalized intersections. However, the
necessity for widening the structure should be subject to
additional detailed analysis.
With the implementation of a second overcrossing at I-405
with assumed traffic movements as shown on Figure 7, the
intersection of Grady Way and Lind Avenue will still be
over capacity assuming a 3-lane approach road configuration.
Again, this must be considered a preliminary estimate.
Changes in signal timing and phase configuration could
improve the short-fall in capacity.
Conclusions
The projected developments in the vicinity of Lind Avenue S.W.
and 16th Street which would provide employment for about
8,000 persons appear to be feasible in terms of their trans-
portation requirements with respect to corridor facilities
oriented to the south, subject to implementation of road
improvement programs by adjacent jurisdictions. However,
adequate access opportunity does not exist to the north.
This is principally due to capacity restraints. The capacity
restraints include two distinct features; overcrossing
capacity (I-405 structure) and signalization at Grady Way.
Increasing the width of the Lind Avenue overcrossing of
11-405 will increase bottleneck capacity to the detriment of
traffic operations at the intersections of Lind Avenue and
Grady Way. Alternate capacity can be achieved by an additional -
crossing structure utilizing Raymond Avenue S.W.- This will

shift traffic. demand to the west, provide adequate capacity
over I-405, and improve traffic operations on Grady Way by
distributing the substantial left-and right-turn movements.
This traffic report does not address the key intersections
of Grady Way and Rainier Avenue or Grady Way at the West
Valley Road. Similarly, this report must be considered
preliminary in nature, subject to revision, as other de-
velopments are identified and their precise scope defined.
Recommendations
Appropriate recommendations for consideration are:
1. Include linkage of Raymond Avenue between
S.W. 16th Street and Grady Way on the City
of Renton Arterial Street Plan with potential
designation of "collector arterial".
2. Modify City of Renton "6-Year Transportation
Improvement Program" .
3. Conduct detailed studies for extension of
Raymond Avenue across Interstate 405 with
possible extension to S.W. 10th Street.
4. Study priority array involving the potential
extension of the Valley Parkway between S.W.
16th Street and SR-900 with the Raymond Avenue
extension acting as an interim opportunity.
5. Accelerate Grady Way improvement program
between Lind Avenue S.W. and West Valley Road.
6. Investigate potential transit routing through
area via Raymond/Lind couplet.
7. Investigate distributive network potential
between Grady Way and Sunset Boulevard via
Stevens Avenue S.W. or thru the Earlington
Woods development.
8. Review access opportunities in the southern
corridor when City of Kent plan is completed.
9. Review SR-167/43rd Street S.W. interchange
configuration for potential capacity improve-
ment programs.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this report is to supplement the previous traffic study
performed by the Austin Company for construction of office buildings on its
parcels A, C, and D. The study focuses on the impact to the street network
that would be caused by development of the Austin Company's parcel into
office buildings instead of the warehousing and light manufacturing the
City envisioned under the M-P zoning. This study also investigates
potential impacts to both the existing street network and the future system
as outlined in the City of Renton's current six-year street plan.
As shown in Figure 1, the total area considered for future traffic
generation, referred to in this report as the Valley industrial Park, is
585 acres; of this total , approximately 190 acres are known to have soils
and drainage problems which will probably curtail their development. The
remaining 395 acres were analyzed as follows:
Case I : Existing traffic and full development of the 395 acres as
warehousing and light industry (M-P zoning) .
Analysis Ia - Impact on existing street network
Analysis Ib - Impact on future street network
Case II: Existing traffic and Parcel A office (12.5 acres) + 382.4 acres
as warehouse and light industry.
Analysis IIa and IIb - Similar to Ia and Ib
Case III: Existing traffic and Parcels A and C office development (34
acres) + 361 acres as warehouse and light industry.
Analysis IIIa and IIIb - Similar to Ia and Ib
Case IV: Existing traffic and Parcels A, C, and D office development (62
acres) + 333 acres as warehousing and light industry.

FIGURE 1 - 1980 TRAFFIC VOLUMES
x v
Traffic analyses were performed to determine the differential traffic
impacts between Case I and Case II , Case I and Case III , Case I and Case
IV, Case II and Case II , Case II and Case IV, and Case III and Case IV.
The analysis information is based on the most recent traffic counts
available from the City, WSDOT, the ITE trip generation manual , and trip
distribution previously accomplished for the Austin Company by Chris Brown.
CONCLUSIONS
Existing Traffic Volumes
1. Currently, the Grady/Lind intersection operates at Level of Service
LOS) "D".
2. Widening Lind Avenue to four lanes with left-turn lanes at the
intersection, and without any additional traffic contribution from the
Valley Industrial Park, the Grady/Lind intersection is likely to
operate at LOS "B".
Case I
1. With the existing street system, upon full development of the Valley
Industrial Park (395 acres) to M-P use, the Grady/Lind intersection
would be jammed (LOS "F") .
2. Construction of the planned new street system would improve the LOS to
E", or capacity at the intersection.
Case II
Converting 12.5 acres of M-•P zoned land (Parcel A) to office use would
not significantly increase traffic over all M-P use, and the levels of
service would be the same as Case I .
Case III and Case IV
With the proposed future street network, the Grady/Lind intersection
will operate at LOS "E" to LOS "F" , depending on the actual diversion
of northerly oriented trips.
Office Development Only
With development of the Austin Company' s 62 acres (Parcels A, C, and D)
into office builidng alone (without other new M-P development) , the
Grady/Lind intersection would operate at LOS "E" , or capacity, assuming
all scheduled street network improvements are implemented.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
Roadway System
I-405 is north of the proposed site and runs east-west, carrying four lanes
of traffic. I-405 intersects with Rainier Avenue S.W. with a cloverleaf
intrchange. Rainier Avenue S.W. north of Grady Way is an 80-foot, five-
lane urban arterial with six-foot sidewalks on each side. Rainier Avenue
S.W. south of Grady Way becomes a four-lane, limited access freeway called
the Valley Freeway or SR-167. Grady Way west of Lind Avenue S.W. is a
20-foot, two-lane road with shoulders on each side. From Lind Avenue S.W.
to Talbot Road, Grady Way is a 72-foot, four-lane road. Lind Avenue S.W.
north of Grady Way is a 47-foot, four-lane road with six-foot sidewalks,
and is reduced to two lanes between Grady Way and S.W. 16th Street, where
it crosses 1-405. South of S.W. 16th Street, Lind Avenue S.W. becomes a
four-lane street again. East Valley Road is parallel to Lind Avenue S.W.
and is a 22-foot street. It intersects with S.W. 41st Street served as a
ramp terminal junction of SR-167 ramps. South of S.W. 41st Street, East
Valley Road becomes a heavily traveled road intersecting with S.W. 43rd
Street, forming a busy intersection. S.W. 43rd Street runs east-west
carrying four lanes of traffic and is the primary east-west facility south
of the site.
Traffic Volume
Traffic counts by the City of Renton and the State of Washington Department
of Transportation were assembled and are shown in Figure 1. Some 1979
counts were expanded to 1980 level by utilizing historical growth trends
for that particular facility.
The intersection of Grady Way and Rainier Avenue S. operates at LOS "E" , or
at capacity during the peak hour. On Grady Way at Lind, the LOS is
somewhere between "C" and "D". Intersections of S.W. 41st Street and East
Valley Road, and S.W. 43rd Street and East Valley Road operate at LOS "C"
4
to "D" as well . Most other intersections in the vicinity operate at LOS
C" , "B" , or better. 1-405 in the area operates at capacity during both
morning and afternoon peak hours.
Transit Routes
Currently there are eight METRO bus routes which provide transit service to
this area. Routes 141, 154, 157, 240, 340, and 192 travel east- and
westbound along S.W. Grady Way. Routes 155, 156, 240, and 340 travel
north and south along Rainier Avenue S.W. Route 155 runs on S.W. 43rd
Street. No bus routes are available at present on Lind Avenue S.W. , S.W.
16th Street, or East Valley Road.
Roadway Improvements
There are several roadway improvement projects planned near the proposed
site. The projects are contained in the City of Renton' s Six-Year
Transportation Improvement Program dated December 3, 1979. Key among these
is the Valley Parkway, which would run from S.W. 43rd Street northward to
S. 140th Street, intersecting I-405. Other improvements as listed in the
Valley Office Industrial Park Traffic Study, dated January 1980 by
Christopher Brown can be summarized as follows:
S.W. 43rd Street from East Valley to West Valley Road
On the secondary or minor arterials, the improvement plan calls for
improvements on:
S.W. 27th Street from East Valley Parkway
S.W. 27th Street from Valley Parkway to West Valley Road
S.W. Grady Way Bridge from Longacres Drive to West Valley Road
S.W. Grady Way from Lind Avenue S.W. to Longacres Drive
Lind Avenue from S.W. 16th Street to S.W. Grady Way
5
On the collector arterial system, improvement programs are scheduled for:
East Valley Road from S.W. 16th Street to SR-167 Ramp
S.W. 16th Street from East Valley Road to Monster Road S.W.
Adjacent jurisdictions have scheduled various improvement programs that
will have some positive, if not measurable, effect. On the state highway
system these include:
Relocation and Reconstruction of SR-515 (1980)
Resurface SR••181, SR-516 to 1-405 (1982)
Construct 1/2 Diamond Interchange; 212th Street at SR-167 (1983)
Ramp Improvements; 84th Avenue at SR-167 (1981)
In the City of Kent, improvement programs, generally street widening and
arterial construction, are proposed for the East Valley Road, 80th Avenue
S. , N. 4th Avenue, and N. Central .
King County has no improvements scheduled on the current Six-Year
Transportation Improvement Plan for the general area.
Generally, capacity to the south via existing corridors, including SR-181 ,
SR-167, and the arterial facilities between these twe routes, will be
improved. To the north, the significant barrier will be Interstate 405 and
Grady Way. These facilities have been addressed in the City of Renton' s
Improvement Plan. Design studies currently are underway, including the
Valley Parkway to Grady Way and the Grady Way structure over the C.M. St.
P. & P. R.R. The Lind Avenue structure is given a very low priority.

