REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION. •
APPLICANT: Valley Office & Industrial Park, Inc. FILE NO. SP-424-79
LOCATION: Located on the south side of S.W. 16th Street between Lind
• Avenue S.W. and Raymond Avenue S.W.
•
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Applicant requests a special permit, pursuant to the city's
' Mining, Excavation .and Grading Ordinance, Chapter-23, to allow
approximately two to three feet of fill, together with grading,
on an approximate 7.8 acre site. The site was previously
filled to an average elevation of 16 feet, and an additional
50,000 cubic yards of fill is proposed to meet an average
finished grade of 18 feet. Approximately one-third of the
proposed filled area will be utilized for a parking area for
a Boeing office building under construction to the south.
SUMMARY OF ACTION: Planning Department Recommendation: Approval with conditions.
Hearing Examiner Decision: Approval with conditions.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT The Planning Department preliminary report was received by the
REPORT: Examiner on October 4, 1979.
PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Planning Department report, examining
available information on file with the application, and field
checking the property and surrounding area, the Examiner
conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows:
The hearing was opened on October 9, 1979 at 10:10 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the
Renton Municipal Building.
•
The Examiner expressed concern that the special permit application may be premature in
view of additional requirements of short platting as well as final approval by the King
County Department of Hydraulics and the Department of Ecology of the Flood Zone Control
Permit. Mr. Blaylock suggested that the permit could be reviewed and issued contingent
upon' subsequent short platting of the property. The Examiner requested testimony by the
applicant. Responding was:
Jacob Fox
12628 Avenue DuBois
Tacoma, WA 98498
Mr. Fox advised that a short plat request .has been submitted to the City of Renton and
scheduled for hearing on'October 30, 1979. He indicated the desire to accommodate the
tenant, The Boeing Company, within six weeks with a temporary parking lot prior to
commencement of wet weather. The Examiner reiterated his concern regarding prematurity
of the request, and suggested that the special permit be reviewed concurrently with the
short plat request on October 30., 1979. Mr. Blaylock stated that a request for deferral ;
of paving requirements for the parking lot had been continued by the Board of Public
Works on October 3, 1979.
Responding to the applicant's inquiry, the Examiner advised that further review of the
city requirements could occur with the Public Works Department outside the hearing process
and prior to the scheduled hearing. The hearing was subsequently closed at 10:16 a.m.
and continued.to 9:00 a.m. on October 30, 1979 in the Council Chambers of the Renton
Municipal Building.
•
CONTINUANCE:
The hearing was opened on October 30, 1979. Due to requirement for additional information
to proceed with a concurrent application, Short Plat 431-79, the hearing to review the
special permit was continued to November 6, 1979.
CONTINUANCE:
•
The hearing was opened on November 6, 1979: Responding to the applicant's request for
. additional time to finalize an agreement by all property owners, the Examiner continued
• 'the hearing for one week to November 13, 1979.
iP-424-79 Page Two
CONTINUANCE: •
•
The hearing was opened on November 13, 1979 at 9:45 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the
Renton Municipal 'Building. , Because disagreement still existed between Puget Power and
representatives of the Austin Company regarding the associated short.plat request, the
hearing was continued to December 4, 1979 at 9:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers.
CONTINUANCE:
The hearing was opened on December 4, 1979 At 10:05 a.m. in the Council Chambers of-
the Renton Municipal Building. •
Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner.
Mr. Blaylock stated that the 'staff report will stand as of October 9 as it hadn't
been entered into the record because at that time it was discovered that the
applicant had not short-platted the land appropriately.
The staff report dated October 9 was entered by the Examiner as Exhibit #1.
The Site Plan showing the- fill and grade was entered as Exhibit #2. Mr. Blaylock
noted that this is over the top of the map of Metro Industrial which was originally
filled under Special Permit-063-77. The Examiner stated it would be helpful to
post the application map showing the actual areas' to be filled in.
•
Exhibit #1 was reviewed by Mr. Blaylock. He stated there was a miscalculation in
the original figures. The permit suggested' filling to an elevation of 18 feet,
however this property. was only filled to an elevation 'of 13 to 14 feet. . The appli-
cant is requesting an additional 50,000 feet of fill to raise the finished elevation
to 18 feet to correspond with the property that is already built. The general area
is in transition from pasture and undeveloped land to industrial and commercial
development. Glacier Park Co. is presently conducting filling operations. The
lots have been platted and are being developed on an individual lot basis. The
site is undeveloped at 'this time. The Planning Department staff recommended ap-
proval subject to conditions in their report. Mr. Blaylock stated that final ap-
proval by King County Department of Hydraulics and the Department of Ecology of the
Flood Zone Control permit for the proposal shall be required before issuing the busi-
ness license.
•
The Examiner requested testimony by the applicant. Responding was:
Jacob Fox
800 S. W. 16th
• Renton, Washington 98055
Mr. Fox advised that they concur with the recommendations and agree to the restric-
tions and 'requirements included in the Staff Report.
The Examiner referenced Mr. Steiner's testimony which was given during the short
plat application inquiring if the wetlands are adjacent to this property. Mr. Blaylock
advised that the wetlands are associated with Springbrook Creek.
The Examiner requested testimony in support of the application. There-was no response.
He then requested testimony in opposition Or any further testimony. There was no
response.
The Examiner requested' information from Mr. Fox as to how long the parking lot use
willbe maintained. Mr. Fox responded that Boeing indicates when they begin a new
facility, that in a matter of two years, car pools will become organized and this
is the reason a short term Pease is proposed.
The Examiner asked for clarification as to the number of years the lease would be
effective. Mr. Fox responded it is renewable to a total of three years.
Mr. Blaylock pointed out that the lease is only valid for two years so if they wish
to continue beyond that,' it would have to be renewed. •
The ,Examiner stated that he might like to reserve site approval on the lot if the
site is vacated and asked for clarification as .to whether, if it becomes apparent
that Boeing needs the parking lot"beyond the two or three year period, there are
provisions by the Building DepartMent'or any other department to maintain the
parking lot. . He remarked that there appeared to be a private contract between
• the parties until Boeing''needs the parking lot. Mr. Blaylock responded that
this is a problem because the''city ordinance requires only certain space •
SP-424-79 Page Four
CONCLUSIONS:
1.• The proposal to grade and fill the site appears consistent with the Green River Valley
Comprehensive Plan. The plan indicates that the subject site would be appropriate. for
the development of a manufacturing park. The zoning of the subject site would permit
the development of heavy industrial uses on the site.
The grading and filling of the subject site is required before any use can be success-
fully developed on the site because the area is in the 100 year flood plain level.
2. In order to develop the subject site and protect it from possible damage from flooding,
the site must be raised to a level of 18 feet. Any construction must have flood pro-
tection to 21.8 feet. The requested fill will permit the applicant to meet these
requirements and successfully use the site.
3. The additional fill will also raise the site to a level consistent with adjacent
development.
4. The proposed parking use is interim use. The ultimate use of the subject property is
unknown but the applicant indicated that the use would be consistent with the Compre-
hens'ive Plan and the zoning of the subject site. The eventual use and plans should be
subject to review by the Examiner pursuant to Section 4-2303(2)C and D. Therefore, at
the termination of the present proposed use and prior to further use and occupancy, the
then proposed use and site plans shall be subject to site approval by the Examiner.
5. The entire area of the subject site which is not proposed for use in the proposed
parking lot should be hydroseeded to prevent and control erosion. This unused area
should also be the subject of a site review by the Examiner when the applicant establishes
a 'use for the property.
6. This type of operation generates dust and mud and the applicant should take reasonable
precautions to minimize the effects of such by watering the site during work and clear-
ing and cleaning all streets of debris caused by the fill operation.
The applicant should work with the Public Works Department in this matter as well as
in the control of traffic during this operation, if the need arises.
7. The fill permit is also subject to approval by both the King County Department of
Hydraulics and the Department of Ecology and the issuance of a Flood Zone Control
Permit. •
DECISION:
The special permit for fill and grade is approved subject to the following conditions:
1. All future development of the subject property shall be subject to a site approval
review by the Hearing Examiner pursuant to Sections 4-2303(2)C and D;
2. The applicant shall landscape at least two percent of the property subject to approval
of the Planning Department to mitigate loss of wildlife habitat;
3. The applicant post a bond for 150% of the cost of landscaping the subject property;
4. The applicant hydroseed any portions of the subject property not currently developed;
5. The applicant shall mitigate any dust and/or mud conditions caused by its operation
subject to approval of the Public Works Department;
6. The applicant shall meet the requirements of the various provisions of the Code of
Renton including but not limited to the landscaping of parking areas and the control
of storm water runoff and the Flood Zone Control provisions of King County and the
State.

