D:92-148:GAZ:ps .S" • � '� '� CITY OF RENTON MEMORANDUM DATE: February 25, 1992 T0: City Council VIA: Mayor Earl Clymer FROM: L,�r�ii, uttmann STAFF CONTACT: Gregg Zimmerman SUBJECT: LIMITED EXEMPTION OF CITY OF RENTON SPECIAL UTILITY CONNECTION CHARGES (SUCC) FOR THE SPIRIT OF WASHINGTON DINNER TRAIN PROJECT, LOCATED AT SOUTH 4TH STREET, BETWEEN SMITHERS AVENUE SOUTH AND BURNETT AVENUE SOUTH ISSUE: Spirit of Washington, Inc. is proposing to relocate the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train to Renton. The Spirit of Washington is proposing to use the existing Renton Depot at South 4th Street and Burnett Avenue as the base of their operations. The Renton Depot occupies a .635 acre portion of the railroad right-of-way which extends through the City. Improvements to the site will trigger application of the sewer and possibly the water Special Utility Connection Charges. Under the provisions of the current City code, the SUCC fees would be assessed against the entire parcel, which includes extensive railroad right-of-way through the City. City Ordinance #4321 allows Iimited exemptions (segregations) to be granted under specific conditions for the purpose of sub-dividing a tract to determine an appropriate Special Utility Connection Charge; however, the Spirit of Washington project does not qualify for a Iimited exemption from SUCC fees under this ordinance. This application requests that the City Council approve a segregation of the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train site from the Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way parcel for purposes of segregating SUCC fees, so that the applicant will be assessed the fee which is consistent with the size of the property they will be using. �ity Council • 'Spirit of Washington �ier Train Project � Page 2 of 3 BACKGROUND: With regard to the City of Renton SUCC fees for water and sewer service, as they apply to proposed renovation of the Renton Depot railroad property and the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train project, we submit the following: 1) Water SUCC fee for Commercial Development is 50.126 per square feet of property. (Subject site .635 acres x 0.126 = 53,487.76.) Trigger mechanism: Any rebuilding, change in use or additions that require additional water usage such as the installation of one or more of these: fire hydrant, larger meter or an irrigation meter. 2) Sewer SUCC fee for Commercial Development is 50.063 per square feet of property. (Subject site .635 acres x .063 = 51 ,743.88.) Trigger mechanism: Remodel or additions made in excess of 525,000 that require a plumbing permit for first time addition(s) of a new water using unit, which may include, but not limited to toilets, sinks, etc. Any property redeveloped and the use intensified such that a 4" sanitary sewer stub is required to be replaced with a 6" sewers tub, or additional or a larger commercial stub is required to the sewer main. 3) The train depot is situated on a portion of railroad right-of-way that runs for miles. Because the depot renovation is occurring on 27,680.65 square feet of the railroad right-of-way, it is not feasible that we ask the developer to pay SUCC fees on the entire railroad length of right-of-way through the City of Renton. 4) City Ordinance #4321 allows large commercial tracts to be sub-divided for the purpose of determining an appropriate Special Utility Connection Charges for phases or partial development of a property. Under Ordinance #4321 Limited Exemptions (segregations) are granted to, for and by: o Municipal Corporations; for open space min. 100,000 square feet; o Plat - regardless of size; o Shot plat - regardless of size; and o Administrative Determination; minimum size of area segregated, shall be five (5) acres. . ,City Council � • 'Spirit of Washington b'�"�'ner Train Project Page 3 of 3 5) Because the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train project site does not qualify for a limited exemption of SUCC fees under existing Ordinance #4321 , due to either size or status, the developer/owner has applied for a segregation of SUCC fees for the specific portion of the property to be developed, to the Renton City Council. RECOMMENDATION: The Utility Systems staff recommends that the City Council grant this petition to assess the SUCC charges against the Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way proposed for use for the subject project. The following criteria shall determine the segregation of fees: a) The segregated area shall include, but not be limited to, all contiguous existing developed land for which the SUCC fees have not been paid; all proposed buildings; driveways and sidewalks, parking areas, grass and landscape areas, public access areas; storm drainage facilities, detention ponds; and, improvements required for mitigation of environmental impacts under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). b) The boundary line for the segregation of SUCC fees shall be established by metes and bounds legal description and shall not be closer than fifteen feet to any structure. An administrative fee of 5750 will be assessed for preparation, processing and recording of the segregated fee by Restrictive Covenant. Concurrence of Burlington Northern Railroad, the property owner, will be required.

S . AND BURNETT AVE. S . Gentlemen: The Spirit of Washington Dinner Train project is before your staff for land use review. In advance of the final review comments, we were informed certain development fees known as 5pecial Utility Connection Charges, will be triggered as a result of this project. Apparently these Special Utility Connection charges (SUCC fees) are triggered by various mechanisms on an entire parcel, unless a limited exemption is granted excusing the undeveloped portion from the SUCC fee. In our case the railroad depot development site is on a 512, 701 . 2 square foot portion of railroad right-of-way that runs for miles through the City of Renton. It is economically impossible for us to consider payment of development fees on any portion of land other than our 27, 680 . 65 square foot site. We understand City of Renton Ordinance No. 4321 allows large commercial tracts to be subdivided for the purpose of determining an appropriate Special Utilit.y Connection Charge for a nhase or gartial development of the property. The ordinance states, certain property classes are eligible for a reduction in fees created by segregation. They are: ( 1 ) municipal properties, having apen space areas at least 100, 000 square feet in area; and (2) platted or short platted properties and large tracts of privately owned property if the minimum size of the area to be segregated is five (5) acres. None of the above property classes apply to the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train project. Our project site is less than five (5) acres, non-platted, and privately owned. Therefore, we respectfully request the City Council consider a segregation of the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train site from the B.N. Railroad right-of-way parcel for purposes of segregating SUCC fees . In granting this exemption you will provide us with relief from 32 NORTH FRONT STREET, YAKIMA, WASHINGTON 98901 • 452-2336 • 1-800-876-RAII. .� .,, `�,r , � a substantial financial burden when undertaking a limited development of a large parcel of property. Attached please find a detailed plan showing a proposed boundary line for the SUCC fee determination, a legal description, and square footage figure for the specific portion of the property to be segregated, together with payment of the $750 . 00 administrative fee for preparation, processing, and recording the segregated fee by Restrictive Covenant.