TRAFFIC DEMAND AND TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
A standard transportation planning approach for forecasting travel
demand was followed using the following steps:
1. Trip Generation - Number of trips to be generated.
2. Modal Split - Percentage breakdown of selection of various
transportation modes.
3. Trip Distribution - Origins and destinations of trips to be generated.
4. Trip Assignment - Selection of most desirable routes for trips.
The area concerned is presently zoned to M-P (Manufacturing Park) with
permissive use of office buildings. Since trip generation characteristics
between manufacturing park and office building are significantly different,
conversion to office building use would generate more traffic from this
area than the M-P use would. The steps taken to estimate future traffic
levels from the two land uses are described below.
Trip Generation
Trip generation rates assembled by the Institute of Transportation
Engineers for different land uses are adopted by this study and are as
follows:
Average Weekday
Vehicle Trip Ends PM Peak Hour Trips
Trip Ends/ Trip Ends/ Trips/
Land Use Acre 1000 sq. ft. Trips/Acre 1000 sq. ft.
Warehousing/Mfg. 50.0 4.5 14.2 1.2
Office 276.6 21.0 47.7 2.4
7
Average Weekday Vehicle Trip Ends represents the weighted 24-hour total of
all vehicle trips counted to and from a study site on an average weekday.
Average Trip Rate for peak hour represents the weighted average trip rate
between 4 and 6 PM on a weekday.
The total area concerned consists of approximately 750 acres of M-P zoned
land, of which about 110 acres have been developed into warehouse/office .
Benaroya Business Park, Koll Center) , 20 acres into an oil storage.
facility, 20 acres into a Group Health facility,. 15 acres into Boeing
offices, and other mini-warehouses. The western part of the subject area,
about 190 acres in all , may have adverse soil conditions which, along with
the P-1 Drainage Channel and the Valley Parkway, could impair development.
It is believed that development of this sector would not occur in the near
future. The remaining sector, about 395 acres, may be developed in the
foreseeable future.
When the generation rates are applied to various development plans on the'
subject area, the daily and peak-hour trips can then be obtained. Four
different development alternatives have been developed for this study.
Case I is a development plan that calls for all 395 acres of land to be
developed into M-P use without any conversion for office use. . Case II is
an alternative consisting of 382.5 acres of M-P use and 12.5 acres (Parcel
A); of office use, for about 180,000 square feet of gross floor area. Case
III assumes 361 acres of M-P use and 34 acres (Tracts A and C) , or 454,000
square feet of office building floor area. . The last, alternative consists
of 333 acres of M-P use and 62 acres (Parcels A, C, and D), or 827,000
square feet of office building floor area.
Table 1 shows the estimated trip generation for the various development
alternatives.

Table 1 indicates that at full development, the Valley Industrial Park
would generate about '19,800 one-way trips per day (9,900 round trips) and
about 5,610 one-way trips during the evening peak hour (the directional
split is about 70%/30%, with the majority traveling away from the area
concerned) assuming all the available land (395 acres) is developed into
warehouse. Conversion of Parcel A's 12.5 acres of M-P zoned land into
office use as proposed would add approximately 3,100 one-way trips per day
and about 250 one-way trips during the PM peak hour. Traffic increases of
7,800 one-way trips per day and 610 one-way trips during PM peak hour may
be, expected should 34 acres of M-P zoned land (Parcels A and C) be
converted to office use.
Adjacent development along Grady Way will contribute additional traffic to
the street network. The proposed Earlington Park consists of 109.31 acres
of manufacturing park, and is expected to generate about 6,600 one-way
trips per day and about 1,020 one-way trips during the PM peak hour during
Phase I of the development. Phase II development would generate an
additional 8,015 one-way trips per day and about 1,050 one-way trips per PM
peak hour The 0/W officebuilding located just west of Raymond Avenue at
Grady Way consists of 97,000 gross square feet of leasable space. This
office has been occupied for a few months and the traffic contribution from.
this office would have been detected by recent traffic counts.
Modal Split
In transportation analysis of forecasted traffic volumes a certain
percentage of the trips are assigned to different modes of transportation.
such as transit, bicycle trips, or walking. In this study, however,
existing METRO bus routes operated on the periphery of the area concerned;
lack of pedestrian amenities will make transit use or walking unattractive
for prospective employees. In addition, to reflect "Worst Case"
conditions, none of the trips to the proposed site were assigned to transit
or bicycle, walking modes.
10
Trip Distribution
Table 2 illustrates the Employee Residence Distribution Pattern •as
contained in the Parkway Plaza Office Building Traffic Study and is adopted
by this study.
Trip Assignment
The trip assignments were made on both the existing and improved street
network. The key roadway links scheduled for construction which would help
in alleviating traffic impacts are improvements to Grady Way; S.W. 16th
Street; S.W. 43rd Street; and construction of S.W. 27th Street and the
Valley Parkway.
Without S.W. 27th Street and the Valley Parkway, approximately 20 to 35
percent of the site traffic (20% northwesterly and 15% northerly) would
probably enter the site using Lind Avenue off of Grady Way. This would
serve to aggravate an already congested condition along Grady Way and Lind
Avenue.
Traffic Analysis
The critical movement technique is used by this study to examine a group of
intersections to determine those most able to absorb the traffic increase
from the proposed project.
The intersection of Grady Way and Lind Avenue is- expected to be affected
the most by development from the Valley Industrial Park. Therefore, this
intersection is selected for an in-depth analysis by this study,
although other intersections were evaluated to determine future traffic
impact from the site.

