REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION .
APPLICANT: Service Paper Company FILE NO. SP-388-79,
SA-389-79
LOCATION: Northeast corner of Lind Avenue S.W. and S.W. 34th Street.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Applicant seeks approval of a special permit for fill and grade
of approximately 15,000 cubic yards together with site approval
for a 100,000 square foot warehouse structure.
SUMMARY OF ACPION: Planning Department Recommendation: Approval of special
permit with conditions; Continuance of site approval hearing.
Hearing Examiner Decision: Approval of special permit and
site plan with conditions.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT The Planning Department preliminary report was received by the
REPORT: Examiner on August 22, 1979.
PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Planning Department report, examining
available information on file with the application, and field
checking the property and surrounding area, the Examiner
conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows:
The hearing was opened on August 28, 1979, at 9:40 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the
Renton Municipal Building.
Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner.
It was reported that the Hearing Examiner and the applicant had received and reviewed the
Planning Department report, and the report was entered into the record as Exhibit #1.
Roger Blaylock, Associate Planner, reviewed Exhibit #1, and entered the following additional
exhibits into the record:
Exhibit #2: Site Plan as submitted
Exhibit #3: Site Plan as amended by applicant
with staff comments
The Examiner inquired if a cross section diagram for fill material had been included with
the application. Mr. Blaylock advised that detailed plans for filling, grading and
drainage would be required prior to issuance of the building permit by the Public Works
Department. Mr. Blaylock reviewed revisions to Exhibit #3 which include installation of
meandering sidewalks and street tree plantings. He noted that because of difficulty in
calculating dimensions of proposed parking spaces on submitted plans, the Planning
Department recommends continuance of the public hearing until detailed site plans are
submitted.
The Examiner requested testimony by the applicant. Responding was:
Lance Mueller
130 Lakeside
Seattle, WA 98122
Mr. Mueller, architect for the applicant, advised that during the submittal process of
previous applications, his firm had not been required to submit final landscape plans at
this stage but had provided plans denoting the general intent of development. He indicated
his understanding that a building permit could be issued subject to submittal of final
landscaping plans and the site plan could also be approved on that basis. Mr. Mueller
advised that three times the parking area required by the city can be provided on the site,
and he suggested possible revisions to plans which include provision of additional parking
along the south side of the proposed building adjacent to S.W. 34th Street and relocation
of underground tanks. He assured the Examiner that parking requirements would be met and
all landscaping and parking areas would be designated on the final plan to be submitted to
the Building Division. Mr. Mueller concluded his testimony with a request for completion
of the hearing in lieu of the recommendation by the Planning Department for continuance.
SP-388-79 Page Two
SA-389-79
The 'Examiner requested a completion date for the filling and grading project. Mr. Mueller
advised that upon approval of the site plan, revision of the quantity of fill material would
be equired as a result of a previous error in calculation, and the project would commence
som time prior to the onset of inclement weather this year.
The 'Examiner requested clarification of final elevations of the fill project. Mr. Mueller
indicated that the finished floor of the building would be established at 21.8 feet from
sea level, and final elevation of the grade would be four feet less or 17.8 feet.
The Examiner requested testimony in support or opposition to the request. There was no
response. He then requested final comments from the Planning Department. Mr. Blaylock
advised the necessity of modification in the designation of natural and landscaped areas
on proposed plans to preclude detrimental effects from an overgrowth of weeds at the
southeast corner of the proposed building. Mr. Mueller indicated concurrence in the
recommendation for modification of the plan.
The Examiner stated that because the applicant has demonstrated a good faith attempt to
meet city requirements, landscaping and parking details may be coordinated by the applicant
and the Planning Department as a condition of approval of the request, if such approval
is granted, and therefore, the hearing would not be continued.
The Examiner requested final comments. Since there were none, the hearing on File No.
SP-388-79 and SA-389-79 was closed by the Examiner at 10:04 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner
now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
1. The request is for approval of a special permit for filling and grading of approximately
25,000 cubic yards together with a site approval for a 100,000 square foot warehouse/
office structure.
2. The Planning Department report sets forth the issues, applicable policies and provisions,
findings of fact, and departmental recommendations in this matter, and is hereby
attached as Exhibit #1 and incorporated in this report by reference as set forth in
full therein.
