There is no grant match required for the acceptance of these funds. Authorization is requested for additional budget appropriations for the Planning Division in the amount of $1,000,000 offset by additional grant revenues of the same amount and will be included in the Q2 budget adjustment. Connecting Housing to Infrastructure Program (CHIP) The Connecting Housing to Infrastructure Program (CHIP) was created in 2021 to fund utility connections to affordable housing. The program helps local governments encourage the creation of affordable housing by reducing or covering the cost of infrastructure associated with development. CHIP connects affordable housing projects to utility systems, and can reimburse: Water and sewer line upsizing to serve increased density. Water and sewer line extensions to serve new infill development. Water, sewer and stormwater connections for affordable housing development. Water, sewer and stormwater connections for market rate housing when a minimum of 25% of the units are set-aside as affordable to low or moderate-income households. Regional stormwater systems or upgrades necessary to support housing development. System development charges waived for affordable housing. The City of Renton has previously received Connecting Housing to Infrastructure Program (CHIP) grant funding from the Washington State Department of Commerce to support affordable housing projects. The Community and Economic Development (CED) Department, Planning Division submits City Council Regular Meeting FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY: SUMMARY OF ACTION 18 of 580 CHIP grant applications on behalf of developers and administers the awarded funds. In 2022, the City was awarded $1,768,137 in CHIP funding to support infrastructure improvements necessary for the development of Sunset Gardens, a 76-unit affordable housing project. The project was completed in April 2024 and provides housing for veterans, individuals with disabilities, and seniors. That same year, the Watershed Apartments project was awarded $316,020 in CHIP funding. The funding helped offset infrastructure costs required to connect the 145-unit affordable housing development to City utility systems, consistent with the State’s affordable housing support objectives. In January 2026, the Connecting Housing to Infrastructure Program (CHIP), administered by the Washington State Department of Commerce, announced $54.5 million in grant awards to support water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure projects across 22 counties in Washington State. The City applied for 2026 CHIP funding on behalf of the Homestead Community Land Trust for the Willowcrest Phase II Project and was awarded $1,000,000, compared to the original request of $1,036,306.69. Homestead serves families and individuals with household incomes at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). Staff recommends that the City Council accept the Department of Commerce (DOC) grant and, upon approval of the grant agreement, authorize the City to enter into an agreement with Homestead Community Land Trust (Homestead) for the Willowcrest Phase II Project in the amount of $1,000,000. A separate agenda bill will be submitted for Council consideration and approval of the agreement with Homestead. The Willowcrest Phase II Project The Willowcrest Phase II site consists of approximately 40,097 square feet and is zoned CV – Center Village. The project includes five buildings containing a total of 19 townhomes, offered in two- and three-bedroom configurations, located at 1132 Edmonds Avenue NE, Renton. Each townhome includes an individual single-car garage. The total built square footage of the new structures is approximately 31,520 square feet. This phase represents a continuation of the 12 townhomes completed in 2021 as part of the first phase of the Willowcrest development. All 19 townhomes in Phase II will be permanently affordable. The second phase is intended to build upon the community amenities established during Phase 1 and complete the full buildout of the Willowcrest development, which will ultimately include 31 homes on previously vacant, undeveloped land. Planned amenities include a community P-Patch garden and completion of a pedestrian connection from Edmonds Avenue to Glenwood, providing a new and safer route between the Edmonds and Sunset transit corridors and nearby community destinations, including the community center, library, and park. The project has received multiple funding awards from various sources, including $900,000 in HB 1590 funds and $100,000 in housing opportunity funds from the city. The CHIP funding assists the project’s subsidy funding stack by supporting eligible water, sewer, and stormwater utility improvements and connections, as well as providing reimbursement to the city for Homestead’s forthcoming request to waive system development charges. 19 of 580 The utility improvement work will be completed in the first phase of the project construction that is anticipated to begin in 2026. Staff recommends City Council approving the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the CHIP grant agreement with the Department of Commerce and upon approval of grant agreement to enter into an agreement with Homestead Community Land Trust (Homestead) for the Willowcrest Phase II Project, in the amount of $1,000,000. CHIP funding will support critical infrastructure improvements necessary to serve the Willowcrest Phase II project, helping remove cost barriers that could otherwise delay or limit development. Staff further recommends City Council approving the budget adjustment of $1,000,000.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY: 23 of 580 Connecting Housing to Infrastructure Program (CHIP) The Connecting Housing to Infrastructure Program (CHIP) was created in 2021 to fund utility connections to affordable housing. The program helps local governments encourage the creation of affordable housing by reducing or covering the cost of infrastructure associated with development. CHIP connects affordable housing projects to utility systems, and can reimburse: Water and sewer line upsizing to serve increased density. Water and sewer line extensions to serve new infill development. Water, sewer and stormwater connections for affordable housing development. Water, sewer and stormwater connections for market rate housing when a minimum of 25% of the units are set-aside as affordable to low or moderate-income households. Regional stormwater systems or upgrades necessary to support housing development. System development charges waived for affordable housing. The City of Renton has previously received Connecting Housing to Infrastructure Program (CHIP) grant funding from the Washington State Department of Commerce to support affordable housing projects. The Community and Economic Development (CED) Department, Planning Division submits CHIP grant applications on behalf of developers and administers the awarded funds. In 2022, the City was awarded $1,768,137 in CHIP funding to support infrastructure improvements necessary for the development of Sunset Gardens, a 76-unit affordable housing project. The project was completed in April 2024 and provides housing for veterans, individuals with disabilities, and seniors. That same year, the Watershed Apartments project was awarded $316,020 in CHIP funding. The funding helped offset infrastructure costs required to connect the 145-unit affordable housing development to City utility systems, consistent with the State’s affordable housing support objectives. In January 2026, the Connecting Housing to Infrastructure Program (CHIP), administered by the Washington State Department of Commerce, announced $54.5 million in grant awards to support water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure projects across 22 counties in Washington State. The City applied for 2026 CHIP funding on behalf of the Homestead Community Land Trust for the Willowcrest Phase II Project and was awarded $1,000,000, compared to the original request of $1,036,306.69. Homestead serves families and individuals with household incomes at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). Staff recommends that the City Council accept the Department of Commerce (DOC) grant and, upon approval of the grant agreement, authorize the City to enter into an agreement with Homestead Community Land Trust (Homestead) for the Willowcrest Phase II Project 24 of 580 in the amount of $1,000,000. A separate agenda bill will be submitted for Council consideration and approval of the agreement with Homestead. The Willowcrest Phase II Project The Willowcrest Phase II site consists of approximately 40,097 square feet and is zoned CV – Center Village. The project includes five buildings containing a total of 19 townhomes, offered in two- and three-bedroom configurations, located at 1132 Edmonds Avenue NE, Renton. Each townhome includes an individual single-car garage. The total built square footage of the new structures is approximately 31,520 square feet. This phase represents a continuation of the 12 townhomes completed in 2021 as part of the first phase of the Willowcrest development. All 19 townhomes in Phase II will be permanently affordable. The second phase is intended to build upon the community amenities established during Phase 1 and complete the full buildout of the Willowcrest development, which will ultimately include 31 homes on previously vacant, undeveloped land.

The utility improvement work will be completed in the first phase of the project construction that is anticipated to begin in 2026. FISCAL IMPACT The Community and Economic Development Department was awarded funding from the WA State Dept of Commerce for the Growth Management Services, Connecting Housing to Infrastructure Program (CHIP) grant in the amount of $1,000,000. There is no grant match required for the acceptance of these funds. Authorization is requested for additional budget appropriations for the Planning Division in the amount of $1,000,000 offset by additional grant revenues of the same amount and will be included in the Q2 budget adjustment. CONCLUSION Staff recommends City Council approving the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the CHIP grant agreement with the Department of Commerce and upon approval of grant 25 of 580 agreement to enter into an agreement with Homestead Community Land Trust (Homestead) for the Willowcrest Phase II Project, in the amount of $1,000,000. CHIP funding will support critical infrastructure improvements necessary to serve the Willowcrest Phase II project, helping remove cost barriers that could otherwise delay or limit development. Staff further recommends City Council approving the budget adjustment of $1,000,000. 26 of 580 27 of 580 28 of 580 Capital Agreement with City of Renton through Connecting Housing to Infrastructure Program (CHIP) Contract Number: 26-96330-101 For To support the development of affordable housing by paying for utility infrastructure improvements for the Willowcrest Phase 2 project AND by reimbursing the City of Renton for waived system development charges of affordable housing units for the project.

For the purposes of this contract, the utility project must serve new affordable housing projects that serve and benefit low-income households for at least 25 years. “Affordable housing" has the same meaning as in RCW 43.185A.010, and means residential housing for rental occupancy which, as long as the same is occupied by low-income households, requires payment of monthly housing costs, including utilities other than telephone, of no more than thirty percent of the family's income. In the context of homeownership, the definition from the Housing Trust Fund Handbook applies (Section 701.7): “affordability occurs when a household’s monthly housing costs are generally no more than 38 percent of monthly household income and total debt is no more than 45 percent of monthly household income. Housing costs include mortgage principal, interest, property taxes, homeowner insurance, homeowner association fees, and land lease fees, as applicable. Total debt includes other debt and utilities.” 1 "Low-income household" has the same definition as in RCW 43.185.010(6), and means a single person, family or unrelated persons living together whose adjusted income is less than eighty percent of the median family income, adjusted for household size, for the county where the project is located.

The petition filed by the Renton Regional Fire Authority was verified as sufficient by the Community and Economic Development Department and a Public Hearing was held on December 1, 2025, whereby Council authorized the petition to move forward subject to the submittal of an appraisal of the vacation area. The appraisal was submitted February 25, 2026. The next steps are to review the appraisal and staff recommendation and determine how much compensation should be set. The appraisal came in at $88,000; however, staff is recommending compensation be set at $0, based on the value, right-of-way being dedicated to the City at no cost along SE 128th St, and other considerations within the project being constructed by a governmental agency. Accept the appraisal and set compensation for the Renton Regional Fire Authority Street Vacation Petition at $0 City Council Regular Meeting FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY: SUMMARY OF ACTION STAFF RECOMMENDATION 54 of 580 DATE: April 13, 2026 TO:Carmen Rivera, Committee Chair Members of Transportation/Aviation Committee VIA: Armondo Pavone, Mayor FROM: Gina Estep, CED Administrator STAFF CONTACT: Stephanie Rary, Property Services Specialist SUBJECT: Set Compensation for Renton Regional Fire Authority Unopened Right-of-Way Vacation (VAC-25-001) ISSUE: What value should Council wish to set compensation on the unopened right-of-way vacation within the Renton Regional Fire Authority fire station and maintenance building project? RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council set compensation for the proposed street vacation at $0 based on the right-of-way dedicated to the City at no cost and the overall new fire station and maintenance building project constructed by a government agency. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: As part of the approved new fire station and maintenance building project, a segment of unopened right-of-way east of 158th Ave SE and south of NE 128th St, bisecting King County Parcel No. 3664500008 and between Parcel Nos. 3664500330 and 3664500007 was identified to be vacated. The segment was originally dedicated to King County by the plat of Janett’s Renton Boulevard Tracts in 1909. The unopened right-of-way to be vacated is located in an area annexed to the City in 2021. As the unopened right-of-way bisects a project parcel and is located between two other project parcels, the Renton Regional Fire Authority filed a street vacation petition to Council with the intended desired outcome that the project parcels be combined into one parcel. As part of the project, the Renton Regional Fire Authority dedicated 227 square feet along SE 128th St to the City at no cost. The Public Hearing was held on December 1, 2025. During the review period, the street vacation was sent to internal and external reviewers with no comments received on the 55 of 580 Page 2 of 2 April 13, 2026 vacation. There were no public comments at the Public Hearing, and the City did not receive any comments in writing. The Council approved the street vacation with the condition that Petitioner provide an appraisal of the vacation area. Petitioner has obtained an appraisal, which amount was $88,000. State law allows Council to set compensation for the vacation at zero, half the appraised cost, or the full appraised cost if the right-of-way has been a dedicated public right-of-way for 25 years or more, or if the subject property or portions thereof were acquired at public expense. As the City annexed the area in 2021, the unopened right-of-way has only been City right-of-way for five years and was originally acquired by the County at no cost by plat dedication. Based on the appraisal value, the right-of-way dedication along SE 128th St, and other considerations within the project being constructed by a governmental agency, staff is recommending compensation be set at $0. The filing fee was charged pursuant to the appraised amount of $88,000 to help offset staff time and recording fees associated with the Ordinance and finalizing the street vacation. The Petitioner has paid the filing fee. CONCLUSION: Set the street vacation compensation at $0 and pass the Ordinance vacating the unopened right-of-way. 56 of 580 Appraisal of Vacation of Right of Way Located East of 158th Ave SE and South of SE 128th St Real Property: Vacant Land Date of Appraisal February 15, 2026 – Market Value Prepared for Mr. Ryan Simonds Renton Regional Fire Authority Appraised by Eric McKee, MAI Amy Bradley Josette Pratt File 46002 57 of 580 February 25, 2026 Transmittal Mr. Ryan Simonds Deputy Chief Renton Regional Fire Authority 18002 108th Ave SE Renton, WA 98055 Property Name Location McKee File Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 ROW Located East of 158th Ave SE and South of SE 128th St Renton, WA 98059 46002 Dear Mr. Simonds: At your request, we have prepared an appraisal of the market value of the real property referenced above.

(File 46002, February 25, 2026) Summary of Important Conclusions Name of Subject Property Vacation of Right of Way Located East of 158th Ave SE and South of SE 128th St Address Portions of ROW between 158th Ave SE and 160th Ave SE Renton, WA 98057 Property Description Residential Land Detailed Description Land area: 3,648 sf • Vacant Land • Rectangular • 16’ x 228’ • Zoned R-4 - Renton Valuation Premise This appraisal estimates the “Fair Market Value” or the “amount in cash that a well-informed buyer, willing but not obligated to buy the property, would pay, and that a well-informed seller, willing but not obligated to sell it, would accept, taking into consideration all uses to which the property is adapted or may be reasonably adaptable.” Property Interest Appraised Fee Simple Estate Valuation Methodology The appraisal uses “across the fence” (ATF) methodology, assuming zoning consistent with the adjacent property zoning, and using the unit value of similar land as the valuation basis, without regard to size or shape. This is the methodology historically applied in determining compensation for vacated rights of way, and is balanced for this purpose, neither diminishing the value for the specific characteristics (such as limited size and accessibility), nor escalating the value for the potential enhancement to the petitioner’s surrounding property. 61 of 580 Appraisal of Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 Page | 6 Renton, WA Summary of Important Conclusions McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc. (File 46002, February 25, 2026) Valuation Approaches The market value is estimated by using the single relevant approach to value: • the “Sale Comparison Approach,” using an analysis of the sale prices of other land properties with similar location and zoning. The “Income Approach” and “Cost Approach” are not relevant for a street property and are not applied. Value Conclusions Description Date of Value Value Market Value February 15, 2026 $88,000 Comments The subject of this appraisal is an alley right of way bisecting an existing parcel. The subject is flat and without improvements. In the last 3 months Renton Regional Fire Authority has started sitework on the surrounding parcel and will ultimately construct Station 16. This new structure will replace the aging Station 16 a few blocks away and include both a new fire station and maintenance shop to support the organization. The 2022 and 2023 purchases of the parcels included in this new development serve as benchmarks in our estimation of the value of the subject, supported by timelier, similarly zoned land sales that provide the primary basis of the valuation. 62 of 580 Appraisal of Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 Page | 7 Renton, WA Aerial Photograph McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc.

(File 46002, February 25, 2026) Appraisal Description Identity of Property • The legal description of the property is as follows: • The property does not have a tax ID number. It directly bisects King County Assessor Parcel No. 3664500008. Title Report: Easements and Encumbrances We have not been provided with a title report for the subject property, so we have no verified specific title understanding. We assume the subject is clear of any financial encumbrances such as mortgages and liens. Non-financial encumbrances may include easements, encroachments, restrictive covenants or leases. Other than as identified in this report, we assume that there are no easements or other title issues which would impact the value or other important conclusions of this appraisal. Purpose of Appraisal The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the Market Value of the subject property. The following definition of Market Value is found under Advisory Opinion 22 (AO-22) in The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, 2024 Edition, Page 60: Market value means the most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition are the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: (1) Buyer and seller are typically motivated; (2) Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interests; (3) A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; 65 of 580 Appraisal of Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 Page | 10 Renton, WA Appraisal Description McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc. (File 46002, February 25, 2026) (4) Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and (5) The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale. This definition is consistent with the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 12, Part 34, Subpart C, 34.42(g), August 24, 1990, and updated January 1, 2000. This definition is also consistent with the FIRREA 2010 Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines. Ownership of Property The current owner of the property is the City of Renton. The owner has continuously owned and operated the property for many years. Client, Intended Users, and Intended Use The client is Renton Regional Fire Authority. The intended user is Renton Regional Fire Authority. The intended use is solely for the proposed fee take acquisition of the right of way areas. No other use or user is authorized. Unavailability of Information We have not been provided with various expert information which may be relevant to the valuation such as surveys or environmental reports specific to the subject area. Fee Simple Property Rights Appraised The property rights appraised are a fee simple (absolute) interest in the property, subject only to the existing appurtenant easements of record and to the four powers of government in the United States (taxation, eminent domain, police power and escheat). This appraisal is of the real property only within the legal boundaries defined by the legal description of the larger parcel. Any equipment or other personal property is not appraised. Five-Year Sales History The subject property has not transferred ownership within the five years prior to the effective date of this appraisal. We are not aware of any agreements of sale, options, or listings of the subject property current as of the effective date of the appraisal. Extraordinary Assumptions and Hypothetical Conditions This appraisal is subject to the General Assumptions and Limiting Conditions found at the beginning of this report. In addition, the following extraordinary assumptions and hypothetical conditions may have affected the assignment results. 66 of 580 Appraisal of Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 Page | 11 Renton, WA Appraisal Description McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc. (File 46002, February 25, 2026) A survey or full legal description for this area has not been provided. We have used the King County Assessor map in estimating the subject area. We are not surveyors, and recognize that to obtain an exact square footage of the land area to be vacated, a survey would be required. We therefore assume as an extraordinary assumption that any difference in land area between the estimated area within this report and the acquired area does not differ to a degree where the total value would be significantly impacted. Considering the potential unavailability of information, we assume as an extraordinary assumption that there are no unapparent conditions which affect the value or utility of the property. As an extraordinary assumption or hypothetical condition, we appraise the property as fee simple land and as if unencumbered by agreements, restrictions or easements. Scope of Work The scope of work associated with the appraisal assignment is consistent with the intention to produce appropriate and credible results, considering the requirements and intended use for the client and intended users. The scope of work included: Research of public records, articles, zoning, neighborhood description and trends, and information provided by the client such as title and environmental, and street vacation plans. Sales were researched using CoStar, Commercial MLS, King County Assessor Records, City of Renton public records, and public news articles available to research and analyze the market. The Sale Comparison Approach was used, as there was adequate, relevant sale data in this market for similar sites. As vacant land, the Cost and Income Approaches are not relevant and were not used. Recent transactions of residential and land sales in Renton and adjacent areas with the same or similar zoning as considered for the vacation area were investigated. The comparisons were adjusted for a variety of factors, and a final value was reconciled for the subject property. Ownership of Property The current owner of the property is the City of Renton. The owner has continuously owned and operated the property for many years. History and Current Status The subject property was initially dedicated as an alley. However, a review of aerial imaging revealed that the alley was not utilized in that manner by the neighboring properties. It was utilized and maintained by the neighboring parcels as part of their own properties. Currently, the property bisects a parcel being developed by the local fire authority as a neighborhood fire station. 67 of 580 Appraisal of Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 Page | 12 Renton, WA Appraisal Description McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc. (File 46002, February 25, 2026) 3-Year Sales and Other Transfer History The property has not sold or transferred within the three years prior to the effective date of the appraisal. Current Agreements of Sale, Options and Listings We are not aware of any agreements of sale, options, or listings of the subject property current as of the effective date of the appraisal. Exposure Time and Marketing Time The value conclusions in this report are as of the effective dates of this appraisal and assume that a “reasonable exposure time” has preceded those effective dates; the value conclusions are consistent with expected transaction on the effective date of the appraisal after prior exposure. The “marketing time” is that period which would be expected to be incurred to market the property in the current environment as of the date of the appraisal report, with the marketing to occur subsequently. Thus, the value conclusion is not necessarily the subsequent value that would be anticipated for transaction of the property after future marketing. Reasonable exposure time is measured in the market, as evidenced by current transactions. The subject property is a narrow strip of land zoned R4 Residential by the city of Renton. Land of this nature typically is either purchased by a neighbor or purchased by an investor in some limited instances. Sales of this type are rarely listed on the open market, but when marketed they sell quickly. Considering these factors, we estimate that a reasonable exposure time and marketing time for the subject property is six months.

(File 46002, February 25, 2026) Neighborhood Description Regional Overview Washington state’s total population grew by 1.0% on April 1, 2025, according to annual estimates prepared by the Office of Financial Management. The Seattle Metropolitan area is located in the middle of a 5-county area often referred to as the Central Puget Sound Region. Seattle is the central focus of economic activity. Seattle and the Region have experienced significant population and business growth over the last several decades. Trends in the Seattle area over the last decade in particular included significant population, economic and employment growth. The metro area had a population of 4.145 million in 2024, with real gross domestic product (GDP) of $566.7 billion in 2023, the 10th largest regional economy in the US with a 10-year CAGR of 4.9%, ranking #1 among large US metro areas in short term and top-tier growth over multi-year benchmarks. Led by growth in technology, as a world center of software development (including Amazon and Microsoft as headquartered companies employing about 115,000 total), both population and economic growth have been diverse. As of May 2024, the mean hourly wage in the Seattle‑Tacoma‑Bellevue MSA was $43.16, well above the national average of $32.66 and in the top 3-4 metro areas for mean wages, although the cost of living was 9th highest out of 269 urban areas in the 3rd quarter of 2023 according to a study by the Council for Community and Economic Research. The area is well known for its overall quality of life, with a reputation for both culture and recreation, and is one of the most attractive areas for both relocation and tourism, especially for younger people. Recent impacts from the work-from-home trend are apparent in the dense but livable urban office core of downtown Seattle, diminishing the presence of office workers even as the CBD matures and retains new residents with a high quality environment. While the short term is clouded by uncertainty in the economy related to tariffs and interest rates the general consensus view on the region’s economy is one of optimism, with most reports projecting upward trends in the longer term. 0 500,000 1,000,000 1,500,000 2,000,000 2,500,000 King Pierce Snohomish Seattle MSA Population Change 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 70 of 580 Appraisal of Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 Page | 15 Renton, WA Neighborhood Description McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc. (File 46002, February 25, 2026) Neighborhood Description The subject is located in the East Renton Highlands area of unincorporated King County. The neighborhood is primarily residential, consisting of single-family homes of varying ages and sizes. Properties along 160th Avenue SE range broadly in construction years (1912–2021), with average lot sizes of approximately 0.234 acres and average building sizes near 2,029 square feet. Access to the area is provided by NE Sunset Boulevard (NE 4th Street) to the northwest and SE Petrovitsky Road to the south, which connect residents to downtown Renton, Interstate 405, and regional employment centers, including the Boeing Renton facility. Nearby commercial services are concentrated along major arterials and at The Landing, a retail district serving the broader Highlands and Sunset areas. Transit service is limited, consistent with the neighborhood’s minimal-transit classification. The neighborhood reflects typical suburban development patterns, with established residential subdivisions and consistent maintenance levels. The housing stock shows a mix of ages and styles but demonstrates stable long-term occupancy and use. School assignments within unincorporated portions of Renton vary by district boundaries; schools in the nearby Highlands and Sunset areas fall under the Renton School District. Conclusion In summary, the area surrounding the subject is a stable, predominantly single-family residential neighborhood with typical suburban characteristics, established access routes, and proximity to regional employment and commercial services. Overall, the location of the subject provides good access to the surrounding region and is functional for various residential uses. 71 of 580 Appraisal of Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 Page | 16 Renton, WA Market Analysis McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc.

(File 46002, February 25, 2026) Median Sale Price of Residential Homes in the Renton Highlands Market - NWMLS While the subject is not a residential home, the residential market works in tandem with construction costs to set the value of residential land. Home sales in the Puget Sound are typically seasonal, with the highest value transactions occurring in summer and the lowest in winter. Prices spiked in March 2025. Subsequent reporting periods since this spike have included highs and immediate counterbalancing troughs with a generally downward trend. It is helpful to note the monthly supply of inventory in the subject area. This metric is created by dividing the number of active listings by the average number of monthly sales, assuming no new listings are added. This rise in months of supply closed can be indicative of a cooling market and consistent with the relatively flat pricing trendline in the larger Renton Highland area where prices are only recently beginning to see a decline. 73 of 580 Appraisal of Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 Page | 18 Renton, WA Market Analysis McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc. (File 46002, February 25, 2026) Conclusion As seen in the previous charts, while home prices have stagnated and listings remain on market a longer period, land prices continue to increase in the subject area. 74 of 580 Appraisal of Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 Page | 19 Renton, WA Property Description McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc.

(File 46002, February 25, 2026) Property Description Land Area 3,648 sf Shape and Dimensions Rectangular 16’ x 228’ Access and Frontage Landlocked. The nearest access is available from 158th Ave SE, a neighborhood street. Topography Gently sloping from west to east. Hydrology and Flood Hazard The subject property is outside of any flood plain, according to Q3 FEMA Mapping Technology Panel 53033C0982G, with a limited flood hazard. Environmental Contamination We have not been provided with an environmental site assessment for the subject property, and assume no negative environmental conditions. Environmentally Critical Areas (ECAs) No ECAs indicated. Utilities All public utilities are available including electricity, gas, water, sewer, and telephone. Zoning The subject is zoned R‑4, a Residential Low-Density designation allowing a maximum density of four dwelling units per net acre plus 2 accessory dwelling units per legal lot. This zoning is intended to regulate low‑density residential development and ensure consistency with Renton’s adopted Comprehensive Plan policies. R‑4 is part of Renton’s Residential Low and Medium Density zoning group, which establishes standards for density, lot dimensions, and site development. These standards define minimum lot size, setbacks, and other requirements to maintain orderly residential growth. Permitted uses in R‑4 primarily include detached single‑family dwellings, along with related residential uses such as manufactured homes, accessory dwelling units, adult family homes, and certain small‑scale residential care uses, as outlined in Renton’s zoning use table. 76 of 580 Appraisal of Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 Page | 21 Renton, WA Property Description McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc. (File 46002, February 25, 2026) R‑4 also plays a role in future annexation areas where Renton applies net‑density calculations, subtracting roads, wetlands, and other constrained areas before determining allowable units. This contrasts with King County’s gross‑density method and ensures development aligns with Renton’s lower‑density standards. Seismic Zone and Building Compliance The Puget Sound region is prone to periodic earthquakes from several sources including shallow, deep and subduction zone earthquakes. This creates a seismic risk for land and building structures. The risk for any particular property is complex, related to the nature of the seismic event including type and direction of ground movement, and to the detailed geotechnical nature of the property and the specific construction of any site or building improvements. Specific hazards include landslide, ground subsidence, ground displacement, liquefaction, tsunami, flooding, fire, and building damage or collapse. The 2014 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Maps are identified as the "best available science" in earthquake hazards estimation for the United States. These maps identify a 2 percent probability of exceedance of peak horizontal ground acceleration (PGA) in the Puget Sound region in the range of about 0.5g - 0.71g over 50 years. The specific study of the hazard for any particular property is beyond the scope of this appraisal. We have not been provided with a structural assessment for the subject, which is beyond our expertise. Property Taxes The subject does not represent an established parcel. Therefore, there are no property taxes to reference. Functionality The subject is not a buildable parcel in its current configuration. It does not meet the shape and frontage requirements of the indicated zoning. 77 of 580 Appraisal of Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 Page | 22 Renton, WA Highest and Best Use McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc. (File 46002, February 25, 2026) Highest and Best Use "Highest & Best Use" is defined by the Appraisal Institute as: The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or improved property that is physically possible, appropriately supported, and financially feasible and that results in the highest value. The concept of Highest and Best Use is based on the most profitable and valuable use that is both probable and appropriately supported. The Highest and Best Use must meet four criteria: it must be legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible, and maximally productive. Highest and Best Use As If Vacant and Unimproved Legally Permissible The subject is zoned R-4 by the city of Renton. This zoning allows for 4 dwelling units per acre with each legal lot accommodating a maximum of two accessory dwelling units. Please see the zoning discussion in the Site Description section for further requirements. Physically Possible Although the subject parcel could not be individually developed due to its small size and narrow configuration, it is mostly level and is physically well-suited as part of a residential development site. All utilities are available. Financially Feasible & Maximally Productive There is evidence of new single-family home construction in the subject area, indicating the financial feasibility of such development. Residential construction is currently occurring in the region and in the subject’s neighborhood. The subject site is vacant development land with a highest and best use of residential development to the maximum density. Highest and Best Use as Currently Improved The subject site is not currently improved. 78 of 580 Appraisal of Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 Page | 23 Renton, WA Property Valuation McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc.