and Boeing requires additional to that. The Examiner asked if Boeing would be pro-
vided sufficient parking with or without this parking lot. Mr. Blaylock responded
that they would:
The Examiner requested further testimony in support of the application. There was
no response. He requested testimony in opposition or any further testimony. There
was no' response.
The' hearing on Short Plat 424-79. was closed at 10:25 a.m. December 4, 1979 in the
Council Chambers of the 'Renton Municipal Building. The Examiner stated the decision
will be issued in '14 days.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS': Having reviewed the record in this matter, the
Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
1. The request is for approval of a special permit to fill and grade approxmately 7.8
acres with: approximately 50,000 cubic yards and, thereby attain a finished grade of
about 18 feet.
•
2. The Planning Department report sets forth the issues, applicable policies and
provisions, findings, of fact, and departmental recommendations in this matter,
(is uncontested)-, - and is hereby attached as Exhibit #1.
3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and -the State Environmental
Policy Act of 1971, R.C.W. 43.21.C. , as amended, a Declaration of Non-Significance
has been issued for the subject proposal by Gordon Y. Erickseri, responsible official.
The environmental impact statement prepared for the Glacier Park fill was analyzed
and used as the basis for this determination.
4. Plans for the proposal ,have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the
impact of this development.
5. There was no opposition to the proposal expressed.
6. All existing utilities are available and in close proximity.
7. The subject property is located in the northern, end of the developing industrial area
of the' Green River Valley just south of I-405. The site is located in a flood' zone
area and portions. of the site have been filled to guard against future flooding under
a previous, special permit (File No. SP-063-77) .
8. The applicant intends to fill the remainder of the site' to permit the establishment
of a parking area to serve in conjunction with the 'occupation of the new Boeing
Company facilities just south of the designated fill site.
Pursuant to Sect-ion 4-2303(2) , the applicant has applied for a special permit, to
permit the placement of additional fill on the subject property. The site would then
be graded at an average level of approximately 18 feet in compliance with the re-
quirement of the King County Department of Hydraulics in the flood zone.
9. The 'proposed use of the subject ,property when the lease for the parking area expires
is unknown.. The •applicant indicated the eventual use will be consistent with the
zoning of H-1 (Heavy Industrial) and the Comprehensive Plan's designation of the area
'for manufacturing park. The Planning Department indicated that site review should
be required for the reuse of the subject property. •
10. The area in which the subject property is located is within the Green River Valley
Comprehensive Plan-and is subject to mitigation of the loss of wildlife refuge under
• the Soil. Conservation Service guidelines. Two percent of the area must be landscaped.
Specific landscaping plans were required under the previous special permit. The
Planning Department recommended that a bond of 150% be posted to cover the cost of
installation of the appropriate landscaping.
11. The proposed parking area will be landscaped, but consistent with a deferral granted
by the Board of Public Works, the parking area will not be paved.
12. The Planning Department recommended hydroseeding be used to prevent and control
erosion on the subject site.

