Please see the accompanying Tree Inventory Map and Tree Evaluation Data spreadsheet for reference to this report. 1. Site Conditions and Proposed Development The property is located in Renton off Grady Way in an office/industrial/retail area. It’s currently developed with a cinema complex and an access road. A critical area stream corridor runs across the site behind the building along the southern boundary. The proposed development of the site is to remove the existing building and to re-develop the site with a 270 unit multi-family building including covered parking. The critical area stream corridor will remain and not be impacted by the development. 2. Tree Inventory Results I visited the site recently to conduct an inventory and gather information on all of the trees. All of the trees were labeled by the surveyors with numbered metal tags which correspond to the numbers on the inventory map and in the tree evaluation data spreadsheet. I conducted visual condition assessments according to the methods and procedures specified in the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Manual (2013) by viewing them up close to observe the trunk and root collar and from afar to observe conditions in the crown. The tree evaluation data spreadsheet provides information on all of the trees. In total, I conducted on 63 trees; 31 in the developable portion of the site around the building and 32 in the critical area stream corridor. 1 DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE: July 31, 2017 TO: Matt Herrera, Senior Planner FROM: Brianne Bannwarth, Development Engineering Manager SUBJECT: Traffic Concurrency Test – VIA 405 Apartments; LUA17-000237, ECF, PUD The applicant is requesting a Preliminary Planned Urban Development (PUD) land use decision and threshold determination under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) for the construction of a mixed use building with 270 multi-family dwelling units, ground floor commercial and residential amenity space, ground floor and second floor structured parking, and associated improvements. The property is located within the Commercial Office (CO) zoning classification and Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) land use designation. The site's existing theater building will be removed. Access to the property is provided via existing vehicle driveway easements within the Renton Village Shopping Center connecting to S. Grady Way and S. Renton Village Pl. with new pedestrian connections proposed to these streets with the proposal. The proposed development would generate a reduction of approximately 340 net new average weekday daily trips. During the weekday AM peak hour, the project would generate approximately 64 net new trips (5 inbound and 59 outbound). During the weekday PM peak hour, the project would generate a reduction of approximately 102 net new trips (43 inbound and 59 outbound). The proposed project passes the City of Renton Traffic Concurrency Test per RMC 4- 6-070.D as follows: DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Page 1 of 3 LUA**-000*** ADVISORY NOTES TO APPLICANT The following notes are supplemental information provided in conjunction with the administrative land use action.

See Attached Development Engineering Memo dated July 28, 2017 ADVISORY NOTES TO APPLICANT Page 2 of 3 LUA17-000237 Fire Authority: (Contact: Corey Thomas, 425-430-7024, cthomas@rentonwa.gov) 1. Fire impact fees are applicable at the rate of $495.10 per multifamily unit. This fee is paid at time of building permit issuance. The fee increases to $718.56 per unit on January 1st, 2017. Credit will be granted for the removal of the existing building. No charges apply to parking garage areas. 2. The preliminary fire flow is 3,750 gpm. A minimum of four fire hydrants is required. One within 150- feet and three within 300-feet of the building. Project shall meet maximum hydrant spacing of 300- feet on center also. Hydrants are required within 50-feet of the fire department connection for the standpipe and sprinkler system. A new looped fire main is required around the entire building. A number of lengthy water main extensions and replacements are required in order to meet this fire flow requirement as fire flow is inadequate as it exists. 3. Approved fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems are required throughout the building. Dry standpipes are required in all stairways. Direct outside access is required to the fire sprinkler riser room. Fire alarm system is required to be fully addressable and full detection is required. Separate plans and permits required by the fire department. 4.

