The main reason for' the termination was the expiration of the Earnest Money Agreement (s) on the to-be-acquired real estate; additional capital requirements in order to qualify the subject real estate for development; the uncertainty about additional wasted time needed to process the project to the point of project approval; and frankly, the uncertainty about the density, have all contributed to the decision to abandon the proposed project. We felt that this project would have been a real asset to the community and we would have been proud to participate further in the growth of this city. We are looking forward to working with you on other projects in the City of Renton. Sincer , • • OSS E. WOODWARD, JR.

Woodward : We are in receipt of your letter confirming your request to be removed from the Planning Commission ' s June 26 Public Hearing agenda . The Commission continued the hearing on your request for rezone to their September 25 , 1974 meeting . This was done in order to provide the necessary time for preparation , review and distribution of the Environ- mental Impact Statement. In order to expedite your request it is desirable that the work on the EIS be completed as soon as possible in view of the review periods required by State Law. The Planning Department staff is available at your request to review this matter with you . Please call me if you have any questions . Very truly urs ichael L . Smith Assistant Planner MLS/kh Renton Planning Commission Meeting June 26 , 1974 Page Two He noted that environmental impact occurs at the time of develop- ment ; therefore , the staff recommends approval of rezoning to M-P but continuance of the request for special permit to fill . The Planni ng Director pointed out the ponding area on the map and noted that it touches the proposed warehouse facility. It is the staff ' s opinion that zoning of the property would not preclude development of a portion of the property but granting of the fill would create loss of the pond area . Mr . Ericksen discussed the planned Valley Drainage Project and proposed provisions for its funding . Comments were invited from the applicant. Mr . Allan Austin , attorney representing Scarsella Brothers , Inc . , 1515 Norton Building , Seattle , stated that Mr . Cokely of the Soil Conserva- tion Service had advised him that areas that they have mapped for preservation are tentative and' not defined by boundaries . The pond was described as covering fifty to sixty percent of the property during the wet season . He described the applicant' s reasons for seeking relocation of his business facilities , noting that his lease at his present site expires in May 1975 . The property has been owned by the Scarsella ' s for ten years and is . being sought for industrial use due to its proximity to the West Valley Highway and the railroad . Mr. Mola invited comments from the audience , but none were received . The Chairman then called for a report from the Zoning Committee . Commissioner Ross , chairman , read his reporX which advised that it was the conclusion of the committee that rezoning to M-P would have no detrimental impact on adjacent properties . Further comment by the Commission was invited by the Chairman , but none was offered ; and IT WAS MOVED BY ROSS , SECONDED BY . GIBSON , THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE CLOSED .

Mr. Ericksen reminded the Commission that the site includes a ponding area which has been designated for retention as a wildlife habitat by the Soil Conservation Service . An environmental assessment was requested by the staff in order to evaluate environmental impact . The assessment was received June 25 , 1974 , and the staff has not had an oppor- tunity to make an evaluation at this time .

Further discussion ensued regarding the necessity of allow- ing a minimum of thirty days for public study following 1 publication of an EIS , which would preclude possible action in July. Mr. Ericksen stated that the City Attorney had advised that regarding the applicant ' s proposal for a con- ditional rezone that any such agreement would have to be subject to the outcome of the EIS .

Ericksen reiterated his comments previously stated that the environmental assessment had been received June 25th and would require additional time for staff review . The Chairman asked for any comments from the applicant . Mr . Allan Austin , attorney reviewed the position of the applicant. He noted the convenient location between a railroad right-of-way and the West Valley Highway for industrial use . He cited human uses in the area : trans- portation facilities , a new sewer line , and availability of water. Commissioner Scholes , chairman o.f the Community Services Committee , reported that the Committee had met but recom- mended continuance , since they had not had an opportunity to review the environmental assessment . Discussion followed regarding formal notification to the applicant as to the requirement for an environmental assessment. Commissioner Ross , chairman of the Zoning Renton Planning Commission Meeting June 26 , 1974 Page Four Committee , stated that at its meeting of April 17 the Com- mittee recommended that the special permit to fill and grade be granted , inasmuch as it was their opinion that the area was unsuited for the location of a wildlife sanctuary due to the proximity of a railroad right-of-way and highway. Discussion ensued regarding desirable locality for a wildlife sanctuary and whether or not an EIS is appropriate . It was then MOVED BY SEYMOUR, SECONDED BY SCHOLES , THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE CONTINUED UNTIL JULY 24, 1974. A roll call vote was requested with the following result : Humble - No Gibson - No Morrison - No Ross - No Scholes - Aye Seymour - Aye Mola - No MOTION DEFEATED.

Rezone G-6000 to R-3 R-756-74 Dear Mr. Thompson : We have enlisted the comments of our city attorney with respect to the legality of the rezone procedures which you presented at the May 22 , 1974 Planning Commission Hearing . It is his opinion that although use of contract zoning appears to be perfectly legal given certain parameters , it is difficult , if not impossible , for the City to agree to a rezoning prior to the receipt of an Environmental Impact Statement , its review by other governmental agencies , and the subsequent evaluation by the responsible public official , when such a statement has been determined to be necessary . The Planning Commission therefore cannot make any deci - sion on the rezone request until these items have been accom- plished . Our department has been working with your consul - tants and will continue to do so .

Smith � ---.:...r.-------..... �� Assistant Planner 9,L .� Municipal Building //VG DEpP� Renton, Washi&ton Re : Citizen' s Service Corporation, Rezone G-6000 to R-3 Dear Mike: This is to acknowledge receipt of your Memo on May 28 , 1974 regarding the abovecaptioned matter. You ask the opinion of our office on five different issues ,as contained in your Memo, and based on. a plan submitted by Citizen's Service Corporation,as attached to your Memo. The principal issue raised is the legality of the proposed "Contract Zoning" method. We had previously issued opinions on the general subject matter of "conditional or contract zoning" and also forwarded to the Planning Department copies of legal opinions thereon. We are not certain whether these opinions are being indexed and have been made available to you or not. To give you some general background on this subject matter we are enclosing herewith another copy of "Conditional Zoning" as same appeared inN:IMLO (The Municipal Attorney) in its May 1972 issue. Until about 1967 the courts , with few exceptions , have struck down, as illegal, any attempt, to rezone whether 'on a "conditional" or if contract" method. "Contract zoning" has generally been defined as .a situation in which a municipal zoning authority reclassifies, that is , rezones , the land to a less restricted use.,. while the applicant for rezoning agrees to special limitations on the use of the rezoned property which are not i e e - ssificatioi. Therefore, a question arises whether in the case you submitted to us the requested action by the property owner would fall within the above definition, since no special limitations appear to be spelled out over and above those required by existing laws and which would not also apply to other parcels of property similarly situated.. However, you mentioned in " subparagraph 5 of your Memo the possibility that other conditions may be imposed assuming the applicant agrees. The birth of"contract .zoning" occurred in the case of State ex .rel. Myhre v. Spokane , 70 Wn. 2d 207 (1967) when our Supreme Court for the First time validated "contract zoning" T1/e had heretofore forwarded • • Page. Two -- Mr.. Michael L. Smith May 29 , 1974 - to the Planning Department a copy of that opinion but are enclosing another set just in case the prior copy had been misplaced. In that case our Supreme Court simply held that an amendment to a zoning ordinance , that is a rezoning of a certain parcel of property, together with a concomitant agreement , should be declared invalid only if it can be shown that there was no valid reason for change and that they are clearly arbitrary and unreasonable , and have no substantial relation to the public-health, safety, morals and general welfare , or if the City is using the concomitant agreement for bargaining and sale to the highest bidder or solely for the benefit of private speculators . Therefore , on a limited basis , the Myhre case serves as adequate authority to allow "contract or conditional zoning" provided the above guidelines , as declared by the court, are met. Therefore the zoning authority should not be inhibited from insisting upon certain "conditions" to be met before rezoning and such conditions can be set out in a separate agreement between the authority and the property owner or developer.. Regardless of the term applied, whether"contract zoning;"conditional zoning; "condition to be met before rezoning" , "conditions precedent; they all emanate from the zoning authority's attempt to extract from the proposed developer an enforceable promise that the land in question will either be used in a particular manner, or that certain improvements will be made , or that the owner would dedicate a .cer.tain portion of the premises for street purposes , etc. Whatever these conditions may be , they should be fair and equitable and within the jurisdiction of the zoning authority. . One note of caution should be added to the aboveoutlined general principles . . From time .to time the Planning Commission, or some other governmental authority, may desire to limit the use of certain property as a condition precedent to rezone an area to a less restrictive zone , and this is sometimes enforced by' means of a restrictive covenant. Such factors would be highly questionable. ,,To restrict or limit the use in a given zone , when such uses would ordinarily be allowed within a given zoning district , may be a violation of the "equal protection" clause of the Constitution. Another recent case decided by our Court of Appeals is The City of Redmond vs 'Kener , -decided in December of 1973 , and we are enclosing a copy of that opinion for further background information of your Department. . To invoke the reasoning of the Myhre case (contract zoning) you must first determine whether the landowner in this case is asked to, or agrees , to perform conditions not imposed on others in the same zoning • • Page Three Mr. Michael L. Smith May 29 , 1974 classification, or is the developer in this casesimply proposing that he will comply with all the applicable rules and ordinances of all governmental agencies having jurisdiction over his proposed development? It would be our opinion that there is nothing illegal on the part of the zoning authority and the developer to agree as to the steps to be taken by the developer, as outlined by it, leading. . to the eventual rezone of his property as long as such rezone is not in violation of the City' s Comprehensive Plan. However, one word of caution should be added and that relates to the requested environmental impact. statement. It is difficult, if not impossible , for the City to agree to a rezoning prior to receipt of such a . Statement , the circulation thereof among other governmental agencies , and the ' evaluation by the responsible public official of any such Statement. Just suppose that all of the provisions of the law have been met by the developer and, absent the requirements of the Environmental Impact Law, it most likely would be granted such a rezone; if, however , for some reason or other , the EIS discloses a very substantial and extremely serious impact on the environment which can not be overcome by any remedial action, then, as we had previously explained in our opinions to you, the City may be justified in denying such a rezone ! Absent the effect of the EIS , which apparently is still an"unknown quantity" at this time , and assuming that no additional conditions are imposed not otherwise required of other property owners in said zone , then the City certainly would be within its rights to advise the developer that once he has complied with all of the legal require- ments of all applicable laws , then such rezoning would be recommended and approved. Any such agreement, however , would have to be subject to the outcome of the EIS since the City is no position to make any commitment or promise or enter into any contractual arrangement whatever without having considered and evaluated the findings contained in any such Statement. Furthermore , if the City wishes to impose additional conditions (but not to limit the use of the property) as set forth in the Myhre case , as a concomitant agreement , then this can also be accomplished in the same manner as outlined above , subject, of .course , again, to the proper evaluation of the Environmental Impact Statement. You realize , of course , that the primary responsibility for making such statement rests upon the responsible public official and not the developer. As we have explained so frequently before , the EIS is merely one of the elements to be considered in the rezoning. process and was never meant to pre-empt or overshadow all the others. In the last analysis , it comes to a matter of balancing the interest of the private developer vs . the public in general and the City must be impartial , fair and objective in evaluating and. deciding these issues . e � Page Four Mr. Michael L. Smith May 29 , 1974 Finally , if a"contract rezone" action is pursued similar to the Myhre case in this instance, the City may reasonably require certain safeguards to assure compliance. This may include the posting of a bond, or similar written commitments . Since you are dealing with an extremely responsible party in this instance , a definitive, unequivocal written commitment should suffice. We have attempted by the foregoing to give you some background on this general subject matter of "conditional or contract zoning" and wish to emphasize that this is a fairly new field of the law, and except for the Ityhre. case decided by our .Supreme " Court seven years ago , no other, pronouncements have been made by our highest court in this regard. We also invite you again to look at the opinion given to you in connection with the"Honeydew Apartments"case last month and my report to Gary Kruger of May 8. relating to the Federal Court.deciAions on environmental impacts .

