The property is located in the S1, N1, SW1 of Section 16, T23N, R5E. This work was accomplished in accordance with your verbal authorization and our confirming proposal dated May 13, 1975. The purpose of our consultation is to provide our opinions and recommendations regarding the following: 1. The character and distribution of existing soils, including their characteristics pertinent to current and proposed future developments on the 'site. 2. The requirements for site grading and drainage. Plans for excavation of additional borrow from the pit are structured to achieve a final site configuration compatible with future commercial development. 7,• _ Since borrow excavation will not be completed for several years, the specific future use is unknown but could include commercial businesses, private residences, and/or other development. The extent of excavation will be determined by economic factors; which establish the value of the soil material as borrow versus the value' of the reclaimed land area. To evaluate existing site conditions, we performed a detailed reconnaissance of the site. In addition, a proposed grading-drainage plan, available geologic • publications pertinent to this area, and other information from our files have been reviewed. , Mr. John Edwards • May 15, 1975- Page 2 • DISCUSSION The existing site topography consists of a relatively level lower surface separated from an irregular upper level by a steep, south-facing bluff approximately 250 ft in height. The lower level, which is on the Cedar River floodplain, ranges from about Elevation 52 to 65. The upper surface, which was originally nearly level, currently is irregular due to excavation of borrow material. Current elevations on the upper surface range from about Elevation 275 to 330. The bluff face is slightly irregular due' to variations in weathering and erosion of the exposed soil materials. In addition, some borrow material'has been excavated from the steep bluff face, primarily near the east-west center of the Edwards property. Surface water runoff, together with seepage from springs in the bluff, has been controlled 'at the base of the bluff by construction of a network of open ditches, culverts, and temporary settling ponds. Where possible, surface water has been directed away from the bluff face to reduce water concentration and erosion on the bluff. The general area, is underlain by Tertiary sandstone and siltstone bedrock; the closest outcrop of rock occurs in the valley wall a few hundred ft south of the Cedar River opposite the site. Very dense glacial and interglacial soils, all of which are glacially consolidated, are exposed in the bluff from the floodplain level up to about Elevation 275. These glacially consolidated soils include clean sand and gravel, layered clayey silt and till (a mixture of silt, sand, and gravel) . The upper 50 to 80 ft of soils exposed in the bluff and throughout the existing_upper level borrow pit consist of sand or sand and gravel which is normally consolidated. The overall slope of the bluff face is very steep. It averages approximately 1:1 (horizontal to vertical) or steeper; short vertical sections are common. The upper zone of clean sand and gravel, which is normally consolidated, will not stand for a long period of time at slopes as steep as the underlying glacially consolidated material. Over a relatively short period of time the loose sand and gravel slopes will weather and slough to an inclination pf about 1.5:1, which generally is a stable angle of repose. The upper sand and gravel is competent for support of substantial foundation loads when the soil is undisturbed in place. It is readily recompacted when disturbed and thus can be easily utilized as structural fill. The glacially consolidated soils exposed in the bluff are capable of supporting very high foundation loads 'if these soils are undisturbed. The presence of silt and clay fines can affect the versatility of this material, especially with respect to moisture conte'nt,when used as structural fill. The material can and commonly is used as structural fill where stringent moisture and compaction control is maintained. • 0 • Mr. John Edwards _ May 15, 1975 ' Page 3 The soil deposited along the toe of the bluff is usually variable in density, and therefore mechanical compaction is normally required to provide uniform foundation support. Since this soil consists of material weathered from the { bluff exposures and thus contains some silt and clay, it will be moisture sensitive where used as structural fill. The granular alluvium on the valley floor is generally similar in character and quality for foundation purposes to the upper sand and gravel zone. It is possible that local areas may be overlain by organic soils of limited areal extent and thickness. These organic soils are unsuitable for foundation support. Therefore, special design considerations are required for founda- tions and development in such areas. RECOMMENDATIONS We recommend that all finished grading on the steeper slope areas above the lower level area of the site be excavated in native soils rather than constructed of compacted fill. The proposed grading plan suggests that this procedure is anticipated, although no differentiation between cut and fill is indicated. Fill placed for'temporary embankments during excavation activities do not need to be compacted; except as required for erosion control and roads. Final site preparations will be considerably simplified if all fill placed for development is thoroughly compacted. This can be accomplished by spreading the material in thin lifts (less than 1 ft in loose thickness) , conditioning the soil to the proper moisture 'content for compaction, and thoroughly compacting each lift with appropriate compaction equipment. Testing of the fill compaction is not necessary during the excavation stage of site development; however, the fill quality must be evaluated to allow design of foundations for future structures. We recommend that strippings and other.waste fill material be placed in a designated area not planned for development to simplify future improvements. All exposed areas not being actively excavated or graded should be shaped to facilitate drainage and should be seeded with erosion-retardant vegetation such as mixed grass or clover. Seeded areas should include the inner and outer slopes of sedimentation ponds. SUMMARY Future grading of the pit site will be influenced by actions on neighboring properties, together with economic value of the borrow soils. The upper sand and gravel unit is high quality for either borrow or processed aggregate. We concur with the 'drainage control concepts of benching, ditching, and sedimenta- tion ponds, as shown on the proposed grading plan. Measures which will simplify future site improvements include interim drainage facilities and erosion control procedures. Foundation support for future buildings can be accomplished in the compact native soils or in properly compacted fill. However, fill placement should be avoided on the upper slopes. Specific foundation conditions should be evaluated at the time building plans are formulated.

Post Office Box 6205 Seattle, Washington 98188 RE: APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION 2EGARDING SPECIAL PERMIT FOR FILL AND GRADE, #SP-752-74 • Dear Mr. Scarsella: The Renton City Council at its December 8 , 1975 meeting approved your request for a Special Permit to fill and grade, #SP-752-74 . Such approval was based on the plans submitted with the possibility of establishing alternatives to the additional landscaping proposed on the western portion of the site development plan that would allow a contribution to a wetland preservation fund in lieu of the costs of certain additional landscaping. It was felt that this might assist in mitigating the loss of the pond as a wetland wildlife habitat. You may now apply to the Public Works Deparment for your annulal license permit. When you are prepared to develop the site you will need a Special Permit for your bulk storage facility and a Site Approval from the Planning Commission as per City of Renton Ordinances . These can be submitted concurrently , and necesary forms are available from the Planning Department. f Antonio Scarsella, President Scarsella Brothers , Inc. December 10 ,1 1975 Page Two We will also be amending the Shoreline Permit to correspond to the City Council decision.

We are in a position to supply that informa- tion now and in an endeavor to keep you advised, we are furnishing you with a copy of the permit the Department of Transportation received from the Department of Natural Resources in 1973 and a copy of sheets 1 and 2 of the reclamation plan for the pit itself. i You will note that pit operation requirements are spelled out on the plan sheets. The contractor is to implement a temporary water pollution control plan and access to the pit is limited to the , access road located at the northwest corner of the pit. Access to Carr Road shall be controlled by a manually-controlled traffic signal installed for hauling operations. It is our intent that Segale work closely with the City of Renton to minimize disruption of traffic, which may be caused by pit operations. I am also enclosing a portion of the proposed agreement between the State and Segale governing operations in the pit; I believe these regulations are in compliance with those now in i force by the City of Renton. I really can't say when operations might recommence in the pit, as the litigation which had put a temporary hault on Segale 's opera- tion was only recently heard by the appellate courts. We anticipate . a decision in the near future with operations to recommence thereafter. If you have] any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to contact this office. I.

DELAURENTI, MAYOR ® PLANNING DEPARTMENT 09 235- 2550 0,94��D SEPtE1' MEMORANDUM September 27, 1979 TO: Jim Hanson Building Division FROM: Gordon Y. Ericksen, Planning Director BY: Roger J. Blaylock, Associate Planner <` RE: RAINIER SAND & GRAVEL CO. The request by Hos Brothers Bulldozing, Inc. to remove 20,000 cubic yards of fill from the Rainier Sand & Gravel Company ' s site located adjacent to the Maple Valley Highway cannot be granted because the site is presently in non-compliance with requirements of Special Use Permit SP-752-74 issued to John C. Edwards in 1975. The property owner must submit a program for immediate compliance prior to further removal of sand and gravel. Please find attached a copy of those requirements in 1975. It is impractical to place those conditions on the contractor. The property owner should apply for the grading license . At that point , the 1975 conditions could be reapplied. RJB:sh Attachments - Renton Planning . emission :- Public Hearing ing December 3 , 1975 Page Four "Discussions with the applicant indicate that the pro- posed road traversing the hillside that is indicated on the plans is only meant for the future when final terracing of the scarred hillside area is complete . Until such time ( approximately four to five years according to the appli - cant) , the operation will be split between that carried on at the top of the hill and that from below and adja- cent to Maple Valley Highway. This will have a tendency to divide the traffic from the site between N . E . 4th Street and Maple Valley Highway , thereby reducing the impacts to any one street. However , either access point would not involve additional traffic impacts to any resi - dential neighborhood . Some blacktop paving is planned adjacent to Maple Valley Highway . This will cause much of the debris on a truck to fall off-site prior to enter- ing the public right-of-way . 'ACTION : The Special Studies Committee recommends approval of the revised application as per the letter dated October 14 , 1975 , from David Kennedy , the applicant ' s representative and consultant , and the revised plans as received on November 10 , 1975 , and November 25 , 1975 , subject to the following conditions : 1 . Final Public Works Department approval of detailed drainage plans with suitable storm water retention facilities and erosion control methods to reduce impacts both on and off the site . Runoff from the site shall be free of • sediment . Drainage and retention facilities shall be continuously maintained to insure maximum operational efficiency. 2. Final Planning Department approval of erosion control methods and landscaping/screening/berming plans . Plans shall include minimum five foot high berm with evergreen type trees and shrubs to be located outside of fence adjacent to Maple val - . ley Highway and residences adjacent to the operation . • 3 . Provision of minimum eight foot security fence around entire lower portion (adjacent to Maple Valley Highway) of operation . Final location of the fence and security gates shall be approved by the Planning Department . Erosion control methods shall be utilized as a continuing element of the operation and shall include but not be limited to hydroseeding and landscaping . • 4 . The existing natural hillside area beyond the boundaries of the revised application shall be maintained in its natural state and not dis- turbed any further. 5. Interim terracing to create a stable slope on the existing scarred bluff area shall be under- taken immediately and be approved by the Public Works Department and Planning Department. 6 . A rehabilitation plan including landscaping and drainage of the terraced face of the bluff shall be submitted and approved by the Planning and Public Works Departments when the terracing has been completed . 7. All equipment storage shall be adequately screened from Maple Valley Highway and adjacent residences by a view obscuring fence and berm with landscaping subject to approval of the Planning Department . 8. Maximum hours of operation and hauling shall be C from 7 : 30 a .m. to 4 : 30 p . m . on weekdays only . Renton Planning fission Public Hearing Meeting December 3 , 1975 Page Five 9. All public rights-of-way shall be kept free of mater- ial and shall be washed and swept when necessary in such a manner as to not allow mud and debris to enter the Cedar River . 10 . Suitable dust control methods shall be utilized when necessary . 11 . The applicant shall post a $25 , 000 performance bond with the City to insure the completion of the above requirements . 12 . The driveways and access road onto Maple Valley Highway shall be paved a sufficient distance back from the road to adequately reduce the amount of debris falling from the trucks onto the public • . right-of-way . Activities and access shall be con- tained as much as possible to the top of the hill and N . E . 4th Street . If necessary , additional devices shall be required to effectively control mud and debris on public roads . 13 . This permit shall not preclude the applicant from rehabilitation efforts outside the boundaries of the application as are needed for safety and environ- • mental purposes and that are approved by the Planning and Public Works Departments . This shall not include the disturbance of areas previously undisturbed . 14 . The length of the permit is to be five years until December 3 , 1980 , and subject to Planning Commission Special Permit review at that time . The operation will also be subject to yearly review by the appli - cable City departments as per ordinance requirements . 15 . The terracing of the existing scarred hillside is to be completed within two years . 16 . Subject to staff approval of the location of the on-site storage ( structure ( s ) . 17 . Subject to Public Works Department approval of all access and egress to all site operation areas . " • The Planning Director indicated basic concurrence by the con- sulting engineer and the staff in the Committee ' s recommenda- ' tions . Indicating his concern for the protection of the applicant ' s and citizens ' rights , Commissioner Gibson offered copies of the Committee report to interested parties . Responding to an invitation for further comment by tree Chair- man , Mr. Kennedy stated that he felt the activity would not be unreasonably detrimental to surrounding areas , indicated the acceptability of the special conditions , and asked for approval of the special use application . Further discussion followed with particular attention to the storm water problems noted by Mrs : Hull and a resulting ponding area . Mr . Carprine and Mr . Kennedy indicated the matter would be brought to Mr . Edwards ' attention and be investigated . With reference to the State Environmental Policy Act , Mr . Ericksen stated that it was felt that a declaration of non'- significant impact was appropriate in view of the fact the loperation is in existence and that the controls imposed can result in a positive impact . , 4., ,, ,,,, FT , ..., CITY OF RENTON �.

