PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Planning: Primary Use Surface accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Parking Lots Development public hearing to consider the six-month moratorium on the development of Moratorium surface parking lots as a primary use, which was declared on December 15, 2003. Rebecca Lind, Planner Manager, stated that the moratorium applies only to parking lots as a primary use (lots used as a business or primary activity), and not to parking lots as an accessory use (lots attached to a business or residence). She reported that staff is currently updating Renton's Comprehensive Plan, and one of the key issues identified for revision is parking, particularly in the Rainier Corridor and Urban Center. Ms. Lind explained that a comprehensive policy framework is needed for primary use parking so that the use is consistent in and between the Comprehensive Plan, Council's Business Plan, and the Renton Municipal Code. Continuing, Ms. Lind reviewed how parking is addressed in the Comprehensive Plan and in City Code, and the zones in which primary use parking is allowed. In regards to land use planning and growth, she indicated that Renton's policies direct the largest proportion of growth to the City's Urban Center, and land supply in the Valley, Urban Center, and Rainier Corridor areas are expected to sustain employment growth. Ms. Lind noted that Renton recently built a municipal parking garage to support uses in the Urban Center, including the transit center. Stating that the City must position its Urban Center and Employment Areas to capitalize on the next economic growth cycle, Ms. Lind pointed out that development of surface parking lots could undermine the City's potential for economic growth and the City's vision. She indicated that a work program has been initiated to address where park and ride lots should be located to support the Urban Center, and where commercial and municipal parking lots should be allowed. In conclusion, Ms. Lind stated that new surface parking lots in key locations could have a significant negative impact on the City's goals and visions, and time is needed to complete the analysis. January 12, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 14 Public comment was invited. A letter was read from Harold S. Taniguchi, King County Department of Transportation Director, 201 S. Jackson St., Seattle, 98104, expressing concern about the moratorium, noting that it appears to be aimed at restricting development of park and ride lot capacity in the Rainier Ave. S. corridor. Mr. Taniguchi stated that it is within the best interest of both Renton and King County to find a permanent solution to the lack of park and ride capacity in this area. Meanwhile, King County is continuing to work with City'staff to arrange a lease of some space in the City's municipal parking garage. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Annexation: Stoneridge, 148th This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Ave SE & NE 16th St accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the public hearing to consider the 50% Petition to Annex for the proposed 28-acre Stoneridge Annexation located between Jericho Ave. SE, if extended, on the west, 148th Ave. SE on the east, NE 19th St., if extended, on the north, and NE 16th St., if extended on the south. Senior Planner Don Erickson reported that King County has certified that the signatures on the 50% petition represent a majority of the site's acreage and a majority of the registered voters residing there. Mr. Erickson reviewed the existing conditions of the site, noting the presence of Greenes Creek that traverses the center of the site. The site is serviced by Fire District #10, Water District #90, Renton sewer, and the Issaquah School District. Mr. Erickson explained that the area is designated as Residential Low Density in Renton's Comprehensive Plan and is prezoned R-5 (Residential - 5 dwelling units per net acre). The fiscal impact analysis reveals that if the site is annexed, the City will realize a surplus of $4,542 at current development, and $53,441 at full development assuming an increase to 119 single-family homes and a new home value of $300,000. Mr. Erickson summarized that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with City annexation policies and the criteria of the Boundary Review Board. He noted that development may result in potential flooding without mitigation measures, and except for parks and surface water, no major service issues were identified. Public comment was invited. Richard Wolf, 14702 SE 105th St., Renton, 98059, referred to a letter he sent in which he asked that his seven -acre parcel, located at 10515 148th Ave. SE, be withdrawn from the annexation area. He expressed concern that the extension of a sewer line across his property would greatly disturb the existing trees and vegetation. Additionally, he noted that he has no plans to develop or sell the property in the near future, and hopes to annex the subject parcel along with two other adjacent parcels at some future date. Mr. Erickson commented on the timeliness of Mr. Wolfs request for withdrawal, noting that State law allows any signer of a filed petition to withdraw his or her signature prior to the certification of the petition. Therefore, since the petition was certified on October 7, 2003, Mr. Wolfs request to withdraw his signature on January 7, 2004, has no bearing on King County's certification of sufficiency. January 12, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 15 Mr. Erickson reviewed the fiscal impact if the Wolf property were to be excluded from the annexation area, and pointed out that Council, at the time it accepts the proposed annexation, can decide not to include the subject property per State law. City Attorney Larry Warren confirmed that unless the City or a special sewer district requires an easement, Mr. Wolf does not have to grant a sewer easement across his property to a potential developer. Curtis Schuster, KBS Development Corporation, 12320 NE 8th St., Suite #100, Bellevue, 98005, stated that he has been working on this development for seven years, and noted that the Wolf property is not necessary in order to go forward with the project. Expressing concern that the process would slow if there were a grievance between the City and the landowner, he urged Council to approve submittal of the notice of intent to annex to the Boundary Review Board. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL ACCEPT THE 50% DIRECT PETITION TO ANNEX FOR THE STONERIDGE ANNEXATION AND AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATION TO SUBMIT A NOTICE OF INTENT TO ANNEX PACKAGE TO THE WASHINGTON STATE BOUNDARY REVIEW BOARD FOR KING COUNTY. CARRIED. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2004 and beyond.

PUBLIC HEARING HANDOUT January 12, 2004, 7:30 PM City Council Chambers APPLICATION NAME: Moratorium on Development of Surface Parking Lots as Primary Uses. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City of Renton has expended substantial time and energy on its Comprehensive Land Use Plan and associated policies, as well as substantial funds in the construction of a municipal parking garage in its downtown core area. Construction of surface parking lots not associated with the construction of a new building leads to unsightly, unplanned, and misplaced surface parking lots, also removes land from the stock for development or redevelopment, thereby negating the City's economic development efforts. Additionally, development of surface parking lots in certain areas may result in potentially significant traffic impacts on regional roads at a time when the electorate has significantly reduced the amount of available money for transportation improvements. The City of Renton wishes to encourage the use of parking structures rather than surface parking lots to allow the City to better function as an urban center. The moratorium is needed to give the City time to review policies and criteria needed to ensure that commercial surface parking lots, transit facilities, and park and ride lots are sited in a way that implements the Land Use Element Urban Center policies, transit policies within the adopted Transportation Element, and the City Council Business Plan goals. City of Renton City Council Moratorium on Primary Use Surface Parking Lot Development Public Hearing January 12, 2004 Background Summary • Growth Management Act mandates review of Comprehensive Plans • Plans must be consistent with City policies • Plans must reflect updated demographics (2000 census data became available in 2002) • An amended Comprehensive Plan must be adopted by the City Council by December 2004 Study of Parking • Parking in the Urban Center and Rainier Corridor were identified as key issues • Important for existing businesses and for redevelopment due to — Transportation network — Land Use • Substantial amount of acreage committed to surface parking lots in suburban urban development Issue: • Renton has enacted a six-month moratorium on development of surface parking lots as primary uses. • Should this moratorium be continued to allow sufficient time to develop a policy framework and regulations addressing this use?

