The Committee, having concluded that the Hearing Examiner committed substantial errors in fact and law, recommended reversal of his decision. Further, the application for the proposed short plat, with the condition that the restrictive covenants be imposed, should be approved. The requirement of off-site improvements was previously imposed on the westerly lot (Sikh Church).

OLD BUSINESS At Council President Keolker's request, City Attorney Warren explained Transportation Mitigation effect of Legislative House Bill 1817, facilitating public and private funding Fees (HB 1817) of local transportation improvements. Major problems with this bill are that it requires the City to have funding in place before charging transportation mitigation fees, and it would allow'the developer to pay fees in a lump sum without interest or by installment with reasonable interest over a five-year period. Positive aspects of the bill ace that the transportation mitigation fee is considered not to be a tax, and it validates mitigation fees as authorized by statute. Ms. Keolker stated that unless\Council members direct otherwise, the City Attorney will continue to monitor'this bill. CIS `` February 22. 1988 Renton City Council Minut Pane 58 (1) ( AUDIENCE COMMENT Billy Hofmeister, 326 Burnett Avenue N., Renton, urged increased police Citizen Comment: enforcement to control parties and associated drug use by minors at his Hoffmeister - Police apartment residence. Mayor Clymer reported prior receipt of written Enforcement complaint which has been referred to the Police Department for enforcement; however, he advised that a citation cannot be issued unless the incident is witnessed by an officer. Citizen Comment: Shook Helen Shook, 1405 N. 24th Street, Renton, reported that a retaining wall, - N. 24th Street rockery and hedge are encroaching five to eight feet into the public right-of- Encroachments way on N. 24th Street, a platted, dedicated 30-foot street in the Kennydale area. Noting difficulty for two vehicles to pass on N. 24th at the Meadow Avenue N. intersection, and doubt that a local improvement district would be approved by residents for street improvements, Mrs. Shook urged the City to require property owners to move property lines back to proper location. She questioned whether the City would be liable for any accident occurring in that location if it failed to take corrective action; and claimed that a business is being operated in one of the homes, noting numerous vehicles, trailers and r a boat parked on or near the narrow roadway. MOVED BY REED, SECONDED BY KEOLKER, COUNCIL REFER THIS MATTER TO THE ADMINISTRATION. CARRIED. Citizen Comment: Post - George Post, 1122 S. 27th Place, Renton, urged timely disposition of the Victoria Hills Phase II matter of the Victoria Hills FPUD. Mayor Clymer advised limited authority FPUD-042-85 by the City over appeal or court processes.

He pointed out that because most of the vegetation has been removed and remaining trees will probably not survive due to root damage, the potential for mudslides into backyards of existing homes is increased, and he urged that the situation be rectified. Citizen Comment: Evans Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11 th Place, Renton, asked whether the City can - Fire Hazard on Monroe require the owner of a 1.3 acre vacant site, located between NE 1 l th Place NE and NE 12th on the east side of Monroe Avenue NE, to clear overgrown Scotch broom which has become a fire hazard.

Citizen Comment: Regarding proposed Fairwood annexation, Mrs. Zimmerman asked whether Zimmerman - Fairwood City residents would be able to vote on acceptance of such a large annexation Annexation Advisory area. City Attorney Warren suggested that Renton residents should contact Ballot Council members with concerns since only the annexing area would have a vote on the matter.

SPECIAL Dennis Lensegrav, manager of the Puget Power business office in Renton, PRESENTATION presented plaques to representatives of the Fire and Police Departments who Community Event: Puget assisted in the Puget Power Challenge Series race car event held during Power Challenge Series Renton River Days for handicapped children. Appreciation was extended to Chief Alan Wallis, Captain Don Persson, and Officer Jim Hajny from the Police Department; and Chief Lee Wheeler, Karl Rufener, Allen Koskovich, Charles Richardson, Jim Thompson, and Mike Cabage of the Fire Department. AUDIENCE COMMENT Allen Jett, 583 Kirkland Avenue NE, Renton, asked whether new Citizen Comment: Jett - information has been received supporting the claim of the Building RVTI Rezone Department that the entire RVTI campus was not included in the rezone and !subject to the Hearing Examiner's conditions. Mayor Shinpoch reiterated Mr. Jett's contention that stipulations were not fully adhered to for RVTI to place a berm, a setback and landscaping to protect the single family homes on !Jefferson and Kirkland; and the Building Department's contention that a I second site plan review will be required for proposed buildings facing !J efferson and will include a determination regarding berming and landscaping. Building and Zoning Official Ron Nelson displayed a I preliminary drawing dated 6/16/86 submitted by RVTI indicating construction activity and designating a division line between existing and proposed construction. He advised that although landscaping to the south is not as dense as that provided along Kirkland, the landscaped area is more expansive. Mr. Jett questioned landscaping for the health services building currently under construction outside the designated construction area on the south end of the site. It was Mr. Nelson's opinion that subsequent site plan review would be required for the remaining site area, and existing 1 landscaping on the campus meets the intent of the Hearing Examiner's requirements. Mayor Shinpoch reported that the matter appears to be stalemated. CONSENT AGENDA Items on the Consent Agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the listing.

Swearing-In Ceremony ' , City Clerk Motor reported that the newly elected Mayor and Council members will be sworn in on December 28, 1987. AUDIENCE COMMENT Allen and Kathleen Jett, 583 Kirkland Avenue NE, Renton, questioned interpretation by the Building Department of Hearing Examiner's conditions on the Renton Vocational Technical Institute (RVTI) expansion plan, specifically landscaping and berming required on the western and northern property lines. Mayor Shinpoch explained interpretation by Building Director that the requirement applies only to property lines abutting new construction, and if requirements are not met by RVTI, occupancy permits will be withheld. Circulating a colored map of the subject site, Mr. Jett indicated that the health services building on the south side of the site appears to be under construction, and he questioned whether building permits have been issued for the work. City Attorney Warren explained distinction`between violation of conditions, which requires enforcement by the City, and an administrative determination by the Building Director due to ambiguity in conditions; which can be appealed to the HearingUExaminer. Mrs. Jett questioned review process in which residents learn much too late that the Building Director has interpreted conditions differently than residents, noting lack of plans for residents to review for Phase II development.

Shinpoch MO Mayor, The City of Renton R 2 �- 200 Mill Avenue South 11 C j11Renton, Washington 98055 OC Re: RVTI Campus Expansion Project Dear Mayor Shinpoch: I am writing this letter in order to relay some of my concerns regarding continuing difficulties I am encountering accessing City records regarding the above-referenced matter. As you know, these records are public and I fail to understand why I am not able to find documents/letters in the files given to me to review when these same items are referenced in letters which are in the files . Also, earlier this month, when I went to the City Clerk' s office to review the files that had been sent down to her, I discovered several letters and one booklet that I had never seen before that had substantial import and I feel would have been very beneficial had I been aware of their existence some months ago. This City Clerk' s office has always been very helpful and courteous to me and this letter is in no way directed to anyone in that office. It is , however, directed to the Building & Zoning Department in general and Roger Blaylock in particular. On April 3 , at approxi- mately 4 : 00 p.m. , I stopped by the Building & Zoning Department to inquire whether Mr. Nelson had prepared, or would be preparing that day, a response to the Renton School District ' s request for reconsideration of his opinion as expressed in his March 11 , 1986 , letter to The Campanella Group, Inc. The secretary advised me that she had not been given anything to type yet and no one in the office could tell me whether Mr. Nelson would be sending a response that day or not . I next asked if I could review the Building & Zoning Department ' s files on the RVTI rezone/campus expansion project. A rather thin manila file was brought out to me to review. After reviewing this file and pointing out to the secretary that there was nothing in the file after (approxi- mately) January 20, I asked where all the letters, inter-office NO c o i eS `fo CI+ y C.tr-k or i h C C ter k.'s Pies � • The Honorable Barbara Y. Shinpoch April 23, 1986 Page Two memoranda, etc. were which had transpired after late January and she said that she would check for me. She then went into the back room and returned with Roger Blaylock who proceeded to tell me that all the files that the Building & Zoning Department kept upstairs was their "working" file and that the complete record was sent down to the City Clerk. Therefore, I should go down- stairs and review her files. Even though I knew he was giving me the run-around, I went downstairs because I had intended to review the Clerk ' s files, as well as the Hearing Examiner ' s file. One of the items that was in the material that the Clerk brought me was a booklet containing among other things a letter dated July 19 , 1985 , from The Campanella Group to The Hearing Examiner. Even though I have reviewed the City' s files on the RVTI project in the past, this is the first time I have been given this booklet to review. Additionally, there were a couple of inter-departmental memoranda which I have not seen before in the Clerk ' s files. After obtaining some photocopies of these "new" items, I went back upstairs to speak with Roger Blaylock again. I told him that I had reviewed all of the Clerk ' s files, as well as the Hearing Examiner' s file, and still was unable to locate what I was looking for. Mr. Blaylock then stated that perhaps if he knew specifically what I was looking for he could help me. I then told him that I wanted to review correspondence between The Campanella Group, Inc. and the Building & Zoning Department concerning drawings that had been submitted by The Campanella Group, Inc. regarding Phase II of the RVTI expansion project. Mr. Blaylock again went into the back room and returned with a manila file entitled "Construction. " He then proceeded to tell me that what I had reviewed before was the "Rezone" file and, of course, the documents I wanted were not in that file . Mayor Shinpoch, I believe (and please correct me if I 'm wrong ) that all of the City' s departmental files are public record and I have a every right to review them. When I go into a depart- ment and ask to review their files on a particular subject, I feel that the City employees have a legal obligation to give me all of the files . If there are many volumes, it is certainly reasonable to advise me (as the Clerk ' s office has done in the past ) that there are several/numerous volumes and ask me which ones I want to review. It is of utmost concern to me that in the past information has been either deliberately or inadvertently withheld from my review and this is a very serious situation which I think you should be aware of . Perhaps I 'm not asking for the files correctly and, if that ' s the case, I would appreciate your assistance in properly phrasing my request. Also, it would be The Honorable Barbara Y. Shinpoch April 23, 1986 Page Three helpful if you would advise me all of the City Departments that maintain files on the RVTI expansion project. When I asked to review the Fire Department ' s file, I was told that they did not maintain a file on the RVTI project--that they respond to requests for information from the Building & Zoning Department and that Building & Zoning maintains the file on the project--they do not. I would like to review all inter-office memoranda and/or writings between the Fire Department and the Building & Zoning Department and I would like to know where these items are filed. Next , of equal concern to me, is the fact that on February 28, 1986 , Mr. E. Mark Smith forwarded " . . .drawings to assist the Building Department, Fire Marshall and Zoning Department in evalu- ating this next phase of construction. " (See Exhibit "A" attached. ) On March 11, 1986 , Mr. Ronald G. Nelson, Building & Zoning Director, responded to Mr. Smith by stating in part: "The location, size and configuration proposed are, in my opinion, major changes. " (See Exhibit "B" attached. ) On March 12 I forwarded a letter to Mr. Nelson which stated: "In regard to the RVTI campus expansion, have any new plans been filed for any buildings other than the construction technology center or the automotive complex? If so, what if any action has been taken with regard to any such plans?" (See Exhibit "C" attached. ) Mr. Nelson responded to my letter on March 13 by stating: "After checking with staff , I was informed that no new plans have been submitted for a permit. " (See Exhibit "D" attached ) . An incred- ible response, don ' t you think, considering the above-referenced correspondence which had previously taken place between Mr. Smith and Mr. Nelson? Lastly, I have attached a copy of of Mr. Smith' s letter to Mr. Nelson dated March 14 (Exhibit "E" ) protesting Mr. Nelson' s decision as contained in his letter dated March 11. I hope the incidents I have cited above adequately illustrate the inaccurate and/or misleading responses I have received in the past from the Building & Zoning Department. I believe this is also a very serious situation and again one which the City administration should be aware. Finally, I wish to emphasize that the RVTI expansion project is of paramount interest to me and I intend to closely monitor its progress until its completion. In order to accomplish this end, I must have access to all of the public files and drawings con- cerning this project in the possession of the City and in this regard, I am asking for your advice as to how I should request these files in the future.

RVTI Campus ' Letter from Allen and Kathleen Jett, Concerned Expansion Neighbors of RVTI, 583 Kirkland Avenue NE, expressed concern regarding changes in the ' electronics and campus center buildings at RVTI, citing disagreement with Building and Zoning ' Director Ron Nelson's opinion that the proposed ` changes are not major. Increased square footage ' and changes in configuration, addition of twin 4loading docks and open breezeways, and first floor '- elevation of the electronics building, as well as a 4,424 square foot increase in size of the campus center, were listed changes considered as ' substantial. It was noted this letter was not to be considered an appeal of an Administrative decision, but for Council information only. Continued Following discussion, it was moved by Stredicke, ( seconded by Mathews, in the event of appeal by Mr. and Mrs. Jett with regard to the RVTI property, Council be prepared to waive the fee. Motion failed. Mayor Shinpoch stressed that the charge iof $75 for filing an appeal was not designed to prevent appeals, but rather to discourage frivolous appeals and partially cover costs of staff processing time.

Contrary to Mr. Ronald Nelson' s final determination as contained in his letter to The Campanella Group dated April 7 , 1986, wherein he determines that the changes in the proposed electronics and campus center buildings are not major, we feel they are indeed major. We feel the increased- square footage of the electronics building combined with the changes in configuration constitute major changes from the original EIS submittal. When you combine these changes with the addition of twin loading docks and open breeze- ways along the west side of the building, we feel the character of the neighborhood will adversely have an industrial park flavor. The increased noise of large trucks accessing the loading docks and maneuvering for position, plus the noise from class changes, will be given an amphitheater-like amplification because of the position of the building relative to the neighboring residences, all adversely impacting the neighborhood. The first floor elevation of the electronics building 4 ' above Kirkland Avenue N. E. grade does not comply with the January 6, 1986 decision of the Hearing Examiner. Even though this decision was overturned in part by King County Superior 'Court Judge Quinn, all appeals have not been exhausted and as of this date, we are in the process of filing with the Court 'of Appeals. The campus center building which Mr. Nelson breezes over as not having substantial changes in his letter of 'April 7 in fact has an increase in square footage of 4 , 424 square feet--approximately 18%, almost a 1/5 increase in size. We believe this constitutes major change. /o .. ,' • i The Honorable, Mayor Barbara Shinpoch April 21, 1986 Page Two 1f We find Mr. Nelson' s shift in position regarding these matters from his letter of March 11 when he stated " . . .In our opinion these are major changes to the site" and will require additional public review to the position taken in his April 7th letter un- fathomable.

MEMORANDUM • • DATE: January 15, 1986 TO: Ronald Nelson, Building Official and Roger Blaylock, Zoning Administrator • FROM: Fred J. Kaufman, Hearing Examiner SUBJECT: JETT/RVTI Appeal AAD-104-85 and SA-096-84 Request for Clarification Gentlemen: I have reviewed your respective•requests for clarification regarding the above entitled matters and my response follows. I believe that the decision regarding the grade and fill. particularly Conclusions 22 and 24, permits the latitude necessary to reconfigure the site to "redefine certain contours east of the original proposal in order to accommodate the berm and sunken building elevations." In addition, Conclusion 17 states: "The campus design may have to be shifted east to accommodate the berm and landscaping. Similar eastward- shifting will help accommodate the sunken buildings." The first paragraph of Conclusion 17 closes as follows: "The site, therefore, should be • excavated as necessary to place the buildings no higher than the base elevation of Kirkland Ave." The original grading plans should suffice and allow the additional excavation referred to in your letter. The question remaining then is what is the basis-for making the necessary measurements? While testimony reflected the fact that the elevation or curb measurement should be, the same as the corresponding elevation of the crown of the street, the actual plans do indicate a slight difference. Rather than complicate matters any further or unnecessarily, the elevations for the two buildings currently:at issue-shall be the following: , • • i • • . • Construction Technology Building - 339 feet 1 inch Automotive Technology Building - 335 feet 4 inches These figures represent this Office's best estimate of the average grade (using the center line but acknowledging the curb/crown discrepencies) of the parallel or tangent section of Kirkland Avenue N.E., which is the appropriate street as previously determined. This Office is not in the position of ordering precise surveys nor does it appear either necessary or expedient. This Office is, therefore, limited to a certain precision based upon the information in the record. I hope this response provides sufficient information to permit the project to proceed in a reasonable fashion. If this office can be of any further assistance please feel free to call. Sincerely, FRED J. K FMAN HEARING EXAMINER cc: Mayor Shinpoch Lawrence Warren, City Attorney Allen Jett George Akers, Attorney Renton School District #403 William Snell, Attorney Kevin Smith James Hanson 1153 January 6, 1986 OFFICE OF THE HEARING EXAMINER CITY OF RENTON REPORT AND DECISION. APPELLANT: Allen & Kathleen Jett FILE NO. AAD-104-85 LOCATION: Renton School District #403 SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Appeal of alleged violations of conditions set out in Hearing Examiner Decision of August 1, 1985 by Renton Vocational Technical Institute (Rezone 095-84). Hearing Examiner Decision: The decision of the Building Department is affirmed in part, and reversed in part. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the appeal letter from Allen and Kathleen Jett dated December 16, 1985, and discussions with the attorneys involved to waive the ten day posting and notification period, the Hearing Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject • as follows: The Decision which follows is in response to the parties' request for a Summary Decision to expedite the process. It will be supplemented by a series of more specific Findings and Conclusions, as necessary, and a set of minutes of the proceedings. 1. This Office determines that the question of the height of the buildings was properly determined under the scope of the City of Renton's Ordinances, more particularly, Sections 4-702(B)(5) and Sections 4-702(H)(2). This determination is based upon the formula for height as measured by those provisions. It is supported by the second paragraph of Conclusion 4, among others, which contrasts the height of buildings permitted in the P-1 zone (50 feet) with those permitted in the R-1 zone (35 feet), the subject site's then current zoning. No attempt was made to compare the full physical height measured from outside ground level to tip of any roof or roof projection which the formulas could potentially permit. 2. The second primary issue, that of "What was to be the elevation of what is now known as, and is more technically defined as the finished floor for the various buildings' first floor or ground level," is found to be the average grade of the street, be it 7th on the north, or Kirkland or Jefferson on the west, at a point at a cross-section coinciding with the location of whichever particular building. Any number of factors demonstrate that the decision of the Building and Zoning Department which used the elevation of 345 feet, the high point of Kirkland at or near the intersection of Kirkland and 7th must be set aside. 3. Foremost, is that the entire .record supports the conclusion that the Renton School District was testing the defenses of the Decision now in question. Parrying over clearly prohibited driveways on the north and west, poking at the defenses of the `required northerly fence and thrusting at the reference point for placing ..the footings for the various buildings. 4. Exhibit # 11 from the current proceeding as well as the late submissions by the School District for the initial hearing support the determination. This 'office cannot be expected to ignore the course of the earlier proceeding. It is obvious the School District's representative understood the common meaning of base elevation as it applied to the project now under review. That exhibit cites a base elevation coinciding with the street - it's unfortunate he only chose to measure height from • that point not start construction. Appeal of Allen & Kathl` Jett Re: RVTI • January 6, 19815 Page 2 5. This Office also notes that while the Building Department is staffed by numerous persons with differing tasks, it is equally obvious that the person who reviews plans cannot ignore all that went before. That person is imputed to possess the knowledge of those who also have particular familiarity with the project. Since the focus of much of the original hearing was based upon the grade where buildings would 'start', or 'begin', or what have you, it was clearly erroneous to have not been totally familiar with the Decision. If staff had communicated with one ' another the import of choosing the grade would have been obvious, as would the import of the final grade chosen. If the original decision had been read by Mr. Hanson, as Mr. Nelson read the entire decision, it would have been clear where the grade should have been. (See 11, infra). 6. As noted by the City, in supporting the City's height formula, it was clear that the location for viewing the ultimate buildings would have been the street aspect. The avoidance of buildings 'looming' up over the single family homes was the foundation of the decision. Following through, it's just as obvious that using a reference point at a minimum of 140 to 150 feet north of any particular single family home rather than a reference point directly across from any 'looming' building would result in erroneously placing the 'eye of the beholder' way outside his or her home. 7. While the ultimate height of any building governed by even the generous 35 foot pitched roof formula would not be looming or towering over the generally one and two story single family homes across from the site, the aspect certainly is modified if the buildings are first placed on a pedestal or platform 9 feet above surrounding terrain. Whether the actual height of the proposed buildings is 25 feet, 35 feet or 45 feet, the 9 additional feet adds substantially to that aspect. The fact that the building permitted under the grade chosen by the Building and Zoning Department would not create a looming effect is immaterial. The decision was clearly to construct buildings starting from street level. The top of a roof of.a building which could be 54 feet in the air might well be only 45 feet if no advantage was provided by filling below the building. 8. The original decision in numerous places indicates sunken, excavated and below grade buildings. How than could buildings for which fill material was used to raise the platform elevation approximately 8 to 9 feet, be viewed as consistent with the decision? The School District has suggested that when viewed together the rezone, site plan and'grade and fill decisions make the street level base grade impossible to acheive. Even if the combined affects of the rezone, the site plan and the grade and fill, would have made the project more formidable, maybe even impossible, (engineers distain that word), even if the project would have been complicated by the lower grade requirements, then it is equally clear that whatever discretion was inappropriately left to the Building Department was misused. That department ignored the clear intent to modify other aspects of the plan to provide the lower elevation for buildings along the western perimeter of the site. (See Conclusions 15, 16 and particularly 17 of the original decision). 9. Finally, while the actual wording of the provision in question leaves something to be desired in terms of technical clarity, it states: "The base elevation of buildings along Kirkland, Jefferson and N.E. 7th Street shall not be greater than the elevation of those respective streets, with the exception of the Health addition which may be the same base elevation as the existing surrounding buildings." The provision does not say the "base elevation for determining height," it clearly refers to at what point a building will start 'looming' up and become visible. When coupled with the Exhibit #11 it is clear what was intended by the language. 10. Therefore, a fair reading of the language, based upon the record, leaves one with just one conclusion: that a mistake was made. 11. Actually, it's hard to really determine that a mistake was made or at least when it was made. Reference the Nelson letter of December 18, 1985, to Mayor Shinpoch, paragraph 4, wherein Ronald G. Nelson, Building and Zoning Official, states as follows: "Mr. Jett, who brought these concerns to our attention, deserves more than our contention that we are correct in our determinations and, if you read through the transcript, you are left with the impression that the building floors should be no greater than the street elevation in front of the building being constructed and, not the base elevation chosen." • . Appeal of Allen & Kathleen Jett Re: RVTI January 6, 19* Page 3 12. It is as though Mr. Nelson was paraphrasing the Courts: which have determined that • a decision is clearly erroneous when the reviewing body is left with the firm conviction after reviewing all the evidence that a mistake has been committed. (Ancheta v. Daly, 77 Wn.2d 255,259(1969)). Again, read Mr. Nelson and the Courts together and you have: A decision is clearly erroneous when the reviewing body is left with the impression after reading through the transcript that the building floors should not be greater than the street elevation in front of the building being constructed and, not the base elevation chosen. Where is the supposed imprecision or dispute? This Office is aware of the fact that language should be given its ordinary usage when possible, and ambiguous terms construed against the drafter, but after reviewing the Nelson letter it is impossible to find the ambiguity. 13. The clear intent of the decision was to have the campus meld with the surrounding community, or more specifically, the single family community. What better way then to have the school's campus follow the contour of the streetscape than by stepping down the campus in conformance with the gradual elevation loss encountered north to south. 14. Finally, when a Decision such as the one initially published is issued, with what are apparently conditions precedent to its being a product utilized in the building permit process, than it is assumed that those conditions will be complied with. The School District was left with the clear responsibility to present plans which incorporated those conditions. It is no different for the restrictive covenants which were required in one instance in this case, and the submission of building and grading plans positively complying with other conditions in this decision. No Building Permit was issued until the covenants were correctly executed, and no Building Permit should (or should this have said shall, or shall this have said shall, mandatory or discretionary, who cares? The meaning or intent SHOULD have been clear! Substance over form, please!) have been issued on plans which did, and still do not comply. Again, it is clear the applicant's representative was aware of what base elevation meant, and to present the plans which even permitted the Building and Zoning Department the latitude and discretion herein exercised erroneously, was improper. 15. The decision of the Building and Zoning Department is affirmed in part and reversed and modified in part. 16. The height of a building shall be based upon the provisions of Section 4-702. Wherever the two (2) separate definitions result in differences in permitted height, the formula that results in the shortest building shall be used to give meaning to the decision's intent to protect the single family homes at issue. • 17. The base elevation of the buildings shall be the average grade of the street nearest the building (see below), but in no case Monroe Avenue N.E. The average grade shall be determined by measuring between the two points arrived at by computing the following formulas depending upon whether the street is straight or curved. Measurements shall be taken by visualizing a line drawn parallel to the appropriate street and extending perpendiculars from that parallel line to the extreme endwalls of the respective buildings, at their point closest to the street. Where a street is curving rather than straight, the line (from which the perpendiculars will be extended) shall be visualized as a tangent drawn at the point • on the curve where a line drawn from the center of the building intersects the center of the curve's projected circle. The appropriate street shall be:. for the Construction Technologies Building, Kirkland Avenue N.E.; for the Automotive Building, Kirkland Avenue N.E.; for the Electronics/Food Complex's western building, Kirkland Avenue N.E.; for the future building south of the Electronic Complex, Kirkland Avenue N.E.; for the new building slightly northwest of the Health Complex, Jefferson Avenue N.E. 18. A matter which concerned some of the parties was whether or not this Office now has the unique potential of clarifying its previous Decision beyond the reasonable period for reconsideration. The concern is irrelevant. Under the provisions of Section 4-3011(B)(5) this Office has the same authority as the Building Department to define the reasonable intent of that earlier decision. While this Office did write the original Decision, reference to the Nelson letter easily demonstrates that this • Office has not overstepped any reasonable limits, and has only given the Decision regarding grade a reasonable reading. • Appeal of Allen & Kathleen Jett Re: RVTI January 6, 198% Page 4 19. This decision shall not be read to authorize major modifications to the remaining building design plans. That is the applicant is not authorized by this decision to. alter the floor plans or height limits of buildings. Since the previous delegation was misinterpreted, major changes will require additional public review. ORDER The height of any building constructed pursuant to the Decision of the Hearing Examiner issued on August 1, 1985 shall be 35 feet as determined by formulas found in Section 4-702 of the Zoning Code of the City of Renton and as otherwise limited by this decision herein. • The finished floor of the first floor above grade, shall be at a grade which coincides with the grade of the appropriate street by the methods defined above herein.