At present, the intersection of Grady Way and Lind Avenue operates at LOS
D" and approaches capacity (LOS "E") . Should Lind Avenue be widened into
four lanes with left-turn lane atintersection, the subject intersection is
expected to operate at LOS "B".
Future traffic increase from Case I development (all M-P development) would. .
overload the subject intersection unless proposed street improvement
projects are implemented. After the improvement, the intersection is
likely to operate at capacity (LOS "E") even without any of the office
building construction.
Development of 12.5 acres of office building of Parcel A alone as proposed
by' the Austin Company at present time would not significantly downgrade the
LOS at the intersection provided the street improvements are implemented.
In fact, development of 34 acres of office building of Parcels C and D -
alone, the intersection is expected to continue to operate at LOS slightly,
worse than "B".
Should traffic with origin to the northeastern (15%) direction be diverted
from Lind Avenue to the S.W. 16th Street and Valley Parkway, the conditions
at the Grady/Lind intersection would be significantly improved. Table 3
summarizes the projected traffic volumes on south approach on Lind Avenue
at Grady Way intersection for various development schemes. The table also
shows what level of service may be expected at the intersection under
various conditions.

Dear Mr . Blaylock :
We are in receipt of your letter dated March 16, 1981,
indicating that the Environmental Review Committee wishes
additional comments from us on certain mitigating measures
relating to the site development plan for the above mentioned
project .
Upon reviewing our previous correspondence , we find that we
have addressed the majority of the issues (see letter attached
dated February 6, 1981, Exhibit A) ; however , we take this
opportunity to expand on our statements .
1. Construction of a pedestrian walkway on Lind Avenue
Southwest between Southwest Grady Way and Southwest 16th
Street .
Lind Avehue , for the most part , has very narrow and steeply
sloped shoulders which would present a problem in design
and construction. This condition would , no doubt , warrant
a post and cantilever type design. The bridge over
Interstate 405 has three (3) foot wide sidewalks on either
side which can' t be widened without reducing the roadway.
Considering the small amount of pedestrian traffic which we
have observed , we feel that this improvement could be
delayed ; however , should the City of Renton feel
differently, we would agree to participate in the cost of
the sidewalk installation according to our pro-rata share
of property owned in the Valley which would benefit from
such an improvement.
2. Providing a traffic signal at the intersection of Lind
Avenue- Southwest_ and Southwest 16th Street .
elf).
Mr . Roger J. Blaylock
March 26, 1981
Page Two
The signalization will apparently become necessary at somefuturedateasthesouthRentonareadevelops ; however , atthepresenttime , according to traffic studies as preparedbyChristopherBrownP. E. and Entranco Engineers, Inc . , theactualtrafficflowfromthevalley, plus a projectedtrafficflowfromtheproposedofficecomplex , would not
warrant a traffic signal . Again , however , we would supportthecostofinstallingasignal , should it be deemed
necessary. We would also assume that the cost would bedividedonapro-rata basis.
3. Widening of the southern leg of the intersection at
Southwest Grady Way and Lind Avenue Southwest to includeleftandrighthandturnlanes .
The Austin Company recognizes that the intersection of
Southwest Grady Way and Lind Avenue Southwest is one of the
ails facing the community. We would agree to participateinwideningLindAvenueSouthwesttoincorporatethe
turning lanes on the south side although, according to thetrafficstudiesmentionedabove, it is felt that unless
Grady Way and the intersection of Rainier and Grady Way areimproved ,- the work at Lind Avenue would be a needless
expense . In any event, the work south of Grady Way on LindAvenuewouldbenefiteveryoneinthevalley, includingLongacres , while work on Grady Way and/or Rainier would
benefit the entire city.
4. Location (approximate) of storm water drainage channel from
property limit at East Valley Road to intersection of LindAvenueSouthwestandproposedSouthwest19thStreet.
We are enclosing a sketch of the channel which we proposeforyourconsideration - see Exhibit B. -
We thank the Committee for this additional opportunity of
addressing the mitigating measures .
Should you have questions regarding our response , please feelfreetocontactme .
Very truly yours,

Subject: Proposed Austin Company Development
Application SA-092-80
Environmental Checklist ECF-602-80
Dear , Mr . Clemens:
We are in receipt of the publication generated by the
Environmental Review Committee in reference to our proposed
development of Lot No . 1 of the property currently owned by
Valley Office and Industrial Park, Inc . The property is
located between Lind Avenue Southwest and East Valley Road , and
bounded on the north by Southwest 16th Street and on the south
by Southwest 19th Street.
We take this opportunity of thanking the committee for its
position of openmindedness in offering us the opportunity to
respond to certain measures which were deemed significant to
the environment.
I
Since the concerns were listed in numerical order , we will
respond to each according to the numbering system identified in
the publication.
1. From the traffic study generated by Christopher Brown , P. E.
copy enclosed) , we understand that the traffic does not
meet the warrant__ critieria_ for a- traffic=signal at the
intersection of Southwest 16th Street and Lind Avenue
Southwest at this time, even considering a new four (4)
building complex . However, should the traffic signal be
deemed necessary, now or in the future, due to the further
development of the valley, we would certainly endorse the
improvement through paying our fair share of the costs. We
assume these costs would be based upon a pro-rata of land
owned in the valley.
Mr . David R. Clements
February 6, 1981
Page; Two
2. Ie concur that the intersection of Grady Way and LindAvenueSouthwestcouldbeconsideredabottleneck; however,the overriding consideration is the traffic flow on GradyWayitselfandtheeastandwestintersectionsoneithersideofLindAvenueSouthwest. We foresee that thecongestionatGradyWayandLindAvenueSouthwestcould bealleviatedtosomedegreebyprovisionofturninglanesfromLindAvenueontoGradyWay. As the valley develops ,this entire matter will become worse. We , therefore, wouldagreetoparticipateinimprovementasstatedunderaformulaasestablishedinitemNo . 1, above.
3. There is genuine concern , from many points of- view,regarding the pedestrian traffic now flowing on Lind AvenuefromSouthwestGradyWaytoSouthwest16thStreet. Many ofOuremployees, as well as those of other employers , utilizePublictransportation. During the winter months , thearrivalanddeparturetimesareinhoursofdarkness. Fortheprotectionofpedestrians, clear ., distinguishableWalkwaysshouldbeestablished . We are in accord to pay
our share according to a pro-rata distribution system as
mentioned in No . 1, above.
I
4. We understand the eventual need of improving the bridge
over 1-405; however , we understand that improvements to thebridge, without extensive work elsewhere to alleviate
traffic would , no doubt, be fruitless. Again, should this
development proceed based on the ultimate needs of theRentonValley, we would participate to the extent thatwouldbereasonablyexpectedofanylandownerinthe
valley.
5. We understand that any development on this site must
accommodate the storm drainage from other sites- untilL01.D. 314 becomes a reality. Therefore, we will address
the problem as an integrated part of our development
program. It is understood that when L. I.D. 314 is
implemented , or other measures are taken, the importance of
this matter will materially diminish or vanish altogether.
6. As a part of the initial development, a sidewalk along the
east side of Lind Avenue Southwest from Southwest 16thStreettoapointapproximately600feetsouth , will be
provided.