Testing shall verify both incoming and outgoing minimum emergency radio signal coverage. If inadequate, the building shall be enhanced with amplification equipment in order to meet minimum coverage. Separate plans and permits are required for any proposed amplification systems. Community Services: (Contact: Name, 425-430-6619, lbetlach@rentonwa.gov) 1. Parks Impact fee per Ordinance 5824 applies. Police: (Contact: Cyndie Parks, 425-430-7521, cparks@rentonwa.gov) 224 Police Calls for Service Estimated CONSTRUCTION PHASE 1. To protect materials and equipment it is recommended that all materials and tools be locked up when not in use. The site will need security lighting and any construction trailers should be completely fenced in with portable chain link fencing. Fencing will provide both a physical and psychological barrier to any prospective thief and will demonstrate that this area is private property. Construction trailers should be kept locked when not in use, and should also have a heavy duty deadbolt installed with no less then a 1 1/2” throw when bolted. Glass windows in the trailer should be shatter resistant. Any construction material that contains copper should be removed from the construction site at the end of each working day; housing this material at the site will only tempt thieves to try and steal it. Toolboxes and storage containers should be secured with heavy duty padlocks and kept locked when not in use or removed from site altogether. ADVISORY NOTES TO APPLICANT Page 3 of 3 LUA17-000237 2. I also recommend the business post the appropriate “No Trespassing” signs on the property while it’s under construction. This will aid police in making arrests on the property after hours if suspects are observed vandalizing or stealing building materials. The use of private security personnel to patrol the site during the hours of darkness is recommended. COMPLETED BUILDING 1. All exterior doors should be made of solid metal or metal over wood, with heavy duty deadbolt locks, latch guards or pry resistant cylinders around the locks and peepholes. If glass doors are used, they should be fitted with the hardware described above and additionally be fitted with a layer of security film. Security film can increase the strength of the glass by up to 300%, greatly reducing the likelihood of breaking glass to gain entry. Access to the back of any retail buildings should be limited, or at minimum, only accessed via keypad or locking hardware that can’t be tampered with from the outside. 2. It is recommended that any outside common areas be monitored with surveillance cameras to include the limited access parking garage levels. It’s not uncommon for multi housing properties to experience theft and/or vandalism during the hours of darkness. An auxiliary security service could be used to patrol the property (this includes the limited access garages), especially during the hours of darkness. Any alternative entrances should have controlled access doors to prevent trespassing. 3. All areas of this project need to have adequate lighting. This will assist in the deterrent of theft from motor vehicle (one of the most common crimes in Renton) as well as provide safe pedestrian travel for both employees and residents. Signage advising residents and guests to keep valuables out of their vehicles while parked should be heavily posted in all parking areas (to include the limited access garages). 4. Landscaping should be installed with the objective of allowing visibility – not too dense and not too high. Too much landscaping will make residents and their guests feel isolated and will provide criminals with concealment to commit crimes such as burglary and theft. With the expanse of land surrounding this site, there is also the possibility of attracting transients to the area. 5. The limited access garage will be a very tempting target for auto thieves. Theft from motor vehicle and auto theft are prevalent and any garage housing vehicles utilized by visitors, employees, and /or residents are likely to be items of value left inside (electronic equipment, GPS units, garage fobs, etc.). I recommend the installation, and substantial advertisement of, surveillance cameras inside and outside any limited access garage, an overabundance of lighting, and a noticeable presence of courtesy patrol. I assume there will be a large influx of unwanted curiosity seekers brought into this particular area due to its isolated location and ease of access. Police will not be monitoring, towing or citing vehicles onsite or in garages so the utilizing of security patrol services is highly recommended for this property. 6. All dumpster areas should be housed within a structure of a height and strength that will deter loitering subjects from gaining access to them when not in service. Due to the location of this development, I would assume it will experience a population of transients and having easy access to trash receptacles will motivate them to remain in the area. 7. I highly recommend that the developer have a Renton Police Crime Prevention Representative conduct a security survey of the premises once construction is complete. This will allow for a more comprehensive security evaluation that would be specific to each structure. Contact Cyndie Parks, 425.430.7521, when you would like to make an appointment. DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE: July 28, 2017 TO: Mathew Herrera, Senior Planner FROM: Ann Fowler, Civil Plan Reviewer SUBJECT: Utility and Transportation Comments for VIA 405 Apartments 25 South Grady Way LUA16-000866 I have reviewed the application for the VIA 405 Apartments at 25 South Grady Way (APN(‘s) 7232000010) and have the following comments: EXISTING CONDITIONS The site is approximately 2.6 acres in size and is square in shape. The existing site contains a 38,000 square foot cinema building, surface parking and landscaping. The site is bordered by neighboring commercial sites to the north, east and west, and is bordered by Rolling Hills Creek and Interstate 405 to the south. Water Water service is provided by the City of Renton. The site is in the Valley service area in the 196 hydraulic pressure zone.