10. Notification : The applicant was notified in
writing of the hearing date.
Notice was properly published in
the Record Chronicle on September
28, 1979 and posted in three places
on or near the site as required
by City ordinance on. September 27,
1979.
C. HISTORY/BACKGROUND': .
The site and general area was annexed to the City on April 14,
1959, by Ordinance No. 1745. The subject site was rezoned from
G to H-1 , Heavy Industry District , on May 7, 1962 , by
Ordinance No. 1955. Certain restrictive covenants were established
at the time of the rezone to run with the land. These covenants deal
with permitted uses , setbacks , landscaping areas , and other site

requirement for a period of two years . The Board considered
the watter on October 3, 1979, and continued the matter for one
week to have. the applicant present to provide justification for
the request . No specific use is identified for the northerly
two-thirds of the site . ' Future development will be subject to
City of Renton standards including the Hearing Examiner' s Site
Plan approval. per Section '4-2302. 2.C. and the requirements of
the restrictive covenants running with the land.
3. The LID for Lind Avenue S.W. (proposed 80-foot right-of-way)
along the easterly boundary of the subject is now under
construction.
4. The subject site has been filled to approximately an elevation of
16' by SP-063-77. At the time of the previous permit , the datem
utilized did not correspond to that utilized by the King County
Department of Hydraulics. The proposed added fill will offset
this 'discrepancy. The subject site is adjacent to previously
filled property on the south, west (Group Health Complex) ,east
(Lind Avenue S .W. ) , and S .W. 16th Street on the north. The
recently developed Group Health Complex and the planned Lind
Avenue S.W. extension have stimulated interest in development in
the general area of the subject site .
5. The site is not adjacent to any existing or proposed wetland
or greenbelt' areas . The applicant proposed approximately three
feet of fill to match existing elevations surrounding the
subject site (approximately 18. 0 feet ) . The 100 year floodplain
level as indicated by the Army Corps of Engineers and utilized
fo,r flood zone control permits by King County Department of
Hydraulics is 20. 8 feet , with flood protection required to 21. 8
feet .
6. The site has previously been filled to approximately elevation
af , 16 feet . Therefore, the site contains no existing wetland
marsh areas. However, because of its location in the Valley,
mitigating measures for removal of wetland wildlife habitat must be
applied. This can be accomplished within the SCS ' two percent
landscaping requirement , and other landscaping requirements.
Due to the absence of any specific re-use plans for a portion
of the site at the present time, site plan approval by the Hearing
Examiner at the time of specific site development should be required
as per Section 4-2303.2. C.
The previous fill permit approval (copy of decision attached)
required implementation of these measures at the close of the
fill operation . This has been accomplished as required. Therefore,
a specific landscaping plan must be received and approved as
a part of this approval and a bond in the amount of 150% should
be required to insure implementation .
7. The Public Works Department has not provided a response to
referral of this application . Their recommendation is thus unknown
at this time .
8. Suitable hydroseeding and erosion control methods will be necessary
as an integral phase of the proposed fill and grade project .
9. The Planning Department has contacted King County Department of
Hydraulics for review and comments on the subject application.
Approval should be subject to King County Department of Hydraulics

I . IMPACT ON THE NATURAL OR HUMAN ENVIRONMENT:
1.. Natural Systems : The subject proposal will disturb present •
soil and vegetation conditions , increase storm and water runoff ,
and may affect drainage patterns in the area. Traffic and "noise
levels will be increased by the proposed filling and grading
operations . However, these impacts can be mitigated -through
proper development ' controls. •

J. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT/THRESHOLD DETERMINATION:
Pursuant , to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance ' and the State
Environmental Policy Act of 1971 , as amended, RCW• 43-21C, a
declaration of non-significance has been issued for the subject proposal
(see attached) . This is based upon the previous environmental
impact statements prepared for the large fill project presently being
conducted by Glacier Park Company south of the subject site and is
further predicated upon proper development; procedures in 'accordance
with the' Cit,y' s Comprehensive Plan and other City requirements
and suitable impact mitigation measures.

L. PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS :'-
1 . The' subject site is presently zoned .H.-1 (Heavy Industry) which
will permit commercial or industri,al. future development on the
site. The proposal generally ' conforms to the comprehensive planning
and zoning for the area.
2. The applicant proposes use of approximately one-third of the site
for an unpaved, but otherwise fully improved (curbing, storm
drainage, landscaping) parking lot for the adjoining Boeing Office
complex. The applicant has requested a deferral of the paving

FINDINGS, CON( )NS 6 RECOMMENDATIONS: Having reviewed the recc : this matter,
' the Examiner e, Ikea and enters the following:
FINDINGS: •
• }
1. The request is for a major landfill of approximately 50,000 cubic yards on a
10 acre site south of S.W. 16th Street between Lind Avenue S.W. and Raymond
Avenue S.W.
, 2. The Planning Department report accurately sets forth the issues, applicable
policies and provisions, findings of fact, and departmental recommendations in
this matter (is uncontested), and is hereby attached as Exhibit #1 and incorporated _ -
in this report by reference as sot forth in full herein. --
, 3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental
Policy Act of 1971, as amended by R.C.W. 43.21.C., a Declaration of Non-Significance
has been issued for the roect subj
ect proposal by Gordon Y. Ericksen, responsible official.
I '
•
f 4. Plans for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by
the impact of this development and no adverse comment was expressed.
r'
f 5. There was no opposition to the proposal expressed.
6. All existing utilities are available and in close proximity.
•
7._ The proposal is compatible with the required setback requirements of Sections
4-713 and 4-2314 of the Code.
8. Future use of the property is confined to those uses specified in Section 4-713
(Heavy industry) of the Code and review by the Examiner per Section 4-2303.2.
•
9. The property is bordered on four sides by existing landfill.as a result of.
construction of Group Health warehouse and laboratory and Raymond Avenue S.W. on
the west, S.W. 16th Street on the north, the proposed Lind Avenue S.W. on the
west, and an existing fill on the south. •
10. Vehicular access to the property will be from Lind Avenue S.W. to S.W. 16th Street.
It is anticipated that the existing city streets will be adequate to accomodate
this traffic under the control of the Public Works Department. •
__ 11. Storm water retention at this stage of development will be accomplished via a
retention pond per Public Works Department approval. This method may be altered
or discarded during construction of buildings on the site.
•
12. Existing public services are adequate to handle the fill operation.
13. The proposed fill will reach an elevation of 23.5 feet which is 1.7 feet higher
than the tentative flood level established by the King County Hydraulics Division.
That Division's review of the application has not been completed, but is essential
to final approval of this application and the Flood Zone Control Permit.
14. Dust control is proposed via water sprinkling.
•
.
15. Control of mud on city streets is proposed via a mechanical sweeper and a.flush
truck.
16. Erosion control of the fill is proposed to be accomplished by hydroseeding all
slopes:
•
17. Section 4-2314.2 requires a 10-foot setback from the building setback line in
instances where slopes occur and the proposed fill does not meet the grade of
adjacent property (see attached memoranda dated August 30, 1977 and August 31,
1977).
18. Fill material will conform to the requirements of the Mining, Excavation and
Grading Ordinance, Chapter 23, Title IV.
19. The fill operation will occur on a continuing basis until completed. Fill
material is to be imported from•a site in south Seattle.
20. Wildlife habitat of 2% of the site is required per the U.S. boil Conservation
Service and City of Renton Resolution No. 1923.
CONCLUSIONS: •
•
•
1. The proposal generally conforms to the Green River Comprehensive Plan with the
exception that wildlife habitat must be provided on the site. It appears that
the requirement of 2% of the site to.be landscaped in wildlife habitat can be
accomplished utilizing perimeter screening. The Planning Department has on •
• file several documents (Exhibit #6) outlining the landscaping materials
suitable for wildlife habitat.
111,
•
2. Fill material should be inspected periodically by the Public Works Department
for conformance to Section 4-2316.
1
{ 3. Section 4-2303.2.B requires that the Examiner conclude that the fill activity
"...not be unreasonably detrimental to the surrounding area." Based upon the
evidence submitted in the public hearing and the physical characteristics of
( the site, the proposed landfill is compatible with and similar to existing
landfill operations in the immediate vicinity. Restrictions are necessary to
control erosion, facilitate storm water drainage, and.to mitigate loss of
wildlife habitat. These conditions will make the Special Permit not detrimental
to z,'iacent properties and the surrounding area. •