7. We plan to provide shower and dressing facilities at the
extremities of at least one building for the benefit of
joggers. In addition, a courtyard sidewalk system will beavailableforpassiverecreation, together with benches forthosewhowishtocontemplatenature. We feel that the
existing walkways on Lind Avenue , west side, are sufficientforthepresentandfuturejoggers.
We hope that the mitigating measures, as addressed above, willallowtheEnvironmentalReviewCommitteetoissueadeclarationofnon-significance. Should the committee require additional
supportive information concerning any of the mitigatingmeasures, we would be most pleased to discuss them.
Very truly yours ,

SA-092-80/ECF-602-80
Dear Mr . Blaylock :
We are in receipt of your letter dated March 16, 1981,
indicating that the Environmental Review Committee wishes
additional comments from us on certain mitigating measures
relating to the site development plan for the above mentioned
project .
Upon reviewing our previous correspondence , we find that we
have addressed the majority of the issues (see letter attached
dated February 6, 1981 , Exhibit A) ; however , we take this
opportunity to expand on our statements .
1. Construction of a pedestrian walkway on Lind Avenue
Southwest between Southwest Grady Way and Southwest 16th
Street .
Lind Avenue , for the most part , has very narrow and steeply
sloped shoulders which would present a problem in design
and construction . This condition would , no doubt , warrant
a post and cantilever type design. The bridge over
Interstate 405 has three (3) foot wide sidewalks on either
side which can ' t be widened without reducing the roadway.
Considering the small amount of pedestrian traffic which we
have observed , we feel that this improvement could be
delayed ; however , should the City of Renton feel
differently, we would agree to participate in the cost of
the sidewalk installation according to our pro-rata share
of property owned in the Valley which would benefit from
such an improvement.
2. Providing a traffic signal at the intersection of Lind
Avenue Southwest and Southwest 16th Street .

Mr . Roger J. Blaylock
March 26, 1981 vING r,
Page Two
The signalization will apparently become necessary at some
future date as the south Renton area develops ; however , at
the present time , according to traffic studies as prepared
by Christopher Brown P. E. and Entranco Engineers , Inc . , the
actual traffic flow from the valley, plus a projected
traffic flow from the proposed office complex , would not
warrant a traffic signal . Again , however , we would support
the cost of installing a signal , should it be deemed
necessary. We would also assume that the cost would be
divided on a pro-rata basis .
3. Widening of the southern leg of the intersection at
Southwest Grady Way and Lind Avenue Southwest to include
left and right hand turn lanes .
The Austin Company recognizes that the intersection of
Southwest Grady Way and Lind Avenue Southwest is one of the
ails facing the community. We would agree to participate
in widening Lind Avenue Southwest to incorporate the
turning lanes on the south side although, according to the
traffic studies mentioned above , it is felt that unless
Grady Way and the intersection of Rainier and Grady Way are
improved , the work at Lind Avenue would be a needless
expense . In any event , the work south of Grady Way on Lind
Avenue would benefit everyone in the valley, including
Longacres , while work on Grady Way and/or Rainier would
benefit the entire city.
4. Location (approximate) of storm water drainage channel from
property limit at East Valley Road to intersection of Lind
Avenue Southwest and proposed Southwest 19th Street .
We are enclosing a sketch of the channel which we propose
for your consideration - see Exhibit B.
We thank the Committee for this additional opportunity of
addressing the mitigating measures .
Should you have questions regarding our response , please feel
free to contact me .
Very truly yours ,

Dear Mr . Clemens:
We are in receipt of the publication generated by the
Environmental Review Committee in reference to our proposed
development of Lot No . 1 of the property currently owned by
Valley Office and Industrial Park, Inc . The property is
located between Lind Avenue Southwest and East Valley Road , and
bounded on the north by Southwest 16th Street and on the south
by Southwest 19th Street.
We take this opportunity of thanking the committee for its
position of openmindedness in offering us the opportunity to

2. We concur that the intersection of Grady Way and Lind
Avenue Southwest could be considered a bottleneck; however ,
the overriding consideration is the traffic flow on Grady
Way itself and the east and west intersections on either
side of Lind Avenue Southwest . We foresee that the
congestion at Grady Way and Lind Avenue Southwest could be
alleviated to some degree by provision of turning lanes
from Lind Avenue onto Grady Way. As the valley develops ,
this entire matter will become worse . We , therefore, would
agree to participate in improvement as stated under a
formula as established in item No . 1, above. -
3. There is genuine concern, from many points of view,
regarding the pedestrian traffic now flowing on Lind Avenue
from Southwest Grady Way to Southwest 16th Street. Many of
our employees, as well as those of other employers , utilize
public transportation. During the winter months, the
arrival and departure times are in hours of darkness. For
the protection of pedestrians , clear , distinguishable
walkways should be established . We are in accord to pay
our share according to a pro-rata distribution system as
mentioned in No . 1, above.
4. We understand the eventual need of improving the bridge
over I-405; however , we understand that improvements to the
bridge, without extensive work elsewhere to alleviate
traffic would , no doubt, be fruitless . Again, should this
development proceed based on the ultimate needs of the
Renton Valley, we would participate to the extent that
would be reasonably expected of any land owner in the
valley.
5. We understand that any development on this site must
accommodate the storm drainage from other sites until
L. I.D. 314 becomes a reality. Therefore , we will address
the problem as an integrated part of our development
program. It is understood that when L. I.D. 314 is
implemented , or other measures are taken, the importance of
this matter will materially. diminish or vanish altogether.
6. As a part of the initial development, a sidewalk along the
east side of Lind Avenue Southwest from Southwest 16th
Street to a point approximately 600 feet south, will be
provided.

7. We plan to provide shower and dressing facilities at the
extremities of at least one building for the benefit of
joggers. In addition, a courtyard sidewalk system will be
available for passive recreation, together with benches for
those who wish to contemplate nature . We feel that the
existing walkways on Lind Avenue , west side , are sufficient
for the present and future joggers.
We hope that the mitigating measures , as addressed above, will
allow the Environmental Review Committee to issue a declaration
of non—significance,. Should the committee require additional
supportive information concerning any of the mitigating
measures, we would be most pleased to discuss them.