EDWARDS SPECIAL PERMIT - REVISED APPLICATION SP-752-74 'The Special Studies Committee met on many occasions including November 24 , 1975 , to review and discuss the proposed surface mining operation . Because of the initial adverse response from nearby residents regarding various environmental concerns and the unsafe and untidy conditions that characterize the site at the present time , it was necessary that the Committee study all 'aspects of the operation in detail . The primary concerns were potential impacts to the Cedar River and the impacts to adjacent 'properties . Input was requested and received from the Department of Fisheries , Department of Ecology, the Department of Natural Resources , and the City of Renton Engineering Division . All of these agencies felt that the drainage and retention plans as proposed , with possible minor changes or additions , would be sufficient to ,preclude erosion , siltation , and pollution off the site , especially with regard to the Cedar River. !Interim terracing of the existing scarred bluff area was also !felt to be of primary importance because of the safety, visual , and erosion problems that now exist. 'The safety and visual impacts could also be reduced by fencing , screening , berming , landscaping , and general cleanup of the lower operations/access area adjacent to Maple Valley Highway and ,the Maplewood residential subdivision . Discussions with the applicant indicate that the proposed road traversing the hillside that is indicated on the plans is only meant for the future . when final terracing of the scarred hill - (side area is complete. Until such time (approximately four to five years according to the applicant ) , the operation will be ',split between that carried on at the top of the hill and that from below and adjacent to Maple Valley Highway. This will have a tendency to divide the traffic from the site between N . E . 4th Street and Maple Valley Highway, thereby reducing the impacts to any one street. However, either access point would not involve additional traffic impacts to any residential neighborhood . Some blacktop paving is planned adjacent to Maple Valley Highway . ;This will cause much of the debris on a truck to fall off on-site prior to entering the public right-of-way. ACTION : The Special Studies Committee recommends approval of the revised application as per the letter dated October 14 , 1975 , from David Kennedy, the applicant ' s representative and consultant , and the revised plans as received on November 10 , 1975 , and November 25 , 1975 , subject to the following conditions : 1 . Final Public Works Department approval of detailed drainage plans with suitable storm water retention facilities and erosion control methods to reduce impacts both on and off the site . Runoff from the site shall be free of sediment. Drainage and retention facilities shall be continuously maintained to insure maximum operational efficiency . 2 . Final Planning Department approval of erosion control methods and landscaping/screening/berming plans . Plans shall include minimum five foot high berm with evergreen type trees and shrubs to be located outside of fence adjacent to Maple Valley Highway and residences adjacent to the operation . Special Studies Committee Committee Report December 3 , 1975 • Page Two • • 3 . Provision of minimum eight foot security fence around entire lower portion (adjacent to Maple Valley Highway) of operation. Final location of the fence and security gates shall be approved by the Planning Department. Erosion control methods shall be utilized as a continuing element of the operation and shall include but not be limited to hydroseeding and landscaping . 4. The existing natural hillside area beyond the boundaries of the. revised application shall be maintained in its natural state and not disturbed any further . 5 . Interim terracing to create a stable slope on the existing scarred bluff area shall be undertaken immedi - ately and be approved by the Public Works Department and Planning Department. 6. A rehabilitation plan including landscaping and drainage of the terraced face of the bluff shall be submitted and approved by the Planning and Public Works Departments when the terracing has been completed . 7 . All equipment storage shall be adequately screened from Maple Valley_ Highway and adjacent. residences by a view obscuring fence and berm with landscaping subject to approval of the Planning Department . 8. Maximum hours of operation and hauling shall be from 7 : 30 a . m. to 4 : 30 p .m. on weekdays only. 9 .

PRftllMy STAFF REPORT SUBJECT TO REVISION DECEMBER 3, 1975 APPLICANT: JOHN C . EDWARDS APPLICATION : SPECIAL USE PERMIT NO . SP-752-74 FOR SURFACE MINING OPERATION - REVISED APPLICATION LOCATION : North of Maple Valley Highway just east of the Puget Power transmission line in the vicinity of 2930 S . E . 5th St . ZONING : S- 1 COMMENTS : 1 . Applicant has reduced his application from ±90 acres to ±27 acres plus 7 acres access/ storage/retention pond area along the Maple Valley Highway. 2 . The revised site area is primarily limited to the top of the existing bluff and the existigg,_disturbed area on the face of the bluff . 3 . The south facing bluff will be terraced , and reseeding , thus relieving a hazardous situation ( slope 2H to IV ) . 4. The written explanation , together with the revised drainage plans , indicate on-site storm water retention ponds together with a series of drainage ditches and culverts . There will be a retention pond at the top of the bluff and one at the bottom of the bluff. The facilities are designed for a 25 year storm frequency . Final plans must be approved by the Public Works Depart- ment to insure proper drainage and reduce erosion problems on site and sedimentation problems off-site and in the adjacent Cedar River . Department of Ecology , Depart- ment of Fisheries , Department of Natural Resources , and the City Engineering Division have reviewed, the revised plans and find them generally acceptable and capable of controlling off-site drainage problems . 5 . The applicant proposes standard reseeding erosion control practices . All slopes and terraces will be seeded , fertilized and mulched where topsoil is necessary to achieve a permeable surface for the grass . Seeding and rehabilitation should proceed with the operation to maintain slope integrity, control erosion , and reduce visual blight. Interim terracing of the presently unsafe hillside will begin imme- diately . 6 . The applicant also has presented landscaping , fencing and screening plans . These are felt to be very important especially with respect to reduction of the visual and safety aspects of the lower operation adjacent to the Maple Valley Highway and the nearby single family residences . The proposed plan will not disturb the existing natural hillside area . STAFF REPORT DECEMBER 3 , 1975 PAGE TWO The applicant proposes berming with ever- green trees and shrubs along Maple Valley Highway to screen the lower operations area . The berming will also give added height for screening the hillside area. Additional evergreen trees will be needed along the residential area for screening . 7 . The applicant has indicated a general phasing of the operation in three areas . These were roughly shown on a map and briefly explained in the written amend- ment . Areas A and B will operate from the top 'Of the hill and be somewhat con- stant . Area C is the terracing of the hillside which will be more intermittent although some interior terracing will be needed immediately . 8. The applicant has submitted cross sections of the revised operation . 9. The proposed road traversing the hillside will not be constructed immediately but will gradually be built as final terracing is completed . Thus , the traffic impact will be divided between the operations at the top of the hill and those connected with the terracing from the bottom area adjacent to Maple Valley Highway . 10 . The revised application consists of approxi - mately two million cubic yards of material ( sand , gravel , fill and overburden ) . The time span of the operation is estimated at 10-20 years . 11 . The Special Studies Committee has reviewed the application . STAFF RECOM— MENDATIONS : Approval of the revised application as explained in the letter from Dave Kennedy dated October 14 , 1975 , and the plans received November 10 , 1975 , and November 25 , 1975 . 1 . Final Public Works Department approval of detailed drainage plans with suitable storm water retention facilities and erosion con- trol methods to reduce impacts both on and off the site . Runoff from the site shall be free of sediment . Drainage and retention facilities shall be continuously maintained to insure maximum operational efficiency . 2 . Final Planning Department approval of erosion control methods and landscaping/screening/ berming plans . Plans shall include minimum five foot high berm with evergreen type trees and shrubs to be located outside of fence adjacent to Maple Valley Highway and resi - dences adjacent to the operation . my STAFF REPORT DECEMBER 3 , 1975 PAGE THREE 3 . Provision of minimum eight foot security fence around entire lower portion ( adjacent to Maple Valley Highway) of operation . Final location of the fence and security gates shall be* approved by the Planning Department . Erosion control methods shall be utilized as a continuing element of the operation and shall include but not be limited to hydro- seeding and landscaping . 4. The existing natural hillside area beyond the boundaries of the revised application shall be maintained in its natural state and not disturbed any further . 5 . Interim terracing to create a stable slope on the existing scarred bluff area shall be undertaken immediately and be approved by the Public Works Department and Planning Departments . 6 . A rehabilitation plan including landscaping and drainage of the terraced face of the bluff shall be submitted and approved by the Planning and Public Works Departments when the terracing has been completed . 7 . All equipment storage shall be adequately screened from Maple Valley Highway and adjacent residences by a view obscuring fence and berm with landscaping subject to approval of the Planning Department . 8. Maximum hours of operation and hauling shall be from 7 : 30 a .m . to 4 : 30 p . m . on weekdays only . 9 . All public rights-of-way shall be kept free of material and shall be washed and swept when necessary in such a manner as to not allow mud and debris to enter the Cedar River. 10 . Suitable dust control methods shall be utilized when necessary . 11 . The applicant shall post a $25 , 000 perform- ance bond with the City to insure the com- pletion of the above requirements . 12 . The driveways and access road onto Maple Valley Highway shall be paved a sufficient distance back from the road to adequately reduce the amount of debris falling from the trucks onto the public right-of-way . Activities and access shall be contained as much as possible to the top of the hill and N . E . 4th St. If necessary , additional devices shall be required to effectively control mud and debris on public roads . 13 . This permit shall not preclude the applicant from rehabilitation efforts outside the boundaries of the application as are needed for safety and environmental purposes and that are approved by the Planning and Public Works Departments . This shall not include the disturbance of areas previously undis- turbed .

December 2, 1975 TO: Files FROM: Michael L. Smith, Assistant Planner RE: DECLARATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT FOR SPECIAL PERMIT, #SP-752-74, JOHN C. EDWARDS A declaration of non-significant Environmental Impact is made for the revised Special Permit Application #SP-752-74 , John C. Edwards, 'a mining, excavation, grading operation, for the following reasons : 1. The revised application is a substantial reduction from the original application (33 acres compared with the previous 90 acres) , and therefore reduces the impacts from the project. 2 . The proposed plan with additional conditions would actually have some positive impacts through the installation of suitable drainage and retention facilities, relieving the present safety hazard of the existing scarred bluff and uncontrolled pit area through rehabilitation and safety control measures, incorporation of visual screening of the work area and eventually the hillside, and the general clean up and regulation of the entire operation. 3. The potentially significant impacts have been addressed and mitigated through the plans and additional conditions of the approval. 4. The Department of Ecology, Department of Fisheries, Department of Natural Resources , and the Renton Engineering Division, have all reviewed the plans and did not have any significant concerns in terms of the adequacy of the plans to mitigate erosion and siltation impacts on the site, to adjacent properties, and to the Cedar River. The drainage discharge from the operation is required by state law to meet Department of Ecology water quality standards. MEMO TO FILES JOHN C. EDWARDS, #SP-752-74 DECEMBER 2, 1975 PAGE TWO 5. Revised application and conditio ns do not permit the further elimination of the existing natural hillside area adjacent to Maple Valley. The hillside operation will be confined primarily to that area previously scarred by the existing operation with minimal extension on the north side to achieve properly sloped terraces. 6. The operation was begun in the 1940 's prior to any permit or environmental requirements. Depart- ment of Natural Resources has recently issued a permit for the operation on September 24, 1971 which was subsequent to the enactment of SEPA. • MLS:ms it III f MEMORANDUM TO �c/2 f -,��� �•t-! /%� �U= �:� DATE /2—S ). -FROM `l �C � J�t•ti�t (/ I SUBJECT )641, l`. �rt.Gc-Y .`) • 124-14,,T �j ✓ ! 74- rk- c_, • • • •, • • • • • To_ The planning Commission City of Renton, Renton, Wash.

