Appeal..from Planning Commission Action of September 24, 1975 Dear Mayor and Councilpersons: ScarsellalBrothers, Inc. hereby appeals the decision of the Planning Commission of the City of Renton taken at their meeting of September 24, 1975, on the application of Scarsella Brothers., Inc. for approval of a filling and grading permit and site plan approval per the application on file and the final Environmental Impact Statement on file. The action of the Planning Commission was to grant a partial permit for a westerly portion of the property and the undersigned appeals from that action and the denial of the remainder of such application for the easterly portion of the property. The undersigned requests a public hearing before the City Council on this appeal at the earliest possible date. Very truly yours, SCARSELLA BROTHERS, INC. . • By Antonio Scarsella, President klh cc Renton Planning Commission Attention; Mike Smith Renton Planning, Commission Meeting September 24 , 1975 Page Two entire sitewith approximately 78 ,000 cubic yards of fill material , aind development plans included construction of an office building , construction repair shop and outside storage' areja at the east end of the site . A Final Environ- mental. Impact Statement has been prepared , and comments from interested parties have been reviewed by the Planning Com- mission , Special Studies Committee , and staff. Mr. Smith stated that: a Shoreline Management Permit has been granted allowing filling , grading , and development of the. westerly 300 feet of the. site or to the top of the existing pond bank , whichever is less . Slides of the property were viewed , with special. emphasis on, the pondii,ng area , which were taken at all seasons of the year. The topography of the property was described and significant: landmarks were identified . Mr. Smith _,reviewed the progress of the application, noting that it had been received on March 6 , 1974 , along with an applica- tion for rezone from G to M-P . The request for rezone to M-P had been granted . in June 1974. 5 The Chairman called for comment from the applicant. Alan Austin: of Montgomery , Purdue , Blankenship and Austin , a lawyer representing Scarsella Brothers , noted the pre- sence of th'e applicant in the audience and referred the Commission to the Final Environmental Impact Statement that had been prepared to address the issues involved and offered to respond to any questions from the Commission . He stated that the basic problem concerns the request by the Soil Conservation Service that 110 acres of wetlands be maintained or mitigated in the Green River Valley by the four municipalities of Renton , Kent , Auburn , Tukwila , and King County; and he displayed a map published by that agency indicating their recommendations regarding those areas , including the Scarsella pond . He cited the City of Renton ' s; resolution of July 22 , 1974 , supporting the program but! indicating that no City funds were to be expended for the purpose without prior approval of the City. He referred to the recommendation by the Soil Con- servation Service that not less than two percent of land be preserved for wildlife and noted that in this situation nearly sixty percent of the property was being designated for this purpose . Mr. Austin noted that they have complied with all City and State requirements and indicated it is their desire to comply with the City ' s Mining , Excavation -and Grading Ordinance . Mr. Austin noted the issuance of a partial Shoreline Management Permit and indicated that it was their feeling that the Soil Conservation Service , U. S . Fish and Wildlife Service , and Washington Department of Game were telling them to continue to wait until someone • else makes the decision regarding which wetlands to actually include in the 110 acres . It is their opinion that inasmuch as the property was rezoned to M-P and is in agreement with the Comprehensive Plan , intensive development should be permitted . , Mr. Austin said that $37 ,000 in sewer and water assessments: had been levied against the property by the City . He stated there would be no decision required if the City is going to acquire the property but indicated that it is their belief that there has been no decision with regard to the sharing of the 110 acres to be preserved by the • affected communities or the funding of those lands . He requested a- decision as to whether the City wants to buy the property , condemn it , or grant the filling and - grading permit. cSC�Ca�S el/a OkGG RENTON PLANNING COMMISSION cb 0C 116%0- T PUBLIC HEARING MEETING cp ,9 v SEPTEMBER 24, 1975 '•o c/Ty ��0 fr MINUTES le�e6�gc Z�z,;L�� COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Logan Garrison , Larry Gibson , Ant-hone Mola , Norman Ross , Arthur Scholes , Clark Teegarden , Joan Walker , Bylund Wik .