As you recall Joan Lankford, Gary Kruger and myself of the Planning Department staff met with De En Long, David West, and Jerry Olmstead of your Company on May 17, 1974. We informed you that an Environmental Impact Statement would be required prior to a Planning Commission decision on the rezone,request due to the fragile nature of the site in question. The majority of the two hour session was spent reviewing various staff comments to the environmental assessment. These questions were to be more thoroughly discussed as part of the draft Environmental Impact Statement. Some .of the major points of concern are; 1. Page 1. Special Permit for fill and grading must be added to the list of permits required. 2. Page 4. The Wright rezone proposal for a marina in an R-3 Zone should be mentioned as part of the history of the property. 3. Page 5. The covered walk areas should be included as part of the lot coverage area. This should bring the proposed development very near the maximum 35% lot coverage. 4. Page 8.

Expand more on removal of flora that supports fish life. Also delete the statement about impeding malaria control. 26. Page 39. Are the plans to discharge all runoff into the Lake? If so, will it meet all water quality standards? The addition of an oil-water separator for the run- off from the paved areas may be necessary. Clark, Coleman, Rupeiks, Inc. May 27, 1974 Page Four 27. Page 40. Ten o'clock P.M. is too late for construction time limit. A more reasonable construction time, given the impact to surrounding residents, would be 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. 28. Page 40. Construction noise will have an impact upon the apartment residents to the south and should be so . mentioned. Reference any mitigating measures taken. 29. Page 41. Table III-1. Again there should be an average _ human toleration level or some way of making comparisons. 30. Page 46. Explain the statements on the heating systems. Are these used during construction? 31. Page 46. Traffic noise should be broken down into several sections; existing noise levels, anticipated con- struction levels, and eventual anticipated levels when project is inhabited. 32. Page 47. Noise levels should be based on more recent traffic data. 33. Page 47. Be more specific as to the plans for the existing drainage ditch. What would "dressing up" entail? 34. Page 48. Will the construction of any utilities not already provided to the site cause any problems(i.e., traffic, mud, dust, etc.?) 35. Page 48. You should, investigate the aspect of public safety on and near the site during construction. 36. Page 49. The Table should include D.U. 's per acre and total population derived from each of the land uses. This will have an effect on your summary statement at the bottom of the page. It should be more objective. Also if you count all the covered walk- ways your lot coverage is t 35%. 37. Page 50. Mention the removal of vegetation. 38. Page 51. Mention public access along the Lake. This should be explored.. Clark, Coleman, Rupeiks, Inc. May 27, 1974 Page Five 39. Page 56. You should revise the Comprehensive Plan figures of Table III-5. It must be assumed that R-3 zoning would be the vehicle used in implementing the maximum allowable density of the Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, given the fact that the proposed project is very near the maximum allowable lot coverage limit of the R-3 zone, the maximum allow- able density under the Comprehensive Plan would be very close to that of the proposed project if it consisted of all three-story buildings (i.e. ± 24 more units.) However, this would be almost impossible given the extra parking requirement. Also, is the square feet per D.U. figure you used, square feet of lot area? If so, the maximum allowable for 2+ bedroom dwelling units in an R-3 zone is 1250 square feet of lot area. These changes could cause some revisions in your synopsis of the Table. 40. Page 61. When stating mitigating measures to be taken you should use the term will instead of should. This applies throughout the statement. 41. Page 63. The statement about future commercial areas relieving impact upon freeway traffic is very dubious. It should be alleviated. 42. Page 63. Expand on vegetation removal; impacts and mitigating measures. 43. Page 65. None of your alternatives consider designs and or land uses consisting of a lower density multi- family development. This should be included. 44. Page 67. High-density multi-family uses are not allowed by the Comprehensive Plan in this area and should be eliminated from the alternatives section. 45. Page 69. Some of the reasons for rejecting the low-density multiple alternative are debatable. In reason (b.) the natural character may be preserved with the alteration of the two existing single family residences to duplex dwellings. Also there may be less excavation with this type of development. In (c.) there was no mention of apartments by Special Permit in the R-2 zone. Also, in what way is the open space less useable? Clark, Coleman, Rupeiks, Inc. May 27, 1974 Page Six In (d) there would be private recreation facilities just as in the proposed develop- ment. In (f) greater land coverage would not be allowed because of the 35% limit. In (g) a wider spread of structures would facilitate open space. There would also be the flexibility desired under the Special Permit method. 46. Page 70. If this is a previously plotted piece of land• all the lots are buildable if the proper yard requirements are met. 47. Page 71. If the access limitation mentioned does not restrict the site's usefulness as a multi- family development it will also not restrict its use as a public facility. Statement should be explained or deleted. The placement of the buildings for the proposed project, phasing, filling required, and eventual facilities anticipated on the water were also discussed at the May 17, 1974 meeting. The Planning Department is in the process of receiving an indication from the City Attorney concerning various aspects of the Conditional Rezone proposed at the May 22, 1974 Planning Commission Public Hearing. We will contact you when we have received and reviewed that information. The above 47 items were the areas of major concern that should be given further attention in the E.I.S. We will be happy to meet with you if there are any further questions. Otherwise we will be awaiting receipt of your draft Environmental Impact Statement as per the Planning Commission decision on May 22, 1974. Very truly yours, GORDON Y.

Shellan, City Attorney FROM: Michael L. Smith, Assistant Planner RE: Citizen's Service Corporation, Rezone G-6000 to R-3 The Planning Commission at present has a request for zoning reclassification from G-6000 to R-3. The property is located between the Misty Cove Apartments and North 52nd Street, west of the railroad tracks and Ripley Lane, on Lake Washington. It has been determined that an Environmental Impact Statement is required, and it is in the process of being compiled. Citizen's Service Corporation has in essence requested contract zoning subject to a number of conditions including the preparation and review of the Environmental Impact State- ment. A copy of their complete proposal is attached. The Planning Commission has asked that we attain your opinion as to; 1. The legality of the proposed rezone method. 2. The possibility of conflicting with the State Environmental Policy Act. 3. The various ways that this type of rezone could be accomplished legally. 4. The safeguards to the City if such a rezone were granted. 5. The addition of other conditions if the applicant agrees, (i.e., Site Plan approval by the Planning Commission.

The applicant, Citizens Service Corp- ration, is willing to comply with all of the state and local regulations and do the equired work, but must first have assurance that the change of zone request will be ranted. Practical economics do not allow heavy front end expenditures unless such ssurance is granted. The approach listed below will provide the City of Renton with he complete assurance that the property will be developed as proposed. With the assur- nce of an R-3 zone the applicant will move ahead and develop a time table to meet the equirements of the conditional rezone approval outlined below. 1. The city staff with the assistance of the applicant shall prepare and circulate the EIS based on the submitted draft. 2. The applicant shall submit a final site plan within one year from the date of Council action, complying with the recommendations of the Planning Department _ and the State's Shoreline Hearing Board. 3. The applicant shall receive an access permit from the Burlington Northern Rail- road essentially in accord with the site plan and the detailed drawings that have been submitted. 4. The applicant shall prepare and submit the Shoreline Management Substantial Develop- ment Permit Application. This permit when granted, will insure the City that the development will be done according 'to the approved site, building, landscape, drainage, and grading plans. 5. The applicant, at the time of filing the final site plan, shall apply for "Mining, Excavation and Grading Permit." 6. The applicant shall submit a detailed landscape plan of the entire site, including significant existing vegetation to be retained. Any fencing shall also be included on the final landscape plan. 7. A copy of the Homeowner's Association agreement shall be submitted for approval by the City Attorney. 8.

On page 58 of, this document , we indicate that there is no permit for the existing grade crossing in the vicinity of the Misty Cove Apartment. Subsequent to completing the draft , we received additional information that the J. H. Baxter Company ,has permit number 86859 (NP) authorizing use of the overcrossing. In our review of the history of the subject property, we note that a change of zone to R-3 was approved by both the Planning Commision and City Council in 1968. The latter action was contingent on the waiver of, or payment of the $100 easement fee to Northern Pacific Railroad Company by the benefiting property owners. 'It is apparent that this 'was never consummated as the city's file is still open on this case. After a complete review of the above case history, i.t is our observa- tion that the current proposal before the Commission more than meets all of the requirements set forth by city officials during the pre- vious consideration. We are sympathetic to the Commissioners' hesitancy to accept site plans and so on at face value. The proposal of our client is not "eye wash." They have every intent of complying with the final site plan approved by the city. -Inasmuch as the city does not have a vehicle to process planned developments , we are authorized by Citizens Service Corporation to work with the city to accomplish a mutually acceptable approach , be it Restrictive Covenants and/or Bylaws, or some other form. It is essential that timely progress is made during the consideration of this change of zone request. We are available to meet with the Commission and/or the Planning staff to work out any necessary details. • Respec ly �mitted, 1 Vale s Rupeiks VR:em O ' ':,' 11 1�� Enclosures "f %‘* \ ,��9 x, Renton Planning Commission Meeting April 24 , 1974 Page Three Humble - No Gibson - No Mola - No Ross - No Scholes - Yes Seymour • Yes Wik - Yes Teegarden - No MOTION FAILED .

Site plan of the proposed Planned Unit Development. 3. Cross sections and locations of the proposed entrance way to the property. • 4. A draft Environmental Impact Assessment of the Project. As you know, we are unable to complete an application for a Shoreline Management Permit for the proposed development unless we have secured a rezone of the property by the City of Renton. Detailed architectural , drainage, grading and landscaping plans are being prepared for submis- sion. A postponement of a decision on a rezone or a continuation of the Hearing will impose an unreasonable financial burden on our client, Citizens Service Corporation. Time is of the essence, and before our client makes a final financial commitment to the Project , we must have the City of Renton's approval of the requested rezone. Should your office have reservations on some of the items contained in our request and the site plan details, we would suggest that you make a recommendation to the Planning Commission •to approve our request , subject to reasonable conditions that your office may impose on the Project. .

Rezone • I talked today with De En Lang , the project planner for the proposed condominium development. I told him that he and his associates would be •free to make a presentation at the Public Hearing , although a final decision would be delayed until the proper EIS procedures are carried out. I also talked of some of the potential problems and adjustments in the site plan as proposed (i . e . heights , setbacks , • screening , landscaping , maintenance , etc . ) . I said that there may be other adjustments as a result of the Planning Commission and EIS review processes . He indicated concurrence with this and stated that he would be submitting a preliminary dxaft, EIS on Tuesday , April 23 , for our review. I said that it would be practically impossibl'e to thoroughly review it prior to the hearing and that the hearing would more than likely be continued until the neces- sary review periods have elapsed .

