RE: My client Pointe Heron LLC's Grade and Fill Permit application for a proposed filling,
excavation, and grading project within a 14.12-acre project site portion of Lot I of the SR
900 L.L.C. Lot Line Adjustment (Rec.# 20040311900015)-LUAl5-000039
(1) Request for a Modification Concerning the Proposed 1.SH:IV South-Edge Fill
Slope and (2) Justification for the Modification Request
Dear Mr. Vincent and Ms. Dolbee:
In my August 18, 2014 letter to your attention, Ms. Dolbee, concerning my client Pointe
Heron LLC's Grade and Fill Permit application (a copy of which letter, along with all of the
exhibits attached thereto, is attached to this letter as Appendix I), as you will recall, I (I)
summarized the existing fill slopes on the subject parcel and on the abutting property to the west
[ and explained the lack of existing "Protected Slopes" within the project site in view of RMC 4-
3-050Jl a(i)], (2) summarized the proposed fill slopes within the proposed Grade and Fill Permit
project site, and (3) explained why the proposed fill slopes should be approved by the City
without either a modification or a variance. During the November 3, 2014 meeting that my
client's representatives and I had with both of you and with Planning Director Jennifer Henning
and Associate Planner Clark Close, you explained to me and my clients that (a) you agreed with
my August 18, 2014 letter's analysis that there are no existing "Protected Slopes" within the
subject project site but (b) my client needed to submit a request for a variance for the portions of
the proposed slopes that would be steeper than 40 percent with a height of 15 feet or greater.
For the reasons set forth in my above-referenced August 18, 2014 letter, my clients and I
continue to maintain that neither a modification [ which may be granted per RMC 4-9-250D I for
one of the circumstances listed in RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii) (Geologic Hazards -Modifications)] nor
a variance is needed for the portions of the proposed 1.5H: IV south-edge fill slope that would be
steeper than 40 percent with a height of 15 feet or greater. Nevertheless, as explained in detail in
this letter, in view of RMC 4-4-060N6 and other applicable code criteria discussed in this letter,
City of Renton Department of Community and Economic Development
Attn: Chip Vincent, Administrator, and Vanessa Dolbee, Planning Division Manager
June 1, 2015
Page 2
the fill slope portion of the proposal qualifies for a modification per RMC 4-9-250D I for at least
one of the circumstances listed in RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii) (Geologic Hazards -Modifications), a
modification that will fully resolve the maximum slope issue stemming from RMC 4-4-060N6's
second sentence). Accordingly, by this letter my client Pointe Heron LLC hereby respectfully
requests a modification per RMC 4-9-250D I for the proposed fill slopes that are proposed to be
steeper than 40 percent with a height of 15 feet or greater.
Note that my client and I continue to contend that no variance is necessary for the
proposal. However, because of your insistence that a variance application needed to be
submitted, Pointe Heron LLC has already submitted to the City a request for a variance under
Subsection 8.5 of RMC Section 4-9-250 by means of a letter from me to CED (with supporting
attachments) dated April 24, 2015.
On Pointe Heron LLC's behalf, I hereby request that:
(I) The City process both the modification request and the variance request
along with the application for the requested special grade and fill permit
and
(2) The Hearing Examiner render pursuant to RMC 4-8-080C 1 (Optional
Process Resulting in a Single Open Record Public Hearing) and/or RMC
4-8-080C2 (Review Authority for Multiple Permit Applications) and the
table set forth as RMC 4-8-0800 (LAND USE PERMIT PROCEDURES)
the decisions for the requested modification, the requested variance, and
the requested special grade and fill permit.
The remainder of this letter constitutes Pointe Heron LLC 's justification for the requested
modification. (Note that this letter and its attachments supersede my January 20, 2015
modification request letter and its attachments.)
Renton Code Background Regarding Fill Slopes and
Modifications Concerning Fill Slopes Steeper Than 40 Percent
RMC 4-4-060N's Maximum Fill Slope Paragraph
Subsection N (FILLS) of RMC Section 4-4-060 (GRADING, EXCAVATION AND
MINING REGULA TIO NS) specifically addresses the subject of proposed fills. Paragraph 6
(Maximum Slope) of RMC 4-4-060N addresses proposed fill slopes and contains an express
exception to a prohibition on approval of the creation of permanent slopes forty percent ( 40%) or
greater which are fifteen feet (15') in height when a modification is granted per RMC 4-9-250DI
for one of the circumstances listed in RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii) (Geologic Hazards -Modifications).
Paragraph 6 (Maximum Slope) ofRMC 4-4-060N states:
City of Renton Department of Community and Economic Development
Attn: Chip Vincent, Administrator, and Vanessa Dolbee, Planning Division Manager
June I, 2015
Page 3
6. Maximum Slope: The slope of fill surfaces shall be no steeper than is safe for
the intended use. Except in conjunction with a modification granted per RMC 4-9-
250D I for one of the circumstances listed in RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii) (Geologic
Hazards -Modifications), fill operations associated with a plat, short plat,
subdivision or dedication, or other permitted land development activity which
would result in the creation of permanent slopes forty percent ( 40%) or greater
which are fifteen feet (15') in height, i.e., protected slopes, shall not be approved.
(Amd. Ord. 4835, 3-27-2000)
(Boldfacing in the code text; italics and underlining added.)
The Code Provisions Relating to Modifications That
Are Cited in RMC 4-4-060N's Maximum Slope
Paragraph, and Pointe Heron LLC's Qualification
to Request a Modification Thereunder
Two code provisions relating to modifications are cited in RMC 4-4-060N6 (Maximum
Slope). The first one, RMC 4-9-250Dl, states:
1. Application Time and Decision Authority: Modification from standards,
either in whole or in part, shall be subject to review and decision by the
Planning/Building/Public Works Department upon submittal in writing of
jurisdiction for such modification. (Amd. Ord. 4 777, 4-19-1999)
The second one, RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii) (Geologic Hazards -Modifications), sets forth
both (I) the circumstances and activities in which an applicant may request a geologic hazard
modification and (2) the applicable procedures in regard to the requested activities for such
modification. RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii) states:
ii. Geologic Hazards -Modifications: An applicant may request that the
Administrator grant a modification to allow:
(a) Regrading of any slope which was created through previous mineral
and natural resource recovery activities or was created prior to adoption of
applicable mineral and natural resource recovery regulations or through 1
public or private road installation or widening and related transportation
1 In Webster "s Third New International Dictionary of the English language Unabridged, ( copyright 2002 by
Merriam Webster, Incorporated), definition 2c of the listing of the word "through" as a preposition is "as a
result of." In the context and sense in which "through" is used throughout above-and below-quoted
paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) ofRMC 4-3-050N2a(ii), that "as a result of' definition seems to be the most logical
and fitting of the definitions of "through" offered in that dictionary in regard to the use of "through" as a
preposition.

improvements, railroad track installation or improvement, or public or
private utility installation activities;
(b) Filling against the toe of a natural rock wall or rock wall created
through mineral and natural resource recovery activities or through public
or private road installation or widening and related transportation
improvements, railroad track installation or improvement or public or
private utility installation activities; and/or
( c) Grading to the extent that it eliminates all or portions of a mound or to
allow reconfiguration o( protected slopes created through mineral and
natural resource recovery activities or public or private road installation
or widening and related transportation improvements, railroad track
installation or improvement, or public or private utility installation
activities.
The following procedures shall apply to any of the above activities:
(]) The applicant shall submit a geotechnical report describing any
potential impacts of the proposed regrading and any necessary mitigation
measures;
(2) All submitted reports shall be independently reviewed by qualified
specialists selected by the City at the applicant's expense;
(3) The Department Administrator may grant, condition, or deny the
request based upon the proposal's compliance with the applicable
modification criteria of RMC 4-9-250D; and
(4) Any slope which remains forty percent (40%) or steeper following site
development shall be subject to all applicable geologic hazard regulations
for steep slopes and landslide hazards, in this Section.
(5) In addition to the criteria o(RMC 4-9-250D. Modification Procedures,
the following criteria shall apply: The proposed modification is based on
consideration of the best available science as described in WAC 365-195-
905; or where there is an absence of valid scientific information, the steps
in RMC 4-9-250F are followed.
(Boldfacing in the code text; italics and underlining added.) Note that, in view of the
grammatical structure of above-quoted paragraphs (a) and (c) of RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii)
(especially the use of the disjunctive word "or" in each of those two paragraphs), nothing in
either of those two above-quoted paragraphs ties the phrase "public or private road installation or
City of Renton Department of Community and Economic Development

June 1,2015
Page 5
widening and related transportation improvements" or the phrase "private utility installation
activities" used in each of those two paragraphs to the phrase "mineral and natural resource
recovery activities" used in each of those two paragraphs.
In view of the phrase "private utility installation activities" that appears in each of
paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of above-quoted RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii), note that the definition of
"utilities" in RMC 4-11-210 (DEFINITIONS U) states:
UTILITIES: Utility lines and facilities related to the prov1s10n, distribution,
collection, transmission or disposal of water, storm and sanitary sewage, oil, gas,
power, and telephone cable, and includes facilities for the generation of
electricity. This definition does not include sewage wastewater treatment plants,
wireless communication facilities, or solid waste disposal/recycling facilities.
(Boldfacing in the code text; italics and underlining added.) Because the phrase "facilities
related to" ( emphasis added) is used in that definition, that definition is very broad and certainly
encompasses each and every one of the seven Existing Sunset Bluff Private Utility Installations
that are summarized on pages 7 to 8, below.
Note also that RMC 4-7-190B (Utilities in Tracts) provides that stormwater ponds are
included within the meaning of the word "utilities." That provision states:
"Utilities, such a[s} stormwater vaults, ponds, or other structures, shall be
located within designated tracts."
(Emphasis added.) Thus, that provision provides further explicit code support for the conclusion

A. Background:
Commenced
Development
Summary of Site Work Performed as Part of the Previously
but Not Completed Sunset Bluff Residential Subdivision
The Pointe Heron Grade and Fill Permit project site lies within an approximately 14.12-
acre portion (the "Project Site" portion) of a 26.26-acre single parcel of land owned by Pointe
Heron LLC: namely, Lot 1 of the SR 900 L.L.C. Lot Line Adjustment (King County Recording
Number 20040311900015). A 65-lot residential subdivision contemplated by the previously
approved Sunset Bluff Preliminary Plat was designed to lie within that parcel. (An l l-inch-by-
17-inch reduced-size copy of that preliminary plat is attached as Appendix 2.)
Note that prior to the commencement of site work for the Sunset Bluff Residential
Subdivision development in 2005, the slopes in the southern half of the west part of the current
Project Site were relatively uniform. (See the predevelopment two-foot-interval elevation
contours that are depicted on Appendix 2, elevation contours with generally even spacing due to
the relatively uniform pre-Sunset Bluffpredevelopment slopes.)
In contrast, the Sunset Bluff site development work created areas with much steeper
slopes through the private utility installation activities for the Existing Sunset Bluff Private
Utility Installations, including areas within and adjacent to the southern half of the currently
proposed Grade and Fill Project Site. [See attached Appendix 3 (an 11-inch-by-17-inch color
map exhibit 2), Appendix 4 (a set of l l-inch-by-17-inch reduced-sized copies of Sheets I and 2 of
the Barghausen Topography Map, full-size versions of which were submitted to the City as part
of the subject Grade and Fill Permit application), and Sheets XI, X2, XS, and X6 of the six-sheet
set ofBarghausen cross-section exhibit sheets that accompany this letter as Appendix 5.3]. Note
that Appendix 3 and Appendix 4 generally depict in "bunches" more narrowly spaced elevation
contours than does Appendix 2 (such bunches reflecting the more steeply sloped areas that were
created by the Sunset Bluff site work). Those narrowly spaced contour bunches are separated by

copies of (a) a portion of Sheet I and (b) a portion of Sheet 2 of the Barghausen Topography Map for the
current filling, excavation, and grading project proposal. (Those Sheets I and 2 are attached as Appendix 4.)

that were constructed as part of the Sunset Bluff subdivision site development work), see attached Appendix 6 (for

more widely spaced elevation contours (with the more widely spaced contours reflecting the
more flatly sloped areas that were also created by the Sunset Bluff site work).
During the clearing, initial grading, and temporary erosion/sedimentation control
construction phase of the Sunset Bluff project, extensive initial filling, excavation, and grading
work was done. That work included creation of slopes (including steep slopes) in and adjacent
to the southern part of what is now the proposed filling, excavation, and grading Project Site.
Those slopes were created through private utility installation activities and private road
installation activities in connection with and adjacent to the following seven Sunset Bluff
facilities that were constructed:
(1) The "Sunset Bluff Stormwater Detention Pond" (which on attached
Appendix 3 is depicted and outlined in blue and has two associated
orange-shaded labels, each numbered with a "I" in a red circle);
(2) The "Detention Pond Maintenance Road" that serves the pond (a road that
is located to the west of the Sunset Bluff Stormwater Detention Pond and
is depicted on attached Appendix 3 with an associated orange-shaded label
numbered with a "2" in a red circle);
(3) The "Temporary Sediment Pond" constructed on the plateau area above
and to the east of the Sunset Bluff Stormwater Detention Pond (a
temporary sediment pond that is depicted on attached Appendix 3 with an
associated label numbered with a "3" in a red circle);
(4) The "Temporary Drainage Ditch/Swale" that is constructed along and near
the toe of both the west portion and the east portion of Existing Interim
Fill Slope I (as depicted and outlined in blue on attached Appendix 3 with
an associated orange-shaded label numbered with a "4" in a red circle near
each of those two portions of the ditch/swale ), a ditch/swale that drains
into the north part of the Temporary Sediment Pond;
(5) The "Temporary Drainage Ditch/Swale" constructed near the toe of
Existing Interim Fill Slope 2 (as depicted on attached Appendix 3 with an
associated orange-shaded label numbered with a "5" in a red circle), a
ditch/swale that drains into the south part of the existing Temporary
Sediment Pond;
(6) "Access Road 1 to Temporary Sediment Pond Lying East of Sunset Bluff
Storm water Detention Pond" ( an access road that is depicted on attached
Appendix 3 with a "6" in a red circle near each of two associated labels
referring to Access Road I); and

[In this letter, (a) all seven of those existing storm water-control-related facilities are collectively
referred to as "Existing Sunset Bluff Private Utility Installations" and (b) the Detention Pond
Maintenance Road, Access Road I, and Access Road 2 are, in addition to being three of the
Existing Sunset Bluff Private Utility Installations, collectively referred to as "Existing Sunset
Bluff Private Road Installations."]
8. The Proposed Filling and Grading of the Project Site Contemplates
Regrading/Reconfiguring of Existing Slopes Created through Private Road and
Utilities Installation Activities and through Private Road Installation Activities
to Achieve an Overall l.SH:1 V Fill Slope along the Site's South Edge Generally
Higher Than 15 Feet.
Pointe Heron LLC's overall filling, excavation, and grading proposal is (1) described
(under the heading "Proposed use of the property and scope of the development") on pages 9
through 12 of the Project Narrative submitted to the City as part of the Grade and Fill Permit
application (a copy of that Project Narrative is attached to this letter as Appendix 7) and (2)
depicted on the August 2014 IO-sheet set of the Grading, Interim Drainage, E.S.C., and
Rehabilitation Plans for the proposal prepared by Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc. also
submitted as part of the Grade and Fill Permit application (the "Barghausen Grading Plans," an
l l -inch-by-17-inch reduced-size set of which is attached to this letter as Appendix 8).
Of special relevance to the requested modification is the proposed
regrading/reconfiguring of existing slopes (slopes that had been created on Lot I as part of
Sunset Bluff project construction) in order to create the now-proposed I.SH: IV engineered fill
slope [i.e., a proposed slope of approximately sixty-seven percent (67%)] using controlled
aggregate material and geogrid reinforcing, a slope that almost in its entirety will exceed fifteen
feet (15') in height. A cross-sectional view of the proposed slope's design prepared by ESNW
and attached to the Soil Engineering Report as Plate 3 (see Appendix 9 for a copy of Plate 3)
schematically depicts the slope's planned design. Plate 3 does all of the following:
(I) It illustrates the proposed "buttress fill" zone along the fill's face (note that
the specification of the buttress fill material set forth in the Soil
Engineering Report at page 4 indicates that the material is "equivalent to
coarse gravel and/or cobble"),
(2) It notes in the last of the bullet points in the plate's upper left-hand corner
that the "Buttress Fill shall taper from a minimum horizontal depth of 35
feet at base to 5 feet at top of slope" (which is a thick depth of buttress fill
City of Renton Department of Community and Economic Development

Page 9
material that gets progressively thicker toward the slope's bottom, where
structural load will be the greatest),
(3) It illustrates the proposed "core structural fill" zone behind (i.e., to the
north of) the "buttress fill" zone, and
(4) It illustrates the proposed geogrid reinforcing of the subject slope's
proposed face.
Further, as can clearly be seen from an examination of (I) the plan view locations of
Cross Sections J-J through P-P on Barghausen's Phase 2 Cross Section Plan View Exhibit4 (i.e.,
on Sheets X3 and X4 of the six-sheet cross-section exhibit included as APPENDIX B to the Soil
Engineering Report and also included as Appendix 5 attached to this letter) in conjunction with
(2) the corresponding section view depictions of Cross Sections J-J through P-P on Barghausen
Sheets XS and X6 5 of the Appendix 5 cross-section exhibit, the proposed
regrading/reconfiguring of existing fill slopes created as part of the Sunset Bluff development
generally along a portion of Lot l's south edge will involve both
(!) Placement of fill against the Sunset Bluff Stormwater Detention Pond's
existing upper interior fill slopes (slopes that resulted from construction of
that pond) and against the west and east portions of Existing Interim Fill
Slope I [ a slope with both a west portion and an east portion that resulted
from construction of both (a) the Temporary Drainage Ditch/Swale along
and near the toe of both the west and east portions of Existing Interim Fill
Slope I and (b) Access Road I to Temporary Sediment Pond Lying East
of Sunset Bluff Stormwater Detention Pond-see either Appendix 3 or
Sheets I and 2 of the Appendix 4 Barghausen Topography Map, and see
Cross Sections M-M, N-N, and 0-0 on the attached Appendix 5
Barghausen Sheets X3, X4, XS, and X6], fill placement that will result in
a regraded/reconfigured I.SH: IV engineered fill slope along a portion of
the south edge of the Pointe Heron LLC parcel (with a top-of-slope
elevation of approximately 128 feet) between
(i) the existing I .SH: IV engineered fill slope to the west of the Sunset
Bluff Stormwater Detention Pond and

comprise Barghausen's Phase 2 Cross Section Plan View Exhibit) depict the same proposed elevations of the
Project Site as are depicted on Sheets ES and E6 of the Appendix 8 Barghausen Grading Plans.

comprise Barghausen's Phase 2 Cross Sections in section view.

(ii) the existing I.SH: IV engineered fill slope to the east of the Sunset
BluffStormwater Detention Pond and
(2) Upward I .SH: IV engineered fill slope extensions of both
(a) the existing south-edge I.SH:! V engineered fill slope lying to the
west of the existing stormwater pond [ as Cross Section P-P on the
attached Appendix 5 Barghausen Sheets X3 and X6 shows, this is
to include placement of fill against the existing fill slope on the
upper (north) side slope of the Detention Pond Maintenance Road,
a slope that resulted from both the Sunset Bluff Stormwater
Detention Pond construction and the Detention Pond Maintenance
Road construction] and
(b) the existing south-edge 1.5H: IV engineered fill slope lying to the
east of the existing stormwater pond [ as Appendix 3 and Sheet 2 of
the Appendix 4 Barghausen Topography Map combined with
Cross Sections K-K and L-L on the attached Appendix 5
Barghausen Sheets X4 and XS together show, this is to include
placement of fill against Existing Interim Fill Slope 2, which is a
steep fill slope that resulted from construction of both (i) the
Temporary Sediment Pond and (ii) the Temporary Ditch/Swale
along and near the toe of Existing Interim Fill Slope 2].
Note that this proposed activity of regrading/reconfiguring of existing fill slopes would
achieve a continuous top-of-fill-slope elevation of approximately 128 feet along the entire length
of the proposed south-edge fill slope. That top-of-fill-slope elevation would be just a few feet
higher than the proposed top elevation of the south edge of the proposed new stormwater
detention pond planned to be created at the north edge of the plateau portion of the Project Site
along much of the Project Site's north edge. The approximately 128-foot top-of-fill-slope
elevation will enable a gentle downward slope to be created to the north, enabling surface-water
runoff from the proposed plateau portion of the Project Site to drain into the new stormwater
detention pond.
In sum, in view of both (I) the proposed regrading/recontouring of existing fill slopes to
create the proposed I .SH: IV south-edge fill slopes that will exceed 15 feet in height and (2) the
factual circumstances that the existing slopes were created through private utility installation
activities (resulting in the seven Existing Sunset Bluff Private Utility Installations) and through
private road installation activities (resulting in the three Existing Sunset Bluff Private Road
Installations), the proposed fill slopes clearly fall within the circumstances of above-quoted
paragraphs (a) and (c) ofRMC 4-3-050N2a(ii).

That being the case, Pointe Heron LLC qualifies under RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii) to request
that the Administrator ( or, in this case, the Hearing Examiner~for the reasons cited on page 2,
above, and in the first paragraph of section IV on page 11, below) grant a modification to allow
the proposed regrading/reconfiguration of existing slopes for the creation of permanent fill slopes
that are to be forty percent ( 40%) or steeper in slope and fifteen feet (15') or more in height.
II. The Applicant Has Submitted a Detailed Geotechnical Report Describing Any
Potential Impacts of the Proposed Regrading/Reconfiguration of the South-Edge Fill
Slopes and Any Necessary Mitigation Measures as Called for by Procedure 1 of RMC
4-3-050N2a(ii).
See ESNW's August 13, 2014 Pointe Heron Geotechnical and Soil Engineering Report
submitted as part of Pointe Heron LLC's Grade and Fill Permit application, especially the
report's section under the heading "Critical Areas" that begins on page 15 and extends through
the top of page 36.
III. The Submitted Geotechnical and Soil Engineering Report Will Be Independently
Reviewed at the Applicant's Expense by Qualified Specialists Selected by the City as
Called for by Procedure 2 of RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii).
The applicant is willing to pay for an independent review of ESNW's Pointe Heron
Geotechnical and Soil Engineering Report by qualified specialists selected by the City.
IV. Because the Applicant's Proposal Complies with the Applicable Modification Criteria
of RMC 4-9-250D. in View of Both (A) Procedure 3 of RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii) and (B)
RMC 4-8-080Cl and 2 and RMC 4-8-0SOG the Hearing Examiner Should Grant
Pointe Heron LLC's Request for a Modification.
As noted near the middle of page 4, above, Procedure 3 of RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii) states
that "the Department Administrator may grant, condition, or deny the request based upon the
proposal's compliance with the applicable modification criteria of RMC 4-9-2500." (Italics
added.) However, in view of
(I) RMC 4-8-080C 1 (Optional Process Resulting in a Single Open Record
Public Hearing) and Pointe Heron LLC's request on page 2, above, that
the Hearing Examiner render the decisions for the requested modification,
the requested variance, and the requested special grade and fill permit,
(2) RMC 4-8-080C2 (Review Authority for Multiple Permit Applications),
and
(3) the table set forth as RMC 4-8-080G (LAND USE PERMIT
PROCEDURES),

in this case the Hearing Examiner is the appropriate official to make the decision on the
requested modification rather than the Department Administrator.
The modification criteria of RMC 4-9-250D are set forth in subsection 2 thereof as
follows:
2. Decision Criteria: Whenever there are practical difficulties involved in carrying
out the provisions of this Title, the Department Administrator may grant
modifications for individual cases provided he/she shall first find that a specific
reason makes the strict letter of this Code impractical, that the intent and
purpose of the governing land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan is
met and that the modification is in conformity with the intent and purpose of
this Code, and that such modification:
a. Substantially implements the policy direction of the policies and objectives of
the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and the Community Design Element
and the proposed modification is the minimum adjustment necessary to
implement these policies and objectives;
b. Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental
protection and maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon
sound engineering judgment;
c. Will not be injurious to other property(ies) in the vicinity;
d. Conforms to the intent and purpose of the Code;
e. Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended;
and
f. Will not create adverse impacts to other property(ies) in the vicinity. (Ord.