The moratorium appears to be aimed at restricting development of permanent park -and - ride lot capacity at a time when such capacity will be stretched to the limits with the closure of a commuter parking lot formerly known as the K-Mart lot on Rainier Avenue South. Approximately 250 commuters are using this lot on a daily basis. McClendon Hardware has graciously entered into an agreement with King County Metro Transit to allow continued use of this lot until June 30, 2004. We believe it is in the best interest of both the City of Renton and King County to find a permanent solution to the lack of park -and -ride capacity in the Rainier Avenue South corridor. As you are aware, Metro staff were in the process of exploring options to meet this park -and - ride demand, including the feasibility of purchasing and improving a vacant parking lot within the immediate vicinity, when advised by your staff that they needed to cancel a preapplication meeting due to the moratorium. Information provided to the Renton City Council during their discussion of the proposed moratorium describes King County as seeking a permit for this work and eminent purchase of property. Please be aware that this preapplication meeting was an initial step in this feasibility study and was scheduled at the suggestion of City of Renton staff. 1 want to clarify that the information from the feasibility study was to be used to determine whether to seek permits from the City of Renton. We are continuing to work with City of Renton staff to arrange a lease of some space in the City's new municipal garage. Prior to making such a commitment, we would need a lease that extends at least 15 years and a commitment from the City of Renton to support King County in acquiring property that we believe will be cost effective in serving public transportation park - and -ride demand. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to working with you to solve this and other regional transportation issues. &V-44-� Si er ly, �e Harold S.

City Council authorized the circulation of this petition at its August 4th, 2003 public meeting when it accepted the applicant's 10% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation Petition. King County's Department of Assessments has certified signatures representing a majority of the area's acreage and the King County Records, Elections and Licensing Services Division has certified that a majority of the area's registered voters have also signed the Direct Petition to Annex. The subject site is within the City's Potential Annexation Area and is designated Residential Low Density on the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (see map on back). Although the site currently has County R-4 zoning, the City prezoned it in 1997 to R-5, 5 units per net acre. This zoning will be applied at the time the annexation site comes into the City. With this zoning the 28-acre site could accommodate approximately 104 additional single-family dwelling units. The annexation site appears to have reasonable boundaries. The annexation site abuts the City on its western boundary and the County Urban Growth Area boundary along its eastern boundary. The site has slopes of 15% to 25% on it and an existing stream that traverses it diagonally. Under the recently adopted new rules amending 35.21.005 RCW and 35A.01.040 RCW and adding new sections to chapter 35A.14 RCW, Council is required to hold tonight's public hearing to take testimony in support or opposition to the proposed annexation and to decide whether the City will now accept the annexation area as proposed, or only a portion of it. If the Council decides to accept the 50% Petition to Annex it shall authorize the Administration to send the Notice of Intent package to the Washington State Boundary Review Board for King County, beginning that agency's 45-day review period.

Wolf to remove his signature from the Direct Petition to Annex invalidate the annexation or require reconfiguration of the annexation boundary? Background: The initial 10% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation petition was submitted on July 15, 2003. Pursuant to RCW 35A.14.120 the first public meeting was held on September 8, 2003. At that time Council accepted the 10% Notice of Intent petition and authorized circulation of the 50% Direct Petition to Annex. The City Clerk received the signed 50% Direct Petition to Annex on September 29, 2003 and staff forwarded the signatures to King County for certification of sufficiency on October 3, 2003. The King County Department of Assessments certified the petition as having sufficient signatures to represent a majority of the proposed annexation area's acreage on October 7, 2003. The King County Department of Executive Services, Election Section certified the petition as having sufficient signatures representing a majority of the registered voters in the annexation area on October 16, 2003. Analysis: • RCW 35A.01.040 (4) provides that any signer of a filed petition may withdraw his signature by submitting a written request prior to the receiving officer determining the sufficiency of the petition. In the case of the new 50% direct petition method, there are two officers making this determination, one is the representative of the King H:\EDNSP\Council\Issue Papers -Agenda Bills-Ctte Reports\2004\Wolf Signature Removal.doc Stoneridge Annexation, Wolf Letter of Withdrawal 2 01/12/04 County Department of Assessments and the other the representative of the King County Records, Elections and Licensing Services Division. In that the withdrawal request by Richard Wolf was made on January 7, 2003, three months after the October 7`" date that signatures representing acreage had been ruled sufficient, it does not effect the County's certification for the full 28-acre annexation. Mr. Wolf signed the Direct Petition to Annex September of last year as a property owner, not as a registered voter. The withdrawal of his signature has no bearing on the County's certification of sufficiency for acreage since there are signatures representing a majority (14 acres) of the annexation area. In terms of fiscal impact the exclusion of the 7.13-acre Wolf property from the Stoneridge Annexation would reduce fiscal impact to the City from an estimated initial surplus of $53,411 at full development to $29,196. This would result in an estimated loss of some $24,000 per year to the City. Conclusion: The Stoneridge Annexation is valid in terms of signatures representing both a majority of the area's acreage and its registered voters, without Mr. Wolf's signature. In addition, Mr. Wolf's withdrawal is untimely, coming some three months after the terminal date for withdrawing. RCW 35A.14.140 provides that an ordinance for annexation may "annex all or any portion of the proposed area but may not include in the annexation any property not described in the petition."(emphasis added) Thus, Council, at the time it accepts the proposed annexation, could decide not to include the Wolf property along the northern portion of the 28-acre annexation site or include it since few annexations have 100% support.

COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT • Over 660 boys and girls hit the courts last weekend with the start of the Youth Basketball program for grades three through nine. A total of 32 games were played last Friday and Saturday. • Adult Athletics kicks off their winter season this week with Men's Basketball and Co-ed Volleyball leagues.

PLANNINGBUILDING/PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Last week was very busy for the maintenance crews dealing with three different emergencies: 1) the water main break near the Windsor Hills Pump Station and two smaller main breaks, 2) the snow storm which required snow and ice removal on city streets, and 3) power outages and fallen trees related to the snow storm. We used 425 tons of sand on our city streets (as well as providing sand to the City of Newcastle), with the sand truck operators working 16-hour shifts at the height of the storm. We suffered power outages and downed tree limbs in many parts of the city. At one point, seven sewer lift stations and two water pump stations were out of power, as well as the maintenance shops office. However, temporary generators were used to keep our utility systems in operation and our water and sewer service maintained to all customers. Power was not restored to our last two lift stations (Stonegate and the Apollo Lift Station along South 148th Street) until Thursday evening, January 8t'. At this time, the major problems are behind us and we are performing clean-up operations. Our sweepers are out cleaning up the sand, we continue to remove fallen tree limbs, and our crews are finalizing repairs to the damage caused by the Windsor Hills Pump Station water main break. Administrative Report January 12, 2004 Page 2 • Puget Sound Energy representative Susan Hempstead reported that power was restored to all City of Renton businesses and residences by last Friday afternoon. She advised that PSE crews are standing by to take care of any outages that may have been missed in the process.

CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC PLANNING MEMORANDUM DATE: January 5, 2004 TO: Don Persson, President Members of the Renton City Council VIA: �i;� Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator (x 6592) SUBJECT: Renton Visitors Connection Funding Issue: • The Renton Lodging Tax Advisory Committee has recommended to the Renton City Council allocation of Hotel/Motel Tax revenues for use by Renton Visitors Connection, the group formerly known as the Renton Lodging Association, for tourism promotion. Recommendations: • Recognize the successes of Renton Visitors Connection's tourism promotional efforts and fund the program's fifth full year of operation by allocating $100,000 in Hotel/Motel Tax collections to that end. Background: In 1999, the Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce received Hotel/Motel Tax revenues for promotion of tourism -related activities in Renton. The Renton Lodging Association was born out of this effort.. As a committee of the Chamber of Commerce, its membership is made up of 10 Renton hotels. By partnering together and pooling resources through this promotional effort, the Association has been able to enjoy additional successes. The Renton Lodging Association has put together successful promotional events by targeting IKEA shoppers who come to Renton from the Portland - area, encouraging Eastern Washington residents coming over for Seattle Mariner and Seahawk games and corporate representatives that book hotel rooms for their clients and employees. In 2003, the group changed its name to Renton Visitors Connection and has embraced other groups that benefit from tourism -related activities. A complete summary of the 2004 Renton Visitors Connection tourism promotion campaign is attached. The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee met January 5, 2004 and recommends that the City Council authorize the allocation of $100,000 of lodging tax revenue to the Renton Lodging Association for its 2004 tourism marketing efforts.

CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC PLANNING MEMORANDUM DATE: January 5, 2004 TO: Don Persson, President Members of the Renton City Council VIA: �J Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor t FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator (x 6592) ma SUBJECT: Renton Community Marketing Campaign Issue: • The Renton Lodging Tax Advisory Committee has recommended that the Renton City Council allocate funds for activities proposed by the Renton Community Marketing Campaign. Recommendations: • Authorize the Mayor to sign contracts with Hamilton/Saunderson, marketing consultants, for a sixth year of the Renton Community Marketing Campaign. • Partner with other key community stakeholders for a sixth year of the Renton Community Marketing Campaign by allocating $50,000 of Hotel/Motel Tax collections to its use. This allocation will be leveraged with additional financial contributions from the Department of Economic Development, Neighborhoods & Strategic Planning's "business recruitment" budget and other community agencies, organizations and businesses. Background: In 1998, the Renton City Council authorized the City's participation in the Renton Community Marketing Campaign in conjunction with other key community stakeholders. The goal was to leverage marketing dollars in the community, by collectively promoting Renton as an outstanding place to work, live, learn, shop, visit and have fun. Stakeholders, in addition to the City, include: the Renton School District, Renton Technical College, Valley Medical Center, the Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce and the Renton hotel industry. The Renton Community Marketing Campaign goals tie directly to the City's Business Plan objectives and focus on promoting a consistent identity that builds on the appeal of Renton's residential, educational and business opportunities. The first three years of the campaign have been a tremendous success in both the Renton community and the Greater Puget Sound Region. Our branding slogan: "Renton. Ahead of the Curve," and using "We Chose Renton" testimonials to convey our message have been effective. In its fourth year, the Campaign will carry on this theme with advertisements speaking to why Renton is "The Right Choice" for business, education, healthcare, tourism, etc. The bottom line: people are choosing Renton as a great location to open or relocate a business, buy a house and educate young children. January 5, 2004 Page 2 Stakeholders have overwhelmingly agreed that this kind of comprehensive community effort has been very successful. They have all committed to participate in a continuation of the Renton Community Marketing Campaign. The Campaign's proposed activities are described in the attached 2004 Renton Community Marketing Campaign Action Plan. The Hotel/Motel Tax Advisory Committee met January 5, 2004 and recommends that the City Council authorize the allocation of $50,000 of lodging tax revenue to the Community Marketing Campaign for Year Six of its community marketing efforts.

The subject property is located within Area B of the Centers Residential Demonstration District with an underlying zoning designation of Center Suburban (CS). The site, which is relatively flat in topography, is bounded by Union Avenue NE on the east and NE 3`d Court on the south. The project would construct ten 2-story townhouse structures - each containing two units. Each individual unit would be situated within an individual parcel to be created by the binding site plan/subdivision. The units would range between 1,388 square feet and 1,508 square feet in size and would contain either single or double car attached garages. The development includes the installation of landscape, utility and street improvements for the project. Site preparation activities would require the removal of approximately 18 trees with all grading materials to be balanced on site. In addition, the project requires Environmental (SEPA) Review, which has been addressed under a separate report and decision. Project construction is anticipated to be completed within an estimated timeframe of 9 to 12 months once approved permits have been issued. PART TWO: ADMINISTRATIVE LAND USE ACTION - REPORT & DECISION This decision on the administrative land use action is made concurrently with the environmental determination. A.

