Kta 2.0 INTRODUCTION Monterey Terrace Associates, is a limited partnership whose managing partner is Environmental Research and Development Company (ERADCO) . In keeping with the City of Renton Planned Unit Development Ordinance and a Restrictive Covenant dated February 22, 1977, ERADCO presents this Preliminary Plan for the residential development of the site previously known as Stoneway Gravel Pits . The development concept will provide a mixed environment of single family attached and multi-family residences within a parklike setting. Though the site, a former gravel pit, no longer can be deemed in its natural state, it is our intention to utilize and maintain those natural and topographical aspects which can enhance the livability of the site . Specifically the present terraced contouring, wherever possible, will be main- tained to enhance both residential privacy and view potential. Total density of the site will be kept substantially below the level stipulated by the present residential zoning. It is anticipated that by reducing the total number of units to be built on the site, the impact of site development on surrounding developments will be mini- mized. Both the lowest density building types and extra generous setbacks have been planned for areas abutting existing residential development. 3 A RENTON BUILDING DEPARINIcNT f;1 J OIPAL BUILDI.,u 200 MILL PVENUE SOUTH RENTON, WASH. 96055 AN 2 8 RECD In keeping with the desire to provide a livable and scenic environment, it is planned that all road and utility construction will optimize the present contours of the site, while providing necessary access, parking and emergency vehicle turnarounds . On-site roads and parking areas will be buffered from housing by utilizing the existing terraced topography and incorporating strategic green belt landscaping. The large greenbelt on the south western border of the site will be maintained in its natural state for passive recreation and wildlife habitat, thus preserving some sense of the wilderness setting of the site. It is further planned that this greenbelt will be linked to the residences on site with a jogging and hiking trail. 4 RENTON BUILDING DEPARTMENT] MUNICIPAL BUILDI,'iu 200 PAI L AVENUE SOUTH f,L14 f J14, WASH. 96055 JAN 2.a 3.0 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL This project provides a comprehensive residential develop- ment providing a maximum of 425 dwelling units , consisting of single and multi-family residences . Ample parking, adjacent landscaped buffer zones and garden terraces , with a 16.5 acre dedicated greenbelt containing a jogging/hiking trail is planned to compliment housing. Construction types will be single family attached and row housing in clusters of four to seven units , two story apartments , walkup townhouses over flats , and three to five story apartments . See Plate A5. 5 RENTON BUILDING DEPARTMENT; 4UNL 1PAL BUILD' _; 2?': ,i AVENUE . l H RcNVTUIV, WASH. .,J)5 JAN 4.0 RELATIONSHIP TO PUD ORDINANCE The ERADCO Preliminary Plan generally conforms to the purpose of the PUD Ordinance by its approach to development which enhances the natural features of the site, creates desirable residential neighborhoods , and is environmentally compatible with existing and man-made features surrounding the site. 4. 1 The Preliminary Plan calls for a variety of cluster groups with graduated density configurations to provide a transition between existing single family detached residences proposed east of the site. See Plate A5 4. 2 The proposal maintains existing topography wherever possible, taking advantage of existing green belts as well as terraced contours to maximize privacy and views . 4. 3 Design of residential clusters will utilize landscaped buffer zones built around existing topographic features , parking, roadways , and garden terraces to provide further residential privacy and cut down on the overall scale of the project. 4.4 The Preliminary Plan will enhance and expand upon the original restrictive covenants by lowering the overall site density below that contemplated originally. See Plate A4 6 RENTON BUILDING DEPARTMtNGmINICIPALQUILDING 2RENTON?WASH. 98035 JAN 2 8 REC'D 5.0 DENSITY, OPEN SPACE, SETBACKS, LANDSCAPING 5 . 1 DENSITY The proposed maximum density for the site falls 30 below that allowed under current zoning. See Plate A4. 5 . 2 OPEN SPACES The PUD Ordinance requires a minimum of 35% of the net developable area to be set aside for common open space . This area may be utilized for either active or passive recreation. The Preliminary Plan, with the intent of maximizing the sense of green space on the site, esta- blishes further restrictive covenants which limit building coverage to a maximum of 35% of any portion of the site, and only 157 coverage in Density Area 1. See Plate A4. In keeping with this intent, the Preliminary Plan en- compasses a range of "soft" recreation facilities built around a jogging/hiking trail with a series of scenic overlooks . The intent is to maintain an open, natural sense of the site rather than the more typical "amenities" such as swimming pools , tennis courts , clubhouses , etc. Landscaped earth berms will be used in areas of more dense development as an attempt to maintain the open space quality of the site . Earth berms will be a minimum of three feet above surrounding elevations and planted with appropriate ground cover and/or shrubs to prevent erosion. The PUD Ordinance further requires that ground level dwelling units shall have private open space contiguous 7 RENTON BUILDING DEPARTMENT' 1Uf' ICIPAL BUILDI.a:_4 2 `,1':.L AVENUE S3 .I H WASH. 9 fl,5 JAN 2 8 ktc'q to the dwelling unit and equal to a minimum of 2070 of the site covered by the dwelling unit. Such open space shall not be less than 500 square feet per unit. All other dwelling units shall be provided open space of not less than 5% of the gross square footage of the dwelling unit. Such open space. shall not be less than 100 square feet. 5 . 3 SET BACKS The Preliminary Plan provides for both development of new landscaped buffer zones as well as maintenance of the existing green belt zone to buffer the total site from those areas immediately adjacent to the site. At present only one area of residential development exists adjacent to the site, at the northwest corner. A set- back and landscaped buffer zone for this area will be provided, amounting to 100 feet in width. The eastern border of the site will be buffered by a landscaped road and buffer zone. The southerly border of the site is a dedicated green belt ranging in width from 150 feet to 400 feet . Minimum setback between all buildings is 20 feet. 5 . 4 SLOPE Plate A2 depicts the slope of the site . No building construction is to take place on 16 . 5 acres of the sloped green belt. On the remaining 25 acres the proposed maximum density for the site falls 30% below that allowed by current zoning. This will cover any reduction in density due to natural land slope in excess of 15%. 5 . 5 LANDSCAPING The Preliminary Plan maintains the existing natural growth to the extent possible. Since the building site proper is no longer in its natural state, and has little natural growth, most on-site landscaping in this area will be developed and planted after construction. 8 RENTON BUILDING DEPAR T M_NT, iJ Ilii.I?AL BUILDIN :, L AVENUE SU,I H fie.i1ON, WASH. 980 i5 6.0 DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND PHASING JAN 2 8 REC'D Because of the current financing and marketing situations , the ERADCO PUD will be phased. Consistent with the current PUD Ordinance the first phase of the approved PUD will be completed within two years from the date of the approval of final plans . For aPUD the size of the ERADCO project, the PUD Ordinance states tha the approval of a final plan covering at least 10% of either the site area or floor area of the total project shall constitute a two year extension of the approved preliminary plan. It is anticipated that the first step of construction will consist of preparation of the easterly access road for heavy construction vehicles, on-site rough grading of circulation roads and bringing local utilities to the site. The second step would include site grading and extending of utilities . Housing construction is anticipated to begin in the north- westerly portion of the property and proceed up the hill toward the east. During construction phases it is anticipated that the easterly access road will be used for heavy construction equipment, while the Blaine Avenue N.E. would be used for small vehicle access . 9 RENTON BUILDING DEPARTMENT MUNICIPAL BUILDING 200 114i'_L AVENUE S. JTH R'IV i ON, WASH. 3 Uo5 JAN 2 8 REC'D 7.0 ROADS AND CIRCULATION . An access road will be constructed, to enter the site at the northeast corner. This road will be a 36' paved road- way built upon a 60' right of way consistent with the City of Renton Standards. A traffic light and appropriate lane separations as well as compatible landscaping will be provided. See site plate no. A6. Secondary circulation roads on site will be a 24' paved roadway with graded and planted shoulders . Minor access roads and driveways will be a minimum of 20' paved road- ways with soft shoulders . See section 5. 3 and standards for each Density Zone for appropriate set backs from roads . No parking will be allowed along roads on site. Pedestrian paths will be hard surface with six foot widths for paths serving more than one building and a minimum of four foot widths for paths serving individual units and/or buildings . The jogging/hiking path will be a graded and drained cinder/gravel surface varying in width from a minimum of four feet to areas up to 10 feet in width. 10 RENTON BUILDING DEPART MUNICIPAL BUILDIN 200 MI•_L,',,dENUE SOUTH RENTON, WASH. 98055 8.0 UTILITIES JAN 2 8 R'o 8. 1 WATER SUPPLY The water system, from a 16 inch main on Third Avenue North, will conform to the City of Renton standards for design, construction and materials . Fire flow requirements will be met with 5000 gpm/ hr. Water lines will be run along the site circulation roadways as appropriate. 8. 2 SANITARY SEWERS Three alternatives are outlined in the utilities analysis . Each alternative involves the use of 8 inch lines connecting with existing systems , two of which approach the site from the north, the third being the Metro line adjacent to the Maple Valley Highway. Accessing the north side lines will involve acquiring rights of way from property owners for sewer connection, while the access to the Metro line would require significant disruption of the green belt. 8. 3 STORM WATER RUN OFF It is anticipated that surface water will be handled by a combination of underground collection and surface retention basins . The system would be linked with the storm drainage ditches adjacent to the Maple Valley Highway, with an energy dissipater at the juncture with the ditch to accommodate the heavy flow down the hill. 8. 4 LIGHTING All exterior and security lighting will have underground service and be designed and erected subject to residential standards consistent with those of the City of Renton. No internally lighted signs will be allowed on the site. 11 R RENTON BUILDING DEPARTMENT) MUNICIPAL BUILDIA.:; 200 MILL AVENUE SO.,I H RENTON, WASH. 980J5 8 .5 ELECTRIC POWER JAN 2 8 REGU Three phase electric power is available along N.E. Third Avenue at the entrance to the site. A looped service (underground) would be provided for the site along the new access road. 8. 6 NATURAL GAS Natural Gas is available from a 8 inch high pressure main on N.E. Third and a 4 inch high pressure main at the bottom of the bluff near the west corner of the site. Choice of access would depend upon Washington Natural Gas ' s decision relative to costs , rights of way, etc. See Plate No. 10 for proposed utility patterns . 8. 7 ROADS Circulation roadways will be paved and landscaped. No on street parking will be allowed on the circulation routes . All parking will be provided in parking strips or in covered parking adjacent to the dwelling units . Adequate emergency vehicle turn around will be provided as required. 12 RENTON BUILDING DEPAU:Mc116 MUNICIPAL BUI_.

Third Street and Sunset Boulevard North. 9. 3 LOCAL ACCESS Local access will be provided by the construction of a new paved road meeting the North East corner of the property, originating on N.E. Third Street. This road will be augmented on the site with a circulation road system designed for maximum access to the site for both residential and emergency vehicular traffic. 9 .4 TRAFFIC IMPACT Primary traffic impact will be felt on N.E . Third Street with the predominant flow westerly from the new access road toward Sunset Boulevard North. Preliminary studies of this impact point toward the construction of a signal at the access road intersection with N.E . Third Street. Complete analysis and trip figures have been provided in the Environmental Impact Statement. 9 . 5 GRADING STANDARDS Detailed site engineering plans have not been made as yet and without such detailed engineering analysis it is impossible to accurately determine the amount of cut or fill. However, preliminary calculations indicate a probable maximum of 65 , 000 cubic yards to be excavated and removed from the site and 15, 000 cubic yards of top soil to be imported to the site. These quantities are consistent with the Preliminary Plan objective of not disturbing the site more than is absolutely necessary. 13 F4Et^JTON BUILDING DEPPr'T 414rM rMUNICIPALBUILD, 200 MILL AVENUE S, H RENTON WASH.

De;cription of the Proposal Thl proponent is requesting permits for the development of a Planned Unit Development consisting of single family attached and multi-family housing, associated parking areas and open space. Consistent with the graduated densities of the four zoning designations on the project site, the residential buildings will increase in height and density from west to east. A maximum of 425 units is planned ranging in price from $60,000 to $90,000. The townhouse units will feature 2 parking spaces per unit, while the remaining unit types will feature 1.75 spaces each. A jogging trill will be constructed around 25 acres of the site, and landscaping will be planted in parking areas and between adjacent buildings . The PU) will comply with the zoning designations approved by Ordinance #3113, adppted on March 4, 1977 . B. Impacts and Mitigating Measures Physical Environment 1 . Earth a. Geology and Soils 1/Impacts It is estimated that 50,000 to 55,000 cubic yards of earth will be displaced during construction of the road system on the site. About 15,000 cubic yards of topsoils would be imported for use in final landscaping. Mitigating Measures a) The City' s requirements on grading and excavation will be followed. b) All the recommendations of the soils engineer will be followed. 2 b. Topography Impacts Topography will be modified in order to create building and road sites . Mitigating Measures None. c. Unique Physical Features Impacts A jogging trail and a potential utility trench may be constructed through the greenbelt. Mitigating Measures a) The denuded areas should be reseeded immediately upon completion and a jute net should be applied over the cleared area until vegetation is reestablished. b) A 25-foot setback from the top of the bluff should be maintained. d. Erosion Impacts During excavation and grading , the potential for erosion would increase. Erosion may occur during the construction of the jogging path and the possible utility trench in the greenbelt.1/ Mitigating Measures a) A permanent surface water management system consisting of a combination of underground collection and surface retention basins will be installed to connect with the storm drainage ditches adjacent to Maple Valley Highway. An energy dissipator at the juncture of the ditch will moderate the velocity of the water flow down the hill. b) The denuded areas resulting from jogging trail construction should be reseeded immediately and a jute net should be applied over the cleared areas until the vegetation is reestablished. 3 2. Air Quality Impacts There will be a short-term increase in dust and fumes during construction phases. Over the long-term, under "worst case" conditions, the increase of 204 vehicles during the peak hour can be expected to increase existing carbon monoxide levels by about 1.6 parts per million during the evening peak hour. Mitigating Measures a) Utilize low-emission construction equipment whenever feasible. b) Measures to control construction dust, such as watering and reseeding of cleared areas , cleaning , and sweeping of streets will be implemented. 3. Water Runoff/Absorption Impacts Increased surface runoff from the site; however, the peak rate of runoff world remain at existing levels. Increased levels of polluted surface runoff. All alteration of runoff characteristics will occur with the diversion of storm flow into ditches and storm pipes. Mitigating Measures a) Utilize temporary detention ponds during construction phases to collect silt. I) Careful construction practices would prevent litter, debris, or other pollutants from entering drainage. c) Collect stormwater runoff in a storm sewer system. d) Utilize catch basins and screens to collect litter and debris . e) Utilize oil/water separators to retain gas, oil, and grease for removal from stormwater. f) Settling basins would remove solids from runoff. g) Provide adequate street and parking area cleaning and maintenance of the stormwater system. 4 Groundwater Movement, Quantity and Quality Impacts Alteration of groundwater movement during excavation and construction. Mitigating Measures None. 4. Flora Impacts Removal of most of the sparse vegetation currently on the buildable portion of the site, with the exception of any sizable stands of large trees. Mitigating Measures a) Present plans call for retention of as many of the existing trees as possible through sensitive site planning. b) Retain vegetation outside of road improvements until buidings are constructed, as feasible. c) Minor modifications of building siting will occur based on tree inventories provided by field suryeys. d) No trees will be removed from the greenbelt area. 5. Fauna Impacts Reduction of potential habitat areas which will result in the reduction or elimination of the number and/or diversity of species utilizing the site. Mitigating Measures a) Retain as much natural vegetation as possible. b) Utilize landscaping materials that provide food sources for birds and small animals. 5 6. Nose Impacts (Short-Term) Dining construction activities, noise levels will increase considerably, wi:h frequent noise peaks depending on the type of equipment used. Trsffic noise will increase on adjacent streets. Mi:igating Measures a) Construction equipment that will not exceed the State of Washington maximum environmental noise standards will be employed and operated accordingly. b) Noisy operations should be scheduled so that they are not concurrent. c) The hours of operation of construction equipment will be limited. d) Truck arrivals should be controlled to reduce vehicle congestion. e) Construction equipment should be placed as far from property boundaries as possible. f) Roadway improvements should be timed to alleviate congestion and reduce volumes on existing streets . Impacts (Long-Term) Increase in traffic movements will result in a proportionate increase in noise levels. Increases in noise levels due to human activity at the site will occur. Mitigating Measures See "Vehicular Transportation Generated - Mitigating Measures" on p. 7 . 7 . Light and Glare Impacts Addition of low-level lighting on the site. The traffic generated by the site will increase the incidence of headlight glare. Some glare will be produced by reflections from windows and the buildings themselves. Mitigating Measures e) Perimeter landscaping, fencing, and berming, especially around parking areas and road entrances, will reduce light spillage. 6 b) Parking area lighting could be limited so that no direct light spills off-site. 8. Land Use Impacts Change in the land use of the site, from vacant land to a planned unit development. Mitigating Measures Sixteen acres of the site will be Reserved as a greenbelt and a landscaped buffer will separate the R-1 portion of the site from the existing residential subdivision to the north. 9. Natural Resources Impacts Consumption of some natural resources for construction and maintenance of the project such as energy and raw materials used in concrete, steel, aluminum, glass, copper and other materials of varying scarcity. Mitigating Measures None. HUMAN ENVIRONMENT 1. Population Impacts Population on the site will increase from zero to 1164 to 1173 persons over a period of three to five years. Mitigating Measures Development of the site to a lower density would result in a decrease in residential population. 2. Housing Impacts Housing density will increase from zero up to 425 units. 7 Mitigating Measures Node required. 3. Transportation/Circulation a. Vehicular Transportation Generated Impacts The project could generate approximately 2,546 vehicle trips per day and about 204 one-way trips during the evening peak hour. These added traffic volumes will primarily impact the intersection of the primary access road with Northeast Third Street during the morning and evening peak hours. Mitigating Measures Inquire at Metro as to the feasibility of and collaborate with them in the planning of erecting a bus shelter in the site vicinity to encourage transit ridership. b. Parking Facilities Impacts Project development will result in the construction of 1.75 parking spaces for each apartment unit and 2 parking spaces for each townhouse unit in the R-1 zone. No overflow of parking supply is expected. Mitigating Measures None. c. Transportation Systems Impacts A potential increase in transit demand may result. Mitigating Measures a) A traffic signal with "volume-density" timing features could be installed at the intersection of the primary access road with N.E. Third Street. 8 b) N.E. Third Street could be widened at its intersection with the primary access road to accommodate westbound left-turning vehicles. d. Movement/Circulation of People or Goods Impacts An increase in pedestrian activity may be expected as a result of construction of the project and jogging trail around the site. Mitigating Measures None. e. Traffic Hazards Impacts The project-generated traffic exiting and entering the site at the intersection of the primary access road with Northeast Third Street will interrupt the continuous traffic flow on the arterial. Mitigating Measures a) A traffic signal with volume-density timing features should be installed at that intersection to ensure safe and smooth traffic flows on both roads. b) Localized widening may be required at the subject intersection to accommodate left-turning vehicles. 4. Public Services a. Fire Impacts Increase in the demand for fire protection services at the site. Over the short-term, construction activity may increase the hazards of fire fighting. During occupancy, the fire protection and emergency aid responsibilities of the Renton Fire Department would be increased by the influx of 1 ,164 to 1 , 173 residents and the construction of 425 dwelling units . 9 Mitigating Measures a) The Fire Department will be notified in advance of any extended street blockage. b) Sprinkler (life support) systems installed in buildings would reduce the amount of fire flow required. c) Select building materials that would reduce combustibility. b. Police Impacts Demand for police protection services could potentially increase during the construction phase. During occupany, service requirements for the site will increase, but existing manpower and equipment are adequate to serve this added demand. Mitigating Measures Internal security systems and security lighting installed at appropriate strategic locations would augment police protection. c. Schools Impacts Approximately 258 school-aged children would be added to the school system. Existing facilities can accommodate this increase. Property tax revenues from the proposed development and increased local sales tax will help offset the cost of additional services. Mitigating Measures None. d. Parks and Other Recreational Facilities Impacts The number of people using regional and area parks and recreational facilities may increase. 10 Mitigating Measures a) A jogging trail will be constructed along the perimeter of the buildable portion of the site. b) A variety of on-site recreational facilities, such as swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, tot lots, and open playground areas could be provided, lcoated by the individual builders. c) A walking trail could be constructed through the greenbelt to provide pedestrian access to Cedar River Park via the sidewalks along Maple Valley Highway. d) A fee could be donated to the City Capital Improvements Program for purchase and development of property to accommodate the re- quired recreational space. e. Maintenance Impacts Street maintenance demands on City Engineering Department will increase due to construction vehicles carrying materials to and from the site and depositing mud and dust onto adjacent streets. During occupancy, the City of Renton Public Works Department will maintain water and sewer lines as well as public roadways and drainage facilities located within them. Mitigating Measures a) Wash the wheels of exiting vehicles during construction to minimize mud deposition on adjacent streets. b) Cover the trucks carrying excavation loads with canvas or tarp. c) Developer could provide regular street cleaning. f. Other Governmental Services Hospital Facilities Impacts The proposed development is not expected to significantly affect usage of the Valley General Hospital, lcoated 2-3/4 miles from the site, nor the Group Health Cooperative Clinic, located north of N.E. Third Street. 11 Mitigating Measures None. Libraries Facilities Impacts Development may result in increased patronage of two local libraries but will not necessitate the expansion of services or personnel. Mitigating Measures None. Energy Impacts Increase in demand of electricity and natural gas. Mitigating Measures a) Utilize insulation in walls, floors, roof and install insulated I/ glass. b) Major living areas of the units (living rooms, bedrooms) could be oriented toward the southern exposure of the building when feasible. c) An energy analysis of building design elements could be undertaken to assess feasibility of reducing long-term demand, e.g. , passive solar energy systems. 5. Utilities Impacts Existing water supply and system would experience some additional demand. Accditional demand for communication facilities would be generated . Deterioration of the quality of water entering combined sewer and storm drainage system is possible during construction activity and increased qtantity as a result of the increased impervious surface on the site. Erergy demand on the site will increase substantially. I/ 12 Mitigating Measures a) A permanent surface water management system consisting of a combination of underground collection and surface retention basins will be installed to connect with the storm drainage ditches adjacent to Maple Valley Highway. An energy dissipator at the juncture of the ditch will moderate the velocity of water flow down the hill. 6. Human Health Impacts Although noise generated during construction activities could be a source of annoyance and irritation to area residents, it is not expected to cause significant mental or physical damage. Mitigating Measures Refer to the mitigating measures listed under "Noise," page 5 . 7 . Aesthetics Impacts The visual appearance of the site will be altered from a former gravel pit site to multi-family residential structures, parking areas, and landscaping. Mitigating Measures a) A minimum 25-foot wide setback and landscaped buffer area will separate the proposed site and the adjacent residential neighborhood to the northwest. b) Building units in that area could be below the foundation levels of houses and be limited to 2 stories in height (i.e. , townhouses) . c) The eastern border of the site will be lined with a landscaped road to act as a buffer for the quarry activity to the east of the subject property. d) The greenbelt, ranging in width from 150 feet to 400 feet, located along the southerly border of the site will remain intact. 8. Recreation (See Parks and Other Recreational Facilities, page 9.) 13 9 . Archaeological/Historical Im'ac is No known historical sites or archaeological resources exist on the site. Due to the previous extraction use on the site, it is unlikely that such resources exist there. Mitigating Measures If any significant artifacts are unearthed during construction activities , immediate action should be taken to evaluate their significance with the appropriate authorities. C. Alternatives Considered No development would produce neither the adverse impacts of the proposed action nor its positive aspects. The site would remain a depleted quarry, Olen space, and wildlife habitat. Demand for housing would not be appeased. No action on this site could transfer the impacts of this type of development to another site which may or may not be as well suited for development. Development to Single Family Density would result in a development of a less intense use (125 dwelling units) than the proposed action. This would utilize the site below its potential as identified in the City of Renton Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Impacts on the physical and human elements of the environment resulting from this alternative would be similar to those of the proposed action, but less intensive. Development to Maximum Density would result in the utilization of the site to its fullest potential (625 dwelling units) as identified in the City of Renton Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Generally, is pacts on the physical and human elements of the environments would be greater than those incurred by the implementation of the proposed action. Alternative Site Access would involve construction of the residential btildings as proposed. However, rather than accessing the site via Ncrtheast Third Street, site access would occur via a roadway constructed 14 through the greenbelt from Maple Valley Highway. Although the traffic impacts on N.E. Third Street and other arterials to the northeast and northwest would be eliminated, considerable degradation to the greenbelt would result. D. Unavoidable Adverse Environmental Impacts The Physical Environment Geology and Soils Exposure and disturbance of about 50,000 to 55,000 cubic yards of surface soils over 25 acres of the site. Erosion Possible soil erosion from the site during construction activities. Air Qualitl Construction activities will generate increased levels of particulates in the form of dust. Additional motor vehicle traffic will increase particulate levels and carbon monoxide levels (a 1.6 ppm increase in the latter) . Water Potential for increased surface runoff from the site. Flora Reduction of potential habitat areas which will result in the elimination of the number and/or diversity of species utilizing the site. Fauna Construction will result in a loss and/or deterioration of habitat on the I site. Noise Noise levels will increase over the short-term due to construction activities, and over the long-term due to increased traffic volumes and residential activities associated with up to 425 units and 1,164 to 1,173 1 inhabitants. 15 Laid Use Alternative land uses for the site will be foreclosed for the life of the building if the project is developed as proposed. Na:ural Resources Consumption ®f some natural resources. The Human Environment Population and Housing The option of building low-cost housing on the site will be eliminated fo7 the life of the proposed buildings; population on the site will increase by up to 425 households and 1,164 to 1,173 individuals. Transportation/Circulation Increased truck traffic during construction. Traffic volumes will increase by approximately 2,546 vehicle trips per day. Potential for increase in traffic hazards. Utilities Demand for all public utilities will increase in proportion to the increase in population on the site. Aesthetics The visual appearance of the site will be altered. Economics Substantial increase in property tax revenues is expected. Short-term erployment for construction workers and long-term opportunities for neighborhood businesses serving the general vicinity would result from implementation of the proposed action. 16 II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL A. Name and Sponsor of the Project The proponent, Environmental Research and Development Corporation of Seittle, Washington, is requesting permits for the development of ERADCO, a Planned Unit Development of medium density single family attached and mu.ti-family housing and open space uses. B. Project Location Th 2 site is located in the southeastern portion of Renton, Washington and contains approximately 41 .5 acres bounded by SR-169 (Maple Valley Highway) , Monterey Terrace subdivision and Mt. Olivet Cemetery and the Bonneville Power Right-of-Way. The site is located in the northeast quarter of Section 17, Township 23N. , Range 5 E. in King County, Washington. Appendix A discloses the legal description. (See Vicinity Ma), p. viii.) C. AL2ncies Involved Ci :y of Renton, Washington D. De :ailed Project Description Coisistent with the graduated densities of the four zoning designations on the project site, the residential buildings proposed to be constructed would vary in height and density. 1 The structures proposed to be constructed within the R-1 and R-2 zoning designations would together average 11 units per acre with maximum heights of 25 feet and 30 feet respectively. In the R-3 and R-4 sections, proposed density would range fr,m 22-25 dwelling units per acre with maximum heights of 35 feet and 65 feet respectively. With a total of up to 425 units planned, the project si:e will be developed to 70% of the maximum density allowed under the zo iing code. 1Ii accordance with Ordinance #3113, adopted March 4, 1977.

Construction types will be single family attached and row housing in clusters of 4-7 units, two-story apartments, walkup townhouses over flats and 3-5 story apartments. R-ltownhouses will feature 2 parking spaces per unit, while the remaining unit types will feature 1 .75 each. Prices for the residential units will range from $60,000 to $90,000. Building exteriors will be a combination of natural wood and stucco and about 50% of the units will contain fireplaces. On the level acreage, a jogging trail will be constructed on the project site and landscaping will be introduced upon completion of the project to be located in parking areas and between adjacent buildings. The objective of the proposal is to provide a mixed residential environment of single family attached and multi-family uses within a park-like setting. The natural and topographical aspects of the site will be maintained and utilized to enhance the livability of the development. Specifically, the present contouring, whenever possible, will be retained to ensure both residential privacy and view potential. E. Major Physical and Engineering Aspects of the Proposal It is anticipated that the first phase of construction will consist of preparation of the easterly access road for heavy construction vehicles, on-site rough grading of circulation roads and bringing local utilities to the site. This phase will begin within one year of Master Plan approval and should be substantially completed within 18 months. The second phase includes site grading, extending of utilities, and building construction should begin within a year and a half of plan approval. Housing construction is anticipated to begin in the northwesterly portion of the property, and proceed up the hill toward the east. During construction phases it is anticipated that the easterly access road will be used for heavy construction equipment, while the Blaine Avenue N.E. would be used for small vehicle access. 111111, etemmU-ii - ,k--'1'' '1' ....

ZONING MAP SC URGE:CITY OF RENTON ZONING ERADCO PUD NCRTH 1' r. 8OO'1978 R. W. THORPE & ASSOCIATES 23 F. Consistency or Inconsistency with Comprehensive Land Use Plans and Zoning Regulations , and Region, City and Neighborhood Goals , Objectives and Policies The City of Renton Zoning Code The site was rezoned from Residence District (R-1) and Suburban Residence District (S-1) to Residence Districts (R-1, R-2, R-3 and R-4) and Greenbelt by Ordinance #3113, adopted on March 4, 1977. The R-1 designation signifies residential single family with minimum lot area of 7,200 square feet. The R-2 designation signifies residential duplex with minimum lot area of 7,200 square feet. Residential zones R-3 and R-4 signify residential multi-family with minimum lot area of 5,000 square feet. The proposal is consistent with this zoning. The total develop- ment will comply with the rezone conditions and requirements of the Planned Unit Development Ordinance. The City Comprehensive Plan The proposed Planned Unit Development lies within an area on the Comprehensive Map which designates greenbelt and multi-family uses in ascending density from west to east. The western-most portion of the site in addition to the greenbelt bluff is designated greenbelt. About 1/4 of the site immediately to the east is designated low-density multi- family; the center half of the buildable portion of the property is designated medium density multi-family and the final eastern-most half is slated for high-density multi-family. (See Figures 9 and 10.) Also refer to p. for a discussion of the relationship of the proposal to existing land uses in the area.) Other Plans and Policies Because the property is not located within a flood hazard nor a shoreline management zone, regulations governing those situations do not apply. The proposed Planned Unit Development is consistent with the Puget Sound Council of Government's King Sub-regional Plan, adopted in December 1978. Policy 1 related to Phased Growth encourages that new growth be concen- trated in established urban areas.

PHYSICAL ENVIROrftNT EARTH Earth Sciences provided the foundation and soils investigation for the proposed ERADCO PUD. Dated March 13, 1980, this report summarizes the findings, conclusions, and recommendations based on analysis of existing technical data, 12 exploratory back-hoe excavated test pits and laboratory soils testing. The following information is taken from that report, the full text of which is provided in Appendix B. 1. GM LOGY AND SOILS Existing Conditions The soil on the site consists of an upper layer of fine to medium grained sand with local coarser fractions including some gravel. This unit is of recessional glacial origin. Stratigraphically below the sand and exposed at various points along the lower slope of the greenbelt, is a formation of very dense pre-glacial strata including glacial till and variable silt-sand-gravel mixtures. The soils engineer indicates that the soil pr)vides adequate support for the proposed development. Impacts It is estimated that approximately 50,000 to 55,000 cubic yards of earth will be redistributed during construction of the road system on the site. No Development Conditions would remain as described in Existing Conditions. Development to Single Family Density Impacts resulting from excavation for building foundations and parking spices associated with 125 dwelling units would be less extensive than these created by the proposal; however, it can be expected that a greater amount of topsoil would be required for landscaping than would be necessary for the proposal. tn, 45 ..

Alternative Side Access Geologic impacts resulting from this alternative are difficult to access at this stage without detailed soil and geologic studies of the wooded hillside. However, this alternative would result in the excavation of 452,000 cubic feet of earth material in order to construct a roadway length of about 2,200 linear feet consisting of two ten foot lanes with fcur foot wide paved shoulders on each side. Mitigating Measures a) All the recommendations of the soils engineer will be followed. b) The City's requirements on grading and excavation will be followed. Unavoidable Adverse Environmental Impacts Exposure and disturbance of 50,000 to 55,000 cubic yards of surface soils on the site. 2• TO'OGRAPHY Existing Conditions Approximately 25 acres of the 41.5 acre site is cleared and relatively flat, resulting from previous use as a gravel extraction operation. The renaining area consists of a steep, wooded hillside which drops some 250 vertical feet from the aforementioned flat area down to Maple Valley Hi;hway. Im 3acts Ex:avation procedures for the construction of roads and building foundations will occur on the flat portion of the site. However, the original topography could be restored at the end of the project' s useful life. 31 No Development Conditions would remain as described under Existing Conditions. Development to a Single Family Density Changes in site topography could be expected to approximate those resulting from project implementation. Development to Maximum Density Changes in the topography would not substantially differ from those created by the subject proposal. Alternative Site Access This alternative would significantly impact the greenbelt, specifically, with the construction of finished slopes of 1-1/2 to 1 grade. A maximum profile slope of 10%, with slopes around the sharp curves reduced to 7.5% in the 2,200 linear foot long roadway would result. Mitigating Measures None. Unavoidable Adverse Environmental Impacts None. 3- .UNIQUE PHYSICAL FEATURES Axisting Conditions About 16 acres of the 41.5 acre site consists of a steep, wooded hillside which drops 250 vertical feet down to Maple Valley Highway. Impacts Although the greenbelt will remain largely intact, project design plans for the construction of a jogging trail along its upland rim. Also, it may be necessary to connect a storm sewer into the Metro sewer trunk line at the base of the bluff along Maple Valley Highway. 32 No Development Conditions would remain as described under Existing Conditions. DEvelopment to Single Family Density In pacts would be similar to those of the proposal. DEvelopment to Maximum Density In pacts would be similar to those of the proposal. Alternative Site Access Tre 28 foot wide roadway would bisect the greenbelt resulting in a significant impact on the wooded hillside . Mitigating Measures a) The denuded area should be seeded immediately upon completion and a jute net should be applied over the cleared area until vegetation is reestablished. b) A 25-foot hillside setback from the top of the bluff should be maintained. Unavoidable Adverse Environmental Impacts No ie. 4. EF;OSION Existing Conditions The highly permeable and unsaturated surface soils across the site currently absorb most of the precipitation with no adverse downslope effects. Therefore, there is little evidence of significant erosion on thy! site. Im)acts During excavation and grading, where existing vegetation would be reiioved, the potential for erosion would increase. On the steep slopes of the greenbelt, the soil would be highly erosive. However, the slopes are currently covered by dense vegetation and would remain so, except 33 for the aforementioned jogging path and the potential utility trench to be introduced. No Development Presently there is little evidence of significant erosion on the site. Natural erosion would continue. Development to Single Family Density This low-density alternative would require less extensive clearing of surface soil materials and would thus, produce less potential for erosion than the proposal. Development to Maximum Density The increased density would not have a significantly larger impact on erosion than the proposal; however, use of the jogging trail would be heavier than the use created by the proposal. Potential for significant erosion could increase with the increase in usage of the trail. Alternative Site Access Construction of the Maple Valley Highway Access Road would increase the potential significant erosion on a steep hillside. Mitigating Measures a) A permanent surface water management system consisting of a combination of underground collection and surface retention basins will be installed to connect with the storm drainage ditches adjacent to Maple Valley Highway. An energy dissipator at the juncture of the ditch will moderate the velocity of the water flow down the hill. b) The denuded area resulting from the jogging trail and potential utility trench construction should be reseeded immediately and a jute net should be applied over the cleared areas until vegetation is reestablished. Unavoidable Adverse Environmental Impacts Possible soil erosion from the site during construction activities. 34 5. Accretion/Avulsion S: nce the site does not exhibit the natural processes of accretion and alulsion, an analysis of environmental impacts is not necessary. AIR 1•PARTICULATE LEVELS Existing Conditions Tte Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency (PSAPCA) monitors air gtality at selected sites. The sites nearest to the proposed project wtich monitor particulate levels are the S.E. District Health Center 12015 S.E. 128th) and the Renton Municipal Building (South Second Street ar.d Mill Avenue South) . As indicated in the following table, particulate levels are generally increasing annually, yet are well within the standards. Table 1 Summary of Pollutant Concentrations in the Renton Area Particulate Matter parts per million (ppm) Locatioi 1979 1978 1977 Standard S.E. District Health Center 43 36 38 60 Renton 4unicipal Building 59 55 51 60 Thi! measurements at these stations will differ from what can be expected at the project site, because of their proximity to major air pollution sources. Information from these stations, however, represents the best data available, short of monitoring air quality at the actual site . The adjacent gravel extraction operation to the east of the site is a probable source of suspended particulate matter at the project site. Nearby homes (fireplaces) and traffic on adjacent streets may also impact the. air quality of the site. 1A: r Quality Data Summary, Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency, 1979. 35 Impacts Over the short-term, suspended particulate levels (soot and dust) will be increased by construction activity, especially during the period of excavation. About 50% of the housing units will contain fireplaces. One fireplace generates about .17 pounds of particulates per hour while it is burning wood (half seasoned). Under worst case conditions, 36 pounds of particulates per hour would be generated if all the fireplaces were simultaneously in use. However, the fireplaces in the project are not the principal heating source for the units, so their use will probably not be continual, even in the winter months. Particulate matter will also be generated by additional traffic around the site. 2• CARBON MONOXIDE Existing Conditions Although neither the Department of Ecology nor the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency maintain monitoring stations for carbon monoxide in the Renton area, figures could be obtained from the Washington State Highway Department as illustrated in Table 2 below. 36 Table 2 Carbon Monoxide Levels Carbon Monoxide ppm Location Period 1 Hr Max 8 Hr Max Airport Way & Logan Avenue January-March 1977 9.0 8.0 Southcenter Blvd & 57th S.