We have a nice quiet neighborhood of over 150. homes. The state already has taken a portion of our land for widening tine road. This brings us closer to the traffic to the noise and air polution. I do not feel that I want any more polution such as 'noise, air, bringing with it dust and dirt.

Smith •� Dear Mike: HARBOR AREA I reviewed the revised plans for John C. Edwards mining operation. . . The plan meets our requirements. However, one area needs clarification. The revised plan outlines a specific area of operation for Mr. Edwards. Under the conditions of the Revised Special Permit Application, Mr. Edwards cannot operate outside that outlined area. Our problem will be 'n� the land owned by Mr. Edwards and inside the Renton city limits that is i1I not covered by the Special Permit. This land may have reclamation work . that needs to be done under Washington State law. With the current conditions, Mr. Edwards doesn't have your permission to work that area. We request that a clause be added to your permit to the effect that Mr. Edwards is permitted to perform only reclamation activities on other Iiiik land inside Renton city limits adjacent to his revised plan of operation. No new mining or removal of material will be allowed, only reclamation activities. Any work in this area will be approved before commencing by both the Department of Natural Resources and your office. In this way, the total reclamation of the total area will be possible. We appreciate you keeping us informed on the progress of this permit. 00" If we can assist you in the future, please call Dave Kiehle at 825-1631. Very truly yours, BERT L.

Edwards File No. SP-752-74 Cedar River WRIA 08 The plans for the above referenced project located in the Southwest 4 of Section 16, Township 23 North, Range 5 East, W. M. in King County have been reviewed by the Department of Fisheries. The Cedar River supports a run of salmon and steelhead along with various resident species. Salmon spawning occurs in the Cedar River downstream of the confluence of this storm drain discharge. During past surface mining operations in this area large silt loads have been introduced to the river as a result of equipment tracking mud and/or debris onto the highway and then being washed into the storm drainage system. Therefore, in addition to the system designed to handle the surface water within the site, we feel that some means should be applied to prevent equipment from tracking mud and/or debris onto the highway. In the best interest of the food fishery resource, it is imparative that the water quality discharging from this area meet the Department of Ecology's water quality standards. We appreciate your cooperation in our efforts to Protect, perpetuate and manage the fishery resources of the State of Washington. Very truly yours, I Donald/W.

The retention ponds and drainage pattern for the subject site ap- pear to be adequate for the proposed operation. The only suggestion I have for improvement, related to water quality considerations, would- be to operate and maintain the retention ponds in a no dis- charge fashion, using natural seepage to release excess accumulations of water. Operation techniques such as this will minimize the effects on the Cedar River due to drainage, and are recommended by this De- partment.

Smith , Assistant Planner RE : SPECIAL STUDIES COMMITTEE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 17 , 1975 ATTENDANCE : Larry Gibson , Chairman , Special Studies Committee • Bylund Wik , Member Logan Garrison , Member Michael Smith , Staff Member = ITEM I : JOHN C. EDWARDS , Special Permit #SP-752-74 Mike Smith , Assistant Planner , gave the Committee a status report on the subject application . He read a communication to Mr. Kennedy , Consultant for the applicant , regarding the questions raised by the Commission members at the November 12 , 1975 Administrative meeting and those questions raised •by the Engineering Division . Discussion ensued regarding these concerns . The applicant had not yet responded to these questions but as soon as he does , Mike indicated he would contact the Committee . Of particular concern was the access road , the timing of its construction , and its intended use . Several alternatives were discussed to reduce potential impacts of such a road . It was felt that most of the truck activity should be confined to the existing access onto N . E . 4th Street to control the negative impacts to Maple Valley Highway , the Cedar River , and adjacent residences . Another serious concern discussed was the timing and method of interim terracing and an ongoing rehabilitation program for the existing scarred bluff. The Committee felt' that interim rehabilitation of the bluff should begin . as - soon as possible because of the safety and environmental problems presently existing . The adequacy of the drainage plans was also discussed in con- junction with comments received from the Engineering Division . FILES-SPECIAL STUDIES COMMITTEE MEETING NOVEMBER 19 , 1975 PAGE TWO ACTION : It was determined that another n meet committee 1 meeting would be necessary with the applicant and his consultant in order to clarify the additional concerns expressed by the Commission and other departments and agencies . ITEM II : GLACIER PARK COMPANY , SPECIAL PERMIT #SP-822-75 Mike Smith briefly explained the study being conducted on the Valley drainage situation and its relation to both development potential and wildlife mitigation areas . The Valley drainage conditions and the proposed SCS drainage project were then discussed , in terms of their relationship to the proposed application . It was felt that the study , now being conducted and scheduled to be completed near the end of December , will present significant information and alternative courses of action for the eventual industrial development of the Valley area and possible wetland preservation alternatives compatible to this industrial development. ACTION : Because of the significance of this drainage study it is felt that the granting of a total permit to fill a majority of the Valley would be untimely until the information and alternatives to be presented in the study are thoroughly reviewed. However , the committee feels that a reasonable partial permit should be granted at this time to allow filling within the phasing schedule proposed by Glacier Park and within areas that may not have a significant impact on the effectiveness of the study and its alternatives . Because of these concerns and the fact that a full scale fill and grade operation cannot begin until the drier Spring weather occurs , the committee feels that a partial permit for Phase 1 as shown on sheet 11/ 11 of the plans should be granted at this time subject to certain conditions . Con- sideration of subsequent phases shall proceed upon completion of the review of the present drainage study . Additional approval conditions include ; 1 . Suitable on-site drainage retention and siltation control to prevent siltation of Springbrook Creek anti the Green River. This situation shall be monitored during the fill • operation by the applicant and Public Works Department , and methods to control drainage and siltation on-site presented in the EIS , or any other methods , shall be utilized as per approval of the Public Works Department .

Maximum hours of operation shall be from 7 : 30 A.M . to 4 : 00 P . M. on weekdays only . 4 . Public streets affected by the operation shall be kept free of debris and shall be swept and flushed when necessary . 5 . Suitable dust control methods shall be utilized when necessary . 6 . Posting of a bond (approximately $25 ,000 to $50 ,000 range ) to insure compliance with the above requirements . 7 .

Smith, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: SPECIAL PERMIT NUMBER SP-752-74 ,^✓(s D EP Dear Mr. Smith: This letter is in specific response to the meeting on September 4, 1975. At that time you requested a "written" request to amend the subject appli- cation. We have previously provided you with a legal description of the reduced area to be covered by said permit. We have previously submitted a legal description of the reduced area of operations. We understand that we are in concurrence on the boundaries of that area. With that concurrence we officially request an amendment to subject application for a special permit. Additional information requested with the revised plan is contained herein. The anticipated phasing and progression of the operation is proposed in four areas which are shown on the specially marked print enclosed with the plan. The A area is an extension both vertically and horizontally of the removal of the fine sand in that area where the operation is currently underway by Segali. Area B is a thick run removal area and an area of removal of overburden to allow continued expansion of the area A. Area C is the terracing of the steep south facing• bluff which is approximately 250 feet in height. This terracing is as recommended by Dames and Moore, the soils engineers who reported: "The overall slope of the bluff face is very steep. It averages approximately 1:1 (horizontal to vertical) or steeper; short vertical sections are common. The upper zone of clean sand and gravel, which is normally consolidated, will not stand for a long period of time at slopes as steep as the underlying glacially con- solidated material. Over a relatively short period of time the loose sand and gravel slopes will weather and slough to an inclination of about 1.5:1, which generally is a stable angle of repose." ///4 191 FIRST AVENUE •SEATTLE,WASHINGTON 98101 • (206)624-2623 B/W`S -clC� p City of Renton Planning Department Page 2 October 14, 1975 "We recommend that all finished grading on the steeper slope areas above the lower level of the site be excavated in native soil rather than con- structed of compacted fill. The proposed grading plans suggest that this procedure is anticipated, although no differentiation between cut and fill is indicated." Interim terracing is only anticipated in Phase C. This interim terracing is necessary prior to the final terracing to be established from the "throat" of the excavation. The revised boundary will bring the special permit site entirely within property owned by Rainier Sand and Gravel and only touch other ownerships on approximately 300 feet in the northeast corner. This adjoining property is another gravel pit owned by King County. The boundary between these two properties is currently fenced. The adjoining properties on all sides are pock marked by excavations. The most hazardous area of the entire site is the natural south facing bluff that expands along substantial portions of the Cedar River. Due to ownership of the properties and conditions of the surrounding properties, fencing serves no purpose until such time as the excavation nears its maximum area contained within the revised permit. In fact, we could carry this one step further, screening or landscaping of this property from the adjoiners which are also wholly owned and are used for similar purposes accomplishes no real purpose. Therefore it is not proposed at this time that any fencing, berms or screening will be utilized. Landscaping and erosion control methods to be utilized shall be similar to those methods used by the State Highway Department; in effect, all slopes and terraces will be seeded, fertilized and mulched where topsoil is necessary to achieve a permeable surface for the grass that shall be added from available stockpiles on the site. The normal surface areas of sand will not need topsoil. Seeding shall be as specified in Section 8-01.3(4)A of all the State of Washington "Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction", 1972 edition. Drainage plans will be developed for the site with the specific goal in mind of controlling runoff and erosion as it specifically pertains to surrounding properties and the Cedar River. These drainage plans will be designed to use the modified rational method to size the reten- tion and siltation ponds that are necessary. A 25-year rainfall frequency of occurence will be used. To give you an indication of what these mean we have used an estimated 40-acre drainage area. This allows for some inflow from areas outside the permit area. A runoff flow for an area of that size and such gradient slope as we are referring to is 10.7 cfs. Normal outflow for an area of this size would be 2 cfs. The difference between the peak runoffs and the "normal" outflow would require a temporary retention pond of the size of approximately 70' by 100' by 2' deep. This City of Renton Planning Department Page .3 October 14, 1975 will ensure' removal of all traces of silt. It is our proposal that there actually be two ponds -- one each on the easterly and the westerly side of the "throat" in the operational area adjacent to the Renton-Maple Valley Highway. A detailed design of these facilities is premature until concurrence is received on the issuance of the special use permit and is more properly covered in the provisions for licensing by the Department of Public Works. At this time there is no specific anticipated reuse of this site. At such time as reuse is proposed, applications and plans shall be submitted to the City of Renton. Those plans shall conform to the City's Comprehensive Plan, zoning ordinances and building permit procedures. A part of the reuse plan, would be final rehabilita- tion methods utilized to make such reuse feasible. We hope that the Development Committee can meet on this matter promptly with the thoughts that we can get back to the City of Renton's Planning Commission on October 22, 1975. What is and has not been covered above and/or in the plan submitted herewith can perhaps be covered at that time. Sincerely, MOORE, WALLACE & KENNEDY, INC. C By d7. David A.