Streets The project is bordered by I-405 to the south. Future widening of I-405 may impact the buildable portion of the proposed Lot. VIA 405 Apartments – LUA16-000866 Page 2 of 6 CODE REQUIREMENTS WATER 1. Based on the information submitted with the land use application, Renton Regional Fire Authority has determined that the preliminary fire flow demand for the development is 3,750 gpm. This exceeds the available capacity of the 8-inch water mains servicing the development. 2. The proposed water main improvements as shown on the composite utility civil plan submitted with the Land Use Application provides the required extension of a new 12-inch water main from the end of the existing 12-inch main near the southwest corner of the building at 501 S Grady Way to the northeast corner of the subject property. The applicant is providing the required looped 12-inch water main around the building since the fire flow demand is above 2,500 gpm. The installation of the proposed 12-inch water main continues from the southwest corner of the new looped water main to an existing 8-inch main located in the south access road. a. A 15-ft water easement is required for the looped water main. b. If the water mains are outside the subject property or outside of existing easements, the applicant shall acquire additional easement from adjacent property owners. Portion of existing easement within the proposed building footprint will need to be vacated by the City. No buildings, structures or vaults shall be placed within the easement area and within 5 feet of the water main. 3. Installation of fire hydrants shall be as required by Renton Fire Prevention will be required. The number and location of the hydrants shall be determined based on the City’s review of the final building and site plans. 4. Installation of a fire sprinkler stub with a detector double check valve assembly (DDCVA) for backflow prevention to the building. The DDVCA shall be installed in an outside underground vault per City standard plan no. 360.1 (or 360.2 depending on the size of the system). The DDVCA may be installed inside the building if it meets the conditions as shown on the City’s standard plan 360.5 for the installation of a DDCVA inside a building. 5. Installation of a domestic water meter with a reduced-pressure principle assembly (RPPA) behind the meter. The RPPA shall be installed in an above ground heated enclosure per Renton Standard plan no. 350.2. 6. Meter sizing shall be based on Uniform Plumbing Code meter sizing criteria. Sizing calculations shall be provided to the City. Meters 3” or larger, shall be installed in a concrete vault located outside of the building per COR Standard Plan 320.4. By-pass piping, valves, and associated piping shall be purchased and installed by the developer / contractor under City observation for meters 3” or larger. 7.