Draft EIS, January 1979) Carbon monoxide levels are approaching the eight hour standard during the worst case" winter months. However, the carbon monoxide levels at these stations are probably higher than those at the project site, due to their proximity to major arterials. It/pacts Tte traffic analysis projects an increase of approximately 2,546 vehicle trips per day. An increase of this magnitude is expected to increase carbon monoxide levels by 1.6 parts per million, but will probably not result in violations of federal and regional standards. No Development Conditions would remain as described under Existing Conditions. Development to Single Family Density Over the short-term during the construction phase, suspended particulate le'Tels caused by dust would be less due to a shorter construction sc'iedule. However, air pollution generated from the fireplaces would be 37 at least as concentrated as estimated for the proposal. Particulate levels generated by traffic volumes associated with 125 dwelling units would be less than those generated from the proposed project. With the decreased density, carbon monoxide levels would be less than those levels generated by the proposed project due to decreased traffic volume generation. Development to Maximum Density Particulate Levels Over the short-term suspended particulate levels, in the form of dust would be higher than those emitted from the proposed project due to construction of 200 additional dwelling units. The number of fireplaces could be expected to increase in direct proportion to the increase in welling units. It could also be expected that an additional 7 lbs. of articulates per hour would be generated by maximumd evelopment if all fireplaces were simultaneously in use. Particulate matter would also increase due to an increase in traffic volumes around the site. Carbon monoxide levels would increase proportionately with the increase of traffic volumes associated with 625 dwelling units. Alternative Site Access Particulate levels would not significantly differ from the proposal over the short-term during road construction. Carbon monoxide levels would not appreciably differ over the long-term as a result of the alternative road access . Mitigating Measures a) Utilize low-emission construction equipment whenever feasible. b) Measures to control construction dust, such as watering and reseeding of cleared areas, cleaning and sweeping of streets will be implemented. 38 Uaavoidable Adverse Impacts Slort-term increase in pollutant levels as a result of construction activities. Long-term increase in pollutant levels due to increased vehicular activities. 4'ATER E:,sting Conditions Tiere is no surface water on the site, except for seasonal ponding at the southeast portion of the site. Permeable soils over the entire site result in a high proportion of absorption of rainfall, which then travels laterally once impermeable layers are reached. This overflow travels dcwn the greenbelt sloping to the west and enters the ditch abutting SF-169 and ultimately enters the Cedar River. Small, scattered, possibly irtermittent springs were noted between the two soil formations and irternal to the lower formation along the embankment. Impacts Temporary detention facilities will be required during the construction phases of development in order to control potential siltation resulting from erosion. These facilities will be removed upon completion of the development. Ap)roximately 70 percent of the site will be converted to impermeable su-faces. This will increase the potential stormwater runoff from the site. Stormwater runoff levels generated after construction commences will comply with the Renton Storm and Surface Water Drainage Ordinance 3174. This regulation mandates that peak runoff rates not exceed the peak rate of runoff of a ten-year storm prior to development. In the case of the subject site, the present rates of runoff for 10- and 25-year storms are 4.5 cubic feet per second (cfs) and 5.3 cfs, respectively. Without detention, it is estimated that construction would generate a peek runoff rate of 22.2 cfs during a 10-year storm and 27.6 cfs during a 25-year storm. Stormwater runoff, however, will be collected by storm sever, routed through silt traps and oil/water separators and detained on the site in conventional underground storage facilities before entering 39 the City storm sewer system located adjacent to SR-169. The silt traps will remove most solid materials and the oil-water separators will remove petroleum products and other floating debris . These will require periodic maintenance to remain effective. Thus, the total volume of runoff will increase, but the maximum rate of runoff will remain approximately the same. For additional details on the detention system, see Appendix G. No Development Conditions would remain as described under Existing Conditions. Development to Single Family Density Stormwater run-off volumes would be less than the amount generated by the proposed project due to a decrease in impervious surface on the site. Development to Maximum Density Stormwater run-off levels would be greater than those levels estimated for the proposed project due to an increase in impervious surface on the site. Alternative Site Access Stormwater run-off created by construction of the roadway would be collected and channeled into an underground drainage system and catch basins at 300 foot intervals along the outside edge of the top of the slope. The inside edge of the roadway along the toe of the slope would be equipped with a rock-lined drainage swale relieved by crossroad drains to each catch basin. The total volume of run-off from the site would increase as a result of this alternative. Mitigating Measures a) Utilize temporary detention ponds during construction phases to collect silt. b) Careful construction practices will prevent litter, debris, or other pollutants from entering drainage. 40 c) Collect stormwater runoff in a storm sewer system. d) Utilize catch basins and screens to collect litter and debris. e) Utilize oil/water separators to retain gas, oil, and grease for removal from stormwater. f) Settling basins would remove solids from runoff. g) Provide adequate street and parking area cleaning and maintenance of the stormwater system. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts Inzrease in total runoff volume. FLORA Existing Conditions Ths vegetation analysis for the site of the proposed development is based on several on-site investigations. The site consists of two distinct setions: the westerly border of the site contains a steep greenbelt area which will remain intact and the majority of the site is a comparatively flit plateau area where the construction will occur. Thi. greenbelt features species typical of natural stand of mature growth vegetation. These include western red cedar, Douglas fir, hemlock, co :tonwood, maple, alder, in addition to salal, Oregon grape, sword fern, nei:tles, etc. Tim buildable portion of the project site was previously used in gravel extraction activities, and thus the original vegetation has been destroyed. There is, however, regrowth of successional plant materials, namely alder, scotch broom and seasonal tall grasses. A few stands of large coniferous trees are located along the perimeter of the upland area. Essentially, the site is barren of undergrowth. Ism acts The greenbelt slope will remain intact, with the primary intrusions resulting from increased human activity and the addition of a jogging trail along the top of it. 41 Most of the sparse vegetation currently existing on the buildable portion of the site will be removed, with the exception of any sizable stands of large trees. Landscaping consisting of native plant materials will help mitigate this loss . No Development Conditions would remain as described under Existing Conditions. Development to Single Family Density Since construction to 125 dwelling units would require less building area. It is likely that a greater portion of the existing vegetation would remain intact with this alternative. In addition, upon completion of the home construction, a greater amount of open space would remain available for landscaping. Development to Maximum Density It could be expected that a greater amount of the existing site vegetation would be removed with implementation of this alternative than would be removed with the implementation of the proposed development. Alternative Site Access A 28 foot wide and 2,200 foot long strip of major vegetation in the greenbelt would be removed as a result of the implementation of this alternative. Mitigating Measures a) Retention of as many of the existing trees as possible through sensitive site planning. b) Retain vegetation outside of road and railroad improvements until buildings are constructed, as feasible. c) Minor modifications of building siting will occur based on tree inventories provided by field surveys. d) No trees will be removed from the greenbelt area. 42 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts Removal of most of the vegetation from the buildable portion of the site. FAUNA Existing Conditions W: ldlife on the site consists of birds and small animals tolerant of an urban environment. Potential habitat area is present on the site, particularly in the greenbelt. In pacts In pacts to wildlife will be the result of loss and deterioration of habitat. Most of the productive habitat along the greenbelt will be left largely undisturbed. The addition of new landscaping and the retention of some of the natural vegetation on the buildable portion of the site may partially offset this impact. Species displaced from the site will have to compete for the remaining habitat and some may perish as a result. No Development Conditions would remain as described under Existing Conditions. Development to Single Family Density Construction of 300 fewer dwelling units than proposed would result in till preservation of additional existing habitat thus impacting the site faina less than the project. Development to Maximum Family Density Haiitat would most likely be impacted more severely by this alternative. In order to construct 625 dwelling units and corresponding parking areas, open space would be reduced. Alternative Site Access Sotne of the habitat existing in the greenbelt would be eliminated by construction of the roadway. The remaining greenbelt habitat could be disturbed by the introduction of traffic activity on the hillside. The impacts on the land portion of the site would be identical to impacts created by the proposal. 43 Mitigating Measures a) Retain as much natural vegetation as possible. b) Utilize landscaping materials that provide food sources for birds and small animals. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts Removal of vegetation will result in the loss of animal habitat. Most species on the site will be eliminated. Urban tolerant species will replace those species which are not. NOISE Nose levels in this statement are expressed in A-weighted decibels, or dBA, which best describes the human perception of noise levels. Each increase of 10 dBA in the noise level is subjectively judged as an approximate doubling of loudness . A fluctuating noise can be described statistically by the noise levels exceeded for given percentages of time during a prescribed time period. The commonly used statistical levels are L99' L90' L50' L10' and L1, for which the number in the subscript indicates the percentage of time that the given level was exceeded. The L99 and L90 are indicative of back- ground noise in the absence of local noise events. The L50 is the median level, exceeded 50% of the time. The Li0 is usually indicative of noise from typical traffic events. L1 is the level exceeded one percent of the time, and is usually indicative of the highest noise levels from buses, trucks and aircraft. Existing Conditions Calibrated noise measurements were taken at two locations on the site on April 2, 1980 between 3:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. and on April 3, 1980 between 10:05 a.m. and 10:25 a.m. Refer to the Vicinity Map on viii for location of sampling stations . 44 High noise levels in the area of proposed action are due primarily to lcw-flying aircraft, jet-engine testing, airplane take-offs and motor vehicles operating on public highways, principally traffic on SR-169. These sources are approximated by the existing noise level readings shown in Table 3, below. Table 3 Existing Noise Levels in Decibels (dBA) in the Vicinity of the Proposed ERADCO PUD Station Number L1 L10 L50 L90 Date and Time 1 74 56 52 50 April 2, 1980, 3:00 pm 2 73 60 50.5 45.5 April 3, 1980, 10:05 am Reading3 were taken by R.W. Thorpe & Associates using Quest ANSI 21.4 (Type 2) sound level meter with an attached wind screen. The sound level meter was calibrated with Quest 2G-2718 calibrator before and after each set of measurements. Weather was sunny and about 50-60 degrees with high clouds and winds between 0-5 miles per hour. The L1 levels shown on Table 3 represent maximum noise levels recorded on thfi site during daytime sampling in April 1980. These L1 levels range from 73 dBA to 74 dBA (engine testing and low jets) . Average noise le els (LS0) within the site range from 50 dBA to 52 dBA. Under the provisions of the Renton Zoning Code, Section 4-734(K) , continuous noise le,'els must not exceed a maximum of 70 dBA with adjustments for types and duration of noise. I pacts There will be a short-term increase in daytime noise levels due to construction activity, with periodic peaks of noise depending on the type of equipment in use. Table 4 shows the types of equipment and their noise potential. All such equipment produces noise at 50 feet which is 45 more than 10 dBA above the EPA' s recommended noise levels for a residential district. Table 5 illustrates noise abatement potential for construction equipment. In the long-term, human activity on the site will lead to a slight increase in noise levels. The 11.5% increase in traffic volumes on Northeast Third Street will result in a proportional increase in traffic noise. Mechanical equipment noise during building operation should not be noticeable. No Development Conditions would remain as described under Existing Conditions. There would be no noise generated by construction, additional traffic volumes or human activity. Development to Single Family Density Noise levels resulting from both short-term construction activities and long-term occupancy of this alternative would be less than those generated by the proposal due to a less extensive construction phase, less population and, in turn, less traffic volume. Development to Maximum Density Short-term noise as a result of construction would last for a longer period of time than for the construction phase of the proposed develop- ment. Noise levels generated by implementation of this alternative would be higher during occupancy due to increased traffic and human activity. 1 46 Table 4 Anticipated Maximum Noise Levels from Construction Equipment Noise Level Construction Phase and Equipment dBA, Leg, at 50 ft) DEMOLITION AND SITE PREPARATION 79-91 50-to 60-ton crane with headache ball 88 D-8 bulldozer 79 D-8 front loader 91 Jackhammer 88 II EXCAVATION 79-91 D-7 bulldozer 80 Front loader 79 15-to 20-cubic-yard dump truck 91 Jackhammer 88 III FOJNDATION 79-98 Earth augering machine (drill) 98 30-to 60-ton crane 83 Welding generator 78 Concrete mixer 85 Concrete pump 82 Concrete vibrator 76 Cement and dump trucks 91 IV EXTERIOR 78-88 welding generator 78 Large Crane 88 Air compressor 81 Pneumatic tool 85 V INTERIOR, FINISHING AND CLEAN-UP 78-91 fir compressor 81 enerator 78 ulldozer 80 Front Loader 79 Dump truck 91 Paver 89 Source: Bolt, Beranek and Newman, Noise from Construction Equipment and Operations, Building Equipment, and Home Appliances, U.S. , Environmen- tal Protection Agency, NIID 300.1, 1971. 47 Table 5 Immediate Abatement Potential of Construction Equipment Noise Level in dB(A) at 50 ft.

U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, December 31, 1971. 48 Alternative Site Access Nc=ise levels associated with construction of housing units would remain the same for both the proposal and this alternative as would long-term occupancy noise levels associated with human activity. Also,noise levels generated by construction of both the proposed roadway and the Maple Valley Access alternative would be approximately the same. However, because of the close proximity of the greenbelt roadway to the housing units, and due to the steep slopes of the greenbelt future residents of tte planned unit development would be subject to increased traffic noise. Mitigating Measures a) Construction equipment that will not exceed the State of Washington maximum environmental noise standards will be employed and operated accordingly. I) Noisy operations should be scheduled so that they are not concurrent. c) The hours of operation of construction equipment will be limited. d) Truck arrivals should be controlled to reduce vehicle congestion. e) Construction should be placed as far from property boundaries as possible. f) Roadway improvements should be timed to alleviate congestion and reduce volumes on existing streets. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts SLort-term noise levels will increase as a result of construction activities. The added traffic volumes will increase the noise levels over the long-term. LIGHT AND GLARE Existing Conditions There are no sources of light or glare currently on the site. Interior ani street lighting from the houses to the northwest of the site may be visible from the site. 49 Impacts The proposed development will result in the addition of lighting, directed downward on the circulation system within the Planned Unit Development. The precise type of lighting to be installed has yet to be determined. The entrance driveway will feature street lights and the eadlights of entering and exiting vehicles will emit light at night. wever, this light should not impact the existing residences located to he north and northwest of the site due to vegetation and topography. hese sources of light generated from the project site will not generally e visible from SR-169 Maple Valley Highway.) o Development one. Development to a Single Family Density mpacts due to street lighting would be the same as those in the roposal. However, the frequency of headlights of entering and exiting ehicles would decrease. Development to Maximum Density Impacts due to street lighting would be the same as those for the Proposal. However, at night, the frequency of headlights of automobiles entering and existing the site increase. Alternative Site Access Impacts in addition to those of the proposal would include street lights through the greenbelt and headlights entering and existing the site, which would be visible from Maple Valley Highway. Mitigating Measures a) Perimeter landscaping, fencing and berming, especially around parking areas and road entrances, will reduce light spillage. b) Parking area lighting could be limited so that no direct light spills off site. 50 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts None. LAND USE E::fisting Conditions The entire site was rezoned by Ordinance #3113, adopted on March 4, 1977. A number of conditions are placed on the rezone regarding building height, greenbelt preservation and access. (For a full discussion of this restrictive covenant, please refer to Appendix F.) The project site is divided into five distinct parcels. (See Figure 12, p 51): Parcel A (1 acre) was rezoned to R-1, with a maximum density of 5 dcrelling units per acre. Parcel B (7 acres) was rezoned to R-2 with a maximum density of 10-12 wits per acre. Parcel C (11.5 acres) was rezoned to R-3 with a maximum density of 20 units per acre. Parcel D (5.5 acres) was rezoned R-4 with a maximum density of 50 units per acre. Parcel E (16 .5 acres) was rezoned Greenbelt and is protected from development in perpetuity. E3 isting Land Use Tie surrounding area is mixed uses with single family residential (to the ncrthwest of the site as well as further north across Northeast Third Street) . Mt. Olivet Cemetery abuts the property to the north and Stoneway Sand and Gravel Company operates a gravel extraction facility to tie south, east, and west of the project site. To the west of the stbject site travels SR-169. The site itself is comprised of vacant, oyen space. Tie area north of N.E. Third Street is composed of both single and multi- family residential uses. The 35-acre Windsor Hills neighborhood consists of about 500 single family homes. The Sunset View apartment complex is r 0 a 413..;i'-.1 :I g M 1 - 4Z40tIrr14!.'

A condominium development, the Vantage Point, has recently been constructed at the corner of N.E. 4th Street and Edmonds Avenue N.E. Impacts The proposed development will directly impact the land use within the site boundaries and may seecondarily impact surrounding land uses in the general vicinity of the site. Approval of the Planned Unit Development proposal will allow conversion of approximately 25.5 acres of vacant open space to multi-family residential uses. The project will be consistent with existing zoning in terms of the type and density of the proposed land use, and is also consistent with the Renton City comprehensive land use designation. This use will be compatible with existing land uses to the north. The Greenbelt bluff which will remain on the southwest border of the site will buffer the proposed uses from the industrial uses to the west of SR-169 (Maple Valley Highway) . The affected single family properties to the north of the site will be buffered by the proposed landscaping. No Development Conditions would remain as described under Existing Conditions. Development to Single Family Density This proposal would impact surrounding land uses less than a higher density development. This alternative would not be as compatible to surrounding land uses as the proposal, most notably the gravel extraction operation. Development to Maximum Density This proposal would develop the site to its full potential in regard to conformance to the City of Renton Zoning Code . However, this proposal would impact the surrounding land uses to a greater extent than the proposal due to a higher level of human activity and an increase in traffic. 54 Alternative Site Development This alternative would permanently alter a strip of the greenbelt, converting a portion of wildlife habitat to impervious surface. Mitigating Measures Sixteen acres of the site will be preserved as greenbelt and a landscaped buffer will separate the R-1 portion of the development from the existing residential subdivision to the north. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts Reduction for the total acreage of open space in the City of Renton. NATURAL RESOURCES Existing Conditions Given that the site is vacant, there is currently no use of natural resources nor any depletion of nonrenewable natural resources at the site. According to a representative of the Stoneway Sand and Gravel Ccmpany, all gravel resources on the site have been depleted. In.pacts Construction of the buildings will consume natural resources, including energy and raw materials used in concrete, steel, aluminum, glass, copper and other materials of varying scarcity. Nr Development Conditions would remain as described under Existing Conditions. Development to Single Family Density Icipacts on natural resources associated with construction would be less than those of the proposal due to less intense development. Development to Maximum Density Impacts related to natural resources associated with construction wuld be greater than those in the proposal due to more intense development. 55 Alternative Site Access Impacts would include those described under the proposal. In addition, a strip of the greenbelt would be permanently converted to impervious surface. Natural resources, including energy and materials used in asphalt and streetlighting, would be consumed but to roughly the same extent as the proposal. Mitigating Measures None. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts Consumption of building materials and energy loss of open space due to residential development. Risk of Explosion or Hazardous Emissions No assessment of environmental impacts is necessary since the project will not involve any quantity of explosive or hazardous substances. c. HUMAN ENVIRONMENT POPULATION Existing Conditions Population data were derived from Puget Sound Council of Governments PSCOG) sources, including their Trends and Policies Comparison Report, September 19 , 1979) and Population and Housing Estimates (1977 and 1978) . The Puget Sound Council of Governments maintains updated population projections according to activity allocation model (AAM) districts comprising one or more census tracts. The proposed project is located in Census Tract 256 which, together with Census Tract 257 comprises AAM District 3840. Population data for Census Tracts 252, 254, and 255 (AAM District 3860) are also discussed, as this population study area appears to have similar population characteristics to the proposed ERADCO Planned Unit Development . Both population study areas are entirely within the city limits of Renton. 56 Table 6 provides information on population and housing characteristics for AAM Districts 3840 and 3860. Table 6 Demographic Trends in AAM District 3840 and 3860, Combined PSCOG, 1979) Yeir/ Total Total Household Di ;t. Population Households Size (Avg.) 19 '6 0 7,359 2,681 2.74 3850 11,918 4,217 2.83 1930 38+0 8,398 3,039 2.76 3850 12,112 4,471 2.71 19)0 3840 11 ,337 4,004 2.83 3850 12,651 4,889 2.58 The 1976 population in AAM District 3840, which includes the project site, was 7,359, compared to 11,918 persons residing within AAM District 3850. Population projections for 1980 forecast a 14% increase in the resident population within AAM District 3840 during the current four-year interim (from 7359 persons to 8398) . The total population within AAM District 3860 in 1976 was 11,918 persons and a 1% increase (to 12,112 persons) is forecast for 1980. Analysis of the data provided in Table 6 indicates that a declining household size is associated with population and housing projections for 1980 and 1990 in AAM District 3860, whereas an increase in household size is projected for AAM District 3840, wherein the project site is located. In pacts Using the 1980 estimated household size for AAM District 3840 (2 .76 persons per dwelling unit), a resident population of approximately 1 ,173 persons may be projected to reside within the 425 dwelling units in the EFADCO PUD. This population would constitute approximately 14% of the 57 1980 estimate of total population within AAM District 3840, or approxi- mately 5.7% of the 1980 estimate of the combined population in AAM Districts 3840 and 3860. These residents would be introduced onto a site which is presently unoccupied and could be expected to originate pre- dominantly from outside the boundaries of AAM Districts 3840 and 3860. No Development Conditions would remain as described in Existing Conditions. Development to Single Family Density A residential population of approximately 345 persons could be projected to reside in the 125 single family homes constructed with that alternative. This population would constitute approximately 1 .7% of the 1980 estimate of the combined population in AAM Districts 3840 and 3860, and 4.1% of the 1980 estimated population for AAM District 3840. Development to Maximum Density A residential population of approximately 1 ,725 persons could be projected to reside within the 625 dwelling units constructed under this alternative development. This represents approximately 25% of the 1980 estimated population for AAM District 3840 and approximately 8.4% of the 1980 estimate of the combined population in AAM Districts 3840 and 3860. Alternative Site Access This alternative would not have an impact on the population. Mitigating Measures Development of the site to a lower density would result in a decrease in residential population. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts None. 58 HOUSING Existing Conditions Th? Spring 1980 edition of the Seattle Real Estate Research Committee reports that the Seattle-Everett SMSA is experiencing a 17% decrease in building permit issuances in 1979 in relation to the previous year. Single family permits declined by 22% and permit issuances in the multi- fanily category were off by 2,486 units, or 12%. Increased development pressure on available lots is expected to continue to escalate the cost of new homes. In addition, the cost of construction for new framed residences is 8% higher in 1980 than in 1979. The single family vacancy rate, currently is estimated to be 1 .78% which is down from the autumn 1979 rate of 1.8%, but up from the rate of 1.6% from Spring 1979. Generally, vacancies have decreased in low- and moderate-priced housing ani increased in higher-priced housing. Vacancy rates for multi-family rental units are presently estimated to be 2.08% which is equal to that of a year ago . The Puget Sound Council of Governments policies comparison report of September 1979 estimates that in 1980 District 3840 in which the site is located) will have a total number of households of 3,339 and Districts 3840 and 3860 will have a combined number of households of 7,510. Impacts The proposal would provide a total of 425 housing units which would develop approximately 70% of the maximum density permitted under the zoning code. Construction types would be single family attached and townhouses in clusters of 4 to 7 units. The addition of 425 housing units would represent approximately 14% of the total households in AAM District 3840. It would represent approximately 5% of the combined household in AAM Districts 3840 and 3860. No Development Conditions would remain as described in Existing Condition. 59 Development to Single Family Density This alternative would develop 125 single family dwelling units which would amount to approximately 4% of the total households in AAM District 3840. The development would amount to approximately 1% of the total number of households in AAM Districts 3840 and 3860. Development to Maximum Density This proposal would provide 625 housing units which would comprise approximately 1% of the total number of households in AAM District 3840 and approximately 8% in the combined Districts of 3840 and 3860. Alternative Site Access Housing impacts under this alternative would not differ from those of the proposed project. Mitigating Measures None. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts None. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION l.VEHICULAR TRANSPORTATION GENERATED Existing Conditions The primary arterials serving the project site are N.E. Third Street which intersects N.E. Sunset Boulevard to the west. Existing traffic volumes near the site on N.E. Third Street have steadily increased from 18,801 vehicles per day in 1973 to 28,523 vehicles per day in 1980 for an overall increase of approximately 3.4 percent annually. Peak hour volumes (for both directions) on N.E. Third Street near the proposed intersection of the primary access road to the development average 2,082 at 7:00 a.m. and 2,089 at 6:00 p.m. 60 Impacts Primary access to the site will be via a paved roadway extending northerly from the northeast corner of the development to N.E. Third Street. Emergency access to the site will be provided via Blaine Avenue N.1% which connects to the site at a point approximately 1,000 feet west of the primary access point. This emergency route will be closed to the general public by suitable barricade devices meeting Renton Fire Department regulations. The on-site circulation system will consist of a roadway system providing access to the major subdivisions within the site and parking areas proximate to each building unit. Parking will not be permitted on access roadways. A ratio of 1.75 parking spaces per unit will be installed for all building types except the townhouse units in the R-1 zone which will feature 2 parking spaces per unit. Cul-de-sacs will be designed to accommodate emergency vehicles and will conform to the City of Renton building standards. Tc estimate the daily trip generation rates that may result from ccnstruction of up to 425 residential units, the traffic consultant used tre rates suggested for various residential land uses by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. The Planned Unit Development will be divided into 332 apartments and 93 condominiums. The applicable average weekday trip generation rates would be 6.1 trips per dwelling unit per day for tre apartments and 5.6 trips per dwelling unit per day for the condo- 61 miniums. 1 Therefore, it is estimated that the entire composite of apartment and condominium uses would produce an approximate 2,546 vehicle trips per day. Because the proposed development and the Monterey Terrace subdivision located directly to the north are both solely residential and their respective occupants are likely to exhibit similar trip destination/ origin and trip purpose characteristics, Monterey Terrace has been used as a model for the development of a traffic distribution analysis for the proposed Planned Unit Development . This comparison, however, was not used in calculating the estimated trip generation rates of the proposed project. The entrance to Monterey Terrace was observed for 30 minutes during a typical weekday morning to determine trip distribution charcteristics for that neighborhood. Traffic was predominantly exiting during that period and it was observed that approximately 82 percent of the vehicles turned left (to the west) upon exiting, whereas about 18 percent of the vehicles turned to the east when exiting. It is expected that these trip distri- bution characteristics will be reflective of those of the proposed development. In order to determine the potential impact of the project-generated traffic volumes on the intersection of West 3rd Street and Sunset Blvd. N. , a capacity analysis was undertaken by the traffic consultant. The full text of the study has been included as a supplement to the Traffic Analysis in Appendix C of this document. 1The term "PUD" applies to a wide range of possible land-uses including single family, multi-family, commercial, owner-occupied, renter-occupied, etc. According to the traffic analyst, the 7 .9 trips per unit specified in the "ITE Trip Generation Manual" is applicable to a single-family planned unit development. The proposal consists of a defined mix of apartments and condominiums which, notwhithstanding the fact they would be developed on a PUD concept, should still have the trip generation rates for those specified uses. Generally, renters and condominium owners generate fewer daily trips than do the traditional homeowners with their larger families. 61A The intersection was analyzed with and without the effects of the proposed project for level of service (LOS) 'D' and with the effects of the project for LOS 'E' .2 The morning peak hour analysis indicates that the intersection is presently 18% over-capacity at LOS 'D' and the additional project trips would increase the capacity deficiency by 6%. During the afternoon peak hour, the intersection presently operates at 7% under-capacity at LOS 'D' but would be 1% over-capacity LOS 'D' with the additional trips. Similarly, a capacity analysis at LOS 'E' for the same intersection reveals that during the morning peak hour, LOS 'E' capacity would be exceeded by 6% with the proposed action, which indicates that the intersection is just at LOS 'E' under existing conditions. In summary, the volume generated by the proposal would have a rela- tively minor impact on the intersection, and this impact would decrease in the future, on arelative basis, due to the natural increase in volumes that can be expected on N.E. 3rd Street. No Development Conditions would remain as described under Existing Conditions. Development to Single Family Density Access and on-site circulation would be approximately the same as described in the proposal. 2 Level of service 'D' is defined in the Highway Capacity Manual as approaching unstable flow" and level of service 'E' is defined as unstable flow." Level of service 'E' is considered the actual capacity of an intersection and is characterized by a condition where all critical movements in the intersection are fully loaded and most motorists will wait an average of a full cycle to move through the intersection. Level of service 'E' is the typical operating mode for intersections near major employment centers during peak traffic periods. 62 Trip generation generated by 125 single family dwelling units would approximate 1,250 trips per day. A parking ratio of 2 spaces per unit would be provided; however, resulting impervious surfaces would be less than the proposal. Development to Maximum Density Access and on-site circulation would be the same as described in the proposal . Trip generation created by 625 dwelling units would approximate 5,000 daily vehicle trips. Parking ratios would also approximate the same as those in the proposal. Alternative Site Access Primary access would be via an access road from the Maple Valley Highway SR-169) entering the south portion of the site. The site circulation system would essentially remain the same; however, circulation would be slightly altered with cars exiting from the south. Parking ratios would be the same as described in the proposal. Trip generation rates would not be affected by this access road. Mitigating Measures Inquire at Metro as to the feasibility of and collaborate with them in the planning of erecting a bus shelter in the site vicinity to encourage transit ridership. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts Increase in peak hour traffic volumes on local streets. 2- Pi4RKfNG FACILITIES Existing Conditions No parking presently occurs on the site which is vacant. Impacts The plans for the ERADCO PUD feature two parking spaces for each townhouse unit in the R-1 zone and 1.75 parking spaces for the remaining 63 unit types. 88 additionalspaces would be required to bring the parking ratio to two parking spaces per unit. No parking will be permitted on the internal circulation route of the PUD. It is anticipated that all parking demand will be accommodated on-site. No Development No ie. Development to Single Family Density Assuming two parking spaces per dwelling unit, approximately 250 spaces wo.ild be required. It is assumed that all parking would be off-street. Development to Maximum Density Parking ratio requirements would be the same as for the proposal. Between 350 and 400 additional off-street parking spaces would be required. Alternative Site Access None. Mitigating Measures None. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts None. 3• TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS EXisting Conditions Refer to the Circulation Map on viii for a graphic depiction of the area rcads most directly impacted by the proposed development. In pacts AE previously indicated, traffic volumes on N.E. Third Street have increased overall by approximately 3 .4 percent annually. Future ircreases may diminish somewhat due to energy shortages and increased 64 driving costs; however, if growth remains consistent and if the project is constructed as propsed, 1985 traffic volume on N.E. Third Street west of the primary access road will be in the range of 29,000 to 35,800 vehicles per day. This increase may require some improvements to the intersection of Northeast Third Street and Sunset Boulevard North. The proposed project in itself will contribute 6% to 7% toward creating a need for such improvements. The primary traffic impact of the proposed development will be at the intersection of the primary access road with N.E. Third Street . Secondary impacts will occur on streets and intersections west of the proposed action. Impacts on streets and intersections east of the proposed development should be minimal due to the anticipated heavy bias toward traffic movements to and from the west. The additional traffic loads which the proposed project will impose on N.E. Third Street west of the primary access road will have some impact on the intersection of NE Third Street and Sunset Boulevard N. The intersection will be moderately impacted during the morning peak hour 7:00 to 8:00 a.m.) and during off-peak periods since the intersection operates far below design capacities during those times. The approach volumes at the intersection of NE Third Street and Sunset Boulevard N. for the westbound approach during the morning peak hour will increase about 4.7 percent following completion of the project. Impacts on other approaches during that period should be very minimal. The afternoon peak hour period will see an overall increase of about 160 vehicles in the intersection; however, there is insufficient information available to determine the percentage of increase for particular approaches during this period. It is reasonable to assume, however, that no approach will experience an increase greater than approximately three to five percent over existing volumes since the additional volumes will be distributed over all four approaches to the intersection. Other intersections and roadways west of the proposed project should not be significantly impacted due to the rapid dispersal of the traffic as it radiates away from the project . 65 No Development Conditions would remain as described in Existing Conditions. Development to Single Family Density Streets and intersections impacted by the proposal would also be impacted by the alternative to a much lesser degree. There would be approximately 1/3 the traffic generated from this alternative compared to the proposal. Development to Maximum Density Streets and intersections impacted by this proposal would also be impacted by this alternative to a greater degree. Traffic generated by this alternative would be approximately 2/3 greater than the traffic generated by the proposal. Alternative Site Access The Maple Valley Highway has traffic characteristics that are very sim- ilar to those on NE 3rd Street. Current traffic volume on the Maple Valley Highway are 21,597 vehicles per day as compared to 28,523 vehicles per day on NE 3rd Street. The peak hour characteristics are also simi- lar for the two roadways, however, the morning peak hour volume on the Maple Valley Highway is currently about 5% greater than that on NE 3rd Street. T1-e provision of the primary plus the alternate access would obviously alter trip distribution characteristics to the extent that a traffic sig- nel would not be required at the intersections of either route with the City's arterial system (See Traffic Warrant Analysis in Traffic Study for Primary Access Roadway) . The fact that each intersection would operate without a traffic signal would encourage a clockwise traffic pattern since the "right-out" "right-in" movements would be substantially easier than 1Eft-turns into or out of the site at either location. 65A The net effect of the provision of the two routes, as compared to the single primary access, would be to concentrate a greater number of morn- ing peak hour trips at the "Maple Valley Wye" while lessening the impacts at the intersection of NE 3rd Street and Sunset Blvd. N. The "Maple Valley Wye" is a complex series of intersections involving freeway ramps, the junction of two major roadways (Maple Valley Highway and Sunset Blvd. N) , a railroad crossing, and two important city streets Bronson Way N. and Houser Way N) . It is one of the most complex inter- sections in the Renton area and it uses a highly sophisticated form of Coordinated-Actuated" traffic control system which provides the best form of traffic control that can be attained at that location. Traffic congestion is prevalent at that intersection during peak hours and it will become increasingly so as volumes increase on the Maple Valley High- way. The provision of the alternate access would exacerbate the conges- tion although widening of the Maple Valley Highway and freeway access im- provements could mitigate a portion of these impacts. The intersection of NE 3rd Street and Sunset Blvd. N. , as well as miti- gation measures at that location, is discussed in the traffic study for the primary access road. The alternate access would, at best, provide marginal benefit to future residents of the proposed development. Trip lengths would be longer, however, this may be off-set by reduced ways to gain access to the arter- ial system. It is probable that commute times for the future residents would be essentially the same with or without the alternate access, giv- en the assumption that a traffic signal would be installed at the inter- section of the primary access road and NE 3rd Street in the case where the alternate access is not to be provided. The cost to provide the alternate access roadway, in addition to the pri- mary access roadway, has been previously estimated to be in the range of 1 million, subject to the suitability of soils in the area. The cost to provide a traffic signal at the intersection of the primary access roadway and NE 3rd Street would be in the range of $50,000 to $100,000, subject to the extent of roadway improvements that may be required. Mitigating Measures a) A traffic signal, with "volume-density" timing features could be installed at the intersection of the primary access road with N.E. Third Street. b) N.E. Third Street could be widened at its intersection with the primary access road to accommodate westbound left-turning vehicles. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts None. 4- MOV 3'1ENT/CIRCULATION OF PEOPLE AND/OR GOODS Existing Conditions There is little evidence of pedestrian activity on the site, aside from the recreational use of dirt bikes. Due to the absence of sidewalks on N.E . Third Street (Cemetery Road) , pedestrian activity is discouraged alcng it. 66 Impacts It is anticipated that construction of the jogging/hiking trail will result in a substantial increase of pedestrian activity on the site. No Development Conditions would remain as described under Existing Conditions. Development to Single Family Density Impacts would be similar to those of the proposal, but to a lesser extent due to smaller population. Development to Maximum Density Impacts would be similar to those in the proposal, but to a greater extent due to a larger population. Alternative Site Access Pedestrian/vehicle conflicts could occur on this alternative access road. Mitigating Measures Improved marking of the crosswalk traversing Maple Valley Highway near the project site could reduce the potential for pedestrian/vehicle conflict. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts None. 5• TRAFFIC HAZARDS The nationally recognized "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways" provides eight warrants for determining if a need exists for providing traffic signalization at a traffic intersection. Satisfaction of one or more of these warrants is usually considered valid evidence that a signal should be installed. The warrants are: 67 1. Minimum vehicular volume 2. Interruption of continuous traffic 3. Minimum pedestrian volume 4. School crossing 5. Progressive movement 6. Accident experience 7. Systems 8. Combination of warrants The conditions that merit the most consideration when analyzing the intersection of the primary access roadway with N.E. Third Street fall within Warrant No. 2. Pedestrian activity is low in the vicinity, accident experience cannot be analyzed since the intersection is presently non-existent, and the remaining warrants do not apply in this case. Warrant No. 2 applies to operating conditions where the traffic volume on a major street is so heavy that traffic on a minor intersecting street suffers excessive delay or hazard in entering or crossing the major street. The warrant is satisfied when for each of any 8 hours of an average day, the traffic volumes on the major street exceed 900 vehicles per hour and the traffic volumes on the minor street approach exceeds 75 vehicles per hour. Tte following tabulation is derived by using the traffic volumes estimated above for the exiting traffic using the primary access roadway and the total volumes estimated to be on N.E. 3rd Street following ccmpletion of the project (see Figure 9 in Appendix C) . The tabulation slows the highest 8 hours where the conditions for Warrant No. 2 are met. 68 Predicted Volume Predicted Volume on Time on NE 3rd Street Primary Access Road 1. 8:00 - 9:00 a.m. 1,320 109 2. 7:00 - 8:00 a.m. 2,150 88 3. 9:00 - 10:00 a.m. 980 88 4. 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. 1,810 87 5. 10:00 - 11:00 p.m. 970 86 6. 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. 2,130 79 7. 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. 1,170 77 8. 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. 1,490 76 Impacts The above tabulation indicates that a signal will be warranted for the intersection of the primary access road with N.E. Third Street, even if it serves no other uses than the proposed development. If a roadway should be extended to the intersection from the north to serve areas north of N.E. Third Street, traffic using that roadway would benefit from a signal and would provide additional justification for it. A traffic signal at the intersection of the primary access road with N.E. Third Street will not be unduly disruptive if it is properly designed and operated. The specific location of the intersection is far enough from other signalized locations so that interference between signals will be minimal. N.E. Third Street may need localized widening at the intersection with the primary access road to accommodate left-turning vehicles. The incidence of westbound left-turns will be minor due to the predominance of traffic movements to and from the west. The need to accommodate eastbound left-turns will only exist if a connection to the north is provided. The final determination on the need for widening should be reached following a detailed design study for the intersection. 69 No Development Conditions would remain as they are now existing. N.E. Third Street's traffic volume would continue to increase by approximately 3.4% annually. Development to Single Family Density Impacts would be the same as those created by the proposal to a lesser de;;ree. Development to Maximum Density Impacts created by maximum development would be greater than those described as a result of the proposal. However, this alternative in itself would not be a significant factor in creating a need for im?rovement of the intersection of N.E. Third Street and Sunset Blvd. North. Alternative Site Access Impacts on the intersection of N.E. Third Street and Sunset Boulevard No. would be less than those described as a result of the proposal. However, cumulative effects of traffic entering Maple Valley Highway would increase the likelihood of congestion and the need for traffic control devices. Mitigating Measures a) A traffic signal with "volume-density" timing features would be installed at the intersection of the primary access road with N.E. Third Street. t) N.E. Third Street could be widened at its intersection with the primary access road to accommodate left-turning vehicles. Utavoidable Adverse Impacts Nc ne. 70 PUBLIC SERVICES 1. FIRE PROTECTION Existing Conditions Fire protection services to the proposed development will be provided by the Rentonn Fire Department. All calls to the Department will initially be handled from Station 12 located at N.E. 9th and Harrington in the Highlands. Services will be augmented by the main station located at Mill Avenue South and South Second Street. The stations have a full component of pumpers, ladder trucks, and aid vehicles, with' full-time personnel on duty 24 hours each day. The average response time under normal circumstances to a call from the proposed site would be 4 to 5 minutes. Renton has a Class 4 fire insurance rating from the Washington Survey and Rating Bureau. Impacts The construction of up to 425 units in a multi-family Planned Unit Development will require fire protection and emergency aid to be provided by the City of Renton Fire Department. The Department is presently sufficiently staffed to provide adequate protection to the site; however, if fire flow demands incurred from the site exceed 3,000 gallons per minute, additional equipment would be needed. It is expected, though, that the additional tax revenues generated from the proposed action will help to offset any increased fire protection costs. However, it should be noted that the incremental capital costs of installation of the water tower cannot be expected to be regained through revenue produced from development of the proposed action. The Fire Department will require a loop system via two access routes to adequately serve the project site. Blaine Road coupled with the proposed east entrance driveway abutting the eastern property line to Third Avenue will satisfy this requirement . Road improvements and water system will be required to be installed prior to issuance of any building permits. Roads shall be hard surface and capable of supporting fire apparatus loads. No Development None. 71 De'relopment to Single Family Density This City of Renton has a capability to serve the 125 dwelling units proposed by this alternative. No adverse impact would be anticipated. De'relopment to Maximum Density Thy! construction of 625 dwelling units would create an increase in fire quota demands; possibly necessitating additional equipment. Increased ta:c revenue generated from this alternative would help offset increased fire protection costs . Al:ernative Site Access Response time via the alternative access would be less the response via till proposal access road. Adequacy of fire quota protection for this al:ernative would be the same as for the proposal. Mitigating Measures a) The Fire Department should be notified in advance of any extended street blockage. b) Sprinkler (life support) systems installed in halls and entries would reduce the amount of fire flow required. c) Select building materials that would reduce combustibility. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts Increased demand for fire service. 2•POLICE PROTECTION Existing Conditions Pc lice protection services for the proposed development would be provided by the City of Renton Police Department with its station located at 200 Mill Avenue South. The present ratio of uniformed officers to population is about two officers for each 1,000 persons. This ratio is slightly below the national average of 2.3 officers per 1 ,000 persons, but is within the normal range for a city of this size. 72 The primary kind of crime found in the vicinity of the subject site is residential burglaries, occurring particularly in apartment/condominium type development. Impacts The proposed development will add up to 425 housing units to the project site which would increase the population requiring police services by 1,150 to 1,225 people. During construction, vandalism and theft of construction materials, applainces, carpets, etc. can be expected, but these incidents will decrease as the units become inhabited by residents. The Police Department maintains two patrol cars in the Highlands area and response time to the site under normal circulstances would be 2 to 2.5 minutes. According to a Department spokesman, the project in itself would not necessitate additional personnel or equipment; however, the cumulative impact of other residential and commercial development in the City would require additional personnel and equipment. (Captain Bourasa, Renton Police Department, 2-21-80). However, property tax revenues from the proposed development and local sales tax will help offset the cost of additional services. No Development Conditions would be the same as those described under Existing Conditions. Development to Single Family Density This alternative development would add up to 125 housing units and approximately 345 people to the project site. Impacts in regard to police protection would be the same as described under Impacts for the Proposal. Development to Maximum Density This alternative development would add up to 625 housing units and approximately 1,725 people to the project site. Impacts in regard to police protection would be increasesd over those impacts stated by the proposal. 73 Al:ernative Site Access Re3ponse time via the alternative access road from the police department world be less than via the proposed access road. Mitigating Measures Internal security systems and security lighting installed at appropriate strategic locations would augment police protection. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts Increased demand for police service. 3• H)SPITAL FACILITIES Existing Conditions The closest hospital serving the proposed development would be the Valley General Hospital which is located approximately 2-3/4 miles southeast of tte site. The hospital at present has 254 beds. Although the hospital presently operates at 76 percent annual capacity, it often operates at 90 tc 100 percent capacity on weekdays. Optimum use of the hospital facilities has been determined to be operation at 80 percent of capacity. Earlington Woods PUD Draft EIS, 1979). Tte hospital has a current facility expansion plan which is scheduled for ccnstruction beginning in 1980 and operation in 1982. The new facilities wculd add a day surgery unit and pediatric beds. These new facilities would increase the beds available for acute care from the present 254 beds to over 300 beds in addition to providing a variety of new services. The hospital staff, which is adequate now, will be increased as needed. Final plans for this expansion are presently in review and may change depending on approvals by funding agencies. (Mike Cvitkovich, Projects Coordinator, Valley General Hospital, February 20, 1980) . In pactsis The Puget Sound Comprehensive Health Planning Council has determined a hospital use rate of 692 patient days per year for every 1,000 people in the southeast planning area. The proposed action is expected to house 74 from 1,150 to 1,225 people and therefore will increase hospital use by an estimated 795-847 patient days on all hospitals in the Seattle area. The planning council has estimated that about 46 percent of this demand on hospital services would be assumed by the Valley General Hospital with the balance of the impact being diffused to other hospitals in the area. The impact on the Valley General Hospital would therefore be 365-390 patient days (46 percent of 795 and 847) at full capacity of hospital facilities. No Development None. Development to Single Family Density This alternative would increase hospital usage by an estimated 238 patient days on all hospitals in the Seattle-Renton area. An estimated 46% of this demand on hospital services would be assumed by the Valley General Hospital with the remainder of the impact being assumed by other hospitals in the area. The impact on the Valley General Hospital would be approximately 109 patient days, less than 1/3 of that created by the proposal. Development to Maximum Density This alternative would increase hospital usage by an estimated 1 ,193 days on all hospitals in the Seattle-Renton area. An estimated 46% of this demand on hospital services would be assumed by the Valley General Hospital, with the remainder of the impact being diffused to other hospitals in the area. The impact on Valley General Hospital would be approximately 548 patient days, approximately 30% greater than the proposal. Alternative Site Access Impacts would be the same as described in the proposal. Mitigating Measures None. 75 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts Slight increase in demand for hospital services. 4• Si:H00L FACILITIES Existing Conditions Reaton School District #403 serves the area of the proposed development. Edicational facilities currently serving the site are Hazen High School 1101 Hoquiam Northeast) , McKnight Middle School (2600 N.E. 12th) and the Highlands Elementary School (2727 N.E. 9th) . Enrollment characteristics for these schools is illustrated in Table 7 below: Table 7 Projected School Enrollment and Capacity Capacity Projection for School Enrollment October 1980 4 Highland Elementary 675 445 McKnight Middle 1,107 743 Hazen High 1,404 1,385 Herb Elliott, Data Services, Renton School District, 8/22/80) . According to Mr. Elliott, the school system has been experiencing a slight decline in school enrollment. In pacts Ile methodology used to calculate the probable number of school-aged children likely to reside on the site was derived from population information in the Puget Sound Council of Governments Trends and Policies Comparison Report, published September 19, 1979. The percentage of the population in AAM Districts 3840 and 3860 between the ages of 5 and 17 years is' approximately 22%. When this figure is multiplied by the total projected population for the site (1,173) , the result is 258 school aged children that may seek services of the Renton School District. It should be noted that this estimate is based upon population statistics which do 76 7 am FIRE. TA ION Ir W g! I~ i 7 HIGH . • - =LEMe d c‘---'- a W RENTONZ VOC TECH4.INSTITUTE11N,E. 4TH ST.