A. Explanation of (1) Practical Difficulties in Carrying Out the Provisions of the
Second Sentence of Paragraph 6 (Maximum Slope) of RMC 4-4-060N That the
Applicant Suffers and (2) Specific Reasons That Make the Strict Letter of RMC
4-4-060N Impractical, Reasons Stemming from Special Circumstances
Applicable to the Subject Parcel
As explained below, Pointe Heron LLC suffers practical difficulties in carrying out the
provisions of the second sentence of paragraph 6 (Maximum Slope) of RMC 4-4-060N and
specific reasons make the strict letter of RMC 4-4-060N impractical in view of a combination of
special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including, among other things, the
property's shape, topography, location, and surroundings.
In particular, special circumstances applicable to the subject parcel include, among
others, the following:
(1) The parcel's shape (highly irregular and long and narrow),
(2) The parcel's topography [including (a) areas of steep slopes and an
undulating ground surface across much of the subject parcel, (b) an
extensive, varying topographic elevation differential between Sunset
Boulevard's pavement surface to the north of the parcel and the parcel's
south boundary, and ( c) an intermittent stream, extensive areas of steep
slopes, and a Very High Landslide Hazard Area in the east part of the
parcel], and
(3) The parcel's location and surroundings [with a public street (Sunset
Boulevard-aka SR 900) lying adjacent only to the parcel's north side and
with certain streets extending north from Sunset Boulevard in locations
that limit the location of a future primary entrance street into the subject
parcel to a single location J.
These special circumstances leave the 26.26-acre subject parcel with the following practical
difficulties relating to Pointe Heron LLC's desire for future capital-intensive building
development of a portion of the subject parcel consistent with the parcel's IL zoning:
(a) Only a long, narrow 7.35-acre primary future developable area [an area
that, together with much of (i) an approximately 2.55-acre area for a future
approximately 1,664-foot-long entrance-street right-of-way and (ii) an
approximately 0.54-acre area for a future front yard setback along the
north edge of that future street right-of-way] would result from the
applicant's proposed fill and grade project surface elevations suitable for
future capital-intensive building development consistent with the subject
parcel's IL zoning-for more details, see (A) subsection IV.A.4 (which
City of Renton Department of Community and Economic Development
Attn: Chip Vincent, Administrator, and Vanessa Dolbee, Planning Division Manager

Page 14
begins on page 21, below), (B) footnote IO on pages 21 and 22, below,
and (C) subsection IV.A.7 (from pages 30 to 40, below)];
(b) The locations of(and the design elevation range of 125-to-128 feet of the
bulk of the area of) the above-mentioned primary future developable area,
adjacent future public street, and adjacent future front yard setback are all
essentially dictated by the special circumstances in combination-for
more details, see subsections IV .A.2 and IV .A.3 ( from pages 15 to 20,
below) and subsection IV .A.5 ( on pages 22 and 23, below); and
(c) Only a single viable location for a future primary entrance street into the
subject parcel (a future street contemplated to generally extend from
northeast to southwest into the subject parcel from abutting Sunset
Boulevard) and only a single viable location for an east-to-west extension
of that entrance street through the parcel to serve future development in
the planned primary future developable area-for more details, see
subsection IV.A.6 (from pages 23 to 29, below).
These special circumstances and these associated practical difficulties are discussed in more
detail below. Also discussed in detail below ( especially in subsection IV.A. 7-see pages 30 to
40, below) are specific reasons stemming from these special circumstances that make the strict
letter of RMC 4-4-060N impractical.
1. Explanation and Depiction of the Special Circumstances of (a) the Long,
Narrow, Irregularly Shaped Subject Parcel and (b) the Irregularly
Shaped Grade and Fill Project Site within a Portion of the Parcel
The subject parcel, which is Lot I of the SR 900 L.L.C. Lot Line Adjustment,6 is a long,
narrow parcel (more than half a mile long) with a highly irregular shape. The parcel's north edge
lies just south of a long segment of SW Sunset Boulevard. Most of that segment of Sunset
Boulevard consists of horizontal curves of varying radii. A very narrow open-space tract-Tract
A of the SR 900 L.L.C. Lot Line Adjustment-lies to the north of and abuts the westerly
combined 1,805.90-foot total length of the subject parcel's multiple north-boundary segments.
(Tract A varies in width from a minimum of 5.00 feet to a maximum of 31.00 feet.) The
remaining (easterly) series of the subject parcel's north-boundary segments (segments that are
coincident with segments of the Sunset Boulevard right-of-way's south boundary) have a
combined total length of 946.06 feet. The overall combined total length of all the subject
parcel's north-boundary segments is 2,751.96 feet. (The detailed geometry of both the subject
parcel and of Tract A is set forth on the reduced-size copy of the SR 900 L.L.C Lot Line
Adjustment that is attached to this letter as Appendix I 0.)
6 The SR 900 L.L.C. Lot Line Adjustment is recorded under King County Recording No. 20040311900015.

For an additional depiction of the subject parcel's overall layout, see attached Appendix
11, an l l-inch-by-17-inch color map exhibit that was created using as a base sheet an l l-inch-
by-17-inch reduction of the black-and-white Sheet El (the Cover Sheet) of the Appendix 8 I 0-
sheet set of Barghausen Grading Plans.
The irregularly shaped Grade and Fill Project Site [ which is also referred to in this letter
and in other portions of the Grade and Fill Permit application materials as the "Project Site" or
"Project Site (Work Area Limits)"] is yellow-shaded on the Appendix 11 map exhibit. That
color map exhibit illustrates that the Project Site encompasses much (although not all) of the
west part of the subject parcel.
In regard to the shape of what is referred to in this letter as the west part of the subject
parcel, note that all but the west 253.73 feet (a length that is comprised of two straight line
segments) of the westernmost approximately 1,607-foot total combined length of the subject
parcel's north-boundary segments (i.e., the segments that lie north of the Grade and Fill Project
Site and perpendicular to Sunset Boulevard) are comprised of curves. The south boundary of the
west part of the subject parcel also is comprised of curves. That part of the subject parcel's south
boundary is coincident with the north boundary of a long, curved segment of BNSF Railroad
right-of-way that involves three curves of differing radii-see the map exhibits set forth in
Appendix IO and Appendix 11. (An industrial railroad line is operated within that BNSF
Railroad right-of-way.)
In sum, the west part of the subject parcel (the part of the parcel within which the
irregularly shaped Grade and Fill Project Site lies) is sandwiched between the predominantly
curved Sunset Boulevard to the north and the curved BNSF Railroad right-of-way to the south.
Because the railroad right-of-way curves are not concentric with the Tract A and Sunset
Boulevard right-of-way curves, the relatively narrow width of that "sandwiched" west part of the
parcel generally narrows from west to east.
The easternmost portion of the subject parcel is generally triangular. (See map
Appendices 2, IO (Sheet 3 of 3), and 11-) That portion of the parcel (I) abuts a segment of the
Sunset Boulevard right-of-way's south boundary (but does not abut the BNSF Railroad right-of-
way) and (2) tapers down to a needle point at the parcel's extreme east end.
2. Explanation and Depiction of the Topographic Special Circumstance of
the Extensive, Varying Elevation Differentials That Exist in the Vicinity
of the Grade and Fill Project Site across the Long and Relatively Narrow
Area Extending South from Sunset Boulevard across the West Part of the
Subject Parcel to the Parcel's South Boundary
One of the subject parcel's significant topographic special circumstances is the existence
of extensive, varying elevation differentials across the long, relatively narrow area extending
south from Sunset Boulevard's pavement surface and across the west part of the subject parcel to
City of Renton Department of Community and Economic Development
Attn: Chip Vincent, Administrator, and Vanessa Dolbee, Planning Division Manager

Page 16
the parcel's south boundary (i.e., to the BNSF Railroad right-of-way's north boundary). Those
varying elevation differentials are evidenced by both of the following:
(I) The existing elevation contours set forth on the two-sheet set of
Barghausen's Topography Map sheets (sheets that have been submitted to
the City as part of the subject Grade and Fill Permit application, l l-inch-
by-17-inch reductions of which sheets accompany this letter as Appendix
1) and
(2) Existing and proposed slopes across the west part of the subject parcel (the
part within which the Project Site is located) that are depicted in several
cross-sectional views on Sheets X5 and X6 of the six-sheet set of
Barghausen cross-section exhibit sheets that accompanies this letter as
Appendix 5 in relation to the corresponding locations ( of the cross
sections) that are depicted in plan view across the west part of the parcel.
As can be seen on the Appendix 4 Topography Map sheets, road-surface elevations along
the segment of Sunset Boulevard lying immediately to the north of the subject parcel's Grade
and Fill Project Site range from (I) an elevation of about 164 feet to the north of the Project
Site's east end to (2) an elevation of about 222 feet to the north of the Project Site's west end, for
an overall average Sunset Boulevard road-surface elevation of about 193 feet. Also based on the
existing elevation contours set forth on those two Topography Map sheets, the existing ground-
surface elevations of the south boundary of the subject Pointe Heron LLC parcel generally range
from about 40 to 50 feet [(a) an elevation of about 40 feet at a location along the parcel's south
boundary to the south of the Project Site's west end and (b) an elevation of about 50 feet at a
location along the parcel's south boundary to the south of the Project Site's east end], for an
average ground-surface elevation along the south boundary of about 45 feet.
Along an imaginary line passing through the Project Site's east edge and extending
perpendicularly approximately 538 lineal feet southwesterly from Sunset Boulevard's south
pavement edge to the subject parcel's south boundary,
(a) the elevation differential is about 114 vertical feet (i.e., from an upper
elevation of about 164 feet to a lower elevation of about 50 feet) and
(b) the overall average slope is about 21 percent [i.e., 114 vertical feet+ 538
horizontal feet "' 21 % ].
Along that imaginary line, that 114-vertical-foot elevation differential 1s extensive and the
overall 21-percent average slope is substantial.

Similarly, from the south edge of the Sunset Boulevard road surface extending south
approximately 725 lineal feet along a northerly projection of the subject parcel's west boundary
line 7 to the subject parcel's southwest corner,
(i) the elevation differential is about 182 vertical feet (i.e., from an upper
elevation of about 222 feet to a lower elevation of about 40 feet) and
(ii) the overall average slope is about 25 percent [i.e., (182 feet -40 feet) +
725 feet"' 25%].
Along that 725-foot line, the 182-vertical-foot elevation differential 1s tremendous and the
overall 25 percent average slope is quite substantial.
Note that a comparison of (1) the above-calculated easl-edge elevation differential and
overall average slope with (2) the above-calculated west-edge elevation differential and overall
average slope makes obvious the varying nature of both the elevation differential and the overall
average slope between (a) the south edge of the Sunset Boulevard road surface and (b) the
subject parcel's south boundary line along the west part of the subject parcel.
Further note that, especially to the north of roughly the west half of the Grade and Fill
Project Site, a significant part of the above-explained overall varying vertical elevation
differential between the south edge of the Sunset Boulevard road surface and the subject parcel's
south boundary lies between (I) the south edge of the Sunset Boulevard road surface and (2) the
subject parcel's north boundary. This existing special circumstance is the most pronounced
where the existing ground is the steepest, which is to the north of the westernmost part of the
Project Site. (See the very narrowly spaced existing ground contours depicted on Sheet I of 2 of
the Appendix 4 Barghausen Topographic Map sheets.)
For example, as can be seen from Sheet 1 of 2 of the Appendix 4 Topographic Map
sheets, from (1) the parcel's northwest corner along only a 92-foot-long northerly extension of
the subject parcel's west boundary south to (2) the south edge of Sunset Boulevard's south
pavement edge, the elevation differential is about 62 vertical feet (from elevation 222 feet at
Sunset Boulevard's south pavement edge down to elevation 160 feet at the parcel's northwest
corner). Note that that 62-foot elevation differential along the 92-foot-long northerly extension
of the parcel's west boundary equates with an average slope of 67 percent [i.e., 62 vertical feet+
92 horizontal feet "' 67% ], which is a I .SH: IV slope. That rate of slope along the westernmost
part of the south edge of the existing Sunset Boulevard south right-of-way margin is the same
rate of slope as the 1.5H: 1 V south-edge fill slope that applicant Pointe Heron LLC proposes as
part of the subject Grade and Fill Permit application.

The applicant suffers from these special circumstances of (I) extensive varying elevation
differentials and (2) significant varying overall average slopes in at least three important ways.
First, in order to create a relatively flat area suitable for both future IL-zone development and for
future construction of a street to serve such development, the applicant suffers and will yet suffer
the extensive costs and efforts of designing, obtaining approvals for, and constructing the overall
proposed 495,500-cubic-yard fill ( only 18,500 cubic yards of which will be from materials
excavated on-site, an excavation for the proposed new stormwater detention pond), including the
proposed 1.5H: 1 V south-edge fill slope needed in conjunction with the proposed relatively flat
area. (See subsection IV.A.5, which begins on page 22, below, for an explanation of the
proposed surface elevation range and proposed location of that relatively flat mid-elevation
area.)
Second, because of (I) the extensive varying elevation differentials immediately south of
Sunset Boulevard's road surface along and near the subject parcel's north edge (varying
differentials that generally are progressively more severe from east to west) and (2) other special
circumstances discussed below, the applicant suffers from the existence of only one viable
location for a future primary entrance street into the subject parcel (a location just north of the
east end of the Grade and Fill Project Site). For the relatively narrow subject parcel, those
circumstances necessitate that, in order to serve a relatively flat primary future developable area
of the parcel, a future primary entrance street must extend south from Sunset Boulevard and then
curve to the west to an alignment slightly north of and extending from east to west to the subject
parcel's west boundary, a street alignment that will only serve IL-zone development on one side
(the north side). That is a big deal. The applicant suffers greatly under these circumstances, not
only because of
(a) the sheer expense of the tremendous length of that future street along the
future development area's outer edge and
(b) the fact that the street will only serve future development on one side (an
economically highly inefficient situation)
but also because the combination of
(i) the width of the future street's right-of-way,
(ii) the width of the setback from the top of the south-edge fill slope to the
south edge of that future street's pavement, and
(iii) the zoning setback from the north edge of that future street's right-of-way
will take up a very substantial part of the subject parcel's proposed, relatively narrow, flat-graded
width that is to be created by the subject filling and grading proposal, leaving only a relatively
scant area of the parcel available for future IL-zone development.

Third, in view of RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii)'s prohibition on creation of permanent slopes
forty percent ( 40%) or greater that are fifteen feet (15') or more in height, unless the requested
modification is approved and/or the separately requested variance is approved, the applicant will
suffer unnecessary hardship in creating the proposed relatively flat future development area.
Such hardship would be unnecessary because the geotechnical and soils engineering evaluation
of the proposed slope' s design has demonstrated the safety of the design of the proposed
I .SH: IV slope. See subsection IV .E, which begins on page 50, below.
3. Explanation and Depiction of the Special Topographic Circumstances of
the Intermittent Stream, Extensive Areas of Steep Slopes, and a Very
High Landslide Hazard Area in the East Part of the Subject Parcel
Except for the narrow strip of the east part of the parcel that was previously graded as
part of the 65-lot Sunset Bluff residential subdivision development project to serve as the
previously planned sole access street from Sunset Boulevard to provide primary access to that
previously planned development project, the combination of the circumstances of (I) an
intermittent Class 4 stream that crosses the westerly portion of the east part of the subject parcel
from north to south, (2) extensive areas of steep slopes in most of the east part of the parcel, and
(3) a Very High Landslide Hazard Area in the east part of the parcel together severely limit the
potential for future development and use of much of the east part of the subject parcel (i.e., much
of the portion of the parcel lying east of the east end of the subject Grade and Fill Project Site).
For a depiction of the location of the stream and steep-slope areas in roughly the west
half of the east part of the subject parcel, see the color Wetlands and Stream Map exhibit
attached to this letter as Appendix 12.
For an indication of the location of development-constraining ex1stmg steep slopes
throughout large portions of the entire east end of the subject parcel ( especially information on
the east half of the east end of the subject parcel), see Appendix 13, a color map exhibit
developed from a City of Renton GIS map that has both the boundaries of the subject parcel and
the limits of the Project Site added to it (the legend on that map exhibit indicates that a
substantial area of existing slopes in the east part of the subject parcel fall within a 40-to-90-
percent range). (For a depiction of the existing steep topography to the southeast of the roadway
entrance that had been planned for the Sunset Bluff residential development, see Appendix 2.)

parcel, see the previously mentioned Appendix 11 color map exhibit drawing and see Appendix
.f..
In sum, in view of the special circumstances of the intermittent stream, its setbacks, the
areas of steep slopes, and the Very High Landslide Hazard Area that together constrain most of
the east part of the subject parcel, except for
(1) possible future completion of a private road or driveway or a public street
(along the previously graded street corridor that had been planned for the
Sunset Bluff residential subdivision in the east part of the subject parcel)
and
(2) use of that private road or driveway or public street either as
(a) access to possibly viable, narrow-depth building development
along the north edge thereof ( development that, as a practical
matter, would probably be contingent on vacation of excess Sunset
Boulevard right-of-way along a stretch of Sunset Boulevard's
south edge) and/or
(b) possibly a secondary ingress-egress to the future primary entrance
street and primary future developable area of the subject parcel (a
secondary ingress-egress where outgoing left-tum movements onto
Sunset Boulevard likely would be prohibited in view of the future
Given our understanding of the conditions present on the subject parcel and the design of the
proposed filling, excavation, and grading, from a functional perspective it is our opinion that
the entirety of the proposed proiect site(!) is currently a low landslide hazard area and (2)
will continue to be a low landslide hazard area with the proposed filling, excavation, and
grading construction.
Note that RMC 4-3-050Jlb(iv) defines the term Very High Landslide Hazards (LV) as
"[a]reas of known mappable landslide deposits." An isolated area of the subiect parcel, an
area located approximately 500 feet to the southeast of the most easterly portion of the proiect
site, contains a known Very High Landslide Hazard area. That area of the subject parcel, an
area that is approximately 39,960 square feet in size, is labeled "VERY HIGH LANDSLIDE
HAZARD AREA (EX. SLIDE AREA)" and delineated on the overall site plan (Sheet EI) of
the Barghausen Grading Plans along with an associated 50-foot-wide buffer required by RMC
4-3-070J7b. (That existing slide area straddles part of the easterlymost portion of the subject
parcel's south boundary.) The existing slide area is totally separate from the proposed
project site and has no bearing upon the proposed fill, excavation, and grade work
contemplated by this report.

primary entrance street into the subject parcel expected
southwesterly of and opposite to 80th Avenue South),
very little, if any, opportunity for development appears to exist in the east part of the subject
parcel.
4. Explanation of the Primary Purpose of the Proposed Filling, Excavation,
and Grading Project
Note that the primary purpose that Pointe Heron LLC has for the proposed filling,
excavation, and grading project is the creation of a relatively flat area within the subject parcel
comprised of the following two main elements for planned future uses: 9
(I) An element that will be suitable for construction of a future east-west
street along and approximately 20 feet to the north of the top edge of the
proposed south-edge fill slope (with the east end of that street to connect
by means of a street curve and a 200-foot-long straight street segment with
SW Sunset Boulevard opposite 80th Avenue South to the north-northeast)
and
(2) An adjacent element to the north of the element planned for the future
east-west street's right-of-way [with the portion of that adjacent element
that would extend north of the 15-foot-wide front yard building setback
from the future street right-of-way being of adequate width and size for
future construction of capital-intensive buildings consistent with the
subject parcel's Light Industrial (IL) zoning classification].
[See the first of two map exhibits included in Appendix 14 prepared by Barghausen Consulting
Engineers, Map Exhibit I, for a depiction of the contemplated layout of (a) a future street and
future street right-of-way within the subject parcel, (b) the above-mentioned 15-foot-wide front
yard setback from that future street right-of-way, and (c) the primary future developable area 10
that would lie within the subject parcel to the north of that setback.]
9 In addition to the desired creation of the proposed relatively flat area, a supporting purpose of the subject
proposed filling, excavation, and grading project is replacement of the existing storm water detention and water
quality pond with a new pond. Specifically, (a) the existing pond, which is located at the lower (south) edge of
the project site, is proposed to be filled and (b) a new stormwater detention and water quality pond is proposed
to be constructed along much of the proposed mid-elevation plateau's northern edge. That new pond is
intended to serve as a drainage support facility for the future development of the parcel. That proposed new
pond is important because it will afford much easier access for pond maintenance than does the existing,
difficult-to-access storm water and water quality pond at the base of some of the existing slopes constructed in
the southern portion of the west part of the subject parcel as part of the not-completed Sunset Bluff project.
'
0 The term "primary future developable area" refers to the area within which future buildings may be
constructed-Le., the area lying outside of (a) the 15-foot-wide front yard setback from the planned future