NEW PUBLIC ITEMS : The Chairman requested a brief review of items to be con - sidered at the April 24th public hearing . Comments and ques- tions were reserved for the field trip . Michael Smith , Assis- tant Planner, presented the applications as follows : REZONES -. A. CITIZENS SERVICE CORP .. ; Appl . R-756-74 ; rezone from G6000 to R-3 ; property located on Lake Washington , south of and adjacent to N . E . 52nd St . Mr. Smith pointed out the location of the property on the map and identified significant developments in the vicinity . He noted that adjacent zoning to the north is G6000 and R-4 multi - family residential to the south . He described the planned condominium development. He cited the following items to be considered : access , density , height and location of buildings , and environmental impact. The applicant is applying for a Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit. is Renton Planning Commission Meeting April 10 , 1974 Page Five He presented a map depicting the proposed circulation plan adopted by the Committee. Responding to a ques- tion by Ross , if the proposed plan agreed with the City comprehensive street and arterial plan , Scholes indica- ted that the Public Works Director and Planning Director had supplied staff assistance but that the plan had not been submitted to the Public Works Department. The Chairman declared a recess at 9 : 30 p .m. t.o .accomodate the City Council . The meeting was resumed at 9 :45 p .m. with all members noted as being present. Scholes continued his report and stated that the Commit- tee agreed to the report unanimously. He advised , however , that if the Commission , does not agree with their report , then it is the Committee 's recommendation that Whitman Court N . E. should be vacated. Chairman Teegarden noted that the Council Transportation Committee report dated January 24 , 1974, recommended re- view of land use in the area affecting vacation of Whit- man Court. • • George Perry, Chairman of the Council Transportation Com- mittee , stated that their Committee had met on the subject , held one or two public hearings , and established a recom- mendation to the Council that they hold a public hearing on the vacation of Whitman Court. An ordinance to vacate a small portion of Whitman Court N . E. adjacent to Honey- dew Estates has been passed and has had its first reading . It was the Transportation Committee ' s request that the Commission determine , if the street is sufficient to handle proposed development and if this is proper planning. In the meantime the matter is held in the Council Legis- lative Committeelpending recommendation of the Planning Commission . Discussion ensued regarding the definition of the Council request and the response of the Commission to the Commit- tee ' s report. Seymour indicated her support. Ross brought up the ques- tion of the appropriate time to consider Comprehensive Land Use Plan changes . Responding to questioning by the Chairman , Perry stated that the vacation of Whitman Court N . E . had not been finalized because there was a possibility that one property may not have access , if the street is vacated. Discussion followed on further appropriate action by the Commission . Consideration was given to holding a public hearing , referring the matter to the Comprehensive Plan Committee and also portions of it to the Zoning Committee . James Magstadt , Assistant Planning Director, stated that the Commission could consider the following possible action , noting that the Council Transportation Committee is primarily concerned about the vacation of Whitman Court N. E. and that the ordinance has had its first reading . The Commission may decide to recommend either the vacation of Whitman Court N . E. or leaving it as it is , based on the Committee ' s study. The Commission does not have to hold a public hearing , as the Council is conducting one . The proposed changes to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan can be studied by appropriate committees as time permits . TELL-. ."DONE MAIN 4-3946 , 4 e.." (/ VEIL H.

Gentlemen : . At your request we have conducted a soils and foundation 'investiga-- tion for a proposed condominium project .to be located near Ripley Lane, on Lake Washington, Renton, Washington. We submit herewith . a report oF our Findings, conclusions and recommendations. ' • Site Description The proposed site is a relatively level , irregularly shaped tract oF land , bounded on the east by the Burlington Northern Railway right-oF-way, . on the west by Lake Washington', on the south by the Misty Cove Apartments, and the north by the N 52nd St [Renton] right-oF-way. Three occupied houses and two abandoned structures are located on the southern portion oF the property , and one abandoned shack on the north . The site is open, covered with grass, and has a few stands of alder in the northwest corner. A drainage ditch crosses the ' northern portion of the site to the lake. Soil exposures' are • oF brown organic silt in most areas, and imported fill [.sandy gravelly silt] along 'the east boundary where a City oF Renton sanitary sewer was, recently installed. SubsurFace' Exjiloration In order to ascertain the soil condi- ' tions at the site , Four test borings were made using a track-, mounted hollow stem polder auger . Locations oF 'borings are shown in Fig. 1 , attached. Samples were :taken at 5-Foot• intervals' . using the Standard Penetration Test, in whibh a 2-inch 00 split spoon sampler is driven into the formation by repeated blows of • a 140-lb pin-guided hammer Falling 30 inches. The number oF blows required to drive the sampler a given distance is a measure • oF the soil consistency . Subsurface Conditions Five principal soil units were encountered ' at the site, these are described briefly as follows : r r t' y Citizens Service Corp April 4, 1974 Page 2 1 . An upper unit oF tan to gray soft silt containing organic matter' covers most of the site to ' a depth of 4 to 6 Ft . 2. Beneath the silt unit ( and exposed at the surface near the lake at the north end oF the site) is a unit of red--brown soft Fibrous peat . It varies in thickness from 18% feet in the north to less then a foot in the southwest . 3 . Beneath the peat in the easterly part of the site is a unit of gray moderately loose silty sand and silt , 6 feet in • thickness. • ' 4 . In the southwest corner oF the site , the peat unit and silty sand unit appear to interfinger, with a unit of very • • soft gray to brown organic silt .whose thickness varies from • 23% feet in the southwest to 12% Feet toward the north. 5. The lowermost unit encountered is a dense gray, silty sand • and gravel with hard silt layers. It was encountered at a depth of 15 to 20 feet in the easterly part of the site and 30 to 35 ' Feet in the westerly part . • Logs of the test borings were combined with logs from previous • borings in the vicinity and topographic information to construct three geologic sections through the site; these are shown in Figs. 1 through 3 , attached . • Groundwater was encountered at a depth oF 2% to 9% feet below ground surface, approximately et the level of Lake Washington. Groundwater would be encountered in excavations to or below the level of the lake and would [on the basis of present information] be encountered either within the soft peat horizon or within the • soft silt . In either case an excavation could be made perhaps 2 to 3 Feet below the groundwater table with only moderate inflow, after which the inflow of water into the excavation [or the stability of the excavation] would make further progress difficult or impossible. Construction at the ground surface (graded areas, parking lots, driveways,' roads, and light buildings] will have no • effect on either the level of groundwater nor upon its movement to and from the lake nor will the introduction of piling into the subsurface soil units. Site Geology The site is located at the north end of a delta which May Creek had built into Lake Washington prior to ' the lowering of the level of the lake early in the present century. The soils in this distal portion of the delta consist primarily • of Fine-grained alluvium and peat , as opposed to the primarily granular. alluvium oF the southern portion of the May Creek delta, near the present stream channel .. Man-made improvements ( e. g. , railway , Freeway, sewers, etc) now confine May Creek to or near • the area of its present channel , this ending the natural meander- ing channel shifts which occl.irred prior to the advent of civilize- tion in this area. The project site is located a sufficient ' 1 1 Citizen, Service Corp April 4, 1974 Page 4 compression oF the thick unit oF soFt peat are such that this area could better be used more economically as an open space. 4 . Settlement oF parking areas and driveways can be con- trolled by preloading accomplished in conjunction with Filling oF the site. The details oF the earthwork pro- cedure will be dependent on variations in thickness oF the grossly compressible soil units. We recommend that a detailed exploration oF the upper soil horizons be made prior to undertaking this phase of the project . 5. Care must be exercised during the site preparation phase oF the project to prevent erosion oF Fill and siltation oF the adjacent lake waters . We anticipate , however , that with Final paving and landcaping oF the project , no Furture exposure to siltation would exist . Concentrated discharge oF storm water into Lake Washington should , oF course , be provided with closed conduit or lined ditches to avoid erosion. • • R. Recommendations Fur ace ism is design oF proposed structures will be provided at a later date, when structure types and loadings are known . The site itself presents no natural hazards [e. g. , landslide or liquefaction potential ] From seismic activity. We shall be pleased to provide such additional assistance and consultation as you might need in Formulating Further plans For this project . Very truly yours, NEIL H. TWELKER ASSOCIATES • • Neil H.

I informed him that we had reviewed. the two (2) alternatives which he presented to us and found them to be unsatisfactory in terms of height, placement of buildings , and density . I said that the Comprehensive Plan indicates medium density multi- family and recreation in that area. This would pre- clude petitioning for any higher use than R- 3. I also told him the height limit in an R- 3 Zone was three (3) stories or forty (40) feet, and he could possibly have an extra half story for partial under- grounding of some parking . I also informed him that the heights should graduate down to R-2 requirements toward the north property line . I concluded by telling him that a proposal incor- porating these elements would be more suitable for the rezone petition than the alternatives he has pre- sented. Also , any other site plan details or further problems can be handled during the course of the rezone review process .

I said that we would but that we may not have the time to review it by. Monday , as they asked . I also said that a reasonable request would be for an R-3 zone with R-3 requirements at the south end of the property graduating down to R-2 type restrictions at the north end near the single family residential area . I told them that this had been discussed at previous meetings . We discussed the possibility of restrictive cove- nants restricting the various heights , setbacks , and landscaping .

On July. 24,. 1967., in the City Council meeting,- a motion was made to approve the rezone, but was not voted on. At the April 15, 1968 City. Council meeting, City Engineer Wilson submitted. a. Non-revocable Easement from the Northern Pacific Railroad for crossing under the. tracks and the matter was referred to the City Attorney and the Streets and Alley Committee for review and recommendation. The City Attorney and said Committee recommended the accept- ance -of the Easement and the Mayor and City Clerk to be autho- rized to execute if the $100 fee is waived or paid by benefit- ing property owners. (May 6, 1968 Council meeting.) A memo from the City Engineering Department, dated May 22, 1968 , states that the access problem has been resolved due to the - acceptance Of the Easement and applicant's commitments. . A Planning. Department in-house memorandum, dated November 19, 1968, states that the Department had not been able to contact either Moser nor Waters through repeated attempts. The case was then assumed closed. . On April 3 , 1974, Citizens Service Corporation submitted an application for Change of Zone. • 4. B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION' Area Percent of Percent of 1 .

PROJECT OBJECTIVES In compliance with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and. other government regulations and policies , the project is intended to achieve the following objectives : 1 . To produce a development which would be better than that result- ing from the traditional lot by lot development. 2. Provide a desirable and stable environment in harmony with that of the surrounding area. 3. Take a more creative approach in the development of land, which will result in a more efficient , aesthetic and desirable use of open areas. 4. Optimize regulated public access to and along the shorelines , consistent with private .property rights . 5. Encourage water-related recreational activities . 6. Take advantage of the flexibility in design , placement of buildings , use of open space , circulation facilities., off-street parking area, and to best utilize the potentials of the site, characterized by special features of water orientation , view, geography, size, shape and surrounding environment. . 7. Provide a motive fo.r. a reasonable profit. 6. D. PROJECT COST AND TIMING An estimated $1 .8 million for planning , designing and construction is to be spent over the next twelve to eighteen months on the project. The whole development will be constructed in one phase. 7. SECTION II EXISTING CONDITIONS A. NATURAL ELEMENTS 1 . Topography The site consists of two major topographic elements . a. Low Land. The southeast two-thirds of the site slopes gently from a high point of 28 feet above sea level at the southeast corner of the site in a northwesterly direction to the shore of Lake Washington. (Water level is 14 feet + above sea level .) The majority of the slopes are six percent or less. b. Lake Washington. The northwest one-third of the site, bound by the shoreline and Inner Harbor Line, is below the water level of Lake Washington. 2. Geology and Soils The United States Department of Agriculture classified the soil types of the site as Undulating Kitsap Silt Loam and . Rifle Peat. The Kitsap soil occurs in association with the Alderwood, Everett , and Barneston. soils, mainly on terraces in. the deeply entrenched valleys of larger streams and . glacial lakes . The Rifle Peat is widely distributed in depressions throughout both the uplands and stream valleys , but the larger areas occur in flat back bottom positions or swampy areas of stream bottoms and marginal to the larger lake.s. ( l ) Field investigation generally confirms such des- criptions. Seven test borings on and near the site indicated ( 1 )"Soil Survey , King County, Washington ," U.S.D.A. Series 1938, No. 31 . (1952) 8. that an upper unit of tan to gray soft silt containing organic matter covers most of the site to a depth of four to six feet. Beneath the silt units (and exposed at the surface near the `lake at the north end of the site) is a unit of red-brown soft fibrous peat. It varies in thickness from 18-1/2 feet to less than a foot. Beneath the peat are gray, moderately loose silty sand and silt in the westerly part of the site, and very soft gray to brown organic silt interfingers with peat and silty sand units in the southwest corner of the site. The lowermost unit encountered is a dense gray, silty sand and gravel with silt layers. The Geotechnical Consultant suggested that all major structural loads must be transferred directly to the dense sand/gravel unit which. underlies the site at a depth of 15 to 35 feet. This can, be best accomplished by means of driven piling, preferably of displacement type. . The upper silt unit in the southern portion of the site may used to support light weight non-settlement critical structures. Parking areas and driveways may be con- structed on fills placed over existing surface soils where these are of inorganic or partly organic composition. 3. Ground Water During the soil tests , ground water was encountered at a depth of 2-1/2 to 9-1/2 feet below ground surface, approximately at the water level of Lake Washington. 9. 4. Biological and Botanical Characteristics a. Flora The native vegetation in King County was dominated by a dense growth of conifers which matured to huge size, with a few small intervening open park-like, occasional prairie, or marshy areas . Most of the merchantable timber has been removed in the area. surveyed by U.S.D.A. in 1952. A second growth of similar coni - fers is becoming established, though slowly, in many places . (1 ) The proposed project site can be considered as typically having "small intervening open park-like and marshy areas" where conifers are nearly nonexistent. Vegetation, which exists on the site, is as follows : Trees Botanical Name Size Douglas Fir Pseudo-tsuga taxifolia 6" Western Red Cedar Thuja plicata 6" Bigleaf Maple Acer macrophyllum 6" - 12" Vine Maple Acer circinatum 2" - 6" Weeping Willow Salix babylonica 6" - 24" Red Alder Alnus vubra 2!'_ - 14" Shrubs Elderberry Sambucus canadensis 2' - 5' Ht.

