HomeMy WebLinkAbout09 - Construction Mitigation DescriptionSeptember 30, 2016 City of Renton 1055 S. Grady Way Renton, WA 98057 Subject: Firestone Complete Autocare – Renton, WA – Construction Mitigation Description The purpose of this letter is to outline the construction mitigation and operations associated with the proposed Firestone Complete Autocare. Proposed Development The subject property is approximately 0.88 acres and is located at 17808 108th Ave SE in Renton, Washington. The site is within the Commercial Arterial (CA) District. The proposed development consists of the construction of a Firestone automobile tire and service center with associated access drives and service bays. Hours of Operation Store management will set operating hours closer to the opening date; however, the local Firestones are typically open to the public Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 pm, and Sundays from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Deliveries Delivery of vehicular parts and supplies are made on-site and typically require the presence of associates to receive the delivery. Delivery vehicles will enter the main access of 108th Ave SE and travel to the loading zone to the east side of the building. Employees will unload the delivery vehicles through the door nearest to the loading zone. Proposed Construction The construction for the proposed Firestone store in Renton, WA is estimated to start during Summer of 2017 be completed during Fall of 2017. Construction Hours All site improvements and construction activities will occur between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Construction Mitigation Measures Firestone will implement construction best management practices, including the following, to reduce construction noise: Locate stationary construction equipment as far from adjacent occupied buildings as possible. Select routes for movement of construction related vehicles and equipment so that noise sensitive areas, including outdoor recreation areas, are avoided as much as possible. All construction equipment will meet Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) noise standards and shall be equipped with muffling devices. Prior to construction, the applicant will post on the site the allowable hours of construction activity. Firestone will implement the following mitigation measures during all construction phases to reduce impacts associated with construction dust to the extent feasible, as determined by the City Engineer. Water all active construction areas up to twice daily. Cover all trucks hauling soil, sand, and other loose materials to or from the Project Area. Pave, apply water up to three times daily, or apply (non-toxic) soil stabilizers on all unpaved access roads, parking areas and staging areas at construction sites. Sweep (with water sweepers) if visible soil material is carried onto adjacent public streets. Hydroseed or apply (non-toxic) soil stabilizers to inactive construction areas (previously graded areas inactive for ten days or more). Enclose, cover, water up to twice daily or apply (non-toxic) soil binders to exposed stockpiles (dirt, sand, etc.). Limit traffic speeds on unpaved roads to 15 mph. Install sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff to public roadways. Replant vegetation in distributed areas as quickly as possible. Firestone will develop and provide a construction access plan to be reviewed and approved by the city Engineer. This plan will include, at a minimum, the following construction traffic management strategies for each phase of development: A set of comprehensive traffic control measures, including the scheduling of major truck trips and deliveries to avoid peak traffic hours, detour signs and flag persons if required, lane closure procedures, signs, cones for drivers, and designated construction access routes. Provisions for parking spaces for all construction workers for each phase of constructions. The location of construction staging areas for materials, equipment, and vehicles. The identification of haul routes for the movement of construction vehicles that would minimize impacts on vehicular traffic, circulation, and safety; and a provision for monitoring surface streets used for haul routes so that any damage and debris attributable to the haul tracks can be identified and corrected.
