Therefore, it was MOVED BY HUGHES, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, THE SCOTT 10% ANNEXATION PUBLIC MEETING BE CONTINUED FOR ONE WEEK TO JUNE 25, 1984 TO ALLOW REPUBLISHING AND POSTING OF THE CORRECTED NOTICE. CARRIED. Upon inquiry, Mr. Clemens reported King County zoning designation of RS-7200, Residential Single Family, for most of the annexing area; and Comprehensive Plan designation of single family, low density multiple family, and greenbelt. SPECIAL Police Chief Alan Wallis addressed the Mayor and Council PRESENTATION regarding Valley Communication Center, which provides 24-hour Valley dispatch services for the Renton, Kent, Auburn. Pacific and Communication Tukwila Police and Fire Departments as well as many King Center County Fire Districts, Algona Police Department and Valley Medic Units. Since its inception in 1977, Valley-Com has been located in a converted fire station in Kent which no longer serves the space requirements of the operation and is in need of upgrading. A study prepared by Matrix Management Group summarizes an analysis of several alternatives for meeting current and future space needs of Valley-Com. Jan Rosholt, Vice President, Matrix Management, described the five alternatives as follows: 1 ) Expand existing facilities; 2) Relocate to an existing building; 3) Design and construct new facility; 4) Design and construct new facility jointly with another agency; and 5) Build/leaseback by private party. Continued The third alternative is recommended by the consultant since it would allow the maximum effectiveness for all operational aspects. It would provide for a new facility to be built at a cost of $771 ,875 to be located on the existing property or on a new parcel nearby meeting the site selection criteria, and meeting completion deadline of September, 1985 (E911 system scheduled to go into effect) . This alternative would meet E911 communications needs through the year 2000. Continued Upon inquiry, Chief Wallis reported that Valley-Com has approximately 72,000 dispatchable calls per year, and about 38,000 incoming telephone calls per month. An increase in volume is anticipated with commencement of E911 system. Mayor Shinpoch explained that although Alternative No. 3 assesses the highest cost to the city (Renton ' s share is 31 .81%) , the advantages, such as efficient building design and room for expansion, far outweigh the financial impact. Following discussion, it was MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY CLYMER, CITY OF RENTON GO ON RECORD APPROVING ALTERNATIVE NO. 3 FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW VALLEY COMMUNICATION CENTER SUBJECT TO A PRESENTATION BY THE FINANCE DIRECTOR ON THE ASPECTS OF FINANCING.

MOVED BY CLYMER, SECONDED BY REED, COUNCIL ADOPT THE ORDINANCE AS READ.

R-010-84; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 LOCATION: Located on the west side of Talbot Fad South approximately 500 feet south of South Grady Way. SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Applicant seeks approval to: 1) rezone approximately 0.84 0 an acre of property from H-1 to B-1; 2) for a conditional use permit to construct an electrical distribution substtat on the subject property; and 3) for a specia permit to allow 12,010 cubic yards of preload material and structural fill on the site. SUMMARY OF ACTION: Building and Zoning Department Recommendation: Approval of rezone. Approval of conditional use, subject to approval of rezone. Approval of special permit subject to conditions. Hearing Examiner Recommendation/Decision: Recommend approval of rezone; approve of conditional use permit; approve of special permit, subject to conditions. BUILDING & ZONING The Building & Zoning Department Report was DEPARTMENT REPORT: received by the Examiner on February 21, 1984. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Building and Zoning Department Report, examining available information on file with the application and field checking the property and surrounding area, the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: The hearing was opened on February 28, 1984, at 9:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the Renton Municipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit #1: Yellow file containing the application, staff report, and other documents pertaining to posting and publication. Exhibit #2: Site/Landscaping Plan for the proposal. The Examiner noted the applicant should be aware that the rezone will be heard also by the City Council and that the conditional use and the special permit applications will be considered separat€ly from the rezone request. Roger Blaylock, Zoning Administrator, presented the staff report. He indicated the applicant is seeking approval to rezone 0.84 of an acre of property from H-1 to B-1; for a conditional use permit I o allow construction of an electrical distribution station; and for a special permit to allow 12,010 cubic yards of preload material and structural fill on the site. The applicant is not the property owner; the owner is Renton Village, and the applicant has been granted a perpetual easemert for the subject site. Mr. Blaylock continued by stating that the size of the proposed substation has been reduced by approxirately 90% over the existing structure due to the many new types of equipment that can be Jtilized. This proposal would be an extension of the Renton Village Shopping Center area, with Renton Village eventually expanding to this area. Further, Mr. Blaylock noted Renton Village has requested their property be rezoned to B-1. The site is currently undeveloped, and will be filled and graded. Upon completion of this project, Puget Power will remove the existing switchyard. PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March 8, 1984 Page 2 The Utilities Division of the City has stated that a major 24" water main must be extended from South Renton Village Place up to the 6 line that goes through the subject site. This is a part of the change of the water service to that entire area. The ERC has issued a Declaration of Non-Significance on the subject property. The proposal does meet the criteria outlined in the code for rezone, conditional use, and special permit requirements; the site presently is not landscaped and applicant has proposed use of a chain link fence with cedar slats, as well as heavy landscaping. The height of the existing structure will be reduced and will therefore have a pleasing effect on the area. The Examiner inquired if water and sewer were necessary for the site. Mr.Blaylock noted the neither water nor sewer would be a necessity for the site. Mr. Blaylock stated the special permit is being requested to fast-track the project to have the facility on line by this fall; the rezone process could take up to 2 months and the applicant needs that time to begin construction to meet their schedule. The Examiner noted the area has been subject to ponding and flooding in the past and asked for comment on this from staff. Mr. Blaylock stated the area does drain to the southwest and into the P-i Channel, and the parking lot of the Renton Village has become a detention storage area; there are two new 60" drain lines which have been installed on Puget Power property on the north side and this has alleviated some of that problem. He deferred this matter to Mr. Bergstrom for comment later in the hearing. Mr. Blaylock then noted staff recommends the Examiner recommend approval to the City Council of the rezone request (R-010-84); that the Examiner approve CU-011-84, subject to the condition that the rezone be approved; and that the special permit for fill and grade SP-012-84) be approved, subject to the following conditions: 1. Limitation of operational hours to prohibit truck traffic between 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., and from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. 2. Posting of a $2,000 cash bond to assure cleaning of public rights-of-way as determined by the Public Works Department or the Police Department. The Examiner inquired where access to the proposal would be. Mr. Blaylock indicated it would be from Talbot Road. The Examiner asked if the applicant was aware this proposal would require site approval prior to constructing the facility. Mr. Blaylock stated he believed the conditional use permit allowed that and suggested it so be considered by the Examiner. The Examiner noted he would consider it in his decision process. The Examiner then called on the applicant or representative. Responding was: Andy Padvorac Puget Power Building Bellevue, WA 98009 Mr. Padvorac stated he was a representative for Puget Power and Renton Village as property owner. He noted the site would be much cleaner aesthetically than the existing substation; he emphasized the time constraint involved here and noted this must be completed by summer, 1984 to avoid an extremely heavy additional cost to the applicant. Mr. Padvorac referred to a comment from the Traffic Engineering Division in the staff report with reference to driveway access being widened to 30'. He stated this is not a traffic generation site and that there would only be one small pickup using the access for weekly maintenance checkups; that it would be utilized very seldom, but the configuration of the equipment on site would not allow a vehicle to make a turnaround on the property. He asked that the driveway width be maintained at 20', and suggested that perhaps the radius at the curb be altered to allow wider turning from Talbot, but still maintain the width of the driveway to 20'. Bo Bergstrom of the Public Works Department noted the staff is concerned about moving 1 wboys with equipment in and out of there and damaging sidewalks in doing so. Mr. Bergstrom agreed with Mr. Padvorac's suggestion to widen the curb radius. PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March 8, 1984 Page 3 Mr. Padvorac continued by stating he felt the extension of the 24" water main on Talbot was not logical for the substation since it will not be needed; they will only be utilizing water f')r irrigation of the landscaping. He requested this requirement be eliminated or restrict the use of the site in the B-1 to electrical distribution site, with any other use requiring site plan approval. Mr. Pacivorac again addressed the storm drainage problem. The Examiner noted the report nade mention that the site does contain water; the patrons of the shopping center have found their automobiles to be sitting in a lake of water during a heavy rain storm. Mr. Pacvorac acknowledged there has been a definite flooding problem in that area, but believes it has been largely eliminated by the placement in 1982 of a 6' diameter storm drainagf: pipe. The Examiner called on Mr. Bergstrom to address the concerns of the Public Works Departn lent. Mr. Bergstrom noted this area is a part of the Rolling Hills drainage basin and is subject to intermittent flooding; the area is not in a flood control zone, but the city has required higher storm detention improvements for the area. He further noted the Public Works Department ultimately wants to build a large storage culvert, to drain the Renton Village Shopping Center and all areas to the east. Mr. Pacivorac again stated he does not believe the track record of the area has been established since placement of the 6' culvert to divert some of the water from the area. The Ex jminer stated he would take this matter under advisement when making his recommendation to the City Council. Mr. Padvorac requested this matter be looked at very carefully by the Examiner. The Examiner noted he was not certain if it was within his jurisdiction to address the 24" water main extension on Talbot Road. The Exz miner then called for further testimony in support of the application. There was none. No one in opposition to the proposal was in attendance at the hearing. The hearing was cloied at 9:55 a.m. The Examiner noted he would make his recommendation to the City Co incil within 14 days. FINDINC.SLCONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. TI e applicant, Puget Sound Power and Light Company, filed a request for approval of a rezone, conditional use permit, and site plan approval for an approximately 0.84 acre site. 2. The application file containing the application, the State Environmental Policy Act SEPA) documentation, the Building & Zoning Department Report, and other pertinent documents, was entered into the record as Exhibit #1. 3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA, a Declaration of Non-Significance has been issued for the subject proposal by the Environmental Review Committee (ERC), responsible official. 4. Pl ins for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the irr pact of this development. 5. The subject proposal met with no opposition from the public. 6. Tf e subject site is located on the west side of Talbot Road S., approximat ply 500 feet south of S. Grady Way, just east of the Renton Village Shopping Center. PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March 8, 1984 Page 4 7. With the exception of a slight depression under the power lines, the site is relatively level. The vegetation on portions of the site reflects a swampy character and consists of cattails. Other portions of the site contain blackberries and grasses. 8. The area has been subject to periodic flooding in the past, resulting partially from storm water off of lands to the east of the site. While new culverts have been installed, the location would appear to channel additional water to the area. I-405, which serves as a type of impoundment berm, does not have sufficient systems to pass the water through to the south where ultimate drainage occurs. The new system does not provide additional southerly flow. 9. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of commercial uses, but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the plan. 10. The subject site was annexed into the City in May of 1956 by Ordinance 1547. The site was reclassified from its original designation of GS-1 to H-1 (Heavy Industrial) by Ordinance 1741 in March of 1959. 11. The subject site is a small portion of a larger area which was Puget Power's Renton Switch, an electrical transmission switching facility. Changes in technology and community growth have led to a gradual relocation of many of Renton Switch' s functions. The smaller facility now proposed for the subject site will be all that is necessary at this location. Puget Power has sold the entire site, retaining a perpetual easement on just the portion now under consideration. The existing H-1 zoning which encompasses the entire former site, together with the adjacent Renton Village Shopping Center and other property east of Talbot Road South, requires extensive setbacks which the applicant indicated will jeopardize development of the subject site. The applicant has therefore requested that the site be reclassified to B-1, together with the necessary conditional use permit to allow an electrical substation. 12. The filling and grading of the site will require approximately 1,000 truck trips for the 12,000 yards of material. The grading is necessary to level and stabilize the site to permit placement of the electrical equipment. CONCLUSIONS: REZONE 1. The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest, will not impair the public health, safety, and welfare, and in addition, is in compliance with at least one of the three criteria found in Section 4-3010, which provides in part that: a. The subject site has not been considered in a previous area-wide rezone or land use analysis; or b. The subject site is potentially designated for the new classification per the Comprehensive Plan; or c. There has been a material and substantial change in the circumstances in the area in which the subject site is located since the last rezoning of the property or area. The applicant has indicated that the requested reclassification of the subject site is warranted. 2. The subject site is located immediately south of the Renton Central Business District and adjacent to a major city shopping center. This location makes the site unsuitable for the development of heavy industrial uses. While less intense uses could locate on the site, the setback requirements and the potential for less desirable heavy industrial neighbors justifies the applicant's request. PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March 8, 1984 Page 5 3. The Comprehensive Plan has also been modified regarding this area for a relatively long time and designates the area for business or commercial uses. The current H-1 zoning was imposed to reflect the existing nature of the site as the location of a transformer and major electrical switching functions. The zoning for the site no longer reflects the current technology and the public welfare would be better served by downzoning the subject site as requested by the applicants. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 4. The proposed substation is not permitted outright in the requested B-1 zone, but is permitted due to its quasi-public nature; that is, electrical power generation is a necessary and valuable public service. It may be permitted if it is compatible with the area, the existing uses, and generally does not impair or impact the public health, safety, and welfare. The criteria enumerated in Section 4-748(C) requires conformance to the Comprehensive Plan, setback and bulk requirements of the site's zone, compatibility with the surrounding uses, analysis of traffic generation upon the circulation patterns, and sufficient parking. 5. The proposed use will be landscaped and screened from adjacent streets and surrounding property. The adjacent property is in the ownership of the operators of Renton Village, and expansion of the shopping center is envisioned. The proposed substation does not appear to have any adverse impacts on potential expansion of the shopping center. 6. The site will be unmanned, but subject to periodic maintenance. Parking and traffic demands of the site should therefore be minimal and parking will be provided within the confines of the subject site. Driveway turning radius, structural strength, and other technical considerations must be approved by the Department of Public Works. The nature of the site, thaugh, appears to require the double driveway. 7. Tr e electrical substation will serve the public interest and is a necessary public service. As such, as long as it does not unduly intrude on the neighboring properties and the general public, it should be approved for the subject site. SPECIAL PERMIT 8. The request for the special permit is necessitated by the applicant's need to prepare the site for quick construction once all necessary approvals are in order. The preloading and filling will be required to provide a sufficient grade upon which to locate the electrical equipment. 9. The approximately 12,000 cubic yards of fill will require approximately 1,000 heavy veiicle trips to an area with large peak hour traffic demands. Under the cis cumstances, limitations on the hours of truck movements will be necessary to liriit interference with the arterial traffic in the area. Truck traffic will, therefore, be limited to the weekdays to provide monitoring of the roads by city staff, and no operational access shall occur between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.rn., or between the hours of 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. 10. To assure that roads are kept free of debris, a cash bond of $2,000 shall be posted to allow the city to clear roads not cleaned by the applicant's contractor. 11. The site is swampy and the record reflects the fact that the general area has been subject to inundation in the past. Any fill on the site would therefore cause dig placement of storm water to adjacent properties which cannot be permitted. The applicant's contention that insufficient retention on other sites has contributed to tho problem cannot justify ignoring the potential exacerbation if the subject site is filled. Therefore, the applicant will have to provide compensating storage either on the subject site or by agreement with adjacent property owners on adjacent property. PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March 8, 1984 Page 6 The record indicated that the modifications to culverts which has occurred may not alleviate flooding, and precautions are therefore necessary in this area. 12. The review of the conditional use permit would appear to provide stricter criteria than the site plan review process required by the Grade & Fill Ordinance and should suffice. RECOMMENDATION AND DECISION: 1. The City Council should approve the rezone request. 2. The Conditional Use Permit is approved. 3. The Special Permit for fill and grade is approved, subject to: a. Provision of a $2,000 cash bond to permit street cleanup of debris; b. The hours of operation will be limited to weekdays and shall not be permitted between 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m, and from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.; c. The applicant shall provide equivalent storm water detention on the site or adjacent property to that displaced by fill, and development of the subject site. ORDERED THIS 8th day of March, 1984.

PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-E34; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March E, 1984 Page 7 The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte (private one-on-one) communications may occur concerning land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in private with any decision-maker concerning the proposal. Decision-makers in the land use process include both the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Ccuncil. All communications concerning the the proposal must be made in public. This permits all interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court. The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for Recons deration as well as Appeals to the City Council. 1 L I i. -.********6.,I Tti 1 , ' rim;1:11;il.1 ..`..; ;i..F i - . . ....4. • .

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant, Puget Sound Power and Light Company, filed a request for approval of a rezone, conditional use permit, and site plan approval for an approximately 0.84 acre site. 2. The application file containing the application, the State Environmental Policy Act EPA) documentation, the Building & Zoning Department Report, and other pertinent documents, was entered into the record as Exhibit #1. 3. F ursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA, a Declaration of Non-Significance has been issued for the subject proposal by the Environmental F'eview Committee (ERC), responsible official. 4. Flans for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the impact of this development. 5. The subject proposal met with no opposition from the public. 6. The subject site is located on the west side of Talbot Road S., approximately 500 f et south of S. Grady Way, just east of the Renton Village Shopping Center. PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-134; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March 8, 1984 Page 4 7. W,th the exception of a slight depression under the power lines, the site is relatively level. The vegetation on portions of the site reflects a swampy character and cc nsists of cattails. Other portions of the site contain blackberries and grasses. 8. The area has been subject to periodic flooding in the past, resulting partially from st)rm water off of lands to the east of the site. While new culverts have been in stalled, the location would appear to channel additional water to the area. I-405, which serves as a type of impoundment berm, does not have sufficient systems to pass the water through to the south where ultimate drainage occurs. The new system does not provide additional southerly flow. 9. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of commercial uses, but does nc t mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the plan. 10. IF e subject site was annexed into the City in May of 1956 by Ordinance 1547. The site was reclassified from its original designation of GS-1 to H-1 (Heavy Industrial) by Ordinance 1741 in March of 1959. 11. Tt-e subject site is a small portion of a larger area which was Puget Power's Renton Sv/itch, an electrical transmission switching facility. Changes in technology and community growth have led to a gradual relocation of many of Renton Switch' s fu fictions. The smaller facility now proposed for the subject site will be all that is necessary at this location. Pi.get Power has sold the entire site, retaining a perpetual easement on just the portion now under consideration. The existing H-1 zoning which encompasses the en:ire former site, together with the adjacent Renton Village Shopping Center and of ler property east of Talbot Road South, requires extensive setbacks which the applicant indicated will jeopardize development of the subject site. The applicant has therefore requested that the site be reclassified to B-1, together with the necessary conditional use permit to allow an electrical substation. 12. TF e filling and grading of the site will require approximately 1,000 truck trips for th,; 12,000 yards of material. The grading is necessary to level and stabilize the site to permit placement of the electrical equipment. CONCLUSIONS: REZONE 1. The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest, will not impair the public health, safety, and welfare, and in addition, is in co npliance with at least one of the three criteria found in Section 4-3010, which provides in part that: a. The subject site has not been considered in a previous area-wide rezone or land use analysis; or b. The subject site is potentially designated for the new classification per the Comprehensive Plan; or c. There has been a material and substantial change in the circumstances in the area in which the subject site is located since the last rezoning of the property or area. The applicant has indicated that the requested reclassification of the subject site is warranted. 2. The subject site is located immediately south of the Renton Central Business Dktrict and adjacent to a major city shopping center. This location makes the site unsuitable for the development of heavy industrial uses. While less intense uses could locate on the site, the setback requirements and the potential for less de;,irable heavy industrial neighbors justifies the applicant's request. PUCE SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010 -84: CU-Ol 1-84; SP-012-84 March 8, 1984 Page 5 3. 1 he Comprehensive Plan has also been modified regarding this area for a relatively 1 )ng time and designates the area for business or commercial uses. The current H-1 zoning was imposed to reflect the existing nature of the site as the location of a transformer and major electrical switching functions. The zoning for the site no l )nger reflects the current technology and the public welfare would be better served ty downzoning the subject site as requested by the applicants. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 4. lhe proposed substation is not permitted outright in the requested B-l zone, but is permitted due to its quasi-public nature; that is, electrical power generation is a recessary and valuable public service. It may be permitted if it is compatible with the area, the existing uses, and generally does not impair or impact the public health, safety, and welfare. 1 he criteria enumerated in Section 4-748(C) requires conformance to the C omprehensive Plan, setback and bulk requirements of the site's zone, compatibility with the surrounding uses, analysis of traffic generation upon the circulation patterns, and sufficient parking. 5. The proposed use will be landscaped and screened from adjacent streets and surrounding property. The adjacent property is in the ownership of the operators of Renton Village, and expansion of the shopping center is envisioned. The proposed substation does not appear to have any adverse impacts on potential expansion of the shopping center. 6. The site will be unmanned, but subject to periodic maintenance. Parking and traffic demands of the site should therefore be minimal and parking will be provided within tie confines of the subject site. C riveway turning radius, structural strength, and other technical considerations must be approved by the Department of Public Works. The nature of the site, t lough, appears to require the double driveway. 7. The electrical substation will serve the public interest and is a necessary public s rvice. As such, as long as it does not unduly intrude on the neighboring properties aid the general public, it should be approved for the subject site. SPECIAL PERMIT 8. 1 he request for the special permit is necessitated by the applicant's need to prepare tie site for quick construction once all necessary approvals are in order. The preloading and filling will be required to provide a sufficient grade upon which to locate the electrical equipment. 9. The approximately 12,000 cubic yards of fill will require approximately 1,000 heavy vehicle trips to an area with large peak hour traffic demands. Under the circumstances, limitations on the hours of truck movements will be necessary to limit interference with the arterial traffic in the area. Truck traffic will, t ierefore, be limited to the weekdays to provide monitoring of the roads by city s.aff, and no operational access shall occur between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., or between the hours of 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. 10. T o assure that roads are kept free of debris, a cash bond of $2,000 shall be posted to allow the city to clear roads not cleaned by the applicant's contractor. 11. The site is swampy and the record reflects the fact that the general area has been s ibject to inundation in the past. Any fill on the site would therefore cause displacement of storm water to adjacent properties which cannot be permitted. The applicant's contention that insufficient retention on other sites has contributed to t'le problem cannot justify ignoring the potential exacerbation if the subject site is f.lied. Therefore, the applicant will have to provide compensating storage either on the subject site or by agreement with adjacent property owners on adjacent property. PUGE1 SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March 3, 1984 Page 6 The record indicated that the modifications to culverts which has occurred may not alleviate flooding, and precautions are therefore necessary in this area. 12. The review of the conditional use permit would appear to provide stricter criteria than the site plan review process required by the Grade & Fill Ordinance and should suffice. RECOMMENDATION AND DECISION: 1. Tie City Council should approve the rezone request. 2. T le Conditional Use Permit is approved. 3. The Special Permit for fill and grade is approved, subject to: a. Provision of a $2,000 cash bond to permit street cleanup of debris: b. The hours of operation will be limited to weekdays and shall not be permitted between 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m, and from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.; c. The applicant shall provide equivalent storm water detention on the site or adjacent property to that displaced by fill, and development of the subject site. ORDERED THIS 8th day of March, 1984.

I have also enclosed a copy of Bob Bergstrom's testimony regarding this matter. The issue is whether or not Puget Power should be required to provide compensating storag:.1 equivalent to that lost by filling on the subject site. Simila. provisions have been imposed upon other parties in the general vicinity both north and south of I-405. The information submitted apears to show that storm water from east of the site is re-routed around the site. Such re-routing would not appear to have any affect upon storm waters originating from rainfall on the site. The track record for the new system is not yet established and the area has been flooded in the past. The subject site presumably adds some incremental share of storm water to the area. As was stated by Mr. Padvorac, if upstream property owners had provided simila• compensating storage, this area would not necessarily have been subject to flooding. The subject site appears to stand in the same situation, that is, should it provide compensating storage to alleviate any potential problem downstream even if downstream is its next immediate neighbor? Please provide your respective positions regarding this matter as soon as possible. Depending on the nature of the responses the hearing may have to be re-opened. Thank you. PUGET POWER March 22, 1984 SUBS-17/84-CAUS Mr . Fred J. KaufmanRECEIVEDHearingExaminer City of Renton 200 Mill Avenue South MAR 22 1984 Renton, WA 98055 CITY OF RNEARINGEX,gMN ERON Subj?ct: Reconsideration of Decision 3 .c. as ordered on March 8 , 1984 Proposed Grady Substation Application # SP-012-84 Dear Mr. Kaufman: ACTION It is our opinion that the subject decision is inappropriate and that there are errors in the facts and judgement that led to the require- ment that reads as follows: 3 .c . "The applicant shall provide equivalent storm water detention on the site or adjacent property to that displaced by fill, and development of the subject site. INTRODUCTION Puget Power sold its interest in the property underlying the Renton Switching Station to Renton Village Company and retained a .83 acre easement adjacent to Talbot Road South for a distribution substation. An application for a Special Permit for filling the substation site was heard by you on February 28 , 1984 . In your Report and Recommendation ordered on March 8 , 1984 , you required that Puget provide compensating storage for any storm drainage flood storage disp] aced by fill. This requirement concerns us since, at the hearing, we stated that filling our site will not displace any storage or cEuse adjacent properties any concern. To document the latter, we have attached , as Exhibit "A" , a letter from the Renton Village Company which indicates that they , the adjacent property owners , are comfcrtable with no compensating storage being provided in conjunction with our project. Furthermore, representatives from Puget Power and Renton Village met with the City of Renton Public Works Director, Mr. Dick Houghton, during the afternoon of Tuesday , March 20, 1984 to discuss the subject requirement. Discussed at that meeting were the drainage impacts of the proposed substation development on the existing project site AM-6026 Puget Sound Power&Light Company Puget Power Building Bellevue,Washington 98009 (206)454-6363 Mr. Fred J. Kaufmai March 22 , 1984 Page 2 conditions and Puget' s belief that the compensating storage requirement for fill placement was unnecessary. Following this discussion, Mr. Houghton stated that he understood our concern about providing compensating storage and agreed that it would be prudent for us to request a reconsideration. He also indicated that he would try to inform you of his opinion regarding the requirement of compensating storage for fill placement. Therefore, following are discussions of sections of the record for the purpose of clarifying the facts and correcting the conclusions. More complete information is being provided to clarify what was presented at the hearing since it appears that some erroneous conclusions occurred by considering less than complete information. RECONSIDERATION I. Staff Report, Exhibit "B" Comment #1 . Section D.3 . Vegetation The subject site is covered with grasses and brambles, and a portion of the property is swamply and covered with cattails . " Dead cattails and swampy condition arepresent on the site only in an area approximately 20' x 10' . Comment #2 Final Declaration of Non-Significance Please recall that no concern was indicated regarding the displacement of storm drainage flood storage. II . Hearing Examiner' s Report and Recommendation, Exhibit "C" Comment #3. Page 1 , Highlighted Section A: The site is currently undeveloped, and will be filled and graded." Please note that actually 66% of the site is presently developed and 91% of the site already has some fill material placed on it, see Exhibit "D" . Comment #4. Page 3 , Highlighted Section B: The Examiner noted the report made mention that the site does contain water; " Section #D.5 . of the Staff Report states that no water was observed on the site. Comment #5. Page 3 , Highlighted Section C: Mr. Padvorac aknowledged there has been a definite flooding problem in that area, but believes it has been largely eliminated by the placement in 1982 of a 6 ' diameter storm drainage pipe." AM-6026 Mr. Fred J . Kaufma March 22 , 1984 Page 3 Comment #5 . Page 3 , Highlighted Section C: ( Continued) Since we claim that construction of the said pipe has largely eliminated the previous flooding problem, a discussion of the scope of that construction would seem to be helpful . As an interceptor line, the pipe receives water from several channels and moves transports the storm water past the previous channels and subject site. Connected directly to the Talbot Road culvert is a 5' diameter culvert that goes south to South Renton Village Drive. From this point, a 6 ' diameter culvert goes west over 700 ' , connecting to the existing 4' diameter system at that point. Please note how the 6' pipe serves to bypass the previous drainage channels and marsh, see Exhibit "E" . Being sized larger than necessary , the 6 ' pipe also serves as storm drainage flood storage. Comment #6 . Page 3 , Highlighted Section D: Mr. Bergstrom noted this area is a part of the Rolling Hills drainage basin and is subject to intermittent flooding; " . More correctly , Mr. Bergstrom should have indicated that the area has been subject to flooding in the past . Since the 6 ' interceptor pipe now moves water past the site , there is no evidence of the site flooding since the construction of said pipe. A clarification between "site" and "area" may be helpful . The term "area" probably defines any property around the Renton Village Shopping Center area that has had any ponding or flooding . The term "site" specifically defines an area only 200' wide and about 180 ' deep. It is not necessarily correct to relate area and site by stating that, " If the area floods , THEN the site floods," since the site has an interceptor transporting water past it. Comnent #7. Page 4 , Highlighted Section E: The vegetation on portions of the site reflects a swampy character and consists of cattails. " Please note comment #1 and #3 . Said Section # 5 on page 4 is an overstatement since cattails are located in an area about 10' by 20' , which is only about .5% of the site. AM-6026 Mr. Fred J. Kaufma March 22 , 1984 Page 4 Comment #8 . Page 4 , Highlighted Section F: While new culverts have been installed, the location would appear to channel additional water to the area. " Please note comment #5 and Exhibit "E" . No additional water is being channelled to the area by the new culverts since the culverts only intercept existing channels and transport all the waters in a single large pipe away from the site. No new channels for or barriers to storm drainage were created by installing said culverts. Comment #9. Page 4 , Highlighted Section G: The new system does not provide additional southerly flow . " As Mr. Bergstrom indicated the Renton Village area is located toward the lower end of the Rolling Hills drainage basin. Storm drainage must be managed differently within the lower end of a basin than within the upper end. Ideally, detention occurs within the upper end so that run-off does not increase and channel capacities are not exceeded, otherwise flooding occurs . There is a time lag from when the rain falls within the upper end and when that water passes through the lower end of the basin raising the water level within the main storm drainage channels. Ideally, to avoid flooding , water falling within the lower area will have entered and left the main storm drainage channel before water from the upper area enters the main channel. Previously , the main channel had many flow obstructions, including vegetation, erosion deposits and topography, resulting in storm water bottlenecking in the lower area. Construction of the 6 ' storm drainage pipe has eliminated these obstructions in the area so that storm drainage from the lower basin can leave the area before the upper basin storm drainage reaches the area. Your report states that I-405 does not have sufficient systems to pass water through. Specifically, there is a restriction to capacity ( volume/time ) within the I-405 storm drainage system. While construction of the 6 ' storm drain pipe does not increase the southerly flow capacity, potential for flooding has been greatly reduced by distribuiting the flow over a longer period of time. Specifically, the storm drainage within the lower basin will leave the area sooner than before, providing more room for when the storm drainage from within the upper basin reaches the area. AM-6026 I Mr. Fred J. KaufmaL March 22 , 1984 Page 5 Comment #10. Page 5 , Highlighted Section H : The site is swampy and the record reflects the fact that the general area has been subject to inundation in the past. Any fill on the site would therefore cause displacement of storm water to adjacent properties which cannot be permitted . " Please note Comments numbers 3 , 5 , 6 and 7 . A small portion of the site, about .5% , has been swampy. Therefore, it is incorrect to state that , "Any fill on the site. . ." would displace storm water. Also, the fact that the area has flooded in the past has very little bearing on the site, since the recently constructed 6 ' storm drainage pipe, in a practical sense, almost isolates the site from the area regarding storm drainage flooding. Therefore, its is inaccurate to make a sweeping generalization that "Any fill on the site would therefore cause displacement of storm water. . . " Comment #11 . Page 5 & 6 , Highlighted Section #I : Therefore, the applicant will have to provide compensating storage either on the subject site or by agreement with adjacent property owners on adjacent property. The record indicated that the modifications to culverts which has occurred may not alleviate flooding , and precautions are therefore necessary. " In our opinion, the Conclusion quoted directly above was based on unclear and incorrect information. An attempt has been made to clarify and correct the record since , in our opinion, the record did not indicate that you had a detailed awareness and/or understanding of the differences between site and area conditions, the scope of the 6 ' storm drainage pipe and storm drainage principles regarding flows in the upper and lower basin areas. In our opinion, the Conclusion #11 on page 5 and 6 was based on unclear and incorrect information. We there- fore request that Decision #3 .c. on page 6 be reconsidered , be found to be unnecessary and be eliminated. AM-6026 Mr. Fred J. Kaufma.. March 22 , 1984 Page 6 CONCLUSION Having clarified the record and corrected the conclusions, there are no longer sufficient reasons for imposing Decision #3 .c. Therefore we request that Decision #3 .c be reconsidered, be found to be unnecessary and be deleted. Please feel free to direct any questions regarding this project to Andy Padvorac at 454-6363, extension #5177 . thank you for your consideration.