THORPE & ASSOCIATES 77 no : differentiate between type of dwelling unit. It is, therefore, likely that given the condominium and apartment nature of the proposal, this actual number of school aged children to be generated on the site wi:.l be much lower than if the development consisted of 425 single family hones. Th,i school system can accommodate this increased demand generated by the proposal. No Development Conditions would remain as described under Existing Conditions. Development to Single Family Density Generally, the percentage of school age children to total population is 220. Therefore, it is estimated that approximately 76 school age children would reside in this alternative PUD. School facilities could accommodate this number of children. Development to Maximum Density The expected maximum number of school age children that would reside in this alternative PUD would be approximately 380. However, much of the development is condominium development which would generate fewer school age children per dwelling unit than single family homes; thus, this figure of 380 is a very high estimate. Alternative Site Access Iapacts would be the same as described as a result of the proposal. 78 Mitigating Measures None. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts None. 5. LIBRARY FACILITIES Existing Conditions The City of Renton has two libraries that may be potentially impacted by the increase in residents on the project site. The main branch, located at 100 Mill Avenue South and the Highlands branch, located at 2902 N.E. 12th, contain a combined total 120,797 volumes. The libraries are extensively used by the community, particularly after school hours and on weekends. Impacts It is anticipated that future residents of the proposed Planned Unit Development would use both of these libraries; however, these facilities will be able to adequately service this increased demand. The increase in patronage will be relatively small and will not necessitate expansion of service or personnel at the libraries. No Development None. Development to Single Family Density Library service and personnel would not be adversely impacted by this alternative. Development to Maximum Density The increase in patronage would not necessitate expansion of service or personnel at the library. Alternative Site Access None. 79 Mitigating Measures None. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts Nona. 6. ARK AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES Existing Conditions There is no public recreational activity on the site at present, except for evidence of dirt bikes. The facilities closest to the project site are Cedar River Park, Liberty Park and Windsor Hill:. Park. Cedar River park, about one mile from the site at Maple Valley Highway and Houser Way, provides areas for picnicking and fishing, in addition to the Carco Theatre and a multi-use field. Liberty Park, located at Bronson Way N.E. and House Way N.E. , which is approximately lea miles from the site, features lighted tennis courts, ball fields , multi-use fields , and asphalt game areas. Also available are picnicking facilities, play equipment, a bathhouse and swimming and fishing. Windsor Hills Park, about 2.5 miles from the site, is located at the 400 blo.k on Windsor Way N.E. It offers a small multi-use field with back- stop, play equipment, and a picnic area with tables and benches. In addition, other recreational opportunities include playgrounds associated with all public schools, the nearest of which is Highlands Elementary, at 2727 N.E. 9th Street. It is anticipated that these parks will be access- ibla primarily via automobile. Acquisition Heather Downs Neighborhood Park (10 to 12 acres) is the highest priority acquisition on the City's Six-Year CIP for parks. It is located just east of the site. Impacts There will be increased usage of existing park and recreational facilities due to the influx of about 1,163-1,173 residents. The increased demand can be expected to be distributed among several park facilities, rather than concentrated at any one facility. However, some of the parks are currently heavily impacted by existing population. 80 In 1978 the Renton City Council adopted the Comprehensive Park and Recrea- tion Plan which set forth standards related to recreational space and park requirements. That document established a neighborhood park standard of ten acres per one thousand population. This requirement could be met in numerous ways combining on-site and off-site recreational land and facil- ities. However, it is recommended that approximately half of the require- ment be met on-site with the remaining five plus acres per thousand popu- lation provided off-site in conjunction with the City's park system. No Development Conditions would remain as described under Existing Conditions. Development to Single Family Density Impacts by this alternative would be similar to those of the proposal; However, as a result of fewer residents, there would be less usage of nearby parks. Development to Maximum Density Impacts on nearby parks would be slightly greater than described in the proposal. It would be unlikely additional recreational areas would be provided due to utilization of buildable areas by buildings. Alternative Site Access Impacts would be the same described under the proposed development. Mitigating Measures a) A jogging trail will be constructed along the perimeter of the buildable portion of the site. b) A variety of on-site recreational facilities, such as swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, tot lots, and open playground areas could be provided, to be located by the individual builders. c) A walking trail could be constructed through the greenbelt to provide pedestrian access to Cedara River Park via the sidewalks along Maple Valley Highway. d) A fee could be donated to the Capital Improvement Program for purchase and development of property to accommodate the required recreational space. 81 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts None. 7 nIINTENANCE Existing Conditions The City of Renton presently maintains all public roads in the vicinity of the site. Impacts The City of Renton Public Works Department will maintain water and sewer lines as well as roadway and drainage facilities. During construction, street sweeping and ditch cleaning will be undertaken by the developer. Little maintenance will be required during the first few years following completion of the PUD. However, normal maintenance operations would be required after this period. The City would undertake normal maintenance operations such as street sweeping pavement upkeep, catch basin and ditch cleaning, vegetation spraying and cutting, following construction. Mitigating Measures a) Wash the wheels of exiting vehicles during construction to minimize mud deposition on adjacent streets. t) Cover the trucks carrying excavation loads with canvas or tarp. c) Developer could provide regular street cleaning. E JERGY Existing Conditions Presently there is no energy consumption on the site. In pacts Daring construction, energy will be committed in the form of equipment operation, motor fuels and manufactured materials. Energy consumed ring this period will be typical of standard residential construction. Hcwever, because of the multiple family density on portions of the site, erergy expenditure for construction per dwelling unit would be less than wculd be expended for a single family development. 82 The precise type of energy source to be utilized in the ERADCO P.U.D. has yet to be selected. However, according to 1979 residential consumption data for all- electric apartments provided by Seattle City Light, an average of 950 kilowatt hours (kwh) per month or 11,400 kwh annually were consumed. At this rate, the 425 units of the proposal would consume about 403,750 kwh monthly or 4,845,000 kwh annually. It is possible that the dwelling units of the proposed development will be heated by natural gas. According to figures provided by Bill Fry of the Technical Services Division of Washington Natural Gas, energy consumption for heating and hot water purposes in multi-family residential uses ranges from .283 to .5 therms per square foot per year. One therm = 100,000 Btu's.) Since the precise square footages of the proposed dwelling units will be determined by individual builders, an approximate average of 2,000 square feet per dwelling unit was used in calculating energy consumption of natural gas at the site. Based on these figures, it is estimated that annual natural gas consumption on the site during occupancy will range from 240,000 to 425,000 therms. It should be noted that improved building methods, more stringent energy codes, and increased awareness in energy conservation will result in less energy consumption than the above estimate. Energy expenditure in terms of transportation related to work, shopping and social purposes will create a long-term energy commitment. Mitigating Measures a) Insulated walls, floors, roof, and glass could be used through the structures. b) Major living areas of the units (living rooms, bedrooms) could be oriented toward the southern exposure of the building. c) An energy analysis of building design elements could be undertaken to assess the feasibility of reducing long-term demand, e.g. passive solar energy systems. Unavoidable Adverse Environmental Impacts Increased energy demand on the site in both the short- and long-terms. 83 UTILITIES 1• NATURAL GAS Existing Conditions Natural gas could be supplied to the project site by the Washington Natural Gas Company. Presently, an 8-inch high pressure supply line is located in the N.E. Third Street right-of-way and a 4-inch high pressure main exists at the bottom of the bluff near the west corner of the site. Iapacts It is yet to be determined whether the residential units planned for construction on the project site will utilize natural gas supplies as a source of energy. However, to serve the site, the Washington Natural Gas Conpany would review the plat or site plan provided by the project engineer to calculate the appropriate location and economics of gas pipe installation. It is anticipated that the gas main would access the site via the entrance driveway to be constructed along the eastern site boundary. (Bob Vaughan, Washington Natural Gas Company, 2/21/80) . No Development None. Development to Single Family Density Conditions would be the same as described for the proposal. Development to Maximum Density Conditions would be the same as described for the proposal. Alternative Site Access Conditions would be the same as described for the proposal. Mitigating Measures a) Insulated walls, floors, roof and glass could be used throughout the structures . b) Major living areas of the units (living rooms, bedrooms) could be oriented toward the southern exposure of the building. 84 c) An energy analysis of building design elements could be undertaken to assess the feasibility of reducing long-term demand, e.g. , passive solar energy systems. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts Increased demand for natural gas. 2. ELECTR I C I TY Existing Conditions The site would be served from the existing three phase electric power available along N.E. Third Street from Puget Sound Power and Light Company (PP & L) . Impacts A representative of the above company indicated that any additional load on the existing system would substantially impact the ability of the company to supply power. It was determined, however, that a looped underground service would be provided for the site along Blaine Avenue N.E. Water and space heating is no longer available. (Frank McDermand, Marketing Division, Puget Sound Power and Light Company, 2/21/80) . No Development None. Development to Single Family Density Impacts would be less than those created by the proposed project; however, any additional load on the existing system would adversely impact the ability of PP&L to supply power. Development to Maximum Density The addition of 200 dwelling units above what is proposed would put additional strains on the PP&L Company. Alternative Site Access Impacts would be the same as those described as a result of the proposal. 85 Mitigating Measures Noae. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts In:reased demand for electrical energy. 3• TELEPHONE Existing Conditions Telephone service to the project site would be provided by Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone Company. Main feeder routes are located in Maple Valley Highway and Bronson Way. Impacts The proposed development would consist of up to 425 housing units. Ac:ording to a spokesman from the PNB Telephone Company, two lines would be provided for each unit resulting in the need for the installation of either 900 or 1,000 pair cable unit. (Frank Forrest, Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone Company, Engineering Division, 2/21/80) . No Development No ie. Deielopment to Single Family Density Tha alternative development would require approximately 250 telephone li ies. Deielopment to Maximum Density In order to serve 625 housing units, approximately 1 ,250 telephone lines world be required. Alternative Site Access Impacts would be the same as those described as a result of the proposal. Mitigating Measures a) Installation of telephone lines should be coordinated with installation of electrical lines. 86 b) All utility services should be installed underground. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts None. 4. WATER Existing Conditions The proposed Planned Unit Development lies within the jurisdiction of the City of Renton Public Works Department. An existing 16" water main serving the area of the site is located in the N.E. Third Avenue right-of-way which has adequate pressure to service the site. Impacts The subject property would require a loop system installed in the Blaine Road and the entrance driveway rights-of-way. To determine the adequate pipe size, a fire flow analysis will be conducted. No new water supply sources will be required. (Ron Olson, Water Utility Engineer, Renton Water Department, 1/21/80) . No Development None. Development to Single Family Density Impacts would be the same as those described under the proposal. Develoment to Maximum Density A loop water system located in the ,Blaine Road and entrance driveway rights-of-way would be installed. A fireflow analysis would be required in order to determine the desired pipe size. It is not expected that additional water supply sources would be required. Alternative Site Access Impacts would be the same as those described for the proposal. 87 Mitigating Measures None. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts In:reased demand on water supply. 5. EWER Existing Conditions Sewer service for the project site is under the jurisdiction of the City of Renton Public Works Department. The nearest residential development to the site, the Monterey Terrace subdivision, is served by an 8-inch pi )e. There is also a 42-inch Metro sewer trunk located in the SR-169 M,iple Valley Highway) . Im.)acis A representative of the Renton Sewer Utility has indicated that the 8-:_nch pipe serving the Monterey Terrace neighborhood is inadequate for the proposed Planned Unit Development. Therefore, it will be necessary to tie directly into the Metro sewer trunk installing an 8-inch line down the bluff along the southwest side of the site and across Maple Valley HiF;hway (SR-169) . (Dick Houghton, Renton Sewer Utility, 1/21/80) . Approval of the sewer tie-in must initially be secured from the Renton Boisrd of Public Works by submitting a technical package consisting of a vicinity map, narrative description of the proposed action, construction drawings and a certification form. This package is then forwarded to the appropriate land-use agency coordinator for verification of consistency wi :h local land-use plans . (Bob Hirsch, Metro Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle, Local Land-Use Agency Coordinator, 1/23/80) . No Development Nolte. De`elopment to Single Family Density Impacts created by this alternative would be approximately 1/3 of those impacts created by the proposal. 88 Development to Maximum Density The system would have to be tied directly to the Metro system sewer terminal along Maple Valley Highway SR-169. A line would have to be placed under the bluff along the southwest side of the site and along the Maple Valley Highway. Alternative Site Access Impacts would be similar to those described in the proposal. Mitigating Measures None. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts Increased sewage flow. Storm Drainage Refer to the discussion under Water, p. 38 6• SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL Existing Conditions Solid waste collection for residents of the proposed development would be conducted by the General Disposal Company, which will rent dumpsters ranging in size from one- to forty-yards. (A one-yard container would hold the equivalent of seven typical garbage cans . ) Rental and collection rates vary according to the size of container; for example, a two-yard conntainer would rent for $6.75/month and each pick-up would cost $9.94. The solid waste is then transported to the Renton Transfer Station on N.E. 4th Street and weighed. Ultimate disposal occurs at the Newcastle Landfill. Impacts The proposed action would result in increased demand for solid waste collection, which can be adequately absorbed by General Disposal company. 89 Nc Development Ncne. Development to Single Family Density Tlis alternative would increase demands for solid waste collection to a lesser degree than what would be demanded as a result of the proposal. General Disposal Company would adequately provide the service and the New- castle landfill has the capacity to absorb the increased demand. Development to Maximum Density This alternative would increase demands for collection over the proposal by approximately 1/3. However, service and the disposal site could easily accommodate the increase in demand. Alternative Site Access Impacts would be the same as those described for the proposal. Mitigating Measures No ie. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts No ie. HUhAN HEALTH Existing Conditions nu! human response to noise has been documented by the Environmental Protection Agency. Continuous noise at high decibels is not only irritating, but can cause damage to the hearing mechanism and otherwise im )air both physical and mental health. Prolonged noise exceeding 80 decibels (dBA) can result in hearing loss. Noise in excess of 55 dBA can interfere with speech communication, and that above 35 dBA can disrupt sleep. Other physical effects from continuous, excessively loud noise le""els are increases in blood pressure, and alterations in heart rate, wh:.ch are usually temporary, but may become chronic. It is improbable that environmental noise itself causes mental illness; however, the 90 continual exposure to noise of a person already suffering in a depressed state may promote stress in that person, which does aggravate the condition of mental illness. Impacts The residents of the Monterey Terrace subdivision to the northwest of the subject site would be the most sensitive receptors of the construction noise generated from project development. Depending on the position of the noise source in relation to those homes , noise levels would approximate those shown on Table 4 , p. 46 of this document. The construction of the initial phase in the R-1 portion of the site would impact that neighborhood to a greater degree than the remaining phases of construction. It is anticipated, however, that noise levels generated from construction would be attenuates to some degree by distance, even during the initial phase of construction. Therefore, although construction noise could be a source of annoyance and irritation to area residents, it is not expected to cause significant mental or physical damage to them. No Development None. Development to Single Family Density Construction of the northwesterly portion of the site would impact that neighborhood to a greater degree than any other phase of the construction. The degree of annoyance and irritation due to noise would decrease with distance. Impact would be less than those created by the proposal. Development to Maximum Density The degree of annoyance and irritation due to noise would be greater than those created by the proposal during construction; however, it is not expected to cause significant mental or physical damage to area residents. 91 A] ternative Site Access Inpacts would be similar to those of the proposal. Long-term noise inpacts would be increased due to increased engine of automobiles ascending the hill. Mitigating Measures Refer to the Mitigating Measures under "Noise," pp. 103-104. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts Short-term annoyance and irritation to area residents during construction. AESTHETICS Existing Conditions The site is currently open space. The site is visible from the gravel extraction operation to the east, and the single family residences in the Monterey Terrace subdivision. There is natural vegetation covering most of the site. The surrounding area is a combination of single family hones and a cemetery to the north, and industrial uses to the east, south ani west. Impacts The appearance of the site will be transformed from open space to multi-family residential structures, parking areas, and open space. The le,el of activity on the site will increase and the development will be visible from the single family residences abutting the site to the northwest, from the cemetery to the north, and from the gravel extraction facility to the east. The development will not result in the blockage of any views. Building exteriors will be mostly natural wood and stucco. Landscaping will be introduced in the parking areas and adjacent to the buildings to serve as buffers and to soften the visual impact of the developed areas. Existing vegetation in the greenbelt will remain intact. 92 No Development Conditions would remain as described under Existing Conditions. Development to Single Family Density The appearance of the site would be transformed from open space to single family residential structure. Develo.ment to Maximum Densit The site would be changed from open space to multiple family residential structures, parking areas and open space. A level of activity would be greater than that of the proposal. Much of the open space retained in the proposed plan would be replaced by parking and residential structures in this alternative. Alternative Site Access This alternative would partially deface a greenbelt. Other impacts would be similar to those of the proposed development. Mitigating Measures a) A 25-foot wide setback and landscaped buffer area will separate the proposal site and the adjacent residential subdivision to the northwest. b) Building units in that area could be built below the foundation levels of houses and be limited to 2-stories in height. c) The eastern border of the site will be lined with a landscaped road to act as a buffer for the industrial activity to the east of the subject property. 93 d) The greenbelt, ranging in width from 150 feet to 400 feet, located along the southerly border of the site, will remain intact. Ui;avoidable Adverse Impacts VJsual appearance of the site will be altered. Re creation REfer to discussion on Parks and Recreation, p.92 . AR:HAEOLOGY/HISTORY (See Appendix D) Ttere are no known historical sites or archaeological resources that would require physical preservation in the immediate area of the project site, according to the Washington State Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. Due to the previous extraction use on the site, it is unlikely that such resources exist there. No Development Conditions would remain as described under Existing Conditions. Development to Single Family Density Op?n space in the form of yard set-backs would provide the greatest am)unt of passive open space than any of the alternatives. Development to Maximum Density Th.1 trail system will circumvent the development as described under the pr)posal. There would be fewer passive recreational areas as a result ofnore intense development in the form of residential structures and pa-king areas. Al:ernative Site Access Impacts would remain the same as described under the proposed development. Mi :igating Measures If any significant artifacts are unearthed during construction activities, immediate action should be taken to evaluate their significance with the appropriate authorities. 94 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts None. ECONOMICS Existing Conditions Impacts The project would create construction employment for an undefined Period. Additional income will be generated for businesses in the Renton area. Property taxes would increase as a result of the development. However, the cost to service the development will partially negate these increases in revenues. Mitigating Measures None. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts None. 95 IV. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOCAL SHORT-TERM USES OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENT OF LONG-TERM PRODUCTIVITY Implemmtation of the proposed ERADCO Planned Unit Development would provide a residential neighborhood of approximately 425 families on 25 acres, while preserving 16.5 acres of greenbelt open space. Project approval would commit the site to residential use for at least 50 years, although the structures and foundations would endure for a considerably longer period of time. Development of the project would represent a tradeoff between medium density residential use and continuation of open space and wildlife habitat uses. Project development would result in economic benefits to private investors, would :ncrease the housing inventory and increase the tax base of the City. A local housing shortage would partially be alleviated. The Planned Unit Development would be developed adjacent to an existing residential area. These benefits must be weighed against the loss of an open space and wildlife habitat area. Benefits of deterring development of the site would include maintenance of prevailing trends of local traffic volumes, noise, light, and glare levels, air p )llution levels , retention of existing vegetation and soils characteristics and preservation of habitat areas. Delaying implementation of the proposal until some future time would be more costly as a result of inflation and the potential scarcity and increasing costs cf building materials. Demand for housing stock would not immediately be met on the site. Development in other areas less suitable for residential use might result . Delaying project development would not necessarily eliminate or ameliorate the level of environmental impacts associated with the project. Development of the site would preclude the exercise of future options for the site. These include preservation for open space and wildlife refuge and a modified proposal that would present fewer environmental impacts. There are no known recharge areas or unique ecosystems on the site. The only known mineral resource, gravel, has been completely mined from the site. 96 V. IRREVERSIBLE AND IRRETRIEVABLE COMMITMENT OF RESOURCES Implementation of the proposed action would result in the irreversible and irre rievable loss of an open space and wildlife habitat area on the 25 acre buil able portion of the site. The majority of the natural vegetation on this leve acreage of the site would be removed, except for substantial stands of trees. There are no known mineral resources, unique ecosystems or aquifer recharge areas which would be lost as a result of development of the site for the proposed use. Cons ruction and maintenance of the proposed residential PUD would require the irre rievable commitment of natural resources, energy, capital and manpower. Foss 1 fuels and electrical energy would be consumed for transportation, lighting and heating during construction, occupation and maintenance of the deve opment. Material commitments would generally include water, wood and metal products, sand and gravel, asphalt and cement. Long-term commitment of public water supply, sanitary sewer capacity, solid waste disposal services, electrical energy, communication services and police and fire protection services would be required to maintain the development. All of these commitments would be required for residential growth wherever it may occur in the Renton area. 97 VI. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSAL AND THEIR RELATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS A. No Development Description W:.th the no action alternative, the existing ecosystems on the site would not be disturbed, nor would an increase in demand for services , utilities, or energy resources occur on the site. In light of the residential development trends with pressure for development within the city, no action on this site would most likely transfer the impacts of this development type to another site. The environmental impacts, costs, and benefits and resources required to develop another site may be more or less than those of the proposal site, depending on available services, existing ecosystems and location of the new site. The ERADCO PUD site may generate fewer impacts than other sites in that it does not require utility extensions , or service expansions, does not have valuable water resources or vegetation, and is ir, an area already marked by multiple family units. Feasibility The objectives of the proponent would not be met by this alternative. B. Development to Single Family Density Description Development of the project site to single family density would yield a total of 125 housing units and approximately 345 residents occupying the total development. It is assumed that the greenbelt portion of the site world remain intact and that additional open space would remain on the buildable portion of the site due to decreased acreage devoted to parking ar?as and building foundations . Im)acts Ov!rall, implementation of the single family density alternative would im)act all elements of both the physical and human environments to a le ;ser degree than the proposed action. 98 Feasibility Construction of a lower density, single family alternative would not meet the stated objectives of the proponent of providing a mix of single-family and multi-family residential uses. In addition, the sale price of the units would increase substantially if a lower density alternative were im- plemented, thus diminishing the opportunity to provide ownership housing for middle income households. C. Development to Maximum Density Description Development of the project site to the maximum density permitted by the zoning code would yield a total of 625 housing units and approximately 1,725 residents occupying structures of up to 6 stories in height. Impacts Overall, implementation of this alternative would impact both the phys- ical and human environments to a greater degree than that of the proposed action. Feasibility The objective of the proponent to provide a low density, residential development with open space and privacy would not be met by this proposal. D. Alternative Site Access (Please refer to Figure 15) Description In addition to the primary access road to NE 3rd Street, this option would entail constructing a second roadway from Maple Valley Highway through the greenbelt up to the level portion of the site. This road bed would consist of two 10 foot wide lanes with 4 foot wide shoulders on each side. The maximum profile slope of the 2,200 linear foot long roadway would be 10 percent with a maximum of 7.5 percent on the sharp curves. The cost was estimated to be about one million dollars. The feas- ibility of this alternative is predicated upon the assumption that the existing soils on the greenbelt bluff would be suitable for roadway support. 99 Inpacts With this proposal, impacts on the geologic, topographic, hydrologic and vegetative characteristics of the buildable portion of the site would remain the same. However, these same elements in relation to the greenbelt would be significantly altered with a concomitant degradation to the greenbelt. Elements of the human environment would remain largely the same as with the proposed action, however, traffic patterns would markedly differ. (Refer to pp. C-15 through 17 of Appendix C. ) Feasibility Tie prohibitive cost of this alternative, coupled with the destruction of the greenbelt render this option economically and environmentally urviable according to the proponent. 100 if/„,- 0,, i,i0 11 ,40,, , u , Aii I 1,it Loy 1 L ia oplii- ra II I kl s, .. . . mop on ill,‘idnyri),), w i , 7_7,-_..-.,ii1 ....... 4041, i3,, NM y EN ------... / a \+\Y1 II r 1I 1 JO Ns .

THORPE & ASSOCIATES 101 VII. MITIGATING MEASURES Those mitigating measures presently scheduled to be implemented by the developer are indicated with an asterisk. The Physical Environment Geology and Soils The City's requirements on grading and excavation will be followed. All the recommendations of the soils engineer will be followed. Tc pography Nc ne. Unique Physical Features The denuded areas should be reseeded immediately upon completion and a jute net should be applied over the cleared area until vegetation is re-established. A 25-foot setback from the top of the bluff should be maintained. Erosion A permanent surface water management system consisting of a combination of underground collection and surface retention basins will be installed tc connect with the storm drainage ditches adjacent to Maple Valley Highway. An energy dissipator at the juncture of the ditch will moderate the velocity of the water flow down the hill. The denuded areas resulting from walking and jogging trails construction should be reseeded immediately and a jute net should be applied over the cleared areas until the vegetation is re-established. Air Utilize low-emission construction equipment whenever feasible. Measures to control construction dust, such as watering and reseeding of cleared areas, cleaning, and sweeping of streets will be implemented. 102 Water Utilize temporary detention ponds during construction phases to collect silt. Careful construction practices will prevent litter, debris, or other pollutants from entering drainage. Collect stormwater runoff in a storm sewer system. Utilize catch basins and screens to collect litter and debris. Utilize oil/water separators to retain gas, oil, and grease for removal from stormwater. Settling basins would remove solids from runoff. Provide adequate street and parking area cleaning and maintenance of the stormwater system. Groundwater Movement, Quality and Quantity None. Flora Present plans call for retention of as many of the existing trees as possible through sensitive site planning. Retain vegetation outside of road improvements until buildings are constructed, as feasible. Minor modifications of building siting will occur based on tree inventories provided by field surveys. No trees will be removed from the greenbelt area. Fauna Retain as much natural vegetation as possible. Utilize landscaping materials that provide food sources for birds and small animals. Noise Construction equipment that will not exceed the State of Washington maximum environmental noise standards will be employed and operated accordingly. Noisy operations should be scheduled so that they are not concurrent. 103 The hours of operation of construction equipment will be limited. Truck arrivals should be controlled to reduce vehicle congestion. Construction equipment should be placed as far from property boundaries al; possible. Roadway improvements should be timed to alleviate congestion and reduce volumes on existing streets. S4te "Vehicular Transportation Generated - Mitigating Measures" on pp. 103-4. L: ght and Glare Perimeter landscaping, fencing, and berming, especially around parking areas and road entrances will reduce light spillage. Parking area lighting could be limited so that no direct light spills off-site. Land Use Sixteen acres of the site will be preserved as a greenbelt and a landscaped buffer will separate the R-1 portion of the site from the existing residential subdivision to the north. Natural Resources None. Tha Human Environment Population Development of the site to a lower density would result in a decrease in residential population on the site. Ho ising None.. Transportation/circulation Inquire at Metro as to the feasibility of and collaborate with them in the planning of erecting a bus shelter in the site vicinity to encourage trn.nsit ridership. 104 A traffic signal with "volume-density" timing features could be installed at the intersection of the primary access road with N.E. Third Street. N.E. Third Street could be widened at its intersection with the primary access road to accommodate westbound left-turning vehicles. Improved marking of the crosswalk traversing Maple Valley Highway near the project site could reduce the potential for pedestrian/vehicle conflicts. Public Services The Fire Department will be notified in advance of any extended street blockage. Sprinkler (life support) systems installed in buildings would reduce the amount of fire flow required. Select building materials that would reduce combustability. Police Internal security systems and security lighting installed at appropriate strategic locations would augment police protection. Schools None. Parks and Other Recreational Facilities A jogging trail will be constructed along the perimeter of the buildable portion of the site. A variety of on-site recreational facilities, such as swimming pool, tennis and baseketball courts, tot lots, and open playground areas could be provided, to be located by the individual builders. 105 A walking trail could be constructed through the greenbelt to provide pedestrian access to Cedar River Park via the sidewalks along Maple Villey Highway. A fee could be donated to the Capital Improvements Program for purchase of property to accommodate the required recreational space. Mi.intenance Wish the wheels of exiting vehicles during construction to minimize mud dEposition on adjacent streets . Ccver the trucks carrying excavation loads with canvas or tarp. Developer could provide regular street cleaning. Hcspital Facilities Ncne. Library Facilities Ncne. Energy Utilize insulation in walls, floors, roof and install insulated glass. Major living areas of units (living rooms, bedrooms) could be oriented toward the southern exposure of the building, when feasible. An energy analysis of building design elements could be undertaken to assess feasibility of reducing long-term demand, e.g. passive solar energy systems. Utilities A permanent surface water management system consisting of a combination of underground collection and surface retention basins will be installed to connect with the storm drainage ditches adjacent to Maple Valley 106 Highway. An energy dissipator at the juncture of the ditch will moderate the velocity of water flow down the hill. Human Health Please refer to mitigations for construction "Noise," pp. 102-103. Aesthetics A minimum 25-foot wide setback and landscaped buffer area will separate the proposed site and the adjacent residential neighborhood to the northwest. Building units in that area will be below the foundation levels of houses and can be limited to 2 stories in height (i.e. , townhouses) . The eastern border of the site will be lined with a landscaped road to act as a buffer for the quarry activity to the east of the subject property. The greenbelt, ranging in width from 150 feet to 400 feet, located along the southerly border of the site, will remain intact. Archaeological/Historical If any significant artifacts are unearthed during construction activities, immediate action should be taken to evaluate their significance with the appropriate authorities. 107 VIII. IMPACTS DETERMINED NOT TO BE ADVERSE Tie City of Renton's tax base will be increased. Tte demand for housing in the area will be eased. A residential land use in accordance with the City's goals and policies it the Comprehensive Plan will be established. Increased employment opportunities during the construction period will result.

