SUBJECT: Notice of Cancelled Land Use Applications (File LUA16-000715 and
LUA16-000716)
Dear Mr. Nguyen,
This letter serves as notice that the two applications submitted to the City of Renton for
Environmental (SEPA) Review and Conditional Use Permits (LUA16-000715 and LUA16-
000716) have been cancelled because the application is deemed incomplete. Additional
items needed for a complete application have not yet been completely submitted.
The City provided notice by letter on October 18, 2016 that the application was
incomplete. Per RMC 4-8-100:C.2.b, the required information required for a complete
application needed to be submitted within 90 days of the written notice. The timeframe
for submittal of the additional materials was provided in an email to you dated
December 6, 2016. 1 received your acknowledgement via email the same day with
confirmation that you intended to submit the materials in advance of the January 16,
2017 deadline.
As the requested application material was not provided, the two Conditional Use Permit
applications LUA16-000715 for Data Transport U.P. (9WAX000311A), and LUA 16-
000716 for Data Transport U.P. (9WAX000309A) are cancelled. The City will retain the
application materials for approximately one month should you wish to retrieve them for
future use. If the application materials are not picked -up by May 15th, the City will
dispose of them. In addition, public notification signs posted on the proposed project
sites will need to be removed within 30 days. Thank you for your cooperation in this
regard.

While I understand that there may be number of reasons that Mobilitie is in somewhat
of a holding pattern with regard to its activities in the City of Renton, it is not my
intention to end all discussions with Mobilitie at this time. I encourage you to schedule a
meeting once Mobilitie is ready to resume its projects in the City of Renton so that we
may reach a mutually agreeable solution.
As always, if you have any questions you may contact me via telephone at 425-430-7286
or email at Or, you may contact Jill Ding„ Senior Planner at
iding(@rentonwa.gov.
Sincerely,
Jennifer T. Henning, AiCP

SUBJECT, Application for Conditional Use Permits — Notice of Incomplete
Application (File LUA16-000715 and LUA16-000716)
Dear Mr. Nguyen,
Thank you for providing the affidavit of sign installation for the Conditional Use Permits
Mobilitle is seeking for the two applications that have been submitted to the City
(LUA16-000715 and LUA16-000716). It has come to my attention that an additional
item is needed in order to accept your application and begin formal review. That is, the
owner of the property where the facilities are proposed must sign the Land Use Permit
Master Application Form. Since the City of Renton is the owner of the right-of-way, a
franchise is the normal and customary means by which the City grants permission for
utilities or facilities to be located in the right-of-way.
Previous correspondence (enclosed) from the City to Ben R. Johnson dated March 25,
2016 states that a franchise agreement must be negotiated with the City of Renton
before any work can proceed; and, Mobilitie could pursue the Conditional Use Permit
while negotiating a franchise with the City. In addition, in email correspondence
(enclosed) dated August 4, 2016 between from you to W. Scott Snyder, Jill Ding, and
Alex Tuttle, you acknowledged that "..all parties understand that no permits will be
issued prior to finalization of a franchise agreement."
Therefore, in order to have a complete application and proceed with formal acceptance
of the applications for review and to set the date of the public hearing, Mobilitie must
apply for its franchise and submit the required $5,000 franchise fee at your earliest
convenience.