SP-760-74 ; special permit to allow filling and grading in M-P zone ; property located approximately 1200 ' north of S . W . 43rd on W . Valley Highway . Acting Secretary. Mola introduced the item to the Commis- sion at the request of the Chairman , and a briefing from the staff was invited . Assistant Planner Smith pointed out the location of the 5 . 8 acre site situated between the West Valley Highway and the Burlington-Northern railroad tracks just north of S . W. 43rd St . He noted that approximately two acres of the property contains a ponding area suitable for wildlife habitat . He stated that the applicant has requested permission to fill the • ` L Renton Planning, Comm i ssi on Meeting September 24 , 1975 Page Four In response: to Commissioner Ross ' inquiry regarding offers for !acquisition of his land , Mr. Scarsella stated ::that he had; received none from any private parties or governmental agencies. Commissioneir Mola stated that it was his feeling that the utilities assessment should not be levied to include the ponding area , that an adjustment should be made , and that Mr. Scarsella was being penalized in being asked to main- ' tain more than two percent 'of his property for game and wildlife . He indicated a need for a commitment from the city, federal and state agencies involved regarding the acquisition of these areas . He described the pond as .a mosquito infested area that would benefit from filling in his opinion . . - In reply to: questioning from the Chairman , Mr. Scarsella indicated that the assessment had been based. upon square footage of the entire site . Discussion followed with regard to the economic issues involved in ! relation to the land use concerns , with Commissioners. Wik , Scholes and Teegarden noting that as a land use decision making body , the recommendations of the Soil ' Conse.rvation Service , State Departments of Game and Fisheries , and King County• which indicated the area as ; ecologically valuable necessitated their consideration . All agreed that an adjustment in the assessment should be reviewed and noted the difficulty in making the decision . Commissioner Teegarden referred to the current study by the Planning Department to deter- mine the effects of the drainage channels on the wetlands and..indicated that until that determination had been made , the Commission should not allow filling , as it would be an irrevocable action . Commissioner Walker queried regarding the 'expected completion date of the special , study and was advised by Assistant Planning Director Magstadt that the evaluation should be concludedby December 31 ;. 1975 . Mr. Magstadt then briefly described , the program which will include certain mitigation mea- sures to compensate for elimination of wetlands in particular areas , recently specially funded by the State Department of Community Development . Methods of acquisi - . tion of the properties will not be a part of the study. The Assistant Planning Director advised that the Council Community Services Committee is presently studying the Planning Commission ' s recommendation for revision of the • Comprehensive Plan in the Green River Valley and that hopefully an answer to the matter of compensation will be provided . He noted that some conservation groups have indicated they may have money to loan or donate, but acquisition has not been finalized at this time . Further discussion ensued , with Commissioner Ross noting that the pond was in existence at the time of the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan , which has indicated for years it is suitable for intensive use ; and , therefore , he expressed his objection to its commitment as natural habitat . Commissioner Teegarden responded that the ' present Comprehensive Plan designates this property for industrial use ; however, the Commission has recommended ' to the Council that it be changed for this area and indicates the Scarsella ponding area as greenbelt . Renton Planning Commission Meeting September 24, 1975 Page Three The applicant ' s representative described the formation of the pond , claiming it was the result of drainage from fill to the north and embankments of the railroad tracks to the east and had no interaction with the Green River. He noted the pre- sence of the West Valley Highway between the pond and the River. He stated that Mr. Scarsella ' s lease at the present location of his business has expired and is currently on a month to month basis . He also noted that the business has 60 , 000 cubic yards of fill material stored in another area on a limited time -basis . He again offered to reply to questions from the Commission . The Chairman invited further input from the staff, but none was offered . He called for comment from the audience , but there was no response . The report from the Special Studies Committee was then requested . Commissioner Gibson , Chairman , stated that the Committee had discussed the comments received in response to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement , especially the reply submitted by the Soil Conservation Service regarding the pond ' s rela- tionship to the proposed wildlife mitigation areas and the Agency ' s drainage channel project in which it was requested that approval be obtained from the U . S . Fish and Wildlife Service and the Washington Department of Game , should there be a variance from their recommendation. They re- viewed the proposed grading plan , site plan and Shoreline; ' Permit and felt that it was possible to allow much of the , project through a partial permit and yet satisfy the agencies opposing the filling of the pond until other suitable miti - gation areas are established . The Committee also noted that a study of the effects of the P- 1 Channel system on the wetland areas in the Valley is presently in progress . Under the circumstances , Mr. Gibson stated that it was their recom- mendation that approval be granted of a special permit to fill and grade the westerly 300 feet or to the top bank of the pond , whichever is less , until such time as a final determination of suitable wildlife habitat areas is made in accordance with Soil Conservation Service requirements for the P- 1 Channel drainage project . Mr . Gibson stated the recommended conditions of approval are as follows : 1 . The establishment of earth berms a minimum five feet in height along the north , south , and west side of the property for construction equipment storage area screening subject to final approval of the Planning Department. 2 . Storm water and sedimentation control methods as approved by the Public Works Department . 3 . Utilization of suitable erosion control methods approved by the Planning Department . 4 . Final landscaping plan subject to Planning Depart- ment approval . 5 . Suitable measures shall be used to control dust and sand during the fill operation . The Chairman again invited comment from the audience , but none was offered . Discussion was then opened to the Commis- sion . Renton Planning Commission Meeting September 24, 1975 Page Six ACTION: MOVED BY TEEGARDEN, SECONDED BY WIK, THAT THE PLANNING COMMIS- SION CONCUR IN THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE SPECIAL STUDIES COM- MITTEE DATED SEPTEMBER 22, 1975, WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT THE APPLICANT BE GIVEN THE OPTION OF SOME OTHER FORM OF SCREENING ALONG THE NORTH, SOUTH, AND WEST SIDES OF THE PROPERTY FOR CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT STORAGE IN LIEU OF A BERM SUCH AS AN OPAQUE SCREEN TO BE APPROVED BY THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. Discussion ensued with Commissioner Mola inquiring regarding appeal procedures , should the motion be passed , and the possibility of acquisition of the property by federal and state agencies . Commissioner Wik , noting that the Compre- hensive Plan proposal for the Green River Valley is presently being studied by the City Council ' s Community Services Com- mittee , expressed the opinion that the City should be given the opportunity to act regarding the property . With regard to the length of study involving the application , it was noted that the Final Environmental Impact Statement was dated July 18 , 1975 , which was received too late for the July public hearing and that the Planning Commission does not conduct hearings during August. Commissioner Gibson , Chairman of the Special Studies Committee , indicated that the group had studied the EIS thoroughly during the month of August , and he believed they had acted in an expeditious manner. On the question , a roll call vote was requested with the following results : GARRISON - AYE GIBSON - AYE MOLA - NO ROSS - NO TEEGARDEN - AYE WIK - AYE WALKER - AYE MOTION CARRIED. Mr . Austin expressed his apology for the impression he made that any member of the Planning Commission was doing anything dishonest and indicated that it was his feeling that a fact- finding board should wait to hear everything before making a decision . A recess was declared by the Chairman at 9 : 30 p . m. The meeting was resumed at 9 : 45 p . m. with all members noted above in attendance . REZONE: B. GARY MORITZ ; Appl . No . R-821-75 ; Rezone from G to B- 1 ; - property located on the E . side of Union Ave . N . E . approx. 400 ' south of N . E . 4th St . Acting Secretary Mola introduced the rezone application . A staff presentation was invited by the Chairman . Noting that the review of the application had been continued from the July public hearing at the request of Mr. Moritz , Assistant Planner Smith pointed out the G zoned . 67 acre site located on the east side of Union Ave . N . E . just south of N . E . 4th St . Mr. Smith then reviewed a blow-up map which indicated both Comprehensive .Plan and zoning designations in the vicinity . He indicated that the Comprehensive Plan shows business zoning to approximately 400 feet south of N . E . . 4th St. and touches about 20 feet on the northwest end of the property. Renton Planning Commrsion Meeting September 24, 1975 Page Five The Chairman recognized Mr. Austin , who displayed a picture of the Soil Conservation Service ' s plan which identifies areas of wetlands in the Valley and stated that there are other areas in it that are adequate for preservation . He asked for a decision on the basis of the law that was in effect at the time of the application . He stated the alternative is for the affected communities on the basis of population and area to come up with a plan for definite designation of wetlands and their acquisition . He stated that they are proposing to fill the pond and do not need to fill the area being approved . He also asked that Commissioner Teegarden disqualify himself from voting based upon his earlier state- ment that in the proposed revised Comprehensive Plan the ponding area has been designated as greenbelt . Chairman Scholes responded , for the record , that he did not believe that any Planning Commission member has 'prejudged the decision . Following a brief discussion among the Commissioners relative to the basis for a decision , IT WAS ACTION: MOVED BY ROSS, SECONDED BY MOLA , THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE CLOSED. MOTION CARRIED. IT WAS THEN ACTION: MOVED BY ROSS, SECONDED BY MOLA , THAT THE SPECIAL PERMIT FOR FILLING AND GRADING BY SCARSELLA BROTHERS, INC. BE GRANTED FOR THE ENTIRE SITE AND THAT THE APPLICANT BE REQUIRED TO CONTROL STORM WATER RUNOFF THROUGH UTILIZATION OF APPROVED EROSION CONTROL METHODS; THAT HE BE REQUIRED TO PROPERLY SCREEN THE STORAGE YARD AREA OF HIS CONSTRUCTION SITE SO THAT IT WILL NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS AND THAT A FINAL LANDSCAPE PLAN BE SUBMITTED TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT FOR APPROVAL. Discussion followed , especially with regard to the lengthy study of land use in the Green River Valley in connection with the updating of the Comprehensive Plan , for which an EIS was prepared . Chairman Scholes stated that it was his opinion that every Commissioner has considered land use in the subject area for a long period of time , has studied the material involved , visited the site , and has personal viewpoints toward environmental issues . However , the Chair- main said he did not believe there was anyone on the Com- mission who could prejudge the outcome of the vote . Com- missioner Ross indicated his confidence in Commissioner Teegarden to make a decision that would be proper and unbi - ased . On the question , a roll call vote was requested with the following results : GARRISON - AYE GIBSON - NO MOLA - AYE ROSS - AYE TEEGARDEN - NO WIK - NO WALKER - AYE MOTION FAILED. Renton Planning Commission Meeting September 24 , 1975 Page Eight between Union Ave . N . E . and Monroe Ave . N . E . was pre- sently developed. In reply to Commissioner Garrison , the . Assistant Planning Director and Commissioner Tee- garden indicated that they were unaware of the sales document mentioned by Mr . Kleweno and that the prop- erty immediately north of the site under discussion was rezoned approximately three years ago as a part of a total parcel . It was the Commission ' s decision at that time that the southern part of the site should be retained as R-3 as a transition from B- 1 use to single family development to the south . There was further discussion regarding the merits of "squaring off" of the area for commercial use and the application of the Comprehensive Plan to the situ- ation . Further comments were invited from the audi - ence by the Chairman but none were received . IT WAS THEN MOVED BY ROSS , SECONDED BY WALKER, THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE CLOSED . MOTION CARRIED UNANI - MOUSLY . Discussion among the Commissioners ensued with respect to the intersection not being symetrically zoned for commercial use and that the Comprehensive Plan , while being a flexible guide , designates the site for medium density , multiple family development . It was noted by Commissioner Ross that no objections had been expressed by the audience or in written form. It was also observed by Commissioner Mola that rezoning the site as requested would result in " spot zoning . " Commissioner . Gibson indicated his feeling that the area was appropriate for the B- 1 designation , and IT WAS ACTION: MOVED BY GIBSON, SECONDED BY ROSS, THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION GRANT THE GARY MORITZ REZONE REQUEST FROM G TO B-1 . Commissioner Teegarden reminded the group of the existing R-3 zoned property which lies between the B- 1 zoned area at the intersection and the subject site and indicated that it was his opinion that to grant the request would be an illegal act . On the question , a roll call vote was requested with the following results : GARRISON - AYE GIBSON - AYE MOLA - NO ROSS - AYE TEEGARDEN - NO WIK - NO WALKER - NO MOTION FAILED. Following• a brief discussion , IT WAS ACTION: MOVED BY TEEGARDEN, SECONDED BY WIK, THAT THE GARY MORITZ APPLICATION FOR REZONING OF HIS PROPERTY FROM G TO B-1 BE DENIED. Renton Planning Coma,..