CITY OF RENTON 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. SP-424-79 Page Three • 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. SP-424-79 Page Five • ORDERED THIS 12th day of December, 1979. \(41A11.-1"------ Fred J.

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 PLANNING DEPARTMENT PRELIMINARY REPORT TO THE HEARING EXAMINER PUBLIC HEARING: VALLEY OFFICE & INDUSTRIAL PARK, INC. File no: SP-424=79 OCTOBER 9, 1979 PAGE FOUR 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 • PLANNING DEPARTMENT PRELIMINARY REPORT TO THE HEARING EXAMINER PUBLIC HEARING: VALLEY OFFICE & INDUSTRIAL PARK, INC.

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. • .J corporation, person or persons, except in respect to - breaches committed during.its, his or their ownership;' 1� ' and Grantor or the owner or owners of any of the above STATE OF WASHINGTON } ss. land shall have the right to sue for and obtain an County of King ) . - F: injunction prohibitive or mandatory .to prevent the breach ' On this /5 day of •rbv6e , 196 S? , -- of or to enforce the observance of these covenants, in before me, the undersigned, a Notary Public in and for the Cr addition to the ordinary legal action for damages, and state of Washington, duly commissioned and sworn, personally CMthe failure of Grantor and the owner of any other lot or appeared fs3/tr,;c or�c_• and lots or building sites hereby restricted to enforce any of the `� 2. d4'04.m:r..1.

ERICKSEN Title PLA NING DIRECTOR Date OCTOBER 5, .1979 Signatur City of Renton Planning Department 5-76 • SP-063-1' 'age 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. 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). SP-063-77 Page Five 8.

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.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT PRELIMINARY REPORT TO THE HEARING EXAMINER PUBLIC HEARING OCTOBER 9 , 1979 APPLICANT: VALLEY OFFICE & INDUSTRIAL PARK, INC. FILE NUMBER: SP-424-79 A. SUMMARY & PURPOSE OF REQUEST: The applicant requests special permit , pursuant to the City' s Mining, Excavation and Grading Ordinance, Chapter 23, to allow approximately 2 to 3 feet of fill , together with grading, on an approximate 7. 8± acre site. The site was previously filled to an average elevation of 16' , and the proposal is to place an additional 50,000 cubic yards of fill meeting an average finished grade of 18' . Approximately one-third of the proposed filled area will be utilized for a parking area for the under construction Boeing Office Building adjoining to the south. B. GENERAL INFORMATION: 1. Owner of Record: VALLEY OFFICE & INDUSTRIAL PARK, INC. 2 . Applicant : VALLEY OFFICE & INDUSTRIAL PARK, INC. 3. Location : Located on the south side of (Vicinity Map Attached) S .W. 16th Street between Lind Avenue SW and Raymond Avenue SW 4. Legal Description : A detailed legal description is available on file in the Renton Planning Dept . 5. Size of Property : 7. 8± acres 6. Access : Lind Avenue SW, SW 16th, Raymond Avenue SW 7. Existing Zoning : H-1, Heavy Industry, with restrictive covenants. 8. Existing Zoning in the Area: H-1 , Heavy Industry; M-P, Manufacturing Park District ; L-1 , Light Industry; and G, General Classification District 9. Comprehensive Land Use Plan : Manufacturing Park 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 tha time of the rezone to run with the land. These covenants deal with permitted uses , setbacks , landscaping areas , and other site PLANNING DEPARTMENT PRELIMINARY REPORT TO THE HEARING EXAMINER ;;;; PUBLIC HEARING: VALLEY OFFICE 8i INDUSTRIAL PARK, INC. File no: SP-424-79 OCTOBER 9, 1979 -PAGE FOUR 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.

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 .

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. ' 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). - I ' , SP-063-77 Page Five H. public Works Department monitoring and approval of access and traffic control.

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. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM I. BACKGROUND 1. Name of Proponent The Austin Company 2.

Proponent: s gned name printe • 44, 771 City of Renton Planning Department 5-76 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. Page Two 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 _\ SECTION II . Page Two 2 . (Cont' d) 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. - 1 SECTION II. Page Three 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 . Page Four 13. (Cont'd) 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. SECTION II. _ Page Five 14 . (Cont'd) 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 .