EDWARDS , SPECIAL PERMIT FILE NO . SP-752-74 , FOR SURFACE MINING OPERATION DISCUSSION : Michael Smith gave a brief overview of the amended applica- tion indicating the reduction in size from that originally proposed . Mr . Dave Kennedy , engineering consultant for the appli - cant , then gave a further explanation of the revised application and proposed operation . He indicated that as proposed the operation would not affect the existing natural hillside area . The existing scarred bluff face would be made safe by terracing and rehabilitation (phase C ) . The major portion of the operation would be from the top of the hill ( phases A and B of the proposed plan ) . The actual top of the existing bluff would be lowered 40 ' to 60 ' at its lowest point . Mr. Kennedy indicated the life span of the proposed opera- tion to be ±20 years . The Committee felt that additional cross-section plans of the terracing should be provided to better visualize the proposal . The applicant agreed . Mr. Gibson asked about the proposed drainage plans and the impacts to the river and adjacent properties . Mr. Gibson stated that he wanted the State Department of Fisheries to review the plans . Mr. Kennedy explained that the plans are to construct and maintain two reten- tion ponds at the bottom of the hill and that to his knowledge there has never been an impact on the river created by this operation . The question was raised as to on-site drainage facilities along the hillside areas and terraces to control on-site drainage , erosion , and slope integrity . Mr . Kennedy said this would be similar to what was proposed in the original application . It was felt that the proposed drainage facilities for the revised application should be shown on the plans . Tom Touma of the Engineering Division said that he would probably agree with, the drainage plans as proposed , but he wished to see them in plan form to properly review them. The applicant agreed to provide these plans . Another concern discussed was rehabilitation and the intended future use of the site . Mr. Gibson indicated that rehabilitation of the site should be geared toward creating a useful site for future development that is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan . Mr. Kennedy indicated that standard rehabilitation would be utilized . Mr . Smith indicated that a detailed rehabilitation plan could be required as a later phase of the operation . The Committee was also concerned about the operations area at the bottom of the hill particularly with respect to safety and visual impacts . Mr. Edwards and Mr. Ken- nedy said that they will be installing a security fence Lam. • Special Studies Committee Meeting November 3 , 1975 Page Two around the entire lower area . In response to the visual question , they indicated they would screen the area adja- cent to the highway and the houses immediately affected with trees . They also indicated agreement with combining the landscaping with . a five foot berm in these areas . It was also indicated that the equipment storage area would need to be defined and screened accordingly . They said that they would also provide plans for these aspects of the operation . ACTION : The Committee requested additional plans . including : 1 ) on-site drainage plans 2 ) cross-sections of slopes 3 ) landscape , screening , operations area plans Mr . Kennedy indicated he would have these plans available to the committee within one week . The committee indicated if this could be accomplished , they would be prepared to recommend a public hearing date of November 26 , 1975 , be set at the November administrative meeting . Mr . Smith indicated that when the requested plans are received , the Planning Department will solicit the Department of Fisheries input . SUBJECT : (2 ) GLACIER PARK COMPANY , SPECIAL PERMIT FILE NO . SP-822-75 , FOR FILL AND GRADE DISCUSSION : Mike Smith gave a brief overview of the application and explained that the final EIS had been prepared and sent to the various concerned persons and agencies . There was discussion regarding the Glacier Park borrow pit from which the initial fill material will be taken . Using the figures presented in the EIS , the material from the borrow pit will comprise phase 1 and half of phase 2 of the fill operation . This has to be accom- plished by October 15 , 1977 . The committee also briefly discussed the operational procedures ,. phasing of the operation , and the filling of the 80 acre greenbelt proposed by the Planning Com- mission in the revised Comprehensive Plan for the Valley . ACTION : The committee wished to study the matter further after comments are received from other City departments , but did appear to favor a partial permit approach to this application . 2REMN4 PP EUV 1 � Ps4CEP®RTPREUM 1 � NARY OCTOBER 31 , 1975 SUBJECT TO REVISION, SUBJECT TO REVISION APPLICANT: JOHN C.

Applicant has reduced his application from ±90 acres to ±23 acres . 2. The revised site area is primarily limited to the top of the existing bluff and the existing disturbed area on the face of the bluff. 3 . The south facing bluff will be terraced and reseeding , thus relieving a hazardous situation (slope 2H to 1V) . 4 . No specific drainage plans have been pre- sented in the revised application ; however , the written explanation together with the previous drainage plans indicate on-site storm water retention ponds together with a series of drainage ditches and culverts , there will be a retention pond at the top of the bluff and two at the bottom of the bluff. The facilities are designed for a 25 year storm frequency. Final revised plans must be prepared and approved by the Public Works Department to insure proper drainage and reduce erosion problems on site and sedimentation problems off-site and in the adjacent Cedar River. 5. The applicant proposes standard reseeding erosion control practices . All slopes and terraces will be seeded , fertilized and • mulched where topsoil is necessary to achieve a permeable surface for the grass . Seeding and rehabilitation should proceed with the operation to maintain slope integrity , control erosion , and reduce visual blight. 6 . The applicant has presented no landscaping , fencing or screening plans to date . These are felt to be very important especially with respect to reduction of the visual and safety aspects of the lower operation adjacent to the Maple Valley Highway and the nearby single family residences . The proposed revision will not disturb the existing natural hillside area . 7. The applicant has indicated . a general phasing of the operation in four areas . These were roughly shown on a map and briefly explained in the written amendment . 8. The applicant has not submitted cross sections of the revised operation . 1 i PRELIMINARY STAFF REPORT OCTOBER 31 , 1975 PAGE TWO STAFF RECOMMENDATION : Approval of the revised application subject to : 1 .

The basic outline of the revised application was pointed out (t20 acres) as well as the entire property ownership (t80 acres) . As proposed it appears that the revised application will be contained primarily to the tope of the plateau with some encroachment into the existing natural hillside area . It appeared that a portion of the amended area included some of the existing natural hillside area at the westerly end of the site . I asked if it was possible to shift the line to the east and north so that this area would be left untouched . It was indicated that this was possible . It was apparent that Mr. Edwards has a surplus of property on the top of the plateau that should allow him to extract material for many years with- out disturbing the hillside area above Maple Valley . I indi- cated this was important in terms of environmental impact . We discussed the hillside area that has already been disturbed . It was agreed that this would need to be terraced and rehabili - tated for safety and aesthetic purposes , which would result in some continued operation from the Maple Valley side of the site . I also again stressed the need for adequate drainage and sedimentation control so as not to impact adjacent prop- erties, or the Cedar River . I asked if a grading and drainage plan had been prepared for the amended site and they said that none of the physical planning had been accomplished to date . The consultant said that he had had some difficulty in pre- paring a legal description for the amended application from the information he received from the applicant , but that he would have it completed in approximately one week. We discussed timing of the review process and I referred to our September 5 , 1975 , letter to the applicant for the neces- sary elements to complete the amended application . I said that r . • Memo to Files from Michael Smith Field trip to Edwards ' gravel operation September 17 , 1975 Page Two if given this information , the reduced scale of the applica- tion , and depending on the effectiveness of the revised plan in relieving certain critical impacts , further Environmental review may not be necessary .

They said they would try to have the necessary information to the Department within two or three weeks . MLS :vb • i - I -► OF Ft� 2 THE CITY OF RENTON n MUNICIPAL BUILDING 200 MILL AVE. SO.

This will approximately comprise the existing mined area near the Power Line Transmission Corridor and Maple Valley Highway. For purposes of facilitating review of the propose amended application the follwoing items must be adequately addressed ; 1 . Submittal of written request to amend the application with a revised legal description of that area . 2 . Submittal of revised plans including ; (a ) The anticipated phasing and progression of the operation and interim terracing and slope treatment proposed to reduce safety , erosional , and visual problems . (b) Fencing , berming , screening , landscaping , and erosion control methods to be utilized. The primary purpose of these elements should be to increase operational safety and assist in the reduction of impact to adjacent properties and the natural environment. (c ) Drainage plans suitable to control runoff and erosion as it pertains to the subject site , surrounding properties , and the Cedar River. Plans should demonstrate storm drainage and siltation control methods capable of handling the design requirements within the Mining , Excavation , and Grading Ordinance . Soil erosion and sedimentation must be adequately controlled on site . John C . Edwards September 5 , 1975 Page Two (d ) Rehabilitation methods to be utilized including slopes , terraces , slope treatment , possible drainage and runoff control methods , landscaping and buffer areas . 3 . An explanation of operational methods to be utilized including such items as hours of operation , control of dust and mud , location and maintenance of access roads , and other work procedures . 4. A general statement of the anticipated re-use of the site should be included . The re-use plan should conform to the existing Comprehensive Plan. We hope this information has clarified our concerns and will assist you in preparing your amended application . As soon as we have received the amended application request and the revised legal description we will so advise the Planning Commission . This could possibly be accomplished at the September 10 , 1975 , Commission Administrative meeting . We will also inform the Public Works Department of the forth- coming revision to your application .

EDWARDS SPECIAL PERMIT APPLICATION - FOR SURFACE MINING OPERATION , FILE NO . . SP-752-74 - APPLICATION OF STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA) Dear Mr. Edwards: At the time of the Planning Commission public hearing , both your consultant and your attorney raised several ques- tions as to whether or not the State Environmental Policy Act applied to your Special Permit for Surface Mining in the City of Renton . • In response to these questions , this Department requested a legal opinion from the City Attorney. The City Attorney has now advised that in his opinion SEPA would apply to your Special Permit request , since the state laws are superimposed upon local controls . However, if your attor- ney feels that your application for Special Permit is exempted from SEPA, it is necessary that he cite the speci - fic exemptions in order that our City Attorney may further examine the reasons for the exemption request. As you may recall , it was previously- determined that due to the nature of the proposed operation , an environmental assessment would be necessary; and both you and Mr. Kennedy were so advised on several occasions in our letters of December 18, 1974, and May 7 , 1975 . Such an assessment will be the basis for determining the need for an Environ- mental Impact Statement and is necessary due to the follow- ing concerns : 1 . Possible impacts to adjacent properties , par- ticularly the residential properties in Maple Valley . 4110 John C . Edwards July 11 , 1975 Page Two 2. Possible impacts to the Cedar River, its fisheries resources and water quality. 3 . Impact of noise , air pollution and traffic as the result of proposed operation . 4. Visual impacts anticipated . 5 . Need for review of alternative operational plans and their impacts and a means of reduc- tion of said impact. 6 . Nature of proposed redevelopment plan , includ-- . ing phases of development, time-frame antici - pated, and the rehabilitation process . As noted in our previous letters , these matters have been discussed with both you and your consultant, and an Environ- mental Impact Assessment was requested at an early date . Such assessment is necessary as a step in expediting con- sideration of your request. If you desire , we would be happy to set up a meeting with you , your attorney , and our City Attorney , in order that we may resolve your questions at an early date . Please contact me at your convenience and advise us accord- ingly. Veryitruly yours , 74/ Gordon Y . ricksen /Planning Director cc: Mayor Garrett City Attorney Shellan` David Kennedy .

Edwards Special Permit Application for Surface Mining Operation Dear Mike: • This is to acknowledge receipt of your memo received July 3, 1975 regarding thBabove captioned matter. , You undoubtedly are aware that we have written numerous opinions; :. on this general subject matter and also called your attention to the Attorney General' s Opinion issued on October 27, 1970 known as AGO 1970 No. 23, regarding the States •pre-emption of this particular subject matter as it applies to the State definitions. The City, of course, has the right to regulate matters which are not,.covered by State Law, The Opinion, of course, was issued prior to the effective date of SEPA. Assuming now that the City' s regulation of certain mining, , grading`:;;: , -' and quarrying activities are not pre-empted by State Law and: _ relate strictly to City jurisdiction not inconsistent with the State' s jurisdiction, then in that case, we know.. of no provision under SEPA which would exempt this particular action from said statute. Assuming that the responsible public official of our City has determined, after due investigation, that an environmental impact statement or assessment should be undertaken, then this may be done and treated like any other application of a substantial development which has a significant impact on the environment . - Proper •evidence, of course, should be supportive of such decision by the City official. ., If the applicant claims any exemption from the application of SEPA, ' then you should request .."him to cite the specific exemption relied , on and we shall be glad to examine it and advise you accordingly. ' It should be' remembered that our State Supreme Court has declared ' that the provisions of SEPA are for all intents and purposes "superimposed" on any existing local laws and must be complied with. If we can be of any further assistance to you in this matter, please advise. Very truly yours , 71-16/ fi Gerard M.