To expedite this matter, in this instant case, all attorneys party to this action have agreed upon a seven (7) day appeal period in lieu of the usual fourteen (14) days. Any aggrieved person feeling that the decision of the Examiner is based on erroneous procedure, errors of law or fact, error in judgment, or the discovery of new evidence which could not be reasonably available at the prior hearing may make a written request for a review by the Examiner within seven (7) days from the date of the Examiner's decision. This request shall set forth the specific errors relied upon by such appellant, and the Examiner may, after review of the record, take further action as he deems proper. Any appeal is governed by Title IV, Section 3011, which requires that such appeal be filed with the Superior Court of Washington for King County within twenty (20) days from the date of the Examiner's decision. The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte (private one-on-one) communications may occur concerning land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in private with any decision-maker concerning the proposal. Decision-makers in the land use process include both the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council. All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This permits all interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court. The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for Reconsideration as well as Appeals to the City Council. I I i I 0 \aD OF R4, 411) Z.

SHINPOCH MAYOR MEMORANDUM i DATE: December 17, 1985 TO: Jim Matthew, Fire Marshal FROM: oger Blaylock, Zoning Administrator SUBJECT: RVTI/EMERGENCY ACCESS TO KIRKLAND AVENUE N.E. AND N.E. 7TH STREET The Hearing Examiner under Condition #1 of his approval of the site plan for the expansion of Renton Vocational Technical Institute granted final review authority for the location of all emergency driveways on Kirkland Avenue N.E., N.E. 7th and N.E. 4th Streets to the Fire Department. The question arises as to what is an 'acceptable means of gating those emergency driveways. The Examiner under Condition #4 states that along both Kirkland Avenue N.E. and N.E. 7th Street that "the landscape buffer should also contain a fence which discourages access to the campus..." A simple chain does not discourage pedestrian access. Only a locked fence gate would prevent pedestrian access. Is a locked cyclone fence gate acceptable to the Fire Department?

The Council also asked the Administration to provide a status report at the next regular Council meeting on December 23, 1985. If we can provide further assistance to you, please call. Sincerely, CITY OF RENTON e � Maxine E. Motor ti City Clerk cc: Mayor Council President Building & Zoning Department Hearing Examiner Allen and Kathleen Jett 583 Kirkland Avenue Northeast Renton, Washington 98056 December 16, 1985 HAND DELIVERED Renton City Council 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, Washington 98055 Re: Renton Vocational Technical Institute Rezone and Campus Expansion Dear Members of the City Council : This letter is being presented to you at the City Council meeting of December 16, 1985, and the undersigned respectfully request that the Council investigate what appear to be flagrant violations of the conditions and provisions set by the Hearing Examiner with regard to the site plan and rezone of the RVTI campus expansion. These conditions were incorporated into the building permit and rezone as approved by the City Council on September 16, 1985, in the final reading before the City Council. The violations and the conditions they violate are as follows : 1. The approved plans show that the fence that was to be included in the 20 ' landscape buffer area along both the west and the north sides of the campus (bounded by Kirkland Avenue N. E. on the west and N. E. 7th on the. north) end at the intersection of N. E. 7th and Kirkland Avenue. The termination of the fence at this point leaves the north end of the campus completely accessible, which is in violation of Condition No. 4 of the Hearing Examiner' s Decision. 2 . The approved plans show a sidewalk entrance to the '. campus at N. E. 7th and Kirkland Avenue N. E. , which is also in violation of Condition No. 4 of the Hearing Examiner' s Decision. • Renton City Council December 16, 1985 Page Two 3 . The driveway access on the north end of the campus ser- vices a proposed parking lot at the north end of the construction technology building. This parking lot has no other access from within the campus nor from Monroe Avenue N. E. and is in violation of Condition No. 1 im- posed by the Hearing Examiner. 4 . Probably the most flagrant violation of the Hearing Examiner's conditions is the fill and grading that is presently proceeding alongside Kirkland Avenue N. E. to a height of approximately eight feet ( 8 ' ) above the street grade in order to accommodate the new buildings. This is in direct violation of Condition, No. 2, which requires that the buildings have a base grade of no higher than Kirkland Avenue N. E. This condition was passed by, the City Council on September 16, 1985. Also passed at that time was the 35 ' height restriction. This 35 ' height restriction was clarified at the Ways and Means Committee meeting which immediately preceeded the City Council meeting on September 16 as being 35 ' in Overall height from top to bottom and not the pitched roof formula used by the Renton Building and Zoning Department. After reviewing the drawings, it appears that some of the, buildings do not comply with the re- strictions imposed in the rezone. These violations were evident to us after only a brief review of the approved drawings at the Building and Zoning Department. This raises the questions of how they received approval in their present form and how many,more violations are contained in the drawings so approved. We request that the Council look into this matter and respond to the points raised above in writing. We also request that this investigation take place as soon as possible, because the work is currently proceeding and every day that passes moves more dirt into the area that will have to later be removed in order to be in compliance with the building permit conditions and rezone. Thank you very much for your prompt consideration of this matter. Sincerely, ( 1 C:\N ALLEN M. JETT • W't " ` J ._ KATHLEEN M.

Bingo Responding to Council inquiry of 9/9/85, Mayor Shinpoch advised that Bingo licenses are issued by the State Gambling Commission, and the City has no say other than issuing a business license to the operator. The 10% City gambling tax on the gross revenue imposed on these operations is dedicated to law enforcement costs to monitor gambling activities. Upon inquiry by Councilman Stredicke regarding procedures for revoking .a business license, City Attorney Warren stated that although such a mechanism does not currently exist, an ordinance could be drafted outlining the procedure. Stredicke called attention to businesses operating in homes at 6th and Burnett, and 11th and Union, both in single family zones.