Easter, President Environmental Research & Development Corporation Sea-Tac Office Building 18000 Pacific Highway South Seattle, WA 98188 Re: Monterey Terrace Property Dear Mr. Easter: Contained herein are my preliminary findings and recommendations related to the soil and subsurface conditions on your 25 acre Monterey Terrace site. The roughly triangular parcel lies immediately south of the Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Renton. Roughly half of the total area is cleared and relative- ly flat; it was formerly a borrow pit. The remaining area consists of steep, vooded hillside which drops some 250 vertical feet from the aforementioned flat area down to PSH 169 (the Maple Valley Highway) and the Green River Valley floor. A topographic map taken from two separate maps prepared by others is shown on page 6 ; it shows approximate property lines. Since there are essentially no features on either original map, internal to the 25 acres, which could be precisely located on the ground, the accuracy of the composite map is limited accordingly. Development plans are somewhat vague at this point; however, you envision constructing multiple family residential across the flat upland area and leaving the steep slopes unaltered. You are now at the stage of planning znd design, where soil and related subsurface information is needed for design Furposes and for inclusion in an environmental impact statement. You, others en your staff, and Mr. Thorpe of R.W. Thorpe & Associates have summarized your current informational needs. They are: 1 ) An analysis of existing technical data of the areas and of existing site conditions including soil and groundwater. 2) An inspection of the soil exposures and surface features of the property and immediate adjacent areas. This is to include exami- nation of conditions in widely scattered, backhoe-dug test pits. 3) An analysis of site constraints and limitations, especially as related to slope stability and building setback distances along the top of the steep embankment. Mr. Patrick T. Easter Page 2 March 13, 1980 4) General remarks on the possible construciton of utilities down the steep embankment. 5) Preparation of a written report which would be suitable for inclusion in or submission as a supporting document with the E.I.S. 6) Comments and recommendations on siting of buildings, grading require- ments , utility and roadway construction , and preliminary stormwater treatment including the limited use of drywells. With your letter of 21 February 1980, you authorized me to apply my technical efforts to satisfy the above needs. My findings , contained herein,are not intended to be wholely adequate for design and construction purposes. Many of the buildings and other improvements will , necessarily, be poorly repre- sented by randomly scattered test holes. What, if any, additional exploratory work may be in order will depend partially on the amount of construction inspection which is scheduled during earth-work; inspections of opened exca- vations and of fills in progress can, to some degree, verify continuity of condition between test pits and thereby be substituted for additional test holes. Subsurface Conditions t Two basic geologic units are of relevance to any developmental plans. First, soils to a probable depth of several tens of feet across most of the upland area consists of fine to medium grained sand with local coarser fractions including some gravel . This unit is of recessional glacial origin. Second, stratigraphically below the sand and exposed at various points along the lower slope of the embankment,is a formation of very dense pre-glacial strata including glacial till , and variable silt-sand-gravel mixtures. Although the formation represents widely different soil types , the USGS in mapping the area found it impossible or impractical to map out the lesser units. This is because of the limited mumber of exposures and the absence of credible, deep boring information. As was determined in the course of this investigation, the lower unit is highly competent, stable and of little relevence to your project. Across most of the southwest, facing the embankment, contact between the two units is roughly between elevation 150 and 200; the contact is probably a warped surface which would make extrapolation of its location inaccurate over great distances. 0 Shallow conditions were explored by digging 12 exploratory back-hoe excavated test pits at locations which are shown on the site map. The pits were dug to depths as great as 13 feet and each was back filled after close examination of conditions there. A summary of soil conditions observed in the test pits is presented on pages 7 to 8 . Except for the lower reaches of pits 8 and 11 which terminated in very dense glacial till or hard-pan, only the sand formation and a few thin and relatively insignificant fills were excavated in the test holes. The only groundwater noted in any of the test pits was internal to the glacial till of number 11 ; that water is believed to represent a very localized B-2 Mr. Patrick T. Easter Page 3 March 13, 1980 and possibly intermittent condition which would in no way affect your project. Scattered small, and possibly intermittent,springs were noted either along the contact between the two soil formations or internal to the lower formation along the embankment. It does not appear that these represent major aquifers in the areas where they were observed. Since the contact at the base of the sand formation represents an impervious surface and, as mentioned earlier, that surface is not level , it is possible that at some random locations , such as the test pit 8 and 11 , there is no water table above the contact whereas at other locations, one may exist. Conclusion and Recommendations Overall subsurface conditions are almost ideally suited for development as it is now proposed. The steep embankment is considered stable in its present configuration; no major fills were encountered; the on-site materials are very well suited for utility back fill , utility hedding, and as borrow for compaction; and the native soils have excellent drainage characteristics and good bearing strength. Site Grading - Essentially the only grading that will be required will be that which is designed for architectural reasons. In the event that old fills are encountered, these should be removed or replaced from all areas which are to support major improvements. Except for a few scattered mounds of obvious fill , it does not appear that past site utilization will impose serious re- strictive or grading requirements on the current project. Where structural fills are placed beneath building or roadway area, the placement and compaction should be done under engineer inspection in order to ensure that the degree of compaction is sufficient for the intended purpose. As is usual good design practice, fills beneath buildings and immediate peripheral areas should be compacted in six-inch maximum lifts to at least 95% of maximum density as measured by the Modified or five layer Proctor method. With the available sandy soil and under proper moisture conditions , this should be relatively easy to achieve with a vibrating flat roller. Ninety per cent compaction by the same standard would be adequate for paved areas and areas of incidental improvements. Associated with site grading are several subjects of particular relevance to the E.I.S. These include dusting and erosion and to a lesser extent, noise and nudding. So long as no large area is bared on the steep slopes, the grading related effects of development should be no more than slight. For many years, the site was the center of a mining operation; the effects of excavating equip- ment operating in the area are well known to all those who have familiarity with the property or with adjacent properties where mining continues. Since there is no more than a trace of dust sized particles, i .e. silt and clay, in the shallow soil , dust levels should be as low here as on any project in the glaci- ated areas of the Puget Sound. On steep slopes , the soil would be highly erosive. However, no such slopes are now bared nor will they be except, possibly, for one utility trench which is discussed later. No significant drainage presently discharges onto erosive parts of the slope and none should be allowed after development. The erosive nature of the soil is partly offset by its permeabili- ty. Most precipitation which falls on the site now soaks in even though most B-3 Mr. Patrick T. Easter Page 4 March 13, 1980 of the area to be developed is presently bared of vegetation. To those broad, presently bare areas, grading will amount to no change so far as erosion and dust are concerned and will be followed by an improvement once the project is completed and vegetation is established. Slope Stability and Setbacks - The embankment which separates the area to be developed from the Maple Valley Highway is stable at its present inclina- tion. On any slope this steep, localized sloughing and small-scale earth movements, such as might occur when a tree uproots, are to be expected from time to time. It is prudent design practice to allow sufficient setback distances to allow for some such natural processes and for erosion and simi- lar losses which might result from plumbing mishaps or future acts of human carelessness. In my opinion, a 25-foot building setback from the top of the embankment would be reasonable. Siting units closer to the slope would be acceptable if individually designed deep foundations were included so that the stability of the buildings would not be affected by shallow downhill losses. Stormwater Disposal - All runoff from roadways and surfaced public areas should be directed into public stormwater sewers. The highly permeable and unsaturated surface soils across the site are capable of absorbing consider- able water through drywells. However, to insure that groundwater levels are not significantly raised along the face of the steep slope above the Maple Valley Highway, thereby reducing slope stability, the use of seepage pits or drywells should be limited. Since almost all precipitation is currently absorbed by the soil without adverse downslope effects, the advised limi- tations relate mainly to concentration of introduced water in proximity to slope-sensitive areas. I recommend that no drywell or seepage pit be con- structed nearer than 200 feet to the top of the embankment and that no such structure be made in fill at any location. I also recommend that the de- signer confer with me about the locations of all drywells and about the rate and duration of expected recharge at each location prior to adopting the recharge scheme. Subgrade Utility Construction - Where utilities are to be laid through the clean, sandy soils of the type encountered in all test pits except in the lower reaches of pits 8 and 11 , imported bedding aggregate may not be neces- sary, depending on the discretion of the utility designer. The native soil is well suited as backfill and can be compacted with relative ease. There is no reason why a storm sewer cannot be laid diagonally down the em- bankment to the Maple Valley Highway. Likewise, there is no reason a narrow road could not be made on the slope to facilitate machine excavation. You will find considerable differences in attitude and willingness to undertake the job among contractors. If the trench is machine excavated, inspection C B-L Mr. Patrick T. Easter Page 5 March 13, 1980 in progress by someone such as myself is advised. Also, maximum effort should be applied to limit erosion which might be associated with that construction. Runoff from the upland area should be channeled away from the slope, and the bared area should be expeditiously seeded upon comple- tion. Jute net should be applied over the bared area until vegetation is reestablished. As an alternative to machine excavation, the line could be laid entirely above grade. In this case, the presumably metal pipe should be firmly bracketed to metal stakes. 3uilding Foundations - Providing that my recommendations on grading and setbacks are followed, all buildings could be founded on conventional spread footings which bear either on native soil or on compacted fill . Although at some, or even most, building locations higher pressures could be justified, unless building-by-building exploration is performed, bearing pressures should be limited to 2000 psf. Minimum footing dimensions and depth of burial will be dictated by local codes. Once a grading plan is completed, building locations are known, and founda- tions have been designed, please provide me with that information. Also, please keep me informed about construction scheduling and any other develop- ments which seem relevant to my efforts. Yours very truly, EARTH SCIENCES 5— i-e-,„ , c,14 games N.

B-8 APPENDIX C DRAFT TRAFFIC STUDY - ERADCO PROJECT - NE 3RD ST RENTON, WASH Dave Hamlin 2/25/80 LANDMARK ENGINEERING TRAFFIC ANALYSIS General This proposal will provide an estimated 425 dwelling units in a combination of apartments and condominiums. Primary access to the site will be via a paved foot roadway extending northerly from the northeast corner of the development to NE 3rd Street. Emergency access to the site will be provided via Blaine Avenue NE which connects to the site at a point approximately1000feetwestoftheprimaryaccesspoint. The emergency access route will not be open to the general public and will be provided with suitable barricade devices meeting Renton Fire Department regulations. The on-site transportation system will consist of a roadway system providing access to the major subdivisions within the site and parking areas proximatetoeachbuildingunit. Parking will not be allowed on access roadways. Cul-de-sacs will be designed to accommodate emergency vehicles and will conform to City of Renton standards. Parking areas will provide sufficient parking supply to meet current City of Renton standards. Trip Generation The proposed development will include approximately 332 apartments and 93 condominiums. The Institute of Transportation Engineers has provided trip generation rates for various residential land-uses which are presented inthe "ITE Trip Generation Manual" published in 1976. Figure 1 shows the summary of residential trip generation rates. The appropriate average weekday trip generation rates for the proposed development would be 6.1 trips per dwelling unit per day for the apartments and 5.6 trips per dwelling unit per day for the condominiums. These trip generation rates will produce an estimated 2546 trips per day for the entire composite of apartments an'd condominiums. The adjacent residential development of Monterey Terrace has been used in this analysis as a model for developing traffic characteristics for the proposed development. This is considered appropriate in that MontereyTerraceisexclusivelyresidential, as the proposed development will be, and since residents of Monterey Terrace should have similar trip destination/ origin and trip purpose characteristics as will the residents of the proposeddevelopment. Figure 2 shows the hourly trip characteristics for traffic entering and exiting the Monterey Terrace neighborhood on an average weekday. Figure 3 shows the hourly trips as a percentage of the total trips per day for entering and exiting traffic. Figure 3 was derived from Figure 2; however C-1 the hourly traffic rates were averaged with each succeeding and precedinghourlyrateinordertosmooththecurvesandtoprovideareasonable approximation of trip characteristics for larger residential neighborhoods. Figure 4 provides a composite of entering and exiting traffic expressed as a percentage of total daily trips. Figures 3 and 4 should reflect reasonable approximations of the trip characteristics for the proposed development. Figures 5 and 6 show the estimates of directional and total hourly volumes, respectively, that are anticipated to be on the primary access roadway onanaverageweekday. Figures 5 and 6 were developed by combining the trip generation rates and hourly characteristics derived above. Trip Distribution Traffic entering/exiting the site of the proposed development will be comingfrom/to the east and west on NE 3rd Street. The entrance to Monterey Terrace was observed for 30 minutes during a typical weekday morning to determine trip distribution characteristics for that neighborhood. Traffic was predominantly exiting during that period and it was observed that approximately 82% of the vehicles turned left (to the west) upon exiting and approximately 18% of the vehicles turned right (_to the east) upon exiting. These characteristics should be representative of the tripdistributioncharacteristicsfortrafficrelatedtotheproposeddevelopment,i.e. , it is estimated that approximately 82% of the total trips destined to/from the site will use NE 3rd Street west of the site and 18% will use NE 3rd Street east of the site. Figures 7 and 8 show the existing directional and total traffic volumes on NE 3rd Street for the section of that roadway near the point where the primary access roadway will connect to it. Figure. 9 shows the additional volumes anticipated to be generated by the proposed development superimposed on the existing volumes for NE 3rd Street west of the inter- section with the primary access road. The impacts on NE 3rd Street east of the intersection with the primary access road will be considerably less since 82% of the added traffic is estimated to be on the west leg of theintersection. C - 2 - Impacts on Existing Transportation System The primary traffic impact of the proposed development will be at the intersection of the primary access road with NE 3rd Street. Secondary impacts will occur on streets and intersections west of the proposed development. Impacts on streets and intersections east of the proposed development should be nominal due to the anticipated heavy has towards traffic movements to and from the west. The nationally recognized "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways" provides eight warrants for determining if a need exists for providing traffic signalization at a traffic intersection. Satisfaction of one or more of these warrants is usually considered valid evidence that a signal should be installed. The warrants are: Warrant 1 - Minimum vehicular volume Warrant 2 - Interruption of continuous traffic Warrant 3 - Minimum pedestrian volume Warrant 4 - School crossing Warrant 5 - Progressive movement Warrant 6 - Accident experience Warrant 7 - Systems Warrant 8 - Combination of warrants The conditions that merit the most consideration when analyzing the inter- section of the primary access roadway with NE 3rd Street fall within Warrant No. 2. Pedestrian activity is low in the vicinity, accident experience cannot be analyzed since the intersection is presently non-existent, and the remaining warrants do not apply in this case. Warrant No. 2 applies to operating conditions where the traffic volume on a major street is so heavy that traffic on a minor intersecting street suffers excessive delay or hazard in entering or crossing the major street. The warrant is satisfied when for each of any 8 hours of an average day, the traffic volumes on the major street exceed 900 vehicles per hour and the traffic volumes on the minor street approach exceeds 75 vehicles per hour. C - 3 - The following tabulation is derived by using the traffic volumes estimated above for the exiting traffic using the primary access roadway and the total volumes estimated to be on NE 3rd Street following completion of the project see Figure 9). The tabulation shows the highest eight hours where the conditions for Warrant No. 2 are met. Predicted Volume Predicted Volume on Time on NE 3rd Street Primary Access Road 1. 8:00 - 9:00 AM 1320 109 2. 7:00 - 8: 00 AM 2150 88 3. 9:00 - 10:00 AM 980 88 4. 3:00 - 4:00 PM 1810 87 5. 10:00 - 11:00 PM 970 86 6. 4:00 - 5:00 PM 2130 79 7. 11:00 - 12:00 AM 1170 77 8. 2:00 - 3:00 PM 1490 76 The above tabulation indicates that a signal will be warranted for the intersection of the primary access road with NE 3rd Street, even if it serves no other uses than the proposed development. If a roadway should be extended to the intersection from the north to serve areas north of NE 3rd Street, traffic using that roadway would benefit from a signal and would provide additional justification for it. A traffic signal at the intersection of the primary access road with NE 3rd Street should be a two-phase full-actuated unit with volume-density features for the phase serving NE 3rd Street. The design for the signal should provide advance detectors for NE 3rd Street and stop-bar detectors for the side street. The signal may need provisions for accommodating separate left-turn phases for traffic on NE 3rd Street, if there is likeli- hood for a roadway connection to the north. NE 3rd Street may need localized widening at the intersection with the primary access road to accommodate left-turning vehicles. The incidence of westbound left-turns will be minor due to the predominance of traffic movements to and from the west. The need to accommodate eastbound left- turns will only exist if a connection to the north is provided. The final determination on the need for widening should be reached following a detailed design study for the intersection. C - 4 - A traffic signal at the intersection of the primary access road with NE 3rd Street will not be unduly disruptive if it is properly designed and operated. The specific location of the intersection is far enough from other signalized locations so that interference between signals will be minimal. The additional traffic loads which the proposed project will impose on NE 3rd Street west of the primary access road will have some impact at the intersection of North 3rd Street and Sunset Boulevard North. The intersection will be moderatelyimpacted during the morning peak hour 7: 00 AM to 8:00 AM) and during the afternoon peak hour (4:00 PM to 5:00 PM). The additional traffic volumes will have no impact during off-peak periods since the intersection operates far below design capacities during those times. The approach volumes at the intersection of North 3rd Street and Sunset Boulevard North for the westbound approach during the morning peak hour will increase about 4.7 % following completion of the project. Impacts on other approaches during that period should be very minimal. The afternoon peak hour period will see an overall increase of about 160 vehicles in the intersection; however, there is insufficient information available to determine the percentage of increase for particular approaches during this period. It is reasonable to assume, however, that no approach will experience an increase greater than approximately 3-5% over existing volumes since the additional volumes will be distributed over all four appraches to the intersection. The intersection of North 3rd Street and Sunset Boulevard North has operated without improvement for many years and should be subjected to a traffic analysis. It should be possible to greatly enhance the efficiency of the intersection by adjusting detector operations and signal timings. Such adjustments would, presumably, more than compensate for the relatively minor traffic increases that will be generated by the proposed project. Other intersections and roadways west of the proposed project should not be significantly impacted due to the rapid dispersal of the traffic as it radiates away from the project. The traffic on NE 3rd Street will continue to increase in the foreseeable future. The traffic volume has increased from 18,801 vehicles per day in 1973 to 22,170 vehicles per day in 1978 for an overall increase of approxi- mately 3.4% per year. Future increases may diminish somewhat due to energy shortages and increased driving costs. The traffic volume on NE 3rd Street west of the primary access road in 1985, if we assume an annual increase of 3.4% and if the project is constructed as proposed, will be in the range of 29,000 to 31,000 vehicles per day. This increase may require some improvements at the intersection of North 3rd Street and Sunset Boulevard North; however, the proposed project itself will not be a significant factor in' creating the need for such improvements.

By Dave Hamlin. GENERAL The alternate access to the site would provide a two-lane roadway that would traverse the bluff on the southerly side of the site to reach the Maple Valley Highway. The maximum grade on the roadway would be 10 percent and tight-radius curves would be required at the bottom and near the top of the roadway due to the topographic features of the area. TRIP GENERATION The trip generation characteristics associated with the proposal would re- main the same as discussed in the traffic analysis of the primary access road. TRIP DISTRIBUTION The provision of an alternate access from the site to the Maple Valley High- way would alter trip distribution characteristics when compared to the op- tion of the primary access only. The most significant change in trip dis- tribution patterns would be in the morning peak hour when traffic exiting the site via the alternate access could turn right onto the Maple Valley Highway to reach points of major attraction. The directional trip distribution characteristics of those motorists who would use the alternate access would be similar to those using the primary access. However, it is estimated that a greater percentage (90 - 95%) would be destined to, or originate from the northwest. This estimate is based on the fact that few shopping and employment opportunities or schools are located southeast of the intersection of the alternate access road with the Maple Valley Highway. The actual volume of traffic that would use the alternate access would de- pend on several variables, but primarily on the efficiencies of traffic op- erations at the "Maple Valley Wye" and the intersection of NE 3rd Street and Sunset Blvd. North. The primary access and the alternate access are very similar in terms of providing access to major attractions and it is not possible to accurately predict volumes on either route, if both exist, due to the sensitivity of motorists to perceived traffic conditions at locations cited above. Under "ideal" conditions, however, it is reasonable to assume that 50 to 75% of the morning peak hour trips would use the alternate ac- cess and that 50 to 75% of the afternoon peak hour trips would use the pri- mary access. IMPACTS ON EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM The Maple Valley Highway has traffic characteristics that are very similar to those on NE 3rd Street. Current traffic volume on the Maple Valley High- C-15 way are 21,597 vehicles per day as compared to 22,170 vehicles per day on NE 3rd Street. The peak hour characteristics are also similar for the two roadways, however, the morning peak hour volume on the Maple Valley High- way is currently about 5% greater than that on NE 3rd Street. The provision of the primary plus the alternate access would obviously alter trip distribution characteristics to the extent that a traffic signal would not be required at the intersections of either route with the City's arter- ial system (See Traffic Section Warrant Analysis in Traffic Study for Pri- mary Access Roadway) . The fact that each intersection would operate with- out a traffic signal would encourage a clockwise traffic pattern since the right-out' "right-in" movements would be substantially easier than left- turns into or out of the site at either location. The net effect of the provision of the two routes, as compared to the sin- gle primary access, would be to concentrate a greater number of morning peak hour trips at the "Maple Valley Wye" while lessening the impacts at the intersection of NE 3rd Street and Sunset Blvd. N. The "Maple Valley Wye" is a complex series of intersections involving free- way ramps, the junction of two major roadways (Maple Valley Highway and Sunset Blvd. N.) , a railroad crossing, and two important city streets Bronson Way N. and Houser Way. N) . It is one of the most complex inter- sections in the Renton area and it uses a highly sophisticated form of Coordinated-Actuated" traffic control system which provides the best form of traffic control that can be attained at that location. Traffic conges- tion is prevalent at that intersection during peak hours and it will be- come increasingly so as volumes increase on the Maple Valley Highway. The provision of the alternate access would exacerbate the congestion with no reasonable means of mitigation. The intersection of NE 3rd Street and Sunset Blvd. N. , as well as mitiga- tion measures at that location, is discussed in the traffic study for the primary access road. The alternate access would, at best, provide marginal benefit to future residents of the proposed development. Trip lengths would be longer, how- ever, this may be off-set by reduced ways to gain access to the arterial system. It is probable that commute times for the future residents would be essentially the same with or without the alternate access, given the as- sumption that a traffic signal would be installed at the intersection of the primary access road and NE 3rd Street in the case where the alternate access is not to be provided. The cost to provide the alternate access roadway, in addition to the pri- mary access roadway, has been previously estimated to be in the range of 1 million, subject to the suitability of soils in the area. The cost to provide a traffic signal at the intersection of the primary access road- way and NE 3rd Street would be in the range of $50,000 to $100,000, sub- ject to the extent of roadway improvements that may be required. The provision of an alternate access roadway, as analyzed in this report, is not found to be significantly beneficial nor cost-effective. Addition- ally, the roadway itself would have negative features including, steep grades and sharp curves dictated by terrain, and would likely be used as a short- cut, particularly during peak hours, by motorists seeking to avoid the Maple Valley Wye".

SUPPLEMENT TO APPENDIX C SUPPLEMENTAL TRAFFIC ANALYSIS FOR ERADCO P.U.D. - MONTEREY TERRACE ASSOCIATES The major volume of trips generated by the proposed ERADCO PUD will be destined to/from the west on N. E. 3rd Street, provided that the access road connecting the development to N. E. 3rd Street is the sole access. The initial traffic analysis for the project concluded that approximately 32% of all trips generated by the project will use N. E. 3rd Street west of the access road connection. Virtually all of the traffic going to/from the project on N. E. 3rd Street will proceed through the intersection of West 3rd Street and Sunset Blvd. N. That intersection has been observed during morning and after- noon peak-hours and a capacity analysis has been conducted to determine the peak-hour performance of the intersection with and without the proposed project. The capacity analysis has been done using the methods and data as provided in the nationally recognized "Highway Capacity Manual", 1965 Edition. The capacity analysis has been confined to the intersection of North 3rd Street and Sunset Blvd. because the.trips forecast indicate that few trips will proceed east from the proposed development and the traffic impacts beyond North 3rd Street and Sunset Blvd. North will become negligible. The turning movements discussed below indicate that the traffic from the development will be fairly uniformly still between using the south leg and the west leg of the intersection. Figures 1A and 2A show the results of morning and afternoon peak-hour turning movement counts. The data shown thereon was derived by separately counting each approach and combining the turning/through percentages with the current count data, as supplied by the City of Renton, to derive the turning/through volumes. The intersection was analyzed with and without the effects of the proposed project for "level of service 'D'" and with the effects of the project for "level of service 'E'". Level of service 'D' is defined in the HIGHWAY CAPACITY MANUAL as "approaching unstable flow" and level of service ' E' is defined as "unstable flow. " Level of service ' E' is considered the actual capacity of an intersection and is characterized by a condition where all critical movements in the intersection are fully loaded and most motorists will wait an average of a full cycle to move through the intersection. Level of service ' E' is the typical operating mode for intersections near major employment centers during peak traffic periods.

These volumes were developed by applying the existing turning characteristics to the estimate of trips generated by the proposed project. Figure 4A shows a tabulation of capacity factors for the intersection of North 3rd Street and Sunset Blvd. North under a variety of conditions. Rows 8, 10, 14, and 16 show the results of capacity analysis at level of service 'D' with and without the effects of the proposed project. The morning peak-hour analysis (rows 8 and 10) show that the intersection is presently 18% over-capacity at level of service 'D' and the new trips would increase the capacity deficiency by 6%. The afternoon peak-hour analysis (rows 14 and 16) shows that the intersection is presently 7% under-capacity at level of service 'D' but would be 1% over-capacity with the new trips. Rows 12 and 18 show the results of capacity analysis at level of service 'E' with the effects of the proposed project. The morning peak- hour analysis (row 12) indicates that the intersection will be 6% over- capacity with the proposed project which indicates that the intersection is just at level of service ' E' capacity under existing conditions. The afternoon peak-hour analysis (row 18) shows that the intersection will be 10% under-capacity with the proposed project. The intersection of North 3rd Street and Sunset Blvd. North appears to operate at a somewhat higher level of efficiency than is implied by the capacity analysis. This is probably due to the fact that the inter- section is controlled by a fully-activated controller which is not adequately accounted for in the capacity analysis technique. The efficiency of the intersection could be further enhanced if the controller were replaced with a more modern unit with "volume-density" features for through movements on Sunset Blvd. North and if the detection locations were re-engineered. This revision would provide an even more efficient use of time in the intersection and would most likely allow the intersection to continue to function at much higher volumes than is implied by the traditional capacity analysis.

The impact in the future will become even less, on a relative basis, due to the natural increase in volumes that can be expected on N. E. 3rd Street. It was estimated in the earlier traffic analysis for this project that the traffic on N. E. 3rd Street will probably grow at the rate of about 3.4% per year until saturation development is reached. This growth rate would put the morning peak-hour volumes in 5 years 1985) at about 118% of the theoretical level of service ' E' capacity without the project and about 123% of the theoretical level of service E' capacity with the proposed project. There are no practical physical changes that can be recommended, other than those specified above, that will appreciably increase the intersection capacity. The provision of a second northbound left-lane, at the expense of one of the two existing northbound through lanes, was examined but was found to seriously disrupt afternoon capacities. The intersection of West 3rd Street and Sunset Blvd. North, as well as all roadways and intersections in Renton, will benefit by the en- couragement of carpools, increased public transportation services, and most important, staggered work hours. All of the roadway facilities in the Renton area have substantial excess capacity during off-peak hours that can be utilized if the shift-break times in the Renton area can be spread over longer periods.

RENTON, WASHINGTON Dear r•lr. Ki os: In response to your authorization of February 4, 1980, we are pleased to present herein the results of our preliminary study regarding utility and drainage facilities for your proposed P.U.D. in Renton, Washington. The following data has been developed through contacts with the appropriate City of Renton departments, Puget Sound Power and Light Company, and Washington Natural Gas Company. 1 . Water Supply Water supply is available from an existing 16 inch main on Third Avenue North, the static pressure in this main has adequate psi. Service requirements for the proposed 425 units will be approximately 380 gpm for maximum instantaneous domestic flow (DSHS design standards) and a probable 5000 gpm 2-hour fire, flow. City of Renton requirements call for a completed loop from Third Avenue North, one line along the east entry road and the other along Mt. Olivet Way (Blaine Avenue N.E. ). The flow requirements indicate that the primary loop will consist of approximately 3000 feet of 12 inch along fait. Olivet Way and along the east entry road. Both connections to the existing main will require street crossings of Third Avenue North. engineering/planning/surveying/environmental analysis/landscape design Offices located in: Bellevue Washington •Tacoma Washington • Portland,Oregon •Foster City,California Mr. Stephen Klos Page Two Febriary 25, 1980 There is an existing 12 inch main on the Maple Valley Highway to the south, about 250 feet below the site and in a different pressure zone. This low pressure and the anticipated expense of laying pipe up the slope indicate this line to be inadequate for supply to the site. Additionally, the existing water system in the Monterey Terrace area is all 4 inch pipe and inadequate, if access were possible. 2. Sanitary Sewers Sanitary sewer service is available from an existing METRO 42 inch trunk sewer on the Maple Valley Highway. Connection to this sewer will require the construction of an 8 inch line down the bluff along the southwest side of the site, and across the Maple Valley Highway (SR-169) . This solution will provide an assured connection, however, the outfall down the bluff will be expensive construction and, at least temporarily, iisruptive to existing growth and ground cover. Along the west side of the existing Monterey Terrace subdivision, north- Nest of the project site there is an existing sanitary sewer which is terminated near the west corner of the site with a 243 foot run of 6 inch sewer. Hydraulically this sewer is adequate to carry the flow from the project, however, City requirements call for a minimum 8 inch sewer size for all but minor services. If suitable right-of-way could be acquired from the owner of the property at the terminus of this sewer, this connection, although expensive would be preferable to a sewer line sown the bluff to the Maple Valley Highway. If demanded by the City and access is available through the rear yards of adjoining property the final 243 feet of 6 inch sewer could be reconstructed as 8 inch sewer. A third alternative and also the most economical would be a connection to the existing 8 inch street sewer on Monterey Drive near the north- nest corner of the site. Access to this sewer would require a right- 3f-way along the side lot lines between houses on Monterey Drive for a distance of about 100 feet. With care during construction and re- storation of existing landscaping this route would appear to be the most desirable alternative to provide sanitary service to the site. A question has been raised by the City of Renton as to the adequacy of downstream sewers (near I-405) in this system to carry the additional load of this project. No data exists to indicate a lack of capacity, however, the City will probably require some verification of adequacy prior to allowing connection through the Monterey Terrace system. 3. Storm Water Runoff Storm water runoff from the site must be collected and discharged in accordance with the "Renton Storm and Surface Water Drainage Ordinance" Ordinance No. 3174) . This ordinance basically restricts the peak discharge of storm water runoff to no increase due to development of the land. It is estimated that the existing peak runoff rate, from the undeveloped site, under the influence of a 1 :10 year frequency D—2 Mr. Stephen Kl os Page Three February 25, 1980 will be approximately 4.5 cfs and under a 1 :25 year frequency storm approximately 5. 3 cfs. After development these peak runoff rates will increase to 22.2 cfs and 27.6 cfs respectively. Detention facilities will be required in the 25 acre developed area to reduce the 1 :10 year frequency flow rate to predevelopment levels, however, collection at the final discharge point leaving the site should have emergency capabilities of passing flow from a 1 :25 year frequency flow. For purposes of preliminary analysis and cost estimating a conceptual collection and detention system was laid out on a preliminary site development plan. This system is shown on the attached drawing. The system as shown provides for conventional underground collection from paved and street areas feeding into over-sized pipes and depressed landscape areas which serve as detention facilities. The outlet to each of these four detention systems contains a throttled outlet to reduce peak outflows to required predevelopment levels and also provides oil separation prior to discharge. The required storage capability for the system, in conformance with Renton Ordinance is approximately 24,100 cubic feet. The plan as shown places approximately 11 ,300 C. F. in underground storage with the remain- ing 12,800 C.F. accommodated in surface storage. Final design and close coordination between drainage design and final grading could vary this ratio. Open ponding in landscaped areas should be provided on gentle slopes and planted with material resistent to periodic short term inundation. More intense use of parking areas could also be achieved in the grading design. Because of the lack of overflow capacities for storms in excess of the design storm (1 :10 year) some infrequent surcharging of the open pond areas should be anticipated in pond design and extra discharge capacity provided in the outfall line from the site. To accommodate this possibility the outfall has been sized to carry the allowable outflow from a 1 :100 year predevelopment con- dition of 6. 9 cfs. It is suggested that a surface flume, properly supported and screened, along the slope might provide the most advantageous outfall with the least amount of disruption to the exist- ing ground and ground cover. Special care will be required to dissipate the water energy at the bottom of the slope prior to dis- charge into the existing ditch system along the Maple Valley Highway. Attached is a preliminary cost estimate of the conceptual collection and detention system as shown on the attached drawing 4. Electric Power Three-phase electric power is available along N. E. Third Avenue at the entrance to the site, from Puget Sound Power and Light Company. A looped service (underground) would be provided for the site along the east entry road and along Mt. Olivet Way (Blaine Avenue N. E. ) . Developer cost of this service would be based on estimated revenues from power users over the first five years of installation. If estimated 5 year revenues equalled or exceeded the construction cost there would be no developer cost for the service. If estimated 5 year revenues were less than construction cost, the developer cost would equal the difference. D-3 Mr. Stephen Klos Page Four February 25, 1980 5. Natural Gas Natural gas supply from Washington Natural Gas Company is adequate and is available from an existing 8 inch high-pressure main in Northeast Third Street or from an existing 4 inch high-pressure main at the bottom of the bluff near the west corner of the site. The choice of the route, by 4ashington Natural Gas Company, will depend upon the availability of easement rights up the bluff and the alternative costs of providing service along Mt. Olivet Way (Blaine Avenue N.E. ). There is attached hereto a composite site area map showing the above described utility facilities affecting the site development. Additional details of specific locations, valving, grades, etc. are available at such time as your site planning becomes precise. At such time as you are ready to begin final desiln for the site we would appreciate the opportunity to be of further service to you. Very truly yours, WILSEY & HAM NC. Dick Reeve P.E.