Station 16 Street Vacation Sale Comparison Summary Rectangular, treed Lot in existing King County neighborhood. Limited street improvements required for development. Sale not publicly marketed. East Highlands neighborhood has been developed inconsistently, with a mix of new large homes and smaller homes from the 1960s. Purchased for the Solera development project, to develop 22 dwellings. Fronts SR 900, a regional arterial. Sloping from SW to NE, with some Cascade view lots. Septic is on site at the time of sale, but within the coverage area of City of Renton sewer services.

(File 46002, February 23, 2025) Property Valuation The Sale Comparison Approach uses sales of comparable improved properties to derive units of comparison that are then used to indicate value for the subject. Please refer to the map and to the Sale Comparison Summary exhibit which outlines the details of the sale comparisons. Data Search Our search for comparable data primarily focused on recent sales of residential land located in the Renton Highlands neighborhood or similar nearby neighborhoods. To identify recent local sales, we used NWMLS, CoStar, CBA, the King County Assessor, our in-house database, and conversations with active brokers in the subject market. The results of our search indicated a number of larger land sales proposed for subdivision or single lot development. From this mass of data, we focused on the sales nearby the subject and of similar or same zoning assignment to the subject. We then analyzed these sales, making adjustments based on location/access/exposure and site improvements/plans. Adjustments are limited as the majority of the sales are proximate to the subject and the nature of this “Across the Fence” valuation precludes the use of size/shape adjustments. Emphasis was also placed on the most recent transactions in selecting the primary sale comparisons. The comparisons have been analyzed on the basis of price per square foot, as is typical for this type of transaction and is appropriate given the “Across the Fence” methodology. Land Sale Comparisons Land Sale 1 Land Sale 1 consists of three contiguous parcels located at 15821 SE 128th Street and 12924–12930 158th Avenue SE within the Renton jurisdiction. The combined site totals approximately 130,500 square feet of R‑4–zoned land and is mostly flat with a rectangular, inset configuration bisected by an alley. At the time of sale in October 2022, two of the parcels were modestly improved: one contained a 1,000‑square‑foot single‑family residence with a 900‑square‑foot outbuilding, and another contained a single‑wide manufactured home with a deck. The third parcel was unimproved. The surrounding neighborhood reflects typical suburban residential development. The property sold in October 2022 for $2,400,000, equating to approximately $18.39 per square foot. The properties were purchased together under a single contract by Renton Regional Fire Authority for construction of a new fire station, which contributed to the premium for the assembled acreage despite older improvements. The transaction represents pricing for large, mostly flat assemblages in Renton that offer redevelopment flexibility for civic or institutional uses. 85 of 580 Appraisal of Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 Page | 30 Renton, WA Property Valuation McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc. (File 46002, February 23, 2025) Land Sale 2 Land Sale 2 is located at 15817 SE 128th Street in Renton and consists of approximately 16,588 square feet of R‑4–zoned land. The parcel is mostly flat and rectangular, with inset and street‑fronting orientation. At the time of the August 2023 sale, the site was developed with an older 1,800‑square‑foot single‑family residence and a 400‑square‑foot garage, both constructed in 1932. The surrounding area is characterized by established suburban residential uses. The property sold in August 2023 for $525,000, or roughly $31.65 per square foot. The buyer, Renton Regional Fire Authority, acquired the parcel for expansion of its planned fire station site, reflecting an institutional‑use premium for strategically important infill lots. Land Sale 3 Land Sale 3 is located at 6570 SE 2nd Place in Renton and consists of approximately 29,981 square feet of R‑4–zoned land. The parcel has a slight slope and is rectangular with an inset orientation within an established residential area. At the time of sale, the property included an existing septic system; however, municipal sewer service was available in the street, supporting redevelopment potential. The surrounding neighborhood reflects typical suburban patterns, with single‑family homes on similarly sized lots. The property sold in October 2025 for $685,000, or approximately $22.85 per square foot. The site was publicly listed, received multiple inspections and offers, and ultimately sold for $10,000 above the asking price, indicating competitive market interest. The buyer reportedly planned to bring sewer service to the site and subdivide the property into three residential lots. The transaction reflects market pricing for moderately sloped infill parcels with subdivision potential and existing on‑site utilities, where buyer competition contributes to price support. Land Sale 4 Land Sale 4 is located at 5000 155th Avenue SE in the East Highlands / White Fence Ranch area of unincorporated King County. The site contains approximately 10,723 square feet of R-4–zoned land and is rectangular in shape with an inset configuration. The parcel is mostly flat and treed, with limited street improvements required for development. The surrounding neighborhood has developed inconsistently, with a mix of newer, larger homes and smaller residences dating from the 1960s. The property sold in June 2024 for $240,000, which calculates to approximately $22 per square foot of land area. The sale was not publicly marketed. The transaction reflects pricing for a larger, lower-density residential lot with fewer infrastructure requirements in a semi- rural portion of the East Highlands area. 86 of 580 Appraisal of Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 Page | 31 Renton, WA Property Valuation McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc. (File 46002, February 23, 2025) Land Sale 5 Land Sale 5 is located at 14520 SE Renton‑Issaquah Road in King County. The land area totals approximately 206,882 square feet and is zoned R‑4. The site is mostly flat with a rectangular, inset orientation and fronts SR 900, a regional arterial serving the Renton‑Issaquah corridor. The property slopes from southwest to northeast, offering the potential for Cascade‑view lots. At the time of the December 2024 sale, the site contained septic systems but was within the service area of the City of Renton’s sewer utility, and water service was provided by King County Water District. The property sold for $5,300,000, equating to about $25.62 per square foot. The buyer, Tri‑Pointe Homes, acquired the site for development of the Solera project, which proposed 22 residential units. The sale demonstrates pricing for large R‑4 assemblages with subdivision potential in a desirable East Renton location, particularly when supported by arterial frontage, utility service availability, and opportunities for view‑oriented residential development. Adjustments Adjustments have been made to reflect differences in Property Rights, Market Conditions, Location and Site Improvements/Plans. We also considered a zoning adjustment, but the comparisons are all similar enough to the subject in that regard that no adjustments were deemed necessary. Property Rights The subject right of way bisects Sale 1 as seen on the Sale 1 image on page 24. Historical aerial images as far back as 1990 suggest that while the property was technically encumbered by the right of way easement, the easement area was utilized and maintained by the owner of the Sale 1. Nevertheless, this acquisition reflects a site that is not contiguous, requiring that the buyer expend additional cost and time to complete the contiguous development site. A slight upward adjustment is appropriate. Market Conditions As described in the market section of the report, the sales market for single family homes has stalled. However, land sales for development continue to move forward. The greater Renton Highlands area enjoys excellent access, and the mix of Renton and King County jurisdictions has resulted in a number of larger lots that can still be purchased and subdivided. We reviewed our in-house documentation, the Case Shiller home price index, and paired market transactions in determining that an upward adjustment is applicable to the older sales. 87 of 580 Appraisal of Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 Page | 32 Renton, WA Property Valuation McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc.

(File 46002, February 25, 2026) Location The subject is located within an existing neighborhood along a neighborhood street. We reviewed each comparable and adjusted for location based on nearby services and differential pricing between newer homes in the subject area and newer homes near each comparable. Site Improvements The subject, Sale 1 and Sales 3 through 5 include no significant site improvements that added value to the property. Sale 2 transacted with a 1,400 sf single family home and 400 square foot garage built in 1938. Investigation of the site, including historical images, suggest that the home was similar to other homes that have transacted in the neighborhood for purposes other than redevelopment. The improvement appears to offer contributory value and a downward adjustment is appropriate. Land Value Conclusions The sale comparisons indicate an unadjusted range of from $19/sf to $32/sf. Sales 1 and 2 are directly adjacent to the subject, but were not openly marketed. Sales 3, 4 and 5 are all relatively timely and required minimal adjustments. Based on these indications and the adjustments discussed, we have concluded that the subject value would be near the mid- range of the comparable adjusted values at $24/sf or $88,000 rounded. 89 of 580 Appraisal of Right of Way Vacation for RRFA Station 16 Page | 34 Renton, WA McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc.

(File 46002, February 25, 2026) ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND REAL ESTATE MARKETS 93 of 580 Page | 1 Economic Conditions and Real Estate Markets US and Seattle Economic Conditions and Real Estate Markets National Economic Conditions As of July 2025, the U.S. economy has experienced some slowdown, with ongoing concerns regarding the somewhat unknown effects of higher tariffs. A Reuters poll of 105 economists in July forecasts full‑year GDP growth at 1.5% for 2025 (down from ~2.8% in 2024), with a milder 1.6% anticipated in 2026. concerns about a potential recession. The Conference Board now project real GDP growth at about 1.6% for 2025, citing tariff effects and slowing consumer spending, and predicts a shift to later tariff impacts for the end of 2025 and early 2026. They also expect some delay on anticipated Fed rate cuts. Interestingly fears about a recession this year have diminished with prospects now in the 30%-35% range, although there is renewed talk of stagflation. In terms of inflation and interest rates, year over year inflation in June 2025 was 2.7%, up from 2.4% in May. Hopes for further rate cuts are clouded by inflation concerns. The expectation is for lower near term interest or yield rates as the Fed will lower rates in 2025-2026, but generally higher long term rates reflecting some future concern, although the return to a normal (non-inverted) yield curve suggests a fairly normal overall situation and future prospect for now. The most prevalent economic attitude today is uncertainty. Near term economic attitudes are fairly pessimistic, and it is difficult to see a longer term horizon as the many issues clouding the immediate future predominate as we navigate the many disruptive issues at hand. Markets are quite uncertain. In the longer term the fundamentals of the US economy remain relatively string. Despite the apparent alienation of trade partners and a decline in stature and perception of economic leadership, the US economy has proven to be particularly resilient in the last couple of economic shocks, including after the Great Recession, and post-Covid. The national demographic continues a trend of predictable aging, but the US benefits from a younger and more diverse population relative to most economic peers. Advances in technology and a large capital base may stimulate productivity and job creation. National Real Estate Market - Value Trends and Sectors For a broad understanding of the current conditions in the commercial real estate markets, we have examined several nationally published price indices. These indices shed light on recent and historical value trends in commercial real estate markets, including differentiation by property type sector 94 of 580 Page | 2 Economic Conditions and Real Estate Markets US and Seattle First, the Commercial Property Price Index (CPPI) produced by Real Capital Analytics (RCA), reflecting results through October 2025: This equally weighted index reflects repeat sales of the same property in which the initial transaction price was $2.5 million or more. After almost a year of slow decline the overall one year average upturned slightly and has remained unchanged in the last month reporting a 0% change in All Types in the last month. All asset classes save apartments and CBD office reporting increases over 2%. While apartments and CBD office continue to decline, the decline has slowed significantly. Overall, in the 6 major metropolitan areas are down slightly over 1-year and 5-year periods, while down about 11% over 3 years. However, the Seattle area is has remained relatively steady at 3% growth in the past 1 and 5 year periods. Without the significant downturn in values for CBD office, other sectors look more neutral to slightly positive. Please note that these fairly recent statistics do not incorporate recent commentary and rate reductions annoucenced by the Federal Reserve Bank. 95 of 580 Page | 3 Economic Conditions and Real Estate Markets US and Seattle Another national index, the Green Street CPPI, has REIT data (institutional properties), is value weighted, and is appraisal-based. The Price Index is “a time series of unleveraged U.S. commercial property values that captures the prices at which commercial real estate transactions are currently being negotiated and contracted”. The overall index has increased 2.9% over the past 12 months. The following graphs indicate the sector-specific changes for the last seven years. Over the last 12 months almost all sectors have marked increases except the office asset class which has remained unchanged over the last 12 months. The overall “Core Sector” Index is up 3% over the last 12 months. 96 of 580 Page | 4 Economic Conditions and Real Estate Markets US and Seattle Finally, the CoStar Commercial Repeat-Sale Indices (CCRSI) is based on repeat sale pairs. This bifurcated index shows the equal-weighted composite index holding fairly steady and slightly increasing since 2022, while the value-weighted composite index declined significantly from the 2022 peak before stabilizing and beginning to increase in 2024. Since mid-2024 both indexes have had a marked increase in the fall and dip in December. This differentiation of the recent stability of smaller commercial property values, relative to the significant decline from 2022 peak values for larger institutional properties is consistent with and further explains much of the data and trends presented by the other indices. Focusing on the West market segments (including Seattle), based on the stronger Equal- Weighted data through October, the indices show a strong peak and large decline for multifamily, with the other major sectors holding fairly stead over the last three years. Once again, this index does not yet indicate post-tariff pricing, which is likely weak, at least for now. In summary near-term prospects for commercial real estate value are now fairly neutral in most sectors, after some significant decline in office and multifamily. With many assets collateralized with term debt arrangements, lenders and investors remain cautious and the near-term availability of capital is low. When capital is available it is at higher interest rates than typical over the last 10 years, and leveraged returns in particular are under pressure. Industrial is a current concern due to the impact of tariffs, and there has been significantly reduced ship traffic in the last two months. Otherwise, increased cap rates have negatively impacted values, while in most sectors stable or slightly rising rental rates have mitigated or alleviated the downward pricing pressure. 97 of 580 Page | 5 Economic Conditions and Real Estate Markets US and Seattle Seattle Area Economy The Seattle and Western Washington economies have mostly paralleled the national trends. The Seattle area has remained a relatively bright spot nationally, due to the relative stability and good employment outlook because of its establishment as a world center for software development, as the foundation and headquarter location for two of the five most valuable US corporations (Microsoft and Amazon). These companies directly employ about 100,000 workers in the metropolitan area, at high average wages of about $150,000. Furthermore, the employment talent that has flooded the area in the last 10 years creates demand from other market competitors, creating a center of innovation and a nexus of employment growth. These employers notably include Meta and Google, in addition to a wide range of local, national, and international companies ranging from startup to industry leaders. The corporate growth and high wages create some problems including occupant and tenant displacement, homelessness, and high housing prices. Overall, the region provides a positive economic and real estate situation compared to most markets, and the Seattle area remains at the relative forefront of investment demand and value maintenance. In August 2024 ADP released a ranking of the 55 US metro markets with populations of at least 1 million. Using the metrics of pay rate, pay growth, and level of hiring over the last 12 months (ending June 2024) Seattle ranked 4th overall, essentially at the very top of the scale for wage level and wage growth, but somewhat lagging on hiring rate relative mostly to a number of smaller markets. According to a 2022 Brooking Institution report Seattle is one of 8 superstar metropolitan technology hubs in the US, with 159,000 tech workers in 2019, and a cumulative average growth rate of +7.6%/year over the period 2015-2019. These superstar hubs are responsible for the majority of the US tech industry employment growth. According to the Axios- Generation Lab Next Cities Index, which tracks U.S. work and culture trends through geographic preferences, Seattle is America’s most desired post-graduation destination for college students. On the other hand, the Brookings report also identifies the recent trend of decentralization as lowering the net growth rate significantly during 2021, concluding; “the pandemic years have raised the promise of tech decentralization through remote work and new siting decisions. However, the continued dominance of tech’s long-standing hubs ensures that the “rise of the rest” won’t happen easily”. The prospects for the Seattle area for continued tech focus and employment growth (accompanied by high wages and prices) appear to be moderate today. 98 of 580 Page | 6 Economic Conditions and Real Estate Markets US and Seattle A snapshot of office occupancy by the largest employers was compiled by the Puget Sound Business Journal as of July 2024. Four of the six or so international technology giants occupy over 33 million sf of office, representing 30% of the entire office market of about 110 million sf in the region. Net hiring has largely paused for the time being, and overall, the net absorption of space by these companies has been neutral (largely because Microsoft vacated Bellevue properties as it moved employees to the new campus expansion space in Redmond). In general Seattle and King County have recently continued to witness moderate net population and job growth, with Seattle last year accounting for 18,500 (+2.3%) or more than half of the 30,300 population increase in King County from 2023-2024 (+1.3%). Estimates for Seattle area average daily foot traffic, relative to pre-pandemic levels almost five years ago are at about 63% in July 2024, continuing a moderate recovery trend. The figures define “workers” as coming in 3 days per week or more, and Amazon’s mandate for that level of in-office attendance a year ago is presumably influential, as other employers have gradually adopted similar requirements or goals. With technology employment particularly prone to work-from-home trends and considering the weighting of employment in Seattle these figures are low by national standards, yet the local feeling of optimism and noticeable increases in day and night activity, combined with fairly robust tourism sector (one of the top destinations domestically and increasingly internationally), with hotel occupancy in Seattle actually exceeding 2019 pre-pandemic Company Name Square Feet of Office Space Occupied, 2024 Rank Change from 2023 1 Year Net Absorption Company Classification Amazon.com Inc.17,920,000 sf 1 5.0%896,000 sf Giant Tech Microsoft Corp.10,910,000 sf 2 -13.9%-1,516,490 sf Giant Tech Meta Platforms 2,560,000 sf 3 13.2%337,920 sf Giant Tech Google Inc.1,990,000 sf 4 10.0%199,000 sf Giant Tech Expedia Group Inc.1,380,000 sf 5 0.1%1,380 sf Travel T-Mobile US Inc.1,280,000 sf 6 -9.7%-124,160 sf Telecom Costco Wholesale Corp.1,200,000 sf 7 0.0%0 sf Consumer The Boeing Co.860,999 sf 8 -51.8%-445,997 sf Aerospace WeWork 804,814 sf 9 -19.3%-155,329 sf Real Estate Starbucks Coffee Co.784,640 sf 10 1.1%8,631 sf Consumer Total 39,690,453 sf -2.0%-799,046 sf Largest Office Occupiers in Seattle Area As of July, 2024 (Source: PSBJ and CoStar) 99 of 580 Page | 7 Economic Conditions and Real Estate Markets US and Seattle levels in summer 2024. Unlike many cities Seattle has a significant residential population downtown, at about 106,000 residents (mostly in fairly newly constructed apartments and condos, with strong income demographics), and the core area is one of the most walkable and bikeable in the US. Seattle Real Estate Investment Conditions Seattle has generally outperformed the National averages in terms of the desirability of commercial real estate, as demonstrated by relatively lower going-in cap rates, and lower required yields or returns than National or Regional averages (leading to higher values for otherwise similar income properties). The following table provides a snapshot comparison by sector as of 2nd Quarter 2025, provided by the RERC Survey of Investment Criteria: 100 of 580 Page | 8 Economic Conditions and Real Estate Markets US and Seattle In general investment conditions improved slightly over last quarter on the average. Seattle slipped on average IRR required for investment, a proxy for overall risk perception, now standing as the 11th lowest out of 47 cities, the lowest ranking in some time. As a west coast city, only LA is lower. Seattle remains high for potential reward and income increase though, with the 5th lowest average cap rate, essential a prediction of stronger than average future potential for economic growth. The strong economic prospects for employment and population growth due to the establishment of modern growth industries, and an attractive and desirable residential environment are positive, but the exposure the employment- vulnerable tech industry darkens the picture. Summary and Conclusions In summary, while Covid impacts and concerns have finally faded, structural changes to the commercial real estate markets have increased the uncertainty and volatility of this investment class. Retail is generally back, travel and visitation are back, housing is in short supply with home values and apartment rents faring pretty well. Tariff concerns may have changed the landscape to some extent, with concern particularly evident for industrial logistics properties and for the retail sector. A weak office market and high cost of living are significant current concerns, and pricing of most real estate is somewhat volatile and uncertain at this time. Seattle, King County and the surrounding region nevertheless continue as prime locations for residence and employment. 101 of 580 Page | 9 Economic Conditions and Real Estate Markets US and Seattle Rank*Business Name WA State Employment Primary WA City Companywide Revenue ($Billion, 2023) Companywide Employment (1,000s, 2023) Previous Yr's Rank 1 Amazon.com 87,000 Seattle $574.79 1,500.0 1 2 The Boeing Co.66,797 Everett $77.79 170.7 2 3 Microsoft Corp.55,119 Redmond $211.92 228.2 3 4 Joint Base Lewis-McChord 54,025 McChord N/A 54.0 4 5 University of Washington Seattle 53,305 Seattle $7.71 55.7 5 6 Providence 46,000 various $0.03 120.0 9 7 Navy Region Northwest 37,000 Silverdale N/A 37.0 6 8 Walmart Inc.22,655 various $648.13 2,100.0 8 9 Costco Wholesale Corp.21,500 Issaquah $242.29 316.0 11 10 Kroger Co.21,000 various $150.04 414.0 10 11 MultiCare Health Systems 20,660 Tacoma $4.30 21.5 12 12 Albertsons Cos. dba Safeway, Haggen, Albertsons 20,000 various $79.24 300.0 7 13 Virginia Mason Franciscan Health 18,000 Seattle $4.10 18.0 13 14 Alaska Air Group Inc.11,443 SeaTac $10.43 23.5 14 15 Seattle Children's 10,170 Seattle $3.86 10.3 16 16 Starbucks Coffee Co.10,000 Seattle $35.98 381.0 15 17 Meta Platforms 8,000 Seattle $134.90 67.3 18 18 Kaiser Permanente 7,500 various $70.80 223.7 17 19 Washington State University 7,250 Pullman $1.37 7.3 20 Google Inc.7,000 Seattle $307.39 182.5 20 21 T-Mobile US Inc.6,552 Bellevue $63.20 66.8 19 22 Nordstrom Inc.6,500 Seattle $14.69 54.0 22 23 Seattle Public Schools 6,324 Seattle $1.00 6.3 21 24 Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center 6,158 Seattle $2.35 6.4 23 25 Pacific Northwest National Laboratory 6,089 Richland N/A 6.5 27 26 Tacoma Public Schools 4,500 Tacoma $0.55 4.5 33 27 Blue Origin LLC 4,286 Kent N/A 9.3 29 28 Catholic Community Services and Catholic Housing 4,180 Seattle $0.29 4.2 29 Oracle Corp.4,043 Seattle $49.95 164.0 30 30 Valley Medical Center 3,800 Renton $2.75 3.8 28 31 Overlake Medical Center & Clinics 3,740 Bellevue $0.73 3.7 35 32 Salesforce 3,654 Bellevue $34.86 73.3 34 33 Spokane Public Schools 3,629 Spokane $0.63 3.6 21 34 Vancouver Public Schools 3,300 Vancouver $0.39 3.3 36 35 Expedia Group Inc.3,290 Seattle $12.84 17.1 25 36 PACCAR Inc.3,200 Kirkland $35.13 32.4 37 37 Lake Washington School District 3,187 Redmond $0.68 3.2 40 38 Western Washington University 2,738 Bellingham $0.20 2.7 39 39 Columbia Hospitality 2,602 various $0.41 3.2 41 40 Premera Blue Cross 2,589 Mountlake Terrace N/A 3.2 38 41 Puyallup School District 2,580 Puyallup $0.38 2.6 31 42 URM Stores Inc.2,250 Spokane $1.80 3.2 47 43 JPMorgan Chase & Co.2,213 various $158.10 311.7 55 44 Port of Seattle 2,200 Seattle $0.95 2.2 43 45 Pfizer Inc.2,140 Everett $58.50 88.0 50 46 Umpqua Bank 2,027 various $2.00 5.2 45 47 Accenture 1,950 Seattle $64.10 733.0 49 48 Comcast 1,829 Lynnwood $121.00 186.0 48 49 Bank of America 1,800 various $98.58 213.0 42 50 PCC Community Markets 1,794 Seattle $0.44 1.8 51 Aegis Living 1,697 various $0.26 2.9 52 52 Seattle University 1,587 Seattle $0.24 1.7 59 53 Nintendo of America Inc.1,540 Redmond $4.80 7.7 51 54 Zillow Group Inc.1,500 Seattle $1.95 6.3 55 55 Avista Corp.1,499 Spokane $1.75 1.9 54 56 Expeditors International of Washington Inc.1,423 Seattle $9.30 18.1 57 57 Gonzaga University 1,407 Spokane $0.42 1.4 58 F5 Inc.1,400 Seattle $2.81 6.5 53 59 TikTok 1,318 Bellevue $16.00 7.0 60 KeyBank 1,160 various $6.40 17.0 *ranked by employment in Washington State, based on data compiled by the Puget Sound Business Journal, September 2024 Top 60 Employers in Washington 102 of 580 McKee Appraisal Real Estate Services & Consulting, Inc.