Consistency with Site Plan Criteria In reviewing the proposal with respect to the Site Plan Approval Criteria set forth in Section 4-9-200 of the Site Plan Ordinance, the following issues have been identified by City Departmental Reviewers and Divisional Reviewers: Conformance with the comprehensive plan, its elements and policies; The subject site is designated Center Suburban (CS) on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The proposal is generally consistent with the following residential related policies: Policy LU-11. Future residential growth should be accommodated through... development of vacant parcels in Renton's established neighborhoods. The residential project is proposed on a currently vacant and underutilized piece of property located in the Highlands neighborhood. Policy LU-98. Allow stand alone residential development of various types and urban densities in portions of Centers not conducive to commercial development. The proposal includes only residential development as commercial or service oriented component would not be viable on the site since it is approximately 470 feet south of the NE 4th Street corridor. sitebsp C,1t�r of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Site I & Binding Site Plan Staff Report 3R6-& UNION TOWNHOMES LUA-02-072, ECF, SA -A, BSP REPORT AND DECISION OF AUGUST 27, 2002 Page 3 of 11 2. Conformance with existing land use regulations; The site is located within the Center Suburban (CS) zone and is included within District B of the Centers Residential Demonstration District. Townhouse development with up to four consecutively attached units is permitted within the CS zone and Residential Demonstration District subject to adopted density limitations and compliance with development standards established by the district. The proposed development would allow for the future construction of up to 20 new townhouse dwelling units as well as associated plat improvements. The proposal's compliance with the Centers Residential Demonstration District and the applicable development standards of the CS zone is discussed below. Site Layout — The proposal must demonstrate the satisfaction of the CS zone standards for yards, land areas, and setbacks, as well as provide access and infrastructure as required by the subdivision regulations. The project's compliance with these requirements will be discussed throughout the body of this report. Minimum Land Area per Dwelling Unit — A minimum of 1,200 square feet must be provided for each unit, of which a minimum of 250 square feet must be developed as landscaped yard abutting each unit. The proposal would place each townhouse unit within its own lot. The smallest lot size included in the plat would be 1,895 square feet in area, which complies with this requirement. The minimum yard area provided (256 square feet for a 1,895 square foot lot) would also comply with this requirement. Lot Dimensions — There are no minimum requirements for lot width or depth within the CS zone or the Residential Centers District. Lot Coverage — The maximum area permitted for building lot coverage is 65% of the lot area. The proposal would comply with the requirement as the greatest lot coverage by buildings proposed is 56% (1,103 square foot building on a 1,966 square foot lot). Setbacks — The CS zone requires a minimum front yard setback of 10 feet and a maximum front yard setback of 15 feet. A rear yard setback is not required unless the property abuts a residentially zoned property, in which case a minimum setback of 15 feet is required. An interior side yard setback of 3 feet, with no projections permitted, is required for development in District B. The proposed site plan complies with these setback requirements throughout the site, as well as specifically along the property's NE 3rd Court and Union Avenue NE street frontages. Density — The allowed density range in the CS zone is a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 20 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). For proposals located within the Centers Residential Demonstration District B, a density bonus of up to 36 du/ac is permitted when architectural innovation has been demonstrated. Net density is calculated after critical areas and public rights -of -way are deducted from the gross acreage of the site. After the deduction of the roadway (10,165 square feet) from the 55,795 gross square foot site (55,795 gross square feet — 10,165 total deducted area = 45,630 net square feet / 1.05 net acres), the proposal would arrive at a net density of 19.0 dwelling units per acre (20 units / 1.05 acres = 19.0 du/ac), which is within the allowed density range of the CS zone and does not require a density bonus. Building Limitations — The building design standards of District B of the Centers Residential Overlay require variation or modulation of vertical and horizontal facades at a minimum width of 2 feet at intervals of 40 feet for each building face. Although buildings C, F and H appear to comply with this modulation requirement, buildings A, B, K and J provide an off -set of only 1-foot on their interior facades. Similarly, buildings D, E and G do not provide the required modulation along the north facades of those structures. In order to propose structures which do not comply with the variation or modulation standards, approval of a modification pursuant to RMC section 4-9-250.D.3 must be obtained. The administrative approval of the modification has been granted as presented under separate report and decision. In addition, private residential entry features, which are designed to provide individual ground floor connection to the outside, are required. Building length is also limited to a maximum of 100 feet with no more than 4 residential units per building. As required, all unit entries appear to include entry features which provide ground floor connections to the outside. Secondly, all of the structures are proposed to contain only 2 units and none would exceed a length of approximately 60 feet. Buildings are also required to be located such that the relationship of the dwelling, parking and street shall create the appearance of a single family neighborhood. The front facades of the structures are required to address the public street, private street or court yard by providing landscaped pedestrian connections and entry features facing the front yard. The project enerally complies with these requirements by providing walkway and entry features facing front yards — NE 319 Court for buildings B, C, F, H and J, the private street (3rd Lane) sitebsp City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Site I & Binding Site Plan Staff Report 3R & UNION TOWNHOMES LUA-02-072, ECF, SA -A, BSP REPORT AND DECISION OF AUGUST 27, 2002 Page 4 of 11 for buildings D, E and G, and interior court yards for buildings J and K. However, 3 of the 4 units within buildings A and B, which abut Union Avenue NE present the entrance and pedestrian connection to the units on court yard facing facades. Therefore, approval of an administrative modification for this requirement is also necessary. The administrative approval of the modification has not been granted. As presented under separate report and decision, the applicant will be required to revise the proposal to comply with the modulation requirements. Landscaping_— The project would provide landscape improvements along the NE 3`d Court street frontage and between structures. The project includes the use of trees, large, medium and low shrubs, and ground covers throughout the perimeter and interior of the site. The development standards of the CS zone require a minimum 15-foot sight -obscuring landscape strip along street frontages when adjacent to property zoned residential. In this case, the property located on the south side of NE 3`d Court is designated with the Residential —10 (R-10) dwelling units per acre zone. However, the regulations allow for the reviewing official to modify this requirement through the site plan review process where the applicant has demonstrated that the intent of the provision would be satisfied through unique aspects or use of the site. The building limitations imposed on the project by the Centers Residential District require that the primary entrances to the building face public streets where available. In this situation, the applicant has appropriately designed the 3`d Court facing elevations to comply with entry feature and modulation requirements. Not only will the residential use of the commercially zoned site serve to mitigate potential visual impacts to adjacent residentially