SP-752-74 ; special permit for existing gravel and sand excavating operation in. S- 1 zone ; property located at 2930 S . E . 5th St. The application was introduced by the Secretary and a staff presentation requested. The Planning Director noted that this is an initial pub- lic hearing under the Mining , Excavation and Grading ' . Ordinance and that an Environmental Impact Assessment ,. had . been requested on the property . Mr. Ericksen cated that the assessment had not yet been prepared and ' ; was unavailable which would preclude. any final action. 1 by the Planning Commission . The Assistant Planning Director described the existing gravel pit operation , which includes an area north of a single family area and incorporates all of one hill - side , 'and noted the boundaries of the 90' acres , which are located within the City limits . He pointed out single family residential areas in the vicinity , primarily . • the Maplewood area . Mr. Magstadt indicated that the ' Comprehensive Plan indicates the eventual use of single family, low and medium density development and a poten- tial ' for high-rise , recreational and greenbelt areas . He reviewed the present topography of the area and plans for grading and excavation and eventual regrading . Aerial photographs , slides , and maps of the area were' ' viewed. The Chairman invited comment from the applicant or his representative . • David Kennedy of Moore , Wallace , and Kennedy , 1915 - 1st Avenue , Seattle , consulting planning and engineering firm, noted that he represented John C. Edwards , also known as ' Rainier Sand and Gravel Company , and that Mr. Edwards was in. the audience. Mr. Kennedy cited the provision of the Mining , Excavation and Grading Ordinance which. directs itself primarily to the compatibility of the proposed use and adjacent uses and stated that he would primarily direct his remarks to that 'matter. Mr. Kennedy then described the history of the Edwards ' operation , noting that it was first leased by Mr. Edwards Renton Planning Commission Meeting June 25 , 1975 •Page Eight 4 , • • • from the State of Washington: in 1939 while a coal mining ,facility the land partially acquired by - auction in 1940 and, balance of the site purchased im 1946 , -at which time it was converted to Rainier Sand and Gravel Company. He stated that the volume of material removed annually since that time had, reached a maximum of 400 ,000 cubic yards . The area was annexed into the City in' 1947 . A crushing plant was erected in 1963, and settling ponds were added . Mr. Kennedy reviewed the permit procedures of the City of Renton and the State that had been met by Mr. Edwards . A permit for his grading plans was issued by the City in 19:67 , and in 1971 another permit was granted for an excavating plan . He stated that the State Department of Natural Re-' sources . had also issued the applicant a permit under their Surface Mining Operation Act' in- 1971 and that this permit, had been renewed annually since . Upon notification by the City of Renton of . the passage of their Mining , Excavation, 'and Grading Ordinance in 1974', ' an application was submitted along with an Environmental Impact Worksheet . Mr. Kennedy stated that it was their view that the Renton . Ordinance referred to compatibility of , a proposed use and that this had been an existing use for approximately thirty years . He. also noted an additional eighty acres under the same ownership outside of the City limits . Slides depicting the operation were presented by the appli- cant and described by Mr. Kennedy , who described the general area as covered with gravel pits and primarily used for ' cemeteries , municipal uses an,d gravel pits . The primary traffic flow is to Third Avenue , North and some traffic to' the east on N . E . 4th Street . During the summer months • there are twenty to forty trips' on an eight hour ' per day ' • basis on Third Avenue North . ' • He stated that ; the property is fronted on the south by the Maple . Valley Highway ( SR169) , noting that the property is bordered by major . east/west arterials on both the north and south . Mr. Kennedy stated that with regard to screening ,: . landscaping and setbacks , most of the property is fenced ;: and there is a ten foot screening easement as required .through the Department of Natural Resources .., There is an additional forty foot setback from areas adjacent to residential uses but not much landscaping . H.e described proposals for the slope treatment, when the operation is completed , stating that these plans would go forward withi.n .one year . With ; regard to unsightliness,, he stated that most of the excava- tion is not visible except from the air , with the exception of the bluff to the south . He said that bluff would continue X. to slide at a slow rate and could not be screened . Ulti - mately the problem will be resolved when it is regraded . With reference to noise and dust , he described thegeneral operation as consisting of a crushing procedure , which. is worked- primarily i.n the winter with the materials held for use during the summer.. In regard to surface drainage , Mr . Kennedy indicated that they have had' settling ponds for years and revised plans have recently, been submitted' to the Public Works Department- relative to them. ' ' Noting the requirement for Planning Commission determination that the activity would not be unreasonably detrimental ' to the surrounding area ,* he stated that there were some things that could' be detrimental but ,they feel they are no more detrimental than in the thirty years the operation has ' been in business . 'He stated ' that With regard to reuse , they did • ( Renton Planning Commission Meeting June 25 , 1975 Page Nine not have. a specific plan because they felt they could not anticipate the needs of the area in twenty years . He also stated that any reuse of the property would require some type of City approval , and they would like to see it go on that basis. He stated that he disagreed that an Environmental Impact Statement should be required because the use is an exist- ing one . He referred to the Environmental Impact Work- sheet that had been completed , noting that the site . is in an urban area , entirely surrounded by residential ' uses . He described the wildlife habitat conditions as described by RIBCO . He stated that the characteristics of the area were perhaps originally destroyed in World War II , when the site was used for testing tanks . He said there was no vegetation or place for animals to . feed. and indicated that it was his opinion , based on that and the recognition of the State Surface Mining Ordinance that extraction of minerals is a basic need , that a negative declaration of impact. could be declared on the issuance of a special permit. The Chairman declared a recess at 11 : 00 p . m. The meet- ' ing was reconvened at 11 : 05 p . m. with all members noted above in attendance . The Chairman called for continuance of the presentation from the applicant. Walter Scott Acheson , 845 106th N . E . , Bellevue , attorney for the applicant , noted that Mr. Edwards bought the property as a business venture thirty years ago for the purpose of. developing it for sand and gravel . At that time there was nothing there to interfere with that pro- posal . With regard to an Environmental Impact Assess- ment, he stated that the only reason for one would be a change in operation from the way it is now being con- ducted . It is his opinion that any change there would require an Environmental Impact Assessment but not other- wise. He stated that refusing Mr. Edwards a permit to continue his operation would be taking from him any ' rights or value to that property and that it may be ' necessary that he be paid damages for his loss . He noted that the Company is the main supplier of sand and gravel in this area . Agreeing that while the opera- tion scars the land , Mr . Acheson stated that it is a necessary function , not too visible from a road , and in his opinion not an unreasonable activity . Referring to the requirement for a reuse plan in the Ordinance , Mr. Acheson indicated that it was difficult to foresee community needs twenty years in advance , but that the Company planned to cut the area into benches and to hydroseed it . The Chairman asked for questions to Mr . Acheson from the Commission , but none were offered . Noting no fur- ther input from the applicant ' s representatives , he invited comment from the audience . Earline Bala , 3121 S . E. 5th , Renton , a Maplewood home- . owner , stated that the people of Maplewood were pleased that the Planning Director has requested an Environmental Impact Assessment . She noted that they have obtained the services of an attorney , but that he was out of town and unable to be in attendance . She presented a petition • containing 174 names of home-owners in. the neighborhood , . , who objected to the granting of a special permit for this Renton Planning Commission ' ' Meeting June 25 , 1975 Page Ten operation on the, basis' of unsightliness , excessive noise , dirt , dust , increased traffic , and increased water runoff . Mrs . ' Bala stated that none of Mr. ' Edwards ' tenants were approached to sign the petition . She said that Mr. Edwards had been asked by the home- owners on S . E . 5th to fill in the moss that had been removed , but that has not been accomplished . It is their opinion that the operation is lowering the value of adjacent property without just compensation . Mrs . Bala indicated that Mr . Edwards owned approxi - mately fifteen to twenty homes 'in the area , which are largely unmaintained and are contributing to the lowering of their property values'. The resi - dents do not want the hillside disturbed because of the trees and the animals that feed and water in the vicinity. Mr. Ba=l.a. noted water and dirt runoff from the hill above Maplewood had blocked Maplewood Highway traffic . The residents object to trucks in the area and have to listen to -tractors operating on the hill as early as 4 : 00 a . m. She cited instances of long-term residents who suf- fer from lung diseases and allergies which are aggravated by the conditions created by the Company ' s activities . She requested that notices of further public hearings affecting their area be sent to all home-owners . She asked that the Edwards ' operation be confined to the area up on the hill and out of their neighborhood . • The Chairman invited questions from the Commission . The Planning Director , i`n response to Commission ' , questioning in regard to the beginning of the opera- tion in 1946 , indicated that with reference to Mr. Edwards ' original operation , the basic question was , was the current operation there prior to the time - of purchase . Mrs . Bala indicated that their home was purchased in January of of 1965 and' built in 1940 . They were told by several real estate representatives that ' Mr . Edwards had applied for a permit to - take sand and gravel from the area and had been denied that' per- mit . The Planning Director also indicated that notices had been mailed primarily to adjacent home-owners as a courtesy , which is in addition to the legal posting and advertising requirements . He stated that noticeswould be provided upon request to the Planning Department . ` Marty Brunetteo , 3205 S . E . 5th , Renton , stating that he wished to take exception to the statement by the applicant ' s representative that wildlife were not affected by the activity , said he is an avid hunter and finds that not to be the case . He cited observations of coyotes , cottontail rab- bits , raccoons , and two herds of deer within a 'mile ' s driving distance of the operation . He noted that runoff from the hill would destroy the - meadow beneath it. ' Responding to Commissioner Gibson , he stated that he had seen water runoff twice into the Cedar River. Renton Planning Commission Meeting June 25 , 1975 ' Page Eleven Charles Guy , 3101 S . E . 5th , Renton , indicating that he had lived in the area for thirty years , spoke in support of the operation and stated that the gravel pit was there , when he moved into the area . He said it was his opinion that Mr. Edwards had the right to make a living off of his property, inasmuch as there are other gravel pits and a garbage dump in the vicinity . He disagreed that dust , dirt , and grime were a problem and that his property had decreased in value , based on the increase in taxes . In response to questioning by Commissioner Teegarden , Mr. Guy stated that the housing development had been built during World War II by the government to assist war workers . Joyce Scott , 3609 S . E. 6th P1 . , Renton , stated that it was not their intention to stop Mr . Edwards from having a business but that they were concerned regard- ing the wooded hillside and meadow area and the animals living there . With regard to the Maplewood Highway , she agreed that there was a lot of traffic at peak hours and on weekends , but that for the most part it is a quiet area and a pleasant place to live . Dan Kingray , 3401 S . E . 7th , Renton , stating that he felt that no one has really given consideration to some of Mr. Edwards ' problems , suggested that a statement of worth relative to the parcel of land be provided . With reference to the matter of runoff, he indicated that he had not noticed any from the property but cited the problem created from the development of the Fairwood area , and therefore he questioned the wisdom of terracing.. ' He said the residents were there with regard to the Val - ley wall , feeling that the operation should be restricted to the center of the property , and that extention of the operation would abut against residential property. Mae Hull , 3428 S . E . 5th , Renton , noting that her husband is a victim of emphysema , stated that the dust does bother him. She also cited unmaintained rental homes owned by • Mr . Edwards in the area , including the house next door to their home . Joe Wilson , 3009 S . E . 5th , Renton , stated that seven years ago Mr. Edwards cut the trees down on his site , creating a runoff down that hill . He said his fireplace was affected by the runoff in that it had sunk four to six inches . He requested that the gravel pit be confined to the top of the hill . Commissioner Teegarden stated that in connection with remarks made regarding the Cedar River , he wished to advise the people that the Commission has received a letter from the Public Works Department expressing con- cern over the effects to the River and that would cer- tainly be taken into consideration by the Commission and indicated that the City recognizes the concern . Noting that this is the first hearing on this matter under the Mining , Excavation and Grading Ordinance , Mr . Teegarden said it was his feeling that it would take time to evaluate the application . Chet Hawes , 3121 S . E . 6th , Renton , cited an accident that had occurred the previous winter due to the effects of the Rainier Sand and Gravel trucks traversing the Maple- wood Highway enroute to Earlington and creating hazardous conditions . Renton Planning Commission Meeting. June 25 , 1975 Page Twelve June Stack , 30.18 S. E . 5th Street , Renton , indicated that at least nine of Mr. Edwards ' houses have 'been torn dawn du,e to neglect and stated that others should also be removed for that reason . Noting other items on the agenda , the Chairman invited discussion from the Commission relative to consideration of other applications prior to acceptance of further pub- lic input regarding the Edwards ' application . Discussion followed with the Commissioners noting `that final action could not be taken until after review of the Environmental Impact Assessment . The suggestion was made by Commissioner Mola that the, neighborhood select a spokes- man for the group . ACTION: . MOVED BY TEEGARDEN, SECONDED BY MOLA, THAT THE JOHN C. EDWARDS APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL PERMIT FOR AN EXISTING GRAVEL AND SAND EXCAVATING OPERATION IN AN S-1 ZONE BE CONTINUED AND REFERRED TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE FOR STUDY ALONG WITH THE STAFF WITH THE UNDER- STANDING THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION FEELS THAT NO ACTION CAN BE TAKEN UNTIL AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT HAS BEEN PREPARED. Discussion followed , and it was noted that when the issue of an Environmental Impact Assessment is settled , a com- mittee meeting can be called , a date set for the :next pub- lic hearing , and interested parties invited. On the question , MOTION CARRIED. i recess was declared at 12 : 07 a. m. with the meeting, resumed at 12 : 15 a . m. All Commissioners noted above were present . SITE APPROVAL: E AIRPORT .SPECIALTIES ; Appl . No . SA-829-75 ; site approval for Aircraft Hangars in a P- 1 zone and Cedar, River Water- way ; property located in the Renton Municipal Airport adjacent to the Cedar River. The Planning Director noted that pursuant to the request of the Airport Director , consideration of the application should be continued to the July 9th administrative meeting to allow study by the Council Aviation Committee relative 'to the Shore- line Master Plan . The Chairman asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to comment . Several comments were received with regard to the effect of the development on public access to the Cedar River , to which the Planning Director responded that the area is presently not a public access .area . Mark Iozzio , 255 - 1st Ave . N. W. , Issaquah , indicating that he came as a representative of a group that uses the area for jogging , stated that they wish to make the Commission aware that the proposal falls within the jurisdiction of the Shoreline Management Act and requested that he be notified of a future public hearing . ACTION: MOVED BY TEEGARDEN, SECONDED BY RIVILY, THAT THE APPLICATION BE CONTINUED TO THE JULY 9TH ADMINISTRATIVE MEETING . MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. On STAFF REPORT JUNE 25 , 1975 APPLICATION : SPECIAL PERMIT APPLICANT : JOHN C . EDWARDS LOCATION : The property is located at 2930 S . E . 5th Street. ZONING : S-1 and B-1 APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE ZONING CODE : SECTION 4 Mining., Excavation and Grading Ordinance. REQUEST : Applicant requests a special permit to operate a sand and gravel mining operation in S-1 and B-1 zones . COMMENTS : . 1 . Mr. Edwards was informed on December 6 , 1974 that an Environmental Impact Assess- ment needs to be prepared so that it can be determined whether there will be any significant environmental impact and whether an Environmental Impact Statement needs to be prepared . • David Kennedy of Moore , Wallace and Kennedy , Inc. , an engineering firm pre- paring Mr . Edwards ' special permit appli- cation , informed the Department on May 21 , 1975 that the Environmental Impact Assess- ment would be prepared when there is some concurrence on the application for the permit , such as the scheduling of a public hearing . As to date , the Environmental Impact Assessment has not been submitted to the Planning Department for review. 2 . The Comprehensive plan for this property indicated single-family residential use and green belt use in the future . The rehabilitation plan as submitted in the special permit application showed a shopping center complex . We have asked the applicant to submit a new rehabilitation plan that would be in conformance with the City ' s Comprehensive Plan . STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS : Recommend continuance until an Environmental Impact Assessment has been prepared and until a site re-use plan has been prepared that conforms to the Comprehensive Plan . In depth study of the impacts this operation will have on the surrounding area , the specific site in question and the Cedar River will need to be made , therefore , further information is needed to properly assess these impacts . . . • #)1(-444/ra./ 22.eir, 4 .- 14,1-e-W1 Gaa-4'b 91re'j ', i e ii:i& ri--‘-‘' )(J2 fe462L171 :72a- ‘1"4A• axi.. .. /..t-LA-beff4,. 4fr-M //1..a: 2/ 2 ,efr-x--/-‘- 16,e90,,,:,e .civ64,:tr-11-c-2-ti . -• .J.--. e, 2 ViPv, 6ceizeit &,A.IftteLiJ tz-a-d-, a--ti-L- 41- . .t7e-L2 .1'-4- e-zAt.