The City of Renton initiated a park master planning and community outreach process to identify opportunities for future investment and establish a vision for a neighborhood park that balances recreation, community gathering, and natural resource protection. Located within the Talbot planning area—one of Renton’s most diverse neighborhoods and an area identified as having limited walkable park access—the site provides an opportunity to expand equitable recreation in a growing part of the city. Its diverse landscape supports wildlife habitat and water quality functions while preserving a tangible link to Renton’s agricultural heritage. As the surrounding community continues to evolve, Cleveland-Richardson Park will serve as both a recreational amenity and an ecological refuge that connects people to the city’s natural and cultural history. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES • Advance equitable access and fill a park-service gap in Southwest Renton — responding to the park-and-trail shortfall in the Talbot planning area by delivering a high-quality, accessible park that supports health, wellness, and social connection for nearby residents. • Create an inclusive neighborhood park for recreation, connection, and community — providing flexible play areas, gathering lawns, trails, event spaces, and spaces to interact with nature while maintaining accessible design elements that reflect the neighborhood’s diversity and evolving needs. • Protect and restore the site’s natural and cultural systems — preserving streams, wetlands, forested slopes, and open field habitats; enhancing water quality and wildlife functions; and honoring the property’s agricultural homestead legacy through thoughtful design and interpretation. MASTER PLANNING PROCESS The recommended master plan was shaped through an integrated process that combined technical research, community input, and iterative design. Initial work included on-site studies of wetlands, streams, soils, cultural resources, and structures—establishing a clear understanding of the site’s opportunities, constraints, and regulatory context. Building on this foundation, the design team collaborated with City staff, stakeholders, and community members to explore ideas, needs, and concerns related to access, programming, and environmental stewardship. Then, preliminary concepts were developed to test different approaches to balancing recreation and conservation. Finally, feedback gathered through meetings, surveys, and open houses directly informed the refinements that led to a unified master plan—one that reflects site realities, community priorities, and environmental responsibility. The following key themes were shaped by the stakeholder and community outreach through the three phases of the master planning process. KEY THEMES • Preserve & Restore Natural Areas • Foster Ecological Stewardship • Ensure Welcoming & Walkable Access • Design for All Ages & Abilities • Celebrate Culture & Community Identity • Incorporate Edible & Educational Landscapes • Plan for Safety & Long-Term Care CLEVELANDͳ RICHARDSON PARK 127 of 580 PART II | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER REPORT7 CLEVELANDͳ RICHARDSON ͳ MASTER PLAN 1 2 3 4 S 5 128 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT8 PARTIII PARK MASTER PLAN LOCATION HISTORY SITE INVENTORY & ANALYSIS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DESIGN PROCESS PREFERRED CONCEPT PROBABLE COST 129 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT9 LOCATION Ho q u i a m A v e N E Talbot Rd S S P u g e t D r Lin d A v e S W Mo n r o e A v e N E Ed m o n d s A v e N E S 7th St N e w ca stle W ay 11 6 t h A v e S E 87 t h A v e S NE 7th St Lo g a n A v e S 14 8 t h A v e S E 12 8 t h A v e S E SE 216th St B e n s o n R d S SE 183rd St SW 41st St SE Jones Rd SE 168th St Un i o n A v e N E SW 7th St LakeWas PugetDrSE SW 16th St H a r d i e A v e S W SW 34th St Ea s t V a l l e y R d SW 27th St E V a l l e y H w y 84 t h A v e S 154thPlSE S 132nd St N 3rd St SE Pet r o v i t s k y R d a Pkwy 68 t h A v e S Duvall Ave NE N 4th St b a n A v e S 12 4 t h A v e S E Ra i n i e r A v e S Rain i e r A v e N S212thWay NE 3rd St E M e r c e r W a Oa k e s d a l e A v e S W N Park Dr e n t e r Blv d SW 43rd St SE C arr R d NE 4th St SE 128th St Logan AveN S G ra d y W a y SE 208th St Pa r k A v e N 156th Ave SE S 124th S t 14 8 t h A v e S E SE 192nd St 11 6 t h A v e S E S180th St 16 4 t h A v e S E Airport Way S W G r a d y Way RentonAveS S E 2 0 4 t h W a y W M ercer W ay M o n s t e r R d S W 13 2 n d A v e S E SEMayValleyRd 14 0 t h A v e S E 1 4 0th W aySE NewcastleGolfClubRd 68thAve S S 133rd St UV900 UV900 UV515 UV169 UV181 UV167 UV900 UV167 ¥405 ¥405 RHD CMU RHD RMD RHD CMU CMU RHD RHD COR COR CMU RLD RMD CMU CMU RHD RLD EA RHD CMU RMD RHD RHD RHD RHD RMD RHD CMU CMU RHD RMD RHD RHD RHD RMD RMD RMD RLD RLD RHD RMD EA CMU RHD RMD RHD RHD RMD CMU EA EA CMU RHD RHD RLD RLD RHD RHD RHD RHD RHD RMD COR RLD RHD RLD RMD D RMD RMD EA RLD RMD CMU RLD RMD RHD RHD RHD RHD RLD RHD RMD RMD RMD NE 20th St S 7th St Quincy A v e N E S C ar rRd Sun s e tBlvd N NE23rd Pl NE2ndSt Burnet tA v e S La k e Ave S N E SunsetBlvd SE 160th St Fa c t o r y A v e N Sea h a w k s W a y NE 6 t h St NE 19th St Re n t o n A v e S S Tobin St N 30th St NE 10th St NE27thSt Bu r n e t t A v e S SE 164th St Jo n e s A v e N E Pa r k A v e N Ma i n A v e S NE 24th St Je r i c h o A v e N E NE 10th St SE 182nd St Sh a t t u c k A v e S T a lb otR d S NE 6th St NE 7th St Bu r n e t t A v e N Mon t e r e y Av e NE SE 172nd St 12 5 t h A v e S E N 8th St NE 10th St S 3rd St NE 4th St SE 184th St NE9th S t Be aco n W a y S NE 2nd St Re n t onAve S Sunse tBlvd N E Ga r d e n A v e N Sout h port D rN Ni l e A v e N E G r ant Ave S SE 164th St 10 8 t h A v e S E Ha rri n g t o n Ave NE NE 12th St Kir k l a n d A v e N E B e n s o n D r S SE Petrovitsky Rd Lake W ashingtonBl v d N Ta l b o t R d S Land Use Designations RLD - Residential Low Density RMD - Residential Medium Density RHD - Residential High Density EA - Employment Area CMU - Commercial Mixed Use COR - Commercial Office Residential Renton City Limits Lake Washington ¯ Source: City of Renton, 2023 0 0.25 0.5 Miles Updated by Ordinance #6116 Effective as of 8/21/2023 e attle King County ukwila Kent Kent King County King County King County Mercer Island King County Newcastle Bellevue CedarRiver Gree n River Project Site LAND USE REGULATIONS MAP The project site lies within a low-density residential area bordered by established neighborhoods. Just north of the site on Talbot Road S, the Land Use Map identifies high-density residential and commercial mixed-use zones that include apartments, condominiums, and senior living. To the west, the Kent Valley industrial corridor is a highly developed, vehicle-dominated employment center. The Cleveland-Richardson property provides valuable open-space within this mix of land uses, adding balance and ecological relief within an urbanized landscape. SITE LOCATION Cleveland-Richardson Park sits within the Talbot planning area of southwest Renton, directly across from the Springbrook Creek headwaters. Positioned between diverse and growing neighborhoods and the Kent Valley industrial corridor, the park will provide a much-needed natural refuge and gathering place for nearby residents. Its development will strengthen equitable access to recreation in an area where park and open-space opportunities have been limited, enhancing overall neighborhood livability. HYDROLOGY & WATERSHEDS MAP The hydrology and watershed map highlights the park’s critical position within the Springbrook Creek watershed, as creeks and wetlands on the site drain into this system. The Springbrook Headwaters, located east of the site across Talbot Road S, are an important component of Renton’s drinking water supply, underscoring the need to protect and enhance on-site natural resources. Springbrook Creek is a designated fish-bearing stream that historically supported coho salmon, cutthroat trout, and steelhead. Protecting and restoring these aquatic and riparian systems is essential to improving water quality, supporting fish and wildlife habitat, and sustaining long- term ecological health throughout the watershed. Project Site 130 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT10 PARK ACCESS MAP The City of Renton Park Access Map highlights the value of developing Cleveland- Richardson Park for the Southwest Renton community. Cleveland-Richardson Park is located in an area that currently lacks both passive and active recreational opportunities, emphasizing the importance of this project. Directly across the street, the Springbrook headwaters serve as a protected drinking water source and therefore does not allow public access. Developing Cleveland-Richardson Park offers a unique opportunity to provide needed recreational amenities for Southwest Renton residents while also promoting ecological stewardship and enhancing the quality of the site’s critical ecosystems. NEIGHBORHOOD MAP The neighborhood map identifies the park’s location within the Talbot neighborhood. As shown in the park access map, establishing this park will provide residents of both the Talbot and Benson neighborhoods with improved access to recreational opportunities while also creating a space that reflects and shares the broader history of Renton. LOCATION Project Site 131 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT11 HISTORY CLEVELANDͳRICHARDSON PARK Originally part of the traditional homelands of Coast Salish peoples—including the Duwamish, Muckleshoot, Snoqualmie, and other Lushootseed- speaking communities—the lands surrounding present-day Cleveland-Richardson Park supported salmon fishing, shellfish gathering, and seasonal harvesting of plants and game. These cultural traditions and practices continue today. The site transitioned to agricultural use in the early 20th century, beginning as a small family farm. By the mid-1900s, Edwin and Virginia Cleveland established their family home and raised eight children on the property. They managed orchards of apples, cherries, plums, pears, and walnuts, while raising cows, pigs, sheep, horses, and chickens. Supporting outbuildings included barns, sheds, chicken coops, and hired men’s quarters. A root cellar and basement canning room were used for preserving harvests from the large family garden. Through the latter half of the century, neighboring farms gave way to subdivisions, yet the Clevelands resisted selling. In 1995, the property was sold to the City of Renton with the intention of preserving the site as open space. Edwin and Virginia retained a life estate, remaining in the family home until their passing. Today, the primary residence, root cellar, and shed endure as physical reminders of the family’s stewardship. The evolution of Cleveland-Richardson Park mirrors the broader transformation of the Kent and Renton valleys—from Indigenous homelands, to agricultural settlement, to suburban development. Its preservation as a public park ensures that both its tribal and farming heritage remain integral to the community’s history. EXISTING STRUCTURES Cleveland-Richardson Park retains several historic structures and landscape features that reflect its long agricultural past. The primary farmhouse, constructed in 1936, remains in moderately good condition and has the potential for adaptive reuse as a ranger residence, workshop, or visitor center. The adjacent outbuilding, dating to the late 19th century, is in severe disrepair and would require extensive rehabilitation if preserved. Other remnants of the property’s farming history, including a root cellar and cultivated fields, provide additional opportunities to interpret the site’s cultural legacy. Collectively, these features highlight the property’s evolution from family farm to public park and offer a foundation for preservation, adaptive programming, and outdoor education. 1936 HISTORICAL AERIAL OF THE SITE 132 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT12 ACCESS Vehicular access to the property is currently limited to informal, unpaved entry points along Talbot Road S that are not suitable for public use. Pedestrian access is similarly constrained, with no defined public entry points or established circulation routes through the site. Future improvements will focus on creating safe, welcoming, and identifiable vehicular and pedestrian access points. Over time, the park could be served by accessible pedestrian pathways that establish public access to and through the site, enhancing community connectivity and enabling the property to function as a fully accessible public park. UTILITIES The site is minimally served by existing utilities, with limited water and electrical connections suitable only for low- intensity residential use. Utility upgrades and extensions will be required to support future park programming, including public restrooms, pavilions, pedestrian-level park lighting, and irrigation. If the farmhouse is retained as a ranger residence (no change of use), utility work would likely be limited to targeted upgrades to meet current residential code requirements. Any change of use, would likely require increased utility capacity, electrical upgrades, fire and life-safety systems, and full ADA accessibility improvements. Soos Creek Water & Sewer District provides water and sewer service in the area, with existing lines along Talbot Road S and 92nd Avenue S. As future improvements are evaluated, the City will determine whether to connect to Soos Creek utilities or extend City-owned services along Talbot Road S.

The site also receives stormwater from beyond its property boundaries— runoff from Talbot Road S, upper areas of the Springbrook watershed, and residential development south of the park is directed onto the property. Varied topography creates multiple, interconnected drainage patterns: the west fields occupy higher ground and primarily drain north and northeast toward the central field areas and Stream C, which eventually flows into Springbrook Creek. The central fields, bordered by wetlands and smaller tributaries, collect runoff from both the east and west portions of the site and convey it northward, serving as an important intermediary in the overall hydrologic system. Together, these flow patterns demonstrate a connected hydrologic system where all fields and slopes ultimately contribute to the wetlands and streams on site, which feed into Springbrook Creek. Beyond these fields, a steep, forested slope along the Kent–Renton boundary drains away from Springbrook Creek toward SR 167. This section of the site contains two identified wetlands that receive and manage runoff from the slope, providing localized water storage and ecological function. While portions of the site are underlain by stratified drift that may allow limited infiltration—particularly in the northeast field—the majority of the property has low infiltration potential due to shallow groundwater, seasonal ponding, and dense glacial till soils. These conditions constrain the feasibility of large-scale stormwater infiltration systems. Instead, the site is better suited to small-scale sustainable drainage features such as rain gardens, bioswales, and vegetated swales, which can slow, filter, and disperse runoff before it enters nearby waterways. Incorporating such features will help protect sensitive wetlands and tributary streams onsite, maintain hydrologic connectivity, and safeguard the quality of Renton’s drinking water supply. 134 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT14 CRITICAL AREAS The site contains two primary categories of critical areas: wetlands and streams and geologically hazardous areas. These features are regulated under the City of Renton Municipal Code (RMC 4-3-050) and have implications for future development and site planning. Wetlands and Streams A total of six wetlands (A–F) were delineated onsite, along with an additional wetland (Wetland X) identified along the western parcel boundary. Wetlands A, B, and F were classified as Category II wetlands, requiring protective buffers ranging from 75 to 110 feet, while Wetlands C, D, and E were rated as Category III wetlands, requiring buffers of 60 feet based on habitat scores. Wetland X was preliminarily rated as a Category IV wetland with a 40-foot buffer. In addition, multiple streams traverse the property, including Springbrook Creek, which flows along the northern portion of the site and is classified as a Type F fish-bearing stream. Several smaller tributaries (Streams A–E) are also present and include a mix of Type F and Type Np classifications. Type F (fish- bearing) streams, including Springbrook Creek, require 115-foot buffers, while Type Np (non-fish-bearing) streams require 75-foot buffers. These aquatic systems are part of the Springbrook Creek watershed and have historically supported salmonid species, including coho, Chinook, steelhead, chum, and cutthroat trout. While downstream fish- passage barriers currently limit access to upstream reaches, Springbrook Creek and connected Type F streams remain regulated Habitat Conservation Areas (HCAs) under City of Renton code. Geologically Hazardous Areas The site includes topography regulated as Geologically Hazardous Areas. The steepest slopes, including Protected slopes and areas of High Erosion Hazard, occur primarily along the western edge of the property adjacent to SR 167 and near the intersection of Springbrook Creek and Talbot Road S. Any improvements in these locations will require careful consideration and coordination with a geotechnical engineer. Within the primary areas of park development, slopes are generally less than 25 percent and are not classified as Sensitive or Protected slopes. Portions of the site do include areas mapped as Sensitive slopes (less than 40 percent), which may influence trail alignment. Minor grading associated with trails, boardwalks, or ADA-compliant pathways are feasible within Sensitive slope areas with careful alignment and assessment. For planning purposes, minimum setbacks of 10 feet from Sensitive slopes and 15 feet from Protected slopes should be maintained.

A facility assessment completed by ARC Architects found the structure to be in moderately good condiƟ on, with no immediate life- safety concerns. However, the assessment idenƟ fi ed the need for targeted maintenance, accessibility improvements, and upgrades to building systems to support future use. The level of required improvements would vary depending on the selected use. Accessibility upgrades would be required for any public or quasi-public funcƟ on, and addiƟ onal engineering studies are recommended to further evaluate structural capacity, uƟ liƟ es, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems prior to reuse. PotenƟ al adapƟ ve reuse scenarios for the farmhouse include OpƟ on A: Ranger Residence, OpƟ on B: Day Use Workshop / Maintenance Facility, and OpƟ on C: Visitor / InterpreƟ ve Center. OpƟ on A would generally not consƟ tute a change of use and would therefore require fewer code-related upgrades. In contrast, OpƟ ons B and C, as public or assembly-type uses, would likely trigger a change of use and require more substanƟ al improvements, potenƟ ally including full ADA compliance, upgraded building systems, fi re and life-safety improvements, and verƟ cal accessibility (such as an elevator or liŌ ), depending on fi nal programming. An adjacent outbuilding, daƟ ng to the late 19th century, was also evaluated and found to be in severe disrepair. Any future use of this structure would require signifi cant rehabilitaƟ on. AlternaƟ vely, removal and replacement may be considered, depending on the City’s preservaƟ on goals, budget, and long-term operaƟ ons strategy. While this report does not prescribe a specifi c program for the farmhouse or outbuilding, the facility assessment establishes a clear baseline for future decision-making. As the City of Renton considers next steps, balancing historic preservaƟ on with funcƟ onal, operaƟ onal, and fi nancial realiƟ es will be essenƟ al. Further evaluaƟ on will be required to refi ne cost esƟ mates, confi rm structural feasibility, and determine the appropriate level of investment needed to support long-term, community-serving uses of these faciliƟ es. *Please see Appendix F: Facility Assessment Report. FARMHOUSE 136 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT16 OPPORTUNITIES Cleveland-Richardson Park presents a rare opportunity to establish public open space in Southwest Renton—an area with limited park access and few large undeveloped parcels. The property’s natural systems and cultural history, provide a strong foundation for environmental restoration, education, and equitable community access. Understanding these existing assets is essential to shaping a master plan that protects the site’s existing assets while creating inclusive, meaningful connections to the surrounding community. • Community Connectivity - The park will help close a documented access gap in southwest Renton, strengthen pedestrian safety and walkability along Talbot Road S, and serve as a neighborhood destination for both the Talbot and Benson communities. • Cultural & Historic Resources - The farmhouse and surrounding property provide tangible links to Renton’s agricultural heritage and may offer opportunities for adaptive reuse, interpretation, or stewardship partnerships that celebrate the site’s history. • Cultural Identity & Community Gathering - Once part of the Duwamish homeland and later an agricultural landscape, the area has evolved into one of Renton’s most diverse neighborhoods. The park can serve as a unifying space that acknowledges this layered history while celebrating the cultures that shape the community today—welcoming residents of all backgrounds to connect and belong. • Open Space & Natural Features - At 23.7 acres, the property represents one of the largest remaining open spaces in southwest Renton, including former grazing fields interwoven with streams and wetlands—creating opportunities to enhance habitat, utilize green infrastructure, and provide outdoor recreation within a highly developed urban context. • Water Resources & Critical Areas - Existing wetlands, streams, and riparian areas offer opportunities for ecological restoration, habitat enhancement, and nature-based education. • Topography & Views - With nearly 100 feet of elevation change from east to west, the site provides opportunities for diverse outdoor experiences and views of Renton’s foothills. SITE INVENTORY & ANALYSIS POND AND HOUSE VIEW FROM EAST FIELD TO FARMHOUSE LOWER EAST FIELD LOOKING WEST WEST FIELD LOOKING EAST 137 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT17 CONSTRAINTS Cleveland-Richardson Park presents a range of site and regulatory constraints that will influence future design, permitting, and implementation. Addressing these considerations thoughtfully will be essential to balancing public access, environmental protection, and long-term park functionality. • Critical Areas & Buffers - The site contains multiple wetlands, streams, and fish-bearing waters that require protective buffers. Work within these areas must comply with municipal and state regulations. Early coordination with the City of Renton and long-term planning will be essential for balancing access, restoration, and environmental protection. • Geotechnical Limitations - Steep slopes, organic-rich soils, and shallow groundwater present challenges for grading, drainage, and construction. Development within slopes exceeding 25% is regulated under the City of Renton Critical Areas Ordinance and will require geotechnical review and special permitting. • Aging Structures - The farmhouse may have potential for adaptive reuse depending on its future function, but upgrades may be required to meet modern building and accessibility codes. Other structures on the site, including the shed and root cellar, appear structurally compromised and likely unsuitable for reuse. • Access & Circulation - Access to the site is currently limited, with no defined parking or pedestrian access. Usable land along Talbot Road S is constrained by the location of the pond, and during wet months, saturated soils further restrict access and usability. Future improvements will need to provide safe, accessible connections while responding to the site’s environmental constraints. • Vegetation Management - Invasive species are widespread throughout the property, complicating restoration efforts and suppressing native vegetation. Future management will need to focus on invasive species control, re-establishment of native plant communities, and long-term maintenance planning. • Regulatory Compliance - Future development will be subject to local, state, and federal permitting requirements related to wetlands, streams, slopes, and cultural resources. Early coordination and proactive environmental review will help streamline approvals and ensure compliance with all applicable regulations.

Guided by the Community Engagement Plan, the process emphasized meeting people where they are—through school events, neighborhood pop-ups, and culturally responsive outreach—while also providing opportunities for broader community input through online engagement and participation at citywide events such as the Renton Farmers Market and River Days. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT GUIDING GOALS • Inclusive Participation – Create multiple, accessible opportunities for involvement through in-person and online engagement, multilingual materials, and culturally responsive outreach. • Equitable Representation – Center the perspectives of historically marginalized and underrepresented groups, including renters, immigrants, older adults, people with disabilities, and those who speak languages other than English. • Trusted Partnerships – Strengthen existing relationships with local schools, faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, and neighborhood groups to build long-term trust. • Transparent Process – Share project updates at key milestones and demonstrate how public input directly informed planning and design decisions. • Community-Centered Vision – Develop a park plan that reflects community values, balances recreation and preservation, and serves as a gathering place for current and future generations. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TIMELINE The engagement process progressed through three phases—listening, exploring ideas, and refining a preferred concept. Each phase built on the efforts and feedback from the prior one, moving the project forward—toward a master plan that reflects community priorities. TEASDALE PARK POP-UP PHASE 1: LISTENING & LEARNING PHASE 2: EXPLORING IDEAS WINTER 2025 FALL 2025 SUMMER 2025 PHASE 3: CONFIRMING THE VISION 140 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT20 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ͳ PHASE 1 PHASE 1: LISTENING & LEARNING The initial phase of engagement focused on building awareness, sharing background information, and listening to nearby residents and City stakeholders. The team sought to understand community hopes, concerns, and aspirations while beginning to build relationships with the surrounding community. Through an array of outreach methods, the team introduced the project and early site analysis and gathered initial feedback that helped establish the program and criteria informing the first round of design concepts. Collectively, these efforts helped forge stronger connections with the future park users. CITY STAKEHOLDER MEETING The project team met with City staff and leadership to review the property’s context, environmental conditions, and potential role within Renton’s park system. Discussions emphasized the importance of cross-department coordination, opportunities for restoration and community gardening, and the need to align future planning with transportation, safety, and utility considerations. COMMUNITY OUTREACH Pop-up events were held at nearby apartments, schools, neighborhoods, and community gatherings within the Talbot and Benson communities. These sessions reached seniors, families, and multilingual residents, helping build early awareness and trust in the process. Participants shared concerns about safety, traffic, and site access, alongside strong interest in walking paths, playgrounds, and gathering spaces. Many also expressed a desire to keep the park natural while improving overall safety and accessibility. ONLINE ENGAGEMENT An online survey hosted on YourVoice Renton provided an accessible platform for residents to share their ideas, priorities, and concerns about the park’s future. The survey asked residents about their hopes for the site, the features and activities they would like to see, and any questions or considerations they wanted addressed as the project progressed. Participants expressed strong interest in walking paths, play areas, gardens, and gathering spaces, while emphasizing the importance of preserving open space, protecting natural resources, and reflecting the diversity of the surrounding community. WHAT WE HEARD Across all engagement activities, community feedback reflected a shared vision for a park that is: • Safe & Welcoming – A place for all ages, abilities, and backgrounds to comfortably enjoy the outdoors. • Connected & Accessible – Safe sidewalks, crossings, and walking routes along Talbot Road S that enhance access to the park. • Park Access & Safety – Traffic calming and safe vehicle access at the Talbot Road S entry, with restricted access at 92nd Avenue S. • Rooted in Nature – Preserving habitat, wetlands, tree canopy, and the natural character of the site. • Culturally Inclusive – Celebrating community diversity and history, including interpretation of the Cleveland-Richardson property. • Multi-functional – Offering spaces for outdoor recreation, community gathering, and quiet reflection. 92ND AVENUE S - NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT 141 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT21 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ͳ PHASE 2 PHASE 2: EXPLORING IDEAS The second phase of engagement focused on sharing early design ideas and gathering community feedback to refine the park’s vision. Building on Phase 1 priorities, two preliminary concepts were developed to explore different approaches to balancing recreation, access, and environmental restoration. Through coordination with City departments, neighborhood briefings, pop-ups, and online engagement, the team presented these ideas, answered questions, and gathered input that shaped the preferred concept. CITY STAKEHOLDER COORDINATION The project team met regularly with City staff—including Parks, Planning, Utilities, and Transportation—to review concepts and discuss feasibility, operations, and code requirements. Coordination included online and in- person meetings and site walkthroughs focused on access, critical areas, frontage improvements, utilities, habitat restoration, and maintenance. This feedback helped align concepts with City priorities and regulatory pathways. COMMUNITY OUTREACH Phase 2 built on the neighborhood-based outreach strategy from Phase 1, with a continued focus on in-person engagement in the Talbot and Benson neighborhoods. The team hosted pop-ups at nearby elementary schools and local parks, along with briefings at a senior living facility and the Sikh Temple. At each location, residents reviewed design concepts, explored engagement boards, and provided feedback on park features. This phase continued to prioritize meeting people where they already spend time, creating accessible, low-barrier opportunities for participation. Following nearby neighborhood engagement events, City staff hosted project pop-ups at citywide events including the Farmer's Market and Renton River Days. ONLINE ENGAGEMENT To complement in-person outreach and expand participation, the project team also provided online engagement options. An online presentation, survey, and live webinar with a Q&A session allowed community members to review concepts, compare program elements, ask questions, and share preferences remotely. The YourVoice platform broadened participation beyond in-person events and captured feedback on amenities, circulation, programming, and overall park character.BENSON HILL ELEMENTARY WHAT WE HEARD Across all engagement activities, several themes consistently emerged: • Strong Preference for Nature-Forward Design – Residents favored concept elements that preserved streams, wetlands, and tree canopy while creating opportunities to explore nature. • Enthusiasm for Walking Loops & Trail Connections – Continuous walking paths, ADA- accessible routes, and connections to Talbot Road S remained top priorities. • Support for Select Recreation Features – Interest in playgrounds, community gardens, loop trails, and open lawn areas was balanced with a desire to avoid over-programming the site. • Access & Safety Remained Key Concerns – Feedback emphasized improving sidewalk access and crossings on Talbot Road S and designing a safe, clear entry into the park. • Cultural Visibility & Community Identity – Many residents supported incorporating cultural interpretation, community art, and opportunities to reflect the area’s diverse neighborhoods. • Desire for Gathering Space Without Major Events – Communities favored small and medium gathering spaces over large event venues, prioritizing day-to-day use by nearby residents. 142 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT22 CONCEPTUAL PLANS The program options informed two contrasting conceptual directions: a Community Park focused on recreation amenities and gathering spaces, and a Nature Park emphasizing habitat, trails, and environmental restoration. This approach allowed the team to test whether residents prioritized active recreation, nature- based experiences, or a blend of both. While the concepts differ in character, several core elements appear in both—including park access, sidewalks, trails, pavilions, restrooms, habitat restoration and an on-site ranger residence—reflecting consistent themes heard throughout engagement. The conceptual plans shown on the following pages illustrate how these program elements could be organized on the site. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ͳ PHASE 2 CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT Building upon the Phase 1 efforts, the project team developed and shared program and layout options for the park. These materials were presented through community outreach, allowing residents to react to program elements, compare alternatives, and help shape the preferred concept. The intent was to spark dialogue and help the community imagine what is possible for the site. By using approachable graphics and meeting residents where they already gather, the team worked to demystify the design process and make it more accessible. This approach helped future park users understand the site, respond to ideas, and engage in meaningful conversations—an essential step in shaping concepts that reflect community needs and values. PROGRAM EXPLORATION BOARDS The program sketches were developed to present program options—shaped by early community input— in an accessible, engaging, and easy-to-understand illustrated format. The hand-drawn style created a cohesive, approachable look that invited participation from all ages. Graphics were translated into Spanish and Punjabi, and interpreters were available at several events to support multilingual engagement. The boards served as a visual menu of potential park features and were paired with dot-exercise activities that helped identify which elements resonated most with the community. This approach provided clear insight into the amenities residents valued most and directly informed the program and direction of the design concepts. 143 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT23 CONCEPT A ͳ COMMUNITY PARK PARKWIDE FEATURES: • Bird Watching • Boardwalk Trail • Information Station • Interpretive Signage • Trail • Food Truck Staging • Public Art • Orchard • Community Garden • Zipline • Pump Track • Ranger Residence • Parking • Restroom • Sidewalks COMMUNITY PARK A lively, activity-rich community park brings people together through recreation and shared outdoor spaces.

Community members were invited to react to potential park amenities, programming, and the two preliminary concepts, and to share their thoughts directly with the project team. The goal was to understand which elements resonated most with residents across all ages, backgrounds, and engagement formats. The intention was not to select a single concept, but to identify community priorities that would shape a final plan reflecting local needs and expectations. HOW FEEDBACK WAS COLLECTED Community input was gathered through a combination of in-person and online methods: • Dot-exercise voting at community events and pop- ups • Written comments collected during in-person engagement • A public webinar and Q&A • An online survey via the City’s YourVoice platform • Additional comments submitted by email and through the project webpage Concept A Concept B Votes COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ͳ PHASE 2 146 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT26 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ͳ PHASE 2 PHASE 2 ONLINE VOTES Community Garden Outdoor Classroom Community Lawn Information Station Interpretive Signage Picnic Pavilion Event Center Food Truck Art Viewing Platform Pond Exercise Stations Traditional Playground Nature Playground Zipline Bird Watching Boardwalk Trail Pump Track Tennis / Pickleball Court Basketball / Futsol Court Themed Trail Trail Native Plant Garden Security Improvements Water Feature Dog Area Park Ranger Fencing Votes Concept A Concept B Both WORD CLOUD — A VISUAL SUMMARY OF THE COMMUNITY’S TOP PRIORITIES. 147 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT27 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ͳ PHASE 2 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS Phase 2 generated the strongest engagement response of the entire process, demonstrating that the outreach approach successfully reached the surrounding community. Across in-person events, school-based activities, pop-ups, and the online questionnaire, the project team received hundreds of comments, over a thousand dot votes, and dozens of online responses and emails. This volume of feedback affirmed that residents were deeply invested in shaping the future of the park. In-person engagement proved especially impactful, allowing the project team to connect directly with families, students, seniors, and neighbors. These conversations provided valuable context behind people’s choices, reinforced community needs, and helped clarify priorities across all demographics. Together, this feedback provided a strong foundation for refining the initial concepts into a preferred concept that reflects community values, supports cultural identity, and aligns with the City’s long-term stewardship goals. Public engagement efforts collected a total of 320 Post-It Notes, 41 Online Responses, and 1,072 Dots.