The types of capital-intensive buildings consistent with IL zoning that Pointe Heron LLC
contemplates for the primary future developable area of the subject parcel necessitate a relatively
flat area. The proposed changes to the Project Site's existing grades will eliminate undulating
terrain remaining from the Sunset Bluff grading in the Project Site portion of the subject parcel.
Creation of site grades suitable for both (I) the primary future developable area in order to
accommodate such buildings and (2) future construction of a street to serve the primary future
developable area within the long, narrow subject parcel is the ultimate goal of the subject filling,
excavation, and grading proposal.
5. Explanation of How the Combination of the Special Circumstances of (A)
the Subject Parcel's Topography, (B) the Topography of Adjacent Sunset
Boulevard, and (C) the Locations of Streets North of and Connecting with
Adjacent Sunset Boulevard Essentially Dictates the Locations and Design
Elevations of Both the Parcel's Primary Future Developable Area and
Future Primary Public Street, Necessitating the Requested Modification
The proposed overall relatively flat area (a plateau) is designed to generally extend south
from (I) roughly the toe of the existing steep slope that extends downward from SW Sunset
Boulevard's south edge to (2) the top edge of the proposed 1.5H: IV south-edge fill slope. The
125-to-128-foot elevation range of the proposed, overall relatively flat area is a roughly mid-
level elevation range between
(a) The average of the existing road-surface elevations (an average elevation
of about 193 feet) along the segment of Sunset Boulevard lying to the
north of the Grade and Fill Project Site, elevations that range from (i)
about 164 feet to the north of the Project Site's east end to (ii) about 222
feet to the north of the Project Site's west end, and
(b) The average of the existing ground-surface elevations (an average
elevation of about 45 feet) of the south boundary of the Pointe Heron LLC
street, (b) the proposed new storrnwater detention pond and a 10-foot-wide area around the pond's top edge,
and (c) a 10-foot setback from two segments of existing storm drainpipe near and roughly parallel to the
parcel's north boundary to the west of80th Avenue South (see attached Appendix l4's Map Exhibit l).
In this letter, the modifier "primary" is used in the term "primary future developable area" to distinguish that
area from a relatively tiny potential future development area along the northeast side of the original Sunset
Bluff entrance street that was planned and graded to the southeast of a southwesterly projection of Oakesdale
A venue SW from the north. Whether that tiny potential future development area will be able to support
development of even a small future building is uncertain and is likely contingent upon securing a vacation of
an abutting area of what might be excess street right-of-way along Sunset Boulevard's south edge.
Street/driveway and utility infrastructure for that tiny area will undoubtedly be expensive. Currently,
development of that tiny area certainly cannot be counted on to generate future revenue.

parcel along or to the south of the Project Site (elevations that generally
range from about 40 to 50 feet).
The 125-to-128-foot elevation range of the proposed, relatively flat mid-elevation plateau
is a grade range that not only is a reasonable compromise of (1) the road-surface elevations of
Sunset Boulevard to the north in relation to (2) the ground-surface elevations of the subject
parcel's south edge but is a grade range that will make possible future construction of a
reasonably sloped entrance street extending southwest into the subject parcel from Sunset
Boulevard ( at a location opposite 80th A venue South, a side street that lies to the north-northeast
of Sunset Boulevard) in order to serve future development within the subject parcel's primary
future developable area. (See Map Exhibit I in Appendix 14.) For the reasons explained in
subsection IV .A.6, which begins below on this page, that entrance-street location is the only
viable location for an entrance street from Sunset Boulevard that could serve as a primary access
street to serve traffic volumes and vehicle types expected to be generated by future capital-
intensive IL buildings constructed within the contemplated primary future developable area.
Note that in order to vertically transition between (1) the planned approximately 128-foot
elevation along the south edge of the overall relatively flat area proposed to be created and (2)
the lower existing elevations south of the proposed relatively flat area, Pointe Heron LLC
proposes a 1.5H: 1 V engineered fill slope with a buttress fill face in order to extend surface
grades up from both
(a) A portion of the parcel's south boundary (along the central part of that
boundary, south of the vicinity of the existing stormwater detention pond)
and
(b) The top edge of the existing I .SH: IV engineered fill slopes constructed as
part of the Sunset Bluff project to both the west and east of the central part
of the parcel's south boundary (i.e., west and east of the existing
stormwater detention pond).
This is more fully explained on page 9 through the top half of page I 0, above.
6. Explanation of Why, in Order to Serve Desired Future IL-Zone
Development of the Subject Parcel, There Is (A) Only One Viable
Location for a Future Primary Entrance Street into the Subject Parcel
from Sunset Boulevard and (B) Only One Viable Location for the
Continuation of That Future Street through the Parcel to the Parcel's
West End
For volumes of traffic that are reasonably expected in connection with Pointe Heron
LLC's desired future IL-zone development and use of the subject parcel, (1) the only entrance-
street location that appears to be viable to serve as a primary entrance street to the subject parcel

Page 24
from Sunset Boulevard l l is one that would be constructed stemming southwest from Sunset
Boulevard at a location opposite 80th Avenue South to the northeast of Sunset Boulevard and (2)
the only location for an east-to-west extension of that entrance street is along and near the top
edge of the proposed south-edge fill slope. There are at least four main reasons why.
First, in regard to the topic of the location of the future entrance street's connection with
Sunset Boulevard, note that the location of the entrance-street connection with Sunset Boulevard
that had been planned in 2003 to 2004, approved by the City, and preliminarily graded for the
65-lot Sunset Bluff residential development is not viable as the location of a primary entrance
street for IL-zone development of the subject parcel. The reason why involves an expected
substantial difference between (I) the volumes and types of traffic anticipated for IL-zone
development and use of the subject parcel and (2) the volumes and types of traffic that had been
anticipated for the previously planned Sunset Bluff single-family residential subdivision
development.
Note that the design of the entrance street for the previously planned Sunset Bluff
residential development specified the street stemming into the subject parcel from Sunset
Boulevard at a location approximately 535 feet to the southeast of the now-planned future
entrance-street location. 12 Unlike the currently planned entrance-street location, which is across
from a public street (80th Avenue South) that stems to the northeast from Sunset Boulevard's
northeast edge, the entrance-street location planned for the Sunset Bluff residential development
11 Note that primary street access for the subject parcel must come from Sunset Boulevard because (a) no
access streets are available to the south or southeast of the subject parcel and (b) the nearest public street to the
west is Monster Road SW, a street that is located half a mile southwest of the subject parcel's west boundary.
See Appendix 11 for a color-marked copy of Sheet El of 10 of the reduced-size IO-sheet set of the Barghausen
Grading Plans, on which (i) the subject parcel is outlined in red and (ii) the location of a portion of Monster
Road SW is depicted (at the right edge of the sheet).
Note that construction of an emergency vehicle access road from the subject parcel's west boundary to
Monster Road is expected to be required in conjunction with future construction of buildings within a part of
the subject parcel's primary future developable area that would exceed a distance that, under applicable Renton
code provisions, the Renton Fire Department would be willing to serve from a single entrance street from
Sunset Boulevard. (The now-expired preliminary plat approval issued by the City for the Sunset Bluff
residential development of the subject parcel had required construction of an emergency vehicle access road
within an easement across some of the Stoneway Black River Quarry parcels that lie between the subject
parcel's west end and Monster Road SW.)
12 That entrance-street location for the Sunset Bluff residential development had been chosen in order to both
(a) provide more street length so as to be able to slope the street down from the entrance-street intersection
elevation at Sunset Boulevard to achieve lower design elevations for the then-planned residential lots (the
easterlymost of which were located about 500 feet west of the entrance-street location) and (b) avoid having to
forgo creation of several residential lots (as would have been necessary if the street entrance for the residential
subdivision project had been designed to extend into the subject parcel from Sunset Boulevard directly
opposite 80th Avenue South, which is a residential access street that lies to the northeast of Sunset Boulevard).

was not opposite any roadway on Sunset Boulevard's north side but, instead, was offset only
about 185 feet to the southeast of Oakesdale Avenue SW, which is a residential access street
stemming to the northeast from the northeast side of Sunset Boulevard. 13 With the relatively
light volumes of residential traffic contemplated for the Sunset Bluff residential development,
the potential for tum-movement conflicts between the Sunset Boulevard-Sunset Bluff residential
development entrance-street intersection and the nearby Sunset Boulevard-Oakesdale Avenue
intersection was not great enough to make the traffic situation inappropriate. (This was
evaluated as part of the traffic analysis performed by Transpo Group for the Sunset Bluff
residential development.)
Although no specific IL-zone development project is currently being contemplated for
the subject parcel, a business/technology campus or light industrial and/or office development of
the site are likely types of future development, any of which would likely involve both (a)
substantially higher volumes of overall traffic than the volumes that had been expected for the
Sunset Bluff residential development and (b) more delivery and/or heavy truck traffic than the
Sunset Bluff residential development would have involved. Thus, with substantially greater
traffic volumes expected from use of IL-zone development of the subject parcel than the volumes
that had been expected with the residential development, the potential for tum-movement
conflicts between (i) the Sunset Boulevard-Sunset Bluff residential development street-entrance
intersection and (ii) the Sunset Boulevard-Oakesdale Avenue intersection would be substantially
greater if the sole street entrance into the subject parcel from Sunset Boulevard is located where
the Sunset Bluff residential development street-entrance had been planned. Such conflicts would
render that earlier planned entrance location untenable as the sole entrance for the hoped-for
future IL-zone development of the subject parcel.
Also note that, in regard to the Sunset Bluff residential development project, the very-
tight-radius (55-foot-centerline-radius) entrance-street layout curve designed for the Sunset Bluff
residential project was chosen in order to avoid both(!) the 50-foot-wide buffer for the existing
Very High Landslide Hazard Area to the south and southeast of the street's nearly immediate 90-
degree tum to the northwest just southeast of the Sunset Boulevard right-of-way and (2) an open-
space tract that had been proposed as part of the Sunset Bluff project as "Tract C." 14 That very-
13 See as part of Exhibit D-5 to Appendix I attached to this letter the reduced-size ( I l-inch-by-17-inch) copies
of sheets CI and C3 of 7, an exhibit consisting of the seven sheets of the Clearing, Initial Grading, and TESC
Plans prepared by Barghausen Engineers for the Sunset Bluff residential development project. Those two
sheets depict the location of the previously proposed Sunset Bluff project's access street (a then-proposed
street that is labeled on those plans as "Road A") and its connection with Sunset Boulevard about 185 feet
southeast of Oakesdale Avenue SW (a residential access street that lies to the northeast of Sunset Boulevard)
and northwest of the unimproved Powell Avenue SW right-of-way (which is also northeast of Sunset
Boulevard). The location of80th Avenue South (which is located about 350 feet to the northwest of Oakesdale
A venue) is also depicted on those two sheets.
14 See Sheet C3 of 7 of the Sunset Bluff Clearing, Initial Grading, and TESC Plans, a plan set that is included
as Exhibit D-5 in Appendix I to this letter, for a depiction of (a) the layout of that previously planned road's
connection with the tight-radius 90-degree turn to the west off of Sunset Boulevard, (bl the location of the

Page 26
tight-radius street entrance planned as a primary street entrance to the subject parcel for the
Sunset Bluff residential development simply is not expected to reasonably accommodate the
volumes of overall traffic and larger numbers of delivery trucks and/or heavy trucks
contemplated to be associated with future IL-zone development of the parcel's primary future
developable area.
Second, the location of a future entrance street from Sunset Boulevard opposite 80th
Avenue South is the optimum and only viable location for both
(a) minimizing turning-movement conflicts with traffic to and from the streets
to the northeast of Sunset Boulevard and
(b) having an intersection elevation suitable for extending into the subject
parcel from Sunset Boulevard a future entrance street with a reasonable
downward slope that will work well with the proposed 125-to-128-foot
grade range of the proposed, relatively flat mid-elevation plateau portion
of the west part of the subject parcel.
Note that shifting the location of a future street entrance from Sunset Boulevard to the
southeast of 80th Avenue South would not allow a viable primary entrance street to be
constructed. Due to steep existing slopes immediately to the southwest of such a street entrance
within the subject parcel, the street's on-site layout would have to begin with the same type of
very-tight-radius turn to the northwest as did the street layout originally designed for Sunset
Bluff (a layout that would not reasonably accommodate traffic volumes and truck volumes for
the subject parcel to support desired future IL-zone development in the subject parcel's primary
future developable area).
Also, note that shifting a future street entrance from Sunset Boulevard to the west-
northwest of 80th Avenue South would not be viable because (I) the elevation of a street
intersection point with Sunset Boulevard gets progressively higher as a proposed street entrance
location is so shifted and (2) the parcel's north-edge slopes as well as slopes between the parcel's
north boundary and the south edge of the Sunset Boulevard pavement become correspondingly
more extensive as a proposed street entrance location is so shifted. Those topographic conditions
make an entrance street into the subject parcel from Sunset Boulevard to the west-northwest of
80th Avenue South impossible from a grade perspective.
Third, with the relatively flat mid-elevation plateau space that would be afforded by the
proposed 1.5H: IV south-edge fill slopes (and unlike the case with the very-tight-radius entrance-
street layout that had been designed immediately to the southwest of Sunset Boulevard for the
mentioned 50-foot-wide buffer for the existing Very High Landslide Hazard Area (an area labeled "EX.
SLIDE AREA" on said Sheet C3 of 7), and (c) the previously planned Tract C open-space tract. [On the
Appendix 11 11-inch-by-17-inch color map exhibit, that same Very High Landslide Hazard Area is labeled
VERY HIGH LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREA (EX. SLIDE AREA)."]

Sunset Bluff residential subdivision development), drivers of the expected future significantly-
higher-than-Sunset-Bluff-volumes of incoming passenger vehicles and large trucks from Sunset
Boulevard associated with use of a future IL-zone development of the subject parcel would
greatly benefit from having an approximately 200-foot-long straight stretch of on-site street
directly in front of them (in an orientation perpendicular to Sunset Boulevard) before reaching a
roughly 75-degree sweeping curve to the west with an approximately 200-foot-long centerline
radius-see Map Exhibit I included as part of Appendix 14 to this letter. The approximately
200-foot-long straight stretch of the future entrance street would be long enough to efficiently
allow such volumes of incoming traffic to enter the subject parcel from Sunset Boulevard
without causing traffic slowdowns and backups onto Sunset Boulevard.
Fourth, the length of the approximately 200-foot-long straight stretch of future on-site
street and the length of the approximately 200-foot-long centerline radius curve to the west of
that street's continuation would be optimal to both
(a) Accommodate incoming traffic without forcing an immediate, tight
turning movement to the west and
(b) Appropriately transition the generally northeast-to-southwest future
entrance street to the location of a future east-to-west extension of that
street that would be located along and near the top edge of the proposed
1.5H: IV south-edge fill slope.
Note that a shorter straight stretch of the future entrance street and/or a shorter radius of the
street curve to the west than the straight and curved street segments depicted on Map Exhibit I
would not only (i) impair the efficiency of the entrance street in accommodating incoming
vehicles without slowdown and backup but would (ii) result in a street curve to the west at a
location where the street's extension to the west would result in an even narrower primary future
developable area than the only-barely-adequate-width primary future developable area that
would result from the proposed I .SH: IV south-edge fill slope. (For an explanation of the only
barely adequate width of the primary future developable area expected even with the proposed
l.5H:IV south-edge fill slope, see the next subsection, subsection IV.A.7, which begins on page
30, below.)
Note that in the middle of page 14 of the August 13, 2014 Pointe Heron Geotechnical and
Soil Engineering Report submitted as part of the subject Grade and Fill Permit application,
ESNW (the grade and fill project's geotechnical and soil engineering consulting firm)
1 • recommends a vehicular traffic setback of 20 feet from the top of the proposed new fill slope. '
15 In regard to a roadway vehicular traffic setback, the third sentence of the section entitled "Future Slope
Setback Recommendations" on page 14 of that report specifically states:
A building foundation and/or roadway vehicular traffic setback of20 feet from the top of the
new fill slopes should be incorporated into future site layout plans.

That recommendation means that the face of the street's south curb would need to be located a
minimum of 20 feet from the top of the proposed new fill slope. Such a location for a generally
east-to-west future street along the top edge of the proposed I.SH:! V south-edge fill slope would
(i) Appropriately connect it with the above-noted combination of an
approximately 200-foot-long straight stretch of future entrance street and
an approximately 200-foot-long centerline radius street curve that would
connect with the straight stretch of the street's south end and
(ii) Locate the future street within the subject parcel in a logical position for
future extension to the west beyond the subject parcel (i.e., west through
the Stoneway Black River Quarry parcels to Monster Road SW) as either a
future emergency-access roadway or a future street. 16
In sum, the combination of the special circumstances of the subject parcel's (I)
topography [ extensive elevation differentials, areas of steep slopes, and (in the east part of the
parcel) an intermittent stream and a Very High Landslide Hazard Area], (2) tremendous length
and relatively narrow width, (3) highly irregular shape (with lots of curved and straight
boundary-line elements), and (4) surroundings [with (a) a public street only along the parcel's
north-northeast edge, (b) off-site grade differentials and steep slopes between the parcel's north
edge and the south pavement edge of Sunset Boulevard, and ( c) the location of streets to the
northeast of Sunset Boulevard connecting with that boulevard's northeast edge] pose the
applicant with a myriad of practical difficulties in carrying out the provisions of the second
sentence of Paragraph 6 (Maximum Slope) of RMC 4-4-060N in conjunction with the
applicant's contemplated post-filling, excavation, and grading of the subject parcel. As a
practical matter, those listed special circumstances (as described in more detail from pages 13,
above, to the top of this page) leave the applicant with:
(a) A need to plan for a future primary street entrance off of Sunset Boulevard
to provide primary future street access to the subject parcel;
(b) A need to plan grading of the subject parcel in view of the single viable
location for a future-primary-entrance-street connection with Sunset
Boulevard (i.e., opposite 80th Avenue South, which is to the northeast of
Sunset Boulevard);
( c) A need to create a relatively flat range of surface elevations between
elevation 128 feet and elevation 125 feet as a mid-level plateau between
the elevations of Sunset Boulevard (to the north of the Grade and Fill
Project Site) and the subject parcel's south boundary (south of the Grade

and Fill Project Site), a mid-level plateau that the applicant seeks in order
to meet the applicant's goal of accommodating future construction of both
(i) capital-intensive buildings within the primary future developable
area depicted on Appendix 14' s Map Exhibit 1 consistent with the
parcel's IL zoning and
(ii) a future east-to-west Commercial-Mixed Use & Industrial Access
classification street along and near the top of a proposed south-
edge fill slope (as depicted on Appendix 14's Map Exhibit I) in
order to provide street access along the tremendous length of the
contemplated relatively narrow primary future developable area;
and
( d) A need to extend the relatively flat mid-level plateau area sufficiently far
south to both
(i) provide space generally from north to south that will be adequate
for an appropriate combination of a future straight segment of the
entrance street extending southwest from Sunset Boulevard and a
sufficient radius of a future street curve to the west to make sure
the entrance street and its curve to the west can both
(A) Accommodate volumes and types of incoming future
traffic expected to be generated by future IL-zone
development of the subject parcel and
(B) Be consistent with the location of the future east-to-
west street segment ( a future segment extending west
from the west end of that future street curve) along and
near the top edge of the proposed I .SH: 1 V south-edge
fill slope in order to serve capital-intensive future
building development of the parcel's primary future
developable area and
(ii) Create a wide enough and large enough primary future developable
area to provide sufficient potential for adequate future revenues
from future construction and use of capital-intensive buildings
consistent with the subject parcel's IL zone to make economically
viable for the applicant both (A) the expenditure of anticipated
upfront costs of the proposed filling, grading, and excavation
project and of the future street and associated utilities construction
to follow and (B) other future costs of development.

7. Demonstration That (A) the Primary Future Developable Area Is Barely
Wide Enough to Make Viable Its Contemplated Future Development
Even with a South-Edge Fill Slope as Steep as the Proposed 1.SH:lV
Maximum South-Edge Fill Slope and (B) a Flatter Maximum South-Edge
Fill Slope Than the Slope Proposed Would Be Impractical
The proposed primary future developable area (see its definition in the first paragraph of
footnote 10 on page 21, above) of the subject parcel is a relatively long, narrow area of the west
part of the subject parcel with a primary axis that runs generally from east to west. That area (1)
will be barely wide enough for contemplated future development of the subject parcel to be
viable even with a south-edge fill slope as steep as the proposed 1.5H: 1 V maximum south-edge
fill slope and (2) any flattening of the south-edge fill slope would be impractical because it
would make the barely-wide-enough primary future developable area too narrow to function for
its intended purpose.
To (a) illustrate key points concerning the proposed primary future developable area in
view of the proposed I.SH: 1 V south-edge fill slope and (b) compare and contrast those points
with analogous points that would be involved if a 2.5H: 1 V maximum fill slope [i.e., a 40 percent
slope, which would be consistent with the second sentence of above-quoted RMC 4-4-060N.6
(Maximum Slope)] was to be used instead ofa l.SH:IV south-edge fill slope, I have prepared the
table (Table 1) set forth on pages 34 to 35, below, a table that is based on dimensional and
acreage information taken from two accompanying color map exhibits (Map Exhibits 1 and 2,
11-inch-by-17-inch reductions of which are included in Appendix 14 to this letter), map exhibits
that Barghausen Consulting Engineers has developed from overlays of the plan view of the
proposed grading design depicted on Sheets ES and E6 of the 10-sheet set of Barghausen
Grading Plans. 17
A comparison and contrast of those two Appendix 14 map exhibits illustrates both (1) the
extreme development-constraining effect of flattening the proposed south-edge fill slope to a
2.SH: 1 V slope and (2) the impracticality of a south-edge fill slope any flatter than the I .SH: IV
fill slope that is proposed. Please examine and compare those two maps carefully.
The first of those two exhibits (Map Exhibit 1) depicts the approximate estimated
location of a future 69-foot-wide public street right-of-way 18 in relation to the location of the
17 Note that because of both (a) the 22-inch-by-34-inch sheet-size limitation of the Barghausen Grading Plans
and (b) the extreme length of the subject parcel from east to west, the Grade and Fill Project Site and the
portion of the subject parcel boundary relevant to the Project Site were split into two sheets within the IO-sheet
set of the Barghausen Grading Plans. (See Sheets E2, E3, E5, and E6 of Appendix 8.) However, Barghausen
created a single oversize base sheet for use in creating Map Exhibits 1 and 2 so that the entire relevant portion
of the subject parcel can be seen on each of those two exhibits for ease of analysis.
18 For purposes of Map Exhibit l and this analysis, a future "Commercial-Mixed Use & Industrial Access"
public street is assumed based on (a) the City ofRenton's Minimum Design Standards Table for Public Streets

proposed 1.5H: 1 V south-edge fill slope, as well as the layout of a public street from curb to curb
lying within that future right-of-way. (For purposes of that map exhibit, sidewalk depiction is
intentionally omitted.) The location of the right-of-way's centerline is based on (a) the assumed
36-foot face-of-curb-to-face-of-curb paved street width and (b) the face of the street's south curb
being set back to the north a minimum of 20 feet from the proposed south-edge fill's top of
slope. (That minimum 20-foot-wide setback is consistent with the setback recommendation in
ESNW's 2014 Pointe Heron Geotechnical and Soil Engineering Report.19)
Also depicted on Map Exhibit 1 is the apparently applicable, code-specified minimum
15-foot-wide front yard setback 20 from the north edge of such a future street right-of-way. In
addition, Map Exhibit 1 illustrates (i) the approximate limits of (and notes the acreage of) the
subject parcel's anticipated primary future developable area, (ii) the approximate length of the
primary future developable area down its long axis (generally from east to west), (iii) the depth
of the primary future developable area (perpendicular to the assumed future street at three
representative locations), and (iv) other information.
and Alleys set forth in RMC 4-6-060F and (b) an assumption of two IO-foot-wide travel lanes (thus the
corresponding 69-foot-wide right-of-way) and an eight-foot-wide parking lane on each side of the street.
19 The third sentence of the Geotechnical and Soil Engineering Report's subsection entitled "Future Slope
Setback Recommendations" (on page 14 of the report) states:
A building foundation and/or roadway vehicular traffic setback of 20 feet from the top of
the new fill slopes should be incorporated into future site layout plans.
(Emphasis added.)
'
0 Because the anticipated future street will not be a principal arterial, for the IL zoning designation, RMC 4-2-
l 30A (Development Standards for Industrial Zoning Designation) states as follows for Minimum Front Yard
for "other streets":
Other streets: l.1..11,_ provided that 20 ft. is required if a lot is adjacent to or abutting a lot
zoned R-1, R-4, R-8, RMH, R-10, R-14, or RM.
(Emphasis added.) Note that although both (a) the extreme southeast end of the subject parcel (lot) abuts a lot
to the southeast that is zoned RM (a lot that lies more than 200 feet away from the anticipated road on the other
side of the subject parcel's stream buffer and wetland buffer) and (b) the north part of the subject parcel lies
east-southeast of 80th Avenue South and across Sunset Boulevard from lots to the north zoned R-8, the 20-
foot-wide front yard setback from the future anticipated street right-of-way should be deemed inapplicable
because the anticipated primary future street within the subject parcel will neither front along nor lie between
either of those RM-or R-8-zoned parcels. (See the definitions of "abutting" and "adjacent," including the
diagram in each of those definitions, set forth in RMC 4-11-0IO.)

