RE: Renton Planning Commission Action on
Special Permit for Fill and Site Approval
Applications for 115 KV Underground Cable
Termination Station in Green River Valley;
Application Numbers SP-780-74 & SA-781-74
Dear Mr. Donner:
The Renton Planning Commission at its July 24 , 1974 Pub-
lic Hearing reviewed both of the abovementioned applications
and approved them with the following conditions:
Special Permit (for Fill) -
1. Staff approval of erosion control methods
on all slopes.
2. Staff approval of final landscape plans.
Site Approval -
1. Staff approval of final landscape plans .
2 . Paving that portion of the ten (10) foot
permanent access easement crossing the
Glacier Park property to the west at such
time as the property is fully developed.
3 . The installation of sight obscuring fence
and landscaping.
4. The provision of a performance bond for
the installation of the landscaping and a
three year maintenance period.
Puget Sound Power & Light Co.
July 25 , 1974

The Planning Commission also suggested that in view
of the fact that the surrounding property is zoned or
anticipated for manufacturing park usage which requires
fairly extensive landscaping, you should consider updating
your existing substation facility on West Valley Highway
just south of St1ander Boulevard by adding additional
screening-type landscaping. This would both compliment
adjacent existing, and proposed areas, and improve the
overall image of a power substation as a "good neighbor" .
If you have any further questions, please contact this
Department.

the staff that it is a minor action with insignificant

The Planning Director described the restaurant facility
and reviewed the site plan . The feasibility of retaining
mature trees on the site has been discussed with the appli -
cant . The landscape plan meets the M-P ordinance and Soil
Conservation Service requirements . A food control permit
will be required from the King County Department of Hydrau-
lics , and an oil -water separator will be required for the
parking areas .
Discussion ensued regarding landscaping and parking plans .
It was noted by Seymour that 126 parking spaces were pro-
vided , while only 91 were required . It was suggested that
the excess parking could be utilized for landscaping .
The Chairman invited comment from the audience but received
no response .

ti;jne and that it is planned to use the temporary access until
ar1' agreement is worked out for permanent crossing .

Noting the location in May Creek Valley adjacent to a

in agreement with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan .

B , OLYMPIC PIPE LINE PROPOSAL
Reminding the Commission of their recommendation to
Warren C . Gonnason , Public Works Director , that an
environmental impact statement be required for Olympic
Pipe Line ' s proposal , the Chairman noted that Mr. Gon-
nason was present to make his response .
Mr. IGonnason advised that the permit that the City would
be ssuing in connection with the franchise itself for the
pipeline merely covers public rights-of-way within the City .
The permit gives the Company the right , subject to City
regulation , to install their petroleum pipeline facilities
within the public rights-of-way of the City .
Responding to the concern of the Planning Commission re-
ga ding the potential impact of a terminus being located
wi hin the City of Renton , Mr . Gonnason indicated that
while he recognized that there could be substantial
im act effects from such development , Olympic Pipe Line
does not actually have a terminus in the City of Renton .
Ir4nter or products through pipelines continues to other
areas . In addition , he stated that the matter of poten-
tial impact does not pertain directly to this application
and that any spinoff impacts , such as petroleum trucking ,
terminal stations , tanks , etc . , should be treated on their
own merits and governed by whatever land use considerations
are involved . He indicated that the City Council , through
its Community Services Committee , had worked with Olympic
and had mitigated a lot of what they considered impacts
within the City itself .
Discussion followed with Commissioner Humble stating that
Olympic had informed Commissioner Scholes , Planning Com-
mission Community Services Committee Chairman , that the
pipeline would not continue on to Portland . Mr . Gonnason
replied that the Company proposes an operation for two
lines to Renton and that the existing line goes to Portland
now . Mr . Farr of Olympic advised him that regarding terminals
for product delivery to organizations such as Shell they can
hook into these pipelines at any point and establish facili -
ties at any pl p-r ; 7 ,- the pipeline .
Further discussion ensued regarding the location of the
Olympic facility in Renton and safety provisions for the
pipeline . The Planning Director noted that all areas of
potential points of danger have specified valve locations .
Responding to Commissioner Wik ' s comment that the Planning
Commission Community Services Committee had looked upon
the matter from the impact that might evolve from the
whole network , Mr . Gonnason said that from some points of
view the impact of using a pipeline is less than other