This stage involved synthesizing community priorities with the City’s operational, regulatory, and long-term stewardship requirements to shape a concept that is realistic, safe, and buildable. COMMUNITY FEEDBACK Feedback from Phase 2 highlighted strong community preferences for: • Nature-forward design and habitat protection • Trails and accessible connections • Safe and welcoming park access • Play areas and gathering spaces • Visibility, safety and inclusive amenities This feedback guided the refinement of each major design component. CITY PRIORITIES & REQUIREMENTS To ensure long-term functionality and safety, the City identified several key priorities: • Adequate parking for daily use and special events • Safe, intuitive site access along Talbot Road S • Frontage improvements and sidewalks • Clear sightlines and eyes on the park • Maintenance and utility access • ADA-compliant circulation throughout the site • Minimizing impacts within critical area buffers These requirements helped shape decisions on placement, scale, and feasibility. CONCEPT FEASIBILITY DISCUSSIONS As the preferred concept took shape, City staff reviewed early sketches and layouts to provide input on safety, operations, and long-term maintenance. The project team also evaluated the full range of community and stakeholder feedback to determine how best to meet community needs while protecting the site’s natural systems. Through this process, the team identified where community preferences aligned with site conditions and City requirements, and where adjustments were needed to ensure the plan was feasible and sustainable. STAKEHOLDER SITE VISIT The Parks & Recreation team walked the site with the design team to: • Review conceptual sketches • Understand terrain, slopes, hydrology, and buffer conditions • Discuss operations and maintenance needs • Test ADA routes and potential grading adjustments The design team also conducted additional site walks to refine alignments and confirm spatial relationships with on-the-ground conditions. MULTIͳDEPARTMENT COORDINATION Meetings with Utilities, Planning, and Transportation Divisions provided critical technical guidance on: • Frontage improvements and sidewalks • Traffic calming and access locations • Utility extensions • Critical area buffers and regulatory compliance • Stormwater management considerations This coordination ensured the preferred concept aligns with City standards and long-term operational needs. 149 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT29 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ͳ PHASE 3 NEXT STEPS IN PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT The preferred concept will be presented to the community through the project website, advertised through multiple-channels, and at future engagement events. Throughout the engagement procress, the City Council's Community Services Committee has been briefed on the project progress. The Final Master Plan will ultimately be adopted by this Council Committee. These touchpoints will give residents and stakeholders an opportunity to review the refined concept and provide additional input as the project moves from concept toward documentation. The plan will also be shared with grant agencies and potential partners to support future funding and collaboration. While this master plan primarily focuses on the physical design and built elements of the park, community engagement eff orts also highlighted strong interest in a range of future programs and acƟ viƟ es. Feedback emphasized opportuniƟ es such as aŌ er-school nature clubs, a tool-lending library, fi eld trips, and hands-on nature and gardening educaƟ on. Although these programmaƟ c ideas are not prescribed within the scope of the master plan, the proposed design framework is intended to support and enable such uses over Ɵ me by providing fl exible spaces, access to natural areas, and infrastructure that can accommodate evolving City Parks Department and community-led programming. FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INPUT Additional opportunities for feedback will continue as the project advances into construction documents and detailed design, particularly for key elements such as the playground and gathering spaces. The community will also be engaged as the City coordinates permitting, utility extensions, and engineering work to ensure the design reflects both community priorities and technical requirements. PROJECT SITE VISIT 150 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT30 OVERVIEW The Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan was developed through an iteraƟ ve design process integraƟ ng community prioriƟ es, site constraints, and coordinaƟ on with City stakeholders. Community feedback gathered during Phase 1 and Phase 2 informed each design iteraƟ on, shaping overall program direcƟ on, park character, and user experience. Phase 3 builds on this work and focuses on refi ning the concepts into a single preferred concept. Concept Refi nement Guided by community feedback, the design team refi ned the design concepts into a single preferred approach. Layout opƟ ons were evaluated against environmental constraints, access and circulaƟ on needs, grading, drainage, uƟ liƟ es, and long-term maintenance consideraƟ ons, with the goal of minimizing environmental impacts, preserving the site’s natural character, and supporƟ ng community use and gathering. Access & Technical Studies Through coordinaƟ on with the City’s Parks, Planning, TransportaƟ on, and Fire departments, the design team evaluated park access, circulaƟ on, parking, emergency access, and service needs. This coordinaƟ on helped confi rm feasible access locaƟ ons and informed how infrastructure and operaƟ onal requirements infl uenced the overall park layout. Grading & ADA TesƟ ng Technical studies were undertaken to evaluate grading, ADA accessibility, and circulaƟ on across the site’s varied topography. These studies informed pathway alignments, amenity placement, and verƟ cal relaƟ onships between the entry, parking areas, and lower fi elds, ensuring accessible connecƟ ons while minimizing grading and environmental disturbance. Program Refi nements Park ameniƟ es and program elements were further refi ned to balance nature-based recreaƟ on with community-serving features. Elements from both design concepts were incorporated where they improved funcƟ onality, access, or community benefi t. Refi nements focused on visibility, proximity to parking, operaƟ onal needs, and long-term maintenance consideraƟ ons. Preferred Concept The preferred concept represents a synthesis of community input, site condiƟ ons, and technical evaluaƟ on developed through ongoing City coordinaƟ on. Together, these steps informed a master plan that responds to the site’s natural character, history, and context, supports inclusive access, and balances environmental stewardship with meaningful public use, as illustrated in the following pages.

Wetlands, streams, and topography defi ne where development can occur and where it should be avoided, resulƟ ng in a design approach that minimizes disturbance and concentrates improvements in areas best suited to accommodate use. Pathways and trails follow the natural contours of the land, reducing disturbance while allowing visitors to move comfortably through the site. Accessibility was a primary design driver, resulƟ ng in a network of ADA-compliant pathways and boardwalks that provide access across much of the park, including through the weƩ er core of the property. Safe vehicular and pedestrian access from Talbot Road S is another key consideraƟ on, supporƟ ng parking, uƟ liƟ es, sidewalks, and traffi c-calming improvements needed for long-term park funcƟ onality. Stormwater management is integrated into the landscape using a low-impact development approach that emphasizes dispersion, treatment, and reduced runoff volumes. Grading is limited to what is necessary to support accessibility, circulaƟ on, and key ameniƟ es, while permeable paving and green infrastructure manage water onsite. Together, these elements refl ect a site-specifi c design response that works with the land—allowing the site’s natural character to guide the park’s form, layout, and visitor experience. DESIGN PROCESS 152 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT32 PARK AMENITY LAYOUTS & RELATIONSHIPS A series of diagrams was used to test and refi ne the locaƟ on and relaƟ onships of key park ameniƟ es— including the playground, picnic pavilion, restroom, community garden, and orchard—throughout development of the master plan. These studies helped evaluate how grading, circulaƟ on, and access funcƟ on together, parƟ cularly at the park entry where the site drops from the upper parking and house area to the fi elds below. This verƟ cal relaƟ onship informed how visitors enter the park, move between levels, and access ameniƟ es while maintaining ADA-compliant routes and accommodaƟ ng maintenance vehicles. The diagrams also guided decisions about amenity placement by prioriƟ zing visibility, safety, and ease of access. Key ameniƟ es are clustered near the house and primary parking area to maintain clear sightlines from the park entry and simplify uƟ lity connecƟ ons and long-term maintenance. The restroom, playground, and picnic pavilion are located in close proximity to support shared use and event funcƟ onality, while the community garden, orchard, naƟ ve plant areas, pollinator habitat, and beehive staging are grouped together to support shared infrastructure, stewardship, and educaƟ onal opportuniƟ es. FRONTAGE IMPROVEMENTS Frontage improvements along Talbot Road S are a key consideraƟ on for long-term park access, safety, and connecƟ vity. CoordinaƟ on with the City of Renton to date has idenƟ fi ed a preferred concept that includes a sidewalk, planƟ ng strip, and bike lane, with the sidewalk recognized as the highest priority improvement. These elements are intended to improve pedestrian safety and access to the park while responding to community concerns about speeding and walkability. The proposed design aligns with the 2019 Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan. Tra ffi c calming measures—such as enhanced crossings or other intersecƟ on treatments—have also been discussed at a conceptual level; however, the feasibility, scope, and Ɵ ming of these improvements will depend on available funding and further coordinaƟ on with the Public Works - TransportaƟ on Division. Talbot Road S also funcƟ ons as a primary uƟ lity corridor for the park, with potenƟ al extensions of water, sewer, power, and communicaƟ ons infrastructure required to serve proposed ameniƟ es. UƟ lity rouƟ ng and provider coordinaƟ on, including potenƟ al involvement of Soos Creek Water & Sewer District, will be evaluated during future design phases. AddiƟ onal consideraƟ ons include stormwater management associated with roadway and frontage improvements. Preliminary discussions have idenƟ fi ed the northeast corner of the property as a potenƟ al locaƟ on for roadway-related stormwater infrastructure, subject to further study and regulatory coordinaƟ on.

The potenƟ al conƟ nued use of the exisƟ ng farmhouse as a ranger residence is a key component of both safety and maintenance, providing an on-site presence that supports stewardship, monitoring, and community confi dence. AcƟ ve uses and gathering areas are clustered near the park entry and parking area to maintain visibility and natural surveillance, while pathways are designed to be intuiƟ ve and avoid isolated condiƟ ons where possible. Boardwalks, trail crossings, and access points are aligned to safely navigate wetlands and streams while maintaining clear sightlines. AddiƟ onal safety consideraƟ ons include pedestrian- scale lighƟ ng, emergency call staƟ ons, a gate located at the main parking lot, and controlled access at the 92nd Avenue S entry, which is intended to remain limited to pedestrian, service, and emergency use. Ongoing coordinaƟ on with neighbors and City staff will be important to ensure this access point is secure, monitored, and responsive to neighborhood concerns. MAINTENANCE Maintenance consideraƟ ons were integrated early to support long-term stewardship of the park given its size, ecological sensiƟ vity, and variety of ameniƟ es. Overall, park durability, vandal-resistance, and ease of maintenance – and long-term maintenance will be key consideraƟ ons. Management of invasive species—parƟ cularly blackberry—will be a signifi cant ongoing challenge and opportunity. The master plan anƟ cipates a combinaƟ on of approaches, including phased removal, reestablishment of naƟ ve vegetaƟ on, and potenƟ al partnerships with community groups or environmental organizaƟ ons to support stewardship and restoraƟ on eff orts. Durable, vandal-resistant materials and low- maintenance ameniƟ es are prioriƟ zed throughout the park to reduce long-term repair and replacement needs. PlanƟ ng strategies emphasize naƟ ve and adapƟ ve species suited to site condiƟ ons to minimize irrigaƟ on, mowing, and ongoing landscape maintenance. Access for maintenance vehicles was a key driver, with primary circulaƟ on routes and boardwalks designed to accommodate small maintenance equipment where feasible. Clustering of ameniƟ es near the primary entry and parking area further supports effi cient access for operaƟ ons, uƟ liƟ es, and servicing. On-site storage for community garden tools, light park maintenance equipment, and a small tractor is also a consideraƟ on, with potenƟ al use of the exisƟ ng farmhouse garage or a separate maintenance shed. PHASING The Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan is intended to be implemented in phases to align with available funding, permiƫ ng requirements, and operaƟ onal capacity. An iniƟ al phase will focus on safely opening the site for public use, consistent with prior grant commitments, and is anƟ cipated to prioriƟ ze primary vehicular and pedestrian access, the parking area, core pathways, and essenƟ al ameniƟ es such as restrooms. Subsequent phases may include the playground, picnic shelter, and supporƟ ng gathering spaces, followed by community-focused ameniƟ es such as the community garden, orchard, pavilion, and community lawn as funding allows. Trail improvements will be phased over Ɵ me, with iniƟ al emphasis on establishing site access and circulaƟ on, and later phases allowing for expansion of the hiking trail, themed woodland trail, and addiƟ onal interpreƟ ve elements. This phased approach provides fl exibility to respond to funding opportuniƟ es while ensuring each phase funcƟ ons independently and supports the park’s long-term vision. DESIGN PROCESS 154 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT34 PRIMARY PARK ACCESS & ACTIVITY AREA The Primary Park Access & AcƟ vity Area funcƟ ons as the central organizing hub of Cleveland-Richardson Park, bringing together the park’s primary arrival, circulaƟ on, and acƟ vity spaces. This area concentrates the most acƟ ve uses—including parking and access, the playground, community garden and orchard, community lawn, and supporƟ ng ameniƟ es—within a cohesive framework that balances accessibility, recreaƟ on, learning, and environmental stewardship. Arrival from Talbot Road S is marked by a clear park entry and overlook that provides orientaƟ on and a visual connecƟ on to the landscape beyond. From this point, a network of accessible pathways distributes visitors throughout the park, connecƟ ng the parking area to the playground and support faciliƟ es, as well as to the community lawn, orchard, and garden areas. Pathways are arranged to support intuiƟ ve circulaƟ on while also creaƟ ng opportuniƟ es to slow down, pause, and engage with views, planƟ ng, and natural features. The preferred concept replaces the exisƟ ng pond with a constructed wetland, improving site circulaƟ on, safety, and ecological funcƟ on while reinforcing the park’s idenƟ ty as a landscape shaped by water and seasonal change. Adjacent seaƟ ng areas, informal gathering spaces, and nature-based play features are integrated into this area to support observaƟ on, exploraƟ on, and everyday use without compromising sensiƟ ve resources. Overall, this area of the park is envisioned as a fl exible, welcoming, and highly visible part of the park— capable of supporƟ ng daily neighborhood use as well as larger community gatherings. The design works with the site’s natural topography and agricultural history to create a place where movement, play, learning, and stewardship are closely connected to the surrounding Pacifi c Northwest landscape.

The lower Ɵ er accommodates the primary play area, including the zipline, while an upper terrace provides a picnic pavilion, restrooms, seaƟ ng, and access to embankment slides that connect directly to the play zone below. The playground is designed to serve a range of ages and abiliƟ es and is framed by seaƟ ng and informal gathering areas that support supervision, social interacƟ on, and fl exible use by caregivers and families. PARKING LOT & SITE ACCESS The master plan proposes site enhancements for pedestrians and vehicles to improve accessibility, safety, and visitor experience. Access along Talbot Road S will be improved through coordinaƟ on with the City of Renton’s TransportaƟ on Department, including sidewalks that provide safe pedestrian routes to the park. Vehicular access is located adjacent to the exisƟ ng farmhouse, while access from the 92nd Avenue S neighborhood will be limited to pedestrians, service vehicles, and emergency access to prioriƟ ze neighborhood safety and minimize traffi c impacts. An ADA-accessible parking lot with approximately 67 spaces is proposed to serve daily use and special events. The parking area is designed to accommodate school buses, service vehicles, and food trucks, while providing access to the park’s interior and primary gathering areas. A reinforced turf overfl ow parking area is also proposed to support larger events. Early design studies explored retaining the exisƟ ng pond adjacent to the parking area; however, this confi guraƟ on constrained vehicle circulaƟ on, reduced parking capacity, and resulted in substandard turning radii. Pedestrian access also required visitors to walk around the pond to enter the park, creaƟ ng poor sightlines and safety concerns. The master plan proposes replacing the pond with a constructed wetland to resolve these issues and allow for a funcƟ onal parking layout, appropriate vehicle circulaƟ on, and clear visibility into the park, while enhancing habitat funcƟ on.

The master plan proposes a boardwalk trail to provide an elevated, ADA-accessible route through this area, allowing visitors to experience the landscape while avoiding impacts to wetlands and streams. The boardwalk creates a durable, all- season pathway that maintains natural hydrology and protects vegetaƟ on and soils, while also off ering opportuniƟ es to step off the main trail to pause, gather, refl ect, and connect with the surrounding natural environment. COMMUNITY GARDEN, ORCHARD & LAWN The master plan introduces a community garden, orchard, and fl exible community lawn as complementary features that refl ect the site’s agricultural history while supporƟ ng a wide range of contemporary uses. The community garden and orchard provide opportuniƟ es for gardening, orchard culƟ vaƟ on, beehive staging, and naƟ ve plant propagaƟ on—off ering residents a safe, accessible place to grow food, learn, and build long-term stewardship within a shared park seƫ ng. The adjacent fi eld is envisioned as a fl exible community lawn that accommodates large gatherings, community events, informal recreaƟ on, or quiet relaxaƟ on. Framed by a walking loop, this open space maintains a fi eld- like character that references the site’s agricultural past while adapƟ ng it for shared public use. Together, these spaces balance acƟ ve parƟ cipaƟ on and open-ended use, connecƟ ng visitors to both the land’s history and its evolving role as a community resource.

The master plan proposes maintaining this area as a largely naturalisƟ c pasture with a soŌ -surface crushed rock trail and minimal, unobtrusive ameniƟ es that allow visitors to enjoy the views without interrupƟ ng the character of the landscape. Adjacent to the fi eld, the evergreen forest provides an opportunity for a themed woodland trail, designed as a quiet, immersive experience and a unique desƟ naƟ on within the park. The West Field is accessed from 92nd Avenue S; however, as noted previously, this connecƟ on will be limited to pedestrian, service, and emergency access to avoid negaƟ ve impacts to the adjacent neighborhood. HIKING TRAIL A hiking trail is proposed from the upper West Field that descends the hillside to a former pasture that has been largely disconnected from the rest of the site. This new connecƟ on reopens access to a quieter, more remote porƟ on of the property and creates opportuniƟ es for environmental restoraƟ on, observaƟ on, and study in an area buff ered from higher park use. As the trail passes through the former pasture, it will cross two small streams using footbridges to avoid impacts to wetlands and stream channels. The trail then connects to a viewpoint overlooking Springbrook Creek and a small pasture with remnant fruit and walnut trees, before linking directly to the community lawn and orchard area. Together, this hiking trail expands access to previously underuƟ lized areas of the site and serves as a key segment in establishing a conƟ nuous, walkable loop around the park.