Kaufman City of Renton Hearing Examiner 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, WA 98055 Re : File No . SP-012-84 Proposed Grady Substation for Puget Power Dear Sir: As you know, Renton Village Company is the property owner adjacent to and downstream of the proposed Puget Power Sub- station project. We wish you to know that we are firmly convinced that the placement of fill for the Puget Substation will not displace any required storm drainage flood storage volume, because the installation of 60 inch and 72 inch storm drains made by us around the periphery of the site, and drainage improvements made by the City of Renton downstream of Renton Village Shopping Center has essentially eliminated the need for storm drainage flood storage on and in the vicinity of the Puget Substation project and the balance of our property. Consequently, we believe Puget should be permitted to drain directly into our 60 inch storm sewer without providing on-site storm detention and without providing compensating storage for any fill placement.

PUGET POWER HEARING BOB BERGSTROM: The area is pretty much upstream of the first crossing at Rainier Avenue/405 Interchange and is subject to intermittent flooding; that whole area in there of the shopping center and Puget Power facilities have kind of a history of being low areas, filling with water, and draining out. When the shopping center was built, it is my understanding, that parking lots were depressed relative to the buildings to provide flood storage area so that the buildings wouldn't flood during some sort of storm, which is in excess of 10—year storm drainage. The area is not in a flood control zone or any kind of a special flood insurance zone, but it has been an area that the City of Rentcn Department of Public Works has required a higher level of storm detertion — 5/25 year release rate. We'vc tried to work with the Department of Transportation to upgrade their cloverleaf storm drainage improvements under 405 in conjunction with this HOB work that' s supposed to go out to bid as soon as Tip O'Neal frees up the gas tax funds . State has pretty much insisted they don't feel like that' s their new business; they don't want to upgrade the storm drainage system; so while they are providing storm detention on the widening of the lanes, they are not upgrading their 48" drain system. What we've done in areas similar to this is if people do fill low areas, we have suggested that they provide compensating flood storage in another place and :so for some interim period, perhaps some low areas are displaced, perhaps we can get an equivalent volume dug out in another spot to provide essentially the same storage and not aggravate any kind of minor drainage problems that are in the area. Ultimately, though, the City of Renton Department of Public Works wants to build a 60" or 72" storm drainage conduit east and west along the north side of 405, south of Grady Way, roughly on SW 12th Street, which will run from Springbrook Creek a little bit west of the Cummings Diesel Plana;, west to east, in this case uphill, to go back east to the shopping centF'r and drain Renton Village Shopping Center and the areas to the east; run all that stuff through approved conduit. The drainage system the State has and the Valley stuff is adequate if you could upgrade the freeway length, but it just doesn't look like it' s going to happen.

SHINPOCH MEMORANDUM MAYOR April 2, 1984 TO: Fred J. Kaufman Land Use Hearing Examiner FROM: David R. Clemens Policy Development Director SUBJECT: Request for Reconsideration: Puget Power The Policy Development Department has reviewed your memorandum of March 28th regarding the request for reconsideradtion for Puget Power related to SP-012-84. As a result of reviewing these documents, the Policy Development Department believes that the technical issues regarding storm water runoff must be resolved by the Public Works Department, and their recommendation should be given serious consideration. Although we agree generally with the concept which the Examiner utilized in requiring comp(nsating storage, a more definitive analysis of the problem must be made by the Enginm:ering professionals.

S. and their subsequent appeal dealing with the equivalent storage of storm water. We are not able to measure the equivalent amount of storage; there- fore we feel it is inappropriate to require it on this project. Since the site is to be covered with rock and hardly any impervious surface will exist it would also follow that retention would be minute. If the neighbor, Puget Western, is willing to accept the runoff then we probably would not require detention. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Bob Bergstrom. RCH:pmp cc: B. Bergstrom March 22, 1984 SUBS-17/84-CADS Mr. Fred J. Kaufman Hearing Examiner City of Renton 200 gill Avenue South Renton, t!A 98055 Subject: Reconsideration of Decision 3 .c. as ordered on March 8 , 1984 Proposed Grady Substation Application # SP-012-84 Dear rt.r. Kaufmar : ACTION TT-TT-our opinion that the subject decision is inappropriate and that there are errors in the facts and judgement that led to the require- ment that reads as follows: 3.c. "The applicant shall provide equivalent storm water detention on the site or adjacent property to that displaced by fill, and development of the subject site. INTROflUCTION Puget Power sold its interest in the property underlying the Renton Switching Station to Renton Village Company and retained a .83 acre easement adjacent to Talbot Road South for a distribution substation. An application for a Special Permit for filling the substation site was heard by you on February 28 , 1984. In your Report and Recommendation ordered on March 8 , 1984, you required that Puget provide compensating storage for any storm drainage flood storage displaced by fill. This requirement concerns us since, at the hearing, we stated that filling our site will not displace any storage or cause adjacent properties any concern. To document the latter, we have attached, as Exhibit "A" , a letter from the Renton Village Comiany which indicates that they , the adjacent property owners, are comfortable with no compensating storage being provided in conjunction with our project. Furthermore, representatives from Puget Power and Renton Village met with the City of Renton Public Works Director, Mr. Dick Houghton, during the afternoon of Tuesday , March 20, 1984 to discuss the subject requirement. Discussed at that meeting were the drainage impacts of the proposed substation development on the existing project site AM-6026 r9arc;i 22 , 1934 Page 2 cond:_tions and Puget's belief that the compensating storage requirement for fill placement was unnecessary. Following this discussion, Mr. Houghton stated that he understood our concern about providing compensating storage and agreed that it would be prudent for us to request a reconsideration. He also indicated that he would try to inform you of his opinion regarding the requirement of compensating storage for fill placement. Therefore, following are discussions of sections of the record for the purpose of clarifying the facts and correcting the conclusions. More complete information is being provided to clarify what was presented at the hearing since it appears that some erroneous conclusions occurred by considering less than complete information. RECONSIDERATION I. Staff Report, Exhibit "B" Comment #1. Section D.3 . Vegetation The subject site is covered with grasses and brambles, and a portion of the property is swamply and covered with cattails ." Dead cattails and swampy condition arepresent on the site only in an area approximately 20' x 10' . Comment #2 Final Declaration of Non-Significance Please recall that no concern was indicated regarding the displacement of storm drainage flood storage. II . Hearing Examiner' s Report and Recommendation, Exhibit "C" Comment #3. Page 1 , Highlighted Section A: The site is currently undeveloped, and will he filled and graded ." Please note that actually 66% of the site is presently developed and 91% of the site already has some fill material placed on it, see Exhibit "D" . Comment #4. Page 3 , Highlighted Section H: The Examiner noted the report made mention that the site does contain water;" Section #D.5 . of the Staff Report states that no water was observed on the site. Comment #5. Page 3 , Highlighted Section C: Mr. Padvorac aknowledged there has been a definite flooding problem in that area, but believes it has been largely eliminated by the placement in 1982 of a 6 ' diameter storm drainage pipe." AM-6026 March 22, 1984 Page 3 Comment #5. Page 3, Highlighted Section C: (Continued) Since we claim that construction of the said pipe has largely eliminated the previous flooding problem, a discussion of the scope of that construction would seem to be helpful . As an interceptor line, the pipe receives water from several channels and moves transports the storm water past the previous channels and subject site. Connected directly to the Talbot Road culvert is a 5' diameter culvert that goes south to South Renton Village Drive. From this point, a 6' diameter culvert goes west over 700' , connecting to the existing 4' diameter system at that point. Please note how the 6' pipe serves to bypass the previous drainage channels and marsh, see Exhibit "F.," . Being sized larger than necessary , the 6' pipe also serves as storm drainage flood storage. Comment #6. Page 3, Highlighted Section D: Mr. Bergstrom noted this area is a part of the Rolling Hills drainage basin and is subject to intermittent flooding; " . More correctly , Mr. Bergstrom should have indicated that the area has been subject to flooding in the past. Since the 6' interceptor pipe now moves water past the site, there is no evidence of the site flooding since the construction of said pipe. A clarification between "site" and "area" may he helpful. The term "area" probably defines any property around the Renton Village Shopping Center area that has had any ponding or flooding. The term "site" specifically defines an area only 200' wide and about 180' deep. It is not necessarily correct to relate area and site by stating that, "If the area floods , THEN the site floods," since the site has an interceptor transporting water past it. Comment #7. Page 4, Highlighted Section F: The vegetation on portions of the site reflects a swampy character and consists of cattails." Please note comment #1 and #3 . Said Section #5 on page 4 is an overstatement since cattails are located in an area about 10' by 20' , which is only about .5% of the site. AM-602E, Ilarcn 22 , 1984 Page 4 Comment #8. Page 4 , Highlighted Section F: while new culverts have been installed, the location would appear to channel additional water to the area." Please note comment #5 and Exhibit "E" . No additional water is being channelled to the area by the new culverts since the culverts only intercept existing channels and transport all the waters in a single large pipe away from the site. No new channels for or barriers to storm drainage were created by installing said culverts. Comment #9. Page 4 , Highlighted Section G: The new system does not provide additional southerly flow." As Mr. Hergstrom indicated the Renton Village area is located toward the lower end of the Rolling Hills drainage basin. Storm drainage must be managed differently within the lower end of a basin than within the upper end. Ideally, detention occurs within the upper end so that run-off does not increase and channel capacities are not exceeded, otherwise flooding occurs. There is a time lag from when the rain falls within the upper end and when that water passes through the lower end of the basin raising the water level within the main storm drainage channels. Ideally, to avoid flooding , water falling within the lower area will have entered and left the main storm drainage channel before water from the upper area enters the main channel. Previously, the main channel had many flow obstructions, including vegetation, erosion deposits and topography, resulting in storm water bottlenecking in the lower area. Construction of the 6' storm drainage pipe has eliminated these obstructions in the area so that storm drainage from the lower basin can leave the area before the upper basin storm drainage reaches the area. Your report states that I-405 does not have sufficient systems to pass water through. Specifically, there is a restriction to capacity (volume/time) within the I-405 storm drainage system. While construction of the 6' storm drain pipe does not increase the southerly flow capacity, potential for flooding has been greatly reduced by distribuiting the flow over a longer period of time. Specifically, the storm drainage within the lower basin will leave the area sooner than before, providing more room for when the storm drainage from within the upper basin reaches the area. A`1-6026 r•9r. tree J . xaurman Marcy 22 , 1984 Page 5 Comment #10. Page 5, Highlighted Section H: The site is swampy and the record reflects the fact that the general area has been subject to inundation in the past. Any fill on the site would therefore cause displacement of storm water to adjacent properties which cannot he permitted." Please note Comments numbers 3 , 5 , 6 and 7. A small portion of the site, about .5% , has been swampy. Therefore, it is incorrect to state that, "Any fill on the site. . ." would displace storm water. Also, the fact that the area has flooded in the past has very little bearing on the site, since the recently constructed 6 ' storm drainage pipe, in a practical sense, almost isolates the site from the area regarding storm drainage flooding. Therefore, its is inaccurate to make a sweeping generalization that "Any fill on the site would therefore cause displacement of storm water. . ." Comment #11. Page 5 & 6 , Highlighted Section #I : Therefore, the applicant will have to provide compensating storage either on the subject site or by agreement with adjacent property owners on adjacent property. The record indicated that the modifications to culverts which has occurred may not alleviate flooding, and precautions are therefore necessary." In our opinion, the Conclusion quoted directly above was based on unclear and incorrect information. An attempt has been made to clarify and correct the record since, in our opinion, the record did not indicate that you had a detailed awareness and/or understanding of the differences between site and area conditions, the scope of the 6 ' storm drainage pipe and storm drainage principles regarding flows in the upper and lower basin areas. In our opinion, the Conclusion #11 on page 5 and 6 was based on unclear and incorrect information. We there- fore request that Decision #3 .c. on page 6 be reconsidered, be found to be unnecessary and be eliminated. AM-602 6 inr. r reu u . xau=ma i Marcr 22 , 1984 page 6 CONCLUSION Having clarified the record and corrected the conclusions, there are no longer sufficient reasons for imposing Decision #3 .c. Therefore we request that Decision #3 .c be reconsidered, he found to he unnecessary and be deleted. PleaE;e feel free to direct any questions regarding this project to Andy Padvorac at 454-6363, extension 45177 . thank you for your consideration. ORIG;NAL SIGNETBYGERALDC.