zone properties as intended by the provision, the design of the residential buildings will also lessen impacts adjacent residential uses. Pedestrian Access — The CS zone requires a pedestrian connection from the street to the entrances of the buildings. The project would provide direct connections from the public right-of-way (NE 3`d Court) to buildings B, C, F, H and J. Connections to the remaining buildings would be provided from sidewalks installed with the private street throughout the interior of the site. Parking — The City's Parking Regulations require a minimum of 1.75 spaces (standard) or 2.25 spaces (tandem) per multi -family unit. Of the 20 proposed townhouse units, 11 would include standard double -car garages and 9 would include tandem single or double car garages. Based on the applicable ratios, a total of 40 parking spaces would be required for the overall project (11 standard units x 1.75 = 19.25 spaces + 9 tandem units x 2.25 = 20.25 spaces = 39.5 or 40 total spaces). The project would include 34 attached garage spaces, 12 driveway apron spaces, 6 attached carport spaces, and 4 guest spaces for a total of 56 parking spaces on - site. In order to exceed the maximum amount of parking spaces permitted by code, a parking modification is necessary. With the approval of this site plan, a parking modification pursuant to RMC section 4-4-080.F.10 will be granted. In addition, the Residential Demonstration District requires parking to be provided within an enclosed structure that faces a different fagade than the main entry of the building. As proposed, each unit would include parking spaces within a ground floor attached garage. However, the garage entrances for buildings D, E and G would be located on the front yard, or the same yard as the entrance to the building. Therefore, approval of an administrative modification for this requirement is also necessary. The administrative approval of the modification has been granted as presented under separate report and decision. 3. Mitigation of impacts to surrounding properties and uses; The proposed development of the site is not anticipated to significantly impact adjacent properties and uses. Potential short-term noise and traffic impacts would result from the initial construction of the project to adjacent properties. The applicant would be required to comply with existing code provisions that establish the allowed hours of construction activities for projects within 300 feet of residential uses to weekdays between the hours of 7:00 am and 8:00 pm. Construction activities are not permitted prior to 9:00 am on Saturdays and no work is permitted on Sundays. 4. Mitigation of impacts of the proposed site plan to the site; The proposal is not expected to adversely impact the site. There are no significant natural or sensitive features on the property that would be impacted by the proposal. Construction activities related to the initial development of the project would be required to utilize best management practices through code requirements for an approved Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (TESCP). sitebsp City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Site ! & Binding Site Plan Staff Report 3R & UNION TOWNHOMES LUA-02-072, ECF, SA -A, BSP REPORT AND DECISION OF AUGUST 27, 2002 Page 5 of 11 5. Conservation of area -wide property values; The proposed commercial development would allow for the optimum use of a currently vacant and underutilized property. The development of the site is anticipated to enhance the adjacent residential area. Therefore, the project is anticipated to conserve, if not improve, property values in the area. 6. Safety and efficiency of vehicle and pedestrian circulation; The proposed development includes pedestrian linkages to building entrances, as well as sufficient driveway entrances and interior vehicle circulation and parking. The Fire Department has requested that the private street be posted with "No Parking" signage, as well as with address identification signs at the entrance to the private street, in order to ensure the provision of adequate emergency services. Staff recommends the satisfaction of these requirements as conditions of approval. 7. Provision of adequate light and air; The proposed site plan would allow for adequate light and air circulation to the buildings and the site. 8. Mitigation of noise, odors and other harmful or unhealthy conditions; The proposal is not anticipated to create any harmful or unhealthy conditions. Noise and odor impacts in the vicinity would not have a significant increase due to the proposed development. The applicant's Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (TESCP) and Construction Mitigation Plan would mitigate noise, dust and odors, which may result from the temporary construction of the project. 9. Availability of public services and facilities to accommodate the proposed use; and Existing public services and facilities will adequately serve the subject site with the applicant's completion of all required connections and improvements. 10. Prevention of neighborhood deterioration and blight. No deterioration or blight is expected to occur as a result of the proposal. D. Consistency with Binding Site Plan Regulations Approval of a binding site plan is based upon several factors as established by RMC section 4-7-230 of the Subdivision Regulations contained within Title IV, Development Regulations. The following binding site plan criteria have been established to assist decision -makers in the review of the subdivision: 1. Conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, its Elements and Policies As previously discussed under the Site Plan criteria, the proposal is generally consistent with the site's Center Suburban (CS) designation on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. 2. Conformance with Underlying Zoning Designation The proposal's compliance with District B of the Centers Residential Demonstration District and the applicable development standards of the CS zone has been discussed in detail under the Site Plan criteria in the preceding portion of this report. 3. Compliance with Binding Site Plan Design Standards Legal Lots: Lots, parcels, or tracts created through the binding site plan procedure shall be legal lots of record. The number of lots, tracts, parcels, sites, or divisions shall not exceed the number of lots allowed in the applicable zoning district. The CS zone requires a density range of 10 to 20 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). Although there are no lot dimension standards required by the CS zone, a minimum land area of 1,200 square feet per unit must be provided. The proposed binding site plan would create 20 lots and 1 tract within the 1.28-acre site. After the deduction of the private roadway area (tract 1), the proposal would arrive at a net density of 19 du/ac. In addition, the lot sizes for individual units range from 1,895 square feet to 2,979 square feet in area. Access: All lots shall provide access to a public street or to a public street by means of an access easement or other recorded instrument approved by the City. New public roads shall be provided for lot access where determined to be appropriate and necessary. sitebsp % of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Site f & Binding Site Plan Staff Report 3R & UNION TOWNHOMES LUA-02-072, ECF, SA -A, BSP REPORT AND DECISION OF AUGUST 27, 2002 Page 6 of 11 The project is required to install full street improvements, including curb, gutter, sidewalk, paving and street lighting, if not already in place, along Union Avenue NE and NE 3`d Court. The proposal would provide access to each of the units' attached garage through the interior of the site via a private roadway that appears to be located within a 20-foot wide tract and includes 20 feet of pavement width. The private street would have two access points off of NE 3'd Court with a separation of approximately 240 feet. A turnaround is also included at the north end of each entry point where 2 guest parking spaces would also be provided. The project also includes 4-foot wide concrete sidewalks on each side of the private street. Based on the binding site plan submitted, the boundaries of the proposed lots would include the sidewalk areas, but not the private roadway. The City's Street Standards require private streets to be constructed within a minimum easement (or tract) width of 26 feet with a minimum 20 feet of pavement width. Therefore, the proposal must be revised in order to comply with the minimum easement or tract standard for a private