3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental
Policy Act of 1971, R.C.W. 43.21.C. , as amended, a Declaration of Non-Significance
has been issued for the subject proposal by Gordon Y. Ericksen, responsible official.
4. Plans for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the
impact of this development.
5. There was no opposition to the proposal expressed.
6. All existing utilities are available and in close proximity.
7. The proposal is compatible with the required setbacks, lot coverage and height
requirements of Section 4-730 (M-P, Manufacturing Park) of Title IV, Ordinance No.
1628, Code of General Ordinances.
8. The subject property is located at the northeast corner of S.W. 34rd Street and Lind
Avenue S.W.
9. The property is zoned M-P (Manufacturing Park) .
10. The site has been previously surcharged under Special Permit 822-75 and is generally
level. The applicant has requested a new special permit pursuant to Sections 4-722 (B)
and 4-2303.1.B(2) to complete the filling and grading operation. The record indicated
that the amount of fill is greater than the 15,000 cubic yards specified in the
application but the exact amount is unspecified. The applicant asked for approval of
some quantity not to exceed 25,000 cubic yards.
11. The applicant has also requested site approval under the provisions of Section
4-730.040(9) which requires site approval for all structures in an M-P zone. The
applicant proposes to construct a 100,000 square foot warehouse and office structure.
12. The Planning Department indicated that the parking and landscape plans were insufficient
for planning purposes and recommended a continuance. The applicant indicated that
there was indeed more than sufficient space to provide the required parking. He also
stated that the landscaping would be based on the tentative plans and would be
Sr ....8-79 Page Three
SA-389-79
implemented in accordance with Planning Department requirements. The tentative plans
show generalized locations and species. The applicant indicated that they would plant
trees from the Planning Department's recommended list of street trees and ground cover.
13. The grading and filling has eliminated all the natural vegetation but the applicant
has indicated that natural type vegetation shall be replanted on the site in compliance
with Fesolution No. 1923 (Maintenance of Wildlife Habitat) .
CONCLUSIONS:
Special Permit
1. The subject site has been the object of a previous fill and grading permit (Special
Permit 822-75) . The approval of the application will permit the applicant to bring
the property up to standards for development in the Green River flood area.
2. The completion of the fill and grade operation will not cause any further degradation
to the area or the local environment. Approval will not harm the public welfare nor
injure neighboring properties.
3. The proposed grading and filling will permit the use of the land in a manner that is
compatible with the Comprehensive Plan and the Green River Valley Comprehensive Plan
See Site Plan, next conclusion) .
Site Plan
4. The applicant has submitted plans to construct a +100,000 square foot warehouse and
office facility on the subject site after completion of the filling and grading.
The proposal appears to be compatible with the other development occurring in the
vicinity. The structure will be used for the storage and distribution of finished
paper products.
5. The plans are also compatible with the zoning of the area which is M-P (Manufacturing
Park) and the Comprehensive Plan and Green River Valley Comprehensive Plan designations
of the area as suitable for use as manufacturing park.
6. The plans indicate that setbacks and landscaping will also meet the objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan for the development of areas capable of supporting natural wildlife
and vegetation.
7. The plan as submitted lacks final detail as to the type of landscaping which will be
planted and in what manner and numbers. The plans also provide only the gross area
which will serve as parking but lacks the required detail of individual stall and
aisle designation and location. The applicant indicated that there will be more than
sufficient area for the required parking and such parking requirements shall be a
condition of approval.
The applicant and the Planning Department will also be required to coordinate the
landscaping of the subject site to meet the requirements of both the provisions of
Section 4-730 and the Green River Valley Comprehensive Plan and Resolution No. 1923
Wildlife Habitat) .
DECISION:
The Special Permit is approved subject to the following:
a. The maximum amount of fill shall not exceed 25,000 cubic yards; and
b. The final plans for filling and grading shall be approved subject to approval
of the Public Works Department.
The Site Plan is approved subject to the following:
a. The designation of each required parking space on the plans, and each space s}ia11
meet the minimum requirements of Chapter 22, Parking and loading Ordinance;
b. The approval by the Planning Department of the final landscaping ai: .implementred; and
c. The installation of off-site improvements along Lind Avenu( :".Vi.