The submitted report describes the site is a Low Erosion and Low Landslide VIA 405 Apartments – LUA16-000866 Page 4 of 6 Hazard areas. Erosion control measures will need to be in place prior to starting grading activities on the site. The supplemental addendum to the geotechnical report entitled Infiltration Feasibility – Via 405 Apartments LUA17-000237, PPUD, dated June 12, 2017, discusses the soil and groundwater characteristics of the site including infiltration potential and provides recommendations for project design and construction of on-site BMPs. The report discounts the use of infiltration due to the fill soils, which is underlain by native alluvial deposits consisting of silt or sandy silt, which would be considered a low permeability restrictive layer that would impede infiltration. Geotechnical recommendations presented need to be address within the project plans. 2. A Preliminary Drainage Plan and Technical Information Report (TIR), dated June 22, 2017, was submitted by Triad a division of David Evans and Associates, inc. with the Land Use Application. Based on the City of Renton’s flow control map, the site falls within the Peak Rate Flow Control Standard area matching Existing Site Conditions and is within the Black River Drainage Basin. The development is subject to Full Drainage Review in accordance with the 2017 Renton Surface Water Design Manual (RSWDM). All nine core requirements and the six special requirements have been discussed in the Technical Information Report. 3. As discussed in the TIR, the proposed developed is exempt from Core Requirement #3, Flow Control, since the proposed development will result in less than a 0.15 cfs increase in surface water run-off from the existing site conditions 100-year peak flow rate when modeled using the latest version of the Western Washington Hydrology Model (WWHM 2012), as outlined in Core Requirement #3. 4. A portion of the project site lies within the 100-year FEMA flood boundary. The proposed project improvements will increase the floodplain storage volume from 31,108 cubic feet to 34,688 cubic feet. a. The building finished floor is required to be 1-foot above the FEMA map base flood elevation of 27.6 (NAVD 88). An Elevation Certificate will be required showing the building finished floor is 1-ft above the FEMA base flood elevation prior to granting of certificate of occupancy. 5. The development is required to provide enhanced basic water quality treatment prior to discharge. A modular wetland biofiltration vault is proposed to meet the water quality treatment requirement to satisfy Core Requirement #8. 6. Any proposed water quality vault shall be designed in accordance with the RSWDM that is current at the time of civil construction permit application. 7. All new conveyance systems constructed as part of the project (including relocation of existing storm lines that convey off-site runoff) must be sized to RSWDM standards for the total tributary area (onsite and offsite) that the storm systems serve. 8. Some of the existing on-site storm system that is being relocated may have been designed originally to provide flow control as a detention tank facility as part of the Renton Village Cinema development project. The applicant needs to determine if this is the case and maintain the same level of flow control provided by the existing system for the existing site and/or off-site area. 9. The oil/water separator that is being relocated will need to be designed based upon the 2017 RSWDM. 10. Appropriate on-site BMPs will be required to help mitigate the new runoff created by this development. A preliminary drainage plan, including the application of on-site BMPs, has been included with the land use application. The final drainage plan and drainage report must be submitted with the civil construction permit application. a. Final evaluation of the application of on-site BMPs to the maximum extent feasible will be completed during civil construction permit review. The applicant may be required to VIA 405 Apartments – LUA16-000866 Page 5 of 6 apply additional on-site BMPs in order to meet the minimum requirements outlined in Core Requirement #9. 11. A Construction Stormwater General Permit from Department of Ecology will be required since grading and clearing of the site exceeds one acre. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required for this site. 12. Surface water system development fee is $0.641 per square foot of new impervious surface, but not less than $1,608. This is payable prior to issuance of the construction permit. TRANSPORTATION 1. The proposed development does not front any existing City public roads or rights-of-way. Site access is obtained via a network of internal private easements. 2. Additional easements may need to be obtained to provide emergency access to the development. 3. ADA access ramps shall be installed at all pedestrian crossings. Ramps shall be shown at each intersection. Ramps shall be oriented to provide direct pedestrian crossings. 4. Parking lot construction shall be in accordance with City code 4-4-80G. 5. Lighting plans are required to be submitted with the land use application and will be reviewed during the construction utility permit review. 