APPLICANT: RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 403 FILE NO. R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 LOCATION: Located at the campus of the Renton Voc-Tech Institute. SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Rezone of 27 acres from R-1 to P-1; site plan approval for the construction of four (4) new buildings. together with modernization and additions to two existing buildings on the Renton Voc-Tech campus; and special permit for filling and grading of 12 acres of the site with over 100,000 cubic yards of material. SUMMARY OF ACTION: Building and Zoning Department Recommendation: Approval Hearing Examiner Recommendation: Approval of Rezone by City Council. Site Plan and Special Permit are approved, with conditions. BUILDING & ZONING The Building & Zoning Department Report was DEPARTMENT REPORT: received by the Examiner on June 21, 1985. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Building and Zoning Department Report. examining available information on file with the application and field checking the property and surrounding area. the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: • The hearing was opened on June 28. 1985, at 1:30 P.M. in the Council Chambers of the Renton Municipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit #1 - Yellow file containing application, proof of posting, Environmental Impact Statements. and other documentation pertinent to this application. Exhibit #2 - Assessors Map Exhibit #3 - Site Plan for proposed site showing existing and proposed structures. Exhibit #4 - Cross Section drawing submitted on September 24. 1984. Exhibit #5 - Enlargement of Page #IX in the FEIS showing modification to the buffer as proposed. The hearing began, and it was noted by Roger Blaylock, Zoning Administrator, that the applicant is seeking three separate actions. He began with a review of the rezone request which covers 27 acres; Site Plan approval which is required for any review in the P-1 zone and a third request for a special permit for fill and grade of the subject site. The applicant is proposing to develop approximately 215,000 sq. ft. of building area which will be added to the 120,000 sq. ft. already on the site. The special permit is to fill and grade approximately 12 acres, moving approximately 50,000 cubic yards cut from the site and 50,000 yds. of fill. The site has been used for a school for almost 20 years and is surrounded by single family residences to the west and north, commercial uses east and industrial uses to the south. The ERC did require an impact statement from the applicant which is now contained in the official record. Mr. Blaylock reviewed the four criteria to be considered for the requested rezone. i l" 1 • • Renton School District NI- :.:13 i R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 2 The site is potentially classified for the proposed zone, and is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The general area has been in a stage of transition, and it is felt the request presented is timely. Improvements in the area have included new streets, traffic signals, water mains and storm drainage lines. Mr. Blaylock reviewed the differences in the R-1 and P-1 zones and how they would relate to this application. No conditional use review is required. setbacks were noted: height in P-1 can be 50 ft.: lot coverage maximum not applicable in P-1 zone as it is based on public demand for the facility: and access which must be from an arterial or collector street. In this case Monroe Avenue and N.E. 4th are the designated access, points. There should be a minimum setback from the building to the curb line of 35 ft. Reviewing the Site Plan review request it was clarified by Mr. Blaylock that in a rezone it is only the uses permitted on the ground and not the structures that are to be considered. The Site Plan shows the proposed buildings. and the Examiner must determine that the proposal complies with the general design and development of the adjacent areas: meets building and zoning requirements: complies with the Comprehensive Plan, and has adequate safe traffic circulation. and access. Traffic was discussed with suggested mitigating measures such as signal timing at N.E. 4th Street and Monroe Avenue, with turns to be prohibited on N.E. 4th Street from Jefferson Avenue N.E. to Monroe Avenue N.E. during peak traffic periods. Three access points were pointed out onto Monroe providing parking on the eastern side of the new structure. moving traffic away from the residential area. Monroe Avenue will be widened. Two access points will be provided to the north with 48 spaces on one lot going onto N.E. 7th Street, representing 6% of the total volume on this site. Traffic consultants do not recommend signalization at the access points. There is a requirement of 600 parking spaces, 880 are being provided for the complete project. Off-site traffic impacts were discussed and the EIS suggested three (3) off-site improvements involving the intersection of N.E.3rd/Edmonds Avenue: Edmonds Avenue 'Extension and Monroe Avenue N.E. from N.E. 6th Street to N.E. 12th Street. Continuing on with the Site Plan review. the Zoning Administrator reviewed the use of buffers between adjacent non-compatible uses. The single family area is of major concern and has a previous access agreement with the School District which includes screening between their dissimilar uses. The original plans suggested a reduction in the width of the landscape buffer. with the buildings being elevated and a sidewalk deleted from the buffer strip. Because of this. the School District 'eliminated street trees along the east side of Kirkland Avenue N.E. and the buildings were elevated because of drainage and security concerns in the design. Because the buildings were raised, they have become more visible. The buildings will have to' provide fire access around their perimeter because of their size. It was noted that the Examiner could consider changing some of the design options of the buffer which could reduce noise and discourage pedestrian use along N.E. Kirkland Avenue. It was pointed out that the architects have designed the buildings for today's requirements. They may be required to comply with future standards due to the interface of the facility and the surrounding residential community. Mr. Blaylock pointed out the need for a Special Permit to fill and grade approximately 100,000 yards of material, and stated the exported fill projections do not present any significant problems with truck routes or street cleaning requirements. He stated it was staff's recommendation that the Rezone and Special Permit requests be approved concurrent with approval of the Site Plan as presented, subject to seven (7) conditions listed in the staff report. The Hearing Examiner called for testimony from the applicant or their representative. Responding was: Felix Campanella The Campanella Group. Inc. 911 Western Avenue. Suite #400 Seattle. Washington 98104 Mr. Campanella expressed support for .the request as presented by Mr. Blaylock. He stated the building designs in the -Site Plan, as proposed have progressed greatly from the original buildings on the site. He feels the School District has been very sensitive to the neighborhood aesthetics with regard to their building and designs. He described the designs and their contribution to the deletion of noise. as well as the unwritten access agreement with the surrounding neighbors. Mr. Campanella addressed the issue of traffic impacts and the Latecomers Agreement for signalization at Third and Edmonds and feels when the Latecomers Agreement is approved and reviewed. they will support that position. The Edmonds Avenue extension was of some concern. and he asked that Public 'Renton School District W.__ d3 R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 3 Works clarify this matter for them. They do not know the scope and impact of the improvement in terms of its dollar value. He said they feel to place a restrictive covenant on the property at this time to ensure something for the future, the nature of which they have no way of knowing what it might entail, presents a problem to them. Continuing, the matter of the buffer along Kirkland Avenue was adddressed by Mr. Campanella. He stated neighbors had been invited to attend the meetings, and at the last meeting in October, '1984 neighbors supported the position that in lieu of a sidewalk along the east side of Kirkland Avenue they preferred the School District place a 6 ft. high fence to preclude access from Kirkland Avenue to the campus. Several weeks later when the City Council considered the vacation of the easterly 15 ft. of Kirkland, the Council imposed a condition that a sidewalk with curb and gutter be placed along Kirkland Avenue. The neighbors were upset with the Council decision but did not speak up and advise that an agreement had previously been worked out which would provide for a fence instead of a sidewalk. Buffering and landscaping of the berm was discussed and it was recommended that the sidewalk be eliminated, increase the height of the berm and provide landscaping and aesthetics that would prove more attractive to the neighbors. Access was again discussed as well as the possible realignment of N.E. 7th and the elimination of noise from the buildings. Calling for further testimony in support of the application, or comments, no one spoke at this time. Speaking in opposition to this proposal was: Bill Snell, Attorney 720 Olive Way, Suite #1700 Seattle, Wa. 98115 Mr. Snell spoke on behalf of several residents living on Kirkland Avenue. He stated the neighbors were focusing on one basic issue and that is adequate buffering between Kirkland Avenue and the RVTI building. He stated this proposal will almost double the size of the institution as pertains to students, facility and more vehicle trips. The activities taking place in the buildings are definitely going to be more disruptive to the neighborhood due to the noise involved, which again places the question of compatibility in the mind of the surrounding neighbors. Mr. Snell continued with testimony referring to the difference in documents set out in the draft EIS and those contained in the Final EIS. Mr. Snell stated it was felt by the neighbors of RVTI that substantial changes had occurred since the inception of this project which afforded them less protection. The buffers have been changed substantially and the projected impacts were not discussed in the final EIS, which the neighbors find very misleading on the part of the applicant. Mr. Snell stated it was felt there has been some misuse of the EIS process by the applicant because of what are considered substantial changes in the time between the original EIS and the Final EIS. The neighbors request that detailed plans be submitted which will show the dimensions and scope of the buffer including the height and roof design of the buildings. Calling for further testimony in opposition, wishing to speak was: Kathlene Jett 583 Kirkland N.E. Renton, Wa. 98056 Mrs. Jett's home is located directly across the street from the electronics building. She presented the Hearing Examiner with a letter from residents in the area setting out what they feel are concerns and conditions they feel should be imposed on this expansion project. She presented background information on three meetings that had been held by the local residents with the persons representing the School District. The discussions covered their concerns regarding the berming of the proposed buildings. She also referred to a conversation held with a City employee at a meeting regarding this application as to the zoning of this area and its compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Blaylock stated he was the employee involved in that conversation. It was at the last meeting that an agreement was reached with the School District regarding the deletion of the sidewalk on the east side of Kirkland, inclusion of a fence and substantial berming. She questioned the scale of the buildings which she stated had changed from the DEIS to the FEIS. The Zoning Administrator was called upon at this point to explain how the height of a building is determined. After his explanation, Mrs. Jett asked Mr. Campanella what the height of the electronics building across from her home was going to be. He replied the official height is 35 ft. Measured from the ground to the top of the peak of the roof will be 47 ft. He noted the building is partially recessed underground so the figures quoted are applied as if the building was 2 stories high. There were many questions asked, and Fkenton School District Ni' ,, J3 1R-095-84, SA-096-84 & 5r=097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 4 each question received a reply from staff or Mr. Campanella. Mrs. Jett concluded inquiring as to the possibility of moving the electronics building further east, more into the courtyard. Continuing with testimony in opposition to his proposal. speaking was: • Alan Jett 583 Kirkland N.E. Renton. Wa. 98056 Mr. Jett spoke briefly stating his disappointment in the drawings that had been presented as he felt he still does not have any concrete idea what the proposed buildings are going to look like when completed. He feels there is a lack of consistency in the information given the residents from one meeting to the next with the School District. Mr. Jett feels with the information presented to them so far they are unable to properly judge what the impacts of this project will be on their property and the surrounding neighborhood. He referred to the draft EIS and the inconsistencies contained therein as compared to the final EIS as presented. He discussed the importance of the berms that had been promised to mitigate impacts to Kirkland N.E. residents and asked that no decision be made until the proper revised drawings had been presented to staff for their review. Also wishing to speak in opposition was: William Knedler 579 Kirkland Avenue N.E. Renton, Wa. 98056 Mr. Knedler owns a home opposite the electronics building. He feels access is important, but feels the 20 ft. setback of the buildings from Kirkland Avenue N.E. may open up preferred parking on Kirkland Avenue N.E. if this area is not fenced and/or some how closed off, as students will only be 20 feet from their classroom. This problem is currently taking place off of 4th Avenue with students parking on both sides of the street. He pointed out that the area around the proposed expansion on Kirkland N.E., N.E. 7th or Monroe is all residential. there are no multi-family or businesses adjacent to the proposed expansion on those three sides. He referred to the height of the building as now proposed compared to what they were led to believe by the School District and expressed concern over the change. Mr. Knedler addressed the concern of noise that will be generated for his area and feels the noise that will be generated within the electronics building will be a nuisance factor for the surrounding area. He requested that strict controls be placed on the noise nuisance that the residents feel will be generated from this one particular building. He also briefly discussed the possibility of electro-magnetic interference in the surrounding homes due to the machinery to be used In the proposed building. Further speaking in opposition to the request was: John Lissman 3116 N.E. 7th Street Renton. Wa. 98056 Mr. Lissman agreed with the assessment presented by the previous area residents, and in particular, the difficulty in determining exactly what is being proposed for their area due to inaccurate drawings that had been presented. He commented on the three entrances on N.E. Monroe and one entrance on N.E. 4th. with the entrance on 4th possibly being closed. With this in mind. he stated this would give him 40% of the access to the parking areas of the campus from a non-arterial, which appears to be a serious inconsistency in the pr''esentation given at this hearing and what the surrounding neighbors had previously been told by the School District. The Hearing Examiner called for elevation plans which Mr. Blaylock stated had not been presented to his department by the applicant. The Examiner expressed concern over processing this application without the revised drawings, and the Zoning Administrator suggested the architect present revised drawings for the buildings showing specific revisions in the cut and fill as a result of the change in the elevations of the buildings. Mr. Campanella. architect for the project, advised the Hearing Examiner that the site grading plans had previously been submitted to the Building Department, and had been there since the request for the building permit was accepted, several weeks ago. He stated grading plans had also previously been submitted to the Department of Public Works, and he was concerned that they had not been presented not only to the Hearing Examiner for review. but had not been available as an exhibit at this hearing. It was agreed that design plans for the buffer will be reviewed by the Hearing Examiner at a later date so it may be determined exactly what the School District is proposing in • • Renton School District Nair._A r3 R-095-84. SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1. 1985 Page 5 relation to a buffer, as the plans now shown are not correct. Mr. Campanella spoke to the emergency entrances stating that access will be through a large gate that will remain locked, with the Fire Department retaining a key for their use. The Hearing Examiner called upon a representative from the Public Works Department to discuss the issue of sidewalks. Speaking was: Bob Bergstrom Public Works Department City of Renton Mr. Bergstrom reviewed the projects the City currently has proposed for the vicinity of the RV1'1 which consists of signalization at the intersection of 4th and Jefferson as well as the Monroe Avenue N.E. reconstruction project. He stated it was his understanding that the intersection of N.E. 6th Place and the main entrance to the Vocational School will be aligned so there will be a cross-intersection. He stated the Public Works Department has recommended sidewalks.for this plan as it has been their past experience if sidewalks are not provided pedestrians will continue to walk through the landscaping, and could create a safety hazard. It is their contention that the sidewalks should remain in the project and not be traded in any way for a larger buffer. Mr. Bergstrom and the Hearing Examiner discussed the various alternative access approaches; Mr. 'Bergstrom discussed the proposed assessments for off-street improvments outside the project area and the contribution by RVTI. He also reviewed the proportional cost to RVTI suggesting that he personally did not think the 9% figure was accurate and suggested that it be omitted because the cost of the Edmonds Avenue extension is not known. nor does staff know who else may be participating in that cost. Mr. Bergstrom reiterated his belief that the sidewalk is necessary.. even at the expense of the neighbors possibly losing a little bit of the desired buffer. Representing the Traffic Engineering Department, and wishing to speak on this proposal was: Gary Norris Traffic Engineering'Department City of Renton Mr. Norris advised it was the desire of his department to not allow access off N.E. 4th, suggesting access would be best served from Jefferson so as to take advantage of the traffic signal that will be provided at that location. He said there have been on-going problems with access to RVT I from N.E. 4th and they feel the best design would be to eliminate the access from N.E. 4th. Mr. Norris stated there was concern with the access on the southerly most portion of the site on Monroe; reviewed the contributions assessed for off-site improvements; and stated it was his department's feeling that the 9% assessment to RVTI was fair. He explained they took the volume of traffic that is projected from the development and distributed it over the arterial network, and determined that the proportion of the traffic coming from the site using the roadways, justified the 9% assessment for the School District for the Edmonds Avenue extension. At this point another member of the audience wished to speak. Dr. Roberts. Director of RVTI Assistant Superintendent of Renton School District 3000 N.E. 4th Renton, Wa. 98056 Dr. Roberts spoke to the 9% issue and stated it was his understanding the figure was arrived at by distributing traffic data. He described the RVTI's assigned service area as set out by the State Legislature and stated that after an analysis was completed it was found that the Institute was primarily drawing students from Renton and Seattle. He felt with this in mind, the figure of 9%. drawing out of the Maple Valley area, is too high. When asked why he did not dispute that figure when placed in the EIS. Dr. Roberts stated he did not feel anyone knew the implication of those figures at that time. Again speaking from the audience, Mrs. Jett reiterated her feeling that the concerns and desires of the people living on Kirkland Avenue should be considered with respect to the placing of a sidewalk or the deletion of a portion of the berm. Mrs. Jett was advised that if all of the residents were still concerned, they should address the City Council as they are the body that has placed the requirement of the sidewalk into effect. Wishing to speak again was Dr. Roberts. • • • Renton School District Nc _ 43 R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 6 Dr. Roberts addressed the issue of communications with the neighbors and stated he realized the concern by the neighbors that there be no parking on the west side of the campus. There was time spent discussing fences and solid walls, and the use of sidewalks. At the time of discussions it was determined that sidewalks were not desired, but the City Council has declared their desire that sidewalks be provided as part of the off-site improvements. A condition has been placed on this application requiring a rockery, which Dr. Roberts feels will be extremely expensive to install and maintain. He stated it was felt with the elimination of the sidewalk it would allow the berm to be higher, but they do not care to be burdened with a rockery. Dr. Roberts stated he felt through the years the School District has tried to be sensitive to the cares and concerns of the surrounding neighbors. It is their wish to continue the rapport with their surrounding neighbors that they have enjoyed in the past. At this point in the hearing, Roger Blaylock, Zoning Administrator advised the Hearing Examiner that staff would like to change their recommendation on the traffic percentages because there is now a known cost for the installation of a traffic signal at 3rd and Edmonds and known costs for the improvement of Monroe Avenue N.E.. The cost for the extension of Edmonds Avenue N.E. is not known, and it would be preferred if the School District would agree to participate at some time in the future when an appropriate share, based on a larger service area, could be evaluated. Mr. Blaylock stated it was felt the calculations presented by the Traffic Consultant were theoritical, without a known street and limited in the benefit area. He feels the City Council has the authority to establish benefit areas and would prefer to see the School District sign a no protest agreement to • participate in a benefit area, for a period of approximately 5 to 10 years. Mr. Blaylock again stated it was felt the Hearing Examiner should make a recommendation to the City Council to reconsider the issue of sidewalks. The Examiner questioned if the Council did not wish to eliminate the sidewalk and the 5 ft. easement, would the proposal of moving the buildings to the east or shrinking them down so they can fit within the powerlines be an alternative. Mr. Blaylock replied in the positive stating that could be a design alternative. • Calling for further comments. speaking was Bill Snell, Attorney. Mr. Snell advised he was going to advise his client to write a letter to the City Council requesting that the sidewalk be deleted from the bidding on this proposal. Mr. Snell again reviewed the concerns of his clients as pertains to the inaccuracy of the drawings presented and stated he felt the citizens of the area should be presented with revised, corrected drawings so they may see exactly what is being proposed. He feels it is appropriate to know what type of vegetation is going to be used, type of fence, height of the building, street grades and how these items relate to the surrounding neighborhood. He requested that new plans be submitted to the City, with extra copies that could be checked out to the neighbors so they may have sometime to review. Commenting further was Mr. Campanella, architect. Mr. Campanella stated that the lead agency for the EIS was the City of Renton, and the documents that Attorney Snell has taken exception to were part of the initial submittal of the EIS. He stated they are only contributors of the EIS. He further stated that they called the City this date and inquired if they needed to bring any further information to present at the hearing. They were advised that everything needed was already here in City offices. Mr. Campanella said there were sets of final working drawings, grading and landscape plans, somewhere within a City Department, and took exception to the statement by the attorney that they had not prepared or presented adequate drawings for this hearing. Speaking further was Dr. Roberts. He summarized by stating they are in agreement with the 3 requests presented; they feel the 9% participation in an unknown cost is unacceptable; feel they have already participated in the Monroe Avenue improvement: do not wish to consider a 3 ft. rockery as they feel there are alternative methods to accomplish the same end: and the School District feels many of the concerns expressed at this hearing can be dealt with in recommendation 07 of the staff report which would require approval of landscape plans by the Hearing Examiner, based on the recommendation of the Landscape Architect for the City. Considering all of the concerns expressed and the need for more accurate drawings, the Hearing Examiner stated he would hold the record open until July 12, 1985 to be sure the information and plans in the Building Department are available for his review so he may determine lot lines,, height of buildings, landscaping and buffers. He requested that the School Board submit the necessary plans to the City by July 5, 1985 to be reviewed by Attorney Snell and his clients, who in turn will have one week to submit their comments. There being no one else wishing to testify, or further comments from staff, the hearing was declared closed at 5:05 P.M. ' • •Renton School District No.L R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 7 FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes 'and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant. The Renton School District, has requested approval of a reclassification of approximately 27 acres of property from R-1 (Single Family Residential: Minimum lot size - 7,200 sq ft) to P-1 (Public/Quasi-Public), together with a request for approval of a Site Plan for new construction, renovation and additions. and a special permit to excavate, fill and grade portions of the subject site. 2. The application file containing the application. the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) documentation, the Building and Zoning Department Report, and other pertinent documents was entered in the record as Exhibit #1. 3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971, as amended). an Environmental Impact Statement has been prepared for the subject proposal. 4. Plans for the proposal have been reviewed by all City departments affected by the impact of this proposal. 5. The subject site is located at. and north of the campus of the Renton Vocational Technical Institute (RVTI) located north of N.E. 4th Street. south of N.E. 7th Street, east of Kirkland Avenue N.E. (and Jefferson Avenue N.E.) and west of Monroe Avenue N.E. 6. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of public and quasi-public uses. but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the plan. The Comprehensive Plan further designates the areas west. north and east-northeast of the subject site for single family uses. 7. 1 he proposed expansion actually would occur in an area surrounded almost exclusively by areas designated for single family uses. It is only east of the existing campus along Monroe and south along N.E. 4th that the Comprehensive Plan designates land for commercial, low and medium density residential and public uses. 8. The subject site was apparently annexed into the city in the 1940's. The original adoption of the Zoning Code provided the site's current R-1 zoning category. RVTI has been at the site for approximately 20 years. 9. The subject site is approximately 27 acres in area. The subject site extends north from N.E. 4th Street approximately 2400 feet, or approximately one half mile: For the most part the campus site is approximately 500 feet wide, although for the southern portion of the campus lying between N.E. 4th and N.E. 5th Street the site is approximately 900 feet wide. 10. The existing complex contains 10 buildings or major groupings of buildings. All but one of the structures is located in the wider southern portion of the original campus. Five parking areas containing 465 parking spaces serve the southern campus. One of these parking areas has access via N.E. 4th Street, while the other areas have access via Monroe. The northernmost building is served by an adjacent parking lot containing 92 parking spaces. The lot is located along Monroe but is served by a driveway on N.E. 7th Street. 11. An approximately 100 foot wide power line transmission easement runs north/south along the eastern edge of the subject campus. although it does not coincide with the eastern property line. 12. The rezone request is to change the zoning from R-1 to P-1 for the entire 27 acre campus. which includes the existing facility and the primarily undeveloped property between the existing campus and N.E. 7th. The following table extracted from the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) shows the major differences in permitted heights, yards and permissible uses. • • • Renton School District NI( ",3 ' R-095-84, SA-096-84 & Si—t 97-84 August 1. 1985 Page 8 R-1 P-1 Proposed Expansion Requires Conditional Requires Site Use Permit (CUP) Plan Approval Front Yard Setback 20 ft 20 ft, 25 ft from Monroe Rear Yard Setback 25 ft 20 ft Height 35 ft 50 ft Lot Coverage 17.5% Not applicable Access CUP Review Principal Access Arterial/collector Street Site Design/ CUP Review Site Plan Approval Landscaping • The rezone would permit buildings up to 50 feet in height rather than the current limit of 35 feet. While yard requirements generally remain the same, there are changes, but as proposed, the modifications will comply with the greater requirements at a minimum, that is, no building setback will be less than 25 feet from a street. 13. The applicant chose to assume the rezone would be approved by the City Council and therefore, .the applicant has also submitted the entire development plan for site plan review. This is because any property in a P-1 zone requires site plan review, therefore, the simultaneous request. The proposal would almost triple the developed area. The campus currently consists of buildings containing. approximately 120,000 sq ft. The additions would add approximately 215,000 sq ft. 14. An application for grade and fill was also submitted. Development of the campus whether by Site Plan approval or by Conditional Use Permit, would require modification of the existing terrain. The applicant proposes approximately 50,000 cubic yards of excavation (cut) and a similar 50,000 cubic yards of fill. Additionally, depending upon the nature of the soils, their structure and bearing strength, approximately 10,000 cubic yards will be removed from the site and an additional approximately 15,000 cubic yards would be imported to the site. Much of the proposed regrading would occur north of N.E. 6th and between Kirkland and the powerlines. The steeper slopes are in the vicinity of N.E. 6th Place (westerly leg). 15. As part of the original proposal, excavation was to lower the grade for the new buildings along Kirkland, both for aesthetic purposes and to reduce noise. "Excavation of the site will permit the lower building elevations, particularly the automotive buildings, relative to adjacent residences. Earthberms'with landscaping will be located between the buildings and Kirkland Avenue. Earth berms can reduce noise levels as much as 15 d8A when several feet higher than the line of sight between the noise source and receiver." (Page 42, DEIS). The applicant originally proposed the excavation and lower base grade for the new buildings along Kirkland but those, plans were revised and are not part of the `measures now proposed. Safety and liability issues concerning easy access to the roofs of the various structures were raised. Moving the buildings east was opposed because it would crowd the campus and ruin the interior aesthetics of the campus and its proposed plaza. • 16. The new buildings will include: an addition to the existing health building at the southwest corner of the existing campus; a foods technology building and an electronics building more or less aligned with N.E. 6th Street on the western Kirkland Ave. side of the campus: an automotive technology complex, aligned with the westerly projection of the east leg of N.E.6th Place, but again along Kirkland Ave side; and a construction/carpentry technology building aligned with the westerly leg of N.E. 6th Place. All the new additions are proposed for the westerly portion of the campus as development is prohibited under the powerlines which are aligned north to south near the eastern property line. Parking has been proposed for the most part under the powerlines. ' • ' .Renton School District N`L )3 . • R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1. 1985 Page 9 17. Major access routes to the campus are N.E. 3rd/N.E. 4th from I-405 to Monroe. and Park Drive/Sunset from I-405 to Monroe or Kirkland. Monroe is a collector arterial, Kirkland is 'a local street, Sunset is a principal arterial, Union, east of the campus is considered a minor arterial. Monroe is signalized at N.E. 4th. Union is signalized at N.E. 4th. 18. The accident rate for N.E. 4th is above average per million entering vehicles (MEV). The estimated rate of 1.2 is higher than the statewide average of 0.9 MEV for a 4 lane urban intersection. 19. The proposed expansion is projected to increase traffic from RVTI by approximately 3,070 vehicles per day. This equates to an approximately 75% increase over the current level of approximately 4,200 trips per day. The total trips per day will be approximately 7.200. The percentage increase over current usage (including the existing traffic impacts of RVTI) on the various streets serving RVTI due to the expansion and based upon accepted standard traffic engineering projections will be as follows: Street % Increase Edmonds Ave Extension 9 % Monroe Ave between N.E. 4th 24% and N.E. 7th Monroe Ave between N.E. 7th 14% and N.E. 12th N.E 3rd/N.E. 4th 4% N.E. 7th 40% 20. The peak hour volumes will increase by approximately 710 trips over the existing volumes for the A.M. peak and approximately 170 during the P.M. peak. The A.M. peak is more pronounced because all day classes are in session between 8:00 and 10:00 A.M. The overall Level Of Service (LOS) is not expected to change substantially. Some intersections already experience a LOS of E or F (capacity and forced flow respectively). Monroe and 4th and Union and 4th are projected to have a decreased level of service. 21. The EIS makes the following statements: "Since [RVTI] is tax exempt, financial impacts are created upon the general community to provide and maintain public facilities supporting the Renton School District's operations. "The traffic study discloses that specific measurable impacts on traffic volumes will occur on streets in the vicinity as a result of the project. A policy issue arises whether RVTI should be financially responsible for those environmental impacts." (Page 72, DEIS). 22. The additional traffic which the proposed expansion will create will increase. congestion at the N.E. 4th driveway, and the additional load may increase the numbers of accidents at the intersections adjacent to the campus. Accidents at the Monroe/4th intersection are already prevalent for turning vehicles, and RVTI will increase the turning movements on three of the four legs of the intersection. 23. The existing access along N.E. 4th Street presents certain safety questions regarding left turn in and left out manuevers. The Traffic Engineering Division suggested that if access could be precluded and diverted to another driveway, that it be considered. The EIS includes similar analysis especially in light of the potential doubling of the size of the lot from its current 40 'spaces to a proposed 76 spaces. 24. If land use impacts..were ignored, the Engineering Department indicated that in their opinion, access could be via Jefferson and Kirkland. 25. Sight distance at the main entrance to the campus is insufficient due to the topography of the campus and the road section of Monroe adjacent to the entrance. Drivers are now forced to nose out onto Monroe to see whether the turn can be made safely. • ' Renton School District N( R-095-84, SA-096-84 & Sr=i)97-84 August 1, 1985 Page 10 26. Adequate water and sewer services are provided to the subject site. An infiltration system will be provided to handle storm water on the site. 27. The health building will be placed between, and connect the two existing buildings . near the N.E. 4th Street driveway. The other new buildings will be between approximately 30 and 35 feet in height. The height of buildings is based upon a formula which considers the angle and height of peaked roofs. One of the buildings actually has a height of approximately 47 ft. The peaked roof design was intentionally chosen to blend with the residential character of the area. To further the compatibility, the roofing material will be tile and the buildings will contain modulations, that is, the buildings will not contain one long exterior wall fronting the single family homes. .The effect creates additional variety and introduces a less stagnant.appearance. 28. The tile roofs also serve to absorb noise and will be coupled with concrete walls to further attenuate noise. 29. The use was described by the Building and Zoning Department as one of the most intense public uses possible. The school does not simply consist of lecture and classrooms. The buildings will contain automotive, carpentry and industrial uses, not just shop class equivalents of those functions. In addition, catering to older students, the school generates more traffic than other public uses (see above traffic analysis). CONCLUSIONS REZONE 1. The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest, it will not impair the public health, safety and welfare and in addition,, complies with at least one of the three criteria found in Section 4-3010, which provides in part that: a. The subject site has not been considered in a previous area-wide rezone or land use analysis; or b. The subject site is potentially designated for the new classification per the Comprehensive Plan; or c. There has been a material and substantial change in the circumstances in the area in which the subject site is located since the last rezoning of the property or area. The requested reclassification is warranted and should be approved by the City ' Council subject to one condition regarding height. 2. The site is designated in the Comprehensive Plan for public and quasi-public uses and the reclassification would accomplish the objective by zoning the site to P-1, the zoning type most suitable for public uses. 3. The zoning would also correspond with the actual use of at least portions of the subject site and permit additional school operations without need for a conditional use permit. The RVTI Campus has been located on the site for approximately 20 years. The campus serves the educational needs of not only the City but also the larger community. 4. There were no previous attempts to coordinate the zoning and the designation in the Comprehensive Plan. As the table (above) indicates, the differences between the P-1 and R-1 zones are not extensive. A Site Plan would be required in the P-1 zone, and a Conditional Use Permit, guided by similar criteria, would be required for R-1. Both procedures are currently subject to public review. The major difference would be that a building could be up to 50 feet high in the P-1 zone as opposed to 35 feet in the R-1 zone. A 50 foot building situated on the western side of the campus, close to the single family homes, would be inappropriate and should not be permitted. Therefore, the rezone should be conditioned so that no structure greater than 35 feet could be constructed within 100 feet of the site's western and northern property lines. A 50 foot building would be totally out of scale with surrounding single family development, and this • condition will limit any such building's proximity to single family development. Renton School District N; J3 'R-095-84, SA-096-84 & 'rr'097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 11 SITE PLAN 5. The ultimate aim of the School District, to expand the RVTI campus, appears to serve the public use and interest but must be modified substantially in some • respects to comply with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The concept of the expansion should be approved as it is compatible with the map element of the Comprehensive Plan which has been adopted by the City Council. At the same time though, the plans must evidence sensitivity to the location, more or less in the middle of residential development. The actual use of the site raises a number of questions regarding the interplay of a rather large and somewhat unique institution in the midst of a single family area which consideration of the rezone per se did not raise. RVTI's uniqueness is that it is not just simply a school, it is a trades school. The school supports and trains in the industrial arts. The campus represents a mini-industrial park cloistered in a single family zone. Actually, one could reasonably argue with the designation of the site as a 'mini-industrial park' since it is 27 acres in size and runs almost one half mile in a north south direction. The new additions will provide separate buildings and facilities housing electronics, food, carpentry/construction, and automotive technology. If the campus were isolated from other development, then the campus appears to be well designed and the new facilities well integrated into the existing campus. Unfortunately, the campus Is surrounded on three sides by residential development, and especially along the western property line where the actual buildings will be located, it is surrounded by single family development. 6. While certain aspects of the design may serve the applicant's desires for special purposes such as the more or less independent carpentry/construction complex. the approach appears to create unnecessary impacts on the residential neighborhood north and west of the campus. This particular concept - an independent carpentry complex. creates an additional parking lot, and more particularly, a driveway which intrudes on the neighborhood where one would otherwise not be necessary. The applicant failed to demonstrate why the carpentry/construction complex requires an independent identity. It will not be screened or fenced off from the rest of the campus, and if its parking area, or at least driveway, were shifted to utilize Monroe there would be less impact on the residential neighbors. 7. Similarly, since the campus is being redesigned, the existing driveway along N.E. 7th could also be removed so that traffic does not exit onto a residential street. 8. While on the subject of driveway location, the traffic analysis indicates that the drives along Monroe, especially the main entry and along N.E. 4th, create some traffic concerns. Safety concerns regarding the Monroe Avenue entrances, especially the main entry, will require some modification to the grade to provide safe sight distances. This should be accomplished in concert with the input of the Engineering and Traffic divisions (See below). The concerns regarding the N.E. 4th drive will only be magnified if the number of parking stalls served by that driveway are approximately doubled. The EIS indicates that traffic safety and efficiency could be served by closing that drive and diverting vehicles to other driveways. Again, since the campus is being redesigned, it would seem appropriate to redesign the internal traffic patterns at this time. Timely redesign would avoid the introduction of new design constraints which might foreclose such relocation or make relocation difficult, if not impossible, in the future. The access- to N.E. 4th should be precluded. Signs on campus could indicate the reserved nature or location of guest or staff parking without the need for a separate and potentially hazardous or inefficient drive on 4th. 9. The off-site impacts of a complex such as RVTI cannot be ignored. nor should the applicant raise the specter of economic hardship. or an unaesthetic campus, to transfer the impacts of its proposed development to the adjoining community. As the Building and Zoning Department indicated. RVTI is a highly intense industrial type use with immediate consequences for its neighbors and the general community. The general nature of its impacts can be described as two-fold. One is the direct impact on its residential neighbors - aesthetics, noise. light, glare, , traffic. The other is its impact on the community - increased traffic and traffic congestion. This analysis does not ignore RVTI's positive contributions in the area of education but rather is intended to identify the impacts its expansion will have on the non-educational environment. • • • Renton School District Ni 'R-095-84, SA-096-84 & ! r-iJ97-84 August 1. 1985 Page 12 10. Addressing,the impacts on the residential community first. this office takes notice of the fact that in quite a few instances environmental and aesthetic considerations which boost project costs are pushed aside when cost considerations become an issue. This generally appears to occur because these environmental factors have little if any relationship to the applicant's practical goals - in this case expanding a campus. Examples would include the new State Convention Center - the roof gardens and landscaping may be sacrificed; I-90 - light rail links eliminated, freeway lidding and landscaping minimized; I-405 - berming minimized. lidding ruled-out as to expensive; SR-515 - berming. landscaping and sound barriers minimized. 11. The EIS,'as part of the scoping process, identified the impacts of the expansion on the adjacent residential neighborhood as an area of particular concern. The School District in the past acknowledged the unique situation which exists with the juxtaposition of the School and the adjacent single family neighborhoods which surround the site on almost three sides. The School District took steps to prevent or discourage pedestrian, as well as vehicular traffic from areas west of the campus by eliminating any access to the campus from Jefferson or Kirkland Avenues. In addition, the existing campus could generally be described as low-rise. Most of the existing structures do not appear to be over one-story in height, lending a more compatible scale to the area. 12. The homes lining the west side of Kirkland Avenue are generally modestly sized one story homes, less than the permitted 35 foot height limit of the R-1 zone. Unless strong measures are taken to soften the western perimeter of the RVTI campus, goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan to buffer incompatible uses and zones will not be achieved. The establishment or expansion of a complex such as RVTI with it heavy traffic and industrial nature could have a blighting affect upon the single family areas surrounding it, if they are not adequately screened and protected. The Building Department Indicated that "the concern, of course, is that the single family area would deteriorate if not protected." 13. While the proposed buildings will be 35 feet in height as determined by formulas applicable to pitched roofs, some of the buildings will be greater than 35 feet in overall height, and one will be approximately 47 feet in height. The original concept demonstrated in the DEIS called for a berm, sunken buildings and multiple tiers of landscaping. These measures coupled together would have softened the effect of this mini-industrial park on the immediately adjacent residences. These proposals were modified by the applicant subsequent to the issuance of the DEIS and these measures were severely limited, thereby limiting their effectiveness to buffer the neighborhood. 14. The subject proposal under review has changed the base elevation of buildings. reduced the height of the berm to allow for a sidewalk and lessened the proposed landscaping. The City required sidewalk which would decrease the space along the western boundary of the site was blamed for the loss of the berm. This loss of space could limit the height of the berm since there will be less space to allow for a berm's sloping sides. In addition, the applicant discovered that its original plan to lower the base elevation of the structures could result in easy access to the roofs of the structures which could increase liability. so they eliminated the proposal. In addition. the new proposal appears to raise the base elevation so that buildings will no longer be either at the grade of Kirkland Avenue, or below that grade. but will be seated approximately 7 to 8 feet above that base elevation. This would result in the buildings appearing up to 50 feet above street level. Such .realignment will have the affect of presenting a higher facade or profile to the adjacent single family homes. The landscaping was modified at the request of the Public Works Department to eliminate deciduous street trees. 15. The applicant indicated a number of reasons why certain suggested measures could not be accomplished. but they do not necessarily justify shifting the burden of conflicting land use to the residential communities to the north and west. Monetary constraints alone cannot justify eliminating the berm, or even a rockery. if it is necessary to screen the use. The applicant has choosen to fund internal amenities, including a plaza of sorts. Similarly, while the powerline does constrain the site,1 the applicant was either compensated for that constraint when the easement was acquired, or the applicant acquired the site knowing full well of the limitations associated with the corridor or for a cost indicative of the constraint. As one solution the parking areas and necessary grading can be worked around the powerline and its associated towers if necessary. Other possibilities to accommodate the berms. landscaping and sunken buildings follow. • Renton School District N c �3 ' R-095-84. SA-096-84 & 55-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 13 16. Therefore. by modification of the parking areas or modification of the interior relationship of the buildings, or by modifications to the buildings themselves, the applicant; will be able to provide room for a four foot high berm at the western property ;line. The berm can then serve its intended purposes - that is, noise attenuation and screening. The EIS indicates not only will a berm reduce noise up to 15 dBA, but by screening the view of the noise generator, persons become less conscious of the noise source. The berm will serve both purposes well. 17. The campus design may have to be shifted east to accommodate the berm and landscaping. This can be accomplished either by shifting, the entire campus plan east 'and reducing the parking areas, reducing the internal landscaping and plaza areas, or reducing some of the proposed buildings. Similar eastward shifting will help accommodate the sunken buildings. If the areas were shifted, the higher grades of, the parking lots would be more remote from the lower roof line lessening the opportunity for access to the roofs. Again, the initial idea for the berm was to make the campus hard to enter from the west, to screen the incompatible campus use from the residential development and to reduce off-campus noise. The submitted plans do not amount to a berm unless the buildings are placed at a lower elevation. The plans amount to raising the slope of the lot and placing the buildings ' above the grade of Kirkland Avenue. thereby defeating the screening affects of a er obably reducing its noise inhibiting capability. The site. , therefore, ould be excavate as necessary to place the buildings no higher than the base elevate • Ad Ave. This will result in a positive berm between the campus buildings and the residential community to the west and north. While the applicant's architect noted that shifting the buildings eastward would adversely affect the interior spaces and aesthetics of the proposed new additions, not shifting the buildings would appear to have a similar negative aesthetic impact on a fairly large residential community located west of the subject site. The residential community should not have to bear the full effects of the mini-industrial park simply because the District may be trying to squeeze too much on too small a site. The site, as is indicated above, is constrained by the powerline, and while the applicant has lost flexibility -because of the powerline. that does not mean that everything they propose can be or should be accomplished on the remainder of the subject site. 18. As for the landscaping along the western and northern property lines, frankly, until this office receives a policy directive from the City Council regarding what is an appropriate street tree, deciduous trees which have existed naturally for at least 100 years and have provided shade, color, screening, and variety will be used to screen the subject site. They will not be eliminated from a landscaping plan because the leaves have to be raked up in the Fall. A fence to provide additional screening' and to discourage access between Kirkland Avenue's residential neighborhood and the campus should be worked into the landscaping. 19. No reason was presented, nor latitude provided to modify the standards of development for the School District. Under current law public agencies, including the City of.Renton. the School District, the Hospital, etc. are subject to the same standards pertaining to on-site and off-site improvements as are private developers. There are minimum improvements which must accompany any project. Any substantial development or redevlopment of a site triggers a responsibility for off-site improvements adjacent to that site, including installation of curbs,' gutters, streets and sidewalks. Those requirements may have not only financial repercussions but also other non-monetary costs. such as lot size .reduction to accommodate the required improvements. And in the proverbial ripple effect, interior design changes may also be necessary to accommodate these changes. ' The School District ' is not immune from these requirements and is responsible for those improvments adjacent to its site under the provisions of Section 4-103(A). Therefore. the School District's current participation in roadway improvements along its respective frontages is required by Code. This would ordinarily include a sidewalk and its provision means, in this case, that the landscaping berm will have to be accommodated elsewhere on School District property,'east of the sidewalk. s.• 1 ! • . 'Renton School District N I.-4a3 ' R-095-84. SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 14 20. In addition, an applicant may also be responsible for mitigating more remote (in a locational sense) adverse impacts of their project which have been identified in environmental documents, in this case an Environmental Impact Statement prepared for the project. The EIS identified those impacts particularly as traffic related and particularly as regards the intersection of Edmonds and N.E. 3rd. the Edmonds Ave extension, and that portion of Monroe between the site and N.E. 12th Street. The EIS also raised particularly the policy issues of charging the School District, a tax exempt public agency, for certain costs. There does not appear to be any distinct policy exempting the School District. Therefore. this office sees no reason to find the School District exempt. The School District should not be treated any differently than Valley Medical Center or Metro. This office was not provided with any particulars regarding the boundaries of the District, but assumes from general knowledge that the district's boundaries range beyond the precise City limits. Its tax base is wider than the City's and its population is not co-extensive with the City's. Why should the more limited population of the City pay the costs of the District's expansion? The required street and intersection Improvements must be made. Should not the entity which is generating the need, or a portion of the need pay? This office will also make an assumption, that special arrangements with those students living outside of the district (the'EIS discloses outside attendance) for reimbursement, is made to cover services. Again, costs attributed to the expansion should be paid by those who use the services which will create the demand, not just those living within the immediate City limits. 21. Therefore. the School District will have to provide funding for the improvements slated for those areas where the EIS identified impacts attributable to the School District. The expansion is projected to generate approximately 9% of the traffic on the Edmonds Ave Extension: approximately 14% of the traffic on Monroe Ave between N.E.. 7th and N.E. 12th: and approximately 4% of the traffic at the intersection of N.E. 3rd and Edmonds. Therefore, the School District should provide pro rata funding for those improvements. Where a project such as the Edmonds Avenue Extension is still quite tenative and costs remain unknown, the applicant should be required to participate in an LID for the project. SPECIAL PERMIT - FILL AND GRADE 22. With the exception of the excavation modification necessary to accomplish the Kirkland Avenue base elevation for the new buildings, the proposed Fill and Grade Permit appears to serve the public use and interest. 23. The applicant is not so much removing or adding great quantities of material to the site as modifying the existing contours to provide reasonable building pads on the subject site. Approximately 50,000 cubic yards of material will be repositioned on the site. Depending upon the ultimate utility of some of the material. materials will be removed or imported for structural fill and top soil requirements. 24. The applicant may have to redefine certain contours east of the original proposal in order to accommodate the berm and sunken building elevations. In addition, modification to the grades in the vicinity of the entrance drives along Monroe Avenue should be made in consultation with the Engineering and Traffic Divisions of the Public Works Department, in order to provide safe sight clearance for vehicles leaving the subject site. RECOMMENDATION The City Council should approve the reclassification of the subject site subject to the following condition: No building over 35 feet in height shall be constructed within 100 feet of the western and northern property lines. DECISION The Site Plan is approved subject to the following conditions: 1. No driveways shall be permitted on any street but Monroe Avenue N.E., except locked and gated emergency driveways as determined by the Fire Department. • Renton School District No R-095-84, SA-096-84 & Si==u97-84 August 1, 1985 Page 15 • 2. The base elevation of buildings along Kirkland, Jefferson and N.E. 7th Street shall not be greater than the elevation of those respective streets, with the exception of the Health addition which may be the same base elevation as the existing surrounding buildings. 3. A four foot high landscaped berm shall be required along the western and northern property line. 4. A twenty foot landscape buffer shall be required along the western and northern property line. Said landscaping shall be for the main purpose of screening visually and acoustically the campus from the prospective of the residential homes north and west of the campus, and shall be subject to the approval of the landscape architect. The buffer should consist of a mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees which serve the primary purpose of aesthetically screening the campus. The landscape buffer should also contain a fence which discourages access to the campus from the west or north sides. 5. The applicant shall be responsible for participating in 4% of the cost of the intersection of Edmonds Avenue N.E. and N.E. 3rd. 6. The applicant shall be responsible for participating in 14% of the cost of the roadway improvements for Monroe Avenue N.E. between N.E. 7th and N.E. 12th Streets. 7. The applicant shall be required to execute restrictive covenants to participate in an LID, if one is formed, to construct the Edmonds Avenue Extension. 8. The grade of any entry drive shall be designed in consultation with the Engineering and Traffic Divisions to eliminate any sight clearance problem for traffic exiting the subject site. The Special Permit for fill and grade is approved. ORDERED THIS 1st day of August, 1985. -ram , 64.4. FRED J.