The pit is upstream from the City well complex at Liberty Park. The City pumps water from Shallow infiltration' weZZs, close to the Cedar River banks. The City wells Zie in porous gravel which may allow pollutants to freely pass from the river water to the well. The present status of the Edwards Pit is not conducive to good water quality in the Cedar. The present Edward's proposal will only add to the accumulative adverse impacts to the Cedar River. The Department recommends that the Edwards Pit include these major points to protect water quality. 1. Preserve or restore "Green Belts"of vegetation along surface run off channels, steep sloped areas and along Maple Valley Highway. 2. Settlement ponds and ground water recharge facilities. 3. "0" runoff - no increase in surface runoff from pre-development condition of site. 4. Limit pit operation to only portion of site at any given time, with remainder of site under protective trees and ground cover. This will reduce potential water quality problems. 5. Restoration of site after completion of pit operations. Including trees and ground cover. 6. Developer sponsored water quality monitoring program. City, Pit Operator and Department of Ecology shall cooperate in setting and monitoring water quality levels. A continuous program utilizing automatic devices should be used. ;yip\ RB:pmp F ,�`.

The . 66 acre site directly south of the Moritz property was described by Mr. Smith . It was noted that there are no plans for the property at this time. The Comprehensive Plan desig- nates the area as medium density, multi -family residential district . In response to an inquiry from Commissioner Gibson , Mr . Smith indicated that sewers would be necessary for develop- , ment of the site . SPECIAL PERMIT: D. JOHN C. EDWARDS ; Appl . No . SP-752-74 ; special permit for existing gravel and sand excavating operation in S- 1 zone ; property located at 2930 S . E . 5th St . It was noted that 90 acres of the existing gravel. pit are loca- ted within the City of Renton. Its locale off the Maple Valley Highway and north and west of the Maplewood area was pointed, out by Mr. Smith . The request for review is pursuant to the ' Mining , Excavation and Grading Ordinance. Existing zoning is S- 1 . While the present use is a gravel pit , it is proposed to ultimately develop the area for various residential uses , combined with greenbelt and recreational areas . The Compre- hensive Plan for the property indicates a combination of single family residential ; low, medium and high density multi - family , recreational and greenbelt uses . It was noted that the property is about 1350 feet in depth within the City ; topographical and natural characteristics of the site were described. The proposed excavation plan and provisions for drainage were noted. There is no operation at this time . The Planning Director noted items to 'be considered will involve processing of the plan , the long-range process and rehabilitation of the site . Mr. Smith noted that the reuse plan submitted indicates plans for a commercial shopping cen- ter facility which is not in agreement with the Comprehensive Plan . .. k I TILE CITY OF RENTON Z o MUNICIPAL BUILDING 200 MILL AVE.

These are: 51 (a) Environmental checklist; 6 , (b) Threshold determination; • 71 (c) Draft and final EIS . 8 Each of these is summarized below. 1 91 (2) Environmental Checklist. A private applicant 10 is required to complete an environmental checklist [See 11; WAC 197-10-365] either concurrently with or after filing 12 the application. Explanations for each "yes" and "maybe" 13' indicated thereon may be required. :Agencies.-- may not require._; 14' a. complete assessment or_.''minit_t___EIS__at.._this._stage [See 151 WAC 197-10-310. ] 161 (3) Threshold Determination. The lead agency 17 shall make an initial review of a completed environmental 18 checklist without requiring more of a private applicant. 19' If, and only if, the lead agency determines as a result of I 20 its initial review that the information available to it is 21 not reasonably sufficient to determine the environmental 22 impacts of the proposal, the lead agency may require further 23 information from the applicant in the form of a"? rtiaD 24 assessment. :This assessment shall be limited to those elementst 25 on_ the environmental checklist for which, as determined by the 26 lead agency,texisting information is not reasonably .sufficient - 27 to evaluate the environmental impacts of the proposal.

The level of detail required for a partial assess- 20 ment prior to a threshold determination will normally be less than 21 _the detail required for an assessment to assist EIS preparation. 22 - - (6) An applicant -may--choose to -voluntarily submit 23 information beyond that which may be required under these 24 guidelines at any time. 25 1 , 26 27 -15- S.F.No.9928-A r,,_ ,� , MOOR,E,WALLACE &KENNEDY,INC. c* Rr�E �`� ENGINEERS • PLANNERS • SURVEYORS -15 May 21, 1975 & vr DEPAR City of Renton Planning Department Municipal Building Renton, WA 98055 Attn: Mr. Michael L. Smith - Asst. Planner SUBJECT: JOHN C. EDWARDS SPECIAL PERMIT NO. EIW-5-74 FOR SURFACE • MINING OPERATION Gentlemen: Mr. Edwards recently retained Dames and Moore to prepare a "Report of Soils Engineering Consultation." This is per your request and in conformance of Section 4-2307,7 of Ordinance 2820. Enclosed are two (2) copies of that report. In the last correspondence that we had on December 18, 1974, you asked for some additional information. With the soils engineering report now in hand, we feel we are better able to respond. The entire property owned by Mr. Edwards for his surface mining operations comprise approximately 175 acres." Approximately 95 of this is in the City of Renton. The other 80 acres consists of 40 acres to the north of the mining operation proper. This is used mostly for stockpiling material, the scale house, and ingress and egress to the site. Another 40 acres is separated from the main parcel and located further to the east. These are both shown on the original submittals. In the past fifteen years, excavation from the site has ranged from 40,000 cu yds to 400,000 cu yds per year. The larger figures were during the years of freeway construction and industrialization of the valley. Some of these smaller figures were in the early 1970's. In paragraph 2 of your letter you asked for more detailed information. The above figures give you the parameters, and by careful reading of the soils engineering report, we believe that the rest of your question is answered. In paragraph 3 you discussed the Reuse Plan. In that the Ordinance dictates a Reuse Plan in conformity with the existing Comprehensive Plan, we must of necessity concur. The Comprehensive Plan shows most of this property to be in a green belt area. In that we both agree that a detailed Reuse Plan for develop- ment so far in the future would be inaccurate, we would like to suggest the use 1915 FIRST AVENUE • SEATTLE,WASHINGTON 98101 • (206)624-2623 May 21, 1975 City of Renton Page 2 of the Comprehensive Plan as our generalized plan for this site. The old reclamation plan, drawing 4 of 4, is still submitted as pertinent details of the storm drainage system are on that sheet. You requested more detailed attention to the drainage plans that had been submitted in preliminary form. These have been revised and two sets are enclosed. In your seventh paragraph, you refer to "existing vegetation". There is some vegetation that exists on the site: but very little of this can really be considered "natural". Specifically, reference has been made to the vegetation along the west side of the property. It should be understood that most of this exists under the Puget Sound Power and Light Company and Seattle City Light easements. A condition of those easements is that they have control over vegetation, primarily as it may affect the existing and future power lines. They do periodically cross the area and clear cut all vegetation so that it does not become a hazard through height. or potential fire danger to their lines. The Department of Natural Resources requires only a ten-foot screening easement and your Ordinance No. 2820 refers to "... a maximum of 75 feet. .." As we assume that you will follow your normal practice of taking photographs of the site for the eventual public hearing, we think this can be adequately covered with the photographs ratter than the extensive surveying necessary to physically locate these areas. Any alternatives for the retention of any of these areas of vegetation will be explored as an alternate in the Environmental Assessment. The State of Washington Council on Environmental Policy has proposed guide- lines for preparation of EAS and EIS. It is assumed that these guidelines will be adopted by the Council on Environmental Policy prior to any public hearing and action on the required Special Permit. We are attaching a copy of_ pages 14 and 15 from that draft. We feel that we have complied with the Environmental Checklist required. This was submitted on a City of Renton form at the time that the original application for a special permit was made. In as much as this is an existing surface mining operation, we feel that completion of the checklist should be adequate until such time as there is some concurrence on the application for the permit, such as the scheduling of a public hearing; we feel it would be premature to proceed beyond the "Threshold Determination". Details of the soil and of planting techniques are still somewhat in the future. Landscaping in the setback area was shown on the original drawings as specified for the Department of Natural Resources. At this time, the only "details" we can provide are that all vegetation shall be native varities May 21, 1975 City of Renton Page 3 and the planting will be according to techniques normally used by local nurseries and licensed landscape architects. This subject is also further covered in the Dames and Moore report. We hope that after a review by your department that we can arrange for another meeting in our further -attempts to process this Special Permit. Sincerely, MOORE, WALLACE & KENNEDY, INC.

A private applicant 101 is required to complete an environmental checklist [See 11 , WAC 197-10-365] either concurrently with or after filing 12, the application. Explanations for each "yes" and "maybe" 13, indicated thereon may be required. Agencies may not require 14 a complete assessment or "mini" EIS. at_ this stage., [See 15' WAC 197-10-310. ] 16 (3) Threshold Determination. The lead agency 17' shall make an initial review of a completed environmental 18' checklist without requiring more of a private applicant. 191 If, and only if, the lead agency determines as a result of 20 its initial review that the information available to it is 21 not reasonably sufficient to determine the environmental 22 impacts of the p proposal, the lead agency may require further 23 information from the applicant in the form of a lrartia`l•: . 2.1 assessment. f.This -.assessment shall be limited to those elements 25 onrthe-environmental checklist for which, as determined by the 2E lead agency, .existing information is ..not reasonably sufficient 27 to evaluate the environmental impacts of the proposal.