4. The storm water drainage plan for a surface retention pond has met with
preliminary approval of the Public Works Department and can be further refined
by the applicant with the department prior to issuance of the Special Permit.
S. Per Section 4-2303.2.0 the final uses and the site plan must be approved by
the Examiner. A public hearing will be held and the Examiner must conclude
that the uses and site plan conform to the Comprehensive Plan and are compatible
with the vicinity as well as the applicable zoning requirements.
6. Sufficient access exists via Lind Avenue S.W. and S.W. 16th Street. In the
attached memorandum of September 9, 1977 the Public Works Department stated
that any problems occurring during the filling operation can be resolved on
- - _ - -- _ location.
7. Dust and mud control as recommended by the Public Works Department and accepted
by the applicant is sufficient to meet the requirement of Section 4-2312.8.
8. Section 4-713(0)(e) (H-1 Zone) specifies the building setback lines as 60 feet
for the front and 20 feet for the sides. An additional 10 feet of setback is
added by Section 4-2314.2 (Mining, Excavation and Grading Ordinance) to these
building setbacks whenever the fill does not meet the adjacent property but
forms a slope. In this request the fill will meet the adjacent property on
the south and east property lines. A slope setback will not be necessary in
those areas. However, along the west and north property lines slopes will
occur which must meet the applicable building setback lines plus the additional
10 feet setback for slopes.
The Examiner requested a legal opinio1 regarding this matter in the attached
memoranda dated August 30, 1977 and August 31, 1977. Existing ordinances
(Chapter 23 and 30) prevent the Examiner from granting a variance from the
slope setback requirement of Section 4-2314.2. However, it seems appropriate
to comment upon the effect of this additional setback requirement. .+ -
•
The setback of Section 4-2314 is intended to "...preserve the setback for'the
safety and benefit of adjacent properties, the adequacy of foundations, and to
prevent damage as a result of water runoff or erosion of the slopes." (Section
4-2314.1) The purpose of Chapter 23 is to '...protect...areas and uses...
against detrimental effects" (Section 4-2301.C) and to "Promote safe, economic,
systematic...grading activities..." (Section 4-2301.2.D). Application of the
'setback will accomplish these purposes; however, it-may be counterproductive in
instances. A moat could be created if the fills do not meet - a setback area .
equal to double the building setback area and 10-foot slope setback for
"protecting" each property. This Appears not to be the intent of the ordinance.
The intent seems to be to require landfill to be set back from adjacent property
where the landfill may be detrimental to that abutting property - a clear case-of
• protection. However, in other instances nothing detrimental can be shown, but
moats may be created around neighboring properties undergoing'landfill operations.
It appears in this case that a variance should be sought'.from the Board of
•
. Adjustment. In addition, Section 4-2314 should probably'be revised to accomodate
a wider range of situations.
' • DECISION: Based upon the record,' findings and conclusions, the grading and filling
Special Permit is approved subject to:
1. Landscaping-of 2% of the site for wildlife habitat purposes per the landscaping
materials suggested in Exhibit ()5 as approved by.the Planning Department. This
landscaping is to be installed upon completion of the landfill operation.
' 2. Finalization of the storm water retention system and its approval by the Public
Works Department.
3. Dust control be implemented by water sprinkling.
4. Control of mud and debris on adjacent or affected public right-of-way be
implemented by a mechanical sweeper adn water flushing.
5. Exposed slopes are to be hydroseeded,to control erosion.
•
' • 6. Fill material will conform to the requirements of Chapter 23, Title IV.
7. Tops of the slopes to be no less than 10 feet from the building setback lines
established by Section 4-713 (D)(e).

development requirements. The area immediately surrounding the site
has been previously filled to an elevation of approximately 18 feet .
Under the provisions of SP-063-77, the subject site was filled to an
average elevation of 16 feet .
D. PHYSICAL, BACKGROUND:
1. Topography : Essentiallylevel.
2. Soils : Urban fill overlays Puget Silty Clay Loam (Pu) .
Permeability is slow and seasonal high water table is at or near
the surface. Runoff is slow to ponded, and erosion hazard is slight.
The soil is generally used for row crops and pasture .
3. Ve;getation : Due to the previous filling of the site and
current construction activity related to the adjoining office
building, only limited scrub grasses remain on the site.
4. W .ldlife : Due to the conditions noted above , no significant
wildlife habitat remains on the site , although birds and rodents
may be present .
5. Water: No natural drainage features exist , and no standing water
was observed on the site .
6. Land Use : The subject site borders on the south side of S.W.
16th Street. There is a mixture of commercial and light industrial
uses located along S.W. 16th Street between the Valley Freeway
and Longacres. The Austin Company' s main headquarters is located
on the north side of S .W. 16th Street , just west of the subject
site. The new Group Health warehouse and laboratory complex is
located directly west of the subject stie. The Boeing Office
complex to the south and Lind Avenue to the east are under
construction.
E. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS :
The general area is in a transitional area from pasture and
undeveloped land to various industrial and commercial uses . Glacier
Park Company is presently conducting filling operations approximately
half a mile to one mile south of the subject site and has plans for
future platting and development of that area. Filling and/or
development have occurred directly adjacent to the subject site .
F. PUBLIC SERVICES :
1. Water and Sewer: An existing 24" sewer line is located at S.W.
16th Street and Raymond Avenue S.W. Sanitary sewers are also
proposed with the Lind Avenue S .W. LID. There are existing 12"
water main along S .W. 16th Street and a 16" main along Lind
Avenue S .W. Storm sewers are not available in the area.
2 . Fire Protection : Provided by the Renton Fire Department per
ordinance requirements. Any future development of the site
will be subject to the City of Renton standards.
3. Transit : Metro Transit Route 161 operates along S .W. Grady Way
approximately 1/4 mile north of the subject site .
4. Schools : Not applicable. No existing schools are located in
the general area.

Notice was properly published in
the Record Chronicle on September
28, 1979 and posted in three places
on or near the site as required
by City ordinance on September 27,
1979.
C. HISTORY/BACKGROUND:
The site ' and general area was annexed to the City on April 14,
1959, by Ordinance No. 1745 . The subject site was rezoned from
G to H-1 , Heavy Industry District , on May 7, 1962 , by
Ordinance No. 1955. Certain restrictive covenants were established
at tha time of the rezone to run with the land. These covenants deal
with permitted uses , setbacks , landscaping areas , and other site