Copies of this ordinance are available for inspection or purchase in the Finance Department, first floor of City Hall. The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte (private one-on-one) communications may occur concerning land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in private with any decision-maker concerning the proposal. Decision-makers in the land use process include both the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council. All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This permits all interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court.

Since the matter is pending before the Hearing Examiner in review of a rezone of the expansion site and the bids are due to be let for the project, Ms. Jett requested sidewalk specifications be withheld from the bid until resolution of the matter. City Attorney Warren reviewed State ,bid laws which require inclusion of all project specifications in the bid. However, he suggested' that before work begins, change orders could be filed to delete sidewalks, or sidewalk installation could be postponed until the end of the project. Mayor Shinpoch agreed to check with staff on the matter. • OFiv I A, o� O THE CITY OF RENTON MUNICIPAL BUILDING 200 MILL AVE. SO. RENTON,WASH. 98055 o BARBARA Y.

APPLICANT: RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 403 FILE NO. R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 LOCATION: Located at the campus of the Renton Voc-Tech Institute. SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Rezone of 27 acres from R-1 to P-1; site plan approval for the construction of four (4) new , buildings, together with modernization and additions to two existing buildings on the Renton Voc-Tech campus; and special permit for filling and grading of 12 acres of the site with over 100,000 cubic yards of material. • SUMMARY OF ACTION: Building and Zoning Department Recommendation: Approval Hearing Examiner Recommendation: Approval of Rezone by City Council. Site Plan and Special Permit are approved, with conditions. BUILDING & ZONING The Building & Zoning Department Report was DEPARTMENT REPORT: received by the Examiner on June 21, 1985. ' PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Building and Zoning Department Report, examining available information on file with the application and field checking the property and surrounding area, the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: The hearing was opened on June 28, 1985, at 1:30 P.M. in the Council Chambers of the Renton Municipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit #1 - Yellow file containing application, proof of posting, Environmental Impact Statements, and other documentation pertinent to this application. Exhibit #2 - Assessors Map Exhibit #3 - Site Plan for proposed site showing existing and proposed structures. Exhibit #4 - Cross Section drawing submitted on September 24, 1984. Exhibit #5 - Enlargement of Page #IX in the FEIS showing modification to the buffer as proposed. The hearing began, and it was noted by Roger Blaylock, Zoning Administrator, that the applicant is seeking three separate actions. He began with a review of the rezone request which covers 27 acres; Site Plan approval which is required for any review in the P-1 zone and a third request for a special permit for fill and grade of the subject site. The applicant is proposing to develop approximately 215,000 sq. ft. of building area which will be added to the 120,000 sq. ft. already on the site. The special permit is to fill and grade approximately 12 acres, moving approximately 50,000 cubic yards cut from the site and • 50,000 yds. of fill. The site has been used for a school for almost 20 years and is surrounded by single family residences to the west and north, commercial uses east and industrial uses to the south. The ERC did require an impact statement from the applicant which is now contained in the official record. Mr. Blaylock reviewed the four criteria to be considered for the requested rezone. 1 • Renton School District R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 2 The site is potentially classified for the proposed zone, and is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The general area has been in a stage of transition, and it is felt the request presented is timely. Improvements in the area have included new streets, traffic signals, water mains and storm drainage lines. Mr. Blaylock reviewed the differences in the R-1 and P-1 zones and how they would relate to this application. No conditional use review is required, setbacks were noted; height in P-1 can be 50 ft.; lot coverage maximum not applicable in P-1 zone as it is based on public demand for the facility: and access which must be from an arterial or collector street. In this case Monroe Avenue and N.E. 4th are the designated access points. There should be a minimum setback from the building to the curb line of 35 ft. Reviewing the Site Plan review request it was clarified by Mr. Blaylock that in a rezone it is only the uses permitted on the ground and not the structures that are to be considered. The Site Plan shows the proposed buildings, and the Examiner must determine that the proposal complies with the general design and development of the adjacent areas; meets building and zoning requirements; complies with the Comprehensive Plan, and has adequate safe traffic circulation and access. Traffic was discussed with suggested mitigating measures such as signal timing at N.E. 4th Street and Monroe Avenue, with turns to be prohibited on N.E. 4th Street from Jefferson Avenue N.E. to Monroe Avenue N.E. during peak traffic periods. Three access points were pointed out onto Monroe providing parking on the eastern side of the new structure, moving traffic away from the residential area. Monroe Avenue will be widened. Two access points will be provided to the north with 48 spaces on one lot going onto N.E. 7th Street, representing 6% of the total volume on this site. Traffic consultants do not recommend signalization at the access points. There is a requirement of 600 parking spaces. 880 are being provided for the complete project. Off-site traffic impacts were discussed and the EIS suggested three (3) off-site improvements involving the intersection of N.E.3rd/Edmonds Avenue; Edmonds Avenue Extension and Monroe Avenue N.E. from N.E. 6th Street to N.E. 12th Street. Continuing on with the Site Plan review, the Zoning Administrator reviewed the use of buffers between adjacent non-compatible uses. The single family area is of major concern and has a previous access agreement with the School District which includes screening between their dissimilar uses. The original plans suggested a reduction in the width of the landscape buffer, with the buildings being elevated and a sidewalk deleted from the buffer strip. Because of this, the School District eliminated street trees along the east side of Kirkland Avenue N.E. and the buildings were elevated because of drainage and security concerns in the design. Because the buildings were raised, they have become more visible. The buildings will have to provide fire access around their perimeter because of their size. It was noted that the Examiner could consider changing some of the design options of the buffer which could reduce noise and discourage pedestrian use along N.E. Kirkland Avenue. It was pointed out that the architects have designed the buildings for today's requirements. They may be required to comply with future standards due to the interface of the facility and the surrounding residential community. Mr. Blaylock pointed out the need for a Special Permit to fill and grade approximately 100,000 yards of material, and stated the exported fill projections do not present any significant problems with truck routes or street cleaning requirements. He stated it was staff's recommendation that the Rezone, and Special Permit requests be approved concurrent with approval of the Site Plan as presented, subject to seven (7) conditions listed in the staff report. The Hearing Examiner called for testimony from the applicant or their representative., Responding was: Felix Campanella The Campanella Group, Inc. 911 Western Avenue, Suite #400 Seattle, Washington 98104 Mr. Campanella expressed support for the request as presented by Mr. Blaylock. He stated the building designs in the Site Plan as proposed have progressed greatly from the original buildings on the site. He feels the School District has been very sensitive to the neighborhood aesthetics with regard to their building and designs. He described the designs and their contribution to the deletion of noise, as well as the unwritten access agreement with the surrounding neig6ibors. Mr. Campanella addressed the issue of traffic impacts and the Latecomers Agreement for signalization at Third and Edmonds and feels when the Latecomers Agreement is approved and reviewed, they will support that position. The Edmonds Avenue extension was of some concern, and he asked that Public Renton School District R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 3 Works clarify this matter for them. They do not know the scope and impact of the improvement in terms of its dollar value. He said they feel to place a restrictive covenant on, the property at this time to ensure something for the future, the nature of which they have no way of knowing what it might entail, presents a problem to them. Continuing, the matter of the buffer along Kirkland Avenue was adddressed by Mr. Campanella. He stated neighbors had been invited to attend the meetings, and at the last meeting in October, 1984 neighbors supported the position that in lieu of a sidewalk along the east side 9f Kirkland Avenue they preferred the School District place a 6 ft. high fence to preclude access from Kirkland Avenue to the campus. Several weeks later when the City Council considered the vacation of the easterly 15 ft. of Kirkland, the Council imposed a condition that a sidewalk with curb and gutter be placed along Kirkland Avenue. The neighbors were upset with the Council decision but did not speak up and advise that;an agreement had previously been worked out which would provide for a fence instead of a sidewalk. Buffering and landscaping of the berm was discussed and it was recommended that the sidewalk be eliminated, increase the height of the berm and provide landscaping and aesthetics that would prove more attractive to the neighbors. Access was again discussed as well as the possible realignment of N.E. 7th and the elimination of noise from the buildings. Calling for further testimony in support of the application, or comments, no one spoke at this time. Speaking in opposition to this proposal was: Bill Snell, Attorney 720 Olive Way, Suite #1700 Seattle, Wa. 98115 Mr. Snell spoke on behalf of several residents living on Kirkland Avenue. He stated the neighbors were focusing on one basic issue 'and that is adequate buffering between Kirkland Avenue and the RVTI building. He stated this proposal will almost double the size of the institution as pertains to students, facility and more vehicle trips. The activities taking place in the buildings are definitely going to be more disruptive to the neighborhood due to the noise involved, which again places the question of compatibility in the mind of the surrounding neighbors. Mr. Snell continued with testimony referring to the difference in documents set out in the draft EIS and those contained in the Final EIS. Mr. Snell stated it was felt by the neighbors of RVTI that substantial changes had occurred since the inception of this project which afforded them less protection. The buffers have been changed substantially and the projected impacts were not discussed in the final EIS, which the neighbors find very misleading on the part of the applicant. Mr. Snell stated it was felt there has been some misuse of the EIS process by the applicant because of what are considered substantial changes in the time between the original EIS and the Final EIS. The neighbors request that detailed plans be submitted which will show the dimensions and scope of the buffer including the height and roof design of the buildings. Calling for further testimony in opposition, wishing to speak was: Kathlene Jett 583 Kirkland N.E. Renton, Wa. 98056 Mrs. Jett's home is located directly across the street from the electronics building. She presented the Hearing Examiner with a letter from residents in the area setting out what they feel are concerns and conditions they feel should be imposed on this expansion project. She presented background information on three meetings that had been held by the local residents with the persons representing the School District. The discussions covered their concerns regarding the berming of the proposed buildings. She also referred to a conversation held with a City employee at a meeting regarding this application as to the zoning of this area and its compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Blaylock stated he was the employee involved in that conversation. It was at the last meeting that an agreement was reached with the School District regarding the deletion of the sidewalk on the east side of Kirkland, inclusion of a fence and substantial berming. She questioned the scale of the buildings which she stated had changed from the DEIS to the FEIS. The Zoning Administrator was called upon at this point to explain how the height of a building is determined. After his explanation, Mrs. Jett asked Mr. Campanella what the height of the electronics building across from her home was going to be. He replied the official height is 35 ft. Measured from the ground to the top of the peak of the roof will be 47 ft. He noted. the building is partially recessed underground so the figures quoted are applied as if the building was 2 stories high. There were many questions asked, and • I Renton School District No. R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 4 each question received a reply from staff or Mr. Campanella. Mrs. Jett concluded inquiring as to the possibility of moving the electronics building further east, more into the courtyard. Continuing with testimony in opposition to his proposal, speaking was: Alan Jett 583 Kirkland N.E. Renton, Wa. 98056 • Mr. Jett spoke briefly stating his disappointment in the drawings that had been presented as he felt he still does not have any concrete idea what the proposed buildings are going to look like when completed. He feels there is,a lack of consistency in the information given the residents from one meeting to the next with the School District. Mr. Jett feels with the information presented to them so far they are unable to properly judge what the impacts of this project will be on their property and the surrounding neighborhood. He referred to the draft EIS and the inconsistencies contained therein as compared to the final EIS as presented. He discussed the importance of the berms that had been promised to mitigate impacts to Kirkland N.E. residents and asked that no decision be made until the proper revised drawings had been presented to staff for their review. Also wishing to speak in opposition was: • William Knedler 579 Kirkland Avenue N.E. Renton, Wa. 98056 Mr. Knedler owns a home opposite the electronics building. He feels access is important, but feels the 20 ft. setback of the buildings from Kirkland Avenue N.E. may open up preferred parking on Kirkland Avenue N.E. if this area is not fenced and/or some how closed off. as students will only be 20 feet from their classroom. This problem is currently taking place off of 4th Avenue with students parking on both sides of the street.- He pointed out that the area around the proposed expansion on Kirkland N.E., N.E. 7th or Monroe is all residential, there are no multi-family or businesses adjacent to the proposed expansion on those three sides. He referred to the height of the building as now proposed compared to what they were led to believe by the School District and expressed concern over the change. Mr. Knedler addressed the concern of noise that will be generated for his area and feels the noise that will be generated within the electronics building will be a' nuisance factor for the surrounding area. He requested that strict controls be placed on the noise nuisance that the.residents feel will be generated from this one particular building. He also briefly discussed the possibility of electro-magnetic interference in the surrounding homes due to the machinery to be used in the proposed building. Further speaking in opposition to the request was: John Lissman 3116 N.E. 7th Street Renton, Wa. 98056 Mr. Lissman agreed with the assessment presented by the previous area residents, and in particular, the difficulty in determining exactly what is being proposed for their area due to inaccurate drawings that had been presented. He commented on the three entrances on N.E. Monroe and one entrance on N.E. 4th. with the entrance on 4th possibly being closed. With this in mind, he stated this would give him 40% of the access to the parking areas of the campus from a non-arterial, which appears to be a serious inconsi an in the presentation given at this hearing and what the surrounding neighbors had previously been told by the School District. The Hearing Examiner called for elevation plans which Mr. Blaylock stated had not been presented to his department by the applicant. The Examiner expressed concern over processing this application without the revised drawings, and the Zoning Administrator suggested the architect present revised drawings for the buildings showing specific revisions in the cut and fill as a result of the 'change in the elevations of the buildings. Mr. Campanella, architect for the project. advised the -Hearing Examiner that the site grading plans had previously been submitted to the Building Department, and had been there since the request for the building permit was accepted, several weeks ago. He stated grading plans had also previously been submitted to the Department of Public Works, and he was concerned that they had not been presented not only to the Hearing Examiner for review, but'had not been available as an exhibit at this hearing. It was agreed that design plans for the buffer will be reviewed by the Hearing Examiner at a later date so it may be determined exactly what the School District is proposing in Renton School District No. R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 5 relation to a buffer, as the plans now shown are not correct. Mr. Campanella spoke to the emergency entrances stating that access will be through a large gate that will remain locked, with the Fire Department retaining a key for their use. The Hearing Examiner called upon a representative from the Public Works Department to discuss the issue of sidewalks. Speaking was: Bob Bergstrom Public Works Department City of Renton Mr. Bergstrom reviewed the projects the City currently has proposed for the vicinity of the RVTI which consists of signalization at the intersection of N.E. 4th and Jefferson as well as the Monroe Avenue N.E. reconstruction project. - He stated it was his understanding that the intersection of N.E. 6th Place and the main entrance to the Vocational School will be aligned so there will be a cross-intersection. He stated the Public Works Department has recommended sidewalks for this plan as it has been their past experience if sidewalks are not) provided pedestrians will continue to walk through the landscaping, and could create a safety hazard. It is their contention that the sidewalks should remain in the project and not be traded in any way for a larger buffer. Mr. Bergstrom and the Hearing Examiner discussed the various alternative access approaches: Mr. Bergstrom discussed the proposed assessments for off-street improvments outside the project area and the contribution by RVTI. He also reviewed the proportional cost to RVTI suggesting that he personally did not think the 9% figure was accurate and suggested that it be omitted because the cost of the Edmonds Avenue extension is not known, nor does staff know who else may be participating in that cost. Mr. Bergstrom reiterated his belief that the sidewalk is necessary, even at the expense of the neighbors possibly losing a little bit of the desired buffer. Representing the Traffic Engineering Department, and wishing to speak on this proposal was: Gary Norris Traffic Engineering Department City of Renton Mr. Norris advised it was the desire of his department to not allow access off N.E. 4th, suggesting access would be best served from Jefferson so as to take advantage of the traffic signal that will be provided at that location. He said there have been on-going problems with access to RV1I from N.E. 4th and they feel the best design would be to eliminate the access from N.E. 4th. Mr. Norris stated there was concern with the access on the southerly most portion of the site on Monroe: reviewed the contributions assessed for off-site improvements: and stated it was his department's feeling that the 9% assessment to RVTI was fair. He explained they took the volume of traffic that is projected from the development and distributed it over the arterial network, and determined that the proportion of the traffic coming from the site using the roadways, justified the 9% assessment for the School District for the Edmonds Avenue extension. At this point another member of the audience wished to speak. Dr. Roberts, Director of RVTI Assistant Superintendent of Renton School District 3000 N.E. 4th Renton, Wa. 98056 Dr. Roberts spoke to the 9% issue and stated it was his understanding the figure was arrived at by distributing traffic data. He described the RVTI's assigned service area as set out by the State Legislature and stated that after an analysis was completed it was found that the Institute was primarily drawing students from Renton and Seattle. He felt with this in mind, the figure of 9%, drawing out of the Maple Valley area, is too high. When asked why he did not dispute that figure when placed in the EIS, Dr. Roberts stated he did not feel anyone knew the implication of those figures at that time. Again speaking from the audience, Mrs. Jett reiterated her feeling that the concerns and desires of the people living on Kirkland Avenue should be considered with respect to the placing of a sidewalk or the deletion of a portion of the berm. Mrs. Jett was advised that if all of the residents were still concerned, they should address the City Council as they are the body that has placed the requirement of the sidewalk into effect. Wishing to speak again was Dr. Roberts. Renton School District No. R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 6 Dr. Roberts addressed the issue of communications with the neighbors and stated he realized the concern by the neighbors that there be no parking on the west side of the campus. There was time spent discussing fences and solid walls, and the use of sidewalks. At the time of discussions it was determined that sidewalks were not desired, but the City Council has declared their desire that sidewalks be provided as part of the off-site improvements. A condition has been placed on this application requiring a rockery, which Dr. Roberts feels will be extremely expensive to install and maintain. He stated it was felt with the elimination of the sidewalk it would allow the berm to be higher, but they do not care to be burdened with a rockery. Dr. Roberts stated he felt through the years the School District has tried to be sensitive to the cares and concerns of the surrounding neighbors. It is their wish to continue the rapport with their surrounding neighbors that they have enjoyed in the past. At this point in the hearing, Roger Blaylock, Zoning Administratodvised the Hearing Examiner that staff would like to change their recommendation on tie traffic percentages because there is now a known cost for the installation of a traffic signal at 3rd and Edmonds and known costs for the improvement of Monroe Avenue N.E.. The cost for the extension of Edmonds Avenue N.E. is not known, and it would be preferred if the. School District would agree to participate at some time in the future when an appropriate share, based on a larger service area, could be evaluated. Mr. Blaylock stated it was felt the calculations presented by the T'raffic,eonsultant were theoritical, without a known street and limited in the benefit area. He feels the City Council has the authority to establish benefit areas and would prefer to see the School District sign a no protest agreement to participate in a benefit area, for a period of approximately 5 to 10 years. Mr. Blaylock again stated it was felt the Hearing Examiner should make a recommendation to the City Council to reconsider the issue of sidewalks. The Examiner questioned if the Council did not wish to eliminate the sidewalk and the 5 ft. easement, would the proposal of moving the buildings to the east or shrinking them down so they can fit within the powerlines be an alternative. Mr. Blaylock replied in the positive stating that could be a design alternative. Calling for further comments, speaking was Bill Snell, Attorney. Mr. Snell advised he was going to advise his client to write a letter to the City Council requesting that the sidewalk be deleted from the bidding on this proposal. Mr. Snell again reviewed the concerns of his clients as pertains to the inaccuracy of the drawings presented and stated he felt the citizens of the area should be presented with revised, corrected drawings so they may see exactly what is being proposed. He feels it is appropriate to know what type of vegetation is going to be used, type of fence, height of the building, street grades and how these items relate to the surrounding neighborhood. He requested that new plans be submitted to the City, with extra copies that could be checked out to the neighbors so they may have some time to review. Commenting further was Mr. Campanella, architect. Mr. Campanella stated that the lead agency for the EIS was the City of Renton, and the documents that Jtorney Snell has taken exception,to were part of the initial submittal of the EIS. He stated they are only contributors of the EIS. He further stated that they called the City this date and inquired if they needed to bring any further information to present at the hearing. They were advised that everything needed was already here in City offices. Mr. Campanella said there were sets of final working drawings, grading and landscape plans somewhere within a City Department, and took exception to the statement by the attorney that they had not prepared or presented adequate drawings for this hearing. Speaking further was Dr. Roberts. He summarized by stating they are in agreement with the (3, requests presented; they feel the 9% participation in an unknown cost is unacc ptable; feel they have already participated in the Monroe Avenue improvement; do not wish to consider a 3 ft. rockery as they feel there are alternative methods to accomplish the same end; and the School District feels many of the concerns expressed at this hearing can be dealt with in recommendation #7 of the staff report which would require approval of landscape plans by the Hearing Examiner, based on the recommendation of the Landscape Architect for the City. Considering all of the concerns expressed and the need for more accurate drawings,the Hearing Examiner stated he would hold the record open until July 12, 1985 to be sure the information and plans in the Building Department are available for his review so he may determine lot lines, height of buildings, landscaping and buffers. He requested that the School Board submit the necessary plans to the City by July 5, 1985 to be reviewed by Attorney Snell and his clients, who in turn will have one week to submit their comments. There being no one else wishing to testify, or further comments from, staff, the hearing was declared closed at 5:05 P.M. Renton School District No. ..� R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 7 FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant, The Renton School District, has requested approval of a reclassification of approximately 27 acres of property from R-1 (Single Family Residential; Minimum lot size - 7,200 sq ft) to P-1 (Public/Quasi-Public), together with a request for approval of a Site Plan for new construction, renovation and additions, and a special permit to excavate, fill and grade portions of the subject site. 2. The application file containing the application, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) documentation, the Building and Zoning Department Report, and other pertinent documents was entered in the record as Exhibit #1. 3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971, as amended), an Environmental Impact Statement has been prepared for the subject proposal. 4. Plans for the proposal have been reviewed by all City departments 'affected by the impact of this proposal. 5. The subject site is located at, and north of the campus of the Renton Vocational Technical Institute (RVTI) located north of N.E. 4th Street, south .of N.E. 7th Street, east of Kirkland Avenue N.E. (and Jefferson Avenue N.E.) and west of Monroe Avenue N.E. 6. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of public and quasi-public uses, but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the plan. The Comprehensive Plan further designates the areas west, north and east-northeast of the subject site for single family uses. 7. The proposed expansion actually would occur in an area surrounded almost exclusively by areas designated for single family uses. It is only east of the existing campus along Monroe and south along N.E. 4th that the Comprehensive Plan designates land for commercial, low and medium density residential and public uses. 8. The subject site was apparently annexed into the city in the 1940's. The original adoption of the Zoning Code provided the site's current R-1 zoning category. RVTI has been at the site for approximately 20 years. 9. The subject site is approximately 27 acres in area. The subject site extends north from N.E. 4th Street approximately 2400 feet, or approximately one half mile. For the most part the campus site is approximately 500 feet wide, although for the southern portion of the campus lying between N.E. 4th and N.E. 5th Street the site is approximately 900 feet wide. 10. The existing complex contains 10 buildings or major groupings of buildings. All but one of the structures is located in the wider southern portion of the original campus. Five parking areas containing 465 parking spaces serve the southern campus. One of these parking areas has access via N.E. 4th Street, while the other areas have access via Monroe. The northernmost building is served by an adjacent parking lot containing 92 parking spaces. The lot is located along Monroe but is served by a driveway on N.E. 7th Street. 11. An approximately 100 foot wide power line transmission easement runs north/south along the eastern edge of the subject campus, although it does not coincide with - the eastern property line. 12. The rezone request is to change the zoning from R-1 to P-1 for the entire 27 acre campus, which includes the existing facility and the primarily undeveloped property between the existing campus and N.E. 7th. 