north of and parallel to that line, as well as the layout of a public street with an assumed 36-foot-
wide paved street (from curb to curb) lying within that future right-of-way. (For purposes of this
exhibit, sidewalk depiction is intentionally omitted.) Map Exhibit 2 also depicts a 15-foot front
yard setback from that right-of-way location. In addition, Map Exhibit 2 illustrates (a) the
approximate limits of (and notes the acreage of) the subject parcel's primary future developable
area that would exist with a 2.SH: 1 V top-of-south-edge-fill-slope line, (b) the approximate

primary future developable area (and thus less future impervious surface) that will need detention than the
primary future developable area depicted on Map Exhibit 1, the area encompassed by the south-edge fill slope
would be substantially greater under a 2.5H: IV south-edge-fill-slope design than under the proposed I .SH: 1 V
south-edge-fill-slope design.
Note also that runoff from the south-edge-fill-slope area will not be tributary to the proposed new stormwater
detention pond. Because of that, the permitted flow discharge rate from the stormwater detention pond would
have to be lower under a 2.SH: 1 V south-edge-fill-slope design than under the proposed I .SH: 1 V south-edge-
fill-slope design. With a lower permitted flow discharge rate from the stormwater detention pond
corresponding to a 2.SH:1 V south-edge-fill-slope design, the pond would require relatively more detention
volume per unit of primary future developable area, which (a) likely would require the pond to be larger under
a 2.5H: 1 V south-edge-fill-slope design than under a I.SH: 1 V south-edge-fill-slope design (and thus take up
even more space than the proposed pond depicted on both Map Exhibit 1 and Map Exhibit 2) or (b) might even
make adequate stormwater detention impossible to achieve.

percent;

(2) Reduce the typical range of the depth of the primary future developable
area (i.e., the range of the horizontal dimension of that area as measured
north of and perpendicular to the front yard setback line from the future
street depicted on Map Exhibit I by 15 percent at the range's upper end
and by about 42 percent at the range's lower end; and
(3) Make the depth of the primary future developable area
(a) totally inadequate for construction of capital-intensive buildings
[ of a scale reasonable considering the massive scale of the ultimate
overall contemplated financial investment for

the associated stormwater-detention-pond relocation,
(ii) the contemplated future road-and utility-infrastructure

of the entire subject parcel within which rent-paying buildings can ever be constructed2\ these
above-described reductions in the size and depth and usability of the primary future developable
area for construction of capital-intensive buildings of a scale reasonable considering the massive
scale of the ultimate overall contemplated financial investment in the development are some of
the major practical difficulties that the applicant would face if the grading design was modified
to carry out the 2.5H:l V maximum slope called-for in the independent clause of the second
sentence of RMC 4-4-060N.6 (Maximum Slope). Those reductions, which would result from
such flattening of the proposed 1.5H: IV south-edge fill slope, are some of the important specific
reasons that would make following the strict letter of that second sentence from the Code
impractical here.
However, for at least three additional main reasons, the above descriptions of the
reductions in the size and depth and usability of the primary future developable area severely
understate the impracticality of using a 2.5H: IV slope design (rather than the proposed 1.5H: 1 V
slope design) on the feasibility of the parcel for construction of a future street and future capital-
intensive buildings.
First, a narrower permitted primary future developable area north of the east-to-west
segment of the future street (which would result from any flattening of the south-edge fill slope)
would render future street construction and future construction of associated underground
utilities financially infeasible. Even with the proposed 1.5H: 1 V south-edge fill slope, street
length would amount to 225 lineal feet of street per acre of primary future developable area (a
high ratio in view of the fact that no buildings could be constructed on the street's south side).
However, with the much narrower (and much smaller) permitted primary future developable
area that would result from construction of a 2.5H: IV south-edge fill slope, there would
nevertheless be
(1) 1,664 lineal feet of street, slightly more lineal footage (10 more lineal feet)
than the 1,654 lineal feet of street contemplated with the proposed
l.5H:1V south-edge fill slope (and correspondingly more expense),
(2) slightly more corresponding length of utilities along the future street (and
correspondingly more linear utilities expense along the future street) than
with the 1,654 lineal-foot-long street contemplated with the proposed
1.5H: 1 V south-edge fill slope, and
(3) a new stormwater detention pond of at least the same size as (and perhaps
much larger than 24
) as the new stormwater detention pond planned with

the proposed I.SH: 1 V south-edge fill slope ( and thus the same or greater
corresponding construction and maintenance costs).
As Table 1 shows, the ratio of (a) the ratio of length of future street to primary future
developable area with a 2.5H: 1 V south-edge fill slope to (b) the ratio of length of future street to
primary future developable area with a l.5H:1 V south-edge fill slope is 135 percent, which
means that the cost is expected to be correspondingly higher per unit area. Similarly, as Table I
also shows, the ratio of (1) the ratio of new stormwater detention pond area (and, thus,
construction and maintenance costs) to primary future developable area with a 2.5H:1 V south-
edge fill slope to (2) the ratio of new stormwater detention pond area (and, thus, construction and
maintenance costs) to primary future developable area with a l.5H:1 V south-edge fill is at least
129 percent (and perhaps much larger 25 ). Those cost differentials are huge.
Second, in addition to the crushing extra burden of street, stormwater detention pond, and
other utility costs per acre of primary future developable area that would result from a 2.5H:1V
south-edge fill slope in contrast to a I.SH: 1 V south-edge fill slope, compare in Table 1
(I) the ratio of (a) the total new constructed support area comprised of (i) a
replacement stormwater pond, (ii) future street right-of-way
improvements, (iii) a future front yard setback area, and (iv) new south-
edge fill slope ("Total New Constructed Support Area") (based on a
2.SH: IV south-edge fill slope) to (b) the primary future developable area
(based on a 2.SH: IV south-edge fill slope )-which is a ratio of at least
182. 4%26-with
(2) the ratio of(a) Total New Constructed Support Area (based on a l.SH:JV
south-edge fill slope) to (b) the primary future developable area (based on
a l.SH:IV south-edge fill slope}--which is a much smaller (although very
high) ratio of 108.3%27 .
Comparison of those 182.4% and 108.3% ratios makes clear that (1) a 2.5H:IV slope would be
tremendously more burdensome upon the applicant in terms of land consumption for Total New
Constructed Support Area than would a 1.5H: IV slope, nearly doubling the ratio of such land
consumption, and (2) any flattening of the proposed I .SH: IV south-edge fill slope would make
25 See the second paragraph of footnote 21, a footnote that begins on page 32, above.
26 The actual ratio could be much larger in view of the second paragraph of footnote 21, a footnote that begins
on page 32, above.
27 The I 08.3% ratio is a very high ratio because it means that the acreage that would be devoted to the
combined new support areas of the new pond, the street right-of-way. the front yard setback, and the new
south-edge fill slope would exceed the primary future developable area's en/ire acreage.

Page 39
the already very high 108.3% ratio of (a) the Total New Constructed Support Area to (b) the
primary future developable area even higher.
Third, note that because of the subject parcel's special circumstances discussed from the
start of subsection IV.A through subsection IV.A.6 (from pages 13 through 29, above) and in the
portion of this subsection IV.A.7 (from page 30, above, through this page) (circumstances that
severely constrain development on the subject parcel), and as is obvious from even a quick
review of Appendix 14's Map Exhibit 1, there is simply not enough usable space within the mid-
elevation plateau that is proposed to be created by filling and grading for an east-to-west street to
run down the middle of the plateau and thereby serve substantial future development on both the
north and south sides of the street. Instead, a future east-to-west street will have to be located, as
proposed, along and to the south of the south edge of the parcel's primary future developable
area, generally as depicted on Map Exhibit 1. That means the street can only serve development
on one side (the north side), a fact that will limit economic benefit to the applicant of the future
construction of the street and street-related utilities installed within the subject property.
Thus, in view of the combination of
(1) The need to maintain as a minimum depth along the length of the primary
future developable area a 178-foot depth (which is the depth of the
approximately 178-foot-deep by 660-foot-long strip of that area south of
the proposed stormwater detention pond-a depth that is only 2.58 times
the 69-foot-width of the contemplated future street right-of~way and a strip
that is nearly half the length (49 percent) of the entire primary future
developable area-in order to physically accommodate the scale of future
buildings necessary to make the development viable in view of the
ultimate overall contemplated financial investment to be made in the
development-see footnote 22 on page 36, above,
(2) The massive expense of the proposed grading, excavation, and filling
project [including the replacement of the existing stormwater detention
pond with a massive new pond at a more maintainable location along part
of the proposed mid-elevation plateau-a pond that will cost as much or
more than the pond that is currently planned for the proposed 1.5H: IV
south-edge fill slope if the proposed south-edge fill slope is required to be
any flatter than currently proposed 28 ( even though the primary future
developable area would be reduced in size by any flattening of that
proposed slope)],
(3) The massive later expense of constructing a street and associated utilities
along the street right-of-way to serve development on only one side of the
28 See the second paragraph of footnote 21, a footnote that begins on page 32, above.

street [with (a) the ratio of the length of the future street to the primary
future developable area already high at 225 lineal feel of street per acre of
such primary future developable area even with the proposed l.5H:IV
south-edge fill slope and (b) the street and associated utilities along the
street to be no shorter or to have no less a total cost if the proposed south-
edge fill slope is required to be any flatter than is currently proposed even
though the primary future developable area would be reduced in size by
any flattening of that proposed slope], and
(4) The additional land consumption for the Total New Constructed Support
Area associated with making the south-edge fill slope any flatter than the
I.SH: IV design that is proposed [ additional land consumption that would
increase the already-very-high 108.3% ratio of (a) the Total New
Constructed Support Area (based on a l.SH:IV south-edge fill slope) to
(b) the primary future developable area (based on a I.SH: IV south-edge
fill slope) to an even higher ratio],
if the proposed south-edge fill slope is required to be any flatter than the I .SH: IV design that is
proposed, the applicant's contemplated future development of capital-intensive future buildings
within the parcel's primary future developable area and with an adjacent public street for access
would be rendered financially infeasible and impractical.
Note that not only would a requirement that the south-edge fill slope be any flatter than
the proposed I.SH: IV south-edge fill slope pose an enormous practical difficulty (arising from
the several clear and specific reasons addressed above), such a requirement would be
unnecessary and unreasonable because the very careful geotechnical design and analysis of the
proposed grade and fill proposal performed by Earth Solutions NW demonstrates that the
I .SH: IV slope design proposed will be safe-see subsection IV .C. l (Safety of the Proposed Fill
Slopes and the Protection of Areas and Uses in the Vicinity of Those Slopes), which begins on
page 42, below.
B. The Intent and Purpose of the Governing Land Use Designation of the
Comprehensive Plan Will Be Met with the Requested Modification for the
Proposed Slope.
The subject parcel is located within the Employment Area-Valley (EA V) land use
designation. The Comprehensive Plan's purpose statement for the EA V designation states:
Purpose Statement: The purpose of the Employment Area-Valley designation is
lo allow the gradual transition of the Valley from traditional industrial and
warehousing uses lo more intensive retail service and office activities. The intent
is to allow these new activities without making industrial uses non-conforming
and without restricting the ability of existing businesses lo expand.

(Boldfacing and italics in the original; underlining added.) By both (I) making possible a
primary future developable area of a size large enough to reasonably support office activities and
the needed street and utilities infrastructure and (2) thus allowing these new activities without
making any industrial uses non-conforming and without restricting the ability of existing
businesses to expand, the intent and purpose of the governing land use designation of the
Comprehensive Plan as stated in the above-quoted purpose statement will be met with approval
of the requested modification for the proposed slope.
C. The Requested Modification for the Proposed Slope Is in Conformity with the
Intent and Purpose of the Code.
As pointed out on page 2, above, the provision of the Renton Municipal Code that bears
on maximum fill slopes (and that is thus relevant to the subject proposed south-edge fill slope) is
paragraph 6 (Maximum Slope) of subsection N (Fills) of RMC 4-4-060 (Grading, Excavation,
and Mining Regulations). That paragraph states:
6. Maximum Slope: The slope of fill surfaces shall be no steeper than is safe for
the intended use. Except in conjunction with a modification granted per RMC 4-9-
250DI for one of the circumstances listed in RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii) (Geologic
Hazards -Modifications), fill operations associated with a plat, short plat,
subdivision or dedication, or other permitted land development activity which
would result in the creation of permanent slopes forty percent ( 40%) or greater
which are fifteen feet ( 15') in height, i.e., protected slopes, shall not be approved.
(Amd. Ord. 4835, 3-27-2000)
(Boldfacing in the code text; italics and underlining added.) In view of that paragraph's first
sentence, the intent and purpose of that paragraph obviously is that the slope of fill surfaces be
no steeper than is safe for the intended use. 29
Further, the purpose statement of RMC 4-4-060 is set forth in subsection A (Purpose).
Subsection A states:
29 The subject parcel's intended use that ESNW considered in preparing the Geotechnical and Soil
Engineering Report is set forth in the Background section on page 3 of that report, a section that states:
We understand the scope of the project includes filling and grading portions of the Pointe
Heron LLC parcel in preparation for future development and includes excavating and
constructing a new stormwater detention and water quality pond within the parcel to replace
the existing pond. We also understand that Pointe Heron LLC anticipates later development
of the parcel consistent with applicable City of Renton zoning and other development
regulations. Such later development may include construction of roadways, single-story
and/or multistory buildings, parking areas, driveways, landscaping, and utilities.

A. PURPOSE:
It is the purpose of this Section to:
I. Provide a means of regulating mining, excavation and grading to promote the
health, safety. morals, general welfare and esthetics in the City of Renton.
2. Promote the progressive rehabilitation of mining, excavation and grading
sites to a suitable new use.
3. Protect those areas and uses in the vicinity of mining, excavation and
grading activities against detrimental effects.
4. Promote sale, economic, systematic and uninterrupted mining, excavation
and grading activities within the City of Renton.
5. Minimize adverse storm water impacts generated by the removal of vegetation
and alteration of landform in order to comply with the requirements of the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Municipal Stormwater
Permit.
6. Protect water quality from the adverse impact associated with erosion and
sedimentation in order to comply with the requirements of the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit.
(Ord. 5526, 2-1-2010)
(Emphasis added.) The topics of (I) safety and of protection of areas and uses in the vicinity, (2)
promotion of the progressive rehabilitation of grading sites to a suitable new use, and (3)
promotion of economic, systematic, and uninterrupted grading activities are discussed below.
1. Safety of the Proposed Fill Slopes and the Protection
of Areas and Uses in the Vicinity of Those Slopes
Let me begin addressing both (I) the safety of the proposed I.SH: IV fill slopes and (2)
the protection of areas and uses in the vicinity of those proposed slopes against detrimental
effects by pointing out several things from ESNW's extensive August 2014 Pointe Heron
Geotechnical and Soil Engineering Report concerning the proposed filling, excavation, and
grading project.
First, ESNW's report clearly demonstrates that the proposed filling, excavation, and
grading proposal overall and the proposed I .SH:\ V fill slope in particular are designed to be safe
for the intended use. Please carefully review that report, five copies of which have been
submitted in support of the overall Grade and Fill Permit application. Note that the report's
Slope Stability Evaluation section ( on pages IO through 12 of the report) explains the slope
stability analysis that ESNW performed and sets forth ESNW's opinion that the proposed fill
slopes will be stable. Further, on page 44 of the report, ESNW states that "[t]he slope of the
proposed fill surfaces is certainly not steeper than will be sale for the intended use of supporting
fill to the north for future development .... " (Emphasis added.)

Page 43
Second, pages 21 through 36 of ESNW's report (together with the materials quoted and
cited therein) explain why (I) the proposal will not increase the threat of geological hazard to
adjacent or abutting properties beyond predevelopment conditions, (2) the proposal will not
adversely impact other critical areas, and (3) construction of the proposed filling, excavation, and
grading contemplated by the Barghausen Grading Plans in accordance with the specifications set
forth in that report and noted on the Barghausen Grading Plans can be safely accommodated on
the Project Site. 30
Third, on page 36 of ESNW's report (in the first paragraph of the report's 20-page
section concerning the filling, excavation, and grading proposal in relation to the extensive
provisions of RMC 4-4-060), as an overall summary related to the analysis of the proposal in
relation to RMC 4-4-060's many provisions addressed in that 20-page section of the report,
ESNW explains that:
In our opinion, the proposed work in general performed in accordance with the
Barghausen Grading Plans and in accordance with the specifications set forth in
this report [including (I) the proposed filling of the existing stormwater pond and
other adjacent areas of the site to raise grades, (2) the construction of the
proposed J.5H:1 V permanent structural fill slope along the southerly and
easterly portions of the work area, and (3) the construction of the associated
Interim Stormwater Pond, the Permanent Stormwater Pond, and other drainage
and site rehabilitation improvements] will be reasonable, acceptable, and safe
from a geotechnical and soil engineering standpoint.
(Emphasis added.)
30 On page 36 ofESNW's August 2014 Pointe Heron Geotechnical and Soil Engineering Report, ESNW explains:
Based on (I) the results of our reviews and evaluations of (a) the EC! reports of pre-Sunset
Bluff geologic conditions, (b) ECl's observation records of the previous filling within the
proposed work area, and ( c) the proposed filling, excavation, and grading depicted on the
Barghausen Grading Plans, (2) the above-stated analysis of Criteria I and 2, above, (3) our
site reconnaissance visits to evaluate existing site conditions, ( 4) our on-site interview of a
representative of Gary Merlino Construction Co., Inc. (GMCC) who personally worked on
previous fill and grade operations on the Pointe Heron LLC parcel, and (5) the slope stability
modeling and slope stability analyses that we performed (see APPENDIX D and see the
discussion of the slope stability analyses on pages 10 to 12, above), in our opinion
construction of the proposed filling, excavation, and grading contemplated by the
Barghansen Grading Plans in accordance with the specifications set forth in this report
and noted on the Barghausen Grading Plans can be safely accommodated on the project
site.
(Emphasis added.)