Renovation of the existing farmhouse is estimated separately and varies depending on the selected reuse option, with costs ranging from approximately $1.2 million to $3.7 million. Combined, the total project cost is therefore anticipated to range from approximately $9.9 million to $12.4 million. The project is anticipated to be implemented in phases, allowing construction to proceed incrementally as funding becomes available. All cost estimates are based on Q1 2026 construction pricing and assume an average annual construction cost inflation rate of approximately 5 percent beyond 2026. Costs should be updated as design advances to reflect current market conditions. 161 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT41 PARTIV OTHER CONSIDERATIONS REGULATORY FRAMEWORK & PERMITTING PLANNING INFORMATION FUNDING & GRANTS 162 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT42 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK & PERMITTING OVERVIEW Future development of Cleveland-Richardson Park will require compliance with local, state, and—if triggered—federal permitting requirements. Because the site contains wetlands, streams, fish and wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas (HCAs), steep slopes, and archaeological sensitivity, early coordination with City of Renton staff and regulatory agencies will be essential as design progresses. The following summarizes anticipated approvals based on current data, including the Critical Areas Report, preliminary geotechnical study, and master plan concepts. CRITICAL AREAS (CITY OF RENTON) The site contains regulated critical areas, including wetlands, streams, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas (HCAs), and geologically hazardous areas such as steep slopes and erosion hazard areas. All critical areas are regulated under the City of Renton’s Critical Areas Ordinance (RMC 4-3-050), and proposed site work will be subject to City review. Activities that avoid impacts to wetlands, streams, buffers, HCAs, and geologically hazardous areas may qualify for a Critical Areas Exemption. Work within or adjacent to regulated critical areas will require Critical Areas Review and, where applicable, mitigation and avoidance or minimization measures. The City of Renton is currently updating the Critical Areas Ordinance (Ordinance No. 6179). A design- level critical areas evaluation will be completed early in the design process and will be consistent with the ordinance in effect at that time. Key requirements / considerations: • Critical Area Review is required for any buffer encroachments (e.g., trails, utilities, boardwalks) • Mitigation will be required for unavoidable impacts (restoration, enhancement, or buffer averaging) • No work is proposed within the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) of Type F streams; activities at or below the OHWM would trigger additional state-level permitting, including Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA), and potentially federal review. FISH & WILDLIFE HABITAT CONSERVATION AREAS (CITY OF RENTON) Springbrook Creek and other fish-bearing (Type F) streams on the site are designated Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas under RMC 4-3-050 and are subject to protective buffer requirements. Key requirements / considerations: • Work within HCA buffers—including trails, bridges, restoration, utilities, or limited site furnishings— will require City review and mitigation where impacts cannot be avoided. SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAM (CITY OF RENTON & WASHINGTON STATE) Springbrook Creek, within the limits of the project area, is not designated as a shoreline of the state under the Washington Shoreline Management Act (streams must have a mean annual flow ≥ 20 cfs to qualify). GEOLOGICALLY HAZARDOUS AREAS (CITY OF RENTON) Por Ɵ ons of the site are regulated as Geologically Hazardous Areas under Renton’s CriƟ cal Areas Ordinance (RMC 4-3-050), including mapped SensiƟ ve and Protected steep slopes and High Erosion Hazard areas. Work within or adjacent to these areas may require geotechnical review and City approval. The Preliminary Geotechnical Study provides planning- level guidance; site-specifi c recommendaƟ ons and setbacks will be refi ned during design. Key requirements / considerations: • Development, grading, or trail construction near steep slopes or erosion hazard areas may require geotechnical review to address slope stability, erosion control, and constructability. • Trails may be permitted within steep slope areas where supported by geotechnical recommendations for alignment, grading, and drainage. • Structures near steep slopes must comply with applicable setback requirements and may require specialized foundation or slope protection measures. 163 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT43 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK & PERMITTING ARCHAEOLOGICAL & CULTURAL RESOURCES (WASHINGTON STATE) The property lies within the traditional lands of Southern Coast Salish peoples and contains structures over 50 years old. Ground-disturbing work may require archaeological oversight and must comply with state requirements for archaeological sites, burial grounds, and historic cemeteries. Review will occur in coordination with the Washington Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation (DAHP) and affected Tribes. Requirements: • Preparation and implementation of an Inadvertent Discovery Plan (IDP) • Coordination with DAHP • Early consultation with affected Tribes during design • Targeted subsurface testing prior to construction, if warranted by funding or design A Section 106 review is required only if federal permits or federal funding create a federal nexus. BUILDING, ACCESSIBILITY, AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (CITY OF RENTON) Future buildings or significant renovations at Cleveland- Richardson Park—such as upgrades to the existing farmhouse or construction of restrooms, shelters, or maintenance facilities—will require review under the City of Renton’s Building, Fire, and Accessibility Codes. These regulations, adopted through Title IV of the Renton Municipal Code, implement the International Building Code (IBC), International Existing Building Code (IEBC), International Fire Code (IFC), Washington State Energy Code, and associated mechanical, plumbing, and electrical standards. These reviews occur within the broader permitting framework of Title IV, which governs all development, land use, and construction activity within the City of Renton to ensure public health, safety, accessibility, and structural performance. Anticipated permits and reviews include: • Building Permit – Required for new construction, additions, renovations, adaptive reuse, or structural modifications. • Fire and Life-Safety Review – Evaluation of fire protection systems, emergency access, and egress requirements in coordination with Renton Fire Prevention. • Accessibility Compliance – Accessible routes, entrances, restrooms, ramps, and other ADA- aligned features as required by State and City codes. Triggered when the function of a building changes or when improvements affect zoning or site development standards. Option A: Ranger Residence would generally not constitute a change of use. Option B: Day Use Workshop / Maintenance Facility and Option C: Visitor / Interpretive Center, as public or assembly-type uses, would likely be considered changes of use and require additional building, fire, accessibility, and life-safety review. • Energy Code Compliance – Buildings must meet applicable provisions of the Washington State Energy Code. CONSTRUCTION, GRADING, AND ROW PERMITS (CITY OF RENTON) In addition to building and accessibility permits, construction associated with the park will require City permits for grading, site development, demolition, utilities, and work within the public right-of-way. Anticipated permits include: • Demolition Permit – Required for removal of existing structures; may involve asbestos reporting, tree protection, and utility coordination. • Civil Construction Permit – Required for site work such as clearing, grading, pathways, utilities, stormwater facilities, and hard-surface installation. Typically applies when more than 50 cubic yards of grading, 500 square feet of disturbance, or 500 square feet of new hard surface is proposed. • Utility Permits – Required for new or modified water, sewer, stormwater, or electrical connections. • Right-of-Way (ROW) Permit – Required for frontage improvements, sidewalk work, excavation, or any construction activity within the public ROW, including associated stormwater improvements. 164 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT44 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK & PERMITTING UTILITIES & INFRASTRUCTURE (CITY OF RENTON & UTILITY PROVIDERS) Development of the park will require coordination with the City of Renton and applicable utility providers to confirm service availability, connection requirements, and infrastructure standards for water, sewer, stormwater, and electrical systems. Key coordination considerations include: • Confirmation of utility connection locations, capacities, and extension requirements. • Coordination with Renton Public Works, including the Transportation Systems Division and Stormwater Utility, for any required frontage or roadway improvements related to park access. • Avoidance and minimization of impacts to wetlands, streams, HCAs, and steep slopes when locating utilities and infrastructure. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT – SEPA (WASHINGTON STATE) The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requires local governments to evaluate potential environmental impacts before approving public projects. A SEPA Environmental Checklist will be required, supported by technical memos at 30% design. Determination of Significance/Non-Significance will depend on impacts to critical areas, traffic, noise, and cultural resources. Downstream reaches of Springbrook Creek are 303(d)- listed for certain impairments; this may influence how Ecology evaluates stormwater quality in SEPA review. WATER QUALITY & WETLAND/STREAM REVIEW (WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY) Future work involving removal of the existing pond (a regulated wetland) and re-routing of Stream A (a non– fish-bearing Type Np stream) may require coordination with the Washington Department of Ecology. Ecology’s role focuses on construction stormwater, water quality protection, and wetland/stream impacts when state or federal thresholds are met. Possible approvals include: • NPDES Construction Stormwater General Permit – Required when ≥1 acre of soil is disturbed. Includes a SWPPP, erosion and sediment control, and turbidity monitoring. • Section 401 Water Quality Certification – Required only if a federal permit (typically USACE Section 404) is triggered. If the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers declines jurisdiction—a likely scenario for isolated headwater wetlands and non-fish-bearing streams—Section 401 certification would not apply, but Ecology may still require state-level review or authorization for actions affecting wetland hydrology or water quality. HYDRAULIC PROJECT APPROVAL – HPA (WDFW – WASHINGTON STATE) An HPA from the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) is required for any project that uses, diverts, obstructs, or changes the natural flow or bed of waters of the state, regardless of federal permitting. Potential triggers for this project include: • Realignment or modification of Stream A • Installation or replacement of culverts • Bank stabilization or channel shaping • Any trail crossing or structure that places work below the OHWM FEDERAL PERMITTING (IF TRIGGERED) Federal permits would be required only if impacts meet federal jurisdiction thresholds or if federal funding introduces a federal nexus. Possible triggers: • Clean Water Act Section 404 (USACE) – if any wetland or stream is determined to be a Water of the U.S. • Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification (administered by Ecology) – accompanies Section 404. • ESA Section 7 consultation – if federally listed species may be affected and a federal permit is used • NEPA / Section 106 – only if a federal nexus (funding or permits) occurs 165 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT45 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK & PERMITTING CITY OF KENT COORDINATION (LIMITED SCOPE) A small portion of the Cleveland–Richardson Park property extends into the City of Kent. Proposed improvements within Kent city limits are limited to a low-impact forest trail segment. As design advances, limited coordination with the City of Kent may be required to confirm applicable permitting requirements for trail construction within Kent jurisdiction. PLANNING INFORMATION OVERVIEW The master planning of Cleveland-Richardson Park is informed by a coordinated set of Citywide policies and plans that address transportaƟ on, parks and recreaƟ on, trails, and neighborhood connecƟ vity. Together, these documents help guide how the City of Renton plans for mulƟ modal transportaƟ on systems, expands access to parks and open space, improves pedestrian and bicycle connecƟ vity, and prioriƟ zes equitable investments in underserved areas of the city. As the park evolves over Ɵ me, these planning eff orts will conƟ nue to serve as reference documents to ensure that future park improvements remain consistent with the City’s broader goals and coordinated planning iniƟ aƟ ves, while responding to changing community needs and opportuniƟ es. PARKS, RECREATION, OPEN SPACE, AND TRAILS ΈPROS PLANΉ The PROS Plan is Renton’s long-range strategy for parks, recreaƟ on, natural areas, open space, and trails, updated every six years to respond to changing community needs. It begins with an assessment of the exisƟ ng park system, recreaƟ on programs, funding sources, and service gaps, informed by both a comprehensive faciliƟ es inventory and extensive community engagement—including surveys, interacƟ ve mapping tools, and outreach events. The plan’s mission is to ensure equitable access to high- quality parks and recreaƟ on opportuniƟ es while protecƟ ng natural and cultural resources. Key prioriƟ es include addressing service gaps, improving and maintaining exisƟ ng faciliƟ es, expanding trails and open space, and updaƟ ng the Tri-Park area (Liberty Park, Cedar River Park, and the adjacent natural area) to beƩ er support community use. The plan also evaluates funding strategies—including a potenƟ al parks bond—and establishes a prioriƟ zed list of capital improvements to guide future investment. The City fi nalized the 2026 PROS Plan in January 2026, this PROS Plan will build on these prioriƟ es and further guide long-term decision-making for Renton’s parks and recreaƟ on system. Ongoing informaƟ on and updates are available through the City’s public engagement website: hƩ ps://yourvoice.rentonwa.gov/pros TRAILS & BICYCLE MASTER PLAN The Trails and Bicycle Master Plan establishes a long- term vision for an integrated, citywide network that serves both recreational and transportation purposes. The plan focuses on connecting neighborhoods to key destinations such as parks, schools, transit centers, employment areas, and regional trail systems. It evaluates existing facilities, identifies gaps— particularly in low-traffic-stress routes—and proposes expansion of the network from approximately 30 miles of existing trails and bikeways to roughly 127 miles within the city limits, with additional regional connections beyond Renton. The plan includes system goals, facility typologies and design guidance, and project prioritization criteria that emphasize connectivity, safety, equity, and feasibility. Recommended improvements include neighborhood greenways, shared-use paths, protected or separated facilities where appropriate, and targeted investments in underserved areas. Implementation is intended to occur through phased project delivery, coordinated funding strategies, interagency partnerships, and continued community engagement.166 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT46 PLANNING INFORMATION CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ͳ TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT The TransportaƟ on Element of the City of Renton Comprehensive Plan establishes a vision for a safe, connected, and sustainable mulƟ modal transportaƟ on system that supports future growth and community needs. It is prepared in accordance with the Washington State Growth Management Act and coordinated with regional planning eff orts through the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). The element addresses planning, design, operaƟ on, and maintenance of the City’s transportaƟ on system, including streets, sidewalks, trails, transit faciliƟ es, and freight routes, and emphasizes coordinaƟ on between transportaƟ on investments and land use growth. Key objecƟ ves include improving safety, addressing congesƟ on, closing gaps in pedestrian and bicycle networks, and expanding mulƟ modal access for residents, employees, and visitors. The TransportaƟ on Element also outlines strategies related to transportaƟ on demand management, system preservaƟ on, and long-term funding, including projects programmed through the City’s Six-Year TransportaƟ on Improvement Program (TIP). The City is currently updaƟ ng this element to address modeling and policy requirements associated with PSRC review, with fi nal cerƟ fi caƟ on anƟ cipated by the end of 2025. SOUTH RENTON / TALBOT AREA TRANSPORTATION PLANNING Planning for transportaƟ on improvements in South Renton and along the Talbot Road corridor is occurring through a combinaƟ on of corridor-specifi c capital projects, comprehensive planning policies, and site- related improvements, rather than through a single consolidated corridor plan. This area serves as an important connecƟ on between downtown Renton, major arterials, and surrounding neighborhoods and has been idenƟ fi ed as a focus area for improving safety, accessibility, and mulƟ modal connecƟ vity. Key eff orts include projects such as the South 7th Street Corridor Improvements, which support enhanced pedestrian and bicycle connecƟ ons into downtown Renton, as well as planned sidewalk, crossing, and frontage improvements along Talbot Road South associated with adjacent development and park planning eff orts. These projects typically include new or upgraded sidewalks, ADA-compliant faciliƟ es, improved crossings, and associated stormwater and drainage upgrades. Planning and design in this area also account for environmental constraints, including steep slopes and creek corridors, while seeking to improve neighborhood livability and equitable access to transportaƟ on infrastructure. CollecƟ vely, these improvements are intended to balance traffi c operaƟ ons with safety, sustainability, and improved walking and biking condiƟ ons for the surrounding community. 167 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT47 FUNDING AND GRANTS OVERVIEW Future implementaƟ on of the Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan will benefi t from a diversifi ed funding strategy. Given the site includes important natural resources—wetlands, streams, and cultural landscapes—while also providing opportuniƟ es for trails, passive recreaƟ on, environmental educaƟ on, and community gathering, the project aligns well with a range of compeƟ Ɵ ve grant programs. Furthermore, the park’s emphasis on habitat restoraƟ on, nature- forward recreaƟ on, community health, and equitable access for the surrounding underserved Talbot and Benson neighborhoods posiƟ ons it strongly for local and regional grant funding. In parƟ cular, programs that support passive recreaƟ on, trail development, habitat, stewardship, community agriculture, and water-quality align directly the master plan. The following secƟ on summarizes the most applicable funding opportuniƟ es. LOCAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES King County Parks Levy – Healthy CommuniƟ es & Parks Fund (HCPF) Supports projects that improve equitable access to parks, trails, nature, and community health. King County Water Quality (WaterWorks) Grant Supports projects that improve water quality and restore habitat within King County watersheds. A strong fi t for wetland, stream, and riparian restoraƟ on. King County CooperaƟ ve Watershed Management (CWM) Grants Funds habitat restoraƟ on in riparian, wetland, and buff er areas. Strong fi t for invasive removal, naƟ ve planƟ ng, and buff er-level restoraƟ on along Springbrook Creek and its tributary streams. 4Culture (King County) Supports cultural interpretaƟ on, historic building preservaƟ on, and public art. Applicable if the City retains or adapƟ vely reuses the farmhouse or incorporates interpreƟ ve storytelling into the park. City of Kent Partnership Funding (If Applicable) Depending on the jurisdicƟ onal boundary, improvements within Kent may qualify for cost-sharing or partnership funding. King ConservaƟ on District (KCD) KCD off ers grants that support community agriculture, naƟ ve habitat restoraƟ on, invasive species removal, and community-led stewardship—acƟ viƟ es well aligned with the park’s orchard concept, buff er restoraƟ on, and long-term ecological care. Several programs apply: • Community Agriculture Program – supports community gardens, orchards, food-resiliency iniƟ aƟ ves. • Stewardship & Habitat Funding – supports volunteer stewardship, invasive species management, and naƟ ve habitat restoraƟ on. • Member JurisdicƟ on Grants – fl exible funding for community-driven open space and environmental projects. STATE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES ΈWASHINGTON STATE RECREATION AND CONSERVATION OFFICE ͳ RCOΉ Local Parks - Washington Wildlife & RecreaƟ on Program (WWRP) Supports park development, passive recreaƟ on, play areas, trails, and community-serving ameniƟ es. Trails - WWRP Applicable to boardwalks, nature trails, and mulƟ - surface pathways. Natural Areas / CriƟ cal Habitat - WWRP Funding may apply to buff er enhancement, restoraƟ on, and ecological protecƟ on outside the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM). AquaƟ c Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA) Funding may apply to buff er enhancement, restoraƟ on, and ecological protecƟ on outside OHWM. RecreaƟ onal Trails Program (RTP) Federal pass-through funds for trail construcƟ on, bridges, boardwalks, and ADA trail upgrades. Ecology - Terry Husseman Account Supports locally sponsored projects that restore or enhance water quality, stream buff ers, and riparian vegetaƟ on.168 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT48 FUNDING AND GRANTS FEDERAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES America the BeauƟ ful Challenge - NaƟ onal Fish and Wildlife FoundaƟ on (NFWF) Supports community access, habitat, and resiliency projects. NFWF Stewardship Programs Supports invasive species management, naƟ ve planƟ ngs, and community-led habitat enhancement. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) – North American Wetlands ConservaƟ on Act (NAWCA) CompeƟ Ɵ ve; supports wetland enhancement and associated habitat restoraƟ on. Possible but less aligned unless hydrologic modifi caƟ on or signifi cant wetland restoraƟ on occurs. NaƟ onal Wildlife FederaƟ on – WaterSMART AquaƟ c Ecosystem RestoraƟ on Typically supports large-scale hydrologic restoraƟ on; low likelihood unless project evolves to include major stream realignment or fl oodplain work. Note: Federal funding can trigger NEPA/SecƟ on 106 review. PERIPHERAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES These programs may become relevant if future phases of the project expand to include hydrologic, cultural, or large-scale ecological restoraƟ on components. While not a primary fi t for the current scope, they are worthwhile to monitor as the project evolves. Land and Water ConservaƟ on Fund (LWCF) Eligible for park development but carries federal nexus and long-term use restricƟ ons that require careful consideraƟ on. King County ConservaƟ on Futures (CFT) Funds land acquisiƟ on and long-term open space protecƟ on only. Not applicable to park development. Relevant only if the City pursues addiƟ onal property acquisiƟ on adjacent to the park, making it a peripheral opportunity for this project. Puget Sound AcquisiƟ on & RestoraƟ on (PSAR) / Salmon Recovery Funding Board (SRFB) Strong alignment with in-channel salmon habitat restoraƟ on, which is not currently proposed but could become relevant if stream enhancement expands. WaterSMART (Bureau of ReclamaƟ on) Supports watershed-scale restoraƟ on or hydrologic improvements; applicability depends on future stream or fl oodplain modifi caƟ ons. North American Wetlands ConservaƟ on (USFWS) Most compeƟ Ɵ ve when wetland enhancement includes hydrologic modifi caƟ on or large-scale habitat restoraƟ on. 169 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT PARTV APPENDIX APPENDIX A.

What are your hopes or concerns for the future Cleveland-Richardson Park? (Is there anything you’re excited or worried about?) I live on Talbot Rd. so I'm excited that there will be a park we can access within walking distance. It would be nice if there were sidewalks so families can walk there safely What kind of features, spaces, or activities would you like to see in the new park? (Think about who will use the park—yourself, your family, your neighbors, and the community.) A playground for kids. I think the property used to be a trout farm where you could catch and release. It would be cool if they added a little dock that you can stand by the water and possibly fish from if that's allowed. Or just look at the wildlife. Maybe an undercover area with a table and benches for an outdoor picnic/ party area. There could be an off-leash dog park in the back. It would be nice to have a walking trail winding through the different "areas", keeping that botanical garden vibe. You can walk around and get your steps in, enjoy the nature, and still have areas that serve your family whether it's a playground for your kids or space for your dog to run freely. In the next phase, we’ll share design ideas and ask for feedback. What questions do you have about the project that we can answer then? I will just have to wait and see all the ideas!

What are your hopes or concerns for the future Cleveland-Richardson Park? (Is there anything you’re excited or worried about?) I am very worried. My house is within Cleveland park. On a daily basis we experience wildlife including deer, coyotes, snakes, rabbits, etc. For years we have watched the wildlife grow. By creating a park you increase human traffic which will heavily affect the wildlife and increase the possibility of littering and pollution. I am very supportive of parks and recreation, however, the land would be better used as a wildlife conservation than a park. I'm begging you to please reconsider.

By creating a park you increase human traffic which will heavily affect the wildlife and increase the possibility of littering and pollution.

From: To: Subject: Date: Cleveland Richardson Park Monday, April 21, 2025 7:07:58 PM Hi Betsy, I think you may have spoken to my husband when you were driving at the end of our street, checking out the Park area. We ;;;;. We will actually, I'm sure,be moved before this happens. However our daughter and her husband are buying our house.Our daughter is going to try and come to your tent but, unfortunately, ;; and I will be out oftown. It would be wonderful to have a park down there and to be able to walk to it from ourneighborhood. However, as ;; mentioned to you, our main concern is cars racing down andparking at the end of the Street to get to it. So our question would be what would be done toencourage that only access for cars be off of Talbot Road. But I have another question. Whatwill be done to the current residents of the park? By which I mean the one and probably twocoyote dens that are there. We've lost a cat to them so I can't say I'm totally thrilled with thembeing there but it is there home and urban sprawl is just pushing animals out of their homesand if they were pushed out of that area, where would they go? I know I've researched a littleand it was said that if they were relocated to another place they just try to find their way backto their original home. I don't know but I think you're going to have to talk to some specialistsin this area. Thanks, ; &NBJMT 200 of 580 CAUTION: This email originated from outside the City of Renton.

From: To: Subject:Cleveland-Richardson Park project Date:Friday, April 18, 2025 9:45:52 AM Betsy Severtsen, I hope this message finds you well. My name is ;; owner of ;;, a working initiative rooted in Renton, focused on cultivating stronger families, engaged youth, and unified communities through cultural, educational, and outdoor programming. I’m writing to formally express my interest in becoming an active collaborator in the Cleveland-Richardson Park project—both in the development phase and through ongoing maintenance, communitypartnerships, and engagement. I had the pleasure of attending your presentation at ;;and left inspired by the vision and heart behind the park’s development. Whatstood out to me was the intentionality to create a space that uplifts thecommunity it’s meant to serve. That intention is at the core of everything weare honored to have with ;;. I would love to be considered not only as a community collaborator, but also as a groundskeeper for Cleveland-Richardson Park. This hands-on role would allow me to ensure the space is maintained with care and pride, while also opening doors to involve volunteers and potentially create paid opportunitiesfor others who share this same commitment. My hope is to help foster an environment that is clean, safe, beautiful, and regularly activated with programming that encourages outdoor exploration, cultural celebration, and community connection. ;;s mission aligns closely with the goals of Cleveland-Richardson Park. While our long-term vision includes securing land in EasternWashington to host seasonal camps and retreats, establishing a local hub righthere in Renton— where I live and am raising my three daughters—speaks to theheart of my commitment. This park represents more than just green space; itcan be a gathering ground for intergenerational healing, learning, joyfulconnection and community collaboration. I believe that together, we can create something that will not only honor the 201 of 580 legacy the park is named after, but also inspire and support the generations to come. I would be honored to meet and further discuss how ;; can play a role in this important work. Thank you for your time and consideration. ;; 202 of 580 CAUTION: This email originated from outside the City of Renton.

From:City of Renton To:Betsy Severtsen Subject:Anonymous User completed Design Concepts Feedback Date:Monday, September 1, 2025 5:46:12 PM Anonymous User just submitted the survey Design Concepts Feedback with the responses below. Which concept do you prefer overall? Plan A – Community Park What features do you most like in Plan A – Community Park? Many of the homes along Talbot south of Petrovitski/180th/43rd are townhouses, condos, or apartments. This means no "yards" or play areas for the kids that live there. A playground, sport courts, grass areas, and trails allow for these people to enjoy what kids and residents in other parts of the city get to enjoy. What features do you most like in Plan B – Nature Park? Trails throughout the park. Are there any features you would NOT want to see in the final park design? The outdoor classroom, while good intentioned, is not useful as it is not near any schools. The nearest school is actually a Kent elementary school and not a Renton school. What else would make this park feel welcoming and useful to you and your family? loop trails (figure 8 or something similar) that allows access to some of the more remote or western parts of the park Which best describes you?

Idea on how to incorporate kids more into the nature concept, oƯering movie nights and lawn space for kid – community involvement. Lives closely and see lots of animals in the yard ƒ Terri : Agree that nature concept is preferred, it would keep quietness of the neighborhood. One of the concerns is traƯic and parking when people are trying to access walking trails, what will be done to counteract that x BS: The city has heard diƯerent things from neighborhoods (people want to block oƯ access completely because they are worried about people using the alterative access) Concerned about completely blocking oƯ access especially for emergency access since it would be diƯicult for an ambulance to get to the Western Ʊeld from Talbot entrance. x Question: public access from the city, not from neighborhood. How would the city deal with this. BS and the team are thinking over this issue and want to hear from other neighbors ƒ Marko: People are concerned about access point and cars parking. Have the city considered gating it oƯ and providing the neighborhood with the code. x BS shared about a park with ADA access code in Snohomish County, will look into this. ƒ Q: could the parking issue be resolved with permit parking on streets only (permit allowed to neighbors) x BS: Will follow up with the Transportation team. Not sure if such parking exists in Renton currently, if not, likely require Code update. ƒ Lori: Does not live in area but loves park and interested in what the city will do with this area. If she lived in area, would pick the nature, assuming that people would bring the dogs. BS conƱrmed that most people would bring dogs, noted no oƯ-leash dog park area. Looks like great concept and people from other areas will want to visit the new park as well. 254 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT CLEVELANDͳ RICHARDSON PARK CULTURAL RESOURCES LITERATURE REPORT APPENDIX C. 255 of 580 REVISED FINAL CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON Cultural Resources Literature Review Prepared for February 2025 City of Renton 256 of 580 257 of 580 REVISED FINAL CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON Cultural Resources Literature Review Submitted to: Bruce Dees & Associates Prepared for City of Renton Prepared by Meagan Scott, M.U.P., and Sam Larson This report is exempt from public distribution and disclosure (RCW 42.56.300) ESA Project Number: D202400423.00 2801 Alaskan Way Suite 200 Seattle, WA 98121 206.789.9658 esassoc.com 258 of 580 Atlanta Bend Irvine Los Angeles Mobile Oakland Orlando Palm Beach County Pasadena Pensacola Petaluma Portland Rancho Cucamonga Sacramento San Diego San Francisco San Jose Sarasota Seattle Tampa Thousand Oaks 259 of 580 Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan i ESA / D202400423.00 Cultural Resources Literature Review February 2025 REVISED FINAL ABSTRACT Environmental Science Associates (ESA) was retained by Bruce Dees & Associates, on behalf of the City of Renton, to conduct a Cultural Resources Literature Review to support the development of a new Master Plan for the Cleveland-Richardson Park (Project). The City of Renton’s Parks and Recreation Department is in the process of developing a new park on land sold to the City with the purpose of conserving open space. For many decades, the land was a family farm, and the primary residence and some ancillary structures are extant; the City will keep the primary residence (and possibly some of the nonnatural features). The primary residence is located at 19415 Talbot Road S in King County on parcel numbers 7931000005, 7931000007, and 0622059128. Parcel 0622059128 is located in the City of Kent, while other two parcels are within the City of Renton. This phase of the Project does not include ground disturbance, and this Cultural Resources Literature Review has been conducted for due diligence. Later phases of the work, however, may include ground disturbance. The Project is located near the historic locations of the Black, Cedar, and White/Green rivers, and as such ESA considers the Project Area to have a moderate to high risk for precontact-era archaeological resources, and a high risk for post-contact-era archaeological resources, given the historic use of the land as a family farm. ESA also suggests possible uses for the extant resources that include use as a caretaker’s cottage, space for an artist- in-residence program, a farmers market space, and interpretive center. The authors of this report meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Archaeology and Architectural History. 260 of 580 Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan ii ESA / D202400423.00 Cultural Resources Literature Review February 2025 REVISED FINAL TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Abstract .................................................................................................................................. i 1.

INTRODUCTION Environmental Science Associates (ESA) was retained by Bruce Dees & Associates, on behalf of the City of Renton, to conduct a Cultural Resources Literature Review for the Cleveland- Richardson Park Master Plan (Project). The City of Renton is planning to convert a former family farm into a park, and in addition to the Cultural Resources Literature Review, Bruce Dees & Associates has requested recommendations regarding the potential for incorporating the extant resources into the park. 1.1 Project Location The Project is generally located at 19415 Talbot Road S in Section 6 of Township 22 North, Range 5 East, on the Renton, WA 7.5’ series topographic map (Figure 1). It is located on King County tax assessor parcel numbers 7931000005, 7931000007, and 0622059128. The western portion of the Project Area (parcel 0622059128) is located in the City of Kent, while the balance of the Project Area is in the City of Renton. 1.2 Proposed Project The City of Renton’s Parks and Recreation Department is in the process of developing a future park (the Cleveland-Richardson Park); the land was sold to the City by the Cleveland family with the purpose of conserving open space. The associated Master Plan will detail and map proposed site elements for recreation, trails, special features/interpretation, wayfinding, services (e.g., restrooms), a caretaker/maintenance facility (potentially using existing buildings), and protection and appreciation of natural/critical areas. Overall, the Master Plan will create a tangible vision and implementation strategy the City can use to: (1) develop the property into a recreational parkland consistent with current and future community needs; (2) steward and invest public funds; (3) apply for grant funding from local, state, and federal sources; and (4) balance developed recreation with environmental sustainability. 1.3 Regulatory Environment This Cultural Resources Literature Review is being undertaken as a part of due diligence to assist Bruce Dees & Associates, and the City of Renton Parks and Recreation Department, in better understanding the cultural context. This will help inform the Project and later development of the park. The Project is not currently subject to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106), or Washington State Governor’s Executive Order 21-02 (GEO 21-02). However, the eventual development of the park could be subject to these depending on permitting and/or funding. Additional laws that apply to archaeological projects conducted within the State of Washington include: Archaeological Sites and Resources (Revised Code of Washington [RCW] 27.53), Indian 264 of 580 1. Introduction Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan 2 ESA / D202400423.00 Cultural Resources Literature Review February 2025 REVISED FINAL Graves and Records (RCW 27.44), Human Remains (RCW 68.50), and Abandoned and Historic Cemeteries and Historic Graves (RCW 68.60). 1.4 Project Area The Project Area encompasses 23.7 acres across King County tax parcels 7931000005, 7931000007, and 0622059128, which is the assumed future location of the Cleveland-Richardson Park (Figure 2). The Project Area is accessed from Talbot Road S, and State Route (SR) 167 runs along the western border. Springbrook Creek runs through the northeast corner of the Project Area. The western portion (parcel 0622059128) is part of the City of Kent, while the balance is within the City of Renton. With the exception of the northwest corner, the Project Area has never been developed and was a small family farm for several decades. The surrounding area also once had multiple small farms, but the land was sold off and much of it subsequently turned into residential developments. 265 of 580 1.

PROJECT SETTING 2.1 Research Methodology This Project Setting was prepared using a 1-mile radius Study Area from the Project Area (Figure 1). ESA reviewed past cultural resources assessments, recorded archaeological sites, ethnographic studies, inventoried historic resources (buildings, districts, structures, objects, and sites), archival records (historical maps, aerial imagery, landowner records and census data, published histories), geological maps, soils surveys, and other environmental reports. These sources were reviewed to identify any cultural resources, including archaeological sites, cemeteries, and properties identified by tribes as having traditional religious and cultural importance or significance (also referred to as Traditional Cultural Places by the National Park Service), within the Project Area, and the probability for unrecorded resources, along with the area’s context of historic architecture. The following specific repositories were consulted: the Washington Information System for Architectural and Archaeological Records Data (WISAARD) database maintained by the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP), historic maps, records on file with the Washington Secretary of State, archival newspapers, and census records. ESA Architectural Historian Meagan Scott conducted a site visit on November 6, 2024, and conducted a brief reconnaissance of the Project Area to identify the presence of or potential for cultural resources. The visit also provided ESA with a better understanding of the site and its context to help provide recommendations for integrating the extant built environment resources into the Master Plan and future park. Multiple members of the Cleveland family were present during the site visit, and provided information about the area’s history and their memories. 2.2 Environmental Setting 2.2.1 Geomorphology The Project Area is located within the Puget Lowland physiographic province, a low-lying structural basin formed by the advance and retreat of glaciers during the Pleistocene epoch (2.58 million to 11,700 years ago). At least six times within the last two million years, glacial ice from Canada entered and then retreated from the Puget Lowland. During the most recent glacial period – the Vashon Stade (19,000 to 16,000 years ago) of the Fraser glaciation – the Puget lobe of the Cordilleran ice sheet overran the Puget Lowland and entered the Seattle area around 17,400 years ago (Booth et al. 2004). Meltwater shed from the prograding (advancing) glacial front eroded sediments laid down by earlier glaciations, redepositing these materials as advance outwash deposits. These typically sandy deposits were subsequently overridden and compacted by ice up to 2,500 feet thick (Thorson 1980), making them dense to very dense As the Cordilleran ice sheet subsequently retreated, meltwater inundated low-lying portions, depositing recessional outwash across much of the region. This resulted in the formation of 268 of 580 2. Project Setting Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan 6 ESA / D202400423.00 Cultural Resources Literature Review February 2025 REVISED FINAL extensive glacial lakes and deposition of lacustrine silts, until the retreating ice thinned enough to allow the meltwater to drain into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. In addition to isostatic rebound (tectonic uplift resulting from the removal of the massive weight of glacial ice), glacial till and recessional outwash plains were subject to other geomorphic changes following the retreat of glacial ice. These changes included stream incision, infilling of depressions, and mass movement events, such as landslides. The underlying geology of the Project Area consists of Fraser-age glacial deposits, including glacial outwash (Qgo on Figure 3) within the eastern portion of the Project Area, and glacial till (Qgt on Figure 3) within the western portion. Till material consists of poorly mixed sediment deposited as glaciers retreated, while the outwash consists primarily of stratified sand and gravel deposited by glacial meltwaters. Based on their ages and depositional environments, these geologic units have a very low sensitivity to contain buried archaeological deposits. The landform has not experienced substantial deposition since the end of the ice age. 2.2.2 Soils The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) maps soils within the Project Area as belonging predominantly to Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AgD and AgC on Figure 4), with a small area along SR 167 as belonging to Urban Land (Ur on Figure 4), and a pocket of mixed alluvial land (Ma on Figure 4) along the northern edge. The Alderwood series soil type consists of moderately deep, moderately well-drained soil that formed in glacial drift and outwash over dense glaciomarine deposits, on slopes between 0 and 65 percent (NRCS 2018). As this soil type forms within glacial deposits, archaeological materials would only be likely within the A horizon. The typical pedon (profile) of the Alderwood series consists of: • A horizon (0 to 7 inches/0 to 18 cm): Gravelly sandy loam (10YR 5/3) dry, very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) moist; moderate fine granular structure; slightly hard, very friable, slightly sticky and slightly plastic; many fine roots; 20 percent gravel; abrupt smooth boundary. • Bw1 horizon (7 to 21 inches/18 to 53 cm): Very gravelly sandy loam, yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) dry, dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) moist; weak medium subangular blocky structure; slightly hard, very friable, nonsticky and nonplastic; many fine roots; 35 percent gravel; clear wavy boundary. • Bw2 horizon (21 to 30 inches/53 to 76 cm): Very gravelly sandy loam, pale brown (10YR 6/3) dry, brown (10YR 4/3) moist; weak medium subangular blocky structure; slightly hard, very friable, nonsticky and nonplastic; common fine roots; 40 percent gravel; clear wavy boundary. • Bg horizon (30 to 35 inches/76 to 89 cm): Very gravelly sandy loam, light yellowish brown (2.5YR 6/4) dry, olive brown (10YR 5/2) moist; massive; slightly hard, very friable, nonsticky and nonplastic; few fine roots; masses of oxidized iron around rock fragments; 45 percent gravel; abrupt wavy boundary. 269 of 580 2. Project Setting Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan 7 ESA / D202400423.00 Cultural Resources Literature Review February 2025 REVISED FINAL • 2Cd1 horizon (35 to 43 inches/89 to 109 cm): Very gravelly sandy loam, light brownish gray (2.5YR 6/2) dry, dark grayish brown (2.5YR 4/2) moist; massive; extremely hard; extremely firm, nonsticky and nonplastic; few fine roots; iron-manganese masses and masses of oxidized iron in cracks; 40 percent gravel; abrupt irregular boundary. • 2Cd2 horizon (43 to 59 inches/109 to 150 cm): Dense glacial till that breaks to very gravelly sandy loam, light gray (2.5YR 7/2) dry, grayish brown (2.5YR 5/2) moist; massive; extremely hard; extremely firm, nonsticky and nonplastic; 40 percent gravel. Urban Land indicates that prior anthropogenic ground disturbance has disturbed or removed the natural soil sequence (NRCS 2019). Within the Project Area, this designation is associated with the massive amount of ground disturbance resulting from the construction of SR 167 located to the west. Due to the degree of ground disturbance, intact archaeological deposits are not expected within soils designated as Urban Land. Mixed alluvial land consists of various layers of alluvium that have been deposited by stream or river action (NRCS 2024). Within the Project Area, this soil designation is associated with the Springbrook Creek stream drainage, a marginally incised drainage located within the northern portion of the Project Area (Figure 4). Alluvial action has the potential to both erode and bury archaeological deposits. As such, there is an increased potential for deeply buried archaeological deposits within this portion of the Project Area. 2.2.3 Flora and Fauna The Project Area is situated within the Tsuga heterophylla vegetation zone, which encompasses much of Western Washington (Franklin and Dyrness 1988). Climax species within this vegetation zone are western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) and western redcedar (Thuja plicata). Other tree species common in this zone include Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), grand fir (Abies grandis), and Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), as well as western white pine (Pinus monitcola) and lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta). Black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa), red alder (Alnus rubra), and bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) occur in areas prone to disturbance, such as river and stream edges, and logged mature forests. In precontact times, the region contained faunal resources vital to native people, including terrestrial mammals, birds and waterfowl, fish, and shellfish. Native mammals include mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), elk (Cervus canadensis), beaver (Castor canadensis), river otter (Lutra canadensis), black bear (Ursus americanus), coyote (Canis latrans), cougar (Puma concolor), skunk (Mephitis mephitis), weasel (Mustela spp.), and muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus). Fish observed spawning in Springbrook Creek and its tributaries include coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), cutthroat trout (O. clarkii), and winter steelhead (O. mykiss) (King County 2016). 270 of 580 2.