6. A traffic analysis dated April 18, 2017, was provided by Transportation Engineering Northwest (TENW). The site generated traffic volumes were calculated using data from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition, (2009). Based on the calculations provided and providing credit for the existing trips utilized for the current site use, the proposed development would generate a decrease of approximately 340 net new average weekday daily trips. During the weekday AM peak hour, the project would generate an increase of approximately 64 net new trips (5 inbound and 59 outbound). During the weekday PM peak hour, the project would generate a decrease of approximately 102 net new trips (a decrease of 43 inbound and a decrease of 59 outbound). As detailed in the report the proposed project is not expected to lower the levels of service of the surrounding intersections included in the traffic study. Increased traffic created by the development will be mitigated by payment of transportation impact fees. 7. Paving and trench restoration shall comply with the City’s Trench Restoration and Overlay Requirements. 8. Payment of the transportation impact fee is applicable on the construction of the development at the time of application for the building permit. The 2017 rate of transportation impact fee for an apartment is $3,358.55 per room. The 2017 rate of transportation impact fee for a shopping center is $13.29 per square foot of building. The 2017 rate of transportation impact fee for a sit- down restaurant is $30.48 per square foot of building. The transportation impact fee that is current at the time of building permit application will be levied, payable at building permit issue. GENERAL COMMENTS 1. All existing and proposed utility lines (i.e. electrical, phone, and cable services, etc.) along property frontage or within the site must be underground. The construction of these franchise utilities must be inspected and approved by a City of Renton inspector. 2. Maximum exposed retaining wall height is 6-ft and shall be setback a minimum of 3-ft from the right-of-way as outlined in RMC 4-4-040 – Fences, Hedges and Retaining Walls. VIA 405 Apartments – LUA16-000866 Page 6 of 6 3. Adequate separation between utilities as well as other features shall be provided in accordance with code requirements. a. 7-ft minimum horizontal and 1-ft vertical separation between storm and other utilities is required with the exception of water lines which require 10-ft horizontal and 1.5-ft vertical. b. The stormwater line should be minimum 5 feet away from any other structure or wall or building. c. Trench of any utility should not be in the zone of influence of the retaining wall or of the building. 4.

Please visit www.rentonwa.gov for the current development fee schedule. 7. * An additional 3% technology fee will be added to each fee marked with an asterisk (*). From: Karen Walter <KWalter@muckleshoot.nsn.us> Sent: Sunday, August 06, 2017 4:48 PM To: Matthew Herrera Subject: RE: City of Renton Notice of Application LUA - VIA 405 Apartments- LUA17-000237 ECF, PPUD, HEX Matthew, This email is a follow-up to our July 2017 phone conversation regarding the VIA 405 Apartments project and the stream classification of Rolling Hills Creek. As I noted in the call, Rolling Hills Creek is considered a Type F stream by WSDOT, WDFW, and the Tribe. The culvert 995470 conveying this stream is on the State's Fish Passage Barrier list and to be on this list means that there is at least 200 meters of available fish habitat upstream. Please see WSDOT's fish passage barrier map http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/data/tools/geoportal/?config=fish-passage- barriers&layers=%7B%22layer0%22%3A%5B%5D%2C%22Uncorrected+Barriers+Statewide%22%3A%5B0 %5D%2C%22Corrected+Barriers+Statewide%22%3A%5B0%5D%7D&center=- 122.19989776607876%2C47.47051349086841&zoom=14 The data used to make the fish barrier determination and available habitat upstream is done by WDFW in a cooperative effort with WSDOT. In fact, Mike Barber, the person noted on the link above used to work for WDFW and was in charge of their fish barrier assessment program. Arguably any data available via this source was completed by WDFW and should be considered as a WDFW stream study. Please note that Salmonscape is but one source regarding fish passage barriers and fish distribution. It is not the only source and should never be considered the sole source of fisheries data. As noted it does not currently show Rolling Hills on it even though this stream has been mapped by Renton and WSDOT for some time. WSDOT provided detailed information about the stream as part of its Ecosystems Report for the I-405 Tukwila to Renton project; however, obviously this information was not provided to the WDFW staff involved in Salmonscape. Please note, too, that when the City did its stream study, it did not consult with us. We received the Study several years after its completion and have questioned the water typing for some streams in the area (i.e. Maplewood Creek tributaries) and noted that this study did not adequately consider fish passage barriers and how they may affect salmon distribution and observations. If you need further information regarding the classification of Rolling Hills Creek, I suggest you call Mike Barber at WSDOT (formerly with WDFW) and discuss the data with him. Also as we discussed on the phone, we recommend that the applicant maximize the native tree and shrub plantings along Rolling Hills Creek including areas that are along the south side of the stream outside of WSDOT's right of way on I-405 to improve stream conditions prior to WSDOT's replacements of the I-405 culverts to become fish passable.