Sedges Aquatics Cattail Typha latifolia 2' 5 ' Ht. Rush Juncus Spp. . 1 ' - 3 ' Ht. (1 )U.S. D.A. Series 1938, No: 31 , "Soil Survey ,of King County, Washington,".1952 10. Conifers ; numbering less than ten, are mostly around the two existing homes near the south property line. Willows , spiraeas and swamp laurels are mostly along the water edge. Alders, maples and most shrubs are scatterecj in the center part of the site. Cattails and other water-tolerant plants thrive along the lake shore and the northwest part of the site. In addition, to the above mentioned plants , numerous types of shrubs and fruit trees have been planted around the existing homes .. b. Fauna . (l.) . Mamma.ls A vast part of the Puget Sound Region is in the Humid Transition Zone, a Washington zone where mammals such as the Common Deer Mouse, Mountain Beaver, Red-backed Mouse, Pacific Jumping Mouse, • Marsh shrew, Coast and Townsend 's Moles , Townsend 's Chipmunk, . Douglas 's Squirrel and the Oregon Meadow Mouse are common. (2) Due. to development in the surrounding area and the earlier devel - opment of the site, game animals can not be found in the general. vicinity. The lack of conifers precludes the ,existence of chip- munks and similar small mammals. On-site inspection found no evidence of the existence of other mammals. (2) Birds Birds common in the Humid Transition Zone are the Ruffed Grouse, . Band-tailed Pigeon, Hairy and Downy, Woodpeckers , Pileated Wood- peckers , Trai l l 's and Western Flycatchers , Steller's Jay, Screech Owl , Brown Creeper, Black-capped and Chestnut-backed Chickadees , Bewick's Wren, Orange-crowned Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Black- throated(Gay Warbler, Robin , Swainson 's Thrush, and the Song Sparrow: ' Earl J. Larri's,on ; "Washington Mammals", The Audubon Society, 1970. (3)Earl J:.• Lamson , Klaus G. Sonnenberg, "Washington Birds", The Seattle Audubon `Society, 1968. 11 . In and around Lake Washington, the following Land birds and water fowls are commonly observed year around residents : Virginia Rail (Rallus Limicola) Long-billed Marsh Wren (Telmatodytes Palustris) Barn Owl (Tyto Alba) Red Tailed Hawk (Buteo Jamaicensis) • Great Blue Herons (Ardea Herodias) Mallard (Anas Platyrhynchos) SeaSonal residents such as American Bittern (Botaurus Lentigihosus) , Ring-necked Duck (Aythya Collaris) , are also commonly observed. . Other land birds and water fowls occasionally observed are . Hooded Mergansers (Lophodytes Cucullatus) , Northern Shrike (Lanius Excubitor) and Green Heron (Butorides Virescens) . (4) (3). Fishes Nineteen and one-half miles long by one to four miles wide , Lake Washington is one of the most popular and quite heavily, yet still underfished ; lakes in the Northwest_. Cutthroat , rainbow, steelhead , eastern brook, silver , mackinaw trout , large and small-mouthed bass , perch, crappie and catfish are found in the lake. In late summer a salmon run travels up both the Sammamish River at the north end and the Cedar River three miles south of the Project site, thus providing good fishing at the mouth of both streams for sea-run cutthroat. There is also a sizable sockeye run during the summer.. There is trout fishing throughout the year, but 'it is best, :in. Octo- ber., 'November, March and April . Bass fishing is best from May to August, also very good in late March and April , and fishing for silvers is best in May and June. (S) (4)Terence R. Wahl & Dennis R.

' None of the above mentioned mammals , birds and fishes are listed as endangered species. (Appendix- C) . 5. Noise Level a. Freeway Most of the ambient noise environment in the area is caused by vehicular traffic on Interstate Highway 405, two hundred feet east of the project site. The freeway has an Average Daily Traffic count of 24,400 ADT northbound and' 25,300 ADT south- bound. Assign 11 percent of the total. ADT (5 ,467 VPH) as the hourly traffic flow. (6 ) Then the average noise level at 100 feet from this hourly volume, traveling at an average speed. of 5.5 :mph:, is estimated as 71 dB. (See Figure 11-1 .) Since noise from a line source decreases 4.5 dB per doubling of dis- tance, (7 )' a L50 level (represents the noise levels occurring 50% of the time) of 67, dB is expected at the far east side of the project area. , b. Railroad The project site is abutting the Burlington Northern..Railroad right-of-way to the east The railroad tracks , 50 feet from the property line , are being used by freight trains twice a day, . once in the morning and once in the afternoon. At 50 feet from a freight train in full speed , the noise level is about 76 dB: ( 8 ) Since the railroad tracks are used by slow moving trains only , a much lower ,noise level is expected..• C6 )"Highway Capacity Manual ", Highway .Research Board , Special, Report 87, 1965.

Airport The project site is located three miles northeast of. the Renton Municipal Airport. The airport, operated by FAA, is a Class I airport (less than 170,000 plane movements per year) , and has an average traffic volume of 155,000 PMY. The airport has a 5,400 foot runway and a top Plane Movement Per Hour of_ 150 PMH (including both VFR and 1FR) . (9) - The airport zone includes "all of the land within two (2) miles south and one (1 ). mile east and west of, or that part of the area that is within the city limits of Renton, Washington, whichever is nearest the boundaries of the airport, .- - - 1(10) The project site is not within the zone, and is two miles north of the normal flight pattern. Figure 11 -2 , Traffic Patterns , Renton Municipal Airport) The normal operation of the airport effects the noice level very little, if any, at the site. However, the Renton Municipal Airport is also utilized by The Boeing Company for transporting new planes from its Renton Plant to Boeing Field. The frequency of jet plane transport from the airport is one to two flights a week, depending on production volume at the Plant: These flights are using a take-off pattern of north northeast over the East Channel , and this puts the project site within one-half miles , from the flight path. Noise level of 105 dB(8 ) is expected ' at the site at a frequency of once or twice a week: (9) FAA Tower, ' Renton Municipal Airport, February, 1974 (10)Ciity of Renton , "Code of General Ordinance'; Title IV, Chapter 7., ( 8) "Noise Pollution - Now Hear This", U.S. EPA, 1972 15 • • TRAFFIC - PATTERNS RENTON MUNICIPAL AIRPORT • EFFECTIVE.

Another station is four miles from the site at Renton Municipal Building. These stations , manned by the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency, are the only air monitoring stations in the Renton area. (11 ) The stations are monitoring suspended particulate concentration and the sulfation rate generated in the nearby industrial area. Data collected from January to December of 1973 shows that the monthly 24-hour average Suspended Particulate Concentration at S.E. Health Center (now called Southeast. District Health Office-Seattle-King County Public Health Department) was between 19.0 and 56.7 .ug/m3. At the Munici - pal Building it was between 29.5 and 59.8 ug/m3, which is below the National and the Puget Sound Region Standard of 60 ug/m3. The maximum 24-hour average during the data period is 129.0 ug/m3 at the Health Center and 78.0 ug/m3 at the Municipal Building (Standard is 150 ug/m3) . The monthly average Sulfation Rate was between 0 .28 and 0.59 mg S03/100 cm2 (data not available after August) at the Health Center Station. (Appendix D) . Air quality index in Renton has never reached the alert level .. (ll ) In the immediate vicinity of the project site, the one possible pollution source is the J. H. Baxter & Company, a lumber treating plant and the abutting Barbee Mill Company, Inc. , According to Puget Sound Air. Pollution Control Agency officials , there is no air pollution problem created by these plants with the exception of a creosote odor, however , the Agency has not received any complaints from nearby residents. A long-term program to convert the Plants to a residential complex has, been proposed by Quendall Terminal . Thus , this would preclude any possible future industrial air pollutant increases. (11 )Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency, February , 1974. 17. 7. Water Quality of Lake Washington Lake Washington is a nineteen and one-half mile long by one to four mile wide fresh water lake served by the Cedar and Sam- mamish Rivers and other smaller inlets . The 21 ,138 acre lake, with its 71 .5mile shoreline, has always been used extensively by surrounding residents for swimming, fishing and boating. It was also used as a source of drinking water for some com- munities and this continued to a small degree as late as. 1965. Starting in 1941 , a series of ten secondary sewage treatment plants were built with outfalls entering the lake directly. At that time sewage from 10,000 people in several communities was entering the lake. By 1957, the population served by treatment plants was 64,300, exclusive of septic tank drainage. By '1958, the lake had become so polluted that it was declared unsafe for swimming, and other recreational activities were almost prohibited. The major changes imposed on the nutrient income of Lake Washington since 1940 have been predominantly in the inorganic materials , not 'organic, and phosphorous was affected, in proportion , more. than nitrogen or carbon. (See Table ( I-l . ) . In. 1957,. concerned citizens persuaded the Washington State Legislature to pass an enabling act which permitted the estab- lishment of a metropolitan government with specific functions, and voters approved the establishment of METRO. Although the public vote to divert the sewage from Lake Washington took place in 1958, the first diversion did not occur until March 1963, and it took five years more to complete the system. By that time the lake had changed considerably, reaching its maximum enrichment early in 1963.. . After the first diversion , which removed about 28 percent of the effluent, the lake 18. . stopped deteriorating as indicated by the transparency and phosphorous content. (Figure 11-3) During the diversion period (1963-1968) the lake showed signs of recovery, and it changed sharply between 1967 and 1968. The phosphorous content of the surface water decreased to about a fourth of its maximum value , phytoplankton decreased, and trans- parency increased.

Cultural Features The Project site is located near the northern boundary of the City of Renton where heavy industry is the predominant land use. This setting indicates that cultural features in the immediate area are rare. Most schools , churches, entertain- ment establishments and open spaces are beyond walking dis- tance from the site, however, they are within a reasonable driving distance. a. Public Open Spaces The most notable public open spaces in the area are the two green belt systems proposed by King County. May Creek trail , one-half mile south of the proposed site, is a two-mile long green belt with an urban trail system along May Creek. One and one-half miles northeast of the Project is the Coal Creek trail . In addition to the two creek trails , King County is also proposing a bicycle-pedestrian trail along and near the east shore of Lake Washington. . The trail is to upgrade existing water front avenues , provide a safe bicycle route between Bellevue and. Renton , utilizing the railroad right- of-way and unused street ends . Another bridle-pedestrian trail one and one-half miles east and parallel to' 1 -405 will follow a major transmission line right-of-way. This trail will provide a linear, bridle path connecting Renton , Bellevue, Kirkland , Redmond and Woodinville with access to numerous existing and proposed parks and riding areas. One of the proposed parks along the trail is the Lake Boren Park, one mile southeast of the Project site..(14) (14)"Urban Trail Plan", King County Planning Department , 1971 . 24. Kennydal.e Beach Park, one mile south of the project, is a city park with limited boat launching facilities . Lake Washington Beach Park, one and one-half miles from the site , is a one-mile long water front park with recreation .facili - ties ,, such as boat launching ramp, swimming beach, tennis courts , children's play area, picnic shelters , etc. ' In addition to the above mentioned parks and trails , play fields and play areas are also provided in conjunction with public schools in the area. b: Private Open Spaces There is no known large scale private open space in the area, except for the proposed Quendall Terminal development, which includes open space and recreation facilities in connection with May Creek trail . . The unimproved city street right-of- way of North 52nd Street is presently utilized by. the Renton Sailing Club for small sailboat launching. c. Schools The site is in Renton School District 403. Figure 11 -5 (1) Elementary Schools. Hazelwood Elementary School , with a current enrollment of 751 pupils.,, (15) is within a one-mile radius of the site. Within a radius of two miles , four more elementary schools exist, Ken- nydale and Sierra Heights of Renton School District 403 ,. and Newport Hills and Lake Heights of Bellevue Public Schools Elementary school age pupils in the area are currently bused to Hazelwood Elementary because of the hazard involved in crossing the freeway..(15 ). .