-�si on Meeting September 24 , 1975 Page Seven Surrounding zoning was noted as R-3 , medium density , multi - family to the north ; G, single family residential to the east; and B- 1 , .commercial , to the west across the street. Mr. Smith stated that B- 1 zoning extends towards the north on Union Ave . N . E . beyond the intersection with N . E . 4th St. King County has been contacted relative to the appli - cation of their Comprehensive Plan in the vicinity and noted it designates potential business zoning near the _ corner of N. E . 4th St . and 138th Ave . N . E . Areas near the subject property are presently zoned S-R (single family residential ) . The general character of the neighborhood was also described . Comment was invited from the applicant. Melvin Kleweno , 213 S . 4th , Kent , attorney representing Mr. Moritz , noted that the City ' s Comprehensive Plan indicates the four corners at the intersection of N . E . 4th St . and Union Ave . N . E . for commercial use . He discussed the philosophy of cluster zoning versus strip zoning and indicated that it was his understanding that the Planning Department subscribed to the theory and that the area had been so designated on the Comprehensive Plan approximately seven or eight years ago . He stated he felt the Commission should consider the history and zoning of adjacent properties when considering the appli - cation and requested that particular attention be given to the fact that the only quadrant of the intersection that doesn ' t have business zoning is approximately 400 feet south of N . E . 4th St . on Union Avenue N . E. and approximately 300 feet deep , which contains the Moritz property . He stated that the applicant has furnished him with information that seems to indicate that the major rezoning on the other three quadrants of the sub- ject intersection probably occurred since the Comprehen- sive Plan was drawn in . He then requested that considera- tion be given to granting the B- 1 designation to keep the southeast quadrant in conformance with the other three . He indicated that minutes from prior hearings relative to this matter noted that there has been no objection from the neighborhood or out of the neighbor- hood to the request . He referred to the application of Dennis R. Oster regarding the rezoning of his property to the south from G to R-3 and stated that granting of this request would provide a buffer between commercial and single family use . In reference to the •68 foot R-3 zoned strip of property immediately north of the subject site , Mr. Kleweno stated that it was their understanding that when the service station was granted this zoning , it was put in as a " holding buffer zone . " In this regard he referred the Commission to a copy of a contract of sale for this property in which it was stated that there was a promise from the purchaser who put in the service station that the seller agrees to rezone of the strip to B- 1 . The attorney said that a copy of the sales agreement , which is dated July 24 , 1970 , would be provided . He noted further that water and sewer facilities are available to serve the property and urged favorable consideration of the application . The Chairman invited further input from the staff but none was offered. Discussion of the request was then opened to the Commission . Concerns expressed involved the need for B- 1 zoning in the area with Commissioner Gibson estimating that approximately seventy-five percent of the property zoned for business use . Renton Planning Commission Meeting September 24 , 1975 Page Ten REZONE: C. DENNIS R. OSTER ; Appl . No . R-827-75 ; Rezon'e from G to R-3 ; property located on the east side of Union Ave . N . E . approx . 500 ' south of N . E . 4th St . The rezone application was introduced by Acting Secretary Mola and a staff presentation was invited by the Chairman . Assistant Planner Smith noted the approximate . 7 acre G zoned site just south of the Moritz site on the map and advised that the Comprehensive Plan indicates the area as medium density. Existing zoning in the vicinity was not reviewed in view of the proximity of the property to the Moritz site . Comments were invited from the applicant by the Chairman . Dennis R. Oster, 316 Union Ave . N . E . , Renton , applicant , stated that he is the owner of the property and currently occupies it as a single family dwelling . Mr. Oster indi - cated that he could speak for the community and that they were in favor of the program put together by Mr. Moritz and himself. It is his feeling that the people want commercial development on his site and he indicated it was his opinion that the east side of Union Ave . N . E . south of N . E . 4th should all be B- 1 , inasmuch as there are very few residents on the street . He noted that the City has established a gravel storage area down the street from his site and pointed out the location of the Prairie Market across the street . He requested approval of his R-3 zoning request . Mr. Magstadt reported that the gravel storage yard des- cribed is located in an area presently owned by the City of Renton and was acquired for the purpose of construction of a water facility for that particular area . The prop- erty has not been developed at this time and is presently being used for storage of gravel by the Public Works Department. Chairman Scholes invited comment from the audience but received no response . He then called for questions or discussion from the Commission . Responding to Commissioner Wik ' s inquiry regarding the plans between the applicant and Mr. Moritz , Mr. Oster indicated that they wished to construct an office build- ing or parking area , which are needed by businesses in the area ; and the neighbors preferred that type of develop- ment to apartments or duplexes . There was a brief discussion relative to the limits of R-3 zoning , and IT WAS MOVED BY GIBSON , SECONDED BY GARRISON , THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE CLOSED . MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY . ACTION: MOVED BY GIBSON, SECONDED BY WALKER , THAT THE DENNIS R . OSTER APPLICATION FOR REZONE FROM G TO R-3 BE GRANTED AS IT IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. Discussion followed , and Commissioner Teegarden stated that it was his opinion that, as in the Moritz ' applica- tion , it would be preferable that the property be designated ' Renton Planning Commission Meeting September 24 , 1975 Page Nine On the question , a roll call vote was requested with the follow- ing results : GARRISON - AYE GIBSON - NO MOLA - NO ROSS - NO TEEGARDEN - AYE WIK - AYE WALKER - AYE MOTION CARRIED. A brief discussion followed regarding the possibility that the action to deny may be appealed , and IT WAS ACTION: MOVED BY TEEGARDEN, SECONDED BY MOLA, THAT THE PLANNING COMMIS- SION RECOMMEND THAT THE HIGHEST LAND USE FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY BE NO GREATER THAN R-3 AS IT IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE COMPREHEN- SIVE PLAN. The Assistant Planning Director advised that should the appli - cant be agreeable at this time , the Planning Commission could ' make a recommendation for an alternative zone which would be of less intensity than that requested . Commissioner Teegarden stated that in the past when an application has been denied and followed by an appeal to the Council , the Council has not really known the Commission ' s thinking on the subject . ACTION: MOVED BY ROSS, SECONDED BY GIBSON, THAT WE TABLE THE MOTION TO ALLOW FOR WORD FROM THE APPLICANT. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Kleweno , applicant ' s attorney , stated that Mr. Moritz did not want the R-3 classification and requested that the record indicate that he was opposed to the recommendation going to the Council . Following a brief discussion , IT WAS ACTION: MOVED BY TEEGARDEN, SECONDED BY MOLA , THAT HIS MOTION BE REMOVED FROM THE TABLE FOR A VOTE. MOTION CARRIED, ROSS AND GIBSON DISSENTING. A roll call vote was requested on the motion relative to the recommendation to the Council , with the following results : GARRISON - NO GIBSON - NO MOLA - AYE ROSS - NO TEEGARDEN - AYE WIK - AYE WALKER - AYE MOTION CARRIED. Renton Planning Commission Meeting September 24 , 1975 Page Twelve The application for preliminary plat approval and exception to the Subdivision Ordinance was introduced by Acting Sec- retary- ,Mol a , „and a staff report requested .. Assistant Planner Smith described the preliminary plat proposed for the approximate three acre , G-7200 zoned site , located in the Kennydale area adjacent to the King County May Creek Park . He noted that proposed access is via an unimproved 25 foot right-of-way known as N . E . 28th , which extends west from Aberdeen Ave . N . E . to Kennewick P1 . N. E . along the south boundary of the site . Mr. Smith displayed a blow-up map of the area and described exist- ing rights-of-way in the vicinity . The proposal is for a ten lot subdivision with lot sizes ranging in size from 8900 square feet to 13, 000 square feet to be developed in a cul -de-sac configuration and serviced by a 50 foot right-of-way in accordance with City standards . Mr. Smith indicated that some pipestem lots were planned on the southwest corner of the property . It is proposed to provide sewers and water from Kenne- wick P1 . N . E . It was noted that the south half of the property is designated as single family residential ,. and the north half . as greenbelt on the Comprehensive Plan . Mr. Smith read the letter from the applicant requesting exception to the Subdivision Ordinance and noted recom- mendations made by the Traffic Engineer and Fire Depart- ment with regard to access , which indicates that Traffic Engineering .has determined that the 25 foot right-of-way is insufficient for the proposed ten-lot subdivision and has recommended a minimum paved 22 foot roadway with adequate pedestrian buffer areas on each side and that the Fire Department noted that 25 feet is inadequate for their equipment and recommended a minimum 40 foot right-of-way and a hydrant at the end of the cul -de-sac . Mr. Smith advised that the Commission may recommend approval of the exception to the City Council , if it is their opinion an undue hardship may be created. The Commission was informed that the Utilities Engineering Division of the Public Works Department indicated no objections with regard to sanitary sewers . Slides and aerial photographs of the area were viewed and described by the Assistant Planner, who noted natural characteristics of the site and essentially single family land use in the vicinity . Responding to Commissioner Gibson , Mr. Smith stated that the creek in the vicinity of N . E . 28th does not meet the flow requirements of the Shoreline Management Act and , therefore , those requirements do not apply . Further questions were invited by the staff, but none were received . The Chairman then invited comment from the applicant. Eben L . Munson , one of the owners of the property purchased in 1966 , noted that their engineer was unable to be present. He described problems encountered with regard to obtaining access and stated that at one time they had availability to other access but that due to a series of circumstances it had been cut off, and it was necessary to use N . E . 28th or to relocate the cul -de-sac and come out on Aberdeen . The County , railroad , and former owner or Lot 51 were involved in these transactions. It was pointed out by the Assistant Planner that when the area was annexed into Renton Planning Commission Meeting September 24, 1975 Page Eleven as R-2 with apartment and professional office development allowed by special permit , as it would create a smoother transition to the single family residential area .