A private applicant 10 shall not be required to provide information which is the sub- 11 ject of a pre-draft consultation request until the consulted 12 agency has responded or the 45 days allowed for response by 13 the consulted agency has expired. 14 (5) The responsible official may determine that any 15 information supplied by a private applicant is insufficient 16 and require further information, if in the judgment of the 17 responsible official the information initially supplied was 18 not reasonably adequate to fulfill the purpose for which it 19 was required. The level of detail required for a partial assess- • 20 ment prior to a threshold determination will normally be less than ,21 the detail required for an assessment to assist EIS preparation. 22 (6) An applicant may choose to voluntarily submit 23 information beyond that which may be required under these 24 guidelines at any time. 25 26 27 -15- S.F.No.9928-A „, .

Engineers/Planners/Surveyors NI.w• 1915 First Avenue Seattle, WA 98101 Attn: Mr. David A. Kennedy RE: Proposal for Soils Engineering Investigation and Report, Rainier Sand & Gravel Pit, Renton, WA Gentlemen: In accordance with your request of December 27, 1974, we are pleased to submit this proposal for a soils engineering investigation and report for grading proposed in the subject sand and gravel pit in the City of Renton. The purpose of this investigation would be to determine the engineering properties of site soils and to assist you with design of the proposed cuts and drainage schemes. Attached is our understanding of the proposed plan for the gravel pit together with our recommended scope of work. We are prepared to undertake this investigation as out- lined on a time and expense basis. Our fee for the above work and the terms under which our services are offered would be in accordance with the attached Fee Schedule. The total cost of the investigation is estimated to be $14, 750, based on an estimated total drilling footage of 730 feet. If additional footage is necessary due to unanticipated soils, the additional cost would be $16. 17 per foot. We agree not to exceed this figure without your prior authorization. This estimate includes all work outlined in this proposal through submission of our final report. If other ser- vices or conferences are desired after submission of the final report, such as meetings with our staff or review of plans and specifications pertaining to earthwork, the cost would be in ad- • dition and would be invoiced in accordance with our Fee Schedule. • William L.Shannon, P.E..Stanley D.Wilson,P.E.

Rainier Sand & Gravel Pit, Renton, Washington BASIS FOR PROPOSAL Our proposal is based on your December 27 , 1974 letter requesting a proposal. Enclosed with your letter were two (2) prints of the site and two (2) sheets from the City of. Renton' s Ordinance No. 2820 titled "Mining, Excavation & Grading" . It 'is understood that the proposed site will have an over- all plan area of approximately 1500 feet by 2700 feet. The site • is located immediately north of the Renton-Maple Valley Highway and about 3200 feet southeast of the intersection of the Maple Valley Highway and Interstate 405. We understand that cuts will be made on the hillside property that may be as great as 155 feet. The area will be graded into terraces with lined ditches and four (4) temporary sedimentation and detention ponds. To determine the nature, distribution and strength of site soils and to make recommendations for grading and drainage, we believe the following program would yield the information necessary to accomplish our studies. PROPOSED SCOPE We propose to explore the site with five (5) borings ranging in depth from 105 feet to 170 feet, for a total estimated footage of 730 feet. This is an estimate and may change slightly once field conditions are established. In each boring standard penetration test drive saples would be taken at about 5-foot depth intervals and also at detected changes in soil type. If appropriate, several undisturbed thin-wall tube samples would be taken in lieu of the normal penetration samples. All samples would be sealed in jars or tubes and brought to our laboratory for detailed visual classification and physical testing as may be necessary. We do not anticipate encountering bedrock. However, if bedrock is encountered, drilling would be terminated after ob- taining a sample of the bedrock. In two of the borings we would install observation wells in order to observe groundwater levels. When an installation is in a location subject to damage, the standpipe would be appropri- ately protected. 4111 Moore, Wallace & Kennedy, Inc. Attn: Mr. David A. Kennedy January 6, 1975 Page Two We are prepared to begin the field work as soon after your authorization as a drill rig can be mobilized normally about one week. We estimate that the field work could be accomplished in about 10 days; however, if more time is required, we would keep you advised. Our report could be completed and delivered to you three (3) weeks after completion of the field work. This schedule is based on our current work load. If a change in this schedule is necessary when the work is authorized, we would advise you. Preliminary information can be given you informally as soon as it is developed by our studies. If this proposal meets with your approval, please sign in the space provided and return one signed copy of this letter, which will constitute your authorization for us to proceed with the investigation. The estimated fee for this work is firm for 90 days from the date of this proposal. Should acceptance and authorization for this work come after 90 days, we would want to review our estimated fee to determine if any price changes have occurred which would affect the estimated cost of the project. If you have any questions or comments, or wish to revise the scope of our investigation, please contact me. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you on this project and appreciate your continued confidence in our firm. Recently, we prepared an external publication which you might enjoy. It is titled Crossection and a copy if enclosed. Sincerely, SHANNON & WILSON, INC. BY � , ��� L. Keith Bestwick, P.E.

January 6, 1975 Drilling and sampling and the installation of observation wells would be performed by subcontract with a reputable drilling contractor. An experienced inspector from our firm would observe the drilling, sampling and installation of observation wells, and prepare detailed descriptive soil logs for all borings in the field. It is understood that you will obtain rights of entry for explorations and mark the property corners in the field prior to the proposed investigation. We believe that dozer access will not be required and have not included costs for such access in this proposal. The locations and elevations of all borings would be spotted on a map by our inspector after they had been drilled. This would be accomplished by tape and hand level referenced to existing features and an assumed elevation. If precise locations and elevations are desired, they should be accomplished by a registered professional surveyor. The cost for precise surveying is not included in our fee. Samples would be visually classified in our laboratory, and representative samples would be tested for natural water con- tent, grain size gradation, and permeability. A report would be prepared which would summarize the field explorations , subsurface conditions, laboratory testing, and the results of engineering studies and analyses.. Conclusions and • recommendations would be presented concerning excavations, ground- water levels, slope stability, grading and drainage requirements. With regard to groundwater conditions, our report would present data on groundwater levels as observed during our field work but would not include quantitative information on rates of flow into an excavation, pumping capacities necessary to dewater an excavation or methods of dewatering an excavation. Eight copies of our report would be furnished, and our staff would be available to discuss our findings and recommendations with you or your representative in conference. lb ' 4111/ . • FEES AND GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES SHANNON & WILSON, INC.

Recently the City has enacted a "Mining, Excavation & Grading Ordinance," Ordinance No. 2820. We are now engaged in attempting to get a permit under this new ordinance to make the existing operations of Rainier Sand & Gravel a conforming use under this ordinance. The City has the option of asking for a soil engin- • eering report. They have now asked for such a report and we would like to have an estimate of the cost of that report for our client. The ordinance reads. .-. ."The soil engineering report shall include data regarding the nature, distribution and strength of existing soils, conclu- sidns and recommendations for grading procedures and design criteria for. corrective measures when necessary, and opinions and recommendations covering adequacy of sites to be developed by the proposed grading." • In a letter on December 18,. they also asked for " and any other aspects of the soil pertinent to the proposed plan." For your information we have • enclosed two (2) prints of the site. These are the existing topogs taken from existing City of Renton aerial topographic maps and a proposed grading plan. Also enclosed are two (2) sheets from the ordinance pertaining to their requirements for cut slopes and terracing. I'm sure you will have some other questions in regard to this. If we can be of assistance to you in preparing a proposal fo.r the above described soil report, please contact us. We would like to have your proposal by January 8 if at all possible.

Those present at the meeting besides yourself and I were Fred Mustafa , Moore , Wallace , and Kennedy ; Joan Lankford of Renton Planning Department ; Tom Touma , Renton Engineering Division ; Jim Hanson , Renton Building Division ; Gene Chase and Chuck Backman , State Department of Natural Resources . We initially discussed the need for more detailed information on the phasing of the operation and the pro- gressive rehabilitation plan coordinated with the phasing . We also discussed the inappropriateness of the pro- posed site re-use plan , due to its •incompatibility with the Renton Comprehensive Plan for the area . This plan designated the area for single family residential uses . Although a detailed re-use plan for a development antici- pated so far in the future would be both impossible and inaccurate , a generalized plan that is compatible with the . Comprehensive Plan should be developed as part of the application . Next_ we discussed the subject of Environmental Impact. It has been determined that a detailed Environmental Assessment is required pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act . We discussed the various impacts that should be reviewed in the assessment including impacts of the operation and re-use of the site on the Cedar River , adjacent properties , air and water quality , and traffic . safety. Noise , visual , social , and economic impacts together with various alternatives to the proposed action should also be studied . 1 1111, Mr. Dave Kennedy December 18 , 1974 Page Two The need for a soils engineering report to accompany the application as outlined in Section 4-2307 ,7 . of Ordi - nance 2820 was also discussed . It was felt that this could be included as part of the Environmental Assessment . It should include such information and data as the character- istics , distribution and strength of existing soils , con- clusions and recommendations for grading procedures and design criteria for corrective measures when necessary , recommendations covering adequacy of sites to be developed by the proposed grading , and any other aspects of the soil pertinent to the proposed plans . We also discussed the drainage plans for the operation . Our Engineering Division listed several concerns that needed more detailed attention in the plans . These were basically in accordance with Ordinance 2820 requirements and included ; 1 . The drainage plan should be designed for a 25-year storm capacity. 2 . Special reservoirs should be maintained through- out the various phases of the operation to prevent overload of the system and prevent sediment laden storm water from entering the Cedar River . 3 . Specific information as per Ordinance 2820 was given with regard to swales , ditches , terraces and down drains . The Engineering Division will review and approve the final drainage plans . The need for indicating areas of existing vegetation was discussed . This could be incorporated on a topographic map so that the Planning Commission has a clearer idea of the areas of the site .,that have been disturbed versus the existing natural areas . It is felt that there are existing natural areas on the periphery of the site and along the hillside that should be retained , and reflected in the plans . This concept was discussed and should be explored as an alternative . Details of the soil , vegetation , planting techniques and planting schedules to be used in the rehabilitation plan should be included , and the plan coordinated with the phasing of the operation . Natural buffer areas , setbacks , landscaping and erosion control will be important not only to reduce the impacts of the ongoing operation , but also to enhance the value of the land as a marketable commodity for quality development upon termination of the mining operation . • • 401 Mr .

Connason , Public Works Director Subject : John C . Edwards Special Permit Maple Valley Highway • This is in response to your recent request for information regarding the operation of the John C . Edwards mining opera- tion on the Maple Valley Highway . I am enclosing a copy of a letter dated December 5 , 1975 from Michael Smith of the Planning Department , along with a copy of the Special Studies Committee report on the Edwards ' application. The permit was authorized December 3 , 1975 and--no excavation or operation of the pit had occurred until just recently. Scarsella Bros . is using this pit to supply the necessary materials for Phase I of the Lind Avenue project . There are certain elements of the Special Permit requirements that have not .been done, but we have required all those to be done which we -feel are appropriate at this time . Many of the requirements cannot be accomplished except a a part of the operation after excavation is accomplished . Mr . Edwards has posted a $25 , 000 cash performance bond to insure the completion of the above requirements . We feel that the operation from a traffic and dust point o'f view is being properly done and the contractor has met what we feel are the reasonable requirements for this operation . As I stated to you, the City is negotiating with Mr . John C . Edwards for the necessary easements to provide sewer access for Heather Downs . We have not as yet completed our • negotia- tions with , Mr. Edwards and I understand that Mr. Edwards is very ill. Therefore', if there is any objection to the opera- tion and additional requirements made of Mr. Edwards , he may be unwilling to grant the required easements . Once we get the easements we could then move for additional enforcement on the quarry operation . To : Councilman rerry _ 2 - July 27 , 1978 It should be noted that Mr . Edwards operate, the. quarry as a broker and each time someone desires to remove materiL- 1 , he requires that they get the necessary annual license or permit for operation.