Thorpe & Associates 815 Seattle Tower 3rd and University Seattle, Washington 98101 RE: ERADCO P.U.D. Dear Ms. Krouse: With reference to your letter of August 6, 1980 regarding comments on the preliminary draft EIS for ERADCO, I believe the following information will satisfy the questions. 1 . A statement that on-site detention in conformance with the Renton Surface Water Run-Off Ordinance should suffice for the EIS, however, it may be appropriate to mention the following: a. Estimated detention storage requirement for a 1 :10 year storm is 24,100 cubic feet which is proposed to be accommodated by 11 ,300 C.F. in underground pipe storage and 12,800 C.F. in open surface ponding in landscape depressions and parking areas. b. Although the normal discharge from the detention system should be restricted to a predevelopment peak rate of 4.5 cfs (1 :10 yr. ) , self-operating emergency facilities should be capable of passing 5.3 cfs (1 :25 yr. ). The outfall to the Maple Valley Highway should be capable of passing a 1 :100 flow if necessary although this occurrence could probably be handled through increased surface pond- ing in the system. I believe this configuration would assure pre- vention of uncontrolled overflows down the bank. c. I believe interim protection during construction should be achieved through partial construction of the storm detention system, (i .e. the outfall and lower portion of the detention system utilizing the open pond areas as silting basins). Also, drainage swales along the top of the bank should be part of this initial system. The logistics of this interim construction will depend on the construction phasing. Erosion prevention for construction in the greenbelt must also be accommodated in some manner by the Contractor through timing, jute matting, hay bales, ponds, etc. engineering/planning/surveying/environmental analysis/landscape design Offices located in: Bellevue Washington •Tacoma Washington• Portland,Oregon •Foster City,California Ms. Deborah Krouse Page Two August 22, 1980 2. The object of the detention system is to reduce peak rates of outflow not total volume. As long as the peak rate of outflow is contained within pre-development values the existing system on the Cedar Valley Road should be satisfactory, as long as adequate energy dissipation is achieved. 3. It is suggested that although the completed project surface will be more impermeable to the entry of groundwater this will be mitigated to some unknown extent by use of open storage ponds in the drainage system and within landscaped areas. I hope the above will provide the necessary responses for this document. If you have any further questions please call me. Very truly yours , WILSEY & HAM, INC. Dick Reeves, `'D. E.

Headquarters and regional personnel have reviewed the EIS and have the following concerns. The proposed development will add large amounts of sewage to the Renton sewage treatment plant (STP) which is already operating at or above capacity. It may be several years before the STP is upgraded. The STP does not, at times, meet the current NPDES permit limits and the new 1 permit may be even more stringent. The EIS should discuss the impacts 1 of this development on the STP and on the water quality of the Green + River. The developer and contractor should use all appropriate measures to prevent any water quality violations, especially during the construction /0 phase. If you have any questions, please call Mr. Mike Dawda of our Northwest Regional Office at 885-1900. Sincerely, Barbara J. itchie Environmental Review Section BJR:bjw cc: Mike Dawda, DOE, Northwest Region 2 Response to Comments from the Washington State Department of Ecology Comment Number: 1 Comment rated. Communication with John Lesniak of the Municipality of Metro- politan Seattle has confirmed the information contributed in the response letter from the Department of Ecology. A Draft Wastewater Management Plan has been for- mulated which contains recommendations for upgrading the Renton system in order to provide adequate protection to water quality and health. Suggested improve- ments included in this Draft Plan involve major construction activities which are scheduled for completion in 1985. Until these improvements are instituted, interim measures will be enacted as de- tailed in the excerpt of the Draft Wastewater Management Plan, which has been included as Appendix A in this document. However, it is inevitable that NPDES permit levels will be periodically exceeded , particularly during excessive wastewater flows in the winter months. The pro- posed action, in conjunction with other development in the area, will exacerbate the degree of these violations as well as contribute to an increase in their fre- quency, with a commensurate detrimental impact on the water quality of the Green River. Comment Number: 2 Those water quality impact mitigations marked by an asterisk on pages 3, 33, 39-40, and 102 of the Draft EIS will be implemented by the developer. Addition- al mitigations could be imposed as a condition of project approval by the res- ponsible decisionmaker. 3 ti ir: 410 West Harrison Street,P.O.Box 9863 (206)344-7330 1, 0 Seattle,Washington 98109 tits 1ai 4',:.

Comments received from the Planning Division indicate that the discussion on land use and park impacts are adequate, but they have the following transportation comments : 1. The traffic analysis should include comparative maps 1 of future traffic with and without the proposal. 2 . Page 28 - The intent of the "Alternative Site Access" 2 is unclear. This should be clarified and stated early in the text. 3. Page 65B. Mitigating Measures - If the proposal is approved, tae applicant should be required to provide a traffic signal at the intersection of the primary road and N.E. 3rd St. This should also include the widening of N.E. 3rd to accomodate left turns. Without these improvements , access to the proposed site would be hazardous . 4. Page 68 - Page 7 states that there would be 204 PM peak 4 one way trips. This conflicts with the volumes presented in the table and also does not conform with the appropriate peak hour designation (AM vs. PM) . 5. N.E. 3rd St. between Sunset and Jefferson is the most heavily 5 traveled section of the road. Traffic is further impacted, e3pecially eastbound, by the gradient of the hill. We are cpncerned about the impacts of conciestion at the intersection of growth to the east and the impacts of a signal on N.E. 3rd which would disrupt traffic flow and compound existing crngestion problems . 8 Mr. David Clemens March 2 , 1981 Page 2 6. Page C-7, 8, 9 - These figures were derived from information 5 ' collected in November 1975. Since these figures are signi- ficant in forecasting the project's traffic impact, have any changes occurred over the years? Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this proposal. Sin ely, 0/ (Z '(----- 0$$' ohn M. Rose, Chairman Environmental Impact Committee 9 Response to Comments from King County Department of Budget and Program Development Comment Number: 1 The key issue involving the traffic impacts of the proposal is the peak-hour im- pact at the signalized intersection of N. 3rd Street and Sunset Blvd. N. The EIS provided comparisons of operating conditions at that location with and with- out the proposal. See response to comment 6, letter from Renton Traffic Engineer for further elaboration on this subject, on page 21 of this document. Comment Number: 2 The purpose of the "Alternative Site Access" would be to provide access from the site to Maple Valley Highway. The alternate access would be constructed in ad- dition to the existing access roadway and would offer residents of the proposed development the opportunity to use either N.E. 3rd Street or Maple Valley Highway to gain access/egress to the site. Comment Number: 3 On pages 8, 69 and 104, the Draft EIS suggests these measures as mitigations to the impacts of the proposal. The City of Renton, as lead agency, will make fi- nal the determination as to which measures to employ. Comment Number: 4 The EIS shows an estimate of 204 total trips on the access road during the PM peak hour (Figure 6, Appendix C, P. 11 of the Draft EIS) . This estimate repre- sents travel volumes in both directions. The table on page 68 shows the esti- mate for approach volumes (single direction) for the access road which is the proper method for presenting the data when discussing traffic signal warrants. Comment Number: 5 Comment noted. The widening of N.E. Third Street will have the effect of insur- ing the continuous flow of through traffic past the new access intersection while providing for safe turning movements. This will be particularly critical due to the proximate of the proposed access points to the crest of the hill im- mediately to the east. Without proper channelization, the potential for future hazardous traffic situations will be increased. The traffic signalization of N.E. Third Street is an apparent need expressed in the Draft EIS. The extension of Edmonds Avenue N.E. by the Homecraft devel- opment proposed between N.E. Third Street and N.E. Fourth Street will likewise initiate the need for a signalized intersection. If the two access locations could be accommodated through the single intersection of Edmonds and N.E. Third Street, certain cost efficiencies and traffic safety improvements such as turn lanes can be realized. 10 Response to Comments from King County Department of Budget and Program Development (Continued) However, as presently proposed, the primary access to the ERADCO PUD development will intersect N.E. Third Street about 350 feet west of the intersection of the Edmonds extention and N.E. Third Street. This access has been constructed in accordance with City requirements, in a location acceptable to the City at the time of permit approval. However, the covenants accompanying the rezone of the proposal require City approval of access as a part of the development permit pro- cess. The currently constructed access represents a private driveway to vacant property. This access may or may not be deemed satisfactory for a 425-unit mul- tiple family residential development. Comment Number: 6 The referenced figures present trip data characteristics for the Monterey Terrace neighborhood in 1975. This data was conditioned in order to determine hourly trip characteristics expressed as a percentage of total daily trips. There have been no significant changes in the neighborhood or the street sys- tem since 1975. 11 Jai King County Conservation District 35 SOUTH GRADY WAY RENTON, WASHINGTON 98055 March 5 , 1981 Mr. David Clemens Acting Planning Director Municipal Bldg. 200 Mill Ave. South Renton, Wash. 98055 Re: DEIS of the ERADCO PUD Dear Mr. Clemens : Having reviewed the information presented in the Draft En- vironmental Impact Statement for ERADCO PUD, we have several concerns which we feel need enumeration in order to provide a more comprehensive assessment of the potential impa.;ts of the aforementioned proposal. This DEIS does not include adequate information regarding the soils on this site, mentioning only the findings of the test pit logs, and none of their properties relevant to construction activities. According to the United States Depa:-tment of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service' s 1973 Soil Survey of the King County Area, this site is composed of soil; of the Alderwood-Kitsap (AkF) and Everett (EvC) series . Alderwood-Kitsap (AkF) found in the designated greenbelt areaofthesite, is about .50 percent Alderwood gravelly sandy loam and ::5 percent Kitsap silt loam, with steep slopes of 25 to 75 percent. Drainage and permeability vary. Runoff is rapid to very rapid, and erosion hazard is severe to very severe. The ;slippage potential is severe. Soil limitations are severe for ;;hallow excavations due to steep slopes and severe slippage 1. potential. There is low to moderate corrosivity for uncoated stee] and concrete. This soil is fair to poor for roadfill material, and is poor for highway location due to moderate shrink-swell potential, slippage potential on steeper slopes , and high frost-action potential. This soil is best used for timber production. Everett (EvC) found in the flatter upland areas of the is made up of somewhat excessively drained gravelly sandy loam that is Zunderlainbyaverygravellysandatadepthof18-36 inches. Some areas may have up to 5 percent Alderwood, or 5 percent Indianola, or up to 25 percent Neilton. Slopes are 5-15 percent. Permeability is rapid, runoff is slow and the erosion hazard is 12 2- slight. Soil limitation is moderate for building foundations if slope is more than 8 percent, severe for shallow excavations due to being very gravelly. This soil is poor for topsoil, good for roadfill and has low compressibility for embankments; per- vious when compacted and has piping hazard. This soil is best used for timber, pasture and urban development. Further investigation of the soil/geologic stability of this site reveals that the proposed greenbelt area is classified as a Class III and the flatter upland portion as a Class II Seizmic Hazard Area according to the Sensitive Areas Map Folio for King County. The Class III units are "areas potentially susceptible to liquefaction, wherein the structural strength of unconsolidated soils and alluvial materials are drastically and .3 abruptly reduced. Seizmic shock can induce liquefaction by disrupting the cohesive strength of saturated ganular earth materials" . The Class II units exhibit the same potential prob- lems to a lesser degree. In conjunction with these Classes, the folio also depicts the greenbelt area as one of potentially High Erosion Hazard, and classifies that same area as Class III for Slide and Slippage having serious slippage potential. Due ,to the aformentioned limitations of the soil found in green- belt area, we strongly recommend that the use of heavy equip- ment for construction of the proposed jogging path be minimized, 4 and that those denuded areas resulting from that construction be reseeded and stabilized (mulched and jute netted) immediately 5 upon completion. The Alternative Site Access proposed in the statement should be avoided, as its stability during and after construction would be extremely questionable. The statement mentions that "approximately 70 percent of the site will be converted to impermeable surfaces" . This is an extremely high value (especially in an area of permeable soil) covering almost 17 . 5 acres of the 25 acres proposed for de- velopment with rooftops, parking areas , sidewalks , and roads . Of main concern is the fact that this impervious area will pre- vent infiltration and percolation of precipitation, forcing more water to drainageways faster than under pre-development conditions. It is mentioned in the statement that the pre- development 10-year and 25-year stormwater volumes have been calculated for the site. It is imperative that the temporary and permanent drainage systems be sized for the 10-year 24-year storm, and that these systems be properly designed, implemented, and maintained. We recommend that seasonal constraints be placed upon construction C5 activities and urge that earth works and any stabilizing measures instituted be certified by a qualified soils engineer aware of 9 seizmic and liquefaction potentials. In order to enhance the stability of the site, disturbance and/or removal of natural vegetation should be minimized. Thank you for affording us the opportunity to comment on this document.

Comment Number: 3 Comments noted. The discussion of "Geology and Soils - Existing Conditions" on page 28 of the Draft EIS is hereby revised to incorporate the following informa- tion: The greenbelt portion of the site is classified as a Class III and the flatter upland portion as a Class II Seismic Hazard Area according to the Sensitive Areas Map Folio for King County. Class III units fea- ture soils with potential susceptibility to liquefaction, which may be induced by seismic shock. This process disrupts the structural strength of unconsolidated soils and alluvial materials. Class II units exhibit this capability to a lesser degree. In addition, the Folio also classifies the greenbelt area as having High Erosion Haz- ard, as well as Class III for Slide and Slippage having serious slip- page potential." Comment Number: 4 To reflect the concern stated in the District's letter, the following mitigating measure is hereby added to the list of "Unique Physical Features - Mitigating Measures" on pages 2, 32, and 101 of the Draft EIS: c) The use of heavy equipment for construction of the proposed jog- ging path should be minimized to protect the hillside from dam- age caused by high erosion and slippage potential." Comment Number: 5 This proposed mitigating measure, as included in the Draft EIS on pages 2, 32, and 101 has been revised to include the concerns indicated in the comment let- ter, as follows: a) The denuded area should be reseeded and stabilized with mulch and jute net immediately upon completion until vegetation is reestab- lished." As a condition of project approval, implementation of this mitigation may be im- posed by the responsible decisionmaker. 14 Response to Comments from the King County Conservation District (Continued) Comment Number: 6 The purpose of including the alternative site access discussion within the Draft EIS was to fully investigate any alterations it may have on the traffic/circu- lation impacts of the proposal. However, as indicated on page 99 of the Draft EIS, the extremely high cost of this alternative, as well as the destruction of the greenbelt, render this op- tion economically and environmentally questionable. Comment Number: 7 Comment noted. Comment Number: 8 To incorporate the concern registered in the comment letter, the following mi- tigation has been added to the list of "Erosion-Mitigating Measures" on pages 2, 33 and 101, as follows: c) Excavation and grading activities could be limited to periods of normally dry weather to reduce the potential for erosion." Comment Number: 9 As indicated in the discussion of "Geology and Soils - Mitigating Measures," on pages 1, 30, and 101 of the Draft EIS all the recommendations of the soils en- gineer will be implemented. Among these, the soils engineer has suggested that he supervise the placement and compaction of structural fills in order to ensure that the degree of compaction is sufficient for the intended purpose.

Mitigating the effect of increased traffic on N.E. 3rd Street, and especially the intersection of N.E. 3rd Street and Sunset Boulevard North, should be considered in more depth. 1 A more modern signal system seems to be the only suggested mitigation in the traffic studies. Adding this complex with others now proposed and still others within and outside the City will, as pointed out, continue to decrease the level of service of the inter- Z section of North 3rd and Sunset. Perhaps construction in this part of the City should be stopped until a more comprehensive traffic study is done in order to establish the street needs of the future. JCH/mp 16 Response to Comments from the City of Renton Building Department Comment Number: 1 A more detailed analysis of the possible mitigation for traffic impacts on N.E. Third Street and its intersection with Sunset Blvd. is contained in the response to comment 6 , letter from Gary Norris, the City Traffic Engineer, on page 21 . Comment Number: 2 The comments related to the impacts of development both within the city limits and beyond is well taken. The question of whether to limit future development is both an environmental and policy issue. This and other EISs can assess their levels of environmental impacts. However, a decision as to whether these im- pacts are of sufficient magnitude to warrant denial of permits for further de- velopment must be made at the policy level by the appropriate legislative body. It is apparent from the information available in the ERADCO PUD Draft EIS that the future consequences of growth and development in this general vicinity and easterly on the East Renton Plateau will continue to adversely affect traffic circulation. As a result, those secondary environmental consequences of in- creased noise, air pollution, energy utilization and the cost of congestion upon the local economy will continue to increase. As stated in this Draft EIS, the current traffic volumes at N.E. Third Street and Sunset Blvd. are at a level of service D. The implementation of this pro- posal will add 6-7% additional traffic, while other developments within the City in the vicinity of this subject site will add an additional 6000+ daily trips to this corridor over the next several years. At the same time, the level of traffic increase as a result of permits issued in King County have been adding an average of 3 to 5% increase in daily trips each year. The result is a continuing and complex series of traffic and related secondary environmental impacts which apparently have few immediate solutions beyond minor short-term relief. The Environmental Review Committee, Hearing Examiner and the City Council must consider these consequences in the plan review process for this and any future development in this immediate area. 17 I OF RSA o THE CITY OF RENTON U ` 0 Z MUNICIPAL BUILDING 200 MILL AVE.

The determination was made to accept the draft document with a final addendum as the final EIS pursuant to WAS 197-10-580 (2) .

SHINPOCH MAYOR February 10, 1981 TO: Dave Clemens, Acting Planning Director 0 FROM: Gary Norris, Traffic Engineer SUBJECT: ERADCO - PUD EIS Pursuant to your request, we have reviewed the subject EIS. As a result, we have the following comments: 1. Development should be limited to 425 units unless an analysis is conducted to evaluate the impacts of a maximum density of 625 dwelling units. 2. Transit service will not necessarily serve to reduce auto vehicle trip rates as the ITE Trip Generation Rates are for auto vehicle trips only which means there exist background transit trips. 3. The actual traffic volume increase experienced on NE Third has been approximately 6.1 percent annually as opposed to 3.4 percent indicated on page 59. 4. As discussed previously, ERADCO should be strongly encouraged to align their access road to the extension of Edmonds Ave. NE and participate jointly with Homecraft in making necessary improvements such as signalization and left turn channelization and widening. Otherwise, ERADCO should be conditioned to construct signalization, all channelization and widening improvements to accommodate a smooth access from their property to NE Third. Also, these improvements should align with the improvements at NE Third and Edmonds Ave. NE. 5. Although it is logical to assume that trip distribution patterns would be similar to other residential developments in the area, the analysis did not evaluate the change in trip distribution as a result of capacity constraints (i.e. N 3rd & Sunset) and the provision of new arterial access (i.e. Edmonds Ave. ) . 18 Dave Clemens Page 2 February 10, 1981 6. The development should be required to maintain the intersection of North 3rd and Sunset at the existing level of service. In other words, their project increases the capacity deficiency by 6% in the a.m. peak period and reduces available capacity by 8% in the p.m. peak period. Therefore, they should participate financially or otherwise in respective percentages to maintain the available capacity. Such improvements could include widening of North 3rd on the east leg, rechannelization and widening of Sunset on the north leg, as well as signal modifications and improvements at North 3rd and Sunset. 7. The EIS did not evaluate the increase in background traffic to be experienced by the time ERADCO' s project is complete. t should be pointed out that commonly accepted intersection design standards or urban areas allow for LOS C operation with LOS D permitted for short periods f time during the morning and afternoon peak hours. The intersection of North rd and Sunset operates LOS E during peak hour operation, which is ultimate apacity. Beyond this level of service the intersection will become jammed. e major constraint in improving the level of service at this intersection is the 1-405 bridge supports on North 3rd. The cost to widen this facility would be substantial. Also, traffic on I-405 would be seriously impacted during the removal of the old facility and construction of the new. However, if recent growth trends continue into the future at some point in time, it will be necessary to either widen the North 3rd approach to the intersection or develop major alternative access from the Highlands area to the commercial and industrial centers of the city. The proponents EIS states the proposed project will have a "relatively minor impact" on the operation of the intersection at North 3rd and Sunset. However, virtually all new developments have only a "relatively minor impact" although when they are all added together the impact becomes significant. Consequently, the city must receive from each development a portion of the overall cost of new improvements. The volume added to the intersection by the new development, though not significant in comparison to existing volumes, will essentially drop the inter- section into level of service F, which is forced flow. In other words, the tersection will become jammed. P for to project approval, the proponent should be required to mitigate in some f rm the impacts at North 3rd and Sunset, and access problems on NE 3rd at it point of access in conjunction with the Homecraft Development. r r GAN:ad 19 0 THE CITY OF RENTONc) 020,4 MUNICIPAL BUILDING 200 MILL AVE.

Persson RE: Eradco/Draft E. I.S. After reviewing the draft E. I.S. I have 5 major areasof concern that are mentioned in the impact statement. It would appear that the developer is not prepared to respond adequately to the mitigating measures suggested in the E. I .S. The mitigating measures that I am concerned with are: 1) Public Services: 1 A) Police Services - this development "will " have an impact on our ability to provide price services. However, the development could build in inexpensive devices that would mitigate the impact the development would have on our services. Devices are such things as: 1) Security locks 2) Security windows 3) Peep holes in doors 4) Properly placed lighting in the parking lot. 5) Large house numbers. 6) Prewired units for burglar alarm systems. B) The statement lists the current ratio of police officers 2_ inthe City of Renton at 2 per thousand when, in fact, the ratio is 1.7 officers per thousand. C) Street maintenance: The E. I.S. lists several mitigating measures that may be taken, however, the developer is not willing to comply with but one. I would suggest that the developer be required to do the following: 1) Build a grated area where the truck wheels could be washed prior to leaving the area (suggested mitigating measure on page 10) . 2) Be required to clean the streets at lease once a day and more often if deemed necessary by the street department or the police department. 22 OF RED THE CITY OF RENTON MUNICIPAL BUILDING 200 MILL AVE, SO.

(Trucks historically overload on weekends as most scale and truck weighing operations do not work weekends. ) 2) Noise Impacts: Again the developer does not appear to want to do 4 anything to mitigate the noise that would be created by the construction. I would recommend the following restrictions be placed on the construction. A) Work hours: Monday thru Friday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday & Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. only if they provide for police and building inspection on these days) B) Noisy operations should be scheduled so that they are not concurrent. C) Truck arrivals should be controlled to reduce vehicle con- gestion. D) Roadway improvements should be timed to alleviate congestion and reduce volumes on existing streets. 3) Transportation Circulation: This particular development will have 6 a tremendous impact on traffic and is the most important concern that I have. The development should not be allowed to proceed until the following areas are addressed. 23 OF R 0 THE CITY OF RENTON MUNICIPAL BUILDING 200 MILL AVE. SO. RENTON, WASH. 98055 o ' BARBARA Y.

B) Widening and installation of a left turn lane on NE 3rd 7 and the access roads. C) Installation of a traffic signal on NE 3rd. D) Participation in updating (or fine tuning) the inter- 9 section of NE 3rd and Sunset. E) Improving and paving the east shouldhof Sunset Blvd North ic; between the Maple Valley Hiway and North 3rd. This would allow for more storage capability on Sunset Blvd. North for those vehicles preparing to travel up North 3rd, and should help the congestion caused by afternoon rush hour. 4) The impact on the residents who live on Blaine NE presently. The II E.I.S. does not address the impact that this developement will have on Blaine NE and the difficulties that the residents living there will have gaining access/egress from their homes when the new development is completed. It would be my suggestion that Blaine NE be continued to the new access road so that these residents will have access to a signalized intersection to gain access to NE 3rd. 5) Emergency Access: The impact statement addresses the need to use I z Blaine NE as an emergency access to the development which is a necessity. However, for Blaine to be used as an emergency access it needs to be widened so that emergency vehicles can travel it safely. In its present condition, Blaine Ave NE is not adequate as an outbound vehicle could block an inbound emergency vehicle from gaining access to the proposed development. Thus, Blaine Ave. NE needs to be upgraded before it can be considered for emergency access to this development. if I can be of further help or if you wish further comments,; please feel free to contact me. 77/f4-,Liz—z_ P5incerely, Lt.

Persson 24 Response to Comments from the City of Renton Police Department Comment Number: 1 In response to the stated concerns regarding impacted police services, the miti- gations addressing police protection listed on pages 9, 73, and 104 of the Draft EIS are hereby augmented to read as follows: The developer should install the following devices in order to en- hance police protection for the proposed action: a. security locks b. security windows c. peepholes in doors d. appropriately placed lighting in parking lot e. large house numbers f. prewire units for burglar alarm system." Comment Number: 2 The final two sentences on page 71 of the Draft EIS are herby revised to read as follows: The present ratio of uniformed officers to population is about 1.7 officers for each 1,000 persons. This ratio is below the national average of 2.3 officers per 1,000 persons." Comment Number: 3 To reflect the statements concerning street maintenance, the following suggested mitigations are hereby added to the list of mitigations on pages 10, 81, and 105 of the Draft EIS as follows: The developer should clean the street at least once daily, or more often if deemed necessary by the City of Renton police or street maintenance department." The developer should post a $5,000.00 cash bond with the City to ensure compliance with the City's request for street clean- ing." Comment Number: 4 In response to the comment letter, item "c" under 'Noise-Mitigating Measures" on pages 5, 48 and 103 of the Draft EIS is hereby amended to read as follows: c) The hours of operation of construction equipment should be restricted to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday." Comment Number: 5 Comment noted. These suggested mitigating measures may be found on pages 5, 48 and 102-103 of the Draft EIS. 25 Response to Comments from Renton Police. Department, Continued. Comment Number: 5, Continued The City, at its discretion and in conformance with SEPA policies, will consider imposing these mitigating measures as possible conditions in association with the issuance of a building permit. Comment Number: 6 Please refer to the response to comment 4, letter from the Renton Public Works Department - Traffic Engineering, on page 20 of this document. Also, please refer to response to comment 1, letter from the Renton Engineering Department on page 31 of this EIS. Comment Number: 7 As indicated in the discussion of potential mitigations on pages 8, 69 and 104 of the Draft EIS, "N.E. Third Street could be widened at its intersection with the primary access road to accommodate left-turning vehicles." Comment Number: 8 As indicated in the discussion of potential mitigations on pages 8, 69 and 104 of the Draft EIS, "a traffic signal with 'volume-density' timing features would be installed at the intersection of the primary access road with N.E. Third Street." Comment Number: 9 On page C-21 of the Draft EIS it is confirmed that the efficiency of the intersec- tion of N.E. Third Street and Sunset Blvd. North would be increased" if the con- troller were replaced with a more modern unit with "volume-density' features for through movements on Sunset Blvd. North and if the detection locations were re- engineered. Comment Number: 10 Comment noted. The paving of the east shoulder of Sunset Blvd. North between N.E. Third Street and Maple Valley Highway would provide for more orderly traf- fic flow and convenience in the general area. The decision to require that such an improvement be made will occur in the plan approval process . Comment Number: 11 Traffic entering Blaine Avenue should experience negligible impacts since the bulk of traffic will come from the west and thus enter Blaine Avenue by making 26 Response to Comments from the Renton Police Department, Continued Comment Number: 11, Continued a right turn. Traffic exiting Blaine Avenue should find it somewhat easier to access N.E. Third Street (westbound) following the installation of a traffic signal at the primary access road and N.E. Third Street since the signal will provide occasional gaps in the traffic stream. Comment Number: 12 As indicated on page 86 of the Draft EIS, it will be necessary to install a loop water service system to be located in both Blaine Road and the entrance drive- way rights-of-way. When placement of this line is complete, Blaine Road would be improved to meet standards that would permit heavy fire equipment to safely utilize the roadway. In addition, curves would be designed to comply with the Fire Department's minimum radius requirements. 27 Traffic Engineering Department of the Renton Public Works Department. Comment Number: 1 Comment acknowledged. The project as proposed would consist of a maximum of 425 residential units. Comment Number: 2 The Institute of Transportation Engineers trip generation rates assume "average" quality of bus service on the basis of nationwide surveys. The Puget Sound Region has an excellent transit service when compared to most areas of the country. The auto-dependency of the residents of the proposed project could reduce, thereby reducing daily trip rates if in the future, Metro should decide to provide high- quality service and frequency to the vicinity of the project site. Comment Number: 3 The traffic growth rate (3.4%) as indicated in the report was determined on the basis of traffic characteristics from 1973 to 1978 (the latest traffic data avail- able at the time of report preparation) . Traffic growth rates are normally de- termined on the basis of long-term trends. Year to year growth characteristics are not particularly significant since they can be dramatically affected by un- usually coincident development, new roadway construction, fuel crisis, etc. The traffic growth rate on N.E. Third Street should remain in the vicinity of 3.4% on a long-term basis. Comment Number: 4 The ERADCO PUD has an established access road that has been constructed in ac- cordance with City locational requirements. The proponent proposes to improve the established roadway to meet City PUD Ordinance standards and provide access to the site. It would not be economical to abandon it in favor of a new road- way to coincide with Edmonds Avenue. However, a final determination as to the adequacy of this approach is required through the development approval process as specified in the rezone conditions. Alignment and precise configuration will be determined at that time. Comment Number: 5 There is very little liklihood of significant alteration in trip distribution patterns due to capacity constraints at N.E. Third Street and Sunset Blvd. since N.E. Third Street is the only viable roadway linking the site to major origins and destinations. The extension of Edmonds Avenue N.E. from N.E. Third Street to N.E. Fourth Street would alter trip patterns to some extent, however, that project would likely affect traffic patterns throughout the general vicinity and it is not possible to assess the resulting trip distributions without a more de- tailed traffic study. As a part of the PUD application, the proponent may be required to provide such a study. 20 Response to Comments from Traffic Engineering Department of the Renton Public Works Department (Continued) Comment Number: 6 The report provided extensive analysis and data on the present operating condi- tions at N.E. Third Street and Sunset Blvd. North. The City of Renton should de- termine the best method of improving the intersection that is consistent with their overall goals and objectives for the transportation system. The data pro- vided in the ERADCO EIS will provide the basis for conducting that investigation. The EIS recommends the installation of a "full-actuated volume-density" traffic signal controller to mitigate impacts at the subject intersection (Appendix C, P. 21 of the Draft EIS) . Comment Number: 7 There has been no specific schedule established for project implementation. The EIS provides daily trip rates for the proposed project as well as growth rates and estimates for future traffic volumes on N.E. Third Street. The impact of the proposal, as a percentage of background traffic, will gradually diminish as the background traffic increases; the future growth of traffic on the street system will be the result of increasing housing development, commercial development, and employment in the region. The proposed action will be a natural portion of this growth and as such will be a component part of the traffic growth as estima- ted in the EIS. 21 INTEROFFICE CORRESPONDENCE Date February 9 , 1981 To: Dave Clemens , Planning Department FROM: Don Monaghan , Engineering Department SUBJECT: Eradco Draft EIS After reviewing the Draft EIS for the Eradco Development , it should be pointed out that the long range plans for access to the site, which were addressed in your memorandum of February 5, 1981, were not incorporated into the draft document .

MAYOR • PLANNING DEPARTMENT 9q 235- 2550 0, 9gTEO SEFTv_tO MEMORANDUM February 5, 1981 TO: File FROM: Dave Clemens, Acting Planning Director Dick Houghton, Acting Public Works Director RE: HOMECRAFT SHORT PLAT ERADCO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT RAINIER SAND & GRAVEL MINING AND EXCAVATION PERMIT RE : EDMONDS AVENUE N.E. AND N.E. 3RD INTERSECTION Following a discussion on Friday, January 30th, the Planning and Public Works Departments have concluded the following as it relates to the intersection of Edmonds Avenue N.E. and I .E. 3rd Street. As of this date we have proposals from Homecraft for approximately 280 multiple family dwelling units and from ERADCO for approximately 425 multiple family units . The net effect of these two developments is to increase traffic flows on N.E. 3rd by in excess of 400 vehicles during peak hours , and 4500 vehicles per day. As a result, it is the conclusion of these departments that access from these two developments to N.E. 3rd Street must be in the form of a public street right-of-way developed to normal City street standards. These improvements should minimize or eliminate the impact of additional traffic on Bronson Way N.E. from the Homecraft development, and provide for access of the ERADCO project into the traffic stream on N.E. 3rd. GENERAL STANDARDS OF DESIGN Edmonds Avenue N.E. north of N.E. 3rd shall be constructed as part of the Homecraft Short Plat and multiple family develop- ment to include intersection improvements on N.E. 3rd providing for 5-lane street section with left turn channelization and a traffic signal providing for left turn movements at this intersection. The ERADCO PUD shall provide for the connection of Edmonds Avenue N.E. to N.E. 3rd Street, provide for 5-lane N.E. 3rd Street channelization including left turn lanes, and signalize the intersection. Likewise, the Rainier Sand ' Gravel mining , excavation and grading permit shall provide 29 9 Memorandum to File February 5, 1981 Page -2- for the dedication of the extension of Edmonds Avenue N.E. from N.E. 3rd to the ERADCO property. Since no development is proposed at this time in this grading permit application, only the right-of-way dedication will be required at this time. Future development of Edmonds Avenue N.E. extending southerly to Maple Valley Highway will be considered at a later time. PREFERRED ALTERNATIVES Since both the Homecraft and ERADCO multiple family developments will be required to install the public street linkage of Edmonds Avenue N.E. to N.E. 3rd, it is suggested that this intersection be a 4-way intersection located at the southerly terminus of the existing Edmonds Avenue right-of-way at N.E. 3rd. This will ensure the minimum widening, channelization and left turn lanes in N.E. 3rd. This proposal will also only require one traffic signal to be constructed. Both Homecraft and ERADCO should discuss distribution of the costs related to the intersection improvements and traffic signal installation. The ERADCO portion of the Edmonds Avenue extension would be constructed over the right-of-way provided by Rainier Sand & Gravel in its permit. Should the two applicants be unable to mutually agree to the necessary improvements at Edmonds and N.E. 3rd, two traffic signals located at approxi- mately 350 foot centers appears to be an acceptable alternative, although considerably more costly. MAPLE VALLEY EXTENSION OF EDMONDS AVENUE N.E. As a part of any development proposal for the Rainier Sand Gravel Co. site, extension of Edmonds Avenue N.E. southerly to provide connection to the Maple Valley Highway in the vicinity of the existing Gull gasoline service station should be provided. The alignment of this street right-of-way should be such that properties in the immediate vicinity can access to this street in order to provide access to Maple Valley Highway rather than the requirement to connect to the N.E. 3rd and N.E. 4th street corridors . cc : Dick Houghton Don Monaghan Gary Norris Ron Olsen Mayor Mike Parness Planning Department Staff DRC:yb 30 Response to Comments from the City of Renton Engineering Department Comment Number: 1 The memorandum of February 5, 1981, to which the comment letter alludes, has been inserted on page 29 of this Final EIS. This memo outlines the design standards that appear to be necessary as a result of the Homecraft development located between N.E. Third and N.E. Fourth Streets and the subject development located south of N.E. Third Street. In the review of the Homecraft development, it became apparent that the poten- tial existed for a conflict in the location and future utility of the Edmonds Avenue N.E. corridor in the immediate vicinity of these two sites. As a result of the proposed short plat and future development of the Homecraft site, Edmonds Avenue N.E. will be constructed to a new intersection approximately 350 feet easterly of the recently constructed access to property. As currently constructed and designed, the private access roadway now in place between N.E. Third Street and the property owned by Mount Olivet Cemetery would not meet the necessary standards of the subdivison ordinance of the City of Renton for proper access to the site. Under the applicable sections of the Planned Unit Development ordinance, the standards of the subdivision ordinance do not apply specifically; however, the necessity for adequate access, pedestrian walkways and other typical appurtenances of a public street would have to be met. The current design does not provide for these requirements, but the improvements will be made prior to commencement of construction activities. As noted in the restric- tive covenants (Appendix F of the Draft EIS) , "A primary access street shall be provided to the site from N.E. Third Street, subject to City of Renton approval of its design and location as a part of the total development plan." This re- view will be completed after the completion of this EIS process. If this current roadway is utilized to provide access to the subject development, two intersections of N.E. Third will be created in a span of less than 400 feet. As noted in the February 5th memo, this conflict could be eliminated with the implementation of an extension of Edmonds Avenue N.E. southerly from N.E. Third Street to a point where it can serve as the main access to the subject proposal. This action will require the current roadway located 350 feet to the west to be abandoned or relinquished to Mount Olivet Cemetery for permanent access. If abandoned, a single signalized intersection could be created which would elimin- ate the need for two such intersections within 400 feet of each other. The environmental consequences of using the extension of Edmonds Avenue N.E. for access to the subject development would include the necessity of constructing a new crossing over the drainage feature which is currently crossed by the pri- vate access driveway at the location of the proposed future access point. This construction would impact soils, vegetation, and groundwater quality in the same manner as the access proposed in the Draft EIS, on page 19. In the future, this extension of Edmonds Avenue could continue southeasterly to serve the properties lying in the general vicinity between N.E. Third Street and Maple Valley Highway and further, provide a secondary collector function which could potentially alleviate some of the congestion currently occurring at Sunset Blvd. and both N.E. Third Street and Maple Valley Highway. By providing 31 Response to Comments from the City of Renton Engineering Department, Continued Comment Number: 1, Continued a bypass for traffic which would otherwise be required to travel through these intersections to get from Maple Valley Highway to the Renton Highlands Plateau area, both congestion and trip mile could be reduced. The specific consequences of this extension of Edmonds Avenue N.E. will be considered either as part of the development of intervening property, or if proposed to be implemented prior to property development, a separate environmental impact assessment would be required. Comment Number: 2 The discharge from the on-site detention system is proposed to be transported down the steep greenbelt slope in a flume to the Maple Valley Highway where an energy dissipator structure will absorb the excess energy and release the water to an existing roadside ditch. This ditch will carry the water northwesterly to the entrance to an existing 24-inch pipe crossing the highway and thence southeasterly in the existing system to the river outfall. Detailed design and construction drawings will be prepared for City approval prior to any work being performed. 32 I I MEMORANDUM I FROM THE DESK OF , , , 2-13-81 I JIM MATTHEW FIRE MARSHAL ITO: DAVE CLEMENS, ACTING PLANNING DIRECTOR RE: E.I.S. - ERADCO P.U.D.