Page44
Fourth, one of the important and noteworthy features of the design of the proposed new
1.5H: 1 V engineered fill slopes relating to the slope stability and integrity is the specification of a
proposed crushed aggregate buttress fill along the face of the slopes. The design of that buttress
fill is graphically illustrated on ESNW's Plate 3 (a typical cross section of the proposed fill),
which is one of three ESNW plates ( drawings or figures) included in the Geo technical and Soil
Engineering Report immediately following the report's main text and preceding the report's
attached appendices. Please examine Plate 3 (see Appendix 9 for a copy of Plate 3). In addition
to depicting both (a) the proposed crushed aggregate buttress fill along the slope's face and (b)
the core structural fill that is proposed behind the buttress fill, Plate 3 depicts proposed geogrid
reinforcing of the fill slope.
Fill material specifications (both for the buttress fill material and for the fill material to be
used for the fill's core behind the proposed buttress fill zone) are set forth on pages 8 and 9 of the
Geotechnical and Soil Engineering Report. Placement and compaction specifications for the
proposed fill are set forth on pages 9 and 10 of the report.
While the buttress fill is explained and addressed in several portions of the Geotechnical
and Soil Engineering Report, the following excerpt from page 34 of the report summarizes
several of the important benefits of the proposed buttress fill slope face (slope stability and
resistance to erosion, as well as other benefits):
The proposed crushed aggregate buttress fill along the slope face [ a fill proposed
to taper in horizontal depth from (1) a 35-foot depth at the toe of the proposed
new l.5H:IV engineered fill slope tapering to (2) a 5-foot depth at the top of the
slope] will not only be excellent for providing slope stability and preventing
slope erosion, it will also provide a porous, nonerosive aggregate facing of the
proposed slope face (see Plate 3), a facing that will be excellent for vertically
transmitting and dispersing through the crushed aggregate buttress zone both (a)
rainwater that strikes the slope's face and (b) any hillside perched groundwater
that may seep into the buttress fill zone from the fill core. This will eliminate
any need for terracing the slope. Because of the porous, nonerosive
characteristics of the proposed fill slope face, vegetation of the slope face will
not be needed to prevent erosion and, because the facing will not be conducive
to landscaping, other plantings, or hydroseeding, vegetation of the slope face will
not be appropriate and is not being proposed.
(Emphasis added.)
2. Promotion of the Progressive Rehabilitation
of Grading Sites to a Suitable New Use
The requested modification concerning the proposed 1.5H: 1 V maximum fill slopes
would make possible the creation of a large enough primary future developable area to make
City of Renton Department of Community and Economic Development
Attn: Chip Vincent, Administrator, and Vanessa Dolbee, Planning Division Manager
June 1, 2015
Page 45
feasible the construction of a public street and utilities infrastructure within the parcel and
construction of capital-intensive buildings and uses on the existing partially graded site. (The
primary grading of the subject parcel took place in relation to the Sunset Bluff residential project,
which was halted as a result of the collapse of the housing market during the recent nationwide
recession. Due to that housing-market collapse, the subject parcel was rezoned to IL-Light
Industrial during December 2010.) The requested modification would thus promote progressive
rehabilitation of the subject grading site to a suitable new use, which is a purpose consistent with
RMC 4-4-060.A.2.
3. Promotion of Economic, Systematic, and
Uninterrupted Grading Activities
By approving the modification and thereby making possible the creation of a large-
enough primary future developable area to make feasible the construction of a public street and
utilities infrastructure within the subject parcel and construction of capital-intensive buildings
and uses on the primary future developable area, economic, systematic, and uninterrupted
grading activities would be promoted, which is a purpose consistent with RMC 4-4-060.A.4.
D. The Requested Modification for the Proposed Slope Will Substantially
Implement the Policy Direction of the Policies and Objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and the Community Design Element,
and the Proposed Modification is the Minimum Adjustment Necessary to
Implement These Policies and Objectives.
1. Substantial Implementation of the Policies and Objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and the Community Design
Element
Although constructed slopes are not specifically addressed in the Policies and Objectives
of either the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element or the Community Design Element, as
explained below approval of the requested modification will nevertheless substantially
implement several of the following policies and objectives.
First, the requested modification will substantially implement Policy LU-290, Objective
LU-HHH, and Policy LU 303, which state:
Policy LU-290. The City should endeavor to expand its present economic base,
emphasizing new technologies, research and development facilities, science
parks, and high-technology centers, and supporting commercial and office land
uses.
City of Renton Department of Community and Economic Development
Attn: Chip Vincent, Administrator, and Vanessa Dolbee, Planning Division Manager
June 1, 2015
Page 46
Objective LU-HHH: Provide for a mix of employment-based uses, including
commercial, office, and industrial development to support the economic
development of the City of Renton.
Policy LU-303. Develop the Green River Valley ('The Valley") and !he Black
River Valley (located between Sunset Blvd and SW Grady Way) areas as places
for a range and variety of commercial, office, and industrial.
(Italics and underlining added.) Because the aesthetic setting and privacy of the subject parcel in
the Black River Valley and the parcel's overlook of the forested area and Valley to the south
would be highly conducive to research and development facilities, a science park, a
high-technology center, and various commercial and otlice uses, as well as to various light industrial
uses, the modification will substantially implement Policy LU-290, Objective LU-HHH, and
Policy LU-303 by allowing the size and geometry of the proposed, nearly flat plateau portion of
the parcel to be adequate to support construction of a street and utilities and capital-intensive
buildings that would be conducive for such land uses.
Second, the requested modification will substantially implement Objective LU-FFF and
Policy LU-306, which state:
Objective LU-FFF: Promote the development of low impact, light industrial
uses, particularly those within the high-technology category, in Employment
Area-Valley and Employment Area-Industrial designations where potentially
adverse impacts can be mitigaled.
Policy LU-306. Uses such as research, design, and development facilities should
be allowed in office designations and industrial designations when potential
adverse impacts to surrounding uses can be mitigated.
(Italics and underlining added.) Because (1) approval of the requested modification would help
provide opportunity for development of low impact light industrial land uses, including those
within the high-technology category and including research, design, and development facilities
in the Employment Area-Valley designation and (2) the proposed filling, excavation, and grading
project has been designed to avoid and mitigate potential adverse impacts [see the following
documents submitted as part of and in support of Pointe Heron LLC's Grade and Fill Permit
application: (a) ESNW's August 13, 2014 Pointe Heron Geotechnical and Soil Engineering
Report (especially pages 21 to 36), (b) Raedeke Associates, Inc.'s QIP!Virtu!Sunset Bluff
(MLDC) Properties Wetland & Stream Delineation Update 2014 technical memorandum, and (c)
Raedeke Associates, Inc.'s 2014 Great Blue Heron & Wildlife Habitat Update technical
memorandum], approval of the requested modification would promote the types of development
and facilities advocated by Objective LU-FFF and Policy LU-306.

Page 47
Third, the requested modification will substantially implement four portions of Policy
LU-308, a policy: that states:
Policy L U-308. Changes from one zone to another should be considered to
achieve a balance of uses that substantially improves the City's economic I
employment base. Factors such as increasing the City's tax base. improving
efficiency in the use of the land and the ability of a proposed land use to mitigate
potential adverse land use impacts should be considered.
(Italics and underlining added.) It is certainly true that consideration of the topic of"[c]hanges
from one zone to another" is the particular context in which Policy LU-308 is framed. However,
Policy LU-308 sets forth four broader underlying policy directions and/or considerations that are
implicated by the requested modification: namely, (1) the desirability of achieving a balance of
uses that substantially improves the City's economic/employment base, (2) the desirability of
increasing the City's tax base, (3) the desirability of improving efficiency in the use o(the land,
and ( 4) consideration of the ability of a proposed land use to mitigate potential adverse land use
impacts. As noted above, the proposed filling, excavation, and grading project has been
designed to avoid and mitigate potential adverse impacts. That being the case, because, by
allowing the size and geometry of the proposed nearly flat plateau portion of the subject parcel to
be adequate to support construction of both a street and capital-intensive buildings that will be
conducive for land uses that may help the City achieve a balance of uses that will (a)
substantially improve the City's economic/employment base, (b) increase the City's tax base,
and (c) especially improve efficiency in the use o(the Pointe Heron LLC land, approval of the
requested modification will substantially implement Policy LU-308.
Fourth, the requested modification will substantially implement Policy CD-30, Policy
CD-33, and Policy CD-50. Those three policies state:
Policy CD-30. Non-residential development should have site plans that provide
street access from a principal arterial, consolidate access points to existing
streets, and have internal vehicular circulation that supports shared access. Curb
cuts and internal access should not conflict with pedestrian circulation.
Policy CD-33. Site design for office uses and commercial and mixed-use
developments should consider weys of improving transit ridership through siting,
locating of pedestrian amenities, walkways, parking, etc. Ground floor uses and
design should be pedestrian-oriented.
Policy CD-50. Support site plans that transition to and blend with existing
development patterns using techniques such as lot size, depth and width, access
points, building location setbacks, and landscaping. Sensitivity to unique features
and differences among established neighborhoods should be reflected in site plan
design. Interpret development standards to support ground-related orientation,
City of Renton Department of Community and Economic Development
Attn: Chip Vincent, Administrator, and Vanessa Dolbee, Planning Division Manager
June 1, 2015
Page 48
coordinated structural design, and private yards or substantial common space
areas.
(Italics and underlining added.)
Relevant to Policy CD-30, the design grades proposed to be constructed in the Grade and
Fill Project Site are conducive to future street access from Sunset Boulevard, which is a Renton
principal arterial. In view of that fact, approval of the requested modification will enable the
design grades to be constructed and, thus, substantially implement Policy CD-30.
Relevant to Policy CD-33 is the fact that the proposed fill will raise elevations in much of
the primary future developable area up to a 125-to-128-foot grade range of the proposed,
relatively flat developable area of the parcel, which (as mentioned on pages 22 and 23, above) is
a roughly mid-level grade range between
(a) The average of the existing elevations (an average elevation of about 193
feet) along the segment of SW Sunset Boulevard lying to the north of the
Project Site, elevations that range from (i) about 164 feet to the north of
the Project Site's east end to (ii) about 222 feet to the north of the Project
Site's west end, and
(b) The average of the existing elevations (an average elevation of about 45
feet) of the south boundary of the Pointe Heron LLC parcel along or to the
south of the Project Site ( elevations that generally range from about 40 to
50 feet).
Such flattening of the proposed plateau portion of the Project Site and such raising of some of
the parcel's elevations will create a much more readily walkable trip to and from bus stops along
Sunset Boulevard (bus stops near the boulevard's intersection with the future Pointe Heron
primary access street) for employees of future businesses on the Pointe Heron parcel. Thus, by
encouraging future transit ridership, approval of the requested modification will substantially
implement Policy CD-33.
Relevant to Policy CD-50 is the fact that the proposed modification request is for a
l.SH:1 V south-edge fill slope, which is a fill slope similar to the l.SH:1 V south-edge fill slopes
that were constructed under permits issued by the City of Renton for both (I) the portions of the
subject parcel itself that abut the west and the east edges of the proposed 1.5H: IV south-edge fill
slope and (2) the eastern portion of the Stoneway Black River Quarry property that abuts the
west end of the subject Pointe Heron LLC parcel. The proposed modification request is for a
I.SH: IV south-edge fill slope that will transition to and directly blend with those abutting
existing I.SH: IV fill slopes. Under Policy CD-50, that transitioning and blending should be
supported by approval of the requested modification, which will substantially implement that
policy.

2. The Proposed Modification Is the Minimum Adjustment Necessary to
Implement the Above-Quoted Policies and Objectives.
This letter's subsection lV.A.7 [Demonstration That (A) the Primary Future Developable
Area Is Barely Wide Enough to Make Viable Its Contemplated Future Development Even with a
South-Edge Fill Slope as Steep as the Proposed l.5H:IV Maximum South-Edge Fill Slope and
(B) a Flatter Maximum South-Edge Fill Slope Than the Slope Proposed Would Be
Impractica[j-see pages 30 through 40, above-and the Appendices cited therein demonstrate
that the proposed modification is the minimum adjustment necessary to implement the above-
quoted and -discussed Comprehensive Plan policies and objectives.
Note in particular from pages 39 to 40, above, that in view of the combination of
(I) The need to maintain as a minimum depth along the length of the primary
future developable area a 178-foot depth (which is the depth of the
approximately 178-foot-deep by 660-foot-long strip of that area south of
the proposed stormwater detention pond-a depth that is only 2.58 times
the 69-foot-width of the contemplated future street right-of-way and a strip
that is nearly half the length (49 percent) of the entire primary future
developable area-in order to physically accommodate the scale of future
buildings necessary to make the development viable in view of the
ultimate overall contemplated financial investment to be made in the
development-see footnote 22 on page 36, above,
(2) The massive expense of the proposed grading, excavation, and filling
project [including the replacement of the existing stormwater detention
pond with a massive new pond at a more maintainable location along part
of the proposed mid-elevation plateau-a pond that will cost as much or
more than the pond that is currently planned for the proposed I.SH: 1 V
south-edge fill slope if the proposed south-edge fill slope is required to be
any flatter than currently proposed 31 ( even though the primary future
developable area would be reduced in size by any flattening of that
proposed slope)],
(3) The massive later expense of constructing a street and associated utilities
along the street right-of-way to serve development on only one side of the
street [with (a) the ratio of the length of the future street to the primary
future developable area already high at 225 lineal feet of street per acre of
such primary future developable area even with the proposed 1.5H: IV
south-edge fill slope and (b) the street and associated utilities along the
31 See the second paragraph of footnote 21, a footnote that begins on page 32, above.

street to be no shorter or to have no less a total cost if the proposed south-
edge fill slope is required to be any flatter than is currently proposed even
though the primary future developable area would be reduced in size by
any flattening of that proposed slope], and
(4) The additional land consumption for the Total New Constructed Support
Area associated with making the south-edge fill slope any flatter than the
I.SH: IV design that is proposed [ additional land consumption that would
increase the already very high I 08.3% ratio of (a) the Total New
Constructed Support Area (based on a I.SH: 1 V south-edge fill slope) to
(b) the primary future developable area (based on a I.SH:! V south-edge
fill slope) to an even higher ratio],
if the proposed south-edge fill slope is required to be any flatter than the I.SH: IV design that is
proposed, the applicant's contemplated future development of capital-intensive future buildings
within the parcel's primary future developable area and with an adjacent public street for access
would be rendered financially infeasible and impractical.
E. The Requested Modification Will Meet the Objectives and Safety, Function,
Appearance, Environmental Protection, and Maintainability Intended by the Code
Requirements, Based on Sound Engineering Judgment.
Pages 40 through 51 of ESNW's August 2014 Pointe Heron Geotechnical and Soil
Engineering Report demonstrate that the now-proposed I .SH: IV south-edge engineered fill slope
greater than 15 feet in height is designed to fully address and conform to all applicable
provisions of Subsection N (FILL) of the applicable section of the code, RMC Section 4-4-060
(except for above-quoted RMC 4-4-060N6's second sentence, the sentence regarding
modifications in relation to fill-slope steepness). Furthermore, the entirety of the ESNW report
demonstrates that the now-proposed I.SH: 1 V engineered fill slope is designed to fully meet the
objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection, and maintainability
intended by the code requirements, based on sound engineering judgment.
As explained in detail in my August 18, 2014 letter to you, Ms. Dolbee (a copy of which
letter, along with all of the exhibits attached thereto, is attached to this letter as Appendix 1 ), in
2004 the City approved the design of a then-proposed I .SH: IV engineered fill slope greater than
15 feet in height along the south edge of most of the east half of the Stoneway Black River
Quarry property (property that lies west of and abuts roughly the southern half of the subject
parcel's west boundary). As also explained in detail in my August 18, 2014 letter to you (and
supported by the exhibits attached thereto and included in this Appendix I), in 2004 and 2005
the City approved 1.5H: 1 V engineered fill slopes greater than 15 feet in height both (I) along the
south edge of the subject parcel (to both the west and the east of the area that became the Sunset
Bluff Stormwater Detention Pond) and (2) within the easternmost end of the Stoneway Black
River Quarry property.

Page 51
Now, in order to fill in the gap along the south boundary between those previously-
approved and -constructed I.SH: IV engineered fill slopes, and in order to extend upward the
portions of the existing fill slopes to the east and west within the subject parcel in accordance
with the design grades set forth on the Barghausen Grading Plans submitted as part of the subject
Grade and Fill Permit application, it is appropriate that the requested modification be approved
because the proposed engineered fill design is similar to the design and construction of the
existing engineered fill and will have the same basic appearance as the slopes that were
previously approved and have now existed for many years on the subject parcel.
F. The Requested Modification Will Not Be Injurious to Other Property(ies) in the
Vicinity.
See subsection IV .C. l (Safety of the Proposed Fill Slopes and the Protection of Areas
and Uses in the Vicinity of Those Slopes), which begins on page 42 and ends on page 44, above,
and the materials cited therein.
G. The Requested Modification Conforms to the Intent and Purpose of the Code.
See subsection IV.C (The Requested Modification for the Proposed Slope Is in
Conformity with the Intent and Purpose of the Code), which begins on page 41 and ends on page
45, above, and the materials cited therein.
H. The Requested Modification Can Be Shown to Be Justified and Required for the
Use and Situation Intended.
See subsection IV.A, a subsection that begins on page 13 and ends on page 40, above,
and the materials cited therein.
I. The Requested Modification Will Not Create Adverse Impacts to Other
Property(ies) in the Vicinity.
See subsection IV .C. I (Safety of the Proposed Fill Slopes and the Protection of Areas
and Uses in the Vicinity of Those Slopes), which begins on page 42 and extends into page 44,
above, and the materials cited therein.
V. In View of Procedure 4 of RMC 4-3-0SON2a(ii), Pointe Heron LLC Recognizes That
That Procedure Contemplates That Any Proposed Fill Slope Created Which Remains
Forty Percent (40%) or Steeper following the Proposed Site Development Shall Be
Subject to All Applicable Geologic Hazard Regulations for Steep Slopes and Landslide
Hazards in RMC Section 4-3-050.

Pointe Heron LLC recognizes that Procedure 4 of RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii) contemplates that
any proposed fill slope created pursuant to the Pointe Heron Grade and Fill Permit that remains
forty percent ( 40%) or steeper following the proposed site development shall be subject to all
applicable geologic hazard regulations for steep slopes and landslide hazards in RMC Section 4-
3-050 (Critical Areas Regulations).
VI. The Requested Modification Is Based on Consideration of Best Available Science as
Described in WAC 365-195-905 as Called for in Procedure 5 of RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii).
As a compilation of modeling, assessment, and expert opinion by Scott S. Riegel, a
licensed geologist and licensed engineering geologist, and Kyle R. Campbell, a registered
professional engineer, under Table 1 set forth in subsection (5)(a)6(b)(Common sources of
scientific information) of WAC 365-195-905, ESNW's August 2014 Geotechnical and Soils
Engineering Report constitutes Best Available Science as described in WAC 365-195-905.

RE: My Client Pointe Heron LLC's Grade and Fill Permit Application for a Proposed Filling,
Excavation, and Grading Project within a 14.12-Acre Project Site Portion of Lot 1 of the
SR 900 L.L.C. Lot Line Adjustment (Rec.# 20040311900015)
Explanation of (1) the Existing Fill Slopes, (2) Proposed Fill Slopes within the
Project Site, and (3) Why the Proposed Fill Slopes Should Be Approved by the City
without Either an Exception through Modification or a Variance
Dear Ms. Dolbee:
In follow-up to previous discussions that Pointe Heron LLC's Jim Blais and I have had
with you, I am writing to address certain slope matters relating to my client Pointe Heron LLC's
Grade and Fill Permit application for a proposed filling, excavation, and grading project, and
specifically to address certain provisions of RMC 4-3-050J and RMC 4-4-060.
Let me start by both (1) describing the parcel of land that encompasses the proposed
14.12-acre project site and (2) explaining (in view of RMC 4-3-050Jla(i)) the lack of existing
"protected slopes" within the project site.
Comments Concerning the Parcel of Land that Encompasses
the Proposed Grade & Fill Permit Project Site
The Pointe Heron Grade and Fill Permit project site lies within an approximately 14.12-
acre portion of a single parcel of land, Lot 1 of the SR 900 L.L.C. Lot Line Adjustment (King
County Recording Number 20040311900015). That parcel encompasses approximately 26.26
acres. As you know, the 65 residential lots contemplated by the previously approved Sunset
Bluff Preliminary Plat were all designed to lie within that parcel. During the clearing, initial
grading, and temporary erosion/sedimentation control phase of the Sunset Bluff residential
subdivision development project, the currently existing stormwater detention and water quality
pond was constructed along the west-central part of Lot l's south edge.

The Lack of Existing "Protected Slopes" within the
Project Site in View of RMC 4-3-0SOJla(i)
On May 28, 2014, I had my legal assistant use the City of Renlon·s publicly available
GIS mapping site to create a ·'Regulated Slopes Overlay" exhibit encompassing the above-
referenced single parcel of land within which the subject Point Heron Filling, Excavation, and
Grading Project site lies. (Sec attached Exhibit A-1.)
Subsequently, on August 12, 2014, l had my legal assistant create a similar map exhibit
(see attached Exhibit A-JJ, one that (1) utilizes everything that is shown on Exhibit A-l as base
infonnation and (2) has superimposed on it a dashed line outlining the limits of the Pointe Heron
LLC Grade and Fill Project Site. Those limits are consistent with the pro_ject site limits depicted
on Sheets El, E2, E3, E5, and E6 of Barghausen Consulting Engineers, lnc.'s ten-sheet Au1,,ust
2014 Grade and Fill Penni! application set of Grading, Interim Drainage, E.S.C., and
Rehabilitation Plans. (In this letter, l refer to that ten-sheet set of plans as the "Barghausen
Grading Plans.")
In view of the City's G!S map legend of the various-listed slope ranges on the Exhibit A-
l G!S base map that my legal assistant downloaded from tl1e Renton GIS mapping site (with the
map legend indicating that red-shading denotes slopes greater than 40% and less than or equal to
90% as '·protected slopes" and that purple-shading denotes slopes greater than 90% also as
"protected slopes"), the clear absence of any red-or purple-colored areas within the Project Site
outlined on Exhibit A-J indicates that no areas of·'protected slopes'" lie within the Project Site.
~ote that Section l (Applicability) of RMC 4-3-0501 (Geologic Hazards) states in its
entirety:
l. Applicability: The geologic hazard regulations applv to all nonexempt
activities on sites containing sleep slopes, landslide hazards. erosion hazards,
seismic hazards, and/or coal mine hazards classified below or on sites within fifty
feet (50') of steep slopes, landslide hazards, erosion hazards. seismic hazards.
and/or coal mine hazards classified below which are located on abutting or
adjacent sites.
a. Steep Slopes:
i. Steep Slope Delineation Procedure: The boundaries of a regulated
steep sensitive or protected slope are determined to be in the location
identified on the City of Renton 's Steep Slope Atlas. An applicant's
qualified professional may substitute boundaries indcpendentlv derived
from survey data for the City's consideration in determining the

boundaries of sensitive or protected steep slopes. All topographic maps
shall utilize two foot (2') contour intervals or the standard utilized in the
City of Renton Steep Slope Atlas.
it Steep Slope Types:
(a) Sensitive slopes.
(b) Protected slopes.
(Boldfacing in the code text; underlining and italics added.) Above-quoted R.'v1C 4-3-050Jla(i)
provides a permit applicant with a very dear option of having the applicant's project application
reviewed based on either (1) utilizing the boundaries of protected slopes in the location(s)
identified on the City of Renton's Steep Slope Atlas or (b) having the applicant's qualified
professional substitute boundaries independently derived from survey data for the City's
consideration in determining the boundaries of sensitive or protected sieep slopes. Pointe Heron
LLC hereby opts for the former.
Because (1) Poini Heron LLC opts to have the "the boundaries of ... regulated protected
slopes ... determined to he in the location identified on the City of Renton 's Steep Slope
Atlas" and (2) the accompanying Exhibit A-2 map (a map that is a City of Renton GIS-based
illustration of the City of Renton's Steep Slope Atlas) depicts no '"protected slopes" anywhere
within the Pointe Heron Project Site, the geologic hazard regulations concerning protected
slopes do nor apply to the Project Site.1 That being the case, RMC 4-3-050J5a's prohibition on
development of protected slopes is inapplicable to any of rhe Project Site portion of the Pointe
Heron LLC parcel.
1 The Exhibit A-2 map makes clear that no protected slopes lie within the Project Site. although the map depicts in
red four areas of protected slopes within the portion of the subject parcel to the cast of the project site. Sheet El of
the above-ref'erenced set of Barghausen Grading Plans for the proposed project depicts those four areas of protected
slopes and their approximate respective square footages: namely, from west to east, Protected Slope Area 1 (which
Barghauscn determined encompasses approximately 5,299 square feet), Protected Slope Arca 2 (which
Barghausen detennined encompasses approximately 68,936 square feet), Protected Slope Area 3 ( which
Barghausen detennined encompasses approximately 2,241 squar~ feet), and Protected Slope Area 4 (which
Barghausen detennined encompasses approximately 1,532 square feet). Sheet EI also depicts the minimum
distance ( 110 feet) between the westerlymost protected slope area (Protected Slope Area 1) and the nearest
eastern edge of the Projecr Site.