The various chronological systems generally agree on broad patterns in culture but may differ regarding the timing and significance of changes in specific aspects of culture, such as subsistence, technology, and social organization. The following discussion of cultural-historical sequence draws broadly on the various chronologies, but follows Kopperl et al. (2016) by recognizing five periods, which are summarized in Table 1. The Late Pacific period overlaps slightly with the post-contact era as described below. TABLE 1. PRECONTACT PERIODS Period King County Analytic Period Approximate Date Range Characteristics Late Pacific 5 2,500 cal BP – 200 cal BP Represented by seasonal habitation areas associated with resource procurement and increased variability in burial methods. Site types include winter villages, base temporary habitation areas, field temporary habitation areas, resource gathering sites for hunting, fishing, plants, and quarry sources. Middle Pacific 4 5,000 cal BP – 2,500 cal BP Represented by large plank houses, increase in decorative items, woodworking tools (adzes, mauls, wedges). Site types include possible villages, base and field seasonal habitation areas, resource gathering sites for hunting, fishing, plants, and quarry sources. Early Pacific 3 8,000 cal BP – 5,000 cal BP Located in marine and estuary settings; represented by large shell middens and decorative artifacts such as labrets and bracelets. Site types include base and field seasonal habitation areas, and various resource gathering and non- residential sites. Archaic 2 12,000 cal BP – 8,000 cal BP Often referred to as Olcott culture and located in riverine and lake settings; represented by cobble tools and lanceolate projectile points. Site types include small base and field seasonal habitation areas, resource gathering, and quarry sites. Paleoindian 1 14,000 cal BP – 12,000 cal BP Often referred to as Clovis culture, represented by projectile points. This period represents post-glacial entry of humans into the Puget Sound basin. Site types include small seasonal habitation areas, resource gathering near those areas, and isolate finds. cal BP = calibrated years before the present; Source: Kopperl et al. 2016 Study Area No precontact-era archaeological sites have been recorded within the Study Area. There are, however, multiple named places between two and three miles from the Project Area along the Green River (formerly the White River; see Section 2.3.2), demonstrating the presence of Coast 273 of 580 2. Project Setting Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan 11 ESA / D202400423.00 Cultural Resources Literature Review February 2025 REVISED FINAL Salish people in the vicinity, which is also supported by archaeological evidence within the region. Beyond the Study Area, multiple Coast Salish settlements were once located near the confluences of the Green (White), Black, and Cedar rivers. Three precontact-era archaeological sites (approximately 3.5 miles from the Project Area) are associated with ethnographic villages along the Green River and the former channel of the Black River. These sites include 45KI51 (Sbabadid), 45KI59 (Tualdad Altu), and 45KI438 (Sqoa’lqo) (DAHP 2024a). 2.3.2 Post-contact and Historic Setting Overview Tribes hold complete knowledge of their history. The following section references published materials by Native scholars during the 20th and 21st centuries as available and non-Native people from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. The latter materials often do not present the full and accurate understanding of Tribal history and knowledge. The authors acknowledge that these sources inherently contain deficiencies, and use of them is not intended to substitute or supersede historic knowledge held within Tribes. This discussion presents a brief summary of cultural practices for the purposes of informing expectations regarding the presence of archaeological and other cultural resources within the Project Area. The Study Area and its vicinity are within the traditional lands of the Southern Coast Salish (Suttles and Lane 1990). Within the White and Green River valleys from the Cascades to present- day Kent, the Southern Coast Salish include: the stqábš / Stkamish (Lower White River people), the sbalxqʷuʔábš / Smulkamish (Upper White River people), the sqʷəpábš / Skopamish (Green River people), and the yilálqʷuʔabš / Yilalkoamish (near the confluence of the White and Green rivers) (Haeberlin and Gunther 1930; Spier 1936; Suttles and Lane 1990). The Green River flows into the Duwamish River within the territory of the neighboring dxʷdəwʔábš Duwamish (“people of the inside”) (Duwamish Tribe 2024; Haeberlin and Gunther 1930; Lane 1975; Spier 1936; Suttles and Lane 1990). While settlements tended to be independent, kinship relations existed and facilitated shared access to resources, such as fishing areas. Descendants of these groups at the time of Treaty signing are members of today’s non-federally recognized Duwamish Tribe, which is pursuing Federal recognition (Duwamish Tribe 2025a, 2025b), and the federally recognized bəqəlšuɬ Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, Snoqualmie Indian Tribe, Squaxin Island Tribe, Suquamish Tribe, and Tulalip Tribes, as well as other groups throughout the region through intermarriage (Miller 2014; Lane 1972a, 1972b, 1974, 1975a, 1975b, 1975c, 1988; Muckleshoot Indian Tribe 2024; Snoqualmie Indian Tribe 2025; Suttles and Lane 1990). The Study Area would have been used by above-mentioned groups, and likely nearby spuyaləpabš (Puyallup) and dxʷsqʷə’liabš (Nisqually) for seasonal resource gathering, all of whom share a common dialect of the Southern Lushootseed language (Suttles and Lane 1990:485). The traditional diet of Southern Coast Salish groups relies heavily on salmon for subsistence. Traditional village structures were typically cedar plank houses where communities aggregated at the close of the growing season. Traditional subsistence patterns are described as follows, and many of these are still carried out today as part of continued cultural practices. Local hunting and fishing are traditionally practiced during the lean winter months, at which time groups would share supplies of preserved food, including smoked fish and shellfish and dried berries. 274 of 580 2. Project Setting Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan 12 ESA / D202400423.00 Cultural Resources Literature Review February 2025 REVISED FINAL Traditionally, smaller groups moved seasonally during the warmer months, providing a broad subsistence base including shellfish, marine and freshwater fish, land game, waterfowl, sprouts, roots and bulbs, berries, and nuts (Suttles and Lane 1990). Food resources acquired during the spring, summer, and fall would traditionally be used for winter supplies and trade, as well as immediate consumption. A wide variety of plant resources are used for medicinal and other cultural uses. Western redcedar is an important resource for rope, baskets, and numerous household items; tules and cattails, often found near streams and marshes, are used for making mats (Suttles and Lane 1990:490). There is one location within the 1-mile Study Area with a recorded Lushootseed name. To the north of the Project Area is Sp3a’kwûlcuL, “’white stuff which comes upon water,’ for a ‘spring brook’ flowing into Panther Lake and emptying into a lake” (Hilbert et al. 2001:133, no. 207a). There are several locations with recorded Lushootseed names located between two to three miles from the Project Area, situated along today’s Green River, which was the course of the White River prior to the rerouting of the White River south to Tacoma and the lowering of Lake Washington in the early 1900s. Approximately 3.5 miles northwest of the Project Area was the confluence of several important rivers and the locations of multiple Indigenous villages. Coll Thrush describes the importance of this area: “The valley where the Black, Cedar, and White- Green rivers came together to form the Duwamish was a center of Indigenous settlement. There were towns here named Meeting of the Rivers, Crags, Little Cedar River, and Confluence, and the area also became an important refuge for local Native people during Seattle’s urban development” (Thrush 2007:244 no. 89). Non-Indigenous settlement of the Study Area began in the mid-1800s when settlers started to arrive and reconfigure the land toward their ends. With the passage of the 1850 Donation Land Claim Act, settlers began to claim homestead lands throughout the Pacific Northwest. These early settlements and land claims were focused on key routes of access and areas rich in resources. Within Puget Sound, the Duwamish, White, and Green River Valleys offered excellent agricultural opportunities for settlers. The traditional mobile subsistence strategies of hunter- fisher-gatherers were increasingly disrupted as settlement progressed. These impacts on Native American groups within the Puget Sound are documented by the treaties that were signed and the reservations that were established where these groups were forced to relocate from their traditional lands (Suttles and Lane 1990). The U.S. Government negotiated the 1854 Treaty of Medicine Creek with the Puyallup, Nisqually, and Squaxin and the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott with the Duwamish and allied Tribes (Marino 1990). As successors to the Duwamish and Upper Puyallup, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe was recognized as a party to both treaties (Muckleshoot Indian Tribe 2024). The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe reservation lands were established in 1857 after the 1854–1855 Treaty Wars and treaty renegotiation at the Fox Island Council; the reservation was later expanded in 1874 (Lane 1972a:10; Muckleshoot Indian Tribe 2024). Under the provisions of the Treaty of Point Elliott, ratified in 1859, the U.S. Government established four reservations within the Puget Sound region, although no reservation was established specifically for the Duwamish (Duwamish Tribe 2024; Lane 1975b; U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs 2015). Not all Coast Salish 275 of 580 2. Project Setting Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan 13 ESA / D202400423.00 Cultural Resources Literature Review February 2025 REVISED FINAL relocated to reservations; some individuals remained in their traditional lands (Lane 1972a, 1972b, 1974, 1975a, 1975b, 1975c, 1988). Prior to 1906, the Green and White rivers merged at a confluence east of present-day downtown Auburn. After merging, they continued to flow north as the Green River, eventually joining the Duwamish River. In 1906, engineers diverted the White River away from the Green River and into the Stuck River located south of Auburn (Bagley 1929). Today, the Green River flows north into the Duwamish River following the former channel of the White River north of Auburn, while the White River flows south into the Puyallup River following the channel of the former Stuck River. Extensive farming has been conducted along the Green River and its tributaries. The focus of this agricultural activity has varied through time, switching from potatoes and other root crops to a booming hops industry, then later dominated by dairy farming (Valentino et al. 2017). The Green and Duwamish rivers provided farmers with desirable water access, and Indigenous people would ferry the settlers’ crops to Seattle along the river (Bagley 1929:692; Valentino et al. 2017). Coal mining was also an important industry in the area through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As Renton (incorporated 1901) developed, major infrastructure projects followed including road construction. Today’s SR 167, which connects Renton to Puyallup, was established as a section of the Pacific Highway in 1913. The section from Orillia to Renton was approved for construction in 1916 (Artifacts Architectural Consulting 2014). In 1884, the Puget Sound Shore Railroad was constructed from Seattle to Puyallup through Orillia approximately 0.8 mile west of the Project Area; this became part of the Northern Pacific Railroad in 1889 and currently operates as the BNSF (Robertson 1995:255; USGS 1897). By 1907, two other railroads were constructed adjacent to the Northern Pacific, further connecting the Study Area to surrounding communities. These included the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound Railroad, and the Puget Sound Electric Railway (also known as the Interurban) (Anderson Map Company 1907). The Interurban operated from 1902 to 1928, transporting passengers and goods between Seattle and Tacoma (Slauson 1976). The alignment of the Interurban is now paved as a pedestrian and bicycle path known as the Interurban Trail (Heideman 2016). The aviation industry and World War II efforts helped spur urban growth in Renton in the 1940s. By the 1950s, Boeing was producing the Dash 80 in Renton, the predecessor of the 707 that was the first commercial airplane to open up international travel (Boeing 2020, 2024). By the 1960s, the 727 and 737 airplanes were being manufactured at the facility (Boeing 2020, 2024). All of this production resulted in a need for suburban housing. Residential subdivisions as well as commercial and shopping centers developed on the outskirts of Renton. The City expanded through annexation following World War II, a process that has continued into the 21 century (City of Renton 2014). Project Area An 1867 land survey mapped Springbrook Creek, which passes through the northeast corner of the Project Area (Figure 2). Other early surveys from 1863 and 1965 showed a marsh in the southwest portion of the Project Area (U.S. Bureau of Land Management 1863, 1865 1867). The 276 of 580 2. Project Setting Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan 14 ESA / D202400423.00 Cultural Resources Literature Review February 2025 REVISED FINAL first land patent, for approximately the eastern two-thirds of the Project Area, was issued to John Krumm in 1873 (U.S. Bureau of Land Management 1873). By 1897, there were several buildings near the Project Area, including two directly north and five to the east across Talbot Road. Although the 1897 map (USGS 1897) shows the Project Area as vacant, Cleveland et al. (2024) identified one extant shed (Figure 9) on the parcel as “original,” and dating to ca. 1890. At the time, the Project Area was generally equidistant between the cities of Kent (to the south) and Renton (to the north). While the road alignments have changed somewhat since that date, SE 192nd Street, SE 200th Street, and Talbot Road S were constructed by then. According to Cleveland et al. (2024), a school was built in the Project Area (generally where the extant primary residence is located) in ca. 1890. While research has not identified additional details, the Greater Kent Historical Society (2020) does list “Springbrook School” with operating dates of 1878 – 1905.1 In 1907, the Project Area was owned by Silas G. Hardin, M.M. Winters, Daniel Winters, and Levant Brannan (Anderson Map Company 1907), although an ad placed the previous year stated that Forester & Co had “secured the famous Spring Brook Farm,” which included a portion of the Project Area (Seattle Daily Times 1906). A 1912 map identifies it as the Spring Brook Acre Tracts with a small eastern portion owned by Agnes Bridges; John Krumm still owned some land nearby, directly north of the Project Area (Kroll Map Company 1912). An ad for the subdivision (Seattle Post-Intelligencer 1906) describes the land: We have secured the famous Spring Brook Farm in the valley south of Seattle and 1½ miles from Orillia. Have subdivided into 10 and 20-acre tracts. Some of these tracts have buildings; all have some improvements, fruit and spring water. Prices $150 to $175 per acre. […] We are selling these tracts on very good terms. Small amount down and easy payments. Spring Brook acre tracts have much to recommend them to one who desires a little farm home within easy reach of Seattle. […] For dairy and chicken farms, there is nothing finer. Spring water, some timber and close to market. In 1936, the general land ownership remained the same, with no owners identified withing the Spring Brook Acre Tracts. Bridges’ land, however, was subdivided, and all of the new owners, save one, had the same last name. It appears that John Bridges owned the land within the Project Area (Kroll Map Company 1926; Metsker Map Company 1936). The Project Area, specifically the northeast section, had seen notable construction by this time (Figure 11) – unlike the surrounding Study Area, which was minimally developed and primarily used for agriculture. King County records note the construction date of the primary residence in the Project Area as 1937, but it is visible in an aerial image from the previous year (Figure 11; King County 1938; King County Assessor 1936, 2024; NETROnline 2024).The aerial image also shows multiple outbuildings to the south and west of the primary residence, and an orchard farther to the west. At this time, the land (or at least the westernmost parcel) was noted as being owned by Roy L. Allen, 1 USGS maps from 1897 and 1900 do not show any buildings in the Project Area. 277 of 580 2. Project Setting Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan 15 ESA / D202400423.00 Cultural Resources Literature Review February 2025 REVISED FINAL according to the historic property record cards (copies of the record cards are included in Appendix A; King County 1938). There does appear to be some discrepancy about the landowner(s) during the 1930s. Cleveland et al. (2024) note that the Project Area was owned by the Church family prior to 1951. The 1930 census lists a Church family as living in Orillia, with Roy L. Allen as a lodger. The Church family included Horatio (noted as the owner) and his wife Mary O. (nee Smith), children Ray and Mary E., and parents in-law Donohue and Elizabeth Alexander (U.S. Census Bureau 1930).2 Horatio was listed as a cleaner in the dock (ship) industry, and Allen as an electrician. However, newspapers from around the time list a Roy L. Allen as a Washington State deputy assessor; he ran for county commissioner in 1928 and 1934 and was defeated both times (Seattle Daily Times 1928, 1934; Seattle Post-Intelligencer 1928, 1934). The 1940 census lists the four Churches, Allen (noted as an employee), three boarders (Lucile Lester, age 15 and enrolled in high school, Robert Willis, age 8, and Joseph Willis, age 5), and a friend Ralph Coxon. It may be that the children boarders were foster children, as Mary O. has a listed occupation/industry as “Housewife/Boarding Mother” (U.S. Census Bureau 1940). In 1950, Horatio, Mary, and Ray were residents, along with brother and sister in-law Carl and Sara Backer, boarder Hans Schefnat (not a child), and hired man Albert Johnson (U.S. Census Bureau 1950b). Mary Elizabeth died at the age of 18 in 1940 (Washington Secretary of State 1940). According to Cleveland et al. (2024), the front mass of the house (facing the road/east; center right in Figure 5) was moved to “the top of 192nd” at an unknown date and the front portion rebuilt.3 In 1951, Edwin and Virginia (nee Richardson) Cleveland purchased 24 acres for $17,000 (King County 1938).4 Mary Church reportedly took a dislike to Edwin, who had to then negotiate the sale exclusively through a realtor (Cleveland et al. 2024). The family moved in 1952 from West Seattle with their five children (Nancy, Sally, Daniel, Craig, and Jane; another child, Clyde, died shortly after his birth in 1950). The couple wanted to farm and also have room for their children – they would eventually have three more (Marilyn, Carol, and Heidi). Edwin worked as a milkman and Virginia was a homemaker (Cleveland et al. 2024; Ossorio 2012; The News Tribune 2011; U.S. Census Bureau 1950a). When the family moved into the house, it was outside of the Kent school district, but the district moved the boundary to accommodate the Clevelands, and all eight children attended Kent district schools (Cleveland et al. 2024). When the Cleveland family moved in, there was an extensive orchard; although the precise location of some trees changed over the decades, the Clevelands had a variety of fruiting trees, including pear, black walnut, King and Gravenstein apple, Bing and pie cherry, and plum, along with rhubarb (Cleveland et al. 2024; King County Assessor 1936; NETROnline 2024; USGS EarthExplorer 2024). The family also had a variety of animals during the 1950s, including sheep, horses, pigs, and chickens, but from the 1960s on only had cows. (For a brief time, there were about 500 chickens, but according to Cleveland et al. [2004], “that didn’t last long.”) As with 2 The first identified reference to the Churches at the location was a Seattle Daily Times article from 1924, when Mrs. Mary Church of Springbrook Farm, Kent-Auburn, hosted the Kansas Women’s Club (the census records do note that she was born in Kansas). 3 Additional research has not identified the precise location near SE 192nd Street, or any other records related to the move. 4 Slightly under $200,000 in 2024 dollars (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 2024). 278 of 580 2. Project Setting Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan 16 ESA / D202400423.00 Cultural Resources Literature Review February 2025 REVISED FINAL many family farms, the Cleveland children helped with chores, such as milking cows and collecting, candling, and cleaning eggs. The garden and orchard produced a significant amount of food, and the family “canned all summer” (Cleveland et al. 2004). Some of the food (primarily apples) was shared with neighbors, but generally it was kept and eaten by the Cleveland family; it was stored in the basement in the canning room. The Project Area had several outbuildings in the early 1950s, most of which were removed over the following years. These included two chicken coops to the west of the primary residence (Figure 6), two large barns (one south of the primary residence), at least three sheds (Figure 9), outhouses, a granary southwest of the primary residence, and two hired men’s houses. The houses for the hired men were north and south of the primary residence; the one to the north – only the foundation currently remains – was two rooms. A root cellar (Figure 10) was converted to a shed for cows (Cleveland et al. 2024; King County 1938; King County Assessor 1936). The family established a pet cemetery in one of the clearings near the southern edge of their land and buried their cows in the first clearing (near the root cellar). They also used the far west clearing for softball (Cleveland et al. 2024). At an unknown point, the Clevelands lost the key to the front door (then on the east façade) and, in response, relocated the front door to the south façade (a side door became the primary entry) and built a fireplace on the east façade. In the early 1960s, they enclosed the southern porch (Figure 8). Additionally, to accommodate the family, the back (west) porch was enclosed, resulting in an expanded kitchen and additional living space on the ground floor, and an additional bedroom and bathroom upstairs (Figure 7; Cleveland et al. 2024; King County 1938). An undated photo (Figure 5) shows a one-story mass on the south that is no longer extant and was likely demolished around the same time as the entry relocation. In 1963 or 1964, Edwin Cleveland replaced the natural pond, located southwest of the primary residence that was fed by nearby streams, with a concrete-lined pond (Figure 12). The family used the new pond for watering the land and swimming; it was stocked with carp to control the algae. Despite this, it still needed to be drained annually and cleaned – the fish would be flushed out with the water and gathered at the pipe’s outfall, cleaned, and put into kiddie pools until they could be returned to the clean pond. The family, and neighbors, swam in the pool throughout the summer. They (the Clevelands) also instituted a birthday party celebration, which in later years grew to include the grandchildren (Cleveland et al. 2024). Several of the outbuildings present in the Project Area, particularly those to the south of the primary residence, were removed by the end of the 1960s. In addition, the orchard, while still present, was not as formally cultivated (compare Figure 11 to Figure 12). In 1969, visible buildings included the primary residence, ca.1890 shed, and a large barn to the northwest. By 1991, the barn was demolished (NETROnline 2024; USGS EarthExplorer 2024). Beyond these changes, however, the Project Area remained overwhelmingly the same. By the early 1990s, the surrounding farms had been sold and many of them converted to subdivisions (Figure 13). According to Heidi Cleveland (in Ossorio [2012]), “it seemed like everyday building contractors with nice, fat checks would show up on our doorsteps asking us to 279 of 580 2. Project Setting Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan 17 ESA / D202400423.00 Cultural Resources Literature Review February 2025 REVISED FINAL sell. Mom [Virginia] would cry because she didn’t want to sell the place.” The City of Renton also approached the family – also in the early 1990s – about “selling three acres to create a walking trail by the Springbrook Stream” (Ossorio 2012). This conservation option was of interest to the Clevelands, who offered the entirety of the land to the City. The City purchased the land for $1.2 million in 1995,5 and also established a life estate, allowing Edwin and Virginia to remain in the house and maintain the acreage. They remained until their deaths – Edwin in October 2003 and Virginia in November 2011 – after which the land reverted to the City (Cleveland et al. 2024; Ossorio 2012). Currently, only the primary residence, root cellar, and a single shed (built ca. 1890) remain (Figure 8, Figure 9, and Figure 10). SOURCE: King County 1938 Figure 5.

An additional 16 prior cultural resources assessments have been carried out within the 1-mile Study Area (Table 2). They were prepared in advance of stream restoration, telecommunications towers, development of new residential subdevelopments, widening of SE 208th Street, improvements to Carr Road and Interstate 405, and development of bus rapid ride lines; there was also an additional historic structures survey.