requirement for a period of two years . The Board considered
the matter on October 3, 1979, and continued the matter for one
week to have the applicant' present to, provide justification for
the request . No specific use is identified for the northerly
two-thirds of the site . Future development will be subject to
City of Renton standards including the Hearing Examiner' s Site
Plan approval per Section 4=2302.2.C. and the requirements of
the restrictive covenants running with the land.
3. The LID for •Lind Avenue S.W. (proposed 80-foot right-of-way)
along the easterly boundary of the subject is now under
construction.
4. The subject site has been filled to approximately an elevation of
16' by SP-063-77. At the time of the previous permit , the datem
utilized did not correspond to that utilized by the King County
Department of Hydraulics . The proposed added fill will offset
this discrepancy. The subject site is adjacent to previously
filled property on the south, west (Group Health Complex) ,east
(Lind Avenue S.W. ) , and S.W. 16th Street on the north. The
recently developed Group Health Complex and the planned Lind
Avenue S.W. extension have stimulated interest in development in
the general area of the subject site.
5. The site is not adjacent to any existing or proposed wetland
or greenbelt areas. The applicant proposed approximately three
feet, fill to match existing elevations surrounding the
subject site (approximately 18. 0 feet) . The 100 year floodplain
levelias indicated by the Army Corps of Engineers and utilized
for flood zone control permits by .King County Department of
Hydraulics is 20.8 feet , with flood protection required to 21. 8
feet .
6. The, site has previously been filled to approximately elevation
of 16, feet . Therefore, the site contains no existing wetland
marsh areas. However, because of its location in the Valley,
mitigating measures for removal of wetland wildlife habitat must be
applied. This can be accomplished within the SCS' two percent
landscaping requirement , and other landscaping requirements.
Due to the absence of any specific re-use plans for a portion
of, the site. at the present time, site plan- approval by the Hearing
Examiner at the time of specific site development should be required
asAper Section 4-2303.2. C.
The previous fill permit approval (copy of decision attached)
required implementation of these measures at the close of the
fill operation . This has been accomplished as required. Therefore ,
aspecific landscaping plan must be received and approved as
apart of this approval and a bond in the amount of 150% should
be required to insure implementation .
7. The Public Works Department has not provided a response to
referral of this application. Their recommendation is thus unknown
at this time.
' 8. Suitable hydroseeding and erosion control methods will be necessary
as an integral phase of the proposed fill and' grade project .
•
9. The Planning Department has contacted King County Department of
Hydraulics for review and comments on the subject application.
Approval should be subject to King County Department of Hydraulics

I . IMPACT ON THE NATURAL OR HUMAN ENVIRONMENT:
1. Nat,ural Systems : The subject proposal will disturb present
soil and vegetation conditions , increase storm and water runoff ,
and may affect drainage patterns in the area. Traffic and noise
levels will be increased by the proposed filling and grading
operations . However, these impacts can be mitigated through
proper development controls . •
2. Population/Employment : Not Applicable .
3. Schools : Not Applicable.
4. Social : Filling the subject property will provide a step
toward future development of the site to higher intensity uses .
There may be 'some indirect social spinoff effects as a result
of, such future development .
5. Traffic : An estimated 2,000 vehicle (truck) trips would be
required to place the 50,000 cubic yards of fill .
J. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT/THRESHOLD DETERMINATION :
Pursuant to the City of Renton ' s Environmental Ordinance and the State
Environmental Policy Act of 1971 , as amended, RCW 43-21C, a
declaration of non-significance has been issued for the subject proposal
(see attached) . This is based upon the previous environmental
impact statements prepared for the large fill project presently being
conducted by Glacier Park Company south of the subject site and is
further predicated upon proper development procedures in accordance
with the City' s Comprehensive Plan and other City requirements
and suitable impact mitigation measures .

L. PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS :
1 . The subject site is presently zoned H-1 (Heavy Industry) which
will permit commercial or industrial future development on the
site. The proposal generally conforms to the comprehensive planning
and zoning for the area.
2. The applicant proposes use of approximately one-third of the site
for an unpaved, but otherwise fully improved (curbing, storm
drainage, landscaping) parking lot for the adjoining Boeing Office
complex. The applicant has requested a deferral of the paving