APPLICANT: PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY FILE NO. R-010-84; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 LOCATION: Located on the west side of Talbot Road South approximately 500 feet south of South Grady Way. SUMMAF Y OF REQUEST:Applicant seeks approval to: 1) rezone approximately 0.84 of an acre of property from H-1 to B-1; 2) for a conditional use permit to construct an electrical distribution substation on the subject property; and 3) for a special permit to allow 12,010 cubic yards of preload material and structural fill on the site. SUMMAFY OF ACTION: Building and Zoning Department Recommendation: Approval of rezone. Approval of conditional use, subject to approval of rezone. Approval of special permit subject to conditions. Hearing Examiner Recommendation/Decision: Recommend approval of rezone; approve of conditional use permit; approve of special permit, subject to conditions. BUILDING & ZONING The Building & Zoning Department Report was DEPARTMENT REPORT: received by the Examiner on February 21, 1984. PUBLIC -TEARING: After reviewing the Building and Zoning Department Report, examining available information on file with the application and field checking the property and surrounding area, the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: The hearing was opened on February 28, 1984, at 9:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the Renton Municipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. The folic wing exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit #1: Yellow file containing the application, staff report, and other documents pertaining to posting and publication. Exhibit #2: Site/Landscaping Plan for the proposal. The Exa niner noted the applicant should be aware that the rezone will be heard also by the City Coy ncil and that the conditional use and the special permit applications will be considered separate.y from the rezone request. Roger B;aylock, Zoning Administrator, presented the staff report. He indicated the applicant is seeking ipproval to rezone 0.84 of an acre of property from H-1 to B-1; for a conditional use permit to allow construction of an electrical distribution station; and for a special permit to allow 12 010 cubic yards of preload material and structural fill on the site. The applicant is not the prop arty owner; the owner is Renton Village, and the applicant has been granted a perpetual easement for the subject site. Mr. Blay lock continued by stating that the size of the proposed substation has been reduced by approximately 90% over the existing structure due to the many new types of equipment that can be utilized. This proposal would be an extension of the Renton Village Shopping Center area, with Renton Village eventually expanding to this area. Further, Mr. Blaylock noted Renton Village has requested their property be rezoned to B-1. The site is currently undevelcped, and will be filled and graded. Upon completion of this project, Puget Power will remove I he existing switchyard. PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-8z ; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March 8, 1984 Page 2 The Utilities Division of the City has stated that a major 24" water main must be extended from Sow.h Renton Village Place up to the 6" line that goes through the subject site. This is a part of tne change of the water service to that entire area. The ERC has issued a Declaration of Non-Significance on the subject property. The proposal does meet the criteria outlined in the code for rezone, conditional use, and special permit requirements; the site presently is not landscaped and applicant has proposed use of a chain lin< fence with cedar slats, as well as heavy landscaping. The height of the existing structure will be reduced and will therefore have a pleasing effect on the area. The Examiner inquired if water and sewer were necessary for the site. Mr.Blaylock noted the neither v ater nor sewer would be a necessity for the site. Mr. Blaylock stated the special permit is being requested to fast-track the project to have the facility en line by this fall; the rezone process could take up to 2 months and the applicant needs thz t time to begin construction to meet their schedule. The Examiner noted the area has been subject to ponding and flooding in the past and asked for comment on this from staff. Mr. Blay ock stated the area does drain to the southwest and into the P-1 Channel, and the parking 1)t of the Renton Village has become a detention storage area; there are two new 60" drain linos which have been installed on Puget Power property on the north side and this has alleviated some of that problem. He deferred this matter to Mr. Bergstrom for comment later in the hearing. Mr. Blaylock then noted staff recommends the Examiner recommend approval to the City Council of the rezone request (R-010-84); that the Examiner approve CU-011-84, subject to the condition that the rezone be approved; and that the special permit for fill and grade SP-012-34) be approved, subject to the following conditions: 1. Lin itation of operational hours to prohibit truck traffic between 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., and from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. 2. Posting of a $2,000 cash bond to assure cleaning of public rights-of-way as determined by the Public Works Department or the Police Department. The Examiner inquired where access to the proposal would be. Mr. Blaylock indicated it would be from Talbot Road. The Examiner asked if the applicant was aware this proposal would require site approval prior to constructing the facility. Mr. Blaylock stated he believed the conditional use permit a lowed that and suggested it so be considered by the Examiner. The Examiner noted he would consider it in his decision process. The Examiner then called on the applicant or representative. Responding was: Andy Padvorac Puget Power Building Bellevue, WA 98009 Mr. Pad\orac stated he was a representative for Puget Power and Renton Village as property owner. He noted the site would be much cleaner aesthetically than the existing substatio I; he emphasized the time constraint involved here and noted this must be completed by summer, 1984 to avoid an extremely heavy additional cost to the applicant. Mr. Padvorac referred to a comment from the Traffic Engineering Division in the staff report w th reference to driveway access being widened to 30'. He stated this is not a traffic gijneration site and that there would only be one small pickup using the access for weekly rr aintenance checkups; that it would be utilized very seldom, but the configuration of the oc uipment on site would not allow a vehicle to make a turnaround on the property. He askec that the driveway width be maintained at 20', and suggested that perhaps the radius at the curb be altered to allow wider turning from Talbot, but still maintain the width of :he driveway to 20'. Bob Bergstrom of the Public Works Department noted the staff is concerned about moving lowboys with equipment in and out of there and damaging sidewalks in doing so. Mr. Bergstrom agreed with Mr. Padvorac's suggestion to widen the curb radius. PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March 3, 1984 Page 3 Mr. Padvorac continued by stating he felt the extension of the 24" water main on Talbot was no . logical for the substation since it will not be needed; they will only be utilizing water tor irrigation of the landscaping. He requested this requirement be eliminated or restrict the use of the site in the B-1 to electrical distribution site, with any other use requirir g site plan approval. 0: Mr. PaJvorac again addressed the storm drainage problem. The Examiner noted the report made mention that the site does contain water; the patrons of the shopping center have fo mnd their automobiles to be sitting in a lake of water during a heavy rain storm. 0 Mr. Padvorac acknowledged there has been a definite flooding problem in that area, but believer it has been largely eliminated by the placement in 1982 of a 6' diameter storm drainage pipe. The Examiner called on Mr. Bergstrom to address the concerns of the Public Works Departr lent. 0 Mr. Bergstrom noted this area is a part of the Rolling Hills drainage basin and is subject to intermittent flooding; the area is not in a flood control zone, but the city has required higher storm detention improvements for the area. He further noted the Public Works Department ultimately wants to build a large storage culvert, to drain the Renton Village Shopping Center and all areas to the east. Mr. Pacivorac again stated he does not believe the track record of the area has been established since placement of the 6' culvert to divert some of the water from the area. The Exdminer stated he would take this matter under advisement when making his recommendation to the City Council. Mr. Pad 'orac requested this matter be looked at very carefully by the Examiner. The Examiner noted he was not certain if it was within his jurisdiction to address the 24" water main extension on Talbot Road. The Examiner then called for further testimony in support of the application. There was none. No one in opposition to the proposal was in attendance at the hearing. The hearing was closed at 9:55 a.m. The Examiner noted he would make his recommendation to the City Cot ncil within 14 days. FINDINC;S, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION: Having :.eviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINC S: 1. Thn applicant, Puget Sound Power and Light Company, filed a request for approval of a rezone, conditional use permit, and site plan approval for an approximately 0.84 acre site. 2. The application file containing the application, the State Environmental Policy Act SEPA) documentation, the Building & Zoning Department Report, and other pertinent documents, was entered into the record as Exhibit 411. 3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA, a Declaration of ion-Significance has been issued for the subject proposal by the Environmental Rey iew Committee (ERC), responsible official. 4. Pla is for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the impact of this development. 5. The subject proposal met with no opposition from the public. 6. The subject site is located on the west side of Talbot Road S., approximately 500 fee south of S. Grady Way, just east of the Renton Village Shopping Center. PUGET SDUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-81 ; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March 8, 1984 Page 4 7. With the exception of a slight depression under the power lines, the site is relatively GO lev a1. The vegetation on portions of the site reflects a swampy character and cor sists of cattails. Other portions of the site contain blackberries and grasses. 8. The area has been subject to periodic flooding in the past, resulting partially from storm water off of lands to the east of the site. While new culverts have been installed, the location would appear to channel additional water to the area. I-405, wh ch serves as a type of impoundment berm, does not have sufficient systems to pass the water through to the south where ultimate drainage occurs. The new system does not provide additional southerly flow. 9. Tho map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of commercial uses, but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the plan. 10. Tho subject site was annexed into the City in May of 1956 by Ordinance 1547. The site; was reclassified from its original designation of GS-1 to H-1 (Heavy Industrial) by Ordinance 1741 in March of 1959. 11. Th a subject site is a small portion of a larger area which was Puget Power's Renton Switch, an electrical transmission switching facility. Changes in technology and community growth have led to a gradual relocation of many of Renton Switch' s fur ctions. The smaller facility now proposed for the subject site will be all that is necessary at this location. Pu get Power has sold the entire site, retaining a perpetual easement on just the pc 'non now under consideration. The existing H-1 zoning which encompasses the en .ire former site, together with the adjacent Renton Village Shopping Center and other property east of Talbot Road South, requires extensive setbacks which the ap )licant indicated will jeopardize development of the subject site. The applicant ha ; therefore requested that the site be reclassified to B-1, together with the ne pessary conditional use permit to allow an electrical substation. 12. The filling and grading of the site will require approximately 1,000 truck trips for tho 12,000 yards of material. The grading is necessary to level and stabilize the site to permit placement of the electrical equipment. CONCL JSIONS: REZONE 1. The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest, will not impair the public health, safety, and welfare, and in addition, is in ccmpliance with at least one of the three criteria found in Section 4-3010, which pr pvides in part that: a. The subject site has not been considered in a previous area-wide rezone or land use analysis; or b. The subject site is potentially designated for the new classification per the Comprehensive Plan; or c. There has been a material and substantial change in the circumstances in the area in which the subject site is located since the last rezoning of the property or area. The applicant has indicated that the requested reclassification of the subject site is w 3rranted. 2. The subject site is located immediately south of the Renton Central Business D.strict and adjacent to a major city shopping center. This location makes the site unsuitable for the development of heavy industrial uses. While less intense uses cnuld locate on the site, the setback requirements and the potential for less desirable heavy industrial neighbors justifies the applicant's request. 1 PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84 CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March 8, 984 Page 5 3. The Comprehensive Plan has also been modified regarding this area for a relatively lonc time and designates the area for business or commercial uses. The current H-1 zoning was imposed to reflect the existing nature of the site as the location of a trarsformer and major electrical switching functions. The zoning for the site no loncer reflects the current technology and the public welfare would be better served by c ownzoning the subject site as requested by the applicants. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 4. The proposed substation is not permitted outright in the requested B-I zone, but is permitted due to its quasi-public nature; that is, electrical power generation is a nec;ssary and valuable public service. It may be permitted if it is compatible with the area, the existing uses, and generally does not impair or impact the public hea th, safety, and welfare. The criteria enumerated in Section 4-748(C) requires conformance to the Conprehensive Plan, setback and bulk requirements of the site's zone, compatibility with' the surrounding uses, analysis of traffic generation upon the circulation pat .erns, and sufficient parking. 5. The proposed use will be landscaped and screened from adjacent streets and sun ounding property. The adjacent property is in the ownership of the operators of Rer ton Village, and expansion of the shopping center is envisioned. The proposed substation does not appear to have any adverse impacts on potential expansion of the shopping center. 6. The site will be unmanned, but subject to periodic maintenance. Parking and traffic demands of the site should therefore be minimal and parking will be provided within the confines of the subject site. Dri eway turning radius, structural strength, and other technical considerations must be approved by the Department of Public Works. The nature of the site, though, appears to require the double driveway. 7. The electrical substation will serve the public interest and is a necessary public ser lice. As such, as long as it does not unduly intrude on the neighboring properties anc the general public, it should be approved for the subject site. SPECIAL PERMIT 8. ThE. request for the special permit is necessitated by the applicant's need to prepare the site for quick construction once all necessary approvals are in order. The pre loading and filling will be required to provide a sufficient grade upon which to hoc ate the electrical equipment. 9. The approximately 12,000 cubic yards of fill will require approximately 1,000 heavy vet- icle trips to an area with large peak hour traffic demands. Under the cir:umstances, limitations on the hours of truck movements will be necessary to limit interference with the arterial traffic in the area. Truck traffic will, therefore, be limited to the weekdays to provide monitoring of the roads by city staff, and no operational access shall occur between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.nm., or between the hours of 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. 10. To assure that roads are kept free of debris, a cash bond of $2,000 shall be posted to allow the city to clear roads not cleaned by the applicant's contractor. 11. Thi3 site is swampy and the record reflects the fact that the general area has been subject to inundation in the past. Any fill on the site would therefore cause displacement of storm water to adjacent properties which cannot be permitted. The applicant's contention that insufficient retention on other sites has contributed to the problem cannot justify ignoring the potential exacerbation if the subject site is filled. 40 Therefore, the applicant will have to provide compensating storage either on the subject site or by agreement with adjacent property owners on adjacent property. PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010- 34; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March E , 1984 Page 6 1110 The record indicated that the modifications to culverts which has occurred may not alleviate flooding, and precautions are therefore necessary in this area. 12. T1 e review of the conditional use permit would appear to provide stricter criteria th 3n the site plan review process required by the Grade & Fill Ordinance and should suffice. RECOMMENDATION AND DECISION: 1. The City Council should approve the rezone request. 2. The Conditional Use Permit is approved. 3. The Special Permit for fill and grade is approved, subject to: a. Provision of a $2,000 cash bond to permit street cleanup of debris; b. The hours of operation will be limited to weekdays and shall not be permitted between 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m, and from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.; c. The applicant shall provide equivalent storm water detention on the site or adjacent property to that displaced by fill, and development of the subject site. ORDERED THIS 8th day of March, 1984.

L. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS: 1.The applicant, Puget Sound Power and Light Company, is requesting approval of the following three applications: a. Downzoning of 0.84 acres of property from H-1. Heavy Industrial, to B-1, Business Use; b. A conditional use permit to construct an electrical distribution substation; and, c. A special permit to allow 12,010 cubic yards of preload material and structural fill. Approval of these land use requests will allow Puget Power to modernize its major power distribution facility servicing Renton. The first phase was to construct a new electrical distribution substation at the Shuffelton Plant. With the completion of this substation it will allow the removal of what is called the existing Renton Switch, which is the major electrical distribution facility located immediately to the west of the subject site. 2.The Environmental Review Committee has issued a declaration of non-significance without any conditions imposed on the decision on February 1, 1984. The appeal period expired on February 20, 1984. REZONE. 3.The Land Use Hearing Examiner must review four specific criteria under Section 4-3014(C) to determine that the circumstances surrounding the rezone request are adequate to recommend approval of the reclassification. The following evidence clearly demonstrates the rezone request is appropriate. a. That substantial evidence was presented demonstrating the subject reclassification appears not to have been specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning. The subject site was annexed into the City of Renton in May of 1956, at which time a GS-1, General Use zone designation was applied. In March of 1959, the subject site was rezoned to H-1 by Ordinance 1741. This is prior to the Comprehensive Plan adoption in 1965 and the last area-wide Comprehensive Plan analysis approved in March of 1983, for the Central Renton Area. PRELIMINARY REPORT TC iE HEARING EXAMINER PUGET SOUND POWER & LiuHT COMPANY R-010-84, CU-011-84, and SP-012-84 FEBRUARY 28, 1984 PAGE 4 b. That the property is potentially classified for the proposed zone being requested pursuant to the policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan and conditions have been met which would indicate the change is appropriate. The proposal is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan designation of Commercial Use for the site. The majority of the site has previously been used as a major electrical distribution facility for the entire City of Renton. New technology has resulted in the ability of the industry to reduce the total area used for electrical switching. The existing Renton Switch will ultimately be removed and redeveloped in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. c. That since the last previous land use analysis of the area zoning of the subject property, authorized public improvements, permitted private development or other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change. The general area has undergone major development activities concentrated towards commercial and office complexes. Renton Village Corporation has developed the property to the west into a major shopping center including hotels, theaters and offices. The construction of SR 515 has increased the importance of this section of Talbot Road and the intertie to the City's streets system. These developments along with the major shift in technology of electrical distribution has created the ability for a redesign of the existing facility. This consolidated design takes approximately 10% of the previously facility, thus freeing up more land for commercial development within the City. The redevelopment of the subject site will be the next step in the ultimate commercial goal of the Comprehensive Plan for this general area. Timeliness d. The final test to determine whether a rezone is appropriate is to address the question of timeliness. The subject property is actually a redevelopment of an existing facility. The site is dictated because of the location of overhead transmission lines and its accessibility to major streets for general servicing and emergency. The Renton Village Corporation has inquired about rezoning the remainder of the property, previously owned by Puget Power, to allow the expansion of the Renton Village Shopping Center. However, reconstruction of the electrical substation must happen before redevelopment of the area into commercial activities could be proposed. 4 The basic reasoning behind downzoning the subject property from H-I, Heavy Industrial, to a B-1, Business Use zone, if the requirements of setback imposed on the ultimate development of the project. The H-1 zone requires a minimum sixty (60) foot setback from any street right-of-way. Imposition of this setback would push the proposed substation back into that area anticipated for eventual commercial development. In addition, it does not seem appropriate to leave this parcel, when the adjoining properties will eventually be rezoned to B-1 to allow commercial development. CONDITIONAL USE 5.The conditional use permit then becomes appropriate in the B-1 zone for any public use activity under Section 4-748. The following is an analysis of those eleven criterial: PRELIMI\JARY REPORT Ti HE HEARING EXAMINER PUGET SOUND POWER & L__.HT COMPANY R-010-844, CU-011-84, and SP-012-84 FEBRUARY 28, 1984 PAGE 5 a. Comprehensive Plan: The proposed use shall be compatible with the general purpose, goals, objectives and standards of the Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and any other plan, program, map or ordinance of the City of Renton. The proposal generally complies with the Comprehensive Plan designation of commercial, and the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The design suggests a very sensitive treatment of buffering the subject site from potential commerical users and from the general public along Talbot Road South. The present facility does not have any landscaping surrounding it to buffer and to blend the facility into the community. b. Community Need: There shall be a community need for the proposed use at the proposed location. The subject site has been utilized as an electrical power distribution facility for many years. The need is clearly established and is limited because of the location of major power transmission lines on the site. Reduction in the overall size of the facility will actually reduce the detrimental overcrowding and intensity of the existing development on the area. c. Effect on Adjacent Properties: The proposed use at the proposed location shall not result in substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property. The proposal as presented will reduce the impact of electrical distribution facilities upon the immediate area. The landscaping as proposed will create buffers around the much smaller equipment used in today's technology. d. Compatibility: The proposed use shall be compatible with the residential scale and character of the neighborhood. The public utility can be a very compatible activity in a commercial area. Since the utility will be located first, the commercial activities in the future will have to be more carefully reviewed for compatibility to it instead of the utility to the commercial uses. e. Parking: Parking areas shall not be allowed in the front, side and rear yard setbacks except upon approval by the Hearing Examiner as provided in Section 4-708(B)(3)(a). Parking under the building structure should be encouraged. Lot coverage may be increased to as much as seventy-five percent (75%) of the lot coverage requirement of the zone in which the proposed use is located if all parking is provided underground or within the structure. The site plan does not specifically show any parking areas. Parking of service vehicles will be accomplished on the site,and access drives through the site are provided for maintenance and repair. No vehicles or employee should be on site unless in a service vehicles. f. Traffic: Traffic and circulation patterns of vehicles and pedestrians relating to the proposed use and surrounding area shall be reviewed for potential effects on, and to ensure safe movement in the surrounding area. The facility should not generate any additional traffic and, in fact, may reduce it based upon new equipment compared with the old style equipment presently in use. PRELIMINARY REPORT T -E HEARING EXAMINER PUGET S'JUND POWER & --IT COMPANY R-010-84, CU-011-84, and SP-012-84 FEBRUARY 28, 1984 PAGE 6 g. Noise, Glare: Potential noise, light and glare impacts shall be evaluated based on the location of the proposed use on the lot and the location of on-site parking areas, outdoor recreational areas and refuse storage areas. Potential noise, light and glare appear to be reduced because of the reduction of the scale of the operation and the inclusion of landscaping around the site. h. Landscaping: Landscaping shall be provided in all areas not occupied by buildings or paving. The Hearing Examiner may require additional landscaping to buffer adjacent properties from potentially adverse effects of the proposed use. The site plan shows a very extensive landscaping theme on all sides except for the access drives off of Talbot Road. The site must be heavily screened for any future development of the adjacent parcels in the commercial activities. If the site was in an area designated for residential activities, the screening requirements may have been even greater. i. Accessory Uses: Accessory uses to conditional uses such as day schools, auditoriums used for social and sport activities, health centers, convents, preschool facilities, convalescent homes and others of a similar nature shall be considered to be separate uses and shall be subject to the provisions of the use district in which they are located. This section does not specifically apply to the proposal. j. Conversion: No existing building or structure shall be converted to a conditional use unless such building or structure complies, or is brought into compliance, with the provisions of this Chapter. In this specific case, the provision does not generally comply because we are not dealing with a specific structure. However, the existing superstructure of the Renton electrical switch year will be completely removed after the new substation becomes operational. k. Public Improvements: The proposed use and location shall be adequately served by and not impose an undue burden on any public improvements, facilities, utilities and services. Approval of a conditional use permit may be conditioned upon the provision and/or guarantee by the applicant of necessary public improvements, facilities, utilities and/or services. No additional public improvements adjacent to the site are anticipated except for the extension of water and sewer mains as an eventual requirement of the redevelopment of the rest of the Renton switch yard. SPECIAL PERMIT FOR FILL AND GRADE 6,The applicant is also seeking a special permit to allow the placement of approximately 12,000 yards of structural fill to stabilize the site prior to actual issuance of the building permit. Stabilization is necessary, at this early time, because of the limited time schedule the applicant has in completing the project by the end of this year. This material would be utilized to stabilize the entire site and the top of the preload would be approximately thirty-three (33) feet in elevation. Approximately three (3) feet of this would be eventually taken off to provide the stabilized base for the substation. Special absorption pads for equipment and areas of broken concrete for site stability will be utilized. The end result will be that the site will be raised approximately five (5) feet in elevation. This will prevent inundation of the site during major floods. PRELIMINARY REPORT T( -1E HEARING EXAMINER PUGET S JUND POWER & LiuHT COMPANY R-010-8L, CU-O 11-84, and SP-012-84 FEBRUARY 28, 1984 PAGE 7 7.Most of the comments concern the actual construction of the facility and the potential of traffic conflicts with filling of the subject site. Policy Development Department estimates approximately 1.000 vehicles trips would be generated onto the subject site. Talbot Road is a major arterial that may present some access problems at certain times of the day. Thus, the filling operation should be specifically prevented during the hours of 6 to 9 in the morning and 3 to 6 in the evening. Standard signing and flagmen control could be required by the Public Works Department for access. In addition, some concern over the maintenance of the street should be considered and a small bond approximately $2,000 posted to assure the cleaning of the streets is necessary during the time of the preloading. The bond should be utilized at either the direction of the Police Department or the Public Works Department. SUMMARY 8.The three applications presented by Puget Sound Power and Light Company are designed to allow a maximization of the subject site and provide for as compability with the potential adjacent commercial uses. The rezone request will bring the property in to conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. This is probably the first downzone request that has been proposed by an individual property owner. Unfortunately, the conditional use is a procedural requirement of the property being rezoned to B-1. There is some question whether the use could be permitted outright in the H-1 and is still under debate between various staff members. However, the opportunity presents itself in that the public facility can now be reviewed under the eleven criteria for conditional uses. The applicant has shown though design and the use of modern technology on the subject site that it is a compatible neighbor and would be appropriate for this specific property. The special permit for fill and grade is requested solely out of the necessity to provide timely development of the site within this year's construction period. If the applicant waited until the site was rezoned and a building permit issued development could not occur until next year. Puget Power has even taken the position that they should submit the rezone application earlier than Renton Village Corporation solely as a result of the critical time period that the company is dealing with for construction.. The net effect to the City of Renton will be a reduction in land area that is presently being utilized for a public utility that pays no sales tax and a limited amount of property taxes. Redevelopment of the general area in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and still providing the public services and utilities that is necessary to allow the continued development of the city will provide the City with a more stable economic and tax base. M. CIEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION: E ased upon the above analysis, it is recommended that the Hearing Examiner recommend to the City Council approval of the rezone request, file R-010-84. I I addition, we recommend that the Hearing Examiner approve the conditional use permit request, file CU-011-84, subject to the condition that the rezone be pproved. he special permit for fill and grade, file SP-012-84, should be approved subject to the following conditions: 1.Limitation of operational hours to prohibit truck traffic between 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., and from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. 2.Posting of a $2,000 cash bond to assure cleaning of public rights-of-way as determined by the Public Works Department or the Police Department. 0312N FINAL DECLARATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE Application No(s): R-010-84, CU-011-84, SP-012-84 Environmer tal Checklist No.: ECF-010-84 Descriptior of Proposal: Application to rezone approximately 0.84 acre of property from H-1 to B-1 and application for conditional use permit to allow construction of an electrical distribution substation on said rezone property, and application for special permit to allow 12,010 cubic yards of preload material and structural fill on said site.