Attention : Mr . David R. Clemens
Acting Planning Director
Subject : City of Renton
Wetlands Study
Gentlemen :
During our meeting held in your office on February 19, 1981 , we
discussed with you various topics concerning the ultimate
development of our land .
One of these was the pond situated in the southeast corner of
our property immediately north of proposed Southwest 19th
Street. It was stated that you hoped that we would be able to
find some means of developing the southern portion of the plot
so that all or a portion of the pond could be preserved . While
this could be a possibility, its fit into financially viable
solutions for development is dubious . For this reason , we
included in our booklet, addressed to the Environmental Review
Committee and dated February 23, 1981, alternate methods of
handling storm water runoff and the disposition of the pond .
It was felt that the proposed solutions alleviated the Hearing
Examiner ' s requirement to maintain an easement on our property.
The property where the pond is located indicates the remains of
fence lines which lead one to believe that this property was
farmed at one time . The sole reason for the pond being formed
or enlarged , as we now see it , stems from a probable original
underdesign and recent blockage of the culverts under Lind
Avenue . Our proposals would cure the situation.
Because of the above , we are surprised to learn that the
re-issue of the "Wetlands Study" still refers to our property
as a possible wetlands preservation.
City of Renton
March 18, 1981
Page 2
We have also discussed the possibility of trading our + five
5) acre plot south of Southwest 19th Street , adjacent to East
Valley Road , to the City of Renton to be retained as wetlands
in return for your tract located at the southeast intersection
of Southwest 19th Street and Lind Avenue . This would allow the
City of Renton to accomplish its aim as stated in the "Wetlands
Study" , dated February, 1981, Page 21 - Unit B --- East Valley
Wetlands.
The prevention of placing speculative fill in the valley, as
presented at the Town Meeting of March 3, 1981, would greatly
hinder efforts to develop any type of construction project due
to the unacceptable time elements introduced by beginning a
project with the fill application. It is our experience that
clients are simply not willing to wait long periods of time to
locate in new facilities when the need arises . The City of
Renton and Austin would be equally disappointed to have this
potential migrate to other surrounding communities .
Again , we thank you for the opportunity to express our feelings
regarding the development of the City of Renton.
Very truly yours ,

Dear Mr . Hemstreet :
The Environmental Review Committee has re-evaluated their pro-
posed Declaration of Significance issued on January 25 , 1981 ,
for the 200 ,000 square foot , Valley Office Park II complex and
modified and clarified the mitigating measures to read as
follows :
1) Construction of a pedestrian walkway between S .W. Grady
Way and the proposed complex ;
2) Signalization of the intersection of S.W. 16th Street
and Lind Avenue S .W. ;
3) Improvement of the south and west legs of the inter-
section of S.W. Grady Way and Lind Avenue S .W. ; and
4) Designation of a storm water drainage channel across
the southern portion of the 40-acre, short-plat site .
The Environmental Review Committee would appreciate your written
comments prior to the issuing a final declaration . The item
has been placed on the agenda as a pending item to be brought
up as soon as you reply .

Dear Mr . Blaylock :
Thank you for your letter of February 13, 1981, concerning our
proposed development of Lot #1 of Short Plat 085-80.
It is our intention to develop Lot #1 (12. 3 acres) and design
arid construct a four (4) building complex on the property
housing approximately two hundred thousand (200, 000) sq ft .
The space will be equally divided amongst four two-story
buildings . We intend to construct all four (4) buildings in a
single phase .
In addition , the property will be designed to accommodate the
necessary parking to meet City of Renton requirements , and to
meet mitigating measures for landscaping and recreation as per
our previous correspondence. The traffic studies , previously
submitted , indicate that the impact of the four (4) building
complex has such little effect on the current roadway system
that changes are not required at this time . We have also
stated , in previous correspondence , that we would be willing to
participate in future roadway improvements , on a fair share
basis , as the valley develops .
We thank you for the opportunity of submitting this additional
information, and trust that our response will allow the
Committee to render a decision of non-significance.

Dear Mr. Chiado:
The Environmental Review Committee during the past four
months has been considering environmental determination for
Austin Company' s proposed project. It is unclear at this
time what that specific project is. The Committee would
like a clarification of the project and if there are any
phases involved in that project. In addition, if there are
phases involved in that project, please be specific and
designate which mitigating traffic measures your company
would be willing to undertake at each phase of construction.
The Committee would like to make a final determination at
their meeting of February 18th. Comments can be submitted
back to us until 5: 00 p.m. on February 17th.

this matter will materially diminish or vanish altogether .
6. As a part of the initial development, a sidewalk along the
east side of Lind Avenue Southwest from Southwest 16th
Street to a point approximately 600 feet south, will be
provided .

7. We plan to provide shower and dressing facilities at the
extremities of at least one building for the benefit of
joggers . In addition, a courtyard sidewalk system will be
available for passive recreation, together with benches for
those who wish to contemplate nature. We feel that the
existing walkways on Lind Avenue , west side , are sufficient
for the present and future joggers.
We hope that the mitigating measures , as addressed above, will
allow the Environmental Review Committee to issue a declaration
of non-significance. Should the committee require additional
supportive information concerning any of the mitigating
measures , we would be most pleased to discuss them.

MEMORANDUM
January 6, 1981
TO: Environmental Review Committee
FROM: Gene N. Williams, Assistant Planner
RE: Valley Office Park II, Site Approval
There are a couple of concerns that should be brought to the
attention of the ERC. First of all, the short plat which includes
this property has not been filed. So there is a question of whether
this application should be considered until the plat is recorded.
Secondly, the Hearing Examiner required the dedication of
easements on the face of the plat to preserve the natural drainage
and the existing pond on the site. The City should insure that
this provision is met before considering a site approval, or
the environmental determination for the site approval should require
the dedication of .these easements. Also, in the site approval
process, the site design should be examined to minimize impacts to
wildlife that use the nearby pond.

Subject : Valley Office Park - Complex II
Renton , Washington
Dear Mr . Erickson:
In response to your letter of November 17 , 1980 , we are
pleased to submit the following additional information in
support of our desired Site Development Plan .
I .) We engaged Mr . R. Hintz, A. I .COP. , private consultant ,
to prepare a report addressing the question of
recreational facilities and their impact on the
proposed Complex II development . Attached please find
two (2) copies of his report.
2. ) The remaining outstanding point in your letter
pertained to drainage , with specific reference made to
the remaining 16 acres. Northwest Commercial Real
Estate Company has an option only on Lot 1 of the short
plat now being processed . Lots 2, 3 and 4 of the short
plat will presumably be developed some time in the
future by the Valley Office and Industrial Park, Inc .
and the site development process entered into at that
time . The entire Lot 1 is covered under a current fill
permit and there is no existing wetland area nor any
retention of off-site generated storm water .
The effect of LID 314 on Lot 1 is very minor . There
are several 12" drains crossing SW 16th Street and
discharging onto Lot 1. The LID 314 will include a
storm drain intended to pick up these existing drains .
In the event that our proposed development is
constructed in advance of the LID, these existing
drains will be connected into our system as an interim
solution .
Mr. Gordon Y. Erickson
December 23 , 1930
Page Two
The proposed project will be designed in accordance
with Renton and ,King County storm runoff retention
criteria . it is planned to use surface retention in
the parking lots, similar to the system used on the
adjacent property in the Boeing Valley Office Park.
The effect of LID 314 on Lots 2, 3 and 4 , which we feel
is not part of this particular application , cannot be
determined at this point as we are informed the
drainage concept for LID 314 remains under study. We
believe that the flooding occurring in Lots 2, 3 and 4
of our short plat can be attributed , to a large degree ,
to the abandoning of two-thirds (2/3) of the outflow
capacity of the site under Lind Avenue and SW 21st
Street when LID 302 was implemented . This situation
has placed our property (Lot 1) and the remaining
property of Valley Office and Industrial Park Inc .
Lots 2, 3 and 4) in the position of defending the
right to develop property which has been encumbered by
runoff from others storm water .
We hope the foregoing will serve to aid the committee in
arriving at a decision that will not require an impact
statement on our part to develop this plot now and in the
future .