Renton Planning Commission Meeting September 24, 1975 Page Thirteen the City residents retained certain rights through the grand- father clause . "Therefore , property owners could build on lots platted in the County before annexation that fronted on rights-of-way less than 50 feet. Mr. Munson responded that at the time of purchase of the property , some of the houses to the south were not ih existence . He stated further that the topography will not allow access to the west. Questions of Mr. Munson followed with regard to possible acquisition of property to the west or northwest , who indi - cated that a house is in existence in the area desired but was advised by the audience that it ,had burned down . Comments were invited from the audience . Max Pangburn , 2016 N. E. 28th , stated that he had owned his property for almost 26 years and sold most of the railroad right-of-way to King County . He brought the Commission ' s attention to the fact that there is a ' "for sale" sign at the intersection of N . E . 28th' and N . E . 27th , which is where the sewer and road will come in . He suggest ed that the cul -de-sac be rearranged and access relocated in order to alleviate the traffic problem that would be created on the 25 foot roadway. Describing the area as beautiful with large trees throughout and consisting of oversized lots , Mr. Pang- burn objected to the placement of ten houses on the site . Due to ecological and congestion problems , he stated he felt it was appropriate to construct only two or three houses on the site ; and he suggested that the other access be explored . He noted that the area was annexed into the City about 1958. Gary Tischer, 2009 N . E . 28th , advised that' there are several problems and noted that the road does not go through all the way , as it has grown over and that there would be severe difficulties in the winter due to the presence of a hill . He also cited congestion problems that would be created . James Spencer, 2733 Aberdeen , noted large trees in the 25 foot right-of-way which makes the ,area very park-like . He stated that all roads in the area are narrower than indi - cated and inadequate . He stated he felt that additional access west of the Munson property should be looked into , as there are property owners who are interested in selling property to accommodate the recommended widths by the Traffic Engineer and Fire Department. Dwight Lilly , 2221 N . E . 28th , stated that he moved into the area because of the park-like setting and preferred that the neighborhood retain this character. He expressed concern regarding the loss of value to his property if the proposal is approved. He noted the uniqueness of the area within the City of Renton . Eleanore Pangborn , 2016 N . E. 28th , noted that wildlife is frequently seen in the area and stated she felt the proposed development would change that.. It wasnoted that approximately 25 people were present in the audience from the area . Commissioner Teegarden stated that in view of the late hour and large opposition , he recommended referral of the item to a committee for study and work with the applicant and residents of the neighbor- hood . He asked that the staff investigate the availability of the property on the corner of N . E . 27th and N . E . 28th that was indicated as being for sale as it might offer a • solution . . ir Renton Planning Commission /// Meeting September 24 , 1975 • Page Fifteen B, OTHER Chairman Scholes announced a meeting at 8 : 00 p . m. , September 30th , to be attended by committee chairman and himself to prepare four the joint Council /Planning Com- mission meeting on October 2nd .