Pointe Heron LLC's Proposal to Create Certain Areas of Permanent
I.SH: 1 V Engineered Fill Slopes That Will Exceed Fifteen feet (15') in
Height within and along the Southerly Part of the Project Site
Pointe Heron LLC proposes to create within and along the southerly and southeasterly
part of the Project Site a permanent 1.5H: l V engineered fill slope using controlled aggregate
material [i.e., a slope of approximately sixty-seven percent (67%)], a slope that for the most part
will exceed fifteen feet ( 15') in height. A cross-sectional view of the proposed slopc's design
prepared by the Pointe Heron project's geotcehnical and soil engineering firm, Earth Solutions
'.'JW, LLC ("ESNW''), as Plate 3 to ES:-IW's August 13, 2014 Geotechnical and Soil
Engineering Report in Support of' Proposed Fill, Excavation, and Grade, Poinle !feron LLC
Parcel (referred to herein as the ''Geotechnieal Report" or the ''Soil Engineering Report'') is
attached to this letter as Exhibit B to give you a clear idea of the slope's planned design. As
highlights of the design, please note:
(I) That Plate 3 (Exhibit B) illustrates the proposed "buttress fill" zone along
the fill's face (the specification of the buttress fill material set forth in the
Soil Engineering Report at page 4 indicates that it is "equivalent to coarse
gravel and/or cobble");
(2) The last of the bullet point notes in the upper-left-hand comer of Plate 3
(Exhibit B) states that ·'Buttress Fill shall taper from a minimum
horizontal depth of 35 teet at base to 5 feet at top of slope" (which is a
thick depth of material progressively thicker toward the bottom of the
slope);
(3) The proposed ·'core structural fill" zone behind the "buttress fill" zone;
and
( 4) The proposed geogrid reinforcing.
With the 1.5H: IV rate of slope and the gcogrid reinforcing, the design of the proposed slope is
comparable to the design that the City approved in 2004 and 2005.
For important context, 1 explain below the following four things:

(1) The existing, similar adjacent l.5H:1V engineered fill slopes to the west
and east that the proposed fill slope is intended tc, cormect to and extend
' up from-;
(2) The permits that the City issued for those existing slopes;
(3) The desib'Tl drawings and soil engineering reports that the City approved
for those existing slopes: and
(4) That, due lo RMC 4-4-060N1 's first sentence, neither any exceptions
through modification nor any variances (a) were needed from the City in
order to obtain the construction/building permits for the previously
approved and constructed 1.5H: 1 V slopes to the west and east of the
proposed slope or (b) are needed from the City now.
As I elaborate below, in view of the effect of R\1C 4-4-060N 1 's first sentence, neither any
exception through modification nor any variance is needed from the City in order to obtain the
construction permit for the now-proposed infill slope if the ultimately approved soil engineering
report for the proposed slope recommends the slope' s proposed design,

In View of R:vIC 4-4-060Nl 's First Sentence,
neither Modifications nor Variances Arc
Needed from the City to Obtain the
Construction/Building Permits for the Now-
Existing Geogrid-Reinforced Slopes,
ft is important to note that because of the first sentence of paragraph 1 (Applicability and
Exemptions) of subsection N (F!LLS) of RMC Section 4-4-060 (GRAD!NG, EXCAVATION
AND M!NING REGL:LAT!ONS), neither modifications [under RMC 4-9-25001 for one of the
circumstances listed in RMC 4-3-050N2a(ii) (Geologic Hazards -Modifications)] nor variances
were needed in order to secure the building/construction permits issued during 2004 and 2005 for
the above-referenced, similar engineered fill slopes that were greater than 40 percent (40%) in
slope and greater than fifteen feet (15') in height constructed under those permits. Paragraph 1 of
RY!C 4-4-060N states:
1. Applicability and Exemptions: Unless otherwise recommended in the
approved soil engineering report. fills shall conform ta the provisions o/° this
Section. In the absence of an approved soil engineering report, these provisions
may be waived for minor fills not intended to support structures. For minor fills or
waste areas, humps, hollows or water pockets shall be graded smooth with
acceptable slopes.
(Boldfacing in the code text; underlining and italics added for emphasis.) Please bear in mind
that the phrase ·'this Section" at the end of the first sentence in Paragraph 1 of RMC 4-4-060"\'
refers to RMC Section 4-4-060 in its entirety.
The existing south-edge slope to the west and the existing south-edge slope east of the
now-proposed new Pointe Heron 1.5 H: 1 V fill slope south of the existing Sunset Bluff detention
pond-existing slopes that were authorized by the City and constructed under Construction
Pennit Number C040257, Building Permit Number B050337, and Construction Permit Number
U050099-were all recommended in the soil engineering reports prepared by Earth
Consultants, Inc. TI10se reports were ( 1) submitted to the City for review as part of the subject
construction and building permit application submittals and (2) (by virtue of the City's issuance
of the construction and building pem1its for the slopes) appro\'cd by the City.
ln view of the fact that the approved soils engineering reports recommended the 1.51-I: l V
slopes to the west and east of the now-existing detention pond (slopes much steeper than 40
percent and higher than 15 feet), the second sentence of RMC 4-4-060N6 5-a sentence

creation of permanent slopes forts; percent (40%) or greater which are Jz:fieen feet (15') in
height~did not applv to those slopes. That being the case, a modification was not necessary
for the construction of the slopes to the west and east that were constructed under those permits.
"!either a Modification nor a Variance Will Be Needed in
Order to Obtain the Grade and Fill Permit and
Construction/Building Permit(s) for the Similar Proposed
Engineered Fill Slope Because the Soil Engineering Report
for the Proposed Slope Supports and Recommends the
Proposed Design and, in All Fairness, That Soil
Engineering Report Should Be Approved as Were the
Reports for the Earlier Slopes to the West and East
As was the case with the City's approval of the originally approved and constructed
structural fill slopes to the west and east of the now-proposed in-fill slope along the site's south
boundary, in view of RMC 4-4-060Nl 's first sentence neither a modification nor a variance will
be needed from the City in order to obtain the fill and grade permit and construction/building
pe1mit(s) for the now-proposed slope because the Soil Engineering Report for the proposed
slope-a report rhat (I) competentlv demonstrates rhe appropriateness of and recommends the
slope 's proposed design and (2) in al/fairness thus should be approved. (See the accompanying
copy ofESNW's August 13, 2014 report.)
Pages 40 through 51 of the Soil Engineering Report demonstrates that the now-proposed
fill slope is designed to fully address and confom1 to all of the applicable provisions of
Subsection N (FILL) ofRMC Section 4-4-060-see pages 40 through 51 of the Soil Engineering
Report, except for RMC 4-4-060N6's second sentence (the sentence regarding exceptions
through modifications). However, due to the soil engineering report's recommendation of the
proposed slopc·s design, that sentence ·will not be applicable (and will thus not bar construction
of' prohibited slopes without an exception through modification) if the City approves the soil

engineering report like it did in approving the slopes 10 the west and the east as it did in 2004
and 2005. The City continues to have the power to do that.
Having approved 1.5H: IV slopes along the south edge in 2004 and 2005, it is appropriate
for the City to allow Pointe Heron LLC to fill in the gap with essentially the same slope and
thereby enable Pointe Heron to create a relatively flat area of the site suitable for development of
one or more IL-permitted uses.
Please let me know if you or your colleagues have any questions concerning this and if
this would be an acceptable way to move this matter forward.

As requested, Earth Consultants, Inc. (ECI) is pleased to present this letter providing
recommendations for constructing a 1.5H: 1 V (Horizontal:Vertical) fill slope at the subject site.
We previously prepared the referenced geotechnical engineering study for this project. In
preparing this letter, we reviewed our previous work, visited the subject site to review the
current site conditions, and conducted additional engineering analyses. The letter presents a
summary of our review, observations, and analyses.
Project Description
The existing Stoneway Black River Quarry has been in operation for several decades. As part
of quarry operation, in the summer and fall of 2000 a fifty (50) to seventy (70) foot high,
1 H: 1 V fill slope was constructed in the southeast portion of the quarry. The face of the fill
was constructed ot two layers of five to eight foot diameter boulders.

In February 2001 , we prepared the above-referenced geotechnical engineering study
evaluating the condition of the rock and the fill. As part of our study, two borings were
drilled behind the rock facing. Our borings indicated that the fill primarily consists of dense to
very dense silty sand with gravel. As described in our referenced study, in our opinion, the
fill was competent but the rock facing was susceptible to rapid weathering. As a means of
remedying the situation, in our referenced study we provided recommendations for
constructing a retaining wall at the toe of the slope and then facing the rock slope with a
geogrid reinforced structural fill. The reinforced fill would have a finished slope inclination of
1.5H:1V.
At this time, we understand that you now plan to reconstruct the entire slope, with the
process to consist of removing the rock facing and rebuilding the slope as a 1.5H: 1 V
geotextile reinforced structural fill. Except for an approximately 140-foot long by 10-foot
high ecology block wall to be installed along a portion of the toe of slope, no other retaining
wall will be constructed at the toe of the slope. The completed 1.5H: 1 V reinforced fill slope
will be about 1,500 feet long and will range up to about 25 feet in height.
Site Conditions
In March and April 2004, representatives from our firm visited the subject site to review the
condition of the slope. During this period, we also observed the removal of the existing rock
face. The soils exposed below the rock facing consist of existing fill comprised of dense to
very dense silty sand with gravel, cobbles, and boulders. Concrete rubble was present in the
fill.
No seepage was observed emerging from the slope.
Discussion and Recommendations
Based on the results of our review and observations, in our opinion, the existing slope can be
reconstructed generally as planned. Fill slopes are typically not constructed steeper than
2H:1 V. In order to construct a 1.5H:1 V fill slope, the slope will need to be reinforced with a
geotextile fabric.
The geotextile reinforcement should consist of woven fabric, such as Mirafi 600X or an
approved equivalent. The fabric should be rolled out parallel to the slope and should extend
six feet into the fill. The reinforcement should be placed with a vertical spacing of at least
three feet. A schematic representation of the reinforcement embedment and spacing is
shown on the attached Plate 1.

Page 3
The fabric must be placed without wrinkles and should be held tight with stakes. In no case
should equipment operate directly on the fabric.
The fill to construct the slope is to be generated from on-site cuts. We anticipate that this
soil will consist of silty sand with gravel.
The fill will need to be keyed and benched into the ex1st1ng slope. This process should
consist of excavating a keyway at the toe of the planned fill and cutting a series of benches
up the slope as the fill is brought up. The keyway should have a width of about six to eight
feet and should extend at least two feet into dense, competent soils. The slope above the
keyway should then be cut into a series of horizontal to slightly inward sloping benches.
Typically, the benches are excavated with a small bulldozer as the fill is brought up. The
width of the benches will vary with the gradient of the slope, usually the gentler the slope,
the wider the benches.
The structural fill should be compacted in one-foot loose lifts to at least 95 percent of the
maximum dry density as determined by the Modified Proctor Method (ASTM 0-1557). Due
to the moisture sensitive nature of the site soils, placement and compaction of the structural
fill should be performed during dry weather. An ECI representative should observe the fill
placement and should test compaction of the structural fill and verify placement of the
geotextile reinforcement.
Based on our experience with similar projects, a key element in successfully constructing a
1.5H:1V fill slope is obtaining adequate compaction out to the face of the slope. In order to
obtain compaction out to the slope face, in our opinion a large "hoe-pac" should be used on
the outer edge of the fill and on the slope face. The completed slope should then be track-
walked with a small dozer. As the fill is brought up, the contractor should minimize the
spilling of loose soil over the face of the slope.
The completed slopes should be covered with an erosion mat, such as jute netting, and
seeded with an appropriate species of vegetation to reduce erosion and improve stability of
the slope surface.

Ecology Block Wall Recommendations
E-9543-1
Page 4
In our opinion, the proposed ecology block wall can be constructed at the toe of the slope.
We understand the wall will be about 140 feet long and range up to ten feet high. The
ecology blocks have a typical dimension of two feet high, two feet deep, and six feet long.
The backfill behind the wall will need to be reinforced with a geogrid. A detail illustrating
our design recommendations is provided as Plate 2.
Before constructing the walls, the wall alignment and reinforced backfill zone should be
cleared and grubbed. This process should include removing topsoil, vegetation. duff, or
other organic or deleterious material. A representative from ECI should then observe the
prepared subgrade.
The base course of blocks should be placed on a six-inch thick, two-foot wide leveling
course of crushed rock or recycled concrete.
The design does not provide for resistance against hydrostatic loading. In order to drain
the walls and prevent hydrostatic pressures from building up, the wall backfill should
include an eighteen I 181 inch wide layer of free-draining gravel that extends along the
entire height of the wall. A four-inch diameter perforated collector pipe should be placed at
the bottom of the free-draining gravel layer.
Geogrid Placement
The wall backfill will need to be reinforced with a geogrid. Our design is based on the use
of geogrids manufactured by Synteen. The geogrids should be placed in direct accordance
with the manufacturer's recommendations with specific consideration given to the proper
orientation of the geogrids. Splicing of the geogrid along the embedment length shall not
be allowed. Prior to placing fill, the geog rid reinforcement should be pulled tight to remove
any slack in the reinforcement and around the connecting pins. This can be accomplished
by pulling the grids taught and holding them in place using stakes or sandbags. The fill
materials should then be placed from the back of the blocks towards the tails of the
geogrids to allow further tensioning of the soil reinforcement. The geogrid lengths should
be placed side by side such that 100 percent coverage is achieved.
In no case should tracked equipment be allowed to pass over the exposed grids.
The wall backfill should be compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum dry density per
ASTM D-1557. Modified Proctor.

The base course of blocks should be placed on a six-inch thick, two-foot wide leveling
course of crushed rock.
Construction Monitoring
The ecology block wall and slope construction should be observed and monitored by a
representative from ECI. The purpose of our monitoring will be to verify our recommendations
are followed and to observe and test the structural fill. Upon completion of the wall and
slope, we will provide a written letter summarizing our observations.
We trust this information meets your current needs. If you have any questions or need
additional information, please contact us.

SLOPE FILL PLACEMENT NOTES:
• Slope should be stripped of vegetation and unsuitable
materials prior to excavating key way or benches.
• Benches are typically equal to a dozer blade width,
approximately 8 feet, but a minimum of 4 feet.
• Final Slope gradient should be 1.5 : 1 (Horizontal : Vertical).
• Final Slope face should be denslfied by over-building with
compacted fill and trimming back to shape or by compaction
with dozer or roller.
• The slope should be hydroseeded with a seed mis intended
for use on slopes.
• The slope should be covered Jute malting or geotechnlcal fabric
to maintain the seed and mulch In place until the root
system has an opportunity to germinate.
• Structural FIii should be placed In thin loose lifts not exceeding
12 Inches In thickness. Each lift should be compacted to at
least 95 percent maximum dry density per ASTM D-1557
Modified Proctor.
SLOPE REINFORCEMENT NOTES;
• Embed Geotextlle reinforcement minimum 6 feet Into slope.
• Vertical spacing of reinforcement maximum 3 feet.
• Overbuild slope face minimum 3 feet to achieve adequate
compaction at design face of slope. Optional: or use a
large "hoe-pac• to compact the slope face.
• Install landscaping fabric along face of slope to reduce
erosion and to allow vegetation to become established.

Project Description
E-10927
Page 2
We understand that you propose to develop a portion of the 26.26-acre, irregularly-
shaped Sunset Bluff site with a new residential subdivision. Based on preliminary design
information provided to us by Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc., we understand that
the proposed Sunset Bluff development will include up to 65 single-family residential lots,
a stormwater control pond, an asphalt-paved public street as well as a paved private road
across the abutting property to the west-southwest for secondary emergency vehicle
access to the Sunset Bluff site.
Review of preliminary design information indicates that cuts of up to 30 feet below
existing grade are planned to reach proposed construction subgrade elevations for the lots
on the north side of the proposed access street. Up to 20 feet of fill is planned to reach
construction subgrade elevations to the south of the proposed access street.
An open pond-type stormwater detention facility is planned near the toe of slope in the
southern portion of the site. Cuts of up to 15 feet deep will be required to reach the
proposed bottom of pond elevation and fills up to 12 feet will be needed to construct the
berm. The pond will be accessed by an approximately 15-foot wide gravel maintenance
road.
The proposed development will include construction of a series of reinforced slopes up to
about 40 feet in height and ecology block wall ranging up to 15 feet high. The proposed
stormwater control pond will include a 1 .5H: 1 V reinforced slope to the south of the pond.
An ecology block wall up to 14 feet in height with geogrid reinforcement is planned to
the north of the pond and pond maintenance road. A 1 H:1 V reinforced slope will be
constructed near the entrance of the proposed public access road to raise the existing
grade for construction of the access road. A 1 .5H:1 V reinforced slope is also planned in
the area generally to the south of the cul-de-sac that is proposed just to the west of the
west edge of the site.
Site Conditions
Subsurface soil and groundwater conditions at the site were assessed for the referenced
studies by excavating 15 test pits to a maximum depth of 20.5 feet below existing grade
and drilling five borings to a maximum depth of 73 feet below existing grade.

At our test pit locations, we encountered primarily silty sand with gravel (SM) and
localized interbeds of silt (ML) and silty gravel (GM) underlying moderately weathered to
highly weathered bedrock. At our boring locations, we encountered 4.5 to 28 feet of
surficial soil, glacial deposits, and bedrock derived soil over weathered bedrock. Light to
moderate perched groundwater seepage was encountered in two of our borings and four
of our test pits at 1 to 20 feet below existing grade. For a detailed description of
subsurface and groundwater conditions encountered in our test pits and borings, please
refer to the referenced studies.
Discussion and Recommendations
Based on the results of our field explorations and review of the plans, in our opinion, the
fill slopes and ecology block walls can be constructed generally as planned. Permanent,
non-reinforced fill slopes should not be constructed steeper than 2 H: 1 V. The planned
1H:1V and 1.5H:1V fill slopes will need to be reinforced with geogrid and geotextile
fabric to achieve the desired stability.
In our opinion, the 1H:1V fill slope near the entrance of the access road, the 1.5H:1V fill
slope to form the pond berm, and the ecology block wall should be reinforced with layers
of geogrids. Typical sections of the reinforced slopes and ecology block wall are
presented on Sheets 1 and 2. For the 1.5H:1V fill slope located near the cul-de-sac,
either geogrid or woven fabric may be used for slope reinforcement due to better soil
conditions and fill material anticipated. A typical section of the reinforced fill at this
location is presented on Sheet 3.
The geogrid and fabric should be rolled out parallel to the slope and should extend into
the fill as required. The geogrid and fabric must be placed without wrinkles and should
be held tight with stakes. In no case should equipment operate directly on the fabric.
The fill to construct the slope is to be generated from on-site cuts. We anticipate that
this soil will consist of silty sand with gravel.
The fill will need to be keyed and benched into the existing slope. This process should
consist of excavating a keyway at the toe of the planned fill and cutting a series of
benches up the slope as the fill is brought up. The keyway should have a width of about
eight feet or H/3 (H is the slope height in feet), whichever is greater, and should extend
at least two feet into dense, competent soils. The slope above the keyway should then
be cut into a series of horizontal to slightly inward sloping benches.

Typically, the benches are excavated with a small bulldozer as the fill is brought up. The
width of the benches will vary with the gradient of the slope, usually the gentler the
slope, the wider the benches.
The structural fill should be compacted in one-foot loose lifts to at least 95 percent of the
maximum dry density as determined by the Modified Proctor Method {ASTM D-1557).
Due to the moisture sensitive nature of the site soils, placement and compaction of the
structural fill should be performed during dry weather. An ECI representative should
observe the fill placement and should test compaction of the structural fill and verify
placement of the geogrid and geotextile reinforcement.
Based on our experience with similar projects, a key element in successfully constructing
a 1 H: 1 V and 1 .5 H: 1 V fill slopes is obtaining adequate compaction out to the face of the
slope. In order to obtain compaction out to the slope face, in our opinion a large "hoe-
pac" should be used on the outer edge of the fill and on the slope face. The completed
slope should then be track-walked with a small dozer. As the fill is brought up, the
contractor should minimize the spilling of loose soil over the face of the slope.
The completed slopes should be covered with an erosion mat, such as jute netting, and
seeded with an appropriate species of vegetation to reduce erosion and improve stability
of the slope surface.
Ecology Block Wall Recommendations
In our opinion, the proposed ecology block wall can be constructed at the toe of the fill
slope, located north of the pond and maintenance road. The ecology blocks have
typical dimensions of two feet high, two feet deep, and six feet long. The backfill
behind the wall will need to be reinforced with a geogrid. A detail illustrating our
design recommendations is provided on Sheet 2.
Before constructing the wall, the wall alignment and reinforced backfill zone should be
cleared and grubbed. This process should include removing topsoil, vegetation, duff, or
other organic or deleterious material. A representative from ECI should then observe
the prepared subgrade.
The base course of blocks should be placed on a six-inch thick, two-foot wide leveling
course of crushed rock or recycled concrete.

The design does not provide for resistance against hydrostatic loading. In order to
drain the walls and prevent hydrostatic pressures from building up, the wall backfill
should include an 18-inch wide layer of free-draining gravel that extends along the
entire height of the wall. A four-inch diameter perforated collector pipe should be
placed at the bottom of the free-draining gravel layer.
The wall backfill will need to be reinforced with a geogrid. Our design is based on the
use of geogrids manufactured by Mirafi. The geogrids should be placed in direct
accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations with specific consideration
given to the proper orientation of the geog rids. Splicing of the geogrid along the
embedment length shall not be allowed. Prior to placing fill, the geogrid reinforcement
should be pulled tight to remove any slack in the reinforcement and around the
connecting pins. This can be accomplished by pulling the grids taught and holding
them in place using stakes or sandbags. The fill materials should then be placed from
the back of the blocks towards the tails of the geogrids to allow further tensioning of
the soil reinforcement. The geogrid lengths should be placed side by side such that
100 percent coverage is achieved.
In no case should tracked equipment be allowed to pass over the exposed grids.
The wall backfill should be compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum dry density
per ASTM D-15 5 7, Modified Proctor.
The base course of blocks should be placed on a six-inch thick, two-foot wide leveling
course of crushed rock.
Construction Monitoring
The ecology block wall and slope construction should be observed and monitored by a
representative from ECI. The purpose of our monitoring will be to verify our
recommendations are followed and to observe and test the structural fill. Upon
completion of the wall and slope, we will provide a written letter summarizing our
observations.