Dear Mr. Fox:
In response to your request, I have investigated recent
trends in industrial recreation, particularly with respect to
physical facilities provided by the private sector. It is
understood that the city of Renton Mivi.ronmental Review Comm-
ittee has expressed concern via the Planning Department, about
the possible impact of increased daytime recreational demand
resulting from the approval of The Austin Company' s Valley
Office and Industrial Park, Subdivision #2 and subsequent con-
struction of a 192000 square foot office building to accommo-
date 1840 office workers, together with accessory open parking
space for 968 vehicles.
Walkers and joggers may be observed at midday using Land
Ave. roadway and the surfaced walkway on the western side of
that street. Lind Ave. carries very little vehicular traffic
except during peak A.M. and P.M. commuting times, when traffic
is heavy. However, as property is developed to the south, in-
creased vehicular traffic spread over a larger portion of the
day may be anticipated. Currently, noon time pedestrian activity
along Lind Ave. is generated by employees from existing adjacent
development, including the Boeing leased space, Group Health
and The Austin Company.
2-
Recreational facilities programs for industrial employees
when supplied and sponsored by private industry are usually a
direct result of company policy to improve employee relations
and increase worker efficiency. The degree of involvement in
such programs varies considerably from company to company, but
generally is greatest with larger, multi-division companies
having employees numbering in the thousands.
Supplying of employee recreation facilities by private
industry may be imposed by local government as a trade-off for
approving proposed development, usually at the time the property
is rezoned, but if not then, at any time a discretionary permit
is involved. The theory here is that the proposed development,
either directly or cumulativelyDgenerates a demand for the fac-
ilities or services, and if the demand is not satisfied in
whole or part at the time of generation, the increased demand
impacts existing local government facilities or builds pressure
for new facilities or services.
A survey of existing company recreation facilities reveals
that most have been provided voluntarily, usually stemming from
company policy and a comprehensive employees, services program.
Facilities for both passive and active recreation are typically
provided, with better employee morale, health and efficiency
the objectives. Employee services include cultural activity
programs, service activity programs and social activity programs,
some of which require no special facilities. Other large com-
panies have provided private employee parks. The National
Industrial Recreation Association cites the followins. companies
3-
as having purchased and developed private parks and recreation
facilities for use of employees and their families: Sunstrand
Co. , Rockford, Ill. ; 3M Company, Lake Elmo, Minn. ; State Farm
Insurance Company, Bloomington, Ill. ; Hughes Aircraft Corp. ,
Fullerton, Calif. ; and Dofasco of Hamilton, Hamilton, Ontario,
Canada. In some cases the facilities are operated by an em-
ployee association and membership fees are required. Notable
local examples can be found with the Boeing and 1Teyerhauser
companies, Puget Sound Shipyard, Pacific Northwest Bell, and
SeaFirst. Local examples of employee recreation facilities
provided by the developer as requirement for permit approval
are more limited, but include the following:
1. Harbor Square Industrial Park, a project of the Port
of Edmonds, Edmonds, Washington. Here a 25 foot strip connec-
ting to a natural marsh area was reserved as required open
space and a walking jogging path will be developed, all as a
condition of the rezone by the Edmonds City Council, to permit
the industrial park development.
2. Bellevue Business Park by Cabbot, Cabbot and Forbes.
Rezoning for this planned 89 acre ind )strial park (the former
Bellevue Airport) was conditioned upon the developers providing
a surrounding buffer strip containing a jogging path, and a
monetary contribution to develop as a recreational park near-by
undeveloped park property.
Not surprisingly, a survey of both planning and park-re-
creation literature reveals that no standards have been estab-
lished for office/industrial employee recreation. However a
good deal of thought and discussion have been devoted to the
4-
subject. Because of the wide range of variables that can be
involved, it is improbable that any realistic standards can
be developed or accepted. Most agree, however, that there is
an obvious causal relationship between number of employees and
demand for employee recreational facilities, both active and
passive. The increasing emphasis on employee physical fitness
and recognition of the benefits therefrom have stimulated the
development of both programs and facilities on or near the job
site, and accounts for the popularity of walking and jogging
as an activity to break up the work day.
Also, as a part of this investigation, interviews were
conducted with planning and recreation officials from King
County, Seattle and several other municipalities in the metro-
politan area. None of the jurisdictions reported having a
specific policy or standards applicable to private industrial
recreation and none knew of such policies or requirements to
be in effect in any other community.
The Valley Office and Industrial Park #2 is located at
the southwest corner of Lind Ave. and S. V.. 16th Street. The
site and surrounding land has been zoned for Heavy Industry, but
the development trend is to office, warehousing and light indus-
try use. The structure and use proposed by The Austin Company
will provide work space for 1840 sedentary employees, an unknown
number of whom will seek or engage in physical exercise during
the work day. In clement weather an unpredictable number would
desire and use outdoor space away from the work environment for
lunching, relaxation and conversation.
5-
9
While the size, capacity and general use of the proposed
building are known, the building is being constructed for lease
and the tenant and its policies on employee recreation are not
known. Under the circumstances, and in recognition that the
availability of facilities will foster their use, any of the
following options should be considered as a reasonable mitigation
of the unquantifiable impacts on recreation demand resulting
from concentrating 1840 employees at this relatively isolated
site.
1. Provide benches and picnic tables in the proposed
courtyard and in any other appropriate landscaped space; depend
upon existing and emergent street walkways for use of walkers
and joggers.
2. Consider development of a portion of the roof area
with benches, tables, planting tubs and surface game areas.
3. Upon completion of tqe proposed LID drainage project,
provide surfaced walkways in the streets adjacent to the site.
These should be of sufficient width to accommodate walkers and
joggers and will provide connections to other street walkways
as the property is developed to the south.
4. Consider installing a shower and limited locker space
in one toilet facility for each sex on the ground floor of the
proposed building, to serve employees who would jog on existing
or future facilities, or allocate space and provide rough plum-
bing for later installation of showers: should the need be shown.
5. Designate, by painting, a walking or jogging lane in a
selected appropriate location in the parking area.

will be helpful to you and Renton' s Environmental Review Comm-

L

question of impact on the remaining land to the south, or
impact of L.I.D. 314 , would be minimal . Should L.I.D. 314 not
proceed before Complex II is complete, we can see no apparent
consequence other than routing storm water , which currently
collects on our property, south along the easterly property
line and , ultimately, onto the southern half of the site as it
does now.
We fully understand your concern for the need of recreational
facilities. There currently exists ample opportunity for
walkers and joggers to utilize the sidewalks or bicycle paths
along Lind Avenue Southwest. When L.I.D. 314 proceeds, this
opportunity will be enlarged to include the eastern and
southern boundaries of our general site . In addition , we plan
to include benches and walkways within the confines of the
Complex to serve those of a passive nature .
We trust that the foregoing will serve to aid the committee in
arriving at a decision that will not require an impact
statement.
The Austin Company wants to work closely with the committee , if
possible , as we have a large interest in also assuring that the
valley is developed properly for the betterment of the
community.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Dear Mr. Hemstreet:
The Environmental—Review C_ommittee_has_ taken into
consideration the additional information which has
been submitted on the above project. The statements
addressing drainage and recreational mitigating measures
are very general and are not supported by any quanitative
data.
The Committee' s intent in their correspondence of
September 12, 1980 was to provide the applicant with
an opportunity to submit additional information prior
to the Committee making a threshold determination. If
sufficient environmental information is not available
the Committee could require that an environmental impact
statement be prepared to disclose all possible impacts.
The Committee has continued the item to allow your firm
adequate time to submit additional quanitative information
concerning both drainage and recreational impacts.
If you have any further questions, please contact this