Wastewater Facilities/Water Quality We note the proposed development is within the service area of the Renton Treatment Plant. The Renton Treatment Plant is currently operating at "design" capacity with interim measures being taken to protect water quality. Metro is preparing a facilities plan for the Renton system with a grant from DOE and EPA. The Draft Plan was recently released for review and comment and contains a recommended program for upgrading the Renton system so that water quality and health will continue to be protected. As noted on page 87 of the DEIS, any direct connection to a Metro interceptor requires a certification (Metro Council Resolution No. 2933) that service is consistent with the local land use plans and policies of the affected jurisdictions. Mr. Bob Hirsch of Metro' s Water Quality Division coordinates the administration of Metro Council Resolution No. 2933 and should be contacted at 447-6577 should you have any questions regarding certification. The proposed drainage measures appear adequate and consistent with the objectives of the Areawide Water Quality Plan. 35 Mr. David Clemens DEIS/ERADCO Planned Unit Development February 24 , 1981 Page two Transportation We note the mention on p. 62 of placement of a bus shelter to encourage transit ridership. Staff of Metro ' s Transit Development Division are available to assist the proponent in this and other methods to IL encourage use of transit. Mr. Jerry Dow can assist in investigating service opportunities and facilities for transit patrons; he may be reached at 447-6627 . It should be noted, however, that there are only four trips per day in this area and further service is not planned in the next two years. Ms. B.J.

PRESENTLY BLAINE AVE N.E. EXITS ONTO N.E. 3RD ST. WEST OF THE PROPPOSED ACCESS TO THE DEVELOPMENT SITE. A SITUATION NOW EXISTS BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC VOLUME ON N.E. 3RD ST. WHERE ENTERING THE MAIN STREAM OF TRAFFIC 1. IS AT TIMES VERY DIFFICULT. WITH THE ADDITION OF MORE TRAFFIC, AND ALSO A TRAFFIC LIGHT A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY IT WOULD BE EVEN MORE DIFFICULT, AND DANGEROUS. BLAINE AVE. N.E. IS NOW A VERY NARROW ROAD IN NEED OF REPAIR, WITH NO FIRE HYDRANTS, AND A MINIMAL SOURCE OF WATER THROUGH A SMALL PIPE FROM MONTERY TERRACE. I FEEL THAT IF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS ALLOWED, THEN BLAINE AVE. N.E. SHOULD BE TIED INTO THE MAIN ACCESS ROAD AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND THE ROAD UPGRADED TO ACCOMODATE EMERGENCY TRAFFIC. ALSO AT THIS TIME THE CITY MIGHT CONSIDER CONSTRUCTION OF A SEWER TO SERVE THE AREA. 1ERI/S TRULY YOURS,, RAY BA,RkLEAUX RESIDENT, 154 BLAINE AVE. N.E. E. B. Brady 14.2 Blaine Avenue N. E. Renton, WA 98055 41 Response to Comments from Ray Barilleaux and E.B. Brady Comment Number: 1 It is acknowledged that present. traffic volumes on N.E. Third Street render access from Blaine Road hazardous and difficult. However, the installation of a traffic control signal at the intersection of N.E. Third Street and the site's entrance driveway would not exacerbate this condition. Rather, it is likely that such a signal would produce gaps in the downstream traffic flow, thereby increas- ing the efficiency of the Blaine Road exit. Comment Number: 2 As indicated on page 86 of the Draft EIS, it will be necessary to install a loop water service system to be located in the rights-of-way of both Blaine Road and the entrance driveway. When placement of this line is complete, Blaine Road would be improved to meet standards that would permit heavy fire and emergency equipment to safely utilize the roadway. In addition, curves would be designed to comply with the fire department's minimum radius requirements. Comment Number: 3 As stated on page 87 of the Draft EIS, sewer facilities will be provided to the site with the installation of an 8-inch line down the bluff along the southwest side of the site. This pipe will tie directly into the Metro sewer trunk loca- ted along Maple Valley Highway. 42 TO: Planning Director Marc, 6, 1981 municipal Building 200 Mill Avenue Soutw Renton, Waswington 9805, FROM: William L.

N Renton, Waswington 9805: 43 Response to Comments from William L. Cokely Comment Number: 1 The Draft EIS does enumerate several impacts resulting from project implementation which would adversely affect the residents of Monterey Terrace. The most signif- icant adverse impact on the nearby community would be the construction noise, the effects of which are discussed in full on pages 89 and 90 of the Draft EIS. Miti- gations for these impacts are listed on pages 5, 48, and 103-104 of the Draft EIS. 2 . The impact on views from the single family residences abutting the site is noted on page 91 of the Draft EIS. Although no view blockage would occur, the open space presently existing on the site would be replaced with residential develop- ment. The landscaping buffer proposed to be planted between Monterey Terrace and the northeast portion of the site is anticipated to mitigate this alteration in view. Similarly, impacts of light and glare generated from the proposed residen- tial development are expected to be largely mitigated by this landscaping buffer, as well as by distance. (Page 49 of the Draft EIS.) The impacts of an additional 2,546 vehicle trips per day to be generated from project implementation are discussed on pages 60-69 of the Draft EIS. It is stated that all the parking demand associated with the development is anticipated to be accomodated on-site, thereby not impacting the residents of Monterey Terrace. However, the intersection of N.E. Third Street and Sunset Blvd. would be moder- ately impacted during the morning peak hour and project related traffic would add 160 vehicles to the intersection during the evening peak hour. Residents of Monterey Terrace who utilize the intersection at these times of day may perceive the resulting increased congestion. 44 2611 N.E. 4 St. #234 Renton, Wash. 98055 March 6, 1981 David Clemens, Director Planning Department City of Renton 300 Mill Avenue South Renton, Wash. 98055 Re: Eradco Project Dear Mr. Clemens, On behalf of the Vantage Point Condominium Owners Association, I should like to call to your attention some con- cerns about the Eradco Project proposal and its effect on the Renton Highlands community. Although this project is not immediately adjacent to Vantage Point, the proposed ingress/egress for Eradco residents would be the N.E. 3rd Street corridor. It is a known fact that traffic at the junction of N:E. 3rd St. and Sunset has alreadyreachedLevel "F" capacity - or 18% over the maximum for which it was designed. The Developer of Eradco claims that the 425 units in his project would "only" add another 6% impact to the traffic flow. Presumably, these aforementioned percentages are based on current, actual traffic densities - plus the estimated Eradco impact. However, I should like to call attention to the many vehicles about to increase the traffic flow from projects under construction dr are at various stages of development : Homecraft: N.E. 3rd/N.E.4th and Edmonds N.E. 280 units proposed Highbury Park: Edmonds N.E. & N.E. 4th 97 lots 21 homes presently under construction Hilltop Apts . : 158 units Mastro Development : 244 units In addition to the actual and proposed number of vehicles using (or about to use) the N.E.3rd St. corridor, I understand that Homecraft, in its proposal, wishes to extend Edmonds Ave .N.E. between N.E. 3rd and N.E. 4th to permit its project owners ingress/ egress directly on to N.E. 3rd. In order to do this , they are rec- ommending a turn lane (left turn going East) at what will become the corner of Edmonds N.E. (extended) and N.E. 3rd. In addition also, Eradco proposes a similar turn lane left turn going West) at what will become the corner entrance to the Mount Olivet Cemetery Road and N.E. 3rd St. to give its project residents access (ingress when traveling West) . 45 2- Both Homecraft and Eradco are proposing traffic lightsinadditiontotheseturnlanes . Although I can understand the logic of these two developers on behalf of their future purchasers,I fail to see how two additional traffic lights coupled with two additional turn lanes (within several hundreds of feet of each Z other) will help to increase the smoothness of the traffic flow and mitigate this traffic problem. Apparently an even greaterhindrancetobothEast-West flow of through traffic would be created by even one of these Developers being permitted to pursuethisplan, let alone two Developers doing so. According to an estimate of traffic to be generated bytheEradcoProject (Renton Record-Chronicle 2/4/81) , 2,546 vehicletripsper. day was listed. Presumably, this accounts only for reg-ular commuter traffic. However, with a project this large (425units) , there needs to be a consideration of daily school bustrafficandservicevehicles, as well as occasional public vehicles 3 police, fire, ambulance, etc. ) , thereby bringing the total ofregularvehiculartripstoaconsiderablyhigherfigure. Also, when considering school bus traffic in peak morning drive time,consideration must be given to the stop and go effect on all 44trafficinbothdirectionsduringstudentpickup. Aside from traffic problems, the other major concern I wish to present relates to the increased burden on city services :i.e. fire, police, schools, hospitals, etc. , which according toEradco 's impact statem6nt, would be negligible. Eradco sees "noadditionalneedfortheexpansionoftheseservices . " 5` This latter conclusion is irresponsible and preposterous.As a professional public school employee, I can attest to the factthateachadditionalchildinaschoolcreatesanimpactonservices .The necessity of creating new school bus routes where none existedbeforeisasignificantcaseinpoint. ) In conclusion, I suggest that the various major impactsthatthedevelopmentoftheEradcoProject (as proposed) wouldcreateseriousproblemsandhardshipsforthecommunityandCity 6 services, thless some of the possible solutions (particularlytraffic) are addressed PRIOR to development. Sincerely, Malka Pricks, President Vantage Point Condominium Owners Association 46 Response to Comments from Malka Fricks, President of the Vantage Point Condominium Owners Association Comment Number: 1 The comments related to the impacts of development both within the city limits, and beyond is well taken. The question of whether to limit future development is both an environmental and policy issue. This and other EISs can assess their levels of environmental impacts. However, a decision as to whether these impacts are of sufficient magnitude to warrant denial of permits for further development must be made at the policy level by the appropriate legislative body. It is apparent from the information available in the ERADCO PUD Draft EIS that the future consequences of growth and development in this general vicinity and easterly of the East Renton Plateau will continue to adversely affect traffic cir- culation. As a result, those secondary environmental consequences of increased noise, air pollution, energy utilization and the cost of congestion upon the lo- cal economy will continue to increase. As stated in this Draft EIS, the current traffic volumes at N.E. Third Street and Sunset Blvd. are at a level of service D. The implementation of this pro- posal will add 6-7% additional traffic, while other developments within the City in the vicinity of this subject site will add an additional 4000+ daily trips to this corridor over the next several years. At the same time, the level of traf- fic increase as a result of permits issued in King County have been adding an average of 3 to 5% increase in daily trips each year. The result is a continuing and complex series of traffic and related secondary environmental impacts which apparently have few immediate solutions beyond minor short-term relief. The Environmental Review Committee, Hearing Examiner and City Council must consider these consequences in the plan review process for this and any future development in this immediate area. Comment Number: 2 For a detailed discussion of proposed traffic improvements for the intersection of the primary access road and N.E. Third Street, please refer to the response to comment 1, letter from Renton Engineering Department on page 31 of this docu- ment. Comment Number: 3 The traffic consultant utilized the trip generation rates for various residential uses provided in the "Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual" published in 1976. The recommended average weekday trip generation rates of 6.1 trips per day per apartment unit and 5.6 trips per day per condominium unit do not apply solely to commuter traffic. These figures account for all associated ve- hicle traffic, including emergency, service and public vehicles. 47 Response to Comments from Malka Pricks, President of the Vantage Point Condominium Owners Association, Continued Comment Number: 4 Comment noted. The discussion of traffic impacts during the morning peak hour on page 64 of the Draft EIS is hereby amended to include the following: The ERADCO PUD could potentially contain about 258 school-aged children who would be relying upon bus transportation to and from school. On N.E. Third Street, morning bus pickup, which coincides with the morning peak hour, would momentarily disrupt traffic flow in both directions when children are boarding the bus . Afternoon school bus service oc- curs prior to the evening peak hour, and thus would affect a traffic flow of considerably reduced volume." Comment Number: 5 In the preparation of this Draft EIS, representatives of the fire and police departments, the school district and Valley General Hospital were apprised of the nature and scope of the proposed ERADCO PUD. Those individuals assessed the potential impacts of the development on their respective public services and indicated to the consultant the degree of impact, as well as the extent of expansion of personnel and/or equipment that would be necessary. It is important to note that additional population can have an impact on a spe- cific service without creating the need for expansion of those services in terms of personnel and equipment. Commment Number: 6 The intent of the EIS process is to identify potential adverse impacts resulting from a specific development and recommend pertinent mitigations to minimize those impacts. The Draft and Final EISs for the ERADCO PUD fulfill this pur- pose. It will be the responsibility of the decisionmaker to decide which miti- gations will be imposed as a condition of project approval. 48 February 26, 1981 The Monterey Club 118 Monterey Club Renton, Washington 98055 David R. Clemens, Acting Planning Director The City of Renton Municipal Building 200 Mill Ave. South Renton, Washington 98055 Dear Mr. Clemens, In response to your letter of January 30, 1981, concerning a planned unit development by ERADCO, our Monterey Club met and disi:ussed the Environmental Impact statement. As a result of that meeting, we :'eel that the following concerns be given the highest consideration. That a covenant be included to exclude Blaine Avenue from being used by construction vehicles-that it be used for emergency access only. That the sewer and water systems be separate and not tied in with the present Monterey Terrace system. Z. That the newly constructed signal light at the primary access road and Third Avenue.North be syncronized 3 with the existing signal light at Monterey Dr. N.E. and Third Avenue to allow an even flow of traffic. That the caliber of the newly constructed buildings and houses be compatible with those existing in 4 Monterey Terrace-that they compliment each other in general appearance. That the set-back or buffer zone between the two areas 5beofsufficientwidthandproperlymaintainedbythe development company. That a foot trail be constructed from the new development to Maple Valley Highway for easy access to the park grounds area-to ease the possibility of 6 new tennants cutting through Monterey Terrace properties. Sincerely, 11%/1.-ed Richard M. Houser, r sident Monterey Club 49 Response to Comments from Richard M. Houser, President of The Monterey Club Comment Number: 1 As stated on page 119 of the Draft EIS, the primary access road will be used for heavy construction equipment and that only small vehicles would use the Blaine Avenue N.E. access. Comment Number: 2 As discussed on pages 86 and 87 of the Draft EIS, independent water and sewer services would be installed to serve the proposed action. Comment Number: 3 It is recommended that the proposed traffic signal be a full-actuated volume- density signal as is the existing signal at Monterey Drive and N.E. Third Street. This type of operation provides the most efficient and safe operation in the case where the volumes on intersecting streets are significantly dissimilar. The proposed traffic signal would provide preferential service to N.E. Third Street and would be less likely to arbitrarily terminate service to traffic on N.E. Third Street than would a synchronized traffic signal. Comment Number: 4 The configuration of zoning densities throughout the site, as illustrated on page 52 of the Draft EIS, ensures that low density development (a maximum of 9 dwelling units per acre) would be constructed on the portion of the site ad- jacent to Monterey Terrace. All buildings within this R-1 zone would be attached "row house" type structures, with a maximum of five dwelling units in each building. No building would ex- ceed 25 feet in height. The exterior building materials will consist of natural wood and stucco. Comment Number: 5 Comment noted. A 25-foot wide landscaping buffer to be maintained by the pro- ponent will be planted between Monterey Terrace and the R-1 portion of the site. Comment Number: 6 A mitigating measure suggesting that a walking trail be constructed through the greenbelt to provide pedestrian access to Cedar River Park has been included on pages 10, 80 and 105 of the Draft EIS. Implementation of such a measure could be imposed by the decisionmaker as a condition of project approval. 50 ftfl.

Theodore H.Gathe,P.S. Seth M.("Kelly")Fulcher,Jr. March 4, 1981 Planning Department City of Renton Municipal Building 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, Washington 98055 Attention: David R. Clemens Re: Draft Environmental Impact Statement Eradco - Planned Unit Development Dear Mr. Clemens: We represent American Memorial Services, Inc. whose wholly owned subsidiary is Mount Olivet Cemetery. Sometime ago, American Memorial Services granted an easement to Kent Highlands which easement extended from Northeast Third Avenue easterly to property then owned by Kent Highlands. That property was subsequently conveyed to Eradco and comprises the PUD which is the subject of the above- mentioned draft EIS. Eradco has repeatedly promised American Memorial Services that it would construct a roadway extending from Northeast Third accross Mount Olivet property to the Eradco site. Construction of this site constituted the con- sideration for granting the easement and Eradco' s failure to construct said road has hampered Mount Olivet's reclamation plans and caused loss of substantial revenues from its fill and grade operation. American Memorial Services and Mount Olivet have no choice but to institute suit against Eradco to vacate the easement and to seek damages. The draft EIS describes access from Northeast Third Street as the "primary" access to the Eradco property. (See page 60 - draft EIS ) . The alternative access extending from the Maple Valley Highway to the south portion of the subject site is described in the EIS as being "econmically and ' environmentally unviable" (see page 99 - EIS) . Destruction of a long strip of major vegetation in the greenbelt area between the subject site and the Maple Valley Highway is unacceptable according to the draft EIS. (See page 41) . In addition to the items mentioned above, the excessively steep grade (see page 31) and the question of stability of the soil and erosion problems (see page 33) seem to rule out the possibility of using the alternate access route. 4111 East Madison Street SeattleWashington 98112 206/328-2204 Planning Department March 4 , 1981 Page Two Eradco's propectus for the sale of limited partnership shares (known as Monterey Terrace Associates) lists Northeast Third and the easement route as the only access to the property. Likewise, on page 19 of the draft EIS, it is stated that the easterly access route will be prepared for heavy construction vehicles however no mention is made as to whether or not the alternate access route would be suitable for use by such heavy construction vehicles and machinery. If the easement in question is vacated by the court, 1. Eradco' s primary access route will not be available. The draft EIS neither raises the possibility that the primary access would be unavailable nor fully addresses all impacts associated with using the Maple Valley route as the major access. With regard to water conditions, American Memorial Services challenges the adequacy of the EIS ' s analysis con- tained on pages 38-39. There is surface water on the site in addition to seasonal ponding at the southeast corner. The northeast portion of the property in the R3 and R4 zones contains springs which together with rainfall absorption flow in a northerly-northeasterly direction. This flow is , in part, a source of recharging the ground water in the Segale pit area. The flow from that pit, both surface and ground water, forms the water supply for Mount Olivet. Loss of water absorption through construction of impermeable sur- faces and destruction and/or redirection of underground springs could affect Mount Olivet ' s water. None of these considerations appear in the EIS. In addition, while discussion of buffer areas may be 3confinedtotheplannedunitdevelopment, there is no indi- cation in the draft EIS as to how Mount Olivet Cemetery will be properly buffered from the Eradco development. Please advise me of the public hearing date with regard to this draft EIS . Very truly yours, THEODORE H. GATHE, P.S . I By 4(2ir -- r` Theodore H.

Comment Number: 3 To reflect the concern about screening of the proposal from Mount Olivet Cemetery, the following information is hereby added to the discussion of "Aesthetics - Impacts" on page 91 of the Draft EIS as follows: The cemetery adjacent to the north is screened from the subject site both by its increased elevation and by several existing trees which will remain upon development. In addition, some landscaping will be planted along that perimeter of the site, which will act to somewhat buffer the cemetery from the proposed action." 57 LETTERS NOT REQUIRING RESPONSES 58 HT Of United States Department of the Interior FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Ecological Services 2625 Parkmont Lane, S.W. , Bldg.

Excerpt of Draft Wastewater Management Plan for the Lake Washington/Green River Basins. B. Ground Water Evaluation by Rittenhouse-Zeman & Associates, Inc. 63 Appendix A DRAFT WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE LAKE WASHINGTON/GREEN RIVER BASINS DECEMBER, 1980 MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN SEATTLE 64 Interim Measures to Protect Water Quality. The four final alterna- tives identified in the Draft Plan all entail major construction activities which are scheduled for completion in 1985. During this construction period Renton treatment plant average wet weather flows are projected to increase from 41 mgd to '50 mgd, excluding the Redmond Connection. Bringing the Redmond Connec- tion on line prior to the completion of the Phase 1 expansion levels are brought down to an acceptable standard. Ammonia, on the other hand, is a more complex problem requiring the use •of measures which are less readily implemented. Many of the ammonia reduction measures identified below and summarized inFigure4-5a require long lead times, are capital intensive and provide only marginal reductions in ammonia discharges to the river. While few readily implementable solutions are available, Metro recognizes the need to reduce ammonia discharges in order to protect the river' s fisheries resource. As a result, the ammonia reduction measures are grouped into two categories. The first, Measures to be Implemented, " contains those actions which are currently being undertaken to reduce the ammonia problem.The second group, "Additional Measures Available, " represents measures which could be implemented should additional protectionbenecessaryinthefuture. Measures to be Implemented 1) Fast Track Implementation of Plant Expansion - Construction of the aeration system combined with chemical 'addition in the primary system could allow nitrification of all the effluent, significantly reducing ammonia discharges . This measure is being implemented as an interim measure. 2) Diversion of Flow via Sludge Force Mains - Approximately2mgdofsludgemixedwithpartiallytreatedwastewater are sent through force mains to the West Point treatment plantforsolidsprocessing. Modifications are currently beingmadetothesludgeforcemainstodivertanadditional3 mgd of partially treated wastewater to the West Point system. This measure will reduce wastewater and ammonia discharges to the river during the 1981 summer low flow period. 3) Reduce Summer Flushing - Metro, as well as a number of local sewer agencies, flushes collection lines during summer months to prevent sedimentation. This action results in the dilution of ammonia found in the wastewater. While summer flushing itself does not affect the plant' s ammoniadischarge, it does reduce the effectiveness of any diversion measures intended to reduce ammonia levels in the river. Plans call for reducing the use of flushing in order to maximize the effectiveness of the sludge force main diver- sion in the summer of 1981. Additional Measures Available 1) Interim vitrification with Existing Facilities - Modifications could be made to the treatment plant to nitrify a portion of the wastewater to reduce ammonia discharge. 2) Construct Special Nitrification Facilities - Ammonia stripping, roughing filters, and breakpoint chlorination could be used 65 would further increase flow by an additional 4 mgd. Recognizing that the existing treatment plant is operating in excess of its design capacity and water quality problems currently exist in the Duwamish River, the question arises as to what measures can be implemented to cope with these projected flows and maintain an acceptable level of water quality while design and construc- tion of the expanded facility is under way. As previously mentioned in this chapter, several measures are available to the treatment plant staff to reduce BOD and sus- pended solid levels during periods of excessive flow. These measures, consisting of wastewater storage, alum addition, effluent blending and biological "stressing, " have proven effec- tive in meeting the plant ' s NPDES permit requirements in the past and are anticipated to continue to do so during the interim period prior to completion of the Phase 1 expansion. Metro recognizes that the effectiveness of these measures is dependent upon sufficient funding to assure that adequate staffing, equipment and chemicals are provided to optimize treatment plant performance. Throughout the upcoming construction period Metro is committed to the use of these measures in a manner which max- imizes the existing plant ' s performance with respect to BOD and suspended solids removals. While the above measures should prove adequate to maintain BOD and suspended solids within the requirements of the NPDES permit during the critical low flow periods , they cannot assure that permit limits will be met throughout the year. Process upset triggered by excessive wastewater flows will continue to result in occasional violations of the permit ' s requirements , especially during the winter months . As wastewater flows increase through 1985, the frequency of these violations can be expected to increase. The impact on water quality in the Duwamish River due to these violations should be negligible, as their occurrence will coincide with high river flows which should provide suffi- cient assimilative capacity to accept these increased wastewater loads. Other water quality problems in the river which have been attri- buted in part to the plant ' s wastewater discharge include ammonia , dissolved oxygen, temperature, residual chlorine, nitrate, toxi- cants and effluent dilution ratios. These parameters are not significantly affected by the measures currently used to maintain acceptable BOD and suspended solids discharge levels and will remain a water quality concern until effluent is removed from the river by completion of the Phase 1 program. Two of these parameters, chlorine and ammonia, pose a potential threat to the river ' s fisheries resource requiring that measures be taken to reduce their levels through the interim construction period. The other parameters , while of long term concern, pose no immediate threat during the interim period . The chlorine problem is quite easily remedied, and steps have been taken to modify the plant ' s chemical feed system to ensure 12 ?- 66 MM FIGURE: 4-5e.

Should it prove effective,its impact would be in the reduction of future anuuonialevels. to significantly reduce ammonia discharges . These capital intensive measures would have little utility upon completion of, the Phase 1 program. 3) Use of Kent/Auburn Lagoons - The existing lagoons could be used for nitrification of flows from the Auburn Interceptor. Upon completion of lagoon treatment, wastewater would be discharged to the Auburn Interceptor thus reducing the treatment plant' s ammonia load. 4) Diversion of Flow via Riverton/Renton Pump Station - This capital intensive measure could divert 10 mgd to the West' Point system via a new force main system. The facility by itself would be of little utility after completion of the Phase 1 program. 5) Diversion of Effluent for Land Disposal - This measure calls for diverting approximately half the plant' s flow to a land disposal site of approximately 2 , 750 acres . 6) Local Agency Infiltration Control - Excessive infiltration results in the dilution of ammonia found in wastewater. The rehabilitation of collection systems having excessive infiltration, by itself, would not reduce the ammonia problem. However, in combination with a diversion measure it does act to maximize the effectiveness of that measure by diverting additional ammonia from the river. ` 7) Water Conservation - Water conservation programs by local water purveyors would concentrate ammonia found in wastewater. Water conservation, by itself, would not reduce ammonia levels in the river. However, in combination with a diver- sion measure, water conservation would maximize a diversion ' s effectiveness. 3) Interim River Flow Augmentation - Additional water could be released from Howard Hanson Dam during critical low flow periods to flush the estuary of ammonia and prevent the occurrence of toxic ammonia levels . 9) Fisheries Resource Protection - A number of measures might be implemented to protect the fisheries resource from the ammonia problem. These might include physical diversion of fish or implementation of replacement measures in the event of a fish kill. 10) Sewer Moratorium - A moratorium on building and/or sewer construction within the Renton service area would not reduce existing ammonia levels; however, if effective, it would slow the pace of further increases. While few of the above measures in and of themselves solve the ammonia problem, combinations of these measures can adecuately_ protect the river' s fisheries resource through the interim 126- 68 construction period. It is important to note that these interim measures do not represent an alternative to the four final pro- grams presented in this Draft Plan. They simply represent options which are available to alleviate the most critical water quality problem in the river at the present time while construc- tion of the ultimate solution is completed. With increasing wastewater flow the interim measures to reduce ammonia presented here will become ever more expensive and less effective. The key is to minimize the length of time the river is vulnerable to the ammonia problem by completing the Phase 1 expansion as soon as is practical. 1 1 1 1 127- 69 Appendix B RITTENHOUSE-ZEMAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.

At the request of Ms. Susan Prentke, of Urban Properties, we have visited the su•ject parcel and the adjacent Mount Olivet Cemetery. We have also reviewed water well data collected by the State of Washington' s Department of Ecology. This letter summarizes our findings and conclusions, concerning ground water co ditions in the vicinity of the development. Generally, the Mount Olivet Cemetery property is at a higher elevation than the immediately adjacent protion of the P.U.D. As a result, surface water drains from the cemetery toward your development or the property to the west. Because there is a deep ravine north of the cemetery, followed by N.E. Third Street, surface waters do not reach the cemetery from the north. Gravel borrow oper- ations east of your parcel and the cemetery intercept surface runoff from the east. Well log data, indicates that the ground water table generally slopes downward from the northeast to the south and southwest. In addition, the only water which we observed in the northeast portion of the site, appeared to be perched on areas which have been "mudded up" by truck traffic. What evidence of sur- ficial drainage we could observe, indicated that surface runoff flows to the south, toward the Cedar River. 70 B-2 ERADCO W-3601 17 April 1981 Page Two Based on these observations, we do not anticipate that development of this site should appreciably impact, the Mount Olivet Cemetery's water supply.

Blaylock Zoning Administrator City of Renton Municipal Building 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, WA 98055 Re: ERADCO/MONTEREY TERRACE ASSOCIATES rezone (R-077-82) Dear Mr. Blaylock: From a review of your letter of January 28th, 1985 , we noted that while our rezone file would be kept open until July 1, 1985 as requested, an update of the general information in the EIS would be necessary and a March meeting might be necessary in order to review the rezone application process. Unfortunately the pending sale of the KENT HIGHLANDS PROPERTIES to Marsh Investment Co. , with whom we had resolved the problem of the road straightening change to Edmonds and development of the MONTEREY TERRACE PROPERTY, fell apart. Renegotiations with KENT HIGHLANDS to resolve the several matters relating to the legal actions dragged on without final solution. The KENT HIGHLANDS PROPERTIES are once again involved in a sales negotiation which could well resolve the matters which have delayed our pursuit of the rezone without resort to the courts and reopening of the old Colt lawsuits and the question of temporary and per- manent road easement representations. 18000 Pacific Highway South, Suite 1115, Seattle, Washington 98188 (206) 2)4-0080 o May 13, 1985 Rojer J.

Kaufman, In December 1982 , I was informed by the Building & Zoning Department that a new application for rezone was received on December 3, 1982 . They suggested on December 6 . 1982 , that I would be interested in the file. Upon ex- amination of the file at City Hall , I was informed by Mr . Nelson that even though application was submitted by ERADCO and was in the City ' s possession , it had not been "formally accepted" by the City and was not complete . At this time, the administrative processing section of the application was totally blank, as were references to existing zoning . I requested that the City notify Mt . Olivet upon formal acceptance" and was assured that we would be . Fur- ther, I disussed the application and existing litigation regarding the City and zonirg policy in Superior Court and 17as informed by Mr . Nelson t . ,r>>til Mr . Lorry Warren re- vi ,-coed the • jttet , the apptic_: tion "would not he accepted . " mhseauei.t l scussic.ns vit ! Mr . lb December 1982 cnd January 1983 , we were again . nformed it had not been accepted and he related it had been discussed with Mr . War- ren, with no action being taken. On January 6th , while examing files regarding ERADCO at City Hall , I was informed verbally that the application was formally accepted" and that an ERC meeting had been held the day before with a "determination" that a Memorandum of t; ncurrance was being issued today , January 6, 1983 . I was rovided the attached draft a=. the representation of the decision" but without signa.ture , as it had yet to be typed . This draft is the "Memorandum of Concurrance" as represented by the following department personnel who were . present : Mr . Ron Nelson , Mr . Jerry Lind and Mr . Roger Blaylock .

Kaufman documents in the file were copied and certified as to auth- enticity by the City Clerk, at 9 : 30 am on January 6 , 1983 . We are appealing the following actions by unknown department beads or unknown persons employed by the City of Renton : 1 . Formal notice of acceptance of application has been neither dated , signed or initialed by the unknown City official . 2 . Mr . Dave Clemens , when asked , stated that he did not knew who accepted the application. The failure to formally c.cept and notify is an error in law . 3 . The certified copy with no acceptance indicated by si Tnature , date or initial is attached . 4 . No notification of "formal acceptance" of application was sent to applicant . 5 . No notification of acceptance was sent to Mt . Olivet , James Colt , Bulchis & Garrison or any parties of record in this rezone application or the attorneys of record regarding the lawsuit over the rezone property and ordinances govern- ing the property (#3113 . ) 6 . Mt . Olivet and any interested adjacent property own- ers have been denied rights to challenge the sufficiency of the application itself and further the right to be allowed to be heard and to comment on the application and any file documents due to failure to provide notice . As of the 6th of January , 1963 at 9 : 30 am, the Master i i cation has not been prc'per' L 7ceat L; by the City of r : and until it is formally accepted , no action should Lice . This may be an oversight by the City but 11 is error in law and should be corrected and application for- i I .• _: 'cepted prior to any further action, with notice of iornal acceptance sent to any interested parties and parties c2: rE-cord and applicant . By way of further appeal , Mt . Olivet further contends that the determination by the Utility Engineering Department ' s Mr . Olson is totally incorrect and an error in fact based on the file and records in the ERADCO files . Mt . Olivet will introduce testimony , exhibits , maps , expert witnesses and other supporting information" at the appeal hearing . As Mr . Olson ' s "Interpretation/Determination" was made on January 4 , 1983 (see attached exhibit) our appeal of his Page 3 . January 6 , 1983 Mr . Kaufman interpretation of the environmental impacts is made in a timely manner . By way of further appeal , Mt . Olivet will introduce testimony , exhibits , maps , expert witnesses and other sup- porting information" in appealing each of the environmental findings or interpretations by the appropriately noted staff member" based on the records and files in the City rf Renton as being improper, incorrect , an error in fact nd having a potential detrimental "effect" on adjacent property owners and other interested parties .

Robert Hufnagle , Recreation Supr . Refers to a Thorpe Report which is not part of the application or included for examination in the file available to the public .

Jc-es Hansen , i irector and Author- ized representative of City of Renton, Building Department ; signed on December 28 , 1982 , the "Development Application Review Sheet" approving the application without conditions or comments . By way of further appeal , neither the application or any file documents indicate the Restrictive Covenants which are supposedly in effect at this time and since 1977 , which effect both the zoning and development of the properties . The Restrictive Covenants must be considered with the appli- cation for rezone as they run with the property . Further , the Rezone Certificate issued by Transamerica indicates 41/11 410 Page 4 . January 6 , 1983 Mr . Kaufman easement roadways running with the property, one of which is in current litigation , which must be addressed during the review process . Mr . Dave Clemens of the Policy Department , recommends approval with conditions . Mt . Olivet appeals his decisions and interpretations tl.c adequacy ant will provide expert testimony and exhibits addressing the determinations . Mr . Clemens further disregarded the Restrictive Cove- nants which directly address access routes and other related matters to this application in his determination or inter- pretation . Mt . Olivet further appeals the determination of Mr . Ronald Olsen of the Utility Department , made on January 4, 1983 , in approving with conditions, as attached (see exhibit 1.") - his required Late Comers Agreements for sewer, water ud other ut .'_ ic . :,ar es , may violate the easement agree- ent referred t in the rezone file, Transamerica Rezone Certificate , , 1 ccudd violate the rights of third parties under these and ether agreements . Further testimony , doc- uments and exhibits will be provided at the Hearing .

The Environmental Review Committee does have some necessary action to update the general information in the EIS based upon a Hearing Examiner decision back in 1984.

This closes out the environmental review account for the project. The rezone application, R-077-82, is still pending. However, there has been no activity on ypur part since January of 1983. We would appreciate some action on your part to clarify the situation. If written directions are not received from your company by Janu3ry 15, 1985, we will consider the file inactive and request that the Land Use Hearing Examiner dismiss the application.

Dear Madam Mayor and Members of the Council : Please be advised that the lawsuit brought against the City by Mt. Olivet Cemeteries has been dismissed. Once the Council passed an ordinance downzoning the property, at the date required by the Restrictive Covenants , the action was moot. For some reason the attorneys for the various parties would not agree to sign the order dismissing the case and so we had to bring on a formal motion before the Court. That was done and the Order dismissing the City from the action was signed on February 28 , 1983 . Interestingly enough, Mt. Olivet Cemeteries , Eradco and Kent-Highlands Corporation are still involved in a lawsuit over the way in which this initial suit arose. However, the City has been able to extricate itself from their in-fighting. Should you need any further details on this matter, please feel free to contact me. Lawrence J.

They suggested on December 6, 1982 , that I would be interested in the file. Upon ex- amination of the file at City Hall , I was informed by Mr. Nelson that even though application was submitted by ERADCO and was in the City ' s possession , it had not been "formally accepted" by the City and was not complete . At this time, the administrative processing section of the application was totally blank, as were references to existing zoning . I requested that the City notify Mt . Olivet upon formal acceptance" and was assured that we would be . Fur- ther , I disussed the application and existing litigation regarding the City and zoning policy in Superior Court and was informed by Mr. Nelson that until Mr . Larry Warren re- viewed the matter , the application "would not be accepted . " In subsequent discussions with Mr . Nelson in December 1982 and January 1983 , we were again informed it had not been accepted and he related it had been discussed with Mr . War- ren , with no action being taken. On January 6th , while examing files regarding ERADCO at City Hall , I was informed verbally that the application was formally accepted" and that an ERC meeting had been held the day before with a "determination" that a Memorandum of Concurrance was being issued today, January 6, 1983 . I was provided the attached draft as the representation of the decision" but without signatures , as it had yet to be typed . This draft is the "Memorandum of Concurrance" as represented by the following department personnel who were present : Mr . Ron Nelson, Mr . Jerry Lind and Mr . Roger Blaylock.

January 6, 1983 Mr. Kaufman documents in the file were copied and certified as to auth- enticity by the City Clerk, at 9 : 30 am on January 6 , 1983 . We are appealing the following actions by unknown department heads or unknown persons employed by the City of Renton: 1 . Formal notice of acceptance of application has been neither dated , signed or initialed by the unknown City official. 2 . Mr . Dave Clemens , when asked , stated that he did not know who accepted the application. The failure to formally accept and notify is an error in law. 3 . The certified copy with no acceptance indicated by signature, date or initial is attached . 4 . No notification of "formal acceptance" of application was sent to applicant . 5 . No notification of acceptance was sent to Mt . Olivet , James Colt , Bulchis & Garrison or any parties of record in this rezone application or the attorneys of record regarding the lawsuit over the rezone property and ordinances govern- ing the property (#3113 . ) 6 . Mt . Olivet and any interested adjacent property own- ers have been denied rights to challenge the sufficiency of the application itself and further the right to be allowed to be heard and to comment on the application and any file documents due to failure to provide notice . As of the 6th of January, 1983 at 9 : 30 am, the Master Application has not been properly accepted by the City of Renton and until it is formally accepted , no action should take place . This may be an oversight by the City but is an error in law and should be corrected and application for- mally accepted prior to any further action, with notice of formal acceptance sent to any interested parties and parties of record and applicant . By way of further appeal , Mt. Olivet further contends that the determination by the Utility Engineering Department ' s Mr . Olson is totally incorrect and an error in fact based on the file and records in the ERADCO files . Mt . Olivet will introduce testimony, exhibits , maps , expert witnesses and other supporting information" at the appeal hearing .