'The following table extracted from the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) shows the major differences in permitted heights, yards and permissible uses. Renton School District No. R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 8 R-1 P-1 Proposed Expansion Requires Conditional Requires Site Use Permit (CUP) Plan Approval Front Yard Setback 20 ft 20 ft. 25 ft from Monroe Rear Yard Setback 25 ft 20 ft Height 35 ft 50 ft Lot Coverage 17.5% Not applicable Access CUP Review Principal Access Arterial/collector Street Site Design/ CUP Review , Site Plan Approval Landscaping The rezone would permit buildings up to 50 feet in height rather than the current limit of 35 feet. While yard requirements generally remain the same, there are changes, but as proposed, the modifications will comply with the greater requirements at a minimum, that ,1s, no building setback will be less than 25 feet from a street. 13. The applicant chose to assume the rezone would be approved by the City Council and therefore, the applicant has also submitted the entire development plan for site plan review. This is because any property in a P-i zone requires site plan review, therefore, the simultaneous request. The proposal would almost triple the developed area. The campus currently consists of buildings containing approximately 120,000 sq ft. The additions would add approximately 215,000 sq ft. 14. An application for grade and fill was also submitted. Development of the campus whether by Site Plan approval or by Conditional Use Permit, would require modification of the existing terrain. The applicant proposes approximately 50,000 cubic yards of excavation (cut) and a similar 50,000 cubic yards of fill. Additionally, depending upon the nature of the soils, their structure and bearing strength, approximately 10,000 cubic yards will be removed from the site and an additional approximately 15,000 cubic yards would be imported to the site. Much of the proposed regrading would occur north of N.E. 6th and between Kirkland and the powerlines. The steeper slopes are in the vicinity of N.E. 6th Place (westerly leg). 15. As part of the original proposal, excavation was to lower the grade for the new buildings along Kirkland, both for aesthetic purposes and to reduce noise. "Excavation of the site will permit the lower building elevations, particularly the automotive buildings, relative to adjacent residences. Earthberms with landscaping will be located between the buildings and Kirkland Avenue. Earth berms can reduce noise levels as much as 15 dBA when several feet higher than the line of sight between he noise source and receiver." (Page 42, DEIS). The applicant originally proposed the excavation and lower base grade for the new buildings along Kirkland but those plans were revised and are not part of the measures now proposed. Safety and liability issues concerning easy access to the roofs of the various structures were raised. Moving the buildings east was opposed because it would crowd the campus and ruin the interior aesthetics of the campus and its proposed plaza. 16. The new buildings will include: an addition to the existing health building at the southwest corner of the existing campus; a foods technology building and an electronics building more or less aligned with N.E. 6th Street on the western Kirkland Ave. side of the campus; an automotive technology, complex, aligned with the westerly projection of the east leg of N.E.6th Place, but again along Kirkland Ave side; and a construction/carpentry technology building aligned with the westerly leg of N.E. 6th Place. All the new additions are proposed for the westerly portion of the campus as development is prohibited under the powerlines which are aligned north to south near the eastern property line. Parking has been proposed for the most part under the powerlines. • Renton School District No.-.23 R-095-84. SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 9 17. Major access routes to the campus are N.E. 3rd/N.E. 4th from I-405 to Monroe, and Park Drive/Sunset from I-405 to Monroe or Kirkland. Monroe is a collector arterial, Kirkland is a local street, Sunset is a principal arterial, Union, east of the campus is considered a minor arterial. Monroe is signalized at N.E. 4th. Union is signalized at N.E. 4th. 18. The accident rate for N.E. 4th is above average per million entering vehicles (MEV). The estimated rate of 1.2 is higher than the statewide average of 0.9 MEV for a 4 lane urban intersection. 19. The proposed expansion is projected to increase traffic from RVTI by approximately 3,070 vehicles per day. This equates to an approximately 75% increase over the current level of approximately 4,200 trips per day. The total trips per day will be approximately 7,200. The percentage increase over current usage (including the existing traffic impacts of RVTI) on the various streets serving RVTI due to the expansion and based upon accepted standard traffic engineering projections will be as follows: Street % Increase Edmonds Ave Extension 9 % Monroe Ave between N.E. 4th 24% and N.E. 7th Monroe Ave between N.E. 7th 14% . and N.E. 12th N.E 3rd/N.E. 4th 4% N.E. 7th 40% 20. The peak hour volumes will increase by approximately 710 trips over the existing volumes for the A.M. peak and approximately 170 during the P.M. peak. The A.M. peak is more pronounced because all day classes are in session between 8:00 and 10:00 A.M. The overall Level Of Service (LOS) is not expected to change substantially. Some intersections already experience a LOS of E or F (capacity and forced flow respectively). Monroe and 4th and Union and,4th are projected to have a decreased level of service. 21. The EIS makes the following statements: "Since [RVTI] is tax exempt, financial impacts are created upon the general community to provide and maintain public facilities supporting the Renton School District's operations. "The traffic study discloses that specific measurable impacts on traffic volumes will occur on streets' in the vicinity as a result of the project. A policy issue arises whether RVTI should be financially responsible for those_ environmental impacts." (Page 72, DEIS). 22. The additional traffic which. the proposed expansion will create will increase congestion at the N.E. 4th (driveway, and the additional load may increase the numbers of accidents at the intersections adjacent to the campus. Accidents at the Monroe/4th intersection are already prevalent for turning vehicles, and RVTI will increase the turning movements on three of the four legs of the intersection. 23. The existing access along N.E. 4th Street presents certain safety questions regarding left turn in and left out manuevers. The Traffic Engineering Division suggested that if access could be precluded and diverted to another driveway, that it be considered. The EIS includes similar analysis especially in light of the potential doubling of the size of the lot from its current 40 spaces to a proposed 76 spaces. 24. If land use impacts were ignored, the Engineering Department indicated that in their opinion, access could be via Jefferson and Kirkland. 25. Sight distance at the main entrance to the campus is insufficient due to the topography of the campus and the road section of Monroe adjacent to the entrance. Drivers are now forced to nose out onto Monroe to see whether the turn can be made safely. Renton School District No. ==y- R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 10 26. Adequate water and sewer services are provided to the subject site. An infiltration system will be provided to handle storm water on the site. 27. The health building will be placed between, and connect the two existing buildings near the N.E. 4th Street driveway. The other new buildings will be between approximately 30 and 35 feet in height. The height of buildings is based upon a formula which considers the angle and height of peaked roofs. One of the buildings actually has a height of approximately 47 ft. The peaked roof design was intentionally chosen to blend with the residential character of the area. To further • the compatibility, the roofing material will be tile and the buildings will contain modulations, that is, the buildings will not contain one long exterior wall fronting the single family homes. The effect creates additional variety and introduces a less stagnant appearance. 28. The tile roofs also serve to absorb noise and will be coupled with concrete walls to further attenuate noise. 29. The use was described by the Building and Zoning Department as one of the most intense public uses possible. The school does not simply consist of lecture and classrooms. The buildings will contain automotive, carpentry and industrial uses. not just shop class equivalents of those functions. In addition, catering to older students, the school generates more traffic than other public uses (see above traffic analysis). CONCLUSIONS REZONE 1. The proponent of a rezone must' demonstrate that the request is in the public ' interest, it will not impair the public health, safety and welfare and in addition, complies with at least one of the three criteria found in Section 4-3010. which , provides in part that: a. The subject site has not been considered in a previous area-wide rezone or land use analysis; or b. The subject site is potentially designated for the new classification per the Comprehensive Plan; or c. There has been a material and substantial change in the circumstances in the area in which the subject site is located since the last rezoning of the property or area. The requested reclassification is warranted and should be approved by the City Council subject to one condition regarding height. 2. The site is designated in the Comprehensive Plan for public and quasi-public uses and the reclassification would accomplish the objective by zoning the site to P-1, the zoning type most suitable for public uses. 3. The zoning would also correspond with the actual use of at least portions of the subject site and permit additional school operations without need for a conditional use permit. The RVTI Campus has been located on the site for approximately 20 years. The campus serves the educational needs of not only the City but also the larger community. 4. There were no previous attempts to coordinate the zoning and the designation in the Comprehensive Plan. As the table (above) indicates, the differences between the P-1 and R-1 zones are not extensive. A Site Plan would be required in the P-1 zone, and a Conditional Use Permit, guided by similar criteria, would be required for R-1. Both procedures are currently subject to public review. The major difference would be that a building could be up to 50 feet high in the P-1 zone as opposed to 35 feet in the R-1 zone. A 50 foot building situated on the western side of the campus, close to' the single family homes, would be inappropriate and should not be permitted. Therefore. the rezone should be conditioned so that no structure greater than 35 feet could be constructed within 100 feet of the site's western and northern property lines. A 50 foot building would be totally out of scale with surrounding single family development, and this condition will limit any such building's proximity to single family development. Renton School District No. R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 11 SITE PLAN 5. The ultimate aim of the School District, to expand the RVTI campus, appears to serve the public use and interest but must be modified substantially in some respects to comply with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The concept of the expansion should be approved as it is compatible with the map element of the Comprehensive Plan which has been adopted by the City Council. At the same time though, the plans must evidence sensitivity to the location, more or less in the middle of residential development. The actual use of the site raises a number of questions regarding the interplay of a rather large and somewhat unique. institution in the midst of a single family area which consideration of the rezone per se did not raise. RVTI's uniqueness is that it is not just simply a school, it is a trades school. The school supports and trains in the industrial arts. The campus represents a mini-industrial park cloistered in a single family zone. Actually, one could reasonably argue with the designation of the site as a 'mini-industrial park' since it is 27 acres in size and runs almost one half mile in a north south direction. The new additions will provide separate buildings and facilities housing electronics, food, carpentry/construction, and automotive technology. If the campus were isolated from other development, then the campus appears to be well designed and the new facilities well integrated into the existing campus. Unfortunately, the campus is surrounded on three sides by residential development, and especially along the western property line where the actual buildings will be located, it is surrounded by single family development. 6. While certain aspects of the design may serve the applicant's desires for special purposes such as the more or less independent carpentry/construction complex, the approach appears to create unnecessary impacts on the residential neighborhood north and west of the campus. This particular concept - an independent carpentry complex, creates an additional parking lot, and more particularly, a driveway which intrudes on the neighborhood where one would otherwise not be necessary. The applicant failed to demonstrate why the carpentry/construction complex requires an independent identity. It will not be screened or fenced off from the rest of the campus, and if its parking area, or at least driveway, were shifted to utilize Monroe there would be less impact on the residential neighbors. 7. Similarly, since the campus is being redesigned, the existing driveway along N.E. 7th could also be removed so that traffic does not exit onto a residential street. 8. While on the subject of driveway location, the traffic analysis indicates that the drives along Monroe, especially the main entry and along N.E. 4th, create some traffic concerns. Safety concerns regarding the Monroe Avenue entrances, especially the main entry, will require some modification to the grade to provide safe sight distances. This should be accomplished in concert with the input of the Engineering and Traffic divisions (See below). The concerns regarding the N.E. 4th drive will only be magnified if the number of parking stalls served by that driveway are approximately doubled. The EIS indicates that traffic safety and efficiency could be served by closing that drive and diverting vehicles to other driveways. Again, since the campus is being redesigned, it would seem appropriate to redesign the internal traffic patterns at this time. Timely redesign would avoid the introduction of new design constraints which might foreclose such relocation or make relocation difficult, if not impossible, in the future. The access to N.E. 4th should be precluded. Signs on campus could indicate the reserved nature or location of guest or staff parking without the need for a separate and potentially hazardous or inefficient drive on 4th. 9. The off-site impacts of a complex such as RVTI cannot be ignored, nor should the applicant raise the specter of economic hardship, or an unaesthetic campus, to transfer the impacts of its proposed development to the adjoining community. As the Building and Zoning Department indicated, RVTI is a highly intense industrial type use with immediate consequences for its neighbors and the general community. The general nature of its impacts can be described as two-fold. One is the direct impact on its residential neighbors - aesthetics, noise, light, glare. traffic. The other is its impact on the community - increased traffic and traffic congestion. This analysis does not ignore RVTI's positive contributions in the area of education but rather is intended to identify the impacts its expansion will have on the non-educational environment. Renton School District No. - R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 12 10. Addressing the impacts on the residential community first, this office takes notice of the fact that in quite a few instances environmental and aesthetic considerations which boost project costs are pushed aside when cost considerations become an issue. This generally appears to occur because these environmental factors have little if any relationship to the applicant's practical goals - in this case expanding a campus. Examples would include the new State Convention Center - the roof gardens and landscaping may be sacrificed; I-90 - light rail links eliminated, freeway lidding and landscaping minimized; I-405 - berming minimized, lidding ruled-out as to expensive; SR-515 - berming, landscaping and sound barriers minimized. 11. The EIS, as part of the scoping process, identified the impacts of the expansion on the adjacent residential neighborhood as an area of particular concern. The School District in the past acknowledged the unique situation which exists with the juxtaposition of the School and the adjacent single family neighborhoods which surround the site on almost three sides. The School District took steps to prevent or discourage pedestrian, as well as vehicular traffic from areas west of the campus by eliminating any access to the campus from Jefferson or Kirkland Avenues. In addition, the existing campus could generally be described as low-rise. Most of the existing structures do not appear to be over one-story in height, lending a more compatible scale to the area. 12. The homes lining the west side of Kirkland Avenue are generally modestly sized one story homes, less than the permitted 35 foot height limit of the R-1 zone. Unless strong measures are taken to soften the western perimeter of the RVTI campus, goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan to buffer incompatible uses and zones will not be achieved. The establishment or expansion of a complex such as RVTI with it heavy traffic and industrial nature could have a blighting 2, ffect upon the single family areas surrounding it/if they are not adequately screened and protected. The Building Department indicated that "the concern, of course, is that the single family area would deteriorate if not protected." 13. While the proposed buildings will be, 35 feet in height as determined by formulas applicable to pitched roofs, some of the buildings will be greater than 35 feet in overall height, and one will be approximately 47 feet in height. The original concept demonstrated in the DEIS called for a berm, sunken buildings and multiple tiers of landscaping. These measures coupled together would have softened the effect of this mini-industrial park on the immediately adjacent residences. These proposals were modified by the applicant subsequent to the issuance of the DEIS and these measures were severely limited, thereby limiting their effectiveness to buffer the neighborhood. 14. The subject proposal under review has changed the base elevation of buildings, reduced the height of the berm to allow for a sidewalk and lessened the proposed landscaping. The City required sidewalk which would decrease the space along the western boundary of the site was blamed for the loss of the berm. This loss of space could limit'the height of the berm since there will be less space to allow for a berm's sloping sides. In addition, the applicant discovered that its original plan to lower the base elevation of the structures could result in easy access to the roofs of the structures which could increase liability, so they eliminated the proposal. In addition, the new proposal appears to raise the base elevation so that buildings will no longer be 'either' at the grade of Kirkland Avenue, or below that grade, but will be seated approximately 7 to 8 feet above that base elevation. This would result in the buildings appearing up to 50 feet above street level. Such realignment will have the affect of presenting a higher facade or profile to the adjacent single family homes. The landscaping was modified at the request of the Public Works Department to eliminate deciduous street trees. 15. The applicant indicated a number of reasons why certain suggested measures could not be accomplished, but they do not necessarily justify shifting the burden of conflicting land use to the residential communities to the north and west. Monetary constraints alone cannot justify eliminating the berm, or even a rockery, if it is necessary to screen the use. The applicant has choosen to fund internal amenities, including a plaza of sorts. Similarly, while the powerline does constrain the site, the applicant was ,either compensated for that constraint when the easement was acquired, or the applicant acquired the site knowing full well of the limitations associated with the corridor or for a cost indicative of the constraint. As one solution the parking areas and necessary grading can be worked around the powerline and its associated towers if necessary. Other possibilities to accommodate the berms, landscaping and sunken buildings follow. Renton School District No.`L._- R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 13 16. Therefore, by modification of the parking areas or modification of the interior relationship of the buildings, or by modifications to the buildings themselves, the applicant will be able to provide room for a four foot high berm at the western property line. The berm can then serve its intended purposes - that is, noise attenuation and screening. The EIS indicates not only will a berm reduce noise up to 15 dBA, but by screening the view of the noise generator, persons become less conscious of the noise source. The berm will serve both purposes well. 17. The campus design may have to be shifted east to accommodate the berm and landscaping. This can be accomplished either by shifting the entire campus plan east and reducing the parking areas, reducing the internal landscaping and plaza areas, or reducing some of the proposed buildings. Similar eastward shifting will help accommodate the sunken buildings. If the areas were shifted, the higher grades of the parking lots would be more remote from the lower roof line lessening the opportunity for access to the roofs. Again, the initial idea for the berm was to make the campus hard to enter from the west, to screen the incompatible campus use from the residential development and to reduce off-campus noise. The,. submitted plans do not amount to a berm unless the buildings are placed at a lower elevation. The plans amount to raising the slope of the lot and placing the ' buildings above the grade of Kirkland Avenue, thereby defeating the screening affects of the berm and probably reducing its noise inhibiting capability. The site, therefore, should be excavated as necessary to place the buildings no higher than the base elevation of Kirkland Ave. This will result in a positive berm between the campus buildings and the residential community to the west and north. While the applicant's architect noted that shifting the buildings eastward would adversely affect the interior spaces and aesthetics of the proposed new additions, not shifting the buildings would appear to have a similar negative aesthetic impact on a fairly large residential community located west of the subject site. The residential community should not have to bear the full effects of the mini-industrial park simply because the District may be trying to squeeze too much on too small a site. The site, as is indicated above, is constrained by the powerline, and while the applicant has lost flexibility because of the powerline, that does not mean that everything they propose can be or should be accomplished on the remainder of the subject site. 18. As for the landscaping along the western and northern property lines, frankly, until this office receives a policy directive from the City Council regarding what is an appropriate street tree, deciduous trees which have existed naturally for at least 100 years and have provided shade, color, screening, and variety will be used to screen the subject site. They will not be eliminated from a landscaping plan because the leaves have to be raked up in the Fall. A fence to provide additional screening and to discourage access between Kirkland Avenue's residential neighborhood and the campus should be worked into the landscaping. 19. No reason was presented, nor latitude • provided to modify the standards of development for the School District. Under current law public agencies, including the City of Renton. the School District, the Hospital, etc. are subject to the same standards pertaining to on-site and off-site improvements as are private developers. There are minimum improvements which must accompany any project. Any substantial development or redevlopment of a site triggers a responsibility for off-site improvements adjacent to that site, including installation of curbs, gutters, streets and sidewalks. Those requirements may have not only financial repercussions but also other non-monetary costs, such as lot size reduction to accommodate the required improvements. And in the proverbial ripple effect, interior design changes may also be necessary to accommodate these changes. The School District is not immune from these requirements and is responsible for those improvments adjacent to its site under the provisions of Section 4-103(A). Therefore, the School District's current participation in roadway improvements along its respective frontages is required by Code. This would ordinarily include a sidewalk and its provision means, in this case, that the landscaping berm will have to be accommodated elsewhere on School District property, east of the sidewalk. Renton School District No. R-095-84. SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 14 20. In addition.-an applicant may also be responsible for mitigating more remote (in a locational sense) adverse impacts of their project which have been identified in environmental documents, in this case an Environmental Impact Statement prepared for the project. The EIS identified those impacts particularly as traffic related and particularly as regards the intersection of Edmonds and N.E. 3rd, the Edmonds Ave extension, and that portion of Monroe between the site and N.E. 12th Street. The EIS also raised particularly the policy issues of charging the School District, a tax exempt public agency, for certain costs. There does not appear to be any distinct policy exempting the School District. Therefore, this office sees no reason to find the School District exempt. The School District should not be treated any differently than Valley Medical Center or Metro. This office was not provided with any particulars regarding the boundaries of the District, but assumes from general knowledge that the district's boundaries range beyond the precise City limits. Its tax base is wider than the City's and its population is not co-extensive with the City's. Why should the more limited population of the City pay the .costs of the District's expansion? The required street and intersection improvements must be made. Should not the entity which is generating the need, or a portion of the need pay? This office will also make an assumption that special arrangements with those students living outside of the district (the,EIS discloses outside attendance) for reimbursement, is made to cover services. Again, costs attributed to the expansion should be paid by, those who use the services which will create the demand, not just those living within the immediate City limits. 21. Therefore, the School District will have to provide funding for the improvements slated for those areas where the EIS identified impacts attributable to the School , District. The expansion is projected to generate approximately 9% of the traffic on the Edmonds Ave Extension; approximately 14% of the traffic on Monroe Ave between N.E. 7th and N.E. 12th; and approximately 4% of the traffic at the intersection of N.E. 3rd and Edmonds. Therefore, the School District should provide pro rata funding for those improvements. Where a project such as the Edmonds Avenue Extension is still quite terttive and costs remain unknown, the applicant should be required to participate in an LID for the project. SPECIAL PERMIT - FILL AND GRADE 22. With the exception of the excavation modification necessary to accomplish the Kirkland Avenue base elevation for the new buildings, the proposed Fill and Grade Permit appears to serve the public use and interest. 23. The applicant is not so much removing or adding great quantities of material to the site as modifying the existing contours to provide reasonable building pads on the subject site. Approximately 50,000 cubic yards of material will be repositioned on the site. Depending upon the ultimate utility of some of the material, materials will be removed or imported for structural fill and top soil requirements. 24. The applicant may have to redefine certain contours east of the original proposal in order to accommodate the berm and sunken building elevations. In addition, modification to the grades in the vicinity of the entrance drives along Monroe Avenue should be made in consultation with the Engineering and Traffic Divisions of the Public Works Department, in order to provide safe sight clearance for vehicles leaving the subject site. RECOMMENDATION The City Council should approve the reclassification of the subject site subject to the following condition: No building over 35 feet in height shall be constructed within 100 feet of the western and northern property lines. DECISION The Site Plan is approved subject to the following conditions: 1. No driveways shall be permitted on any street but Monroe Avenue N.E., except locked and gated emergency driveways as determined by the Fire Department. Renton School District No. R-095-84, SA-096-84 & SP-097-84 August 1, 1985 Page 15 2. The base elevation of buildings along Kirkland. Jefferson and N.E. 7th Street shall not be greater than the elevation of those respective streets. with the exception of the Health,:addition which may be the same base elevation as the existing surrounding buildings. 3. A four foot high landscaped berm shall be required along the western and northern property line. 4. A twenty foot landscape buffer shall be required along the western and northern property line. Said landscaping shall be for the main purpose of screening visually and acoustically the campus from the prospective of the residential homes north and west of the campus, and shall be subject to the approval of the landscape architect. The buffer should consist of a mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees which serve the primary purpose of aesthetically screening the campus. The landscape buffer should also contain a fence which discourages access to the campus from the west or north sides. 5. The applicant shall be responsible for participating in 4% of the cost of the intersection of Edmonds Avenue N.E. and N.E. 3rd. 6. The applicant shall be responsible for participating in 14% of the cost of the roadway improvements for Monroe Avenue N.E. between N.E. 7th and N.E. 12th Streets. 7. The applicant shall be required to execute restrictive covenants to participate in an LID, if one is formed, to construct the Edmonds Avenue Extension. 8. The grade of any entry drive shall be designed in consultation with the Engineering and Traffic Divisions to eliminate any sight clearance problem for traffic exiting the subject site. The Special Permit for fill and grade is approved. ORDERED THIS 1st day of August, 1985. , eatt, FRED J.