Comments received from several agencies including the Soil Conservation Service through the Environmental Impact State- ment process request that the pond should . not be filled until other suitable wild- life mitigation areas are established . The SCS previously established the pond as a wetland preservation area , and states in its response to the EIS that "any variance from this plan must meet the approval of the U . S . Fish and Wildlife Service , Washington Department of Game , and Soil Conservation Service , if the two Green River Watershed projects are to go forward to completion . " A study is also presently being undertaken by this Department through a HUD grant to determine the effects of the valley drainage project on the various wetland and wildlife areas of the valley . 3 • The.

COMMENTS: 1 . In order to evaluate the environmental impact, staff has requested additional information in the form of an environmental assessment . - 2. A draft environmental assessment has been received as of June 25, 1974 . In view of the date of submittal, review has not been com- pleted. 3. In view of the existing filling and develop- ment that has occurred on adjacent properties on the West Valley Highway, the proposed rezone to M-P would not present a problem, assuming no further filling o£ the site and development in accordance with M-P standards and S .C .S . requirements .

Environmental impact of the proposed fill is presently being reviewed via the environmental assessment mentioned above . 2 . The westerly portion of the existing site can be developed to M-P standards without requiring additional fill . 3. Allowance of additional fill on said site should be held until review of environmental assessment and need for EIS has been completed. STAFF ,RECOMMENDA- Recommend continuance to July 24 for reasons noted above. !TION: Special Studies Committee Meeting September 22 , 1975 Page Two The exception was considered to be appropriate because : A. Although 25 feet is inadequate for the proposed 10- lot subdivision , a 50-feet wide right-of-way would be detrimental to the area.. Fifty feet was considered to be the minimum for such a 10-lot subdivision because of the impacts of traffic on the area and the street system. B. A reasonable width that could handle a certain amount of additional traffic from a reduced density together with adequate shoulder and pedestrian/buffer widths on each side was determined to be appropriate for the - particular area , and would not be detrimental to adjacent properties . C . The physical characteristics of the site and area (i . e . , unique natural vegetation , proximity to a major park , existing development in the area , and the limited possibility of future development in the area ) are such that a reasonable exception is justified . 2 . Scarsella Brothers , Inc . : Special Permit for fill and grade. The Committee initially discussed the comments from the EIS , especially the Soil Conservation Service comment regarding the pond ' s relationship to the proposed wildlife mitigation areas and the Soil Conservation Service drainage channel project. They reviewed the proposed grading plan , site plan , and Shoreline Permit and felt that it was possible to allow much of the proposed development through a partial permit , and satisfy the agencies that opposed the filling of the pond until other suitable wildlife mitigation areas are firmly established . The final adoption of the Comprehen- sive Plan would solidify the specific areas to be retained as wildlife mitigation areas . Reference was also made to the study of the effects of the P-1 channel system on the wetland areas in the valley , presently being conducted by the Planning Department through HUD funding . • Committee Recommendation : The Committee recommended approval of Special Permit for fill and grade for the westerly 300 feet or to the top bank of the pond , whichever is less , until such time as a final determination of suit- able wildlife habitat areas is made as per the Soil Con- ..servation Service requirements for the P-1 channel drainage project . R i b Special Studies Committee Meeting September 22 , 1975 Page Three The approval is subject to : • A. The establishment of earth berms a minimum five (5 ) feet in height along the north , south , and west side of the property for construction equipment storage area screening subject to final approval of the Plan- ning Department . B. Storm water and sedimentation control methods as approved by the Public Works Department. C . Utilization of suitable erosion control methods approved by the Planning Department. D . Final landscaping plan subject to Planning Department approval . E . Suitable measures shall be used to control dust and sand during the fill operation .

Bill Cokeley indicated that at the present time the SCS is favoring the eastside. This would minimize the protests of the property owners along the west , side of SR-167 and help establish the rationale for designating the east side as a wildlife habitat. , Additional engineering and cost analysis needs to be done, which includes the recrossing of SR-167 and •,the East Valley Highway and whether such recrossing cost could be considered part of the project cost or a cost that must be borne by the , participating governments. • Will the Scarsella pond be drained by the sewer that was recently installed along the rear boundary.? • Bob Berkstrom of the Renton Public Works Department doubts that might happen. Although gravel was employed in the backfill process, the area was so wet during con- -' struction that such •a limited facility would not have much impact on drainage. Even if there were some drain- • age, the space between the gravel would eventually 'silt up and halt any drainage. Bill Cokeley shares this opinion. • • • • • Don Humble, Chairman Comprehensive Plan Committee October 25, 1974 Page Two Has the Planning Department done any work on providing trails in the Valley? Preliminary policies concerning the eventual development which mention trails have been submitted to the Commit- tee. The Department has worked with the Public Works Department on proposed improvements of S.W. 43. This street is to include a pedestrian and bicycle trail along the north side of the facility. . This Department has made an application to ,the Bicentennial Committee for a trail along the East Valley Highway, Lind Avenue, Seventh Avenue, and Edwards St. (private) . Will the P-1 Channel drain the pond south of Shell? Cokeley indicated that he doubted that it would. First, there would be large amounts of spoils from the construc- tion of the P-1 Channel that would act as a dyke. Second, the natural drainage is to the northeast, and the pond is caused by fills blocking the natural drainage. How- ever, it is possible that P-1 might reduce some of the water supply and thereby reduce the size of the pond. Next Meeting: Wednesday, October 30 , 1974 7 : 30 p.m. - 3rd fl. conf. rm. P.S.

A/p� e l OliOw"�nc a few' points on the value and use made of wetlands by ducks, in NG DEpP • • particular the wet area north of 180th and east of the West Valley Highway. . We typed this area as Type 4'.due to the depth and permanency of the .. water as well as the vegetation. A Type 4 can, and does, go dry at ' times, particularly during periods of long dry spells. I think we can agree that this summer. and fall has been such a period. At first, this may seem to destroy the value of the area for ducks. Not so, in all cases! -While it is true that we would prefer a permanent, . , year-round water area; such areas soon lose all their value as they • become overgrown and choked with vegetation such as cattails, bulrushes ' and often willow. Thus, it becomes necessary to clear out such vegeta- i tion to retain open water and cover in 'proper proportions. Periodic . drying of the area, and even agricultural••activities during these dry periods, has the beneficial effect of setting back the vegetation to . something less that-a choked condition when it next fills up--thereby • benefiting the ducks. . 0 In most cases,. wetlands of. this type are used both by breeding ducks, and later as areas to raise the broods. Drying up of a Type 4 is most often late enough in the season so that the broods are flighted and can fly to larger bodies of water still existing. • Another fringe benefit of lowering the water level and even drying up • wetlands, is the change in conditions that allows new plants to germinate. Plants such as smartweed are common under these conditions. Seeds of cmartilced are high quality duck food and are eagerly sought when the wet area fills up. In summary, the drying up of wetlands is not a disaster to ducks; it's • a natural periodic occurance. In most cases the value of the area has been realized--the hatching and rearing of a brood or broods of ducks. • ��, �r . Le 6y A.

