Dear Richard,
Thank you for your comments on Puget Sound Energy’s Energize Eastside Conditional Use Permit
Application, your comments have been included in the official file for consideration by the decision
maker. In addition, you have been added as a party of record for this project, as a party of record,
you will receive copies of correspondence from the City on this project. Your original email to me
included concerns related to project need. My responses to your comments are provided below:
1. Project Need: The proposed transmission line upgrade is permitted within the City of
Renton subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by the Hearing Examiner.
The City’s regulations do not require that the applicant demonstrate that the project in
needed in order for a Conditional Use Permit to be granted. However, PSE has conducted
studies regarding the need of the project during the EIS process (See Appendix K, starting on
page K-141 of the FEIS).
A public hearing on the proposal has been tentatively scheduled for December 17th at 9:00 am in the
City Council Chambers located on the 7th floor of City Hall, you may wish to attend and testify.
Please let me know if you have additional questions regarding this project.
Thank you,