However, due to the school district boundary, students in this area are attending McKnight Middle School (current enrollent 990)(15) two and one-half miles south- east of the site. Busing is also practiced. (3) High Schools The school district boundary is the determining factor of , which high school the students in the area will attend. Oliver .M. Hazen High School (current enrollment 1 ,710) , (15) three miles southeast of the site, is the closest high school within the district. Newport Hills High School of Bellevue is two miles north of the site. d. Churches. There are more than twenty churches of different denomina- tions within a distance of three and one-half miles. e.. Scenic Views and Vistas The setting of the project site provides the site with various types of views and. background. The prime asset of the property is the lake and distant view to the west and northwest. Low profile single-family structures domi - nate the view to the north. The railroad trestle and 1 -405 freeway form a uniform back drop:•to the east. Misty Cove,. the three.. to four story apartment building, blocks the view to the south , but at the same time, effectively screens the industrial area from the project site. The area east of the freeway is mostly steep hillside, served by Lake Washington Boulevard, where elevations are 30 to 50 feet above the project site.': (15) Renton School District 403 , October 1973 27. 4. Population Density . The proposed project site is within the boundary of. Activity Allocation Model District 4000 which is generally bounded by Renton-Issaquah Road to the east. Coak Creek and 160th Place S. E. to the north, S. • E. . Coalfield Road to the south and Lake Washington to the west. Present and projected population of the District is as follows : Percent Increase Year Population Households Persons/Household (Population) 1970 11 ,472 3 ,100 3.70 10.23 . 1980 12,646 . 3 ,669 3.44 —56. 16 41 .67 1990 17,915 5,360 3.34 Source: "Interim Regional Plan Forecast 1970-1990", Puget Sound Governmental Conference, November 1973. The above data is the most current information available, how- ever , AAM District 4000 covers an area of more than ten (10) square miles and no density figure can be derived from the data. Thus , out-of-date, yet more realistic. data , is pre- sen.ted here. The project is also within the boundary of Analysis Zone 4807 (1 .6 Square miles), bounded by S. E. 64th Street, 132nd Avenue S.E. , S. E. 80th. Street, and Lake Washington . The past , present and projected populations are as follows : Year Population Density Percent Increase Person/Sq.Mi . 1961 810 506 228:4o . 1970 2,66o 1 ,662 . 0.75* 1975 2,680 1 ,675 83.08 81 .72 1990 4,870 3 ,044 Source: "Interim. Population Projections", Puget Sound Governmental Conference. (Undated report) This reflects the recessional mood at the time when this report was prepared. 28. 5. Transportation System a. Public Transportation The project site and its immediate area is served by Metro Transit buses. Transit Route #240, running north-south on Lake Washington Boulevard 500 feet east of the site, connects Renton. with Bellevue, Kirkland and Bothell to the north , and Tukwila, Sea-Tac Airport and Burien to the southwest. Transit Route #242, running north-south on 1 -405 , with a pick up point at May Creek Interchange one-half mile south of the site, connects Renton with Seattle via the Mercer Island Floating Bridge. Transit Routes #42 and #107, terminating at Kennydale one mile south of the site, connect Renton with Seattle via Rainier Beach , Rainier Valley, Boeing Field and Georgetown. Other routes can be easily reached through trans- fer. As previously mentioned , all school age children from the area' are presently being bused to their respective school . b . Arterials and Highways The site is fronting North 52nd Street, an unimproved: street. • end , with access to Ripley Lane North which serves 30 or so single-family homes to the north,, and connects to Lake Wash- ington Boulevard and Interstate 405. The freeway, running north-south 100 feet east of the site, serves the area via the May Creek Interchange`'one-half mile south of the project . (See Figure II-6) Points of importance and their distance from the Interchange are as follows : Destination Direction Miles . Interstate 90 ' ' .

Local Access Presently, local access to the site is provided through the railroad underpass at the northeast corner and the grade crossing to the southeast. . The underpass , shared b.y residents to the north, has the capacity of one-way traffic with hard-to-negotiate corners . The grade cross- ing is shared with Baxter Company and the Misty Cove Apartment. (Figure . II -7) d. Bicycle-Pedestrian Trails Lake, Washington (Renton) Trail is being proposed by King County. This section of the trail is to be an eight-mile ' long bicycle-pedestrian trail along or parallel to the lake ' shore. The trail will be a major trail connecting Rainier Beach to the Mercer Slough and Bellevue. In the vicinity ' of the project site, the trail is to utilize the railroad right-of-way and provide access to Lake Washington through ' now unused street ends. The trail is to join Coal Creek and Cougar Mountain Trails at Newcastle Beach Park, 1-3/4 miles north of the project site. 31 . • • N , , c m . . • cG LAKE WASHINGTON I-40$ z m lNo. 52ndS , • • ,, ,� • / ( ' ii PROJECT SITE rr ' . < . / • ;II • . • i r1 L. ►— ii V .

Topography The development should not cause impact of any consequence to the topographic character of the site. No shoreline alterna- tion is proposed, thus , land configuration of the site will not be changed. Due to the level nature of the site , construc- tion of the Project would only require minimum grading, and , therefore, the topographic characteristics of the site will not be altered. 2. Geology and Soils . The construction of the Project may cause some minimum impact on the geology and soils on the site but no significant impact on those in the immediate vicinity. a. Excavation. As recommended by. the Soils Engineer, all major structural loads must be transferred directly to the dense sand/gravel unit. Thus ,: major excavation for footings would not be necessary. Gradings required for driveways and parking area construction are minimal, and no significant impact would be caused by excavation. b. Fill . . Construction of parking areas and driveways in areas where soils are of inorganic or partly organic composition will require imported fill. Settlement of parking areas and driveways can be controlled by preloading accomplished in 36. conjunction with filling of the site. The details of the earthwork procedure will be dependent on variations in the thickness of the grossly compressible soil units. A detailed exploration of the upper soil horizon is recommended prior to undertaking this phase of the Project. Portions of the Project site in which peat is exposed at ground surface could also receive fill , however , the precautions which must be invoked to offset the effects of compression of the thick unit of soft peat are such that this area could better be utilized more economically as open space and re- creation areas . (Appendix B.) c. Earthquake. Structural design of all buildings in the Project will be in accordance with the latest edition of the City of Renton Building Code and Uniform Building Code, thus , minimizing any possible earthquake damage. ' 3. Erosion by Runoff The existing drainage ditch at the 'northern portion of the site was the result of erosion caused by surface runoff ditched and piped to the site from the upper land area, freeway and the rail - road. The Project is proposing the "dressing up" of the ditch in conjunction with a retention system to control the discharge rate of the runoff and at the same time settle out silts before ' discharge.' Concentrated 'discharge.of storm water from paved areas should also be provided with closed conduit or lined ditches . Runoff from non-paved areas can be efficiently controlled by utilizing grassed areas and/or planter beds of decorative vegeta- tion. The organic topsoil now existing on the site .can effectively 37. absorb large quantities of precipitation and release it at a slow rate. These measures would , in fact, eliminate the limited erosion problem now existing and prevent further 'erosion by con- trolling the surface runoff. 4. Biological Alteration. a. Flora. The development , with its roads, buildings and landscaping, will inevitably remove some existing vegetation in areas where construction is to occur. The majority of the existing trees and shrubs are non-native growth , planted by past home owners for landscaping purposes. Plants removed will be more than compensated by the proposed landscaping. . The only native trees on the site are the 2" to 6" Red Alders. The removal of the Alders may, in fact , help eliminate the spread of cater- pillars without the use of pesticides. Efforts should be made to: retain as many desirable trees and shrubs as possible. The construction of the bulkhead and the cleaning up of the water front debris will also remove some of the ground cover and aquatic plants . Ground covers lost should be replaced by more desirable lawn and ground covers. Aquatics will most likely replace themselves. However, most of these plants are classified as "aquatic weeds that choke waterways, interfere with navigation, conflict with fish , wildlife, and recreational interest, and impede malaria control . " (18) ( 18artin, Alexander C. , "Weeds", Golden Press , N.Y. ; 1972 38. b. Fauna. The development should not cause any impact to the non- existing mammals on the. site. The majority of birds that exist on and near the site are offshore water fowls. No extensive water front development is proposed , so there would be no significant impact on these birds. However, the Project is proposing a drainage system which would include retention facilities to minimize siltation and ero- sion caused by existing, drainage way. Thus , the development would greatly effect the fish life .in the nearby water. If, and whenever, future water oriented development is to occur, all piers and docks should be built of open pile construction. The use of floating docks in lieu of other types of docks should be encouraged. 5. Noise Two principal measures are used in evaluating the impact of noise caused by the Project on the environment. These are "intensity"' and "extent." Short-term construction activities would be the primary cause of noise impact with "intensity.," and noise from vehicular traffic sources would contribute the "extent" of noise impact. a. Construction Noise. Short-term construction activities would be the primary cause of noise impact associated with the proposed Project. The City of Renton presently has no noise ordinance, how- ever, the 'construction hours will be voluntarily limited from 7 A.M. to 10 P.M. During these construction hours over the projected time span, the noise levels in the vicinity of the Project site will be altered'. In an urban setting, 39. based on the estimated ambient levels and a construction model , it is possible to project the average noise levels that could occur. (The site is in a suburban setting , how- ever, its ambient levels are that of an urban setting due to traffic noise from the freeway.) Table III-I and Figure III-1 show the relative noise levels that could be expected for construction of a residential development for each of five major construction phases . Table III -2 shows the typical noise levels during each phase of construction activity for a residential development in a setting such as the Project site at various distances from the area. Five assumptions were made: (1) The .existing daytime ambient L50 range is from about 60 to 70 dBA in the vicinity of the site since the noise from the freeway is the predominant source of ambient noise. (2) With no attenuating or abating measures , the projected noise levels would approximate those shown in. Table III -1 at .50 feet. (3) . All pertinent equipment would be present at the site during construction. (4) .The center of the site would be the referent noise source location. (5) Propagation., loss for indoor environments would average 20 dBA with windows closed. Within a radius of 400 feet, there are only three single family homes, to the north , one home to the east and one 50-unit apartment building to the south, thus , day time con- struction should not cause significant impact on the surround- ing residents. . 4o.

(2) Selecting quieter alternate items of equipment. ' . (3). Scheduling of equipment operation to keep average levels low; to have the noisiest operations coincide with times of highest ambient levels ; and to keep noise levels rela- tively uniform in time; also, turning off idling equip- ment. (4) Keeping noisy equipment as far as possible from site's south boundary.