street. One available option is for the plan to be revised to increase the tract width to 26 feet and appropriately adjust the lot lines and building designs in order to comply with setback, lot coverage and lot area requirements. However, in order to ensure that the applicable development standards are fully satisfied, staff will recommend as a condition of approval that the applicant extend the proposed property lines such that the roadway improvements (i.e., asphalt and sidewalks) are located within a minimum 26-foot wide easement. This revision would have no bearing on the location or design of the structures or the proposed roadway alignment. Staff further recommends that the applicant be required to establish a homeowner's association or maintenance agreement between all of the individual lots for maintenance of the private roadway and other common improvements. In addition, private streets are permitted to serve a maximum of 6 lots with no more than 4 lots not abutting a public right-of-way. Since the site is bounded by both Union Avenue NE (on the east) and NE 3'd Court (on the south), 11 of the proposed 20 lots are directly abutting a public right-of-way while the remaining 9 lots (no. 5 through 13) do not abut a public right-of-way. Based on the private street limitations, 8 interior lots may be served by the proposed private street (i.e., 4 interior lots for each entrance). Therefore, the project includes 1 lot in excess of the maximum number permitted to be served by a private street. In order to exceed this limitation, the regulations allow for an administrative street modification to be granted in the event practical difficulties arise when attempting to comply with the provisions of the code. Provided the street is properly signed for no parking as recommended earlier, the proposed private street satisfies all emergency access requirements. Furthermore, emergency turnarounds are provided at each end of the roadway and access is provided to the central portion of the site by two separate entrances leaving acceptable distances to each structure from the public right-of-way. The pavement width provided in combination with sidewalks on each side, more than satisfy the intent of the private street provisions. Therefore, based on the modification criteria established under RMC section 4-9-250.13, approval of the street modification appears to be suitable for the proposed project. As part of the administrative decision issued with this report, a street modification will be granted. Dedication Statement. Where lands are required or proposed for dedication, the applicant shall provide a dedication statement and acknowledgement on the binding site plan. The applicant will be required to dedicate the appropriate amount of property at the southeast corner of the site in order to achieve the required 15-foot corner radius at the NE 3` Court and Union Avenue NE public intersection. The dedication of the required right-of-way should occur prior to the recording of the binding site plan and is recommended as a condition of approval. Adequate Provision of Utilities: Each parcel created by the binding site plan shall have access to water supply, sanitary sewer, and utilities by means of direct access, access easement, or supporting document approved by the City. The applicant has submitted a Technical Information Report prepared by Daley-Morrow-Poblete Inc., dated May 21, 2002 with the land use application. The report indicates that the site is not located within the 100-year flood plain and does not contain any sensitive areas (including wetlands or streams). The report also concludes that downstream drainage is currently piped to the City Shops site approximately 2,000 feet southwest of the property and that the proposed detention facility — a combination detention vault/wet vault for water quality and quantity control — to be installed with the development should be sufficient to mitigated for the increase runoff from the improved site. However, there are documented drainage problems in this area. Therefore, the drainage system for the project has been required as a SEPA mitigation measure to be designed in accordance with the 1998 King County sitebsp Cl of of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Site F & Binding Site Plan Staff Report 3F' & UNION TOWNHOMES LUA-02-072, ECF, SA -A, BSP REPORT AND DECISION OFAUGUST 27, 2002 Page 7 of 11 Surface Water Drainage Manual (KCSWDM). In addition, the system will be reviewed under the Level 2 Flow Control; including water quality facility sizing requirements. The drainage plan submitted was prepared in compliance with the 1990 KCSWDM and will need to be revised in order to appropriately accommodate the planned development and ensure that potential impacts to surface water will be property mitigated. As the system is likely to remain below grade as initially designed, the revised storm drainage plan will not likely require significant revisions or alterations to the proposed site plan. The applicant will be required to submit a revised drainage plan and report prior to the issuance of construction permits for the project. The proposal would provide the appropriate extensions and connections to serve the development with all other necessary utilities. Additional information regarding the existing and required improvements is included in the Advisory Notes portion of this report. Required Improvements: Required improvements shall be provided for, either by actual construction or a construction schedule approved by the City and bonded by the applicant, The Administrator may also authorize the phasing of installation of improvements provided - any delay in satisfying requirements will not adversely impact public health, safety, or welfare. The required street and utility improvements necessary for the project would occur subsequent to preliminary approval and prior to the recording of the binding site plan with the issuance of the appropriate construction permits — which staff recommends be required as a condition of approval. Shared Conditions: The Administrator may authorize sharing of open space, parking, access and other improvements among contiguous properties subject to the binding site plan. Conditions of use, maintenance and restrictions on redevelopment of shared open space, parking, access and other improvements shall be identified on the binding site plan and enforced by covenants, easements or other similar mechanisms. Future owners of the lots created by the binding site plan would be subject to a homeowner's association or maintenance agreement, which would be created concurrently with the recording of the binding site plan. This has been recommended as a condition of approval for the project. 4. Reasonableness of Proposed Boundaries Topography. The subject site is generally flat with the exception of a gently sloping knoll at the center of the site, which contains the steepest slope on the site approximated at 10%. The site is heavily vegetated with grasses, brush, blackberries, small to medium deciduous trees, and a few evergreen trees. Materials resulting from anticipated site preparation activities will be balanced on site. The project would require the removal of approximately 18 existing trees (maple, cedar, dogwood, fir, pine, and holly) on the site. However, 10 existing maples trees located adjacent to the NE T Court sidewalk will be retained. The installation of native plants, shrubs and trees is included with the proposal. With the land use application, the applicant submitted a Geotechnical Engineering Report prepared by Cornerstone Geotechnical Inc. dated June 13, 2002. The report states that the site is underlain by medium dense to very dense glacial deposits capable of supporting the planned structures and pavements. The report concludes that the site is compatible with the proposed development. Recommendations regarding construction windows, foundations, and site preparation are also included with the report and have been required as a SEPA mitigation measure by the Environmental Review Committee. Potential erosion impacts that could occur during project construction would be adequately mitigated by City Code requirements for approval of a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (TESCP) pursuant to the King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and a Construction Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of Construction Permits. The applicant's SEPA checklist indicates the use of best management practices is intended throughout the duration of the project. Relationship to Existing