A recent study estimates that unless the problem is checked, there is a 100% chance that 500,000 people will die in alcohol-related accidents within the next 20 years. Although the volume of deaths is not high in the City of Renton from this cause, there is a high rate of injuries sustained. However, a heavy enforcement effort has resulted in 1 ,655 arrests during the past two years which is two and one-half times greater than accepted by National Highway Safety Administration. Efforts are now underway to organize community groups, elected officials , business leaders, school district administrators, judges in a consolidated endeavor to convince Renton citizenry that driving while drinking is unacceptable and enforcement will be exercised. Sgt. Gerald Ritchie was introduced and his contribution to the anti-driving campaign noted. Mayor Shinpoch and Council members were invited to attend a meeting on Wednesday, February 9, 1983 at 7:30 p.m. in the Senior Citizens Center to discuss Renton' s Anti-DWI Program and offer their support .

PROPONENT: Environmental Research & Development Corporation - General Partner/Monterey Terrace Associates. LOC„TION OF PROPOSAL: Located north of SR-169 (Maple Valley Highway) , south of Monterey Terrace and Mt. Olivet Cemetery and west of Bonneville Power right-of-way. LEAD AGENCY: Building & Zoning Department. DATE OF ERC REVIEW: January 5, 1983. Acting as the Responsible Official , the ERC has determined that the requested modifications to the initial proposal reviewed under ECF-088-82 on January 5, 1983, are within the scope of that original proposal and the environmental disclosure is still valid. This decision was reached following a presentation by Jerry Lind of the Building & Zoning Department. Oral comments were accepted from: Ronald Nelson, Robert Bergstrom, Roger Blaylock, David Clemens, Donald Persson, Richard Houghton, Gary Norris and Jerry Lind. Incorporated by reference in the record of proceedings of the ERC on application R-077-82 are the following: 1 ) Environmental Impact Statement: Environmental Research and Development Corporation (ERADCO) , dated: December 3, 1982. 2) Application( s) : REZONE (R-077-82) . The Environmental Review Committee issues this Memorandum of Concurrence sub; ect to the following conditions: 1 ) A significant adverse impact on the environment will occur due to traffic impact and associated secondary environmental impacts because of traffic increases on N.E. 4th from this proposal , the Schneider Hilltop Development (170 units, 1000 trips) , the Mastro 4th and Monroe and 4th west of Union developments (544 units, 3200 trips) , the Homecraft Terrace project (290 units, 1700 trips) , and the proposed Cascadia Development (500+ units, 3000 trips). Therefore, the City Council must determine in the—approval process that these impacts can be mitigated by the proposal , or that overriding social , economic or environmental considerations make approval of this PUD appropriate. 2) The access to the proposed PUD shall form a four (4) way intersection at N.E. 3rd with the future northerly extension of Edmonds Avenue N.E. The intersection shall be signalized and widened to provide for left turn movements into and out of the project. 3) The proposed access roadway shall be constructed to collector street standards consisting of a thirty-six (36) foot curb-to-curb section, widened to fourty-four (44) feet at the intersection of N.E. 3rd. In addition, sidewalks, street lights and other appurtenant improvements shall be provided along the access roadway. 4) Participation in the amount of 4.4% of the operational improvements necessary to accommodate traffic at the N.E. 3rd and Sunset Boulevard intersection, including widening, paving or signal modification, shall be provided by this development. MEMORANDUM OF CONCURRENCE January 5, 1983 Page 2 5) Any exposed cut or fill slopes on the subject property shall be immediately reseeded and stabilized with jute matting. 6) Blaine Avenue N.E. shall be improved from N.E. 3rd Street to the subject property to accommodate public safety vehicles only. Improvements shall include twenty-two (22) feet of paving and any necessary grading, alignment or storm water drainage revisions. 7) The mitigating measures suggested by the Police Department shall be included in the final building plans. 1? 7-1 47(((t;l,t- Rona d G.

Legal Description B. Assessors Map C. N.E. Renton Comprehensive Plan Gentlemen: Environmental Research and Development Corporation as General Partner of that property legally described on attachment "A" and indicated on the at-:ached assessors map (attachment "B") , herewith submit for your approval the reclassification of the subject property to conform with the City of Rentons northeast comprehensive plan dated December 1981 (attachment "C") . As outlined in that comprehensive plan, we feel justification for the reclassification is logical and timely and will address the scope of plan and implementing policies that apply to that reclassification. 3.A. LAND DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE: Growth and development should occur in a timely and logical progression of the existing urban area to maximize the use of existing services. POLICY COMMENTS: 1. The reclassification would not be a premature development in that it is compatible with the present uses in the vacinity (re: proximity to the downtown core and major work and recreational sites) . 2. The reclassification is within the urban fringe. 3. The reclassification is surrounded by either developed properties, quasi-public land, recreational land or major arterials. 4.

The reclassification is definite and reasonable in that the need for housing near work centers is important in todays economy and the buffering" of single family residences to high density multi-family within the reclassification is in keeping with modern zoning concepts. IMPLEMENTING POLICIES LAND USE OBJECTIVES: Policy 3. Land development should progress logically from west to east on the east Renton plateau and from south to north in the Kennydale and Hazelwood areas. Comments: As the reclassification is on the westerly rim of the east Renton plateau, it should have priority for reclassification. COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE: Not applicable. COhMUNITY FACILITIES OBJECTIVE: Policy 1. To project life and property, the Highlands Fire Station should be moved easterly to the vacinity of Sunset Boulevard N.E. and Union Avenue N.E. , while a new fire station should be developed in the Kennydale area. Comnents: The existing fire station south of S.E. 128th on 156th S.E. would serve the reclassification by both the Maple Valley Highway and N.E. 3rd. TRANSPORTATION OBJECTIVE: Policy 2. All east west arterial corridors including the Maple Valley Hwy. , N.E. 3rd/N.E. 4th/S.E. 128th Streets and Sunset Boulevard should be primarily utilized for arterial street purposes. Land use activities which disrupt arterial street movements should be minimized. Comnents: With the improvement requirements of the intersection at N.E.3rd and Edmonds Avenue by Homecraft Land Development Co. , Inc. and future latecomers, the reclassification would not disrupt the anticipated arterial movements of N.E. 3rd. f9 V S' ' sari;'v P^' f it....• F •..

DESCRIPTION OF THE NORTHEAST C.OMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Northeast Planking Area is the third of four areas targeted for review and update of the original Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in 1965. The Comprehensive Plan represents a long-range framework for decision-making related to the issues of growth and physical development of the City. Adoption of the Northeast Quadrant Comprehensive Plan, like the previously adopted Southeast and Green River Valley Plans, will supercede those portions of the 1965 city-wide plan which are in conflict with this revision. The Northeast Quadrant Committee used a sub-area approach In preparing this plan amendment. Sixteen sub-areas of the Northeast Quadrant were identified and at least three different land use arrangements were developed for each sub-area. For the purpose of an early analysis and comparison, a weighted environmental matrix was used to qualitatively rank each of the sub-area alternatives. Three plans were then created by combining sub-area alternatives with low, medium and high estimated environmental consequences. These plans generally reflect a range of land use intensities and are titled the LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH Density Plans. The recommended NORTHEAST COMPREHENSIVE PLAN is a composite of the three working draft plans. MAP 1) L SCOPE OF PLAN PROPOSALS The Northeast Quadrant Comprehensive Plan provides a policy framework for growth and development for those areas of Renton north of the Cedar River and east of the 1-405 Freeway and Lake Washington. Although the Land Use Element map Illustrates the ultimate pattern of development, actual development of property will occur over the next 20 to 50 years. Not all areas designated for urban uses in the Land Use Element will be appropriate for development within the 1990 time-frame of the Plan. As a result, The discussion of Issues such as utilities, transportation and other services are only adequate for projected development through the year 1990. The proposed Northeast Quadrant Plan covers nearly 11,700 acres, with the projected development of 4590 households providing for a population increase of about 12,750 persons between 1978 and 1990. The following figures Illustrate some of the changes expected by 1990. NORTHEAST PLANNING AREA 1978 Single Family Households 8,680 Multiple Family Households 2,140 Total Population 30,300 1990 Single Family Households 11,410 +' 02,730 Multiple Family Households 4,000 t 4340 Estimated Population 43,050 .. j2/7S-0 r ull development (After the year 2000) Single Family Households 35,000 Multiple Family Households 15,000 Estimated Population 110,000 a y l. 3`'k<'of ,r 1e "^ YF 3ft .i tr 9,+'-y_- i,., •s S4 L t, a. r tS'+ ` ^ {i treys tv"'nr a w" 7* A*r .'S yaz;a + , ` ' ''e r 3 N.a ,•, ,,,1^t[ar:*',t s.;.y . y',. r zr ss t-.7 l 4; .ejp.r .a,.ara.t-f7C iA.xd r._ 1, %! i...- ." .t r" rrrirV,. ue, A.4,, Tie currently available public service, utility and transportation systems are not capable of accommodating full development of the Planning area. Further, unknown or unforeseen dimensions of policy, energy, environmental and other considerations will affect future decisions 'ori land use within the Planning area. Therefore, the Plan Elements which address the infra- structure for accommodating physical development illustrate only those facilities which wUl be required to support 1990 population levels. However, the location of specific developments Is difficult to anticipate, so the infrastructure plans will, in most cases, provide service to a population base which would not exist before the mid-1990's. Current City policy states that urban growth and development, as well as services and utilities to support such growth, should only occur in a logical and timely progression. The distinction between lands which are "potentially appropriate" and sites which are ready now" for a specific land use Is important. Section 3.A. of the adopted Policies Element of the Comprehensive Plan recommends maximizing the use of available utility and service resources and provides crucial guidance to the Hearing Examiner and City Council in making this distinction. 3.A :LAND DEVELOPMENT O84ECT#VE;z Growth and development should occur in a timely and logical progression of the existing urban area to maximize the use of existing services. LPOLiCIES: tt;i. To minimize the necessity for redevelopment, premature development should only be allowed where it can be shown to be compatible with future uses In the vicinity. 2 : . Development beyond the urban fringe should only be allowed where It is a consistent extension of urban services. 3. Vacant land surrounded by developed land should be given priority for development. C. Land where adequate public utilities are available should be given priority for development. 5. A balance of residential, commercial, and industrial areas should be achieved. 6. The upgrading and/or redevelopment of marginal areas should be encouraged. 7. The City should identity Its sphere of influence. 8. Annexations should have logical boundaries. 9.To reduce processing time and effort and provide for efficient use of existing public facilities, large annexations should be encouraged. 10. Annexations that are economically advantageous should be encouraged. Development requirements should be definite and reasonable. The fiscal Impacts of prudent consideration of these policies is obvious. If new growth can be accommodated at an average cost of, for example, $5.00 per person, it would not be appropriate to develop a service system which costs $10.00 per person. By consciously directing future land use and Infrastructure decisions to certain nc+ighberhoods or corridors, both fiscal and ,.ri.ii, ,nrri=nt yi consequences can be reduced. 14.7 N}^ ud7 £?--y, 1 ' l a ^r: aKMt; '} a• l i-M- .t !c TM '3s 4 V'l7, c d w .r¢, v4f 'A d+t'Lt „'t s r; c .K ' ar.y+y fi Of equal importance, however, Is the need to remain flexible to future needs of the planning area. If population growth substantially exceeds the projections considered In this Plan, adjustments in both policy and service development must be made. It would be just as inapproprldte to fag to accommodate a demonstrated need for expanded development, as it would to over-zone or over-extend utilities and services. II.ELEMENTS OF THE PLAN -- Land Use The land use distribution within the plan closely follows the primary transportation corridors. Higher intensity land uses (multiple family, commercial and employment) are concentrated primarily along NE 3rd/NE 4th and Sunset Blvd. Other areas of multiple family or commercial development are located adjacent to 1-405 Freeway at the Maple Valley Highway, north of Park Drive along Lake Washington Blvd. and near NE 44th. Neighborhood commercial areas are planned at SE 72nd and Coal Creek Parkway and SE 128th and 164th Avenue SE. The plan also designates single family, public/quasi-public, recreational and greenbelt uses. In addition to the land use categories currently found in the Comprehensive plan, the Northeast Quadrant Plan contains another designation. Within the planning area there are a number of areas which are not appropriate for residential purposes, but which could adversely Impact the natural environment if developed to typical commercial standards. Therefore, a new land use classification of OFFICE PARK Is proposed which Is Intended to allow the broadest range of commercial, professional or administrative offices to be located In a "park-like" or "campus" setting. Development within an OFFICE PARK should institute the highest degree of architectural compatibility to the site, include major setbacks from public streets and adjacent uses, provide for up to 20% of the site to be retained In landscaped open space, and integrate significant natural elements contained on the site Into the overall design. Community Facilities The Community Facilities Element recognizes those facilities, such as schools, parks, fire stations, libraries and related similar uses, which are public/quasi-public. The plan proposes some expansion of existing park areas and school facilities to Improve their recreational capabilities. Recognizing the rapidly urbanizing nature of the Planning Area, there Is a significant need for active recreational facilities normally included in a park with a minimum site area of five to ten acres. As urbanization Increases, the need for such park facilities as baseball diamonds, playground equipment, and tennis courts will substantially increase and these facilities should be provided. Potential park areas, as Indicated on Map 2 and the land use map, may show a general area of need rather than a specific site or location. The Plan as proposed does not project the need for additional school facilities In view of the existing facilities available, declining school enrollment In some areas, and the possibility of bussing students to gain maximum use of present facilities and the public Investment therein. Generally, fire stations, libraries and other public facilities are Indicated Just as they currently exist. Transportatl npCirculation Circulation within the Northeast Quadrant Is dominated by three east-west and three north-south corridors. 1 ° Kcst' '.,t-1• fit' 3 : 7i t 2 sJ F" 4'A 4Y 7 ' 441 ttxY. a- tom . r r a'' a '}'"c. • C}.,.'"X -. c', !

L- •• East-West North-South Maple Valley Highway Interstate 405 Freeway N.E. 3rd/4th/S.E. 128th Lake Washington Blvd. Sunset Blvd. Coal Creek Parkway/ Renton-Issaquah Road 138th Avenue S.E. Besides these arterial corridors, numerous collector and minor streets provide access to individual parcels. The Circulation Element Map (Map 3) recognizes existing streets and arterials as the circulation network for the Northeast Planning Area. In addition, the Plan Identifies two corridors 'which are expected to augment circulation in the planning area. First, Edmonds Avenue N.E. Is proposed to be extended from N.E. 3rd southerly to Maple Valley Highway. This link will help to reduce traffic which must currently utilize the Sunset Blvd. N. Intersections at Bronson Way and N.E. 3rd for local access trips. The second improvement, which was previously Identified in the Southeast Quadrant Plan, calls for an arterial link connecting the East Renton and Soos Creek plateaus. The Intent of this corridor is to connect the 138th Avenue S.E. and 140th Place S.E. systems across the Cedar River Valley. No specific route is proposed by the Plan. The proposed Plan recognizes the difficulty in attempting to accommodate anticipated new development while retaining the existing emphasis upon the single occupant vehicle as the primary transportation mode. The Plan proposes the Implementation of non-roadway solutions to circulation problems wherever the cost effectiveness of those approaches exists. The Plan encourages alternatives to the private automobile, including transit, carpool and park-n-ride opportunities. The efforts of METRO Transit, the Department of Transportation and local Jurisdictions to provide these services In a manner which discourages private automobile use at peak hours is endorsed. The Plan calls for Implementation of park-n-ride/park-n-pool facilities at locations east of 138th Avenue S.E. to serve East Renton Plateau residents. Transit and carpool facilities should be emphasized in those areas where development density Is sufficient to support their utilization. High occupancy vehicle lanes on FAI-405 and key arterial corridors are also endorsed by the Plan where the cost/benefit relationship warrants such installations. Utilities The majority of the Incorporated land within the planning area has water, sanitary sewers and storm drainage available. The Renton Public Works Department has developed Comprehensive Plans for additional water and sewer service within the city franchise areas. Storm drainage, however, Is currently handled on a case-by-case basis. The Northeast Quadrant Plan recognizes these existing utility plans, as well as W.D. 90 and W.D. 107 plans, while endorsing those sections of the POLICIES ELEMENT related to utility development and extension. For those segments of the planning area where utilities are unavailable, the Plan recognizes the need for their extension to serve the land use development expected through 1990. However, the Plan recommends the Installation of utldties only in those areas where the utility extensions logically enhance new development potentials. These areas are Identified generally as located west of 142nd Avenue S.E. from the Cedar River Vaitey northerly to the May Creek Valley. North of May Creek, new utilities should be concentrated west of 116th Avenue S.E. north to the Lake Boren area. g d le}' f'.frV5 rt *14.+f 4 f: A':'644"„4lt x y.G•vii'li,e7,,••w r'.'.r r,s1 4.Y. .,,. .• }' F r.• =sue t ,+t' 't _ i_.

Extension of utilities to currently unserviced areas should be consistent with good engineering practice and existing policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Cost effectiveness of utility extensions should consider both capital and maintenance and ope ating costs, in conjunction with the relative costs versus benefits of extending urban development Into the new service areas. Pollees The Policies Element of the Comprehensive Plan was adopted by the City Council in Feb vary 1981. These goals, policies and objectives apply to the city as a whole, but are Incorporated specifically within the Northeast Quadrant Comprehensive Plan. The Land Use Element and other elements of the proposed Plan should not be viewed without recognition of the policy guidelines provided by this document. NORTHEAST COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IMPLEMENTING POLICIES 7-LAN) USE OBJECTIVE: The Land Use Element of the Northeast Quadrant Comprehensive Plan Is intended to be a ge-ieral guide to land use decision making. POL CIES: 1. Land use decisions within the Northeast Quadrant should be consistent with available transportation, community facilities, and utilities. 2. The Land Use Plan illustrates full development, and not every parcel is appropriate for development within the 1990 time-frame of the plan. 3. Land development should progress logically from west to east on the Ea.:t Renton Plateau and from south to north In the Kennydale and Hazelwood areas. 4.To help balance home to work traffic trips the Land Use Plan strongly endorses employment opportunities In the vicinity of N.E. 44th and Interstate 405 and the vicinity of N.E. 4th and Duvall Avenue N.E. 5. An Office Park land use classification should be developed consistent with the following design criteria: a.Provide for a transitional land use intensity consistent with both commercial and residential areas and the natural environment. b. Provide for a broad range of commercial, professional and administrative offices In a "park-like" or "camp, '° setting. c. Provide for a high degree of architectural compatibility with the site including major setbacks from public streets and adjacent uses. eiar eri e•u e, ,c, ., f -< f[ 4.

Integrate signiticant natural elements contained on the site Into the overall design. f.Provide for accessory retail uses consistent with an office setting. 6. Approximately 60 acres of office park should be accommodated along N.E. 4th generally between Union and Duvall in accordance with land use policy #4 above. 7.Where appropriate design can be developed, mixed residential and business uses should be accommodated In commercial land use designations. 8.Upon implementation of the community shopping center allowed by Commercial Development Policy #6, the land uses adjoining the commercial and office land use designations should be re-evaluated in light of location of the community shopping center. COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE: The Land Use Plan should provide for sufficient retail services to accommodate the projected residential population. POLICIES: 1.Commercial uses developed along N.E. 4th Street and along Sunset Boulevard N.E. should be oriented within shopping centers or other sizeable complexes. 2. Strip commercial development should only be allowed when no other design alternative Is available. 3.Commercial development should be designed to limit the number of access points to arterial streets. 4.Commercial development along major arterials should be designed with private perimeter access roadways which concentrate arterial street access at a minimum number of points. 5.Multiple family residential uses should be encouraged as buffers between commercial uses and less intensive uses. 6. The Land Use Plan recognizes that one Community- scale retail shopping center 20+ acres) Is justified by the anticipated market for the area along N.E. 4th within the City limits during the life of the plan. Sufficient area is designated at N.E. 4th St. and Union Avenue N.E. to provide for community shopping facilities at the northwest, northeast, and southeast corners and available at the northeast corner of N.E 4th and Duvall. Only one of these corners should be developed as a retail shopping center. Upon Implementation of one shopping complex, the Comprehensive Plan should be evaluated for appropriate use of the remaining corners. 3 yW# w' Y rMx u 'G+6' '• Y'Tjr,t,P, +• y ^ "7 5` P °°' jf'xr 1rD x3" 7. Retail commercial facilities at S.E. 128th St. and 164th Avenue S.E. should be sufficient to serve residents of the unincorporated East Renton Plateau without requiring retail trips to be extended into the city of Renton. 8. Retail commercial uses along the Maple Valley Highway should be generally located immediately east of the Cedar River Park and not extended In strip development easterly along the Highway. COMMUNITY FACILITIES OBJECTIVE: Community facilities should be sufficient to accommodate the level of population anticipated in the Plan. POLICIES: 1. To protect life and property, the Highlands Fire Station should be moved easterly to the vicinity of Sunset Boulevard N.E. and Union Avenue N.E., while a new fire station should be developed in the Kennydale area. 2.Priority park Improvements should focus on fulfilling existing recreational needs. 3.Neighborhood parks should place a first priority on providing for active recreational activities, with resource based parks maintaining a lower priority. 4. The Comprehensive Park Plan should serve as the guide to new park construction and design. TR1 NSPORTATION OBJECTIVE: The Northeast Quadrant Plan proposes an integrated transportation system including private vehicles and pedestrian/bicycle facilities. POLICIES: 1.The Northeast Quadrant Comprehensive Plan strongly endorses the need for a traffic study to thoroughly evaluate all of the transportation requirements to accommodate the proposed level of development. 2. All east/west arterial corridors including the Maple Valley Highway, N.E. 3rd/N.E. 4th/S.E. 128th Streets and Sunset Boulevard streets should be primarily utilized for arterial street purposes. Land use activities which disrupt arterial street movements should be minimized. 3. Mass transit opportunities through effective land use design should be encouraged. 4. Park and ride and park and pool facilities should be provided at strategic locations, with particular emphasis upon facilities east of the current city limits to minimize Impacts upon existing City streets. 5.

POLICIES: 1.138th Avenue S.E. should be extended southerly in an alignment which will provide for connection to 140th Place S.E. connecting the East Renton Plateau and the Soos Creek Plateau with a north/south arterial connection. 2. Edmonds Avenue N.E. should be extended southerly from N.E. 4th Street to the Maple Valley Highway. 3.An arterial street extension should be extended westerly from the southerly terminus of Union Avenue S.E. to the proposed southerly extension of Edmonds Avenue S.E. on an alignment at approximately S.E. 3rd Street. 4. An environmental and engineering analysis should be accomplished to determine the feasibility of extending Edmonds Avenue N.E. across May Creek to connect with 116th Avenue S.E. 5.Development along Duvall Avenue N.E. (138th Avenue S.E.) should be designed with specialized setbacks and landscaping design to create a "boulevard" architectural effect. UTILITIES OBJECTIVE: To accommodate the proposed level of growth safe and healthful public utilities should be provided. POLICIES: 1. The availability of sanitary sewers should be a prerequisite for new land development. 2. The Honeycreek Sewer interceptor should be constructed. 3. Sanitary sewer Interceptors should be constructed In the Maplewood Creek Sewer Drainage Basin. 4. During the life of the plan, City utilities should only be extended to 142nd Avenue S.E. south of May Creek, and 116th Avenue S.E. north of May Creek. 5. The May Creek Basin Plan for storm drainage should be Implemented by the City in conjunction with other jurisdictions. 6. Development proposals should be conditioned or modified to maintain compliance with the May Creek Basin Plan. 7. Stream corridor guidelines, as set forth in the May Creek Basin Plan should be implemented during development review for all greenbelt streams in the Northeast Planning Area. a e tX - e' F"i., s(+1 yyK" , e:, A w 8.Areas designated as "greenbelt" should be considered critical areas for storm drainage purposes. 9.

Box C-90016 Bellevue, Washington 98009-9016 RE: MONTEREY TERRACE ORDINANCE 3113 Dear Mr. Chapin : This department has reviewed this rezone ordinance and the covenants required in its approval. These covenants require submission of a Planned Unit Development application within certain time limits and beginning of construction within one year of the commencement of the approval process. Having reviewed these documents and previous correspondence, it is our conclusion that the requirement for submission of a PUD application by February 1 , 1982, still applies and has been complied with. Due to the remaining restriction on the requirement for commencement of construction within one year, this department must conclude that no further exten- sions may be granted. In order to resolve all of the issues surrounding these matters, we would recommend that a new rezone application be submitted so that it may be processed concurrently with the PUD applica- tion. To provide you with an ample opportunity to prepare this application, we will grant an extension of the application time until February 16th. Should there be any questions, please feel free to contact this office. Very truly you s 7 , D id R.

Clemens Planning Department City of Renton Municipal Building 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, Washington 98055 Re: Monterey Terrace - Ordinance No. 3113 Dear Mr. Clemens : It is respectfu-ly requested that the time for approval of the submission for preliminary PUD approval for the Monterey Terrace Development be extended to 1 'l e Z As you know, the last extension expires on February 1, 1982. In 1977, when the subject property was rezoned to its current zoning classification in compliance with the then existing Compre- hensive Plan, the City was in the process of examining its long- range growth and development policies . At that time, the Council concluded that it was necessary to establish some time limit for development of the property so that if the Comprehensive Plan was later changed, the City would not be "stuck" with zoning on this property which might not be consistent with such future plan changes . Since that time there has been a long series of events , in- cluding change of ownership of the property, which have combined to prevent finalization of the development. Throughout, the City administration has been extremely cooperative in continuously work- ing with the owners and their consultants to achieve a development which meets the needs of the City, as well as accomplishing the goals of the owners. The many many plan changes have finally been completed, the EIS has been finalized, the ERC has completed its review and analysis, the application has been amended to meet the requirements of the existing PUD Ordinance and the matter is now ready for a hearing by the Dxamin r and final action by the Council . Y ITT 7:337:i 1 !- '' J tO ii. , Mr. David R. Clemens Planning Department City of Renton Page Two Re: Monterey Terrace - Ordinance No. 3113 In the meantime, the City has completed its Comprehensive Plan review and it has recently affirmed the existing Comprehensive Plan for this area. In other words, although there may be some engineering type issues remaining to be resolved by the Hearing Examiner, the existing zoning on the property is consistent with current City policies as expressed in the Comprehensive Plan to achieve "in filling" at the existing zoning densities on this property. Consequently, we believe that the interests of the City, the public and the owner will be best served by rapid completion of the Master Plan-PUD process. This is particularly important at a time when there is a critical need for new housing and new employ- ment, both of which will be afforded by new residential development. We do not believe any worthwhile purpose will be accomplished by allowing the property to revert to its pre-1977 zoning. Such action will necessitate a rezone application to return the property to its current status. The resulting administrative time, money and inconvenience of processing such application would not be of substantial benefit to either the City or the owner. For all of the foregoing reasons, we request that the City exercise its discretion to consider extensions on a case by case basis and grant an extension for completion of the PUD process on this property to J ,.w.& I J 1cP 7.- This will give ample time for the City to schedule 'nd hold a public hearing and allow the Council to take final action on the merits of the application.

We feel that diligent good faith efforts have been made to make progress on developing the site. Surely, since ERADCO has become involved with this propel-ty substantial progress has been made, with all deadlines imposed by the C ty of Renton having been met by us. However, due to the long time in queue and your subsequent request for supplemental traffic analysis and data, the revised EIS is just today being submitted. UnforLunately, we will now be required to wait for review and printing of this E.IS revision and will also be re-scheduled for hearing. In view of these facts the approval process has caused a significant time delay. Time needed for final master plan approval , final engineering design, bidding, and permit approval could well represent a year before construction could begin. It is with this in mind, and for the reasons outlined above, that we are reque! tirig an extension to 2/1/82 to ensure adequate coordination with all interEsted parties.

Olivet Cemetery Ted Gathe , Attorney for Mr . Colt Bob DeBoer , Stoneway Sand and Gravel Pat Easter , ERADCO Discussed in brief were the problems surrounding the concurrent completion of the Mt . Olivet Special Permit for filling and grading and the construction of the ERADCO roadway. It was noted that the Mt . Olivet permit would expire on May 9 , 1980, and would require extension . Also, the permit for the ERADCO roadway required approval of a Special Permit , if not constructed in accordance with the Mt . Olivet permit (roadway on an easement over the Mt . Olivet property ) . Several alternatives were considered to resolve the problem of an extension of the Mt . Olivet permit , and to make the ERADCO road construction coincide with the Stoneway rezone application approval . It was concluded that: 1 ) The Mt . Olivet permit will expire and requires extension by the submission of a new permit . 2 ) The ERADCO roadway can only be constructed in accord- ance with the Mt. Olivet permit . a _d P•ri ,r4 r. p G Page 2 Warren Gonnason April 15 , 1980 3) ERADCO may construct the road at their own risk until such time as the PUD approval requirements of the Stoneway rezone are complied with. At the conclusion of the meeting , Mr . Colt indicated that they would be submitting a new special permit , and that they would also request that the construction portion of their current permit remain in force until such time as the Examiner acts upon the new application . The City Attorney and Public Works Director indicated that they would consider such a request . ERADCO discussed their concerns related to the PUD approval estimated Lo occur early in 1981 due to the EIS preparation required ) , and its relationship to the roadway . The Planning staff indicated that until the PUD is approved , that the roadway cannot be considered as acceptable access to the ERA )CO ( former Stoneway ) property . Any roadway construction would therefore be at the risk of ERADCO in that the access may not be approved as proposed due to environmental or other prol)lems . The meeting closed with Mt . Olivet proposing a new application and a request to allow continuing operations until the Examiners decision on the new permit . ERADCO indicated that they would consider whether to continue work on the roadway in accordance with the Mt . Olivet permit requirements or halt work until the PUD is approved .

It should be made clear that`we do intend to submit the Master Plan bf the February 28th deadlinetoyouroffice. This Master Plan will contain those items outlinedinourmemotoyoudatedFebruary2, 1980. Thouch we have taken what we believe to be significant steps toward complying with the Contract Rezone Covenant, we do feel it would greatlybenefitallpartiesconcernedifwecouldhavesufficienttimetoreview all details with your office prior to submitting the plan for hearingsandfinalapproval . We feel that it is imperative that our plan meet both the desires of the City of Renton for development of the east side as well as the financial goals of ERADCO investors. Therefore, we are formally requesting an extension for purpose of planapproval , based upon the following circumstances which have mitigated against an adequate planning process shared between our offices. 1. Late closing of property purchase: all escrowed funds were held pending closure until January 18th, 1980, thus tieing up those funds necessary to proceed with the various contracts necessary to complete the planning process. 2. Washington State SEC Stop Order: On June 11, 1979, ERADCO was served a Stop Order by the State of Washington, Securities Division. At that point in time, all efforts of ERADCO personnel were channeled toward meeting the conditions of the Stop Order and obtaining a Consent Decree whereby Monterey Terrace syndica- tion already in progress could be closed out. Said approval for Monterey Terrace sales was given and syndication was closed out October 11, 1979. It was at this time that a new team of staff were brought on at ERADCO and the Contract Rezone efforts were begun in earnest. In essence, four months were lost for the formulation of the necessary procedures for PUD application. Y I t~' Eri c.kson, 2/21/8 J: t } Page two 3. Easement delay the access easement, required in the land covenant, could not be completed until Ja,ivary 1980.

No:.'LR-.391-76` Stoney!aY i.Con.c.xete, ;.;Inc, )2_:I That original approval anticipated that an access road would have to be constructed along the powerline right-of-way ; how- e'•er , it required review by the Hearing Examiner prior to the actual construction of the road. It appears that in July of 1979 , the Public Works Department issued a permit for the construction of the road without the approval of the Hearing Examiner. The Planning Department was totally unaware that the Public Works Department was considering such a request . Presently, the Planning Department is uncertain of the legal impact that granting a permit in apparent violation of the requirements of the rezone will have on the status of the rezone. Therefore, we would request that the Public Works Department place a stop work order on the project until a legal interpretation can be obtained from the City Attorney.

Since coming on board several consultants have begun to gather infolwation to assist toward the development of the Master Plan, namely : a soils expert , traffic consultant, and Robert Thorpe, who is assisting with environ nental issues . George Further addressed the access road issue , indicating the Developer' s desire to work closely with the planning department , and hoping that previous misunderstandings will not work to the detriment of the project completion. Gordon Erickson spoke briefly to the nature of the restrictive covenant and it' s requirements regarding the content of and time frame for the submittal of a Master Plan. He indicated the City was accepting February 28, 1980 as the Master Plan submittal target date. '_t was further pointed out by Mr . Erickson that extensions of this ta:-get date were possible, with the proper supporting documenta- tion. :_t was reiterated, relative to several issues by Mr. Erickson that in order to facilitate the smooth processing of our proposals that all issues concerning the proposal and Master Plan completion should pass before the Planning Department. Mr. Erickson pointed out both the desirability and the requirement that his Department carry out the interface with other City Departments , rather than the developers performing this task. The issue of subdivision and platting of the property was discussed briefly. Mr. Erickson pointed out the necessity of exploring the ramification should the developers decide to subdivide, that is , road 1934 132nnd Avenue N.E. P.O.

Rolfe indicated that the present state of the developer' s planning had not fully discussed this issue, while Mr. Erickson indicated that platting was not a requirement for completior of the Master Plan. James Badoia presented several plans to indicate the direction of the developer' s thinking to date. These plans included a slope analysis , a composite of traffic circulation within the plot , and a preliminarysiteplanwithdensityindications . Relative to site access during construction Mr. Erickson indicated that it would very likely be possible to use Blaine Avenue for small vehicle access , while larger vehicles would use the new access road. This utilization of the Blaine Avenue access would have to meet time frames acceptable to both the city and the residents of MontereyTerrace. To date the developers have turned over to the planning department the following materials : Correspondence file pertaining to the access road, PUD, Land Use Contract, etc. Engineering drawings for the access road Slope analysis draft Composite site plan, showing in site circulation patterns and housing density. Next steps include : The developers will submit a list of that data which they plan to submet as part of the Master Plan. The developers request the Planning Department to respond to this listing, indicating changes necessary or deficiencies . The developers will complete an Environmental Impact Check List, nd request a City determination regarding an EIS. Mr. Erickson indicated that his department will respond to all material submitted as quickly as possible but wanted us to recognize office work load and potential delays in response. From his perusalofthematerialpertainingtotheaccessroad, the preliminarydrawingssubmittedofthesiteanalysisandcomposition, Mr. Erickson indicated he would offer his response regarding the developer 's progress to date, potential pitfalls and areas for further work.

Partin Vice President Real Estate Planning Division Environmental Research & Development Corporation Sea-Tac Office Building 18000 Pacific Highway South Seattle, Washington 98188 RE: R-891-76, STONEWAY CONCRETE, INC. , ORDINANCE 3113 Dear Mr. Partin: We have reviewed the covenants dated February 22, 1977, relating to the above referenced item. The covenants require approval of a master plan by February, 1979, and substantial development by February, 1980. The covenants further provide for extension of these time periods by the Planning Department for reasonable cause. We have evaluated your six reasons for considering the requested exten- sion provided in your letter of October 18, 1976, and compared them to the original concerns expressed at the time of the rezoning action. The timing requirement appears to have been established to insure continuity in the development process from rezoning through construction. The basic request for additional time to provide for proper planning of the project appears to be consistent with the original rezone approval . However, the requested 18 months does appear to go beyond the original intent. There- fore, based upon the fact that ERADCO is a prospective new owner, the access roadway plans have just been completed, and good planning princi- pals suggest that alternatives be developed and considered, the Planning Departmt+it extends time limits specified in covenants for one year. Therefore, a master plan for the total development is required to be approved by the City by February, 1980, and construction commenced by February, 1981. If you have any questions, please feel free to call . Very ul yours, Gordon Y. Eri ckl 'ij7, Planning Director 1,,,,/ /./, ,/,/_____ ,,,,/,, David R.

It would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to formulate and mplement an effective development plan by this date. We will require at east 18 additional months to complete our site research and to create a quality development plan for property being purchased from the Stoneway Company. We feel that such an extension is in order for the following reasons : 1 . As the prospective new owner of the property, Environmental Research and Development Corporation (ERADCO) has insufficient time to complete necessary research and planning before the current contract expires. 2. Only recently have final plans meeting city specifications of an access road to the N.E. corner of the subject property completed the review and revision process. 3. The access problem is further complicated by the restrictive covenant on the property limiting access to Blaine Avenue N.E. Additional time is necessary to develop a harmonious access plan that can be presented to the city and residents of Monterey Terrace for review and approval . 4. Adequate planning time prevents the ill effects that can be generated by a plan that is developed in haste in order to meet a suspense deadline. 5. It is the desire of ERADCO to minimize the impact of site development and construction activity upon the surrounding community. Additional preparation time will assure ERADCO an opportunity to investigate a substantial number of alterna- tives, and choose the best of many instead of the best of a few. yr.«0 11 11 , t as w , 2- 6. An 18 month extension of the land use contract does not appear to adversely affect anyone related to the subject property, including the city planning department, the neighboring com- munity, and the owners. However, it does appear to enhance the predictability of the nature, degree, and direction of future development and the peripheral effects and demands generated by that development. Thank you for your consideration of this request. An early response will to appreciated. incerely, 40V Ma cus K.