Traffic Noise Noise from vehicular traffic sources predominates the exist- ing noise level in the area of the proposed Project site. An estimated maximum traffic volume of 560 ADT (See Section Ill-B-5) at an average speed of 20 mph. or less would be gen- erated by the Project when fully occupied. The average noise level at 100 feet from an assigned hourly volume of 61 VPH (11% of Total ADT) at the speed of 20 mph is estimated as 38 dB, (Figure 11 -1 , Section II -A-5-a. Freeway) a noise level which is "acceptable" by HUD Standards. In proportion to the population increase of the area, the pro- posed Project would contribute 5.26 percent of the total pro- jected traffic volume increase of .83.08 per.cent(17.) in the area between 1970 and. 1990, and because noise level increases logarithmically , a 5.26 percent traffic increase would be normal in terms of a noise level increase. 6. Air Quality .. a. Construction Construction materials used for the proposed Project will be such that they will not conflict with the requirements . of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency and the City of Renton Building Department. The heating system, which emits air pollutants , will not be used extensively due to current fuel shortages. Thus , the construction of the Project should not cause a significant impact on the air quality of the area. (17)"Interim Population Projections", Puget Sound Governmental Conference, (undated report) . 4.6. b. Traffic The impact on air quality caused by the proposed Project will be mainly due to automobile,emission. An estimated traffic volume of 560 ADT may be generated by the Project and assuming the average trip is 5 miles , an average of 2 ,800 miles of travel per weekday would be expected. Using the emission factors for gasoline powered motor vehicles for 1975(20) and assuming an average speed of 45 mph, the following emissions of various pollutants, per weekday is expected : CO 2800 miles x 35 g/mi = 98 Kg HC Exhaust 2800 miles x 4 g/mi = 11 .2 Kg HC Crankcase & Evap. 2800 miles x 1 .62 g/mi = 4.5 Kg 15•7 Kg NOx (as NO2) 2800 miles x 4.9 g/mi = 13.7 Kg Particulates 2800 miles x 0 .1 g/mi = 0.3 Kg These estimated emissions of pollutants are to be spread over an area of an average radius of five miles, and will decline in response to the stricter pollution control standards that are going to be applied to motor vehicles . 7. Water Quality As previously mentioned in Section II , "the water. of Lake Wash- ington are now clean," and the proposed development includes the "dressing up" of the existing drainage ditch in conjunction with a retention system to control the discharge rate of the runoff and , at the same time, settle silts and potential pollut- ants before discharge. This would improve the quality of the water in the Lake. 1-2o)EPA, "Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors", 1972 47. In addition to the diversion of sewer carried out by METRO, four new studies concerning the river basins of Lake Washington and Puget Sound are underway at the present time. The studies , which include Water Quality Management , Water Resources Manage- ment , Urban Runoff and Basin Drainage, and. Solid Waste Manage- ment, are sponsored by METRO through its River Basin Coordinating Committee (RISCO) . Implementation plans are to be completed by July 1 , 1974, which would further the clean-up effort and the control of water pollution in Lake Washington and Puget Sound. . 48. I ' B. CHANGE IN HUMAN USES 1 . Zoning The proposed Project will require a change of zone from G-6000 to R-3. The zoning change will provide the flexibility re- quired for the Project. The following are the zoning code ele- ments involved in the change: Proposed in G-6000 R-3 the Project Number of stories 2 3 ._3 Height 35 Ft . . 40 Ft. 35 Ft . Lot Coverage 35% 35% 32% Minimum Lot.

Apartment Not Allowed Yes Yes The above Table indicates the only changes proposed. by the Project would be the number of stories allowed., and the oppor- tunity for an apartment or condominium development. 49• 2. Land Use The proposed Project will change the existing, mostly vacant , site, to multiple-family use, and cause the relocation of the three existing occupied single-family homes and the demolition of the two other unoccupied structures . Site preparation of the Project will also remove the various kinds of household debris now scattered on the site. 3. Change in Land Value The development of the Project will increase the tax revenue of the site from its present assessed value of about $100,000 to $3.5 million. However, this will not be the cause of the increase i.n the assessed valuation of adjacent properties nor result in increased taxes , since the property south of the site is a developed apartment complex and the properties north of the site lack' development 'potentia,l due to site con- figuration and access limitations. The assessed., value of the properties south of the Apartment has been established by the ' development of the Apartment. Further change of the assessed valuation 'of ,these properties. will stand on their own merits and not be effected by the proposed Project. Properties east of the Freeway have limited potential due. to topographic re- strictions . 50. 4. Cultural Features The proposed Project is expected to have no impact on private open space (mostly proposed) in the vicinity since those pro- posed facilities , if ever developed, will be provided for the exclusive use of the residents in those developments. The pro- posed Project will provide certain private recreation facilities , open space system and water front for its own residents , thus, causing no load increase upon nearby public open spaces. How- ever, different degress of impact on views , local schools and churches may be expected. a. Schools Assuming the age distribution of the proposed Project. resi - dents is the same as that of King County (similar to the City of ,Renton) , then the projected number of school age children would be as follows : High School . 10 7.23% of total. population Middle School 5 3.88%_ of total population. Elementary School 19. 13..69% of total population.. Total. 34 24.29% of total population Three elementary, one middle and one high school in Renton School District 403 near the site will be the schools which , children from the Project may attend. The following are their current enrollmentsand capacities : 51 . Current School Capacity Enrollment Balance Hazen High 1 ,856 . .1.,710 + 146, McKnight Middle 1 ,140 990 + 150 Hazelwood Elem. 672 751 - 79 Kennydale Elem. 532 362 .+ 170 Sierra Heights Elem. 448 395 + 53 + 144. (15)Source: Renton School District 403 , October 1973 The above Table indicates a below capacity enrollment in most of the schools with the exception of Hazelwood Elementary School . This condition also exists in other schools of the district, caused by a continuing decline in total population. Enrollment projections for 1974 through 1978 also indicate a general declin- ing trend for almost all grades. (Table .III -4) With the exist- ing .low enrollment and a project declining future enrollment, the mostly new or recently remodeled schools of the District can easily absorb those 34 pupils from the Project. If the student to population ratio found in other condominium developments prevails in this Project , it is reasonable to assume that. the student ratio generated by this proposed development will , be lower than found in the Renton School District. The number of pupils from the Project could be substantially less than' 34 pupils. 52.

Churches Approximately sixty percent of the population may be expected to affiliate with local churches.. The proposed Project may produce 84 + church constituents. Since the Project is not religion-oriented, it is safe to assume that this group of church constituents will be absorbed by the twenty plus churches within the distance of three and one-half miles. c. Scenic. Views and Vistas Structures proposed in the Project will cause a certain degree of impact on the view availability of the five single-family homes on the slope east of the Freeway. A detailed study of the view condition was made with the assumptions that, (1) no consideration is given to natural vegetation now existing between: the homes and view sources; (2) no consideration is given to "territorial view," "mountain view" or "distance view,!' . for' they.are not effected by the. Project. Only the water surface of Lake Washington lying within the view sectors impacted by the Project is considered. (3) Due to the fact that no substantial view variation exists among the homes considered, an average view focal point, was used. . The study shows that the proposed structures with a.maximum building height of 35 feet will cause a potential 8.2 percent view impairment to the five homes . Under the same assumption, the existing structure of Misty Cove Apartments is causing a 14.4 percent impairment. The 8.2 percent view impairment is a maximum theoretical loss of view. In reality, the view loss to the homes' is' substantially less. . (Appendix E.) ' Using the above mentioned three assumptions , the total potential view angle is estimated at 118 degress , and the view angle effected 54, by the proposed Project is 24 degrees or 20.34 percent. of the total view angle. Therefore , an 8.2 percent view impairment to the 24 degree angle would constitute a 1 .67 percent view impairment on the total potential lake view now available to the five homes on the slope. 5. Population Density In order to evaluate the impact caused by the Project on the population density of the area, the household density (persons per dwelling unit) for the Project and its surrounding areas are compared. The 1970 Census reported the following household densities : King County 2 .89 persons per D.U. Renton 2.89 Bellevue 3.47 it II Census Tract 247 3 .52 " !' AAM District 4000 3.70 " 'I II The primary impact area is exclusively water front units, thus , household densities are assumed as follows : Proposed Project 2.5 persons per D.U. N. "Ripley Lane. (all S-F units) 3..2 II II II Misty Cove Apartment 2.5 ". II II Thus , a comparison of densities can be made as shown in Table III-5. The proposed Project would have a density of 39.21 per- sons per acre, which is 35.39 percent higher than existing, single family units to the north , 44.86 percent of that of the apartment to the south , and only 21 .48 percent of that allowed by the Com- prehensive Plan. This indicates a more gradual step down of population density from high density multiple-family district to medium density to low density single-family district. The . proposed Project would , in fact, provide a cushion between the two extreme densities. 55. TABLE III -5 POPULATION DENSITY IMPACT . Proposed Misty Comprehensive Plan Ripley Ln.N.