McKay , Mr. Hogland stated that it will require about sixty tank truckloads to fill the station and that operation should be accomplished within a • thirty to forty day period . He stated that they hope to never have to fill it again but weather is unpredictable . The present facility has been used only once since its construction . ,. Mr. McKay, 7800 S . 130th , Seattle , asked if in the last ten years there had been any instances of fire . Mr. Hogland responded there had been none . Responding again to Mr. McKay, Mr. Hogland indicated that tanks are loaded with a pressure piping connection into the tank loading facil - ity pump and moves the product into the tanks internally , and there would be no vapor emissions . Mr. McKay inquired if the area is on an earthquake fault. Mr. Ericksen advised that there are fault lines along the westerly slope of Talbot Hill and noted that the entire Puget Sound Basin is subject to earthquakes and the whole area does have conditions that result in earth movement under certain circumstances . Mr. Hogland stated that the design takes into consideration earthquake faults . Responding to Mr. McKay, Mr. Hogland indicated soil in the area is glacial till and provides a solid foundation . Grover Shegrud , 18216 - 196th Ave . S . , Renton , noting that the facility has some danger potential , pointed out that it is located in the vicinity of several schools .

Chairman Teegarden introduced the continued item to the Com- mission and asked the Planning Director for a brief summary .. Noting that the site includes approximately 5 . 8 acres of which approximately three comprise the Soil Conservation Service ponding area , the Planning Director advised that the staff had requested continuance to allow for review of the environmental assessment presented by the applicant and to make a determination whether or not an environmental impact statement would be necessary. A letter in opposition had been received from Thomas W. Mitchell , 3425 S . 176th , Seattle . .. ' The Planning Director read a recommendation from Joan Lankford , Assistant Planner, Landscape Designer, that an environmental impact statement be prepared for the following reasons : . 1 . The impact not only on this property but also adja- cent properties within the City lying within the Interurban Right-of-way and the Green River to the north of S .

" Renton Planning Commission Meeting July 10 , 1974 Page Four by other municipalities to the 'westand south . It was noted that development of the Scarsella site can commence while the impact statement is in process and being prepared . The Chairman invited comment from the applicant . Mr. Alan Austin , lawyer representing Scarsella Brothers , stated that Mr. Scarsella wished to fill the property so he can use the entire site and have the availability of the railroad trackage . The smaller site development plan had not been considered , but the matter will be review- ed with Mr. Scarsella ; and an amended plan will be submitted if it is deemed appropriate . The applicant hopes to fill the site during the summer while he has the material and the weather is favorable . He stated that they would cooperate in the preparation of an EIS . Noting the damage occurs when filling a site , Mr. Teegarden said he felt the Commission should seriously consider the implications and investigate alternatives . He then requested comment from the audience but received none .

Discussion followed regarding the availability of the EIS in order to give the applicant an indication of Planning Commission action . Noting state requirements , the Planning Director stated that a minimum of three of four months would be necessary before a final EIS could be provided . Commissioner Ross stated he intended to vote against the motion , as he did not consider the request for continuance valid . On the question , MOTION CARRIED, ROSS DESSENTING. 4. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS FOR MEETING OF JULY 24, 1974: The Planning Director reviewed the following new items of business , displayed site and vicinity maps and described filling and landscaping plans where pertinent . It was noted that the Shell Oil Company application for special permit to construct a petroleum marketing plant in H- 1 zone , a continued item, will also be considered . FINAL PLAT APPLICATION A. CRESENT VIEW ADDITION; Appl . FP-770-74 ; applica- tion for final plat approval ; property located on N . E . 16th St. and Kennewick Ave . N . E . The Planning Director noted that this final plat conforms to the preliminary plat plan previously approved and has been constructed in accordance with the Subdivision Ordi - nance . REZONE: B. G.V.R. INC. ;Appl . R-778- 74 ; rezone from G9600 to B- 1 ; property located on Jones Ave . N . E . south of the Pro- duction Co . and Weichmann Enterprises . Renton Planning Commission Meeting July 10 , 1974 Page Three 2 . The filling and development of properties in this area as presently being undertaken on a piecemeal basis could result in significant impact on adjacent properties and possibly place the City in liability if filling and development were not properly conducted due to water displacement and runoff to adjacent properties . 3. The significance of filling the ponding area and its loss as a wildlife habitat is unknown in terms of the immediate and longrange effects . If the ponding area is filled , alternatives should be reviewed and recommendations made to Soil Conservation Service . 4. There is a significant need for a coordinated approach in the development of said property and adjacent areas in terms of a total concept which would meet the requirements of the Soil Conserva- tion Service Green River Drainage Plan. Mr. Ericksen advised that the City Council is considering the adoption of a resolution to concur in the Soil Conser- vation Service proposed Green River Drainage Plan . He stated that in view of the pending adoption of a resolution by City of Renton , the staff felt it was necessary that an EIS be prepared and that all of the questions be addressed . Staff recommendation for partial development of the prop- erty was noted by the Planning Director , who stated that the site included 2 . 3* acres , or 100 ,000± square feet of filled area in the westerly end ( total area 5 . 8 acres less 3 acres of pond and . 5 acre in NE corner) . He described the proposed site development plan , which includes 1500 sq . ft. for the office , 14 , 000 sq . ft. for the warehouse , and 7500 sq . ft . for parking . With 80 ,000 sq . ft. for exterior storage , the area to be developed totals 103 ,000 , sq . ft . , which seems to offer a reasonable oppor- tunity for development under M/P standards . He stated that an application for site plan approval has not been submitted by the applicant at this time . He recommended that a plan for the westerly portion be developed and offered staff assistance . The Chairman invited comment from the Commission. Commis- sioner Humble , noting that the decision to request an EIS precluded any action by the Planning Commission , advised the members of the forthcoming public hearing on July 31 regarding possible changes to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan , especially as it relates to the Green River Valley. He stated that they should be able to act on the revised plan , which will allow for state and federal requirements , and provide a basis for total rather than piecemeal action . Responding to Commissioner Morrison , Mr. Ericksen pointed out the pond on the map and indicated that it covers approxi - mately 5 . 5 acres in total and extends onto property to the south . Commissioner Ross stated that he believed the pond is the result of an unfinished construction program and noted that construction permits in the Valley are being issued • • THOMAS W.