An existing stormwater detention pond constructed for the previously planned Sunset Bluff
residential subdivision development is located along and just to the north of the site's south-
central property boundary. That pond, which was completed around 2006, is currently about 50
vertical feet lower than the portion of the site located immediately to the north of that pond.
Some pockets of very small trees and brush vegetation are located within portions of the
proposed work area. We understand that no trees within the work area have a caliper of two
inches or greater at breast height
Subsurface
ESNW reviewed the subsurface information provided in the above-referenced reports prepared
by ECI dated January 9, 2004 and April 19, 2004, That subsurface information was used in
preparation of ECl's geotechnical engineering study report E-10927, a report that was prepared
in 2005 in support of the then-proposed Sunset Bluff residential subdivision. Copies of the
boring and test pit logs prepared as part of that study that relate to the currently planned grade
and fill project site are provided in Appendix A to this report. The subsurface information
contained in geotechnical engineering study E-10927 and subsequent geotechnical design
recommendations reflect conditions at the time of exploration (i.e., November 2003 and March
2004).
The approximate limits of the proposed filling, excavation, and grading project site area are
illustrated on the Boring and Test Pit Location Plan (Plate 2). Please refer to the boring and
test pit logs provided in Appendix A of this report for a more detailed description of subsurface
conditions. While the surface elevations noted on the boring and test pits may not correspond
to the project site's current topography, the subsurface information set forth therein is still
relevant in relation to the current evaluation.
Previously Placed Fill
Structural fill placed as part of the Sunset Bluff project's filling and grading is present within the
currently proposed filling, excavation, and grading project site. For a graphic comparison of (1)
the Sunset Bluff project's design grades contemplated by the Clearing, Initial Grading, and
TESC Plans for Sunset Bluff that the City approved on October 4, 2005, (2) approximate
existing ground elevations, and (3) the currently proposed design grades within the filling,
excavation, and grading project site, see attached APPENDIX B, which is a six-sheet reduced-
size (11" by 17") set of exhibit drawings (Sheets X1 through X6) prepared by Barghausen.
Sheets X1 and X2 depict in plan view the locations of cross-sections J-J, K-K, LL, M-M, N-N, 0-
0, and P-P that Barghausen added to certain of the Clearing, Initial Grading, and TESC Plan
sheets for Sunset Bluff that the City approved on October 4, 2005. Sheets X3 and X4 depict in
plan view the same locations of those cross-sections as set forth on Sheets E5 and E6 of the
set of Grading, Interim Drainage, ES.C., and Rehabilitation Plans dated August 2014 prepared
by Barghausen for the subject Pointe Heron fill, excavation, and grade project Sheets X5 and
X6 depict cross-sectional plots of (a) the Sunset Bluff project's design grades, (b) approximate
existing ground elevations, and (c) the currently proposed design grades at each of cross-
sections J-J, K-K, LL, M-M, N-N, 0-0, and P-P.

Along (1) the existing stormwater pond's north side, (2) roughly the north half of the pond's east
side, and (3) the pond's west side, a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) ecology block wall up
to about 16 feet in height with a top elevation ranging from approximately 50 feet to 65 feet is
present. This wall is planned to be left in place and, as Cross Sections E-E and F-F on Sheet
E7 of the Barghausen Grading Plans illustrate, will lie well beneath (roughly 60 feet beneath)
the top of the planned fill.
An existing structural fill slope inclined at about 2H:1V (a) is located upgradient from
(immediately north of) the north segment of the ecology block wall and (b) extends upward to
elevations ranging from about 80 to 105 feet, where the slope reaches an existing interim,
intermediate plateau area ("Existing Interim, Intermediate Plateau Area 1"), a plateau area with
a width ranging from about 30 feet to 100 feet. [See APPENDIX C, a reduced-size (11" by 17")
two-sheet Topography Map exhibit of the project site prepared by Barghausen dated August
2014.] That intermediate plateau area extends to the north from the top of that existing
structural fill slope to an interim structural fill slope ("Existing Interim Fill Slope 1 "), a fill slope
bisected at an angle by an access road that is labeled "Access Road 1 to Temporary Sediment
Pond Lying East of Sunset Bluff Stormwater Detention Pond" on Topography Map sheets 1 and
2. That access road extends farther up to the north to a more gently-sloping existing upper
plateau area ("Existing Upper Plateau Area 1," which is labeled on Topography Map sheets 1
and 2). That plateau area ranges in elevation from (i) about 115 to 124 feet on the plateau's
south edge to (ii) roughly 128 to 130 feet along the north edge of the project's work area limits.
Existing Interim, Intermediate Plateau Area 1, Existing Interim Fill Slope 1, and Existing Upper
Plateau Area 1 were all filled and graded as part of Sunset Bluff project site filling and grading.
An approximately 2H:1V engineered fill slope is also present along the east side of the existing
Sunset Bluff stormwater pond. South of the east leg of the MSE ecology block wall, the height
of that fill slope is about 24 feet. At the top of that fill slope is an existing, interim intermediate
plateau area ("Existing Interim, Intermediate Plateau Area 2") that has a width of about 70 feet
and that extends generally to the east to an existing interim fill slope ("Existing Interim Fill Slope
2"), a fill slope that extends both to the east-southeast and to the north. A temporary sediment
pond lies within the southerly portion of Existing Interim, Intermediate Plateau Area 2. (See
Topography Map sheet 2.) The north end of Existing Interim, lntenmediate Plateau Area 2 (a)
wraps to the northwest around the northeast corner of the intersection of the stormwater pond's
north and east slopes that extend above the north and east legs of the MSE ecology block wall
and (b) connects to Existing Interim, Intermediate Plateau Area 1. Existing Interim Fill Slope 2's
east-southeast leg extends up to a relatively gently-sloping upper plateau area ("Existing Upper
Plateau Area 2"), a plateau area that ranges in elevation from (i) about 11 O to 116 feet on the
plateau's south and southwest edges to (ii) roughly 126 to 137 feet along the north edge of the
project site. The northwesterly end of Existing Upper Plateau Area 2 connects to the
northeasterly end of Existing Upper Plateau Area 1. (Again, see Topography Map sheet 2.)
Existing Interim, Intermediate Plateau Area 2, Existing Interim Fill Slope 2, and Existing Upper
Plateau Area 2 were all filled and graded as part of the Sunset Bluff project site filling and
grading.

In addition, an existing engineered fill slope is also present on the west side of the existing
stormwater pond, to the west of the west leg of the existing MSE ecology block wall. That fill
slope, which has an inclination of approximately 2H:1V, extends from the top of the existing
MSE ecology block wall up to top-of-slope elevations ranging from about 104 feet to 112 feet
The top of that slope connects with the westerly ex1ension of Existing Interim, Intermediate
Plateau Area 1, which is coincident with an access road that is labeled "Access Road 2 to
Temporary Sediment Pond Lying East of Sunset Bluff Stormwater Detention Pond" on
Topography Map sheet 1.
Further, existing engineered fill slopes with an inclination of approximately 1.5H: 1V are located
along the south edge of the Pointe Heron LLC parcel, both (a) to the west of the existing
stormwater pond (south of the existing stormwater detention pond maintenance road) and (b) to
the east of the east end of the pond. (Again, see Topography Map sheets 1 and 2.)
Native Soil
Native soil within the project site (work area limits) generally ranges from outwash sand and
gravel to glacial drift including silt, sand, and gravel. However, because there have been
significant modifications to the original site grades, very little, if any, native soil is expected to be
exposed during grading activities associated with the proposal.
Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater seepage zones are present in or near and under the project site, and subsurface
drain systems have already been installed to control the flow of these sources. In view of the
varied nature of the existing fill on the site and previous engineered modifications to portions of
the site topography, minor perched groundwater may be encountered during the wetter winter
months, but no groundwater table will not be exposed or interrupted.
Because the proposal involves raising site grades using engineered structural fill, any seepage
would likely be very limited in flow volume and would also likely attenuate relatively quickly.
Existing Wells in the Vicinity
Based on a review of readily available information maintained on the Washington Department
of Ecology's online well database, no wells are present on the project site or within 1,000 feet of
the project site.

Project Narrative Pointe Heron LLC
Current use of the site and any existing improvements:
The overall parcel encompassing the project site is currently vacant.
The project site portion and some of the rest of the overall Pointe Heron LLC parcel were
graded as part of site development work for the previously planned Sunset Bluff Residential
existing topography across the site is variable, largely the result of commercial aggregate
mining and import grading operations. A storm water detention/water quality pond
constructed as part of the Sunset Bluff project is located along a central portion of the south
edge of the parcel within the currently proposed project site.
Special site features {i.e., wetlands, water bodies. steep slopes):
Wetlands and an Unnamed Intermittent Stream
No wetlands or streams exist within the project site. However, a portion of each of two
wetlands and an intermittent stream-water bodies referred to in the subject Special Grade
and Fill Permit application materials as "Wetland A," "Wetland," and an "unnamed (Class 4)
stream"-lie within the parcel on which the project site is located. See the accompanying
(color) Wetlands and Stream Map for a depiction of their locations and respective buffers and a
brief summary statement concerning each of them. Raedeke Associates, lnc.'s August 13, 2014
QIP/Virtu/Sunset Bluff (MLDC) Properties Wetland & Stream Delineation Update 2014 1 technical
memorandum in support of the provides both (1) an assessment of the wetlands and a study of
the unnamed stream in relation to the proposed filling, excavation, and grading project and (2)
copies of prior studies of both of the two wetlands and the stream.
1 Because, during 2009, (a) Raedeke had previously jointly studied (i) what is now the Pointe Heron
LLC parcel while it was owned by Merlino Land Development Co. (aka "MLDC"), (b) the easterly three lots of
the Black River Quarry Property to the west of the subject Pointe Heron LLC parcel while those three lots
were then owned by Quarry Industrial Park L.L.C. (aka "QIP"), and (c) an approximately 0.9-acre vacant
southeasterly triangular portion of the abutting Sunset View Apartments property while that property was
then still owned by AG/Virtu Sunset View, L.L.C. (aka "Virtu"), Raedeke's prior (2009) wetlands report referred
to what is now the Pointe Heron LLC parcel as the "MLDC property," what is now the east part of the quarry
property as the "QIP property," and the 0.9-acre vacant southeasterly triangular portion of the abutting
Sunset View Apartments property as the "Virtu property" for continuity with Raedeke's 2009 report.

Wetland A is an approximately 408-square-foot Category 3 wetland with a 25-foot-wide buffer.
Approximately 258 square feet of Wetland A lie within the subject parcel and the balance of the
wetland (approximately 150 square feet) lie within the abutting BNSF Railroad right-of-way.
Wetland Bis as an approximately 2-acre existing wetland that:
(a) Is located in a depression that has neither a piped outlet nor a surface
water outlet;
(b) Straddles the south boundary of the eastern portion of the Pointe Heron
LLC parcel with (i) only about 6,078 square feet of Wetland B lying within
the parcel and (ii) the balance (most of it) located offsite on the parcel of
land to the southeast of the Pointe Heron LLC parcel and east of the BNSF
Railroad right-of-way; and
(c) Is either (i) a Category 3 wetland {with a 25-foot-wide buffer) under
Renton's critical area regulations if the wetland is not hydraulically
connected to the existing wetlands in the Black River Riparian Forest to
the southwest of Wetland B across the BNSF Railroad right-of-way or (ii) a
Category II wetland (with a 150-foot-wide buffer) under Renton's
shoreline master program critical area regulations if the wetland is
hydraulically connected to the existing wetlands in the Black River
Riparian Forest to the southwest of Wetland B across the BNSF Railroad
right-of-way and under Renton's shoreline jurisdiction.
Because all of the proposed work associated with the subject project lies at least 193 feet from
Wetland B (well outside even a 150-foot-wide buffer), there is no need to definitively ascertain
whether or not Wetland Bis hydraulically connected to the existing wetlands in the Black River
Riparian Forest.
The unnamed stream flows from north to south across the eastern part of the site into Wetland
B. The stream channel is incised to a depth of 3 to 5 feet. The channel drops 64 feet in
elevation from a culvert up the slope within the Pointe Herron LLC parcel south of SW Sunset
Boulevard down to the north edge of Wetland B, resulting in an average slope of greater than
20% for 315 lineal feet of stream channel. On page 13 of Raedeke's Wetland & Stream
Delineation Update 2014 technical memorandum, Raedeke explains that
(1) This stream is a non-salmonid-bearing stream that is (a) intermittent
during normal years of rainfall, (b) not mapped on RMC 4-3-0SOQ, Figure

by the City of Renton or the State of Washington as a "Shoreline of the
State";
(2) This stream is a Class 4 water under RMC 4-3-0SOLla(iv); and
(3) Under RMC 4-3-050L5a(i)(c) a 35-foot-wide code-specified buffer exists
on both sides of the stream [except where a segment of the stream
passes through a protected slope area as depicted on Sheets El, E3, and
E6 of the Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc. Grading, Interim
Drainage, E.S. C, and Rehabilitation Plans for the subject project (because
of RMC 4-3-050L5b(ii), the code-specified stream buffer along that
segment of the stream extends to the protected slope's boundary)].
Steep Slopes
Renton Municipal Code Section 4-3-050Jla(ii) classifies steep slopes as either sensitive or
protected. More particularly, RMC 4-11-190 defines steep slopes (and the protected slope and
sensitive slope subclassifications) as follows:
SLOPE, STEEP: A hillside, or portion thereof, which falls into one of two (2)
classes of slope, sensitive or protected.
A. Slope, Protected: A hillside, or portion thereof, with an average slope, as
identified in the City of Renton Steep Slape Atlas or in a method approved by the
City, of forty percent (40%) or greater grade and having a minimum vertical rise
of fifteen feet (15').
B. Slope, Sensitive: A hillside, or portion thereof, characterized by: (1) an
average slope, as identified in the City of Renton Steep Slope Atlas or in a
method approved by the City, of twenty five percent (25%) to less than forty
percent (40%); or (2) an average slope, as identified in the City of Renton Steep
Slope Atlas or in a method approved by the City, of forty percent (40%) or
greater with a vertical rise of less than fifteen feet (15'), abutting an average
slope, as identified in the City of Renton Steep Slope Atlas or in a method
approved by the City, of twenty five percent (25%) to forty percent (40%). This
definition excludes engineered retaining walls.

(Italics added.) In regard to the location of steep slopes on a site, subsection i (Steep Slope
Delineation Procedure) of RMC 4-3-050Jla (Steep Slopes) states:
i. Steep Slope Delineation Procedure: The boundaries af a regulated steep
sensitive or protected slape are determined ta be in the location identified on the
City of Renton's Steep Slope Atlas. An applicant's qualified professional may
substitute boundaries independently derived from survey data for the City's
consideration in determining the boundaries of sensitive or protected steep
slopes. All topographic maps shall utilize two foot (2') contour intervals or the
standard utilized in the City of Renton Steep Slope Atlas.
(Underlining and italics added.)
The City of Renton has delineated areas of steep slopes {both sensitive and protected slopes)
on the City's Steep Slope Hazard Atlas. Those delineated steep slope areas (along with areas of
slopes that are greater than 15 percent and less than or equal to 25 percent) are depicted on
the City's regulated slopes overlay that is part of the City's GIS system that is publicly accessible
through the City of Renton website.
Accompanying this application is an 11" by 17" color map exhibit generated from the City's GIS
system for the Pointe Heron LLC parcel with the regulated slopes overlay turned on (the
"Regulated Slopes Map"). On that map both (1) the Pointe Heron LLC parcel boundaries have
been outlined with a thick black line and (2) the limits of the project site for the proposed fill,
excavation, and grading project have been outlined with a thick dashed line. That map makes
clear that no protected slopes lie within the project site, although the map depicts four areas of
protected slopes within the portion of the subject parcel to the east of the project site. Sheet
El (the Cover Sheet) of the Grading, Interim Drainage, E.S.C, and Rehabilitation Plans for the
subject project depicts those four areas of protected slopes and their approximate respective
square footages: namely, from west to east, Protected Slope Area 1 (which encompasses
approximately 5,299 square feet), Protected Slope Area 2 (which encompasses approximately
68,936 square feet), Protected Slope Area 3 (which encompasses approximately 2,241 square
feet). and Protected Slope Area 4 (which encompasses approximately 1,532 square feet). Sheet
El depicts the minimum distance (110 feet) between the westerlymost protected slope area
(Protected Slope Area 1) and the nearest (eastern) edge of the project site.
The Regulated Slopes Map indicates 15% to 25% slopes across nearly all of the proposed project
site area and also indicates some small areas of sensitive steep slopes in the proposed project
site, primarily in the western half of the project site. The map depicts in white the remaining,
scattered small portions of the project site, with the white portions intended to indicate areas
of 15 percent or lesser slopes.

Black River Riparian Forest to the South of the Project Site
Although not part of the project site or the parcel that the project site lies within, the Black
River Riparian Forest (BRRF), which lies to the south of the 100-foot wide BNSR Railroad right-
of-way that abuts a portion of the project site's south edge, is a known critical habitat area. In
the 2014 Great Blue Heron & Wildlife Habitat Update prepared by Raedeke Associates, Inc. in
relation to the QIP/Sunset Bluff (MLDC) Properties (including the subject Pointe Heron LLC
parcel 2
) in relation to the proposed Point Heron Filling Excavation, and Grading Project and
dated August 13, 2014, Raedeke provides the following summary of impacts on Wildlife and
Wildlife Habitat at the bottom of page 10:
Summary of Impacts on Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat
As noted above, the proposed fill, excavation, and grading project would be
located entirely within a portion of the Pointe Heron LLC parcel (MLDC Property)
that is highly disturbed and consists largely of bare ground, and is outside the
forested habitat of the BRRF. Consequently, we anticipate no adverse impacts to
the forested habitat of the BRRF. In addition, the project would have no adverse
impacts on the former heron colony within the BRRF or either of the known
eagle nest sites in the vicinity (one of which was in the BRRF), as these sites have
not been occupied for several years and no longer appear to be active. Even if
the heron colony and nearest eagle nest sites were active, the proposed grade
and fill project site lies well outside of standard setbacks recommended by
WDFW to protect heron colonies and the USFWS to protect eagle nest sites. The
proposed grading would eliminate a small area of shrubs and sapling trees and
would remove an existing stormwater pond, which would result in only minimal
impacts to existing wildlife habitat on site. In summary, the proposed fill,
excavation, and grading project would not result in probable significant adverse
impacts to wildlife or wildlife habitat.
2 Because (a) Raedeke had previously studied what is now the Pointe Heron LLC parcel while it was
owned by Merlino Land Development Co. and (b) Raedeke's prior (2009) reports referred to what is now the
Pointe Heron LLC parcel as the "MLDC Property," for continuity with Raedeke's 2009 reports, in the 2014
Great Blue Heron & Wildlife Habitat Update Raedeke sometimes refers to the Pointe Heron LLC parcel as the
MLDC Property.