RE : VALLEY OFFICE PARK NUMBER 2/ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Dear Mr . Butcher :
The Environmental Review Committee considered the material
presented concerning the impacts of the proposed Valley Office
Park #2 upon the City of Renton . Their conclusion was that
insufficient information is available to determine if an
impact statement is warranted or not. Therefore, they have
requested specific information from the Austin Company con-
cerning the following areas :
1 . A full traffic analysis of impacts of both on-site
generated traffic and the general area . The studied
boundaries will include S .W. Grady Way on the north,
East Valley Highway on the east , S .W. 43rd Street
on the south , and the proposed Valley Parkway on
the west . This analysis should address not only
the proposed site plan approval for lot #1 but
also the maximum potential development on the
other three lots .
2 . A drainage analysis of the area showing the impacts
of LID 314 upon the subject site including the
remaining 16 acres, what impacts will result on
the wetlands and potential greenbelt areas through
the development . This should include a proposal
of mitigating measures to possibly retain or in-
corporate into the development wetlands or greenbelt .
3 . An analysis of the recreational impact from the
increase of office workers for daytime recreation .
The primary concerns are for active noontime recreation
where masses of employees need recreational
opportunities , this could include both active and
passive recreation . Mitigating measures both on-site
and off-site should be evaluated.
Letter to Mr . Wes Butcher
September 12 , 1980

The Environmental Review Committee will hold the application
in abeyance until the necessary information is provided .

please contact me at 235-2550 .

PROPOSED DECLARATION OF SIGNIFICANCE
Application No(s) : SA-092-80
Environmental Checklist No: ECF-602-80
Description of Proposal: Site Approval application
of four 2-story office
building complexes
Proponent: The Austin Company
Location of Proposal:Southwest corner
of Lind Ave. S.W.
and S.W. 16th St.
Lead Agency: Renton Planning Department
This proposal was reviewed by the ERC on January 14 , 1981 ,
following a presentation by David Clemens of the Planning
Department.
Incorporated by reference in the record of the proceedings
of the ERC on application ECF-602-80 are the following :
1 ) Environmental Checklist Review Sheet, prepared by:
Roger J. Blaylock DATED: September 8, 1980
2) Applications : SA-092-80
3) Recommendations for a declaration of non-significance:
Recommendations for a declaration of non-significance
were made by Traffic Engineering, Planning and Police
Departments. A declaration of significance was recommended
by the Fire Department. More information was recommended
by Building and Parks Departments .
Acting as the Responsible Official, the ERC has determined
this development does have significant adverse impact on
the environment. An EIS is required under RCW 43. 21C. 030 (2)
c) . This decision was made after review by the lead agency
of a complete environmental checklist and other information
on file with the lead agency.
Reasons for declaration of environmental significance:
The proposed project is of such size and scope that it will
substantially impact adjacent and surrounding properties
in areas of traffic , storm drainage and recreation.
Measures , if any, that could be taken to prevent or mitigate
the environmental impacts to such an extent that the lead
agency would withdraw its declaration of significance and
issue a declaration of non-significance.
Identify mitigating measures for:
1 ) Traffic impacts at S.W. 16th and Lind Avenue S.W. signal.
2) Traffic capacity improvements on S.W. Grady Way and
Lind Avenue S.W.
3) Pedestrian access from S.W. Grady Way and Lind Avenue
S.W.
4 ) Contribution to I-405 bridge improvements.
PROPOSED DECLARATION OF SIGNIFICANCE CONTINUED
Application No (s) : SA-092-80

1) The Austin Co. has already addressed the problem of the improvement of
SW 16th & Lind SW, by agreeing to participate in the current LID in the
area. However, if for some reason the LID is not completed or started
prior to completion of the building, the Austin Co. should improve the
SE and NE corners of the intersection to help traffic flow.
2) The intersection of Lind SW & Grady Way S. has been pointed out to be
a bottleneck at this point. The addition of another office building
at SW 16th & Lind SW can only make this bottleneck worse. Therefore,
it is recommended that the Austin Co. help add one lane northbound at
the intersection so that traffic may flow better in the afternoon. This
recommendation does not include curb and gutter, rather just the paving
of the shoulder so that right turns can be made freely without having to
wait for the straight through traffic to receive a green light.
3) Any lightingin the parking lot or around the building be placed so that
it shines in onto the building. This makes it easier for police officers
when responding to calls late at night, in that they are not blinded by
the light shining out at them, and they are not looking directly into
light and at a disa antage if they have to surround the building on a
silent alarm ca hostage-type call.

Subject : Fill and Development Limits
on VO & IP Subdivision No . 2
Dear Mr . Gonnason :
As ,you are aware , we are preparing a site development plan for
Lot 1 of proposed valley Office and Industrial park,
Subdivision No . 2 . The area generally included in Lot 1 is .
currently being filled under a Renton permit limiting fill to
the "north half" of the site . Considering "north half" to be
an inexact term for an irregular area , and with the box culvert
under SR 167 discharging north of the midpoint of the lot , we
request that you consider the south lot 'line of Lot 1 to be
acceptable for the filled limits . The area of Lot 1 plus the
area north of the Caraccioli tract is 14 .0 acres, with the
total subdivision acreage being 28 . 3 acres .
We appreciate your consideration in this matter .
Very truly yours,
Paul S. Chiado