EDWARDS ; Appl . No . SP-752-74 ; special permit for existing gravel and sand excavating operation in S- 1 zone ; property located at 2930 S . E . 5th St . Following the introduction of the special permit application by the Secretary, a staff briefing was requested by Chairman Scholes . Noting that the Special Permit request was succinctly con- sidered on June 25 and continued for further study , the Plan- ning Director advised that the original application for 90 acres had been revised to a site of approximately 34 acres ,' and he described the modified boundaries for the Commission . Mr . Ericksen discussed communications and data that had been received and studied by the staff and Special Studies Com- mittee from the Department of Natural Resources , King County , Department of Ecology , and Washington Department of Fisheries regarding environmental concerns . Input from City departments was also noted and described . In addition , communications in writing and by telephone from interested citizens were re- viewed . Slides , aerial photographs and maps of the property were presented and discussed by Assistant Planner Smith . Included in the discussion were descriptions of the current operation , proposals for drainage control , landscaping and screening , restoration of scarred areas , and ingress and egress . Comment from the applicant was invited by the Chairman . David Kennedy , Moore , Wallace and Kennedy , 1915 First Avenue , Seattle , representing the applicant , Rainier Sand and Gravel and John Edwards , summarized the history of the applicant ' s operation . He cited City and state legislation relative to surface mining operations and noted that a permit had been granted to Rainier Sand and Gravel by the Washington Depart- ment of Natural Resources , which is currently in effect . The consultant reviewed the scope of the original applica- tion and advised that it had been reduced approximately sixty percent from 90 acres to approximately 34 acres , of which 23 . 4 acres is devoted to grading and excavating and the balance is used for retention ponds and Renton Planning Luanmission Public Hearing Meeting December 3 , 1975 Page Two operational buildings for equipment. He then described ' the boundaries and topography of the operation with the ' assistance of slides taken of the area . Plans for - drainage, screening , and rehabilitation were reviewed . Mr. Kennedy advised that construction of an operations building for storage of equipment and retention basin along the southerly boundary off Maple Valley Highway is proposed . Access and egress to the site was also discussed . Questions from the Commission ensued , and discussion followed relative to the following factors : the anti - cipated amount of materials to be mined and the time- frame for their removal , the possibility and effect of ingress and egress from Maple Valley Highway , res- toration of the scarred slope along the south boundary , requirement for security fencing , drainage plans , the proposed operations building and its location , and the requirements of the Mining , Excavation and Grading Ordinance . Audience comment was invited by Chairman Scholes . Dominic Carpine , speaking on behalf of his uncle , John C . Edwards , indicated to the residents of the area that it was Mr. Edwards ' intention to comply with all City ordinances , state regulations , and to meet any environmental recommendations . He noted ' considerable demand for fill materials and estimated that the operation will continue for another 30 to 40 years . He agreed that the area is in a deteriorated state but advised that the applicant is an owner of . a number of houses in the Maplewood area and is interested in upgrading the neighborhood . He advised that the Segale operation leases land from Mr . Edwards . Chris Wright , 120 Monterey P1 . N . E . , noting that Segale • trucks use Blaine Ave . N . E . for access and egress to their site , requested that the Commission consider this • question in terms of safety , noise , and hours of opera- tion and stated that he would not object to access from the Maple Valley Highway. Discussion followed regarding City regulations and review privileges concerning access to industrial operations . Mr . Carpine indicated it was their plan to service the site primarily from the Maple Valley Highway . Mr . Kennedy reviewed access provisions for both the Edwards and Segale operations . May Hull , 3428 S . E . 5th , inquired about the drainage system from the hillside and noted that as the result of heavy recent rains her garage and back yard were presently under water. She also complained about blackberry bushes in the area that needed removal . Martin Burnett , 3205 S . E . 5th , presented letters from ' citizens unable to attend due to flooding conditions in Maple Valley . He also asked about the size of the proposed storage structure, type of equipment to be housed, and anticipated hours of operation . He requested consideration be given to safety factors involved in the trucking operations , including drainage , mud and dust control . 1 • Renton Planning Commission Public Hearing Meeting December 3 , 1975 Page Three • Dan Vaughn , 3701 S . E . 6th Street , also raised questions with regard to safety factors involved in the trucking operation , noting the dangerous corner and lack of a left turn lane into the area . He expressed concern regarding the possi - bility of landscaping reducing visibility for drivers . He , requested controlled ingress and egress to the operation and inquired about provisions for enforcement of the Ordi - : nance , which were reviewed by the Planning Director . A recess was declared at 10 : 00 p . m. The meeting was resumed at 10: 10 p .m. with all Commissioners noted above in attendance . Mr . Carpine discussed the 'scope of the Edwards ' business and cited safety precautions followed by their trucking operations . June Stack , 3118 S . E . 5th , inquired about the exact location of the proposed operations structure . The location , possible screening and noise control was discussed by Mr . Kennedy , the Chairman of the Special Studies Committee and the Plan- ning Director . Chairman Scholes called for further comment from the audience, but none was received . Responses from the Departments of Ecology , Natural Resources , and Fisheries were described by the Planning Director . Letters received in opposition from Martin and Sherry Brunette , Paul and Audree Beutel , Sam and May Hull , Virginia and Harold Gemar, Edward and Earline Bala , and Marion Carlmas were read into the record by the Recording Secretary. The committee report was requested by Chairman Scholes . Commissioner Gibson , Chairman of the Special Studies Committee , read their report as amended December 3 , 1.975 , into the record in its entirety , as follows : "The Special Studies Committee met on many occasions including November 24 , 1975, to review and discuss the proposed surface mining operation . Because of the initial adverse response from nearby residents regarding various environmental concerns and the unsafe and untidy condi - tions that characterize the site at the present time , it was necessary that the Committee study all aspects of the operation in detail . The primary concerns were potential impacts to the Cedar River and the impacts to adjacent properties . " Input was requested and received from the Department of Fisheries , Department of Ecology , the Department of Natural Resources , and the City of Renton Engineering Division . All of these agencies felt that the drainage and retention plans as proposed , with possible minor changes or additions , would be sufficient to preclude erosion , siltation , and pollution off the site, especially with regard to the Cedar River . " Interim terracing of the existing scarred bluff area was also felt to be of primary importance because of the safety , visual , and erosion problems that now exist . "The safety and visual impacts could also be reduced by fencing , screening , berming , landscaping , and general cleanup of the lower operations/access area adjacent to Maple Valley Highway and the Maplewood residential sub- division . Renton Planning mission - Public HearingMing December 3 , 1975 Page Four "Discussions with the applicant indicate that the pro- posed road traversing the hillside that is indicated on the plans is only meant for the future when final terracing of the scarred hillside area is complete . Until such time ( approximately four to five years according to the appli - cant) , the operation will be split between that carried on at the top of the hill and that from below and adja- cent to Maple Valley Highway. This will have a tendency to divide the traffic from the site between N . E . 4th Street and Maple Valley Highway , thereby reducing the impacts to any one street . However , either access point would not involve additional traffic impacts to any resi - dential neighborhood . Some blacktop paving is planned adjacent to Maple Valley Highway. This will cause much • of the debris on a truck to fall off-site prior to enter- ing the public right-of-way . 'ACTION : The Special Studies Committee recommends approval of the revised application as per the letter dated October 14 , 1975 , from David Kennedy , the applicant ' s representative and consultant , and the revised plans as received on November 10 , 1975 , and November 25 , 1975 , subject to the following conditions : 1 . Final Public Works Department approval of detailed drainage plans with suitable storm water retention facilities and erosion control methods to reduce impacts both on and off the site . Runoff from the site shall be free of sediment . Drainage and retention facilities shall be continuously maintained to insure maximum operational efficiency . 2 . Final Planning Department approval of erosion control methods and landscaping/screening/berming plans . Plans shall include minimum, five foot high berm with evergreen type trees and shrubs to be located outside of fence adjacent to Maple Val - . ley Highway and residences adjacent to the operation . 3 . Provision of minimum eight foot security fence around entire lower portion (adjacent to Maple Valley Highway) of operation . Final location of the fence and security gates shall be approved by the Planning Department . Erosion control methods shall be utilized as a continuing element of the operation and shall include but not be limited to hydroseeding and landscaping . 4 . The existing natural hillside area beyond the boundaries of the revised application shall be maintained in its natural state and not dis- turbed any further. 5. Interim terracing to create a stable slope on the existing scarred bluff area shall be under- taken immediately and be approved by the Public Works Department and Planning Department . 6 . A rehabilitation plan including landscaping and drainage of the terraced face of the bluff shall be submitted and approved by the Planning and Public Works Departments when the terracing has been completed . 7. All equipment storage shall be adequately screened from Maple Valley Highway and adjacent residences by a view obscuring fence and berm with landscaping subject to approval of the Planning Department. 8. Maximum hours of operation and hauling shall be from 7 : 30 a . m . to 4 : 30 p .m . on weekdays only . ► \ '4 Renton Planning Co, sion Public Hearing Meeting December 3 , 1975 Page Five 9 . All public rights-of-way shall be kept. free of mater- ial and shall be washed and swept when necessary in such a manner as to not allow mud and debris to enter the Cedar River. 10 . Suitable dust control methods shall be utilized when necessary. 11 . The applicant shall post a $25 , 000 performance bond with the City to insure the completion of the above requirements . 12 . The driveways and access road onto Maple Valley Highway shall be paved a sufficient distance back from the road to adequately reduce the amount of debris falling from the trucks onto the public right-of-way . Activities and access shall be con- - tained as much as possible to the top of the hill and N . E . 4th Street . If necessary , additional devices shall be required to effectively control mud and debris on public roads . 13 . This permit shall not preclude the applicant from rehabilitation efforts outside the boundaries of the application as are needed for safety and environ- mental purposes and that are approved by the Planning and Public Works Departments . This shall not include the disturbatnce of areas previously undisturbed . 14. The length of the permit is to be five years until December 3 , 19-80 , and subject to Planning Commission Special Permit review at that time . The operation will also be subject to yearly review by the appli - cable City departments as per ordinance requirements . 15 .

Subject to Public Works Department approval of all access and egress to all site operation areas . " The Planning Director indicated basic concurrence by the con- sulting engineer and the staff in the Committee ' s recommenda- tions . Indicating his concern for the protection of the applicant ' s and citizens ' rights , Commissioner Gibson offered copies of the Committee report to interested parties . Responding to an invitation for further comment by the Chair- man , Mr . Kennedy stated that he felt the activity would not be unreasonably detrimental to surrounding areas , indicated the acceptability of the special conditions , and asked for approval of the special use application . Further discussion followed with particular attention to the storm water problems noted by Mrs . Hull and a resulting ponding area . Mr . Carprine and Mr . Kennedy indicated the matter would be brought to Mr . Edwards ' attention and be investigated . With reference to the State Environmental Policy Act , Mr . Ericksen stated that it was felt that a declaration of non- significant impact was appropriate in view of the fact the operation is in existence and that the controls imposed can result in a positive impact .

CP-842-75 ; application for Com- prehensive Plan Amendment ; property located at 4016 Jones Ave. N . E . between Jones Ave . N . E . and Lincoln P1 . N . E. Following introduction of the application by the Secretary , a staff briefing was requested , Mr. Ericksen noted the item had been continued from the October public hearing and referred to a report by the Land Use Committee . Commissioner Teegarden , Committee Chairman , reviewed the history of the operation and the reasons for the applica- tion for Comprehensive Plan review. He stated that the Land Use Committee was recommending that the request be denied for the following reasons : 1 . If the proposed amendment were approved , it would extend the commercial designation south and effec- tively eliminate the medium density multi -family buffer. 2 . Approval would give a more intensive use than the Conservancy Environment would allow and would sub- vert the Shoreline Master Program , which allows a home occupation as the only permitted commercial use . 3 . There does not appear to be a need to expand the commercial designation as there are several unde- veloped acres north and west of the site with a commercial designation and zoning . This undeveloped commercial land should be developed prior to serious consideration being given to expanding the commercial area . It was noted that the existing business is illegal and would remain illegal if the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is denied . Teegarden reviewed meetings with Mr . Bodily at which an attempt was made to find an alternative plan , including consideration of applying for rezone to R-2 and a tem- porary permi.t for his business with certain conditions . It was noted that Mr. Bodily was not in complete agree- ment with this proposal . • Chairman Scholes invited comment from the applicant. 1 > 11/ 410 Renton Planning Commission • Public Hearing Meeting December 3 , 1975 Page Seven Gwen Bodily , applicant , indicating that the effect of the Shoreline Management Act had been brought to his attention , stated that he recognized that it would be almost impossible to obtain the zoning that he desired .