The Examiner asked for further comments. Since there were none, the hearing on l
Item 4SP-063-66 was continued,for two weeks at 11:20 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS 6 RECOMMENDATIONS: Having reviewed the record in this matter,
the'Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
1. The request is for a major landfill of approximately 50,000 cubic yards on a
10 acre site south of S.W. 16th Street between Lind Avenue S.W. and Raymond
Avenue S.W.
2. The Planning Department report accurately sets forth the issues, applicable
policies and provisions, findings of fact, and departmental recommendations in
this matter ;(is uncontested), and is hereby attached as Exhibit #1 and incorporated
in this report by reference as set'forth in full herein.
, 3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental
Policy Act of 1971, as amended by R.C.W. 43.21.c., a Declaration of Non-Significance
has been issued for the subject proposal by Gordon Y. Ericksen, responsible official.
4. Plana for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by
.the impact of this development and no adverse comment was expressed.
r.
r'.
5. There was no opposition to the proposal expressed.
6. All existing utilities are available and in close proximity.
7. The proposal is compatible with the required setback requirements of Sections
4-713 and 4-2314 of the Code.
8. 'Future use of the,property is confined to those uses specified in Section 4-713
(Heavy Industry) of the Code and review by the Examiner per Section 4-2303.2.
9. The property is bordered on four sides by existing landfill as a result of
construction of Group Health warehouse and laboratory and Raymond Avenue S.W. on
the west, S.W. 16th Street on the north, the proposed Lind Avenue S.W. on'the
west, and an existing fill on the south.
10. Vehicular access to the property will be from Lind Avenue S.W. to S.W. 16th Street.
It is anticipated that the existing city streets will be adequate to accomodate
this traffic under the control of the Public Works Department.
11. Storm water retention at this stage of development will be accomplished via a-
retention pond per Public Works Department approval. This method may be altered
or discarded during construction of buildings on the site.
12. Existing public services are adequate to handle the fill operation.
13. The proposed fill will reach an elevation of 23.5 feet which is 1.7 feet higher
than the tentative flood level established by the King County Hydraulics Division.
That Division's review of the application has not been completed, but is essential
to final approval of this application'and the Flood Zone Control Permit.
14. Dust control is proposed via water sprinkling.
15. Control of mud on city streets is proposed via a mechanical sweeper and a flush
truck.
16. Erosion control of the fill is proposed to be accomplished by hydroseeding all
'slopes.
17 Section 4-2314.2 requires a 10-foot setback from the building setback line in
' instances where slopes occur and the proposed fill does not meet the grade of •
adjacent property (see attached memoranda dated August 30, 1977 and August 31,
1977).
18. 'Fill material Will conform to the requirements of the Mining, Excavation and
Grading Ordinance,'Chapter 23, Title IV.
19. The fill operation will occur on a continuing basis until completed. Fill
, material is to be imported from site in south Seattle.
20, Wildlife habitat of 2% of the site is required per the U.S. boil Conservation �.
Service and City of Renton Resolution No. 1923.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposal generally conforms to the Green River Comprehensive Plan with the
)exception that•wildlife habitat must be provided on the site. It appears that
,the requirement of 2% of the site to be landscaped in wildlife habitat can be
accomplished utilizing perimeter screening. The Planning Department has on -
'file several documents (Exhibit 46) outlining the landscaping materials
suitable for wildlife habitat.
2. Fill material should be inspected periodically by the Public Works Department
for conformance to Section 4-2316.
•
3. 'Section 4-2303.2.s requires that the Examiner conclude that the fill activity
"...not be unreasonably detrimental to the surrounding area." Based upon;the
} evidence submitted in the public hearing and the physical characteristics of.
the site, the proposed landfill is compatible with and similar to existing
•
1 landfill operations in the immediate vicinity. Restrictions are necessary to •
control erosion, facilitate storm water drainage, and.to mitigate loss of
wildlife habitat. These conditions will make the Special Permit not detrimental
to P'iacent properties and the surrounding area.
/
•
. SP-063-77 Page Four
4. The storm water drainage plan for a surface retention pond has met with
preliminary approval of the Public Works Department and can be further refined
by the applicant with the department prior to issuance of the Special Permit. •
5. Per Section 4-2303.2.0 the final uses and the site plan must be approved by
the Examiner. A public hearing will be held and the Examiner must conclude
that the uses and site plan conform to the Comprehensive Plan and arc compatible
with the vicinity as well as the applicable zoning requirements.
6. Sufficient access exists via Lind Avenue S.W. and S.W. 16th Street. In the
attached memorandum of September 9, 1977 the Public Works Department stated
that any problems occurring during the filling operation can be resolved on
location.
7. Dust and mud control as recommended by the Public Works Department and accepted
by the applicant is sufficient to meet the requirement of Section 4-2312.0.
8. Section 4-713(D)(e) (H-1 Zone) specifies the building'setback lines as 60 feet
for the front and 20 feet for the sides. An additional 10 feet of setback is
added by Section 4-2314.2 (Mining, Excavation and Grading Ordinance) to these
building setbacks whenever the fill does not meet the adjacent property but
forms a slope. In this request the fill will meet the adjacent property on
the south and east property lines. A slope setback will not be necessary in
those areas. However, along the west and north property lines slopes will
occur which must meet the applicable building setback lines plus the additional
10 feet setback for slopes.
The Examiner requested a legal opinion regarding this matter in the attached
memoranda dated August 30. 1977 and August 31, 1977. Existing ordinances
(Chapter 23 and 30) prevent the Examiner from granting a variance from the
slope setback requirement of Section 4-2314.2. However, it seems appropriate
to comment upon the effect of this additional setback requirement.
The setback of Section 4-2314 is intended to "...preserve the setback for the
safety and benefit of adjacent properties, the adequacy of foundations, and to
prevent damage as a result of water runoff or erosion of the slopes." (Section
4-2314.1) The purpose of Chapter 23 is to "...protect...areas and uses...
against detrimental effects" (Section 4-2301.C) and to "Promote safe, economic,
systematic...grading activities..." (Section 4-2301.2.D). Application of the
setback will accomplish these purposes; however, it may be counterproductive in
instances. A moat could be created if the fills do not meet - a setback area
equal to double the building setback area and 10-foot slope setback for
"protecting" each property. This appears not to be the intent of the ordinance.
The intent seems to be to require landfill to be set back from adjacent property
where the landfill may be detrimental to that abutting property - a clear case of
protection. However, in other instances nothing detrimental can he shown, but
moats may be created around neighboring properties undergoing landfill operations.
It appears in this case that a variance should be sought from the Board of
Adjustment. In addition, Section 4-2314 should probably be revised to accomodate
a wider range of situations.
I
• DECISION: Based upon the record, findings and conclusions, the grading and filling
Special Permit is approved subject to:
1. Landscaping of 2% of the site for wildlife habitat purposes per the landscaping
materials suggested in Exhibit 05 as approved by the Planning Department. This
landscaping is to be installed upon completion of the landfill operation.
2. Finalization of the storm water retention system and its approval by the Public
Works Department.
•
3. Dust control be implemented by water sprinkling.
4. Control of mud and debris on adjacent or affected public right-of-way be
implemented by a mechanical sweeper adn water flushing.
1 • 5. Exposed slopes aro to be hydroseeded to control erosion.