A pile of modern historic construction debris was also observed in the project area. Early historic maps clearly indicate the Upper Springbrook Creek was channelized by the early 1900s, and it is believed that these historic bottles were transported into the project area via flooding events along this newly channeled waterway shortly after channelization.” None of the resources were recorded in WISAARD. In preparation for a residential development Cooper (2005) also identified several isolated artifacts near SE 200th Street, but noted an opinion “that the bone, charcoal, and the assorted modem refuse do not constitute a historic period archaeological site because the assemblage lacks any diagnostic artifacts that would date the material to pre-1955” and they were not recorded in WISAARD. 2.4.2 Archaeological Resources There is one recorded archaeological site within the 1-mile Study Area: 45KI1254, the Puget Sound Electric Railway Grade. The site is approximately 1.0 mile west of the Project Area. It consists of two segments of the 1909–1928 Puget Sound Electric Railway Grid and is now a part of the Interurban Trail. The site’s “rails and sleepers have all been removed from the grade and no other remnants of the railroad were noted” in 2016 (Heideman 2016). 2.4.3 Cemeteries According to available historical maps and records at DAHP, there is one recorded cemetery within 1 mile (Anderson Map Company 1907; DAHP 2024a; Kroll Map Company 1912, 1926; Metsker Map Company 1936; USGS 1897, 1900, 1949). The Saar Pioneer Cemetery (45KI872) is located approximately 0.9 mile south of the Project Area, at 9100 S 212th Street, Kent. Individuals buried here appear to have been non-Indigenous, with death dates ranging from 1873– 1930, although it may have been active later (Kent UMC [2024] lists active dates from 1873– 1949). The cemetery index lists 82 names. It is a City of Kent Historical Landmark (Greater Kent Historical Society 2024; Kent UMC 2024; Washington Secretary of State 2011). 289 of 580 2. Project Setting Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan 27 ESA / D202400423.00 Cultural Resources Literature Review February 2025 REVISED FINAL 2.4.4 Traditional Cultural Places No recorded cultural resources, or places identified by Tribes as having traditional religious and cultural importance or significance (also referred to as Traditional Cultural Places) are known to exist within the Project Area (DAHP 2024a). 2.4.5 Historic Resources There are no historic resources within the Project Area that have previously been recorded in WISAARD. The King County Assessor (2024) identifies one building within the Project Area (not inventoried in WISAARD) – the residence at 19415 Talbot Road S. The King County Assessor lists a construction date of 1937, although aerial imagery shows it was built by 1936. In addition, there are (and have been) outbuildings within the Project Area that are not identified by the King County Assessor; extant resources include the pond (built in the 1960s), ca. 1890 shed, and root cellar (built prior to 1951). 290 of 580 Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan 28 ESA / D202400423.00 Cultural Resources Literature Review February 2025 REVISED FINAL 3. EXPECTATIONS 3.1 Historic Resources Based on the setting discussed above, ESA understands that all four of the extant historic resources in the Project Area are more than 50 years in age. If future phases of the Project are subject to Section 106 or GEO 21-02, additional documentation will be required. Both Section 106 and GEO 21-02 require that potential project impacts on historic resources be identified, and in some cases, mitigated. 3.2 Archaeological Resources The Project Area is classified as Moderate, High, and Very High Risk in DAHP’s Statewide Predictive Model for containing precontact-era archaeological sites (DAHP 2010).6 As discussed in the setting above, the northeast area of the Project Area has seen the construction and demolition of several outbuildings, along with small agricultural efforts (Figure 11).ESA expects this portion of the Project Area to have a low to moderate potential for containing intact precontact-era archaeological resources, due to the degree of previous ground disturbance. Likewise, the western portion of the Project Area designated as Urban Land has also been subjected to a high degree of ground disturbance, and the potential for intact archaeological deposits has likely been diminished. ESA expects the balance of the Project Area to have a moderate to high potential for containing intact precontact-era archaeological resources. The archaeological and ethnographic context of the Project Area indicates that the location was the focus of precontact-era land use patterns and resource procurement activities. However, none of the Cleveland family members noted finding archaeological resources during their ownership and exploration of the Project Area (Cleveland et al. 2024). ESA expects the Project Area to have a high potential for containing historic-era archaeological resources, due to the construction and demolition of the outbuildings and sustained use of the land by a large family. Cleveland et al. (2024) also noted two locations in the Project Area where animals are buried. Cows were generally buried in the eastern field (Figure 10), and pets were buried near the southern boundary of the Project Area, directly south of the pond. If future phases are subject to Section 106 or GEO 21-02, the Project will require additional archaeological investigation. ESA recommends a subsurface survey of areas that will be subject to ground disturbance and in accordance with the relevant regulatory nexus (see following section for additional details). 6 The Statewide Predictive Model is a tool used by archaeologists and planners to evaluate potential archaeological risks on a broad scale. The model was developed to statistically evaluate multiple environmental factors (e.g., elevation, slope percent, aspect, distance to water, soils, and landforms) in order to predict where archaeological resources might be found (Kauhi 2013). It is not a substitute for conducting site-specific subsurface investigations. 291 of 580 Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan 29 ESA / D202400423.00 Cultural Resources Literature Review February 2025 REVISED FINAL 4. RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 Historic Resources The proposed Project includes converting the Project Area into a park, which will primarily be used for passive purposes. Although precise plans have not yet been determined, the City intends to keep the primary residence and possibly other existing built resources. Bruce Dees & Associates has requested recommendations for incorporating the extant resources into the new park. ESA’s recommendations include, but are not necessarily limited to: • Converting the primary residence into a caretaker’s cottage. • Establishing an artist-in-residency program on the site. Some examples of similar programs include Mary Olson Farm in the City of Auburn; the Good Shepherd Center in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle, maintained by Historic Seattle; and at multiple national parks, through the National Park Service’s Arts in the Parks program (City of Auburn 2024; Historic Seattle 2024; National Park Service 2024). • Using the primary residence as an interpretation center. It could present a variety of applicable topics, including a history of agriculture and small family farms in the area. It could also include the need/desire to modify buildings over time to respond to new needs (a growing family, etc.). In addition to discussing changes – whether specific to this location or in general – to the primary residence, it could also incorporate changes to outbuildings. Related discussion could also include the need for hired hands and to bring on lodgers, and how small farms and Renton have changed over time. ESA recommends the implementation of participatory activities, as these often tend to be more engaging and welcoming to the general public (Vagnone and Ryan 2016). • Establishing a small farmers market space, possibly in partnership with a local farm(s). The aforementioned options also could be combined; they need not be standalone uses. 4.2 Archaeological Resources The November 6, 2024 site visit did not identify any archaeological resources, although it should be noted the western half of the Project Area was not accessed due to vegetation. Approximately half of the Project Area is densely vegetated with little ground visibility (Figure 14). Based on this, and results of this Cultural Resources Literature Review indicating a high potential for archaeological resources, ESA recommends that subsurface survey occur to confirm the presence or absence of archaeological resources within the Project Area. The subsurface survey should occur once the project design and regulatory nexus (if any) is determined and include any areas of ground disturbance planned as a part of the park development. 292 of 580 4.

The area of the find will be secured and protected from further disturbance. The finding of human skeletal remains will be reported to the county medical examiner/coroner and local law enforcement in the most expeditious manner possible. The remains will not be touched, moved, or further disturbed. The county medical examiner/coroner will assume jurisdiction over the human skeletal remains and make a determination of whether those remains are forensic or non-forensic. If the county medical examiner/coroner determines the remains are non-forensic, then they will report that finding to the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) who will then take jurisdiction over the remains. DAHP will notify any appropriate cemeteries and all affected tribes of the find. The State Physical Anthropologist will make a determination of whether the remains are Indian or Non-Indian and report that finding to any appropriate cemeteries and the affected tribes.

(GeoEngineers) is pleased to present this preliminary geotechnical study for the City of Renton (City) Southwest Renton Park Master Plan project. The project site is located near 19415 Talbot Road South in Renton, Washington. Our understanding of the project is based on review of the project Statement of Qualifications document and our discussions with Bruce Dees and Associates (project landscape architect). The overall project consists of preparing a master plan for City-owned property towards future development and use for public recreation activities. The project site is comprised of three parcels totaling approximately 24 acres in size. The site is currently largely undeveloped and vegetated. The master planning process will include a review and analysis of the existing site, public engagement to gather input and preparing the master plan concepts. The scope of improvements associated with the master plan are not currently known but we expect that geotechnical-related project elements could include: one story at-grade structures, playfield areas, site grading, new pavement areas, stormwater facilities and underground utility installation. 2.0 Scope of Services As part of this study, we reviewed existing information in the project vicinity and completed a visual site reconnaissance to develop an understanding of surface and subsurface conditions in the area. Based on this information we have prepared this report providing our preliminary opinion on the suitability of the site for future development with regards to geotechnical considerations. The results of our services are intended to support decisions regarding site usage, preliminary project engineering and future planning. This is a preliminary geotechnical study and is not intended to support final design of site improvements. Additional geotechnical services, including site specific explorations and other engineering analysis for design should be completed to support final design of future development. Our services have been provided in accordance with our agreement with Bruce Dees and Associates dated October 10, 2024. 3.0 Site Conditions 3.1 SITE LIMITS AND VICINITY The project site (site) consists of three parcels totaling approximately 24 acres. An overview of the site and surrounding area is shown in the Vicinity Map, Figure 1. A detailed view of the site is shown in the Site Plan, Figure 2. The site is generally bound by State Route 167 (west), Talbot Road South (east), and partially developed residential properties (north and south). The site is currently accessed via Talbot Road South where an existing single family homesite is located. 322 of 580 Bruce Dees and Associates | December 16, 2024 Page 2 File No. 0693-097-00 3.2 HISTORIC CONDITIONS We reviewed historic aerial photographs of the project site available online from the King County iMap website and Google Earth, which provide intermittent imagery of the site dating as early as 1936. Review of the historic photographs indicates that the site has remained largely unchanged since 1990. We understand that the existing single family home site was built in 1937, and the property was historically used for light agricultural purposes. 3.3 SITE TOPOGRAPHY The site is located near the toe of the eastern slope of the Green River Valley. As such, the majority of the site is on sloping terrain that trends downward to the west towards the valley floor. Figure 3 shows the approximate topographic contours of the site (source King County iMap). Figure 3 also illustrates the general downslope directions. The eastern two-thirds of the site slopes downward from southeast to the north as the topography funnels towards Springbrook Creek. The change in elevation between the southeast corner of the site and the northern site boundary is on the order of 70 feet. The western third of the site slopes to the west towards the Green River Valley and State Route 167. The change in elevation between the top and bottom of the West Slope Area is on the order of 100 feet. The gradient of topography within the site boundary varies across the site and is undulating. In areas of flatter topography, trees and low lying vegetation have been cleared creating a series of pastures. Areas of steeper topography are densely vegetated with trees and understory. 3.4 SITE RECONNAISSANCE We completed a visual site reconnaissance of the site on October 24, 2024. For the purposes of this report, we have separated the site into three general areas based on current use and features: Homesite Area, Pasture Areas, Forested Areas. 3.4.1 Homesite Area The existing homesite is located along the eastern site boundary and is accessed via Talbot Road South. The homesite consists of a single family residence, a detached outbuilding, garden areas, gravel surfaced driveway and a small pond. The pond appears to be man-made and is retained by earthen embankments on the west, south and north sides. An overflow culvert is located on the west side of the pond (see Figure 4). 3.4.2 Pasture Areas A series of 5 interconnected pastures are located between the homesite and the crest of the West Slope Area (See Figure 2). The pasture areas are generally located in portions of the site with flatter topography. The pasture areas are surfaced with sod and are interconnected by cleared and mowed corridors. The North Pasture area is located immediately to the west of the homesite and slopes downward from east to west. The northern boundary of the pasture area is formed by the Springbrook Creek Ravine. 323 of 580 Bruce Dees and Associates | December 16, 2024 Page 3 File No. 0693-097-00 The Southeast Pasture is located to the south and southwest of the pond and homesite. The Southeast Pasture has the steepest topography (on the order of 10 Horizontal to 1 Vertical) of the five pastures grading downward from the southeast to the northwest. The Central Pastures are relatively small compared to the North, Southeast and West Pastures. The Central Pastures are situated between tributaries of Springbrook creek and are in a slight depression. We observed areas of standing water and saturated ground within the Central Pastures, especially in the immediate proximity to the creek tributaries (see Figure 5). The West Pasture is the largest of the cleared areas at the site totaling roughly 2 acres in size. The West Pasture is relatively flat compared to other areas but slopes gently downward from south to north (see Figure 6). The West Pasture borders the West Slope Area (to the west) and other densely vegetated slope areas to the north and east. 3.4.3 Forested Areas Forested and uncleared areas are present throughout the site. We were not able to walk through or investigate most of the forested areas during our site reconnaissance due to the dense vegetation and steeper topography. Vegetation within forested areas includes mature and young deciduous and coniferous trees and dense understory which includes blackberry bushes and native ground cover vegetation. The West Slope Area is the largest forested area at the site. The eastern half of this area is moderately sloping and undulating. The steepest topography within the West Slope Area is near the western site boundary which is at the toe of the slope leading to the Green River Valley. 3.5 LITERATURE REVIEW 3.5.1 Geologic Mapping We reviewed published geologic maps of the project vicinity including the Geologic Map of the Renton Quadrangle (Mullineaux, D.R., 1965). For reference, a portion of the reviewed geologic map is provided as Figure 7. According to the reviewed map, the site is underlain by two primary geologic units: ɵ Stratified Drift: Mapped below the eastern half of the site, stratified drift is described in the literature as sand and fine gravel deposited during a period of glacial recession. Recessional drift soils are typically loose to medium dense as they were not consolidated by the weight of the source glacier after deposition. ɵ Glacial Till: Mapped below the western half of the site, glacial till is typically comprised of a mixture of sand, gravel and cobbles in a silt matrix. Glacial till soils were consolidated by the weight of the overriding glacier and are typically dense to very dense. 3.5.2 Natural Resources Conservation Service Description The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey (WSS) includes soil data and information for general engineering and planning applications. Mapped WSS soil types in the project vicinity are primarily Alderwood gravely sandy loam. These soil types are derived from glacial outwash or glacial drift which is consistent with the geologic mapping described above. 324 of 580 Bruce Dees and Associates | December 16, 2024 Page 4 File No. 0693-097-00 3.5.3 Geologically Hazardous Areas A general discussion of geologic hazards and Geologically Hazardous Areas is provided in the sections below. GeoEngineers did not complete a detailed critical areas assessment as part of preparing this report. Our interpretation of critical areas at this site is based on our review of published information and conditions observed during our site reconnaissance. A more detailed critical areas assessment should be completed as part of future phases of this project in coordination with King County, City of Renton and other jurisdictional requirements. In Section 4.7.1 of this report, we discuss considerations for site development in and around mapped Geologically Hazardous Areas 3.5.3.1 LANDSLIDE HAZARDS According to the City of Renton published critical area s maps (accessed via City of Renton COR Maps), there are no designated landslide hazard areas within the site boundaries. We did not observe any obvious indications of recent or historic landslide activity during our site reconnaissance, and we are in general agreement with the landslide hazard mapping we reviewed. However, the site does contain steep slope areas and some areas of significant vertical relief, especially within the West Slope Area. Our ability to observe and access steep slope areas was limited and further investigation into the potential for Landslide Hazard areas should be considered as part of future phases of this project. 3.5.3.2 REGULATED “STEEP” SLOPES According to the City of Renton published critical areas maps (accessed via City of Renton COR Maps) portions of the project site are designated “sensitive” or “protected” steep slope areas. The City of Renton Regulated Slope Map is shown in Figure 8 for reference. The sensitive and protected steep slope designation is based on overall slope height and gradient as determined by available topographic mapping. Based on our observations, we are in general agreement with the steep slope area mapping we reviewed. Sensitive and protected slope areas qualify as Geologically Hazadous Areas and will require further evaluation during design development. 3.5.3.3 EROSION HAZARDS According to the City of Renton published critical areas maps (accessed via City of Renton COR Maps), portions of the West Slope Area are mapped as having a High Erosion Hazard. The High Erosion Hazard designation is determined based on the soil types identified on USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service maps (see Section 3.5.2). Based on our site observations and review of the NRCS maps we are in general agreement with the erosion hazard mapping we reviewed. High Erosion Hazard areas qualify as Geologically Hazadous Areas and will require further evaluation during design development. 3.5.3.4 SEISMIC HAZARDS According to the City of Renton published critical areas maps (access via City of Renton COR Maps), there are no designated seismic hazard areas within the project boundaries. Seismic Hazard designation is determined based on the anticipated underlying soil conditions. Low seismic hazard areas are areas underlain by dense soils or bedrock. High Seismic Hazard areas are areas underlain by soft or loose, saturated soils. 325 of 580 Bruce Dees and Associates | December 16, 2024 Page 5 File No. 0693-097-00 Based on our understanding of the site geology and experience in the area, we are in general agreement with the seismic hazard mapping we reviewed. 3.6 ANTICIPATED SOIL AND GROUNDATER CONDITIONS 3.6.1 Soil Conditions Based on our review of published information and our experience in the project vicinity, we anticipate that the site is predominantly underlain by sand and gravel soils with variable silt content. In areas mapped as Stratified Drift (eastern half of the site) we anticipate that near surface soils (those within about 10 feet of the ground surface) will range between loose and medium dense. In areas mapped as Glacial Till (western half of the site), we anticipate that near surface soils will range from medium dense to dense. We expect that the density of soils at the site will generally increase with depth. A surficial layer of reworked or weathered soils likely overlies the native site soils (drift and till). Within pasture areas that were historically used for agricultural purposes, we anticipate that the thickness of reworked or weathered soils could be on the order of a few feet thick and could contain a high percentage of organics. In forested and undeveloped areas, the thickness of weathered soil is likely less. In areas surrounding creeks, localized deposits of loose alluvial soils could be present. 3.6.2 Groundwater Conditions Groundwater is expected to be present at shallow and deeper depths at the site. In our opinion shallow and deeper groundwater tables at the site are not indicative of separate groundwater aquafers but are the result of different groundwater sources. Shallow groundwater (water encountered within 50 feet of the ground surface) at the site will most likely be associated with surface water flow in Springbrook Creek and its tributaries and perched groundwater flowing down the regional hillside towards the Green River Valley. We expect that shallow groundwater will be present at the site year-round especially in areas immediately surrounding Springbrook Creek and other sources of surface water flow. Groundwater levels near creeks could be at or within a few feet of the ground surface. During dry weather months, groundwater levels may lower and areas of wet or saturated surficial soil may dry out. Deeper groundwater (water encountered more than 50 feet below ground surface) at the site will most likely be associated with static groundwater levels in the Green River Valley. Groundwater levels within the Green River Valley are influenced by water levels in the Green River and the volume of water discharging into the valley from the surrounding hillsides. We expect that zones of near surface saturated soils may be separated from saturated soils at depth by zones of moist or non-saturated soil. 326 of 580 Bruce Dees and Associates | December 16, 2024 Page 6 File No. 0693-097-00 4.0 Geotechnical Engineering Evaluation 4.1 OVERVIEW Based on our review of available subsurface information and our completed visual reconnaissance, it is our opinion that the considered project site is generally suitable for development with regards to geotechnical considerations. The project layout and design should incorporate geotechnical considerations as discussed herein. In our opinion, these geotechnical considerations can be managed through appropriate site layout, engineering design and construction methods. Our primary geotechnical considerations are summarized below and are discussed in more detail in the subsequent sections. Preliminary recommendations provided in this report are intended to support initial design development, preliminary engineering, cost estimating and future site planning. These recommendations are not intended to support final project design. Ultimately, we recommend site and project specific geotechnical explorations and analysis be completed as a part of final design of future improvements. ɵ Soils at the site are expected to consist primarily of sand and gravel with variable silt content. These soils are expected to range from loose to very dense. ɵ We anticipate that a relatively thick layer of reworked and higher organic content soils could be present within pasture areas of the site. These soils would likely need to be removed to construct structural improvements (buildings, roadways, sidewalks etc.). ɵ Shallow groundwater could be present across the site and should be expected within a few feet of the ground surface in areas around creeks or flowing surface water. Drainage systems may be needed around structures or below at grade improvements (e.g. playfields) to help control groundwater flow and maintain dry surface conditions. ɵ Topography at the project site is undulating and areas of steep slopes are present. Grading and development in steep slope areas may not be feasible or practical. Structures will likely need to be setback from areas with steeper terrain. ɵ Due to shallow groundwater levels, anticipated soil types and the presence of steep terrain, in our opinion the project site has a low suitability for infiltrating stormwater. 4.2 SEISMIC SITE CLASS We assume improvements will be designed in accordance with the International Building Code (IBC). The 2018 and 2021 editions of the IBC state structures shall resist the effects of earthquake motions in accordance with American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 7-16 “Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures”. In accordance with IBC and ASCE 7-16, we recommend seismic Site Class D be considered for preliminary simplified code-based seismic design and analysis. 4.3 FOUNDATION SUPPORT We envision that structures at this site can be adequately supported on shallow foundations and slab-on- grade floors bearing on existing site soils. Recompaction or removal and replacement of existing soils beneath foundations may be required to provide adequate bearing support. Soils with high organic content will need to be removed from below foundations areas. Within pasture areas the upper 1 to 2 feet of existing soil may need to be removed to expose competent bearing soils. 327 of 580 Bruce Dees and Associates | December 16, 2024 Page 7 File No. 0693-097-00 Final foundation support recommendations will depend on structure loads, foundation elevations and performance requirements and should be evaluated as part of future geotechnical studies. For preliminary design, we estimate allowable soil bearing resistance of near surface soils will be on the order of 2,000 to 3,000 pounds per square foot (psf). For the bearing conditions and resistances presented above, we anticipate that total and differential foundations settlement can be limited to 1 inch and 0.5 inches, respectively. Higher bearing pressure can be achieved but will require special consideration of bearing surface preparation and location of the structure relative to site slopes. Lateral resistance of foundations can be evaluated assuming a passive equivalent fluid density of 300 pcf and an allowable frictional resistance of 0.4 (these values include a factor of safety of about 1.5). These values must be confirmed as part of final design. 4.4 CONVENTIONAL RETAINING WALLS AND BELOW-GRADE STRUCTURES We anticipate retaining walls may be required to mainta in or create desired site grades and construct below grade elements. The specific retaining wall type used will depend in part on the application and wall height. For this site we expect that modular block walls, cast-in-place walls, structural earth walls, soil nail walls and soldier piles walls are all feasible for use. Modular block walls will likely be most effective for relatively short walls (less than about 6 feet tall) used in cut and fill grading applications. Cast-in place walls could be used in cut or fill applications and are typically most efficient for intermediate wall heights, (walls taller than about 5 feet but less than about 8 feet). Structural earth walls are best suited for use in fill applications and can be used to retain grade differentials in excess of 20 feet. Soil nail and soldier pile walls are best suited for cut wall applications and are most often used to retain or reinforce tall slopes or construct below grade building elements. For preliminary planning purposes, we recommend evaluating walls using an active equivalent fluid density of 36 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) (triangular distribution). This assumes that the walls will not be restrained against rotation when backfill is placed and the backfill behind the wall is level. For sloping backfill conditions up to 2H:1V, this value should be increased by 50 percent. Preliminary design of retaining wall foundations can use the parameters in the Foundation Support section. Retaining walls should be designed with a drainage system to prevent the buildup of hydrostatic pressures behind the wall. 4.5 STORMWATER INFILTRATION FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT We anticipate that stormwater facilities at this site will be designed in accordance with the King County Stormwater Design Manual (KCSDM) that has been adopted by the City of Renton. The ability and feasibility to infiltrate stormwater is the product of a combination of site suitability criteria including soil type and density, groundwater conditions and topography. Generally, normally consolidated sand and gravel soils containing a low percentage of silt and clay size particles have higher infiltration potential than predominantly fine grained soils or soils that are highly over consolidated. Accordingly, we expect areas of the site mapped as Stratified Drift (eastern half of site) will likely have soils more favorable for infiltration than areas of the site mapped as Glacial Till. 328 of 580 Bruce Dees and Associates | December 16, 2024 Page 8 File No. 0693-097-00 The base of stormwater infiltration facilities typically must maintain a separation distance of around 5 feet from seasonal high groundwater levels. As discussed, we expect that near surface groundwater could be present year-round in areas surrounding creeks. The design of infiltration facilities must consider site topography and the potential for infiltrating water into steep slope areas. In accordance with the KCSDM, infiltration facilities are not allowed on slopes greater than 25 percent (4H:1V) and must be setback between 50 and 200 feet from steep slope or landslide hazard areas. Based on the factors discussed above, it is our opinion this site has a relatively low suitability for infiltrating stormwater. For planning purposes, we expect that areas of the North Pasture and Southeast Pasture have a relatively higher potential for accommodating stormwater infiltration. Stormwater infiltration may be feasible in portions of The West Pasture Area provided setbacks from steep slope areas can be maintained, however we except that the soils underlying the West Pasture will have a very low infiltration rate. In our opinion large volume and concentrated stormwater infiltration facilities such as stormwater ponds, infiltration galleries or infiltration trenches are likely not feasible for use at this site. For planning purposes, we recommend that if infiltration facilities are included in conceptual design, they be limited to small scale facilities such as rain gardens, bioswales and permeable sidewalks. If infiltration is included in project design, additional studies will need to be completed to evaluate stormwater infiltration feasibility. At a minimum this should include groundwater monitoring, field infiltration testing and a more detailed assessment of steep slope areas. 4.6 EARTHWORK CONSIDERATIONS 4.6.1 Stripping, Clearing and Subgrade Preparation Existing surfaces within proposed development areas of structures and hardscape improvements should be cleared and stripped of all vegetation and organics prior to development. In forested areas we expect that stripping depths could exceed 6 inches. In pasture areas we expect that stripping depths could be on the order of 6 to 24 inches. In areas of prior development, stripping depths will likely be around 2 to 4 inches. Subgrades that will support structural elements and pavements should be thoroughly compacted to a uniformly firm and unyielding condition on completion of stripping/excavation and before placing structural fill. If soft or otherwise unsuitable subgrade areas are observed and cannot be compacted to a stable and uniformly firm condition, we recommend that: (1) the unsuitable soils be scarified (e.g., with a ripper or farmer’s disc), aerated and recompacted, if practical; or (2) the unsuitable soils be removed and replaced with compacted structural fill, as needed Existing structural improvements (e.g., pavements, hardscaping and foundations) within proposed development areas should be demolished and removed prior to redeveloping the site. Recycling or incorporating old foundation or pavement elements into fill areas can be considered but must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. 329 of 580 Bruce Dees and Associates | December 16, 2024 Page 9 File No. 0693-097-00 4.6.2 Wet Weather Considerations We expect that the majority of the soils at the site will contain a significant percentage of fines (materials smaller than the No. 200 U.S. sieve) and will be sensitive to small changes in moisture content. If these moisture sensitive soils become wet, they will be very difficult or impossible to work with and highly susceptible to disturbance. We recommend that earthwork activities at this site be completed during periods of predominantly dry weather. During dry weather, site soils will be less susceptible to disturbance, provide better support for construction equipment and be more likely to meet the required compaction criteria. If earthwork must occur during wet weather, we recommend that additional contingencies be added to account for over-excavation and replacement of saturated and disturbed soils. Additionally, if wet weather construction is proposed or required, we recommend planning for a “net cut” site rather than a balanced cut and fill site. During wet weather, earthwork costs could be lower with a net cut site because disturbed and saturated soils that cannot be compacted can be removed and there is no need to replace them with import. 4.6.3 Cut and Fill Slopes To maintain site grading and provide safe working conditions, we recommend temporary excavations and cut slopes be inclined no steeper than about 1.5H:1V. Flatter cut slopes will be necessary where seepage occurs or if surface surcharge loads are anticipated. We recommend permanent slopes with maximum inclination of about 2H:1V be considered for preliminary planning purposes. Where 2H:1V permanent slopes are not feasible, protective facings and/or retaining structures should be considered. Where access for landscape maintenance is desired, we recommend a maximum inclination of 3H:1V. Flatter cut slopes or additional drainage measures could be necessary where seepage occurs or if surface surcharge loads are anticipated. 4.6.4 Groundwater Handling The level of effort required for groundwater management during construction will depend to a great extent on the time of year during which construction is completed. Groundwater handling needs will typically be lower during the late summer and early fall months. We recommend earthwork be completed in the late summer or early autumn months when the groundwater level is typically at its lowest elevation and to take advantage of generally dry prevailing conditions. Shallow perched groundwater should be expected to be present around existing creeks or areas with surficial water flow. Low to moderate groundwater seepage should be expected, particularly during the wet season. We anticipate that shallow perched groundwater, if encountered, can be handled adequately with sumps, pumps and/or diversion ditches, as necessary. 330 of 580 Bruce Dees and Associates | December 16, 2024 Page 10 File No. 0693-097-00 4.6.5 Fill Materials 4.6.5.1 REUSE OF ON-SITE SOILS AS STRUCTURAL FILL We anticipate the majority of site soils will consist of a mixture of silt, sand, gravel and cobbles. Native soils can be considered for reuse as structural fill provided, they can be adequately moisture conditioned, placed and compacted as recommended and do not contain organic or other deleterious material. Site soils will likely be very difficult or impossible to properly compact when wet and we recommend they be avoided for reuse if earthwork is planned during wet weather months. In addition, it is possible that existing soils will be generated at moisture contents above what is optimum for compaction. In this case, the soils would need to be moisture conditioned (dried) prior to re-use. Space for drying out material during dryer weather or covering on-site materials generated during wet weather should be considered and incorporated into schedules and budgets. During wetter or even slightly colder times of year, accommodations to cover stockpiled material generated on site that will be used as structural fill should be planned. If earthwork occurs during a typical wet season, or if the soils are persistently wet and cannot be dried back due to prevailing wet weather conditions, we recommend project budgets include contingencies for using imported materials as structural fill. 4.6.5.2 IMPORT STRUCTURAL FILL Imported structural fill should be free of debris, organic contaminants and rock fragments larger than 6 inches. For most applications, we recommend that structural fill consist of material similar to “Select Borrow” or “Gravel Borrow” as described in Section 9-03.14 of the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Standard Specifications. If imported fill is needed during wet weather conditions, we recommend using fill consisting of well-graded sand and gravel or crushed rock with a maximum particle size of 6 inches and less than 5 percent fines by weight based on the minus ¾-inch fraction. In our opinion, material conforming to WSDOT Standard Specifications 9-03.9 (Aggregates for Ballast and Crushed Surfacing), 9-03.10 (Aggregate for Gravel Base) and 9-03.14 (Borrow) are suitable for use as imported fill material during wet weather with the exception that the fines content should be 5 percent or less. 4.6.5.3 TOPSOIL AND STRIPPINGS Topsoil and strippings (e.g., sod and forest duff) may be placed on site provided they are placed in non- structural areas that can tolerate some long-term total and differential settlements. Settlements of organic- rich soils are highly variable and difficult to quantify. Settlement could continue for several years after construction is completed as the organics break down and decompose. Alternatively, topsoil strippings can be hauled off site. 4.7 OTHER SITE DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS 4.7.1 Development within Geologically Hazardous Areas The locations and descriptions of Geologically Hazardous Areas at the site are discussed in Section 3.5.3. Based on our understanding of the City of Renton Critical Areas Regulations (CARs), our observations at the site and our experience, we have developed recommendations that should be considered as part of the mater planning process. 331 of 580 Bruce Dees and Associates | December 16, 2024 Page 11 File No. 0693-097-00 ɵ Grading and site development activities should be avoided within the West Slope Area. As discussed in the City of Renton CARs, construction of new foot trails is an exempt activity within Geologically Hazardous Areas and could be considered within the West Slope Area. We expect that new trails could be located within the eastern half of the west slope area without increasing the geologic hazard or impacting other critical areas. For planning purposes, we recommend that trails not be included within the western half of the West Slope area unless a more detailed assessment of the slope is completed. ɵ Grading and site development activities should be limited within areas identified as Sensitive or Protected Slopes outside of the West Slope Area (see Figure 8). We expect that minor grading activities, such as those associated with the construction of foot trails, small, elevated boardwalks and ADA compliant pathways will still be feasible in most of the Sensitive or Protected Slope areas. ɵ For planning purposes, the locations of structures, roadways, parking areas and grading activities should be planned such that they maintain a minimum 15 foot setback from Protected Slope areas. Ultimately, this buffer may be extended or reduced depending on the planned development and the conditions with the Geologically Hazardous Area. ɵ For planning purposes, the locations of structures, roadways, parking areas and grading activities should be planned such that they maintain a minimum 10 foot setback from Sensitive Slope areas. Ultimately this buffer may be extended or reduced depending on the planned development and the conditions with the Geologically Hazardous Areas. The recommendations provided above are for planning purposes only. If modifications are propsed within Geologically Hazardous Areas, a more detailed assessment should be made to confirm that they can be constructed without negatively impacting the Geologically Hazardous Areas. The setbacks and development restrictions provided are based on our interpretation of the City of Renton CARs and our experience and may need to be modified as project planning progresses. 4.7.2 Homesite Pond Area The existing pond at the homesite along the eastern site boundary appears to be a man-made feature. Due to the age and character of the pond, we do not expect that engineering controls were in place during its construction. As such, it is unclear if the pond embankments, overflow structure and other features meet current design standards. If the pond is to remain, additional investigation of the embankments would be prudent to further evaluate the pond area. As part of the master planning process, we recommend that grading activities, specifically cuts in the topography be avoided or be setback at least 10 feet from the toe of pond embankments. 5.0 Limitations We have prepared this report for the exclusive use of Bruce Dees and Associates and the City of Renton (City) for the Southwest Renton Park Master Plan project in Renton, Washington.

