SUBJECT: Utility and Transportation Comments for Boeing New 4-87
Mitigation Hangar
737 Logan Ave N
LUA 18-000293
I have reviewed the application for the Boeing New 4-87 Mitigation Hangar at 737 Logan Ave N (APN(‘s) 0723059001) and
have the following comments:
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project site is located at the northern extent of the existing Boeing Reproduction Plant, directly adjacent to the
northwest corner of Building 4-81 and just south of Apron R. Aircraft staging stalls are located on the western end of the
project. A two-way vehicular drive aisle and pedestrian path separates the area uses and includes a dedicated fire access
lane. There is an existing employee parking area located at the southern end of the project site. Stormwater r unoff from
the existing site is collected in a series of private catch basins and conveyance pipes and routed through a combined
oil/water separator and water quality vault prior to discharge into the existing outfalls within Lake Washington. The
existing vault is located within the proposed building footprint.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
WATER
1. The applicant has not proposed the addition, removal or replacement of any public water utility lines or
appurtenances. However, there are numerous utilities owned by Boeing, including water lines for domestic and
fire protection within the proposed redevelopment area. The Civil plans should clearly identify the impacted
private water lines and hydrants and their proposed relocations.
2. Relocation of the fire line will require separate fire permits.
SEWER
1. The applicant has not proposed the addition, removal or replacement of any public sewer utility lines or
appurtenances. Civil plans and permit will be required if the project results in the installation of a new, replaced,
or relocated wastewater main. If floor drains are required by the building department, drains are required to be
connected to the sanitary sewer system. Flows shall be directed through the floor drains that are installed in
accordance with the Uniform Plumbing Code to an interior or exterior oil/water separator.
SURFACE WATER
ADVISORY NOTES TO APPLICANT
Page 4 of 5 LUA18-000293
1. A geotechnical report, dated April 23, 2018, completed by Soil & Environmental Engineers, Inc. (S&EE) for the site
has been provided. The submitted report describes the site is a Low Erosion Hazard area. Erosion control
measures will need to be in place prior to starting grading activities on the site. Geotechnical recommendations
presented need to be address within the project plans.
2. A Preliminary Drainage Plan and Technical Information Report (TIR), dated April 26, 2018, was submitted by
BergerABAM with the Land Use Application. Based on the City of Renton’s flow control map, the site falls within
the Peak Rate Flow Control Standard area matching Existing Site Conditions and is within the Lake Washington
and Cedar River Drainage Basin. The development is subject to Full Drainage Review in accordance with the 2017
Renton Surface Water Design Manual (RSWDM). All nine core requirements and the six special requirements
have been discussed in the Technical Information Report.
3. Direct Discharge Exception - The project site is located within the Lake Washington and Cedar River drainage basin
and the flowpath from the project site discharge point is less than a half mile to the 100-year floodplain of Lake
Washington and qualifies for the direct discharge exemption in accordance with Section 1.2.3.1 of the 2017
RSWDM and must adhere to all requirements thereof.
4. The project is classified as a redevelopment project in accordance with the definition of redevelopment project
provided in the RSWDM. As a redevelopment project, the project is exempt from Core Requirement #8 – Water
Quality as it meets the exemption criteria outlined in Section 1.2.8 of the RSWDM - #3 Cost Exemption for Parcel
Redevelopment Projects. However, the applicant has elected to provide enhanced water quality treatment prior
to discharge in order to provide a benefit to Lake Washington and its aquatic habitat. Project water quality
treatment will consist of conveyance to oil/water separator vaults, which will direct surface water to several Linear
Modular Wetland systems prior to discharge to the outfalls in Lake Washington.
5. The proposed oil/water separator and water quality systems shall be designed in accordance with the RSWDM
that is current at the time of civil construction permit application. Separate structural plans will be required to be
submitted for review and approval under a separate building permit for the detention and/or water quality vault.
Special inspection from the building department is required.
6. All conveyance systems and outfalls impacted and/or created by the redevelopment project shall be analyzed in
accordance with the RSWDM.
7. Appropriate on-site BMPs will be required to help mitigate the new runoff created by this development. The final
drainage plan and drainage report, addressing the implementation of on-site BMPs must be submitted with the
civil construction permit application. The applicant will need to re-evaluate the feasibility of utilizing basic
dispersion for the target impervious surface areas that may be able to disperse into any added or existing
landscaping areas.
8. A Construction Stormwater General Permit from Department of Ecology will be required if grading and clearing of
the site exceeds one acre. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required for this site.
9. Surface water system development fee is $0.687 per square foot of new impervious surface, but not less than
$1,718.00. This is payable prior to issuance of the construction permit.
10. The applicant shall provide a resolution to the ponding of water on top of the pavement to the west of the project
site as a maintenance activity prior to or as part of the civil construction permit approval for the Boeing Mitigation
Hangar Project.
TRANSPORTATION
1. The proposed redevelopment does not front any public right-of-way.
2. On-site improvements include restriping of the parking lot area to provide accessible parking stalls and restriping
of the existing pavement surfaces to redirect traffic flow, including a designated fire lane. All fire lanes shall be
designed and constructed per Renton Fire Authority standards with all required signage installed.
3. If removal and/or grading of the parking lot or drive aisles is required or proposed, the replaced impervious
surfaces may trigger water quality mitigation and will need to be reviewed and addressed as part of the final
drainage report.
GENERAL COMMENTS
1. Maximum exposed retaining wall height is outlined in RMC 4-4-040 – Fences, Hedges and Retaining Walls.
ADVISORY NOTES TO APPLICANT

Phone: 425-430-7200 | www.rentonwa.gov
PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether
the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to
determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address
the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to
further analyze the proposal.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic
information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the
best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant
for some questions. You may use “not applicable” or "does not apply" only when you can explain
why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate
by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often
avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a
period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help
describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this
checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably
related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEAD AGENCIES: Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the
existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts.