Transportation System a. Public Transportation The closest public transportation that could be utilized by the proposed Project residents is, Metro Transit Route #240 running. north-south on Lake Washington Boulevard N.E. 500. feet east of the site. However, due to Interstate 405, and its access limitation, the closest pick up point would have to be one-half miles south of the site at the May Creek Interchange., Provision for a freeway overpass connecting Lake. Washington Boulevard North and Lake Washington Boule- vard N.E. was made but the future of the proposed structure is uncertain . Utilization of public transportation by the residents of the proposed Project will be limited, thus , the Project causes no significant impact on the transit system. 56: b:. Arterials and Highways Traffic 'generated from the proposed Project will be mostly by private automobile and service vehicles due to the limited use of public transportation. Existing traffic volume generated from residents on Ripley Lane North and the Misty Cove Apartment indicates -an average weekday Trips per Dwelling Unit of 3 .87, Ripley Lane North, and 6.25 for Misty Cove. A maximum of ten trips per day per dwelling unit from the proposed Project is assumed . A maximum traffic volume of 560 ADT may be expected. Based on population projections , this traffic volume would con- stitute 5.26 percent of the 83.08 percent increase projected for the area by 1990, At the full occupancy of the proposed Project (1976) , a maximum hourly traffic volume of 61 VPH (11 percent of ADT) would be added to the freeway's 'present 5,635 VPH and constitute an increase of. 1 . 10 percent, . with a total of 5,697 VPH which is 28.79 percent below the capa- city (8,000 VPH) of the freeway under ideal conditions. (6) . c. Local Access In addition to the two existing local accesses, the Project is proposing a third access which will be a new underpass through the railroad trestle, providing one-way-in and one-way-out traffic pattern exclusively for the Project, and for emergency or service vehicles. The new access will not be interrupted by railroad trains marshalling on the tracks, and provides a better angle of approach and more overhead clearance. At the time of this Assessment , a permit from Burlington Northern for the underpass is pending. Accord- ing to Burlington Northern officials , the company's current 57. policy is that no easement be granted to public or private agencies for crossing purposes . The permit would carry a thirty-day revocable clause, the same as that given to the City of Renton for residents of 'Ripley Lane North . (Permit No. 98198) . However, an easement was granted to the City of Renton for the existing underpass in 1967, however, it is uncertain whether the City accepted it as there is no city official 's signature showing o�nr t//he easement agreement. Bur- lincton Northern' s records show nolpermit or easement of any kinf was granted for the existing grade crossing now serving. Baxter Company and Misty Cove Apartments. It seems that both existing accesses have set a precedent that by virtue of use or a crossing permit , access by the railroad crossing permit should be considered permanent. Furthermore, Burlington Northern officials indicated that the permit could be revoked and a new permit granted if reconstruction of the railroad' bridge is required, which is very unlikely for the bridge was reconstructed in 1968.. Another reason for revocation , accord- ing to railroad officials , would be the abuse of railroad pro- perty by the grantee. Thus , the proposed Project will have sufficient access and provide additional access for emergency and service vehicles to the residents of the immediate area . d. Bicycle-Pedestrian Trails The proposed Project will cause no impact on the proposed Lake Washington (Renton) Trails. The .proposed Trail is to utilize the railroad right-of-way and provide access to Lake Washington through a now unused street end. In the vicinity of the pro- posed Project , the Trail will utilize the pedestrian walkway along the track on the railroad bridge and the now unused street end of North 52nd Street (they will not be effected by the Project) . 58. '.7. Utilities The proposed development with its 56 two-three bedroom units would consume approximately 1.4,000 gallons of water per day- , 22,400 KW-HR per month of electricity, and, if available, 4,480_ Therms per month of natural gas. An estimated 19,600 gallons per day of sewage would also be produced by the devel - opment. As previously stated in Section II , all utilities are provided to or near the Project site. Average water consumption for residents in Water District No. 107 is 7,500 gallons per month per household or 250 .gal/mon/house: 59 . . SECTION IV UNAVOIDABLE ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS The unavoidable adverse environmental impacts which have been identified would be of two types , short-term and long-term. Potential mitigation procedures which might lessen severity of these impacts also are dis- cussed. A. SHORT-TERM 1 . Construction Noise Noise from construction activities associated with the proposed action would create an unavoidable short-term impact. An esti mated noise level increase of 0 to 16 dBA would be felt by residents in the single-family homes to the north , and an in- crease ofll to 28 dBA would be felt by residents in the north half of the apartment complex (Misty Cove Apartment) south of the Project site for the duration of the construction period. (See Table III-2.) The temporary noise impact should be lessened by limiting the operation hours from 7 A.M. to 10 P.M. and by' taking the follow- ing mitigation measures when possible: a. Replacement of individual operations and techniques by less noisy ones... b.. Selecting quieter alternate items of equipment. c: Scheduling of equipment operation. to keep average noise levels low; to have noisiest operations coincide with times of highest ambient levels , and to keep noise levels rela- tively uniform in time; also, turning off idling equipment. d. Keeping. noisy equipment as far as possible from site's south boundary.. 60. The above measures could result in noise level abatement of potentially 1 to 18 dBA, depending on the type of equipment. (See Table III-3.) 2. Dust Dust from construction activities will increase particulate concentration, particularly during site clearing and road grading phases. Control strategies and techniques should be employed to minimize these expected increases . The following strategies are expected to be utilized to reduce dust : a. Regulation of refuse burning. b. Watering of the area during potentially dusty phases . c. Soil stabilization and paving to prevent wind transport of soil particles. d. Utilizing on-site fill material to minimize transportation of dirt from and to the site. 3. Construction Traffic Construction related vehicles and, transporting of heavy equipment and materials •to the site would alter traffic flow in the area during the construction period. In mitigation scheduling the use of equipment should be done to minimize the unnecessary transportation of this equipment to and from the site. Slow moving or bulky vehicles should be scheduled to .avoid peak commuter hours . Temporary off-street parking should be pro- vided for construction crews before a permanent parking area is constructed: 61 . 4. Soil Siltation The presence of an upper unit of tan to gray soft silt containing organic matter over most of the site suggests that excavation into these soils during excessive rainy periods will produce siltation of the runoff . The use of fill material would also contribute to the. severity of the siltation. Control of runoff during construc- tion can be achieved by the following mitigation measures. a. Provide retention ponds or retention boxes so that the larger. non-colloidal silts could settle out before discharge. b. Contour plowing or ditching adjacent to construction area, and at the same time, the flat gradients of such measures would limit the erosive capabilities of the runoff . 62. B. LONG-TERM 1 . Vegetation Removal The construction of the Project will require the removal of most of the ground cover, shrubs and red alders existing on the site. To minimize the loss of desirable trees and shrubs , siting of structures should be carefully planned. In mitigation, street tree planting, ground cover seeding and other landscaping should be undertaken to replace vegetation losses. 2. Increase in Traffic Volume An estimated maximum traffic increase of 560 ADT caused by the residents of the Project when fully occupied will have an adverse long-term effect. However , the proposed new underpass will all but preclude any adverse effect on the existing underpass and grade crossing. The impact on the freeway traffic will be substantially lessened when shopping facilities are provided at the commercial area near the Interchange. 3• Increased Demand on Utilities and Other Public Facilities , The existing utilities and school system are adequately sized to handle the increased demands of the proposed Project. How- ever, these will be commitments and would have indi - rect impact on the utilities and school system. 63 . 4. View Impairment Any increase in height or width of existing structures on the site will reduce views. Proposed structures , with a maximum building height of 35 feet, would cause a 1 .67 percent view impairment on the total potential lake view now available to the five homes on the slope to the east of the freeway. (Appendix E and Section III) . 64. SECTION V ALTERNATIVES TO PROPOSED ACTION The major objective of this Project is to provide high quality multiple family housing for above-average income residents, and, at the same time, achieve the following: 1 . Produce a development which would be better than that resulting from the traditional lot by lot development. 2. Provide a desirable and stable environment in harmony with that of the surrounding area. 3. Take a more creative approach in the development of land , which will result in a more efficient, aesthetic and desirable use of open areas.. S 4. Optimize regulated public access to and along the shorelines , consistent with private property rights . 5.. Encourage water-related recreational activities . 6. Take advantage of the flexibility in design, placement of build- ings , use of open space, circulation facilities , off-street park.- ing areas , and to best utilize the potentials of the site, char- acterizedby special features of water orientation, view., geog- raphy, size, shape and surrounding environment. The above mentioned objectives would minimize the severity of adverse impact on the environment. 65. A. DESIGN ALTERNATIVES Several design alternatives that would achieve the same density as that of the proposed action and under the same proposed R-3 zoning district were considered. 1 . Design Alternative This design alternative consists of 56 milti-family dwelling . units , all in three-story structures , with half of the parking stalls under the structures. This design would have a land coverage of 33 percent and leave 51 percentof land .ih open space. This alternative was rejected for the following reasons : a. The design would reach the maximum building height of 40 feet allowed in R-3 zone, and need greater building width. This would create bulkier structures. b. The structures would cause relatively greater view impair- ment to the residents on the slopes to the east of the. freeway. A 14.4 percent view impairment could be expected instead of 8.2 percent impairment caused by a 35 foot build- ing height. (See Appendix E.) 2. Design Alternative II This design alternative. consists. of 56 milti -family dwelling units all in two-story structures . Half of the parking stalls are to be under covered parking structures . This design would have a land coverage of 43 percent and leave 33 percent in open space. This alternative was rejected for the following reasons : a. .' Percentage of coverage exceeds that allowed in R-3 zone. b. The design would have substantially less open space. 66. . 3. Design Alternative III This design alternative is discussed in detail in Section I - The Proposed Action , and was adopted after weighing the advan- tages and disadvantages of each of the three design alternatives . B. ALTERNATIVE USE OF LAND Consideration was given to alternative uses of the land which would achieve a different density than that of the proposed action and land use other than residential . 1 . High Density Multi-Family This alternative would utilize the Project site for "residential uses allowing the maximum number of dwelling units , the maximum number of stories , and the maximum proportion of land area cover- age permitted in the City." (21) The alternative would require a R-4 zoning which allows 117.6 DU/Ac (2 bedroom) or a total of 420. D.U. 's. in the Project. This alternative was rejected for the following reasons: a. Six-story structures with a maximum height of 95 feet will cause substantial view obstruction to the residents east of the freeway: b... The high rise structures would also drastically change the profile of the lake shore. c. :. In order to meet the parking requirements , this alternative will leave virtually, no open. space.. (21)Renton Urban Area - Comprehensive. Plan, revised.March. 1972. . 67. d. Density proposed will not comply with the Comprehensive Plan. e. The alternative will drastically increase the population density of the area. 2. Medium Density Multi-Fami-ly This alternative is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and utilizes the site for "residential uses allowing a maximum of 73 dwelling units per gross acre, a maximum of 3 stories , and a maxi - mum of 45 percent of the land area developed."(21 ) This would require a R-3 zoning with special provision for 45 percent land area coverage, and thus. allow 47 DU/Ac (2 bedroom) , or a total of 168 D.U. ' s in the Project. The alternative was revised to, stay within the provisions of R-3 zone and produced the three design alternatives previously discussed. This alternative without any revisions was rejected for the following reasons : a. . The maximum allowable building height of 40 feet would be reached and a greater building width is inevitable, and thus , create bulkier structures. b. The structures will cause relatively greater view impairment to the up-slope residents to the east. c. . In order to meet parking requirements , the alternative will leave very little open .'space. d. The alternative will increase population density of the site to higher than that of Misty Cove which is in R-4 zone. .. 68. 3. Low Density Multi-Family This alternative will have a lower density than that proposed in the Comprehensive Plan, and utilize the site for "two-family dwellings , provided that the maximum building area does not exceed 45 percent of the land area."(21) This would require a R-2 zone if land area coverage does not exceed 35 percent. Under the provisions of R-2 zoning , the alternative would have a density of 15.24 DU/Ac (2 bedroom) , or a total of 54 .units in the Project. This density is virtually that of the proposed action , except that maximum building height will be restricted to two-story or 25 feet. This alternative was rejected for the following reasons : a. The alternative would not achieve the objectives of the proposed action. b. The natural character of the site would be ignored. c. Open space would be in 27 separated ownerships , thus less usable. d. Recreation facilities would virtually non-exist. e. In order to resolve the above disadvantages , a special permit is required to allow Planned Unit Development. Special permit procedure is the same as a change of zone, thus , a double change of zone procedure would be required to mitigate the above mentioned disadvantages created by a R-2 zone. ' f. If a special permit is granted , due to the height limitation , greater land area coverage would be required. g. ' Wider spread of structures will also result , thus, limiting the usefulness of the open space. 69. 4. Single-Family This alternative is in conformance with existing zoning and will utilize the site "to be occupied by a single family dwelling unit or related compatible uses. "(21 ) In G-6000 zone, all provisions set forth in R-1 zone applies with the exception of minimum lot size. Under these provisions , the alternative could have a potential density of 7.26 DU/Ac, or a total of 26 single-family lots . The Projectsite is within a plat known as "The Plat of C. D. Hillman's Lake Washington Garden of Eden Addition to Seattle Division No. 3" filed for record at request of C. D. Hillman October 21 , 1904 and recorded in Volume 11 of Plats , Page 81 Records of King County, Washington. The Project site consist of Lots 1 to 18 Block D of said Plat. All lots in the existing plat have a width of 30 feet, which" is. less than the minimum width required', thus , resubdividing may be necessary. The only public access now existing is the unimproved street end of North 52nd Street to the north , thus , a dedicated public street may be required to provide public access to the lots . This alternative was rejected for the following reasons in addi - tion to those mentioned, in the previous alternative (low density multi -family) :: a. A less efficient utilization of land due to the dedication of public right-of-way and the cul -de-sac required for turn around.. b., Provides no transition zone between higher density apartment use and single-family uses . 70• 5. Open Space and Park Land In a letter dated June 27, 1967, the Director of the Parks and Recreation Department stated that the Renton Park Board was interested in retaining the northern portion of the Project site for recreational purposes and were also interested in adding to this area , if possible, as well as adding to the Lake Washington Beach property in a northerly direction, to provide the then needed water front for public recreation.. However, no further interest was expressed. Subsequent to the letter, additional water front (one mile long) property north of Lake Washington .Beach was purchased for public recrea- tion; thus, the City of Renton has no plans for acquiring addi - tional water front property in the foreseeable future. Further- more, the access limitation imposed on the site by the railroad would restrict the usefulness of the property for recreational use: by the general public. C. NO ACTION . No action implies continuation of the site in its present condition. In this case , residents in the three occupied homes will remain , and the other unoccupied .structures and the mostly vacant site would create the following problems ; 1 . Deterioration of Property Without incentive, the present owner(s) of the property will not maintain the vacant site. The littering problem which now exists will get worse, and continued deterioration of the property and its surrounding properties would be inevitable. 71 . . 2. Deterioration of Structures The deterioration of those unoccupied structures. will continue. They have been and will continue to be a safety and fire hazard. 3. , Health and Safety Hazards. Without proper maintenance and control , . the ever increasing debris and refuse will certainly pollute the lake and become a health hazard to the neighboring residents. The shoreline portion of the property, without proper supervision, is and will continue to be a .safety hazard for children in the area . Abandoned .struc- tures 'and unattended ground are also inviting to criminal activities . 4. Devaluation of. Surrounding Properties Due to the above conditions , the devaluation of the surrounding ' properties would certainly occur. 5. Erosion and Siltation The drainage ditch now existing on the site will continuously erode the land and carry silts into the lake: 6. Financial Loss. to Property Owners In addition to the loss of revenue that may be generated by the proposed action , taxes on the unproductive property would . be a constant financial drain to the owners: 72. ' SECTION VI RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOCAL SHORT-TERM USES AND .THE MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENT OF LONG-TERM PRODUCTIVITY The proposed Project site and its. surrounding area are committed to residential use by the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning. Multi - family and single-family residential development have occurred on most properties around the site. The proposed action is a project that is - compatible with the City's current land use plan for the site. The development of the proposed Project would restrict a change in the use of .two acres of land-for approximately fifty years , which is the estimated useful life span of the structures, (I .R.S. Bulletin F.).. barringa major demolition effort or a major catastrophe. The probability of the site and its surrounding area changing to less intensive land use . than residential is remote. The development should not be considered as temporary in nature. If for some reason it is decided that the site physically occupied by the Pro- ject is more valuable for another purpose, however, the structures could be demolished and the site restored close to its condition prior to any construction (except the existing structures to be relocated or demolished) , provided that the then property owners ' consent is. obtained. The construction of the..Project,would provide approximately one to two', years employment for ten full- and part-time workers , and an estimated payroll of $900,.000.. In addition to the employment generated by the construction, the completion of the Project would add 56 high quality dwelling units to the City's tax roll . The transaction of ownerships of these units would also generate excise tax, along with the employment. opportunities for real estate related workers. 73 ; The cost of delay in carrying out the proposed action would be mainly contributed by inflation and the possible interest rate increase on construction loans. Improvement costs would also be higher due to further deterioration of the property. 74. SECTION VII IRREVERSIBLE AND IRRETRIEVABLE COMMITMENT OF RESOURCES Development of the proposed action would allow a permanent and irrever- sible alternation of approximately two acres of land. This alternation would consist of 56 multi -family dwelling units on the land permitted by a R-3 zoning of the site. It should be considered permanent for at least the fifty year life span of . the structures. Modification of the struc- tures is possible , however , the committed land use would be irreversible and its undesirable consequence would not be altered to any great extent. Most of the material used for the construction of the Project should be considered irretrievable, at least not to its full usefulness . The use and the maintenance of the dwelling units will require a long-term com- mitment of energy resources , water resources , waste treatment facilities , landscaping materials , fertilizer and certain amounts of monetary commit- ment. 75. .