Any aggrieved person feeling that the decision of the Examiner is based on erroneous procedure, errors of law or fact. error in judgment, or the discovery of new evidence which could not be reasonably available at the prior hearing may make a written request for review by the Examiner within fourteen (14) days from the date of the Examiner's decision. This request shall set forth the specific errors relied upon by such appellant, and the Examiner may, after review of the record, take further action as he deems proper. An appeal to the City Council is governed by Title IV, Section .3016, which requires that such appeal be filed with the, City Clerk, accompanying a filing fee of $75.00 and meeting other specified requirements. Copies of this ordinance are available for inspection or purchase in the Finance Department, first floor of City Hall. The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte (private one-on-one) communications may occur concerning land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in private with any decision-maker concerning the proposal. Decision-makers in the land use process include both the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council. All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This permits all interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court. The Doctrine `applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for Reconsideration as well as Appeals to the City Council. • /` • S. r n & `� i► `" \• .•' ��=8`ur ?

They have not commented in writing to the Building and Zoning Department, so we are unaware of any specific design plans. It is suggested that the Hearing Examiner have present the. various Public Works officials that will be necessary to answer any questions dealing with traffic and off-site improvements.

Renton, Washington 98056 Mr. William R. Kiedler 579 Kirkland Avenue N. E. Renton, Washington 98056 July 10, 1985 Mr. Fred Kaufman Land Use Hearing Examiner Renton Municipal Building 200 Mill Avenue Renton, Washington 98055 Re: Application For Approval of a Rezone (R-1 to P-1 ) , Site Plan and Special Permit For Fill and Grade For Construction of Four (4 ) Buildings and modernization of Two ( 2 ) Buildings onR.V.T.I. Campus Dear Mr. Examiner: After careful review of the again incomplete drawings that the Renton School District supplied to us on Monday, July 8, 1985, (three days late) , we strongly feel that the rezone of R.V.T.I. property as proposed in the above-referenced application should be denied. The building heights on the elevated base above the existing grade of Kirkland Avenue Northeast is grossly incompatible with the modest single family residences which completely surround the proposed expansion. Further, the construction of the build- ings on an elevated grade almost completely eliminates the effect- iveness of the proposed berming and vegetative screening as a noise and visual buffer. The buildings can be lowered by excava- tion as shown in the DEIS on page 30. This mitigating condition was deleted from the FEIS for no apparent reason, other than the preference of the applicant. We also find the parking lot access in the northwest corner of the proposed expansion (i.e. off of Northeast Seventh) completely in- compatible with the residential neighborhood and again in violation with what has been previously promised by R.V.T. I. to the adjacent property owners. At all of the community meetings, R.V.T.I. empha- tically stated 'that all access to the campus would be off of Monroe s v Mr. Fred Kaufman July 10, 1985 Page Two Avenue Northeast only, as Kirkland Avenue Northeast (and Northeast Seventh) were residential streets and would not be able to handle the very significant increase in traffic that this expansion would create. It is our firm belief that further development of the R.V.T.I. campus should be within the parameters of the existing R-1 zoning which governed the construction of the initial campus. As you know,- the P-1 zoning allows buildings up to a maximum height of 50 ' (but can, and we suspect might, go as high as 95 ' with a con- ditional use permit) , as well as a much more densely built campus. The R-1 zoning has a 35 ' maximum building height and cannot exceed 6 . 0 dwelling units per acre, which is much more compatible with our residential neighborhood. We do not feel that these restrictions will bear as heavily on the School District as the proposed rezone to P-1 and subsequent industrial-like development of the campus will on the surrounding property owners. The R-1 restrictions were put in place originally to protect the property owners and maintain the integrity of the existing residential neighborhood and these restrictions should continue to govern R.V.T.I. campus development. Some residents have already sold and others are actively discuss- ing selling their family homes and moving out of our neighborhood in order to escape the adverse environmental impact and intrusion into their quiet family life-styles that this proposed expansion will create. We fail to see any of the "compatibility and equity" which the Renton School District says is their goal in this R.V.T. I. expansion as presently proposed. It is our firm belief that the integrity of our neighborhood as it has been developed over the last 30 years will be destroyed by a P-1 rezone and subsequent proposed massive industrial-like development of the campus adja- cent to our single family homes. We know our property values will be adversely affected and, since our family home is the largest in- vestment most of us will make in our lifetime, .we are very anxious that the expansion of the campus be compatible with our single family dwelling neighborhood. Further, we are disappointed by R.V.T. I . ' s lack of honesty as to the scope of their proposed campus expansion. This is illustrated by their continued submission of incomplete and/or inaccurate site plans. Additionally, the drawings are misleading in that, they de- depict mature trees (20+ feet in height) in the buffer, which 111, r , Mr. Fred Kaufman July 10, 1985 Page Three r obviously will not be the case for at least several years after they are planted and perhaps longer, depending on the size of the trees when they are planted. Lastly, Mr. Examiner, at the hearing, Mr. Campanella vehemently insisted that he had filed with the Building & Zoning Department prior to the June 28 hearing detailed drawings accurately setting forth building heights, setbacks, buffering and screening, etc. Where are these drawings? We have tried to locate them, but can- not. The ones submitted by Mr. Campanella on July 8 have a draw- ing date of July 2, 1985. To the best of our knowledge, the plans currently on file with the Hearing Examiner do not comply with the City of Renton' s requirements relating to site plan approval. Until detailed site plans are submitted that comply with the City' s requirements, the Examiner should continue this matter indefinitely. As respects the berm, 6 ' high fence and three-layer vegetative screening, it is our understanding from reading the Environmental Impact Statements that this would be along the entire perimeter of the campus where it abuts the single family neighborhood and we believe that R.V.T.I. ' s "final" site plans should so reflect this. As you can see, they do not. In other words, it is our contention that the fence and vegetative screening should start at the corner of Monroe Avenue Northeast and Northeast Seventh, run west along Northeast Seventh to Kirkland Avenue Northeast and then run south along Kirkland Avenue Northeast to Fourth Northeast. We strongly urge that you deny the rezone, but if you recommend approval, then at a minimum the following conditions should be imposed: 1. A landscaped buffer shall be installed along Northeast Seventh and Kirkland Avenue Northeast sides of the R.V.T. I. project. The landscaped buffer shall contain a berm with a 6 ' high fence and sufficient trees and shrubs to substantially reduce the visual impact of the large institutional buildings on the adjacent resi- dential neighborhood. 2. No vehicular or pedestrian access shall be permitted along the Kirkland Avenue Northeast or Northeast Seventh sides of the R.V.T. I. project, except for emergency ve- hicular access that will be permitted by means of locked gates. y. d .T 1. Mr. Fred Kaufman July 10, 1985 Page Four, 3. The height of the buildings along the Kirkland Avenue side of the R.V.T.I. project shall not exceed 35 ' in height as measured from the Kirkland Avenue Northeast street grade to the highest point of the building. In order to mitigate the height impact, the applicant shall excavate as necessary to obtain the 35 ' height limit. 4 . The posting of a maintenance bond by the applicant to insure compliance with the landscaping requirements of Chapter 4-744. 5. The applicant shall submit detailed final drawings to be reviewed and approved by the Hearing Examiner, after an opportunity for public comment, showing the following: (Note: all drawings shall be to scale. ) (i ) the width of the landscaped buffer and the height and the location of the fence (the type of mater- ials used to construct the fence shall also be noted) ; and (ii ) the type, number, height and diameter of all trees, shrubs and vegetation placed in the landscape buffer; and (iii ) the height of the buildings, berm and fence measured from the Kirkland Avenue Northeast street grade and the general building profile, including roof design. Thank you for considering our concerns and comments regarding the proposed rezone and building application of R.V.T. I. Sincerely, ALLEN JETT KATHLEEN M. JETT WILLIAM R.

The Zoning staff con- cluded that only grading and storm drainage plans for the Special Permit need- to be submitted at this time. These plans were sub- mitted in April as part of the Building- Permit application. We contacted the Campanella Group yesterday, and they brought two sets of civil drawings to our office early this morning. Attached please find a set of civil plans. RGN/dm CI L M II ;U 2 0 Allen and Kathleen M. Jett 583 Kirkland Avenue N. E. Renton, Washington 98056 July 8 , 1985 RECEWED HAND DELIVERED JUL 8 1985 Mr. Fred Kaufman CITY OF RENTON HEARING EXAMINER Land Use Hearing Examiner Renton Municipal Building 200 Mill Avenue Renton, Washington 98055 Re: Application' For Approval of a Rezone (R-1 to P-1) , Site Plan and Special Permit For Fill and Grade For Construction of Four (4 ) Buildings and Modernization of Two (2 ) Buildings on R.V.T. I. Campus Dear Mr. Examiner: This correspondence will reference the hearing of the above- referenced matter which was held on Friday, June 28 , 1.985. As you will recall, at the close of the hearing you instructed Mr. Campanella, the architect for R.V.T. I. , to deliver to the Building & Zoning Department of the City of Renton two copies of plans and specifications setting forth in detail the landscaped buffer along Kirkland Avenue N. E. , as well as, I believe, detailed drawings of the proposed buildings, showing heights, configurations, etc. These plans and specifications were to be delivered to the Building and Zoning Department by no later than Friday, July 5, 1985. One set of drawings was for yourself and the other set was for me to circulate among the neighbors of R.V.T. I. for their review and comment. I wish to advise that Mr. Campanella did not deliver the plans and specifications as directed. Additionally, at the close of the hearing, it was suggested by Mr. William Snell (and I believe that you also concurred with him) that Mr. Roger Blaylock, a representative of R.V.T. I. and I contact the Renton City Council and request that the proposed sidewalk improve- ment along the east side of Kirkland Avenue Northeast -be omitted from the upcoming bids for the street improvement portion of the R.V.T. I. expansion until such time as you have had an opportunity to make a ruling regarding the above-referenced rezone and building application. 1. Mr. Fred Kaufman Land Use Hearing Examiner July 8, 1985 Page Two Consistent with that agreement, I appeared at the City Council meeting which was held on Monday, July 1, and personally requested that the sidewalk improvement portion of the street improvement along Kirkland Avenue Northeast be temporarily withheld from the bids. I further advised the Mayor and City Council of the pend- ing rezone and building application and was told that the Council would look into the legality of withholding the sidewalk from the bids . It ;was the concern of the Council that the bids not be piecemeal and one Council member suggested that the sidewalk portion of the street improvements be bid as a separate item and that the bidders be advised that the sidewalk improvement along Kirkland Avenue Northeast might be deleted from the project in the future. The Mayor advised that the Council would look into the matter and get back to me, and I felt that this was a satis- factory solution to the sidewalk situation. I then asked if either the Renton Zoning Department or R.V.T. I. had contacted the Mayor or the City Council and I was advised that neither of them had. Of course, I was not surprised that Mr. Blaylock had not had an oppor- tunity to do so, as he had left on a two week vacation following the hearing, but I was disappointed that R.V.T. I. had not bothered to contact either the Mayor' s office or a member of the City Council, especially when they are the ones that object so strenuously to the sidewalk improvement in the first place. In summary then, I wish to advise that R.V.T.I. and/or their repre- sentative Mr. Felix Campanella, has not complied with your instruc- tions to deliver to the undersigned in care of the Renton Building & Zoning Department detailed plans and specifications of both the sidewalk and buffer along Kirkland Avenue Northeast and the build- ings in the proposed expansion, accurately depicting building heights, setbacks, design and configuration, etc. Accordingly, we hereby request that, because R.V.T. I. did not supply either via the Final Environmental Impact Statement or at the hearing for rezone, etc. , adequate plans and specifications upon which to make an intelligent and fair ruling as to the environmental impact of either the rezone from R-1 to P-1 or the proposed grad- ing and building expansion/modernization, that you deny the appli- cation for approval of rezone, site plan and special permit for fill and grade for construction of four buildings and modernization of two buildings on R.V.T. I. campus. Sincerely, tbrihrib4911 KATHLEEN M. JETT Chairman, Concerned Neighbors Of R.V.T. I. kj/59 cc: William Snell e Mr. Fred Kaufman Land Use Hearing Examiner July 8 , 1985 Page Three P. S. Monday, July 8 , 1985, 11:55 a.m. I just spoke with Mr. Jerry Lind of the Building & Zoning Depart- ment and he advised that Mr. Campanella ' s office delivered the site plans and drawings today, Monday, July 8 . This late delivery is typical of the "spirit of cooperation and concern for the neighbors" that R.V.T. I. has exhibited towards us throughout the entire pro- cess of this rezone procedure. In anticipation of a July 5 delivery of the site plans, my husband and I revised our plans for a four-day weekend last weekend, so that we would be in town to pick up the drawings Mr. Campanella was supposed to deliver by July 5 . We now have rescheduled last weekend' s plans for this coming weekend and, accordingly, it will be a personal hardship and grossly unfair for us to have to break these plans again in order to circulate the plans among the neighbors for their review and comment and have a response to your office by one week from today, much less this Friday, July 12. You will recall that we were supposed to have a full week to review these plans and make our comments. Accordingly, we still request that the application for rezone be denied and rescheduled for another hearing date in the future after everyone has had adequate time to review the plans and speci- fications pertaining to this matter. This is a major project that will have a substantial and potentially adverse environmental impact on the surrounding residential neighborhood and these plans should be carefully reviewed and evaluated to be sure that the buildings and buffer have been adequately designed so as to minimize this impact as much as possible. 'L` Please have someone from your office contact me at work ( 623-9900 ) to advise as to the current status of this matter and in particular when we are required to have our comments regarding the site plan, etc. , submitted to your office. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, III _ ___ _ (...A, ,r,„, , ____ _ , ,,,, ,„ KATHLEEN M. JETT /59 Siliww. Allen and Kathleen M. Jett 583 Kirkland Avenue N. E.