Uses: The subject site is largely surrounded by residential uses to the east and south, as well as commercial development northward of the project along the NE 4t' Street corridor. The proposed townhome development appears to be suitable within the context of the existing uses in the area. 5. Availability and Impact on Public Services Transportation: Future development of the site is anticipated to generate additional traffic on the City's street system. In order to mitigate transportation impacts, a Transportation Mitigation Fee has been imposed by the Environmental Review Committee as part of the threshold Determination of Non -Significance — Mitigated (DNS-M) issued for the project. sitebsp % of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Site I & Binding Site Plan Staff Report 3'i & UNION TOWNHOMES LUA-02-072, ECF, SA -A, BSP REPORT AND DECISION OF AUGUST 27, 2002 Page 8 of 11 Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicate that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the proposed development, subject to the condition that the applicant provide Code required improvements and fees at the time of site specific development. A Fire Mitigation Fee has also been imposed by the Environmental Review Committee as part of the threshold Determination of Non -Significance — Mitigated (DNS-M) issued for the project in order to mitigate potential impacts to emergency services. Recreation: The project is anticipated to generate uses of existing parks and recreational facilities. Therefore, as part of the threshold Determination of Non -Significance — Mitigated (DNS-M) issued for the project, the applicant will be require to pay the appropriate Parks Mitigation Fee. Schools: The site is located within the boundaries of the Renton School District. Renton School District No. 403 has indicated that Maplewood Elementary School, McKnight Middle School, and Hazen High School can accommodate the increased student enrollment that may result from the development of the proposed project, which is estimated at 8.8 students. The district has indicated that these schools would be able to support the additional students generated by the proposal. Utilities: Presently, there are existing water, sanitary sewer and surface water utilities available to serve the subject development provided the necessary improvements and connections are completed by the applicant. In order to provide the required fire flow for the development, the installation of a 10-inch watermain loop system will be required. Additional information regarding the existing and required improvements is included in the Advisory Notes portion of this report.

Additional information regarding the appeal process may be obtained from the Renton City Clerk's Office, (425) 430-6510. Advisory Notes to Applicant. The following notes are supplemental information provided in conjunction with the environmental determination. Because these notes are provided as information only, they are not subject to the appeal process for environmental determinations. Planning 1. The site is designated Center Suburban (CS) on the City's Zoning Map and the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. 2. The property is also located within Area B of the Centers Residential Demonstration District. Parks 1. All landscaping is to be maintained by the property owners. Fire Prevention 1. One fire hydrant with 1,000 gpm fire flow is required within 300 feet of all new single-family/duplex structures. If the building square footage exceeds 3,600 square feet in area, the minimum required fire flow increases to 1,500 gpm and 2 hydrants are required within 300 feet of the structures. 2. Separate plans and permits are required for the installation of fire alarm systems. 3. Street addresses shall be posted on each building. Plan Review — Street Improvements 1. Full street improvements, including curb, gutter, sidewalk and street paving, is required along the full frontage of the property's street abutting property lines (if not already in place). 2. The dedication of additional right-of-way is necessary in order to achieve the minimum 15-foot corner radius for the abutting intersection. 3. Street lighting (if not already existing) along the frontage of the project will be designed and installed in accordance to City of Renton standards. 4. All new electrical, phone and cable services must be underground. Plan Review —Water 1. This site is located in the 565 Water Pressure Zone. The static pressure at the street level is approximately 69 psi. 2. There is a 10" watermain in NE 3`d Ct, adjacent to the site. This watermain is modeled to provide 3900 GPM (derated). 3. The City of Renton Fire Marshal requires a 2750 GPM for this project. It appears that to meet this fire -flow demand will require a 10" watermain loop system to serve the new development. This will be required to be installed in the proposed private lane, and shall connect to the existing 10 " water main in N E 3rd Ct; at the west end and the east end of each driveway (as shown on the submittal), including a stub -out to the north property line. 4. A minimum of three fire hydrants will be required to serve the new development. The City of Renton code requires a primary hydrant is required within 150 feet of and structure. A secondary hydrant is required to be installed within 300 feet of the structure (distance is measured along the travel route). The proposed water plan, as submitted, does not comply with the requirements as described above. sitebsp % of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Site P 9 Binding Site Plan Staff Report 3R & UNION TOWNHOMES LUA-02-072, ECF, SA -A, BSP REPORT AND DECISION OF AUGUST 27, 2002 Page 11 of 11 5. This project will be required to pay the Water System Development fee of $665/unit. These fees are included as a part of the construction permit fee. Plan Review — Sanitary Sewer 1. There is an existing 8" sanitary sewer main in NE 3`d Ct; at the west end. 2. There is also an existing 8" main in Union Ave NE; at the north property line. 3. The project will be required to install a new 8" sanitary sewer main extension in NE 3`d Ct (Note: An alternative alignment may be allowed as long as it connects NE 3`d Ct with Union Ave NE. The main will run from Union Ave NE to the existing sewer in NE 3` Ct. The sewer plan as submitted does not comply with the requirement as described above. 4. Development will be served via gravity. Dual sidesewers will not be allowed. 5. This site is located in the East Renton Special Assessment District. These fees are $224.52 plus interest per Single Family connection. These fees are collected when the construction permit is issued. 6. A Multi -family System Development Charge of $455 per each new unit is required. The Development Charges are collected as part of the construction permit. Plan Review — Storm Drainage 1. There are storm drainage facilities in Union Av NE and NE 3`d Ct. 2. The Surface Water System Development Charges of $0.183 per square foot of new impervious surface area added (but not less than $525). The Development Charges are collected with the construction permit. Plan Review — Aquifer 1. The site is located in Aquifer Protection Zone 2 and may be subject to additional requirements per City code. Constructed secondary containment may be required if more than 20 gallons of regulated hazardous materials will be present at the new facility (RMC 4-3-050H2d(i)). A fill source statement (RMC 4-4-060L4) is required if more than 100 cubic yards of fill material will be imported to the project site. Construction Activity Standards (RMC 4-4- 03007) shall be followed if during construction, more than 20 gallons of hazardous materials will be stored on site or vehicles will be fueled on site. Surface Water Management Standards (RMC 4-6-030E2 and 3)--Biofilters, stormwater conveyance, and water quality ponds may require a groundwater protection liner. Impervious surfaces shall be provided for areas subject to vehicular use or storage of chemicals. This is not intended to be a complete list of the APA requirements nor does this information substitute for the full ordinance, it is only intended to guide the applicant to the City of Renton code book. Plan Review — Erosion Control 1. Temporary Erosion Control shall be installed and maintained to the satisfaction of the representative of the Development Services Division for the duration of the project. During the months of October 1s' though April 30'n special erosion control measures during the rainy season will be required. A copy is attached. Plan Review — General 1.