WASH. 9B1D1 •' April 4, 1974 41 Citizens Service Corp 201 Williams Ave South Renton, Washington Attention: Mr. Ross Woodward J Re: Soils and Foundation Investigation for Proposed Condominiums, near Ripley Lane North, Renton , Washington I. Gentlemen: At your request we have conducted a soils and foundation investiga-- tion for a proposed. condominium project to be located near Ripley Lane on Lake Washington, Renton, Washington. We submit herewith a report of our findings, conclusions and recommendations. Site Description The proposed site is a relatively level , irregularly shaped tract of land, bounded on the east by the I. Burlington Northern Railway right-of-way, .on the west by Lake Washington, on the south by the Misty Cove Apartments, and the north by the N 52nd St [Renton] right-of-way. Three occupied houses and two abandoned structures are located on the southern ' portion of the property , and one abandoned shack on the north . The site is open, covered with grass, and has a few stands of 11 alder in the northwest corner. A drainage ditch crosses the northern portion of the site to the lake. Soil exposures are of brown organic silt in most areas, and imported fill [sandy gravelly silt] along the east boundary, City of Renton, where a sanitary sewer was recently installed. 41 Subsurface P Sbf Ex loration In order to ascertain the soil condi- tions at the site, four test borings were made using a track- mounted -hollow stem power auger. Locations of borings are shown . in Fig. 1 , attached. Samples were taken at 5-foot intervals using the Standard Penetration Test, in which a 2-inch 0D split spoon sampler is driven into the formation by repeated blows of a 140-lb pin-guided hammer Falling 30 inches. The number of blows required to drive the sampler a given distance is a measure of the soil consistency. Subsurface Conditions Five principal soil units were encountered at the site, these are described briefly as follows: • i nit Ell • OM pa um 0111111 M. IIIII MINI• _ we um doom mi. Ern mg _ Citizens Service Corp April 4, 1974 Page 2 1 . An upper unit of tan to gray soft silt containing organic matter covers most of the site to a depth of 4 to 6 feet. 2. Beneath the silt unit [and exposed at the surface near the lake at the north end of the site] is a unit of red-brown soft fibrous peat. It varies in thickness from 18% feet in the north to less than a foot in the southwest. 3. Beneath the peat in the easterly part of the site is a unit of gray moderately loose silty sand and silt , 6 feet in thickness. 4. In the southwest corner of the site, the peat unit and silty sand unit appear to interfinger with a unit of very soft gray to brown organic silt whose thickness varies from 28% feet in the southwest to 12% feet toward the north. 5. The lowermost unit encountered is a dense gray, silty sand and gravel with hard silt layers. It was encountered at a depth of 15 to 20 feet in the easterly part of the site and 30 to 35 feet in the westerly part. Logs of the test borings were combined with logs from previous borings in the vicinity and topographic information to construct three geologic sections through the site; these are shown in Figs. 1 through 3, attached. Groundwater was encountered at a depth of 2% to 9% feet below ground surface, approximately at the level of Lake Washington. Conclusions and Recommendations On the basis of our studies at this site we draw the following principal conclusions: 1 . All major structural loads must be transferred directly to the dense sand/gravel unit which underlies the site at a depth of 15 to 35 feet. This can best be accomplished by means of driven piling, preferably of displacement type. 111 2. The upper silt unit in the southern portion of the site may be used to support light-weight non-settlement critical structures. Bearing pressures to be used in this soil unit will be governed in part by the magnitude and flexibility of the proposed struc- tures. 3. Parking areas and driveways may be constructed on fills placed over existing surface soils, Where these are of inorganic or partly organic composition. Portions of the project site in which peat is exposed at ground surface [northwest quadrant) could also receive fill ; however, the precautions which must be ' ;invoked to offset the effects of compression of the thick unit of soft peat are i • Citizens Services Corp April 4, 1974 Page 3 such that this area could better be used more economically as as open space. 4. Settlement of parking areas and driveways can be controlled by preloading accomplished in conjunction with filling of the site. The details of the earthwork procedure will be dependent on variations in thickness of the grossly compressible soil units. We recommend that a detailed exploration of: the upper soil horizons be made prior to undertaking this phase of the project. 5. Care must be exercised during the site preparation phase of the project to prevent erosion of fill and siltation of the I! adjacent lake waters. We anticipate,, however , that with final paving and landscaping of the project, no future exposure to siltation would exist. Concentrated discharge of storm water into Lake Washington should, of coyrse, be provided with closed conduit or lined ditches to avoid erosion. S. Recommendations for aseismic design of proposed structures will be provided at. a later date, when structure types and loadings are known. The site itself presents no natural hazards (e. g. , landslide or liquefaction potential ] from seismic activity. We shall be pleased to provide such additional assistance and consultation as you might need;: in formulating further plans for this project. t "ta Very truly yours, as �<�ce NEIL H.

APPENDIX E VIEW IMPAIRMENT STUDY APPENDIX E VIEW IMPAIRMENT STUDY When a view condition exists , any introduction of a structure or build- ing will have an impact on the view condition. As this proposed devel- opment is on the shore of Lake Washington, with a sloping terrain rising eastward from the site, a water view condition does exist along this slope. Impairment to a view condition will result when any structure is built. The extent of the view impairment is dependent upon the height and/or the width of the structure and the proximity of the viewer to the pro- posed building. In this anaylsis , the existing dwellings above Lake Washington Boulevard N.E. were used as 'the control view points. The results given herein are an average of these points as the individual values did not vary sub- stantially from each other. . . From the average view point , the total horizontal angle of view was de- termined by use of an aerial topographic map flown March 6,. 1973 at a _ scale of 1" = 50 feet , with a two foot contour interval . The total hori- zontal angle of view is that angle formed at the focal point for the full width of the property development less the width of the existing obstruc- tion caused by the Misty Cove Apartments which lies immediately south of the proposed site. (See Figure' E-1 ) Any impairment due to natural vegetation has been disregarded. For practicality, a theoretical view base was assumed to lie in a hori - zontal plane between the eas.t,or Renton , shoreline and the west , or Mercer Island, shoreline of Lake Washington. The total vertical angle of view was established as lying between these limits. The control of the view criteria was thus established as being a hori- zontal and a vertical angle from a subject focal point through a sight distance to a view object. The focal point was established as being at each dwelling at a height of five (5) feet more or less from the ground floor elevation. The sight distance is that distance from the focal point to the object being viewed. Profiles were determined: from the existing dwellings above the proposed development to. the east shore of Lake Washington. A straight line of sight from the focal point of each dwelling to the east shore was es- tablished as zero degree (0°) line. The total vertical angle of view to the Mercer Island shoreline was determined to be plus (+) three and one-half degrees (3-1/2°) . This angle was found to be approximately the same for all dwellings. The sight distances were determined as 1 , 100 feet more or less to the east shore and 4,300 feet more or less to the Mercer Island shore. (See FiguresE-1 and E-2. ) An impairment angle is the angle formed by the extreme ends of the obstructive object with the vertex being at the focal point. The hori- zontal impairment angle is set by the width of the object and the ver- tical impairment angle is set by the height of the object. The horizontal and vertical impairment angles were determined from each subject focal point to the proposed structures and also to the exist- . ing Misty Cove Apartments. Again, the impairment angles from each dwelling were sufficiently close to allow an average value to be 'used in determining the view limitation area. 2 Using the above criterion as a guide, percentage figures can be deter- mined as to total present view area and potential impairment due to the proposed construction. (See Figure E-3.) The area of lake surface which will be impaired from view due to the proposed development is shown in Figure E-4. The total view area used in this analysis is a portion of the total view available to the dwellings under construction , and is only that portion of the lake lying within the view analysis sector shown in Figure E-3. The total view available to the subject dwellings is limited by the topography of the surrounding land. The horizontal view approaches 118 degrees , more or less , and the vertical view encompasses Mercer Island and the sky above. When approached in this manner, the view limitation percentage decreases sharply due to the increase in total view area considered. The total view area of 24° horizontal angle used in this analysis is thus 24/118 or 20.34 percent of the avail- able horizontal view angle. This would then reduce the 8.2 percent impairment to 1 .67 percent of total available view area. The view limitation area as determined herein is considered a maximum impairment due to the assumption that the proposed buildings will cover the total width of the site, when, in fact , they will not.

FIGURE VIEW IMPAIRMENT - SUMMARY SHEET Under the present conditions, two separate segments of the view condition exist. One is the present impairment due to the existing apartment house structure of Misty Cove. The second is the proposed structures of Lake Washington Shores. The Misty Cove Apartment building, which was built right at the lake shore with a four-story height of 40 + feet , overshadows any view impair- ment resulting from the proposed structures for sector two, as shown on Figure E-2. Therefore, a separate analysis is presented for comparison purposes. Three major assumptions are made in this analysis for ease of presenta- tion. These are: (1 ) that no consideration is given to natural vege- tation as an impairment to the view condition; (2) the surface of Lake Washington lying within the view sectors shown is the only view condi - tion under consideration; and (3) due to the fact that no substantial value variations exist between the dwellings considered as view points , an average view point or focal point was used. The results of this analysis for the two sectors shown in Figure E-2 are as follows: The present view impairment from the existing Misty Cove Apart- ment building covers approximately 261 ,000. square feet of lake surface to a distance of 825 feet more or less outward from the Renton shoreline. With a total considered view area of 1 ,809,500 + square feet, this is an impairment of 14-1/2 percent. 8 The potential view impairment from the proposed Lake Washington Shores will cover approximately 296 ,000 square feet of lake sur- face to a distance of 520 feet more or less outward from the Renton shoreline. With a total considered view area of 3,619,000 + square feet, this is an impairment of 8 percent. 9 • n , A ' = 0 I.I r2 n Misty Cove Apt. : n = 12° , 3 0 = 0.03333333 n Lk.