Campus Dear Mr. Kaufman: We have participated in the EIS process and are neighbors of the Renton Vocational Technical Institute. We believe that, if the mitigating measures we propose are included as conditions of the rezone of the R.V.T. I. site, the proposed expansion would be acceptable to us. We wish to empha- size that it is our firm belief that these conditions are abso- lutely essential in order to minimize the adverse environmental impacts that this proposed densely built high-rise campus of R.V.T. I. will have on our residential neighborhood. If our con- cerns are not addressed and included as written conditions of the issuance of the rezone, then we firmly oppose the expansion of R.V.T. I. and are prepared to take whatever measures are legally available to us to preserve the integrity of our long-standing residential neighborhood and its R-1 zoning. We would like to start off by stating that we support all of the conditions/mitigations which are scheduled to be implemented by R.V.T. I. in their proposed expansion. In addition, we believe it is essential that all of the conditions in the attached Appen- dices A and B be imposed on the rezone, as well as those proposed 0 • o , Mr. Fred Kaufman June 27 , 1985 Page Two in the EIS. Appendix B is a list of conditions from the EIS that should be imposed, but which do not require further detailed dis- cussion on our part. Appendix A contains a discussion of new proposed conditions that we believe are absolutely essential if the R.V.T.I. proposal is not to destroy the quality of our resi- dential neighborhood along Kirkland Avenue N.

Our homes are located in a single family dwelling neighborhood which has been since the homes were built and still is zoned R-l. We feel that the City of Renton has an obligation to us as homeowners, tax payers and voters to continue to protect the integrity of this neighborhood by either leaving the zoning of the R.V.T.I. campus as it is presently classified, i .e. R-1, or imposing adequate miti- gation conditions. We additionally want to point out that the entire proposed expansion of R.V.T. I. as set forth in the final EIS, is adjacent to single family residences. This fact is directly contrary to the impression given by R.V.T. I. in the EIS. It is correct that some of the land adjacent to the existing campus is zoned multiple family and/or light industry. However, no land adjacent to the proposed expansion is so zoned. Please refer to attached copies of diagrams taken from pages 46 and 47 of the Draft EIS, as well as attached copy of Comment 4 taken from page 35 of the Final EIS. 2 . ACCESS TO R.V.T. . I. CAMPUS OFF KIRKLAND AVENUE N.E. A. Vehicles : We request that there be no vehicular access to the R.V.T. I. campus off of Kirkland Avenue N. E. and R.V.T. I. has acknowledged to us at the community meetings held last fall that they made such a commitment to the neighbors back in 1965 and that this promise will be kept. B. Pedestrian. We request that there be no pedestrian access to the campus off of Kirkland Avenue N. E. This issue was discussed in great detail at the meetings held at R.V.T. I. last fall and it was finally agreed that there would be a foot cyclone fence with adequate landscaping to screen the fence. It was further agreed that this fence along Kirkland Avenue N.E. would have two or three gates which would be locked at all times and which would provide emergency access only for the police or fire department (not for students late for class and who find it far more convenient to park in our residential community and cut across the campus to class instead of parking in the desig- nated parking lots located on the campus and in most instances at a considerable distance from the classrooms . J __\ • Additionally, we were assured that the fence would not be straight line, but would have at least two jogs in the approxi- mately 1600 foot run. Further, this fence would be adequately landscaped with evergreen and deciduous trees, as well as various shrubbery, so as to make the fence less harsh and more compatible with the surrounding residential community. Lastly, we voiced our concerns that the fence would be less effective in preventing pedestrian access to the campus if there was a change in ground level from one side of the fence to the other and it was expressed by R.V.T. I. that this would not be the case. The reason we are so adamant about the erection of a 6 ' high fence is because we wish to avoid the intrusion into our neighbor- hood of students who choose to park along the residential streets and cut across campus to their classes, instead of parking in the inconveniently located and probably inadequate parking lots the school has provided. This very unacceptable situation has existed for years, and continues to exist, along Jefferson Avenue N. E. and erodes the privacy and integrity of the adjacent resi- dential neighborhood. _ 3 . BERM AND LANDSCAPING. The berm and landscaping have been substantially reduced, both in size and scope, from. the Draft EIS as compared to the Final EIS. Please refer to attached copies of page 30 of the Draft EIS and page ix of the Final EIS. A. The Draft EIS depicts a three-layer landscape buffer on a substantial berm consisting of : 1. Large deciduous trees (20 ' -25 ' in height depicted in Figure 6_ of Draft EIS) . These trees give the impression in the diagram that they are an effective barrier in obscurring the electronics building from the adjacent residences ; 2. Conifer screen on street side of fence; 3. Low growing shrubbery buffer on campus side of fence; and 4 . Kirkland Avenue N. E. appears to be the bench- mark grade for the proposed buildings. -2- 5. All of these depictions are consistent with the representations and commitments made to the residents attending the community meetings and, accordingly, are acceptable to us. B. The Final EIS depicts : 1. A substantially reduced vegetative screenbuffer compared with the Draft EIS; 2 . A substantially reduced berm in height and width in relation to building height as drawn in the Draft EIS; 3. Substantial changes in grade elevation of the buildings as compared with the Draft EIS. Whereas Kirkland Avenue appears to have been the established or benchmark grade in the Draft EIS, the Final EIS shows a considerably elevated grade level for the buildings. 4 . All of these changes reflect a substantial reduction in buffering and screening and are completely inconsistent with the representa- tions and commitments made by R.V.T. I. to the residents attending the community meetings. It goes without saying, that these substantial reductions are totally unacceptable to us, as they make the proposed development grossly incompatible with the adjacent residential neighborhood. 4 . BUILDING CONFIGURATION. We are deeply concerned by drastic inconsistencies of all building configurations from the Draft EIS to the Final EIS and are very disturbed and angry that these drastic changes in both the building configurations and lines of sight, as well as the elevated grades, are never addressed in writing in the Final EIS. They are only vaguely alluded to and/or cleverly camouflaged in the diagram on page ix of the Final EIS (i.e. 35 ' building height: 35 ' from where to where?, etc. ) What final form will these buildings take and how can any of us access their environmental impact with any accuracy based upon these ever-changing and misleading presentations? -3- Based on these concerns the following conditions should be imposed: 1 . A landscaped buffer shall be installed along the Kirkland Avenue side of the RVTI Project. The landscaped buffer shall contain a berm with a six-foot high fence and sufficient trees and shrubs to substantially reduce the visual impact of the large institutional building on the adjacent residential neighborhood. 2. No vehicular or pedestrian access shall be permitted along the Kirkland Avenue side of the RVTI Project, except for emergency vehicular access that will be permitted by means of locked gates. The proposed sidewalk shall be eliminated. 3. The height of the buildings along the Kirkland Avenue side of the RVTI Project shall not exceed 40 feet in height as measured from the Kirkland Avenue street grade. The building design shall be similar to that shown on the Landscape Buffer diagram on page 630 of the DEIS. 4. The posting of a maintenance bond by the applicant to ensure compliance with the landscaping requirements of Chapter 4-744 . 5. The applicant shall submit detailed drawings, prior to the closing of the record, to be reviewed and approved by the Hearing Examiners, after an opportunity for public comment, showing the following: (Note--all drawings shall be to scale) (i) the width of the landscaped buffer and the height and the location of the fence ( the type of materials used to construct the fence shall also be noted; and ( ii) the type, number, height, and diameter of all trees, shrubs and vegetation placed in the landscape buffer; and ( iii) the height of the buildings, berm and fence measured from the Kirkland Avenue street grade and the general building profile including roof design. 6/28/85 8951F 1 • • APPENDIX B 1. Excavation of the site should be done to permit lower building elevations for the the automotive, construction technology and electronics buildings. 2 . Earthberms of a minimum height of 5 ' will be located between the buildings and Kirkland Avenue. 3 . A 6 ' high galvanized cyclone fence will be located on top of the 5 ' high berm the entire length of Kirkland Avenue (i.e. from 7th Street N.E. to 4th Street N.E. ) . 4. Double-glazed windows will be used whenever appropriate to reduce noise levels. 5 . All grading and filling operations, as well as construc- tion, will be done during daylight hours only. 6 . All noise generating machines, i .e. saws, metal presses, drills, lathes, grinding machines, etc. will be operated within the buildings only. 7 . All machinery which emits noise in excess of 105 dBA will be enclosed in a noise shielded room inside buildings. 8 . All doors and windows of buildings will be closed during noise-emitting activities. 9 . All machinery which emits noise in excess of 105 dBA will be limited to the hours of 7 :00 a.m. to 10 :00 p.m. , unless noise bafflers are utilized which reduce noise levels to a maximum of 105 dBA. 10. Building design will locate noisiest areas away from Kirkland Avenue N. E. 11. Off-site noise monitoring will be required by the City in order to insure full compliance with WACC 173-60. 12. The landscape scheme will screen the adjacent residences from the visual impact of the campus buildings and parking lots. 13. The landscape buffer will be installed around the entire perimeter of the site. The heaviest vegetative screen will be along Kirkland Avenue N. E. 14 .

Single family and multiple family and business zones are east of the site. Business and light industrial uses are south of the site. The proposed rezone will allow a development which could be less compatible with the character of the established neighborhood than would be permitted under the R-1 zone. However, mitigating measures listed on pages 56 and 58 of the DEIS under "Land Use" are intended to lessen those potential adverse impacts. Comment Number 5: 1 The conceptual site plan does conform with the Public Zone (P-1) under the City of Renton Zoning Code. Since RVTI is encompassed on all sides by streets, there are no "common lot lines" between single family zoned land and the site. Minimum setback requirements applicable to the RVTI site are 20 feet and 25 feet from Monroe Avenue. The conceptual site plan shows landscaping along the entire perimeter of the site is proposed to be expanded. A 20 foot wide vegetative screen is proposed between the pro- posed buildings and Kirkland and Jefferson Avenues. Comment Number L.: Among a variety of design elements, height of buildings can have an adverse impact on the character of the adjacent residential neighborhood. Rezone to the P-1 zone would permit maximum height of buildings to be 15 feet higher than the existing single family residences west and north of the site and with the exception of the multiple family development in the R-3 zone east of the site which is also 50 feet in height. In addition to the mitigating measures listed on pages 56 and 58 of the DEIS, gabled roofs will be utilized to lessen the sense of loss in the single family residential character. The Hearing Examiner will determine whether the expansion adequately mitigates impacts on the adjacent residential neighborhood. 35 . - . . .,_. •••. . . .- _, . .. .. = ;1 1 v . ; . ___=-- mi . --- .— .....7.. !--I ! .4! . ,"I •.,s I \ .4,-,1 ___,..... .t__• _ ..",4.1.., 7 --==.....„--1)=e...::.—•,-..-..:=.z.-g-•;74-.....„..,...,-,--,./., . .. _......---,-/ .. ..-:-.A— •I J. ..._. . ..• „ .. .• ..-.' -,- ,--•'' ----- -It--. • . -1-7- -WM- . , --4--+.„ . .

The applicant, Renton School District No. 403, is requesting three land use decisions from the City of Renton to allow the expansion of the existing Renton Vocational Technical Institute located at 3000 N.E. 4th Street. The requests include a rezone, a site approval, and a special permit for fill and grade. The following delineates the three actions requested: REZONE The rezoning of 27 acres from R-1, Single Family Residential to P-1, Public Use. PRELIMINARY REPORT THE HEARING EXAMINER RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 403 R-095-84, SA-096-84, SP-097-84 Page -3 SITE APPROVAL The approval of specific site plan for the 27 acre site to include the construction of four (4) new buildings together with modernization and additions to two (2) existing building with the associated parking lots. The development will add approximately 215,000 square feet of building space to the present 120,000 square foot facility. SPECIAL PERMIT Request for a special permit to fill and grade a total of approximately 100,000 cubic yards on 12 acres of the subject site. There will be approximately 50,000 yards of cut with approximately 50,000 yards of fill associated with the project. Up to 10,000 yards will be removed from the site with a possible importation of 15,000 yards which will be hauled onto the site for structural fill. The above three applications will be considered separately in the following analysis. 2. Under the State Environmental Policy Act of 1971, an Environmental Impact Statement was prepared for the proposed project. The draft EIS was issued on March 21, 1985 with the final issued on June 11, 1985. The Environmental Review Committee considered the mitigating measures as stated in the Impact Statement and decided not to impose any additional mitigation under their authority. The Hearing Examiner may utilize the draft and final EIS's to provide a basis for placing more conditions upon the project. REZONE 3. The Hearing Examiner must review four specific criteria under Section 4-3014(C) to determine that the circumstances surrounding the rezone request are adequate to recommend approval of the reclassification. The following evidence clearly demonstrates that the rezone request is appropriate and should be recommended to the City Council. a. That substantial evidence was presented demonstrating the subject reclassification appears not to have been specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning. At the time of implementation of the Zoning Code in 1953, an R-1 classification was applied to the subject site. That classification has remained to date and the site has not been considered for rezoning since the adoption of the 1965 Comprehensive Plan or the 1981 Northeast Quadrant Plan. Therefore, the proposal complies with the intent. b. That the property is potentially classified for the proposed zone being requested pursuant to the policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan and conditions have been met which would indicate the change is appropriate. The subject site is classified as Public/Quasi-Public by the City's Comprehensive Plan. The rezone request to P-1 would be in compliance with that intent. c. That since the last previous land use analysis of the area zoning of the subject property, authorized public improvements, permitted private development or other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change. The general northeast portion of the City has been expanding rapidly during the last 15 years. In particular, new development has occurred to the south and east of the subject site. To the south, commercial facilities have been built immediately south of N.E. 4th Street with governmental uses including the City Shop, the District Court and the County Health Department. To the east, multiple family development have been constructed during the last five years with presently another 150 units under construction. To the west of the subject site, residential areas are gradually being infilled primarily with the new development of the single family plat of Highbury Park and the multiple family project of Brighton Ridge. PRELIMINARY REPORT 'i-v [HE HEARING EXAMINER RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 403 R-095-84, SA-096-84, SP-097-84 Page 4 General public improvements in the area include the construction of new streets, traffic signals, water mains, and storm drainage lines to the immediate area. d. The final test to determine whether a rezone is appropriate is to address the question of timeliness. Considering all factors, it appears that rezoning the property is appropriate at this time. In fact, it may have been postponed longer than it should have. The site has been specifically designated for approximately 20 years as a public service site and not a residential site and adequate public service have been available for about 5 years. SITE APPROVAL 4. Under Section 4-710(B)(1)(a), governmental buildings such as hospitals, libraries, museums, and schools are required to go through a site plan approval. The applicant presented a rezone request and an Environmental Impact Statement was prepared addressing all of the consequential impacts from the proposal. Functionally, the rezone and the site approval are impossible to separate when considering the impacts and the operation of the -total public facility. The Hearing Examiner does not have specific criteria established to address site approvals except as generally delineated in the P-1, Public Use Zone, which states that the Hearing Examiner must ascertain and determine that the proposal complies with the following criteria: a. That the general design and development conforms with the adjacent surrounding; b. It meets applicable building and zoning code requirements; c. It complies with the Comprehensive Plan; d. It has adequate and safe traffic circulation and access. The above criteria can be specifically analyzed by addressing the principle issues of access, adjacent traffic impacts, and buffering of adjacent land uses. ISSUE: 5. Access: Should.access controls be imposed upon Monroe Avenue N.E., N.E. 4th Street or N.E. 7th Street? The Environmental Impact Statement includes Appendix A which is a traffic analysis addressing both general traffic circulation and access to the site. On pages 8, 9, and 10 of the Final EIS are a series of suggested migitating measures. On N.E. 4th Street, traffic volumes will increase as development continues east of the subject site. The Consultant suggests that the first measure would be to improve the signal timing for the intersection of N.E. 4th Street and Monroe Avenue N.E. This would reduce the queues waiting for eastbound traffic on N.E. 4th Street turning on Monroe. Avenue N.E. However, if this is not done, it is suggested that turns be prohibited on the section of N.E. 4th Street from Jefferson Avenue N.E. to Monroe Avenue N.E. at least during the peak period. Primary access to the subject site is off of Monroe Avenue N.E. The Consultant has pointed out that there are major problems with sight distance and the present landscaping. There does not appear to be enough warrants to require the installation of a traffic signal for access to the subject site even with full development of the proposed projects. It is suggested that when we have a major access onto a public street that at least one car length at grade roadway is provided. This will require some additional on-site grading and modification, but it helps reduce the problem of sight distance. In addition, the landscaping should be modified. In any case,, the real problem still lies the grades as established for Monroe Avenue N.E. It does not appear there is a definite solution to the problem except possibly to provide protected left-turn pockets and widen Monroe Avenue N.E. at the entrance. ' 'PRELIMINARY REPORT _ IHE HEARING EXAMINER RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 403 R-095-84, SA-096-84, SP-097-84 Page 5 Access from the northern parking lot onto N.E. 7th Street is not truely an access problem, but the secondary impact of traffic moving traffic through the adjacent single family residential neighborhood to the west on Kirkland Avenue N.E. is of concern. A total of 48 parking spaces are envisioned in that northern parking lot. This represents only 6% of the total parking on the site. On-site parking is provided above that required for the expansion per•the City Code. A total of one parking space for five students is required under Section 4-2208(5)(B). Based upon the calculations of students on page 77 of the Draft EIS, approximately 600 parking spaces would be needed. The applicant is providing 880 with full development in 1990. Each phase will be evaluated under the building permit to insure that parking is provided. ISSUE: 8. Off-Site Traffic Impacts: Should the applicant pay for identifiable off-site traffic impacts resulting from the expansion of the facility. The project itself will triple the size of the available space at RVTI. Associated traffic impacts have been identified and measures in the traffic study (Appendix A) in the DEIS. In both the DEIS and the FEIS, mitigating measure No. 8 under Transportation clearly states that the applicant should be responsible for the following three off-site improvements: a. The intersection of N.E. 3rd/Edmonds Avenue extension = 4%. b. Edmonds Avenue extension = 9%. c. Monroe Avenue N.E. from N.E. 6th Street to N.E. 12th Street = 14%. The intersection at N.E. 3rd Street and Edmonds Avenue N.E. is being constructed by the Centron Corporation and presently there is a request for latecomer's agreements pending before the City Council. Assessing RVTI a percentage of that traffic signal would be consistent with the Hearing Examiner's decision of the Terrace environmental appeal in 1981. In this specific case, Centron will construct to the signal and will be subsequently repaid by development upstream from the site. The Edmonds Avenue extension is the extension from N.E. 3rd Street to the Maple Valley Highway. The adjacent developers to that roadway which will extend down the hill, will bear the initial cost of two-lanes of the construction along with the dedication of the right-of-way as part of the development review process. The additional two-lanes, because it is a major arterial, will have to be funded from other sources and all of the general development in the area contributes to that demand. The Impact Statement has identified that 9% of that demand will come from the function of RVTI in itself. Therefore, is would seem logical that the applicant be required to participate in the future improvement of that street in that percentage or a percentage that is appropriate at the actual time of development of the street. The only way to assure compliance would be to assign restrictive covenants as part of the rezone application to control participation in the formation of an L.I.D. or direct contribution to the City for out-of-pocket development. The third point of contribution would be the actual improvement of Monroe Avenue N.E. from N.E. 6th Street to N.E. 12th Street in the amount of 14% of the total cost. This is presently included on the 6-Year Street Program which coincides with the development scheme for RVTI to completed by 1990. RVTI will increase the demand on that street by sheer volume by approximately 14% during this four year time period and, should be appropriately charged at this time. In fact, if the monies were received now, it might be impetus to move the project up on the 6-Year Street Program and have it completed by the actual operation date of RVTI. PRELIMINARY REPORT u THE HEARING EXAMINER RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 403 R-095-84, SA-096-84, SP-097-84 Page 6 ISSUE: 8. Buffer: What type of use or landscape buffer should be utilized along the western perimeter of the subject site to create the separation of single family residential with high intensity public uses. The Comprehensive Plan Map does not provide for any buffer or gradation between the RVTI site and the adjacent single family residential area. RVTI is one of the highest intensity public uses in the City for both traffic and building intensity. RVTI intrudes into the established character of the single family area. Over many years, both the School District and the residential neighborhood have come to an agreement to preclude access and create major screening- between their dissimilar uses. The concern, of course, is that the single family area would deteriorate if not protected. The activities of RVTI also introduces noise into the neighborhood. The buffer was intended to create a physical separation and a noise baffle. The EIS addresses the problems with noise and the present City and State regulations concerning them. 9. The City Council, in vacating a portion of Kirkland Avenue N.E. at the request of the School District, complicated the site plan review process by placing conditions upon the site before the total scope of the project could be evaluated and recommended by the Hearing Examiner. In fact, their decision to require a sidewalk along the eastern edge of Kirkland Avenue N.E. intrudes into the planned landscape buffer area and reduces the ultimate height of the landscaping berm by approximately 1-1/2 to 2 feet. At this point, the Public Works Department has continued and obtained a cooperative agreement with the School District for the construction of the sidewalk and the designs have been completed. We believe that the Hearing Examiner should still make a recommendation concerning this as it relates to the total site plan and it is not beyond the authority of the City Council to reverse their decision based upon new information concerning the entire site. The buffer has also significantly changed. The draft EIS (page 30) compared to the final EIS (page ix) suggests a reduction in the width of the landscape buffer, but in fact what has happened is the buildings have been elevated approximately three (3) feet in height and the sidewalk has been taken out of the buffer strip. As a result, the School District has eliminated the street trees along the east side of Kirkland Avenue N.E. The buildings themselves were elevated because of drainage and security concerns which appear reasonable in the design, but the problem resulted is that the intensity of the buffer appears to have been weakened, and its affect diminished. The principle intent of the buffer and associated fencing was to direct all of the pedestrian and vehicular traffic away from the residential area. The Building and Zoning Deparment believes that the Hearing Examiner has several design options available to him to consider. The first would be the elimination of the sidewalk which would allow the berm to be increased approximately two (2) feet in height and discourage pedestrian use and parking of students along Kirkland Avenue N.E. and at the same time reduce the noise levels by creating a physical barrier between the buildings and the residential area. The second alternative would be to place a three (3) foot retaining wall or rockery adjacent to the sidewalk and allow the berm to be above the adjacent sidewalk. This may be the best alternative in that it creates an extra physical barrier that people are not willing to climb a rockery to gain access to the RVTI site. The third alternative would be to leave the proposed landscape buffer in width and scale as proposed in the final EIS but increase the intensity of plantings significantly. This might be the most cost effective for the School District, but it probably does not meet the intent of separation and buffering of land uses as well as either alternative 1 or 2. PRELIMINARY REPORT 'id THE HEARING EXAMINER RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 403 R-095-84, SA-096-84, SP-097-84 Page 7 10. The noise problem associated with the operation of RVTI is an ongoing problem. Federal and State standards for noise: polution are clearly established. The only absolute way to deterine impacts from a site would be a continuing monitoring program by a neutral third party with reports back to the City to required possible modifications of equipment or design in the future. The architects on the project have designed the facility for todays standards, but that should not preclude the City from requiring compliance with future standards because of the unique interface between the facility and the residential area. 11. All City departments commented in October of last year when the initial proposal came around. The draft EIS and the final EIS have been made available to them for their review. No comments concerning those revisions have been received by our deparament. SPECIAL PERMIT: 12. The applicant is also requesting a special permit to allow approximately 100,000 yards of material to be maneuvered on the subject site. A total of 10,000 would be exported with approximately 15,000 imported. The special permit is an intregal part of the site plan approval process. The site plan clearly demonstrates the need for the on-site movement and the minor amount of imported and exported fill does not raise any signficiant problems with either truck routes or street cleaning. H. DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the above analysis, it is recommended that the Hearing Examiner recommend to the City Council approval of the rezone request, file R-095-84, subject to the concurrent approval of the site plan request, file SA-096-84. It is further recommended that the Hearing Examiner approve the site plan request, file SA-096-84, subject to the following conditions: 1. Approval of the rezone request, file R-095-84; 2. Modification of the primarly entrance off of Monroe Avenue N.E. to improve site distance by reducing the adjacent landscaping and leveling the entry road for at least thirty (30) feet with the grade of Monroe Avenue N.E. 3. Signing the parking lot on N.E. 4th Street to limited right-turns during peak hours. 4. Off-site noise monitoring for a period of one year following full operation of the automotive, carpentry and electronic facility to assure full compliance with WAC 173-60. 5. Financial participation in the installation of off-site traffic signals and traffic improvements as follows: 4% of the cost of the intersection of N.E. 3rd Street and Edmonds Avenue N.E. 9% of a two (2) lane roadway construction for the Edmonds Avenue extension (will represent approximatey 4.5% of the total extension construction). 14% of the improvement of Monroe Avenue N.E. from N.E. 6th to N.E. 12th Street. These funds should be deposited to special account at this time for actual road construction during the next five years. If the roadways are not constructed, then the funds will be returned to the Renton School District at that time pursuant to the State law. 6. Redesign of the western perimeter buffer to include a three (3) foot rockery with the associated berm on top to meet the original intent of the berm under the draft EIS. 7. Approval of detailed landscape plans by the Hearing Examiner upon the recommendation of the Landscape Architect to meet the intent of immediate screening along the western perimeter of the subject site. it .;� ''Ii ( —:1Yl_ l I � il ° . : ; ° ' ts • s, ,TI „• . }'i G 1 . i?1i ... i• 47••I.. •d1 f I '., ° ,4•' j9 �/ '4 1j I I:io.l''ta•,1'1.:� •`� •. • • [ •�, 1: 4--o n„, .{,a ' • .,.), •I• •' 1 • a N l i„ I 41 It '�� •,, 1 •..1' ,r a.