Statement addressing soil type and drainage conditions:
Soil Types
Native soil within the project site generally ranged from outwash sand and gravel to glacial drift
including silt, sand and gravel. However, because there have been significant modifications to
the original site grades as part of site filling and grading for the previously planned Sunset Bluff
residential subdivision development project, very little, if any, native soil is expected to be
exposed during grading activities associated with the proposal. Structural fill placed as part of
the Sunset Bluff project's filling and grading is present within the currently proposed filling,
excavation, and grading project site. For a graphical comparison of (1) the Sunset Bluff project's
design grades contemplated by the Clearing, Initial Grading, and TESC Plans for Sunset Bluff that
the City approved on October 4, 2005, (2) approximate existing ground elevations, and (3) the
currently proposed design grades within the filling, excavation, and grading project site, see the
accompanying 8/13/2014 six-sheet reduced-size (11" by 17") set of Cross-Section Exhibit
drawings (Sheets Xl through X6) prepared by Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc.
Surface drainage conditions
Surface water runoff from the project site current drains into the existing storm water detention
and water quality pond constructed in conjunction with site grading work performed for the
previously planned Sunset Bluff residential development project. The existing pond's flow
control manhole drains into a storm drain pipe that connects into an existing storm manhole at
the Pointe Heron LLC parcel's south boundary (the common boundary between the Pointe
Heron parcel and the railroad right-of-way). At the outlet side of that existing manhole, an
existing 18-inch-diameter storm drain pipe conveys the pond's discharge water to the south
under the railroad grade into the Black River Riparian Forest property owned by the City of
Renton.
Groundwater conditions
Page 7 of Earth Solutions NW's August 13, 2014 Geotechnical and Sail Engineering Report in
Support of Proposed Fill, Excavation, and Grade Pointe Heron LLC Parcel (the "Geotechnical
Report") explains:
Groundwater seepage zones are present in or near and under the project site,
and subsurface drain systems have already been installed to control the flow of
these sources. In view of the varied nature of the existing fill on the site and
8
August 18, 2014
Project Narrative Pointe Heron LLC
previous engineered modifications to portions of the site topography, minor
perched groundwater may be encountered during the wetter winter months, but
no groundwater table will ... be exposed or interrupted.
Proposed use of the property and scope of the proposed development:
The proposed filling, excavation, and grading project is primarily intended to create within a
portion of the 14.14-acre project site at elevations ranging between about 125 and 128 feet a
relatively flat area for future development. That relatively flat area is proposed to extend south
from roughly the toe of the existing slope that extends downward from the south edge of SW
Sunset Boulevard. The 125-to-128-foot grade range is a roughly mid-level grade range between
(1) the average of the existing elevations (an average of about 193 feet) of the segment of SW
Sunset Boulevard lying to the north of the project site, elevations that range from (a) about 164
feet to the north of the project site's east end to (b) about 222 feet to the north of the project
site's west end, and (2) the average (an average of about 45 feet) of the existing elevations of
the south boundary of the Pointe Heron LLC parcel along or to the south of the project site
(elevations that generally range from about 40 to 50 feet). As more fully explained below, in
order to vertically intersect with the south edge of the proposed relatively flat area, a proposed
l.5H:1V engineered fill slope with a buttress fill face will extend up from either (i) the parcel's
south boundary (along the central part of that boundary) or (ii) the top edge of the existing
l.5H:1V engineered fill slopes along the parcel's south boundary that lie to both the west and
east of the central part of the boundary. As part of the proposed work, the existing stormwater
detention and water quality pond, which is located at the lower (south) edge of the project site,
is proposed to be filled and replaced with a new stormwater detention and water quality pond
to be constructed along much of the proposed plateau area's northern edge. That proposed
new pond will afford easier access for pond maintenance than does the existing stormwater
and water quality pond at the base of existing slopes. The proposed changes to the project
site's existing grades will eliminate the undulating terrain that resulted from the previous
grading of the project site performed as part of the Sunset Bluff project, grading that was not
completed due to the collapse of the residential development market that started around 2008.
The project will involve approximately 495,500 cubic yards of fill and approximately 18,200
cubic yards of cut, for a net fill volume of approximately 477,300 cubic yards of structural fill
materials to be imported. The imported fill materials will be hauled into the project site either
(1) from stockpiles of structural fill materials stored on the Stoneway Black River Quarry
property, property that abuts the southerly part of the west boundary of the subject Pointe
Heron LLC parcel, or (2) through the Stoneway Black River Quarry property from the quarry
property's entrance roadway at Monster Road SW. The overall grading actives will involve
9
August 18, 2014
Project Narrative Pointe Heron LLC
compaction of structural fill and, along the project site's south and west edges, construction of
engineered fill slopes.
The work is proposed to be done in two phases. The Phase 1 portion of the proposal is to
involve both (1) filling of the existing stormwater detention and water quality pond located
near the site's south boundary and (2) filling of the adjacent areas of the project site in order
raise site grades to an interim elevation of approximately 110 feet. Phase 1 is also to involve
construction of a new interim detention and water quality pond with a bottom elevation of 100
feet and an overflow elevation of 109 feet. The Phase 1 work will involve roughly 267,000 cubic
yards of fill. The lower portion of an engineered l.SH to lV fill slope (up to an elevation of
approximately 111 feet) will be constructed along the south side of the site over the existing
pond and will close the gap between the existing engineered fill slopes along the south edge of
the Pointe Heron LLC parcel to the east and west. The interim detention pond will provide the
required detention for level 2 flow control for the proposed site conditions and will also serve
as a temporary sediment pond. As noted on Sheet E3 of the 10-sheet set of Grading, Interim
Drainage, E.S.C., and Rehabilitation Plans (the "Grading Plans"), the southerly top edge of this
pond will be setback to the north from the interim Phase 1 top of the proposed engineered fill
slope by a minimum of 80 feet unless the project's geotechnical engineer approves otherwise.
This interim pond is to be in place and operational by October 1 following the first season of the
filling and grading operation. After both (a) the permanent stormwater pond (described in the
next paragraph as part of the Phase 2 construction) has been constructed and is operational
and (b) most of the relatively flat area described in the first paragraph, above, has been filled to
its final Phase 2 design height so that runoff from that area of the plateau will drain into the
permanent stormwater pond, the interim pond is to be filled with compacted structural fill.
The Phase 1 work will involve approximately 267,000 cubic yards of fill but no excavation
(unless work on the permanent pond starts early, in which case the approximately 18,200 cubic
yards of excavation for the permanent pond could be done as part of the Phase 1 portion of the
project).
During the Phase 2 portion of the project, (1) a proposed stormwater pond (designed to be
permanent) will be excavated from a segment of the northern portion of the existing plateau
portion of the project site (if this pond by then has not already been excavated during Phase 1),
(2) the area of the Phase 1 interim detention pond will be filled to final grade, (3) the upper
portion of the engineered fill slopes will be completed, and (4) the remainder of the project site
will be filled to final grade, which will result in the proposed, relatively flat area of the project
site having elevations ranging from 125 to 128 feet as depicted on the Grading Plans. The
Phase 2 work will involve approximately 18,200 cubic yards of excavation (excavation for the
permanent pond) and approximately 228,500 cubic yards of fill for a net fill of roughly 210,000
10
August 18, 2014
Project Narrative Pointe Heron LLC
cubic yards. The Phase 2 work is expected to be completed during the overall project's second
or third construction season.
As is also shown on the grading plans, a new 2.6H:1V engineered fill slope is proposed along a
portion of the project site's west edge.
To avoid increasing the potential for instability or impacts to adjacent or abutting properties
beyond pre-development conditions, the design of the proposed fill as set forth in the
Geotechnical Report specifies (among other things) the use of
(1) compacted structural fill materials throughout the proposed fill;
(2) a crushed aggregate buttress fill zone ranging in horizontal dimension
from 35 feet (at the fill slope toe) to 5 feet (at the fill slope top) along the
face of the proposed l.SH:lV fill slopes (with the crushed aggregate
buttress fill zone to be comprised of material meeting the buttress fill
material specification set forth on pages 7 and 8 of the Geotechnical
Report, material intended to both enhance slope strength and stability
and prevent accumulation of surface water runoff from the fill slope's
face); and
(3) geogrid reinforcement of the proposed l.SH:lV fill slopes to further
increase slope strength and stability.
As specified on the Grading Plans, once the proposed filling and grading is completed, (1) the
surface slope of the flat area will direct all of its stormwater runoff to the new stormwater
detention/water quality pond at the project site's north edge and (2) the finished grade areas
that lie outside of the stormwater detention and water quality pond and outside of the
engineered fill slopes shall be surfaced with a six-inch minimum compacted depth of crushed
aggregate for interim site rehabilitation and to prevent erosion. The six-inch minimum
compacted depth of crushed aggregate is the same type and depth of surfacing that was placed
on the previously-graded portion of the project site, a surfacing that fully stabilized the
previously-graded portion from erosion. As once again proposed, it will provide full
stabilization against erosion and will thereby eliminate the need for interim landscaping or
hydroseeding of the project site.
As discussed on page 34 of the Geotechnical Report, the proposed crushed aggregate buttress
fill along the slope face will not only be excellent for providing slope stability and preventing
11
August 18, 2014
Project Narrative Pointe Heron LLC
slope erosion, it will also provide a porous, nonerosive aggregate facing of the proposed slope
face, a facing that will be excellent for vertically transmitting and dispersing through the
crushed aggregate buttress zone both (1) rainwater that strikes the slope's face and {2} any
hillside perched groundwater that may seep into the buttress fill zone from the fill core. This
will eliminate any need for terracing the fill slope. Because of the porous, nonerosive
characteristics of the proposed fill slope face, vegetation of the slope face will not be needed to
prevent erosion and, because the facing will not be conducive to landscaping, other plantings,
or hydroseeding, vegetation of the slope face will not be appropriate and is not being proposed.
The subject proposed fill, excavation, and grade project is the initial phase of a multiphase
overall site development project. In this initial phase, the portion of the Pointe Heron LLC
parcel within the project site will be reconfigured to the grade proposed as part of the subject
grade and fill permit application. As part of one or more later expected site development
phases, further grading modifications are expected, the extent of which will depend on the
particular details of the ultimate future development proposed. That being the case, ultimate
landscape design and installation cannot be determined and installed until a final site use is
determined and a particular development for such site use is designed on behalf of the
property owner and approved by the City.
The linear configuration of the proposed new stormwater detention and water quality pond is
similar to the linear configuration of the existing stormwater detention and water quality pond.
Unlike the existing pond, which was designed to meet the requirements of the 1998 King
County Surface Water Manual, the proposed new pond is designed to meet the requirements
set forth in the 2009 King County Surface Water Manual and 2009 City of Renton amendments
to that manual.
Access:
Construction access to the project site is proposed through the Stoneway Black River Quarry
property from the quarry property's entrance roadway at Monster Road SW.
Proposed off-site improvements (i.e. installation of sidewalks. fire hydrants. sewer main. etc.}:
No offsite improvements are proposed as part of the subject filling, excavation, and grading
project.
Total estimated construction cost and estimated fair market value of the proposal:
12
August 18, 2014
Project Narrative Pointe Heron LLC
The total estimated construction cost and estimated fair market value of the proposed filling,
excavation, and grading project is $1.0 Million.
Estimated quantities and type of materials involved if any fill or excavation is proposed:
As noted above, the project will involve approximately 495,500 cubic yards of structural fill
material and approximately 18,200 cubic yards of cut for a net anticipated fill of approximately
477,300 cubic yards.
The specifications for the two categories of structural fill that are proposed for the project as
set forth on pages 7 to 9 of the Geotechnical Report are as follows:
Two categories of structural fill are proposed for the subject fill and grade
project: (1) a crushed aggregate fill to be used to construct a buttress fill zone
along the face of the proposed fill slopes and (2) a fill to be used to construct the
proposed fill core behind the crushed aggregate buttress fill zone. (See Plate 3
for a schematic depiction of the buttress fill zone and the core structural fill zone
behind it.) Both of these categories of structural fill must conform to RMC 4-4-
060N4 (FILL MATERIAL), which states in relevant part:
August 18, 2014
Fill materials shall have no more than minor amounts of organic
substances and shall have no rock or similar irreducible material
with a maximum dimension greater than eight inches (8"). Fill
material shall meet the following requirements:
a. Construction, Demolition, and Land Clearing Waste
Prohibited: Fill material shall be free of construction,
demolition, and land clearing waste except that this
requirement does not preclude the use of recycled concrete
rubble per Washington State Department of Transportation
Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal
Construction.
b. Cleanliness of Fill Material: Fill material shall not contain
concentrations of contaminants that exceed cleanup
standards for soil specified in WAC 173-340-740, Model Toxics
Control Act.
13
Project Narrative Pointe Heron LLC
In addition to conforming to RMC 4-4-060N4 (FILL MATERIAL), each of the two
categories of fill material must conform to the respective applicable technical
specifications set forth below.
Buttress Fill Material Specification
Material to be used to construct the buttress fill zone along the face of the
proposed fill slopes shall be crushed aggregate conforming to RMC 4-4-060N4
(FILL MATERIAL) and conforming to the following strength parameters:
Internal angle of friction 46° minimum
Moist unit weight 145 pcf minimum
Maximum aggregate size 8inches
Maximum fines content (passing U.S. Sieve No. 200) shall not
exceed 5 percent.
This specified material, which is equivalent to coarse gravel and/or cobble, must
be well-graded and angular (crushed). Samples of this proposed fill material
must be provided to ESNW for laboratory analysis and approval prior to
placement.
Core Structural Fill Material Specification
Material to be used to construct the proposed fill core to be placed behind the
crushed aggregate buttress zone fill shall conform to the following strength
parameters:
Internal angle of friction 36° minimum
Moist unit weight 125 pcf minimum
Maximum aggregate size 8inches
Maximum fines content (passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve) shall not
exceed 20 percent.
14
August 18, 2014
Project Narrative Pointe Heron LLC
Samples of this proposed fill material must be provided to ESNW for laboratory
analysis and approval prior to placement.
In regard to the relatively small quantity of material to be excavated, page 39 of the
Geotechnical Report states as follows:
[E]xcept for the relatively small volume of material to be excavated for
construction of the proposed Permanent Stormwater Pond, none of the site is
proposed to be excavated. Successful use of the limited volume of those
excavated on-site soils will largely be dictated by the moisture content of the
soils at the time of placement and compaction. Use of onsite soils from site
excavations for structural fill material may require moisture conditioning prior to
placement and compaction if the material has greater than optimum moisture
content. Moisture conditioning would likely include passive measures such as
aeration for overly moist soils and addition of water for overly dry soils prior to
placement. These moisture conditioning methods would not affect water quality
on the project site or the quality of water that may be discharged from the
project site.
Trees to be removed:
As a result of the prior grading, only sapling trees remain on the project site, and those trees
are in only a small area of the project site. Those trees all have a caliper of less than two inches
at breast height. Those sapling trees are proposed to be removed as part of the project.
Explanation of any land to be dedicated to the City:
No land is proposed to be dedicated to the City as part of the proposed project.
Any proposed job shacks, sales trailers. and/or model homes:
No job shacks, sales trailers, and/or model homes are planned as part of the proposed project.
Any proposed modifications being requested {include written justification):
No modifications are being requested as part of the project.

"GEOTECHNICAL AND SOIL ENGINEERING REPORT IN SUPPORT OF
PROPOSED FILL, EXCAVATION, AND GRADE-POINTE HERON LLC
PARCEL-RENTON, WASHINGTON tES-2334.01)" dated August 2014
prepared by Earth Sc:ilutlons NW, LLC for Pointe Heron LLC.
On this sheet E10, that report Is referred to as lhe "Geotechnlcal Report."
The contractor should refer to the G&olechnlcal Report fOt eddlUonal
Information relating to the subject parcel and the subject fltl, excaYalion,
and grade project. Earth Solutions NW, LLC can be contactMI at:

SpeclflcatJons tor Preparation of Ground for Fill
The ground surface that is to receive fill shall be prepared to receive fi~ by
remo.1ng any ~egetation. any noncomplying fill, any topsoil, and any o!her
unsuitable ma1erials (as determined by ESNW) from the areas In which the fill
is to be plaood. Areas of loose natNe soi\ or loose fill soil must be
recompacled or replaood with new, compacted fill. In areas lo be filled where
the etlsting groul'ld to be filled consists of slopes that are SH:1V or steeper,
such areas prior to filling shall be benched Into sound bedrock (or. as
determined by ESNW. benched into other competent material). so that 1he fill
is placed on a level surface with width(s) determined by ESNW during the
course of the fill work. FIii shall not be placed on a sloping surface. The
benching shatl create as homogenous a fiU interiace as is reasonably
practicable. The ground surface shan be scarified prior to fill placement
ESNW should observe the subgrade prior 1o fiN placement. A schematic slope
fill detail is included on Plate 3 attached to this report.
FIii Material Specifications for the Proposed FOi
Two categories of structural fill are proposed for !he subject fill and grade
project: (1) a crushed aggregate fill to be used to construct a buttress fill zone
along the lace of the proposed fill slopes and (2) a fill to be used to cons!ruct
the proposed fill core be11lnd tt1e crushed aggrega1e buttress fill zone. (See
Plate 3 for a schematic depiction of the buttress fill zone and the core
structural fill zone behind it.) Balh of these categorres of structural fill must
conform to RMC 4-4-Cl60N4 (FILL MATERIAL), which states in relevant part:
Fill materials shall have no more than mmor amounts of organic substances
and shall have no rock or simUar irreducible material with a maximum
dimension greater than etght inches (6"). FIii material shall meet the folbwing
requirements:
a. Construction, Demolltlon, and Land Clearing Wasta
Prohibited: Fill material shall be free of construction,
demolilion, and land clearing waste except that this
requirement does not preclude the use of recycled concrete
rubble per Washington State Department o1 Transportation
Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal
Construction.
b. Cleanliness of FIii Materlal: Fill material shall not contain
concentrations of ccmtaminants that exceed cleanup standards
for soil specified in WAC 173-340-740. Model Toxics Control
Act
In addiLion lo conforming to RMC 44-060N4 (FILL MATERIAL), each of the
two categories of fill materia! must conform to !he resoective applicable
technical specificalions set forth below.
Buttress Flll llateria/ Specirlcation
Material to be used to construct lhe buttress fill zone aloog the face of the
proposed Iii slopes shal be crushed aggregate conforming to RMC 4-4--0fiON4
!FILL MATERIAL) and conforming !o the following strength parameters:
Internal angle of friction
Moist unit weight
Maximum aggregate size
46' minimum
145 pcf minim~m
8 inches
Maximum fines content (passing U.S. Sie~e No. 200) shal! not
eKceed 5 percent.
This specified material, which is equivalent to coarse gravel and/or cobble,
must be well-graded and angular (crushed). Samples of this proposed fill
material must be provided lo ESr.lW for !abora1ory af'\alysis and approval prior
to placement.
Cttre Structural Fifi Material Specifn:ation
Material to be used to construct the proposed fill core to be fllaced behind the
crushed aggregate buttress zone fill shal! conform lo the following strength
parameters·
ln!ernal angle of friction
Moist unH weight
Ma~mum aggregate size
36' minimum
125 pcf minimum
8inches
Maximum fines content (passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve) shall not
exceed 20 percent.
GEOTECHNICAL NOTES AND DETAILS Cl)
...J
Samples of this proposed fill material must be provided to ESNW for laboratory
analysis and approval pnor to placement.
Placement and Compaction Specifications for the Proposed FIii
Buttross Fill Placement and Compaction Specification
The buttress fill ma1erial must be placed in maxim1.1m 12-inch loose lifts and
compacted to a firm anrj unyielding cood!tion. Adequacy o' compaction must
be confirmed by an ESNW representatille at the time oi material placement.
At a minimum, three passes in two orthogonal directions using a vibratory
drun" roQer should be made to compact each lift of buttress fill material.
Because of the aggrega!e nalure of the buttress fill, the specified buttress fill
material Is outside the range of typical grain size ror testing under ASTM
0-1557 or equivalent American Public Works Association (APWA)
specifica~ons and field density standards.
Core Structural Fill Placement and Compaction Specification
The core structural fill material must be plaood in maximum 12-inch loose lifts
and compacted to a retati\le compaction ol 95 percent, based on the maximum
dry density as determined by the Modified Proctor Method (ASTM D-1557),
which is a compaction standard compatible with the American Public Works
Association (APWA) specifications and field density standards. Adequacy of
compaction must be confirmed by an ESNW representative at the time of
material placement. Al a minimum. three passes in two orthogonal directions
using a vibratory drum roller should be made to compact each 11ft of core
structural fltl material.
Recommended Construction Seguence for FUI Placement
We recommend 1he foUowing construction sequence for fill placemen I
(1 )Prior to placement ol 1111 on any particular area to be filled. the
ground of such area must be prepared for fill consistent wilh the
section under the subheading "SpeclficaUons for Preparation of
Ground far Fill" as set fortti on page 7 [of the Geotechnical
Report and on lhis Sheet E1 OJ.
(2)Place six-inch or larger quarry spalls or recyded concrete
aggregate In the existing stormwater detention pond area lo a
depth of about five ieet prior to filing that area.
{J)Generally simultaneous wilh the placement and compaction of
the adjacent Portion of the core structural fill per paragraph 4,
below, construct a buttress ffll In the buttress HII zor.e (a) using
fill matenal mee1ing the buttress fill material specification set
forth on pages 7 and 8 [of the Geotechnical Report and on this
Sheet E10J. (b} complying wtth \he buttress fitl placement and
compaciion specification se; forth on page g [of the
Geotechnic:al Reporl and on this Sheet E10], {c) in oonfonnance
with the design se! forth on Plate 3 [set forth in the Geotechnical
Reporl and on this Shee'. E10], and (d) placing the material in
maximum 12-incl1-thick lilts compacted to a firm and unyielding
condllion. The base or the new slope should include a ke~ay
that ls at least frve feel in depth. The existing material from lhe
southern berm ot the e:o:1sting stormwater pond should be
remo>"ed and placed within the core struclural flll zone behind
the buttress zone. (See Plate 3 for a schema1ic depiction oi the
buttress HI zone, the keyway, !he core structural fill zone, and
geogrid matenal and placement specifications.)
(4)Place and compact the core structural fill (in lhe core s1ructural
fill zone coosis1ent with Plate 3) (a) using fill ma!erial that (i}
meets the core structural fill material specification set for\tl on
pages 7 to 9 (of the Geotechnical Reporl and on this Sheet E10]
and is (ii) near lo slightly over optimum moisture content at the
time of placement and [b) placing and compacting thal fdl
material so as to conform lo the core structural fill placement
and compaction specificalion set forth on page 9 [o1 the
Geotechnical Report and on this Sheet E10]
Pond Un Ing Specfftcations for the Permanent Stormwater Pond
The proposed Permanent Stormwater Pond is to be constructed along the
soulh edge of a portion of the toe o1 the existing slope in the north portion o1
the Pointe Heron LLC parcel soulh of SW Sunset Boulevard. The pond should
include, at a minimum, a compacted till or day liner conforming to lhe 2009
King County Surface Water Design Manual {KCSWDM) Section 6.2.4
specifications. wHh the folbwing amendments:
Compacted till finer gradation should include a ~nes content of a!
least 40 percent. and the material shouk:l be placed in ma:dmum
6-mch loose tilts for a toml minimum depth of 18 inches.
If these conditions i::anoot be met, a synthetic membrane pond liner should be

PLATE 3 FROM ClEOTECHNICAL AND SOIL ENQINEERINO REPORT
Special Erasion Contn:JI Requirements
Due to the existing grades across the project she, it is crttical
that temporary erosion control measures be planned for and
in pla:::e prior 10 and during g,adlng activities. Temporary
erosion control measures must include, a1 a minimum, (1) sitt
fencing ptacec in the loca1ions depicted on the Barghausen
Grading Plans and (2) installation of a conslruction entrance
consisting of Quarry spalls, as appropriate, to minimize
off-sNe tracking of soil and to provide a firm surface. (ti
construction ingress and egress to and from 1he project site is
through the Black Ri'ler Quarry to lhe west of the project site,
the existing whee! wash facilities near the quarry en1rance
driveway with Monster Rood may be used in lieu of
constructing a construction entrance consisting of quarry
soalls.) Surface water stiould not be allowed to flow over the
top edge of temporary or permanent HII slopes. Except for
surface water in the proposed Interim Stormwater Pond
contemplated as par! of Phase 1 grading arM:I designed on
Sheets E2 and E3 of lhe Barghausen Grading Plans (the top
edge of that pond must be located no closer than BO
horizontal feel from lhe top of the Phase 1 fill slope to the
soulh of the pond without ESNW's appro~al-see Sheet E3 of
the Barghausen Grading Plans), surface water should not be
allowed to pond near the top of temporary or permarien1 fill
slopes without ESNW"s appro~al. ln1erceptor drains or
swales should be considered for controlling surfar::e water
flow pallerns. During construction, ESNW should observe
the erosion control measures and provide sup~emental
recommendabons for minimizing erosion as ne&Oed
Additional erosion and sediment control measures are
specified on the Barghausen Grading Plans.
Subsurface Drainage Specifications Regarding
the Proposed FIii and Cut Slopes
The proposed fill and cut slopes shall be provided with
subsurface drainage features as necessary for slabitily.
Because the subject fill and cut slope proposal includes
placing fills in areas where past grading has occurred, in our
opinion very little subsurface drainage will likely be required.
In order to maintain slope stability during past gradillQ
activities on this site, subsurface drainage provisions were
installed lo accommcx!ate fiows lhal were encountered.
These pro'o'isions appear to be performing as Intended.
Means and methods consistent with pre~ious subsurface
drainage measures (including subsurface corridors of gravel)
to control subsurface drainage shall be implemented as part
of lhe grading activities currently proposed. If subsurface
drainage measures are ultimately needed, particular
rieasures and methods will be determined during site grading
depending on the conditions encountered. Subsurface
drainage measures must be approved by ESNW
representatives to accommodate subsurface flows
encountered during the fill, cul, and gradir,g project
Temporary measures to control groundwater seepage and
surface water runoff during construcUon may involve
additional subsurface drains. interceptor trenches,
sed1mentabon ponds, andlor sump areas. Where
groundwater seepage is observed in areas to be Hied,
permanent subsurface drainage measures must be installed.
The type of drainage measures to be used musl be
de1ermined during construction, once the soil and
groundwater conditions are exposed. Subsurface drainage
measuras sometimes consist o1 perforated pipes surrounded
by drain rock anc wrapped m Hiter fabric
If cut slopes e.xpose seepage, such exposed water shall be
routed to a discharge point approved by ESNW and. if
rweded, an appropria1e portion of the cut slope lace shall be
stabilized usir,g quarry spalls or alternative material(s)
approved by ESNW.
No Terracing of FIii or Cut Slope$ ts Required
No terracing of prop:,sed fil or cut slopes is required due to
lhe reasons set forth in the Geolechnical and Soil
Engineering Report.