Smith %G a(c; DEP Re: Scarsella Brothers, Inc , Rezone and Special Permit Applications Gentlemen: We represent Scarsella Brothers, Inc. and this letter is submitted to you in response to your letter of June 5, 1974 re- questing an environmental assessment of the proposed action. We have followed your outline for Environmental Impact .Statements, , without the summary sheet. A. The Proposed Action The affected property is located along the east side of West Valley Highway north of its intersection with south- west 43rd street. Its legal description is as follows : The South 329 . 85 feet of government lot 7 , Section 25, .Township 23 North, Range 4 East, W.M. , King County, Washington. The type of action requested is an amendment to the zoning ordinance rezoning the property from G General Class- ification District to M-P Manufacturing Park District and for permits for filling and grading the property and for the construction of an office building and repair shop there- on. The property is classified for light industry or M-P use on the Renton Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. It is bounded on the west by the four-lane West Valley Highway and on the • east by the Puget Sound Railroad Right-of-way . The property • i 4 • I City of Renton Planning Department ATT: Mr. Michael. L. Smith Page Two June 25, 1974 immediately adjoining to the north is zoned M-P, as is { property to the south. Sternoff Metals Corporation's operation is located to the southeast across the railroad right-of-way. Scarsella Brothers, Inc. presently operates its con- struction business and repair shop on a site at 16025 Pacific Highway South. The recent death of one of the brother-owners necessitated a division of the business and its assets be- tween the widow of the deceased owner and the surviving owner- brother, Antonio Scarsella. By this division Mr. Scarsella retained the business itself, its operating equipment and the subject property and the widow retained the property and improvements on Pacific Highway South and other real property owned by the corporation. Antonio Scarsella is now president of the corporation. The corporation has been p permitted to continue its operations out of the Pacific Highway site on a temporary basis and under a one-year lease which expires , in May of 1975. Thus, the corporation is obliged to relocate its office and repair facilities and the logical site is the subject property, which has been owned by the corporation for more than ten years. It is classified for the requested use on the Comprehensive Plan and the proposed use would intrude upon no 'other less/ intensive uses. The West Valley Highway pro- vides the site and its proposed use with ideal access. The Planning Commission has previously considered this matter at a public hearing in March of this year. That hear- ing was pursuant to notice and citizen imput was received at that time. The suggestion was made at that hearing that the pond which exists on the back half of the property during the wet season should be retained in its natural state. The applicant owns the property free and clear and proposes to finance the proposed site developments and im- provements through private funds. The proposal is consis- • tent with the master plan for this area. It would be in • ' City of• Renton Planning Department ATT: Mr. Michael L. Smith Page Three June 25, 1974 • furtherance of that plan to change its Land Use Classification from its present holding classification of G to M-P. The actions remaining for implementation are the formal actions of the Planning Commission and the City Council on the rezone application, the review and approval of the site and use plans by the Planning Commission, and the issuance of the permits for the proposed grading and construction. B. Existing Conditions 1. Natural setting The site contains approximately 5. 81 acres and slopes gradually from the west to the east. Its geological make up is the sandy loam typical of the valley. The applicant knows of no animal life living on the property although it would be expected that the property would be visited from time to time by birds and small ground animals indigenous to the valley area. The applicant has personally seen mud hens on the property but has not seen any• ducks or other similar migrating water fowl. The report of the United States Soils Conservation Service indicates that ducks and other migrating water fowl may visit the property on an intermittent basis. The property is undeveloped and completely cleared except for two fruit trees on the western portion, a half dozen or• so small willow trees, and is covered by brushy vegetation such as "skunk cabbage" and the like. There are no evergreens. In the wet season a shallow pond forms on the easterly one-half of the site and on the property to the south. This ' pond is created strictly by surface waters and is not fed by any stream or springs . The pond stagnates and dries up or becomes just mud in the summertime. City of Renton Planning Department ATT: Mr. Michael L. Smith Page Four June 25, 1974 The atmospheric conditions are those generally common to the valley area. No rare or endangered biological or botanical species are known to be present. 2 . Human Use, Development or Values There is no nearby residentially zoned property. There are some scattered, old houses some distance to the south. The large commercial development of South Center is located east across West Valley Highway and the Green River. There are industrial developments to the north including N C Machinery and Stoneway Concrete Products. The existing developments to the west are industrial, notably the large tract used by Sternoff Metals Corporation and a large industrial park. The transportation system in the area utilizes the West Valley Highway for private automobiles, commercial and business vehicles and -public motor buses. The property is also served- on the east by railroad. There are no educational, religious or scientific uses in the area nor any known historical sites . C. Environmental Impact of the Proposed Action 1. Changes in Natural Characteristics 'The proposed rezone itself will cause no changes in the natural characteristics of the property. The proposed filling and grading will remove the existing brush and fill the lower portions of the property to a grade generally leval with the existing grade of West Valley Highway and the seasonal pond will disappear. No significant impact will be caused on the geology or soils. Two buildings, an office building and a- repair shop , will be constructed as shown on the submitted plan. The required parking areas will be surfaced with an impervious City of Renton Planning Department ATT: Mr. Michael L. Smith Page Five June 25, 1974 material. The entire site will be surrounded by cyclone fence for security purposes. The westerly frontage will be landscaped as shown on the submitted plan. The yard area will be surfaced with pervious crushed rock. The fill material to be used will facilitate drain- age and the placement of that fill will not affect existing utilities or other facilities. The impervious roof surfaces and parking areas will be an insignificant portion of the total site and the accelerated runoffs therefrom will be quickly absorbed through the permeable on-site surfaces . The surface waters which now collect on the easterly portion of the property will not be piped or channelled but will be permitted to disburse into their natural drainway. Thus, no change will be made in the natural drainage patterns of the area. The proposed development will cause no significant changes in the atmosphere. Construction equipment will be brought to the site only when in need of repair or servicing which cannot be performed at the location of where the equip- ment is then working. The employees ' and customers ' automobiles and the operation of the office and repair shops will result in no significant increase in the noise and air pollution levels now existing in the area, which are generated by the traffic on West Valley Highway, the train traffic and existing industrial uses in the area. The existing transportation facilities and the utilities now in existence or now being constructed are adequate to service the proposed project. The proposed° project will cause no significant changes in either the biological or botanical species in the area. Community patterns will not be affected. City of Renton Planning Department ATT: Mr. Michael L. Smith Page Six June 25, 1974 The proposed use is compatible with and will not affect existing human uses in the area. The area 's population will not be affected. D. Unavoidable Adverse Environmental Effects On the short term, it is expected that only the on-site grading and construction noise and dust could have any adverse impact. These are certainly mitigated by the size of the site itself, its isolated location from any residential or less intensive uses, and may well be insignificant when considered in light of the existing noise generators in the area, i.e. the West Valley Highway, the railroad, and the existing in- dustrial uses. The approximate construction period for the total completion of the project is one year. There will be no necessity to re-route any vehicular or pedestrial traffic in the area during the construction period. On the long term, only the loss of the pond on the property could be considered an adverse impact. The plan of the Soil Conservation Service to preserve 110 acres of valley wetlands in their existing state has not been implemented and the location of the wetlands is subject to change. The Soil • Conservation Service has indicated that there are other wetlands of superior or equal value located in the valley area which would be acceptable for preservation as part of the plan. The biological significance of this pond is sub- ject to serious question. The allocation of the 110 acres to be preserved among the participating communities and a plan for their acquisition has not been determined nor have the acquisition costs been funded. E. Alternates to the Proposed Action The applicant's existing' office and shop site is available to him only until May of 1975 . Thus, unless he City of Renton Planning Department ATT: Mr. Michael L. Smith - Page Seven June 25, 1974 ceases business, the alternative of staying there is not available. The applicant did not consider alternate sites since the proposed site is already owned and the applicant believes it to. be ideal for his purposes. His proposed use of the site complies with the comprehensive plan and has good location and access. The alternate of developing only the westerly portion of the site was rejected because of the area needs for the operation of the applicant' s business and the desire to have access to the rail line on the east. The use of one-half of the property as part of a public system of valley wetlands is inconsistent with the applicant's proposed use of the pro- perty. F. Relationship Between Local Short-Term Environmental Uses and the Maintenance and Enhancement of Long-Term Productivity The construction of the West Valley Highway on the west of this property and the rail line on the east signifi- cantly modified its natural character and committed the land to some use more intensive than residential. The Compre- hensive Plan recognizes that fact and states that the suitable future use of this property is industrial. As long as the highway and rail line bracket the pro- perty it will not be developed for residential use. To attempt to preserve this land as open space on a short-term basis by refusing to zone it for its planned use and/or denying permits which would permit its development in accordance with existing codes, is unfair and can have no significant effect on its long-term productivity from an environmental standpoint. To reserve its use as part of a public system of valley wetlands on a long-term basis would require new regu- lations and decisions as to how the public can acquire the • 4 City of Renton Planning Department ATT: Mr. Michael L. Smith • Page Eight June 25, 1974 rights to use . this privately-owned property and how to compensate the owner therefor and spread the cost thereof equitably. The decisions and strategies for controlling land use and human use of the environment should be designed to enhance its long-term productivity. The proposed use of this land does not preclude a wetlands plan for the valley nor its implementation. G. Irreversible and Irretrievable Resource Commitments with the Proposed Action Development in accordance with the proposed plan would allow the alteration of approximately one-half of the property which should be considered to be permanent for at least the useful life of the buildings. The loss of the portion of the pond on this property will be replaced by new buildings and new planted areas . There are wetlands of superior or equal quality located in the valley which can be reserved, which are part of much larger tracts, and which are not bordered on two sides by high use transportation facilities ..

