PROJECT NARRATIVE
May 16, 2018
Planning Division
City of Renton
1055 South Grady Way
Renton, WA 98057
Project Name:
601 Monster Road SW Building and Site Redevelopment
Land Use Permits Required:
SEPA, demolition permit, NPDES, SWPPP
Zoning Designation:
Industrial Medium (IM), adjacent properties are like zoning and use. Property to the east,
opposite side of right-of-way is Industrial Heavy.
Current Use of Site and Existing Improvements:
The site is a 9.61 acre industrial parcel (242304-9008) located at 601 Monster Road SW.
The existing concrete tilt-up warehouse building was most recently used by Graphic
Packaging and has a 143,862 SF footprint with a small portion of this being a single story
office. To the south of the main building is a small shop facility building. The developed
portions of the site are generally flat and allowed for the maneuverability of large semi-
trucks. There is a portion of the site used for vehicle parking near the southeast corner of
the building that is slightly elevated. Beyond the southern development limits of the site
the grades climb upwards toward the adjacent parcel.
The existing stormwater collection system collects stormwater around the site and
discharges it off this site at three locations. The existing north parking area directs flows
directly to Monster Road SW with no on-site collection facility. There is one catch basin
at the northeast corner of the site that picks up a small amount of flow and directs it to the
existing conveyance system along Monster Road SW on the east side of the site. The rest
of the impervious surfaces, parking, driveways and the roof area are collected in a
conveyance system that first flows south then west along the south side of the site and on
to an existing off-site conveyance system. This system along with the other two noted
above are directed to an existing stormwater “Regional Detention Facility Pump Station”
system created in 1995 about 200 feet west of this site.
The existing building is connected to the City of Renton’s sanitary sewer system at the
northeast corner of the building. There is an existing 8” and 3” service lines that drains to
an existing sanitary sewer manhole at this location. The 8” sewer line continues north to
the main trunk line which runs west to east along Monster Road SW. This line continues
to the regional sanitary sewer plant just east of this site.

There is an existing domestic water service and fire lines to this building are along the
north side of the building and come from the City of Renton’s water mains that run along
Monster Road SW.
Special Site Features:
A majority of the site is relatively flat but sits lower than the adjacent south parcel and
right-of-way to the east. Adjacent property grades fall onto the project site from slight
slopes to as great as 40%. No development is proposed within these steep slope areas.
Statement addressing Soil Type and Drainage Conditions:
Test pit data has been provided as part of the soils investigation developed by Terra
Associates Inc. It identifies site soils for most of the site as fill material, averaging about
5 feet deep; underlain by soft to dense interbedded alluvial soils.
Proposed Use of the Property and Scope of the Proposed Development:
The immediate proposed effort is demolition of the existing 143,862 SF concrete building
and the detached 2,900 SF shop building. Demolition efforts include capping of existing
utilities, Future redevelopment of the site is currently under land-use review.
For Plats Indicate the Proposed Number, Density and Range of Sizes of New Lots:
Not Applicable.
Access:
Existing-The site is currently served by four points of access. One drive serves the
existing east parking and truck service areas at Monster Road accessed by SW. A second
drive (of two driveways) serves the north parking area at the existing office area. The last
point of access is from a private drive along the west face of the building which connects
to a south drive lane along the existing building.
Proposed- The demolition efforts will utilize the existing driveways.
Proposed Off-site Improvements:
None, this proposal for building demolition effort only.
Total Estimated Construction Cost and Estimate Fair Market Value:
Estimated project costs are currently approximated to be $373,750 limited to demolition
efforts only.
Estimated Quantities and Type of Materials Involved if any Fill or Excavation is Proposed:
None
Number, Type and Size of any Trees to be Removed:
None
Explanation of any Land to be Dedicated to the City:
None
Any Proposed Job Shacks, Sales Trailers and/or Model Homes:
The general contractor for the project may establish a temporary work trailer office.
Any Proposed Modifications Being Requested:
None