DeBoer : RE : ACCESS ROAD FOR STONEWAY CONCRETE COMPANY PROPERTY Pursuant to your request , the Planning Department and Public Works Department have reviewed the location and improvement reluirements for a proposed access road from N . E . 3rd Street to the Stoneway property just south of Mt . Olivet Cemetery . It is our recommendation that the proposed street consist of 64 feet of dedicated right-of-way , which should be suf- ficient to provide a minimum 44 foot curb-to-curb width . Standard improvements could be developed as a phased program with initial construction at a lesser width . It would also be necessary to determine the extent of the public right-of- way portion of the roadway that would be sufficient to serve the general area . This requirement is based on the potential developmental density of the subject site , together with the comprehensive plan designation for a future boulevard street to serve anticipated additional residential and recreational densities for the area . While there are some sight restrictions at N . E . 3rd Street due to a vertical curve on the uphill side , the proposed lol:ation does not appear to create any significant sight di ;stance problems . Signalization will ultimately be required at N . E . 3rd Street , when traffic demands warrant it Adequate provisions will also be required to handle storm drainage from the proposed street . We hope that this will assist you in planning the subject access road . You should submit proposed plans for our review and approval . 11, c4 I 0, 1) i 5 Robert DeBoer June 7 , 1977 Page Two If you have any questions , please do not hesitate to contact this department or the Public Works Department .

As I understood it , the proposed R-2 and R-3 development on the Stoneway property could involve as many as 200- 300 residential units . A two- lane roadway facility would be adequate to serve the population from such a development. You did indicate , however , that there is additional potential development in the area to the east that could be served by such an access road , and it would be appropriate to have that portion of the roadway that serves the larger area have a curb-to-curb width of 44 feet to allow for turning movements and storage at the intersection with NE 3rd Street . Ultimately signalization would probably be required at NE 3rd Street when traffic demands require this . Therefore , right-of-way sufficient to provide 44- foot curb- to- curb width should be provided at the outset , and initial construction could be programmed to a lesser width . This should be a dedicated public right-of-way of 64 feet in width ; and while there are some sight restrictions at NE 3rd Street due to a vertical curve on the uphill side , we do not anticipate this would create any sight distance problems . Adequate provisions would be required for handling the drainage waters from such a development , and the developer should submit proposed plans for our consideration and approval, and alignment as shown on your vicinity map would appear to be acceptable . 6) (2 9-) WCG : cah cc: Mayor Delaurenti Del Bennett Dick Houghton THE CITY OF RENTONRMUNICIPALBUILDING200MILLAVESO.

E . 3rd Street , potential traf- fic impacts of the proposed rezone and development of the site , and provision for traffic controls including financing should a primary access road be constructed east of Mt . Olivet Ceme- tery . Other committee concerns were noted by Commission Wik : the development of the site so that all zones can be integrated , the time- frame for development , preservation of the steep natural hillside area along the southerly portion of the property , the availability of utilities , and possible view obstruction . Proposed restrictive covenants addressing major areas of concern were reviewed . Restriction of building heights were discussed , and it was noted by the Planning Director that the R- 1 area is limited to 35 feet at present and that the clause referring to a 35 foot height restriction will apply to the R-2 designated parcel in proximity to Monterey Terrace . Commissioner Wik then advised that the committee recommends approval of the rezone request , the covenants , and considera- tions noted this evening . It is also recommended that should the rezone be granted , the different zoning classifications should be described in legal form and on an exhibit map . Questions from the Commission were invited by the Chairman . Commissioner Teegarden inquired regarding provisions for access , noting that the proposed covenants restrict access to N . E . 3rd from other than Maine Ave . N . E . Renton Planning Commission Meeting January 19 , 1977 Page Three The Planning Director discussed the developer ' s responsibility corcerning access and typical provisions for roads and utili - ties should development be accomplished as a P . U . D . Mr . Tee- garden also inquired regarding the definition of the term sutstantial construction in the proposed restrictive covenants . The general descriptions of the particular zoning classifica- ticns were then discussed . Conmissioner Gist raised the question of provision in the restrictive covenants for a traffic light for control of traf- fic onto N . E . 3rd , when the development is first initiated . Discussion followed regarding the current traffic situation at the access of Monterey Terrace to N . E . 3rd , the effect of development to the east on N . E . 4th and N . E . 3rd , impact of prcposed annexation to the east of the subject site , and future opportunity for traffic impact review at the time of development . IT WAS THEN ACTION: MOVED BY MOLA , SECONDED BY GIST, THAT A CLAUSE BE ADDED TO THE RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS THAT AT SUCH TIME THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER FEELS TRAFFIC SIGNALIZATION IS REQUIRED IT SHALL BE PROVIDED I BY THE APPLICANT. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. The Chairman called for comments in favor of the application . None were offered . Chairman Garrison then called for comments in opposition . Roi Brady , 142 Blaine Ave . N . E . , noting that the Stoneway Com- paiy has been a good neighbor , indicated his primary concern is the access situation . He requested that the covenants be more specific regarding the location of the access road . Mr . Brady also indicated that he felt it would be desirable to deidend Blaine Avenue N . E . Li )yd Salter , 76 Monterey P1 . N . E . , stating that he had no objection to the rezone of the property , requested that the covenants be more specific regarding the time of construction of the access road . He suggested that the access road be con- ' structed prior to issuance of the development permit so that it may be used during the construction period . Discussion among the Commissioners followed relative to the effect of heavy construction equipment on the access road or Blaine Ave . N . E . , should it be used for temporary access dur- ing development . IT WAS THEN ACTION: MOVED BY WIK, SECONDED BY MOLA , THAT UNDER THE CLAUSE "ACCESS" IN THE PROPOSED RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS THAT IT BE SPECIFIED THAT BLAINE AVE . N . E . IS NOT TO BE USED AS TEMPORARY ACCESS DURING CONSTRUCTION. Further discussion ensued relative to possible hardship to the builder , the impact of construction on the neighborhood , the possibility of establishing a preliminary access road , and the appropriateness of reviewing the question at the time of consideration of the development as a P . U . D . On the question , a roll call vote was requested with the follow- ing results : AKERS - NO MOLA - AYE BUCKINGHAM - NO TEEGARDEN - AYE GIST - NO WALKER - NO KIRKMAN - NO WIK - AYE MOTION FAILED. Renton Planning Commission Meeting January 19 , 1977 Page Four The Chairman invited further comment from the audience . Robert DeBoer of the Stoneway Company indicated that it is his feeling that the restrictive covenants should be limited to aspects regarding the rezone application . He stated that they have no intent on this site for the use of Blaine Ave . N . E . , although it will have to be utilized to bring in equipment to begin the construction of access to N . E . 3rd . Chris Wright , 120 Monterey Pl . N . E . , stated that he would like to see some time limit set on how long the contractor can bring heavy construction equipment up Blaine . Paul Houser, 57 Monterey Dr . , questioned the 35 foot height limit in the R- 1 zone , indicating that it is his feeling that it is a little high . He stated he preferred a natural area buffer along Monterey Terrace . He also noted his concern that the problem of the location of the access road should be addressed . William Cokeley , 64 Monterey P1 . N . E . , inquired regarding how construction would be accomplished in the R- 1 zone , noting the topography of the property . It was noted by Mr . DeBoer, the Chairman , and the Planning Director that a definite proposal for development is not avail - able at this time . However, when it is submitted , further public review will be offered . Mr. Salter , noting that construction is going to cause some disruption , stated he is more concerned about the quality of the development . Noting no further public input , IT WAS MOVED BY GIST , SECONDED BY WIK, THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE CLOSED . MOTION CARRIED. IT WAS THEN AC ^ION: MOVED BY WIK, SECONDED BY MOLA , THAT WE RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE SUBJECT APPLICATION FOR REZONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COVENANTS THAT WERE PRESENTED THIS EVENING AN,!) AS AMENDED THIS EVENING , NAMELY THE AMENDMENT TO RESTRICT BUILDING HEIGHT IN THE R-2 PARCEL TO 35 FEET AND THE AMENDMENT TO THE ACCESS SECTION OF THE COVENANTS THAT THE DEVELOPER INSTALL TRAFFIC LIGHTS WHEN REQUIRED AND DETERMINED AS NECESSARY1BYTHETRAFFICENGINEERINGDIVISION. MOTION CARRIED. A recem;s was declared by the Chairman at 10 : 00 p . m . The meeting resumed at 10 : 15 p . m . with all members noted ab ove present . 5 - ADMINISTRATIVE : A.

Another meeting prior to the Planning Commission meeting on Janu- ary 19 , 1977 , was scheduled . FACTS AND CONSIDERATIONS : 1 . The area residents were primarily concerned about access on Blaine Ave . N . E . from the higher density area when developed . The committee reviewed the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the area together with the general cir- culation element providing for future access to N . E . 3rd Street . The committee felt that only emergency vehicle access should be allowed to Blaine Ave . N . E . from any future development of the subject site . 2 . The committee also studied the matter of potential traffic impacts to N . E . 3rd St . with the creation of a new street located east of Mt . Olivet Cemetery . They asked for a report from the Traffic Engineering Division . See attached report . ) 3 . Another major committee concern is the development of the site , and adequate city control of such development . It was felt that the degree of impact to the surrounding community will ultimately dependon the planning and specific development . The committee therefore reviewed with the applicant the possibility of development through the Planned Unit Development ( P . U . D . ) Ordinance . This was agreeable with the applicant and assures further city control of the specific development aspects of the property . 1.4 fit ,, • r t`:ttt?,..Wi;.:;`.4'• tubers , Planning Commission nuary 18 , 1977 age Two 4 . The committee also reviewed possible provisions for stimulating development of the property within a rea- sonable time period , rather than granting the rezone only to allow the resale of the property while the site remains undeveloped as is the case in other areas of the city . The committee established reasonable time frames for master planning and commencing develop- ment to be two and three years respectively . 5 . The committee is also concerned about preservation of the steep natural hillside area along the southerly portion of the property . The applicant proposed to maintain the area in its natural state . The committee is in full agreement with this concept . 6 . The question of utilities was studied . It was felt that present city requirements were sufficient to insure adequate utilities for future development . A 16 inch water main exists along N . E . 3rd Street , and a Metro Sewer Interceptor is available along Maple Valley Highway . 7 . The committee studied possible view obstruction to adjacent properties resulting from development of the site . The height limit of the R-2 zoning classification , which would be most proximate to Monterey Terrace if the rezone were approved , together with the 100 foot buffer area previously established by restrictive covenant , may provide sufficient height limitations and view protection . However , because of the height limit flexibility of the P . U . D. Ordinance an additional clause regarding maximum heights near Monterey Terrace should be added to the restrictive covenants . 8. The committee studied means of assuring that the above consideration would be secured as part of the rezone . The attached restrictive covenants involve the major areas of concern and would run with the land to guide its general development. The committee also feels that if the rezone is granted , the different zoning classifications on the subject site should be specifically described in legal form and on an exhibit map similar to that which is attached . trAv t MEMORANDUM DATE: January 17, 1977 TO: Del Bennett FROM: Paul Lumbert SUBJECT: Stoneway Concrete -- Request for 'Rezone The following traffic data is in response to the Planning Department mem: regarding the rezone request by Stoneway Concrete, Inc. 1. The existing traffic volume on NE 3rd Street at Blaine Ave. NE is 21,612 vehicles per day. The projected volume in twenty years will be 38,902 vehicles per day. 2. Approximately 700 to 900 vehicle trips would be generated by 300 - 350 multi-family residences. That would put say an additional 1,000 vehicles per day into the traffic flow on NE 3rd Street. 3. Stop signs would control traffic exiting this new roadway initially with increased control (traffic signal, channelizaticn, etc.) later as the traffic volume grows. NE 3rd Street traffic is generated from a large area that has a vast potential for future development and the traffic volume will grow •at the, same rate as the area development. The additional roadway nets as indicated on the comprehensive land use plan would help to disperse the traffic entering and exiting NE 3rd Street which would tend to lessen the impact of traffic at any one point.

Ericksen, Planning Director RE: PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING - STONEWAY Due to the complex nature of the request, the Stoneway application was originally continued to January 12 , 1977 . In view of the conflict with the initial planning seminar on the 12th, the Commission recom- he Stoneway public hearing be held on January 19th. Since the Stoneway application will be the sole item on the agenda, I see no reason why the hearing cannot be concluded -a. --that date.

The Commission ' s attention was directed to two docu- ments that had been distributed that would be the basis for discussion : " Land Use Planning in the State of Washington : The Role of Local Government" and " Ideas and Resources from the Small Towns Institute--Planning for Quality of Life and Economic Prosperity in your Community . " Ron Clark of the Office of Community Development will hold the meetings in Renton . Favorable discussion among the Commissioners followed . It was the general consensus that the seminar would provide a good basis for the new role of the Commission . It was also noted that other City officials and representa- ti ‘ es would be encouraged to participate . D.

E-900-76 ; request for exception to subdivision ordinance for a three-lot short plat ; property located in the vicn n ity of 2625 Jones Ave . N . E . The Chairman opened the item for consideration and requested staff review. The Planning Director and Associate Planner Smith advised that the applicant has revised his request from a three- lot short plat to a four-lot short plat and is requesting an exception to the Subdivision Ordinance to allow serving the two rear lots with 170 foot long pipestems . Alternatives were considered ; lot sizes were noted ; and access was reviewed . It was indicated that the proposed configuration would allow for best utilization of the property , and the staff recommends approval . Commission discussion followed concerning off-site improvements ; existing improvements were noted ; and Associate Planner Smith advised that the applicant is aware of Subdivision Ordinance requirements but has not asked for a waiver of off-site improve- ments . The Planning Director advised that the Planning Commis- sion recommendation would be submitted to the City Council and indicated findings that the Commission must make prior to any recommendation for approval . Location of the pipestems adja- cent to each other were cited . Further Planning Commission review ensued , and the following were considered : location , width , and length of the pipestems ; the possibility of a cul -de-sac configuration ; and provisions for access . It was noted that the question before the Commis- sion was whether or not it is reasonable that the pipestems be 170 feet in length rather than 150 feet as required by ordi - nance . Considration was also given to the conditions for improvement of the pipestem. IT WAS THEN MOVED BY WALKER , SE :ONDED BY TEEGARDEN , THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE CLOSED . MOTION CARRIED .

R-891-76 ATTENDANCE : Bylund Wik , Chairman ; Tony Mola , Committee member ; Michael Smith , Planning Department ; Robert DeBoer, Stoneway Concrete ; Jim Colt , Mt . Olivet Cemetery . DISCUSSION : 1 . Briefly reviewed the site characteristics , surround- ing uses , zoning , Comprehensive Plan , utilities , and access problems related to the subject request . 2 . Both the applicant and committee felt that alternate access was necessary . The eventual closing of Blaine Ave . to the site and its utilization for emergency access only was discussed. 3 . Potential densities and possible development under the P . U . D. Ordinance were discussed . The applicant agreed that P. U . D. development would be the most applicable alternative for the site . 4 . The committee also reviewed the possibility of the zoning , if granted , reverting back to its existing zoning if a master P . U. D. plan is not submitted and construction begun within certain established time periods . 5 . The committee discussed the options of contract zoning and conditional zoning with restrictive covenants running with the land establishing certain specific conditions of approval . 6 . View obstructions and open space related to the site were also reviewed . 7 . It was indicated to the applicant that an Environ- mental Impact Statement will more than likely be required at the time of development . CONCLUSIONS : The committee felt that staff should explore further the alternatives of contract zoning and conditional zoning and the detailed conditions that would be necessary . Proper safeguards to the community , access controls , and development controls , and reversionary zoning were the primary concerns of the committee .

Environmental Checklist No. eG•/Po' 7C PROPOSED, date:FINAL , date : N' ElDeclaration of SignificanceDeclaration of Significance ElDeclaration of Non-Significance . ; .. Declaration of Non-Significance COMMENTS : Introduction The State Environmental Policy Act of 1971. Chapter 43.21C, RCW, requires all statU and local governmental agencies to consider environmental values both for their own actions and when licensing private proposals . The Act also requires that an EIS be prepared for all major actions significantly affecting the quality of the environment . The purpcse of this checklist is to help the agencies involved determine whether or not a proposal is such a major action. Please answer the following questions as completely as you can with the information presently available to you. Where explanations of your answers are required , or where you believe an explanation would be helpful to government decision makers , include your explanation in the space provided, or use additional pages if necessary. You should include references to any reports or studies of which you are aware and which are rele- vant to :he answers you provide. Complete answers to these questions now will help all agencies involved with your proposal to undertake the required environmental review with- out unnecessary delay. The following questions apply to your total proposal , not just to the license for which you are currently applying or the proposal for which approval is sought . Your answers should include the impacts which will be caused by your proposal when it is completed, even though completion may not occur until sometime in the future. This will allow all of the agencies which will be involved to complete their environmental review now, with- out duplicating paperwork in the future. NOTE : This is a standard form being used by all state and local agencies in the State of Washington for various types of proposals . Many of the questions may not apply to your proposal . If a question does not apply, just answer it "no" and continue on to the next question. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM I . BA:KGROUND 1 . Name of Proponent toneway Concrete, Inc., 2 .

Legal Description B. Assessors Map C. N.E. Renton Comprehensive Plan Gentlemen: Environmental Research and Development Corporation as General Partner of that property legally described on attachment "A" and indicated on the attached assessors map (attachment "B") , herewith submit for your approval the reclassification of the subject property to conform with the City of Rentons northeast comprehensive plan dated December 1981 (attachment "C") . As outlined in that comprehensive plan, we feel justification for the reclassification is logical and timely and will address the scope of plan and implementing policies that apply to that reclassification. 3.A. LAND DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE: Growth and development should occur in a timely and logical progression of the existing urban area to maximize the use of existing services. POLICY COMMENTS: 1. The reclassification would not be a premature development in that it is compatible with the present uses in the vacinity (re: proximity to the downtown core and major work and recreational sites) . 2. The reclassification is within the urban fringe. 3. The reclassification is surrounded by either developed properties, quasi-public land, recreational land or major arterials. 4. The reclassification has a 42-inch metro sewer trunk within 200' feet of the property (Maple Valley Highway) . 5. The reclassification is in close proximity to the major commercial and industrial sites of the city. 6. The reclassification would be an upgrade of the property. 7. Not applicable. 18000 Pacific Highway South,Suite 1115,Seattle, Washington 98188 (206)244-0080 Office of the Land Use Hearing Examiner December 9, 1982 Page 2 8. Not applicable. 9. Not applicable. 10. Not applicable. 11. The reclassification is definite and reasonable in that the need for housing near work centers is important in todays economy and the buffering" of single family residences to high density multi-family within the reclassification is in keeping with modern zoning concepts. IMPLEMENTING POLICIES LAND USE OBJECTIVES: Policy 3. Land development should progress logically from west to east on the east Renton plateau and from south to north in the Kennydale and Hazelwood areas. Comments: As the reclassification is on the westerly rim of the east Renton plateau, it should have priority for reclassification. COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE: Not applicable. COMMUNITY FACILITIES OBJECTIVE: Policy 1. To project life and property, the Highlands Fire Station should be moved easterly to the vacinity of Sunset Boulevard N.E. and Union Avenue N.E. , while a new fire station should be developed in the Kennydale area. Comments: The existing fire station south of S.E. 128th on 156th S.E. would serve the reclassification by both the Maple Valley Highway and N.E. 3rd. TRANSPORTATION OBJECTIVE: Policy 2. All east west arterial corridors including the Maple Valley Hwy. , N.E. 3rd/N.E. 4th/S.E. 128th Streets and Sunset Boulevard should be primarily utilized for arterial street purposes. Land use activities which disrupt arterial street movements should be minimized. Comments: With the improvement requirements of the intersection at N.E.3rd and Edmonds Avenue by Homecraft Land Development Co. , Inc. and future latecomers, the reclassification would not disrupt the anticipated arterial movements of N.E. 3rd. Office of the Land Use Hearing Examiner December 9, 1982 Page 3 ARTERIAL STREET IMPROVEMENT OBJECTIVE: Policy 2. Edmonds Avenue N.E. should be extended southerly from N.E. 4th to the Maple Valley Hwy. Comments: The extension of Edmonds Avenue N.E. to the Maple Valley Hwy. would pass in close proximity to the northeast corner of the reclassification, thereby enhancing the need for that policies objective. UTILITIES OBJECTIVE: Police 1. The availability of sanitary sewers should be a prerequisite for new land development. Comments: A representative of the Renton Sewer Utility has indicated that a sewer tie-in to a metro 42-inch sewer trunk could be accom- plished by installing an 8-inch line down the bluff along the southwest side of the site and across the Maple Valley Hwy. , SR-169)(Dick Houghton, Renton Sewer Utility, 1/21/80.

The Comprehensive Plan represents a long-range framework for decision-making related to the issues of growth and physical development of the City. Adoption of the Northeast Quadrant Comprehensive Plan, like the previously adopted Southeast and Green River Valley Plans, will supercede those portions of the 1965 city-wide plan which are in conflict with this revision. The Northeast Quadrant Committee used a sub-area approach in preparing this plan amendment. Sixteen sub-areas of the Northeast Quadrant were identified and at least three different land use arrangements were developed for each sub-area. For the purpose of an early analysis and comparison, a weighted environmental matrix was used to qualitatively rank each of the sub-area alternatives. Three plans were then created by combining sub-area alternatives with low, medium and high estimated environmental consequences. These plans generally reflect a range of land use Intensities and are titled the LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH Density Plans. The recommended NORTHEAST COMPREHENSIVE PLAN is a composite of the three working draft plans. MAP 1) 1.SCOPE OF PLAN PROPOSALS The Northeast Quadrant Comprehensive Plan provides a policy framework for growth and development for those areas of Renton north of the Cedar River and east of the 1-405 Freeway and Lake Washington. Although the Land Use Element map Illustrates the ultimate pattern of development, actual development of property will occur over the next 20 to 50 years. Not all areas designated for urban uses In the Land Use Element will be appropriate for development within the 1990 time-frame of the Plan. As a result, 'he discussion of Issues such as utilities, transportation and other services are only adequate for projected development through the year 1990. The proposed Northeast Quadrant Plan covers nearly 11,700 acres, with the projected development of 4590 households providing for a population increase of about 12,750 persons between 1978 and 1990. The following figures Illustrate some of the changes expected by 1990. NORTHEAST PLANNING AREA 1978 Single Family Households 8,680 Multiple Family Households 2,140 Total Population 30,300 1990 Single Family Households 11,410 0273 Multiple Family Households 4,000 t /340 Estimated Population 43,050 7y 0 Full development (After the year 2000) Single Family Households 35,000 Multiple Family Households 15,000 Estimated Population 110,000 The currently available public service, utility and transportation systems are not capable of accommodating full development of the Planning area. Further, unknown or unforeseen dimensions of policy, energy, environmental and other considerations will affect future decisions on land use within the Planning area. Therefore, the Plan Elements which address the infra- structure for accommodating physical development illustrate only those facilities which will be required to support 1990 population levels. However, the location of specific developments is difficult to anticipate, so the infrastructure plans will, in most cases, provide service to a population base which would not exist before the mid-1990's. Current City policy states that urban growth and development, as well as services and utilities to support such growth, should only occur in a logical and timely progression. The distinction between lands which are "potentially appropriate" and sites which are ready now" for a specific land use is important. Section 3.A. of the adopted Policies Element of the Comprehensive Plan recommends maximizing the use of available utility and service resources and provides crucial guidance to the Hearing Examiner and City Council in making this distinction. 3.A. LAND DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE: Growth and development should occur in a timely and logical progression of the existing urban area to maximize the use of existing services. POLICIES: 1. To minimize the necessity for redevelopment, premature development should only be allowed where it can be shown to be compatible with future uses In the vicinity. 2.Development beyond the urban fringe should only be allowed where it is a consistent extension of urban services. 3.Vacant land surrounded by developed land should be given priority for development. 4.Land where adequate public utilities are available shout be given priority for development. 5.A balance of residential, commercial, and industrial areas should be achieved. 6. The upgrading and/or redevelopment of marginal areas should be encouraged. 7. The City should identify its sphere of influence. 8. Annexations should have logical boundaries. 9.To reduce processing time and effort and provide for efficient use of existing public facilities, large annexations should be encouraged. 10. Annexations that are economically advantageous should be encouraged. 11. Development requirements should be definite and reasonable. The fiscal impacts of prudent consideration of these policies Is obvious. If new growth can be accommodated at an average cost of, for example, $5.00 per person, it would not be appropriate to develop a service system which costs $ 10.00 per person. By consciously directing future land use and infrastructure decisions to certain neighberhoods or corridors, both fiscal and environmental consequences can be reduced. Of equal importance, however, Is the need to remain flexible to future needs of the planning area. If population growth substantially exceeds the projections considered In this Plan, adjustments In both policy and service development must be made. It would be just as inappropriate to fail to accommodate a demonstrated need for expanded development, as it would to over-zone or over-extend utilities and services. Il.ELEMENTS OF THE PLAN -- Land Use The land use distribution within the plan closely follows the primary transportation corridors. Higher intensity land uses (multiple family, commercial and employment) are concentrated primarily along NE 3rd/NE 4th and Sunset Blvd. Other areas of multiple family or commercial development are located adjacent to 1-405 Freeway at the Maple Valley Highway, north of Park Drive along Lake Washington Blvd. and near NE 44th. Neighborhood commercial areas are planned at SE 72nd and Coal Creek Parkway and SE 128th and I64th Avenue SE. The plan also designates single family, public/quasi-public, recreational and greenbelt uses. In addition to the land use categories currently found in the Comprehensive plan, the Northeast Quadrant Plan contains another designation. Within the planning area there are a number of areas which are not appropriate for residential purposes, but which could adversely impact the natural environment if developed to typical commercial standards. Therefore, a new land use classification of OFFICE PARK is proposed which is intended to allow the broadest range of commercial, professional or administrative offices to be located In a "park-like" or "campus" setting. Development within an OFFICE PARK should institute the highest degree of architectural compatibility to the site, include major setbacks from public streets and adjacent uses, provide for up to 20% of the site to be retained in landscaped open space, and integrate significant natural elements contained on the site into the overall design. Community Facilities The Community Facilities Element recognizes those facilities, such as schools, parks, fire stations, libraries and related similar uses, which are public/quasi-public. The plan proposes some expansion of existing park areas and school facilities to improve their recreational capabilities. Recognizing the rapidly urbanizing nature of the Planning Area, there is a significant need for active recreational facilities normally included In a park with a minimum site area of five to ten acres. As urbanization increases, the need for such park facilities as baseball diamonds, playground equipment, and tennis courts will substantially increase and these facilities should be provided. Potential park areas, as indicated on Map 2 and the land use map, may show a general area of need rather than a specific site or location. The Plan as proposed does not project the need for additional school facilities in view of the existing facilities available, declining school enrollment in some areas, and the possibility of bussing students to gain maximum use of present facilities and the public investment therein. Generally, fire stations, libraries and other public facilities are Indicated just as they currently exist. Transportation/Circulation Circulation within the Northeast Quadrant is dominated by three east-west and three north-south corridors. t' RTHEAST RENTON r COMPREHENSIVE PLAN seu MAP 1 L SF ce s, tab..::.*':::::::: : :::::::: h•:: . . . ...... .1 w 0 _r I., l'. ..':.....,.... i..., ........ : SINGE COMMERCIALFAMILY LOW DENSITY I v OFFICE/C MULTI-FAMILY A OFFICE PARK 41)\it.

Besides these arterial corridors, numerous collector and minor streets provide access to individual parcels. The Circulation Element Map (Map 3) recognizes existing streets and arterials as the circulation network for the Northeast Planning Area. In addition, the Plan identifies two corridors `which are expected to augment circulation in the planning area. First, Edmonds Avenue N.E. is proposed to be extended from N.E. 3rd southerly to Maple Valley Highway. This link will help to reduce traffic which must currently utilize the Sunset Blvd. N. Intersections at Bronson Way and N.E. 3rd for local access trips. The second Improvement, which was previously identified In the Southeast Quadrant Plan, calls for an arterial link connecting the East Renton and Soos Creek plateaus. The intent of this corridor is to connect the 138th Avenue S.E. and 140th Place S.E. systems across the Cedar River Valley. No specific route is proposed by the Plan. The proposed Plan recognizes the difficulty in attempting to accommodate anticipated new development while retaining the existing emphasis upon the single occupant vehicle as the primary transportation mode. The Plan proposes the implementation of non-roadway solutions to circulation problems wherever the cost effectiveness of those approaches exists. The Plan encourages alternatives to the private automobile, including transit, carpool and park-n-ride opportunities. The efforts of METRO Transit, the Department of Transportation and local Jurisdictions to provide these services In a manner which discourages private automobile use at peak hours is endorsed. The Plan calls for implementation of park-n-ride/park-n-pool facilities at locations east of 138th Avenue S.E. to serve East Renton Plateau residents. Transit and carpool facilities should be emphasized In those areas where development density is sufficient to support their utilization. High occupancy vehicle lanes on FAI-405 and key arterial corridors are also endorsed by the Plan where the cost/benefit relationship warrants such installations. Utilities The majority of the incorporated land within the planning area has water, sanitary sewers and storm drainage available. The Renton Public Works Department has developed Comprehensive Plans for additional water and sewer service within the city franchise areas. Storm drainage, however, Is currently handled on a case-by-case basis. The Northeast Quadrant Plan recognizes these existing utility plans, as well as W.D. 90 and W.D. 107 plans, while endorsing those sections of the POLICIES ELEMENT related to utility development and extension. For those segments of the planning area where utilities are unavailable, the Plan recognizes the need for their extension to serve the land use development expected through 1990. However, the Plan recommends the Installation of utilities only in those areas where the utility extensions logically enhance new development potentials. These areas are Identified generally as located west of 142nd Avenue S.E. from the Cedar River Valley northerly to the May Creek Valley. North of May Creek, new utilities should be concentrated west of 116th Avenue S.E. north to the Lake Boren area. Extension of utilities to currently unserviced areas should be consistent with good engineering practice and existing policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Cost effectiveness of utility extensions should consider both capital and maintenance and operating costs, In conjunction with the relative costs versus benefits of extending urban development Into the new service areas. Policies The Policies Element of the Comprehensive Plan was adopted by the City Council in February 1981. These goals, policies and objectives apply to the city as a whole, but are incorporated specifically within the Northeast Quadrant Comprehensive Plan. The Land Use Element and other elements of the proposed Plan should not be viewed without recognition of the policy guidelines provided by this document. NORTHEAST C011APREHENSIVE PLAN IMPLEMENTING POLICIES LAND USE OBJECTIVE: The Land Use Element of the Northeast Quadrant Comprehensive Plan is intended to be a general guide to land use decision making. POLICIES: 1.Land use decisions within the Northeast Quadrant should be consistent with available transportation, community facilities, and utilities. 2.The Land Use Plan illustrates full development, and not every parcel is appropriate for development within the 1990 time-frame of the plan. 3.Land development should progress logically from west to east on the East Renton Plateau and from south to north in the Kennydale and Hazelwood areas. 4.To help balance home to work traffic trips the Land Use Plan strongly endorses employment opportunities in the vicinity of N.E. 44th and Interstate 405 and the vicinity of N.E. 4th and Duvall Avenue N.E. 5.An Office Park land use classification should be developed consistent with the following design criteria: a.Provide for a transitional land use intensity consistent with both commercial and residential areas and the natural environment. b.Provide for a broad range of commercial, professional and administrative offices in a "park-like" or "campus" setting. c.Provide for a high degree of architectural compatibility with the site Including major setbacks from public streets and adjacent uses. d. Provide for up to 20% of the site to be retained in landscape open space. e. Integrate significant natural elements contained on the site Into the overall design. f.Provide for accessory retail uses consistent with an office setting. 6.Approximately 60 acres of office park should be accommodated along N.E. 4th generally between Union and Duvall in accordance with land use policy #4 above. 7.Where appropriate design can be developed, mixed residential and business uses should be accommodated in commercial land use designations. 8.Upon implementation of the community shopping center allowed by Commercial Development Policy #6, the land uses adjoining the commercial and office land use designations should be re-evaluated in light of location of the community shopping center. COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE: The Land Use Plan should provide for sufficient retail services to accommodate the projected residential population. POLICIES: 1.Commercial uses developed along N.E. 4th Street and along Sunset Boulevard N.E. should be oriented within shopping centers or other sizeable complexes. 2.Strip commercial development should only be allowed when no other design alternative is available. 3.Commercial development should be designed to limit the number of access points to arterial streets. 4.Commercial development along major arterials should be designed with private perimeter access roadways which concentrate arterial street access at a minimum number of points. 5.Multiple family residential uses should be encouraged as buffers between commercial uses and less intensive uses. 6.The Land Use Plan recognizes that one Community- scale retail shopping center 20+ acres) Is justified by the anticipated market for the area along N.E. 4th within the City limits during the life of the plan. Sufficient area is designated at N.E. 4th St. and Union Avenue N.E. to provide for community shopping facilities at the northwest, northeast, and southeast corners and available at the northeast corner of N.E 4th and Duvall. Only one of these corners should be developed as a retail shopping center. Upon implementation of one shopping complex, the Comprehensive Plan should be evaluated for appropriate use of the remaining corners. 7. Retail commercial facilities at S.E. 128th St. and 164th Avenue S.E. should be sufficient to serve residents of the unincorporated East Renton Plateau without requiring retail trips to be extended into the city of Renton. 8.Retail commercial uses along the Maple Valley Highway should be generally located immediately east of the Cedar River Park and not extended in strip development easterly along the Highway. COMMUNITY FACILITIES OBJECTIVE: Community facilities should be sufficient to accommodate the level of population anticipated in the Plan. POLICIES: 1.To protect life and property, the Highlands Fire Station should be moved easterly to the vicinity of Sunset Boulevard N.E. and Union Avenue N.E., while a new fire station should be developed in the Kennydale area. 2.Priority park improvements should focus on fulfilling existing recreational needs. 3. Neighborhood parks should place a first priority on providing for active recreational activities, with resource based parks maintaining a lower priority. 4. The Comprehensive Park Plan should serve as the guide to new park construction and design. TRANSPORTATION OBJECTIVE: The Northeast Quadrant Plan proposes an integrated transportation system including private vehicles and pedestrian/bicycle facilities. POLICIES: 1.The Northeast Quadrant Comprehensive Plan strongly endorses the need for a traffic study to thoroughly evaluate all of the transportation requirements to accommodate the proposed level of development. 2. All east/west arterial corridors including the Maple Valley Highway, N.E. 3rd/N.E. 4th/S.E. 128th Streets and Sunset Boulevard streets should be primarily utilized for arterial street purposes. Land use activities which disrupt arterial street movements should be minimized. 3. Mass transit opportunities through effective land use design should be encouraged. 4. Park and ride and park and pool facilities should be provided at strategic locations, with particular emphasis upon facilities east of the current city limits to minimize impacts upon existing City streets. 5. Pedestrian and bicycle paths and trails should be developed between residential and commercial areas to minimize the requirement for vehicular trips to provide for convenience shopping. ARTERIAL STREET IMPROVEMENT OBJECTIVE: To provide for sufficient vehicular movement opportunities, the arterial street system should be expanded. POLICIES: 1.138th Avenue S.E. should be extended southerly in an alignment which will provide for connection to 140th Place S.E. connecting the East Renton Plateau and the Soos Creek Plateau with a north/south arterial connection. 2. Edmonds Avenue N.E. should be extended southerly from N.E. 4th Street to the Maple Valley Highway. 3. An arterial street extension should be extended westerly from the southerly terminus of Union Avenue S.E. to the proposed southerly extension of Edmonds Avenue S.E. on an alignment at approximately S.E. 3rd Street. 4. An environmental and engineering analysis should be accomplished to determine the feasibility of extending Edmonds Avenue N.E. across May Creek to connect with 116th Avenue S.E. 5. Development along Duvall Avenue N.E. (138th Avenue S.E.) should be designed with specialized setbacks and landscaping design to create a "boulevard" architectural effect. UTILITIES OBJECTIVE: To accommodate the proposed level of growth safe and healthful public utilities should be provided. POLICIES: 1. The availability of sanitary sewers should be a prerequisite for new land development. 2. The Honeycreek Sewer Interceptor should be constructed. 3. Sanitary sewer interceptors should be constructed in the Maplewood Creek Sewer Drainage Basin. 4.During the life of the plan, City utilities should only be extended to 142nd Avenue S.E. south of May Creek, and 116th Avenue S.E. north of May Creek. 5. The May Creek Basin Plan for storm drainage should be implemented by the City in conjunction with other jurisdictions. 6.Development proposals should be conditioned or modified to maintain compliance with the May Creek Basin Plan. 7. Stream corridor guidelines, as set forth in the May Creek Basin Plan should be implemented during development review for all greenbelt streams in the Northeast Planning Area. 8. Areas designated as "greenbelt" should be considered critical areas for storm drainage purposes. 9.Geographical areas upstream from critical storm drainage areas should also be considered critical storm drainage areas.
