Approvals.
DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: January 26, 2022
PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: Engr1 Comcast / LUA21-000335, NV-A
PROJECT LOCATION: N 30th St near the intersection of Park Ave N and N 30th St
APPLICANT/PROJECT CONTACT
PERSON:
Jose A. Cosme, Potelco, Inc. / 1216 140th Ave Ct E, Sumner,
WA 98390 / josecosme@pse.com
LOCATION WHERE APPLICATION
MAY BE REVIEWED:
Applicant documents are available online through the City of Renton Document
Center website. See also https://cutt.ly/BI2DfTK
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Potelco, Inc., is requesting an administrative noise variance from RMC 8-7-2
(Noise Level Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) in order to replace aging wood distribution poles,
raise and replace street lights, upgrade select electrical equipment, and other secondary work in the Kennydale
Community Planning Area. The project’s starting location is near 903 N 36th St, moves towards the intersection of N
30th St and Park Ave N, and ends near 2417 Jones Ave NE. Near the intersection of N 30th St and Park Ave N, the
applicant is proposing to replace Pole 09, located north of 1305 N 30th St, to prevent a power outage to four (4)
businesses during the daytime. The proposed night time work is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, March 8, 2022
from 9:00 pm to 5:00 am. It is anticipated that the distribution pole would be set during the day and transfer of the
equipment would occur at night. An alternate work window may be required to complete the night work.
Noise levels resulting from project construction activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 80 to 95 dBA as
perceived at the source of the noise. These sound levels are expected to diminish from the source of the noise. A variance
from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the night time work, as maximum permissible environmental noise
levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm to
7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). The pieces of equipment that are proposed to be utilized to complete
the work include a vacuum truck, bucket truck, 1 ton truck, and 1 ton flat bed.