2. Population/Employment : The fill and grade permit will
have no direct impact on employment . However, the development
of the warehouse on the site will generate approximately 30-35
number of employees.
3. Schools : N/A
4. Social : N/A
5. Traffic: The proposed warehouse/office facility will generate
approximately 750 additional vehicle trips per day for the ware-
housing use (3. 68 trips/1 ,000 square feet + 374 trips) .
J. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT/THRESHOLD DETERMINATION :
Pursuant to the City of Renton' s Environmental Ordinance and the
State Environmental Policy Act of 1971 , as amended, RCW 43-21C,
a declaration of non-significance has been issued for the proposed
fill and warehouse development . Landscaping will buffer the
visual impact of this large warehouse structure .
K. AGENCIES/DEPARTMENTS CONTACTED:
1. City of Renton Building Division.
2. City of Renton Engineering Division .
3. City of Renton Traffic Engineering Division.
4. City of Renton Utilities Division .
5. City of Renton Fire Department .
6. City of Renton Police Department .
L. PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS :
1. The applicant proposes to place approximately 15,000 cubic
yards of fill material to raise the building 5 . 3 feet in
elevation from 16. 3 to 21 . 8 feet above sea level.
2. The applicant has not submitted a detailed cross section of the
proposed fill on the property. Based on rough calculations ,
the 15, 000 cubic yards is only sufficient to raise the building
pad. Additional fill will be necessary to grade the parking
area up to the finished building elevation. If the entire site
was filled above the flood level of 21 . 8 feet , approximately
25, 000 cubic yards of fill would be ncessary.
M. DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATIONS : (SPECIAL PERMIT)
The staff recommends that the Hearing Examiner approve the Special
Permit for filling and grading requested by Service Paper Company
File Number SP-388-79 subject to the following conditions :
1 . That the maximum amount of fill shall not exceed 25, 000 cubic
yards .
2 . That detailed plans for filling and grading be reviewed and
approved by the Department of Public Works prior to issuance of
a building permit .
L. PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS : (SITE APPROVAL)
1 . The applicant proposes to construct a ±100,000 square foot
warehouse/office facility on a ±4. 4 acre site located at the
northeast corner of Lind Avenue SW and SW 34th Street . The office
portion will be ±4 ,500 square feet with the remaining warehousing
for storage and distribution of finished paper products.
2. The proposed warehouse/office facility is consistent with the
intent of the Manufacturing Park Zone , RMC 4-730, in respect to
permitted uses , setbacks , landscaping and other requirements.

3. The parking lot design appears to be inconsistent with the
requirements of Section 4-22 of the Parking and Loading Ordinance .
The site plan does not show the individual parking spaces or
aisle width. A total of 89 parking spaces are provided; 88 spaces
are required. However, 2 of those spaces are designated as
compacts and the Renton Municipal Code does not address the
question of compact parking spaces.
4. The site plan shows approximately 3,940 square feet of landscaping
areas adjacent to the parking lot in addition to the required
landscaping along the public rights-of-way. This complies with the
requirement of RMC 4-2204. 8B(3) of the Parking and Loading
Ordinance to landscape 5% of the parking area.
5. Ordinance #1923 requires that a minimum 2% of the total site
be left in natural vegetation for wildlife habitat . However, the
previous filling of the site has eliminated all natural vegetation.
The site plan submitted suggests planting field grasses on the
north side of the building to meet this requirement . This
appears to provide a sufficient area for a wildlife habitat as
intended; however, use of the area as a habitat is limited by the
fact that the area must be left open to provide fire access. The
selection of plant materials will ultimately determine if the
natural area actually provides a suitable wildlife habitat .
6. The improvements on Lind Avenue South have not been completed at
this time . The LID does not include the construction of the 5 '
wide sidewalks. Therefore , they should be required as a portion
of in conjunction with the construction of the building. The
improvements along SW 34th are presently under construction by
Glacier Park Company.
Attached are other departmental comments for your review.
M. DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATIONS : (SITE APPROVAL)
The staff recommends that the public hearing be continued until the
applicant provides a final site plan including elevations and
landscaping.

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

1. Comprehensive Plan, Green River Valley , June 1976 , Goals and
Objectives.
