No Yes Submit a Comment Comment Letters were mailed sometime in the past week to a few of the residents of the HOA, but none to the board members (who live in the community) or the HOA which governs over lot 40. I'm not sure the rationale as to why there has been no communication with us with a sale pending knowing that we're the enforcers of the HOA dues, rules, standards, fines, etc. which this parcel is apart of. There are some major concerns already being voiced about Valvoline potentially opening up an oil change/repair facility in this area. For one, it's not economically necessary; there are 13 oil change facilities within a 1-mile radius of the lot (another Valvoline, Jiffy Lube, Firestone, Goodyear, Bucky's, Auto Pro, Van's, Greg's Auto, The Garage, Performance Automotive, Les Schwab, and Discount Tire). And there are 6 located within just 0.5 miles. Secondly, there is a great deal of property crime, loitering, littering on the property already and a business such as this where there will undoubtably be vehicles left unattended will welcome even more of it. This type of business also brings noise concerns from the constant use of air tools which will be disruptive to residents living just feet away and working remotely at their jobs. My home is ~600-700 feet away from a similar business, Les Schwab, and air tools can be heard vividly from that distance. The proposed location of Valvoline to home structures is literally less than 100 feet away. This will be extremely disruptive to individuals working from home. Because this property is located and over the supervision of the HOA, fines for noise will almost certainly be levied constantly and the property owner should be made aware this could amount to legal action as well as thousands of dollars in fines. There is already an inadequate amount of parking space within the community and per the notice, having just 8 stalls planned is not even remotely close to what is needed to operate a business. Valvoline states that up to 88 employees can be on site at any time meaning there would be zero parking available for visitors or customers. The potential owner(s) should be made aware that any non-resident parking on private property (which is everything except for the Post Office parking lot) will be towed with no notice given, at the expense of the. This is something we strictly enforce and the Renton Police Department is aware of it. Ultimately, I (and many others) are concerned that you all have not been communicative whatsoever with the board or residents of Parc @ Whitman Court on a pending sale. The residents that own properties bordering this vacant lot need to be considered as it has a significant impact on them. Lastly, since the HOA and board have heard exactly nothing from the potential buyer, they have not reviewed the parcels CC&R documents and I assume have not evaluated or considered the dues, rules, standards, voting rights, causation for fines, etc. associated with building and running a business here.