COMMENTS:

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

SECTION 1. BACKGROUND
6 . This Proposal embodies the construction of a temporary
parking facility to be linked to an existing, now under
construction, Office Complex and Parking Lot, (See
Environmental Checklist under Application No. B-199
dated May 25 , 1979) .
The temporary nature of this facility is due to a previously
unanticipated intense use of the adjacent office buildings
during the initial years of their occupancy.
The temporary lot, 3 .2 acres , will contain approximately
300 parking spaces , and will conform to the related
access, lighting and drainage requirements of the City
of Renton.
In sympathy with the temporary nature of the parking
facility measures will be taken to minimize its long
range effect upon the existing character, and future poten-
tial of the property. The linkage of this to the adjacent
parking lot will reduce the impact on the surrounding
streets by controlling vehicle access and egress. Using
a crushed rock surfacing will keep the run off and
dust levels low.
Parking stalls and drive lanes will be defined by wheel
stops and landscape islands . The drives between the two
parking lots will be replaced by landscaping and
parking stalls when the temporary lot is no longer needed.
(See attached site plan. )
SECTION 1.

7. The proposed temporary parking facility is located
south of Southwest 16th Street between Lind Avenue , on the
East, and Raymond Avenue; on the West. The northern
edge of approximately 1/2 of the lot is adjacent to the
Puget Power Substation on S .W. 16th Street at Raymond
Avenue. The Southern boundary is common with the Northern
edge of the Boeing Office Complex now under construction.
This parcel of land is zoned heavy industrial, as are the
neighboring properties .
Due to an ongoing fill operation the native soils have,
for the most part, been covered. Little if any vegetation
has re-established itself on the fill material.

SECTION II. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1. EARTH
a. Beyond completion of the ongoing fill operations , see
Section I Item 7 , the proposed parking lot construction
will require trenching for drainiage and utility
lines, which will be backfilled to insure the stability
of the parking surface.
b. Given the position of the native soils, beneath existing
fill material, the compaction necessary to provide
the base for the parking surface will have a minimal,
if any, effect on the native soil.
c. The proposed parking area will be at the level of the
surrounding roads and parking areas , to facilitate
ciruclation. This represents a slight change in the
topography, however, the visual impact of the higher
grade will be slight due in part to neighboring fill
sites, and in part to perimeter landscaping (See Site
Plan) .
e. The possibility of soil erosion due to wind or water
flow will exist during that phase of the construction .
when the soil is unprotected. Methods , such as
watering the site, will be employed to keep erosion at
a minimum until the landscaping and crushed rock are
in place to stabilize the soil .
2 . AIR
a. During the time of its use, the proposed development
will allow for the circulation and parking of around
300 automobiles and their resultant emissions. How-
ever, the deterioration of existing air quality due
l _\

to this facility will be slight considering its
temporary nature and the nearby areas of intense auto-
motive traffic. (i.e. , the East Valley Highway, •
Interstate 405) •
3. WATER:
a. Due to resurfacing and compaction of the site, to
allow for vehicle traffic, the absorbation rate of the
land will be altered. The effect of increased runoff
will be controlled in accordance with the City of
Renton' s Building Regulations , Chapter 29 .
4 . FLORA:
a. Species of plant life primarily grasses, either native
or. those recently established on the existing fill
material will be covered by the proposed parking lot.
6 . NOISE :
- 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.

7. LIGHT AND GLARE:
For security and safety reasons the proposed parking lot
will be lighted. The lighting fixtures to be used are
designed to minimize glare and control spillage of light
onto adjacent property. Considering the probable industrial
development of the surrounding property there will be no
adverse effect of the proposed lighting.
13: TRANSPORTATION AND CIRCULATION:
a. By itself the proposed temporary parking. lot will
not generate vehicular traffic. However, its existance
will handle the temporary overflow from the permanent
parking lot to the south as parking need is generated
by the Boeing Office Complex of buildings , until share
the ride plan takes effect and reduces the parking impact.
b. The proposed parking lot will handle the anticipated
overflow from the existing, now under construction,
adjacent parking lot.
c. The road systems surrounding the site are adequately
designed for the anticipated traffic flow. Furthermore,
the Boeing Company staggers its 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.
Boeing also encourages 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. Further-
more, the existing street facilities of Southwest 16th
Street, Frontage Road and Lind Avenue are adequate to
handle the anticipated traffic load. This is evidenced
SECTION II .

nearly every day by the ability of the nearby racing
facility 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 transportation systems,
vis-a-vis the private automobile - its use and 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. The-efore , planning
for impact should consider these changes and developments.
f. Increased traffic of any kind may give rise to some
potential increased ganger to bicycle or ped estrian
traffic. It should be said, however., that this area is
not primarily residential in character and this faci •
-
lity should not influence any changes that would result
in ped estrian or bicycle traffic.
14 . PUBLIC SERVICES:
b. Police :
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 weekend security is generally provided by The
Boeing Company.

e. As indicated above, increased vehicular traffic may
result in the need forincreased 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.
15 . ENERGY:
b. The lighting of the proposed facility, at night,
will require electrical connection to the area' s
power system. (High Output)
16 . UTILITIES
e. Water run off will be controlled so as to not increase
the burden on the public system beyond the currently
existing condition. (See Chapter 29 . Building
Regulations City of Renton)
