Subject: Boeing Comments to Land Use Notice LUA22-000283; PR22-000229
Easement Impacts of Proposed Project at 320 Logan Ave. N.
Dear Mr. Morganroth:
This letter respond s to Land Use Notice LUA22-000283, an application for a proposed new six -story,
mixed use building.
The Boeing Company has real property interests in the property located at 320 Logan Avenue N., Renton
WA 98057 pursuant to an easement burdening that property that was granted to the company in 1979 .
(See easement attached.) Boeing installed t wo 12-inch underground domestic water lines in this easement
area to serve the Renton Plant. These water lines have long been used to provide critical supplies of water
to the plant for domestic water and fire flow purposes supporting our manufacturing of aircraft.
Boeing has reviewed the applicant ’s documents and has concluded that the proposed project would violat e
Boeing’s rights under the easement. If completed, the project would not allow Boeing space needed to
maintain or repair the water lines. From our review of the reports and application materials, it appears
likely that construction activities would damage the water lines. As designed, the building may also pose
the risk of permanent structural damage to Boeing’s existing faci lities within the easement area. The
applicant has not provided Boeing with design, engineering, or other analyses documenting the applicant’s
review of these issues, nor has applicant proposed any measures or controls to address these matters.
Boeing opposes this land use permit unless a formal agreement is signed between the two parties that is
consistent with and does not infringe on Boeing’s continued exercise of its rights under the easement .
Please contact the undersigned with any questions.
Sincerely,
The Boeing Company