COMMENTS :
Introduction The State Environmental Policy Act of 1971 , Chapter 43.21C, R.CW, 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 afftecting 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.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
September 5, 1980
EXHIBIT A
1 . The complex consists of four 2-story buildings situated in a
quadrangle . Each building contains approximately 46, 000 sq.
ft. of area equally divided between two floors. The office
area is lighted and the space conditioned through the use of
heating and air-conditioning equipment. The court which is
created by the quadrangle will be landscaped with greenery
and intermingled with pedestrian walkways . The buildings are
designed with personnel flow to be provided by stair towers
and elevators. The exterior of the quadrangle between the
buildings and the public roadways is landscaped, including
the parking area .
2. The site is located within the southeast quadrant commencing
at the intersection of Lind Avenue Southwest and Southwest
16th Street . The first vehicular entrance to the site off of
Lind Avenue Southwest is located approximately 890 feet from
Interstate 405. The parcel of land , which is zoned as Heavy
Industrial , encompasses approximately 12 acres . The site is
currently being filled under an active fill permit.
The site is surrounded by warehouse and industrial type
buildings to the north and east. To the east and facing East
Valley Road, (Highway S-167) , but within the same block are
some foundations from an old residence. To the south, rough
road fill has been placed for development of Southwest 19th
Street , under LID #314. West of subject site and across Lind
Avenue S.W. , is located the Boeing Valley Office Park Complex
of four two-story buildings, while to west of that and across
Raymond Avenue S.W. , the parcel of land is owned by the Group
Health Cooperative on which they have constructed a warehouse
office and distribution center . Across Southwest 16th Street
on the north side , the Northwest District Office of The
Austin Company is located . To the north of the Boeing Valley
EXHIBIT A
Page Two
Office Park on the north side of Southwest 16th Street, there
is A lumber yard , an older residence together with an
electrical contractors facility. Directly north of subject
site and across the street there is located a carpet and
drapery facility, disposal firm, coffee distributor and Dave
and Swede' s Service Station and Garage.
Because of the esthetics which are being considered for this
proposal , it is believed that it will enhance the
surroundings and could develop into a focal point for this
area of the Kent Valley.
aCk
ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
EXHIBIT B
1. Soil tests have been taken on an adjacent site , just west of
Lind Avenue Southwest , (Boeing Valley Office Park) . Borings
are yet to be taken on subject site . But due to criteria
established by soil test across the street it is anticipated
that it will be necessary to use piling and pile cap in
support of the building loads, (subject to soil test reports
from borings) .
It is anticipated that the piling will penetrate approxima-
tely 35 feet to subsoil which is capable of sustaining the
building load . The building will be elevated to a level
consistent with the surrounding finished road grades to
assist in overcoming the possibility of flooding . Certain
cuts and fills will be required to accommodate the parking
areas, and trenches will have to be dug and backfilled to
accommodate all utility piping and distribution. During the
course of construction the site will be watered as necessary
to prevent any corrosion of the existing soils, and to
prevent winds from carrying soils to adjacent properties.
All of the undeveloped area will be seeded or developed as
landscaped area to assist in stabilizing the soil structure.
2. It is possible that some disruption and displacement will
occur during the course of construction; however , all back-
fill of trenching will be compacted.
3. There will be a change in topography due to the fill pro-
cedures as described in Paragraph II, 1 , a, above. Although
the topography is changed to a minor degree , the new relief
features such as the building itself, the landscaping and the
paved areas all lend themselves to enhancing the property in
the surrounding areas.
EXHIBIT B
Page Two
4. During construction it is possible that there could be an
erosion of existing soils due to wind or water . However , as
previously explained under Paragraph II, 1 , a, above, methods
will be employed to reduce any possible erosion to a minimum.
The possible erosion condition will not last any longer than
four months .
5. It is envisioned that natural gas will be utilized to ade-
quately heat the structure . The proper venting of the
heating units , to some limited degree , may affect the air
quality. Manufacturers of gas fired heating units design
their equipment to maximize a complete ignition and combus-
tion of the fuel source . This precaution minimizes the
possibility of any pollutants being discharged into the out-
side air . It is evident that there will be increased motor
traffic in the area , thereby increasing automotive emissions
in conjunction with what we know as transportation today. It
is possible that in the future the mode of transportation
will change due to lack of fuel sources.
6. The proposed facility will cover a limited area and, together
with the impervious parking area , the absorption rate of the
surrounding areas will be moderately changed .
7. Due to minimal trenching and fill involved in the development
of the site , there may be limited temporary alterations to
the course or flow of flood waters. This situation would
only exist during the initial four months of the construction
period . This proposal contains design requirements which
satisfy the "Requirements and Guidelines for Storm Drainage
Control in King County" as prepared by the King County
Division of Hydraulics dated May, 1979. The proposal site
design provides on-site drainage to retention surface areas
and to a ditch and culvert under Lind Avenue Southwest and
S LS
EXHIBIT B
Page Three
ditch to the west. This parcel of land is considerably
smaller than the 50 acre governing area and, consequently,
produces considerably less than 20 cu. ft. per second allowed
during the ten year flood design frequency. The
concentration of rainfall has been calculated based on
parameters set forth in the above mentioned reference manual .
8. Earth fill on site is now almost complete under a previously
issued fill permit.
9. There will be increased noise levels during the course of
construction due to the operation of earthmoving equipment
and other construction devices. During the period of filling
the site , there will be some noise from diesel trucks which
are employed to transport the fill . This type of noise
should not be offensive to the surrounding neighborhood as
most of the developed property in the area is subject to the
same fill requirements. Upon completion of the project,
there will no doubt be an increase in noise levels due to
morning and later afternoon traffic created by the coming and
going of the occupant' s staff .
10. This parcel of land is within an existing zone that is
classified for Heavy Industrial usage. The entire parcel , at
present , is unimproved and ready for development.
11. As previously mentioned, this complex will utilize natural
gas as an energy source to heat the facility. When the
equipment is properly designed and functions with adequate
venting , there is virtually no possibility of an explosion.
Obviously, there are gas explosions occurring in commercial
and industrial facilities and even in private homes from time
to time; however , most such occurrences could be eliminated
through proper maintenance.

12. There will be a heavier concentration of people who will be
Working in this immediate area . However , the majority of
them are already employed in the vicinity of Renton.
13. As stated in Paragraph II, 11 , above, the majority of the
people who will be housed in this facility, we assume,
already have permanent residential quarters in the Greater
Seattle Area.
14. This office complex will provide for 920 automobiles on the
site . The road systems surrounding the site are adequately
designed for this traffic flow. The larger companies
generally stagger their work start times so as to minimize
congestion on the streets at any specific time. The Metro
transit system will work with large employers to tailor
special means of transportation for their employees, thus
reducing vehicular impact. Presently Metro Transit stops at
Grady Way and Lind Avenue Southwest , which is some 1500 feet
from the site. Large employers also encourage employee
carpooling and the use of any other means of mass transit.
They are capable of imposing acceptable programs on their
employees that result in the minimization of traffic impact.
Furthermore , the existing street facilities of Southwest 16th
Street , Rainier Avenue and Lind Avenue are adequate to handle
the anticipated traffic load. This is evidenced nearly every
day by the ability of the nearby racing facility and Boeing
Valley Office Park to dissipate a considerable volume of
traffic within a short period of time. The existing street
system allows traffic to flow from the site of the proposed
complex to Highway 167 via existing roadways . A secondary
means of egress is available utilizing Lind Avenue to Grady
Way and , ultimately, to Highway 405 as well as the West
Valley Highway. The overall projected vehicular impact
should also consider the growth of mass transporation
Ria

Page Five
systems, vis-a-vis the private automobile - its use andY
future as we know it today. Given the limited availability
and cost of fossil fuel , the continued degree of use of the
private automobile as primary work transportation will
probably lessen in the future. Therefore , planning for
impact should consider these changes and developments.
15. The demand for parking will increase as indicated in
Paragraph II, 13, a , above. However , all of the new demand
will be accommodated on site .
16. The increased tax base from the project will justify and
support an expanded mass transport system. See Paragraph II,
13, a, above.
17. Increased traffic of any kind may give rise to some potential
increased danger to bicycle or pedestrian traffic . It should
be said , however , that this area is not primarily residential
in character and this facility should not influence any
changes that would result in pedestrian or bicycle traffic .
18. The proposed facilities will fall under the jurisdiction of
the City of Renton Fire Department. Access to the site is
excellent and should not represent any unusual risks or
danger with respect to adequately protecting the facility.
19. There may be some need for increased police protection due to
the presence of the new office facilities . However , this
should be negligible . After hours , night time and weekends,
larger firms generally provide their own building security
forces.
a
EXHIBIT B
Page Six
20. As indicated in Paragraph II, 13, a, above, increased
vehicular traffic may result in the need for increased
regular maintenance of the road systems. Road use is not
anticipated to be unusual with respect to weight limits and ,
therefore , should not be adversely affected by this proposed
development.
21 . The amount of fuel or electrical energy which will be consum—
med by this facility is well within the norms established in
the industry for office applications.
22. The office development will primarily result in an increase
in demand of electrical energy. This demand will not be
inordinate or unusual with regard to the scope , size or
design of the office building . The office project should not
require the development of any new sources of energy since
adequate power sources are available to the site .
23. The need for the creation of new systems for power , communi—
cations , water , sanitary sewer , storm sewer or solid waste
disposal is not anticipated. The only modification necessary
would be the normal connection to existing adquate systems.
However , should LID No . 314 not be implemented within
reasonable period of time then modification to existing sewer
lift station at Lind and 19th would be required .
24. The proposed office complex will enhance the esthetics of the
area and will be pleasing to the neighborhood.
25. During lunch hours or possibly after work, some tenant
employees may elect to use nearby recreational facilities
such as parks, stadiums, etc . Fort Dent Park or Renton' s
parks could be used on a warm summer day as picnic areas for
lunch or after working hours.