SP-760-74 , Special Permit to Allow Filling and Grading . The site plan review process and all allowable uses . in the M/P Ordinance were discussed , and it was concluded that these uses would have no detrimental impact on adjacent developed or zoned properties . Examination of Exhibit B and C of Resolution #1864 shows no public access right-of-way through the subject property would be required , although a utility easement may be desirable . The Committee recommends approval of request for rezone to M/P . Request for filling and grading was discussed . The suggested development of a wildlife sanctuary on a portion of the sub- ject property was determined to be the paramount concern to be reviewed. The location of a sanctuary -'should not have a major arterial highway along one side and a main line rail - road trackage on the opposite side . The sanctuary would not benefit from the high cost of installed utilities and access that now exist . The Committee feels the selection of sanctu- ary site should be the result of finding the site to be most remote from major traffic thoroughfares and that it should be planned into a compatible development that would best pre- serve those amenities needed to nurture the existence of our fellow creatures . A survey -plan that does show the final grade elevation to be compatible with abutting rights-of-way and adjacent proper- ties should be of record ; if such a plan is submitted showing the final grade does conform with the Soil Conservation Serv- ice specifications , the Committee would recommend approval to the Commission body . Meeting recessed at 8 : 00 p . m. - reconvened at 10 : 15 p .m . and adjourned at 11 : 00 p .m. Renton Planning Comi s i on ._ Meeting March 27 , 1;, - Page Six The effects of the Shoreline Master Program on the applica- tion were noted.

Exist- ing uses in the vicinity , including duplexes and single family residences , were pointed out. Off-site improvements would be required , in accordance with City ordinance . The exception to the Subdivision Ordinance requested earlier has been resolved . Comments from the applicant were invited by the Chairman . Roger Peterson , 1836 N . E . 36th , Renton , advised that the loca- tion of the duplexes was established to avoid traffic clutter at the end of the cul -de-sac . Each unit is designed and situ- ated to resemble a single family residence . He stated that they were meeting : 1 R the requirements rements of the Subdivision Ordi - nance . Responding to Chairman Teegarden , Mr . Peterson indicated that they intend to keep the property at the end of the cul -de- sac as open space . A. L . Vaughn , 3013 N . E . 8th , Renton , inquired regarding the height of the property . He stated that N . E . 8th is a narrow street , and he feels that 18 additional units will mean con- gestion on the street. He also feels there are too many units planned for the property . Charles Gramps , 2919 N . E . 8th P1 . , Renton , questioned the lot sizes planned and stated that he feels the development will depreciate the value of his property which borders on the site . Chairman Teegarden asked the applicant why he didn ' t sub- divide the property . Mr. Peterson stated that they are the tentative purchasers and that this procedure would be a shorter process . ItviiIon I' Idnniir -`Commission Meeting March 19/4 Page Five Chairman Teegarden recommended that restrictive cove- ; nants be drawn up at the time the request is presented to the Council . Mr. Er,icksen noted that the covenants would have to be filed voluntarily by the applicant. A five minute recess was declared by the Chairman at 10 :05 p .m.

W. 43rd Street on West Valley Highway. The Chairman requested that the Commission consider both the application for rezone and request for special permit to allow filling and grading of this property simultaneously . He asked for a presentation from the Planning staff. • Mr. Smith , Assistant Planner , pointed out the location of the 5 . 8 acre site , which is situated east of the West Valley Highway at S. W. 43rd . The area is adjacent to an existing M-P parcel . The site is presently unde- veloped and includes a large ponding area , which will require filling . Mr. Smith noted that the pond has been under study by the Soil Conservation Service and has been ' proposed for preservation as a natural habitat for water- -fowl . The proposed use is for an office building , ware- house and outside storage area for construction equipment. Slides and aerial photographs of the site were shown by the Planning Director. Mr. Teegarden invited comment from . the applicant. Antonio Scarsella , president of the corporation , stated that they would like to fill the site to allow for building or sale . He indicated they plan to fill the entire site , raising the grade so that it will drain toward the Green River rather than the Milwaukee/Burlington Railroad tracks . He described the pond as a breeding place for mosquitoes and noted that it almost dries up in the summer months . At this time they prefer to build a construction facility for their business to replace the one presently located off Highway 99 . Landscaping and fencing will be provided. They hope to complete construction some time this summer and will comply with. any City requirements . Discussion followed regarding consideration of preserva- tion of natural areas . The Planning Director advised that there was no proposal for acquisition of the property _ by the Soil Conservation Service . The site is part 'of an. area presently under study in the Valley Drainage Plan . It will be incumbent upon local jurisdictions and indus- trial owners to comply with the requirements of the Soil Conservation Service . Therefore , this is a factor to be considered by the Planning Commission . The Chairman requested that the Planning Director prepare a briefing on the question of preservation of natural areas to be presented at the April administrative meeting . i • FF • Staff Report March. 22 , 1974 • Page Four STAFF Recommend approval subject to : RECOMMENDA- TION : 1 .