Read These Provisions Closely It is important to recognize that the geoscience practices (geotechnical engineering, geology and environmental science) rely on professional judgment and opinion to a greater extent than other engineering and natural science disciplines, where more precise and/or readily observable data may exist. To help clients better understand how this difference pertains to our services, GeoEngineers includes the following explanatory “limitations” provisions in its reports. Please confer with GeoEngineers if you need to know more how these “Report Limitations and Guidelines for Use” apply to your project or site. Geotechnical Services are Performed for Specific Purposes, Persons and Projects This report has been prepared for Bruce Dees and Associates and for the Project(s) specifically identified in the report. The information contained herein is not applicable to other sites or projects. GeoEngineers structures its services to meet the specific needs of its clients. No party other than the party to whom this report is addressed may rely on the product of our services unless we agree to such reliance in advance and in writing. Within the limitations of the agreed scope of services for the Project, and its schedule and budget, our services have been executed in accordance with our signed agreement for this project dated October 10, 2024and generally accepted geotechnical practices in this area at the time this report was prepared. We do not authorize, and will not be responsible for, the use of this report for any purposes or projects other than those identified in the report. A Geotechnical Engineering or Geologic Report is based on a Unique Set of Project- Specific Factors This report has been prepared for Bruce Dees and Associates for the Sity of Renton – Southwest Renton Park Master Plan Project. GeoEngineers considered a number of unique, project-specific factors when establishing the scope of services for this project and report. Unless GeoEngineers specifically indicates otherwise, it is important not to rely on this report if it was: ɵ Not prepared for you, ɵ Not prepared for your project, ɵ Not prepared for the specific site explored, or ɵ Completed before important project changes were made. For example, changes that can affect the applicability of this report include those that affect: 1 Developed based on material provided by GBA, GeoProfessional Business Association; www.geoprofessional.org. 345 of 580 Bruce Dees and Associates | December 16, 2024 Page A2 File No. 0693-097-00 ɵ The function of the proposed structure; ɵ Elevation, configuration, location, orientation or weight of the proposed structure, ɵ Composition of the design team; or ɵ Project ownership. If changes occur after the date of this report, GeoEngineers cannot be responsible for any consequences of such changes in relation to this report unless we have been given the opportunity to review our interpretations and recommendations. Based on that review, we can provide written modifications or confirmation, as appropriate. Environmental Concerns are Not Covered Unless environmental services were specifically included in our scope of services, this report does not provide any environmental findings, conclusions, or recommendations, including but not limited to, the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or regulated contaminants. Subsurface Conditions Can Change This geotechnical or geologic report is based on conditions that existed at the time the study was performed. The findings and conclusions of this report may be affected by the passage of time, by man-made events such as construction on or adjacent to the site, new information or technology that becomes available subsequent to the report date, or by natural events such as floods, earthquakes, slope instability or groundwater fluctuations. If more than a few months have passed since issuance of our report or work product, or if any of the described events may have occurred, please contact GeoEngineers before applying this report for its intended purpose so that we may evaluate whether changed conditions affect the continued reliability or applicability of our conclusions and recommendations. Geotechnical and Geologic Findings are Professional Opinions Our interpretations of subsurface conditions are based on field observations from widely spaced sampling locations at the site. Site exploration identifies the specific subsurface conditions only at those points where subsurface tests are conducted or samples are taken. GeoEngineers reviewed field and laboratory data and then applied its professional judgment to render an informed opinion about subsurface conditions at other locations. Actual subsurface conditions may differ, sometimes significantly, from the opinions presented in this report. Our report, conclusions and interpretations are not a warranty of the actual subsurface conditions. Geotechnical Engineering Report Recommendations are Not Final We have developed the following recommendations based on data gathered from subsurface investigation(s). These investigations sample just a small percentage of a site to create a snapshot of the subsurface conditions elsewhere on the site. Such sampling on its own cannot provide a complete and accurate view of subsurface conditions for the entire site. Therefore, the recommendations included in this report are preliminary and should not be considered final. GeoEngineers’ recommendations can be finalized only by observing actual subsurface conditions revealed during construction. GeoEngineers cannot assume responsibility or liability for the recommendations in this report if we do not perform construction observation. 346 of 580 Bruce Dees and Associates | December 16, 2024 Page A3 File No. 0693-097-00 We recommend that you allow sufficient monitoring, testing and consultation during construction by GeoEngineers to confirm that the conditions encountered are consistent with those indicated by the explorations, to provide recommendations for design changes if the conditions revealed during the work differ from those anticipated, and to evaluate whether earthwork activities are completed in accordance with our recommendations. Retaining GeoEngineers for construction observation for this project is the most effective means of managing the risks associated with unanticipated conditions. If another party performs field observation and confirms our expectations, the other party must take full responsibility for both the observations and recommendations. Please note, however, that another party would lack our project- specific knowledge and resources. A Geotechnical Engineering or Geologic Report Could Be Subject to Misinterpretation Misinterpretation of this report by members of the design team or by contractors can result in costly problems. GeoEngineers can help reduce the risks of misinterpretation by conferring with appropriate members of the design team after submitting the report, reviewing pertinent elements of the design team’s plans and specifications, participating in pre-bid and preconstruction conferences, and providing construction observation. Do Not Redraw the Exploration Logs Geotechnical engineers and geologists prepare final boring and testing logs based upon their interpretation of field logs and laboratory data. The logs included in a geotechnical engineering or geologic report should never be redrawn for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings. Photographic or electronic reproduction is acceptable but separating logs from the report can create a risk of misinterpretation. Give Contractors a Complete Report and Guidance To help reduce the risk of problems associated with unanticipated subsurface conditions, GeoEngineers recommends giving contractors the complete geotechnical engineering or geologic report, including these “Report Limitations and Guidelines for Use.” When providing the report, you should preface it with a clearly written letter of transmittal that: ɵ Advises contractors that the report was not prepared for purposes of bid development and that its accuracy is limited; and ɵ Encourages contractors to conduct additional study to obtain the specific types of information they need or prefer. Contractors are Responsible for Site Safety on Their Own Construction Projects Our geotechnical recommendations are not intended to direct the contractor’s procedures, methods, schedule or management of the work site. The contractor is solely responsible for job site safety and for managing construction operations to minimize risks to on-site personnel and adjacent properties. 347 of 580 Bruce Dees and Associates | December 16, 2024 Page A4 File No. 0693-097-00 Biological Pollutants GeoEngineers’ Scope of Work specifically excludes the investigation, detection, prevention or assessment of the presence of Biological Pollutants. Accordingly, this report does not include any interpretations, recommendations, findings or conclusions regarding the detecting, assessing, preventing or abating of Biological Pollutants, and no conclusions or inferences should be drawn regarding Biological Pollutants as they may relate to this project. The term “Biological Pollutants” includes, but is not limited to, molds, fungi, spores, bacteria and viruses, and/or any of their byproducts. A Client that desires these specialized services is advised to obtain them from a consultant who offers services in this specialized field. Information Provided by Others GeoEngineers has relied upon certain data or information provided or compiled by others in the performance of our services. Although we use sources that we reasonably believe to be trustworthy, GeoEngineers cannot warrant or guarantee the accuracy or completeness of information provided or compiled by others. 348 of 580 BRUCE DEES & ASSOCIATES CITY OF RENTON CLEVELAND-RICHARDSON PARK MASTER PLAN REPORT CLEVELANDͳ RICHARDSON PARK CRITICAL AREAS REPORT APPENDIX E.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PROJECT OVERVIEW The City of Renton Parks and Recreation Department, having recently acquired a 24-acre property near the Talbot neighborhood in the southwest part of the city, is currently pursuing plans to develop the land into a new community park. The new park, which will be named the Cleveland-Richardson Park after the family that called the property home for several generations, is envisioned to ll a g ap in park access within the Talbot neighborhood and southwest Renton in general and will help to ful ll the department’s stated goal of providing access to developed parks and trails within a ten-minute walk, or about half a mile, from every resident’s home in the city. In support of these e orts, the City of Renton has contracted with Bruce Dees & Associates to provide master planning and design services to identify potential park uses and opportunities. One of the important considerations that will inform the overall park master plan is what role the existing built structures will play in the future uses of the park. The built structures include the original farm’s homestead built in 1937 and an out- building constructed to support the operations of the farm sometime later. ARC Architects is an Architecture rm based in Sea ttle, WA and is a sub-consultant on the Bruce Dees design team. ARC’s role is to assess the opportunities and challenges of o ered by the existing structures in a variety of potential scenarios being considered for their future use. In assessing the condition and opportunities of the existing facilities present at the Cleveland-Richardson Park, ARC’s team considered the structures from two perspectives: the physical condition of the existing buildings and their ability to accommodate potential alternate programmatic uses in support of park functions. ARC participated in a site walk on November 6th, 2024, the purpose of which was to become familiar with the site and facilities, document the existing structures through photos and site measurements, visually examine the buildings interiors and exteriors to assess their condition, and meet the Cleveland-Richardson family to hear rst-person accounts of th e property’s history. On January 9th, 2025, ARC participated in a virtual meeting to discuss the potential future uses being considered for adaptive reuse renovations of the existing buildings. Potential future uses discussed, a caretaker’s residence, a day-use workshop/maintenance building, and a visitor’s/interpretive center. Subsequently, ARC conducted code research and conceptual space planning to determine the adaptability and suitability of the potential future uses to the existing structures. 533 of 580 CITY OF RENTON CLEVELANDRICHARDSON FACILITY ASSESSMENT REPORT FEB 2025 3 A EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FINDINGS OVERVIEW CONDITION’S ASSESSMENT ARC found the existing farmhouse to be in moderately good condition having been continuously occupied and well cared for over the years. Setting aside code-required upgrades, improvements to the structure’s existing systems would be necessitated by preemptive and ongoing maintenance or historic preservation rather than concerns of imminent failure. By contrast, the existing out-building is currently in a state of severe disrepair and would require replacement or robust repairs to all major systems including structure and building envelope in order to be salvaged for future use. ZONING CODE While a caretaker’s residence is a use that is permitted outright by the property’s existing zoning code designation (Residential 1), a change of use to either a day-use maintenance building or a visitor’s/interpretive center would require jurisdictional approval. The closest match for a day-use maintenance building in the zoning code is either government maintenance facility or government o ces, neither are permitted outright or conditionally. If the Parks Department wishes to pursue this use, we advise discussions with the City to determine if the use could be considered an accessory use to the park - and therefore allowed. A visitor’s center is a conditional use which can be approved via a hearing examiner action. BUILDING CODE Given the existing farmhouse’s age, it is clearly grandfathered into code compliance in its current state. If Parks were to use the building as a caretaker’s residence it would stay a residential use and therefore retain its grandfathered code compliance status. In this scenario it would not be required to be brought into code compliance with current codes. It should be discussed with the authority having jurisdiction what level of improvements could be undertaken before full code compliance is required on the grounds of exceeding thresholds of substantial alteration. Both of the other future use options being considered (day-use maintenance building and visitor’s/interpretive center) are clearly changes of use and would require the building being brought into code compliance with all currently adopted codes including: structural, energy, and accessibility codes. HISTORIC VALUE A review of the Washington Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation’s (DAHP) WISAARD database indicates that the building is not currently listed or identi ed as a historic resource. As a result, the property is not subject to preservation-related res trictions, meaning that modi cations, renovations, or adaptive reuse projects can be undertaken without regulatory constraints tied to historic design ation. Whether or not potential building improvements or modi cations follow good practices of historic preservation would be at the owner’s discretion. CONCEPTUAL OPTIONS FOR FUTURE USES In general, the construction and layout of the existing farmhouse is most easily adapted into a caretaker’s residence with few to no structural or layout changes required. Accommodating the programmatic needs of either the day-use maintenance building or a visitor’s center would likely result in more structural, layout, and openings changes in order to allow for the unique functions of those building programs.

For the former, ARC participated in a site walk on November 6th, 2024. The purpose of which was to familiarize ourselves with the site and facilities, take as-built measurements of the structures, and visually examine the buildings interiors and exteriors to assess their condition. For the latter, ARC participated in a virtual meeting on January 9th, 2025 to discuss the potential future uses being considered for adaptive reuse renovations. Subsequently, ARC conducted code research and conceptual space planning to determine the adaptability and suitability of potential future uses. There are two existing structures remaining on the property: the farmhouse building and an out building. The ndings related to the physical condition of these two structures can be found immediately below: In the Fall of 20242, ARC conducted facility conditions assessment of the following properties: Cleveland-Richardson existing farmhouse Cleveland-Richardson existing out building Site and building elements were grouped into components. Components ndings include the following: Site Visual examination of the hardscape and landscape features will primarily be undertaken by others. The grade and primary pedestrian and vehicular surfaces would not be considered accessible in many areas and would need to be replaced in order to serve public visitors. In addition, there are several areas, particularly on the northern side of the out building where vegetation has grown over parts of the building structure and mass clearing is required. Farmhouse Exterior and Interior (architectural and limited structural elements) Visual examination of roof material, ashing, penetrations, other appurtenances on the roof. Exterior walls, windows and doors were examined for irregularities, wear and damage. Visual evaluation of the building envelope included roo ng, exterior skin, signs of water intrusions, and windows. Interior nishes were observed for de ciencies and wear. In general, the building envelope was well kept and did not show obvious signs of moisture or water intrusion. While neither the asphalt shingle sloped roof nor the at roof over the garage addition appears to be new, they remain in moderately good shape without obvious signs of leaking. It is recommended that any future renovation include roof replacement given the age of the existing installations and the inherent challenges of at roofs in ge neral. Windows and doors appear to fall into two categories: aluminum windows at the 1964 garage addition (presumably original to that work) and vinyl windows at all original building locations. The vinyl windows are not original and it is unknown when they were added to the existing building. Interior nishes appear to be well kept and exhibit no obvious signs of severe deterioration such as from water or re damage. Due to normal wear and tear, depending on the desired future use, interior nishes should be upgraded to match the functionali ty required by the future use. Out Building Exterior and Interior (architectural and limited structural elements) A visual examination of the roof, exterior envelope, and building interiors show this structure to be in severe decay. Virtually no building components are usable or salvageable into the future. It is advisable that if it is desired to keep the structure on site, a few short term corrections be undertaken immediately: remove all of the encroaching vegetation within at least 10’, replace the roof, scrape and repaint the building exteriors, install a working gutter and downspout system for directing water away from the base of the building, and grade the soils away from the building base. These mitigating steps are necessary in the short term to preserve the building in its current state. Long term improvements would be determined by the master plan and type of use the structure would serve on the site. ADA Compliance If an accessible path were created, through grading and resurfacing, to connect parking areas to the existing farmhouse the basement level of the facility could provide an at-grade access point to that level. Neither the main entry level nor the top level are accessible at this time. Creating an accessible path to the level of the main entry could be accomplished with an accessible ramp at the front door. Creating an accessible path to the top level would require the addition of an interior or exterior lift or ramp. Depending on the desired future use of the buildings, di erent levels of accessible upgrades would be recommended. See future use concepts in ‘Chapter C - Future Program Planning’. Structural Elements A detailed structural evaluation was not part of this assessment. Given the age of the building and construction practices from that era, it is unlikely that the building would be compliant with current structural codes. 536 of 580 CITY OF RENTON CLEVELANDRICHARDSON FACILITY ASSESSMENT REPORT FEB 2025 6 B FACILITY CONDITION ASSESSMENT ZONING CODE ANALYSIS Use Designation: Residential Low Density Zone: Residential-1 (R-1) The Residential-1 Zone (R-1) is established to provide and protect suitable environments for residential development of lands characterized by pervasive critical areas where limited residential development will not compromise critical areas. It is intended to implement the Low Density Residential Comprehensive Plan designation. The zone provides for suburban estate single family and clustered single family residential dwellings, at a maximum density of one dwelling unit per net acre, and allows for small scale farming associated with residential use. Density bonus provisions, of up to eighteen (18) dwelling units per acre, are intended to allow assisted living to develop with higher densities within the zone. It is further intended to protect critical areas, provide separation between neighboring jurisdictions through designation of urban separators as adopted by the County-wide Policies, and prohibit the development of incompatible uses that may be detrimental to the residential or natural environment.

Originally serving as the primary residence for a once-extensive orchard, the home has received a major renovation and addition in the early 1960’s and has since remained largely unaltered and intact over the following years. A review of the Washington Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation’s (DAHP) WISAARD database indicates that the building is not currently listed or identi ed as a historic resource. As a result, the property is not subject to preservation-related restrictions, meaning that modi cations, renovations, or adaptive reuse projects can be undertaken without regulatory constraints tied to historic designation. This lack of formal historical status provides an opportunity for the project team and community stakeholders to assess and determine the most practical and bene cial future use of the space without limitations imposed by preservation guidelines. Potential future changes of use for the property would be allowed from an historic designation standpoint, including continued residential occupancy as a caretakers house, conversion into a community gathering space, a local history or agricultural education center, or a mixed-use facility integrating both residential and commercial elements. When considering the future functions that may be housed in the Cleveland-Richardson house, one consideration is whether the future use would be compatible with incorporating elements of the house’s original character with any renovation e orts -- blending preservation with modern functionality -- or whether the use would require more robust alterations and improvements . Future programming alterations to the existing house and any additions should carefully balance functional needs with the preservation of its historic character, prioritizing the retention of as much of the original 1937 structure as possible. To minimize impact, modi cations should be strategically placed on less prominent elevations, ensuring that the size, scale, and massing remain in keeping with the historic home. Additions and alterations should be visually distinct yet take design cues from the original building, avoiding direct replication to maintain the integrity and authenticity of the historic structure. The existing 1960s addition does not follow these preservation strategies. If alterations are planned for this area, emphasis should be placed on visually separating the two volumes through scale, setbacks, and materials. Additionally, incorporating design cues from the original farmhouse —such as roof forms, fenestration, and trim details will help create a cohesive relation between these two forms while still having a clear distinction between the original and addition.

Discussed in that meeting were the potential future uses that the existing farmhouse could become with the development of a new city park at this location. ARC has focussed on three potential renovation options which are organized from least to most intensive. They include: a caretaker’s residence, featuring primarily historic preservation upgrades, maintenance improvements, systems upgrades, select new nishes, and targeted architectural improvements to support modest changes in progr am; a day-use workshop and maintenance building, with large, open workshop maintenance areas, classrooms, meeting space, and a tech- focused learning space; and a visitor and interpretive center, including exhibit spaces, a gift shop, an AV/Theater, and a café with library and seating area. The day-use workshop and maintenance building option and the visitor and interpretive center option are both changes of use and would require code-driven upgrades, including bringing the building into compliance with the latest adopted structural, energy, and accessibility codes. Coordination and con rmation with the authority having jurisdiction is recommended in the form of a pre-a pplication meeting once plans are formulated. From a historic preservation perspective, there would certainly be more visible changes to the farmhouse with the visitor center or maintenance building options then the caretaker’s residence option. In any case it would be important for design changes to be implemented in a way that enhances and modernizes the existing building while preserving as much of the existing character as possible while accommodating the new use. While this assessment did not include engineering consultants such as mechanical, electrical, or plumbing, engineers, it is assumed that all utilities would be su cient for the caretaker residence option due to its close alignment with current use. If the preferred direction is to pursue one of the change of use options, it is recommended that engineers are brought on to determine existing utility capacities and improvements are designed with those in mind to limit the need for increased service capacity. FUTURE USE OUT BUILDING OPTIONS Located due west of the existing farmhouse is a small out building which is the only other remaining structure on the site other than the farmhouse building. The structure is split level construction with a person-door access point at the upper level and a large, equipment-sized access door at the lower level. The entire area is approximately 250 SF in size with about half of that accessible at-grade from each level. The out building has not been maintained to the level of the main house and has been severely eroded by weather and encroaching vegetation. If retained on site, it would require signi cant e ort to bring the structure into compliance with current code. Keeping the structure as either a materials and equipment storage building (no change of use) or preserved solely as a historic piece of the original farm (unoccupied) may allow for more modest upgrades and would likely not require compliance with current structural, energy and accessibility codes. Parks could focus on maintenance improvements, historic preservation, and exterior and interior nishes. If the building were to be repurp osed into another use, and particularly an occupied use, more robust regulatory compliance should be expected. There is a high probability that any upgrades undertaken would uncover currently unforeseen conditions including non-structurally sound materials. 545 of 580 CITY OF RENTON CLEVELANDRICHARDSON FACILITY ASSESSMENT REPORT FEB 2025 15 C POTENTIAL PROGRAM PLANNING OPTION A : CARETAKERS HOUSE One potential future use of the existing farmhouse would be a caretaker’s residence. This use would provide for a permanent, day and night, presence at the park to keep an eye on things, assess maintenance concerns as they arise, and interact with park visitor ’s. This option has the fewest regulatory hurdles as it would likely not result in a change of use categorization thus avoiding the accessibility, structural and energy upgrades that can otherwise be triggered. Updates for this option could therefore be focused on historic preservation, maintenance concerns, systems improvements, nishes, and targeted architectural improvements to support modest changes in program. The fact that the basement level of the existing structure is currently at-grade via the garage entrance presents an interesting opportunity for consideration: the garage and main basement room are spaces where the public could potentially have access even in the ‘Caretaker House’ option. Possible uses for this area could include public restrooms, outdoor equipment storage, a medical station, a meeting room, or a small visitor center focused on the house’s history. We recommend a conversation with the AHJ to understand what level of access would be allowed before use-change related improvements become required. Alternatively, public restrooms could be added as an addition or standalone building that is designed to t the character of the existing farmhouse and site. Because this option’s use is staying a residential use, the garage functions would likely be limited to the functions typically found in a residential garage: light maintenance, arts & crafts, storage, game or bonus room, etc. OPTION A : CARETAKERS HOUSE - FLOOR 01 LIVING KITCHEN BEDROOM DINING BATH FRONT ROOM OPTION A : CARETAKERS HOUSE - FLOOR 02OPTION A : CARETAKERS HOUSE - BASEMENT BEDROOM BEDROOM BEDROOM CLOSET STORAGE BATH CL O S E T BEDROOM GARAGE / WORKSHOP COMMUNITY ROOM STORAGE UTILITY ROOM BOILER STORAGE BATH 546 of 580 CITY OF RENTON CLEVELANDRICHARDSON FACILITY ASSESSMENT REPORT FEB 2025 16 C POTENTIAL PROGRAM PLANNING OPTION B : DAY USE WORKSHOP / MAINTENANCE BUILDING - FLOOR 01 OPTION B : DAY USE WORKSHOP / MAINTENANCE BUILDING Another potential future use for the existing farmhouse is conversion into a day-use workshop and maintenance building to provide support for not just this park’s functions but broader Park’s Department functions as well. This type of use-change would trigger more robust, code-driven upgrades, including bringing the building into compliance with the latest adopted structural, energy, and accessibility codes. Functions that could be accommodated with approach are a variety of hands-on activities and skill-based learning, maintenance and on-going operations of the park, and o ce or administrative areas designed as either permanent or ‘hoteling’ stations. In the plan option shown below, the basement features two large open workshop areas, providing ample space for woodworking, repairs, and other maintenance projects which can be accessed via the existing garage level. A dedicated tool room is included to store and organize equipment e ciently. On the top level, bedrooms can be converted to a variety of specialized classrooms to support Park’s Department training sessions, as well as break-out and meeting rooms. By including a large classroom or computer room on the main level, accessibility concerns can be mitigated through a ramp at the primary entrance -- avoiding the need for an elevator to the top level. This exible multi-purpose space, complete with an adjoining kitchen for communal use, could be used for techno logy- focused workshops such as 3D printing, laser cutting, or digital fabrication to support either Park or Parks Department needs. This option prioritizes adaptability and engagement, o ering a dynamic space for a variety of functions.

This type of use-change would trigger more robust, code-driven upgrades, including bringing the building into compliance with the latest adopted structural, energy, and accessibility codes. Given the public nature of this type of building use, it is recommended that the upgrades include an elevator and emphasize universal design principals. In the plan option shown below, visitor’s would enter the main building level through the current front door where a reception desk would be located for inquiries and assistance. The spaces are organized around a central, vertical circulation core where a new elevator would be added. Program spaces would encircle this core allowing them access to daylight and views and include a gift shop, cafe, library/ seating area and administrative functions. The basement and top level of the building would primarily house a variety of exhibit spaces which would showcase interactive displays and educational content. If this option were selected for additional study, a programming e ort would need to be undertaken to better understand the use needs, but the concept shown below includes a linear exhibit layout, guiding guests through a curated sequence of displays that lead to an AV/Theater space at the end, where a short video presentation would conclude the experience. This design creates a welcoming and versatile environment for learning, relaxation, and community.

Grady Way Renton WA 98057 RE: Waived Fees Request for Willow Crest II Townhomes Affordable Homeownership Project Dear Ms. Estep: I am writing to request a waiver of permit and impact mitigation fees under RMC 4.1.210 for the Willow Crest II Townhomes affordable homeownership project in the Sunset Area. The project is part of the Sunset Area Transformation Plan and a collaborative development between Homestead Community Land Trust and the Renton Housing Authority. RHA is donating the land for the project which will be adjacent to Willow Crest I and RHA's Glennwood Townhomes affordable rental housing project. The Willow Crest Townhomes project involves the new construction of 19 townhomes, all on separately platted lots, all of which will be sold to households below 80% of area median income at affordable prices. The homes will be permanently affordable. Specifically, the land under the homes will be owned by Homestead Community Land Trust, and as a condition of the land lease the resale prices will be restricted such that the homes will be affordable to future buyers under 80% of area median income. Homestead h as been developing and stewarding the affordability of resale restricted housing for 32 years and has nearly 250 homes in the Trust. Homestead will have affordability covenants with King County, which will monitor the ongoing affordability of the homes.