Kaufman, Hearing Examiner SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION REGARDING PUGET POWER: R-010-84, CU-011-84, SP-012-84 Enclosed find attached a request for reconsideration in the above entitled matter. I have aiso enclosed a copy of Bob Bergstrom's testimony regarding this matter. The issue is whether or not Puget Power should be required to provide compensating storage equivalent to that lost by filling on the subject site. Similar provisions have been imposed upon other parties in the general vicinity both north and sou:h of 1-405. The information submitted apears to show that storm water from east of the 'site is re-routed around the site. Such re-routing would not appear to have any affect upon storm waters originating from rainfall on the site. The track record for the new system is not yet established and the area has been flooded in the past. The subject site presumably adds some incremental share of storm water to the area. As was stated by Mr. Padvorac, if upstream property owners had provided similar compensating storage, this area would not necessarily have been subject to flooding. The subject site appears to stand in the same situation, that is, should it provide comper sating storage to alleviate any potential problem downstream even if downstream is its next immediate neighbor? Please provide your respective positions regarding this matter as soon as possible. Depenc ing on the nature of the responses the hearing may have to be re-opened. Thank you. 0 March 22, 1984 SUBS-17/84-CAUS Mr . Fred J. KaufmanRECEIVEDHearingExaminer City of Renton 200 Mill Avenue South MAR 22 1984 Renton, WA 98055 CITY OF MCONHEARINGExmNR- Subject: Reconsideration of Decision 3 .c. as ordered on March 8 , 1984 Proposed Grady Substation Application # SP-012-84 Dear Mr. Kaufman: ACTION It is our opinion that the subject decision is inappropriate and that there are errors in the facts and judgement that led to the require- ment that reads as follows: 3 .c. "The applicant shall provide equivalent storm water detention on the site or adjacent property to that displaced by fill, and development of the subject site. INTRODUCTION Puget Power sold its interest in the property underlying the Renton Switching Station to Renton Village Company and retained a .83 acre easement adjacent to Talbot Road South for a distribution substation. An application for a Special Permit for filling the substation site was heard by you on February 28 , 1984. In your Report and Recommendation ordered on March 8 , 1984, you required that Puget provide compensating storage for any storm drainage flood storage displaced by fill. This requirement concerns us since, at the hearing, we stated that filling our site will not displace any storage or cause adjacent properties any concern. To document the latter, we have attached, as Exhibit "A" , a letter from the Renton Village Company which indicates that they , the adjacent property owners, are comfortable with no compensating storage being provided in conjunction with our project. Furthermore, representatives from Puget Power and Renton Village met with the City of Renton Public Works Director, Mr. Dick Houghton, during the afternoon of Tuesday , March 20, 1984 to discuss the subject requirement. Discussed at that meeting were the drainage impacts of the proposed substation development on the existing project site AM-6026 Puget Sound Power&Light Company Puget Power Building Bellevue,Washington 98009 (206)454-6363 Mr. Fred J. Kaufman March 22 , 1984 Page 2 conditions and Puget' s belief that the compensating storage requirement for fill placement was unnecessary. Following this discussion, Mr. Houghton stated that he understood our concern about providing compensating storage and agreed that it would be prudent for us to request a reconsideration. He also indicated that he would try to inform you of his opinion regarding the requirement of compensating storage for fill placement. Therefore, following are discussions of sections of the record for the purpose of clarifying the facts and correcting the conclusions. More complete information is being provided to clarify what was presented at the hearing since it appears that some erroneous conclusions occurred by considering less than complete information. RECONSIDERATION I. Staff Report, Exhibit "B" Comment #1 . Section D.3 . Vegetation The subject site is covered with grasses and brambles, and a portion of the property is swamply and covered with cattails . " Dead cattails and swampy condition arepresent on the site only in an area approximately 20' x 10' . Comment #2 Final Declaration of Non-Significance Please recall that no concern was indicated regarding the displacement of storm drainage flood storage . II . Hearing Examiner' s Report and Recommendation, Exhibit "C" Comment #3. Page 1 , Highlighted Section A: The site is currently undeveloped, and will be filled and graded. " Please note that actually 66% of the site is presently developed and 91% of the site already has some fill material placed on it, see Exhibit "D" . Comment #4. Page 3 , Highlighted Section B: The Examiner noted the report made mention that the site does contain water;" Section #D.5 . of the Staff Report states that no water was observed on the site. Comment #5. Page 3 , Highlighted Section C: Mr. Padvorac aknowledged there has been a definite flooding problem in that area, but believes it has been largely eliminated by the placement in 1982 of a 6 ' diameter storm drainage pipe." AM-6026 Mr. Fred J. Kaufman March 22 , 1984 Page 3 Comment #5. Page 3 , Highlighted Section C: (Continued) Since we claim that construction of the said pipe has largely eliminated the previous flooding problem, a discussion of the scope of that construction would seem to be helpful . As an interceptor line, the pipe receives water from several channels and moves transports the storm water past the previous channels and subject site. Connected directly to the Talbot Road culvert is a 5' diameter culvert that goes south to South Renton Village Drive. From this point, a 6 ' diameter culvert goes west over 700' , connecting to the existing 4' diameter system at that point. Please note how the 6' pipe serves to bypass the previous drainage channels and marsh, see Exhibit "E" . Being sized larger than necessary , the 6' pipe also serves as storm drainage flood storage. Comment #6. Page 3 , Highlighted Section D: Mr. Bergstrom noted this area is a part of the Rolling Hills drainage basin and is subject to intermittent flooding; " . More correctly , Mr. Bergstrom should have indicated that the area has been subject to flooding in the past. Since the 6' interceptor pipe now moves water past the site, there is no evidence of the site flooding since the construction of said pipe. A clarification between "site" and "area" may be helpful. The term "area" probably defines any property around the Renton Village Shopping Center area that has had any ponding or flooding. The term "site" specifically defines an area only 200' wide and about 180' deep. It is not necessarily correct to relate area and site by stating that, "If the area floods , THEN the site floods," since the site has an interceptor transporting water past it. Comment #7. Page 4 , Highlighted Section E: The vegetation on portions of the site reflects a swampy character and consists of cattails. " Please note comment #1 and #3 . Said Section #5 on page 4 is an overstatement since cattails are located in an area about 10' by 20' , which is only about .5% of the site. AM-6026 Mr. Fred J. Kaufmar March 22 , 1984 Page 4 Comment #8 . Page 4 , Highlighted Section F: While new culverts have been installed, the location would appear to channel additional water to the area." Please note comment #5 and Exhibit "E" . No additional water is being channelled to the area by the new culverts since the culverts only intercept existing channels and transport all the waters in a single large pipe away from the site. No new channels for or barriers to storm drainage were created by installing said culverts. Comment #9. Page 4 , Highlighted Section G: The new system does not provide additional southerly flow." As Mr. Bergstrom indicated the Renton Village area is located toward the lower end of the Rolling Hills drainage basin. Storm drainage must be managed differently within the lower end of a basin than within the upper end. Ideally, detention occurs within the upper end so that run-off does not increase and channel capacities are not exceeded, otherwise flooding occurs. There is a time lag from when the rain falls within the upper end and when that water passes through the lower end of the basin raising the water level within the main storm drainage channels. Ideally, to avoid flooding , water falling within the lower area will have entered and left the main storm drainage channel before water from the upper area enters the main channel. Previously, the main channel had many flow obstructions, including vegetation, erosion deposits and topography, resulting in storm water bottlenecking in the lower area. Construction of the 6 ' storm drainage pipe has eliminated these obstructions in the area so that storm drainage from the lower basin can leave the area before the upper basin storm drainage reaches the area. Your report states that I-405 does not have sufficient systems to pass water through. Specifically, there is a restriction to capacity (volume/time) within the I-405 storm drainage system. While construction of the 6 ' storm drain pipe does not increase the southerly flow capacity, potential for flooding has been greatly reduced by distribuiting the flow over a longer period of time. Specifically, the storm drainage within the lower basin will leave the area sooner than before, providing more room for when the storm drainage from within the upper basin reaches the area. AM-6026 Mr. Fred J. Kaufman March 22 , 1984 Page 5 Comment #10. Page 5 , Highlighted Section H: The site is swampy and the record reflects the fact that the general area has been subject to inundation in the past. Any fill on the site would therefore cause displacement of storm water to adjacent properties which cannot be permitted." Please note Comments numbers 3 , 5 , 6 and 7. A small portion of the site, about .5% , has been swampy. Therefore, it is incorrect to state that, "Any fill on the site. . ." would displace storm water. Also, the fact that the area has flooded in the past has very little bearing on the site, since the recently constructed 6 ' storm drainage pipe, in a practical sense, almost isolates the site from the area regarding storm drainage flooding. Therefore, its is inaccurate to make a sweeping generalization that "Any fill on the site would therefore cause displacement of storm water. . ." Comment #11. Page 5 & 6 , Highlighted Section #I : Therefore, the applicant will have to provide compensating storage either on the subject site or by agreement with adjacent property owners on adjacent property. The record indicated that the modifications to culverts which has occurred may not alleviate flooding, and precautions are therefore necessary. " In our opinion, the Conclusion quoted directly above was based on unclear and incorrect information. An attempt has been made to clarify and correct the record since, in our opinion, the record did not indicate that you had a detailed awareness and/or understanding of the differences between site and area conditions, the scope of the 6 ' storm drainage pipe and storm drainage principles regarding flows in the upper and lower basin areas. In our opinion, the Conclusion #11 on page 5 and 6 was based on unclear and incorrect information. We there- fore request that Decision #3 .c. on page 6 be reconsidered , be found to be unnecessary and be eliminated. AM-6026 Mr. Fred J. Kaufmar. March 22 , 1984 page 6 CONCLUSION Having clarified the record and corrected the conclusions, there are no longer sufficient reasons for imposing Decision #3 .c. Therefore we request that Decision #3 .c be reconsidered, be found to be unnecessary and be deleted. Please feel free to direct any questions regarding this project to Andy Padvorac at 454-6363 , extension #5177 . thank you for your consideration.

Kaufman City of Renton Hearing Examiner 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, WA 98055 Re: File No. SP-012-84 Proposed Grady Substation for Puget Power Dear Sir: As you know, Renton Village Company is the property owner adjacent to and downstream of the proposed Puget Power Sub- station project. We wish you to know that we are firmly convinced that the placement of fill for the Puget Substation will not displace any required storm drainage flood storage volume, because the installation of 60 inch and 72 inch storm drains made by us around the periphery of the site, and drainage improvements made by the City of Renton downstream of Renton Village Shopping Center has essentially eliminated the need for storm drainage flood storage on and in the vicinity of the Puget Substation project and the balance of our property. Consequently, we believe Puget should be permitted to drain directly into our 60 inch storm sewer without providing on-site storm detention and without providing compensating storage for any fill placement.