1 . PROPOSAL IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING COM-
PREHENSIVE PLAN AND AN EXTENSION OF THE COMMER-
CIAL CATEGORY WOULD NOT SEEM REASONABLE IN THIS
AREA .
2. PROPOSAL IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH ANTICIPATED LAND
USES IN THE AREA INCLUDING THE PROPOSED KING
COUNTY PARK.
3 . REZONING OF THE PROPERTY AS PROPOSED WOULD CREATE
A SMALL ISLAND OF LAND REMAINING IN THE G-9600
ZONING CATEGORY.
4 . THE PROPOSAL WOULD TEND TO FURTHER THE ESTABLISH-
MENT OF A STRIP-TYPE COMMERCIAL ZONE ALONG JONES
AVE. N.E.
5. GRANTING OF THE PROPOSAL WOULD ELIMINATE THE
AREA ON THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN DESIGNA-
TED AS MEDIUM DENSITY MULTIPLE-FAMILY WHICH WAS
MEANT TO POSSIBLY ACT AS A BUFFER BETWEEN THE
HIGHER AND LOWER DENSITY LAND USES .
It was noted that the request was not in agreement with
the Comprehensive Land Use Plan .
On the question , MOTION CARRIED .
Responding to Gibson , the Planning Director indicated
that the applicant will be advised of Commission action ,
the reasons , and his right of appeal .

Noting that Puget Sound Power and Light Company is apply-
ing for both a special permit to fill and site approval ,
the Chairman requested background information from the
Planning Director .
SPECIAL PERMIT
Mr . Ericksen pointed out the 9600 square foot site on
the map and indicated significant development in the
vicinity . Approximately two to three feet of fill , or
2300 cubic yards , are planned . It is the opinion of
the staff that in terms of environmental impact , the
proposed filling and grading constitutes a negative
declaration of impact .
SITE APPROVAL

ning Director . The proposal is for construction of a
substation enclosed by a cyclone fence . Landscape
screening will be provided . The existing access road

Chairman Teegarden requested a description of the application
from the Planning Director .
Mr . ricksen pointed out the 1 . 2 acre site located in the May
Cree Valley area on the vicinity map . He indicated the B- 1
zone area contiguous to the property to the north and west
and oted that a G-zoned island of land would be created , should
the ;equest be granted . The applicant has been advised of the
apparent conflict his request presents , since the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan indicates the area as medium density multiple fam-
ily.
The lanning Director advised that present usage is a contrac-
tor '' office , shop and storage facility and observed that it is
not n acceptable use in the present G-9600 zone . Noting that
the equest falls under Shoreline Management jurisdiction , he
indi ated that the site is in an area where the matter of con-
flic between the Shoreline Master Program and existing zoning
is being reviewed by the Comprehensive Plan Committee .
Aeri 1 photographs and slides were viewed , and the relation-
ship of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan to the property was
note .
The hairman called for comment from the applicant , but there
was o response .
Ross requested that the report from the Comprehensive Plan
Committee regarding its study of the area be made available
prior to any action by the Commission . Humble advised that
he was unable to provide a date for report in view of current
involvement of the committee in extensive meetings and study
of possible amendments to the Comprehensive Plan in the Green
River Valley and Hospital area .
The Chairman recognized Mrs . Helen Schei , 4108 Jones Ave . N . E . ,
owner of property north of the site , who stated that she had
brought the matter to the attention of the Building Division
and Planning Department . She questioned the type of use in a
B- 1 zone . It was indicated by Assistant Planner Smith that
the matter was being reviewed by the Building Division and
the City Attorney , as well as the Planning Department .
Discussion ensued regarding appropriateness of present use
in a B- 1 zone . It was then MOVED BY MOLA , SECONDED BY WIK ,