Let me give you a little background concerning this request. As I am sure you will recall, AnMarCo is the owner of the site of the former Stoneway Concrete batch plant site at 1915 Maple Valley Highway and, back in October of 2000, AnMarCo and Stoneway entered into a written agreement with the City for relocation ofthe batch plant in view of City concerns over the plant's location in Aquifer Protection Zone 1. We completed our end of the bargain a little over a year ago by dismantling the old plant. We even set up a brand new, state- of-the-art batch plant in Renton (at 915 Houser Way North), keeping our jobs in Renton. (By the way, your Planning/Building/Public Works Staff was very helpful in the transition process and we want to acknowledge their hard work and cooperation in assisting us in that process.) One part of the bargain in our agreement that the City is now somewhat behind on is providing our former plant site with access to a signalized intersection. (Technically, under our existing Agreement, such access was to have been provided by August of last year.) The planned Maple Valley Highway Widening Project contemplates signalized access to both our site and the abutting Cedar River Park. Accordingly, over the last year and a half, we have been working with your Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator, Gregg Zimmerman, to develop a new agreement to address issues relating to that joint access and other aspects of the Maple Valley Highway Widening Project. We appear to be quite close to an agreement, but City funding for the project has not come through yet, delaying the project. We further understand that the City has not been fully successful in obtaining grant funding for the project and that that may cause even further delays. The lack of signalized access to our property has suddenly become an acute issue for us because a national health services provider, Cancer Treatment Centers of America, has expressed a strong interest in purchasing our property and developing one of their major facilities on it during 2005. Signalized access will be crucial for that to happen. Renton City Council c/o Renton City Clerk's Office January 8, 2004 Page 2 The Maple Valley Highway Widening Project is an important improvement to one of the City's main gateways and is worthy of your support. Jump-starting it with the Metro -King County mitigation funds would be a way of getting it moving and also meeting the City's end of the bargain under our existing contract. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, AnMarCo Donald J. Merlin, Partner cc: David L. Halinen, Esq., Halinen Law Offices, P.S.

RECOMMENDATION: The Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends that the City Council increase the project budget authority for the East Valley Lift Station Replacement Project from $747,000 to $947,000. The additional budget authority would be created through a transfer from the Wastewater Sewer Replacement Account (421.000400.018.5960.0035.045300) as part of the 2004 Carryforward Ordinance. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: As we started construction of the East Valley Lift Station Replacement project, three major issues arose. The first issue was a conflict with two existing utilities, power and telephone. Because of the conflict it was decided to shift the location of the station. This decision was made for two reasons. Historically, getting the private utilities relocated is based upon the schedule of the utility's contractor, which is not typically in coordination with our construction schedule. Also, it was determined that this line was the primary power feed for Valley Medical Center. Their other feed was down at the time for work by Puget Sound Energy. We decided that the January 9, 2004 Page 2 prudent course of action was to shift the new station away from the power to minimize the potential for damage to the single power feed to Valley Medical Center. The resulting relocating of the station created extra costs for engineering services for the redesign, for stabilizing and restoration of the road (moving the station away from the power put it closer to the road), and extended temporary bypass pumping of the existing sewers. The second issue was due to concerns about the existing soils. We increased the scope of our consultant and contractor to monitor the ground, adjacent building, and road for settlement. Extra work included an additional monitoring well between the construction site and building, setting some surveyed monitoring points, and checking them on a regular basis during the construction of the wet well. These additional measures helped to ensure that we minimized our risk of damaging the adjacent commercial building(s) and to help minimize damage to East Valley Road. The third issue was a side sewer from a business across the street from the station site. Our records did not show the side sewer at this location. We did not know we had disturbed the side sewer until we crushed it during installation of the piling for the wet well. Since we did not know how far back into East Valley Road the line was damaged, it was determined that the most efficient action was to find the side sewer on the opposite side of the road and replace from there to ensure adequate slope. The lack of information on the side sewer created the need to locate the pipe and made it costly to find. The installation of the side sewer at a depth of ten -to -twelve feet in poor soils was complicated by the near record rains experienced in November. In addition, there were two old concrete roadways beneath the current asphalt road. Additional time was added to the side sewer construction in order to keep East Valley Road open during construction. All extra work was performed on a time and materials basis that was closely monitored by City staff. While the overall costs are high, they are reasonable to the level of extra work that was required to ensure the protection of the surrounding areas including utilities, East Valley Road, and local businesses. For 2004, we will need budget authority for $470,000 to complete the project. This includes work remaining under the original construction and consultant contracts as well as the additional work described herein. We are requesting that this budget authority be created as follows: Carry Forward From Accounts: 421.000400.018.5960.0035.045010 (Lift Station Repl/Rehab) $225,000 421.000400.018.5960.0035.045300 (San Sew Main Repl/Rehab) $245,000 Total $470,000 To Account: 421.000400.018.5960.0035.045010 (Lift Station Repl/Rehab) $470,000 January 9, 2004 Page 3 This total requested budget authority of $947,000 includes the $470,000 budget authority requested for 2004 with the balance having been spent as work completed in 2003. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Construction related issues as identified above will cause project costs to exceed previously approved total budget authority. As such we are requesting the increase budget authority to ensure project,completion. W:\WWP-27-2906 East Valley Lift Station\ISSUE02.doc\MABtp