I' S. 1% 0 fer in ii at is UR is S 99%*I6 PUGET POWER HEARING BOB BERGSTROM: The area is pretty much upstream of the first crossing at Rainier Avenue/405 Interchange and is subject to intermittent flooding; that whole area in there of the shopping center and Puget Power facilities have kind of a history of being low areas, filling with water, and draining out. When the shopping center was built, it is my understanding, that parking lots were depressed relative to the buildings to provide flood storage area so that the buildings wouldn' t flood during some sort of storm, which is in excess of 10--year• storm drainage. The area is not in a flood control zone or any kind of a special flood insurance zone, but it has been an area that the City of Renton Department of Public Works has required a higher level of storm detent:.on — 5/25 year release rate. We' ve tried to work with the Department of Transportation to upgrade their cloverleaf storm drainage improvements under 405 in conjunction with this HOB work that' s supposed to go out to bid as soon as Tip O'Neal frees up the gas tax funds . State has pretty much insisted they don't feel like that' s their new business; they don't want to upgrade the storm drainage system; so while they are providing storm detention on the widening of the lanes, they are not upgrading their 48" drain system. What we've done in areas similar to this is if people do fill low areas, we have s.aggested that they provide compensating flood storage in another place and so for some interim period, perhaps some low areas are displaced, perhaps we can get an equivalent volume dug out in another spot to provide essentially the same storage and not aggravate any kind of minor drainage problems that are in the area. Ultimately, though, the City of Renton Department of Public Works wants to build a 60" or 72" storm drainage conduit east and west along the north side of 405, south of Grady Way, roughly on SW 12th Street, which will run from Springbrook Creek a little bit west of the Cummings Diesel. Plant, west to east, in this case uphill, to go back east to the shopping center and drain Renton Village Shopping Center and the areas to the east; run all that stuff through approved conduit. The drainage system the State has and the Valley stuff is adequate if you could upgrade the freeway length, but it just doesn't look like it' s going to happen lir itot 14 March 8, 1984 OFFICE OF THE LAND USE HEARING EXAMINER CITY OF RENTOP.; REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION. APPLICANT: PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY FILE NO. R-010-84; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 LOCATION: Located on the west side of Talbot Road South approximately 500 feet south of South Grady Way. SUMMA RY OF REQUEST: Applicant seeks approval to: 1) rezone approximately 0.84 of an acre of property from H-1 to B-1; 2) for a conditional use permit to construct an electrical distribution substation on the subject property; and 3) for a special permit to allow 12,010 cubic yards of preload material and structural fill on the site. SUMMARY OF ACTION: Building and Zoning Department Recommendation: Approval of rezone. Approval of conditional use, subject to approval of rezone. Approval of special permit subject to conditions. Hearing Examiner Recommendation/Decision: Recommend approval of rezone; approve of conditional use permit; approve of special permit, subject to conditions. BUILDING & ZONING The Building & Zoning Department Report was DEPARTMENT REPORT: received by the Examiner on February 21, 1984. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Building and Zoning Department Report, examining available information on file with the application and field checking the property and surrounding area, the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: The hea ing was opened on February 28, 19B4, at 9:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the Renton I.'lunicipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit #1: Yellow file containing the application, staff report, and other documents pertaining to posting and publication. Exhibit #2: Site/Landscaping Plan for the proposal. The Examiner noted the applicant should be aware that the rezone will be heard also by the City Council and that the conditional use and the special permit applications will be considered separately from the rezone request. Roger B aylock, Zoning Administrator, presented the staff report. He indicated the applicant is seeking approval to rezone 0.84 of an acre of property from H-1 to B-1; for a conditional use permit to allow construction of an electrical distribution station; and for a special permit to allow 12,010 cubic yards of preload material and structural fill on the site. The applicant is not the property owner; the owner is Renton Village, and the applicant has been granted a perpetual easement for the subject site. Mr. Blay lock continued by stating that the size of the proposed substation has been reduced by approximately 90% over the existing structure due to the many new types of equipment that can be utilized. This proposal would be an extension of the Renton Village Shopping Center area, with Renton Village eventually expanding to this area. Further, Mr. Blaylock noted Renton Village has requested their property be rezoned to B-1. The site is currently undevelcped, and will be filled and graded. Upon completion of this project, Puget Power will remove the existing switchyard. PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March 8, 1984 Page 2 The Utilities Division of the City has stated that a major 24" water main must be extended from South Renton Village Place up to the 6" line that goes through the subject site. This is a part of the change of the water service to that entire area. The ERC has issued a Declaration of Non-Significance on the subject property. The proposal does meet the criteria outlined in the code for rezone, conditional use, and special permit requirements; the site presently is not landscaped and applicant has proposed use of a chain link fence with cedar slats, as well as heavy landscaping. The height of the existing structure will be reduced and will therefore have a pleasing effect on the area. The Examiner inquired if water and sewer were necessary for the site. Mr.Blaylock noted the neither water nor sewer would be a necessity for the site. Mr. Blaylock stated the special permit is being requested to fast-track the project to have the facility on line by this fall; the rezone process could take up to 2 months and the applicant needs that time to begin construction to meet their schedule. The Examiner noted the area has been subject to ponding and flooding in the past and asked for comment on this from staff. Mr. Blaylock stated the area does drain to the southwest and into the P-1 Channel, and the parking lot of the Renton Village has become a detention storage area; there are two new 60" drain lines which have been installed on Puget Power property on the north side and this has alleviated some of that problem. He deferred this matter to Mr. Bergstrom for comment later in the hearing. Mr. Blaylock then noted staff recommends the Examiner recommend approval to the City Council of the rezone request (R-010-84); that the Examiner approve CU-011-84, subject to the condition that the rezone be approved; and that the special permit for fill and grade SP-012-84) be approved, subject to the following conditions: 1. Limitation of operational hours to prohibit truck traffic between 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., and from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. 2. Posting of a $2,000 cash bond to assure cleaning of public rights-of-way as determined by the Public Works Department or the Police Department. The Examiner inquired where access to the proposal would be. Mr. Blaylock indicated it would be from Talbot Road. The Examiner asked if the applicant was aware this proposal would require site approval prior to constructing the facility. Mr. Blaylock stated he believed the conditional use permit allowed that and suggested it so be considered by the Examiner. The Examiner noted he would consider it in his decision process. The Examiner then called on the applicant or representative. Responding was: Andy Padvorac Puget Power Building Bellevue, WA 98009 Mr. Padvorac stated he was a representative for Puget Power and Renton Village as property owner. He noted the site would be much cleaner aesthetically than the existing substation; he emphasized the time constraint involved here and noted this must be completed by summer, 1984 to avoid an extremely heavy additional cost to the applicant. Mr. Padvorac referred to a comment from the Traffic Engineering Division in the staff report with reference to driveway access being widened to 30'. He stated this is not a traffic generation site and that there would only be one small pickup using the access for weekly maintenance checkups; that it would be utilized very seldom, but the configuration of the equipment on site would not allow a vehicle to make a turnaround on the property. He asked that the driveway width be maintained at 20', and suggested that perhaps the radius at the curb be altered to allow wider turning from Talbot, but still maintain the width of the driveway to 20'. Bob Bergstrom of the Public Works Department noted the staff is concerned about moving lowboys with equipment in and out of there and damaging sidewalks in doing so. Mr. Bergstrom agreed with Mr. Padvorac's suggestion to widen the curb radius. PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March 8, 1984 Page 3 Mr. Padvorac continued by stating he felt the extension of the 24" water main on Talbot was not logical for the substation since it will not be needed; they will only be utilizing water fc r irrigation of the landscaping. He requested this requirement be eliminated or restrict the use of the site in the B-1 to electrical distribution site, with any other use requiring site plan approval. Mr. Pacvorac again addressed the storm drainage problem. The Examiner noted the report made mention that the site does contain water; the patrons of the shopping center have foLnd their automobiles to be sitting in a lake of water during a heavy rain storm. Mr. Pad dorac acknowledged there has been a definite flooding problem in that area, but believes it has been largely eliminated by the placement in 1982 of a 6' diameter storm drainage pipe. The ExE miner called on Mr. Bergstrom to address the concerns of the Public Works Departrr ent. Mr. Bergstrom noted this area is a part of the Rolling Hills drainage basin and is subject to intermittent flooding; the area is not in a flood control zone, but the city has required higher storm detention improvements for the area. He further noted the Public Works Departrr ent ultimately wants to build a large storage culvert, to drain the Renton Village Shoppinc Center and all areas to the east. Mr. Padvorac again stated he does not believe the track record of the area has been established since placement of the 6' culvert to divert some of the water from the area. The Examiner stated he would take this matter under advisement when making his recomm;ndation to the City Council. Mr. Pad""orac requested this matter be looked at very carefully by the Examiner. The Examiner noted he was not certain if it was within his jurisdiction to address the 24" water main extension on Talbot Road. The Examiner then called for further testimony in support of the application. There was none. No one in opposition to the proposal was in attendance at the hearing. The hearing was clo<,ed at 9:55 a.m. The Examiner noted he would make his recommendation to the City Council within 14 days. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the followin is FINDINGS: 1. The applicant, Puget Sound Power and Light Company, filed a request for approval of a rezone, conditional use permit, and site plan approval for an approximately 0.84 ac-e site. 2. The application file containing the application, the State Environmental Policy Act SI:PA) documentation, the Building & Zoning Department Report, and other pe^tinent documents, was entered into the record as Exhibit #1. 3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA, a Declaration of Non-Significance has been issued for the subject proposal by the Environmental Re view Committee (ERC), responsible official. 4. PI jns for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the impact of this development. 5. The subject proposal met with no opposition from the public. 6. The subject site is located on the west side of Talbot Road S., approximately 500 fe;t south of S. Grady Way, just east of the Renton Village Shopping Center. r PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March 8, 1984 Page 4 7. With the exception of a slight depression under the power lines, the site is relatively level. The vegetation on portions of the site reflects a swampy character and consists of cattails. Other portions of the site contain blackberries and grasses. 8. The area has been subject to periodic flooding in the past, resulting partially from storm water off of lands to the east of the site. While new culverts have been installed, the location would appear to channel additional water to the area. I-405, which serves as a type of impoundment berm, does not have sufficient systems to pass the water through to the south where ultimate drainage occurs. The new system does not provide additional southerly flow. 9. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of commercial uses, but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the plan. 10. The subject site was annexed into the City in May of 1956 by Ordinance 1547. The site was reclassified from its original designation of GS-1 to H-1 (Heavy Industrial) by Ordinance 1741 in March of 1959. 11. The subject site is a small portion of a larger area which was Puget Power's Renton Switch, an electrical transmission switching facility. Changes in technology and community growth have led to a gradual relocation of many of Renton Switch' s functions. The smaller facility now proposed for the subject site will be all that is necessary at this location. Puget Power has sold the entire site, retaining a perpetual easement on just the portion now under consideration. The existing H-1 zoning which encompasses the entire former site, together with the adjacent Renton Village Shopping Center and other property east of Talbot Road South, requires extensive setbacks which the applicant indicated will jeopardize development of the subject site. The applicant has therefore requested that the site be reclassified to B-1, together with the necessary conditional use permit to allow an electrical substation. 12. The filling and grading of the site will require approximately 1,000 truck trips for the 12,000 yards of material. The grading is necessary to level and stabilize the site to permit placement of the electrical equipment. CONCLUSIONS: REZONE 1. The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest, will not impair the public health, safety, and welfare, and in addition, is in compliance with at least one of the three criteria found in Section 4-3010, which provides in part that: a. The subject site has not been considered in a previous area-wide rezone or land use analysis; or b. The subject site is potentially designated for the new classification per the Comprehensive Plan; or c. There has been a material and substantial change in the circumstances in the area in which the subject site is located since the last rezoning of the property or area. The applicant has indicated that the requested reclassification of the subject site is warranted. 2. The subject site is located immediately south of the Renton Central Business District and adjacent to a major city shopping center. This location makes the site unsuitable for the development of heavy industrial uses. While less intense uses could locate on the site, the setback requirements and the potential for less desirable heavy industrial neighbors justifies the applicant's request. PUGEI SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March 8, 1984 Page 5 3. The Comprehensive Plan has also been modified regarding this area for a relatively long time and designates the area for business or commercial uses. The current H-1 z 3ning was imposed to reflect the existing nature of the site as the location of a t ansformer and major electrical switching functions. The zoning for the site no longer reflects the current technology and the public welfare would be better served bt downzoning the subject site as requested by the applicants. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 4. Tie proposed substation is not permitted outright in the requested B-1 zone, but is permitted due to its quasi-public nature; that is, electrical power generation is a necessary and valuable public service. It may be permitted if it is compatible with the area, the existing uses, and generally does not impair or impact the public health, safety, and welfare. The criteria enumerated in Section 4-748(C) requires conformance to the C Dmprehensive Plan, setback and bulk requirements of the site's zone, compatibility w.th the surrounding uses, analysis of traffic generation upon the circulation patterns, and sufficient parking. 5. The proposed use will be landscaped and screened from adjacent streets and surrounding property. The adjacent property is in the ownership of the operators of R enton Village, and expansion of the shopping center is envisioned. The proposed st,bstation does not appear to have any adverse impacts on potential expansion of the shopping center. 6. The site will be unmanned, but subject to periodic maintenance. Parking and traffic d€mands of the site should therefore be minimal and parking will be provided within the confines of the subject site. Diveway turning radius, structural strength, and other technical considerations mist be approved by the Department of Public Works. The nature of the site, though, appears to require the double driveway. 7. Tt e electrical substation will serve the public interest and is a necessary public service. As such, as long as it does not unduly intrude on the neighboring properties and the general public, it should be approved for the subject site. SPECIAL PERMIT 8. Tf e request for the special permit is necessitated by the applicant's need to prepare the site for quick construction once all necessary approvals are in order. The preloading and filling will be required to provide a sufficient grade upon which to to ;ate the electrical equipment. 9. The approximately 12,000 cubic yards of fill will require approximately 1,000 heavy vesicle trips to an area with large peak hour traffic demands. Under the cii cumstances, limitations on the hours of truck movements will be necessary to limit interference with the arterial traffic in the area. Truck traffic will, therefore, be limited to the weekdays to provide monitoring of the roads by city staff, and no operational access shall occur between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.rn., or between the hours of 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. 10. To assure that roads are kept free of debris, a cash bond of $2,000 shall be posted to allow the city to clear roads not cleaned by the applicant's contractor. 11. The site is swampy and the record reflects the fact that the general area has been subject to inundation in the past. Any fill on the site would therefore cause displacement of storm water to adjacent properties which cannot be permitted. The applicant's contention that insufficient retention on other sites has contributed to the problem cannot justify ignoring the potential exacerbation if the subject site is fil ed. Therefore, the applicant will have to provide compensating storage either on the subject site or by agreement with adjacent property owners on adjacent property. PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84; CU-011-84; SP-012-84 March 8, 1984 Page 6 The record indicated that the modifications to culverts which has occurred may not alleviate flooding, and precautions are therefore necessary in this area. 12. The review of the conditional use permit would appear to provide stricter criteria than the site plan review process required by the Grade & Fill Ordinance and should suffice. RECOMMENDATION AND DECISION: 1. The City Council should approve the rezone request. 2. The Conditional Use Permit is approved. 3. The Special Permit for fill and grade is approved, subject to: a. Provision of a $2,000 cash bond to permit street cleanup of debris; b. The hours of operation will be limited to weekdays and shall not be permitted between 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m, and from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.; c. The applicant shall provide equivalent storm water detention on the site or adjacent property to that displaced by fill, and development of the subject site. ORDERED THIS 8th day of March, 1984.

This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in private with any decision-maker concerning the proposal. Decision-makers in the land use process include both the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council. All communications concerning the the proposal must be made in public. This permits all interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court.

DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS: 1. The applicant, Puget Sound Power and Light Company, is requesting approval of the following three applications: a. Downzoning of 0.84 acres of property from H-1, Heavy Industrial, to B-1, Business Use; b. A conditional use permit to construct an electrical distribution substation; and, c. A special permit to allow 12,010 cubic yards of preload material and structural fill. Approval of these land use requests will allow Puget Power to modernize its major power distribution facility servicing Renton. The first phase was to construct a new electrical distribution substation at the Shuffelton Plant. With the completion of this substation it will allow the removal of what is called the existing Renton Switch, which is the major electrical distribution facility located immediately to the west of the subject site. 2. The Environmental Review Committee has issued a declaration of non-significance without any conditions imposed on the decision on February 1, 1984. The appeal period expired on February 20, 1984. REZONE 3.The Land Use Hearing Examiner must review four specific criteria under Section 4-3014(C) to determine that the circumstances surrounding the rezone request are adequate to recommend approval of the reclassification. The following evidence clearly demonstrates the rezone request is appropriate. a. That substantial evidence was presented demonstrating the subject reclassification appears not to have been specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning. The subject site was annexed into the City of Renton in May of 1956, at which time a GS-1, General Use zone designation was applied. In March of 1959, the subject site was rezoned to H-1 by Ordinance 1741. This is prior to the Comprehensive Plan adoption in 1965 and the last area-wide Comprehensive Plan analysis approved in March of 1983, for the Central Renton Area. PRELIMINARY REPORT TO - HEARING EXAMINER PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84, CU-011-84, and SP-012-84 FEBRUARY 28, 1984 PAGE 4 b. That the property is potentially classified for the proposed zone being requested pursuant to the policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan and conditions have been met which would indicate the change is appropriate. The proposal is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan designation of Commercial Use for the site. The majority of the site has previously been used as a major electrical distribution facility for the entire City of Renton. New technology has resulted in the ability of the industry to reduce the total area used for electrical switching. The existing Renton Switch will ultimately be removed and redeveloped in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. c. That since the last previous land use analysis of the area zoning of the subject property, authorized public improvements, permitted private development or other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change. The general area has undergone major development activities concentrated towards commercial and office complexes. Renton Village Corporation has developed the property to the west into a major shopping center including hotels, theaters and offices. The construction of SR 515 has increased the importance of this section of Talbot Road and the intertie to the City's streets system. These developments along with the major shift in technology of electrical distribution has created the ability for a redesign of the existing facility. This consolidated design takes approximately 10% of the previously facility, thus freeing up more land for commercial development within the City. The redevelopment of the subject site will be the next step in the ultimate commercial goal of the Comprehensive Plan for this general area. Timeliness d. The final test to determine whether a rezone is appropriate is to address the question of timeliness. The subject property is actually a redevelopment of an existing facility. The site is dictated because of the location of overhead transmission lines and its accessibility to major streets for general servicing and emergency. The Renton Village Corporation has inquired about rezoning the remainder of the property, previously owned by Puget Power, to allow the expansion of the Renton Village Shopping Center. However, reconstruction of the electrical substation must happen before redevelopment of the area into commercial activities could be proposed. 4. The basic reasoning behind downzoning the subject property from H-1, Heavy Industrial, to a B-1, Business Use zone, if the requirements of setback imposed on the ultimate development of the project. The H-1 zone requires a minimum sixty (60) foot setback from any street right-of-way. Imposition of this setback would push the proposed substation back into that area anticipated for eventual commercial development. In addition, it does not seem appropriate to leave this parcel, when the adjoining properties will eventually be rezoned to B-1 to allow commercial development. CONDITIONAL USE 5.The conditional use permit then becomes appropriate in the B-1 zone for any public use activity under Section 4-748. The following is an analysis of those eleven criterial: PRELIMINARY REPOR ) THE HEARING EXAMINER PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84 CU-011-84, and SP-012-84 FEBRUAF;Y 28, 1984 PAGE 5 a. Comprehensive Plan: The proposed use shall be compatible with the general purpose, goals, objectives and standards of the Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and any other plan, program, map or ordinance of the City of Renton. The proposal generally complies with the Comprehensive Plan designation of commercial, and the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The design suggests a very sensitive treatment of buffering the subject site from potential commerical users and from the general public along Talbot Road South. The present facility does not have any landscaping surrounding it to buffer and to blend the facility into the community. b. Community Need: There shall be a community need for the proposed use at the proposed location. The subject site has been utilized as an electrical power distribution facility for many years. The need is clearly established and is limited because of the location of major power transmission lines on the site. Reduction in the overall size of the facility will actually reduce the detrimental overcrowding and intensity of the existing development on the area. c. Effect on Adjacent Properties: The proposed use at the proposed location shall not result in substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property. The proposal as presented will reduce the impact of electrical distribution facilities upon the immediate area. The landscaping as proposed will create buffers around the much smaller equipment used in today's technology. d. Compatibility: The proposed use shall be compatible with the residential scale and character of the neighborhood. The public utility can be a very compatible activity in a commercial area. Since the utility will be located first, the commercial activities in the future will have to be more carefully reviewed for compatibility to it instead of the utility to the commercial uses. e. Parking: Parking areas shall not be allowed in the front, side and rear yard setbacks except upon approval by the Hearing Examiner as provided in Section 4-708(B)(3)(a). Parking under the building structure should be encouraged. Lot coverage may be increased to as much as seventy-five percent (75%) of the lot coverage requirement of the zone in which the proposed use is located if all parking is provided underground or within the structure. The site plan does not specifically show any parking areas. Parking of service vehicles will be accomplished on the site and access drives through the site are provided for maintenance and repair. No vehicles or employee should be on site unless in a service vehicles. f. Traffic: Traffic and circulation patterns of vehicles and pedestrians relating to the proposed use and surrounding area shall be reviewed for potential effects on, and to ensure safe movement in the surrounding area. The facility should not generate any additional traffic and, in fact, may reduce it based upon new equipment compared with the old style equipment presently in use. PRELIMINARY REPORT TO . ,- HEARING EXAMINER PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84, CU-011-84, and SP-012-84 FEBRUARY 28, 1984 PAGE 6 g. Noise, Glare: Potential noise, light and glare impacts shall be evaluated based on the location of the proposed use on the lot and the location of on-site parking areas, outdoor recreational areas and refuse storage areas. Potential noise, light and glare appear to be reduced because of the reduction of the scale of the operation and the inclusion of landscaping around the site. h. Landscaping: Landscaping shall be provided in all areas not occupied by buildings or paving. The Hearing Examiner may require additional landscaping to buffer adjacent properties from potentially adverse effects of the proposed use. The site plan shows a very extensive landscaping theme on all sides except for the access drives off of Talbot Road. The site must be heavily screened for any future development of the adjacent parcels in the commercial activities. If the site was in an area designated for residential activities, the screening requirements may have been even greater. i. Accessory Uses: Accessory uses to conditional uses such as day schools, auditoriums used for social and sport activities, health centers, convents, preschool facilities, convalescent homes and others of a similar nature shall be considered to be separate uses and shall be subject to the provisions of the use district in which they are located. This section does not specifically apply to the proposal. j. Conversion: No existing building or structure shall be converted to a conditional use unless such building or structure complies, or is brought into compliance, with the provisions of this Chapter. In this specific case, the provision does not generally comply because we are not dealing with a specific structure. However, the existing superstructure of the Renton electrical switch year will be completely removed after the new substation becomes operational. k. Public Improvements: The proposed use and location shall be adequately served by and not impose an undue burden on any public improvements, facilities, utilities and services. Approval of a conditional use permit may be conditioned upon the provision and/or guarantee by the applicant of necessary public improvements, facilities, utilities and/or services. No additional public improvements adjacent to the site are anticipated except for the extension of water and sewer mains as an eventual requirement of the redevelopment of the rest of the Renton switch yard. SPECIAL PERMIT FOR FILL AND GRADE 6.The applicant is also seeking a special permit to allow the placement of approximately 12,000 yards of structural fill to stabilize the site prior to actual issuance of the building permit. Stabilization is necessary, at this early time, because of the limited time schedule the applicant has in completing the project by the end of this year. This material would be utilized to stabilize the entire site and the top of the preload would be approximately thirty-three (33) feet in elevation. Approximately three (3) feet of this would be eventually taken off to provide the stabilized base for the substation. Special absorption pads for equipment and areas of broken concrete for site stability will be utilized. The end result will be that the site will be raised approximately five (5) feet in elevation. This will prevent inundation of the site during major floods. PRELIMINARY REPOR , J THE HEARING EXAMINER PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY R-010-84, CU-011-84, and SP-012-84 FEBRUARY 28, 1984 PAGE 7 7. Most of the comments concern the actual construction of the facility and the potential of traffic conflicts with filling of the subject site. Policy Development Department estimates approximately 1,000 vehicles trips would be generated onto the subject site. Talbot Road is a major arterial that may present some access problems at certain times of the day. Thus, the filling operation should be specifically prevented during the hours of 6 to 9 in the morning and 3 to 6 in the evening. Standard signing and flagmen control could be required by the Public Works Department for access. In addition, some concern over the maintenance of the street should be considered and a small bond approximately $2,000 posted to assure the cleaning of the streets is necessary during the time of the preloading. The bond should be utilized at either the direction of the Police Department or the Public Works Department. SUMMAF.Y 8. The three applications presented by Puget Sound Power and Light Company are designed to allow a maximization of the subject site and provide for as compability with the potential adjacent commercial uses. The rezone request will bring the property in to conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. This is probably the first downzone request that has been proposed by an individual property owner. Unfortunately, the conditional use is a procedural requirement of the property being rezoned to B-1. There is some question whether the use could be permitted outright in the H-1 and is still under debate between various staff members. However, the opportunity presents itself in that the public facility can now be reviewed under the eleven criteria for conditional uses. The applicant has shown though design and the use of modern technology on the subject site that it is a compatible neighbor and would be appropriate for this specific property. The special permit for fill and grade is requested solely out of the necessity to provide timely development of the site within this year's construction period. If the applicant waited until the site was rezoned and a building permit issued development could not occur until next year. Puget Power has even taken the position that they should submit the rezone application earlier than Renton Village Corporation solely as a result of the critical time period that the company is dealing with for construction.. The net effect to the City of Renton will be a reduction in land area that is presently being utilized for a public utility that pays no sales tax and a limited amount of property taxes. Redevelopment of the general area in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and still providing the public services and utilities that is necessary to allow the continued development of the city will provide the City with a more stable economic and tax base. M. DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION: 3ased upon the above analysis, it is recommended that the Hearing Examiner ecommend to the City Council approval of the rezone request, file R-010-84. n addition, we recommend that the Hearing Examiner approve the conditional use Dermit request, file CU-011-84, subject to the condition that the rezone be approved. The special permit for fill and grade, file SP-012-84, should be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. Limitation of operational hours to prohibit truck traffic between 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., and from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Posting of a $2,000 cash bond to assure cleaning of public rights-of-way as determined by the Public Works Department or the Police Department. 1 _._._.___- _-- : / 1 _ i 4 .; 4., i'I I 1 i '''6 j - ' il-,-i , . 03. .11 Ia L-1 t PI . t .° i? 113 I t_L..b1 i rJ^+ 01 I 1 1 1, i I I III 1 IIIIIHIIIIIM I N y I s-, I I 1piI" jIIIIIIIII ` t•o r. rI l ulllili' 4 o r1I.1; diticcol II wTIR - R-4 i I 10 1 — 1 s R-4 iilEi II y>o II T w R-4 fi ii rr I 1 _--_-_1_ :Limy, .: it, _ . ix. si. !; R-4 G-1 7 am .., _ .._ A-, r.

PROPOSED, date: FINAL, date: Declaration of Significance El Declaration of Significance Declaration of Non-Significance Declaration of Non-Significance COMMENTS: Introduction The State Environmental Policy Act of 1971, Chapter 43.21C, RCW, requires all state and local governmental agencies to consider environmental values both for their own actions and when licensing private proposals. The Act also requires that an EIS be prepared for all major actions significantly affecting the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to help the agencies involved determine whether or not a proposal is such a major action. Please answer the following questions as completely as you can with the information presently available to you. Where explanations of your answers are required, or where you believe an explanation would be helpful to government decision makers , include your explanation in the space provided, or use additional pages if necessary. You should include references to any reports or studies of which you are aware and which are rele- vant to the answers you provide. Complete answers to these questions now will help all agencies involved with your proposal to undertake the required environmental review with- out unnecessary delay. The following questions apply to your total proposal , not just to the license for which you are currently applying or the proposal for which approval is sought. Your answers should include the impacts which will be caused by your proposal when it is completed ; even though completion may not occur until sometime in the future. This will allow all of the agencies which will be involved to complete their environmental review now, with- out duplicating paperwork in the future. NOTE: This is a standard form being used by all state and local agencies in the State of Washington for various types of proposals. Many of the questions may not apply to your proposal . If a question does not apply, just answer it "no" and continue on to the next question. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM I . BACKGROUND 1. Name of Proponent Puget Sound Power & Light Company 2.

Project Description Puget Power is proposing to construct a 115 kilovolt (kV) electrical transmission substation in Renton, Washington. The project site is situated immediately west of Talbot Road S. , south of S. Grady Way, and lies within the northeast quarter of the northeast quarter of Section 19, Township 23 North, Range 5 East, Willamette Meridian. The project area is located east and adjacent to an existing switching station known as the Renton Switching Station. This station is anticipated for removal in late 1984. The site, consisting of approximately one acre of gravel , dirt, black- berry bushes, and grasses, would require grading to allow for the placement of gravel . The proposed substation would be known as the Grady Way Substation and would be comprised of 1 - 115 kilovolt (kv) transformer, 2 - 115 kV disconnect switches, 6 - 155 kV power circuit breakers, associated buswork, and 2 - 35 foot dead-end towers; all within a standard chain link fence. Access to the yard area would be provided by two permanent driveways from Talbot Road S. Initial work on the one acre site would commence with grading and filling in Spring 1984. t ,, r BSI AI T,F.

This construction is necessary to allow the removal of our ex- isting Renton Switching Station that is located immediately west of the above mentioned project site. The first major step in relocating Renton Switch was the permitting of the Shuffleton Substation. The second and last major step in preparation for said removal is the permitting and construction of Grady Substation in 1984. Removal of Renton Switch is anticipated to begin in late 1984 or early 1985. Situated in the H-1 zone and located on an easement from the Renton Village Company, the subject project site is designated as Commercial on the compre- hensive plan. The site, slightly less than one acre in size, will require 12,010 cubic yards of material for both preloading and filling. Work being permitted has an estimated value of S139,000 of which site work (fill, drainage, driveways and fencing) is $119,000 and landscaping is $20,000. Enclosed for review and approval are six (6) copies of an application for the following: 1. Special Permit 2. Grade & Fill Permit 3. Rezone 4.

JUSTIFICATIONS Rezone Puget is proposing to rezone approximately one acre of the Renton Village Company property in conjunction with permitting Grady Substation. City Staff has indicated a preferance to have the entire Renton Village property rezoned under one application rather than our substation site now and the balance of the site later. We understand the reasons for this preferance, however, to accommodate the tight schedule for constructing and energizing Grady Substation and the subsequent removal of Renton Switch, it is neces- sary to apply for said rezone at this time. Rezoning our site now ac- complishes two things. First, two functionally seperate projects will be isolated, an electrical distribution substation and the commercial develop- ment of Renton Village. Secondly, the site's zoning designation will be brought into compliance with the Central Renton Comprehensive Plan desig- nation of Commercial. Also, the proposed rezone satisfies the following Comprehensive Plan sections: 1. Policy #1.B. Commercial; 2. Objectives #II.C. and II.D; 3. Objective and Policies in #II.F. Conditional Use Permit An electrical distribution substation is an allowed use in the Commercial zone with a conditional use permit per City Code Section 4-748(D)1.K. The above noted use meets the criteria of City Code Section 4-748(C) , Conditional Use Permit Criteria, as follows: January 17, 1984 SUBS-3/84-CAUS Page 3 of 4 1. Comprehensive Plan- Rezoning from H-1 to B-1 complies with the comprehensive plan designated of commercial. 2. Community Need- a. An electrical distribution substation will not be detrimental to the area, but rather will allow removal of the Renton Switch facility; b. The flat site that is adjacent to electrical transmission lines and near a load center is an ideal location for a substation. 3. Effect on Adjacent Properties- a. Lot coverage- A substation is not a building, however, project coverage of the tax lot does not exceed 65%; b. Yards- Yard setback requirements are met by our plans; c. Height- Height restrictions for the B-1 zone are met. Thirty five (5) foot high dead end towers receive the electrical transmission lines into the substation. 4. Compatibility- Substations are compatible whether located in an industrial, commercial or residential neighborhood since they are landscaped and screened. 5. Parking- No parking is required for this project since the substation will be unmanned. 6. Traffic- Pedestrian traffic will be able to continue using the sidewalk along the west side of Talbot Road South. Following completion of construction, normal site traffic will consist of a weekly visit by a substation inspector. The two driveways proposed on Talbot will not provide through access to the Renton Village property. On July 21, 1983, Gary Norris, Renton Traffic, indicated that he did not anticipate any difficulties in locating driveways as we have proposed. January 17, 1984 SUBS-3/84-CAUS Page 4 of 4 7. Noise, Glare- This substation is designed to operate within the limits of State and City noise regulations. Station lighting for safety and security will be five (5) sodium vapor lights. All lights will be at least partially shielded from off- site views by station equipment. 8. Landscaping- Landscaping requirements are met by our plan. Wildlife habitat is provided by including: i. Shore Pine-For shelter and nesting sites. Seeds from cones provide an important food source; ii. Salal-Berries are an important food source. 9. Accessory Uses- Not applicable. 10. Conversion- Not applicable. 11. Public Improvements- The proposed use and location will be adaquately served by, and will not impose an undue burden on any public improvements, fa- cilities, utilities and services. Water for irrigation and a storm drainage line are located on or near the site. No traffic control improvements are needed because the substation will he unmanned. We understand that the City of Renton may restrict use of the project site to an electrical distribution substation with future redevelopment requiring site plan approval. We are not aware of any problems with such a condition at this time. Please direct any questions regarding the above noted project to Andy Padvorac on 454-6363, extension 5177.