Old Capitol Building Olympia, WA 98501 Attn: Mr. Harvey Childs Superintendent of Public Instruction Re : C-4 Approval of E. I. S. Draft Dear Harvey: Pursuant to our phone conversation this date , we have en- closed a copy of the draft Environmental Impact Statement as prepared by: R.W. Thorpe and Associates and published March 19 , 1985 by the City of Renton. During our discussion, you were unsure of the impact this procedure will have on C-4 approval and requested a copy of the document.. We have also included a letter from the Director of Building and Zoning in regards to the statement progress . We do feel that the process of the impact statement does not effect the building of the Construction Technology building because the site work for this building will be done under a separate contract and will not be done until the E. I. S. is completed by the City. Therefore , the build- ing is tentatively scheduled to begin 20-30 days after the site work has begun. Please consider this during your re- view of the enclosed E. I. S. Further , we as the architects do not forsee any critical problems with the final completion of the statement . We have made every effort to comply to the City of Renton' s wishes for an expedient review of the E. I.°S. statement .

SPECIAL Mayor Shinpoch honored outgoing Council President Robert J. PRESENTATION Hughes with a City of Renton award in appreciation for his outstanding service to the City in 1984. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted Renton School and published according to law, Mayor Shinpoch opened the District #403 public hearing to consider the Renton School District #403 Petition for petition to vacate the east 15 feet of the north 1500 feet Street Vacation of Kirkland Avenue NE, located south of NE 7th Street adjacent to Renton Vocational Technical Institute. Letter from City Clerk Maxine Motor was read indicating proposed use of the vacated property to accommodate an architectural enclosure, landcaping and general site beautification in conjunction with future RVTI expansion program. The Public Works Department has verified that the petitioner represents 100% of the ownership of the subject property. Continued Letter from Board of Public Works was read recommending approval of the vacation request with the following conditions: 1 ) vacation request to be granted subject to easement for roadway, utilities and quasi-public utilities (gas, power and telephone) being provided over entire right- of-way; 2) all improvements required and located within the easement; 3) setbacks on east side will be established from existing property line (existing line being 30 feet east of centerline of Kirkland Avenue NE) ; 4) City Council has the discretionary right to waive the fee since the applicant is a public agency; 5) should the City require additional right-of-way in the future, even though we are maintaining the easements, there will be no cost for acquisition; and 6) City will incur no cost for maintenance. Continued Public Works Director Richard C. Houghton designated the location of the proposed vacation on display maps and circulated photographs of the site. Continued Kathleen Jett, 583 Kirkland Avenue NE, asked for an explanation of setback dimensions. Mr. Houghton advised that the 15-foot portion to be vacated would be measured from 30 feet east of the centerline of Kirkland NE . Responding to questions by Council members, Mr. Houghton indicated that ordinance provisions allow Council the option to waive vacation fees for a public agency; access to the subject property along Kirkland Avenue NE would be restricted to emergency vehicles only; the property would be bermed and landscaped to protect adjacent residential development; cable lines are not undergrounded in the vicinity; and off-site improvements would be required as a condition of permit requirements. He also designated the subject property in the "B" category: streets or alleys for which no public funds have been expended in the acquisition, improvement or REI IN BUILDING & ZONING DEI- JTM NT DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION REVIEW SHEET ECF - 099 _ 84 APPLICATION NO(S) : REZONE (R-095-84) , SITE P1r14N APPROVAL (SA-096-84) , SPECIAL PERMIT RENTON SC (SP-097-84) OOL DISTRICT NO. 403 PROPONENT : N PROJECT TITLE : RENTON VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE EXPANSION.

Renton, Washington 98056 November 23 , 1984 Mr. Roger Blaylock Building and Zoning Department City of Renton 200 Mill Street Renton, Washington 98055 Re: Renton Vocational School Building and Rezoning Application Dear Mr. Blaylock: Attached to this letter is a written list of concerns of the neighbors of Renton Vocational School relative to the proposed new construction and modernization at Renton Vocational Techni- cal Institute. Please submit our list of concerns concurrent with the RVI Building and Rezoning Application to the Environ- mental Review Committee which will conduct the EPI scan and make recommendations to the Hearing Examiner. We greatly appreciate your assistance and cooperation in this matter. Very truly yours, CONCERNED NEIGHBORS OF RVI KATHLEEN M. JETT Chairman 1TDF/kj/029 Attachment cc: William N. Snell, Attorney CONCERNS OF NEIGHBORS OF RENTON VOCATIONAL INSTITUTE Following is a list of concerns of the Neighbors of the Renton Vocational Institute. These concerns were discussed at at least one, and in most cases all three, of the community meetings held at Renton Vocational School on August 7 , October 17 and November 19, 1984 . To the best of our information, we believe notices of these meetings were distributed only to neighbors of RVI that live directly across the street from the property owned by the Renton School District, i.e. Jefferson Avenue N. E. , Kirkland Avenue N. E. and possibly Seventh Avenue N. E. between Kirkland Avenue N. E. and Monroe Avenue N. E. Based on these concerns, the EIS at a very minimum should discuss and analyze the following issues : 1. Zoning, land use and impact on adjacent land uses; 2. Traffic and access, including pedestrian access; 3 . Aesthetics, including building height and setback, and landscaping; 4 . Light and glare; 5 . Noise impacts; 6 . Electromagnetic interference from proposed electronics building; 7 . Air pollution from automobile emissions. We also concur with the lead agency' s identification of areas that need to be addressed in the EIS. 1. ZONING. The EIS should address any change of zoning from the present zoning of R-1 for the following reasons : a. When the Renton School District decided to build the Renton Vocational Institute at its present location, the property was zoned R-1 at that time. It was the neighbors ' impression that the RVI would build in conformance with R-1 zoning regulations, which they have done to date, so as to be compatible with the surrounding residential community. All of the residents consulted to date want the School District to continue to build in a fashion compatible with the R-1 zoning so as to protect the integrity of their property and residential community. They do not want buildings constructed on the campus that exceed 35 ' above the present grade of Jefferson Avenue N. E. and Kirkland Avenue N. E. , which border on the west side of the Renton Vocational Institute campus . We are also concerned that all buildings that exceed one story in height be adequately set back from Kirkland Avenue N. E. in order to protect the abuting residential property from noise polution, shading of our property from the sun, etc. b. Objective: Our homes are located in a single family dwelling neighborhood, zoned R-1, and we feel that the City of Renton has an obligation to us as homeowners, tax payers and voters to continue to protect the integrity of our residential neighborhood by leaving the zoning R-1 and requiring the Renton School District to construct buildings that conform to the R-1 zoning specifications . This was a major concern of the neighbors at the time the Renton -2- School District initially proposed to locate the RVI in our neighbor- hood and it continues to remain a major concern today. It is our feeling that there is plenty of land for the Renton Vocational Institute to build one and two story buildings that would be far more compatible with the neighborhood they have chosen to locate in. If RVI wants to go "high rise, " then we feel they should locate their three and four story (or higher) buildings in an area presently zoned for such construction. 2 . ACCESS TO RVI CAMPUS OFF OF KIRKLAND AVENUE N.E. : a. Vehicles : We request that there be no vehicular access to the RVI campus off of Kirkland Avenue N. E. and RVI has acknowledged that they made a commitment to the neighbors back in 1965 that this would be the situation. RVI has advised, however, that the Renton Fire Department requires that there be emergency access to the campus in two or three places off of Kirk- land Avenue, but that there would be gates provided in the fence line along Kirkland Avenue N. E. for this access and, further, that these gates would be locked at all times with the Fire Department (and/or Police Department) having keys to unlock these gates should an emergency situation arise. We have no objection to locked gates. b. Pedestrian: We request that there be no pedestrian access to the RVI campus off of Kirkland Avenue N. E. This issue was discussed in great detail at the meetings held at the Renton Vocational School and it was finally decided that a 6 ' vinal covered cyclone fence with landscaping would be erected with locked gates for emergency access only. -3- 4 Among other things, we discussed our concern that before occupation of any of the newly constructed buildings, a 6 ' fence (either temporary or permanent) be erected from 7th and Kirkland to the northwest end of the current Administration Building. We were assured that the fence would not be straight line, but would have at least two jogs in the approximately 1600 foot run and would be landscaped with evergreen and deciduous shrubs, the exact nature of which would be discussed at a future meeting. The jog in the fence line, as well as the landscaping, would be for aesthetic purposes to make the fence less harsh and more compatible with the surrounding residential community. Lastly, we were concerned that the fence will be less effective in discouraging pedestrian access to the RVI campus if there is a change in ground level from one side of the fence to the other. c. Objectives : To eliminate, or attempt to eliminate, the increasingly heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic and very congested parking situation around the perimeter of the RVI campus which is being created by the continued expansion of RVI. In summary, we want to preserve the integrity of our residential neighborhood. 3 . AESTHETICS. Aesthetic impacts, including building height, setback and landscaping need to be addressed. 4 . LIGHT AND GLARE. Light and glare from the RVI campus and its impact on the residential neighborhood needs to be addressed. -4- • 5. NOISE. Noise from major institutional buildings and its impact on the residential neighborhood needs to be addressed. This should include noise shielding of roof top air conditioners, industrial compressors, auto body shop noise, etc. 6 . ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE. Electromagnetic interference, especially from the pro- posed electronics building, and its impact on the residential neighborhood needs to be addressed. We are concerned that im- properly shielded electromagnetic interference would disrupt our radio and television reception, trigger garage door openers, set off our security systems (burglar alarms ) , etc. 7 . AIR POLLUTION. The substantial increase in traffic will result in an increase in air pollution that needs to be addressed. In conclusion, the EIS should address at a very minimum the issues we have identified along with those identified by the lead agency.

DOS More Information_ Reviewed by • ‘C.----'" Title : Fire Marshal Date : ober 8, 1984 FORM: ERC-06 SPECIAL PERMIT FOR GRADING & FILLING Supplemental Information The following information, regarding the design and development of new con- struction at Renton Vocational Technical School , is provided to supplement the application already submitted for a conditional use application. A rough cut and fill estimate has been calculated based on the grading plan already submitted to the City of Renton. The estimate shows approximately 50,000 cubic yards of cut and approximately 50,000 cubic yards of fill . Therefore an on-site balance of cut and fill is anticipated. Some material will be removed from the site (up to 10,000 cubic yards) in the process of clearing and preparing for earthwork. Additional material will be hauled onto the site during construction (up to 15,000 cubic yards) in the form of road bed material and topsoil . All material will be transported on and off site via Monroe Ave. N.E. in order to minimize the impact on the adja- cent residential neighborhood. It is anticipated that the majority of grading and filling for the entire affected site (about 14. acres) will be done at one time. Minor adjustments will be made as necessary as each area is developed. Therefore major earth- work is expected in the next 6 - 9 months and minor earthwork will continue over the next 2 - 3 years. All grading and filling operations will be done during daylight hours and in a timely fashion. Dust control will be effected by using water trucks as soil conditions require to meet EPA standards. Site security will be handled by enclosing with barriers all areas of potential hazard such as equipment, excavations, steep slopes or unstable soil conditions. All areas to be vegetated will receive an initial treatment, such as hydroseeding, soon after earthwork is complete, to control soil erosion. Water runoff from these and other areas will be retained on site during and after con- struction by using straw bales, berms or retention basins as necessary.

The Act also requires that an EIS be prepared for all major actions significantly affecting the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to help the agencies involved determine whether or not a proposal is such a major action. Please answer the following questions as completely as you can with the information presently available to you. Where explanations of your answers are required, or where you believe an explanation would be helpful to government decision makers , include your explanation in the space provided, or use additional pages if necessary. You should include references to any reports or studies of which you are aware and which are rele- vant to the answers you provide. Complete answers to these questions now will help all agencies involved with your proposal to undertake the required environmental review with- out unnecessary delay. The following questions apply to your total proposal , not just to the license for which , you are currently applying or the proposal for which approval is sought. Your answers should include the impacts which will be caused by your proposal when it is completed, even though completion may not occur until sometime in the future. This will allow all of the agencies which will be involved to complete their environmental review now, with- out duplicating paperwork in the future. NOTE : This is a standard form being used by all state and local agencies in the State of Washington for various types of proposals. Many of the questions may not apply to your proposal . If a question does not apply, just answer it "no" and continue on to the next question. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM I. BACKGROUND 1. Name of Proponent Renton School District No. 403 2.

Location of Proposal The site is underlain by sands and gravels with an active gravel excavation pit located just South of the site across 3rd Avenue. Surface water recharge of this underlying sand and gravel foundation is considered to be of local importance. The topography consists of 50 feet of elevation change across the site with slopes varying from 10-25% in certain places with large areas of 5% slope. Existing vegetation is predominantly shrubs and grasses with an occasional evergreen tree (planted) or decidious tree (volun- teer) . Adjacent land uses consist of primarily single family residences to the West, North and East. To the South and Southeast the land use is business and light industrial . A power line easement cuts through the site from North to South along the East property line. The site is located one (1 ) mile East of I-405 and connected by 3rd Street which becomes 4th Street along the South edge of the site. This is a major arterial of (4) four lanes with some additional development of turning lanes and signalization expected in the next 2-3 years. Monroe street which borders' the East edge of the site will provide the major entrance access to the campus. This street will be improved by the City of Renton in connection with the School District. -3- • (2) Air. Will the proposal result in: (a) Air emissions or deterioration of ambient air quality?

CA11,441*P"1 743 (name, printed) • City of Renton • Building i Zoning Department May, 1983 Form a 176 ,gyp o CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION WRITTEN DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION INTRODUCTION The Renton School District No. 403 operates the Renton Vocational Technical Institute as a public service to the people of the Greater Seattle Metropolitan Area. With a central campus of twenty-seven acres and over eighty satellite facilities through- out the Seattle area, Renton Vocational Technical Institute pro- vides a direct educational service designed to meet the needs of both the students and the businesses that will employ them. The following comments are intended to respond directly to the criteria for evaluating conditional use permits as outlined in the zoning ordinance. 1 . COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Educational facilities are allowed in residential zones as conditional uses . The City of Renton' s comprehensive plan designates the proposed site as a public use area within a residential zone. 2 . COMMUNITY NEED: A recent evaluation of existing programs at R.V.T. I. (called the "Facility Planning Study") was completed in March 1984 . This study identifies the programs in need of expansion and the spaces required to meet the larger educational needs of the community. The central campus of R.V.T. I . currently contains seven (7) existing instructional buildings with a total area of approxi- mately 120 , 000 S .F.. With the exception of one, these buildings occupy the South part of the campus . The proposed new con- struction calls for four (4) new buildings together with _r 2 . modernization and additions to two (2) of the existing buildings . Total new space under this program will be approximately 215 ,000 S.F. Major programs to be housed include Automotive Technology, Construction Technology, Electronics, Commercial Foods , Student Services and Health Services. With this expansion, the facilities of the central campus will be able to accommodate an increase of daily students from 1500 to 3000 , and substantially improve the educational service. a) By locating the proposed expansion on the central campus , the scale of the programs to be housed can be adequately enclosed and therefore be in harmony with the scale of the neighborhood. b) The proposed location is well suited for the proposed expansion because of its size, excellent access, and the fact that the site is less than 50% utilized. 3 . EFFECT ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES : Some concern has been expressed by residents adjacent to the site regarding the impact of additional students, traffic and parking on residential streets. There is a long standing "Gentleman' s" agreement between the school district and the ' residents which precludes access to the site along Kirkland and Jefferson Avenues . Further, it is the intention of the school district to install an architectural screen along Kirkland and Jefferson Avenues which will restrict pedestrian access from the West , limit the tendency of students to park there, hopefully, this will encourage the use of on-campus parking. a) Lot coverage will not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the lot coverage of the residential zone. .r 3 . b. Yards will conform to the requirements of the residential zone. Additions to structures will not be located in any required yard. c. Height : The proposed expansion will require an exception to the 35 ' height limitation. Because of the nature of the programs involved the maximum height of buildings is . projected at 53 ' . 4 . COMPATIBILITY: The question of compatibility of scale is important given the predominantly residential character of the neighborhood. This will be addressed in the design process. Every considera- tion will be given to the use of stepped back buildings , modu- lation of forms , and landscape buffering in order to harmonize with the residential scale of the surrounding neighborhood. 5. PARKING: Renton City Code requires 830 parking spaces : One (1) for each five (5) students (660 spaces for 3300 students) and one (1) for each employee (170) . In addition, 50 parking spaces will be for visitors . Multilevel parking and parking below buildings is being considered for future structures . No parking will be located in front , side or rear yard areas . 6 . TRAFFIC The impact of traffic circulation and pedestrian access has been considered. Main entrances will be located along Monroe Avenue. Internal campus circulation and service delivery access will be located adjacent to parking areas . Separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic will be accomplished via a central park/mall spine connecting the various buildings . 4 . Traffic circulation to and from the surrounding areas will be handled by widening Monroe Avenue which feeds directly into Northeast Fourth Street , a major arterial , Northeast Fourth connects with Interstate 405 one mile to the West and provides access to and from the entire region. A sizeable number of students is expected to arrive at the site by public transportation. Bus stops are being planned in cooperation with Metro as follows : Four (4) along Monroe Avenue ; Two (2) along Northeast Seventh Street ; and one (1) along North- east Fourth Street. 7 . NOISE AND GLARE: All noise producing activities will be shielded -from residential areas by buildings, earth berms and landscaping. Light and glare from automobiles will be concentrated along the circulation route adjacent to parking areas . - Buildings ' design will utilize natural materials which are. not glare producing and colors to compliment the neighborhood :scale. ' 8. LANDSCAPING: Landscaping will be provided in all areas .not occupied by buildings or paving. 9 . ACCESSORY USES: It is understood that uses accessory to conditional uses will be considered to be separate uses subject to the provisions of the residential use zone. 10. CONVERSION: No existing building or structure will be converted to a condi- tional use unless such building or structure complies , or is 5. brought into compliance, with the provisions of this chapter. 11. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS : Any and all public improvements necessary for the development of this project are being handled in cooperation with the City of Renton and other agencies concerned. No undue burden will be placed on existing or planned facilities, utilities and services. The widening of Monroe Avenue will be a cooperative project be- tween the school district and the City of Renton. It is the intent of the Renton School District to provide bus shelters and pull off lanes in cooperation with Metro.

He has substantial experience in the preparation of master plans for commercial, industrial and residential projects. His recent site planning experience includes prep- aration of master plans for an 800-acre airdustrial center; a 50-acre waterfront office, industrial, and retail mixed-use complex; a 360-acre residential planned-unit development; and a 64-acre commercial planned-unit development. He designed visual entrance improvements and performed detailed site plan- ning at the airdustrial center and for an update of the campus plan at Western Washington University.' The plan for redevelopment of a 50-acre urban waterfront site is unique in its creation of an office, industrial, and retail complex adjacent to an existing concrete batch plant. Land- scaping was proposed to buffer the batch plant from office and other uses proposed along the shoreline. The master plan for the 800-acre airport-oriented industrial and commercial center included detailed site development standards- and site planning for the future terminal, as well as revision of the overall land use plan. In- addition to the overall master plan for the 64-acre resi- dential and commercial planned-unit development, Mr. Stixrood supervised the preparation of ' a major graphic display used to introduce the project to the media and to the public. He was also responsible for preparation of an environmental impact statement that presented impacts by development phase and helped resolve shoreline design and fisheries management objectives. Mr. Stixrood was involved in preparation of a land-use feasi- bility study for a 160-acre site on the Everett, Washington, waterfront. His work primarily included the development of land use proposals to meet the environmental , regulatory, and economic constraints of the site.

The Final is an estimate - as no set fee can be determined due to the range of responses that may occur on the DEIS. The estimate includes time and materials. Billings for amounts in excess of the above will not be made RWT/A without written authorization of work by the client to respond to unanticipated changes or requirements, which based on our understanding, appears unlikely. Printing will be provided by Olympic Blueprint or other competitive bid printers with normal turnaround being 3 days. From our experience, this type of report can run $600 - $1500 for printing of both the DEIS and FEIS. Printing and distribution costs will be independent of the contract amount above. We will, however, do all coordination of the printing as part of our fees and can receive a 15% discount due to volume printing and payment on delivery. i f IV.