I . IMPACT ON THE NATURAL OR HUMAN ENVIRONMENT:
1 . Natural Systems : The soils on the site have been recently
disturbed. Development of the site will increase storm water
runoff and cause an increase in traffic and noise levels in
the area. However, through proper development controls and
procedures , these impacts can be mitigated.

2. Population/Employment : The fill and grade permit will
have no direct impact on employment . However, the development
of the warehouse on the site will generate approximately 30-35
number of employees.
3. Schools : N/A
4. Social : N/A
5. Traffic: The proposed warehouse/office facility will generate
approximately 750 additional vehicle trips per day for the ware-
housing use (3. 68 trips/1 ,000 square feet + 374 trips) .
J . ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT/THRESHOLD DETERMINATION:
Pursuant to the City of Renton' s Environmental Ordinance and the
State Environmental Policy Act of 1971 , as amended, RCW 43-21C,
a declaration of non-significance has been issued for the proposed
fill and warehouse development . Landscaping will buffer the
visual impact of this large warehouse structure .
K. AGENCIES/DEPARTMENTS CONTACTED:
1. City of Renton Building Division.
2 . City of Renton Engineering Division .
3. City of Renton Traffic Engineering Division .
4. City of Renton Utilities Division .
5. City of Renton Fire Department .
6. City of Renton Police Department .
L. PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS :
1. The applicant proposes to place approximately 15,000 cubic
yards of fill material to raise the building 5 . 3 feet in
elevation from 16. 3 to 21. 8 feet above sea level .
2. The applicant has not submitted a detailed cross section of the
proposed fill on the property. Based on rough calculations ,
the 15, 000 cubic yards is only sufficient to raise the building
pad. Additional fill will be necessary to grade the parking
area up to the finished building elevation. If the entire site
was filled above the flood level of 21. 8 feet , approximately
25,000 cubic yards of fill would be ncessary.
M. DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATIONS : (SPECIAL PERMIT)
The staff recommends that the Hearing Examiner approve the Special
Permit for filling and grading requested by Service Paper Company
File Number SP-388-79 subject to the following conditions :
1 . That the maximum amount of fill shall not exceed 25, 000 cubic
yards.
2. That detailed plans for filling and grading be reviewed and
approved by the Department of Public Works prior to issuance of
a building permit .
L. PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS : (SITE APPROVAL)
1 . The applicant proposes to construct a ±100 ,000 square foot
warehouse/office facility on a ±4. 4 acre site located at the
northeast corner of Lind Avenue SW and SW 34th Street . The office
portion will be ±4 ,500 square feet with the remaining warehousing
for storage and distribution of finished paper products.
2. The proposed warehouse/office facility is consistent with the
intent of the Manufacturing Park Zone , RMC 4-730, in respect to
permitted uses , setbacks , landscaping and other requirements.

3. The parking lot design appears to be inconsistent with the
requirements of Section 4-22 of the Parking and Loading Ordinance .
The site plan does not show the individual parking spaces or
aisle width. A total of 89 parking spaces are provided; 88 spaces
are required. However , 2 of those spaces are designated as
compacts and the Renton Municipal Code does not address the
question of compact parking spaces.
4. The site plan shows approximately 3,940 square feet of landscaping
areas adjacent to the parking lot in addition to the required
landscaping along the public rights-of-way. This complies with the
requirement of RMC 4-2204. 8B(3) of the Parking and Loading
Ordinance to landscape 5% of the parking area.
5. Ordinance #1923 requires that a minimum 2% of the total site
be left in natural vegetation for wildlife habitat . However, the
previous filling of the site has eliminated all natural vegetation.
The site plan submitted suggests planting field grasses on the
north side of the building to meet this requirement . This
appears to provide a sufficient area for a wildlife habitat as
intended; however, use of the area as a habitat is limited by the
fact that the area must be left open to provide fire access. The
selection of plant materials will ultimately determine if the
natural area actually provides a suitable wildlife habitat .
6. The improvements on Lind Avenue South have not been completed at
this time. The LID does not include the construction of the 5'
wide sidewalks . Therefore , they should be required as a portion
of iA conjunction with the construction of the building. The
improvements along SW 34th are presently under construction by
Glacier Park Company.
Attached are other departmental comments for your review.
M. DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATIONS : (SITE APPROVAL)
The staff recommends that the public hearing be continued until the
applicant provides a final site plan including elevations and
landscaping.
